| AssociateX | Hello people | 00:11 |
| x3cion | Is there at least a useful channel when I have a problem with this damn, stupid start-stop-daemon crap? | 00:11 |
| _Maximus | DasEi, the mouse needs 5V ? | 00:12 |
| AssociateX | is it a big chore to hook up a digital ldc TV to my computer? Do I have to reconfig Xorg or anything? | 00:12 |
| DasEi | GuidMorrow: you can put it anywhere, but not the mbr, /boot for example | 00:12 |
| DasEi | _Maximus : a laser does, or a keyboard or .. | 00:12 |
| arbir1 | hi | 00:12 |
| arbir1 | i have a live cd running | 00:13 |
| arbir1 | how can i get the xorg file ? i dont see much info in /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 00:13 |
| DasEi | arbir1: it's empty by deafult | 00:13 |
| _Maximus | DasEi, I only have an optical usb mouse which runs ok | 00:13 |
| arbir1 | damn, close the window accidently :-( | 00:14 |
| _Maximus | DasEi, thanks for support | 00:14 |
| _Maximus | DasEi, I'll go and check the bios now | 00:14 |
| DasEi | _Maximus : which fs is on the small hd ? | 00:14 |
| arbir1 | :( | 00:15 |
| arbir1 | is back | 00:15 |
| _Maximus | I have not checked that out yet, but I think it's fat32 (to be accessible on most of the systems) | 00:15 |
| arbir1 | so, how can i get my xorg file from a live system ? | 00:15 |
| arbir1 | test | 00:16 |
| DasEi | arbir1: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg , check again after | 00:16 |
| _Maximus | DasEi, thanks for support again | 00:16 |
| arbir1 | DasEi: alright | 00:16 |
| GuidMorrow | when I "send shutdown signal" what does that do to my virtual machine | 00:16 |
| evilGUI | Are the overheating issues with the 4850 still there? | 00:17 |
| DasEi | _Maximus : another idea is to install ntfsprogs, but by default, both fat and ntfs are handled by jaunty | 00:17 |
| evilGUI | also how well does a GTS 250 run in Ubuntu. | 00:17 |
| arbir1 | DasEi: should i say yes to the kernel frame buffer dialog ? | 00:17 |
| === McPeter_ is now known as McPeter | ||
| DasEi | GuidMorrow: it powers it down like shutdown | 00:17 |
| DasEi | arbir1: say no | 00:17 |
| megra | GuidMorrow, it depends on the VM you use, but normally, it should terminate the program. | 00:17 |
| GuidMorrow | holy crap look at the memory usage | 00:18 |
| DasEi | GuidMorrow: how much ram total ? | 00:18 |
| arbir1 | DasEi: i only see this -- http://pastie.org/585336 | 00:18 |
| megra | hey guys, any news about an update of the kernel about the 0day found yesterday ? | 00:19 |
| GuidMorrow | I had to set the VM to use 640M RAM | 00:19 |
| GuidMorrow | gotta figure if this motherboard can hold 4GB of RAM | 00:19 |
| GuidMorrow | It used to run with PAE in Windows | 00:20 |
| Sneaky-Jesus | megra: I think they're testing the patch for bugs, it'll be rolled out via Synaptic soon enough :) | 00:20 |
| DasEi | GuidMorrow: so 4 g installed ? | 00:20 |
| === f4t is now known as f4t8oy | ||
| arbir1 | DasEi: i wonder how it runs a complete desktop with such less config in the xorg. am i looking at the wrong file ? /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 00:20 |
| aprilhare | hello. i have an issue with graphics in gstreamer and vlc. i get strange colours. i looked on the internets and there was the suggestion that XV_HUE variable gets somehow mucked up and the temporary fix for this is "xvattr -a XV_HUE -v 1" however it's claimed its fixed... somewhere. does anyone know where that fix is? :) | 00:21 |
| GuidMorrow | I only have one 2GB stick, 256 MB share memory ... maybe I should go into BIOS and reset things | 00:21 |
| GuidMorrow | the share memory size was originally set at 64 MB | 00:21 |
| megra | Sneaky-Jesus, I must admin that's quite critical, I tried the exploit released by the grsecurity maintener, I was like frozen on chair when I saw '#' on my prompt :-) | 00:23 |
| DasEi | arbir1: no, all right, in farmer times there had been more modules, nowadays it's kernel implemented | 00:24 |
| GuidMorrow | I was experimenting with a large share memory buffer and I didn't find any difference whenever I played The Sims 2 with it -- I figured my integrated nVIDIA graphics controller would use it as TurboCache memory | 00:24 |
| arbir1 | DasEi: well it seems, if i configure my xorg from hand, it never starts up :-( | 00:24 |
| DasEi | GuidMorrow: no wonder, 2 g total, 256 graphic, give vm 256 then | 00:24 |
| arbir1 | DasEi: alright.. thanks for the help. | 00:24 |
| DasEi | arbir: not really, you can specialize it | 00:25 |
| DasEi | GuidMorrow: unless it's a super onbaord, 128 M for graphics should do | 00:26 |
| GuidMorrow | The Sims 2 will require up to 512M RAM with Vista ,but the OS itself will suffer without any extra memory | 00:26 |
| DasEi | arbir: for instance, if you install a propitary driver or want to customize your screen, xorg gets altered | 00:26 |
| cjae | HI I installed the proprietary ati drivers in jaunty abd apparently the card is not supported anymore, I need to revert to the open source drivers (is that what was installed with the distro) and can I use them with tv out? | 00:27 |
| cjae | was going to follow this http://www.leong.nl/2009/04/ubuntu-jaunty-upgrade-with-atiamd-graphics/ | 00:27 |
| ScottG | How can I get ls to print out full path names of files and directories? | 00:27 |
| geirha | ScottG: Don't think it can. You can use find for that though | 00:28 |
| ScottG | oh ok, thanks | 00:29 |
| cjae | Do I still edit xorg to setup dual screens when not using the proprietary drivers? | 00:29 |
| DasEi | ScottG: ls -R , see man ls | 00:29 |
| elitrix_ | hi guys, this is a very strange question for the ubuntu chan i know but you guys have always been helpful... im in the process of installing xp pro sp3 on my parents computer and my cd must be bad i had to skip 2 files, does anyone here have a xp pro sp3 install that i can get two files off of? | 00:29 |
| GuidMorrow | Windows XP sometimes takes up to 256 RAM and the game does take 256 RAM or more | 00:29 |
| ScottG | DasEi: That is recursive | 00:29 |
| geirha | cjae: The open source drivers should be xrandr-friendly, so you can use xrandr or the System -> Preferences -> Display gui | 00:29 |
| DasEi | cjae : whih card ? ati is off the place with xorg 7.4 mostly | 00:30 |
| DasEi | ScottG: so I diidn't get you right ; full paths ? | 00:30 |
| cjae | DasEi, ati 9600 | 00:30 |
| geirha | cjae: However, you may need to edit xorg.conf to tell the driver to use enough memory for a desktop spread on two monitors | 00:31 |
| DasEi | cjae : hard case, I'm not sure for ope sorce n dual, what works is you can downgrade xorg or even use hardy | 00:31 |
| pixlbox | having trouble with my wireless connection on my mac mini, tried the apple chat room but no ones replying | 00:32 |
| GuidMorrow | !hardy | 00:32 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 8.04-LTS (Hardy Heron) was the eighth release of Ubuntu. Downloading: http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04 - See !lts for more details. | 00:32 |

