| falconic | hey guys. this is rather weird (am I hope I am not being just silly...) but using deluge/transmission/azerus for downloading torrent sort of kills my wireless router (after a time no data transfer happens and I need to restart the DSL router.. and strangely .. If I run utorrent with wine there is no issue at all !! Infact I am downloading Ubuntu server edition right now from torrent as I type !! | 00:05 |
| bucky | Guest76034: where did this 2.6.27-1 kernel come from and why wouldn't you be able to get the headers for it? | 00:06 |
| Guest76034 | falconic: might be number of connections | 00:06 |
| minimec | JFM: Ok. Your sources are set to jaunty. Can you remember, what python package gave you the error? You could then try to uninstall that one with its dependencies and then start the update-manager again... | 00:06 |
| Guest76034 | bucky: its an old kernel from ubuntu.. just installed it | 00:06 |
| JFM | falconic, take a look at the settings in both - maybe deluge etc are set to use many more connections | 00:06 |
| Guest76034 | bucky: E: Package linux-headers-2.6.27-11-generic has no installation candidate | 00:06 |
| JFM | minimec, it was python2.6-minimal | 00:07 |

| JFM | minimec, it's not installed, isn't showing on synaptic (weird...) | 00:09 |
| falconic | @Guest76034, @JFM just checked.... utorrent has 200 global connections and 50 connection limit per torrent... whereas Deluge has 200 global torrents and no limit on number of connections per torrent.. | 00:09 |

| Guest76034 | bucky: yah | 00:10 |
| cor | limiting connexions per torrent is only useful if you run multiple torrents simultaneously | 00:10 |

| nightrid3r | hmmm | 00:11 |
| JFM | minimec, update-manager needs gtk, and shutil is required by the python-minimal script | 00:11 |
| Guest76034 | unnamedplayer: sudo reboot or sudo poweroff | 00:11 |
| JFM | apparently | 00:11 |
| JFM | minimec, of course, I can't install either of those because of the dependency problems, even with -f | 00:12 |

| roffe_ | No one great at Nouveau? | 00:15 |
| Guest76034 | bucky: i cant install it.. because it needs itselfs as an dependancy.. this is stupid | 00:15 |
| falconic | @Nomad22 it works fine for me.. out of the box... | 00:15 |
| minimec | JFM: Ubuntu doesn't touch the last runnung kernel after an update. That one stays available. | 00:15 |
| Nomad22 | hmmm | 00:15 |
| bucky | Guest76034: what is this intrepid? | 00:15 |
| Nomad22 | I'll give it another go then, thanks | 00:15 |
| Guest76034 | bucky: yes 9.04 | 00:15 |
| JFM | minimec, well that's fine then, I can just use that, just replaced the string jaunty with intrepid in the reps | 00:15 |
| bucky | Guest76034: 904 is NOT intrepid? | 00:16 |
| th0r | Nomad22: falconic can you tell Nomad22 what module you use for the wifi? | 00:16 |
| bucky | Guest76034: 904 is Jaunty.. so no wonder you got problems | 00:16 |
| minimec | JFM: But if you restart, you might loose the graphical interface... | 00:16 |
| Guest76034 | bucky: that sounded hopeful | 00:16 |
| Nomad22 | what module? | 00:16 |
| bucky | Guest76034: stay with the jaunty kernels for jaunty | 00:16 |
| JFM | minimec, well if I do, I'll come back with my laptop :) | 00:16 |
| th0r | Nomad22: the module that drives the wifi | 00:16 |
| miked5951 | anyone know how to get bluetoth headphones working in ubuntu? | 00:17 |
| JFM | I thought this would be easy, I can't imagine why this problem developed | 00:17 |
| falconic | This is a cut and paste from lspci "Intel Corporation Wireless WiFi Link 5100" and didnt have to enable a kernel module | 00:17 |
| JFM | I recently did 8.04 to 8.10 with no problems at all | 00:17 |
| falconic | it works out of the box as i said | 00:17 |
| Guest76034 | bucky: this is the cause of my suffering http://pastebin.com/m4162e74e | 00:17 |
| nightrid3r | miked5951: depends on your bluetooth adapter supporting voice | 00:17 |
| th0r | falconic: just thought if you knew what module that wifi uses Nomad22 could just do a modprobe and load it, see if that makes his wifi work | 00:18 |
| miked5951 | it's a usb one nightrid3r | 00:18 |

| bucky | Guest76034: try this one from jaunty http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/linux-headers-2.6.28-11-generic | 00:19 |
| nightrid3r | miked5951: there are diffrent bluetooth protocols, some support voice/audio, some don't, if yours does you just have to connect both devices and it should work then | 00:19 |
| JFM | minimec, perhaps let that go through, then return to jaunty and dist-upgrade again? | 00:19 |
| will-w | /msg nickserv register rumu190288 will.whyles@gmail.com | 00:19 |

| strrevf | how can i fix this problem ? | 00:20 |
| miked5951 | nightrid3r: it says a2dp connected but I don't see bluetooth as something to send sound to | 00:20 |
| minimec | JFM: It is hard for me to give you some advices, as I don't see your screen ;) | 00:20 |
| nightrid3r | miked5951: then its probably a matter of setting up your sound mixer to use the device | 00:21 |
| falconic | @Th0R "iwlagn" | 00:21 |
| JFM | minimec, install ubuntu-desktop as intrepid or jaunty? | 00:21 |
| JFM | minimec, oh nothing serious, just applets dying etc :) | 00:21 |

| Guest76034 | bucky: ok installing that now | 00:22 |
| Nomad22 | okay, I dont have ubuntu installed currently but I'll reinstal and hope for the best haha | 00:22 |

| VCoolio | nonix4: I can get a complete list of available updates without sudo but not the download size? | 00:30 |
| UnnamedPlayer | I apparently tried to use fglrx before I switched xserver versions | 00:30 |
| bucky | nbohaychuk: 12 year olds have video on youtube about how to ssh into ipod | 00:30 |
| undifined_ | i still treasure my old pentium 66 with 16 MB of ram | 00:30 |
| Guest76034 | VCoolio: yah because you dont want non admin people to upgrade the system | 00:30 |
| miked5951 | lol | 00:30 |
| revlo | hi by umm accident I just found that there is a md5sum list foreach pacakge I installed - is there a way to check my system against these md5sumlist (in /var/lib/dpkg/info ) ? | 00:30 |
| mark1 | so movies don't mount at the moment any clues why? | 00:30 |
| bucky | Guest76034: so it's looking for source... not headers? | 00:30 |
| Dr_Willis | mark1: normally i dont need to mount dvd disks to play the movies.. the player handles it... | 00:31 |
| Guest76034 | bucky: /build or /source but idk what it wants | 00:31 |
| Dr_Willis | mark1: you could always try just mounting the things manually i guess | 00:31 |
| UnnamedPlayer | Will Jaunty work off Hardy's xserver? | 00:31 |
| mark1 | yeah that doesnt work either | 00:31 |
| === Cpudan80_ is now known as Cpudan80 | ||
| Dr_Willis | mark1: exactly what/how are you mounting it manually? | 00:31 |
| mark1 | it doesn't see the disc in the writer | 00:31 |
| falconic | @Gues76034 @JFM.. it worked :) | 00:32 |
| mark1 | mount -t iso9660 /dev/sr0 /media/cdrom | 00:32 |
| JFM | minimec, failed "too many errors" | 00:32 |
| JFM | falconic, nice :) | 00:32 |
| mark1 | Dr_Willis: that is what I am trying | 00:32 |
| Dr_Willis | mark1: a dvd may be 'udf' | 00:32 |
| th0r | bucky: if he is getting that error it is because he is running the 17 kernel (I think) | 00:32 |
| th0r | bucky: but an odd numbered kernel is dev....shouldn't be run by someone who isn't a guru | 00:32 |
| Guest76034 | th0r: i am running the .11 kernel | 00:32 |
| Loafers | Dr_Willis, Hi, I tried the LBA method and it did not work as well. I think the computer is the problem since it won't even detect bootable cdrom as well, which is weird because i triple checked the boot order and it still fails to detect. Maybe the bios is really old? Its Award BIOS. | 00:33 |
| Guest76034 | th0r: im running an OLD kernel.. which has had it headers removed i recon because of newer kernels | 00:33 |
| th0r | Guest23716: yes...27-11 kernel, and I wonder how you got it...not from the repos | 00:33 |
| Guest76034 | th0r: it came w. ubuntu | 00:34 |
| UnnamedPlayer | Will Jaunty work off Hardy's xserver? | 00:34 |
| Dr_Willis | Loafers: at lesat you narrowed down the issue.. could try some diffrent usb ports on the machine.. but that may not help. | 00:34 |
| Guest76034 | th0r: urm.. i dont know how old this install is.. | 00:34 |
| Loafers | Dr_Willis, Yes I tried that as well :/ still same problem | 00:34 |
| minimec | JFM: I am sorry for you. Hope you hve /home on a separate partition. So you can reinstall a clean ubuntu without touching personal data. | 00:34 |
| Loafers | Dr_Willis, There was this primary master slave thingy maybe that's it? | 00:35 |
| UnnamedPlayer | Got a question: Will Jaunty work off an older xserver? | 00:35 |
| Dr_Willis | Loafers: that wouldent affect usb drives. | 00:35 |
| th0r | Guest76034: if I understand the kernel dev correctly, the .27 kernels became .28 when they were ready for prime time, then the devs started on .29, which will become .30 when released | 00:35 |
| Dr_Willis | Loafers: try disabling all the other drives in teh bios perhaps? | 00:35 |
| Loafers | Dr_Willis, okay i'll give that a try | 00:35 |
| JFM | minimec, I do, but no blank CDs to burn a CD | 00:35 |
| Dr_Willis | Loafers: not that will do miuch good.. but it might at lesat be a test. | 00:35 |
| Loafers | Dr_Willis, Ok thanks :) | 00:35 |
| Guest76034 | th0r: well the .28 kernels give me trouble.. probally video driver issues | 00:35 |
| mark1 | you think it would be safe to run firmware upgrade software from wine or a windows vm | 00:36 |
| Dr_Willis | mark1: totally NOT... | 00:36 |
| mangospork | Hey, I was trying to install the program monkeystudio. (http://www.monkeystudio.org) And I get an output like this: | 00:36 |
| mangospork | http://dpaste.com/77117/ | 00:36 |
| Guest76034 | Dr_Willis: lol | 00:36 |
| UnnamedPlayer | anyone? | 00:36 |
| th0r | Guest76034: yeah, but I don't know where you would get headers for the .27 kernels | 00:36 |
| mangospork | What's the dealio with that? | 00:36 |
| mark1 | Dr_Willis: lol I feel like that may be the issue | 00:36 |
| Guest76034 | th0r: ok so my best bet is, atm, to get the .28 kernels to work for me | 00:36 |
| Guest76034 | th0r: correct? | 00:37 |
| Dr_Willis | mark1: try some other live cd's see if tehy can access teh devices. check dmesg for errors when accessign the thing.. | 00:37 |
| mark1 | Dr_Willis: live cd works | 00:38 |
| mark1 | its dvd movies that don't mount | 00:38 |
| nbohaychuk | why are so may ppl joining at once? | 00:38 |
| nbohaychuk | lol | 00:38 |
| Dr_Willis | mark1: i ONCE had a odd issue where the /dev/cdrom or /dev/cdXX device was pointing to the wrong actual device. | 00:38 |
| th0r | Guest76034: and without the headers you won't get anything to compile...and that is the error you are getting in that pastebin | 00:39 |
| Guest76034 | th0r: indeed | 00:39 |
| alan_ | fuckers | 00:39 |
| Dr_Willis | mark1: dvd movie disks are normal data disks. only way i know of to tell the differance is by the actual files on teh disk.. Or perhaps the iso9660 vs udf filesystem | 00:39 |
| Timitheos | Ok, when I use the windows installer I get an error "Please insert a disk into drive \Device\Harddisk3\DR3" | 00:39 |
| mangospork | Hey, I was trying to install the program monkeystudio. (http://www.monkeystudio.org) And I get an output like this: | 00:39 |
| alazyworkaholic | I have 2 1GB sticks of RAM. If I use the 2GB stick version of that RAM (same name, timing, speed etc) should I be able to add 2 2GB sticks for a total of 6 GB, or do Bad Things happen when you mix 1 & 2 GB sticks? | 00:39 |
| mangospork | http://dpaste.com/77117/ | 00:39 |
| mangospork | What's the dealio with that? | 00:39 |
| FloodBot2 | mangospork: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 00:39 |
| Guest76034 | !language Alan_ | 00:39 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about language Alan_ | 00:39 |
| th0r | Guest76034: yes, you should try to get a .28 kernel running...those headers are available in the repos | 00:39 |
| rone | I'm having problems with audio, I'm not getting any sound in a fresh install of ubuntu 9.0, though it should be noted that i uninstalled pulseaudio, but alsaconf is not found? | 00:39 |
| mark1 | Dr_Willis: would that cause movies not to mount? I only have on dvd drive and it works with other dvds | 00:39 |
| Guest76034 | th0r: i HATE video driver issues | 00:39 |
| Dr_Willis | mangospork: you could at elast summarize the problem a little to the channel. instead of expecting everyone to go to a url to see what the problem might be | 00:40 |
| mangospork | eh. | 00:40 |
| Guest76034 | th0r: and iam 100% its a vid problem | 00:40 |
| Timitheos | anyone know what that means? | 00:40 |
| Carsten- | Hello people! | 00:40 |
| Dr_Willis | mark1: these are comercial video dvd's ? or copies/homemade? | 00:40 |
| Guest76034 | alazyworkaholic: no u can mix all u want | 00:40 |
| rone | can anyone help me get my sound working? | 00:40 |
| nbohaychuk | does anyone know if itunes will run in wine? | 00:40 |
| Dr_Willis | !itunes | nbohaychuk | 00:40 |
| ubottu | nbohaychuk: itunes is not available on Linux, but there are many audio player alternatives (see !players). For Daap clients (sharing music with other iTunes clients on the network), install banshee | 00:40 |
| mark1 | Dr_Willis: commercial | 00:41 |
| Carsten- | Whats the command to see what irq's are in use? | 00:41 |
| Guest76034 | rone: u unistalled pulseaudio and now you have no sound.. go fish what the problem is | 00:41 |
| Dr_Willis | mark1: well i poped in a video disk here (comercial and gnome poped up a dialog) .. lets see... | 00:41 |
| nbohaychuk | that is weird... | 00:41 |
| Dr_Willis | mark1: its not shown under 'Places -> removeable media' Either? | 00:41 |
| gartral | real quick guys, how do i force a umount if a device is busy? | 00:41 |
| alazyworkaholic | Guest76034: ok, thanks | 00:41 |
| rone | Guest76034, LOL you assume to much... it didn't work with pulseaudio either - i should be able to configure the card with alsaconfig - but guess what ubuntu borked that | 00:42 |
| miked5951 | nbohaychuk: I managed to get itunes running in wine.. sucks at playing music and doesn't sync my iphone so it's worthless | 00:42 |
| Guest76034 | rone: then install alsaconfig? | 00:42 |
| rone | Guest76034, try running sudo alsaconfig | 00:42 |
| Timitheos | what does the error "Please insert a disk into drive \Device\Harddisk3\DR3" mean? | 00:42 |
| Wildcard77 | nbohaychuk: why not get songbird? | 00:42 |
| gartral | please guys, im on the crunch here | 00:42 |
| mark1 | Dr_Willis: so you think its a firmware issue | 00:42 |
| rone | Guest76034, dude its not the package... you must be a noob | 00:42 |
| Guest76034 | rone: you mean alsamixer? | 00:43 |
| Dr_Willis | mark1: not really. if it works in one disrto but not others... it works.. | 00:43 |
| rone | lol | 00:43 |
| gartral | i need too destructivly unmount a drive.... how do i do this | 00:43 |
| bazhang | rone, dont use that language here | 00:43 |
| Guest76034 | gartral: hammer.. | 00:43 |
| mark1 | Dr_Willis: well I don't know if it works with other distros and I feel like I had this problem before | 00:43 |
| Dr_Willis | mark1: check 'dmesg' command when ya insert the disk. (a few moments after inserting it) | 00:43 |
| rone | bazhang, that is cool, but at least have people that are knowledgeable about the packages first before they give advice | 00:43 |
| miked5951 | gartral: water | 00:44 |
| Timitheos | can anyone help? | 00:44 |
| * undifined_ hands gartral some scissors | 00:44 | |
| Dr_Willis | mark1: i get a line (several) like --> 8023.899573] UDF-fs INFO UDF: Mounting volume '2001_A_SPACE_ODYSSEY', timestamp 1999/11/02 18:56 (1f10) | 00:44 |
| Dr_Willis | mark1: in dmesg output after inserting the disk | 00:44 |
| miked5951 | Timitheos: nyone can help, depends on what | 00:44 |
| gartral | you guys are assholes... how do i destructivle umount this damn drive | 00:44 |
| Timitheos | Ok, when I use the windows installer I get an error "Please insert a disk into drive \Device\Harddisk3\DR3" | 00:44 |
| Guest76034 | gartral: what u mean? use umount? | 00:45 |
| justin__ | whats the word all | 00:45 |
| bazhang | gartral, no need for that | 00:45 |
| miked5951 | gartral: why would you want to destructivly unmount a drive? | 00:45 |
| undifined_ | gartral: stop the processes accessing the disk | 00:45 |
| gartral | Guest76034: says the drive is busy | 00:45 |
| Guest76034 | gartral: sudo and add a -f | 00:45 |
| Dr_Willis | hard disk? cdrom? | 00:45 |
| mark1 | Dr_Willis: no msg for the movie I only got one for the data disk I put in several minutes ago | 00:45 |
| gartral | undifined_: no proccess is using it,, lsof is blank when greppiong the drives ode | 00:45 |
| Dr_Willis | mark1: that is.. weird... | 00:45 |
| gartral | Guest76034: tryed that alereadyt | 00:45 |
| Dr_Willis | mark1: you have just the 1 optical drive? | 00:46 |
| nbohaychuk | when I install the new firefox from the package manager, do i have to uninstall the old version? | 00:46 |
| UnnamedPlayer | How do I revert to an older xserver? | 00:46 |
| Dr_Willis | nbohaychuk: No. | 00:46 |
| Guest76034 | gartral: then just pull it out anyway.. | 00:46 |
| zacktu | What do I select in synaptic in order to install wxpython? | 00:46 |
| rone | anyone here know how to configure sound card with alsa-utils (aka alsaconfig), or at least know how to get it to run? | 00:46 |
| Dr_Willis | nbohaychuk: they both stay installed. | 00:46 |
| bazhang | nbohaychuk, no, they need to exist side by side | 00:46 |
| Wildcard77 | nbohaychuk, you don't it runs along side of it | 00:46 |
| nbohaychuk | kk | 00:46 |
| nbohaychuk | thanks | 00:46 |
| miked5951 | gartral: what kind of drive? | 00:46 |
| mark1 | Dr_Willis: I agree yes I only have 1 optical drive samsung model: SH-S182M | 00:46 |
| gartral | Guest76034: i cant... its a desktop drive in a housing, miked5951 | 00:46 |
| Guest76034 | miked5951: he is talking about a MAC drive | 00:47 |
| miked5951 | gartral: is this the drive the root partition is mounted on? | 00:47 |
| gartral | miked5951: no.. its just storage | 00:47 |
| miked5951 | gartral: whats the error you get? | 00:47 |
| gartral | miked5951: but ide rather not crash the heads as its USB powered | 00:47 |
| gartral | miked5951: device is busy | 00:47 |
| Guest76034 | gartral: a USB powered internal device? | 00:47 |
| Guest76034 | just pull it out | 00:47 |
| gartral | miked5951: im also on the wall for time | 00:47 |
| Dr_Willis | reboot.... | 00:47 |
| Dr_Willis | that will force it to unmount. :) | 00:48 |
| Guest76034 | true | 00:48 |
| Dr_Willis | or sync a few times.. then jerk it out | 00:48 |
| Guest76034 | just jerk it out anyway | 00:48 |
| gartral | Dr_Willis: rebooting an active server not a good idea | 00:48 |
| undifined_ | I don't know if it is still ok, but I disconnected IDE drives in the past while running, containing the root volume | 00:48 |
| Dr_Willis | or log out/back in.. that should stop any processes accting it. | 00:48 |
| Dr_Willis | gartral: not my problem... you asked for ways to do it. | 00:48 |
| Guest76034 | Dr_Willis: not if he used sudo cmds | 00:48 |
| miked5951 | gartral: try fuser -m /dev/sdx | 00:48 |
| Guest76034 | gartral: why are u administrating an active server if you cant get a drive out? | 00:49 |
| Guest76034 | O.o | 00:49 |
| Timitheos | what about my issue? does anyone recognize it? | 00:49 |
| Dr_Willis | could be some leet-haxor has haxxored the box and is accessing it. :) | 00:49 |
| sisif_ | ²±1²±²³/deatch | 00:49 |
| node | hey everyone i gotta quick question, im running the latest distro of xubuntu and im having a problem. my main menu/panel both top and bottom have dissapeared and i dont know the solution | 00:49 |
| Guest76034 | Dr_Willis: yes.. it could be a rootkid | 00:49 |
| gartral | Guest76034: its a flewk, Dr_Willis no, no one has my keys | 00:49 |
| Dr_Willis | sync a few times.. then pull it out.. or try some of the commands suggested I guess... | 00:50 |
| miked5951 | Timitheos: still waiting to kno what your issue is | 00:50 |
| Timitheos | Ok, when I use the windows installer I get an error "Please insert a disk into drive \Device\Harddisk3\DR3" | 00:50 |
| sisif_ | Hello. Quick question: is it possible to intruct the sound card to output the sound on the mic connector indestead of the default one ? | 00:50 |
| Timitheos | i've posted it 3 times. | 00:50 |
| miked5951 | gartral: the fuser command will show you the pids accessing the partition | 00:50 |
| Guest76034 | gartral: try echo Force_Drive out ple- se | 00:51 |
| Dr_Willis | Timitheos: the windows installer is 'wubi' and i really suggest you dont use a wubi install method. If you want to test out ubuntu. try it in virtualbox. or do a 'normal' install. | 00:51 |
| gartral | miked5951: i SAID fuser is showing BLANK.. NADA.. | 00:51 |
| Timitheos | I try to do a normal install and it won't work | 00:51 |
| gartral | Guest76034: what's that command do? | 00:51 |
| Timitheos | i get an I/O Disk error | 00:51 |
| Guest76034 | gartral: attempts to force the drive out | 00:51 |
| Dr_Willis | Timitheos: that sounds like a bad iso download, or burn. | 00:51 |
| Timitheos | i've tried burning it slower | 00:51 |
| Guest76034 | Timitheos: burn the disc again @ slow speed | 00:52 |
| bazhang | Timitheos, md5 the iso | 00:52 |
| node | Dr_Willis, so how do i sync | 00:52 |
| Dr_Willis | Timitheos: i tend to use 'unetbootin' to get/install the iso's to a flash drive to install to. | 00:52 |
| miked5951 | Timitheos: what about a usb install? | 00:52 |
| rone | Guest76034, you know what figured it out on my own - just to let you know, to make up for what i said, have a person look at the alsamixer and unmute pcm - i should have known this - there now you and i have learned something | 00:52 |
| Dr_Willis | node: 'sync' command you mean? | 00:52 |
| rone | have a good day all, and remember UBUNTU ROCKS! | 00:52 |
| Guest76034 | rone: er.. i knew that already.. | 00:52 |
| GPL | how to install a package that is downloaded on desktop ??? | 00:52 |
| node | yeah would that help me get my man panels on the desktop | 00:53 |
| Timitheos | I even downloaded the 64 bit version and got the same error. | 00:53 |
| bazhang | GPL, what package | 00:53 |
| Guest76034 | GPL: double click it? | 00:53 |
| Dr_Willis | GPL: totally depends on the exact package/name/kind/ | 00:53 |
| Guest76034 | gartral: did u try my command/did it work? | 00:53 |
| gartral | Dr_Willis: sudo umount -f /media/GIGADISK8/ | 00:53 |
| gartral | umount2: Device or resource busy | 00:53 |
| spO | is some special action needed if i installed a 2.6.30 kernel on a 2.6.28 system ? | 00:53 |
| gartral | Guest76034: no.. just returns with nothing | 00:53 |
| Timitheos | to be honest, i'm not sure how to md5 it. | 00:53 |
| Dr_Willis | gartral: try the device name perhaps. | 00:53 |
| bazhang | !md5 | 00:53 |
| ubottu | To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 00:53 |

| UnnamedPlayer | Can I add Hardy Heron's repositories to Jaunty's sources list? | 00:53 |
| Guest76034 | gartral: try it a few times and post your terminal output | 00:54 |
| gartral | Dr_Willis: isnt saying there is one | 00:54 |
| UnnamedPlayer | IF so, how? | 00:54 |
| runa_ | how can i make give permissions to a local user to mount drives using udev | 00:54 |
| GPL | bazhang: Guest76034: Dr_Willis: i am again trying to setup Photoshop CS4 with wine, so obviously the package is wine 1.0.1 the stable version | 00:54 |
| bazhang | UnnamedPlayer, no | 00:54 |
| gartral | Guest76034: *nothing* happens..fuck it, im out | 00:54 |
| miked5951 | try a umount -l gartral | 00:54 |
| tritium | gartral: language, please | 00:54 |
| UnnamedPlayer | bazhang: so How would I revert to an older version of xserver? | 00:54 |
| Guest76034 | gartral: sec man | 00:54 |
| bazhang | gartral, watch the language | 00:54 |
| Dr_Willis | GPL: for wine - you may want the wine packages from the winehq repositories.. the one in Ubuntu is a little outdated | 00:54 |
| Guest76034 | gartral: copy the terminal stuff to pastebin.org | 00:54 |
| runa_ | is there a group to which i can add the user? | 00:54 |
| bazhang | UnnamedPlayer, why do you need that | 00:54 |
| gartral | i cant, no time.. gotta go | 00:54 |
| Dr_Willis | GPL: also check the wine app database to see what versions of wine work with that rather picky program | 00:55 |
| node | hey everyone i gotta quick question, im running the latest distro of xubuntu and im having a problem. my main menu/panel both top and bottom have dissapeared and i dont know the solution | 00:55 |
| GPL | Dr_Willis: i downloaded the 1.0.1 stable one and it is on desktop | 00:55 |
| Guest76034 | GPL: no offense but have you tried GIMP or GIMPSHOP ? just a suggestion | 00:55 |
| Dr_Willis | !appdb | GPL | 00:55 |
| ubottu | GPL: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help | 00:55 |
| UnnamedPlayer | bazhang: Catalyst 9.3 doesn't work with current xserver 1.6 | 00:55 |
| bazhang | GPL, its in the repos | 00:55 |
| Dr_Willis | GPL: double click on a .deb to install it.. normally... | 00:55 |
| GPL | Dr_Willis: actually the stable version isnt there. | 00:55 |
| miked5951 | GPL for appl like photoshop and itunes I run them in vmware | 00:55 |
| Dr_Willis | GPL: so. the stable version may or may not run that program. | 00:55 |
| GPL | i downloaded from soundforge. | 00:55 |
| GPL | Dr_Willis: as the appdb , says i 've to install Photoshop CS4 with an older version | 00:56 |
| node | does anyone in here know hot to recover the menus on the desktop of xubuntu if they had dissapeared on boot | 00:56 |
| Dr_Willis | GPL: check the wine app database for that program. ive heard of LOTS of issues with it. and no i dont use CS. | 00:56 |
| UnnamedPlayer | Stupid ATI | 00:56 |
| bazhang | GPL, please install from ubuntu repositories if possible | 00:56 |
| McPeter | GPL, Version : 1.1.27~winehq0~ubuntu~9.04-0ubuntu1 (it's work with CS4 ) | 00:56 |

| mdg | how do I determine what the path to my dvd drive is? | 01:36 |
| crawl3r | Hi guys. which one is better in decoding MP3 files between LAME and FFMPEG? | 01:36 |
| Dr_Willis | Decoding? I imagine they are the same. | 01:36 |
| mdg | anyone here use DVDbackup? | 01:36 |
| Dr_Willis | its the encoding thats the hard part. | 01:36 |
| nil0_ | But as it is now, I have GUI on CTRL+ALT+F7 as usual and it also boots on in, but I would rather like it to boot in CTRL+ALT+F2 :P I don't wanna disable GNOME | 01:36 |
| Timitheos | I was going to try and expand the ISO and put it on a thumb drive and boot from there. | 01:36 |
| nil0_ | it* | 01:37 |
| Dr_Willis | Timitheos: you DONT make a bootable thumbdrive that way.. use the 'unetbootin' tool to make a bootable flash drive | 01:37 |
| MrWizard | Dr_Willis, the popup can actually be disabled with gconf too :) | 01:37 |
| Dr_Willis | MrWizard: thats what ubuntu tweak does.. its a nicer front end then that. | 01:37 |
| mark1 | crawl3er: I could be wrong but I though lame was only for encoding | 01:37 |
| mdg | Timitheos: I just used the linux version of unetbootin to make a bootable mint flash drive :) | 01:37 |
| mac9416 | nil0_, well, the method in the link would disable Gnome on startup, but you could always start it by typing "gdm" at the command line. | 01:37 |
| crawl3r | Dr_Willis: The reason I as is that I found out oggdec and faad failed at some instances while FFMPEG succeeded to decode files (OGG and AAC) | 01:37 |
| mac9416 | nil0_, and it also says how to reenable it. | 01:38 |
| mdg | anyone here use DVDbackup? | 01:38 |
| mark1 | crawl3r: http://lame.sourceforge.net/ | 01:38 |
| [daemon] | nil0_: or simply type startx | 01:38 |
| bastidrazor | mdg, the path to you dvd drive is probably /media/cdrom or /media/cdrom0 | 01:38 |
| Dr_Willis | one has to start gdm as root.. 'sudo service gdm start' normally | 01:39 |
| kelli | is there any way to re-treave infodeleated from bin i wont? | 01:39 |
| [daemon] | Dr_Willis: nope | 01:39 |
| crawl3r | mark1: lame can decode as well | 01:39 |
| [daemon] | Dr_Willis: that gives you the login manager - a sudo startx starts the DE | 01:40 |
| Dr_Willis | [daemon]: gdm is a service.. should be started by root.. startx by the user... | 01:40 |
| Dr_Willis | sudo service gdm stop (will temparly stop gdm also) | 01:40 |
| kelli | any why do got files back deleted from bin? | 01:40 |
| mdg | bastidrazor: It accepted media/cdrom0, but now I get the error "You must provide a title name when you read your DVD-Video Structure direct from the HD" | 01:41 |
| Dr_Willis | you dont want to do 'sudo startx' that would login root to the Desktop.. Not a good idea. | 01:41 |
| [daemon] | Dr_Willis: right - my fault - simple startx should do it | 01:41 |
| bastidrazor | mdg, i have no clue what you're trying to do. i don't use DVDbackup. | 01:41 |
| kelli | any why do got files back deleted from bin? | 01:41 |
| mdg | bastidrazor: okay. Thanks for the help with the drive part :) | 01:41 |
| bastidrazor | mdg, good luck | 01:42 |
| kelli | any why do got files back deleted from bin? | 01:43 |
| Dr_Willis | kelli: huh? You mean 'any way' ? | 01:43 |
| Dr_Willis | !undelete | kelli | 01:43 |
| ubottu | kelli: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel | 01:43 |

| Guiri | When try to start ./sc_serv to start shoutcast I get bash: ./sc_serv: No such file or directory but it's right there and chmodded | 01:50 |
| Guiri | Any ideas? | 01:50 |
| damo23 | do i just change my sources.list and do sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get distupgrade && sudo apt-get upgrade? | 01:50 |
| lstarnes | damo23: no, the actual procedure is different | 01:50 |
| minimec | damo23: If you are happy with hardy, then stay with it. A direct upgrade from hardy to jaunty is not possible! | 01:50 |
| damo23 | :( | 01:50 |
| lstarnes | damo23: you need to upgrade to intrepid then to jaunty | 01:51 |
| [daemon] | damo23: a quick google should help | 01:51 |
| lstarnes | damo23: or you can make a fresh install of jaunty | 01:51 |
| damo23 | erm, maybe i'll just do a clean install | 01:51 |
| minimec | damo23: If you want to be up to date, wait until october an do a clean karmic koala 9.10 install. | 01:51 |
| lstarnes | damo23: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes has the instructions for updating | 01:51 |

| centinul | I'm using Ubuntu 9.04, and I'm having trouble getting the screen resolution correct when connected via HDMI to my Samsung 32" 720p TV. In nvidia-settings it doesn't list the resolution I need (1360x768). I've tried various settings like turning off DDC probing and EDID in my xorg.conf file and nothing works. I have also tried using mode lines as well. When I try and use xrandr to change the mode I get an error: xrandr configure crtc | 02:15 |
| Sneaky-Jesus | centinul: A mate of mine has an identical problem - i think it's a funny setting with the computer | 02:15 |
| al_x | can someone help me figure out why my ALC888 sound card just makes helicopter static noises when i use the SPDIF | 02:16 |

| phajas | I have a Gigabyte T1028 with an Atheros ar928x. It originally recognized the interface, but did not work properly (was unable to show available networks or even connect with a manually entered SSID). Then, I followed some instructions that involved downloading a driver, unpacking it, running a shell script and then running "sudo dpkg --install compat*deb" (I found this on the forum.) Unfortunately, now the interface doesn't come up at all. | 02:16 |

| fosa | when i'm cloning a hard drive, how important it is that my partitions be the exact same size on the new drive? is it ok if they are a little bigger? | 02:17 |
| jairodealmeida | or with unstable # aptitude install postgresql-8.3-postgis or with Ubuntu # sudo apt-get install postgresql-8.3-postgis | 02:17 |
| centinul | Sneaky-Jesus: It wouldn't surprise me if it's a bug in the HDMI portion of their firmware because when I connect it via VGA it picks up 1360x768 great but with HDMI it's a no go. | 02:18 |
| damo23 | fosa: depends how you do the transfer | 02:18 |
| jairodealmeida | exist apt-get to install postgresql8.4-postgis | 02:18 |

| Sneaky-Jesus | centinul: That's a good point, we didn't think of that :P | 02:18 |
| fosa | damo23, [daemon] is this a good guide to use?: http://www.arsgeek.com/2008/01/22/how-to-clone-your-bootable-ubuntu-install-to-another-drive/ | 02:19 |
| MyNameIsLuca | sheit: What are your requirements ? | 02:19 |
| damo23 | fosa: for example you can clone the entire hard drive with dd, then dump the data to the new drive even if its a little bigger, then resize the partition to take the full space | 02:19 |
| ToStItOs_ | I have a dial up modem and I want to install security updates but I have had some conflicts before so now I am afraid to. Will the security updates conflict with my modem driver like Cups and any Networking updates? | 02:19 |

