| Dr_Willis | wife/kids have very few issues using gnome with no training. | 00:00 |
| MOUD | Dark_Wolf, vagoth: It has windows XP only, but i'm sick of viruses so I want to put linux on it. | 00:00 |
| Dark_Wolf | alankila_, KDE would be more familiar with the taskbar and all | 00:00 |
| User9927 | Dr_Willis > Nice! XD | 00:00 |
| erUSUL | pw-toxic: try editing your /etc/default/acpi-support file find the line that reads MODULES= add tere your sound card module | 00:00 |
| Dark_Wolf | MOUD, virus protection? Avast and MalwareBytes Anti-Malware. | 00:00 |
| vagoth | MOUD: Thats no reason to use linux, get a good AV like Comodo | 00:00 |
| alankila_ | Dark_Wolf: err? and gnome doesn't have a task bar? I guess I tend to forget that I always remove the top status bar and just have a single "task bar" like thing at the bottom. | 00:00 |
| xjunior | please guys? | 00:00 |
| xjunior | I bought a new LCD Monitor, but Ubuntu is detecting it with a max resolution of 1024x768 (no, it's not wide). How do I change it? | 00:00 |
| MOUD | Dr_Willis: at least your wife likes linux on a certain way. good luck with it | 00:01 |
| Dark_Wolf | alankila_, yeah, I mean KDE has the whole familiar 'start' menu and the notification area in the same place as windows. | 00:01 |
| Dr_Willis | xjunior: dvi conector? VGA? can you use dvi? what vbideo card? | 00:01 |
| gartral | xjunior: what are you hooking it up with? | 00:01 |
| alankila_ | Dark_Wolf: I must agree, but I have to point out that it's trivial to arrange these elements in corresponding positions if you want on GNOME. | 00:01 |
| vagoth | xjunior: Install your video card(re-install perhaps_ | 00:02 |
| MOUD | I have tried Avast, AVG, Kaspersky (trial), NOD32 and some others. They don't remove the viruses well | 00:02 |
| koolkat | User9927: an external hd | 00:02 |
| Dark_Wolf | alankila_, I for one prefer GNOME. I was just pointing out that the configuration is default on KDE. | 00:02 |
| alankila_ | Dark_Wolf: right. | 00:02 |
| vagoth | MOUD: I use WindowsXP with COMODO AntiVirus, I hardly get viruses, and when I do, I go full skitz at it so it doesnty have a chance anyway | 00:02 |
| Qtrinux | hi guy's | 00:03 |
| gartral | MOUD: if im forced to maintain a winblows box, i will use Avira... there free edition is ok, but there paid-for is better | 00:03 |
| * erUSUL +1 to avira | 00:03 | |
| vagoth | Comodo has free and paid, paid is always better | 00:03 |
| xjunior | Dr_Willis, gardar, vagoth: VGA, 1280x1024, I think.... | 00:03 |
| koolkat | what does the error "No application is registered as handling this file" mean when trying to open an external hdd? | 00:03 |
| * erUSUL but we are offtopic... | 00:03 | |
| * gartral highfives erUSUL | 00:03 | |
| Dr_Willis | heh - i run these AV apps in virtualbox to check downloads befor i try them on the real machines. | 00:03 |
| User9927 | koolkat > Is anything (such as a pre-installed Windows program) set to autorun on the hard drive? That can cause problems if Ubuntu recognizes the autorun script,and tries to load an .exe file. It happened to me once. | 00:03 |
| Dr_Willis | xjunior: if you can use a dvi connector then do so.. it works a lot better. | 00:03 |
| hoeq^ | Hello guys, I have a bit of a problem. Sometimes most of the open windows freeze and remain that way for about 2 minutes at a time. When this happens it happens to many apps at the same time, and the computer practically becomes unusable during... I am using Jaunty 64 bits, anyone who has a clue about what the source of the problem might be? | 00:04 |
| xjunior | Dr_Willis, I can't =/ | 00:04 |
| vagoth | Dr_Willis: I test suspicious downloads in an XP VM xD | 00:04 |
| Dr_Willis | vagoth: yep :) thats what i do. | 00:04 |
| MOUD | I'll give Comodo a try then Avira if it doesn't do the job | 00:04 |
| * erUSUL ack's gartral | 00:04 | |
| Stealth_ | infomomo: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/341363 | 00:04 |
| Dr_Willis | scary. running xp in a vm and having 7+ av apps installed | 00:04 |
| vagoth | only a fool would do otherwise ;p | 00:04 |
| MOUD | I know it's offtopic but... What's the best program that removes those autorun virus? They have stopped my TaskManager and Registry from opening. | 00:05 |
| Dark_Wolf | hoeq^, perhaps you are running too many applications? | 00:05 |
| alankila_ | hoeq^: rogue application allocating all the memory? If the disk is swapping like mad then that's likely the cause. Kernel eventually kills it, but it usually takes a few minutes of intense disk swapping. | 00:05 |
| koolkat | User9927: I think I remember formatting the hdd in linux | 00:05 |
| vagoth | MOUD: My favorite viruses, use a 3rd party task manager | 00:05 |
| danbhfive | MOUD: whats worked best for me is to run kaspersky from linux | 00:05 |
| infomomo | Stealth_: thanks bro | 00:05 |
| xjunior | any idea? | 00:05 |
| vagoth | and there is awlys that too | 00:05 |
| User9927 | koolkat > Okay. What sort of filesystem did you format it with? If necessary (and if the disk is blank), you can go into a partitioning program and see if it detects it. | 00:05 |
| MOUD | vagoth: agree -.- | 00:06 |
| Cyberish | hey can sombody help me installing CeGCC ? | 00:06 |
| hoeq^ | Dark_Wolf: I am currently using 28% of the memory, and this amount of applications isn't usually a problem at all. | 00:06 |
| Techie-Micheal | I'm trying to write a simple bash script that pauses like Windows pause batch command. I'm doing read -n 1 -s and it works on the shell, but when I stick it in a .sh file, it tells me -n is an invalid option. | 00:06 |
| vagoth | Ubuntu seems nice at cross-compiling | 00:06 |
| hoeq^ | alankila_: maybe it's the diskswapping. | 00:06 |
| erUSUL | Cyberish: what is CeGCC ? | 00:06 |
| Techie-Micheal | Ideas? Google agrees that what I'm doing is correct. | 00:06 |
| hoeq^ | Do you have an idea how to fix it? | 00:06 |
| Dark_Wolf | hoeq^, do you happen to have Intel graphics? | 00:06 |
| hoeq^ | Dark_Wolf: nvidia 7900GT | 00:06 |
| Dark_Wolf | mmkay | 00:06 |
| Dark_Wolf | Because Intel has issues on Ubuntu | 00:06 |
| Dr_Willis | Techie-Micheal: be syre you are using #!/bin/bash if you mean to use bash, not #!/bin/sh | 00:07 |
| alankila_ | hoeq^: next time it happens, try to get a terminal open and run top, or use a GUI tool called gnome-system-monitor | 00:07 |
| Techie-Micheal | Dr_Willis: I've tried both, actually. :/ | 00:07 |
| vagoth | I'll prolly see yas in 30 minutes | 00:07 |
| vagoth | power-nap | 00:07 |
| undifined | hoeq^: maybe on-access clamav ? | 00:07 |
| kunji | User9927: on that site, in the 4th command line box I'll need to change /dev/sda to my partition right, will I need to change the part that says partitions 2 ? | 00:07 |
| erUSUL | Techie-Micheal: sleep ? | 00:07 |
| Cyberish | erUSUL: its for developing native pocke pc apps | 00:07 |
| infomomo | Stealth_: Cannot repair right ? | 00:07 |
| Techie-Micheal | erUSUL: Yeah, but I need the "press any key ..." prompt instead of just sleeping. | 00:08 |
| joaopinto | Techie-Micheal, is your .sh file using bah on the interpreter description ? | 00:08 |
| alankila_ | you should see some application using both CPU and lots of RAM, so that's the likely culprit. If you can't see anything unusual in the listing, then one has to look elsewhere. Perhaps your disk controller has a problem and causes disk to reset for a long time. Use a command called dmesg to see system log entries, perhaps there is something. | 00:08 |
| joaopinto | read is shell dependent | 00:08 |
| hoeq^ | alankila_: gnome-system-monitor is the same as the one I can access from the main menu, right? | 00:08 |
| joaopinto | bash | 00:08 |
| Techie-Micheal | joaopinto: Yes. I've done #!/usr/bin/env bash, #!/bin/bash, #!/bin/sh, #!/usr/bin/env sh | 00:08 |
| mikegerwitz | Techie-Michael: using #!/bin/sh gives the error: "ead: 3: Illegal option -n", but using #!/bin/bash works for me | 00:09 |
| joaopinto | Techie-Micheal, if you are using a bash sspecific command, it must start with #!/bin/bash | 00:09 |
| Dr_Willis | Techie-Micheal: it works with 'bash' and if i do -n1 here. | 00:09 |
| alankila_ | hoeq: I'm not sure how it's started usually, but the application opens a window entitled "System Monitor" with 4 tabs, System, Processes, Resources, File Systems. | 00:09 |
| causasui | hello, does anyone know a good way to stop new windows from stealing focus while i'm typing? | 00:09 |
| hoeq^ | ah, I think that's the one | 00:09 |
| alankila_ | I have a little monitoring widget in the task bar and I get that when I click on it. Perhaps it's stuffed somewhere in the menus as well. | 00:09 |
| Stealth_ | infomomo: post #31 says it disappeared after he upgraded to kernel 2.6.30-rc3 | 00:09 |
| Techie-Micheal | mikegerwitz: That's the exact error I'm getting, but I have tried both. :/ | 00:09 |
| joaopinto | Techie-Micheal, trying random guesses does not help, you really need to understand what you are setting :) | 00:09 |
| hoeq^ | undifined: sry, I am unfamiliar with that, care to describe more? | 00:09 |
| alankila_ | can't see where, though | 00:09 |
| User9927 | kunji > I honestly have no idea. I've only ever set up clean disks on VirtualBox, otherwise I'd tell you myself instead of directing you to that site. :-) | 00:10 |
| mikegerwitz | How are you running it? | 00:10 |
| Techie-Micheal | joaopinto: It wasn't random at first. ;) | 00:10 |
| Dr_Willis | Techie-Micheal: #!/bin/bash read -n1 -s works for me.. | 00:10 |
| mikegerwitz | Are you typing "sh script.sh", or "./script.sh" | 00:10 |
| Dr_Willis | Techie-Micheal: and make it executable, and ./command.sh | 00:10 |
| p1oooop | wjb still in here? | 00:10 |
| Techie-Micheal | Dr_Willis: Doh, that'll probably help. :P | 00:10 |
| timitheos | hello all | 00:10 |
| infomomo | Stealth_: Thanks brother, maybe i should upgrade to a more recent kernel... uname -a = Linux x203w 2.6.28-14-generic #47-Ubuntu SMP Sat Jul 25 00:28:35 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux | 00:10 |
| xjunior | I bought a new LCD Monitor, but Ubuntu is detecting it with a max resolution of 1024x768 (no, it's not wide). I want it to use 1280x1024. How do I change it? | 00:10 |
| Dr_Willis | Techie-Micheal: if you do sh whatever.. well its going to use 'sh' not bash. :) | 00:11 |
| Techie-Micheal | yeah, blonde moment. ^_^ | 00:11 |
| causasui | xjunior: System->Preferences->Display | 00:11 |
| causasui | does anyone know a good way to stop new windows from stealing focus while i'm typing? | 00:11 |
| alankila_ | xjunior: the usual checklist is: 1) do you have X using the right video driver and not some VGA abortion that limits resolution down; 2) use program called xrandr to see what resolutions are available; 3) try changing the resolution in gnome if there's the one you want | 00:11 |
| xjunior | causasui, 1024x768 is the max available | 00:11 |
| Techie-Micheal | Thanks for the help. :) | 00:11 |
| causasui | xjunior: Then look at what alankila_ said | 00:11 |
| timitheos | so, anyone know where I can get ATI drivers that work? | 00:12 |
| hoeq^ | alankila_: When I think about it, I have reason to believe it has something to do with the hard drives. | 00:12 |
| alankila_ | to answer 1) read the output from /var/log/Xorg.log and try to identify which video driver it chose and if that looks like the right one | 00:12 |
| xjunior | alankila_, xrandr detects 1280x1024 | 00:12 |
| User9927 | kunji > I need to get going, but here's a walkthrough that I found of how to set up Windows 7 (a clean install) on VirtualBox. http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9127980/Take_Windows_7_for_a_spin_with_VirtualBox | 00:12 |
| hoeq^ | I have had problems with my disks before, but not like this. | 00:12 |
| alankila_ | xjunior: ok, so if you do "xrandr -s 0" does it change resolution? | 00:12 |
| xjunior | alankila_, where to change the resolution in gnome? | 00:12 |
| mistermatt | what version of perl does ubuntu 9.x ship with | 00:12 |
| xjunior | alankila_, yes! it did :D | 00:13 |
| alankila_ | xjunior: I had hoped it's that Prefs/Display thing | 00:13 |
| kunji | User9927: Thanks, I'm gonna try it.... I'll let you know how it turns out. | 00:13 |
| Dr_Willis | mistermatt: This is perl, v5.10.0 built for x86_64-linux-gnu-thread-multi | 00:13 |
| xjunior | alankila_, but in prefs/display there isn't the desired resolution | 00:13 |
| alankila_ | xjunior: I suspect you have a xorg.conf in /etc/X11 that has some resolutions explicitly configured there. Can you take a look there, maybe add "1280x1024" there, or something if so | 00:13 |
| alankila_ | usually xorg.conf is completely empty these days | 00:13 |
| Stealth_ | infomomo: you have the same errors just before the restart, but nobody else in that bug had the restarting problem | 00:14 |
| jiohdi | I installed skype ... sound not working... went to package mngr and its not listed... whats going on? | 00:14 |
| infomomo | Stealth_: well, i forced the restart with Power button... and one of the last restarts was intentional i think | 00:15 |
| lobster_ | jiohdi: skypeoptions > audiooptions | 00:15 |
| lobster_ | jiohdi: then change device | 00:15 |
| jiohdi | chng to what? | 00:15 |
| xjunior | alankila_, really there is a xorg.conf, but no resolutions specified. I think I found the problem. The default behavior when I plug a external monitor is to mirror the screens, ans since my monitor isn't wide (while my notebook is), gnome is blocking me to use 1280x1024. If I disable mirror screens then I get 1280x1024 available :D | 00:15 |
| lobster_ | an other device | 00:15 |
| joaopinto | jiohdi, the output device should be set to pulseaudio, the input you your hw device | 00:15 |
| xjunior | the question now is: how do I change this default behavior? | 00:16 |
| lobster_ | jiohdi: simply try every out | 00:16 |
| alankila_ | xjunior: ok, so no problem actually then. | 00:16 |
| infomomo | Stealth_: do you know if there is a latest stable kernel in there for us ubuntu users ? http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ | 00:16 |
| Pvpeter | My hamachi can't login! Its not a firewall thing since I uninstalled iptables together with ufw.. Anyone have any ideas? | 00:16 |
| infomomo | Stealth_: maybe 2.6.30 ? | 00:16 |
| timitheos | I tried using installing the proprietary drivers but they don't seem to work. | 00:16 |
| timedroid | How do I add Google search to Firefox 3.5? | 00:16 |
| MOUD | how do I use clamscan to scan all the folders and subfolders of my /media/disk/ ? | 00:16 |
| KB1JWQ | MOUD: man clamscan | 00:17 |
| xjunior | thank you alankila_ | 00:17 |
| timitheos | does anyone know where I can find good open source drivers? | 00:17 |
| Sandlebar | I'm trying to recover data off of a dying laptop, how can I do this quickly ? I'm running ubuntu off of USB, have the dying HDD in an enclosure, and the new HDD in the laptop (HDDs are NTFS). don't want to clean the internal hard drive, I'd rather try and make it image the old hard drive as a folder, you know? | 00:17 |
| MyNameIsLuca | MOUD: clamscan --help | 00:17 |
| vavar | how can i use screen inside screen? | 00:17 |
| MOUD | KB1JWQ, MyNameIsLuca: I was doing that but I though that it would be easier asking. Thanks | 00:18 |
| MyNameIsLuca | Sandlebar: You want to get a HD-Docking-Bay | 00:18 |
| joaopinto | Snadder, man ntfsclone | 00:18 |
| joaopinto | ops, was for Sandlebar | 00:18 |
| erUSUL | vavar: you run screen on one of the screen windows | 00:18 |
| Sandlebar | MyNameIsLuca: Bought one, the old hard drive is in there | 00:18 |
| alankila_ | Sandlebar: two methods. Don't know which will work better. 1) image the partition with dd to a larger disk where there is enough space like dd if=/dev/sdh9 of=diskimage; this then copies the bytes if successful, but can take a long time on disk errors | 00:18 |
| Dr_Willis | vavar: i doubt if thats going to be very useable if possible. | 00:18 |
| Dark_Wolf | Why does Ubuntu not like to boot in virtual machines? | 00:18 |
| erUSUL | vavar: but that will lead to insanity ;) | 00:18 |
| timitheos | can anyone help? | 00:18 |
| MyNameIsLuca | Sandlebar: Itll connect your other helthy computer with the hd so that you can copy whatever you like | 00:18 |
| alankila_ | the second method is: mount the filesystem and perform a file copy to new disk | 00:18 |
| vavar | erUSUL: the key combinations only reach the foremost screen | 00:18 |
| Dr_Willis | Dark_Wolf: i have no issues using it in virtualbox. | 00:18 |
| MyNameIsLuca | Sandlebar: Nice! | 00:18 |
| erUSUL | vavar: true not thought of that... | 00:19 |
| Dark_Wolf | Dr_Willis, it won't get to the splash in MS Virtual PC, and takes forever in QEMU | 00:19 |
| MyNameIsLuca | np MOUD | 00:19 |
| Dr_Willis | Dark_Wolf: i have no issues using it in virtualbox..... no idea on the others. | 00:19 |
| alankila_ | Anyway, the dd method is appropriate when normal operations like mounting the device could damage it, for instance if you deleted a lot of files and now want to rescue them (lots of manual work) you probably start by making a dd image to keep the state of the disk intact. | 00:19 |
| Sandlebar | alankila_: problem is the new hard drive does have data and I'd rather not have to erase it. any way to copy the data into a subfolder? or create an image in the subfolder? | 00:19 |
| Dr_Willis | Dark_Wolf: you are using 9.04 or 9.10 ? | 00:19 |
| Dark_Wolf | 9.04 | 00:20 |
| alankila_ | Sadsee the ways to use the mount command. I think it's the best tool in this case. | 00:20 |
| erUSUL | Dark_Wolf: qemu without the kqemu modules is too slow for anything... | 00:20 |
| === UNFORGiVEN512 is now known as unforgiven512-aw | ||
| alankila_ | you mount the broken disk somewhere in the virtual file system and then cp -rav or something the files off that mount point to somewhere else. | 00:20 |
| timedroid | Seems pretty silly to not call Firefox 3.5 Firefox | 00:21 |
| alankila_ | I typically make a directory under /mnt and mount disks there, but modern ubuntus tend to just mount stuff when you plug them in and in that case you find /media/something usually already holding that disk | 00:21 |
| Pvpeter | My hamachi can't login, this is the debug output: http://pastebin.com/m683e7152 | 00:21 |
| vavar | that's a practical problem.. screen is running remote.. and local.. so i have 2 sessions and i can only reach the first. i don't think that i am the first who had that problem. and it's hard to google 2 times the same word ;) | 00:21 |
| Stealth_ | infomomo: i don't know which one, sorry | 00:21 |
| alankila_ | depending on if you have these automounting strategies you either mount yourself or let the system mount it. Not much more to it. | 00:21 |
| Sandlebar | alankilla_: so what's the best way to do this? | 00:21 |
| erUSUL | timedroid: not if you already have a firefox installed (3.0) by default | 00:21 |
| MOUD | I am currently downloading the file "main.cvd" for clamav, where do I put the file to automatically load the virus database? | 00:21 |
| alankila_ | Sandlebar: somehow I am not getting through to you. You just do "mount" and "cp". | 00:21 |
| vavar | ideas anyone? | 00:21 |
| Sandlebar | alankilla_: not a native english speaker, not a an experienced ubuntu user either =/ | 00:22 |
| Sandlebar | there's a problem, though, Documents and Settings shows as blank on both hard drives | 00:22 |
| Sandlebar | 0 files. why isn't it showing? | 00:22 |
| timedroid | erUSUL, Seems pretty silly to not have Firefox 3.5 replace 3.0 as well. | 00:22 |
| MyNameIsLuca | I Love Ubuntu. | 00:22 |
| infomomo | Stealth_: thanks brother | 00:23 |
| erUSUL | !newest | timedroid | 00:23 |
| ubottu | timedroid: 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. | 00:23 |
| Dr_Willis | MOUD: i use the 'freshclam' command and let the program update itself.. much easier. | 00:23 |
| infomomo | Stealth_: have a nice day | 00:23 |
| alankila_ | I'm not a native either, but I guess I've been playing linux for well over 10 years now. Anyway, you need to learn about mounting and the virtual file system (vfs). Use the command mount to see if the device you need is alreaddy mounted. If not, learn how to mount it. | 00:23 |
| MyNameIsLuca | Well done. | 00:23 |
| Stealth_ | infomomo: most certain thing i can think of is disabling intel graphics drivers | 00:23 |
| timitheos | i have a logitech USB headset with mic. anyone know where i can get drivers for it? | 00:23 |
| MOUD | Dr_Willis: I did it, it downloaded around 20MB but when I type clamscan it says that my virus database is older than 7 dats | 00:23 |
| Sandlebar | alankilla_: I know how to mount, though. but the device is somewhat dying so I'm really lost here | 00:23 |
| alankila_ | Sandlebar: well is it mountable or not? | 00:24 |
| Sandlebar | alankilla_: it's mountable | 00:24 |
| alankila_ | ok, just mount it, then cp -rav all files you deem important. | 00:24 |
| infomomo | Stealth_: do we know how ? | 00:24 |
| timitheos | anyone? | 00:24 |
| === Randy is now known as Guest14622 | ||
| infomomo | timitheos: are you sure you need drivers ? | 00:25 |
| erUSUL | Sandlebar: if its dying use gnu ddrescue to make an image of it as fast as you can... then work on that image to rescue the data ... | 00:25 |
| Sandlebar | can I make an iso with gnu ddrescue and save it on the internal drive? | 00:25 |
| Sandlebar | or will it make a full copy? | 00:25 |
| ryanakca | What do I need to setup on "Wireless desktop 1" so that "Desktop 3" and it can talk to each other? http://pastebin.ca/1525787 | 00:25 |
| Dark_Wolf | Dr_Willis, virtualbox isn't really an option on dialup. | 00:25 |
| erUSUL | Sandlebar: it will do a full copy byte by byte that's the point of the tool. | 00:26 |
| Sandlebar | erSUL: so it'll blank the hard drive? I need something that won't do that though | 00:26 |
| MOUD | *days | 00:26 |
| Sandlebar | like that will make a byte by byte copy but in a directory | 00:26 |
| timitheos | I know the sound doesn't work and when I go to System>Preferances>Sound and try to test the sound I hear nothing. | 00:26 |
| Sandlebar | like not the root of the device | 00:26 |
| erUSUL | Sandlebar: what drive ? | 00:26 |
| jiohdi | joaopinto, pulse worked for output but nothing seems to work for input | 00:26 |
| alankila_ | erUSUL: this is where you and me differ. The ddrescue will perform a "thorough stress test" on the device due to copying the entire device. It might be better just to copy the data using the filesystem. I have had disk permanently fail trying to dd it, so this is not entirely idle talk. | 00:26 |
| jiohdi | skype that is | 00:27 |
| MOUD | Dr_Willis: I rerun the freshclam again, it needed a 200KB file downloaded, it's working now. Thanks | 00:27 |
| erUSUL | Sandlebar: it will make an image *file* | 00:27 |
| maco | jiohdi: if youre trying to use the mic on your laptop's screen, those are broken almost universally | 00:27 |
| Sandlebar | ok, problem is, documents and settings isn't displaying | 00:27 |
| alankila_ | had I attempted to just copy the files I might have had better success ratio. | 00:27 |
| Sandlebar | ok, so where will it save by default? what's the command to run, and can you specify a place for the ISO? | 00:27 |
| jiohdi | maco-- so a plug in is the only option? | 00:27 |
| maco | jiohdi: yes | 00:27 |
| timitheos | so, what can I do? | 00:28 |
| alankila_ | Sandlebar: there are more kind of disk images than just ISO. The output of ddrescue is a byte-by-byte representation of the disk, so it has the filesystem you currently have on the disk. | 00:28 |
| maco | jiohdi: at least if it's an HDA sound card | 00:28 |
| kerm|t | why might this app not render correctly in wine? its a pretty simple app, but its images are rendering wrong. | 00:28 |
| erUSUL | alankila_: a fair point. Sandlebar is the one that has to ponder the issues and make a decission... he says that he can not see the files in the mounted filesystem though | 00:28 |
| jiohdi | the mic used to work.... | 00:28 |
| priapus | what is going on if i can use internet on one of the computers behind a nat, but not from the computer that is running the nat server? Its not possible to ping in either direction behind the nat server. But the client behind the nat can ping all external ip:s | 00:28 |
| alankila_ | erUSUL: oh. Missed that. In that case my cp approach is pointless. :-/ | 00:28 |
| jiohdi | maco its an acer dont no what they use | 00:28 |
| === Someone67_ is now known as Someone67 | ||
| maco | jiohdi: the screen mic is broken in jaunty for most HDA cards because upstream rewrote that chunk and the change was incomplete. | 00:28 |
| Sandlebar | I can see everything but Documents and Settings, it's an empty folder. vista/ntfs btw | 00:29 |
| maco | jiohdi: most cheap sound cards are hda. other options would be like...a creative sound blaster, but those arent very cheap | 00:29 |

| kerm|t | MyNameIsLuca: huh? | 00:29 |
| timitheos | ? | 00:29 |
| alankila_ | erUSUL: yeah I ignored that talk because I couldn't place it in the context of "rescuing linux distribution". Didn't realize we are trying to save win32. | 00:29 |
| Sandlebar | alex88: look up unetbootin | 00:29 |
| jiohdi | maco why wont skype show up in program mngr for installed? | 00:30 |
| alex88 | i've used the ubuntu utility | 00:30 |
| maco | jiohdi: program manager? | 00:30 |
| MyNameIsLuca | kerm|t: Best game this summer. Works perfectly under wine | 00:30 |
| timedroid | Sandlebar, That's some sort of symlink in Vista, doesn't work very well. It's just Documents | 00:30 |
| jiohdi | add/remove | 00:30 |
| Stealth_ | infomomo: no, sorry | 00:30 |
| erUSUL | causasui: somewhere hiding in gconf-editor the settings for that can be found... probably under apps>metacity | 00:30 |
| alex88 | Sandlebar: i've used the ubuntu utility, with the cd inserted... but my acer aspire one doesn't boot from usb | 00:30 |
| causasui | erUSUL: Does it matter that I use compiz? | 00:30 |
| maco | alex88: note that not all motherboards will willingly boot from usb, so if your test is failing that could be why | 00:30 |
| timedroid | Sandlebar, Sorry, I mean the folder is normally c:\users | 00:30 |
| timitheos | so what can I do for drivers? | 00:30 |
| erUSUL | causasui: really dunno check there and in ccsm | 00:30 |
| maco | jiohdi: depends how you installed it probably | 00:30 |
| alex88 | maco: i press f12 to select boot devices, and it can let me select the usb stick | 00:31 |
| Sandlebar | alex88: most devices should boot usb, try to open the bios menu or hold down f12 (on my inspiron laptop) when you're booting | 00:31 |

| maco | jiohdi: could open a terminal and type "sudo apt-get remove skype" if you want to uninstall it | 00:31 |
| timitheos | for a Logitech USB headphone/microphone? | 00:31 |
| maco | alex88: i have 2 laptops that will boot from usb ONLY if the usb is an external hard drive. if it's a flash drive, they fail | 00:31 |
| alex88 | Sandlebar: done that, selected usb, but stil booted windows, i'm with an acer aspire one so only usb | 00:31 |
| MyNameIsLuca | kerm|t: Trust the trumpet | 00:31 |
| causasui | erUSUL: I'll ask in #compiz, htanks | 00:32 |
| mistermatt | is thetre anything like activeperl's package manager on ubuntu? | 00:32 |
| mistermatt | there* | 00:32 |
| Sandlebar | alex88: you sure you prepared it properly? does it look like ubuntu's structure on the flash drive when mounted? | 00:32 |
| maco | timitheos: join me in #ubuntu-audio-help | 00:32 |
| Sandlebar | ok so it's "preparing to copy X,000 files..." what happens if a file is corrupted? will I know now or later? | 00:33 |
| Sandlebar | and will it kill the process or skip the bad file? | 00:33 |
| alankila_ | mistermatt: packages are installed with apt-get when available. The format is, Foo::Bar is typically packaged in libfoo-bar-perl, so look for something like that. Failing that, just do "perl -MCPAN -e shell" and install locally. | 00:33 |

| DopeGhoti | priapus: and which PC is working, and which is not? | 00:44 |
| DopeGhoti | Lam_: ssh user@host command arguments | 00:45 |
| MOUD | test... ping | 00:45 |
| Lam_ | DopeGhoti: right. i do that and then ssh exits dropping me back into my local terminal | 00:45 |
| priapus | DopeGhoti: one of the pc:s behind the wifi bridge is working | 00:45 |
| DopeGhoti | Lam_: what exactly are you trying to do? | 00:45 |
| bdfoster | Lam_, ssh -l USERNAME IPADDRESS | 00:45 |
| DopeGhoti | priapus: and the ubuntu machine is not? What are the IP addresses of the two machines? | 00:45 |
| Lam_ | DopeGhoti: ssh into a remote terminal, run a cd command, and have it show me the remote terminal prompt. using what you had, it does the first two, but exits afterwards | 00:46 |
| dare | are you sure you're in local? | 00:46 |
| ace_ | bdfoster: I can't find it but I pasted the results from lspci http://www.past.ubuntu.com/251663/ | 00:46 |
| DopeGhoti | Lam_: just use ssh user@host and you'll be at a prompt | 00:46 |
| Lam_ | DopeGhoti: okay i guess i have no other option. the cd path is pretty long. i suppose i can just make a link | 00:47 |
| priapus | DopeGhoti: correct. i get a dhcp adress from the router for the ubuntu nat eth0 192.168.0.69. And eth1 is configured to 10.42.43.1 | 00:47 |
| ace_ | bdfoster: oops, I typed it in and forget the e in paste http://www.paste.ubuntu.com/251663/ | 00:47 |
| DopeGhoti | Lam_: you can symlink it, or make an environment variable with the path in your profile, and then you can just 'cd $PROGRAMPATH' | 00:47 |
| Lam_ | DopeGhoti: good idea. thanks | 00:48 |
| bdfoster | ace_, looking | 00:48 |
| priapus | DopeGhoti: the machine that have access to internet has 10.42.42.12 from the ubuntu nat | 00:48 |
| DopeGhoti | Lam_: for example, if you want to go to /usr/local/path/to/some/obscure/place, just set PLACE=/usr/local/path/to/some/obscure/place in your .profile, and then cd $PLACE will work :) | 00:48 |
| bdfoster | second one is still a bad link | 00:48 |

| wgl | I have used the upgrade option to bring my boxes to 8,04 LTS. Since 9 is now out and mainstream, I am wondering if there will appear an "upgrade" button on the update tool as well, or if that is a separate update path. | 00:52 |
| bdfoster | ace_, is it enabled in bios and everything? | 00:52 |

| bdfoster | ok | 00:52 |
| devil_ | dopeghoti:at 4th stage | 00:52 |
| DopeGhoti | wgl: if you wanto to upgrage to 9.04, you have to upgrade to 8.10 first; there is no direct 8.04 → 9.04 path | 00:53 |
| DopeGhoti | devil_: are you sure that you do not have any CDs or USB drive the system is trying to boot form? | 00:53 |
| wgl | Dopeghoti: so that would involve a CD install, rather than installing packages online with the update tool? | 00:53 |
| devil_ | dopeghoti:it is coming after when partionter start | 00:54 |
| xim_ | using apt-get, can you combine the options: -f and autoremove? | 00:54 |
| MyNameIsLuca | wgl: Enable upgrade [x]. Do upgrade [x]. Be upgraded [x]. Seems like a solid process, dont you think ? | 00:54 |
| DopeGhoti | wgl: you *should* be able to use the GUI tool to upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 | 00:54 |
| xim_ | im not exactly sure the difference so I cant test it | 00:54 |
| DopeGhoti | wgl: once that's done, you should then be able to go from 8.10 to 9.04 | 00:54 |
| wgl | Dopeghoti: Ok, will dig further. from 7.10 to 8.04, there was a button on the upgrade tool gui, but no longer. | 00:54 |
| DopeGhoti | devil_: So you are still in the installation process, or did it finish? | 00:54 |
| devil_ | dopeghoti:i am sure that it is not booting up anywhere else except the cd i am keeping in my drive for installation | 00:54 |
| MyNameIsLuca | wgl: I think the Do upgrade [x]. Should be included in the update gui though | 00:55 |
| devil_ | dopeghoti:i am on live cd i am in the process | 00:55 |
| DopeGhoti | wgl: hmm.. at the command-line, you could try sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade; sudo do-release-upgrade | 00:55 |
| wgl | Dopeghoti: Thanks, I will give that a try. Just been doing it from the gui so far. | 00:55 |

| Sandlebar | ok so seriously why is my transfer like unwinding? | 01:08 |
| Cyberish | what does that mean | 01:08 |
| Porkative | hehe | 01:08 |
| pilif | Help! | 01:08 |
| Sandlebar | does it mean I've just got fewer files left or something? | 01:08 |
| hausha | Porkative, the command I run works when I execute from shell, but it's a startup script, and I think it fails due to some wierd stuff, and not my code | 01:08 |
| bdfoster | pilif, look closely, might be a serial port | 01:09 |
| pilif | I hooked it up | 01:09 |
| pilif | and it works, kind of | 01:09 |
| mistermatt | anyone? how do I adjust screen size | 01:09 |
| Porkative | hausha: pastebin your script | 01:09 |
| bdfoster | so the resolution is off? | 01:09 |
| pilif | mistermatt has my same question | 01:09 |
| mistermatt | I just want to adjust my screen resolution | 01:10 |
| pilif | So do i, kind of | 01:10 |
| hausha | Porkative, here it is: http://pastebin.com/d4d3f7745 | 01:10 |
| bdfoster | system>preferences>display | 01:10 |
| bdfoster | both you guys | 01:11 |
| pilif | So, i have a 9 inch netbook, there are 2 little bars on each end of the screen. How do i fix that | 01:11 |
| Dr_Willis | mistermatt: lik bdfoster said.. or the xrandr tools. | 01:11 |
| cllaudyu | hello... I want to know if i can run gyache on windows? I have a problem installing ubuntu and i need to have this app... | 01:11 |
| Dr_Willis | pilif: clarify what you mean. | 01:11 |
| Dr_Willis | cllaudyu: check the gyache homepage for a windows port? | 01:11 |
| bdfoster | pilif, could be a cable issue | 01:11 |
| cllaudyu | it isnt | 01:11 |
| ulb | I am having a problem with nautilus...I cannot use the letter "t" as a normal user. As root, everything is fine, and "t" works in all other applications. Any ideas? | 01:11 |
| Porkative | hausha: Startup script that converts movies ? | 01:11 |
| ulb | also, capital "T" works just fine | 01:11 |
| bdfoster | ulb, nautilus is root | 01:12 |
| hausha | Porkative, yea... it's part of a cloud computing grid, convert then shutdown | 01:12 |
| cala | hello | 01:12 |
| cllaudyu | i found some virtual machines but i cant seem to get them to work... | 01:12 |
| Dr_Willis | ulb: add a new user see if it affects them? could be some weird keyboard layout setting. | 01:12 |
| Porkative | hausha: why not on command ? | 01:12 |
| hausha | Porkative, what do you mean? | 01:12 |
| Porkative | hausha: Press a button, Done! | 01:13 |
| Porkative | hausha: Or a timed action | 01:13 |
| hausha | Porkative, cheaper, supports 100 convertings simultaniously | 01:13 |
| cllaudyu | is any one familiar to xming? i hear that this makes any linux soft to work on windows but i can't get it to do that for me... | 01:13 |
| hausha | excuse my english btw | 01:13 |
| bdfoster | cllaudyu, uh, linux is better lol | 01:13 |
| Dr_Willis | cllaudyu: thats not what it 'does' its a X server for widno2ws. it allows you to have Xapplications 'appear' on the windows machine. | 01:13 |
| cllaudyu | and how do i do that? | 01:14 |
| hausha | Porkative, it works fine, but added some new features to integrity of files, and this stops it... | 01:14 |
| cllaudyu | to make gyache appear on windows | 01:14 |
| Porkative | hausha: I know how to do this, but im beat atm. Coding wise | 01:14 |
| cllaudyu | for example... | 01:14 |
| Dr_Willis | cllaudyu: i install xming on the windows box.. use its wizards/tools i connect to the local lan linux box and get a gnome-terminal going, that appears on the windows machines desktop (for example) | 01:14 |
| Dr_Willis | cllaudyu: the program is RUNNING on the linux box. it 'displays' on the X server on teh windows box. | 01:14 |
| hausha | Porkative, np :) | 01:14 |
| Dr_Willis | cllaudyu: same as if you had 2 linux box's and did a 'ssh -X remotelinuxbox' and ran an app. | 01:15 |
| bdfoster | kinda like sshing except the windows way | 01:15 |
| Dr_Willis | xming/can/(is) using ssh also. :) | 01:15 |
| Porkative | hausha: this is me, relaxing :) ... One meter from the river. Its awesome. | 01:15 |
| Dr_Willis | you can set up putty.exe where you connect to the linux box and run apps. they appear on windows box. | 01:15 |
| hausha | Porkative, I'm happy for you. It's 2 in the night here and I need a beer | 01:16 |
| hausha | Porkative, havn't got the fax yet | 01:16 |
| Porkative | hausha: 02:17 ? :) | 01:16 |
| Porkative | hausha: fett som fään | 01:16 |
| cllaudyu | k thanks... but i'm too noob on this one... so it will be dificult for me to do every single thing... | 01:16 |
| hausha | Porkative, can you see the river ? too dark isn't it | 01:17 |
| hausha | lol | 01:17 |

| apoleo12 | how do I have more than tty6? | 01:17 |
| Dr_Willis | ulb: gnome keyboard settings. | 01:18 |
| jasondelane1 | Hello, I'm new to ubuntu and I'm trying to install an nvidia vid card into my old comp, but can't seem to get it to switch over to the new card | 01:18 |
| jasondelane1 | any ideas | 01:18 |
| Dr_Willis | jasondelane1: clarify 'how' you are trying to install an nvidia card. | 01:19 |
| bdfoster | disable the onboard one? | 01:19 |
| a_ham_sandwitch | delete the old drivers and install the new ones | 01:19 |
| jasondelane1 | I went to system/admin/hardware drivers and followed the prompts | 01:19 |
| jasondelane1 | when I went to reboot, the comp is still loading old intel card | 01:19 |
| ulb | Dr_Willis: generic 105 key, layout is set to USA | 01:19 |
| jasondelane1 | how do you delete the old drivers | 01:20 |
| apoleo12 | I see that there are more than enough ttyN but how to enable them? | 01:20 |
| bdfoster | jasondelane1, is it onboard? | 01:20 |
| kaddi | hi, I can't change the brightness of my desktop, I can change the settings all I want, but it doesn't change the actual brightness. Is there a workaround? | 01:20 |
| jasondelane1 | yeah, PCI | 01:20 |
| bdfoster | the intel card? | 01:20 |
| jasondelane1 | the intel card is onboard | 01:20 |
| jasondelane1 | nvidia card is pci | 01:20 |
| bdfoster | ok you have to disable it in bios | 01:20 |
| a_ham_sandwitch | could you not remove the drivers form your xorg conf | 01:20 |
| Dr_Willis | ulb: means very little to me. :) try diffent keyboard settings and see.. gnome kept forgetting my keyboard the other day.. not sure why it was doing it. | 01:21 |
| jasondelane1 | so go to bios, disable intel graphics and reboot | 01:21 |
| Dr_Willis | ulb: try one, see if it works, try another... | 01:21 |
| bdfoster | yup! | 01:21 |
| jasondelane1 | k | 01:21 |
| jasondelane1 | brb | 01:21 |
| Dr_Willis | ulb: or figure out what files contril the setting and perhaps delete it so gnome goes back to the default that the new user was using. | 01:21 |
| Porkative | Dr_Willis: Yes, the "contrils" :) | 01:22 |
| Dr_Willis | Porkative: windows answer would be to reformat/reinstall. :) | 01:22 |
| Porkative | Dr_Willis: Mohahaha!!! .. yeah, it would :) | 01:23 |

| jMyles | migg137: The risk is data loss. I've done it and been fine, but there is some risk. | 01:41 |
| kunji | migg137: you should be able to do this with gparted, but do so at your own risk (there's always a possibility of trouble when resizing partitions no matter what you use). Also do so from a live cd, not the installed linux. | 01:41 |
| Pici | dcosta: What do you mean by authenticate? | 01:41 |
| a_ham_sandwitch | @pici he means log in | 01:41 |
| dcosta | using linux user acounts | 01:42 |
| NoMS_ | migg137: data is spread throughout the entire disk. gparted tries to avoid these sections and expand the partition. If it doesn't work, you can loose lots of data, if not all of it... I have also done it, with no trouble. | 01:42 |

| TheSilentWarrior | alankila_, ok, so, i should install debfoster, and then theres an "export" function in it? or something in those lines, and then copy it over to my desktop, install debfoster and read it, then it will install everything for me? | 01:53 |
| a_ham_sandwitch | @whoneedszzz i believe its under properties when you right click the drive | 01:53 |

| VACSecured | i curently have xubuntu Xfce installed on my computer, and i am trying to swithch to ubuntu super OS using the program unetbootin and installing the ISO right on the hard drive. (i also tried this with mint linux and got the same error) i can get in the instalation menu and partition it, but when it starts to install i get and error that says it cannot unmount /cdrom please close all programs using it and try again. so i am no computer | 01:53 |
| VACSecured | 01:53 | |
| VACSecured | this is the exact error message: | 01:53 |
| VACSecured | failed to unmount partitions | 01:53 |
| trism | FloridaGuy: I don't know about only showing, but you can sort them all to the top by clicking the S column header | 01:53 |
| VACSecured | the installer needs to commit changes to partition tables, | 01:53 |
| a_ham_sandwitch | @yuril its under administration | 01:53 |
| VACSecured | but cannot do so because partitions on the following could | 01:53 |
| th0r | WhoNeedszzz: blkid | 01:53 |
| FloridaGuy | blackest_knight, that link opened good on my side | 01:53 |
| alankila_ | TheSilentWarrior: that is one strategy. The real reason why I suggest debfoster is that it comes up with the minimal set of packages to install that pulls in all the rest as dependencies. | 01:53 |
| Yuri1 | 'gpart' aint | 01:54 |
| Yuri1 | there | 01:54 |
| alankila_ | in truth, installing things tends to install more than the minimal set because apt has three classes of dependencies: Depends, Recommends, Suggests... | 01:54 |
| Yuri1 | do i need to install it? | 01:54 |
| a_ham_sandwitch | @yuril you may need to install it from add remove | 01:55 |
| Yuri1 | k | 01:55 |
| kunji | inx-mdg: It actually took me a long time to figure this out...despite that it's something stupidly simple. Boot from the live cd and go to install it like you would to the hard drive, make sure to select the usb drive when that option turns up (don't want to lose anything). Look out for an advanced options button during the install (it's on one of the pages, I forget which) and make sure to specify the usb drive as the place fo | 01:55 |
| a_ham_sandwitch | or use an ubuntu live cd | 01:55 |
| TheSilentWarrior | alankila_, oh, thats nice, but does it use apt-get ? or some external one, or how does it work? | 01:55 |
| migg137 | any good software for dvd ripping? I need one that compresses the files to fit a standard 4.7 gb dvd and maybe one that even make vcd's since i have alot of those.. thanks | 01:55 |
| blackest_knight | FloridaGuy: which firefox version are you using ? | 01:55 |
| alankila_ | I think it uses the apt library, so it works a lot like apt-get but doesn't probably use apt-get frontend. | 01:55 |
| FloridaGuy | trism, thats good enough....makes it easyer to see whats not needed | 01:55 |

| FloridaGuy | blackest_knight, 3.0.13 and opera 10 beta2 | 01:57 |
| ekevn | my install keeps hanging | 01:57 |
| kunji | Yuri1: It should already be there, in the menu it is called "partition editor" You DO NOT want to make any changes using it while running ubuntu from your hard drive. Run ubuntu from a live cd if your planning on making any changes to partitions, and remember changing partitions is always risky. | 01:57 |
| a_ham_sandwitch | what verson are you running | 01:57 |
| Dr_Willis | ekevn: if you want a server install disk.. yes it should work. | 01:57 |
| inx-mdg | kunji: so start live cd and start install, then make sure to choose my USB... | 01:57 |
| kunji | inx-mdg: Well 3 gigs are required for a persistent install (update-able), and then you want space for updates and all your documents, music, etc... | 02:03 |
| Dr_Willis | tvon: i like it. :) | 02:03 |
| alankila_ | it's somewhere in the desktop switcher to disable it. | 02:03 |
| inx-mdg | kunji: thanks for clarifying :) | 02:03 |
| migg137 | kunji, sorry to bother but can you repeat to my how i will do the partition thing again... to make it bigger, after i boot from the live cd, thanks | 02:03 |
| tvon | drives me nuts.. if I had to focus the desktop it would be one thing but I'm on a touch pad so my desktop goes nuts every now and then | 02:03 |
| alankila_ | tvon: yes, it's a bad idea. | 02:04 |
| kunji | Open Gparted, system>administration>partition editor | 02:04 |
| alankila_ | I have trouble even with mouse, because it's just too damn easy to accidentally scroll the desktop when you intended to scroll a document you were reading. | 02:05 |
| tvon | the touch trackpad is the real issue... has to be some way to filter that out | 02:05 |
| CaptainCrook | any web developper in here? | 02:05 |
| a_ham_sandwitch | @migg goto gparted and select the partition and extend and when finished hit save changes | 02:05 |
| SealedWithAKiss | CaptainCrook, croak to pain. | 02:05 |
| Dr_Willis | tvon: theres ways to disable the 'scroll' feature on many touchpads. depends on the touchpad | 02:05 |
| SealedWithAKiss | CaptainCrook, croak to panic * | 02:05 |

| SuperMiguel | Dr_Willis, thats my point.. I have a gaming system with 16gb of ram, quad cpu, 8hd in raid 0... Is there a way that i can use all that potential in linux?? | 02:27 |
| apoleo12 | Dr_Willis: I hate to bring this up again but, I've found the files I was looking for though i can't seem to get to work if I create a new file IE: tty12 in event.d directory along with rc12 according to the listings of this directory... | 02:27 |
| odinsbane | SuperMiguel: how do you use it in windows? | 02:27 |
| SuperMiguel | odinsbane, gaming.. | 02:28 |
| kunji | migg137: I don't strictly, I can rip them again, but I want my ubuntu to handle everything I can possibly make it handle. Few things are as annoying as getting a file and not being able to open it. | 02:28 |
| odinsbane | SuperMiguel: probably not | 02:28 |
| SuperMiguel | odinsbane, well it uses alot of it :) | 02:28 |

| koolkat | ever since I put on a external HDD, nautilus doesnt work whatsoever. When I try to open a folder, it used to give me an error: "Cannot open /folder/ No application is registered as handling this file [or application]". Now I installed dolphin and it opens the folders with that, but several items are missing including Network and Computer and I would like nautilus to work. | 02:29 |
| kunji | SuperMiguel: It depends what you need your ubuntu to do, I use mine for running huge simulations so I make full use of a 3.2 ghz quad core and 8 gigs of ram and still occasionally get out of memory errors. | 02:29 |
| cllaudyu | i am trying to fing the remastererd fluxbuntu bot every torrents i find are dead... | 02:30 |
| odinsbane | Okay I am trying to setup a samba server for a shared network drive. I am wondering what a good/concise page is. | 02:30 |

| migg137 | kunji, i would just go with ripping again... i mean if you want quality them just rip at a high bitrate i mean 320 is not that bad... i mean i used to rip my music to 96kbs for space but thank God not anymore | 02:31 |

| xim_ | im trying to download audio files (using WGET) of thie hindu vedas on this website www.gatewayforindia.com/vedas/vedas.html I am having trouble with the paramaters because this link links to another domain where the webhost is storing the audio files (digimedium.com/veda/*.mp3), so my parameters are only getting this one domain I think. Here is my command wget --recursive --no-clobber --page-requisites --html-extension --conver | 02:32 |
| xim_ | t-links --restrict-file-names=windows --no-parent http://www.gatewayforindia.com/vedas/vedas.html can anyone spot what i'm doing wrong? | 02:32 |
| FloodBot3 | xim_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 02:32 |
| Balaji | I think an auto updater had installed some Adobe Flash Installer | 02:32 |
| slhawkins | hello, anyone know a good amount about the gpl that feels like answering a couple questions? | 02:32 |
| b0nn | xim_: try curl :) | 02:32 |
| MySecondChoiceIS | curl sucks | 02:32 |
| xim_ | they make my arms tired | 02:33 |
| cllaudyu | any way i will burn another cd with fluxbuntu from its home page to check if it's the bootable one... if not... i'l burn ubuntu 9.04... | 02:33 |
| odinsbane | Balaji: if your using amd64, I recomend you uninstall the flash plugin and go download the 64bit one. | 02:33 |
| koolkat | ever since I put on a external HDD, nautilus doesnt work whatsoever. When I try to open a folder, it used to give me an error: "Cannot open /folder/ No application is registered as handling this file [or application]".

