| Drknezz | raulh: lol, but i dont think on MAX graphics | 00:07 |
| raulh | yes on max. | 00:07 |
| ubuntu | using xchat right now... but was curious | 00:07 |
| wweasel | cosmic_ka: It's not like older iPods. The long and the short of it is that it's very locked down and can't be used as an external HD. | 00:07 |
| sol93 | ubuntu: yes, it can. you have to "add" a chat | 00:07 |

| wweasel | cosmic_ka: Whether or not jailbreaking voids your warranty is debatable, but when you connect it, does it recognize it as a media device and show you the pictures you've taken with the camera? | 00:11 |
| raulh | It technically does void it if you take it in, but if you restore it, they will never know. | 00:11 |

| sebsebseb | linuxguy2009: yeah no GUI, also a special server kernel | 00:19 |
| cooper77z | linuxguy2009: I don't think so, the server is way faster for my machine. | 00:19 |
| linny | ultimate will likly be poorer as its more bloted | 00:19 |
| linny | but its arugeable is suppose | 00:20 |

| linny | linuxguy2009: while correct it doesnt have a DE it has extra software designed for servers if you want a base install wo a DE you should use the minimal cd | 00:21 |

| Xodiac13 | sebsebseb: no i have a desktop that i am on now with ubuntu 8.10 and works great but i am trying to get it on my laptop with xp | 00:32 |
| SkiingPenguins | where can i get help with getting my applications button back on my panel? | 00:32 |
| jlaroche | thor - its not about the permissions, its about the customizations. I don't have to have to remake all those customizations for a new user. It would seem that I should be able to change my current users name, but the field is greyed out | 00:32 |
| sebsebseb | Xodiac13: oh right well this channal is not for Windows support go to ##windows for that, oh yeah and maybe get rid of XP from the lap top :) even better | 00:32 |
| Xodiac13 | sebsebseb: i cant get my video card working on the laptop it has a radeon x1200 | 00:32 |
| linny | Xodiac13: i beg your pardon | 00:32 |
| bishop | hey | 00:32 |
| Xodiac13 | sebsebseb: no i mean what distro will support my card | 00:32 |

| linuxguy2009 | SkiingPenguins: go in your applications menu and right click any app and you can add it to a panel | 00:33 |
| DaZ | Xodiac13: every or none | 00:33 |
| SkiingPenguins | but it isnt there to go in | 00:33 |
| Xodiac13 | linny: i really dont know what your talking about | 00:33 |
| ctmjr | !panels| SkiingPenguins | 00:33 |
| ubottu | SkiingPenguins: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 00:33 |
| VCoolio | SkiingPenguins: only apps or also places and system? | 00:33 |
| SkiingPenguins | none of those | 00:33 |
| Xodiac13 | DaZ: ni e | 00:33 |
| linuxguy2009 | SkiingPenguins: So your missing the applications, places and system menus? | 00:33 |
| SkiingPenguins | yes | 00:33 |
| SkiingPenguins | but the clock is still on it | 00:33 |
| linuxguy2009 | SkiingPenguins: you need to right click the panel and add an applet and choose gnome menu bar | 00:33 |
| loopye | hello people | 00:33 |
| SkiingPenguins | also the stuff on the bottom panel is gone so i have to use alt-tab | 00:33 |
| === jon is now known as Guest40176 | ||

| VCoolio | SkiingPenguins: the applet is "workspace switcher" | 00:36 |
| sebsebseb | Xodiac13: Xchat is popular, but Konversation is better really :) | 00:36 |
| linuxguy2009 | SkiingPenguins: windows list, desktop swicther etc | 00:36 |
| josh____ | yeah i like ubuntu. was debating from going from vista back to Suse, but wanted to try this | 00:36 |
| Dr_Willis | raulh: use the package manager tools. or 'sudo apt-get update' 'sudo apt-get upgrade' | 00:36 |
| raulh | thanks dr willias | 00:36 |
| raulh | willis-** | 00:36 |
| Xodiac13 | linny: lol what do you mean its like a older / newer card i think its because its integrated | 00:36 |

| raulh | Oh, one more question is it possible extend my ubuntu partition? | 00:37 |
| sebsebseb | !debian | josh___ | 00:37 |
| ubottu | josh___: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! | 00:37 |

| linny | Xodiac13: i bought a HD2600 bout 2 years ago and it was cheap then | 00:38 |
| sebsebseb | !tweak | josh___ | 00:38 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about tweak | 00:38 |
| Xodiac13 | linny: okay nm it is old but then shouldnt ubuntu be able to work 3d with it | 00:38 |
| bishop | leaving | 00:38 |

| sebsebseb | raulh: ok and how much unallocated space do you have? | 00:38 |
| linny | Xodiac13: its not ubuntus fault its the proprietary drivers | 00:39 |

| Xodiac13 | linny: and they dont have the drivers for it | 00:39 |
| SkiingPenguins | thanks, yall are lots of help :) | 00:40 |
| Dr_Willis | jondavis: you just go to the linux mint web site and download it.. then right click -> burn. normally | 00:40 |
| Dr_Willis | jondavis: if you are using ubuntu.. i would just learn ubuntu. and leave mint alone | 00:40 |
| jondavis | i have tryd to brun a iso of linuxMint to a cd/dvd......and i am trying to run it on a ubuntu linux 9.04 | 00:40 |
| linny | Xodiac13: ati do rls linux drivers for thier cards but they arnt as well developed as their windows counterparts im not sure about the drivers for older cards either | 00:40 |
| Dr_Willis | jondavis: you are not making sence.. did it burn sucesuffy? You dio realize you INSTLALL mint as you instlled ubuntu. its not a program. | 00:41 |
| Xodiac13 | linny: o okay thank you | 00:41 |
| jondavis | i tryd to brune it to a vd | 00:41 |
| jondavis | but i need linux mint | 00:41 |
| jondavis | 7 | 00:41 |
| === desti_T2 is now known as desti | ||
| Dr_Willis | jondavis: you need to start making more sence. Ubuntu should be able to burn an iso file to disk quite easially. | 00:42 |
| Dr_Willis | !iso | 00:42 |
| ubottu | To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 00:42 |
| moymoy | jondavis: what are you talking about? you can burn iso's in ubuntu | 00:42 |
| Dr_Willis | !burn | 00:42 |
| ubottu | CD/DVD Burning software: K3b (KDE), gnomebaker, brasero, serpentine, graveman, Nautilus-CD-Burner, GToaster, xcdroast (GNOME), wodim (terminal-based). Burning .iso files: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto | 00:42 |
| linny | jondavis: if you are using ubuntu now just click the iso and it will open brasereo then insert cd and presto | 00:42 |
| Dr_Willis | actually clicking on the iso MIGHT 'mount' it.. | 00:43 |
| jondavis | i did | 00:43 |
| Dr_Willis | i right click and select burn. | 00:43 |
| jondavis | but it is not working | 00:43 |
| Dr_Willis | jondavis: then clarify whats not working EXACTLY. | 00:43 |
| bazhang | !enter | jondavis | 00:43 |
| ubottu | jondavis: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 00:43 |
| FatsoJetson{eire | hi guys was just wondering if its possible to use an old pda as a monitor for ubuntu. look onlie but its sketchy | 00:43 |
| linny | Dr_Willis: O :) i dont actully use gnome so i forget :) | 00:43 |
| Dr_Willis | is the burn not working, is the burnt disk not working... | 00:43 |
| jondavis | i have burn a iso of linuxMint 7 to a cd but it is not working | 00:44 |
| jondavis | on ubuntu linux 0.04 | 00:44 |
| bazhang | jondavis, define not working | 00:45 |
| linny | ok what exaxtly do you mean by not working ? | 00:45 |
| Dr_Willis | jondavis: clarify what you mean by not working.. You reboot the pc with the disk in the drive and it fails to boot properly? the fact you are on ubuntu seems to be irellavant. | 00:45 |
| jondavis | yes i have | 00:45 |
| OttifantSir | I'm using Webmin 1.480 on Ubuntu 8.04.3 Server and have tried to install a printer through the GUI (maybe not correctly set up) and connect to it from a laptop running 9.04. I tried going through the "error solver" in Printers, and here's the output after it failed: http://paste.ubuntu.com/244914/ | 00:45 |
| Dr_Willis | jondavis: 'yes i have' is not really an answer... | 00:45 |
| jondavis | i have reboot | 00:45 |
| bazhang | jondavis, dont use the enter key as punctuation. Put everything on ONE line. | 00:46 |
| jondavis | try to make ubuntu linux into linux mint 7 | 00:46 |
| ojii | hi all, how do i remove rsa keys from known_hosts? | 00:46 |
| linny | jondavis: is your boot sequence set to boot from cd ? | 00:46 |
| jondavis | i did | 00:46 |
| Dr_Willis | jondavis: you DONT 'convert' ubuntu to linux mint.. You boot the mint cd and install linux mint. its a different operating system. | 00:46 |
| blaz_ | owen1: i must admit i don't understand it very well;) Usualy one logs in using GDM - not sure if .bash_profile is executed by GDM! | 00:46 |
| jondavis | i know alll that | 00:46 |
| Dr_Willis | jondavis: if the mint cd is failing to boot - then it proberly gave some error messages. and you either 1) had a bad iso file. or 2) some sort of issue with the burn. | 00:46 |
| owen1 | blaz_: np. i am using text-based login. | 00:47 |
| jondavis | yes it did all that err | 00:47 |
| blaz_ | oh! me too | 00:47 |
| jondavis | how can i format ubuntu linux.9.04 to linux mint 7 | 00:48 |
| Dr_Willis | jondavis: i tend to use unetbootin to put iso files on a bootable flash drive. makes for a faster install media. I would suggest checking the md5sum of the iso. and either reburn if its correct. or use unetbootin. | 00:48 |
| jondavis | then | 00:48 |
| mohd | guys what backtrack channel named ? | 00:48 |
| Dr_Willis | jondavis: you dont 'format ubuntu' you format a filesystem. | 00:48 |
| linny | jondavis: set your bios to boot from cd insert the cd and boot from it | 00:48 |
| bazhang | jondavis, you can't. you need to install mint over it. please stop repeating the same question | 00:48 |
| jondavis | \i dont know how i am a newbie to al this | 00:48 |
| bazhang | mohd, #remote-exploit | 00:49 |
| mohd | thanks | 00:49 |
| Dr_Willis | jondavis: if you got ubuntu installed.. then i suggest you spend some time learning Ubuntu and linux basics. | 00:49 |
| Dr_Willis | jondavis: you gain very little by using 'mint' and techincally we DONT support mint in this channel. | 00:49 |
| jondavis | ]ok so tell me what is better then | 00:50 |
| Dr_Willis | jondavis: use Ubuntu.. ive said that 3+ times now. | 00:50 |
| Dr_Willis | dont use mint. | 00:50 |
| linny | :) | 00:50 |
| bazhang | jondavis, please take chat to #ubuntu-offtopic ; dont take polls here | 00:50 |
| gamerchick02 | jondavis: there should be a mint channel to get help in | 00:50 |

| bazhang | jondavis, the book I linked you is free. please read it. | 00:54 |
| sebsebseb | jondavis: so much more to Linux than just Ubuntu, so the site I just gave, is great | 00:54 |
| kinata | Thanks...upgrading from 8.10 to 9.04. Distribution Upgrade seems to be stalled at the last file, 1296 of 1296. It's been stalled there for ~two hours. | 00:55 |
| linny | linuxcommand.org is good for command line basics | 00:55 |
| Starpilot | were would I go when having troubles with disc burning, brasero after upgraded to jaunty? | 00:55 |
| jondavis | not where i can read all the books | 00:55 |
| Dr_Willis | was that a question or a statement? | 00:56 |
| jondavis | i need to know everything about linux/ubuntu | 00:56 |
| Dr_Willis | jondavis: then you have to go read and learn... | 00:57 |
| ceil420 | so how can i install the ati driver if there's no /etc/X11/xorg.conf (in Kubuntu 9.04)? | 00:57 |
| Dr_Willis | jondavis: linux is one thing.. Ubuntu is a specific Linux disrtobution. | 00:57 |
| Dr_Willis | !linux | jondavis | 00:57 |
| ubottu | jondavis: 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 | 00:57 |
| linny | ceil420: what card do you have ? | 00:57 |
| ceil420 | linny, integrated HD 3200 | 00:58 |
| jondavis | give me a site that has free all info .and also linux is linus/ubuntu | 00:58 |
| ceil420 | i got the driver, i just can't install it without an existing xorg.conf :x | 00:58 |
| bazhang | jondavis, I gave you a link | 00:58 |
| linny | i think you need to sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx | 00:58 |
| sebsebseb | jondavis: no GNU/Linux yes :) | 00:58 |
| * ceil420 tries | 00:58 | |
| bruce89 | Linus does have a rather large part in it I suppose | 00:59 |
| sebsebseb | jondavis: you have been given some rather good links, check them out | 00:59 |
| ceil420 | cool | 00:59 |
| linny | then do sudo aticonfig --initial )other options if necessary ) | 00:59 |
| sebsebseb | bruce89: oh your in here :D | 00:59 |
| ceil420 | installing kernel stuff and i386 patch too :) | 00:59 |
| ceil420 | linny, cheers o/ | 00:59 |
| bruce89 | sebsebseb: not long now | 00:59 |
| ceil420 | wish i had a default xorg.conf to fall back on, though.. | 00:59 |
| Pupuser402-1 | i am unable to boot gnome | 00:59 |
| Dr_Willis | Pupuser402-1: but puppy works.. so you do have the system set to boot from cd Properly it seems? | 01:00 |
| Dr_Willis | Pupuser402-1: you mean your Installed ubuntu system fails to go TO gnome.. or the cd fails to boot? or the installer fails? | 01:00 |
| Pupuser402-1 | Unable to enumerate usb device on port 2 ? | 01:00 |
| ceil420 | linny, ceil@pandora:/etc/X11$ sudo aticonfig --initial | 01:00 |
| ceil420 | Warning: Could not find configuration file | 01:00 |
| ceil420 | :( | 01:00 |
| ceil420 | it's askin' me to copy configuration file template to /etc/X11 | 01:01 |
| linny | ceil420: aticonfig --initial creates one and backs up the old one | 01:01 |
| Pupuser402-1 | Dr_Willis, Installed fine | 01:01 |
| mhilmi | Is there any way to force Synaptic to install a package despite it bitching about non-existant depedancies? | 01:01 |
| kinata | ubottu: Thanks...upgrading from 8.10 to 9.04. Distribution Upgrade seems to be stalled in Getting New Packages at the last file, 1296 of 1296. It's been ~two hours. | 01:01 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 01:01 |
| Dr_Willis | Pupuser402-1: try unpluging any extra usb gizmos you may have. ive seen that 'message' befor but my systems still booted. | 01:01 |
| ceil420 | linny, there is no old one, that's the problem | 01:01 |
| linny | just create a blank one then | 01:01 |
| raulh | does anyone know how to make ubuntu's partition bigger? i have about 2.5gb of unallocated space. | 01:01 |
| Dr_Willis | Pupuser402-1: I recall a bluetooth dongle giving me an issue once on one machine. | 01:01 |
| ceil420 | linny, just touch xorg.conf? | 01:01 |
| ceil420 | that do it? | 01:01 |
| raulh | i tried using the live cd, but i couldnt make it bigger. | 01:01 |
| linny | yea | 01:01 |
| mhammer | raulh: use gparted | 01:01 |
| Pupuser402-1 | Dr_Willis, I only have keyboard and moude | 01:01 |
| Dr_Willis | raulh: boot live cd. use 'gparted' but BACKUP your imporntant data first | 01:01 |
| Pupuser402-1 | mouse | 01:01 |
| mhammer | raulh! gparted! | 01:02 |
| ceil420 | linny, groovie, seems to've worked. gotta restart now, yeh? | 01:02 |
| raulh | no important data it's a new parition | 01:02 |
| Dr_Willis | raulh: you could just make a partition on the 2.5gb unallocated and use it as some storage area. | 01:02 |
| linny | yea | 01:02 |
| raulh | no willis | 01:02 |
| raulh | i need to install updates on /root | 01:02 |
| ceil420 | ☮+♥ | 01:02 |
| raulh | theres 3mb of free space on ubuntu... so i can't even run firefox because the Cache crashes firefox. | 01:02 |
| Pupuser402-1 | Dr_Willis, I also disabled usb in the bios to test | 01:02 |
| Dr_Willis | raulh: some issues with resizing can be it can alter the UUID of the partition. Jot that down beforhand. Just in case. | 01:02 |
| Dr_Willis | raulh: boot live cd then andhave fun with gparted. | 01:03 |
| raulh | IT doesn't let me make it BIGGER. | 01:03 |
| raulh | it only let's me resize to make paritions smaller. | 01:03 |
| === mohd is now known as outlife | ||
| Starpilot | were would I go when having troubles with disc burning, brasero after upgraded to jaunty? what channel? | 01:04 |
| Dr_Willis | raulh: thats proberly due to how your partitions are laid out. If you have unallocated space thats sevarl partitions away - you have to do some moveing/resizing of the in between partitions. | 01:04 |
| linny | Starpilot this one | 01:04 |
| Dr_Willis | raulh: also you can only have 4 primaries.. and if trying to get space from a 'extended' to a primary - it can also be tricky | 01:05 |
| raulh | it's and extended parition yea.. | 01:05 |
| raulh | it's just that i can't delete that extended because if i do, winows xp will SURELY be deleted from grub loader. | 01:05 |
| raulh | which i dont want :$ | 01:05 |
| mhammer | does anyone know if it's true that banshee will replace rythmbox in the next version of ubuntu? imo this would be a big mistake | 01:05 |
| Starpilot | ok but you guys look way too busey. I'll try another time. thanks | 01:05 |
| 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? | 01:06 |
| raulh | also how do i unmount paritions higher then "6" | 01:06 |
| raulh | it keeps telling me that. | 01:06 |
| george2515 | hay peeps anyone familiar with tv card install? | 01:08 |
| Dr_Willis | raulh: i normally use a live cd - that way everything is unmounted allready | 01:08 |
| raulh | it's not. | 01:08 |
| raulh | Willis: i did use the live cd, and it told me i needed to unmount it. | 01:09 |
| raulh | !unmount | 01:09 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about unmount | 01:09 |
| moose55 | is there a way to resize the partition to dual boot Vista without an Ubuntu LiveCD or bootable USB? | 01:09 |
| raulh | not on windows.. | 01:10 |
| trism | raulh: umount /dev/path_to_device_here ? | 01:10 |
| raulh | ok i was using unmount, thanks trism | 01:10 |
| moose55 | im on ubuntu 9.04 and i want to dual boot windows vista | 01:10 |
| jthomas1 | hey guys how do i set up a multi-monitor system | 01:11 |
| raulh | "please unmount any logical paritions having a higher number then 6" | 01:11 |
| Dr_Willis | moose55: vista can resize ntfs partitions.. it does a better job of it then Ubuntu does. | 01:11 |
| Dr_Willis | raulh: and what was the umount command you used? what does mount show mounted? You are really MUCH better off using this tool from a live cd. | 01:11 |
| sheit | any help getting flash 64bit to work on ubuntu... | 01:11 |
| moose55 | but the vista doesnt allow you to resize with the installations cd | 01:11 |
| raulh | I AM ON A LIVE CD | 01:12 |
| raulh | I TOLD YOU THAT OVER 4 TIMES ALREADY | 01:12 |
| FloodBot2 | raulh: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 01:12 |
| Dr_Willis | raulh: then what does mount show mounted? you must of mounted some things. | 01:12 |
| raulh | i didnt mount anything | 01:12 |
| Dr_Willis | Hmm.. perhaps the swap file is in use.. | 01:12 |
| echosystm | is there any way to get nice framebuffer consoles like arch or zenwalk? | 01:13 |
| echosystm | i like having the logo at the top | 01:13 |
| Dr_Willis | echosystm: yes.. and they are more of a hassle then they are worth. :) | 01:13 |
| echosystm | and then the buffer cleared once its ready for login | 01:13 |
| echosystm | oh? | 01:13 |
| raulh | i turned the swap off, so that couldnt be it.. | 01:13 |
| echosystm | whys that Dr_Willis | 01:13 |
| Spykemcc | !paste | 01:14 |
| ubottu | pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic | 01:14 |
| Dr_Willis | echosystm: they can slow down the console., they can cause issues with getting TO the console when they conflict with various X drivers.. and really now a days not many people even use the console. | 01:14 |
| Spykemcc | http://paste.ubuntu.com/244995/ | 01:14 |

| WIGGMPk1 | The start page for firefox shows a Google search box, but when you search it doesnt show Google results. For example, if you go to google.com and search "dell stock" the first result is from google showing the trend and closing price. But if you search it from the Google box on the ubuntu start page, the first result is from moneycenteral.msn.com (is there a way to change the functionality of the ubuntu start page? | 01:15 |
| Spykemcc | http://paste.ubuntu.com/244995/ | 01:16 |

| newser | hello, I have a NAS HDD which I used to access via Network - Windows Network. Is there any other way to access the files? I think it used something called samba | 01:17 |
| WIGGMPk1 | trism: thats definitely an option.. and it works well. but im still curious about the original question.. | 01:17 |
| Dr_Willis | why not just set your start page to be google :) | 01:17 |
| Dr_Willis | google targeting differnt searchs for different 'start pages' | 01:18 |
| trism | WIGGMPk1: I always immediately change my start page, so I wouldn't even know how to get back there | 01:18 |

| NetEcho | is there anything I can use in Ubuntu to pull pictures off a Blackberry Curve 8330 CDMA? | 01:19 |
| trism | WIGGMPk1: right, well, I checked it and it just makes a request to google's custom search engine | 01:21 |

| psywiped | does anyone know of a good windows file shredder | 01:22 |
| Dr_Willis | Pupuser402-1: is this a laptop or desktop? its possible you may need some boot options.. and its also possible its crashing just after that 'usb' message..and that message is not imporntant. | 01:23 |
| WIGGMPk1 | trism: make your own? | 01:23 |

| Quiznos | X -configure is how i do it | 01:24 |
| Quiznos | then find the ~/xorg.conf.new | 01:24 |
| Quiznos | and rename that into etc/X11 | 01:25 |
| Quiznos | do as root | 01:25 |
| * WIGGMPk1 sighs | 01:25 | |
| trism | WIGGMPk1: personally I would just make my homepage google, less hassle | 01:25 |
| dthacker | Quiznos: Fatal error Server is already active | 01:25 |
| Quiznos | yea, gotta stop it to conf it | 01:26 |
| dthacker | Quiznos : reboot? | 01:26 |
| Quiznos | no | 01:26 |
| Quiznos | what's your current runlevel? | 01:26 |
| WIGGMPk1 | trism: thanks for the info.. Ill investigate this option.. I understand the google homepage or google toolbar, but I have some serious OCD lol. I appreciate your time | 01:26 |
| dthacker | Quiznos: how can I find my current runlevel? | 01:27 |
| Quiznos | /sbin/runlevel | 01:27 |
| echosystm | um wtf | 01:27 |
| dthacker | Quiznos: N 2 | 01:27 |
| echosystm | i downloaded ubuntu alternate hoping to install a commandline system | 01:27 |
| Quiznos | orly? | 01:27 |
| echosystm | but the option isnt there | 01:27 |
| Quiznos | ok; switch to tty1 | 01:27 |
| echosystm | what cd do we use now for commandline installs? | 01:28 |
| Quiznos | dthacker are you using a console irc client? | 01:28 |
| newser | how or where can I configure samba? I'm new on networking | 01:28 |
| trism | echosystm: the server cd? | 01:28 |
| Flannel | echosystm: the alternate CD | 01:28 |
| dthacker | Quiznos: that's in the terminal program under gnome. I don't thing I can switch to tty1 | 01:28 |
| Quiznos | heh tagline | 01:28 |
| echosystm | i have the alternate cd Flannel | 01:28 |
| Flannel | echosystm: You choose it from the f5 menu (or f6?) | 01:28 |
| Flannel | echosystm: Then you can install a command-line system | 01:28 |
| echosystm | ubuntu-9.04-alternate-i386.iso | 01:29 |
| Quiznos | dthacker see if you have irssi or BitchX | 01:29 |
| echosystm | ok | 01:29 |
| dthacker | Quiznos: I'm using xchat | 01:29 |
| psywiped | does anyone know of a good data file shredder | 01:29 |
| Flannel | echosystm: They removed it from the main menu because "install from the command line" and "install a command line system" are too close of verbage | 01:29 |
| Flannel | psywiped: shred | 01:29 |
| Quiznos | dthacker yea but x11 has to be stopped so you wont be able to use xchat | 01:29 |
| Flannel | psywiped: (you already have it) | 01:29 |
| echosystm | ok | 01:29 |
| dthacker | Quiznos: it's ok, irc is on another machine | 01:29 |
| echosystm | thanks | 01:29 |

