| goku12205 | how do i run an exploit against my desktop!!! | 00:00 |
| chetnick | i installed kubuntu-desktop on ubuntu, after logging in kubuntu it asked me to enter keyring pass or something like that, which i did. Now when i went back to ubuntu, it is asking me "Enter password for default keyring to unlock". I put the pass, but it is keep popping up, like it is wrong pass. How to get rid of that? | 00:00 |
| goku12205 | i already have compiled it | 00:00 |

| TwoToneSpirit | For many days, I've been looking for a way to share X applications (or, preferably, an entire workspace) on multiple computers at the same time.

Does anybody care to comment on the options it offers? http://www.faqs.org/faqs/x-faq/part6/section-4.html | 00:05 |

| bazhang | phyrrus, please dont advertise here | 00:06 |
| joaopinto | shingen, tscoks is a client command, why would you want to call tsocks on apache start ? | 00:06 |
| joaopinto | tsocks | 00:06 |
| dementor | i install monitorix but not work | 00:07 |
| dementor | it has no graphics | 00:07 |
| shingen | joaopinto: because I have mysql services that can only be accessed through socks proxies | 00:07 |
| joaopinto | dementor, what is monitorix ? There is no such package | 00:07 |
| joaopinto | shingen, so you don't want to start tsocks before apache, tscoks is applied to a command, you want to run apache WITH tsocks | 00:08 |
| Lancearate | (reposted) I'm having difficulty with an intermittent hard crash in Ubuntu-9.04 AMD64 when attempting large file operations like backing up to a portable drive (every few minutes), or very intermittently (once or twice weekly) with regular use.

| mulle | is there a better ftp program than proftp? | 00:08 |

| person | Hello | 00:24 |
| dirtbag666 | I've got a huge problem: I just accidentally deleted from an external hard drive (vfat). Now I'm trying to recover the date using FOREMOST. Unfortunately it always tries to read from stdin ("Processing: stdin") although I ran: sudo foremost -v -t jpg -i /dev/scd0 | 00:24 |
| dirtbag666 | ANY ideas? | 00:24 |
| Hagbard__ | anyone know where to find .emacs file? | 00:24 |
| jwyanze | someone told me | tee file.txt but that does not seem to work unless the command is completed successfuly | 00:24 |
| joaopinto | jwyanze, you need to do 2>&1, errors use a different file description | 00:25 |
| jwyanze | Hagbard__: do u have it installed | 00:25 |
| nevyn | joaopinto: try typescript | 00:25 |
| joaopinto | jwyanze, you need to force errors to go to stdout | 00:25 |
| person | I'm disabling some services; the app I'm using is warning me that disabling avahi daemon may affect system behaviour in several ways, possibly leading to data loss. | 00:25 |
| joaopinto | nevyn, uh ? | 00:25 |
| person | But it's nothing to worry about, is it? I can just disable it, right? | 00:25 |

| nevyn | jwyanze: the package typescript captures all input/ouput from a terminal session | 00:29 |
| jwyanze | this is the command i issued (ine /media/disk/Star* | tee ~/Desktop/logfile.txt) | 00:29 |
| jwyanze | is it installed by default or do i have to install it | 00:30 |
| nevyn | jwyanze: but that's not capturing output on failure so there are a few options | 00:30 |
| GaijinD | It's being shared by a Win XP system; I click on "new printer," select "Windows Printer via SAMBA" and click browse. I'm able to see the network and the PC it's being shared from, but trying to expand the tree further causes all of the Printer configuration windows to close. | 00:30 |

| Shino__ | yes | 00:31 |
| Shino__ | i am | 00:31 |
| sebsebseb | !sudo | Shino__ | 00:31 |
| ubottu | Shino__: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) | 00:31 |
| WindowsUser | ubuntu has a sudo hardon | 00:31 |
| godmodegrafix | then just type sudo before command | 00:31 |
| Lancearate | gandalfcome: what for example did you find? | 00:31 |
| godmodegrafix | lol | 00:31 |
| Lancearate | gandalfcome: I'm not very technically minded, but I don't see anything that screams out to me as a problem | 00:31 |
| bazhang | WindowsUser, no need for that here | 00:31 |
| gandalfcome | Lancearate: I found: invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP | 00:31 |
| overclucker | shino, do you actually need to log in as 'root'? | 00:32 |
| jwyanze | nevyn: well i launch a program and it had a crash with no error prompt so i want to launch it through the terminal and output the log from start up to thepoint where it crashed to a file | 00:32 |

| overclucker | godmodegrafix, read the book's intro | 00:34 |
| jwyanze | what is std | 00:34 |
| bazhang | FloridaGuy, install nvidia-settings | 00:34 |

| godmodegrafix | i read it, but Glibc-2.2.5 doesnt appear in the package manager | 00:35 |
| godmodegrafix | i found everything except that | 00:35 |
| godmodegrafix | all i found was the documentation for it | 00:35 |

| omarthamer | hi need help in Xview application | 00:37 |
| mattparry | Hi, whats the development IRC for kubuntu called? does anyone know? | 00:38 |
| gandalfcome | Lancearate: I always found these problems hard to debug. I can only give you some pointers that MIGHT help: Do a memorytest, think about your powersupply and see if the system has enough power, try to find a way to replicate the error everytime .... | 00:38 |
| omarthamer | any one can help | 00:38 |
| slipttees | bazhang: very slow connection in the sis191 ethernet | 00:38 |
| ShadowAp3x | Lancearate: I would also try doing the transfer over a livecd to see if it is software-related or hardware-related | 00:38 |
| slipttees | i can ping every website, can surf on ff or use apt-get | 00:38 |
| slipttees | cant surf** | 00:39 |
| bazhang | slipttees, dns issue? | 00:39 |
| Lancearate | ShadowAp3x: Actually, I just tried that - Same hard crash. Like I said, the result is repeatable when performing large file operations (e.g.: backups) | 00:39 |
| slipttees | nope, i'm have a route, now i'm surf on web | 00:40 |
| MEGApancakes | laberath mind mapping is not opening when i click on it | 00:40 |
| MEGApancakes | can anyone please help | 00:40 |
| Lancearate | gandalfcome: the computer's up-time with Windows Vista was rather exemplary (many months), so I've reason to believe this is not a hardware problem | 00:40 |
| omarthamer | hi i need some help in xview application | 00:40 |
| bazhang | slipttees, this is via a proxy? what route do you speak of | 00:40 |
| ShadowAp3x | Lancearate: Definitely sounds hardware related. I would try what gandalfcome recommended and run memtest or hardware tests | 00:40 |

| slipttees | yes via a proxy ! | 00:41 |
| Lancearate | ShadowAp3x: I'll run memtest on the host machine. How long does one normally run memtest to check for instability? | 00:41 |

| nevyn | I hate shell redirection | 00:43 |
| bazhang | slipttees, so your computer shows you as being connecting but you cannot access any of the internet, with the exception of irc | 00:43 |
| slipttees | bazhang: proxy allow all access from my laptop's | 00:43 |

| bazhang | slipttees, has the non-working one every worked? | 00:45 |
| nevyn | jwyanze: I had an extra > | 00:45 |
| GaijinD | Never mind. I seem to have fixed things in a roundabout manner. | 00:45 |
| slipttees | yes | 00:45 |
| nevyn | jwyanze: so it's program 2>&1 |tee file | 00:45 |
| jwyanze | yea that works | 00:45 |
| slipttees | bazhang: yes bro | 00:45 |
| jwyanze | but to me seen cmd with 2 >> already (whats different now) | 00:46 |
| antonio__ | have a problem with my video card, an ati radeon 9200 SE, yesterday I replaced my old voodoo3 with this card and ubuntu 8.10 recognised it, then I tried to change the driver and after that was not able to recover the working configuration | 00:46 |
| slipttees | bazhang: bcm4213 work on eth0 :-\ sis191 work with sis190 driver on eth1 | 00:46 |
| antonio__ | now I'm without x server, someone can help? is there a way to copy the configuration created wih live ? | 00:47 |
| nevyn | jwyanze: I can't parse your last sentance. | 00:47 |
| slipttees | bazhang: thx for support, i want sleep little bit | 00:48 |
| MidasManchu | hi guys, i'm looking for a backup solution similar to rsync that backs up files, yet leaves them on the server in a compressed format. Anyone know of anything? | 00:48 |
| slipttees | thx, i'll search about in jedi google | 00:48 |
| slipttees | ^^ | 00:48 |
| slipttees | later all | 00:48 |
| FloridaGuy | how do i get out of xserver and go to cli | 00:49 |
| jwyanze | nevyn: i have seen commands with >> before i was wondering why it wont work here or if all the other times i have seen it it was wrong | 00:49 |
| janisoza1r | FloridaGuy: alt-ctrl-f1 ... -f6 | 00:49 |
| janisoza1r | FloridaGuy: to get back to x, switch to tty7 | 00:49 |
| nevyn | jwyanze: ok >> appends to a file | 00:49 |
| janisoza1r | FloridaGuy: that is -f7 | 00:49 |
| MidasManchu | note that alt-ctrl fkeys don't exit out of X | 00:50 |
| nevyn | jwyanze: because in this case we're re-directing streams > is the correct operator | 00:50 |
| th0r | MidasManchu: why not just use tar.gz? | 00:50 |
| nevyn | jwyanze: it's being used in a different context | 00:50 |
| antonio__ | someone know about x server configuraztion recovery? | 00:50 |
| FloridaGuy | janisoza1r, that wont lever the xserver runing at all | 00:50 |
| janisoza1r | FloridaGuy: note what MidasManchu said | 00:50 |
| ShadowAp3x | FloridaGuy: do: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 00:50 |
| ShadowAp3x | after going to tty1 (by pressing ctrl-alt-f1) | 00:51 |
| jwyanze | nevyn: oh ok | 00:51 |
| Quantix | Hey guys anybody here know of a good external hard drive that is ubuntu compatible? | 00:51 |
| MidasManchu | th0r, the main reason is that I add and delete files regularly and care about a current snapshot more than whether my files are erased | 00:51 |
| FloridaGuy | Xorg -configure .....Fatal server error: Server is already active for display 0 | 00:51 |
| ShadowAp3x | Quantix: any external hdd should work with Ubuntu | 00:51 |
| FloridaGuy | thats why i want out of xserver | 00:52 |
| th0r | MidasManchu: yeah, but you can write a script easy enough that would tar and gzip the files you are interested in, and mark the tar.gz with the time and date in the filename | 00:52 |
| ShadowAp3x | FloridaGuy: did you kill GDM? | 00:52 |
| Quantix | ShadoowAp3x: Really? Because ive already had compatibility issues with an mp3 player, and a router. So i want to make sure it doesn't happen again. | 00:52 |
| bastidrazor | antonio__, sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg will re-detect but not recover. this command could get you back in the GUI though. | 00:52 |
| nevyn | Quantix: filesystems get kinda interesting tho. | 00:52 |
| janisoza1r | FloridaGuy: kill the gdm | 00:52 |
| cjae | I have a lvm question, I have three hard disks one with / and swap on non-lvm partitions, and the remainder of that drive plus the other two need to be ext4 with a mount point of /home, I have the physical partitions created with lvmbuntu as the volume group, but I am not sure how to make them ext4 with a mount point of /home | 00:52 |
| ShadowAp3x | FloridaGuy: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 00:52 |
| janisoza1r | with recent (yesterday or so) adobe flash update, how do you find fullscreen video on youtube (on x64)? has it improved? | 00:52 |
| Quantix | What about an external hardrive that is just a harddrive with an enclosure? | 00:52 |
| antonio__ | ok, will try | 00:53 |
| MidasManchu | th0r, I suppose it's worth a shot. Thanks | 00:53 |
| nevyn | Quantix: that'll work | 00:53 |
| ShadowAp3x | Quantix: Ubuntu should be able to read any fs that Windows can | 00:53 |
| FloridaGuy | ShadowAp3x, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop...to restart it...would it be gdm start | 00:53 |
| ShadowAp3x | Quantix: only ones you have to worry about are proprietary ones that need software to access (such as mp3 players) | 00:53 |
| nevyn | ShadowAp3x: and with ntfs-3g it can even write them all | 00:53 |
| th0r | MidasManchu: you want it compressed, right? you can run the script in cron and have it backup every five minutes if you like | 00:53 |
| === solexious_ is now known as solexious | ||
| janisoza1r | FloridaGuy: exactly. if you type the argument wrong, it should list possible options | 00:54 |
| Quantix | ShadowAp3x: Oh okay got it. So an external hard drive that is plug and play in windows should be fine in Ubuntu? | 00:54 |
| MidasManchu | th0r, yeah, I think that's what I'll do. | 00:54 |
| ShadowAp3x | FloridaGuy: to start it, yeah, you would add start instead of stop | 00:54 |
| Dr_Willis | Quantix: i use external ntfs disks all the time. | 00:54 |
| LinuX2half | Why my screen remain dark after suspension? | 00:54 |
| ubuntu | Quantix, yes | 00:54 |
| ShadowAp3x | Quantix: yeah | 00:54 |
| th0r | MidasManchu: consider using bzip instead of gzip...much tighter compression, tar.bz files | 00:54 |
| Quantix | Thanks! Just making sure i don't buy something that isn't compatible... | 00:54 |
| Quantix | Again! | 00:54 |
| th0r | MidasManchu: or is that tar.bz2? | 00:55 |
| MidasManchu | th0r, I might just use 7zip and get the max compression | 00:55 |
| rubyist | i need to get some old python2.4 packages, is there any repository i can use? (arch amd64) | 00:55 |
| Quantix | Oh and another thing....since my router is incompatible im going to buy a new one, any suggestions? | 00:55 |
| nevyn | Quantix: out of curiousity what did you buy that didn't work? | 00:55 |
| solexious | If I make a new pc with 3 nvidia cards with dual dvi outputs, can ubuntu handle all 6 screens? not with dual view? | 00:55 |
| ithicine | Quantix: you might also want to avoid external HDDs that claim encryption as a feature... a lot of cheap USB HDDs require special windows-only software to access them. It should be possible to make them work, but it's unnecessary trouble. Also, you may find the backup buttons don't work | 00:55 |
| janisoza1r | rubyist: have you tried PPAs? | 00:55 |
| LinuX2half | I can't bright up the screen and the screen is pitch black. | 00:55 |
| MidasManchu | th0r, I might actually even skip rsync and just scp the files over | 00:55 |
| rubyist | janisoza1r: PPA's? | 00:56 |
| janisoza1r | !ppa | rubyist | 00:56 |
| ubottu | rubyist: With Launchpad's Personal Package Archives (PPA), you can build and publish binary Ubuntu packages for multiple architectures simply by uploading an Ubuntu source package to Launchpad. See https://help.launchpad.net/PPAQuickStart. | 00:56 |
| Dr_Willis | solexious: should be able to. there may be some issues.. but Twinview is very well done. | 00:56 |
| LinuX2half | Someone said that my there's something wrong with my BIOs that Linux had trouble with | 00:56 |
| ChrisR | Help , I am looking to recruit a advanced Ubuntu User to Setup a Secure Server to host Voice n Streaming Server. Please only experienced n serious inquiries | 00:56 |
| Quantix | A Netgear wpn824 V3 router. Stupid peice of shit only works with windows computers. Can't make it work with wii, zune, iphone, or linux laptops. Searched through forums, tried many different settings. Theres no hope. | 00:56 |
| cjae | so it is sda1 = /, sda2 = swap sda3,4,5 are extended logical sda6 =/home (and one part of lvm)(lvmbuntu is volume group), sdc5 =lvm(lvmbuntu) and sdb =lvm (lvmbuntu) but now I need filesystems on the lvmbuntu group that is ext4 | 00:56 |
| janisoza1r | rubyist: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas | 00:56 |
| th0r | MidasManchu: oh...I thought the files resided on the same server with the backup. But still, you could script the whole operation | 00:56 |
| Quantix | Also a samsung p2...but i got that working. | 00:56 |
| colloguy | how do I temporarily change my primary group? Like sudo but for groups. I don't wanna lose my environment using newgrp : / | 00:56 |
| nevyn | Quantix: umm it has ethernet right? | 00:56 |
| ithicine | Quantix: any regular old USB HDD will work, as they present themselves to the operating system as mass storage devices. | 00:56 |
| solexious | Dr_Willis, does twinview allow each screen to have its own compiz cube? | 00:57 |
| michael | I have an unknown file type and I need help opening it please | 00:57 |
| cjae | solexious, yes | 00:57 |
| rubyist | janisoza1r: damn.. not there :( | 00:57 |
| dewc | try the command "file" | 00:57 |
| dewc | michael: file nameoffilehere | 00:58 |
| Dr_Willis | solexious: never noticed.. i find the cube totally useless. | 00:58 |
| dewc | see if that yields and results | 00:58 |
| Dr_Willis | solexious: proberly one of the most useless things ive seen in compiz :) | 00:58 |
| ithicine | michael: what is the filename | 00:58 |
| ChrisR | Can Some please tell where i can find a experienced Ubuntu User that I can recruit to setup a server. Or at least documentation on how to | 00:58 |
| MidasManchu | th0r, they are, however rsync would try to re sync the files again correct? if they're compressed, rsync will see them as not there and try again? | 00:58 |
| michael | gave x86 boot sector guys | 00:58 |
| rubyist | janisoza1r: any other ideas | 00:58 |
| solexious | Dr_Willis, heh, well if not the cube specificity then desktops? | 00:58 |
| cjae | so would it be mkfs ext4 /dev/lvmbuntu /home? | 00:58 |
| janisoza1r | rubyist: compile from source | 00:59 |
| Quantix | Got to go sorry guys. | 00:59 |
| godmodegrafix | later everyone! | 00:59 |
| rubyist | janisoza1r: alright | 00:59 |
| ultraz | Hello, does anyone know how to colorize [ OK ] during boot, like in other distros ? | 00:59 |
| th0r | MidasManchu: yeah....I don't think you want rsync unless you are happy with just one backup...then rsync would see a newer version of the file and sync it | 00:59 |
| janisoza1r | rubyist: use checkinstall | 00:59 |
| Dr_Willis | solexious: you need to clarify exactly what you are trying to do.. I use 2 monitors (1 video card) all the time. I have Twinview set up so i have one 'wide' desktop spanning both. | 00:59 |
| Guyver | hey | 00:59 |
| Guest74437 | who is good at this in home security for ubuntu linux 9.04.so i can get a person to help me out . | 00:59 |
| LinuX2half | why my screen turned dark after suspension? | 00:59 |
| Guyver | that's a secret | 00:59 |
| michael | you didn't accidently press the windows key and m did you? | 01:00 |
| michael | \ | 01:00 |
| janisoza1r | michael: what happens then? | 01:00 |
| solexious | Dr_Willis, if you maxamise a window, does it stay on one screen, or span both? | 01:00 |
| Guest74437 | i want to be safe from anybody trying to hack/crack my os | 01:00 |
| Dr_Willis | solexious: it fullscreens to the monitor it is on in most cases.. some very badly written apps can get confused and try both. | 01:01 |
| janisoza1r | Guest74437: disconnect from the internet | 01:01 |
| Guest74437 | no | 01:01 |
| ShadowAp3x | @janisoza1r: lmao | 01:01 |
| michael | it gave me: file DC3DFC09.001 | 01:01 |
| bazhang | Guest74437, yes, and I gave you links to deal with that; please stop repeating | 01:01 |
| bastidrazor | Guest37787, create a strong password for your user account and do not enable root.. you are safe. | 01:01 |

| Dr_Willis | solexious: i have the video player fullscreened on monitor #2 most of the time.. and normal desktp on #1 | 01:01 |
| ChrisR | has ubuntu fixed their flash problems since 8.10? | 01:01 |
| janisoza1r | Guest74437: then consider yourself unsafe | 01:01 |

| nevyn | bastidrazor: maybe | 01:01 |
| bazhang | Guest74437, please stop repeating | 01:01 |
| solexious | Dr_Willis, ok, that sounds what i need, thanks | 01:01 |
| Dr_Willis | Guest74437: what even makes you think you are under 'attack' | 01:01 |
| cjae | no lvm heads in here? | 01:01 |
| Guest74437 | it is safe than sorry | 01:02 |
| Dr_Willis | solexious: start with 2. work your way up. | 01:02 |
| coleys | ikonia: Whats up :) | 01:02 |
| Dr_Willis | Guest74437: so you are just being paranoid - You have no real indication that anything is wrong? | 01:02 |
| ChrisR | run a firewall and it will show you all your connections, and password your root account and you should be fine Guest | 01:02 |
| Guest74437 | no i am not | 01:02 |
| nevyn | Guest74437: being paranoid is a vaulable survival instinct.. however you need to understand the risks and their probabilities. | 01:02 |
| ShadowAp3x | Guest74437: Firestarter is a good firewall | 01:02 |
| solexious | Dr_Willis, yep, starting with 2, its a triple sli motherboard so im just thinking of the future ;) | 01:03 |
| * Dr_Willis finds often things 'new users' try to do to make things more secure.. actually have the opposite effect. | 01:03 | |
| nevyn | don't password your root account if you wnat to be secure | 01:03 |
| ChrisR | That's what I used on the last distro is Firestarter worked great | 01:03 |
| Dr_Willis | solexious: you must have a large desk.. and i HOPE you got a big powersupply | 01:03 |
| nevyn | create an additional account without sudo access... and use this for day to day activities | 01:03 |
| Guest74437 | well i have read what yall have sent to me but i need to have a person to help me out | 01:03 |

| Guest74437 | i dont want a outher kiven mittnick trying to hack my os | 01:04 |
| Dr_Willis | Guest74437: help you out what what specifically? 'how to lock down a ubuntu box?' or somthing more specific? | 01:04 |
| Dr_Willis | Guest74437: dont run any services you dont need (thats the normal default) and you are fairly safe. | 01:04 |
| Dr_Willis | Guest74437: keep up to date on updates also. | 01:04 |
| LinuX2half | Guest74437: Hm, try to install LIDS | 01:04 |
| Dr_Willis | !info LIDS | 01:04 |

| solexious | Dr_Willis, ive got my server rack in the study so more noise wont bother me much :) and im getting a 850w "quad sli" powersupply, and its going to be pxe boot, so no hd power/noise | 01:05 |
| bazhang | Guest74437, reading the documentation first; then ask detailed questions. | 01:05 |
| Guest74437 | well i have read but i dont know what i am doing | 01:06 |
| === coleys__ is now known as rawr | ||
| Dr_Willis | Guest74437: then i would say leave the defaults alone. You are proberlya s safe as you are going to get. | 01:06 |

| ChrisR | this will be a fresh install of recommendation, I have 8.10 n then newest on cde | 01:09 |
| ShadowAp3x | ChrisR: All server components? | 01:09 |
| LinuX2half | Guest74437: how about kfsmd? | 01:09 |
| Guest74437 | but even hacker can hack into a linux os.I have read it | 01:09 |
| Dr_Willis | richardcavell: someone sneaking in to the house? :) | 01:09 |
| richardcavell | Dr_Willis: yeah | 01:09 |
| ChrisR | FTP isn't neccesary | 01:09 |
| elplatt | anyone know why the correct resolution wouldn't be listed in prefs? | 01:10 |
| ChrisR | Just needs to have the apps i mentioned and security inplace | 01:10 |
| Kveldulf | 8.04 | 01:10 |
| Dr_Willis | Guest74437: the hacker hacks in using some exploit of a service normally, or kernel exploit.. if theres no services.. theres no door to get in. | 01:10 |
| nevyn | Guest74437: if someone with enough resources want's in you're screwed | 01:10 |
| nevyn | Guest74437: this is true of all security | 01:10 |
| Dr_Willis | Guest74437: you as a 'uneducated user' are proberly more dangerous to the working of your system then any hackers finding your ip at random. | 01:10 |
| Guest74437 | so yes anything can be hack | 01:11 |
| Kai` | !setinfo <Dr_Willis> Guest74437: you as a 'uneducated user' are proberly more dangerous to the working of your system then any hackers finding your ip at random. | 01:11 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 01:11 |
| ShadowAp3x | ChrisR: What kind of security are you looking for in particular? | 01:11 |
| nevyn | Guest74437: If you are a definite target.. in that you have resources worth protecting.. measures should be taken... | 01:11 |
| DaZ | Guest74437: : on the pwn 2 own no one hacked laptop with ubuntu | 01:11 |
| elplatt | anyone here that can help me with my monitor configuration? | 01:11 |
| DaZ | maybe the prize wasn't wort it, but it doesn't change the fact ;f | 01:11 |
| ShadowAp3x | ChrisR: Is the server these applications are hosted on at a private location behind a firewall? | 01:12 |
| nevyn | however... the cost of taking those measures needs to be weighed against the potential loss and probability of being attacked | 01:12 |
| Dr_Willis | Guest74437: then with that logic - nothing you do will matter.. | 01:12 |
| richardcavell | DaZ: were there any services running on that laptop? | 01:12 |
| ChrisR | Basic security and protect root account with dependable firewall, and yes it's behind a cisco router | 01:12 |
| DiViN3 | anyone here can help me | 01:12 |
| tiPPy | hey guys :P | 01:12 |
| sebsebseb | DiViN3: with what? | 01:12 |
| sebsebseb | !details | DiViN3 | 01:12 |
| ubottu | DiViN3: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 01:12 |
| DaZ | richardcavell: default i think | 01:12 |
| Guest74437 | that is why i am asking if yall know what program will test out any and all thing that can be hack into | 01:12 |
| DiViN3 | sebsebseb : i am having a error msg in my server | 01:12 |
| richardcavell | DaZ: so no services running | 01:12 |
| ShadowAp3x | ChrisR: Are you unable to set up these applications yourself? | 01:13 |
| ChrisR | It's been so long since i've compiled packages bit rusty | 01:13 |
| * richardcavell has completed Half-Life and is now installing Half-Life: Blue Shift | 01:13 | |
| DaZ | what services do you have in mind? <: | 01:13 |
| nevyn | Guest74437: if a "hacker" as you keep refering to them.. actually wants in to your system.. it's all over.. the general strategy.. is to reduce your attack profile (don't provide services to the outside world.) | 01:13 |
| Dr_Willis | Guest74437: use a port scanner web site.. see if anything turns up. | 01:13 |
| sebsebseb | Guest74437: the proper term is cracker the media have it wrong, the bad guys are also known as blackhats, the security reashers are known as whitehats | 01:14 |
| Dr_Willis | are there any services installed by default on a ubuntu system? Ive never really checked. | 01:14 |
| richardcavell | Dr_Willis: I have ping enabled and nothing else. Is it such a bad thing to have ping running? | 01:14 |
| ChrisR | Is 9.04 more user friendly to do these things myself? | 01:14 |
| DiViN3 | sebsebseb : i have sent u a pm of the error | 01:14 |
| Dr_Willis | richardcavell: i doubt if its an issue. | 01:14 |
| ShadowAp3x | ChrisR: as long as you've got all the dependancies, it should be fairly straight forward | 01:14 |
| sebsebseb | Guest74437: a hacker could be for example an open source program, hack the code for a program, as in edit it | 01:14 |
| richardcavell | Ping the world... make it a better place... | 01:14 |
| DaZ | anyway, you're watching too much tv | 01:14 |
| ShadowAp3x | ChrisR: yeah | 01:14 |
| nevyn | Guest74437: and to make your system hard enough to get into that there are many easier targets and the cracker keeps looking | 01:14 |
| ShadowAp3x | ChrisR: Just sudo apt-get install build-essential | 01:14 |
| sebsebseb | DiViN3: I am not the person to help you with that | 01:14 |
| richardcavell | Dr_Willis: default install of Ubuntu has 0 services running on TCP/UDP | 01:14 |
| ShadowAp3x | ChrisR: That should give you everything you need to compile applications | 01:14 |
| th0r | Dr_Willis: no, by default there isn't anything running on the ports, except of course icmp | 01:14 |
| Guest74437 | will i want to become a whitehat hacker | 01:14 |
| richardcavell | for you and for me and the entire human race | 01:14 |
| Dr_Willis | richardcavell: i had ssh setup once to the outside world so my brother could ssh in.. the 'logwatch' program showed about 100,000 password attempts over 3 days. | 01:14 |
| elplatt | hello, anyone? | 01:15 |
| ChrisR | I will install n check it out n get back to you | 01:15 |
| nevyn | Guest74437: find 5k and do the ethical hacking course | 01:15 |
| ChrisR | Thank you | 01:15 |
| DaZ | Dr_Willis: how about trying different port? | 01:15 |
| ShadowAp3x | np | 01:15 |
| Dr_Willis | richardcavell: yea. thats what i was thinking 0. but i always set up samba and cups and ssh | 01:15 |
| th0r | Dr_Willis: I moved ssh off port 22 and those hack attempts dropped to zero | 01:15 |
| chanibal | hi, any idea how to install a cli (aka desktopless, just the command line) ubuntu via WUBI? | 01:15 |
| Guest74437 | can that be free | 01:15 |
| DiViN3 | sebsebseb : ok atleast can you help me with a thing , which is my server doesnt seem to reboot withthe command reboot & shutdown -r now | 01:15 |
| nevyn | Guest74437: but beware it's actually pretty boring | 01:15 |
| richardcavell | Dr_Willis: I set up ssh for about 24 hours so a guy here and I could experiment with it. I had 3 failed login attempts from random IPs | 01:15 |
| Dr_Willis | DaZ: that dident really lower it much. Once they saw a port.. they tried.. | 01:15 |
| WillieDaPimp | could some one tell me how to get my sound working...i updated last night and since my sound hasn't worked....i am getting a hissing noise though | 01:15 |
| nevyn | Guest74437: professional course pro rates. | 01:15 |
| DaZ | Dr_Willis: port knocking, banning after few attempts | 01:16 |
| Dr_Willis | changing the port is sort of like hiding your key under the flowerpot.. instead of the door mat. :P | 01:16 |
| gluonman | Firefox is receiving a SIGPIPE signal randomly during use. It causes it to freeze when running it with gdb, and it crashes when running it from terminal, leaving behind a Segmentation Fault message. I've posted the output from gdb here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/240344/ | 01:16 |
| ubuntu | chanibal, alternative install cd i think or server edition | 01:16 |
| DaZ | there are hundreds of solutions. | 01:16 |
| sebsebseb | DiViN3: nope | 01:16 |
| Dr_Willis | DaZ: yep. I just needed it on for a day or 2.. so now its off. :) i did find some neat info in the logwatch program | 01:16 |
| th0r | DaZ: did anyone ever implement port knocking? I found it an interesting idea, but couldn't find any implementations | 01:16 |
| Dr_Willis | !info logwatch | 01:16 |
| ubottu | logwatch (source: logwatch): log analyser with nice output written in Perl. In component main, is optional. Version 7.3.6.cvs20080702-2ubuntu1 (jaunty), package size 318 kB, installed size 2312 kB | 01:16 |
| DasEi | WillieDaPimp: is your card shown in alsamixer ? | 01:16 |
| DiViN3 | anyone here can help me with the problem - server cant seem to reboot at all | 01:16 |
| sebsebseb | Guest74437: open source proggrammer above | 01:17 |
| chanibal | ubuntu: ok, i'll check | 01:17 |
| chanibal | thanks | 01:17 |
| DasEi | DiViN3: you tried as root, nor ? | 01:17 |
| WillieDaPimp | DasEi: yes it shows and everything that needs to be unmuted is | 01:17 |
| richardcavell | Dr_Willis: I use firestarter because it gives me a log of recent activity and active connections. Is logwatch similar? | 01:17 |
| DaZ | th0r: yes | 01:17 |
| Guest74437 | well can you plese give me a site that i can read and do my self on witehat hacking for free i am some what self learning | 01:17 |
| DasEi | WillieDaPimp: check you syslog | 01:17 |
| Dr_Willis | richardcavell: lotwatch reads all your logs over the past few days and summariezes wht it finds in a nice output. | 01:17 |
| Dr_Willis | richardcavell: its fairly nifty. worth trying out if you are into that sort of info. | 01:18 |
| richardcavell | Dr_Willis: but it doesn't do it in real time? | 01:18 |
| WillieDaPimp | DasEi: im not sure how | 01:18 |
| richardcavell | I want a program that shows me from one moment to the next what TCP connections are active and who owns them | 01:18 |
| richardcavell | FireStarter does this, though it's not being actively maintained any more | 01:18 |
| Dr_Willis | richardcavell: no - its a log analizer | 01:18 |
| DasEi | WillieDaPimp:sudo apt-get install pastebinit | 01:18 |
| DiViN3 | DasEi : can you help me out plz | 01:19 |
| Dr_Willis | richardcavell: it more of a 'email you once a day the log summary to look for anything weird' sort of program | 01:19 |
| DasEi | WillieDaPimp:pastebinit /etc/var/syslog && gedit /var/log/syslog | 01:19 |
| DasEi | paste* | 01:19 |
| Guest74437 | ok some of yall or teling me that a linux os cannot be crack/hack | 01:19 |
| Dr_Willis | richardcavell: it even shows me how many times i used sudo, and apt-get :) | 01:19 |
| DasEi | DiViN3: sudo shutdown -r now | 01:19 |
| richardcavell | Well what software can I get that will do the job of Firestarter in telling me which connections are active and which ports they are on and so on | 01:19 |
| DasEi | DiViN3:or sudo reboot | 01:20 |
| blognewb | http://www.wired.com/politics/onlinerights/news/2007/08/wiki_tracker | 01:20 |
| DiViN3 | DasEi : i tried but its not working | 01:20 |
| unop | richardcavell, ntop might help you there | 01:20 |
| takamarou | Hi. I'm looking to do a dual boot of Ubuntu(Jaunty) and gOS. Is there anyways to switch between the two OS's without completely restarting my computer? I just want something quicker. | 01:20 |
| MidasManchu | DiViN3, sudo shutdown -r | 01:20 |
| DasEi | DiViN3:what message do you get ? | 01:20 |
| Dr_Willis | takamarou: if just testing out one.. why not just test it in virtualbox. | 01:21 |
| DiViN3 | DasEi : i have pm you the details | 01:21 |
| mazda01 | need some help please. I am trying to clone an existing desktop setup and move it to new hardware. I did a tar backup excluding proc, mnt, media, var/lib/mythtv, and sys. I untarred it onto the new drive and recreated all the folders I exluded but for some reason my / is being mounted read only because of errors. I can't see what the errors are because the screen goes so fast. also, darn fsck runs everytime I reboot. i fixed menu.lst and | 01:21 |
| Dr_Willis | takamarou: you could install the 'gos-desktop' stuff on a normal ubuntu install and pick what one to use from the GDM logn screen i recall also. | 01:21 |
| richardcavell | takamarou: what's gOS? | 01:21 |
| Dr_Willis | I dident find gOS worth messing wth :( | 01:21 |
| richardcavell | !gOS | 01:21 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about gOS | 01:21 |
| unop | richardcavell, gOS is an implementation of an LDAP system | 01:21 |
| Dr_Willis | gOS is an Enlightenment 17 flavoured variant of Ubuntu, | 01:22 |
| ShadowAp3x | mazda01: try using dd to clone your disk drive | 01:22 |
| ChrisR | Curious , last Ubuntu version i used was 8.4 and it had flash problems, are those resolved in 9.4? | 01:22 |
| DasEi | !pm | DiViN3 | 01:22 |
| ubottu | DiViN3: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. | 01:22 |
| gluonman | I need help figuring out a solution to my problem of Firefox randomly crashing from receiving SIGPIPE signals. My gdb output is here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/240344/ | 01:22 |
| unop | richardcavell, actually, i take that back, it was gosa i was talking about | 01:22 |
| takamarou | Dr_Willis, that will work for just trying it out, but there is no reason to even try it out if it is not worth an eventual dual boot | 01:22 |
| DasEi | WillieDaPimp:the url from the pastebin ? | 01:22 |
| ShadowAp3x | mazda01: just taring your folders and moving them will not work correctly | 01:22 |
| Lenin_Cat | how do you switch a image to RGB in gimp!? | 01:22 |
| DiViN3 | DasEi : well its been more then 4 hours but the server doesnt seem to reboot or restart | 01:22 |
| Dr_Willis | takamarou: to try things out.. I always try them in virtualbox.. much easier. | 01:23 |
| richardcavell | okay so gos is just an Ubuntu derivative distro of Linux? | 01:23 |
| bazhang | richardcavell, ubuntu-based and not supported here | 01:23 |
| Dr_Willis | takamarou: read its features.. see if it has anything you need i guess. | 01:23 |
| elplatt | can someone PLEASE help me with with a screen resolution issue? | 01:23 |
| richardcavell | bazhang: that's okay | 01:23 |
| DaZ | Lenin_Cat: isn't gimp rgb only? :f | 01:23 |
| Dr_Willis | richardcavell: basically.. not sure what else its done to differant itself over te last few months sinv ive last tried it. | 01:23 |
| ChrisR | Does 9.04 support duel monitors? | 01:23 |
| Dr_Willis | richardcavell: i see the web site http://www.thinkgos.com/index.html using lots of new buzzwords like cloud computing and stuff. :) | 01:24 |
| takamarou | Dr_Willis, I've read about it. It sounds like it'll be worth using. Anyways, you don't know of any way to quickly switch between to different OS's, unless in Virtual Box? | 01:24 |
| FIKUSZ | sziasztok | 01:24 |
| richardcavell | takamarou: there's no other way | 01:24 |
| nevyn | elplatt: screen support is quite tricky remotely but I'll see what I can do.. | 01:25 |
| Dr_Willis | takamarou: theres that xen/zen (??) stuff.. but virtualbox is the best way to test things out. | 01:25 |
| richardcavell | takamarou: you need to use virtualization software or else use two different computers | 01:25 |
| mazda01 | can anyone help me figure out why fsck is running upon every reboot? | 01:25 |
| DiViN3 | DasEi : well its been more then 4 hours but the server doesnt seem to reboot or restart | 01:25 |
| richardcavell | mazda01: you want to mount the partition as read-write, don't you? | 01:25 |
| elplatt | nevyn: i have a 1440x900 monitor, but that resolution doesn't show up in prefs (i'm running 8.04) | 01:25 |
| DasEi | !dualhead | ChrisR | 01:25 |
| ubottu | ChrisR: Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama | 01:25 |
| richardcavell | mazda01: if you mount it as read-only then fsck can't fix the filesystem | 01:25 |
| bazhang | !xrandr | ChrisR | 01:26 |
| ubottu | ChrisR: XRandR 1.2 is the new method of running dual screens in !X. Information/HowTo here: http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 | 01:26 |
| FIKUSZ | how to copy this folder : /usr/lib/lazaru/languager ? | 01:26 |
| mazda01 | richardcavell: yes. but first I am trying to figure out why fsck is running everytime I restart | 01:26 |
| ChrisR | ubottu ty | 01:26 |
| ubottu | You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) | 01:26 |
| nevyn | elplatt: what video card/driver are you using? | 01:26 |
| richardcavell | mazda01: well for one thing let it fix the partition | 01:26 |
| DasEi | DiViN3: maybe disabled fpr regular users ? login as root first : sudo -s | 01:26 |
| mazda01 | richardcavell: i understand that. I have run a live cd and run fsck on the drive. everything is fine fsck says | 01:26 |
| mdg | Hello! What's the easiest, fastest way to backup a user's home directory? | 01:26 |
| DasEi | DiViN3: reboot | 01:26 |
| DiViN3 | DasEi : i am logged in as root | 01:26 |
| solexious | Dr_Willis, Sorry to poke you again, are you able to ad top and bottom panels to your second screen? | 01:26 |
| mazda01 | richardcavell: it's not fixing anything | 01:26 |
| Dr_Willis | takamarou: i dont even see what about it makes it worth using. But i guess it depends on your needs.. ive been on a testing spree lately. its hard to make anything 'stand out' to me. | 01:27 |
| richardcavell | mazda01: well it won't if it can't write to the partition | 01:27 |
| Xodiac13 | i am using kubuntu and i need help with making sure i have 3d with my video card i went to the hardware devices and when i click on activate it wont do anything | 01:27 |
| Dr_Willis | solexious: alt-click on the panen and drag it.. also in the nvidia-settings tool you can select which one is the primary monitor. | 01:27 |
| FIKUSZ | thank | 01:27 |
| DiViN3 | DasEi : i am only recieving the message thats its going for reboot but its not rebotting | 01:27 |
| elplatt | Intel 82845G according to lspci | 01:27 |
| DasEi | DiViN3: what does ctrl-alt-delete ? | 01:28 |
| DiViN3 | DasEi : i am also getting a error message of invocke-rc.d | 01:28 |
| solexious | Dr_Willis, Sorry, to clarify, can you have them on both at the same time? | 01:28 |
| Xodiac13 | i had ubuntu 8.10 and now i am trying out kubuntu 8.10 should i upgrade to kubuntu 9.04 or stay with 8.10 and is ubuntu and kubuntu with the versions completley different | 01:28 |
| mdg | !backup | 01:28 |