| SuperMiguel | kunji, what kind of simulations? | 02:33 |
| yan | she has a gril | 02:34 |
| danbhfive | cllaudyu: forget about fluxbuntu for now. I don't think there is a current release | 02:34 |
| apoleo12 | I take it that it's no bother having to enable more than 10 tty huh? | 02:34 |
| Dr_Willis | apoleo12: ive not messed with that in at least 2+ years. Id say check the forums someome else has proberly done it. | 02:34 |
| cllaudyu | isn't any thing simillar with fluxbuntu? | 02:34 |
| malaclyps | slhawkins: i know a bit, though i'm not sure it's the right channel | 02:34 |
| Balaji | Okay Odinsbane, I thinks tats the problem | 02:34 |
| b0nn | xim_: wget that page, then use wget -i | 02:34 |
| Dr_Willis | apoleo12: with screen.. i dont even bother any more with more then 2 perhaps. | 02:34 |
| kaiser10123 | how do i change power setting like right now my processor is at 1.6 but i want to be able to use all 2.4 of it | 02:34 |
| Balaji | thanks fr your help | 02:34 |
| danbhfive | cllaudyu: for something lighter than ubuntu, try xubuntu | 02:34 |
| odinsbane | Balaji: it uncompresses to one file and all you have to do is put it in the right place. If I am not mistaken the repositories use a 32bit version and a plugin wraper. | 02:34 |
| cllaudyu | ok | 02:35 |
| SuperMiguel | kunji, what kind of simulations? | 02:35 |
| apoleo12 | Dr_Willis: actually Ive been searching for some even on the forums of ubuntu but turned out nothing for what I wanted to know | 02:35 |
| spO | do any of you know how to compile fglrx/ati drivers for a custom ubuntu kernel? | 02:35 |
| kaiser10123 | Dr_Willis: hey | 02:35 |
| kunji | SuperMiguel: Hodgekin Huxley model simulations of Neurons. usually they involve more than a thousand differential equations. | 02:35 |
| apoleo12 | Dr_Willis: yeah well would you call that I'm hacking into linux, particularily tty... jus to mess around with..? | 02:35 |
| xim_ | b0nn ahh ok i think that will work | 02:36 |
| * apoleo12 hacks until he breaks it | 02:36 | |
| kaiser10123 | Dr_Willis: the copied xorg worked for me | 02:36 |
| Dr_Willis | apoleo12: i did see some distros ages ago that some how had logging infomation scrolling by on the other consoles.. It could be you just start more login sessions on the extra consoles. | 02:36 |
| apoleo12 | Dr_Willis: what extra consoles? does it just appear after logging in more than 5 or so? | 02:36 |
| apoleo12 | so anyone else know? ;) | 02:37 |
| Dr_Willis | apoleo12: yes. the ones past alt-ctrlF7 - you can even have some higher then 12 i rember. | 02:37 |
| apoleo12 | not to disregard you Dr_willis | 02:37 |
| Dr_Willis | apoleo12: i recall some disrtos that had those inactive - untill you got to them and hit enter.. | 02:37 |
| Dr_Willis | apoleo12: its just not commonly used these days. | 02:37 |
| koolkat | ever since I put on a external HDD, nautilus doesnt work whatsoever. When I try to open a folder, it used to give me an error: "Cannot open /folder/ No application is registered as handling this file [or application]". Now I installed dolphin and it opens the folders with that, but several items are missing including Network and Computer and I would like nautilus to work. | 02:38 |
| apoleo12 | Dr_Willis: hmm it seem doesnt work for me apparently | 02:38 |
| apoleo12 | Dr_Willis: i see ok but it's cool man! | 02:38 |
| yan | i am a boys and wante a girl for speak | 02:38 |
| Dr_Willis | apoleo12: it used to be a feature in the /etc/inittab but ubuntu dont use that any more i recall | 02:38 |
| Flannel | yan: This isn't the place for it. Please go elsewhere. | 02:39 |
| casey | hi | 02:39 |
| odinsbane | koolkat: what desktop environment are you in? | 02:39 |
| apoleo12 | Dr_Willis: ok that make sense, it'd be nice to retain the vitiage(sp) | 02:39 |
| koolkat | odinsbane: gnome | 02:39 |
| Dr_Willis | apoleo12: try 'sudo getty /dev/tty8' :) | 02:39 |
| odinsbane | koolkat: I don't think you want dolphin then. | 02:40 |
| apoleo12 | ok | 02:40 |
| Dr_Willis | apoleo12: if you look at 'ps ax | grep getty' you see one getty for each console. | 02:40 |
| koolkat | what do i do then? | 02:40 |
| Dr_Willis | apoleo12: so that may be a way to activate them thats what inittab used to do | 02:40 |
| odinsbane | koolkat: did you try running nautilus from the cmd line to see if it gives you errors? | 02:40 |
| apoleo12 | Dr_Willis: even tho there arent inittab file exists | 02:41 |
| Dr_Willis | apoleo12: sudo getty 38400 tty9 | 02:42 |
| Dr_Willis | apoleo12: yes.. as i said.. ubuntu no longer uses an inittab.. thers some other service thats starting those getty processes | 02:42 |
| Dr_Willis | find the service/config and its proberly a setting in there. | 02:42 |
| koolkat | first it says its not installed then when i try to apt-get it it says,: Invalid operation nautilus | 02:42 |
| apoleo12 | Dr_Willis: or I try otehr number than 9? | 02:42 |
| apoleo12 | Dr_Willis: Yes ok I ynderstand | 02:42 |
| Dr_Willis | apoleo12: 1-6 are allready ysed... 7 is X, 8+ are open | 02:43 |
| iblicf | . | 02:43 |
| wy | hi all | 02:43 |
| Dr_Willis | apoleo12: its possible to move X down the list if you are not carefull also. | 02:43 |
| casey | i'm want to put a camand in a scipt for a ups softwere to close a program. I got the scipt I just want to know where to put it in the script. | 02:43 |
| odinsbane | koolkat apt-get install nautilus, though however you lost it is another story | 02:43 |
| Dr_Willis | apoleo12: theres also alterantives to getty that may have more fun features | 02:43 |
| apoleo12 | oh yeah | 02:43 |
| apoleo12 | ? | 02:43 |
| MySecondChoiceIS | Why prototype a function in C/C++. It seems like a waste of fucking time! | 02:44 |
| Dr_Willis | apoleo12: apt-cache search getty :) | 02:44 |
| apoleo12 | Dr_Willis: I see that the f8 have something else init with no prompt... whats up with that? | 02:44 |
| Dr_Willis | !info quingy | 02:44 |
| ubottu | Package quingy does not exist in jaunty | 02:44 |

| Dr_Willis | apoleo12: that command i gave started one on F8 | 02:44 |
| casey | *script | 02:44 |
| Dr_Willis | apoleo12: oope I mean F9 :) | 02:44 |
| apoleo12 | lol | 02:44 |

| b0nn | hrm, for some reason my firefox has become unstable. It was segfaulting earlier when I tried to start it, I rebooted my maching due to a lock up, and now it's incredibly slow | 02:46 |
| MySecondChoiceIS | thanks pici for answering my question | 02:46 |
| odinsbane | Morik: check your package manager there should be a flash plugin. | 02:46 |
| nikolaj | hello :) is anyone free for 2 mins just to help with a screensaver problem? | 02:46 |
| Morik | it says it is unsupported | 02:46 |
| odinsbane | Morik what browser? and who says unsupported? | 02:47 |
| Dr_Willis | apoleo12: want a cool trick? Install qingy then 'sudo qingy tty9' and phear the framebuffer eyecandy goodness! | 02:47 |

There's no muted channels and everything's up. Suggestions? | 02:47 |
| Cyber_Akuma | Its white when theres black over it | 02:47 |
| Morik | firefox, and i misinformed you, I am on 64 | 02:47 |
| MySecondChoiceIS | Why prototype a function in C/C++. It seems like a waste of fucking time! | 02:48 |
| apoleo12 | Dr_Willis: woah there man, I cant rush my blood fast enough... and now i got the F9 to work... | 02:48 |
| MySecondChoiceIS | Why prototype a function in C/C++. It seems like a waste of fu****** time! | 02:48 |

| apoleo12 | Dr_Willis: so thanks! I get this but will this disappear after reboot? | 02:48 |
| Flannel | MySecondChoiceIS: This is #ubuntu. You should take programming discussions elsewhere, also, mind your language, even obfuscation doesn't make it OK | 02:48 |
| nikolaj | i have a problem! everytime i try and access the screen saver preferences the whole screen freezes or goes black | 02:48 |
| Dr_Willis | apoleo12: the issue with the getty stuff i notice is that via those commands it spawns ONCE... not over and over like a service does... | 02:48 |
| odinsbane | Morik google flashplay linux 64 bit. You should be able to find it pretty easy, then just put the flashplayer...so where it belongs. | 02:49 |
| kerm|t1 | what's the best way to send audio out a different computer's soundcard? | 02:49 |
| Dr_Willis | apoleo12: of course it will. :) you just ran a app.. you dident do any real changes | 02:49 |
| === kerm|t1 is now known as kerm|t | ||
| nikolaj | and i think that is because a certain screen saver has been selected that my graphics card can't handle | 02:49 |
| Morik | ok thanks odinsbane | 02:49 |
| Dr_Willis | apoleo12: perhaps google for 'replace getty ubuntu' or 'ubuntu getty tweaks' may have other tricks | 02:49 |
| apoleo12 | right I didnt do any changes but I wasnt sure if it would respawn like F1 to F6 | 02:49 |
| nikolaj | so how do i change the screen saver without opening the screen saver preferences | 02:50 |
| nikolaj | ? | 02:50 |
| apoleo12 | Dr_Willis: ok great | 02:50 |
| mikkelgj | ? afs | 02:50 |

| nikolaj | lol are any of you able to help? | 02:51 |
| apoleo12 | Dr_Willis: yeah thanks to google... but ive searched hard enough to make "him" like me | 02:51 |

| apoleo12 | Dr_Willis: yeah I figured that. One more question... why the F8 doesn'ty have a prompt? what is it there for? (I must have hased that question but wasnt gettin a clear answer) | 02:53 |
| Flannel | menokh: I did. | 02:53 |

| munk | Hi all. So I formatted a hard drive from fat32 to NTFS, copied some files over to it, then realizing it was the wrong harddrive formatted it back to fat32. I am now realising there was a bunch of data on the drive from before I started all this that I now need back. Most of it was in raw text files. Anyone know a good way to get this back? | 02:53 |

| odinsbane | nikolaj: also do you know your video card? Some have issues. When the screen freezes up does alt-f6 / f5 ... get you a new tty? | 02:54 |
| richardcavell | munk: d'oh | 02:54 |
| zenlunatic | munk: off topic | 02:55 |
| Dr_Willis | apoleo12: you have to have a getty process runnng on tty8 to get a login: thats what getty does. | 02:55 |
| munk | it is in ubuntu that I am attempting this | 02:55 |
| Flannel | !undelete > munk | 02:55 |
| ubottu | munk, please see my private message | 02:55 |
| Dr_Willis | apoleo12: you could 'cat file > /dev/tty8' and see output there if you wanted. | 02:55 |
| nikolaj_ | ok so i set the visual effects to none | 02:55 |
| Dr_Willis | apoleo12: thers some specialized getty variants int he repos to run say.. top or other apps on those if you dont want a login but somthing else. | 02:56 |
| munk | thanks | 02:56 |

| Tyrath | ctmjr: actually i understand foreground... it allows you to understand what happens when a program crashes. but with background processes - i don't understand why they don't disown by default | 03:33 |
| Tyrath | ctmjr: because who would willingly close a terminal to crash a program? | 03:34 |

| puff | Tyrath: It's a standard practice that dates from 30+ years ago in the unix world. | 03:38 |
| puff | Tyrath: By default, spawned processes are not daemon processes. | 03:39 |
| Tyrath | puff: so people would rather type <program>&disown than <program>& ? | 03:39 |
| gwildor | Tyrath, it was designed in a time when you only had your 1 shell....you didnt open as many as you want... there wasnt X.... just you and your shell.......you wouldnt want forgotten background processes using all resources, harming the other users | 03:39 |

| getxsick | puff: lvm is not so recent | 03:43 |
| puff | getxsick: It is to me :-). | 03:43 |
| ninjaslim | i'm trying to share the network connection of my MacBook Pro so that my Ubuntu box can use it, i have it configured on the Mac side, can't get configuration on the Ubuntu side right | 03:43 |
| puff | getxsick: I'm still a little distrustful of DHCP. | 03:43 |
| Tyrath | puff: but they could always change the unix command... | 03:43 |
| getxsick | puff: :D | 03:43 |
| puff | Tyrath: Go right ahead. | 03:43 |
| ninjaslim | it detects the connection stays connected, then disconnects, and while it's connected it can't access any web pages | 03:44 |
| ninjaslim | any idea what's going on here | 03:44 |
| puff | Tyrath: And when you've got your new version, see how much luck you have with convincing everybody to use it. | 03:44 |
| getxsick | chroot: cannot run command `/bin/bash': No such file or directory | 03:44 |
| puff | Tyrath: It's a human issue, not a technical one. | 03:44 |
| TruthTaco | OK another question, i have a hard drive, and i want a program to be able to write to it, how do i set permissions so any program can write to it? | 03:44 |
| Tyrath | puff: lol. why would noone want to use it? | 03:44 |
| getxsick | i copied bash binary to /bin/bash | 03:44 |
| getxsick | and nothing | 03:44 |
| ninjaslim | any idea what's going on here | 03:44 |
| stlsaint | what are you using for ubuntu side? | 03:44 |
| stlsaint | ninjaslim... | 03:44 |
| puff | Tyrath: I have my own little list of usability improvements I'd like to see. | 03:44 |
| ninjaslim | stlsaint: i would need to do manual configuration right in say network settings and not use dhcp for eth0 right? | 03:45 |
| puff | Tyrath: Probably because it would break a few hundred different things in your average running program. | 03:45 |
| Tyrath | puff: so generally it's command related with linux, people say don't touch it. if it's gui related people say, go right ahead? | 03:45 |
| jedc | TruthTaco, if the drive is mounted as /media/myDrive, sudo chmod -R 777 /media/myDrive | 03:45 |
| gwildor | Tyrath, much like you are here, wishing someone would make a change you prefer, there would be 20 people wishing they would change it back..... | 03:45 |

| Guest99817 | im getting an error while trying to install. Soft Reset Failed (Device Not Ready) error upon installing Ubuntu | 03:45 |
| puff | Tyrath: Well yo're talking about something that cuts pretty deep into the core of unix. | 03:45 |
| puff | Tyrath: Process control, etc. | 03:45 |
| stlsaint | ninjaslim: right no dont use DHCP...set ip, gateway and dns manual... | 03:45 |
| Tyrath | puff: yeah good point | 03:46 |
| stlsaint | Guest99817: what are you trying to install? | 03:46 |
| ninjaslim | stlsaint: ok, so gateway should be the ip of the macbook pro or the router and what about dns? | 03:46 |
| gwildor | Tyrath, its not that its "command related"..... how would you feel if you bought a car, and the gas/brake were reversed.... | 03:46 |
| stlsaint | get that from router | 03:46 |
| Guest99817 | stlsaint, ubuntu.. | 03:46 |
| puff | Tyrath: Probably the simplest thing would be to integrate disowsn more tightly into bash shell, so it feels more like bg/fg/etc. | 03:46 |
| stlsaint | or mac i mean...same as mac should be | 03:47 |
| blognewb | hello good eve? if i manually type and run the spawn-fcgi command, it executes right, but if i run the init.d/php-fastcgi file instead, it seems that it's not calling it... how do i check this? can i do an "echo" inside the switch case in the init.d file? | 03:47 |

| stlsaint | Guest: what system...laptop or desktop | 03:50 |
| ninjaslim | does the mac address need to be the same too | 03:51 |
| ninjaslim | ninjaslim: MacBook Pro runs Mac OS X which is sharing the connection with the PC runing Ubuntu, connection originates on MAc | 03:52 |
| stlsaint | are you using the mac as the "hub" for the ubuntu system | 03:52 |
| ninjaslim | stlsaint: yes i'm using it as the hub | 03:52 |
| elliotf | I could really use some help with recovering an lvm2 volume. I'm following the directions at http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8874, but the 'vgchange' command in 'listing 7.' does not make any volumes active. | 03:53 |
| stlsaint | so you say mac is setup right so you should be able to go thru network settings on buntu machine and connect to mac via lan | 03:53 |
| elliotf | instead I get "0 logical volume(s) in volume group "VolGroup01" now active" | 03:53 |

| ninjaslim | stlsaint: yes | 03:54 |
| jedc | leaf-sheap, http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu | 03:54 |
| jedc | leaf-sheap, when you download and burn a cd, it is updated until new updates are released | 03:54 |
| stlsaint | unless you trust the source who tells you that they have not messed with the iso i recommend you download the original iso and just do a sudo update | 03:54 |
| goku12205 | does anyone know where i can find a http exploit? | 03:54 |
| leaf-sheep | jedc: There already are updates since the original iso released back in April. I'm looking for a way to update the iso. | 03:55 |
| stlsaint | ninja when you go to wireless settings what do you get on buntu machine...i cant look as my machine is already configured for wireless | 03:55 |
| ninjaslim | stlsaint: wireless settings, or network settings? | 03:56 |
| arand | clete: heh, never saw that one before... sorry not sure how to edit icons there specifically, they will follow userglobal theme though, I guess. | 03:56 |
| jedc | leaf-sheap, they update the iso on the website i believe, just whichever one you burn will become outdated as there are more releases | 03:56 |
| RaidRecovery | anyone familiar with mdadm ? | 03:56 |
| jedc | the iso you dl today will be different from next weed | 03:56 |

| stlsaint | yea i know on windows the "hub" system would show in the available wireless networks to connect to...but you can still do it manually | 04:01 |
| xgm | so i have a question.. the pc that i use ubuntu with is going to be running as an ftp server at home so i can access my pc from school. My router uses NAT so i use PPPoE to connect to the internet and have an IP which can be accessed on port 21. But when my internet dies, and comes back up, the PPPoE IP is not renewed. How can i fix this? | 04:01 |
| stlsaint | arand: not sure why leaf wanted a slipstreamed iso when he can just customize ubuntu as he goes along | 04:02 |
| === daBomb69 is now known as Chazz | ||

| fogus | I would like to dual-boot windows xp/windows server/linux/linux/linux/etc. this shouldn't be to hard but I would like to be able to encrypt the windows installs with truecrypt and the linux installs with dmcrypt. what do I install first: windows or linux? (I believe the answer is "windows" ususaly, but perhaps this is different with truecrypt) | 04:03 |
| xgm | stlsaint: i have verizon DSL, and sometimes when it rains, the modem disconnects from the internet. | 04:03 |
| jedc | arand, you mean all the updates i do (e.g. apt-get upgrade) are included in the iso when you dl it? you need to do all the upgrades once you install? | 04:04 |
| stlsaint | hordeking: ???? | 04:04 |
| jedc | arand, *are not | 04:04 |
| xgm | after some time it obviously reconnects, but my linux doesnt renew the PPPoE IP | 04:04 |
| stlsaint | xgm: you cant set your router to renew auto? | 04:04 |
| arand | leaf-sheep: that should be on the ubuntu wiki somewhere, it's a rather involved process I think. | 04:04 |

| xgm | stlsaint: my router renews my IP. But my router has NAT, which im sure you know makes it so that all my computers share the router's IP. But i can use PPPoE to make my linux box have an external IP to that of my router. But after my router regains internet, my PPPoE connection does not restart itself, and therefore I have no internet. In other words, how can i get either my linux box to reboot itself once a day, or my pppoe to rene | 04:07 |

| TigerCR1200 | scott_ino2, depends on the time line for that, I've been paid to create some really simple ones. Receipt type things. | 04:28 |
| Cocoabean | perscitus: it may be the encyrption you are using that is keeping it from working, are you using encryption? | 04:28 |

| Koganei | so I'm on Moblin on my netbook at the moment and have no access to any other computer. No cd, no usb key. Is there a way for me to install Ubuntu and wipe Moblin on this computer? | 04:40 |
| MeditatingFrog | !Moblin | 04:41 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about Moblin | 04:41 |
| puff | I think the keyword phrase you're looknig for is "net installer". | 04:41 |
| Koganei | Moblin is this distro that is geared for social/online interaction | 04:41 |
| puff | Debian used to have one, I wonder if ubuntu does. | 04:41 |
| * Koganei is not sure what the guts of Moblin are based on | 04:42 | |
| libtech | Koganei: is it made by intel? | 04:42 |
| Koganei | yeah | 04:42 |
| puff | Koganei: Go to here and scroll down to "Server and network installations" https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation | 04:42 |
| Koganei | oh, I can net install from a ubuntu server? | 04:42 |
| ctmjr | Tyrath: | 04:43 |
| puff | ARgh, I hate dealing with stupid word processors. | 04:43 |
| puff | Not that OO is that st upid, but. | 04:43 |
| vassler | If I had a regular text document using gedit, is there a way to count how many character's are used in the text file? | 04:43 |
| puff | I'm half tempted to try to export it all to HTML, write a shells cript to run the images througth imagemagick,then import it all back in./ | 04:43 |
| puff | vassler: Yes. | 04:43 |
| ctmjr | vassler: the wc command will count them for you | 04:44 |
| dsnyders | vassler, wc file will give you the word count, line count and character count | 04:44 |
| Tamnakz | Is there a chat program that'll do video for aim or gmail? | 04:44 |
| * puff was actually off checking to see if "man -k count" would turn up wc or not. | 04:44 | |
| vassler | dsnyders: How? | 04:44 |
| puff | Survey says: yes. | 04:44 |
| puff | vassler: man wc | 04:44 |
| dsnyders | vassler, wc filename | 04:44 |
| MeditatingFrog | wc, cool | 04:44 |
| Snake | hm | 04:44 |
| puff | vassler: It's a command line tool. | 04:45 |
| vassler | OH in terminal? | 04:45 |
| gartral | dsnyders: does it break "words" up as every 4 charecters, or by looking for non alphanumeric charecters at the "end" of a real word | 04:45 |
| vassler | OK | 04:45 |
| tarsman | hi puff, i'm tarsman. i'm just trying my luck if you have any idea how compatible IBM System x3550 M2 with ubuntu server? | 04:45 |
| Voltaire | Hello people | 04:45 |
| puff | tarsman: Sorry, no clue about that. Did you try googling on it? | 04:45 |
| dsnyders | gartral, I think it considers a word as a series of non blank characters surrounded by blanks | 04:46 |
| tarsman | thank you puff. | 04:46 |
| mikegerwitz | Tamnakz: Empathy may be able to; can try installing that. I'm not positive that it supports video over those protocols though | 04:46 |
| puff | tarsman: I know IBM was putting serious amounts of work into running redhat images on their big iron a few years back, and IBM is certainly in bed iwth redhat and linux in general, so it's entirely possible. Maybe even likely. | 04:46 |
| tarsman | yes I google for it and I found one but not too conclusive for me. | 04:46 |
| ctmjr | here you go all about wc http://www.linfo.org/wc.html | 04:47 |
| streblo | which java installation package is best for general programming purposes? | 04:47 |
| gartral | dsnyders: so in other words its not accurate to either standard | 04:47 |
| johoja | is there a way to downgrade a package? | 04:48 |
| dsnyders | gartral, how else would you do it? A dictionary lookup of each string to see if it is an actual word? | 04:48 |
| ctmjr | !downgrade | 04:49 |
| ubottu | Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system. | 04:49 |
| johoja | package i said | 04:49 |
| johoja | not ubuntu. | 04:49 |
| gartral | no, but the "right" way is too look at each word, and if theres a nonalpha numeric charecter at the end, add 1 toy the word count and look at the next line of A/N chars | 04:49 |
| Voltaire | what are you trying to downgrade to? | 04:49 |

| schmitty | No package 'libebook-1.2' found | 04:57 |
| schmitty | ibebook1.2-9 is already the newest version. | 04:58 |
| streblo | puff, this is a dumb question, but apt couldnt find the package. what repository am i looking in? | 04:58 |
| schmitty | If an install is looking for libebook1.2 and I have libe1.2-9 that should be fine right? | 04:59 |
| Voltaire | John, doesn't hplip just save to location? | 04:59 |
| mikegerwitz | schmitty: libeboox-1.2 and libebook1.2-9 are different packages | 04:59 |
| mikegerwitz | libebook* | 04:59 |

| Voltaire | Schmitty, "MIKEGERWITZ: apt-get accepts "packagename=version"" | 05:00 |
| Voltaire | whats the question | 05:00 |
| mikegerwitz | schmitty, it looks like that package you're trying to install is searching for a package under a slightly different name - without the dash before the version. Try using the --ignore-missing to force it to install | 05:01 |
| viky | i need to configure chat service in office network | 05:01 |
| gartral | !helpme | viky | 05:01 |
| ubottu | viky: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience | 05:01 |
| ecumenical_ | is there a way to get a program such as Meld to generate a report of differences between files in a directory and files which I've modified? | 05:01 |
| viky | just like office communicator | 05:01 |

| === william is now known as Guest31532 | ||
| viky | will kdiff3 help me configure chat service | 05:02 |
| ecumenical_ | puff, ok. Yea, I want to generate a report of changes between two copies of a file. (files actually) | 05:02 |
| puff | viky: Probably not. | 05:02 |
| viky | then | 05:02 |
| ecumenical_ | viky, what type of chat service do you want to configure? | 05:03 |
| puff | ecumenical_: I like meld, but kdiff3 is awesomely handy for when I have, for example, two different file trees from two different svn code checkouts and I need to figure out which files have changes and merge them all together. | 05:03 |
| === UNFORGiVEN512 is now known as unforgiven512-aw | ||

| viky | yes | 05:03 |
| ecumenical_ | puff, I have meld installed, does it generate printable or e-mail-able diff reports? | 05:03 |
| viky | just like microsoft office communicator | 05:03 |
| puff | ecumenical_: I don't know about generating a report, but the big thing kdiff3 buys you over meld is being able to compare two directory hierarchies. | 05:03 |
| rom10 | how to activate the interrupt | 05:04 |
| Voltaire | ahh ok give me a second | 05:04 |
| puff | ecumenical_: I would kind of assume most diff tools would be able to output patch files, but I never needed it so I: never looked into it. | 05:04 |
| ecumenical_ | puff, meld 1.2 has directory comparison | 05:05 |
| viky | @voltaire do u have any solution | 05:05 |
| schmitty | 'Requested 'libebook-1.2 >= 2.26.3' but version of libebook is 2.26.1' but I kind find that version with aptitude, I can't find anything otherthan 1.2-9 | 05:05 |

| uhok | I need to automatically restart an application (in case it crashes), I found http://tinyurl.com/mfynxw but I'm not sure if he's doing it right. Suggestions? | 05:35 |
| ecumenical_ | uhok, use cron? | 05:35 |

| ecumenical_ | uhok, set a cron to check for the program every minute or five minutes. | 05:36 |
| uhok | ecumenical_, I'm using cron. Is it simply having it run the program name every few minutes, and if it's running it won't do anything, but it'll run if it isn't? | 05:36 |

| ecumenical_ | uhok, I'm not sure if it will spawn multiple processes or just one. Try a cronjob and monitor your processes with 'top' | 05:37 |
| ecumenical_ | uhok, you could maybe make a ruby or python script to check if the application is running and spawn it if it isn't. then use cron to run that script every minute. | 05:38 |
| ecumenical_ | or perl | 05:38 |
| ecumenical_ | or bash | 05:38 |

| Voltaire | SATRIA: http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en-us&q=makefile+tutorial&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8 | 05:46 |

| uhok | zuz_, Make sure you Sudo Apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade | 05:47 |

| Revrus | Voltaire: machine running upnp stream is a vista machine, ICS host is my netbook on netbook remix, and ICS client would be my xbox 360, i want the 360 to see a media share from the vista machine | 05:49 |

| zuz_ | i was looking for this apt-get install moonlight-plugin-mozilla | 05:50 |
| uhok | Crash2108, It's hard, so.. | 05:50 |
| Revrus | Crash2108: set your boot priority to have usb before your hard drive | 05:50 |
| uhok | zuz_, Open up synaptic | 05:50 |
| Crash2108 | Is a USB flash drive any faster than the HDD despite the USB bottleneck? | 05:51 |
| uhok | Crash2108, No. | 05:51 |
| zuz_ | ok | 05:51 |
| mikegerwitz | Crash, if you're looking for a simple bootable USB key, there's an option to create one from the administration menu on the bootable disc. If you literally mean "instant", as in already stored in memory, I haven't seen that | 05:51 |
| ecumenical_ | uhok, you can use pipes and ; to deliment lines | 05:51 |
| Crash2108 | Well, it's for an HTPC. So as fast as possible. I don't need a portable system here. | 05:51 |
| ecumenical_ | uhok, you can also create a bash script as a text file I believe and then run the whole thing with one command | 05:52 |

| anom01y | uhok, what / | 06:00 |
| anom01y | ? | 06:00 |
| Revrus | Crash2108, as with any operating system, you are most likely to have supported hardware with the latest version of the operating system | 06:00 |
| Voltaire | Crash2108: I've had issues with Jaunty and lagacy drivers, if its a older mobo | 06:00 |
| kiaas_ | Crash2108, it should boot on more systems now, but various regressions (mostly with ATI videocards) are present on the latest version | 06:00 |
| Geoffrey2 | uhok, I have an older 11b wireless that I connect with, I recently bought a Linksys by Cisco wireless G usb device, and so far ubuntu doesn't seem to see it\ | 06:01 |
| uhok | Have you restarted? | 06:01 |
| uhok | Do you have your drivers? | 06:01 |
| mikegerwitz | wfiuewfew, one of the easiest ways if you are not familiar with cron is to put the script you wish to run (or a symlink to it) in /etc/cron.hourly | 06:01 |
| Geoffrey2 | uhok, there's the problem, I can | 06:01 |
| uhok | Geoffrey2, open up the config, load up your Inf's | 06:01 |
| mikegerwitz | Oh, a certain hour. Nevermind. | 06:02 |
| uhok | I'm sure you can download them Geoffrey2 | 06:02 |
| Voltaire | Crash2108: I would try Inprid before trying to get it working with Debian though it should work with some work | 06:02 |
| Geoffrey2 | uhok, I can't find any documentation anywhere that even lists this device, much less which drivers I should be using | 06:02 |
| uhok | Geoffrey2, Who cares, have you don't what I've told you already? | 06:02 |
| wfiuewfew | mikegerwitz: I looked at cron but it apparently emails you the results according to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=812525; I need to have the script run as a normal one | 06:03 |
| uhok | Goeffrey2 I never found Mine listed anywhere. | 06:03 |
| Revrus | Crash: i would agree with Voltaire, while Debian is a highly stable distrobution, it is rarely updated do to the way they do things, so i would try Inprid first | 06:03 |
| mikegerwitz | wfiuewfew, how do you mean "run as a normal one"? While cron does attempt to send an e-mail, it will have no effect if your system is not configured to process that e-mail. It will simply run it | 06:04 |

| Revrus | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/370069 | 06:25 |
| CaptainCrook | Revrus, ok thanks i'm gonna look at it! | 06:25 |
| Crash21081 | Voltaire, Fedora was no problem at all except for HDMI sound and not having the support Ubuntu has. | 06:26 |
| techobsessive | i need help | 06:26 |
| Voltaire | WIGGMPK: hmmm good question, and even if your not using programs intesivly you should still be using some virt memory | 06:26 |
| protocol1 | go to AA tech.....jk | 06:27 |
| uhok | techobsessive, With what. | 06:27 |
| techobsessive | hahah | 06:27 |
| softsantear | if i want to ssh into a remote machine on a network on which there are multiple users sharing the same router and hence the same public IP, how can i specify the machine i want to ping? will ssh user@xxx.xxx really do it? (caveat -- i can't test this right now) | 06:27 |
| techobsessive | no but i have a gnomenu thing, and dont really get what its for | 06:27 |
| WIGGMPk | softsantear: you have to set port forwarding on the router | 06:27 |
| Myrtti | softsantear: no. you need port forwarding. | 06:28 |
| Revrus | softsantear, you need to use your portforwarding if your router supports it | 06:28 |
| WIGGMPk | softsantear: so the router can forward the external SSH request to the proper internal IP | 06:28 |
| techobsessive | uhm. what do you mean | 06:28 |
| === nabeel is now known as Guest86477 | ||
| softsantear | ah OK. so the router functions as the switchboard | 06:28 |
| protocol1 | there a way I can fix the mouse issue with my ubunt netbook remix.....its way off when I try to click an icon..... I have to click a few spaces right of the icon I want to launch | 06:28 |
| softsantear | WIGGMPk: i knew i had to fwd port but didn't realize the magic behind that | 06:29 |
| WIGGMPk | softsantear: no, but you could sorta say that | 06:29 |
| DarthPuff | how do i transfer images from a camera using the data cable? | 06:29 |
| gwildor | fspot | 06:29 |
| Revrus | protocol1, havnt heard of anything like that happening, does it work when you switch your desktop mode to classic? | 06:30 |
| softsantear | WIGGMPk: well, so what if multiple remote hosts on the same network are using the same port for inbound ssh connections? or will a router not allow sharing of the same port | 06:30 |
| WIGGMPk | softsantear: a switch operates on a much more complex scheme.. a router is just a router.. it just tells packets where to go when requests come hence the Network Address Translation | 06:30 |
| DarthPuff | will any other software do it? | 06:30 |
| === _UNFORGiVEN512 is now known as unforgiven512-aw | ||
| tarsman | quit | 06:30 |
| protocol1 | Revrus, havent tried that | 06:30 |
| Voltaire | Crash21081: ah Well I can see HDMI sound being somewhat important. Yeah then I would just recondmend trying 8.10 (8.10 will have much better support I remeber boxeeing have some issues with Jaunty anyways) | 06:30 |
| WIGGMPk | softsantear: you need to be more specific, im not sure I undeerstand.. port 22 is default for SSH incoming requests.. | 06:30 |
| Revrus | protocol1, are you using an actual netbook for netbook remix, and if so, what model? | 06:31 |
| Crash21081 | 8.10 Fedora, Ubuntu or Boxee? | 06:31 |
| protocol1 | no I am using a compaq v2000....which might be why...plus its a wide screen | 06:31 |
| techobsessive | On ubuntu 9.04, how do you change the icon of the GNOME Menu bar | 06:31 |
| WIGGMPk | softsantear: are you asking if multiple people behind the same LOCAL network are accepting SSH requests? as in.. 3 people on the same router are ready to be SSH'ed into? | 06:31 |
| Voltaire | Ubuntu 8.10 | 06:31 |
| Voltaire | But no promisses | 06:31 |
| Revrus | protocol1, well, most netbooks are widescreen, but i was gonna check the compatability chart if you were using a netbook, it lists alot of machine specific problems | 06:31 |
| softsantear | WIGGMPk: sure. lets say there is a router with 3 PCs plugged into it, all running some version of linux and with sshd up. they all specify port 4444 as the port on which to listen, and by somde COINCIDENCE they all have same local linux user name. how does the REMOTE user specify which machine he wants to ssh into? | 06:32 |
| Voltaire | wow i butched that | 06:32 |
| protocol1 | Revrus, there a way to get UNR to support a regular laptop widescreen? | 06:32 |
| softsantear | WIGGMPk: i'm just spinning this out to its logical conclusion, because i think that the machine i will SSH into is the only one accepting connections on that network. but i'm curious | 06:33 |
| protocol1 | Revrus, everything works fine...its just the UNR interface thats off a bit | 06:33 |
| Revrus | protocol1, well idk, i just got netbook remix myself for my msi u100, havnt played around with the settings much | 06:33 |
| WIGGMPk | softsantear: thats a dam good question.. and because I have not tooled around with router port forwarding for a very long time.. I would prolly ask another person in the channel.. mean while I will check my local router | 06:33 |

| Kris07 | Can someone help? | 06:34 |
| Revrus | softsantear, the only way i could of think of doing it, would be forwarding the port to your most used machine, then sshing from one machine to the next | 06:34 |
| pheonix | hi friends, my amarok is not able to fetch the lyrics its saying Unfortunately, due to licensing restrictions from some of the major music publishers we can no longer return lyrics through the LyricWiki API (where this application gets some or all of its lyrics). | 06:34 |

| softsantear | WIGGMPk: so in the meantime you're saying that if there is just the one, if i ssh -p <number> host@PUBLIC.IP.OF.REMOTE , i should be able to get in? | 06:34 |
| softsantear | Revrus: right, i'm not concerned with accessing them all. i just neglected to set up SSH before leaving one fileserver behind and now i need to administer it. just covering my bases b/c i think i will need to ask someone to do some live setup before i can access it | 06:35 |

| DarthPuff | hello | 06:37 |
| DarthPuff | has anyone here used gtkam? | 06:38 |
| Voltaire | Hi | 06:38 |
| Revrus | Kris07, are you using the updater program or installing from a disc, if your using a disc, make sure you burn it at a very low speed, and if your using the updater, make sure you dont have your cd drive as a repository, otherwise, i cant be of much help | 06:38 |
| Cmtr | Have a Gateway notebook and can't get any sound | 06:38 |
| WIGGMPk | softsantear: Revrus: being a network admin.. at this point (if you needed to SSH multiple machines on a LAN) you should consider a more complex LAN setup.. IE: NOT a router.. perhaps letting a linux machine do your NAT instead of a limited router.. OR consider flashing the firmware on the router to something more flexible (like setting up VLAN's) | 06:38 |
| DarthPuff | for some reason my digital camera is not detected | 06:38 |
| techobsessive | Can i get just the tinies bit of help | 06:38 |
| softsantear | WIGGMPk: that's sensible. will consider for future! i'm out, thanks. gonna see if meteor shower is visible ;) | 06:39 |
| Kris07 | Revrus, I'm using the upgrade program. And I don't think I'm using the my cd drive as a repository. How can I check and fix it if I am though? | 06:39 |

| erika1984 | hi all | 06:54 |
| edbian | StupidWeasel: the configure script is hand written by the package maintainer. The options available are added by him I believe. | 06:54 |
| legend2440 | mlissner: i have an old crt monitor. i had to center my windows using the controls on the monitor itself | 06:54 |
| CaptainCrook | Revrus, damn ... now it's i and r both in the crtl+alt+F1 terminal doesnt work... | 06:55 |
| StupidWeasel | Ahh, so ./configure help would typically return such options (as it's written by the maintainer?). | 06:55 |

| Revrus | CaptainCrook, well, if it works in normal terminal, just hope you dont have to do anything without gnome | 06:56 |
| mlissner | legend2440: No, it's not the monitor. It's the windows themselves. I have to grab them and recenter all the time. Fullscreen windows (for example) are fine. | 06:56 |

| ActionParsnip | D3RGPS31: 7:20am here, just started work | 07:18 |
| graham_ | I can boot into Ubunto (for the moment), but boot won't recognise my vista install on 2 seperate raid 0 disck. | 07:18 |
| HighLordObsi | for whoever asked | 07:18 |
| D3RGPS31 | 2:20AM, haven't slept | 07:18 |
| skyler | how do i update using sudo apt-get? | 07:19 |
| ActionParsnip | D3RGPS31: maybe there is an option in the app you are using to make it use your config file | 07:19 |
| oldude67 | skyler, sudo aptitude update | 07:19 |
| HighLordObsi | i'm an extraordinarily noobish ubuntu noob | 07:19 |
| skyler | thanks | 07:19 |
| D3RGPS31 | ActionParsnip: ? | 07:19 |
| ActionParsnip | skyler: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade | 07:19 |
| musicbox | any ideas on turning off system sounds for all users ? | 07:19 |
| D3RGPS31 | ActionParsnip: i get this error at login | 07:19 |
| oldude67 | then sudo aptitude safe-upgrad3 | 07:19 |
| oldude67 | upgrade even^ | 07:19 |
| ActionParsnip | D3RGPS31: check the man page of the app you are using, you may have to use an option to specify the config file explicitly | 07:19 |
| D3RGPS31 | ActionParsnip: i never said anything about an app :o | 07:20 |
| skyler | well, im trying to check for updates on gimp, i used "sudo apt-get update gimp" | 07:20 |
| ActionParsnip | HighLordObsi: can you provide lsusb too, the lshw is not too informative, have you looked at the belkin site to check for drivers | 07:20 |
| skyler | it told me the update command takes no arguments | 07:20 |
| ActionParsnip | D3RGPS31: oic, so you get told the file is being ignored at bootup? | 07:20 |
| PsIkOtIkO | OMGç | 07:21 |
| D3RGPS31 | ActionParsnip: no, at login | 07:21 |
| HighLordObsi | there are no official drivers...i was told i had to use ndiswrapper | 07:21 |
| ActionParsnip | skyler: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade | 07:21 |
| HighLordObsi | but yeah hold on again...brb | 07:21 |
| oldude67 | skyler, you cant tell it to update gimp just update | 07:21 |
| ActionParsnip | HighLordObsi: then download the windows drivers for your architecture and grab ndisgtk | 07:21 |
| skyler | ohh | 07:22 |
| ActionParsnip | oldude67: you can with: sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get --reinstall install gimp | 07:22 |
| skyler | you cant single out applications? | 07:22 |
| ActionParsnip | skyler: ^ | 07:22 |
| ActionParsnip | skyler: you can but its a bit underhanded ;) | 07:22 |

| skyler | hmmm, i see | 07:23 |
| graham_ | Is there a prog that I can install, to enable Ubunto to recognise my raid setup (without changing raid settings (read blocks) etc. cuz files I want to recover. | 07:23 |
| ActionParsnip | HighLordObsi: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Belkin_F5D7050_ver_4000_%28ZyDas_zd1211b_driver%29 | 07:24 |
| Revrus | anybody know how i would a upnp stream from my vista machine to go to my xbox which is connected via ICS on ubuntu netbook? | 07:24 |
| tuxwulf | Oh it is a zyxel... | 07:24 |
| ActionParsnip | HighLordObsi: you need to compile the driver | 07:25 |
| tuxwulf | There was a driver for a zd1211 though, somewhere | 07:25 |
| skyler | another question... im using ubuntu 9.04 on EeePC 1005 and i had some problems before with wired/wireless connecitons, but i got that all taken care of. but i dont know if i should update my "linux-backports-modules" or not | 07:25 |
| tuxwulf | Right | 07:25 |
| ActionParsnip | HighLordObsi: if you do compile it you will need to compile it again if you change to a new kernel | 07:25 |
| tuxwulf | I once had a zd1211 USB thing and it worked out of the box, as station... | 07:26 |
| gogeta1 | tuxwulf: yea zyd cards work great | 07:27 |
| gogeta1 | tuxwulf: to bad datail does not make them anymore | 07:27 |
| tuxwulf | gogeta1: Yes, they work great. i had one before there was support out of the box and can remember I needed ndsiwrapper. That worked, though not very stable. | 07:28 |
| panfist | is it possible to test an ssh tunnel | 07:28 |
| tuxwulf | gogeta1: But I switched to Atheros, since I need(ed) master mode | 07:28 |
| gogeta1 | tuxwulf: zyd have linux nativ drivers | 07:28 |
| tuxwulf | gogeta1: > they do now, yes | 07:29 |
| skyler | another question... im using ubuntu 9.04 on EeePC 1005 and i had some problems before with wired/wireless connecitons, but i got that all taken care of. but i dont know if i should update my "linux-backports-modules" or not | 07:29 |
| ActionParsnip | panfist: sure, you can vnc over it, or connect to a service on the ssh serving machine via the tunnel | 07:29 |
| gogeta1 | tuxwulf: bought one for my psp so i can use xlink being they support every wifi mode | 07:29 |
| ActionParsnip | skyler: if it ain't broke, dont fix it | 07:29 |
| panfist | actionparsnip i'm having trouble doing that and i'm trying to troubleshoot | 07:30 |
| tuxwulf | gogeta1: Eh, you mean, to connect to other PSPs? | 07:30 |
| panfist | what's the simplest service to tunnel | 07:30 |
| Revrus | anybody know how i would a upnp stream from my vista machine to go to my xbox which is connected via ICS on ubuntu netbook? | 07:30 |
| ActionParsnip | !vnc > panfist | 07:30 |
| ubottu | panfist, please see my private message | 07:30 |
| gogeta1 | tuxwulf: to connect to other psps over xlink it lets you play ad-hoc games over the net | 07:30 |
| tuxwulf | gogeta > Ah, that is ad hoc mode, not master mode. Never tried that with zydas. But good that it works! | 07:31 |
| panfist | actionparsnip well my SSH server is ubuntu server without x windows so i can't vnc to it. i thought the simplest service would be like telnet or something | 07:31 |
| skyler | heres the thing, when i first got my network up, i tried updating and it messed it up. so i got my drivers through sudo and it seems like that is more stable | 07:31 |
| gogeta1 | tuxwulf: xlink lets you also connect any other console system link to the net | 07:31 |
| ActionParsnip | panfist: if you have web interfaces on the server you could use those | 07:32 |

| ActionParsnip | staminna: ok looks like you will need to create some files | 07:44 |
| ActionParsnip | staminna: all the files it says are missing, use those filenames with touch | 07:44 |
| staminna | ActionParsnip: It's not overriding the local build ( I didn't know this package exist) I think it's symlinking glue | 07:44 |
| ActionParsnip | staminna: e.g. touch /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/mapnik/__init__.py | 07:44 |
| ActionParsnip | with sudo of course | 07:45 |
| maxagaz | ActionParsnip, reinstalling didn't change anything | 07:45 |

| ghaith | ActionParsnip: at home i do, but i can't at work | 08:01 |

| HighLordObsi | it'd be easier to take the whole pc...then i could do everything exactly how the instructions say instead of having to mount the files on a virtual drive and figure out where to go from there | 08:08 |

| ActionParsnip | Ububegin: if you kill 30006 you should be offered to recover the old sessionas it wasnt closed properly | 08:08 |
| worldwarcheese | i got the iso from the site's torrent list, checked the dl md5sum then used FUSbi to load it onto a usb | 08:08 |
| Drained | hmm.. try re-installing it? | 08:08 |
| staminna | legend2440: I first started compiling for linux, and then on the dependency I have to use synaptic to get away and then I've switched to the Jacklope 9.04 instructions from mapnik.org.