| OttifantSir | I'm using Webmin 1.480 on Ubuntu 8.04.3 Server and have tried to install a printer through the GUI (maybe not correctly set up) and connect to it from a laptop running 9.04. I tried going through the "error solver" in Printers, and here's the output after it failed: http://paste.ubuntu.com/244914/ | 01:30 |
| Quiznos | dthacker ok; switch to tty1, killall xorg (or use ctrl-alt-bkspc) | 01:30 |
| BlasenMich | after doing an update my display is stuck in 800 X 400 how can I get the dimensions changed? | 01:30 |
| psywiped | is there a version of shred for windows? | 01:30 |
| Flannel | psywiped: erm... So, you want a windows secure delete thing then? | 01:31 |
| reya2761 | How can I give permissions to a directory so no one can see but can still access the web pages within the specified directory? | 01:31 |
| Quiznos | psywiped you could compress and encrypt then delete | 01:31 |
| === rajesh is now known as Guest35095 | ||
| dthacker | Quiznos: no process killed. | 01:31 |
| Quiznos | dthacker ctrl-alt-bkspc within X11 | 01:32 |
| BlasenMich | anyone know how to correct display probems? | 01:32 |
| josh____ | can someone tell me where i go to set up samba? im trying to get connected to my windows pc so i can print things | 01:32 |
| Flannel | psywiped: Why not just ask that in the first place and save everyone time? (also, you should ask that question in #ubuntu-offtopic) | 01:32 |
| reya2761 | I tried doing chmod 770 /var/www/<directory> but can't see the pages through the browser | 01:32 |
| dthacker | Quiznos: no effect | 01:32 |
| Dr_Willis | OttifantSir: why not use the cups web interface? webmin can be a bit.. flakey... | 01:32 |
| Flannel | psywiped: https://ssd.eff.org/tech/deletion recommends "Eraser" | 01:32 |
| bobwhoops | What are possible reasons why an init script wouldn't work at startup but would if you ran it manually? Anything besides dependancies? I know it's being called at startup but it's not working | 01:32 |
| Flannel | reya2761: Are they owned by www-data? | 01:32 |
| Quiznos | dthacker kill the damn thing :) | 01:32 |
| Guest35095 | josh: try apt-get install samba | 01:32 |
| dthacker | Quiznos: reboot? | 01:33 |
| reya2761 | Flannel: I don't think so | 01:33 |
| Quiznos | dthacker is a [xkg]dm running? | 01:33 |
| Guest35095 | josh:search your win pc in network places | 01:33 |
| OttifantSir | Dr_Willis: I can't access it. If it's on server-ip:631 it won't connect | 01:33 |
| reya2761 | Flannel: should they be? | 01:33 |
| Flannel | reya2761: Then that's why. 770 means that group, and owner have read, write, execute permissions, and everyone else can't do anything. | 01:33 |
| Guest35095 | and access the folders | 01:33 |
| Flannel | reya2761: Well, you don't want the execute bit set on regular files to begin with. | 01:33 |
| BlasenMich | what is command to correct display problem - is stuck at 800 X 400 | 01:33 |
| josh____ | i know samba is installed, but is there like a samba icon i can open up to edit configurations? or can i onoy do it with a gedit thing? | 01:34 |
| reya2761 | Flannel: ah ok but then others like regular user will be able to see it through their web browsers right | 01:34 |
| dthacker | no | 01:34 |
| reya2761 | right | 01:34 |
| Flannel | reya2761: And through the filesystem itself, yes. | 01:34 |
| dthacker | Quiznos: ps -ef | grep xdg returns nothing | 01:34 |
| Quiznos | dthacker ok; which server is running? | 01:34 |
| Quiznos | dthacker that was a regex for you | 01:34 |
| echosystm | does ubuntu mount with noatime by default? | 01:34 |
| Flannel | reya2761: If you want to prohibit them from reading through the filesystem, and keep it so they can only read it through the browser, you wwant to make them owned (or at least group) of www-data | 01:34 |
| Quiznos | dthacker ps fax | grep -i 'x11|xorg' | 01:35 |
| reya2761 | Flannel: ok so it should be sudo chgrp -R www-data /var/www/<directory> right? | 01:35 |
| Flannel | reya2761: Sure | 01:35 |
| trism | echosystm: judging by my fstab, no | 01:35 |
| Flannel | reya2761: and I'll repeat for emphasis: you don't want regular files to be +x, only the directories (for setting this recursively, see +X (not +x) in chmod) | 01:36 |
| dthacker | Quiznos: /usr/X11R6/bin | 01:36 |
| echosystm | ok | 01:36 |
| psywiped | Flannel i did ask that first but no one answered | 01:36 |
| BlasenMich | my monitor won't display anything higher than 800 X 600, how do I correct this? | 01:36 |
| Quiznos | dthacker that's the dir, not the server name | 01:36 |
| Quiznos | dthacker join #Flude and dump the output from ps fax there | 01:36 |
| trism | BlasenMich: only 800x600 listed in System/Preferences/Display ? | 01:37 |
| BlasenMich | yes | 01:37 |
| dthacker | Quiznos: I don't have chat configured on the machine I'm working on. Let me get a tty going | 01:37 |
| Flannel | psywiped: Well, you should be asking about non-ubuntu things in #ubuntu-offtopic, this channel is just for Ubuntu support. | 01:37 |
| reya2761 | Flannel: don't get it, so you mean X= execute? | 01:37 |
| Dr_Willis | OttifantSir: you may to edit the cups config to allow remote admin. or just ssh -X into the remote vox and run a browser locally. of course you could ssh in and run the gnome cups manager tool | 01:37 |
| BlasenMich | it will go lower, but not what I want | 01:37 |
| trism | BlasenMich: do you have the right drivers for your card installed? | 01:37 |
| BlasenMich | just used the default | 01:38 |
| reya2761 | Flannel: Does 770 have execute permissions? | 01:38 |
| Flannel | reya2761: If you want to add group execute to things like folders recursively, you only want them set on things that already have them set for the owner (not regular files, just the directories) you can use g+X in chmod to do so (which is different than g+x) | 01:38 |
| Flannel | reya2761: Yes. | 01:38 |

| OttifantSir | Dr_Willis: Can I use the Gnome CUPS manager on a headless server? | 01:38 |
| Dr_Willis | OttifantSir: well if you have the proper stuff installed and you 'ssh -X remote box' the programs appear locally.. so yes. :) | 01:39 |
| Spykemcc | http://paste.ubuntu.com/244995/ | 01:39 |
| OttifantSir | Dr_Willis: So...... ssh -X and then just open Printers in the menu, or..... append more to that command line? | 01:40 |
| Dr_Willis | OttifantSir: you ssh in , then you run whatever commands you want.. nothign to do with your 'menus' at that point | 01:41 |
| cellofellow | OttifantSir: no, ssh -X then run `system-config-printer` | 01:41 |
| Dr_Willis | OttifantSir: thats IF you have the tools installed.. which is proberly not on a default server setup | 01:41 |

| Dr_Willis | jlaroche: just delete the file... its just a 1 line file that has the last login/desktop setting.. | 01:42 |

| dio_ | what is the best program to rip dvd on ubuntu | 01:43 |
| Dr_Willis | dio_: i use dvdrip | 01:43 |
| dio_ | does it work in the states | 01:44 |
| Dr_Willis | dio_: why wouldent it? | 01:44 |
| jlaroche | Dr_Willis - it won't let me log in, that error message is followed by a "Your session only lasted less than 10 seconds. Iff you have not logged out yourself, this could mean that there is some installation problem or that you may be out of diskspace. Try loggin in with one of the failsafe sessions to see if you can fix this problem." | 01:44 |
| jlaroche | Dr_Willis - it then goes back to the login screen | 01:44 |
| Dr_Willis | jlaroche: if that file is the problem. login at the alt-ctrl-f1 consoles and delete it. | 01:44 |
| dio_ | just anyting in the states is made diferent for DVD you cant watch them if you dont have restricted software install | 01:45 |
| Dr_Willis | jlaroche: then alt-ctrl-f7 to get back to the login screen.. its possible you got some other permissions issues going on. | 01:45 |
| Dr_Willis | dio_: 'in the states' ? hmm.. never noticed.. I think that applies to other countries as well.. ubuntu keeps the restricted stuff... restricted.. | 01:45 |
| Dr_Willis | dio_: install the decss stuff if you want i guess | 01:46 |
| jlaroche | Dr_Willis - how do i change permissions to a folder in shell so that I have full permission over it | 01:46 |
| dio_ | but dvd from europe work perfect | 01:46 |
| Dr_Willis | dio_: ive never seen/heard of different ubuntu releases from different countries.. | 01:46 |
| B1OS | how do i fully uninstall and remove everything to do with beryl? | 01:47 |
| Dr_Willis | and the dvd factoids dont mention that from what ive seen... | 01:47 |
| artillerytx | how do you change a users root directory | 01:47 |
| Dr_Willis | dvdrip is just a fancy script thats a front end to other tools. i recall... | 01:47 |
| dio_ | no region1 dvd in the states encrypted | 01:47 |
| Dr_Willis | B1OS: beryl? or compiz? | 01:47 |
| B1OS | Dr_Willis: beryll | 01:48 |
| B1OS | *beryl | 01:48 |
| Dr_Willis | dio_: never noticed.. i pop in dvd's and rip them to avi.. then put them back in their cases and safely away.. do what you want I guess... | 01:48 |
| Dr_Willis | B1OS: how did you install beryl stuff anyway? | 01:48 |
| dio_ | let my try dvdrip | 01:48 |
| OttifantSir | Dr_Willis: It would seem something isn't right with apt-get on the server, perhaps it's Webmin interfering. I don't know. I can do apt-get update, but not install or upgrade. | 01:48 |
| B1OS | Dr_Willis: apt-get if i remember correctly | 01:49 |

| EvilPenguin| | and it wont let me | 01:49 |

| simonzill | EvilPenguin|: did u sudo? | 01:50 |
| BlasenMich | where can I find a driver for a SAMSUNG 900 DF monitor? | 01:50 |
| Dr_Willis | B1OS: theres no beryl stuff in the repos that i knwo of.. its been merged into compiz. so what did you install exactly? perhaps theres some confiusion going on. | 01:50 |

| dio_ | what is rar not found? | 01:51 |
| Dr_Willis | its a little annoying the nvidisa-settings tool dosent ask for root access.. but it Can be used as a user.. .. so its just somthing to watch out for | 01:51 |
| EvilPenguin| | simonzill: that will make it so the X server will stay as i please? | 01:51 |
| dio_ | in ddvdrip | 01:51 |

| Dr_Willis | lapniack: vnc is a way to get a desktop. or use the shell/putty/ssh, or xming and get an remote X desktop.... or perhaps try ebox. | 01:52 |
| OttifantSir | Dr_Willis: Any suggestions on a GUI to manage a server, except ebox and webmin? ebox is even worse than Webmin is, and I'm not well versed in all command line performance, so.... without something graphical to start on, I'm basically going to have install a full desktop, and that's not what I want to do. | 01:52 |
| DiViN3 | my resolv.conf file got corruptted so how do i fix it as my server is not resolving any hostname | 01:52 |
| lapniack | cool htanks Dr | 01:52 |
| Dr_Willis | OttifantSir: learn the command line.. just do it.. :) or install a desktopp and use vnc/xming/ i guess | 01:52 |
| EvilPenguin| | simonzill: check your PM please | 01:53 |
| Dr_Willis | !ebox | 01:53 |

| Dr_Willis | jlaroche: how did you change your username? and why. | 02:13 |
| tom2 | Dr Kirre: I know what you mean.... | 02:13 |
| sebsebseb | hotguy300: Ubuntu can do a lot, but it's not fair on other users, to babble on about what it can and cannot do in here | 02:13 |
| DiViN3 | nickrud: is it ok if i get to u in pvt plz | 02:13 |
| LogicalDash | I am trying to backup my home directory to a tar file on a DVD-RAM. The computer keeps trying to write faster than is possible to this medium and I kept having to manually re-continue the process. Still, it seemed to be working OK, but now the file has an Unexpected EOF in it for some reason. Can I fix this? It'd be okay to just chop off the offending data... | 02:13 |
| Dr_Willis | jlaroche: sudo mkdir /home/newusername and 'sudo chown username.username /home/username 'it to be owned by the new user for starters i guess.. | 02:14 |
| jlaroche | sigh.... Dr_Willis - i changed my username using the methods outlined here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4968235 | 02:14 |

| nickrud | DiViN3, better to stay in main line, mostly because I am rusty as all get out. Haven't been doing much but running linux the last few months, not troubleshooting anything and extra eyes are always wise | 02:14 |
| tom2 | I am just hoping someone can help me. | 02:14 |
| Dr_Willis | jlaroche: i hope you properly changed the commands to be the new/old users names.. and not 's_old_newg' like the examples show | 02:15 |
| DiViN3 | nickrud: ok but kindly tell me in step by step for wat i should do | 02:15 |
| Flannel | jlaroche, Dr_Willis: if you're already using the old home, all you have to do is modify names, not permissions, log in to the recovery console, usermod it to change the home, and mv the folder. | 02:15 |
| thug4life | what are the channels name for help with ubuntu on the ps3 im sitting here with a 500 buck brick as it wont get on the internet and it got really big black borders and cant even get back into the ps3 os so its a brick | 02:15 |
| nickrud | DiViN3, first: when you reboot everything is fine, yes? | 02:15 |
| DiViN3 | nickrud: yes i can login via ssh & webmin | 02:16 |
| Dr_Willis | Flannel: if he has an existing home.. im not sure what all commands hes done. but the url he gave just alters /etc/passwd and /etc/groups | 02:16 |
| jlaroche | Flannel - i can get in my system again | 02:16 |
| nickrud | DiViN3, that's not the question I'm asking. Your server can resolve addresses after a reboot? | 02:16 |
| Dr_Willis | Oh wait there it uses usermod :) | 02:16 |
| DiViN3 | nickrud: no | 02:17 |
| jlaroche | i just want to have the new username correspond to the home folder | 02:17 |
| nickrud | ok, we're getting somwhere :) | 02:17 |

| Crash1hd | Im having trouble running the following code http://paste.ubuntu.com/245076/ | 02:17 |
| nickrud | how does your server get it's network address? dhcp? static? | 02:17 |
| burntresistor | im trying to edit and save a ect/.conf file and its saying i dont have the permissions , what do i need to do | 02:17 |
| Crash1hd | Im getting No such file or directory | 02:17 |
| Crash1hd | ??? anyone any idea? | 02:17 |
| B1OS | Dr_Willis: when i run "wget -q -O - http://linux.dell.com/repo/firmware/bootstrap.cgi | bash" it keeps trying to connect to the beryl project and slowing things down and i need to get rid of it | 02:18 |
| Dr_Willis | jlaroche: if it exists thats step 1 done.. Now to double check /etc/passwd and /etc/group and /etc/shadow is the next thing. | 02:18 |
| jlaroche | in /home/ my old username is there and my username is not that name anymore | 02:18 |
| thug4life | anyone know if any irc channels offer help for the ps3 version of ubuntu? | 02:18 |
| DiViN3 | nickrud: its a dedi server with 64 ips so i have no idea if its a static or dhcp | 02:18 |
| Dr_Willis | B1OS: no idea on that. Beryl hasent been in ubuntu for a long time. as far as i know beryl is dead. | 02:18 |
| jlaroche | in /etc/passwd my home dir is linked to my old username's home dir | 02:18 |
| nickrud | so it's a remote server you're renting from someone | 02:18 |
| DiViN3 | nickrud: is ther any way to find out | 02:18 |
| Dr_Willis | jlaroche: so there is no /home/CURRENTUSERNAME ? | 02:19 |
| DiViN3 | nickrud: yes | 02:19 |
| jlaroche | right | 02:19 |
| B1OS | so i could try: sudo aptitude remove beryl beryl-core beryl-manager beryl-plugins beryl-plugin-data beryl-settings beryl-setting-bindings libberyldecoration0 libberylsettings0 libemeraldengine0 | 02:19 |
| Dr_Willis | jlaroche: but you have sort of 'half way' switched to the new username? you are logged in as the new username? | 02:19 |
| echosystm | where are daemons set in ubuntu? | 02:19 |
| jlaroche | in etc/group everything is the new username | 02:19 |
| nickrud | DiViN3, put a copy of /etc/network/interfaces on a pastebin. That's the file that describes how your networking is set up | 02:19 |
| sjlkg | hi, running a netbook with jaunty nbr and external monitor, i can't get it to mirror the screen at a resolution other than 800x600. any ideas? | 02:20 |
| Dr_Willis | jlaroche: so make a /home/newusername dir and make it owned by that user perhaps? if im understanding you right. | 02:20 |
| BlasenMich | any monitor gurus in the house? | 02:20 |
| jlaroche | in shadow the name is my new username | 02:20 |
| Dr_Willis | jlaroche: so all the /etc/ Files check out.. just no /home/NewUserName directory? | 02:20 |
| mohd | sika hi | 02:20 |
| jlaroche | and then go into users and groups and switch the home dir to that new dir? | 02:20 |
| jlaroche | right | 02:21 |
| Sika | enta fin ya ragil , git ml bld emta | 02:21 |
| Dysaniak | (Howdy guys) | 02:21 |
| Flannel | jlaroche,Dr_Willis: mv it from the recovery console. And then use usermod to switch where the OS is looking for the homedir, then init 2 and login. | 02:21 |
| Dr_Willis | jlaroche: I would just make the new users home dir by hand (with sudo mkdir, and sudo chown whatever) and then copy all the old files from the old users dir over.. and fix their permissions.. or do like Flannel says. | 02:21 |
| jlaroche | unreal | 02:21 |
| jlaroche | all this work to change a username | 02:22 |
| Dr_Willis | jlaroche: i always just add a new user. :) then move stuff over... | 02:22 |
| Dysaniak | I need some directions to the Sessions Preferences Tool. | 02:22 |
| jlaroche | this is crazy! | 02:22 |
| DiViN3 | nickrud: i have sent the pastebin to ur pvt | 02:22 |
| Dr_Willis | jlaroche: Im betting you did one of those commands wrong in the url you gave. | 02:22 |
| Flannel | jlaroche: It's not a whole lot of work. Four commands or something. | 02:22 |
| Dr_Willis | jlaroche: the usermod -d /home/new -m old command SHOULD of made the new home dir.. | 02:22 |
| Dr_Willis | Flannel: exactly 4 commands from the url he gave... | 02:22 |
| echosystm | anyone? where do i specify what daemons to load on startup? | 02:22 |
| echosystm | google is giving me sweet fa | 02:23 |
| Flannel | !bum | echosystm | 02:23 |
| ubottu | echosystm: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto | 02:23 |
| Dr_Willis | I never can rember update-rc.d command.. its so.. oddly named. :) | 02:23 |
| nickrud | ok, DiViN3 that looks good. run aptitude search resolvconf to see if the package is installed. You should only get one line back, paste just the one line here. | 02:23 |
| buckwild | how do i dual boot with windows on a separate hard drive? | 02:23 |
| Dr_Willis | buckwild: have the proper entry for the windows disk in menu.lst | 02:24 |
| DiViN3 | nickrud: nothing popup | 02:24 |
| Dr_Willis | buckwild: thats how i do it all the time.. OR i just tell the bios to boot the windows drive.. and bypass grub totally | 02:24 |
| nickrud | DiViN3, you sure you spelled resolvconf correctly? no e? | 02:24 |
| DiViN3 | nickrud: i copy n pasted wat you gave | 02:24 |
| buckwild | dr_willis: How do i do the entry in menu.lst? | 02:25 |
| Joelito | Dr_Willis: Anyway to change the voice of festival guy :\ | 02:25 |
| Dr_Willis | buckwild: i edit my /boot/grub/menu.lst by hand. it has an example in the start of the file for a windows install on the first hard drive. | 02:25 |
| Dr_Willis | buckwild: backup your original. | 02:25 |
| nickrud | that's not good. resolvconf is the package that sets up your nameserver correctly. it should be installed, and if not it should be available if your sources are set up correctly. | 02:25 |
| Dr_Willis | Joelito: this is linux.. the thing proberly has 1000 settings.. Ive no idea what/where. :) id have to read teh docs. | 02:25 |
| buckwild | I'll try that thx dr. willis | 02:25 |
| Joelito | Dr_Willis: ok, will do | 02:26 |
| nickrud | DiViN3, run sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude search resolvconf (on the server) | 02:26 |

| echosystm | thats crazy :/ | 02:28 |
| nickrud | echosystm, depends on the daemon | 02:28 |
| echosystm | hal and fam | 02:29 |
| Dr_Willis | echosystm: you could learn the init system.. and those should be set up by default when you install them. | 02:29 |
| nickrud | echosystm, those are daemons, yes. | 02:29 |
| echosystm | oh | 02:29 |
| nickrud | and init is the system that loads daemons | 02:29 |
| echosystm | ok | 02:29 |
| Dr_Willis | hal starts when X starts up I thoght.. or am i confused... | 02:29 |
| echosystm | x wont automatically invoke hal afaik | 02:29 |

| Dr_Willis | but thats not going to make them 'better' | 02:58 |
| Lunis | EvilPenguin|: might want to explain what you mean by "better" and why you're trying to achieve it | 02:59 |

| Lunis | (08:57:58 PM) EvilPenguin|: to make them better? | 03:00 |
| Dr_Willis | :) | 03:00 |
| Roey | Dr_Willis: alright, so I have a Logitech QuickCam 9000 on Intrepid/amd_64. Mic isn't working (at least not in Skype). What can I do to diagnose the problem? | 03:00 |
| EvilPenguin| | when i have VLC loaded with a playlist, when i change the avi file, it moves the screen | 03:00 |
| EvilPenguin| | ? | 03:00 |
| Dr_Willis | Roey: never used a usb mic. no idea. be thankefull the webcam works. :) | 03:01 |
| Dr_Willis | bye all... | 03:01 |
| EvilPenguin| | Lunis: did you see | 03:01 |
| EvilPenguin| | Lunis: when i have VLC loaded with a playlist, when i change the avi file, it moves the screen | 03:01 |
| Lunis | isn't the built-in mic a miniature sound card in the web cam? similar to usb headsets? | 03:01 |
| Roey | heh | 03:02 |
| Roey | Lunis: don't know | 03:02 |
| Didrik | Anybody who have had the same problem and fixed? I start VideoCut and load a file. I get this error "Floating point exception" and it crashes... | 03:02 |

| ocd | or how do i install new fonts for it | 03:09 |
| styol | hmmm... im trying to reinstall ubuntu via flash drive with the appropriate reinstallation iso from dell (for a dell mini 9 netbook) and when it goes to erase and create the partition, it spams the screen with "Failed to partition the selected disk: This probably happened because the selected disk or free space is too small to be automatically partitioned." and im not sure what to try next, should i try and format the drive first via recove | 03:09 |

| boss_mc | make: remember to be superuser, (sudo vi /etc/passwd) | 03:11 |
| Lunis | make: you shouldn't really need to hand-edit /etc/passwd, as it can hose your users and in turn your system if anything fails catastrophically | 03:11 |
| boss_mc | make: but you shouldn't need to edit it | 03:11 |

| boss_mc | Lunis: are there a lot? | 03:14 |
| danl | boss_mc: but i need libstdc++6 4.4 or higher | 03:14 |
| Flannel | Lunis: I don't know of an automatic way to do it, but you can use your apt_preferences to force them to downgrade easily enough. | 03:14 |
| Flannel | danl: That's not going to be a happy backport. | 03:15 |
| DiViN3 | Flannel: i have problems geting hostnames resolving in my server...any idea of solving it | 03:15 |
| Lunis | danl: i used it to install bleeding-edge Empathy, and it worked ok. 'course now i have a few packages i want back to an older version | 03:15 |
| mikegriffin | hello, playing with dual display for a laptop in gnome, how can i make the panels stick to a specific screen, as it has chosen the external monitor | 03:15 |
| boss_mc | Lunis: you can do it in synaptic too (package->force version) | 03:15 |
| Lunis | well i'm hoping for something that can at least sort out what _is_ still higher version that latest in repos | 03:16 |
| danl | libstdc++6 4.4 package says it needs gcc 4.4 which means a lot is going to have to change | 03:16 |

| tame | th0r, is there info about how to do this? | 03:19 |
| Flannel | nickrud, DiViN3: does it work on a liveCD? (Or some other machine? can we verify it's a problem on his computer, and not elsewhere?) | 03:19 |

| th0r | Senesence: ok | 03:27 |

| th0r | dahlia: swat | 03:29 |
| echosystm | yeah, arch has a group specifically for power though | 03:29 |
| echosystm | "power" | 03:29 |
| echosystm | i dont like having these permissions overlapping with other things | 03:29 |
| dahlia | th0r, I thought swat was for samba? | 03:29 |
| th0r | dahlia: don't you need samba for nfs shares? | 03:29 |

