| Cobra_Girl | yes | 00:14 |
| WormDrink | I have to honestly say | 00:14 |
| joeyeye | dumont: -iname is just case-insensitive form of -name. I think you need exec to call a script instead of unrar'ing in place | 00:14 |

| WormDrink | no honestly, I am real disappointed - its quite pathetic the fact that updates break like that - and I have run gentoo for allot longer on another system, sure updates takes longer, and involves more work, but the point is it works - this is just basically like a "I dont want a pc that works anymore, also throw in some totally random shit" | 00:20 |

| Spoink | Hello. I installed VirtualBox by double clicking it. How to uninstall? (1) Apps -> Add/Remove doesn't list it, (2) system->admin->synaptic doesn't show it as installed | 00:44 |
| jollyroger | Can anyone help me out here? | 00:44 |
| IndyGunFreak | Hasanibrahim: you typed probably 8 sentences after my question.. almost everything you said was irrelevant | 00:44 |
| Loafers | !ask | jollyroger | 00:44 |
| ubottu | jollyroger: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 00:44 |
| === Shinobi is now known as Guest94965 | ||
| bankix | Spoink: Where did you doubleclick? | 00:45 |
| Spoink | bankix: on the installer | 00:45 |
| Hasanibrahim | i entered http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ | 00:45 |
| bankix | Spoink: Which installer? | 00:45 |
| Hasanibrahim | than choose | 00:45 |
| Hasanibrahim | deb for ubuntu | 00:45 |
| jollyroger | I've ask the same question 3 times now and I keep getting ignored for the same guy not being able to figure out flash and not know any errors so I've kinda peeved. | 00:45 |
| bankix | Hasanibrahim: Ah. Why didn't you use the package provided with your distro? | 00:45 |
| innomen | trism, what is it with no one wnating to do things in bulk but me | 00:45 |
| Spoink | bankix: http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/2.2.0_BETA2/ VirtualBox-2.2.0_BETA2-45227-Linux_x86.run | 00:46 |
| Hasanibrahim | bankix: add/remove ?? | 00:46 |
| IndyGunFreak | bankix: he said he got an error, but has never mentioned that error. | 00:46 |
| innomen | trism, is there a way to cycle through fonts without clicking on each one? | 00:46 |
| jollyroger | Anyway, I get the error "DCOPClient::attachInternal. Attach failed Could not open network socket:DCOPClient" whenever I start firefox and it doesn't load it just freezes then the error pops up again. | 00:46 |
| jedc | jollyroger, i found a thread with your problem but no solution, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=380520 aparently running dcopserver will fix it temporarily... you need to give people time to figure things out | 00:46 |
| bankix | Spoink: Wasn't the version provided with Ubuntu not bleeding edge enough? | 00:46 |
| rpaddock | How do I lock a package so the update manager doesn't keep trying to update it? | 00:46 |
| bankix | Spoink: However, you have to locate and delete the files manually. | 00:47 |
| Hasanibrahim | IndyGunFreak: i mean i am getting same error "get the latest flash player" | 00:47 |
| bankix | Spoink: If you had used a package instead of that silly installers, this would be three clicks. | 00:47 |
| Spoink | bankix: is that all? no 'windows registry' type bollox? | 00:47 |
| jrib | !pinning | rpaddock | 00:47 |
| ubottu | rpaddock: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto | 00:47 |
| bankix | Spoink: There is no such thing as a registry. | 00:47 |
| arand | Spoink: My guess is that virtualbox provides an uninstaller with that one, finding it is another matter | 00:47 |
| IndyGunFreak | Hasanibrahim: type this w/o quotes.. you're way to hard to follow.. "/join #indygunfreak" | 00:47 |
| jollyroger | jedc: much obliged that was the problem I just updated from 8.04 to 8.10 and now to 9.04 so I thought something was borked in there. | 00:47 |

| innomen | trism, "Specimen Font Previewer" in the repos did what i needed | 00:49 |
| trism | innomen: I'm not sure, it may have some keyboard shortcuts, but it isn't clear what they are | 00:49 |
| jedc | jollyroger, did that work to fix the problem? if so you can have it run on startup, until you find a better fix | 00:49 |
| trism | innomen: I'll check it out | 00:49 |
| jollyroger | bankix: jedc already fixed the problem for me I was just thanking him. | 00:49 |
| innomen | trism, fontmatrix is more advanced than i needed | 00:49 |
| bankix | Hasanibrahim: There is a flash test page at the adobe website. Does that work. | 00:49 |
| innomen | trism, what i want oo should have done as part of the drag drop | 00:49 |
| innomen | trism, err drop down | 00:50 |
| Hasanibrahim | bankix: no :( | 00:50 |
| jollyroger | jedc: I always had dcopserver running in 8.04 but apparently 9.04 doesn't do that. | 00:50 |
| jedc | ah | 00:50 |
| Spoink | Loafers: Thx! Is there a way to list all installed packages? | 00:50 |
| bankix | Hasanibrahim: Which processor type and installation (32 bit / 64 bit) do you use? And are there any Firefox plugins like noscript etc? | 00:50 |
| jollyroger | Well thank you everyone and have a pleasant day. | 00:51 |
| Shoe | Are there any programs I can get from Add/Remove that are almost exactly like iTunes? Because I have music, video, podcasts, and other stuff for my iPod | 00:51 |
| Hasanibrahim | there is no plugin about flash and i am using 32 bit | 00:51 |

| jedc | Shoe, if it is an ipod touch or an iphone there is less support i believe | 00:53 |
| Hasanibrahim | no bankix :( | 00:53 |

| Loafers | Spoink, :) But I wish i knew a way to do a search for an installed program without looking at the entire list | 00:55 |
| Shoe | thanks jedc and Dr_Willis | 00:55 |
| Spoink | Loafers: grep? | 00:55 |
| Othor | computer, you may be wanting the setting manager for compiz - sudo apt-get install ccsm | 00:56 |
| Spoink | Loafers: hmm this just shows what Synaptic shows. it doesnt list virtualbox | 00:56 |
| Loafers | Spoink, I think if you do sudo aptitude search virtualbox it will list whats instaleld and whats not | 00:56 |
| bankix | Loafers: "dpkg -l name|grep ^ii" will list you only the installed packages. | 00:56 |
| Shoe | jedc | 00:56 |
| Shoe | I think you misspelled it | 00:56 |
| jedc | Shoe, nope, if it couldnt find it then you probably dont have universe enabled, you can enable it from System->Administration->Software Sources | 00:58 |
| arand | Spoink: That's the crux, if you use the .run installer it operates outwith the packaging system, and all the organization goodness is lost. | 00:58 |

| ubottu | MidasManchu: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 01:02 |
| bankix | Hilikus: The graph shows you which process is running over what time. From top to bottom is the order of the processes, from left to right the time they started and they were running. | 01:02 |

| MidasManchu | Loafers, I've already checked out those docs, but figuring out which adaptor is comaptible with which spec isn't overly obvious. | 01:03 |
| Loafers | bankix, Just could you explain the command? So far what I udnerstand is debian package manager list searched name, but what does the ^ii do? | 01:03 |
| Hilikus | bankix: that much i know, but how can i tell which ones are slowing down the process, some of them run in paralell while some seem to block the progress | 01:03 |
| bankix | Hilikus: Maybe puzzeling is that bootchart also shows you the initrd processes. | 01:03 |

| bankix | Loafers: Due you only wanted installed packages, you use "grep ^ii" which searches for "ii" at the beginning of the line. | 01:05 |
| bankix | Hilikus: That's not easy to tell. | 01:06 |
| bankix | Hilikus: Look for single processes taking long time, then you'll have your time eaters. | 01:06 |
| Hilikus | bankix: that's the thing, you can't really tell what's long time | 01:06 |
| Loafers | bankix, Ic. what does the asterisk do? | 01:06 |
| bankix | Hilikus: The more you look on the upper left, the more single processes you'll find. | 01:06 |
| bankix | Loafers: Asterisk is a wildcard. "dpkg -l fire*" will list you all packages starting with "fire". | 01:07 |
| Hilikus | some just stay there the whole time, but they don't block anything | 01:07 |
| Loafers | bankix, ok thanks a bunch! | 01:07 |

| xps9000 | ubuntu: Just curious, are you running any form of RAID? | 01:38 |
| bankix | koolkat: What did I tell you to do? I told you to start system-config-samba and configure your shares. | 01:38 |
| bankix | koolkat: Why do you expect installing a configuration tool will read your mind and do whatever you intended? | 01:39 |
| bankix | Hilikus: That's the one. | 01:39 |
| bankix | koolkat: You'll find system-config-samba in your system settings menu. | 01:40 |

| bankix | koolkat: Good. What workgroup do you use in the server settings? | 01:43 |
| xps9000 | ProfOak: I am sure there is away, make sure you are using a multi session setting on the burner. Though, personally, I have not tried. | 01:43 |
| koolkat | bankix: workgroup | 01:44 |
| bankix | ProfOak: Do you mean something like putting three or four .iso images onto one CD and select then which to boot? | 01:44 |
| bankix | koolkat: Is that the workgroup of your windows machines? | 01:44 |
| ProfOak | bankix: Yes | 01:44 |
| |kosh| | screenshot: http://donlindsay.wordpress.com/2009/08/11/one-three-three-t/ | 01:45 |
| bankix | ProfOak: Then a multisession CD is no help. | 01:45 |
| ProfOak | bankix: I figured | 01:45 |
| bankix | ProfOak: This would mix up the files of the isos. | 01:45 |
| koolkat | bankix: that's the workgroup of all my machines | 01:45 |
| bankix | ProfOak: When I tried it last time, there was no solution to boot several .iso from one CD/DVD, sorry. | 01:45 |
| filgy | if I have a directory listing from ls where a directory has a background color of green, what does that mean? | 01:46 |
| bankix | ProfOak: The problem is there would have to be some emulator or hypervisor mapping the .iso to a (virtual) optical drive. | 01:46 |
| Dark_Wolf | Anyone have experience with SANE backends? | 01:46 |
| filgy | does it mean it is other writable ? | 01:46 |
| ProfOak | bankix: there's actually a project that does this, but all the distros are out of date | 01:46 |

| bankix | ProfOak: Interesting! Could you post a link to that (even outdated) project? | 01:47 |
| filgy | ok yeah it looks like if a directory listing has a background color of green from ls in ubuntu... it means the dir is other user writable | 01:47 |
| Hilikus | bankix: that didn't do it. the wpa daemon is still running | 01:47 |
| bankix | koolkat: I did set up a share just a few days ago using system-config-samba, and there were no problems. | 01:48 |
| bankix | koolkat: Strange. | 01:48 |
| ProfOak | bankix: Sure, it's called "Multi Iso LiveDVD Security" If you search that (for future references) that would yield results | 01:48 |

| jiralface | okay. i just installed ubuntu on my desktop, and i'm in the process of getting my wireless card to work. i'm using ndiswrapper. got the driver installed and the alias written | 01:48 |

| bankix | koolkat: Not only editing the router firewall, but also install port forwarding for the mentioned samba ports. | 01:56 |
| losher | zefyx: running /usr/bin/vncserver is not the same as running /etc/init.d/vncserver. Does the latter work? | 01:56 |
| filgy | koolkat: is it a home network running with a 'multiport' consumer router or an actual router | 01:56 |
| mazda01_ | if a ./configure runs once but warns of not having libhal-storage-dev and libhal-storage1 can i run ./configure again and all will be ok? | 01:56 |
| mazda01_ | heo: sudo killall firefox | 01:57 |
| koolkat | filgy: its a consumer router | 01:57 |
| losher | mazda01_: in general, you can run configure as many times as you like. But if it needs libhal-storage-dev and you don't have it, eventually the compile will fail... | 01:57 |
| autotec | mazda01_: you can run it again after depends have been satisfied, but you could also run make clean just to be sure. | 01:57 |
| bankix | koolkat: If you see your samba share under Places/Network, then samba is configured properly. | 01:57 |
| geneticx | heo: sudo killall -9 firefox would work too. | 01:57 |
| bankix | koolkat: (on your ubuntu machine, seeing your own share) | 01:57 |
| filgy | koolkat: like linksys or something? in that case your local network is technically operating through a switch... | 01:57 |
| mazda01_ | losher: i know, i am installing what it needs now. | 01:57 |
| losher | mazda01_: then autotec's advice is good... | 01:58 |
| filgy | bankix: he's connected through a switch with his local network. not router it sounds like | 01:58 |
| Snares | ProfOak: It's just the first process listed...weird it seems to be gone now. It was "Process name <blank> - "Status Sleeping" "ID 0-<increasing>" "Waiting Channel <blank>" | 01:58 |
| zefyx | losher, no | 01:58 |
| zefyx | doesnt work | 01:58 |
| mazda01_ | autotec: what is the command to run after make but before make install to have it make a deb for easy uninstalling | 01:58 |
| koolkat | filgy: so I have nothing to worry about? | 01:58 |
| mazda01_ | ? | 01:58 |
| test34 | mazda01, you could tell configure where to install it to make sure its doesnt overwrite the old one (./configure --prefix /home/user/program maybe) | 01:58 |
| zefyx | -su: /etc/init.d/vncserver: No such file or directory | 01:58 |
| mazda01_ | sorry about question mark | 01:58 |
| jiralface | test34, do yu know any pasting websites? | 01:58 |
| test34 | pastie.org | 01:59 |
| Snares | ProfOak: Nvm, it's randomly appearing again. | 01:59 |
| mazda01_ | zefyx: do a find / -name vncserver and you'll see where the exectuable is and then just add the command you want to your startup apps. | 01:59 |
| filgy | koolkat: i'm not sure what your initial problem was... i just saw the thing about editing router tables by bankix and figured you might actually be using a home router/switch combo | 01:59 |
| heo | geneticx: mazda01_ This boy is rock bottom. The Commands "sudo kill -9 firefox" did not kill it. Rootkit? | 01:59 |
| zefyx | thats what i did earlier | 01:59 |
| autotec | i don't make debs sorry, make install installs program | 01:59 |
| mazda01_ | jiralface: pastebin.com or is it pastebin.org? | 01:59 |
| zefyx | its at /usr/bin/vncserver | 01:59 |
| test34 | heo: sudo killall firefox-bin ; sudo killall firefox | 02:00 |
| jiralface | test34: http://pastie.org/579391 | 02:00 |

| [KirinoxzerO] | good night or morning | 02:00 |
| Snares | legend2440: TYVM! | 02:00 |
| losher | zefyx: I see. When you said: ahh, /etc/init.d/vncserver I assumed you'd found a startup script. Apparently vncserver doesn't come with one. You're going to have to write your own. Doesn't that sound like fun? | 02:01 |

| funkja | My dvd drive on my laptops lights up and opens when I push the button before ubuntu starts up (dell bios screen, in grub). but will not open or light up once inside ubuntu. Why? | 02:01 |
| mazda01_ | losher: you don't have to write a startup scrip to get an app to start after bootup. just put the command you'd run from a terminal in the startup apps within system , preferences | 02:01 |
| jiralface | test34: how do i fix that? i know i should be going over to ndis for help about it but i'm being ignored, sadly | 02:02 |

| losher | zefyx: see mazda01_ post above. Thanks mazda01_... | 02:02 |

| bankix | koolkat: A, sorry, did not see this. | 02:03 |
| losher | zefyx: if you must do it 'the old fashioned way', see if there's something here you can adapt: http://www.realvnc.com/pipermail/vnc-list/2001-February/020413.html | 02:03 |

| acu | foobarbecue - yes proftpd is ftp server | 02:12 |
| mazda01_ | foobarbecue: or you can look at the startup script for tftp and see if the command logs to a certain file. i am not familar with tftp | 02:12 |

| bankix | Volt9000: Then use a live cd, preferably Ubuntu, and run the fsck manually. | 02:31 |
| Volt9000 | Everything was working perfectly fine before the power outage. | 02:31 |
| Doug__ | Volt9000, hmm could be a corrupted HD | 02:31 |
| arand | Volt9000: use a livecd and do an offline fsck | 02:31 |
| Supermiguel | Volt9000, go to WD website and download their testing tool, sounds like a bad HD | 02:31 |
| nick125 | Volt9000: In the shell, run fsck.ext3 on the drive | 02:31 |
| Volt9000 | Oh crap | 02:31 |
| ElronMcBong | when starting wpa_supplicant manually, how do I know that a connection has been successfully established? I bet it doesn't say YEAH FINALLY YOU GOT IT, does it? | 02:31 |
| Volt9000 | I REALLY REALLY hope it's not a bad hard drive :( | 02:31 |
| Volt9000 | Yeah I dont have a livecd, downloading one now. | 02:31 |
| Supermiguel | Volt9000, http://support.wdc.com/product/download.asp?lang=en | 02:31 |
| HenWen | does anyone have power saving suggestions? I have many many different apps and utilities: powertop, laptop-mode, acpi, acpi-tools, powewrtools, and powersave. But Ubuntu still drains more power than my tinyxp partition | 02:31 |
| Volt9000 | Ok, do I need to specify any special arguments when running fsck.ext3? | 02:32 |
| Volt9000 | Or do I just run it and specify the device? | 02:32 |
| Supermiguel | Volt9000, run the diags from the wd page... | 02:32 |
| Volt9000 | Sheeeeiiiiiiiiiiiit.... :( | 02:32 |
| bankix | Volt9000: fsck.ext3 /dev/yourdisk | 02:32 |

| Supermiguel | Volt9000, just a 2mb file.. | 02:32 |
| bankix | Volt9000: But maybe it's wise to keep a backup. | 02:32 |
| Volt9000 | Yes I do have a backup | 02:32 |
| justPatrick | HenWen do you have compiz enabled? try to disable it, because video card is very baterry demanding | 02:33 |

| Statix138 | I would say file recovery is pretty neato | 02:41 |

| mazda01_ | wetwired2: are you using 100 baseT or gigabit network? | 02:55 |
| CopyWriter | no i did a couple installes of 9.041 and only noticed it yesterday and today | 02:55 |
| wetwired2 | i THINK it's a gigabit. | 02:55 |
| CopyWriter | i mean 9.04 | 02:55 |
| ZenMasta | ziroday: ./hon-x86: error while loading shared libraries: libk2-x86.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory | 02:55 |
| mazda01_ | wetwired2: have to tried to see what mode your ethercards are in ? | 02:55 |
| ziroday | ZenMasta: try sudo ./hon.sh | 02:55 |
| kerm|t | might a usb sound card work with ubuntu? | 02:55 |
| wetwired2 | What mode? No, I didn't know there were different modes. Please explain | 02:56 |
| ZenMasta | ziroday: same thing | 02:56 |
| Ghoti | Timitheos: I wish I could help you, but I've not dealt with ATI/AMD cards in Linuxland before. | 02:56 |
| bankix | koolkat: We need the pastebin url to see your config. | 02:56 |
| ziroday | ZenMasta: I would go back and ask the authors. What game? | 02:57 |
| legend2440 | Timitheos: are you using the the ati catalyst control center ? | 02:57 |
| Timitheos | yeah why? | 02:57 |
| ZenMasta | ziroday: heroes of newerth... does it matter if I'm in x when I type that? | 02:57 |
| mazda01_ | wetwired2: full duplex and what not | 02:57 |
| gabrielp | have anyone tried to virtualize Mac OS X in ubuntu? | 02:57 |
| drakonik | wat | 02:57 |
| Timitheos | is that a problem? | 02:57 |
| drakonik | why am I using 8.04? | 02:57 |
| wetwired2 | How do I check? | 02:57 |
| mazda01_ | wetwired2: ifconfig should show you | 02:57 |
| Ghoti | ZenMasta: it sounds like you're missing a needed library | 02:57 |
| ziroday | ZenMasta: hmm gimme a sec | 02:57 |
| legend2440 | Timitheos: no i thought maybe you were using ubuntus display setting app | 02:58 |
| wetwired2 | Ok, I'm looking at the output, but I'm not sure what I'm looking at. | 02:58 |
| mazda01_ | wetwired2: i am wrong, i am looking for the command now | 02:58 |
| wetwired2 | I don't see full duplex listed anywhere. | 02:58 |
| Timitheos | with the Control center it recognizes both displays but won't seperate them. | 02:58 |
| mazda01_ | wetwired2: dmesg | grep -i duplex | 02:59 |
| legend2440 | Timitheos: which ati card you have? | 02:59 |
| malek | Hi, my usb hard drive gets unmounted and remounted when I don't use it for a while, and then when I try a command I get "ls: reading directory .: Input/output error". Can anyone help? | 02:59 |

| Timitheos | Radeon HD 4650 | 02:59 |
| wetwired2 | that look good? | 02:59 |
| autotec | gabrielp: i was wondering i virtualbox would install such mac os x, what about orignal mac os 9.? | 02:59 |
| mazda01_ | malek: is your usb drive connected to a usb 2.0 port or the old standard | 02:59 |
| ZenMasta | Ghoti: you mean like something on my system or something that should have been included with the game? | 02:59 |
| bankix | Sorry, people, I have to hand over koolkat to somebody else. He has now a default smb.conf installed and configured one readonly share public accessible via system-config-samba. | 03:00 |
| legend2440 | Timitheos: did you install the ati drivers from system>admin>hardware drivers? | 03:00 |
| justPatrick | does anyone knows if launchpad has mirrors from where i can download ppa's packages? | 03:00 |
| Ghoti | ZenMasta: I don't see any Ubunti 'libk2' package, so I'd imagine it's something the game should have included. | 03:00 |
| bankix | I'm leaving now. | 03:00 |
| Timitheos | ummm.. no, it popped up that the drivers weren't activated. | 03:00 |
| Timitheos | so i activated them. | 03:00 |
| bankix | koolkat: Sorry. Timeout ;-) | 03:00 |
| malek | mazda01_: hmm, not sure. I think it's newer - I get this from lspci: 00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) USB UHCI #1 (rev 03) | 03:00 |

| === mac9416 is now known as infocop411 | ||
| === infocop411 is now known as mac9416 | ||
| malek | mazda01_: sorry, missed a line which says USB2 | 03:01 |
| wetwired2 | It says it's in full duplex mode, and the link is up at 100 Mbps | 03:01 |
| malek | mazda01_: 00:1d.7 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) USB2 EHCI Controller (rev 03) | 03:01 |
| ZenMasta | arand:/Ghoti: there is a lib in the same dir as hon.sh libk2-x86_64.so and libk2-86.so | 03:01 |
| mazda01_ | wetwired2: what about teh machine you're transferring files to? are they both linux? | 03:01 |
| wetwired2 | No, one of them is windows xp. | 03:02 |
| Ghoti | ZenMasta: try the other command you mentioned? LANG=C ./hon.sh ? | 03:02 |
| mazda01_ | malek: i would say that ist's usb 2.0. does /var/log/kern.log or syslog, or dmesg show anythink about the usb activity? | 03:02 |
| koolkat | can anyone tell me why my system doesnt appear in samba? | 03:02 |
| Timitheos | when it ran the update after install it popped up that the drivers weren't activated. I activated them and it downloaded and installed the drivers. It told me to restart, and after i did it stopped working right. | 03:02 |
| ZenMasta | Ghoti: ./hon-x86: error while loading shared libraries: libk2-x86.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory | 03:03 |
| ZenMasta | same error as just ./hon.sh or sudo eitheone | 03:03 |
| drakonik | So uh...what's the latest version of Ubuntu? | 03:03 |
| Ghoti | ZenMasta: sounds like there's an error in the shell script. | 03:03 |
| legend2440 | Timitheos: can i pm? | 03:04 |
| mazda01_ | wetwired2: is it only when you transfer from linux or when you transfer to linux? do you ahve this in your smb.conf file: socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_KEEPALIVE SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 | 03:04 |
| Timitheos | sure | 03:04 |
| mazda01_ | koolkat: what system? | 03:04 |
| musikgoat | !latest | drakonik | 03:04 |
| ubottu | drakonik: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are: fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports. | 03:04 |
| arand | drakonik: 9.04 stable, 9.10 development | 03:04 |
| drakonik | Aha | 03:04 |
| musikgoat | heh | 03:04 |
| koolkat | mazda01_: what do you mean what system? | 03:04 |
| drakonik | So I do have a problem | 03:04 |
| drakonik | I'm at 8.04 | 03:04 |
| malek | mazda01_: yeah, there's a whole bunch of stuff about it. Want me to post it somewhere? | 03:04 |
| Zappo | goodnight | 03:04 |
| Ghoti | !backports | 03:04 |
| ubottu | If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging | 03:04 |
| wetwired2 | it's both ways, and let me check the smb.conf | 03:04 |
| drakonik | And my apt-get is telling me I have no uggrades | 03:04 |
| mazda01_ | koolkat: your comment was, "can anyone tell me why my system doesnt appear in samba?" so i am asking what system? | 03:05 |
| arand | drakonik: Not a problem, that's the long term support release, still valid for 2 (3?) years with updates | 03:05 |
| koog | Hello. Is there a channel I can join for custom kernel builds, or is this the place? :) | 03:05 |
| koolkat | mazda01_: my computer? | 03:05 |
| drakonik | Yes, but I'm trying to do something, and it'd be nice if I had the latest versions of say...USB microphone drivers | 03:05 |
| Ghoti | drakonik: ahve you tries sudo do-release-upgrade ? | 03:05 |
| djdarkman | Hello, can someone point me to a link that tells how can I upgrade my UNR to karmic_ | 03:05 |
| drakonik | hm | 03:05 |
| drakonik | I dind't know about taht one | 03:06 |
| koog | (I mean help in custom kernel builds). | 03:06 |
| Ghoti | !karmic | djdarkman | 03:06 |
| ubottu | djdarkman: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 | 03:06 |
| drakonik | Hm | 03:06 |
| mazda01_ | malek: no, just read it and see if it says anything that sticks out as being errorish (if that's a word) i can't help, it sounds like it may be a hardware issue as my jaunty install has no issues with usb, and I even use usb 1.1 | 03:06 |
| drakonik | No. No release found. | 03:06 |
| mazda01_ | koolkat: i am talking about the OS, windows or linux> | 03:06 |
| ElronMcBong | is it normal when I start wpa_supplicant manually that it does never end? I get five times CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS, then Trying to assiciate with my router, WPA: Key negitiation completetd (4 times) and then CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED 6 times. Is that normal? | 03:06 |
| ZenMasta | okay, well thanks guys. guess I gotta troll the hon forums to see whats up. already tried skimming and searching for that erro but no luck yet | 03:06 |
| koolkat | mazda01_: linux | 03:06 |
| error404notfound | how can i find which file has largest size in pwd and its children? | 03:06 |
| drakonik | Anyway. I"m trying to figure out what to update so my fucking Logitech headset will work. I've tweaked the alsamixer config and no matter how many times I unmute the mic (it constantly mutes itself at unpredicatable intervals), it will not record | 03:06 |
| arand | drakonik: If you do want to get to 9.04 you'd have to upgrade in steps >8.10>9.04, you can do that bu running "update-manager -d" in a terminal and then using update manager. | 03:07 |
| mazda01_ | koolkat: what's not working about your samba? | 03:07 |
| malek | mazda01_: yeah, there's heaps of error messages. | 03:07 |
| mazda01_ | koolkat: are there any firewalls on any machines? | 03:07 |
| arand | drakonik: please no swearing in the channel. | 03:07 |
| nacho_ | somebody knows where can i find help to convert my kubuntu into ubuntu-lite? i think i need that cause my laptop dont support kubuntu 9,04 | 03:07 |
| malek | mazda01_: Not sure which are the most relevant ones though... | 03:07 |
| koolkat | mazda01_: my system doesnt appear under networks | 03:07 |
| drakonik | aha | 03:07 |
| drakonik | there we go | 03:07 |
| mazda01_ | malek: can't help then, i am guessing its a hardware issue. maybe post them at pastebin.com | 03:07 |
| koolkat | mazda01_: there are no firewalls | 03:08 |
| koog | arand: That's right, let's keep our code open source, not our moth. :) | 03:08 |
| Ghoti | nacho_: apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop | 03:08 |
| drakonik | Hopefully the upgrades will fix this. | 03:08 |
| mazda01_ | koolkat: within windows networks or what. i can't help if you;re not being specific. | 03:08 |
| wetwired2 | the only part of that I have in my smb.conf is # socket options = TCP_NODELAY | 03:08 |
| blognewb | hello what is the command to check if there is fastcgi installed? | 03:08 |
| mazda01_ | wetwired2: add the rest, can't hurt anything. | 03:08 |
| wetwired2 | ok. | 03:08 |
| malek | mazda01_: I'm fairly sure it isn't, because it only started when I switched from kde to gnome, unless it's a coincindence. I'll paste it up. Hang on a tic... | 03:08 |
| wetwired2 | on the same line? And uncomment it? | 03:08 |
| nacho_ | Ghoti: then i install ubuntu-lite? and thats all? | 03:08 |
| Ghoti | blognewb: if it's the name of a package, dpkg-query -l | grep ii | grep fastcgi | 03:09 |
| mazda01_ | wetwired2: have you looked at the speed transfer in a iftop or similar program? | 03:09 |
| Dark_Wolf | Hello again, linux | 03:09 |
| Ghoti | nacho_: you might want to do an apt-get autoremove afterwards, but that should do the trick | 03:09 |
| blognewb | Ghoti: can it do a substring? | 03:09 |
| gartral | hello all, im having trouble partitioning a sandisk cruzer micro after removing the U3 software froma windows machine | 03:09 |
| Ghoti | blognewb: how do you mean? | 03:09 |
| nacho_ | Ghoti: ty | 03:09 |
| koolkat | mazda01_: it doesnt appear under Networks in File Browser under the Places menu of Ubuntu | 03:09 |
| Ghoti | nacho_: my pleasure | 03:09 |
| blognewb | Ghoti: substring search of filename/package name | 03:10 |
| wetwired2 | No, I haven't. The speed isn't really the problem I don't think. It says it's transfering pretty fast, it just pauses all the time and thus takes forever to get anything done | 03:10 |
| koog | Hello, all...I'm having trouble with building a custom kernel for restricted modules. I'm following the directions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CustomRestrictedModules. When I get to the section "Compiling linux-restricted-modules" and execute that apt-get build-dep line, I don't have permission to execute the command. Any ideas? Thanks. | 03:10 |
| donavan_ | has anyone tried the newest drivers from ATI ... are they any better at openGL | 03:10 |
| Ghoti | blognewb: in the example I have you, 'fastcgi' could be and substring you care to search for. | 03:11 |
| koog | donavan_: How new are you talking? | 03:11 |
| mazda01_ | koolkat: oh, i dont even bother with nautius places as it hasn't worked for me ever, dating back to breezy. to see your network, go to nautilus and enter this: smb://ipaddressofmachinehere and then hit enter, it should pop up a prompt for a username and password. if you want to just see the shares that your box is sharing, enter testparm | 03:11 |
| Ghoti | koog: try sudo apt-get build-dep ? | 03:11 |
| autotec | donavan_: hardy or jaunty??? | 03:11 |
| donavan_ | well im using whatever the ubuntu repository has 8.something and the newest on ati's site is 9.7 | 03:12 |
| koog | donavan_: It works fine for me, except switching users always gives me a kernel panic. | 03:12 |
| donavan_ | running 9.04 64bit | 03:12 |
| malek | mazda01_: ok, I've pasted kern.log here: http://pastebin.com/d50640e2d | 03:12 |
| koolkat | mazda01_: enter testparm where | 03:12 |
| koog | Ghoti: Tried that but for some reason, it installs a server header package. I'm running generic. | 03:12 |
| wetwired2 | Alright, it's added. I'll give that a shot. That problem isn't near as big of a headache as my main problem. For some reason, my CPU useage jumps to 100% when I'm not really doing much, and it'll stay there for some time, and mostly lock things up. Like right now, I'm on irssi in this chat, and installing updates, and if I open any program, it jumps to 100% and hangs there for a good 30 seconds, gives me a 10 second break, | 03:12 |

