| Syron4 | georgefrs, 64-bit is recommended for virtualbox? why is that? | 00:00 |
| Drained | oh well kalisto_ i give up. | 00:00 |
| Kalisto_ | same issue? | 00:00 |
| Drained | yeah no diffrence. | 00:01 |
| Drained | ive got to get going tho so that's as far as i can put up for ubuntu for today. | 00:01 |
| Mango | georgefrs: I can't access the page: "Your client is not allowed to access the requested object. " | 00:01 |
| skorasaurus | Sahdos, i'm trying out chromium right now. i'd rather not have to change browser from firefox. and this problem just started this afternoon, for no apparent reason. | 00:01 |
| Kalisto_ | Drained, ok sorry i could not be more help | 00:01 |
| Mango | georgefrs: do you work for sun or what? | 00:01 |
| Drained | it's ok | 00:01 |
| dumont | I'm trying to install fluxbox, or some other application but I keep getting the same error for all installs - "Package acpid is not configured yet" | 00:01 |
| lstarnes | Syron4: because virtualbox can't run 64-bit guest systems without the host system being 64-bit | 00:02 |
| dumont | can someone help me figure it out? | 00:02 |
| Sahdos | skorasaurus: I would rather you not have to change browsers, but the problem is strange. maybe if it works in chrome it will shed some light on the problem. | 00:02 |
| Syron4 | lstarnes, there is no stability increase? | 00:02 |
| georgefrs | Syron4: Virtualisation is one of the applications that gets a performance boost from 64-bit cpus | 00:02 |
| subverso | hello | 00:02 |
| Mango | georgefrs: I can access it now O_o! | 00:02 |
| Syron4 | ah okay. guess that will settle my plan | 00:03 |
| dumont | I'm trying to install fluxbox, or some other application but I keep getting the same error for all installs - "Package acpid is not configured yet" | 00:03 |
| skorasaurus | Sahdos, k. thanks, i've did a bit of searching on launchpad, found no bugs similar to this, and have the most updated version of firefox, 3.0.12 for jaunty. | 00:03 |
| server_side | is there a gui that deals with file perms and other terminal based stuff? | 00:03 |
| lstarnes | Syron4: there may be some stability differences | 00:03 |
| georgefrs | Mango: Nope, don't work for sun :D | 00:03 |
| Sahdos | skorasaurus: any links that might shed some light on the problem? | 00:03 |
| subverso | anyone could help me with wacom configuration? I lost my calibration everytime I reboot or restart a new session... | 00:03 |
| Sahdos | skorasaurus: I'm using Jaunty too. Never had this problem. | 00:03 |
| Sahdos | skorasaurus: have you changed anything that might be connected to the problem? how does the site appear without text? graphics works okay? | 00:04 |
| Mango | georgefrs: Mandriva is installed on this partition: /dev/sda5 so it's in root (hd0, 5) | 00:05 |
| Sahdos | georgefrs: I thought the benefits of 64bit cpus was the increased memory allocation, and that's about it. | 00:05 |
| Mango | georgefrs: right? | 00:05 |
| skorasaurus | graphics are fine. i didn't change anything besides update a couple of extensions (don't remember which ones exactly) through the firefox updater, but I disabled all my add-ons and the prob still occured. | 00:05 |
| georgefrs | Mango: Odd you can't access the page, works for me. Try this one instead: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 00:05 |
| skorasaurus | i also tried different browsers too (flock, galeon) | 00:05 |
| Sahdos | skorasaurus: every page you visit has no text? | 00:05 |
| georgefrs | Sahdos: The longer instruction length also leads to better performance in floating point operation heavy code | 00:05 |
| lstarnes | Sahdos: some operations on larger numbers also become faster | 00:05 |

| jonathank89 | hey guys, i've got this really weird bug that stops me from shutting down or restarting from the user agent switcher (the thing in the top right that says your name), when i click either of them it brings me to the 60s confirmation window and just does nothing... but if it press the power button on my laptop it brings up all the options and works fine. | 00:06 |
| georgefrs | Mango: grub inconveniently begins counting paritions from 0, not 1 | 00:06 |
| dumont | HELP PLEASE! why can't I install vnstat? http://pastebin.com/m474431cb | 00:07 |
| skorasaurus | jonathank89, 60s confirmation window, what is that ? | 00:07 |
| lstarnes | Sahdos: accessing a number larger than 2^32 on a 32-bit system is more complex because 32-bit systems only natively support values smaller than 2^32. Larger values require additional operations | 00:07 |
| lstarnes | dumont: you have no /proc/acpi/event | 00:08 |
| lstarnes | dumont: make sure you don't have acpi disabled | 00:08 |
| Sahdos | lstarnes: thank you | 00:08 |
| dumont | lstarnes how do I do that? | 00:08 |
| jonathank89 | skorasaurus, you know when you go to shutdown it pops up the little window that says "the computer will shut down in 60 seconds" and you click shutdown. | 00:08 |
| lstarnes | dumont: I don't remember | 00:08 |
| dumont | wtf? | 00:08 |
| dumont | I can't install anything, and this is all the help I get? | 00:09 |
| skorasaurus | Sahdos, I don't have any problems yet on chromium. | 00:09 |
| Sahdos | rodimus: everything I say is a lie | 00:09 |
| Sahdos | rodimus: I am telling the truth | 00:09 |
| deexannihilate | dumont: what's the problem? | 00:09 |
| skorasaurus | dumont, sorry, it's a very busy channel, and may take some time for someone to help you. | 00:09 |
| jonathank89 | so can anyone help me with my shutdown problem? | 00:09 |
| Sahdos | skorasaurus: pattern with sites that aren't displaying text? | 00:09 |
| rodimus | shados: ok | 00:10 |
| lstarnes | dumont: it may be disabled if "noacpi" appears in /proc/cmdline | 00:10 |

| === spoonman is now known as matt2 | ||

| Sahdos | rodimus: I needed to add "AccelMethod" "UXA" to my xorg.conf file for compiz desktop effects to work | 00:11 |

| maribel | Hello, I upgraded to KDE 4.3 and now all the system is broken. I think I got a workaround, but I need to apt-get to access the Internet but even that is broken over here. I have my computer wired to the router and I have disabled NetworkManager, but when I run `sudo ifup eth0`, I get this error: Ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0. WHat can I do to enable eth0 via the command line? | 00:12 |
| skorasaurus | jonathank89, have you upgraded anything recently ? | 00:12 |
| Sahdos | I must have an Intel 965 | 00:12 |
| rodimus | Sahdos, tell me more | 00:12 |
| Sahdos | rodimus: why? | 00:12 |
| georgefrs | maribel: have you tried 'ifconfig eth0 up' ? | 00:13 |
| skorasaurus | Sahdos, firefox's error console "displays Warning: Error in parsing value for property 'filter'." | 00:13 |
| server_side | can i make ubuntu boot faster? | 00:13 |
| dumont | lstarnes the only thing in that file is "auto BOOT_IMAGE=linux ro root=801" | 00:13 |
| skorasaurus | jonathank89, sorry I cannot help out, I'm getting busy. good luck. | 00:14 |
| jonathank89 | skorasaurus, well there where a couple of updates i installed...but i can't really remember what they where... | 00:14 |
| lstarnes | dumont: what do you have in /etc/acpi? | 00:14 |
| lstarnes | dumont: oops, /proc/acpi | 00:14 |
| beau | I can't remember, what's the quick way to open terminal.. like via hotkey? | 00:14 |
| georgefrs | If your graphics card is blacklisted from desktop-effects you can turn them back on again by removing the blacklist (at your own risk of course). I did it when I had an intel 965 and it worked alright | 00:14 |
| Sahdos | skorasaurus: I have that error message "declaration dropped" | 00:15 |
| Sahdos | skorasaurus: what sites aren't displaying text? | 00:15 |
| bloodrock | dumont, try this in terminal sudo /etc/init.d/acpid stop then this sudo dpkg --configure -a | 00:15 |

| georgefrs | maribel: what is the output of running 'ifconfig' on its own? | 00:16 |
| skorasaurus | jonathank89, I would try to see if you have the same problem with a different kernel. | 00:16 |
| maribel | georgefrs: I did it as sudo and got no output | 00:17 |
| georgefrs | maribel: The command outputs absoloutely nothing? hm... | 00:17 |

| mdg | gogeta: there was a guy here last night who was having trouble with his Dell Mini 9, who I was trying to help | 00:35 |

| gogeta | mdg: lemmie guess wifi bugs | 00:35 |
| gogeta | lol | 00:35 |
| mdg | gogeta: part of his issue was wifi, but he got a 4 gig SSD, which made things tough | 00:35 |

| Armageddon | how do i install a 32bit .deb package on a 64bit Ubuntu using dpkg ? | 00:36 |
| === ubuntu is now known as unixbocx | ||
| deexannihilate | mdg: hello | 00:36 |
| Sahdos | skorasaurus: yeah | 00:36 |
| gogeta | mdg: eebuntu base edtion is good for small ssds | 00:36 |
| maribel | georgefrs: I'll run it in a moment. I've just run "sudo ifup eth0" and now I'm getting a bunch of lines that read: DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval X ---- where X is a number (so far 3, 6, 15 and 20) | 00:36 |
| gogeta | mdg: lets you install what you need | 00:36 |
| centinul | How would I go about getting Nvidia HDMI Audio out working on Junaty? | 00:36 |
| bloodrock | dumont, you got your home folder on a seperate partitian | 00:36 |
| unixbocx | hello, need to retest a website, unixbocx.kicks-ass.net , is it up for you all | 00:37 |
| dumont | i think all this trouble started when I was upgrading via apt-get upgrade, and I got this somewhere along in the upgrade http://pastebin.com/m4dd5fc93 | 00:37 |
| gogeta | mdg: if he gots a spare sd card he can make a lvm setup to expand is storage as well | 00:37 |
| deexannihilate | mdg: so, I used it today at Bruegger's and it had a 58/100 connection and never once disconnected in the two hours I was there | 00:37 |
| mdg | deexannihilate: I don't know if this is good news or bad since you installed twice yesterday, but gogeta says that eeebuntu works way better than wifi, etc. | 00:37 |
| Sahdos | skorasaurus: never heard of Arora, but Sirebral, in the link you sent, said it doesn't have the problem | 00:37 |
| maribel | georgefrs: Nevermind. I just got "No DHCPOFFERS received. No working leases in persistent database - sleeping". I'll try the other commands... | 00:37 |
| deexannihilate | mdg: so, I don't know if it is permanently fixed because you're awesome or if the other two connects are just bad. | 00:37 |
| dumont | bloodrock the install is hours fresh, home folder is on the same partition as root | 00:37 |
| georgefrs | maribel: thats good, that should have the same effect as running 'sudo dhclient eth0', request an IP address from your dhcp server | 00:37 |
| mdg | deexannihilate: can you connect a home wirelessly? | 00:37 |
| g073nks | anyone, is there a way to manage irq's via the OS? | 00:37 |
| deexannihilate | mdg: i'll check | 00:38 |
| gogeta | deexannihilate: the disconnects are randoom sometimes it whont at all sometimes it whont quit | 00:38 |
| g073nks | i think that's the reason my wireless network card isn't working | 00:38 |
| bloodrock | dumont, then prob best to just do a complete reinstall | 00:38 |
| mdg | gogeta: deexannihilate lost the ability to plug in an ethernet cable - it just would not work, was that ever a problem in eeebuntu? | 00:38 |
| Armageddon | how do i install a 32bit .deb package on a 64bit Ubuntu using dpkg ? i found it somewhere on the internet, to install Flash Player on a 64bit ubuntu ! any help ? | 00:38 |

| mdg | styol: hey, hows it going? | 00:40 |
| maribel | georgefrs: I don't know what happened, but I tried to fix it the Windows way and it worked :) (this is, I rebooted the computer). Thank you very, very, very much!! | 00:40 |

| deexannihilate | mdg: I stepped away. Gogeta is suggest eeebuntu which is a different distro?? | 00:44 |
| georgefrs | StrangeCharm: Not sure where virtualbox puts them by default on linux | 00:44 |
| mdg | styol: I defer to gogeta's advice | 00:44 |
| styol | which is specifically "base edition" yea? | 00:44 |
| arifd86 | i'm running eeebuntu right now... the lxde beta | 00:44 |
| gogeta | styol: base only comes with basic stuff gnome | 00:44 |
| deexannihilate | mdg: it is only running at 12/100 | 00:45 |

| deexannihilate | mdg: i have to run away. I'm sorry! I'll be back later. Hopefully, you are too | 00:46 |
| styol | gogeta ah gotcha... 562mb! awesome lol... even UNR was ~1gig no? | 00:46 |
| georgefrs | StrangeCharm: imo probably the best place to put them, inside /home gets messy if you ever change users | 00:46 |
| JoeBaloney | #security-shell | 00:46 |

| arifd86 | Dr_Willis, thanks, I just had it figured that the window manager was nothing more than the GUI to the system | 01:05 |

| gogeta | deexannihilate: using it on my 900a and yes in thee fourms thers acer ones users | 01:06 |

| gogeta | as well as dell mini 9 and 10 | 01:06 |
| Dr_Willis | arifd86: the 'window manager' is techinally the tool that does the window decorations. thats true.. but you are running the lxde 'desktop' that is the Window manager + other tools... | 01:06 |

| TwoToneSpirit | Radtoo: Yeah I'm going crazy with gnome-keyring too. When I reinstalled, the password for .gnome-keyrind was not changed. | 01:39 |
| burkmat | TwoToneSpirit: The passphrase is in the keyfile... Sort of. I suspect at least. When you add a passphrase, the key itself is encrypted with it. | 01:40 |

| burkmat | TwoToneSpirit: Then I'm afraid the key is lost without a passphrase (or some serious brute-forcing ^^). Sorry. | 01:45 |
| Radtoo | TwoToneSpirit: That'd be when you log in with username / pw in ssh rather than username / key. I just thought perhaps the key was not sent by the client for some reason and the server-side fallback to interactive login had triggered | 01:45 |

| burkmat | TwoToneSpirit: I guess the keyring did that for you... Not very nice of it. If you didn't already, I suggest you use `ssh-keygen` CLI for making keys, with passphrases. All in 1 file, if you remember the passphrase that is. ;) | 01:47 |

| blognewb | how can you do a sudo on filezilla? | 02:19 |

| Mike_lifeguard | bankix: do I need "defaults" too? | 02:20 |
| bankix | queso_: Could you post me a line of your "lsusb" output with the device? Then I could use these values in the example so it's clearer to you. | 02:20 |
| bankix | Mike_lifeguard: Depends. "defaults" is short for a number of options, the manpage shows which. If you need them, keep "defaults". I would. | 02:21 |

| bankix | queso_: Now let a loop (for d in /sys/bus/usb/devices/*; do) run over all devices, and look if there are the files */busnum and */devnum | 02:23 |
| bankix | queso_: The file busnum must match the bus number, the file devnum the device number. | 02:23 |
| Radtoo | blognewb: you could probably run it with... gksudo was it? But while it may not be quite as current as it used to be, its sort of an old wisdom not to run networking programs like ftp as root user. | 02:23 |

| queso_ | bankix: Ooh, lol. :) Write a script . . . hmm. I don't exactly know how to do that for this purpose. | 02:25 |
| bankix | queso_: When you did find the appropriate directory in /sys/bus/usb/devices, you could resolve the pci bus path with "readlink". | 02:25 |
| Radtoo | blognewb: there's a login field in filezilla, at most you put "root" in there rather than running the whole thing as root. | 02:25 |

| bankix | queso_: Perhaps write down the important steps: | 02:32 |
| queso_ | bankix: lol | 02:32 |
| Radtoo | blognewb: I think the default would be your current user, so yes, I think you'd have to explicitly put root there... | 02:32 |
| queso_ | bankix: sure, I'm willing to learn. :) | 02:32 |
| bankix | queso_: first you have to call "lsusb" and cut out busnumber and devicenumber. | 02:32 |
| blognewb | Radtoo: are there any ways to have filezilla prompt you for a root password when necessary? | 02:33 |
| Radtoo | blognewb: Uhm the password field is right next to the user field unless my memory is failing me, but I think it will prompt if you leave it blank... | 02:33 |
| blognewb | ..to avoid saving the root in settings | 02:33 |
| bankix | queso_: then wander through /sys/bus/usb/devices, with the for loop I posted. In $d is the name of the directory you test | 02:33 |
| === hyperion is now known as Hyperion__ | ||
| bankix | queso_: Look if there is $d/busnum an $d/devnum (if [ -e $d/busnum -a $d/devnum ]; then) | 02:34 |
| th0r | blognewb: it is a very bad security practice to ftp to dirs that require root access. ftp to a dir in ~/ and then ssh to the server and move the files using sudo | 02:34 |
| bankix | queso_: Then look into busnum and devnum, and compare it to the numbers you got from lspci. | 02:34 |
| === root is now known as Guest33858 | ||
| bankix | queso_: If both match, $d is the usb device directory of the device you were looking for. | 02:35 |
| === Guest33858 is now known as free2x | ||
| blognewb | th0r: sorry what's ~/? | 02:35 |
| th0r | blognewb: your home directory (/home/username/) | 02:36 |
| blognewb | oh home | 02:36 |
| bankix | queso_: If you need the /sys/devices/pci* path, simply call "readlink $d", this will return you the relative path. Prepend $d, and you get the absolute path. | 02:36 |
| Radtoo | th0r: that isn't really safer than sftp though, save for using two passwords instead of one (if both are bad it doesn't matter much tho, and if one is strong its all good anyways) | 02:36 |
| bankix | queso_: that should be all. | 02:36 |

| Pici | !lamp | streblo | 02:37 |
| ubottu | streblo: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 02:37 |
| bankix | queso_: Good luck. It's not too hard, looking to half a dozend bash script should teach you enough. | 02:37 |
| th0r | Radtoo: it isn't so much for hacker security...there can be occasions where what you upload overwrites something in, say /usr/bin, and locks everything up. Doing the move separately attempts to circumvent that possibility | 02:37 |
| blognewb | th0r: so.. i can't ftp anywhere but ~/ as best practices? | 02:37 |
| grendal_prime | Im trying to install glipper.i keep getting this... 302 Found [IP: 91.189.88.140 80]?? | 02:38 |

| Radtoo | th0r: hemm that seems very unlikely to me, given how linux filesystems and inodes work, but ... I guess you can kill things if you partially upload a set of binaries / libraries, and mv "might" be fast enough. :P | 02:39 |
| boss_mc | streblo: it starts by itself | 02:39 |

| th0r | Radtoo: yeah....it is just an extra step that might prevent a very big headache. I always have ~/temp...ftp to that and then move everything where it goes using ssh and maybe sudo mc | 02:40 |
| bankix | streblo: IMHO /var/lib/apache or /var/lib/httpd | 02:40 |
| Radtoo | th0r: I personally... would just not move binaries between systems except with a package manger. Really. You always mess up some linkage. :) | 02:40 |
| th0r | Radtoo: yeah...exactly my point <smile>. | 02:41 |
| streblo | bankix, neither of those exist yet, should i create them? | 02:41 |

| freemen | hello every 1 i have this proplem ples help i have ubtmnt | 03:03 |
| freemen | java puntime environment | 03:03 |
| uber_noober | guys its not the fair use issue but the breaking of the encryption that has been interpreted as no copy permitted | 03:04 |
| winkman | Does anyone know of an auto-configure for X.org in Xubuntu? | 03:04 |
| uber_noober | Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) makes it illegal to bypass DRM on a CD or DVD for any reason. | 03:04 |
| freemen | hello ples help i have this prablim java puntime environment | 03:04 |
| tylenol | winkman: i think 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' should do it | 03:04 |
| ryan8403 | uber_noober, right right, forgot about that little bugger, | 03:05 |
| uber_noober | lol | 03:05 |
| chris99 | Yea and it is this that also stops us from watching DVD's on our Desktops as well | 03:05 |
| Radtoo | uber_noober: I explicitly am allowed todo this here, but I'm not in the states. In fact I would even be allowed to if I made a competing product and needed to establish compatibility in one way or another. :) | 03:05 |
| th0r | Sahdos: uber_noober I think the real question is, is a script kiddie who doesn't recognize a command line really making a legit backup | 03:05 |
| uber_noober | this country is run by lawyers | 03:05 |
| uber_noober | th)r: i agree | 03:05 |
| queso_ | I want to turn off usb autosuspend for a specific device. can I just sudo vi /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:04.1/usb1/1-2/power/autosuspend and change from "2" to "-1"? | 03:05 |
| Sahdos | th0r: I just want to know when it's actually breaking the law | 03:05 |
| ryan8403 | th0r, agreed | 03:06 |
| freemen | java puntime environment | 03:06 |
| freemen | hello java puntime environment | 03:06 |
| uber_noober | Radtoo: use vobcopy to grab the VIDEO and AUDIO TS files and make an iso then burn it..Vobcopy should compress to <4.7 GB | 03:06 |
| uber_noober | or use dvdrip | 03:06 |
| chris99 | When you copy or play it and bypass the encryption you are breaking the low | 03:06 |
| chris99 | low = law | 03:06 |
| ryan8403 | personally if its for me as a backup/watch on plane/trip whatever i'm of the mind set who cares but thats me | 03:06 |
| uber_noober | Radtoo: Here: http://www.bunkus.org/dvdripping4linux/single/ | 03:06 |
| mountainsun_ | Hello | 03:07 |
| freemen | java puntime environment | 03:07 |
| Radtoo | uber_noober: Ah, I don't need the info, just contributing that this DMCA law doesn't apply everywhere. | 03:07 |
| uber_noober | Radtoo: its illegal in whatever country that ratified the World Intellectual Property Organization | 03:08 |
| Sahdos | I'm sure DMCA law applies in California | 03:08 |
| mountainsun_ | WOndering if anyone can help with permission denied error | 03:08 |
| mountainsun_ | cant boot jaunty | 03:08 |
| mountainsun_ | due to error i made in psydm | 03:08 |
| uber_noober | Sahdos: especially | 03:08 |