| mib_mib | Question - say i have a cron job that runs a script that takes 10 minutes to run - what happens if i have this cron set to run every 5 minutes? Does it try to execute this script again, or does it wait until the first one has finished before running it again? | 02:30 |
| samui | anyways, i need to reask my question | 02:30 |
| Dr_Willis | felix_: the tune2fs command can set the # of mounts to wait btween checks. | 02:30 |

| kelli | but i would rather that then use windows(yak) | 02:40 |
| Sneaky-Jesus | kelli: Ever thought of something like Wubi? | 02:40 |
| ToStItOs_ | MyNameIsLuca: I plan on satellite when I have enough money | 02:40 |
| kelli | how big is that? | 02:40 |
| MyNameIsLuca | ToStItOs_: Those can have pretty fancy speeds at that. | 02:41 |
| ToStItOs_ | Cast: so should I gamble or uncheck some updates? | 02:42 |
| cast | can you put the packages that'll break your module on hold | 02:42 |
| ToStItOs_ | cast: probably I'll see in a minute | 02:43 |
| ToStItOs_ | cast: probably just do like firefox and openoffice updates and go from there | 02:43 |

| unixbocx | well folks i'm starting not to have any faith in ubuntu, trying to setup a webserver is proveing to much do and i'm still no better off then when i started | 03:11 |
| Sneaky-Jesus | Apache, right? | 03:12 |
| dotblank | hey ubuntu expexts!!! my bro is into audio production and could use your wise guidance. He has a turntable connected to a laptop over usb. However he wants to be able to listen to the usb recording device over his normal speakers. Is there a program that does this? | 03:12 |
| unixbocx | plus all the howto guides online that say the same thing just doesn't work | 03:12 |
| cor | unixbocx, the thought of losing you scares the hell out of everyone. how can we make it right? | 03:12 |
| sentix | unixbocx: How so? | 03:12 |
| th0r | unixbocx: using apache? | 03:12 |
| cast | its pretty trivial to setup a webserver | 03:13 |
| AndrewGearhart | evening folks. I'm having problems opening .mp4 files from YouTube. :( | 03:13 |
| cor | web server? are you serious? install apache. the end. | 03:13 |
| sentix | unixbocx: Both lighttpd and apache were a dream to setup | 03:13 |
| unixbocx | i've been at it for over a week now and i still can't get mt dyndns website to come up | 03:13 |
| cor | lol | 03:13 |
| unixbocx | my | 03:13 |
| cast | and those are the hard ones to setup, thttpd, now that's easy :) | 03:13 |
| sentix | unixbocx: That's somewhat different then getting apache happy | 03:13 |
| cor | that's definitely ubuntu's fault. i'd sue | 03:13 |
| AndrewGearhart | when I open it with movie player or gxine... movie player just "goes away" ... and gxine just loads and does nothing. :( | 03:14 |
| unixbocx | being behind a router doesn't help either | 03:14 |
| akore | how do I change grub boot order? | 03:14 |
| unixbocx | but all the guides say it's just so easy | 03:14 |
| Hatake | yeah, i agree, it definately ubuntu's fault | 03:14 |
| cor | at the risk of being flamed.. Think like a packet of data | 03:14 |
| cast | thttpd -d /var/www # done! | 03:14 |
| cor | akore, you change the order | 03:14 |
| sentix | unixbocx: I've done that once or twice and it can be some many different issues... your ISP could be blocking the http port or your router, and vhost with dyndns was a little weird from memory | 03:14 |
| bazhang | cor, please be helpful | 03:14 |
| lstarnes | unixbocx: if you're running the site from a home computer, your ISP might be blocking it | 03:14 |
| akore | cor: how | 03:15 |
| cor | I am, continually! | 03:15 |
| AndrewGearhart | ah, manually opening through mplayer ... I get "Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device. any ideas? | 03:15 |
| lstarnes | unixbocx: does http://localhost work? | 03:15 |
| bazhang | cor, spare the unnecessary commentary please | 03:15 |
| cor | akore, take me literally | 03:15 |
| lstarnes | akore: try editing /boot/grub/menu.lst~ | 03:15 |
| cast | unixbocx: how about you get it working in windows, then come back :) and we can tell you to install apache and it'll work. | 03:15 |
| cor | goan ban me then | 03:15 |
| unixbocx | no port 80 is up, what happens is ddclient will update dyndns with my internal ip | 03:15 |
| lstarnes | akore: oops. /boot/grub/menu.lst | 03:15 |
| unixbocx | which is a static ip | 03:16 |
| cor | is it grub? | 03:16 |
| cast | so DNS is your problem, not getting the webserver running? | 03:16 |
| sentix | unixbocx: You tried accessing your sight with nmap and from direct IP address | 03:16 |
| unixbocx | one moment the site works then another it doesn't | 03:16 |
| sentix | ? | 03:16 |
| orngjce223 | Hi | 03:16 |
| cor | I mean, or grub2 | 03:16 |
| orngjce223 | I was trying to install ubuntu (9.04) to a flash drive | 03:16 |
| th0r | unixbocx: you need to set ddclient to use an external source like whatsmyip.com | 03:16 |
| unixbocx | i've tryed it all almost | 03:16 |
| orngjce223 | and managed to make windows xp unbootable | 03:17 |
| orngjce223 | thanks to grub *shifty eyes* | 03:17 |
| unixbocx | external source | 03:17 |
| unixbocx | ? | 03:17 |
| zvacet | AndrewGearhart: mplayer>preferences>video>X11/xv ,maybe other will work for you | 03:17 |
| subone | When playing a movie in full screen for my dual screen setup how can i make the other monitor suspend or go black? | 03:17 |
| beatbreaker | hi can anyone recomend a webcam that works no problems on linux, i'll be usig Skype | 03:17 |
| cor | unixbocx, a packet of data travels from one hop to another, from source to destination. do this in your mind. | 03:17 |
| th0r | unixbocx: ddclient will never be able to get your outside ip from ifconfig...it will have to ask another website to tell it what the ip is | 03:17 |
| Hatake | noone? | 03:17 |
| gizmobay | Anyone else having a problem with Jaunty doing hard lockups once a day? | 03:17 |
| Hatake | if i sudo chgrp XYZ then chmod 2750 another user's directory, and i'm a member of XYZ, why do I receive a permissions error when trying to cd to that directory? | 03:17 |
| bazhang | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras beatbreaker | 03:17 |
| th0r | unixbocx: and you are right...ubuntu is definitely at fault | 03:18 |
| th0r | jeez | 03:18 |
| MyNameIsLuca | unixbocx: whats the problem ? | 03:18 |
| orngjce223 | I was installing ubuntu to an external drive, and managed to make the internal drive require the external to be plugged in to boot without-an-ugly-21-grub-error. What gives? and can I fix this from inside ubuntu or livecd? | 03:18 |
| unixbocx | webmins ddclient mod has a option to ip acquire from eth0 or other sources | 03:19 |
| sentix | th0r: It is ubuntu's fault... it doesn't "Just work" like Microsoft Server does, minus the weekly reboots and security holes | 03:19 |
| Dr_Willis | orngjce223: its looking on the external for the /boot/grub files most likely. | 03:19 |
| MyNameIsLuca | unixbocx: ddclient OR dhclient ? | 03:19 |
| sentix | th0r: but hey, businesses aren't really concered with security from what I can tell | 03:19 |
| unixbocx | the problem is my server is behind a router and not on the real world side | 03:19 |
| AndrewGearhart | zvacet: thx... didn't work... but thank you for making suggestions. ;-) | 03:19 |
| th0r | sentix: funny, I never had any more trouble putting a linux server online than a windows server...but I am not inclined to spend a lot of time bailing out whiners | 03:20 |
| Dr_Willis | orngjce223: if linux is just on the external, and windows just on the internal.. then you dident need to put grub on the internal drive. Just the external.. then tell the pc to boot the usb disk. | 03:20 |
| orngjce223 | but it installed automatically o.O | 03:20 |
| unixbocx | but all the guides say it can be done | 03:20 |
| bazhang | let's move chat to #ubuntu-offtopic please | 03:20 |
| orngjce223 | Dr_Willis: I just want to have two independently bootable hdds | 03:20 |
| sentix | unixbocx: It can be, you just need to sit down and think about your problem some more | 03:20 |
| cor | grub1 users, why have you not upgraded yet? | 03:20 |
| MyNameIsLuca | Crazy windows tools. Theyll find their path eventually. | 03:20 |
| Dr_Willis | orngjce223: you got grub on the internal.. you proberly dident want that then. | 03:20 |
| orngjce223 | Yes | 03:21 |
| unixbocx | i've been thinking about it for over a week now with almost 12 hours a day at it | 03:21 |
| Proh | YO | 03:21 |
| Proh | urgently needed | 03:21 |
| orngjce223 | I don't want grub on the internal, just a normal bootable flash drive | 03:21 |
| Proh | UFC streams | 03:21 |
| Proh | help | 03:21 |
| FloodBot2 | Proh: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 03:21 |
| orngjce223 | Proh: all on one line, then it's easier to understand\ | 03:21 |
| unixbocx | i can get it all set up but then no one can get to my sites | 03:21 |
| bazhang | Proh, dont use enter key as punctuation please | 03:21 |
| beatbreaker | bazhang: thanks | 03:21 |
| Dr_Willis | orngjce223: boot up the linux box.. make install grub to the usb drive.. but you also may need to edit the grub menu.lst entries to change hd1,0 to hd0,0 for when it boots straight from usb. | 03:21 |
| unixbocx | andf i just can't figure out what i'm missing | 03:22 |
| orngjce223 | It's winXP on the internal drive | 03:22 |
| sentix | unixbocx: There's alternative then home hosting that might be safer for you | 03:22 |
| orngjce223 | (unfortunately, but...) | 03:22 |
| zvacet | AndrewGearhart: did you try with other drivers you have to restart mplayer after every change you make | 03:22 |
| unixbocx | true but this has to be mastered.. | 03:22 |
| gogeta | Dr_Willis: installing grub to usb can be tricky w ubuntu | 03:22 |
| Dr_Willis | orngjce223: you will then have to fix the xp mbr to restore it back to normal. | 03:22 |
| Dr_Willis | gogeta: yes it can. | 03:22 |
| gogeta | Dr_Willis: i use the supergrub cd to do it | 03:22 |
| maxie | need some help with config 2 get downloading software like aMule 2 get trough my firewall/router,like what port i sould use or stuff like that-_- | 03:22 |
| sentix | unixbocx: So you've covered that you're problem is not ubuntu as a distro but networking | 03:22 |
| orngjce223 | Dr_Willis: and can I do that from inside ubuntu without the xp install disk by any chance? my xp was oem-installed and I have no disc | 03:22 |
| unixbocx | i'll never get it if i wimp out and host somewhere else | 03:23 |
| cor | good man!# | 03:23 |
| SeaPhor | is there a channel i'm missing? i have tried #gnucash- there's 2 ppl there and i think i hear snoring, there is no #cpa, and #accounting re-directs to ##accounting but there's no one there but chanserv, any pointing in the right direction appreciated | 03:23 |
| sentix | unixbocx: You should re-read the man pages for the dyndns service your using to see if you can direct it to use an internet webservice instead of broadcasting your machine's lan IP | 03:23 |
| Dr_Willis | orngjce223: no idea on repairing the mbr of windows.. you may need to some how plug in the usb drive and boot windows to some sort of rescue mode. | 03:23 |
| cor | unixbocx, can you access the server locally? | 03:23 |
| bazhang | SeaPhor, /msg alis list *term* | 03:23 |
| _Master_ | how do I get a radeon 9600 video out to work in Xubuntu 9.04 ? | 03:23 |
| Badis | haha, I have no printer, so I figured I'd apt-get remove cups, it wants to remove ubuntu-desktop, that can't be good ;) | 03:23 |
| sentix | cor: Good point | 03:24 |
| orngjce223 | Dr_Willis: or can I just have grub with only one system that it boots into in 1 second? | 03:24 |
| unixbocx | sometimes | 03:24 |
| SeaPhor | TY bazhang | 03:24 |
| cor | that's not good enough! 100% THEN move on | 03:24 |
| bazhang | Badis, that is fine to remove | 03:24 |
| unixbocx | sometimes i can get to my site sometimes i can't | 03:24 |
| dorgan | anyone around that can point me in the right direction as to how I would go about setting up a shared hosting environment on a server? | 03:24 |
| Badis | bazhang: really? | 03:24 |
| sentix | _Master_: Do what I did, accept that it's not going to happen... I had the exact card | 03:24 |
| bazhang | Badis, its a metapackage only, not your literal desktop gui | 03:24 |
| Badis | bazhang: oh | 03:24 |
| Dr_Willis | orngjce223: if you got grub setup on the internal drive.. it will want access to the grub files somehow/where... | 03:24 |

| ubottu | Thunderbird is a free email client, capable of close cooperation with Firefox (both by the Mozilla Foundation). To make Thunderbird links open in Firefox, see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=60427 | 03:24 |
| unixbocx | i'm going to set this up one last time and let everyone here log in as root and tell me what the hell i'm doing wrong..lol | 03:25 |
| zvacet | Badis: it is just matapackage you can remove it safely | 03:25 |
| orngjce223 | Dr_Willis: can I set up grub on the hdd to just access winXP within 1 second and have done with it? | 03:25 |
| gogeta | orngjce223: most oem install have the abilty to make restore disk be a good idea | 03:25 |
| Badis | ok then, it doesn't look like it wants to remove anything else that is needed, so here goes... | 03:25 |
| sentix | unixbocx: wow dude, you're on a roll here... Your going to let several dozen anonymous individuals onto your box as root | 03:25 |
| Dr_Willis | orngjce223: it will want its grub files... You would have to some how install grub to that drive.. | 03:25 |
| orngjce223 | gogeta: Oops :P | 03:25 |
| SeaPhor | bazhang, what does "Returning maximum of 60 channel names matching 'gnucash'" mean? | 03:26 |
| subone | Is there a better place to ask this question?: When playing a movie in full screen for my dual screen setup how can i make the other monitor suspend or go black? | 03:26 |
| gogeta | Dr_Willis: supergrub | 03:26 |
| bazhang | SeaPhor, please ask further in #freenode | 03:26 |

| unixbocx | i don't care i can just start over again but at least i'll get some help to point out what i'm missing | 03:26 |
| AndrewGearhart | zvacet: it seems that I may be missing the video codec | 03:26 |
| mattwj2002 | anyone know how to install the beta version of thundbird? | 03:26 |
| mattwj2002 | *thunderbird | 03:26 |

| mattwj2002 | I am using 8.10 | 03:27 |
| subone | if i turn off the monitor the computer knows i turned it off | 03:27 |
| unixbocx | not that no one here has been helpful no no, you'll have helped out a lot | 03:27 |
| orngjce223 | Huh? | 03:27 |
| gogeta | orngjce223: the supergrub live cd can put grub on usb as well as restore the windows mbr on the internel | 03:27 |
| subone | and tries to move around my desktop | 03:27 |
| sentix | subone: No, X doesn't have the same kind of architecture to its video displays as Windows | 03:27 |
| detrate- | :( | 03:27 |
| orngjce223 | gogeta: I used ms-sys to rewrite the mbr, to no avail | 03:27 |

| gogeta | orngjce223: use the live cd i just suggested | 03:27 |
| bazhang | detrate-, no its not. this is support ONLY | 03:27 |
| Dr_Willis | its amazing how many ways MS has to restore the MBR... most all of them 'undocumented' | 03:28 |

| AndrewGearhart | zvacet: yeah... it says its already installed | 03:28 |
| detrate- | okay, well then, can you direct me to a distribution where the people who run the support channel aren't douchebags? jw | 03:28 |
| Badis | I'm not sure this is the right place to ask this but here it is, with ubuntu as main os, and running windows in a virtual box, will I be able to play those games I can't on linux? | 03:28 |
| gogeta | orngjce223: http://www.supergrubdisk.org/ | 03:28 |
| kanigit | hey all. What is ubuntu's equivalent of rc-status in gentoo(to see the status of running apps)? | 03:28 |
| unixbocx | that way i'd for sure have a real world ip address | 03:28 |
| subone | sentix: ok that is a temporary solution then, ty, now how about how to do it "programatically" | 03:28 |
| orngjce223 | gogeta: I'll try that | 03:28 |
| krishna_ | Hi. | 03:28 |
| AndrewGearhart | zvacet: how can I get it to reinstall? | 03:28 |
| Dr_Willis | kanigit: --> willis@cow:/media$ sudo service gdm status | 03:29 |
| Dr_Willis | * gdm is running | 03:29 |
| subone | sentix: you see, i dont want to have to get up to turn off the monitor when i can do it remotely... | 03:29 |
| zvacet | AndrewGearhart: in synaptic mark mplayer for reinstall | 03:29 |
| krishna_ | I want an effective Video/audio fomart converter... Winff and avidemux are not good... anything as perfect as windows app ? | 03:29 |
| sentix | subone: good point | 03:29 |
| Dr_Willis | krishna_: thats vague in several ways.... | 03:29 |
| sentix | subone: You have a nvidia card by chance? | 03:29 |
| AndrewGearhart | zvacet: will that fix all the codecs? I have the codec problem in just about all the video players | 03:29 |
| subone | sentix: ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT | 03:30 |
| Dr_Willis | krishna_: i use winff and avidemux with better success then most anything i find on windows.. Most of the tools i find on windows are using mencoder/ffmpeg anyway.. | 03:30 |
| zvacet | AndrewGearhart: do you have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed | 03:30 |
| unixbocx | sentix do you know about how to connect my wireless router if i used my server to issue dhcp instead of the router | 03:30 |
| gogeta | Dr_Willis: virtuldub | 03:30 |
| sentix | subone: I don't know how it does it, but nvidia has a tool called nvidia-config that allows me to make temporary changes to my monitor arrangement... it might be a start to see how it does that | 03:30 |
| ^cheeky | hi ,whats the best way to install wine, through the repos or some other way , coz i would like to start playing star craft brood war | 03:30 |
| subone | ok ill have a look in the CCC ty | 03:30 |
| krishna_ | Dr_Willis, you can change bitrate with winff ? | 03:30 |
| AndrewGearhart | zvacet: yes. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. | 03:30 |
| richardcavell | ^cheeky: install wine1.2 from repos | 03:30 |
| _Master_ | do I need fglrx to use ati radeon 9600's svideo out ?? | 03:31 |
| _Master_ | I have xubuntu 9.04 | 03:31 |

| Pytlask | Hey all! I'm attempting to convert an mp4 file to an mp3 using ffmpeg, but I'm getting an error "Unsupported codec for output stream #0.0". Does anybody know where I'd get the mp3 codec for ffmpeg? | 03:31 |
| richardcavell | ^cheeky: It's currently wine 1.1.26. Wine 1.1.27 has just been released. It's on the winehq repo but not in the Ubuntu repo | 03:31 |
| sentix | ^cheeky: check that your game is listed as compatible with Wine and also you can add the Wine edgy repo's to get the bleeding edge of changes/improvements to wine... I had to do that to get HL2 running happily | 03:31 |
| meoblast001 | hi | 03:31 |
| Dr_Willis | krishna_: i have changed bitrates for things with it - i belive so. I tend to use it to convert videos to playable format for my CellPhone andother portable devices. | 03:31 |
| kanigit | Dr_Willis, how to I see all services? ie, running, crashed, etc? | 03:31 |
| richardcavell | ^cheeky: You can use the winehq repo if you want. | 03:31 |
| zvacet | AndrewGearhart:sorry I can not help you I don´t have knowledge for that | 03:32 |
| meoblast001 | i just installed emerald, logged out, then logged back in, why is metacity still running? | 03:32 |
| Dr_Willis | kanigit: not sure. try the 'bum' tool perhaps? | 03:32 |
| th0r | unixbocx: pastebin your ddclient.conf | 03:32 |
| AndrewGearhart | Pytlask: I feel your pain... that is what I'm trying to do (ultimately) too. | 03:32 |
| krishna_ | Dr_Willis, ok.. but winff needs more improved appearance :P like win apps :P | 03:32 |

| kanigit | Dr_Willis, tried service --status-all. Looks like it shows the services, however, i need to decipher the flags (+,?-) | 03:33 |
| kanigit | ahh well | 03:33 |
| Dr_Willis | krishna_: ive also see 'windows converter apps' that use mencoder/ffmpeg and other gpl tools and NEVER mention the GPL or include the GPL licenses... thats bad form.. | 03:34 |
| _Master_ | legend2440, it is possible though to get it to work ? | 03:34 |

| gogeta | Dr_Willis: i havent | 03:34 |
| pianistbaby | how can i find out which version of libgpod i have on my ubuntu comp? | 03:34 |
| Dr_Willis | kanigit: just a guess i think + means its running.. - means its not.. ? = not sure. :) | 03:35 |
| legend2440 | _Master_: i tried everything i found with google and finally gave up. the people in channel #ati had some good suggestions but i never did get it to work | 03:35 |
| zvacet | AndrewGearhart: that will not solve problem you can fix it without reinstall if it is audio then in preferences>codecs&demuxer>audio codec family>ffmpeg | 03:36 |
| krishna_ | Dr_Willis, ok | 03:36 |
| kanigit | Dr_Willis, makes sense. man page has nothing regarding the symbols. Ill do some looking around | 03:36 |
| kanigit | Dr_Willis, thanks! | 03:36 |

| AndrewGearhart | zvacet: there are numerous problems though... my webcam won't work anymore... I can't play most desktop videos... I get errors about permissions on my home directory when I login... :-\ | 03:37 |
| caliber | someone wanna run sudo hdparm -Tt /dev/sda in console and see what the output is? Wondering if my hard drive is normal speed right now | 03:37 |

| caliber | cast: that sata? | 03:39 |
| cast | SSD, dunno what interface | 03:40 |
| cast | hmm, it was /dev/sda.... | 03:40 |
| cor | if only people would research linux hardware and THEN purchase | 03:40 |
| gogeta | cast: eee models have slow ssds | 03:40 |
| caliber | seems like.. ahh | 03:41 |
| caliber | eee | 03:41 |
| cast | gogeta: slow? this beast is fast! | 03:41 |
| caliber | i have one of those | 03:41 |
| Xerran | what to do with a makefile? | 03:41 |
| caliber | yeah your disk speed is a bit slow, compared to a normal sata drive | 03:41 |
| cast | Xerran: make, probably | 03:41 |
| caliber | wonder if DMA is disabled on yours | 03:41 |
| Xerran | cast | 03:41 |
| AndrewGearhart | cor: while I admire your candor... there is a great deal of problems with your theory. I tried that... got "well, buy things that are linux compatible" type replies when I spent nearly a week trying to find video hardware that would best support multiple monitors under ubuntu with hardware acceleration | 03:41 |
| cor | but I guarantee that even at full speed SATA3, you won't get back the time you wasted here | 03:41 |
| Xerran | cast, do you mind if i PM you? | 03:42 |
| caliber | lol | 03:42 |
| cast | considering its about 10x faster than running off my SD card, and i ws perfectly happy with that, i'm no complaining :) | 03:42 |
| cast | Xerran: you could, but i won't answer. | 03:42 |
| AndrewGearhart | cor: or the king of replies, "why don't you google it." | 03:42 |
| Xerran | i need help installing conky script | 03:42 |

| cor | Xerran there's a package isn't there? | 03:43 |
| Xerran | yes | 03:43 |
| AndrewGearhart | cor: nobody could give me an answer... so I've skipped hardware acceleration for the time being and stuck with my internal intel gma card | 03:43 |
| salutii | hi | 03:43 |
| cor | install that! | 03:43 |
| AndrewGearhart | cor: blech . ;-) | 03:43 |
| caliber | Xerran: they are saying to change directory into the source folder and do a "make" | 03:43 |
| salutii | very body | 03:43 |
| Xerran | actually no | 03:43 |
| Xerran | ahh, so cd into it? | 03:44 |
| cor | for sure, Linux is for folk who know how to do s great search | 03:44 |
| caliber | Xerran: yeah, followed by the config scripts (conky-colors) | 03:44 |
| caliber | Xerran: and then make install | 03:44 |
| Xerran | thank you | 03:44 |
| caliber | Xerran: np although you may need the source for compiling, there is an Ubuntu package that provides it | 03:44 |

| phajas | I have a Gigabyte T1028 with an Atheros ar928x. It originally recognized the interface, but did not work properly (was unable to show available networks or even connect with a manually entered SSID). Then, I followed some instructions that involved downloading a driver, unpacking it, running a shell script and then running "sudo dpkg --install compat*deb" (I found this on the forum.) Unfortunately, now the interface doesn't come up at all. D | 03:45 |

| === jan is now known as Guest70886 | ||
| caliber | Xerran: I believe it is sudo apt-get install linux-source | 03:46 |
| caliber | to get the headers | 03:46 |
| salutii | can you speak whit me | 03:46 |
| Xerran | ok | 03:46 |
| cast | headers would be linux-headers... | 03:46 |
| Xerran | going to try now | 03:46 |
| AndrewGearhart | cor: well... I get "nvidia" but unfortunately... that isn't ONE video card... that is a manufacturer... so... it doesn't answer the question of which video card to get... and the question is unf more complex according to what I've read about RandR capabilities and buffers for resolutions of 1440x900 on multiple monitors with extended desktops | 03:46 |
| unixbocx | ok, how would i connect to my wireless router if i set my server as the dhcp server, would i use the upload port or just one of the hub ports | 03:46 |

| logankoester | cast: yeah, i believe my cpu is 32-bit | 03:47 |

| phajas | I have a Gigabyte T1028 with an Atheros ar928x. It originally recognized the interface, but did not work properly (was unable to show available networks or even connect with a manually entered SSID). Then, I followed some instructions that involved downloading a driver, unpacking it, running a shell script and then running "sudo dpkg --install compat*deb" (I found this on the forum.) Unfortunately, now the interface doesn't come up at all. D | 04:08 |
| cor | Andy, I feel your pain. though for me, AMD-64 was the first time I have ever, EVER (in what must be thousands of Linux installs over 15 years) EVER had everything *just work*. And though that gives me zero experience with your issues, it does prove that having the right hardware can make *all* the difference. | 04:09 |
| mazda01 | phajas: i already told you. if you don't see your card then you need to enable the module that will get your card working. it's like a driver, without, you'll get no where | 04:09 |
| cor | I can't even remember what manufacturer of video card is in this thing. it's long since forgotten! | 04:09 |

| phajas | mazda01: Unfortunately, modprobing doesn't seem to help. It spews out in dmesg a bunch of commands (that sound alright to me) that aren't working. Things like "unknown symbol ieee80211_start_tx_ba_cb_irqsafe" | 04:10 |
| syntax | dkpg do? | 04:10 |
| phajas | mazda01: So I am stumped as to how to enable the module. Are you sure that ath9k is the right one? | 04:11 |
| genii | phajas: "unknown symbol" usually means the driver you have was compiled for another kernel | 04:12 |
| mazda01 | yes, i am positive that's the module. when you followed the steps, did you ensure the steps you followed were for your kernel? uname -r will show you your kernel | 04:12 |
| phajas | genii: Darn! Is there any way to remove that driver that I have? I feel as though I misinstalled a driver using some bad instructions from an older forum post. | 04:12 |
| genii | phajas: If it was in some .deb file, use the package manager to uninstall it. | 04:13 |
| genii | phajas: Do you have a link to the instructions you used? | 04:13 |
| alvin | anyone know how to downgrade Ubuntu 9.04 Xserver to 1.4 from Hardy Heron? | 04:14 |
| alvin | or manually | 04:14 |
| phajas | genii: Yes, let me pull them up. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7699456 Look at the fifth post there, by a user named "pytheas22" | 04:14 |
| genii | phajas: OK, gimme a minute to dissect it | 04:15 |
| genii | phajas: Since the method involves compiling the driver, it should in fact be for the kernel you were running at the time you compiled it. Did you do a kernel upgrade since then? | 04:17 |
| alvin | I take it that's a no? | 04:17 |
| phajas | genii: I do not believe so. I ran an upgrade right beforehand, and I haven't run one since. I don't suppose there's a way to check what my kernel was when I installed it? This was yesterday, so I doubt there have been any new kernels (but I could be wrong) | 04:17 |
| bazhang | alvin, downgrading is not a good idea; is this about an ati card? | 04:18 |
| alvin | Matrox | 04:18 |

| spO | so i tried to run a kernle that does not have journal file system support, but i guess ubuntu doesn't like that , ie it won't run.... Why does ubuntu use journal file system anyways?? | 04:20 |
| phajas | genii: That command doesn't output anything, I don't think it's loaded | 04:20 |

| bazhang | spO, what fs | 04:20 |
| spO | bazhang, journal file system | 04:21 |
| bazhang | spO, what fs did you try to use | 04:21 |
| genii | phajas: Try then: sudo modprobe ath9k ... then do again the lsmod command to see if it is loaded after that. If not, then use pastebin to put in results of: dmesg | tail | 04:21 |
| roundeye | hello | 04:21 |
| spO | bazhang, i tried to get rid of journal file system support in a custom kernel, but ubuntu doesn't run after that | 04:22 |
| MrPiracy | is there a program for windows that will open ext4 partitions? | 04:22 |
| phajas | genii: Unfortunately, the modprobe then lsmod |grep ath9k doesn't work. It says "unknown symbol in module" just like before. There is no ethernet port near me: should I type in what was outputted into pastebin manually? | 04:22 |
| Watson516 | bazhang: When I click on 'Identify Outputs' it shows DVI-0 and DVI-1 on both monitors | 04:22 |
| phajas | genii: Or can I condense the output of dmesg | tail? | 04:23 |

| genii | phajas: Hm. Just mostly the "unknown symbol" then? | 04:23 |
| gvsa123 | bazhang: i have the foxfilter on ff already... does dansguardian have a gui? | 04:24 |
| phajas | genii: All unknown symbols, 10 lines of them. Things like stop_tx_ba_cb_irqsafe and tx_status (these all follow ieee80211) | 04:24 |
| genii | phajas: OK. When you compiled it were there any errors? | 04:25 |
| kevdog | phajas: Did you compile the ath9k module from source? | 04:25 |
| phajas | genii: I don't remember any, no. Although, sadly, I think I was just copying and pasting the commands mostly | 04:25 |
| kevdog | phajas: Sorry I came in late to the conversation -- but are you sure you want ath9k, rather than ath5k, or madwifi -- it depends on your card's chipset | 04:25 |
| gvsa123 | bazhang: and is it necessary to have dansguardian as well? how different are they? | 04:25 |
| DVA5912 | is there a program where i can use the ir port on my laptop to recive universal remote data and use that data to do stuff like turn the pc off or play a movie etc? | 04:26 |
| bazhang | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Servers/DansGuardian gvsa123 | 04:26 |
| phajas | genii: I only followed the directions from the forum post I sent you, did that involve compiling the modules? | 04:26 |
| phajas | genii: Please excuse my ignorance on this subject | 04:26 |
| DVA5912 | or do i have to *gulp* built it myself? | 04:26 |
| genii | phajas: Yes... the shell script given makes a .deb file | 04:26 |
| phajas | genii: In that case, I did compile from source | 04:26 |

| DVA5912 | wo their is,,, :O checking it out bazhang thanks!!! | 04:27 |
| genii | phajas: The post is less than a couple weeks old. I suspect some other issue like it could not make some of the .deb files (they used a * in the packagenames which are supposed to be installed) | 04:28 |
| DVA5912 | bazhang|> You just gave me a reason to go to ubuntu now :D now how am i going to transfer these programs.... | 04:28 |
| kevdog | phajas: What instructions did you follow? | 04:28 |
| bazhang | DVA5912, which programs | 04:28 |
| genii | phajas: "sudo dpkg --install compat*deb" | 04:28 |

| phajas | genii: Would apt do what we want? Or is there another package manager for .debs? | 04:31 |

| bazhang | chriss3, without wine? doubt it | 04:45 |
| genii | phajas: The main approach is to use kevdog's approach of finding vendor:device code and going from there | 04:45 |
| phajas | kevdog: ar928x then, sorry about the confusion. | 04:45 |

| phajas | kevdog: I think so! We still haven't gotten it back on the ifconfig list yet | 04:48 |
| kevdog | phajas: When you boot up -- does the device come back unclaimed or is another driver assigned to the device when after you boot you check lshw -C network and look at the section specifically focused on your wireless card | 04:48 |
| kevdog | phajas: It will only show up on ifconfig if an appropriate driver or kernel module (linux speak) is claiming the device | 04:48 |

| geezer | I have a question. Currently have Jaunty (32bit) running on a 2.0GHz Core2Duo laptop with 3GB RAM and an Intel 4500 graphics chipset. My compiz effects are pretty minimal (no desktop cube or water effects). Will installing the Avant Window Navigator dock degrade my performance? | 04:50 |
| kevdog | phajas: Have you done a sudo update db. Then a sudo locate ath9k or simply a sudo locate ath to see what comes back? What kernel are you running anyway (uname -r) or what version of Ubuntu we talking about | 04:50 |
| bazhang | geezer, with that amount of ram and that card its doubtful | 04:50 |
| bazhang | geezer, why not try it out; though there are other dock options you may prefer | 04:51 |

| genii | phajas: Yes. | 04:57 |
| kevdog | phajas: Just a heads up on how the ath drivers work. wmaster0 represents the actual device. However to access all of the ath cards, they create a virtual interface. You need to send commands through the virtual interface and not through the actual interface name. ifconfig should list a virtual interface. I know this sounds confusing but if you get into anything like aircrack-ng you... | 04:58 |
| kevdog | ...will soon discover why having more than one virtual interface is such a novel and great idea | 04:58 |
| larour | hello, sorry to bother, I'm trying to get my sound card to work using kubuntu: the greeting sound works for kde, but apart from that, I can't get any sound to come up when playing movies. | 04:58 |

| stealth- | is there any way to tell what gigahertz my proccessor is working at? | 04:58 |
| legend2440 | sos: is there a bios setting for how much video memory on your Dell? | 04:58 |
| phajas | kevdog: I see. If I ever get a darker shade of hat, I may look into it :). ifconfig shows wlan0 AND wmaster0 | 04:58 |
| kevdog | phajas: So don't get confused -- you want the virtual wlan0 interface and not the wmaster0 interface. Bottom line -- never use wmaster0. It will never work. | 04:59 |

| stealth- | whodevil: you have to use a mount flag to allow people other than root to write to the device, or change the filesystem to a permission supported one | 05:02 |