| autotec | on my notebook with ati X1400, in hardy 8.04, no 1440x900, but max res works ok and look great to me... on Jaunty, 1440x900 shows up there and other stuff like transparent windows works out of the box open source driver. | 03:13 |
| grendal_prime | is there some sort of udev cache i need to clear or something? | 03:13 |
| mazda01_ | malek: is your usb drive an etx3 filesystem? unmount it and run fsck on it as the filesystem is screwed up | 03:13 |
| mazda01_ | koolkat: on a terminal | 03:14 |
| koog | koog Upgrade from 8.10? I did a fresh install on that one. Switched distros. :) | 03:14 |
| koolkat | mazda01_: Could not display "smb://192.168.1.3/documents/". | 03:14 |
| autotec | in other words, unless you want transparent windows and other visual effect in 8.04, you don't need ati's driver | 03:14 |
| vince | Good evening | 03:15 |
| malek | mazda01_: yeah, it's a 750GB drive formatted as ext3. I'll run fsck and see if that helps. Thanks for that! | 03:15 |

| mazda01_ | koolkat: are you even using samba? did you sudo aptitude install samba and then configure what shares you want to share? you need to follow a guide for sharing folders via samba | 03:21 |

| ghostlines | hi all does anyone know if rtorrent can pre-allocate files? | 03:23 |
| dkulchenko | musikgoat: then is there any alternative way to do this, other than /etc/hosts? | 03:23 |
| musikgoat | dkulchenko: you would likely setup iptables redirection, but i'm not knowledgeful on that | 03:24 |
| koolkat | i dont dont get it | 03:24 |
| musikgoat | koolkat: can you restart samba daemon on either of those machines? | 03:24 |
| dkulchenko | musikgoat: i'll look into that, thanks. | 03:24 |

| autotec | donavan_: the wiki or ubuntu community link from ati download site has easy instructions to create and install .deb's from the ati driver download | 03:25 |
| donavan_ | autotec... why bother though ... is there some advantage? | 03:26 |
| linux | ghostlines: not the rtorrent shipped with ubuntu | 03:26 |
| mazda01_ | if I want to install a binary package over a synaptic installed program, would I need to run the ./configure and tell it to install the binary in /usr/bin/ so that it overwrites the old pcmanfm binary? | 03:26 |
| donavan_ | autotec besides having a .deb file and the easy install? | 03:27 |
| linux | mazda01: i believe it usually overwrites by default since most programs share the same destination directory | 03:27 |
| autotec | not really, but the install prog is not easy | 03:27 |
| bridge | is it possible to share my wifi connection over ethernet by connecting to a router and bridging? | 03:27 |
| donavan_ | musikgoat... according to ati's howto I am supposed to use the ./ so thats why I put it there | 03:27 |

| musikgoat | donavan_: ok | 03:28 |
| musikgoat | donavan_: it wont hurt | 03:28 |

| linux | Clinteger: its mostly accidental (theres no stopping or slowing a paste once commenced) | 03:32 |

| g-loc | i shot poop thru the floor | 03:33 |
| shamm | mlissner: you would lose saved files on those drives. | 03:33 |
| stlsaint | how do i add my user account to the subdoers file? | 03:33 |
| autotec | ubuntu tip 2: if LTS is working and no problems, no need to upgrade and create problems. | 03:33 |
| g-loc | like i cant believe it | 03:34 |
| Ghoti | stlsaint: use visudoers, the sudoers file has examples to follow. | 03:34 |
| musikgoat | stlsaint: you have to have root privileges, eg another account that has those privileges | 03:34 |
| g-loc | also how do i linux | 03:34 |
| koolkat | g-loc: you have to learn how to count first | 03:34 |
| Ghoti | g-loc: 'linux' is a noun, not a verb. | 03:34 |
| mazda01_ | autotec: forget LTS, it's bleeding edge or no edge at all. ha ha ha | 03:35 |
| stlsaint | so i have to create another account to add my main account? | 03:35 |
| Qu4R0w | how to connect to wireless using command line in terminal? | 03:35 |
| g-loc | i cant numbers | 03:35 |
| ToStItOs | How is a external dial up modem set up with Gnome ppp | 03:35 |
| stlsaint | what command will i use to add my main account after i create my other account | 03:35 |
| Ghoti | stlsaint: your 'main' account should already have sudo privileges. | 03:35 |
| linux | Qu4R0w: man iwconfig | 03:35 |
| autotec | mazda01_: screw that, if i want bleeding edge i would use fedora :( | 03:35 |
| musikgoat | stlsaint: you can try adding your account to the admin group | 03:35 |
| stlsaint | musikgoat...how? | 03:35 |
| Ghoti | autotec: not Gentoo? ;) | 03:35 |
| Qu4R0w | linux: nice ^^ | 03:35 |
| donavan_ | well I upgraded to the new ATI drivers it killed my X session and locked my computer but a hard reset fixed that ... now I am up and running with the new drivers and they are working beautifully no more flashing 3d grpahics | 03:35 |
| autotec | mazda01_: you like fedora if you like upgrade every 6 months and start all over again. | 03:36 |
| musikgoat | stlsaint: system -> admin -> users and groups | 03:36 |
| maco | Qu4R0w: first stop network manager ("sudo service NetworkManager stop") then "sudo iwconfig <interface> essid 'linksys'" replacing linksys with your AP and <interface> with whatever "iwconfig" says is your wireless interface | 03:36 |
| Ghoti | stlsaint: do you see admin when you run 'groups' at a terminal? | 03:36 |
| mazda01_ | linux: when I ran that command it said it would install teh binary in /usr/bin/bin so i am re-running teh command with just --prefix=/usr | 03:36 |
| musikgoat | stlsaint: then unlock | 03:36 |
| autotec | Ghoti: Gentoo!! hey, i don't have 2 days to install this thing;) | 03:36 |
| linux | mazda01: ok, if you have troubles, re-extract the tar and try it | 03:36 |
| maco | Qu4R0w: if you need wep, iwconfig's manpage will explain. if you need wpa, i can explain that one | 03:36 |
| mazda01_ | autotec: no, i like ubuntu which releases a new version every 6 moths | 03:36 |
| Ghoti | autotec: it installs a lot faster these days ;) | 03:36 |
| Qu4R0w | maco: tq..really tq | 03:36 |

| autotec | Ghoti: last time i try gentoo, half me stuff don't work at all and i hate compile modules and kernel. | 03:37 |

| linux | ToStIt0s: is it a parallel, serial, bluetooth, or usb external modem? | 03:37 |

| ToStItOs | linux: serial | 03:37 |
| stlsaint | users and groups says i dont have permission to access | 03:38 |
| mazda01_ | foobarbecue: it probably needs to be a dir. so it would sudo mkdir | 03:38 |
| gartral | linux: Could not stat device /dev/sdb - No such file or directory. errors | 03:38 |
| musikgoat | stlsaint: hmm, then you are in trouble | 03:38 |
| autotec | Ghoti: hey like a browser war, latest greatest chromium or whatever, but why bother when firefox simply works great. | 03:38 |

| stlsaint | any advice? | 03:39 |
| gartral | linux: yes, but it mysteriously unmounts itself before the write | 03:39 |
| zmdwjx1981 | mazda01_: my english is poor | 03:39 |
| foobarbecue | mazda01_: that's what I tried at first, but then I got "/dev/loop0: Is a directory" | 03:39 |
| autotec | Ubuntu tip 3: if ain't broke, then don't break it :) | 03:39 |
| Ghoti | autotec: because I like trying new and different things? :) | 03:39 |
| linux | ToSIt0s: just guessing though it doesn't, if it does, its through HAL | 03:39 |
| PSiL0 | Ghoti: That's it! THanks a million man! | 03:39 |
| foobarbecue | mazda01_: which makes me think it's not supposed to be... | 03:39 |
| musikgoat | stlsaint: do you know the root password? you can try to "su -" | 03:39 |
| mazda01_ | foobarbecue: that means that the directory is already there | 03:39 |
| Ghoti | autotec: though you'd need to to a lot of convincing to get me to try an RPM-based distro again ;) | 03:39 |
| musikgoat | stlsaint: but unless you changed it, that would be locked up | 03:39 |
| stlsaint | su with what cmd | 03:39 |
| Ghoti | PSiL0: no problem! That'll be €8 please. | 03:39 |
| musikgoat | stlsaint: just su and dash | 03:39 |
| linux | gartral: one of those two programs usually works for me, i have never had both of them fail unless the HD was bad | 03:39 |
| PSiL0 | Ghoti: lol | 03:40 |
| ToStItOs | I might just have to wait and play with it when I get it | 03:40 |
| mazda01_ | stlsaint: you're going to have to boot up a recover session and it'll boot you into root. | 03:40 |
| autotec | Ghoti: not me, i drive a 93 dakota (rescued it out of junk yard). | 03:40 |
| foobarbecue | mazda01_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/251144/ | 03:40 |
| mazda01_ | stlsaint: then it'll let you add your username to the sudoers file | 03:40 |
| Ghoti | autotec: kudos for the ultimate recycling program :) | 03:40 |
| gartral | linux: the hardrive reads, and has files on it, but i cant read the fires, or add more | 03:40 |

| gartral | linux: fat32 | 03:41 |
| foobarbecue | mazda01_: that's what I get if I create the directory. No loop created, whether I start with a directory or start with nothing. | 03:41 |
| mazda01_ | foobarbecue: why in the world are you trying to use a swap file over nfs? | 03:41 |
| musikgoat | stlsaint: in your situation, you would need to follow mazda01_'s advice | 03:41 |
| Quatroking | Hi | 03:41 |
| Ghoti | autotec: Meh. I've been caught in RPM hell too many times. I hvae heard good things though, TBH | 03:41 |
| foobarbecue | mazda01_: because I only have 16mb on my embedded device and that's not enough to run apt-get | 03:41 |

| ubottu | Quatroking: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 03:41 |
| foobarbecue | mazda01_: and cross-compiling is a pain | 03:41 |
| linux | gartral: maybe its the first version of fat32 (not the modern one), i know i had one HD that none of the software in linux would repair, have you tried repairing it with fat repairing software for linux? | 03:42 |
| Ghoti | gartral: perhaps the filesystem is mounted read-only? | 03:42 |
| musikgoat | autotec: really? like more than every 6 months? | 03:42 |
| musikgoat | autotec: i don't think so | 03:42 |
| mazda01_ | foobarbecue: ah, sorry. i see. so do you have the nfs shared out like the directions to the link you pasted. i have never done this so I am only trying to help from what I read | 03:42 |
| Quatroking | I jsut installed 9.0.4 after abandoning Ubuntu for far too long, and I noticed that the front audio-out isn't working | 03:42 |
| autotec | what was that distro i tired long ago, turbo linux 4 i think, look good then they went gnome and started looking like everybody else. but v 4 was awesome. | 03:42 |
| Quatroking | Just* | 03:42 |
| stlsaint | alright guys i will try and if no go than ill be back shortly ....thanks musik and mazda | 03:42 |
| linux | Ghoti: ask him to check the stab or the file that sets the mounts upon boot | 03:42 |
| mazda01_ | stlsaint: np | 03:42 |
| gartral | linux: Ghoti no, i formatted it originally on a win xp pro sp2 machine, and about it being read only.. i doubt it | 03:42 |
| Quatroking | Now, I have no idea how to fix this. Anyone? | 03:42 |
| musikgoat | stlsaint: gl | 03:42 |

| cosmic_karma | that was the one i was gonna do | 03:52 |
| Ghoti | musikgoat: cosmic_karma wants to not get any more update notifications. On its head be it. | 03:52 |
| musikgoat | Ghoti: cosmic_karma is referring to the auto pop up | 03:52 |
| cosmic_karma | auto pop up is annoying | 03:52 |
| ctmjr | smeltser: download it like any other file | 03:52 |
| autotec | cosmic_karma: wish it out into the corn field... | 03:52 |
| musikgoat | cosmic_karma: Apps->Update Notifier. On the right, unchecked the auto_launch box. | 03:52 |
| cosmic_karma | lmao | 03:52 |
| gartral | Ghoti: ok, now that i reinserted it, it *does* come up an *i* flagged as rw | 03:53 |
| Ghoti | cosmic_karma: musikgoat: autotec: As always in Linuxland, there's more than one way to skin a cat :) | 03:53 |
| Ghoti | gartral: now that it's rw, can you write to the drive? | 03:53 |
| cosmic_karma | yea im a noob but i love ubuntu | 03:54 |
| gartral | Ghoti: no.. it "dissappears" again | 03:54 |
| cosmic_karma | anhd i love how everyone helps | 03:54 |
| cosmic_karma | tahnks | 03:54 |
| cosmic_karma | thanks | 03:54 |
| Ghoti | gartral: Drat. | 03:54 |
| musikgoat | Ghoti: i agree, although the analogy would be, my directions skin a cat, your directions boil the cat, which gets the fur off as well | 03:54 |
| gartral | Ghoti: it was always rw... but it does this same thing on linux mac and windows | 03:54 |
| musikgoat | Ghoti: :P | 03:54 |
| linux | smeltser: take the URL from Firefox and right click, save as (or copy the URL and in terminal wget <url.tar.gz>); to extract tar -xvf *.tar.gz | 03:54 |
| autotec | since there no linux virus, if didn't have to work tomorrow i would stay up all night and create one. wife say it's bed time, later dudes... | 03:54 |
| Ghoti | musikgoat: in the end, the cat is still dead ;) | 03:54 |
| Ashfire908 | Hi, when I run Nexuiz and start a match, at the end of loading, my system "breaks". I can't do anything. If i try to switch ttys nothing on screen happens, ctrl-atl-delete does nothing useful, and the only way I can fix it is by restarting with the power button (hodling it) or SysRq keys. | 03:55 |
| cosmic_karma | good night | 03:55 |
| neoTheCat | i know this question might be really generic, but for some reason, out of the blue, urbanterror has become unplayable, in terms of being really slow. has anyone seen this kind of thing happen? | 03:55 |
| autotec | i chk slashdot tomorrow to see if any of these idiots create a linux virus. | 03:55 |
| linux | Ashfire908: try Alt+Ctrl+Backspace? | 03:55 |
| Ashfire908 | linux, that's disabled in 9.04 | 03:56 |
| Ghoti | neoTheCat: hard to say.. Try running htop (or just top) in the background, and see if it's CPU-related perhaps? | 03:56 |
| gartral | Ashfire908: sounds like theres a problem with your Nexuiz, are you running the 2.5.1 or ubuntu repos client? | 03:56 |
| philf | Hi, having an issue with flashplayer, since about 4 days ago, a website I was using doesn't work anymore, when I start the application, it's a photo editing online tool, I get a big blue box...the main page works, but nothing else, I've got Gnash, and adobe installed, but can't figure it out...any thoughts? | 03:56 |
| musikgoat | absolutely | 03:56 |
| autotec | opps, there is a linux virus wicd sure enough updated itself and now don't work. | 03:56 |
| linux | Ashfire908: darn, all the good things taken away in 9.04 | 03:56 |
| Ghoti | !dontzap | Ashfire908 | 03:56 |
| ubottu | Ashfire908: 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. | 03:56 |
| mazda01_ | neoTheCat: does top show any process taking a lot of cpu? what does free -m show? did ou upgrade lately? it could have changed graphics drivers on you. many possibiliteis | 03:56 |
| autotec | ;) | 03:56 |
| Ashfire908 | gartral, no, nexuiz is a trigger. It's something with my graphics. | 03:56 |
| gartral | Ashfire908: are you on an Nvidia card? | 03:57 |
| dkulchenko | How can I use iptables in such a way that any request to http://randomtext.com/ goes to 127.0.0.1:8089 (I would use /etc/hosts, but it does not support routing to a port). | 03:57 |
| jedc | linux, ctrl + alt + backspace is really easy to enable again | 03:57 |
| Ashfire908 | gartral, no, intel... | 03:57 |
| gartral | Ashfire908: AHHH.. intel imbedded graphics.. wonderful.. | 03:57 |
| linux | jedc: by default hitting ctrl+alt+backspace three times quickly should enable it, nothing harder | 03:58 |
| gartral | Ghoti: /dev/sdb1 on /media/BETHDRIVE type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal,shortname=mixed,uid=1000,utf8,umask=077,flush) that line disturbs me for some reason | 03:58 |
| thiebaude | Ashfire908: i have had my trials with intel | 03:58 |
| LiNeTuX | <dkulchenko>: you can use /etc/hosts, but point to 127.0.0.2, then forward port 80 to 127.0.01:8089 | 03:58 |
| bassliner | ez, so how do i avoid that ubuntu installs some testing version of firefox (shiretoko, minefield) just because i aptitude upgrade? | 03:58 |
| musikgoat | linux: add that to the ubuntu brainstorm | 03:58 |
| Ghoti | gartral: that looks normal to me | 03:58 |
| linux | musikgoat: adding | 03:59 |
| Ghoti | (I, for one, can't understand why they disabled C-A-BkSp to bekin with) | 03:59 |
| ghostdog | do any of you have experience using samba to share files from a computer running ubuntu? | 03:59 |
| blognewb | hey is it ok to reinstall the same version of PHP even if i have already one in the box? I'll do it to integrate FCGI/FPM.... hello? | 03:59 |
| gartral | Ghoti: ok, anything else you can think of? | 03:59 |
| Ghoti | gartral: sorry, not off the top of my head :( | 03:59 |
| musikgoat | bassliner: umm, you uninstall the beta software? | 03:59 |
| neoTheCat | mazda01_: it looks like urbanterror is taking 100% for some reason. i am going try downgrading to nvidia driver 173, instead of 180 | 03:59 |
| Ghoti | ghostdog: I have a working SMB share; what can we help you with? | 04:00 |
| musikgoat | bassliner: aptitude upgrade will upgrade what you have installed | 04:00 |
| gartral | linux: what would you use to repair the partition table? | 04:00 |
| Ghoti | gartral: fsck? | 04:00 |
| dkulchenko | LiNeTuX: thanks! that would work. | 04:00 |
| Ashfire908 | gartral, I also had this issue with Gentoo. | 04:00 |
| temporarytao_ | anyone know of a good electronics layouting program like ORCAD but for linux? | 04:00 |
| ghostdog | Ghoti: i tried creating a share on my linux computer using the file browser. it shows up on my other computers, but i cannot actually log into it | 04:00 |
| LiNeTuX | <dkulchenko>: /etc/init.d can be your friend there as well | 04:00 |
| gartral | Ghoti: fsck hangs | 04:00 |
| kapil | gartral: "parted" perhaps. | 04:00 |
| ghostdog | Ghoti: i'm using the right username and password but it just doesn't work | 04:00 |
| temporarytao_ | i know there's a free version of eagle but it just sucks to use something that's been limited | 04:01 |
| Ashfire908 | gartral, one of the reasons I'm using ubuntu (switched back) is this issue, which appeared after an update in gentoo occured. | 04:01 |
| jcapinc | hay can anyone tell me how to get android working on virtualbox on ubuntu? | 04:01 |
| Guiri | I can't seem to browse the /var/www/ using the default apache2 install from my DynDNS name | 04:01 |
| Guiri | Can someone help me? | 04:01 |
| gartral | Ashfire908: the intel drivers in Linux.. (that's Gentoo, redhat, fedora, debian, ubuntu...) is confirmed borked, and intel has said basically little more than "Meh, more reason to use windows" | 04:01 |
| dkulchenko | LiNeTuX: how would i go about forwarding from 127.0.0.2 to 127.0.0.1:8089 (I am totally new to iptables) | 04:01 |
| cosmic_karma | how do i get /list to show chans by size, its been so long since i was a regular irc user? | 04:02 |
| Ashfire908 | gartral, any solution? | 04:02 |
| neoTheCat | jcapinc: what problems are you having? it pretty much worked out of the box for me? | 04:02 |
| cosmic_karma | never used xchat, used to use excursion back in the day | 04:02 |
| LiNeTuX | <dkulchenko>: I'd just use a port forward w/init.d. ... um, I'll start a sidebar w/you and explain | 04:02 |
| Ashfire908 | gartral, besides getting a new card or coding a better driver | 04:02 |
| gartral | Ashfire908: downgrade to 8.10 or an LTS release | 04:02 |
| Ghoti | ghostdog: Hand a sec, I'll have some things for you to try momentarily | 04:03 |
| ghostdog | ok | 04:03 |
| Ashfire908 | gartral, uh... can I just downgrade the driver? | 04:03 |
| Guiri | I'm not sure what else to do. ufw has port 80 open but I still can't see the index.html in the /var/www/ | 04:03 |
| MindLess | hi there | 04:03 |
| myself | you'r ea god | 04:03 |
| musikgoat | Guiri: can you see localhost from teh webserver? | 04:03 |
| gartral | Ashfire908: not without recompileing the kernal, its hardcoded into the kernal structure | 04:03 |
| cosmic_karma | nevermind xchat is pretty sweet | 04:03 |
| Xerran | Anyone in the room using conky-colors? I can not get weather working | 04:03 |
| jcapinc | neoTheCat, I downloaded a .vdi.bz2 and extracted it, started running it and I get GRUB loading stage 2... forever | 04:03 |
| MindLess | guyz is anybody have knowledge about clam sound library | 04:04 |
| Guiri | musikgoat: Webserver is a friend's machine in another state that I'm helping him setup. But I'm SSHed in under the dyndns name | 04:04 |
| Guiri | So I know it resolves | 04:04 |
| Ashfire908 | gartral, suppose I did that... (i haven't but I can, after all I used gentoo) | 04:04 |
| spO | i could do a gpg --export KEY -ao public.key to create exportable keys or i could simply copy secring.gpg and pubring.gpg (from the gpg config directory) if i want to backup keys or anything like that, right? | 04:04 |
| musikgoat | Guiri: set up a local tunnel... ssh -L 80:localhost:80 account@yourfreind | 04:04 |
| musikgoat | Guiri: then you go to localhost on your machine | 04:05 |
| gartral | Ashfire908: well... you would have to find a patch and a copy of the previus driver's source... beyond that, im lost | 04:05 |
| === kaie is now known as Guest43439 | ||
| neoTheCat | jcapinc: which virtualbox version? i'll check my settings.... | 04:06 |
| Guiri | musikgoat: Yes I can see localhost now in the browser. | 04:06 |
| Guiri | Why can't I see it from the outside? Some setting I've forgotten? | 04:06 |
| musikgoat | Guiri: and you can see index? | 04:06 |
| musikgoat | Guiri: prolly lan router port forwarding | 04:06 |
| Guiri | Yeah, I have the It Works! index.html | 04:06 |
| Ashfire908 | gartral, ok then. At least I have a direction to go in now. | 04:06 |
| Guiri | It's in the DMZ. I can see each port with a portscan | 04:06 |
| musikgoat | Guiri: or dsl modem/router or something | 04:06 |
| Zzyzx | Q: how to get paravirtualization option in Virtual Machine Manager to be available? | 04:06 |
| jcapinc | neoTheCat, standard ubuntu 8.10 repository version, 2.0.4_OSE | 04:06 |
| gartral | Ashfire908: also having recompiled your kernal means the Ubuntu community cant help you as fully | 04:07 |
| th0r | Guiri: some isp's block port 80 for private accounts. | 04:07 |
| Guiri | musikgoat: Okay. I'll check i tout | 04:07 |
| musikgoat | Guiri: dmz's sometimes suck on home routers... but i would blame it on that, or the webserver doesn't have its route setup | 04:07 |
| musikgoat | Guiri: so its not sending traffic out | 04:07 |
| musikgoat | Guiri: but i would think he would know he cant get to the internet | 04:07 |
| neoTheCat | jcapinc: i am runnning 3.0.4. maybe that has something to do with it... | 04:08 |
| MrPiracy | can i set grub to launch vista directly without using it's builtin bcd? | 04:08 |
| Hilikus | how can i reset $PATH without loging out? | 04:08 |
| web_sohum | is there any way to use dpkg or apt locally? | 04:08 |
| musikgoat | th0r: ir right too... but stateside, thats less and less | 04:08 |
| Ashfire908 | gartral, harder to get help or a system that is prone to essentally crashing? | 04:08 |
| Veinor | FOr some reason, whenever I boot Linux, I can't get sound until I kill pulseaudio. | 04:08 |
| jcapinc | neoTheCat, I would tend to agree with you, I believe many changes were made in the new version, including 3D support | 04:08 |
| Guiri | musikgoat: Thanks much for the help. I'll check ou tthe router | 04:08 |
| Veinor | And then start it up again. | 04:08 |
| gartral | Ashfire908: i had to recompile the kernal back in 8.10 so my sound cards wouldnt conflict | 04:09 |
| musikgoat | Hilikus: you can source your environment source /etc/environment | 04:09 |
| musikgoat | Hilikus: i don't know if it clears added ones though | 04:09 |
| Hilikus | musikgoat: perfect! | 04:09 |