| pixlbox | intel | 00:32 |
| inx-mdg | pixlbox: what card of wifi card? | 00:33 |
| inx-mdg | hi brian_ | 00:33 |
| maco | pixlbox: its running ubuntu....right? | 00:33 |
| cjae | geirha, I am so mixed up with the new way of installing drivers (hardware drivers) and randr, I have a hand edited xorg.conf from a long time ago that should work to setup separate x screens I'll just have to switch it to whatever the open source driver is called under that section | 00:33 |
| puff | pixlbox: You tried #macosx? | 00:34 |
| puff | pixlbox: I'm afraid folks here won't be able to give you much help with mac issues. | 00:34 |
| geirha | cjae: I'm currently using the open source ati drivers and occationally extend the desktop to my TV. This is my xorg.conf http://pastebin.com/f79877210 | 00:34 |
| inx-mdg | pixlbox: what kind of wifi card is it? | 00:34 |
| pixlbox | puff: cool ill try that thanks | 00:34 |
| GuidMorrow | For some reason the vm isn't running right at "full speed" -- the sound clips in some spots | 00:34 |
| puff | pixlbox: Even if it were a really slow day and people didn't mind discussing off-topic stuff, most folks here prolly don't knw much macosx. | 00:34 |
| cjae | geirha, what card? and how do you get it back to open source driver? | 00:35 |
| GuidMorrow | and the CPU maxes out at random times | 00:35 |
| pixlbox | yeah, was a wild shot, thanks anyway | 00:35 |
| DasEi | cjae : the open source driver least supports dualhed, also : | 00:35 |
| DasEi | !dualhead | 00:35 |
| ubottu | Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama | 00:35 |
| cjae | DasEi, opensource support separate x screens? | 00:35 |
| cjae | I do not want to extend | 00:36 |
| geirha | cjae: The important part is SubSection "Display" and the two following lines, which tell it to allocate enough memory to extend the 1280x1024 monitor to the left of the 1360x768 TV | 00:36 |
| geirha | cjae: 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc 760G [Radeon 3000] | 00:36 |