| spO | JFS was not made for being a OS fs , why is it being used for that now... people cannot create something that is more effective or efficent? | 05:10 |
| softsantear | i assume there is a config somewhere pointing the reinstalled version to the wrong codecs, etc. | 05:10 |
| pelmen | softsantear: did you try changing output in the options ? | 05:10 |
| n_nick | i mean i can use it to connect to the internet or connect to the other pc | 05:10 |
| phajas | kevdog: I don't think so, it doesn't look like anything else is erroring | 05:10 |
| _Trinity_ | if I recall a dying CMOS battery could account for the new bios config to stick | 05:10 |
| pelmen | softsantear: are you using smplayer or just mplayer ? | 05:10 |
| stealth- | n_nick: you dont need a router for ssh..... I can connect to a computer in france via ssh, or connect to the computer beside me via the same method | 05:10 |
| libtech | _Trinity_: yes, that would probably reset cmios | 05:11 |
| yokobr | hey guys | 05:11 |
| softsantear | pelmen: just mplayer. i didn't try to specify an output format because it usually picks it up | 05:11 |
| n_nick | so u mean just plug the RJ45 one end in the laptopn and other in the desktop[ and go ssh ??? | 05:11 |
| anom01y | is there a way to get nvidia modile 9600's svideo out to work ? | 05:11 |
| kevdog | phajas: Lame Question and action -- but have you rebooted your computer since you were screwing around with it earlier? Is mac80211 listed within lsmod? | 05:11 |
| softsantear | pelmen: mplayer runs everything i throw at it, so i was hoping to compile an also FLV friendly version. sledgehammer approach | 05:11 |
| anom01y | its a laptoi | 05:11 |
| pelmen | softsantear: well i would recommend you geting smplayer and playing with options | 05:11 |
| anom01y | laptop | 05:11 |
| bribon | softsantear: did you make uninstall mplayer? | 05:11 |
| _Trinity_ | k, thanks guys. I'll have the tec replace the CMOS battery if upon instruction the bios config change didn't take | 05:11 |
| pelmen | softsantear: i am not fammiliar with that approach | 05:11 |
| Dark-By-Design | the new amarok sucks | 05:12 |
| _Trinity_ | "upon inspection" | 05:12 |
| phajas | kevdog: No I have not. And yes, mac80211 is still listed | 05:12 |
| phajas | kevdog: Should I reboot? | 05:12 |
| n_nick | stealth-: so u mean just plug the RJ45 one end in the laptopn and other in the desktop[ and go ssh ??? | 05:12 |
| pelmen | softsantear: does it give you any error ? | 05:12 |
| stealth- | n_nick: im not familiar with exactly how that works, but if you can get a active connection between the two, ethernet will work | 05:12 |
| n_nick | thts the issue | 05:12 |
| softsantear | bribon: christ, i didn't!! thank you | 05:12 |
| stealth- | n_nick: I mean if you can get a active connection, *ssh will work | 05:12 |
| kevdog | phajas: Yes reboot -- and after reboot if your device is still unclaimed -- load the ath9k kernel module with the sudo modprobe ath9k statement | 05:12 |
| softsantear | bribon: that cleaned it. the old repo version works now. but i would like to get an flv friendly version working :( | 05:12 |

| libtech | Dark-By-Design: what else do you expect? | 05:13 |
| _Trinity_ | I'm told the bios change did stick | 05:13 |
| Dark-By-Design | libtech: respect | 05:13 |
| softsantear | pelmen: thanks but i intend to stick to command line mplayer | 05:13 |
| softsantear | bribon: i will ask in #mplayer.......... | 05:13 |
| libtech | Dark-By-Design: chill brah | 05:14 |
| Dark-By-Design | My mom has a bra | 05:14 |
| _Trinity_ | maybe the computer is wired wrong and boot priority is pointing to a CDRom that isn't wired | 05:14 |
| stealth- | n_nick: hmmm, in that case im not sure how to get that to work. I think you *need* one of the computers to provide the same job the router does. however, I could be wrong | 05:14 |

| phajas | kevdog: Still no scan results. What do you think is wrong with it? | 05:18 |
| th0r | zigi: so you have a vnc password. Next step...how do you invoke vnc? it should be 'vncserver :1' | 05:18 |
| tread | cast, well there are add-ons for PPTP that implement encryption. Plus, I'm not running the VPN server so I don't have a choice. I just need a client, and would prefer a GUI front-end for gnome other than the (non-functional) network-manager. | 05:18 |
| kevdog | phajas: Recheck dmesg and look for something after the ath9k driver was loaded | 05:19 |

| bit101 | Hi, I'm on a windows machine and was wondering if I could connect to my Ubuntu machine and log in like Windows Remote Desktop does; ie have a new GNOME session and sync screen size etc | 05:33 |
| pdx77 | I have a Windows XP .iso file on my laptop that's running Ubuntu, and install that to my netbook (which is also running ubuntu at the moment)... now is it possible to make my USB flash drive bootable? I know on Windows there's a few utilities that I can use, and under ubuntu the only thing I can find is to make it bootable so you can install linux on it | 05:33 |
| zigi | th0r: i get " 3385 pts/0 S+ 0:00 grep vnc" | 05:33 |
| kevdog | phajas: I'm not certain what your problem is -- you might want to start from scratch via these instructions: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Download However these assume you have compiled on linux before and you know what you are doing. It would have taken me about 1.5 years on Ubuntu before I thought of myself of competent to understand these instructions and carry them out | 05:33 |
| bit101 | quentusrex, yes I spose so. what's the question? | 05:33 |
| quentusrex | My company is implementing an openldap server, and an nfs server, and we're trying to find out what can be tied to the machines. | 05:33 |
| th0r | zigi: then the server is not running. type 'which vncserver' and see if there is even a server available | 05:33 |
| phajas | kevdog: Besides this, do you have any other ideas? This sounds pretty dense and difficult | 05:34 |
| quentusrex | bit101: We are going to use them to provide network shared files, and centralized auth, but we are wondering if there is something else we can do with it. | 05:34 |
| Cige | I really have no idea what the problem is, I know that it's the computer and not the external hard drive, as the external is detected by my laptop and works fine. Is there some way for me to troubleshoot the problem through ubuntu? | 05:34 |
| zigi | th0r: nothing came up | 05:34 |
| kevdog | phajas: Um -- yea another idea would be to try another wireless device!! I always have a few spare cards laying around from different purchases i have made throughout the years -- but that might just be me | 05:35 |
| tread | th0r, i'm reading the pptp-linux docs, but it seems as if you do have to edit a bunch of config files in order to set up a vpn connection. | 05:35 |

| th0r | zigi: then the server isn't installed | 05:35 |
| phajas | kevdog: Unfortunately, I do not. I like this card, as it has 802.11n and bluetooth built in. There really is no "quick fix" for this? | 05:35 |
| zigi | th0r: i just installed it. Can you give me instructions to install it then? | 05:35 |
| th0r | tread: man pptp? it looked like everything could be specified on the command line but I may have missed something. Towards the bottom of the man page is an example command for accessing a vpn | 05:35 |

| th0r | zigi: using apt-get? there should be a vncserver available then...'which vncserver' should have returned the path to the executable. | 05:39 |

| th0r | zigi: yeah....I don't use x11vnc...I use vnc4, but I always thought no matter which the command was 'vncserver'. | 05:53 |
| th0r | zigi: learn something new every day | 05:53 |
| campee | legend2440: ** (gnome-app-install:4645): WARNING **: return value of custom widget handler was not a GtkWidget | 05:54 |
| zigi | th0r: i will use vnc4 then. Can you tell me if it will work for what i need? i want to make it so i can vnc into the computer before login. | 05:54 |
| th0r | zigi: you may have that already. Are you using the Terminal Services Client in gnome? | 05:54 |
| zigi | th0r: since i am not sure what that is proboly no | 05:55 |
| kapil | zigi, th0r: the difference between vncserver and x11vnc is that the former creates a new virtual X session. the latter exports the existing X session via the vnc protocol. | 05:55 |
| legend2440 | campee: yea i get that too but it still brings up the GUI. is your GUI starting? | 05:55 |
| kandjar | hi everyone | 05:55 |
| zigi | kapil: thanx, i want to be on the existing session | 05:56 |
| Cige | legend2240: yes, I think that it is detected. I'm not sure which one it is, but I see 3 usb devices, and with the Hard drive in there there are 3 usb devices | 05:56 |
| R0b0t1 | This might be an obscure question, but is there a way to install the likes of dwm (or get it running) w/o having to constantly compile in the changes as root? | 05:56 |
| th0r | kapil: ah....like I said...learn something new every day <smile>. Then for x11vnc if he is already logged in at the server he won't have to log in again at the client? | 05:56 |
| zigi | th0r: so i dont want to start a new session via VNC but continue the one that is started | 05:56 |
| kapil | to use x11vnc make sure that your DISPLAY variable is properly set to the X display you want to export. | 05:57 |
| kandjar | since I installed the latest ubuntu (9.04); the video stop playing in firefox, I tried to install all different codecs; but it still doesn't work... :( Interesting fact: when I can download the video, I can watch it offline. inside the browser -> doesn't work! | 05:57 |
| zigi | kapil: how do i do that | 05:57 |
| legend2440 | Cige: so what is wrong? you cant access the hard drive? | 05:57 |
| kandjar | zigi: have you tried nxclient? | 05:57 |
| Anonymous24 | hello | 05:57 |
| zigi | no | 05:57 |
| kapil | alternatively, you use "x11vnc -display :0" or replace ":0" if necessary. | 05:58 |
| Anonymous24 | #ping | 05:58 |
| Anonymous24 | !ping | 05:58 |
| ubottu | ping yourself ;-) really the diodes all down my left side are sore | 05:58 |
| kandjar | zigi: it's really well done; and work from a windows box too :) | 05:58 |
| krishna_ | Hi | 05:58 |
| Cige | It does not automatically mount | 05:58 |
| zigi | so i should use nxclient? | 05:58 |
| kandjar | zigi: and it resume the connection automatically | 05:58 |
| kapil | zigi, kandjar: nxclient is an entirely different protocol and suite of programs. | 05:59 |
| krishna_ | i installed firefox 3.5 with apt-get install firefox-3.5 ... but in help > about shows only 3.0.1 .... why ?? | 05:59 |
| Anonymous24 | I love ubuntu I just wanted to say that.. it was the solution to my vista problem | 05:59 |
| kandjar | zigi: at least I think you should try it, i m very happy with it | 05:59 |
| kandjar | yes it is but worth a shot imho | 05:59 |
| ^cheeky | umm sorry but does anyone play starcraft in ubuntu using wine ? | 05:59 |
| Cige | legend2440: It does not automatically mount, also it did not work on my vista partition, but it DID work on my ubuntu laptop | 05:59 |
| dsnyders | Anonymous24, It allowed me to avoid the vista problem altogether. | 05:59 |
| zigi | kapil: what protocal is it? | 05:59 |
| th0r | zigi: there are several ways to access a remote computer. Stick with vnc for now, and then you can experiment with the others one at a time | 05:59 |
| zigi | th0r: so what should i use and how? | 06:00 |
| kandjar | ^cheeky: nop but I tried warcraft III with ubuntu 8.10; didn't work :( | 06:00 |
| dsnyders | zigi, you may also wish to download a program called putty. It allows for telnet, ssh, and serial connections to linux. | 06:01 |
| kapil | zigi: what i mean is that the two systems "vnc*" and "nx*" are not compatible. | 06:01 |
| Anonymous24 | ubuntu is like my friend now.. and I even can use ms office perfectly | 06:01 |
| th0r | zigi: first type 'ps ax | grep vnc' and see if x11vnc is running | 06:01 |
| Cige | so, is there a way to tell ubuntu to manually mount a device plugged into a usb port? | 06:01 |
| Anonymous24 | and now, time to download Widelands | 06:01 |
| Cige | *manually tell ubuntu | 06:01 |
| ^cheeky | kandjar, umm ok | 06:01 |
| krishna_ | i installed firefox 3.5 with apt-get install firefox-3.5 ... but in help > about shows only 3.0.1 .... why ?? | 06:01 |
| zigi | th0r: it says "4320 pts/0 S+ 0:00 grep vnc" | 06:01 |
| losher | Cige: yes, but there's a trick to it... | 06:02 |
| Cige | krishna_: you should see a browser labeled "minefield" that is firefox 3.5 | 06:02 |
| th0r | zigi: if that is the only line you got, then type 'x11vnc -display :0' | 06:02 |
| kandjar | krishna_: i had the same thing; it's because installing firefox through apt-get didn't change the shortcut | 06:02 |
| Cige | krishna_: but i'm no expert, that's just from experience | 06:02 |
| kandjar | krishna_: you can launch firefox-3.5 from the shell | 06:02 |
| zigi | th0r: i did | 06:02 |
| Cige | losher: what is it? | 06:03 |
| th0r | zigi: now try 'ps ax | grep vnc' again...you should get a second line that says x11vnc is running | 06:03 |
| krishna_ | kandjar, so i have 3.5 or 3.1 | 06:03 |
| zigi | th0r: nope did not | 06:03 |
| kandjar | krishna_: probably :) I have 3.0 and 3.5 on my side | 06:04 |
| kandjar | :) | 06:04 |
| losher | Cige: when you plug in the usb device, the kernel will assign a device name to it. You have to run dmesg to see what the device name is. Then you can use that device name in a mount command to mount the device. Harder to explain than to do it... | 06:04 |
| zigi | th0r: this is weird. I just reformatted this computer because i was having trouble with vnc and i am still having trouble | 06:04 |
| maxie | what's the terminal command 2 get a list of files that is in a spesifict folder and what's the command 2 delete a file?? | 06:04 |
| kandjar | krishna_: now, other than changing it by hand I don't know how to fix it :) | 06:04 |
| th0r | zigi: on the server, when you type the x11vnc command, did you get a screen full of info? | 06:05 |
| zigi | th0r:ya | 06:05 |
| Cige | losher: I typed dmesg into a terminal and got a wall of text... | 06:05 |
| losher | maxie: ls -l folder. Use the rm command (carefully) to delete files... | 06:05 |
| genii | maxie: ls /name/of/folder and: rm /path/to/file/filename-to-remove | 06:05 |
| maxie | thx | 06:05 |
| maxie | ^_^ | 06:05 |
| losher | Cige: look for something talking about the usb device. It will be near the bottom... | 06:05 |
| kandjar | come to think of it; i m thinking about switching back to 8.10... to many new issue with 9.04 :( | 06:05 |
| th0r | zigi: then how are you typing the ps command? the server should be locked right now running x11vnc | 06:06 |
| kandjar | including: video now working inside firefox... bluetooth not working at all! | 06:06 |
| losher | Cige: pastebin the last page of output if you can't find it & we'll look at it together... | 06:06 |
| Cige | ok | 06:06 |
| zigi | th0r:o im doing something wrong. now i am getting that it is running | 06:07 |
| losher | kandjar: I went back to 8.04 LTS | 06:07 |
| kandjar | losher: u had issue too? | 06:07 |
| th0r | zigi: right...now go to the other computer, and try vncviewer <serverIP>:0 | 06:07 |
| spO | is grub2 much better than grub? | 06:07 |
| losher | kandjar: the same ones everyone else has: sound, flash, ext4, other odd things not working the same. For no other significant benefit.... | 06:08 |
| kandjar | losher: I should probably do that too... I can't remember if the wpa-psk was working by default with 8.04 | 06:08 |
| Cige | ok, I posted it as "cige" | 06:08 |
| web5|org|ua | there is no problem to instal kde on ubuntu with gnome ? | 06:08 |
| zigi | th0r: it worked but did not prompt for password and also x11vnc shutdown once i exit VNC | 06:08 |
| zigi | th0r: on the client computer | 06:08 |
| kandjar | losher: oh i see... | 06:08 |
| losher | Cige: where did you ppst it? | 06:09 |
| zigi | th0r: the viewing computer | 06:09 |
| kandjar | losher: well it's decided then back to at 8.04 lts or 8.10 | 06:09 |
| th0r | zigi: right | 06:09 |
| Cige | losher: http://pastebin.com/m5557fe51 | 06:09 |
| th0r | kapil: lesson learned...never try vncviewer localhost:0 <smile> | 06:09 |
| spO | how come ubuntu doesn't come with grub 2, it installs grub 1 | 06:09 |
| zigi | th0r: so how do i set a password | 06:09 |
| roflparrot | grub 1.5 goes alright | 06:10 |
| zigi | th0r: or enable it | 06:10 |
| Cige | losher: I may have disconnected my bluetooth dongle to lessen the number of things showing up on lsusb | 06:11 |
| kandjar | losher: it's king of a shame; i decided to switch to 9.04 coz with 8.10 eveyrthing was fine until I install one of the recommanded upgrade and then... no more sound... or more precisely; it's was working on time to time and mostly not working at all | 06:11 |
| th0r | zigi: close the vncviewer, then on the server log out...leave x11vnc running...just log out | 06:11 |
| kandjar | especially after launching firefox. | 06:11 |
| Cige | losher: so that may show up on there | 06:11 |
| === john is now known as die_hard_linux | ||
| th0r | zigi: then try the vncviewer again | 06:11 |
| losher | Cige: doesn't look like the usb device connected: usb 6-2: USB disconnect, address 2. Try unplugging, waiting, then replugging...? | 06:11 |
| Cige | ok | 06:11 |
| zigi | th0r: i think x11vnc shut itself down\ | 06:12 |
| Cige | losher: I'll change ports too, see if that helps | 06:12 |
| th0r | zigi: try vncviewer and see | 06:12 |
| losher | kandjar: I've been seeing complaints about intermittent sound on this channel since 9.04 came out, with no consensus for a solution. Apparently the developers can't fix it either... | 06:12 |
| zigi | th0r: i did, didnt work | 06:12 |
| web5|org|ua | if i have auto-login and now install kde, how to change between gnome and kde ? | 06:13 |
| losher | !kde | 06:13 |
| legend2440 | Cige: you said before that with usb drive plugged in you have 3 entries when you type lsusb in terminal. what are they? | 06:13 |
| ubottu | KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu. To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop », or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE . See http://kubuntu.org for more information. For more information on KDE 4, see !kde4 | 06:13 |
| kandjar | losher: doh :( | 06:13 |
| th0r | zigi: I never used x11vnc so I am figuring this part out as I go. I think x11vnc is for sharing the desktop you are using, so you are already logged in. Install vnc4server and lets work with that | 06:13 |
| Cige | they are: | 06:14 |
| kandjar | losher: so they f.. it up and can't even roll back :( tsss | 06:14 |
| Cige | Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0457:0163 Silicon Integrated Systems Corp. 802.11 Wireless LAN Adapter | 06:14 |
| krishna_ | So i did apt-get intsall firefox-3.5 ... what am i having now ??? This new 3.5 overwrote old firefox .. ??? or i am still using the old ffiriefox which shows in about as "firefox 3.1." /..... can anyone help me ? | 06:14 |
| zigi | th0r: will that let me login at the session already logged in? or will it start a new session | 06:14 |
| Cige | Bus 001 Device 006: ID 058f:6391 Alcor Micro Corp. | 06:14 |

| [HCI]Maraakate | Wow, I didn't know you could KDE into ubuntu easily with sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 06:14 |
| th0r | zigi: vnc4server will start a new session and you will have to log in | 06:14 |
| legend2440 | Cige: what brand usb drive is it? | 06:14 |
| kandjar | krishna_: no installing the new one didnt uninstall the old one. tha'ts why you have both on ur system | 06:14 |
| [HCI]Maraakate | will it give me an option to boot into gnome or KDE after I logon. | 06:15 |
| zigi | th0r: i want it to login to the current session | 06:15 |
| web5|org|ua | krishna_: create launcher with app name firefox-3.5 | 06:15 |
| losher | kandjar: 9.04 appears to have been rushed out the door without enough QA. Followed by a lot of denial... | 06:15 |
| th0r | zigi: then you want x11vnc, but if it is a current session you won;t need a password | 06:15 |
| web5|org|ua | krishna_: or just in terminal type firefox-3.5 and enter | 06:15 |
| web5|org|ua | krishna_: you now have TWO firefoxES ! | 06:16 |
| kandjar | losher: no good ... you end up with a lot of bad publicity... | 06:16 |
| krishna_ | web5|org|ua, ok.. | 06:16 |
| Cige | legend: I have no clue, I got the IDE drive from a friend for helping to fix his computer, it's an old 128gb one. Let me open the case and see if I can find the manufacturer | 06:16 |
| zigi | th0r: but i had it working once and then it stopped working. | 06:16 |
| krishna_ | web5|org|ua, shall i uninstall the old fox ??? as i have all the bookmakrs and addons here too ? | 06:16 |
| th0r | zigi: you can require a password with a command line option | 06:16 |
| legend2440 | Cige: Primax is a scanner? | 06:16 |
| zigi | th0r: how | 06:16 |
| Cige | the case I got for $20 at microcenter | 06:16 |
| legend2440 | Cige: oh so its a hard drive in a usb case? | 06:17 |
| web5|org|ua | krishna_: maybe ! | 06:17 |
| losher | Cige: none of those look like a disk drive. Has this ever been seen to work? | 06:17 |
| krishna_ | web5|org|ua, am i good to remove the old fox ??? because i have all the addons imported here .. | 06:17 |
| kandjar | losher: the sound issue i had it with 8.10... thinking of it; i ll definitively try 8.04 again hoping hte wireless will be working properly.. it's a pain to manually set it up | 06:17 |
| Cige | legend: I have a wireless usb mouse a wifi dongle and the drive plugged in | 06:17 |
| Cige | legend2440: nailed it | 06:18 |
| th0r | zigi: you can put the password in a file, or you can specify it on the commandlline 'x11vnc -passwd <password> -display :0 | 06:18 |
| web5|org|ua | krishna_: 3.1 don't relative from 3.5, remove 3.1 | 06:18 |
| Cige | legend2440: would it be the case manufacturer or the HD manufacturer | 06:18 |
| krishna_ | web5|org|ua, ok.. i remove 3.1 now | 06:18 |
| krishna_ | web5|org|ua, thanks for the support! | 06:18 |
| Cige | losher: it worked fine with my ubuntu laptop just an hour ago | 06:18 |
| losher | Cige: the HD mfcturer... | 06:19 |
| web5|org|ua | krishna_: :) | 06:19 |
| losher | Cige: ok, that's good. so you know the hardware is ok. What version os is on the laptop, and on your current machine? | 06:19 |
| zigi | th0r: i dont think that worked, also how do i keep x11vnc continually running it keep shutting down | 06:19 |
| Cige | losher: both 9.04 | 06:19 |
| th0r | zigi: you keep it running with the -forever option on the command line | 06:20 |
| Cige | losher: desktop also had vista(ugh), I didn't see the hard drive in that either | 06:20 |
| zigi | th0r: ok, but i still need to set a password | 06:20 |
| legend2440 | losher: if the drive was not properly unmounted would that cause problems? | 06:20 |
| Cige | losher: actually, windows explorer crashed trying to detect it | 06:20 |
| th0r | zigi: I'm reading the man page...take a look at 'man x11vnc' | 06:20 |
| Cige | losher: which is why I'm trying to get it to work in ubuntu | 06:21 |
| losher | Cige: ok, so now I'm wondering if there's a problem with your desktop usb hardware.... | 06:21 |
| cwraig | could someone please have a look at http://paste.ubuntu.com/250144/ i am trying to start a second X session and it seems to be failing to detect the hardware properly but the first session works fine | 06:21 |
| zigi | th0r: k thanx | 06:21 |
| jgoo | echo foo bar | somebinary < I want the process id of that binary | 06:21 |
| losher | legend2440: it might, but not at this level. It won't even admit the disk exists right now, let alone that the filesystem on it might be corrupt... | 06:22 |
| legend2440 | Cige: how is that drive formatted? ntfs? vfat? ext3? | 06:22 |
| Cige | losher: maybe, it has been spotty before, front ports have sometimes not worked, but I know the ports I've used it in worked fine | 06:22 |
| th0r | zigi: try this...x11vnc -rfbauth -passwd <password> -display :0 | 06:22 |
| kandjar | losher: are you using a wifi connection? with 6.04? | 06:22 |
| kandjar | 8.04 | 06:22 |
| Cige | legend: I don't remember, maybe ntfs. deffinately not ext3 | 06:22 |
| jgoo | I have a script ~/myscript which is '( "$@" ) & echo $!' - but echo foo bar | ~/myscript somebinary - while works, and shows pid, no longer pipes foo bar to somebinary | 06:22 |
| Cige | I'll see what happend when I plug it into my laptop | 06:23 |
| losher | kandjar: I use wifi with 8.04, but that doesn't guarantee you can. It depends almost entirely on which wifi card you have, and if there are drivers available for it... | 06:23 |
| DWonderly | kandjar: I've gotten old wifi cards to work with ndis wrapper | 06:23 |
| kandjar | true; but were you able to use the wpa setup? or were you using wpa-supplicant to get it? | 06:23 |
| losher | jgoo: don't you want echo $* instead? | 06:23 |
| jgoo | any bash experts? | 06:24 |
| jgoo | losher --- do tell me more | 06:24 |
| zigi | th0r: did not work it said: "option -rfbauth is incompatible with:<new line>-passwd, -viewpasswd, and -passwdfile" | 06:24 |
| iamherman | hello! | 06:24 |
| soreau | jgoo: #bash | 06:24 |
| jgoo | what is $* and what would it replace? | 06:24 |
| losher | jgoo: $* means all arguments the script received... | 06:24 |
| DWonderly | kandjar: Yes | 06:24 |
| kandjar | DWonderly: i have a e1705; can't quite remmeber if i had to use ndiswrapper or not :) | 06:24 |
| iamherman | I want to have mIRC for ubuntu | 06:24 |
| Cige | legend: I'll put it in my laptop and run lsusb to see if I get the same device detected | 06:24 |
| DWonderly | iamherman: I use XChat... looks just like it | 06:24 |
| jgoo | losher - will it work for the piped data? | 06:25 |
| zigi | th0r: just tried it without -rfbauth and it worked. need to restart computer to make sure | 06:25 |
| th0r | zigi: yeah, it should be just x11vnc -passwd password -display :0 | 06:25 |
| DWonderly | Kandjar: I've used it on 3 PCs and it works like a charm | 06:25 |
| zigi | th0r: so i will be right back | 06:25 |
| losher | jgoo: ignore me. I don't know what I'm talking about. No it won't work for piped data.... | 06:25 |
| soreau | iamherman: I recommend xchat | 06:25 |
| krishna_ | web5|org|ua, eventhough i use this new fox-3.5... when i login orkut.. it says "you are using an unsporrted browser... use IE or firefox or chrome.." .. .. but isnt this firefox ???? but its saying some name as shiretokya ? | 06:25 |
| cwraig | is there an easy way to populate xorg.conf with the settings that gnome has detected? | 06:25 |
| kandjar | definitively working fine with 9.04; and i believed it was also working without pb with 8.10 | 06:25 |
| Cige | legend: if not, then it must be a problem with my usb drives | 06:25 |
| kandjar | DWonderly: what? wpa-supplicant? or the graphic interface? | 06:26 |
| damo23 | how do i resize my root partition, do i need to boot a livecd and unmount root? | 06:26 |
| losher | Cige: run dmesg on the laptop too so you can see what normal dmesg output looks like... | 06:26 |
| DWonderly | Kandjar: now I don't remember.. its been a couple of years | 06:26 |
| krishna_ | web5|org|ua, orkut is not supported with the browser you are using. We recommend using Chrome, Firefox 1.5 or Internet Explorer 6.0 and above for the best experience. orkut says this | 06:26 |
| legend2440 | i have a question about modules. if sudo rmmod ehci_hcd removes the module how would i reinstall it? | 06:27 |
| soreau | dam0: That would probably be the sanest way, except you don't have to unmount root on a live cd since it's running in memory, just use gparted | 06:27 |
| krishna_ | web5|org|ua, but isnt this firefox ? | 06:27 |
| kandjar | DWonderly: :) | 06:27 |
| Cige | legend: lsusb on the laptop gives out "Alcor Micro Corp", which was one of the desktop ones, so we know that my desktop detected it at least | 06:27 |
| DWonderly | kandjar: Sorry mate... | 06:27 |
| kandjar | it;s ok :) | 06:27 |
| soreau | legend2440: You mean reload it. You'd do that with modprobe <module_name> | 06:27 |
| legend2440 | soreau: ok thanks | 06:28 |
| zigi | th0r: x11vnc is completely working except password still not :( | 06:28 |
| Cige | losher: interesting... | 06:28 |
| legend2440 | Cige: can you access it on the laptop? | 06:28 |
| losher | Cige: I don't think Alcor makes disk drives... | 06:28 |
| krishna_ | orkut is not supported with the browser you are using. We recommend using Chrome, Firefox 1.5 or Internet Explorer 6.0 and above for the best experience. orkut says this ... But i started using the new firefox-3.5 ,,,, ?????????? | 06:29 |
| Cige | legend2440: yes, and it works fine | 06:29 |
| th0r | zigi: it should just be -passwd (password) where (password) is the password you want to use | 06:29 |
| KB1JWQ | 1.5?! | 06:29 |
| DWonderly | krishna_: What are you going on about? | 06:29 |
| losher | Cige: and the dmesg output? | 06:29 |

| legend2440 | Cige: in terminal type mount and see what filesystem that drive uses. ie ntfs | 06:30 |
| zigi | th0r: what? what you said did not make sense. i put my password were it says <password> and it works once i put the code in again but if i restart then it does not work anymore | 06:30 |
| th0r | zigi: I don't understand. You mean the password worked the first time? | 06:31 |
| rain_ | richardcavell: yo | 06:31 |
| kandjar | doh... this is where I whish I didn't leave my usb key at work... now I have to burn a dvd lol lazy me :) | 06:31 |

| DWonderly | Krishna_: From what I understand your getting an error msg saying that it isn't Firefox right? | 06:33 |
| Cige | losher: maybe, one second | 06:33 |
| th0r | zigi: right...when you close the terminal you stop x11vnc. If you want to close the window add & at the end of the command | 06:33 |
| krishna_ | DWonderly, yes.. | 06:33 |

| richardcavell | rain_: I'm in PM with CcSsNET about this | 06:36 |
| owen1 | what's wrong with mplayer and .mov files? it's almost impossible to move back and forth a mov video. is it just me? | 06:36 |
| krishna_ | web5|org|ua, DWonderly ok.. thanks | 06:36 |
| rain_ | richardcavell: ok cool, i'll let yall work it out then, gotta go afk anyways | 06:36 |
| losher | Cige: that's what should have happened on the desktop. See this line: sd 6:0:0:0: [sdb] 234439535 512-byte hardware sectors: (120 GB/111 GiB). It says your device is /dev/sdb. Now you can run 'sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb' to see if there are any partitions on the drive | 06:36 |

| web5|org|ua | krishna_: never heard about ORKUT before ! | 06:37 |
| kevdog | DWonderly: It was a question -- I need help on the mingw compiler | 06:38 |
| DWonderly | kevdog: A little less vague? | 06:38 |
| krishna_ | web5|org|ua, its a social networking site owned By *Google* | 06:38 |

| DWonderly | kevdog: Ah now I understand. Your looking for a programmer to help on a project | 06:40 |
| owen1 | anyone using mplayer and .mov files and can easily move back and forth in the movie? | 06:40 |
| losher | Cige: ok, so to mount manually, you would do e.g. mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt | 06:40 |
| kevdog | DWonderly: Yes -- How do I use mingw to cross compile a project? | 06:40 |
| Cige | losher, ok i'll give that a whirl, see if it works | 06:41 |
| losher | Cige: OOPS: *sudo* mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt | 06:41 |
| DWonderly | kevdog: I've never used the program before... have to looked in google or in the documentation for mingw? | 06:41 |

| kandjar | [daemon]: true :) I tried kde 1.x and prob 2.x years ago... It was OK, but too resource demanding... | 06:49 |
| === baldrick is now known as thumper | ||
| Cige | ok, the mount command gives "mount: mount point .mnt does not exist" | 06:49 |
| Cige | fdisk -l /dev/sdb gives nothing at all | 06:50 |
| Cige | not when sudo'd either | 06:50 |
| losher | Cige: earlier you said it showed one ntfs partition, /dev/sdb1..... | 06:51 |
| Cige | losher: OH, sorry I typed .mnt not /mnt | 06:51 |
| Cige | with /mnt I get "mount: special device /dev/sdb1 does not exist" | 06:52 |
| Cige | losher: yes, that is the only partition on the external | 06:52 |
| losher | Cige: that's a lot of typos. Maybe you need to take a break and come back to it fresh... | 06:52 |
| Cige | losher: no, I'm just a bad typist... | 06:52 |
| legend2440 | Cige: you using gnome? | 06:53 |
| Cige | yes | 06:53 |
| Cige | legend2440: why | 06:53 |
| losher | Cige: well first you said fdisk -l /dev/sdb showed an ntfs partition on /dev/sdb1 and then later that it showed nothing. I'm confused... | 06:53 |

| Cige | legend2440: I see only one, the windows partition | 06:55 |
| mreverywhere | i have vlc and it goes grey when i watch a video and stops responding, how do i fix this? | 06:56 |
| losher | Cige: ok, too many cooks in this one. I'll just step back for the moment... | 06:56 |
| Drained | mreverywhere it sounds like a codec problem.. have you install the codecs? | 06:57 |
| sndv | can anyone help me get the sound to work? | 06:57 |
| Cige | I see the partition on the other computer, but on this one, while it seems to detect the device it doesn't do anything with it | 06:57 |
| sndv | when testing my sound in settings it works | 06:57 |
| kandjar | is kde still high resource demanding? | 06:57 |
| sndv | but when i play a movie or something online | 06:57 |
| gogeta | Drained: lol vlc does not need exxtra codecs | 06:57 |
| sndv | tghers no sound | 06:57 |
| legend2440 | Cige: so you have a windows partition and also ubuntu on that computer? | 06:57 |
| Drained | Sndv: try switching mixers, dont use pulse audio. | 06:57 |
| Drained | and gogeta, yes it does. | 06:57 |
| mreverywhere | drained: yes i have, the video starts albiet kind of choppy but then it goes to a grey version of it and the video stops working | 06:57 |
| Drained | sometimes it installs the bare player without anything | 06:57 |
| sndv | Drained: I am not using pulse auido | 06:58 |
| sndv | Im using my sound card | 06:58 |
| sndv | mixer | 06:58 |
| gogeta | sndv: mplayer is better at online streaming from firefox | 06:58 |
| sndv | gogeta: that has nothing really to do with my problem | 06:58 |
| gogeta | sndv: you said no sound | 06:58 |
| sndv | my sound card is working correctly because ive tested it in the settings | 06:58 |
| redDEAD | how do i check my audio device location. /dev/xxxx | 06:59 |
| Cige | legend2440: yeah, actually the entire reason I am trying to get this drive to be detected is to back up a few things from the windows partition when I upgrade to 7RC | 06:59 |
| P1umb3r | sndv: it could be a problem with flash | 06:59 |
| Drained | Then it has to do with what you're trying to get to play? | 06:59 |
| sndv | I hear sound comnig out when i tested it, but when i play something or online it doesn't | 06:59 |
| P1umb3r | are you on youtube? | 06:59 |
| gogeta | sndv: i knoe the vlc firefox plugin is that great if it works at all | 06:59 |