| Dr_Willis | solexious: make a new panel for the 2nd monitor. | 01:28 |
| DiViN3 | DasEi : i am xsing the server via ssh so i dnt think so i can do a ctrl + alt + del | 01:28 |
| Dr_Willis | solexious: the panels dont 'steatch' across 2 monitors with twinview enabled. | 01:28 |
| mazda01 | richardcavell: like right now. I just rebooted to see if I got it working yet. I see at the top this message; ld_static: cannot open output file /lib/lodules/blah blah blah Reaad only file system. then below that, iTCO_wdt: failed to reset NO_REBOOT flag, reboot disabled by hardware and now it's sitting there running fsck on 5 drives again for like the umptenth time | 01:28 |
| Xodiac13 | help please | 01:29 |
| solexious | Dr_Willis, Thanks, just what i hoped for | 01:29 |
| DasEi | DiViN3: true | 01:29 |
| Dr_Willis | solexious: i keep a right side panel on the 2n monitor for launchers. :) | 01:29 |
| Dr_Willis | solexious: so i got 3 panels total | 01:29 |
| richardcavell | mazda01: and it does this before booting into your X-windows system? | 01:29 |
| Dr_Willis | solexious: i have seen a FEW apps tht get confused by the panels on the first monitor so if they fullscreen they dont fully maxamize if on the 2nd monitor.. they think thers a panel at the top | 01:30 |
| solexious | Dr_Willis, Thats what I had planned, but till its all arrives in the post I cant test any thing like that : | 01:30 |
| solexious | :)* | 01:30 |
| mazda01 | richardcavell: within fstab the / mount line has errors-remount-ro or something like that. how can I force it to mount read/write? Also, how do I get it to stop trying to run fsck? i ahve run fsck on all the drives with a live cd and they are fine | 01:30 |
| tiPPy | can you have Gui via ssh? | 01:30 |
| DasEi | DiViN3: so probably the sever side is locked up then, a deafult ssh would shutdown, if root is permitted | 01:30 |
| Xodiac13 | so what should i do anyone? | 01:30 |
| stealth- | I set up a sound blaster live card, and ubuntu recognizes it, however it continues using my on-board sound instead. Anyone know how to change what it uses? | 01:30 |
| elplatt | nevyn: any thoughts? | 01:30 |
| richardcavell | mazda01: mount it as rw | 01:30 |
| mazda01 | richardcavell: yes, I need to fix xorg. I am just trying to get to a gui so I can run nvidia-settings | 01:30 |
| DiViN3 | DasEi : so how do i get it to reboot and get my things fixed | 01:30 |
| Gos | hey any easy peasy moders here? | 01:30 |
| nevyn | elplatt: ok... | 01:30 |
| bazhang | Gos, what is easy peasy | 01:31 |
| janisoza1r | tiPPy: you can forward X | 01:31 |
| solexious | Dr_Willis, I plan on having panels on the bottom 2 screens and totally empty for the top 2 | 01:31 |
| === overclucker is now known as vrcluckrapplpin | ||
| mazda01 | richardcavell: I am merely booting up the system. should I change the fstab line? | 01:31 |
| DasEi | DiViN3: who admistrates the server btw where is it located ? | 01:31 |
| richardcavell | mazda01: yeah | 01:31 |
| stealth- | tiPPy: yes, you can use X11 forwarding. However, for a full desktop environment (such as gnome) its probably better to use VNC with encryption | 01:31 |
| Xodiac13 | is kubuntu better than ubuntu | 01:31 |
| Dr_Willis | solexious: you got a large desk.. and lots of neck pain in your future i predict.. | 01:31 |
| richardcavell | mazda01: let fsck write to the partition | 01:31 |
| coleys | Xodiac13: simple answer, no. | 01:31 |
| Dr_Willis | Xodiac13: use what you like.. kde or gnome.. | 01:31 |
| Gos | bazhang better known as eeeubuntu | 01:31 |
| nevyn | elplatt: that particular hardware has been getting lots of TLC in recent X development is there a reason you don't want to run 9.04? | 01:31 |
| richardcavell | mazda01: and in this case / is everything | 01:31 |
| DasEi | !better | Xodiac13 | 01:31 |
| ubottu | Xodiac13: 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. | 01:31 |
| richardcavell | it's the whole filesystem | 01:31 |
| sebsebseb | Xodiac13: in my opinion, KDE 3 and Ubuntu are about even, but that KDE 4 thing I am not a fan, except for how apps have got better, but I can run in Gnome anyway so :) | 01:31 |
| Gos | !eashypeasy | 01:32 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about eashypeasy | 01:32 |
| elplatt | actually i tried 9.04 first and it had the same problem | 01:32 |
| Gos | !easypeasy | 01:32 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about easypeasy | 01:32 |
| mazda01 | richardcavell: what do you mean, let fsck write to the partition? | 01:32 |
| Gos | !easy peasy | 01:32 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about easy peasy | 01:32 |
| solexious | Dr_Willis, Its a long one, and you may be right about the neck pain :s | 01:32 |
| richardcavell | nevyn: are you referring to the Intel GMA950? | 01:32 |
| bazhang | Gos, is that an official Ubuntu release? or the one with Adam's kernel | 01:32 |
| nevyn | richardcavell: yeah | 01:32 |
| Gos | !help | 01:32 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 01:32 |
| richardcavell | mazda01: I'm saying let it write to the partition | 01:32 |
| richardcavell | nevyn: I'm on a GMA 950 and I'm using Karmic. It's way way way better than Jaunty | 01:32 |
| sebsebseb | Xodiac13: I should have said Gnome not Ubuntu above | 01:32 |
| ubuntu | how do i run a 64 bit guest in a 32 bit host in virtualbox, i read that was possible | 01:32 |
| Xodiac13 | Dr_Willis: i had ubuntu 8.10 and now using kubuntu 8.10 for some odd reason i cant activate the hardware drivers for my radeon x200 and ubuntu 8.10 had no problem doing that what should i do i like kubuntu i just need help on getting it to install my video drivers | 01:32 |
| DasEi | Xodiac13: the core is same , ubu/kubu, just different surfaces | 01:32 |
| bazhang | Gos, please /msg ubottu | 01:32 |
| Xodiac13 | sebsebseb: its all good | 01:32 |
| sebsebseb | ubuntu: probably better to ask in #vbox | 01:33 |
| Gos | bazhang will do | 01:33 |
| sebsebseb | Xodiac13: KDE 4 as a GUI no thanks | 01:33 |
| elplatt | richardcavell: which number is karmic? | 01:33 |
| nevyn | richardcavell: right.. but elplatt is trying to use an intel g45 with 8.04 | 01:33 |
| SuspectZero | hey there. i have a program thts not responding. i closed it with ctrl+alt+escape. but ksysguard still shows it. i tried killing the pid but still nothing. any suggestions? | 01:33 |
| Xodiac13 | sebsebseb? so you dont like guis | 01:33 |
| richardcavell | elplatt: 9.10 | 01:33 |
| nevyn | elplatt: 9.10pre... | 01:33 |
| bazhang | elplatt, 9.10 #ubuntu+1 for discussion | 01:33 |
| Dr_Willis | Xodiac13: ubuntu and kubuntu use the same drivers.. ATI has been goofing with their fglrx drivers lately. (i rid my self of all my ati machines so cant help more then that) | 01:33 |
| mazda01 | richardcavell: i don't know what you're saying. I am booting up ubuntu, the / is being mounted read only because of unknown errors, then fsck runs and shows everything is ok. what are you suggesting I do. I also can't get into a darn X session. despite me running sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 01:33 |
| DasEi | SuspectZero: which app ? | 01:33 |
| richardcavell | elplatt: Karmic is an order of magnitude better with my Intel GMA 945 than any previous Ubuntu | 01:34 |
| SuspectZero | DasEi, k3b | 01:34 |
| sebsebseb | Xodiac13: I don't like KDE 4 as a GUI! Gnome and KDE 3 though :) oh and I have tried window managers, OpenBox, and Fluxbox, and what not, but I would go back to Gnome or KDE | 01:34 |
| sebsebseb | Xodiac13: XFCE is alright | 01:34 |
| ChrisR | OK Next Question, Does Ubuntu 9.04 Support 4gigs of DDR Ram n Quad Processors? | 01:34 |
| Dr_Willis | Xodiac13: you can install kubuntu-desktop on ubuntu, and ubuntu-desktop on kubuntu - and just pick what desktp to use from the login screen. | 01:34 |
| richardcavell | mazda01: If fsck can't modify the disk then it will run every time | 01:34 |
| nevyn | sebsebseb: don't respond to in channel polls | 01:34 |
| elplatt | nevyn: i'm happy to try a different version | 01:34 |
| DasEi | SuspectZero: try sudo killall k3b , to kill child-processes, too | 01:34 |
| DiViN3 | DasEi :well i bought this dedi from shellservers.org so i have no idea where the IDC is | 01:34 |
| richardcavell | mazda01: mount it as rw | 01:34 |
| SuspectZero | DasEi, ksysguard is still showing it | 01:34 |
| richardcavell | mazda01: change the /etc/fstab line - replace that bit with rw | 01:34 |
| ubuntu | sebsebseb, thanks | 01:34 |
| TwoToneSpirit | Is there a way to be alerted when a user SSH's in? | 01:34 |
| Xodiac13 | Dr_Willis: all i did was install kubuntu 8.10 thinking it would install my video driver the one think im confused is that it wont install in kubuntu but it does in ubuntu | 01:34 |
| nevyn | elplatt: get the current release jaunty 9,04 and things may be better.. | 01:34 |
| sebsebseb | !kde3 > Xodiac13 | 01:34 |
| ubottu | Xodiac13, please see my private message | 01:34 |
| elplatt | nevyn: my frustration is that it seems like it either works automatically or it doesn't work at all | 01:35 |
| sebsebseb | Xodiac13: and there's a repo you can get for it | 01:35 |
| mazda01 | richardcavell: what do you suggest I do to get the darn / disk mounted as read write? do you have a fstab line that I could look at? | 01:35 |
| DasEi | SuspectZero: top also showing it ? | 01:35 |
| elplatt | nevyn: already tried 9.04, same problem | 01:35 |
| nevyn | elplatt: you can do some things like try running xrandr from a terminal.. and see what shows up | 01:35 |
| sebsebseb | ubuntu: for what? | 01:35 |
| DiViN3 | DasEi : well atleast can you list me a site where i can setup my DNS setting with my Rdns working with tutorial | 01:35 |
| === tonsofpc1 is now known as tonsofpcs | ||
| jonesy | lo | 01:35 |
| Xodiac13 | sebsebseb: so im screwed on getting my video card like i did with ubuntu 8.10 | 01:35 |
| jonesy | any one there | 01:36 |
| Xodiac13 | sebsebseb: i mean it worked fine in ubuntu 8.10 | 01:36 |
| Dr_Willis | Xodiac13: the 2 use the exact same core/drivers under neeth. it shouldent matter. | 01:36 |
| SuspectZero | DasEi, yep | 01:36 |
| richardcavell | mazda01: replace the errors=remount-ro bit on the / line with rw | 01:36 |
| DasEi | DiViN3: you want to do dynamic dns ? | 01:36 |
| elplatt | nevyn: same resolutions as in the display prefs gui | 01:36 |
| bazhang | jonesy, yes | 01:36 |
| mazda01 | richardcavell: ok, will try | 01:36 |
| nevyn | elplatt: how old is the hardware? | 01:36 |
| sebsebseb | Xodiac13: which type of graphics card? | 01:36 |
| DiViN3 | DasEi : m getting this error when i restart my bind9 : rndc: connection to remote host closed | 01:36 |
| Xodiac13 | sebsebseb: it just wont work in kubuntu when i try to activate it it really doesnt do anything and it keeps saying that the driver is not activated so then i keep trying to activate it | 01:36 |
| mazda01 | richardcavell: thanks. I didn't think it would be this hard to move an install to another computer but I guess it is. | 01:36 |
| richardcavell | Hey, whoever was telling me to use ntop, how do I use it? I type 'ntop' at the Terminal and just get a bunch oferrors | 01:36 |
| Dr_Willis | Xodiac13: you may want to upgrade to the latest ubuntu.. but that may not support your card with the fglrx drivers at all. So its a catch-22 situation i guess | 01:36 |
| elplatt | nevyn: few years, not sure exactly | 01:36 |
| richardcavell | mazda01: Oh God don't try to do that | 01:37 |
| Xodiac13 | sebsebseb: its a radeon x200 worked awesome in ubuntu 8.10 | 01:37 |
| sebsebseb | Xodiac13: sounds like something from ATI? | 01:37 |
| DiViN3 | DasEi : now the thing is my hostname is not recolveing | 01:37 |
| DiViN3 | DasEi : now the thing is my hostname is not resolving* | 01:37 |
| nevyn | elplatt: have you checked for a bios update? | 01:37 |
| Xodiac13 | sebsebseb: so im going to have to go back to ubuntu 8.10 then | 01:37 |
| mazda01 | richardcavell: i wasn't about to reinstall all my apps, my mysql server, my mythtv install and all my customizations! | 01:37 |
| sebsebseb | Xodiac13: is it ATI? | 01:37 |
| jonesy_ | still cant set my screen to 1280X1024 any one got any iders? | 01:37 |
| Xodiac13 | sebsebseb: yeah | 01:37 |
| richardcavell | mazda01: probably easier than what you're trying to do! | 01:38 |
| sebsebseb | Xodiac13: sure go back to 8.10, it's the better release really in many ways, when comparing to 9.04, 9.10 should be quite a bit better though :) | 01:38 |
| DasEi | DiViN3: if you rent a dedi-server, they should have done that for you | 01:38 |
| Xodiac13 | sebsebseb: i want to try out 9.04 but it doesnt support my video card | 01:38 |
| SuspectZero | DasEi, screw it, i'll just restart . thanks for the help though. it seems everytime im here ur always helping me :D join #remote-exploit sometime and i'll help you :P | 01:38 |
| mazda01 | richardcavell: ok, should it just be relatime,rw | 01:38 |
| sebsebseb | !ati | Xodiac13 | 01:38 |
| ubottu | Xodiac13: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 01:38 |
| elplatt | nevyn: nope, how would that help? | 01:38 |
| sebsebseb | Xodiac13: not much to try out in 9.04, to be hoenst | 01:38 |
| sebsebseb | honest | 01:38 |
| Dr_Willis | Xodiac13: if you accidently upgraded to 9.04 that might of broke the ati d5rivers. | 01:38 |
| richardcavell | mazda01: okay. | 01:38 |
| Xodiac13 | sebsebseb: o okay | 01:38 |
| DiViN3 | DasEi :well the thing is its only done when i get the managed service, but since i didnt i have to do it on my own | 01:38 |
| sebsebseb | Xodiac13: also if you virtual machine it with 8.10 as host, that should get round your graphids card issue, because then it can use the host | 01:39 |
| Xodiac13 | Dr_Willis: i didnt it keeps asking me lol | 01:39 |
| nevyn | elplatt: there's a table in the videocard of supported resolutions | 01:39 |
| mechtech | sebsebseb: I never heard of Matrox video cards before...they any good? | 01:39 |
| nevyn | well it's in the main system bios ... etc... bleh | 01:39 |
| sebsebseb | mechtech: I don't know | 01:39 |
| DiViN3 | DasEi :so any idea where or how i can get to fix that dns issue | 01:39 |
| Line | how can i run a command through ssh that wont terminate when i close my ssh session? | 01:39 |
| nevyn | mechtech: I loved my G400 | 01:39 |
| DasEi | DiViN3:see, and it has no static ip ? | 01:39 |
| elplatt | nevyn: i'll look into it, although when i got it, it had xp and the screen worked fine | 01:40 |
| nevyn | mechtech: they're workstation cards.. they got out of the consumer space a few years ago | 01:40 |
| edbian | Line: add a "&" to run a command "in the background" | 01:40 |
| Xodiac13 | Dr_Willis: i am going to have to install ubuntu 8.10 then thank you i appreciate the help | 01:40 |
| Dr_Willis | Xodiac13: you could install ubuntu, then install the kubuntu-desktop package if you wanted... i gave away my ati based laptop. so thats about all i know on the topic. :) good luck | 01:40 |
| mechtech | nevyn: Matrox G400? | 01:40 |
| sebsebseb | Xodiac13: I read something about better support in 9.10 for these problem Intel graphics cards, so maybe other types as well | 01:40 |
| nevyn | mechtech: yeah | 01:40 |
| nevyn | but that was ages ago.. | 01:40 |
| DiViN3 | DasEi :i have 128 ips in it | 01:40 |
| sebsebseb | Xodiac13: 9.10 isn't out yet though of course | 01:40 |
| sebsebseb | Xodiac13: as a final | 01:40 |
| DasEi | Line: set up a script on remote machine, run it, log out | 01:40 |
| Xodiac13 | Dr_Willis: okay thank you | 01:40 |
| Dr_Willis | I finally got my intel cards working good. :) just had to use a PPA repo to upgrade things | 01:40 |
| Joelito | hi all, question about emesene: I deleted contacts from my hotmail account and they still can send me IMs..how can I fix this? | 01:40 |
| Line | edbian thank you i will try it | 01:40 |
| Xodiac13 | sebsebseb: is 9.10 going to support all raedon video cards | 01:40 |
| linuxguy2009 | Ok I want to use the great reliable ext3 file system on my flashdrive and external hard drive. I dont want to keep having to do "gksudo nautilus" every time i want to access files or chamnge permissions constantly. I read that some guy adds users names to the "users" group and then simply sets all ownership of the drive to "users group". Is there any groups by default that represent "every user has permission to use that drive? Example | 01:40 |
| sebsebseb | Xodiac13: not sure | 01:40 |
| edbian | Line: NP! You can test it out in a standard terminal | 01:41 |
| Xodiac13 | sebsebseb: okay thank you have a good one | 01:41 |
| DasEi | DiViN3:so take one and register it at dymdns.org with a name you want | 01:41 |
| Xodiac13 | sebsebseb: going back to ubuntu | 01:41 |
| sebsebseb | Xodiac13: hang on | 01:41 |
| DasEi | dyndns* , DiViN3 | 01:41 |
| Xodiac13 | sebsebseb: okay | 01:41 |
| mazda01 | richardcavell: what's that option when running dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg? is it like --phigh or something like that? also, X did finally show up but I only have 256 RAM so I am guessing that's holding me back trying to use gnome. my top panel isn't filling in with Apps or Places or System and the stuff in the right side of the uppper panel isn't there either. any thoughts? | 01:41 |
| sebsebseb | Xodiac13: did you understand what I was saying about virtual machine? and how much RAM do you have? | 01:41 |
| lsu | qt | 01:41 |
| Dr_Willis | linuxguy2009: set the modes to 777 on the stuff.. then anyone can access them all.. but thats not a good fix.. your groups method may be a better way. | 01:41 |
| jonesy_ | any one know how to set my desktop to 1280x1024 coz it want let me :( | 01:41 |
| Xodiac13 | sebsebseb: i have 1 gig | 01:41 |
| sebsebseb | Xodiac13: yeah that's enough for vm's. so you say KDE 4 is the problem in 9.04? | 01:42 |
| Xodiac13 | sebsebseb: with 2.66ghz processor duo core | 01:42 |
| sebsebseb | Xodiac13: it won't do your graphids card? | 01:42 |
| DiViN3 | DasEi : well i setup my own name server n pointed it already, it was working but after i did apt-get upgrade , all went crazy | 01:42 |
| nevyn | mazda01: -plow will give you all questions | 01:42 |
| Xodiac13 | sebsebseb: i have kubuntu 8.10 installed it should support my video card but it doesnt | 01:42 |
| sebsebseb | !kde3 > Xodiac13 | 01:42 |
| ubottu | Xodiac13, please see my private message | 01:42 |
| Dr_Willis | linuxguy2009: ive learned to set the uid's on all my users on the various linux box's i use identically. so my file ownership/s dont change when i move my flash drives from one to another. | 01:42 |
| richardcavell | mazda01: I don't think I can add anything. If you're trying to migrate it to new hardware you're going to have a headache. | 01:42 |
| linuxguy2009 | Dr_Willis: Ok cool. BTW what are the numbers I keep seeing mean for permissions? that 777 666 etc. Are they group or user numbers? | 01:42 |
| sebsebseb | Xodiac13: so your going back to 8.04? | 01:43 |
| Dr_Willis | linuxguy2009: those are file permisions.. neither one. :) chown for owner.. chmod for modes. | 01:43 |
| mazda01 | nevyn: --plow? really? I thought it was something with phigh. | 01:43 |
| Xodiac13 | sebsebseb: i have to go back to ubuntu 8.10 because my video card actually worked with 3d and all | 01:43 |
| linuxguy2009 | oh ok | 01:43 |
| Dr_Willis | linuxguy2009: theres guides and docs and examples of what all those mean. | 01:43 |
| DiViN3 | DasEi : is there any command to restore the whole server back to an earlier time | 01:43 |
| Dr_Willis | linuxguy2009: really somthing worth reading up on. I rarely use the groups feature. | 01:43 |
| Hack-ed | hey | 01:43 |
| Gos | hey | 01:44 |
| nevyn | mazda01: -phigh and -plow control which questions are presented to you | 01:44 |
| sebsebseb | Xodiac13: ok or you could try other distros | 01:44 |
| mazda01 | nevyn: ok, thanks | 01:44 |
| nevyn | -phigh only shows the high priority questions | 01:44 |
| linuxguy2009 | Dr_Willis: Right on brotha! Thank you that gives me somethimg new to google and learn. Later! | 01:44 |
| Hack-ed | O:-) | 01:44 |
| Gos | :P | 01:44 |
| DasEi | DiViN3:that won't work, and they didn't tell you how to restart ? | 01:44 |
| Dr_Willis | linuxguy2009: i saw a little google desktop gadget that lets you click on a thing and it shows the ### permisions :) | 01:44 |
| nevyn | linuxguy2009: additionally checkout umask and default umask | 01:44 |
| Xodiac13 | sebsebseb: i have been trying to see if opensuse supports my video card but i tried looking in forums and i cant find it so if it works with my video card then i will try that out | 01:44 |
| bobwhoops | I want to do a full disk backup from the live cd, including MBR. Would dd if=/dev/sda of=/mnt/whatever do that? | 01:45 |
| sebsebseb | Xodiac13: no I woudn't recommend going to opensuse. How experienced are you with Linux? | 01:45 |
| Xodiac13 | sebsebseb: im a complete linux NOOB | 01:45 |
| Dr_Willis | Xodiac13: the thing to remeber is that its ATI that has done changes to their FGLRX drivers.. its possible that card is one they removed from the newer FGLRX drivers.. if so . then most all new disrtos will use the ATI drivber for that card. | 01:45 |
| Line | edbian i tried the & before the comma d and i got bash: unexpected character '&ā | 01:45 |
| DasEi | bobwhoops: yes, but the /mnt/whatever has to be big enough, own sized party will be best | 01:45 |
| mordocai | Hello, i am using transmission bittorrent client to download debian and archlinux, and my download speed is fine, but i have a constant 0.0 kb/s upload. I've opened the port on my router, checked preferences and clicked enabled port forwarding, and preferences even says the port is open... but still no uploading. I don't like just downloading without "giving back"... anyone know of anything to check? | 01:46 |
| DiViN3 | DasEi : as i said earlier , it was like working fine all the way until i apt-get upgrade , n the server was reboot at that point of time to take effect but after that this problem started | 01:46 |
| bobwhoops | DasEi: Can it be just a regular file on an external hard drive? | 01:46 |
| edbian | Line | 01:46 |
| Xodiac13 | sebsebseb: so what should i do because i see my only option is to go to ubuntu 8.10 | 01:46 |
| edbian | Line: A "&" at the end of the command | 01:46 |
| sebsebseb | Xodiac13: yeah it's not if Ubuntu will support all ATI cards, it's really if ATI will support all ATI cards on Linux distros, which I belive is what Dr_Willis was also basically saying | 01:47 |
| edbian | Line: "sudo compiz --replace&" | 01:47 |
| mechtech | mordocai: seems like you've got the bases covered...maybe there isn't anyone trying to download that right now however unlikely that may seem | 01:47 |
| DasEi | DiViN3:so you had one reboot least; sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a is another manner to fork it all again | 01:47 |
| Xodiac13 | sebsebseb: o okay cool cool well ubuntu 8.10 it is | 01:47 |
| sebsebseb | Xodiac13: yeah 8.10 or 8.0.3 the long term support, or other distros, such as Mandriva, since your new to Linux | 01:47 |
| Lancearate | I'm having difficulty with an intermittent hard crash in Ubuntu-9.04 AMD64 when attempting large file operations like backing up to a portable drive (every few minutes), or very intermittently (once or twice weekly) with regular use. Upon hard crash, the machine no longer accepts any incoming ssh connections or responds to existing ssh connections, and (as far as I know) the logs found in /var/log don't contain anything out of | 01:47 |
| Xodiac13 | sebsebseb: i tried looking at that too mandriva i dont know if it supports my video card | 01:47 |
| DasEi | bobwhoops: regular partiton, as this will behave like a big iso | 01:47 |
| sebsebseb | Xodiac13: or PC Linux OS, which I belive is coming out with the 2009 version in August :) | 01:48 |
| mordocai | mechtech: Possible i suppose, i looked around for a software firewall on ubuntu... didn't see anything i could open software wise. The arch download has 95 peers, the debian only 7 | 01:48 |
| sebsebseb | Xodiac13: that's the idea of Live CD's for distros | 01:48 |
| sebsebseb | Xodiac13: boot up and try your hardware, without installing anything, unless you want to | 01:48 |
| Xodiac13 | sebsebseb: i remeber trying out mandriva and i had a x1200 and that somehow had 3d support | 01:48 |
| mechtech | mordocai: at command prompt run: ufw status | 01:48 |
| wet | how can i change or modify JVM options on ubuntu? | 01:48 |
| bobwhoops | DasEi: it has to be a partition, it can't be a file? | 01:48 |
| Xodiac13 | sebsebseb: so would it be better if i go to ubuntu 8.04 | 01:48 |
| DiViN3 | DasEi : i am recieving error : invoke-rc.d: WARNING: invoke-rc.d called during shutdown sequence | 01:48 |
| WindowsUser | Lancearate: what are you using to back up | 01:49 |
| Xodiac13 | sebsebseb: does it support my video card | 01:49 |
| mechtech | mordocai: that will show you whether uncomplicated firewall is enabled or disabled | 01:49 |
| mordocai | mechtech: Inactive | 01:49 |
| Xodiac13 | sebsebseb: i remeber looking at the ubuntu forums and 8.10 supported my video card | 01:49 |
| sebsebseb | Xodiac13: if 8.10 does I expect 8.04.3 does, since I think it still has the older version of xorg | 01:49 |
| mechtech | mordocai: no other firewall? | 01:49 |
| Lancearate | WindowsUser: samba, nautilus, copy+paste to directory on windows vista machine | 01:49 |
| mordocai | mechtech: Hmm... i do have some in my peer list who say they are incoming connections... so i guess they are getting here. And yeah, no other firewall that i know of. | 01:49 |
| Xodiac13 | sebsebseb: is that a good thing or bad older version of xorg and i cant choose i need help on that should i use 8.10 or 8.04 | 01:50 |
| rww | sebsebseb, Xodiac13: versions of Ubuntu before 9.04 use the older version of xorg, and aren't getting upgraded to the newer one. | 01:50 |

| jtrops | My mother in-law updated her Ubuntu laptop, and now Gnome won't load. It was set up to auto login and load the desktop, and now she is getting the login screen. When she logs in it doesn't do anything. Any ideas? | 01:50 |
| rww | Xodiac13: the older version of fglrx that (I presume) you want requires the older version of xorg in 8.10 or older. | 01:50 |
| mordocai | mechtech: Oh yeah, just looked through the list... looks like everyone is a seeder lol | 01:50 |
| sebsebseb | Xodiac13: 8.10 is a nice release, thing is it stops being supported next April | 01:50 |
| Xodiac13 | rww: o okay so ether or im good with 8.04 or 8.10 lol sorry im trying to make sure my video card will work | 01:50 |
| === ox is now known as helper | ||
| sebsebseb | Xodiac13: I think it's next April anyway for the desktop | 01:50 |
| DasEi | DiViN3:answered your pm | 01:50 |
| mechtech | mordocai: also, transmission is set to use a random port every time it starts, so to use port forwarding effectively, you either need to have the software use the UPnP ability, or set the port within the software yourself...I recommend anything above 10000 | 01:51 |
| Xodiac13 | sebsebseb: so go with 8.04 because it will be supported for a long time | 01:51 |
| sebsebseb | Xodiac13: go for 8.10, then if your up for it you can do a clean install of 9.10 when it's out, quicker than upgrading through 9.04, plus then if you do guided install (or choose when setting partiitons up yourself) you get full Ext4 by default :) totally worth people clean installing Ubuntu when 9.10 is out, for the default Extr4, with much faster boot up time | 01:52 |
| mordocai | mechtech: Okay, thanks. I think it just may be no one is downloading. Though i'm going to double check the port forwarding. | 01:52 |
| mechtech | sebsebseb: i thought ext4 was still kinda experimental | 01:53 |
| mechtech | mordocai: I would | 01:53 |
| sebsebseb | mechtech: well yeah kind of experimental in 9.04 I guess, Fedora 11 uses by default, but it also has a later kernel, and Ubuntu 9.10 will have Ext4 by default with of course later kernel :) | 01:53 |
| Xodiac13 | sebsebseb: okay and when i install 8.10 what type of partition should i use for fast boot-up and performance because im a gamer | 01:53 |
| richardcavell | Guys I want some software that shows a window on my computer listing all active TCP/UDP connections. I want it to run in real time and to display in X11, not in a terminal. Firestarter has something similar. Is there any package similar to that? | 01:53 |
| rww | Xodiac13: ext3. 8.10's kernel doesn't support ext4. | 01:54 |
| sebsebseb | Xodiac13: Ext4 is not an option in 8.10, so you do Ext3 | 01:54 |
| Line | edbian that only showed a pid or something i stillRise get syntax errorr323 unexpected symbol &, i am using an ssh program via my iphone | 01:54 |
| mechtech | sebsebseb: :) | 01:54 |
| Xodiac13 | sebsebseb: sorry i dont mean to keep asking but isnt ext2 faster than ext3 or is ext3 faster | 01:54 |
| Line | edbianan sorry for the errorsr | 01:54 |
| edbian | Line: Show me the command you typed | 01:54 |
| sebsebseb | Xodiac13: if you do 9.10 when released and can't get your card working there, well then you can obviosuly put 8.04 on | 01:55 |
| edbian | Line: You are ssh'd into an ubuntu box using bash script correcT? | 01:55 |
| sebsebseb | !ext3 | Xodiac13 | 01:55 |
| ubottu | Xodiac13: ext3 is the default filesystem on Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org | 01:55 |

| mazda01 | richardcavell: i gave up. just going to do a fresh install and start over. I am going to export my mysql database and my home directory. just have to reinstall all apps and copy over the etc config files. I was able to take a hard drive and put it in another machine once, but I was trying to move an install from one hard drive to another. oh well. | 01:56 |
| sebsebseb | Xodiac13: ok no probs | 01:56 |
| richardcavell | mazda01: good idea | 01:56 |
| sebsebseb | Xodiac13: if you do a guided install | 01:56 |
| Line | edbian i dont think so | 01:56 |
| sebsebseb | Xodiac13: hold on a sec | 01:56 |
| Xodiac13 | sebsebseb: have a good one and thanks again i appreciate it | 01:56 |
| Xodiac13 | sebsebseb: okay | 01:56 |
| edbian | Line: You don't think so about what? | 01:56 |
| sebsebseb | Xodiac13: if you do a guided install then you get everything in / and it does swap for you | 01:56 |
| jtrops | Does anyone have any idea why an update would cause 8.10 to stop auto login, and fail to load Gnome on login? | 01:57 |
| mazda01 | richardcavell: partimage or similar shoudl work though. I just tried the tar route and found it to be too hard to get it working again. | 01:57 |
| sebsebseb | Xodiac13: having a seperate home can be useful though, if you set up the partitions yourself you can do that. | 01:57 |
| richardcavell | th0r: I just want it to say "http port 80 firefox 3kbytes/sec" or something like that | 01:57 |
| Xodiac13 | sebsebseb: yeah ive been doing that its easier | 01:57 |
| Line | edbian its just connecting to my openssh service | 01:57 |
| richardcavell | mazda01: yep. I use clonezilla | 01:57 |
| sebsebseb | Xodiac13: ok well clean install then :) | 01:57 |
| Xodiac13 | sebsebseb: other distros i tried i would have enough for the OS and then swap and then home like you said | 01:57 |
| edbian | Line: Show me the command you're trying to issue? | 01:57 |
| danbhfive | if my computer doesn't go to sleep for awhile, is there a way to figure out why? (it seems to happen when firefox is open, but I would like to check if I can) | 01:57 |
| sebsebseb | Xodiac13: ah ha you have been doing seperate home? | 01:58 |
| Xodiac13 | sebsebseb: i will thank you have a good one | 01:58 |
| mazda01 | richardcavell: i'll have to test that out. is it free? | 01:58 |
| richardcavell | mazda01: yep | 01:58 |
| richardcavell | mazda01: go to clonezilla's website and download the live CD | 01:58 |
| mazda01 | richardcavell: do you run it from a livecd? | 01:58 |
| Xodiac13 | sebsebseb: well i mean i seperate it with three partitions one for OS, swap, and where i have my programs | 01:58 |
| sebsebseb | Xodiac13: ok | 01:58 |
| richardcavell | mazda01: it's really powerful. Boot into live CD and you can go from disk/partition/image to disk/partition/image | 01:58 |
| Line | edbian & /home/user/Desktop/squeezeslave -m 00:00:00:00:00:00 -r10 | 01:59 |
| Xodiac13 | sebsebseb: but i havent done that in a while i just do the option where it does it for me where it creates a swap for me | 01:59 |
| edbian | Line: The "&" goes at the end | 01:59 |
| edbian | Line: That command has no program! Just arguments | 01:59 |
| sebsebseb | Xodiac13: yeah go for that, and you can try 9.10 when it's released as well, which means you should clean install, as I already explained | 01:59 |
| edbian | Line: Unless you have a program named "edbian" :{ | 01:59 |
| Line | edvian D'oh thanks! | 01:59 |
| th0r | richardcavell: I think there is a menu optino that will do that' | 01:59 |

| Lancearate | (reposted) I'm having difficulty with an intermittent hard crash in Ubuntu-9.04 AMD64 when attempting large file operations like backing up to a portable drive (every few minutes), or very intermittently (once or twice weekly) with regular use. Upon hard crash, the machine no longer accepts any incoming ssh connections or responds to existing ssh connections, and (as far as I know) the logs found in /var/log don't contain anyth | 02:01 |

| jtrops | jonesy: what graphics card do you have? My Nvidia card has a settings utility in the system tools that lets me adjust it. | 02:01 |
| jonesy_ | ati | 02:02 |
| jonesy_ | maybe i should bin it | 02:02 |
| th0r | richardcavell: haven' | 02:02 |
| th0r | richardcavell: haven't used it much but if I remember right there is a protocol display that will show you http, dhcp, icmp, etc in real time | 02:02 |
| Fishscene | Lancearate: I had a problem like that once.. Drove me crazy. 2 years later, I found it was a bad capacitor next to my CPU on the motherboard. | 02:02 |
| jonesy_ | really its done my head in so much | 02:02 |
| Lancearate | Fishscene: D: how do you even test for that kind of thing | 02:02 |
| jtrops | If I remember right when I had an ATI driver I had to make my settings in the xorg.conf file. | 02:03 |
| Fishscene | Lancearate: I was unable to devise a test to find the problem, so I purchased a new PC and enver had problems. But 2 years after I did that, I examined my old mobo and found a capacitor had leaked jumk all over my mobo. I know I'm not offering much help, but intermittent hardware problems are VERY hard to diagnose. You can try pulling/swapping expansion cards. Pull the ones you don't need first, then swap out the other ones (like the video card | 02:04 |
| richardcavell | th0r: I'm running it now. I don't think it's what I want | 02:04 |
| richardcavell | What I want is like it has in Firestarter. Just a text window with all active connections | 02:04 |

| jonesy_ | can any one take a look at this xorg.conf thingy | 02:11 |

| mazda01 | richardcavell: they aren't external. they are internal drives that already ahve tons of movies and music on them. i just want the installer to create the mount points so that they get added to fstab right off the batt. i've done this in the past but I think I always end up chowning the folders and changing the permissions anyway. I just couldn't remeber what they get created by for user:group and whatnot. | 02:12 |
| richardcavell | jefinc: clonezilla | 02:12 |
| mdmarmer | i think there is #copyright and #law -- i'll see if anyone is there | 02:12 |

| dewman | shindow, the bot wont talk back to you..... =) | 02:29 |
| brEz | I'm new to vmware and I only use the player - so there is no support. | 02:29 |
| bazhang | brEz, install vmware, get the iso, run it | 02:29 |
| triplc | mdg: No, not vim forum. In fact, I think it's not because of vim, but because of some hidden changes of distro. (question re-asked) | 02:29 |
| iceroot | brEz: download the iso, install with vmware, use it | 02:29 |
| brEz | I have the actual CD. | 02:29 |
| mdg | bazhang: so jonesy_ should use radeon oss driver? | 02:29 |
| sebsebseb | brEz: I would recommend Virtualbox, and it can even use vmdk files | 02:29 |
| triplc | Hello all. How to enable "vim:set ts=4"? I used to set small things like tabstops, syntax... embeded in text file. However, when I started using Jaunty, those "vim:set ts=4" no longer work. I already "apt-get install vim-full", but it still does not work. Maybe it's not because of Jaunty. Anyway. Please help. (question re-asked in busy irc channel) | 02:29 |
| mechtech | brEz: if it's a live cd, you could boot to the cd to check it out first | 02:29 |
| sebsebseb | brEz: it's also much better than VMware player | 02:29 |
| bazhang | brEz, though here would be more Ubuntu support :) | 02:29 |
| iceroot | brEz: maybe you should try virtualbox, its much easier (and imo better) then vmware | 02:30 |
| brEz | Nice | 02:30 |
| brEz | cause I use ubuntu primarily, but my partner always reboots for windows | 02:30 |

| Lancearate | (reposted) I'm having difficulty with an intermittent hard crash in Ubuntu-9.04 AMD64 when attempting large file operations like backing up to a portable drive (every few minutes), or very intermittently (once or twice weekly) with regular use. Upon hard crash, the machine no longer accepts any incoming ssh connections or responds to existing ssh connections, and (as far as I know) the logs found in /var/log don't contain anyth | 02:30 |

| mdg | triplc: what version of vim you using? | 02:30 |
| bazhang | mdg, seems so | 02:30 |
| brEz | Is virtualbox freeware? | 02:30 |
| rww | brEz: yes | 02:31 |
| triplc | I am using Jaunty | 02:31 |
| bazhang | brEz, open source in Ubuntu repos, free from their site (not open though) | 02:31 |
| jonesy_ | so problematic you cant even set the correct desktop size gezz it should be scraped and put in the bin | 02:31 |
| mdg | jonesy_: bazhang says to try radeon OSS driver | 02:31 |

| brEz | lol | 02:32 |
| Lancearate | jeremdow: the root drive is EXT4, but the backup is from an NTFS drive to an NTFS drive | 02:32 |
| mechtech | brEz: make sure you have a lot of sys resources brfore running virtualbox | 02:32 |
| mdg | triplc: do vim:set commands get stored in vimrc or somehwere else? _ I don't recall | 02:32 |

| ubottu | jonesy_: Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) was the ninth release of Ubuntu. Downloading: http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/ - Release Notes: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810 | 02:55 |
| msds1502 | How do you copy information from the terminal? | 02:55 |

| edbian | msds1502: Highlight it and right click -> copy | 02:55 |
| rww | msds1502: or Ctrl-Shift-V in gnome-terminal | 02:56 |
| rww | msds1502: sorry, Ctrl-Shift-C | 02:56 |

| dragonlotus | hi all, I'm trying to use a WPA2 passphrase to connect to a hidden wifi network at my house. When I type the passphrase in, it matches the one displayed on my router page. However, after trying to connect (and failing do to authorization) it spits back a huge string of hex. Does my passphrase get converted to hex? How can I stop this or is that supposed to happen? | 03:39 |
| sebsebseb | mehul_yadav shazbotmcnasty ,best to get stuff like this form the repo, not directly from the website | 03:39 |
| sebsebseb | with the exception of 64bit | 03:39 |
| sebsebseb | since there's meant to be a really good version of Flash for 64bit out there, which isn't in the repo | 03:39 |
| mehul_yadav | ok | 03:39 |
| shazbotmcnasty | I see. | 03:40 |

| hoonteke | yesh | 03:42 |
| mattwj2002 | using ubuntu? | 03:43 |
| hoonteke | yeah | 03:43 |
| mehul_yadav | there are many flash options on synaptic | 03:43 |
| sebsebseb | hoonteke: this channel is for Ubuntu support, not other distros | 03:43 |
| Shinobi | hey, had to hard reset my computer after a program hung(ndiswrapper)during the shutdown the computer froze at the progress bar loadin down, after i held the power button down and restarted it, ubuntu wont load at all | 03:43 |
| sebsebseb | hoonteke: ,but lynx links and I think there's another as well | 03:43 |
| hoonteke | sebsebseb: urm, isn't jeos based on ubuntu? | 03:43 |
| Andorin | I downloaded a pack of .png images for a theme from here: http://art.gnome.org/themes/gtk2 Where do I stick them? | 03:43 |
| thiebaude | mehul_yadav, adobe-flashplugin | 03:43 |
| sebsebseb | hoonteke: according to that person yes, but your not meant to come here and get support for Ubuntu based distros | 03:44 |
| sebsebseb | hoonteke: that person? uh that was you as well | 03:44 |
| hoonteke | urm sorry. I didn't realize that jeos didn't count. | 03:44 |
| sebsebseb | hoonteke: does jeos have it's own support channel? | 03:45 |
| hoonteke | nope | 03:45 |
| hoonteke | redirects to #ubuntu-jeos | 03:45 |
| hoonteke | and I'm the only one there | 03:45 |
| sebsebseb | hoonteke: oh well you can use ##linux the general Linux channal | 03:45 |
| hoonteke | alright, ciao | 03:45 |
| mehul_yadav | E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) | 03:45 |
| mehul_yadav | E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? | 03:45 |
| mehul_yadav | Result for (sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras) | 03:45 |
| hoonteke | mehul_yadav: are you sure you haven't got another instance of apt running? | 03:46 |
| hoonteke | perhaps another synaptic, or apt-get from the command lne? | 03:46 |
| shazbotmcnasty | close the package manager mehul_yadav | 03:46 |
| mehul_yadav | am trying to install the flash components right now | 03:46 |
| mehul_yadav | by using the synaptic | 03:47 |
| shazbotmcnasty | okay, well wait until it's done, then close synaptic | 03:47 |
| hoonteke | only one instance of the package manager is allowed to run, either apt-get, or synaptic, or the add-remove program dialog. In the background, they're all apt-get, and you only want one of those working on the database of installed osftware. | 03:47 |
| shazbotmcnasty | then do sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 03:47 |
| mehul_yadav | ok | 03:48 |
| shazbotmcnasty | or you can install that through synaptic as well... | 03:48 |
| stowaway | yo. im trying to mount my network drive so it mounts at startup. its a nas drive with a unix system. but im not sure of the file system.. how do i go about mounting it? when i try mount 192.168.0.2:/volume_1 /mnt/nas it says wrong fs | 03:49 |

| mehul_yadav | sha256sum mismatch install_flash player_10_linux.tar.gz | 03:49 |
| mehul_yadav | The Flash plugin is NOT installed | 03:49 |
| thiebaude | mehul_yadav, maybe you should go to the adobe website and download the .deb for flash | 03:50 |
| shazbotmcnasty | it's never not worked for me that way, I suggest that, although other people disagree. | 03:50 |
| mehul_yadav | i tried downloading from the adobe website too | 03:51 |
| thiebaude | programs can be download to ubuntu using several ways | 03:51 |
| shazbotmcnasty | mehul_yadav, which one did you get? | 03:51 |
| mehul_yadav | but when i go for installing it | 03:51 |
| m0r0n | sebsebseb: danbhfive: Thank you both. It's working | 03:51 |
| mehul_yadav | it says wrong architeture | 03:51 |
| sebsebseb | m0r0n: good and no probs :) | 03:51 |
| thiebaude | mehul_yadav, you got 64bit? | 03:51 |
| mehul_yadav | where do i get the 64-bit version of flash ? | 03:52 |
| mehul_yadav | i followed the link on youtube | 03:52 |
| sebsebseb | thiebaude mehul_yadav maybe the version of Flash in the repo is good enough now even for 64bit | 03:52 |
| mehul_yadav | and then downloaded the ubuntu 8.04 version | 03:52 |
| thiebaude | sebsebseb, i agree | 03:53 |
| sebsebseb | thiebaude: mehul_yadav well really the repo Flash would be good enough for most | 03:53 |
| Andorin | Can someone please help me with installing a control theme for GNOME? | 03:53 |
| mehul_yadav | how to i get the repo flash? | 03:53 |
| thiebaude | mehul_yadav, did you enable 3rd party repositories? | 03:53 |
| sebsebseb | mehul_yadav: have you run in the termianl | 03:53 |
| sebsebseb | mehul_yadav: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras ? | 03:53 |
| mehul_yadav | yes i did run in the terminal | 03:53 |
| sebsebseb | no question mark | 03:54 |
| sebsebseb | mehul_yadav: and no Flash still? | 03:54 |

| FloridaGuy | ? what causes firefox to close when it wants ? | 03:54 |
| sebsebseb | mehul_yadav: ok | 03:54 |
| sebsebseb | FloridaGuy: Firefox or Shiretoko ? | 03:54 |
| mehul_yadav | firefox | 03:54 |
| thiebaude | mehul_yadav, did you restart firefox? | 03:54 |
| mehul_yadav | doing it | 03:55 |
| mehul_yadav | trying to view youtube videos | 03:55 |
| thiebaude | ok | 03:55 |
| mehul_yadav | still i cant see the video...... | 03:56 |
| FloridaGuy | sebsebseb, firefox | 03:56 |
| thiebaude | mehul_yadav, is it just a blank video? | 03:56 |
| sebsebseb | FloridaGuy: Firefox can be a bit bad under Linux, or well Ubuntu at least | 03:56 |
| mehul_yadav | only difference now is that it did ask me to install flashplayer | 03:56 |
| sebsebseb | FloridaGuy: Flash maybe got it close | 03:56 |
| Andorin | Can someone please help me with installing a control theme for GNOME? | 03:56 |
| thiebaude | mehul_yadav, yes | 03:56 |
| mehul_yadav | the part neat the video screen is blank white | 03:56 |
| mehul_yadav | with the video player absent | 03:57 |
| shazbotmcnasty | mehul_yadav, run firefox in terminal and see if it gives you any error messages when it closes | 03:57 |
| FloridaGuy | sebsebseb, think its all linux | 03:57 |
| mehul_yadav | how do i run firefox in the terminal? | 03:57 |
| * sebsebseb Flash can cause quite a few issues with Firefox in Ubuntu | 03:57 | |
| shazbotmcnasty | Andorin, don't you just drag and drop the file into the theme manager? | 03:57 |
| bruenig | mehul_yadav: run "firefox" in the terminal | 03:57 |
| sebsebseb | FloridaGuy: What do you think Linux is? | 03:58 |
| thiebaude | mehul_yadav, gksudo firefox | 03:58 |
| mehul_yadav | ok | 03:58 |
| sebsebseb | mehul_yadav: you don't, it's a graphical browser | 03:58 |
| sebsebseb | mehul_yadav: don't do what he suggested | 03:58 |
| Andorin | shazbotmcnasty: Maybe that would work if this came with an .xml file, but this is just a bunch of .png images and a gtkrc.txt file. | 03:58 |
| thiebaude | gksudo | 03:58 |
| sebsebseb | mehul_yadav: if you do that your basically running Flash as root, and that's not good | 03:58 |
| sebsebseb | mehul_yadav: Flash I meant Firefox | 03:58 |
| n2diy | what could I do with a 650 mhz, 128 meg ram box? | 03:59 |
| shazbotmcnasty | I'd suggest just googling to hell and back | 03:59 |
| sebsebseb | !linux | FloridaGuy | 03:59 |
| ubottu | FloridaGuy: Linux is the kernel (core) of the Ubuntu operating system. Many operating systems use Linux as kernel. For more information on Linux in general, visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux | 03:59 |
| shazbotmcnasty | since no one is helping you here. And you've been asking for a while. | 03:59 |
| Andorin | shazbotmcnasty: I did. I got this. http://library.gnome.org/admin/system-admin-guide/stable/themes-3.html.en It doesn't really help. | 03:59 |
| mehul_yadav | ubuntu-restricted-extras is already the newest version. | 03:59 |
| mehul_yadav | 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 4 not upgraded. | 03:59 |
| sebsebseb | thiebaude: don't tell people to gksudo firefox | 03:59 |
| mehul_yadav | i already did it | 04:00 |
| FloridaGuy | sebsebseb, when i said all linux...i met firefox isent bad just in ubuntu...all distro's i use... | 04:00 |
| nevyn | n2diy: it would make a reasonable dev platform or a light web browsing box. | 04:00 |
| mehul_yadav | gksudo firefox | 04:00 |
| nevyn | n2diy: without more ram I'd avoid using it as a workstation tho. | 04:00 |
| sebsebseb | FloridaGuy: your not the first person to say something like that, but hey we can expect this, Flash is closed source | 04:00 |
| thiebaude | sebsebseb, but dont you open graphical programs from the terminal with gksudo not sudo | 04:01 |
| sebsebseb | FloridaGuy: and from a company that dosen't really care about Linux | 04:01 |
| oldude67 | n2diy, would be one heck of a dsl box tho | 04:01 |
| n2diy | nevyn: ok, I have a test box already, but having two wouldn't hurt. I thinking of maybe a headless server? | 04:01 |
| ubuntu_ | does mark shuttleworth ever get on here? | 04:01 |
| sebsebseb | thiebaude: yes, but only programs that you have a reason to do that to, so not Firefox | 04:01 |
| shazbotmcnasty | Andorin, put them in /usr/share/themes/option-name/pixmaps/*.* | 04:01 |
| nevyn | n2diy: yeah that works | 04:01 |
| thiebaude | sebsebseb, cool , i didn't know that | 04:01 |
| sebsebseb | ubuntu_: there was a question and answer session with him for the Ubuntu 9.04 Open Week | 04:01 |
| shazbotmcnasty | or somewhere in ~/,themes | 04:01 |
| Andorin | shazbotmcnasty: I thought that the directory had to exist in order for that to work, but there's no pixmaps directory... I suppose I'll try creating it. | 04:01 |
| sebsebseb | !openweek | ubuntu_ | 04:01 |
| ubottu | ubuntu_: Ubuntu is hosting a series of introductory sessions for people who want to join the Ubuntu community, which all takes place in a week. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOpenWeek for schedules, logs, and instructions. | 04:01 |

| shazbotmcnasty | don't create one.. | 04:02 |
| sebsebseb | ubuntu_: I thought there might be a factoid, but I think that factoid is a bit outdated now | 04:02 |
| oldude67 | !cookie | ubottu | 04:02 |

| komputes | Does anyone here use a graphical front-end to /etc/fstab? | 04:07 |

| r3l1c | sebsebseb: I know, I use it. | 04:07 |
| sebsebseb | draxo: this channel is really only meant to be for Ubuntu support, and then obviously people go off topic here and there as well | 04:07 |

| thiebaude1 | lol | 04:07 |
| komputes | kevdog: what irc app are you using? | 04:08 |
| nevyn | komputes: I use puppet... | 04:08 |
| sebsebseb | thiebaude1: what at what I put? | 04:08 |
| shazbotmcnasty | Andorin, /uar/share/NAME_OF_THE_THEME/pixmaps? | 04:08 |
| DocZetta | could I get a hand here? It's got to do with uninstalling GRUB. | 04:08 |
| kevdog | komputes: chatzilla | 04:08 |
| Andorin | shazbotmcnasty: Yes. | 04:08 |
| n2diy | komputes: I'm afraid to use anything with fstab, especially a gui that might not be mature. | 04:08 |
| shazbotmcnasty | well then, go inside the original file and find where the pictures for the theme are, and replace them with the ones that you've got | 04:09 |
| thiebaude1 | sebsebseb: how do i change it, i switced over from xchat | 04:09 |
| thiebaude1 | ? | 04:09 |
| ubuntu_ | they don't like me either | 04:09 |
| shazbotmcnasty | that's what I would do, although it'd probably esplode my puter | 04:09 |
| sebsebseb | thiebaude1: change what? | 04:09 |
| kevdog | >-) | 04:09 |
| thiebaude1 | sebsebseb: the 1 after my name | 04:09 |
| ubuntu_ | i mean the #ubuntu+1 | 04:09 |
| DocZetta | I know, I'm a total newbie here, but I'd like to uninstall GRUB and re-format my ubuntu partition. | 04:09 |
| shazbotmcnasty | /nick thiebaude | 04:09 |
| sebsebseb | thiebaude1: switched over to what? and /knick | 04:09 |
| draxo | well it's a potential ubuntu problem too i would think. whenever i activate the restricted ati/amd fglrx driver and try to load up the "screen preferences" to change my resolution to dual screen it freezes on me. and the entire system just bogs until i restart | 04:09 |
| thiebaude1 | yes | 04:09 |
| kevdog | thiebaude1: did you register your name with the nickserv? | 04:09 |
| sebsebseb | ubuntu_: I joined soon after I told you to join, but I didn't see you put anything | 04:10 |
| komputes | nevyn: puppet is not graphical is it? | 04:10 |
| n2diy | DocZetta: so just re-install? | 04:10 |
| shazbotmcnasty | oh burned | 04:10 |
| thiebaude1 | kevdog:it was thiebaude on xchat | 04:10 |
| ubuntu_ | DocZetta, are you wanting to reinstall windows or just reinstall ubuntu? | 04:10 |
| nevyn | komputes: not exactly. | 04:10 |

| sebsebseb | shazbotmcnasty: why do you think that? | 04:10 |
| kevdog | I need an alternative to unison | 04:11 |

| kevdog | n2diy: How does it work? rsync or something else? | 04:11 |
| DocZetta | but I wasn't sure how ubuntu would handle it, so I installed easyBCD and ran it, and reinstalled the vista bootloader. | 04:11 |
| DocZetta | so now I'm not even sure if it's safe to reboot. | 04:11 |
| komputes | nevyn: basically just to select a drive and have it mount at startup | 04:12 |
| ubuntu_ | join what? | 04:12 |
| forces | !lts | 04:12 |
| ubottu | LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Hardy (Hardy Heron 8.04). The next LTS release is scheduled to be 10.04 | 04:12 |
| n2diy | kevdog: yes, gui front end for rsync, I've been using it for two weeks now to mirror /home/me to my test box down stairs. | 04:12 |
| komputes | nevyn: something which i feel should be included in ubuntu (like right click on drive, proprties, then select that you wanted mouted at startup) | 04:12 |
| nevyn | komputes: so a user needs to add internal harddisks to his system..? | 04:12 |
| sebsebseb | shazbotmcnasty: sometimes I may join the channal if not already in it, when I refer someone there, to see if others are helping with the issue, and possibily to assist with it myself | 04:12 |
| DocZetta | if anyone's wondering, I do not have a backup or bootable Vista 64 disk. | 04:13 |
| nevyn | komputes: how are the drives we're talking about connected? | 04:13 |
| DocZetta | just a hidden partition. | 04:13 |
| nevyn | DocZetta: those are evil!. | 04:13 |
| shazbotmcnasty | I still never got any damn help with localhost. Does anyone know how to unblock localhost, I'm trying to get bitlbee to work correctly, but localhost denies my connection. | 04:13 |
| komputes | nevyn: yep just to select a partition to mount at starup - internal drive (sata or ide) | 04:13 |
| kevdog | n2diy: Although I love the concept of rsync -- its really buggy for me -- seems to drop with large transfers -- meaning files that are really large. Does this happen to anyone else? | 04:13 |
| DocZetta | nevyn: tell me about it. it's partly why I'm afraid to shut this off and reboot. | 04:13 |
| shazbotmcnasty | sebsebseb, it was kinda a joke, I was mocking ubuntu_ | 04:13 |
| DocZetta | I'm in Vista 64 now. | 04:13 |
| komputes | nevyn: any way to do that other than editing fstab? | 04:13 |
| sebsebseb | shazbotmcnasty: oh right, didn't pick up on that | 04:13 |
| ubuntu_ | why am i being mocked now? | 04:13 |
| shazbotmcnasty | :) | 04:14 |
| thiebaude1 | how do i change my nick? | 04:14 |
| n2diy | kevdog: I recall reading something like that, you might google it, I think there is a cli switch to limit transfer size, so you can span over a couple CDs, but I'm not sure of that? | 04:15 |
| DocZetta | but does anyone have any ideas or suggestions? I don't want to be stuck in Vista, and this laptop is less than two months old. | 04:15 |

| nickhere | and why was i being mocked earlier, what did i ever do to get mocked? | 04:17 |
| komputes | nevyn: i found external projects like pysdm and disk-manager which are frontends to fstab, but I was wondering if there was a way of doing it without installing extra packages | 04:17 |
| shazbotmcnasty | nothing. I was just making fun. | 04:17 |

| pehden | simple issue, i want filezilla ftp server i have the win base source any sulutions to compiling this for 8.04 | 04:17 |
| komputes | ok | 04:18 |
| nevyn | dsdeiz: chromium is a game | 04:18 |
| nickhere | pehden, you are talking off topic since filezilla does not directly relate to Ubuntu... | 04:18 |
| dsdeiz | chromium-browser | 04:18 |
| nickhere | and neither does chrome or chromium.. | 04:18 |
| pehden | i have ubuntu 8.10 | 04:18 |
| bazhang | nickhere, it is in the repos | 04:19 |
| bazhang | nickhere, last warning | 04:19 |
| pehden | nickhere i am trying to compile it for ubuntu | 04:19 |
| nickhere | so is ubuntu one | 04:19 |
| kevdog | anyone used rdiff-backup? | 04:19 |
| n2diy | if I setup a headless server, does the video card have to stay in the box? | 04:19 |
| MK13 | n2diy, no | 04:20 |
| pehden | bazhang im refering to the filezilla server | 04:20 |
| dsdeiz | i guess you're right nickhere | 04:20 |
| bazhang | pehden, why compile, filezilla is in hardy repos | 04:20 |
| ding_ | kevdog, I use it quite a bit in automated fashion. | 04:20 |
| pehden | thats the client not the server | 04:20 |
| n2diy | MK13: cool, thanks. | 04:20 |
| kevdog | ding_:does it run ontop of rsync or is it a standalone utility? | 04:21 |
| jeremdow | IRC noob question - but I'm using pidgin with the purple plugins pack to chat here - is that a reasonable way to do IRC - or should I be using something else? | 04:21 |
| DocZetta | anyone have an answer? | 04:21 |
| pehden | bazhang thats the client not the server | 04:21 |
| bazhang | pehden, ah I see | 04:21 |
| nickhere | the ops are obviously unfair and unbalanced in this channel | 04:21 |
| dragon | how can i remove the config files associated with a package after i've removed the package itself? | 04:21 |
| ctmjr | n2diy: i second that what MK13 says | 04:21 |
| stormchas2000 | nickhere i agree with you | 04:21 |
| trask1 | pidgin owns, if irc is all u use there or u hack around alot other clients can compete | 04:22 |
| ding_ | kevdog, I believe it's implemented in python but that it does use rsync... a check on it's package dependencies should answer that one though... | 04:22 |
| bipul | hi | 04:22 |
| n2diy | ctmjr: ok, I better get to work then. tnx | 04:22 |
| dragon | !hi | bipul | 04:22 |