| cjae | geirha, it would be more like 1024x768 screen 0 and 800x600 screen 1 | 00:37 |
| DasEi | cjae : sorry, seperate screens, generally yes, but the 9600 is the " biggest of the older ones", so not sure for that model | 00:37 |
| cjae | lol | 00:37 |
| geirha | cjae: Oh, you want two separate desktops? Never bothered with that myself ... | 00:38 |
| haf1z | some1 can tell me what is virtual box? virtual machine? | 00:39 |
| kroson | hi everyone | 00:39 |
| lstarnes | haf1z: it's a virtual machine | 00:39 |
| kroson | what are the necessary files to download from the ubuntu nvidia ppa? | 00:39 |
| kroson | i want to install the latest 190 drivers | 00:39 |
| haf1z | lstarnes: how it works? | 00:39 |
| haf1z | lstarnes: is it the same with wine? | 00:39 |
| lstarnes | haf1z: wine isn't a virtual machine. It's an emulation of the windows API/ABI | 00:40 |
| geirha | haf1z: Instead of a harddrive, it uses a file, which the operating system inside the virtual machine will think is a genuine hard drive. Same with audio card, video card etc. | 00:40 |
| cjae | DasEi, basically I would I have a xorg that would resemble this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=98456 and substitute whatever the opensource driver is for nvidia geirha | 00:40 |
| cjae | should work... no? | 00:40 |
| haf1z | lstarnes: what is the function vbox? | 00:41 |
| lstarnes | haf1z: virtualbox is a virtual machine | 00:41 |
| lstarnes | haf1z: vbox is another name for virtualbox | 00:42 |
| GuidMorrow | ok this is stupid, why can't I access my usb flash drive from my vm? | 00:42 |
| haf1z | lstarnes: can it be same with dualboot? | 00:42 |
| lstarnes | haf1z: it's different from a dualboot | 00:42 |
| Scunizi | GuidMorrow: because you're using vbox-ose instead of the vbox version off their site? | 00:42 |
| GuidMorrow | WHAT | 00:43 |
| geirha | haf1z: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtualization | 00:43 |
| lstarnes | haf1z: a true dualboot doesn't use any emulation and runs directly on the actual hardware | 00:43 |
| Scunizi | GuidMorrow: are you using virtualbox? | 00:43 |
| ericab | can someone tell me why "sudo shutdown -h now" has completley stopped working, BUT "sudi init 0" works properly in shuttung the computer down ?? | 00:43 |
| DasEi | cjae:this is a pointer in the direction ;; I'd try to get a working xorg in your desired setup from 8.04 and then alter it for jaunty | 00:44 |
| haf1z | do you have any advice, since i am new.. is that vm is for advanced user or what? | 00:44 |
| Flare183 | ericab: You turn your computer off like this: sudo shutdown -P now | 00:44 |
| lstarnes | haf1z: maybe more intermediate | 00:44 |
| cjae | Section "Device" | 00:44 |
| cjae | Identifier"NVIDIA Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5500]"Driver"nvidia" in this section what do I call the opensource ati driver geirha | 00:44 |
| lstarnes | haf1z: virtualbox is fairly easy to use | 00:44 |

| evilGUI | Anyone in here use a ATI radeon 4850 or 4870? | 00:46 |
| haf1z | lstarnes: 1 more thing, whats is the benefit of using vm? | 00:46 |
| azzkaradag | #ubuntu-tr | 00:46 |
| cjae | DasEi, I can make the separate screens work if the driver (open) supports it, or would I just be better off to use a older proprietary driver and how would I do that? | 00:46 |
| docgnome | gnome is really slow for me. rather some things are. like typing takes a long time | 00:47 |
| lstarnes | haf1z: things that run in a vm don't have full hardware access and don't need to be installed on a hard disk partition | 00:47 |
| docgnome | as does scrolling | 00:47 |
| Flare183 | docgnome: Try using Xubuntu then. | 00:47 |
| cjae | DasEi, not switching to 8.04 have lvm setup already can I use a older ati driver in jaunty at all? | 00:47 |
| IdleOne | what is the command to get the path of a package? | 00:47 |
| docgnome | i have compiz running. when i turn it off everything is ok, but the windows repaint very slowly | 00:47 |
| lstarnes | haf1z: plus some virtual machines, like qemu, support other architectures, like mips or sparc | 00:47 |
| chalcedny | what's the bottom bar with icons on it called? | 00:47 |
| docgnome | Flare183: yeah, didn't help | 00:47 |
| docgnome | Flare183: same behavior | 00:47 |
| haf1z | lstarnes: so, i think its better to use dualboot right? | 00:47 |
| geirha | haf1z: Install Ubuntu in a VM, and you can experiment with everything you want, without affecting your main system | 00:47 |
| lstarnes | haf1z: it depends on what you need to do | 00:47 |
| ameed | Hello , I have an Ubuntu 9.04 on my Dell Latitude D830 - the wifi only works when i disable the driver and enable it again but when i reboot the machine same issue appears and i must disable and enable to get it working again - any ideas? | 00:47 |
| frunns | haf1z: like e-ID, doesn't work too well in linux, but you can just use a vm instead of dual booting. :P | 00:48 |
| Flare183 | docgnome: Turn off the remote desktop, and the tracker/file indexer | 00:48 |
| GuidMorrow | why didn't you tell me "VirtualBox OSE" was the wrong version | 00:48 |
| DasEi | cjae: either you get the propi thing from 8.04 to get the config or must now, as I become tired ask again or google your 9600 jaunty dualhead; you can for sure downgrade xorg and have aticontrolcenter with propitary driver | 00:48 |

| DugenNash | jdu I tried what you suggested, it looks like the format is still messed up, you can see in this screen of google: http://imagebin.org/59781 | 01:12 |
| DasEi | gipsy_: openssh is there for windows, too, you have to install it on the machine and then also find a way to cooperate the firewall / router, host-based authentification comes to mind | 01:12 |