| styol | raulh have you google searched "ubuntu 8600GTS" ? | 03:44 |
| raulh | yes | 03:44 |
| styol | and nothing there works? | 03:45 |
| raulh | there's nothing on the 8600 series. | 03:45 |
| KE7TMA | hey | 03:45 |
| KE7TMA | does anybody know how to add another network interface | 03:45 |
| thug4life | Flannel it still didnt find that package | 03:45 |
| raulh | i am also on hardy.. | 03:46 |
| Flannel | thug4life: odd. Well, the package is on the CD, so if nothing else, you can just go grab it. Do you have the CD listed in /etc/apt/sources.list? (and not commented?) | 03:47 |
| Lunis | wolf23: sorry i'm not having any luck. good luck on your quest | 03:47 |
| styol | raulh http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080618120409AALpvxD | 03:47 |
| th0r | KE7TMA: have you tried just using ifconfig to define it temporarily? | 03:48 |
| thug4life | Flannel: it said the ect folder couldnt be found it may been recently deleted how its on a cd r | 03:48 |
| KE7TMA | no | 03:48 |
| KE7TMA | perhaps i should | 03:48 |
| Flannel | thug4life: Erm. If the /etc folder is deleted, something is wrong with your install. | 03:48 |
| raulh | styol, im going to try sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx, before i try anything else, but first i'm gunna let the update finish up. | 03:48 |
| Flannel | thug4life: I suggest reinstalling. | 03:48 |
| wolf23 | Lunis, oh you dont know about the site i gave you now? | 03:48 |
| skypilot | hey, how do i mount a SMB share so i can access it with exaile? | 03:49 |
| th0r | KE7TMA: it would give you a chance to experiment and work out the details before trying to define it in /etc/networks | 03:49 |
| styol | raulh alrightie | 03:49 |
| KE7TMA | right | 03:49 |
| Clouse | :( I can't get the Darklooks theme to "stick" in 8.10, anyone? | 03:49 |
| bucky | KE7TMA: did you sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart ? | 03:49 |
| KE7TMA | no | 03:49 |
| th0r | skypilot: fusesmb? | 03:49 |
| thug4life | Flannel: i just got done installing it bout 2 hours ago | 03:49 |
| KE7TMA | i rebooted | 03:49 |
| skypilot | th0r, thanks, checking it out now | 03:49 |
| Lunis | wolf23: basic idea is that you need to do it from windows, that's the best that i can gather...and i'm also busy now, sorry | 03:49 |
| bucky | KE7TMA: start with auto eth0:0 for the first alias | 03:49 |
| KE7TMA | ahhhhhhhh | 03:50 |
| Flannel | thug4life: How'd you delete /etc in that time then? | 03:50 |
| KE7TMA | ok | 03:50 |
| KE7TMA | now | 03:50 |
| wolf23 | lunis yes i have windows xp open now, just tell me what does mean this --> Extract your license keys. You can do this with drmdbg | 03:50 |
| bucky | !enter KE7TMA | 03:50 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about enter KE7TMA | 03:50 |
| thug4life | Flannel: i didnt delete it it saying its not on the cd-r | 03:50 |
| bucky | !enter | KE7TMA | 03:50 |
| ubottu | KE7TMA: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 03:50 |
| Flannel | thug4life: right, /etc/apt/sources.list is on your harddrive, on your install. | 03:50 |
| KE7TMA | i must say "auto eth0:0" even if is going to be manually configured? | 03:50 |
| Lunis | wolf23: i have no clue | 03:50 |
| bucky | KE7TMA: and don't forget auto eth0:0 if you want it on the reboot | 03:51 |
| KE7TMA | yeah | 03:51 |
| bucky | KE7TMA: this is all very faq and doc on googl | 03:51 |
| thug4life | Flannel: on the cd-r there is a ect folder but when i click on it it says it was deleted but u cant delete stuff off a cd-r its impossible | 03:51 |
| KE7TMA | yeah | 03:51 |
| KE7TMA | i read the faq and doc on googl | 03:51 |
| KE7TMA | didn't work | 03:52 |
| Flannel | thug4life: You don't care about the etc folder on the CDr, we just want the one on your harddrive. | 03:52 |
| bucky | mine works | 03:52 |

| thug4life | so how dod i get to the place where my drives are shown like how windows got my computer | 03:53 |
| raulh | styol: i think sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx worked. | 03:53 |
| sebsebseb | Lunis: yeah what's he doing braking DRM? | 03:53 |
| Lostinspac_46 | I would like to know how to open .pyc and .so files. | 03:53 |
| Flannel | thug4life: less /etc/apt/sources.list | 03:53 |
| Lunis | sebsebseb: does it really matter? | 03:54 |
| KE7TMA | well | 03:54 |
| KE7TMA | i pasted my network setup into the paste.ubuntu site | 03:54 |
| sebsebseb | Lunis: i'll take that as a yes then | 03:54 |
| thug4life | Flannel: do i type that in the ternmail window? | 03:54 |
| g_ | how do I compile c++ programs? | 03:54 |
| Flannel | thug4life: yeah | 03:54 |
| g_ | for windows | 03:54 |
| Flannel | g_: Try ##C++ | 03:54 |
| KE7TMA | the config looks good, but an "ifconfig" does not show the interface as being up | 03:54 |
| spO | do modules in ubuntu usually auto load? | 03:55 |
| Lostinspac_46 | thug4life: Places>fileSyatem | 03:55 |
| Lostinspac_46 | file system | 03:55 |
| Lunis | sebsebseb: your question was confusing, sorry. yes, he's trying to remove DRM to watch videos (i believe) from Ubuntu | 03:55 |
| thug4life | Flannel: oh ok i was looking for something like my computer that lists the drives or ubuntus version of my computer i didnt know it didnt have one | 03:55 |
| g_ | <Flannel> link? | 03:55 |
| Flannel | g_: /join ##C++ | 03:55 |
| libtech | is it normal to get longer battery life in windows xp than ubuntu? | 03:56 |
| thug4life | Flannel | 03:56 |
| thug4life | sorry | 03:57 |
| Lunis | libtech: battery life doesn't really have anything to do with XP vs. Ubuntu, it's a matter of what you have running on either OS | 03:57 |
| sebsebseb | Lunis: braking DRM hmm | 03:57 |
| Lunis | sebsebseb: pretty sure you mean "breaking" :) | 03:57 |
| thug4life | Flannel: it says after i typed less /ect/apt/sources.list it says no such directy found | 03:57 |
| Flannel | thug4life: it's /etc not /ect | 03:57 |
| sebsebseb | Lunis: sure, and I am pretty sure that DRM isn't really meant to get broken | 03:57 |
| libtech | i basically run the same apps in both OS | 03:58 |
| thug4life | ok i see that now my bad sorry | 03:58 |
| Lunis | sebsebseb: i beg to differ, but that's the part that doesn't really matter | 03:58 |
| Senesence | jdu: Ok, I ran smartctl on my disk, and there was a fair number of erros listed. Now, the Ubuntu installation that's already installed on that disk still works, so I assume that the disk is "half-broken".....is that possible? | 03:58 |
| sebsebseb | Lunis: in fact breaking DRM is sort of like piracy | 03:58 |
| Lunis | libtech: i would check your power settings. i think XP is a little more stingy by default | 03:58 |
| sebsebseb | !piracy | Lunis wolf23 | 03:58 |
| ubottu | Lunis wolf23: piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels. Please take this discussion elsewhere or abstain from it altogether. This includes linking to pirated software, music, and video. Also see !guidelines and !o4o | 03:58 |
| sidney | can someone tell me if this is the correct command to mount a drive sudosudo mount -sdb | 03:59 |
| Lunis | sebsebseb: ooh i bet you've just been waiting to do a bang command all day, right? :P | 03:59 |
| sebsebseb | Flannel: this is all under your nose, see above | 03:59 |
| th0r | sidney: nope | 03:59 |
| raulh | hmmm, i still can't get 8600GTS to work, any advice? | 03:59 |
| allquixotic | Anyone know of a well-supported USB 802.11n adapter that is __not__ based on the Ralink rt2870? | 04:00 |

| Voss | How about wearing pirate hats and parrots on your shoulder and saying arghhh a lot while using ubuntu? | 04:00 |
| mazda01 | hey guys, i am using mythbuntu and xfce4-panel is using almost 21mb of memory. any thoughts? | 04:00 |
| Flannel | thug4life: The first few lines should mention a CD, does it? Are there # at the beginning of all of the lines? | 04:00 |
| KE7TMA | isn't linux basically pirated from AT&T anyway? | 04:00 |
| Lunis | Voss: I hereby nominate you for IRC quote of the century. I'm literally LOLing right now | 04:00 |
| raulh | linux, pirated? are u dumb or something? | 04:00 |
| Flannel | KE7TMA: No. | 04:00 |
| Lunis | raulh: slow down, it's just a joke xP | 04:01 |
| raulh | linux is open source. | 04:01 |
| KE7TMA | no huh | 04:01 |
| Lunis | oh dear, afk burn notice is on | 04:01 |

| Zxcvb | any idea how long a full kernel compile should take on a 1.6ghz atom n280? | 04:02 |
| raulh | only 2 left for the season. | 04:02 |
| Flannel | Lunis, raulh: Please take non-support discussions to #ubuntu-offtopic, thanks. | 04:02 |
| Voss | Lunis, I only some hot girl reads that and decides she must meet me ;-) | 04:02 |
| Flannel | !anyone | JohnCDI1 | 04:02 |
| ubottu | JohnCDI1: 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? | 04:02 |
| raulh | johnCDI1, what are you trying to do?? | 04:03 |
| echosystm | is anyone here using xfce? | 04:03 |
| th0r | JohnCDI1: what do you need? | 04:03 |
| jdu | Senesence, sorry for not responding. it is possible that there would be problems with the disk and ubuntu would still work fine. | 04:03 |
| spO | what is fusion? | 04:03 |
| jdu | Senesence, you don't want to trust smart a 100% though. | 04:03 |
| allquixotic | JohnCDI1, I believe the answer to your question is "yes" ;-) I know more than nothing about ssh; hence, someone knows something about ssh; hence, the answer to your question is 'yes' :) | 04:03 |
| JohnCDI1 | ive got it up and running and can login but when i use the scp command to do from remote machine to local i get 100% readout saying the file was transferred but when i go to look for it i find nothing in the directory i assigned | 04:03 |
| Voss | Jdu, I would strongly recommend making a new disk | 04:03 |
| jdu | Senesence, probably Voss is right | 04:04 |
| raulh | john it might have to do with the Server. IE: the console/phone/etc/ running the SSH server. | 04:04 |
| jdu | you don't want to trust chance with your data | 04:04 |
| thug4life | Flannel: yes it has # deb Cdrom | 04:05 |
| JohnCDI1 | hmm its just laptop to desktop both running ubuntu and it was just a text file | 04:05 |
| Senesence | Just to confirm: You're telling me that this, plus the fact that gparted stalls on scans, means my disk is dying? | 04:05 |
| dahlia | so is samba now the recommended way to share file systems between unix systems? | 04:05 |
| mazda01 | hey guys, i am using mythbuntu and xfce4-panel is using almost 21mb of memory. any thoughts? | 04:05 |
| Flannel | thug4life: Do any of them *not* have a hash infront of them? | 04:05 |
| raulh | John: try sending it to a already created directory, it might have to do with CHMOD's aswell. | 04:05 |
| sidney | I have a second drive ext3. this forum gives this command to mount it sudo mkdir /media/storage | 04:05 |
| ctmjr | spO: fusion as in compiz-fusion or fusion as in science? | 04:05 |
| Voss | Senesence get what you can off the hard drive now, and get a new hard drive | 04:05 |
| Lunis | dahlia: it's per-person. i like ftp myself :P | 04:05 |
| thug4life | Flannel: u mean in front of the # | 04:05 |
| jdu | Senesence, I don't know. stalling on scans might mean a bad floppy drive or something. | 04:06 |
| myself | is there a way to make it so you can keep stuff copied in the clipboard after closing a program that you copied it from? | 04:06 |
| jdu | Senesence, you'll have to decide for yourself. but if tools designed to detect problems complain, well... | 04:06 |
| dahlia | Lunis, I mean I dont see much support for nfs and a lot for samba... so I assume everyone is using samba these days? | 04:06 |
| raulh | myself: even if you close it, it stays on clipboard. | 04:06 |
| jdu | Senesence, really, it's not my area of expertise; I suggest getting a second opinon | 04:06 |
| jdu | opinon | 04:06 |
| Flannel | thug4life: No, I mean the # itself. Doany of the CDrom lines not have a # with them? | 04:06 |
| myself | raulh it doesn't | 04:06 |
| jdu | opinion | 04:07 |
| Senesence | jdu: I disconnected the floppy, disabled it in bios, so that should not be a problem (also the buffer I/O errors are on the sda drive specifically) | 04:07 |
| raulh | yes it does, i just tried it. | 04:07 |
| myself | not for me | 04:07 |
| myself | i close Evolution Mail for example and i dont have it copied anymore | 04:07 |
| Voss | sen, SATA or ide? | 04:07 |
| raulh | What did you copy..? | 04:07 |
| Lunis | dahlia: personally i think that's because there's more demand for samba because of the amount of people networking at home between linux and windows boxes. i love nfs and i hate samba | 04:07 |
| myself | i dunno | 04:07 |
| Senesence | Voss: sda, so sata I guess. | 04:07 |
| raulh | lol you probably copied an object, which you can't paste. | 04:08 |
| thug4life | Flannel: there isnt no / in front of the # | 04:08 |
| raulh | anyway idk what to tell ya, ill brb i have to restart X | 04:08 |
| Voss | Sen, change it to a different SATA port and if its still giving you IO errors get your stuff off the drive ASAP, If it stops giving errors you have have a bad SATA connector on your motherboard | 04:08 |
| Flannel | thug4life: that's not what I asked. | 04:08 |
| raulh | hmm alt+ctrl+backspace isn't restarting X o.o | 04:08 |
| Lunis | raulh: doesn't for me either i noticed the other day | 04:09 |
| === Odin is now known as th0r | ||
| raulh | weird... | 04:09 |
| Flannel | thug4life: Do any of the lines that have "deb cdrom" in them *not* have a "#" infront of that? | 04:09 |
| raulh | OH it might be because i just updated my system. | 04:09 |
| blognewb | Hi! | 04:09 |
| raulh | anyway i'm going to restart, cya soon. | 04:09 |
| Senesence | Voss: So it could be SATA cable, and/or the SATA port on the mobo? | 04:09 |
| blognewb | How do you set the PuTTy window always on top? | 04:10 |
| Voss | Sen, possibly, did you change something recently hardwarewise? | 04:10 |
| thug4life | Flannel: sorry i mis read you | 04:10 |
| webb_b | what does everyone think about sirc irc client | 04:10 |
| Senesence | Voss: No, but this is a fairly old rig. | 04:10 |
| Voss | Sen, or did you recently have a problem with the power supply? | 04:10 |
| Lunis | blognewb: that's dependent on the window manager i think | 04:11 |
| Flannel | blognewb: there's a menu option for it (a checkbox somewhere in settings) | 04:11 |
| thug4life | Flannel: no all 3 things with ded cd rom all have a # at the begining | 04:11 |
| Senesence | Voss: No, this has essentially just happened out of the blue. | 04:11 |

| dahlia | are there any tools for setting up nfs? I dont even have an /etc/exports file | 04:12 |
| thug4life | Flannel: sorry most of my screen is cut off yes there is one with out the # | 04:12 |

| Senesence | Later. | 04:13 |
| Flannel | thug4life: Alright. Then you should have it showing up as a repository. One question though, why are you looking to install fbset in the first place? | 04:13 |

| arooni-mobile___ | thiebaude, i already downlooaded firefox 3.5 but now what? | 04:24 |
| arooni-mobile___ | thiebaude, through synaptic | 04:24 |
| bastidrazor | Clouse, just copy the directory.. cp -Rp directory | 04:24 |
| Flannel | thug4life: Oh, that'd run fine. How much RAM does it have? | 04:24 |
| Clouse | I have googled and looked in the cp man but unless I am missing something (which I propblerbly am) nothing. | 04:25 |

| Raenir | I'm trying to install EVE-Online on Ubuntu (8.04 I think) anyone know if theres a proper channel for it? | 04:34 |
| CaptainCrook | Lunis: in fact ... i've combined 2 menu.lst file in one... and deleted the original one | 04:34 |
| Lunis | Raenir: here is as good as anywhere | 04:34 |
| Lunis | CaptainCrook: you should never mess with menu.lst since it's auto-generated | 04:34 |
| Raenir | Also does Ubuntu have something like Itunes? | 04:35 |
| Lunis | Raenir: quite a few things | 04:35 |
| Lunis | Raenir: songbird is your best bet | 04:35 |
| mazda01 | libtech: what can I do to solve this issue? do I even really need the xfce4-panel? could I just add launchers to the desktop? | 04:35 |
| Lunis | Raenir: there's also Quod Libet, Exaile, Amarok, Rhythmbox, Banshee, and others, but Songbird is the most iTunes-like | 04:35 |
| cbcbilling | can anyone help me fixing usplash on root? | 04:36 |
| CaptainCrook | Lunis: yeah but better when manually arranged... is there any way to generate uuid lines? where those come from? | 04:36 |
| Raenir | songbird also work with managing my ipod? | 04:36 |
| Lunis | Raenir: through a plugin, i'm pretty sure it does | 04:36 |
| Lunis | Raenir: but don't quote me | 04:36 |
| Lunis | CaptainCrook: manually editing menu.lst on Ubuntu is asking for trouble. UUIDs can be found in /dev/disk/by-UUID (i THINK) | 04:37 |
| CaptainCrook | Lunis: allright thanks | 04:38 |

| raulh | sorry Raenir, i didn't see what you ask, what's wrong? | 04:49 |
| Raenir | None of my songs from my ntfs drive are working | 04:50 |
| att0 | I installed Ubuntu server 9.04 and I went ahead and installed ubuntu-desktop so I could have a GUI. Now I want to remove ubuntu-desktop, but when I try, it says it will only free 52kb. How can I fully uninstall ubuntu-desktop? | 04:50 |
| Raenir | they stay at "0:00" | 04:50 |
| raulh | can you read from the NTFS drive? | 04:50 |
| Raenir | yes | 04:50 |
| Raenir | I can see it and browse the folders | 04:50 |
| raulh | hmmm.. try to open a text file or something from it. | 04:50 |
| eboyjr | Should I use ext3 or ext4? | 04:50 |
| raulh | ext3, from personal experience never used ext4. | 04:51 |
| B1OS | i wanted to install vsftpd and it says this: "0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 5 to remove and 0 not upgraded." Does that mean i already have it? or what? | 04:51 |
| === hiredgoo1 is now known as hiredgoon | ||
| Raenir | yup just opened a text file | 04:51 |
| Raenir | worked fine | 04:51 |
| raulh | 1 newly installed, means you installed it B1os | 04:51 |
| LogicalDash | eboyjr, I have had no trouble with ext4, the main thing to worry about I've heard is that some applications that rely heavily on timestamps and the like might not work the same between the two filesystems. | 04:51 |
| raulh | Raenir, what are you using to play them/ | 04:51 |
| B1OS | raulh: what does it remove? | 04:51 |
| dassouki | lsusb sees my webcam, but i can't seem to open it with camorama or cheese | 04:51 |
| raulh | it says TO remove, i hasn't remove anything. | 04:52 |
| LogicalDash | dassouki, what webcam? | 04:52 |
| Raenir | Im trying everything | 04:52 |
| Raenir | tried songbird | 04:52 |
| eboyjr | LogicalDash: Oh wow okay that seems fine.. they are just timestamps. I hope FSpot doesn't use it like that | 04:52 |
| Raenir | tried ryhmbox | 04:52 |
| Raenir | songs stay at 0:00 and dont play | 04:52 |
| dassouki | LogicalDash: Bus 002 Device 002: ID 174f:6a33 Syntek Web Cam - Asus F3SA, F9J, F9S | 04:52 |
| LogicalDash | eboyjr, no, there are some other fairly significant changes between the filesystems, it's just that you won't see them as long as your programs don't use them | 04:52 |
| ctmjr | !mp3 | Raenir | 04:53 |
| ubottu | Raenir: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 04:53 |
| Raenir | it sees the files, it loaded the files it just wont "play" them | 04:53 |
| Tiki218 | Raenir, did you install the Ubuntu Restricted Extras Package. That should alow you to play .mp3 and such | 04:53 |
| raulh | Uhh. i don't know.. ill try to see if i get the same error. | 04:53 |
| LogicalDash | dassouki, ah, go into your BIOS and make sure that the webcam is turned on. | 04:53 |
| B1OS | raulh: then why does it say "After this operation, 2413kB disk space will be freed." | 04:53 |
| raulh | it's probably removing old, out-dated dependencies. | 04:53 |
| B1OS | ok | 04:53 |
| eboyjr | LogicalDash: Thank you! I heard ext4 was faster. I have already selected it accidentally anyway :P | 04:54 |
| Raenir | I thought I installed the package | 04:54 |
| Raenir | ill go double check | 04:54 |
| Tiki218 | the other packages to look at are gstreamer packages under the sound&video tab in the add/remove applications | 04:55 |
| Tiki218 | i have both installed and can listen to music from my ntfs drive | 04:55 |
| raulh | does anyone know a solution to my scroll problem? firefox is really laggy, frame lag when i scroll down all pages. | 04:55 |

| Raenir | k installing packages | 04:55 |
| Raenir | Anyone know how to get EVE Online to work on Ubuntu? I tried running it off from the NTFS drive and it exploded | 04:56 |
| Raenir | using Wine | 04:56 |
| att0 | How can I remove ubuntu-desktop and all dependencies? | 04:56 |
| Raenir | for games and applications that need wine to run do I need to reinstall them onto Ubuntu? | 04:56 |
| RtFM | raenir yea i got it working | 04:56 |
| LogicalDash | dassouki, you might have better luck if you use the alternative Linux kernel from array.org | 04:57 |
| raulh | omg this scroll lag is driving me insane i can't find a fix.. | 04:57 |
| RtFM | Raenir im not sure if you do but i know you need to run wine in windowed mode | 04:57 |
| LogicalDash | dassouki, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/269123 | 04:58 |
| RtFM | Raenir you also need to run it from the exe | 04:58 |

| Raenir | wine needs to be "run"? | 04:58 |
| Raenir | I dont see the option to run wine | 04:58 |
| Raenir | I see it under applications with 4 options "notepad, browse C:\, configure, and uninstall | 04:59 |
| lstarnes | Raenir: it's run through the terminal | 04:59 |
| raulh | ok, so i narrowed it down when i use the scroll bar and hold and drag it doesn't lag but when i use my mouse it lags could it be because it's a wireless mouse?? | 04:59 |
| LogicalDash | Raenir, you wouldn't run it explicitly if you're working in the window manager, you'd open Windows executables "using" WINE | 04:59 |
| psychcf | Has anyone had any problems with slow video playback? | 04:59 |
| spO | what does Ubuntu usually use to automount usb drives? | 04:59 |
| lstarnes | Raenir: also, anything opened with wine's file browser would probably be run throigh wine | 05:00 |
| LogicalDash | Raenir, this actually does tell the computer to run Wine on the executable, fwiw | 05:00 |
| raulh | psychcf, do you have appropriate graphics drivers? | 05:00 |
| psychcf | raulh: yep, latest nvidia drivers | 05:00 |
| LogicalDash | sp0, FUSE | 05:00 |
| psychcf | it'll slow down, then stop, then play back any frames that it missed | 05:00 |
| psychcf | and it does that over and over again | 05:01 |
| raulh | I never have expirianced laggy video, it could be your graphics card, because i remember my old pc would do it, but after i upgraded it i had no problems | 05:01 |
| psychcf | yeah, but this is a fairly new computer | 05:01 |
| Raenir | k, how do I run wine in the terminal? | 05:01 |
| raulh | AHA eat that ubuntu. | 05:02 |
| raulh | it was the Effect's making firefox's scroll laggy. | 05:02 |
| lstarnes | Raenir: it depends on which file you need to run | 05:02 |
| LogicalDash | Raenir, usually just "wine <path to Windows exec>" | 05:02 |

| lstarnes | Aepos: which one? | 06:04 |
| Aepos | A game. | 06:04 |
| Aepos | :D | 06:04 |
| lstarnes | Aepos: which is? | 06:04 |

| lstarnes | Aepos: is that the absolute only think you want running, excluding all other applications? | 06:05 |
| lstarnes | *thing | 06:05 |
| Aepos | I've heard of tools that will isolate a process so that all of the processor's power is devoted to running it. | 06:05 |
| Aepos | Exactly. | 06:05 |
| bullgard4 | [Ubuntu 9.04] PulseAudio Manager > Sample Cache plays back wrong sounds with me. How can I correct that? | 06:05 |

| lstarnes | Aepos: you could just change its nice rating through the system monitor | 06:06 |
| Aepos | Its... nice rating? | 06:06 |
| prappl93 | My computer won't view Windows Networks, it lists them, but when I go to open them, they don't load. Could some one help me fix this? | 06:07 |
| lstarnes | Aepos: its scheduling priority | 06:07 |
| Aepos | Awesome. How do I open the system monitor? | 06:07 |
| lstarnes | Aepos: the lower the rating, the more processing time gets allocated to it | 06:07 |
| Exhahe | prapp193: Samba will solve that problem | 06:07 |
| lstarnes | Aepos: system > administration > system monitor | 06:07 |
| prappl93 | I have Samba installed recently, do I have to restart for that to take change? | 06:07 |
| lstarnes | Aepos: you could also stop any services that you don't need | 06:07 |
| Aepos | Alright. Turning other processes' scheduling priority up will help, right? | 06:08 |
| Datz1 | hello, when attempting to install samba "sudo apt-get install samba" I get"subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1" Is there a command to fix this? | 06:08 |
| Aepos | Alright. | 06:08 |
| iceroot | Raenir: chmod +x install-wine-deps.sh && ./install-wine-debs.sh | 06:08 |

| Aepos | Alright. | 06:08 |
| Exhahe | prapp193: make sure the proper workgroup is listed.. a reboot I think is required after completion of install/configuration | 06:08 |
| Aepos | And I can halt un-needed processes without any harm done, eh? | 06:08 |
| Raenir | k i "installed" it | 06:08 |
| lstarnes | Aepos: it depends on the process | 06:08 |
| Aepos | Alrighty, thanks. | 06:09 |
| prappl93 | Exhahe, how do I set up Samba... I have it installed, but dunno how to config it | 06:09 |
| lstarnes | Aepos: you can't exactly halt a process | 06:09 |
| Aepos | Pause it? | 06:09 |
| lstarnes | Aepos: you can end one though | 06:09 |
| Aepos | Okay. | 06:09 |
| Aepos | That's fine, too. | 06:09 |
| Aepos | Bye. | 06:09 |
| lstarnes | Aepos: but use extreme caution | 06:09 |
| Aepos | Always. | 06:09 |
| lstarnes | Aepos: if you don't know what something does, assume it does something vital | 06:09 |

| prappl93 | Exactly | 06:09 |
| Aepos | Awesome. | 06:09 |
| Raenir | Garddarnit | 06:10 |

| prappl93 | Datz1, do a "sudo apt-get install samba4" | 06:14 |
| lstarnes | Datz1: it depends on what is causing the post-install script to fail | 06:14 |

| Datz1 | lstarnes: http://pastebin.com/m20dcce85 | 06:17 |
| lstarnes | Datz1: apparently the script failed because samba couldn't start | 06:18 |
| Datz1 | lstarnes: I did "sudo apt-get remove samba" earlier because it wasn't working and no one would help. :( | 06:18 |