| MK13 | n2diy, i would take my gpu outa my server but it is one w/ the mobo :) | 04:22 |
| bipul | thankyou | 04:22 |
| ding_ | kevdog, it uses librsync1.... | 04:23 |
| kevdog | How is rdiff any different than unison? | 04:23 |
| dragon | Is there a way to get rid of the config files after doing sudo apt-get remove <package>? | 04:23 |
| kevdog | ding_: How is rdiff any different than unison? | 04:23 |
| bipul | actually i was trying find out a way to install jdk to my system and the netbeans | 04:23 |
| bipul | as i am new here in the field of linux please help me | 04:24 |
| dsdeiz | nickhere: do you by far know how to change the commands being run by dmenu? | 04:24 |
| donnybrasco | hello - I've started getting an error message when I boot my computer (and it seems to be running sluggishly all of a sudden). The error reads "Enter password for default keyring to unlock - the application 'NetworkManager Applet (/usr/bin/nm-applet) wants access to the default keyring, but it is locked" can anyone help? | 04:24 |
| sebsebseb | dsdeiz: nickhere got muted or something I think | 04:24 |
| ding_ | kevdog, unison is a two-way syncing utility. rdiff-backup is designed to keep a record of changes over time, so you can say, retrieve a directory or file from a certain date or number of days back in time... | 04:24 |
| jeremdow | trask1: thanks - I'm happy with it except being able to have multiple channels tiled - you can do it but trickier in ubuntu because you can't automatically tile the windows. | 04:25 |
| n2diy | MK13: the box I'm working on is a 650mhz machine, with a 128 m of ram. I'd rather be working on the 1200mhz, 256 m ram box, but, the video controller is dead on the MB, and I don't have a PCI card to drop in it. | 04:25 |
| ding_ | I believe it also does some fancy footwork with hard links to save disk space | 04:25 |
| rafaelscj | i think my gprs connection is faster on ubuntu than on windows... | 04:25 |
| dsdeiz | sebsebseb: oh okay | 04:25 |
| kevdog | ding_: Ok I get the difference but does it choke with large file sizes like unison? Sometimes with unison for me if I have a file that is like 100-200 MB in size (or bigger) the process chokes! | 04:25 |
| flanders | Is there anything more up to date than "wipe" and "secure-delete"? These two programs have not been updated for several YEARS. Isn't there a wipe tool that is more recent, and takes into account journaling filesystems and newer harddrive techonlogies? | 04:26 |

| pehden | any one have a sullution to my issue | 04:26 |
| sebsebseb | rb789: the learning curve isn't that steep | 04:26 |
| flanders | roy_hobbs: You have to switch the desktop mode. | 04:26 |
| ding_ | well, since it uses the rsync protocol, it will try to compute deltas. That's where the trouble can happen with large files... There's probably a way to turn off the delta computation aspect... | 04:26 |
| roy_hobbs | flanders: where/how? | 04:26 |
| rafaelscj | how to get the nameserver from an IP address? | 04:27 |
| pehden | rb789 it depends on your def of easy | 04:27 |
| flanders | roy_hobbs: Go to Preferences > Switch Desktop Mode | 04:27 |
| sebsebseb | rb789: if you have Ubuntu, are there any Windows programs you would like to run in it? if so which? | 04:27 |
| roy_hobbs | thanks | 04:27 |
| DocZetta | STEAM | 04:27 |
| shazbotmcnasty | steam runs in wine :3 | 04:27 |
| flanders | roy_hobbs: I prefer the classic desktop mode, personally. I got tired of the Netbook desktop mode, and it uses extra RAM as well. | 04:27 |
| pehden | if anything you can test ubuntu with live cd | 04:27 |
| DocZetta | bah. I'm a noob. I haven't even had ubuntu a week yet. | 04:27 |
| pehden | rb789 make an iso and test it live without installing it | 04:28 |
| flanders | Did anyone see my question about current wipe software? | 04:28 |
| sebsebseb | !wine | DocZetta rb789 | 04:28 |

| zherkehzi | Hey quick question. How much damage could a virus do to my ubuntu machine if it ran it's self through wine? | 04:28 |
| sebsebseb | zherkehzi: none at all | 04:28 |
| jeremdow | flanders: the netbook mode uses extra ram? | 04:28 |
| shazbotmcnasty | but yes, I think it's an easy thing to learn, there are many many websites, and a great community of people to help you if you don't understand something. rb789 | 04:29 |
| sebsebseb | zherkehzi: Windows viruses only infect Windows | 04:29 |
| zherkehzi | kewlbeans thanks! | 04:29 |
| sebsebseb | zherkehzi: also the virus may not work at all in Wine, or only partially | 04:29 |
| pehden | rb789 sorry, you can burn ubuntu to disk or order it for free and test it out | 04:29 |
| sebsebseb | !virus | zherkehzi | 04:29 |
| ubottu | zherkehzi: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 | 04:29 |
| flanders | jeremdow: Yes, I noticed it. It is a couple extra processes, in of itself. | 04:29 |
| DocZetta | thanks sebsebseb, but I know what WINE is. :-P | 04:29 |
| zherkehzi | as well as the rest of .exe programs rofl | 04:29 |

| === HttpError is now known as evilNirvana | ||
| flanders | I mean, it's not a memory hog, only about 20 MB. So if you prefer the netbook launcher desktop, then keep it. I prefer the classic desktop mode, after getting tired of the rigid netbook desktop mode. Plus, it saves a bit of RAM as well, if you don't use it. | 04:31 |

| flanders | Is there anything more up to date than "wipe" and "secure-delete"? These two programs have not been updated for several YEARS. Isn't there a wipe tool that is more recent, and takes into account journaling filesystems and newer harddrive techonlogies? | 04:32 |
| rocko | Is their a dimming app? for notebooks? | 04:32 |
| jeremdow | flanders: I'm just surprised, I use the classic desktop, but i would have assumed netbook mode would have a smaller memory footprint. | 04:33 |
| pehden | ubuntu 9.04 has that ability preinstalled | 04:34 |
| ExMachina | i found a cool hax, just type /quit whoever, and it'll quit them from irc | 04:34 |
| bruenig | jeremdow: nothing ubuntu has a small memory footprint | 04:34 |

| stanley_ | lotus: thanks anyway man | 04:44 |
| richardcavell | kevdog: I tried backing up my internal hard disk to a bz2 file and could have fallen asleep waiting for it. It's not much smaller than gzip | 04:44 |
| richardcavell | kevdog: that is to say, the resulting image is not much smaller with bz2 than with gz | 04:44 |
| pehden | kevdog thats why im here i new to this | 04:45 |
| ojai | does anyone know how to disable ipv6 in jaunty? | 04:45 |
| kevdog | I just aborted bz2 creation and am going with gz -- Hopefully its faster | 04:45 |
| kevdog | pehden: Why do you want filezilla anyway -- linux has better utilities | 04:45 |
| ojai | used to be easy by commenting out the line in /etc/modprobe.conf/aliases back in the day but doesn't like that file exists anymore | 04:46 |
| kevdog | Yea this gz archive creation is faster!!! | 04:47 |
| kevdog | Thanks for tip!!! | 04:47 |

| gasull | Hi all. Is there any way to run a Mac OS Widget on Linux? Thanks. | 04:58 |
| nickhere | bazhang, can't he still boot into the live cd without harming windows? | 04:58 |
| zherkehzi | to be exact | 04:58 |
| bazhang | gasull, in kde4? | 04:58 |
| bullgard4 | zherkehzi: Very good, thank you again. | 04:58 |
| gasull | bazhang: gnome | 04:58 |
| bazhang | nickhere, sure, but he wants unetbootin | 04:58 |
| bazhang | gasull, doubtful with gnome, kde4 can iirc | 04:58 |
| nickhere | I was just trying to offer an easier solution :-) | 04:59 |

| ultraz | I used to have Thinkpad T42, and was running Ubuntu for a long time on it, and i remember fan working non stop, after that i switched to Dell Latitude runing Ubuntu where fan worked fine. Recently i got Thinkpad T60 and i am having the same issue, once the fan start it never stops. Is this issue known or? | 05:06 |
| voss | ultraz, may be an issue with the t-60 fan assembly | 05:07 |
| BellinXFelon | can someone help me with my external usb hd i cannot write to it | 05:07 |
| nickhere | BellinXFelon, is it write protected? | 05:07 |
| BellinXFelon | nickhere : no i dont think so | 05:08 |
| BellinXFelon | nickhere : i just had it working and now it went back to not letting me write to it | 05:08 |
| nickhere | hmm | 05:08 |
| nickhere | ever plug it into a windows machine? | 05:08 |
| ultraz | voss: and T42? | 05:10 |
| ultraz | voss: It looks to me like Ubuntu has issue with Thinkpads. | 05:11 |
| voss | ultraz, perhaps | 05:11 |
| cjae_ | !adduser | 05:12 |
| ubottu | To add new users to your Ubuntu system, follow the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddUsersHowto - For administrative privileges, users need to be made members of the group "admin" - See !sudo | 05:12 |
| iwobbles | mm I had a few issues with my think pad ultraz keyboard problems & usb | 05:12 |
| iwobbles | but after a few updates it seemed to have fixed most issues | 05:13 |
| voss | ultraz, fan assemblies can be a problem with older thinkpads | 05:13 |
| mechtech | Hey...I think I need a little help...I just opened a folder full of e-books via the gui, and the progress wheel just keeps spinning, and not all the files are appearing...is this a problem, or should i just be more patient? | 05:13 |

| voss | What is Linux Mint considered in relation to Ubuntu , a variant, a spinoff or a derivative product? | 05:17 |
| hoonteke | CaptWho: you use sudo | 05:17 |
| zherkehzi | Well try to click the exit button, then it should ask you to Wait, or Force quit | 05:17 |
| hoonteke | CaptWho: $ sudo su - | 05:18 |
| hoonteke | then type your user password | 05:18 |
| nickhere | linux mint is like the long lost cousin... | 05:18 |
| zherkehzi | Then click force quit. But I mean, whatever you think | 05:18 |

| KE7TMA | i am a relative newb to ubuntu | 05:19 |
| KE7TMA | it's been years since i learned linux | 05:19 |
| mechtech | how to force quit? | 05:19 |
| KE7TMA | i wanted a fakeraid so i used server, not i am in the process of bootstrapping a desktop from it | 05:19 |
| coleys | ste | 05:19 |
| CaptWho | thanks much hoonteke | 05:19 |
| KE7TMA | how do i use apt to install the ubuntu DESKTOP package? | 05:19 |
| hoonteke | CaptWho: no worries, but listen to mechtech as well. | 05:19 |
| zherkehzi | mechtech: You can also add the force quit button to your panel. Right click on panel, then click add to panel, | 05:20 |
| CaptWho | why cam | 05:20 |
| CaptWho | oops | 05:20 |
| zherkehzi | then search for force quit. then click Add. | 05:20 |
| KE7TMA | you can also kill a task from the system monitor | 05:20 |
| CaptWho | why shouldn't i log in as root? | 05:20 |
| KE7TMA | because | 05:20 |
| KE7TMA | it's easier to screw up the system | 05:20 |
| danbhfive | KE7TMA: do you want the package or the full desktop that is installed by the installer? | 05:20 |
| KE7TMA | cat walks across the keyboard | 05:20 |
| KE7TMA | dan | 05:20 |
| KE7TMA | i installed the ubuntu-desktop metapackage | 05:21 |
| KE7TMA | but i still have the server kernel | 05:21 |
| KE7TMA | my goal is a mythbuntu setup | 05:21 |
| mechtech | zherkehzi: thanks...is there a keystroke for that? | 05:21 |
| KE7TMA | but, i want to have gnome as well, | 05:21 |
| KE7TMA | the damned thing is that i managed it once before | 05:22 |
| KE7TMA | but bad ram caused that installation to fail mysteriously | 05:22 |
| kbp | why is there no virus on *nix system? | 05:22 |
| zherkehzi | mechtech: I'm sorry, I dont understand. What do you mean by keystroke? | 05:22 |
| KE7TMA | kbp | 05:22 |
| danbhfive | KE7TMA: yeah, you gotta install linux-generic | 05:22 |
| KE7TMA | ahhhhhhhhh | 05:22 |
| KE7TMA | nice | 05:22 |
| aurilliance | kbp: because it's soo good | 05:22 |
| mechtech | zherkehzi: like <ctrl><alt>delete in win, or <Command><option>esc in Mac OS | 05:23 |

| KE7TMA | xserver? | 05:24 |
| mechtech | !language | KE7TMA | 05:24 |
| ubottu | KE7TMA: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 05:24 |
| zherkehzi | mechtech: I don't think so, but If you add it to your panel, it's just as easy. you click on it, then click on the program you want to force quit. Then boom! programs gone | 05:24 |
| KE7TMA | xserve? | 05:24 |
| KE7TMA | ah sorry | 05:24 |
| mazda01 | i am using this site for examples. and it appears that it should be working. http://help.ischool.washington.edu/faqs/30_32_en.html | 05:24 |
| zherkehzi | mechtech:let me check the keyboard shortcuts. one secound | 05:24 |
| mechtech | zherkehzi: I did that and it worked great, and this time, my file browser didn't freeze...thanks a lot | 05:24 |
| KE7TMA | well you guys have been most helpful | 05:25 |
| kbp | ubottu doesnt explain why there is no virus on Linux | 05:25 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 05:25 |
| KE7TMA | to tell the truth i'm more of a mac, freebsd, solaris kind of guy | 05:25 |
| mechtech | xserve is apple's bsd based rackmount server product | 05:25 |
| KE7TMA | but none of those will drive my new atom's onboard video accelerator | 05:25 |
| KE7TMA | yeah | 05:25 |
| KE7TMA | running linux on a mac | 05:25 |
| james_ | join #webos-internals | 05:25 |

| mechtech | kbp: I got a virus infected file yesterday from a torrent I downloaded | 05:26 |
| zherkehzi | mechtech: no problem. but sorry there's no keystrokes for force quit. I checked. For regular quit there is ALT+4. | 05:26 |
| KE7TMA | if you want your xserve to be like linux there are a hundred ways to do it | 05:26 |
| voss | mech, what os? | 05:26 |
| KE7TMA | sheeeewt | 05:26 |

| Xodiac13 | i am trying to get wireless on my laptop it works in 9.04 but my video card isnt supported in that version i am using 8.10 with antheros chipset can someone help me get my wireless card working | 05:26 |
| KE7TMA | give it say half the processors | 05:26 |
| richardcavell | !intel-microcode | 05:26 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about intel-microcode | 05:26 |
| KE7TMA | i have a mac pro here | 05:27 |
| mechtech | KE7TMA: actually Apple's OSes are ALL Free BSD based now, and frankly it's the best software on this planet | 05:27 |
| KE7TMA | i know | 05:27 |
| KE7TMA | actually | 05:27 |
| voss | xodiac, what type of computer is it? | 05:27 |
| KE7TMA | apple's "os x" used to be called nextstep in the 80s | 05:27 |
| Xodiac13 | mechtech: sorry to bother you i need help with my wireless card i have the atheros chipset | 05:27 |
| mechtech | KE7TMA: oops...thought you were dogging Mac OS | 05:27 |
| KE7TMA | and it is in fact based off BSD unix | 05:27 |
| KE7TMA | with a mach microkernel | 05:27 |
| KE7TMA | the userland and a lot of the system is freebsd | 05:27 |
| KE7TMA | but with a different driver model and a totally different kernel | 05:28 |
| KE7TMA | i know | 05:28 |
| mechtech | Xodiac13: no bother...what symptoms? | 05:28 |
| KE7TMA | it feels like freebsd though | 05:28 |
| Xodiac13 | mechtech: i would like to get wireless going on this laptop so i dont have to have it wired | 05:28 |
| jipsy | how can i restart my settings?? | 05:28 |
| richardcavell | Does anyone know anything about the intel-microcode package? Whether it should be installed and if so, how to use it? | 05:28 |
| omegamormegil | kbp: Viruses exploit security vulnerabilities in the software they attack. Linux has less vulnerabilities, and when they are found they are patched. Also, people writing viruses want to go after Windows because it's so much more commonly used. They get more bang for their buck. | 05:28 |
| KE7TMA | i am saying | 05:28 |
| KE7TMA | why run linux on an xserve? | 05:28 |
| KE7TMA | just run os x | 05:28 |
| KE7TMA | and virtualbox | 05:28 |
| trollaxor | why run linux on a mac? | 05:28 |
| voss | mechtech, I think OS/X is good but overrated | 05:28 |
| Xodiac13 | mechtech: it i looked in the hardware and it installed the atheros wlan so i pretty sure wireless should work | 05:28 |
| KE7TMA | yes | 05:29 |
| trollaxor | http://www.trollaxor.com/2003/04/why-run-linux-on-mac.html | 05:29 |
| mechtech | Xodiac13: is it giving you errors, or you need to know where to start? | 05:29 |
| jipsy | mawning penguins....how can i restart all my settings?? | 05:29 |
| richardcavell | trollaxor: I'm using Linux on a Mac right now | 05:29 |
| KE7TMA | i submit that running linux on a mac is pointless | 05:29 |
| KE7TMA | why? | 05:29 |
| KE7TMA | i am not trying to flame here | 05:29 |
| Xodiac13 | mechtech: i need to know where to start what programs i can use to easily connect to my router | 05:29 |
| KE7TMA | but hardware support is better anyway | 05:29 |
| roy_hobbs | Hey I got an EEEBuntu NBR problem. I accidentally rotated the screen at one point, now every time i boot up it rotates, I can't undo the setting | 05:29 |
| KE7TMA | and os x is not too obtrusive | 05:29 |
| mechtech | voss: a little off topic, but if you find a bug, I'd like to know...we have four macs around here, and I used to work for Apple | 05:30 |
| mechtech | Xodiac13: iwconfig | 05:30 |

| KE7TMA | i wish gnustep had ubuntu backing | 05:30 |
| mechtech | trollaxor: tech support for OS X, OS 9.2 and iMac | 05:30 |
| kbp | omegamormegil: thank you :) I just worry about the programs I installed through apt-get (repositories). Did anyone check/try it before make it available for people to use? | 05:30 |
| omegamormegil | jipsy: for what application? The settings for a given application are usually stored in a hidden folder or file (which starts with a period) in your home folder. | 05:30 |
| trollaxor | ouch | 05:30 |
| KE7TMA | ubuntustep | 05:30 |
| KE7TMA | that would be way cool | 05:30 |
| Xodiac13 | mechtech: it says no wireless extenstions | 05:31 |

| albech | what can cause many domains not to load properly when not using the ISPs DNS servers? | 05:31 |

| cjae_ | what groups do I need to belong to when creating a new user, that make it the same as the user created during installation? | 05:31 |
| KE7TMA | can you do accelerated x in vmware? | 05:31 |
| mechtech | Xodiac13: lemme research...doesn't sound good...have you re-loaded or re-booted since you installed the drivers for your wireles card? | 05:31 |
| KE7TMA | i would assume you need to install their "guest extensions" or whatever they call them | 05:32 |
| Xodiac13 | mechtech: it says in the hardware that its activated and i made sure the switch is on when i done have the ethernet port in it has 2 computers together on top right | 05:32 |
| Soulguard | i dont know gues not | 05:32 |
| omegamormegil | kbp: The files coming through apt-get come from one place, which is much more secure than having to download every program from a different website. You can generally consider them to be very safe. If you are really paranoid, you can also opt to stick with the main Ubuntu server, as opposed to a mirror. | 05:32 |

| omegamormegil | Xodiac13: Going to System>Administration>Hardware Drivers may be an easier way of getting your wifi working. It tries to autodetect what you need to have installed. | 05:43 |

| mataks | mechtech, nope the windows are not open.. just this tab in the panel.. same applications in the panel | 05:49 |
| omegamormegil | Xodiac13: The program you want to use is the Network Manager Applet on your panel. If the panel applet doesn't display any wifi connections that means you need to install the drivers. Do you see that applet?

| Atreus | My computer simply won't boot my 9.04 CD. it'll boot the 8.something CD fine, but freezes while installing, and downrigth passes over the CD when it's 9.04. any suggestins? | 05:49 |
| kevdog | Atreus: Try alternate cd | 05:49 |
| bazhang | Atreus, sounds like a bad burn | 05:50 |

| Atreus | kevdog, bazhang: i've tried two burns | 05:50 |
| Xodiac13 | omegamormegil: yes i see it but when i take out the ethernet cable it displays two computers with and orange x on the right bottom side | 05:50 |
| bazhang | Atreus, md5 the iso, burn very slowly, do the disk integrity check | 05:50 |
| mataks | mechtech, for example i open xchat,firefox and audacious in desktop1 ... when i move to desktop2.. those programs are on my panel.. .. | 05:50 |
| mechtech | mataks: Ooooh! I think it's supposed to be that way...for instance, I had a bunch of files sitting in my desktop folder...their icons were on all of my desktops...see what I mean? | 05:50 |
| zherkehzi | You know, the more viruses windows get's the less people want to use it. Upside for ubuntu | 05:50 |
| bazhang | Atreus, if the iso is corrupt that wont matter | 05:50 |
| Atreus | bazhang: also downloaded it twice, separately | 05:50 |
| mataks | mechtech, it's not the icon.. it's the tabs | 05:50 |
| Atreus | and burned ont he slowest speed | 05:51 |
| Atreus | 8x | 05:51 |
| bazhang | Atreus, and md5'd it? | 05:51 |
| ipsk | how to view .dwg files autocad files in ubuntu | 05:51 |
| omegamormegil | Xodiac13: Yes, that's what I'd expect. If you click it, does it give you a "Wireless Network" section? | 05:51 |
| mechtech | mataks: oh...just a sec...yeah, actually...same here | 05:51 |
| Atreus | don't think so, unless PowerDVD does it automatically | 05:51 |
| kevdog | atreus - check the signature or md5 -- or just try the alternate cd | 05:51 |

| mechtech | mataks: like, I have xchat in the upper right on both desktop panels | 05:52 |
| Xodiac13 | omegamormegil: no it doesnt its odd is there a program i need to install or something | 05:52 |
| Atreus | bazhang: thankies | 05:52 |
| mataks | mechtech, hehe.. i think something to do with the reflection maybe.. or not.. before it isn't like this until i play something on compiz | 05:52 |

| ubottu | Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots | 05:52 |
| Atreus | bazhang: immediate problem, i has no ubuntu | 05:52 |
| mechtech | !desktop | 05:52 |
| ubottu | A desktop environment is what "puts the pieces of a !GUI together". The available desktop environments in Ubuntu are !GNOME (ubuntu-desktop), !KDE (kubuntu-desktop), !Xfce (xubuntu-desktop), IceWM, !Fluxbox, WindowMaker (wmaker), FVWM and others - See also !Flavors | 05:52 |
| mechtech | !flavors | 05:53 |
| ubottu | !GTK and !Qt are !GUI toolkits (i.e. software libraries that draw buttons, textboxes, etc). !GNOME, !KDE, !Xfce and friends are "!desktop environments", which build on top of such libraries to provide a "consistent" desktop experience. !Kubuntu and !Xubuntu are simply flavors of Ubuntu that come with KDE and Xfce (respectively) installed as default, instead of GNOME. Other specialized flavors of Ubuntu include !Edubuntu | 05:53 |

| ubottu | Enlightenment (or "E") is a window manager for X, providing a useful, and good looking graphical shell in which to work. E17 is the current development version. | 05:53 |

| omegamormegil | Xodiac13: You probably need to install the drivers for your wifi. A lot of wifi cards don't work out of the box, because there are legal restrictions on how the drivers can be distributed. Ubuntu has the Hardware Drivers tool to try to help people get this type of hardware working. Did you try it? | 05:54 |

| kyppcgeek | Linux Mint is AWSOME! | 06:05 |
| omegamormegil | Xodiac13: Alright. Check the network-manager applet to see if it is detecting wireless networks now. If not, you might want to try restarting the computer. If that doesn't work, there was a bug in Ubuntu 8.10 with getting some Atheros cards working and you need to install the linux-backports-modules-intrepid-generic package to make it work. You can search for it in the Synaptic Package Manager you had open previously. | 06:05 |

| Gnea | mataks: you have the applications set to be visible on any desktop | 06:07 |
| kyppcgeek | ubuntu is on my server. linux mint is on my desktop | 06:07 |
| mechtech | oot, click options, select KDE and continue | 06:07 |
| Xodiac13 | nickhere: what | 06:07 |
| mechtech | oops | 06:07 |
| mataks | Gnea, where can i change the settings? | 06:07 |
| Purpley | Everytime i move these certain files to the trash they come back to my desktop | 06:07 |
| Purpley | ive also tried putting them in a folder | 06:07 |
| omegamormegil | Xodiac13: Let me know if it works. | 06:07 |
| Gnea | kyppcgeek: please take it to #ubuntu-offtopic then | 06:07 |
| Purpley | and they apparently make copies | 06:07 |
| Purpley | and goto my desktop | 06:07 |
| Gnea | mataks: right-click on any of the applications | 06:08 |
| Purpley | and im sure there not viruses | 06:08 |
| Ademan | Gnea: ah thanks | 06:08 |
| Purpley | as im not sure how someone goes about infecting a pdf file | 06:08 |
| kyppcgeek | um. both run same commands. i am watching posts here and learning | 06:08 |
| Purpley | and ive already ran a virus scan | 06:08 |
| Eric_J1 | can anyone give me some advice on my sound card issue? | 06:08 |
| nickhere | just because you are in a different virtual desktop, it doesn't mean those programs cease to exist when you are on another desktop | 06:08 |
| Xodiac13 | omegamormegil: okay | 06:08 |
| mechtech | Pupley: I had an infected pdf yesterday | 06:08 |
| Xodiac13 | omegamormegil: should i restart my computer after i get the package | 06:09 |
| Purpley | anyone have an idea? | 06:09 |
| Purpley | mechtech | 06:09 |
| mataks | Gnea, it's only in workspace1.. the checkbox is only on workspace1 not _ all workspace.. i think this is in compiz | 06:09 |
| kyppcgeek | Eric: ? | 06:09 |
| Eric_J1 | Okay, my sound was fine about two days ago | 06:09 |
| Purpley | Well to be honest i know how you do infect a pdf file | 06:09 |
| mechtech | Purpley: yes | 06:09 |
| Purpley | its just that | 06:09 |
| mechtech | ? | 06:09 |
| Eric_J1 | then I get on today | 06:09 |
| Gnea | mataks: does it still occur when you turn compiz off? | 06:09 |
| Eric_J1 | and I have no sound | 06:09 |
| Purpley | I doubt someone would infect this type | 06:09 |
| Purpley | and | 06:09 |
| Purpley | its multiple files | 06:09 |
| kyppcgeek | loose cord? | 06:09 |
| Ademan | does anyone know of the best way to get new kernel versions in jaunty? I want to get 2.6.30 at least, (really i'm looking for a PPA) | 06:09 |
| Eric_J1 | I go to sound preferences after trying to unmute and it gave me an error | 06:09 |

| mataks | Gnea, don't know.. how to turn off compiz? | 06:09 |
| Eric_J1 | it showed no default devices | 06:10 |
| omegamormegil | Xodiac13: I'd check network manager first. Sometimes it just starts working without a restart. If it isn't working yet try the restart. | 06:10 |
| Gnea | mataks: desktop effects | 06:10 |
| Eric_J1 | lspci recognizes the card | 06:10 |
| Xodiac13 | omegamormegil: okay i didnt see anything i will restart brb | 06:10 |

| m0r0n | Ubuntu isint loading as fast as it use to, anyone know what I can do to solve this before it becomes worse | 06:10 |
| Eric_J1 | it was | 06:10 |
| Purpley | But Ive heard linux is a hard OS to infect | 06:10 |
| Purpley | and ive ran a virus scan | 06:10 |
| mataks | Gnea, is that in compiz? | 06:10 |
| rodimus_ | can someoen pleaze tell me what the green dot in the corner of my screen is? | 06:10 |
| Purpley | although they might slip away | 06:11 |
| moymoy | Ademan: there probably isn't any PPA available.. you can try looking for deb files.. there's a great guide to compiling your own, i'll link you in a second (i used this guide myself) | 06:11 |
| Gnea | m0r0n: remove the packages you've installed since then that make it run slower | 06:11 |
| gmachine24 | Purpley, it's mostly that people don't try to infect Linux | 06:11 |
| Purpley | Because its not easy | 06:11 |
| Gnea | mataks: no, click on System->Preferences->something | 06:11 |
| mechtech | Purpley: not hard to infect...infections are rare...most viruses are written to compromize windows, but Mac OS and even linux can still get infections just as easily | 06:11 |
| moymoy | Ademan: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile | 06:11 |
| m0r0n | Gnea: But they don't load on start, how could that make a difference? | 06:11 |
| Gnea | (i forget what something is at the moment) | 06:11 |
| gmachine24 | Purpley, no, because they target MS because it's the biggest and the baddest | 06:11 |
| kyppcgeek | infect linux? lmao ftl | 06:11 |
| linuxguy2009 | rodimus_: Probably pidgin sitting there. You can change your status. | 06:11 |
| Eric_J1 | anyone have any idea how to solve this? | 06:12 |
| gmachine24 | Purpley, the first big viruses in the U.S. hacked Unix systems | 06:12 |
| Gnea | m0r0n: I don't know what programs you've installed... what version of ubuntu are you on? | 06:12 |
| Eric_J1 | it was fine and then it just went crazy | 06:12 |
| rodimus_ | linuxguy2009, how come they didnt come up with something that looks better? | 06:12 |
| rodimus_ | like a real icon. | 06:12 |
| BellinXFelon | how come i don't have any audio output in konqueror? | 06:12 |
| mechtech | gmachine24: more like, if you infect windows machines, you're more likely to get business critical systems to break | 06:12 |
| rodimus_ | instead of green dot | 06:12 |
| m0r0n | Gnea: Jaunty | 06:12 |
| Gnea | kyppcgeek: do you have anything constructive to add to the conversation? | 06:12 |
| linuxguy2009 | rodimus_: If you dont like it, dont use it. Simple. | 06:12 |
| nomad77 | Purpley: if you want reassurance try installing chkrootkit,and,rkhunter and see what results are | 06:12 |
| Ademan | thanks moymoy | 06:12 |
| gmachine24 | mechtech: Indeed. | 06:12 |
| Purpley | Im aware of that, its not hard to infect ubuntu im just simply saying all of these files downloaded from different sources apparently are doing the same thing | 06:13 |
| Gnea | m0r0n: k, where does it seem to be loading slow? | 06:13 |
| Purpley | I would think it would be something else causing this | 06:13 |

| Eric_J1 | kyppcgeek: the sound preferences? | 06:13 |
| gmachine24 | ZeroDay | 06:13 |
| m0r0n | Gnea: Before when I logged in everything was set, now it takes 10sec or so | 06:13 |
| kyppcgeek | yes | 06:13 |
| moymoy | Ademan: no problem | 06:13 |
| Eric_J1 | nothing - the section for Default Devices is just blank and unclickable | 06:13 |
| Eric_J1 | before I had 3 or 4 options | 06:14 |
| Gnea | m0r0n: what happens if you make a new account and login with it? does it login slow or fast after the first time? | 06:14 |
| mechtech | Purpley: the files are probably not infected, they might be doing what an unrelated virus is telling them to do...or that your trash is puking because a virus has made it ill | 06:14 |
| omegamormegil | Purpley: It's much more likely to be a bug or a screwy setting than a virus. Try Shift+Delete. This bypasses the recycle bin with no hope for recovery. | 06:14 |
| Purpley | gmachine24, they hacked unix systems because they were the only thing around that is useful | 06:14 |
| Eric_J1 | one was realtek, one was my sound card, one was my graphics cards, and one was OSS | 06:14 |
| kyppcgeek | terminal -> soundconf or alsaconf | 06:14 |
| Purpley | thanks omegamormegil | 06:14 |
| mataks | Gnea, same.. i turn off compiz but still i can see running application in all workspace | 06:14 |

| Eric_J1 | one sec | 06:14 |
| gmachine24 | Purpley, yes, I know. | 06:14 |
| Purpley | and worth their time | 06:14 |

| Gnea | m0r0n: well, you need to get the PID of the program - just: ps axf by itself and you'll see where it's listed | 06:19 |
| linuxguy2009 | skreech: Do you have the nvidia driver from the repos or manually installed from nvidia.com? | 06:19 |
| === genericcutename is now known as Voss | ||
| moymoy | skreech: the command is nvidia-xconfig .. and it has to be run by root | 06:19 |
| skreech | repos | 06:20 |
| omegamormegil | Linus only works on the kernel. | 06:20 |
| === g-dawg-ghetto-bo is now known as HighAltitudePing | ||
| moymoy | that's what we call GNU/Linux | 06:20 |
| skreech | moymoy: Right xconfig andyes root otherwise it can't make the xorg.conf | 06:20 |
| omegamormegil | or Ubuntu :) | 06:20 |
| Eric_J1 | all right, I think I got something | 06:20 |
| linuxguy2009 | skreech: have you tried disabling teh driver, rebooting and then re-enable it? | 06:20 |
| moymoy | GNUbuntu/Linux =] | 06:20 |
| skreech | linuxguy2009: Yes if you mean what I think you mean | 06:20 |
| Eric_J1 | I ran lshw -C sound, and it showed me that both the Realtek and the Creative Labs cards are "unclaimed" | 06:21 |
| jahocolips | I'm getting Grub error 17, i did sudo fdisk -lu and i get /dev/sdb1 and /dev/sdb2 (/dev/sdb1 has Linux on it, sdb2 is Extended) I can't figure out what I should do | 06:21 |
| Eric_J1 | any idea how to fix that> | 06:21 |
| mechtech | take the creative one...quick! | 06:21 |
| mechtech | LO | 06:21 |
| mechtech | l | 06:21 |
| Eric_J1 | I think it's because of my running virtual box then deleting it when I was done | 06:21 |

| Purpley | oh that reminds me | 06:21 |
| linuxguy2009 | skreech: After you disable it, then reboot what resolution is your monitor using? | 06:21 |
| Wolvez | does anybody knows a program to convert mp3 to m4r in ubuntu ? | 06:21 |
| Purpley | Hey guys is there a way to do something similar to a system restore? | 06:21 |
| skreech | 640x480 | 06:21 |
| linuxguy2009 | Wolvez: You mean m4a? | 06:22 |
| Gnea | Wolvez: you wanto to convert audio to video? | 06:22 |
| linuxguy2009 | Wolvez: m4a<> mp4? | 06:22 |
| Wolvez | linuxguy2009, nopz, m4r | 06:22 |
| mechtech | Purpley: you could copy your kernel to a safe place | 06:22 |
| linuxguy2009 | I mean AAC | 06:22 |
| omegamormegil | Wolvez: VLC probably does it, but I haven't checked. It will transcode just about everything. | 06:22 |
| Wolvez | this is a format for ringtones (apple) | 06:22 |
| aicra | ffmpeg | 06:22 |
| Wolvez | thanks, lets try :) | 06:22 |
| linuxguy2009 | Wolvez: Sound Converter from add/remove is a great transcoder app. | 06:22 |
| skreech | Purpley: snapshot the filesystem | 06:22 |
| Purpley | ahh never mind what im thinking of is impossible | 06:23 |
| skreech | linuxguy2009: Actually I just rolled back the driver to 173 instead of 180 | 06:23 |
| Purpley | When I installed linux I overwrote an encrypted bootloader | 06:23 |
| mechtech | adios | 06:23 |
| skreech | Purpley: probably not :) | 06:23 |
| skreech | ah no that's probably hosed then | 06:23 |
| Purpley | So i was wondering if i could restore everything so it was as if linux was never installed and the bootloader was still there | 06:23 |
| Purpley | But linux overwrote it | 06:24 |
| StupidPigeon | linux has a funny way of doing that | 06:24 |
| skreech | linuxguy2009: You meant drop to VESA? | 06:24 |
| skreech | all OSes have a funny way of doing thta.a it's the only way they can be used | 06:24 |
| omegamormegil | Purpley: doubtful | 06:24 |
| linuxguy2009 | skreech: I know nothing of VESA | 06:24 |
| skreech | linuxguy2009: What did you mean then? | 06:25 |
| m0r0n | Gnea: My other account log in fast | 06:25 |
| linuxguy2009 | skreech: Is your driver fixed? | 06:25 |
| omegamormegil | Purpley: Unless you manually backed up your boot sector before installing Linux, or imaged your hard drive. | 06:26 |
| Gnea | m0r0n: then you've got something in your home directory that's chewing up hard drive space | 06:26 |
| skreech | what do you mean fixed? | 06:26 |
| Purpley | So im stuck with linux but to be honest after a week or two of getting used to it; its not that bad its actually alot better considering the fact although not as many programs are available for ubuntu than windows it makes up for that with its speed and reliability | 06:26 |
| skreech | I would guess so It's the one I was using before nvidia went nuts | 06:26 |
| linuxguy2009 | skreech: Forget it, I cant help you. | 06:26 |
| skreech | But now I can't set my resolution | 06:26 |
| skreech | even if I set it manually then it still only gives me the option of 640x480 | 06:26 |
| Purpley | omegamormegil, I backed up the bootloader but for some reason when i inserted it, it was a ubuntu live cd how ironic considering the fact i could never find where i placed my live cd :) | 06:27 |
| Eric_J1 | okay last question - how do I revert my linux kernal? | 06:27 |
| === StupidPigeon is now known as nickhere | ||
| skreech | Eric_J1: reboot and choose the old kernel | 06:27 |
| Eric_J1 | not sure if this will work, but on the forums, it said that was where their issues lay | 06:28 |
| Eric_J1 | brb | 06:28 |
| ecret | I am unable to record audio in flash. I tried 10 and 9. I am able to record in audacity/wavplayer. I read that there is issues with it and you can change the index of the alsa-base to fix it but I am new at this and have no clue. Itried trial and error and failed. http://pastebin.ca/1514544 Can someone please take a look? | 06:28 |
| linuxguy2009 | ecret: Youyr trying to record audio to flash format? | 06:29 |
| m0r0n | If I have Transmission running on another account but I just click switch user, will it keep torrenting? | 06:29 |
| skreech | yes | 06:29 |
| sy1 | hello? | 06:29 |
| sy1 | A/S/L | 06:29 |
| ecret | linuxguy2009: trying to use ustream to record audio for example or use flexbuilder to make a recorder | 06:29 |
| skreech | !hi | sy1 | 06:30 |
| ubottu | sy1: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 06:30 |
| sy1 | I have a problem | 06:30 |
| sy1 | my ubuntu does not want to slepp nor standby | 06:30 |
| linuxguy2009 | ecret: I have no clue what ustream or flexbuilder are. Im clueless. | 06:30 |
| sy1 | it can do sleep and standby | 06:30 |
| sy1 | but i will not wake up | 06:30 |
| linuxguy2009 | sy1: How are you attempting to wake it up | 06:31 |
| professor_ | have a look through dmesg and /var/log/messages for any errors around the dates and times you tried | 06:31 |
| ecret | some flash sites supports recording live audio, cant get it working in ubuntu | 06:31 |
| sy1 | i press the key board | 06:31 |
| linuxguy2009 | sy1: Does the PC start to respond at all? | 06:31 |
| sy1 | or mouse | 06:31 |
| sy1 | no | 06:31 |
| linuxguy2009 | sy1: Not sure but have you tried the power button instead? | 06:31 |
| sy1 | just a blank screen with a flashing '_' | 06:32 |
| sy1 | flashing underscore | 06:32 |
| linuxguy2009 | sy1: Yeah i figured. umm | 06:32 |
| linuxguy2009 | sy1: 9.04? | 06:32 |
| sy1 | yes | 06:32 |
| linuxguy2009 | sy1: All current updates? | 06:32 |
| sy1 | yes | 06:32 |
| linuxguy2009 | sy1: Has it ever worked on that machine before with 9.04 installed? | 06:33 |
| omegamormegil | sy1: I had the same problem before. Suspend works great for me in the next version. I believe that in Jaunty, I can't suspend when I have an SD card in my internal card slot. | 06:33 |
| sy1 | i thought if it was acpi | 06:33 |
| sy1 | setting | 06:33 |
| sy1 | not really linux guy | 06:34 |
| === _MrsApple_ is now known as _MrApple_ | ||
| sy1 | so this is bug inside jaunty ? | 06:34 |
| sy1 | maybe it is the mainboard problem | 06:34 |
| linuxguy2009 | sy1: Hard to say, might be incompatible hardware. 8.04 LTS has had many updates might work better if you really need those features. | 06:34 |
| sy1 | since power acpi is related to apm | 06:35 |
| skreech | Does anyone know what would cause the resolution to be ignored inside of the xorg.conf ? | 06:35 |
| brEz | anyone know if you can ssh to ubuntu running on virtualbox from windows? | 06:35 |
| sy1 | ok linux guy | 06:35 |
| sy1 | thanks | 06:35 |
| sy1 | uh | 06:35 |
| sy1 | another problem tho | 06:35 |

| muji | ihi | 06:35 |
| sy1 | i have installed firefox 3.5.1 | 06:35 |
| moymoy | brEz: it's possible | 06:35 |
| sy1 | but the problem is that the right click does not work ? | 06:36 |
| professor_ | skreech: if monitor resolution is not detected and / or coded in to xorg.conf? | 06:36 |
| brEz | why is it so damn hard than :) ? | 06:36 |
| moymoy | brEz: you probably have to open the ssh port on windows as well | 06:36 |
| linuxguy2009 | sy1: Right click doesnt work for what exactly? | 06:36 |
| brEz | I have | 06:36 |
| skreech | professor_: No both occured and I still only get 640x480 | 06:36 |
| moymoy | brEz: do you have sshd installed? | 06:36 |
| brEz | 22/22 is open on my router/windows/ubuntu | 06:36 |
| brEz | sure do :) | 06:36 |
| professor_ | anything informative in the x log? | 06:36 |
| moymoy | can you ssh localhost? | 06:37 |
| brEz | I used to ssh to ubuntu all the time, and just found virtualbox, so i instaled it on my main pc :) | 06:37 |
| sy1 | inside firefox 3.5 | 06:37 |
| omegamormegil | brEz: Does the virtual Ubuntu box have it's own IP address on your LAN? | 06:37 |
| brEz | omegamormegil: yes | 06:37 |
| sy1 | so i uninstalled and installed again the 3.0.12 | 06:37 |
| linux | hello | 06:37 |
| sy1 | and then it works why is it like that ? | 06:37 |
| linuxguy2009 | sy1: What are you trying to use the right mouse button for in ff ? | 06:37 |
| brEz | on the virtualbox, i can ssh -l user -p 22 localhost | 06:37 |
| brEz | and it connects, but when I try via putty.... no dice ;o | 06:37 |
| xhres2 | hey guys | 06:38 |
| skreech | professor_: can't find the monitors EDID module is the only thing I can think of | 06:38 |
| xhres2 | just a quick question? | 06:38 |
| omegamormegil | Do you see in on the network from your windows machine? | 06:38 |
| moymoy | brEz: have you ifconfig to see what your LAN ip is? | 06:38 |
| sy1 | for the normal open new link thing | 06:38 |
| brEz | yes | 06:38 |
| professor_ | that has been a problem for me in the past but not recently | 06:38 |
| skreech | ask | xhres2 | 06:38 |
| linuxguy2009 | xhres2: dont ask to ask. Just ask. | 06:38 |
| professor_ | did you change monitors? | 06:38 |
| professor_ | anything else changed or is this a new install? | 06:38 |
| skreech | professor_: Nothing changed except Ubuntu | 06:38 |
| xhres2 | will using shred once to zero fill a hard disk ensure enough safty to send it for replacement | 06:38 |
| professor_ | please look through xorg.conf and advise of anything unusual too | 06:38 |
| professor_ | google your monitor brand and model + ubuntu too - see if something pops up | 06:39 |
| moymoy | brEz: give me your WAN .. mayhaps I can try to connect to see if there's any luck =p (jk) | 06:39 |
| xhres2 | skreech: are u using an nvidia graphic card? | 06:39 |
| moymoy | brEz: don't know what to say.. can't help you | 06:39 |
| professor_ | some monitors have poor EDID implementations | 06:39 |
| linuxguy2009 | xhres2: unless you have illegal child porn or secret FBI files. Dont worry about it. | 06:39 |
| omegamormegil | brEz: You could try running nmap on Ubuntu's IP to see if port 22 is open. | 06:39 |

| brEz | moymoy: yep - believe there's something you need to do to enable ssh on a guest account.. just unfamiliar as to what | 06:40 |
| linuxguy2009 | hehe | 06:40 |
| brEz | "connection refused" | 06:40 |
| moymoy | brEz: there shouldn't be anything extra to do.. because ssh works in my virtual machine | 06:40 |

| moymoy | brEz: you can do a tracert from your windows computer to your virtual's IP and see if it gets through all the way | 06:42 |
| professor_ | please look through /var/log/messages for anything informative | 06:42 |
| omegamormegil | brEz: If the port is open, and you have the right IP address, and you have ssh-server installed in Ubuntu, everything should just work. | 06:42 |

| linuxguy2009 | sy1: is it a deb or .run or what? | 06:43 |
| brEz | omegamormegil: i know, that's the anonying part. I've used ssh for years and never had this problem on anything other than virtualbox | 06:43 |

| chenran | hi | 06:44 |
| linuxguy2009 | Sp0d: What do you want your script to do? | 06:44 |
| DarkMage26 | How do I convert .vob files into another format like .avi? | 06:44 |
| brEz | I did, the virtualbox isn't even visibile in a "net view" | 06:44 |