| Drained | andorin: remove the package and add it again | 08:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Andorin: add the medibuntu repo and install libdvdcss2 | 08:09 |
| Drained | Andorin: if it doesn't get working your DVD player's laser might be dieng. | 08:10 |
| Amerigo | btw, when I maximize a video in Firefox, it immediately puts it back 'into the box'. What's up with that? | 08:10 |
| worldwarcheese | tuxwofl: if you have a different method for making a live usb i could try that, i already tried unetbootin | 08:10 |
| Drained | amerigo, sounds like a graphics card issue with the auto un-fullscreen | 08:10 |
| Gutzi | hi | 08:10 |
| CaptainCrook | how do i open/close port 25 (mail port)? | 08:11 |
| Amerigo | other apps do fine. It's just videos in Firefox. | 08:11 |
| tuxwulf | worldwarcheese: I do... http://www.pendrivelinux.com/usb-ubuntu-704-persistent-install/ explains. There are a few tyhings to keep in mind though | 08:11 |
| Drained | which is why it's a graphics card issue... | 08:11 |

| ActionParsnip | sleepy_cat: you could use find | 08:17 |
| nevyn | sleepy_cat: test -d Work | 08:17 |
| nevyn | echo $? | 08:17 |
| ActionParsnip | sleepy_cat: find . -name Work | 08:17 |
| nevyn | ActionParsnip: no garuntee it's a directory | 08:17 |
| HighLordObsi | thanks for your help by the way actionparsnip | 08:18 |
| sleepy_cat | find worked | 08:18 |
| ActionParsnip | nevyn: could use: find . -name Work -exec file {} \; | 08:18 |
| sleepy_cat | thanks ActionParsnip | 08:18 |
| ActionParsnip | sleepy_cat: the above will tell you what sort of file Work is | 08:18 |
| indus | hi | 08:18 |
| Padhu | gstreamer and ffmpeg plugins required | 08:19 |
| ActionParsnip | sleepy_cat: find doesnt care if its a file or folder as they are the same in linux | 08:19 |
| sleepy_cat | yeah i kind of understood that | 08:19 |
| nevyn | if [ -d Work ]; then echo "it's there"; fi | 08:19 |
| worldwarcheese | tuxwulf: thanks for the help. its not done yet but i already see some things i missed before. ill keep you posted if youre online. | 08:19 |
| ActionParsnip | nevyn: never understod the semicolon after ] in bash, in C it would never output anything ;) | 08:20 |

| Trijntje | Hi all, is it normal for login in gnome to take ~30 seconds with 2GB 2.4GHz? | 08:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Trijntje: how much ram? | 08:24 |
| nevyn | ActionParsnip: but what I'm saying is is the opening bracket is a command | 08:24 |
| nevyn | ActionParsnip: and the closing one is just syntactic fluff | 08:24 |
| nevyn | you can ommit it quite happily | 08:24 |
| ActionParsnip | nevyn: gotcha | 08:24 |
| ActionParsnip | nevyn: thanks | 08:24 |
| Trijntje | ActionParsnip: 2GB | 08:24 |
| kiaas_ | Trijntje, also, 2.4ghz on what CPU? Pentium 4? | 08:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Trijntje: create a new user and see if its the same with taht | 08:25 |
| sleepy_cat | ActionParsnip: whats the code that will give me if its a folder or a file or something else | 08:25 |
| ActionParsnip | sleepy_cat: file <something here> | 08:25 |
| ActionParsnip | sleepy_cat: file disregards file extensions and looks at the data structure then can tell you what the thing is you named | 08:26 |
| Trijntje | kiaas_: i dont know, how can I find out? | 08:26 |
| ActionParsnip | sleepy_cat: very powerful | 08:26 |
| sleepy_cat | o cool | 08:26 |
| sleepy_cat | this is indeed awesome | 08:26 |
| sleepy_cat | thanks | 08:26 |
| ActionParsnip | sleepy_cat: np :) | 08:26 |

| UdarEC | ) | 08:26 |
| kiaas_ | Trijntje, how new is it? if it isn't "new" you can open terminal and type in cat /proc/cpuinfo | 08:26 |
| gnuyen | hi, i can't get talk to work on ubuntu, i did apt-get install talk talkd | 08:26 |
| kiaas_ | Trijntje, actually, that command will work if it is new too xD | 08:26 |

| Trijntje | gartaral: how do i do that? | 08:31 |
| klicker | hi guys can someone explain | 08:31 |

| ubottu | klicker: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 08:32 |
| klicker | okay | 08:32 |
| klicker | yeah it just the X11 forwarding but i dont understand what 0.0 mean | 08:32 |
| fredl | I checked launchpad but don't see any new bugs for python-support. For me the apt-get dist-upgrade hangs with 'Processing triggers for python-support ...' | 08:32 |

| klicker | ActionParsnip i understand that | 08:34 |
| worldwarcheese | tuxwulf: another question, when it says to open up in windows to load the iso can i just add the iso while in jaunty with the extract tool? | 08:34 |
| klicker | but can you explain to me what | 08:34 |
| klicker | 0.0 mean | 08:34 |
| jeeves | is there a program that will decompile a PDF? | 08:34 |

| Ubuntu_Geek86 | adobe reader 9? im not sure | 08:34 |
| konsumer | Does anyone here know where applications are installed in Xubuntu? | 08:35 |
| konsumer | I want to dock some shortcuts in my desktop. | 08:35 |
| kiaas_ | klicker, I think it is just specifying which display to display it on | 08:35 |
| ActionParsnip | konsumer: due to the nature of linux there is no one folder where they are stored | 08:35 |
| DarthPuff | do you guys know why some songs refuse to rip in sound juicer? | 08:35 |
| gartral | konsumer: ALL APPLICATIONS ARE INSTALLED IN /USR/BIN I BELIVE | 08:35 |
| gartral | whooops! | 08:36 |
| konsumer | I see | 08:36 |
| ActionParsnip | konsumer: libs will go in /lib and binarys and other stuff will go everywhere else | 08:36 |
| klicker | kiass_ what do you mean by which display to display it on kiass ? | 08:36 |
| konsumer | Ah ok, most are libs :) | 08:36 |
| ActionParsnip | konsumer: if an app installs a lib then it can be used by other apps too, this makes the installed size smaller | 08:36 |
| konsumer | nice | 08:36 |
| Maxim75 | Hi everyone | 08:36 |
| ActionParsnip | konsumer: so you will noy have a single folder like in program files under windos | 08:37 |
| tuxwulf | worldwarcheese: YOu mean with the USB disk creator? I just browsed to a downloaded ubuntu ISO and worked beautifully.... | 08:37 |
| kiaas_ | klicker, I think that at least on linux, each "virtual terminal" can be used as a display for X. it must be specified which of these is the display, such as 0.0 | 08:37 |
| safruhani | hi, on 8.10, i want to open image urls (that ends with .png or .jpg etc.) with mirage, how can i do that ? | 08:37 |
| safruhani | not open with default browser | 08:37 |
| samushka | i have a local .deb package which i'd like to install... it depends on other packages, what tool can i use to install this local package while automatically apt-get'ing the missing dependencies ? | 08:37 |
| worldwarcheese | tuxwulf: what does that mean (sorry)? i have the iso so do I just add it to the usb then? | 08:38 |
| kiaas_ | X isn't my specialty | 08:38 |
| eoke | konsumer: This may help you understand what the various directories are used for http://www.ubuntugeek.com/linux-or-ubuntu-directory-structure.html | 08:38 |
| ActionParsnip | safruhani: add it as a helper app in your browser | 08:38 |
| worldwarcheese | oooooooooh | 08:38 |
| gartral | safruhani: in a terminal type mirage /path/to/image | 08:38 |
| blognewb | Hey guys urgent.. is this a proper syntax: sudo /usr/sbin/update-rc.d -f php-fastcgi defaults (the -f means force remove..? should i put that there????) | 08:38 |
| tuxwulf | worldwarcheese: Are you using the USB startup disk creator or the website I posted earlier...? | 08:38 |
| safruhani | gartral: i want to do it for urls | 08:38 |
| worldwarcheese | Wait, tuxwulf, you mean this is the time to use a GUI based iso loader on the usb? | 08:38 |
| safruhani | ActionParsnip: thanks for help | 08:39 |
| worldwarcheese | tuxwulf: this http://www.pendrivelinux.com/usb-ubuntu-704-persistent-install/ | 08:39 |
| gartral | safruhani: a URL is a path, and can be treated as such | 08:39 |
| konsumer | Thanks eoke :) | 08:39 |
| safruhani | gartral: understand thank you | 08:39 |
| safruhani | gartral: ActionParsnip which way is faster for you? | 08:39 |
| safruhani | i think from the terminal | 08:39 |
| konsumer | very useful eoke :) Much appreciated. | 08:40 |
| konsumer | have a good day fellas. peace. | 08:40 |
| tuxwulf | worldwarcheese: That procedure is complete. | 08:40 |
| eoke | konsumer: No problem remember everything is only a guilde line though | 08:40 |
| klicker | thx anyway found it | 08:40 |
| blognewb | hi is this a proper syntax: sudo /usr/sbin/update-rc.d -f php-fastcgi defaults (the -f means force remove..? should i put that there????) | 08:40 |
| tuxwulf | worldwarcheese: you can follow that procedure completely, OR use the Startup disk Creator. | 08:41 |
| worldwarcheese | tuxwulf: hmm? so i'm on step 15, however the next step asks me to use Windows, which i do not have on this computer | 08:41 |
| kiaas_ | blognewb, -f usually means "force" not necessarily force remove. if it is combined with something to remove, it'll probably force it. | 08:41 |
| tuxwulf | worldwarcheese: The website explains to 'unpack' the iso before copying it to the USB drive, though: see the steps under "Using Windows to prepare and move the files to the USB Stick:" | 08:42 |
| Maxim75 | Hi everyone, I'm a newbie; I would like to try ubuntu: what kind of installation do you suggest me (8.04 or 9.04 ?) | 08:42 |
| bucky | blognewb: do you really have a /etc/init.d/php-fastcgi ? | 08:42 |
| worldwarcheese | tuxwulf: ok i think i got it now. i'm adding the iso and trying to boot on the netbook | 08:42 |
| blognewb | bucky: yes | 08:42 |
| RaidRecover | can anyone help me try and recover my raid? my old motherboard died and i transfered my disks to a new computer and booted up to a liveCD but my disks are not recognized as being raid | 08:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Maxim75: i'd say 9.04 | 08:43 |
| tuxwulf | worldwarcheese: Ah... I see. That is a problem. There are other ways: to mount the ISO in linux and then manually copy the files, and adjust the syslinux.cfg, but now you are a little off the easy path... | 08:43 |
| bucky | blognewb: dpkg -S /etc/init.d/php-fastcgi and tell me what package it came from | 08:43 |
| blognewb | bucky: i have it | 08:44 |
| bucky | blognewb: dpkg -S /etc/init.d/php-fastcgi and tell me what package it came from | 08:44 |
| Trijntje | actioParsnip: logging into the new account takes ~20 second. Then logging into my own account (without rebooting) takes ~15 seconds | 08:44 |
| Maxim75 | thanks ActionParsnip; just a second question: I would try ubuntu on a small pc that a friend of mine just gave me: it's a pentium III 800 with 192 or Ram | 08:44 |
| worldwarcheese | tuxwulf: haha. such is my luck. so should i proceed to unpack the iso and add it to the usb or is that not such a good idea? | 08:44 |
| Maxim75 | should I try the alternate install or the other one? | 08:44 |
| ActionParsnip | Maxim75: install Xubuntu | 08:45 |
| blognewb | it's an init file | 08:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Maxim75: or install ubuntu then install LXDE | 08:45 |
| tuxwulf | worldwarcheese: You can but you also need to edit the syslinux file in the root of your USB drive. Oh, and you need... the isolinux directory with its files. | 08:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Maxim75: it will run nice, just wont have all the supergloss that more powerful systems can afford | 08:45 |
| tuxwulf | worldwarcheese: ... perhaps if you only have ubuntu the USB Startup Disk Creator is easier, and quicker... | 08:46 |
| Polt{laptop} | I am wanting to upgrade my ext3 to ext4 and I found this link showing how http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1118205 can anyone tell me, would it be worth it ? | 08:46 |
| worldwarcheese | tuxwulf: i like the sound of both of those | 08:46 |
| Maxim75 | thank you ActionParsnip :) | 08:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Maxim75: linux doesnt need a hugely powerful system | 08:46 |
| worldwarcheese | tuxwulf to clarify: let's do the easier one | 08:46 |
| Maxim75 | that's what a friend of mine told me ;) | 08:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Maxim75: i have desktops on far less but they run puppy linux | 08:46 |

| cookie-monster | /quit | 08:47 |
| eross | i uninstalled wine (1.1.27) but version 1.1.22 is still on there. I may have compiled/installed it or through some 3rd party util. How do I get rid of it so I can reinstall wine? | 08:47 |
| worldwarcheese | tuxwulf: i like the sound of that. youre the first person to tell me that | 08:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Maxim75: xubuntu is made for low end systems and you have the minimum ram and a way over minimum spec cpu | 08:47 |
| worldwarcheese | tuxwulf: where can i find a step-by-step guide to the disk creator? | 08:48 |
| Maxim75 | perfect; I'm trying to learn linux these days and I hope to reach good results | 08:48 |
| tuxwulf | worldwarcheese: If you have Ubuntu, click System - Administration - USB Startup Disk Creator. It is very easy. | 08:48 |
| Maxim75 | I already have a xubunto burned on cd (the alternate edition) | 08:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Maxim75: you will as you use it, just as you did with windows | 08:48 |
| Maxim75 | should I try that one? | 08:48 |
| zvacet | eross: iif you see it in synaptic try to uninstall from there | 08:48 |
| eross | it's not in synaptic now | 08:48 |
| === shah_ is now known as shah16 | ||
| ActionParsnip | Maxim75: the alternate installs in text based mode and is much lighter in ram so i would advise it yes | 08:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Maxim75: did you MD5 check the ISO? | 08:49 |
| tuxwulf | worldwarcheese: I suppose ... you could boot any live ISO this way... These were just my first two creations, too.... | 08:49 |
| eross | but it's in /usr/local/bin/wine | 08:49 |
| Maxim75 | at the moment no; you are right; I should first check the iso | 08:49 |
| worldwarcheese | tuxwulf: holy frak it's what i've been looking for since say one (4 days ago) | 08:49 |
| Maxim75 | before burn it | 08:49 |
| zvacet | eross: so,you probably compile it go to the folder form whitch you compile and run sudo make uninstall | 08:49 |
| gartral | is there a way i can have a prompt or comfirmation befor rebooting from terminal? | 08:50 |

| tuxwulf | worldwarcheese: 4 days??? Man you are lucky! I have been using the complicated way for MONTHS! I used Kubuntu before and that does not have that Creator, so I had to... | 08:50 |
| Maxim75 | thank you ActionParsnip for all your help :) | 08:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Maxim75: indeed, lets you know the CD you have is good and in no way corrupted | 08:51 |

| fuzzybunny | ActionParsnip, do you work for Ubuntu? | 08:51 |
| ActionParsnip | fuzzybunny: no, just a long standing linux user | 08:51 |

| gartral | </opinion> | 08:52 |
| * Polt{laptop} sighs | 08:52 | |
| Maxim75 | wow, I hope to become and expert; who knows!! for the moment, thank you so much ActionParsnip. | 08:52 |
| fuzzybunny | ActionParsnip, oh how long have u been using it? I think you have been here everytime I have come in ;) | 08:52 |
| ActionParsnip | gartral: define "powerful" | 08:52 |
| Maxim75 | have a good day | 08:52 |

| fuzzybunny | oh ok | 08:53 |
| fuzzybunny | I kept going back and forth with it | 08:53 |
| gartral | ActionParsnip: ohh lets see... it can create multiple OS distro disks, and isnt confined too Ubuntu/Debian | 08:53 |
| worldwarcheese | tuxwulf: it's copying the files now. i can't wait to try it (earlier my attempts grew less and less hopeful as time went on) and yeah, some of the commands i've picked up have really helped in other projects so its not all lost. just annoying after a while ;) | 08:53 |
| fuzzybunny | I do constantly have problems still I guess | 08:53 |
| jedc | polt{laptop}, whether what is worth it? | 08:53 |
| fuzzybunny | but I just like Linux more | 08:53 |
| Polt{laptop} | upgrade to ext4 | 08:53 |
| Polt{laptop} | everyone says there is a performance increase | 08:54 |
| eross | does ext4 require defrag? | 08:54 |
| Polt{laptop} | since I am on a 1.2 ghz machine I want to know if it will make a difference | 08:54 |
| Bilal | otrs(open ticket request system) displays internal server error. Restarted apache and mysql, checkes index.pl syntax ok. But still in error | 08:54 |

| fuzzybunny | oh nice | 08:54 |
| ActionParsnip | fuzzybunny: can you ping his ip? | 08:55 |
| Guest27542 | Hi everyone. Having a troublesome crash bug with Firefox and was wondering if others knew of the problem or of a fix. Seems that sometimes (can't figure out when, it's not just Java or Flash or anything) Firefox will have a nice big total crash where it freezes the entire computer. Can't even summon a terminal and kill firefox. Only thing to do is power the computer down. Didn't start after any particular software upgrade or add-on install. The only consi | 08:55 |
| Guest27542 | stency with it I can seem to find is that sometimes when typing in or selecting the location bar it triggers the crash. And the crash looks like the firefox window sort of "fragmented" and I can see part of the firefox window and part of whatever was below it. Hope that all made sense. | 08:55 |
| fuzzybunny | no it says destination host unreachable I can only ping it after he pings me | 08:55 |
| ActionParsnip | fuzzybunny: rather than just name | 08:55 |
| jedc | fuzzybunny, can you ping his local network ip? | 08:55 |
| Polt{laptop} | why would converting to ext4 not be as good as doing it from a fresh format | 08:55 |
| fuzzybunny | nope | 08:55 |
| ActionParsnip | fuzzybunny: hmm does he always use the same ip? | 08:55 |
| fuzzybunny | yeah | 08:55 |
| Polt{laptop} | and one other question .... the guy in the link uses /dev/sda1 and later refers to /dev/sda when trying to reinstall grub | 08:56 |
| Polt{laptop} | I use /dev/sda5 | 08:56 |
| tuxwulf | worldwarcheese: Let me know how it works out..? | 08:56 |
| Polt{laptop} | would the /dev/sda still apply for me ? | 08:56 |
| fuzzybunny | I am really at a loss I tried renaming my hosts file in case it was something in that | 08:56 |
| Polt{laptop} | or would it be something else | 08:56 |
| Trijntje | Guest27542: with ctrl+alt+f1 you can login to text only. From there you could kill firefox and return to your desktop with ctr+alt+f7 | 08:56 |
| gartral | screen + resident terminal = fail | 08:56 |
| fuzzybunny | I tried it with my eth instead of my wireless | 08:56 |
| worldwarcheese | tuxwulf: haha will do. sorry if i ramble, it's VERY late in the morning where i am now | 08:56 |
| Polt{laptop} | I can try it if nothing else I know it will work | 08:57 |
| Bilal | otrs(open ticket request system) displays internal server error. Restarted apache and mysql, checkes index.pl syntax ok. But still in error | 08:57 |
| jedc | Polt{laptop}, yes, but use /dev/sda5 where he uses /dev/sda1 | 08:57 |
| Guest27542 | Trijntje: have a crash up right now (in IRC on a different comp) - ctrl+alt+f1 doesn't even work | 08:57 |
| === Adam is now known as Stargazer | ||
| Polt{laptop} | I just need to make sure I reinstall grub correctly is all | 08:57 |
| ActionParsnip | fuzzybunny: you need the hosts file | 08:58 |
| Stargazer | how do i change the permissions on a root-only drive? | 08:58 |
| fuzzybunny | ActionParsnip, yeah I just renamed it back | 08:58 |
| Guest27542 | i can still move the mouse but i can't click on anything. no keyboard shortcuts work. | 08:58 |
| ActionParsnip | fuzzybunny: it does more than networking. You can add his IP as a resolve in your hosts file and it will resolve using that weather he has pinged or not | 08:59 |
| |Shade| | anyone familiar with freeNX server? I wonder if it could act as an application server? | 08:59 |
| === user101 is now known as user10 | ||
| fuzzybunny | yeah I have md 192.168.1.65 in my hosts | 08:59 |
| ActionParsnip | fuzzybunny: run: gksudo gedit /etc/hosts and add a line reading: <servername> <ip address> | 08:59 |
| rraasch | Stargazer: mount -o remount,rw / | 08:59 |
| Polt{laptop} | alright I think I will go for the upgrade | 08:59 |
| Trijntje | Guest27542: that is realy bad. what happens when you do alt+SysRq+b? | 08:59 |
| Polt{laptop} | just to try it out | 09:00 |
| Stargazer | how do i change the permissions on a root-only drive? | 09:00 |
| rraasch | Stargazer: mount -o remount,rw / | 09:00 |
| fuzzybunny | and then if I ping md or 192.168.1.65 it doesnt work | 09:00 |
| Polt{laptop} | if nothing else it should improve the speed of the FS | 09:00 |
| rraasch | remount the drive as rw | 09:00 |
| Stargazer | rraasch, it's an external hdd. | 09:00 |
| rraasch | umount /mnt/usb | 09:00 |
| Guest27542 | trinjntje: sorry I just rebooted. (Still trying to figure out exactly what triggers it.) I'll let you know next time it crashes. | 09:00 |
| bucky | fuzzybunny: type arp and see if your brother's ip is in there... some one has a brain dead implementation of arp | 09:01 |
| rraasch | Stargazer: mount -o rw /dev/usb /mnt/usb | 09:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Polt{laptop}: you can use hdparm too but it is risky, if you push too far it can damage the drive pysically | 09:01 |
| Stargazer | rraasch, what about chmod ? | 09:01 |
| Trijntje | Guest27542:that command should reboot your pc | 09:01 |
| fuzzybunny | bucky, it says md (incomplete) wlan0 | 09:01 |
| fuzzybunny | the incomplete is where the mac address should be | 09:01 |
| rraasch | each file has its own ownership | 09:02 |
| Trijntje | Guest27542: but start firefox in a terminal like this next time: firefox >crash.txt | 09:02 |
| bucky | fuzzybunny: this is what mine says | 09:02 |
| bucky | 192.168.254.254 ether 00:0B:23:8D:D1:98 C eth0 | 09:02 |
| Guest27542 | oh, alright. and it just crashed again while typing google.com into the location bar. i'll try it now. i'll start it in a terminal next time around ;) | 09:02 |
| Stargazer | rraasch, isn't there a recursive thing i could do for all the subfiles/folders. | 09:02 |
| rraasch | if each file is ro AFTER mounting, then chmod -R a+wr /mnt/usb | 09:02 |
| fuzzybunny | bucky, how would I correct it in there? | 09:02 |
| bucky | fuzzybunny: it has my info | 09:02 |
| Guest27542 | alt-sysrq-b worked | 09:02 |
| Adam_eM | Trijntje: hi | 09:02 |
| ActionParsnip | rraasch: that may need sudo | 09:03 |
| fuzzybunny | bucky, do you know how I can update it? | 09:03 |
| jedc | Stargazer, what permissions do you want? | 09:03 |
| Adam_eM | everything's up and running. I have even managed to get the NX server to work :) | 09:03 |
| Trijntje | Guest27542: ok, you could also ask in #ubuntu-bugs i think, there should be no freezes in ubuntu, so they should be willing to help | 09:03 |
| zaggynl | freenx is awesome | 09:03 |
| bucky | fuzzybunny: is this wireless | 09:03 |
| jedc | Stargazer, -R is the option for recursive for chmod | 09:03 |
| Stargazer | jedc, i need them to be open permissions for the main user. not root. | 09:04 |
| Guest27542 | trijntje: ok, thank you very much | 09:04 |
| fuzzybunny | bucky, yeah it doesnt work over eth either though | 09:04 |
| bucky | fuzzybunny: is this wireless in ad hoc mode? | 09:04 |
| Trijntje | Guest27542: no problem | 09:04 |
| fuzzybunny | bucky, no | 09:04 |
| Trijntje | Adam_em: nice | 09:04 |
| bucky | fuzzybunny: what mode is it | 09:04 |
| fuzzybunny | bucky, I think it is managed or infrastructure | 09:04 |
| bucky | fuzzybunny: both computers? | 09:05 |
| jedc | Stargazer, you probably just want your user to own it then, try chown -R <username>:<username> file | 09:05 |
| rraasch | Stargazer: sudo mount -o rw, uid=mainuser /dev/ | 09:05 |
| tuxwulf | What doe wubi.exe do ? | 09:05 |
| fuzzybunny | bucky, we both connect to the same router | 09:06 |
| ActionParsnip | rraasch: could use uid=1000 | 09:06 |
| rraasch | yea, for the first user added | 09:06 |
| ActionParsnip | !wubi | tuxwulf | 09:06 |
| ubottu | tuxwulf: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. | 09:06 |
| ActionParsnip | tuxwulf: if you use it, MD5 check the file before launching it | 09:06 |
| tuxwulf | ActionParsnip: Wow, that is really cool... thanks! | 09:07 |
| ActionParsnip | tuxwulf: most old linux users dont like it too much | 09:08 |
| ActionParsnip | tuxwulf: its nice as a trial but as a proper OS it kinda sucks | 09:08 |
| Guest27542 | trijntje: oh really quick. does starting firefox with 'firefox >crash.txt' make a log or something? | 09:08 |
| jedc | Guest27542, sort of, it redirects the output from firefox (which would go to terminal) to the file crash.txt | 09:09 |
| Trijntje | Guest27542: yes, it writes error messages to a file called crash.txt in your home directory | 09:09 |
| jedc | Guest27542, the > redirects | 09:09 |
| Guest27542 | Ok, thanks. | 09:09 |
| === unforgiven512 is now known as unforgiven512-aw | ||
| tuxwulf | ActionParsnip: Yes, I understand. Well, useful for many people, to try without harming their Win | 09:09 |
| Guest27542 | Good to know. Always learn more than I expected when I come here :) | 09:09 |
| ActionParsnip | jedc: assuming the pwd is $HOME when launched | 09:09 |
| xxshadowxx | hey can sum1 link wer i can go 2 c the banned pally sklls\??? | 09:10 |
| xxshadowxx | plz | 09:10 |
| ActionParsnip | tuxwulf: true. I prefer to advise USB installs to try, then ubuntu doesnt even touch the internal drive at all | 09:10 |
| Myrtti | xxshadowxx: you're not making any sense | 09:10 |
| jedc | ActionParsnip, why assuming that? | 09:10 |
| ActionParsnip | xxshadowxx: can you type in full english sentances rather than lik this az u mayk no senz | 09:11 |
| Trijntje | Hi all, loggin into gnome is taking ~30s on a 2GB 2.4GHz desktop. Logging into a new account takes ~18 seconds. Any ideas on how to proceed here? | 09:11 |
| xxshadowxx | any1 no wer 2 go on forums 2 c the paladin skills that are banned | 09:11 |
| Myrtti | xxshadowxx: this is Ubuntu support, not random chat | 09:11 |
| jedc | xxshadowxx, probably on wow forums, not ubuntu | 09:11 |
| ActionParsnip | jedc: you just did, if the pwd is /etc, and the user launches firefox > log.txt it won't write as the file is been written to pwd which is /etc | 09:11 |
| jedc | ActionParsnip, ah yes, but that is just a permissions issue, it would write it if you were root for example and in /etc | 09:12 |
| ActionParsnip | jedc: could use: firefox > ~/log.txt as a cover all | 09:12 |
| fuzzybunny | bucky, hey I think I got it | 09:12 |
| ActionParsnip | jedc: roots home is /root | 09:12 |
| fuzzybunny | bucky, thanks so much for your help | 09:12 |
| fuzzybunny | ActionParsnip, thanks for your help | 09:13 |
| ActionParsnip | jedc: and you shouldnt be loggin on as root, a definately not launching firefox | 09:13 |
| fuzzybunny | I am just going to restart and maybe that will work | 09:13 |
| jedc | ActionParsnip, I know, but im saying you dont have to be in ~home... | 09:13 |
| jedc | er, $HOME | 09:13 |
| ActionParsnip | jedc: if you are a user, the log file will not be written if the pwd is no in the users own home directory | 09:13 |
| tuxwulf | ActionParsnip: ... yes. You are right. Or a CD, yes. | 09:13 |
| ActionParsnip | tuxwulf: sure | 09:13 |
| tuxwulf | ActionParsnip: Even less "destructive"... | 09:14 |
| Guest27542 | trijntje: (still not getting help in ubuntu-bugs otherwise i wouldnt be bothering you still). i started with >crash.txt and firefox crashed. i rebooted and all i see is an empty crash.txt file in my home dir | 09:14 |
| tuxwulf | Intrusive, even a better word. | 09:14 |
| jedc | ActionParsnip, unless that user has permissions to write to whatever directory they are in | 09:14 |
| ActionParsnip | tuxwulf: totally, if you have > 2Gb ram it will run pretty well | 09:14 |
| ActionParsnip | jedc: true | 09:14 |
| gartral | whats the advantages of having 12 gigs of ram? | 09:14 |
| ziroday | gartral: you get 12 gigs of ram at your disposal... | 09:15 |
| Stargazer | hey guys, i'm still having troubles changing the permissions on that drive. | 09:15 |
| jedc | gartral, you will be able to run most things without using the hd for swap? | 09:15 |
| ActionParsnip | gartral: more simultaneous apps running, more disk cache | 09:15 |
| pkkm | Guest27542: Did you try redirecting error log like '$ app 2>&1 > file' ? | 09:15 |
| jedc | Stargazer, is it already mounted? | 09:15 |
| Stargazer | yeah | 09:15 |
| Trijntje | Guest27542: can you try alt+sysrq+k? | 09:16 |
| ActionParsnip | gartral: linux uses unused ram as disk cache to make disk accesing faster | 09:16 |
| Guest27542 | trijntje: while frozen? | 09:16 |
| Trijntje | Guest27542: yes, that should kill X, so you should be able to login again | 09:16 |
| gartral | ActionParsnip: what would you consider and ngodly about of ram? | 09:16 |
| jedc | Stargazer, if it is mounted as /media/mydrive, chown -R <yourusername>:<yourusername> /media/mydrive | 09:16 |
| ActionParsnip | gartral: depends on what the system is for | 09:16 |
| jedc | Stargazer, without the '<' '>'s | 09:16 |
| gartral | ActionParsnip: general purposes | 09:16 |
| ActionParsnip | gartral: a system which will be used heavily for gimp will need way more than one for simple web browsing and chatting | 09:17 |
| Stargazer | jedc, i did that... | 09:17 |
| Guest27542 | pkkm: not entirely sure what that means/entails doing, so no. Is there something I should do in the terminal next time I run firefox? | 09:17 |
| jedc | Stargazer, and its not working? | 09:17 |
| gartral | ActionParsnip: watching movies and playing games like neuiz | 09:17 |
| gartral | nexuiz* | 09:17 |
| Stargazer | jedc, that's correct, it's not working. | 09:18 |
| ActionParsnip | gartral: if it just openoffice, web browsing and chat then you can easily scrape by with 512Mb. For games I'd hit somewhere round the 1Gb - 2Gb mark with a half decent video card | 09:18 |
| jedc | Stargazer, in the directory the drive is mounted in, what is the output of ls -l | grep nameofdrive | 09:18 |
| Stargazer | nothing, jedc. | 09:19 |
| ActionParsnip | gartral: i run an AMD semp 3000 AM2 1Gb DDR2 with onboard NVidia 6150 and runs nexuiz just fine | 09:19 |
| hellues | question | 09:19 |
| jedc | Stargazer, replacing nameofdrive with the name of the mounted drive, if it is nothing than you arent in the right directory | 09:19 |
| hellues | are there a program to send,delet song from ipod touch | 09:20 |
| JKevin | 。。。。 | 09:20 |
| hellues | i am using ubuntu | 09:20 |
| Guest27542 | trijntje: alt+sysrq+k worked as well. I guess the Alt+sysrq+___ are the only ones that work | 09:20 |
| jedc | Stargazer, not the full pathname | 09:20 |
| fuzzybunny | bucky, I rebooted and it lost it again after I updated the arp table with the correct MAC address do you know how I can get it so that it has the correct mac address after a reboot? | 09:20 |
| ActionParsnip | hellues: ease up on the enter key dude | 09:20 |
| Trijntje | Guest27542: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key | 09:20 |
| Stargazer | jedc, not "/media/???(Dokan)/" ? | 09:20 |
| ActionParsnip | !dontzap > Guest27542 | 09:20 |
| ubottu | Guest27542, please see my private message | 09:20 |
| jedc | Stargazer, nope, if you are in /media and it is mount as /media/Dokan, ls -l | grep Dokan | 09:21 |
| nuckle | Hello, can someone please give me a clue as in how to unrar files on ubuntu 9.04 using gnome? | 09:21 |
| Polt{laptop} | hey can anyone tell me how to use grub to mount a dvd image at boot | 09:21 |
| ActionParsnip | nuckle: sudo apt-get install rar unrar | 09:21 |
| jedc | nuckle, can you right click and extract here? | 09:21 |
| Polt{laptop} | my pc isn't wanting boot the jaunty dvd | 09:22 |
| Polt{laptop} | I can get to grub | 09:22 |
| ActionParsnip | nuckle: you can then use fileroller, or use rar x <rar file name> | 09:22 |
| nuckle | I downloaded the unrar-free but now I can only view the content of the archive and cannot unpack it... | 09:22 |
| Polt{laptop} | and I know it will read the dvd | 09:22 |
| Stargazer | .. | 09:22 |
| Polt{laptop} | the dvd drive name is cdrom0 | 09:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Polt{laptop}: did you MD5 check the DVD ISO before burning? | 09:22 |
| Polt{laptop} | yes | 09:22 |
| nuckle | jedc: did that, won't unpack | 09:22 |
| Polt{laptop} | it is fine | 09:22 |
| Polt{laptop} | it is just an older machine | 09:22 |
| Polt{laptop} | external drive | 09:22 |
| Stargazer | jedc, i'm not sure what you mean by 'i'm not in the right directory' but... nothing is coming up. | 09:23 |
| ActionParsnip | nuckle: what errors do you get | 09:23 |
| jedc | Stargazer do you see it if you just type ls -l? | 09:23 |
| Polt{laptop} | I know that I should be able to boot the dvd image from the dvd | 09:23 |
| Polt{laptop} | from grub rather | 09:23 |
| Guest27542 | Thanks that makes it easier to recover from the crash/freeze. Still don't know what's causing it though. | 09:23 |
| nuckle | ActionParsnip: I don't see any error msg | 09:24 |
| Stargazer | yes, i do, jedc. now that i see THAT list, i've noticed one of my other drives is doing it, too. | 09:24 |
| Guest27542 | And I was told not to ask for that kind of help in ubuntu-bugs | 09:24 |
| jedc | Stargazer, show me the line of that output for the drive in question | 09:24 |
| ActionParsnip | nuckle: so when you run: rar x rarfilename.rar the files dont extract? | 09:24 |
| Stargazer | jedc: drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4096 2009-08-01 18:35 ???(Dokan) | 09:25 |
| Trijntje | Guest27542: really? it sounds like a but to me.. | 09:25 |
| ActionParsnip | nuckle: the terminal is VERY case sensitive btw | 09:25 |
| jedc | Stargazer, all users have permission to write to the drive then, its still owned as root though | 09:25 |
| Trijntje | Guest27542: you could try to create a new profile and see if the crash still happens | 09:25 |
| ActionParsnip | nuckle: i sugest using tab to autocomplete the name | 09:25 |
| nuckle | ActionParsnip: it would only unpack the parent folders but they are empty once unpacked | 09:25 |
| Stargazer | jedc, i tried to paste a simple photo, it wouldn't let me. | 09:25 |
| jedc | Stargazer, what did it say? | 09:26 |
| ActionParsnip | !rar > nuckle | 09:26 |
| ubottu | nuckle, please see my private message | 09:26 |
| Stargazer | nothing, just wouldn't let me paste it, jedc. | 09:26 |
| ActionParsnip | nuckle: read that, maybe theres a package you need | 09:26 |
| Polt{laptop} | hmm there has to be a way to do this | 09:27 |
| nuckle | ActionParsnip: thank you vm | 09:27 |
| Polt{laptop} | grb is installed at the mbr it looks like | 09:27 |
| Polt{laptop} | grub | 09:27 |
| pkkm | !dontzap > pkkm | 09:27 |
| ubottu | pkkm, please see my private message | 09:27 |
| Guest27542 | trijntje: Ok I'll do that next. I'm pretty naive when it comes to these things, but wouldn't the fact that 'firefox >crash.txt' only created an empty crash.txt after it crashed mean that its a bug with Ubuntu. (Especially since it's not jst FF that freezes but everything) | 09:27 |
| nuckle | ubottu: thank you too | 09:27 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about thank you too | 09:27 |
| jedc | Stargazer, its not a permissions issue, maybe the drive really isnt mounted? try mount nameofdrive | 09:27 |
| Polt{laptop} | and when a live dvd is booted it seems that this is how it boots ... | 09:27 |
| jedc | Stargazer, you will need to do sudo mount nameofdrive | 09:27 |
| ActionParsnip | nuckle: np man | 09:28 |
| server_side | is there any phone software so i can send files to and from my phone? | 09:28 |
| Polt{laptop} | hence the wubi app for helping to boot a live dvd from windows where you cannot boot from dvd... it installs a bootloader menu entry to the MBR | 09:28 |
| Stargazer | jedc: mount: according to mtab, /dev/sdd1 is already mounted on /media/???(Dokan) | 09:28 |
| pkkm | Guest27542: Here you can read about redirections: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prog-Intro-HOWTO-3.html | 09:28 |
| Polt{laptop} | and it allows you to boot your live dvd that way | 09:28 |
| Trijntje | Guest27542: I'm not sure, i might be one of your plugins or something like that that causes the crash, so we can check that by using a new profile | 09:28 |
| Polt{laptop} | if it can do that this other method should work the same way | 09:28 |
| Polt{laptop} | just a manual way of doing it | 09:28 |
| jedc | ActionParsnip, do you have any ideas about Stargazer's problem? beats me, its not a permissions thing | 09:29 |
| sudobash | I was given a mac ibook G4 with ATI graphics and 512 mb ram catch is he said it was freezing so I put new thermal gel under all heat sinks and tried booting ubuntu live ppc and alternate I can hear the ubuntu login sound on live but I get a white screen on both even with the video=ofonly | 09:29 |
| pkkm | Guest27542: stderr is error output | 09:29 |
| sudobash | anyway to fix or maybe another distro that has Mac Ibook support | 09:29 |
| ActionParsnip | jedc: try mounting with mount /dev/whatever /mount/point -o uid=1000,rw,user | 09:30 |
| jedc | Stargazer, ok, sudo umount nameofdrive | 09:30 |
| Polt{laptop} | how frustrating ... | 09:30 |
| kindofabuzz | I'm getting a black screen after login. Fresh install of 9.04 on laptop | 09:30 |
| Polt{laptop} | I know this should be so easy | 09:30 |
| Polt{laptop} | and there is an easy way to do this | 09:30 |
| Polt{laptop} | but nobody knows | 09:30 |
| Polt{laptop} | of all things lol | 09:31 |
| ActionParsnip | kindofabuzz: did you md5 check the iso you downloaded as well as verify the cd once initially booted to? | 09:31 |
| jedc | Stargazer, then what ActionParsnip said, sudo mount /dev/sdd1 themountpoint | 09:31 |
| ActionParsnip | jedc: if its ntfs you'll need -t ntfs-3g | 09:31 |
| kindofabuzz | ActionParsnip, no =( | 09:32 |