| kandjar | where can I get kubuntu lts??? | 07:08 |
| gogeta | fosa: dd is the same as nortion ghost essently | 07:08 |
| Drained | my vlc did the same thing then i upgraded to 185 nvidia drivers and it dissapeared | 07:08 |
| mreverywhere | drained yes the proprietary ones its an ati hd 3100 card in a laptop and i got the drivers off of the website | 07:08 |
| cast | fosa: settings are merely stored in files, they both would replicate your settings, as would cp, dump/restore, et el | 07:08 |
| fosa | gogeta: cast: okay so i'm up for either one, which one is easier? | 07:09 |
| Drained | Damn, ATI, everyone seems to tell me they have problems with those cards on linux. | 07:09 |
| cast | gogeta: i have a feeling norton ghost might actually be smart. | 07:09 |
| mreverywhere | they are active and they work for everything but video | 07:09 |
| gogeta | lol | 07:09 |
| cast | fosa: one is way way faster, and imho the smarter way. | 07:09 |
| kandjar | forget my question :) ;p; | 07:09 |
| cast | fosa: it is also more flexible | 07:09 |
| Drained | mreverywhere have you tried playing the file with a diffrent program, does youtube go slow too? | 07:09 |
| mreverywhere | drained yep even tho they offer there own cards, i was reading a thing a while back and they mentioned that it seems that they have the issues built into them on purpose because of the way it happens or something like that | 07:09 |
| fosa | cast that wouldn't happen to be tar+mkfs would it? ;) | 07:09 |
| Drained | damn consumer market! | 07:10 |
| bribon | mreverywhere: for the second error: try growing cache | 07:10 |
| mreverywhere | drained youtube is choppy but tolerable, and totem completly froze the computer with any video i tried to play | 07:10 |
| mreverywhere | bribon how can i see what size my cache is? | 07:10 |
| Drained | Bah, then i think it's probably the graphics card Driver :\ | 07:10 |
| fosa | cast: i'll take your word for it, do you know of a good site tutorial for tar+mfks? | 07:11 |
| Drained | My nivida did the exact same thing until i installed 185 drivers. | 07:11 |
| blankthemuffin | is there a way to bootstrap a ubuntu install from a usb disk from a floppy disk | 07:11 |
| mreverywhere | i need that driver in order to run dual monitors | 07:11 |
| cast | fosa: perhaps a theoretical understanding would benefit you best. | 07:11 |
| Drained | Blankthemuffin yeah | 07:11 |
| bribon | mreverywhere: go to "open file..." -> thick "show more options" | 07:11 |
| Drained | try unetbootin | 07:11 |
| shadow98 | hey guys i have an ati x850 xt video card i installed envyng and then selected the ATI drivers and when i reboot it boots to ubuntu screen and locks pc with fuzzy looking ubuntu screen like a bad cable tv channel | 07:11 |

| Ky|e | How would you tell if you have the correct video driver's loaded in ubuntu? | 07:12 |
| mreverywhere | in vlc? | 07:12 |
| Drained | woah, shadow that's not the drivers... | 07:12 |
| Ky|e | Kinda gettin chugy | 07:12 |

| fosa | cast nice insight, i just got a new hd from newegg ^^ | 07:13 |
| gogeta | blankthemuffin: you need a boot floppy so you can start a usb boot | 07:13 |
| mreverywhere | could it be advanced open file? | 07:13 |
| bribon | mreverywhere: there's an option in "add file" menu | 07:13 |
| blankthemuffin | yeah but how is the question gogeta | 07:13 |
| Drained | blankthemuffin: what are you trying to do? | 07:13 |
| anom01y | I need the binary driver because I need tv-out to work | 07:13 |
| Joe1 | Hello | 07:13 |
| gogeta | blankthemuffin: itts not a issue they make em | 07:13 |
| blankthemuffin | boot from a usb disk on a device which does not support usb boot | 07:13 |
| shadow98 | Drained: what is it | 07:13 |
| bribon | mreverywhere: in spanish it's "show more options" and you can change cache size selecting it | 07:13 |
| fosa | cast: any tips on where i can learn how to mkfs? | 07:14 |
| Drained | shadow: sounds like a cable problem drivers would give you an X config error or something similar. | 07:14 |
| cast | fosa: my proposal is this: partition, mkfs on new drive. copy files over to new drive. | 07:14 |
| spO | restricted drivers, like ati drivers, cannot be installed on custom kernels unless the kernel has the same ABI as a stable kernel? I made a custom kernel for 2.6.30.4, but i don't think the driver will work with that new/updated kernel release | 07:14 |
| cast | fosa: mkfs is easy, mkfs.xfs /dev/sdXY | 07:14 |
| Drained | oooh blankthemuffin: idk then i never experimented with floppy' because my computer doesn' | 07:14 |
| Drained | have one lol | 07:14 |
| shadow98 | drained: it was working fine till i tried to install the right drivers..and im in recovery mode as well but need a fix | 07:14 |
| blankthemuffin | yeah I had to pull a drive out of the woodwork. Drained | 07:15 |
| fosa | cast: and i should be doing these partitions from an ubuntu live cd or is it completely irrelevant? does it matter how much activity i have going on while the mkfs is running? (such as editing files/music/normal os usage?) | 07:15 |
| bicareloaded | Hola..... | 07:15 |
| shadow98 | Drained: if i run envyng from command line and uninstall ati drivers it will boot and work fine..however videos run slow on the web and things just aren't right without correct drivers | 07:15 |
| Drained | blankthemuffin: i have like 20 of them, but im too lazy to even try to mount one on my pc >_> | 07:15 |

| Dr_Willis | zetheroo: click, drag to desktop, hold down alt key. (i think) | 07:26 |
| alaqsory | asalamu alikum, hi all | 07:26 |
| Dr_Willis | zetheroo: use the 'link here' menu item | 07:27 |
| zetheroo | Dr_Willis: ok but the links I make don't open the program ... | 07:27 |
| zetheroo | Dr_Willis: just opens the file in text editor | 07:28 |
| Drained | zetheroo: did you give it permission to make it Executable? | 07:28 |
| zetheroo | Drained: ah ... ok just did it now ... | 07:28 |
| Drained | :o | 07:28 |
| zetheroo | Drained: now when I double-click the link it asks what I want to do with it... and Run opens the program ... | 07:29 |
| zetheroo | Drained: is there a way to have it just open the program without asking every time? | 07:29 |
| Drained | Umm, Try adding sudo on the shortcut, i really don't know lol | 07:29 |
| sd32 | is the netbook remix flash drive a live distro or install only? | 07:29 |
| Drained | but it has to do with permissions :\ | 07:29 |
| Drained | sd32:i'm sure theres a text installer AND a live cd | 07:30 |
| Dr_Willis | zetheroo: the script is excecutable? and starts with #!/bin/bash or similer? | 07:30 |
| Drained | Anywho, im going to finish working on my sub sound system later guys | 07:31 |
| zetheroo | Dr_Willis: file is called BibleDesktop.sh | 07:31 |
| shadow98 | Drained: im uninstall ati drivers and rebooting going to try and follow steps... | 07:31 |
| alaqsory | I have a problem in Ubuntu and it is that when write ''virtualbox'' in terminal a message appear | 07:31 |
| shadow98 | Enable the accelerated ATI graphics driver in the 'Hardware Drivers' (System->Hardware drivers), then do: | 07:31 |
| zetheroo | Dr_Willis: and it opens ... but I have to tell it to "Run" every time ... | 07:31 |
| alaqsory | Could not find VirtualBox installation. Please reinstall. | 07:31 |
| shadow98 | it says to do that but im pretty sure the drivers are not in there | 07:31 |
| sd32 | Drained, so i can boot netbook remix like a live cd except from a flash drive? | 07:31 |
| zetheroo | Dr_Willis: is there an sh command I can use to open it ? | 07:32 |
| Dr_Willis | zetheroo: so it works.. :) but you get that security warning.. 'security' is a good thing. | 07:32 |
| Dr_Willis | zetheroo: check teh first line be sure it starts with #!/bin/sh or #!/bin/bash, other then that.. i leave that security warning there.. i think theres a way to turn it off.. buti never bother. | 07:32 |
| alaqsory | and when wrote "sudo apt-get --reinstall install virtualbox-ose" in terminal this appear | 07:32 |
| zetheroo | Dr_Willis: I use sh in the terminal to open it and it worked .... but that was while being in the same folder as the file | 07:32 |
| Drained | sd32: Well the livecd part is just a part of it's name, but if the iso supports it then flash drive can act as a "livecd" so to speak. | 07:32 |
| bribon | if you don't like security use a .desktop file zetheroo | 07:32 |
| Drained | Willis: turning it off is more of a bother then dealing with it lol. | 07:33 |
| Dr_Willis | zetheroo: you could make a script that cd's to the proper dir then runs the script - if you wanted to. | 07:33 |
| === kust0m_ is now known as kust0m | ||

| zetheroo | Dr_Willis: oh .. so I cannot direct sh directly to the file ? | 07:33 |
| Dr_Willis | zetheroo: you could.. but that would be the same as running it if its executable.. i dont see what you gain. | 07:34 |
| sd32 | Drained, but remix is from a .img file on a flash drive | 07:34 |
| Drained | sd32: then i dont think it will support a "livecd" | 07:34 |
| alaqsory | Could not find VirtualBox installation. Please reinstall. | 07:34 |
| Drained | maybe if you created a Usb jaunty bootable you could. | 07:35 |

| zetheroo | Dr_Willis: like this command doesn't work sh ./jsword-1.6/BibleDesktop.sh | 07:35 |

| zetheroo | Dr_Willis: but this does sh ./BibleDesktop.sh .... because I am in the folder | 07:36 |
| Dr_Willis | zetheroo: thats in improper path most likely... if the thing is executable you dont need the sh, '/path/to/whatever.sh' shuld work | 07:36 |
| Drained | Epalm, lol gimp does it.. | 07:36 |
| epalm | something like windows' paint | 07:36 |

| alaqsory | yes | 07:36 |

| alaqsory | virtualbox-ose | 07:36 |
| Drained | alaqsory ill check.. | 07:37 |
| epalm | Drained: indeed, thanks. i just need to figure out how, now | 07:37 |
| zetheroo | Dr_Willis: the benefit with the sh ./BibleDesktop command or method of execution is that I don't get asked to Run it ... | 07:37 |
| Faethin | Greetings | 07:37 |
| Drained | lol i know right, i never understood gimp but people are hella good with it. | 07:37 |
| Dr_Willis | zetheroo: if thats a big deal to ya.. go for it i guess.. | 07:37 |
| Drained | and Alaqsory, there's a ubuntu version of it.. are you on amd64 or i386? | 07:37 |

| alaqsory | i386 Drained | 07:38 |

| zetheroo | Dr_Willis: sh /jsword-1.6/BibleDesktop.sh ... that command does not work either | 07:38 |
| [daemon] | so for me is gimp | 07:38 |

| zetheroo | Dr_Willis: see the problem? ... when I am outside of the folder and trying to reach in with sh it no longer works ... | 07:39 |

| trung | hi | 08:04 |
| timClicks | hi all, I'm looking to creating a web & file server at home - can anyone point to a good howto? | 08:04 |
| Drained | timClicks have you tried LAMP? | 08:04 |
| === [GPL] is now known as GPL | ||
| timClicks | well, the software's pretty easy | 08:05 |
| Padhu | Drained: He need guidelines | 08:05 |
| timClicks | it's mainly configuring the hardward | 08:05 |
| timClicks | hardware, e.g. port forwarding from my laptop to the old tower I want to resurrect | 08:06 |
| timClicks | err | 08:06 |
| timClicks | from router to tower | 08:06 |
| crzedmonk | I can not get flash or youtube to work on my computer I am running ubuntu 8.04 I have installed flash still nothing I can hear the videos but they will not play the video. thank you | 08:06 |
| Drained | Well port forwarding is pretty simple, i dont think you'll have aproblem with that part | 08:06 |
| Drained | try this http://www.zaphu.com/2007/08/21/ubuntu-lamp-server-guide-configure-apache-mysql-and-cgi-bin/ | 08:06 |
| KB1JWQ | !flash | 08:06 |
| ubottu | To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 08:06 |
| timClicks | thanks Drained | 08:07 |
| Keiffer | Hello room. | 08:07 |
| Drained | crzedmonk: have you installed the non-free version from the package manager? | 08:07 |
| Drained | hope it helps any tim. | 08:07 |
| Keiffer | I came back with the same question as y-day. What folders do you think I should exclude when tar-backup-ing my system? | 08:07 |
| crzedmonk | yeah | 08:09 |
| descention | can anyone tell me if wubi is able to install backtrack 4? | 08:09 |
| Drained | this is ubuntu descention | 08:09 |
| kandjar | when you have a running app; how can you find how many thread/process this app is using?? | 08:09 |
| Drained | kandjar System monitor system>administration> | 08:10 |
| timClicks | !apache | 08:10 |
| ubottu | 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+) | 08:10 |
| crzedmonk | Drained: I can hear audi but no video I am usinf firefox 3 and ubuntu 8.04 | 08:10 |
| mattwj2002 | firefox 3.5 is buggy | 08:10 |
| mattwj2002 | :-s | 08:10 |
| Drained | have you got your graphics card driver installed? the latest one? | 08:10 |
| mattwj2002 | it was using 99% of my processor | 08:11 |
| descention | Drained: can you recommend a channel for wubi then? I highly doubt i'll get any help from remote-exploit (for backtrack) | 08:11 |
| mattwj2002 | :-s | 08:11 |
| alaqsory | Drained, the problem is solved | 08:11 |
| Drained | was it because the 2 versions? | 08:11 |
| kandjar | Drained: I see the running process; but how can I get the data about it? | 08:11 |
| Drained | "memory maps? | 08:11 |
| crzedmonk | mattwj2002: yeah it does that to mean just gobbles up processer | 08:11 |
| crzedmonk | you think a downgrade to 2.0 would fix? | 08:12 |
| supreme | hi | 08:12 |
| supreme | i have a pretty weird problem with network manager | 08:12 |
| Drained | Well im on 3.5 and only problem is scrolling WITH my mouse's scroll wheel :\ | 08:12 |
| supreme | i cannot activate the wireless interface | 08:12 |
| crzedmonk | hmm | 08:12 |
| crzedmonk | it is making me angry I need my flash | 08:12 |
| alaqsory | Drained, i wrote in the terminal "sudo apt-get autoremove virtualbox-ose" then "sudo dpkg -i <whatever the .deb name was>" and now it works | 08:12 |
| Drained | supreme, what do you mean? can you not select it or what? | 08:12 |
| Drained | oh, congrats alaqsory. | 08:12 |
| Keiffer | I want to tar backup my whole system. What folders do you think i should exclude? tmp, sys, var | 08:13 |
| alaqsory | thanks Drained | 08:13 |
| Drained | gl with ur VB :) | 08:13 |
| supreme | Drained, when i do right click the option "activate wireless" appeared gray and cannot use it | 08:13 |
| Drained | supreme, woah, weird o.o | 08:13 |
| soreau | Keiffer: Generally you only need to backup /home though /etc might have some info you want too | 08:14 |
| kandjar | Drained: mmm... | 08:14 |
| Keiffer | soreau, yes but i want to have all the files i need so i can copy them and have ubuntu w/o reinstalling | 08:14 |
| Drained | supreme i cant find anything on google about it being disabled, are you using ndiswrapper? | 08:14 |
| crzedmonk | I am going to see if a downgrade fixes it | 08:15 |
| supreme | Drained, yes, i really dont know what to do, since when i do left click in "wireless networks" it appear "the wireless network is deactivated" | 08:15 |
| Drained | try reinstalling ndisgtk | 08:15 |
| supreme | Drained, not, ubuntu recognized my wireless device automatically | 08:15 |
| Drained | oh. | 08:15 |
| Drained | hmm... try putting it in anathor port. | 08:15 |
| GPL | Drained: Ok, can you help me with setting up Pen tablet driver in Ubuntu , please ? | 08:16 |
| Drained | Pen tablet? lol i've never used one, so idk... | 08:16 |
| GPL | um, ok :( | 08:16 |
| supreme | Drained, i try with an usb wireless network adapter, it recognizes too but the same, cannot activate wireless network | 08:16 |
| Drained | hmmp... ill google wireless network disabled 1 sec | 08:16 |
| Drained | try sudo ifconfig | 08:17 |
| casa | che roba e '? | 08:18 |
| Drained | Also, do you have a diffrent Network enabled? it might be conflicting | 08:18 |
| supreme | Drained, i did ifconfig, it doesnt appear wlan0 (since is deactivated i think) , when i do iwconfig wlan0 appears | 08:19 |
| Drained | try iwconfig wlan0 start | 08:20 |
| amaurea | I am on a 64 bit computer, and am trying to compile a 32-bit only program, which has lots of dependencies. What is the right way to go about doing this? | 08:20 |
| Drained | GLP have you seen this ?? http://www.nuggy.net/?p=6 | 08:20 |
| Drained | GPL**: | 08:20 |
| soreau | amaurea: Which program? | 08:20 |
| cast | amaurea: i made vserver instances | 08:20 |
| amaurea | snes9x-rr | 08:21 |
| amaurea | cast: how does that work? | 08:21 |
| fosa | if i DD a a few gb of data to a new hd, should I be able to see it from gparted ? | 08:21 |
| GPL | Drained: No. but looking now | 08:21 |
| soreau | amaurea: The README file in the source should tell you which dependencies you need or you'll have to compile and read the output to figure out what you might need | 08:22 |
| sos | welp, didn't work | 08:22 |
| Drained | Damn :( | 08:22 |
| sos | i tried a couple different edits of the xorg.conf, but still no resolution choices | 08:22 |
| cast | amaurea: OS level virtualization, | 08:23 |
| Drained | Intel gpu chipset's are built onto the ubuntu kernel so idk why it wont let u get a higher resolution.. | 08:23 |
| sos | i tried adding the correct horizontal sync and vert refresh rates | 08:23 |
| soreau | sos: What does xrandr say? | 08:23 |
| amaurea | soreau: yes, I've tried that. but I didn't manage to find 32-bit compatibility versions of all of them in the package repository | 08:23 |
| amaurea | cast: so I would install a new OS in a virtualizer, and compile and use the program there? | 08:23 |
| soreau | amaurea: Not sure then | 08:24 |
| sos | not sure, dont know what that is | 08:24 |
| sos | just run that from terminal? | 08:24 |
| sd32 | cool i found out you can boot the netbook remix flash drive on ANY computer | 08:24 |
| Drained | yes sos. | 08:24 |
| cast | amaurea: yes. | 08:24 |
| Drained | lol yes sd32.... | 08:24 |
| cast | amaurea: some people do the same with a chroot, its the same as using a vserver more or less, but with weaker seperation | 08:24 |
| supreme | Drained, when i did "iwconfig wlan0 start" i got "unknown command 'start'", i think start is just for ifconfig | 08:25 |
| sos | where should i paste all of this? | 08:25 |
| yokobr | hey guys.. how does ubuntu works on ARM processors? I want to install on my smartphone the ubuntu mobile.. but i'm not sure that it will work | 08:25 |
| amaurea | cast: sounds a bit cumbersome, but I like emulation and virtualization, so I guess I'll give this a try :) | 08:25 |
| Drained | damn, i'm stumped, i've never heard of wireless not being editable.. | 08:25 |
| Drained | SOS www.pasetbin.ca | 08:25 |
| cast | amaurea: since its OS level its pretty much as fast as native, | 08:25 |
| Padhu_1 | Anybody point out ubuntu archive server in india and how to add it for ubuntu 8.10 | 08:26 |
| GPL | Drained: everyone there is talking about xorg.conf, that's confusing, i just want it to work with Inkscape software. | 08:26 |

| ubuntistas | how can i install firefox 2 on jaunty? | 08:26 |
| ubuntistas | any clue? | 08:26 |
| Drained | GPL: the problem is that manafacturer's don't always provide linux software so people port it to the best as they can, meaning you wont get full capabilities | 08:26 |
| supreme | Drained, ok, thank you for your time | 08:27 |

| soreau | Xodiac13: If the program is already offered by your package manager, definitely use that first | 08:36 |
| Xodiac13 | soreau: its easy | 08:36 |

| Drained | i installed Epiphany from package manager, but i can't run it, anyone know why? it didn't appear on my applications lists | 08:57 |
| koudelka_ | anyways, is there some rss client and twitter client that works nice with the ubuntu notification area? | 08:58 |
| Drained | ^cheeky, get a liveCD and or, Manually add ubuntu's parition to Grub | 08:58 |
| spO | If i make a custom kernel, such as kernel 2.6.30-4 , how do i install ATI drivers for that kernel? they are not working right for me | 08:58 |
| grawity | Drained: Alt-F2, epiphany-browser ? | 08:58 |
| Flannel | ^cheeky: Similar process. Install windows to a separate partition. The only change is you'll need to use an Ubuntu CD to rewrite GRUb (see ubottus link) | 08:58 |
| Flannel | !grub | ^cheeky | 08:58 |
| ubottu | ^cheeky: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 08:58 |
| Xodiac13 | soreau: doesnt work | 08:58 |

| soreau | Xodiac13: python ./unknown-horizons | 08:58 |

| yokobr | i've read that ubuntu would have ARM support | 09:07 |

| soreau | Xodiac13: Files are provided by packages. You have to figure out which package the file belongs to and install it if available | 09:08 |
| soreau | Xodiac13: Otherwise, you might have to install a source package in which apt-file also comes in handy | 09:08 |
| Xodiac13 | soreau: im screwed i can only find libboost 1.35 and i need the 1.38 | 09:08 |

| artillerytx | i could just stop it right and delete the package its building | 09:09 |
| soreau | Xodiac13: Even on 9.04 the latest version ubuntu provides is libboost-filesystem1.37.0 so you would need to find and compile 1.38.0 or get the package from the repo to work | 09:10 |
| Xodiac13 | soreau: dangit | 09:10 |

| naftilos76 | hi everyone , a simple question. this is my first time trying to compile a 'hello world' app with gcc. supposing that i do : gcc test.c what do i have to type to run the app. i am in ~ directory! | 09:35 |
| joaopinto | Polarina, file a bug report on launchpad | 09:36 |
| grawity | Polarina: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ would be the best place. | 09:36 |
| lobf | hey | 09:36 |

| tsimpson | yes | 09:56 |
| gogeta | fosa1: yes | 09:57 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Dr_Willis, i actually set it up through .xinirc and slim just picks it up i would say it doesnt have to do with the login manager but icewm itself it is not the first time it does this | 09:57 |

| RenatoSilva | also, should I self-sign it??? | 09:58 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Dr_Willis, how do i find out and solve this problem it would be quite helpful once icewm starts for it to read the startup script | 09:59 |
| gogeta | fosa1: pause | 09:59 |
| grawity | RenatoSilva: PGP keys are always self-signed. | 09:59 |
| Cige | ok, so I basically have a DOUBLE reversal | 09:59 |
| gauravsrf | is there any way to have webcam chat in linux easily | 09:59 |
| RenatoSilva | grawity: so why does it allow you to sign it? I jus did | 09:59 |
| gogeta | gauravsrf: skype has wecam support | 09:59 |
| RenatoSilva | grawity: it's non-sense to allow you to sign it again | 10:00 |
| fosa1 | gogeta: is that dangerous if theprocess running is a DD ? | 10:00 |
| Dr_Willis | Pirate_Hunter: icewm i think has some sort of auto-start script/feature. ive not used slim much. so you may have to see its configs to see exactly what its doing. | 10:00 |
| grawity | RenatoSilva: I don't know. | 10:00 |
| gauravsrf | i am noty able to install skype and gayachi also not working properly with cam | 10:00 |

| Cige | I just put windows 7 RC1 on my ubuntu laptop, everything went as expected, windows stayed in the partition I made for it, and when I put in the live CD and restored grup ubuntu came right back up | 10:00 |
| RenatoSilva | grawity: PGP keys ==> you mean the public part, sort of a certificate, right? | 10:00 |
| gogeta | fosa1: you can set it to do nothing on close if you like | 10:00 |
| Dr_Willis | Pirate_Hunter: its very likely that slim is not launching .xinitrc OR it may have a specific 'session' you can select to make it launch .xinitrc instead of the 'icewm.desktop' session | 10:01 |
| Cige | the only problem: I can't find windows in grub | 10:01 |
| fosa1 | gogeta: so i should just restart that whole process...? (i closed it a couple times not sure what it was doing) | 10:01 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Dr_Willis, ok will search on slim will have to mess with it soon since i dont like the current theme | 10:01 |
| Cige | so yeah, how do I put windows back into the grub boot | 10:01 |
| RenatoSilva | grawity: it seems that the second sign simply does not work | 10:01 |
| gogeta | fosa1: well if its still running with no error it should go fine | 10:01 |
| Dr_Willis | Cige: theres an example entry near the top of the menu.lst file to boot windows on the first hard drive. | 10:02 |
| Cige | ok | 10:02 |
| RenatoSilva | what's the .asc file? | 10:02 |
| fosa1 | gogeta: oh im looking at the power options, all its set to is to make the screen blank when the lid isclosed | 10:02 |
| lstarnes | RenatoSilva: that may be the key | 10:02 |
| fosa1 | gogeta: where doesit sayit should go to standby? | 10:02 |

| gogeta | fosa1: oh just screen off | 10:03 |
| nAgoHaK | howto to print something on a transfer paper ? | 10:03 |
| Dr_Willis | Cige: thats where menu.lst is at. | 10:03 |
| RenatoSilva | lstarnes: pub or priv key? | 10:03 |
| lstarnes | RenatoSilva: .asc files are usually ASCII-armored PGP data, which may inclide things like keys and signed or encrypted text | 10:03 |
| gogeta | fosa1: yea no issue there | 10:03 |
| Flannel | Pirate_Hunter: sudo touch /forcefsck, or there's an argument to shutdown, I believe. | 10:03 |
| lstarnes | RenatoSilva: check the file | 10:03 |
| Cige | Dr_Willis: ok, thanks! | 10:03 |
| fosa1 | gogeta: whew, so the process is fine andi can close the lid and go to bed? | 10:03 |
| fosa1 | gogeta: sweeetg! | 10:03 |
| RenatoSilva | lstarnes: I want to store my priv key in other place, how? | 10:03 |
| RenatoSilva | lstarnes: on an ntfs partition | 10:04 |
| gogeta | fosa1: i swould set the other settings to always on for now | 10:04 |
| grawity | RenatoSilva: ~/.gnupg | 10:04 |
| RenatoSilva | lstarnes: I can store putty SSH keys anywhere I want | 10:04 |
| fosa1 | gogeta: yeah never sleep, blank screen, anything else? | 10:04 |
| RenatoSilva | grawity: maybe the only way is to ln -s ./gnupg, grrr!!! | 10:04 |
| gogeta | fosa1: sounds good | 10:04 |
| lstarnes | RenatoSilva: gpg -a --output key.asc --export-secret-keys | 10:04 |
| lstarnes | RenatoSilva: that will export the secret keys to a file | 10:05 |
| Flannel | RenatoSilva: No, you can give gpg an argument on where to get your keyring from. | 10:05 |
| grawity | RenatoSilva: Actually, that's what I did - my ~/.gnupg is symlinked to /media/grawusb/gnupg (which is a NTFS pendrive). | 10:05 |
| grawity | Flannel: Symlink is most reliable though. | 10:05 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Flannel, hmm no i just want to force it to check the disk and correct errors on next boot would that command work | 10:05 |
| Flannel | Pirate_Hunter: yeah | 10:05 |
| RenatoSilva | grawity: I can store putty SSH keys anywhere I want. Putting it always in ~/.gnupg is like putting your .odt files always in the same dir, instead of letting you to choose a dir (usual) | 10:06 |
| Flannel | RenatoSilva: gpg handles where your secret key is put... your keystuff all goes though gpg anyway. | 10:06 |
| RenatoSilva | Flannel: I'm using seahorse, the gui for it | 10:06 |
| Flannel | RenatoSilva: Yes, it still all goes through gpg | 10:07 |

| s3r3n1t7 | RenatoSilva: it even blew a cooldown in WoW, so yes it's literal as if i'm typin the 4 | 10:28 |
| curt | anybody know of a good program that I can use to record from an integrated webcamera? | 10:28 |
| RenatoSilva | s3r3n1t7: the problem is that it is random right, frequency is minutes, or even hours | 10:28 |
| RenatoSilva | s3r3n1t7: would it be a virus in linux? hehehehe | 10:28 |
| s3r3n1t7 | RenatoSilva: varies between minutes and hours, without anything related that I can see | 10:28 |
| Cige | what I currently have in GRUB for my windows boot is "title Windows 7 root (hd0,2) makeactive chainloader +1, is this correct? | 10:29 |
| s3r3n1t7 | RenatoSilva: it's a relative fresh install, it has wine, exaile, vlc, vim and codecs installed. Next to that, default installation. | 10:29 |
| curt | Cige: that depends on which partition Windows 7 is in, as well as on a few other things | 10:29 |
| amaurea | Hello, I am trying to set up a 32bit chroot by following http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=24575. However, I'm stuck at the last part of step 1 there, which is to do dpkg-reconfigure locales in the chroot, saying it can't set the locale to en_US.UTF-8. This isn't supposed to happen, right? | 10:30 |
| NineTeen67Comet | Haya; I've just upgraded my father-in-law's box to Jaunty. I would like to get an X session (via ssh) to setup his printer, desktop sharing and make his desktop look like it did with Edgy (same icon locations etc) .. I get "Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:" no matter what I try to open. help? | 10:30 |
| RenatoSilva | s3r3n1t7: do a binary search, run only a minimum set of programs, then check. Then run a half of the killed ones, and so forth. () | 10:30 |
| Cige | I think it is in partition 3, is there a command to check that? | 10:30 |
| RenatoSilva | s3r3n1t7: vlc is a virus :D | 10:30 |
| s3r3n1t7 | RenatoSilva: a search for what? | 10:30 |
| RenatoSilva | s3r3n1t7: exaile? | 10:30 |
| Cige | curt: I think it is in the 3rd one, but I am not sure | 10:30 |
| s3r3n1t7 | RenatoSilva: gnome version of amarok | 10:30 |
| geirha | Cige: sudo fdisk -l | 10:30 |
| NineTeen67Comet | I'm loging into his box via ssh: ssh -X -C peter@ip.add.ress | 10:30 |
| curt | Cige, there is a GUI partitioner included in the System, administration section, use that to check | 10:30 |
| RenatoSilva | s3r3n1t7: for the process doig that | 10:30 |
| Cige | curt: ok | 10:31 |
| RenatoSilva | s3r3n1t7: you know binary search, right? | 10:31 |
| s3r3n1t7 | RenatoSilva: eeh, i have no idea how to search for that | 10:31 |
| RenatoSilva | s3r3n1t7: run just a minimum set of programs | 10:31 |
| RenatoSilva | s3r3n1t7: kill as many process as you can | 10:31 |
| RenatoSilva | s3r3n1t7: so check if it continues | 10:31 |
| curt | So nobody knows of a good program I can use to record video with an integrated webcam? | 10:31 |
| NineTeen67Comet | curt: have you tried cheese? (sudo aptitude install cheese) .. it's light weight, but it's okay .. | 10:32 |
| karamella | HI | 10:33 |
| RenatoSilva | s3r3n1t7: if so, then it was none of the process you have killed, if not (the 4 stops) then it was one of the killed process --> then now you start again, but killiing only half of them, and so forth... | 10:33 |
| Cige | curt: I don't see the GUI one, although I think I know what you're talking about | 10:33 |
| curt | NineTeen67Comet: Thanks, all I needed was a simple one to make youtube videos. | 10:33 |
| karamella | بقهىيس | 10:33 |
| karamella | frinds | 10:33 |
| s3r3n1t7 | RenatoSilva: that's goin to take ages ... but yeah, guess i could try that | 10:33 |
| curt | karamella, while I do speak Arabic, I unfortunately do not read it... | 10:33 |
| s3r3n1t7 | RenatoSilva: correct me if i'm wrong, but if i reboot into recovery mode only the absolute min amount of programs is run right? | 10:33 |
| geirha | Cige: gparted is not installed by default, though it is available on the liveCD. The alternative is to type sudo fdisk -l in a terminal | 10:33 |
| NineTeen67Comet | It'll make little videos then you can use something else to format them .. ffmpeg/transoder/mencoder .. you'll have to google after that, I suck at formating vid .. | 10:33 |
| techie | love karamella | 10:33 |
| curt | worse yet that looks to be stylized Arabic, which is even MORE difficult to read | 10:34 |
| matthew_ | hey, does anyone know of a 'complete' list of audio codecs that i could download in one hit? I'm using amarok media player and have already downloaded the 'ubuntu-restricted-extras' package, which works for the most part but it still won't play some wma files they play fine in foobar in windows? is it a licence issue? any help would be appreciated | 10:34 |
| RenatoSilva | s3r3n1t7: recovery mode is console, you may want to try it | 10:34 |
| s3r3n1t7 | RenatoSilva: aye, but i want to go for the absolute minimum first. I'll give it a go, thanks for the help man | 10:34 |
| RenatoSilva | s3r3n1t7: it will tell you whether it is a gui or non-gui stuff | 10:34 |
| perturbed | lala | 10:34 |
| RenatoSilva | s3r3n1t7: np | 10:35 |
| Cige | I think I found the problem regardless, /dev/sda2 is NTFS as well, but smaller than /dev/sda3, which is larger | 10:35 |
| RenatoSilva | s3r3n1t7: I'm curious now | 10:35 |
| RenatoSilva | s3r3n1t7: when it started to happen? | 10:35 |
| geirha | Cige: Mount them and see which is which | 10:35 |
| s3r3n1t7 | RenatoSilva: i can understand .. but it's annoyinv as a gamer | 10:35 |
| s3r3n1t7 | RenatoSilva: as soon as i installed it | 10:35 |
| Cige | geirha: ok | 10:35 |
| curt | out of curiosity what is the difference between apt-get, and aptitude? | 10:36 |
| RenatoSilva | s3r3n1t7: have you installed ubuntu before and it worked? if so, what was the diff between them? | 10:36 |
| geirha | curt: Just two different frontends to apt. apt-get is command-line only, while aptitude also has a curses interface | 10:36 |
| RenatoSilva | aptitude is abandoned right? | 10:37 |
| curt | geirha: thanks, I've been wondering that one for a very long while indeed | 10:37 |
| curt | I believe it's the apt-get actually that's less used nowadays | 10:37 |
| karamella | i have problem | 10:37 |
| curt | or rather it'smore frequently used but apparently less versatile | 10:37 |
| karamella | can any one help me | 10:37 |
| RenatoSilva | karamella: maybe, maybe not. | 10:37 |
| s3r3n1t7 | RenatoSilva: yeah have done, was 9.04.1, this time i think it was 9.04.3 | 10:37 |
| Cige | ok, looks like /dev/sda2 (hd0,2) was it. windows is booting. Thanks a ton! this server has helped me twice today | 10:37 |
| geirha | Cige: /dev/sda2 == (hd0,1) | 10:38 |
| RenatoSilva | s3r3n1t7: and the same additional stuff (vlc etc)? | 10:38 |
| Cige | geirha: that's what I meant | 10:38 |
| RenatoSilva | s3r3n1t7: try the recovery mode, and try removing your additional stuff | 10:38 |
| s3r3n1t7 | RenatoSilva: it started straight after installation | 10:38 |
| s3r3n1t7 | RenatoSilva: before installing software | 10:38 |
| RenatoSilva | s3r3n1t7: seems unlikely, but I'd guess it's a low level software, like keyboard driver | 10:39 |
| RenatoSilva | s3r3n1t7: oh... | 10:39 |
| s3r3n1t7 | RenatoSilva: but that would mean that if i disconnect my keyboard it would stop. | 10:39 |
| RenatoSilva | s3r3n1t7: the driver would be running still | 10:40 |
| RenatoSilva | s3r3n1t7: you may want to open a bug in http://launchpad.net | 10:40 |
| s3r3n1t7 | RenatoSilva: i'll see if i can find out if it still happens in recovery mode. | 10:40 |
| RenatoSilva | s3r3n1t7: ok, hope to find you later, I'm curious hehehe | 10:41 |
| RenatoSilva | s3r3n1t7: gotta sleep now hehehhe | 10:41 |
| fanec75m | hello everybody | 10:41 |
| s3r3n1t7 | RenatoSilva: we'll see each other soon then. Sleep tight and untill soon. | 10:41 |
| craigtao | hello | 10:41 |
| iceroot | is /dev/sda always the hdd (if only one is insert) because the default grub-option hd(0,1) is giving error 21, so im am using /dev/sda n one computer but i want to place the hdd in another computer later | 10:41 |
| fanec75m | need help to install "046d:08f6 Logitech, Inc. Quickcam Messenger Plus" ubuntu 9 | 10:43 |
| craigtao | how to update my gnome to 2.26 and I at Ubuntu 8 LTS version ? | 10:44 |
| craigtao | apt-get can do it ? | 10:44 |
| Dr_Willis | iceroot: using sata or ide drives? you can have a system with no sda. but a sdb instead. use 'sudo fdisk -l' to see what drives are what normally | 10:44 |
| ikonia | craigtao: ubuntu will offer gnome updates when they are available for your release. | 10:45 |
| craigtao | Om ... offer | 10:45 |
| iceroot | Dr_Willis: its ide (sata and raid are disabled in the bios) other pc is also only using ide | 10:45 |
| ikonia | craigtao: yes, through update manager | 10:45 |
| Dr_Willis | iceroot: if its on teh master, on the first ide 'port' then it should be sda | 10:46 |
| craigtao | thanks iKonia | 10:46 |
| iceroot | Dr_Willis: yes, it will be both master on the two pcs, just one ide-hdd | 10:46 |
| iceroot | Dr_Willis: if the hdd is not master but cable-select. this can be a reason for error 21 with hd(0,1)? | 10:47 |
| Dr_Willis | iceroot: if its on the master port on the cable.. it shoudl be master | 10:47 |
| Dr_Willis | iceroot: theres commands in the grub 'shell' that can tell you what hd## it is. | 10:48 |
| iceroot | Dr_Willis: yes, cable select and on the master port (end of cabloe) | 10:48 |
| iceroot | Dr_Willis: ok i will have a look if system is up again | 10:48 |
| Guest65287 | Dr_Willis: u recon u can help me with some of my kernels not booting? I have logs :D | 10:49 |
| Dr_Willis | Guest65287: proberly not.. i havent messed with the kernel in years.. The Joy of ubuntu! | 10:50 |
| Guest65287 | Hey can someone help me out, whenever i boot an update my screen just crashes! i recorded all the logs so if anyone could help me figure out whats wrong? I thinks it xorg, because when i did a dpkg-reconfigure my only working kernel also crashed so i replaced it w. the backup. So i can boot this now but not the new version | 10:51 |
| fning | ? | 10:55 |
| fning | hi | 10:55 |