| ShapeShifter499 | I got a queston, I have compiz and the needed managers, I want to have more than one virtual desktop, when I put 4 virtual desktops in the compiz it messes up, I noticed when I went to desktop 2, the top bar went messing and I couldn't get any right clicks to work on the desktop but the bottom bar was there so I used that to go back to desktop 1 now why did that happen? | 06:44 |
| moymoy | Sp0d: just ask what you want | 06:45 |
| professor_ | skreech: your current xorg.conf does not seem to have any resolutions defined? | 06:45 |
| linuxguy2009 | DarkMage26: Pitivi is cool or there are others like handbrake that can do MP4 encodes. Lots of others on Add/remove | 06:45 |
| rww | Tniffoc: Unless Apple release an SDK for Windows and/or Linux, you'll need a Mac. As far as I know, there isn't any way to run XCode on Linux. | 06:45 |
| Sp0d | i want it to give me the option to run different scripts i wrote like "press 1 to start service A, press 2 to start service B" | 06:45 |
| skreech | professor_: Nope but the old one did | 06:45 |
| moymoy | brEz: can you browse the internet from your virtual box? | 06:45 |
| Sp0d | i can print the menu | 06:45 |
| omegamormegil | brEz: Ah. Check the networking settings in the VirtualBox configuration window. It needs to be set to Host networking. | 06:45 |
| Sp0d | but after the selection it just closes | 06:45 |
| skreech | I was hoping the Autoconfig would take care of it | 06:45 |
| professor_ | skreech: smart move keeping the old one | 06:45 |
| brEz | yea I can... | 06:46 |
| linuxguy2009 | DarkMage26: The pitivi in the repos is old manually installing the newer version mentioned on there site is much better. | 06:46 |
| professor_ | skreech: try swapping the two | 06:46 |
| brEz | can browse the itnernet | 06:46 |
| kub1 | Xorg just started using 100% %CPU on one of my cores in a quad core Phenom II, & slowing the system to a crawl. Running KUb 904 64 bit. running the latest launchpad ppa kde 4.3? apt updated yesterday. Is this a known issue? | 06:46 |
| skreech | professor_: Just did and rebooted | 06:46 |
| professor_ | skreech: but also still google that model and ubuntu to see if anyone else has had problems? | 06:46 |
| sy1 | skreech | 06:46 |
| Eric_J1 | okay, I reverted to the .13 kernel, and that didn't work for different reasons | 06:46 |
| kbp | does anyone know how to make Ubuntu Server become Video Streaming Server? which program? | 06:46 |
| sy1 | What was the step again ? | 06:46 |
| moymoy | brEz: that is the darndest thing | 06:46 |
| Eric_J1 | I still cannot see my sound cards on this kernel | 06:46 |
| professor_ | skreech: smart move for using binary nvidia drivers too | 06:46 |
| omegamormegil | kbp: Use VLC | 06:46 |
| skreech | syi Sudo dpkg -i /path/to/deb | 06:47 |
| professor_ | skreech: so old conf file doesn't help eh? | 06:47 |
| ShapeShifter499 | well? | 06:47 |
| skreech | professor_: Nope everything works except that it only has 640x480 | 06:47 |
| brEz | omegamormegil: how would I do that? everything looks normal | 06:47 |
| sy1 | sorry I have that | 06:47 |
| kbp | omegamormegil: thank you I will google it | 06:47 |
| skreech | Even if I take that out of the old file and restart X I only get 640x480 | 06:48 |
| Eric_J1 | anyone? | 06:48 |
| professor_ | skreech: what has google turned up with that model and ubuntu | 06:48 |
| moymoy | Sp0d: paste what you have so far on pastebin | 06:48 |
| professor_ | skreech: you should not take out any files, just swap them around so one is always named xorg.conf, backing up the other | 06:48 |
| moymoy | !paste | Sp0d | 06:48 |
| ubottu | Sp0d: 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 | 06:48 |
| linuxguy2009 | Eric_J1: If your soundcards dont show then the kernel doesnt support them.That simple. | 06:48 |
| skreech | professor_: Crap load of errors. including the one I saw with the refresh being wrong and the resolution being gimped . The wirkaround doesn't seem to work with me | 06:48 |
| Eric_J1 | damn... | 06:48 |
| forces | hello? | 06:48 |
| professor_ | skreech: so others have had problems with that monitor on ubuntu? | 06:49 |
| Eric_J1 | any idea when that will be fixed? | 06:49 |
| squiggie | can anyone help me with a simple shell script? | 06:49 |
| * skreech shurgs. Some monitor like this. Sony and JVC and such | 06:49 | |
| linuxguy2009 | Eric_J1: What cards? | 06:49 |
| forces | how can I disable the gnome keyring? | 06:49 |
| ShapeShifter499 | nvm I think I'm good now | 06:49 |
| ShapeShifter499 | bye | 06:49 |
| professor_ | skreech: some monitors have poor EDID and they make up for it in Windows drivers or something | 06:49 |
| Eric_J1 | Creative Labs X-Fi Fatal1ty and Realtek '97 | 06:49 |
| moymoy | squiggie: go ahead and tell us what you want the script to do | 06:49 |
| linuxguy2009 | Eric_J1: Realtek should work out of the box. X-Fi is a no go for sure. | 06:50 |
| skreech | professor_: Right but it was workng right up until Ubuntu decided to install some packages silently | 06:50 |
| tbryant | I just installed Ubuntu 9.04, but when I try to "sudo apt-get upgrade" most things went through, but I have some packages that didn't upgrade and won't, and I can't run Firefox. | 06:50 |
| professor_ | just keep trying searching google for a while and let me know how you go, I have had this problem in the past with a Viewsonic monitor too | 06:50 |
| professor_ | were you using binary nvidia drivers previously? | 06:50 |
| skreech | This is a dell monitor could be anythign behind it :) | 06:50 |
| Eric_J1 | they were working fine until a day or two ago | 06:50 |
| professor_ | how old is your install? | 06:50 |
| skreech | Yes | 06:50 |
| Eric_J1 | both | 06:50 |
| linuxguy2009 | Eric_J1: Creative has beta X-Fi drivers thats about all there is from what I hear. | 06:50 |
| professor_ | skreech: did you customise or install anything not from synaptic? | 06:50 |
| omegamormegil | brEz: In the VirtualBox settings for that VM, go to the āNetworkā page and select āHost Interfaceā in the drop down list for the āAttached toā field. | 06:51 |
| skreech | professor_: Yes but 173. I had the machine running for a few days and came home and rebooted to find a 180 driver and no X | 06:51 |
| linuxguy2009 | Eric_J1: What did you change? | 06:51 |
| squiggie | moymoy: itunes has seemed to created a lot of duplicates on my audio folder and it appended most of them with a 1 so i just need to loop through each folder in the library deleting *1.mp3 | 06:51 |
| professor_ | skreech: change any config files previously | 06:51 |
| Eric_J1 | I think I was using those, but I've had sound for the last month os so that I was using ubuntu | 06:51 |
| professor_ | skreech: well that's a good start | 06:51 |
| skreech | professor_: Nope Ubuntu did a silent upgrade to 180 driver | 06:51 |
| Eric_J1 | the only thing I can think of was that I installed Virtual Box | 06:51 |
| professor_ | skreech: it narrows it down | 06:51 |
| Eric_J1 | but I've played games with sound since then | 06:51 |
| Cryptic_Donkey | tbryant, Have you tried using the xmission mirrors? | 06:51 |
| professor_ | skreech: upgrades shouldn't happen automatically unless you tell it | 06:51 |
| === Guest63000 is now known as Homer|ZzZz | ||
| moymoy | squiggie: you don't need a shell script to do that.. one line of command will suffice | 06:51 |
| Cryptic_Donkey | tbryant, Have you tried using the xmission mirrors? | 06:51 |
| professor_ | skreech: google version 180 driver with that monitor model see what happens please | 06:51 |
| linuxguy2009 | Eric_J1: So sound just wont work in virtualbox or on your main ubuntu system itself? | 06:51 |
| jigpe | hello how to install windowsxp in ubuntu (dual boot) i already install ubuntu and use all space for ubuntu.. | 06:51 |
| skreech | Which has issues with my video card. it sets the range pretty high for refresh so X doesn't work | 06:52 |
| brEz | omegamormegil: I definatly don't have that :P | 06:52 |
| Eric_J1 | it stopped working once I deleted the Virtual Box partitions | 06:52 |
| tbryant | Cryptic_Donkey, no, going to try that now. | 06:52 |
| sebsebseb | jigpe: What do you want to use XP for? | 06:52 |
| linuxguy2009 | jigpe: Install Windows then Linux, in that order. | 06:52 |
| skreech | I fixed that then found the resolution was shot. Found out I had the 180 driver and rolled back to 173 | 06:52 |
| squiggie | moymoy: i have the ls -R | grep 1.mp3 but how do I delete them? | 06:52 |
| professor_ | skreech: what video card | 06:52 |
| professor_ | skreech: google that and ubuntu too | 06:52 |
| sebsebseb | linuxguy2009: it can be done the other way round to, and sometimes it's way better to recommend a virtual machine | 06:52 |
| Eric_J1 | I am assuming it had something to do with the Kernel updates, since I think it was a recent thing, but no idea | 06:52 |
| skreech | nvidia 5200 Geforce FX | 06:52 |
| moymoy | squiggie: find /path/to/music/folder -type f -name '*1.mp3' -exec rm -v '{}' \; | 06:52 |
| omegamormegil | brEz: What version of VirtualBox are you running? | 06:52 |
| professor_ | skreech: similar to me and it works | 06:52 |
| professor_ | skreech: worst case scenario - would a fresh install kill you? | 06:53 |
| Sp0d | okay here it goes, and yes im new to this :P http://paste.ubuntu.com/240915/ | 06:53 |
| squiggie | moymoy: thanks, i will give that a try | 06:53 |
| skreech | professor_: Right and it has a workaround for the problem But that doesn't work either | 06:53 |
| sebsebseb | linuxguy2009: sometimes? a lot of the time more like it, unless they are a Windows 3D gamer | 06:53 |
| linuxguy2009 | sebsebseb: Well dont tell me, I already know that. Tell eric | 06:53 |
| professor_ | skreech: if google does not turn anything up which I think it should | 06:53 |
| linuxguy2009 | hehe | 06:53 |
| skreech | professor_: No but then I would just install karmic :-p | 06:53 |
| professor_ | skreech: | 06:53 |
| sebsebseb | linuxguy2009: is that his name? | 06:53 |
| professor_ | skreech: what was the workaround - link please | 06:53 |
| brEz | omegamormegil: 3.0.2 | 06:53 |
| skreech | Hold on | 06:53 |
| linuxguy2009 | Eric_J1: | 06:53 |
| sebsebseb | jigpe: see the messages above that I put to linuxguy2009 | 06:53 |
| moymoy | squiggie: no problem | 06:53 |
| tbryant | Cryptic_Donkey, same errors. | 06:53 |
| sy1 | is gnome better or kde ? | 06:53 |
| Eric_J1 | ? | 06:53 |

| DarkMage26 | linuxguy2009: how do I use pitivi to convert the vob files? | 06:54 |
| Eric_J1 | Linuxguy: there was no text | 06:54 |
| sy1 | which more stable ? | 06:54 |
| tate | I renamed my home directory by mistake, now I am unable to login. Is there a way yo create a user with administrative privileges using sudo. | 06:54 |
| linuxguy2009 | sy1: Try em both. You decide. We cant decide for you. | 06:54 |
| sebsebseb | sy1: Gnome and KDE 3 the older version :) | 06:54 |
| skreech | sy1: The one you like best is better | 06:54 |
| sebsebseb | sy1: KDE 4 is not very stable | 06:54 |
| sy1 | what is new ? | 06:54 |
| sebsebseb | sy1: or whatever | 06:54 |
| sy1 | and stable | 06:54 |
| skreech | sebsebseb: ha ha :) | 06:54 |
| skreech | KDE4 is pretty stable | 06:54 |
| omegamormegil | brEz: I didn't know that version existed :P | 06:54 |
| sebsebseb | skreech: why? | 06:54 |
| sy1 | waht about using XFS ? | 06:54 |
| sy1 | on these ? | 06:54 |
| sy1 | KDE or Gnome ? | 06:54 |
| sy1 | Will it be better ? | 06:55 |
| jigpe | ok thanks | 06:55 |
| squiggie | moymoy: looks like that worked. that was easier than i thought! Thanks. | 06:55 |
| linuxguy2009 | DarkMage26: Ah you need to search for documentation. | 06:55 |
| sebsebseb | sy1: XFS on Ubuntu hmm does gparted even support that the Ubuntu gparted | 06:55 |
| Eric_J1 | hello? | 06:55 |
| rob__ | #channels | 06:55 |
| tate | I have created one user, wc I am using now but this user has no admin privileges | 06:55 |
| brEz | omegamormegil: must be new? I got it today | 06:55 |
| moymoy | squiggie: no problem.. come back again if you have any problems! | 06:55 |
| sy1 | i see | 06:55 |
| tbryant | Cryptic_Donkey, xulrunner-1.9, firefox-3.0, firefox-3.0-branding, firefox, xulrunner-1.9-gnome-support, firefox-3.0-gnome-support, firefox-gnome-support are the errors | 06:55 |
| sy1 | so will we have a chance to use xfs ? | 06:55 |
| tate | I have created one user, wc I am using now but this user has no admin privileges | 06:55 |
| sy1 | for ubuntu ? | 06:55 |
| sebsebseb | sy1: maybe with the alternate CD or something, you may want to do Ext4 instead :) | 06:55 |
| tbryant | Cryptic_Donkey, I get a bunch of errors like "dpkg: error processing firefox-gnome-support (--configure):" | 06:55 |
| tate | >I renamed my home directory by mistake, now I am unable to login. Is there a way yo create a user with administrative privileges using sudo | 06:56 |
| sebsebseb | sy1: altough some think it's not quite stable enough yet in 9.04, default for 9.10 though# | 06:56 |
| skreech | professor_: https://answers.launchpad.net/dkms/+question/59519 | 06:56 |
| professor_ | please give me half an hour or so | 06:56 |
| skreech | sebsebseb: really? thought they had decided against that | 06:56 |
| Cryptic_Donkey | tbryant, what irc client are you using? | 06:56 |
| sebsebseb | sy1: Ext3 is the default file system at the moment | 06:56 |
| tbryant | XChat | 06:56 |
| tbryant | Cryptic_Donkey, ^^ | 06:56 |
| professor_ | skreech: I'm tossing some weights around and replying between sets :-) will look 4u | 06:56 |
| skreech | professor_: Ok ping me when you get back I'll be trying the other xorg | 06:56 |
| linuxguy2009 | tate: restore your system backup. You do have a system backup right? hehe | 06:56 |
| toyimp | I picked up a GTK2.x theme and for some reason the windows are not transparent like they look in the pic. Why? | 06:56 |
| Purpley | sebastien__, what is the best file system to use? | 06:57 |
| sebsebseb | skreech: yep default for 9.10, which means people that have Ubuntu on Ext3, should clean install Ubuntu for 9.10 and the Ext4 when it's time :) for full Ext4 support | 06:57 |
| omegamormegil | brEz: This version calls it a Bridged Network. | 06:57 |
| Purpley | sebsebseb, what is the best file system to use | 06:57 |
| professor_ | please do try the other conf by renaming it to xorg.conf after backing up the current one just in case, reboot, and look through xorg log | 06:57 |
| Purpley | sorry sebastien__ | 06:57 |
| professor_ | and dmesg / var/log/messages in the meantime | 06:57 |
| linuxguy2009 | toyimp: got compiz going? | 06:57 |
| brEz | omegamormegil: all I have is file > preferences | 06:57 |
| skreech | sebsebseb: Can't you upgrade the flesystem in place? | 06:57 |
| tbryant | I'm getting a bunch of dpkg errors when I try to "sudo apt-get upgrade" my freshly-installed system. Can anyone help? | 06:58 |
| sebsebseb | Purpley: depends on what the computer is being used for, but for home usage, Ext3 is alright for now, Ext4 is on the verge of replacing it though as the default file system for most desktop Linux distros :) | 06:58 |
| skreech | professor_: Xlog I doubt will have anything it thinks 640x480 is just grand | 06:58 |
| Cryptic_Donkey | tbryant, I suguuesg that you force quit all instances of firefox and try the updates again | 06:58 |
| sebsebseb | skreech: yes, but the Ext3 to Ext4 conversion isn't good enough, so for full Ext4 support you must clean install | 06:58 |
| skreech | ok | 06:58 |
| professor_ | skreech: also please look for xorg refresh rates for your monitor | 06:58 |
| toothdecay | hmmm, Audacious or Quod Libet, I can't decide! | 06:58 |
| professor_ | skreech: neither config seems to specify refresh rates (old one is commented out) for some reason, not sure if that is usual | 06:58 |
| tbryant | Cryptic_Donkey, there aren't any instances of Firefox :\ | 06:58 |
| brEz | all my settings are right, I'll just upll my hair out, rather than flood the ubuntu room with offtopic ;P | 06:58 |
| skreech | professor_: because it's way higher than the monitor So all I get is a black screen | 06:59 |
| moymoy | brEz: have you tried ssh from a linux machine to your virtual box? | 06:59 |
| linuxguy2009 | tate: Can you login to your normal account at all? | 06:59 |
| brEz | not yet | 06:59 |
| brEz | I don't think it would make a difference, the virtualbox isn't visible on the network, but I can view the web | 06:59 |
| omegamormegil | brEz: I wish I had it installed. Let me refer you to the user manual - it has detailed instructions. Check out page 86. http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/3.0.2/UserManual.pdf | 07:00 |
| brEz | omegamormegil: thanks for you help :) | 07:00 |
| brEz | moymoy: thanks you 2 :) | 07:00 |
| tate | I do not have a sytem back up | 07:00 |
| Cryptic_Donkey | tbryant, try rebooting in single user mode and doing an apt-guiget upgrade with no | 07:00 |
| toyimp | linuxguy2009, well I just tried starting it. And my windows crapped out. I must have a problem with the current install. Thanks for makin me notice haha | 07:00 |
| omegamormegil | brEz: No problem, hope it helps :) | 07:00 |
| _professor_ | skreech: if this workaround is like yours it is something different, I will need some time to look at it | 07:00 |
| Cryptic_Donkey | tbryant, try rebooting in single user mode and doing an apt-guiget upgrade with no gui | 07:01 |
| linuxguy2009 | tate: Can you login to your normal account at all? | 07:01 |
| tbryant | Cryptic_Donkey, I've tried that. | 07:01 |
| tate | I need to create a user with admin priviledges (or login in as root) | 07:01 |
| _professor_ | skreech: you got those errors discussed int he workaorund? | 07:01 |
| skreech | _professor_: brb reboooting | 07:01 |
| linuxguy2009 | tate: Ok someone else can help ya I feel like im talking to the wall here. hehe | 07:01 |

| linuxguy2009 | BellinXFelon: "gksudo nautilus" then you can change driver permission. | 07:06 |
| skreech | Hmm | 07:06 |
| rbarlow | ubuntu macbook pro 2,2 user | 07:06 |
| skreech | there should be an #ubuntu-mac | 07:06 |
| sy1 | is there a way to burn the ubuntu cd and make it bootable ? | 07:06 |
| linuxguy2009 | BellinXFelon: in nautilus open the drive and then go up a level to the root of the drive is visable as a folder. Right click and go to pewrmissions tab. Set it like you want. | 07:06 |
| professor_ | skreech: do you have a Live CD you can try? be interesting to see if the non binary driver on a live CD has problems | 07:06 |
| sy1 | because i cannot find 800 mb cdr in Malaysia | 07:06 |
| skreech | professor_: oooooooooh good idea | 07:07 |
| professor_ | skreech: and if not if there is anything you could pull out of that xorg conf | 07:07 |
| skreech | ok I'll try that :) | 07:07 |
| sebsebseb | !install | sy1 | 07:07 |

| sy1 | is this possible ? | 07:07 |
| sebsebseb | !usb | sy1 | 07:07 |
| ubottu | sy1: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 07:07 |
| linuxguy2009 | sy1: sure is | 07:07 |
| sebsebseb | sy1: yes you can burn it to DVD | 07:07 |
| professor_ | skreech: try a non ubuntu live cd too if you ahve one lying around | 07:07 |
| skreech | I have a SUSE | 07:08 |
| sy1 | what software to use to burn to dvd ? | 07:08 |
| professor_ | skreech: or a USB install like these guys are talking about | 07:08 |
| rbarlow | ammar: previously i've dual booted mac and ubuntu, though right now my mac is running ubuntu and nothing else | 07:08 |
| sy1 | from the cdr copy ? | 07:08 |
| professor_ | skreech: try both then | 07:08 |
| sebsebseb | sy1: Brasero or K3B | 07:08 |
| sy1 | my brasero have problem | 07:08 |
| professor_ | skreech: if anything it will help narrow it down | 07:08 |
| linuxguy2009 | sy1: if you want to use a DVD you can even use up all that extra space by using something like UCK ubuntu customization kit and have all your fav apps installed out of the box. kinda cool to do. | 07:08 |
| sy1 | it does not have the plugin to do that | 07:08 |
| sebsebseb | sy1: try K3B then, and it will want to put on some KDE stuff, if you haven't installed anything KDE before | 07:08 |
| sy1 | uck ubuntu customisation where to find that on the internet ? | 07:09 |
| moymoy | brEz: i didn't do anything =\ but the feeling of fixing something always feels great.. i hope you get your ssh to work.. (do you even care? what do you do in the virtual machine?) | 07:09 |
| sebsebseb | sy1: what? | 07:09 |
| sy1 | i ahve put in kde aleready | 07:09 |
| linuxguy2009 | sy1: add/remove or synaptic its in the repos | 07:09 |
| brEz | moymoy: route all my net connections through ipv6 | 07:10 |
| sy1 | what do i type uck? | 07:10 |
| sy1 | do I type 'uck' ? | 07:10 |

| professor_ | has anyone had any problems VNC'ing in to a KDE / Ubuntu desktop with V9? | 07:13 |
| linuxguy2009 | sebsebseb: Well you take your ISO image and then whatever you can accomplish with the terminal and/or synaptic, you can customize whatever you want. | 07:14 |
| sebsebseb | linuxguy2009: oh I see, so it probably won't quite do what I want, :( ah well | 07:15 |

| zhan_zr | I have cross-compiled a program for my ARM9 board. But it emit "Can't resolve symbol __div0" at runtime. Does anyone know the issue? | 07:15 |
| linuxguy2009 | sebsebseb: There are a few other projects like uck that can let you customize alot more then just apps. cant remeber the names though. | 07:16 |
| Al_nz_lapt | nomad77: k will try it | 07:16 |
| sebsebseb | linuxguy2009: I can get it back in system menu like upstream Gnome, thing is I have to remove their edited version of fusa ( fast user account switcher ) to do it, and I want both, like 8.10 | 07:16 |
| zhan_zr | I have cross-compiled a program for my ARM9 board. But it emit "Can't resolve symbol __div0" at runtime. Does anyone know the issue? | 07:16 |

| introuble | i was here yesterday | 07:25 |
| nomad77 | Al_nz_lapt: no the kernel /boot/vmlinuz etc... that line | 07:26 |
| professor_ | skreech: doesn't look like there is a workaround there and if you tried some of those suggestions I wonder if another possibility would be to drop back to software nvidia driver 'nv' and reinstall the binary drivers from scratch using the restricted or hardware drivers option in ubuntu | 07:26 |
| introuble | and what a bitch the thingy was | 07:26 |
| HalfBloodPrince | Hey, can someone help? | 07:26 |
| skreech | professor_: Hmm maybe | 07:26 |
| OhioEric | hi everyone | 07:27 |
| skreech | HalfBloodPrince: WE don't know | 07:27 |
| HalfBloodPrince | :P | 07:27 |
| professor_ | skreech: disclaimer - I am no expert - just been using Nvidia binary drivers for 10 years on linux | 07:27 |
| HalfBloodPrince | Well I was interested in the 'Dust' GTK+ theme | 07:27 |
| introuble | im on live ubuntu 6.06 install and i fdownloaded 9.04 burned it to a cd but the cd does not work!!!! i try to boot from the cd and it fails, it says no emulation??????? | 07:27 |
| professor_ | skreech: so I have some experience with nvidia binary issues although thankfully they are quite rare nowdays | 07:27 |
| introuble | so how come the cd that i burned with ubuntu 6.06 out of ubuntu 9.04 iso image didnt become bootable? | 07:27 |
| professor_ | all - KDE4 seems to be stable on ubuntu although some plasma apps like to crash | 07:27 |
| introuble | pls help.... ^ | 07:28 |
| professor_ | I need to read up on ubuntu and KDE in general I think | 07:28 |
| HalfBloodPrince | When i installed ubuntu Dust was already available, though not "fancy". i tried installing the downloaded one it says "Can't move directory over directory" | 07:28 |
| moymoy | introuble: did you use brasero? or did that not exist in 6.06? i have no idea | 07:28 |
| introuble | moymoy, i used the built in burner in 6.06 | 07:29 |
| skreech | professor_: Wow I've only been using them for 2 months and I hate them | 07:29 |
| moymoy | HalfBloodPrince: that's because the theme was already installed, and thus the Dust directory was already in your themes folder.. and gnome-appearance-manager couldn't replace it | 07:29 |
| professor_ | skreech: how so | 07:29 |
| moymoy | introuble: maybe you can try using dd to trasfer the image onto disk | 07:29 |
| moymoy | introuble: you should first check the iso for errors anyway... do a md5sum on it to see if it's alright | 07:30 |
| skreech | I've had more trouble with them in two months than the three years of my ATI card | 07:30 |

| === purple is now known as Guest61913 | ||
| brummbaer456 | so i just changed the apache config in my server to run name-based virtual hosts so i can host multiple sites on the same box. everything works great on local machine, but from other pc internal & external i get an err. checking err log shows it's requesting /htdocs instead of /var/www/site1 or site2 | 07:33 |

| brummbaer456 | i checked http.conf, apache2.conf and the /etc/apache2/sites-available/site1 and 2 and everything looks right, anything else i may be missing? | 07:35 |

| skreech | professor_: Well yeah they can't recall the drivers already in the wild :) | 07:42 |
| professor_ | skreech: why would they want to recall the older drivers | 07:43 |
| moymoy | eltume: the linuxmint channel on this server is unofficial it says.. try looking on their website for it instead | 07:43 |
| skreech | professor_: You asked if the support for older cards was still in older drivers | 07:44 |
| skreech | I think.. | 07:44 |

| professor_ | stryker: it's early evening here lol | 07:56 |
| stryker | proffessor_: jaja i know | 07:56 |
| professor_ | moymoy: ah! | 07:56 |
| stryker | proffesor_: i knew someone would say so ;) | 07:57 |
| moymoy | professor_: xD you coulda just had a look at the pastebin yourself =p .. you have good self control | 07:57 |
| professor_ | moymoy: I did | 07:57 |

| aamir | brother i need download manger in ubuntu , can any say me which is the best for downloads application for film and data. | 07:57 |

| professor_ | aamir: hellanzb | 07:58 |
| professor_ | stryker: anything on google? | 07:58 |
| stryker | proffessor_: nope | 07:58 |
| moymoy | professor_: that's fine.. WHOA! which reminds me.. i should link you to a post on ubuntuforums that inspired me .. it's all about the uses of bash scripting.. really interesting | 07:58 |
| moymoy | professor_: lemme findi t | 07:58 |
| owen1 | i try to open firefox but it tells me it's already open, i type: ps aux | grep firefox and see it. when trying to kill it with pkill/killall it say :no process killed, and next time i run ps i see different number. any clues? | 07:58 |
| professor_ | moymoy: please! | 07:58 |
| Suhail | Does this mean: http://dehs.alioth.debian.org/report.php?package=python-mysqldb that's not been packaged yet? | 07:59 |

| moymoy | professor_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=233564 | 08:00 |
| Sp0d | moymoy: it still closes the script no matter which option i choose still. I checked the system monitor and it didn't open the server and hid it either. Thanks for the input though | 08:00 |
| professor_ | thanks!!!! | 08:00 |
| Sudom | moymoy : really ? that's already open, i type : ps aux | grep firefox and see it | 08:00 |
| stryker | professor_: he also says there is a blinking cursor, as if it is waiting for him to write something | 08:00 |
| moymoy | Sp0d: are all the other scripts executable? chmod them? | 08:01 |

| Sp0d | moymoyh: go ahead | 08:01 |
| Sp0d | -h | 08:01 |
| moymoy | rofl | 08:01 |
| professor_ | stryker: could be grub, that's happened to me or something like it | 08:01 |
| nomad77 | owen1: i'd install htop and kill all firefox processes | 08:01 |
| professor_ | stryker: does it look like it gets past the boot loader | 08:02 |
| stryker | proffessor_: it technically hasn't finished restarting | 08:02 |
| moymoy | Sp0d: okay .. if you type in `whereis [` in the terminal, you'll find that it's its own command just like `if` or `mv` or anything else.. same thing applies for `]` | 08:02 |
| stryker | proffessor_: see the thing is, he was doing the same thing with his laptop, and after the restart finished, the laptop's screen has gone dead and it does not show anything, so he's worried he'll mess up the desktop as well | 08:02 |
| moymoy | Sp0d: so at the end of `if [ "$answer" = "1"]` .. you need a space between the quote and ] .. so it should be `" ]` not `"]` | 08:03 |
| addison | anyone here able to help me get cURL enabled? | 08:03 |
| professor_ | stryker: hard reset? can anyone here advise if that is wise | 08:03 |
| moymoy | Sudom: what? what was your problem? | 08:04 |
| professor_ | sp0d: please paste the working script when you get it going | 08:04 |
| Sp0d | haha will do, still checking it though | 08:04 |
| Sp0d | do i need the ` after the ] ? | 08:04 |
| stryker | professor_: im not sure | 08:04 |
| noobswipe | how do i backtick? | 08:04 |
| moymoy | Sp0d: nope.. i like using the tickmarks as quotes when i type in stuff to IRC =p | 08:04 |
| Sp0d | ok thanks | 08:05 |
| moymoy | so | 08:05 |
| moymoy | Sp0d: if [ "$answer" = "1" ] ; then should work fine | 08:05 |

| papul | i want a linux distro that i less than 100 mb download, contains no gui and has irssi | 08:10 |
| papul | got no answer in ##linux | 08:11 |
| drew212 | is anyone able and willing to help me install the ACX drivers? | 08:11 |
| owen1 | nomad77: i don't see firefox. even when searching with / sign i don't see it. | 08:11 |
| nomad77 | well logout/login then i guess | 08:12 |
| stryker | np, just make sure you extract it and and place it under .mozilla/plugins folder in the /home directoy, you might need to make the plugins folder, HalfBloodPrince | 08:12 |
| moymoy | papul: the ubuntu minimal install is 50MB | 08:12 |
| moymoy | papul: has no gui | 08:12 |
| papul | moymoy: can i use irsii with it? | 08:12 |
| nomad77 | gotta go | 08:13 |
| moymoy | papul: i would assume you'd have to install some independencies .. but i think irsii is in the repos, so apt-get'ing it should have it working flawlessly .. and irssi doesn't need graphics to run so you'er good | 08:13 |
| moymoy | papul: but i prefer weechat =p | 08:13 |
| drew212 | anyone willing to help me with the ACX drivers? | 08:14 |
| owen1 | papul: irssi is the best client for irc | 08:14 |
| papul | owen1: i know that | 08:14 |
| owen1 | papul: it has many addons and great channel #irssi | 08:14 |
| papul | irsii needs perl | 08:14 |
| papul | so does ubuntu minimal contains perl | 08:15 |
| owen1 | papul: good luck with the minimal install. let me know how it goes. | 08:15 |
| HalfBloodPrince | stryker, i can't find /.mozilla in /home | 08:15 |
| drew212 | bazhang: are you in the house? | 08:15 |
| papul | owen1: can i install thru pen drive?? | 08:15 |
| moymoy | papul: the package manager handles it.. if perl is a dependency, then it'll be automatically installed by apt or aptitude | 08:15 |
| stryker | HalfBloodPrince: do you have the settings so that the hidden folders are shown? | 08:15 |
| papul | moymoy: ubuntu minimal has apt?? | 08:16 |
| owen1 | papul:i heard it's only possible to install from usb if there is a live cd. not sure if it's true. | 08:16 |
| moymoy | papul: yes, that's why it's a network install.. it downloads all the most recent packages (unless you tell it not to download ANYTHING at all, then it's basically just the linux kernel and some of the ubuntu stuff like apt) | 08:16 |
| papul | moymoy: thats great | 08:17 |
| stryker | .mozilla is a hidden folder halfbloodprince, open home and lick on Edit>Preferences | 08:17 |
| stryker | Phantom1654: hey bro :P | 08:17 |
| Phantom1654 | Heyas | 08:17 |
| moymoy | papul: exactly what are you trying to do anyway? you just want a portable CLI IRC client? | 08:18 |
| drew212 | nobody willing to help me install the ACX drivers? | 08:18 |
| owen1 | papul: a week ago i was trying to create a netbootin (usb install) of the alternate CD, but it didn't work, eventualy i used xubuntu. | 08:18 |
| papul | moymoy: yeah | 08:18 |
| Phantom1654 | Anyone here can help me out I will appreciate it very much | 08:18 |
| stryker | HalfBloodPrince: you got that done? | 08:18 |
| papul | moymoy: i will pm u | 08:18 |
| moymoy | papul: that's too troublesome.. if i were to do that, i'd do it a different way | 08:18 |
| moymoy | okay' | 08:18 |
| Phantom1654 | I got an Acer Aspire 5920 with a Nvidia GeForce 8600 GT video card | 08:18 |
| Phantom1654 | and I did the driver activation for it | 08:19 |
| owen1 | papul: but i don't use xubuntu, i login to a text-based machine | 08:19 |
| Phantom1654 | and now the monitor on my laptop doesnt turn on | 08:19 |

| moymoy | Phantom1654: can you ssh into that machine? .. whenever you install nvidia drivers, they change the xorg.conf.. but fortunately, it makes a backup first.. you can try to use the backed up xorg.conf to see if you have any luck | 08:26 |

| moymoy | night | 08:30 |
| stronze | anyone got a suggestion for my question? | 08:30 |
| moymoy | Phantom1654: if not even the bios shows.. it's almost definitely hardware | 08:30 |
| Suhail | legend2440: I am trying to build MySQLdb (python module) from source not install MySQL.... | 08:31 |
| Phantom1654 | moymoy: Yeah I figured the video card could be turned off or burnt I wish the first one | 08:31 |
| moymoy | =\ | 08:31 |
| drew212 | anyone willing to help me compile the ACX source? | 08:31 |
| HektoR | hey guys ... is there any way to install IE tab for FireFox on ubuntu ? | 08:31 |
| moymoy | Phantom1654: on the bright side.. what if it's just your monitor broken? or just a loose connection for opening your lid up too much (laptop right?) .. in that case you should try plugging in svideo or whatever to your TV to see if it works | 08:32 |
| stronze | hektor - im pretty sure there is an add-on in firefox that has IE tab | 08:32 |
| Phantom1654 | moymoy: Also I thought of the auto BIOS reset. If the laptop is left without energy for more than 72 hours it does a reset | 08:32 |
| moymoy | Phantom1654: 3 days is a long time =[ | 08:33 |
| Phantom1654 | moymoy: I tried connecting it to a external monitor and it doesn't show any images neither the BIOS | 08:33 |
| HektoR | stronze, yes but for ubuntu ? | 08:33 |
| Phantom1654 | moymoy: it's been around 2 and a half so I am good | 08:33 |
| g3d | hi, I'm looking for a livecd distribution for simple, everyday use: web browsing, simple office documents, pdf, etc. basically a web-browsing terminal. Would Ubuntu live-cd fit? | 08:33 |
| moymoy | Phantom1654: then the bios reset is probably your best bet .. xD a little more waiting to go | 08:33 |
| sash_ | g3d: depends on your hardware, but ubuntu-live can all this | 08:34 |
| Pe3k | hello, I have problems with pure-ftpd installation http://paste.ubuntu.com/241111/ | 08:34 |
| g3d | sash_: 17'' laptop with c2d and 2GB ram | 08:34 |
| Phantom1654 | moymoy: Yeah I am doing so much stuff on this pc ( studying Computer Engineering Technology ) and I need it badly because I need to read an e-book | 08:35 |
| drew212 | anyone willing to help me install some ACX drivers? | 08:35 |
| sash_ | g3d: allright, shouldnt be a problem ;) | 08:35 |
| maurice | sdcsqc | 08:35 |
| g3d | sash_: point is, it's for somebody who is not proficient with computers who I want to allow using my laptop occasionally without that person or me having to worry about breaking anything (and touching my files). | 08:35 |
| diddy | Why do you write:Send stdout and stderr to file: prog > file 2>&1 and not prog 2>&1 file ??? | 08:36 |
| michael | hi | 08:36 |
| moymoy | Phantom1654: that sucks =\ i hope the BIOS reset works.. but you better start saving up some money just in case | 08:36 |
| sash_ | g3d: tipp: create links to often used programs (firefox, openoffice, vlc) on the desktop | 08:36 |
| drew212 | anyone willing to help me install the ACX driver? | 08:37 |
| michael | hello i am having a problem | 08:37 |
| Pe3k | is there any command (dpkg ...) which can help? (http://paste.ubuntu.com/241111/) | 08:37 |
| moymoy | !ask | michael | 08:37 |
| ubottu | michael: 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. :-) | 08:37 |
| g3d | sash_: yeah, that's what I was planning to do, but would that get saved somehow between sessions? | 08:37 |
| michael | i cant get on my wireless network | 08:37 |
| Phantom1654 | moymoy: I know lolz at least the Hard Drive and Ram is working | 08:37 |
| sash_ | g3d: not per default. you must create a "persistent live system" on a usb-stick | 08:37 |

| moymoy | Phantom1654: the non-free one i think.. but i usually just download the deb from adobe's website | 08:39 |
| Crazyguy | stronze, http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=php+tutorial&aq=f&oq=&aqi=g10 | 08:39 |

| bazhang | Paschu, some of those are quite nice. none will be identical to the windows app you want. | 09:14 |
| linxeh | free software is good, but its not up to vegas standards though (yet) | 09:15 |

| linxeh | Kino is fairly good | 09:15 |
| bazhang | !minimal | papul_ | 09:15 |
| ubottu | papul_: 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).

| Paschu | i tried renoise 2.0 on my windows computer | 09:30 |
| ctb619 | I tried to install Ubuntu 8.10 in a dual boot set-up with windows xp. Once Ubuntu finished installing, I was no longer able to boot with windows. So I booted with my windows recovery cd and tried to fix the boot. Subsequent to that I was no longer able to boot to Ubuntu, and when I tried to re-install Ubuntu it ended with this: ""end trace 45d20ac5406a2fd" and a blinking cursor. | 09:30 |
| linxeh | Paschu: you may also like to investigate linuxsampler | 09:30 |
| Machtin | i'll check, gimme a sec | 09:30 |
| Set_Killer | DOES ubuntu liveCD runs the propertiate ati drivers | 09:31 |
| mechtech | Paschu: now, if you have a midi interface and an old keyboard, you can use it as a midi controller | 09:31 |
| legend2440 | Machtin: you can check here http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ | 09:31 |

| Paschu | i dont know what you are talking about :D | 09:31 |
| Machtin | agh, sorry. | 09:31 |
| linxeh | mechtech: I have various new midi keyboards I use as sound sources, rather than as controllers :) | 09:31 |
| mechtech | Set_Killer: from what I can tell installed linux has no "correct"ATI drivers | 09:31 |

| Paschu | :D | 09:32 |

| mechtech | falx: what video chipset? | 09:33 |
| bazhang | Set_Killer, is that card a radeonhd? if not then the OSS drivers are the best option right now | 09:33 |
| spartan07 | is there something that can run on 9.04 to replace root-tail? | 09:33 |
| bazhang | Set_Killer, ie fglrx does not work | 09:33 |
| Set_Killer | :( | 09:33 |
| linxeh | mechtech: yeah - though I never really got the whole online jam thing, I like playing in the same room more :) | 09:33 |
| mechtech | Set_Killer: you can thank ATI for not developing linux drivers for that | 09:34 |
| spartan07 | i can't get root-tail to display on 9.04. has anyone got it to work? | 09:34 |
| mechtech | linxeh: didn't even know that was possible...was joking | 09:34 |
| Set_Killer | mechtech, but oss ati drivers are not good with gamez (nexuiz, wine) | 09:34 |
| krishna_ | !APTFIX | 09:35 |
| ubottu | If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: Ā« sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a Ā» | 09:35 |
| krishna_ | !aptfix | 09:35 |
| linxeh | mechtech: oh :) theres some jam software that you configure a fixed length, say 32 bars, and people jam over it then it streams the audio to the others in time (or something) | 09:35 |
| linxeh | cant remember what its called though | 09:35 |
| mechtech | Set_Killer: yeah...ati support is janky to say the least...shame too considering how many linux users have their hardware | 09:35 |

| iceroot | kindofabuzz: like proftpd | 09:51 |
| bazhang | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages hrickards | 09:51 |
| hrickards | iceroot: lives (and lives-data, libweed0 and libweed-dev, all from same source package). It still needs to be manually added to the override file, which I'm told takes about a week. | 09:51 |

| carboy87 | i dont know it like when everything on the screen iis huge! | 09:53 |
| carboy87 | like really big | 09:53 |

| diddy | ikonia, this is a test question. | 09:55 |
| grawity | diddy: Yes, they mean that the password is stored in '/etc/shadow'. | 09:55 |

| diddy | ikonia, OK | 09:56 |
| grawity | diddy: Ah, hmm | 09:56 |
| ueaoueoaaoeo | that would be great | 09:56 |
| allquixotic | carboy87: Then something has changed on your system lately -- you might have performed an upgrade, installed third party software, accidentally deleted some files... | 09:56 |

| carboy87 | yes | 09:57 |
| carboy87 | i had to turn it off | 09:57 |
| allquixotic | carboy87: That's called a kernel panic. | 09:57 |
| carboy87 | and restart manually] | 09:57 |
| carboy87 | kernal panic | 09:57 |
| ueaoueoaaoeo | i dont like having to reboot and load a whole other distro to back up. has anyone found a better way??? | 09:57 |
| bazhang | Paschu, install it | 09:57 |
| allquixotic | carboy87: When you experience a kernel panic, it's possible that you might lose data if the operating system has recently written to a file that hasn't been pushed out to disk. | 09:58 |
| Paschu | i havent ubuntu installed yet | 09:58 |
| Paschu | i said that more than 5 times xD | 09:58 |
| allquixotic | carboy87: If you installed updates using Update Manager shortly before the panic, it's possible that the updates were only partially committed, which might put the graphics driver in a bad state. | 09:58 |
| bazhang | Paschu, please chat in #ubuntu-offtopic ; here is support ONLY | 09:58 |
| Paschu | ah k | 09:58 |

| legend2440 | ueaoueoaaoeo: i used these instruction to add entry to menu'lst that when i choose it it does what you are asking http://opensuse.swerdna.org/suserescuecd.html | 09:59 |
| carboy87 | ive been using this program since it first came out | 09:59 |
| allquixotic | carboy87: Well, something _has_ certainly changed on your system to cause the graphics driver to go from a working state to a non working state. Without examining your configuration more closely, I can't tell you exactly what happened. But the kernel panic is indicative of possible data loss. | 10:00 |
| ueaoueoaaoeo | legend2440 i did the same with parted magic instead of srcd | 10:00 |
| ueaoueoaaoeo | loads from hdd | 10:00 |
| carboy87 | so your saying my graphics card is screwed | 10:01 |
| allquixotic | carboy87: No. I'm saying that the software on your hard drive that operates your graphics card from Ubuntu's side is defective. | 10:01 |
| brandon95g | i running newest version of ubuntu when i try to install flash from abdobe for 8.04 or higher i get this Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libnspr4-dev all others say unsupported archive | 10:01 |

| ikonia | allquixotic: what software would that be ? | 10:01 |
| allquixotic | carboy87: No, it's not. In fact, it's extremely possible. | 10:01 |
| ikonia | allquixotic: what software are you suggesting is deffective ? | 10:02 |

| iceroot | ikonia: its flash 10 | 10:02 |
| allquixotic | ikonia: Based on his problem report so far, my understanding is that he did not manually change configuration; he did not update; so I am deducing that data loss caused the Xorg driver (or some part of the graphics stack) to become corrupted so that it won't load. | 10:02 |
| carboy87 | no i installed it myself directly from a guy who helped invent linux | 10:02 |
| legend2440 | ueaoueoaaoeo: yes. autorun script uses partimage to backup my ubuntu partition and then reboots back to ubuntu when done | 10:02 |

| allquixotic | ikonia: Haven't you been paying attention? He said that Ubuntu starts in low graphics mode, where it didn't before. | 10:03 |
| iceroot | ikonia: adobe-flashplugin - Adobe Flash Player plugin version 10 | 10:03 |
| moncky | jrgen: put sudo before the command you want to run ie sudo apt-get | 10:03 |

| allquixotic | carboy87: If Ubuntu displays a pop-up saying that it's starting in low graphics mode, it is a deeper problem than simply setting the screen resolution. The system is loading a fallback driver; you're lucky you have a graphical display at all. | 10:04 |
| iceroot | ikonia: i have posted you the line from apt-cache search adobe-flashplugin - Adobe Flash Player plugin version 10 | 10:04 |
| ikonia | allquixotic: how do you know that? | 10:04 |
| iceroot | ikonia: adobe-flashplugin | 10:04 |
| ikonia | allquixotic: a screen setting out of range can cause that | 10:04 |
| legend2440 | ueaoueoaaoeo: oh ok | 10:04 |

| allquixotic | ikonia: Sure, manually modifying Xorg.conf can cause similar problems, but he specifically stated that he has not made any modifications. Regardless of the problem, the best place to look is Xorg.0.log, which someone else already asked him to post... | 10:05 |

| bazhang | spartan07, that is the kernel | 10:06 |
| carboy87 | go to the system menu | 10:06 |
| suji | hi | 10:06 |
| ikonia | ueaoueoaaoeo: grub needs to be installed on a file system - you can't get around that | 10:06 |

| brandon95g | when i hit linl for flash on ubuntu page it says ould not find package 'flashplugin-installer'. | 10:07 |
| ueaoueoaaoeo | ikonia I guess the next best thing would be to put it on a never-used DSL install | 10:07 |
| mechtech | jrgen: kill xserver and continue installation from comand line...I guess | 10:07 |

| ueaoueoaaoeo | ikonia so i can relax knowing my other distro (that i use) have no dependency on each other | 10:09 |
| mechtech | Mrokii: you must be joking | 10:09 |
| ueaoueoaaoeo | ^distros | 10:09 |
| ikonia | ueaoueoaaoeo: put grub on a standalone boot partition, so no matter what distro you install /boot is shared amongst them | 10:09 |
| ikonia | ueaoueoaaoeo: there is no such thing as a distro that just installs grub | 10:09 |
| ueaoueoaaoeo | LOL ok | 10:10 |
| Mrokii | mechtech: why? | 10:10 |
| iceroot | ikonia: ah ok, in 8.04 flashplugin-nonfree = flash 9, adobe-flashplugin=flash 10 in jaunty, flashplugin-nonfree = flash10 | 10:10 |
| mechtech | Mrokii: who would be that daft? | 10:10 |
| ueaoueoaaoeo | ikonia that idea is PPPEERRRFFFEECCTT | 10:10 |

| ubottu | spartan07: 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? | 10:10 |
| th0r | ikonia: I think there is a small iso for a grub rescue disk or some such | 10:11 |
| ikonia | th0r: yes, that is a grub rescue disk, it does not install a linux distribution with just grub on it | 10:11 |
| moncky | th0r: super grub disk | 10:11 |
| ikonia | th0r: that's what he was looking for so grub was not controlled by other distributions | 10:11 |
| mechtech | Mrokii: you'd be better off pasting the contents of the script into pastebin and having one of these gurus peruse it and tell you what the output should be | 10:11 |
| Mrokii | mechtech: the script is found here: http://alex.csgraf.de/qemu/getkey and there is nothing dangerous to it | 10:11 |
| spartan07 | im just trying to find out a replacement for root-tail I cant get it to run on 9.04 and there is very little documentation on it for newer versions of ubuntu | 10:11 |

| xrfang | hello, could anybody recommend a duplicated file finder (other than fslint and command line ones)? | 10:13 |

| th0r | allquixotic: spartan07 root-tail actually works, but the desktop environments overwrite it. You can get it running in kde by checking the box to allow programs on the desktop, I don't know if gnome has the same option...I know xfce doesn't | 10:17 |

| allquixotic | th0r: One of the hacks recommended to allow other apps to draw on the X11 root window is to kill nautilus. Heh. That might result in some feature loss though ;) | 10:25 |

| diddy | Boohbah, Thx | 10:27 |
| spartan07 | yea i second that. fluxbox here I come | 10:27 |
| moymoy | spartan07: it flashes? | 10:27 |
| allquixotic | spartan07: WindowMaker, Xfce, KDE, almost anything but Gnome seems to support proper root-tail functionality | 10:27 |
| linuxrock5 | has anyone got a acx wireless running? if i enable it it freezes my laptop. the bug is known but nothing seems to change there. | 10:28 |
| moymoy | spartan07: allquixotic: not to mention Conky | 10:28 |
| moymoy | spartan07: but a quick fix in gconf editor should do the trick | 10:28 |
| moncky | spartan07: might be worth while posting your problem to the gnome mailing list and see if others have the issue, may be a gnome issue rather than ubuntu | 10:28 |
| th0r | spartan07: moymoy is right...one of the threads said something about conky doing the same job | 10:29 |
| spartan07 | I tried to fgind a conky script that I saw on a post for a workaround, but it did not work. | 10:29 |
| spartan07 | it did not even flash for me like it did for the guy that posted | 10:29 |
| allquixotic | moymoy: Do you know the specific gconf key to stop nautilus from painting over the X11 root window? Or are you just speculating that one "probably exists"? | 10:29 |
| moymoy | spartan07: the conky workaround is either disable nautilus from drawing to the desktop or making conky have its own window | 10:29 |
| moymoy | allquixotic: spartan07: hold on, let me find it | 10:29 |
| allquixotic | Hm! Maybe: /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop | 10:31 |
| spartan07 | I know tail does the same thing but having all those terminal windows sucks. Im thinking maybe more windows in tilda would do almost the same thing | 10:31 |
| moymoy | allquixotic: spartan07: go to gconf-editor.. then browse to apps -> nautilus -> preferences -- and in there, you should see a key in there with the name "show_desktop" .. uncheck that | 10:31 |
| allquixotic | moymoy: Yep, found it :) | 10:32 |
| allquixotic | moymoy: Just tried root-tail -f /var/log/messages and it indeed works with that unchecked | 10:32 |

| spartan07 | did you lose your icons from the desktop? | 10:32 |
| allquixotic | yep | 10:32 |
| allquixotic | that's intended | 10:32 |
| Guest38065 | http://root-portal.sourceforge.net/ | 10:32 |
| moymoy | allquixotic: spartan07: one drawback is that you now have no icons on your desktop | 10:32 |
| allquixotic | only one app can draw to the root window at a time | 10:32 |
| allquixotic | it overwrites Nautilus' drawing of the icons | 10:33 |
| moymoy | that's a serious flaw | 10:33 |
| moymoy | =[ | 10:33 |
| allquixotic | it's not really a flaw so much as the computer doing exactly what you tell it to :P to have robust functionality you'd need to integrate the functionality you want into Nautilus | 10:33 |
| legend2440 | i am having a problem with kodak dx3500 digital camera with jaunty and gnome . it is usb interface but the camera uses PTP(picture transfer prorocol). i have tried gphoto2, gtkam and digikam but the camera is not detected. i've tried lsusb and dmesg but still no sign the camera is detected.however, my Sandisk usb mp3 player is detected so i know the usb is working.any ideas or anyone familiar with this camera? | 10:33 |
| Guest38065 | try root-portal with gnome instead of root-tail | 10:33 |

| Guest38065 | http://root-portal.sourceforge.net/ | 10:34 |
| moncky | legend2440: is the camera being presented as a mass storage device as oposed to a caera? | 10:34 |
| moymoy | root-tail doesn't use a window (i'm assuming) and that's what spartan07 wants (also assuming) | 10:34 |
| Guest38065 | u'll get it here | 10:34 |
| legend2440 | ikonia: according to gtkam and gphoto2 it is supported | 10:34 |
| Guest38065 | http://root-portal.sourceforge.net/ | 10:34 |
| stillboy | @legend2440 is it the same port? are you getting any events in /var/log/messages or syslog? | 10:34 |
| th0r | Guest38065: I have been trying to remember that name for three days now...thanks | 10:34 |
| allquixotic | moymoy: Right, the whole point of root-tail is that it draws the output of the `tail` command to the X11 root window, which is the desktop. :) | 10:35 |
| Guest38065 | ohh yeah | 10:35 |
| awesomeguy | Could someone please tell me fast and powerful Filemanager for ubuntu 9.04 | 10:35 |