| Sahdos | uber_noober: no kidding | 03:09 |
| Sahdos | uber_noober: especially southern | 03:09 |
| mountainsun_ | x | 03:09 |
| bankix | queso_: You'll have to change it to -1 | 03:09 |
| bankix | queso_: e.g. by echo: "echo -1 > /where/the/device/file/is" | 03:09 |
| queso_ | bankix: how do I change it? I tried sudo vi, it didn't like that, lol | 03:10 |
| sin | I'm trying to run simcity 3000 and I get this error while loading shared libraries: libpthread.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory. I have libpthread.so.0 in /lib | 03:10 |
| sin | can anyone help | 03:10 |
| Sahdos | anyone know how to make all printing to be green on a black background :) | 03:10 |
| queso_ | bankix: aah, cool, I'll give it a shot | 03:10 |
| bankix | queso_: Ah, better "echo -- -1" to avoid parameter confusion. | 03:10 |
| Radtoo | uber_noober: No, thats wrong, sorry. :) | 03:10 |
| Sahdos | correction, not printing...displayed text | 03:10 |
| uber_noober | Radtoo: I'm sorry what is? | 03:10 |
| bankix | queso_: Forget about the "--", just "echo -1". Echo doesn't recognize -- . | 03:11 |
| burkmat | Sahdos: ...what displayed text? There's a lot of text in Ubuntu. :P | 03:11 |
| queso_ | bankix: that's weird, it says permission denied even when I sudo that | 03:11 |
| bankix | queso_: What device is it? | 03:11 |
| bankix | queso_: A harddisk? | 03:11 |
| queso_ | bankix: no, it's a usb wireless adapter | 03:11 |
| bankix | queso_: I cite the documentation: +It is worth mentioning that many USB drivers don't support +autosuspend. In fact, at the time of this writing (Linux 2.6.23) the +only drivers which do support it are the hub driver, kaweth, usblp, +usblcd, usb-skeleton (which doesn't count), and usb-storage. | 03:12 |
| SkippyDigits_ | does ubuntu come with vi? | 03:12 |
| Radtoo | uber_noober: That WIPO ratification = DMCA applies. Its really US national law. WIPO merely pushes for similar restrictions everywhere and some countries adopted some similar laws (but usually less extreme than the DCMA)... ahwell. Laws. :) | 03:12 |
| queso_ | bankix: intermittently my internet access will be lost and the only way to restore it is by rebooting (restarting network doesn't work). a co-worker suggested it might be the power/autosuspend for usb that is turning it off. | 03:12 |
| mountainsun_ | can anyone help, | 03:12 |
| mountainsun_ | can boot from usual place | 03:12 |
| mountainsun_ | /dev/sdc1 | 03:12 |
| mountainsun_ | due to permissions error | 03:12 |
| FloodBot1 | mountainsun_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 03:12 |
| mountainsun_ | how does one edit permissions from live disk (how I am tying this) | 03:12 |
| Sahdos | burkmat: actually, my problem is really on websites now | 03:12 |
| uber_noober | Radtoo: true enough | 03:12 |
| Sahdos | burkmat: the greasemonkey script I tried didn't work... | 03:13 |
| uber_noober | mountainsun: chmod 755 /dev/sdc1 | 03:13 |
| burkmat | Sahdos: ...you want to change the way websites look? Uhm... I guess you could change the default fonts and set up something in greasemonkey... | 03:13 |
| bankix | queso_: Ah! | 03:13 |
| Sahdos | burkmat: I'm not even sure if it's possible | 03:13 |
| queso_ | bankix: ooh :( so either I have been going down the wrong path, or I need to disable autosuspend for the whole hub? | 03:13 |
| bankix | queso: Which command did you enter? Please be exact. | 03:13 |
| burkmat | Sahdos: Definitely possible, just... very very useless and unnecessary. And probably difficult. :P | 03:14 |
| queso_ | bankix: which command? it was this: sudo echo -1 > /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:04.1/usb1/1-2/power/autosuspend | 03:14 |
| Sahdos | burkmat: not useless and unnecessary. I find it aesthetically pleasing | 03:14 |
| Anita | whats the recommended processor type for ubtunu? amd or intel? | 03:14 |
| Flannel | Anita: Doesn't matter | 03:14 |
| bankix | queso_: Hehehe, everybody gets trapped some day ;-) | 03:15 |
| Sahdos | burkmat: it helps me tolerate staring on the screen for extended stretches | 03:15 |
| p1und3r | anita: i used AMD64 with ubuntu 64-bit and it works like a charm | 03:15 |
| Anita | oh cool | 03:15 |
| uber_noober | Anita: intel is thinking about integrating Nvidia in the processors so I'd bet them | 03:15 |
| bankix | queso_: "echo -1" is executed as root. But you redirect the output of sudo -- as normal user. | 03:15 |
| navatwo | guys, so, I cant find nvidia drivers, how do I install them? | 03:15 |
| queso_ | bankix: ooh, I get trapped on a regular basis, lol. | 03:15 |
| bankix | queso_: Therefor the permission is denied. | 03:15 |
| uber_noober | Anita: but AMD is excellent too | 03:15 |
| === Cream|GONE is now known as Cream | ||
| Anita | hmm, kewlies =o | 03:15 |
| Radtoo | Anita: Well actually you could be using fairly wild CPUs with linux. But intel / amd have got plenty of good cpu and all work out of the box. | 03:16 |
| centinul | anyone have any luck getting a 1360x768 resolution with a samsung tv? | 03:16 |
| bankix | queso_: Do it as root: "sudo su -" then the echo line again. | 03:16 |
| burkmat | Sahdos: Well, while I might agree with that (currently using irssi with green on black :P), it's going to mess things up. When someone designs a website they have a certain design in mind, changing the way things are displayed might give you a lot of strange things to deal with. FOr instance, a green background - then your script changed text to green... Such things. | 03:16 |
| queso_ | bankix: doh! would sudo `echo -1 > /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:04.1/usb1/1-2/power/autosuspend` work? | 03:16 |
| bankix | queso_: Due you embedd the command into the script later and call the whole script via sudo, everything will work properly. | 03:16 |
| Anita | well, thats all i need to know... for now x3 arigato! | 03:16 |
| Flannel | queso_, bankix: echo "-1" | sudo tee /sys/whatever/whatever | 03:16 |
| mountainsun_ | thx uber | 03:17 |
| uber_noober | np | 03:17 |
| burkmat | Sahdos: actually changed my display colors a long time ago, and it was a pain in the ass browsing. everything gets distorted, and more often than not you need to highlight the text to even be able to see it ;) | 03:17 |
| Radtoo | Anita: There's even an optimized version of ubutu for intel atom cpu based netbooks (save power if you dont need processing power... :)) | 03:17 |
| bankix | queso_: Quoting it doesn't help. | 03:17 |
| DJ_X-Ray | Yooo:D | 03:17 |
| burkmat | Radtoo: What's it called? | 03:17 |
| queso_ | bankix: okay, your method worked | 03:17 |
| DJ_X-Ray | Yaahoo | 03:18 |
| Sahdos | burkmat: display colors and background colors? | 03:18 |
| queso_ | Flannel: thx :) | 03:18 |
| DJ_X-Ray | LINUX<3 | 03:18 |
| navatwo | guys, so, I cant find nvidia drivers, how do I install them? They are not in the Administration -> Hardware drivers | 03:18 |
| bankix | queso_: Then embedd that command into your script and give it a shot. | 03:18 |
| Flannel | queso_, bankix: echo -1 | sudo tee /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:04.1/usb1/1-2/power/autosuspend is the best way to do it | 03:18 |
| uber_noober | mountainsun_: file permissions are set in this mode: user, group, all. So 0 is no permission and 7 is all permission. 755 has user all permission and group and others have read write but no execute | 03:18 |
| queso_ | bankix: It wrote it, great! now to see if it helps :) if it does, I will make a script somehow to do that on bootup | 03:18 |
| burkmat | Sahdos: on websites, yes. since your preferences collide with css and html and whatnot... it just tends to get very hard to browse :) | 03:18 |
| centinul | my flat panel tv is reporting the wrong resolution, how do i fix that? | 03:18 |
| bankix | Flannel: He's writing a script. | 03:18 |
| Radtoo | burkmat: About the version of ubunutu? http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download-netbook <- this one | 03:19 |
| Flannel | bankix: If he's doing it at bootup, it'll already be executing as root | 03:19 |
| burkmat | Radtoo: Thanks. | 03:19 |
| mountainsun_ | uber, terminal reports operations not permitted? | 03:19 |
| mountainsun_ | chmod: changing permissions of `/dev/sdc1': Operation not permitted | 03:19 |
| Sahdos | burkmat: i already have challenges with my ubuntu theme | 03:19 |
| queso_ | bankix: my script is probably not following the best procedures. I just echo'd the directory, then tailed the $d/busnum and $d/devnum to find the right combination, lol | 03:19 |
| uber_noober | run it as sudo | 03:19 |
| Flannel | but, if you do need to do what most people think of as "sudo echo > whatever" the proper version of that is echo | tee whatever (or tee -a if you ened o append) | 03:19 |
| Radtoo | burkmat: http://www.canonical.com/projects/ubuntu/unr <- actually, this is an even better link | 03:19 |
| Sahdos | burkmat: do you use a greasemonkey script? | 03:19 |
| uber_noober | mountainsun_: sudo chmod 755 /dev/sdc1 | 03:19 |
| DJ_X-Ray | exit | 03:20 |
| bankix | queso_: Paste it me to paste.ubuntu.com, I'll have a look. | 03:20 |
| navatwo | Folks, I cant find the nvidia drivers, how do I find/install them? They are not in the Administration -> Hardware drivers | 03:20 |
| noquinho | hi friends! please help! how can i do to save my visual effects ? Everytime when i turn on my pc, the compiz is not working again | 03:20 |
| SimonS | visit nVidia webside | 03:21 |
| mountainsun_ | That would be perfect but operation not permitted? | 03:21 |
| navatwo | noquinho: #compiz | 03:21 |
| burkmat | Sahdos: Changed all system-wide default fonts and for browsing, yes, greasemonkey. | 03:21 |
| noquinho | how ? | 03:21 |
| ctmjr | navatwo: you can try the legacy drivers from nvidia or the open-source driver if there is no driver option in hardware drivers go to nvidia website and find your card it will let you know what driver to download | 03:22 |
| queso_ | bankix: http://paste.ubuntu.com/247641/ | 03:22 |
| uber_noober | navatwo: in terminal "sudo aptitude search nvidia" w/o quotes and look for nvidia glx | 03:22 |
| zachinneed | so im new here and i love ubuntu alot but now i have to figure out how to get flas to work on my computer dose any one have any tips for me | 03:22 |
| mountainsun_ | This started from my rookie tinkering to get folders on same drive shared over network thru psydm | 03:22 |
| mountainsun_ | could see but not copy to; tried to change via sudo psydm, and now cannot boot jaunty | 03:22 |
| bankix | queso_: Okay, there's missing something ;-) | 03:23 |
| burkmat | zachinneed: adobe flash? | 03:23 |
| navatwo | uber_noober: what do I do from this point? | 03:23 |
| zachinneed | yes | 03:23 |
| burkmat | !flash | 03:23 |
| ubottu | To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 03:23 |
| queso_ | bankix: lol! I'm sure there's a lot missing ;) | 03:23 |
| navatwo | It just says p nvidia-glx | 03:23 |
| bankix | queso_: To read the first line of file "busnum" into the variable busnumber, use "read busnumber < busnum" | 03:24 |
| zachinneed | well for some reson it is on there but wont work | 03:24 |
| zachinneed | that is my problem | 03:24 |
| uber_noober | navatwo: well if it is not installed install it if you want but that is the generic driver. Did you try going through System > Preferences > Hardware and install it from there? | 03:24 |
| navatwo | uber_noober: its not there.. | 03:24 |
| uber_noober | navatwo: what did the search return? | 03:24 |
| navatwo | in system etc. And what do you mean install it? | 03:24 |
| bankix | queso_: To compare two variables, use: if [ "$var1" = "$var2" ]; then | 03:25 |
| kingmanor | whats the file i need to edit to add a few lines to run at boot | 03:25 |
| bankix | queso_: To compare two sets, you can use: if [ "$var1a" = "$var1b" -a "$var2a" = "$var2b" ]; then | 03:25 |
| uber_noober | navatwo: dude here http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-nvidia-drivers-in-ubuntu-feisty-or-later-versions.html | 03:25 |
| navatwo | uber_noober: http://paste.ubuntu.com/247644/ | 03:26 |
| khelivol | 阿~ | 03:26 |
| queso_ | bankix: the "-a" is OR? | 03:26 |
| khelivol | what's this ~? | 03:26 |
| zachinneed | no i didnt is that a good way | 03:26 |
| bankix | queso_: No, -a is and, -o is or. | 03:27 |
| frisc0 | I have a flashed drive that has been write protected somehow. How do I remove the write protection on the fash drive. What is the command? | 03:27 |
| navatwo | uber_noober: there is no option.. | 03:27 |
| uber_noober | navatwo: you have the drivers available already | 03:27 |
| navatwo | frisc0: use chmod? | 03:27 |
| mdg | gogeta: hey, can you help styol troubleshoot wifi - he updated and wifi stopped working | 03:27 |
| navatwo | uber_noober: then what do I need to do? I always feel silly with this. | 03:27 |
| queso_ | bankix: awesome :) | 03:27 |
| === Guest9171 is now known as tonyyarusso | ||
| khelivol | aha ... i know | 03:28 |
| uber_noober | navatwo: what exactly is the issue with your display? By the looks of it your nvidia generic drivers including the kernel modules are already installed. So what is happening to your display? | 03:28 |
| queso_ | bankix: you are giving me a scripting lesson after all ;) | 03:29 |
| bankix | queso_: Okay, last step: How to get the numbers out of lsusb. | 03:29 |
| Drained | good evening everyone. | 03:29 |
| navatwo | uber_noober: compiz does not work | 03:29 |
| bankix | queso_: I did notice...... | 03:29 |
| navatwo | I cant use any window animations | 03:29 |
| Drained | Anyone know how to solve my OpenGL problems i have the 180 driver installed. | 03:29 |
| uber_noober | navatwo: looks like drained has the same issue | 03:29 |
| queso_ | bankix: use regex somehow? | 03:29 |
| bankix | queso_: The bus number: lsusb | grep "ID 152d:2329" | cut -d":" -f1 |cut -d" " -f2 | 03:29 |
| Drained | oh god, not someone else too! | 03:30 |
| navatwo | uber_noober: where? | 03:30 |
| bankix | queso_: And the device number: lsusb | grep "ID 152d:2329" | cut -d":" -f1 |cut -d" " -f4 | 03:30 |
| navatwo | oh | 03:30 |
| navatwo | :P | 03:30 |
| Drained | CURSE U OPENGL | 03:30 |
| navatwo | Drained: mind helping me out then> | 03:30 |
| Drained | i have the same problem lol. | 03:30 |
| bankix | queso_: Where "152d:2329" is the USB vendor/product ID of your wireless stick. | 03:30 |
| Drained | After struggling all day to install the driver without Xorg config messing up, i still get openGL error's ha.. | 03:30 |
| queso_ | bankix: so cool, thanks so much. | 03:31 |
| Drained | What's the command in the terminal too check if your graphics card can handle opengl? | 03:31 |
| bankix | queso_: You may insert a space before the last "cut" if you like. | 03:31 |
| Drained | my gpu CAN it supports 2.0 but idk. | 03:31 |
| commodore256 | I got opengl 1.2 | 03:31 |
| commodore256 | that sucks | 03:31 |
| bankix | queso_: Ah, I forgot: You'll have to put the result into a variable: | 03:32 |
| frisc0 | uber_noober, permission is fine on the flash disk. /media/disk is rwx for my_user and group is root. Any other suggestions? | 03:32 |
| Drained | so ne1 know the Grep command thing in terminal to display graphics card support? | 03:32 |
| bankix | queso_: varname=$(commandline) | 03:32 |
| queso_ | bankix: I don't know script etiquette . . is this a script that will be designed to run by root? | 03:32 |
| ctmjr | Drained glxinfo | grep render | 03:32 |
| bankix | queso_: The script must run as root because of the echo to the sysfs-file. | 03:32 |
| Drained | ctmjr: thank you kind sire. | 03:32 |
| Drained | WOAH? | 03:32 |
| Drained | Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". | 03:32 |
| Drained | i get spammed that for infinate amount of lines | 03:33 |
| uber_noober | frisc0: i'm sorry ... are you having issues w/ read/write/execute or what | 03:33 |
| queso_ | bankix: after I have the script complete, where is the standard place to put something like this, and where do I add it so it runs at boot? | 03:33 |
| Drained | anyone know how to fix that lol? | 03:33 |
| bankix | queso_: And you'll have to get rid of the leading zeros in the busnumber/devicenumber: $varname=${varname##0} | 03:34 |
| frisc0 | uber_noober, I can't write to the flash disk even though chmod is rwx for user some_user. Write also failing for flash disk on windows too. | 03:34 |
| uber_noober | Drained: you can try to reconfigure X with sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg. Back up first tho | 03:34 |
| Drained | how do i backup ? | 03:35 |
| frisc0 | could the flash drive be corrupted? | 03:35 |
| bankix | queso_: You could put it in /usr/local/sbin, or /usr/sbin. To have it called at boot time is a very very different thing... | 03:35 |
| ctmjr | Drained: it seems glx is not loading look in here for configuration options man nvidia-xconfig | 03:35 |
| uber_noober | Drained: just copy current xorg file to xorgfilename.bak | 03:35 |
| bankix | queso_: The _right_ way would be to write an udev rule where the autosuspend is disabled when the stick is inserted or detected. | 03:35 |
| Drained | nvidia-xconfig <== configures X i belive | 03:35 |
| uber_noober | frisc0: what's the filesystem type? | 03:36 |
| Drained | which always crashes my X lol | 03:36 |
| bankix | queso_: But not this night..... | 03:36 |
| frisc0 | uber_noober, flash disk is vfat. | 03:36 |
| Drained | oh, goodie ctmjr: i have errors :) | 03:36 |
| queso_ | bankix: write a udev rule? okay, I'll keep that in mind for the future. for now, I can just run the script after I boot (which presumably won't be often if turning autosuspend off solves my problem) | 03:36 |
| Drained | ctmjr: this is my output http://pastebin.ca/1518678 | 03:37 |
| uber_noober | frisc0: try setting the uid to 1000 | 03:37 |

| queso_ | bankix: thanks again so much for your help, you've been quite thorough in your setting me off in the right direction. and I'm not so frightened by scripts anymore, lol | 03:38 |
| bankix | queso_: For now, call the script before "exit 0" in /etc/rc.local. | 03:38 |
| Drained | when i ran nvidia-xconfig i get this http://pastebin.ca/1518678 | 03:39 |
| ctmjr | Drained: can you paste your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file | 03:39 |
| Drained | yeah sure | 03:39 |
| mdg | gogeta: ??? | 03:39 |
| uber_noober | frisc0: sudo mount /dev/sdb /media/disk -o iocharset=utf8,umask=000,uid=1000 wheresdb is your flash drive and disk is your mount point | 03:39 |
| bankix | queso_: But first test it as root for a few times by calling it from commandline and checking the content of the autosuspend file. | 03:39 |
| beep | mountainsun: a silly question: do you have the right permissions on the mount point (not the device) | 03:39 |
| beep | ? | 03:39 |

| ctmjr | Drained: no still here where did you get the driver from? | 03:52 |
| Drained | The "hardware drivers" | 03:53 |
| Drained | in sys>admin> | 03:53 |
| perturbed | what does this command do .... dpkg --get-selections | grep deinstall$ | cut -f1 | xargs sudo dpkg --purge | 03:53 |
| perturbed | help me please | 03:53 |
| Drained | ctmjr: how do i uninstall the driver, maybe a fresh install of the driver will fix it. | 03:53 |
| ctmjr | Drained: in the hardware tab where you installed them from | 03:54 |
| perturbed | anybody with the answer ? | 03:54 |
| mountainsun | i agree, or uncheck the box in add remove progrms | 03:55 |
| ayy | jayapura | 03:55 |
| Drained | everything started when i downloaded the drivers from nvidia's site. | 03:55 |
| Drained | X config kept getting screwed up :\ | 03:55 |
| ctmjr | Drained: you installed the hardware drivers and the drivers from nvidia? | 03:55 |
| Casey | i'm moving files on my ubuntu from one harddrive to anothere and some of the files don't copy and says input/output error what should I do? | 03:56 |

| Shu | Can anyone help me? | 03:56 |
| tubunu | i installed gnome on ubuntu and would like to remove some programs like ekiga, gnome-games, etc. when i try it says it will uninstall gnome o.o any thoughts? | 03:56 |
| Drained | the hardware drivers tab would give me "backend problem" so i used nvidia's those failed, and i used the backup xconfig that fixed X | 03:56 |
| ctmjr | Drained: without uninstalling one first? | 03:56 |
| Drained | then i was able to install 180's | 03:56 |
| bruenig | tubunu: that is a flaw in apt | 03:56 |
| Shu | Is everyone asking for help here? | 03:57 |
| Drained | i don't think the one from nvidia was installed. | 03:57 |
| === Shu is now known as Shoe | ||
| tubunu | bruenig: so they can't be removed at all? | 03:57 |
| Casey | what you guys think/ | 03:57 |
| bruenig | tubunu: apt doesn't have the ability to group packages, so ubuntu gets around it by creating hackish meta-packages that poorly emulate groups but lead to dependency screw ups like the one you are experiencing. If it just says it will uninstall "gnome", then it is safe. As gnome is just one such metapackage. | 03:57 |
| Yud_Zroc | i think i am having a problem with flash | 03:57 |
| bruenig | tubunu: if it is trying to uninstall a bunch of stuff that depends on gnome as well, then you have to live with it | 03:58 |

| Drained | Hey Ctmjr do you think a reinstall of ubuntu will help? it's a problem i dont want to go through to fix since ive spent all day trying to fix it. | 03:59 |
| ctmjr | Drained: ok this is what you need to do uninstall everything you installed (nvidia) then run this sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg, then reboot and try the drivers from ubuntu again | 03:59 |

So how can I install the software so I can use this shit? | 03:59 |

| danbhfive | Shoe: possibly | 04:02 |

| Drained | Shoe: what you do is put the CD in go into synpatic manager in system>administration | 04:03 |
| beep | wmirc, It took 5hrs! | 04:03 |
| navatwo | Drained: my card | 04:03 |
| Drained | and scroll to the "n's" under "all" | 04:03 |
| Drained | navatwo, what card you using? | 04:03 |
| driverman | jesus youre scaring me | 04:03 |
| ctmjr | Drained: you said you installed the ubuntu drivers and the drivers from nvidia when did you uninstall them? | 04:03 |
| Drained | shoe: then it will be ndisgtk or something really similar | 04:03 |
| navatwo | Drained: G105M | 04:03 |
| driverman | what are your specs beep? | 04:03 |
| Drained | ctmjr: i don't think they successfully installed. | 04:03 |
| Shoe | I'll look | 04:04 |

| driverman | damn. i had programming to do tonight. | 04:05 |
| mountainsun | Getting permissions denied error 225 | 04:05 |

| driverman | i wonder if i can get gcc for this phone... | 04:05 |
| frisc0 | uber_noober, I tried what you said but I still have the same problem. In the trash I have some application/octet-steam file in it and root as the owner of the file. | 04:05 |
| Drained | Search for Ndisgtk | 04:05 |
| Drained | and if it turns up no result scroll to the "N" parts | 04:05 |
| Drained | and find it manually | 04:05 |
| zachinneed | what does broken dependencies mean any one know | 04:05 |
| Drained | and if it STILL doesn't show up you'll have to add the CD | 04:06 |
| uber_noober | frisc0: Try restoring the file then unmoun the drive | 04:06 |
| Drained | Shoe : Edit "add CD" | 04:06 |
| danbhfive | Shoe: sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 | 04:06 |
| Drained | he can't do that he has no internet connection.. | 04:06 |
| Radtoo | Casey: it could possibly a filesystem issue, but hard disk drives also like to physically fail. | 04:07 |
| danbhfive | Drained: its the same as synaptic... | 04:07 |
| Shoe | I'm adding the CD | 04:07 |
| Drained | no it's not. | 04:07 |
| Drained | if the package doesn't exist because it hasn't been added, it wont find it. | 04:07 |
| Shoe | (it didn't show up on search or manually) | 04:07 |

| Radtoo | Casey: running "smartctl -t long" or equal on the drive could fairly reliably help you determine whether there's a problem with the hardware. | 04:08 |
| navatwo | Drained: join #compiz we are working on finding drivers for nvidia | 04:08 |

| spO | does mplayer or ubuntu have hot keys, like full window or not? | 04:16 |
| danbhfive | !fsck | Casey | 04:16 |
| ubottu | Casey: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 04:16 |
| hisham | Can anyone help me with this '"sh" shell thing? I cant understand it. Isnt the default shell bash in ubuntu?? | 04:16 |
| Shoe | DRAINED | 04:17 |
| firecrotch | hisham: dash is the default shell in Ubuntu now | 04:17 |
| Shoe | danbhfive | 04:17 |
| Casey | ok | 04:17 |
| danbhfive | hisham: I think sh is just a posix compliant shell, ie, less features that bash | 04:17 |
| Drained | Shoe, ndiswrapper is already installed | 04:17 |
| Drained | now you need the .inf and .sys file for your wireless adapter. | 04:17 |
| Shoe | I don't know what that means | 04:17 |
| Shoe | Oh | 04:18 |
| Shoe | So, put the installation CD back in? | 04:18 |
| firecrotch | /bin/sh is dash | 04:18 |
| hisham | danbhfive: so which is good for shell scripting? BASH? CSH? KORN? | 04:18 |
| Drained | yeah you need to find the driver files | 04:18 |
| Drained | not the setup.exe | 04:18 |
| spO | i guess mplayer doesn't allow configuring shortcut keys, but Kmplayer does | 04:19 |
| spO | thus, kmplayer is best mplayer | 04:19 |
| Shoe | What do I put in the terminal again to exit CD? | 04:19 |
| spO | any of you use coreavc with mplayer? | 04:19 |
| Drained | sudo eject | 04:19 |
| Shoe | thank you | 04:19 |
| danbhfive | hisham: I think bash is fairly popular. Most tutorials use bash. beyond that, I dunno. All the shells are supposed to be posix compliant (a standard), so for scripting, it may not matter that much. | 04:19 |

| nefa | Qu4R0w: first you make your ubuntu-partition smaller, than you create a new partition. that's it | 05:18 |
| Qu4R0w | nefa: it will not make corruption on my existing ubuntu? | 05:18 |
| Faethin | No? | 05:18 |
| nefa | Qu4R0w: worked for me, but there is always a risk | 05:18 |
| Qu4R0w | nefa: what risk??boot loader/file? | 05:19 |
| firecrotch | streblo: hmmm you'll probably have to add the paths then to roots python path then | 05:19 |

| nefa | Qu4R0w: just backup the important files in case the resize doesn't work as it should. but as i said, it should work. just don't shut the power down while resizing ;-) | 05:20 |

| Qu4R0w | Shtl: metacity? | 05:25 |
| Mike_lifeguard | Condoulo: I do... I gave / 30GB | 05:25 |
| firecrotch | streblo: you have to be root to edit it :) | 05:25 |
| Shtl | Qu4R0w: no that too | 05:25 |
| Condoulo | Mike_lifeguard, not too far from what I was thinking of - I was thinking of 20GB | 05:25 |
| firecrotch | streblo: or change the permissions on it | 05:25 |
| Condoulo | but 30GB should be fine | 05:25 |
| firecrotch | I don't know if bash throws a fit at a bashrc with the wrong permissions though | 05:26 |
| Mike_lifeguard | Condoulo: yeah, 30 is overkill, I doubt you'll fill 20 any time soon | 05:26 |
| streblo | su: Authentication failure | 05:26 |
| mechtech | can anyone tell me why when I add a song to a playlist using vlc, the song's duration reads as 0:00 and the file won't play | 05:26 |
| Qu4R0w | Shtl: try=compiz --replace | 05:26 |
| mechtech | ? | 05:26 |
| streblo | also, i said chmod 777 /root/.bashrc and i still got the error | 05:26 |
| Mike_lifeguard | Condoulo: I'm using ~7GB right now | 05:26 |
| Shtl | Qu4R0w: compiz not installed | 05:26 |
| Condoulo | Mike_lifeguard, ah, ok. I know most of my space that will be used will be in my /home, so I don't want to give / too much,. | 05:27 |
| Qu4R0w | Shtl: metacity --replace | 05:27 |
| streblo | so apparently bash doesnt like me changing the permissions | 05:27 |

| wcryer | anyone know how to fix an ethernet card that has the correct driver but no ip address | 05:27 |
| streblo | firecrotch, thats starting to dawn on me | 05:27 |
| Qu4R0w | Shtl: metacity is def ubuntu DE | 05:27 |
| Shtl | ok | 05:27 |
| mechtech | wcryer: ifconfig | 05:27 |
| streblo | firecrotch, i'm not doing anything out of the ordinary. i'm trying to open a file for writing in a python script. really, really basic IO. i dont understand why this is such a difficult thing to do. | 05:28 |
| Qu4R0w | Shtl: settle? | 05:28 |
| wcryer | mechtech what can i tell from that, im really new to linux | 05:28 |
| Shtl | the system is in my house, i will check it | 05:28 |
| Qu4R0w | Shtl: ok2.. | 05:28 |
| Shtl | and mouse response is not good at all | 05:29 |
| beep | streblo: if .bashrc is problematic, why not to append those libraries to sys.path ? | 05:29 |
| wcryer | mechtech: under eth0:avahi it shows a self assigned ip | 05:29 |
| Shtl | Qu4R0w: even for single click it perfoms 2 actions | 05:29 |
| Shtl | mouse | 05:29 |
| streblo | beep, it's considered bad form | 05:29 |
| Qu4R0w | Shtl: what action? | 05:29 |
| mechtech | wcryer: open a command terminal and you can read the man pages (manual pages) by typing "man whatever" then enter | 05:30 |
| streblo | firecrotch, this is my script, pretty basic stuff. http://pastebin.com/d40929a10 | 05:30 |
| Shtl | any thing | 05:30 |
| mechtech | wcryer: you want to learn about "interfaces", "ifconfig" and "iwconfig" for wireless | 05:30 |
| Qu4R0w | Shtl: what u mean anything??? | 05:30 |
| mechtech | wcryer: btw...what ip address do you have? | 05:31 |
| streblo | beep, but at this point i'm about to put a fist through my monitor, so i'm going to probably do that | 05:31 |
| firecrotch | streblo: ok, so lets go back to basics.... the user that your script runs as must have write access to the file. Does it work on a file owned by your user? | 05:31 |
| Shtl | for ex : on desktop when i rt click and select any options, it perfoms that and their remains a white patch behind | 05:32 |
| wcryer | mechtech: the one it shows for the eth0:avahi is 169.....that business and in the graphic interface it just shows zeros for everything | 05:32 |
| mechtech | wcryer: you mean the gui "Network Manager"? | 05:32 |
| wcryer | mechtech: i dont think its network manager it is just the basic lower right thing in mint | 05:33 |
| streblo | firecrotch, my user apparently does not have write access to the file, because i get an IOError from python telling me that i dont have sufficient priviledges | 05:33 |
| FalconM | how do i change ubuntu terminal color? | 05:33 |
| FalconM | the font | 05:34 |
| leaf-sheep | FalconM: Right-click on the terminal and change it. | 05:34 |
| mechtech | wcryer: not familiar with mint...does it look like wifi signal strength bars? | 05:34 |
| FalconM | leaf-sheep: im sshing to a unbuntu machine.. | 05:34 |
| wcryer | mechtech: it looks like a LAN in windows, overlapping screens | 05:35 |
| streblo | firecrotch, this is my error http://pastebin.com/d763933ce | 05:35 |
| Qu4R0w | Shtl: at ur home dir,del .gnome and .gconf | 05:35 |
| mechtech | wcryer: click on it and tell me what you see | 05:35 |
| streblo | i assume that means i dont have sufficient privileges to either read, write, or create a file in /var/www | 05:35 |
| leaf-sheep | FalconM: I see. I'd google for that one myself. Let me see if I can find you something. | 05:35 |
| myself | two myself | 05:36 |
| firecrotch | streblo: what about when you try to write to a file that you know that your user can write to? or changing the file permissions to all you to write to it? | 05:36 |
| Shtl | i should delete files .gnome and .gconf??? | 05:36 |
| Qu4R0w | Shtl: that will make ur gnome is fresh/default | 05:36 |
| streblo | firecrotch, what i'd like to do is just say 'Let user x have permission to read/write/create files in /var/www' | 05:37 |
| Shtl | Qu4R0w: those will be in /home/user/??? | 05:37 |
| wcryer | mechtech: i see how retarded i am, ive been fricken right clicking this entire time | 05:37 |
| Qu4R0w | Shtl: yah | 05:37 |
| Qu4R0w | Shtl: that will make ur gnome is fresh/default | 05:37 |
| wcryer | mechtech: even have my wireless card now, fml | 05:37 |
| mechtech | any body know why when I add a song to a playlist in VLC, the durations reads 0:00 and the file won't play? | 05:37 |
| wcryer | thanks | 05:37 |
| Shtl | ok after deleting i have to restart??? | 05:37 |
| streblo | so that when i run the file with my user, python wont yell at me saying 'Hey, your system wont let me create this file, wtf?' | 05:38 |
| mechtech | wcryer: no problem? | 05:38 |
| Qu4R0w | yah..reboot..try | 05:38 |
| mechtech | wcryer...meant . | 05:38 |
| mezquitale | mechtech, you have all the drivers installed to play multimedia like mp3, wav, etc? | 05:38 |
| firecrotch | streblo: The best way to do that would be to add the user to the GROUP that owns the file, and give the group full permissions | 05:38 |
| streblo | firecrotch, thats what i was trying to do before. how do i determine which group owns the file? | 05:38 |
| julio_ | can anyone tell me how to booy a live ubuntu in text mode??? | 05:38 |
| streblo | i assume after that i have to add it to the group in /etc/group | 05:39 |
| wcryer | mechtech: yeah im good, thanks for your help, any pointers on setting up samba and whatever the print server thing is called | 05:39 |
| mechtech | mezguitale: yes...I can play the files if I open the file itself, and I've been making playlists for days already, just suddenly today I can't | 05:39 |
| streblo | and then i also assume, just by the flow of my luck tonight, that python is still going to barf all over me | 05:39 |
| firecrotch | streblo: ls -la 4th column is the group | 05:39 |
| streblo | and that this arcane problem will never solve itself, and that i will go home tonight and will seriously reconsider whether or not i want to write software full time for the rest of my life | 05:40 |

| leaf-sheep | FalconM: Can't find anything about it but I stumbled onto bunch of cool terminal colors. Not related to your question, of course. | 05:42 |
| julio_ | can anyone tell me how to booy a live ubuntu in text mode??? | 05:42 |
| firecrotch | streblo: that's weird... that also says to me that the file is owned by root? | 05:42 |
| Shtl | Qu4R0w: Edubuntu bootable CD is not their??? | 05:42 |
| mechtech | wcryer: don't know much about samba...haven't used it, but the CUPS setup is what you want for setting up your printer...you'll need the ip address if your printer is networked, and for multi function devices, you'll most definitely need the appropriate software | 05:43 |

| Guest6349 | hi. im using 9.04 and i created a usb startup disk by using "USB Startup Disk Creator" and chose the "persistent" thing. how come it doesnt save settings? | 05:44 |
| streblo | i cant do really simple things like mv and touch | 05:44 |
| streblo | with my user | 05:44 |
| streblo | i have to sudo every time i want to move a file | 05:44 |
| firecrotch | streblo: it just strikes me as odd that you'd have the file owned by root | 05:44 |
| Qu4R0w | Shtl: yah..that is edubuntu | 05:44 |
| streblo | cant i just give my god damn user better privileges? | 05:44 |
| streblo | i feel like i'm working inside of a playpen | 05:44 |
| Shtl | yes i said same | 05:44 |
| firecrotch | streblo: The closest thing to what you're looking to do would be to enable the root account, which is HIGHLY discouraged | 05:45 |
| leaf-sheep | Guest6349: I don't remember the "Persistent" option in USB Startup Disk Creator. | 05:45 |
| leaf-sheep | !usb | Guest6349 | 05:46 |
| ubottu | Guest6349: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 05:46 |
| streblo | ive never been unable to mv with my regular user account | 05:46 |
| duckwars | In .rtorrent.rc the line "directory = /stuff/bittorents" means that the finished files will go to /stuff/bittorents or that while the torrents are downloading they will be in /stuff/bitorents or both? | 05:46 |
| streblo | i have two servers here, one of them lets me do perfectly normal things like mv | 05:46 |
| streblo | the other only restricts me to the most basic commands | 05:46 |
| leaf-sheep | Guest6349: I think USB Startup Disk Creator are the other thing. Install Ubuntu via USB flash drives. | 05:46 |
| streblo | i cant freaking mkdir without sudo-ing first | 05:46 |
| streblo | my s-u-d-o keys are going to wear out | 05:47 |
| firecrotch | streblo: if you're working with files/directories that you don't have permission to do those things with, that's going to happen | 05:47 |
| leaf-sheep | streblo: "ls -al ~/" is owned by your username + group? | 05:47 |
| crdlb | streblo: I'm pretty sure /var/www is supposed to be owned by the www-data group, or something like that, which you can add yourself to | 05:47 |
| Guest6349 | leaf-sheep: i'll look some more on ubuntu forums. thank you. | 05:47 |
| boonyo | is it a good idea to have a "volatile" sources in the sources.list file if i'm running a firewall? | 05:47 |
| streblo | leaf-sheep, correct, its owned by my user | 05:47 |
| firecrotch | streblo: you *could* do "sudo su -l" which will give you a terminal as the root user | 05:48 |
| isilion | how to add a command like /opt/lampp/lampp start to the boot sequence? bum not allows me to add new commands | 05:48 |
| firecrotch | streblo: again though, not recommended | 05:48 |
| leaf-sheep | streblo: Group too? | 05:48 |
| streblo | firecrotch, what i'd like to do is what crdlb suggested, which is to add myself to the group that controls the files in /var/www so that i can create files there | 05:48 |
| crdlb | leaf-sheep: I don't think he's having any problems with ~, only /var/www | 05:49 |
| firecrotch | streblo: everything in /var/www SHOULD be owned by www-data and group www-data | 05:49 |
| leaf-sheep | crdlb: Ahh I see. That's root. :3 | 05:49 |
| harryantix | is there a mepis or antic xchat??? | 05:49 |
| leaf-sheep | harryantix: What do you mean? | 05:50 |
| streblo | i'm adding my user to www-data in that case | 05:50 |
| firecrotch | streblo: sudo usermod -G www-data -a <user> should add you to the proper group for working with files in /var/www (you'll need to log out and back in) | 05:50 |