| stlsaint | i got sudo!!! | 04:10 |
| musikgoat | good | 04:10 |

| hanasaki | I hear CD/DVD is only about 5yrs? | 04:11 |
| musikgoat | lol | 04:11 |
| gartral | hanasaki: NAND flash has a 10 year shelf stability... soo.. as long as you plug it in for an hour every 8 or so years, you shouldnt have too worry | 04:11 |
| hanasaki | NAND? | 04:12 |
| gartral | hanasaki: most flashdisks have NAND flash arrays | 04:12 |
| hanasaki | just plug it in? or do you need to actively read everything for a refresh | 04:12 |
| gartral | hanasaki: just plugging it in will do | 04:12 |
| stlsaint | i just made the final ubuntu jump...erased the triple boot of xp now all i got is UBUNTU!! | 04:12 |

| musikgoat | hanasaki: what most flash is... wikipedia nand flash and nor flash | 04:13 |
| stlsaint | on two partitions | 04:13 |
| jcapinc | Would everyone here agree that that flash is the next standard in mass storage technology? | 04:13 |
| LiNeTuX | jcapinc: no. unproven. | 04:14 |
| stlsaint | uh it shows promise but...still has work to do!! | 04:14 |
| cosmic_karma | guess i didnt really reboot as much as kinda hold the power button in a fewtimes until it let me log in again | 04:14 |

| edbian | Guest82931: Right click "clean up by name" | 04:15 |
| stlsaint | or that | 04:15 |
| musikgoat | jcapinc: when intel got into the business, that saw a big boost in the likelyhood of it being a standard, but we will see | 04:15 |
| Guest82931 | where do i right click. thanks | 04:15 |
| edbian | Guest82931: Anywhere on the desktop. Just no on an icon. You are using gnome right? | 04:16 |

| cosmic_karma | hibernate worked in hardy but had an error message . it always worked well thoug. I had my powerstrip unplugged for a week and when i powered it on it was right where i left off | 04:16 |
| edbian | Guest82931: NP! :) | 04:16 |
| temporarytao | lamebot, dead bios battery? | 04:16 |
| gartral | hanasaki: yea, i knew that.. that's why i dont use flashdrives if at all possible | 04:16 |
| musikgoat | lamebot: you might need to replace your cmos battery | 04:16 |
| edbian | lamebot: What do you mean? Is the system telling you to set it? Is it wrong when you restart? | 04:16 |
| lamebot | doubt it, its a pretty new computer | 04:17 |
| cosmic_karma | jaunty froze up after i hibernated from lastnight and unplugged the strip cuz of tstorms | 04:17 |

| edbian | john_re: "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras" | 04:17 |
| lamebot | no its just wen i durn it on it is alaways off by the same number of hours but the minutes are right. I think maybe its the wrong timezone but i cant figure out how to change that | 04:17 |
| temporarytao | lamebot, you probably need to check your locale | 04:18 |
| musikgoat | lamebot: do you have your bios reset jumper set to on? | 04:18 |
| musikgoat | lamebot: after you set the time, what happens if you sudo hwclock --systohc | 04:18 |
| edbian | lamebot: I bet your hardware clock is wrong or something. | 04:18 |

| lamebot | edbian: yes | 04:20 |
| musikgoat | lamebot: yea, i was not thinking timezone | 04:20 |

| MrPocketz | So, I've got a 5.1 onboard soundcard, (nVidia) and a 5.1 PCI sound card (Audigy2) | 04:36 |
| Ghoti | nacho_: when you hibernate, having to log back in isn't really optional. | 04:36 |
| stlsaint | lol...sorry musik that was me | 04:36 |
| MrPocketz | Except, when i open volume control, the only thing i can get to play sound is the Playback: HDA NVidia - ALC883 analog (PulseAudio Mixer) | 04:37 |
| hanasaki | gartral: can I msg you in private? | 04:37 |

| ubottu | choppyhorse: Screen is a window manager for terminal sessions, also useful over SSH. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Screen | 04:39 |

| stealth- | can someone explain why I cant connect to a router less than 4 feet away that has essid broadcast on and no security? Network manager is seriously pissing me off >:( | 04:39 |
| stlsaint | choppyhorse:depends on what cmd you use | 04:39 |
| Bookman | can you run transmission from the command line? Without the pretty gui interface? | 04:39 |
| stealth- | Bookman: you can use rtorrent, which is awesome, in my opinion | 04:40 |
| Ghoti | Bookman: if you're looking for a command line torrent client, look into rtorrent | 04:40 |
| stlsaint | cuddles: if you mean koala its not out fully yet is what im being told!! | 04:40 |
| stlsaint | MrPocketz: i think he means koala...see above!! | 04:40 |
| kran | hello | 04:41 |
| Bookman | stealth, Ghoti: I will try rtorrent, but I've already partially downloaded a torrent with transmission and I'd love to finish them off from the command line. | 04:41 |
| kran | 能支持中文吗？ | 04:41 |
| meanburrito920_ | kran: english please | 04:41 |
| Veinor | Bookman: Most torrent clients support resuming, so you should just need to point it at the target directory | 04:41 |
| stlsaint | Bookman: you mean download torrents from cmd line? | 04:41 |
| Ghoti | !jp | kran | 04:41 |
| ubottu | kran: 日本語の場合は #ubuntu-jp または #kubuntu-jp を参照して下さい | 04:41 |
| stlsaint | transmission should keep running as long as you dont quit it no matter where you start it from | 04:42 |
| Bookman | stlsaint: yes. | 04:42 |
| Ghoti | Bookman: I don't know if it's possible to transplant a partial download like that | 04:42 |
| Veinor | Except that looks more chinese to me, kran | 04:42 |
| Bookman | Veinor: let me see.... | 04:42 |
| Ghoti | Veinor: it was a 50/50 shot, heh | 04:42 |

| ubottu | For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk | 04:42 |

| Veinor | didn't know if we had a !zh, cool | 04:43 |
| Bookman | stlsaint: I want to start transmission via ssh and I don't want to run a gui. I may not be able to and that is just fine, while I finish off the last two. | 04:43 |
| Ghoti | Bookman: the thing is, transmission is a GUI client, so I don't know if you can SSH in and start it on a GUI that session isn't a part of | 04:44 |

| edbian | Bookman: There is a transmission-cli package | 04:44 |
| Ghoti | linux: I do not know | 04:44 |
| stlsaint | agreed with Ghoti to bookman but i always say never count ubuntu down and out cuz it has ceased to amaze me yet...but highly unlikely! | 04:45 |
| choppyhorse | k screen worked ty. 2nd question: what does putting an "&" symbol after a command do? | 04:45 |
| Veinor | yeah, transmission-cli | 04:45 |
| Ghoti | kran: This is the English channel; what is your preferred language? | 04:45 |
| imme-emosol | Why is it that insserv changes many rc's the first time , does `Ubuntu` have a different opinion about the rcS then their own init-script ? | 04:45 |
| Veinor | choppyhorse: Runs it in the background so you can keep using the terminal | 04:45 |
| phylon | thanks Ghoti | 04:45 |
| Ghoti | choppyhorse: '&' puts the preceding command into the background | 04:45 |
| Ghoti | choppyhorse: but if you log out, the backgrounded process will usually terminate | 04:45 |
| stlsaint | TO All...whats the best(in your opinion) irc client in ubuntu? | 04:46 |
| Veinor | yeah, unless you put nohup in front of the command | 04:46 |
| choppyhorse | ty again | 04:46 |
| Ghoti | stlsaint: I alternate between irssi and xchat | 04:46 |
| Bookman | edbian: Yeah, I came across the transmission-cli in my research, but I never found out if it can "take over" downloading a current partial torrent | 04:46 |
| Ghoti | choppyhorse: my plesure | 04:46 |
| edbian | Bookman: Yeah I have no idea about that. I don't it. | 04:46 |
| malek | exit | 04:46 |
| stlsaint | yea ive heard of the irssi...would you be able to elaborate on irssi a little more? | 04:46 |
| edbian | Bookman: Perhaps you could seed yourself? | 04:46 |

| bnijk | the great motto of software development, foundry87, "keep it simple stupid," don't add superfluous features to a program that are best served elsewhere | 05:12 |
| foundry87 | bnijk: Because I want to add a shadow border to my screenshot automatically, I don't see what's wrong with that | 05:12 |
| nanotube | MeditatingFrog: i went to "format -> page", set background to black there | 05:12 |
| bnijk | most users of gnome-screenshot will not want a shadow border | 05:13 |
| nanotube | MeditatingFrog: then exported to pdf, and the pdf shows with black bg. | 05:13 |
| ryan__ | with all those programs still running, can't i reconnect to that background'd x display somehow? i'm guessing this is surely a simple linux thing i haven't learned yet coming from windows? | 05:13 |
| foundry87 | bnijk: then why include the feature in the first place? | 05:13 |
| legend2440 | Drew3: this works for finding out my nvidia driver version. not sure about ati glxinfo | grep -i version | 05:13 |
| bnijk | ? | 05:13 |
| chris_lenz123 | linux: k | 05:13 |
| foundry87 | bnijk: the feature is already there, it's just that it doesn't work with region screenshots. Check for yourself. | 05:13 |
| bnijk | oic | 05:13 |
| linux | chris_lenz123: I tried mencode a long time ago, but you have to know the exact parameter to put after mencode | 05:13 |
| * ryan__ is rymo (d'oh) | 05:14 | |
| bnijk | well | 05:14 |
| bnijk | http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/gnome-utils/trunk/gnome-screenshot/screenshot-shadow.c?view=log | 05:14 |
| bnijk | there's the code | 05:14 |
| jariep1_ | hello | 05:14 |

| FloodBot2 | bnijk: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 05:14 |
| MeditatingFrog | nanotube: I'll try printing to file. nanotube, there is an "export directly as pdf" isn't it possible to print to a file also as an alternative method to getting the file to pdf | 05:14 |
| chris_lenz123 | linux: your losing me? | 05:14 |
| jariep1_ | I am looking for a wiki software that includes backlinks | 05:14 |
| jariep1_ | anybody know of any? | 05:14 |
| oldude67 | what program will open up .tif files? | 05:15 |
| linux | chris_lenz123: those are two seperate programs, try ffmpeg first then mencoder if ffmpeg doesn't work (mencoder requires mencoder -tllksdj lots of parameters after) | 05:15 |
| === ryan__ is now known as rymo_ | ||
| foundry87 | bnijk: I'm not a very good programmer | 05:15 |
| bnijk | oldude67: any graphics program worth its salt | 05:15 |
| edbian | oldude67: .tif are just image files. | 05:15 |
| bnijk | foundry87: any time is a good time to start, eh? | 05:15 |
| prince_jammys | oldude67: any image viewer should. | 05:15 |
| nanotube | MeditatingFrog: yes, there is. just check the box "print to file" in the print dialog. that will create a postscript (.ps) file, which you can then convert to pdf from commandline, using the "ps2pdf" program. | 05:15 |
| oldude67 | bnijk, edbian , prince_jammys ty | 05:16 |
| rymo_ | if I kill Xorg are all the programs still running? | 05:16 |

| chris_lenz123 | linux: ill try, but i am a noob to linux, just got it | 05:16 |
| rymo_ | like killing explorer in windows? | 05:16 |
| Veinor | rymo_: if you kill Xorg that will kill some programs but not others | 05:17 |
| nanotube | MeditatingFrog: hope that helps :) | 05:17 |
| Veinor | it'll kill stuff that you started when you logged in | 05:17 |
| Dezine | My computer has been randomly crashing. I'm sure there is a logfile, how can I monitor the computer and then read a logfile after I boot back up? | 05:17 |
| Veinor | as well as anything that has to do with graphics in any way | 05:17 |
| nanotube | Veinor: it will kill all the gui programs that you had running in that session.... | 05:17 |
| root | hi | 05:17 |
| linux | chris_lenz123: try searching Applications -> Add/Remove and http://www.sourceforge.net for lists of programs | 05:17 |
| Veinor | right | 05:17 |

| Bookman | stealth-: rtorrent works just fine. thanks. | 05:18 |
| chris_lenz123 | linux: trying the terminal method | 05:18 |
| rymo_ | normally when a person clicks their user name at the top right and clicks on Guest Session, they're able to come back to all their programs, right? | 05:20 |
| rymo_ | so how do i come back to my programs when the Guest Session just hangs? | 05:20 |
| WilliamC | Is it possible to flash your bios from Linux? | 05:20 |
| linux | rymo_: did you switch user or logout? | 05:20 |
| _julio_ | hi there everyone | 05:21 |
| rymo_ | linux: I clicked "Guest session" which I presume to be equal to switching users? | 05:21 |
| linux | rymo_: an alternative: ctrl+alt+f2 then startx -- :5, then ctrl+alt+f5 | 05:21 |
| squarebracket | is there a startup log? | 05:21 |
| rymo_ | linux: i was able to use startx to start another display, that's what i'm in now; but i want to reconnect to my original session that still has all my programs running | 05:22 |
| blognewb | how come i have 2 php.ini's? /etc/php5/cgi/php.ini /etc/php5/cli/php.ini | 05:22 |
| squarebracket | like the stuff that's displayed instead of usplash, is it recorded somewhere? | 05:23 |
| linux | rymo_: i don't know about that one, but i am interested if anyone in here knows that answer | 05:23 |
| bishop | joining | 05:23 |
| rymo_ | is there no way to gently abort whatever has hung in this guest session to get it back to the login screen on that display where i assume i would be able to jump back in? | 05:23 |
| bishop | hey | 05:23 |
| prince_jammys | blognewb: second one is probably for php's command line interface, first one for cgi. | 05:23 |
| lstarnes | blognewb: one is for CGI (as in webserver usage), the other is for CLI (as in use as a command line interpreter) | 05:23 |
| === carlos_ is now known as Campusano | ||
| thiebaude | is ubuntu written in php? | 05:24 |
| rymo_ | linux: why the particular combo of +f2 :5 +f5? | 05:24 |
| rymo_ | i did +f2 :1 and later +f3 :2, is that bad? | 05:25 |
| linux | rymo_: they give you new ttyl's (screens), i assumed that your screen there was empty | 05:25 |
| Veinor | thiebaude: uh, no | 05:25 |
| WilliamC | thiebaude, are you kidding? | 05:25 |
| _julio_ | i have an issue, last night i installed wicd to give it a try as i've hear some kind words bout it only to stop when i realised that i couldn't use my 3g usb modem from there. since then i've removed wicd and tried to get back network manager (that somehow disapeared...) any words of hope? :P | 05:25 |
| linux | rymo_: you can use as many of those screens as you want without hazard | 05:25 |
| rymo_ | if i had used startx -- :5 does that place it on the ctrl+alt+f5 screen? | 05:26 |
| rymo_ | what i typed brought up x in-place | 05:26 |
| Dezine | Does Ubuntu has a crash log? | 05:26 |
| benjr | when i open a network share it makes an icon on my desktop but its not there when i restart, how do i make it permanant? | 05:26 |
| linux | rymo_: the "startx -- :5" or say 10 usually brings it on another screen; i toggle the ctrl+alt+FX to see which one usually | 05:26 |
| rymo_ | linux: so there's not a 1-to-1 relationship between x screen number and tty number? | 05:27 |
| rymo_ | i guess i know the default screen is :0 and it comes up on f7 | 05:27 |
| linux | rymo_: there should be, but i don't believe so, you can try reading it maybe in the manual of screen (i don't think its in xinit or startx) | 05:27 |
| linux | rymo_: let me experiment, brb | 05:28 |
| zefyx | okay.. | 05:29 |
| _julio_ | anyone? | 05:29 |
| zefyx | i just installed quite a few packages i need to remove | 05:29 |
| zefyx | how would i go about finding out which ones i installed last, so that i may remove them. | 05:29 |
| linux | rymo_: "startx -- :11" brings it to F9 on my machine | 05:29 |
| zefyx | i tried apt-get remove build-essential libtool automake1.9 openssl libcurl3 libcurl3-devlibsigc++-2.0-0c2a libsigc++-2.0-dev libncurses5 libncurses5-dev | 05:29 |
| rymo_ | linux: thx. here's another thing: after running startx -- :1 on the f2 screen, then ctrl+alt+f7 to check on the hung guest thing, coming back to f2 showed only the console output leading up to x... could I have gotten back into that one somehow without just ctrl+c dumping it? | 05:29 |
| zefyx | but its saying libcurl3-de*** isn't found, and its trying to remove half of my os as dependencies | 05:29 |
| Veinor | zefyx: sudo cat /var/log/apt/term.log | grep deselected | 05:30 |
| linux | rymo_: Let me test that theory now | 05:30 |
| _julio_ | zefyx:in gnome you can use the history function of the package manager... | 05:31 |
| linux | rymo_: yes, it will kill X with signal 2 and leave a log above login (ctrl+c that is) | 05:31 |
| Veinor | or try ls -lrt /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.list | 05:31 |
| linux | _julio: also check synaptic to ensure the packages "network-manager" and "network-manager-gnome" are installed, also try a reinstall of those | 05:32 |

| Veinor | or shell scripting? | 05:34 |
| syntax | like you know we do sudo "get-apt" install program | 05:35 |
| linux | rymo_: that would probably mean you didn't kill it, try a ctrl+shift+FX to go above F12 if your computer supports that | 05:35 |
| syntax | could we make our own command like that | 05:35 |
| bishop | possible hijack. can not stay long...thanks | 05:35 |

| fsufitch | legend2440: rww's solution worked | 05:41 |
| rww | legend2440: -d is to upgrade to development releases, not to do 8.04>8.10 | 05:41 |
| linux | chris__: ok you downloaded the file, then you go to applications, accessories, terminal | 05:41 |

| rymo_ | linux: you mean try bg the hung xinit? | 05:43 |
| vrakesh | i tried wubi also | 05:43 |
| rymo_ | (is that what's hung?) | 05:44 |
| nanotube | vrakesh: so you want to install it /inside/ windows? as in, so you can run both at the same time? | 05:44 |
| vrakesh | but i cant run it inside windos | 05:44 |
| vrakesh | nanotube:s | 05:44 |
| linux | rymo_: its a far out suggestion, but the only i can think of (xinit is usually running, but startx is just the script for xinit) | 05:44 |

| dsnyders | Hi all. Why do I get an error on: find . -iname *pdf -print | 05:45 |
| thiebaude | !wine | 05:45 |
| ubottu | WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu | 05:45 |
| rww | vrakesh: if you install the Guest Additions for virtualbox, you should be able to get full screen. The people in #vbox can help with that. | 05:45 |
| chris__ | linux: ? terminal? | 05:45 |
| nanotube | dsnyders: depends on what kind of error you get :) | 05:45 |
| linux | chris__: terminal | 05:46 |
| zefyx | anyway to make apitude uninstall say, all packages i installed within the last 2-3 hours | 05:46 |
| q0_0p | how do i retrieve my tomboy notes from applet? i have a tar backup of my system elsewhere and i dont want to reboot it up again? | 05:46 |
| vrakesh | rww:thnx | 05:46 |
| dsnyders | nanotube, The error is- find: paths must precede expression | 05:46 |
| nanotube | q0_0p: it's somewhere in ~/.tomboy , probably ? | 05:46 |
| chris__ | linux: you told me to bring up terminal, what do i do with it? | 05:46 |
| edbian | zefyx: You'd have to look at the log and figure out witch packages actually have been installed in the last 2-3 hours manually (or just remember) and then give the command to remove them. | 05:47 |
| prince_jammys | dsnyders: quote the glob you give to find, because there's pdf files in your current dir. | 05:47 |
| q0_0p | i will look thx | 05:47 |
| prince_jammys | dsnyders: '*.pdf' <-quoted | 05:47 |
| rww | zefyx: that log is at /var/log/apt/term.log (you'll need to do sudo nano or gksudo gedit to view it). | 05:47 |
| zefyx | thanks | 05:47 |
| prince_jammys | dsnyders: else the shell expands *.pdf before running find. | 05:47 |
| vrakesh | where do i get tadditionshe guest | 05:47 |
| q0_0p | nanotube, thx i will try | 05:47 |
| nanotube | q0_0p: yea, they're there, i just checked :) | 05:47 |
| dsnyders | prince_jammys, I was just about to ask if that was what was happening. | 05:48 |
| vrakesh | where do i get the guest additions for virtual box | 05:48 |
| linux | chris__: find where the file downloaded using cd and ls, then when you see it, "tar -xvf *.tar.gz", then cd into the folder, "./configure && make && sudo make install" | 05:48 |
| prince_jammys | dsnyders: globs are normally not quoted, but in the case of find command, they are, because they have to be processed by find. | 05:48 |
| nanotube | vrakesh: once virtualbox is open and booted to windows, should find it in the menu. something like (tools -> install guest additions) | 05:48 |

| Andorin | edbian: I have a vague idea of what compiz is, but I don't know how to check whether I'm running it, using it, have accidentally configured it, etc. =/ | 05:52 |
| rymo_ | and i won't lose gui programs? | 05:52 |

| stlsaint | nanotube: true true...but using the kill cmd how would you get them back? | 05:55 |
| nanotube | cbcbilling: give it a try. are you on 32bit or 64bit ubunut? | 05:55 |
| nanotube | stlsaint: by default, killall sends a "restart" signal, rather than a kill signal, so they restart automatically. | 05:55 |
| stlsaint | nice | 05:56 |
| slimjimflim | hi i just did a dual boot install w/ vista...installed vista first then jaunty...but now linux only has about 3 gb even though i originally gave it about 150gb...anybody familiar with this issue? | 05:56 |
| cbcbilling | nanotube: my queston is do this browser has no issues with java and flash? | 05:56 |
| nanotube | stlsaint: if they are really hung and you have to really kill, just run "gnome-panel &" and "nautilus &" from a treminal, to restart. | 05:56 |
| stlsaint | hey chris...need some specs...are you in ubuntu using a vm or are you in windows?!! | 05:56 |
| cbcbilling | nanotube: is it also for hardy | 05:56 |
| nanotube | cbcbilling: if you are on 32bit, no issues at all, all your plugins will work without any changes. if on 64bit, you have to fiddle around a little to get them working. (see the ubuntuzila faq for 64bit users) | 05:56 |
| dsnyders | slimjimflim, have you mounted everything? | 05:56 |
| chris__ | stlsaint: im using linux | 05:56 |
| slimjimflim | dsnyders, yea | 05:57 |
| nanotube | cbcbilling: hardy should be just fine. | 05:57 |
| chris__ | stlsaint: dual boot | 05:57 |
| cbcbilling | nanotube: im using 32 bit..... | 05:57 |

| vrakesh | what essential packages has to be installed aftr installin ubuntu | 05:57 |
| cbcbilling | nanotube: ill try it now | 05:57 |
| nanotube | cbcbilling: no prob - give it a try, if anything goes wrong just post in the ubuntuzilla support forums (or ask me here if i'm still awake) :) | 05:57 |
| nanotube | vrakesh: everything "essential" is installed by default. anything extra you install depends on what you need. | 05:58 |
| z3ro3x | I managed to setup OpenVPN so my brother's laptop will connect to me from any where and any time so it's easy to admin his system when he needs help. My only issue is this. After setting up the bridged network Ubuntu boots up slow as hell. I used Starup-Manager to change the splash screen so that I can see boot process. It pauses for a long time on I think it was called Configuring Network Interfaces. Every thing works fine | 05:59 |
| z3ro3x | . It just causes a slow as hell boot and I was wondering how can I fix the boot time? | 05:59 |
| cbcbilling | nanotube: damn it says its only for jaunty... imusing hardy | 05:59 |
| stlsaint | chris: check out soundKonverter | 05:59 |
| nanotube | cbcbilling: what says it's only for jaunty? if you try to install the .deb, it refuses? | 06:00 |
| stlsaint | im using ubuntu...chris what are you using | 06:00 |
| dsnyders | slimjimflim, I'm drawing a blank, unless it's a mount issue, or possibly a drive recognition problem. | 06:01 |

| nanotube | cbcbilling: i'm running it just fine on intrepid right now, no problems.... could you tell me what exactly you're seeing that says it's for jaunty only? | 06:02 |
| nanotube | vrakesh: easiest way is ssh. | 06:02 |
| Pitch | vrakesh: you need to set up samba, ftp, or http server in linux | 06:02 |
| chris__ | stlsaint: how do i ... install this program on this website? | 06:02 |

| nanotube | vrakesh: set up openssh-server on linux, then use winscp client on windows. | 06:03 |
| Veinor | WinSCP to copy files, PuTTY for an actual ssh session | 06:03 |