| diddy | I just read that I can allow users to shut down the system by adding them to the /etc/shutdown.allow file. But I don't have such a file. Do I need to create it? | 10:41 |
| allquixotic | tbaxter: Well, usually on a "safe" reboot, the system should automatically unmount drives and perform a full sync, but with removable media I always unmount it in Nautilus just to be sure | 10:41 |
| tbaxter | allquixotic: it's not removable. it's just a partition on the internal dirve of my lapto. | 10:42 |
| allquixotic | tbaxter: To dig deeper, though, you might consider using ntfs as a more viable means of file transfer between Ubuntu and Windows. ntfs-3g is extremely stable and feature-complete nowadays. | 10:42 |
| allquixotic | tbaxter: If you have a vfat partition and you are intending to use that partition only as a means of file sharing between your two dual boot OSes, I would argue that using ntfs as the partition format and mounting it with ntfs-3g on Ubuntu would be wiser. | 10:42 |
| allquixotic | tbaxter: Not to mention ntfs is a journaling filesystem - vfat has many design flaws | 10:43 |
| allquixotic | ntfs does too, but fewer ;) | 10:43 |
| indrajaya | iii | 10:44 |
| allquixotic | tbaxter: I have a question you may be able to answer if you want to stick with vfat, though. If you write some files to vfat on Ubuntu, reboot into Vista, don't see them, then reboot back to Ubuntu -- are the files still there? | 10:45 |
| tbaxter | allquixotic: usually, yes. though I had one instance of them disappearing. | 10:46 |
| bernardlychan | hey guys. starting from today, ubuntu would turn on, log in, and then after a few minutes, everything would freeze except for the mouse. does anyone have any suggestions? | 10:47 |
| allquixotic | tbaxter: Heh, that's even worse, then. "No" or "Yes" would have been more straightforward, but "usually" is even stranger :) | 10:47 |
| buzzomatic_ | Hi, was wondering if anyone could tell me what driver I should use to get the best performance out of my ATI Radeon HD 4800 | 10:48 |
| spartan07 | thank you for the help. I learned a few new things and about other tools to do the same job. | 10:48 |
| tbaxter | allquixotic: that was kind of my issue. it's hard to use google-foo on a usually | 10:48 |
| buzzomatic_ | Or perhaps point me at some information on tweaking the fglrx driver for performance, because it seems to be quite slow by default | 10:48 |
| allquixotic | tbaxter: It sounds like Ubuntu's concept of vfat is different from Vista's. If you are actually writing the files and they (usually) persist across Ubuntu sessions, but don't show up in Vista, it may be that somehow Vista is mounting it as a different type of vfat than Ubuntu. c.f. the various vfat "sizes" and options | 10:48 |
| bernardlychan | hey guys. starting from today, ubuntu would turn on, log in, and then after a few minutes, everything would freeze except for the mouse. does anyone have any suggestions? | 10:49 |
| jaumecosta | how can i reset on gnome to the default keyboard settings | 10:49 |
| jaumecosta | ? | 10:49 |
| tbaxter | allquixotic: thanks. I'll have a good look at it tomorrow. (and possibly just hang the vfat idea if ntfs support has improved.) | 10:50 |
| grawity | bernardlychan: Ctrl-Alt-F1, and take a look at 'top', 'tail /var/log/syslog', 'tail /var/log/Xorg.0.log' | 10:50 |
| wal3 | hello. since my update to jaunty gnome become pretty slow. whats the reason? | 10:50 |
| allquixotic | tbaxter: At a minimum, I would suggest backing up _all_ the data you have on that partition as soon as possible. Then you might try reformatting it using mkfs.vfat and look at the options. But yes, ntfs support has improved drastically and I would recommend ntfs-3g due to the journaling options | 10:50 |

| tbaxter | allquixotic: cheers. you've helped my sanity considerably. | 10:51 |
| allquixotic | tbaxter: Personally, I just mount my Windows NTFS drives directly into Ubuntu using ntfs-3g. I have never had a corrupted 'doze filesystem because of ntfs-3g, and I used much more experimental versions of ntfs-3g years ago | 10:51 |
| allquixotic | tbaxter: For absolute safety of your windows OS though, you might want to preserve your idea of an intermediary partition like you have now, and never mount your Windows OS system volume directly. | 10:52 |
| allquixotic | tbaxter: Personally I keep all my music in my Windows user's home directory and symlink it into ~/Music on Ubuntu. Heh. Works perfectly. | 10:52 |
| buzzomatic_ | What version of fglrx comes with 9.04? | 10:52 |
| Stralytic | my hardy system keeps telling me this whenever i install packages... Can't exec "locale": No such file or directory at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/Encoding.pm line 16. ... there is no /usr/bin/locale ... which package should i be in? i searched on packages.ubuntu.com and it says there is no such file in any packages... my karmic system says that file is in libc6 but hardy libc6 doesn't contain it | 10:53 |
| Set_Killer | thank you, bazhang just made the persistent liveusb | 10:54 |
| Set_Killer | going to reboot to see does it works | 10:55 |
| allquixotic | buzzomatic_: aptitude show xorg-driver-fglrx | 10:55 |
| allquixotic | buzzomatic_: The output of that command should have the version info | 10:55 |
| allquixotic | Stralytic: Have you been mixing in packages from more recent versions of Ubuntu into your Hardy install? | 10:56 |
| Kaosevil | hi | 10:56 |
| hydra | does anyone got a tip on a good process overview utility 4 ubuntu? | 10:56 |
| Kaosevil | where i can find a vmware image of ubuntu ? | 10:56 |
| buzzomatic_ | allquixotic: 2:8.600-0ubuntu2 - does that mean it's 'Catalyst 8.6'? | 10:57 |
| allquixotic | hydra: The default GNOME desktop install has System Monitor in System -> Administration -> System Monitor | 10:57 |
| Stralytic | allquixotic: how did you guess? i installed jaunty libc6, lvm, mdadm and kernel to access some data on a ext4 fs, then i downgraded them all back to hardy | 10:57 |
| allquixotic | buzzomatic_: Correct, the initial 2: is a package-specific version number. The stuff after the 8.600 indicates that it's the second Ubuntu build of the same Catalyst version | 10:57 |
| buzzomatic_ | allquixotic: right, makes sense - is it possible to upgrade to a recent version of the driver? | 10:58 |
| allquixotic | Stralytic: Ouch, sounds like Perl / dpkg / libc are badly broken from the upgrade/downgrade process. I doubt anyone ever tested _downgrading_ from Jaunty to Hardy. That's a pretty much unsupported path. | 10:58 |
| bernardlychan | hey every1. starting from 2day, my ubuntu froze a few minutes after i logged in. i restarted and the same thing happened. i cannot open any programs, i can only move the mouse. does anyone have any suggestions? | 10:58 |
| allquixotic | buzzomatic_: Yep, there are tutorials on the wiki for compiling the latest Catalyst from source | 10:58 |

| marvelousbob | Hi, I have a usb-serial adapter but right now I can't communicate over the ports it provides | 10:59 |
| Stralytic | allquixotic: where does /usr/bin/locale come from on a hardy system? | 10:59 |
| marvelousbob | The output of dmesg | grep usb : http://pastebin.com/m7b3060e4 | 10:59 |
| allquixotic | Stralytic: I haven't used Hardy in ages, so I don't know -- I guess it was introduced into the system after Hardy. It does exist on Jaunty, and it comes from the libc6 package. | 11:00 |
| marvelousbob | The output of lsusb -v : http://pastebin.com/m16c7e4aa | 11:00 |
| marvelousbob | The serial interfaces appear as /dev/ttyACM0 and /dev/ttyACM1 | 11:00 |
| allquixotic | Stralytic: It sounds like the `debconf` program on your system was pulled in from Jaunty when you did the upgrading/downgrading, so now it's looking to use the locale program which exists in Jaunty's libc6, but you downgraded - doh! | 11:00 |
| allquixotic | Stralytic: debconf is a perl script, so it makes perfect sense that the error you're getting is related to perl. Unfortunately debconf is very central to the package management system; I honestly don't know whether you will be able to convince dpkg to downgrade its own packages back to a sane state with errors in debconf | 11:01 |
| marvelousbob | The device attatched to either of those ports recieves nothing | 11:01 |
| edico | hi | 11:02 |
| allquixotic | Stralytic: You might be able to re-upgrade libc6 to Jaunty's version and then downgrade _everything_ in one transaction, making sure not to leave anything out, including debconf | 11:02 |
| mokmeister | 9.04 or 8.04? | 11:02 |
| Stralytic | allquixotic: everything is currently hardy, i have no jaunty packages installed anymore, and the downgrade went smoothly in one hit | 11:03 |
| Saruji__ | is it possible to get an error log somewhere? | 11:03 |
| allquixotic | Stralytic: aptitude show debconf | 11:03 |
| Stralytic | allquixotic: the system is completely usable, just gives an annoying message when i install things | 11:03 |
| lstarnes | mokmeister: 9.04 is newer but 8.04 is an LTS release | 11:03 |
| edico | what is the program to see my hardware? I just bought a new system and I have troubles with the graphic mode? I can't enter graphical mode. | 11:03 |

| mokmeister | Any opinion on which ones best? | 11:04 |
| edico | allquixotic: I need to see my video card type | 11:04 |
| mokmeister | a lot depends on what you need it for I suppose.... | 11:04 |
| allquixotic | edico: You just started that you have an Intel X4500... | 11:04 |

| bernardlychan | anyone know how to fix a frozen ubuntu? nothing will work except moving the mouse. this happened 1minute after login | 11:05 |
| Saruji__ | let my start again, hey guys hows it going?....I have a question, windows has something called "logs" which will tell you the errors that accoured and its history, so when your computer crashes you can look in there to see what failed | 11:05 |
| Saruji__ | anything like this in linux? | 11:05 |
| allquixotic | edico: `lspci` should provide the info you need from a console, but you already know what kind of video card you have, so I'm not sure what you are really trying to accomplish. | 11:05 |
| allquixotic | Saruji__: There are a bunch of logs in Linux, they are all contained within /var/log and usually each program has its own log file or directory | 11:06 |

| fn][ | Hey, I have a simple 20 line perl script that I want to put into an rpm. no source or anything. how would I do this? | 11:06 |
| allquixotic | Saruji__: The central logs for the whole system would be in /var/log/messages or /var/log/dmesg but if you had a kernel hard-lock, it's possible that the kernel wasn't able to write to the log file after it crashed | 11:06 |
| Saruji__ | ok thank you allquixotic another question, which log should I look at if my monitors just shut off, but I can hear audio playing? | 11:07 |
| Saruji__ | thinking it has to do with graphics card | 11:07 |
| allquixotic | Saruji__: are you able to bring the monitors back or do you have to perform a reboot to get display back? | 11:07 |
| Saruji__ | I had to perform a reboot | 11:08 |

| allquixotic | Saruji__: Default settings in Ubuntu will automatically turn off monitors after inactivity | 11:08 |
| ready | sb | 11:08 |
| clawtooph | httpd.conf | 11:08 |
| allquixotic | furythor: /etc/apache/apache2.conf should have a directive for that | 11:08 |
| Stralytic | allquixotic: hmmm it seems to be in belocs-locales-bin | 11:08 |
| Saruji__ | allquixotic: i moved mouse pressed keyboard keys, tried commands | 11:08 |
| allquixotic | edico: What are you trying to accomplish? Are you trying to get to a graphical desktop? | 11:08 |
| christiannnn | i have a error in grub says "Error 17" somebody knows how to fix it ? | 11:08 |
| clawtooph | oh yeah i forget ubuntu forces apache2... /etc/apache2 | 11:09 |
| allquixotic | Saruji__: OK, the most relevant logs I can think of would be /var/log/Xorg.0.log and /var/log/dmesg | 11:09 |
| edico | allquixotic: I installed ubuntu but I can't enter graphical mod, it tries to enter but fails | 11:09 |
| furythor | yeah, I thought that too, but I just seem not to be able to find that directive from that file | 11:09 |
| allquixotic | edico: What version of Ubuntu? | 11:09 |
| edico | allquixotic: 904 | 11:09 |
| Stralytic | allquixotic: reinstalling that pkg fixed it | 11:10 |

| clawtooph | furythor, are you sure you don't have /etc/apache2/httpd.conf? i do | 11:10 |
| Peddy | christiannnn, could you describe your operating system and hard drive configuration? ie, what you have installed, where. | 11:10 |
| allquixotic | furythor: /etc/apache2/sites-available/default has the DocumentRoot directive | 11:10 |
| furythor | ok, thanks | 11:10 |
| allquixotic | Stralytic: Cool | 11:11 |
| allquixotic | edico: Hmm, pastebin the output from /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 11:11 |
| allquixotic | Saruji_: Sounds like gnome-session crashed | 11:11 |
| christiannnn | i have 2 partition in /dev/sda1 its Win Xp and the /dev/sda2 whas ubuntu but i format /dev/sda2 to NTFS system when i restart the system says "error 17" | 11:11 |
| allquixotic | Saruji_: What did the notification say? | 11:11 |
| furythor | I found what I was looking for, thanks a bunch | 11:11 |
| Saruji__ | allquixotic: what in the world is going on? Things are going crazy here, hmm will check logs, thank you allquixotic i might come and ask again, thank you for your help....yea gnome-session keeps crashing for some reason | 11:12 |
| allquixotic | Saruji__: Definitely check /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 11:12 |
| Saruji__ | allquixotic: nothing, gnome crashes when I click it | 11:12 |
| allquixotic | Saruji__: I haven't seen that one before. I assume the window manager also crashed so your windows don't have minimize/maximize/close on them? | 11:13 |
| Peddy | christiannnn, you formatted the drive that Ubuntu was installed on? | 11:14 |
| edico | allquixotic: http://pastebin.com/m78d5f5fc | 11:14 |
| christiannnn | yes | 11:14 |
| christiannnn | Peddy, yes | 11:14 |
| Peddy | christiannnn, so you were trying to remove Ubuntu, correct? | 11:14 |
| Saruji__ | allquixotic: no, they do, and it does seem like nataulas crashed but its acting very strange....maybe hardware failure? (video card) | 11:14 |
| grawity | christiannnn: Do you have a Windows XP CD? | 11:14 |
| christiannnn | yes but when i restart computer i can enter to Windows bcuz the grub says Error 17 | 11:14 |
| allquixotic | edico: Is this a clean installation of Ubuntu 9.04? | 11:15 |
| Saruji__ | allquixotic: i have compiz running | 11:15 |
| christiannnn | yes i have it | 11:15 |
| edico | allquixotic: yes | 11:15 |
| Peddy | christiannnn, do you have a Windows XP recovery CD? | 11:15 |
| grawity | christiannnn: Okay, boot from the XP CD, choose "Recovery Console", and type these commands 'fixboot' and 'fixmbr' | 11:15 |
| allquixotic | Saruji__: It may be graphics driver related, if stuff is dying with compiz running. Try running without compositing. | 11:15 |
| Saruji__ | allquixotic: what the diff between Xorg.1.log and 0? | 11:15 |
| allquixotic | Saruji__: Xorg.1.log is your previous session; the one before the last one | 11:15 |
| Saruji__ | allquixotic: ok thx | 11:15 |
| Peddy | christiannnn, if that doesn't work or your XP cd is missing, you could burn Super Grub Disk from another machine, which has options to restore Windows' bootloader. | 11:16 |
| albano | christiann: or bot from ubuntu live cd and do only a groob install again | 11:16 |
| allquixotic | Saruji__: What video card are you using? | 11:16 |
| wal3 | hello. since my update to jaunty gnome become pretty slow. whats the reason? | 11:16 |
| Saruji__ | allquixotic: nvidia 8800 gt | 11:16 |
| allquixotic | Saruji__: Are you using the binary drivers? | 11:16 |
| christiannnn | okay iam in live cd of ubuntu i will try here if dont works i will use Win XP CD | 11:16 |
| Saruji__ | allquixotic: not sure, nvidia drivers | 11:17 |
| Saruji__ | allquixotic: proprietary ones | 11:17 |
| allquixotic | Saruji__: Try updating to the latest release from Nvidia's website -- if you are using Jaunty's shipped binary drivers, those are a bit old and they have a known bug with memory manager corruption when you use compositing | 11:17 |
| Tecna | I'm interested in people's opinion on this... Of Debian and Ubuntu, which is better, and why? | 11:17 |
| allquixotic | Saruji__: yes, by "binary drivers" I meant Nvidia's proprietary ones. | 11:17 |
| Schildbuerger | i can only second the winxp 'fixboot' and 'fixmbr' hint/method | 11:17 |
| christiannnn | okey thanks:) | 11:17 |
| Saruji__ | allquixotic: ok thx I will, do you know if nvidia has a .deb for their drivers or will I have to run like an .sh or something? | 11:17 |
| allquixotic | Tecna: This is a tech support channel, that's offtopic | 11:17 |
| Saruji__ | allquixotic: (afraid of screwing it up) | 11:18 |
| Peddy | Sargun, what driver version are you using? | 11:18 |
| allquixotic | Saruji__: You'll have to install `build-essential' package, go to a minimal environment without X (such as booting Ubuntu in recovery mode and select the root shell option) and launch Nvidia's .sh installer | 11:18 |
| allquixotic | Saruji__: There may be a PPA out there that keeps up to date Nvidia drivers with kernel modules synchronized to released kernels or something, but I just download the .sh manually myself | 11:19 |
| Saruji__ | allquixotic: ok thx.....how do I tell (in xorg.0.log) which ones are the errors? | 11:19 |
| Tecna | allquixotic: I think my question borders closely enough on tech support, because it's to help me decide whether or not to switch back to Ubuntu... I'm having trouble with Debian and their support channel is useless. | 11:19 |
| allquixotic | Saruji__: If the driver writes are using proper error log facilities, then any true error should be preceded with (EE); however, a (WW) is usually a concern too | 11:20 |
| albano | saruji: i had the same isue and did the .sh install again from rootshell | 11:20 |
| Saruji__ | allquixotic: ahh ok then looks like I've got some errors.....shoot | 11:20 |
| Saruji__ | allquixotic: ahh stupid me, I see the error codes at the top | 11:20 |
| edico | allquixotic: this is the log from the when I run ubuntu from the cd http://pastebin.com/m2ab8da3a , but here it gives me an option to try with low graphic mode in other shell than alt-ctrl-7 | 11:20 |
| allquixotic | Tecna: Comparing distributions without any particular criteria is not a technical support question; that's a matter of subjective opinion and very likely to start disagreements. Hence it is off topic here. If you have a particular feature to inquire about, that'd be more on-topic | 11:20 |

| Olof2 | Hi! Is there any easy way to find out on wich partition windows lays on?(yes , I just installed ubuntu) | 11:25 |
| albano | aidoenous: do a cd chek maybe your cd is demaged | 11:25 |
| allquixotic | Saruji__: As mentioned, the version of Nvidia drivers in Jaunty are known to have a flaw with compositing that leads to instability for some people, including myself... they can't upgrade them due to distribution version policies, but you can upgrade them yourself | 11:25 |
| allquixotic | Saruji__: The empty information balloon that crashed gnome-session sounds like an unrelated crash, though | 11:26 |
| aidoneous | albano: i am chatting through the live CD now, the problem is on the linux installed in my HDD | 11:26 |
| aidoneous | :< | 11:26 |
| Saruji__ | allquixotic: alright, you've been a great help, I got scared there for a sec....hmm well all I think I can do is try and reinstall the drivers and see if that will hlep.....any chance that the notification is just there to tell me that I've crashed? | 11:27 |
| allquixotic | aidoneous: There are many different reasons why you might have that problem. Does the progress bar just hang before it's done or what? | 11:27 |

| antonio_ | maybe not, I'm following what reoprted in this guide http://wiki.ubuntu-it.org/Hardware/Video/Ati/Radeon and it should be ati | 11:32 |
| om26er | ikonia: is there a way to update my initramfs from live cd. my ubuntu is not booting and I know the problem | 11:32 |
| albano | is there any ather way haow to modify the xserver,xorg than "VI" ? | 11:33 |
| allquixotic | albano: Any text editor is capable of modifying /etc/X11/xorg.conf if that's what you are referring to. | 11:33 |
| richardcavell | albano: you mean text editors? | 11:33 |
| mataks | is there a program in linux that will restore system every time you boot.. like deep freeze in windows | 11:33 |
| tarantulaINET | hey, can anyone help me set up a bridge network connection, to bridge my wired and wireless connections | 11:33 |
| allquixotic | albano: nano is a more user friendly text editor (at least in my opinion) | 11:33 |
| richardcavell | albano: or use gedit, which is a graphical one that works in GNOME | 11:34 |
| albano | richardcavell: were can i find gedit? | 11:34 |
| masquerade | any way i can completely remove panels in gnome? | 11:34 |
| allquixotic | antonio_: You probably didn't follow the instructions quite right then -- they look correct, but I had to use Google Translator to read them :) | 11:35 |
| richardcavell | albano: sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 11:35 |
| allquixotic | antonio_: Are you trying to use fglrx (the proprietary Catalyst driver) or the open source ati driver? | 11:35 |
| albano | richardcavell: thnx | 11:36 |

| veggteppe_ | Anyone know why i can't get my HDMI thingy to work? can it be the driver? | 11:36 |
| antonio_ | I'm trying the open source ati driver | 11:36 |
| allquixotic | masquerade: right-click and delete each panel? | 11:36 |
| antonio_ | excuse me for the link, I forget about language | 11:36 |
| om26er | how to add modules to initramfs from live cd | 11:36 |
| minimec | antonio_: What version of Ubuntu are you on? With Jaunty your card is configured in the best way possible. | 11:37 |
| allquixotic | antonio_: have you tried any 3d applications to see if they work? | 11:37 |
| richardcavell | Can I ask everybody - is it people's general experience that nvidia has the best linux driver support? | 11:38 |
| allquixotic | antonio_: The open source ati drivers are based on the DRM/DRI/Xorg/Mesa stack which does have Tungsten as the vendor, at least for some drivers | 11:38 |
| aidoneous | The progress bar doesnt load but now I entered in Recovery Mode can someone help me to find the problem? I am a total noob | 11:38 |
| Saruji | hey guys, question, how do I exit the X server? I did the ctrl-alt-backspace but it only brought to the log in part | 11:39 |
| richardcavell | Saruji: you mean you want to go to a command line? | 11:39 |
| akonkwa | Hey, I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 under PArallels on a macbook pro. I was wondering how I could configure it to take up the whole 1440x900 of my screen and not only 1024x768 | 11:39 |
| antonio_ | it works, just guessing if I can have more | 11:39 |
| om26er | any tell me how to add modules in initramfs manually | 11:39 |
| allquixotic | richardcavell: A subjective question, which depends on what you mean by "best". I think the Intel drivers are the "best" on the grounds that they are the most advanced open source drivers. But in terms of raw features with license blindness, Nvidia does tend to be the most featureful, considering they have stable OpenGL 3.1 support and experimental OpenGL 3.2 support in their binary drivers.. | 11:39 |
| Saruji | richardcavell: yes I want to install nvidia drivers | 11:39 |
| richardcavell | Saruji: you can do that without going to a command line | 11:39 |
| albano | aidoenous: try xfix | 11:39 |
| richardcavell | Saruji: but for the record sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 11:39 |
| om26er | !initramfs | 11:39 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about initramfs | 11:40 |
| allquixotic | Saruji: When you did ctrl-alt-backspace, you actually killed the X server, but gdm automatically detected that X died and restarted it | 11:40 |
| ortsvorsteher | !insmod | 11:40 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about insmod | 11:40 |
| allquixotic | Saruji: To get rid of X entirely you need to do what richardcavell just said and stop gdm :-) | 11:40 |
| minimec | antonio_: You could open a console and use glxgears and glxinfo for further infos about 3d power... | 11:40 |
| allquixotic | akonkwa: Sounds like a Parallels support question to me | 11:40 |
| veggteppe_ | Gonna dual bot ubuntu and windows, but when i try installing vista, i get "Not enaugh space free", but i got 200 GB free, any ideas? | 11:40 |
| richardcavell | allquixotic: I'm using intel drivers. Until recently they were *bad* | 11:41 |
| Saruji | richardcavell: ok thank you, do you recommend not being in the terminal? allquixotic cool makes sense, so shut down or best just stay on desktop and run the sh command here? | 11:41 |
| richardcavell | they're still buggy | 11:41 |
| allquixotic | antonio_: If you need more featureful OpenGL then try the proprietary drivers if you're ok with using non-free software | 11:41 |
| richardcavell | Saruji: install your drivers without doing anything special | 11:41 |
| ortsvorsteher | veggteppe_: at first you have to install windows. after that you can install linux | 11:41 |
| legend2440 | !dontzap | saruji ctrl+alt+backspace is disabled in jaunty | 11:41 |
| ubottu | saruji ctrl+alt+backspace is disabled in jaunty: To re-enable the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace combination that restarts your X server, you can install the "dontzap" package and use the command Ā« sudo dontzap --disable Ā». The combination Alt+SysRq+K can also be used to obtain a similar effect. | 11:41 |
| richardcavell | Saruji: just install them from within a Terminal or however youlike | 11:41 |
| akonkwa | allquixotic, Maybe... but aren't there lines i can add to xorg.conf so it allows me to select 1400x900 resolution? | 11:41 |
| allquixotic | Saruji: The nvidia drivers prohibit you from installing them when X is running, so you will need to get rid of gdm to run them. You can override it with an option but I don't recommend it | 11:41 |
| veggteppe_ | But, when i try to install windows, i get a blue screen :P, no idea what's wrong:S | 11:41 |
| allquixotic | richardcavell: Yes, I've followed the Intel drivers' development very carefully, but they are still the best open source drivers, even though they have big performance problems | 11:42 |
| Saruji | richardcavell: good advice thx allquixotic right thats the problem i am running into | 11:42 |
| ortsvorsteher | this here is ubuntu support veggteppe_ , for windows try #windows | 11:42 |
| om26er | how to install grub2 | 11:42 |
| ICM | bah @ default xchat-ubuntu settings | 11:42 |
| richardcavell | allquixotic: aren't you just criticizing nvidia for not having open source drivers? | 11:42 |
| veggteppe_ | Well, as i said, the issue is getting a blue screen after having ubuntu, meaning that there is a ubuntu issue ortsvorsteher. | 11:42 |
| antonio_ | glxgears shows 3464 frames in 5.0 seconds = 692.292 FPS don't know if it is what expected by a card agp 8x with 128MB | 11:42 |
| turneralex | now how does a noob partition a drive for raid (0xfd) | 11:42 |
| richardcavell | allquixotic: it doesn't bother me that much that nvidia is closed source | 11:43 |
| richardcavell | They need to protect their IP | 11:43 |
| ortsvorsteher | try to clean up your disc, install windows first, after that ubuntu. veggteppe_ good luck ! :) | 11:43 |
| allquixotic | richardcavell: It's a matter of philosophy | 11:43 |
| veggteppe_ | Okay, thank you ortsvorsteher :). | 11:43 |
| allquixotic | richardcavell: And a bit off topic for this channel | 11:43 |
| richardcavell | allquixotic: I've been trying to play Half-Life under Ubuntu/wine and under Jaunty it's just too buggy | 11:43 |
| richardcavell | allquixotic: but I just played the game all the way through this week with Karmic | 11:44 |
| albano | om26er:from live cd | 11:44 |
| allquixotic | antonio_: That sounds about right | 11:44 |
| richardcavell | allquixotic: anyone with Intel GMA950 hardware should just go with Karmic all the way | 11:44 |
| allquixotic | antonio_: (haha, I really have no clue) | 11:44 |
| allquixotic | antonio_: Try a 3d app like TuxRacer | 11:44 |
| minimec | antonio_: Well... The 9200 is a rather old baby, but I guess compiz should do. It will be interesting to see, if you are able to watch a movie in fullscreen mode with compiz activated. | 11:44 |
| richardcavell | allquixotic: I mean, the 2.8.0 drivers are only just stable. | 11:45 |
| allquixotic | richardcavell: I have a 965GM and it still runs pretty poorly on Karmic -- I can't play Savage 2 on it, which makes it pretty much worthless to me | 11:45 |
| richardcavell | allquixotic: okay | 11:45 |
| richardcavell | allquixotic: I'm still getting bugs, mind. But at least now it's useable | 11:45 |
| lock_man | hey do u ppl talk? | 11:45 |
| allquixotic | richardcavell: If you're interested in following development of the open source Intel drivers, #intel-gfx is where the Intel engineers lurk | 11:45 |
| ortsvorsteher | !u | lock_man | 11:45 |
| ubottu | lock_man: U is the 21st letter of the modern latin alphabet. Neither 'U' or 'Ur' are words in the English language. Nor are 'R', 'Y', 'l8', 'Ne1' or 'Bcuz'. Mangled English is hard for non-native English speakers. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/abbreviations/ for more information. | 11:45 |
| lock_man | AYYYY?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? | 11:46 |
| richardcavell | allquixotic: I might be buying a few new computers for development and I'm thinking of making it all nvidia hardware | 11:46 |
| mataks | help my printer is not working.. i can't print.. why is that | 11:46 |
| antonio_ | ok, will tray, thx a lot, one more thing, I did configurate my usb modem and spent 2 days, if I upgrade to Jaunty, do I need again to configure my modem? | 11:46 |
| Olof2 | If I install Ubuntu after Windows , and then want to choose between booting Ubuntu or Windows with Grub , how do I "add" my windows installation to Grub? | 11:46 |
| clawtooph | hahha ouchie, i just made a mess... was installing LAMP, phpmyadmin etc etc.. and i just imported a 330 meg sql.tar.gz into mysql database.. not its own.. it put it in mysql LOL | 11:46 |
| lock_man | wut? | 11:46 |
| allquixotic | richardcavell: If open source drivers aren't a valuation criteria in your selection process, I would recommend Nvidia for the featurefulness and stability of the binary drivers | 11:46 |
| oslito | #xubuntu-devel | 11:46 |
| richardcavell | allquixotic: I just want to hear from people here that their nvidia cards are supported | 11:46 |
| antonio_ | and how are the performance with respect to intrepid? | 11:46 |
| allquixotic | richardcavell: Also, if you plan to do development with OpenGL >= 2.1, you _need_ binary drivers because the open source drivers don't fully support GLSL 1.20, let alone OpenGL 3.0 | 11:46 |
| lock_man | why do u talk so fast? | 11:47 |
| clawtooph | so i can turn away from you | 11:47 |
| richardcavell | allquixotic: I'm not doing OpenGL stuff | 11:47 |
| th0r | lock_man: try #script-kiddies | 11:47 |
| allquixotic | richardcavell: I have OpenGL 3.1 100% implemented on my GeForce GTX 280 with the Nvidia binary drivers, and it's rock solid | 11:47 |
| lock_man | why? | 11:47 |
| richardcavell | allquixotic: I'm doing simple server/client stuff but I need to do framegrabbing | 11:47 |
| richardcavell | allquixotic: performance is not an issue but stability is essential | 11:48 |
| lock_man | hey th0r: what? | 11:48 |
| allquixotic | antonio_: upgrading might overwrite your settings, depending on the choices you make during the upgrade process | 11:48 |
| richardcavell | allquixotic: and by the way, yes I am jealous that you have a GTX 280 | 11:48 |
| Saruji | richardcavell: ok hey i'm back, problem, whenever I try to install the drivers via terminal within x server i get an error message that says nvidia drivers cannot install while x is running, so I tried the sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop, all that happened was the screen shut off with a blinking curser I couldnt type with...so how can I install from within x? or without, whichever.. | 11:48 |
| allquixotic | richardcavell: and I'm jealous of folks that have a GTX 295, or two of them in SLI | 11:48 |
| antonio_ | is it possible to roll back to previous conf? | 11:49 |
| allquixotic | antonio_: I would suggest that you back up any configuration files you hand-modified for your usb modem before you upgrade. | 11:49 |
| allquixotic | antonio_: that way if the upgrade process overwrites anything you can put it back where it was | 11:49 |
| lock_man | *does a fart* | 11:49 |
| albano | saruji:u must stop gdm before installing drivers | 11:49 |
| lock_man | eww | 11:49 |
| Ddorda | sometimes the usb in my laptop stops working but after a restart it's back to work. is there any way to restart only the usb? | 11:49 |
| richardcavell | Ddorda: remount it | 11:50 |
| antonio_ | this is fine, I can backup the cnf file, my question is, the script that uses my cnf file, will it still work? | 11:50 |
| Saruji | albano: i ran sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop but all that happend was it gave me a dark blank screen with a curser i couldnt type anything with? | 11:50 |
| richardcavell | lock_man for the ban | 11:50 |
| Ddorda | richardcavell: how? | 11:50 |
| richardcavell | Saruji: do you know how to select recovery mode on your boot menu? | 11:50 |
| lock_man | hew | 11:50 |
| richardcavell | Saruji: boot to a root shell | 11:50 |
| Saruji | richardcavell: yes | 11:50 |
| lock_man | tommy tommy tommy tommy tommy tommy tommy tommy | 11:51 |
| Saruji | richardcavell: see thats where you loose me | 11:51 |
| allquixotic | antonio_: Hard to say, it depends on what you modified - but I personally use a USB EvDO tethering to my cellphone and it's been pretty consistent across versions. It just uses wvdial and pppd | 11:51 |

| lguenhael | hello | 11:52 |
| richardcavell | Ddorda: okay then forget about remounting | 11:52 |
| allquixotic | Ddorda: I think there's a kernel param for disabling USB power management | 11:52 |
| allquixotic | Ddorda: Let me look around for that | 11:52 |
| richardcavell | Ddorda: you need to restart the whole usb | 11:52 |
| lock_man | hey | 11:52 |
| Saruji | richardcavell: you mean when my comp first loads i have a choice of options of which partition or system to run? | 11:52 |
| antonio_ | and what about performance? I have a p4 2.53MHz, | 11:52 |
| richardcavell | Ddorda: what is it that you're doing that results in the USB not working? Are you suspending or hibernating? | 11:52 |
| lguenhael | is there somebody who know how I can detect keyword with spetial caracters on Gedit? | 11:52 |
| antonio_ | I mean, I'm right at the boundary with 8.10, don't want to jump over | 11:52 |

| bazhang | lock_man, did you have a support question? | 11:53 |
| allquixotic | antonio_: With the system specs you've stated I think you are fine, unless you have 256 MB of RAM | 11:53 |

| allquixotic | Paschu: perfect is rarely associated with software, but ntfs-3g is very stable in my own experiences with it (I constantly use it to access my music on ntfs) | 11:54 |
| antonio_ | yes, it is fine thanks a lot allquixotic, see you, have a nice day (night?) | 11:55 |
| om26er | albano: yes from live cd | 11:55 |
| albano | saruji:not terminal | 11:55 |
| allquixotic | Saruji: shell, terminal and console are more or less synonymous in the sense we are using them | 11:55 |

| furythor | is there way to install phpmyadmin via apt-get ? | 11:55 |
| richardcavell | Saruji: no problem Saruji. Select (recovery mode) and then select root shell | 11:55 |
| albano | press ctrl+alt+f6 and then stop the gdm and install the drivers | 11:56 |
| allquixotic | furythor: sudo aptitude install phpmyadmin ? | 11:56 |
| allquixotic | furythor: (without the question mark) | 11:56 |
| Hagge | any tips on where i should start looking for the problem when ubuntu install stops at "Loading, please wait..." when booting into install and if i boot into livecd i get the login-screen but no can't logon and ctrl-alt-F1 shows the same "Loading, please wait..."-screen? | 11:56 |
| Hagge | This is on a POS Packard Bell PC | 11:57 |
| clawtooph | did you wait? | 11:57 |
| veggteppe | Not sure who i talked to earlyer but, Googled abit, and it seems that my HD is FAT now?, and i need it to be NTFS? Anyone that know how i can convert the current HD, to NTFS? | 11:57 |
| allquixotic | Packard Bell? Like, before HP? | 11:57 |
| frink_ | bloody micrisoft | 11:57 |
| frink_ | I Virtualised 10 Windows 2003 boxes and they all want new licenses because they had OEM licenses which wont be 'valin' on virtual hardware | 11:57 |
| allquixotic | veggteppe: You can't easily "convert" from one filesystem to another, but if you have space to back up all the data on your disk, you can reformat it as NTFS and transfer the data over to it. | 11:58 |
| Paschu | i heard that linux has problems to read and to write on external HDs with ntfs | 11:58 |
| Hagge | allquixotic: no idea, i think they use that brand to sell cheap PC's over here in big box stores, gf has one she got from her father | 11:58 |
| frink_ | they are theives | 11:58 |
| richardcavell | veggteppe: backup and reformat | 11:58 |
| Ddorda | richardcavell: i don't do anything special | 11:58 |
| veggteppe | allquixotic: can i just quickly reformat, without backing up? no need of what i got currently anyway | 11:58 |
| richardcavell | Ddorda: does it happen in other operating systems? | 11:58 |
| Hagge | allquixotic: 1.8GHz Core 2 Duo, 1GB RAM, pretty basic stuff i think | 11:58 |
| veggteppe | and: How do i reformat it to NTFS?:P | 11:58 |
| allquixotic | Paschu: Well, every piece of software has had a problem at one point or another in its history; what can we do to convince you that ntfs-3g in Ubuntu (Especially the latest version of Ubuntu) is stable enough for you to use? | 11:59 |
| richardcavell | veggteppe: if you don't desire to keep your current data then just reformat it | 11:59 |
| Ddorda | richardcavell: never happened. only on my ubuntu.. | 11:59 |
| om26er | albano: is there a manual way to add modules initrd.img just these for mmc_coreĀ | 11:59 |

| FloodBot2 | om26er: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 11:59 |
| allquixotic | veggteppe: If you don't need to back up, you can reformat very easily, yes | 11:59 |
| Viliny | Paschu, im running a external usb ntfs drive for my fileserver and it's been working flawlessly for 2 months now | 11:59 |
| allquixotic | Hagge: Oh, that should work, meets the sysreqs | 11:59 |
| richardcavell | Ddorda: I don't know, but it's obviously something to do with usb | 11:59 |
| Ddorda | richardcavell: i don't really mind to fix it, i just want to find a way to restart the usb | 11:59 |
| allquixotic | Hagge: Check the BIOS and disable Plug-n-Play OS... there are a few other tweaks that might help, but extremely hardware-dependent | 11:59 |
| furythor | Allquixotic that is what I thought too, for some reason it is not listed there | 11:59 |
| Hagge | allquixotic: aah, i was looking at that actually. will do | 12:00 |
| allquixotic | furythor: It is on my system. What version of Ubuntu are you using? | 12:00 |
| veggteppe | Thank you both, for the last question: (kinda noob to ubuntu), how do i find the name of my HD?:P, only sais "Filesystem" here, what's the name, the uhm, letter:P | 12:00 |
| Paschu | i never had ubuntu before | 12:00 |
| Paschu | thats the reason why i ask | 12:00 |
| allquixotic | veggteppe: Install ntfsprogs and run mkfs.ntfs to create a new NTFS volume on Ubuntu | 12:00 |
| ortsvorsteher | veggteppe: there are no letters for your partitions like in windows. | 12:00 |
| albano | om26er: i dont know that sory | 12:00 |
| om26er | how to add modules in initrd.img | 12:00 |
| veggteppe | Okay, thank you :). | 12:01 |

| allquixotic | veggteppe: Instead of drive letters, Linux "mounts" devices into paths in the root filesystem. The root filesystem starts with / and it represents your system volume, i.e. where the operating system you're using resides | 12:01 |
| Antses | if i then type "g test me" elinks will google "me" and say that it can't open the file "test" | 12:02 |
| veggteppe | allquixotic: Whats the run cmd for mkfs.ntfs? | 12:02 |
| ann123 | hi all,i ask a question use my poor English: why 'info tee' go to 'man into' in ubuntu, but fedora all right? | 12:02 |
| allquixotic | veggteppe: mkfs.ntfs is the command name itself, you would run that in a terminal, but using `sudo'. Actually, you sound unfamiliar with the command line; skip all that and install gparted | 12:02 |
| richardcavell | veggteppe: what device is your external hard disk | 12:02 |
| Ddorda | richardcavell, allquixotic: i found in the logs: Aug 1 13:24:33 dor-laptop kernel: [ 737.440821] usb 1-3: USB disconnect, address 3 | 12:03 |
| richardcavell | veggteppe: actually do what allquixotic said and install gparted so you don't stuff it up | 12:03 |
| allquixotic | Ddorda: That message would appear if you unplugged a USB device, have you done so lately? | 12:03 |
| veggteppe | oki:p | 12:03 |
| ann123 | sorry ,'info tee' goto 'man tee' | 12:03 |
| ortsvorsteher | whats your preferred language? ann123 | 12:03 |
| Ddorda | allquixotic: i didn't | 12:03 |
| veggteppe | Okay, it's on now:p | 12:03 |
| ann123 | ortsvorsteher: I am a Chinese | 12:04 |
| allquixotic | veggteppe: gparted will be under System -> Administration -> Partition Editor | 12:04 |
| veggteppe | Allready opend xD | 12:04 |
| allquixotic | veggteppe: It's pretty intuitive, and the GUI will let you format your partition as NTFS | 12:04 |
| allquixotic | You'll lose your data though, as I'm sure gparted warns you | 12:04 |
| naxa | hi! is there any way to see the raw data packets what comes to one of my interfaces? (i'm a bit newbee...) | 12:04 |
| veggteppe | Aye, but it seems like im not able to press anything on gparted | 12:04 |
| allquixotic | Ddorda: Hmm, it sounds like either you're having intermittent USB bus hardware failure, or the bus is turning itself off (which would be bad, but it's known to happen, as Mac OSX had a bug just like that.) | 12:05 |
| allquixotic | Ddorda: Google around for "usb bus power management" | 12:05 |
| veggteppe | allquixotic: Or is it: Partition table? | 12:05 |
| allquixotic | veggteppe: If you started gparted from the terminal and you launched it as a regular user, you won't have permission to change anything | 12:05 |
| Keiffer | anyone here uses maltego? | 12:05 |
| allquixotic | veggteppe: You need to launch it as root | 12:05 |
| veggteppe | launched it with sudo | 12:06 |
| veggteppe | root = sudo su ? | 12:06 |
| allquixotic | naxa: Wireshark | 12:06 |
| allquixotic | veggteppe: sudo should work, actually | 12:06 |
| allquixotic | veggteppe: But just to be sure, try the icon in System -> Administration -> Partition Editor | 12:06 |
| GvM | hey guys. is there any way to use dvd iso shared on ftp as repo in installer? | 12:06 |
| naxa | allquixotic: thanks! | 12:07 |
| allquixotic | GvM: Are the contents of the ISO hosted on FTP, or just the .iso file itself? | 12:07 |
| veggteppe | allquixotic: Still not many options available.P | 12:07 |
| allquixotic | veggteppe: Did gparted prompt you for your root password when you launched it? | 12:07 |
| GvM | allquixotic, it's just an iso mounted as ftp :D | 12:07 |
| veggteppe | Allquixotic: Aye | 12:08 |
| allquixotic | veggteppe: What happens if you click on a partition in the list and right-click? Can you format it using the "Format to" menu? | 12:08 |
| allquixotic | veggteppe: If not, you may have to install the ntfsprogs package as I stated earlier... although I _thought_ GParted depended on it... | 12:08 |
| GvM | i mean... an iso set as ftp root on one pc | 12:09 |
| veggteppe | allquixotic: Nope, no luck on gparted =( | 12:09 |
| allquixotic | GvM: Oh ok, so when you FTP in, you can see the actual files inside the iso? | 12:09 |
| GvM | yeah | 12:09 |
| om26er | how do I install /var and /usr on the same drive | 12:10 |
| GvM | command-line expert installer begins to fetch base installing packages, and then complains that it can't get linux-firmware...2.0*** thought there is no such file on dvd :D | 12:10 |
| allquixotic | GvM: There may be a way to use that, then, but the real question is, how are you getting to the installer if you just have the files in FTP? | 12:10 |
| linduxed | is there a way to check what applications are using swap? | 12:10 |
| GvM | allquixotic well i use minimal ubuntu image :) or pxe boot | 12:10 |
| richardcavell | allquixotic: gparted suggests ntfsprogs, doesn't depend | 12:10 |
| allquixotic | richardcavell: Yeah, I didn't take the time to actually investigate that, shame on me | 12:10 |
| allquixotic | veggteppe: Restart GParted after installing ntfsprogs and try it again :-) | 12:11 |
| allquixotic | GvM: Ah, I've done some PXE stuff before, but I never got errors like that | 12:11 |
| allquixotic | GvM: In theory, what you're trying to do _should_ work | 12:11 |
| veggteppe | allquixotic: No Luck:P | 12:12 |
| allquixotic | om26er: /var and /usr are automatically installed on the same drive if you accept Ubuntu's default configuration. Or aren't they? The installer lets you choose how to partition if you select a custom layout. | 12:12 |
| allquixotic | veggteppe: `sudo su' to a root shell and try launching gparted from there... you might have a PAM issue with authenticating as root properly | 12:13 |
| veggteppe | allquixotic: No Luck there either xD | 12:13 |
| jrib | veggteppe, allquixotic: is Ā« gksudo gparted Ā» not working? | 12:13 |
| veggteppe | allquixotic: What im wondering is: i got the ability to make a "Partition table" and that states that all my stuff will be erased, that may be the right place or?:P | 12:14 |
| allquixotic | jrib: The icon in System -> Administration -> Partition Editor is reportedly causing GParted to start as if it were invoked by a regular user at a terminal, i.e. without super user privileges. But it _does_ ask for his password. | 12:14 |
| Olof2 | Someone dual-booting windows xp and Ubuntu that can help me? | 12:14 |
| linduxed | is there a way to check what applications are using swap? | 12:14 |
| allquixotic | veggteppe: The only reason it'd ask to create a new partition table would be if the drive is totally uninitialized, or contains a partition table that Ubuntu can't recognize at all | 12:14 |
| ann123 | why 'info tee' jump to 'man tee' but 'info coreutils tee' in ubuntu? | 12:15 |
| allquixotic | veggteppe: If you tell it to create a new partition table on a drive that has multiple partitions, _all data_ on _all_ the partitions will be lost -- so I don't recommend that unless you're using a disk that you can afford to nuke | 12:15 |
| veggteppe | allquixotic: mkay | 12:15 |

| Olof2 | need help with dual-booting windows and ubuntu using grub | 12:16 |
| jrib | linduxed: gnome-system-monitor | 12:16 |
| veggteppe | allquixotic: reason why im trying to fix this is: i need to install windows, to install ubuntu ;:P, dual bot that is. BUT, when i enter the windows disc, i get the ability to use a terimnal, were i got the option to: convert, is that any option? | 12:16 |
| ann123 | richardcavell: yes, but no one answer my question | 12:17 |
| allquixotic | veggteppe: Did you install Windows before Ubuntu? | 12:17 |
| veggteppe | Other way around, :P, and getting blue screen atm:p | 12:17 |
| kindofabuzz | just forget the windows install. you don't need windows! =) | 12:17 |
| bazhang | !ot > kindofabuzz | 12:17 |
| ubottu | kindofabuzz, please see my private message | 12:17 |
| xps9000 | He's right :P Just use VMware for windows. Hah | 12:18 |
| veggteppe | kindofabuzz: hehe, need a windows aswell :P | 12:18 |
| allquixotic | veggteppe: The blue screen is probably because Windows is upset that you have uprooted its master boot record | 12:18 |
| allquixotic | I don't know what the option to "convert" has to do with anything; I've never seen anything about that | 12:18 |
| Olof2 | I'm having trouble with dual-booting atm , Grub can't find my windows installation.. | 12:18 |
| linduxed | jrib: what is swap referenced as? | 12:19 |
| jrib | linduxed: virtual memory | 12:19 |
| allquixotic | veggteppe: The recommended method of installation is to first install Windows, then Ubuntu... this is much less error prone | 12:19 |
| linduxed | jrib: ok | 12:19 |
| jrib | linduxed: it's not one of the fields shown by default, so you'll need to enable it | 12:19 |
| GvM | allquixotic, Do you have any other ideas on how could I install ubuntu from dvd using two pc's and 1gb usb-stick and no dvd-drives? xD I just want to get some clean install (not from livecd) on my netbook. but I only have 1gb stick :( probably I can use "reconstructor" to make own distro with only packets i need but thy download links for it are broken and sourceforge got only some old version :( also I could probably share dvd as windows share, but it appears th | 12:19 |
| linduxed | jrib: i noticed | 12:20 |
| GvM | o_O | 12:20 |
| albano | olof2:enter the recovery mode and do update grubloader | 12:20 |
| jrib | !minimal | GvM | 12:20 |
| ubottu | GvM: 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 | 12:20 |
| jrib | GvM: oh you said dvd. Why not just use the cd though? | 12:20 |
| GvM | i dont have cd-drive | 12:20 |
| GvM | lol | 12:20 |
| allquixotic | GvM: why do you need to use the DVD? I'm pretty sure you can boot the live CD using something like unetbootin or Live CD Creator, which will create a live install environment on a USB stick; 1GB should be enough | 12:20 |
| Olof2 | Albano , just installed Ubuntu so i'm a complete newbie... | 12:21 |
| jrib | GvM: yeah I mean use it on a usb stick | 12:21 |
| GvM | yeah it's enought for livecd but i wanna get that dvd installer | 12:21 |
| jrib | !install > GvM | 12:21 |
| ubottu | GvM, please see my private message | 12:21 |
| GvM | so i could install clean console only | 12:21 |
| linduxed | GvM: doenst the liveusb fit on a 1GB usb? im quite sure it does | 12:21 |
| GvM | it does | 12:21 |
| albano | olof2:reboot and to menu enter the recovery mode | 12:22 |
| allquixotic | GvM: so you only want to install a minimal system and you want to install from a USB stick. Sounds like you can use Unetbootin (or maybe still Live USB Creator) to create a USB bootable environment from the Minimal build of the install CD | 12:22 |
| ranga | hello all! I have a somewhat weird problem with my Ubuntu installation on my Phenom II machine. Could someone please help? | 12:22 |