| crdlb | streblo: apparently root is the default, but you can change it with chown (-R). the reason seems to be that it prevents a hijacked cgi script from deleting your webpages (apache running as www-data won't be able to delete something owned by root) | 06:03 |
| curtis_ | Condoulo: I'd suggest reburning the ISO (sometimes they can be annoying just for shits and giggles) and trying again, if you still have a problems it is either the drive, you not being 64-bit compatible for some piece of hardware, or something I've never heard of | 06:03 |
| leaf-sheep | Condoulo: Did you ran md5sum after you download an ISO? | 06:04 |
| leaf-sheep | !md5sum | Condoulo | 06:04 |
| ubottu | Condoulo: To verify the integrity of a download, use the md5sum - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM for more | 06:04 |
| Condoulo | leaf-sheep, no =/ normally I haven't had this issue | 06:04 |
| Condoulo | curtis_, well, all my hardware should be 64-bit compatible | 06:04 |
| leaf-sheep | Condoulo: How do you know if you don't have corrupted ISO? :) | 06:04 |
| curtis_ | leaf-sheep: That's going to help a lot, since it's mostly the plethora of passwords that I hate typing in that's the issue here | 06:05 |
| curtis_ | netsplit? | 06:05 |
| Shu | danbhfive | 06:06 |
| Shu | shit | 06:06 |
| Shu | Can someone help me? | 06:06 |
| leaf-sheep | curtis_: Just copy .mozilla to other *nix at first install, then you'll have everything. Use XMarks to sync passwords + bookmarks. You'll have minimal problems. Also, I hate some XMark features that "ads" all over you. Just toggle them off. | 06:06 |
| Condoulo | if it fails this time around I'm re-burning the disc =. | 06:06 |
| leaf-sheep | Shu: Only if you quit saying bad things. What problem? ;o | 06:06 |
| curtis_ | Yeah but leaf-sheep the problem is that I have Windows Vista, Windows 7. Mac OSX Leopard, Debian, Ubuntu, and Fedora | 06:07 |
| mezquitale | !ask| Shu | 06:07 |
| ubottu | Shu: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 06:07 |
| leaf-sheep | curtis_: XMarks is Firefox Addon. It seems like you'll have to install extensions manually but that shouldn't be an issue. | 06:07 |
| mezquitale | curtis_, how did you get windows7??? | 06:07 |
| firecrotch | mezquitale: public beta probably | 06:08 |
| Shu | I need to know how to install stuff! Ubuntu is so confusing! Like, when I click install to install the newest version of firefox (or any program for that matter) i'll select run and it will auto choose the program to run it with, then I get an error when I try to run it. Also, the plugins that I need to watch videos from youtube etc. won't download | 06:08 |
| leaf-sheep | firecrotch: I hope so. ^^ | 06:08 |
| viki27 | Hello , how i can findout which type of system i am using (64 bit or 32) from the terminal ? | 06:08 |
| Qu4R0w | Shu: ubuntu is great for that | 06:08 |
| firecrotch | leaf-sheep: I like to assume the best of the members of the Ubuntu community :) | 06:08 |
| Shu | For what, shoving sticks up orifices? | 06:09 |
| crdlb | viki27: dpkg --print-architecture is one way | 06:09 |
| mezquitale | Shu, one step at a time please, first which program would you like to install? | 06:09 |
| Shu | X-Chat | 06:09 |
| streblo | alright, last question for the night | 06:09 |
| Shu | (This is on a different computer form the one with Ubuntu | 06:09 |
| firecrotch | !language > Shu | 06:09 |
| ubottu | Shu, please see my private message | 06:09 |
| leaf-sheep | viki27: uname -a | 06:09 |
| streblo | how can i tell if a process i told crontab to run is actually running? | 06:09 |
| Shu | Didn't know about the language | 06:10 |
| Shu | Sorry | 06:10 |
| firecrotch | streblo: it should show up in the syslog | 06:10 |
| Shu | Anyways, mezquitale, what do I do? | 06:10 |
| Condoulo | the error I get when installing: Errno 30 read-only file system | 06:10 |
| Condoulo | Is that due to a bad dissc ^ | 06:11 |
| Shu | More importantly, what program do I run all of these things with? | 06:11 |
| curtis_ | Shu: type this into a terminal "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install x-chat-gnome | 06:11 |
| ekimmargni | I had jaunty-proposed in sources.list - I've removed that, how can I force (up|down)grade to the jaunty-updates version of everything? | 06:11 |
| leaf-sheep | curtis_: x-chat-gnome is terrible, IMO. ;( | 06:11 |
| Shu | curtis | 06:11 |
| ekimmargni | xchat-gnome is a crime against humanity | 06:11 |
| streblo | firecrotch, this is a dumb question, but where the hell is the syslog? | 06:11 |
| Qu4R0w | leaf-sheep: try konversation | 06:11 |
| Shu | That computer can not have internet while this one does | 06:11 |
| Shu | Does that matter? | 06:11 |
| ekimmargni | whoever had that idea should be banned from contributing to ubuntu without someone looking over their shoulder | 06:12 |
| firecrotch | streblo: same place as all the other logs... /var/log/ | 06:12 |

| curtis_ | also, if you go to System, Administrator, and then Synaptic Package Manager, and begin to type a program in the search bar, you will usually find it and be able to install it from there | 06:12 |
| streblo | firecrotch, oh | 06:12 |
| mezquitale | Shu, first go to "software sources" in "System-->Administration" and enable universe, restricted, and multiverse | 06:12 |

| streblo | this is just a general question, but how the hell do you guys know so much about linux | 06:13 |
| Shu | also | 06:13 |
| Shu | mezquitale, | 06:13 |
| firecrotch | streblo: from using it daily for the past 3 years :) from breaking everything possible and then fixing it | 06:14 |
| Shu | how do I enable universe, restricted, and multiverse? | 06:14 |
| leaf-sheep | streblo: You learn by using linux for everything. | 06:14 |
| streblo | i want to do that, but honestly, i cant even figure out how to run a script | 06:14 |
| Shu | curtis_, what? | 06:15 |
| streblo | its taken me 4 hours to get this script to run, and it still doesnt run | 06:15 |
| leaf-sheep | streblo: I even have linux for my Home Theater PC so I can watch movies on big screen too. If you're curious, google XBMC :) | 06:15 |
| blueocean | @streblo : you should first find a book and start reading :D | 06:15 |
| leaf-sheep | streblo: What script? | 06:15 |
| firecrotch | books are complete crap for learning Linux. Learn by doing. | 06:15 |

| leaf-sheep | Shu: You're new. It makes more sense to install everything from verified servers (for security and cleanness) as oppose to download what you can find out in the wild malicious Internet. | 06:17 |
| wizzer | If i want to upload logs to my computer as a server, could I just use lighttpd? | 06:17 |
| IceCreamPaintJob | o_o | 06:17 |
| mezquitale | Shu, now click on "Add/remove" and install xchat | 06:17 |
| IceCreamPaintJob | k | 06:17 |
| Shu | leaf-sheep, I'm not a down syndromed kid. I'm just new to Ubuntu | 06:18 |
| streblo | leaf-sheep, the script pulls stuff out of our database and then writes it | 06:18 |
| IceCreamPaintJob | can i install vista on my ubuntu? | 06:18 |
| firecrotch | wizzer: That makes no sense at all... lighttpd wouldn't be used to upload anything.... | 06:18 |
| streblo | leaf-sheep, and i'd like this script to be run by cron every morning | 06:18 |
| leaf-sheep | IceCreamPaintJob: Say my nickname. Please. | 06:18 |
| wizzer | No, i mean would lighttpd accept it | 06:18 |
| Mike_lifeguard | IceCreamPaintJob: Do you mean as a dual-boot? or virtualized (the answer is yes to both) | 06:18 |
| leaf-sheep | streblo: See #ubuntu-server too. | 06:18 |

| wizzer | My router has the ability to log to a remote system, I was wondering what I would need on this end for the router to send the logs. | 06:19 |
| streblo | leaf-sheep, no, this problem has no solution, ive determined. the correct solution is to stop writing code and to quit my job | 06:19 |
| IceCreamPaintJob | well firecrotch, look at your nick | 06:19 |
| IceCreamPaintJob | lmao | 06:19 |
| Shu | mezquitale, I just go to download Xchat, save to my desktop,and then what? | 06:19 |
| firecrotch | IceCreamPaintJob: true true | 06:19 |
| leaf-sheep | streblo: Meh. That's not a good solution. Although you'd have more free time now. | 06:19 |
| IceCreamPaintJob | :p | 06:20 |
| mezquitale | wizzer, configure the machine that will be doing the logging with a static ip, then go to your router and configure the IP on the router | 06:20 |
| bucky | wizzer: have your router upload it's logs to /var/www | 06:20 |
| thomthom | Shu, it is in the rpositories | 06:20 |
| setz | hey | 06:20 |
| thomthom | repsotories* | 06:20 |
| streblo | leaf-sheep, ive been trying to get this to run for hours. ive tried everyone's suggestions. i'm out of ideas. at least before i had thoughts about how i could make it work. | 06:20 |
| leaf-sheep | streblo: I don't know about databases. However, #ubuntu-server is slow traffic and people there are more generally knowledge with servers. Just telling you. | 06:20 |
| firecrotch | wizzer: I assume that your router can log to a syslogd server then... you'll need a syslogd service running on your server | 06:20 |
| mezquitale | Shu, you have to be specific in what youre trying to accomplish. Do you want to install software on a machine that is connected to the internet??? | 06:20 |
| wizzer | Ok that's what i needed, couldn't think of syslogd | 06:20 |
| setz | I'm on a fresh install, created a logical volume group and mounted /home to it, and the auto-tab completion within a terminal seems to be broken, foolishly i did not backup the /home/user it gave me, anyone know how to fix that? | 06:21 |
| streblo | leaf-sheep, the issue isnt that i cant connect to our db. the issue is still that i dont have permission to write to a file in /var/www | 06:21 |
| leaf-sheep | streblo: Change the permissions to www-data for user + groups? | 06:21 |
| streblo | leaf-sheep, done that | 06:21 |
| Shu | IIIt's not connected currently, since I'm on my laptop, but if I get off the internet on my laptop I can get onto the internet on my computer | 06:21 |
| streblo | i also added my user to the root and www-data groups | 06:21 |
| Shu | I only have one wirless internet adapter see | 06:21 |
| Shu | and I have no idea what repositories are | 06:22 |
| thomthom | Shu, what is the file type | 06:22 |
| leaf-sheep | streblo: cronjobs are generally done in root admin, I believe. | 06:22 |
| soulse | is there a way to have different background and files in each gnome workspace? | 06:22 |
| firecrotch | Shu: If you have a crossover cable (or a switch or hub and 2 patch cables) you could pull off some networking trickery and allow both to access the net at the same time... | 06:22 |
| mezquitale | OK so disconnect your laptop and connect the laptop that needs the software, that is the easiest way. If you want to do it your way I will give you a hint, you need to download the .deb package for xchat. | 06:22 |
| blueocean | Shu try to manually download essentials package from internet or use a DVD instead :s | 06:22 |
| leaf-sheep | streblo: If you're running this (not in root), then that's problem because you don't want any intervenes in first place. | 06:23 |
| Shu | Oh my god | 06:23 |
| Shu | I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT | 06:23 |
| thahauss | can some1 please help me with a harddrive space issue im having in jaunty? i have a raid 5 array with total usable space of 2.7TB, when i right click the array and go to properties it shows "contents, 50,439 items, totalling 633.2GB", then below it shows 949.1GB used, why the discrepancy? | 06:23 |
| streblo | leaf-sheep, when i run this in root i get an import error | 06:23 |
| streblo | when i run it with my default user, i get an io error | 06:23 |
| streblo | the import error also baffles me | 06:23 |
| streblo | because the python paths are identical for both users | 06:23 |
| Shu | I just got Ubuntu today, and have practically no knowledge of it, only that someone reccommended that I use it because it speeds up my computer | 06:23 |
| mezquitale | Shu, how did you install xchat on your laptop? | 06:23 |
| robertrahardja | hi all | 06:24 |
| robertrahardja | just trying xchat | 06:24 |
| robertrahardja | :0 | 06:24 |
| robertrahardja | :) | 06:24 |
| FloodBot1 | robertrahardja: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 06:24 |
| th0r | Shu: you do not download and then install packages in ubuntu like you did in windows. You access a library called a repository and the software is automatically downloaded and installed from those. | 06:24 |
| leaf-sheep | streblo: I don't know python myself. :3 | 06:24 |
| Shu | I have windows on my laptop. I just downloaded, and then installed when the installer was downloaded to my desktop | 06:24 |
| bucky | Shu it helps if you log on to #ubuntu with ubuntu | 06:24 |
| leaf-sheep | streblo: You google the import error yet? Jw. | 06:25 |
| Shu | Well, I cant really do that since I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DOWNLOAD IT! | 06:25 |
| bucky | Shu: if you can't figure out your wireless adapter in ubuntu try googling for a solution then come back | 06:25 |
| streblo | leaf-sheep, the import error suggests that a library that i'm trying to import is not being found, which means its not in my python path. however, my .bashrc files for both users are identical | 06:25 |
| Shu | bucky, I hate you | 06:25 |
| rww | !google | bucky | 06:25 |
| ubottu | bucky: While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. | 06:25 |
| thomthom | menu>ad, remove programs, do a search for xcaht | 06:25 |
| Shu | My internet already works on ubuntu. I had another guy walk me through it | 06:25 |
| streblo | leaf-sheep, both .bashrc files append my libraries to the python path, yet the superuser cant find them | 06:26 |
| mezquitale | Shu, turn on your other machine with ubuntu and go over the things I just described. With ubuntu you dont have to download anything and run an "exe" file. All you have to do is go to "add/remove" search for xchat and install the software, it is really that easy | 06:26 |
| Shu | Wait wait wait | 06:26 |
| === gaurav_ is now known as Guest10457 | ||

| Shu | mezquitale, if I go to, say, download Xchat from a link on the internet, I would click save to desktop, then after it finishes putting it onto my desktop, I go to add/remove, select XChat, and then....? | 06:27 |
| WIGGMPk | I recently noticed that my CPU usages is out of hand.

| bucky | streblo: so did you source .bashrc to enable the change? | 06:28 |
| leaf-sheep | streblo: Try placing the script in /home/myuser/bin | 06:28 |
| leaf-sheep | streblo: I know they do accept /home/myuser/bin/ already. | 06:28 |
| leaf-sheep | streblo: Configuring is always tricky. | 06:28 |
| Condoulo | do you think trying to separate / with /home will caues issues w/ permissions and installing Ubuntu 64-bit? | 06:29 |
| firecrotch | Condoulo: having / and /home on separate partitions shouldn't cause any sort of permissions issue | 06:29 |
| mezquitale | Shu, no. You are not listening. In order to install software you can do it 2 ways. One, connect your machine to the internet then go to "add/remove" and install whatever you want. The other choice is to download the "exe" file for ubuntu, which is a ".deb" file. If you want to download the ".deb" file go to google and download the ".deb" file for xchat. Once you have the ".deb" file for xchat all you have to do is copy it to yo | 06:29 |
| mezquitale | ur system and click on it and it will install, just like wincrap | 06:29 |
| Condoulo | firecrotch, weird them. | 06:29 |
| leaf-sheep | !home | Condoulo | 06:29 |
| ubottu | Condoulo: Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome | 06:29 |
| Condoulo | *then | 06:29 |
| thomthom | condoulo, no I am running 64 bit with seperate boot / and /home | 06:29 |
| leaf-sheep | Condoulo: It's just bunch of personal files + configuration files. Should be okay. | 06:29 |
| Condoulo | leaf-sheep, well, I keep getting issues errors such as "errno 30" | 06:30 |
| Shu | mezquitable, does the add/remove act like a internet search? Because if not, how could it install a program I havent already downloaded? | 06:30 |
| firecrotch | Shu: It downloads a list of all of the software that is available | 06:31 |
| nefa | Shu: add/remove downloads it for you, then it installs it for you | 06:31 |
| leaf-sheep | Condoulo: Error 30 in where? Grub? | 06:31 |
| Condoulo | leaf-sheep, no, in the installer | 06:31 |
| Shu | Well, thats what I needed to know. So if I'm connected to the internet, just search for any program I desire in add/remove and it will search the internet for me (just to be clear) | 06:32 |
| mezquitale | Shu, you are not listening. | 06:32 |
| Medic | If I install the ubuntu xen desktop package will that give me xen vm desktop capabilities? | 06:32 |

| firecrotch | Shu: Yes. That's basically how it works. | 06:32 |
| streblo | leaf-sheep, no luck | 06:32 |
| nefa | Shu: it doesn't search the internet, it connects to a ubuntu-server, where the software is stored | 06:32 |
| streblo | i had to create /home/myuser/bin | 06:32 |
| mezquitale | Shu, i know youre just as surprised as I am but it's actually quite possible, not matter how much bill told you that it's not | 06:33 |
| Condoulo | leaf-sheep, I'll restart the installer, This is from another disc I burned a while back that had worked before on another system | 06:33 |
| Shu | bill.....? | 06:33 |
| rww | Shu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories is a pretty good read on this subject. | 06:33 |

| lasj | k2en_: /usr/share/pixmaps/ | 06:34 |
| mezquitale | Shu, connect your machine to the internet, go to "add/remove", search for the software that you want, and ubuntu will install it for you, no need to google for the file, download it, click on it, install it, nothing. Just connect your machine to the internet, go to "add/remove", and install, that's it!! No gimmicks!! No fraud!!! | 06:34 |
| firecrotch | Condoulo: Errno 30 during the install usually indicates that your hard drive is failing | 06:34 |
| Mike_lifeguard | suigeneris: syndaemon is probably better and easier | 06:34 |

| Condoulo | firecrotch, I honestly hope not. =/ | 06:35 |
| leaf-sheep | streblo: Sorry I can't really figure out how I can't help you. Also, I mentioned going to #ubuntu-server -- Not a lot of supports there and really slow traffic. If people know the answer, they'll tell you. | 06:35 |

| firecrotch | Condoulo: The problem is likely more serious than a few bad sectors | 06:36 |
| suigeneris | Mike_lifeguard, it was also telling me to add syndaemon to startup programs. but it's useless I think without the change in xorg.conf | 06:36 |
| Condoulo | firecrotch, my HDD sounds healthy =/ | 06:36 |
| Shu | Oh, right. Well, now that I know how I'll go install xchat on my ubuntu machine | 06:36 |
| Shu | be back in a few | 06:36 |
| Mike_lifeguard | suigeneris: I don't think that's true | 06:36 |
| * bucky waves | 06:36 | |
| k2en_ | lasj, there is something called "backgrouds " in there but its not the 3 wallpapers gnome offers in "appearance" | 06:36 |
| thahauss | my raid5 array's properties shows "contents 50,575 items, totaling 647.3GB" then the pie chart and data to the right of it says "963.1GB" used, why the discrepancy?' | 06:37 |
| Mike_lifeguard | suigeneris: I certainly don't have anything in xorg.conf yet it works | 06:37 |
| suigeneris | Mike_lifeguard, from the page: Type in the following: syndaemon -i 1 -d | 06:37 |
| firecrotch | Condoulo: Is your hard drive an IDE hard drive and your disc drive SATA? | 06:37 |
| Condoulo | firecrotch, no, both my optical drive and my Hard Drive are SATA | 06:37 |
| Condoulo | copying files at 76% | 06:38 |
| Mike_lifeguard | suigeneris: yes... and? | 06:38 |
| dirtbag666 | hi there | 06:38 |
| === Hamlin is now known as Hamlin|DEAD | ||
| === Hamlin- is now known as Hamlin | ||
| suigeneris | Mike_lifeguard, so, that is true | 06:39 |
| Condoulo | now its at Creating user - hopefully it actually installs. last time I only ran into issues while Copying Files | 06:39 |
| dirtbag666 | does anyone have any ideas on receiving icecasts with mplayer? mplayer http://192.168.178.22 and mplayer ...adress:8000 won't work :-( | 06:39 |
| lordhedg1hog | Help! The Package Manager was updating a bunch of packages with the system crashed. Now firefox and liferea segfault on loading... | 06:39 |
| Mike_lifeguard | suigeneris: That has nothing to do with xorg.conf | 06:39 |
| lordhedg1hog | I've tried reinstalling firefox without luck | 06:39 |
| dirtbag666 | lordhedg1hog: tried sudo apt-get install --reinstall firefox? | 06:40 |
| dirtbag666 | (or similar) | 06:40 |
| lordhedg1hog | Yes, didn't help at all. | 06:40 |
| firecrotch | Condoulo: the fact that is seems to be working now indicates to me that it's most likely a hardware issue. Maybe the optical drive is bad. | 06:41 |
| dirtbag666 | any error message? | 06:41 |
| suigeneris | Mike_lifeguard, on the first section of the page, there's the things to put in xorg.conf | 06:41 |
| lordhedg1hog | No, I just get a segmentation fault if I load either from cli | 06:41 |
| Mike_lifeguard | suigeneris: I'm sure that's exactly what the page says. I'm saying the page is almost certainly wrong. | 06:41 |
| dirtbag666 | I meant error message after apt-get install | 06:41 |
| lordhedg1hog | dirtbag666: No, it reinstalls just fine. | 06:42 |
| firecrotch | lordhedg1hog: what part of the install process did Synaptic crash during? | 06:42 |
| devians | on the cli, how can i determine what items of hardware have driver issues so i can resolve them? | 06:42 |
| lordhedg1hog | firecrotch: It said the acroread update hash didn't match, then the entire system froze solid | 06:42 |
| lordhedg1hog | firecrotch: There were a lot of updates, tho', including firefox, that finished installing after reboot | 06:43 |
| k2en_ | guys anyone knows where hardy places the 'wallapers' folder at? | 06:43 |
| lasj | k2en_:/usr/share/backgrounds | 06:43 |
| lordhedg1hog | I was wondering if the package manager kept a log of updates it did, so I could purge and reinstall those packages? | 06:44 |
| k2en_ | lasj, thanks | 06:44 |
| jonex_ | i need some orientation ...i want to change my THEME | 06:44 |
| robinro | Hi @all | 06:44 |
| robinro | could someone please tell me which script is handling monitor switching by function-key (fn-f7 with my thinkpad) under jaunty? | 06:44 |
| green | #ubuntu-ir | 06:45 |
| firecrotch | lordhedg1hog: there might be something in /var/log/apt/ | 06:45 |
| thomthom | jonex_, right+click on you desktop>change desktop background>themes tab | 06:45 |
| jonex_ | thomthom: but if i wanna install a new one? | 06:46 |
| allen_ | ... | 06:46 |
| firecrotch | lordhedg1hog: or /var/log/dpkg.log | 06:46 |
| lordhedg1hog | term.log seems to log the complete output, I'm scanning it for errors now | 06:46 |
| devians | if i plug into a usb drive into a headless system, does it automount/how do i mount it | 06:47 |
| thomthom | drag and drop the tar.gz file to the themes area | 06:47 |
| Medic | ok can someone tell me if ubuntu-xen-desktop will give me a xen kernel? | 06:47 |
| suigeneris | Mike_lifeguard, oh, it had different instructions for intrepid and later | 06:48 |
| Shoe | Okay, I'm on my Ubuntu computer | 06:48 |
| firecrotch | devians: sudo mount /dev/sdxy /mountpoint where x and y are the appropriate letter/number for the device | 06:49 |
| gartral | its a bad thing when your software buffer bottoms out on writing a cd, isnt it? | 06:49 |
| Shoe | mezquitale, | 06:50 |
| Shoe | I'm back | 06:50 |
| firecrotch | gartral: Yes | 06:50 |
| lordhedg1hog | firecrotch: I see nothing bad in the logs. | 06:50 |
| Shoe | Now, my only question was the one about how to install the plugins for youtube and such | 06:50 |
| leaf-sheep | Shoe: sudo aptitude install flashplugin-nonfree | 06:51 |
| gartral | firecrotch: even with a drive that caches data and has logical tracking? | 06:51 |
| zachinneed | hey evryone lol i need help still with adobe flash | 06:51 |
| thomthom | add/remove and search for flash | 06:51 |
| zachinneed | or any kind of flash | 06:51 |
| firecrotch | lordhedg1hog: maybe try sudo apt-get purge firefox && apt-get install firefox | 06:51 |
| lordhedg1hog | firecrotch: I'll try it, as1 | 06:51 |
| firecrotch | lordhedg1hog: that will completely remove the firefox package and redownload it | 06:51 |
| unperson | Hi, I'm trying to get my microphone to work on my Jaunty system. How should I have things setup in volume control in order to record from my microphone? | 06:51 |
| unperson | There are so many options, and some are a bit ambiguous. | 06:52 |
| zachinneed | ya i did that and it installed | 06:52 |
| mezquitale | !ask |Shoe | 06:52 |
| ubottu | Shoe: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 06:52 |
| zachinneed | but web sites are still not working | 06:52 |
| leaf-sheep | zachinneed: The web sites are broken. :( | 06:52 |
| zachinneed | lol | 06:53 |
| mezquitale | Shoe, another way to install flash is to go to youtube.com and then click on the link where it tells you to download flash, click on the link and run it, an application will pop up and you select to install it, it's that easy | 06:53 |
| lordhedg1hog | firecrotch: No luck. Tried the same with firefox-3.0 package also didn't work | 06:53 |
| leaf-sheep | zachinneed: Did you close Firefox and restart? | 06:53 |
| Shoe | tried that | 06:53 |
| thomthom | leaf-sheep, have you seen that youtube video :The Website is down" | 06:53 |
| Shoe | Doesn't work | 06:53 |
| Condoulo | how would I do something similar to a disk check on Ubuntu? | 06:53 |
| leaf-sheep | thomthom: Maybe. I'm not sure. | 06:53 |
| Shoe | That was my original problem | 06:53 |
| lordhedg1hog | firecrotch: Based on the logs, the only things that updated were firefox, acroread, and a bunch of libboost libs | 06:53 |
| Shoe | Ugh | 06:53 |
| Shoe | I'll just search for flash | 06:54 |
| zachinneed | yes i closed it | 06:54 |
| ibrar | Is there any command to unplug usb modem | 06:54 |
| zachinneed | and now it says that a file or something is broken | 06:54 |
| thomthom | Fx has to be closed fo it to install correctly | 06:54 |
| zachinneed | does that sound right | 06:54 |
| leaf-sheep | zachinneed: 32 or 64? | 06:54 |
| zachinneed | 32 | 06:54 |
| leaf-sheep | zachinneed: What or who say? The website? The terminal? | 06:54 |
| zachinneed | my computer says | 06:55 |
| firecrotch | lordhedg1hog: have you tried apt-get -f install | 06:55 |
| zachinneed | well hold on and i will tell you what iit says | 06:55 |
| zachinneed | okay | 06:55 |
| mezquitale | Shoe, the way I just told you is easier, some of the flash software youll find in "add/remove" could be buggy, make sure you install the adobe version | 06:55 |
| surgy | hi | 06:55 |
| allen_ | 你好 | 06:55 |
| Condoulo | is there something similar to chkdsk on Linux or anything I can use to find out if my HDD is dying on me? | 06:56 |
| lordhedg1hog | firecrotch: Doesn't help | 06:56 |
| shelah | Hi everyone. I have a printer that OpenPrinting.org lists as a "paperweight", and another that's not listed on there at all. Does this mean that there's no way for me to get these printers to work with Ubuntu? | 06:56 |
| lordhedg1hog | firecrotch: It seems to be installing just fine | 06:56 |
| jtrage | oooo flash issues.. nasty | 06:56 |
| NemesisD | hi, anyone know of a way to get firefox 3.5 on jaunty to replace 3.0? | 06:56 |
| Shoe | mezquitale, when I go to youtube, firefox drops a tab saying I have missing plugins. I click "install missing plugins." Then I click one of the three options, go to install it, and I get an error | 06:56 |
| * NemesisD hates firefox 3.0 | 06:56 | |
| jtrage | Nemesis: dont replace it, just install 3.5 and use it instead | 06:57 |
| ibrar | I have an kernel module "ztemt.ko" | 06:57 |
| thomthom | https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-daily/+archive/ppa | 06:57 |
| firecrotch | Condoulo: If your hard drive supports SMART, smartmontools can tell you the status of your hard drive | 06:57 |
| mezquitale | Shoe, go to "add/remove" and install "Macromedia Flash Plugin" | 06:57 |
| Shoe | Thank you | 06:57 |
| firecrotch | Condoulo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Smartmontools | 06:57 |
| ibrar | Whenever I try to install | 06:57 |
| ibrar | getting error insmod: error inserting '/home/ibrar/Desktop/zte/usr/local/bin/ztemtEVDO/ztemt.ko': -1 Invalid module format | 06:57 |
| shelah | Both printers work fine on Windows, but the manufacturers don't support Linux, and I can't find Linux drivers... is there any way I can get these to work? maybe through wine (or something else) using the Windows drivers? | 06:58 |
| leaf-sheep | NemesisD: ls -l firefox* (I'm sure you can figure out the rest, I hope). | 06:58 |
| leaf-sheep | NemesisD: Err... in /usr/bin/ | 06:58 |
| firecrotch | shelah: What models are the printers? | 06:58 |
| leaf-sheep | zachinneed: This probably should solve your issue with Flash --> http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-install-flash-player-10.html | 06:59 |
| firecrotch | shelah: also, I've known OpenPrinting.org to be completely wrong in the past | 06:59 |
| Shoe | mezquitale, what do I use? All available applications? All open source applications, etc? | 06:59 |
| zachinneed | okay im back i whent to the adobe web site downloaded the newest version and it whent along good untill install then it comes up error: dependency is not satisfable: libnspr 4-v | 07:00 |
| theatro | shelah, if you are running CUPS go to http://localhost:631 to config your printers | 07:00 |
| robinro | where do i find the script, that toogles display and is run when pressing fn-f7 on a thinkpad. /etc/acpi/videobtn.sh only does "acpi_fakekey $KEY_VIDEOOUT" | 07:00 |
| shelah | firecrotch: Canon MF5750 and Konica 7145 (the Konica is a $3,000 office printer/copier/etc with half a dozen trays)) | 07:00 |
| mezquitale | use "All available applications" | 07:00 |
| lordhedg1hog | firecrotch: Just noticed it also updated libc6; reinstall that now | 07:00 |
| AnswerGuy | There's an kernel upgrade from 2.6.28-13 to -14? Is there an easy place to find the changelog on the web (the 9.04 system in questions is a customer's, I don't have one handy) | 07:00 |
| shelah | theatro: sorry, don't know what CUPS is, so I'm not using it unless it ships with Ubuntu | 07:00 |
| firecrotch | lordhedg1hog: that could definitely be the cause | 07:00 |
| lordhedg1hog | firecrotch: Darn, no luck there. Forced a redownload and all. | 07:01 |
| NemesisD | leaf-sheep: sudo ln -s /usr/bin/firefox-3.5 /usr/bin/firefox ? | 07:01 |
| leaf-sheep | NemesisD: Sounds about right. You might want to remove firefox first then link it. | 07:01 |
| cyc | hi there | 07:01 |
| lordhedg1hog | firecrotch: I must have a bad lib somewhere since more than one app is segfaulting | 07:01 |
| mezquitale | Shoe, use "All available applications" | 07:01 |
| zachinneed | i dont get it i did everything the same as last time but this time it wont come up | 07:01 |
| Shoe | Well, when I use that, not even Macromedia yields any results mezquitale | 07:02 |
| thomthom | 2.6.31-4-generic #23-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jul 27 18:39:59 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux | 07:02 |
| NemesisD | man acroread is enormous | 07:02 |
| lordhedg1hog | firecrotch: Is there an easy way to see what libs an app is calling, since liferea probably calls far fewer than firefox? | 07:02 |
| cyc | I'm trying to use Evolution for my Exchange mail account ... and it's *really* slow with the folder refreshing. It takes minutes ... Is this normal? | 07:02 |
| KB1JWQ | lordhedg1hog: ldd | 07:02 |
| KB1JWQ | lordhedg1hog: Also ltrace | 07:02 |
| zachinneed | so if i reinstall 8.04 do you think that i would be able to do it right | 07:02 |