| undifined_ | omg i get a moulin rouge vision | 10:57 |

| sjoerd | which /window 21 | 10:59 |
| wave | upgrading to 9.04 my /usr/X11R6/lib/ is just gone. where is it? | 10:59 |
| curt | You know I absolutely despise having to boot into windows but it seems like you don't have a choice sometimes as far as hardware compatibility goes | 10:59 |
| diddy | Does anybody know this Firefox extension? https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4429 It doesn't seem to work with Firefox 3.5.2. Could anybody please confirm? | 10:59 |

| GPL | please HELP [puppy dog eyes] | 11:00 |
| neoinmatrix31 | can someone help in installation of hp laser jet p1008 printer in ubuntu 9.04 | 11:00 |
| curt | undifined_: my webcamera, it's built into the laptop. I just downloaded cheese, at the suggestion of somebody else to capture video, but it horrendously laggy, so there's no way it will work for youtube | 11:01 |
| curt | Works with Firefox: 1.5 – 3.6a1pre | 11:01 |
| Dr_Willis | neoinmatrix31: tell the channel what you have done so far to 'install' it. | 11:01 |
| fosser_josh2 | hi | 11:01 |
| Dr_Willis | neoinmatrix31: also its often a good idea to check cups.org to see how well supported different printers are. | 11:01 |
| diddy | curt: I read that, too but it doesn't. | 11:01 |
| neoinmatrix31 | i just plugged it to my laptop | 11:01 |
| curt | yeah diddy, hate to be that guy, but that SHOULD work with everything they have out right now, so I don't know what's wrong. | 11:02 |
| neoinmatrix31 | the problem is peculiar | 11:02 |
| Dr_Willis | neoinmatrix31: thats all i do for my printers.. and check the system -> admin -> printers config.. :) and they work with no hassle.. i was amazed. heh.. | 11:02 |
| Dr_Willis | neoinmatrix31: so now we get down to the actual problem. :) | 11:02 |
| fosser_josh2 | proxy server connection refused when i tried to connect my machine with ubuntu 9.04 with my labs serever | 11:02 |
| neoinmatrix31 | if i print something from vista and then restart to ubuntu then it does print | 11:02 |
| curt | I mean they say they even have it running with the latest beta, so I don't know what to tell you. My suggestion would be to try installing it with the earlier version that came with your ubuntu distro, and see if it works on that | 11:03 |
| neoinmatrix31 | otherwise not | 11:03 |
| kraut | moin | 11:03 |
| neoinmatrix31 | any suggestion dr willis | 11:04 |
| curt | On a slightly random note: Does having more than one OS on my computer make it easier for disk corruption to take place? Because I have five and it seems to happen to me a lot, and I guaran god damned tee you it isn't because of a virus | 11:04 |
| undifined_ | fosser_josh2: you probably need to login to the proxy before you can connect, did you ask IT for that info ? | 11:05 |
| s3r3n1t7 | !language | curt | 11:05 |
| ubottu | curt: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 11:05 |
| Dr_Willis | neoinmatrix31: so windows is sending some sort of intiilzation/power up code to get it going it seems? | 11:05 |
| curt | s3r3n1t7: my humblest apologies :/ | 11:05 |
| Dr_Willis | neoinmatrix31: id have to say check the cups.org site/forums for the exact printer.. and the ubuntu forums.. sounds like a quirky bug to me. | 11:05 |
| ikonia | curt: disk reads/writes are read/writes in any OS, so no | 11:05 |
| neoinmatrix31 | checked. reinstalled hplip. no favorable result. checked cups | 11:06 |
| neoinmatrix31 | no solution | 11:06 |
| neoinmatrix31 | on launchpad this seems to be quite a pending problem | 11:07 |
| curt | ikonia: Thanks, my father (who is an 62 year old mane with only the most rudimentary computer skills) continues to try and convince me daily that the Ubuntu GRUB bootloader is corrupting Windows. Trying to tell him Windows is crap dosn't seem to work either. | 11:07 |
| Dr_Willis | neoinmatrix31: ahh.. so it is a known issue. Bummer. | 11:07 |
| ikonia | curt: just ignore it, let people use what they want to use | 11:07 |
| neoinmatrix31 | but unsolved for long... | 11:07 |
| curt | righto, well I am going to install the Ubuntu 9.10 right now so I'll talk to you guys later :) | 11:08 |
| Dr_Willis | curt: grub should nothing to do with the rest of the drive - and hard drives are the weakest link in PC hardware. :) | 11:08 |
| undifined_ | fosser_josh2: if it is browser based in firefox: edit -> prefs -> advanc -> network -> settings | 11:08 |
| neoinmatrix31 | do you guess if any thing can be done...what sort of initialization would windows be sending to printer, which ubuntu can't | 11:08 |
| GPL | no help for me :( okay, everyone type /ignore GPL | 11:08 |
| ikonia | neoinmatrix31: driver compatability | 11:09 |
| Dr_Willis | neoinmatrix31: No idea. printeres these days are so complex its scary | 11:09 |
| Dr_Willis | GPL: not seen you say anything in my recent history buffer... so guess not. :) | 11:09 |
| ikonia | GPL: people will help when they can, self pity gets you no-where | 11:09 |
| Dr_Willis | GPL: dont expect everyone to know about obscure hardware.. the forums are the best for that. | 11:09 |
| GPL | ikonia: that reminds of me speaking that line to someone else. | 11:09 |
| fosser_josh2 | undifined_: i tired wi-fi with same server | 11:10 |
| fosser_josh2 | undifined_: & its working | 11:10 |
| Dr_Willis | GPL: also checkother disrto forums and wiki pages.. The GENTOO and ARCH linux docs.. are often VERY VERY well done for 'weird' hardware | 11:10 |
| neoinmatrix31 | <ikonia> so can't the driver required be installed for ubuntu. why is the problem lurking for long with the ubuntu | 11:10 |
| fosser_josh2 | undifined_: but when i tried with it ethernet this is the problem | 11:10 |
| undifined_ | fosser_josh2: because wifi networks go around the physical one | 11:10 |
| GPL | Dr_Willis: what's defined as "weird" hardwaer in Ubuntu's dictionary | 11:11 |
| fosser_josh2 | undifined_: but with same server issue is with ethernet not with wi-fi | 11:11 |
| Dr_Willis | GPL: i imagine tablet-pens that no one else int he channel seem to have heard of count. :) | 11:11 |
| fosser_josh2 | undifined_: i entered all the details ip,dns,netmask, & in firefox proxy setting | 11:12 |
| Dr_Willis | My Wacom took a little tweaking and its rather common. | 11:12 |
| fosser_josh2 | undifined_: still issue is not solved | 11:12 |
| GPL | Dr_Willis: using Tablet WP5540U which is found in the context of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TabletSetupWizardpen | 11:12 |
| hesham | Hello evryone...am new to ubuntu and i would like someone to help me with the tar.gz files how to install them? | 11:13 |
| fosser_josh2 | undifined_: hey so wat is the exact problem | 11:13 |
| Dr_Willis | GPL: means very little to me - if theres a help/wiki page on it.. it knows more then what i do. | 11:14 |
| fosser_josh2 | undifined_: wat to do | 11:14 |
| neoinmatrix31 | hi can some one help me get my hp laserjet p1008 working in ubuntu | 11:14 |
| undifined_ | well, your IT people have set up some proxy for comm | 11:14 |
| undifined_ | so you need their info to set it up | 11:14 |
| GPL | hesham: use tar -xvf filename.tar.gz | to extract it , then do ./configure to check for dependencies, then do sudo make && make install | 11:14 |
| GPL | hesham : make sure you enter the directory after extracting it. | 11:15 |
| undifined_ | can i msg you fosser_josh2 ? | 11:15 |
| fosser_josh2 | undifined_: yah sure | 11:15 |
| neoinmatrix31 | hp laser jet p1007, p1008 installation has been lurking on launchpad for long | 11:16 |
| Brazz | Hello there, I have been trying a lot of config and a lot of different drivers for my old ati card. But nothing has worked good enough to make it possible for me to play any game at all | 11:16 |
| Brazz | all is pretty slow, have anyone any possible solutions for my issue' | 11:17 |
| hesham | ok this is what i always get when trying to unzip it | 11:17 |
| hesham | nicotine+-1.2.12.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory | 11:17 |
| hesham | tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now | 11:17 |
| Dr_Willis | ATI has dropped support for many old cards from the FGLRX drivers Brazz - so they now use the ati GPL drivers.. if you must use the fglrx drivers you may want to downgrade to a earlier release.. | 11:17 |
| hesham | ican unzip it by rightclicking unzip...never works with commands tho | 11:18 |
| Dr_Willis | hesham: whats the exact commadn you are using to uncompress it? I tend to use 'unp' "sudo apt-get install unp' then 'unp archivename.whatever' | 11:18 |
| Brazz | so that means that I'll have to stick to ubuntu 8.10 forever now then? | 11:18 |
| Brazz | Dr_Willis: so that means I'll have to stick to ubuntu 8.10 forever then? | 11:18 |
| Dr_Willis | Brazz: unless they get better support in the ati/radeon/whatever its called drivers.. | 11:18 |
| hesham | i used tar -xzf nicotine+-1.2.12.tar.gz | 11:19 |
| Dr_Willis | Brazz: one of the many reasons i dont use ati any more. | 11:19 |
| Brazz | Dr_Willis: well I've heard that 9.10 is coming with improvement for ati old drivers have you heard anything about it? | 11:19 |
| Dr_Willis | Brazz: nope. I dont keep with ATI any more. | 11:19 |
| Brazz | Dr_Willis: alight thank you. | 11:20 |
| ubuntistas | why empathy voice and video call doesn't work? | 11:20 |
| ubuntistas | any clue? | 11:20 |
| Dr_Willis | hesham: perhaps quote the file name the -+ may be goofing it up.. or use tab completion to get the name right. | 11:20 |
| Dr_Willis | hesham: or try the unp command. | 11:20 |

| Padhu_1 | what is the solution? | 11:21 |
| Brazz | Dr_Willis: so, if I want to do some gaming without upgrading my videocard I should either use 8.10 or go back to windows? | 11:21 |
| Dr_Willis | Brazz: or wait for the next release.. or check the forums to perhaps find othe rways to use the fglrx drivers/downgrade X.. | 11:22 |
| Brazz | Dr_Willis: www.ubuntuforums.org? | 11:22 |
| ubuntistas | any clue how to make work the empathy voice and video call? | 11:22 |

| xKintaro | i just said it works fine under VMware | 11:27 |
| Dr_Willis | and that proves very little to me... | 11:27 |
| xKintaro | same drive, same disk | 11:27 |
| Dr_Willis | its booting the boot record from teh cd.. vmware may done somthing different | 11:28 |
| xKintaro | i dont think so | 11:28 |
| xKintaro | the menu loads on VMware, you pick an option, it boots the kernel | 11:29 |
| Dr_Willis | use vmware to verify the crc perhaps.. :) | 11:29 |
| xKintaro | however just straight on my PC it doesnt load the CD before I get the error after picking an option | 11:29 |
| xKintaro | ive done an MD5 of the CD and the image i downloaded | 11:30 |
| xKintaro | and the windows installer seems to have worked fine, im about to test that install | 11:30 |
| Dr_Willis | I dont even burn disks any more. I use flash drives and unetbootin. You may want to try that. | 11:30 |
| xKintaro | Yeah that is what I'm thinking, where should I start? | 11:30 |
| xKintaro | with flash drives | 11:31 |
| syntax | what does unetbootin do? | 11:31 |
| xKintaro | the isolinux menu might not like my raid or something, is the best i can think | 11:31 |
| xKintaro | netboot isn't really an option here because the DHCP server is win2k3 and already does windows netbooting, and thats out of my control | 11:32 |
| xKintaro | unless some genius has a way of tricking the win2k3 server into thinking an install image is a windows version when its really ubuntu | 11:33 |

| nbohaychuk | I got my Acer Aspire One WiFi led light to work with a linux backport :) | 11:35 |
| Tohsh | this certain folder is 777 | 11:35 |
| strrevf | hi, i have a question. my packages from Synaptic are very old .. between one - few months. How can i fix this problem ? | 11:35 |
| === LeMoNiCe is now known as h32lg | ||
| nbohaychuk | and I updated firefox to 3.5.2 | 11:35 |
| nbohaychuk | :) | 11:35 |
| Tohsh | xKintaro: Wouldn't 777 let me r/w? | 11:36 |
| Dr_Willis | xKintaro: actually using windows, or vmware would try to read the disk several times.. booting from it may have a much quicker 'it fails to read' setting.... | 11:36 |
| maxflax | Trying to reinstall a app and I get this error - pooping it all .. polkit-auth: AuthorizationAlreadyExists: An authorization for uid 1001 for the action org.freedesktop.hal.power-management.shutdown with constraint '' already exists | 11:37 |
| xKintaro | VMware boots from it | 11:37 |
| xKintaro | I'm guessing you're not really familiar with it | 11:37 |
| xKintaro | VMware boots just like a normal PC | 11:37 |
| Dr_Willis | xKintaro: vmware uses the host os to read the disk.. i use virtualbox all the time.. it may be tryign just enough times to get a good read.. but do what you want.. good luck. | 11:38 |
| xKintaro | got any pointers on booting from a thumb drive? | 11:38 |
| xKintaro | a link maybe | 11:38 |
| Tohsh | what would be the chmod flag to set read/write to all subfolders in a particular folder? | 11:38 |
| Dr_Willis | xKintaro: use unetbootin to make a bootable flash drive. Its avail for windows and linux. | 11:38 |
| Dr_Willis | takes about 5 min for unetbootin to make a bootable flash drive from a iso image. | 11:38 |
| Dr_Willis | and it will install about 3x as fast as a cdrom drive/boot/install does. :) | 11:39 |

| dboehmer | can somebody confirm that or give any hints how to solve the problem? | 11:55 |

| Dr_Willis | Brazz: it helps that i dont have a life.. :) | 11:56 |
| Dr_Willis | solotim: not sure what youa re doing. but you can have a 'filesystem' in a file. and mount it via the loop feature of mount. | 11:57 |
| Dr_Willis | solotim: a good place to 'hide' things. :) | 11:57 |
| solotim | hi, willis, is this kind of file writable? I mean when it is mounted, can I write stuff to it? | 11:58 |
| solotim | ISO can't be writable afa | 11:58 |
| Dr_Willis | solotim: yes it can. | 11:58 |
| Dr_Willis | an iso cant.. thats how iso's are. :) | 11:58 |
| solotim | oh , what is the keyword should I search for this? | 11:58 |

| lstarnes | strrev: the page for the PPA should have a link to its key or instructions for installing it | 12:01 |

| Wesselaar | shredder12: i had the same problem, because the site where it get the flash plugin was offline | 12:03 |
| Dr_Willis | i thinkis the proper command from what i just read.. Its a little quirky you just use the last part of that # they show. | 12:03 |
| Wesselaar | shredder12: try in terminal: apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree and you see it | 12:03 |

| shredder12 | Wesselaar: it says that flashplugin-nonfree is already installed | 12:04 |

| shredder12 | Wesselaar: what script? | 12:06 |
| shredder12 | Wesselaar: alright | 12:06 |

| linxeh | Gromph: if you are competent, you could dismantle your laptop and have a look. I had problems with an old laptop that were similar (ports stopped working, dvd stopped) and it turned out a ribbon cable had worked loose inside the case | 12:43 |
| MilhousePunkRock | Pirate_Hunter: I dont think you have to make it executable, but werent you asking for a way how to do it anyway? | 12:44 |
| Pirate_Hunter | MilhousePunkRock, nope just if i had to make it executable if i dont than that expains why it aint working | 12:45 |
| Pirate_Hunter | MilhousePunkRock, could explain why it...* | 12:45 |
| MilhousePunkRock | Pirate_Hunter: I think the file is only being read, not executed itself... | 12:45 |
| Pirate_Hunter | MilhousePunkRock, awww ok will log out and see if it will read the session | 12:46 |

| MilhousePunkRock | Is there a way to have sensors display its output continuously, e.g. not falling back to the prompt but display the realtime values? | 12:48 |
| hatake_kakashi | use synaptic? | 12:48 |
| hatake_kakashi | MilhousePunkRock, sensord? | 12:48 |
| MilhousePunkRock | Total_Oblivion: sudo apt-get install vlc | 12:48 |
| Total_Oblivion | is it possible to add windows fonts to ubuntu? | 12:50 |
| linxeh | yup | 12:50 |
| Total_Oblivion | fonts as in letter fonts for subtitles for instance | 12:50 |
| MilhousePunkRock | hatake_kakashi: That looks promising... Can you briefly guide me through setting up the logging? | 12:50 |
| MilhousePunkRock | ubottu: !fonts | 12:51 |
| ubottu | Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer | 12:51 |
| hatake_kakashi | MilhousePunkRock, I think you have to run the daemon once to specify the stuff and then you edit /etc/default to enable it at boot | 12:52 |

| chazco | Hi.. how can I install quake3 on 9.04 (the linux version, i have all the needed pk3s)? | 12:53 |
| hatake_kakashi | hesham, its probably extracted into its own directory | 12:53 |
| bening | hatake_kakashi which is the best | 12:54 |
| iceroot | Padhu1: or sensors-applet | 12:54 |
| Padhu1 | oh. THank you. I will try | 12:54 |
| iceroot | chazco: download q3 installer from id software ftp server (zerowing) and then copy the pak files | 12:54 |
| karamella | is their any one tell me how can i use net cut in lunix | 12:54 |
| Padhu1 | sensors-applet is not working for me | 12:54 |
| hatake_kakashi | bening, its a matter of personal taste, I use gkrellm more but superkaramba is not bad (despite requiring kde libs) | 12:54 |
| Padhu1 | ubuntu 8.10 | 12:54 |
| iceroot | Padhu1: ok, never tried, just seen in the repos | 12:54 |
| chazco | iceroot - Was considering that approach, though quake3-data in the repos seem more likely. Thanks :) | 12:54 |
| hesham | ok but what do i need to do to install the program | 12:55 |
| hatake_kakashi | Padhu1, you'll need various stuff apart from just that, stuff like sensord, etc | 12:55 |
| iceroot | chazco: ah ok, didn know q3 installer is in the repos | 12:55 |

| MilhousePunkRock | hatake_kakashi: Running sensord does nothing, not even some feedback that the demon is being started... | 12:56 |
| hatake_kakashi | chessnutmushroom, check with mount | 12:56 |
| Padhu1 | dfh: test disk to recover | 12:57 |
| chessnutmushroom | its not showing any of my nautilus mounts | 12:57 |

| zasf | I would like to compile libchamplain with python bindings on my system, but when i run ./configure --enable-python, it stops with: | 12:57 |
| zasf | checking for PYTHON_BINDING... no | 12:57 |
| zasf | configure: error: Couldn't find python | 12:58 |
| zasf | I already have python-dev installed | 12:58 |
| Padhu1 | dfh: it is only backup your files. | 12:58 |
| zasf | any ideas? | 12:58 |
| MilhousePunkRock | hatake_kakashi: I pretty much remember there must have been something else that would update every X seconds until you terminate it. Pretty similar to the output of sensors itself | 12:58 |
| mar77i | chessnutmushroom: there's some ~/.gvfs_mount directory, iirc | 12:58 |
| dsdeiz | anyone? :D | 12:58 |
| hatake_kakashi | MilhousePunkRock, yeah I can't remember which tool it was, when I did it, I used apt-get and installed a whole bunch of suggested packages | 13:00 |
| chessnutmushroom | thank you VERY much mar77i | 13:02 |
| chessnutmushroom | is there a command for listing that? or just ls? | 13:02 |

| EgyptianMan | i'm using windows xp , and i'm thinking to install ubuntu and use it instead, but i have a questions , about the applecations that can be running on ubuntu and linux generally , because many people says that there is very few applcations including Programs, games, etc that can run on linux bases OS | 13:05 |
| hatake_kakashi | MilhousePunkRock, just fired up my aptitude and checked for suggested stuff under sensord.. there's lm-sensors i2c-tools read-edid | 13:05 |
| jrib | EgyptianMan: there are over 20000 packages in ubuntu's repositories | 13:05 |
| inertial | what do you want to do with your computer EgyptianMan ? | 13:05 |
| chessnutmushroom | i can see the mounts, im just asking if i can run a command for listing my nautilus mounts without cd to the dir and ls | 13:05 |
| KEBA | every time i start ubuntu 9.04, i had to start alsamixer and unmute "master" and make master louder. i upgraded from 8.10, so i do not use pulse (and i dont want to use pulse...) - whats to do? | 13:05 |
| mar77i | EgyptianMan: the question is what you want to do. There's more choice for many things, and less gaming. :) | 13:06 |
| jrib | inertial: change your view to "continuous" mode | 13:06 |
| EgyptianMan | well it's a personal computer, so it will be running everything .. Movies, programs and somepoeple will run games on it too | 13:06 |
| MilhousePunkRock | hatake_kakashi: i2c-tools sounds familiar | 13:06 |
| inertial | jrib: ah thanks | 13:06 |
| EgyptianMan | so thats the question is ubuntu useful for such uses | 13:06 |
| Wuk | my pptp vpn connection disconnects after i start transfering data, it happens with two different servers, nothing in logs, started after update, worked two-three weeks ago | 13:06 |
| Gromph | EgyptianMan: Probably not. | 13:07 |
| dsdeiz | uhm may i ask what's the default PS1 in ubuntu? | 13:07 |
| hatake_kakashi | MilhousePunkRock, scratch read-edid, that's to do with monitors | 13:07 |
| mar77i | KEBA: hi KEBA! I think there was a /etc/init.d/alsa script that uses alsactl store and alsactl restore, look into the manpage and maybe into alsa package files... | 13:07 |
| inertial | EgyptianMan: most games are developed intended to be run on windows, so it is often difficult to get games to run on linux | 13:07 |
| jrib | EgyptianMan: depends on the programs and games. If they are linux programs and games, sure | 13:07 |
| Gromph | One cannot expect Call of Duty to run on Jaunty. :) | 13:08 |
| MonTree | anyone know if gateway netbook is a 64-bit cpu? it's call althon 64. i figure there might be a chance that amd just tag a "64" there for marketting purposes | 13:08 |
| EgyptianMan | hmmmm, but i heard that there is programs that can run windows based programs on linux | 13:08 |
| nukk | Hello, is the ubuntu-9.04-desktop-amd64.iso ok to install on an Intel centrino duo 1.66? | 13:08 |
| bening | inertial try to close and then open the application | 13:08 |
| albech | Gromph: it is in fact running in Wine i believe | 13:08 |
| jrib | EgyptianMan: wine, sure. But what's the point of using linux if you just run windows programs on it :/ | 13:08 |
| richardcavell | nukk: yes | 13:08 |
| Keiffer | how do i disable the guest session on my ubuntu? | 13:08 |
| hatake_kakashi | MonTree, it is 64bit | 13:08 |
| mar77i | EgyptianMan: For Movies and Programs, it's definitely fine. For games: there are many games for linux, too. | 13:08 |
| richardcavell | MonTree: yeah, you can do 64-bit | 13:08 |

| bening | EgyptianMan what do you need for computing activity? | 13:09 |
| s0Ldi3R | Wine is using very much RAM | 13:09 |
| EgyptianMan | well thats good, at least it will be good for my use | 13:09 |
| mar77i | dfh: what's the problem? | 13:09 |
| josh_ | what's the easiest way to allow people on my network to access games (mmo's) from my internet gateway machine? i have squid setup, but can't figure out how to make it work transparently, but it works fine with setting it in the browser settings. do i need to do something with iptables? | 13:09 |
| jrib | EgyptianMan: you can check if a particular application works with wine at the appdb, but you really should look for native linux alternatives for the programs you want | 13:09 |
| MilhousePunkRock | hatake_kakashi: That | 13:09 |
| albech | well if you really want to play windows games on your box i guess its a pretty good alternative | 13:09 |
| bening | EgyptianMan ubuntu give u all u need | 13:09 |
| MilhousePunkRock | hatake_kakashi: That's not it either... I think I might be hallucinating | 13:09 |
| KEBA | mar77i: there is an alsa-utils script: http://sprunge.us/YZLL - did you mean that? | 13:09 |
| hatake_kakashi | MilhousePunkRock, i2c-tools ? | 13:09 |
| albech | i would never use wine, but it works pretty good for some people | 13:10 |
| moymoy | why would you never use wine? | 13:10 |
| EgyptianMan | well, i have another question, it's a problem with the Ubuntu live CD in fact, because i donwloaded a full ISO from the Ubuntu website, is there any way to Install it from an ISO program without burning it ? | 13:10 |
| MonTree | hatake_kakashi, do u own one? richardcavell | 13:10 |
| richardcavell | I use wine. It works. | 13:10 |
| jrib | !install > EgyptianMan | 13:10 |
| ubottu | EgyptianMan, please see my private message | 13:10 |

| dsdeiz | hi! what's the default $PS1 in ubuntu? | 13:11 |
| KEBA | mar77i: it seems that i simply should comment the line «mute_and_zero_level "Mic"» ty | 13:11 |
| skapism | I know I should put it in /etc/modules.conf if it's a module, but it's compiled into the kernel | 13:11 |
| dfh | my other ubuntu hard disk wont load up the desktop, it just hangs | 13:11 |
| mar77i | KEBA, there's the alsactl store and restore commands on 69,74,85... it's the very one. | 13:11 |

| mbn_18 | Hi, I am trying to add a new shortcut that will switch to workspace 3. What is the command for this action? | 13:12 |
| KEBA | *75 | 13:12 |
| MilhousePunkRock | hatake_kakashi: lm-sensors is nothing to execute by itself... sensors is, but it will only display its stuff once | 13:13 |
| richardcavell | MonTree: Check all the components and see how they work in various distros | 13:13 |
| mar77i | nope. not them. They just store / restore the whole cake | 13:13 |
| jrib | jcmarini: make sure the volume is up for your capture devices (you may use alsamixer or the applet in you panel). Then try selecting each of the different inputs | 13:13 |
| mar77i | KEBA: You can test the script's behaviour without rebooting. | 13:14 |
| skapism | anyone? how do I add dxs_support to my snd-via82xx | 13:14 |
| skapism | ? | 13:14 |
| MonTree | richardcavell, why? i just need to run 64-bit windows, and ubuntu is usally a given, that it will work | 13:14 |
| josh_ | what's the easiest way to allow people on my network to access games (mmo's) from my internet gateway machine? i have squid setup, but can't figure out how to make it work transparently, but it works fine with setting it in the browser settings. do i need to do something with iptables? | 13:14 |
| jcmarini | inputs...doing it thank you jrib | 13:14 |