| lstarnes | blognewb: what is your current $PATH set to? (if you don't know, echo $PATH) | 06:19 |
| lstarnes | Datz1: check for errors in /var/log/samba | 06:19 |
| prappl93 | lstarnes, could Datz1 have problems because they aren't running from ~ or does that matter? | 06:19 |
| lstarnes | prappl93: that shouldn't matter | 06:19 |

| koolhead1 | what is the shortcut for lock screen in ubuntu | 06:23 |
| koolhead1 | :P | 06:23 |

| ubottu | Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz | 06:23 |
| deleuzer | Raenir, why do you want to run eve? | 06:23 |
| koolhead1 | lstarnes: cool | 06:24 |
| mattwj2002 | why is my wusb54g so slow in ubuntu? | 06:24 |
| Exhahe | Haven't tried since they stopped support for Linux.. I just came back to Ubuntu when I get FFXI running.. | 06:24 |
| mattwj2002 | I know it is usb and how can I check what usb speed it is running at? | 06:24 |
| lstarnes | blognewb: you could still use the version that you just installed, but it's not going to be updated automatically for security patches and it can't be managed through the package manager | 06:24 |
| Raenir | uum because I like EVE? And I'm currently paying to play EVE? | 06:24 |
| Raenir | why wouldn't I want to run EVE? | 06:24 |
| blognewb | lstarnes: oh really? wow | 06:24 |
| Exhahe | It's a great game.. until you start getting into the 30+ day trainings | 06:25 |
| make | Raenir i use wine to run EVE.but slow....slow | 06:25 |
| blognewb | lstarnes: what is your advice? how do i clean this current install up and use the one in the repo | 06:25 |
| deleuzer | Raenir, I thought you were talking about the anti-plagiarism software | 06:25 |
| lstarnes | blognewb: depending on how it was installed, it might be possivle to use sudo make uninstall | 06:25 |
| Raenir | I seem to be getting "program has encounter a serious error and needs to close" and promptly explodes | 06:25 |
| lstarnes | blognewb: you can install the repo version with sudo apt-get install nginx | 06:26 |

| blognewb | lstarnes: then it will update itself? | 06:27 |
| txmale4969 | talking to me? | 06:27 |
| blognewb | lstarnes: you mean i can apget install without cleaning the one i have first? | 06:27 |
| lstarnes | blognewb: it will be updated whenever a major bug or secuity vulnerability is found in the packaged version | 06:27 |
| deleuzer | txmale4969, look in System >> Administration >> Software Sources | 06:27 |
| lstarnes | blognewb: you can, but things in /usr/local typically get preference over /usr | 06:28 |
| deleuzer | txmale4969, you probably have the cd listed as a source | 06:28 |
| lstarnes | blognewb: 9.10 currently has nginx 0.7.59-1 and might have a newer version when 9.10 is released | 06:28 |

| deleuzer | mattwj2002, I hear you but have no idea...what are you trying to transfer? | 06:29 |
| lstarnes | txmale4969: you can fix that by going into system > administration > software sources then looking under the "third-party sources" section for the cdrom entry | 06:29 |

| mattwj2002 | just some files using samba | 06:29 |

| prappl93 | datz, I am rather noobish to Ubuntu, I just know bits and pieces of it sofar | 06:30 |
| deleuzer | mattwj2002, is it only a samba problem or is it global? | 06:30 |
| lstarnes | Datz1: have you looked in /var/log/samba/log.smbd ? | 06:30 |
| mattwj2002 | I think it is global | 06:30 |
| txmale4969 | nope just archive canocical and wine hq | 06:30 |
| blognewb | lstarnes: should i delete this faulty install first? | 06:30 |
| mattwj2002 | because it works fine if I use my hard wire nic | 06:30 |

| raulh | ive seen this alot ". Edit /etc/apt/sources.list and put this line:" | 06:45 |
| lstarnes | noobo: where /dev/device-node is the path to the device's node, and /path/to/mount-point is the path to the mount point | 06:45 |
| raulh | how do i edit the sources list...? | 06:45 |
| JohnCDI1 | i still get the same error to where it names every word of the band track name as no such file or directory | 06:45 |
| lstarnes | noobo: in linux and unix, mounting refers to attaching a filesystem, drive, or partition to a directory so that you can access the files in it | 06:46 |
| lstarnes | raulh: alt+f2, gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list | 06:46 |
| bluejeans | raulh, open /etc/apt/sources.list as root in a text editor | 06:47 |
| raulh | thanks guys. | 06:47 |
| Datz1 | lstarnes: I created dir /var/log/samba/ and a log file was produced indicating: Unable to open configuration file "/etc/samba/smb.conf | 06:48 |
| noobo | ok...well as soon as I plugged it in for the first time it still opened up and I can see the files just fine...so I guess I dont have to do that... | 06:48 |
| blognewb | hi again lstarnes how do i check if the dir "/usr/local/sbin" exists and how do i peek inside it? | 06:48 |

| moymoy | om26er: you can try.. i realized that the problem wasn't compiz.. it was compositing in general.. because i disabled compiz, it worked, i enabled xcompmgr (old X compositor) and choppy video came back, see how metacity compositing goes.. and i bet you use NVIDIA right? | 07:52 |

| psycho_oreos | linuxguy2009, hehe | 08:10 |
| psycho_oreos | godmodegrafix, command line interface | 08:10 |
| psycho_oreos | !cli | 08:10 |
| ubottu | The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 08:10 |

| Gadu | PolikiterALT: I prefer to choose and setup my desktop environment myself | 08:12 |

| Flannel | Gadu: With the alternate CD, you can choose to install a CLI-only system | 08:13 |
| myself | hey how long does it take for a nick to expire on this network | 08:13 |
| jussi01 | !minimal | Gadu | 08:13 |
| ubottu | Gadu: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 08:13 |
| indus | Gadu: its just easier i feel with the alternate installer, it doesnt take resources like the live cd,so if you know what you are doing,its great | 08:13 |
| linuxguy2009 | Flannel: Now there is something I didnt know you could do. Never tried the ubuntu alternative cd. | 08:13 |

| psycho_oreos | linuxguy2009, yum's source code is python which is different to apt-get which most likely has C source code as base | 08:19 |
| blognewb | lstarnes: i mean list down the files and subfolders inside that particular dir? | 08:19 |
| godmodegrafix | ls -1 | 08:19 |
| blognewb | that's what dir \w does iirc... | 08:19 |
| lstarnes | blognewb: ls usually does that | 08:19 |
| psycho_oreos | lstarnes, no no, dir /w I think shows only "folders" | 08:20 |
| blognewb | oh | 08:20 |
| message144 | blognewb, the equiv of dir /w should be "ls -hal" | 08:20 |

| Ileden | Hi! I can't get the open-source "ati" driver to load using xorg.conf. An Ubuntu guide claims this should be possible for my card, and I've followed the guide's instructions. How do I troubleshoot the issue? | 08:30 |
| lbray785 | not sure exactly | 08:30 |
| Samus_Aran | I'm on a fresh install of Ubuntu 9.04 and if I try to "xinit -- :1" why do I get "X: user not authorized to run the X server, aborting" ? | 08:30 |

| linuxguy2009 | HerbMonk: Whats the problem exactly? In english? | 08:34 |
| Samus_Aran | indus: of course it's possible and recommended. an X server is just a graphical interface, and there is no limit to how many of them can be loaded at the same time | 08:35 |

| === Diehardy is now known as BTK_GreenRiver | ||
| linuxguy2009 | HerbMonk: ATI? | 08:35 |
| Samus_Aran | indus: I've been using X since XFree86 3.3.x and using multiple X servers for almost the whole time | 08:35 |
| HerbMonk | i'v got crappy frame rates and no 3d exeleration | 08:35 |
| HerbMonk | yes ati | 08:35 |
| HerbMonk | amd x64 | 08:35 |
| indus | Samus_Aran:hmm | 08:35 |
| linny | HerbMonk: what card ? | 08:35 |
| Samus_Aran | just not sure why Ubuntu is locking down the X server | 08:35 |
| linuxguy2009 | HerbMonk: Sorry to say I have zero experience with ATI cards at all. | 08:36 |
| HerbMonk | VGA compatible controller [0300]: ATI Technologies Inc RS690M [Radeon X1200 Series] [1002:791f] | 08:36 |
| indus | Samus_Aran: why has X been implemented as a network server by design i would like to know | 08:36 |
| Ileden | HerbMonk: i did the xorg.conf editing as the guide said, but it didn't help. 'lshw -C display' reports the display as "UNCLAIMED". I assume it should read something else when it's working | 08:36 |
| Samus_Aran | indus: most distro allow the user to launch X out-of-the-box, including Arch Linux, Slackware, Knoppix and most others I've tried | 08:36 |
| linny | i would try envy-ng | 08:36 |
| Samus_Aran | indus: the default is to allow local only, and not networked clients. you need xhost to allow network clients | 08:36 |
| HerbMonk | Ileden yea mine said the same thing | 08:36 |
| HerbMonk | bogus | 08:36 |
| BTK_GreenRiver | Hey y0 | 08:36 |
| indus | Samus_Aran: hmm x host | 08:37 |
| linny | HerbMonk: i would try envy-ng i know its unsupported but its reported to work withthat card | 08:37 |
| indus | HerbMonk linny ya worth a try | 08:37 |
| HerbMonk | linny? | 08:37 |
| Ileden | HerbMonk: also my Xorg.0.log reports onw problem "(EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found)" - i'm wondering why it talks about NVIDIA not ati (my previous card was nvidia) | 08:37 |

| indus | Ileden: you might need to completely remove the nvidia modules | 08:38 |
| linuxguy2009 | lbray785: Whats up you need help? | 08:38 |
| indus | Ileden: sudo aptitude remove --purge nvidia* | 08:38 |
| Ileden | indus: ok. how do i... right, thanks! :) | 08:39 |
| lbray785 | HerbMonk: thanks for the entry that solved my problem | 08:39 |
| linuxguy2009 | lbray785: If its for the same thing as HerbMonk, I have no experience with ATI cards at all. | 08:39 |
| Samus_Aran | indus: if your question was serious, X was designed as a network server so that a more powerful server can ... well, serve. if you want to see X serving put to great use, check out LTSP. I've used that to power a computer lab of 20+ 486s with a single powerful multi-CPU box, works great | 08:39 |
| Ileden | indus: reported no packages matching nvidia* | 08:40 |
| indus | Ileden: hmm | 08:41 |
| Ileden | nevyn, indus: I had non-free nvidia drivers installed with my previous card and when it broke down and I replaced the card, they weren't in the drivers list anymore. i've done nothing to remove them, since I don't know how. | 08:41 |

| indus | error404notfound: why dont u try the new flash 64 bit? a new version was just released july 30th | 10:04 |
| ikonia | error404notfound: try removing flashplugin-nonfree, | 10:04 |
| ikonia | indus: why would you suggest beta products ? | 10:04 |
| error404notfound | indus, and i would have to install using source then? | 10:05 |
| ikonia | error404notfound: also remove the flash files in /var/apt/cache | 10:05 |
| indus | ikonia: because it works very well for a lot of people | 10:05 |
| ikonia | error404notfound: /var/cache/apt sorry | 10:05 |
| error404notfound | ikonia, doesn't work that way alone, you will have to remove flashplugin-installer as well | 10:05 |
| indus | ikonia: its an alpha still actually | 10:05 |
| error404notfound | ikonia, for that "apt-get clean" or "apt-get autoclean" would work :D | 10:05 |
| ikonia | indus: ok - then why suggest alpha softrware to epople randomly | 10:05 |
| ikonia | error404notfound: if there is a problem with the configuration I've seen apt-get clean miss packages, hence why it may have been worth checking | 10:05 |
| indus | ikonia: but people have documented that (and also my experience) it works much better than the crappy nsplugin fix | 10:06 |
| ikonia | indus: ok - so if I documented that it didn't does that make it fact ? | 10:06 |
| indus | ikonia: error404notfound i would say it works beautifully | 10:06 |
| indus | ikonia: if there is an official alternative which isnt better, then whats wrong in recommending a native 64 bit? | 10:06 |
| error404notfound | indus, but that would mean source code install? | 10:07 |
| ikonia | indus: how do you know it's not metter ? | 10:07 |
| error404notfound | :'( | 10:07 |
| error404notfound | guys don't fight, please? | 10:07 |
| indus | ikonia: nvm, you can suggest your fix | 10:07 |
| ikonia | error404notfound: yes, you'd have to use the adobe installer (which isn't different from what the ubutu package actaully does) but it would be outside the package managers control | 10:07 |
| error404notfound | ikonia, and i dont like that, one have to do manual upgrades of such packages... | 10:08 |
| indus | error404notfound: there is no installer, create a folder under .mozilla called plugins in home directory,move the libflashplayer.so there | 10:08 |
| ikonia | error404notfound: yes, I agree it's not a good idea | 10:08 |
| error404notfound | indus, i am on a server install, so ideally no .mozilla | 10:08 |

| Keiffer | Hi. I have a little problem understanding my network topography. Is anyone willing to help? | 10:09 |
| ikonia | error404notfound: not aware of a launchpad solution to be honest, I assume you have a desktop running on your server install ? | 10:09 |
| fahadsadah | Keiffer: OK. | 10:09 |
| grawity | GoogleDidntHelp: 'dd' can copy the partition to a big file, assuming you have enough space. | 10:09 |
| grawity | GoogleDidntHelp: Copying chunk by chunk is also possible | 10:09 |
| error404notfound | ikonia, why would i? i am just trying to install openmeetings | 10:10 |
| Keiffer | fahadsadah, can I private you? it\s not reallz a ubntu discussion | 10:10 |
| GoogleDidntHelp | grawity: I don't have enough space to do a full copy anywhere, my only option is four or five DVDs | 10:10 |
| ikonia | error404notfound the viewer has dependencies on the desktop I believe (not fact) | 10:10 |
| meteor`` | IM getting this whenever I try to install any software from add/remove panel -> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m6d269688 | 10:10 |
| error404notfound | ikonia, i would humbly disagree... | 10:10 |

| indus | error404notfound: in case ikonia's idea wont work, you can try the 64 bit flash directly,works good for me http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/libflashplayer-10.0.32.18.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz | 10:14 |
| meteor`` | the only thing left now isa fresh install :/ | 10:14 |
| error404notfound | indus, and you install it with "./configure && make && make install" ? | 10:14 |
| GoogleDidntHelp | grawity: thanks for the help. | 10:15 |
| theatro | sobersabre, try a mirror if you need to update asap | 10:15 |
| ShapeShifter499 | can someone help? | 10:15 |
| indus | error404notfound: nothing to intall, you have to move the libflashplayer.so file to a folder called plugins in .mozilla, but you said your case dont have a mozilla plugin so <gulP> | 10:15 |
| ShapeShifter499 | I had two options(upon others) that where labeled "animations" and "animation add-ons" and after updating/upgrading my ubuntu with the "update manager" the second option "animation add-ons" is now missing, I didn't loose any function except for the airplane one | 10:15 |
| sobersabre | I am using mirrors AND the official canonical site. | 10:15 |
| sobersabre | but why does the off. site fail !? | 10:15 |
| ShapeShifter499 | why did I loose that option? | 10:15 |
| indus | error404notfound: probably what ikonia says then,with the official package_ reconfigure flash? | 10:15 |
| sobersabre | another one is: Failed to fetch http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/dists/jaunty-backports/Release Unable to find expected entry main/binary-i386/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?) | 10:16 |
| ShapeShifter499 | oh and this is in compiz | 10:16 |

| babbio_ | how to use T-Mobile's Web'n'walk USB modem with ubuntu 9.04????? | 10:17 |
| indus | sobersabre: i always use main server.why? | 10:18 |
| VSpike | Is it possible to run 9.04 with FF 3.5 as the only FF and as the default browser? | 10:20 |
| grawity | VSpike: Yes | 10:20 |
| indus | VSpike: yes you can uninstall old ff | 10:21 |
| VSpike | indus: yeah, I've done that - i just noticed that the new FF doesn't satisfy the firefox metapackage | 10:22 |
| indus | VSpike: aah hmm how can u tell? | 10:22 |
| VSpike | indus: In fact the description for the firefox package says "This is a meta package that will point to the latest firefox package in ubuntu. Don't remove this if you want to receive automatic major version upgrades for this package in future." And yet FF 3.1 and FF 3.5 are available in the repo! | 10:23 |
| VSpike | indus: partly because it got removed when I removed FF 3.0 and also because the description for "firefox" says "Depends: firefox-3.0, firefox-3.0-branding" | 10:23 |
| indus | VSpike: ya iam not sure why it says so, its misleading, there are only security updates no upgrades | 10:23 |

| indus | VSpike: well,iam not sure | 10:24 |
| VSpike | indus: the executable is now /usr/bin/firefox-3.5 instead of /usr/bin/firefox - how can I make sure that everything that launches a web browser will find the new version? | 10:24 |
| fahadsadah | Symlink | 10:24 |
| indus | VSpike: hmm well, that wont happen i believe | 10:25 |
| VSpike | fahadsadah: I though about that, but it's likely to break other packages in future | 10:25 |
| VSpike | indus: I'll try the alternatives system | 10:25 |
| indus | VSpike: uhnn ya sudo update-alternatives --configure? | 10:25 |
| indus | VSpike: good idea ill try that too | 10:26 |
| VSpike | indus: sudo update-alternatives --set x-www-browser /usr/bin/firefox-3.5 | 10:27 |

| Alvinware | indus, could some one shutting my pidgin remotely? | 11:21 |
| cyberghoser1 | Matthai, so when u play for example a video in youtube hulu etc you hear the sound from it? | 11:21 |
| geirha | randy2009: No, sudo only grants access to run it. The file permissions restrict access on who get to write and read it | 11:22 |
| grawity | Alvinware: It probably simply crashes. | 11:22 |
| jaymacdonald | How do I sudo root firefox | 11:22 |
| Alvinware | grawity, but it occurs again, and agian. | 11:22 |
| grawity | Alvinware: Well, Pidgin is very unstable here too. | 11:22 |
| grawity | Alvinware: Try running 'pidgin' from a terminal -- when it closes, you'll see why. | 11:23 |
| geirha | randy2009: Just make sure you give the user access to only run that command (i.e. don't add it to the admin group) | 11:23 |
| Alvinware | grawity, so what's the stable chat client for ubuntu? | 11:23 |
| grawity | Alvinware: Empathy might be an alternative... (Having an empty contact list, I use neither.) | 11:24 |

I'm having a problem with overheating and I've read that a good solution is to adjust the cpu frequency, but the information in the forums that I got didn't work. It said to adjust a setting in gconf-editor that didn't exist. | 12:17 |

| jussi01 | hi all. in gimp, I have a selected area that I want to be transparent... how do I acheive that? | 12:42 |
| ikonia | jussi01: the selected area - not the unslectd area ? | 12:43 |
| indus | jussi01 need to ask in #gimp? | 12:43 |
| moymoy | indus: i think it's `/msg nickserv register password` and it registers your current nick | 12:43 |
| ikonia | indus: register information is in #freenode please | 12:43 |
| indus | yes thanks | 12:43 |
| indus | ikonia: no need of saying please all th etime :) | 12:44 |
| jussi01 | ikonia: hrm, I used the wand to get the selection. its a little weird | 12:44 |
| ikonia | indus: just being polite | 12:44 |
| ikonia | jussi01: I can do it back to front - but not how you're asking | 12:44 |
| jussi01 | basically I have an object on a white background that I want on a transparent background | 12:44 |
| indus | ikonia:ermm isnt this a gimp channel question ? | 12:45 |
| ikonia | jussi01: cut the object and paste it onto a new background, but mark the background as "transparant" | 12:45 |
| ikonia | indus: yes, the guys in #gimp will know better | 12:45 |
| Pici | jussi01: Create a new transparent layer, put it in the background and then select inverse and delete when on non-transparent background. | 12:45 |
| indus | hmm | 12:45 |
| jussi01 | Pici: ahh, that sounds like a plan, let me try that. | 12:45 |

| Rods_Tiger | there's no mouse wheel on the Acer Aspire One, it's a pad | 13:16 |
| nexsja | 'ello. I plan on reinstalling ubuntu. I have 3 partitions with 3 different mount points. 1: /, 2: /home, 3: /var/www. I wanna format only the first one. Will the others be wiped as well? | 13:16 |
| Rods_Tiger | but even if you use the normal arrow keys, the same applies | 13:17 |
| credobyte | nexsja: no | 13:17 |
| === InterCity-125 is now known as The_Toxic_Mite | ||
| credobyte | nexsja: select manual partitioning - choice is up to you ( by default none of them will be formated ) | 13:17 |
| Rods_Tiger | other people seem less tolerant of this sluggish and delayed behaviour than I am, but even I'm starting to get highly irritated by it. | 13:17 |
| Dr_Willis | Rods_Tiger: thats why i asked. I dont seem to have the issue here. but i tend to use a mouse with mine. could be some of the tweaks i did from the AAO forums tweaked the touchpad. I am using some example xorg.conf configs from t eh forums | 13:17 |
| === ait is now known as zikos | ||
| nexsja | credobyte: possitive? The setup told me, that it'll wipe quote: "(/etc, /bin, /usr, /var, etc...)" that's why i'm asking about /home | 13:18 |
| nexsja | it's not mentioned there, nor does it mention that it won't be wiped | 13:18 |
| Rods_Tiger | forget about the touch pad - even the cursor keys - in fact any form of interaction - is delayed considerably | 13:18 |
| nexsja | and if i set up the mount points again the same way, everything will stay the same? | 13:18 |
| Dr_Willis | Rods_Tiger: i would say check out the AAO forum threads - see if others have similer issues. there are some kernel boot tweaks/options that may help. | 13:19 |
| credobyte | nexsja: when you select manual partition and delete all the existing ones, create a few new ones ( the same mountpoint, the same size ), you'll see that they are not going to be formated ( unchecked ). | 13:19 |
| Rods_Tiger | I'm not going to mess about trying to reprogram this thing - it either installs and works, or not | 13:19 |
| Dr_Willis | Rods_Tiger: then just give up.. whatever you want... aparently you dont want 'help' | 13:20 |
| Dr_Willis | so im not going to waste any more time i guess.. | 13:20 |
| Rods_Tiger | No, I don't want to dick about with code and technical stuff. I was just expecting a chorus of other people to join in and say that it's really bad for them too, but they've moved on to xyz linux which is better, or something. | 13:20 |

| nexsja | credobyte: mmm... if i delete the partitions won't they be formatted then?! I don't quite get it, actually. I'm afraid that my /home partition will be formatted or won't be assigned currectly as the new mount point :< | 13:22 |
| Dr_Willis | nexsja: if you 'delete a partition' it becomes 'unallocated' with no fileystem at all on that area of the disk. | 13:23 |
| tsai | Hi all, I just installed ubuntu 9.04 x64. The sound was working fine and then stopped working after the restart. I've been googling for the last few hours with no luck. Any ideas? | 13:23 |
| Ernz | I don't even need it to automount, I just want to consistently specify WHERE it mounts, so tracker can cache it | 13:23 |
| TriMe | hey guys any of you got youtube problems with mozilla and watching a video??? like the screen goes all shity when selecting HQ :: HD :: Fastforwarding? | 13:23 |
| Dr_Willis | Ernz: if you set a proper 'label' on the filesystem - it will mount to that /media/Labelname or you can mount it specifically from /etc/fstab | 13:24 |
| credobyte | nexsja: well, they will be formated only after applying changes .. gparted allows you to modify them ( delete, resize, etc. ) without applying changes asap :) | 13:24 |
| nexsja | Dr_Willis: right, so... It'll be wiped, right? And if now, in the setup, i have "don't use this partition" and i just set it to ext3, and define a mount point - it's okay? | 13:24 |
| Dr_Willis | Ernz: for ext2/3 you use the tune2fs command to set a label. | 13:24 |
| orion_ | now last update vuze .3 to 4.2? | 13:24 |
| Ernz | Dr_willis - I have tried using e2label to change the ext4 label. It fails. :( | 13:24 |
| Dr_Willis | nexsja: if you delete a partition, then make a NEW one in the same place.. and set its type to be ext3.. you need to reformat it to be ext3. | 13:24 |
| jackd | hi everyone. is there a framegrabber software for linux? i mean a software which takes a few shots from a video file and saves it to one jpg. | 13:25 |
| credobyte | jackd: ffmpeg | 13:25 |
| nexsja | Dr_Willis: right. So i don't need to delete the partitions. | 13:25 |
| Dr_Willis | Ernz: cant say that ive tried that with ext4 yet.. you could mount it via fstab via UUID and just have it go where it needs | 13:25 |
| Dr_Willis | nexsja: you could just 'change its type' i guess then reformat.. but its not really that big a deal i think | 13:25 |

| Ernz | And Dr_Willis: Because it's a LUKS protected EXT4 partition, the label in nautilus changes from "1000.2 GB Encrypted Data" to "1000.2 GB Media" when it's mounted. But the mount location is still /media/disk. What device should I actually be changing the label of? | 13:27 |
| Dr_Willis | nexsja: so .. what are you trying to do then? | 13:27 |
| credobyte | jackd: all frames in single jpg pic ? | 13:27 |
| Dr_Willis | Ernz: no idea on LUKS. see what the mount command says the device is.. | 13:27 |
| nexsja | Dr_Willis: Reinstall Ubuntu. And saving all my data on other partitions, and saving the mount points | 13:27 |
| jackd | credobyte: yeah you will have then small thumbnails from each frame on a big jpg | 13:27 |

| Dr_Willis | nexsja: if home is on its own partition, you can just tell the installer to not touch your old home.. or perhaps mount it to /oldhome then you can edit the fstab to mount it to /home if you wanted... | 13:28 |
| credobyte | jackd: video format is not that important .. just change the values to what you got there :) | 13:28 |