| mataks | how to find a directory? i don't know where can i find the directory of openoffice.. | 12:24 |
| allquixotic | mataks: OpenOffice has many directories containing different types of information. What, in particular, do you need? | 12:25 |
| mataks | what to type in the terminal to find a directory.. like i wanna find the openoffice direcytory. | 12:25 |
| allquixotic | mataks: man find | 12:25 |
| mataks | allquixotic, i want to add new fonts... do you know how? | 12:25 |
| allquixotic | mataks: OpenOffice pulls its fonts from /usr/share/fonts, the system-wide font directory | 12:25 |
| allquixotic | mataks: If you have a true type font (.ttf file) you can put it in /usr/share/fonts/truetype | 12:26 |
| mataks | allquixotic, where to get openoffice font? | 12:26 |
| GvM | allquixotic, well i want some small result without any downloads from internet. like i install minimal console, enable root, then add gnome without all that unused things, add abiword, totem, pidgin, no langpacks, epiphany - that's all i need on my netbook :D | 12:26 |
| allquixotic | mataks: OpenOffice uses font formats that are supported by the entire system. Any font you find that is supported in general on Linux will work (specifically, OpenType or TrueType fonts) | 12:27 |
| allquixotic | mataks: If you're trying to actually _find_ new fonts, well, I can't really help you there; you'll need to go to a company that sells new fonts. I consider them like a piece of artwork. A select few are free software and redistributable, but most custom fonts cost money. | 12:27 |
| jonesy__ | hello ? any one know much about ati drivers on the linux kernel here | 12:27 |
| mataks | allquixotic, ok thnx for the info . | 12:28 |
| allquixotic | GvM: Have you tried the netbook respin of Ubuntu? | 12:28 |
| GvM | nah i dont want it :[ | 12:28 |
| GvM | probably i should try to make my own respin on virtualbox but i cant get reconstructor :( | 12:28 |
| Lord-Readman | I want to make Windows XP boot as default, I currently do this by changing default 0 to default 4, (linux, linux recovery, memtest, divider, XP) however when I update, and a new kernal is out, it changes to linuxnew, linuxnew recovery, linux, linux recovery, memtest, divider, XP. Thus it default loads MEMTEST!, so I have to go in and delete the old kernals, uninstall them, update-grub for it to get back to normal. | 12:29 |
| Lord-Readman | Is there a flag I can add to XP? to make it just select! | 12:29 |
| ranga | I have a problem with network speed throttling down unexpectedly. The machine connects through a wireless N router as wired gigE. The router is performing fine since another machine in Windows that connects wirelessly to the same router doesn't see this speed drop when it is occuring on this machine in question. I am running Ubuntu 9.10. When I restart my network using /etc/init.d/networking restart, there is no change. | 12:29 |
| ranga | I tried defining the /etc/network/interfaces to include eth0 and wlan0 but that didn't help either. The only way I can get the speed back to the original 6 mbps range is by rebooting the machine. Even then not all reboots restore the network speed. The speed drops to as low as 200 kbps. I am using a bandwidth testing site to measure. I don't see any errors that I can spot in "dmesg". I have been using linux a while and | 12:29 |
| ranga | like to play with it but in this case, I don't know where to begin. Also, I had this similar problem with Fedora and Suse as well. So, I suspect hardware but how can I confirm? | 12:29 |
| FloodBot2 | ranga: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 12:29 |
| GvM | also i can't tell authors that the links on their website are broken cause thy captcha doesn work in there :D | 12:29 |
| jrib | Lord-Readman: make windows, first on your list, make default 0 | 12:29 |
| Lord-Readman | but when an update happens, because Windows XP is BEFORE the devider | 12:29 |
| Lord-Readman | it breaks | 12:29 |

| jrib | Lord-Readman: no, make windows the absolute first one. Put it before all the ubuntus. Put it before the automagic kernel list | 12:30 |
| ranga | same issue also occured in 9.04 | 12:30 |
| Lord-Readman | ah, i must have put it inside the automagical list | 12:31 |
| jrib | ranga: are you on 9.04 now? | 12:31 |
| Lord-Readman | jrib do you know if ubuntu will upgrade to GRUB2? | 12:31 |
| ranga | nope. I moved to Karmic to see if this would resolve itself but it didn't | 12:31 |
| jrib | Lord-Readman: I don't know | 12:31 |
| jrib | ranga: #ubuntu+1 for karmic support then | 12:31 |
| allquixotic | ranga: Do you have any way of verifying whether it's simply a hardware "soft" incompatibility between your wireless adapter and your router? Often wifi hardware from different vendors (especially Draft-N) has big performance problems if it works at all, and this isn't a driver bug, it's a hardware limitaton. | 12:31 |
| allquixotic | Lord-Readman: By default, when you upgrade ubuntu it won't automatically upgrade to GRUB2, but if you install a fresh Ubuntu 9.10 it will install grub2. There is a script to manually install grub2 though | 12:32 |
| ranga | I am switching to : #ubuntu+1 on this problem. But no the wireless N hardware is not the problem. This machine is wired as well | 12:33 |
| ranga | even when wireless is disconnected, I have this problem | 12:33 |

| SaLoMoN | yeah Dr_Willis i know what grub is^^ | 12:35 |
| SaLoMoN | but grub2 is new to me | 12:36 |
| Dr_Willis | SaLoMoN: grub is soon to be known as 'grub-legacy' and grub2 will replace it. | 12:36 |
| SaLoMoN | and where's the difference? | 12:36 |
| Dr_Willis | ive not even gotten into the grub2 docs yet. :) i hear it has a lot of nice new features. | 12:36 |
| SaLoMoN | mh nice | 12:36 |
| SaLoMoN | lets wait and see | 12:36 |
| Dr_Willis | SaLoMoN: check the grub web site - proberly too ,many obsure things that me or you would understand. heh | 12:37 |
| Lord-Readman | Thanks, reading about it all now | 12:37 |
| Dr_Willis | Hopefully better error messages will be one improvement. :) | 12:37 |
| allquixotic | upgrading to grub2 pretty much damaged my bootup sequence; I tried to revert to grub legacy but it didn't really take. I get to a grub console. anyway, I'm not seeking support for it; my fingers are used to typing the commands to manually boot my kernel from the grub console at every boot (about once a week) | 12:37 |
| SaLoMoN | then wait^^ | 12:38 |

| legend2440 | Dr_Willis: is grub2 going to be in koala by default? | 12:40 |
| Edico | allquixotic, I solved my problem, I changed the shared memory for my card to minimum 32 , it was on auto. I have no problems now. Do you know if I will have less performance with my video card now? | 12:41 |
| Edico | I changed from BIOS | 12:41 |
| allquixotic | Edico: 32 is an awfully low amount for an X4500 -- it should support at least 256MB | 12:41 |
| === grawity is now known as L | ||
| allquixotic | Edico: if you are using a composited (3d accelerated / animated) desktop, or doing work with OpenGL or 3d games, you will definitely want to crank up the shared memory allocation as high as you can | 12:41 |
| === L is now known as grawity | ||
| allquixotic | Edico: if you're on a netbook or something you may be limited in how much you can allocate, with a low amount of system RAM | 12:42 |
| allquixotic | legend2440: I don't know whether the kernel team has made a final decision or not, but see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/Grub2Testing | 12:43 |
| Edico | allquixotic, I have a pc with 4 GB RAM although the system shows me just 3 GB RAM | 12:43 |
| allquixotic | legend2440: grub2 is benig tested on as many configurations as possible, and if it's got a good PASS rate for the tests, then it'll be included by default | 12:43 |
| allquixotic | Edico: Ah, that's a separate issue entirely -- you're using a 32-bit kernel, without PAE, aren't you? :) | 12:43 |
| legend2440 | allquixotic: ok thanks | 12:43 |
| gaz | Edico, you need to install the server kernel | 12:43 |
| gaz | Edico, which has pau built in | 12:44 |
| grawity | allquixotic: Doesn't the 32-bit one have PAE? (I think it would be dumb if it didn't.) | 12:44 |
| allquixotic | grawity: ubuntu-generic kernel does _not_ have PAE enabled | 12:44 |
| allquixotic | grawity: only the -server variant has it enabled | 12:44 |
| allquixotic | grawity: Unfortunately the -server kernel has many other undesirable features for desktop use, such as a non-preemptible kernel with a 100HZ timer | 12:44 |
| Edico | allquixotic, gaz 2.6.28-14-generic #47-Ubuntu SMP Sat Jul 25 01:19:55 UTC 2009 x86_64 | 12:44 |
| allquixotic | Edico: oh, you're on 64-bit, ignore the whole PAE thing | 12:45 |
| grawity | allquixotic: really? Even Windows has that | 12:45 |
| jrib | grawity: iirc the nvidia driver didn't play nice with it | 12:45 |
| allquixotic | grawity: PAE introduces some problems for the open source graphics stack (GEM); or at least it used to... and it may have repercussions for other drivers too. additionally it's a performance hit if you have enough memory to need 3 levels of PTEs | 12:45 |
| allquixotic | oh, and the nvidia drivers have problems with it too, thanks jrib :) I knew GEM had problems at some point with PAE | 12:45 |
| allquixotic | Edico: The fact that your system reports only 3GB of memory when you have a 64-bit kernel is puzzling though | 12:46 |
| allquixotic | Perhaps the tool you're using to tell you your memory amount automatically subtracts off reserved sections like IGP VRAM | 12:47 |
| Edico | allquixotic, I looked with free | 12:47 |
| JenniferB | I accidentally blocked myself using denyhosts .. how can I re-allow an the blocked ip? | 12:47 |
| JenniferB | (assuming that I can log in) | 12:48 |
| allquixotic | Edico: I'm not sure, then -- free should report the physical RAM size up to the maximum amount addressable by the kernel | 12:48 |
| Edico | allquixotic, also cat /proc/meminfo shows MemTotal: 3276084 kB | 12:48 |
| allquixotic | Edico: Sounds like a hardware issue -- what does your BIOS report your RAM to be? | 12:48 |
| grawity | JenniferB: Stop denyhosts, edit /etc/hosts.deny, edit /var/lib/denyhosts/hosts, add yourself to /etc/hosts.allow. | 12:48 |
| grawity | JenniferB: Then restart denyhosts. | 12:48 |
| Edico | allquixotic, it reports 4GB, I will look again, brb | 12:49 |
| Mr_Kwan | HI, i have just installed a sata dvd r/w but now Every time i start up it reboots!! | 12:49 |
| JenniferB | hehe.. you are everywhere :) | 12:49 |
| Mr_Kwan | HI, i have just installed a sata dvd r/w but now Every time i start up it reboots!! can anyone help me? | 12:50 |
| phil__ | hello | 12:51 |
| linduxed | whats the command for cleaning away configuration files? | 12:55 |
| kindofabuzz | rm | 12:55 |
| theatro | linduxed, with apt-get remove ? you want to also delete the config files? | 12:56 |
| kindofabuzz | apt-get --purge remove <pkg> | 12:56 |
| kindofabuzz | sudo that is | 12:56 |
| hmw | Desktop Cube with some transparency.. when I click on another window, the transparency changes for a moment, maybe its even 100%... i cant find, what plugin does this. Can someone tell me, how to get rid of this? | 12:57 |
| lstarnes | linduxed: there's also sudo aptitude purge packagename | 12:57 |
| kindofabuzz | yeah | 12:57 |
| YafaRay_Guest334 | hi | 12:59 |
| YafaRay_Guest334 | i need help with networking | 12:59 |
| Dr_Willis | the --purge option will NOT NOT NOT remove the USERS config files in teh users home directories.. :) rember that. | 12:59 |
| kindofabuzz | true | 13:00 |
| Edico | allquixotic, the bios shows me 4GB RAM of memory, I changed the shared memory to 128 MB and it works, with 256 I tried again and it doesn't work | 13:00 |
| kindofabuzz | well what do they mean that purge will get rid of configs? like .conf files stashed away somewhere? | 13:01 |
| awesomeguy | i have GCC installed but could anyone tell me how to run C programme thru terminal , i googled but i got GCC programme.c i ran that and got --- | 13:01 |
| allquixotic | Edico: maybe the card's limit is 128MB then | 13:01 |
| awesomeguy | gcc: newfile.c: No such file or directory | 13:01 |
| lstarnes | awesomeguy: you have to be in the same directory as the source file for that to work | 13:02 |
| erUSUL | awesomeguy: is the newfile.c in the folder you are in ? | 13:02 |
| allquixotic | Edico: with respect to the OS not reporting the proper amount of RAM (especially on 64 biit) I'm stumped | 13:02 |
| kindofabuzz | awesomeguy, gcc just compiles it, try gcc whatever.c -o whatever, that will give you an executable named whatever from whatever .c | 13:02 |
| kindofabuzz | i think, something like that | 13:02 |
| lstarnes | kindofabuzz: it's usuallg gcc -o output-file input-file.c | 13:03 |
| lstarnes | *usually | 13:03 |
| kindofabuzz | there you go, had it backwards | 13:03 |
| kindofabuzz | awesomeguy, then once you have the whatever executable, just ./whatever | 13:04 |
| Carsten_ | hi guys... trying to customise my xorg.conf for 1440x900 for 9.04 after a clean install but the xorg.conf contains about 20 lines of data most of it comments... where's the rest gone? | 13:04 |
| allquixotic | Carsten_: 9.04 has a "lean" xorg.conf, leaving most of it up to runtime probing mechanisms | 13:05 |
| allquixotic | it's a new feature of Xorg 7.4 | 13:05 |
| erUSUL | Carsten_: modern xservers do not need xorg.conf to work. if one is present is followed though | 13:05 |
| hmw | I accidentially pasted something like "/media/myssd/somefolder" from the clipboard instead of copying it , now the file is gone. ("renamed from xy.exe to /media/myssd/somefolder") | 13:06 |
| Carsten_ | okay, so can i pick and choose what I put in it, or does it all have to be there the old fashin way if i do use the xorg.conf? | 13:06 |
| hmw | I was trying to get the file name TO the clipboard by hitting F2 (rename file) | 13:06 |
| cdoublejj | since ubuntu is debian based would the .deb install file for AVAST work with ubuntu is AV still good idea even with linux? | 13:06 |
| erUSUL | !av | 13:06 |
| ubottu | A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 | 13:06 |
| allquixotic | Carsten_: If you want to hard code a resolution in xorg.conf then you need to specify the full device, and the screen, and the layout, so yeah you have to use the old style xorg.conf | 13:06 |
| grawity | cdoublejj: .debs should work with Ubuntu, but I don't think you need an antivirus. | 13:07 |
| YafaRay_Guest334 | can some one help me with connecting | 13:07 |
| Edico | allquixotic, this is my mb http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?Model=G43Twins-FullHD&s= | 13:07 |
| cdoublejj | yeah thats what i thought since | 13:07 |
| kindofabuzz | cdavis, you really only need an AV if your are forwarding emails to windows users containing attachments really | 13:07 |
| cdoublejj | linux has bult in security | 13:07 |
| cdoublejj | andgood security | 13:07 |
| cdoublejj | too | 13:07 |
| YafaRay_Guest334 | no u dont need a antivirus | 13:07 |
| allquixotic | Carsten_: is there a particular reason why you can't use the GUI tools to set your resolution though? | 13:07 |
| === DLange_ is now known as DLange | ||
| cdoublejj | windows has but, not so good | 13:07 |
| YafaRay_Guest334 | its a linux kernel | 13:07 |
| kindofabuzz | just so you don't send them something, won't effect you | 13:07 |
| amik | what can I do if I try to run wubi on a netbook and the installer doesn't run? | 13:07 |
| YafaRay_Guest334 | it will | 13:08 |
| Carsten_ | it accepts it, but for some reason im not able to use the nvidia drivers | 13:08 |
| YafaRay_Guest334 | amik | 13:08 |
| Carsten_ | i havent been able to find any reason as to why | 13:08 |
| allquixotic | Carsten_: what video card do you have? | 13:08 |
| amik | YafaRay_Guest334: hi | 13:08 |
| cdoublejj | is linux more vulnerable with WINE? | 13:08 |
| YafaRay_Guest334 | ho | 13:09 |
| Carsten_ | 7300 | 13:09 |
| BusMaster | i have a text app that automagically gets my email address from somewhere on my ubuntu box as myusername@hostname. Where can I change this so that all apps that do so get my myaddress@myprovider.com ? | 13:09 |
| hmw | I was trying to get the file name TO the clipboard by hitting F2 (rename file) and copying the file name to the c.b., but I accidentially pasted something instead ("/media/myssd/somefolder") and I hit enter, now the file is gone. ("renamed from /media/myssd/somefolder/xy.exe to /media/myssd/somefolder") - [sorry for spamming, just wanted to post one clear question and windows pidgin acts strangely] | 13:09 |
| Jordanmota | I need some help with editing my GRUB. I added an entry for windows 7 but it won't boot (says it's invalid). | 13:09 |
| allquixotic | cdoublejj: Windows programs designed specifically to be aware of WINE environments could potentially do nasty stuff if you ran it as root; but since you won't be running wine stuff as root if you follow security policies, I think the answer is pretty much 'no' | 13:09 |
| grawity | Jordanmota: pastebin the entry that you added. | 13:09 |
| Carsten_ | 7300LE is i remember right.. | 13:10 |
| grawity | hmw: it is not possible to rename a file to a directory if it exists. | 13:10 |
| YafaRay_Guest334 | can some 1 help with networking | 13:10 |
| hmw | grawity: well, it disappeared | 13:10 |
| Carsten_ | it used to work fine on 7.10 with the nnvidia drivers | 13:10 |
| YafaRay_Guest334 | can some 1 help with networking | 13:10 |
| Jordanmota | grawity: I will do that now... hold on | 13:10 |
| YafaRay_Guest334 | can some 1 help with networkingcan some 1 help with networking | 13:10 |
| YafaRay_Guest334 | can some 1 help with networking | 13:10 |
| bazhang | YafaRay_Guest334, dont repeat so often | 13:10 |
| allquixotic | Carsten_: Is your problem that you want to set your screen resolution manually, or is it that you want help getting the Nvidia proprietary drivers working? Pick one and we'll work on it. | 13:10 |
| YafaRay_Guest334 | ok | 13:10 |
| hmw | YafaRay_Guest334: what kind of help do you need? | 13:11 |
| hmw | !ask | YafaRay_Guest334 | 13:11 |
| ubottu | YafaRay_Guest334: 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. :-) | 13:11 |
| bazhang | YafaRay_Guest334, give many more details; what you have tried chipset etc | 13:11 |
| d0s4gw | Anyone ever seen the error message from avant-window-navigator that says "Warning: Screen isn't composited. Please run compiz (-fusion) or another compositing manager". ? | 13:11 |
| Carsten_ | nvidia drivers will not work.. | 13:11 |
| YafaRay_Guest334 | my father made a adhoc on his windows | 13:11 |
| Carsten_ | was thinking if i set it manually it may work | 13:11 |
| grawity | d0s4gw: Are you running Compiz? | 13:11 |
| bazhang | Carsten_, notebook or desktop | 13:11 |
| Carsten_ | desktop | 13:11 |
| bazhang | Carsten_, 512MB 7300? | 13:12 |
| d0s4gw | grawity: No, I don't believe so. I was just getting this recently, awn was working fine previously | 13:12 |
| amik | what can I do if I try to run wubi on a netbook and the installer doesn't run (no window comes up)? | 13:12 |
| Carsten_ | 256mb | 13:12 |
| bazhang | Carsten_, which driver | 13:12 |
| grawity | d0s4gw: Have you changed anything in Appearance -> Effects? | 13:12 |
| allquixotic | amik: you're trying to run wubi from windows and nothing happens when you run the exe? | 13:13 |
| * YafaRay_Guest334 slaps bazhang around a bit with a large fishbot | 13:13 | |
| Carsten_ | tried, 96, 173 and 180 | 13:13 |
| bazhang | YafaRay_Guest334, dont do that here | 13:13 |
| grawity | YafaRay_Guest334: fish go m00. Now stop that. | 13:13 |
| YafaRay_Guest334 | baz i need help | 13:13 |
| amik | allquixotic: exactly. I looked at the process list, and saw that it spawns pyrun.exe (or something like that), which dies after a second, and that's it. | 13:13 |
| d0s4gw | grawity: No, the only change I've had is package updates. Btw, it's worth noting that I am using the proprietary ATI Radeon drivers. | 13:13 |
| bazhang | Carsten_, which is the recommended one? the 180? in hardware drivers | 13:13 |
| Carsten_ | bazhang: 180 | 13:14 |
| allquixotic | amik: Sounds like a problem with the interaction between your Windows installation and Wubi (duh!) Sorry I can't offer any more advice, I only tried wubi once, long long ago... you might file a bug against Wubi | 13:14 |
| * YafaRay_Guest334 slaps Bogus8 around a bit with a large fishbot | 13:14 | |
| bazhang | YafaRay_Guest334, which exact chipset; are you logged into ubuntu now | 13:14 |
| * YafaRay_Guest334 slaps BlaSux around a bit with a large fishbot | 13:14 | |
| YafaRay_Guest334 | huh | 13:14 |
| bazhang | Carsten_, I have a very similar card (the 512 though) and the 180 works fine | 13:15 |
| grawity | YafaRay_Guest334: Please stop that. | 13:15 |
| cdoublejj | http://librenix.com/?inode=21 was good read and does a good job explaining why it is so hard for a linux virus to arise | 13:15 |
| bazhang | YafaRay_Guest334, if you need help then give us the info. stop with the /me actions | 13:15 |
| amik | allquixotic: yes, I figured that :-) but I was hoping there's a workaround somewhere... it's just a stock winxp sp3 on a new machine | 13:15 |
| allquixotic | amik: Hmm, so it's a "clean" box? | 13:15 |
| Jordanmota | grawity: here's the entry I added to GRUB - http://pastebin.com/d9467e17 | 13:15 |
| * YafaRay_Guest334 i need help | 13:15 | |
| Carsten_ | may i ask with what resolution? | 13:15 |
| bazhang | Carsten_, did you install the nvidia-settings | 13:16 |
| * YafaRay_Guest334 needs help | 13:16 | |
| Carsten_ | let me check... i think so tho. | 13:16 |
| bazhang | YafaRay_Guest334, then give us the info | 13:16 |
| hmw | grawity: strange, i tried to reproduce and got an error message. After updatedb i tried to find the file, but it seems to be gone. What could I possibly have done?? | 13:16 |
| amik | allquixotic: I removed some vendor crapware, installed firefox and a couple other apps, ran windows update, that's basically it | 13:16 |
| YafaRay_Guest334 | ok my father made a adhoc | 13:16 |
| allquixotic | YafaRay_Guest334: An ad-hoc wireless network? | 13:16 |
| d0s4gw | grawity: sorry, I tried something that messed up my window manager. | 13:16 |
| bazhang | YafaRay_Guest334, are you booted into windows or ubuntu now | 13:16 |
| YafaRay_Guest334 | yes | 13:17 |
| hmw | ROFL bazhang | 13:17 |
| YafaRay_Guest334 | no im using my father computer | 13:17 |
| YafaRay_Guest334 | (windows | 13:17 |
| hmw | bazhang: he's a bot? | 13:17 |
| allquixotic | amik: Just to confirm, where are you getting Wubi from? (To make sure you're getting it from the right place) | 13:17 |
| Carsten_ | Yes, nvidia-settings is installed | 13:17 |
| bazhang | hmw, what? | 13:17 |
| d0s4gw | grawity: it appears you might be on to something... I tried going into desktop effects and I am unable to enable any options other than none. | 13:17 |
| allquixotic | amik: I always worry with free software Windows programs that there's some faker out there distributing a virus masqueraded as a legitimate Free Software program | 13:17 |
| Carsten_ | when i try and run that it tells me i am not currently using that driver etc. | 13:17 |
| grawity | d0s4gw: Try running 'compiz' from a terminal. | 13:17 |
| hmw | bazhang: just loled when i saw "are you in windows or ubuntu?" - "yes." | 13:17 |
| amik | allquixotic: I made it using the netbook remix instructions, and it boots properly and has no checksum errors, but now I want to install it | 13:18 |
| Carsten_ | however when i try and run the nvidia driver X crashes | 13:18 |
| bazhang | Carsten_, ah I see | 13:18 |
| grawity | d0s4gw: The 'none' option uses Metacity (which can do compositing too, by the way, but without any effects) | 13:18 |
| YafaRay_Guest334 | ya im on win (my fathers) | 13:18 |
| allquixotic | amik: Hmm, you *made* it? Interesting - I had no idea you could _make_ a Wubi installer. :) | 13:18 |
| YafaRay_Guest334 | when i try to connect it only uses limited connections | 13:18 |
| bazhang | YafaRay_Guest334, no real way to troubleshoot unless you can access the ubuntu machine | 13:18 |
| allquixotic | amik: I just install Ubuntu and Windows in dual boot configuration. | 13:18 |
| Keiffer | How do I change my name in Ubuntu? | 13:18 |
| amik | allquixotic: foss is foss, I guess. there's advantages and disadvantages, regardless of which OS it's on... | 13:18 |
| YafaRay_Guest334 | i can | 13:18 |
| YafaRay_Guest334 | i have it beside me | 13:19 |
| eoch | I'm having a problem where my system is randomly freezing / locking hard while in the latest version of mozilla (I think that is the culprit) but I went into log viewer and ubuntu is freezing and doesn't even write anything to the logs. Any have recommendations on how to troubleshoot it? | 13:19 |
| d0s4gw | grawity: aborting and using fallback: /usr/bin/metacity | 13:19 |
| grawity | Keiffer: open Terminal, type 'chfn'. (There is a graphical program somewhere, but I don't remember) | 13:19 |
| amik | allquixotic: I meant I made the bootable usb from the image :-) | 13:19 |
| kindofabuzz | Carsten_, would it happen to be a new install of jaunty? I had that problem then once all the updates where installed the drivers worked | 13:19 |
| bazhang | YafaRay_Guest334, then tell us the output of lspci and ifconfig at paste.ubuntu.com | 13:19 |
| grawity | d0s4gw: Can you pastebin the entire output of compiz? | 13:19 |
| d0s4gw | This has happened before, last time I ctrl+c'd it and my whole window manager was messed up | 13:19 |
| d0s4gw | grawity: sure | 13:19 |
| grawity | Keiffer: Or, did you mean the login name? | 13:19 |
| fabio123 | hi | 13:19 |
| amik | allquixotic: the netbook image remix comes with wubi right in the main folder. didn't touch anything from the image. | 13:19 |
| allquixotic | amik: You're confusing me now :S what does a bootable USB device have to do with wubi? I thought wubi installs Ubuntu inside a Windows partition? | 13:20 |
| Carsten_ | yes, it is... i tried again after the updates.... no diff | 13:20 |
| bazhang | Carsten_, did you install the driver? ie from synaptic or the hardware drivers panel? | 13:20 |
| d0s4gw | grawity: http://pastebin.com/m757dd86a | 13:20 |
| grawity | d0s4gw: compiz and metacity _are_ the window managers, that's why they die after you Ctrl-C them :) | 13:20 |
| allquixotic | amik: Sorry, I'm really ignorant about the configuration you're using! I'm probably not the best to help you with this, except to act as a wall to talk to in hopes that the solution will dawn upon you as we speak :) | 13:20 |
| kindofabuzz | Carsten_, maybe try a reboot? then try to install the drivers | 13:20 |
| amik | allquixotic: true, but how would I get ubuntu/wubi onto the windows box in order to run it in the first place? (hint: usb stick!) | 13:20 |
| Carsten_ | hardware drivers panel | 13:20 |
| Carsten_ | tried rebooting as well... | 13:21 |
| Peddy | When I log into my headless server via ssh and I start an http download with wget, the download works fine. However, when I turn off my machine, the ssh connection is closed the download is stopped. Is there a way to get around this? | 13:21 |
| bazhang | Carsten_, and it crashed? | 13:21 |
| allquixotic | amik: Ohhhh, gotcha! Right! Netbooks, don't have CD drives... | 13:21 |
| Carsten_ | yes | 13:21 |
| grawity | amik: Copy the Wubi.exe and the Ubuntu ISO to that stick. | 13:21 |
| allquixotic | amik: But... I thought wubi was distributed as a downloadable EXE. | 13:21 |
| Carsten_ | let me see if i can find the log and ill pastebin it | 13:21 |
| Keiffer | grawity, i only have one profile, user. | 13:21 |
| bazhang | Carsten_, what about installing from synaptic package manager | 13:21 |
| Keiffer | grawity user@computer | 13:21 |
| Jordanmota | grawity: here's my output of fdisk -l -> http://pastebin.com/d5060b3ac | 13:21 |
| grawity | allquixotic: It is. | 13:21 |
| Carsten_ | tried that... same result | 13:21 |
| bazhang | Carsten_, synaptic crashed? | 13:21 |
| Keiffer | grawity, i want to rename user to my name. and not to interfere with other programs | 13:22 |
| grawity | d0s4gw: Is there anything in /var/log/Xorg.0.log? | 13:22 |
| allquixotic | amik: So you're saying you created an Ubuntu Netbook Remix "live USB stick" (still wrapping my head around this) and it shipped a Wubi installer with it? Wow! | 13:22 |
| verma | hi | 13:22 |
| Carsten_ | no X crashed on restart | 13:22 |
| amik | grawity: even better, the UNR image already comes with wubi on it - I just had to download it, run a single command to transfer the image to the usb stick (dd), and plug the stick into to the netbook | 13:22 |
| fabio123 | i want to know: is it possible to get rid of the menubar in nautilus | 13:22 |
| fabio123 | whitout having to recompile and hack it.. | 13:22 |
| fabio123 | it's for the leopard theme | 13:22 |
| allquixotic | amik: I'm impressed :) I may not be able to help with the Wubi in particular, but I might suggest you try to use that USB stick to install in a dual boot configuration with two partitions | 13:22 |
| d0s4gw | grawity: It's a big file, want me to grep for anything | 13:22 |
| GvM | allquixotic, ok i try to write ubuntu-9.04-alternative.iso on my usb-stick with unetbootlin. it copies everything ok, then i try to boot - choosing any options from boot menu leads to internet installation (like menu where you must specify any ubuntu mirror), ok i check isolinux.cfg from iso and boot manually by specifying additional option: file=/preseed/ubuntu.seed - this leads to normal alternate installer, where you install from cdrom. when I get to step: "ch | 13:22 |
| grawity | amik: Um, you could just simply copy the .iso to stick. | 13:22 |
| Carsten_ | brb | 13:23 |
| bazhang | Carsten_, what about getting to a tty and stopping gdm and installing from there via the command line | 13:23 |
| kindofabuzz | fabio123, View | 13:23 |
| grawity | Keiffer: users-admin | 13:23 |
| grawity | d0s4gw: The last 20 or so lines will be enough. | 13:23 |
| allquixotic | grawity: You could? I'm pretty sure that if you just copy the .iso file onto some FAT filesystem on a USB stick it won't make it magically bootable | 13:23 |
| Carsten_ | i had that thought at almost the same second u said it bazhang hehe | 13:23 |
| Carsten_ | back in a few | 13:23 |
| bazhang | Carsten_, nice | 13:23 |
| b3rz3rk3r | afternoon all | 13:23 |
| grawity | allquixotic: ah, I didn't know it had to be bootable too. | 13:23 |
| bazhang | whoops | 13:23 |
| fabio123 | kindofabuzz: menubar i mean, like the Leopard OS | 13:23 |
| d0s4gw | grawity: The last 20 lines are related to the USB mouse... I'll pastebin the while file | 13:23 |
| grawity | d0s4gw: Okay. | 13:24 |
| allquixotic | grawity: to get at the wubi installer, it doesn't; but since he did it the way he did, it _is_ bootable now :) | 13:24 |
| onats | what's a good open source wiki that i can setup at home? | 13:24 |
| YafaRay_Guest523 | hi | 13:24 |
| YafaRay_Guest523 | hi | 13:24 |
| YafaRay_Guest523 | hi | 13:24 |

| bazhang | YafaRay_Guest523, hi | 13:24 |
| amik | grawity: it's not distributed as an iso, but as an img. the instructions in the download page are pretty straightforward - u run a command that transfers the image to the usb stick. the image is already bootable, includes wubi, and everything. I was impressed with the convenience too. | 13:24 |
| allquixotic | onats: MediaWiki is used by Wikipedia and it's FOSS | 13:24 |
| kindofabuzz | fabio123, the sidebar? | 13:24 |
| grawity | onats: Tons. http://wikimatrix.org/ | 13:24 |

| grawity | onats: MediaWiki is often used, but it's kinda ... heavy. | 13:24 |
| onats | grawity, what will you use? | 13:25 |
| kindofabuzz | fabio123, oh | 13:25 |
| * YafaRay_Guest523 wants basag to help | 13:25 | |
| grawity | onats: I don't actually know... so far, I like DokuWiki. | 13:25 |
| bazhang | YafaRay_Guest523, | 13:25 |
| fabio123 | wait* | 13:25 |
| Keiffer | I have the same name for root and for my user. | 13:25 |
| YafaRay_Guest523 | yes | 13:25 |
| amik | grawity: and it did work - I can plug it into the netbook and boot from it and it works great. the problem is now I want to install it to the HD, at this point I don't want to mess with the partitions, and wubi is supposed to do exactly that - except the installer doesn't work | 13:25 |
| grawity | Keiffer: I don't actually understand what are you trying to do. | 13:25 |
| bazhang | YafaRay_Guest523, give us the output of lspci and ifconfig at paste.ubuntu.com then tell us the url | 13:26 |

| YafaRay_Guest523 | ya but not internet | 13:26 |
| YafaRay_Guest523 | on (ubuntu) | 13:26 |
| allquixotic | amik: I realize that you are having problems with wubi and that it totally nullifies its convenience factor by doing nothing with no error messages, and that's unfortunate... at this point you can file a bug with Wubi, or search existing bugs or forums (google is your friend), or you can work with us to try and work out the partition stuff and dual boot :) | 13:26 |
| bleah | thx | 13:27 |
| bazhang | YafaRay_Guest523, what about plugging in ethernet then | 13:27 |
| cdoublejj | how well does ubuntu run on netbooks? when i ask that iguess i mean the latest version 9.04 i think? | 13:27 |
| Keiffer | grawity. I have two users as far as i can see. the one that logins, and Root. Root now has the same name with the user is currently have. I want that user@computer to be me@computer | 13:27 |
| allquixotic | amik: I've done tons of dual boot configurations so I could help you | 13:27 |
| richardcavell | allquixotic: you said you had an Intel GMA 950? Have you tried playing Half Life 2 under wine? | 13:27 |
| bazhang | cdoublejj, very well | 13:27 |
| YafaRay_Guest523 | no my father uses reliance netconnect | 13:27 |
| cdoublejj | thnak you | 13:27 |
| ikonia | cdoublejj: depends on the specification and compatability of the netbook | 13:27 |
| grawity | d0s4gw: There are these two lines:# | 13:27 |
| grawity | (WW) fglrx(0): * DRI initialization failed! * | 13:27 |
| grawity | # | 13:27 |
| grawity | (WW) fglrx(0): * (maybe driver kernel module missing or bad) * | 13:27 |

| amik | allquixotic: I've search around, and when I gave up I came to the pros (a.k.a You) | 13:27 |
| cdoublejj | yes i was very curious how well HL@ runs on the GMA 950 as well | 13:27 |
| cdoublejj | HL2* | 13:27 |
| bazhang | cdoublejj, eeepc 701 4G ram is not bad | 13:28 |
| eoch | I'm having a problem where my system is randomly freezing / locking hard while in the latest version of mozilla (I think that is the culprit) but I went into log viewer and ubuntu is freezing and doesn't even write anything to the logs. Any have recommendations on how to troubleshoot it? | 13:28 |
| cdoublejj | mainyl under windows but hey it wine works too | 13:28 |
| allquixotic | richardcavell: I have a GM965, which is the same chipset I think, but mobile. and no, I haven't tried anything as high-end as Half Life 2. I have tried Savage 2 though, which requires full OpenGL 2.1 support with GLSL 1.20, and it doesn't work because Mesa's shader compiler uses more hardware registers in the output GPU assembly code than the hardware supports. Doh! | 13:28 |
| richardcavell | I've played Half-Life and just completed Blue Shift on my GMA 950. It runs just fine | 13:28 |
| ikonia | eoch: which version of mozilla | 13:28 |
| richardcavell | gives me a good 30fps+ | 13:28 |
| GvM | richardcavell, they ask about second one | 13:28 |
| allquixotic | richardcavell: Half Life 1 is very different than Half Life 2 | 13:28 |
| richardcavell | but only under karmic, not jaunty | 13:28 |
| grawity | d0s4gw: Does 'dmesg' say anything about the driver? | 13:29 |
| minimec | bazhang: YafaRay_Guest523: It's an Ad-Hoc net. He probably chose IP's manually. I guess, there is no nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf | 13:29 |
| bazhang | YafaRay_Guest523, well we need that info to troubleshoot; type in the commands, then copy them and use the windows machine to paste.ubunt.com with it and then give us the url | 13:29 |
| YafaRay_Guest523 | no | 13:29 |
| eoch | ikonia: mozilla 3.5.1 | 13:29 |
| bazhang | minimec, thanks YafaRay_Guest523 did you see that | 13:29 |
| Cube | this is retarded | 13:29 |
| amik | allquixotic: I've done dual boots too, but it's my first time on a netbook (with their built in hidden recovery partitions etc.). plus, I first want to do a test run, to see if UNR even runs well, at least as well as the built in xp. if it works out, drivers all work, etc., then I may make a premanent dual boot partition | 13:29 |
| richardcavell | I know HL1 and HL2 are different. | 13:29 |
| YafaRay_Guest523 | what | 13:29 |
| YafaRay_Guest523 | no | 13:29 |
| bazhang | Cube, ?? | 13:29 |
| ikonia | eoch: ok - stop using that and use the official stable/ubuntu version and see if the problem stops | 13:29 |
| richardcavell | That's why I'm asking too | 13:29 |
| netsurf3 | haha | 13:29 |
| YafaRay_Guest523 | we use the same ip | 13:29 |
| netsurf3 | oops wrong window... | 13:29 |
| allquixotic | richardcavell: I regularly keep up to date with the Intel graphics stack by recompiling everything from git, so I am pretty sure the state of Mesa hasn't advanced to the point where I can play Savage 2 or Half-Life 2 yet | 13:29 |
| ikonia | eoch: that's a good first step | 13:29 |
| allquixotic | richardcavell: Much more info in #intel-gfx | 13:30 |
| richardcavell | allquixotic: mate, I'll join that channel | 13:30 |
| richardcavell | allquixotic: but karmic has the very latest of everything, doesn't it? | 13:30 |
| richardcavell | I hope they backport it all to Jaunty | 13:30 |
| allquixotic | richardcavell: No | 13:30 |
| eoch | I'm really suprised that an app can freeze the system hard like that.. doesn't it have protected memory spaces? | 13:30 |
| * YafaRay_Guest523 uses the same ip as his father | 13:30 | |
| Cube | bazhang: i set up irssi to write logs once every minute, rather than instantly, my setting write_buffer_timeout to 60 and write_buffer_size to 99999999999, because i have my logs symlinked to my dropbox, and it still writes immediately | 13:30 |
| ikonia | richardcavell: 9.10 discussion is in #ubuntu+1 (if you want to check it out) | 13:30 |
| === YafaRay_Guest523 is now known as aaron11 | ||
| ikonia | eoch: it shouldn't be able to - but you said you thought that was the problem | 13:30 |
| richardcavell | ikonia: okay | 13:30 |
| allquixotic | richardcavell: karmic does not have all the latest graphics stack packages, and it will become increasingly outdated over time as packages are frozen in the release schedule; additionally, new software such as graphics stack won't be backported at all | 13:30 |
| richardcavell | allquixotic: bummer for Jaunty | 13:31 |
| allquixotic | richardcavell: it's just their release policy, I prefer to live on the edge myself | 13:31 |
| richardcavell | allquixotic: it's difficult to recommend Jaunty for an Intel GMA 950 user then | 13:31 |
| allquixotic | richardcavell: are you familiar with Phoronix? | 13:31 |
| richardcavell | allquixotic: yes | 13:31 |
| d0s4gw | grawity: I'm looking, I don't see anything specific to the video driver or any errors | 13:31 |
| richardcavell | allquixotic: and glxgears :) | 13:32 |
| allquixotic | richardcavell: Michael Larabel (the Phoronix guy) does frequent benchmarks of the latest Intel graphics stack, and it's been getting noticeably worse with every release since 8.04 or so | 13:32 |
| richardcavell | allquixotic: I want to talk to you about your drivers. Can we join #ubuntu+1 to keep ikonia happy? | 13:32 |
| allquixotic | richardcavell: the OpenGL feature set has been slowly expanding, but the 2d performance has been tanking | 13:32 |
| bazhang | Cube, the logs for this channel? or others as well | 13:32 |
| allquixotic | richardcavell: alright sure | 13:32 |
| eoch | ikonia: is there a way for me to put it in a protected memory space? I'm trying to learn more about ubuntu, so that way if I ever have a problem app at work I can have a better idea how to deal with it. | 13:32 |
| richardcavell | allquixotic: but the Intel graphics stack has been unuseably unstable until about now | 13:32 |
| amik | allquixotic , grawity: well, thanks anyway. I'll search some more, try to work around it, file a bug report. if all else fails, I'll either stick with xp for now, or ruin some partitions :-) thanks! | 13:33 |
| allquixotic | richardcavell: comes with the territory | 13:33 |
| sp4z | how can i see what drivers my wireless card is using? | 13:33 |

| cahippy | hi, im new to linux and would like to know if i can install macromedia programs in linux or is there equivalent os software | 13:33 |

| bazhang | cahippy, shockwave? | 13:33 |
| ikonia | cahippy: you'd need to use the windows compatability program "wine" to use macromedia programs", however not all are compatible | 13:33 |
| eoch | ikonia: I think usually when I notice that it freezes is when I click on the x to close a tab. I'm just guessing. | 13:34 |

| hmw | cahippy: what Macromedia product do you want to run in Ubuntu? | 13:34 |
| ikonia | eoch: ok, a good start is rolling back to the stable version then and seeing if that makes a difference | 13:34 |
| eoch | Boohbah: you mean during startup on ongoing while it's running? | 13:35 |

| grom358 | i just restarted transmission and it seems to be working now.. but the setting keeps breaking every now and then | 14:00 |
| Alvinware | grom358, indeed, transmission was much more easy than aMule in settings. | 14:00 |
| Alvinware | grom358, setting keep breaking? | 14:01 |
| grom358 | yeah.. i had it to limit the download to 0kb/s between midday and 2AM.. and just before it started downloading | 14:01 |
| grom358 | and its only 11PM here | 14:02 |

| uuv | I'm running Ubuntu 9.04 with Sony Vaio VGN-Z11XN/B, and it has a NVIDIA GeForce 9300M GS graphics card. I've been trying to install its drivers from Administration->Hardware drivers, but everytime I boot after that, it goes into low resolution mode and I can't change that. How could I install these drivers properly? | 14:03 |
| Edico | although I'm in the group games I can't enter in a directory that I have permission | 14:03 |
| grawity | Edico: Does 'id' show that you're in that group? | 14:04 |
| grawity | Edico: If not, you need to log out and then log in again. | 14:04 |
| === tonii_ is now known as tonii | ||
| Edico | grawity, I'm am in that group | 14:04 |
| Alvinware | grom358, maybe you can search transmission website out by google, and go into their wiki/doc, all you can do is to set it to the setting that you want, either it work or not, it's depend on the program design. | 14:04 |
| grawity | Edico: Does 'id' show that | 14:04 |
| grawity | ? | 14:04 |
| Edico | yes | 14:04 |

| Alvinware | chili0, yeah, it already installed, look in hardware drivers. | 14:17 |
| chilli0 | ok. | 14:17 |
| chilli0 | Alvinware: So System > admin > hardware drivers ? | 14:18 |
| Cube | bazhang: for all channels. like a global setting | 14:18 |
| Alvinware | chili0, yes. | 14:18 |
| chilli0 | Alvinware: there is only two things in there , both are related to nvidia video cards | 14:19 |
| chilli0 | brb | 14:19 |
| Alvinware | chili0, but the internet work over the wireless connection? | 14:19 |
| Halitech | Alvinware, if their card worked without having to install anything doesn't that mean they didn't have to install the propreitary drivers? | 14:20 |
| uuv | I'm trying to install this http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_amd64_185.18.31.html driver, but when i type "sudo sh filename.run", I get a message like this: "sh: Can't open filename.run" | 14:21 |
| Halitech | uuv, did you cd to the directory where you downloaded the file to? | 14:21 |
| dementor | hi any one use cacti? | 14:21 |
| uuv | I think so | 14:21 |
| Alvinware | Halitech, yeah, that's correct, but if only the propreitary driver have it in linux version. | 14:21 |
| Halitech | uuv, do an ls and see if the file exists where you are | 14:21 |
| uuv | Oh, sorry, now i did it correctly | 14:22 |
| uuv | it's installing now! | 14:22 |

| plovs | uuv, ctr-alt-f1, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 14:24 |
| uuv | okay, thanks! | 14:24 |
| Alvinware | Halitech, for me, it automatically look it up for me, and i guess the drivers that installed was quite correct in company name. | 14:24 |
| Halitech | uuv, press ctrl + alt + F1 | 14:25 |
| Halitech | Alvinware, I just did the same thing with an install of Debian, it found my linksys pcmcia wireless card and loaded the driver so I would say those are not proprietary | 14:25 |
| Alvinware | Halitech, but in nvidia website, it got quite a lots for the linux, it's depend on the company. | 14:26 |

| alfie | i seem to be having a problem getting the source for 'manpages-posix-dev'. It installs fine, but 'apt-get source manpages-posix-dev' actually tries to get the source for 'manpages-posix' i.e. the normal package, and not the development package. any ideas? | 14:36 |
| minimec | !flash > roc | 14:36 |
| ubottu | roc, please see my private message | 14:36 |
| Alvinware | uuv, if you got the right one activated, then you should got the nvidia x server settings, have you? | 14:36 |
| metatagg | !ntfs | 14:36 |
| ubottu | To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE | 14:36 |
| uuv | Alvinware: How do I know that? | 14:36 |
| introuble | hey... | 14:36 |
| introuble | african linux peeps | 14:36 |
| introuble | i have a question | 14:37 |
| Alvinware | uuv, it's in the place that you found hardware drivers, the nvidia x server settings was located. | 14:37 |
| jefinc | !ask | introuble | 14:37 |
| ubottu | introuble: 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. :-) | 14:37 |
| uuv | Like, on the web site? Yes, I downloaded some kind of a package. | 14:38 |
| introuble | i have african linux 9.10 and i have this .iso file and i need to burn it to a cd, how do i ensure that the .iso becomes bootable cd? | 14:38 |
| uuv | Alvinware: Called "nvidia-xconfig-1.0.tar.gx" | 14:38 |
| introuble | there is brasero and there is that built in cd/dvd burner | 14:39 |
| jefinc | introuble: being bootable would already be setup in the .iso | 14:39 |
| introuble | jefinc, i think that it is setup already in the .iso | 14:39 |
| uuv | Alvinware: Sorry, gz, not gx of course | 14:39 |
| === rspiky is now known as bleah | ||
| roc | minimec: hey... thanks for the info, but the flash player doesnt get installed if i click on the link | 14:39 |
| roc | apt:flashplugin-installer?section=universe?section=multiverse | 14:39 |
| roc | thats the link | 14:39 |
| Alvinware | uuv, you downloaded it? | 14:40 |
| uuv | yes | 14:40 |
| jefinc | introuble: simply burning the iso with either of the two apps would work just fine as long as the image is not corrupted | 14:40 |
| alfie | can anyone else using jaunty confirm they can 'apt-get source manpages-posix-dev' and the -dev package gets downloaded? | 14:40 |
| Alvinware | uuv, why not activated one of those in the hardware drivers? | 14:40 |
| dementor | soory my internet conection drop | 14:40 |
| jefinc | introuble: if you run into problems with 9.10 the support channel for that is #ubuntu+1 | 14:40 |
| uuv | Well, i've tried that before but all of them started in low resolution mode so i thought it was not good | 14:40 |
| dementor | so i dont now how to mount a ntfs | 14:40 |
| roc | hey guys | 14:41 |
| jefinc | dementor: are you running jaunty? | 14:41 |
| roc | can someone tell me why the new ubuntu is so slow on my acer aspire one? | 14:41 |

| ubottu | dementor, please see my private message | 14:42 |
| kaini | trokep, before or after installing ubutnu? | 14:42 |
| minimec | roc: You might have to enable '#' uncomment the universe and multiverse repository in /etc/apt/sources or with synaptic in the <Properties <PackageSources menu. | 14:42 |
| roc | minimec: ok... thats a bit complicated for me | 14:42 |
| trokep | kaini, after installing ubuntu | 14:43 |
| minimec | roc not as complicated as you think | 14:43 |
| uuv | Alvinware: Well, i've tried that before but all of them started in low resolution mode so i thought it was not good | 14:43 |
| roc | minimec: i go to synaptic package thing... and then in the properties i user the packagesources and then what? | 14:43 |
| minimec | !multiverse > roc | 14:43 |