| troythetechguy | If I want to run a mixed environment (Windows & Linux), and want to be able to access my files (pictures, music, etc) regardless of which system I boot into, what is the best way to do this? | 13:15 |
| hatake_kakashi | MilhousePunkRock, sen<tab><tab> | 13:15 |
| skapism | troythetechguy: make an ntfs data partition | 13:15 |
| skapism | troythetechguy: unfortunately, windows has near to nonexistant ext3 support | 13:15 |
| MilhousePunkRock | hatake_kakashi: The sensors are detected and working, the only thing i want is constant output of sensors | 13:16 |
| KEBA | mar77i: you mean i could use the command "alsactl restore" to check the scripts behaiviour? | 13:16 |
| KEBA | *behaviour | 13:16 |
| skapism | skapism: there are some implementations but they s*ck badly | 13:16 |
| skapism | troythetechguy:* | 13:16 |
| troythetechguy | skapism: If I understand right, both Windows & Ubuntu can read & write to the NFTS "data" partition I create? | 13:16 |
| hatake_kakashi | MilhousePunkRock, yeah which is why sensord is needed to run.. try running it in foreground and see what's the reasons why it won't work | 13:16 |
| MonTree | richardcavell, hatake_kakashi http://www.gateway.com/systems/product/529668268.php | 13:16 |
| skapism | troythetechguy: yes, the ntfs-3g fuse driver is stable since some two years ago | 13:16 |
| mar77i | KEBA: you could start the script. I think it's not launched on boottime, and that's why alsa is muted. | 13:16 |
| Bacta | What's the main LaTeX package for Ubuntu? | 13:16 |
| skapism | troythetechguy: and is delivered out of the box in all the latest versions of most distributrions, afaik | 13:17 |
| troythetechguy | skapism: Files system wise, any concern running NTFS for my data vs. ext-3? | 13:17 |
| skapism | troythetechguy: I believe since 7.04 in ubuntu | 13:17 |
| KEBA | mar77i: well, but when its not started on boottime - why is alsa muted every time when i start ubuntu? | 13:17 |
| Keiffer | how do i disable the guest session on my ubuntu? | 13:17 |
| mar77i | KEBA: because alsa is muted if you don't reload the previous setting. it's the standard behaviour for the module. | 13:18 |
| skapism | troythetechguy: well, how do you mean? I have seen much more problems with ntfs, I don't really consider it stable. and you can't run and fsck on it from linux, you can only label it as for check and have windows repair it | 13:18 |
| avk | hello , how can i change my system time via console | 13:18 |
| skapism | troythetechguy: which makes it impossible for you to some day get rid of windows completely. but no idea what your plans are. ntfs binds you to windows, that's the downside | 13:18 |
| rski | avk: ntpddate-debian | 13:18 |
| bennettj | avk: check the "date" command | 13:18 |
| Dahiss | hey, anyone is from us/canada ^^? | 13:18 |
| troythetechguy | skapism: That is the info I was seeking. | 13:18 |
| Bacta | Wait, found it | 13:19 |
| Bacta | This is going to take a while :( | 13:19 |
| helloworld32934_ | >Hello everybody, maybe someone can help me. There is a strange behavior with my Samba-Server. I start copying a file (2GB) from a Windows Client in direction to the Samba-Server, the transmission rate is more than poor. While doing this, I start copying a second file (same size) and whoosh, the transmission rate jumps up to the maximum......any idea???? FTP-transmission is superfast. | 13:19 |
| hatake_kakashi | MilhousePunkRock, if its of any use, inside /etc/default/sensord I changed the conf file to /etc/sensors3.conf.. the standard /etc/sensors.conf didn't quite work for me | 13:19 |
| skapism | fat32 works stable on both... but meh, is very limited in file sizes and so, it'S 32bit fileystem | 13:19 |
| KEBA | mar77i: hm kay, ty | 13:19 |
| mar77i | KEBA: because of that, you normally launch alsactl store on shutdown and alsactl restore on boot. | 13:19 |
| mar77i | At least this is what my archlinux does... :) | 13:20 |
| KEBA | mar77i: hm, and ubuntu does not do this normally? | 13:20 |
| skapism | troythetechguy: but you can pretty much forget about using ext2-3 on windows. i've never got windows to even read it properly, never mind write. although people say it works, I have tried installing it on several computers and it's horrible | 13:20 |
| troythetechguy | In summary, I crate (1) NTFS data partition, (1) NFTS partition to install Windows on, and (1) ext3 partition for Ubuntu. I then point my Ubuntu "home" directory & windows "my Documents" directory to the "data" partition. sound right? | 13:20 |
| skapism | troythetechguy: which is kind of amazing given it's an _open_ filesystem, shouldn'T be that difficult to write a decent implementation of it | 13:20 |
| skapism | troythetechguy: yes, exactly, you can do it like that | 13:21 |
| Leoneof | i've NTFS Partitions, so i must reformat it again but with EXT? | 13:21 |
| mar77i | KEBA: your ubuntu should do so, too, if it uses alsa-only. I just don't know how pulseaudio handles any of this. | 13:21 |
| skapism | or you create a c and d on windows, and keep your data on d. that would allow you some degree of flexibility with reinstalling windows | 13:21 |
| KEBA | mar77i: hm ok | 13:21 |
| skapism | i would _always_ divide between / and /home, btw | 13:22 |
| KEBA | i restart X to show what happens :) | 13:22 |
| jcmarini | jrib think its the toggle audio recording from capture under menu item file volume control set but as soon as i close that window box it resets to mute | 13:22 |
| troythetechguy | skapism: Thanks for your help. | 13:22 |
| skapism | or c and d. putting my documents is just _wrong_ | 13:22 |
| skapism | troythetechguy: np | 13:22 |
| MilhousePunkRock | hatake_kakashi: | 13:22 |
| skapism | my documents on c* | 13:22 |
| MilhousePunkRock | hatake_kakashi: (Sorry, tiny netbook keyboard) Well, now I atleast have some logging in the syslog | 13:23 |
| skapism | that's why I don'T really like ubuntu's default setup. it just creates /. I've always wondered about it, it no complication for the user to create / and /0.webspeed.dk] has quit [Read error: 54 (Connection reset by peer)] | 13:23 |
| skapism | 14:22 -!- mar77i [n=martti@64-132.60-188.cust.bluewin.ch] has left #ubuntu [] | 13:23 |
| skapism | oops, sorry. the touchpad here is weird XD | 13:23 |
| hatake_kakashi | MilhousePunkRock, cool, now I think you need some front-end demon to get all that data | 13:23 |
| hatake_kakashi | MilhousePunkRock, I use gkrellm | 13:23 |
| skapism | anyway, to create / and /home | 13:23 |
| MilhousePunkRock | hatake_kakashi: We are talking about a mythtv machine here, I am currently sshed into it, and I would like to see realtime temperature data while watching recordings to monitor possible overheating... | 13:24 |
| skapism | so, anyone knows how to get snd-via82xx to work with dxs_support=4 when compiled into the kernel | 13:25 |
| troythetechguy | skapism: One last question: what's the difference between what we discussed and using a Samba server? | 13:25 |
| skapism | or basically, just tell me how to pass options into precompiled modules | 13:25 |
| MilhousePunkRock | hatake_kakashi: One more thing: Do you happen to know how I can direct the sensord logging into a seperate file? Otherwise my syslog will become rather crowded | 13:25 |
| hatake_kakashi | MilhousePunkRock, ahh my bad, didn't know you wanted realtime.. that would probably need some tweaking I suppose | 13:25 |
| hatake_kakashi | MilhousePunkRock, never tried it so I wouldn't know | 13:25 |
| skapism | troythetechguy: Samba is used for accessing files on Windows from a Linux machine, or for starting a Samba server on Linux to allow Windows to access the Linux computer. | 13:26 |
| MilhousePunkRock | hatake_kakashi: That's why I said I remember some tool that would not fall back to the prompt but update every other second | 13:26 |
| skapism | troythetechguy: The first case is where you need the samba client, the second a samba server. | 13:26 |
| skapism | i just abstracts the Windows network protocol, if I understand it correctly | 13:27 |
| skapism | it* | 13:27 |
| amaurea | Is there a way to use the hardware accelerated window effects to scale up the size of a window? | 13:27 |
| nukk | does the ubuntu-9.04-desktop-amd64.iso can only be found on a CD iso? i can't find the DVD iso... | 13:27 |
| skapism | nukk: there is a dvd? I don'T think ubuntu produces dvds | 13:27 |
| macgyver_ | Rather than post the same question to the bottom of the other 20 same question on UbuntuFormus, does anyone else here have or had an issue with Windows 7 and connectiong from Ubuntu to the sahres on windows 7? the post that is the same as my issue is --> http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1043933.html | 13:27 |
| skapism | nukk: debian has some though, even blurays | 13:28 |
| nukk | oh i thought i was missing the link somewhere | 13:28 |
| skapism | macgyver_: have you check whether samba officially supports Win 7? | 13:28 |
| skapism | checked* | 13:28 |
| amaurea | I have a program which uses software scaling to resize its display if I resize its window normally, and that is very slow. So I thought it should be possible to use the same hardware acceleration that makes the windows wobble when I drag them around to scale up the window | 13:28 |
| macgyver_ | skapism, negative I have not, but I would not have thought WIndows 7 RC1 would be much different to Vista as far as file sharing goes? | 13:29 |
| dragonrigs | hi | 13:29 |
| skapism | macgyver_: I have no idea, frankly I haven't used samba lately, and not to access Win 7. But yeah, Win 7 is (badly) patched Vista, so yeah :) | 13:29 |
| dragonrigs | is there a a chanel for india | 13:30 |
| macgyver_ | when I try and "map" a drive in Ubuntu using the "Connect to server option" this is what I get here now --> Cannot display location "smb://192.168.1.150/" -> | 13:30 |
| skapism | Since one of vista's problems was file transfer over network (horribly slow, they say), it's logical to think they'd revamp that in Win 7. means samba wouldn't just work as it did with Vista | 13:31 |
| skapism | macgyver_: that address pingable? | 13:31 |
| skapism | macgyver_: win7 firewall disabled? | 13:31 |
| skapism | macgyver_: can the win7 computer see ubuntu too? | 13:31 |

| tudon | how does one disable netroot sulogin without setting a root password? in ubuntu | 13:40 |
| jrib | jcmarini: see if the behavior also occurs if you use alsamixer | 13:40 |
| MilhousePunkRock | hatake_kakashi: | 13:41 |
| jcmarini | will audacicity record audio stream from net | 13:41 |
| MilhousePunkRock | hatake_kakashi: Well, I give up for now, syslogging should be better than nothing.. Thanks for your help | 13:41 |
| MilhousePunkRock | Have a nice day everyone! | 13:41 |
| tudon | i was just wondering... coz a public pc with ubuntu people dont want others entering single user login and the only sollution seems to be to passwd root. seems rather ironic to me? | 13:42 |
| === aksci is now known as thedancingdeer | ||
| jrib | tudon: well you could just remove the grub entry for it. You also have to set a grub password | 13:44 |
| xKintaro | Dr_Willis you there? | 13:44 |
| tudon | hmm yea coz they could manually type a boot codes ? | 13:45 |
| jrib | tudon: and set a bios password and disable booting from usb or cd | 13:45 |

| jcmarini | thanks tudon by the by why dont those on this channell like private chat? | 13:53 |

| s3r3n1t7 | jrib: it's wierd ... and highly annoying | 13:54 |
| jrib | s3r3n1t7: in single user mode you were always in a shell right? no X? | 13:54 |
| s3r3n1t7 | jrib: yup. Root console, nothing loaded. Just let it run there, and a 4 appeared. | 13:54 |
| s3r3n1t7 | jrib: from what i have found so far is that it's probably send on the keyboard input channel to the kernel. | 13:55 |
| jrib | s3r3n1t7: checked if it happens on a live cd? | 13:55 |
| s3r3n1t7 | jrib: not yet (why didnt i think of that) ... | 13:55 |
| s3r3n1t7 | jrib: i'll give it a go and see if it happens. Any other suggestions? | 13:56 |
| jrib | s3r3n1t7: can't think of any, good luck though | 13:56 |

| neil_stewart | MrElendig: would it be that simple or do the UID/GUIDs need modification? | 14:00 |
| netbook2009 | moblin is beta software | 14:00 |
| MrElendig | neil_stewart: if you create the user with the same uid/gid as on the original box, then it is that simple | 14:00 |
| MrElendig | if you don't, just do a chown | 14:00 |
| MrElendig | on th home folder | 14:00 |
| netbook2009 | moymoy, have *you* tried moblin on your own netbook? | 14:01 |
| neil_stewart | MrElendig:Cool I will try Thanks | 14:01 |
| gabkdlly_ | jcmarini: mplayer is capable of dumping just about any stream it is able to playing | 14:01 |
| moymoy | netbook2009: i don't have a netbook, but i've tried the moblin image a while ago on a laptop, it worked brilliantly | 14:01 |
| moymoy | netbook2009: you can dd it to a USB and boot it from there to try it out | 14:02 |

| netbook2009 | moymoy, moblin requires a usb pendrive 1 gig or higher or cdrom, i have neither on my netbook. i repeat i have a 2gig sd card | 14:08 |
| MrElendig | jcmarini: no, it's really simple. Irc clients checks if the first word in a line is your nick, and if it is, it highlights the line | 14:09 |
| MrElendig | it's all on the client side | 14:09 |
| MrElendig | some clients also highlights if your nick appear anywhere else in a line | 14:10 |

| huckleberry | hehe | 14:25 |
| Viliny | fixed! -r for recursive! | 14:25 |
| dsnyders | Viliny, You may also want to look at .htaccess files. They tell apache if a file/folder is servable. | 14:27 |

| Lartza_ | mazda01: Noww why would I need that?? | 14:47 |
| CopyWriter | i love ubuntu, and the support that you guys give, i know you guys work hard at it so i just wanted to say thank you for all your help | 14:48 |
| mazda01 | Lartza_: because you would put the mech assult game in with the exploit plugged into a usb stick and that would boot an ftp server for you and you could fix it from there. | 14:48 |
| mazda01 | Lartza_: doesn't the xbox even boot up xbox games? | 14:48 |
| Lartza_ | but my xbox wont boot cds(well ms dashboard!) i cant use usb stink on it(no ports) and i dont have the game | 14:49 |

| Bodsda | Halitech, make sure you have an internet connection on the machine your installing slack/gentoo on -- it can save a lot of time -- hence why i recommend a virtual install first | 15:28 |
| Halitech | Alvinware, ssh is typically used to control a computer | 15:29 |
| Halitech | Bodsda, I have a 4 port router with only 1 port being used, how are slack and gentoo for using wireless usb adapters? SiS chipset if I remember | 15:29 |
| Bodsda | Halitech, unless the gods love you, a out of the box wireless connection is probably not going to happen, not unless you know the config files very well | 15:30 |
| miguelonnnn | hi, please 1 fast question, i'm wondering if a processor can achieve the same graphics as a graphic card, with 3d acc and all that.

| loconut | oh | 16:13 |
| Bodsda | innomen, im not gonna argue about this, please do not use that kind of language here. Words or acronyms | 16:14 |
| loconut | vigo i think your response was for me (about the corrupt package)- wasn't it? | 16:14 |

| GPL | SysReq ? | 16:14 |
| GPL | Super Key | 16:15 |
| innomen | Bodsda, Cease speaking to me, thats the best way to "not argue" | 16:15 |
| Bodsda | GPL, no, its usually the print screen key | 16:15 |
| arand | GPL: normally on the same key as prntscrn | 16:15 |
| Bodsda | innomen, I will, as long as you obey the rules | 16:15 |

| loconut | any thoughts on what to do about a couple specific corrupt packages during ppc install? | 16:16 |
| lancerocke | hi all. for some reason every time i restart the computer the networkmanager is not running. i always have to do sudo /etc/init.d/NetworkManager restart to restart it to get it working | 16:16 |
| innomen | Bodsda, Kepp harassing me, see what happens | 16:16 |
| innomen | Bodsda, if you cant help me, dont talk to me | 16:16 |
| * Bodsda starts shaking in his little space boots | 16:16 | |
| innomen | power trip somewhere else | 16:16 |
| Bodsda | ... I have no power here | 16:16 |
| deexannihilate | Flashplayer constantly has errors and causes Firefox to shut down. I've tried just Nonfree and installer. Any other suggestions? | 16:17 |
| innomen | Bodsda, its clear how powerless you are from your hall monitor attitude, but you dont need ot have power to be on a power trip, this is off topic and you are getting annoying, go polish an apple or something | 16:18 |
| th0r | I'll be in #xubuntu...let me know when the grownups arrive | 16:18 |
| mazda01 | really weird problem. i am using wdm for session management and if i chose logout, i am taken back to wdm but when I enter my username and hit enter, it's doesn't change to password prompt, the only way to log in now is to restart the machine by ctrl-alt-F1, then run sudo shutdown -r now. anyone help? | 16:18 |
| Third3ye | Ey folks, I got a problem with the liveCD (both ubuntu and kubuntu). No matter what I do, like safemode graphics, noapic, acpi=off, etc, it still won't work. Sometimes it freezes when initing bluetooth and sometimes it freezes when you've just started X (all I can see is the mouse cursor in the middle of the screen but I can't move it) | 16:18 |
| * Bodsda loves internet hard nuts | 16:18 | |
| innomen | does anyone have any idea where i could find a more integrated solution to my issue? (trying to install twitter support for pidgin) | 16:18 |
| loconut | innomen, i don't mean to intrude, but you seem like the kind of guy that gets pushed once and the other guy walks away and you keep pushing and asking if they want to make something of it and telling them they should just try it. further you threaten and suggest they see what happens- yet this is IRC. Even if you were an IRC OP, who cares. I and many others have got a situation here to deal with and you're chumming the waters. | 16:18 |
| Third3ye | And yes, this is a machine thats going on in it's days. But still, you should be able to install ubuntu on it :/ | 16:19 |
| AE^laptop | loconut: +1 | 16:19 |
| legend2440 | lancerocke: open system>preferences>startup applications is Network Manager in there? | 16:20 |
| mazda01 | having wdm issues. anyone use it? | 16:20 |
| lancerocke | legend2440, yes it is | 16:20 |
| innomen | loconut, you misunderstand completely, i'll leave it at that, note the irony however, your statement demands a response yet any kind of response can be construed as confirmation, its unfalsifiable, like saying "you like to argue don't you" on a personal note i just want help with my issue if anyone is willing or capable, i do not want to be censored when it was clear i was already making an effort to conform to the standards here | 16:21 |
| Third3ye | I don't think it's a kernel panic tho. Even tho I can't switch between TTY and X the cursor still blinks in TTY | 16:21 |
| Halitech | innomen, have you read this info? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingEasyHowTo | 16:21 |
| aayala | damn i try apt-get install --reinstall g++ libstdc++6 libstdc++6-4.3-dev and g++ don't find iostream | 16:21 |
| loconut | you seem to have rebutted relatively well. | 16:21 |
| legend2440 | lancerocke: and its got a check mark next to it? | 16:21 |
| lancerocke | legend2440, http://www.imagebam.com/image/db9f5e44828397 yes | 16:21 |
| innomen | Halitech, no havent thank you :) | 16:22 |
| Halitech | innomen, or have you looked at getdeb.net to see if there is a prebuilt deb of what you want? | 16:22 |
| innomen | loconut, actually i only meta-rebutted heheh | 16:22 |
| Bodsda | innomen, dont know how reliable this is but it may be of some use. http://sugree.com/project/microblog-purple | 16:22 |
| aayala | this is my code: #include <iostrem> \n using namespace std; int main() { cout << "Hello"; return 0; } | 16:22 |
| innomen | halitech, i did not know either of those resources existed, thank you :) | 16:22 |
| aayala | damn i try apt-get install --reinstall g++ libstdc++6 libstdc++6-4.3-dev and g++ don't find iostream | 16:22 |
| legend2440 | lancerocke: if you highlight it and click edit it say nm-applet --sm-disable in command? | 16:23 |
| Third3ye | No help to be found :/ | 16:23 |
| Third3ye | You should have a ticket bot in here :P | 16:23 |
| lancerocke | legend2440, yes it says 'nm-applet --sm-disable' | 16:23 |
| innomen | Bodsda, yea i saw that, and while it was a step up from the source issue, i still wanted something like a deb | 16:23 |
| aayala | i have iostream on /usr/include/c++/4.3/iostream | 16:24 |
| aayala | why g++ don't find that ? | 16:24 |
| Mrokii | hello all. I would like to know if the tips found in this article (http://www.goitexpert.com/general/ubuntuguide/) are still valid or not recommended to do. | 16:24 |
| Bodsda | innomen, the link I provided gives instructions on adding a personal package archive which contains a .deb of the needed pluginb | 16:24 |

| Faithful | How do you calculate the offset in memory space between two particular values? | 16:25 |
| Bodsda | Third3ye, was your issue regarding graphic display problems on livecd? | 16:25 |
| Halitech | ishak, I believe those are flash files and vlc should play them | 16:25 |
| ishak | Halitech, no it cant | 16:25 |

| innomen | Bodsda, pretend i repeated what i said to you. | 16:25 |
| Third3ye | To be honest I have no idea. I'm an old time nixer who just wants to try the latest ubuntu installment | 16:25 |
| _Master_ | does fglrx work for ubuntu 9.04 ? | 16:25 |
| _Master_ | I have ati mobile 9600 | 16:26 |
| innomen | Bodsda, i dont want to add a source just for a plugin | 16:26 |
| Halitech | _Master_, no | 16:26 |
| coreGrl | hi | 16:26 |
| legend2440 | lancerocke: if you right click the NM applet on top panel and choose edit connections there is a box to mark Connect Automatically | 16:26 |
| ishak | can anyone tell me how do i read & edit .FLA files? | 16:26 |
| _Master_ | Halitech, bummer | 16:26 |
| ishak | !fla | 16:26 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about fla | 16:26 |
| MrElendig | ishak: try google | 16:26 |
| innomen | Bodsda, if i'm going to do that i might as well install a whole second app just to handle twitter, which there are 3 in the add/remove and who knows how many others out here | 16:26 |
| coreGrl | I'm trying to use amule on ubuntu 9.04 but it seems it doens't download nothing.. there is a problem if I'm using wifi connection? | 16:27 |
| Bodsda | innomen, you dislike adding two lines to a text file to give you the functionality you require? I cant help you then | 16:27 |
| Third3ye | No, you may not open FLA files in Linux :P Fla are flash source files and there is no flash IDE for linux | 16:27 |
| innomen | getdeb.net does not appear to have anything for twitter but perhaps i'm suing the wrong search terms | 16:27 |
| lancerocke | legend2440, yes http://www.imagebam.com/image/82debb44828842 | 16:27 |
| innomen | Bodsda, actually no i just dislike you, if you must know | 16:27 |
| Bodsda | innomen, wow, now when someone asks for help and they are provided with it, usually they are grateful. I guess some people are just hard to please | 16:28 |
| thiebaude | ishak, .FLA is a flash source file | 16:28 |
| ishak | Third3ye, then? am i supposed to install dreamweaver? | 16:28 |
| javagamer | My virtual terminals won't work, whenever I try and go to one of them I just get a blank screen with a flashing cursor in the top left. I've tried removing the splash screen from menu.lst, but it hasn't fixed anything, can anyone help? | 16:28 |
| innomen | does anyone here use twitter and pidgin? perhaps i'm wasteing my time? can someone suggest an alternative prefferably one with which they have personal experiance? | 16:28 |
| ishak | thiebaude, ya i know that | 16:29 |
| legend2440 | _Master_: no amd stopped supporting that card. they relegated it to "legacy" status | 16:29 |
| ishak | thought that linux can edit that | 16:29 |
| _Master_ | what is legacy status ? and who did that, ati ? | 16:29 |
| Bodsda | _Master_, legacy means old basically | 16:30 |
| innomen | Bodsda, that implies you provided help, you did not, first you scolded me over my psudo offensive language when clearly no one was offended, and then you give me what amounts to the first google result, which is insulting considering i opened my conversation today with the fact that i googled | 16:30 |
| innomen | :) | 16:30 |
| innomen | Bodsda, once again, perhaps you should cease speaking/responding to me? | 16:30 |
| sshc | how do I set a shell script to be run as root? | 16:30 |
| Third3ye | ishak: http://www.fileinfo.com/extension/fla | 16:30 |
| Bodsda | innomen, would you like me to provide my second google result? http://webupd8.blogspot.com/2009/03/twitter-in-pidgin-plugin.html -- since both links provide information about how to solve your problem I dont think il paste a third, unless you really really want it | 16:31 |
| korg | Hello everybody! Is there anyone who use X Updates as driver installation method? | 16:31 |
| Third3ye | BRB, gonna try removing "quiet" from the boot parameters | 16:31 |
| ishak | Third3ye, thanks | 16:31 |
| legend2440 | _Master_: amd did it. legacy basically means old and not supported anymore. theres a long list of cards they did that to. http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Legacy/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx?type=2.4.2&product=2.4.2.3.1&lang=English | 16:31 |
| Bodsda | Third3ye, that just makes it display info during boot up | 16:31 |
| innomen | Bodsda, *facepalm* | 16:32 |
| _Master_ | legend2440, too bad I can't change cards because this is a laptop | 16:32 |
| stefg | javagamer: have you already checked in the system monitor how many getty proc's are running | 16:32 |
| innomen | Bodsda, how about you give me the apt get or the directly link to a deb to download? | 16:32 |
| canthus13 | Is there any way to get nickserv to email you your password? | 16:32 |
| mazda01 | using xdm and trying to set the default session. which file is the file i need to edit? | 16:32 |
| pulledteeth | I have lm-sensors installed but the low and high are incorrect. I tried changing /etc/sensors.conf but it doesn't work. Anyone have a suggestion? | 16:32 |
| innomen | Bodsda, or better yet how about you go attempt to follow the instructions on those links and tell me how it works out, then perhaps you'd discover why i am here :) | 16:33 |
| Bodsda | innomen, if you follow those instructions.. which say add two lines to the end of a file, then I would be happy to give you the command.. | 16:33 |
| javagamer | stefg: I tried to, but I don't see any so I'm guessing somehow I'm looking wrong | 16:33 |
| legend2440 | _Master_: yea i had radeon 9600. tv out stopped working so i bought a nvidia. however, if you reinstall intrepid you can use the fglrx drivers | 16:33 |
| Bodsda | innomen, if i had a linux install to hand then I would gladly tets it | 16:33 |
| stefg | javagamer: make sure you display *all* proc's not just the ones you own | 16:33 |
| _Master_ | weird, how can they work for intrepid and not jaunty ? | 16:33 |
| Halitech | _Master_, xorg changed between the 2 versions | 16:34 |
| bushwakko | hey, anyone know if there is an app that I can use to scp from comp1 to comp2 while using a gui from this computer (comp3)? | 16:34 |
| javagamer | stefg: Ah, there are 6 running | 16:34 |
| _Master_ | couln't I migrate the drivers from intrepid somehow | 16:34 |
| _Master_ | hmm | 16:34 |
| legend2440 | _Master_: intrepid used xserver-xorg 1.5 jaunty upgraded to xserver 1.6 | 16:34 |
| stefg | mazda01: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=229238 will shed light on it | 16:35 |
| innomen | Bodsda, Look man, i dont know what your issue is, but can you just leave me alone? | 16:35 |
| aayala | damn i try apt-get install --reinstall g++ libstdc++6 libstdc++6-4.3-dev and g++ don't find iostream | 16:35 |
| lancerocke | legend2440, any ideas? | 16:35 |
| aayala | this is my code: #include <iostrem> \n using namespace std; int main() { cout << "Hello"; return 0; } | 16:35 |
| aayala | why g++ don't find that ? | 16:35 |
| aayala | i have iostream on /usr/include/c++/4.3/iostream | 16:35 |
| _Master_ | legend2440, well I guess I am going to reinstall 8.10 then | 16:35 |
| pulledteeth | .. | 16:35 |
| _Master_ | no other choice | 16:35 |
| pulledteeth | aayala, <iostream> | 16:35 |
| curt | because g++ uses grammar? | 16:35 |
| legend2440 | lancerocke: i had two options. buy another card or stay with intrepid | 16:35 |
| _Master_ | the open source drivers cause the screen refresh to be slow | 16:35 |
| innomen | Bodsda, i haven't put anyone on ignore on irc in a number of years i would prefer not to break that streak :) | 16:35 |
| stefg | javagamer: ok, sou you have the getty procs running. Do you use some vga=XXX kernel line in /boot/grub/menu.lst? | 16:36 |
| lancerocke | legend2440, i have 3 cards in there | 16:36 |
| Bodsda | innomen, no offense, but you really need to stop being so hostile. I am trying to help here, I will quite gladly give you step by step instructions on how to do this. | 16:36 |
| lancerocke | legend2440, are u suggesting they are all bad? | 16:36 |
| aayala | yes | 16:36 |
| lancerocke | legend2440, my connection is fine in windows 7, vista and os x | 16:36 |
| aayala | i dont put .h | 16:36 |
| pulledteeth | aayala, it's <iostream>. You misspelled it. | 16:36 |
| javagamer | stefg: there is one vga= line in menu.lst and it was 776 or something like that, I'll check\ | 16:37 |
| legend2440 | lancerocke: no i am not suggesting they are all bad. i can only speak from experience about the radeon 9600 | 16:37 |
| aayala | damn i have the morning in that i miss 'a' | 16:37 |
| aayala | thanks so much | 16:37 |
| lancerocke | legend2440, im sure my vards arent bad | 16:37 |
| aayala | is human error XD | 16:38 |
| aayala | i reinstalled g++ and libstdc++ | 16:38 |
| aayala | hohoho | 16:38 |
| lancerocke | legend2440, which leaves 'stay with inrepid' means network manager on jaunty is just bad? | 16:38 |
| aayala | thanks pulledteeth | 16:38 |
| stefg | javagamer: that might be a problem... framebuffer resolutions tend to break | 16:38 |
| pulledteeth | aayala, not a problem | 16:38 |
| innomen | Bodsda, and i can give you step by step instructions on how to remove your teeth with a hammer but that doesn't mean its what you wanted to do, i already said i dont want to add sources just for a plugin, nor do i wish to compile something, unless i absolutely have too, it seems hard for me to believe there isn't a deb out there somewhere, ps i'm hostile because i dont like you i've told you twice to cease speaking to me but you | 16:39 |
| innomen | persist, am i supposed to be overjoyed that i'm being pestered in lieu of being helped? | 16:39 |
| thiebaude | innomen, take it to #ubuntu-offtopic | 16:39 |
| stefg | javagamer: which ubuntu version is that, and what graphics chip do you have? | 16:39 |
| innomen | thiebaude, i'm not going anywhere, he's the one that wont drop it, i've been trying too get him to not talk to me since i got here, and i think tryingt o find a deb for any twitter plugin for pidgin is very much on topic | 16:40 |
| _Master_ | is 8.10 easy to use as 9.04 ? | 16:40 |
| javagamer | stefg: 9.04 with an nVidia graphics card, I think it may be related to the fact that I'm using the hardware drivers applet rather than installing them manually which I used to do | 16:41 |
| legend2440 | lancerocke: i would try channel #radeon or #ati. maybe they have some ideas how to make it better on jaunty. i only bought new card because i wanted tv out to work. everything else was fine with the open source drivers | 16:41 |
| innomen | Halitech, that getdeb site is super useful | 16:41 |
| thiebaude | innomen, fair enough | 16:41 |
| Halitech | innomen, I'm not finding a deb for a twitter plugin, leaves compiling from source or adding the info to the sources.list file | 16:41 |
| lancerocke | lancerocke, i dont have any radeon or ati hardware in my system | 16:42 |
| legend2440 | _Master_: : i would try channel #radeon or #ati. maybe they have some ideas how to make it better on jaunty. i only bought new card because i wanted tv out to work. everything else was fine with the open source drivers | 16:42 |
| javagamer | innomen, I just installed Twitgin from the instructions on google, what's your problem with it? | 16:42 |
| _Master_ | lancerocke, what do you use then ? | 16:42 |
| innomen | Halitech, thats becoming clear *sigh* it seems like everytime i cant find a way to do what i'm tryingt o do there is some other better way that everyone else is doing that i ddint know about heheh, do you happen to use twitter at all? | 16:42 |
| legend2440 | lancerocke: sorry those last posts were for _Master_ about his ati card | 16:42 |
| candelaresi | Buenas Tardes gente ubuntista | 16:42 |
| lancerocke | legend2440, i see | 16:42 |
| Bodsda | In case anyone was wondering where to find a .deb for a twitter plugin for pidgin. they would only need to click on this link to download it. http://microblog-purple.googlecode.com/files/pidgin-microblog_0.1-1%7Egetdeb1_i386.deb | 16:42 |
| stefg | javagamer: i found my gt8600 not working with fb reso's larger than 800x600 ... I'd not use frambuffer or only soething like vga=0x303 | 16:43 |
| Halitech | innomen, no, I find sites like twitter and myspace to be a waste of my time | 16:43 |
| innomen | javagamer, twitgen, which one is that? did you have to make from source? i followed those instruction (maybe not the ones you used) and nothing happened, no new account options | 16:43 |

| legend2440 | lancerocke: i'm not sure why your NM applet is not starting automatically. maybe someone in #wireless would | 16:44 |
| innomen | Halitech, twitter is extremely spammy, myspace is loathsome but both represent exclusive means of communication with some of my less than tech savvy friends :) | 16:44 |
| lancerocke | legend2440, ok | 16:44 |
| GPL | My Tablet is displayed in xinput list, but isnt working, "what could be the problem" | 16:44 |
| innomen | outside a phone call of course | 16:44 |
| javagamer | innomen: these instructions http://webupd8.blogspot.com/2009/03/twitter-in-pidgin-plugin.html, I added the stuff to the repositories, and used apt-get to install, then you enable to plugin in Pidgin, then you can add a Twitter account | 16:44 |
| Halitech | innomen, if someone can't use msn or call me, I don't need to talk to them :) | 16:45 |
| lancerocke | does anyone know how id implement this 'patch'? http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/4112#comment:12 | 16:45 |
| innomen | javagamer, in your optinon which is more stable going that route or compiling from source? | 16:45 |
| innomen | Halitech, i'm strongly considering taking that attitude to heart :P | 16:45 |
| mazda01 | do i need network-manager to start up or can I just manage interface and networking with ifconfig and /etc/init.d/networking? | 16:46 |
| mazda01 | and /etc/network/interfaces | 16:46 |
| innomen | ubuntu, you're kind of a big deal aren't you :) (i couldent help it) | 16:46 |
| javagamer | innomen: Adding the repositories should allow you to get updates more easily than from source, though both should work | 16:46 |
| Halitech | innomen, having a repo to update the program for you would be more stable as you may not know about updates that could fix issues .... I also avoid youtube and other "junk" like that | 16:46 |
| candelaresi | gente | 16:47 |
| stefg | mazda01: if you have a box that doesn't roam between networks and only has wired net there's no need for network-manager | 16:47 |
| candelaresi | hice algo malo | 16:47 |
| innomen | javagamer, i have attmped to install from source once already and it appears to have failed, do you think that would conflict in any way? | 16:47 |
| erUSUL | !es | candelaresi | 16:47 |
| ubottu | candelaresi: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. | 16:47 |
| candelaresi | uh... excuse me... | 16:47 |
| innomen | Halitech, noted, i'll go that route... Blaphemer! I'm a youtube addict :) | 16:47 |
| candelaresi | i have the spanish chanel in another window | 16:47 |
| javagamer | Did you check to see if it's in pidgin's plugins menu? If it's not then I doubt it would conflict, but I'm no expert | 16:48 |
| mazda01 | stefg: so how do I get it to NOT load. i am using mythbuntu and only have 256 of ram so I need to stop all un-needed services. i already switched from xfce4 to icewm but i still see alot of stuff being loaded that i don't need | 16:48 |
| Halitech | innomen, I may go to hell for it but I won't be alone, all my friends will be there ;) | 16:48 |
| innomen | javagamer, yea, but maybe i've over looked a critically simple thing, would rebooting help? (that may mark me as a former windows user but if the shoe fits... :) | 16:49 |
| innomen | Halitech, good company is very important.. | 16:50 |
| Halitech | mazda01, check synaptic for boot up manager, I think it will allow you to disable services on boot | 16:50 |
| mazda01 | also, i have a weird problem with wdm, if i log out and try to log back in wdm isn't prompting me for a password after I enter my username and hit enter. i have to go to ctrl-alt-F1, then issue sudo /etc/init.d/wdm restart | 16:50 |