| th0r | arquebus: in /usr/share/icons or /usr/share/pixmaps you should find an icon named orca.png or orca.xpm | 01:28 |
| arquebus | th0r: ah, ok | 01:29 |
| orochi | hello...for anyone using tovid, any options in particular that you use to clean up the video quality when it's re-encoded? ffmpeg is the only encoding method that doesn't occasionally result in problem disks but it looks blocky | 01:29 |
| nibsa1242 | I need a guide about installing ubuntu to and booting from a USB stick. My harddisk is dead and all I have is a 4GB pen drive. | 01:29 |
| th0r | arquebus: if you are using an english language desktop there are only about five lines in that file that are important | 01:29 |
| inx-live | arquebus: any luck finding gnome-orca? | 01:30 |
| Lord_Pall | it cant find that package. It's definitely looking at the http://ppa.launchpad.net jaunty release.gpg repos | 01:30 |
| GuidMorrow | !usb-creator | 01:30 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about usb-creator | 01:30 |
| zilla1 | well, i got the answer -- just place it in the $HOME/.mozilla-thunderbird | 01:31 |
| arquebus | inx-live: I found orka-desktop, but not gnome-orka, but orka-desktop seems to have all the information I need | 01:31 |
| Berzerker | zilla1, answer to what? | 01:31 |
| laymansterms | Lord_Pall, if you open Synaptic Package Manager, you should be able to select the PPA to see what packages are available from it. | 01:31 |
| GuidMorrow | nibsa1242: Is your hard disk "dead", as in mechanical failure? | 01:31 |
| Berzerker | GuidMorrow, he left lol. | 01:32 |
| GuidMorrow | wth he logged | 01:32 |
| zilla1 | Berzerker my question, hot to put an old .mozilla-thunderbird directory on anew install and get it working. not a big surprise granted, but i figured it out | 01:32 |
| Berzerker | zilla1, good to know. | 01:32 |
| Lord_Pall | layman - where does that show up? Like what would I look for to search that ppa? | 01:32 |
| laymansterms | Lord_Pall, for example, with the "Origin" button selected, I can click ppa.launchpad.net/main to see all the PPAs that I've added and the packages that are available from them. | 01:33 |
| kbp | is there a way to delete a file in terminal without typing its name? because the name is like this: Cánh đồng tuyết and I can't type it up. | 01:33 |
| Lord_Pall | got it. Looking now | 01:33 |
| edbian | kbp: You can remove everything in the directory it's in "sudo rm /path/to/file/*" | 01:34 |
| Lord_Pall | aha! found it. It was an alternate version availab.e | 01:34 |
| edbian | kbp: You can also use tab to autocomplete | 01:34 |
| jrib | kbp: use tab completion or use you can delete using the inode | 01:34 |
| === Taube is now known as taube | ||
| kbp | edbian: I just want to remove 1 file only | 01:34 |
| Berzerker | kbp, just type rm -rf C<tab> | 01:34 |
| edbian | kbp: Put that file in a folder by itself | 01:34 |
| edbian | kbp: Use tab completion | 01:34 |
| Lord_Pall | Huge thanks for the help | 01:35 |
| laymansterms | Lord_Pall, np. | 01:35 |
| kbp | jrib, edbian: tab completion doesn't work because there are many files start with C. Nautilus doesnt work and gives me error with filename and stuff | 01:35 |
| Lord_Pall | reboot time | 01:35 |
| GuidMorrow | why did "virtualbox-3.0" appear in the computer janitor? something's wrong with the package | 01:35 |
| jrib | kbp: then delete it using the inode. Do you know how to do that? | 01:35 |
| edbian | kbp: I think you have a corrupted file | 01:35 |
| GuidMorrow | !janitor | 01:36 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about janitor | 01:36 |
| edbian | kbp: You might went to run e2fsck from a live CD on your FS | 01:36 |
| laymansterms | kbp, rm C*g | 01:36 |
| kbp | jrib: I'm googling :) | 01:36 |
| laymansterms | the file ends in g so you can use that to your advantage. | 01:36 |
| Berzerker | kbp, browser to it in the browser, make a new folder, then put it, then try that again (so it's only file in the folder) | 01:36 |
| laymansterms | oops, I mean t | 01:36 |
| jrib | kbp: well -i passed to ls will give you the inode and you can use find to search by inode and tell it to -delete | 01:36 |
| === yacc__ is now known as yacc | ||

| arquebus | thanks anyway, I'll try later | 01:38 |
| Berzerker | kbp, you can't even move it? | 01:38 |
| laymansterms | Does anyone know how to get the list of packages from a default install of Jaunty? I've still had no bites on that. | 01:39 |
| Berzerker | kbp, strange. well. glad you got it solved. | 01:39 |
| Ben64 | does 10.04 have a name yet | 01:39 |
| edbian | laymansterms: What do you want to use such a list for? | 01:39 |
| inx-live | laymansterms: dpkg -l | 01:39 |
| GuidMorrow | wth! ubuntu just barfed my package | 01:40 |
| laymansterms | edbian, I've been upgrading since feisty, and I've installed a bunch of packages apps so I want to know the difference between what's in a default install and what's currently on my machine. | 01:40 |
| kbp | Berzerker: thank you :) (drag & drop gives error - the file is on server I'm just sftp to it using both nautilus and terminal. :) ) | 01:40 |
| GuidMorrow | maybe if I install it and then reboot it'll become permanent | 01:40 |
| taomaster | anyone tested the newest ubuntu beta | 01:41 |