| nymphonix | Slart, nope. if i do the "log out" then I at least hear the drum sounds. so i know it's not the speakers and the sound card is installed properly and snug. | 14:01 |

| sebsebseb | greyfox: Music in browser? and in a player? which? | 14:11 |
| Slart | nymphonix: you might want to check your settings in system, preferences, sound.. and check that everything is set to use pulseaudio | 14:11 |
| greyfox | sebsebseb : All playes, vlc movie player...etc | 14:11 |
| greyfox | sebsebseb : It's a problem with Ubuntu | 14:11 |
| sebsebseb | greyfox: by the sounds of it for whatever reason, only one proccess is taking over your sound, well there's a command that can be run, that should probably fix it, temporarily at least | 14:11 |
| greyfox | not the browser | 14:11 |
| sebsebseb | greyfox: hold on as I get the command | 14:11 |
| greyfox | ok | 14:12 |

| sebsebseb | greyfox: how? | 14:13 |
| greyfox | sebsebseb : I killed the firefox process | 14:13 |
| greyfox | now the sound is working | 14:13 |

| linduxed | if i delete a group, is there anything i should restart (or something like that) to have the changes take effect? | 14:16 |
| raymondjtoth | slate how i get the new intel wireless 3945 abg drivers? | 14:16 |
| raymondjtoth | so i uptodate | 14:16 |
| sebsebseb | greyfox: or what are you asking? what's alsa? | 14:17 |
| greyfox | yes | 14:17 |
| Slart | raymondjtoth: I have no idea.. (my nick is Slart as in S L A R T | 14:17 |
| van | hello, i have a new laptop and just installed ubuntu 9.04, but sound and wlan do not work | 14:17 |
| sebsebseb | greyfox: there are differnet ways to do sound in Linux, pulseaudio uses alsa | 14:17 |
| van | and ubuntuusers.de does not really help me | 14:17 |
| nexsja | If i'd be a religeous person i'd thank god and the wonderful people that made Ubuntu. | 14:17 |
| sebsebseb | greyfox: Google it :) | 14:17 |
| raymondjtoth | slart o ok can i use the intellinuxwireless | 14:18 |
| greyfox | okay | 14:18 |
| sebsebseb | van: on the Live CD? | 14:18 |
| Slart | raymondjtoth: I don't really know.. I don't use wireless with ubuntu.. perhaps someone else knows | 14:18 |
| raymondjtoth | any one deal with wireless here | 14:18 |
| nexsja | credobyte, i've reinstalled ubuntu perfectly. Everything is just perfect. Though only one thing bothers me. I forgot how to enable 'other' repos. Multiverse is enabled. though... | 14:18 |
| raymondjtoth | on ubuntu 9.04 | 14:18 |
| jrib | raymondjtoth: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) | 14:18 |
| hanbin973 | cd /ubuntu-ko | 14:19 |
| sebsebseb | !wireless | raymondjtoth van | 14:19 |
| ubottu | raymondjtoth van: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 14:19 |
| raymondjtoth | jrv o ok | 14:19 |
| nexsja | credobyte, i've done the !clone thingy. Trying to run "sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install" but none of the packages can be located :< | 14:19 |
| nymphonix | Slart, now rhythmbox shows up in the volume control. very odd. i guess that vlc plugin did the trick, even for rhythmbox. *confused* | 14:19 |
| Slart | nymphonix: did you change the settings in system, preferences, sound? | 14:19 |
| jrib | nexsja: have you run « sudo apt-get update » ? | 14:19 |
| Clouse | Hi there all all again, I have copied some files from one users home directory for another users home dir and now there are padlocks on them, so how do I get rid of the permissions and the padlocks? | 14:20 |
| nymphonix | Slart, and since you have been so helpful, do you have any clue on getting full 5.1/7.1 sound out of these things? It is definitely fuzzy and only coming out of the front speakers. | 14:20 |
| VegaStar | Good eveving | 14:20 |
| van | sebsebseb, i have already installed it. i know ubuntu from my previous laptop. and on vista everything works fine | 14:20 |
| nexsja | jrib, not yet. I was thinking i'll run that later, when i'll get all the packages. I have to do that now, i understand? | 14:20 |
| nymphonix | Slart, yeah. they are all pointing to the pulseaudio server now. | 14:20 |
| deexannihilate1 | Can someone please help me fix my wireless? | 14:20 |
| jrib | Clouse: you must chown them to the new user | 14:20 |

| raymondjtoth | seb donty show my card for ubuntu 9.04 i have intel 3945 abg | 14:20 |
| jrib | deexannihilate1: just ask your question | 14:20 |
| Slart | nymphonix: hang on.. phonecall | 14:20 |
| VeXaToR | Hi, got a prob: Videos (like flash) run very slowly using shiretoko 3.5.3pre with ubuntu 9.04 jaunty. Sound works arlight. | 14:20 |
| sebsebseb | van: yeah well just, because everything works fine with Ubuntu on another lap top, or in Vista, won't mean it will all just work with your current | 14:20 |
| jrib | nexsja: yes | 14:20 |
| nexsja | jrib, okay, that'll fix it? | 14:21 |
| sebsebseb | van: some lap tops are better with Ubuntu than others | 14:21 |
| nymphonix | Slart, no worries. the irony of all this is that this is going to be my "htpc" set up. | 14:21 |
| jrib | nexsja: apt-get update just refreshes package lists | 14:21 |
| nymphonix | htpc with no sound ... awesome. | 14:21 |
| nexsja | jrib, oh, okay. :) | 14:21 |
| Clouse | jrib: OK | 14:21 |
| van | sebsebseb, i understand :-) | 14:21 |
| gnomefreak | VeXaToR: 3.5.1 is in Jaunty repos | 14:21 |
| credobyte | nexsja: haven't tried any cloning yet, so .. can't help you with this. | 14:21 |
| van | but i do not want to walk away from ubuntu having been content with it | 14:21 |
| nexsja | credobyte, works like a charm. | 14:22 |
| VeXaToR | Repos? | 14:22 |
| gnomefreak | VeXaToR: yes Ubuntu repositories. where did you get yours from? | 14:22 |
| deexannihilate1 | Can someone please assist me in fixing the wireless driver on my computer. It frequently disconnects and is not very stable at all. I am using an acer Aspire d250 and this is a known issue. My last attempt at fixing it, following http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=902860&highlight=Atheros+Communications+Inc.+AR242x+802.11abg&page=6 (I believe it was page 1, #7 or 8), turned out disastrous. Any guided help is greatly apprec | 14:22 |
| VegaStar | I am typing sudo tune2fs -c 1 /dev/sda3 it says Setting maximal mount count to 1 but on the next restart nothing happens | 14:22 |
| sebsebseb | van: what kind of lap top? | 14:22 |
| VeXaToR | sudo apt-get firefox-3.5 :) | 14:22 |
| nexsja | credobyte, after reinstalling, when the system booted and i saw my desktop just the same as i left it... I felt so much love for ubuntu that i almost shed a tear :)))) | 14:22 |
| gnomefreak | VeXaToR: not from official repos you didnt | 14:23 |
| danbhfive | deexannihilate: do you know LBM? | 14:23 |
| van | sebsebseb: i have a asus x5dij | 14:23 |
| deexannihilate | danbhfive: nope | 14:23 |
| jrib | VegaStar: why are you doing this? | 14:23 |
| van | and currently someone tries to help me on linus-wireless | 14:23 |
| gnomefreak | VeXaToR: did you get it from a PPA? | 14:23 |
| credobyte | nexsja: (ok) | 14:23 |
| nexsja | :D | 14:23 |
| VegaStar | to check the disk in the next restart | 14:23 |
| danbhfive | deexannihilate: sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-(release) ? | 14:23 |
| van | sound does not work, although everything is switched on | 14:23 |
| VeXaToR | Geek friend of mine helped me, I had the same probs with older FF versions. | 14:23 |
| sebsebseb | van: sound and wireless are pretty common issues when it comes to Ubuntu on lap tops, thing is sometimes other distros such as Mandriva may just work for the wireless, and I guess maybe sound as well, when Ubuntu won't | 14:23 |
| jrib | VegaStar: just do 'sudo touch /forcefsck' assuming / is the root of the partition | 14:24 |
| VeXaToR | We added the url to third party sources and then -> sudo apt-get firefox-3.5 | 14:24 |
| rocko | winbuntu? | 14:24 |
| rocko | hello everyone | 14:24 |
| Slart | nymphonix: there.. back again.. all speakers you say.. I've only used 2.0 setups myself.. but from what I've heard from forums and such 5.1 sound should work if you are actually playing 5.1 audio.. ie not a stereo mp3 | 14:24 |
| VegaStar | OK I will try this to see if it works | 14:24 |
| gnomefreak | VeXaToR: in treminal type apt-cache policy firefox-3.5 and tell me what the installed line says. *only* the installed line | 14:24 |

| koolhead3 | 8.10 | 14:25 |
| VegaStar | By the way is there a fix for very slow Intel Graphics in my M70 Toshiba laptop? | 14:25 |
| jrib | VegaStar: if you want to do it your way I would set -C to some value like 999 | 14:25 |
| deexannihilate | danbhfive: I'm using remix 9.04. What should I enter for release? | 14:25 |
| Slart | nymphonix: I think you're looking for something that will convert stereo sound to 5.1 sound to make full use of all your speakers.. there might be plugins for that.. or you might be able to do some tricky stuff with alsa.. but I don't know of any specifics I'm afraid | 14:25 |
| iceroot | koolhead3: there was a bug in 8.04 with shutting down audio | 14:25 |

| aaron11 | huh\ | 14:26 |
| aaron11 | why | 14:26 |
| VeXaToR | gnomefreak, Surio, thx anyway. :) | 14:26 |
| gnomefreak | VeXaToR: i will answer your questions there or in #ubuntu-mozillateam but your best bet is the mailing lists | 14:26 |
| jrib | VegaStar: note that after reading the man page it may be a better idea to use the -C method I described. forcefsck may only work for / | 14:26 |

| aaron11 | can i remote someone | 14:26 |
| dare | hmm, is it usual for files/directories you write to a ntfs partition in ubuntu to not show up in windows? they don't show even after running ntfsfix + chkdsk | 14:26 |
| jrib | Clouse: -R | 14:26 |
| gnomefreak | VeXaToR: also please dont post youtube links that have nothing to do with Ubuntu support | 14:27 |
| VeXaToR | gnomefreak, I could hop over to #ubuntu-mozillateam anytim. | 14:27 |
| deexannihilate | danbhfive: and my connection keeps disconnecting. sorry! jaunty-9.04? | 14:27 |

| nexsja | ohm, wait... o_O | 14:31 |

| sipior | Chessguy: flush your iptables ruleset (preferably after saving them first...), and then see if you can connect. If so, add back rules until you can no longer connect. | 14:32 |

| geirha | VegaStar: What are the last two fields of the fstab line for that partition? Is it 0 0 ? | 14:47 |
| s000501 | kdub: and, just interested, why does 'rsync' work without full path specification? | 14:47 |

| grawity | s000501: With "command1; command2", command2 will always be run. | 14:55 |

| sebsebseb | Raenir: well I don't see anyone active in here right now, that I think can probably help you, and I guess your issue isn't distro specific, so give ##linux a try | 16:01 |
| bahhh | sebsebseb: what do you suggest me? | 16:01 |
| Raenir | Ill try that in a minute | 16:01 |
| Raenir | just posed in Ubuntu forums | 16:01 |
| Raenir | damn you all, making me signup for yet another forum community | 16:02 |
| sebsebseb | bahhh: yeah I guess you should try ##linux as well, since you may need someone experienced with your kind of issues, and that really isn't me, plus there seems to be no one else that is active in here right now, that can hep you | 16:02 |
| bahhh | ok thx | 16:03 |

| echosystm | howcome ms fonts look so horrible in ubuntu? :/ | 16:09 |
| stovicek | fireball_: what's wrong with it? other than the location being text based and not button based it looks just like mine | 16:10 |
| Chessguy | falco_: system -> preferences -> compizconfig | 16:10 |
| grawity | echosystm: What fonts you're talking about? | 16:10 |
| mechtech | falco: you must first install compiz and compizconfig settings manager | 16:10 |
| grawity | !ccsm | falco_ | 16:10 |
| ubottu | falco_: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz | 16:10 |

| echosystm | is there any way to turn that off? | 16:10 |
| falco_ | grawity: thanks | 16:11 |
| sebsebseb | natureshadow: sorry your on Karmic, your not entitled to support for it here, however if you don't want to do #ubuntu+1 I suppouse you can do the general Linux channal ##linux | 16:11 |
| natureshadow | sebsebseb: It is 100% certain that this issue is not specific to any ubuntu release | 16:11 |
| fireball_ | stovivek: correct! Please, any ideas, its a royal pita! | 16:11 |
| natureshadow | sebsebseb: In fact, I've been running the same config in jaunty before | 16:12 |

| sebsebseb | fireball_: I have a little trick up my sleve, that should get it back, maybe not the best thing to do though | 16:15 |
| fireball_ | ah, i think so | 16:15 |
| LordLandon | kosz: apt-get install subversion apache2 | 16:16 |
| fireball_ | yes, but "sleeping" ? | 16:16 |
| Coin_ | jrib: I removed all the orig.tar.gz files, and I need to free a little more space. Are the .diff.gz and .dsc also necessary or can I safely remove them ? | 16:16 |
| iPoRn | fireball_, restart it, it should fix the bar issue | 16:17 |
| sebsebseb | iPoRn oh that's an idea fireball_ could kill a proccess and get it restarted and then :D hopefuly | 16:17 |
| RORgasm | how would i check to see what process is running on a specific port on my localhost machine? | 16:17 |
| iceroot | Coin_: you need disk-space on /? sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get clean | 16:17 |
| kosz | thanks LordLandon | 16:17 |
| sebsebseb | iPoRn: you reminded me | 16:17 |
| Evet | I installed kde, But my desktop is still gnome-netbook style. How can change it to ordinary desktop? | 16:17 |

| Kuntra | hello, when automated security updates is enabled in synaptic, does the system reboot itself automatically whenever there is an updated requiring to do so? | 16:21 |

| benno_fra_dk | UBUNTU samba shares won't reveal themselves in Vista Home Premium - could anything possibly be wrong in my smb.con? | 16:21 |
| Coin_ | Hi iceroot. My problem is that I have downloaded a full mirror archive of ubuntu, which is 250Go, and I want to remove files to have a 120Go max archive. Amd64 files, as power pc and sparc, and source files are not necessary (I will just need to install binary packages from my mirror archive). | 16:21 |
| sebsebseb | Kuntra: well not synaptic, but the other thing will | 16:21 |
| Coin_ | Thanks jrib, I am removing those files also | 16:22 |
| Kuntra | sebsebseb: dpkg? | 16:22 |
| geirha | fireball_: Is it only nautilus or other apps as well? | 16:22 |
| jrib | Coin_: how much space do you still need? | 16:22 |
| sebsebseb | Kuntra: no notify-osd the black notifications in 9.04, yellow thing in previous versions | 16:22 |

| geirha | fireball_: Did it happen after you uninstalled a certain package perhaps? | 16:23 |
| Coin_ | jrib, but I think (hope) it will be ok now | 16:23 |
| fireball_ | probably :( | 16:23 |
| geirha | fireball_: Try installing the package "ubuntu-desktop" | 16:23 |

| meteor`` | i want to paste a file in usr/shares/amsn/plugins BUt i cant. | 16:24 |
| agussman | I tried commenting out send host-name "<hostname>"; in /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf and restarting networking, but that didn't work | 16:24 |
| meteor`` | It says.. Im not allowed to do that? | 16:24 |
| jrib | Coin_: I'd create my own custom live dvd with the main software I really needed as a backup | 16:24 |
| meteor`` | and when I saw its properties. | 16:24 |
| meteor`` | IT says.. you cant change.. you are not the ROOT. | 16:24 |
| meteor`` | what can i do? | 16:24 |
| oldude67 | meteor``, try using sudo first | 16:24 |
| Paavi2_0 | !sudo | meteor`` | 16:24 |
| ubottu | meteor``: 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) | 16:24 |
| Evet | I installed kde, But my desktop is still gnome-netbook style. How can change it to ordinary desktop? | 16:25 |
| meteor`` | Im using it through GUI. | 16:26 |
| meteor`` | And it just dont show the PASTE button. | 16:26 |
| Paavi2_0 | Evet: choose gnome at login and make it the default, when the prompt asks you whether or not you want to use it as such in the future | 16:26 |
| Kuntra | I see that my system is restarting sometimes, (and I haven't asked for it). Is it possible to see what caused it to restart? | 16:26 |
| ojii | is there any way to have the 'workspaces' split over multiple displays? | 16:26 |

| benno_fra_dk | Has anyone here succesfully made a vista -> ubuntu samba connection? | 16:27 |
| jrib | masquerade|dev: don't run gnome-panel? | 16:27 |
| jrib | kosz: /etc/apache2/apache*.conf | 16:27 |
| meteor`` | i have not made any pother user :/ | 16:27 |

| wubrgamer | hello | 16:28 |
| fireball_ | geirha: it's their on the other profiles, it's go to be somethingsimple ? | 16:28 |
| geirha | fireball_: Did it install something, or just say ubuntu-desktop is up to date? | 16:28 |
| jrib | masquerade|dev: not sure as I'm not gnome right now but check System -> Preferences -> Session | 16:28 |
| Coin_ | jrib: I do not know precisely what softwares they need where I am going... And as there are no internet connection there, I will go with an entire mirror on a hard drive. A dvd has not enough filesystem space. | 16:28 |
| fireball_ | it was already installed, i just re-installed it | 16:28 |
| jrib | Coin_: I see. Still I'd be scared to go without backups | 16:29 |
| masquerade|dev | jrib, gnome-panel is not present there | 16:29 |
| jrib | masquerade|dev: don't know then | 16:29 |
| geirha | fireball_: Hm. See if there's any error output from nautilus in ~/.xsession-errors | 16:29 |
| mike789 | hey | 16:29 |
| masquerade|dev | hm, too bad | 16:29 |

| lstarnes | crunchbang666: it depends on what is in the fike | 16:36 |
| grawity | crunchbang666: Usually you unzip them, then look for a file "README" or "INSTALL", then open that file with a text editor and read it. | 16:36 |
| lstarnes | *file | 16:36 |
| sebsebseb | crunchbang666: linux packages coming as .zip hmmm ,but you would extract them | 16:36 |
| fabian_ | jeah i double checked that | 16:36 |

| detrix | sebsebseb: I finaly got my resolutions back... | 16:37 |

| rave | hi there i m not able to play vedio from cd or dvd in my system player freezes | 16:43 |
| PhotoJim | dreamborn: 32-bit Ubuntu maxes out at a little under 4 gigs without trickery. you need 64-bit if you have more than 4 gigs of RAM and a 64-bit CPU. | 16:43 |

| dreamborn | photojim will there be any complications running 64-bit ubuntu like compatability issues like windows has? | 16:44 |
| fabian_ | rave: try another player | 16:44 |
| crunchbang666 | grawity: ok i have it all up in terminal unzipped | 16:44 |
| grawity | PhotoJim: Windows supports PAE, and the 4 GB is just an artificial cap. (Mostly compatibility reasons, but also a little marketing.) As for Ubuntu, I heard only the server kernel has it? | 16:44 |

| oldude67 | dare, it keeps the system settings. | 16:45 |
| kdub | grawity: the bigmem kernel has that compiled in | 16:45 |
| grawity | crunchbang666: Simply 'unzip' | 16:45 |
| grawity | kdub: But not the default one? | 16:45 |
| kdub | not the default | 16:45 |
| grawity | PhotoJim: I heard some apps just crash with >4 GB | 16:46 |
| kosz | thanks again Pici | 16:46 |
| dreamborn | will there be any complications running 64-bit ubuntu like compatability issues like windows has? | 16:46 |
| PhotoJim | grawity: you're probably exceeding my knowledge now :) but I haven't heard of that being an issue with 64-bit operating systems. can't comment on the trickery used to use higher amounts of RAM on 32-bit OSes. | 16:46 |

| falco_ | Hey guys, how do I change which icons are on desktop? I.E. I don't want the mounted locations to be shown on my desktop. | 16:47 |
| crunchbang666 | grawity: unzip just lists the contents of the zip file in the terminal, how do i move them to a folder? :/ | 16:47 |
| dare | dreamborn, i don't recommend it unless necessary | 16:47 |
| grawity | PhotoJim: I mean, it doesn't matter if it's WIndows 32-bit or 64-bit. | 16:47 |

| web5|org|ua | HOW to get info about file ? | 16:51 |
| grawity | PhotoJim: Mostly because it's open - everybody can report bugs and stuff. Microsoft had a contact/bug report form once, but they were receiving too much "IT DOESN'T WORK" complaints, death threats, etc... (well, low signal/noise ratio) | 16:51 |
| PhotoJim | grawity: unquestionably open source works well, as long as you can motivate enough people to do development, and that doesn't seem to be an issue. | 16:52 |