| innomen | speaking of rebooting is there a way to restart to operating system without actually power cycling the machine? in windows when things got wonky i could endtask tree explorer.exe and that was effectivly like rebooting for some intents and purposes, is there something like that for ubuntu? | 16:50 |
| javagamer | innomen: I doubt rebooting would hurt, but no idea if it will fix anything, go ahead and try it. | 16:50 |
| stefg | mazda01: you'd be better off to do a manual install from a mini.iso ... then you only pull things in that you want. I'd recommend openbox as wm, or having a look at crunchbang linux | 16:51 |
| erUSUL | innomen: restart the Xwindow system for example | 16:51 |
| monir | #linuxac | 16:51 |
| erUSUL | !dontzap | innomen | 16:51 |
| ubottu | innomen: 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. | 16:51 |
| innomen | erusul that sound exactly like what i need, thanks! | 16:52 |
| mazda01 | stefg: well, i already have a mysql server running, an apache2 server running, samba, nfs, mythtv running and a lot of stuff i already ocnfigured so at this point i don't want to reinstall os. i am not that comfortable with linux yet. | 16:52 |
| Keiffer | how do i stop some ubuntu services? | 16:53 |
| innomen | erUSUL, i suppose i should expect no less from the kwisatzhaderach (i know i butchered the spelling) :) | 16:53 |
| erUSUL | innomen: ;) | 16:53 |
| Halitech | Keiffer, check out boot up manager | 16:53 |
| innomen | erUSUL, will that command harm mounted ntfs volumes? | 16:53 |
| erUSUL | innomen: no | 16:54 |
| Keiffer | Halitech, i don't have it | 16:54 |
| innomen | erUSUL, like is it sudden or does it attempt to be graceful? | 16:54 |
| erUSUL | innomen: it will kill all the graphical programs and restart the display. you will be offered the login screen again | 16:54 |
| Keiffer | I have installed some apps that now opened ports. and i want them closed | 16:54 |
| Halitech | Keiffer, look in synaptic for it | 16:54 |
| shapr | Silly question, I'm used to changing /etc/apt/sources.list and then doing a dist-upgrade, can I upgrade from ubuntu 9.04 server to 9.10 that way? | 16:55 |
| erUSUL | Keiffer: firewall | 16:55 |
| erUSUL | !firewall > Keiffer | 16:55 |
| ubottu | Keiffer, please see my private message | 16:55 |
| innomen | erusul, cool, how does it comparing to simply logging off? is it lower level; than that? | 16:55 |
| shapr | What's the ubuntu equivalent of debian/unstable, and how do I change my /etc/apt/sources.list to point to that instead of 9.04 server? | 16:55 |
| stefg | mazda01: you can backup you /etc and /var/www ... you don't lose all your config. Anyway, you can still run synaptic, filter for installed packages and remove anything that you don't need/want. cups and the whole printing subsystem are candidates, as well as bluetooth, avahi | 16:56 |
| erUSUL | innomen: the part about restarting the display and force killing apps | 16:56 |
| Halitech | shapr, currently it would be 9.10 | 16:56 |
| javagamer | stefg: First off, thanks for all your help. Reading up on the framebuffer I'm a little confused as to exactly what it is, it's how the virtual terminals work, right? And if so would decreasing the size of it (which would lower the virtual terminal resolution, right?) fix my problem? | 16:56 |
| shapr | Halitech: Spiffy, how do I point to that? I would assume I change jaunty to something else? | 16:56 |
| innomen | erUSUL, yes would simply logging out and back in be more/less effective? | 16:56 |
| erUSUL | !karmic | shapr keep in mind that stable ubuntu releawes are based on sid... | 16:57 |
| ubottu | shapr keep in mind that stable ubuntu releawes are based on sid...: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 | 16:57 |
| erUSUL | innomen: some astay app could block the log out. you can kill it by hand... | 16:57 |
| shapr | erUSUL: Thanks, I've been using debian/unstable for years on my desktop and servers. I'm just trying out ubuntu for awhile on a spare server :-) | 16:57 |
| stefg | javagamer: i think it'S a bug in nvidias video bios... for some reason newer nvidia cards started acting funny with newer kernels | 16:58 |
| innomen | thank you, brb | 16:58 |
| anu | gmail wale pe | 16:58 |
| FrankQC | I was wondering if you can dualboot a PS3 with Ubuntu | 16:58 |
| erUSUL | !ps3 | 16:58 |
| ubottu | Aside from i386 and amd64 platforms, Ubuntu is also available for alternate platforms. Playstation 3 ( support in #ubuntu-ps3 ) Apple PowerPC ( support in #ubuntu-ppc ) | 16:58 |
| FrankQC | ty | 16:59 |
| shapr | FrankQC: Yes, I've done it. | 16:59 |
| javagamer | stefg: I think I'll try disabling ubuntu's hardware graphics stuff and try installing the drivers manually again, if that doesn't work is there some other way I can kill a fullscreen application that's crashed? | 16:59 |
| shapr | Though my PS3 has Yellow Dog Linux at the moment. | 16:59 |
| innomen | erUSUL, dontzap installed, disabled enabled, neither result in ctrl-alt-backspace doing anything | 17:00 |
| stefg | javagamer: read the dontzap factoid... ctrl-alt-backspace for X restart (traditional) | 17:00 |
| stefg | !dontzap | javagamer | 17:00 |
| ubottu | javagamer: 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. | 17:00 |
| === baris is now known as terrordrone | ||
| stefg | javagamer: so Alt+SysRq+K | 17:01 |
| innomen | ok this has to be a newb question but what is "sysrq" key? | 17:01 |
| CaptainCrook | innomen: the windows flag... | 17:02 |

| ubottu | Wast3d2009, can you post the output of cat /etc/apt/sources.list: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic | 17:08 |

| Wast3d2009 | *cry* | 17:09 |
| Wast3d2009 | nu such file | 17:09 |

| frevidar | if I'm using ubuntu, do I have access to (almost) all the packages in debian sid? | 17:10 |
| eepberries | I'm trying to access a Samba share on my ubuntu server, but when I try logging into it from Windows it says my login information isn't correct. I know this can't be true since I'm definitely using the right username/password. What am I doing wrong? | 17:10 |
| stefg | frevidar: no, that'S a different (and not compatible) distro | 17:10 |
| Halitech | Wast3d2009, open a terminal and run cat /etc/apt/sources.list | 17:11 |
| azc | So, I seem to have lost my default panel across the top of the screen. | 17:11 |
| Halitech | Wast3d2009, then use pastebin to give us the results | 17:11 |
| Padhu1 | any hardware experts are here? | 17:11 |
| Wast3d2009 | Did it | 17:11 |
| Wast3d2009 | yeah i did it wrong | 17:11 |
| Halitech | Padhu1, what type of hardware? | 17:11 |
| DrizztDoUrden | Eh, I know this is not what this is for but if anyone has an extra Heroes of Newerth beta key I would love to try it on Ubuntu | 17:11 |
| Wast3d2009 | !pastebinit | 17:12 |
| ubottu | pastebinit is the command-line equivelent of !pastebin . Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output. Simple usage: command-name | pastebinit | 17:12 |
| Wast3d2009 | What now? | 17:12 |
| Bodsda | azc, run killall gnome-panel that should make them start again and hopefully reappear. If they do not then right click on the lower panel and there will be an option like 'add new panel' or something to that effect | 17:12 |
| bastid_razor | !panels | azc | 17:12 |
| ubottu | azc: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 17:12 |
| Wast3d2009 | What can i do now? | 17:12 |
| Halitech | Wast3d2009, open http://paste.ubuntu.com and paste the info there and give us the url so we can look at the info | 17:12 |
| azc | And how do I launch terminal without having the panel there..? | 17:12 |
| Bodsda | Wast3d2009, either paste to paste.ubuntu.com or run sudo apt-get install pastebinit && cat /etc/apt/sources.list | pastebinit | 17:12 |
| frevidar | stefg: I'm a little confused, the about page says: "Most of the packages in Ubuntu universe are also in Debian" | 17:13 |

| b1 | Can somebody help me?? I need to disable my touchpad - its fucked! Running xubuntu | 17:13 |
| frevidar | stefg: is the converse true? | 17:13 |
| Bodsda | !language | b1 | 17:13 |
| ubottu | b1: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 17:13 |
| Halitech | frevidar, same programs yes, compatible, not likely | 17:13 |
| Wast3d2009 | Here you go: http://pastebin.com/f4e7c2dba | 17:14 |
| frevidar | halitech: what I mean is if there's package x in debian sid, will I be able to get package x in ubuntu? | 17:14 |
| Bodsda | frevidar, there is probably package x in ubuntu's repo's yes. | 17:14 |
| Halitech | frevidar, more then likely yes but using the package from the Sid repo on Ubuntu will probably break your system | 17:14 |
| b1 | Sry | 17:14 |
| innomen | Bodsda, now see, that was an appropriate use of that little scold :) | 17:14 |
| stefg | frevidar: ubuntu users debian as the upstream /source/. | 17:15 |
| stefg | !debian | frevidar | 17:15 |
| ubottu | frevidar: 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! | 17:15 |
| Bodsda | innomen, I dont make the rules, ask #ubuntu-ops about in/appropriate acronyms if you like | 17:15 |
| Wast3d2009 | Anyone can still help me? | 17:15 |
| Wast3d2009 | How do i update to Cmake 2.6 | 17:16 |
| innomen | Bodsda, yea yea and they were just following orders, you may not make the rules but in a community like this everyone chooses how to enforce them :) | 17:16 |
| Wast3d2009 | Here is my post: http://pastebin.com/f4e7c2dba | 17:16 |
| frevidar | so ubuntu "universe" packages are close to a superset of debians "unstable", at least at the time of ubuntu's release? | 17:16 |

| innomen | Bodsda, i'm not trying to debate, i was just bantering :) | 17:16 |
| Halitech | Wast3d2009, you say you are running server 9.04 but the repos are for hardy which is 8.10 | 17:16 |
| stefg | frevidar:Dur to the different release process the packages are usually build with a different toolchain, so debian and ubuntu are not binary compatible in the strict sense | 17:16 |
| Halitech | !8.10 | 17:16 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) was the ninth release of Ubuntu. Downloading: http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/ - Release Notes: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810 | 17:16 |

| Wast3d2009 | O.O | 17:18 |

| Bodsda | innomen, did it work? | 17:19 |

| innomen | Bodsda, i'm still testing, i ... where'd he go? | 17:19 |
| innomen | Bodsda, wb | 17:19 |
| stefg | frevidar: all the good stuff is there, and a fair amount of ubuntu maintainers is also debian maintainers. If you don't need really exotic or bleeding edge stuff you should be fine with ubuntu | 17:19 |
| Bodsda | ty, wrong cross | 17:19 |
| innomen | Bodsda, i'm still testing, i'm not sure, it's not connecting | 17:19 |

| PAPUL | hi i really liked the boot screen of ubuntu 8 can changed it in ubuntu 9? | 17:32 |
| rage2people | since opera has no switch for that, i need to get rid of it | 17:32 |
| dekwon | damn, half day no help.... :( | 17:32 |
| Wast3d2009 | RebelZero is there something like VNC or so for Ubuntu which i could install? | 17:33 |
| rage2people | i found several solutions in message boards explaining how to dissable ipv6 in ubuntu, but non of it worked | 17:33 |
| toro | Anyone tried/using HTC phone as modem/Broadband using it's 3G network? Going away on work for a week and need it to work with my netbook running 9.04 remix | 17:33 |
| Halitech | unisun, unless they have a need for the latest version of OpenOffice, 8.04 will be fine | 17:33 |
| Halitech | !vnc | Wast3d2009 | 17:34 |
| ubottu | Wast3d2009: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 17:34 |

| RebelZero | Wast3d2009: of course, but if that's a server install it very likely doesn't have a X windows system yet and is beyond my range of expertise at the moment | 17:34 |
| Halitech | unisun, it will, just not the version thats installed by default | 17:34 |
| Wast3d2009 | Halitech thanks for this! | 17:34 |
| unisun | ah.. okay.. that's no problem then | 17:34 |

| falconic | Hey ... guys... seems like firefox (3.0 and 3.5) have suddenly started crashing on my system. | 17:35 |
| rage2people | thanks stefg! | 17:35 |
| PAPUL | hey check this out h(tt)p://tinyurl.com/l2tplr | 17:35 |
| falconic | this has happened once or twice before also.. but corrects out with a reboot. | 17:35 |
| msk | got this error during boot : "init: Error parsing configuration: No such file or directory [ 4.012000] Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! " what is the problem ? | 17:35 |
| stefg | rage2people: but in 8.10(?) and 9.04 it'S not trivial to disable that... it's compiled in the kernel, so you'll have to build a custom kernel sans ipv6 | 17:35 |
| PAPUL | oops wrong channel | 17:35 |
| PAPUL | sorry | 17:35 |
| rage2people | it's in 9.04 | 17:35 |
| falconic | any idea what might be wrong.. or what I can do u diagnose the issue | 17:35 |
| toro | HTC + USB + Ubuntu.. Anyone with experience? | 17:35 |
| rage2people | so that's why i can't blacklist the module -.- | 17:36 |
| toro | !3G | 17:36 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about 3G | 17:36 |
| PAPUL | hi i really liked the boot screen of ubuntu 8 can changed it in ubuntu 9? | 17:36 |
| iceroot | can i set priority, if i am getting out of ram, which aplication should still be able to get ram? something like nice for the ram i need | 17:36 |
| PAPUL | !wimax | 17:36 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about wimax | 17:36 |
| rage2people | so i will need to bake my own kernel in order to disable ipv6?! | 17:36 |
| rage2people | why? -.- | 17:36 |
| ikonia | rage2people: you can unload the ipv6 modules | 17:37 |
| ikonia | !ipv6 | 17:37 |

| falconic | @bishop.. opera is working fine.. | 17:37 |
| stefg | ikonia: only true up to intrepid afaik.. | 17:37 |
| falconic | seems like issue with gnome because even pidgin crashed once... | 17:37 |
| legend2440 | rage2people: read section on ipv6 http://www.salatti.net/tweak-ubuntu-for-speed | 17:37 |
| falconic | and firefox 3.0 also crashed... | 17:38 |
| rage2people | stefg:i just had to doublecheck on that... thx | 17:38 |
| === TT is now known as Guest92175 | ||
| falconic | this happened earlier also.. but a reboot usually fixes the issue. any idea how I can diagnose the issue? | 17:38 |
| bishop | thought so...cant give u the answer you need...stay with opera for now | 17:38 |
| rage2people | legend2440: thank's alot, i'll try that too | 17:38 |

| msk | got this error during boot : "init: Error parsing configuration: No such file or directory [ 4.012000] Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! " what is the problem ? | 17:39 |
| undifined | mine fails auto mount, but I can do it manually | 17:39 |
| falconic | @bishop.. when u say thought so.. is this is a common problem ? because on googling I found lots of them.. but none matched my description [on cursory look] | 17:39 |

| iceroot | !anyone | lancelot | 17:40 |

| ortsvorsteher | xTheGoat121x: are you familiar with chmod comman? | 18:27 |
| xTheGoat121x | jMyles, I have no idea how it happened. | 18:27 |
| xTheGoat121x | ortsvorsteher, not incredibly familiar, but I've used it before. | 18:27 |
| skapism_ | I have an onboard soundcard that uses that via vt82xx driver. now, after some while, the person I talk to reports a metallic sound. I've investiged a bit and discovered you should activate dxs_support with snd-via82xx. how do I do that, if the module is compiled within the kernel? | 18:27 |
| mazda01_ | exit | 18:28 |
| jMyles | xTheGoat121x: Before you chmod anything, let's figure out what the permissions are set at. Do you know how to check the owner, group, and permissions? | 18:28 |
| th0r | Wast3d2009: delete everything but lines 1,2,3,7 and 8. Then change line 7 to read /usr/sbin/gdm | 18:28 |
| mazda01_ | quit | 18:28 |
| haf1z | is there any command so i can get info about my laptop information? | 18:28 |
| ortsvorsteher | xTheGoat121x: just cd to your dir, sudo chown username:group * | 18:28 |
| jMyles | Keiffer: How do you know that port 22 is not blocked? | 18:28 |
| th0r | haf1z: lsusb, lspci, lshw | 18:28 |
| xTheGoat121x | jMyles, no I don't. | 18:28 |
| Wast3d2009 | th0r I have to delete except line 123 7 and 8? | 18:29 |
| th0r | Wast3d2009: yes, keep those five lines, then change the line that was 7 to read /usr/sbin/gdm | 18:29 |
| PW-toXic | ahhhhhh | 18:29 |
| jMyles | xTheGoat121x: Drop to a terminal and run ls -o. This will give you a long list of all the files and directories in your home folder. On the left side you'll see the permissions, and then the owner. You can run ls -o Documents to find out the information for the Documents folder, and so on. | 18:30 |
| PW-toXic | if i boot from 9.04 ubuntu life cd, it says: exec: 7: /etc/init.d/rcS: Input/output error | 18:30 |

| philf | jMyles: thanks, I don't think that is what I'm looking for, I have not backed up my system, so I have nothing to go back to, I was just wondering if like windows there was a restore option to bring me back a few days, see if my problems will be resolved. | 18:30 |

| === zer0 is now known as Guest10491 | ||
| jMyles | Keiffer: I'm trying to think what I'd do in your situation. I'd probably install firestarter and then look at the events. See if there is any connection coming in on port 22 when you try to connect with the client. | 18:31 |
| th0r | Wast3d2009: an example? you already have the lines for the file in that pastebin | 18:31 |
| jMyles | philf: No, there is not. When I've faced a similar situation, I sorted my home directory (viewing hidden folders) by date and looked for what changed. What are your symptoms? | 18:31 |
| xTheGoat121x | jMyles, when I do that, I get my username, and then "15", where I would expect my username again | 18:32 |

| stefg | javagamer: np ... so it seems your card actaully wants fb-reso's | 18:39 |
| xTheGoat121x | jMyles, these folders are on a shared partition, so I have a single location for all my files between both my OSes... I just checked the permissions on that particular partition. | 18:39 |
| th0r | Wast3d2009: what are you running, xubuntu? kubuntu? | 18:39 |
| windmill | I seem to have two ssh connections in my ps aux list (owned by me) but as far as I can see I've got no ssh connections open. is there a way to check what these connections are? | 18:39 |

| xTheGoat121x | jMyles, those are the only two items on the partition that I've lost permissions for. I have no idea what may have caused it. | 18:40 |
| th0r | Wast3d2009: is it a server install? | 18:40 |
| Wast3d2009 | th0r its a dedicated server... | 18:40 |

| th0r | Wast3d2009: then vnc won't work unless you install Xorg and gnome or another desktop | 18:40 |
| jMyles | xTheGoat121x: Cool! Well, as I say, these files are links, so you need to go to the place where the actual folders are and do the same thing. Report the permissions and we'll take it from there. | 18:40 |
| jMyles | philf: 32 or 64 bit? | 18:40 |
| Wast3d2009 | th0r can i install it now through commands? | 18:41 |
| th0r | Wast3d2009: I don't know all the packages you would need. | 18:41 |
| philf | jMyles: not sure, how do I tell, I think 32... | 18:41 |
| xTheGoat121x | jMyles, both have permissions of dr-xr-xr-x, with Documents having 17 and root, Pictures having 9 and root. | 18:41 |
| th0r | Wast3d2009: you could try 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop' but I don't know if it would get all the things you need automatically...you might bork the server | 18:42 |
| PW-toXic | joeyeye, cleaning up the cd makes ubuntu start properly :D | 18:42 |

| jrib | ojii: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sun-java6/+bug/410297 it will hit the repos soon. I doubt that the minor version is the reason your program does not work. You should probably try to troubleshoot that instead | 19:32 |
| th0r | mazda01: I think unrar x would work better than unrar e, but no quotes (I think) Don't use rox so it is a best guess | 19:32 |
| InfectedWithDrew | arshad: I can't unmount said NTFS partitions in gparted. They shouldn't even be mounted... | 19:33 |

| garymc | erUSUL do I need a static ip address? | 19:34 |
| mazda01 | th0r: yeah, i am using rox because xfce4 is just too much for only 256 ram. i like nautilus little box that appears showing me the rar set is extracting | 19:34 |
| yxz97_ | HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO | 19:34 |
| garymc | and a firewall? | 19:34 |
| arshad | InfectedWithDrew : can you please be more specific? thanks | 19:34 |
| jrib | ojii: I mean troubleshoot with the room. Otherwise install it and run your program with the new version. You don't need it to be /usr/bin/java to test | 19:34 |
| erUSUL | garymc: probably | 19:34 |
| th0r | mazda01: I use xfce, and there would be no quotes with that | 19:34 |
| garymc | oh ok | 19:34 |
| ojii | jrib, it's a web thing app | 19:35 |
| garymc | Anyone actually setup there own website form home or office? | 19:35 |
| Flare183 | garymc: I have, from my home server | 19:35 |
| harisund | garymc what are you trying to do? | 19:35 |
| InfectedWithDrew | arshad: The NTFS partitions that don't appear in /media are mounted in gparted, and I can't unmount them - selecting unmount does nothing. So, should I boot from live CD? | 19:35 |
| jrib | ojii: temporarily chanage the symlink your browser uses then | 19:35 |
| haytham-med | hi all, i have a question about fdisk -l ,is there something wrong if i see the boot mark star in windows not linux? | 19:35 |
| garymc | I want to setup email address's for my office workers | 19:35 |
| ojii | jrib, which symlink would that be? | 19:35 |
| erUSUL | haytham-med: no; nothing wrong with that | 19:35 |
| haytham-med | as in here http://www.linuxac.org/forum/attachments/forum45/8660d1249747050-screenshot-1.png | 19:35 |
| garymc | so they use the server I have and not an isp as it cost etc amount of money per month | 19:35 |
| garymc | so I thought I could just use my own servers | 19:36 |
| mazda01 | th0r: ok, trying unrar x $@ doesn't appear to do anything? huh, i wish i knew how to use rox better. you'd think that this would work for file manager because it's just passing the command to a shell right? | 19:36 |
| Flare183 | garymc: You can | 19:36 |
| arshad | InfectedWithDrew: no open terminal | 19:36 |
| Flare183 | !mailserver | garymc | 19:36 |
| garymc | flare183 : doe sit work well? | 19:36 |
| ubottu | garymc: Ubuntu supports the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) and provides mail server software of many kinds. You can install a basic email handling configuration with the "Mail server" task during installation, or with the "tasksel" command.

| arshad | InfectedWithDrew: do u see a list of mounted devices? | 19:37 |
| Flare183 | garymc: I don't have a static IP, but I would recommend that you get one. | 19:37 |
| garymc | I currently use UBUNTU 9.04 alternate LTSP | 19:37 |
| erUSUL | !firewall | garymc | 19:37 |
| ubottu | garymc: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist | 19:37 |
| th0r | mazda01: make sure that $@ is what you want for passing the whole path/filename to unrar | 19:37 |
| InfectedWithDrew | arshad: Do you want the pastebin'd output? | 19:37 |
| chansen | elsker når man installerer nyt updates, og så fucker alt bare :) | 19:37 |

| garymc | ahh ok | 19:37 |
| arshad | InfectedWithDrew: maybe the device is busy | 19:38 |
| felix_ | !scp | 19:38 |
| ubottu | SCP is a secure way of copying files across networks using !SSH. Usage: scp filename user@host:filename - WinSCP is a client for Windows, available at http://winscp.net/ | 19:38 |
| garymc | UFW , i will take al look | 19:38 |
| mazda01 | th0r: thats the thing. i don't even know what $@ is what I want???? I just want the .r00 or .rar file to extract to the current working dorectory when I click on it in rox-filer. | 19:38 |
| arshad | InfectedWithDrew: did you try rebooting? and see if it's still there? | 19:38 |
| InfectedWithDrew | arshad: Never mind, I recalled "umount" and simply unmounted it, thanks though! I'll ntfslabel it correctly and get back to you. | 19:38 |

| howaya | hello and greetings! :) my network manager applet just keeps spinning and then asking for authentication. i'm using wpa and the driver is rt61pci. its picking up the network but not connecting! Can anyone help? | 19:52 |
| th0r | manish: the server, then, is the windows computer at the office. I have no idea how to get a registration key for vnc server for windows | 19:52 |
| geirha | Pvpeter: What's the exact command you type in on the command line, and what is the error message? | 19:53 |
| th0r | manish: why not use remote desktop to access the windows machine (assuming the windows machine is that smart) | 19:53 |
| Frank1 | I just recently installed ubuntu and all of the updates and the little wireless icon at the top just has an x on it, not sure how to get to my wireless network | 19:53 |

| Frank1 | the broadcom drivers show up for wlan0 and everything | 19:54 |
| Frank1 | so I know the device is being recognized | 19:54 |
| th0r | manish: right. the vncserver must be running on the windows machines if you are trying to get to them from home...and you said the vnc server stopped because of no registration key,right? | 19:54 |
| laeeqashahid | hii all | 19:54 |

| geirha | Pvpeter: Well, you are executing the script correctly, and that output (which is not very descriptive) is most likely given by perl, so I'd try asking in #perl | 19:56 |

| Eternal_Student | you might have mistyped it | 19:59 |
| howaya | definately not it | 19:59 |
| manish | th0r: ok but, doing so, was created a problem and was giving security error and not connecting to windows box from ubuntu box | 19:59 |
| th0r | manish: well...that vnc system may use an ssh tunnel or some such...I don't know and would have no way to know. | 19:59 |

| ojii | jrib, why? and i also tried the normal bin but didn't really get how that install should work | 20:08 |
| jrib | ojii: you can probably use dpkg -L name_of_package_you_installed in that case though. I know for a fact sun provides installation instructions on its website | 20:08 |
| * yxz97 why kicked me? | 20:08 | |
| * yxz97 I just wanted help | 20:08 | |

| Frank1 | yes | 20:11 |
| Frank1 | its dhcp | 20:11 |

| ubottu | Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 20:12 |
| Frank1 | howaya, yeah I did the SSID, need the BSSID | 20:12 |
| howaya | then on the security tab, choose your security type and password | 20:13 |
| howaya | no need for bssid | 20:13 |
| Frank1 | ok I added it | 20:13 |
| howaya | apply | 20:13 |

| EvilPenguin| | erUSUL: is there something to make unix programs run on ubuntu? | 20:47 |
| chawes | jrib: yes, I did, it said that there was nothing wrong with the disk and to press any key to reboot, which I did and tried the install again, to no avail. | 20:47 |

| erUSUL | EvilPenguin|: most unix programs do run in linux | 20:47 |

| chawes | jrib: so in infrarecorder should I just lower the speed from maximum to say, medium or something? the program doesn't do it in 2x or 4x , etc | 20:50 |

| alteneder | hallo!?! | 21:05 |
| Evet | mroc, i plugged out headphone :\ | 21:05 |
| ortsvorsteher | !hello | alteneder | 21:05 |
| ubottu | alteneder: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 21:05 |
| JONDAVIS | i dont know.i am not doing what the updater is what me to do | 21:06 |
| jats1 | JONDAVIS: Any error messages? | 21:06 |
| mroc | Evet: ah. well, that's not much of a solution then. did you check to see if the master volume is muted? (i.e. run alsamixer in terminal, check master volume level?) | 21:06 |
| Mithran | mroc: Is there a separate setting in your volume control for headphone volume, perhaps? | 21:06 |
| jats1 | jondavis: you're using Synaptic, I assume? | 21:07 |
| JONDAVIS | no error mesg thay just say wount insatll or cant | 21:07 |
| mroc | Mithran: i'm not entirely sure what all the options i have actually mean. nothing stood out as obvious to me. | 21:07 |
| JONDAVIS | yes i am useing the synaptic up dater | 21:07 |
| s3r3n1t7 | Every so many minutes a 4 will be typed, a literal 4. It is not caused by a broken keyboard and it also occurs on the liveCD. Windows does not have this problem. | 21:08 |
| JONDAVIS | so do i need to fuck up my os | 21:08 |
| Mithran | mroc: Ah. Thought I'd check, since I originally had a problem with that on my laptop. Didn't realize I had to set my headphone volume independently. | 21:08 |
| erUSUL | s3r3n1t7: i would report it as kernel bug... | 21:08 |
| Flannel | JONDAVIS: Please mind your language. And, what are you trying to do? | 21:08 |
| s3r3n1t7 | erUSUL: but I don't think I've done enough research into this bug to define it being a kernel bug, and to be honest I have no idea what information to add to the bug report. | 21:09 |
| thneed | can someone help me free up space on my / partition /dev/sda1? It only has 6.7g and is full. i am trying to get packages and fix things, but I cannot load gui | 21:09 |
| s3r3n1t7 | erUSUL: then again, neither do I know what kind of research I'd want to do for it. | 21:09 |
| JONDAVIS | every time the up dater need to be update'd not all of them are up dateing | 21:09 |
| romme | where are the QT configs stored? i've wiped ~/.qt, but it doesn't help | 21:09 |
| thneed | I am in recovery mode and /tmp is empty, I cannot apt-get clean, and I already removed packages | 21:09 |
| Flannel | s3r3n1t7: Just type up what you've said here, and then they'll ask you for waht you need (since they'll know) | 21:09 |
| thneed | what can I do? | 21:10 |
| JONDAVIS | how minny time do i need to tell yall | 21:10 |
| jats1 | JONDAVIS: I think if you click 'details' on the progress window it should tell you what's going on. | 21:10 |
| Flannel | JONDAVIS: Please pastebin the output of this: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade | 21:10 |

| Fretegi_1 | wireless problem here | 21:13 |
| s3r3n1t7 | Flannel: not a great fan of bug reports, generally only go for them as a last resort. They tend to take weeks if not longer. | 21:14 |
| ortsvorsteher | !details | Fretegi_1 | 21:14 |
| ubottu | Fretegi_1: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 21:14 |
| erUSUL | thneed: have you used Aplications>Accesories>disk us analizer ? is /var/ taking unusal large space ? | 21:14 |
| jats1 | thneed: try fslint. It looks for wasted space. You'll have to install it. | 21:14 |
| Flannel | JONDAVIS: open a terminal (applications > accessories > terminal), copy the following (stuff in the quotes): "sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get upgrade", copy the output (you'll be prompted for your password), paste it into this form in a web browser: http://paste.ubuntu.com/ hit "Paste!" on that site, and then you'll be taken to a new page, give us the URL of that page. | 21:15 |

| Fretegi_1 | got a ubuntu intrepid 64 bit, running a gateway laptop with realtek wireless card. it gets terrible reception and severe packet loss at minimal distance from router. Vista seems to do way better in terms of distance/quality of connection, read about ways to boost signal on wireless card.. how? | 21:15 |
| omarhu_ | Guys waht i need to write on SSID field? | 21:15 |
| erUSUL | omarhu_: the router's essid | 21:16 |
| JONDAVIS | it will not let me get the update that i need to get .i am at the update manager | 21:16 |
| jats1 | thneed: sorry didn't think about that. | 21:16 |
| omarhu_ | sorry but whre i find the router's essid? | 21:16 |
| Jaymac | omarhu_, on the back of the router maybe | 21:17 |
| Flannel | JONDAVIS: Yes, that's what we're solving. But we need information, those commands will give us that information. | 21:17 |
| jats1 | thneed: any large packages(especially games) you don't need? | 21:17 |
| omarhu_ | thanks | 21:17 |
| s3r3n1t7 | erUSUL: i've taken it to the ubuntu-bugs channel. Thanks for the responses, let's see what we can find about this bug. | 21:17 |
| Flannel | JONDAVIS: Also, close your update-manager if its open before running that command (and synaptic, etc) | 21:17 |
| erUSUL | s3r3n1t7: ok; good luck | 21:17 |
| thneed | jats1: ya, I removed most of them...there are two scummVM ones left | 21:17 |
| Fretegi_1 | any thoughts? | 21:17 |
| JONDAVIS | ok but then i will haft to up date it again | 21:17 |
| anymouse | omarhu_: you set it (or should have set it) - otherwise maybe try the configuration site of the router? (usually under http://<ip_of_the_router> ) | 21:17 |
| ScottG | When I type "iwconfig eth1" do the first 2 words show what kind of router I am connected to or does it show what kind of wifi card I have (regarding the abgn specifically)? | 21:18 |
| chawes | jrib: i made a new cd of the install and i used it and it said no defects, however i tried "install ubuntu" again and a loading screen came and went and i'm now stuck at a black screen with a little white line flashing at the top. it also told me "bios age 1999 does not meet cutoff (2000)". could that have something to do with it? | 21:18 |

| Stavros | hello | 21:18 |
| ElronMcBong | Hello there, I have just installed ubuntu on my new machine and was assuming my wireless card works out of the box. Searching for a solution I found some interesting intel here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1049309 . So I followed all the instructions and ndiswrapper says it has installed the correct driver (ag320) and some device (167B:2116) is present.. but the wlan0 interface simply does not show up. there is no er | 21:18 |
| Stavros | which package provides /usr/lib/openssl? | 21:18 |
| omarhu_ | cuse the are only MAC ADRESS | 21:18 |
| omarhu_ | e serial number | 21:18 |
| Jaymac | openssl-server | 21:18 |
| omarhu_ | wich one? | 21:18 |
| Flannel | JONDAVIS: What? That's not a problem. | 21:18 |
| JONDAVIS | it will not let me copey the update thats has faild | 21:18 |
| Fretegi_1 | omarhu, u settin up a new router? | 21:19 |
| thneed | erUSUL: /var is at 0.7%, but /home is at 100% | 21:19 |
| jats1 | thneed: if you need more free space temporarily you could move large files and move them back when you no longer need the space. For a longer term solution, you'll probably have to install an additional drive or replace your current drive. | 21:19 |
| JONDAVIS | it is not working | 21:19 |
| Flannel | !doesntwork | JONDAVIS | 21:20 |
| ubottu | JONDAVIS: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. | 21:20 |
| Stavros | Jaymac: that package doesn't exist... | 21:20 |
| blognewb | HI GUYS! ..im trying to upload files on filezilla, im logged via SFTP, but it won't let me upload, says "permission denied" :( chmod for that folder is 755... is it because im sftp? | 21:20 |
| chawes | or to the channel, i made a new cd of the install and i used it and it said no defects, however i tried "install ubuntu" again and a loading screen came and went and i'm now stuck at a black screen with a little white line flashing at the top. it also told me "bios age 1999 does not meet cutoff (2000)". could that have something to do with it? | 21:20 |
| Fretegi_1 | so anyone have any thoughts on limited range/quality of ubuntu wireless connection? | 21:20 |
| chawes | i'm trying to install ubuntu on a win98 | 21:20 |
| jats1 | JONDAVIS: just click and drag over the error message and right-click. Then select 'copy' | 21:20 |
| Jaymac | Stavros, oops was thinking openssh-server :o) | 21:20 |
| Flannel | JONDAVIS: you need to close update manager and then run those commands in the terminal. | 21:21 |
| Stavros | Jaymac: yeah :/ | 21:21 |
| Jaymac | Stavros, there is an openssl package | 21:21 |
| JONDAVIS | then give me them again | 21:21 |
| Flannel | JONDAVIS: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade | 21:21 |
| jats1 | chawes: I've never seen that message before. | 21:21 |
| Wast3d2009 | Is there any way to deinstall a specific package? | 21:22 |
| Stavros | Jaymac: i installed them all and nothing :/ | 21:22 |
| jats1 | chawes: try this, which I found at the ubuntu forums: "I updated the bios by downloading an update from the IBM website, and then I was able to load the live cd using no boot options" | 21:22 |
| chawes | jats1: i haven't either, i thought it was so odd to see something like that | 21:22 |
| Flannel | Wast3d2009: sudo apt-get remove package | 21:22 |
| Fretegi_1 | any thoughts on packet loss on wireless connection with ubuntu intrepid? | 21:22 |
| Wast3d2009 | Flannel i installed Gnome today with apt-get can you tell me the exact name? | 21:22 |