| JaredKFan | I was known as guest73076, just changed the nickname. | 01:45 |
| onthecan | Ben64: how do I restore it? | 01:46 |

| mykola | livingdaylight: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba | 01:50 |
| livingdaylight | mykola: isn't ssh easier? | 01:50 |
| mykola | livingdaylight: ssh would be able to err.. talk. and i suppose you could use scp for one time things. having samba would be easier tho | 01:50 |
| mykola | livingdaylight: ssh is for logging in to the other computer and pulling files off one at a time (via scp) | 01:50 |
| Ben64 | yeah scp is a pain trying to do a lot of files | 01:50 |
| mykola | you would have to tar them all together into one big mess to do it all at once | 01:50 |
| onthecan | ok and then to restore it, its mv .mozilla-thunderbird.backup .mozilla-thunderbird? | 01:51 |
| inx-live | I just used nautilus to copy .mozilla-thunderbird to a USB, then copied it into home directory on a new install - worked like a charm! | 01:51 |

| detrix42 | I need some help with an nvidia drive/module. awhile back I tried to upgrade the video driver by going to nvidia's website.

| jeeves_Moss | how do I fix daemontools-run? it keeps exiting with an error code of "1", and won't let me install anything else | 03:12 |
| ectospasm | sintryx: that probably depends on your HD transfer speeds, your HD controller(s), and your I/O capacity | 03:12 |
| detrix42 | ectospasm: correct. I am trying to go back to the ubuntu restricted mod. I have. but due to the upgrade a component is still marked with the upgrade version....I can't seem to undo that. | 03:12 |

| ectospasm | yeah, as I said earlier... | 03:52 |
| Dr_Willis | gee.. a legal use of bittorrent.. and.. you are against it.. :) | 03:52 |

| ipatrol | Let's take this to #ubuntu-offtopic | 03:53 |
| voss | ipatrol, bittorrent is a protocol and has both legal and illegal uses just like everything else on the internet. | 03:53 |
| grzes | hi, it's kinda weird but i looked everywhere :D so i ask | 03:53 |
| Dr_Willis | ipatrol: its not even worth discussing in there i think - have fun. | 03:53 |
| GuidMorrow | !bt | 03:53 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about bt | 03:53 |

| GuidMorrow | isn't transmission a bt client pre-installed in ubuntu | 03:53 |
| Dr_Willis | GuidMorrow: yes. Transmission is a Bittorrent client. It works very well. | 03:54 |
| grzes | i'm looking for a name of a cartoon, or characters: there was a dog, ans mabye his son this father was slow, talk funny and also slow. had big ears | 03:54 |
| Dr_Willis | GuidMorrow: its getting where more and more 'games' are also using bittorrent to distribute their data/updates/files also. | 03:54 |
| grzes | it wasnt huckelberty | 03:54 |
| Steil | hey | 03:54 |
| Steil | is there a way to get the beta torrentflux work | 03:54 |
| Steil | or is there alternative? | 03:54 |
| voss | grzes, Goofy? | 03:54 |
| Steil | i love my torrentflux but it is so annoying now these days | 03:54 |
| grzes | no.. | 03:54 |
| sevodnya | MindSpark: Basically, the clock speed of the processor is dependent on subdividing a signal sent out from a quartz oscillator. If that gets misconfigured somehow (typically in BIOS settings), the processor will run at lower speeds. | 03:54 |
| Dr_Willis | Steil: try the source? | 03:54 |
| Steil | Dr_Willis: it does not work | 03:55 |
| Dr_Willis | Steil: fule a bug. :) | 03:55 |
| Steil | :( | 03:55 |
| MindSpark | sevodnya, I am thinking this might be set low when the laptop is on battery ? | 03:55 |
| grzes | he walks and talks slowly, but he was invincible. and had this funny laugh. | 03:55 |
| Steil | Dr_Willis: they not work on it in long time | 03:55 |
| grzes | not goofy not huckelberry | 03:55 |
| Steil | FUCK | 03:55 |
| Dr_Willis | Steil: sounds like a good reason to look for alterantives then. | 03:55 |

| addchild314 | steil: vuze | 03:56 |
| Dr_Willis | Steil: given that you just said the program doswent work.. theres lots of torrent programs that do work... and most have web interfaces. | 03:56 |
| MindSpark | sevodnya, yea, back when I used slackware I had to patch the kernel so it would run my processor | 03:56 |
| xnockout | EAZY GUYS !!!!! | 03:56 |
| Steil | Dr_Willis: it works but the newest version beta does not | 03:56 |
| Dr_Willis | Steil: transmission has a web interface. | 03:56 |
| Steil | do i need GUI to use it? | 03:56 |
| Dr_Willis | Steil: as does ktorrent. | 03:57 |
| Steil | i dont have x on machine | 03:57 |
| GuidMorrow | !ot Steil | 03:57 |

| sevodnya | MindSpark: Using slackware, you encountered the same problem unless you patched the kernel? | 03:57 |
| Steil | do they need x? | 03:57 |
| Dr_Willis | Steil: now you want to start putting limitions on things.. guess ya go research the clients out. | 03:57 |
| GuidMorrow | oops | 03:57 |
| Steil | well fuck | 03:57 |
| Steil | do they need x or nto? | 03:57 |