| leaf-sheep | Anybody here experienced with git? To update in git folder, I do what? | 07:04 |
| NemesisD | leaf-sheep: what do you mean update in git folder? | 07:04 |
| mezquitale | Shoe, it all depends on your internet connection | 07:04 |
| NemesisD | leaf-sheep: like pull from another repo and merge? | 07:04 |
| mezquitale | you can also install the software using the command line which is a LOT easier, if you want to learn how to do that | 07:05 |
| joel__ | how do you update a shoe? | 07:05 |
| leaf-sheep | NemesisD: I have a git folder and I'd like to sync'd to latest one. I looked up and get "git pull" -- I wanted confirmation. | 07:05 |
| Shoe | you're retarded | 07:05 |
| NemesisD | leaf-sheep: yeah git pull is usually what you want, it does git-fetch and git-merge | 07:05 |

| ubottu | KittyBoots: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository | 07:15 |
| nanotube | KittyBoots: in other words... grab package "sun | 07:15 |
| nanotube | "sun-java6-jre" from the repos. | 07:15 |
| KittyBoots | ok | 07:16 |
| Leviathan185 | i am having issues installing a php plug-in for eclipse can anyone help? | 07:16 |
| gogeta | -1 for me no free internet | 07:16 |
| nanotube | KittyBoots: if this "icloud" thing is a web browser applet, then you also have to install "sun-java6-plugin" (or something like that), to get the plugin in the browser. | 07:17 |
| gogeta | could computing hehe | 07:17 |

| Anarch | My microphone stopped working when I upgraded to Hardy, and has never worked since. Googling and Cuilling haven't found The Clue yet. Any recommended HOWTOs or documents for somebody who doesn't know what 'PCM' stands for but likes the command line? | 07:21 |
| Condoulo | ok, I got this error the install: subprocess post-removal script returned error exist status 30 | 07:21 |
| Condoulo | at 96% | 07:22 |
| bindaas | firecrotch: do i really need samba ,btw i don't have any network ? | 07:22 |
| ShapeShifter499 | I have Ultimate Edition 2.3 AKA Ubuntu 9.04 on my acer aspire one and I put a DVD+RW into my usb drive and I can't seem to use the RW part of my disk, why is that | 07:22 |
| Flannel | !ultimate | ShapeShifter499 | 07:23 |
| ubottu | ShapeShifter499: The following are some examples of Ubuntu derived distributions that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes; please consult their websites for more information: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), Ultimate Edition | 07:23 |
| v1nsai | quick question im having problems with usb transfer speeds how can i tell what speed the system has used when mounting it? I'm reading the bug report for it but it starts in ubuntu 7.10 and it seems to have been moved | 07:23 |
| Leviathan185 | I am new to Linux... What is a .tgz and how do i install its contents | 07:23 |
| Anarch | kasc:Onboard the Intel 965 mobo. | 07:23 |
| firecrotch | bindaas: as far as I know, that's the only way to share files between an XP guest with a Ubuntu host. Even if the machine is not connected to a network, there is a virtual network created between the host and guest | 07:23 |
| gartral | ShapeShifter499: are you sure the diskdrive can handle +RWs? | 07:23 |
| ShapeShifter499 | yes | 07:23 |
| Flannel | ShapeShifter499: Ultimate Edition isn't supported here, you'll need to take it to their support channels. | 07:24 |
| gartral | ShapeShifter499: try clearing the disk with wodim in the terminal.. | 07:24 |
| bindaas | firecrotch: thanks ! | 07:24 |
| ShapeShifter499 | Flannel: common! its basically ubuntu with some add-ons | 07:25 |
| firecrotch | Leviathan185: a .tgz file is a compressed archive, similar to a .zip archive (different compression algorithm). As for installing from one, you should not have to under most circumstances. Nearly all the software that you'll want to install can be found in Add/Remove Programs | 07:25 |
| kamen | where can I find older versions of the fglrx driver? | 07:25 |
| Flannel | ShapeShifter499: No, it's really not. There's some major changes to some of the subsystems. | 07:25 |
| firecrotch | bindaas: You're welcome! :) | 07:25 |
| ShapeShifter499 | Flannel: they don't have support irc channels i don't think | 07:25 |
| ShapeShifter499 | gartral: I'll try that | 07:26 |
| gartral | ShapeShifter499: firstoff.. try wodim -prcap | 07:26 |
| ShapeShifter499 | Flannel: what are some of the changes, I've used ubuntu vanilla(original install) and I haven't seen much difference. | 07:27 |
| ShapeShifter499 | gartral: ok | 07:27 |
| Leviathan185 | firecrotch: I am trying to install eclipse and the version I have installed through add/remove will not allow me to add the php add-on for some reason so I am tryig to install the complete package from pulse | 07:27 |
| Flannel | ShapeShifter499: I don't have them handy, but the guy who keeps it doesn't have the best grasp on best practices. | 07:28 |
| ShapeShifter499 | gartral: I'm getting problems, here--------> http://paste.ubuntu.com/247777/ | 07:30 |
| vital_ | Leviathan185, if you try to install eclipse, I guess you need just unpack archive and start the application from unpacked folder | 07:30 |
| Leviathan185 | vital: please forgive me I am a noob to linux. how do i install once unpacked? | 07:31 |
| firecrotch | omg boxxy | 07:31 |
| Flannel | alucard: Did you follow all of the steps here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP#After%20installing%20MySQL ? | 07:31 |
| gartral | ShapeShifter499: sudo wodim -prcap | 07:31 |
| vital_ | Leviathan185, you can put into filesystem and add it into path | 07:32 |
| ShapeShifter499 | I did that all ready, look at bottom of the link I gave | 07:32 |
| xor | Hi there. | 07:32 |
| Leviathan185 | vital: to which path? | 07:32 |
| vital_ | Leviathan185, but also you can start it directly from unpacked folder without "installing" | 07:33 |
| ShapeShifter499 | gartral: I did that all ready, look at bottom of the link I gave | 07:34 |
| xor | I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 and in my Software Sources I had previously setup "Download from: Server for Portugal". I tried changing it to "Main Server" to see how the speed was, and then the option to download from the Portuguese server vanished. Is there anyway to bring it back? | 07:34 |
| vital_ | Leviathan185, for instance: sudo mkdir -p /opt/sun ; sudo cp <eclipse_unpacked_folder> /opt/sun | 07:34 |
| brand0con | where are bash aliases stored? I've tried .bashrc .profile and a few others but cant seem to figure it out | 07:35 |
| vital_ | Leviathan185, sudo ln -s /opt/sun/eclipse/<start_script_name> /usr/local/bin | 07:35 |
| gartral | ShapeShifter499: did you remember to unmount the disk defore you tryed this? | 07:35 |
| vital_ | Leviathan185, better sudo ln -s /opt/sun/eclipse/<start_script_name> /usr/local/bin/eclipse | 07:35 |
| ShapeShifter499 | gartral: ok hold on...... | 07:35 |
| vital_ | Leviathan185, then you can start it with "eclipse" from shell | 07:36 |
| Innxis | Good day! I have a annoying problem. Everytime I play a game, my PC frezzes. | 07:36 |
| Innxis | I give more details now... | 07:36 |

| Innxis | For example: If I play ATITD (A tale in the Desert) my PC crashes. Everything stops but I can still move the cursor for a while, after that, the cursor freezes as well. | 07:37 |
| Flannel | brand0con: ~/.bashrc and ~/.profiles for user stuffs, global stuff is also in /etc/bash.bashrc | 07:37 |
| ShapeShifter499 | gartral: ok got it to work, now what? am I done | 07:37 |
| ShapeShifter499 | ? | 07:37 |
| PoPpiLLs | /home/user/.bashrc | 07:37 |

| Ileden | The problem is, I have two drives, one that easily fits all the content of the other. I would like to keep the contents of the smaller drive as they are, for later inspection, and empty the drive for other uses. I thought it would be best if I could just get the partitions from the smaller drive as files on the larger drive, so that I could directly mount the files when I need to examine the contents (not having to bother with backup/restore). I don't need to wri | 08:23 |

| Baconizer | About how up-to-date is Ubuntu? | 08:26 |
| SomePerson | can someone help me with getting compiz 3D desktop effects working? | 08:26 |
| Ileden | I guess I could just copy all the files, but I don't want to clutter the files system, and one of the partitions is ntfs so I figure there might be problems with file names and such. | 08:26 |
| Baconizer | On a score of 1 to 10, with '10' being Arch/Fedora and '1' being RHEL | 08:26 |
| geirha | Ileden: You can mount files, yes | 08:26 |
| Ileden | Baconizer: what do you mean up-to-date? | 08:26 |
| Baconizer | Ileden: up-to-date packages | 08:27 |
| Baconizer | Like the latest version of Python and such | 08:27 |
| geirha | Ileden: Are they images of entire drives or one and one partition? | 08:27 |
| Baconizer | I'm gonna try switching over to Ubuntu from Fedora tomorrow | 08:27 |
| Baconizer | I'm just curious | 08:27 |

| === k is now known as Guest20120 | ||
| Ileden | geirha: well right now I have 3 partitions, one of them ntfs, that i would like to copy as files (so I can release the hard disk to other uses) | 08:28 |
| Baconizer | I heard Ubuntu sort of lagged behind in the "latest packages" department, but that was from someone who didn't like Ubuntu ... | 08:28 |
| Baconizer | barg | 08:29 |
| Baconizer | Never mind :P | 08:29 |
| Dulak | Baconizer: compared to debian unstable that's true, but that's not true if you compare to debian stable | 08:29 |
| Ileden | Baconizer: as far as I know it does, but I think you can also make it update to the latest developement build | 08:29 |
| Dulak | Baconizer: it's all about the frame of reference | 08:29 |
| Baconizer | Dulak: I would certainly hope you guys didn't lag behind Debian stable | 08:29 |
| Baconizer | Coming from a former Arch, current Fedora user perspective | 08:30 |
| geirha | Ileden: You could just archive them with tar | 08:30 |
| Baconizer | Both are fairly bleeding-edge | 08:30 |
| Baconizer | Before that, Debian testing | 08:30 |
| Baconizer | Ileden: okay | 08:30 |
| Ileden | geirha: I was thinking about that... but can I then expolre the tar archive by mountin it? and will tar archive work with possible ntfs file naming schemes? | 08:30 |
| geirha | Ileden: cd /media/rootoffs1/; sudo tar zcvf /path/to/store/archive.tar.gz . | 08:31 |
| painted | blah | 08:31 |
| === painted is now known as blah_nub | ||
| HighLordObsi | i'm such a noob :o | 08:31 |
| geirha | Ileden: You can open the archive in the archive manager (by just double-clicking it) and explore what files it contains | 08:32 |
| Baconizer | How is support in the repo for Haskell? | 08:33 |
| Baconizer | At the moment, that's really the only important thing for me to have good support for | 08:33 |
| Ileden | geirha: will this preserve all the possible ntfs stuff (like permission) as well? with direct copying its at least an exact copy? | 08:33 |
| geirha | Ileden: And there shouldn't be a problem taring down the files in an ntfs filesystem. The problem would be with extracting to an ntfs filesystem, since it's very picky about what characters you can have in filenames. ext3 accepts every concievable character in filenames, except / and \0 | 08:33 |
| poc | Is somebody good at linux's kernel | 08:33 |
| Ileden | geirha: there's also the file permissions | 08:34 |

| geirha | Ileden: At any rate, when tar is run as root (with sudo), it will preserve file permissions and ownership | 08:35 |
| daya_ | is there is any pkg for livecd-iso-to-disk | 08:35 |
| geirha | Ileden: NTFS did not have file permissions last time I messed around with such | 08:36 |
| poc | I'm looking for somebody who good at linux's kernel | 08:36 |
| Ileden | geirha: hmm, windows does have a quite extensive permissions system, but it could of course be with windows itself, not with the file system... | 08:36 |
| geirha | Ileden: Yeah, those are some ACLs that linux don't see/support. Don't know if they'll be preserved, so it might be best to copy the NTFS from windows. | 08:37 |
| Dayofswords | poc, freenode has a whole channel just on linux's kernal at ##linux | 08:38 |
| Ileden | geirha: well if I copy the direct partiton, they'll be presereved. I'd really rather not mess around with windows data copying right now :) | 08:38 |
| Ileden | geirha: if there is a way to easily copy the entire partition data, that is. | 08:39 |
| CoUrPsE_CoLlEcTo | My Xchat makes system beeps everytime i press a key, anyone know how to stop this? | 08:39 |
| geirha | Ileden: Right, well, then unmount the drive, and make an image of the drive then. sudo dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/path/to/store/partition.img | 08:40 |
| Mikey^ | Ileden: you can use ghost for linux | 08:40 |
| geirha | Ileden: unmount the windows partition I mean. Then run a dd command like that, replacing /dev/sda1 with the correct inode for your case | 08:40 |

| |kosh| | i guess running ubuntu in virtualbox seamless mode on windows 7 is really what i wanted | 09:28 |
| |kosh| | it looks so nice and compiz works! | 09:28 |
| sowjendra | Linxeh : Thank you very much .. now i got my space | 09:28 |
| rski | azi`: ffmpeg | 09:28 |
| rski | or lame maybe | 09:28 |

| sowjendra | Linxeh : which is the best method to install and update all the patches in our network .. I mean with out internet | 09:30 |
| sowjendra | Linxeh : right now i have installed Ubuntu in one system .. I have updated this sytem, i want to make the same to be installed in another few machines | 09:31 |
| confusedBob | is there some reason i can no longer establish a connection to wifi through the command line in jaunty? it works fine from nm-applet, so I know everything's working... | 09:31 |
| sowjendra | Linxeh : I tried with reconstructer but i was not success | 09:32 |
| linxeh | sowjendra: you could copy all the .deb packages you need to a cd and install them all (or share them over nfs) | 09:32 |
| linxeh | I do it by keeping an rsync mirror of the ubuntu repositories | 09:32 |
| linxeh | and all our machines then point at that | 09:32 |
| sowjendra | Linxeh : I have tried like this also .. but for some files it says libraries are missing | 09:32 |
| linxeh | you must have missed some dependency debs, or got the order wrong | 09:33 |
| reborn3 | ? | 09:34 |
| sowjendra | Linxeh : I am new to Linux environment .. is there any guide to follow like to follow your steps . | 09:34 |
| linxeh | sowjendra: another way is to set up a caching proxy, like squid, then just issue the install commands on your other boxes. the first one will download from the internet, the rest should get the cached files | 09:34 |
| linxeh | sowjendra: there is likely something on the ubuntu wiki or the forums | 09:35 |
| lars_bauer | how do i redirect std.err to std.out in a bash. ( cmd | othercmd ) &2>&1 ? | 09:35 |

| iwobbles | Im not sure how to pick and choose the earlier version of firefox to install from synaptic | 09:41 |
| confusedBob | when you say no buttons - is there like the space to add the buttons? | 09:42 |
| silare | iwobbles: Select the 'firefox' package and Package --> Force Version (Ctrl+E) will do it. | 09:42 |
| iwobbles | ta silare I will try that | 09:43 |

| silare | Press Ctrl+E (or Package --> Force Version...) and it'll give you a dropdown box of all versions carried in all of the repositories you have on your software sources. | 09:49 |
| n3n3 | cual es el int de arranque en ubuntu? el2 o el 5? | 09:49 |
| silare | If all you happen to have is one option in that dropdown box, then try adding some more repos to your sources.list or so. | 09:50 |
| bazhang | n3n3, #ubuntu-es por espanol | 09:50 |
| iwobbles | ok yeah and then CTRL E ? silare ? | 09:50 |
| silare | Yeah... | 09:50 |
| silare | When the firefox package is highlighted, hit Ctrl+E and then you'll be presented with a popup with a dropdown box. | 09:50 |
| silare | Find the version you want. | 09:51 |
| iwobbles | ok ta silare | 09:51 |
| silare | Did it work? :P | 09:51 |
| iwobbles | nope CTRL E nothing happens when I apply it still installs new version | 09:53 |

| ShapeShifter499 | ok I think I know what to do, but is there a makefile command that tells make to put out put into /home/*name of user thats installing*/Desktop/*output file* ? | 09:57 |
| gartral | Nullslash: are you sure your cooling it right? | 09:57 |

| iwobbles | thats right silare after selecting the package I typed CTRL E from keyboard and nothing happend | 10:00 |
| gartral | Nullslash: Intel, AMD? | 10:01 |
| silare | iwobbles: Alternatively, while said package is selected (click on it and make sure whatever colour highlight your GNOME theme uses is highlighting that package), in Synaptic's menu, go into Package --> Force Version. | 10:01 |
| iwobbles | ok ta silare I will give it a go | 10:01 |
| silare | iwobbles: Alright. Tell me if it works/goes boom. | 10:01 |
| Nullslash | gartral , AMD ,my BIOS does not have anything related to this issue , I have only in my BIOS the VT stuff | 10:02 |

| Nullslash | macgyver_, test your ethernet 1st | 10:22 |
| macgyver_ | but all hardware is working | 10:22 |
| macgyver_ | ethernet is the same speed if I plug direct into the modem | 10:22 |
| macgyver_ | I did think of that part | 10:22 |
| iwobbles | yes silare Im not sure what version i on the disk from Mint,, its says its Mint6 based on ubuntu 8.10 but has no bus width stats on it | 10:23 |

| b3rz3rk3r | how we all doing in here? | 10:24 |
| iwobbles | its a free one silare from a magazine | 10:24 |

| macgyver_ | I have clicked the link | 10:24 |
| silare | iwobbles: Ahh... I suggest downloading the ISO yourself from Mint and then burning it yourself. The download and burn thing is rather stable anyway. And with the Ubuntu one... Is that from UBuntu's site or did they send you it? | 10:25 |

| b3rz3rk3r | macgyver_, change your dns server | 10:25 |
| Nullslash | macgyver_, how is your DNS server ? | 10:26 |
| ^cheeky | hi can any one help with a conky setting .. i cant seem to get my upload and download speeds to read anything nor can i see my weather reading even thought i configured the weather scripts .. | 10:26 |
| donkeyboy | tony: ok, will give that a try | 10:26 |
| b3rz3rk3r | macgyver_, you could try Open DNS, they are popular, and free | 10:26 |
| iwobbles | whats an application I can use to burn a mint image with silare ? Im not sure I have any on the linux boxes yet,, | 10:26 |
| silare | iwobbles: Oh, okay. Can you not burn CDs or something? (Be it lack of blank CDs, the woes of being a penniless college student, or just a lack of a CD-writable drive?) | 10:26 |
| macgyver_ | b3rz3rk3r, Nullslash I would like to try opendns actually | 10:27 |
| vladimirboyd | having just updated to 2.6.28-15 kernel, my resolution was wiped and would not go back to normal. re-installing NVIDIA driver does not work. does that mean driver is not compatible with kernel? | 10:27 |
| grawity | b3rz3rk3r: But you have to spend 10 minutes registering and disabling all the OpenDNS crap. | 10:27 |
| silare | iwobbles: Um. Go on Synaptic and search for the package brasero. | 10:27 |
| ^cheeky | sorry my conky.rc file : http://pastie.org/572252 | 10:27 |
| Nullslash | macgyver_, cat /etc/resolv.conf | 10:27 |
| b3rz3rk3r | grawity, 10 minutes is hardly a lifetime :p | 10:27 |
| iwobbles | lol not peniless just linux-dumb lol,, ok brasero ok will get that and then Mint lol,,, | 10:27 |
| macgyver_ | you guys rock | 10:27 |
| macgyver_ | I just see the issue now | 10:28 |
| macgyver_ | it for some reason has the work DNS servers | 10:28 |
| grawity | b3rz3rk3r: At least it has the advantage of being free. (There are other public DNS services, but they aren't that known) | 10:28 |
| b3rz3rk3r | macgyver_, anytime man, just remember to come back and help out others ;) | 10:28 |
| frank_b | I'm using jaunty and I've just installed a more recent version of amule (from karmic) and all it's depencies (also from karmic). now nicotine (another P2P program) doesn't run. I'm thinking of upgrading all my system to karmic to try to solve the problem. anyone here recommends otherwise? | 10:28 |
| silare | iwobbles: Brasero Disc Burner is a good choice and I've found it reliable. Oh, really? Nah... You'll be fine. xD We were all Linux-dumb at some point. But yeah, download the .iso file from Mint (Main edition if you're 32-bit and x64 edition if you're 64-bit), open it in Brasero, and let it burn. When it's done, you'll have a Linux CD. It'll work and it'll be awesome. =] | 10:29 |
| macgyver_ | b3rz3rk3r, I actually never leave :) | 10:29 |
| b3rz3rk3r | grawity, true true | 10:29 |
| b3rz3rk3r | macgyver_, lol.. thats the spirit | 10:29 |
| Nullslash | macgyver_, DNS issue ? | 10:29 |
| macgyver_ | Nullslash, correct | 10:29 |
| frank_b | anyone here recommends against upgrading to karmic now? | 10:29 |
| macgyver_ | my fault actually | 10:29 |
| donkeyboy | tony: The package it says I need to install is the one I already have installed :-( | 10:29 |
| vladimirboyd | not only this new kernel messed up my desktop, it had also brought trouble to my Kubuntu. so is the kernel update flawed? | 10:29 |
| macgyver_ | I added the dns @ work when I was doing the wireless survey | 10:29 |
| b3rz3rk3r | frank_b, yeah, id hold off its you have a production machine you are thinking about upgrading | 10:30 |
| Nullslash | macgyver_, ok install named on your laptop and host your own DNS server , it will be rocket | 10:30 |
| macgyver_ | looks like again you were right | 10:30 |
| tony | donkeyboy: can you reinstall it? | 10:30 |
| tony | doh | 10:30 |
| macgyver_ | not an ipv6 issue :) | 10:30 |
| frank_b | b3rz3rk3r, ok, thank you for your advice | 10:30 |
| iwobbles | thanks silare will try that, brasero now installed and am off to get mint,, Ill get both versions and give em a go eh | 10:30 |
| macgyver_ | now, if I can just get my darn screens to work I will exstatic! | 10:30 |
| tony | anyone know why when i download a new KML for google it opens a NEW google window and can't save my places when i try to close? | 10:31 |
| Nullslash | tony, maybe it's read only ? | 10:31 |
| silare | iwobbles: No problem. ^_^ Just pop in the blank CDs, download the .iso files, right-click the .iso files and open them in Brasero, wait a bit while they burn, and you'll have your CDs in no time. at that point, procedure is the same as the other CDs you got from Ubuntu/magazines. Pop it in and boot into it. ^_^ | 10:31 |
| tony | Nullslash: i started it thru terminal with sudo | 10:32 |
| Nullslash | try to google it in Google earth group, you will find your answer there | 10:32 |
| iwobbles | okie sta silare they have a universal version and -7 iso and a -7 x64iso I will get em all and give em a try | 10:33 |
| Besogon | macgyver_: sorry that link was wrong because the ipv6 functionality is built-in the kernel, you need to use sysctl to adjust various ipv6 kernel parameters. | 10:33 |
| iwobbles | thank the gods for broadband lol | 10:33 |
| macgyver_ | Besogon, its ok its sorted, turned out to be DNS | 10:34 |
| tony | Nullslash: googleearth.bin is rwxr-xr-x | 10:34 |

| macgyver_ | I didnt expect that! | 10:35 |
| tony | Nullslash: does that sound right? | 10:35 |
| silare | iwobbles: Okay. If you want, here's the breakdown: The Universal edition is the strict open-source edition (if it isn't free and open-source, we aren't including it [although you can install the closed-source stuff later on your own too]). The 7 version is the normal version for 32-bit computers. The x64 version is the normal version for 64-bit computers. | 10:35 |

| richardcavell | ubuntistas: Sorry, I'm confused. KDE is a window manager that does the same function as GNOME. GNOME is the default Ubuntu environment. There is a KDE version of Ubuntu called Kubuntu. You can also just install KDE onto a normal GNOME Ubuntu and use KDE instead | 11:02 |
| curtis_ | ubuntistas open up System>>Administration>>Partition Editor | 11:02 |

| ubottu | Faust|Avalon: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience | 11:07 |
| donkeyboy | Can anyone help? Just can't get sound to work :-( | 11:07 |

| polter | ubuntistas, no idea really. have you checked kde.org for their recommendations? | 11:07 |
| jrib | donkeyboy: no idea if that's helpful or not but check it out | 11:07 |
| silare | !sound | 11:07 |
| ubottu | 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 | 11:07 |
| jrib | ^cheeky: right click -> add to panel -> window list | 11:08 |
| polter | ubuntistas, here you go http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.3 | 11:08 |
| silare | !debian | 11:08 |
| ubottu | 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! | 11:08 |
| polter | there's a repo for you | 11:08 |
| donkeyboy | jrib: thanks, but there are no drivers there so I can't choose alsa :-( just null | 11:09 |
| jrib | donkeyboy: I meant ubottu's links | 11:09 |
| donkeyboy | jrib: I am looking at that page now, thanks | 11:10 |

| daem_ | hmmmmm, ok... seems for the time being i have gotten things a workin, through a friend of mine modifying what it is that grub could boot, though i do not think that is a permanent solution. I have problems with the wireless on this Acer Aspire One AOA, seems if i load then unload the madwifi drivers, she'll give me wifi acess, which leaves me with many a grub file. Firiend of mine deleted all those extra grubs, and now it boots right | 11:14 |
| daem_ | into the one that still has wifi, but soon as my roomie updates, he'll find himself wifiless, i fear, and that would be bad | 11:14 |

| polter | ubuntistas, you should be able to do that, but since it's not in the official repos, I won't give any guarantees. | 11:20 |
| polter | just do a dryrun first to see what would happen on install | 11:20 |
| daem_ | ignore me, i need to get sober before i can ask questions | 11:20 |
| ubuntistas | polter which is the official repo? and how can i do a dry run? what's that? | 11:21 |
| hanasaki | is there a way to get firefox 3.0 out and only have 3.5 on jaunty? removing it seems to break a few packages and keeping it there is no way to get thunderbird to open links in 3.5 | 11:21 |
| silare | Does anyone here use a STAC92xx audio driver? I realized I can't get input to work. Output works fine, although input is practically not there, which I'd like to have for the sake of Skype, etfc. | 11:21 |
| polter | ubuntistas, if you use "apt-get install kde" you can add "--simulate" at the end of the command to see what would get removed/installed/upgrade without doing the install | 11:21 |
| leaf-sheep | hanasaki: Be patient. Firefox-3.5 will be official in Karmic. You could always change the firefox symlink. | 11:22 |

| lusepuster_ | Hi channel - after recent upgrades, I have experienced problems playing flash videos from Youtube, Vimeo etc. They open, but the "Loading" symbol just goes on for ever, the actual videos do not show. In youtube, the hover menu with related clips etc does show, but not the video itself. I tried googling but cannot find anything. Is this a known issue? | 11:25 |

| ubuntistas | polter | 11:26 |
| iceroot | lusepuster_: hd videos? try clicking hd, then they will load. same here, normal windows dont start if there is a hd-version | 11:26 |
| iceroot | !backport | ubuntistas | 11:26 |
| ubottu | ubuntistas: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging | 11:26 |
| lusepuster_ | iceroot, just to make sure I understand you right: if there is a hd version, the normal version will not load for you, but the HD version loads fine? | 11:27 |