| jedc | Stargazer, sudo mount /dev/sdd1 themountpoint -o uid=1000,rw,user | 09:32 |
| Guest27542 | trijntje: Ok, using a new profile the usual suspects aren't causing crashes it seems. So maybe it is a plugin. Sorry I should have looked into that and not just my add-ons. What should I do now though? | 09:32 |
| mr_boo | a notifier appeared that stated "proprietary drivers available" and i accepted it. but then after restart ubuntu could only run in low graphics mode. is it a bug or have i screwed up? | 09:32 |
| === chaky_ is now known as chaky | ||
| ActionParsnip | kindofabuzz: then you have no way of knowing the CD you have installed with is correct or complete | 09:32 |
| jedc | Stargazer, ah, do you know what format the drive is? | 09:32 |
| === Enissay_ is now known as Enissay | ||
| Stargazer | jedc, i had a thought and it worked. i unmounted both drives and mounted them seperately. i can paste in both, but they're still claiming "root:root" | 09:32 |
| mr_boo | i'm running in low graphics mode now and it sux | 09:32 |
| Stargazer | jedc, they're both NTFS. | 09:32 |
| ActionParsnip | kindofabuzz: i suggest you boot to the CD again and verify the CD, using the first menu you see once the cd boots | 09:32 |
| sudobash | I was given a mac ibook G4 with ATI graphics and 512 mb ram catch is he said it was freezing so I put new thermal gel under all heat sinks and tried booting ubuntu live ppc and alternate I can hear the ubuntu login sound on live but I get a white screen on both even with the video=ofonly and nosplash | 09:33 |
| ActionParsnip | kindofabuzz: you should also check the ISO you downloaded if you can | 09:33 |
| kindofabuzz | ActionParsnip, k | 09:33 |
| === Owner is now known as Terminator | ||
| ActionParsnip | !md5 | kindofabuzz | 09:33 |
| ubottu | kindofabuzz: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 09:33 |
| jedc | Stargazer, that is fine, it means root is the owner and its in the group root, but the permissions are such that anyone can write to it | 09:33 |
| mr_boo | a notifier appeared that stated "proprietary drivers available" and i accepted it. but then after restart ubuntu could only run in low graphics mode. is it a bug or have i screwed up? | 09:33 |
| jedc | Stargazer, sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g | 09:33 |
| server_side | any mobile phone software out there? | 09:33 |
| ActionParsnip | jedc: now you're getting somewhere ;) | 09:34 |
| Stargazer | jedc, by any chance do you know how big that package is? | 09:34 |
| sudobash | when I boot ubuntu live or alt on ibook g4 I can hear login sound from live but I see white screen with nosplash and also video=ofonly | 09:34 |
| mr_boo | sudobash: ouch deluxe | 09:35 |
| Polt{laptop} | my problem is that I don't have access to windows on my machine and I can't use wubi to install a bootloader entry for booting the live dvd | 09:35 |
| Polt{laptop} | and of course I think there must be a way to use grub to boot the live dvd | 09:35 |
| Stargazer | jedc, NTFS-3G is the latest on my machine. | 09:35 |
| ActionParsnip | sudobash: did you md5 check your ISO files? maybe mac needs a special boot option | 09:35 |
| sudobash | I mean it says loading... but I can tell it is running in the back ground | 09:35 |
| ActionParsnip | !mac | 09:35 |
| ubottu | To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE | 09:35 |
| jedc | Stargazer, sorry, but it is a driver, probably not too big, it depends ona few things | 09:35 |
| Polt{laptop} | hence the script that is created by wubi if you use the helper app in windows to reboot the live dvd, uses grub | 09:35 |
| fluffo | Hi, I am trying to install ubuntu server from usb (servers dvd-rom is broken), and the installer won't install without the dvd-rom, I am wondering if there is any boot options to declare that it should specifically look in the usb instead of dvd-rom? | 09:35 |
| mr_boo | Polt{laptop}: your bios settings determine boot device in the first place | 09:35 |
| sudobash | yeah this is the 2nd disc | 09:35 |
| Polt{laptop} | I've tried that | 09:35 |
| Polt{laptop} | mr_boo that didn't work | 09:36 |
| sudobash | I tried alternate also | 09:36 |
| mr_boo | Polt{laptop}: don't think grub can bypass dvd unit | 09:36 |
| jedc | Stargazer, so you can paste in them both now? what do you want to do, change the owner? | 09:36 |
| Polt{laptop} | well no but it should be able to read the hardware devices | 09:36 |
| Guest27542 | pkkm: so I should start firefox in the terminal using 'firefox 2>&1 >crash.txt' or is that not correct? | 09:36 |
| Polt{laptop} | afterall when you install the bootloader from wubi it actuallly creates a menu entry in the mbr | 09:36 |
| Stargazer | if changing the ownership will remove this problem in the future, then yeah. @ jedc. | 09:36 |
| vaibhav | my system can't connect to any website using command line, error results in unknown host , can someone help | 09:36 |
| Polt{laptop} | and that menu entry is what allows the dvd to boot if it cannot boot any other way | 09:37 |
| vaibhav | I can browse web from firefox | 09:37 |
| Polt{laptop} | since I do not have windows I cannot use wubi | 09:37 |
| ActionParsnip | sudobash: is the video card an nvidia? | 09:37 |
| xim_ | where are the applications menu icons saved? | 09:37 |
| mr_boo | sudobash: if you need a shell you could launch tty1 with ctrl+alt+F1 | 09:37 |
| sudobash | ahahhaaa Step 3- Do not boot it right away you need to type in this command line. "live-nosplash-powerpc modprobe ide-core video=radeonfb:1024x768-24@60"(It took me 4 days to figure that out) | 09:37 |
| sudobash | yeah i tried that actually | 09:37 |
| mr_boo | a notifier appeared that stated "proprietary drivers available" and i accepted it. but then after restart ubuntu could only run in low graphics mode. is it a bug or have i screwed up? | 09:37 |
| sudobash | ati | 09:37 |
| Polt{laptop} | so basically what I am getting at is that I should be able to create the same menu entry wubi creates without needing windows | 09:38 |
| jedc | Stargazer, thats not the issue since the permissions make it not really matter who owns it | 09:38 |
| Polt{laptop} | and that should allow me to reboot into the live dvd | 09:38 |
| pkkm | Guest27542: I read about redirections again now and I would rather suggert starting it with 'firefox &>crash.txt', because thet redirects ALL outputs to file. | 09:38 |
| mr_boo | its hard in low graphics mode | 09:38 |
| pkkm | *suggest | 09:38 |
| sudobash | it says boot options: live-nosplash-powerpc modprobe ide-core video=radeonfb:1024x768-24@60 | 09:38 |
| sudobash | let me try that real quick | 09:38 |
| mr_boo | a notifier appeared that stated "proprietary drivers available" and i accepted it. but then after restart ubuntu could only run in low graphics mode. is it a bug or have i screwed up? | 09:38 |
| jedc | Stargazer, when you remounted it what options did you use if any? | 09:38 |
| server_side | is there any mobile phone software in ubuntu? | 09:38 |
| ActionParsnip | sudobash: can you type my name (use tab complete) at the start of lines addressed to me | 09:39 |
| Guest27542 | pkkm: ok doing that now. thanks | 09:39 |
| ActionParsnip | sudobash: see how your name highlights, thats not an accident | 09:39 |
| ActionParsnip | sudobash: do you have rEFIt installed? | 09:39 |
| pkkm | Guest27542: no problem | 09:39 |
| Stargazer | well... i had to actually mount it using the sudo password like in a gksu type box when you try and change the time. | 09:39 |
| ActionParsnip | sudobash: http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthread.php?t=116504 | 09:40 |
| Guest27542 | pkkm: did that and ended up with an empty crash.txt file again | 09:40 |
| jedc | Stargazer you just right clicked on it and hit mount? | 09:40 |
| maya2768 | HI | 09:41 |

| Stargazer | jedc, a box opened up when i tried to open the dir, said i had to manually mount it as admin. | 09:41 |
| pkkm | Guest27542: Then I think firefox just does not output anything to console. | 09:41 |
| sudobash | my nick is diff color than yours? | 09:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest27542: maybe theres a switch for firefox to run in debug mode | 09:41 |
| jedc | Stargazer, then how did you mount it? | 09:41 |
| Stargazer | jedc, the box mounted it really... but it said i had to "manually" mount (guess it meant i had to say "ok, mount") | 09:42 |
| gartral | ActionParsnip: is there anyway i can slow down the execution speed of a cerain code for debugging purposes? | 09:42 |
| Guest27542 | actionparsnip: how could I find that? | 09:43 |
| pkkm | Guest27542: try asking on #firefox | 09:43 |
| Polt{laptop} | all I can do is laugh right now | 09:44 |
| jedc | Stargazer, you should try restarting and see if it works or not, it might just work, if not then we need to edit the /etc/fstab file abit probably | 09:44 |
| Polt{laptop} | I want to punch my computer at the moment | 09:44 |
| Polt{laptop} | seriously | 09:44 |
| Polt{laptop} | there has to be a way to do this | 09:44 |
| chalcedny | greetings ActionParsnip :)) | 09:45 |
| chalcedny | in ubuntu Jaunty how can i get it to not screen blank? i set it for 55 minutes .. but it's doing it sooner than that. | 09:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest27542: looks like its a whole mess of code as far as i can see | 09:45 |
| ActionParsnip | hi chalcedny | 09:45 |
| sudobash | ActionParsnip | 09:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest27542: have you tried renaming ~/.mozilla then running firefox? | 09:45 |
| Stargazer | restarting now, jedc. | 09:45 |
| kindofabuzz | ActionParsnip, the cd is valid. i guess i'll try to install again. no biggie | 09:45 |
| jedc | Stargazer, ok let me know how it turns out | 09:46 |
| ActionParsnip | kindofabuzz: check the iso too, its a good check. | 09:46 |
| Guest27542 | actionparsnip: I created a new profile, which I think is what you're getting at, and I haven't been able to get it crash with the new profile. | 09:46 |
| ActionParsnip | kindofabuzz: OS installs are hugely suceptible to errors so you should ceck the data rather than blindly using it and hoping | 09:46 |
| worldwarcheese | I agree, i've had a lot of problems with corrupt isod | 09:47 |
| worldwarcheese | isos* | 09:47 |
| Guest27542 | pkkm: no response on #firefox but the ubuntu forum archives say something about 'firefox --debug' and 'firefox -g' should I try one of those and how could I get those to redirect their output? | 09:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest27542: then get back to the old profile, export the favourites and then delete the broken profile, you can then import the faves. You can then readd addons and stored passwords as you need | 09:47 |
| ActionParsnip | worldwarcheese: thats why MD5 exists | 09:47 |
| nuckle | ActionParsnip: you were right, I had packages missing, I installed everything with rar from the synaptic package manager and now it extracts. thanks again. | 09:47 |
| chalcedny | Guest27542, try /nick NickIWant like Nick JackSmith or Mary^^ | 09:48 |
| jedc | chalcedny, i think under System->Preferences->power management if you slide the sliders all to the right it should never put the display to sleep | 09:48 |
| mr_boo | a notifier appeared that stated "proprietary drivers available" and i accepted it. but then after restart ubuntu could only run in low graphics mode. is it a bug or have i screwed up? | 09:48 |
| ActionParsnip | nuckle: np bro, glad you got the gold | 09:48 |
| pkkm | Guest27542: 'command &> file' works on all commands. | 09:48 |
| chalcedny | jedc, ill try that but it didn't seem to do enough | 09:48 |
| === Guest27542 is now known as jayc | ||
| worldwarcheese | ActionParsnip: I know that now, and have used it before. I it was more to show how many times i've had them corrupted and thus how easy it is to have them so | 09:48 |
| jedc | mr_boo, go to System->administration->hardware drivers, click the one you want and click activate | 09:48 |
| jedc | chalcedny, is it a laptop? if so there is a tab for on battery power with different settings | 09:49 |
| pkkm | jayc: you can just do 'firefox --debux &> file' to redirect all output of firefox in debug mode | 09:49 |
| ActionParsnip | worldwarcheese: i have scripts to pull down both ISO and MD5 sum and do it all for me :) | 09:49 |
| mr_boo | jedc: only one is available and that was the one i chose after the notifier suggested it | 09:49 |
| sudobash | crap its still not working... | 09:49 |
| chalcedny | jedc, i think i didn't set the one for UPS power .. 23 minuts sounds like what it was .. it's a desktop | 09:49 |
| worldwarcheese | ActionParsnip: my envy is palpable, haha | 09:50 |
| chalcedny | jedc, thanks :) | 09:50 |
| pkkm | jayc: of course I meant --debug :) | 09:50 |
| jedc | chalcedny, np | 09:50 |
| kbp | does anyone know how to enable screenshot using PrtScr key? I reckon it's disable in Ubuntu 9.04 because my old Ubuntu 8.04 works fine | 09:50 |
| worldwarcheese | kbp: it works with my comp and I have 9.04 | 09:50 |
| chalcedny | kbp it works fine for me .. in 8.04 and 9.04 | 09:50 |
| ActionParsnip | worldwarcheese: not hard, its a script that takes an ISO http link and an MD5sum http link, it then works its magic. Quite simple | 09:50 |
| jedc | mr_boo, hmm, that probably means you video card or the driver is good enough for fancy graphics | 09:51 |
| jedc | mr_boo what type of card is it | 09:51 |
| worldwarcheese | ActionParsnip: another journey for another time, perhaps. I'll have to learn how to do that later (I'm still fretting over my eeebuntu install) | 09:51 |
| mr_boo | jedc: XFX Radeon HD4870 | 09:51 |
| kbp | ... ok thank you worldwarcheese and chalcedny maybe Compiz turned it off let me check... | 09:51 |
| kindofabuzz | ActionParsnip, send me that script? | 09:51 |
| kindofabuzz | would be nice to have | 09:51 |
| ActionParsnip | kindofabuzz: i just moved in so i have no WWW and my boxes arent connected | 09:52 |
| ActionParsnip | kindofabuzz: i can bash you one out | 09:52 |
| kindofabuzz | ActionParsnip, cool | 09:52 |
| worldwarcheese | kbp: possibly, are you in a full-screen video during it? or in "cube mode" because when I've taken them at those instances the box for the image save can be hidden under the videp | 09:52 |
| Polt{laptop} | you know what ... | 09:53 |
| Polt{laptop} | I give up | 09:53 |
| kbp | worldwarcheese: I'm just browsing a website and would like to take a screenshot to determine the hex value of the colour (so I can use later for my website :) ) | 09:53 |
| jayc | pkkm: huh so neither --debug or -g actually do anything...so much for that. I guess I'll just create a new profile and see what happens | 09:53 |
| Polt{laptop} | this is too frustrating | 09:53 |
| kindofabuzz | I made one of my folders shared in ~, but after every reboot it loses the share. what's going there? | 09:53 |
| Polt{laptop} | fsck tihs adfasdfnsafsa | 09:53 |
| FloodBot2 | Polt{laptop}: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 09:54 |
| Polt{laptop} | that wasn't a flood | 09:54 |
| Polt{laptop} | I'm beating my head on the keyboard right now | 09:54 |
| Polt{laptop} | I cannot find anything in firefox about what I am wanting to do | 09:54 |
| mr_boo | the funny this is that a popup notifier suggested me to activate the proprietary driver XD | 09:54 |
| pkkm | jayc: what firefox version have you got? | 09:54 |
| sudobash | im just going to try debian | 09:54 |
| ActionParsnip | kindofabuzz: http://pastebin.com/m2065d3d1 | 09:54 |
| chalcedny | Polt{laptop}, take 3 deep breaths, and then tell us about it in one line k? | 09:54 |
| kindofabuzz | ActionParsnip, thanks buddie | 09:55 |
| worldwarcheese | kbp: I'm not sure then. Have you gone to System>Preference>Keyboard yet | 09:55 |
| Polt{laptop} | my onboard gfx intel chip will not allow me to boot with the monitor I have. I cannot boot from the live dvd with grub, and I need to boot from the live dvd to upgrade my FS which I really really want to do | 09:55 |
| jedc | mr_boo, when you click on the driver in Hardware drivers, does it say anything in the description about working or not working in ubuntu? im having trouble finding info on that card with ubuntu online | 09:55 |
| ActionParsnip | kindofabuzz: the logic to strip the iso file from the link name took me ages to get so my md5sum line is a bit more graceful, but this script makes a folder to work in so should be ok. | 09:55 |
| jedc | mr_boo, might try deactivating it and see if that helps | 09:55 |
| kindofabuzz | kk | 09:55 |
| mr_boo | jedc: yes i'll do. thanx | 09:56 |
| jedc | mr_boo, nvidia cards have better support in ubuntu i think | 09:56 |
| Polt{laptop} | oh and my monitor will not display the flash screen because for some odd reason this junk acer monitor doesn't display it | 09:56 |
| jayc | 3.0.13 | 09:56 |
| Polt{laptop} | nor will it display windows | 09:56 |
| ActionParsnip | kindofabuzz: bang it in an executable file then you can use: <scriptname> http://address/file.iso http://address/MD5SUM | 09:56 |
| Polt{laptop} | it is a 19 inch acer that only works with certain things | 09:56 |
| jayc | pkkm: 3.0.13 (sorry for double) | 09:56 |
| jedc | mr_boo, failing that try downloading and running envyng-gtk it will download and install the newest ones hopefully | 09:56 |
| Polt{laptop} | I should sue them | 09:56 |
| ActionParsnip | kindofabuzz: then go for a shower or whatever | 09:56 |
| kindofabuzz | ActionParsnip, right on | 09:56 |
| kbp | worldwarcheese: I just came to keyboard shortcuts (as you said) and re-assigned again but it still doesn't work... ... | 09:56 |
| mr_boo | jedc: ok. thanx | 09:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Polt{laptop}: go for it, they'll laugh you out | 09:57 |
| tuxwulf | worldwarcheese: News? | 09:57 |
| Polt{laptop} | well to be honest for making a piece of junk that doesn't work and charging people money for it | 09:57 |
| Polt{laptop} | that's fraud | 09:57 |
| jedc | mr_boo, no problem good luck | 09:57 |
| Polt{laptop} | false advertisement | 09:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Polt{laptop}: no, youo have a warranty. ou can take it back and say its not fit for purpose. | 09:57 |
| sphenxes | How can I delete all my bookmarks in epiphany web browser at once? | 09:57 |
| Polt{laptop} | I did that already achadwick | 09:57 |
| Polt{laptop} | ActionParsnip | 09:57 |
| worldwarcheese | tuxwulf: Yeah, man. I got it to boot, and am having the netbook run a scan (just in case) before I finish it off. I am not taking any chances this late in the game ahah | 09:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Polt{laptop}: so no its not, you just made a bad choice and the seller understands that happens so gives you some period for which you can evaluate it | 09:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Polt{laptop}: so its in no way fraud | 09:58 |
| Polt{laptop} | they need some type of disclaimer that states that it will not work on pc's more than 4 years old | 09:58 |
| tuxwulf | worldwarcheese: Cool... | 09:58 |
| pkkm | jayc: for me, 'firefox --debug 2>&1 | tee file' works (that command starts firefox debug console while duplicating output to file - you see output in console and can type something, and output is also written to file) | 09:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Polt{laptop}: works on my systems circ 1999 | 09:59 |
| Polt{laptop} | and really will not work on i810 chipsets ... and barely works on the 8400 GS nvidia I have | 09:59 |
| chalcedny | Polt{laptop}, have you wandered over to their network at irc.mozilla.org (i think) ? #firefox might help you (be sure you don't have viruses first.. they always refer odd problems for virus scans ;) | 09:59 |

| ActionParsnip | UdarEC: anything from 10am to about 2pm | 09:59 |
| Polt{laptop} | the 8400 gs works great "in" linux | 09:59 |
| Polt{laptop} | can't use terminal screens though | 10:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Polt{laptop}: then you are in the wrong channel if your issue is a monitor | 10:00 |
| Polt{laptop} | they are all black | 10:00 |
| tuxwulf | worldwarcheese: Hehehe... | 10:00 |
| Polt{laptop} | I think it is all a combination thereof | 10:00 |

| tuxwulf | worldwarcheese: I got to go... have fun! | 10:00 |
| bazhang | Polt{laptop}, likely ##hardware this is Ubuntu support | 10:00 |
| worldwarcheese | tuxwulf: errors found in 98 systems, looks li was smart to test is | 10:00 |
| jedc | Polt{laptop} hehe, it works, it just isnt configured properly and/or doesnt have enough support yet | 10:00 |
| worldwarcheese | tuxwulf: thanks, d00d for all your help, it'll be done soon thanks to you | 10:00 |
| tuxwulf | worldwarcheese: No problem. Glad to be of help! | 10:01 |

| jayc | pkkm: I ran that command you gave. but firefox didn't actually start. Just some stuff about GNU gdb 6.8-debian | 10:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Polt{laptop}: you need LILO for that | 10:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Polt{laptop}: or grub2 | 10:02 |
| Polt{laptop} | it says grub ... | 10:02 |
| safad | hi | 10:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Polt{laptop}: afaik, grub can't boot ISO files | 10:02 |
| safad | am a web developer | 10:03 |
| Polt{laptop} | no but it should be able to boot the actual dvd | 10:03 |
| safad | and i wanna find wysiwyg IDE | 10:03 |
| Polt{laptop} | as a dvd | 10:03 |
| jayc | pkkm: should I already have firefox open when I run that command? | 10:03 |
| kindofabuzz | ActionParsnip, hmm doesn't do anything. i made it an exec then ./md5check.sh <iso location> <md5 location> | 10:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Polt{laptop}: not all bootloaders can boot all media | 10:03 |
| safad | can anyone tell me about ? | 10:03 |
| pkkm | jayc: I think no | 10:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Polt{laptop}: so if grub doesnt suit your needs you need a different boot loader, frankly i'm baffled why grub is default | 10:04 |
| pkkm | jayc: when gdb console appears, type 'run' an press enter, and when you are asked to press q or enter, press enter | 10:04 |
| ActionParsnip | kindofabuzz: and you used full locations of actual files? | 10:04 |
| jedc | Polt{laptop} yea i couldnt even get ubuntu onto an old viao i have because it doesnt support boot from usb and no cdrom drive | 10:04 |
| kindofabuzz | ActionParsnip, well i figured wht the problem was, i never pasted the scipt into the .sh lol | 10:04 |
| safad | guys ? | 10:04 |
| MadGirl | somebody said guys was there step by step guide how to install gentoo | 10:04 |
| bazhang | MadGirl, #gentoo | 10:05 |
| vagothcpp | How can I mount a directory and give it permissions to users? | 10:05 |
| worldwarcheese | safad: sorry, id like to help but i don't even know what it is you're asking about | 10:05 |
| ActionParsnip | kindofabuzz: e.g.: ./md5check.sh http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/9.04/release/xubuntu-9.04-desktop-i386.iso http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/9.04/release/MD5SUMS | 10:05 |
| jayc | pkkm: typed run and just got a screenful of '(no debugging symbols found)' and then 'program exited normally.' | 10:05 |
| voltagex | I'm using the Alpha 3 livecd, it's only detecting one of my hard drives - any ideas? | 10:06 |
| ActionParsnip | kindofabuzz: you dont need to have .sh on the end, unless you need to know (for yourself) its a shell script | 10:06 |
| ActionParsnip | !karmic | voltagex | 10:06 |
| ubottu | voltagex: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 | 10:06 |
| bazhang | voltagex, #ubuntu+1 for karmic | 10:06 |
| kindofabuzz | ActionParsnip, yeah thanks, yeah i made the file but never pasted your code into it hehe | 10:06 |
| kindofabuzz | ActionParsnip, working good now | 10:06 |
| jedc | safad, maybe nvu? i havent used it but found it here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=256604 also mentions bluefish | 10:06 |
| Saouka | MadGirl: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/ | 10:06 |
| richardcavell | voltagex: there have been many updates since the alpha 3 live CD | 10:06 |
| pkkm | jayc: in my case, there is a screen full of '(no debugging symbols found)', and after that some process info and firefox starts. | 10:08 |
| Polt{laptop} | ok I just answered my own question everyone | 10:08 |
| vagothcpp | Rephrase, How do I mount a harddrive and give rights to a user to modify files | 10:08 |
| ActionParsnip | kindofabuzz: you may need to change the code if i put MD5SUM instead of MD5SUMS | 10:08 |
| Polt{laptop} | smart boot manager everyone | 10:08 |
| Polt{laptop} | make a note of that | 10:08 |
| Polt{laptop} | if you can't boot your live dvd | 10:08 |
| Polt{laptop} | use smart boot manager | 10:08 |
| kindofabuzz | ActionParsnip, yeah i just noticed that. | 10:08 |
| FloodBot2 | Polt{laptop}: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 10:08 |
| Polt{laptop} | on a floppy disk | 10:08 |
| pkkm | jayc: maybe they can help you on #firefox | 10:08 |
| jayc | pkkm: yeah that just happened to me. for some reason it worked the second time. got firefox to run in debug | 10:08 |
| ActionParsnip | vagothcpp: sudo mkdit /media/stuff; sudo mount /dev/<partition name> /media/stuff -o uid=1000,rw,user | 10:08 |
| ActionParsnip | vagothcpp: if its ntfs then you will need: sudo mkdir /media/stuff; sudo mount /dev/<partition name> /media/stuff -t ntfs-3g -o uid=1000,rw,user | 10:09 |
| dopper | ActionParsnip: so you're saying there's other boot loaders that can boot .iso images out there? Would you recommend grub2 or lilo? | 10:09 |
| ActionParsnip | vagothcpp: the top command is also mkdir, not mkdit | 10:09 |
| vagothcpp | Thanks ActionParsnip but its a vbox mount | 10:09 |
| vagothcpp | I gathererd ;p | 10:09 |
| ActionParsnip | dopper: i'd shoot for lilo persnally, grubw2 is good if you know how to use it to its full potential | 10:09 |
| pkkm | jayc: does it work when you launch it from menu? | 10:10 |
| ActionParsnip | dopper: if you just want to boot to linux then grub2 is not hugely beneficial | 10:10 |
| bubu | hi | 10:10 |
| vagothcpp | what is uid? | 10:10 |
| jayc | pkkm: firefox? yeah. i got it to run with GNU gdb last time. Got some output but I'm not sure if it means anythiing. Ends with Segmentation Fault. | 10:10 |
| jayc | pkkm: should I add to pastebin? | 10:10 |
| jedc | dopper, grub2 is newest grub, my understanding is lilo is not as full featured but i had to use it to run the unstable versions sometimes when grub didnt work | 10:11 |
| pkkm | jayc: It wouldn't tell me anything | 10:12 |
| dopper | ActionParsnip: I'm using grub legacy to boot several OS's atm. (including osx86, linux, winxp and vista) It does everything I need except for booting .iso's and I see grub2 supports .jpg and .png splash images as well. | 10:12 |
| ActionParsnip | jedc: grub and lilo are different and each have features the other doesnt | 10:12 |
| vagothcpp | " sudo mount -t vboxsf GearOS /GearOS -o uid=1000,rw,vagoth unknown mount option `vagoth'" | 10:12 |
| jedc | ActionParsnip, ah, what does lilo have that grub doesnt? | 10:12 |
| jayc | pkkm: fair enough | 10:12 |
| psiborg | weird i never knew about that dcc exploit... | 10:12 |
| ActionParsnip | dopper: i'm so disinterested by splash images | 10:12 |
| vagothcpp | jedc: LILO seems a bit old, I still prefer it over GRUB though | 10:13 |
| jado | does someone know a good text-to-speech program that speaks french? | 10:13 |
| vagothcpp | jado: That will be hard to come across | 10:13 |
| jado | vagothcpp: why? | 10:13 |
| dopper | jedc & ActionParsnip: thanks I'll take a look at lilo and grub2 to see which one best fits my needs | 10:13 |
| kindofabuzz | ActionParsnip, is it possible to take that script and set a download speed? | 10:13 |
| pkkm | jayc: I tyhink reinstalling firefox is necessary | 10:13 |
| pkkm | *think | 10:13 |

| jayc | ppkm: ok so this doesn't really make any sense. before doing the reinstall and backup i decided to go through enabling and disabling all my plugins and extensions one-by-one. Turns out ABP was causing the crashes. | 10:19 |
| jedc | ive answered your question twice now safad | 10:19 |
| jayc | Doesn't really make sense though since the crashes started two weeks ago and i've had Adblock installed for 4 months | 10:19 |

| kubu | please help on how to save the public key pgp given my kubuntu repo to my source.list | 10:19 |
| bazhang | vagothcpp, for learning the !factoids, /msg ubottu | 10:20 |
| vagothcpp | Executing this command: "vagoth@vagodesk64:~$ sudo mount -t vboxsf GearOS /GearOS -o uid=1000,rw,vagoth" I get this error "unknown mount option `vagoth'" | 10:20 |
| vagothcpp | bazhang: It was just a random guess =P | 10:20 |
| pkkm | jayc: are you sure Adblock is crashing? | 10:20 |
| minixi | vagothcpp, of course. vagoth isn't a mount option | 10:21 |
| minixi | vagothcpp, what exactly *is* vagoth? | 10:21 |
| safad | Sorry I Don't Stay Reading | 10:21 |
| vagothcpp | minixi: My username | 10:21 |
| safad | I Don't Wan't These | 10:21 |
| safad | I Have NetBeans | 10:21 |
| safad | What I Need | 10:21 |
| minixi | vagothcpp, and why would you include your username as a mount option? | 10:21 |
| vagothcpp | I am trying to mount so my user can access the mount | 10:21 |
| safad | SomeThing Like DreamWaver | 10:21 |
| ActionParsnip1 | vagothcpp: change it to user | 10:21 |
| bazhang | !enter| safad | 10:21 |
| vagothcpp | See about^ | 10:21 |
| ubottu | safad: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 10:21 |
| jayc | pkkm: the most consistent i could get it to crash was when i started to type maps.google.com into the location bar. Now I've reenabled everything except ABP and I typed in (and went to) googlemaps fine | 10:21 |
| kindofabuzz | jayc, there are known problems in the newest adblock plus. they reccomend going back to 1.02(?) or install the dev version or just wait until new relese soon | 10:22 |
| safad | waiting for load and sorry | 10:22 |
| vagothcpp | "unknown mount option `user'" | 10:22 |
| ActionParsnip1 | safad: bluefish is ok | 10:22 |
| ActionParsnip1 | vagothcpp: just omit it then | 10:22 |
| minixi | vagothcpp, your user can access the mount even if root mounts it | 10:22 |
| pkkm | jayc: I think your problem is solved then | 10:22 |
| jayc | kindofabuzz: oof...I'm such a fool. Thanks everyone. | 10:22 |
| vagothcpp | I can't change files though | 10:22 |
| safad | i don't wan't these kind of editors i wan't a real wysiwyg like dreamwaver | 10:22 |
| mocas | Hi there, | 10:22 |
| mocas | odbcinst | 10:22 |
| mocas | odbcinst: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory | 10:22 |
| mocas | Any ideias? | 10:23 |
| FloodBot2 | mocas: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 10:23 |
| jayc | pkkm: thanks a bunch. learned a lot of useful terminal commands now ;) | 10:23 |
| bazhang | safad, then use dreamweaver via wine | 10:23 |
| minixi | vagothcpp, that's about permissions of the files/directories, not the mounted volume/partition itself | 10:23 |
| safad | not very fabulous | 10:23 |
| pkkm | jayc: no problem :) | 10:23 |
| safad | i wan't to get out of the windows nightmare and its software | 10:23 |
| vagothcpp | minixi: I see, so why does root control them? | 10:23 |
| minixi | safad, then you'll have to read :) | 10:23 |
| bazhang | safad, those are your options. please dont keep repeating. | 10:23 |
| minixi | vagothcpp, why does root control what? which files? | 10:24 |
| ActionParsnip1 | safad: thats what bluefish is | 10:24 |
| shah16 | safad : how about quanta, nvu and bluefish | 10:24 |
| vagothcpp | minixi: Everything in the mount | 10:24 |
| ActionParsnip1 | safad: or you can use openoffice to write html | 10:24 |
| ActionParsnip1 | safad: there may be ones we dont know that are lurking around. See what you can find | 10:25 |
| minixi | vagothcpp, you aren't making sense. You need to be the superuser (root) to mount the partition. After that the individual file/directory permissions control acess to themselves | 10:25 |
| pkkm | safad: Amaya is really WYSIWYG, it's easy to use but powerful, and it's developed by W3C (guys who made web standards) | 10:25 |
| ActionParsnip1 | minixi: no need for root, just use sudo | 10:25 |
| muxx | hi guys. I would really appreciate some help. I have installed xubuntu jaunty on my elderly laptop and discovered that DMA on the HDD doesn work. during disc operations CPU load is 100%. hdparm -i reports that DMA is on, but when I try to get/set it, I get ioctl error. there is no DMA setting in BIOS. both the chipset and the HDD support DMA. I googled out some complaints about libata, but could not solve it myself. please help | 10:25 |
| safad | read what (sorry again blind) quanta-aptana-nvu-bluefish-screem all the same just colored words i use NetBeans In This But I Need something when i design tables alignement i see what am doing | 10:25 |
| minixi | vagothcpp, your problem isn't with mounting, it's with the permissions of the files you are trying to access | 10:25 |
| ActionParsnip1 | muxx: try some boot options | 10:25 |
| ActionParsnip1 | !bootoptions > muxx | 10:25 |
| ubottu | muxx, please see my private message | 10:25 |
| vagothcpp | minixi: Okay, I mount the directory to my vbox share, now if ifs the permissions, how do I change them? | 10:25 |
| safad | o so openoffice has wysiwyg html | 10:26 |
| minixi | ActionParsnip, that's why I said "superuser" the second time. I forget this is debian lite sometimes ;) | 10:26 |
| safad | ok i will try it out | 10:26 |
| ActionParsnip1 | safad: i know it can save as html, like MS Word can | 10:26 |
| muxx | !!bootoptions | 10:26 |
| ubottu | For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions | 10:26 |
| minixi | vagothcpp, chown vagoth:vagoth <filename> | 10:26 |
| minixi | vagothcpp, that's one way. Or you can grant permissions with "chmod" | 10:26 |
| vagothcpp | minix: How do I change each file in the directory also? | 10:27 |
| jedc | vagothcpp that changes owner, chmod -R 777 filename gives all permissions to everyone | 10:27 |
| minixi | vagothcpp, chown vagoth:vagoth * | 10:27 |
| ActionParsnip1 | vagothcpp: or you can do the whole lot with: sudo chmod -R $USER:$USER /mount/point | 10:27 |
| ActionParsnip1 | vagothcpp: all you have to change is the mount point | 10:27 |
| pkkm | safad: I think editor like Amaya would be better than exporting open office documents as html (export 1 letter in word as html and see how much useless stuff it adds...) | 10:27 |
| jedc | vaothcpp, that does it recursively | 10:27 |
| minixi | jedc, let him change the owner, not 777 perms on all files ... | 10:27 |
| minixi | oh god | 10:27 |
| ActionParsnip1 | minixi: never 777 | 10:27 |
| joaopinto | jedc, chmod -R 777 is a terrible suggestion | 10:28 |
| jedc | minixi, yes, i would change owner, but it depends on what he wants | 10:28 |
| safad | yeah its really dead so amaya | 10:28 |
| vagothcpp | Thanks the 3 of you | 10:28 |
| safad | i will test then report back | 10:28 |
| Pranky | E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg received a segmentation fault. | 10:28 |
| joaopinto | jedc, you don't want to change 777 recursively, if you do, you don't understand what you are doing | 10:28 |
| minixi | vagothcpp, don't indiscriminately "chmod 777" on files | 10:28 |
| Pranky | I am upgrading 6.04 to 9.04. Please tell me the command to upgrade ubuntu | 10:28 |
| jedc | i understand that it gives all permissions to all users... | 10:29 |
| ActionParsnip1 | !upgrade | Pranky | 10:29 |
| ubottu | Pranky: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading | 10:29 |
| joaopinto | jedc, in an unrecoverable and dangerous way | 10:29 |
| ActionParsnip1 | jedc: yes including everyone ever | 10:29 |
| minixi | jedc, honestly, read up on permissions before you start giving advice like that ... please | 10:29 |
| vagothcpp | " chmod: invalid mode: `vagoth:vagoth' " | 10:29 |
| jedc | but you can change it back | 10:29 |
| minixi | vagothcpp, chown | 10:29 |
| ActionParsnip1 | vagothcpp: use chmod $USER:$USER | 10:29 |
| vagothcpp | running Sugestions By ActionParsnip1 | 10:29 |
| joaopinto | jedc, no you can't because you don't know the previous permissios for EACH file | 10:29 |
| jedc | vagothcpp use chown vagoth:vagoth | 10:29 |
| minixi | ActionParsnip, uh, no. chown | 10:30 |
| safad | yeah amaya looks great | 10:30 |
| joaopinto | jedc, a recursive chown is reversible assuming your targer is owned by the same user/group, a chmod, is not | 10:30 |
| joaopinto | target | 10:30 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Pranky: you will need to upgrade through each release sequentially and will take AGES from 6.04. I'd go for a clean install | 10:30 |
| jedc | joaopinto, oh i see what you mean, you can still change it to something else, just not back to how it was | 10:30 |
| vagothcpp | chown doesnt work, sudo chown $USER:$USER /GearOS | 10:30 |
| minixi | Why do ppl want to introduce things people aren't asking. Help them with their immediate problem, don't set them on the path to bork themselves | 10:30 |
| Pranky | Actually I have to install through terminal | 10:30 |
| joaopinto | jedc, the problem is that permissions can not be set to "something elese", they must be set according to the expected security and behavior | 10:31 |
| Pranky | not sequentially release | 10:31 |
| joaopinto | not recursively | 10:31 |
| Pranky | I want to upgrade directly to 9.04, please help me | 10:31 |
| bazhang | Pranky, no one-step for that one | 10:31 |
| joaopinto | eg. chmod 777 will set "execute" which is intended for binaries, on text files | 10:31 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Pranky: not possible | 10:31 |
| minixi | vagothcpp, "doesn't work" means nothing to us | 10:31 |
| bazhang | Pranky, please read the links above | 10:31 |
| ShishKabab | Hello. dpkg is getting slower and slower. Can I defragment the dpkg database somehow? | 10:32 |
| jedc | jaopinto, yes, my bad | 10:32 |
| vagothcpp | minixi: Well, root still owns it | 10:32 |
| iceroot | why can root read and write files with (chmod) 000? is the check for root disabled? | 10:32 |
| Pranky | ok, is it not possible to direct 9.04 | 10:32 |
| ActionParsnip1 | 777 also gives read access to anyone with access to the pc no matter whom they are | 10:32 |
| minixi | vagothcpp, try it with one file | 10:32 |
| bazhang | Pranky, have you read the links yet? | 10:32 |
| jedc | iceroot, because root owns all files, even ones owned by other people | 10:32 |
| Pranky | nope, I am just reading | 10:32 |
| kubu | please help on how to save the public pgp key given by kubuntu repo to my source.list | 10:32 |
| iceroot | jedc: a user is owning some files too, but cant handle the files if it is set to 000 | 10:33 |
| minixi | it's a stupid suggestion. First, you don't need all files executable | 10:33 |
| vagothcpp | No, root is still the owner | 10:33 |
| koolhead | hi all | 10:33 |
| minixi | it's dumb and a security risk | 10:33 |
| bazhang | !gpgerr > kubu | 10:33 |
| ubottu | kubu, please see my private message | 10:33 |
| koolhead | jaunty has no modusb module | 10:33 |
| koolhead | :( | 10:33 |
| Pranky | oh... I have read it | 10:33 |
| jedc | iceroot, well, i suppose if you set to 000 if root couldnt do anything then you could never modify the fie again so that is whay | 10:33 |
| jedc | why* | 10:33 |
| minixi | vagothcpp, no error message, nothing? | 10:33 |
| minixi | vagothcpp, I don't believe you. Did you do it as root? | 10:34 |
| vagothcpp | Yes, | 10:34 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Pranky: you must upgrade through each release to rteach jaunty. this is how canonical advise to do it | 10:34 |
| vagothcpp | No error message | 10:34 |
| Pranky | bazhang: I have edit the source.list file to hardy and command upgrade | 10:34 |
| iceroot | jedc: yes, its a good think so you cant destroy the system but i found that interesting that the chmod settings dont take effect | 10:34 |
| koolhead | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/345002 | 10:34 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Pranky: you can and it will do it but you may get a weird system | 10:34 |
| minixi | vagothcpp, what type of partition is it? | 10:34 |
| koolhead | hey iceroot | 10:34 |
| Pranky | ok | 10:34 |
| vagothcpp | minixi: The mount? | 10:34 |
| stratovarius | hi all | 10:34 |
| Pranky | now please tell me how would I check which version is presently now | 10:34 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Pranky: i dont advise it though | 10:34 |
| minixi | vagothcpp, yes, what is the filesystem? | 10:34 |
| vagothcpp | The mount dir* | 10:34 |

| vagothcpp | ActionParsnip1: I only use it to modify files on my vbox shared folder which are source files | 10:37 |
| minixi | vagothcpp, anyway. What is the output of "mount"? Put it in pastebin | 10:38 |
| bazhang | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes <----- Pranky read the hardyupgrades link | 10:38 |
| vagothcpp | minixi: There is no output | 10:38 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Pranky: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 10:38 |
| Pranky | Got it.. Thanks | 10:38 |
| bazhang | Pranky, You are welcome. | 10:38 |
| gogeta | vagothcpp: you can always look up root xorg and get alot of reasions why | 10:38 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Pranky: you'll want: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 10:38 |
| minixi | vagothcpp, you are telling me when you type "sudo mount" into terminal window you get nothing? | 10:38 |
| minixi | Again, I don't believe you. | 10:39 |
| ActionParsnip1 | minixi: users can run mount on its own | 10:39 |
| minixi | ActionParsnip1, honestly, you are adding nothing to this | 10:39 |
| vagothcpp | minixi: when I run my mount command I get no output | 10:39 |
| vagothcpp | if I dont give it any arguments I get a help list | 10:39 |
| Otacon22 | Does exist a decent video editor for linux ? | 10:39 |
| gogeta | ActionParsnip1: lol | 10:39 |
| Pranky | ActionParsnipl: Exactly this one :) | 10:39 |
| ActionParsnip1 | vagothcpp: mount on its own will show you what is mounted, you r / partition and swap partitions for example | 10:39 |
| gogeta | !avidemux | 10:39 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about avidemux | 10:39 |

| ActionParsnip1 | minixi: just telling you it doesnt need sudo, not all cli commands need sudo | 10:40 |
| Otacon22 | i want to insert music and photos in videos | 10:40 |
| stratovarius | pinnacle 60e ... can it work with ubuntu 9.04? | 10:40 |
| Otacon22 | avidemux don't does it | 10:40 |
| gogeta | OttifantSir: so they can do that | 10:40 |
| Otacon22 | *doesn't it | 10:40 |
| minixi | vagothcpp, oh jeez .... dude, something is mounted. Don't tell me it isn't | 10:40 |

| minixi | ActionParsnip1, ok. I'm getting fed up with the guy, not you :) | 10:40 |
| ActionParsnip1 | vagothcpp: you will have at least 8 or 9 things mounted | 10:41 |

| gogeta | OttifantSir: droping pics can be a bit tricky | 10:41 |
| grouse | man linux | 10:41 |
| ActionParsnip1 | vagothcpp: ok so its mounted ok | 10:41 |
| jedc | is there an easy way to regenerate the default sources.list file? | 10:41 |
| Pranky | ActionParsnip1: what I do now? | 10:41 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Pranky: then you are running jaunty | 10:42 |
| Pranky | How can I check that each and every thing is perfectly fine? | 10:42 |
| jedc | Pranky, lsb_release -a gives a little more information | 10:42 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Pranky: sudo apt-get -f install | 10:42 |
| Pranky | cat /etc/isssue give me this output Ubuntu 9.04 \n \l | 10:42 |

| ActionParsnip1 | stratovarius: ok thats cool, if you websearch for the ID then you will find guides | 10:43 |
| vagothcpp | ActionParsnip1: So it's mounted, just not *NORMALLY* writeable by users. | 10:44 |
| minixi | vagothcpp, I got the answer in 4 seconds by googling "vboxsf permissions" | 10:44 |
| Polt{laptop} | well, today's ext4 upgrade is scrapped because I do not have any floppy disks and I need to have a floppy disk to use dd to load the smart boot manager | 10:44 |
| ActionParsnip1 | vagothcpp: correct, you have bad mount options if you want users to write | 10:44 |
| Polt{laptop} | if I had that on a floppy disk it would function kind of like a rescue disk and I could boot into the dvd | 10:44 |
| minixi | vagothcpp, linux isn't for you if you don't want to do your own learning. Stick to windows | 10:45 |
| gogeta | Polt{laptop}: lol | 10:45 |
| richardcavell | minixi: cut that out | 10:45 |
| Polt{laptop} | doomed from the beginning | 10:45 |
| Polt{laptop} | :S | 10:45 |
| Polt{laptop} | oh well | 10:45 |
| richardcavell | minixi: let's leave linux snobbery on the slackware and debian channels | 10:45 |
| gogeta | Polt{laptop}: you shhure you can usb boot | 10:45 |
| minixi | richardcavell, why? He has repeatedly asked simple questions that have been answered | 10:45 |
| jedc | minixi, isnt he doing his own learning by coming here? | 10:45 |
| Polt{laptop} | I will get some floppies tomorrow or another day | 10:45 |
| gogeta | can | 10:45 |
| Polt{laptop} | gogeta I don't have a usb stick to boot from | 10:45 |
| vagothcpp | minixi: You don't know me to make that ludicrous presumption, I just was using a different search pattern *that obviously didnt work* | 10:45 |
| minixi | richardcavell, then, when asked for output of commands says "there isn't any" | 10:45 |
| gogeta | Polt{laptop}: then cdboot | 10:46 |
| Polt{laptop} | I can boot from floppy | 10:46 |
| Polt{laptop} | I can't cdboot | 10:46 |
| ActionParsnip1 | vagothcpp: +1 | 10:46 |
| minixi | vagothcpp, then, if you have more than one brain cell, why wouldn't you google "vboxsf permissions"? | 10:46 |
| Polt{laptop} | it won't read the dvd | 10:46 |
| gogeta | Polt{laptop}: ? | 10:46 |

| ActionParsnip1 | Pranky: use that in future for multilined pastes | 10:51 |
| Pranky | Sure, Thanks Action | 10:51 |
| gogeta | Polt{laptop}: it leaves a better inpression on the disk making it easer for a old drive to read it | 10:51 |
| ActionParsnip1 | indus: dont know, dont care. any pastebin will do | 10:51 |
| bazhang | Pranky, that is not the way to do it | 10:51 |

| === rek_ is now known as Nukker | ||
| Pranky | Fresh install how? | 10:53 |
| jedc | Blinkiz, yes, that would work i guess, run sudo dhclient eth0 and the one that plugged in will give you an address | 10:53 |
| gogeta | ActionParsnip1: he can go from lts to ts without issue | 10:53 |

| mr_boo | i think the XFX Radeon HD4870 is too new to work with ubuntu 8.04.3 | 10:56 |
| ActionParsnip1 | mr_boo: www.ati.com | 10:56 |
| mr_boo | should i upgrade to ubuntu 8.10? | 10:56 |
| jedc | Kapli, if you click the network icon in upper right does it show you access points? if so it is working | 10:57 |
| jdb | mr_boo: i'd try 9.04 | 10:57 |
| indus | mr_boo: yes always use latest for cutting edge hardware | 10:57 |
| gogeta | 8.004 is lts you can stick w it | 10:57 |
| indus | mr_boo: use 9.04 | 10:57 |
| mr_boo | ActionParsnip1: have already tried catalyst 8.8 | 10:57 |
| Kapli | no its grayed out | 10:57 |
| Norky | I suppose I'm looking for a list of available packages, but I can't find it on the main Ubuntu web site | 10:57 |
| mr_boo | indus: is that released as beta? | 10:57 |
| Norky | or an ftp directory | 10:57 |
| indus | mr_boo: no 9.04 is the current stable release | 10:57 |
| indus | released in april 2009 | 10:57 |
| mr_boo | indus: how do i approach from within 8.04? | 10:58 |
| gogeta | indus: kinda | 10:58 |
| ActionParsnip1 | mr_boo: https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ati-driver-installer-9-7-x86.x86_64.run seems to support it (32bit for that link) | 10:58 |
| indus | mr_boo: need to uprade to 8.10 first then to 9.04 | 10:58 |
| ActionParsnip1 | and 64bit by the name | 10:58 |
| mr_boo | indus: ah | 10:58 |
| eoke | Blinkiz: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/ubuntu-linux-view-the-status-of-my-network-interfacescard.html | 10:58 |
| ActionParsnip1 | mr_boo: need xorg 6.7 at least | 10:58 |
| gogeta | mr_boo: in your update manager change he dist upgrade from lts to relese | 10:58 |
| jedc | mr_boo or fresh install 9.04 is probably easier if you dont have much to backup | 10:58 |
| Blinkiz | eoke, I got the answer from #ubuntu-server. Solution is to run "mii-tool" | 10:59 |
| parolkar | How can one find out which machine is consuming most bandwidth in network? | 10:59 |
| indus | mr_boo: or if you are adventourous enough you can try the latest drivers on 8.04 direct from ATI | 10:59 |
| mr_boo | my update manager doesn't ever suggest new ubuntu releases | 10:59 |
| indus | gogeta: good point | 10:59 |
| mr_boo | tbh i though i had 8.10 at least but i didn't | 10:59 |
| indus | mr_boo: do a sudo update-manager -d | 10:59 |
| indus | mr_boo: you will get it | 10:59 |
| Polt{laptop} | man I hate windows | 10:59 |
| gogeta | mr_boo: its currently set to only inform you of a lts relese | 10:59 |