| addchild314 | steil: vuze has an alternative CLI | 03:58 |
| Dr_Willis | or run them in a vncserver session. Its not my fault you dont have X. | 03:58 |
| addchild314 | steil: and a web interface | 03:58 |
| MindSpark | sevodnya, I had to patch the kernel so it would run the speedstepping. But that was maybe 7 years ago or so | 03:58 |
| Steil | addchild314: is it decent? | 03:58 |
| Steil | and thanks addchild314 you're awesome! Dr_Willis you're a fucking asshole. | 03:59 |
| sevodnya | MindSpark: Not really my area of expertise, but the problem you're encountering now doesn't sound like it would be caused by the Linux kernel. | 03:59 |
| Dr_Willis | Steil: whatever.. go do your own research. | 03:59 |

| addchild314 | Hai | 04:01 |
| ohlievher | anyone can help to direct me or share with me NVidia GT9400GT Linux driver? | 04:01 |

| Firefishe | I'm using Intrepid 8.10, kde 4.2.2. How can I get the digital clock widget to display 12 hour format instead of 24 hour? | 04:06 |
| GuidMorrow | http://paste.ubuntu.com/253909/ | 04:06 |
| Dr_Willis | Firefishe: i recall you have to use the 'time and date format' setting in the settings tools.. and then restart the clock. (and ive no idea why they cant just give the clock a checkbox to show 12/24 hr format) | 04:07 |
| Firefishe | Dr_Willis: Agreed on the checkbox. Which time settings tool? | 04:08 |
| GuidMorrow | oldude67: the PCI bus scan reports instances of "Brooktree Corporation Bt878", but can't find anything to configure the hardware with | 04:08 |
| Dr_Willis | Firefishe: under kde3 it was called 'time and date format' but i forget where its at in kde4 | 04:08 |
| GuidMorrow | the card is: ATI TV WONDER VE | 04:08 |
| Dr_Willis | Firefishe: that also sets the time/date for mat for all the kde apps.. Not just the clock. | 04:09 |
| Firefishe | Dr_Willis: Gotcha. The thing is, the System Settings-->Date and Time menu doesn't have any way to set the format. | 04:10 |
| Firefishe | Dr_Willis: It's like it's hiding ;) | 04:10 |

| migg137 | can someobe give me a tutorial to making my windows bar transparent? | 04:11 |
| Dr_Willis | Firefishe: yep. its soo super secret they have to hide it.. i suggested once to some kde list to put a menu item from the clock settings right to it.. :) | 04:11 |
| Firefishe | Dr_Willis: Also, since I have gnome installed, as well, I tried gnome's time settings tool, but alas, it, too, has no check box. | 04:11 |
| Dunkel | i need help, my hard disc is not working :( i dont know what to do | 04:11 |
| GuidMorrow | have you started looking for a package called testdisk? | 04:11 |
| Dr_Willis | Firefishe: Firefishe gnomes clock in the panel here has a adjust time and date menu item at least. :) | 04:12 |
| addchild314 | Dunkel: more specific? | 04:12 |
| Dunkel | i plug it to my computer and the sistem is not detecting it | 04:12 |
| Dr_Willis | Firefishe: and that clock does have a 12/24 hr option | 04:12 |
| GuidMorrow | it's not being detected in bios -_- | 04:12 |
| Dunkel | i know it has some problems because i fix that using the scandisc in other computer | 04:12 |

| === vorian is now known as v | ||
| Firefishe | Dr_Willis: Nice to have that in gnome, at least. Still, I believe there's a way to get every clock to display 12 hour format system-wide, but I forget how to do it. | 04:13 |
| ohlievher | addchild314, yes it works but does not support the effect features of ubuntu 9.04 | 04:13 |
| Dr_Willis | Dunkel: for ntfs - its best to let a wndows box scan/check the disk for errors. | 04:14 |
| sevodnya | Dunkel: can you pastebin the output of lsusb? | 04:14 |
| Dunkel | yeah wait | 04:14 |

| ty_ | is there a channel for irc servers? | 04:23 |
| SJr | Dr_Willis, that could have happened at some point in the past, I Believe that some file associations were broken. | 04:23 |