| Jordan_Bradley | If I were to run "cryptsetup -y --cipher aes-xts-plain --key-size 512 luksFormat /dev/sda1" to encrypt a partition, would AES encrypt the key while XTS encrypts the data? Or the other way around? | 14:45 |
| roc | minimec: so i have to enable or disable the multiverse thing? | 14:45 |
| jpastore | Is there a WYSIWYG HTML editor that outputs div's instead of tables? | 14:46 |

| roc | minimec: they are already enabled | 14:46 |
| roc | minimec: its really weird... the whole system is quite slow... though windows xp was running without probles | 14:47 |
| minimec | roc: reload the package database (button at the left in synaptic) | 14:47 |
| matiu | jpastore, http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/grids/builder/ | 14:47 |
| Jordan_Bradley | matiu: try running "sudo dpkg -a" I think that's the command. | 14:49 |

| sinan | Halitech: I have just uninstalled it and reinstalled it. | 14:50 |
| Halitech | sinan, I dont use it but look in the settings and there should be something about window decorations, I think that needs to be enabled | 14:51 |
| trokep | kaini, thanks. I've looked at the article, which looks straightforward. | 14:51 |
| kaini | uuv, why didn't you use the builtin drivers? | 14:52 |
| eltume | join channel #linuxmint | 14:53 |
| uuv | I tried enabling visual effects on desktop and it said i'd need the drivers. Also I though i'd need them if i'd like to play openGL games | 14:53 |

| falconic_ | Hey guys whats the best Virus scanner for Linux ? I want smthing which is command line and I can invoke it on specific files | 14:56 |
| minimec | roc: It often depends on RAM. 768MB might be a useful minimum iwth default configuration. Also remember, that maybe the tracking software is still filling the file database afte instalation... | 14:56 |
| grawity | uuv: Does /var/log/Xorg.0.log say anything useful? | 14:56 |
| falconic_ | instead of it running in the background.. | 14:56 |
| eltume | they said it's at irc.spotchat | 14:56 |
| |dementor| | is this good for add to my fstab /dev/sda6 /mnt ntfs-3g UUID=42C88856C8884A5D defaults,locale=en_US.utf8 0 0 | 14:56 |
| grawity | falconic_: None. (Or, if you really need, ClamAV.) | 14:56 |
| kaini | uuv, did you ran an ubuntu update? | 14:56 |
| grawity | |dementor|: no, the UID=.... part must be on the first column: UUID=42C88856C8884A5D /mnt ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.utf8 0 0 | 14:57 |
| Jordan_Bradley | Does anyone know if the guys that manage luks have an IRC channel? | 14:57 |
| Halitech | eltume, then you will need to connect to the server at irc.spotchat | 14:57 |
| eltume | don't get clamav get clamtk it's a GUI front-end for clamav | 14:57 |
| falconic_ | @grawity : are there no virus scanner for linux? | 14:57 |
| roc | minimec: aha... i think this computer only has 512 ram... but that it goes then so slow i didnt knew... i always experienced ubuntu as much resource frindlier... | 14:57 |
| grawity | falconic_: ClamAV is one. | 14:57 |
| eltume | Halitech I tried to | 14:57 |
| |dementor| | :) | 14:57 |
| |dementor| | il try | 14:57 |
| grawity | falconic_: But on Linux, viruses are very rare. | 14:57 |
| Halitech | eltume, do you know if its .net .com .org? | 14:57 |

| minimec | roc: It basically is, but in default ubuntu configuration you have the 3D Desktop running and tracker software activated by default. You will have to tune your desktop a bit to save RAM ;) | 14:58 |
| Halitech | eltume, so you would need to add a server for irc.spotchat.org and then you should be able to connect to their room | 14:59 |
| roc | minimec: no but i have the netbook version... it has no 3d things and also all effects are off... thats why im a bit wondering | 14:59 |

| uuv | I tried to install this driver http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_amd64_185.18.31.html, but when I thought it was complete, i tried "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start" and that's when it said that there were no drivers found, and started gnome in low resolution mode. How can I fix this, and get my drivers working properly for Warcraft III? I have a laptop with NVIDIA GeFroce 9300M GS. Here's my xorg.0.log http://paste.ubuntu.com/241807/ | 15:04 |

| disaster12 | does the ATI HDTV card work in linux | 15:06 |
| vaysu | noh sorry | 15:06 |
| uuv | ikonia: NVIDIA GeFroce 9300M GS | 15:06 |
| vaysu | please can u help | 15:06 |
| disaster12 | im trying to get it too work | 15:06 |
| ikonia | uuv: is that card supported, and if so in what nvidia module versions ? | 15:06 |
| === Xpistos1 is now known as Xpistos | ||
| minimec | heff: Technically with the x-server there is no problem. The problem starts with the GPU. How would you load the ati and the nvidia kernel modules at the sme time. There are probably ways to achieve that with openSource drivers. | 15:06 |
| erUSUL | vaysu: what have you tried and what is failing? it should be easy ? | 15:06 |
| uuv | ikonia: How can I look both of those up? I think it is supported | 15:07 |
| grawity | erUSUL: Recent Pidgin versions (except the newest one) had problems with connecting to Yahoo. | 15:07 |
| ikonia | uuv: why do you "think" it's supported if you've not checked ? | 15:07 |
| grawity | erUSUL: I guess he needs to upgrade from PPA | 15:07 |
| ikonia | uuv: use google, the ubuntu wiki and the nvidia website to find out what is supported by what versions | 15:07 |
| erUSUL | grawity: vaysu i remember... yahoo changed the perotocol... | 15:07 |
| heff | ok thanks | 15:07 |
| vaysu | which protocol | 15:08 |
| ikonia | vaysu: the yahoo protocol | 15:08 |
| akash | Hi I am a newbie,recently install Kubuntu (Jaunty ver).From then "top" shows more than 80% utilization very frequently | 15:08 |
| minimec | heff: ... or you have a nvidia AGP and an old nvidia PCI. The AGP uses the 180 nvidia driver. The other one an older driver ... | 15:08 |
| grawity | !yahoo | 15:08 |
| ubottu | At the moment there are many pidgin users experiencing problems connecting to Yahoo IM, you can try changing your paging server to cn.scs.msg.yahoo.com (port 5050) and see if that helps. | 15:08 |
| ikonia | akash: I wouldn't worry about that | 15:08 |
| erUSUL | vaysu: you need a newer version of pidgin; | 15:09 |
| burkmat | Situation: Box1 is connected to a TV, through VGA, just logged in to a normal gnome session (basically clean install and logged in). How would I, from laptop, SSH into Box1 and play a movie on the logged in session? | 15:09 |
| akash | I suspect , what may be the reason.the culprit are Xorg and Plasma | 15:09 |
| vaysu | i am having pidgin 2.2.1 | 15:09 |
| ikonia | burkmat: you'd have to connect to that box via SSH with X11 forwarding enabled, then set the DISPLAY variable to the Xserver on the box plugged into the TV and launch the movie | 15:09 |
| grawity | vaysu: That's very old | 15:10 |
| burkmat | ikonia, Excellent, thank you! | 15:10 |
| vaysu | ok then i will try to upgrade.then yahoo will work or not | 15:10 |
| bazhang | vaysu, check the link I gave you | 15:10 |
| erUSUL | vaysu: what version of ubuntu do you run ? | 15:11 |

| introuble | what to do? brasero does not recognize empty cd nor the drive when the cd is in? | 15:11 |
| grawity | O_o | 15:11 |
| ikonia | vaysu: ubuntu 7.10 has been end of lifed, you would be wise to upgrade to a supported version | 15:11 |
| bazhang | akash, to what | 15:11 |
| akash | High CPU usage of Xorg and Plasma in Jaunty Version | 15:12 |
| ikonia | introuble: does anything else recognise a cd in it | 15:12 |
| bazhang | akash, kde4? | 15:12 |

| akash | Yup | 15:12 |
| bazhang | akash, turn of desktop effects? | 15:12 |
| jungle | hi to the room i have a problem | 15:12 |
| introuble | ikonia, no ubuntu either, but when i take the cd off then ubuntu sees the empty drive | 15:12 |
| akash | Please how should i do it? | 15:13 |
| ikonia | introuble: ok - so the problem is the drive, not the application | 15:13 |
| ikonia | introuble: either the drive or the cd has a problem | 15:13 |
| bazhang | introuble, try another app? gnomebaker or k3b? | 15:13 |
| introuble | ikonia, im on live cd 9.10 install, can i remove the live cd and use that drive to burn while using the live install? | 15:13 |

| tae | hi i am new to ubuntu, i just installed it, my touchscreen stopped working well. i use wacom drivers, i cannot touch the edges of my screen, i can touch the center | 15:14 |
| tae | i look in mailinglist but cannot find any help | 15:14 |
| inx-live | tae, just curious - what kind of computer? | 15:15 |

| lancelot | D | 15:15 |
| llml | bazhang: do you have a solution about it? | 15:15 |
| tae | inx-live: i did not have this problem on debian. just started now, i install jaunty | 15:15 |
| bazhang | llml, using virtualbox? do you need usb support or not | 15:16 |
| inx-live | tae, which version of debian was that? | 15:16 |
| tae | it worked in lenny | 15:16 |
| llml | bazhang: no need, i just wanna add virtual cdrom support in order to install solaris 10 on it | 15:16 |
| minimec | tae: I guess the touchpad has a different resolution as the screen. You may have to configure that in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, as your touchscreen is identified as a simple InputDevice... like a mouse ;) | 15:16 |
| llml | bazhang: of course, hosted in ubuntu | 15:17 |
| uuv | ikonia: Well, my video card doesn't list here, so it isn't supported? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsVideoCardsNvidia | 15:17 |
| tae | minimec: that makes sense, it is almost like touchscreen area is 800x600 and test is 1024x768 | 15:17 |

| akash | bazhang: how should I turned off desktop effect | 15:17 |
| ikonia | uuv: so that would indicate no support with the version shipped with ubuntu | 15:17 |
| bazhang | llml, well virtualbox-ose is in the repos; you can install from synaptic or sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose (be sure to get the additions and proper kernel headers for it as well) | 15:17 |
| tae | minimec: how do i find the correct settings for xorg.conf | 15:17 |
| minimec | tae: If you had that Lenny xorg.conf for a start... ;) | 15:18 |
| tae | i dont :( | 15:18 |
| bazhang | llml, should be called guest additions iirc | 15:18 |
| tae | minimec: i only saved my /home/ | 15:18 |
| uuv | ikonia: Okay. So, how could i return my system to the point before, where (almost) everything worked except openGL games and desktop effects? | 15:18 |
| tae | minimec: next time i will save /etc/ too ;) | 15:18 |
| bazhang | akash, not sure as I am not logged into kde4 at the moment, perhaps in #kubuntu they can answer | 15:18 |
| llml | bazhang: ah, thanks, i'm checking it out. guest additions? | 15:19 |
| ikonia | uuv: that's going to be hard as you've installed 3rd part unsupported modules over the top | 15:19 |

| Landtat | which I think is causing my sata hdd not being recognized | 15:22 |

| cyberghoser1 | RioKuro, just use sudo apt-get autoremove without any other notice | 16:32 |
| jrib | RioKuro: what happens if you run Ā« sudo apt-get autoremove Ā» now? I think you may have had to do remove --autoremove before | 16:32 |
| grawity | candrodor: After you insert the CD, wait a few seconds, run 'dmesg' in terminal, and see what it says at the end. | 16:33 |
| grawity | candrodor: And pastebin that to http://paste.ubuntu.com/ | 16:33 |
| RioKuro | the just apt-get autoremove thing dit it | 16:34 |
| RioKuro | to bad you have to do it in two commands | 16:34 |
| jrib | RioKuro: no, you can probably use remove --auto-remove | 16:35 |
| RioKuro | no doesn't work | 16:35 |
| RioKuro | still only does the one package | 16:36 |
| RioKuro | rio@BlackDragon:~$ sudo apt-get remove --auto-remove xsane | 16:36 |
| jrib | RioKuro: any difference if you switch the order? | 16:36 |
| grawity | grawity@theory ~$ function apt-nuke { sudo apt-get remove "$@"; sudo apt-get autoremove; } | 16:36 |
| cyberghoser1 | RioKuro, install deborphan from synaptic | 16:37 |
| cyberghoser1 | then in a terminal enter this: sudo deborphan | xargs sudo apt-get -y remove --purge | 16:37 |
| cyberghoser1 | it will make the job | 16:37 |
| meanburrito920_ | my camera doesnt show up in nautilus when I plug it in. any idea why this may be? it is a canon | 16:37 |
| RioKuro | no difference if i switch it | 16:37 |
| jrib | RioKuro: meh, sounds like a bug | 16:38 |
| Beatlesfan | hi all, can anyone assist me with a "getaddrinfo" error using remote desktop? | 16:38 |
| massimo | ciao | 16:38 |
| OttifantSir | Is anyone familiar with how to set up a printer to be available to the network with Webmin on Ubuntu Server 8.04(.3)? | 16:38 |
| RioKuro | i'm just looking for an easy way to do it, not a commandline of a mile long | 16:38 |
| candrodor | gravity: getting a lot of http://paste.ubuntu.com/242001/ | 16:38 |
| jrib | RioKuro: put what grawity said in your .bashrc | 16:38 |
| cyberghoser1 | RioKuro, if you don't expertise with linux and a terminal i don't see the point of using it :) | 16:38 |
| RioKuro | ok will try it | 16:38 |
| RioKuro | don't get me wrong, i've been using Arch linux for 2 years so i know how to use the cli | 16:39 |
| cyberghoser1 | ok good luck then :) | 16:39 |
| oly | anyone able to help me create an upstart script / explain some thing about it ??? | 16:39 |
| RioKuro | it's just that i'm hitting a wall with the ubuntu package manager | 16:39 |
| RioKuro | pacman is so fast and clean | 16:39 |
| cyberghoser1 | so does ubuntu | 16:40 |
| vikas | oly, upstart script? please explain | 16:40 |
| Alvinware | How to apply my settings successfully in the nvidia x server settings? | 16:40 |
| RioKuro | also does anybody know how to make the output of apt-get to be more readable? I think it's a mess really | 16:40 |
| RioKuro | maybe some colors? | 16:41 |
| grawity | How about using aptitude, then? | 16:41 |
| oly | vikas basically i want to set inadyn to launch at boot i know not to use rc.d anymore and to use upstart in its place | 16:41 |
| grawity | It has both a ncurses interface and apt-get-like commands. | 16:41 |
| funkyHat | grawity: your "apt-nuke" function does just the same thing as aptitude remove $@ | 16:41 |
| oly | but i am having problems like when i launch my script i get 4 instances of inadyn | 16:41 |
| grawity | funkyHat: I don't use aptitude myself. | 16:41 |
| oly | no idea if that should be the case but to me its wrong | 16:42 |
| grawity | funkyHat: also, RioKuro wanted that in one command. | 16:42 |
| RioKuro | hm... will look in to that, how many package managers are there in ubuntu? | 16:42 |
| Tniffoc | Are there any free mac spinoffs that will run in VMWare so I can run the iPhone SDK in them? | 16:42 |
| RioKuro | isn't one enough? | 16:42 |
| grawity | RioKuro: apt-{get,cache}, aptitude, and synaptic -- but they all use the same database. | 16:42 |
| Micheil | why are the ubuntu repos very outdated on many things? | 16:42 |
| grawity | RioKuro: They're just different interfaces to the same thing. | 16:42 |
| oly | also been hitting problems with start service never ending or upstart claiming started service are stopped | 16:42 |
| candrodor | grawity rather: getting a lot of http://paste.ubuntu.com/242001/ Is that wireless reference relevant to cd-drives? | 16:42 |
| Alvinware | I can't successfully apply my settings in the nvidia x server settings, why? | 16:42 |
| ralf_j | grawity: not that I'm an expert, but wouldn't sudo apt-get autoremove "$@" do the same thing? | 16:42 |
| oly | the documentation seems useless | 16:42 |
| funkyHat | RioKuro: actually all of the package managers use dpkg to actually manage packages, apt is a layer on top of that that automatically handles deps and updates, and there are a couple of interfaces to that | 16:43 |
| grawity | ralf_j: as you can see from discussion above, no. | 16:43 |
| RioKuro | so what is the base app to do it? | 16:43 |
| oly | so trying to find some one who understands it | 16:43 |
| cyberghoser1 | Micheil, on many packages you can read that canonical does not provide updates for them | 16:43 |
| funkyHat | RioKuro: competition is good :) | 16:43 |
| RioKuro | thnks funkyhat | 16:43 |
| vikas | oly, i am sorry, i am naive in inadyn | 16:43 |
| funkyHat | RioKuro: dpkg, but that is only useful on its own for installing .deb files manually, you want to use aptitude or apt-get | 16:43 |
| oly | well it does not need to be inadyn any service / daemon i would be happy with | 16:43 |
| oly | i would have one as a template then | 16:43 |
| Alvinware | i need nvidia x server settings help, any one could help me? | 16:43 |
| Micheil | cyberghoser1: hmm.. still, surely where they have svn repos they'd be setup to automatically update? | 16:44 |
| oly | even knowledge on how to debug upstart would be useful | 16:44 |
| ralf_j | grawity: I'm sorry, I obviously joined later | 16:44 |
| erUSUL | Alvinware: run it with gksudo --> Ā« gksudo nvidia-settings Ā» | 16:44 |
| Celsinho | hi | 16:44 |
| RioKuro | i'm sorry, i don't want to sound like i'm bashing everything, i'm just trying to understand ubuntu/debian. it's just that coming from archlinux, it all just looks like a mess... | 16:44 |
| funkyHat | RioKuro: I suggest aptitude, just aptitude on its own gives you a nice curses interface with vi like keybindings, but you can also just use it from the command line | 16:44 |
| cyberghoser1 | Micheil, don't really know about that | 16:44 |
| Tniffoc | Are there any free mac spinoffs that will run in VMWare so I can run the iPhone SDK in them? | 16:44 |
| grawity | RioKuro: Does pacman have a GUI? | 16:45 |
| RioKuro | no gui | 16:45 |
| Micheil | okay | 16:45 |
| OttifantSir | Is anyone familiar with how to set up a printer to be available to the network with Webmin on Ubuntu Server 8.04(.3)? | 16:45 |
| funkyHat | RioKuro: s/just aptitude/just typing aptitude/ | 16:45 |
| Alvinware | erUSUL, Why's that they blocked user from changing those settings? | 16:45 |
| rincon | how do i install a .deb package that is saved on local disk ? | 16:45 |
| RioKuro | it's just really fast and keeps the system clean | 16:45 |
| funkyHat | rincon: dpkg -i packagename | 16:45 |
| eltume | Help: my ubuntu is not recognizing any media disc. What's the packages used to auto mount the cdrom and removable drives ? | 16:45 |
| RioKuro | you should try it in a virtualbox or something | 16:45 |
| grawity | rincon: In GUI, you can just double-click it. In Terminal, dpkg -i packagename.deb | 16:45 |
| erUSUL | Alvinware: becouse is a system wide setting the /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 16:45 |
| DasEi | rincon: sudo dpkg -i *.deb | 16:46 |
| vikas | oly, i wasnt aware of upstart either | 16:46 |
| RioKuro | i also like the rolling release thing: pacman -Syu updates the entire comp | 16:46 |
| dremits | hey. in chmod 1 = execute, 2 = write and 4 = read so what does 3 equal? | 16:47 |
| RioKuro | anyway thanks everyone, i'm gonna look around a bit more | 16:47 |
| rincon | thanks | 16:47 |
| funkyHat | RioKuro: you might get fed up with Ubuntu's time based releasing then, perhaps | 16:47 |
| grawity | dremits: The numbers are in octal. Octal 3 is binary 011 (-wx) | 16:47 |
| jrib | dremits: 3 = 2+1 | 16:47 |
| grawity | dremits: So 3 = write+execute | 16:48 |
| dremits | jrib, grawity thanks. me being dumb again lol | 16:48 |
| ralf_j | Does anyone know how to get a Netgear WG121 USB WLAN device working with Kubuntu 9.04? When plugging it in I get the following in dmesg, an that's all: http://pastebin.ca/1514902 | 16:48 |
| funkyHat | dremits: you add them together, no need to worry about converting it to binary if that confuses you | 16:48 |
| RioKuro | yeah i was thinking of the timebased thing, but is a tradeoff you know | 16:48 |
| Cynner | http://www.lostworlds.lv/go.php?1139723800 new website game, come and play | 16:48 |
| Olof2 | Does anyone know how to manually add a windows installation to Grub? | 16:48 |
| dremits | funkyHat: yeah it was just a case of me leaping onto the ubuntu irc before thinking soemthing through :) | 16:49 |
| Alvinware | erUSUL, Is that the only way i can permanently changed the setting by using gksudo? | 16:49 |
| erUSUL | Alvinware: with nvidia cards yes... editting xorg.conf has allways required sudo. | 16:50 |
| Alvinware | erUSUL, Can i change the service Nice value too by gksudo? | 16:51 |
| RaceCondition | what does the "Basic Ubuntu Server" install option give me? | 16:51 |
| RaceCondition | like what packages | 16:51 |
| zargonovski | Hi | 16:52 |
| erUSUL | Alvinware: what service nice value ? | 16:52 |
| zargonovski | whassup | 16:52 |
| funkyHat | RaceCondition: nothing graphical, ssh server I believe, probably just that and the essentials. You choose which services you want to install on top | 16:52 |
| RaceCondition | funkyHat: SSH server is a separate install option | 16:53 |
| Alvinware | erUSUL, It's in the system monitor, gksudo system monitor? | 16:53 |
| Paschu | whats the best media player for ubuntu? | 16:53 |
| rincon | which of these versions of the java package should i choose for ubuntu http://www.java.com/en/download/linux_manual.jsp?locale=en&host=www.java.com:80 ? | 16:53 |
| zargonovski | vlc or mplayer | 16:53 |
| erUSUL | !best | Paschu | 16:53 |
| ubottu | Paschu: 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. | 16:53 |
| funkyHat | RaceCondition: oh ok, well if it doesn't even have that, probably hardly anything! | 16:54 |
| RaceCondition | funkyHat: I just want to decide whether I need it or not | 16:54 |
| Paschu | lol the bot is awesome | 16:54 |
| funkyHat | RaceCondition: whether you need what? | 16:54 |
| mOrO^ | Anyone know where I can get info on getting Linux software for a Creative Player ZEN mp3 player?? | 16:54 |
| datacrusher | hi everyone! im having a problem logging as root, i know the password, but i justa cant, how do i go arround this? | 16:54 |
| TigerDuck | Hi there. How long would it typically take for something to happen after one had hit Enter on "Install Ubuntu" on a baremetal install? | 16:54 |
| RaceCondition | funkyHat: to select the "Basic Ubuntu Server" installation option when doing a minimal virtual machine Ubuntu install | 16:54 |
| erUSUL | !root | datacrusher | 16:55 |
| ubottu | datacrusher: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 16:55 |
| RaceCondition | funkyHat: ...or not | 16:55 |
| Alvinware | erUSUL, The priority things. | 16:55 |
| erUSUL | Alvinware: gksudo genome-system-monitor ? | 16:55 |
| TigerDuck | I do see a lot of CD reading but nothing happens on the screen which makes me rather suspicous | 16:55 |
| OttifantSir | Is anyone familiar with how to set up a printer to be available to the network with Webmin on Ubuntu Server 8.04(.3)? | 16:55 |
| funkyHat | RaceCondition: oh I see, it's an additional option in the installer? No, if something is missing that you want to install you can just add it later | 16:55 |
| RaceCondition | funkyHat: yes, it's an option | 16:55 |
| datacrusher | if i use sudo, i get the messege that im not on the sudoers file. so iv tryed sudo viduso, no success. | 16:56 |
| RaceCondition | OK, I'll just skip it, it's easy to add anything using aptitude later | 16:56 |
| datacrusher | tryed to login as root, i got login incorrect | 16:56 |
| erUSUL | datacrusher: are you logged as the user you created during install ? | 16:56 |
| datacrusher | this i can do. | 16:56 |
| datacrusher | but i cant use sudo, cause im not on the sudoers file | 16:56 |
| datacrusher | i have a problem with the .dmrc files, iv followed this steps https://help.ubuntu.com/community/dmrcErrors | 16:57 |
| erUSUL | datacrusher: again are you logged as the user you created during install ? | 16:57 |
| TigerDuck | uhm, just to make sure my IRC client is working correctly and is sending something to this channel: Do you read me? | 16:57 |
| Alvinware | erUSUL, Yes, but that command give out a system monitor that didn't display firefox in it, when my firefox was on. | 16:57 |
| grawity | datacrusher: The very first user - the one created during installation - is in sudoers. | 16:57 |
| datacrusher | afther this, iv lost the access to sudo | 16:57 |

| datacrusher | i just used sudo to change the 644 .dmrc permissions on this .dmrc file | 16:58 |
| erUSUL | datacrusher: paste de output of "id" here it shoulb be a line or two | 16:58 |
| grawity | datacrusher: .dmrc shouldn't remove sudo access. | 16:58 |
| TigerDuck | Olof2: You need to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 16:58 |
| datacrusher | rebooted, i can log to gnome without the .dmrc claim box, but crapped my root access | 16:58 |
| datacrusher | grawity: i bet it shouldnt | 16:58 |
| jiohdi | Olof2, you dont have an option for xp on the start up screen? | 16:58 |
| TigerDuck | Olof2: You need to add Windows' drive to be bootable | 16:59 |
| datacrusher | thats why im lost | 16:59 |
| grawity | datacrusher: Paste the output of 'id' | 16:59 |
| grawity | datacrusher: Also, are you using the account created during install, or some other account? | 16:59 |

| grawity | jrib: Re-read the above discussion. He's not in sudoers. | 17:02 |
| erUSUL | datacrusher: well you have to add yourself to the admin group again | 17:03 |
| datacrusher | is there a way to do that, whitout being root? erUSUL | 17:03 |
| grawity | datacrusher: Strange... you'll probably need to reboot into the "Recovery mode", and then use this command: adduser cparzewski admin | 17:03 |
| grawity | datacrusher: The 'recovery mode' will give you root access. | 17:03 |
| erUSUL | datacrusher: boot into recovery mode and run Ā« adduser youusername admin Ā» | 17:03 |
| erUSUL | datacrusher: that will let you run sudo | 17:03 |
| jrib | grawity: you mean datacrusher? | 17:03 |
| datacrusher | oh! thanks, ill try it here | 17:03 |
| Windopain | minimec: yeah, that's what i always hear first. i've burned from two pcs, have tried a total of 4 cds, and they work fine on other systems. | 17:03 |
| zargonovski | or use a live cd to reset the root | 17:03 |

| datacrusher | do i need a boot cd to enter recovery mode? | 17:05 |
| funkyHat | datacrusher: grawity has already told you, you need to reboot into recovery mode | 17:05 |
| Alvinware | erUSUL, yeah, and must plus the sudo at front. Thank You very much for helping me out. | 17:05 |
| Windopain | i'm bummed b/c i really wanted to run ubuntu on this sytem | 17:05 |
| funkyHat | datacrusher: no, it is a boot option in grub | 17:05 |

| defrysk | cd /usr/lib/mozilla/and/so/on | 17:12 |
| funkyHat | rincon: just sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 17:12 |
| erUSUL | rincon: /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ <<<< but you should use the flashplugin-nonfree package to install flash | 17:12 |
| datacrusher | why is that? almost all apps, inkscape ginp and whatsoever gots VERY slow if im not on a network | 17:12 |

| Paschu | i wanna edit videos in ubuntu. what are the most popular programs? | 17:13 |
| grawity | datacrusher: It is possible that your sudoers file, and probably other config files, have local hostnames in them. | 17:13 |
| grawity | datacrusher: Without network, the system _still_ tries to resolve those hostnames, but fails. | 17:13 |
| defrysk | Paschu, kino | 17:13 |
| funkyHat | datacrusher: did you change your computer's hostname at some point? | 17:13 |
| erUSUL | grawity: datacrusher that happens when you /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname files do not agrre on your computer name | 17:14 |
| datacrusher | no | 17:14 |
| datacrusher | iv chosed abulafia on its install proccess | 17:14 |
| grawity | datacrusher: Can you check the output of 'hostname', 'hostname --fqdn', and the /etc/hosts file? | 17:14 |
| grawity | datacrusher: There should be a line "127.0.0.1 abulafia" in /etc/hosts, then. | 17:14 |
| datacrusher | ill do that, wait a sec | 17:14 |
| llml | Anyone would please pastebin a sample virtualbox config file, that is, ~/.VirtualBox/VirtualBox.xml by default. mine is missing:( | 17:15 |

| jueves | if I want to talk about nothing at all...wich channel should I get in? :) | 17:18 |
| android6011 | defrysk: idk, I would like to use it on some older machines with small hard drives | 17:18 |
| john4654 | Hi Are there any programs/codecs that can play DVD-RAM files? I have some precious family stuff recorded with a DVD-RAM camcorder, and the only thing that can play them play in Womble MPEG Video Wizard in Windows. This is genuinely the only thing keeping me from migrating from Windows completely. I've tried all the obvious codecs/programs. | 17:18 |
| llml | grawity: oh, i hate to reinstall it, just because of config file missing | 17:18 |
| RaceCondition | grawity: aptitude search is what I'm using, but it returns a lot of things for "man" | 17:18 |
| defrysk | android6011, older systems are not 64 bit | 17:18 |
| RaceCondition | anyway, thanks, I think I got it now | 17:18 |
| android6011 | older by a few years and dont get much use | 17:19 |
| android6011 | i know what im doing :p | 17:19 |
| jueves | does anybody knows about a channel where I can talk about nothing? | 17:19 |
| erUSUL | !ot | jueves | 17:19 |
| ubottu | jueves: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 17:19 |
| defrysk | android6011, netbooks are not 64 bit | 17:19 |
| RaceCondition | now, is the postgresql 8.4 package the current one or 8.3? because I'm not seeing support for PostGIS for 8.4... | 17:19 |
| jueves | or where is the #monoxide channel, dont see it anymore :( | 17:19 |
| RaceCondition | hmm, 8.3, I guess | 17:19 |
| defrysk | and 64 bit has only advantage above 2 gb ram | 17:20 |
| llml | Anyone using VirtualBox? | 17:20 |
| losher | jueves: http://www.irchelp.org/irchelp/new2irc.html#where | 17:20 |
| RaceCondition | I thought Ubuntu had 8.4 already | 17:20 |
| Ddorda | how can i remove the last update of a package? | 17:20 |
| android6011 | I know, but I was wanting to know if a 64 bit version of netbook would be released, eventually some netbooks WILL be 64 bit and just because it has netbook in the name, doesnt mean it has to be for a netbook | 17:20 |
| defrysk | android6011, your query is irrelevant | 17:20 |
| jueves | thank you losher, but I was actually looking for one channel that got lost..and the people was pretty nice over there, was #monoxide | 17:21 |
| android6011 | how | 17:21 |
| DasEi | llml: yes | 17:21 |
| jueves | but is not on the list anymore :( | 17:21 |
| funkyHat | android6011: UNR is compiled for the atom arhcitecture I think, you'd be better off just installing regular ubuntu and using the netbook packages, if that's what you want, or just stripping out the bits you don't need | 17:21 |
| TigerDuck | jueves: /join #monoxide | 17:21 |
| jueves | thanks tig | 17:21 |
| android6011 | I want it for the interface etc, for people who are not very good with computers | 17:22 |
| llml | DasEi: hi, would you please pastebin your config file? mine is missing. | 17:22 |
| Ddorda | can anyone help please? | 17:22 |
| funkyHat | android6011: so just install regular 64-bit ubuntu, then install the netbook remix packages | 17:22 |
| llml | DasEi: it's at ~/.VirtualBox/VirtualBox.xml by default | 17:22 |
| DasEi | llml: which file ? | 17:22 |
| Ddorda | i want to remove an update of a package | 17:22 |
| android6011 | ok, thank you. Thats all I was wanting to know is if it woudl be released in 64 bit or if 64 bit packaes were goign to be | 17:22 |
| bruenig | Ddorda: you mean you want to rollback the version? | 17:23 |
| xps9000 | Ddorda, to completely remove it, just use apt-get remove <package> | 17:23 |
| Ddorda | bruenig: exactly | 17:23 |
| datacrusher | iv checked the hostnames on every file, one of then got 127.0.0.1 localhost, just changed to abulafia and its fine | 17:23 |
| llml | DasEi: ~/.VirtualBox/VirtualBox.xml by default | 17:23 |
| bruenig | Ddorda: unless you have the old package in your cache, probably going to be a tough | 17:24 |
| Ddorda | where is the cache so i can check? | 17:24 |
| addison_ | hmm... debating whether I should self-host or a dedicated host, for a new company, any opinions? | 17:24 |
| losher | Ddorda: /var/cache/apt/archive | 17:25 |
| bruenig | addison_: dedicated | 17:25 |
| Ddorda | thanks | 17:25 |
| android6011 | addison_: if its for you, self host if you don't think you will be getting a lot of traffic right away, dedicated if its not for you and you expect a lot of traffic | 17:25 |
| addison_ | well its an internal site for a sales force | 17:25 |
| erUSUL | !pinning | Ddorda | 17:25 |
| ubottu | Ddorda: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto | 17:25 |
| addison_ | any opinions on providers? | 17:26 |
| android6011 | addison_: hmm, in that case it might be better to leave it internal with no access to the internet at all, except for occassional updates | 17:26 |
| addison_ | let me rephrase, web based CRM software for a sales force (sugarcrm) | 17:26 |

| arabia | i wanna creat an irc chat site if any one have a documents can help me please let me know :) | 17:28 |
| android6011 | ya, then id go offsite to dedicated since customers will be accessing it as well | 17:28 |
| addison_ | any recommendations on providers? | 17:28 |
| losher | Ddorda: I seem to recall synaptic has an option to 'force install' a particular version of a package. I've never used it myself. Depending on how old a version is, it might not be in a repository any more... | 17:29 |
| addison_ | rackspace still the best (been a while since i have really researched hosting) | 17:29 |
| llml | DasEi: oh, thanks anyway:) | 17:29 |
| android6011 | i use nearlyfreespeech.net just for personal stuff that doesnt get any traffic | 17:29 |

| llml | DasEi: okey, but i hate to reinstall it just because config file missing | 17:35 |
| llml | DasEi: guess i have to choose this last choice | 17:35 |
| losher | extor: a single-user boot does *almost* that, but it mounts the root partition at a minimum. To boot entirely disklessly you need the live-cd | 17:36 |
| llml | DasEi: thanks:) | 17:36 |
| extor | losher, I only have ssh access---I need network connectivity in the rescue system | 17:36 |
| erUSUL | extor: just remove the root parameter from one of the netries on grub and you will land in the initrd... it provides a spartan busybox envoirment | 17:37 |
| ribot | i just prepared new usb stick with unetbootin without problems but then eeepc just doesnt boot with it | 17:38 |

| Juan_a_Day | Hello, I would like to Install a TV Card and a TV viewer, Can someone Help me ? | 17:48 |
| llml | how may i remove one old linux kernel? apt-get remove linux-headers-2.6.xx-xx linux-headers-2.6.xx-xx-generic linux-image-2.6.xx-xx-generic linux-restricted-modules-2.6.xx-xx-generic ? | 17:49 |
| losher | extor: I asked above if you had physical access or not, and you seemed to say yes ? I assume you really meant "no physical access"... | 17:49 |
| DasEi | Juan_a_Day: what model (tv-card?) | 17:49 |
| extor | No physical access. Just ssh access over TCP/IP | 17:49 |
| Juan_a_Day | thank you DasEi It is a WinTV-Go analog card | 17:49 |
| llml | RioKuro: global cflags? i thought generally this flag is set in a make file | 17:50 |
| DasEi | llml: use synaptic or dlete by hand from /boot and menu.lst | 17:50 |
| DasEi | Juan_a_Day: so card already installed ? | 17:50 |
| legend2440 | llml: be careful you dont remove the kernel you are using now. in terminal type uname -a and note the kernel version you are using. its also a good idea to keep one backup kernel just in case of problems | 17:50 |
| RioKuro | llml: i just came from archlinux and there you can set it in a file called /etc/makepkg.conf | 17:51 |
| RioKuro | llml: then every time i did a makepkg command it read the file and automatically used those cflags | 17:51 |
| llml | legend2440: agreed, but too many kernels on my machine:(. i just wanna remove some ooooooold ones | 17:51 |
| ibnulislam1 | How to check for a file if some kind of read/write activity on it? | 17:51 |
| Juan_a_Day | DasEi yes it is already installed, And I installed Xubuntu again with the card inserted | 17:52 |
| TigerDuck | Any recommendations for or against ext4? | 17:52 |
| llml | RioKuro: oh, not sure about archlinux | 17:52 |
| defrysk | TigerDuck, nope | 17:52 |
| losher | extor: then you don't have much choice. You have to boot enough of a system to run the ssh server. Since you don't have physical access, that means doing a full, regular boot, which means the minimum requirement as to have at least boot, root & user mounted. All other filesystems are optional though & can be dismounted. | 17:52 |
| aksci | ibnulislam1: ls - |grep <filename> | 17:52 |
| DasEi | Juan_a_Day: hopefully not for tv;; then sudo apt-get install tvtime | 17:53 |
| llml | RioKuro: then what a global flag for? | 17:53 |
| extor | losher, but knoppix can boot itself into a ramdisk...surely there must be a mini distro spinoff of ubuntu for my case? | 17:53 |

| defrysk | RioKuro, then stick to arch | 17:54 |
| defrysk | RioKuro, its seems its your type of distro | 17:54 |

| [texas] | mkay so is there a way to disable the ubuntu splash screen with the bar that fills up | 18:06 |
| erUSUL | [texas]: rip off the splash boot option from grub's menu.lst | 18:07 |
| [texas] | because it seems like the bar stops filling up at a certain point and i'd like to figure it out | 18:07 |
| Juan_a_Day | DasEi because I also want to install an epson multifunction TX300F | 18:07 |
| make | i open a application program default is max. what to change is set? pls | 18:09 |
| geirha | [texas]: Instead of removing the splash screen permanently, you can boot with modified options. In the boot menu, choose the kernel you want to boot and hit e to edit it, then edit the kernel line and remove the word "splash" from the end of the line. If you also remove "quiet" it will be even more verbose | 18:09 |

| evilbug | dotblank: yes. | 18:21 |
| iceroot | dotblank: yes | 18:21 |
| evilbug | dotblank: because of onboard graphics. | 18:21 |
| dotblank | evilbug, what if it has none | 18:21 |
| Paschu | dotblank: yes | 18:21 |
| iceroot | evilbug: no, its also working without any vga-card | 18:21 |

| gbear14275 | argh!!! I can't decide between a debian or ubuntu server based install for my new server... it will be using xen... and I have heard ubuntu is a little non standard (i tried installing it on my laptop but the nvidia video card got in the way). Anyone here use xen with ubuntu and ideally, what are your experiences with it as well as management gui's? (I don't want to configure my vm's by cli) | 18:22 |
| dotblank | But it has no monitor or card | 18:23 |
| evilbug | dotblank: no monitor? you can still boot the computer just not see anything. | 18:23 |
| make | ubuntu server to install oracle is ok?? | 18:23 |
| xiphos | I was having some issues with compiling fragrouter on Jaunty to be more specific | 18:23 |
| iceroot | make: if you need oracle, yes | 18:24 |
| dotblank | evilbug, yes but will it run x and will it still run a vnc server? | 18:24 |
| iceroot | dotblank: no, x will not run | 18:24 |
| xiphos | I think its some kind of dependency / compatibility issue, but I wasn't sure | 18:24 |
| make | yes,i need use oracle 11g in linux | 18:24 |
| epsilon0 | how do i install vmworstation on ubuntu? | 18:24 |

| LjL | !root > stronze (stronze, see the private message from ubottu) | 18:25 |

| dotblank | iceroot, is there a way to run a virtual x server with no display and then run vnc? | 18:26 |
| epsilon0 | iceroot: i find both closly related | 18:26 |
| gbear14275 | ah... I guess I'm learning more and more... does ubuntu not even support a dom0 instance of xen? | 18:26 |
| stronze | thanks ljl | 18:26 |
| Oldek | Hello | 18:26 |
| iceroot | dotblank: ssh -X will use your x-server | 18:26 |
| Oldek | I've got an issue | 18:26 |
| gbear14275 | and isn't xen better than kvm? or has kvm along with hardware virtualization support caught up? | 18:27 |
| bonez46 | LjL: I am talking about all the localization files..all that stuff.. will iceroot's suggestion clean all those out too? | 18:27 |
| iceroot | dotblank: you can start an app on the "server" and see the gui at the client with ssh -X | 18:27 |

| stronze | ljl - learned something new today | 18:27 |
| make | kvm + ubuntu server + oracle 11g need memory is xxxG? | 18:27 |
| LjL | bonez46: yes, although you may also want to remove other packages that the page depends on - that woud be "sudo aptget --purge autoremove packagename" | 18:27 |
| iceroot | bonez46: sudo apt-get purge packetname will remove all a sudo apt-get install packetname has produced | 18:27 |

| rincon1 | what should i install to listen to microsoft multimedia streaming | 18:43 |
| [texas] | sudo apt-get install build-essential | 18:43 |
| stronze | jackd - | 18:43 |
| stronze | stronze@stronze-laptop:~$ whereis php | 18:43 |
| stronze | php: | 18:43 |
| Hasanibrahim | thanks all i will try | 18:43 |
| make | ntpdate ip | 18:44 |
| meanburrito920_ | is anyone aware of a google calendar that tracks the ubuntu release cycle? | 18:44 |
| grawity | GArReT: How about "apt-get install build-essential"? | 18:44 |
| JohnCDI1 | guess not? | 18:44 |
| GArReT | i tried that... and it said something about cant find build-essential | 18:44 |
| GArReT | let me just have a look again | 18:44 |
| DouglasK | Question ... is it normal for Evolution to not display images in HTML mail even after you select view, "Load Images" (Ubuntu Jaunty) | 18:44 |
| [texas] | even without messing with the repos, it should have it | 18:44 |
| jackd | stronze: ok my fault. install php5-cli :) sudo apt-get install php5-cli | 18:44 |
| grawity | GArReT: Pastebin your sources.list please? | 18:44 |
| jackd | stronze: it should be located then in /etc/php5. this path you can set in your netbeans php options | 18:45 |
| clarinet | ^Einstein: It worked, thanks. | 18:45 |
| JohnCDI1 | try looking for build-essential in synaptic if or some reason it wont work in terminal | 18:45 |
| [texas] | JohnCDI, he did | 18:45 |
| mechtech | how do I mount a ISO? | 18:45 |

| meanburrito920_ | what happened to google calendar's public calendar search" | 18:47 |
| grawity | mechtech: Yes. You can call it anything you want, actually, but 'mount' always requires an empty directory. | 18:47 |
| grawity | meanburrito920_: Ask Google. | 18:47 |
| DouglasK | is this a good channel to ask questions about issues with Evolution? | 18:47 |

| dremits | hey is there a command that will apply chmod to all files and directories including the directory itself? | 18:47 |
| JohnCDI1 | what are you trying to get evolution to work with im sure if you google it almost everything has been done | 18:47 |
| grawity | dremits: chmod -R | 18:47 |
| mechtech | !ask | 18:47 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 18:47 |
| Flannel | dremits: What are you trying to chmod? | 18:47 |
| grawity | !google | JohnCDI1 | 18:48 |
| ubottu | JohnCDI1: While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. | 18:48 |
| legend2440 | Hasanibrahim: you still there? | 18:48 |
| GArReT | grawity, i'm just restarting my ubuntu pc again... i'll be back in 15 minutes... need to go help my mother | 18:48 |
| rufensis | Anyone have a clue how to fix "Grub error 2"? I got an old dell desktop from a friend and it has xp on its hd. i'm replacing it with a hd with ubuntu (hardy, i think) and it gets hung up on boot. | 18:48 |
| losher | extor: nothing. I was on the phone. We were talking about running from ramdisk. Unetbootin claims it can install from an iso direct to hard drive. If you can do that with a live cd, you could, in theory, boot off the hard drive into a memory only copy of Ubuntu i.e. no disks mounted. *Much* easier to have someone just slip in the live cd to a reader though | 18:48 |
| dremits | grawity: thanks. does that come striaght after the numbers or before | 18:48 |
| Flannel | dremits: What are you trying to chmod? | 18:48 |
| DouglasK | JohnCDI, I can receive standard mail without issue, but for html mail, the View, Load Images command fails. | 18:48 |
| dremits | flannel my www folder | 18:48 |
| grawity | dremits: Before. | 18:49 |
| losher | extor: and of course, one mistake and you could find youself with a dead system that you can't bring up remotely.... | 18:49 |
| Flannel | dremits: chmod it to what? You'd be better putting yourself in the www-data group, and then making it group writable, rather than making it world writable. | 18:49 |
| mohd | ubottu y wmv files cosider a restricted files ? | 18:49 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 18:49 |
| extor | losher yeah thats where the redundant features of GRUB2 come into play | 18:49 |
| stronze | jackd - To check that Apache and PHP are installed and running, open NetBeans IDE and create a PHP project. In the index.php file, enter the PHP method phpinfo(). Run the file. The standard PHP information page should display. this is where im stuck | 18:49 |
| rincon1 | what should i install to open mms in firefox ? | 18:49 |
| dremits | flannel: sorry i mean i'm going to chmod 775 | 18:49 |
| grawity | rincon1: VLC. | 18:50 |
| Merlhin | yep | 18:50 |
| losher | extor: boy, you like to live dangerously. Maybe we should step back a bit. What are you planning to actually *do* to your server, assuming you get it booted to ramdisk? | 18:50 |
| Flannel | dremits: You should actually not use 775 (the numbers) but instead do: g+w | 18:50 |
| mohd | ubottu y wmv files consider a restricted files ? | 18:50 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 18:50 |
| Besogon | ubuntu desktop switcher 0.4.4 don't work fine with my UNR. Is there someone who make that work? | 18:50 |
| dremits | flannel: oh right why? | 18:50 |
| jackd | stronze: tell me what you have already tried to solve this. | 18:50 |
| legend2440 | Hasanibrahim: try this first http://www.infinitedesigns.org/archives/254 | 18:50 |
| losher | mohd: wmv is a windows propietary format, so yes, I think it's 'restricted' | 18:51 |
| Flannel | dremits: Because you don't want things that don't have the executable bit already set to have them set (you don't want a random file to be executable) | 18:51 |
| extor | losher, I want to install a different version of linux on it and then install windows on another partion using an answer file | 18:51 |
| chief27 | hi. can anyone help. I've installed virtualbox-ose via the add/remove programs. It appears in the list but it doesnt open when i click on it | 18:51 |
| make | mohd try use mplayer to play | 18:51 |
| mohd | ok | 18:51 |
| JohnCDI1 | douglas i believe theres some stuff in preferences with evolution that has some options like always load images and html if present | 18:51 |
| DouglasK | JohnCDI, I'll try it.... thanks. | 18:51 |
| Flannel | dremits: If you needed to set the executable bit on those directories, you'd use +X (not +x) which will add executable only if its already set somewhere (if it was for some reason 744 or something, you could add the executable to that directory) | 18:51 |
| losher | extor: so you need to repartition the root disk to make room for 2 new distros? | 18:51 |
| JohnCDI1 | i dont know if possibly it could be unchecked | 18:52 |
| dremits | Flannel: how do the letters differ from the numbers in chmod? | 18:52 |
| extor | losher, yeah basically | 18:52 |
| stronze | jackd - just followed their guide,created new progect - test1 - phpinfo() - right click run - The requested URL /test1/index.php was not found on this server. | 18:52 |
| mechtech | how to unmount? | 18:52 |
| Flannel | dremits: 775 says "set *this* permission" using +/- stuff says "add this permission to whatever was already there" | 18:52 |
| grawity | mechtech: sudo umount directory/ | 18:52 |
| make | sudo umount dir | 18:52 |
| mechtech | grawity: thanks...I did unmount with no effect :) | 18:52 |
| dremits | Flannel thanks | 18:53 |
| losher | extor: well, I can think of workarounds, but nothing bulletproof.... | 18:53 |
| jackd | stronze: have you saved the projekt to your apache www folder? or at least: are you sure that netbeans will copy it to your www folder befor launching it? | 18:53 |
| brandon95g | im not shurif any of you helped me last night but i got flash to work | 18:53 |
| DouglasK | JohnCDI1, .... nope, same thing. thanks for tryin. mebbe a bug. | 18:53 |
| make | umount don't use the dir | 18:53 |
| TheBase | exit | 18:53 |
| TheBase | lol | 18:53 |
| extor | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GRUB | 18:53 |
| stronze | jackd - i got no clue what you said,i decided i wanted to learn php last night and wanted to be able to test php coding as i learn it | 18:54 |
| JohnCDI1 | does it say anything about load images only from contacts? or load all images? | 18:54 |
| DouglasK | I have it set to load all images.. | 18:54 |
| zargonovski | hey got question plz | 18:54 |
| zargonovski | in launchpad | 18:55 |
| JohnCDI1 | hmm | 18:55 |
| zargonovski | Homepage Content: (Optional) does i take html tags | 18:55 |
| jackd | stronze: hehe. i noticed it :) look. your apache www folder is usually in /var/www so your browser told you that /test1/index.php was not found. so it means that /var/www/test1/index.php is missing | 18:55 |
| mOrO^ | I have a ZEN mp3 player, my puter recognizes it, allows me to transfer files to it, but when I fire up the player it doesnt list the new songs? | 18:55 |
| losher | extor: when it comes down to it, the best method is still to get someone on-site to boot from the live-cd, then install openssh, then you can do whatever you want with the disks. Anything else is basically unsupported, and you risk being unable to recover from a mistake... | 18:56 |
| DouglasK | johncdi1 ... it is consistent across all messages and multiple imap accounts. | 18:56 |
| JohnCDI1 | i remember it used to be ctrl+i i'll look around for something what do you have it set up for ie gmail or what | 18:56 |
| DouglasK | Ctrl+I starts the loadig, but the images never are shown. | 18:56 |
| dremits | hey is there a mail server that doesn't require there to be a unix user per mail account, but instead you can just create a mail user within the servers interface? | 18:56 |
| rincon1 | grawity: thanks | 18:56 |
| zargonovski | no bad boy | 18:57 |
| zargonovski | i'm out | 18:57 |
| guest12345 | i just installed ubuntu and it will not allow me to update it. it says that i don't have enough disk space. but i have well over 15 gigs of free memory. i also have windows xp on this computer, could that be causing problems? | 18:57 |
| DouglasK | JohnCDI1, do you think it might be owing to it being imap? | 18:57 |
| Flannel | dremits: The term you're looking for is "virtual users", and there's a few that support it (if not all). Which mail program are you familiar with? | 18:58 |
| DouglasK | guest12345, what do you get when you type df -h at a terminal? | 18:58 |
| guest12345 | not sure, hold on | 18:58 |
| JohnCDI1 | if you receive mail without a problem i dont see why it wont let you dl images | 18:58 |
| DouglasK | JohnCDI1, nor do I. well, I'll dig some more, watch the net connections, etc. | 18:59 |