| ghostdad | I want to setup ubuntu to use multiple partitions. I want to create a small / partition with a large /home partition. What is a reasonable size for the / partition? I don't want to run out of space on that, but I don't want there to be a ton of unused space on it either. | 06:03 |
| Thibit | Does anyone have experience with the Trackpoint, 9.04, and easystroke? I'm having an issue with getting the gestures to be recognized. | 06:03 |
| Pitch | vrakesh: if you just want file sharing you can use samba server | 06:03 |
| Veinor | ghostdad: how big is your HD, and what are you going to be doing on the computer? | 06:04 |
| nanotube | cbcbilling: don't read blogs - read the ubuntuzilla website - it has all the instructions and everything :) | 06:04 |
| ghostdad | Veinor: It's a 150gb hard drive and it will mostly just be used as a file server | 06:04 |
| Veinor | you can probably get away with 10-15 GB for / | 06:04 |
| vrakesh | pitch: itried | 06:04 |
| Veinor | and that's erring on the safe side | 06:04 |
| vrakesh | it didnt work | 06:04 |
| Pitch | can anyone tell how to edit places menu in ubuntu ? | 06:04 |
| vrakesh | modified config file also | 06:04 |
| ghostdad | veinor: will that be comfortable though? how large is a default ubuntu installation? | 06:05 |
| nanotube | ghostdad: 10g for / should be plenty. | 06:05 |
| dsnyders | Veinor, There is also a part of the PuTTY suite called pscp for copying files. | 06:05 |
| nanotube | ghostdad: default ubuntu install is only 3-4g | 06:05 |
| ghostdad | ah okay | 06:05 |
| ghostdad | thanks | 06:05 |
| nanotube | ghostdad: there's no way you'll install 6g of packages :) | 06:05 |

| geneticx | hello everyone. I'm having really slow downloads in my ubuntu box, i've noticed ssh is very slow also..what could be wrong? | 06:05 |
| Veinor | yeah, the only way you'd do that would be if you were doing development and needed -dev packages | 06:05 |
| Veinor | mrproper: are you using compiz? | 06:05 |
| mrproper | Veinor: Yes | 06:06 |
| Veinor | windows key and n at the same time | 06:06 |
| Veinor | er, m | 06:06 |
| mrproper | Veinor: that only does one window, not all them | 06:06 |
| Veinor | do m then | 06:06 |
| geneticx | I have another computer on the network and I tested by downloading two exact files from the internet and one was done at 172kbps the other (ubuntu) at 23 kbps | 06:06 |
| Veinor | n swaps one window, m swaps them all | 06:06 |
| mrproper | Veinor: How can I disable that? | 06:06 |
| nanotube | geneticx: are you on wireless on that comp? | 06:06 |
| geneticx | nanotube: no | 06:07 |
| ghostdad | also if i buy a second (larger) hard drive, will i be able to reassign that as the /home directory? | 06:07 |
| Veinor | mrproper: install the package compizconfig-settings-manager | 06:07 |
| cbcbilling | nanotube: yeah, am just really excited with it... lol | 06:07 |
| ghostdad | er, /home partition | 06:07 |

| Veinor | you can customize the displayed name by putting it after the file, like file:///tmp Temporary Folder | 06:10 |

| Loafers | Why am I unable to move a 4.4 GB File onto my 100 GB External HD formatted as FAT 32? | 06:42 |
| Veinor | it's cool :D | 06:42 |
| lstarnes | Loafers: doesn't FAT 32 have a file size limit? | 06:42 |
| nanotube | WilliamC: good thing i don't have to mount ntfs drives on my linux. :) | 06:42 |
| Pitch | Veinor: done both, fstab does not have any mention about /media/WinXP | 06:42 |
| Viking667 | it does - about 2GB if I remember correctly | 06:42 |
| Veinor | Loafers: Because the FAT32 filesize is 4 GB - 1 byte | 06:42 |
| nanotube | lstarnes: Loafers: indeed, it does, max size is 4g | 06:42 |
| Veinor | Pitch: odd, it shouldn't auto-mount it then | 06:42 |
| nanotube | or was that 2g? | 06:42 |
| Loafers | Veinor, What should I do then? GParted won't let me format it as NTFS... | 06:43 |
| Veinor | Loafers: it won't? | 06:43 |
| Veinor | is ntfs-3g installed? | 06:43 |
| Loafers | Veinor, The option is greyed out. | 06:43 |
| Xerran | edbian: actually you can flash a BIOS from within an OS but I'm not sure about Linux | 06:43 |
| nanotube | WilliamC: haven't had reason to mount anything ntfs in years... but my understanding is that ntfs3g has gotten that down by now... | 06:43 |
| Veinor | if the package ntfs-3g isn't installed on your computer, do that and then try | 06:44 |
| Xerran | it's unsafe anyway | 06:44 |
| lowlycoder | how can i play mid files on ubuntu? | 06:44 |
| Loafers | Veinor, ntfs-3g 2009.2.1 external FUSE 27 - Third Generation NTFS Driver Yeah its installed | 06:44 |
| nanotube | Loafers: try "sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g ntfsprogs", then gparted again. | 06:44 |
| Veinor | Oh yeah | 06:44 |
| Veinor | ntfsprogs | 06:44 |
| Loafers | nanotube, ok thanks | 06:44 |
| Pitch | Veinor: it is controlled by gnome gvfs deamon, not by fstab, but I don't know which file it is reading before mounting the partitions | 06:44 |
| Veinor | I dunno, then | 06:45 |
| Veinor | :/ | 06:45 |
| nanotube | lowlycoder: hrmm... try searching in synaptic, by description and name, for 'midi', i bet you'll come up with something. | 06:45 |
| greyz` | i am using ubuntu 9.04 and when i tried 'amarok 2.02 KDE' there was no sound, so I followed the advise here: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/amarok/+question/67045 -- by installing those 4 packages mentioned in the second post.

| L1nUX1z3R | it should | 06:58 |
| sond | L1nUX1z3R: but can not get it to mount rw | 06:58 |
| corpxicle | bonez46: just like you did useradd | 06:58 |

| * P79 announces: "Fortune Cookie is now ACTIVE" Use: +fortune and you will get a fortune cookie :) | 07:13 | |
| dsnyders | sond, because you say it goes back to readonly when you reboot. Mounting is controlled by the /etc/fstab file. So we need to check whether it is being told to mount readonly. | 07:14 |
| nascentmind | ziroday, i am not using any ppas. | 07:14 |

| ubottu | UBUNTU-ROCKZ-: The Ubuntu Desktop CD is a "LiveCD" which can be run without altering existing files on your harddrive. Especially useful for testing your hardware's compatibility, it also includes an install option. | 07:31 |
| xim_ | has nobody ever found a stable ubuntu solution to playing flash videos? | 07:31 |
| cuddlefish | The output works, but all I get is static for the Mic | 07:31 |
| UBUNTU-ROCKZ- | i know what a live cd is | 07:31 |
| cuddlefish | _xim: try Flash | 07:31 |
| gartral | xim_: flash 9 dev r256 is working fine for me | 07:31 |
| maco | UBUNTU-ROCKZ-: locked....you sure its not just mounted? unmount it then resize? | 07:31 |
| xim_ | cuddlefish, thanks for the helpful reply | 07:32 |
| spO | apt-get build-dep will build any dependencies that a package needs? | 07:32 |
| Flannel | spO: | 07:32 |
| xim_ | gartral, are you on 32 or 64 bit? | 07:32 |
| UBUNTU-ROCKZ- | i donu how can i unmount | 07:32 |
| cuddlefish | you're welcome! | 07:32 |
| Hollywood-Hogan | Hi could someone help me with Ubuntu install display problem? | 07:32 |
| gartral | xim_: 32 and 64, both work, but 32 isn't producing sound >.< | 07:32 |
| Flannel | spO: no, it gets the dependencies needed to build. | 07:32 |
| dsnyders | sond, what do you get when you: ls -ld /bob | 07:32 |
| UBUNTU-ROCKZ- | how to unmount a partision | 07:32 |
| gartral | UBUNTU-ROCKZ-: umount, and please stop butchering the word "Partition" | 07:33 |
| spO | flannel, dpkg -i somedebpackage.deb won't install because ti has dependencies, but apt-get build-dep somedebpackage won't fix that? | 07:33 |
| UBUNTU-ROCKZ- | how to unmount | 07:33 |
| crushyboi | i have multiple ip's on my server which i added using network script, now what i want is, whenever a users request sometihng from server using server ip for example 192.168.1.2 on port 6000 then the data should be returned from the same ip rather than tha main ip of server. is it possible anyway? | 07:33 |
| Hollywood-Hogan | I am installing Ubuntu on a laptop that has dead display on laptop, so I connect to CRT monitor. I boot the livedisc and can see Ubuntu load, but then I lose my display once I enter the GNOME. Same wiht the Install screen. I replace CRT, same problem. Any ideas? | 07:34 |
| gartral | UBUNTU-ROCKZ-: i just told told you, umount... so you would use umount /dev/sda once in the live d.. and please GOD don't do that when your booted off the hard drive | 07:34 |
| Flannel | spO: No, Try gdebi instead of dpkg | 07:34 |
| SunStealer | anyone do photo printing in linux? I got an epson 3800 stylus pro, and some sites says that it will be a very expensive paper weight in linux | 07:34 |
| UBUNTU-ROCKZ- | thx for help | 07:35 |
| crushyboi | i have multiple ip's on my server which i added using network script, now what i want is, whenever a users request sometihng from server using server ip for example 192.168.1.2 on port 6000 then the data should be returned from the same ip rather than tha main ip of server. is it possible anyway? | 07:35 |
| grawity | crushyboi: Isn't that how it always works? | 07:35 |
| gartral | SunStealer: epson, lexmark, and i *think* brother printers have no support in linux | 07:35 |
| eoamit | I'm trying to compare the differences between two ANSI encoded files. When I try "diff -a file1 file2 > output.txt", I get a bunch of jarbled text. What can I do? | 07:36 |
| minixi | crushyboi, only through routing | 07:36 |
| gartral | does anyone know why it is when i unmount a flash drive the NODE dissappears and i cant edit the partitions? | 07:36 |
| crushyboi | grawity: no, the service which i bind to an ip like 192.168.1.2 on port 6000 if i connect to it and check packets, packet comes from server ip like 192.168.1.1 rather than 192.168.1.2 | 07:36 |
| minixi | crushyboi, one server you can do this with, however, is apache configured for virtual IPs | 07:36 |
| SunStealer | gartral: ach, well, that ends my testing linux :/ | 07:36 |
| gartral | SunStealer: sorry, maybe you could write a driver? | 07:37 |
| SunStealer | gartral: haha, I'm the least programming savvy creature on this side of equator I'm afraid :-) | 07:37 |
| crushyboi | minixi: its a proxy server ss5 which i bind to particular ip on particular port, problem is the return ip, no matter what ip i use, but client gets the main ip of server. | 07:37 |
| minixi | SunStealer, you can do two things; try to get it working with Wine, or find a wrapper for the driver | 07:38 |
| dsnyders | SunStealer, don't let that turn you off linux. You may be able to use some alternate driver, or run a virtual windows. | 07:38 |
| minixi | crushyboi, yes, that's because of the routing | 07:38 |
| sond | dsnyders: ls -ld /bob . | 07:39 |
| minixi | crushyboi, you could define static routes, but it wouldn't be feasible for a large number of clients | 07:39 |
| SunStealer | hmm, I'm kind of dependant on 100% correct color control etc, but I'll see what i can find on wrappers! | 07:39 |
| maco | hp printers are like $60 and all work as soon as plugged in | 07:39 |
| SunStealer | (can you run a driver from withing for instance wine?) | 07:39 |
| maco | and actually, lexmark has drivers | 07:39 |
| SunStealer | hehe, my printer is 1600,- and print amazingly :-) | 07:39 |
| dsnyders | sond, yes, what's the output? | 07:39 |
| maco | theyre not postscript printers with ppd's like we're used to, but they do provide compilable drivers on the website | 07:39 |
| crushyboi | minixi: can we do something like route will check for which ip the request came from and then return with same ip? | 07:39 |
| minixi | crushyboi, the only other way is running small virtual machines and route via NAT | 07:39 |
| maco | and a kit for writing drivers if you find one not currently supported, i think | 07:40 |
| minixi | crushyboi, you could do that statically | 07:40 |
| minixi | crushyboi, research static routing | 07:40 |
| crushyboi | minixi, ok bro, but am lost for now, don't know anythng about static routing. | 07:40 |
| WilliamC | I need to put my Linux PC on something, laying on the floor and looking up at the monitor hurts my neck | 07:40 |
| minixi | crushyboi, but going the virtual OS path is almost always easier | 07:40 |
| sond | dsnyders: thats it for the /bob it returns a dot if i do ls -al /bob i get the dir listing i expect | 07:40 |
| crushyboi | minixi, though i heard its possible using iptables, but i don't know how | 07:40 |
| minixi | crushyboi, lol, well your problem is all about routing. :) | 07:41 |
| SunStealer | I'll look into pwrappers | 07:41 |
| WilliamC | Also, should I switch back to XP due to me mostly being a gamer? | 07:41 |
| minixi | crushyboi, yeah, you could NAT the traffic coming in ... but again, that is routing | 07:41 |
| minixi | WilliamC, dual booting seems too hard? | 07:41 |
| crushyboi | any howto's for that? or if you can explain , i will be thankful to you :) | 07:41 |
| chal`away | are there secrets to installing Skype on Jaunty/ 9.04? | 07:42 |
| minixi | SunStealer, yeah you may find a wrapper ... maybe ndis | 07:42 |
| gartral | chal`away: called gizmo | 07:42 |
| WilliamC | minixi, I generally don't have a purpose to do it, and really I have no reason, other than curiosity, to be running Linux, I mean, it's not faster than Windows. | 07:42 |
| WilliamC | I play games. | 07:43 |
| dsnyders | sond, weird. You should be getting something like drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 48 2007-03-01 23:51 /bob | 07:43 |
| chal`away | gartral, should i google that? i have 64 bit | 07:43 |
| minixi | SunStealer, sorry, hit enter too soon :) ... "maybe ndis like wrapper" | 07:43 |
| minixi | WilliamC, then don't use it lol | 07:43 |
| gartral | !gizmo | chal`away | 07:43 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about gizmo | 07:43 |

| dsnyders | sond, try ls -ld / | 07:44 |
| WilliamC | gartral, that's just what I said. | 07:44 |
| crushyboi | chal`away : try this http://technical-itch.co.uk/2007/09/18/how-to-install-skype-on-ubuntu/ | 07:45 |
| dsnyders | sond, sorry, ls -l / | 07:45 |
| gartral | WilliamC: ok, you beat me too it well i was typeing names, but don't ya know redundancy is a good thing in computing ;) | 07:45 |
| chal`away | crushyboi, thanks :) | 07:45 |
| WilliamC | Anyways, is using WINE to run Windows games faster than running Windows games in Windows? | 07:46 |
| minixi | crushyboi, it's not all that hard. Take a day and study routing. You'll be a better person for it | 07:46 |
| sond | dsnyders: duh ! sorry i was in /bob when it returned the dot from / doing ls -ld i get as above drwxr-xr-x root root /bob etc | 07:47 |
| minixi | WilliamC, of course not | 07:47 |
| minixi | WilliamC, dude, just use windows. It makes you happy | 07:47 |
| WilliamC | Uh, I need to download Windows, I have the serial still though | 07:47 |

| saurabh_ | hey, can any one help me with adobe flash plugin issue?? | 07:48 |
| crushyboi | :( | 07:49 |
| WilliamC | What's the issue? | 07:49 |
| kiaas__ | gartral, you have to get the ISO from a valid source. Guess what..the pirate bay isn't a valid source. | 07:49 |
| saurabh_ | actually, I ahve the latest adobe's flash plugin installed, but whenever I watch videos on youtube, it says to upgrade | 07:49 |
| minixi | who cares what he does or how he does it? It's not relevant to the purpose of this channel | 07:50 |
| saurabh_ | while, on other sites, it says to install adobe plugin to view video | 07:50 |
| zamolxes | hello. I installed a fresh 9.04 , installed the nvidia drivers and did the updates simultaneously, and on reboot xorg didn't start (no screens found) . Now I reinstalled the system (not because of that, i needed raid and didn't have an alternate cd handy then). Question: what caused xorg to bork? should i install the updates, reboot, then install the nvidia drivers? | 07:50 |
| gartral | kiaas__: um... MS does have it on their ftp site, ever since that CAL for Vista | 07:50 |
| grawity | who cares if it's MS or TPB... you have a license to use one copy of $RELEASE, that's all. </offtopic> | 07:50 |
| WilliamC | Have you checked what version it says is installed in browser? | 07:50 |
| saurabh_ | WilliamC, can u help me?? | 07:50 |

| kiaas__ | Bah. When is adobe going to fix the massive slow downs in flash? Firefox under WINE locks up a lot. | 07:50 |
| zamolxes | i figured maybe a new xorg/kernel got in with the updates and that caused it | 07:50 |
| Guest181 | hello everyone, can some one please tell me how I can copy a file from ROOT to desktop? | 07:50 |
| th^ | zamolxes: breakage sounds pretty.. strange. but i would do either one first | 07:50 |
| th^ | zamolxes: yes, nvidia has kernel drivers :p there's a slight change something went wrong there. but i've never seen such thing happen | 07:51 |
| th^ | zamolxes: especially since X should always start in VGA safe mode | 07:51 |
| Pecar | hi is tthere some program to synchronize with a palm hp which in win uses Hotsync for this proposal? | 07:51 |
| dsnyders | sond, sorry, nothing is sticking out to me. It may be that the drive cable may not be seated fully. Anyways, I've got to sleep. Sorry I wasn't able to help. | 07:51 |
| saurabh_ | WilliamC, would u mind to come for a private chat | 07:52 |
| zamolxes | th^: I didn't do anything too advanced, just responded to the popups with clicks :) | 07:52 |
| gregorio1982 | qui italiani? | 07:52 |
| th^ | Zedde: yep, it sounds strange still :p | 07:52 |
| gwildor | Pecar, open synaptic, and seardch for palm pilot.....you would get the result faster than i could look then post here | 07:52 |

| th^ | *zamolxes | 07:52 |
| gregorio1982 | ty | 07:52 |
| th^ | zamolxes: try installing nvidia drivers first - check if it boots up, then install updates | 07:53 |
| zamolxes | th^: right. maybe when i have the time i'll try to reproduce it and see what actually went wrong | 07:53 |
| sond | dsnyders: thanks for trying - yep its a weird one - i may try to clone it to another disk (dd if=/dev/sdb1 of=/dev/newdisk ) then do those edits .. | 07:53 |
| zamolxes | although it could've been a random event | 07:53 |
| th^ | zamolxes: though i don't even see how you could do those things same time, as apt can operate only one instance at time :p sounds like a bug in driver manager if it allows that | 07:53 |
| zamolxes | th^: i think nvidia already finished installing its thing | 07:54 |
| Hordeking | Howdy. I've got a few questions for someone in the know about sound with X, and fstab (the way ubuntu is doing it) | 07:54 |

| th^ | zamolxes: although... now since there's that KVM thing that builds new kernel modules in boot, it might be that it built for older kernel.. | 07:55 |

| Hordeking | Whatever...why the hell does sound stop when I alt-Fn to a console terminal, and how to I stop that bad behavior? | 07:55 |
| simohayha | hi, can anyone please tell me how I can copy a file from ROOT directory to Desktop? | 07:55 |

| th^ | simohayha: what file you're trying to copy? | 07:56 |
| Hordeking | minixi: gconf then? | 07:57 |
| minixi | Hordeking, I don't use Gnome so I can't help you there, but someone could point you to it's conf ... gconf | 07:57 |
| minixi | yeah | 07:57 |
| RPG_Master | Has anyone else gotten the update which merges both your Firefox 3.0.13 and "Abrowser" into Shrateko? | 07:57 |
| simohayha | th^, its a .dv file I captured from my camcorder with Kino | 07:57 |
| minixi | Hordeking, you'll find the key combos somewhere. They are usually easily found and changed | 07:57 |
| th^ | simohayha: make sure the file has right to read too. 2nd click and properties, check it has 'read' flags | 07:58 |
| Hordeking | minixi: This doesn't sound much like a key combo thing...should sound keep on playing even if I go to a different terminal? | 07:58 |
| Hordeking | shouldn't, I should say | 07:58 |
| chal`away | crushyboi, still here? | 07:58 |
| Hordeking | minixi: ESD is the sound manager, how do I get at its configs? | 07:59 |

| minixi | Hordeking, describe your problem in more detail. What app is playing the sound? What do you do that stops the sound? | 08:00 |
| th^ | simohayha: bizarre. try copy from terminal. can you do that or need instructions? :) | 08:00 |
| chal`away | http://technical-itch.co.uk/2007/09/18/how-to-install-skype-on-ubuntu/ says i should have 'Tools --> Repositories.' I don't see tools? | 08:00 |
| wally1337 | what's the difference between xubuntu-9.04-alternate-i386.iso and xubuntu-9.04-desktop-i386.iso | 08:00 |
| Hordeking | minixi: Well, I've never seen this issue before. I'm just playing audio through audacious, and I alt-f1'd to a console session to do some stuff, and the sound stopped. Then, when I came back, it started immediately. | 08:01 |
| th^ | wally1337: alternative has text-mode installer only | 08:01 |
| RPG_Master | OK, so I un-installed Firefox 3.5 and disabled the Ubuntu-Mozilla repo. But after I reinstalled Firefox 3.0.13 my add-ons, history, and bookmarks are gone but they're still in /.mozilla/Firefox . How do I fix this? | 08:01 |
| minixi | wally1337, more Nirvana mp3s in the alternative one | 08:01 |
| UBUNTU-ROCKZ- | i want to make my ubuntu partition bigger but its locked(not mounted i just tryed to umount on my live cd) can someone tell me how to unlock it (i am on the live cd right now) | 08:01 |
| Hordeking | minixi: It seems a little far-fetched that the whole program would stop when I do that. | 08:01 |
| minixi | Hordeking, what happens when you start a terminal another way? | 08:01 |
| minixi | Hordeking, not with alt-f1 | 08:01 |
| thedeacon | when converting wmv to avi with mencoder I get a lot of "failed to open registry file" and "xx duplicate frames" - am i missing something? | 08:01 |

| th^ | chal`away: System > Administration > Software sources is what you're looking for :) | 08:01 |
| grawity | simohayha: You need to specify the source filename too... | 08:02 |
| Hordeking | minixi: You mean just by going to the menu and pulling up a terminal session? Nothing I wouldn't have expected. Sound keeps going, etc | 08:02 |
| th^ | simohayha: if you want copy directories with cp, you need -R (recursive) parameter. did you really point cp to the _file_, not directory? | 08:02 |

| crushyboi | hi minixi | 08:02 |
| Hordeking | minixi: All I did was alt-ctrl-f1 to a console window, like any sane linux distro | 08:02 |
| crushyboi | can we route using iptables using the source header marking? | 08:02 |
| Hordeking | minixi: I've been opening terminal windows all night with no problems noticed. | 08:03 |
| chal`away | th^ i got that part, i'm inside Synaptic, i think.. but no Tools, that I can see? | 08:03 |
| simohayha | th^, this is what I tried- sudo cp /root /home/simo/Desktop | 08:03 |
| minixi | Hordeking, er, now you are saying you dropped from the GUI into a console login? | 08:03 |
| RPG_Master | UBUNTU-ROCKZ-: Dude, try running "sudo gparted" in the terminal | 08:03 |
| gwildor | minixi, he is changing to a different tty | 08:03 |
| th^ | chal`away: tool i listed opens the dialog you want for. i dunno why it's not there | 08:03 |
| Hordeking | minixi: Yup, tty's 1-4 all have the same effect. Come back to the X session, and it cranks back up | 08:04 |
| th^ | chal`away: but system>administration>software sources opens the dialog in picture | 08:04 |
| UBUNTU-ROCKZ- | no two | 08:04 |
| minixi | Hordeking, of course | 08:04 |
| gwildor | Hordeking, you have used windows?... you have used fast user switching?... that is what you are doing when you change tty | 08:04 |
| minixi | Hordeking, when you go to terminal you are breaking the pipe to the GUI and the apps started through it | 08:04 |
| xim_ | is there any way in gnome-terminal to send an f10 command or an f1 command (they both go to the gui) | 08:04 |
| gwildor | Hordeking, all sound stuff is on tty1, when you change to tty2 sound isnt running anymore on what you are veiwing..... | 08:05 |
| minixi | Hordeking, try starting the sound with a CLI app and put it in the background and then switch to a terminal and see what happens | 08:05 |
| Hordeking | minixi: I don't get it. How is that breaking the pipe? Shouldn't the pipe go right on existing? | 08:05 |
| gwildor | Hordeking, you wouldnt want to hear the last channel, when you change to a new one when watching tv, would you | 08:05 |
| gwildor | Hordeking, all sound stuff is on tty1, when you change to tty2 sound isnt running anymore on what you are veiwing..... | 08:05 |
| RPG_Master | Second post: OK, so I un-installed Firefox 3.5 and disabled the Ubuntu-Mozilla repo. But after I reinstalled Firefox 3.0.13 my add-ons, history, and bookmarks are gone but they're still in /.mozilla/Firefox . How do I fix this? | 08:05 |
| simohayha | grawity, thanks man I forgot to do that. Solved my prob | 08:06 |
| minixi | Hordeking, the sound is still playing, but not on the new session ... only the old session | 08:06 |
| simohayha | th^, solved my prob thanks a lot | 08:06 |

| prodigel | Hi. I've noticed nautilus sometimes displays old thumbnails for some pictures, and that's very confusing. I was wondering if there are alternatives in nautilus preferably gnome, that don't have this problem | 08:08 |
| kerm|t | how do i set window transparency? | 08:08 |
| thedeacon | Does anyone know what the command is to convert wmv to another video format | 08:08 |
| Hordeking | I exited the login, of course, the sound cranked back up when it went off to the X session...when I switched back to the terminal I logged off at, and log on again, the sound starts playing while at console... | 08:08 |
| prodigel | thedeacon, google for mencoder, that's the right tool | 08:08 |
| Hordeking | That's not something that makes sense to me, since I would expect the X session to keep on doing whatever it was doing before, regardless of what terminal I have it on. | 08:08 |

| minixi | Hordeking, you said you logged off from it?? | 08:09 |
| thedeacon | prodigel, i tried mencoder but get a bunch of duplicate frames and failed to open registry file output | 08:09 |
| Hordeking | minixi: Let me make sure they're all logged off. | 08:09 |
| th^ | chal`away: by the way, i think you can install skype .deb package directly from skype.com | 08:10 |

| Pecar | I've installed ubuntu and everything is ok but because an error somebody (me :P) shuts down from the button and then i can do nothing. It leaves me in an administrative shell as root. But everything i'll try it tolds me i can't do. It means x configuration or startx or whatever. What can i do. It seems to be mounted everything just reading mode. | 08:10 |
| chal`away | th^ i probably want these repositories and things, anyway | 08:10 |
| Hordeking | I'm sitting at almost a default ubuntu install. Hopefully this isn't related to the fact that I brought in my home directory over that which ubuntu set (which was related to the other questions I had) | 08:11 |