| fahadsadah | Unless you've modified anything else, /home should do. | 17:24 |
| fahadsadah | bahh: ~/.mozilla, IIRC. | 17:25 |
| cellofellow | bahh: /etc might be a good one to backup too | 17:25 |
| grawity | ~/.gnupg | 17:25 |
| RednkJedi | I'm pulling my hair out here. Does anyone know about issues with USB mice and Ubuntu 8.04? | 17:25 |
| bahh | then once reinstalled what should I do? | 17:26 |
| donnybrasco | Is there any reason I would want to run a previous release of Ubuntu, rather than Jaunty? | 17:26 |
| bahh | fahadsadah: what about my email messages from evolution? | 17:26 |
| jrib | !lts | donnybrasco | 17:27 |
| ubottu | donnybrasco: 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 | 17:27 |
| mechtech | Avast found a virus on my Ubuntu jaunty system: Win32:Adloader-AC...help please! | 17:27 |
| cellofellow | donnybrasco: If you don't like updating every six months, instead preferring a two-year cycle, stick to the LTS releases like Hardy. Otherwise, use Jaunty. | 17:27 |
| RednkJedi | I've got it installed on a generic Dell desktop computer, and the USB mouse keeps freezing up, like it is losing connectivity. I've tried several mice, all with the same result. So I have to reboot my system every five minutes. Anyone have a clue? | 17:27 |
| majnoon | ok how keep from getting mouses mixed up ?? (got 3 on my desktop now) | 17:27 |
| Lin_ | Hi there all!! I wish to know: 1. if kernel-ppa images (2.6.31 to be more exact) contains backports-modules. 2. and, if dont where can I find the patch to apply them to kernel-ppa 2.6.31 sources? | 17:28 |
| dare | did you have problem under windows RednkJedi? | 17:28 |
| jrib | majnoon: put two of them away? | 17:28 |
| RednkJedi | No, I didn't have the problem under windows. | 17:28 |
| majnoon | running 3 computers | 17:28 |
| RednkJedi | And I've had the problem with two versions of Ubuntu now | 17:28 |
| donnybrasco | so does that mean that Hardy may run better on my system, considering that it's the current LTS version? | 17:29 |
| cellofellow | RednkJedi: might be your USB chipset. What chipset is it? | 17:29 |
| cellofellow | RednkJedi: lspci to find out. | 17:29 |
| dare | okay, I asked because some dell desktops are known to have buggy support for usb mice (they only work in certain usb ports) | 17:29 |
| jrib | majnoon: use a kvm switch and put two of them away? | 17:29 |
| bahh | fahadsadah: anything else important to save? | 17:29 |
| nexsja | bahh, you have to copy the contents of firefoxes profile folder, and then just replace them (after reinstall) | 17:29 |
| majnoon | the extra mouses and keyboards CHEAPER :) | 17:29 |
| * LordLandon chews on fahadsadah | 17:29 | |
| donnybrasco | !lts | 17:29 |
| 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 | 17:29 |
| RednkJedi | No clue cello - not sure how to find out under Linux - it's been ten years since I've done anything serious, just getting back into the game. It is a Samba server, but i'm trying to add some other stuff, so I need the mouse. :) | 17:30 |
| nexsja | !trl | 17:30 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about trl | 17:30 |
| bahh | nexsja: ok... I just need to find those folders | 17:30 |
| jrib | majnoon: sounds annoying I get confused enough with a laptop near my desktop | 17:30 |
| majnoon | 2 desktops and 1 laptop | 17:30 |
| mechtech | jrib: know anything about viruses? | 17:31 |
| nexsja | bahh, for firefox it's ~/.mozilla/firefox/xxxxxx.default where xxxx -random letters and numbers | 17:31 |
| jrib | mechtech: no | 17:31 |
| nexsja | bahh, for evolution i dunno, i prefer thunderbird | 17:31 |
| dare | oh that's interesting.. my problem with being unable to see files/directories on an ntfs partition created under ubuntu in windows only applies to xp, i can see them under win7 | 17:31 |
| MircoPaperino | My ubuntu 9.04 crashes with apparently no particular reasons, it randomly happens, the only thing i can do is to move the cursor on the screen | 17:31 |
| === ubuntu_ is now known as wipeout140 | ||
| bahh | nexsja: k I use both.... but how can I find my messages? I have no previous backup of them | 17:31 |
| nexsja | MircoPaperino, did you try running it in safe mode and see what happens? | 17:31 |
| mechtech | any help for viruses? | 17:32 |
| purplenotion | got this while doing an update: E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. | 17:32 |
| purplenotion | E: _cache->open() failed, please report. | 17:32 |
| brotkasten | hi, what's the best way to install versions of software that are currently not in the repository? Is there something like debian testing for bleeding edge packages? What's a good way to do it? Manually? Are there special sources (I'm running 9.04)? | 17:32 |
| purplenotion | what does it mean? | 17:32 |
| MircoPaperino | yes nexsja it crashes in safe mode too | 17:32 |
| nexsja | bahh, afaik Evolution offers you to back up all your data, at least i got that from starting it up right now and it offered me to restore everything. So... I guess just search around Evolution itself :> | 17:33 |
| nexsja | MircoPaperino, For i'd be easier just to reinstall :> | 17:33 |
| nexsja | MircoPaperino, it's only takes _reinstall-time_ + 10 minutes :> or so | 17:33 |
| mechtech | jrib: how to remove a directory and all of its contents using command-line? | 17:33 |
| bahh | nexsja: ok but right now I can't access my installation. I'm on livecd. That's the problem. I had a grub error 18 so I decided to reformat | 17:33 |
| jrib | mechtech: rm -rf | 17:34 |
| jrib | !cli > mechtech | 17:34 |
| ubottu | mechtech, please see my private message | 17:34 |
| dare | borkasten, just ./configure if neccessary, make and make install.. | 17:34 |
| brotkasten | ups | 17:34 |
| nexsja | bahh, okay, wait a second, i'll see what i can find :> | 17:34 |
| dare | brotkasten, install from source | 17:34 |
| nexsja | bahh, http://embraceubuntu.com/2005/12/03/how-to-backup-evolution/ might this be helpful? | 17:35 |
| brotkasten | dare: sorry never did that (i'm relativle new to ubuntu) ... that means get the source code and compile it myself or is there a ubuntu way to do it? | 17:35 |
| MrGeek | test | 17:35 |
| dare | yes, just follow the commands in INSTALL | 17:36 |
| MrGeek | hi | 17:36 |
| majnoon | got to admit the mouse thing is SORTA on topic | 17:36 |
| jrib | majnoon: not really... | 17:37 |
| majnoon | i said SORTA | 17:37 |
| jrib | majnoon: I said "not really..." :) | 17:37 |
| brotkasten | dare: sorry, yes, compile it myself or yes, there's an ubuntu way? | 17:38 |
| majnoon | (but not just linux one ) | 17:38 |
| dare | no, just compile it | 17:38 |
| brotkasten | dare: ok thanks | 17:38 |
| bahh | nexsja: it is helpful. I'm gonna try it asap | 17:38 |
| majnoon | maybe go see what #windows says | 17:38 |
| bahh | nexsja: Any other things to backup in you opinion? | 17:38 |
| majnoon | i AM bored :) | 17:38 |
| nexsja | bahh, I'd suggest splitting your hdd into partitions and creating a mount point under /home | 17:39 |
| nexsja | so you won't have to worry about backup before reinstalling | 17:39 |
| bahh | nexsja: yeah I will do it | 17:39 |
| bahh | nexsja: I will create 4 partitions: /boot for grub, swap, / and /home | 17:40 |
| nexsja | bahh, why do you need one for grub? | 17:40 |
| bahh | nexsja: because I don't want error 18 to happen again | 17:40 |
| bahh | nexsja: where should I create it? Before the / one? | 17:40 |
| brotkasten | bahh: if you love your data (or just need it) back it up before installing ... especially if you play around with fdisk and partitions | 17:41 |
| nexsja | bahh, um... error 18 sounds terrifying :D | 17:41 |
| nexsja | bahh, afaik the order doesn't matter | 17:41 |
| monostone | hi, has anyone successfully integrated bogofilter with qmail on a per dot qmail file basis? | 17:41 |
| bahh | nexsja: well it is terrible :/ | 17:41 |
| linduxed | ive got a custom PS1 prompt, and the various terminals (xterm, gnome-terminal, urxvt) go back to the beginning of the current line, starting to overwrite what i wrote. any fix to this? | 17:42 |
| bahh | brotkasten: I just need to mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda5 and then resize it with gparted. Do you think that also the other partitions will be affected? | 17:42 |
| Kuifje111 | hello all. I want to install a VNC server on my server, but I dont want it to be running X server on the local server all the time, is it possible to do this? | 17:42 |
| nexsja | bahh, i guess. In any case, i did only 3 mount points. /, /home and swap... There's another one, /var/www that's a bit useless now that i know that i'll be wiped on every reinstall.. so... :> never mind that :> | 17:43 |
| bahh | nexsja: damn do you really think I should backup all the drive? | 17:44 |
| mechtech | jrib: thanks, you have quelled my fears...apparently there is only one known linux-compatible virus...bliss...since I have already uninstalled virtualbox, I am just going to remove the directory and all of its contents since that's where the infection is...thanks again :) | 17:44 |
| nexsja | bahh, nope, not really, just the /home dir where all the configs are | 17:45 |
| sufferer | how come ubuntu comes with 10pt fonts, it's too big!!! | 17:45 |
| jrib | mechtech: k | 17:45 |
| Roland | Any idea why my gigabit realtek ethernet controller works at only 100baseTx? ubuntu 9.04 | 17:45 |
| jrib | sufferer: system -> preferences -> appearance | 17:45 |
| dare | i agree, 9pt should be default | 17:45 |
| Pinco | is it connected to a slower NIC? | 17:45 |
| sufferer | jrib: it should be a bug on gnome bugzilla | 17:45 |
| jrib | sufferer: go for it | 17:46 |
| Roland | Pinco, it's connected to gigabit switch | 17:46 |
| Pinco | how do you notice the speed it operate? | 17:47 |
| Roland | Pinco, because maximum speed is 12MB/sec, mii-tool tells it's 100basetx and gigabit indicator is dim on the switc | 17:48 |
| CamonZ | hi, i'm having a prob trying to ssh to my vps. for some reason i can't initiate a new ssh session, I keep getting a connection refused message. | 17:48 |
| CamonZ | But it hasn't kicked me out of the session i already have open | 17:49 |
| CamonZ | so, where can i look to see why is the connection being refused, already tried looking at /var/log/auth.log and there isn't anything | 17:49 |
| slim_penguin | !admin share | 17:49 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about admin share | 17:50 |
| grawity | CamonZ: How about /var/log/syslog? /etc/hosts.deny? | 17:50 |
| CamonZ | grawity nothing on syslog | 17:50 |
| slim_penguin | !map network drive | 17:50 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 17:50 |
| CamonZ | let me check hosts.deny | 17:50 |
| Pici | !msgthebot | slim_penguin | 17:50 |
| ubottu | slim_penguin: Please investigate with me only with "/msg ubottu Bot" or in #ubuntu-bots. Search for factoids with "/msg ubottu !search factoid". | 17:50 |
| sipior | CamonZ: can you verify that there is an ssh daemon listening on the other end? might be it got turned off after your first login. | 17:50 |
| grawity | CamonZ: Yeah, what sipior said - sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart | 17:51 |
| CamonZ | hosts.deny looks default | 17:51 |
| slim_penguin | i have a windows machine on my home network that i'd like to access. is there an article on how to connect to it and share files between it and my 8.10 laptop? | 17:52 |
| CamonZ | grawity already did that a few mins ago. plus another one of the admins can log in fine | 17:52 |
| CamonZ | so i guess it has something to do with my ip | 17:52 |
| CamonZ | but i haven't been able to find anything related to being blacklisted either by sshd or iptables | 17:53 |
| Matic | ? | 17:53 |
| B3g1nn3r | Hi there ubuntu dudes, can anyone tell me of a graphics editor capable of handling and saving .cbr (corel draw) files? | 17:53 |
| prappl93 | slim_penguin, I believe if you do a "sudo apt-get install samba" then restarted your system, it would work in the Network thing in Places | 17:53 |
| CamonZ | i even started sshd with -ddd to see a full debug trace, my connection attempt isn't even being recorded | 17:53 |
| slim_penguin | prappl93, sweet i'll try it | 17:53 |
| Amnesia | hi, is there anyone familiar with the grub 2 syntaxes over here?> | 17:54 |

| prappl93 | geoff_ if you are wanting to change that command, it is under Window Management and is titled "Hide all normal windows and set focus to the desktop background" | 18:01 |
| jrib | CW|Office: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) | 18:01 |
| Matic | CW|Office, I recommend you use ubuntu-8.4-Hardy LTS, I have installed it in cyber cafes and offices and no complaint! | 18:02 |

| sebsebseb | !lts | CW|Office | 18:06 |
| ubottu | CW|Office: 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 | 18:06 |
| snowrichard | hi | 18:06 |
| jacquesdupontd | prappl93, what do you mean i have double boot with windows yes | 18:06 |
| prappl93 | jacquesdupontd, I would *personally* recommend you run "sudo apt-get install amsn" its a substitute for MSN, very similar to the real thing. | 18:06 |
| CW|Office | ah yes, almost made a mistake thanks sebsebseb | 18:06 |
| hemanth | Pici, done | 18:06 |
| snowrichard | sorry I had 2 copies of xchat running | 18:06 |
| sebsebseb | CW|Office: by the way good idea to check your ISO, to make sure you have a good download | 18:07 |
| sebsebseb | !md5sum | CW|Office | 18:07 |
| ubottu | CW|Office: To verify the integrity of a download, use the md5sum - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM for more | 18:07 |
| sebsebseb | CW|Office: no probs | 18:07 |
| prappl93 | How do I check if my OpenOffice is up to date? | 18:07 |
| justfil | I cant change the time. When I try to change it, nothing happens. | 18:07 |
| CW|Office | ok good, it's downloading | 18:08 |
| VegaStar | Please graphics drivers for Mobile Intel® 915GM/GMS, 910GML Express Chipset Family anyone (Ubuntu 9.04 drivers are too slow) | 18:08 |
| sebsebseb | CW|Office: you don't get a GUI, but I think it's relively easy to use anyway, I haven't used it | 18:08 |
| CW|Office | i'm tired of my 2k server they just seem tired | 18:08 |
| sebsebseb | CW|Office: you also get a Linux kernel that is better for servers | 18:08 |
| graelin | can anyone help with a i/o error using dd? I'm trying to rip an iso from an audio cd using: 'dd=/dev/cdrom1 of=file.iso bs=1024' (w/o quotes) It accesses the drive for a sec or so and spews out an i/o error and status message | 18:08 |
| sebsebseb | CW|Office: yeah most of the Internet is hosted on Linux servers :) | 18:09 |
| prappl93 | CW|Office, changing from Windows to Ubuntu server? Seems like a better idea than running the Windows version... lol | 18:09 |
| CW|Office | and the cost of migrating using a local it company is in excess of 29K | 18:09 |
| MaNU_ | how to download a pdf file using wget? | 18:09 |
| jrib | CW|Office: wow | 18:09 |
| sebsebseb | CW|Office: normalley Debian or I think Redhat, but Ubuntu server will do what you want | 18:09 |
| jrib | MaNU_: you shouldn't have to do anything special: wget url | 18:09 |
| graelin | additionally, after that, I have a constant 1/4 cpu usage, but can't seem to find what is using the process time | 18:10 |
| raulh | good morning everyone, anyone know the webpage for ubuntu supported games? | 18:10 |
| CW|Office | still they want to use 2k8 but i'm really hearing alot of good things about ubuntu server | 18:10 |
| brotkasten | graelin: are you sure it works this way? | 18:10 |
| sipior | graelin: you'll want a bigger block size, and you should use the "count" directive as well. (or just use cdparanoia or the like for ripping the audio, really the best solution) | 18:10 |
| engineer | how can download google earth | 18:10 |
| CW|Office | so i've been using ubuntu at home for the last month and it's been doing everything i need | 18:10 |
| jrib | !medibuntu | engineer | 18:10 |
| ubottu | engineer: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 18:10 |
| MaNU_ | i am trying to download the following url | 18:10 |
| MaNU_ | wget -O output.pdf http://example.com/file.pdf | 18:10 |
| jrib | engineer: enable the medibuntu repositories and use Synaptic | 18:10 |
| MaNU_ | sorry wrong file | 18:10 |
| jrib | MaNU_: what? | 18:10 |
| brotkasten | graelin: why use dd? not something like k3b or another gui tool | 18:10 |
| MaNU_ | http://ipu.nic.in/results/2009/030809/Regular%20&%20Reappear%20Result%20of%20BBA%20(G)%202nd%20Semester%20Batch%20(2004,%2005,%2006,%2007%20&%2008).pdf | 18:10 |
| CW|Office | so i think that the office would benefit, cuz most times they just use it for word processing, spreadsheets etc | 18:11 |
| MaNU_ | i was trying to download following file | 18:11 |
| MaNU_ | bash: syntax error near unexpected token `G' | 18:11 |
| CW|Office | it's just we have a high level of viruses infections that's driving me nutz, i can't stand the downtime | 18:11 |
| graelin | I don't want to rip/encode the content. I want an exact duplicate of the cd to archive. need to rip tyhe iso so I can burn another disc | 18:11 |
| jrib | MaNU_: surround your url in single quotes '' | 18:11 |
| MaNU_ | this is the error i gpt | 18:11 |

| bahh | to make a backup I just need to copy the entire /home folder and the /etc one? | 18:22 |
| bahh | any other thing? | 18:22 |
| raulh | cw:office yeah same here.. | 18:22 |
| CW|Office | :( i got no idea what a backport is | 18:22 |
| raulh | i had to use ndiswrapper ^^ it's included in the cd. | 18:22 |
| CW|Office | i'm relatively new to ubuntu | 18:22 |
| CW|Office | :) but i'm learning | 18:22 |

| bu | CW|Office: google it or look it up on package manager under system admin. | 18:23 |
| sebsebseb | CW|Office: and 9.10 released at the end of October, gets the much faster when it comes to booting Ext4 file system by default, but for full support people have to clean install, since the Ext3 to Ext4 conersion won't be good enough | 18:23 |
| sebsebseb | CW|Office: conversion above | 18:23 |
| raulh | baah, i dont think that will work as a "backup" | 18:23 |
| dio_ | hello people | 18:23 |
| raulh | if you install the same apps, like firefox, it randomizes your profile, so you'd need to adapt it to the new one. | 18:24 |
| CW|Office | so you suggest i go with the 9.04 for desktop? | 18:24 |
| raulh | i'm on 8.xx | 18:24 |
| Besogon | bu, Easer way for you it reinstall ubuntu (because in another hand you would have to learn "How to make Linux boot CD" and search your way to install kernel from live CD to hard disk) | 18:24 |
| raulh | but i suggest you do what you like :), 8.10 is easier to learn the file system. | 18:24 |

| sebsebseb | Pici: yes I know, but does it get anything else that isn't a security update as well? | 18:28 |
| geoff_bo | raulh, you know where i could get help | 18:28 |
| stefg | CW|Office: i agree with sebsebseb ... unless you don't need a newer kernel to suport some hardware you'll want LTS releases for the office... you don't want to upgrade every 6 months, and you don't want to be the guinea pig for new features in an office environment | 18:28 |
| * CW|Office races to download 8.04 :) | 18:28 | |

| raulh | Well, i don't know freenode so i can't help you on finding a room lol. | 18:28 |

| ltcabral | hey i need a package but its only RPM... what should i do? http://www.rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=krb5-devel | 18:32 |
| sebsebseb | CW|Office: may be worth doing a clean install on all the computers, when 10.04 comes out April 2010, since it's the next LTS, plus then Ext4 should be rather reliable in Ubuntu | 18:33 |
| oblenob | stefg: I would do that, but the thing was so cheap there is no model or make name on the product, or even the box | 18:33 |
| stefg | oblenob: see lsusb if you don't know what kind of gamepad you have | 18:33 |
| oblenob | and it seems to be with all joysticks | 18:33 |
| bu | Besogon: am not sure actually what ive removed i deselected a package and by default it removed another attached ones but anyhow i will google it for a bit and if i found any results that worked i will let you know otherwise i will reinstall it... anyways thanks alot | 18:33 |

| magical_walrus | I am having a big problem, every time ubuntu boots it is a white screen | 19:47 |

| magical_walrus | gartral: ATI radeon | 19:48 |
| m0r0n | mastertogo: Are you using Twinview? | 19:48 |
| tpw_rules_ | Drained: i think if hal.dll is corrupt, your win install is hosed, but i believe that it is in C:\ lke cardg00 said | 19:48 |
| mastertogo | m0r0n, Don't think so. What is Twinview? | 19:49 |
| Drained | tpw: "hosed"?? | 19:49 |

| mastertogo | m0r0n, Yeah. It just stopped updating the monitor or something.. i don't know what happened really. | 19:50 |
| Lint | Drained, you should find your windows disk in /media folder | 19:50 |
| m0r0n | mastertogo: Updating what? | 19:50 |
| pepperjack | Drained: something like find /media | grep -i boot.ini perhaps | 19:50 |

| aaroninfidel | pepperjack: yes, but wouldn't I have to type my password each time with my script? | 19:53 |
| Walex | bitplane: considering that 90% of email is dirty spam, I'd say you open it with disgust or annoyance | 19:53 |
| m0r0n | mastertogo: Try this, 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart' | 19:53 |
| bitplane | made a new email in Evolution, attached a zip file, saved it as a .msg, then injected the base64 encoded string in as the message | 19:53 |

| TwoToneSpirit | Walex: checking | 20:02 |
| SEJeff | bitplane, You'll find quickly that tbird is a much better mail client. Tbird 2.x is slow with imap though. If you use tbird 3.0, the imap support and entire app is much faster | 20:02 |
| cardg00 | maybe using dd or something ? | 20:02 |
| cardg00 | or even cat ? | 20:02 |
| Walex | TwoToneSpirit: for the specific application cnsider using 'aptitude' it has amazing filtering abilities. | 20:02 |
| HighLordObsi | tbird is my email client of choice | 20:03 |
| bitplane | SEJeff, I actually mostly use GMail online and only use Evolution to send signed/encrypted emails. I may give thunderbird a try though | 20:03 |

| isabelle | hi there | 20:04 |
| isabelle | I can't print anymore with my S20, use ubuntu 8.04, Have this printer working with a 9.04 hp laptop. Tested with 9.04 on the same desktop, to no avail. | 20:04 |
| sebsebseb | rhpot1991: Cowon sell good stuff, and they have OGG/Vorbis and FLAC support :) | 20:04 |
| TwoToneSpirit | Walex: I'll try to swallow the doc page at some point, but I usually learn better by starting with a few examples and then filling in with the docs. Do yo, for example, know how to sort packages by date installed in aptitude? | 20:05 |
| SEJeff | bitplane, Take a look at using prism for gmail then. It makes gmail seem like a desktop application. I use it for gmail | 20:05 |
| prizren | I get this stupid message JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. | 20:05 |
| Guest76658 | install java with firefox instead | 20:05 |
| magical_walrus | how can i turn off desktop Effects via shell | 20:05 |
| rhpot1991 | sebsebseb: thanks, I'll have a look at what they have to offer | 20:05 |
| HighLordObsi | hmm...lets see if i can find some open source drivers or something for my wireless adapter | 20:05 |
| sebsebseb | rhpot1991: ok :) | 20:06 |
| isabelle | Has anyone experienced problems with the Epson S20 ? | 20:06 |
| sebsebseb | !cups | isabelle | 20:06 |
| ubottu | isabelle: Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows | 20:06 |
| prizren | ! flash | isabelle | 20:07 |
| ubottu | isabelle: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 20:07 |
| isabelle | already asked the cups channel, but there not much people there, and had no answers | 20:07 |
| sebsebseb | isabelle: Lexmark is usaully a problem it seems, Epson not sure about, Dell and HP I think have good Linux support | 20:07 |
| prizren | Package 'flashplugin-installer' is already installed | 20:07 |
| prizren | but it does not work! | 20:07 |
| magical_walrus | Can someone please answer my question? | 20:08 |
| shaun_ | hello dudes | 20:08 |
| sebsebseb | magical_walrus: don't know via the shell, but via the GUI system > preferences > apperance and put none | 20:08 |
| canthus13 | isabelle: Did you check linuxprinting.org? | 20:08 |
| isabelle | The fact is that it was working and it's been 10 days that's its not working anymore | 20:08 |
| shaun_ | anyone know how to setup subversion? | 20:08 |
| pepperjack | isabelle: linuxprinting.org used to be a very useful site. i havent used it in last year or so | 20:08 |
| canthus13 | isabelle: What'd you do 10 days ago? | 20:08 |
| isabelle | nothing, not even an update | 20:09 |
| magical_walrus | sebsebseb: I cannot access the gui | 20:09 |
| isabelle | thats what puzzles me | 20:09 |
| canthus13 | isabelle: odd. | 20:09 |
| prizren | Shaun, yes? for a local user? | 20:09 |
| sebsebseb | isabelle: got another computer around to test the printer on? or Windows on dual boot to test with? | 20:09 |
| prizren | or a server? | 20:09 |
| sebsebseb | magical_walrus: why not? | 20:09 |
| canthus13 | isabelle: Honestly, I just stick with printers known to work perfectly in linux. but I've been using linux long enough that all my hardware has been picked for linux. | 20:09 |
| isabelle | Id tested it with ubuntu 9.04 64 on a laptop. worked fine at first try | 20:10 |
| HighLordObsi | yay! i have an ubuntu proof wireless adapter | 20:10 |
| canthus13 | HighLordObsi: So do I. | 20:10 |
| sebsebseb | isabelle: ok so the printer itself isn't broken | 20:10 |
| magical_walrus | Sebsebseb: desktop effects seems to have chased my | 20:10 |
| canthus13 | HighLordObsi: Actually, mine is OS-proof. | 20:10 |
| magical_walrus | Caused* | 20:10 |
| HighLordObsi | lol | 20:10 |
| isabelle | What debug command could I use to trace the issue ? | 20:10 |
| canthus13 | HighLordObsi: My laptop was recalled due to mobo issues.. but I wasn't aware until the warranty ran out. :P | 20:11 |
| magical_walrus | Caused my installation to give a white screen | 20:11 |
| HighLordObsi | canthus: Nice!!\ | 20:11 |
| Walex | TwoToneSpirit: Double checking I think that 'aptitude' cannot select by installation date/time. I wonder what can. | 20:11 |
| magical_walrus | I need to turn off desktop effects via shell | 20:11 |
| nikolaj_basher | hi! Is there anyone who has soundblaster (laptop) where it's working! | 20:11 |
| sebsebseb | magical_walrus: did you install graphics card driver recently? | 20:11 |
| canthus13 | HighLordObsi: hence, I have a perfectly good minipcie wireless card that does nothing but take up space. | 20:11 |
| shaun_ | hey guys anyone know why my netgear wireless router is able to be used for the wireless, however when i plug my linksys wireless router in, it doesn't find the signal | 20:11 |
| Walex | TwoToneSpirit: checking the DPKG docs it cannot either. | 20:11 |
| shaun_ | and of course using the connect to hidden WTF do i do? xD | 20:12 |
| Raenr | Okay HUGE problem with Ubuntu, I installed 9.04, did my updates, then activated my ATI drivers and when I rebooted I have NO GUI | 20:12 |
| canthus13 | shaun_: Bad router? | 20:12 |
| magical_walrus | sebsebseb: Yes, today | 20:12 |
| Raenr | just the commandline | 20:12 |
| canthus13 | shaun_: Or maybe your linksys is set to not broadcast ssid? | 20:12 |
| Raenr | my Ubuntu doesn't load the desktop anymore | 20:12 |
| HighLordObsi | i have a belkin and apparently they are windows nazis | 20:12 |
| sebsebseb | magical_walrus: which graphics card? | 20:12 |
| shaun_ | not bad router | 20:12 |
| canthus13 | HighLordObsi: Belkin stinks. | 20:12 |
| shaun_ | linksys router cost me a arm and leg | 20:12 |
| pepperjack | shaun_: id login to the router using a wired connection and check broadcast ssid and stuff. | 20:12 |
| sebsebseb | Raenr: ATI drivers from where? | 20:12 |
| HighLordObsi | i didn't buy it...my wife did | 20:12 |
| Raenr | I use 2x ATI 3870 | 20:12 |
| magical_walrus | Sebsebseb: radeon I believe | 20:13 |
| shaun_ | so it needs to broadcast ssid? | 20:13 |
| pepperjack | shaun_: there should also be a small reset button you can hold it to take back to factory default | 20:13 |
| sebsebseb | HighLordObsi: have you tried ndiswrapper ? | 20:13 |
| shaun_ | *thinks wtf you're on about* | 20:13 |
| canthus13 | HighLordObsi: We regularly toss belkin routers off our network due them liking to suddenly start tossing out thosands of DHCP requests an hour. | 20:13 |
| bahh | fdisk says | 20:13 |
| bahh | Re-reading the partition table failed with error 16: Device or resource is busy | 20:13 |
| canthus13 | shaun_: Yes. | 20:13 |
| sebsebseb | !language | shaun_ | 20:13 |
| ubottu | shaun_: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 20:13 |
| magical_walrus | Im having a very similar problem to Raenr | 20:13 |
| shaun_ | ahh sorry dudes | 20:13 |
| Raenr | Yar | 20:13 |
| shaun_ | yarrr | 20:13 |
| mikefletcher85 | i ran this command from terminal (ubuntu 9.04) and got a blank document, is that normal? "sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst" | 20:13 |
| ejv | Flloder001 tried to DCC me a file or virus, who should I notify? | 20:13 |
| shaun_ | i'll look into the ssid broadcasting stuffs | 20:13 |
| ejv | (withoug my warning) | 20:13 |
| shaun_ | ty guys | 20:13 |
| sebsebseb | magical_walrus Raenr both of you do the recovery mode from Grub the bootloader and do an xfix, that should take care of your issue I think | 20:14 |
| Raenr | ATI Radeon 3870 Crossfired, when I activated drivers and rebooted it won't load the gui/desktop | 20:14 |
| canthus13 | shaun_: It's usually in the main wireless setup page on the router. | 20:14 |
| ejv | (without my approval*) | 20:14 |
| Raenr | Ha | 20:14 |
| Raenr | I did that already nogo | 20:14 |
| shaun_ | hey! it worked though with windows | 20:14 |
| TwoToneSpirit | Walex: Well, thank you. I am enjoying exploring aptitude nonetheless. The problem is that I installed xubuntu-desktop earlier, and for some reason xfce *CRAWLED*. It was terribly slow. I uninstalled the package, and now gnome is slow as well. xorg is using far more CPU than it ever used to. | 20:14 |
| yaris123456789 | what is a good command line emule client that lets me search KAD and dl stuff.....also a good torrent client for command line ? | 20:14 |
| Raenr | xfix doesn't work at all | 20:14 |
| Raenr | same problem over and over | 20:14 |
| magical_walrus | Xfix did not help | 20:14 |
| nannes1 | hi guys! I've a question | 20:14 |
| nannes1 | Why does pidgin add '1' at the end of my username??? | 20:14 |
| HighLordObsi | i'm not too worried about it, I'm only trying out different linux builds...I build pc's for pofolk who can't afford one of their own...and to avoid win prollems i'm thinking about preloading it with linux instead | 20:14 |
| bahh | fdisk says when tape w: Re-reading the partition table failed with error 16: Device or resource | 20:14 |
| canthus13 | shaun_: Ok... Have you tried manually inputting the SSID? | 20:14 |
| Walex | TwoToneSpirit: looks like that the driver was changed to VESA maybe. | 20:14 |
| nikolaj_basher | can it be true that no one has soundblaster pro? | 20:14 |
| sebsebseb | Raenr magical_walrus your both ATI? | 20:15 |
| nannes1 | hi guys! I've a question | 20:15 |
| nannes1 | Why does pidgin add '1' at the end of my username??? | 20:15 |
| nannes1 | In my client I view 'nannes', the others told me my name results 'nannes1' | 20:15 |
| shaun_ | yeah, it failed epicly | 20:15 |
| Raenr | yes | 20:15 |
| shaun_ | even tried with the mac address too | 20:15 |
| shaun_ | again, failed | 20:15 |
| magical_walrus | Mhm | 20:15 |
| HighLordObsi | i have realtek ac97...used to have sbpro....but i threw that pc out my window | 20:15 |
| canthus13 | shaun_: try renaming the router? | 20:15 |
| sebsebseb | magical_walrus: Nivida? ATI? Intel? what card you got? | 20:15 |
| Raenr | one card id ATI Radeon the other one is a sapphire, both 3870's | 20:15 |
| pepperjack | nannes1: /whois nannes <--- that dude is using your name ;) | 20:15 |
| sebsebseb | !ati | Raenr | 20:16 |
| ubottu | Raenr: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 20:16 |
| TwoToneSpirit | Walex: I don't know what that means. I remember VESA from DOS days, but I don't understand how it applies here. How can I check to see if this is the case and if so, reverse it? | 20:16 |
| magical_walrus | Ati radeon 2200 | 20:16 |
| shaun_ | not tried renaming the router | 20:16 |
| * canthus13 has occasionally also seen routers and wireless cards that just flat-out refused to talk to each other. | 20:16 | |
| sebsebseb | Raenr: have you been on that link before? | 20:16 |
| sebsebseb | !ati | magical_walrus | 20:16 |
| ubottu | magical_walrus: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 20:16 |
| sebsebseb | magical_walrus: same question for you, have you been on that page before | 20:16 |
| magical_walrus | No | 20:16 |
| mikefletcher85 | i ran this command from terminal (ubuntu 9.04) and got a blank document, is that normal? "sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst" | 20:16 |
| shaun_ | hey this ubuntu rocks though, well done guys | 20:16 |
| shaun_ | love the gui, totally rocks | 20:17 |
| Slart | !gksudo | mikefletcher85 | 20:17 |
| ubottu | mikefletcher85: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 20:17 |
| canthus13 | shaun_: Good to hear. | 20:17 |
| Raenr | kay im checking the link | 20:17 |
| Raenr | can the fixes from the link be done from command line? | 20:17 |
| sebsebseb | magical_walrus Raenr if you don't install graphic card drivers in the recommended way things can go wrong | 20:17 |
| nannes1 | pepperjack: yes, but you all view nannes1 !!! I want nannes!!! | 20:17 |
| Slart | mikefletcher85: but no.. not normal afaik | 20:17 |
| HighLordObsi | I love ubuntu also...gonna try out a few other distros though...to see which one would be better for idiots like me lol | 20:17 |