| Dr_Willis | SJr: then i fixed that.. kde started runnignthe gnome file manager for their special locations | 04:25 |
| grzes | cu | 04:25 |
| TwoTwenty | RPG_Master: you cannot eject the live cd without loading the contents to RAM first... ubuntu livecd maybe a little large | 04:25 |
| SJr | Yeah it's really annoying, and I hate gnome personally, I had to run it for a while because KDE sucked | 04:25 |
| Dr_Willis | koolkat: i have found that burner tool to be a little. flakey. I gent to just use k3b | 04:26 |
| RPG_Master | TwoTwenty: But I've done it before with only one drive! I just cant remember how I did it.... | 04:26 |
| Evelina | Why do I get "segmentation fault" when I try to run Venus feed aggregator on Ubuntu Server 9.04? | 04:26 |
| TwoTwenty | RPG_Master: you have to load the disc to ram and then unmount it Im guessing | 04:26 |
| Dr_Willis | SJr: did they do somthing to improve kde lately? last i tried it.. i couldent stand to use it. :) which is why im now using gnome. | 04:26 |
| RPG_Master | What's the command for that? | 04:26 |
| oc | how do i get wireless working with my msi u100 | 04:27 |
| SJr | Dr_Willis, it's gotten alot better since 4.0... | 04:27 |
| snd_ | can anyone help me make a bootable usb image? | 04:27 |
| snd_ | so LOST >_< | 04:27 |
| TwoTwenty | RPG: not certain its in the Ubuntu disk | 04:27 |
| TwoTwenty | RPG: I have done it with DSL livecd | 04:27 |
| SJr | I just despise gnome, but for dumb reasons, I hate the brown, it's UI feels like it was skinned in the 90's and like Linus' Law states: "You cannot claim that something is configurable, if there is no where to change the configuration" | 04:28 |
| RPG_Master | TwoTwenty: I tried Puppy... it wouldn't boot :( | 04:28 |
| TwoTwenty | Sjr: gnome is not brown its blue in debian | 04:28 |
| Uberoff | RPG_Master, try crunchbang linux then | 04:28 |
| SJr | Yeah but I run ubuntu | 04:28 |
| TwoTwenty | RPG: can the computer boot USB | 04:28 |
| chibihogoshino | so.. i cant make a clone image and save that to a external hd and them boot from a restore cd and then clone that to the new hd ? | 04:29 |
| TwoTwenty | Sjr: ubuntu made the brown not gnome | 04:29 |
| TwoTwenty | Sjr: they customized it | 04:29 |
| phirestalker | I wiped my drive trying to troubleshoot boot problems, then I installed a fresh system and restored over that with a backup with sbackup, I am running this system now. after fixing the obvious problems of package discrepancies I am left with some dbus errors which I didn't notice before, so long story short, how do I reset dbus security to default settings? | 04:29 |
| koolkat | Dr_Willis: I cant eject my DVD now since I tried to burn it. Is there anyway to do it without restarting? | 04:29 |
| RPG_Master | TwoTwenty: I tried that awhile ago and it didn't work... I could try again though. | 04:29 |
| SJr | I know that but it still feels 'old' | 04:29 |
| TwoTwenty | Sjr: try using compiz | 04:29 |
| SJr | Yeah I know, it still feels old | 04:29 |
| Dr_Willis | SJr: i am constantly amazed at how all these 'new' innovations in gui 'research' and design.. really dont make things any easier.... :) | 04:30 |
| SJr | I've tried it, and that's a prime example of lack of configuration | 04:30 |
| Blehk__ | Sjr, use E17. | 04:30 |
| TwoTwenty | Sjr: and playing with the themes, if you want the vista look go for KDE.. I like the clean dynamic interface of gnome personally | 04:30 |
| SJr | E17? | 04:30 |
| voss | SJr, my gnome is blue | 04:30 |
| Dr_Willis | E17 - the windowmanager/desktop that re-invents itself every 3 years. | 04:30 |
| TwoTwenty | Sjr: feels old is in the head | 04:30 |
| Dr_Willis | My gnome is Hot Pink - with a Hello Kitty Icon theme. :) | 04:30 |
| jmite | Does anybody know of a command to query what window manager x is using? I'm trying to write a script to switch to compiz if xfwm is running, and vice versa | 04:30 |
| Berzerker | Dr_Willis, it would be | 04:31 |
| Uberoff | I prefer the clean dynamic interface of openbox, personally. I find gnome repugnant in the extreme. | 04:31 |
| voss | Dr_willis, thats is really sad ;-) | 04:31 |
| === addchild314_AFK is now known as addchild314 | ||
| Berzerker | Uberoff, openbox? | 04:31 |
| Dr_Willis | jmite: ive never seen sich a command. thers just too many different windowmanaagers.. | 04:31 |
| TwoTwenty | Uberoff: lol | 04:31 |
| Dunkel | i am trying thi sudo mount /mnt/sda1 | 04:31 |
| chibihogoshino | ok.. partimage will do what i want .. if any one else asks .. yay... http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/partimage | 04:31 |
| Dunkel | and i cant get it works | 04:31 |
| Uberoff | but live and let live, I say ;) | 04:31 |
| voss | At least gnome doesnt have that retarded little foot anymore | 04:31 |
| koolkat | Dr_Willis: I cant eject my DVD now since I tried to burn it. Is there anyway to do it without restarting? | 04:32 |
| Uberoff | Berzerker, openbox is a lightweight wm | 04:32 |
| jmite | dr willis: okay, thanks! | 04:32 |
| Dr_Willis | koolkat: try the eject command? | 04:32 |
| Uberoff | Berzerker, window manager. It's the only wm i use anymore | 04:32 |