| Umeaboy | xim_: sudo aptitude install packagename. | 09:07 |
| inuh | gogeta: so what do i have to do | 09:08 |
| * gogeta has gone insane | 09:08 | |
| xim_ | Umeaboy, so aptitude installs local debs while apt-get fetches remote ones and then installs them? | 09:08 |
| Dextorion | xim_, aptitude installs both remote and local packages. | 09:08 |
| Umeaboy | xim_: As far as I can see it, yes. | 09:09 |
| Dextorion | xim_, aptitude is a bit newer that apt-get if i recall correctly | 09:09 |

| gogeta | you dont do it at all | 09:13 |

| gartral | ok, im trying to "clean up" an appearently damaged San Disk Cruzer micro that has a bad fs.. fsck says the drive has a bad boot sector, though the drive doesnt have any bootable data in it, what should i do? | 09:16 |
| gogeta | inuh: the live cd will not do such a sscan | 09:16 |
| gogeta | gartral: just delete the entire fs and make a new one | 09:17 |
| inuh | gogeta: so i have to boot it from my pc and do a scan ??? | 09:17 |
| gogeta | inuh: you on live cd or hdd | 09:17 |
| inuh | live cd | 09:17 |
| gartral | gogeta: i cant... the drive's node "dissappears" when i try too do that | 09:17 |
| inuh | gogeta: i am on live cd | 09:18 |
| gogeta | gartral: toss it in the garbage | 09:18 |
| gartral | gogeta: its one of those U3 smart drives, it isn't mine, and i have too repair it | 09:18 |
| hateball | I have an Ubuntu 8.04 running in VmWare ESX. Anyone have any idea why adding another 4GB ram on top of the 4GB that's there now would cause it to kernel panic on boot? And yes, it is 64bit | 09:18 |
| gogeta | gartral: sd cards dont last forever | 09:18 |
| gartral | gogeta: and i HAVE removed the U3 software correctly | 09:18 |
| jacekowski | hateball: you can't run vmware esx on ubuntu | 09:19 |
| gartral | gogeta: its BRAND new.. i had to take it out of the packaging myself | 09:19 |
| jacekowski | hateball: vmware esx is running directly on hardware | 09:19 |
| gogeta | gartral: might be defectiv | 09:19 |
| gartral | gogeta: it isnt an sd card.. | 09:19 |
| hateball | jacekowski: That's great, and I already knew that. However if you read my question, you'd see I typed *in* rather than *on* | 09:19 |
| gartral | it worked before a write cycle got interupted by powerfailure | 09:19 |
| jacekowski | mhm | 09:20 |
| gogeta | gartral: reformating the drive should not creipple it | 09:20 |
| jacekowski | hateball: so you add 4G to host? | 09:20 |
| gartral | gogeta: as stated several times it's a U3 capable drive, and they weird | 09:20 |
| jacekowski | hateball: and it causes guest to panic? | 09:20 |
| Nom- | Hey all... this *may* be a little off-topic, but hoping you can help. I'm chasing a telnet or telnet-like tool which will let me specify a local (source) port to use on a connection -- I'm trying to verify a potential issue with some firewall rules on my network | 09:20 |
| hateball | jacekowski: No, to the guest... the 8.04 ubuntu running server kernel | 09:21 |
| gogeta | gartral: have you just tryed a reformat | 09:21 |
| vladk | A custom kernel that I recompiled is not able to load the propietary ATI 'fglrx' driver and its messing up my bootup. I tried switching to the 'radeon' driver in my xorg.conf but that doesnt even work with the standard ubuntu kernel. Is there a good resource for info on what I need to do to get fglrx to work with my custom kernel? I can only find info on using it with the ubuntu distribution kernels | 09:21 |
| gartral | gogeta: i said this, time and time again, i try and reformat it and the node for the drive dissappears after i unmount it | 09:21 |
| jacekowski | hateball: can you show that panic? | 09:21 |
| hateball | jacekowski: I'm running ubuntu on standard hardware where I have no problem adding a lot of ram. it just doesnt work well in vmware, but I dont know if it's a vmware or ubuntu issue. I mean... it doesnt work *in* vmware... but where is the blame? :) | 09:22 |
| gogeta | gartral: plug in windows box and do so | 09:22 |
| gogeta | gartral: they format mounted | 09:22 |

| gartral | gogeta: I wasn't sure if i should try, that's why im asking | 09:23 |
| hateball | jacekowski: Well I can, and it doesnt... at least not on 3.5 which I run | 09:23 |

| Bleupomme | hello, is it safe to use ext4 with jaunty netbook remix? | 10:03 |
| gartral | MacGyverNL: holey crap... testdisk forced the write! | 10:03 |
| MacGyverNL | It did? | 10:03 |
| goog | go goog ? | 10:04 |
| MacGyverNL | Cool :P | 10:04 |
| goog | kick goog out ! | 10:04 |
| gartral | MacGyverNL: now i did an analysis... and its failing 100% of the sectors! this might be a good thing | 10:04 |
| MacGyverNL | Or a bad one. But if it is, the drive couldn't be used anyway, so it's not as if there's any loss to be had here, only gain :P | 10:05 |
| gartral | MacGyverNL: AWESOME! the drive is clean | 10:05 |
| Bleupomme | hello is it safe to use ext4 with jaunty? | 10:06 |
| MacGyverNL | Send your thanks to the TestDisk devs ;) | 10:06 |
| Firefishe | What is the difference between ext3 and ext4? | 10:07 |
| MacGyverNL | 1 | 10:07 |
| gartral | MacGyverNL: ok.. nooberQ: whats the difference between FAT32 and FAT#@ LBA? | 10:07 |
| gartral | fat32 LBA | 10:07 |
| Firefishe | MacGyverNL: *snark* | 10:07 |
| MacGyverNL | LBA allows the BIOS to access disks over 8GiB, iirc. | 10:08 |
| gartral | MacGyverNL: seeing it's only a 1 gig drive, i can smeg that opt | 10:08 |
| MacGyverNL | I honestly don't know. FAT32 is past it's "best before" date anyway. | 10:09 |

| MacGyverNL | Firefishe: I suggest you read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext4 | 10:10 |
| MacGyverNL | It has most of the major differences listed. | 10:10 |
| gartral | MacGyverNL: next nooberQ: should i reinsert the drive before atempting to format the SoB? | 10:10 |
| MacGyverNL | gartral: Not necessarily, but I guess it can't hurt either. | 10:10 |

| Aayush | how to change runlevel at boot time | 10:29 |
| gartral | !runlevel | Aayush | 10:30 |
| ubottu | Aayush: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. | 10:30 |
| debra | hi, i just installed 9.04 on an older XP laptop but have not been able to get pandora.com to load via firefox, any ideas? | 10:31 |

| cHarNe2 | hi guys, i have some problem regarding VPN in the terminal (PPTP), anyone ever made a successful connection? | 10:32 |
| R0b0t1 | gartral: I mean, no execution of anything else, just the .xinitrc. would the Exec=~/.xinitrc work? | 10:32 |
| debra | yes, but it gave several plugins to load but they don't seem to load properly or can't find them wherever they are supposed to load from | 10:32 |
| Aayush | gartral, cant i send runlevel parameter to kernel at boot time | 10:33 |
| gartral | R0b0t1: not sure.. try? | 10:33 |

| Myrtti | I: if you're banned, how about you work your way towards becoming unbanned instead of evading the ban...? | 10:39 |
| Myrtti | crushyboi: no it's not active | 10:40 |
| inuh | i have a problem whit my ubuntu partition , its locked and i don't know how to unlock it | 10:40 |
| crushyboi | how to activate it @ myrtti can you help ? | 10:40 |
| ziroday | inuh: what are you trying to do to it? | 10:40 |
| Myrtti | inuh: patience! the people haven't really changed since you last asked! | 10:40 |
| inuh | i want to resize it | 10:40 |
| ActionParsnip1 | yo yo yo | 10:40 |
| crushyboi | inuh do you have dual booting ? | 10:41 |
| inuh | yea | 10:41 |
| ziroday | inuh: you need to unmount the partition before you can resize it | 10:41 |
| crushyboi | whats the partition type you trying to resize? | 10:41 |
| inuh | i did umount and it says it isn't mounted | 10:42 |
| Myrtti | inuh: which method did you use to install ubuntu in the first place? | 10:42 |
| ActionParsnip1 | inuh: if you run mount it will show what is mounted | 10:42 |
| inuh | i used the live cd | 10:42 |
| jacekowski | i'm copying my harddisk to new one | 10:42 |
| Myrtti | inuh: you installed from inside a live session that was Ubuntu, or from inside windows? | 10:42 |
| jacekowski | resizing and doing lot of stuff with it | 10:43 |
| inuh | from inside a live sesion | 10:43 |
| Myrtti | ok, just checking :-) | 10:43 |
| jacekowski | not really | 10:43 |
| jacekowski | from live system | 10:43 |
| ActionParsnip1 | jacekowski: make sure the data backup is recent on the partition(s) you are resizing | 10:43 |
| jacekowski | ActionParsnip1: it's reiserfs | 10:43 |
| inuh | if i do mount i get a load of text | 10:44 |
| jacekowski | and besides | 10:44 |
| jacekowski | i first copied it to new harddrive | 10:44 |
| jacekowski | and now i'm playing with partition sizes | 10:44 |
| ActionParsnip1 | jacekowski: doesnt matter, backups are still great for if something goes wrong | 10:44 |
| ziroday | inuh: could you please pastebin the output of mount and sudo fdisk -l | 10:44 |
| jacekowski | and only importand data that's on this disk is my porn collection | 10:44 |
| jacekowski | important* | 10:44 |
| ActionParsnip1 | nice :) | 10:45 |
| R0b0t1 | Does ubuntu "up" the internet devices via some widget in gnome? | 10:45 |
| crushyboi | i would have burnt my hard drive if i had porn on it | 10:45 |
| crushyboi | :) | 10:45 |
| R0b0t1 | So if I say, ran dwm, they would not start? | 10:45 |
| ActionParsnip1 | just make sure what you need isnt ultimately lost in an emergency and you can do what you like :) | 10:45 |
| ziroday | R0b0t1: if you did ifconfig <interface> down network-manager would not bring them back up. It would just fial | 10:45 |
| R0b0t1 | ziroday: Well, I mean, from the login screen, if I make my own *.desktop file, move it to /usr/share/xsessions etc.. | 10:46 |
| ActionParsnip1 | R0b0t1: you can add auto <interface name> in /etc/network/interfaces | 10:46 |
| R0b0t1 | Would it be expected that the xsessions file or something it calls ups the device? | 10:46 |
| inuh | http://paste.ubuntu.com/251254/ | 10:47 |
| ziroday | inuh: are you currently on the livecd? | 10:47 |
| outy | where does opera install to on ubuntu ? | 10:47 |
| inuh | ziroday: http://paste.ubuntu.com/251254/ | 10:47 |
| outy | or any program | 10:47 |
| ActionParsnip1 | R0b0t1: i wouldnt think network upage was the xsessions concern | 10:47 |
| ziroday | outy: in a variety of places. What are you looking for? | 10:48 |
| ActionParsnip1 | outy: due to the nature of linnux there is no one place | 10:48 |
| === elwood is now known as Guest91832 | ||
| R0b0t1 | Me neither, but ubuntu seems to do some odd things :\ | 10:48 |
| rchap | I am having trouble installing a mod for Springlobby. Any ideas? | 10:48 |
| ActionParsnip1 | outy: apps use may libs which are shared between other apps and will reside in /lib, binarys and other stuff will be elsewhere but it does not install to a single folder like windows does | 10:48 |
| Trijntje | Hi all, in evolution, when setting up your account with smpt you can select 'authentication PLAIN'. Does this mean that no authentication is used? | 10:49 |
| Myrtti | Trijntje: iirc it means that it is used, but it's not encrypted in any way | 10:49 |
| ziroday | Trijntje: it means your username and password are passed along the network in plaintext. | 10:50 |
| ActionParsnip1 | R0b0t1: i always use the interfaces file, makes life slicker | 10:50 |
| R0b0t1 | So auto eth1? | 10:50 |
| Trijntje | Myrtti, ziroday: so thats no good then, thanx for the reply | 10:50 |
| ActionParsnip1 | R0b0t1: indeed | 10:50 |
| R0b0t1 | Thanks :) | 10:50 |
| jacekowski | ActionParsnip1: resize on reiser is safe operation - it's builtin into kernel, it's journaled, there is no way that resize can go wrong - it's as safe as any other operation | 10:51 |
| ActionParsnip1 | jacekowski: what if you hav a power outage during the operation | 10:51 |
| inuh | ziroday: what do i have to do (sry i was away for 1min.) | 10:51 |
| Trijntje | ziroday, myrtti: but what if you select "use secure connection: TLS encryption" in combination with PLAIN? | 10:51 |
| jacekowski | ActionParsnip1: journal | 10:51 |
| ActionParsnip1 | jacekowski: or a surge | 10:51 |
| jacekowski | ActionParsnip1: resize on reiser is journaled | 10:51 |
| Idhan | hi, is there any way on linux to see the current level of my printer's ink | 10:52 |
| ActionParsnip1 | jacekowski: ive just seen too many people in here moaning their data is lost when they start doing stuff like that or when their drive dies and they havent got a backup but their data is "important" | 10:52 |
| jacekowski | ActionParsnip1: besides i have UPSes | 10:52 |
| ActionParsnip1 | jacekowski: its an eample | 10:52 |
| jacekowski | ActionParsnip1: and diesel generator that will start 10 seconds later | 10:52 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Idhan: depends if the printer driver can talk to the printer to ask it. HP ones usually can | 10:53 |
| Idhan | ActionParsnip1: I have a HP psc1310 | 10:54 |
| inuh | ziroday: can you help me plz | 10:54 |

| jacekowski | ActionParsnip1: and one more thing - i moving and resizing partitions on new disk, and old one is completly untouched | 10:54 |
| anux | yups | 10:54 |
| jacekowski | i'm* | 10:54 |
| Trijntje | In evolution account setup: what happen when you select "Use secure Connection TLS" to smtp with authentication: PLAIN. Is your password send in plaintext that way? | 10:55 |
| anux | terakhir sa dengar sudah alpha | 10:55 |
| ActionParsnip1 | jacekowski: its just a friendly warning RE what i said earlier | 10:55 |
| anux | tq actioons | 10:55 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Idhan: the hp driver in your task bar will tell you | 10:55 |
| anux | btw 9.04 support via chrome9 ? | 10:56 |
| anux | HCIGP | 10:56 |
| jacekowski | Trijntje: server needs to support encryption | 10:56 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Idhan: http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/install_wizard/index.html | 10:56 |
| jacekowski | Trijntje: and password is sent AFTER encryption is negotiated | 10:56 |
| Idhan | ActionParsnip1: I try "sudo apt-get install hplip" and is already installed... | 10:56 |
| Myrtti | Idhan: hplip-gui | 10:56 |
| Trijntje | jacekowski: so when i select TLS and PLAIN my password is not send in plaintext? | 10:57 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Idhan: there may be a newer version on the site | 10:57 |
| ActionParsnip1 | anux: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenChrome | 10:57 |
| jacekowski | Trijntje: that depends | 10:57 |
| jacekowski | Trijntje: it's sent in encrypted connection | 10:57 |
| jacekowski | Trijntje: but if somebody can acess endpoint of that connection then he can get that password | 10:58 |
| jacekowski | Trijntje: there is DIGEST authentication that doesn't send password over network | 10:59 |
| Idhan | Myrtti: thanks... I can see it right now. :) | 10:59 |
| Trijntje | jacekowski: ok, thats cool. But how do they know it is me than? | 10:59 |
| Aayush | i configured runlevel 3 as i need , how do i boot into in during boot time | 11:00 |
| jacekowski | Trijntje: challenge-response auth | 11:00 |
| anux | tq actions | 11:00 |
| jacekowski | Trijntje: server sends you a challenge which is then mixed with a password and server does same thing | 11:01 |
| jacekowski | Trijntje: and then response is sent back to server, if response calculated by server is same that means you have correct password | 11:01 |
| Trijntje | jacekowski: hmm, ill read into that. For the moment though the server only alows PLAIN over TLS. But as long as the password is not send over in plaintext i'm (quite) happy | 11:01 |
| jacekowski | Trijntje: challenge is different every time | 11:01 |
| Trijntje | jacekowski: thats a smart system, I wish they'd use that | 11:01 |
| jacekowski | Trijntje: with TLS password is only unencrypted on endpoints | 11:02 |
| jacekowski | but tls have couple weaknesses | 11:02 |
| jacekowski | but that's a long story | 11:03 |
| Trijntje | jacekowski: so where possible i should use ssl? | 11:03 |
| jacekowski | same problems | 11:03 |
| Trijntje | ah, so where possible i should use paper mail ;) | 11:03 |
| jacekowski | no | 11:03 |
| jacekowski | with tls or ssl | 11:03 |
| jacekowski | server confirms it's idenity | 11:04 |
| jacekowski | and if you are sure that's legit server | 11:04 |
| jacekowski | so when you connect to id you have to verify server certificate fingerprint | 11:05 |
| outy | are there any good docks for kde 64 ? | 11:05 |
| jacekowski | to it* | 11:05 |
| Trijntje | jacekowski: and evolution checks the certificate right? So thats quite safe i should think | 11:06 |
| vigge_sWe | hai | 11:06 |
| jacekowski | it checks stored fingerprint with current fingerprint | 11:06 |
| vigge_sWe | I'm quite new to linux | 11:06 |
| jacekowski | but | 11:06 |
| vigge_sWe | I am getting this in SSH: ./Aseco.sh: line 2: /dev/null: Permission denied | 11:06 |
| vigge_sWe | How would I go about fixing that? | 11:06 |
| jacekowski | how do you know that it isn't fingerprint of server that's in the middle and sniffs your traffic | 11:07 |
| jacekowski | when you connect first time you should verify that fingerprint | 11:07 |
| Trijntje | jacekowski: where can i find the fingerprint in evolution? | 11:08 |
| jacekowski | ussualy certificates are signed by verisign or somebody else | 11:08 |
| Yossi | how do i format a floppy to 1.72 mb? | 11:08 |

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 | 11:41 |

| ActionParsnip1 | ShapeShifter499: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/install-and-boot-ultimate-boot-cd-ubcd-from-a-usb-device/ | 13:05 |
| ActionParsnip1 | ShapeShifter499: the ISO is a bootable piece of data, you can copy the files to it but the bootable part of the stick is missing | 13:06 |
| rafiq | hi frns1 | 13:06 |
| Dr_Willis | nomike: if you want to test out ubuntu. you might want to try running it inside virtualbox. wubi can be.. problematic at times. | 13:07 |
| Dr_Willis | nomike: and im being very 'nice' about my feelings towards wubi. :) | 13:07 |
| ActionParsnip1 | nomike: or use at least a 2Gb USB stick and use that | 13:07 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Dr_Willis: right with you there dude | 13:07 |
| indus | unetbootin is good for making a bootable usb | 13:08 |
| ShapeShifter499 | ActionParsnip1: nvm I found a img file of UBCD | 13:08 |

| ubottu | fosser_josh: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 13:10 |
| nomike | Well, the reason for choosing wubi, is that it is a company laptop, and they do not officially alow me to install ubuntu on it (for private use). Tha't why I use wubi, as they are not experienced enough to detect it (and also I don't want to interfere with company data when doing private stuff in my spare time) | 13:11 |
| rafiq | E: Couldn't find package flashplugin-installer this isd msg | 13:11 |
| nomike | well what I could find through google truecrypt and wubi are not close friends... | 13:11 |

| ActionParsnip1 | rek: have you formatted the partition? | 14:25 |
| cresuso | Kottizen, It says no | 14:25 |
| vagothcpp | and sudo -i when I modify files/save files it is as my user? | 14:25 |
| cresuso | I'll seee bazhang, thank's | 14:25 |
| ActionParsnip1 | vagothcpp: sudo -i is an interactive sudo and will be your username just elevated in priveledges | 14:25 |
| rek | yep but....why can't i set the right device with blkid ??? | 14:25 |
| bazhang | cresuso, register and identify, #freenode for help in the future thanks | 14:26 |
| rek | he don't even display the drive in computer | 14:26 |
| ActionParsnip1 | vagothcpp: your settings for bash will be your own too as when you run sudo su your settings and home will be /root | 14:26 |
| cresuso | bazhang, Yes, sorry ;) | 14:26 |
| ActionParsnip1 | rek: you don't have to use blkid | 14:26 |
| rek | however now i try to see if there are some problems with the wires | 14:26 |
| ActionParsnip1 | rek: you can use it if you wish | 14:26 |
| rek | why ActionParsnip1 | 14:26 |
| ActionParsnip1 | !blkid | 14:26 |
| ubottu | To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) | 14:26 |
| Commander1024 | sudo su will most probably not load a sane profile environment (wrong or no %PATH set etc.) | 14:26 |
| ActionParsnip1 | rek: if the partition shows up in sudo fstab -l then its fine | 14:26 |
| rek | insane? | 14:27 |
| rek | no | 14:27 |
| schweizer_ | hi folks | 14:27 |
| rek | it does not work that command after i rebooted | 14:27 |
| ActionParsnip1 | vagothcpp: its just advised to use sudo -i | 14:27 |
| ActionParsnip1 | rek: then your wires may be loose | 14:27 |
| schweizer_ | how can i set up a pseudo printer so that i can print a document for instance to a png file with "soffice -pt pseudo_printer_png document" ? | 14:28 |

| EMPulse | hey guys | 14:44 |
| bazhang | nick_h, people know about google; this is a support channel not a redirect to google. | 14:44 |
| EMPulse | any idea how I can enable flash in chromium | 14:44 |
| nick_h | bazhang: i agree. but many questions can be answered by searching google, and many people don't bother to search google before asking | 14:45 |
| bazhang | nick_h, its not acceptable nonetheless. | 14:45 |
| nick_h | bazhang: i'm happy to conform to the channel's guidelines, and shall do so from now on | 14:46 |
| gribouille | on my machine, the command to launch firefox is firefox-3.0 and not firefox. as a result other programs can't lauch it. how can I rename firefox-3.5 to firefox ? | 14:46 |
| ActionParsnip1 | EMPulse: create a symlink to libflashplayer.so in /usr/lib/chromium-browser/plugins/ | 14:46 |
| ActionParsnip1 | EMPulse: you will then need to run it with: chromium-browser --enable-plugins | 14:46 |
| gribouille | on my machine, the command to launch firefox is firefox-3.0 and not firefox. as a result other programs can't lauch it. how can I rename firefox-3.0 to firefox ? | 14:46 |

Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 14:53 |

| ubottu | There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications | 15:23 |
| Lord-Readman | like the one when the its locked | 15:23 |
| bazhang | k4dm3l, that would be the option | 15:23 |

| homy | Hi! Which easy to set-up remote backup solution would you recommend? I mean, something like rsnapshot or rdiff-backup that backups to a local server. | 15:24 |
| sunamiebob | /boot/grub/ | 15:24 |
| b3rz3rk3r | k4dm3l, i just use banshee to manage my ipod.. works great | 15:24 |

| rosco_y | (I'm also holding you responsible--if it's not the best then grrrrrr) | 15:33 |
| Megra_ | mirash, it allows to load another loader | 15:33 |
| bret | rosco_y, xen works good for linux virtualizations, but is kind of slow w/ windows | 15:33 |
| dr3mro | i use wvdial to connect to dial up modem and i can use xchat now but firefox cant browse the net plz help | 15:33 |
| Megra_ | mirash, typically, the Microsoft loader | 15:33 |
| bazhang | rosco_y, virtualbox-ose is in the repos if you dont need usb support | 15:33 |
| mirash | another loader? | 15:34 |
| mirash | means other than grub? | 15:34 |
| mirash | let me see | 15:34 |
| sunamiebob | mirash: yes I have mine set +1 | 15:34 |
| Megra_ | mirash, for example, if you install Windows XP then Linux, you can use Grub to launch Linux, and if you want to run XP, grub launch the Micriosoft loader which will launch XP | 15:35 |

| maco | ruben23: from a driver dev point of view, they are hard to get working "quite right" so there are lots of bugs filed for them. the spec has hundreds of pages of errata, and depending when it was implemented and by whom, fits or doesnt fit variously | 15:57 |
| Pici | bkatl: sudo apt-get install gparted | 15:57 |
| maco | ruben23: there's a good chance it'll work, but dont be surprised if something like "microphone built into screen doesnt work" comes up | 15:58 |