| Lelouch | oldude67: in ternimal? | 12:05 |
| oldude67 | Lelouch, yes and if it doesnt do a dmesg and see what the error is. | 12:06 |
| Lelouch | oldude67: should i do it like this "modprobe anydata adu-510a" ? | 12:06 |
| oldude67 | Lelouch, unless there is someone here that knows more about it? | 12:07 |
| Radtoo | georgefrs: what about nvidia ion? | 12:07 |
| Lelouch | i'm afraid there isn't | 12:07 |
| technopagan | georgefrs: Personnaly, I'd say take Nvidia. I had a Ati-card in my old laptop and it made all kinds of trouble. | 12:07 |
| * macgyver_ is tearing his hair out | 12:07 | |
| Lelouch | oldude67: this is the main problem i'm stuck with, i dunno what to type in vender and product id | 12:07 |
| macgyver_ | I just installed the driver from ATI, I now "sort of" have a bog desktop, but have now lost compiz | 12:08 |
| georgefrs | Radtoo: I was thinking that but the boards have very limited SATA support | 12:08 |
| oldude67 | Lelouch, well if it is showing up in the lsusb it should load with the modprobe | 12:08 |
| Lelouch | ok, i will try it now then | 12:08 |
| Lelouch | brb | 12:08 |
| georgefrs | technopagan: I'm inclined to agree, I have run an Ati x700 under linus in the past and it was an annoyance. But I've heard good things about 780G support | 12:09 |
| * macgyver_ needs help with ATI | 12:09 | |
| Radtoo | georgefrs: 4 drives or so, yes? | 12:09 |
| leaf-sheep | Hello. I'm trying to include vga=XXX in my /boot/. However, I wanted VESA 37B but I can't figure out which VGA numbers I wanted and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VESA_BIOS_Extensions#Linux_video_mode_numbers does not really specify it. I'm looking for 1280 x 720 x 32. Suggestion or guides, please? | 12:09 |
| georgefrs | Radtoo: On the atom itx boards I saw it was more like 2 | 12:10 |
| macgyver_ | brb | 12:10 |
| georgefrs | Radtoo: But I would prefer the extra cpu punch anyway, I can get an AMD 240 x2 + m/b for the same cost as Atom + ion | 12:10 |
| Radtoo | georgefrs: both the point of view and zotac models I could buy here have 4... and yes I guess that part is a good argument if it is not just a htpc | 12:11 |
| === peleg_ is now known as peleg | ||
| technopagan | georgefrs: I am definitely NOT up to date on these matters. But because of some trouble with my current Intel video driver I talked to some fairly geeky guys just yesterday + they said to have no trouble with Nvidia. | 12:11 |
| Radtoo | georgefrs: its just nicer to have a htpc that does not consume much power, needs barely any cooling (or can be easily cooled passive even), and fits into a small box / case easily, if its my preferences ;) | 12:12 |
| Radtoo | georgefrs: well if you already picked this much, Id also say go with nvidia. | 12:12 |
| georgefrs | Radtoo: Thanks. My original plan was a nice low power HTPC box, perhaps a Acer Aspire Revo (linux version of course :D ). | 12:14 |
| georgefrs | Radtoo: But then we needed a 3tb NAS array as well and so it made sense to consolidate | 12:15 |
| eleazar | 12:19 | |
| Lelouch | oldude67: dmesg shows this http://bcas.tv/paste/results/y16SLq72.html | 12:21 |
| Radtoo | georgefrs: Sounds like a sound plan, and its certainly much less power consuming than a full-blown modern quad core machine anyhow. | 12:21 |
| Zoran | click and play http://zoranmilicevic.mybrute.com http://studentmustang.mybrute.com | 12:24 |
| georgefrs | Radtoo: Cheers. The Amd 240 x2 has a 65w tdp so while its not exactly low power it shouldn't be too demanding | 12:24 |
| jrib | Zoran: please don't advertise in this channel | 12:24 |
| Lelouch | oldude67: these are the screenshots i took from the device properties, if that could help you explain a little --> http://img193.imageshack.us/i/screenshotygd.png/ http://img18.imageshack.us/i/screenshot2akj.png/ http://img40.imageshack.us/i/screenshot1dzw.png/ | 12:25 |
| georgefrs | Radtoo: and I'll use a branded 80 plus efficient psu to try and offset the power requirements | 12:25 |
| oldude67 | Lelouch, was that everything from dmesg or the end did not get put in there...and did you get an error when you did the modprobe? | 12:26 |
| Lelouch | oldude67: yes that was all in dmaesg till the end, and i got an error like " module couldn't load" or something like this | 12:27 |
| Lelouch | in mosprobe that is | 12:27 |
| notsonerdysunny | is there something similar to "/etc/inittab" in debian/ubuntu systems? | 12:27 |
| jrib | !inittab | notsonerdysunny | 12:28 |
| ubottu | notsonerdysunny: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ | 12:28 |
| jrib | notsonerdysunny: why? | 12:28 |
| notsonerdysunny | how can I control the run level? | 12:28 |
| jrib | notsonerdysunny: why? | 12:28 |
| Dr_Willis | notsonerdysunny: ubuntu dosent really use runlevels for anything. | 12:28 |
| notsonerdysunny | how do I make it start with out the x then? I need to install graphics drivers... | 12:29 |
| jrib | !nvidia > notsonerdysunny | 12:29 |
| ubottu | notsonerdysunny, please see my private message | 12:29 |
| jrib | notsonerdysunny: install them the right way | 12:29 |
| grawity | notsonerdysunny: You can stop X with "service gdm stop" as root. | 12:29 |
| stevem | Dual head XDMCP session? is it possible... anyone know? | 12:29 |
| georgefrs | anyway thanks Radtoo , technopagan ... I'm off to get a haircut now. No need to perpetuate comp sci stereotypes any more more than necessary :D | 12:30 |
| notsonerdysunny | thanks .. let me try it .. | 12:30 |
| jrib | notsonerdysunny: you should use the repositories to install the drivers, not install them manually | 12:30 |
| oldude67 | Lelouch, is this an eth0 device or a modem? | 12:30 |
| Lelouch | it's a modem | 12:31 |
| notsonerdysunny | jrib ... will the repository install even the 64 bit nvidia driver? | 12:31 |
| jrib | notsonerdysunny: yes | 12:31 |
| Lelouch | oldude67: it's a WAN connection and this usb is the modem for it | 12:31 |
| notsonerdysunny | doing apt-cache search nvidia returned a bunch of nvidia stuff.. | 12:32 |
| notsonerdysunny | how do i know which is the right one? | 12:32 |
| oldude67 | Lelouch, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=763122 | 12:32 |
| jrib | notsonerdysunny: well that's not what ubottu's link tells you to do. Use System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers | 12:32 |
| tri1 | hi guys...i am running hardy and needs to install erlang on it...aptitude installs an older version, how do i specify the version during the install? | 12:32 |
| Dr_Willis | stevem: Hmm.. I think it worked here that way for me last week when i tried it | 12:33 |
| Halitech | tri1, it will only install the version in the repo, you can't tell it what version to install .. if you need newer you would have to get it from the devs site | 12:33 |
| Dr_Willis | stevem: i dont recall the 2nd monitor being disabled... | 12:33 |
| notsonerdysunny | some how I did not recieve the private message that ubottu was supposed to send me ... | 12:34 |
| tri1 | ah ok thanks Halitech | 12:34 |
| oldude67 | Lelouch, i have to leave now, maybe if you get stuck someone else here might be able to help you..have a good day. | 12:34 |
| bazhang | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto notsonerdysunny | 12:34 |
| tri1 | Halitech: is there a way to ubdate the repo to use the jaunty repo cause i see jaunty has the right version? | 12:35 |
| Halitech | tri1, upgrade to jaunty | 12:35 |
| Lelouch | oldude67: thanks, i won't be here to tell you but i think this might work | 12:35 |
| Lelouch | i will try it now | 12:35 |
| bazhang | Halitech, you dont want to mix repo versions; upgrade to jaunty | 12:36 |
| stevem | Dr_Willis, well see this is a virtual ubuntu that I'm xdcmp'ing to ... it's only really got 1 'virtual' monitor - will I have to make a fake one | 12:36 |
| bazhang | Whoop, sorry Halitech | 12:36 |
| tri1 | Halitech: u mean reinstall ? | 12:36 |
| Halitech | bazhang, np, I know better, even on Debian I don't mix and match :) | 12:36 |
| Halitech | tri1, no, just run the update manager | 12:37 |
| bazhang | tri1, upgrade via net if you wish | 12:37 |
| notsonerdysunny | Is there a way to find out what graphics card I have ? | 12:37 |
| Halitech | tri1, or you can get the alt install cd and use it to upgrade | 12:37 |
| tri1 | but dont i just need the erlang stuff...wont this install all kinds of other things | 12:37 |
| Halitech | notsonerdysunny, lspci -C video | 12:37 |

| notsonerdysunny | Halitech .. -C does not seem to be recognized by lspci..? | 12:38 |
| CopyWriter | or should i just go ahead and put the desktops on a workgroup | 12:39 |
| CopyWriter | the question is if i do that, can i still specifiy which users connect to what shares | 12:39 |

| coolguy4 | when I spin my mousewheel, there's a delay of about half a second before the window scrolls. This happens in pretty much any application, I'm using ubuntu with gnome; any ideas about how to fix this? | 12:40 |
| CopyWriter | and or, is it necessary to have a pdc on my network if i'll not have any windows pc's connecting | 12:40 |
| Halitech | notsonerdysunny, got my commands mixed up | 12:40 |
| CopyWriter | going everything ubuntu | 12:40 |
| Dr_Willis | stevem: no idea on that. I used xdmcp to connect to my pc thats behind me.. and im pretty sure both monitors worked here.. I would expect it to work thta way.. sice X is running 'locally' using twinview and the nvidia drivers.. just the apps are running remotely | 12:40 |

| Halitech | coolguy4, what video card and have you installed the proper drivers? | 12:40 |
| notsonerdysunny | ok .. I seem to have the intel's integrated graphics controller.. | 12:41 |
| coolguy4 | halitech: what terminal command can I use to check that? | 12:41 |
| coolguy4 | halitech: I have onboard video | 12:41 |
| notsonerdysunny | what is the driver I am supposed to be using? | 12:41 |
| Halitech | coolguy4, lspci | grep vga | 12:41 |
| jetienne | q. what is the proper ubuntu mirror for a computer in the us ? | 12:41 |
| Halitech | notsonerdysunny, chances are you have the proper driver but in 9.04 there were some issues with the intel driver | 12:42 |
| Halitech | notsonerdysunny, check here ... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582 | 12:43 |
| notsonerdysunny | see the problem is I have a graphics application .. which reports .. "Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0"." .. I was able to fix this by installing a new graphics driver before on other machines.. | 12:44 |
| notsonerdysunny | that is why I am trying this option... | 12:44 |
| notsonerdysunny | btw.. My installation is 8.04 not 9.10 | 12:44 |
| Halitech | notsonerdysunny, installing the nvidia driver won't do any good if you don't have an nvidia card | 12:44 |
| veeti | How can I update to gphoto2 2.4.5? | 12:44 |

| bjb1959 | doing fresh install of jaunty and after installing nvidia driver from the hardware driver manager X won't start until I revert to old config. I know nvidia drivers suck but it used to work flawlessly in previous versions what is the problem? | 12:45 |
| ShapeShifter499 | how do I define a "user" desktop foler? | 12:45 |
| notsonerdysunny | would you have a suggestion why its telling that there is not GLX extension? | 12:45 |
| ManDay | Since I changed my password I get problems with the keyring. For instance when I start my computer my NetworkManager tries to access the data for my WLAN but I get a message "... tries to access the default keyring, but it's locked" - and even if I enter my new password in this promt, it just re-appears, asking again and again! Please help! | 12:45 |
| ShapeShifter499 | I'm trying to edit a makefile, how do I define a user's desktop folder? | 12:46 |
| ArPharazon | hello everyone, what does "hal-storage-fixed-mount-all-options refused uid 999" mean? | 12:46 |
| Halitech | coolguy4, look in hardware drivers and see if anything is listed there | 12:46 |
| Slart | bjb1959: nvidia drivers are among the better ones.. how do you mean "won't start".. how do you "revert to old config" ? | 12:47 |
| Dr_Willis | ManDay: you may want to check --> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7470795 | 12:47 |
| Halitech | notsonerdysunny, not sure, I don't have any systems with intel chips so don't know much about them | 12:47 |
| Dr_Willis | ManDay: i just set my keyring to not need a password. | 12:47 |
| ManDay | Checking, Dr_Willis | 12:47 |
| ShapeShifter499 | well anyone know? | 12:48 |
| bjb1959 | Slart, I get the X reconfigure screen asking if I want to revert or start x in low graphics mode | 12:48 |
| Dr_Willis | ManDay: and ive no idea why the setting program is in Applications->Accessories->Passwords and Encryption Keys instead of system -> perfserances :) | 12:48 |
| Slart | bjb1959: can you pastebin the file /var/log/Xorg.0.log ? | 12:48 |
| CopyWriter | i found the ubuntu-server channel :) | 12:48 |
| CopyWriter | right off the bat | 12:48 |
| bjb1959 | Slart, sure give me a couple minutes | 12:49 |
| Dr_Willis | ManDay: the interface to that program is a little odd also.. You 'right' click on the various 'lines' it displays to set teh passwords for the specific things. | 12:49 |
| ManDay | Exactly my thought, Dr_Willis - I would never have looked there, if you hadnt told me | 12:49 |
| Dr_Willis | ManDay: i had to google this also. :) its been asked in here a dozen+ times befor.. I bookmarked tht url for just these answers Heh | 12:50 |
| ShapeShifter499 | well??????/// | 12:50 |
| Dr_Willis | ManDay: you just reminded me i needed to fix it also so Now perhaps UbuntuOne will stop asking to access the keyring :) | 12:51 |
| ManDay | Yes Dr_Willis I figured it out. Apparently, my keyring password hasnt implictly changed when I changed my user password. Although I assumed that this may be the case I didn't find anything which could let me change the keyring password in Preferences, as you pointed out. But now I know it :) | 12:51 |
| lstarnes | ShapeShifter499: it defaults to /home/$USER/Desktop | 12:51 |
| ArPharazon | Anyone? "hal-storage-fixed-mount-all-options refused uid 999"? | 12:51 |
| bjb1959 | Slart, http://pastebin.ca/1519089 | 12:51 |
| Boohbah | ShapeShifter499: /home/$USER/Desktop | 12:51 |
| Slart | bjb1959: ok, I'll have a look | 12:51 |
| Dr_Willis | ManDay: A++ :) | 12:51 |
| ShapeShifter499 | tnx | 12:51 |

| ClapBedon | Hi there | 12:54 |
| bozo_man | hi there | 12:54 |
| ClapBedon | Can anyone help me with a dist-upgrade ? | 12:54 |
| ClapBedon | I tried to upgrade to Koala aplha3 yesterday | 12:55 |
| Offoffoff | ClapBedon: for what? | 12:55 |
| ClapBedon | but I had to close my computer while update-manager was downloading packages | 12:55 |
| lstarnes | ClapBedon: if you're currently using karmic, the channel for it is #ubuntu+1 | 12:55 |
| Offoffoff | ClapBedon: Just continue it. | 12:55 |
| ClapBedon | now when i run update-manager again, it doesn't show koala anymore | 12:55 |
| Slart | bjb1959: what does you xorg.conf look like? | 12:56 |
| lstarnes | ClapBedon: what does lsb_release -a say? | 12:56 |
| Halitech | ClapBedon, you could try sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 12:56 |
| ClapBedon | No LSB modules are available. | 12:56 |
| ClapBedon | Distributor ID:Ubuntu | 12:56 |
| ClapBedon | Description:Ubuntu 9.04 | 12:56 |

| FloodBot1 | ClapBedon: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 12:56 |
| bjb1959 | Slart, give me a minute | 12:56 |
| Nightwolf | anyone else got problem apt-get updating? can't connect to archive.canonical.com | 12:57 |
| Offoffoff | ClapBedon: update-manager -d | 12:57 |
| Offoffoff | ClapBedon: sudo update-manager -d | 12:57 |
| Nightwolf | now it stucks at "wait for header" | 12:57 |
| bjb1959 | Slart, http://pastebin.ca/1519096 | 12:58 |
| ClapBedon | offoffoff : yes, that's what i did | 12:58 |
| ClapBedon | halitech : according to apt-get, there are no package to install, i'm up to date | 12:58 |
| Halitech | Nightwolf, can you load it in a web browser? | 12:58 |
| Offoffoff | ClapBedon: sudo update-manager --dist-upgrade | 12:58 |
| Offoffoff | ClapBedon: Maybe that? | 12:59 |
| Slart | bjb1959: you want to use the open source nvidia driver? or the binary driver? | 12:59 |
| Halitech | Offoffoff, ClapBedon should be gksudo if it launches a gui | 12:59 |
| bjb1959 | binary driver unfortunately | 12:59 |
| ClapBedon | offoffoff : tried that too! | 12:59 |
| Slart | bjb1959: then remove the "driver nv" line in xorg.conf | 12:59 |
| Halitech | ClapBedon, do things seem to be working? | 12:59 |
| ClapBedon | it loads the dist-upgrade software, but founds nothing to install | 12:59 |
| Slart | !upgrade | 13:00 |
| ubottu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading | 13:00 |
| bjb1959 | Slart, I changed that manually so X would start it used to say "nvidia" which didn't work | 13:00 |
| sysbeast | i have problems with applications (mostly games) that run a different resolution than my desktop... i only get a black screen! anyone can tell me how can i fix this? | 13:00 |
| Offoffoff | Slart: Thank You, Sir | 13:00 |
| ClapBedon | halitech : my computer works fine | 13:00 |
| ^cheeky | errm .. whats the top part in gnome called .. where you havethe list for applications and what not ? | 13:01 |
| Slart | bjb1959: hmm... if I were you I would uninstall everything nvidia using synaptic.. including nvidia glx and so on..reboot and try reinstalling the binary driver | 13:01 |
| ClapBedon | Is there something I could change in /etc/apt to make it work ? | 13:02 |
| bjb1959 | Slart, already did a apt-get --purge remove nvidia* and started over. didn't work | 13:02 |
| Offoffoff | ClapBedon: maybe sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list? | 13:03 |
| fahadsadah | Offoffoff: gksudo nano | 13:03 |
| Offoffoff | ClapBedon: And to change repos to carmic? | 13:03 |
| Halitech | ClapBedon, should be fine then | 13:03 |
| Offoffoff | fahadsadah: :-) | 13:03 |
| Halitech | fahadsadah, don't need gksudo for nano, it runs in the terminal | 13:03 |
| Offoffoff | fahadsadah: What the sense | 13:04 |
| ikonia | don't change any repos to karmic on your jaunty box | 13:04 |
| Slart | bjb1959: odd.. does the live cd work for you? | 13:04 |
| user10 | which package has mathematics.h avutil.h swscale.h on ubuntu | 13:04 |
| Offoffoff | ikonia: why? will be cool! | 13:04 |
| ArPharazon | Can anyone help me out please? I can't get into my winxp partitions from the livecd | 13:04 |
| user10 | which is the command which searches for header files in packages. | 13:04 |
| Slart | !find mathematics.h | 13:05 |
| ikonia | Offoffoff: no - it is not a cool thing to do and can / will break your system | 13:05 |
| ubottu | File mathematics.h found in libavutil-dev, libmyth-dev | 13:05 |
| ClapBedon | everything points to jaunty, looks normal | 13:05 |
| erUSUL | !find stdunix.h | 13:05 |
| Offoffoff | ArPharazon: just to force mount action | 13:05 |
| ubottu | Package/file stdunix.h does not exist in jaunty | 13:05 |
| bjb1959 | Slart, yes but I think I found some instructions that might work. don't know why jaunty doesn't work. hopefully they get it fixed for Karmic. I'll give these instructions a shot. Thanks | 13:05 |
| user10 | cool | 13:05 |
| Offoffoff | ikonia: it is risk | 13:05 |
| user10 | so you mean i need to come to chat room to get this | 13:05 |
| bazhang | Offoffoff, dont recommend here | 13:06 |
| ikonia | Offoffoff: it's not supported/recommended, there are official upgrade processes, please think about what you are suggesting to people | 13:06 |
| ikonia | Offoffoff: at least make it clear the risks | 13:06 |
| ArPharazon | Offoffoff: how do I do that? | 13:06 |
| Slart | user10: you can also use apt-file | 13:06 |
| Offoffoff | bazhang: why? | 13:06 |
| bazhang | Offoffoff, it will break things; dont make wild recommendations here | 13:06 |
| Offoffoff | ikonia: but he is trying to risk | 13:06 |
| user10 | Slart: thanks i had forgotten that | 13:07 |
| ikonia | Offoffoff: because of the danger to breaking his system, there are official/supported upgrade processes | 13:07 |
| bazhang | Offoffoff, please stop | 13:07 |
| Slart | user10: you're welcome | 13:07 |
| ClapBedon | I won't change the repositories | 13:07 |
| Offoffoff | bazhang: ok | 13:07 |
| ikonia | !upgrade > ClapBedon | 13:07 |
| ubottu | ClapBedon, please see my private message | 13:07 |

| ArPharazon | Halitech: I tried to mount but that froze the computer, and also froze the livecd on my first boot attempt. The next boot went fine | 13:25 |
| Halitech | ArPharazon, drive might be that screwed that you can't mount it, did you try to mount it after a reboot? | 13:26 |
| Dr_Willis | Lord-Readman: yes you can. | 13:26 |
| Dr_Willis | Roland: that sould be some HAL rules/udev/rules I think.. ive seen forums/topics mention it for other types of devices.. but ive never looked into it. (FDI files perhaps?) | 13:27 |

For xp, haven't seen a single source leading down that path, and for os/x w | 13:28 |

| daem_ | on USB/ | 13:28 |
| daem_ | ? | 13:28 |
| Dr_Willis | daem_: to tripple boot like that you will need to learn some grub and manually edit the menu.lst most likely. | 13:28 |
| Dr_Willis | daem_: You are doing XP, Uubntu, and UNR? | 13:29 |
| daem_ | Dr_Willis don't know UNR, was thinking in a different direction for the third boot | 13:30 |
| techryan | Why triple boot? Just load everything up in vmware or something. | 13:30 |
| daem_ | think might be best to stick to secondary boot options first. | 13:30 |
| Dr_Willis | daem_: theres no need to use UNR and Ubuntu. UNR will do what all ubuntu can. | 13:30 |
| daem_ | the processor isn't the best for such activities,suppose if I fed it into a cloud | 13:30 |
| daem_ | Dr_Willis Link to UNR? | 13:30 |
| Dr_Willis | daem_: its worth while learning how ubuntu does the grub confiugs and how to manually edit grub's menu.lst that will make tripple booting much easier. | 13:30 |
| Dr_Willis | daem_: its on the ubuntudownload pages.. you will need to put the Ubuntu netbook remix (UNR) on a flash drive to boot/install it.. | 13:31 |
| daem_ | Dr_Willis: When I went into the commands availabnle to me in the command line in grub, was a bit lost | 13:31 |

| leaf-sheep | lstarnes, Dr_Willis: I have two [fail] services but I looked up on "sudo nano /etc/default/boot*" to toggle ON --> YES but apparently it was never fixed so boot logging is not possible since 7.10. The to-be-logged path is /var/log/boot | 13:51 |
| leaf-sheep | Dr_Willis: Since you said you toggled it on bum, can you check /etc/default/boot* to see if it highlights Yes? | 13:52 |
| Dr_Willis | leaf-sheep: my boot is also empty. thers also a bootstrap.log | 13:52 |

| roffe | earthen: you can switch it, but with some hazzle | 14:04 |
| Socah | Does anyone know how to start services in background while booting system? For example apache, mysql, noip2 - in Arch that was just adding "@" before service name in /etc/rc.conf, but I can't find any alternative there. | 14:05 |

| earthen | roffe, Dr_Willis what about just resizing my home dir | 14:05 |
| danbhfive | earthen: I know deluge has an option to more the torrent. I don't know about transmission, but it should | 14:05 |
| Dr_Willis | roffe: start torrent saving to new location.. stop it.. copy your stuff you allready got TO that new location.. and then restart the torrent - let it check.verify is one way | 14:05 |
| Dr_Willis | earthen: resizing may take some time.. | 14:05 |
| sidp | thanks leaf-sheep | 14:05 |
| leaf-sheep | sidp: Don't forget to thank the robot too. :) | 14:06 |
| earthen | roffe, Dr_Willis took me 2 weeks to download this much | 14:06 |
| Dr_Willis | earthen: or just move the download dir to the other drive/partition and make a link pointing to the new location from the old | 14:06 |
| sidp | thanks ubottu :) | 14:06 |

| ShapeShifter499 | I got a question, if I have to run a makefile as root(because its in a .deb file) what command do I put into that makefile to get a file to go to the user's desktop NOT the root's desktop? | 14:06 |
| sidp | leaf-sheep: no way to run in on 8.10? | 14:06 |
| leaf-sheep | earthen: The best thing about torrent. You can always pick up where you left off. | 14:06 |
| earthen | Dr_Willis, that sounds like a idea | 14:06 |
| dayo | how do i change a user's primary group? | 14:06 |
| Dr_Willis | earthen: so yes.. there are ways to move the data/downloads.. depends onhow you want to do it. | 14:06 |
| leaf-sheep | sidp: Read the link. Should say something about Intrepid. | 14:06 |

| suigeneris | why does the touchpad get enabled automatically a while after I disable it using gsynaptics? | 14:07 |
| Dr_Willis | earthen: or as i said.. start torrent again. saving to a NEW location.. then stop it.. and then copy your data to that new location.. and restart it.. it should 'verify; the data and continue' | 14:07 |

| Dr_Willis | ShapeShifter499: I thinkyou got several things sort of mixxed up... normally you compile things as a user. (to build the deb) then you install it as root. you mean you want the files it installs to 'install' to some specific /home/username/Desktop directory? | 14:09 |
| leaf-sheep | Dr_Willis: Want to know what makes sense now? I looked again closely and I see it... It was "starting kernel log daemon failed" | 14:10 |
| curtis_ | is Python really it? because there is a real doucher trying to tell me it's summat else | 14:10 |
| Dr_Willis | leaf-sheep: :P | 14:10 |
| leaf-sheep | Dr_Willis: I'll google now. Thanks for possible solutions. But funny thing. :P | 14:10 |
| dayo | make: thank you | 14:10 |
| ShapeShifter499 | Dr_Willis: yes | 14:10 |
| earthen | roffe, Dr_Willis, leaf-sheep thanks guys | 14:10 |
| Dr_Willis | curtis_: python is used a lot by many disrtos for gui/tools and other support programs. | 14:10 |
| make | dayo :) | 14:10 |
| sipior | curtis_: the linux kernel is written in C. but a default linux install typically contains about a dozen different programming languages | 14:11 |
| ShapeShifter499 | \\ | 14:11 |
| ShapeShifter499 | \\ | 14:12 |

| ShapeShifter499 | opps | 14:12 |
| Pici | ShapeShifter499: Stop that. | 14:12 |
| Dr_Willis | ShapeShifter499: that dosent make a lot of sence.. If you wantd an app to 'install' for just a single user.. you dont need the deb. you can compile/make/make install, where it goes to the users own home dir. the 'Desktop' directory has little to do with it. | 14:12 |

| Radtoo | zer0her0: Well, besides VNC I also like NX and RDP... | 14:27 |
| zer0her0 | ah yea NX, it's been a minute since i've used that. | 14:27 |
| zer0her0 | never played much with RDP | 14:27 |
| Guest51725 | how do i log in so im not a guest? | 14:27 |
| lstarnes | Guest51725: use a nick that isn't registered | 14:28 |

| Socah | Slart, this does not help me | 14:28 |
| Radtoo | zer0her0: VNC is certainly the easiest and most available option but NX / RDP are slightly more performant in most cases. Whether it is worth the effort (or perhaps money, if you would use a commercial solution) of course depends on the details of your connection.. | 14:28 |
| woody_ | HI I finally just got good enough with ubuntu to drop windblows completely and can run all linux apps to do everything and more that I use to use under microsoft. BUT I have a laptop with ati 200m witch I think is close to same as r300 chipset, and it is amd 64 cpu witch is all integrated. how soon or will there ever be support for this under ubuntu 9.04 or do I have to go back to windblows and scrap linux now because ATI sucks? | 14:28 |
| jwfoxjr | Radtoo: speaking of NX have you ever seen NX stop honoring the Controls settings for a desktop theme? I'm using gnome and the window borders and wallpaper and fonts are correct, but the window (gtk) controls aren't | 14:29 |
| Socah | Slart, there is not a word about starting services in background while booting | 14:29 |
| zer0her0 | Radtoo: this is a ubuntu box at home, right now i simply ssh into it and happy in the CLI but every now and then I would like to be able to access the GUI/desktop from the office or cafe. | 14:29 |
| QOOK | [Q] Resolution is the resolution I want in the list. Was good before. | 14:29 |
| Slart | Socah: ehm.. bum, update-rc.d, /etc/rc.local doesn't work for you? I must have misunderstood you then.. what is it you want to do? | 14:29 |
| QOOK | I using xubuntu | 14:29 |
| vigo | woody_: Have you looked at FSFdirectory? | 14:30 |
| woody_ | FSFdirectory? no I have not. will it fix my ati problem? | 14:30 |
| yellabs | Trijntje , i could not find any answer to your quest < looking at this rather old page on LUKS http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/08/17/7-steps-to-an-encrypted-partition-local-or-removable-disk/ | 14:31 |
| Socah | Slart, bum, update-rc is allowing my to turn off, turn on and change runlevels - I want to run service in background, like when you boot your system and you got turned on mysqld service, but it will start in background (boot process will be not depend of it, and will not wait till mysqld will be started to process to gdm) | 14:31 |
| Radtoo | zer0her0: I think I'd just deploy VNC and switch only if there's problems. With regards to what VNC client to use, just make sure it was released fairly recently if you don't want to concern yourself with the detailed capabilities of these things (which actually vary quite a bit, some profit from xorg enhancements, others do not and so on)... | 14:31 |
| Radtoo | jwfoxjr: No, sorry. | 14:31 |

| Slart | Socah: hmm.. I'm not entirely familiar with exactly how the boot process does it's thing.. you can enable concurrency during boot (there is a switch you can change)... but I'm kind of surprised that running a script in /etc/rc.local which forks off another script stops the boot process | 14:33 |

| jacobian_ | I have a keyboard shortcut for Ctrl-Alt-f and I'm not sure where it comes from | 14:43 |
| jacobian_ | But it interferes with my emacs key-bindings | 14:43 |
| vigo | Kottizen: But look at and read su | 14:43 |
| vigo | !su | 14:43 |
| Kottizen | !sudo | 14:43 |
| ubottu | 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) | 14:43 |
| usicow | The user I'm logged in with is a member of groups 'my_account_name' and 'mongrel', I'm trying to create a directory, but I'm getting permission denied.