| Norky | n/m, I've found it | 11:00 |
| Polt{laptop} | I need to reboot | 11:00 |
| indus | mr_boo: or easiest is to change option in software sources from LTS to standard | 11:00 |
| mr_boo | indus: that command seemed to work | 11:01 |
| bazhang | indus, that is not recommended, please dont advise here | 11:01 |
| indus | mr_boo: ya i know :) | 11:01 |
| indus | bazhang: which one? | 11:01 |

| bazhang | indus, the changing sources.list one | 11:01 |
| Norky | perhaps I should just tell my colleague to use a different distro instead of Ubuntu, if this is the response he'll get ;) | 11:01 |
| gogeta | bazhang: he said change it from lts to standerd | 11:02 |
| mr_boo | intresting that one has to launch the update manager with those commands to get the upgrade suggestion | 11:02 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Pranky: sudo dpkg --configure -a | 11:02 |
| gogeta | bazhang: not edit the sources | 11:02 |
| indus | bazhang: what? its changable from gui | 11:02 |
| hvnqke_work | for some reason my ethernet stopped working when I got back from vacation. Nobody's touched the machine but me. According to lshw it's called a "82566MM Gigabit Network Connection" from Intel Corporation and the driver is e1000e. What happens is that when I plug in an ethernet cable it is not immediately recognized - I have to manually select Auto eth0 from my network-manager combobox. Then it gets two green dots for a long time and then f | 11:02 |
| hvnqke_work | ails to connect. | 11:02 |
| mr_boo | no wonder my new hardware isn't supported in this old ubuntu of mine | 11:02 |
| bazhang | indus, listen to gogeta | 11:02 |
| indus | bazhang: its a simple option | 11:02 |
| jedc | mr_boo, there is a new release every 6 months also | 11:02 |
| Pranky | ActionParsnip1, It does nothing! | 11:02 |
| indus | listen to gogeta? ok what am i missing | 11:02 |
| mickster04 | hello indus | 11:02 |
| gogeta | indus: its recomended to do it from the update manager | 11:03 |

| ActionParsnip1 | Pranky: fine | 11:04 |
| scriptwarlock | indus: hello | 11:04 |

| mr_boo | i've had issues with this before | 11:04 |

| ActionParsnip1 | jado: espeak | 11:04 |
| mr_boo | gogeta: neat. must be a new feature then | 11:04 |
| indus | scriptwarlock: hello | 11:04 |
| jado | ActionParsnip1: espeak does not sound well | 11:05 |
| fuzzybunny | hey everyone for some reason I can get on the internet but I cannot ping my brothers computer on our lan until he pings me or I add him into my arp table. Does anyone know what would cause this? | 11:05 |
| ActionParsnip1 | jado: thats all i m aware of. try: apt-cache search text to speech or ask in #ubuntu-fr | 11:05 |
| gogeta | mr_boo: in your update manager go to settings at the bottom where it says relese upgrade change it to normal | 11:05 |
| gogeta | mr_boo: then hit check and it should tell you thers a new distro | 11:06 |
| indus | gogeta: he already got it to show 8.10 | 11:06 |
| scriptwarlock | indus: whats the problem? | 11:06 |
| MadGirl | it has been said that the problem is it just decided to stopp working here. an ebuild failed and now emerge gives me '/usr/bin/emerge: line 8: try:: command not found'. am i stuck doing a full rebuild? | 11:06 |
| indus | gogeta: but yeah next time it wont show upgrade to 9.04 | 11:06 |
| gogeta | mr_boo: itss not new when you dist upgrade it cleans old stuff | 11:06 |
| indus | scriptwarlock: nothing | 11:06 |
| bazhang | MadGirl, #gentoo not here | 11:06 |
| gogeta | indus: it will | 11:06 |

| bazhang | MadGirl, no emerge in ubuntu | 11:06 |
| indus | scriptwarlock: hmm really? | 11:07 |

| mm2000 | Hi there, anyone knows a good guide how to setup a samba server on ubuntu for sharing files to a windows-box? | 11:07 |
| gogeta | mr_boo: you go to 8.10 then to 9.04 | 11:07 |
| jedc | MadGirl, ubuntu used apt-get, with front-ends synaptic and aptitude | 11:08 |
| indus | mr_boo: so if you have a really fast conection,its fine to do 2 steps,but otherwise,you can just directly install 9.04 with fresh cd provided you have backups | 11:08 |
| ActionParsnip1 | mm2000: simple, sudo apt-get install samba | 11:08 |
| mm2000 | ActionParsnip1: Setup. not install... | 11:09 |
| indus | ActionParsnip1: i wonder why they call a cli a front end (aptitude) | 11:09 |

| scriptwarlock | guys this what are my problems on 9.04. i tried to install it on my cafe but cant figure out the strange behaviour of network manager | 11:09 |
| gogeta | scriptwarlock: wifi bugs? | 11:10 |
| scriptwarlock | thats why i install on my cafe the stable 8.04lts | 11:10 |
| mm2000 | ActionParsnip1: ffs. | 11:10 |
| scriptwarlock | gogeta: not actually its a lan | 11:10 |

| mr_boo | indus: i see. many thanks | 11:10 |
| gogeta | scriptwarlock: well lts go threw alot more testin | 11:10 |

| gogeta | scriptwarlock: if its not broke dont fix it | 11:10 |
| gogeta | lol | 11:11 |
| indus | mr_boo: have you tried latest ati driver from site on your 8.04 ubuntu? | 11:11 |
| gogeta | scriptwarlock: just go sright to the next lts | 11:11 |
| ActionParsnip1 | mm2000: ? | 11:11 |
| scriptwarlock | gogeta: on 8.04 i can easily irc and configure iptable but in 9.04 its diffrent its all autolo | 11:11 |
| mr_boo | indus: yes | 11:11 |

| indus | mr_boo: ok ,you mean the latest ati drivers have a problem? | 11:12 |
| gogeta | bugs | 11:12 |
| mr_boo | indus: with 8.04.3 ubuntu obviously | 11:12 |
| ActionParsnip1 | mm2000: if you add that to the bottom of the file, save the file then run: sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart then the foilder /home/andy/public will be shared | 11:12 |

| mm2000 | ActionParsnip1: The thing is that I have tried similar but simply cant make it work. | 11:13 |
| bazhang | mistereverywhere, with or without compiz | 11:13 |
| gogeta | scriptwarlock: lan isnt all auto btw you can still do it by hand if nedded | 11:13 |
| indus | mr_boo: i dont think then that the drivers will work any better in 9.04,but yes,it will be extremely easy to just click and install via the hardware devices wizard | 11:13 |
| ActionParsnip1 | mm2000: you can also change guest ok to no then use smbpasswd to add security with usernames and passwords which will help protect your data | 11:13 |

| mistereverywhere | bazhang without | 11:13 |
| jedc | mistereverywhere, what version of ubuntu are you using and do you know what kind of video card you are using? | 11:13 |
| ActionParsnip1 | mm2000: try running: sudo smbpasswd -a $USER | 11:13 |
| gogeta | indus: 9.10 is supposed to do alot for driver issue | 11:13 |
| ActionParsnip1 | mm2000: then type the same password as you log in for each prompt | 11:13 |
| scriptwarlock | gogeta: yeah but sometimes it goes back to default setings..i hope it wont happen in the coming lts | 11:13 |
| bazhang | mistereverywhere, which video card, which driver, how installed; is this jaunty | 11:13 |
| mr_boo | indus: probably yes | 11:13 |
| gogeta | scriptwarlock: anything befor lts is testing anyways | 11:14 |
| scriptwarlock | gogeta: yeah right | 11:14 |
| indus | gogeta: well,i was wondering --- he used the latest drivers from ati site,how can it perform any better in 9.04,its the same driver | 11:14 |
| gogeta | scriptwarlock: may be stable but its still one huge beta for the next lts | 11:14 |
| Pranky | ActionParsnip1, http://ww.pastebin.com/m501b6934... | 11:14 |
| gogeta | indus: 9.04 drivers are slower | 11:15 |
| gogeta | indus: a issue | 11:15 |
| mistereverywhere | bazhang, jedc 9.04.14 i believe i know the 9.04 tho umm its a ati hd3100 i had the driver form them but attempted to uninstall it cause it caused even worse junk than this | 11:15 |
| indus | gogeta: hmm ! | 11:15 |
| jedc | indus, im not sure this would change anything but isnt there a new xorg in 9.04? | 11:15 |
| indus | mr_boo: i guess its worth a try to 8.10 then | 11:15 |
| mr_boo | indus: yes i'm upgrading to 8.10 now | 11:15 |
| indus | jedc: i know but even iam not sure if that xorg makes a diff to driver performance | 11:15 |
| bazhang | mistereverywhere, the fglrx? seems that unless the card is a radeon hd, then the open source radeon driver is the way to go | 11:15 |
| gogeta | jedc: 9.04 xorg isnt that hot 9.10 is supposed to relly speed stuff up with a new acell mode | 11:16 |
| mistereverywhere | bazhang it is radeon hd tho | 11:16 |
| jedc | mistereverywhere, have you tried System->Administration->hardware drivers? click on the one you want and hit activate | 11:16 |
| indus | ok nvm | 11:16 |
| jedc | gogeta, sweet, i cant wait | 11:16 |
| mistereverywhere | jedc that one broke my comp i ahd to reinstall ubuntu to get to the login screen let alone anything else | 11:16 |
| scriptwarlock | gogeta: why cant we just put back the network manager of 8.04 i know there are new features but huh buggy | 11:16 |
| bazhang | mistereverywhere, then was installed from hardware drivers? that is the proper way (ie through ubuntu, not ati site) | 11:16 |
| iceroot | i am looking for a becnhmark tool, so that my cpus (2 core) are 100% in use | 11:16 |
| indus | i have a question,if a hardware device is not proprietary,and lets say its not activated, is there a wizard to activate that then? | 11:16 |

| iceroot | bazhang: thx, i will have a look | 11:18 |
| mistereverywhere | indus so far all problems but i have a laptop, at least with the ati provided drivers | 11:18 |
| jedc | indus, nvidia cards have much better support | 11:18 |
| gogeta | scriptwarlock: the new kernel inn 9.10 fixed the unstable wifi i compiled it on my 9.04 system | 11:19 |
| indus | jedc: hmm i dont want to believe it now, i hear amd have done great work? | 11:19 |
| mistereverywhere | jedc i have an ati radeon 3100 btw not sure if i said that or not | 11:19 |
| indus | jedc: also,the open drivers might catch up soon, or both will merge into 1 Common Driver? | 11:19 |
| mistereverywhere | indus the drivers kind of break stuff from what ati themselves supply | 11:20 |
| indus | jedc: ok can u tell me if there is some fps difference between windows and linux driver for ATI | 11:20 |
| gogeta | scriptwarlock: just so i had stable wifi and no random disconnects | 11:20 |
| indus | mistereverywhere: aah :( i wanted to switch to ATI for so long due to nice cards | 11:20 |
| mistereverywhere | indus there are rumors that they do it on purpose because they make money off of microzoft and not linux | 11:20 |
| gogeta | indus: can i have what your drinking | 11:20 |
| gogeta | indus: a cuda nivida is years ahed of ati | 11:21 |
| jedc | indus, i dont know, i think it is because nvidia has put a lot of work into making sure their linux drivers work | 11:21 |

| Kris07 | Indus, All | 11:28 |
| jedc | Pranky, if you do decide to do a new install, if you have a seperate partition for /home it can make it a lot easier to reinstall in the future without losing your data | 11:28 |
| grouse | @hvnke_work, have you got auto eth0 | 11:28 |
| ActionParsnip | jedc: i think that should be standard but its hard to partition / for so many different needs automaically | 11:29 |

How about firewalls wath happens if i dont have a firewall configured on xubuntu,the worst case scenaryo ? ! | 11:29 |
| indus | scriptwarlock: aah then ok | 11:29 |
| hvnqke_work | grouse, doesn't look like it. "cat /etc/init.d/networking | grep auto" does not return anything. | 11:29 |

| Pranky | ActionParsnip, when I am running sudo apt-get update.. it completes with out error | 11:30 |
| jedc | Guest81664, in theory you could still get viruses but the unix model that linux is based on makes it extremely hard for viruses to affect the system, worse case scenario is usually just the user data may be corrupted for the user that got the virus | 11:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest81664: there are some viri for linux but they are not very wild at all. If you use a router you dont really need a firewall but you can configure one if ou wish | 11:31 |

| ubottu | Guest81664, please see my private message | 11:31 |
| indus | Guest81664: by default , a port is only opened when requested by an application, so firefox for eg, uses port 80, and the firewall opens it for you | 11:31 |
| ugliefrog | ActionParsnip: i dont have bluetooth on the laptop :( | 11:31 |
| indus | Guest81664: also, actionParsnip is correct,if you have a router ,they have a built in firewall,so its like double protection | 11:32 |

| ziroday | Gobby: the .deb is stored in /var/apt/cache | 11:32 |
| indus | Guest81664: just keep your system upto date to stay clean | 11:32 |
| Guest81664 | but i heard you need to configure it with GUI to configure | 11:32 |
| Guest81664 | ? | 11:32 |
| gogeta | Guest81664: yea thers a few out there but most got patched agenst the advanatge of being able to change out the os kernel vs lets say a windows system | 11:32 |
| Gobby | dad? | 11:32 |
| Gobby | heh | 11:32 |
| Myrtti | Gobby: /var/cache/apt/ - but why are you asking? | 11:32 |
| ugliefrog | Gobby: yeppers | 11:32 |
| indus | Guest81664: thats only if you need to specify specific ports to open etc | 11:32 |
| Gobby | Because I downloaded a game from there | 11:33 |
| ActionParsnip | ugliefrog: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-laptop-and-netbook-25/blackberry-ppp-modem-to-internet-using-ubuntujaunty-726223/ | 11:33 |
| hvnqke_work | grouse. "cat /etc/network/interfaces | grep auto" => "auto lo"; "cat /etc/network/interfaces | grep eth0" => nothing | 11:33 |
| Myrtti | Gobby: downloaded or installed? synaptic usually installs as well | 11:33 |
| Gobby | err maybe installed also? | 11:33 |
| indus | Guest81664: by default, there are no rules set up in the built in firewall, you can specify some rule later | 11:33 |
| Gobby | I didnt find it in my game folder at the menu | 11:33 |
| indus | Guest81664: is this a home system? then probably you dont need to do anything at all | 11:33 |
| scriptwarlock | im good on 9.04 on my laptop no issues except the aircrack-ng but thats OT | 11:33 |
| gogeta | Guest81664: a linux system can spred a windows vires. wile the linux system whont get affected you can still send a bad file to windows. | 11:34 |
| Myrtti | Gobby: then you should have it showing up in your menu, but if not, try to launch a terminal and type the name of the game on it, or check /usr/games | 11:34 |
| grouse | @hvnqke, open up the file and have a poke around. You say that you have to run "auto eth0" to get the device up and running? | 11:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Gobby: if its installed you dont need the deb anymore, if you type parts of its name and press tab it will complete | 11:34 |
| Guest81664 | yes my home system | 11:34 |
| indus | Guest81664: ya rest assured, its safe | 11:34 |
| jedc | mistereverywhere, i dont know i suggested hardware drivers but that is what you used, you could try the envyng-gtk package which downloads and installs the newest versions for you | 11:34 |
| grouse | @hvnqke, you should be able to just add "auto eth0" to the end of the file, or define a more detailed setup, but the instructions for that are at the top of the file in comments | 11:34 |
| ActionParsnip | !envy | jedc | 11:35 |
| Guest81664 | even if i download movies and mp3's via torrents and p2p | 11:35 |
| ubottu | jedc: 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). It is NOT a supported method to install video drivers; please only use it if standard methods fail and at your own risk - See also !BinaryDriver | 11:35 |
| Gobby | Nope not in my menu | 11:35 |
| Guest81664 | ? | 11:35 |
| indus | Guest81664: dont download any illegal stuff which might spread a virus to windows users | 11:35 |
| sikander | hellos | 11:35 |
| uhok | ello | 11:35 |
| hvnqke_work | grouse: I need to select it from the network manager icon in the gnome panel because it does not try to connect automatically. but it does not get it up and running, the connection fails. | 11:35 |
| uhok | Hi silverraindog | 11:35 |
| jedc | ActionParsnip, yes, but the supported method did fail :p | 11:35 |
| uhok | I mean sikander | 11:35 |
| sacarlson | when I run services-admin the unlock botton is grayed out and can't enable any services. | 11:35 |
| error404notfound | how can i put a webdav to automount? | 11:35 |
| hvnqke_work | grouse: in interfaces only lo is defined. I take it the rest is governed by network-manager | 11:35 |
| gogeta | Guest81664: you can always install a linux antivires there mostly used for checking file being sent to windows | 11:35 |
| ActionParsnip | jedc: what card is it for? | 11:36 |
| grouse | @hvnqke, you probably want to add two lines, "auto eth0" and "iface eth0 inet dhcp" | 11:36 |
| Gobby | aha, found the deb | 11:36 |
| indus | Guest81664: ya avast for linux is good but no need for it really | 11:36 |

| indus | Gobby: aha ) | 11:36 |
| grouse | @hvnkqe, the network manager will write to this file and changes you make | 11:36 |
| error404notfound | ActionParsnip, thanks | 11:36 |
| Gobby | If I install it and its already install will that cause problems? | 11:36 |
| scriptwarlock | Gobby: where did it hide? | 11:36 |

| Guest81664 | from time to time i want to watch a movie but since i cant purchase it , i download it can that harm my system , a movie | 11:37 |
| Guest81664 | ? | 11:37 |
| hvnqke_work | alright. right now I'm connected from wlan0 - which is not defined in interfaces either | 11:37 |
| jedc | lol | 11:37 |
| indus | Guest81664: no | 11:37 |
| gogeta | Guest81664: or even cleaning a infected windows syetem being windows it not active it makes it relly easy to remove bad files | 11:37 |
| sacarlson | the sevices-admin seems mested up on my ubuntu 8.04 now. It was working when I first installed it. | 11:37 |
| Gobby | Never mind its installed just hiding | 11:37 |
| grouse | @hvnqke, make the changes I proposed then save the file. Finally run the command "/etc/init.d/network restart" | 11:37 |
| tommi_ | Is here anyone, who has installed vdr on ubuntu 9.04 using only "budget-dvb-t" -usb dongles? Should it be installed from the packages with synaptic; or compiled from the source? | 11:37 |
| jado | could someone have a look on this? http://paste.ubuntu.com/251861/ | 11:37 |
| hvnqke_work | grouse, thanks, I'll try | 11:37 |
| scriptwarlock | Gobby: ok dont disturb it, it might get angry | 11:37 |
| indus | scriptwarlock: hehe | 11:38 |
| Gobby | Yeah, and its a fps, so it has guns .. | 11:38 |
| grouse | @hvnqke, sorry, I'm doing this all from memory, otherwise I would have a play on my own install and tell you what happens in more detail | 11:38 |
| Gobby | Shift f2 is supposed to search for things correct? | 11:38 |
| indus | and it aint afraid to use it | 11:38 |
| ziroday | jado: do sudo chmod a+x /usr/bin/mbrola | 11:38 |
| scriptwarlock | anybody has idea how to deal with segmntation fault? | 11:38 |
| Guest81664 | Not even W.I.N.E. cant affect i suppose | 11:39 |
| scriptwarlock | segmentation fault | 11:39 |
| jado | ziroday: hm the problem was on the 'ln' command i have to write an absolute path and not a relative one | 11:39 |
| ActionParsnip | jedc: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/262819 | 11:39 |
| Guest81664 | sorry about my english but i am from Romania | 11:39 |
| indus | Guest81664:hmm might | 11:39 |
| Guest81664 | :D | 11:39 |
| ziroday | jado: ah woops, that would trip it up to | 11:39 |
| indus | Guest81664: it will affect the files in the wine folder thats all, maybe change somethings | 11:39 |
| jedc | scriptwarlock, segmentation faults occur when c(++) programs try to write to memory they shouldnt, so hard to troubleshoot :p | 11:39 |
| Gobby | I still am unable to find it... what would you suggest? | 11:39 |
| Guest81664 | then bye , bye bill gates i am seeck and tirred of the s**t thats windows | 11:40 |
| Guest81664 | i hate windows | 11:40 |
| sacarlson | I get this when I run services-admin ** (services-admin:31984): CRITICAL **: Unable to lookup session information for process '31984' | 11:40 |
| jedc | ActionParsnip, mistereveryday said he found it in Hardware drivers and it borked his system, i think he is using 9.04 | 11:41 |
| ursus_ | How can I check my DVD-ram's properties (for example the region code)? | 11:41 |
| indus | ursus_: the player will give you that info | 11:41 |
| indus | ursus_: eg vlc or mplayer even totem i thinj | 11:41 |
| indus | k | 11:41 |
| jedc | Guest81664, it can be fun to dl windows viruses and try to run them in wine :p im not suggesting you try this | 11:41 |
| ursus_ | I check it, thanks | 11:41 |
| scriptwarlock | jedc: yeah got sometimes flresup when the ccl timer acidentally closed i have to restart the server, awtz | 11:42 |
| indus | scriptwarlock: are u still monitoring the irc | 11:42 |
| scriptwarlock | idus: hahahha im just kidding | 11:42 |
| BlandCapitalist | I am experiencing significant lag and general instability when playing video (esp. 720p or greater) using restricted drivers on my Radeon 4850 with Jumpy. | 11:42 |
| jedc | scriptwarlock, it has to do with c not being a safe language and makes the programmer do memory management | 11:42 |
| Guest81664 | so i have to go now but THANK YOU ALLOT you are great | 11:42 |
| Guest81664 | :) | 11:42 |
| ursus_ | indus do you know where should I find it exactly? | 11:43 |
| hvnqke_work | grouse: now the network manager icon just says that the wired network is not managed | 11:43 |
| indus | ursus_: in vlc, i think its under tools> media info | 11:43 |
| ziroday | BlandCapitalist: err Jaunty? What media player? | 11:43 |
| hvnqke_work | grouse: still no connection whatsoever, except for wireless | 11:43 |
| Edico | hi | 11:43 |
| grouse | @hvnqke, try running the command "ifup eth0" | 11:44 |
| scriptwarlock | jedc: yeah thats what im going to figure out how to deal with this | 11:44 |
| kousuke | Hello | 11:44 |
| hvnqke_work | grouse, just did. it goes to sleep after a lot of DHCPDISCOVER's | 11:44 |

| indus | mickster04: you are quiet today | 11:44 |
| indus | oh | 11:44 |
| BlandCapitalist | Jaunty! (sorry, I just read "jump" in an article). Both Youtube (64-bit flash) and Totem experience the same issue | 11:44 |
| ursus_ | indus I see. But it shows the information about a media like a DVD. But I need the info about my dvd device. | 11:45 |
| ziroday | BlandCapitalist: hmm, could you pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log please | 11:45 |
| grouse | @hvnqke, looks like it's not getting a dhcp response from your server | 11:45 |
| indus | ursus_: device? hmm i dont think pc dvd's have region specific stuff, but i may be wrong | 11:45 |
| zhangxun_wuhanun | i want to use hibernate in my current project,is there any book ,i can master it in 4days | 11:45 |

| indus | scriptwarlock: hmm who aer you i dont remember | 11:46 |

| mickster04 | indus yeah im workin at the same time | 11:46 |
| ziroday | Edico: checked alsamixer and made sure the PCM slider is maxed out? | 11:46 |

| hvnqke_work | *without a working wired connection | 11:46 |
| hvnqke_work | the rest of the company has no problems | 11:46 |

| indus | ursus_: aah ok i heard about those | 11:47 |
| Edico | ziroday, is maxed | 11:47 |
| Gobby | I have installed a game called crossfire through the synaptic, the problem is I cannot find it. | 11:47 |
| indus | ursus_: region 1 is usa correct? | 11:47 |
| grouse | @hvnqke, ah, may not be dhcp then if it's a company wired connection. May want to see if they have a specific configuration | 11:47 |
| ursus_ | indus I guess. But I live in region 2. | 11:47 |

| error404notfound | ActionParsnip, would be it awkward if i ask your age? | 11:48 |
| Gobby | ziroday: Yes sir, I did. | 11:48 |
| hvnqke_work | grouse: the configuration is pretty standard, and the others use dhcp | 11:48 |

| grouse | @hvnqke, try running "ifconfig eth0 down", then "ifconfig etho up" | 11:50 |
| ziroday | Gobby: does that start the game? | 11:50 |
| ziroday | BlandCapitalist: thanks | 11:50 |
| error404notfound | ActionParsnip, i remember you over the years i started learning linux and i saw you here... Okay, enough ot, before some asks me to join ubuntu-offtopic... enjoy your birthday and take a day out from irc, hang out... | 11:50 |
| hvnqke_work | grouse, that went pretty painless. but it doesn't seem to have affected anything | 11:50 |
| ActionParsnip | error404notfound: gotta work sadly. yeah ive been at this game a while now. Trying to spread the love | 11:50 |
| Gobby | What in the world, I thought this was a fps... | 11:50 |
| grouse | @hvnqke, you say you were away a week, could be something happening to the cable in that time, can you nick someone elses ethernet cable who has a working connection and see if it wokrs over that | 11:50 |
| Gobby | But yes that started the game | 11:51 |
| ziroday | BlandCapitalist: could you also do glxinfo and the output of totem when you play a video file (that lags) please | 11:51 |
| error404notfound | ActionParsnip, its your job to provide support on irc? | 11:51 |
| * error404notfound goes for ot | 11:51 | |
| hvnqke_work | grouse, we tried another cable earlier today, that didn't work either - although it did in my colleagues computer | 11:51 |
| ziroday | Gobby: fantastic | 11:51 |
| odinsbane | I'm trying to setup a samba server...I'm not sure if my firewall is affecting it is there a way to test? | 11:51 |
| ActionParsnip | error404notfound: no, support too many citrix, web and sql servers in florida from the uk | 11:51 |

| ziroday | Gobby: Urban Terror, Openarena, Sauerbraten. Also phoronix.com has some nice reviews time to time | 11:52 |
| Gobby | I wanted a game similar to Cs | 11:52 |
| hvnqke_work | the Savage games are awesome. and HoN | 11:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Gobby: penumbra is pay to play too but the demo is awesome | 11:52 |
| Gobby | Yes, i have the beta and savage 2 | 11:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Gobby: urban terror is like CS | 11:52 |
| uhok | Hello, I can't chat on deviantart chat, does anyone have any idea why? | 11:52 |
| ziroday | hvnqke_work: I was under the impression HoN wasn't released yet | 11:52 |
| uhok | I know you all love me. | 11:52 |
| Gobby | ALright thanks guys , very much! | 11:52 |
| ziroday | uhok: does it rely on flash? | 11:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Gobby: its the unreal engine with a mod, so you can do wall jumping too | 11:53 |
| scriptwarlock | Gobby: thats what i use in my net the kids love it | 11:53 |
| hvnqke_work | ziroday, closed beta, alienware gives free keys away | 11:53 |

| uhok | ziroday, I have flash I think. You should try it. http://chat.deviantart.com/ (Maybe give your opinion.) | 11:54 |
| mickster04 | have i just landed in #ot? | 11:54 |
| BlandCapitalist | ziroday: http://pastebin.com/d33dd838a is glxinfo. Will have log in a minute | 11:54 |

| gwildor | Gobby, souds like one of your setting is turned down. | 11:54 |
| ziroday | uhok: I'd rather not thank you. Tried clearing your browser cache and cookies? | 11:55 |
| mickster04 | just all this talk af games etc | 11:55 |
| ziroday | BlandCapitalist: thanks, and that all looks good | 11:55 |
| uhok | ziroday, why? | 11:55 |
| uhok | ziroday, It says it loads the flash, I believe I have flash installed, that's why i wondered if you could look, but ok. | 11:56 |
| ziroday | uhok: because I'm not an artist, nor am I particularly fond of the company behind DA. Does youtube work? | 11:56 |
| ursus | indus there is not such an option | 11:57 |
| grouse | @hvnqke, what's the output of "ifconfig eth0" | 11:57 |
| Azoff | hello | 11:57 |
| grouse | pastebin it | 11:57 |
| KoolD | can anyone tell me how to disable cpu scaling??? | 11:57 |
| uhok | ziroday, may I pm you? | 11:57 |
| ziroday | uhok: sure | 11:57 |
| ziroday | KoolD: add the CPU scaling monitor to your panel and set it to "performance" | 11:57 |
| Azoff | I want to run some kind of virtualization on a non-vt server, what would you recommend? | 11:58 |
| ziroday | Azoff: virtualbox-ose | 11:58 |
| Azoff | ziroday: even as it's a company? | 11:58 |
| grouse | @hvnqke, the only other thing you can do is setup a static connection and see if it works then. Otherwise I'm stumped. | 11:59 |
| Azoff | btw, both host and guest won't need any graphics | 11:59 |
| ziroday | Azoff: sorry I don't quite follow. Company? | 11:59 |
| hvnqke_work | grouse, http://pastebin.com/m225d19eb | 11:59 |

| grouse | http://pastebin.com/m225d19eb | 12:00 |
| legend2440 | ursus: are you trying to find dvd region settings? | 12:00 |
| grouse | woops | 12:00 |
| === daBomb|Not-Here is now known as Chazz | ||
| ziroday | Azoff: ah right. Well yes you can still run virtualbox-ose. Or you can use something more lightweight like qemu or xen if no GUI is required. However qemu and xen are harder to setup. virtualbox is super easy | 12:01 |
| KoolD | ziroday: actually i'm running openbox on ubuntu...and i manually set the governor with cpufreq-set....but it does not work....the freq still stays at half its value even when the cpu's running at 100% | 12:01 |
| Gobby | One more question for the moment.. Counter strike source can play in linux correct? | 12:02 |
| Azoff | ziroday: oki, I have some possitive experience with virtualbox on normal desktop and I guess it's almost as easy on the command line. :) | 12:02 |
| ziroday | Gobby: through wine, yes | 12:02 |
| hvnqke_work | Gobby, through wine | 12:02 |
| Azoff | thanks! | 12:02 |
| Sasori | Hello | 12:02 |
| grouse | @hvnqke, can you ping anything "ping -c 5 www.google.com" | 12:02 |
| Gobby | Have you personally played it? | 12:02 |
| Pranky | ActionParsnip, http://ww.pastebin.com/m1b64b9bd | 12:02 |
| Pranky | Have a look | 12:02 |
| ziroday | Azoff: have fun | 12:02 |
| ziroday | Gobby: yes | 12:02 |
| Gobby | Works flawlessly? | 12:02 |
| ursus | legend2440, yes I am | 12:02 |
| hvnqke_work | grouse, yes, because I'm connected with wireless | 12:03 |
| mickster04 | does playonlinux have counterstrike e4tup included? | 12:03 |
| Gobby | Well I mean Doable | 12:03 |
| ziroday | Gobby: you lose about 5fps, depending on your machine | 12:03 |
| grouse | @hvnqke, ignore that, you can't pick up a IP address, bleh, all I can say is DHCP doesn't seem to be running. Maybe someone else here can help you further | 12:03 |

| eoke | odinsbane: From what I can remember it was nautilus that was at fault so it shouldn't be affecting you. | 12:18 |
| odinsbane | Since the smbclient -L ip.add works from the computer running samba, I suspect that it is a firewall issue. | 12:19 |
| odinsbane | It would be cool if cygwin had smbclient. | 12:19 |
| scriptwarlock | whos firewall windows? | 12:19 |

| notwist | i cant understand why you would run 64 bit ubuntu, i have a 64 bit processor but i haven't noticed any speed difference and you get compability problems | 13:30 |

| Dr_Willis | Boohbah: is that even used by anything? :) last i recall checking that out. i cant recall anything actually using it. | 14:16 |
| NoMS | stickybit was used a long time ago in unix to keep files loaded in memory. just a regular x in it's place is just fine | 14:16 |

| Dr_Willis | odinsbane: trying to make a 'public' share? | 14:16 |
| haf1z | indus: there;s 7 option | 14:17 |
| Boohbah | odinsbane: chmod 7771 file | 14:17 |
| erUSUL | NoMS: sticky bit is for setuid programs | 14:17 |
| jcmarini | is rootkithunter necessary on Jaunty? | 14:17 |
| indus | haf1z: do you have any idea about menu.lst or what it does? | 14:17 |
| Kapli | xkill didnt work, and how to use killall if the program name has spaces in it? | 14:17 |
| odinsbane | Dr_Willis: I guess so | 14:17 |
| haf1z | indus: A new version of /boot/grub/menu.lst is available, but the version │ │ installed currently has been locally modified. | 14:17 |
| indus | haf1z: ok and? | 14:17 |
| Halitech | Kapli, put the program name in " " | 14:17 |
| MadGirl | i think and is it safe to unmask it | 14:17 |
| haf1z | indus: should i select install the package maintainer;s version? | 14:18 |
| indus | haf1z: hmm ok | 14:18 |
| indus | haf1z: lets try | 14:18 |
| haf1z | or just keep the local version currently installed | 14:18 |
| Dr_Willis | odinsbane: thers some smb.conf settings to allow guest acc4ess, and perhaps an example of a public share. or check teh samba docs in the 'samba-doc' package - it has books with examples of settng up public shares. | 14:18 |
| jcmarini | anyone using RootKitHunter (RKH) | 14:18 |
| indus | haf1z:hmm we installed local so it might mess grubagain | 14:18 |
| indus | haf1z: ok do one thing, use maintainer;s version | 14:19 |
| Dr_Willis | odinsbane: if things are set up right your user can also make their own 'public' share that everyone can read/write to. | 14:19 |
| indus | haf1z: reboot and see if u get grub | 14:19 |
| indus | haf1z: probably wont but no problem | 14:19 |
| Boohbah | odinsbane: sorry, chmod 777 dir; chmod +t dir | 14:19 |
| haf1z | i just select the 2nd 1. it's keep the local version | 14:19 |
| odinsbane | Boohbah: I got it with 1777 | 14:19 |
| haf1z | ok | 14:19 |
| haf1z | brb! | 14:19 |
| indus | haf1z: wait | 14:19 |
| indus | !damn | 14:19 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about damn | 14:19 |
| u0324 | so does the sticky bit actually do anything in ubuntu? | 14:20 |
| indus | !cookie | indus | 14:20 |
| ubottu | indus, please see my private message | 14:20 |
| indus | i need to prepare for the massive overhaul that grub 2 is | 14:20 |
| erUSUL | u0324: is used for mark setuid in files | 14:22 |
| erUSUL | u0324: in directories setting the sticky bits makes files created inside a directory inherit the directory's permissions | 14:22 |
| erUSUL | u0324: and owner/group | 14:22 |
| haf1z | indus: still no option for 9.04 | 14:22 |
| grawity | erUSUL: Really? | 14:23 |
| grawity | erUSUL: From what I know, it's _setgid_ that makes files inherit the directories group | 14:23 |
| odinsbane | It must have to do with a directory structure 'cause /share works, while /home/share doesn't | 14:23 |
| erUSUL | grawity: i stand corrected. | 14:23 |
| haf1z | indus: u der | 14:24 |
| grawity | erUSUL: Some Unix systems have setuid for the same - but Linux ignores setuid on directories. | 14:24 |
| grawity | erUSUL: The only actual effect of stickybit is that even if you have write rights to the sticky directory, you still cannot remove files owned by others. | 14:24 |
| indus | haf1z: yeah | 14:24 |
| grawity | erUSUL: /tmp, for example, is sticky and world-writable. | 14:25 |
| jcmarini | how do i ask Ubottu a question? | 14:25 |
| indus | haf1z: no problem, u need to edit menu.lst and add entry for it | 14:25 |
| haf1z | indus: stil d same. there's not option for 9.04. its only 8.04 and vista | 14:25 |

| haf1z | indus: check this out http://imagebin.org/59300 | 14:37 |
| Dr_Willis | odinsbane: Thats should be doable rather easially. I dont have a smb.conf with a public share on this pc.. or id paste my example. | 14:38 |

| Halitech | HappiCamper, what kind of printer? and what driver did you install? | 14:39 |
| Dr_Willis | odinsbane: i also have the habbit of setting up identical user names on the linux/wondows machines. :) | 14:39 |

| Dr_Willis | odinsbane: somthing to watch out for with samba shares is if you access them from the linux side and windows side.. that Linux IS case Senesetive.. that can sometimes cause issues for example you had a Directory named "Downloads' vs 'downloads' in the same share. | 14:41 |

| giampiero | Hello 've got a problem. I would like to resize my HD partition. It formerly was made of 2 30GB Windows partitions. I have now installed Xubuntu and created a 5 Gb Partition, which I now want to expand. Fact is that Xubuntu partition manager does not allow me to touch one of the two 30 Gb partitions (which is actually empty). Can anyone give help? | 14:53 |
| indus | haf1z: also 2nd line add root (hd0,6) | 14:53 |
| geirha | ltcabral: And only for programs spawned by that shell | 14:53 |
| readyou | hey, can someone help me out? its very important | 14:53 |
| ltcabral | geirha: ok i changed it | 14:53 |
| jason__ | im creating a backup script to rsync from one machine to another across the net, trouble is I can't backup because even though both have ssh open they block ROOT and i really want to rsync a copy of the entire machine....any thoughts | 14:53 |
| haf1z | indus: can u check em first http://paste.ubuntu.com/251937/ | 14:53 |
| ltcabral | geirha: in the file.. thanks | 14:54 |
| Halitech | giampiero, if the partition is mounted you can't resize it, best to do it from the live cd | 14:54 |
| Solarbaby | time to start playing with other distros.. its too bad.. Ubuntu has alot of support.. bluetooth just isn't one of them | 14:54 |
| petllama | jason__: have you attempted starting rsync with sudo | 14:54 |
| Solarbaby | sigh | 14:54 |
| indus | haf1z: ok looks fine | 14:54 |
| giampiero | Halitech: Could you please explain? | 14:54 |
| ActionParsnip | Solarbaby: there are many to choose from | 14:54 |
| oshua86 | where can I get teh keyfile for KDE? | 14:54 |
| haf1z | indus: i havent put the root as u said | 14:55 |
| indus | haf1z: if it doesnt boot , then add after title root hd0,6 | 14:55 |
| ActionParsnip | oshua86: keyfile? | 14:55 |
| maco | sosolartry installing blueman and using that instead of gnome-bluetooth or bluez-gnome | 14:55 |
| readyou | can i install ubuntu on my hp laptop that already has vista on it?? | 14:55 |
| Solarbaby | ActionParsnip: thats for sure! | 14:55 |
| haf1z | ok ok | 14:55 |
| indus | haf1z: ya leave it for now, try booting into 9.04 | 14:55 |
| jason__ | petllama, how do you mean? since starting "sudo rsync -avz user@hostname:/ /backupmachine" would result in not logging in as root permissions | 14:55 |
| maco | readyou: of course | 14:55 |
| haf1z | ok | 14:55 |
| bigdavejoker | I can't get netstat to show that my ssh service is running show it is running with PS and can ssh to localhost | 14:55 |
| haf1z | stay on indus | 14:55 |
| haf1z | brb | 14:55 |
| indus | cu soon | 14:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Solarbaby: could even try bsd for someting different | 14:55 |
| readyou | kk | 14:55 |
| Halitech | giampiero, if the partition is in use or mounted, you can't resize it so you need to boot from the live cd so the drive isn't in use so you can resize it | 14:55 |
| jason__ | petllama, remember root is blocked on both sides | 14:55 |
| ltcabral | geirha: hm... says the variable isnt set... | 14:55 |
| ActionParsnip | bigdavejoker: netstat -a | 14:55 |
| petllama | jason__: you do not need to log into the remote machine as root to backup everything from the source | 14:55 |
| Solarbaby | ActionParsnip: in this case.. I'll just figure out who has bluetooth down solid | 14:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Solarbaby: if thats the main thing you need then yes definately | 14:56 |
| giampiero | Halitech: the live CD is the Xubutnu install cd, right? | 14:56 |
| jason__ | petllama, ok please explain | 14:56 |
| bigdavejoker | ActionParnsip thats what I'm using nothing with ip addresses appear | 14:56 |
| ltcabral | geirha: i added the line: CVSROOT=":ext:cvs:/cvsroot/Repository" | 14:56 |
| Halitech | giampiero, if thats the one you have, yes that will work | 14:56 |
| === torrentow is now known as BlessJah | ||
| geirha | ltcabral: If you changed /etc/environment, you need to log out and back in to get it set. | 14:56 |
| Solarbaby | ActionParsnip: the computer its on has to do softphone... and a wireless headset is key | 14:56 |
| ActionParsnip | bigdavejoker: it will be 127.0.0.1 if you are connected to / are on the server | 14:56 |
| geirha | ltcabral: Or use export VAR=name until you've logged out and back in | 14:56 |
| xhatman | hmm noone ever do research too see if hardware is supported in a new os these days? | 14:56 |
| giampiero | Halitech: I already did it, but it doesn't allow me to resize the Windows partition I would like to move to Xubuntu. | 14:57 |
| ActionParsnip | xhatman: i do LOTS | 14:57 |
| ActionParsnip | xhatman: 100% of my hardware works out of the box | 14:57 |
| petllama | jason__: the destination of your backup will not need root, since you can store the entire contents in a non protected dir, you only need to start rsync with sudo, and log into the SSH server as a normal user | 14:57 |
| xhatman | ActionParsnip: same here =) | 14:57 |
| mrwes | ActionParsnip, +3 on that | 14:57 |
| bigdavejoker | ActionParsnip still doesn't show up | 14:57 |
| Halitech | giampiero, you should use windows to resize the windows partition first (defrag a few times first) then use gparted to resize into the empty space | 14:57 |
| haf1z | indus: hey, im back. not working. error 15 | 14:57 |
| bigdavejoker | I'm running a virtual instance would that make a difference | 14:58 |
| haf1z | indus: i think i should put the root | 14:58 |
| indus | haf1z: u mean did u get the grub menu? | 14:58 |
| jason__ | petllama, but that user who i login as can't read some of the files that dont allow other then root into certain directories? | 14:58 |
| indus | haf1z: ya put it | 14:58 |
| haf1z | indus: i get the grub. but cant boot into 9.04 | 14:58 |
| giampiero | Halitech: can you biefly tell me how to resize partition form Windows? | 14:58 |
| haf1z | indus: what is the command again? | 14:58 |
| indus | haf1z: ok put the root | 14:58 |
| Halitech | giampiero, haven't got a clue, haven't used windows in 4 years | 14:58 |
| indus | haf1z: gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 14:58 |
| readyou | does ubuntu support 64 bit processors? | 14:59 |
| petllama | jason__: im confused, you are just backing up the entire source (say, server A) and putting it in a dir on destincation (say, server B) correct? | 14:59 |
| indus | haf1z: but i was hoping grub would pick up 9.04 on its own,problem is , if any kernel is updated,it might mess up again | 14:59 |
| geirha | giampiero: #windows can probably tell you | 14:59 |
| Halitech | readyou, no (hides my 64bit machine) | 14:59 |
| indus | readyou: of course | 14:59 |
| jason__ | petllama, yes sir | 14:59 |
| readyou | oh | 15:00 |
| readyou | k | 15:00 |
| ActionParsnip | bigdavejoker: try netstat -an | grep -i listen | 15:00 |
| petllama | jason__: if that is the case, then only root access is needed on server A to read the files. Since you can place them anywhere on server B, you do not need root access on server B | 15:00 |
| haf1z | indus: root (hda,6) is it?> | 15:00 |
| name | hey | 15:00 |
| indus | hd0 | 15:00 |
| jason__ | petllama, is there a way without opening root access? | 15:00 |
| indus | hd0,6 | 15:00 |
| petllama | jason__: if you need to backup EVERYTHING, root access is needed on server A | 15:00 |
| name | how well is the amd64 version maintained? | 15:01 |
| indus | ok i gtg fast | 15:01 |
| ActionParsnip | name: same as the i686 | 15:01 |
| jason__ | petllama, like is it possible to allow a user to be root like without sudo | 15:01 |
| haf1z | indus: how about the uuid? should i leave it there | 15:01 |
| indus | haf1z: yeah leave it there | 15:01 |
| indus | haf1z: otherwise steps vary | 15:01 |
| haf1z | ok | 15:01 |
| haf1z | reboot | 15:01 |
| name | ActionParsnip, there's i686? i thought there only was i386 and amd63. | 15:01 |
| haf1z | indus: 1 moment | 15:01 |
| indus | k | 15:01 |
| name | *amd64, even. | 15:01 |
| haf1z | indus: what do you mean with vary? | 15:01 |
| ActionParsnip | name: theres i486 and i586 too | 15:02 |
| indus | haf1z: nvm just go | 15:02 |
| grawity | ActionParsnip: But those are rarely used. | 15:02 |
| panfist | if i try to rmdir and i get a message that device or resource is busy, how do i tell what's using that resource | 15:02 |
| ActionParsnip | name: unless your cpu is ancient, if you install 32bit you will be on i686 | 15:02 |
| haf1z | indus: its working. currntly booting | 15:02 |
| ActionParsnip | grawity: true but they do exist | 15:02 |
| name | ActionParsnip, my cpu is amd64. | 15:02 |
| haf1z | indus: you save my ass again. thx/ | 15:02 |
| indus | haf1z: again heh | 15:02 |
| indus | glad to help | 15:02 |
| NoMS | when trying to connect to a network share through samba on windows vista, I get the error: a device attached to the system is not functioning. any ideas? running ubuntu 9.04 | 15:02 |