('user' option) I defined it explicitly as rw, but I can only write to it a couple of times and then it reverts to read only again. :P ( Or at least I think that's what's happening...) | 16:31 |
| jcapinc | MrElendig, the nvidia resolution tool does not have the settings to make the tall screen work, I am guessing you know no other alternative to xrandr? | 16:31 |
| gse7en | I was just looking through the mount manual and didn't see what I was looking for. Essentially, I want to create mount points on the fly and then have the directory removed when the dev is removed. Is this easy to do? | 16:31 |
| mazda01 | enthdegree, have you looked at any logs files? | 16:31 |

| Mrokii | hi. I still have problems with using Apple-keyboard(s) with Ubuntu, as some keys aren't what they should be, no matter which layout I choose... | 16:32 |
| grawity | enthdegree: Sometimes filesystems get remounted readonly by kernel when there are problems with them... check dmesg, or /var/log/syslog. | 16:32 |
| shreymech | do we require to install X-server in ubuntu..????? | 16:32 |
| grawity | shreymech: No, it is not required. | 16:32 |
| Mrokii | There seem to be several problems... | 16:32 |
| dtolj | What tool do you use to display summary information about a video file? such as audio bitrate etc. | 16:32 |
| enthdegree | dmesg gives me a whole lot of 'FAT: Filesystem panic (dev sda3)' lines though.' | 16:32 |

| grawity | enthdegree: fsck /dev/sda3, then? (I don't remember which package has fsck.vfat... it's probably included by default.) | 16:33 |

| enthdegree | I just switched back from fedora to CrunchBang. | 16:42 |
| kiaas_ | I'd use ubuntu for consistency. Everything else I have runs ubuntu(excluding the Sun and Apple computers) | 16:42 |
| th0r | ninjaslim: it has more 'u's | 16:42 |
| enthdegree | The first thing I noticed was that apt is still ~way~ faster than Yum. | 16:42 |
| sipior | ninjaslim: probably a conversation better pursued in #ubuntu-offtopic. | 16:42 |
| kiaas_ | ninjaslim, better package manager | 16:42 |
| enthdegree | Yeah, it's got better package selection too. | 16:43 |
| MrElendig | ninjaslim: imo, nothing except that apt is slightly less slow than yum | 16:43 |

| kekeke | sipior any ideas :(? | 17:12 |
| sipior | kekeke: thinking. | 17:12 |

| yaaar | are the only two ubuntu server versions really i386 and x86-64? i've got some nice xeons here that seem wasted on i386 but won't do x86-64 | 17:12 |
| duckwars | Is there anyway to |grep your whole computer? | 17:12 |
| yaaar | seems like at the very least there would be an i586 | 17:13 |
| grawity | ryanakca: I think it's `seq 14 00` | 17:13 |
| duckwars | I guess recursively grep your / | 17:13 |
| yaaar | duckwars: you probably shouldn't, but yes, you can use grep -R | 17:13 |
| grawity | ryanakca: (using the seq command) | 17:13 |
| grawity | duckwars: grep -R "something" / | 17:13 |
| duckwars | why should I probably not? I can't find where I put a specific file | 17:13 |
| MrElendig | yaaar: most crud is built with -march=i386 -mtune=i686 | 17:13 |
| sipior | duckwars: and then go get coffee or something.... | 17:13 |
| duckwars | will -a show hidden files? | 17:13 |
| grawity | duckwars: ls -a, yes. | 17:14 |
| yaaar | MrElendig: oh, ok. that'll be sufficient. thanks | 17:14 |
| grawity | duckwars: for grep it's not needed. | 17:14 |
| duckwars | where do people generally put .htpasswd files? I followed a tutorial longtime ago and it's not in /etc/apache | 17:14 |
| grawity | duckwars: Also, if you remember the file name, find will probably be faster. | 17:14 |
| sipior | duckwars: try "locate filename", also | 17:14 |
| grawity | (As in find / -name ".htpasswd") | 17:14 |
| duckwars | how do i use find? | 17:14 |
| MrElendig | duckwars: do you remember the filename? | 17:14 |
| grawity | duckwars: find / -name ".htpasswd" | 17:14 |
| MrElendig | duckwars: updatedb && locate .htpasswd | 17:15 |
| duckwars | I tried grawity's command, it is thinking | 17:15 |
| duckwars | I might add this is a 400 mhz 64mb ram computer... | 17:15 |
| SirFunk | hmm.. so.. i uninstalled pulseaudio to try oss4 and now i want to go back...alsa is running and detects my soundcard, pulse is running but ... pulse doesn't see the alsa devices is there some config i'm missing? | 17:15 |
| === DaZ- is now known as DaZ | ||
| grawity | duckwars: These specs make no difference for find/locate/grep, it's just a matter of how fast it can read your disk. | 17:16 |
| duckwars | oh, well thank you everyone | 17:16 |
| MrElendig | asuming that ubuntu uses mlocate now, locate will be fastest | 17:16 |
| kekeke | sipior: you think i should just reinstall the OS? | 17:16 |
| duckwars | I think this is just going to take forever, can anyone think of another way to find my .htpasswd file? maybe somewehre in the .htaccess files? | 17:17 |
| sipior | kekeke: that's a bit extreme. does an apt-get update complete without error? | 17:17 |

| kekeke | yes | 17:17 |
| === unforgiven512-aw is now known as unforgiven512 | ||

| ChrisW | hey all, got a box with Ubuntu 8.04 on it, are there any python 2.6 pacakges available? If so, what are they? | 17:17 |
| grawity | duckwars: .htaccess should have the path of the .htpasswd it uses, yes. | 17:17 |
| sam_ | i thought i did already | 17:18 |
| grawity | duckwars: Either .htaccess or apache's configs. | 17:18 |
| sipior | kekeke: does "apt-get --fix-broken" help? | 17:18 |
| Halitech | sam_, check hard ware drivers and make sure | 17:18 |

| Halitech | sam_, ok, do you have ccsm installed? or have you tried enabling effects? | 17:19 |
| sam_ | Halitech, I've tried enabling through system preference and then apperance | 17:19 |

| === unforgiven512 is now known as unforgiven512-aw | ||
| sam_ | Halitech, oh wait it worked this time....how do I test it? | 17:20 |
| kekeke | sipior: i don't have anything i need installed, so reinstalling the OS isn't really a big deal | 17:20 |
| Halitech | sam_, try changing desktops or minimize a screen | 17:20 |
| sam_ | Halitech, ok it works I feel pretty stupid, thanks for responding though | 17:20 |
| kekeke | anything i need on the hd* | 17:20 |
| sam_ | Halitech, how do I do the cube thing? | 17:20 |
| grawity | sam_: I think you need to enable "Desktop Cube" | 17:21 |
| grawity | !ccsm | 17:21 |
| ubottu | To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz | 17:21 |
| Halitech | sam_, np, glad it worked cause I was guessing on what to do cause I don't use it | 17:21 |
| sipior | kekeke: well, worth a try, then, but without understanding the problem, you're likely to see it again. | 17:21 |
| sam_ | Halitech, oh hahah ok thanks | 17:21 |
| sam_ | grawity, how do I enable the cube? | 17:21 |
| kekeke | ok i'll try. | 17:21 |
| sam_ | grawity, I'm pretty new if that isnt obvious yet | 17:21 |
| grawity | sam_: Do you have CCSM installed? If not, see ubottu's message above | 17:21 |
| sam_ | grawity, well the 3d effects like the wobbly thing works | 17:22 |
| sam_ | grawity, what is CCSM anyway? | 17:22 |
| grawity | sam_: CompizConfig Settings Manager. | 17:22 |
| Zedde | Hello , when i login I get a msg that I have 1 pkg and 2 security updates , how do I check what it is | 17:22 |
| grawity | sam_: A big window where you can enable, disable and configure plugins for Compiz. | 17:22 |
| Zedde | this is on a server consol | 17:22 |

| coz_ | xiong, did you google that ...let me look | 17:24 |
| xiong | coz_, i don't see anything | 17:24 |
| Halitech | bastid_razor, they said console | 17:24 |
| Zedde | bastidrazor: consol | 17:24 |
| coz_ | xiong, no I dont either | 17:24 |
| mazda01 | Zedde, it will show you what it will upgrade and then if you want to upgrade you'll issue sudo aptitude upgrade | 17:24 |

| bastidrazor | yeah, i missed that. late arrival | 17:24 |

| mazda01 | Zedde, sounds good | 17:25 |
| linoobx | and i don't understand why | 17:25 |
| xiong | coz_, i uploaded that PDF to the site myself using gftp, is why | 17:25 |
| Shapeshifter | Hi. I'm using a tool called parashell to access the parallel port. Everything's working now except that I can only use it as root. If I use it as user, I get an error "Can't gain access to port 378". What do I have to do so that users can access the parallel port? | 17:25 |
| iceroot | linoobx: we also | 17:25 |
| iceroot | linoobx: because we dont see the script | 17:25 |
| coz_ | xiong, there is a format error here but it did download | 17:25 |
| iceroot | !paste | linoobx | 17:25 |

| grawity | aksci: Are you using POP3 or IMAP for mail? | 17:26 |
| Maleko | guys is it possible to limit the download speed when fetching packages from repo? | 17:26 |
| fosser_josh1 | aksci: what happend with thunderbird | 17:26 |
| xiong | coz_, the PDF was okay before i uploaded it -- i'm trying to figure out what's going wrong | 17:26 |
| aksci | grawity: in the server settings, server type says POP mail server! | 17:26 |
| coz_ | xiong, oh I understand now... I was thinking you had compile errors with the gftp source | 17:27 |
| Halitech | aksci, did you previously have thunderbird set to leave mail on server? | 17:27 |
| grawity | aksci: Ah. POP is very simple, and Thunderbird just cannot know the email's date without downloading it. | 17:27 |
| Halitech | aksci, and is it a gmail account | 17:27 |
| grawity | aksci: Is it Gmail? | 17:27 |
| aksci | Halitech: once! but discontinued as it used up shitload of bandwidth! grawity: sorry for not specifying,... its a gmail account! | 17:28 |
| coz_ | xiong, did you create that pdf on linux or windows? | 17:28 |
| aksci | grawity: should i change server type to imap? | 17:28 |
| Zedde | mazda01: the msg are gon now. strange only update pkg I saw was ai32-libs something | 17:28 |
| xiong | coz_, i just want to know why the download is corrupt -- besides you and i, there is one other user reported the issue -- as i compare the local and remote file, the byte count is correct -- i created the pdf on a mac os 9 machine | 17:28 |
| Halitech | aksci, if the server is gmail it will redownload everythign still on the server | 17:29 |
| grawity | aksci: Using Gmail with IMAP would probably be better. | 17:29 |
| coz_ | xiong, you can upload the pdf to speedyshare.com let me test the original file | 17:29 |
| grawity | aksci: POP3 only allows downloading the full message (and optionally deleting it). | 17:29 |
| strrev | can i downgrade from 9.04 to 8.04 ? | 17:29 |
| mazda01 | Zedde, well, that's all it had to upgrade then. the update command will go to the servers and see if there is anything to upgrade, then the upgrade command will upgrade packages | 17:29 |
| iceroot | strrev: no | 17:29 |
| coz_ | strrev, I would recomment just clean install 8.04 | 17:29 |
| xiong | coz_, the local file is readable on my linux box -- and previous to today, i had uploaded the pdf to a site and had good downloads of it -- i'm thinking some sort of corruption involving linefeed translation??? | 17:30 |
| Zedde | mazda01: okay | 17:30 |
| grawity | aksci: With IMAP, Thunderbird only needs to download the headers (subject, date, sender). And it would be automatically syncronized with Gmail's web interface, too. | 17:30 |
| Zedde | mazda01: thanks again | 17:30 |
| xiong | coz_, will do | 17:30 |
| aksci | grawity: i've set the disk space option to msges less than 1mb! | 17:30 |
| mazda01 | Zedde, no problem | 17:30 |
| coz_ | xiong, I would go to #linux channel and see if someone there has more info about this | 17:30 |
| Megra_ | strrev, however, if you have problems with a particular program, you can downgrade it (not recommended) | 17:30 |

| linoobx | grawity: no errors! but my wife is flooding the connection with emule :P | 17:42 |
| akshay | <megra> wat to do now | 17:42 |
| grawity | Megra_: This one will work -- but he's using `` in the URL. And wget 'http://`echo google.com`' will NOT work. | 17:42 |
| _UsUrPeR_ | my server is freezing on "Deconfiguring Network Interfaces". It has been like this ever since I started working with brctl. Where can I check to see what's making this take so long to boot/ shut down? | 17:42 |
| akshay | <megra> u dere | 17:42 |
| histolo2 | haliteh used this tutorial to install drivers https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto/Conexant | 17:42 |
| grawity | linoobx: Yeah, I'm familiar with that one... (my sister uses eMule too.) Anyway, are you sure it isn't a server-side problem? | 17:43 |
| histolo2 | halitech should efax work "out of the box" after drivers are installed? | 17:43 |
| Halitech | histolo2, I used to do dialup support and the connexant chips were bad enough under windows and they use software (hence the name win-modems) so if it works its going to be crappy to use | 17:43 |
| Halitech | histolo2, as far as I know if the modem is working properly then it should | 17:44 |
| linoobx | grawity: don't think so.. but i try switching the 2 calls to see if it's again the second to fail | 17:44 |
| rodolfo | hi everybody!! | 17:44 |
| ascheel | Question for you guys. I'm compiling some open source drivers for a wireless USB dongle. Once I 'make' it, do I need to 'make install'? Once THAT is done, do I need to add it with modprobe or something? | 17:44 |
| histolo2 | halitech well its not worth it, costed me only 5$ and it works under windows... i have DSL but use this as a fax | 17:44 |
| Halitech | ascheel, what wireless dongle | 17:44 |
| ninjaslim | hi guys, i need a distro that' not too fast moving, that just works, and that i can use to do C/C++ development and java and matlab/R work, will Ubuntu fit the bill for this | 17:45 |
| rodolfo | i have a strange question..is it possible to use firefox as a file browser? | 17:45 |
| grawity | linoobx: wget's --server-response may be useful. | 17:45 |
| ascheel | Halitech: Buffalo WLI-UC-GN, chip is RALINK 2870 | 17:45 |
| histolo2 | halitech thanks anyway | 17:45 |
| Halitech | histolo2, well, you can try it, I've never tried to use efax | 17:45 |
| grawity | rodolfo: Only in read-only mode; you won't be able to do anything with the files except to read them. | 17:45 |
| sipior | ninjaslim: yes, handily. | 17:46 |

| === unforgiven512-aw is now known as unforgiven512 | ||
| grawity | rodolfo: All that Firefox supports. | 17:46 |
| grawity | rodolfo: Firefox supports HTML, XML, JPEG, PNG, GIF and some other formats. The extension doesn't really matter. | 17:47 |
| linoobx | grawity: the problem must be here: `acpi -V | tr '\n' '-[#]-' | tr '\t' ' ' | perl -MURI::Escape -lne 'print uri_escape($_)'` | 17:47 |
| ninjaslim | sipior: i come from the BSD world, i used to use FreeBSD but needed Matlab which isn't natively available, but one thing i was used to on FreeBSD was that it just worked, i used to use Gentoo which left a sour taste for Linux | 17:47 |

| mrguitar | I've got an annoying sound problem on my laptop. Can someone help troubleshoot it? | 18:13 |
| grawity | Squynti: And kernel messages go to the currently selected tty. | 18:13 |
| msk | Pici : does updating my Kernel does any help ? | 18:13 |
| Squynti | GDM? | 18:13 |
| grawity | Squynti: GNOME Display Manager - the app that shows graphical login screen, runs GNOME or whatever, etc. | 18:14 |
| Squynti | grawity: so tty1 is safe to use? | 18:14 |
| Squynti | Oh ok | 18:14 |
| grawity | Squynti: Yes, all of them are safe to use. | 18:14 |
| Yos | niadh, thanks :D | 18:14 |
| fasfafas | mrguitar: maybe it caused of wireless | 18:14 |

| stefg | rakgenius: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=471855 | 18:15 |
| grawity | Squynti: There are commands 'openvt' for running bash on an unused tty; 'chvt' for changing ttys; and so on. | 18:15 |
| grawity | eliotn: Probably ##java | 18:15 |
| Squynti | oh ok i see i thought someone said to be caution with tty1 which is other way for F1? Like its used for debugging and what not | 18:15 |
| eliotn | grawity: nope | 18:15 |

| ubottu | mrguitar: For fixing your Intel HDA sound this page has useful information https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto | 18:15 |
| mrguitar | Ubottu: thanks I'll check it out. | 18:16 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 18:16 |
| grawity | Squynti: a little correction... F1 is just the key on your keyboard, which happens to switch to the first tty. The actual things are usually called either consoles, terminals, or ttys. (Sometimes "virtual" ones) | 18:16 |
| MrPiracy | grawity: no, didn't help .... the 5 key opens the popup menu. What could be wrong with it? | 18:16 |
| ElronMcBong | what is the correct cpu-type (for gcc as in gcc -march=...) of AMD phenom II processors. I read about athlon64, k8 and amdfam10.. I am not sure | 18:16 |
| grawity | Squynti: Anyway, tty1 is safe to use. | 18:16 |
| msk | stefg : what are the other keywords ubottu can describe at ? | 18:16 |
| yaaar | ok, this is really frustrating. i'm in the installer trying to setup my partitions, on a pair of drives that were previously used with software raid1. i want to use raid0 instead now...but the installer won't let me delete the raid devices! says they may be in use...but i already deleted the partitions that were on them. anybody know what's going on here, or how to work around this? | 18:16 |
| stefg | !bot | msk | 18:16 |
| ubottu | msk: Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots | 18:16 |
| Squynti | grawity: Ok thanks. I was searching for the information for that but I seem cannot find it. | 18:17 |
| yaaar | oh sorry, i got those backwards. the drives had been raid0 and i want raid1. still, the problem is the same... | 18:17 |
| mrguitar | link didn't list my symptoms. Audio works great on my laptop, but only w/ one application at a time. I can't listen to music while playing videos in flash. If I pause rhythmbox or whatever to watch a flash video - I have to close firefox to resume original audio. | 18:17 |

| infinteloop | Hello I have a user that I want to only have access to there home directory. No view to any other location. How can I do this as most sections have other with read permission | 18:22 |
| grawity | infinteloop: AppArmor can do this; but it's kind of an insane wish. | 18:22 |
| petur | Hello, im looking for a secure way to delete my browser cache. | 18:22 |
| grawity | infinteloop: The other directories are readable for a reason... | 18:22 |
| petur | Making it "unrecoverable" with lowlevel tools | 18:23 |
| petur | ? | 18:23 |
| grawity | petur: The program 'shred' could do this... is it Firefox? | 18:23 |
| petur | Firefox, yes | 18:23 |
| infinteloop | Well the main reason I want this is they will only need access to scp a file into a folder | 18:23 |
| infinteloop | They will not need to actually log into for any other reason | 18:23 |
| yaaar | so, does anybody know why the ubuntu installer won't let me delete my pre-existing raid devices? | 18:23 |
| Frank83 | Stefg, Grawity: That gives me my hostname. I am looking for the "domain" | 18:23 |
| stefg | petur: put it to a ramdisk (i.e. mount a tmpfs) | 18:23 |
| infinteloop | I thought about setting up SFTP but this fold will be on a ERP system I would like to keep the attack surface low. | 18:24 |

| grawity | Frank83: Did you run hostname with --fqdn? | 18:25 |
| grawity | petur: But be very careful with that command... | 18:25 |
| stefg | Frank83: you haven't set any domain i guess .. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=201138 could shed some light on it | 18:25 |
| Frank83 | Grawity: I did. Output was "Anastasia" same as running "hostname" with no parameters | 18:25 |
| petur | grawity: Will do | 18:25 |
| grawity | Frank83: Well then your box doesn't have any hostname. | 18:25 |
| grawity | petur: ...actually, first try this, just to make sure: find ~/.mozilla/firefox/*/Cache -print | 18:26 |
| kekeke | ascheel you're a life saver, i just change my repo list and it works now :) | 18:26 |
| kekeke | <3 | 18:26 |
| grawity | petur: If it prints the cache files, add the -exec shred -uzn 2 "{}" \; part | 18:26 |
| Frank83 | Grawity: So... If it does not have one, but yet it's connected, it means I don't even need to set one up? | 18:26 |

| Bersa | Hi, mates. My system has restarted some time ago. Which log stores info about reason of restarting? | 18:28 |
| stefg | petur: the problem is that you'll have to know in advance that you want to delete the cache. by putting it on a tmpfs it will be empty on every reboot, and just pulling the plug will make it unrecoverable in case of emergency | 18:28 |
| Frank83 | Bersa: I think dmesg | 18:29 |
| MrPiracy | kushal_kumaran: thx, i got it working now | 18:29 |
| grawity | sireno52: Umm. Doesn't tmpfs defeat the point of using a file cache completely? | 18:29 |
| grawity | Frank83: dmesg gets reset after rebot | 18:29 |

| dianabol | anyone know how to get the built in web cam for my eeepc 1000h working? | 18:30 |

| Frank83 | Grawity: Where you learned all this? Is there a page or something to find out all those commands? | 18:31 |
| dianabol | also i've recently reinstalled ubuntu and i have problems streaming anyone know how to fix that? | 18:31 |

| kekeke | grawity sorry i actually meant one with user accounts | 18:44 |
| Elementalist | Alrighty, thanks. Hope so, I've only got this netbook, no external CD drive or other flashdisks, so if this goes wrong, I could be in trouble. xD Guess I'll find out in a bit. Thanks for the answer. | 18:44 |

| Halitech | Capoochino, not to dispute your 'findings' but pretty well all of the colored people I know are smarter then the average white person I know | 18:49 |
| stefg | !webmin | MarkG | 18:49 |
| ubottu | MarkG: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. | 18:49 |
| Halitech | !webmin | MarkG | 18:49 |
| javauser123 | how do i monitor cpu temps thru a live ubuntu session? | 18:49 |

| capslock286 | Why is any Ubuntu-dist slow on the Lenovo S10e? :-( This is the only user-friendly dist which easily can be installed via usb. Thankful for comments/response/help getting it to work smooth :-) | 18:52 |
| stefg | capslock286: 512MB ... and the superslox SSD | 18:53 |
| NoMS_ | bullgard4: I have seen something called photobuntu or something like that. It is supposed to write metadata, but I have never used it personally | 18:53 |

| MarkG | How they ever hope to attract new users... | 18:54 |
| stefg | MarkG: if you're going to set up a file-server you're better off with 8.04 (hardy). ebox' stable version is targeted at that | 18:54 |
| Halitech | MarkG, by promising them dual booting and then killing their windows install forcing them to stick with linux ;) | 18:55 |

| maad10 | hi | 18:56 |

| psiborg | didnt get to removing the hd yet :) | 18:56 |
| stefg | !pm > capslock286 | 18:56 |
| ubottu | capslock286, please see my private message | 18:56 |
| Halitech | Frank83, I know, change is not for everyone but we have to start somewhere | 18:57 |
| rawfael | squidly: i use -o force and it works | 18:57 |
| capslock286 | thank you stefg. I | 18:57 |
| capslock286 | will keep that in mind in the future :-) | 18:58 |
| MarkG | I don't have much choice, my Sheevaplug shipped with 9.04 jaunty minimal intstall. | 18:58 |
| stefg | capslock286: you can try easypeasy ... a netbook optimized edition of ubuntu | 18:58 |
| Frank83 | Halitech, I was forced by useless antivirus, mind squeezing defragmentation, psychotic formating every 6 months, not to mention blue screen of neurotic panic. | 18:59 |
| Squynti | rawfael: you might wanna check up on the nick spelling and how'd you do that? | 18:59 |
| emilio | how I edit my grub options | 18:59 |
| jdahm | libnotify has this annoying quack or so when I adjust volume, is there a way to get rid of this sound? I tried everything under preferences->sound. The forums don't list anything either | 18:59 |
| kekeke | lol | 18:59 |
| stefg | capslock286: http://www.geteasypeasy.com/ | 18:59 |
| Halitech | Frank83, I did it for the same reasons, I was one of the few that went cold turkey with no backup system | 18:59 |
| capslock286 | thnx stefg. The problem is that I have already tested that one and it is based on 8.4 and not 9.04 | 18:59 |
| ejv | how do they hope to attract new users? really? don't blame your lack of proficiency/understanding of linux on the community or our documentation. FYI ubuntu has some of the most plentiful docs you will ever see. Don't troll. | 19:00 |
| rawfael | squidly: i am from brazil... i cant speak english very much | 19:00 |
| Frank83 | Halitech, Same here. | 19:00 |

| maco | kekeke: if your current ubuntu is 64bit, yes | 19:00 |
| kekeke | ok thanks | 19:00 |
| Halitech | kekeke, if you currently have a 64bit version installed yes | 19:00 |
| Squynti | rawfael: ok what did you not understand me? | 19:00 |
| kekeke | ty | 19:00 |
| NoMS_ | same here. Not real crazy about windows, but I have adobe premiere and Encore DVD which unfortunately will not run on wine.... So, I have another drive w/ windows on it :( | 19:01 |
| stefg | capslock286: the secret lies in disabling all unneeded services, putting /tmp to a tmpfs and (possibly) using a netbook specific kernel www.array.org | 19:01 |
| grawity | stefg: isn't /tmp a tmpfs by default? | 19:01 |

| MarkG | this document is plagued with problems: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox | 19:02 |
| stefg | grawity: that's the PITA in open source ... too many people with attitude :-) | 19:02 |
| NoMS_ | no, I don't use it as frequently as I did when I bought it, so it's ok. If I need to do some editing, I just swap out my drives and reboot... But I'll look into it I guess. It's only about $50 isnt it? | 19:02 |
| MarkG | W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/ebox/ubuntu/dists/hardy/main/binary-armel/Packages 404 Not Found | 19:02 |
| capslock286 | stefg. thank you for this. However, I am a casual user who migrated from Windows to use OSX because of all the hassle Windoze provided. now. Linux is not easier, however, far more stable and far more harmonized with OSX. Not even Netbook Remix runs smoothly on my Lenovo-netbook, though, so I | 19:03 |
| capslock286 | am quite "desperate" for as user-friendly advice as possible. | 19:03 |
| Frank83 | NoMS_, Yes, I think it if (I don't use it) but check it it will run it properly before you buy the license. | 19:03 |
| NoMS_ | thanks frank | 19:03 |

| MaT-dg1 | cake-linux: no, but u can add the repo's from sun | 19:05 |
| cake-linux | awesome thanks | 19:05 |
| NoMS_ | yeah, no kidding.... It pretty much sits on a shelf. Crossover will not run it either... | 19:05 |
| Frank83 | Emilio, You will need to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 19:05 |
| mbeierl | emilio: in it's most raw format: gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 19:05 |
| capslock286 | Thnx Stefg. The thing is, I want it to run as smootlhy as Windows Xp ran on this machine (minus the crashes, of course ;-) ) | 19:05 |
| geirha | !grub | emilio, I recommend reading the Grub Howto first | 19:06 |
| ubottu | emilio, I recommend reading the Grub Howto first: 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 | 19:06 |

| kannan_02 | is there a turbo c compiler for linux | 19:06 |
| stefg | capslock286: windows is an 8 yr old OS, designed for P III'S at 500 MHz. you can make ubuntu run that quick, but it takes a bit of tweaking | 19:06 |
| Frank83 | NoMS_ That's a bummer. | 19:06 |
| emilio | ok i already open d file | 19:06 |
| emilio | thanks all | 19:07 |
| grawity | kannan_02: There is a C compiler (gcc). | 19:07 |
| kannan_02 | those header files conio.h are not in gcc .. | 19:07 |
| Frank83 | emilio, Make a backup! It's not good to mess up too much with it. (Believe me, I know) | 19:07 |
| sam_ | hey can someone help me get adobe flash player to work? | 19:07 |
| capslock286 | eric6: I thought so too. The system doesn | 19:07 |
| geirha | kannan_02: conio.h is dos specific | 19:07 |
| geirha | kannan_02: In linux we use ncurses | 19:07 |
| Frank83 | Sam_ You need help using flash on Firefox? | 19:08 |
| kannan_02 | ncurses? | 19:08 |
| Halitech | capslock286, have you thought about Debian with either xfce or lxde? | 19:08 |
| grawity | kannan_02: Is it a program you wrote? | 19:08 |
| emilio | ok | 19:08 |
| sam_ | Frank83, thanks for responding, yes | 19:08 |
| emilio | exit | 19:08 |

| hausha | I can't decimals when using normal math in bash | 19:08 |
| kannan_02 | which one? | 19:08 |
| capslock286 | It looks as it takes better advantage of the graphic capabilities than XFCE, does :-( | 19:09 |

| Frank83 | sam_ Okay, Is it x32 or AMD64? | 19:09 |
| sam_ | grawity, yep | 19:09 |
| capslock286 | I have never managed to install debian, though I have tried. I get something with bad kernel, or such when trying to boot after net-install | 19:09 |
| sam_ | Its on a 32bit computer not 64 if thats what you mean | 19:09 |
| Halitech | capslock286, try the instructions here http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?t=26566 | 19:10 |
| geirha | kannan_02: You want libncurses-<version>-dev. Search for "ncurses howto" on google for information on how to use it. | 19:10 |
| Frank83 | Sam_ I know an easy way that works with X64 PCs, but I don't know and wouldn't dare to suggest it on a X32 one. | 19:10 |
| Frank83 | Sam_ Hang on, I'll see if I can find something out. | 19:11 |
| sam_ | Frank83, okay thanks alot | 19:11 |