| jacobian_ | It doesn't appear in the list of keyboard shortcuts in the UI | 14:43 |
| Kottizen | vigo: ok | 14:43 |
| jacobian_ | Any clues? | 14:43 |
| grawity | usicow: The group 'mongrel' does not have write rights to the 'raills' directory... | 14:44 |

| ubottu | motu is short for Masters of the Universe. The brave souls who maintain the packages in the Universe section of Ubuntu. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU | 14:44 |
| Kottizen | and i have a vps with 256 kb minne. how to install x on it? | 14:45 |
| usicow | grawity: is the mongrel group the owner of the directory? | 14:45 |
| grawity | usicow: As you can see yourself, the directory owner is user 'mongrel', and the directory group is group 'mongrel'. | 14:45 |

| Tamale1 | can someone help me understand why I have firefox 3.0 AND firefox 3.5? | 14:47 |
| Tamale1 | and it's called "Shiretoku" ?? | 14:47 |
| grawity | !ff35 | 14:47 |
| ubottu | Firefox 3.5 Final is available for Jaunty by installing the package firefox-3.5 and firefox-3.5-gnome-support | FF3.5 is referred to as Shiretoko on your UI, see http://is.gd/1reB3 for an explanation | Hardy & Intrepid: http://is.gd/1jkNY | 14:47 |
| rski | Tamale1: 2 separate packages | 14:47 |
| Tamale1 | I just want 3.5 | 14:47 |
| grawity | Tamale1: Read the message from ubottu; it explains why. | 14:47 |
| marvinp | I'm attempting to disable the shutdown and restart options under Gnome in Ubuntu 9.04 (for normal users). I've tried changing the permissions on the '/sbin/shutdown' and '/sbin/reboot' to make it ONLY executable by root but that doesn't make a difference since gdm runs under higher privileges. Any ideas? | 14:47 |
| sunyuzh | ？？ | 14:48 |
| Slart | Tamale1: you'll have to wait for karmic to come out | 14:48 |
| Tamale1 | everytime I click a link in chat 3.0 launches | 14:48 |
| Socah | Tamale1, as far as I know, if you remove firefox 3, you loose flash or java - it's in dependiences | 14:48 |

| Socah | Tamale1, just set shiretoko as defaults browser, and that's all, 10 additional megabytes doesn't make you difference, right? | 14:48 |
| Tamale1 | Socah: I did set it as my default.. 3.0 still launches | 14:49 |
| jwfoxjr | Radtoo: thanks - that worked....what search terms did you use in google? my google-fu sucks sometimes | 14:49 |
| Syka | Tamale1: Look up Ubuntuzilla, it allows 3.5 (ACTUAL 3.5, not silly Shiretoko) as your main browser | 14:49 |
| marvinp | grawity: I tried gdm setp but that only disables those options in the initial "login" screen. I would like them disabled inside gnome as well. Do you think that's feasible? | 14:49 |
| Tamale1 | Syka: does it handle defaults properly? | 14:49 |
| Tamale1 | lol, why is firefox so integrated into ubuntu like this? seems like ie and windows | 14:49 |
| Syka | Tamale1: Yep. It replaces 3.0, I'm sure | 14:49 |
| stephans | CLI information on the documentation site tregarding NTP is wrong as well: | 14:50 |
| Socah | Tamale1, if you use pidgin or other programs and open links from them, you need to set shiretoko in those programs too (I had set 3.0 in pidgin) | 14:50 |
| Radtoo | jwfoxjr: nx and gtk theme, I think ... | 14:50 |
| Syka | Tamale1: You can go apt-get remove firefox... | 14:50 |

| Radtoo | stephans: and if you just specify pool.ntp.org? | 14:50 |
| grawity | marvinp: Is that for local or remote access? | 14:50 |
| Syka | Tamale1: No, Flash and Java for Firefox depend, yknow, on firefox | 14:50 |

| Tamale1 | why not? | 14:52 |
| Tamale1 | that's the point of an upgrade, no? | 14:52 |
| Syka | Tamale1: Ubuntu only has security updates, for maximum stability | 14:52 |
| Offoffoff | bjb1959: just go to drivers | 14:52 |
| Tamale1 | 3.5 has a boatload of security updates | 14:52 |
| Slart | Tamale1: that's not the way updates work in ubuntu | 14:52 |
| igama_ | bjb1959, did u use the restricted hardware installer? | 14:52 |
| Syka | Tamale1: So does 3.0.12 | 14:52 |
| Syka | bjb1959: Add Remove Programs under Applications | 14:53 |
| igama_ | bjb1959, System - Administration - Hardware drivers | 14:53 |
| Tamale1 | so basically, ubuntu thinks 3.0 is 'stable' and 3.5 is experimental? | 14:53 |
| Slart | Tamale1: the creators of ubuntu wants to do it a different way.. read the link ubottu gives you.. it explains some of it | 14:53 |
| bjb1959 | igama, did all that it doesn't work | 14:53 |
| Syka | bjb1959: Search nVidia in it | 14:53 |
| Tamale1 | yeah i read it.. just a few chat blurbs | 14:53 |
| Syka | Tamale1: No, it's because 3.5 is a major release | 14:53 |
| bjb1959 | syka, I know how to do this, did it in hardy and intrepid and it worked fine. it's broken in Jaunty | 14:53 |
| Syka | bjb1959: Is not, I installed it that way | 14:54 |
| grawity | marvinp: Ah. In that case, they can still use Alt-SysRq-B to force a reboot, for example. Anyway, there is a gconf key /apps/panel/global -- to disable logout, just set /apps/panel/global/disable_log_out to true (install the gconf-editor package if you need a GUI for that). | 14:54 |
| Syka | bjb1959: Along with three other computers | 14:54 |
| bjb1959 | for me it's broken | 14:54 |
| Tamale1 | Syka: interesting.. and major releases of projects never show up as upgrades in apt-get ? | 14:54 |

| vigo | woody_: You are very welcome, and those last two I posted are the fix for 9,04, which is soon to be 9.10, so look at launchpad and see if the fixes or updates are there yet, if they are not, please make the situation known. | 15:01 |
| firecrotch | dare: killall -9 compiz.real | 15:02 |

| Syka | dare: control-alt-f4, log in as root, killall *username* | 15:07 |
| freazer | dare: Have you tried ctrl-alt-backspace ? this should kill your x session and kick you to a fresh restarted login | 15:07 |

| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about nozap | 15:07 |

| Slart | !dontzap | freazer | 15:07 |
| ubottu | freazer: To re-enable the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace combination that restarts your X server, you can install the "dontzap" package and use the command « sudo dontzap --disable ». The combination Alt+SysRq+K can also be used to obtain a similar effect. | 15:07 |

| o123hallo | can anyone tell me, why xubuntu does not recognise the newer vlc (e.g.) version as newer? | 15:15 |

| Catalin205 | I am away from my server that's why i'm asking if I whould use the cd ? | 15:41 |

| Syka | DaveyG: Update the kernel in Synaptic - but I'm not sure if it goes to .14 | 15:43 |
| grawity | burkmat: So OpenSSH just uses that file for _both_ types of keys. | 15:43 |

| th0r | make: why not just ping one? | 16:31 |
| grawity | Shoe: Ubuntu, being Debian-based, uses DEB packages (.deb). But often Linux software is also distributed as compilable source code (in .tar.gz) | 16:31 |
| linny | Shoe:well if it's a .deb (limewire linux is then just click it to open with gdebi | 16:31 |
| grawity | make: pool.ntp.org -- use the 'host' command to find out the IP. | 16:31 |

| grawity | Shoe: Also, .debs can be installed from Terminal - using dpkg -i file.deb | 16:35 |
| glphvgacs | grawity: from bash manual: history-size (0) Set the maximum number of history entries saved in the history list. If set to zero, the number of entries in the history list is not limited. | 16:35 |

| stevecoh1 | I installed Ubuntu 9.04 a month ago. It is still a very vanilla system, not a lot of config changes. Previous to a couple of days ago, Firefox produced very attractive pages for the most part. After the last two updates, the second of which specifically addressed Firefox, I find that many sites I used to visit look significantly worse from a font point of view. What's going on? I particularly did not make any changes to Firefo | 17:21 |
| stevecoh1 | x font configuration and would like to avoid that but I may have to go down that road. | 17:21 |

| Pici | babbio: Are you asking about *any* command, or ssh in particular? You should be able to use 'expect' for automatically filling in some prompts, but I don't believe that works with ssh by design. | 17:24 |
| guntbert | babbio: we are talking about ssh, right and you have been given several possibilties - please try them | 17:24 |
| ltcabral | stefg: firefox: no process killed | 17:24 |
| sipior | babbio: you can write a shell script, for one. or learn Expect, i suppose. | 17:24 |
| ltcabral | stefg: nothing else happened | 17:24 |
| BulBulRed | Guest1855367055: that was meant for stevecoh1 | 17:24 |
| stevecoh1 | BulBulRed: There are no errors in the terminal window when invoke Firefox from there. | 17:25 |
| stefg | ltcabral: then firefox wasn't running. just make a fresh profile with firefox --ProfileManager | 17:25 |

| ltcabral | stefg: i know it wasnt running... i said i restarted computer and reinstalled firefox and the error didnt change | 17:25 |
| BulBulRed | stevecoh1: did you surf to different websites yet? you should see some output from that command? | 17:26 |
| babbio | guntbert: you are not giving me possibilities because the rsa key is not created by me but my teacher so i HAVE TO insert the password every time i want to connect to my school | 17:26 |
| Guest48657 | The update manager said I needed to update firefox | 17:26 |
| BulBulRed | stevecoh1: i am letting you do this to find out if firefox is having errors or missing a dependency perhaps | 17:26 |
| stefg | ltcabral: reinstalling didn't give you a new clean profile | 17:26 |
| babbio | guntbert: the machine you are talking about is my personal laptop so nobody can use it | 17:26 |
| sipior | babbio: then have a look at "keychain" | 17:26 |

| brianV | Siph0n: the X-chat nickname autocomplete is a bit iffy | 17:38 |
| sipior | Guest48657: now, do you have a "Shiretoko" entry in your menu system? | 17:38 |
| deany | nko, I have to ask (sorry) does it support the media you are inserting? | 17:39 |
| Guest48657 | While wainting for your response; I closed fire fox; I then used the menu option to restart fire fox; and I still have 3.0.13 | 17:39 |
| deany | nko, like, does it support the + or - or both etc... what make is the writer btw ? | 17:39 |
| Guest48657 | Earlier; I had 3.52 when I cliked on the shortcut | 17:39 |

| Guest48657 | no | 17:41 |
| Mike_lifeguard | brianV: who's having issues with XChat autocomplete? | 17:41 |
| deany | nko, odd.... I cant suggest anything other than use something else.. I swear by k3b tho... brasero has done nothing for me with the 5 writers ive tried | 17:41 |
| nko | deany, i know that the system mount the dvd on /dev/sr1 | 17:41 |
| deany | nko, try from shell. | 17:41 |
| Mike_lifeguard | Guest48657: Alt-F2 and run "firefox-3.5" | 17:41 |
| brianV | Mike_lifeguard: I do. If you aren't specific enough, it autocompletes for the first name. Ideally, it would just not autocomplete at all until you've typed in enough to narrow it down to a specific nick | 17:42 |
| deany | nko, growisofs to burn iso or mkisofs to burn files | 17:42 |
| kingmanor | whats a good cli package for 9.04 server to check motherboard/chip temps | 17:42 |

| Guest48657 | why is the Update link on the browser disabled? | 17:46 |
| grim_ | dumont, dpkg -l | grep -i vnc4 | 17:46 |

| goku12205 | uok fine then wait a sec | 17:53 |
| goku12205 | .. | 17:53 |
| new2linx | utente_, why would you want to install debian packages when most of them have been ported to ubuntu. they should work but it's always advised for less breakage to install ubuntu packages | 17:53 |
| th0r | utente_: debian is a little more cutting edge than ubuntu, so I would suggest sticking with the ubuntu repos | 17:53 |
| stefg | utente_: no ... not binary compatible. will break box | 17:54 |
| new2linx | palomer, pulseaudio doesn't play nice when using firefox and other apps. there a fix somewhere in ubuntuforums.org | 17:54 |
| goku12205 | yah i did | 17:54 |
| jrib | goku12205: why do you want a telnet server? Most people use ssh now | 17:54 |

| Rafase_282 | hello | 18:31 |
| gbstack | I know I can use dpkg -s to see if a deb package is installed,but can it used for rpm package? | 18:31 |
| tusia | hi | 18:31 |
| Rafase_282 | hello | 18:31 |
| fhorte_ | grim_ ok ill check thx | 18:31 |
| grim_ | np | 18:31 |
| tusia | does anyone use opensuse liveDE with kde 4.3? | 18:31 |
| boss_mc | gbstack: how did you even install the .rpm? | 18:31 |
| grawity | !rpm | 18:31 |
| ubottu | RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) | 18:31 |
| grawity | boss_mc: Probably that way ^ | 18:32 |
| Rafase_282 | I need help, I put my sistem to hybernate and now it won't boot | 18:32 |
| boss_mc | grawity: that wsa going to be my next question | 18:32 |
| gbstack | boss_mc:I used alien to install the rpm package. | 18:32 |
| boss_mc | gbstack: then alien would have given you a .deb, which you installed as normal? | 18:32 |
| h1n1 | iptables v1.4.1.1: Unknown arg `--gw' | 18:32 |
| boss_mc | gbstack: why use the rpm? firestarter is in the repos | 18:32 |
| h1n1 | why --gw unavailable? | 18:33 |
| boss_mc | !info firestarter | gbstack | 18:33 |
| ubottu | gbstack: firestarter (source: firestarter): gtk program for managing and observing your firewall. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.3-7ubuntu5 (jaunty), package size 406 kB, installed size 1968 kB | 18:33 |

| tusia | ? | 18:33 |
| stefg | Rafase_282: boot to recovery mode once | 18:33 |
| h1n1 | any idea? | 18:33 |

| vesuvius23 | can anyone tell me if ubuntu 8.04 has problems with ddr3 (12gig) ? I can boot alright, but the systems hangs when I either shutdown or reboot (no response whatsoever from visual, keyboard or mouse) | 18:34 |
| timboy | if you right click and create a share from the gnome gui where does the config go? | 18:34 |
| gbstack | boss_mc:because I didn't know there was a firestarter deb package when I installed firestarter... | 18:34 |
| Hilikus | damnit. i just killed all my kernels trying to reinstall the latest kernel and now i can't boot into ubuntu. is there a way i can fix that or i just need to reinstall? | 18:35 |
| boss_mc | gbstack: well, if you installed the .deb that alien made using dpkg then you can uninstall it that way too | 18:35 |

| dumont | could someone suggest a bandwidth monitor tool that is NOT CONSOLE MODE? | 18:37 |
| Hilikus | stefg the only desktop cd i have is from feisty. could i use that to install the latest kernel? | 18:37 |
| joeyeye | kennethd: usually it's a BIOS option - depending on the BIOS it will be <DEL> <F12> or <F1> during the boot sequence to get in to the BIOS | 18:38 |
| Hilikus | stefg and what is chroot anyway? | 18:38 |
| stefg | Hilikus: can't tell... since you're going to work in chroot, the jaunty sources are applied. chroot == change root | 18:38 |

| Hilikus | what's the difference between the 32 and 64bit versions of ubuntu? | 18:39 |
| timboy | Hilikus, 32 bits... :P | 18:40 |
| stefg | Hilikus: ermm.... you better make a backup of your files and reinstalll | 18:40 |
| grim_ | heheh | 18:40 |
| Hilikus | i heard the flash player in the 64bit version is crap. is there such things? programs that work better in one over the other? | 18:40 |
| lstarnes | Hilikus: I haven't had any major issues in the 64-bit version | 18:40 |
| timboy | Hilikus, ubuntu 64 bit will install 32 bit flash player by default | 18:40 |
| dumont | What is the best bandwidth monitoring tool with a graphical interface (non-console) ? | 18:40 |
| Hilikus | stefg yes, that's what i'll do, now i'm trying to decide if i should go with 32bit this time | 18:40 |
| Hilikus | timboy and that would make it jumpy? | 18:40 |
| joeyeye | paul__: i don't know WinFF, but you're looking for MPEG2 PS and AC3 audio or MP2 audio | 18:40 |
| stefg | Hilikus: how much ram do you have ? | 18:40 |
| Hilikus | stefg 3G | 18:41 |
| timboy | Hilikus, if you want more than 3GB ram and don't want to mess with kernel then you have to go 64-bit | 18:41 |
| timboy | Hilikus, no issues ever with 64 bit and flash. Have over 15 machines running it. | 18:41 |
| stefg | Hilikus: and no upgrade in sight? | 18:41 |
| disappearedng | Hey how do I use wget or curl to download just links from a webpage ? | 18:42 |
| Hilikus | stefg don't think so. i was running 64bit and the only thing i notice was jumpy flash but i don't know if it was that it was the 64bit version. i heard someone here say that the flash player in 64bit was crap | 18:42 |

| disappearedng | grim_ what? how does that just download thelinks? | 18:43 |
| disappearedng | that downloads the whole file | 18:43 |
| paul__ | joeyeye: im running jaunty if that helps any | 18:43 |

| Balaji | Dear sirs, I have small issue, every time I boot my Ubuntu Jaunty.. Gnome Pilot applet starts automatically | 18:43 |
| stefg | Hilikus: the 64bit version has 32bit libs too, so it can run 32bit software... but if you're not going to use more than 3G then 32bit might be more convinient. | 18:43 |

| stefg | Hilikus: no need for compatibility hacks... | 18:44 |

| Hilikus | timboy it wasnt in all of them, just in some and again, i don't know if it really was because i had ubuntu64 | 18:45 |
| stefg | Hilikus: not all precompiled software maybe available as 64bit version | 18:45 |
| joeyeye | donnybrasco: try hcitool scan | 18:45 |
| joeyeye | donnybrasco: or sudo hidd --search | 18:46 |

| stefg | Hilikus: i'm running 64bit, but e.g. i can't run the precompiled seamonkey 2.0 beta from mozilla... it'S done as 32bit. it runs, but all the plugins i have are 64bit, so the plugins don't work | 18:48 |
| Hilikus | stefg so it's for precompiled stuff only | 18:48 |
| Hilikus | that makes sense | 18:48 |
| donnybrasco | joeyeye: thanks, but it didn't work hcitool scan only showed a device that's not paired and sudo hidd --search returned nothing | 18:48 |
| Hilikus | stefg what is the actual ram limit in 32bits? | 18:48 |
| lstarnes | dumont: do you just need something that monitors bandwidth usage, or do you need something with more functionality? | 18:48 |
| Hilikus | according to windows i have 3.00GB RAM | 18:49 |
| joeyeye | donnybrasco: try hcitool dev ? | 18:49 |

| kennethd | joeyeye: I think I wasn't clear, the cd is in bootorder & ubuntu boots, but it tries to mount sda & errors just spew out for hours until i kill it. I think there is a kernel boot option to ignore the drive (i tried sda=noprobe with no effect) | 18:50 |
| stefg | Hilikus: that'S teh reason why system builders fit 3 G ... it'S the maximum for 32bit XP | 18:50 |
| Spirits-Sight | is there a program that would allow me to see the htm file in a web directory | 18:50 |
| Balaji | Any Help, Removed gnome Pilot applet pops up every time during the start-up, how can I prevent it | 18:50 |

| dumont | how hard is it to suggest a damned bandwidth meter with a graphical interface? | 18:59 |
| stefg | StrangeCharm: by installing the right kernel module/driver | 19:00 |
| Brazz | anyone how to install the Mobilit 9200 driver? | 19:00 |
| Brazz | Mobility* | 19:00 |
| mneptok | dumont: it's really easy to suggest it. you just did. but in a place no one will listen. | 19:01 |
| disappearedng | I am sorry but I gotta get this clear | 19:01 |
| StrangeCharm | stefg, where can i find details about the kernel-modules/drivers that i'll need.? also, what can i use to install things during the installer - aptitude isn't present yet? | 19:01 |

| dumont | burkmat i'm been looking smartguy, haven't found a small graphical windowed app yet | 19:02 |
| lstarnes | dumont: if you're using gnome, right-click on the panel, select "add to panel", and look for "network monitor" | 19:02 |

| dumont | KDE | 19:02 |
| Charles | bill: easy way log out and log back in.. | 19:02 |
| stefg | StrangeCharm: you first need to find out your hardware ... read lspci and dmesg. Then you need to determine waht module you need, and if izs there and loaded .. lsmod ... | 19:02 |
| bill_ | Slart, isnt there ... usually should show in the system tools | 19:02 |
| lstarnes | dumont: which version of kde? | 19:03 |

| bill_ | Slart, synaptic package manager | 19:03 |
| stefg | StrangeCharm: if you conclude you have no driver you need to hunt it down with the help of google, compile it (if it exists) install and modprobe it | 19:04 |
| Slart | bill_: hmm.. try reinstalling it.. just in case something didn't finish | 19:04 |
| lstarnes | dumont: you could probably try conky. If it's KDE 4, there may be a plasma applet for network monitoring | 19:04 |

| StrangeCharm | stefg, i'm not sure that i have the expertise to parse these files. what should i be looking for, viz comparing the device with its driver? the manufacturer's website lists an open source driver for this device, can i just get that? | 19:05 |
| burkmat | ScottG: What exactly do you want it to do? You want a command that simply waits? | 19:06 |
| Flannel | !best | imrann | 19:06 |

| gse7en | Simple question: I'm running GNOME 2.26. I'd like to make a shortcut on my desktop to launch a dedicated quake 3 server in a console. There's no "run in terminal checkbox." If the command is "q3 +vars", what should have tell the launcher to do? | 19:08 |
| burkmat | ScottG: Aah.. Well then sleep is no good, because eventually it will finish. ;) I... don't know really. Maybe have it ask for input and never give any? | 19:08 |
| Slart | azlon: I've actually never measured that.. not sure if vlc is "lighter" than any of the others.. | 19:08 |
| stefg | StrangeCharm: you need a working environment first that gives you the neede info | 19:08 |
| Flannel | ScottG, burkmat: echo "" | less | 19:08 |

| imrann | not sure, gse7en try changing the "type" to app in terminal or what ever it says | 19:08 |
| Shu | My Ubuntu machine says that "Only one software management tool is allowed to tun at the same time" even though I have no other windows open and have restarted my computer 3 times. Any help? | 19:09 |
| j484r | is there a safe mode option in ubuntu? | 19:09 |
| Slart | gse7en: if you want it to run in a visible terminal you can use "gnome-terminal".. man gnome-terminal for options | 19:09 |
| burkmat | Shu: Perhaps something is running in the background. Have you tried waiting for it to finish? | 19:09 |
| lstarnes | j484r: there is a recovery mode in the boot menu | 19:09 |
| StrangeCharm | stefg, even if i already know the exact device and where to get the driver? | 19:09 |
| Slart | gse7en: you can also run "bash" with some switches.. that won't show up on your screen though.. but it will run in the background | 19:09 |
| gse7en | Slart That's not the objective. The objective is to run a program in terminal using a shortcut on the GNOME desktop, not to run a terminal. | 19:10 |

| === stefg_ is now known as stefg | ||

| Charles | greybur: what is Ur issue ? | 19:11 |
| burkmat | Shu: Huh... Using GNOME? If so, is there any gray symbol in the status bar saying anything about updates in progress? | 19:11 |

| Shu | burkmat, yes, gnome, but where's the statusbar? Is it one of the two bars on the top and bottom of my screen? Because there's no gray symbols on either | 19:12 |
| Slart | imrann: but you'll have to give us some background.. what you want to achieve and such | 19:12 |
| gwildor | not that i know of imrann , just play, have fun, break stuff, then fix it | 19:12 |

| dare | imrann, writing scripts to automate bash commands in python sounds like fun? | 19:13 |
| burkmat | imrann: I suggest you start by getting used to the command line interface (CLI). google "linux basics termminal" or such and just play around. :) | 19:13 |
| imrann | What do i want to achieve... A system that replaces Windows well without going over board, and still having fun with it | 19:13 |

| Alchemestrum | Installed Ubuntu 9.04 on my Dell XPS M1530..its suffering from the hard drive clicking noise.. some fixes suggest it should be done while others warn you could burn out your hard drive... anyone have any suggestions? | 19:24 |
| === blognewb_ is now known as blognewb | ||
| dumont | I'm in console mode | 19:24 |
| blackbeard_ | Slart : sure | 19:24 |
| burkmat | Shu: Try installing your .deb again. :) Also, if you need to paste multiple lines in the future, use http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/ :) | 19:24 |
| stefg | StrangeCharm: ok... so would it be an option to first only connect one disk to the mobo, install and set up and then putting the system over to the raid? | 19:25 |
| HighLordObsi | hmm...every time i try to open a windows driver as per the ndiswrapper instructions all it tells me is that its not a zip file :( | 19:25 |
| dumont | burkmat does useradd -r user mean that the -r option creating a system account mean that it is like root account? | 19:25 |
| dumont | how can I look up which user has which privilages via console? | 19:26 |
| StrangeCharm | stefg, because i don't want the whole system on the raid, only certain directories | 19:26 |
| stefg | StrangeCharm: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=814510 | 19:26 |
| burkmat | dumont: Uhm... My useradd doesn't seem to have an -r switch. | 19:27 |
| th0r | burkmat: try adduser | 19:27 |
| burkmat | th0r: Well, he asked about a specific useradd switch. :p figured he meant useradd. | 19:27 |
| elitedevx | is there anyway to enable the keyboard right click menu button to simulate a right click in kde? on my netbook, my touchpad right click does not work for some reason. does anyone know of a solution. the button on the keyboard does open the rightclick menu in applications such as firefox and pidgin but nothing at all if used on the desktop or anywhere else for kde itself. | 19:27 |
| stefg | StrangeCharm: fine ... so just install the / (root) system first to one directly connected disk... you can then make the raid when you have already an installed system... much easier | 19:28 |
| Zzeiss1 | Well, you can _turn it off_ (i.e. recover from a bad install) by booting in single-user terminal mode, editing your xorg.conf file, and changing the driver from whatever it is to "driver VESA". | 19:28 |
| th0r | burkmat: ah.....sorry | 19:28 |
| yowshi1 | i am getting slightly annoyed at having to reinstallmy graphics drivers every couple of weeks | 19:28 |
| Zzeiss1 | Since compiz depends on the 3-d graphics which aren't supported in VESA, it will drop back to metacity or whatever else you have. | 19:28 |
| Shu | burkmat, now I get this message in the status in the package installer: | 19:29 |
| Shu | Error: Failed to satisfy all dependencies (broken cache) | 19:29 |
| Zzeiss1 | oopps... delayed response. | 19:29 |
| StrangeCharm | stefg, so it's possible to move (say) /home to another disk later on in the process? | 19:29 |
| StrangeCharm | stefg, as in, post install? | 19:29 |
| C-S-B | StrangeCharm: yes | 19:29 |
| stefg | StrangeCharm: welcome to the wonderful of unixoid operating systems :-) ... | 19:29 |
| Halitech | StrangeCharm, yes http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome | 19:29 |
| tavi | Charles: that wont function as a redirect, though | 19:29 |
| saprophyte | how do i find the device path to my usb device? ubuntu 9.04 | 19:29 |
| Charles | tavi: ah.. must have misunderstood your question.. | 19:30 |
| Halitech | saprophyte, what type of usb device? | 19:30 |
| Keiffer | How can I make md5sum file for all the files in a folder? | 19:30 |
| burkmat | Shu: Hmm... Try `sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get check`? | 19:30 |
| saprophyte | Halitech it is a GPS reciever | 19:30 |
| Slart | Keiffer: md5sum /some/folder/* I think | 19:30 |
| Halitech | saprophyte, try lsusb | 19:30 |
| StrangeCharm | stefg, C-S-B, Halitech thanks for that, and sorry for wasting so much of your time working out that was what was needed | 19:31 |
| durt | Keiffer, you could tar or compress them. | 19:31 |
| j484r | I have ubuntu 64bit on vbox and recently ran some updates. When it rebooted it screen is all smashed up wiuth lines and swash up... would anybody know if this is a ubuntu problem or vbox? | 19:31 |
| saprophyte | Halitech its shows up there, on bus 2 it says, but im looking for the path like /dev/whatever .... noob here | 19:31 |
| Shu | now what burkmat | 19:31 |
| Keiffer | Slart, yes, but I want to export them to a .md5 file | 19:31 |
| Keiffer | for later verify | 19:31 |
| Shu | E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f. | 19:32 |
| burkmat | Shu: Does it work? ^^ | 19:32 |
| Keiffer | durt, why? why would that help me? | 19:32 |
| Shu | E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f. burkmat | 19:32 |
| Slart | Keiffer: md5sum /some/folder/* > yourfile.md5 ? | 19:32 |
| elitedevx | saprophyte: /dev/ttyUSB0 | 19:32 |
| burkmat | Shu: Ah... Try using -f. :P `sudo apt-get -f install` | 19:32 |
| Shu | y/n burkmat? | 19:32 |
| durt | Keiffer, what do you mean export them to a .md5? | 19:32 |
| Halitech | saprophyte, if its on bus 2 then probably /dev/ttyUSB1 but I'm guessing | 19:32 |
| Keiffer | durt, yes. | 19:32 |
| burkmat | Shu: Huh? | 19:33 |
| elitedevx | you can just see if your receiving a gps signal by cat'ing the device | 19:33 |
| Halitech | j484r, probably a driver issue with the video card | 19:33 |
| Shu | Do you want to continue [Y/n] | 19:33 |
| Keiffer | Slart, Thanks! it works! Tried with -a --all and stuff | 19:33 |
| burkmat | Shu: I don't know, do you? :P It's kind of hard without knowing what it's asking, but usually it's Yes... | 19:33 |
| elitedevx | try 'cat /dev/ttyUSB0' or 'cat /dev/ttyUSB1' | 19:33 |
| jjg | hi .. can someone point me to where I can learn how to create a custom ubuntu? | 19:33 |
| Shu | Sorry for all of the questions. This is my first day with Ubuntu | 19:33 |
| Keiffer | Slart, do you know how to include subfolders and how could I compare that md5 file? | 19:34 |
| saprophyte | Halitech Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0bda:0158 is what lsusb shows for it sor /dev/ttyUSB1 ? | 19:34 |
| j484r | So its is it ubuntu bug or vbox bug Halitech? | 19:34 |
| burkmat | Shu: No problem, it's just difficult to answer a Yes/No question without knowing the question. ^^ | 19:34 |
| Shu | It said it would do something that would take up 103MB..... <_< | 19:34 |
| elitedevx | saprophyte: try the commands 'cat /dev/ttyUSB0' or 'cat /dev/ttyUSB1' | 19:34 |
| === ubuntu is now known as jucajuca | ||
| jduggan | is there a channel specific to unr? | 19:34 |
| Halitech | j484r, neither, incompatiblility between xorg and your video card drivers | 19:35 |
| elitedevx | saprophyte: once you see any data then you know you got the right one | 19:35 |
| saprophyte | both are not valid directory | 19:35 |
| Slart | Keiffer: I would do something like "find ./ -exec md5sum {} \;" | 19:35 |
| Halitech | jjg, http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/minimal | 19:35 |
| burkmat | Shu: It's probably trying to fix the broken dependencies or update. | 19:35 |
| Slart | Keiffer: you can modify that to only find actual files and not folders.. check "man find" for more switches and voodoo | 19:35 |
| jucajuca | hei, I tried to rescue my grub but Ive done a root(hdX,X) to the wrong place and now I get the message unrecognized commands in grub | 19:36 |
| j484r | That is interesting, your'll have to forgive me... was working prior the kernel update i did... Halitech | 19:36 |
| jucajuca | does someone knows how to solve this | 19:36 |
| jjg | Halitech, thanks | 19:36 |
| Halitech | j484r, try reinstalling the vbox addons | 19:36 |
| elitedevx | saprophyte: send me the output of lsusb and ill let you know | 19:36 |
| Keiffer | Slart, thanks !! i'll do that | 19:36 |
| Shu | burkmat, it brought up something in the terminal that looks like it was written in C++, with 14 different bullets and <Ok> at the bottom | 19:36 |
| imrann | I know this is off topic but I just wanna say YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING AND HELPED WITH EVERY PROBLEM ID HAD AND KEEP UP THE AMAZING, GREAT WORK! | 19:36 |
| burkmat | Shu: I... Have no idea what that is, but if I had to guess I'd say it's an EULA. | 19:37 |
| Slart | Keiffer: find ./ -type f -exec {} \; will only find files.. | 19:37 |
| jjg | Halitech .. if I want to create a custom installation medium with all of the packages i want, do I simply install ubuntu .. configure it how i want, then use a utility or something to burn installation media? | 19:37 |
| Halitech | imrann, the spirit of Ubuntu at work :) | 19:37 |
| StrangeCharm | how can i check how much ram i have? | 19:37 |
| Shu | wait burkmat , I figured out how to click <ok> | 19:37 |
| imrann | halitech All hail Gnu :D | 19:37 |
| Shu | It was for some Java stuff | 19:37 |
| burkmat | Slart: What are you trying to do with find? | 19:37 |
| stefg | StrangeCharm: free -.m | 19:37 |
| Slart | Keiffer: sorry, find ./ -type f -exec md5sum {} \; will only find files.. | 19:37 |
| burkmat | Shu: Ah. Well you probably want to accept that EULA. | 19:37 |
| Keiffer | Slart, yep I see that. It's helpful. Now I am trying to find out how to export all to a file | 19:37 |
| Slart | burkmat: creating a recursive md5sum thing | 19:37 |
| Halitech | jjg, yes http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/remastersys | 19:37 |
| Slart | Keiffer: just add > somefile.md5 at the end | 19:38 |
| Keiffer | maybe find ./ -type f -exec md5sum > file.md5 {} \; | 19:38 |
| jjg | Halitech, thanks | 19:38 |
| burkmat | Slart: Ah. Alright, looked quite odd with -exec not filled with anything. :p | 19:38 |
| Slart | Keiffer: use >> instead of > ... >> means add to file.. > means replace | 19:38 |
| neo_ | hi | 19:38 |
| Slart | Keiffer: or just put it at the very end.. | 19:38 |
| NightEyes1 | does ubuntu burn .nrg images by default? | 19:39 |
| Slart | Keiffer: find ./ -type f -exec md5sum {} \; > checksum.md5 | 19:39 |
| burkmat | Slart, Keiffer; Wouldn't you want to `md5sum {} > md5filethingy`? | 19:39 |
| Keiffer | Slart, super. How did you learn all the syntax? | 19:39 |
| Slart | Keiffer: blood, sweat and tears.. mostly tears I think =) | 19:39 |
| jucajuca | hi, I tried to rescue my grub but Ive done a root(hdX,X) to the wrong place and now I get the message unrecognized commands in grub | 19:39 |
| Keiffer | Slart, cool. But any manual? :P | 19:39 |
| Slart | burkmat: won't that just overwrite the md5 file for every file | 19:39 |
| flyingtabmow | anyone know why the keyboard shortcuts preference window doesn't accept keys in combination with the super key? | 19:39 |
| Slart | Keiffer: "man find" =) | 19:39 |
| kamen | hey all. still looking for some help with my graphics, radeon HD 4200 | 19:40 |
| saprophyte | elitedevx, http://paste.ubuntu.com/248167/ | 19:40 |
| Keiffer | burkmat, that's useful too | 19:40 |
| Shu | Processing triggers for libc6 ... | 19:40 |
| Shu | ldconfig deferred processing now taking place | 19:40 |
| burkmat | Slart: Yeah, my point was more that you needed `md5sum blah >> file` rather than `md5sum >> file blah` that you had in an earlier commandline. :) | 19:40 |
| Shu | burkmat, it's done | 19:40 |
| kamen | but now more confused than ever since web says this should be already supported | 19:40 |
| burkmat | Shu: Everything working? | 19:40 |
| Shu | I'll try | 19:40 |
| stefg | Keiffer, Slart : and after a while with unix/linux everything just falls into place ... once you got the hang, everything is quite logical | 19:40 |
| elitedevx | saprophyte: your usb gps is not being detected. is it plugged in? is the device powered on? | 19:41 |
| Halitech | kamen, did you check hardware drivers and see if the driver was there? | 19:41 |
| Slart | burkmat: ah.. I wrote that? anyways.. I agree totally | 19:41 |
| saprophyte | elitedevx it is, when i unplug it, the realtek mass storage dissapears | 19:41 |
| kn100 | if an application (nexuiz) takes control of the mouse | 19:41 |
| kamen | halitech: not sure what you mean | 19:41 |
| kn100 | how can i return the mouse to ubuntu so i can reply to IM etc | 19:41 |
| elitedevx | saprophyte: what model of gps is it? | 19:41 |
| saprophyte | elitedevx tomtom one | 19:41 |
| Halitech | kamen, hardware drivers under the system menu (I think) should have the proprietary drivers if they exist | 19:42 |
| Keiffer | stefg, yea.. maybe. I have it for 4 moths now, and I only regret I didn't saw how powerful it is | 19:42 |
| kamen | halitech: yes, its there but enabling that one causes much grief. its ugly, and has already resulted in my reinstalling once | 19:42 |
| amd64 | guys, moving from debian5 to ubuntu server, will aptitude have faster/more updated packages for me? | 19:43 |
| Slart | Keiffer: "find" is one of those very useful commands to know.. any time you spend reading that man page is time well spent.. it will help you many times in the future | 19:43 |
| Halitech | kamen, what do you mean by its ugly? | 19:43 |
| kamen | however, http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=NzQyOQ this says the open source ones should already support my board fully. and I cant figure out why it aint workin | 19:43 |
| saprophyte | elitedevx, i power cycled the gps and got this in lsusb now Bus 003 Device 002: ID 1390:0001 TOMTOM B.V. | 19:43 |
| iceroot | amd64: debian is faster then ubuntu with updates | 19:43 |
| kamen | halitech: when I enable fglrx for this thing under the hardware drivers, I get the "unsupported hardware" watermark in the corner and things start freezing | 19:44 |
| Keiffer | Slar, yesterday i got stuck a the mentioned command. didnt read it cause it was soo lenghty | 19:44 |
| Shu | burkmat, it's working! Thank you | 19:44 |
| Halitech | kamen, ok, so what do you mean by the open source drivers aren't working? | 19:44 |
| ryan8403_work | is there a problem with the repos? | 19:44 |
| imran | Sorry i disconnected | 19:44 |
| j484r | whats the shutdown cmd for ubuntu in text mode? | 19:44 |
| warpcore | hello | 19:44 |
| stefg | amd64: rumour has it that ubuntu is an ancient african saying for: i can't configure debian | 19:44 |
| burkmat | Shu: Excellent, and no problem. :) Welcome to Ubuntu btw. | 19:44 |
| iceroot | ryan8403_work: working fine here | 19:44 |
| Brazz | I just used sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and a screen came up with this description: | 19:44 |