| JONDAVIS | will u tell me what to do | 21:25 |
| jats1 | chawes: you cannot boot into windows 98 at all? Then you'll have to use another computer to find it. The BIOS manufacturer should be displayed prominently when you boot your computer. When you search for your BIOS version + upgrade online, it should provide the necessary files + instructions. | 21:25 |
| hkais | how can I pin a package from the PPA? | 21:25 |
| Flannel | JONDAVIS: I already did. Go to that website, paste the output there, hit the "Paste!" button, and then give us the URL | 21:26 |
| chawes | jats1: i can boot into windows 98, its just that the computer cannot access the web. can i download the update from this computer and transfer it to the win98 machine? | 21:26 |
| oldude67 | chawes, if your doing a bios update yes, you can transfer it on a floppy. | 21:26 |
| blocktree | hi, why in the bash script I'm unable to store a PS1 value with oldPS1=$PS1, on the command line all works..thanks | 21:27 |
| phaer | firefox offers index.php me to download when i request it, but any other php file (search.php for example) gets executed on the server. index.php is executed as well but only when i request "/". | 21:27 |
| jats1 | chawes: certainly. you can probably just upgrade your BIOS and then restart the install. you could also try " boot action acpi=off apm=on" when booting. | 21:27 |
| oldude67 | chawes, but make sure you get the right up date for the motherboard you are upgrading. | 21:27 |
| chawes | oldude67: then there lies a problem, I do not have a floppy drive on this laptop. is it transferable by any other removable media? | 21:27 |
| oldude67 | chawes, only if it will boot from a usb, if not try doing what jats1 said | 21:28 |
| JONDAVIS | ok i guess this is what u need paste.ubuntu.com | 21:28 |

| Topunit | hi | 21:39 |
| chawes | jats1: i'm trying it now, we'll see how far it gets | 21:39 |
| Topunit | aptitude search '~i' | 21:39 |
| Flannel | JONDAVIS: I don't know, since they haven't. The next time it happens, take a screenshot or something, and come back. | 21:39 |
| Flannel | Wast3d2009: dpkg -l | 21:39 |
| jats1 | chawes: if it was displaying the bios message before and it isn't now then it should be okay. Or were you able to install, but not to boot into it? | 21:39 |
| omarhu__ | nobody? | 21:39 |
| omarhu__ | i'm adding a new wireless connection | 21:40 |
| omarhu__ | Guys waht i need to write on SSID field? | 21:40 |
| Flannel | Wast3d2009: Or you can use synaptic if you'd rather have a GUI | 21:40 |
| Fretegi_1 | no one knows about boosting wireless device on laptop in ubuntu?? | 21:40 |
| pwh | omarhu_: whatever your wirless router tells you is the ssid. im doing it now too, not much luck, lost all connections | 21:40 |
| chawes | jats1: it didn't show the bios message this time, hopefully it will work | 21:40 |
| jats1 | chawes: it should work, unless there is an another, unrelated error. | 21:41 |
| Topunit | why does sftp only work with root? on other users it says failed to initalize server | 21:41 |
| VonZERO | hello folks | 21:41 |

| jats1 | Topunit: I assume it has something to do with your permissions. | 21:41 |
| k-one-ay | hallo | 21:41 |

| Fretegi_1 | omarhu.... r u setting up a new router? | 21:43 |
| Fretegi_1 | omarhu if so what kind? | 21:44 |
| chawes | jats1: ok, it is stuck at a black screen with a white cursor line-mark thing flashing in the top-left corner | 21:44 |
| jats1 | you may need to add yourself to the 'sftp' user group. I don't know exactly how permissions are managed for sftp. | 21:44 |
| pwh | omarju_: usually they have a web interface.....but you need to be able to see it from another machine, or use the wired connection | 21:44 |
| phaer | firefox offers index.php me to download when i request it, but any other php file (search.php for example) gets executed on the server. index.php is executed as well but only when i request "/". | 21:44 |
| jats1 | chawes: did the installer reboot your computer? | 21:44 |
| phaer | how can i fix this? | 21:44 |
| s3r3n1t7 | JONDAVIS: please stop wispering me. If you have questions, put them on 1 line in this channel, not in a private wisper. | 21:44 |
| JONDAVIS | i dont know why my pc is runing slow | 21:45 |
| omarhu__ | cause i installed the drivers but it says impossible to find a network configurator | 21:45 |
| chawes | jats1: no it didn't. i got to a screen with the ubuntu logo and a loading bar bouncing back and forth and then this black screen | 21:45 |
| jonrafkind | what is ubuntu-desktop and why is it tied to pulseaudio ? | 21:45 |
| Fretegi_1 | omarhu... what is it your trying to do specifically? | 21:45 |
| oldude67 | chawes, how much memory does this computer have? | 21:45 |
| jats1 | chawes: it should have installed and configured X.org along with GNOME and not just left you with no graphical interface. | 21:46 |
| Fretegi_1 | setting up a wireless network is not very difficult.. must be a communication issue between us | 21:46 |
| JONDAVIS | will some one tell me | 21:46 |
| chawes | oldude67: it has 5 gigabytes free | 21:46 |
| Fretegi_1 | jondavis, tell u what? | 21:46 |
| chawes | jats1: so what should i do? | 21:46 |
| JONDAVIS | y is my pc is runing slow | 21:46 |

| JONDAVIS | how can i tell | 21:46 |

| jats1 | chawes: oldude67 is right, you may not have enough memory. | 21:46 |
| Wast3d2009 | Guys | 21:47 |

| Wast3d2009 | I got a great bug lol... | 21:47 |
| Wast3d2009 | I installed Ubuntu-destkop | 21:47 |
| JONDAVIS | i think i may have downlounding a lot of stuff | 21:47 |
| Wast3d2009 | And now my server is using 2GB Ram | 21:47 |
| jats1 | JONDAVIS: has been been slowing down? Or has it been slow since you installed Ubuntu? | 21:47 |
| JONDAVIS | like movies | 21:47 |
| Wast3d2009 | and before he used 400 MB | 21:47 |
| === igoogleit is now known as Mion | ||
| chawes | jats1: i have to log into windows to find that out, i do not know | 21:47 |
| Wast3d2009 | Is there any way to get rid of this? | 21:47 |
| Wast3d2009 | i want to remove the whole destkop again... | 21:47 |
| Topunit | why does sftp server only work with root? on other users it says failed to initalize server anyone? | 21:48 |
| JONDAVIS | jatsl .;.....no it was not ruing slow when i install ubuntu 9.04 | 21:48 |
| JONDAVIS | i am not sure if it has to do witch that i am downlounding video | 21:48 |
| Wast3d2009 | No one can help me on my problem? | 21:48 |
| Flannel | Wast3d2009: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureKDE There's some package lists at the bottom that'll remove gnome stuffs (you'll also want to remove X stuff too) | 21:48 |
| JONDAVIS | i have about 30 songs and about 4 movies | 21:49 |
| chawes | jats1: it is a compaq presario running windows 98 so I'm guessing not a lot of ram | 21:49 |
| Wast3d2009 | Flannel which one i have to use?= | 21:49 |
| JONDAVIS | but it is tell me that i have a lot of free space | 21:49 |
| Flannel | Wast3d2009: Whichever one is appropriate for your version of Ubuntu | 21:50 |
| Pvpeter | My hamachi can't log in, it just says logging in... failed. I have ufw disabled | 21:50 |
| JONDAVIS | will yall just tell me ok | 21:50 |
| jats1 | chawes: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements | 21:50 |
| jats1 | topunit: try googling 'sftp permissions' | 21:50 |
| JONDAVIS | 'i have topuld yall what i need | 21:50 |
| Flannel | JONDAVIS: No, those contents of your harddrive aren't making your computer slow. | 21:50 |
| Flannel | !patience | JONDAVIS | 21:50 |
| ubottu | JONDAVIS: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. | 21:50 |
| Baldrick | JONDAVIS: Go to Applications>Accessories>Terminal | 21:50 |
| Wast3d2009 | Flannel i did this apt-get Ubuntu-Destkop today | 21:50 |
| helper | heys, need to ask PS3 ( use for output terminal) ? | 21:50 |
| JONDAVIS | ok got it up | 21:50 |
| Baldrick | JONDAVIS: type top and press enter | 21:50 |
| JONDAVIS | noww hat | 21:51 |
| Wast3d2009 | Flannel on a 8.04 TLC ubuntu release | 21:51 |
| Flannel | Wast3d2009: Then Hardy is your version | 21:51 |
| chawes | jats1: well, thank you for your help anyways. the computer has 56mb ram which isn't enough | 21:51 |
| Topunit | jats1 i did, it shows stuff about file permissions, none related to login permmisions | 21:51 |
| chawes | oldude67: thank you as well, too | 21:51 |
| Baldrick | JONDAVIS: what process do you see at the top of the list? | 21:51 |
| JONDAVIS | ok and then what | 21:51 |
| ricdanger | does anyone know if the new 8.04.3 supports new e1000e cards? | 21:51 |
| oldude67 | chawes, np and your welcome | 21:51 |
| Topunit | i'll search for user permissions | 21:52 |
| JONDAVIS | i am not sure | 21:52 |
| jats1 | chawes: you will have to go for a distribution that is smaller and uses less memory than Ubuntu. Tiny Core is one I can think of off the top of my head, but it is not user friendly. | 21:52 |
| JONDAVIS | i see a lot of numbers runing | 21:52 |
| chawes | jats1: thank you :) | 21:52 |
| Wast3d2009 | Flannel thanks alot... Sorry i just started Ubuntu today | 21:52 |
| s3r3n1t7 | chawes: xubuntu isn't light enough? (haven't followed the conv) | 21:52 |
| Wast3d2009 | Flannel and currently i preffer to learn it through commands than GUI | 21:52 |
| oldude67 | chawes, there is also dsl which is a debian based linux version as well. | 21:52 |
| jats1 | chases: you're welcome. Good luck. Xubuntu may be light enough. | 21:53 |
| JONDAVIS | well | 21:53 |
| Baldrick | JONDAVIS: Under the word COMMAND there should be a program name | 21:53 |
| chawes | jats1: i will try dsl and look into xubuntu | 21:53 |
| Alvinware | Who use snort? | 21:53 |
| Gnea | snort users | 21:54 |
| JONDAVIS | there or a lot of programs | 21:54 |
| Gnea | !ask | Alvinware | 21:54 |
| ubottu | Alvinware: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 21:54 |
| enrique | hi | 21:54 |
| enrique | hepl plz | 21:54 |
| JONDAVIS | \under command | 21:54 |
| Alvinware | Gnea, You a Snort user? | 21:54 |
| Gnea | !helpme | enrique | 21:54 |
| ubottu | enrique: 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 | 21:54 |
| Gnea | Alvinware: just ask your question. | 21:54 |
| enrique | Xorg hang when i using radeon driver | 21:54 |
| Fretegi_1 | how do you boost the power to a wireless card in ubuntu? | 21:54 |
| Baldrick | JONDAVIS: Yes there are... my though is that the one at the top is using much more CPU than the others. What is the one at the top? | 21:55 |
| Alvinware | Gnea, Is snort a detection, or prevention system? | 21:55 |
| Gnea | Alvinware: detection. | 21:55 |
| JONDAVIS | it is ktorrent | 21:55 |
| Flannel | Wast3d2009: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal has some good information on normal commands, also https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/index.html might be of some help too | 21:55 |
| jats1 | JONDAVIS: you will probably see a few process that are at the top or the list frequently, make a note of them and come back. or try typing "ps aux|tail" and telling us what programs it lists. | 21:56 |
| Fretegi_1 | anyone know how to boost power to wireless card in laptop? | 21:56 |
| Baldrick | JONDAVIS: what is the listed %CPU number for that program? | 21:56 |
| JONDAVIS | I SAID IT IS KTorrent | 21:56 |
| pablin | install error flashplayerplugin ubuntu 8.04 | 21:56 |
| JONDAVIS | that is the first | 21:56 |
| Alvinware | Gnea, But Snort web page have stated prevention too? What's the duration for a Snort rules update? Because of free Snort rules will only last 30 days, right? | 21:56 |
| Blehk | Is there anyway to append info to your crontab? ex: crontab -e < "* * * * * user app command"? | 21:57 |
| megra | Fretegi_1, you want to improve your wireless connection by increasing the power ? | 21:57 |
| Blehk | in a single line (without entering crontab) | 21:57 |
| Gnea | Alvinware: #snort would be a better place to ask | 21:57 |
| Fretegi_1 | yes | 21:57 |
| enrique | ati radeon 9200 | 21:57 |
| Fretegi_1 | there is a way to do that | 21:57 |
| enrique | Ubuntu 9.04 | 21:57 |
| JONDAVIS | it was 3 not it is saying 5 | 21:57 |
| Fretegi_1 | i have issues with packet loss and poor connection in ubunty | 21:57 |
| Fretegi_1 | ubuntu* | 21:57 |
| Baldrick | JONDAVIS: And what percentage of CPU usage does it consume - listed under %CPU ? | 21:57 |
| Alvinware | Gnea, Yeah, i know, but not active as here, and are you really a Snort user? | 21:57 |
| JONDAVIS | %pcu 4 5 3 | 21:58 |
| Flannel | Blehk: The way to do it is to list it, send it (with new stuff appended) to a file, and then set it with crontab | 21:58 |
| JONDAVIS | that is juming | 21:58 |
| megra | Fretegi_1, no you can't, but you can buy a better antenna or get closer to your router | 21:58 |
| Fretegi_1 | ubuntu works about 10% as good as vista | 21:58 |
| Flannel | Blehk: crontab will accept a file as input, or stdin, and set that as a crontab (replacing the old one) | 21:58 |
| JONDAVIS | well] | 21:59 |
| Fretegi_1 | i have boosted power to wireless card before.. was long ago.. cant remember how .. | 21:59 |
| Blehk | Alright, cool deal. thanks Flannel | 21:59 |
| Baldrick | JONDAVIS: Sorry - can't help | 21:59 |
| Fretegi_1 | same version of ubuntu.. trying to rebuild a drive after a drive crash | 21:59 |
| Alvinware | Fretegi, You using vista too? | 21:59 |
| jats1 | JONDAVIS: if you use "ps aux|tail" it will give you a snapshot, instead of a constantly updating screen. The columns are in a different order, however. | 21:59 |
| syntax | How do you remove a item and its foldier in terminal | 22:00 |

| erUSUL | syntax: rm -r folder/ | 22:00 |
| Fretegi_1 | i have a dual boot laptop, vista 32 bit and ubuntu intrepid 64 bit | 22:00 |
| Gnea | Alvinware: I use it a bit, but again, this is #ubuntu, where the emphasis is on Ubuntu. The information you request on snort is a bit more specialised. Not showing patience is the same as showing disrespect. I can only tell you that snort does detection, since it can't, by itself, prevent. | 22:00 |

| JONDAVIS | /home/jon/Screenshot.png | 22:03 |
| Hilikus | Lein: so it depends how many different kernels you want to have at a time | 22:03 |
| dgs | does grub still /boot to be on ext2 (or rather, something that's not on ext3) | 22:03 |
| erUSUL | Lein: /dev/sda2 494M 39M 430M 9% /boot <<<< tha's my boot | 22:03 |
| Gnea | jdobrien: again, asking in #ubuntu+1 will get you the answer quicker | 22:03 |

| Hilikus | erUSUL: i never said what takes the most space is in /boot | 22:07 |
| erUSUL | Wast3d2009: use htop ; hit M to order processes by memory usage | 22:07 |
| Hilikus | i said on /boot each kernel takes around 50MB. based on my system | 22:07 |
| Wast3d2009 | erUSUL it says he dont know the command | 22:08 |
| erUSUL | Hilikus: 23:02 < Hilikus> Lein: i think each kernel takes like 50MB <<<< not in boot. in boot each kernel takes ~10 MiB | 22:08 |

| edz | hi | 22:10 |
| s3r3n1t7 | jhannan: it is on the alternate install. Don't think there is on the desktop. | 22:10 |
| jhannan | alternate install (server)? | 22:11 |
| owen1 | how come i see ads even when using adblock? http://blog.guykawasaki.com | 22:11 |
| s3r3n1t7 | jhannan: there's a desktop, alternate and server installation. I think you can set a tick to get the alternate CD. | 22:11 |
| Hilikus | erUSUL: the first link for !memory is broken | 22:11 |
| s3r3n1t7 | !alternate | jhannan | 22:11 |

| Alarm | hello . when doing an fsck is there any risk of harming my fs or general the entire os ? | 22:17 |
| ootput | Hi guys, just installed ubuntu after years of manual tinkering | 22:18 |
| bucky | Alvinware: Purple IRC ? | 22:18 |
| ootput | is it possible to have all volumes available automatically mounted at boot? rather than when i double click it? | 22:18 |
| Flannel | bucky: libpurple is what pidgin uses | 22:18 |
| jm2 | Alarm - be sure you don't have your drive mounted when running fsck | 22:18 |
| Hilikus | ootput: yes, add an entry for each one in /etc/fstab | 22:18 |
| erUSUL | Alarm: depends on the state of the filesystem... | 22:18 |
| Alarm | how can i do that jm2 ? | 22:18 |
| Hilikus | !fstab | ootput | 22:18 |
| ubottu | ootput: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 22:18 |
| j2k | mdg: iirc you can tell the usb creator whether it should also be persistent, i.e., on creation it will ask you how much space you will allocate to the distro on the disk | 22:18 |
| Alarm | i mean how can i unmount the partition i am running the os to check it ? | 22:19 |
| ootput | Hilikus: how do i form each entry? is there a way i can copy how it's mounted dynamically? | 22:19 |
| mdg | j2k: thanks for the clarification :) | 22:19 |
| mdg | much appreciated! | 22:19 |
| j2k | mdg: np :) | 22:19 |
| Flannel | Alarm: The easiest way to do it is at boot, if you sudo touch /forcefsck and then reboot, it'll fsck during boot, before things are mounted | 22:19 |
| Hilikus | ootput: follow the links i gave you. you can't copy it exactly but you do pretty much the same thing with the options | 22:19 |
| Alarm | Flannel, any parameters needed in /forcefsck ? | 22:20 |
| Alarm | like -r | 22:20 |
| jm2 | Alarm - read about the umount command. umount /dev/???? | 22:20 |
| kyja | ootput, there is also a python gui named mountmanager that should do nicley for configureing what ever you want | 22:20 |
| Flannel | Alarm: that's just a file. sudo touch /forcefsck creates a file "forcefsck" in your root (/), alternatively, there's a parameter you can give to shutdown which will create that file and then shutdown... -F I believe | 22:20 |
| ^cheeky | hi, if i have cd . and i think its is scratched and i was wondering if i could back up this cd into another iso image and burn it onto a working cd rom drive. coz when i try to install from the cd i have it gives me and error | 22:21 |
| kyja | oh perhaps its not python | 22:21 |
| Alarm | okie thank you | 22:21 |
| kyja | heh well its nice | 22:21 |
| erUSUL | Hilikus: the facoid have been updated. | 22:21 |
| Flannel | Alarm: When linux boots, it checks for that file, if it sees it, it'll fsck. Alternatively, if it sees /fastboot, it'll skip a fsck, even if there was one scheduled for regularly scheduled maintenence | 22:21 |

| zleap | or have you checked that | 22:31 |
| zleap | can you run from the terminal | 22:31 |

| ubottu | To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork | 22:51 |
| windmill | if I've just made a file system on a partition will the UUID change? | 22:51 |

| Fretegi_1 | is there a better ubuntu room for wireless issues? | 22:52 |
| Ddorda | hey. i'm looking for a webcam server and webcam client that can watch many webcams together.. anyone..? | 22:52 |
| kerm|t | i turned off 'dim display when idle' but it's still doing it, and when i type it doesnt come back at full brightness either | 22:52 |
| lstarnes | Fretegi_1: this is the main one | 22:52 |

| lstarnes | Fretegi_1: which model? | 22:52 |
| lancerocke | ubuntu doesnt remember anything at startup even if i tell it to in 'startup applications' i set pidgin to remember what status i had on startup and it doesnt remember that either. if i ask ubuntu to remember what applications i had open it doesnt remember that either. someone suggested that i pick the session on boot but that doesnt work. any ideas? | 22:52 |
| Fretegi_1 | RTL8102e | 22:53 |

| fergal32 | hi | 22:53 |
| Fretegi_1 | gatway laptop | 22:53 |
| lstarnes | Fretegi_1: I mean for the card | 22:53 |

| lancerocke | joebodo, no | 22:53 |
| Wast3d2009 | Flannel i got a idea... I disabled all the Auto Startup files... This should prevent the entire GUI and Xfiles top stop loading up right? | 22:53 |
| Fretegi_1 | someone in here had me tweak something to boost the signal and it worked GREAT | 22:53 |
| Flannel | Wast3d2009: You just need to stop gdm from starting, but yeah. | 22:53 |
| lancerocke | erUSUL, do u know how i can fix it? | 22:54 |
| Fretegi_1 | jsut reloaded ubuntu.. and forgot how i did it | 22:54 |
| bucky | we need an alzheimers linux | 22:54 |
| Wast3d2009 | Flannel you know i have enough space... as long it prevents that these features use all my ram... | 22:54 |

| syntax | Also in terminal..I left that out..Im tryin to do it in terminal | 22:59 |
| kad_ | syntax, cp -R /test /test | 22:59 |
| kad_ | or syntax cp -R /test /home/syntax/test2 | 22:59 |
| erUSUL | syntax: check a good terminal tutorial and read it... | 22:59 |
| erUSUL | !cli | syntax | 22:59 |
| ubottu | syntax: 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 | 22:59 |
| syntax | thx | 23:00 |
| erUSUL | syntax: begin with https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 23:00 |
| b3rz3rk3r | syntax, your best bet is to read the manual pages: try this: man cp | 23:00 |
| bucky | kad_: are you getting any errors on it in /var/log/mail.log | 23:01 |
| Mka | windmill: solved your UUID problem yet? | 23:01 |
| windmill | Mka, nope | 23:01 |
| windmill | Mka, they still report different UUIDs | 23:01 |
| syntax | Will do | 23:01 |
| syntax | btw that cp -r worked wonders and it made its own foldier | 23:02 |
| syntax | I like that | 23:02 |
| Mka | windmill: what is the type of your filesystem? | 23:02 |
| windmill | Mka, trying to figure out which one is right | 23:02 |
| kad_ | bucky, http://pastebin.com/m3c1e77b5 | 23:02 |
| windmill | Mka, ext3 | 23:02 |
| Lein | Swap should = ram, is that still recommend? | 23:03 |
| Mka | windmill: did you try "tune2fs -l /dev/sda? | grep UUID"? | 23:03 |
| koltroll | Guys. Suddenly there's alot of applications that won't start, and alot of things just crashes. When I start them up from terminal I'm getting "Segment fault". | 23:03 |
| windmill | Mka, I didn't know about that | 23:04 |
| Flannel | Lein: swap = 2X ram up until about 2GB of swap, and then swap = RAM if you need to hibernate, if you dont... 1x or less | 23:04 |
| koltroll | I would've tried googling, but since I cant start firefox it's a no no ;/ | 23:04 |
| koltroll | I've also tried installing lynx for some goold old console browsing, but wasn't allowed to install due to segment fault. | 23:04 |
| scaine | Lein: Think that's the recommendation still, but generally, you only need to match your RAM with your swap if you think you're going to use Hibernation. Otherwise, a gig or so should be plenty swap... | 23:04 |
| anymouse | koltroll: I would suggest you run a memtest - especially if you added Ram to your system | 23:04 |
| erUSUL | koltroll: could be hw related? bad ram? voltage spikes recently ? | 23:04 |
| bucky | kad_: see this part Host not found | 23:04 |
| scaine | Lein : Yep, Flannel beat me to it! | 23:05 |
| lancerocke | erUSUL, their issues dont apply to me | 23:05 |
| koltroll | anymouse, have not added any ram. | 23:05 |
| kad_ | bucky, now i did add /etc/hosts kad.localhost and kad.localdomain and restart postfix and try to send again same | 23:05 |
| koltroll | how do I do a memtest, anymouse and erUSUL ? | 23:05 |

| koltroll | erUSUL, Actually I've been on battery all day. | 23:05 |
| bucky | kad_: there are a couple of fixes | 23:05 |
| Lein | Flannel, scaine: ty, i got 4gb of ddr3. and plan on useing hibernation since it's a laptop | 23:06 |
| kad_ | bucky, although hosname = kad and i'm trying to send via root@kad so why this look : to=<root@kad.localdomain>, | 23:06 |
| koltroll | so there shouldn't been any voltage spikes. But perhaps the problem in reality started yesterday. Hard to tell. | 23:06 |
| windmill | Mka, that matches the output from vol_id.... I wonder where blkid gets it's info | 23:06 |
| Flannel | Lein: Then yeah, you'll need at least 4GB | 23:06 |
| erUSUL | koltroll: to do memetest just reboot and choose it from the grub menu | 23:06 |
| scaine | Lein : Ouch! Think you're looking at 4Gb then... | 23:06 |
| bucky | kad_: http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Ubuntu/2006-02/msg00491.html or http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-27692.html keep track of your changes in case you need to back out of them | 23:06 |

| bucky | kad_: that might work.. i haven't set this up lately | 23:07 |
| Mka | windmill: But "tune2fs" has to be correct at least for ext2 and ext3 | 23:08 |

| scaine | KyleL, th0r : Ubuntu's remote desktop is based on VNC (5900), I think, not RDP (3389) | 23:13 |
| th0r | scaine: right...I was just about to point that out to KyleL | 23:13 |
| KyleL | ok | 23:13 |
| Lein | scaine: thanx, it's ok i'll just check there site. think i'll go twith 5gb of swap that should be more then enough | 23:13 |
| scaine | KyleL : Probably you don't want to open that port up on your router though... asking for constant hack attacks if you do. | 23:14 |
| Lein | hiberation takes about 3.5 or so is that right? | 23:15 |
| erUSUL | JoseMPC: /topic | 23:15 |
| scaine | KyleL : Better off running SSH on your box ( on a random high port), then fowarding your VNC inside an SSH tunnel. Very secure. | 23:15 |
| aoirthoir | any suggestions on how to prevent Ubuntu from loading a music player as a music player, rather than as a USB drive so we can format it? | 23:15 |

| scaine | Lein : Yeah, what b3rz3rk3r said. 5Gb will be awesome. Even if you're using a lot of swap (which you won't with 4Gb), you'll still have plenty of room for Hibernate. | 23:19 |

| ytcracker | hauppahe.. | 23:22 |
| b3rz3rk3r | Lein, like Flannel just said, if you are worried about it and you have disk space to burn.. add more. otherwise, leave it as 4Gb and if you run into trouble use Gparted to add more :) gotta love linux | 23:22 |
| ytcracker | hmm. | 23:22 |
| goku12205 | you know in gdb u run a program and then type BREAK MAIN with no caps what does the results mean? | 23:22 |
| ytcracker | thanks. | 23:22 |
| th0r | al_x: there is only runlevel 2 and single user, it isn't like suse or fedora | 23:22 |
| erUSUL | al_x: by default all runlevels in ubuntu/debian are equal (except 1,5,6 of course) | 23:22 |
| al_x | how do i keep X from starting | 23:23 |
| al_x | its locking the system | 23:23 |
| pccc | Hey, I'm writing a script where I want to tarball a directory, and then delete the directory and keep the tarball. How do I verify that the tar succeeded before removing the original directory? | 23:23 |
| th0r | al_x: the only option is single user mode | 23:23 |
| erUSUL | al_x: so there is little point on setting any other runlevel unless you modify defaults of course | 23:23 |
| Lunis | Ok I have a bit of a problem. I have versions of packages installed that are higher than what's in the Jaunty repos. I need to downgrade each package that is installed beyond the version available in the Jaunty repo to the version that _is_ in the Jaunty repo. | 23:23 |
| erUSUL | !pinning | 23:23 |
| th0r | al_x: once in single user, you could disable X from starting | 23:23 |
| al_x | there must be a way to prevent X from starting while retaining the ability to use multiple VTs | 23:23 |
| ubottu | pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto | 23:23 |

| boss_mc | goku12205: it tells gdb to set a break point (a point to stop) at the 'main' procedure (i.e. the first point of the program) | 23:24 |
| erUSUL | al_x: boot into recovery mode (single user) disable X « update-rc.d -f gdm remove » reboot | 23:24 |

| al_x | okay thanks ill try that | 23:24 |
| scaine | Lein : Then go for it. Or, as... someone... said earlier, leave a little unused space and if you need to expand your swap later, it's a breeze. | 23:24 |
| losher | pccc: check out the compare flag to tar. You can compare the archive to what's on disk. See also options xvf for a quick listing of your archive | 23:25 |
| th0r | tryggvib: it is /usr/sbin/sshd | 23:25 |
| pccc | losher: k thanks | 23:25 |
| erUSUL | Lein: you can allways add swap via swapfiles | 23:25 |
| Lunis | b3rz3rk3r, oh if only it were that easy. libgtk is one of the offending packages, which would cause apt to remove...well.....everything...before reinstalling | 23:25 |
| tryggvib | th0r: how do I start it? | 23:25 |
| tryggvib | I want to be able to ssh into the computer | 23:25 |

| belred | but when i searched for python in aptitude, i didn't see python-all unless i explicitly typed in python-all | 23:32 |
| al_x | wish me luck | 23:32 |
| gazoat | i guess installing the ia32-libs will help | 23:32 |
| belred | i'm using jaunty | 23:33 |
| al_x | hmm how do i set default display manager | 23:33 |
| al_x | i changed the path in /etc/X11/default-display-manager but gdm still says its not the default and therefore cannot start | 23:33 |

| fynn | Hey. Two Installation questions: | 23:36 |
| fynn | When I install Ubuntu from a CD, from scratch, it gives me the "Advanced Option" of not installing a boot loader. What are the advantages of that? | 23:36 |
| al_x | invoke-rc.d: initscript gdm, action reload failed | 23:36 |
| al_x | i got that when i ran dpkg-reconfigure gdm | 23:36 |
| erUSUL | al_x: maybe you need to readd it first.. sudo update-rc.d gdm defaults | 23:37 |
| boss_mc | fynn: if you already have a bootloader that you want to keep using (and is customisable to allow booting to your new ubuntu image) you can, otherwise let the installer install it's loader and it will auto detect the other operating systems available | 23:37 |
| haagar | has anyone else noticed that the latest version of flash released a couple days ago is even slower than normal? | 23:37 |
| fynn | boss_mc: I want this machine to be pure Ubuntu, so there's no dual-boot (i.e. no other OS installed) | 23:38 |
| boss_mc | fynn: then let it install its own bootloader (grub) | 23:38 |
| fynn | in fact, I've asked the installer to wipe out the drive completely and install only Ubuntu on it. | 23:38 |
| al_x | says startup links for gdm already exist | 23:38 |
| fynn | boss_mc: what if I don't? will it not be able to boot at all? | 23:38 |
| al_x | maybe the reconfigure worked? | 23:38 |
| boss_mc | fynn: that way it will auto update the loader when you get a new kernel etc | 23:38 |
| fynn | OK, that's something I want | 23:39 |
| boss_mc | fynn: if the disk is wiped then no, it won't boot and you'll need a superGrub disk/liveCD to fix it :) | 23:39 |
| boss_mc | fynn: = BAD THING! | 23:39 |
| fynn | another question: I want to install Ubuntu as the only partition on the drive | 23:39 |
| === desti_T2 is now known as desti | ||
| === MidsummerDawn is now known as BoxxyPenrNose | ||
| fynn | the problem is: Jaunty's installer only gives me 3 options | 23:39 |
| boss_mc | fynn: you can use manual to set up your own partitioning scheme | 23:39 |
| fynn | 1) install along the existing partitions, 2) "use the entire drive", 3) specify partitioning myself | 23:40 |
| boss_mc | fynn: 3 is manual | 23:40 |
| fynn | right, I want to, but I don't know how to set up things like swap partitions. | 23:40 |
| boss_mc | 2 would be one big partition using the whole drive | 23:40 |
| erUSUL | fynn: use the full automatic "use the whole drive" if there is no data there you want to keep | 23:40 |
| erUSUL | fynn: the installed will set up everything for you | 23:41 |
| erUSUL | fynn: be sure to select the correct drive... (if there is more than one attached to the computer) | 23:41 |
| fynn | erUSUL: yeah, I have two problems with that: I'd really like to _see_ what it's going to do, i.e. the full and exact partitioning plan it's going to apply to the drive. | 23:42 |
| fynn | (only one drive btw) | 23:42 |
| Lunis | anyone had any experience using karmic's repos by default in jaunty? | 23:42 |
| Flannel | Lunis: Don't do that. Mixing repos isn't a good thing. | 23:42 |
| erUSUL | fynn: choose manual and do the partitions yourself | 23:42 |
| erUSUL | fynn: one for root one for home an swap | 23:43 |
| fynn | erUSUL: right, except I'd rather know what I need to do :) | 23:43 |
| Lunis | Flannel, i only ask because i've heard some people do it without issues | 23:43 |
| fynn | erUSUL: so 1 for /, one for /home, and one for swap... but how big should each be? | 23:43 |
| Mka | how to ensure that I have the same user ID in different Ubuntu OS's on the same PC? I have intrepid and hardy and the user mysql has ID 117 on hardy and 113 on intrepid, 117 on intrepid is being used by mt-daapd | 23:43 |
| Flannel | Lunis: That doesn't make sense. They're basically running Karmic. | 23:43 |
| Lunis | Flannel, that's the point afaict | 23:43 |
| erUSUL | fynn: i would root == 15GiB swap = 1xram the rest for home | 23:44 |
| Mka | I am trying to have one mysql database filesystem | 23:44 |

| Xlrr8 | Hey guys, i have a graphics problem i wonder if you could help me with. I have a ati radeon hd 3450 with 512mb ram. If i setup the system as a single monitor and enable the ati hardware driver, the system performs great. However, if i enable dual head support and then enable the ati hardware driver, the system becomes completely unusable, even after running aticonfig --initial, Any suggestions ? | 23:47 |

| erUSUL | fynn: i dunno from the top of my head | 23:47 |
| Flannel | BeWop: What it's doing is crashing your X, which automatically restarts. | 23:47 |
| BeWop | Ah | 23:47 |
| BeWop | How can i fix this? | 23:47 |
| Flannel | BeWop: (its crashing, and taking X out with it) | 23:47 |
| BeWop | It's crashing even though I told it to quit? | 23:47 |
| Flannel | BeWop: I suppose? It might not be crashing, but X isn't liking whatever its doing. Check launchpad for a bug report, if there isn't one, file one. | 23:48 |