| indus | haf1z: just read this a little | 15:02 |
| name | ActionParsnip, i know. | 15:02 |
| indus | haf1z: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 15:03 |
| haf1z | indus: thx for ur helps. really appreacite it. | 15:03 |
| arand | panfist: most likely something is browsing it, I don't know how to specifically say which process though.. | 15:03 |
| haf1z | indus: wil go thru with it soon | 15:03 |
| indus | kk | 15:03 |
| name | ActionParsnip, i'm just wondering which would be wiser. | 15:03 |
| ipsemet | i moved my cron entries to the root crontab using sudo crontab -e and the jobs are still not running at all, cron doesn't even log them into syslog. these same scripts (rather their sister scripts) work just fine on a fedora box running along side this Ubuntu 8.04.3. here's my root crontab http://paste.ubuntu.com/251940/ | 15:03 |
| indus | good luck | 15:03 |
| haf1z | indus: thx indus. anyway. thx for your time. | 15:03 |
| name | ActionParsnip, as some packages might be x86 only. | 15:03 |
| samphippen | is there a java opengl package in the ubuntu repositories? if so what's it called? | 15:03 |
| ActionParsnip | name: if you intend on simple web browsing and chatting with less than 3Gb RAM then 32bit will be fine | 15:03 |
| petllama | jason__: just use sudo, i dont reccomend allowing a user root access without having to use sudo | 15:04 |
| Halitech | name, you can use either but if you have more then 4gig of ram, go amd64 | 15:04 |
| ActionParsnip | name: not met many at all that are32bit only | 15:04 |
| Kartagis | hello | 15:04 |
| Kartagis | what file do I need to edit to get eth0 instead of eth1? | 15:04 |

| erUSUL | ipsemet: could be that the scripts do not work with ubuntu's sh (it is not bash is dash) | 15:05 |
| jason__ | petllama, i understand the risks i was hoping to allow ssh only by ip or something that would actually prevent anyone from trying root attempts | 15:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Kartagis: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1007285 | 15:05 |
| Halitech | name, its able to use both cores and will be faster | 15:05 |

| haf1z | guys, is it a common probs that my laptop easily to get hot when i running ubuntu. but its normal n a bit cool if im running vista | 15:05 |
| petllama | jason__: look into allowing SSH access with SSL certs | 15:05 |
| name | Halitech, huh? there are x86 multicores as well.. | 15:05 |
| ActionParsnip | name: true, if you are transforming data (encoding video / dvds / music etc) then 64 bit will give a boost | 15:05 |
| name | Halitech, and it's a quad-core ;) | 15:05 |
| ActionParsnip | name: yes thats what SMP implies | 15:06 |
| afink | Hello I am trying to install the nvidia linux driver. I am having trouble figuring out how to login without X running. In suse I would do init 3 and it would kill x. | 15:06 |
| === quiet_lezzGirl is now known as co | ||
| jason__ | petllama, ok will do | 15:06 |
| erUSUL | !nvidia | afink | 15:06 |
| ubottu | afink: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 15:06 |
| petllama | jason__: but for your original question, just start rsync with sudo, and log into server B as normal user. good luck, i gotta get to work ^_^ | 15:06 |
| ActionParsnip | afink: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-180 | 15:06 |
| ActionParsnip | afink: thenreboot | 15:06 |
| Halitech | name, but if the 32bit software was not compiled for smp then its only going to use 1 core no matter how many you have | 15:06 |
| name | Halitech, well, assuming it's C. | 15:07 |
| afink | ActionParsnip: is that the same driver that nvidia provies? | 15:07 |
| ipsemet | erUSUL: they are being executed as sh /bin/xxx | 15:07 |

| petllama | ohemgy: no | 15:08 |
| shaqiel | ohemgy, nope | 15:08 |
| jrib | ohemgy: no, it's not. But it is in the repositories | 15:08 |
| kiaas_ | ohemgy, it's in the repos, but not installed by default | 15:08 |
| jrib | !wine > ohemgy | 15:08 |
| ubottu | ohemgy, please see my private message | 15:08 |
| name | Halitech, well, java software will use the cores just well on any arch ;) | 15:08 |
| name | *well-done java.. | 15:08 |
| erUSUL | ipsemet: yes but in ubuntu sh points to dash a small (less features) shell. maybe your scripts do not work well in dash and you need to run them with bash | 15:08 |
| Kartagis | ActionParsnip, what service do I restart then? | 15:08 |
| grawity | erUSUL: the original sh isn't featureful either. | 15:08 |
| erUSUL | grawity: afaik fedora uses bash as its sh | 15:09 |
| grawity | erUSUL: But when called as 'sh' (symlink or etc), bash will run in "compatibility" mode - that is, without any bash features. | 15:09 |
| bastien_legras | hi, is avahi-daemon a enabled by default on hardy ? | 15:09 |
| ipsemet | erUSUL: how would i do that | 15:10 |
| ActionParsnip | afink: yes | 15:10 |
| bobo | hey guys, ive got a problem. I just started up Jaunty and i don't have the top and bottom panels, but i have my background | 15:10 |
| arand | Kartagis: possibly /etc/init.d/networking | 15:10 |
| erUSUL | ipsemet: where in your crontab you have sh put bash | 15:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Kartagis: i'd imagine its sudo /etc/init.d/netwroking restart after editting the file | 15:10 |
| ipsemet | erUSUL: i just tried putting env >> /var/log/env.log into the root crontab and it doesn't run either so i don't think its related to the shell being called | 15:11 |

| evilbug | i am considering putting together a linbox together to serve as a firewall for all the comps in my house. good idea? | 15:22 |
| petllama | evilbug: i recently did | 15:22 |
| erUSUL | evilbug: why not if your router does not have one | 15:23 |
| petllama | evilbug: go look into smoothwall firewall, its a small distro | 15:23 |
| backslash7 | evilbug: I recommend using an ALIX board | 15:23 |
| rjune_wrk | or monowall, or any other firewall distro. | 15:24 |
| petllama | i just threw smoothwall out cuz i tested about 10 firewall distros in the past month or so, and i prefer smoothwall ^_^ | 15:24 |
| petllama | ipcop is nice as well | 15:24 |
| evilbug | erUSUL, petllama, backslash7: i'm not very familiar with ubuntu since i only play around in it sometimes but i want to get to know it really well so i thought i'd start with basic tasks. so to speak... | 15:25 |
| petllama | if you want a full blown firewall, its not an easy tast to start from scratch | 15:25 |
| petllama | task | 15:25 |
| backslash7 | evilbug: What, are you planning to use ubuntu as a firewall? | 15:25 |
| evilbug | backslash7: one of the purposes, yes. | 15:25 |
| evilbug | backslash7: was considering ubuntu server. | 15:25 |
| backslash7 | hm | 15:26 |
| backslash7 | why not take Debian? | 15:26 |
| erUSUL | evilbug: why not an expecialized distro like ipcop or zeroshell ? | 15:26 |
| backslash7 | yeah, even better | 15:26 |
| mneptok | backslash7: because this is #ubuntu. | 15:26 |
| evilbug | backslash7, erUSUL: more familiar with ubuntu. | 15:26 |
| petllama | evilbug: if you are new to *nix i reccomend using a specialized firewall distro | 15:26 |
| petllama | like i said, starting from scratch is not an easy task | 15:26 |
| backslash7 | evilbug: Most things you know about Ubuntu count for Debian as well | 15:27 |
| iceroot | ubuntu-server (8.04) using pae by default? | 15:27 |
| iceroot | jpds: thx | 15:27 |
| backslash7 | evilbug: I would recommend using m0n0wall or ipcop. | 15:27 |
| * Whitor uses IPCop | 15:27 | |
| jpds | iceroot: Was being cautious with the attacks, sorry for the inconvience. | 15:27 |
| mneptok | backslash7: if there are few differences, why are you recommending it? please don't. this is #ubuntu. #debian is down the hall. | 15:27 |
| evilbug | erUSUL, petllama, backslash7: i'm mainly a mac user (switched from winxp two years ago) and been messing around in ubuntu for about a year and a half. i'm thinking it would be a great starting point to familiarize myself with operations and commands. | 15:27 |
| petllama | the only thing i didnt like about IPcop, was the lack of supported modules for the new version. and the past version didnt detect 2 of my NICs | 15:27 |
| iceroot | jpds: ah ok, didnt see them | 15:27 |
| bieb | how do you restart cups?? | 15:28 |
| petllama | ill have to check out monowall | 15:28 |
| iceroot | bieb: sudo /etc/init.d/cups restart | 15:28 |
| jpds | bieb: invoke-rc.d cups restart | 15:28 |
| mluser-work | Anyone know of a reader in linux that can read "Microsoft Reader eBook Data" or convert it to a more friendly format? | 15:28 |
| jason__ | what's safer ? running SSH with root open to login OR running rsync daemon to listen with restricted permissions | 15:28 |
| grawity | petllama: it's actually spelled m0n0wall, I think. | 15:28 |
| erUSUL | evilbug: then go ahead... ubuntu server plus shorewall or something like that (firehol is nice too) | 15:28 |
| iceroot | bieb: maybe its called cupsd but tab will tell you | 15:28 |
| bieb | thanks | 15:28 |
| petllama | thats 1337 | 15:28 |
| backslash7 | mneptok: Oh, so I shouldn't be honest and recommend anything other than Ubuntu here? Sounds like #microsoft | 15:28 |
| backslash7 | mneptok: Right, I should recommend Ubuntu Desktop for a firewall box | 15:28 |
| grawity | jason__: SSH can be set to only allow root logins using SSH keys | 15:28 |
| Whitor | Anyone know of a good firewall with builtin support for QoS ? | 15:28 |
| Whitor | and free... | 15:29 |
| jason__ | grawity, nice...ok then I'll look into that | 15:29 |
| petllama | Whitor: smoothwall | 15:29 |
| petllama | lol | 15:29 |
| petllama | and IPcop | 15:29 |
| * Whitor hates smoothwall | 15:29 | |
| odinsbane | backslash7: how about ubuntu server edition? | 15:29 |
| mneptok | backslash7: Ubuntu Server makes a perfectly usable firewall. | 15:29 |
| Whitor | been ther, done that one | 15:29 |
| rsp | how can I check how many bytes have been written and read to hdd since boot? | 15:29 |
| Whitor | IPcop has traffic shaping ... not QoS | 15:29 |
| petllama | anything with IPtables is an acceptable firewall | 15:29 |
| Whitor | I'm looking to setup ACL's with bandwith priority | 15:30 |
| petllama | Whitor: was not aware of that, i didnt run it long enough to test it out much | 15:30 |
| iceroot | rsp: that is not logged | 15:30 |
| jason__ | grawity, what should i be googling? i know of ssh keys using password less logins | 15:30 |
| mneptok | backslash7: and since, as you say, the differences between Debian and Ubuntu are slight (as they are not for Ubuntu and a specialized firewall distro), there's little point in recommending Debian. | 15:30 |
| rsp | iceroot: is there a way | 15:30 |
| jason__ | grawity, id imagine its some setting in sshd_config | 15:30 |
| Whitor | Need to give priority bandwith to Video Teleconference systems | 15:30 |
| haf1z | guys, why my laptop easily get hot when running on ubuntu. vista it quite cool | 15:30 |
| Whitor | Bad when a VTC call drops packets | 15:30 |
| petllama | yea | 15:30 |
| petllama | :x | 15:30 |
| iceroot | rsp: why you need that? | 15:30 |
| grawity | jason__: type 'man sshd_config', and search for 'PermitRootLogin' (using the / key). | 15:30 |
| rsp | iceroot: whatever | 15:30 |
| grawity | jason__: It can be set to "without-password" | 15:31 |
| evilbug | erUSUL: i'd have the comp server as a firewall but also as a ubuntu desktop, anything wrong with that? | 15:31 |
| mickster04 | haf1z, mayb u have different fan settings | 15:31 |
| jason__ | grawity, similar to this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1114466 | 15:31 |
| grawity | jason__: And (this applies to any account, not just root) you can create a special SSH key that will _always_ run rsync when used. | 15:31 |
| haf1z | mickster04: how to get to the fan settings? | 15:31 |
| FrankQC | Does anyone know what the service 'console-kit-daemon' does? I have ~ 60 processes called that. private message me if you know the answer, thanks =) | 15:31 |
| mayajowo | test | 15:31 |
| mickster04 | haf1z, dont know just look around admin and preferences | 15:31 |
| haf1z | o ok | 15:31 |
| haf1z | thx | 15:31 |
| erUSUL | evilbug: i do not see any problem. it is nicer to have a separate machine but would work | 15:32 |
| diddy | Anybody knows how to install dynamips on Ubuntu? | 15:32 |
| evilbug | erUSUL: i can't buy a bunch of different comps :D | 15:32 |

| iceroot | diddy: and did not work means what? | 15:34 |
| gert_ | ok | 15:34 |

| mickster04 | haf1z, probly? | 15:34 |
| iceroot | diddy: multiverse enabled? | 15:34 |
| Halitech | evilbug, I would go with the server version and then simply add the extra bits you need but thats my opinion | 15:34 |
| odinsbane | evilbug: it makes little difference with ubuntu, you can get/remove the desktop pretty easy | 15:34 |
| gert_ | yes i like english | 15:34 |
| gert_ | hihi | 15:35 |
| iceroot | !pae | 15:35 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about pae | 15:35 |
| jpds | haf1z: You might also want to install something like cpufrequtils to control the CPU temperature. | 15:35 |
| diddy | iceroot, yes it is enabled. | 15:35 |
| evilbug | Halitech: i'd understand the system better that way. | 15:35 |
| lstarnes | FrankQC: I think it's used for fast user switching | 15:36 |

| iceroot | diddy: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install dynamips | 15:36 |

| diddy | iceroot, http://pastebin.ca/1526578 | 15:37 |

| meisterlumpi | Hi, do I have to blank my keyring password so it doesn't bug me everytime i log on or is there a better way? | 15:40 |
| iceroot | diddy: ah sorry have not seen. the uni mannheim is enabled but try the real ones | 15:40 |
| iceroot | diddy: also try apt-cache search dynamips | 15:40 |
| grawity | meisterlumpi: Set the keyring password to the same as your logon password. | 15:40 |
| iceroot | meisterlumpi: its the only way if you use autologin | 15:40 |
| nothing123452 | Hi, when I shutdown my notebook in ubuntu 8.04 the hdd makes a long and loud noise when it halts... | 15:40 |
| nothing123452 | But its just in ubuntu :S | 15:40 |
| grawity | meisterlumpi: Then it will be unlocked automatically. | 15:40 |
| grawity | meisterlumpi: If you use autologin, however, blanking is the only way. | 15:41 |
| diddy | iceroot, it worked. Thx iceroot. | 15:41 |
| iceroot | diddy: np | 15:41 |
| diddy | Next is dynagen and gfs3? | 15:41 |
| iceroot | diddy: sudo apt-get install programname anotherprogramname and so on | 15:41 |
| meisterlumpi | grawity: thx, passwords are the same. i found a howto for gnome.. but it doesn't work for kde | 15:41 |
| grawity | meisterlumpi: KDE Wallet? | 15:42 |
| meisterlumpi | is wallet and keyring the same? | 15:42 |
| grawity | Usually, "keyring" means GNOME Keyring. | 15:42 |
| diddy | man I love Ubuntu so much. | 15:42 |
| diddy | I can not believe that there is a package for everything. This rocks. | 15:43 |
| meisterlumpi | grawity: so in kde edition wifi passwords are kept in the kde wallet? | 15:43 |
| diddy | Every day I love Ubuntu more and more and more and more. | 15:43 |
| iceroot | diddy: and if you a searching for a program use apt-cache search web-browser this will give you the programnames like firefox, opera, konqueror and so on | 15:43 |
| grawity | diddy: except they're too often outdated :\ | 15:43 |
| jpds | grawity: So, upgrade to a newer release? :) | 15:44 |
| grawity | meisterlumpi: Having never used KDE (or WiFi for that matter), I'm not sure... but it would seem so. | 15:44 |
| rodimus_ | what command can i run to see what kind of video card i have? | 15:44 |
| diddy | grawity, yes but Ubuntu is very user friendly to people that havn't used Unix/Linux for 30 years and the community is superb. | 15:44 |
| jpds | rodimus_: lspci | grep VGA | 15:44 |
| grawity | jpds: Is Karmic already a "release"? :) | 15:44 |
| Halitech | rodimus_, lspci | grep vga | 15:44 |
| jpds | grawity: Not yet. | 15:44 |
| rodimus_ | hmm. nothing. | 15:44 |
| Halitech | rodimus_, or if you want more detail lshw -C video | 15:45 |
| lstarnes | grawity: not until october | 15:45 |
| meisterlumpi | grawity, iceroot: thanks for the help, i will just remove it.. | 15:45 |

| iceroot | is there a bios-flash tool for ubuntu/linux? doesnt matter if gui or cli | 15:46 |

| iceroot | histo: ..... | 15:47 |
| vovan | привет всем | 15:47 |
| histo | iceroot: you'll prolly have to use some sort of boot cd to load a dos environment and flash it | 15:47 |
| iceroot | histo: ever seen a manufactor giving linux-tools? (and this is asus one of the best manufactors for linux) | 15:47 |

| meisterlumpi | iceroot: if you have a win pc just make a bootable usb stick and use the dos tool? | 15:49 |
| iceroot | meisterlumpi: dont have a win pc | 15:49 |
| FrankQC | lstarnes: heh | 15:49 |
| FrankQC | lstarnes: I disabled console-kit-daemon, but it came back | 15:50 |
| meisterlumpi | iceroot: i have one here i just used to update my bios. its fat | 15:50 |
| meisterlumpi | iceroot: i could send you an image of the stick, probably not legal | 15:51 |
| histo | iceroot: something like freedox may work | 15:51 |
| histo | iceroot: freedos sry. I had to do some google searching the last time I did it and I found a bootable image just to load a bios utility | 15:52 |
| th0r | iceroot: there is a perfectly legal bootable rescue disk for vista...wonder if it would be what you need | 15:53 |
| histo | th0r: he just needs something that will get him in to dos to load his bios utility | 15:53 |
| iceroot | histo: th0r meisterlumpi thx | 15:53 |
| rodimus | can someone help me? i just updated the driver for my video card and now when i try to enable desktop effects i get a blank white screen | 15:53 |
| meisterlumpi | th0r: thats not suitable for biosupdate | 15:53 |
| th0r | histo: right...the rescue iso might do that for him | 15:53 |
| th0r | meisterlumpi: ok...just a thought | 15:54 |
| meisterlumpi | best is to use a simple win98 bootdisk image | 15:54 |
| histo | iceroot: freedos bios flash should get you some results | 15:54 |
| iceroot | histo: i will have a look | 15:54 |
| meisterlumpi | or win98 cd if you have one, and put the biosupdate onto a floppy or burn to cd.. | 15:55 |
| histo | iceroot: I just search bios flash linux and the first link is a howto | 15:55 |

| giampiero | Hello, I've got a partition problem: I installed first Xubuntu on 6Gb space partition, and I would now like to extend this space, adding 25 Gb available. How can I resize partition? The 25 Gb are shown in Gparted as non allocated space, but it doesn't allow me to add such space to the extended Xubuntu partititon. | 15:58 |
| erUSUL | giampiero: you have to do it from a livecd | 15:59 |
| tsrk_ | giampiero, boot in the live cd | 15:59 |
| mickster04 | tsrk, my mum does i set it up | 15:59 |
| giampiero | erUSUL:what is a live cd? | 15:59 |
| erUSUL | giampiero: the ubuntu desktop cd is a livecd | 15:59 |
| diddy | iceroot, have you used dynagen before? | 16:00 |
| iceroot | diddy: no | 16:00 |
| tsrk_ | mickster04, want to test something for me? i'm trying to determine if something is a driver bug or hardware problem | 16:00 |
| diddy | iceroot, ok | 16:00 |
| giampiero | erUSUL: if I boot from the ubuntu esktop it re-installs Ubuntu, I already did it and found myself with 3 operating systems (Windows, Ubuntu 1 and Ubuntu 2! | 16:00 |
| tsrk_ | giampiero, no, boot into the option to "try ubuntu" (without modifying anything) | 16:01 |
| tsrk_ | first option when you get the menu | 16:01 |
| erUSUL | giampiero: no the first option is to run ubuntu without modifying the hard disk... you have to actually run the installer (with an icon in the desktop) to install ubuntu | 16:01 |
| mickster04 | tsrk, go for it | 16:02 |
| Halitech | giampiero, are you sure you have the live (desktop) cd and not the alt install cd? | 16:02 |
| tsrk_ | mickster04, may I pm you? | 16:02 |
| giampiero | Halitech: no, I'm not sure. | 16:02 |
| giampiero | wait.... | 16:02 |
| mickster04 | tsrk, ya | 16:02 |
| Halitech | giampiero, if you don't have the option to try it then you have the alt install cd | 16:03 |
| Halitech | erUSUL, actually there is an install option from the main boot menu on the live cd but its option 2 | 16:03 |

| herenbdy | my Ubuntu 9.04 desktop install disk burned with an error at the end, I can view the the files in the CD fine, and it boots into the Live CD fine... should I still burn another DVD? | 16:13 |
| giampiero | thiebaude: Gparted does not allow me to merge the unallocated space. | 16:13 |
| [manas] | jMyles, yes something like that u think i shuold use something like this or maybe u have better idea?? | 16:14 |
| histo | herenbdy: there is an option to check the media right on the boot menu | 16:14 |
| herenbdy | histo: I have, and it found an error pretty early in... guess I should burn another one :/ | 16:14 |
| jMyles | [manas]: I use the solution described in that article and it is wonderful. | 16:14 |
| giampiero | Halitech: can you give help? | 16:14 |
| histo | herenbdy: try burning another at a slower speed | 16:15 |
| Halitech | giampiero, I've never done it but are the 2 partitions next to each other? | 16:15 |
| [manas] | jMyles, im very new thit ubuntu u think it will be easy for me to set up? | 16:15 |
| grapnell | I have a broadcom built-in card on my motherboard, and the b44 driver continually disconnects. as far as I know, this is a known problem. I have installed a second card, an intel card, in which ubuntu recognizes perfectly, and dhcp assigns an IP address to it with no problem, however, it seems that ubuntu still tries to use the eth0 card instead of the new eth1 as its default. How do I tell ubuntu to forget about eth0 and use eth1? | 16:15 |
| giampiero | Halitech: no, it's the same partition with 5Gb space where Ubuntu is installed and 26 Gb unallocated space Ubuntu can't use. I want to make the 25 Gb space visible (or available, if you want) to Ubuntu. | 16:16 |
| jMyles | [manas]: Just follow the directions carefully and come back here for friendly help. I believe in you! :-) | 16:17 |
| Halitech | giampiero, then my understanding is if the 2 partitions are not located next to each other you can't resize the 5gig to include the 26gig, you could format it as ext3 and move your /home folder over to it | 16:17 |
| runpain2 | !sound | 16:18 |
| ubottu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 16:18 |

| Halitech | giampiero, http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome | 16:18 |
| genii | grapnell: The file /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules holds the info of what MAC address corresponds to what ethX number, edit accordingly | 16:18 |
| grapnell | thank you genii | 16:19 |
| giampiero | Halitech: the two partitions are located next to each other. | 16:19 |
| Halitech | giampiero, then try dragging the slider from the 5gig partition over to the right | 16:21 |

| giampiero | Halitech: If I do that from the live CD it re-installs Ubuntu, I actually have 2 Ubuntus on my pc. | 16:22 |

| ulb | I have a problem with nautilus, lowercase "t" does not work. Upprcase works fine, and both lowersace and uppsercase work fine for other users, and in other applications. How can I find out what is wrong? | 16:23 |
| Halitech | giampiero, if you are using partition editor from the live cd it should not install. can you take a screenshot of what you are in and post it so I can take a look | 16:23 |
| fabio_ | I run ubuntu and I cannot get into gnome. It gives me a blue screen with a message that says something like: "The system has failed for graphical login for more than 60 seconds. It is likely that something bad is going on". | 16:23 |
| fabio_ | I'm using another computer now | 16:23 |
| carpenike | Can anybody help me with the location of hte nfs-user-server repository? | 16:23 |
| ulb | also lowercase "t" works in nautilus if I change language setting in SCIM | 16:23 |
| giampiero | Halitech: what option should I run from the live CD? | 16:23 |
| fabio_ | mike: im not a big computer expert- i define it as i don't get to the graphical login | 16:23 |
| Halitech | fabio_, sounds like something went haywire with X or the video card driver | 16:23 |
| fabio_ | yes. | 16:23 |
| fabio_ | do u have any idea how i can fix it? | 16:24 |
| giampiero | Halitech: it seems to me that "resize" is not among the availables. | 16:24 |

| dragon64 | carpenike, whats up with nfs, should be available in the general repository | 16:24 |
| Halitech | giampiero, partition editor - system admin partition editor | 16:24 |
| mike__ | fabio_, what have you been doin to it recently | 16:24 |
| fabio_ | mike: i didn't do anything in particular. it was after an automatic update from canonical | 16:24 |
| fabio_ | but i wasn't playing with the drivers or anything | 16:24 |
| giampiero | Halitech: so, I rebbot my PC with the CD in and choose system admin partition editor, right? | 16:25 |
| mike__ | fabio_, do u know what the drivers were | 16:25 |
| carpenike | dragon64: I need nfs-user-server instead of nfs-kernel-server. When I try to do an apt-get install nfs-user-server I get: Package nfs-user-server is not available, but is referred to by another package. | 16:25 |
| mike__ | fabio_, do u know what the updates were* | 16:25 |
| dragon64 | Fabio, they most likely updated your vid driver | 16:25 |
| Halitech | fabio_, sounds like the updates borked your video drivers | 16:25 |
| thiebaude | fabio_, do you have intel drivers? | 16:25 |
| fabio_ | i have no idea mike | 16:25 |
| fabio_ | no, nVidia | 16:25 |

| dragon64 | the user-server has not been as actively maintained for a while, people have been switching to the kernel -server because of stability issues | 16:28 |
| Halitech | giampiero, look around under system for partition editor once it loads up | 16:29 |
| carpenike | Hm. Ok... | 16:29 |
| dragon64 | if possible use the kernel server | 16:29 |
| giampiero | Halitech: now it's clear. Thanks again. | 16:29 |
| Halitech | fabio_, boot into recovery mode and run xfix and see if you can get back to the login | 16:29 |

| Bavaria | Hi, I know this is not the channels topic, but I require some help from someone with good eye-sight. I need to solve a magic-eye kind of riddle just with ascii art | 17:31 |
| Mrokii | hello all. Can somebody suggest a good editor for programming on Ubuntu (Gnome)? So far I have tried out Kate and KomodoEdit but not really pleased with both... | 17:31 |
| Bavaria | would someone be so nice to help me out? | 17:31 |
| Krag | jMyles I have tried a lot of forums and stuff and have gone to system sound, but to no success | 17:31 |
| jedc | [manas], on the host machine type ifconfig, it will have the local ip address for the network, you can use that if you are on the network | 17:31 |
| jMyles | Bavaria: Try in #ubuntu-offtopic | 17:31 |
| Bavaria | thanks | 17:31 |
| jedc | [manas], if you want to ssh over the internet you need to set up portforwarding from your router on port 80 to the host machines local ip | 17:31 |
| aksci | still not able to configure my cabinet's front audio jack! please hellppp!!! | 17:32 |
| jedc | [manas], my bad, i think 22 is the default port | 17:32 |
| jMyles | [manas] - Sorry, I missed that comment. jedc is spot on - use ifconfig to determine the IP address. Are you, at least for the moment, using two computers on the same LAN? | 17:32 |
| jMyles | [manas], indeed port 22 is default. :-) Thanks jedc. | 17:32 |
| Krag | jMyles I have tried the live cd of fedora linux and there i'm able to switch between my soundcards with no problems what so ever any ideas on why this is so? | 17:33 |

| scootles | Now I'm having slight stuttering issues with video playback, including things like Youtube. Any ideas? | 17:34 |
| LrdOfNightmares | Mrokii: i suggest Code::blocks, the thing is that i can't install it :/ | 17:34 |
| sipior | Phrogz: i believe rc.local is run at boot by default. | 17:35 |

| Krag | jMyles thanks will try, but i have little hope | 17:37 |
| Phrogz | sipior: OK, I see I have that. I'll try putting in there (though I followed other instructions using update-rc.d which I think should have made my file runnable). So now: | 17:37 |
| LrdOfNightmares | Mrokii: if you can fix it let me know too xP | 17:37 |
| danbhfive | Mibtech: you can either use symlinks to move specific folders to your other hdd, or you could move /home to the other hdd | 17:37 |
| Mrokii | :) | 17:37 |
| Phrogz | a) Do I need to do anything to cleanly remove my own local script having run update-rc.d, and | 17:37 |

| kiaas_ | Lunixed, really? /join #java does nothing for you? | 17:37 |
| edbian | Phrogz: rc.local always runs | 17:38 |

| edbian | naderman: You cannot. I am not aware of any other way. | 17:40 |
| naderman | I've read that you can add a Virtual line to your Display config in xorg.conf but since I don't have an xorg.conf with the latest ubuntu anymore and I would prefer not to have to generate one, is there any way? | 17:40 |
| === KnightWhoSaysNI is now known as UdontKnow | ||
| jedc | Roland, i think it would also depend on all your hardware, i.e. which drivers are running for networkcard and soundcard and such | 17:41 |
| edbian | naderman: Except perhaps getting new hardware. | 17:41 |
| Catspiritone | I' | 17:41 |
| naderman | edbian: where does the config generated on the fly now come from? | 17:41 |
| Catspiritone | I've a Radeon 4890, what drivers should I be using? | 17:41 |
| Mibtech | danbhfive: ok i'll look at the link thanks | 17:41 |
| rapha | how can you find out that the problem is when NetworkManager shows two green dots and spins and spins for about a minute and then says disconnected? | 17:41 |
| moose55 | can anyone help me get audio to work with HDMI on Ubuntu 9.04??? | 17:41 |
| naderman | edbian: this is new hardware, what would the hardware have to do with it? | 17:41 |
| histo | naderman: I thought there was a command to genereate one I thinkg doing a dpkg-reconfigure of the xorg server will generate it. | 17:41 |
| PerlGuy | Python in jaunty defaults to 2.6 | 17:41 |
| PerlGuy | how can I set default to 2.5 | 17:42 |
| scootles | can I stop mIRC from showing EVERYONE who joins or leaves? It's getting annoying | 17:42 |
| histo | naderman: the other option is to a locate and see if there is a document one lying around somewhere. | 17:42 |
| edbian | naderman: The X server probes the hardware (the video card and the monitor in this case) to determine what resolutions are possible. | 17:42 |
| naderman | edbian: yeah it does that correctly | 17:42 |
| eXeegg | prompt russian server irc | 17:42 |
| eXeegg | ? | 17:42 |
| naderman | the problem is that the frame buffer which is created on xorg startup is too small for both screens at the same time | 17:42 |
| edbian | naderman: If it did that correctly you would have the resolution you're trying to add wouldn't you? | 17:42 |
| naderman | edbian: I do have the resolution for each screen individually | 17:42 |
| jedc | naderman, what are you trying to do? | 17:43 |
| adnc | hello, is there a calendar application that works with gnome and also allows syncronization via webcal? | 17:43 |
| naderman | but the total of both resolutions doesn't fit into the frame buffer | 17:43 |

| Linux^Warrior | anyone actually here? | 17:43 |
| eXeegg | prompt russian server irc? | 17:43 |

| Phrogz | sipior: No glory. If I sudo /etc/rc.local the process starts fine, but when I reboot the machine it doesn't work. | 17:45 |
| LrdOfNightmares | Mrokii: how did you install it and what do you mean it works without problems? did you run a program? | 17:45 |
| Bodsda | th0r, cool, I should really get started on that echo server ive been putting off :) | 17:45 |
| Linux^Warrior | lol thta was a question actually, last time I was here everyone was afk :P | 17:45 |
| edbian | Phrogz: What is the command? rc.local is run early on perhaps you need the X server to be running or something first. | 17:45 |
| Linux^Warrior | I need help with totem codecs I have to download manual to get them | 17:45 |
| Catspiritone | What drivers should I use for my Radeon 4890? | 17:45 |

| LrdOfNightmares | Mrokii: which one did you choose to install? | 17:48 |
| Roland | Linux^Warrior, the codecs are int he repository | 17:48 |

| ari_ | linux^\ how do i load it in safe graphics mode? | 17:59 |
| Linux^\ | press esc on grub load | 17:59 |
| jedc | [manas], sounds like its working | 17:59 |
| LrdOfNightmares | Ok | 17:59 |
| edbian | userone: "sda" is the harddrive. sda1 is partition 1, sda2 is partiton 2 etc etc | 17:59 |
| B4ckB0ne | edbian, there is no command tonido and no man page ... so i dont know what to do. | 17:59 |
| [manas] | jedc, but it not | 18:00 |
| edbian | B4ckBOne: Really? That's odd. What does tonido do? | 18:00 |
| LrdOfNightmares | sipior: How can i use the g++ or the gcc? | 18:00 |
| jMyles | [manas]: Great! :-) | 18:00 |

| apoleo12 | hey... I have a load error that it cant find the defkeymap... running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local) find keymap: no such file or directory. Cannot find defkeymap | 18:00 |
| B4ckB0ne | tonido is a fileshareing server on a php basis which brings its own sql and stuff | 18:00 |
| userone | bankix: thanks, I hadnt seen sd0 before so I was confused by that. I will just use hd0. | 18:00 |
| sipior | LrdOfNightmares: try compiling from the terminal. save the program text in "begin.cc", and then build with "g++ begin.cc -lstdc++". that should produce "a.out", a binary which you can run. (specify the executable name via the -o switch) | 18:01 |
| Linux^\ | for anyone just learning linux I would download virtualbox for windows & run it on a virtual machine :) its safer & runs about same | 18:01 |
| jedc | [manas], you just posted what looks like a successful connection, do you get a shell prompt after that? | 18:01 |
| edbian | userone: There is no hd0 either! | 18:01 |
| spydon | whats the command that shows the log that is good for troubleshooting? if you know what I mean... | 18:01 |
| edbian | userone: hda is the harddrive, hda1 is partition 1... | 18:01 |
| B4ckB0ne | edbian, tonido is a fileshareing server on a php basis which brings its own sql and stuff | 18:01 |
| [manas] | jedc, ? | 18:02 |
| edbian | spydon: "dmesg" is good for looking for general system errors | 18:02 |
| bankix | edbian: In the menu.lst there is _indeed_ hd0 etc.! | 18:02 |
| spydon | edbian, exactly what I meant | 18:02 |
| spydon | thx | 18:02 |
| edbian | bankix: Oohh! In grub notation yes. | 18:02 |
| edbian | spydon: NP | 18:02 |
| userone | edbian: now you have me confused! the howto i am using says to amend the /boot/grub/menu.lst file but there is a different entry depending on if "Vista is installed to the first partition of the first IDE hard drive:" (which gives the entry root hd0,0) or "Vista is installed to the first partition of the first SATA/SCSI hard drive:" (which gives the entry root sd0,0) | 18:02 |
| jedc | [manas], you are trying to use ssh to login to zion-desktop? | 18:02 |
| bankix | userone: Just ignore the last line from edbian. Use hd0 etc. | 18:03 |
| jMyles | [manas]: It looks like you did connect. | 18:03 |
| edbian | userone: I'm sorry to confuse. Grub starts counting at 0 so (hd0,0) would be harddrive 1 partition1 | 18:03 |
| edbian | userone: bankix: lol, yes ignore me if I'm confusing. I'll shut up now unless further solicited. | 18:03 |
| bankix | edbian: np, we're all human... okay, most at least are #-) | 18:04 |

| colin100121 | anyone know why package manager fails and I find I need to reinstall ubuntu from scratch? | 18:04 |
| bankix | colin100121: No, we don't. Because we have not a single detail... | 18:05 |
| Linux^\ | because the packagemanager failed a needed set of files & caused errors | 18:05 |
| jedc | [manas], ssh does not share an internet connection, it lets you log into from a command line to the other machine | 18:05 |
| Linux^\ | u can boot into terminal & try apt-fix | 18:05 |
| sipior | colin100121: that's a fairly general question. excessive sunspot activity? | 18:05 |
| colin100121 | I have the error message reported if anyone is interested | 18:05 |

| apoleo12 | hey... I have a load error that it cant find the defkeymap... running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local) find keymap: no such file or directory. Cannot find defkeymap. how t solve this? i had put in the entry before but it still happening | 18:06 |
| userone | bankix: edbian: ok, so here is another confusing thing (for me at least!). The vista hdd is formatted as ntfs to 100GB (102400) , but when it appears on my ubuntu desktop the size become 107GB! this is too much error to be down to calculating disk space? | 18:06 |
| bankix | userone: Different bases for "kilo" and "mega". | 18:07 |
| colin100121 | well I cant start package manager and it reports this: | 18:07 |
| colin100121 | 'E:Encountered a section with no Package: header, E:Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/gb.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_jaunty-updates_restricted_binary-i386_Packages, E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.' | 18:07 |
| colin100121 | anyone understand what that means? | 18:07 |
| [manas] | jMyles, so whit that program i opened a tunnel yes?? now i want to use my browser | 18:07 |
| jMyles | [manas]: No, you didn't open a tunnel - not this time. Go back to the tutorial - you'll see you need some parameters. | 18:07 |
| jedc | [manas], ssh does not open a tunnel unless you use some command line options | 18:07 |
| jedc | [manas], and then you need to set up firefox to use a different port than the normal one for internet | 18:08 |
| munky | can anybody here give me some instructions how to install my brother dcp-357c (printer)? | 18:08 |
| bankix | colin100121: Rename that file and all others starting with the same name into a different directory. Then call "apt-get update" and look what it says. | 18:08 |
| harcoal | I think ssh -D 9999 username@sshserver should work | 18:08 |
| jedc | [manas], i use ssh -N -f -L 3308:localhost:3306 jed@thehost for remote mysql administration for instance | 18:09 |
| colin100121 | okay thanks, will try that | 18:09 |
| jedc | [manas], which makes your local machines port 3308 act as 3306 on the host machine | 18:09 |

| mickster04 | munky, what have you tried so far | 18:10 |
| [manas] | jedc, now u made me more confused | 18:10 |
| jedc | [manas], just follow the tutorial, i dont know all the ssh command line options i just found an example online | 18:10 |
| jedc | [manas] man ssh might help, or might make you more confused | 18:11 |

| jiohdi | anyone know why skype does not show up on the add/remove list? | 18:12 |
| mickster04 | jiohdi, have u tried synaptic package manager | 18:13 |
| jedc | [manas], if that is what you typed then i suspect your difficulty is in not setting up firefox to use port 9999 to connect to the internet | 18:13 |
| jiohdi | mick, that is how I installed it | 18:13 |
| [manas] | i did diferent port | 18:13 |
| mickster04 | jiohdi, well thats how u uninstallit too then | 18:13 |
| harcoal | [manas] open firefox and choose edit>preferences>advanced>network>setttings, then choose manual proxy, socks4 with the server set as localhost with port 9999 | 18:13 |
| mickster04 | munky, i rpesume uv checked out ubuntu forums | 18:14 |
| jiohdi | mick, I am still new, did not know they were different | 18:14 |
| munky | ok i'll do that i'll return later propably^^ | 18:14 |
| jedc | [manas], do this on the same machine that you created the ssh tunnel on | 18:14 |
| mickster04 | jiohdi, well i dont understand how they are but if it doesnt appear in add/remove before install it wont after...? | 18:15 |

| mickster04 | !vnc | 18:15 |
| ubottu | VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 18:15 |
| colin100121 | if I can get permissions to rename that file wah! | 18:15 |
| harcoal | [manas] it's probably best to use a high port number like 9999 to be sure | 18:15 |
| jiohdi | mickster, I dont know, but you are correct, it is listed in synaptic | 18:16 |
| Darkorical | Can anyone help me with a couple Mirrored server questions | 18:16 |
| jedc | [manas], lower port numbers are reserved for certain things, e.g. 22 for ssh, 80 for internet normally i think | 18:16 |
| mickster04 | !tab | jiohdi | 18:17 |
| ubottu | jiohdi: You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 18:17 |

| jedc | [manas], which one? | 18:20 |
| [manas] | jedc, same whit ssh | 18:20 |

| B4ckB0ne | how to find out which files were copied to my harddrive by a package? | 18:23 |