| l3dx | j484r: poweroff | 19:44 |
| lstarnes | j484r: or maybe shutdown -h now | 19:45 |
| StrangeCharm | if using two independent disks, and anticipating very memory-intensive operations, is it advisable to put a swap area on each? | 19:45 |
| Slart | j484r: shutdown -h/-r <time> | 19:45 |
| lstarnes | j484r: you might need to use it with sudo | 19:45 |
| nexsja | Can Ubuntu call me a taxi? | 19:45 |
| Keiffer | It think i should buy a 1mb video card. to be forced to use only the terminal | 19:45 |
| kamen | halitech: I cant enable visual effects, no acceleration, hell some of the screensavers are lagging on a quad core cpu O_O | 19:45 |
| marko-_- | what's the difference between packages kde and kubuntu-desktop | 19:45 |
| Halitech | amd64, depending on what version of Ubuntu you go with, it may have more updated packages then Debian Lenny | 19:45 |
| Slart | j484r: you have some specialized commands too.. halt, reboot and such | 19:45 |
| kronix | !ot | blognewb | 19:45 |
| kronix | Hmm. | 19:45 |
| ubottu | blognewb: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 19:45 |
| l3dx | nexsja: as long as you can sudo, you can do whatever you want ;) | 19:45 |
| ryan8403_work | iceroot, thanks, seems there must be something weird where i'm at then | 19:45 |
| kronix | What's the syntax for calling the bot? | 19:45 |
| lstarnes | marko-_-: kde is just kde. kubuntu-desktop includes all the applications included with ubuntu | 19:45 |
| burkmat | Guys, let's not forget telinit 0/6! the PRO way of shutting down ;) | 19:45 |
| stefg | Keiffer: sudo apt-get remove --purge xserver-xorg :-) | 19:45 |
| Slart | !bot | 19:45 |
| ubottu | Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots | 19:45 |
| nexsja | l3dx, i can sudo. What's the package? | 19:45 |
| Rob235 | hey | 19:46 |
| kronix | Thanks Slart. | 19:46 |
| iceroot | marko-_-: kubuntu-desktop is a metapackage with many applications, kde is the ide with the standard applications | 19:46 |
| Halitech | kamen, open source drivers don't always give 3d performance | 19:46 |
| nexsja | E: Couldn't find package taxi :< | 19:46 |
| amd64 | halitech: my thoughts exactly. assuming I create a new server instance every 6 months, i'm guessing ubuntu packages are newer | 19:46 |
| Brazz | I just used sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and I need someone to discuss i if I should take the next step or not, since I'm following a guide | 19:46 |
| stefg | Keiffer: then you're forced to use the terminal :-) | 19:46 |
| mneptok | nexsja: i'm about to call you a taxi to #ubuntu-ops. please don't make me dial that phone. | 19:46 |
| Rob235 | im dualbooting with ubuntu and win7, i need to reinstall the win7 boot manager but dont know how, it was so easy in xp | 19:46 |
| marko-_- | iceroot, lstarnes thanks | 19:46 |
| nexsja | mneptok, k :D | 19:46 |
| StrangeCharm | are multiple swap partitons on different disks helpful? | 19:46 |
| elitedevx | saprophyte: im sorry. im not familiar with the device. im researching an answer for you. | 19:46 |
| Keiffer | stefg, ouch....well, if you don't see me here asking for help is because i'm stuck with irssi | 19:47 |
| ryan8403_work | iceroot: kept erroring out that it couldn't download all the repo data from archives.us.ubuntu.org | 19:47 |
| Halitech | amd64, if you go with the newest version then yes but if its a production server are you going to want to update every 6 months or would you rather have stability and forget about that machine? | 19:47 |
| j484r | Thanks for the answers guys/gals | 19:47 |
| Slart | StrangeCharm: it could be.. but for a normal system I would say no | 19:47 |
| iceroot | ryan8403_work: sudo apt-get update | 19:47 |
| stefg | StrangeCharm: depends ... how much ram do you have, and what are you going to do? | 19:47 |
| kamen | what I dont get is, according to ATI my chipset doesnt exist. cant find any listing for it either for windows or linux | 19:47 |
| iceroot | ryan8403_work: gives you the error? | 19:47 |
| Brazz | ubottu: what is dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ? | 19:47 |
| ubottu | I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 19:47 |
| j484r | i better shot, and thankyou for your time in helping me... | 19:47 |
| lstarnes | Brazz: ubottu doesn't understand questions | 19:47 |
| Brazz | Ubottu: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 19:47 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 19:47 |
| saprophyte | elitedevx, ok, thank you I will sit and be patient, I posted a new paste for you of lsusb output, has tomtom in it now. http://paste.ubuntu.com/248172/ thanks | 19:48 |
| j484r | over and out | 19:48 |
| lstarnes | Brazz: that command reconfigures the package for the X server | 19:48 |
| Brazz | well seems like he understand questions better than users | 19:48 |
| asger | some of the icons on my desktop are now placed sort of outside of where i can see. It appened after i tryed to use my tv as an external screen. Anyone knows how i get the desktop back in order again? | 19:48 |
| StrangeCharm | slart - only 1Gb, and i'll be running a bunch of vms. i'm expecting to have to use a lot of viritual memory | 19:48 |
| QOOK | Help me! I was reinstall ubuntu. and... Don't exist Resolution for my monitor in Display setting. I all finished update. | 19:48 |
| Brazz | I have been following a guide to install my driver properly | 19:48 |
| Brazz | since I have been experiencing issues with all my other attempts | 19:48 |
| kamen | halitech: did you check the article I linked ya? | 19:48 |
| Brazz | now that I have used that command I want to know what i t will do exactly | 19:49 |
| Brazz | so I can proceed with the guild | 19:49 |
| Slart | StrangeCharm: ok, sounds like it might actually make a difference for you then.. let's just hope ubuntu can share the load between the swap spaces in some semi-smart manner | 19:49 |
| Brazz | otherwise I'll have to REINSTALL ubuntu again | 19:49 |
| === mithraic is now known as paulp | ||
| Brazz | istarnes: can we discuss it through a PM? | 19:49 |
| lstarnes | Brazz: it will reconfigure the settings for the package | 19:49 |
| iceroot | Brazz: first understand what a command does, then use it. this is much better / safer | 19:49 |
| kamen | the driver it mentions, xf86-video-ati, I dont have that listed in synaptic | 19:50 |
| Brazz | istarnes: have you read this article? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver | 19:50 |
| Halitech | kamen, no and now I can't find the post with it | 19:50 |
| StrangeCharm | Slart, that's what i was wondering. it's al very well thinking 'aha, but now the hdd virtual memory will be less of a bottleneck, because there are two interfaces on two disks' but that requires someone to have built that functionality efficiently | 19:50 |
| stefg | StrangeCharm: swap lost a lot of imprtance in the age of dirt cheap ram... swap is slow anyway. you could boost perfomance a bit by having two equally sized swap partitions right on the beginning of the disk and moutnt them with the same priority. The kernel will use them cleverly as a strped set (raid0). but rather spend 20 bucks on more ram | 19:50 |
| lstarnes | Brazz: no, but I will | 19:50 |
| kamen | halitech: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=NzQyOQ | 19:50 |
| Brazz | iceroot: i try not to do things i dont udnerstand but honestly its one way to find out about things | 19:50 |
| Brazz | since not always people answer my stupid questions | 19:51 |
| iceroot | Brazz: yeah thats true | 19:51 |
| lstarnes | Brazz: where do you see 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' ? | 19:51 |
| Brazz | and I can understand they can be stupid sometimes but that's just how it is when you decide to start something | 19:51 |
| ryan8403_work | iceroot, right that it failed trying to get http://us.archive.ubuntu.com jaunty-security/(all sub repos) Translation-en_US | 19:51 |
| amd64 | iceroot: my lenny has nginx 6.32 while the official stable is 7.61 - how safe would that be... | 19:51 |
| Slart | StrangeCharm: stefg has some valid points.. but you do what you want with your hardware.. I would give the multiple swap files/partitions thing a try | 19:52 |
| NameEarl | Hi everobody ive got some problem with mu ubuntu 9.04, idont have any sound:/ | 19:52 |
| lstarnes | amd64: the version that is in the repositories will be patched to fix major security vulnerabilities and bugs | 19:52 |
| Brazz | istarnes: in one of his steps, just before the "configuring X.org", the one who created the guild does give a link to be checked out | 19:52 |
| iceroot | amd64: you have to understand the difference between security-update and major-release update | 19:52 |
| * kn100 is considering switching to kubuntu | 19:52 | |
| ryan8403_work | iceroot, seems like its every couple of tries too, so maybe a problem with one of the sites | 19:53 |
| Brazz | istarnes: this link talks about removing all the last bits of the fglrx | 19:53 |
| StrangeCharm | Slart, stefg, it's all very well saying that ram is cheap, but my budget for implementation here is 'this room has a bunch of computers and computer pieces in it, i'm sure there's enough to make something work' any ram that i want at this stage, i'd have to pay for. | 19:53 |
| Brazz | istarnes: before you install the ati driver | 19:53 |
| dumont | which config file specifies which commands to run upon reboot\restart ? | 19:53 |
| NameEarl | Someone could help? i installed alsa 1.0.20 and thers no changes | 19:53 |
| lstarnes | Brazz: I think I see where it is | 19:53 |
| Brazz | instarnes: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/FglrxInteferesWithRadeonDriver the link | 19:53 |
| amd64 | lstarnes/iceroot: thanks. that cleared up something for me. | 19:53 |
| Halitech | kamen, ok, but seeing as how Ubuntu follows their own convention what might work on another distro may not work on Ubuntu, and vice versa | 19:53 |
| stefg | StrangeCharm: any other boxes to steal ram from ? | 19:53 |
| ryan8403_work | iceroot, correction, here is the full error http://pastebin.com/d63b13a83 | 19:54 |
| Brazz | istarnes: then under the topic Problem: "Need to fully remove -fglrx and reinstall -ati from scratch" there is a list of commands one is supposed to follow | 19:54 |
| lstarnes | Brazz: I see | 19:54 |
| kamen | right. fglrx = catalyst, right? | 19:54 |
| Brazz | and the dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg is the last part | 19:54 |
| iceroot | amd64: if you are using debian, you are always behind new versions but debian software is more stable/tested then ubuntu-software | 19:54 |
| RadSurfer2 | I am having difficulty installing 9.04, can someone please help | 19:54 |
| Brazz | istarnes: alright, so having a look at both links do you think that this dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg is a necessary part? | 19:55 |
| Halitech | kamen, you can probably follow the same instructions that Brazz pointed lstarnes to | 19:55 |
| lstarnes | Brazz: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg will likely open up a console dialog asking you for input for configuring xorg | 19:55 |
| lstarnes | Brazz: it likely may be | 19:55 |
| dumont | which config file specifies which commands to run upon reboot\restart ? I need the server to start vncserver automatically under a specified user | 19:55 |
| iceroot | amd64: so many people prefer debian stable for servers instead of ubuntu-server (which is based on debian unstable) | 19:55 |
| stefg | StrangeCharm: so what'S your plan? wnat a file server and a firewall? Got only 1G of Ram... fine! will run | 19:55 |
| lstarnes | dumont: it's several files | 19:55 |
| lstarnes | dumont: /etc/rc.local is one of them | 19:55 |
| RadSurfer2 | my video goes all wacky for some reason... is there a setting to over-ride default video mode? | 19:55 |
| Brazz | istarnes: yes it did open a console, and atm I am wondering if I should accept it or not | 19:55 |

| iceroot | ryan8403_work: ah i see, canoncial is donw for me too | 19:55 |
| kamen | looking | 19:55 |
| StrangeCharm | stefg, the computers have cleverly been purchased so that each one is from a different ram era. there's a very low level of cross-compatibility. besides, there are some benefits to getting the other machines up independantly | 19:55 |
| Halitech | lstarnes, Brazz xorg does nada anymore when it comes to configuring X | 19:55 |
| RadSurfer2 | And what do I do when I get to Ubuntu installer main menu? | 19:56 |
| Brazz | istarnes: you have been quite helpful, thank you very much! | 19:56 |
| iceroot | ryan8403_work: i cant update acroread at the moment from that repo | 19:56 |
| dumont | lstarnes I have vncserver, I'd like for it to start running upon restart, under a normal user, not under root | 19:56 |
| kpkeerthi | cpufrequency scaling is kind of weird for me. when i cold boot it sometimes doesn't work (cpu will stick at 800Mhz). if I reboot it starts to work. this is one last thing i need fixed. any help is much appreciated. | 19:56 |

| Brazz | lstarnes: o I see | 19:56 |
| Brazz | lstarnes: no wonder why I couldn't "tab" your name | 19:57 |
| Brazz | lstarnes: I appologize. now I'll run the command and follow the rest of the guide. | 19:57 |
| ryan8403_work | iceroot, okay, i just wanted to make sure that it "wasn't just me" i'll have to check back later | 19:57 |
| kamen | halitech: I did a fresh reinstall of ubuntu, have not enabled fglrx on this one. that link does not apply in my case | 19:57 |
| stefg | StrangeCharm: that's the point... but using the right virtualization solution they will only consume as much ram as they need. You only specify the MAX... if it needs less, it won't use it from the host | 19:57 |
| Brazz | lstarnes: before I reboot my computer again I'll come back here to tell you how it all went and after reboot (if I get through the loggin) I'll tell you the result | 19:58 |
| Halitech | kamen, ok, other then not being able to enable compiz, whats wrong with the way your system works? | 19:58 |

| StrangeCharm | stefg, i absolutely agree about that desired behaviour. nonetheless, i would to allow for the most flexibility possible, especially since hdd space is the least limited resource here (relatively speaking) | 20:00 |
| kamen | unknown yet. this is the first time I've had a machine this powerful, I'd like to be able to use it. but theres somn wrong when a screensaver lags | 20:00 |
| stefg | StrangeCharm: what are you going to run inside the vm's ? | 20:00 |
| Halitech | kamen, there's no mention of the 4200HD on the ati driver page | 20:00 |

| kamen | I know. thats whats confusing me | 20:01 |
| kamen | well, one of the things | 20:01 |
| Halitech | kamen, http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx chances are its not supported by their driver | 20:01 |

| kamen | but I've seen a few places say catalyst and opensource both support it | 20:02 |
| StrangeCharm | stefg, i have a few items that are on the list for 'now' including a LAMP webserver, a fileserver, a mailserver and so on, but i want to be able to add new functionality as needed | 20:02 |

My browser prompted me to install missing Flash plugins, so I chose to install Shockwave Flash 9.0 r999 (libswfdecmozilla.so), and it works, but every time it loads a Flash applet, it prompts you to press a "play" button before it can be used.

| jacquesdupontd | bucky, i've learnt all step by step as i was needing it time after time but it can be useful thx for the advice, anyway i always found a solution even if i don't go the faster way | 20:45 |
| bucky | jacquesdupontd: this is NOT your home directory "~/home/jacques" | 20:46 |
| jacquesdupontd | bucky, for sure i know | 20:46 |
| jerkman | stefg: ah, ok, but where do i get those sources from? | 20:46 |
| jacquesdupontd | bucky, read me i made a mistake on 1 sentence just because of attention | 20:46 |
| jacquesdupontd | bucky, i use linux since 5 years | 20:46 |
| Aepos | Gnea: what were those commands again? | 20:46 |
| Aepos | Gnea: Sorry. | 20:46 |
| stefg | jerkman: nvidia-driver == closed source ... only the 'adapter' is build from source | 20:47 |
| jacquesdupontd | bucky, i know its either /home/jacquesdupontd/ or ~/ i learnt him about the ~/ just upper in the discussino | 20:47 |
| Aepos | "sudo apt-get remove adobe-flashplugin" then what? | 20:47 |
| jerkman | stefg: yes, unless i choose open source driver :(. where do i get the 'adaptor' from? | 20:47 |
| stefg | jerkman: i have not fully investigated the problem, but your kernel build was succesful in general, you only have to deal with the nvidia specialities | 20:47 |
| Aepos | Gnea: What were the commands to run? | 20:48 |
| Zobin | Hey people. I'm trying to set up the dual display for my ATI Radeon X850 XT. Using Ubuntu 9.04 | 20:48 |
| jacquesdupontd | bucky, btw i've seen something im not sure about, before on other version of ubuntu in the terminal when i was typing ~/ + tab then it was putting me the user directory but now you have to directly put the next directory you want to go to, it's pretty much the same but i don't know the explanation of this change | 20:49 |
| DrRighteous | Can someeone tell me what the default root pass or how to set the root pass for vmbuilder creating a new VM? | 20:49 |
| jerkman | stefg: so where do i get it from... | 20:49 |
| stefg | jerkman: the 'adapter' is the nvidia.ko which adapts the nvidia driver blob (binary large object) to the kernel. When you build the 'driver' you actually only build the adapter | 20:49 |
| Slart | DrRighteous: for an ubuntu guest? | 20:49 |
| DrRighteous | Slart: yes | 20:49 |
| huffman | How late do the developers add new versions to ubuntu before a release? | 20:50 |
| Slart | DrRighteous: ubuntu doesn't use a root password.. sudo is the recommended way to go | 20:50 |
| Gnea | Aepos: a) quit firefox, b) remove your plugin, like so: sudo apt-get remove adobe-flashplugin c) install the nonfree plugin, like so: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree d) launch firefox | 20:50 |
| Halitech | Zobin, support for that card has been dropped, 9.3 is the last catalyst driver ati has released and I don't think it works in 9.04 | 20:50 |
| iceroot | huffman: until freeze | 20:50 |
| Zobin | Halitech: Ok, so is there any way to fix it? | 20:50 |
| iceroot | !freeze | 20:50 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about freeze | 20:50 |
| Zobin | I don't need the catalyst driver. Just anything that works with this | 20:50 |
| Halitech | Zobin, revert back to 8.10 or buy a new card | 20:50 |
| Pici | huffman: The schedule for the next release can be found here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KarmicReleaseSchedule | 20:50 |

| bucky | jacquesdupontd: cd ../ pwd cd ~/ pwd | 20:51 |
| Zobin | Halitech: So it works in 8.10? | 20:51 |
| stefg | jerkman: package nvidia-source | 20:51 |
| iceroot | huffman: sorry cant find a specific timeline | 20:51 |
| JuzFX | Hello | 20:51 |
| huffman | Thanks | 20:51 |
| Slart | DrRighteous: you can type !root, !sudo or !supportroot for additional info on the "root password" issue | 20:51 |
| Halitech | Zobin, it should ... not sure of any way of doing dual display without the ati catalyst | 20:51 |
| Mrokii | joeyeye, sorry, but your solution doesn't work. If I run the game in fullscreen I can't switch between the workspaces. I guess I really need two virtual screens | 20:51 |
| stefg | !info nvidia-source | 20:51 |
| ubottu | Package nvidia-source does not exist in jaunty | 20:51 |
| Zobin | Halitech: Ok, so if I install 8.10 I should download ATI 9.3 ? | 20:52 |
| Slart | !find nvidia | 20:52 |
| ubottu | Found: nvidia-173-modaliases, nvidia-180-modaliases, nvidia-71-modaliases, nvidia-96-modaliases, nvidia-common (and 17 others) | 20:52 |
| stefg | !info nvidia-180-kernel-source | jerkman | 20:52 |
| ubottu | jerkman: nvidia-180-kernel-source (source: nvidia-graphics-drivers-180): NVIDIA binary kernel module source. In component restricted, is optional. Version 180.44-0ubuntu1 (jaunty), package size 2707 kB, installed size 8368 kB (Only available for i386 amd64) | 20:52 |

| Halitech | Zobin, but I would probably go 8.04 just due to its longer support time | 20:53 |
| jerkman | stefg: so where do i get it from... | 20:53 |
| JuzFX | Does anyone know if you can use bootcamp on mac to install ubuntu instead of win? | 20:53 |
| stefg | jerkman: apt-get | 20:53 |
| jerkman | yes, done it thanks | 20:53 |
| Slart | JuzFX: I can't say for sure.. but windows is much more of a diva compared to linux..so if windows works I would suspect linux to work too | 20:54 |
| jacquesdupontd | bucky, i expressed myself wrongly but that doesn't matter anyway | 20:54 |
| jrib | JuzFX: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages | 20:54 |

| deany | Aepos, it`ll work eventually, takes me 2-3 goes usualy | 20:57 |
| Aepos | Aww. | 20:57 |
| deany | JuzFX, it does take time, as much time as your connection needs, unless its a modified file which then uses delta info to only upload the changes. | 20:58 |

| JuzFX | i mean i know you cant do sudo apt-get file or anything | 21:00 |
| boohaha | yes | 21:00 |
| Guiri | Thanks Halitech | 21:01 |
| Halitech | JuzFX, not all and Mac is actually based on a BSD fork, not linux | 21:01 |
| Aepos | Umm, it should be usr/bin, right? I may be wrong. | 21:01 |
| stefg | JuzFX: POSIX makes you smile :-) | 21:01 |
| Aepos | deany: Wow. About 8 kbps DL rate. | 21:02 |
| JuzFX | I just thought since bsd linux mac all came from unix somewhere down the road some of the commands would be alike | 21:02 |

| ubottu | JuzFX: 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 | 21:03 |
| dr3mro | ubuntu is soo simple that i find windows now so difficult to use | 21:03 |
| Slart | vonkleist: who is bourne.. and what did he do to deserve being reborn as a shell? =) | 21:04 |
| Gnea | JuzFX: most shell commands are pretty much the same. there's a certain 'core' set that remains. the trick is differentiating which ones are and aren't. | 21:04 |
| vonkleist | Slart, r u kidding? | 21:04 |
| JuzFX | So linux calls there bash Terminal and mac Command Line? | 21:04 |
| Slart | vonkleist: yes.. nevermind me | 21:04 |
| jacquesdupontd | bucky, im saying before, you were typing "cd ~/ + tab" and it was becoming "cd /home/userdir/" i know all this command to list folders | 21:05 |
| Aepos | JuzFX: That's not universal. KDE calls it Konsole. | 21:05 |
| vonkleist | linux doesn't call bash in anyway | 21:05 |
| Gnea | stefg: and, actually, it doesn't matter what shell you use, the same commands will be available, unless you set your environment path differently | 21:05 |
| stefg | JuzFX: no... both call the command line interpreter bash | 21:05 |
| Aepos | Some people call it terminal, console, konsole, cli. | 21:05 |
| Gnea | JuzFX: a commandline is usually part of a terminal | 21:05 |
| bucky | Boohbah: /var/cache/apt/archives/ | 21:05 |
| huffman | JuzFX: That's the terminal emulator. Bash is the command line interpreter, of which there are many (bash, zsh, csh, etc.) | 21:05 |

| Gnea | Aepos: awesome | 21:06 |
| Cyber_Akuma | for download I mean | 21:06 |

| ubottu | JuzFX: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for client usage. Putty is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) | 21:06 |
| erisco | how could this possibly be happening? | 21:07 |
| stefg | Gnea: right ... it's just quite hard to understand the meaning of a tty, a shell and what POSIX is if you're new to unix/linux | 21:07 |
| Gnea | erisco: because opera sucks | 21:07 |
| Gnea | stefg: this is true | 21:07 |
| JuzFX | I mean what would you use SSH for? | 21:07 |
| erisco | Gnea, but it is running, for example, JBox2D much better | 21:07 |
| dumont | thanks | 21:07 |
| Gnea | JuzFX: in place of telnet | 21:07 |
| JuzFX | !telnet | 21:07 |
| ubottu | telnet is not safe. Please use ssh instead. See !ssh | 21:07 |
| erisco | Gnea, Firefox will repeatedly freeze every few seconds while Opera will run it smoothly | 21:08 |
| Gnea | erisco: jbox2d is a web browser? | 21:08 |
| vonkleist | JuZFX, to connect to your servers via a command line | 21:08 |

| ndroftheline | Hey all I'm having trouble getting an external HD to mount | 21:31 |
| jrib | ndroftheline: what kind of trouble....? | 21:31 |
| ndroftheline | I pulled it out of an old computer here at the lab and I have to pull off sensitive data and trash it | 21:31 |
| iceroot | !mount | ndroftheline | 21:31 |
| ubottu | ndroftheline: mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount | 21:31 |
| Guest67317 | thanks you verry much it work | 21:31 |
| iceroot | Guest67317: eject or sudo eject? | 21:31 |
| ejv | jrib: "no dice" is used to indicate that there is no chance or probability of the event happening. Dice represents the likelyhood of whatever item taking place (by the roll of the die), and not having dice means that there is not even a slim chance. | 21:31 |