| dremits | Flannel: none to be perfectly honest. i used mercury in windows which allowed the creation of users in a list in the application | 18:59 |
| grawity | guest12345: Well, you don't have _any_ free space. | 18:59 |
| mOrO^ | Anyone have experience with ZEN mp3 players? | 19:00 |
| edbian | guest12345: "sudo apt-get clean" might clear up some for you. | 19:00 |
| grawity | guest12345: tmpfs, varrun, varlock, and udev are _virtual_ filesystems - they only exist in RAM. | 19:00 |
| guest12345 | if i log onto windows xp it shows i have plenty | 19:00 |
| DouglasK | guest12345, your linux root partition is full. it can't use the space in widows. | 19:00 |
| grawity | guest12345: First, Ubuntu doesn't know about your Windows partition yet. | 19:01 |
| grawity | guest12345: Second, you _must_ have free space in the Ubuntu partition for it to work correctly. | 19:01 |
| guest12345 | is there a way to reinstall ubuntu and take that free space? | 19:01 |
| edbian | guest12345: Do you have gparted installed? It will give you a clearer picture of how your harddrive is partitioned :) | 19:01 |
| guest12345 | not sure | 19:01 |
| GArReT | grawity, ok i'm back. When I Do "Sudo apt-get install build-essential" it says "Could not find package" | 19:02 |
| guest12345 | where can i find gparted? | 19:02 |
| JohnCDI1 | douglask http://www.mail-archive.com/evolution@lists.ximian.com/msg02045.html | 19:02 |
| wdbl | is there a way to put the "User Switcher" applet in my "Main Menu" instead of on a panel? | 19:02 |
| grawity | guest12345: "sudo aptitude install gparted" | 19:02 |
| edbian | guest12345: If you have it it's in System -> Admin | 19:02 |
| Flannel | !smtp | dremits | 19:02 |
| ubottu | dremits: Ubuntu supports the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) and provides mail server software of many kinds. You can install a basic email handling configuration with the "Mail server" task during installation, or with the "tasksel" command. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MailServer and https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/email-services.html | 19:02 |
| grawity | GArReT: Can you try "sudo apt-get update"? | 19:02 |
| edbian | grawity: His / is full :) | 19:02 |
| bipul | hi | 19:02 |
| grawity | edbian: Ahh, good point. Forgot. | 19:02 |
| stronze | jackd - only thing in it is a html file that displays as IT WORKS!. trying to get test1 to save as html file atm | 19:03 |
| bipul | i am new tonux li | 19:03 |
| GArReT | grawity, i will need the internet for this right? | 19:03 |
| clarinet | Anyone know how to read/write ext3 file system in WinXP? | 19:03 |
| grawity | GArReT: Yes. | 19:03 |
| edbian | guest12345: You need to find some program that you can stand to get rid of to make room. Either that a boot a live CD. live CD has gparted installed by default. | 19:03 |
| guest12345 | it said [sudo] password for bean: | 19:04 |
| guest12345 | Sorry, try again. | 19:04 |
| bipul | hi as i am new to linux | 19:04 |
| guest12345 | it would,t let me type a password | 19:04 |
| bipul | so any one tell me | 19:04 |
| myguy | how do i use synaptic package manager? | 19:04 |
| grawity | guest12345: It just doesn't show anything, but it does accept the password. | 19:04 |
| jackd | stronze: jep thats the default apache file. its always there after you have installed it. so you can be sure now that you know where your www directory is :) just create a file there - say "test.php" and try to code there php with your favorite texteditor. :) | 19:04 |
| edbian | myguy: Be more specific. How do you open it? How do you install packages... etc etc | 19:04 |
| grawity | myguy: You open it, choose which packages to install/update/remove, click "Apply" button, wait for it to do things. | 19:04 |
| dremits | Flannel so would courier be my option? | 19:04 |
| stronze | okay | 19:05 |
| Flannel | dremits: That first page gives a few Mail Delivery agents. Dovecot and Courier are the ones I'd recommend. I'm familiar with Dovecot, not so courier, but that page even gives virtual users as an example, so Courier might be what you'd look into first. | 19:05 |
| Flannel | dremits: Dovecot does virtual users too (I've never used virtual users, but google told me so!) | 19:05 |
| myguy | thank you! | 19:05 |
| DouglasK | JohnCDI1, thanks, but nope... I set it for direct connection, cleared the http cache, restarted the program and same. | 19:05 |
| kid | who is responsible for minimizing and maximizing windows in a linux system? window manager? or sth else | 19:05 |
| DouglasK | kid, the wm | 19:05 |
| dremits | Flannel: cheers. | 19:05 |
| guest12345 | could i possibly remove ubuntu and reinstall it and use the free memory i have from windows? | 19:05 |
| jackd | stronze: if you save a file in your www for example /var/www/test1.php you should open it then to test using your browser with the adress: http://localhost/test1.php ... you get it i think | 19:06 |
| edbian | kid: The window manager. Metacity (or compiz) by default in ubuntu | 19:06 |
| grawity | kid: The window manager - usually Metacity or Compiz (in GNOME). | 19:06 |
| grawity | guest12345: You can just resize the partitions. | 19:06 |
| edbian | guest12345: If you boot a live CD and start gparted you can resize (shrink and grow) your partitions without reinstalling anything. | 19:06 |
| GArReT | grawity, how much CAP will this update need? | 19:06 |
| DouglasK | guest12345, you could. I'd recommend getting a friend over to your house who is a serious linux geek to do it, just to be safe. | 19:06 |
| guest12345 | i'm guessing i should shrink windows, right? | 19:06 |
| DouglasK | guest12345, I would, yep. | 19:06 |
| edbian | guest12345: What is the output of "sudo fdisk -l" ?? That will show us all of your harddrives and their partitions (paste bin it) | 19:07 |

| jackd | stronze: yep if you are the only user on the machine (or if you dont care about the folders local protection) simply change the permission of it: sudo chmod -R a+w /var/www | 19:10 |
| edbian | guest12345: I said to pastebin it | 19:10 |

| kalib | Hi guys. I have an microsd reader in my desktop... The fact is.. I can't receive any message in dmesg when I put my card.. | 19:13 |
| grawity | guest12345: If you had any free space in /, I would ask you to add this line to /etc/fstab... /dev/sda1 /media/windows ntfs-3g auto,fmask=0111,dmask=0000,utf8,uid=1000 0 0 | 19:13 |

| Flannel | GArReT: If you can't connect to the internet, build-essential is available on your Ubuntu CD. | 19:14 |
| jondavis | i just said what i need help on so can anyone help me plese | 19:14 |
| grawity | GArReT: Um, the 'update' command only downloads the package _list_ | 19:14 |
| guest12345 | ok thanks guys | 19:14 |
| guest12345 | i really appreciate the help | 19:14 |
| jackd | jondavis: maybe sudo apt-get install flashplayer-installer | 19:14 |

| JohnCDI1 | DouglasK, You had no problems with it? Just think its the 4306? I've been assuming it was a driver issue for the most part. I just got the thing and never put windows on it so far all I know the connection could be garbage on the windows side. | 19:32 |

| DouglasK | JohnCDI, I've had no problems at all. the 4318 is plug 'n play. | 19:33 |
| peterkirn | Does anyone have a sense of how to address tearing on video playback with the proprietary NVIDIA drivers? Yeah, I know -- they're proprietary. But it does seem NVIDIA has put some significant work into them, so I feel like I'm missing something. Back-end doesn't matter, from gstreamer/vlc to Flash. Forcing v-hold from nvidia-settings seems not to help, which would be my usualy strategy. | 19:33 |
| cparzewski | djisamsoe, my system specs http://pastebin.com/d5f19dc50 | 19:33 |
| iPhreak | anyone here know anything about ad-hoc networks? | 19:33 |
| DouglasK | JohnCDI1, It's not the card, it's the module. and the 4318 uses a different module | 19:34 |

| DouglasK | It really sucks, because in windows the card is just fine. | 19:38 |
| djisamsoe | cparzewski: use ndiswrapper, download 64-bit windows driver for your card. AR242x | 19:38 |

| Guest53030jondav | but i live in the usa | 19:50 |
| jrib | Guest53030jondav: no it doesn't. It says javascript. Did you see my question? | 19:50 |
| djisamsoe | mechtech: i think it's the bluetooth kernel module, seems like it's there by default. may be putting it in the blacklist will deny the module loaded at startup.... it's just my guess.. | 19:51 |
| mechtech | djisamsoe: yeah: well root was also running bluetoothd...had to sudo kill that | 19:51 |
| Guest53030jondav | i have try'd to install the .dev for ubuntu linux | 19:52 |
| Guest53030jondav | but it will not work | 19:52 |
| grawity | mechtech: Um, it would be better to _remove_ bluetoothd ("bluez") than to kill it every time. | 19:52 |
| mechtech | grawity: from synaptic? | 19:52 |
| djisamsoe | mechtech: or may be it's that's from the session menu. try to disable it, logout, login | 19:52 |
| jrib | Guest53030jondav: if you want me to help you, you need to answer my question | 19:52 |
| grawity | mechtech: Yes. | 19:53 |
| mechtech | grawity: doing | 19:53 |
| grawity | mechtech: Search for "bluetooth" or "bluez" in the 'Installed' section. | 19:53 |

| grawity | mechtech: I don't know. "Just in case" maybe? | 19:55 |

| jrib | Guest53030jondav: do you have javascript disabled in your preferences then? | 20:04 |
| Flannel | Bjornlaf: With more recent versions, sometimes mappings are wonky. IDE and SATA are both sd* and depending on your situation IDE might be before, or after SATA. I'd play around with the root entries in your menu.lst (assuming we've gotten to the menu.lst?) If you don't see a menu.lst, then you've got a similar problem, albeit earlier, where stage1 isn't finding your boot stuff (isn't finding stage 2) | 20:04 |

| grawity | dbm: Generally, LCDs don't care about refresh rate. They display exactly the same. | 20:28 |
| jrib | pH: what is the output? | 20:28 |
| pH | it's /dev/cu.PL2303-0000101D, a NerdKits MCU | 20:29 |
| beefheart | DouglasK, it did not make any difference. | 20:29 |
| Guest53030jondav | jrib it is still not working | 20:29 |
| maynards-girl | grawity, do i need to restart the machine? | 20:29 |
| dbm | grawity: ah, ok then. | 20:29 |
| DouglasK | beefheart, there's a kernel module for nvidia ... make sure you pull that out, purge the nvidia package, then reinstall. | 20:29 |
| Guest53030jondav | i did try to copy | 20:29 |
| mechtech | pratik_narain: can you open Xorg.0.config and paste the output to pastebin? | 20:29 |
| === janne is now known as Skiessi | ||
| Guest53030jondav | but it will not work right | 20:29 |
| grawity | maynards-girl: That really shouldn't be needed... | 20:29 |
| unop | maynards-girl, is the VISUAL variable set? | 20:29 |
| pH | jrlb: if I use screen /dev/cu.PL2303-0000101D 115200 and type my msg, it works great | 20:29 |
| beefheart | DouglasK, where can I read something about purging ? im not sure what that is | 20:29 |
| pH | but with echo HEY > /dev/cu.PL* it dont work | 20:29 |
| pH | :( | 20:29 |
| grawity | unop: see above -- export EDITOR=vim; export VISUAL="$EDITOR" | 20:29 |
| jrib | Guest53030jondav: try running Ā« firefox -ProfileManager Ā» and creating a new profile. Good luck with your issue. | 20:29 |
| guntbert | maynards-girl: try select-editor | 20:30 |
| unop | grawity, and that doesn't necessarily indicate that it is set is what i mean. | 20:30 |
| tyler_wylie | Hey, can anyone pastebin their /boot/grub/menu.1st for me? Thanks | 20:30 |
| jrib | pH: what version of ubuntu? | 20:30 |
| maynards-girl | grawity unop this is what I added at the beginning of the .bashrc: export EDITOR=vim \\ export VISUAL="$EDITOR" | 20:30 |
| grawity | unop: Well, it _should_ be set after a re-login. And echo $EDITOR $VISUAL returns 'vim vim' | 20:30 |
| maynards-girl | the \\ is a new line | 20:30 |
| DouglasK | beefheart, in Aptitude, just select to Mark for Complete Removal | 20:30 |
| pH | jrlb: it's a mac actually | 20:30 |
| pH | but in ubuntu, the problem is the same | 20:31 |
| spO | i did a git clone git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-jaunty.git , isn't that supposed to give me the latest version of ubuntu ? but i did a make menuconfig and it reports 2.6.28-10 instead of 2.6.28-15 at the top .... even after i did a git checkout Ubuntu-2.8.28-15 and git fetch.... it still lists the older version at the top | 20:31 |
| grawity | maynards-girl: Adding it to the end would have been better ... but I don't think that should matter in this case. Still, try moving to the end, then reconnecting. | 20:31 |
| jrib | pH: works here for me on ubuntu, try the mac support channel | 20:31 |
| beefheart | DouglasK, that is done. I removed all nvidia packages | 20:31 |
| pratik_narain | mechtech: there is no file of that name. atleast not in search application | 20:31 |
| DouglasK | Ok.... dunno offhand then. | 20:31 |
| pH | jrlb: what channel? | 20:31 |
| grawity | maynards-girl: Or just manually try (export EDITOR=vim; export VISUAL=$EDITOR; crontab -e) | 20:31 |
| jrib | pH: ##osx maybe, I don't remember | 20:32 |
| tyler_wylie | Anyone? I need a quick gaze at Ubuntu's grub conf to fix my menu hehe | 20:32 |
| beefheart | DouglasK, Is there a possibility that the problem is in the xorg.conf ? or would the grep tell me something different then ? | 20:32 |
| mechtech | pratik_narain: sorry Xorg.0.log | 20:32 |
| Bjornlaf | can anyone help me out with my grub error? i've read and tried everything at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 20:32 |
| jrib | pH: ##macosx something like that | 20:32 |
| maynards-girl | ok. let me try | 20:32 |
| DouglasK | beefheart, could be ... make sure the driver is nvidia, not nv. | 20:32 |
| CharlesStandly | hey how do i permantly mount an internal /dev/sdb1 on jaunty? | 20:33 |
| grawity | CharlesStandly: Add it to /etc/fstab. What filesystem does it use? | 20:33 |
| beefheart | DouglasK, that as well didnt make any difference. I can run on both drivers, but i dont get any opengl or d3d in any of them | 20:33 |
| CharlesStandly | fat | 20:33 |
| grawity | CharlesStandly: FAT32, I assume? | 20:33 |
| littlearchie | ubuntu keeps going to maximum brightness on my moniker... anyway to fix this? | 20:33 |
| goten87 | hi all | 20:34 |
| pratik_narain | mechtech: there is no file of such name | 20:34 |
| DouglasK | beefheart, well, I'm really not sure what to say then ... | 20:34 |
| CharlesStandly | grawity:yes how do i add it to there? absolute beginner | 20:34 |
| grawity | CharlesStandly: /dev/sdb1 /mountpoint vfat auto,fmask=0111,dmask=0000,uid=1000,showexec 0 0 | 20:34 |

| ubottu | goten87: 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? | 20:35 |
| grawity | goten87: What is your problem? | 20:35 |
| beefheart | DouglasK, hehe. thats where i am at atm. This problem was soved at last update for me, but now it was not the same. you got a link to a xorg.conf with opengl and d3d enabled ? | 20:35 |
| maynards-girl | grawity unop I added that to the bottom of my .bashrc, saved it, logged outta ssh, logged back in and still pulling up nano | 20:35 |
| pratik_narain | mechtech: then what | 20:35 |
| grawity | e | 20:35 |
| pratik_narain | mechtech: am i missing something | 20:35 |
| grawity | um. | 20:35 |
| DouglasK | beefheart, sure, I'll put mine up on pastebin | 20:35 |
| ribot | hi, i have today tried tons of ways to make a usb stick bootable, without any success at all | 20:35 |
| goten87 | well i need the code to ask for my pc IP | 20:35 |

| maynards-girl | grawity unop if I type manually what you said then it works | 20:35 |
| A | I've tried to make thos so many times | 20:35 |
| A | and hasn't worked either | 20:36 |
| jrib | goten87: ifconfig | 20:36 |
| beefheart | DouglasK, thank you. | 20:36 |
| unop | maynards-girl, what does. type -a crontab give you? | 20:36 |
| goten87 | TY | 20:36 |
| mechtech | pratik_narain: run this command string | 20:36 |
| mechtech | pratik_narain: lspci -nn | grep VGA | 20:36 |
| bruenig | jrib: ifconfig only gives local ip, so | 20:36 |
| grawity | maynards-girl: ...do you use bash? (Should've asked that before.) | 20:36 |
| maynards-girl | unop "-a crontab" ??? | 20:36 |
| jrib | bruenig: he didn't specify so | 20:36 |
| DouglasK | beefheart, http://pastebin.com/m44d4ecac | 20:36 |
| grawity | maynards-girl: He meant 'type -a crontab' | 20:36 |
| mechtech | pratik_narain: make sure it lists your video card correctly | 20:36 |
| maynards-girl | what's bash? | 20:36 |
| bruenig | jrib: indeed | 20:36 |
| bruenig | maynards-girl: bourne again shell | 20:37 |
| DouglasK | beefheart, It will stay there for a month in case you need to go back to it. | 20:37 |
| CharlesStandly | grawity:thanks | 20:37 |
| Laimiigais | hello peoples | 20:37 |
| beefheart | DouglasK, thank you. | 20:37 |
| A | How come when I tried to update firefox to 3.5, nothing happened to firefox but instead I got a web browser called Minefield 3.5 that's exactly like firefox 3.5... | 20:37 |
| grawity | maynards-girl: bash is the shell you use; if you don't know, you don't need to worry about it. | 20:37 |
| jrib | goten87: if you want the ip your router has in relation to the outside world: wget -q -O - http://www.whatismyip.org | 20:37 |
| DouglasK | beefheart, you're welcome. I hope it works out for you! | 20:37 |
| grawity | !ff35 | A | 20:37 |
| ubottu | A: 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 | 20:37 |
| jrib | !cookie | bruenig | 20:37 |
| ubottu | bruenig: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! | 20:37 |
| bruenig | jrib: whatismyip has a script url it wants people to use | 20:37 |
| bruenig | oh hmm | 20:37 |
| grawity | maynards-girl: Try reconnecting again - and immediately after that, env | grep ^EDITOR | 20:38 |
| bruenig | neverthemind | 20:38 |
| maynards-girl | grawity ubon "crontab is /usr/bin/crontab" | 20:38 |
| bruenig | they changed it | 20:38 |
| pratik_narain | mechtech: it seems to do so. it lists it as "01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: ATI Technologies Inc M92 LP [Mobility Radeon HD 4300 Series] [1002:9552]" | 20:38 |
| pratik_narain | 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: ATI Technologies Inc M92 LP [Mobility Radeon HD 4300 Series] [1002:9552]: is it ok | 20:38 |
| unop | grawity, the manpage indicate VISUAL is checked first, so maybe that's worth checking too. | 20:38 |
| beefheart | DouglasK, I am sure it will, but your config is identical to one of my disfunctional ones... hmm What is the criteria for this opengl to start ? i cant see any reason why it would not, when its one the ubuntu signed drivers, the very same that worked for me for so long.- | 20:38 |
| mechtech | pratik_narain: excellent...brb | 20:38 |
| goten87 | can someone whipser me or somthing :O need more help :$ | 20:38 |
| grawity | unop: EDITOR and VISUAL are exported from the same place anyway. | 20:39 |
| grawity | unop: If they're exported _at all_, that is... | 20:39 |

| jrib | goten87: just ask the channel your question | 20:39 |
| maynards-girl | grawity and unop: "env | grep ^EDITOR" = "EDITOR=vim" | 20:39 |
| Laimiigais | hello. Plz help me. I have a interesant problem. My ubuntu don`t see ntfs particion. | 20:39 |
| grawity | maynards-girl: And the same with VISUAL? | 20:40 |
| goten87 | i need to chance a map so i can do things in it its the map www | 20:40 |

| maynards-girl | grawity unop, when I type "sudo crontab -e" it still uses nano | 20:40 |
| unop | grawity, well, that's | 20:40 |
| unop | oops | 20:40 |
| grawity | maynards-girl: ... you didn't mention you use sudo. | 20:40 |
| DouglasK | beefheart, I honestly don't know why the issue. I have a different video card, so I can't rule out that your card is not properly supported. | 20:40 |
| unop | maynards-girl, heh | 20:40 |
| mechtech | pratik_narain: ok...now run: sudo apt-get remove --purge xorg-driver-fglrx | 20:40 |
| Laimiigais | tnx | 20:40 |
| mechtech | pratik_narain: then reboot...I'll be here | 20:41 |
| grawity | maynards-girl: sudo cleans up environment before starting crontab (unless you use something like sudo -E crontab -e) | 20:41 |
| maynards-girl | grawity unop: "env | grep ^VISUAL" = "VISUAL=vim" | 20:41 |
| maynards-girl | grawity, huh? I don't get that | 20:42 |
| unop | maynards-girl, sudo -E crontab | 20:42 |
| kelli | how are you? | 20:42 |
| unop | !hi | 20:42 |
| ubottu | Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 20:42 |
| grawity | maynards-girl: The 'sudo' command removes all unneccessary environment variables, including $EDITOR and $VISUAL. | 20:42 |
| Bjornlaf | so no one can help me with my grub problem? | 20:43 |
| maynards-girl | grawity unop: when i type "sudo -E crontab" it just lists options (i think) | 20:43 |
| grawity | maynards-girl: sudo -E crontab -e | 20:43 |
| dougl | Bjornlaf, ? | 20:43 |
| goten87 | is there a site with all commands for ubuntu :O need the code for making map rights 777 | 20:43 |
| maynards-girl | grawity, that worked! | 20:43 |
| guntbert | maynards-girl: because with sudo you act as a different user, the settings from your own account don't work | 20:44 |
| maynards-girl | how do i change for the default editor for sudo then? | 20:44 |
| guntbert | maynards-girl: type sudo select-editor | 20:45 |
| maynards-girl | gunbert, do i select vim.tiny, vim.basic or vim.gnome? | 20:46 |
| guntbert | maynards-girl: then select the editor you like, after that you should be ok for the future | 20:46 |
| Bjornlaf | dougl, i just recently did a reinstall of ubuntu server 9.04 on my file server, i formatted the root partition and kept the data partitions (not /home).. after rebooting i am getting a grub error 15. i have checked the menu.lst file and all looks correct in there and i've tried manually setting up grub. Due to my PCI SATA Controller being seen first by linux my root partition is /dev/sdc2. This worked previously with ubuntu server edgy | 20:46 |
| blognewb | HELLO? There's no nano in the ubuntu 9 install? is that correct? | 20:46 |
| grawity | maynards-girl: Does it accept just 'vim'? | 20:46 |
| guntbert | maynards-girl: try it out :-) | 20:46 |
| grawity | blognewb: There is, /usr/bin/nano. | 20:47 |
| geirha | maynards-girl: vim.basic is the "normal" vim. Which you probably want | 20:47 |
| mechtech | blognewb: try pico | 20:47 |
| blognewb | grawity: i'm trying to do this.. nano /home/paulm/.ssh/authorized_keys | 20:47 |
| Bjornlaf | i've tried putting grub in (hd0) and (hd2,1) | 20:47 |
| blognewb | is that right? | 20:47 |
| === rincon1 is now known as rincon | ||
| grawity | blognewb: Yes. | 20:47 |
| blognewb | grawity: i get -bash nano not found | 20:47 |
| maynards-girl | grawity unop gunbert geirha THANK YOU! it's working how I want it to now :) | 20:47 |
| blognewb | :( what is that? | 20:48 |
| maynards-girl | i used vim.basic | 20:48 |
| JohnCDI1 | anyone have any experience with ushare? | 20:48 |
| blognewb | mechtech: how is it? sorry | 20:48 |
| leonardo | hi all | 20:48 |
| guntbert | maynards-girl: nice :-) | 20:48 |
| mechtech | blognewb: pico...another command-line text editor...run it from bash all the time | 20:48 |
| blognewb | sudo apt-get install nano ? | 20:48 |
| grawity | blognewb: No /usr/bin/nano? | 20:49 |
| blognewb | grawity: says command not found | 20:49 |
| === leonardo is now known as nood | ||
| === nood is now known as n00d | ||
| grawity | blognewb: sudo apt-get install nano, then... | 20:49 |
| blognewb | "sudo" is used if you are not root, right grawity ? | 20:49 |
| JohnCDI1 | well if anyone has any experience with ushare im streaming to 360 and it detects and plays audio but often the time keeps going further but audio cuts out if anyone has any ideas | 20:49 |
| blognewb | or what is its purpose? | 20:49 |
| mechtech | blognewb: sudo = Super User Do | 20:49 |
| theFunzo | http://pastebin.com/d5e49454b I can't start rtorrent anymore :S the pastebin shows how it is, can someone help me fix it please? | 20:49 |
| geirha | blognewb: Yes, sudo grants you root access for the particular command | 20:50 |
| grawity | blognewb: Correct | 20:50 |
| blognewb | oh | 20:50 |
| blognewb | oh | 20:50 |
| mechtech | blognewb: for running commands as though you're root | 20:50 |
| blognewb | thank you. i am a stupid dumb noob if you can't tell yet so sorry | 20:50 |
| grawity | blognewb: 'sudo' runs the given command with root privileges. | 20:50 |
| grawity | blognewb: Actually, not just root - sudo can run commands as any user | 20:50 |
| r3l1c | blognewb: your doing fine, asking questions is key | 20:50 |
| blognewb | oh | 20:50 |
| mechtech | blognewb: everyone is a noob t some point...no sweat | 20:50 |
| blognewb | yes thanks | 20:50 |

| oskar- | n_nick, dialup network logins are normally logged in /var/log/syslog by the program, that manages the dial. a physical connect to an ethernet network is not neccessarily logged, but you could search dmesg for "up" messages for certain interfaces. dhclient will also log ip acquiration into syslog | 21:07 |

| aueoaouae | ok a clever way | 21:15 |
| phaer | zigibagido: are all of your users in the same group? if so, just do a "chmod g+rwx" on the files (-R for directories) | 21:15 |

| edbian | zigibagido: What are the permissions on that directory? | 21:23 |
| gartral | N1ke_: thats an.. odd card.. ok, through System>Administration>Hardware Drivers activate the drivers for whatever it finds, i got an inkling that your going to find a few | 21:24 |

| oskar- | ;-) | 21:24 |
| Lukasz_Tarkowski | So howis everyone? | 21:25 |
| edbian | oskar-: How do you change the "local_umask" ?? | 21:25 |
| oskar- | edbian, local_umask is a vsftpd option | 21:25 |
| edbian | oskar-: vsftpd is a program? | 21:26 |
| edbian | oskar-: I'm unfamiliar with umasks | 21:26 |
| Lukasz_Tarkowski | well gonna go to offtopic :p | 21:26 |
| oskar- | edbian, more precisely: it is a configuration variable in vsftpd.conf for the vsftpd ftp daemon | 21:27 |
| lwizardl | anyone know how to limit the image size inside a table? | 21:27 |
| edbian | oskar-: Thank you! | 21:27 |
| zigibagido | oskar: how am i supposed to do that | 21:27 |
| DouglasK | N1ke, double check the sliders on the volume control.... specifically, right click the speaker at the top, select "open volume control", and then make sure PCM is aroud 80. | 21:27 |
| edbian | oskar-: I don't seem to have a /etc/vsftpd.conf ?? | 21:28 |
| edbian | oskar-: I am just curious and this is totally unrelated to ftp :) | 21:28 |
| gartral | N1ke_: that was the other thing i was going to suggest, but i wanted to make sure you have drivers for it first | 21:28 |
| N1ke_ | gartral: When I open the hardware drivers, I only get 2 options.. Both for my graphic card | 21:29 |
| robinro | Hi, I upgraded 8.10 -> 9.04 yesterday and since the third reboot after the upgrade my sound is extremely quiet. I checked all volume controls in alsamixer but can't find the problem; pavumeter shows volume at a normal level; Can somebody please help me to get sound again? | 21:29 |
| zigibagido | hello? | 21:30 |
| gartral | N1ke_: well, do as DouglasK said, and you might want too activate one of those drivers if you plan on gaming | 21:30 |
| N1ke_ | gartral: I already have the latest one | 21:30 |
| gartral | robinro: erm.. silly Q: did you turn down your speakers physical volume controlls? | 21:31 |
| gartral | N1ke_: ok, as DouglasK said, open your Volume controlls and make sure most are at %100 except PCM which should stay around 80 | 21:31 |
| wildc4rd | evening all | 21:32 |
| N1ke_ | gartral: My computer peeps, when I backspaces to much... ? | 21:32 |
| robinro | gartral: no, i turned them up to max to just hear a quiet sound; on a normal level i can't hear anything | 21:32 |
| N1ke_ | That must mean something | 21:32 |
| gartral | N1ke_: thats internal speaker.. | 21:32 |
| oskar- | zigibagido, you have some users, that should have access to the shared folder "public". put their user accounts in a group "mygroup" on the server. "chgrp mygroup public", "chmod g+s public", and change local_umask in the vsftpd.conf to something, where the second octal number is the inverse of the group permissions, that new files should have | 21:32 |
| zigibagido | I have vsftpd installed on Ubuntu desktop. Users can not access other user create directories/files in my public directory. How to fix? | 21:32 |
| gartral | robinro: open your volume controlls and make sure you have all your sliders up | 21:32 |

| LjL | Al_nz_lapt: or "who" or "w" | 21:33 |
| oskar- | zigibagido, another solution is to to a recursive "chmod g+X+r+w public" all N minutes by cron | 21:33 |
| Al_nz_lapt | gartral: users just listed my user name about 3 times | 21:34 |

| oskar- | zigibagido, recursive would be "chmod -R g+X+r+w public" ;-) | 21:34 |
| zigibagido | oskar: how do i do that (the n mintues) | 21:34 |
| Al_nz_lapt | it didnt say which tty session | 21:34 |
| Al_nz_lapt | ahhh - who did it | 21:34 |
| jpds | Al_nz_lapt: w does. | 21:34 |
| edbian | uuv: Linux cannot run from ntfs (you don't really want to anyway) The default for ubuntu is ext3 | 21:34 |
| gartral | robinro: now hit control-P and make sure all you options are enabled, paying atention too make sure External Amplifier is OFF | 21:34 |

| edbian | uuv: As a data partition? | 21:35 |
| uuv | Yes | 21:35 |
| linny | uuv: i may be wrong but i think the root fs cant be ntfs you can mount ntfs drives after tho | 21:35 |
| Al_nz_lapt | so is there a way, if I am in a reomte terminal session to monitor a existing tty session? | 21:35 |
| ghostknife | How can I figure out from which repository a specific package is? | 21:35 |
| Al_nz_lapt | like if a lengthy process is running? | 21:35 |

| iceroot | ghostknife: also apt-cache policy packetname | 21:35 |
| LjL | Al_nz_lapt: an *existing* one i wouldn't know, you can plan in advance and use "screen", though | 21:36 |
| linny | Lukasz_Tarkowski: could you tell us what sound card you have plx | 21:36 |
| uuv | Well I don't think I'll be using dual boot and in case I someday will, i'll be able to format the drive again. So you recommend ext3 then? | 21:36 |
| robinro | gartral: "cd capture", "mic apture", "IEC958" and "IEC958 Default PCM" are off, Mix is on, is this ok? | 21:36 |

| robinro | gartral: yes, it worked before with 8.10 and also after the upgrade. pavumeter shows normal volume level and if a change the volume in pavucontrol it works, but its still quite if everything is at max | 21:40 |

| ManDay | i got about a stupid question: How do I quit SSH? (not implicitly through closing all promts but explicitly - so screen remains running) | 21:55 |
| iceroot | Beatlesfan: sorry no | 21:55 |
| Flinty | I think you can use the screen program ManDay | 21:55 |
| spO | how do i make it so ubuntu doesn't automaticcally start desktop and starts console? | 21:56 |
| robinro | gartral: already installed | 21:56 |
| DouglasK | To quit an SSH session, try typing ~. | 21:56 |
| spO | douglask, why not type quit? | 21:56 |
| edbian | sp0 "sudo apt-get remove gdm" | 21:56 |
| DouglasK | sp0 cause he doesn't want to exit screen. | 21:56 |
| ManDay | Flinty, mind to explain? | 21:57 |
| guntbert | ManDay: you'll have to detach from your screen session (<ctrl>a d I think) first, then <ctrl>d | 21:57 |
| ManDay | guntbert, of course i could first detach but i dont want to | 21:57 |
| pratik_narain | any alternatives to glchess for 3d chess game | 21:57 |
| DouglasK | Alternatively, press Ctrl+A, d then exit as normal | 21:57 |

| iceroot | spO: at the session manager (where you login with your password, you can choose what will start, gnome, kde, xfce4, shell, remote and so on | 21:57 |

| spO | edian, i don't want it removed, i simply want console to start instead of desktop | 21:57 |
| lightningseed | what about typing "exit" | 21:58 |

| lstarnes | gbear14275: sudo -i just starts sudo | 22:03 |

| gbear14275 | su is a true "root" though? | 22:04 |
| ManDay | errm well that kind of combo is totally new. considering that i am on a german keylayout the keys appear a little confusing too | 22:04 |
| lightningseed | lstarnes: I would say both sudo and su both have their merits depending on your security policy | 22:04 |

| centropy | no im serious sebsebseb i must update my ssd's | 22:37 |

| mac9416 | iceroot, how do I go about doing that? | 22:37 |
| centropy | don making this up | 22:37 |
| iceroot | mac9416: look at the manual from your router | 22:37 |
| iceroot | mac9416: port 5900 has to be forwarded to your local-pc | 22:37 |
| mac9416 | iceroot, I'm connecting via wireless broadband. | 22:37 |
| Chazz | sebsebseb, wrong | 22:37 |
| Chazz | iceroot, # | 22:38 |
| sebsebseb | Chazz: what? maybe link them to the channal naming page | 22:38 |
| Chazz | erm | 22:38 |
| iceroot | mac9416: so there is no router or gateway? your a connected directly with a wan-adress n your client? | 22:38 |
| centropy | Chazz: are you also on teranova? | 22:38 |
| th0r | iceroot: it is actually 5901 through 5907 depending on the initial invocation of vncserver | 22:38 |
| Chazz | centropy, nope | 22:38 |
| centropy | k other chazz | 22:38 |
| mac9416 | iceroot, I don't have a router, but I'm not sure about the second one. I guess. | 22:38 |
| insigne | como entrar no msn | 22:38 |

| iceroot | th0r: hm, normal vnc is using 5900 imo. but long time not used | 22:39 |
| centropy | gues u dont know to fix my problem sebsebseb | 22:39 |
| sebsebseb | centropy: you can try ##hardware as well | 22:40 |
| sebsebseb | centropy: in fact all the channals I suggested you try, are bound to have Linux users in them, right now | 22:40 |
| th0r | iceroot: 5900 would be for a vncserver on screen :0, which is the one you see at the computer. I think you normally run vncserver on :1 or higher | 22:40 |
| centropy | oke | 22:40 |
| thiebaude | bbl, going to watch soccer | 22:40 |

| spO | why does make menuconfig show that my kernel configuration is 2.6.28-10 when i am trying to configure a 2.6.28-15 kernel? | 22:40 |
| sebsebseb | centropy: ok good luck | 22:40 |
| iceroot | th0r: ah ok, i was at the windows-vnc. dont thought at screen :1 and so on for linux-server | 22:41 |
| mac9416 | iceroot, Chazz, perhaps it's because I don't have tightvnc installed. | 22:41 |
| Pauluk1984 | please can somebody help me? my system no longer see's my wireless adapter, i've tried removing NM and installing WICD but this too refuses | 22:41 |
| iceroot | mac9416: your pc has a ip with 192.168. or a wan-ip? | 22:41 |
| th0r | Pauluk1984: reboot into an earlier kernel and see if the wifi comes back | 22:42 |
| mac9416 | iceroot, not 192.168. | 22:42 |
| Chazz | sebsebseb, iceroot http://freenode.net/policy.shtml#channelnaming for the # and ## thing | 22:42 |
| iceroot | Chazz: thx, i will have a look | 22:42 |
| Pauluk1984 | thor: i have no idea how to do this lol, i'm new to linux | 22:42 |
| sebsebseb | Chazz: indeed | 22:42 |
| Chazz | yw | 22:42 |
| th0r | Pauluk1984: when you reboot you will see a 3 second countdown. Press ESC during that 3 seconds and you will get a menu of the installed kernels. I suspect you are using the highest number (2.6.28-15) which has just recently come out. See if you have 2.6.28-13, and if so boot into that. Any number lower than -15 (or whatever you are using) is worth a try | 22:44 |
| Pauluk1984 | this makes a lot of sense, i did a system upgrade earlier and that's when the wireless stopped | 22:44 |
| spO | has any of you ever configured your own kernel? when you do a make menuconfig it shows an older version than the current stable on at the top of the configuration? IE, the same configuration is used for newer kernels? | 22:44 |
| th0r | Pauluk1984: also, unless you have used wicd before I would suggest reinstalling network manager....solve one problem at a time | 22:45 |
| Pauluk1984 | but i wouldnt know how to tell linux which kernel to load | 22:45 |
| th0r | Pauluk1984: you just use the cursor keys to highlight the one you want | 22:45 |
| Pauluk1984 | i've used wicd a few times and it seems more reliable than NM... | 22:45 |
| Pauluk1984 | ok thanks i'll try :) | 22:45 |

| === ralphte____ is now known as ralphte | ||
| sebsebseb | spO: if you install a new kernel, or in your case compile it youself, sure grub's menu.lst will have the old kernel on it still, unless you remove the enteries, or remove the kernel yourself | 22:47 |
| sebsebseb | Shinobi: the program user data will be in a hidden folder in home | 22:48 |
| Shinobi | so how owuld i get to it? | 22:48 |
| Shinobi | would* | 22:48 |
| sebsebseb | Shinobi: remind me if that game is a native Linux game, or one you have done in Wine | 22:48 |
| spO | seb, when i do a make menuconfig to configure a new kernel, it lists 2.6.28-10 at the top , but i am trying to isntall a 2.6.28-15 kernel | 22:49 |
| Shinobi | native | 22:49 |
| sebsebseb | Shinobi: look around your hidden folders in home for it. it may be in another folder. .local or something. open home and view > show hidden files and folders | 22:49 |
| sebsebseb | spO: 2.6.28-15 hmm 2.6.28-13-generic is the current kernel from the repo for 9.04 :) you can also get 2.6.30 or slightly later using a ppa | 22:50 |

| LinuX2half | how do I change my hostname? Going to Admin and networking? | 23:17 |
| Dr_Willis | RobotCow: could be the prompts/other programs are changing the title as soon as it starts. is it jus tthe title part thats not working? | 23:17 |
| Dr_Willis | !hostname | LinuX2half | 23:17 |
| ubottu | LinuX2half: Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. Alternatively, use the gui at System > Administration > Networking on the "General" tab | 23:17 |

| th0r | Dr_Willis: RobotCow I am using xfce, but have gnome installed. I notice that originally the window opens with the proper title, but then loses it and returns to the default | 23:18 |
| noquinho | what means package suiting ? | 23:18 |
| guntbert | Shinobi: thats what I expected - please type cd ~/Douments/UT2004-Patch (you can use <tab> completion to make it easier) | 23:19 |

| Shinobi | i forgot the username | 23:19 |
| Shinobi | :x | 23:19 |
| Dr_Willis | th0r: the bash prompt by default I think changes that title to the current working directory/executed program. thats why. | 23:19 |
| lstarnes | RobotCow: there is a way to prevent programs running within the terminal from changing its title | 23:20 |
| th0r | RobotCow: you will be glad to know that command works fine with xfce4-terminal | 23:20 |

| CRM | Hello. Im configuring Conky, and I wonder if there is a way to show the maximum CPU speed? Right now it only shows the full speed when the cpu is under heavy load. I guess its some kind of power saving feature, it's a laptop you see. | 23:46 |
| Dr_Willis | ubuntuNoob: when i booted teh flash drive. there was an install icon on the desktop. ive used dozens of times. | 23:46 |
| jrib | jonesy: no idea tbh. If you're still stuck in 2 minutes, tell me and I'll check it out in | 23:46 |
| Dr_Willis | ubuntuNoob: note i am using a actual 'flash drive' not a external usb hard drive. | 23:46 |
| ubuntuNoob | Dr_Willis: omg...... | 23:46 |
| ubuntuNoob | Dr_Willis: i'm sure that it's just a shorcut to add/remove apps -___- | 23:47 |
| Dr_Willis | ubuntuNoob: unetbootin does 'to hard drive' installs in some different way from what i recall from READING the unetbootin docs/homepage. | 23:47 |
| jonesy | i can never find stuff that gets installed stuopid should be a way of finding out | 23:47 |
| Kevin1a | Dr_Willis: Do you think it may be due to the fact that my virtual desktop is too large? I could be overtaxing the machines graphics capabilities because I have a second monitor hooked up to it? It's still strange though that it used to run video fine and then suddenly stopped. | 23:47 |
| Dr_Willis | ubuntuNoob: err.. no its not.. Ive installed using that 'instaler' icon on at least 9 machines with this same flash drive. | 23:47 |
| MK13 | ubuntuNoob, my suggustion was using unetbootin from windows... | 23:47 |
| jrib | jonesy: dpkg -L PACKAGE tells you everything a package installed if you want hints. My first guess would be to try Preferences menu | 23:47 |
| mbrigdan | I just found out that snort has apparently been sending alerts to root@mycomputer for quite sometime now, is there anyway that I can get it to send to a real email address? | 23:47 |

| Dr_Willis | ubuntuNoob: lets summarize.. You are using a 'flash' drive or a 'external usb hard drive'? | 23:48 |
| ubuntuNoob | Dr_Willis: i'm using a flash with ubuntu, i think that the install shorctus works perfectly.. i'm just a bit idiot | 23:48 |
| mechtech | Dr_Willis: what is the difference? Really...I don't know | 23:49 |
| danbhfive | ubuntuNoob: I think you need to decide if you are going to install from an iso, and what media you are going to burn the iso to. Since your usb is tied up, maybe from the harddrive? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromLinux | 23:49 |
| b0nn | hrm, where do I have a whinge about behaviour of konsole in Ubuntu NBR ? | 23:49 |
| b0nn | actually, all I want to say is &*^%$&^$&^$&%$&%$&$^& | 23:50 |
| MK13 | ubuntuNoob, i thought you didn't have the shortcut, my bad | 23:50 |
| b0nn | it's horrible | 23:50 |
| Dr_Willis | mechtech: flash drive = little thumbdrive :) | 23:50 |

| yfk | how can I incorporate a package into Ubuntu installed on USB (with the app that came with the distro)? | 23:51 |
| ubuntuNoob | MK13: yes i't working.. shame on me :P anyway i really love linux! | 23:51 |
| Dr_Willis | ubuntuNoob: my normal method (from a single windows mach9ne) - get unetbootin for windows, get iso file, plug in a 'flash drive' not a exteranl usb hard drieve. use unetbootin tool to make a bootable flash drive.. reboot.. use the installer on the desktop. | 23:51 |
| MK13 | ubuntuNoob, glad to hear it :D | 23:51 |
| Dr_Willis | unetbootin has some sort of 'frugal install' trick it does to 'hard drives' | 23:51 |
| teimu | hi ubuntu! what's your recommendation to back up my DVDs to disk (in mpeg)? | 23:51 |
| ubuntuNoob | Dr_Willis: yes i can make it work 2 hours ago if i notice that the install shortcut does the installation on the internal hard disc! | 23:51 |
| rincon | how do i add a shutdown and a restart button to the gnome system menu on ubuntu? | 23:52 |
| Dr_Willis | ubuntuNoob: :) | 23:52 |
| MK13 | Dr_Willis, have you tried the built int "create usb- startup disk" from inside ubuntu? | 23:52 |
| Dr_Willis | ubuntuNoob: so the problem is.. there was no problem? | 23:52 |
| Dr_Willis | MK13: i have.. it works.. but i find the scripts at pendrivelinux web site work better. | 23:52 |
| ubuntuNoob | Dr_Willis: the problem is that i started using linux tomorrow xD thx Dr. | 23:52 |
| Dr_Willis | MK13: the peristant save feature works.. 'almost properly' 80% of the time. | 23:52 |
| michael | does anyone know how to change the font color in nautilus. I'm talking about the file/folder name font colors under the icon. | 23:53 |
| Dr_Willis | ubuntuNoob: make that flash drive and keep it handy. its a good rescue tool :) | 23:53 |
| cap_eath | Ok, trying to install 9.04 on a AMD dual core w/ nVidia chipset. I get the ACPI error. Do I need a new computer. (It just came out of the box) | 23:53 |
| fg56lx | I'm having a problem with sound. When ever I listen to any music (on any media player) or watch any video (even youtube) the sound starts to skip and jump around. What would cause this, and how could I fix it? | 23:53 |
| MK13 | Dr_Willis, ahh, the pendrivelinux scripts usually mess up the booting for me... and I never use persistence that much (except for with Kubuntu) | 23:53 |
| dynavox | wmv file is still quitting while opening. :\ I installed the restricted packages. anyone have any wisdom to lay on me (besides staying away from WMV files?) | 23:53 |
| ubuntuNoob | Dr_Willies: sure! | 23:53 |

| LinuxEA | Hi, I would like to add a few apps to default at startup. Im using openbox.. Tried using /etc/init.d/ but it didn't work the way I'd like | 23:54 |
| iceroot | dynavox: use vlc | 23:54 |
| mbrigdan | cap_eath: Try acpi=off as a kernel option, that might fix it | 23:54 |
| iceroot | !startup | LinuxEA | 23:54 |
| ubottu | LinuxEA: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot | 23:54 |

| iceroot | LinuxEA: sorry, dont know openbox | 23:55 |
| Dr_Willis | MK13: i set up a persistant pendrive for each machine i got (well one with nvidia drivers, and one with other drivers) its the drivers that cause the issues with the peristant save stuff | 23:55 |
| macgyver_ | are their any gphoto users here? | 23:55 |
| ubuntuNoob | Dr_Willis: i got a half-burned Sony Vaio with a non-working nvidia geforce, with windows it's unusable.. with ubuntu it works enough, more than 640x480 and without strange random pixels :P | 23:55 |
| iceroot | rincon: right click, add to panel, then choose the buttons | 23:55 |

| jonesy | ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh | 23:56 |
| LinuxEA | jrib: Perfect ! thank you | 23:56 |
| jrib | teimu: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) | 23:56 |
| iceroot | teimu: without cpy-protection, k3b is working fine | 23:56 |
| MK13 | Dr_Willis, that is the only thing i hated about the Kubuntu persistence, had to run nvidia-xconfig, then restart kde every boot :( | 23:56 |
| iceroot | teimu: never tried copy-protected video-dvds | 23:56 |

| lakotajames | Alright, my computer seems quite a bit slower than it used to be. How do I go about figuring out what I did to it? | 23:56 |
| iceroot | lakotajames: look at top, what is using much ram/cpu | 23:57 |
| mdgrech | l | 23:57 |
| Dr_Willis | MK13: i fixed that with a rc.local command to copy over the proper xorg.conf befor it started X | 23:57 |
| MK13 | Dr_Willis, :O i never thought of that | 23:57 |
| Dr_Willis | MK13: i disabled kdm (gdm) and had them lauch via rc.local after i did the xorg.conf copy. | 23:58 |
| teimu | thanks iceroot! checking that out now. and well, okay jrib: how can i backup a dvd to mpeg format? | 23:58 |
| iceroot | lakotajames: if you dont know how to read that, post the output from "top -n 1" to pastebin and post the link here | 23:58 |
| mdgrech | anyone from detroit area here? | 23:58 |
| iceroot | !paste | lakotajames | 23:58 |
| ubottu | lakotajames: 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 | 23:58 |
| jrib | teimu: ask *the channel* exactly because I do backup dvds but not to mpeg | 23:58 |
| MK13 | Dr_Willis, but i don't use KDE w/ ubuntu anymore, i save that for bsd and gnome for ubuntu... any chance to get a pastebin of all the steps you took so I can try it? | 23:59 |
| Dr_Willis | I tend to 'rip' dvd's with dvdrip :) but thats not exactly a 'backup' | 23:59 |
| * jrib uses dvdbackup | 23:59 | |
| ubuntuNoob | Dr_Willis: what's the cleaner way to install vlc? it's not in the default apps, and i can't find it in the synaptic thing with universe repo | 23:59 |
| lakotajames | gnome-do and compiz. | 23:59 |