I checked my fstab file, so if I # out the line /dev/sda1 /media/media ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_GB.UTF-8 0 0, this will stop it mounting automatically? i will still be able to mount /unmount manually? | 18:23 |

| colin100121 | bankix I cant rename the file, seems to be restricted by package manager | 18:24 |

| linex | I have an nvidia video card NV34 [GeForce FX 5200]. It has a TV out connector. I connect it to my crt TV. Kubuntu started ok until KDM (X) starts, the screen became totally black. Am I missing something here ? | 18:24 |
| bankix | colin100121: You have to be root on the command line and to close the package manager of course. | 18:24 |
| [manas] | jedc i know i was just testing | 18:24 |
| colin100121 | that's the problem, I can't get it to close, its got a stop icon running | 18:25 |
| fccf | linex: you will need to use nvidia-settings to setup a second monitor | 18:25 |
| jedc | [manas], the ssh tunnel is not 2 ways, port 9999 on the remote machine will not be bound to anything | 18:25 |

| jedc | userone, i think you actually want it in fstab, but you need to change the options so it doesnt mount automatically, but still has a default mount point, i dont know how to do that exactly you will need to read up on fstab options | 18:27 |

| jennie | frostburn i am updating the nvidia driver i have the .run file at my desktop and by pressing crtl +alt +f2 i am able to login as root user but dont know what to do after that :-( | 18:33 |
| frostburn | fsuj, firefox is already installed in ubuntu, if you want to run 3.5, install it from the repositories | 18:33 |
| Darkorical | I agree on that part but they want me to make both servers mirror eachother and what ever system I choose to use do acheive that I wish for it to be able to handle the mysql aspect of it as well | 18:34 |
| alankila_ | jennie: tried to just install nvidia-glx-180 or something? | 18:34 |

| alankila_ | jennie: ok, but are you aware that you can probably get this same stuff from ubuntu repositories too? | 18:35 |
| frostburn | Darkorical, do you want a HA setup? if so, i'd recommend block level mirroring between the two servers with a san | 18:35 |
| colin100121 | do I just move all the gb.archive. files? | 18:35 |

| jennie | but how to install thru the root user | 18:37 |
| jennie | thru terminal | 18:37 |
| ejv | wiiguy: I suggest splurging for a usb cdrom then | 18:37 |
| DaZ | jennie: sh filename | 18:37 |
| arcanez | is it possible to clone an ubuntu installation from one harddrive to another? | 18:37 |
| jedc | jennie, i dont know how to do it through terminal :p but it will prompt you for you password and do it as root | 18:37 |
| wiiguy | i heard something about network boot | 18:37 |
| linex | fccf: I wasn't at first but there was problem, so I sudo nvidia-setting | 18:37 |
| wiiguy | is that also possible ? | 18:37 |
| frostburn | arcanez, yes, you can use the command dd for that | 18:37 |
| linex | fccf: I know how Twinview turn out like. What it means Separate X Screen ? | 18:38 |
| [manas] | jedc, ok done | 18:38 |
| arcanez | frostburn: is there docs on that? | 18:38 |
| jennie | jedc , i logged in as a root but the command "dir" is not working coz i want to reach to desktop | 18:38 |
| frostburn | arcanez, man dd otherwise google it, there's plenty out there, just be careful of your arguments as you might inadvertently destroy your disk | 18:39 |
| nicklas_ | yo | 18:39 |
| jennie | i logged in as a root but the command "dir" is not working coz i want to reach to desktop | 18:39 |
| [manas] | jedc, im gonna do now $ssh -D 9999 username@ip-address-of-ssh-server | 18:39 |
| thiebaude | wiiguy, http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ | 18:39 |
| jennie | [23:08] <arcanez> frostburn: is there docs on that? | 18:39 |
| jedc | jennie, use cd or pushd to change directories, ls shows you everything in the current directory | 18:39 |
| wiiguy | ty will try it :) | 18:39 |
| fccf | linex: Twinview allows for dragging from one screen to another .. a seperate x screen is litterally another whole xserver, which requires alot more resources | 18:39 |
| jedc | [manas], ok, good | 18:39 |
| jedc | jennie, as i said though i dont know how to install the drivers from the command line | 18:39 |
| fccf | linex: were you able to detect the second display? | 18:40 |
| jedc | jennie, it does it as root from the graphical interface though | 18:40 |
| linex | fccf: Ah I see. Yes, I was able to detect the second display | 18:40 |
| thiebaude | wiiguy, i've used it many times | 18:40 |
| linex | fccf: in fact, I am already using Twinview right now. | 18:40 |
| wiiguy | thiebaude so it works good ? | 18:40 |
| jennie | jedc ok but how to go to desktop after logging as root user coz dir is not working | 18:40 |
| thiebaude | wiiguy, yes | 18:41 |
| === aaron is now known as TiMiDo | ||
| wiiguy | ok :) | 18:41 |
| fccf | linex: once you save the config, restart your x server and you should be good to go ... although it might take you a few tries to get it working right | 18:41 |
| linex | fccf: just curious , how do I switch screens if I were using SeparateX screens ? | 18:41 |
| jedc | jennie, you dont need to log in as root user, and i dont know what dir does, from your normal user account go to System->administration->Hardware drivers | 18:41 |
| [manas] | jedc, done http://paste.ubuntu.com/252057/ | 18:41 |
| linex | fccf: I can just drag the mouse across. | 18:42 |
| wiiguy | thiebaude when i find out how it completty works and wich os i want on it i will try it :D | 18:42 |
| [manas] | jedc, so now i can try to connect? | 18:42 |
| linex | fccf: I think I should just forget about separate X screen | 18:42 |
| jedc | [manas], ok, so now open firefox on the same machine you just typed that in | 18:43 |
| fccf | linex: dual-head = 2 mice 2 KB 2 Vid .. One CPU | 18:43 |
| thiebaude | wiiguy, ok | 18:43 |
| jedc | [manas], then go to edit->preferences | 18:44 |
| linex | fccf: ok I think its not for me. Twinview is more like the one in Windows. | 18:44 |
| jedc | [manas], click on advanced, then the network tab, then settings | 18:44 |
| linex | fccf: What about Xinerama, is that synonymous with Twinview ? | 18:44 |

| colin100121 | bankix, thankyou for your help, I ended up removing all the files in the folder and re-running the package manager to fix it | 18:46 |

| ahz | Is there a special package I need for my English Ubuntu to show GTK+ apps such as Gedit in Ukranian? | 18:47 |
| kickAss | thanks: fccf | 18:47 |
| [manas] | jedc, u mean put proxy yes i did | 18:47 |
| linex | fccf: You mean Xinerama and Twinview is different ? | 18:47 |
| colin100121 | had to move all the files in the folder but it got package manager working again thanks | 18:47 |
| fccf | linex: yep.. confusing isn't it | 18:47 |
| colin100121 | also meant a very large update | 18:47 |
| linex | fccf: In what use case scenorio would one use separate X screen | 18:48 |

| linex | fccf: ok. Thanks | 18:49 |
| joakimk | I'm about to format my HD, to reinstall a dual boot with XP and Ubuntu. However, before I begin, what are the tools I'll need? What do I use to partition the disk? | 18:49 |
| Guest20520 | so what outher thing's you can do with a linux | 18:49 |
| rski | Guest20520: whatever you want. | 18:50 |
| jedc | joakimk, just the ubuntu cd, it has a partitioner that will run when you are installing | 18:50 |
| MaskedDriver | rski, +1 | 18:50 |
| icarus | how do i set up a static ip address in 9.04 | 18:50 |
| Guest20520 | i what to do a lot | 18:50 |
| joakimk | jedc: So you're suggesting I install Ubuntu before XP? | 18:50 |
| fccf | joakimk: install XP first ... after is is installed it will repartition the windows disk and use the rest of the drive | 18:50 |
| MaskedDriver | Guest20520, well, Linux is completely open-source, so you can LITERALLY do whatever you want with enough know-how and a little sweat | 18:51 |
| joakimk | fccf: Do you mean the Ubuntu installer will repartition the drive? | 18:51 |
| fccf | joakimk: yep | 18:51 |
| jedc | joakimk, i havent done this myself, but that would work, also you can install xp first, then resize it smaller and setup the rest of the partitions furing the ubuntu install if you want | 18:51 |
| [manas] | jedc, i know how to use proxys , just when i put it to firefox is just doesnt work like i put some bad one | 18:51 |
| Guest20520 | can u become a hacker useing a linux | 18:51 |
| minimec | joakimk: Give one big partition ro winXP, then seperate the linux diskspace, to give /home its own partition. I would give 10-15 GB to the / and the rest for /home. | 18:51 |
| MaskedDriver | joakimk, I always install Windows first | 18:51 |
| colin100121 | or do what I did and buy a seperate drive for ubuntu | 18:52 |
| MaskedDriver | colin100121, +1 | 18:52 |
| colin100121 | I have XP on one drive and Ubuntu on the other | 18:52 |
| fccf | joakimk: I find it alot easier to install XP first, unless you have 2 physical HD's | 18:52 |
| ahz | 'sudo apt-get install language-support-translations-uk' does not show gedit/GTK+ apps in Ukranian. Am I missing something? | 18:52 |
| Guest20520 | can you become a hacker useing a linux | 18:52 |
| Guest20520 | ? | 18:52 |
| jedc | Guest20520, using linux wont make you a 'hacker' but it is still fun and interesting and you can learn a lot, and it is a great platform for programming and other activities that 'hackers' often engage in | 18:53 |
| MaskedDriver | Guest20520, -1 for trolling | 18:53 |
| Guest20520 | what is trolling | 18:53 |
| MaskedDriver | joakimk, make sure you install grub, or you won't be able to get back into Windows | 18:53 |
| Guest20520 | ? | 18:53 |
| durt | ahz, you need to be running the ukranian translations, ask in the ukranian channel. | 18:53 |
| joakimk | fccf: But if I install XP first, it will "eat" the entire drive, no? So Ubuntu will simply reformat a partition "from" XP? | 18:53 |
| maco | Guest20520: being a jerk, saying things to get a rise out of people | 18:53 |
| maco | !trolling | Guest20520 | 18:53 |
| ubottu | Guest20520: trolling / trollish behaviour is behaviour that is considered annoying by other channel users, this includes going offtopic, asking the same question time and again getting answered and not acknowledging the answer, and these are not the only ways behaviour can be considered trolling, please see /msg ubottu guidelines - if this applies to you, you may find yourself outside the channel | 18:53 |
| grawity | joakimk: Ubuntu will just resize the XP's partition to make some space. | 18:54 |
| frostburn | joakimk, you can define in the windows xp install what partition to install to | 18:54 |
| joakimk | MaskedDriver: But grub I can install at any time within Ubuntu, right? | 18:54 |
| Supersaiyan_IV | Guest20520, answer, no, go to a different channel do discuss hacking | 18:54 |
| jedc | [manas], i dont know what the problem is, i suspect there is a problem setting up the SOCKS proxy, but i cant help since i dont know how you did it | 18:54 |
| minimec | joakimk: you can define the exact diskspace you want to give XP in the XP setup/installation tool. | 18:54 |
| MaskedDriver | joakimk, give me 1 second... I'll get you a really good documentation on duel-booting | 18:54 |
| [manas] | jedc, maybe i need something to be intall on ubuntu some socks packedge or something | 18:54 |
| fccf | joakimk: ubuntu will 'shrink' the windows drive, and give you the choice of how much | 18:54 |
| joakimk | MaskedDriver: :) | 18:54 |
| jedc | [manas], did you use localhost? or 127.0.0.1 for the host, because ive tried and had problems using localhost | 18:55 |
| joakimk | fccf: Sounds great! Then I don't need to hassle with PartitionMagic and the likes? | 18:55 |
| MaskedDriver | joakimk, http://apcmag.com/how_to_dual_boot_windows_xp_and_linux_xp_installed_first.htm | 18:55 |
| joakimk | fccf: Seem to remeber the last time I needed a floppy drive... :( | 18:55 |
| MaskedDriver | follow this step-by-step and you won't have any problem | 18:55 |
| jedc | joakimk, gparted, the partition editor included in the install cd works great | 18:55 |
| lintel | Hi, | 18:56 |
| lintel | I'm trying to provide Brasero a set of FLAC files, in order | 18:56 |
| lintel | to burn it on a 700Mb CD-R. | 18:56 |
| lintel | After clicking on "Burn", it blocks at the "Normalizing tracks" step. | 18:56 |
| ahz | durt: The problem is I don't actually know Ukranian! I am a developer testing a Ukranian translation quirk for my app | 18:56 |
| FloodBot3 | lintel: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 18:56 |
| MaskedDriver | jedc, though it can take a while to use. I hate to say it, but Vista/Win7's partitioner is much quicker | 18:56 |
| [manas] | jedc, IT WORKING | 18:56 |
| [manas] | jedc, i used local host | 18:56 |
| fccf | joakimk: If you download the desktop cd ... ubuntu will load the entire operating system from the disk allowing you to test things... don't worry . windows will still be there with a full ubuntu OS running from the CD | 18:56 |
| [manas] | jedc, but it works whit 127.0.0.1 | 18:57 |
| vlad_ | why is the interfaces file empty | 18:57 |
| jedc | [manas], thats great :D | 18:57 |
| userone | hey! I'm back. i modifed my grub bootloader to boot vista, but now my other laptop is hung at the grub> command prompt. what do i enter to get back into ubuntu? | 18:57 |
| MaskedDriver | joakimk, that URL is for 8.04, but the same basic rules apply for 9.04, | 18:57 |
| [manas] | jedc, but that on a same machine how to make it working on a diferent?? | 18:58 |
| durt | ahz, then you know more than me, better to ask in #ubuntu-devel or #ubuntu-motu. | 18:58 |
| joakimk | fccf: jedc, MaskedDriver: Thanks guys :) | 18:59 |
| jedc | [manas], the same way, set up a tunnel to the host and then configure firefox to use the socks proxy | 18:59 |
| jedc | joakimk, no problem, good luck with the install | 18:59 |
| vlad_ | all i have in it is auto lo iface lo inet loopback | 18:59 |
| MaskedDriver | userone, short answer -> you're cooked... | 18:59 |
| jedc | MaskedDriver, i can believe it, gparted takes a while, but i know it works and i dont have or trust windows :p | 19:00 |

| jgoo | ulimit has a way of limiting a process to a cpu time - is there a way of limiting a process to a realtime? | 19:01 |
| kaddi | grawity woah, that looks complicated. What is the difference between the 2 commands? Does find look outside the actual folder? | 19:02 |
| [manas] | jedc even on same machine where is shh-servr it didnt work when i tryed to use 198.164.1.64 ip it only wokred when i used 127.0.0.1 | 19:02 |
| jgoo | kaddi, find is horrendously programmed | 19:02 |
| grawity | kaddi: The 'find' one looks inside subfolders -- and it also won't break if filenames have spaces. | 19:02 |
| grawity | kaddi: And, what jgoo said. | 19:03 |
| heatmzzr | how do i install (correctly) a .tar.gz file? | 19:03 |
| jgoo | kaddi, more tha once I've had to which find / see what version I am running because of a bug, and the API was written by someone from Alaska | 19:03 |
| jedc | [manas], i dont understand, what are you trying to do? you need a ssh server running on whichever machine you want to use as a proxy, when you set up 127.0.0.1 as your host on port 9999 it is actually going through the ssh tunnel you set up and using the machine withe the servers port 80 for internet | 19:03 |
| MaskedDriver | heatmzzr, .tar.gz is a compressed file like .zip... you need to uncompress it | 19:03 |
| MaskedDriver | heatmzzr, then there is a very good chance there is documentation on how to install the software inside of there | 19:03 |
| jgoo | heatmzzr, tar -xvf nameof.tar.gz | 19:03 |
| vlad_ | COME ON | 19:04 |
| jedc | heatmzzr, to uncompress right click and extract here, or tar -xzf filename like jgoo said | 19:04 |
| Caerbannog | heatmzzr, you really need to uncompress it, cd into folder and read the "install" or 'readme' file | 19:04 |
| jgoo | grawity, ulimit - as I feared, only does cputime limits... can I put a shell / process up that will reliably an hero after a certain time? | 19:04 |
| kaddi | grawity and jgoo thanks :) I'll stick to grep as long as it works then. :p (I just want to look through my IM logs, all in the same folder, no spaces.) | 19:05 |
| grawity | jgoo: Besides "sleep 15; kill -9 pid"? | 19:05 |
| jgoo | grawity, oooooooh. wow. simple solution... I like... will I have the pid then... hrm, I'd need to grab it using that script I wrote... | 19:05 |
| jedc | [manas], so i think you have it working how you wanted it to | 19:05 |
| [manas] | jedc no | 19:06 |
| [manas] | jedc 1 sec | 19:06 |
| grawity | jgoo: If you are starting the app using &, then try $! or something. | 19:06 |
| jgoo | grawity, I have code that runs and kills a process, but under high loads, the server, get this... cannot message the processes reliably within 1 second, so the message is ignored. wow. | 19:06 |
| jgoo | grawity, this might be work looking at | 19:06 |
| grawity | kill -9 is always reliable :) | 19:07 |
| grawity | jgoo: pgrep/pkill may also be useful if you know the process name but not the pid. | 19:07 |
| jgoo | grawity, actually I am using kill -9 --- I can't figure out how it doesn't run :( | 19:07 |
| ahz | the answer to my question was 'sudo apt-get install language-pack-gnome-uk' to show gedit/GTK+ apps in Ukranian | 19:07 |

| codeshah | hey guys, I am trying to install webmin from apt-get but it requires some stuff, but those things are not bieng installed automtiacally [dependencies] | 19:09 |
| Ushaib | Hi. I'm trying to burn an audio CD with Brasero, and it's hell to add music files. It says I can drag files from the file manager, but when I click a file in Nautilus, Brasero is minimized (rather than just losing focus), and I can't drag any files to it. Adding files manually is hell because the file dialog doesn't remember my last directory: I have to click 5 times before I get there, for every single file. | 19:09 |
| === pauljw_vm is now known as pauljw | ||
| jedc | [manas], so you made the ssh tunnel and you were using firefox on your laptop correct? | 19:09 |

| danbhfive | !webmin | codeshah | 19:09 |
| ubottu | codeshah: 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. | 19:09 |

| detrix | Hello everyone. I am writing a program, actually a tutorial in gtk. I am trying to compile it, in C. it compiles but the linker spits out a bunch of "multiple definitions" I have been trying to track this down in the forums, but I have not seen an answer. So I am asking here. | 19:15 |
| jedc | MaNU_, otherwise you joined one people were already using | 19:15 |
| jgoo | MaNU_, try joining it then | 19:15 |
| MaNU_ | kk | 19:15 |

| MaNU_ | jgoo:i have type /join in terminal | 19:16 |
| MaNU_ | ?? | 19:16 |
| jgoo | exactly where you are typing now | 19:17 |
| jedc | [manas], which computer did you type the ssh -D command and were setting up the proxy in firefox on? | 19:17 |
| jgoo | instead of typing ?? type | 19:17 |

| jedc | [manas], if it was your laptop then you have it working, otherwise the ssh tunnel is a little redundant | 19:17 |
| CaptainCrook | anyway to sudo save project file in systemfile from a gui app? | 19:18 |
| MaNU_ | thanks everyone | 19:18 |
| jedc | [manas], that is the problem, you need to do the ssh command from your laptop and then setup the proxy exacty the same way on your laptop | 19:18 |
| jgoo | MaNU_, you didn't join a channel yet though | 19:18 |
| jgoo | MaNU_, pro-tip, just try it now | 19:18 |

| codeshah | danbh, ah, yes... it is from ebox's own repository ... I should go ask them eh? | 19:28 |
| Gm4n | there's no error; the windows boot screen appears for a second then the laptop reboots | 19:29 |

| ikonia | xorred: why ? | 19:29 |
| userone | donspaulding: WAIT! I just used the live cd to do that with vista and the filesystem is now messed up | 19:29 |
| xorred | it dies on second reboot | 19:29 |
| xorred | I follow all online instructions I can find | 19:29 |
| randomLik | umwh too crowdede here :&/ | 19:29 |
| ikonia | xorred: define "dies" | 19:29 |
| xorred | second reboot - and it can't find the "CD" | 19:29 |
| Gm4n | ikonia: well, it didn't appear in the grub menu.lst, so I had to code it in myself. After some futzing around, I got it this far, but I'm not sure I set it all up right | 19:29 |
| danbhfive | codeshah: yeah, and I only have 0.12 ebox available. Maybe you should check your sources? | 19:29 |
| [manas] | jedc ssh | 19:29 |
| donspaulding | userone: which FS? ubuntu or windows? | 19:30 |
| codeshah | danbh, do you have it installed from the ubuntu repositories? Maybe I should do that | 19:30 |
| xorred | I even created a special USB with the special initrd etc as in all online instructions I could find | 19:30 |

| xorred | yea first reboot sorry | 19:30 |
| danbhfive | codeshah: I don't have it installed, but I'm looking at the version numbers, etc | 19:30 |
| userone | donspaulding: ubuntu | 19:30 |
| ikonia | xorred: how far does it get to boot before it complains | 19:30 |
| jedc | [mamas], try ps -e | grep ssh and kill the ssh process's, its probably running a tunnel from when you tried earlier | 19:30 |
| xorred | install - reboot - and it needs to mount the "CD" again | 19:30 |

| codeshah | danbh, ok, now installing from main repositories, deleted the ebox repos... | 19:31 |
| xorred | the Server for 8.04 does reboot once and then continue with the installation after the reboot | 19:31 |
| donspaulding | userone: with jaunty or karmic? | 19:31 |
| xorred | but it can't as it can't find the CD | 19:31 |
| xorred | and it's a USB... | 19:31 |
| guntbert | xorred: did you know that there is a channel #ubuntu-server too? | 19:31 |
| xorred | design flaw | 19:31 |

| FloodBot3 | xorred: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 19:31 |
| jedc | [manas], try a different port then, like 9900 | 19:31 |
| xorred | no it is as most servers don't have CD... | 19:31 |
| [manas] | jedc i did | 19:31 |
| userone | donspaulding: i admit i could have made the error, so just use with caution. JJ 9.04 64bit | 19:31 |

| [manas] | jedc and it doesnt work | 19:32 |
| xorred | ikonia: you ever installed from usb the server? | 19:32 |
| danbhfive | codeshah: yeah, if you are using ebox repos, you should ask them about getting it working | 19:32 |
| xorred | if not stfu | 19:32 |
| ikonia | xorred: they didn't, it sounds like you've not got the process | 19:32 |
| ikonia | xorred: never done a server install, but done the desktop many times, and it's the same thing | 19:32 |
| xorred | it sounds you're talking stuff you never did | 19:32 |
| xorred | lol same thing | 19:32 |
| xorred | you make me laugh | 19:32 |

| Kris07 | Hi, I just have a quick question. Is there a way to put your album art on to your iPod? | 19:32 |
| Revrus | xorred, you can do a pxe install | 19:32 |
| jedc | xorred, you need to make sure the boot order is looking for usb, not all bios's support booting from usb, ubuntu-server is basically ubuntu without a graphical desktop environment, not very different | 19:32 |
| ikonia | !install > xorred | 19:33 |
| ubottu | xorred, please see my private message | 19:33 |
| ikonia | xorred: double check the steps in the link ubottu has sent you | 19:33 |
| jedc | [manas], oh, an you changed the proxy configuration to use the same port as with ssh? | 19:33 |
| xorred | no jedc, it mounts ok the first time | 19:33 |
| xorred | but it can't find the "CD" on first reboot after the initial setup steps | 19:33 |
| ikonia | xorred: double check the steps in the link ubottu has sent you | 19:33 |
| Revrus | xorred, did you try a pxe install? | 19:33 |
| xorred | lol ikonia... ok I'll just /ignore | 19:34 |
| firecrotch | xorred: After the first reboot, your system should be good to go | 19:34 |
| xorred | Revrus: I'll try pxe | 19:34 |
| jedc | xorred, if you are trying to install software then you should edit /etc/apt/sources.list and comment out the cd, just use the network | 19:34 |
| ikonia | xorred: why is that funny, have you checked the URL that ubottu sent you | 19:34 |
| xorred | firecrotch: you've never installed the server too, right? | 19:34 |
| [manas] | jedc, first time i heart what | 19:34 |

| userone | donspaulding: fortunately i just finished fresh installs of vista and jaunty. looks like I will have to start again | 19:34 |
| xorred | no it does Not, as it's a USB install of the SERVER | 19:34 |
| xorred | not the Desktop | 19:34 |
| ikonia | xorred: the desktop and server install are the same process | 19:34 |
| [manas] | jedc, how to do it? | 19:34 |
| jedc | [manas], what? | 19:34 |
| Revrus | xorred, this will require another machine running linux https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PXEInstallServer | 19:35 |

| ibuclaw | xorred, you could use UNetBootIn to copy the Server ISO onto the USB pendrive | 19:38 |
| Revrus | xorred, since you seem so paranoid that your talking to inexperienced people, ive done this for a friends machine as a replacement for a bsd server which he was starting to completely hate, its the same process | 19:38 |
| userone | donspaulding: anyway, the vista should be intact. that takes ages to reinstall. jj 64 is very quick in comparison, and i have good backups of the data | 19:38 |
| jedc | [manas], im not sure then, if ssh worked, then firefox should, you sure you did everything on your laptop this time right? nothing on the desktop? | 19:38 |
| [manas] | grawity, i know does the way i done | 19:38 |
| megra | strange, well, there are some tools in command line, but i don't know them. And I hope you are not willing to resize the / partition, cause it will fail (ssh still used) | 19:39 |
| [manas] | jedc, yes only on the laptop nothing on desctop | 19:39 |
| Kris07 | Hi, I just have a quick question. Is there a way to put your album art on to your iPod? | 19:39 |
| apoleo12 | When I type sudo fsck, /dev/sdc5 is mounted, I get a message says 'WARNING!!! running e2fsck on a mounted filesystem may cause severe filesystem damage. Do I really want to continue? | 19:39 |
| [manas] | jedc, maybe because i was trying on desktop before? | 19:39 |
| megra | apoleo12, no you don't ! | 19:39 |
| strange | megra: thats indeed what im planning :) | 19:40 |
| Revrus | Kris07, not sure exactly how the ipod does its album art, but with an mp3 player i had, as long as you have the album art file in the same folder as the song, it should show it | 19:40 |
| ibuclaw | __theIdiotBox, without recompiling kernel with PAE, you're only option is 64bit I think. | 19:40 |
| megra | apoleo12, you need to unmount the partition first : sudo umount /dev/sdc | 19:40 |
| danbhfive | !fsck > apoleo12 | 19:40 |
| apoleo12 | megra: so what command is it to check the HDD for intergity? | 19:40 |
| ubottu | apoleo12, please see my private message | 19:40 |
| jedc | [manas], yes, maybe restart both so you know you dont have any processes lingering from before, dont do anything with the desktop and try again? | 19:40 |
| guntbert | !ipod | Kris07 have you seen | 19:40 |
| ubottu | Kris07 have you seen: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - For the iPhone and the iPod Touch, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod | 19:40 |

| Kris07 | Revrus, Nah that doesn't work | 19:40 |
| [manas] | !iphone | 19:40 |
| megra | apoleo12, but you will maybe have some errors ("device still in use") | 19:40 |
| apoleo12 | I see | 19:41 |
| __theIdiotBox | okey..was just googling ...and yes that is the only option i guess: ibuclaw ...thanks..let me see the viability of this option... | 19:41 |
| Kris07 | Guntbert, I don't have a problem adding tracks, just the album art | 19:41 |
| [manas] | jedc, i know but it didnt :P | 19:41 |
| megra | apoleo12, however, you can force the check at startup via a command (which i forgot) | 19:41 |
| [manas] | jedc, ok let me restart hoppuly it will after | 19:41 |
| apoleo12 | I had a bad crash earlier... was wondering how the OS and HDD integerity are now | 19:41 |
| guntbert | Kris07: sorry, I cannto help, but usually those "hints" contain several usefuls links | 19:41 |
| ibuclaw | __theIdiotBox, ooh ... it looks like the server kernel has PAE enabled | 19:41 |

| megra | apoleo12, do you want to check the / partition ? | 19:42 |
| Seemless | :) | 19:42 |
| jedc | apoleo12, if it is messed up it will probably run fsck automatically when you boot it next time | 19:42 |
| maito | hello | 19:43 |
| megra | apoleo12, if so, : sudo touch forcefsck ; adn then reboot | 19:43 |

| rufensis | Does anyone know where I can find my config file for the network manager vpn client? I set up a vpn yesterday, but I'd like to examine the actual config file and cannot find it in /etc/ppp/peers/ | 19:44 |
| jedc | bullhound, can you connect once the computer boots up? | 19:44 |
| megra | apoleo12, or just (reboot + fsck) : shutdown -rF now | 19:44 |
| apoleo12 | megra: -rF is reboot fsck? | 19:45 |

| nyterage | I'm using nonstandard port for Postfix SMTPD because my isp filters port 25, like most do.

| guntbert | nyterage: ask in ##networking, but you should nut run your own private mail server attached to the internet if you are not *well* experienced with mail servers | 19:49 |
| ibuclaw | __theIdiotBox, it's just that server enables a few more options/optimisations than what generic has been compiled with. | 19:49 |
| jedc | brazz, probably not neccesary, especially if you are behind a router | 19:49 |
| bullhound | [jedc] can u give me any links regrading those issues . . . | 19:49 |

| __theIdiotBox | ibuclaw: thanks...and i'll not create any issues with my current/existing packages, right? so i think i should install that...and i guess later on i can remove/disable that as well, right? | 19:53 |
| yung3r | всем привет | 19:53 |
| Karmic | In order to use fdisk -l you need to use sudo | 19:53 |
| Brazz | You know sometimes I wonder.... Using Script for support might somehow make me vunerable, afterall I have no security whatsoever active atm while using my Ubuntu 9.04... Would there be anti-virus/firewall for linux/ubuntu 9.04 that I could use or any other internet security device that I should be awared of? | 19:53 |
| ikog_ | If I run stuff like "export BLAH=something" from a #!/bin/bash script, it doesn't actually set the variable, if I run it line by line from the prompt, it does. Can anyone explain why? | 19:53 |
| Brazz | !firewall | 19:53 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist | 19:53 |
| __theIdiotBox | ibuclaw: thanks | 19:53 |
| Revrus | userone, it shouldnt, you must of messed up something in the default options too, or it corrupted when you saved | 19:53 |
| jedc | brazz, what i mean is, ubuntu is not vulnerable to viruses in the same way that windows is, and if you are giving out your credit card info etc the real security concern is whether you trust the website and whether they handle your information securely | 19:53 |
| ibuclaw | __theIdiotBox, I only advise that if you use any restricted packages (ie: NViDIA drivers), de-activate them first, then install the server kernel, then when you reboot, activate them again. | 19:54 |
| jedc | brazz, however you could setup firestarter, which is a firewall, i dont have any experience with that though | 19:54 |
| ikog_ | ah apparently I should run it with "source" | 19:54 |
| Brazz | jedc: that was more of an answer I was looking for. | 19:54 |
| Brazz | jedc: thank you. | 19:54 |
| mazda01_ | how would I go about connecting to an x11vnc server at home when the x11vnc server is running on a machine on my internal network, i want to tunnel it through ssh but the problem is that the ssh server is running on comp1 but i want to see the x11vnc server running on comp2. i do have ssh access to comp2 is i first go to comp1. can soneone please assist? | 19:55 |

| ejv | you can always compile your own kernel into a hardened profile | 19:55 |

| alongenemylines | mazda01: if you want to do nice, fast x11 over ssh, look into freenx | 19:55 |
| Jeruvy | !kernel | 19:55 |
| ubottu | The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages | 19:55 |

| mazda01_ | do i need to setup a vpn on the server that has the ssh server running which i have access to from the outside world? | 19:56 |
| ibuclaw | Brazz, what type of firewall setup were you looking for? | 19:56 |
| Revrus | Brazz, while there IS viruses for linux, they are no more then local email spammers, and things that might copy things that are at /home/user/ directory and anywhere else, linux uses permisiion system that will not allow any program to write anywhere but places it has permission, so a virus would have to get root permission, and you would have to give it your root password | 19:56 |
| zion_ | jedc, i restarted now but when i do command it doesnt to nothing just freeze | 19:56 |

| ejv | features like grsecurity, pax, provide protections against stack smashing, buffer overuns, etc. | 19:56 |
| [manas] | jedc, i restarted now but when i do command it doesnt to nothing just freeze | 19:56 |
| alongenemylines | mazda01: you shouldn't need a vpn, just make sure you have the proper ports forwarded | 19:57 |
| ejv | and that bot is wrong, you should by all means play with the kernel, this is linux for crying out loud | 19:57 |
| CoJaBo-Aztec | lol | 19:57 |
| ibuclaw | Brazz, if you are behind a router, you are protected full stop ... so long as you aren't port forwarding/triggering | 19:57 |
| __theIdiotBox | i guess i can click on remove and that will de-activate that, right? : ibuclaw | 19:57 |
| Revrus | userone, sda1 would be (hd0,0) | 19:57 |

| Brazz | Thank you very much guys, you've been rather helpful. | 19:58 |
| mazda01_ | alongenemylines: so i would need to forward what ports. the x11vnc server is running on comp2 port 5900 and I am ssh'd into the comp1 right now. not sure how to set this up which is why i am asking | 19:58 |
| [manas] | jedc, my mistake sorry put wrong ip dumb | 19:58 |
| Brazz | jedc: I was just worried, nothing specific, just worried. | 19:58 |
| jedc | [manas], hehe | 19:58 |
| ibuclaw | Brazz, no problem, though it is just my opinion that having a firewall installed on your OS just protects you from people within your own network. | 19:58 |
| CrAzYoNi | What is the name of the application that allow to run Windows applications under Ubuntu? | 19:58 |
| userone | Revrus: thats what i did before, following the thread. oh well, i will just try again. | 19:59 |
| jedi06 | how do i download flash for firefox | 19:59 |
| jedc | Brazz, understandable, especially if you are coming from a windows background where there is a real danger or keyloggers and trojans being on your computer and such | 19:59 |
| Brazz | jedc: got a few books to read, "Practical UNIX and Internet Security" is among the "Must read" list. | 19:59 |
| ibuclaw | It's the router's job is to drop packets from the outside world... | 19:59 |
| alongenemylines | mazda01: if you're just trying to vnc to a home pc from an outside network, just set up the port forward on your router. | 19:59 |
| Brazz | ibuclaw: would you recomend any firewall? | 19:59 |
| alongenemylines | jedi06: install adobe-flash-plugin through apt-get or synaptic | 19:59 |
| ibuclaw | Brazz, that would depend on what you want out of your firewall. | 19:59 |
| Revrus | Brazz, while i agree with ibuclaw, i believe that firewalls are a tad useless overall, because all they do is block ports for servers taht you would try to be using, and only help when there is an unkown server being ran with secfurity flaws in the coding | 20:00 |
| mazda01_ | alongenemylines: im not at home and the only port i am ever going to open on my home router is port 22, which is already open. | 20:00 |
| Brazz | jedc: indeed, its hard to believe in a place with no crime when you come from somewhere that crime rates are high. | 20:00 |
| Revrus | userone, ok then, good luck | 20:00 |
| ibuclaw | Brazz, if you want "locked down and never to be opened", then I recommend configuring iptables yourself. | 20:00 |
| mazda01_ | alongenemylines: i want to tunnel everything thru the ssh tunnel, like internet browsing and vnc and what not. | 20:00 |
| jedi06 | alongenemylines, i see flashplugin-installer | 20:00 |
| [manas] | jedc doesnt work | 20:00 |
| jedi06 | and it is already installed alongenemylines | 20:00 |
| Brazz | I just dont want to be invaded or somehow get keylogged. | 20:01 |
| ibuclaw | Brazz, if you want "locked down but flexible", then gufw is probably the route to go down. | 20:01 |
| jedc | [manas], the firefox part? | 20:01 |
| userone | Revrus: thanks. if I am not back online soon,you will know everything went well! :-) bye! | 20:01 |

| alongenemylines | mazda01: if ssh is the only port you're going to keep open, and only to 1 syste,. you can either ssh-X to each (which raw x11 packets are very slow), or if you're wanting vnc-like desktops, you need to use freenx | 20:02 |

BIOS doesn't support setting DMA. both the HDD and the chipset support DMA. any ideas? | 20:06 |
| Jeruvy | __theIdiotBox: I think you are asking 'what does that mean?' and that would be full support in a vm. vs. NO or incomplete support in a vm | 20:06 |
| aurax | ikonia, ionice | 20:06 |
| ibuclaw | __theIdiotBox, if when you reboot and things don't quite work, you can easily reboot and go back into the generic kernel, then uninstall the server kernel. | 20:06 |
| ikonia | aurax: pardon ? | 20:06 |
| multiverse | I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 64bit. I installed VMWare, then applied patches. After patching is done I get this error message: http://pastebin.com/d592b207 | 20:07 |
| yovan | sound juicer run on a terminal shows "segmentation fault" | 20:07 |
| jedc | caty, ps -e will show you currently running processes and find the pid of the one you want to kill, then you can type kill <pid>, | 20:07 |
| yovan | can u help me with that..... | 20:07 |
| ibuclaw | __theIdiotBox, installing a new kernel isn't a big thing in Linux. Everything is made to work like lego, snapping on and off. | 20:07 |
| guntbert | caty: use: sudo apt-get remove <package-name> | 20:07 |
| jedc | caty, or pgrep <programname> to get the pid | 20:07 |
| Revrus | multiverse, try "sudo apt-get remove vmmon" | 20:07 |
| jedi06 | in /usr/lib/firefox/plugins i have flashplugin-alternative.so | 20:07 |
| aurax | ikonia ionice in /usr/bin | 20:07 |
| __theIdiotBox | ibuclaw: yes you are right...i should give it a try...its just like putting a new kernel...i can always fall back on the older/working kernel | 20:07 |
| Jeruvy | multiverse: follow it's instructions ,they are not compatible. | 20:07 |
| ikonia | aurax: well it's missing the command it wants - so you'll have to install it | 20:08 |
| caty | Thank you!! jedc and guntbert :) | 20:08 |
| ikonia | multiverse: 3rd part vmware support is in #vmware | 20:08 |
| ikonia | multiverse: the compatability is nothing to do with ubuntu | 20:08 |
| ibuclaw | __theIdiotBox, I just wish I had the privilege to have > 4GB of RAM, then I would test it out for sure :) | 20:08 |
| guntbert | caty: what did you want to do: uninstall or stop the program? | 20:08 |

| AbortedFajitas | Hello All. I am hoping someone can help me.. I have setup LDAP auth on Ubuntu so that the CIO of my company stops bitching about having two seperate passwords. But the only problem is, it is still asking for both the Unix password and LDAP password when authenticating. Is there any way to make it just ask for the LDAP password? | 20:09 |
| yovan | is there a french ubuntu forum guys? | 20:09 |
| caty | guntbert, Un-install a program. | 20:09 |
| ibuclaw | just ping if you need any further assistance | 20:09 |

| Bharani | @ubottu - I am not looking fot JRE. I'm looking for JDK | 20:09 |
| __theIdiotBox | ibuclaw: sure :-) | 20:10 |
| AbortedFajitas | I'm guessing I would have to change a pam.d\common file? | 20:10 |
| guntbert | caty: for uninstallation my command was the right one | 20:10 |
| alongenemylines | jedi06: i use 32 bit... i've seen on various sites about people installing an alpha version of adobe's flash plugin for 64 bit. i've also seen people install 32 bit firefox and adobe flash. search the ubuntu forums, i'm sure you'll find plenty of how-to's there | 20:10 |

| jedc | [manas], it looks like you did "ssh -D 9996 zion@192.168.1.64" from the desktop, you need to do it from the laptop | 20:13 |
| jerkman | hey, i am running out of disk space, i know th obvious solutions, but is there a compression option | 20:13 |
| fccf | jerkman: you got a space before the /msg | 20:14 |
| [manas] | jedc, i did from laptop | 20:14 |
| jerkman | guntbert: fccf thanks, i realise | 20:14 |
| ikonia | jerkman: the command is "compress" and it can compress files | 20:14 |
| jerkman | ikonia: will the files still be openable | 20:14 |
| jedi06 | ikonia, http://pastebin.com/d727583f9 | 20:14 |
| ikonia | jedi06: no, you'd have to uncompress them | 20:14 |
| jedi06 | what | 20:14 |
| jedc | [manas], "zion@zion-desktop:~$ ssh -D 9996 zion@192.168.1.64" your laptop is named zion-desktop? | 20:14 |
| ikonia | jedi06: sorry not you | 20:14 |

| jerkman | fccf: how much space | 20:15 |
| innomen | its a crappy text editor and i want it gone | 20:15 |
| ikonia | innomen: ubuntu-desktop is just a meta package | 20:15 |
| [manas] | jedc, no but i sver i didt in on laptop | 20:15 |
| firecrotch | innomen: ubuntu-desktop is just a meta-package that depends on all the other software | 20:15 |
| jedc | innomen, the gnome desktop environment i think, geddit is a gnome program | 20:15 |
| firecrotch | innomen: it can safely be removed | 20:15 |
| ikonia | innomen: it only takes up a few k of space - why remove it | 20:15 |
| jerkman | ikonia: unfortunately not an option :p | 20:15 |
| innomen | firecrotch, oh good, cool | 20:16 |
| ikonia | jerkman: then you need to manage your storage better | 20:16 |
| muxxx | guys, could somebody help me with my libata (?) problem? | 20:16 |

| jedi06 | ikonia it is just blank | 20:16 |
| jedc | [manas], try again from laptop and post output, maybe you posted the wrong output? | 20:16 |
| Guest58782 | jedi06: ikonia it is just blank | 20:16 |
| jerkman | ikonia: i have a 500gb drive, 89% full | 20:16 |

| jerkman | fccf: how then... | 20:16 |
| mizipzor | to get a game working in wine i was suggested to "try another video driver"... how would i go about that? i know the exact model/name for the card and chipset... but the package repository doesnt give me any good hits | 20:16 |
| * dann can some1 from belgium please translate something for me | 20:16 | |
| jedc | Guest58782, creepy... | 20:17 |
| ikonia | dann: try the belgium loco - this channel is not for translation | 20:17 |
| forceflow | dann: I'm from belgium | 20:17 |
| guntbert | dann: join ##translation, there is a bot that does that for you | 20:17 |
| innomen | ikonia, it's just annoying, there are a billion filetypes it's associated with | 20:17 |
| dann | forceflow: can i pm you plz? | 20:17 |
| forceflow | dann: go ahead | 20:17 |
| ikonia | innomen: associate them with something else | 20:17 |
| KB1JWQ | !pm | 20:17 |

| innomen | ikonia, yea i dont wanna argue about what i want :P | 20:18 |
| ubottu | dan: please see above | 20:18 |
| ikonia | innomen: ok - then don't, I'm just trying to stop you making a mistake for the sake of a few k | 20:18 |
| ikonia | innomen: remove it then | 20:18 |
| guntbert | innomen: you can always right click on a file, open with... | 20:18 |
| [manas] | jedc, it show the same i can make a screen prin if u dont trust me | 20:18 |
| innomen | could i tell the os to swap all gedity associations with scite in one go? | 20:18 |
| imran | I need help, I'm trying to get DRI on my Savage ProDDR (AkA "Twister") and need some help... Anyone??? | 20:18 |
| jerkman | fccf: how do i do that then | 20:18 |
| alongenemylines | you can always use "preffered applications" to change the default editor | 20:18 |
| jedc | [manas], i think i know what happened, you did it once, and then did it again after you were logged into your desktop, try opening another terminal window and doing it | 20:19 |
| jedi06 | should i just try to reinstall? | 20:19 |
| fccf | jerkman: sudo apt-get clean | 20:19 |
| innomen | alongenemylines, that sounds useful | 20:19 |
| jerkman | ok, thanks fccf | 20:19 |
| jedc | [manas], that is what ssh normally does is log into the machine, the -D option makes it so it also makes a tunnel | 20:19 |
| innomen | ikonia, why would removing gedit be a mistake? are the other wrong about "ubuntu desktop" being harmless to remove? | 20:19 |
| innomen | others* | 20:19 |
| imran | I need help, I'm trying to get DRI on my Savage ProDDR (AkA "Twister") and need some help... Anyone?????? | 20:20 |
| ikonia | innomen: nothing, remove it | 20:20 |
| jedc | innomen, nothing wrong except gedit is easy to use for people who dont know how to use vim or emacs :p | 20:20 |

| AbortedFajitas | I setup my ubunto to auth with ldap. Does anyone know how to setup Ubuntu so it only asks for the LDAP password when logging in via the GUI, and not the Unix password also | 20:21 |
| [manas] | jedc, on my laptop i got vista and im using puty maybe that why | 20:21 |
| jedc | [manas], but it didnt say zion@zion-desktop:~$ first right? | 20:21 |
| cubiczee | fair nuf :) | 20:21 |
| innomen | jedc, i love scite for basic text editing, if i want to format or process i'll just open open office, besides everything is easy to reinstall if needed, just got worried about that whole "its gunna take the whole desktop" with it | 20:21 |
| alongenemylines | if you remove the ubuntu-desktop package, there's possibilities that future distro updates may not work properly for you | 20:21 |
| cubiczee | I need to get a garmin working on ubuntu | 20:21 |
| ikonia | AbortedFajitas: can't do it like that | 20:21 |
| cubiczee | it has .srf files | 20:21 |
| AbortedFajitas | bah. | 20:21 |
| cubiczee | I need a gimp plugin | 20:21 |
| jerkman | is there anyway of compressing a drive but only files that havent been touched in a while | 20:21 |
| ikonia | AbortedFajitas: you auth against it - you get the uid/gid you authed against | 20:21 |
| innomen | thanks guys :) | 20:21 |
| [manas] | jedc, on the begining no | 20:21 |
| guntbert | AbortedFajitas: did the link from ubottu provide no help? I meant For more information, installation instructions and getting clients to authenticate via LDAP see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenLDAPServer | 20:22 |

| cubiczee | I'm not putting windows 7 on here for these stupid sony format files | 20:22 |
| [manas] | jedc, let me restart again | 20:22 |
| jedc | [manas], you are using putty to log into the desktop and then trying to ssh i bet, i dont know if putty can make a tunnel, but the command line options might be different | 20:22 |
| fccf | jerkman: how big of a hard drive do you have? and what kind of stuff are you storing on it? | 20:22 |
| AbortedFajitas | It didnt help me. I set it up differently than that | 20:22 |
| yaaar | anybody know if the ubuntu samba package has ldap support? | 20:22 |
| jerkman | fccf: 500gb, 100 / | 20:22 |
| jedc | [manas], you need to make the tunnel from your laptop | 20:22 |
| cubiczee | okay | 20:22 |
| jerkman | 400 /home fccf | 20:22 |
| cubiczee | one sec | 20:22 |
| jerkman | fccf: lots of avi's | 20:23 |
| jedc | [manas], in effect you have been making tunnels from your desktop to itself | 20:23 |
| jedi06 | about:plugins says i have shockwave flash enabled | 20:23 |

| [manas] | jedc, maybe i shuold restart again? | 20:24 |
| jerkman | fccf: yea, there is that option, but i want to figure out compression first | 20:24 |
| jedc | [manas], well, i think you dont understand putty | 20:24 |
| jedc | [manas], putty is ssh for windows | 20:24 |
| cubiczee | this sony format is lossless :) | 20:24 |
| [manas] | jedc so what shuold i use then? | 20:24 |
| jedc | [manas], so if you are using putty and then using ssh you are probably already logged into the desktop | 20:24 |
| guntbert | jerkman: if I remember correctly avi files don't compress well | 20:24 |

| imran | I'm getting this error, any help? http://pastebin.com/m8017fc0 | 20:25 |
| jedc | [manas], how do you start putty? | 20:25 |
| ikonia | imran: you don't have a cvs client installed | 20:25 |
| === ricqlesice is now known as ricqlesice^AFK | ||
| fccf | jerkman: depending on size/quailty of the avi's you could xvid/divx them and make the files smaller, but if they are already in that format you wouldn't be able to shrink them much more, other than making media for mobile device, (tinyfying) | 20:26 |
| guntbert | jerkman: I was saying that you won't gain much from compressing them | 20:26 |

| imran | jedc, thanks, ikonia, thanks you too | 20:26 |
| jerkman | fccf: they are 700mb each, i think divx'd, but dont want to loose quality | 20:26 |
| alongenemylines | you can pass x11 packets to windows using putty... you just need cygwin (huge!) or xming (tiny!) and enable x11 forwarding in putty's options | 20:26 |

| ubottu | AviatoR *don't use "root access"*: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password.