| donnybrasco | bucky: ok, so should I delete .asoundrc and re-install? | 21:52 |
| iceroot | j_lemens: and application is using the cd-rom. the dirty way is "sudo eject" and it will open | 21:52 |
| bucky | donnybrasco: if you have a *file* called .asoundrc mv .asoundrc asoundrc.bak and apt-get install --reinstall asoundconf-gtk | 21:52 |
| ndroftheline | gnr, it's already on pastebin, there's no recognizable partition table | 21:52 |

| Cube | ok this is dirving me mad. why is firefox loading the SAME tabs all the time again? it seems like its thinks its starting for the first time all the time. 3.5.2 is the version. it also makes every plugin think firefox starts for the first time. what should i do!?!?!?!?!?! | 21:52 |

| bankix | jduggan: Due I don't need high frame rates here, I'll stay with the old driver till 9.10. | 21:55 |
| ndroftheline | joeyeye, i hadn't thought of that | 21:55 |
| donnybrasco | bucky: I can't tell you how much I appreciate the help :) | 21:55 |
| ndroftheline | joeyeye, what does that tell you? | 21:55 |
| joeyeye | ndroftheline: or maybe part of a RAID set ? | 21:55 |
| iceroot | frodon1: just install to the usb device and in the installation say grub to write to the usb-drive, not the hdd | 21:55 |
| gnr | ndroftheline:it's in dapper.... http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/base/mac-fdisk , only mac arch is the req | 21:55 |
| iceroot | jduggan: which driver? | 21:55 |
| bankix | SkyTech: Slackware of course... | 21:55 |
| hackel | SkiDawg, probably...UNIX. If that's what you're interested in. | 21:56 |
| stefg | ndroftheline: no... it would just have sped things up ... bs != bullshit .. bs==block size :-) | 21:56 |
| jduggan | iceroot: bankix suggests youre running intel driver not from the main repos | 21:56 |
| ndroftheline | joeyeye, nah its not raid it was in the system by itself and it hadn't been opened in years | 21:56 |

| gpled | i think it is missing from the package | 21:56 |
| iceroot | jduggan: i am running intel-drivers from ppa (for my eeepc because intel drivers from the repos are very very verY!! bad) wait i will search for the link | 21:56 |
| iceroot | frodon1: yes, its asking | 21:57 |
| donnybrasco | bucky: ok- so the program's reinstalled with no errors upon startup | 21:57 |
| jduggan | iceroot: thanks | 21:57 |
| hackel | SkyTech, no, it's NOT easier to learn--that's why it's better for a beginner--you'll learn more. :) But Linux != UNIX. | 21:57 |

| === skult is now known as gilbert | ||
| guntbert | !gksudo | hellhound (that may be why) | 22:00 |
| ubottu | hellhound (that may be why): 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) | 22:00 |

| ndroftheline | Dark_Wolf, meaning...you installed it from the repos or you're compiling a new build nightly? | 22:01 |
| joeyeye | ndroftheline: well the device is mounted, right - so maybe the hpfs fs driver doesn't care about the partition table being empty? | 22:01 |

| bieb | VCoolio: so there is no way to just change the timer setting | 22:06 |
| ndroftheline | Dark_Wolf, or you can just avoid sleeping it. i bet you could put i tto sleep if you killed X before you slept it, and started x again after it woke up. | 22:06 |
| Dark_Wolf | ndroftheline, exactly. 16 or 17 megs takes like 3 hours | 22:06 |

| guntbert | hellhound: I remember similar problems from running *some* gui-program with sudo (wrong permissions on the xAuthorities file, but I don't remember how to repair...): look at the permissions though, in your homedir there should be no files owned by root | 22:07 |
| VCoolio | bieb: I can't find it, but there is a file you can edit for sure, the hardcoding way; but don't know if and where | 22:07 |

| Deevz | prince_j1mmys, thank you, I stumbled upon it a few minutes ago already | 22:13 |

| guntbert | hellhound: nice, though as to why??? - remember: use gksudo with graphical apps and sudo for console apps | 22:14 |
| FW | antonio_: Ubuntu CAN use all of it, it's just super efficient | 22:15 |
| FW | atonio_: it's well built, so programs use less RAM | 22:15 |
| bankix | antonio_: If ubuntu doesn't need your ram, where is the advantage to fill it with scrap? | 22:15 |
| hydrozen | what's a good ftp server on linux that doesnt require to create actual accounts on the box? | 22:15 |
| FW | hydrozen: have you looked at PureFTP? | 22:16 |
| antonio_ | I guess that the more programs use ram the faster tun | 22:16 |
| antonio_ | run | 22:16 |
| hellhound | guntbert, thank you for the reminder!!! | 22:16 |
| david___ | guys flash is not working for my computer i tried reinstalling it but videos still look messed up | 22:16 |
| guntbert | hellhound: :-) | 22:16 |
| hydrozen | FW: i just messed with VSftp for now... but doesnt seem to work for me | 22:16 |
| bankix | antonio_: That doesn't make sense... | 22:16 |
| antonio_ | really?? | 22:16 |
| === prince_j1mmys is now known as prince_jammys | ||
| FW | hydrozen: I'll double check, see if PureFTP is what you're after :) | 22:17 |
| antonio_ | is it better using the disk then? | 22:17 |
| norman_ | hola a todos | 22:17 |
| bankix | antonio_: If a program has "only" 150 MByte size, why should it fill more RAM? | 22:17 |
| Hilikus_ | my ubuntu still thinks i'm using wubi instead of it's own partition so when i recreate the grub menu it messes everything up pointing to the wrong place and not booting at all. how do i fix this? | 22:17 |
| === yacc__ is now known as yacc | ||
| bankix | antonio_: No, it's not using the disk, it's just not huge. | 22:17 |
| Tumie | i accendently removed a startup application (system -> preferences -> startup applications), it was the first one .. can someone check the Name & Command for me ? | 22:17 |
| FW | hydrozen: Yeeessss, PureFTP does that :D | 22:17 |
| Fanatic | antonio_: if you have a bottle with the size of 1 l, but only 200ml of water - you will have 20% usage | 22:17 |
| david___ | guys how should i fix flash | 22:17 |
| Fanatic | why should you fill the other 80% with crap | 22:18 |
| antonio_ | no, but for example, firefox is using 350MB on win, while on ubuntu just 150M | 22:18 |
| mefistofelix | vsftpd rulez | 22:18 |
| Fanatic | so firefox on win fails | 22:18 |
| bankix | antonio_: Yes. | 22:18 |
| FW | tumie: sure | 22:18 |
| bankix | antonio_: And where is the problem? | 22:18 |
| QAH | Is there a way of installing Ubuntu Server 9.04 on a second hard drive partition using the guided install? | 22:18 |
| norman_ | alguien sabe como puedo controlar el procesador : velocidad | 22:18 |
| Tumie | FW: ok, | 22:18 |
| bucky | Tumie: AT SPI Registry Wrapper ? | 22:19 |
| antonio_ | the problem is that I'm just guessing if ubuntu free the allocation too early | 22:19 |
| FW | tumie: it's called AT-SPI Registry Wrapper for me | 22:19 |
| bankix | antonio_: It isn't. | 22:19 |
| jrib | QAH: aren't you able to choose whatever partition you want? | 22:19 |
| antonio_ | just guessing, maybe it has low cache in RAM | 22:19 |
| Tumie | FW: and you have jaunty desktop ? | 22:19 |
| bucky | Tumie: point to /usr/lib/gnome-session/helpers/at-spi-registryd-wrapper | 22:19 |
| jrib | QAH: oh "guided" -- not sure | 22:19 |
| FW | tumie: Command is /usr/lib/gnome-session/helpers/at-spi-registryd-wrapper | 22:19 |
| QAH | jrib: On the guided, I can't seem to do that | 22:19 |
| FW | Tumie: But of course :D | 22:19 |
| mefistofelix | there is some sendmail compatible command that directly send to the specified (config) smtp server? | 22:19 |
| antonio_ | because I'm not understanding why firefox is so slowly in ubunut | 22:19 |
| QAH | jrib: I can on the desktop edition, but not server | 22:19 |
| bankix | antonio: Why can't you believe programmes are smaller for ubuntu than for windows? | 22:20 |
| norman_ | ubuntu.es ??? | 22:20 |
| Tumie | ok, added it.. | 22:20 |
| norman_ | www.ubuntu.es | 22:20 |
| NoGe | haiyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah | 22:20 |
| Fanatic | antonio_: firefox never uses 'exactly' the same amount of ram, and on linux, there is also shared ram (used by shared libs and so on) | 22:20 |
| bucky | antonio_: get ipv6 support out of about:config .. google for it | 22:20 |
| Tumie | FW: is it right that the second is Bluetooth Manager? | 22:20 |
| FW | Tumie: I'd tell you if i knew, i'm not sure - but it sounds about right | 22:21 |
| QAH | Anyway, what is the best way for a manual setup? | 22:21 |
| mefistofelix | Fanatic: also on windows there are shared libs in memory between processes | 22:21 |
| antonio_ | I tried to configure it through about:config | 22:21 |
| Tumie | FW: can't you check it? | 22:21 |
| QAH | What options should I use for manual partitioning? I have never done ie | 22:21 |
| bankix | antonio_: What did you configure? | 22:21 |
| guntbert | antonio_: you will see, if you demand more of your system the RAM usage will go up :-), to me your question is a bit strange - most people are concerned that linux uses "nearly all" the RAM, but believe: memory management is fine in linux, no need to tweak anything there | 22:21 |
| antonio_ | firefox, but it is slowly, and since I'm a programmer too, I would understnd | 22:21 |
| bucky | Question: Why did Ubuntu decide to build ipv6 support into the kernel instead of as a module ..did their debian testing upstream decide to do this as well ?? | 22:22 |
| bankix | QAH: There should be no problem if you do the partitioning. | 22:22 |
| FW | tumie: No description, so i'm not sure. | 22:22 |
| hackel | antonio_, Firefox is not slow for the rest of us. You have a unique issue not specifically related to Ubuntu. | 22:22 |
| QAH | bankix: I know, but I have never done manual partitioning. What are the recommended settings? | 22:22 |
| Tumie | FW: check the list with startup applications,, is the second named 'bluetooth manager' ? | 22:22 |
| Tourn | Hey, can i make an xubuntu Persistant linux USB without booting from the xubuntu liveCD? | 22:22 |

| bankix | QAH: Caution with the bootloader installation step! | 22:24 |
| antonio_ | I did this observation, the start process (of any program) is really fast, more and more than win, so the operating sistem is capable to bring the application up in a short time, once the application is running, in my opinion there is some bottlenech | 22:24 |
| QAH | bankix: Thanks again | 22:24 |

| antonio_ | I'm pretty sure that there is something strange in RAM handling, because the SO starts in very short time, and as told before applications are starting as well rapidly, so I would expect very high performance also when app runs | 22:31 |

| ActionParsnip | antonio_: ump of the firefox bandwagon, there are less resource hungy browsers but everyone is firefox brainwashed | 22:38 |
| Cyber_Akuma | I like firefox because of its plugin ability | 22:38 |
| atomic007za | bankix: partition numbering? | 22:38 |
| Cyber_Akuma | even though opera and even ie6 outperforms it on my desktop | 22:38 |
| bankix | atomic007za: The important part is the formatting. Look at the /etc/fstab of your system again. You'll have to set the same UUIDs for the partitions as mentioned in this file. | 22:39 |
| ActionParsnip | Cyber_Akuma: you can use firepup or swiftfox which will run with much less resource use | 22:39 |

| mefistofelix | why not 3.5? | 22:39 |
| ActionParsnip | bucky: run top while it runs, look at how resource hungry it is | 22:39 |
| bankix | atomic007za: Partition numbering: If /dev/sda1 is the swap partition on your old disk, use /dev/sdb1 for your new swap partition. | 22:39 |
| kad_ | ActionParsnip, using Synaptic Package manager, there is also no proxy! then why it give me like that? | 22:39 |
| atomic007za | ok IC thanks | 22:40 |
| l3dx | jcloud: I don't know, but there _could_ be a grease monkey script for it | 22:40 |
| bankix | atomic007za: When using "mkswap" to format your swap partition, give it the option "-U " followed by the UUID listed in your old /etc/fstab. | 22:40 |
| ActionParsnip | Cyber_Akuma: is the image i gave ok for your cds? | 22:40 |
| Cyber_Akuma | Its a scan :( | 22:40 |
| ActionParsnip | Cyber_Akuma: yeah....? | 22:41 |
| bankix | atomic007za: It's the same with mke2fs for formatting the root and home partition: Use "-U " followed by the UUID listed in the /etc/fstab for that partition. | 22:41 |
| atomic007za | bankix: do I do this when booting in the live cd | 22:41 |
| Ali_nz | unop: to make it real good I am using /dev/random !! | 22:41 |
| Cyber_Akuma | Do you have a source image, not a scan of a cd? | 22:41 |
| Zobin | Which catalyst driver should I use for Ubuntu 8.04? Which is the best? | 22:41 |
| bankix | bankix: You do this with any live linux you like, preferably use a ubuntu CD. | 22:42 |

| macgyver_ | Sahdos, when I run "nautilus &" in a term I have the fuctionality back | 23:10 |
| Zobin | I don't need to type "sudo chmod" just "chmod" right? | 23:10 |
| macgyver_ | Sahdos, but if I close the term or reboot its gone | 23:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Zobin: chmod +x ATi.... whtever the filenmae is. I dont know te exact name of the file so you ill have to be the smart one here | 23:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Zobin: no, its your file so you do not need sudo | 23:10 |
| macgyver_ | Zobin, --> sh ati.file here.bin | 23:10 |
| Sahdos | macgyver_: it's an intermittent issue then? | 23:11 |
| bankix | kad: Yes, this is a source of the kernel. There are many mirrors, though. | 23:11 |
| Zobin | If i type "dir" should I see the file if it is in the same folder? | 23:11 |

| hvgotcodes | if i install aurora gtk engine will the default gtk engine still work? | 23:13 |
| Zobin | how do I browse to another folder in Terminal? | 23:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Zobin: if you dnload stuffto the root of home instead of the desktop, your system will look neater and you will know exactly whee stff is | 23:13 |
| bankix | kad: But there could be other patches, maybe the creator of the pach did notice something? | 23:13 |
| Zobin | thanks dudes | 23:14 |
| kad_ | bankix, aha ok thx : 2.6.28-11 ( the 11 is the patch number right?) | 23:14 |
| Sahdos | macgyver_: swiss army knife? | 23:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Zobin: open nautilus and drag the file off the desktop to the nautilus window. The default location for nautilus to start is ~/ so is easy to locate | 23:14 |
| bankix | kad: And you'll have normally to sit in the kernel directory (/usr/src/linux/2.6.28 or whatever version) to apply the patch. | 23:14 |
| bankix | kad: -11 is the patch_level_ this means this is the 11th modified version of kernel 2.6.28. | 23:14 |
| macgyver_ | Sahdos, ? | 23:14 |
| macgyver_ | Sahdos, what does netcat have to do with this :P | 23:15 |

| kad_ | bankix, then how ? | 23:17 |
| Sahdos | bankix: can you stab someone with it? | 23:17 |
| macgyver_ | Sahdos, yes mate, I am not making it up | 23:17 |
| ActionParsnip | FastZ: For computer to computer communicaion you need a dfferent cable to on that conects a computer to a router | 23:17 |
| bankix | kad: This would produce a kernel with the defaults of the kernel developers, not with the ubuntu defaults. | 23:17 |
| FastZ | ActionParsnip, I don't need a cross-over cable. one of the boxes is a router/firewall | 23:18 |
| bankix | Sahdos: stab someone? Sorry, did not understand that. | 23:18 |

| bankix | kad: No. | 23:18 |
| Sahdos | why would someone not have right click capability? system -> preferences -> mouse? | 23:19 |
| Strider22 | fastz: straight cables go from router to computer. Crossover cables from computer to computer or from router to router. | 23:19 |
| bankix | Sahdos: Ah, got it. No, but it could be killing as well... just show the bash-ftp-clients source to someone, you could be offended murderer ;-) | 23:19 |
| ActionParsnip | FastZ: i bet if you try a crosover cable it will work | 23:19 |
| bankix | kad: Have a look in /boot. | 23:19 |
| kad_ | bankix, ok | 23:19 |
| FastZ | ActionParsnip, im trying to connect one maching to the green interface of the router/firewall box, but when i do this, neither NIC shows the connection as being valid, yet when i connect another computer to the same green interface, it works perfectly and likewise, when i connect the PC to my wireless router via cable, the NIC works perfectly | 23:19 |
| bankix | kad: THere you'll find the config of the ubuntu kernel. | 23:19 |
| Sahdos | bankix: <elephantman> I am not a murderer! </elephantman> | 23:19 |
| Sahdos | bankix: I'll have to read the man page in its entirety, I am still contemplating macgyver_'s issue | 23:20 |
| FastZ | Strider22, exactly, that's why i don't need a x-over cable like ActionParsnip is recommending | 23:20 |
| Sahdos | problem | 23:20 |
| bankix | kad: Copy this to the new kernel directory, then "make menuconfig" and load an alternate config file. | 23:20 |
| GibGob | mmmmmmm burning disks sux when it fails... | 23:20 |
| bankix | kad: When prompted for the filename, enter the name of the old config. | 23:20 |
| bankix | kad: then save alternate config file and name it ".config". | 23:20 |
| Sahdos | what is the nettiquette for pms? | 23:20 |
| ActionParsnip | FastZ: is the interface up? | 23:21 |
| Strider22 | Fastz: The nic in a computer configured as a router doesn't change the hardware. The nic is still a computer nic. you need a crossover because it is really computer nic to computer nic. | 23:21 |
| FastZ | ActionParsnip, both ints are up, all TCP/IP information is correct on both | 23:21 |
| kad_ | bankix, i copy the config-2.6.28-13-generic to new kernel directory ? right? | 23:21 |
| bankix | kad: This way, you'll keep all settings still applicable to the new kernel and get the default settings for the new features/options. | 23:21 |
| bankix | kad: Exactly. | 23:21 |
| brotkasten | FastZ: sounds like a driver problem | 23:21 |
| FastZ | brotkasten, why would it be a driver problem if the NICs work perfectly as long as they are not connected to one another? | 23:22 |
| FastZ | let me build a x-over cable and try it | 23:22 |
| brotkasten | FastZ: because not event the NIC light comes on | 23:22 |
| ActionParsnip | FastZ: what if you connectthe nic to another device or even a different port on the same interconnection device | 23:22 |
| kad_ | bankix, thx alot :) | 23:22 |
| Sahdos | maybe macgyver_ meant right click menu... | 23:22 |
| FastZ | brotkasten, the link lights come on if i connect any other device to them | 23:23 |
| brotkasten | FastZ: ok .. then it's probably not | 23:23 |
| brotkasten | FastZ: but the cable is ok? | 23:23 |
| FastZ | ActionParsnip, lemme build a x-over right quick and test that, if it works, the i owe you an apology | 23:23 |
| FastZ | brotkasten, yes | 23:23 |
| FastZ | brbguys | 23:23 |
| Strider22 | Fastz: you could use a switch to make the crossover. If you can configure the router as a switch it will act like a crossover cable for testing. | 23:23 |
| ActionParsnip | FastZ: no need for apology dude, just want to get you on your feet :) | 23:24 |
| donnybrasco | can anyone help with routing my audio to bluetooth headset? | 23:24 |

| nikolam | spacebison, lol :) | 23:38 |
| proq | RProgrammer: a laptop is a box | 23:39 |
| nikolam | brotkasten, no siriously, how to watch it real time over usb? :) | 23:39 |
| brotkasten | RProgrammer: so turn it upside down ... and look at the bottom ... something like S/N ? | 23:39 |
| FastZ | ActionParsnip, brotkasten, Strider22, ok guys, my mistake completely. the x-over cable i just made works great. I guess i was just under the impression that since the one box was configured as a router/firewall, that it would act just as though it was a router/firwewall that was built to be such instead of one that's built from an old PC (486Mhz Intel Celeron !!!! Lightning fast!) | 23:39 |
| RProgrammer | It's not on the bottom | 23:40 |
| FlashGordon2000 | /rb | 23:40 |
| b3rz3rk3r | nikolam, just watch data transfer speed? | 23:40 |
| ActionParsnip | FastZ: it ssentially a PC connecing to a PC so the TX needs to hit the RX | 23:40 |
| RProgrammer | But I just realized it's inside the battery compartment | 23:40 |
| RProgrammer | Nevermind; thanks, though | 23:40 |

| Cube | ok, i beg you guys, SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME: firefox keeps opening the same tabs over and over again. i had it installed over the ubuntuzilla script (and it worked perfectly for like 3 weeks), so i removed 3.5.2 with that, then removed the 3.0.13 (rep version) with sudo apt-get. reinstalled. STILL OPENING THE SAME TABS. firefox keeps thinking its starting for the first time every time it starts. so it opens all the new pages in tabs that the PLUGINS | 23:41 |
| proq | I have a backup of sda1 on an equally-sized partition sda2. when I change /etc/fstab to use sda2 as /, it works fine. but when I change it back to /etc/fstab my machine becomes unbootable. is this something MBR-related? | 23:41 |
| bankix | nikolam: No, it tells you if the scanner is connected via USB 2.0 (480) or 1.1 (12) | 23:41 |
| FastZ | ActionParsnip, im just suprised this old rock still runs. I bought this one about 12 years ago | 23:41 |
| brotkasten | :) about:config you mean | 23:41 |
| b3rz3rk3r | nikolam, bankix suggestion is far more accurate.. suggest using that rather.. nice one bankix | 23:41 |
| bankix | nikolam: It's no speed meter. | 23:41 |
| nikolam | bankix, that is usefull also, 10x. | 23:41 |
| proq | erm, when I change it back to sda1 I mean | 23:41 |
| spacebison | about:robots | 23:42 |
| ActionParsnip | FastZ: old stff lasts, new stff is made to be disposable | 23:42 |
| nikolam | but if one wants to measure it in rt, it would need to.. program and communicate with kernel, yes? | 23:42 |
| proq | I almost get the suspicion that changing root in /etc/fstab to sda2 doesn't really change it to sda2, but makes ubuntu get sda1 and sda2 mixed up | 23:42 |
| Zabadda | im trying to get a Dell latitude E6400 to connect to wifi but its not picking anything up could it be that the card (intel 5100AGN) is not in the repositories yet? | 23:42 |
| brotkasten | spacebison: haha ...didn't know that one :) | 23:43 |
| bankix | nikolam: Why for hell do you want to watch the "usb traffic" of your scanner? | 23:43 |
| bankix | nikolam: There's absolutely nothing you could do about. | 23:43 |
| ActionParsnip | proq: you'll need to instal grub probably | 23:43 |
| b3rz3rk3r | nikolam, yeah, that is a bit odd.. what are you doing? | 23:43 |
| proq | bankix: no need to ask why. it's perfectly valid to want to do that | 23:43 |
| nikolam | bankix, to see if scanner actually communicate at usb 1.0 speed even if 2.0 is advertized :) | 23:43 |
| bankix | nikolam: Then look into the file I mentioned. | 23:44 |
| FastZ | ActionParsnip, i totally believe that. I took this particular box apart the other day for the first time in years and i couldnt distinguish any single fin on the CPU heatsink....I figure they were fused to one another by the decade's worth of dust | 23:44 |
| convergence | Had Wireless working under arch linux, but can't get it under ubuntu. I'm using 8.04. I have a BCM wland card, and the driver IS loaded. I went to network manager and entered all of the correct info: wpa2 home,ssid,pass,etc; | 23:44 |
| bankix | nikolam: If speed says 480 (kbit/s), then it's using USB 2.0. If speed says only 12 (kbit/s), it's using USB 1.1. | 23:44 |
| FastZ | ActionParsnip, it seemed to run a little quieter before i cleaned it | 23:44 |
| nikolam | 10x bankix i woul just need to identify port. ok. | 23:44 |
| Dr_Willis | FastZ: seen that befor. :) Always amazing how much crud gets in there. | 23:44 |
| bankix | nikolam: There is no way in "switching" back and forth. | 23:44 |
| Dr_Willis | FastZ: could be the fans are a bit out of balance now. | 23:45 |
| b3rz3rk3r | cant wait for USB 3.0 !!! | 23:45 |
| convergence | and i still "network unreachable" when i ping router | 23:45 |
| bankix | nikolam: So if "speed" says 480, the scanner uses USB 2.0 all the time. Cause every speed switch would require a disconnect and reconnect. | 23:45 |
| joeyeye | how do I change permissions on automounted volumes like usb drives ? I want to permit access only to certain groups | 23:45 |
| nikolam | there is many "usb 2.o compatible scanners that actually works on 1.1 or so" But I understand what you mean , 10x again | 23:45 |
| Dr_Willis | joeyeye: what filesystem is the usb drive? | 23:45 |
| nikolam | bankix, 10x for clarification again :) | 23:46 |
| brotkasten | convergence: but you are connected to it? | 23:46 |
| joeyeye | Dr_Willis: NTFS | 23:46 |

| ActionParsnip | b3rz3rk3r: try firewire instad ;) | 23:46 |
| MindVirus | My CPU usage is constantly high from Xorg. | 23:46 |
| bankix | nikolam: There is a bus number and device number mentioned at the beginning of the line for your scanner device. | 23:46 |
| convergence | brotkasten: connected to the network? | 23:46 |
| b3rz3rk3r | ActionParsnip, ugh.. surely you jest sire? | 23:46 |
| nikolam | thats it, Bus 006 Device 004: | 23:46 |
| brotkasten | convergence: yes, via wireless i mean ... | 23:47 |
| bankix | nikolam: Just look into /sys/bus/usb/devices/*/ for the files busnum and devnum, and check it for matching bus number an device number. | 23:47 |
| Dr_Willis | joeyeye: im not sure the automonting has a guy for that exact of settings - there is the 'ntfs-config' tool that can tweak some settings. It might be possible to alter the hal/fdi files to tweak them some more. but thats over my head. i recall seeing forum threads on changing permissions of specific auto devices that way befor | 23:47 |
| MindVirus | Any suggestions? | 23:47 |
| ActionParsnip | b3rz3rk3r: its buffered so transmission is smoother, usb is bursty so there are lots of gaps in the data transmitted | 23:47 |
| brotkasten | convergence: because you mention you cannot ping the router... | 23:47 |
| convergence | this is a different computer, if that is what you mean. the one that i'm trying to setup wireless on is NOT connected | 23:47 |
| nikolam | yes I see thats it, | 23:47 |
| joeyeye | Dr_Willis: ok, will trawl through the forums | 23:47 |
| convergence | No internet in firefox, no connectivity whatsoever, | 23:47 |
| ^cheeky | iam looking @ my conk under system montitor i just started it .. and it shows "pipe wait " what does that mean | 23:48 |

| b3rz3rk3r | ActionParsnip, no i mean.. its a good interface.. dont get me wrong. However, nobody really uses it do they? Its fine for my gear, but if i take my firewire drive to my mates house, he'll be like.. whats this? | 23:48 |
| convergence | ActionParsnip: no. lol | 23:48 |
| Dr_Willis | xorg is using 1% here. :) | 23:48 |

| ActionParsnip | b3rz3rk3r: i use it for my backups | 23:49 |
| convergence | it has a '*' in front of it | 23:49 |
| convergence | don't know if that is the problem | 23:49 |
| convergence | and it says something about that network being disabled | 23:49 |
| b3rz3rk3r | ActionParsnip, whats the actual difference in throughput (IRL.. not official) | 23:49 |
| ActionParsnip | convergence: do you get an ip suitable to your routers network? | 23:50 |
| AgentBlair | does bestbuy support Ubuntu guys? like install a modem on a computer with ubuntu? | 23:51 |
| convergence | ActionParsnip: at first i manually configured my ip address as I have always done. then for some reason, the network manager would delete my pw and ssid, and even the wpa2 settings whenever i did this | 23:51 |
| ActionParsnip | b3rz3rk3r: http://www.usb-ware.com/firewire-vs-usb.htm | 23:51 |
| convergence | so i had to switch to dhcp | 23:51 |
| ActionParsnip | convergence: you cold try different app | 23:51 |
| convergence | and it does give me an appropriate ip | 23:51 |
| b3rz3rk3r | ActionParsnip, thx | 23:51 |
| Dr_Willis | AgentBlair: a dialup modem - will always be a gamble on linux. | 23:51 |
| convergence | ActionParsnip: i'm listening | 23:52 |
| acr0nym | Dr_Willis those still exist | 23:52 |
| AgentBlair | darn | 23:52 |
| AgentBlair | what about DSL? | 23:52 |
| Dr_Willis | AgentBlair: unless you track down a good old fashioned external serial modem | 23:52 |
| AgentBlair | any kind of modem | 23:52 |
| Dr_Willis | acr0nym: yes.. and they are a 'may or may not work thing' | 23:52 |
| ActionParsnip | b3rz3rk3r: basically for small transfers (1Gb of data) then USB is fine, For lage transfers, like my 300Gb transfer, then firewire is way superior | 23:52 |
| AgentBlair | well my question was if bestby supports it | 23:52 |
| brotkasten | convergence: how is it giving you an IP if you are not connected? | 23:52 |
| FastZ | Dr_Willis, yeah, i think that's what is making the most noise now is the CPU fan | 23:52 |
| AgentBlair | and sounds like they won't | 23:52 |
| Dr_Willis | AgentBlair: 'any' is the operative word.. theres a BIG varity of the, | 23:52 |
| AgentBlair | yeah | 23:52 |
| ActionParsnip | convergence: could try wifi-radar | 23:52 |
| mikejet | How do I uninstall firefox-3.0 so it doesn't keep updating and overwriting my firefox-3.5.2 ? | 23:53 |
| Dr_Willis | AgentBlair: i have some exteranal serial modems that always work.. because they are 'full/real/external' :) cost me like $130 years back | 23:53 |
| boomerang | Hey there I have an issue, I got no sound, anyone willing to help?? | 23:53 |
| convergence | oh, i guess i didn't think my answer thru, i guess it didn't assign me an ip address with dhcp | 23:53 |
| b3rz3rk3r | ActionParsnip, yeah i can see.. wow. Been thinking about getting an eSATA drive to do my backups on (rather than USB2) but maybe Firewire is an option now too | 23:53 |
| AgentBlair | well this is for an older relative who doesn't live near me | 23:53 |