| capslock286 | t have an optical drive | 19:12 |
| MarkG | ok, so ebox seems impossible to install on ARM Ubuntu, what other options to I have? How badly broken is webmin? Is it as broken as ebox documentation and packages are for ebox? | 19:12 |
| grawity | capslock286: Boot from USB, then? | 19:12 |
| capslock286 | Only by USB. I have always wanted to find a img-file of a DEBIAN, dist | 19:12 |
| Halitech | capslock286, bummer .... what about unetbootin to do the install? | 19:12 |
| capslock286 | grawity: I have tried. I have also managed to install through net-install the DEBIAN (not UBUNT)-system, but the kernel gets corrupt | 19:13 |
| grawity | Halitech: Does unetbootin just copy the iso and make the USB bootable - or does it create a complete LiveUSB system? | 19:13 |
| grawity | Wait, that made no sense anyway. | 19:13 |
| grawity | Nvm | 19:13 |
| Halitech | grawity, I think it will make it bootable | 19:14 |
| capslock286 | I have used Unetbootin to make a boot-disk of DEBIAN Lenny, and have started the install-process, but a up-and-running system installed on HDD is not possible. Tried twice | 19:14 |
| Frank83 | Sam_ Okay, let's try this one. | 19:14 |
| sam_ | Frank83, ok | 19:14 |
| capslock286 | Unetbootin makes UBUNTU-derivatives bootable flawlessly, but with Debian, it is harder. | 19:14 |
| grawity | capslock286: But Ubuntu is a Debian-derivative anyway. | 19:15 |
| Frank83 | Sam_ Assuming you've installed flash, gnarl, or similars, you'll 1st need to remove them. | 19:15 |
| sam_ | Frank83, ok | 19:15 |
| bullgard4 | stefg: Following some remarks of you, I installed Chatzilla and begin to like it. How can I permutate the order in which the channels are displayed on the last but one line | 19:15 |

| capslock286 | yes, I know. But I am talking about the "clean" Debian Lenny-system. | 19:15 |
| Frank83 | Sam_ This command will help with that "sudo apt-get remove --purge swfdec-mozilla swfdec-gnome mozilla-plugin-gnash gnash" | 19:15 |

| James192345 | Hi, I just installed the nvidia drivers for my PNY NVIDIA 7600 GS, and restarted only to be greeted by a black screen. Anyone know how I can fix this. Ctrl+Alt+F1 doesnt work. | 19:31 |
| mazda01 | ScottG, you need to download a complete them from somewhere | 19:31 |
| f0ster | Halitech: 9.04 | 19:31 |
| Halitech | f0ster, welcome to the world of no proprietary drivers, ati dropped support for that card as of Catalyst 9.3 which stopped working in 8.0 | 19:32 |

| MrPiracy | how can i install my webcam? it's a random Multilaser one | 19:32 |
| Halitech | *8.10 | 19:32 |
| mazda01 | James192345, your computer is totally booted up? why not boot again but enter the grub menu by hitting the escape button. then boot up a recvoery session or failsafe session | 19:32 |
| f0ster | Halitech: well the frustrating thing is i don't understand how to specify any driver for X with ubuntu | 19:33 |
| f0ster | its configuring it somewhere other than the xorg.conf, and it doesnt say where | 19:33 |
| mazda01 | f0ster, you edit xorg.conf | 19:33 |
| Halitech | f0ster, basically what you have is what you got, there is no driver you can use | 19:33 |
| hdon | I do not believe an Audio CD contains a Filesystem Image. I do not believe Linux mounts any filesystem as a predicate to playing an Audio CD (attn Jeruvy) | 19:33 |
| aaaa``` | i want to make a file sharing website on LAN.. what should I use? | 19:33 |
| Halitech | f0ster, if there is nothing in System - Admin - hardware drivers then you have nothing to install | 19:34 |
| f0ster | mazda01: why does the xorg.conf not have any of the settings that X is already configured with | 19:34 |
| ninjaslim | which desktop effects in compiz are enabled by default in Ubuntu with the extra settings | 19:34 |
| mazda01 | Halitech, what are you talking about? you can configure any driver you want it just have to be right for your hardware. | 19:34 |
| Halitech | f0ster, xorg 'automagically' configures most things now | 19:35 |
| hdon | Jeruvy: What filesystem type (as in the -t argument to mount) do you think an Audio CD might require? | 19:35 |
| f0ster | Halitech: maybe the hacked up crappy version of x for ubuntu | 19:35 |
| f0ster | this is why I don't run ubuntu, i just have it already installed on a computer at work | 19:35 |
| f0ster | pardon my frustration | 19:36 |
| Halitech | mazda01, and the right version for the software you have installed | 19:36 |
| mazda01 | f0ster, paste your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. are you even in a gui? you should be able to use hardware drivers if you're using nvidia | 19:36 |
| Halitech | f0ster, I understand, I have an ati x1200 which was dropped as well | 19:36 |
| Halitech | f0ster, and I use Debian so its not just Ubuntu that does it | 19:36 |
| f0ster | mazda01: well I have a radeon x600 card | 19:36 |
| f0ster | I've found some catalyst drivers that are apparently compatible with 8.04, surely these must be better than the "automagicconfigured" x display drivers? | 19:37 |
| hdon | Hello again everyone. How may I extract the full gstreamer pipeline used by RhythmBox when it "extracts" music from my Audio CD? | 19:37 |
| f0ster | I have ati selected in synpatic, but I'm curious where its actually telling xorg to use these drivers, since xorg.conf doesn't say anything | 19:37 |
| f0ster | it has no driver line under device, just a title | 19:37 |
| mazda01 | f0ster, well, you'll haev to check out some guides for your card then. i am not familar with setting up ati cards. | 19:37 |
| Halitech | f0ster, no because the version of X is newer in 9.04 and they don't work (trust me, I've tried and hosed my system numerous times trying) | 19:37 |
| _AleX_ | hi all! howto pbuild ubuntu packages from a debian lenny ? it's possible ? | 19:38 |

| Linux^Warrior | well just run the cd & specify the flash drive as the install source & I am not being annoying, take a joke | 19:49 |
| jrtayloriv | doubled`fml`away: If you want to know how to use ubuntu, just read the documentation at their site -- tldp.org will not help you at first. | 19:49 |

| trism | shreymech: then I don't know what's wrong | 20:03 |
| Linux^Warrior | no I have ubuntu 9.04 this laptop cannot run it | 20:03 |
| mebaran151 | jrtayloriv, I never could get power management to work in gentoo | 20:03 |
| mebaran151 | but this was a year ago | 20:03 |
| DasEi | seppi: you will run in trouble, as grub is inside wubi, you could just use an alternate bootloader that points to wubi, but cause of defrags I won't suggest wubi any more then a first try, reinstall native with just 80 attached, then add a line for xp later in grub | 20:03 |
| seppi | DasEi: yeah, i figured that that's what I was going to have to do | 20:04 |
| Halitech | Linux^Warrior, ok, you have the 9.04 install cd in your hand but what version is actually running on the laptop? | 20:04 |
| Trevor | Is there any way to recover /usr/share/doc? | 20:04 |
| Linux^Warrior | laptop is 2.13x | 20:04 |
| Linux^Warrior | so it says | 20:04 |
| Halitech | Linux^Warrior, maybe try Xubuntu 8.04 with the Alt install cd | 20:05 |
| DasEi | seppi: simply unplug the 250 to be sure not to overwrite winloader, easy to add a line to menu.lst later | 20:05 |
| Linux^Warrior | I tried 6.x won't run worth a damn either | 20:05 |
| shreymech | trism : when i wrote gerris2D -V it is showing the verison and everything | 20:05 |
| Linux^Warrior | nah I tried 8 then 6 I think 4.x would do ok | 20:05 |
| Halitech | Linux^Warrior, Ubuntu or Xubuntu? | 20:05 |
| Linux^Warrior | both | 20:05 |
| seppi | DasEi: Where can I get a winloader editor for linux? Whenever I boot, it goes to Boot: XP or Ubuntu, and then it loads grub | 20:05 |
| Linux^Warrior | I have a large archive of linux distro's :P | 20:06 |
| === rubatharisan is now known as Qubexy_ | ||
| Halitech | Linux^Warrior, Xubuntu should run | 20:06 |
| Halitech | Linux^Warrior, if the laptop is that useless to you, ship it to me c.o.d and I'll take it ;) | 20:06 |
| ecce_ego | is opensolaris merely a carbon copy of ubuntu | 20:06 |
| seppi | Linux^Warrior (crunchbang?) | 20:06 |
| DasEi | seppi: when grub installed on the 80, you can add an entry for the 250, so win boots | 20:06 |
| Linux^Warrior | not the 8.x my laptop is too old it is slower then a wet terd on a slanted roof | 20:06 |
| Halitech | ecce_ego, not even close | 20:06 |
| trism | shreymech: perhaps you didn't create the simulation file? | 20:06 |
| indy__ | hello everybody. Can I ask you about a problem on audio on Karmic Koala? | 20:07 |
| seppi | DasEi: ok, i'll give that a shot when i get home | 20:07 |
| ecce_ego | i dl'd it and it looks exactly the same | 20:07 |
| Linux^Warrior | it runs fine xp on 256mb ram | 20:07 |
| Linux^Warrior | jsut linux does not wanan run well on it | 20:07 |
| DasEi | seppi: it's am easy one, there is also #grub | 20:07 |
| Halitech | Linux^Warrior, I just finished installing Ubuntu on a Celly 638 with 384 meg of ram and it runs nicely | 20:07 |
| Linux^Warrior | that 100+ more ram then I got :P | 20:07 |
| ks3 | indy__, You'll likely need to ask in #ubuntu+1 | 20:07 |
| seppi | DasEi: ok, cool. I can hop in there if i have more problems :D | 20:07 |
| indy__ | ok thank you. | 20:07 |

| Linux^Warrior | nuh uuhh grub is a fat looking insect that matures into a fly or other flying bug LOL | 20:08 |
| shreymech | trism: but i don know hoe to create it.. after reading tutorial... i don'tknow how to create a vorticity.gfs file... although i have created vorticity directory.. | 20:09 |
| Linux^Warrior | well I have to try downlaod the ubuntu 4.x iso then | 20:09 |
| psiborg | yea.. grub is a really great name :) | 20:09 |
| Stanleyz000 | Grub is so grubby. | 20:09 |
| Halitech | Linux^Warrior, only thing is I had a crappy video card so I had to disable the visual effects | 20:09 |
| Linux^Warrior | mmmnnn.... grubs yum | 20:09 |
| trism | shreymech: use a text editor such as gedit or vim | 20:09 |
| DasEi | Linux^Warrior: I suggest you to download ubuntu 9.04 minimal | 20:10 |
| Linux^Warrior | slimy yet satisfying | 20:10 |
| ecce_ego | been having trouble with flash on 64 bit amd- it stops working about every other day and i must reinstall | 20:10 |
| Linux^Warrior | Das I do 9.04 minimal using the live cd DOES not run | 20:10 |
| Halitech | Linux^Warrior, you could also try Debian with xfce http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?t=26566 | 20:10 |

| Trevor | What would be the proper place to ask about trying to recover parts of my system? | 20:11 |
| Halitech | Linux^Warrior, the live cd won't, it needs 384 meg of ram but the alt install cd will work (just used it) | 20:11 |
| shreymech | trism: after that should i paste the given command in manual in that vorticity.gfs and save it...????? | 20:11 |

| seppi | Linux^Warrior: can't you install the xorg, xfce and it's extensions, with a simple gdm and then startx? | 20:11 |

| Trevor | Seppi, I'm not sure what you mean by filesystem. It's just a vanilla install of Ubuntu | 20:13 |
| Linux^Warrior | lol must be a 10 year old | 20:13 |
| Trevor | So the folder would be in that trash folder? | 20:13 |
| KaiForce | depends on how you deleted it | 20:14 |

| Trevor | Seppi, it was a cmd delete. I was trying to remove a program, and deleted the wrong thing | 20:14 |
| KaiForce | buhbye data | 20:15 |
| seppi | Trevor: Well, default filesystem is EXT3, and a rm -r on a folder is irreversable | 20:15 |
| erUSUL | !undelete | 20:15 |
| ubottu | 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 | 20:15 |
| trism | shreymech: need to get used to using ls and cd to find files on the commandline | 20:15 |
| KaiForce | restore from your well documented, disciplined, and tested backup system. | 20:16 |
| Trevor | Is there some kind of generic backup? Or some way to recover from the install CD? | 20:16 |
| alankila_ | There is a method that boils down to "apt-get --reinstall install <put name of every package here>" | 20:16 |
| alankila_ | hardly optimal, so feel free to ignore this avenue. I sometimes use --reinstall to restore packages I've mucked with somehow | 20:17 |
| shreymech | trism: should i do the last one compiling and installing gfs..?? http://gfs.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Installing_from_source | 20:17 |
| joaopinto | better do a system reinstallar | 20:17 |

| Linux^Warrior | downlaod winrar for linux | 20:19 |
| ubuntu | hi | 20:19 |
| trism | shreymech: no it is already installed, you just need to create simulation files to use it, it just seems like you aren't where you saved your file | 20:19 |
| saltair | oh | 20:19 |
| Trevor | Sounds like it might be easiest to completely reinstall? | 20:19 |
| testi | capslock.. gone?: However - HTC Hero has Layer 3 connection sharing (routing) via USB, just has to be enabled - thanks! I love you! | 20:19 |

| innomen | masquerade, (odnt know if you caught this) Eye of GNOME is what i meant | 20:21 |
| Linux^Warrior | trevor all you can do is apt-get reinstall install packages-deleted goes here | 20:21 |
| seppi | innomen: and totem is? | 20:21 |
| masquerade | innomen: gifs are in general only played by browsers | 20:21 |
| shreymech | trism: it means it is asking me to install those packages.. so obviously they r not instlled i think...!!! | 20:21 |
| masquerade | eye of gnome.. hmm | 20:21 |
| innomen | seppi, a video player :P | 20:21 |

| innomen | masquerade, SOP | 20:22 |

| silidan | hi i am actually trying ubuntu 9.04 live cd on a gericom masterpiece 2540XL (G732, with an sis 645 DX chipset think) i am having problems with sound: its crackling | 20:22 |
| masquerade | innomen: great lol. SOP? | 20:22 |
| Linux^Warrior | he has to reinstall linux to get the old boot back | 20:22 |
| innomen | masquerade, standard operating procedure | 20:22 |
| Linux^Warrior | then use gparted to disable the grub in the tags section | 20:23 |
| innomen | :) | 20:23 |
| DasEi | Linux^Warrior: grub overwrites the win loader, so he has to reinstall the winloader >> windows | 20:23 |
| masquerade | HyperD: tar does only make one file out of many, it does not compress them. gz, bz and bz2 do | 20:23 |
| fumex | hj guy | 20:23 |

| testi | HighLordObsi: Did you put sardines into your speakers? | 20:23 |
| seppi | innomen: gif's are ancient. I dont even think eog (eye of gnome) animates them anymore. Your best bet is firefox. | 20:23 |
| HighLordObsi | my desk is clean except for my pipe, a bag of tobacco, an ash tray and a lighter | 20:23 |
| masquerade | T`2, had this problem also | 20:23 |
| Trevor | seppi, I'm guessing if someone tared theirs up and gave it to me, I could restore from that | 20:23 |
| Linux^Warrior | grub takes ovewr winloader if not diabled when you remove linux even if the partition not there I done the 2 times before | 20:24 |

| innomen | trism, you wound me, i like gnome, but of course i've never tried anything else :P | 20:36 |
| seppi | Trevor: I think you might be happier just spending 10 min reinstalling, instead of two hours trying to figure out how to download the files | 20:36 |
| Trevor | Seppi: Yeah, I was staring at the console window for a while going wtf did I just do. | 20:36 |
| astroid | hi. I connected a microphone to the front of my PC and I can hear what I say through my loudspeakers, however when I'm trying to record I only record background noise. Also, in volume control, whenever I want to enable capturing the mic, it gets disabled the next time I open volume control. what can I do? | 20:36 |
| innomen | trism, would trying kde or something else break my apps? | 20:37 |
| Linux^Warrior | im just saying nothing disapears someone has to serve it | 20:37 |
| trism | innomen: I'm using gnome too, I'm just saying that on slower machines, a lightweight window manager is generally better (faster) | 20:37 |
| seppi | Trevor: I feel for you. me: "rm -r Sorted_music" one second later, "CTRL-C/D oh god oh god oh god" | 20:37 |

| zamolxes | thank you | 20:38 |
| Trevor | Seppi: Yeah, I'm just glad that an Ubuntu install is so easy, not hard to get going again. Thanks for all your help though. | 20:38 |
| bia | oie | 20:38 |

| DasEi | !version | Linux^Warrior | 20:40 |
| ubottu | Linux^Warrior: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy <package> » | 20:40 |
| zamolxes | alankila_: apt-get works on the livecd :) | 20:40 |
| seppi | onnomenL otherway around | 20:40 |
| astroid | DasEi: hmm, not quite. what should I set for the recording device? there are a number of devices in there. | 20:40 |
| nothingHappens_ | say, i've got an annoyance and i'm not sure if it's something i can fix by configuring something, or if it's just because my computer sucks | 20:40 |

| ks3 | Linux^Warrior, LVM allows more flexibility in your partitions, but shouldn't increase performance. | 20:51 |
| fumex | DasEi it did trick me | 20:51 |
| edbian | Linux^Warrior: Why do you want to run such an old version of ubuntu in the first place? | 20:51 |
| DasEi | fumex: does k3b work ? | 20:51 |
| Linux^Warrior | well if you read the conversation youwould know | 20:51 |
| erUSUL | JohnTeddy: probably what you want is to adjust /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules | 20:51 |
| dajhorn | JohnTeddy: Look at this file: /lib/udev/rules.d/75-persistent-net-generator.rules | 20:51 |
| innomen | forgot something, anyone know where a wrking semi recent deb of projectm could be located? | 20:51 |

| innomen | DasEi, yes but as i said the whole make process fails misrably | 20:54 |
| Hordeking | alankila_: It had an error opening the volume... | 20:54 |
| innomen | DasEi, are you 32bit i386? | 20:54 |
| edbian | android6011: Just install the typical ubuntu and then install the packages you want for you file server (sshfs, cifs, nfs, samba) | 20:54 |

| DasEi | innomen: no, but could fire up a vm, few minutes .. | 20:54 |
| Hordeking | alankila_: Does the volume need to be unmounted? | 20:54 |
| android6011 | edbian: thats what i planned on doing | 20:54 |
| seppi | android6011: are you on a dynamic IP, or static? | 20:55 |
| JohnTeddy | erUSUL: I did this '# | 20:55 |
| innomen | DasEi, if you were to make a deb for me i would be a very happy camper but it'll be a massive hassel so i understand if you'd rather not :) | 20:55 |

| JohnTeddy | dajhorn: No, I do want to stop this script. I have many computers, and I want to be able to swap hard disks from one computer to another. Everything works fine, except eth0 can't go up, because the MAC is tied to this udev rule in some way. If it wasn't for this udev rule, what I want is possible and would work fine. | 20:56 |
| innomen | James192345, give is floaties and a helmet (they grow up so fast dont they) :P | 20:56 |
| The-Phoenix | will that work for windows and linux? | 20:56 |
| innomen | DasEi, one moment | 20:56 |
| seppi | android6011: well, if the network looking at the mac address? Can'y you run a live CD, register it on the network, and then go back to the minimal CLI, or is it session based? | 20:56 |
| The-Phoenix | will dd work for windows and linux? | 20:57 |
| android6011 | seppi: its session based | 20:57 |
| edbian | The-Phoenix: dd only runs inside linux. But it will copy any fs yes. | 20:57 |
| trism | The-Phoenix: you can get dd with cygwin on windows | 20:57 |
| android6011 | its a real pita | 20:57 |
| The-Phoenix | I dont really want to run cygwin | 20:57 |
| dajhorn | JohnTeddy: Add a stanza for the eth0 device to the /etc/network/interfaces file, reboot, and see it behaves like you want. | 20:57 |
| seppi | android6011: if lynx, or links don't work, you may have to go with firefox. xubuntu is the lowest end with an xorg. | 20:57 |
| innomen | DasEi, http://sourceforge.net/projects/projectm/files/ | 20:58 |
| seppi | android6011: but if you're really worried about any xorg, just run it to run firefox when you need it, and then drop back down to shell | 20:58 |
| Mr_Bag | In ubuntu 9.04 is it possible to change the default browser? 'm useing shiretoko for firefox 3.5, but even time i click a link in another app it opens up the normal firefox installtion "/ | 20:58 |
| android6011 | seppi: ya, i figured id check into spoofing user agent in links after i got done with the install | 20:58 |
| Hordeking | Anyone know what the relatime option is on fstab? | 20:58 |
| android6011 | if not then go with xfce or something | 20:58 |

| Mr_Bag | edbian:Thanks :D | 20:59 |
| Shoe | How do I put more videos on my iPod? Do I need another application, or can I do it with gtkpod or Rhythm Box? | 20:59 |
| seppi | android6011: yeah, go with xubuntu, or install your xorg and xfce with the correct extensions, and then when you connect, just kill gdm, and xorg will only take up space on your compy | 20:59 |
| edbian | Hordeking: You want relatime option for all of your local (on a HDD directly connected to the computer). It has to do with file timestamps. Check out "man mount" It's buried somewhere in there. | 20:59 |
| Hordeking | alankila_: So, nothing critical, unless I'm really concerned about knowing when last the file was accessed. | 20:59 |
| android6011 | ok. thank for the info | 20:59 |
| The-Phoenix | Are there any programs that run on windows and linux and just create a basic iso image? I dont really need a full back-up utiliy. I just want the ability to create and then reburn HDD images. | 21:00 |
| seppi | android6011: np | 21:00 |
| alankila_ | Hordeking: unix is very special among platforms that it transforms every read into a write via these atime timestamps. It's a historical snafu. | 21:00 |
| Shoe | How do I put more videos on my iPod? Do I need another application, or can I do it with gtkpod or Rhythm Box? | 21:00 |
| alankila_ | I typically turn these off entirely. | 21:00 |
| The-Phoenix | I guess it doesnt have to run on linux cause I can always just copy all my linux files | 21:00 |
| JohnTeddy | dajhorn: What do I add? | 21:00 |
| Hordeking | alankila_: Logically, that makes sense, but I bet that slowed down things a lot. | 21:00 |

| innomen | DasEi, wait | 21:03 |
| innomen | DasEi, there is more now | 21:03 |

| seppi | The-Phoenix: try remastersys, if you want to back up your distro with the way the settings are | 21:04 |
| DasEi | innomen: he | 21:05 |
| JohnTeddy | dajhorn: I already have auto eth0, and iface eth0 inet dhcp. dajhorn This has to do with MAC addresses being tied to a udev rule on the hard disk. So if I swap hard disk to a new machine, eth0 interface can't go up. I need to stop this /lib/udev/write_net_rules script from executing. I can just rm /lib/udev/write_net_rules, and that fixes the problem. But that is a hack. If udev is updated, it will just break it again when i updates the package. I wan | 21:05 |
| p1oooop | hello | 21:05 |
| Hordeking | Alright, I have a few more silly questions...Is there an Ubuntu DVD that has all of the options on it for desktop and server? Also, with the 32b and 64b libraries and kernels? How do I make synaptic show more packages, for instances, the server daemons and such? | 21:05 |
| Hordeking | As a note, I was running Slackware before, so this was an interesting change for me. | 21:06 |
| Guest87676 | xchat -p | 21:06 |
| dajhorn | JohnTeddy: If the udev rule is not honoring the config file, and if you want to delete the script that updates the rule, then look at the dpkg-divert program. | 21:06 |
| p1oooop | Hordeking: mostly, yes... | 21:06 |
| DasEi | Hordeking: dvd always contains either 32 or 64, not both, though could bring it on a double layer, but then only one is bootable. to get more packages, can add sources to sources.list | 21:07 |
| p1oooop | Hordeking: what about the libs and kernels | 21:07 |
| shachaf | DNS addresses are being resolved to the wrong IPs and then cached. This happens all the time -- it's very annoying. | 21:07 |
| Hordeking | DasEi: Is there a list of sources somewhere? I want to add more sources. | 21:07 |
| shachaf | How do I at least clear the cache? | 21:07 |
| seppi | Hordeking: I found this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-850892.html . I don't think there's a conventonal way to do it. | 21:08 |
| p1oooop | shachaf: I remember there is a file | 21:08 |
| innomen | DasEi, and how do i run it? this is a much earlier version as well the page says there is a 2.0 | 21:08 |
| ks3 | JohnTeddy, I've not tried this, but you may be able to add each of your machines MAC addresses to the file and assign them eth0? I would assume that would work as long as you didn't have more than one of them in the machine at a time. | 21:08 |
| Hordeking | DasEi: As an interesting extra question, can I cache the installer files so I don't have to re-download them later? | 21:08 |
| Cyber_Akuma | Can anybody help me get Ubuntu installed on my PS3? I have the Ps3 version of the distro, but after I press enter at the bootup screen the installer just meeks mkaing my screen blink | 21:08 |

| trism | storing phone numbers as one integer is probably a bad idea | 21:22 |
| trism | you could use an array of integers, but a string would be less storage space | 21:22 |

| seppi | trism: what about an integer with a max of 9? | 21:25 |
| trism | not saying you can't do it that way, just seems simpler as a string | 21:25 |
| nanotube | trism: ah, well... yea, but a phone number can be logically broken down into 3 short ints... which is better i think. that said, unless storage space is /really/ at a premium, it may be easier to just work with a string. | 21:26 |

| seppi | chris_lenz123: you know how to get ffmpeg working in jaunty? the help.ubuntu.com doesn't work | 21:32 |
| chris_lenz123 | i just got a program shoe, ill tell you how to get it | 21:32 |
| Guest88944 | yeah, the problem is im not using x11, i need it to install RTCW:ET (server) | 21:32 |
| bko | DasEi: Yes. | 21:32 |
| Shoe | go right ahead | 21:32 |
| DasEi | Macha: google free DNS server, fetch one, ping it, put it in resolv.conf, restart network | 21:32 |
| nanotube | Guest88944: then use "apt-cache search libc" | 21:32 |
| blastimir | someone, anyone? :( | 21:32 |
| chris_lenz123 | seppi:ffmpeg you can get in resp | 21:32 |
| seppi | chris_lenz123: sure, but how do i compile it with the h264 support? | 21:33 |
| syntax | Is there a way to login your email address threw terminal Example username password | 21:33 |
| xsadusx | quit | 21:33 |
| Guest88944 | < seppi> Guest88944: in 9,04, i see: sudo apt-get install glibc-2.9-1 | 21:33 |
| arleslie | syntax: just use the email address as a username | 21:33 |
| shamike | trism: can i use wget and crontab together | 21:33 |
| seppi | Guest88944: I don't understand your previous question | 21:33 |

| Shoe | chris_lenz123, were you going to tell me the program you use to convert video formats? | 21:34 |
| DasEi | bko : you could use gparted to shrink existing partition , so you get space needed for saving, (/home), then copy it over, so it's an independent partition, then install over the old sys an then mount saved-parti for home | 21:34 |

| Ky|e | Thanks pricey | 21:43 |
| Ky|e | that was the issue | 21:43 |
| gwildor | blastimir, im not certain then, normally when i cant record, i have one of the inputs muted.... | 21:43 |
| * Pricey highfives Ky|e | 21:44 | |
| seppi | some: check alsamixer, and make sure nothing's muted | 21:44 |
| some | I did that | 21:44 |
| some | Although when I go to "Volume Control", there's no headphone bar | 21:45 |
| innomen | DasEi, its actually installing *hope hope hope* | 21:45 |
| some | and when I typed alsamixer in terminal, there's just "00" on headphone | 21:45 |
| seppi | some; are there any devices that you can select in the volume control? | 21:46 |
| some | In "Switches" headphone is checked | 21:46 |

| chrism2671 | i've tried editing ~/.profile to insert an alias but it seems the term in gnome ignores it. what could be the problem? | 21:47 |
| gwildor | blastimir, just get one, they are free | 21:48 |
| some | In vista it would always display: Your audio jack is now plugged in or something when I plugged in my headphones | 21:48 |

| DasEi | Spike1506: on your own risk : | 21:49 |
| DasEi | !envyng | 21:49 |
| ubottu | EnvyNG is a program to install newer version of nVidia or ATi drivers, it can be found in !Universe as "envyng-gtk" (for Gtk/Gnome) or "envyng-qt" (for Qt/KDE).