| pepperjack | mikefletcher85: id recommend gksudo for gui stuff rather than sudo but gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst should normally work assuming you are using grub as your boot loader | 20:17 |
| Slart | mikefletcher85: are you sure you typed it correctly? /boot and /Boot isn't the same in linux | 20:17 |
| sebsebseb | nikolaj_basher: uh? | 20:17 |
| magical_walrus | sebsebseb: So how can I fix this? | 20:18 |
| nannes1 | pepperjack: yes, but you all view nannes1 !!! I want nannes!!! | 20:18 |
| sebsebseb | magical_walrus: don't know | 20:18 |
| pepperjack | nannes1: you have to register your name. if someone has already registered nannes youre out of luck. | 20:18 |
| nikolaj_basher | my bad, but this was the specifications on my soundcard | 20:18 |
| mikefletcher85 | slart, yea i always type in lowercase | 20:19 |
| Raenr | sebsebseb do you know if I can fix this without having to do a reinstall? | 20:19 |
| sebsebseb | nikolaj_basher: I assume you wanted to give that to me, but why? also you put sebastien | 20:19 |
| HighLordObsi | my father in law stupidly bought a belkin router too...it cuts out every few minutes...evil man | 20:19 |
| Slart | mikefletcher85: and you're using grub? not lilo or some other boot loader? | 20:19 |
| sebsebseb | Raenr: yep probably, but I don't know how | 20:19 |
| pepperjack | !register nannes1 | 20:19 |

| arber4444 | hello i need a help does anyone knows how to turn off shutdown voice of startup voice | 20:20 |
| canthus13 | shaun_: Depends. You want GUI or terminal? | 20:20 |
| Slart | mikefletcher85: then it's very odd.. not really sure why it would be like that.. | 20:20 |
| shaun_ | good gui | 20:20 |
| TwoToneSpirit | How can I return only parts of lines in the CLI? (ie, eliminate the first n characters of each line in output) | 20:20 |
| nannes1 | pepperjack: ok, but register command is -->/msg nickserv register <password> <email > | 20:20 |
| nannes1 | so is normal that the server use 'nannes1' because is the nick I have NOW !! :'( | 20:20 |
| canthus13 | shaun_: gedit or scite work well in the gui. | 20:20 |
| magical_walrus | I'm strongly considering switchig o intrepid | 20:20 |
| HighLordObsi | i tried to tell him to get a linksys or a netgear, but he went cheap | 20:20 |

| dprostran | My desktop has windows that stretch in a really excitable manner, and my workspace switcher doesn't switch with the mouse wheel, and windows don't "dock" to each other. What's going on? | 20:21 |
| nikolaj_basher | sebsebseb, because I miss understod it all sorry | 20:21 |
| pepperjack | nannes1: youll need to do /nick newnickname or something. try something respectable like pepperjack ;p | 20:21 |
| sebsebseb | magical_walrus: why? | 20:21 |
| canthus13 | shaun_: But there are dozens of different editors available. dig around in the repos and see what you like. | 20:21 |
| arber4444 | hello i need a help does anyone knows how to turn off shutdown voice of startup voice | 20:21 |
| sebsebseb | magical_walrus: ,but yes it may work better with your card | 20:21 |
| HighLordObsi | any ideas as to why i have no sound? | 20:21 |
| pepperjack | arber4444: im not sure if that is in gdmsetup but you could try 'gksudo gdmsetup' from a terminal | 20:21 |
| mikefletcher85 | slart, omg... im an idiot... i was typing menu.list.. not menu.lst | 20:22 |
| luis_ | como ingreso a esos canales | 20:22 |
| sebsebseb | magical_walrus: it will stop being supported on the desktop next April though, but oh well 9.10 is out at the end of October, with default Ext4 support :) for those that clean install (and don't optionally select some other file system that isn't Ext4) | 20:22 |
| canthus13 | HighLordObsi: Lots of ideas. Is it all sound, or certain sounds? | 20:22 |
| nikolaj_basher | HighLordObsi, what soundcard do you have? | 20:22 |
| pepperjack | arber4444: otherwise it would be under sounds or something in the menu sorry i dont know gnome well | 20:22 |
| lstarnes | luis_: /join #ubuntu-es | 20:22 |
| Raenr | alrighty rebooting | 20:22 |
| HighLordObsi | realtek ac'97 onboard sound...only sound i get is the logon ping | 20:22 |
| canthus13 | HighLordObsi: And was it working before, or has it never worked? | 20:22 |
| sebsebseb | magical_walrus: clean installing is the only way to get full support | 20:22 |
| HighLordObsi | never in ubuntu | 20:22 |
| pepperjack | !sound | HighLordObsi | 20:22 |
| ubottu | HighLordObsi: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 20:22 |
| sebsebseb | magical_walrus: I read something about having fixes for the Intel cards, so maybe your as well | 20:23 |

| === nannes1 is now known as nannes | ||

| HighLordObsi | cool...thanks much | 20:23 |
| magical_walrus | Raenr what did you do? | 20:23 |

| HighLordObsi | yeah | 20:23 |
| cardg00 | how do you list all the mounted volumes on linux? | 20:23 |

| Zumbolt | hello, how is it possible to upgrade gnumeric to latest version in jaunty? Is only way to compile dependancies (lot) and gnumeric? Is there any easier solution? | 20:35 |
| bahh | sebsebseb: omg but it can't see the drive | 20:35 |
| Kingsy101 | pepperjack - it does the same thing when I click on check CD | 20:35 |
| bahh | sebsebseb: that's the point | 20:35 |
| sebsebseb | bahh: sure | 20:35 |
| sebsebseb | bahh: and I think I know why | 20:35 |
| lstarnes | Um_cara_qualquer: it's a windows game, so you would need to run the windows version through wine or cedega | 20:35 |

| Alvinware | Is it a bad thing to forward any ports? | 20:35 |
| sebsebseb | bahh: will it show any partitions in gparted? no? | 20:36 |
| bahh | sebsebseb: no | 20:36 |
| lstarnes | blognewb: 8.04 is an LTS release, but 9.04 may have newer packages | 20:36 |
| sebsebseb | bahh: you can tell it to make a new partition table there though I expect. you don't have any data on there to backup? | 20:36 |
| bahh | sebsebseb: just 250 gigs unallocated | 20:36 |
| blognewb | lstarnes: why did they not put 9.04 as LTS? :( so what's your preference, for a noob boob likke me? | 20:36 |
| Alvinware | sebsebseb, Would forwarding any ports in Ubuntu affect/reduce it security? | 20:37 |
| lstarnes | blognewb: it's not an LTS | 20:37 |
| bahh | sebsebseb: I have smt like 200 gigs of data on here which I don't wanna loose | 20:37 |
| lstarnes | blognewb: LTS releases are only made every 2 years approximately | 20:37 |
| Kingsy101 | can anyone help? I literally cant get it to boot using anything, anything I click from the menu brings up a Loading, Please Wait.... | 20:37 |
| Lint | Is there some _normal_ Ubuntu installer (with package selector and not trying to format /) available? | 20:37 |
| pepperjack | f3ar007: i dont know much about samba. normally when mounting fat partitions i specify a umask like mount -o umask=000 /dev/blah /mnt/blah so that normal users can write to it | 20:37 |
| blognewb | oh | 20:37 |
| sebsebseb | lstarnes: you seem experienced, will you look at bahh 's weird partition set up as well please, if he pastebins the file? | 20:37 |
| Pici | blognewb: LTSes are every two years. Each release number is the year and month is was released, so 9.04 = 2009 april | 20:37 |
| Kingsy101 | actually thats a lie.. Memtest86+ works | 20:37 |
| blognewb | Pici: so did you upgrade to 9.04? | 20:37 |
| Alvinware | sebsebseb? | 20:38 |
| sebsebseb | bahh: great well you may have lost it already | 20:38 |
| Pici | blognewb: Yes. | 20:38 |
| lstarnes | sebsebseb: I know very little about partitioning | 20:38 |
| Kingsy101 | pepperjack - any ideas? | 20:38 |
| blognewb | Pici: what do you suggest for a newb like me? same? i guess? | 20:38 |
| bahh | sebsebseb: are you kidding? | 20:38 |
| sebsebseb | bahh: well if partitions get deleted or whatever, the data is still there kind of | 20:38 |
| Pici | blognewb: I think you'll be happier in the long run win 9.04 | 20:38 |
| blognewb | i heard some intel/nvidia hardware issues with ubuntu 9 slow graphics | 20:38 |
| sebsebseb | bahh: you need a program like test disk to gain access to the deleted partition | 20:38 |
| blognewb | is that true | 20:38 |
| pepperjack | Kingsy101: seems like a bad cd. did you burn this at the slowest possible speed? id try a new cd man sorry | 20:38 |
| Alvinware | sebsebseb, Would forwarding any ports affect/redure it security? | 20:38 |
| sebsebseb | Alvinware: ports such as? | 20:39 |
| sebsebseb | Alvinware: ports to be used for what? | 20:39 |
| bahh | sebsebseb: I can mount the win partitions and all the datas are there | 20:39 |
| Kingsy101 | pepperjack - its not a bad CD cos I have installed ubuntu once already with it | 20:39 |
| Alvinware | sebsebseb, amule, and torrrent. | 20:39 |
| pepperjack | Kingsy101: or maybe a crappy old cdrom drive | 20:39 |
| Pici | blognewb: Yes, there are some issues with intel video drivers in 9.04 | 20:39 |
| Kingsy101 | hmm it shouldnt be | 20:39 |
| sebsebseb | Alvinware: ports in your router? | 20:39 |

| sebsebseb | Alvinware: having ports open, can reduce security sure, but I think usaully it's ok | 20:40 |
| sebsebseb | Alvinware: well in Ubuntu anyway | 20:40 |
| bahh | any idea? | 20:41 |
| pepperjack | Kingsy101: could also be something as simple as a dirty cd ;) | 20:41 |
| Kingsy101 | pepperjack - thanks I will try that | 20:41 |

| aaroninfidel | when I try to mount via SSHFS it works, but then when I try to access the volume it says access denied, any idea why this might be? | 20:43 |
| sebsebseb | bahh: does autocad work in Wine or virtual machine hmm | 20:43 |
| pepperjack | Kingsy101: it is usually more obvious than that. could be | 20:44 |
| Alvinware | sebsebseb, How to fix the cannot allocate memory error, when my pidgin were auto closed by itself, sometimes, and sometimes repeatedly? | 20:44 |

| jtholt1 | I want to make a livecd usb stick so I extracted the iso to the usb installed syslinux and renamed the directory and files now when I boot the usb stick the usb (/dev/sdb1) is mounted as /cdrom why is this and can I fix it? | 20:44 |
| fumblnoob | bahh: if that's the only copy you have of that data and it means anything to you I suggest you back it up. | 20:44 |
| Dark_Wolf | I'm repeating this because it's likely that nobody remembers what it said at this point: I have a Dell Inspiron 1100 with Intel integrated graphics, and it refuses to show any graphics when I booth. I've tried changing the boot options to nosplash and vga=1, and it works sometimes, but not without an external monitor. Any help? I'm on 9.04 | 20:44 |
| sebsebseb | Alvinware: I think that means your running out of space on your Ubuntu partition or have run out | 20:44 |
| Kingsy101 | pepperjack - hmmmm | 20:45 |
| Kingsy101 | pepperjack - I don't think i have it then | 20:45 |
| bahh | fumblnoob: I'll get an hd soon | 20:45 |
| HighLordObsi | hmm...codecs not available for my pc type... | 20:45 |
| sebsebseb | mrwes: solaris swap etc | 20:45 |
| jtholt1 | I want to make a livecd usb stick so I extracted the iso to the usb installed syslinux and renamed the directory and files now when I boot the usb stick the usb (/dev/sdb1) is mounted as /cdrom why is this and can I fix it? | 20:45 |
| bahh | so there are no other ways than format? | 20:45 |
| mikefletcher85 | gosh i hope this is the last time i have to bother you guys here... anyone have experiance with EasyBCD? I have windows 7, windows xp and Ubuntu 9.04 installed. I disabled grub and am using the vista loader. i copied the menu.lst file into EasyBCD under a NeoGrub entry. but when i try to boot it i get "file not found" i think it was error 17 | 20:45 |
| pepperjack | Kingsy101: yeah my lappy for instance cant boot usb.. only thing i can recommend is to test the cd in another PC | 20:45 |
| mrwes | sebsebseb, uh? | 20:45 |
| Alvinware | sebsebseb, I don't think so, because i can see in my system monitor that i'm only 30% of my hd, and over 300mb of ram only. | 20:46 |
| sebsebseb | bahh: : the stuff you pm'd last time I saw something like that, was when I tried to do archlinux in a vm, and was making partitions in cfdisk or whatever it's called | 20:46 |
| pepperjack | Dark_Wolf: could be maybe just the resolution is out of range of the lcd? is this a fairly old laptop? like 1024x768 res? | 20:46 |
| aaroninfidel | mrwes dreamhost, its my shared web server. | 20:46 |
| sebsebseb | mrwes: pm'd you by mistake not sure why, when meant to have done bahh | 20:46 |
| Dark_Wolf | pepperjack, yes. | 20:46 |
| Alvinware | sebsebseb, What could be the problem, and fix? | 20:46 |
| sebsebseb | mrwes: pm'd uh messaged | 20:46 |
| jtholt1 | I want to make a livecd usb stick so I extracted the iso to the usb installed syslinux and renamed the directory and files now when I boot the usb stick the usb (/dev/sdb1) is mounted as /cdrom why is this and can I fix it? | 20:46 |
| sebsebseb | mrwes: in here | 20:46 |
| enzotib | NarbeH: install wmctrl and use the command wmctrl -l | 20:46 |
| mrwes | shrug | 20:46 |
| Dark_Wolf | pepperjack: 1024x768 is still standard. I don't see why Ubuntu would have the default at anything larger. | 20:47 |
| sebsebseb | bahh: not sure if Ubuntu calls it solaris swap ever, it just seems odd to me | 20:47 |
| bahh | sebsebseb: I dunno... seems strange that there's nothin to do | 20:47 |
| mrwes | aaroninfidel, you are trying to mount a share via sshfs on your computer or what? | 20:47 |
| jtholt1 | can anyone help me | 20:47 |
| HighLordObsi | ahh well... c'est la vie | 20:47 |
| Kingsy101 | pepperjack - and what would you suggest if the CD isnt faulty ? | 20:47 |
| bahh | sebsebseb: it does... it was my old swap partition created with gparted | 20:47 |
| sebsebseb | bahh: and you got all your sda's in order even from 1 to 8, Ubuntu doesn't normalley do that | 20:47 |
| pepperjack | Dark_Wolf: try alt-ctrl-f2 then login then sudo X -congfigure <-- this should generate an xorg.conf file. you can then sudo mv xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf and then when you have that done we can try to asssign a resolution | 20:47 |
| sebsebseb | bahh: normalely Ubuntu skips sda 3 4 and 5 or something | 20:47 |
| jtholt1 | anyone? | 20:48 |

| sebsebseb | bahh: it seems odd though | 20:51 |
| sebsebseb | bahh: or maybe it's ok, it's just it seems odd to me, since I haven't partitioned with commands before | 20:52 |
| sebsebseb | bahh: ,but either way, your Ubuntu partitions won't boot up now | 20:52 |
| bahh | sebsebseb: that's the point... need someone who knows commands | 20:52 |

EVERYTHING else i found, including: fspot, mirage, gpicview (which claims to be super fast, yeah right), yeah even gthumb is slower! is digikam using magic!?!? | 21:06 |
| Dr_Willis | Cube: or a fancy cacheing system | 21:06 |
| TwoToneSpirit | Is there an easy way to "rewind" everything about my system config? Some kind of system restore? | 21:06 |
| thellion | drained, rythembox does | 21:06 |

| pepperjack | Cube: gqview is a slick little viewer. feh is really lightweight but hasnt really an interface | 21:07 |

| Cube | Dr_Willis: well good! so is there a nice app for gnome that can do that? | 21:07 |
| thellion | drained, well it minimizes to top right and can be controled from there | 21:07 |
| Slart | TwoToneSpirit: nothing like system restore.. unless you've set it up yourself | 21:07 |

| Slart | blaz_: yes.. I think clicking the X kills gnome-terminal.. which then does nasty things to bash.. typing exit will make bash exit nicely (including letting processes keep running by assigning new parent processes and such).. then when bash is done gnome-terminal exits | 21:16 |
| Razizsta | @HighLord What is that, obvious | 21:16 |
| Slart | mus: the download script is a pretty simplistic text file.. it runs wget with some urls.. if you download wget for windows and puts that in the same folder as the script it should run on a windows box too | 21:17 |

| Raenir | technically it runs but doesnt do anything | 21:33 |
| Dark_Wolf | jond: WINE has nothing at all, actually. It's used to install and run windows apps on linux. | 21:33 |

| Ooook | uhh I don't believe so | 21:33 |
| Ooook | How would I find that out? | 21:33 |

| Cube | Dark_Wolf: kk | 21:34 |
| cake_baker | i've got a strange problem, couldn't find a solution using Google | 21:34 |
| kykyzachariah | can someone help me install a ppa | 21:34 |
| Ooook | I really tried reinstalling the plugin like 6 times.. | 21:35 |
| Flannel | Cube, Dark_Wolf: gwenview is a KDE program. "gwenview" is for KDE3, gwenview-kde4 is for KDE4. | 21:35 |
| xangua | kykyzachariah: the instructions are in Launchpad web | 21:35 |
| Dark_Wolf | ah | 21:35 |
| cake_baker | does anyone know something about the integrated microphone of Dell XPS M1330 laptop on Xubuntu 9.04 64 bits? | 21:35 |
| Ooook | I eventually got the flash to work but the sound isn't coming out. | 21:35 |
| kykyzachariah | im looking but cant find them | 21:35 |
| kykyzachariah | i know to use apt-get but i dunno what the file name is | 21:35 |
| xangua | jum..................... | 21:35 |
| Flannel | Cube, Dark_Wolf: Installing a KDE program in Gnome isn't the end of the world, you'll just drag in some KDE libraries, so it'll have a little bit more of a RAM cost when running (since you have gnome and KDE libs in memory) | 21:35 |
| hackel | cake_baker, what about it? I believe it's the same as on my 1530... | 21:35 |
| fumblnoob | Ooook: do you have sound with other apps? | 21:35 |
| cake_baker | it just doesn't work | 21:35 |
| cake_baker | i dunno why | 21:35 |
| Ooook | fumblnoob: yeah | 21:36 |
| cake_baker | and it's quite problematic for using Skype .... | 21:36 |
| deany | Cube, installin gwenview installs v4 of it | 21:36 |
| deany | Cube, well it did for me... | 21:36 |
| Kai` | kykyzachariah, sudo apt-cache search <pkg> | 21:36 |
| Cube | Flannel: and the funny thing is, the gwenview with extra-kde libs loaded on gnome is still faster than native gnome apps... | 21:36 |
| xangua | kykyzachariah: sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 12345678 ; replace the numbers with the key or that ppa | 21:36 |
| cake_baker | when i was in 32 bits .... the microphone worked out of box | 21:36 |
| hackel | cake_baker, you have to select it in the mixer. | 21:36 |
| nibbler_ | btw, any suggestion for a nice tex editor in gnome? right now using kile.... | 21:36 |
| hackel | cake_baker, Digital Input Source: Digital Mic 1. | 21:36 |
| cake_baker | i did that | 21:36 |

| Paulos | ok ive just installed vbox ... now where has it installed it too... wheres the folder | 21:37 |
| nibbler_ | efu: check /var/log/syslog | 21:37 |
| Dark_Wolf | Okay, everyone, since pepperjack seems to have died. Can anyone help me fix my graphics? I have a Dell Inspiron 1100 running 9.04 and when I boot, I get nothing but a blank screen after all the text (I have nosplash set). It's okay if I use an external monitor sometimes, but after swtiching to another TTY, the display goes blank again. | 21:37 |
| Dr_Willis | Paulos: it has an icon in apps->acessoris | 21:37 |
| efu | nibbler_, thanks will try that now | 21:37 |
| hackel | cake_baker, are you able to record using Sound Recorder? It may be an issue relating to Skype or Pulseaudio. Running crappy proprietary apps, especially 32-bit ones, is not foolproof. | 21:38 |
| Slart | Paulos: it's probably a little all over the place.. look the application menu.. you don't find virtualbox anywhere? | 21:38 |
| xangua | helper: jum don know, those are the instructions in launchpad :-S | 21:38 |
| Paulos | ok ty Dr | 21:38 |
| xangua | don't* | 21:38 |
| cake_baker | nope can't record any sound on Sound Recorder either hackel | 21:38 |
| Ooook | And I use youtube quite a lot, so this is a big downer. | 21:38 |
| nibbler_ | efu: and for config, right click the icon, edit connections, and add stuff to mobile broadband | 21:38 |
| cake_baker | i've thought about it too >< | 21:38 |
| Cube | deany: kkthx | 21:38 |
| Ooook | :< | 21:38 |
| Paulos | its not in there Dr -_-; | 21:38 |
| Dr_Willis | Paulos: via command line its 'virtualbox' | 21:39 |