| prince_jammys | dpkg -l | less | 20:28 |

| sz | hello guyz | 20:29 |
| guntbert | AviatoR: you can listen in to the discussion between jedc and [manas] too | 20:29 |
| fccf | jerkman: I am telling you, it is compressed video... you really can't compress it anymore | 20:29 |
| jerkman | ok | 20:29 |
| prince_jammys | vagothcpp: welcome. less is a pager. you can pipe to it whenever output doesn't fit. | 20:29 |

| vagothcpp | Again, thnx | 20:29 |
| aero | sz whats the problem ? | 20:30 |
| prince_jammys | vagothcpp: sorry, 'h' | 20:30 |
| jedc | AviatoR, do you just need command line access to the server? | 20:30 |
| alongenemylines | jerkman: I'll highly recommend you make a few partitions... even all of ubuntu into a single partition, won't really ever even need 15-20GB. amke the rest storage. everyone else is right though. avi's are already compressed, as are png's, jpeg's and almost all audio files | 20:30 |

| Revrus | imran, Xorg should be preinstalled by default, as its what gnome uses to display as a gui, if gnome isnt working, try "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" that will get a GUI up and running | 20:32 |
| fccf | jerkman: divx isn't even DVD quality, divx is about as small as it can get | 20:32 |
| ibuclaw | imran, for what reason? why wouldn't you have X in the first place? | 20:32 |
| spO | guntbert, what do you mean they are not supported here | 20:32 |
| jedc | [manas] yea, that is what i thought, that is equivalent to sshing in to the server from an ubuntu machine and then typing commands, so basically youve been doing everything so far on the desktop, thats why your firefox isnt working with because there is no ssh tunnel on your comp | 20:32 |
| race321 | ya des francais | 20:32 |
| jerkman | fccf: im saying from dvd qual, not from hd | 20:32 |
| race321 | non | 20:32 |
| alongenemylines | ubuntu doesn't support custom kernels | 20:32 |
| mizipzor | to get a game working in wine i was suggested to "try another video driver"... how would i go about that? i know the exact model/name for the card and chipset... but the package repository doesnt give me any good hits | 20:32 |
| alongenemylines | you'd have to re-compile every new kernel release | 20:32 |
| apoleo12 | spO: because kernel isnt ubuntu ;) | 20:32 |
| race321 | sorry | 20:32 |
| race321 | what is | 20:32 |
| [manas] | jedc, let me look for oyher client | 20:33 |
| sz | aero, how can i do that ? | 20:33 |
| apoleo12 | so technically kernel is linux and ubuntu is distro | 20:33 |
| imran | Revrus, ibuclaw sorry I guess Revrus answered my question im still nub to ubuntu - thanks | 20:33 |
| race321 | serveur french?? | 20:33 |

| spO | what does that have to do with this channel thuogh? | 20:33 |
| apoleo12 | because you asked that didnt you | 20:33 |
| alongenemylines | this is basic support. level 2 and higher goes elsewhere | 20:33 |
| alongenemylines | in their own channels | 20:33 |
| guntbert | spO: this is the official ubuntu support channel | 20:33 |

| alongenemylines | jade-monitor: you could make the program search for a specific ubunu conf, etc etc, and make it fail if said file doesn't exist | 20:37 |
| jondavis | well | 20:37 |
| l3dx | tuxxie: nmap at least detects hosts and gives you ip | 20:37 |
| p1oooop | tuxxie: probably... I know windows automatically does that | 20:38 |

| tuxxie | it with our voip network | 20:38 |
| apoleo12 | if I ask a question on grub for ubutnu.. is it still related? | 20:38 |

| Guest46039 | ifconfig gives me my inet address...is it possible for me to choose what i want the ip to be exactly? (like to change it manually i mean) | 20:46 |
| NoMS_ | [manas]: I'm not exactly sure what you are trying to accomplish, but maybe have a look at putty. It's windows based unix console w/ ssh | 20:46 |
| fccf | AbortedFajitas: boot with live disk, change auth-common back | 20:46 |
| alongenemylines | hahaha [manas] said hedicks | 20:46 |

| Xerran | in order to "sudo dpkg -i" do i have to cd into the location of the .deb? | 20:47 |
| alongenemylines | vagothcpp: if you removed the packages with synaptic or apt-get, you should see them gone from dpgk immediately | 20:47 |
| [manas] | alongenemylines, haha | 20:47 |

| alongenemylines | there may be dependencies with similar names still there | 20:47 |
| Yuri1 | which partition is the actual ubuntu partition? is it 'linux-swap'? | 20:47 |

| mickster04 | Guest9773, any clues? | 20:56 |
| rabidweezle | is there a darkplaces/nexuiz irc channel anyone knows about? | 20:56 |

| mickster04 | Guest9773, any error messages etc? | 20:56 |
| [manas] | alongenemylines, dont forget i want to use it at work im not gonna restart pc when i need to use internet | 20:57 |
| alongenemylines | [manas]: portable ubuntu would be awesome for you then | 20:57 |
| goldins | [manas]: do you mean to imply that you can't use the internet from an ubuntu installation? | 20:57 |
| alongenemylines | [manas]: http://portableubuntu.demonccc.com.ar/ - site is really slow | 20:58 |
| goldins | In that case I had better disconnect | 20:58 |
| jedc | [manas], no, once you configure it, you just login with putty, and they setup firefox, use 9999 instead of 3306 | 20:58 |

| jibadeeha | th0r: those are window managers aren't they | 20:59 |
| alongenemylines | SiON42X: it should be fine. it shouldn't remove your .mozilla or .thunderbird folder in your home dir | 20:59 |

| jedc | goldins, he needs to make an ssh tunnel from a windows machine | 21:00 |
| jedc | goldins, so he can use browse internet from work using his home computer | 21:00 |
| SiON42X | Man, I haven't seen windowmaker in a long time. | 21:00 |

| goldins | jedc: ssh -D | 21:00 |
| Pilka | hey everyone :) | 21:00 |
| SiON42X | goldins, you said it probably won't help...why do you say that? | 21:00 |
| jibadeeha | Stumpie: XFCE is a DE | 21:00 |
| mickster04 | hey | 21:00 |
| goldins | jedc: you can set a dynamic port forward in putty | 21:00 |
| munu | hi | 21:00 |
| jibadeeha | th0r: those are window managers | 21:00 |
| Stumpie | de = desktop envoiornment? | 21:00 |
| jibadeeha | oh i give up | 21:00 |
| MOUD | thanks for the input | 21:01 |
| goldins | SiON42X: because you probably didn't screw up your actual thunderbird installation, as you have to be root to do that | 21:01 |
| goldins | MOUD: any time | 21:01 |
| Stumpie | does Xubuntu have compiz? | 21:01 |
| goldins | [manas]: you can set up a dynamic port forward in putty | 21:01 |
| mickster04 | isnt compiz a gnome thing | 21:01 |
| goldins | yeah I think so | 21:01 |
| Stumpie | kde has compiz | 21:01 |
| mickster04 | oh ok | 21:01 |
| SiON42X | goldins: Crap, that's a good point...so it may have corrupted some setting in user defined files then, which won't be deleted. | 21:02 |
| goldins | but I don't use compiz or gnome so I didn't want to say too much | 21:02 |
| jedc | goldins, he has windows xp at work... | 21:02 |
| jedc | would not be a problem from ubuntu | 21:02 |
| goldins | SiON42X: you're smarter than you look :-P | 21:02 |
| Stumpie | I like fluxbox, and xfce | 21:02 |
| alongenemylines | i'm out guys. later. | 21:02 |
| Stumpie | bye | 21:02 |
| SiON42X | goldins: Touche. ;) | 21:02 |
| MOUD | what's the most windows like desktop environment and customizable too? | 21:03 |
| goldins | jedc: dynamic port forward in putty. then set the socks proxy to localhost, at whatever port you set the dynamic port forward to | 21:03 |
| goldins | MOUD: probably kde | 21:03 |
| Stumpie | MOUD, IceWM | 21:03 |
| th0r | MOUD: vista | 21:03 |
| Stumpie | just like windows95 | 21:03 |
| nitor | i would say kde as well | 21:03 |
| OH_U_MAD | hello everyone | 21:03 |
| Bob_Dole | Yay glitches! and it's adobe's fault again I bet. On youtube, the video loaded, but audio failed(no videos are playing audio now) other things make sound. this isn't the first time it has happened... It'll work if I kill firefox, then restart it. | 21:03 |
| nitor | gnome feels more like Mac to me | 21:03 |
| mickster04 | hi | 21:03 |
| mikael | hey guys... i just ran into a serious problem, was wondering if someone could help me out. | 21:03 |
| Stumpie | I like gnome, but fluxbox makes me feel alive and sexy | 21:04 |
| MOUD | th0r: vista? Nice... i'll stick with XP then :P | 21:04 |
| OH_U_MAD | I use Unix | 21:04 |
| nitor | same here stump | 21:04 |
| Bob_Dole | Opened it in a different browser(firefox under WINE this time) and audio plays on the same video. | 21:04 |
| mickster04 | Bob_Dole, can u visit systemdetails.com for me an tell me what it says about ur flash an ff etc | 21:04 |
| OH_U_MAD | Unix is the best OS | 21:04 |

| OH_U_MAD | Oh, sorry | 21:07 |
| jedc | goldins, if you have experience with putty maybe you can walk him through, hes got firefox configured, but i dont have a windows box or putty | 21:07 |
| OH_U_MAD | Do you have any pets? | 21:07 |
| mickster04 | Bob_Dole, hmm so it isnt ur browser | 21:07 |
| OH_U_MAD | I had a dog once | 21:07 |
| OH_U_MAD | I like the box turtle better | 21:07 |
| mickster04 | OH_U_MAD, behave | 21:07 |
| jdoggy | I can't imagine it's that difficult of a fix since the encryption is passphrase based...I don't think it used a file based key | 21:07 |
| Bob_Dole | mickster04, I'm thinking it is a glitch in flash. | 21:07 |
| [manas] | jedc, WORKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | 21:08 |
| OH_U_MAD | Does anyone here have a box turtle | 21:08 |
| jdoggy | I guess my question can be simplified to this: how do I mount/boot an encrypted lvm partition from the textbox/grub command line? | 21:08 |
| OH_U_MAD | besides myself | 21:08 |
| mickster04 | well my flash works fine in that exact same set up | 21:08 |
| jedc | [manas], nice! finally, you got it working with putty? | 21:08 |

| mickster04 | Bob_Dole, well my flash works fine in that exact same set up | 21:08 |
| Bob_Dole | mickster04, so does mine, usually. It was playing audio, then failed, and all youtube videos stopped playing audio(I didn;t try any other sites) I opened one of the videos that was silent in another browser(firefox under WINE) and it worked. | 21:09 |
| OH_U_MAD | <apoleo12> chocolate box turtle? | 21:09 |
| jedc | [manas], awesome, im glad we finally sorted that out hehe | 21:09 |

| goldins | [manas]: hey | 21:10 |
| [manas] | goldins, hey | 21:10 |
| goldins | [manas]: in putty go to tunnels, pick a port above 1024, hit "dynamic" and hit add | 21:10 |
| Bob_Dole | Bridge trolls are the most annoying things. | 21:10 |
| goldins | set up the rest of your connection, and connect | 21:10 |
| mickster04 | Bob_Dole, any add ons that may be blockin it? | 21:10 |
| mikael | anyone want to help this n00b, even though he thinks his server is hosed??? | 21:10 |
| goldins | then in firefox, go to network > advanced > proxies | 21:10 |

| ubottu | mikael: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 21:10 |
| goldins | set a socks proxy to localhost at whatever port you chose | 21:11 |
| goldins | [manas]: you good? | 21:11 |
| [manas] | goldins, and? | 21:11 |
| goldins | and it will route your internet through the ssh connection | 21:11 |
| [manas] | goldins, let me try now | 21:11 |
| goldins | your browsing anyway | 21:11 |
| Bob_Dole | mickster04, only addon is for Gaia Online. It should only affect that particular site. And this is the third time since jaunty was released that I've seen this glitch. Closing firefox and reopening was the only fix I could find those 2 previous times. It's not easily reproducible. | 21:12 |
| jordan | .2 | 21:12 |
| Bob_Dole | mickster04, previously I didn't have that addon* | 21:12 |
| [manas] | goldins, i think it working | 21:12 |
| jedc | goldins, we spend a long time trying to get this to work before i knew he was using xp, he was puttied in and then trying ssh -D | 21:12 |
| [manas] | anyway thanks a lot guys!!! | 21:12 |
| === mac9416 is now known as macOut | ||
| goldins | [manas]: go to a site you know is blocked, probably facebook | 21:12 |
| mickster04 | Bob_Dole, very odd, try disabling it to see if it still does that, it may be a buggy add on? | 21:12 |
| [manas] | goldins, im not at work now | 21:13 |
| goldins | [manas]: incidentally, you should probably install a firefox addon such that you can turn it off easily | 21:13 |
| goldins | quickproxy or something | 21:13 |
| [manas] | jedc thanks a lot for ur time when u`ll be in london stop by i`ll buy u a beer | 21:13 |

| Pilka | does any1 know how to set up new irc network? | 21:15 |
| Bob_Dole | mickster04, disabling the addon requires restarting firefox.. just restarting it will fix it for a good long while :/ | 21:15 |
| goldins | mikael: I wouldn't necessarily bet money on it | 21:15 |
| megra | magdato, press "Alt + F2" and type peercast, and press enter | 21:15 |
| Lupin17o | i nedd some help with wine,.,,, anyone???¿¿¿ | 21:15 |
| jedc | mikael, maybe not the drive, but the system might be borked | 21:15 |
| megra | [manas], ask ! | 21:15 |
| goldins | Lupin17o: find a way around using it. | 21:15 |
| magdato | i cant find peercast there :x | 21:16 |

| mickster04 | Bob_Dole, well untill u figure out what causes it can u survive without the add on? | 21:16 |

| jedc | Xerran, ctrl + x? | 21:16 |

| Bob_Dole | mickster04, is that firefox 3.5? | 21:18 |
| sawyannaing | can anybody explain me | 21:18 |
| goldins | mickster04: it's called firefox3.5 | 21:18 |
| mickster04 | goldins, not on ubuntu | 21:18 |
| mickster04 | Bob_Dole, yes | 21:18 |
| goldins | it will be called firefox by the time karmic comes out | 21:18 |

| sawyannaing | nobody? | 21:18 |
| sawyannaing | help me pls | 21:19 |
| Bob_Dole | mickster04, no, I havn't. but the slowdown is adobe's fault. it's present on OS X, too, but doesn't seem to be nearly as bad. | 21:19 |
| goldins | mickster04: that's silly. | 21:19 |
| jedc | xerran, no, hold control and hit x, then type n. if you havent changed anything you wont have to type n | 21:19 |
| jedc | sawyannaing, probably missing driver for your video card | 21:19 |
| mickster04 | goldins, theres an explaination an it makes sense really | 21:19 |
| goldins | mickster04: yes but it's still silly | 21:19 |
| jedc | sawyannaing, try System->Administration->hardware drivers | 21:19 |
| goldins | also I'm livid with the ubuntu-mozilla people | 21:19 |
| sawyannaing | how to fix it...jedc | 21:19 |
| Pvpeter | I just updated my FF to 3.5 with ubuntuzilla | 21:20 |
| chessnutmushroom | guys, i just had a power cut and lost my usb drive due to read error, how can i re-read the usb device so that i can remount it without disconnecting the drive? | 21:20 |
| goldins | chessnutmushroom: it will just be faster if you disconnect the drive | 21:20 |
| jedc | sawyannaing, check to see if there is an available driver in hardware drivers, click it and click activate | 21:20 |
| chessnutmushroom | what if it was remote computer? | 21:21 |
| sawyannaing | only i can see it ....for networking purpose | 21:21 |
| mickster04 | chessnutmushroom, it the mount command, i cant remember how it works tho | 21:21 |
| goldins | you might find a way to reread the usb bus but disconnecting and reconnecting will definitely work, while rereading the usb bus might not | 21:21 |

| fg56lx | I'm having some problems with sound. When ever I listen to music for any length of time (in any media player) the sound skips and glitches frequently. I know its not the files that have the problem as ive played them numerous times with no problems. Its not the hardware becuase it didnt do it when i got it (windows was on it) it worked with ubuntu for a few months just fine untill it started doing this, and sound runs fine from a live cd. I've | 21:22 |
| fg56lx | using the default engine, as well as pluseaudio, and they both do the same thing. CPU usage is also not high while this skipping is occuring. Ive also reinstalled twice, and it still does it. What would cause this to happen, and how can I fix it? | 21:22 |
| jedc | Xerran, that will work, ctrl + w is save, it should have these commands at the bottom of the screen | 21:22 |
| MOUD | Is there a way to add 1 or 2GB of disk space into this partition (using the free space of another partitioned disk) ? | 21:22 |

| jedc | Xerran, my bad, ctrl + o is save | 21:22 |

| boobsbr | howdy, I need a similar tool to Windows' HyperTerminal. any suggestions? I also need to know how to connect to a COM port, I'm not used to doing this in Linux. | 21:23 |
| Bob_Dole | sawyannaing, is it an ATI card? ATI dropped support for a lot of cards in the recent drivers, and ubuntu 9.04 and up can only use the new driver. The free and Opensource "Radeon" driver doesn't work for -all- of the cards that were dropped(it works on a great many of them, though) | 21:23 |
| Xerran | jedc: thx | 21:23 |
| goldins | MOUD: not particularly, if it doesn't work it usually fails before doing anything | 21:23 |
| lljpr | ...every time i restart the computer the system change the screeen resolution even thought i change it the ast time. (i do nos speak english, so excuse me) | 21:23 |
| goldins | might not work though | 21:23 |
| lljpr | ha. | 21:23 |
| guntbert | MOUD: that won't work - you are talking about different disks? | 21:23 |

| sawyannaing | Bob....i jus check my Graphic card which is Intel Integraded one | 21:26 |
| Bob_Dole | sawyannaing, some intel cards had horrible regressions too. | 21:27 |
| Xerran | sawyannaing: i hate to break it to you but intel integrated chips are pure suckage atm | 21:27 |
| Tartaros | kaddi: yeah but it's not. In there it only sets the size of virtual desktop, nothing else | 21:27 |
| Tartaros | I have 2 screens and there's no mention of them in the xorg.conf, yet they work :) | 21:27 |
| kaddi_ | Xerran which is due to ubuntu because they work fine with other OS | 21:27 |
| lljpr | ok!:.. i'll check out!: thanks | 21:27 |
| Bob_Dole | Intel Integrated chips suck to begin with. then Ubuntu added some regressions to their performance. Lovely combination. | 21:28 |
| Xerran | sawyannaing: whenever your in the market for upgrade checkout AMD or nvidia | 21:28 |
| sawyannaing | tnx ..Bob and Xerran....so i cant be able to enable it...is it? | 21:28 |
| lljpr | l | 21:28 |
| apoleo12 | Each time I boot I get into grub menu... and I had to select since it couldnt find the path.... | 21:28 |
| jedc | kaddi_, that usually means its due to intel | 21:28 |
| ctmjr | !intel | 21:28 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 9.04 has a known regression for some Intel graphics support. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/IntelPerformance and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582 for more information. | 21:28 |
| tpp | Hi I've been having the problem [on two ubuntu 9.04 boxes independently] that "hald" is using 100% CPU and as far as I can tell leaking memory as it's constantly growing! | 21:29 |
| Xerran | sawyannaing: Gigabyte make some terrific motherboards with onboard AMD and nvidia video chipsets | 21:29 |
| kaddi_ | ctmjr I know, but since the latest updates on the new kernel, it is just as bad as with the normal kernel | 21:29 |
| Wondercool | hi all, I havea problem with my HDTV, I need my NVIDIA ION chipset to underscan but the NVIDIA drivers don't let me | 21:29 |
| sawyannaing | I m using the ASUS laptop so ...i cant jus upgrade my graphic card...I need to change my Laptop | 21:29 |
| kaddi_ | just use another OS and you'll be fine | 21:29 |
| Wondercool | I tried Modelines | 21:29 |
| Xerran | sawyannaing: oh ok | 21:30 |
| mzz | sawyannaing: hmm, at least some intel integrated gpus run compiz just fine (I have an asus laptop here where it works) | 21:30 |
| sawyannaing | :(...I dunno why is it working on 8.10 | 21:30 |
| Wondercool | But the NVIDIA graphics applet does not seem to pick it up | 21:30 |
| Bob_Dole | sawyannaing, 8.04 and 8.10 are prior to these regressions | 21:30 |
| sawyannaing | I got compiz too...but it seem to be not working either | 21:31 |
| fccf | sawyannaing: you might have better luck with 8.04 ... I am using it and it works well on the Intel chip | 21:31 |
| Wondercool | Anyone out there that set mode lines on an NVIDIA card and got away with it? | 21:31 |
| mzz | sawyannaing: (the performance situation will improve in the future, probably already in karmic, but compiz should at least start in 9.04 unless your gpu is much different from mine) | 21:31 |

| ubottu | c_leez: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 21:41 |

| Pricey | c_leez: To find out the package versions, /msg ubottu info <package name> | 21:41 |

| scott_ino | Tartaros, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XORGHardy | 21:55 |
| jedc | hou5ton, your pcm volume may be up to high, in alsamixer make sure it isnt higher than around 85% | 21:55 |
| MOUD | mickster04: ok | 21:55 |
| mzz | jcmarini: I think you can just right-click the bot in the user list or something. Then just say something like "!ubottu" (without the quotes) in there. | 21:56 |
| guntbert | mzz, sawyannaing you can limit the kept kernel images via system/preferences/startup-manager: advanced | 21:56 |
| dalekleader | MattCanada: true, to enable or disable it. ultimately te OS controls the stepping | 21:56 |
| treize | I have the 0.8.2 version of rtorrent installed through apt-get. If I want to install the latest verson (0.8.4) through source, how can I integrate that into apt-get so that it will update the program in later versions? Is apt-get equivs the only way? | 21:56 |
| guntbert | !info startup-manager | 21:56 |
| ubottu | Package startup-manager does not exist in jaunty | 21:56 |
| guntbert | !info startupmanager | 21:56 |
| ubottu | startupmanager (source: startupmanager): Grub and Splash screen configuration. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.9.12-1 (jaunty), package size 95 kB, installed size 1072 kB | 21:56 |
| mzz | guntbert: ah, startup-manager. Thanks, I'll remember that (not in ubuntu right now) | 21:56 |
| hou5ton | Bernini: http://search.ubuntu.com/results2.html?cx=009650792990864903260%3A-lsdjshi1tu&cof=FORID%3A11&ie=UTF-8&q=web+cam&sa=Search#1400 | 21:56 |
| MattCanada | I believe that Speedstep is on in the BIOS, yes | 21:56 |
| MattCanada | Perhaps the OS is not interracting correctly? | 21:56 |
| MattCanada | with Speedstep? | 21:56 |
| guntbert | mzz: that is meant for grub, but the extraneous images get removed too | 21:57 |
| jedc | treize, if rtorrent has a repo you can add it to sources.list and then add the gpg key so it is trusted | 21:57 |
| dalekleader | MattCanada: you will have to check. try adding the "CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor" to the panel | 21:57 |
| MattCanada | Say, I am using IRCLE, how can I make the font larger? | 21:57 |
| scott_ino | Tartaros, that explains what's up with xorg.conf and why it's different | 21:57 |
| MOUD | mickster04: http://paste.ubuntu.com/252148/ | 21:57 |
| dalekleader | MattCanada: it will tell you the current cpu frequency | 21:57 |
| wikkid | hello everyone. A software raid 1 drive failed, (two md devices md0 and md1. md0 is /, md1 is swap), i replaced the drive, and was able to rebuild md0 just fine, i can't seem to rebuild md1 (swap) though, i'm getting "mdadm: cannot get array info for /dev/md1" when i try to run mdadm --manage /dev/md1 --add /dev/sda2. any ideas? | 21:57 |
| MattCanada | Yep, I have the CPU Freq Scaling applet on the toolbar | 21:57 |
| dalekleader | MattCanada: what freq is displayed | 21:58 |
| treize | jedc: rtorrent is just a concrete example, I was curious about the situations where it doesn't have a ppa and the only way to get the latest is through a source compile | 21:58 |

| MattCanada | I have them all; 800 Mhz and up to 1.83 | 21:58 |
| MattCanada | PowerSave, OnDemand, Conservative, Performance | 21:58 |
| MattCanada | My scaling is definitely working okay | 21:58 |
| MattCanada | And I do have my LMSensors installed and running okay | 21:59 |
| jcmarini | mzz i don't think xchat has message window extra but you may mean the whole shebang. what's the protocol for addressing queries to ubottu. there must be a sybol or something. | 21:59 |
| sawyannaing | tnx for everything...see ya all | 21:59 |
| dalekleader | MattCanada: if you can select the speed or watch it change then it is not the cpu that is hogging power. unless it is always maxed out | 21:59 |
| jcmarini | symbol sorry mzz | 21:59 |
| jedc | treize, apt-get only works for software packages and source packages, if they arent available as a package then you cant use apt-get | 21:59 |
| MattCanada | Nah, it's not the CPI | 21:59 |
| MattCanada | CPU | 21:59 |
| MattCanada | I suppose the best way to go about this, would be to run PowerTop, and to find a way to make the suggestions actually stick | 21:59 |
| prizren | Kdenlive is working! w00t | 21:59 |
| mickster04 | MOUD, you seem to have an old version of ff as well as shockwave installed | 21:59 |
| MattCanada | But how do you do this exactly? | 21:59 |
| MattCanada | This IRC chatting is fun :) | 22:00 |
| jedc | treize, you could make your own personal package archive and package the new versions periodically to stay up to date but that would take a lot of learning and time | 22:00 |
| mzz | jcmarini: there's nothing magical about it other than sending it a message starting with a "!". Try sending one of those to me if it's not working on ubottu. | 22:00 |
| dalekleader | MattCanada: ok, i am not sure, sorry. IRC is the retro and best way to chat | 22:00 |
| treize | jedc: what about apt-get equivs? So if I install a program through source compilation I am doomed to manually updating it from then on? | 22:00 |

| Bernini | can someone help me with a webcam setup | 22:00 |

| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about root kit hunter | 22:01 |
| MattCanada | One question, the Laptop_Mode package in Ubuntu, I have been told that it is somehow "crippled" by default? | 22:01 |
| kaddi_ | is someone familiar with folding@home? I installed it with sudo, so it set up it's own user and is always running in the background. But now I would like to stop it, because I'm compiling. How can I do that | 22:01 |
| eMaX | hi | 22:01 |
| jedc | treize, well, apt-get wont know about it, but you can remove the software and then install from apt-get again, say if it gets updated in the repos to the version you want | 22:01 |
| mzz | MattCanada: last time I checked the usefulness of the suggestions from powertop varied wildly (it's a pretty nice tool to see what apps aren't completely idle, but the rest of it isn't *that* great) | 22:01 |
| ctmjr | !webcams | Bernini | 22:01 |
| ubottu | Bernini: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras | 22:01 |
| eMaX | how can i recursively find files that have been changes in the last n days? | 22:01 |
| MattCanada | Would uninstalling it in the Synaptic, and reinstalling via the regular .deb file be better? | 22:01 |
| jcmarini | !root kit | 22:01 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about root kit | 22:01 |
| mickster04 | MOUD, you have to open shiretoko from the internet submenu | 22:01 |
| mzz | jcmarini: yeah, now do that in a message window | 22:01 |
| jedc | treize, but yes, in general if you compiling something from source it wont automatically get updated | 22:02 |
| dalekleader | MattCanada: no, unless the deb is a newer version | 22:02 |
| mickster04 | and u can uninstall the old one in the old ff | 22:02 |
| haf1ztang | mickster04: how am i going to set 9.04 as default | 22:02 |
| mickster04 | haf1ztang, it is....what does it show u is the default | 22:02 |
| MattCanada | Okay, fair enough. | 22:02 |
| MattCanada | I hear you on PowerTop | 22:02 |
| haf1ztang | ok | 22:02 |
| treize | jedc, ahh...seems like i'll just wait for it to be updated in the repos, thanks | 22:02 |
| MattCanada | I am going to head off, and to try my luck | 22:03 |
| haf1ztang | letme give u another 1 ok | 22:03 |
| MOUD | mickster04: how do I do that? | 22:03 |
| MattCanada | Any of you successfully dual boot by any chance, using Windows 7 as the primary, and first install? | 22:03 |
| jcmarini | mzz thanks buddy. don't ya love it when things work. gold srat to the Ubuntu comunity.* | 22:03 |
| mickster04 | ii think About:plugins | 22:03 |
| jedc | treize, there is a new ubuntu release coming out soon, it might be updated in karmic | 22:03 |
| dalekleader | MattCanada: good luck. also, it maybe that your hard drive is not spinning down even though the applications are idling. | 22:03 |
| mickster04 | MOUD, i think About:plugins | 22:04 |
| jcmarini | gols star. sorry. my typing is hunt n peck method? | 22:04 |

| hbekel | just don't feed | 23:03 |
| hafiz | mickster04: just u already seen my cmputer pix rite? | 23:03 |
| scott_ino | Bernini, have you looked into editing your device aliases in /etc/modprobe.conf?? I remember having to do this for conflicting network devices | 23:03 |
| hafiz | mickster04: in 10gb media and filesystem each have /boot/grub/menu.lst | 23:03 |
| mickster04 | hafiz, so which one does it read, eitherway ALL menu.lst shoudl be set to 4 | 23:03 |
| hafiz | ok | 23:04 |
| mickster04 | hafiz, how did u manage more than one! | 23:04 |
| mickster04 | nm hey | 23:04 |
| Bernini | scott_ino not sure how to do that ill look into it | 23:04 |
| scott_ino | Bernini, im not even really sure how newer kernels handle such things... but just something I remember from a while back | 23:05 |
| kosmic | How do You get truecrypt decrypted | 23:05 |
| scott_ino | Bernini, http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/how-can-i-assign-a-webcam-to-a-specific-devvideo-669507/ | 23:05 |
| kosmic | I have some volumes I need to transfer to another hard ndrive | 23:05 |
| mickster04 | hafiz, then u need to reboot | 23:06 |
| mickster04 | try again | 23:06 |
| hafiz | mickster04: i already set boot menu.lst to default 4 | 23:06 |
| kosmic | aptitude search truecrypt does not have the package | 23:06 |
| scott_ino | Bernini, looks promising | 23:06 |
| kosmic | and the truecrypt site does not have packages that WORK | 23:06 |
| stercor1 | How do I get postgresql's point and earthdistance packages? | 23:06 |
| th0r | kosmic: you can just copy the truecrypt files....you don't need to decrypt them to move them | 23:06 |
| === mac9416 is now known as macOut | ||
| kosmic | th0r: I need to have a program that reads the encrypted containers to do that | 23:07 |
| th0r | kosmic: no...you can copy the containers to the other computer...you don't need truecrypt to move them | 23:07 |
| kosmic | I don't have any use for encrypted stuff I can't read | 23:08 |
| kosmic | do any alternative programs read these containers? | 23:08 |
| th0r | kosmic: then moving the files to another computer has nothing to do with your problem | 23:08 |
| samneedshelp | hi, how do I apt-get update/upgrade an installed ubuntu on HD from a livecd? | 23:08 |
| zvacet | samneedshelp: you need alternate CD for that | 23:09 |
| Henrik__ | Yåflfhsgodiådtosyødmbo hsfu kj | 23:09 |
| samneedshelp | what i need is to use the livecd internet connection to update/upgrade from HD | 23:09 |
| jondavis | r there any hackers in here | 23:09 |

| mickster04 | haf1z, anyluck? | 23:10 |
| haf1z | mickster04: stil the same | 23:10 |
| Henrik__ | !hacking | jondavis | 23:10 |
| ubottu | jondavis: A hacker is a person who delights in having an intimate understanding of the internal workings of a system, computers and computer networks in particular, as defined by Request for Comments (RFC) 1392 - i.e. a good programmer -- crackers on the other hand break systems, see also !piracy | 23:10 |
| samneedshelp | DasEi i did chroot /media/disk disk=ubuntu and doesnt work | 23:10 |
| mickster04 | haf1z, an u no longer have a menu.lst unchanged? | 23:10 |
| jondavis | any hackers in here | 23:11 |
| mickster04 | are they the same ? | 23:11 |
| mickster04 | haf1z, are they the same ? | 23:11 |
| Henrik__ | !cracker | jondavis | 23:11 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about cracker | 23:11 |
| DasEi | samneedshelp: you will sudo chroot /dev/sd>>your hd-root-device<< | 23:11 |
| DasEi | !chroot | 23:11 |
| ubottu | chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot) | 23:11 |
| ascheel | RAWR! Small victories... finally got my wireless USB adapter working. The kernel came with a crappy version of it. Well, not crappy but it didn't identify my network adapter with it. | 23:11 |
| haf1z | mickster04: jus open the menu.lst still default set to 4 | 23:11 |
| ian__ | Hello everyone, I am running 9.04 off of an eeepc with ext4. I now have a new faster and bigger hard drive, does anyone know of a ext4 capable way of doing byte for byte transfers from one drive to another? | 23:11 |
| mneptok | jondavis: what do you actually want? | 23:11 |
| Henrik__ | !crackers | jondavis | 23:11 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about crackers | 23:11 |
| samneedshelp | i really hate auto triggers... | 23:11 |
| Henrik__ | Fann | 23:11 |
| mickster04 | haf1z, what about the other one | 23:12 |
| ascheel | ian__: gparted live cd | 23:12 |
| samneedshelp | i prefer real people help | 23:12 |
| mneptok | !dd > ian__ | 23:12 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about dd | 23:12 |
| haf1z | its the same | 23:12 |
| jondavis | i want some on e to help me learn to hack | 23:12 |
| haf1z | both set to default 4 | 23:12 |
| ian__ | ascheel, I have an eeepc | 23:12 |
| ian__ | mneptok, I have an eeepc | 23:12 |
| DasEi | samneedshelp: also, did you try safemode >> dpkg at init 1 ? | 23:12 |
| samneedshelp | jondavis, go to school | 23:12 |
| mickster04 | haf1z, hmmm then i dont understand whats goin on.... | 23:12 |
| ascheel | ian__: then use a CD drive on a USB adapter. It's what i did. | 23:12 |
| samneedshelp | DasEi i dont know dpkg init 1 | 23:12 |
| samneedshelp | ill google it | 23:12 |
| mneptok | jondavis: do you mean "write code?" or do you mean "exploit software vulnerabilities?" | 23:12 |
| zvacet | samneedshelp: what kind of problem do you have with connection from HD | 23:12 |
| ascheel | ian__: I'm on a eee 1000HA and hooked a CD drive up to an IDE -> USB adapter and it worked very very well | 23:12 |
| haf1z | ok ok | 23:13 |
| samneedshelp | zvacet i am using a USB 3G stick | 23:13 |
| mickster04 | haf1z, cos u can load up both 8.04 and 9.04 manually? | 23:13 |
| DasEi | samneedshelp: as I get you, your network is broken, but netroot in safemode is another mec, so this often works, safemode from hd-boot | 23:13 |
| haf1z | mickster04: i can load both them manually | 23:13 |
| samneedshelp | my liveUSB can use the 3g stick i need to update my ubuntu on HD to use 3g stick | 23:13 |
| mickster04 | haf1z, then sumat is wrong elsewhere.... | 23:13 |
| haf1z | mickster04: but i want 9.04 to be default boot so i wont have to select anymore | 23:13 |
| ian__ | ascheel, how do I go from one drive to the other? I start gparted, and then what? I can image my drive to an external drive? Pop the new drive back in the eee, then load gparted again and restore off the external drive? | 23:13 |
| mickster04 | haf1z, remove the 8.04 | 23:13 |
| mickster04 | haf1z, or swap them in the file? | 23:14 |
| nerdy_kid | hey please help: am running 9.04 with ATI radeon xpress 200 and having big issues with compiz | 23:14 |
| DasEi | samneedshelp:?? you update from internet, nor ? | 23:14 |
| mickster04 | haf1z, try commenting them out with # | 23:14 |
| samneedshelp | the thing is the ubuntuHD is karmic, liveusb is jaunty, so want to use my livecd to update karmic basically | 23:14 |
| mickster04 | make sure u put default back to 0 | 23:14 |
| Frank83 | Back in DOS you could use "dir *.ace" to show only "ace" files. How you do that on Linux? | 23:14 |
| mickster04 | afief, make sure u put default back to 0 | 23:14 |
| linxeh | is there a utility for configuring wifi from the command line (so it remembers it next boot) or should I just edit the configuration by hand ? | 23:14 |
| mickster04 | haf1z, , make sure u put default back to 0 | 23:14 |
| linxeh | Frank83: ls *.ace | 23:14 |
| mickster04 | sorry afief | 23:14 |
| haf1z | o ok | 23:14 |
| haf1z | how am i going to remove o4 | 23:15 |
| haf1z | 8.04 | 23:15 |
| DasEi | samneedshelp:but want to use karmics internet repos ? | 23:15 |
| samneedshelp | thats why | 23:15 |
| ian__ | ascheel, how do I go from one drive to the other? I start gparted, and then what? I can image my drive to an external drive? Pop the new drive back in the eee, then load gparted again and restore off the external drive? | 23:15 |
| nerdy_kid | please help: am running 9.04 with ATI radeon xpress 200 and having big issues with compiz | 23:15 |
| Xunie | Is this a question? | 23:15 |
| Xunie | lol | 23:15 |
| ascheel | ian__: when I did that I did a 2-step process. First I used G4L to back up the drive (it uses dd to back it up bit for bit) then I used G4L to restore it to the new drive. THEN I used GPartEd to expand the partitions to encompass the entire drive. | 23:15 |
| Frank83 | linxeh, just like normal lspci, or lsusb?. ls alone will work as a dir? | 23:15 |
| DasEi | samneedshelp:so did you try booting karmic in recovery/safemode ? | 23:15 |
| samneedshelp | DasEI ubuntu installation is karmic, my liveusb is jaunty i just want to update my karmic installation via liveusb using my 3g stick that works | 23:15 |
| mneptok | ian__: as the bot told you, dd is the app you want. | 23:15 |
| samneedshelp | DasEi no i didnt | 23:15 |
| ascheel | ian__: I went from the 160 GB that mine came with to a 500 GB and it worked flawlessly | 23:16 |
| mickster04 | haf1z, put # infront of all other luines | 23:16 |
| DasEi | samneedshelp:know how ? | 23:16 |
| ascheel | mneptok: he can't load 2 drives at once in his laptop. | 23:16 |
| nerdy_kid | please help: am running 9.04 with ATI radeon xpress 200 and having big issues with compiz | 23:16 |
| linxeh | Frank83: no, lspci is a program to list pci devices. ls is a program to list directory contents / files (hence ls - short for list) | 23:16 |
| Frank83 | linxeh, Wow, With colors and all! Thansk for the help dude! Take care | 23:16 |
| haf1z | mickster04: i dont get u | 23:16 |
| linxeh | Frank83: also look at ls -al | 23:16 |
| samneedshelp | DasEi booting into it yes | 23:16 |
| mneptok | ascheel: so use dd to an image file, and then dd back from it. | 23:16 |
| ian__ | ascheel, I dont fully understand the need for gparted... Can you expand please? Isnt a bit for bit backup the exact same thing as the original? | 23:16 |
| Frank83 | linxeh, Will do the ls -help and check them all out | 23:16 |
| nerdy_kid | please help: am running 9.04 with ATI radeon xpress 200 and having big issues with compiz | 23:16 |
| samneedshelp | DasEi when I boot into it what do I need to do? | 23:17 |
| linxeh | Frank83: also man ls | 23:17 |
| ascheel | ian__: I apologize. I thought you were moving to a larger hard drive | 23:17 |
| linxeh | :) | 23:17 |
| mickster04 | haf1z, a # makes grub ignore the lines | 23:17 |
| ian__ | ascheel, I am | 23:17 |
| DasEi | samneedshelp:so first choose netroot, check connectiopn like ping google.com, then exit, then check broken packages | 23:17 |
| mickster04 | haf1z, so put them onfront of the paragraph | 23:17 |
| ian__ | ascheel, from a 160 to a 320 | 23:17 |
| samneedshelp | k | 23:17 |
| haf1z | all of them? | 23:17 |
| mickster04 | so only the few lines underneath 9.04 are left | 23:17 |
| ascheel | ian__: use dd to move the image (I used g4l which also uses dd) then gparted will change the partition to encompass the entire drive. | 23:17 |
| nerdy_kid | can give lots of specs please pm me | 23:17 |
| haf1z | only infront of 8.04? | 23:17 |
| ian__ | ascheel, thanks for your hekp | 23:17 |
| Frank83 | linxeh, That "man" thing is more awesome than --help! It works with everything? | 23:17 |

| haf1z | ok | 23:18 |
| nerdy_kid | please help: am running 9.04 with ATI radeon xpress 200 and having big issues with compiz | 23:18 |

| MarkG | Hi, got a question about swapspace on my plug. I have a couple of dmesg errors: "page allocation failure" I quick google tells me it's when applications request memory, and none is left | 23:19 |
| linxeh | Frank83: many things yea - and some things it doesnt work with you can use "info" instead | 23:19 |
| mickster04 | !tab | haf1z | 23:19 |
| ubottu | haf1z: You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 23:19 |
| Frank83 | linxeh, How I quit from the "man"? | 23:19 |
| ascheel | MarkG: how big is your swap partition? | 23:19 |
| DasEi | samneedshelp:from there you need to find your hd, like /dev/sda3 (sudo fdsik -l) | 23:19 |
| MarkG | the embedded hardware I use (Sheevaplug) only has what it has, I created a swap file on my USB disk. Will this mean the USB disk will never spin down? Is there any other tricks to increasing memory? | 23:19 |
| nerdy_kid | please help: am running 9.04 with ATI radeon xpress 200 and having big issues with compiz | 23:19 |
| DasEi | !repeat | nerdy_kid | 23:20 |

| ascheel | MarkG: gotcha. sheevaplugs are unexplored territory for me, but /jealous at you | 23:20 |
| samneedshelp | Dasei im with you so far | 23:20 |
| MarkG | is there a way to control how the swap is used? like last ditch memory allocation, and give it back as soon as you can... | 23:20 |
| Frank83 | linxeh, Wow. Many thanks for your help dude. These commands will help me a lot. (Still a learner) Have a good one! | 23:20 |
| MarkG | ascheel: It's a very cool bit of hardware for $99, a NAS without the limitations of NAS | 23:21 |

| elec | i want to use fakeraid (dmraid + raid 1) as a secondary media drive on my system is that a practical and stable thing to do on ubuntu? (im also using the drive in windows which i plan to jump back and forth in between) | 23:32 |
| nburns | Hi all - long time linux user here but just moved to ubuntu from gentoo. I was wondering if anyone has had success getting their Windows Mobile based cell phone successfully working with gnome-phone-manager. I did search on the forums but to no avail - can anyone point me in the right direction? | 23:32 |
| sheit | DasEi, I have it installed on firefox but never works .. where should i go to upgrade it | 23:32 |
| ascheel | elec: however you set it up, just use samba so Windows can access it over the network. Don't need to get too fancy, it will work just fine | 23:32 |
| ascheel | elec: unless of course windows *IS* that PC (alternate boot) | 23:33 |
| elec | ascheel, nail on the head.. dual booting | 23:33 |
| raz | does anyone here have adobe air installed and could send me a copy of their /etc/opt/Adobe directory? i'm on gentoo where the installer doesnt work and im lacking that directory :\ | 23:33 |
| DasEi | sheit : mine worked fine with the flashplugin-nonfree as with the deb from adobe, but then do a full update/grade | 23:33 |
| ascheel | elec: gotcha. | 23:33 |

| Adremelech|Lapto | Andreas_, dns? | 23:34 |
| jeeves | is there a way to remove a package group by a wild card? (ie. apt-get --purge remove mythtv-*) | 23:35 |
| mzz | Andreas_: dns failure or route (default gateway) failure likely | 23:35 |
| DasEi | sheit : you can either just get a deb from their hp or add the opera-repo | 23:35 |
| thiebaude | !opera | 23:35 |
| ubottu | opera is an advanced and free (only as in price) web browser. Install it via Applications->Add/Remove..., making sure that "Show commercial applications" (dapper only) is checked. For more info on opera please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OperaBrowser | 23:35 |
| DasEi | sheit : or did that concern flash ? | 23:35 |
| Andreas_ | mzz: So how do I fix it, to be frank... | 23:35 |
| sheit | DasEi, was asking about flash for opera 64bit | 23:35 |
| jeeves | DasEi, any ideas on a mass removal using APT with a wildcard? | 23:36 |
| DasEi | sheit : same , once installed, re-open browser, will also do | 23:36 |
| Andreas_ | reinstalling ubuntu is the last option I am looking for. I have a LAMP server setup and a lot of SAMBA harddrives, and reconfiguring it would be a pain in the arse. | 23:36 |

| Tartaros | heya room :) I have found out that a thingy called xinerama enables 2 monitors by creating one big virtual desktop for them. But what if I want 2 separate desktops (on each screen one) instead? | 23:36 |
| mzz | Andreas_: it's a bit odd, since if you're using networkmanager it tends to get this right automatically. Does "ip route" list a sane default gateway (your router)? | 23:36 |

| sheit | DasEi, and opera, awesome man thanks | 23:37 |
| DasEi | sheit : good looks | 23:37 |
| mzz | Andreas_: then how *does* accessing things outside fail? Can you ping something external by ip, for example? | 23:37 |
| sheit | DasEi, you know anything about boxee 64bit or? | 23:37 |
| jeeves | DasEi, what will that do? I installed MythTV and it's dragged this little laptop down to the ground | 23:37 |

| DasEi | jeeves : I see, if you sudo apt-get remove --purge mythbuntu* --dry-run , it won't delete anything, but show you what would | 23:39 |

| jeeves | DasEi, GREAT!!! I need to purge this mess | 23:39 |

| Tartaros | legend2440: ok and do they contain a way to disable xinerama? :) | 23:44 |

| Andreas_ | mzz: By the way, everytime I log in with GNOME, I get an error saying that it failed to launch the GNOME Settings Daemon. How do I restart that. | 23:44 |
| lilrayray | hey all, Id like an opinion: I have a fair amount of experience with linux and have been using archlinux after switching from ubunutu. Lately, however, I have felt a desire for a distribution that is more refined and "detailed," and thus I have been looking back at ubunutu. My question is: once I customize/tweak/etc ubunutu to my liking, will it really have been worth the switch away from... | 23:44 |
| lilrayray | ...something like arch? | 23:44 |
| zigi | jeeves: k, i just dont want to post my question twice, also can you help me? | 23:44 |
| jeeves | zigi, what was the question? it got lost in the chatter | 23:44 |
| mzz | Andreas_: it's /usr/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon, but you should really check why that won't start (look in ~/.xsession-errors, or try restarting it from a terminal if that doesn't help) | 23:45 |
| mickster04 | zigi, what have u tried so far | 23:45 |

| DasEi | lilrayray: question for #ubuntu-offtopic, also : | 23:46 |
| kub1 | mickster04: [saw your !ask - do you have an answer for this? thx :)] The "Canonical Supported Open Source SW (main)" repository is 'unchecked' - ie, not enabled - in the KPackageKit > Setings > Software Sources > KUbuntu sw, in my recently installed KU 904 system. That must be improper, true?? Perhaps I accidentally & unknowingly unchecked it. It is proper that that should be "checked"/(ie set to install), right? Absolutely no do | 23:46 |
| DasEi | !best | 23:46 |
| ubottu | Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 23:46 |

| jeeves | zigi, the account you're trying to remote in with, is it part of the remote access group as well? | 23:47 |
| lilrayray | jedc: yeah I suppose... Im just hesitant since, up until this point my linux machines have been more for hobby than for serious use... this has now changed | 23:47 |

| jeeves | zigi, try system > pref > remote desktop. I think it's the fourth one down to set the password | 23:48 |

| fuzzybunny | mickster04, what do you mean? | 23:49 |

| mzz | fuzzybunny: there's a utility (I forgot what package it is in) that you run from the commandline and reports touchpad events. If that doesn't see the number of fingers you have on the touchpad two-finger scrolling can't work. | 23:52 |
| savanny1976u | Hi, does anyone know a software that clone a Linux partition?? Thank you. | 23:52 |
| ascheel | romeus1: just curious, but why view them in a nautilus window? (I don't think you can list a bunch of files in DIFFERENT paths in a single window) | 23:52 |
| OmegaWarrior | ascheel, where should I go for support, then? | 23:52 |
| mzz | savanny1976u: cp? :) | 23:52 |
| jeeves | zigi, last time I did those, I set up a VMware cluster of 30 towers in my livingroom and ran a CS-Source server on it | 23:53 |
| mzz | savanny1976u: or dd for that matter | 23:53 |
| jedc | fuzzybunny, i have a mac and to get two finger scroll working i had to make a configuration file in /etc/hal/fdi/policy/ | 23:53 |

| romeus1 | romeus1: they all have different paths | 23:53 |
| jedc | the edge scroll option in mouse conflicted a little bit | 23:53 |

| mickster04 | hafiz, ok gd luck:D | 23:53 |
| romeus1 | <ascheel> they all have different paths | 23:53 |
| OmegaWarrior | ascheel, correct | 23:53 |
| ascheel | brian_: either option will work just fine | 23:53 |
| hafiz | mickster04: thx anyway. how am i going to remove the 8.04 | 23:53 |
| ascheel | OmegaWarrior: Then you can try #ubuntu-offtopic or see if there's a chatroom for camorama | 23:54 |
| mickster04 | hafiz, ermmm i dont really no | 23:54 |

| hafiz | but it wil consume to my disk space izit | 23:54 |
| mickster04 | hafiz, yeah | 23:55 |
| mzz | brian_: yes, but I don't know if it works in xrandr or xinerama mode (gives you a desktop that properly expands across both heads) | 23:55 |

| jedc | fuzzybunny it worked for me too, but with two finger scrolling if you are scrolling with 2 fingers near the edge it scrolls more, so fore switching workspaces for example it would switch and switch back | 23:55 |