| meekatron | unop: thanks i`ll give them a try.. | 21:58 |
| blastimir | gwildor: this is....strange... I have discovered that there are two additional options "Capture" and "Capture 1" which were muted.. I've enabled them, and here comes the funny part: I can record silence! I get a lot of static but not my own voice?? | 21:59 |

| gwildor | Elementalist, i use it on my 1000h, its fast | 21:59 |
| gwildor | Elementalist, 9.10 atleast | 21:59 |
| gwildor | blastimir, sadly, i can offer no more... did you test skype? | 22:00 |
| Elementalist | Any non-Atom procs, though? The 901s and below don't use Atom. | 22:00 |
| gwildor | Elementalist, oh, its a celly.... should still be good, what you using now? | 22:00 |
| Trijntje | prodigel: I'm still not sure how to do that, sorry | 22:00 |

| Elementalist | 9.04, I believe. | 22:01 |
| jibadeeha | Elementalist: 901 uses atom | 22:01 |
| gwildor | imo, anything 9.10 is faster than 9.04.... imo | 22:01 |
| gwildor | brb | 22:01 |
| blastimir | gwildor: SCORE! There is also an options tab you can switch on (why is it not visible by default??) where I simply choose the input source.. apparently I have to set it to "front mic" instead of just "mic" | 22:01 |
| CopyWriter | grsync: i can't browse the network tho i don't know, i know how dumb that would sound | 22:01 |
| Elementalist | jibadeeha: Does it really? Huh... Well, either way, the Netbook Remix is listed as working on the 701 if I remember correctly, and I'm preeeetty sure that doesn't. | 22:01 |
| Max007 | Hi | 22:02 |
| Brazz | what is the Gnome System? | 22:02 |
| Max007 | I'm using compiz + emerald. when I'm in a terminal there's no window border so it's hard to resize the window. Does anyone know a fix ? | 22:03 |
| Trijntje | !gnome|Brazz | 22:03 |
| ubottu | Brazz: GNOME is the default !desktop environment on Ubuntu. To install it from Kubuntu or Xubuntu, type « sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » in a !terminal. | 22:03 |
| teh_mastah | Max007, is that the first time that happened or has that happened before? | 22:03 |
| Max007 | teh_mastah: since I use emerald/compiz | 22:04 |
| teh_mastah | Max007, try restarting x | 22:04 |
| gino | hi | 22:04 |
| Max007 | teh_mastah: same thing for pidgin window.. no border | 22:04 |
| Brazz | Trijntje: so its not a process I would like to terminate is it? | 22:04 |
| erUSUL | !emerald | 22:04 |
| ubottu | emerald is an obsolete window decorator for compiz. It's unsupported and unmaintained, making issues with it very hard to diagnose and fix. There are no known, supported alternatives. | 22:04 |
| MyNameIsLuca | Brazz: Software that builds a desktop of the name "GNOME" (GNU NETWORK OBJECT MODEL ENVIRONMENT) | 22:04 |
| Max007 | teh_mastah: I tried it hundreds of time | 22:04 |
| teh_mastah | Max007, idk what you can do then | 22:04 |
| Trijntje | Brazz: no, that would be a bad idea | 22:04 |

| Trijntje | Brazz: emm, your welcome, what was going one if i may ask? | 22:07 |
| Elementalist | ... Well I'll be. D: Evidently I misread. Does the Netbook Remix really depend on the Atom processor that much? | 22:07 |
| kiaas_ | Elementalist, I run the UNR on a 1.8ghz P4 | 22:07 |
| kiaas_ | desktop | 22:08 |
| Adam_eM | I just installed ubuntu next to winxp but the root partition is too small so i shrinked the ntfs one with gparted but then the / partition can't use the unallocated space left | 22:08 |
| Brazz | Trijntje: nothing really, I just heard my CPU exauster sound a bit unusual like if I was running many things... maybe its "Audaciou" together with a pdf file I was reading | 22:08 |
| Elementalist | kiaas_, kinda outstrips my 900 Mhz Celeron though. :P Really, everything works fine, except the home interface. Lags absolutely awful. | 22:08 |
| Trijntje | Adam_em: is your ubuntu system on an extended partition? | 22:08 |

| kiaas_ | Elementalist, it lags on a 1.6ghz ATOM, and 1.8ghz P4, too | 22:09 |
| zefyx | anyone know wth the problem is. | 22:09 |
| Trijntje | !ff35|Nareth | 22:09 |
| ubottu | Nareth: Firefox 3.5 Final is available for Jaunty by installing the package firefox-3.5 and firefox-3.5-gnome-support | FF3.5 is referred to as Shiretoko in your UI, see http://is.gd/1reB3 for an explanation | Hardy & Intrepid: http://is.gd/1jkNY | 22:09 |
| Brazz | Trijntje: and the gnome process I was intending to terminate was the gnome-system-monitor which is the system monitor I am using to check how the CPU usage is, so I just realised it myself after you told me what gnome was | 22:09 |
| Adam_eM | Trijntje: indeed. It is | 22:09 |
| mixer_ | ecchime | 22:09 |
| Nareth | Thank you. | 22:09 |
| Trijntje | Brazz: haha, i noticed that too, its very heavy for a monitor ;) | 22:09 |
| Entelin | i'm installing the server edition, on the software selection page theres a "virtual server host" option, what virtulisation software does that install? virtualbox? xen? vmware? | 22:10 |
| Elementalist | kiaas_, ah. Well. Guess I'll have to find an alternative then. KDE 3.5 seems to work well enough on SLAX, maybe Kubuntu 8.04 could work. Or... Something. | 22:10 |
| Trijntje | Adam_eM: that seems to be a know bug in Gparted. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gparted/+bug/271007 | 22:10 |

| kunji | Hey everyone, I'm having some trouble playing particular wma files on Ubuntu 9.04. The problem occurs with various players (Audacious, VLC, Mplayer). My standard wmas will play, but I have some that were ripped using Windows Media Player at the quality of the cd instead of the default 192 kb/sec and these files will not play. | 22:17 |
| robertwdf | hello. I've somehow managed to remove part of the panel that held the network monitor and bluetooth icons. how can I get them back? | 22:17 |
| kiaas_ | hamdi, we don't know how to help..until we know what to help with. EXPLAIN THE PROBLEM. it's the first thing to do, instead of repeating "please help"" | 22:17 |
| Trijntje | Adam_eM: we could talk easier in #ubuntu-nl i think | 22:17 |
| CopyWriter | there we go, got it done, did the first 4 gb without a problem, thanks DasEi | 22:17 |
| hamdi | some troble | 22:17 |
| radioman-lt | i still don't see you ;/ | 22:18 |
| kiaas_ | kunji, I wonder if they got DRM'd | 22:18 |
| Dawgmatix | kunji - maybe the files have some drm on them ? | 22:18 |
| hamdi | kiass thank you so much | 22:18 |
| indy_ | robertwdf: right click on task bar and add to bar | 22:18 |
| kunji | drm'd? | 22:18 |
| vigo | robertwdf: Have you tried the restore at boot option? | 22:18 |
| zenlunatic | robertwdf: add notification center | 22:18 |
| zenlunatic | or notification area | 22:19 |

| Potet | Hello. I try to make bluetooth work on my Asus Eee 900, but I've got a problem. When i try to make bluetooth visible under settings, it doesn't work. If i click "Always visible" it will look like it's working, but the next time I staret the program it will go back to hidden. If I click "Temprary visible" it will go straight back to hidden. Anybody knows what Ican do? I'm sorry for my horrible english, I'm norwegian. :3 | 22:19 |
| speedxxxcore | Vad är det för kommando för att söka filer? | 22:19 |

| robertwdf | zenlunatic: how do I add notification center? | 22:19 |
| Adam_eM | Trijntje: i can't see a patch you mentioned though | 22:19 |
| kunji | kiaas_, Dawmatrix: I'm not familiar with that term. | 22:19 |
| kiaas_ | Fffffffffffffffffffffff... I touched a piece of metal. that's only being heated by the air. It burned. (but not in the "leave a scar" way) | 22:19 |
| libtech | is it possible to connect to a windows 7 machine from ubuntu with remote desktop connection? | 22:20 |

| VCoolio | robertwdf: ok, nvm | 22:20 |
| wjb | I've got a strange error with installing Ubuntu from USB... Trying to install to hd gives 'ext2-fs error group descriptors corrupted' | 22:20 |
| Dawgmatix | when you copy a cd in windows media player, by default it puts a "protective cover" on the music which disallows the playing of the music by other computers / players | 22:21 |
| kiaas_ | It's a way to lock down a bit of media, and remove Fair Use on any digital content they don't want that part of copyright to apply to. | 22:21 |
| vigo | Potet: Have you used the Preferences>Main Menu settings? | 22:21 |
| wjb | the install fails and goes back to BusyBox (initramfs) shell | 22:21 |
| MyNameIsLuca | wjb: bad hd, or bad hd formatting ? | 22:21 |
| gartral | wjb: did you format the hardrive as ext2 or ext3? | 22:21 |
| wjb | i haven't formatted at all yet... the install fails before that | 22:21 |
| pcfreak30 | ok i would like to know. why is it that every linux fps game iplay has hoorble lag and is terribly slow | 22:21 |
| kunji | kiaas: I suppose it's possible, but wouldn't the stuff I ripped at 192 kb/sec be affected as well then? I was thinking they ripped with some other settings that the normal codecs in vlc, etc.. don't handle. | 22:21 |
| MyNameIsLuca | wjb: Your hd could be hosed | 22:22 |
| wjb | the machine wouldn't boot from CD, so i created a USB from another Ubuntu (9.04) machine and the latest Ubuntu ISO | 22:22 |
| Potet | vigo: it gives the same result | 22:22 |
| odinsbane | pcfreak30: are you using wine? | 22:22 |
| teh_mastah | pcfreak30, what is your graphics card? | 22:22 |
| pcfreak30 | no | 22:22 |
| wjb | no the hd is fine-- at least seems to be-- still boots into windows fine | 22:22 |
| pcfreak30 | its linux native games | 22:22 |
| Adam_eM | Trijntje: PM.... would you mind? | 22:22 |
| Trijntje | adam_em: you have to use the command line tool 'parted' to extend the partition | 22:22 |
| pcfreak30 | big mmo fps 3d games | 22:23 |
| teh_mastah | pcfreak30, what is your graphics card, and do you have the most up-to-date drivers for it? | 22:23 |
| MyNameIsLuca | wjb: Thats not equal to "HD is fine". | 22:23 |
| vigo | Potet: It was worth asking, I have used that route to fix similar errors and such...let me look some,,,, | 22:23 |
| libtech | im able to connect to windows xp with terminal server client, but not windows 7 | 22:23 |
| pcfreak30 | even bzflag sucks | 22:23 |
| gartral | wjb: ok, reboot borked machine, drop into the BIOS and make sure that CDROM is the top boot device, and try to install from cd again | 22:23 |
| Supersaiyan_IV | pcfreak30, turn off compiz before playing try metacity --replace | 22:23 |
| kiaas_ | kunji, I havn't used windows in quite a while. Maybe it only applies it to "CD Quality" allowing lesser qualities to go unaffected. | 22:23 |
| wjb | even with cd as top, it won't recognize it | 22:23 |
| wjb | we tried that first | 22:23 |
| pcfreak30 | saidly i have a tardard dell intergated grphics | 22:23 |
| gartral | wjb: then your disk might be bad | 22:24 |
| pcfreak30 | i have a hardware list on my hd | 22:24 |
| eptalon | heyas | 22:24 |
| Jaesin | is it true that sudo is not the same as logging in as root? | 22:24 |
| kiaas_ | pcfreak30, that's probably Intel then, and Intel's graphics are quite slow. some get by ok at low settings, some don't. | 22:24 |
| MyNameIsLuca | pcfreak30: have you to be tardard barnyard ? | 22:24 |
| ecumenical | my mouse is gone, how can I get to keyboard prefrences to enable arrow keys to move the cursor? Also, where is a good resource to learn keyboard shortcuts? | 22:24 |
| wjb | it could be, but i think the cd issue is different from this one-- the cd doesn't even spin (even though it's the top choice)... | 22:24 |
| teh_mastah | pcfreak30, that is why you are lagging, integrated cards suck for gaming | 22:24 |
| eptalon | If I install the thing to a virtual disk, is it possible ot create a "live system" CD/DVD form that system later? | 22:24 |
| wjb | i.e., i don't get anything ubuntu | 22:24 |
| pcfreak30 | http://rapidshare.com/files/266334562/hardware.html | 22:25 |
| vigo | Potet: Have you looked at /var/lib/bluetooth? | 22:25 |
| wjb | so im using usb version | 22:25 |
| libtech | yeah dont try to game with onboard video | 22:25 |
| pcfreak30 | del dem 300 | 22:25 |
| pcfreak30 | 3000* | 22:25 |
| teh_mastah | you could try lowering the graphics settings in-game, but thats about all you can do | 22:25 |
| libtech | pcfreak30: what game are you trying to run? | 22:25 |
| wjb | trying to get into ubuntu (rather than installing) from usb also fails to initramfs | 22:25 |
| MyNameIsLuca | pcfreak30: "del dem" ? | 22:25 |
| teh_mastah | or you could upgrade your gfx card | 22:25 |
| pcfreak30 | why does dell gotta ruin games | 22:25 |
| kiaas_ | I have had ONE integrated intel video chipset work Alright with videogames. I have had 3(newer ones..oddly enough) that don't do so hot. | 22:26 |
| gartral | wjb: what kind of system is it your trying to get to install ubuntu? | 22:26 |
| wjb | dell optiplex 755 | 22:26 |
| wjb | i.e., new | 22:26 |
| MyNameIsLuca | pcfreak30: "Dell Dimension 3000" ? | 22:26 |
| libtech | pcfreak30: dell doesn't "ruin" games, you simply need a decent graphics card | 22:26 |
| Potet | vigo: no, i thing i checked the bluetooth-folder in /etc/. I'll check it out now, but I'm not too good at changing text files. :P But thank you, I'll check it out. | 22:26 |
| vigo | Potet: I found this from 2006: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=162007 ,, still looking | 22:26 |
| gartral | wjb: 2 things, 1) please put my name in the post, and 2) your enter key is not puncuation | 22:27 |
| kiaas_ | pcfreak30, it isn't dell, it's Intel, with that part. Dell chose the Intel video chipset because it is cheap, and reliable. Intel made that videochipset, because it is cheap, and allows more people to get computers. | 22:27 |
| ecumenical | I can't get the System menu to open up without a mouse. What is the keyboard shortcut? | 22:27 |
| kunji | kiaas: Could be, though that seems really odd to me... would any of these programs know if it was drm'd? VLC "plays" the files but I don't hear anything. MPlayer gives this error: "Cannot find codec for audio format 0x163." | 22:27 |
| wjb | gartal: sorry about the punctuation :) | 22:27 |
| wjb | gartral: and that's how you spell you name... | 22:27 |
| libtech | is there anyway to get better performance with an intel chipset? | 22:28 |
| gartral | wjb: you can use tab after you type "gart" and get your client to autocomplete :P | 22:28 |
| pcfreak30 | ecumenical, do a sudo apt-get gnome-control-panel | 22:28 |
| pcfreak30 | then run | 22:28 |
| pcfreak30 | u can access suuff using tab and arrow keys | 22:28 |
| streblo | is there a way to watch what another logged in user is doing? | 22:28 |
| pcfreak30 | still gui tho | 22:28 |
| kiaas_ | libtech, yeah, install a discrete videocard from ATI or Nvidia | 22:28 |
| wjb | gartral: thanks. So I can't get into Ubuntu from the USB disk, meaning I can't even "try out" ubuntu on the machine | 22:28 |
| gartral | wjb: do you want this machine to dualboot windows and linux, or just have ubuntu? | 22:28 |
| roffe | Is it possible to have two graphics drivers and "simply" switch between them? At login perhaps | 22:28 |
| streblo | for instance, i have another user logged in on my server right now, and they're trying to set up lucene. i want to watch their progress. is there a way of doing this? | 22:29 |
| wjb | gartral: which doesn't reformat anything, so i don't think it's a disk issue. Just Linux. Not a dualbooter | 22:29 |
| ecumenical | pcfreak30, what does that do? it won't install it. | 22:29 |
| libtech | kiaas_: im on a netbook though | 22:29 |
| kiaas_ | libtech, ah, Nothing you can do on netbooks/notebooks | 22:29 |
| streblo | besides constantly cat-ing their .bash_histry | 22:29 |
| pcfreak30 | ecumenical, huh, i gotin in linux mint [ubuntu fork] its a control panel like win cp | 22:29 |
| roffe | Is it possible to have two graphics drivers and "simply" switch between them? At login perhaps | 22:30 |
| streblo | i just saw someone using mint this weekend, looks pretty slick | 22:30 |
| ecumenical | pcfreak30, ok, I have gnome-control-center up | 22:30 |
| ecumenical | thank you :-) | 22:30 |
| kiaas_ | OK, environmental temperature is too high. I feel ill, etc. | 22:30 |
| wjb | gartral: We've just tried running wubi.exe from within Vista, which I thought was going to install the GRUB loader, but it failed after copying files... no change after trying that... | 22:30 |
| libtech | are there other distros that have better support for intel video, or are they all the same basically? | 22:31 |
| pcfreak30 | ecumenical, oh that the name. soz got mixed up | 22:31 |
| MyNameIsLuca | roffe: a good question. you certainly can select a primary chip at xserver startup | 22:31 |
| gartral | wjb: im seeing multiple device failure reports accross the mobo with a google search, Optiplex seem too use strange mobos, even if you could get it working, your faceing: your LAN may not work, your PCI bus doesn't work, and only one ram bus seems too be allocated... Dell optiplex 755 are also labeled "garbage" on the linuxhcl site | 22:31 |
| eptalon | libtech: probably all about the same | 22:31 |
| wjb | gartral: if we can't even "try ubuntu", could it still be that my disk is a brick? | 22:32 |
| MyNameIsLuca | gartral: The Optiplex had broken bioses. Update those | 22:32 |
| gartral | wjb: not necisarily, you can always reload windows... | 22:32 |
| wjb | gartral: ouch. Well we have a optiplex 750 that worked just fine. ubuntu 8.4 on that one | 22:32 |
| gartral | MyNameIsLuca: tell it too wjb not me | 22:32 |
| MyNameIsLuca | wjb: update the bios | 22:32 |
| skazi21101 | hello everybody. please tell me what is wrong. when i try to compile kernel it talking me this http://paste.ubuntu.com/251604/ | 22:32 |
| roffe | MyNameIsLuca, I would certanily be in need of it, but I guess one can't switch between them. You can choose desktop environment, so I thought maybe it's the same | 22:33 |
| wjb | MyNameIsLuca: its a brand new machine... now googling for updated bios | 22:33 |
| MyNameIsLuca | roffe: No thats about using profiles/different commands to select a configured video profile from the xserver configuration. | 22:34 |
| MyNameIsLuca | wjb. I have bought many new machines with broken bioses. Its nothing new | 22:34 |
| Ky|e | lol ya | 22:35 |

| gartral | wjb: your other option, is to pull the drive from the 755 and put it into another machine, load the os, and swap it back into the 755 | 22:46 |
| gartral | MyNameIsLuca: ok, sue me for not knowing proper terminology | 22:46 |
| MyNameIsLuca | Noo, not a problem | 22:46 |

| b3rz3rk3r | DeathMetalDean, the man pages | 22:51 |
| vigo | DeathMetalDean: Use the MAN pages. | 22:51 |
| signpost | erUSUL: that didn't help much. there's no xen-specific kernel package, so I'm asking if the server kernel supports xen (as it doesn't appear to), or if it was pulled | 22:51 |
| Luisito | español | 22:51 |
| kiaas_ | wjb, the Ubuntu CD is supposed to use CDFS, and therefor be readable by Windows, Linux, Mac, and any other OS that can read typical CDs | 22:51 |

| magical_walrus | I went to #xampp, but everyone is idling on that channel, so can someone help me with a question on XAMPP for ubuntu? | 22:52 |
| b3rz3rk3r | DeathMetalDean, gives you the manual for that prog | 22:52 |
| alankila_ | hmh. Finally discovered the cause of my java-pulseaudio problem. Turns out pulseaudio is able to output via the digital link because it probably opens the iec958 device but java opens hw:0,0 and needs some setting changes in ALSA before it will work. | 22:52 |
| DeathMetalDean | b3rz3rk3r: ummm how do i get the manual pages O_o | 22:52 |
| vigo | DeathMetalDean: Manual pages, enter the name of the program, and look at the Manual. | 22:53 |
| b3rz3rk3r | DeathMetalDean, use the force | 22:53 |
| b3rz3rk3r | DeathMetalDean, (terminal) | 22:53 |
| alankila_ | pulseaudio however changes the mixer setting that chooses between analog and digital routing every time it starts. | 22:53 |
| psiborg | DeathMetalDean: open a console: hit alt+f2 type xterm | 22:53 |

| p1oooop | hello everyone | 22:54 |
| === chal`away is now known as chalcedony | ||
| wjb | kiaas_: so should i be worried about the fact that Vista can't read the CD? I've dl'ed and burned the iso numerous times in an attempt to get a working cd... | 22:54 |
| p1oooop | wjb: does your disk drive work? | 22:54 |
| p1oooop | wjb: you can always try by burning a different CD | 22:55 |
| b3rz3rk3r | wjb, are you burning the .iso as an image or data cd? | 22:55 |
| p1oooop | wjb: ^^ | 22:55 |
| wjb | kiaas_: meaning multiple discs. Yeah, the drive works fine. I can put in other cd's in just fine. I'm using Disk Utility in Mac to burn the image | 22:55 |
| kiaas_ | wjb, probably. | 22:55 |
| b3rz3rk3r | wjb, when you put the cd in, what happens? | 22:56 |
| vigo | DeathMetalDean: This page explains a bit about MAN. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/man | 22:56 |
| libtech | how can you check the version of your video driver | 22:56 |
| p1oooop | Shoe: bye | 22:56 |
| === Shinobi is now known as Guest80340 | ||
| wjb | kiaas_: vista tries to read it and says 'insert a disk into drive D:' Mac can read the disk fine | 22:56 |
| p1oooop | libtech: what driver? | 22:56 |
| DeathMetalDean | vigo: I opened the man amsn but like nothing came up about amsneliza the plugin | 22:56 |
| p1oooop | mesa? | 22:56 |
| kunji | kiaas_: I think that I would need a different codec to play pack these files despite that they have the same extension. Wiki had this to say: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WMA_Lossless | 22:56 |
| kiaas_ | kunji, I don' | 22:57 |
| p1oooop | wjb: okay then... probably formatted as a different filesystem type | 22:57 |
| b3rz3rk3r | DeathMetalDean, if its a third party plugin, you will need to go the authors site | 22:57 |
| kiaas_ | kunji, I don't use windows. I don't rip with WMP, so I'm not familiar with the issue* (pesky enter button) | 22:57 |
| ilyas | i want install driver nvidia gf2 on ubuntu 9.10 | 22:57 |
| p1oooop | wjb: so sad vista can't read ext4 | 22:57 |
| ilyas | no show on hardware driver | 22:58 |
| kunji | kiaas_: sorry about that, wasn't sure if you caught the first message. | 22:58 |
| alankila_ | ilyas: you need the legacy driver for such an old thing, or just the open-source one, that might work. | 22:58 |
| wjb | p1oooop: so if the disk is in the wrong fs (which could have been a mac disk utility issue) that would prob prevent Vista from reading it, and might prevent it from reading at bootup | 22:58 |
| vigo | DeathMetalDean: This is official, kinda: https://help.ubuntu.com/search.html?cof=FORID%3A9&cx=003883529982892832976%3Ae2vwumte3fq&ie=UTF-8&q=amsn&sa=Search | 22:58 |
| p1oooop | wjb: possibly... | 22:59 |
| kiaas_ | alankila_, I don't think the open source one has 3D support of any kind. | 22:59 |
| wjb | p1oooop: We burned a disc from Ubuntu as well and that didn't solve the issue | 22:59 |
| b3rz3rk3r | wjb, if the disk was burned correctly then it will be readable on an computer | 22:59 |
| alankila_ | kiaas_: perhaps not | 22:59 |
| alankila_ | there are some old drivers around like nvidia-glx-71 | 22:59 |
| b3rz3rk3r | wjb, thats sort of the point | 22:59 |
| vigo | DeathMetalDean: Is it the Windows Messenger thing or something like it? | 23:00 |
| DeathMetalDean | vigo: uhh im usin amsn which is a messenger but im just tryin to get the phrases on amsneliza the plugin :O | 23:00 |
| wjb | b3rz3rk3r: I've tried with two different iso's with two different operating systems (burned in mac and ubuntu) and neither disk can be read in Vista. Both can be read in Mac | 23:00 |

| wjb | b3rz3rk3r: someone said previously that means my hd is hosed. I don't think that's the case cause it happens when trying to run ubuntu (not install it) which doesn't reformat | 23:19 |
| Hordeking | MadMax1: Most virus scanners on linux are meant to prevent infected windows executables from passing along... | 23:19 |
| wjb | b3rz3rk3r: no, i haven't tried that | 23:19 |
| imme-emosol | I think that I `screwed` up my system ... :S | 23:19 |

| legend2440 | MOUD: sudo freshclam clamav-freshclam has to be installed for it to work | 23:19 |

| imme-emosol | vigo: Hmmm , yes , okay . I think I'll search a bit more myself ( I believe I saw something that started with `dpkg-` AND besides that , I just had the brilliant idea to run this LiveCD , which ofcourse provides me with way more options then my now corrupted installed version ... :P ) Thanks for your time though . | 23:29 |

| zefyx | what command would i use to link /home/rt/ & all subdirectorys to /media/storage | 23:32 |
| prince_jammys | grkblood13: gimp just moves the selected rectangle shape around without showing you a preview, right? | 23:32 |
| zefyx | so, anytime something is written to /home/rt/ it uses the space in /media/storage | 23:32 |

| kunji | binarydragon: That's unfortunate... | 23:35 |
| grkblood13 | i dont know how to make a fixed selection size | 23:35 |
| binarydragon | kunji, you also need to install the kernel heades for the Virtualbox to work | 23:35 |
| grkblood13 | and move that fixed size around | 23:35 |