| maxxle | Hello! I wonder what is the better way to create an encryptet filesystem. Create the container on device basis /dev/sdx or on partition basis /dev/sdx1? | 21:39 |
| Raenir | can anyone help me with my graphics drivers | 21:39 |
| Ooook | hmm alright | 21:39 |
| dash__ | is there any way to run a chkdsk from ubuntu? as in an actual chkdsk not just ntfsfix? | 21:39 |
| Raenir | the official documentation doesnt work | 21:39 |
| Dr_Willis | dash__: to properly 'fix' a ntfs filesystem - use windows.. | 21:40 |
| hackel | cake_baker, hmm, well in my case it's working fine now, but I have had lots of mixer issues in the past. Usually was able to make it work, though. Input source should be set to mic, "front mic" actually means the mic jack. Make sure capture 1 is toggled for record and turned up, etc... | 21:40 |
| Ooook | fumblnoob, module-alsa-sink.c: Error opening PCM device front:0: Device or resource busy | 21:40 |
| Ooook | is what I keep getting. | 21:40 |
| Ooook | `-`; | 21:40 |
| dash__ | would it be a bad idea to run a recovery console in vmware? | 21:40 |
| nibbler_ | maxxle: as you might want to have an unecrypted /boot, partitions might be useful | 21:40 |
| Ooook | I'm also running XMMS alongside. | 21:40 |
| deany | Cube, personally i`d use acdsee in wine but wine doesnt like the radeon driver, makes it lockup after x amount of time when using graphical apps like that. when I had fglrx support (in 8.10) it was fine.... | 21:40 |
| cake_baker | thanks hackel | 21:40 |
| cake_baker | would it be possible to have pictures of all tabs of your mixer hackel ? | 21:41 |
| Paulos | how do i make myself root -_- i do this su - "username" then it wants password ... but its still asking me to be root when i type the command | 21:41 |
| lstarnes | Paulos: why do you need to make yourself root? | 21:41 |
| dash__ | paulos you have to do sudo su | 21:41 |
| stefg | !root | Paulos | 21:41 |
| ubottu | Paulos: 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 | 21:41 |
| dash__ | to enter a root shell | 21:41 |
| lstarnes | dash__: sudo -i, not sudo su | 21:41 |
| Ooook | fumblnoob, does that possibly mean that I can only have either xmms or youtube playing at the same time? | 21:41 |
| Ooook | once at a time* | 21:41 |
| deany | Cube, lockup as in, needing RSEIUB | 21:41 |
| lstarnes | Paulos: try prefixing the command that requires root with sudo | 21:41 |
| Paulos | lol ubottu | 21:41 |
| Paulos | ok | 21:41 |
| maxxle | nibbler_: I just have a big external USB-HDD with a single partition. I think then /dev/sdX should do the trick | 21:41 |
| Paulos | sudo | 21:41 |
| Cube | deany: hmm i gotcha. | 21:42 |
| fumblnoob | Ooook you should be able to have both, but have you tried one at a time? | 21:42 |
| dash__ | what does one use the DASH shell for? | 21:42 |
| nibbler_ | maxxle: yea, should do then i guess | 21:42 |
| VCoolio | dash__: "sudo shutdown -F -r" reboots and will run fschk if you mean that, see shutdown --help for options | 21:42 |
| lstarnes | dash__: it's used as a lightweight shell | 21:42 |
| dash__ | haha | 21:42 |

| Ooook | >< | 21:44 |
| Draggin | Could someone quickly, in very basic (aka relative noob here) terms, the idea of dependencies in Linux and how exactly it works (and what breaks it, and what happens when it gets broken) | 21:44 |
| tonii | Dark_Wolf: sounds odd. bios work, right? :P | 21:44 |
| nibbler_ | Raenir: are you sure yourcard is supported? some cards support got lost on 9.04 | 21:44 |
| stefg | Dark_Wolf: that's an oldish laptop iirc... i vaguely remember there's a bios option to give 1MB or 8MB to the video .. it's set to1, so set it to 8 in the BIOS | 21:44 |
| Ooook | fumblnoob, any ideas? | 21:44 |
| Dark_Wolf | tonii, yeah., and stefg, I'll try it | 21:44 |
| lstarnes | Draggin: a dependency is a program or a library that is required by another program or library in order to work | 21:44 |
| cake_baker | hackel, is IEC958 Playback source to "Digital Playback"? (knowing i'm using the internal speakers) | 21:44 |
| fumblnoob | Ooook: give me a minute, looking around | 21:45 |
| Raenir | mine is ATI 3870 | 21:45 |
| Draggin | Istarnes, okay... And where are these dependencies defined - how does a programme know what it needs? | 21:45 |

| tonii | Dark_Wolf: ah, it's when Xorg is run that screen blanks out? | 21:45 |
| stefg | Dark_Wolf: and you might need some vga=xxx option in the kernel command line | 21:45 |
| jadenkorn_ | How can I reduce its size? | 21:45 |
| hackel | cake_baker, that's for playback, not recording... | 21:45 |
| lstarnes | Draggin: it asks the operating system to load certain libraries or start certain programs when it runs | 21:45 |
| cake_baker | ok i wasn't sure | 21:45 |
| Dark_Wolf | tonii yeah | 21:45 |
| lstarnes | Draggin: also, the package manager checks a database for that information when installing packages or upgrading them | 21:46 |
| hackel | cake_baker, I use that to play out over the hdmi cable. | 21:46 |
| stefg | tonii: no... not an X issue but framebuffer... old dells have funny video hardware. | 21:46 |
| Draggin | Istarnes, okay... So how do dependencies break? | 21:46 |
| Dark_Wolf | stefg, using vga=1, and I set it to 8MB | 21:46 |
| Slart | jadenkorn_: reiser if very good with small files.. ext4 might be a little less efficient | 21:46 |
| Raenir | where do I check what grpahics cards are supported? | 21:46 |
| tonii | stefg: ah, interesting | 21:46 |
| lstarnes | Draggin: they break when a version of a program or library doesn't work properly with something that requires it | 21:46 |
| stefg | Dark_Wolf: you need something like vga=791 or 753 | 21:46 |
| jadenkorn_ | Slart, I made it reiser4 but I can't mount it... | 21:46 |
| Paulos | i installed vbox , when i try to run it via command line it tells me its not installed , and to install it type the following "apt-get install virtualbox-ose" so i tryed to installed "hence why i wanted to the sudo thingy , its got 90% in and its now saying "no suitable module for running krernal found" , and when i tryed to run it now i get "WARNING: The character device /dev/vboxdrv does not exist. | 21:46 |

| lstarnes | Draggin: sometimes it is caused by have a version that is too old or too new | 21:47 |
| Slart | jadenkorn_: it might be something with a minimum file size... so every file smaller than 8kb still uses 8kb of space.. but I'm just guessing here.. I don't know the mechanics behind either file system | 21:47 |
| Paulos | oops | 21:47 |
| stefg | Dark_Wolf: try vga=0x303 | 21:47 |
| Dark_Wolf | stefg, setting the video to 8MB fixed it, actually. | 21:47 |

| hackel | cake_baker, you should also open the PulseAudio Volume Control and make sure the recording source is set to the right device. | 21:49 |
| fumblnoob | Ooook: Try setting everything in System->Preferences->Sound to ALSA (but take note of what they were before you changed them just in case) | 21:49 |
| lstarnes | Draggin: it should update that automatically | 21:49 |
| JadenKorn | Slart, it says "Cannot mount volume." then below "The volume uses the reiser4 file system which is not supported by your system." | 21:49 |

| cake_baker | hackel, pulseaudio isn't installed ... | 21:50 |
| Slart | JadenKorn: have you searched in synaptic for reiser? perhaps it's a package you have to install? or support for it might have been dropped.. the company behind it has had some problems | 21:50 |

| Lord-Readman | Flannel will it do it in the background? | 21:54 |
| roc | stefg: but can i fix that somehow??? i had ubuntu linpus on this system... that was running fine... | 21:54 |
| dare | Draggin, sure | 21:54 |
| Raenir | maybe lower case j | 21:54 |
| Flannel | Lord-Readman: If you send it to the background | 21:54 |
| garchotron | k Flannel thx | 21:54 |
| lstarnes | mralexandro1: yes, but you will need to add additional irc accounts | 21:54 |
| Raenir | hrrm seems to be doing something more now | 21:54 |
| dare | Draggin, the executable name stays the same with each version | 21:54 |
| Draggin | istarnes - oh :) Just said command line - executed "gimp" and it ran fine | 21:54 |

| dare | nope.. | 21:55 |
| Raenir | kay' now I have a blinky cursor | 21:55 |
| roc | stefg: but how can it be that ubuntu needs more ressources than winxp? and all netbooks have ssd right? so since this is a netbook remix... | 21:55 |
| JadenKorn | Slart, I formatted my 56GB partition to ext4 and it uses 3.1GB now | 21:55 |

| Draggin | Very weird... I thought it may have uninstalled it for some reason, but it's actually been upgraded and definitely there | 21:55 |
| JadenKorn | Slart, should I use xfs instead? | 21:56 |
| stefg | roc: you need some fine tuning... winxp is an 8 year old OS, and linpus was custom tailored. | 21:56 |

| Raenir | apparently professional services costs money | 21:59 |
| daniellockard | mak1: you could do that with crontab i suppose | 21:59 |
| cake_baker | everything is at maximum | 21:59 |
| daniellockard | Raenir: does that file exist, that you're looking for? | 21:59 |

| Draggin | Okay - I have another question, this time on the kernel (which I'm practically completely clueless about). When I upgraded to Intrepid (I'm actually running Ubuntu Studio), there were issues with the nVidia drivers/kernel. I tried reinstalling, downloading from nVidia, etc. but the problem stayed. Then, trying something completely different, I wanted to start up VirtualBox to check something on one of my virtual installations. It complain | 22:02 |

| MarkG | Hi, I have a marvell Sheevaplug with Ubuntu on it, I'm not that familair with the way Ubuntu/Debain does things (more a Gentoo fan usually - but source distros are not good for embedded devices). I have been tinkering, and seem to have got it to a stage where networking does not get started on boot. what do I need to check to sort it out? (/etc/network/interfaces looks OK) | 22:04 |
| stefg | roc: googling for a tutorial... you need to start with a minimal install, put /tmp in tmpfs and avoid heavy apps. ext4 actually runs good on slow ssd'S | 22:04 |
| Slart | Draggin: I don't think it will really matter.. as long as you have the kernel headers installed in the right place | 22:04 |
| roc | stefg: ext4 means what? | 22:04 |
| stefg | !ext4 | 22:05 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ext4 | 22:05 |
| pcbuilder97 | roc its a diffrent file system type and format | 22:05 |
| dare | will we see ubuntu with hurd kernel? maybe ubunturd? :-) | 22:05 |
| Draggin | Slart - thanks. But, can you just tell me what it really means then if Synaptic indicates that a package is not officially supported...? | 22:05 |
| Slart | Draggin: but it might also just fail for some weird reason... I'm not too familiar with how it handles kernel modules with home built kernels | 22:05 |
| roc | can i change that without reinstalling? | 22:05 |
| pcbuilder97 | its said to be more effeitiant than the current ex3 and more stable | 22:05 |
| JadenKorn | Slart, It seems I can't add files to it.. says I'm not the owner | 22:05 |
| pcbuilder97 | i wouldnt think so | 22:05 |
| Flannel | roc, pcbuilder97: ext4 isn't stable enough yet. It still suffers from dataloss | 22:05 |
| pcbuilder97 | i know but the goal is to be more stable | 22:06 |
| Edico | what is the name of the program that shows informations about hardware? | 22:06 |

| lstarnes | Edico: the graphical one? | 22:06 |
| Flannel | dare: Yes. | 22:06 |
| roc | ok... so basically it means that i have to stay by everything i now have, and the system will run slow... :( | 22:06 |
| Edico | lstarnes, yes | 22:06 |
| dare | that explains the loss of my .gnome configuration files twice since i installed ubuntu with ext4! | 22:06 |
| stefg | roc: try http://www.geteasypeasy.com/ | 22:06 |
| Slart | Draggin: I'm not sure what they mean by that.. when we use that term it usually means we're tired of troubleshooting stuff from the base up because we don't know what kind of system the user is running.. =) | 22:07 |
| Edico | lstarnes, Flannel is a program that can generate a html file | 22:07 |

| NickWebHA | I accidentally dragged ~/Desktop into ~/Documents and now Ubuntu using ~/Documents/Desktop as my desktop folder. Dragging it back does not move it back (which I thought was strange). Anyone know how I can fix this? | 22:08 |
| Slart | zk: check in synaptic... there are different kernel header packages... that line with "uname -r" just installs the one you're running | 22:08 |
| VCoolio | NickWebHA: there's a file that handles that, ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs | 22:08 |
| roc | stefg: my computer already looks like that... it seems to be the same like the official ubuntu netbook remix | 22:09 |
| alain | just a little question : how to start the X interface when I'm on the command line login | 22:09 |
| zk | Slart, that's what i need....but when i apt-get it ,it seems to come unpatched | 22:09 |
| stefg | zk: i doubt it'll work to build a custom kernel and still use retricted modules... you might look into module-assistant | 22:09 |
| zk | stefcc, it works...already has .debs made by someone else for 2.6.28-13-generic | 22:09 |
| Slart | zk: the headers in the package should be the headers that the kernel is compiled with | 22:09 |
| JadenKorn | Slart, "sudo chown -R jadenkorn:jadenkorn /media/MyData/" seemed to work.. thanks | 22:09 |
| Draggin | Slart - haha :) Thanks for the honesty :P | 22:10 |
| zk | Slart, i don't need the headers..but the source | 22:10 |
| Slart | JadenKorn: you're welcome | 22:10 |
| NickWebHA | VCoolie: I suppose I need to log out, in for that to take effect? | 22:10 |
| zk | Slart, to patch and re-compile it | 22:10 |
| roc | stefg: is there any difference to the original ubuntu netbook remix? | 22:10 |
| wng_z3r0 | hi, I need to make a program run at startup, but it needs to run as root. Can someone throw me a link or what to search for? | 22:10 |
| Ooook | anyone have any idea as to the answer my problem? | 22:10 |
| NickWebHA | Well, let me try that. Thank you. | 22:10 |
| JadenKorn | Slart, is this "/dev/sda2 /mnt/MyData xfs rw,user,auto 0 0" good for autobooting the xfs partition? | 22:11 |
| VCoolio | NickWebHA: there probably is a command for it, but relogin is faster than finding that out | 22:11 |
| Slart | zk: then there are source packages.. I haven't built a kernel from those packages myself but I would assume that they are patched appropriately | 22:11 |
| stefg | roc: it's customized for atom based hardware... different kernel, some different apps, some differently tweaked defaults | 22:11 |
| Ooook | I've recently upgraded to Ubuntu Jaunty, just last night. I can't get sound to work on firefox flash. I am using a 32 bit system. | 22:11 |

| zk | Slart, but when i compile and make debs i get linux-image-2.6.28-09-generic instead of linux-image-2.6.28-14-generic | 22:11 |
| Slart | JadenKorn: looks good to me.. I think you'll find it easier to put it in /media instead of /mnt ... for some reason gnome likes to have the mount points in /media | 22:11 |
| roc | by the way... something i just want to mention | 22:11 |
| roc | i think the ubuntu community is awesome | 22:11 |

| Draggin | Slart... I can't really remember... Was long ago, but that doesn't seem like something I'd normally do... | 22:17 |
| dretchswatter | lol | 22:17 |
| Slart | mark_: uname -a might tell you.. not sure if it's listed in lsb_release -a | 22:17 |
| wng_z3r0 | slart: that doesn't seem to help me. I want to start a program at bootup, not mess with grub | 22:18 |
| rww | mark_: type "uname -m" in a terminal. If you get i686, it's 32-bit. If you get x86_64, it's 64-bit. | 22:18 |

| Slart | wng_z3r0: there is also the part about using the directory etc/rc.local for startup scripts.. those will be run by root | 22:21 |
| rww | daniellockard, LordLandon: and the correct way to deal with people like that is to ignore them and let the operators deal with them. | 22:21 |

| Jorknow | hey all, anyone familiar with both Ubuntu and Vista? | 23:00 |
| filgy | megamonk: how long has it been stuck formatting ? | 23:00 |
| megamonk | 5hrs | 23:00 |
| filgy | megamonk: with it going through wubi you should just be able to kill the install then try again, but you might want to confirm with someone else first | 23:00 |
| rek | eh | 23:00 |
| helper | krisives apt-get need privildge mode to execute it. | 23:01 |
| rek | mi sono trovato così e così | 23:01 |
| krisives | Are packages supposed to have the -dev requirements in their dependencies? I just did apt-get source nautilus-open-terminal and ./configure but it's missing some -dev libraries | 23:01 |
| rek | non capivo | 23:01 |
| rek | non potevo aprire i client | 23:01 |
| megamonk | i did that alraedy... been trying to install it for 5 days now | 23:01 |
| krisives | helper: apt-get source doesn't require root (he a bot I assume?) | 23:01 |
| Raenir | I don't find any particularily consistent instructions nor do they seem to work at all for getting EVE to work with wine | 23:02 |
| megamonk | i tried googling for solution and looking in forums... i defragged my hdd 5 times already | 23:02 |
| mrwes | krisives, so install the libs it tells you that are missing | 23:02 |
| megamonk | it still does work :( | 23:02 |
| megamonk | it still doesnt work :( | 23:02 |
| krisives | mrwes: I will, but is it not possible to have these installed for me with apt-get source? | 23:02 |
| Jorknow | Well I need some help. Vista recently got a virus, so I had to reformat my vista partition, while leaving the Ubuntu alone. Now that Vista is set up and running, I cannot get to the OS selection screen at first boot. Anyone have any ideas? | 23:03 |
| filgy | megamonk: ok try making the directory c:\wubi\disks | 23:03 |
| filgy | megamonk: do this after you close the hanging install | 23:03 |
| krisives | Jorknow: You need to update your GRUB | 23:03 |
| Jorknow | and how do i go about doing that? | 23:03 |
| mrwes | krisives, apt-get source does not grab all the dependencies like apt-get install | 23:03 |
| krisives | Jorknow: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows | 23:03 |
| AsgardBeast | Jorknow : You must update/reinstall grub. | 23:03 |
| megamonk | filgy: i tried that already... been tryimg to install it for 4 days now | 23:04 |
| krisives | mrwes: Thanks, I guess I can manually install the deps | 23:04 |
| bobo | hey guys, i have a 160 GB HDD, and so far have taken up about 20-30 GB on it (music, movies,etc..), but when i open nautilus it says i only have about 25GB left of space, what gives? | 23:04 |
| stefg | megamonk: is it really worth the effort to try 5 wubi installs vs. resizing your windows partition and go for the real bang? (which probably works wth less trouble) | 23:04 |
| filgy | megamonk: then put 1 files in that directory named "swap.disk" | 23:04 |
| mrwes | krisives, you might also look into checkinstall if you are installing from the source | 23:04 |
| filgy | megamonk: make the swap.disk file the size that you want your swap to be | 23:04 |
| mrwes | krisives, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall | 23:04 |
| Jorknow | thanks! will read and try! | 23:04 |
| Draggin | Cheers everyone - thanks for all the help :) | 23:04 |
| krisives | mrwes: Yeah, I know about CheckInstall, but it fails a lot on me. Do most packages have a make deb? | 23:05 |
| stefg | bobo: emty trash :-) | 23:05 |
| joeyeye | bobo: run disk usage analyzer ... or delete trash | 23:06 |
| filgy | megamonk: after you create that file.. try to install it through wubi without a swap partition | 23:06 |
| krisives | mrwes: How long does it take for a patch I make to hit a repo? A lot of people complain about bugs, and I would like to fix them more often and not send out .debs to them. | 23:06 |
| filgy | megamonk: then recreate that file if you need to after the install if it works | 23:06 |
| megamonk | filgy: i m an absolute newbie. can you please elaborate what u mean. i dont get it. how do it change size of swap disk within windows? what file to put and where? thanks | 23:06 |
| filgy | megamonk: you can put any file there that is the size you need | 23:06 |
| bobo | stefg: i already did that, i've no idea where all my space went | 23:06 |
| filgy | megamonk: just rename it to swap.disk | 23:06 |
| filgy | megamonk: you would do it using windows my computer... like you are copying then renaming any normal file | 23:07 |
| megamonk | but it already has a file named swap disk. its about 250mb | 23:07 |
| mrwes | krisives, subscribe to the bug at launchpad and you can keep yourself informed on the status and potential workarounds for bugs | 23:08 |
| megamonk | filgy: so i need to overwrite it? | 23:08 |
| mrwes | krisives, of course it all depends on the severity of the bug :) | 23:08 |
| krisives | mrwes: I am an experienced developer, just not familar with Ubuntu | 23:08 |
| joeyeye | bobo: run disk usage analyzer (baobab) | 23:08 |
| === remark is now known as kylskop | ||
| stefg | bobo: run baobab and find out | 23:09 |
| krisives | mrwes: I am more interested in fixing the bugs than reporting them | 23:09 |
| megamonk | filgy: because i looked at the folders, there is already a file nameds swap.disk | 23:09 |
| deany | ok, so I just made a user with useradd, giving the options to make the home folder and also supplied the password in the command line.. so why the hell do I have to sudo passwd user (supply password, even the same one) for it to let it login? argh | 23:09 |
| mark_ | how do I setup remote desktop? | 23:09 |
| filgy | megamonk: how big is the file that is already there? | 23:09 |
| mrwes | krisives, you could run the beta version of the next version due out in October -- code named Karmic Koala, join #ubuntu+1 | 23:09 |
| deany | its pained me for 2 days. lol | 23:10 |
| bobo | joeyeye and stefg: ive already done that, but ill do it again and give you a screenshot to show you just how puzzled i am.... | 23:10 |

| krisives | mrwes: How do most makefiles do creating debs? Or do they rely on checkinstall mostly | 23:10 |
| AsgardBeast | mark_ : System : Preferences : Remote Desktop | 23:10 |
| megamonk | filgy: about 250mb | 23:11 |
| filgy | megamonk: and you're sure you have plenty of free space on the hard drive that file is located on ? | 23:11 |
| mrwes | krisives, I never used a makefile to create a .deb; however I have used subversion to compile the latest and greatest of a few apps I choose | 23:11 |
| krisives | Is there a channel more suited for developers? | 23:12 |

| bobo | joeyeye ok | 23:13 |
| filgy | megamonk: ok.. well all i can really suggest then is to try to delete the swap.disk file then try to install again with wubi | 23:13 |
| filgy | megamonk: if that doesn't work i would suggest you just install ubuntu normally and use that 10gb partition for the ubuntu install... | 23:13 |

| CradLeRcker | I have a problem with steam and wine. When i open steam in wine it fails to open properly and crashes. I havnt updated to the latest version of wine, but thats because when i was in the latest version, i couldnt play team fortress 2. | 23:51 |
| corrupt_glxgears | hello =) my issue is just what it says, glxgears and any other OpenGL displays corrupt gfx on the old pc. direct rendering=yes | 23:51 |
| arajabat | ok, thank you I will try again | 23:51 |
| dretchswatter | CradLeRcker, Try going into wine settings and setting it to a "full desktop display" or soemthing similar so that there is a fake windows desktop, that may fix it | 23:52 |
| Dr_Willis | Hmm.. steam and wine work here.. but i dont play any games with it.. | 23:53 |
| Dr_Willis | steam is a little flakey in ways with wine however. | 23:54 |
| seanthegeek | I've done a fresh quick install of LTSP but TFTP says file can not be found. can someone help? | 23:54 |
| MikeChelen | Dr_Willis, hl2 and css play alright | 23:54 |
| zip | dretchswatter, he could set up a virtual display in VM....on another desktop couldnt he? | 23:54 |
| dretchswatter | zip he could, but I know nothing about that | 23:55 |
| Jkessler | Can someone recommend a good Wireless-n draft 2.0 pci card for Ubuntu 9.04 that works out of the box? | 23:55 |
| Dr_Willis | MikeChelen: i dont play the games much any more. : I do know that Port Royal2 dont work with wine/steam for me. | 23:55 |
| dretchswatter | zip, so I won't suggest something I don't know about | 23:55 |
| corrupt_glxgears | I am loving how far Linux has come on my other pc's gfx card | 23:55 |
| corrupt_glxgears | can run ffxi with it | 23:55 |
| zip | dretchswatter, then I dont either :) | 23:55 |

| zip | i do........but not enough to walk someone through it... | 23:56 |
| Kingsy101 | has anyone had it where they have had ubuntu 8.10 installed and it works fine. and as soon as they install 9.04, (upgrade, and re-start) it comes up with an error on boot? a long trace? | 23:56 |
| Kingsy101 | it seems as tho ubuntu 9.04 isnt compatible with my system or something.. which is just crazy | 23:57 |
| corrupt_glxgears | 9.04 works fine in all cases for me...but they are all clean installs =( Came back to Ubuntu from another distro | 23:57 |
| zip | syntax...u know a guy named shdowboxn.....from unet | 23:57 |
| syntax | i never heard of him | 23:58 |
| Dr_Willis | Kingsy101: it may be safer to do a 'clean install' of 9.04 not a upgrade | 23:58 |
| Kingsy101 | yea you see I tried to install 9.04 from a clean install but it came up with the same trace | 23:58 |
| MikeChelen | Dr_Willis, thats too bad, there is a list of some games that work at http://appdb.winehq.org | 23:58 |
| roadfish | is there a Python package that will manipulate/split animated gifs? | 23:58 |
| zip | different syntax then | 23:58 |
| windwhinny | Kingsy101,you can try suse or fedora, not only ubuntu | 23:58 |
| Kingsy101 | Dr_Willis - I did, it either hung before the installation or came up with the same trace | 23:58 |
| seanthegeek | Kingsy101: i had this issue with a laptop | 23:58 |
| corrupt_glxgears | did you try safe gfx mode? solved my friend's issue | 23:58 |
| Kingsy101 | seanthegeek - what did you do? | 23:59 |
| seanthegeek | Kingsy101 i think its the kernel, i cant use any newer distros | 23:59 |
| Kingsy101 | corrupt_glxgears - what do you mean? always use safe graphics mode? all of the time? | 23:59 |
| Kingsy101 | seanthegeek - so you are suck with 8.10 ? | 23:59 |
| seanthegeek | i stuck with 8.10 | 23:59 |
| Kingsy101 | man o man that sucks | 23:59 |