| Berzerker | Uberoff, looks interesting. | 04:32 |
| Berzerker | Uberoff, would you mind helping me get it setup on my comp? | 04:32 |
| koolkat | Dr_Willis: how does that work? | 04:33 |
| voss | KDE lost me at 4.0. | 04:33 |
| Uberoff | Berzerker, well, to tell you the truth, it's the kind of window manager that if you can't install and configure it yourself, your probably better off using a "bigger" wm. Or maybe even XFCE4 or something | 04:33 |
| Berzerker | Uberoff, what's so different about it? | 04:34 |
| nevyn | voss: 4.x is awesome the 4.0 "release" was aweful | 04:34 |
| TwoTwenty | KDE lost me in 1999 but it seems to have great features | 04:34 |
| GuidMorrow | these windows jiggle like jell-o | 04:34 |
| RPG_Master | Actually I burned in Ubuntu CD through a Linux Mint Live CD | 04:34 |
| koolkat | can window managers be change at any time? | 04:35 |
| Uberoff | Berzerker, install it and see. You can switch between wm's when ubuntu boots | 04:35 |
| RPG_Master | I tried it again and it now gives me an error message... | 04:35 |
| voss | nev, I hate to say it, but gnome is "good enough" now | 04:35 |
| TwoTwenty | RPG_Master: I think loading it into ram is a boottime option | 04:35 |
| Uberoff | Berzerker, "sudo apt-get install openbox" I imagine | 04:35 |
| Berzerker | ok | 04:35 |
| LunaticHyen | hello | 04:35 |
| koolkat | Dr_Willis: how does that work? | 04:35 |
| Evelina | How do I run planet-venus after installing it on Ubuntu Server? | 04:35 |
| TwoTwenty | RPG_Master: reboot and type help or hit the f keys for more possible boot time options | 04:35 |
| Dr_Willis | koolkat: short answer 'yes' - long answer.. it can be done.. and can be simple or complex. | 04:35 |
| Dr_Willis | koolkat: how does what work? | 04:35 |
| LunaticHyen | does anyone know much about ffmpeg? | 04:35 |
| koolkat | Dr_Willis: the eject command | 04:35 |
| Dr_Willis | LunaticHyen: i know i spent an hr+ reading its faq/docs the other day to discover the exact answer to a question i had about it. :) | 04:36 |
| Berzerker | Uberoff, then just log out and switch VMs? | 04:36 |
| RPG_Master | Is this possible... when Grub is giving me Error 22? | 04:36 |
| RPG_Master | I need to burn The Super Grub Disc :P | 04:36 |
| Dr_Willis | koolkat: it sends some command to the kernel to eject the cd. :) | 04:36 |
| Uberoff | Berzerker, yeah. It's WMs (Window Managers) | 04:36 |
| Berzerker | ok. thanks | 04:36 |
| Berzerker | brb | 04:36 |
| GuidMorrow | xchat is using up 18MB memory, how do I reduce memory usage | 04:36 |
| Dr_Willis | GuidMorrow: you are worried about 18mb of memory? | 04:37 |
| addchild314 | RPG: its giving you err 22? | 04:37 |
| koolkat | Dr_Willis: so you just types eject and it alrady knows to eject the CD? | 04:37 |
| Dr_Willis | koolkat: thats the default options for it. it has other options | 04:37 |
| RPG_Master | addchild314: Yep... | 04:37 |
| RPG_Master | :( | 04:37 |
| Dr_Willis | koolkat: ive seen it ised in 'server room banks' to identify a machine. :) ssh to the server ya want to find on the physical rack.. and do eject.. it opens its cd tray. :P | 04:38 |
| addchild314 | rpg: whats the story behind your problem? in brief? | 04:38 |
| LunaticHyen | Dr_Willis: i'm trying to get it to convert a file to theora, but it says there's no such thing as libtheora, even though the docs say that's how to do it, it works when I do 'ffmpeg -i file.mpg file.ogv' | 04:38 |
| Uberoff | Berzerker, chances are you won't like it at first. Most ppl don't. I probably didn't. As you get more experienced with *nix it grows on you | 04:38 |
| voss | guid, you can always use ircii its text based | 04:38 |
| koolkat | dR_Willis: it didn't work | 04:38 |
| addchild314 | dr_willis: ive also seen it used as the most epic reset switch ever | 04:38 |
| koolkat | Dr_Willis: it didn't work | 04:38 |
| Dr_Willis | LunaticHyen: some versions of ffmpeg for ubuntu may or may not have all the file codecs/types compiled in. You want to convert TO theora.. hmm.. | 04:39 |
| RPG_Master | addchild314: Today I deleted a 6gig Kubuntu partition and allocated that to my Ubuntu partition... Also, some moving to the left of the disk was involve :| | 04:39 |
| RPG_Master | *involved | 04:39 |
| Berzerker | Uberoff, lol you said lightweight. you weren't kidding. | 04:39 |
| Dr_Willis | LunaticHyen: you did install libtheora0 - The Theora Video Compression Codec | 04:39 |
| Berzerker | no thank you sir. | 04:40 |
| Berzerker | GuidMorrow, 178 | 04:40 |
| Berzerker | GuidMorrow, 18MB*? that's not that much | 04:40 |
| === _Grim76_ is now known as Grim76__ | ||
| GuidMorrow | turned off window effects | 04:40 |
| Uberoff | lol. Like I said. The more experience you have, the more useful openbox (or any *box) is | 04:40 |
| koolkat | Uberoff: you talking about xfce? | 04:40 |
| Zetta | Okay, I'm trying to install Ubuntu, obviously (9.04, 32-bit), but I've been unable to get it to load properly. When I burnt the iso to a CD, it didn't recognize it, and when I tried creating a bootable thumbdrive, it refused to boot and my BIOS said "boot error". The MD5 hash is right, though. What am I doing wrong? | 04:40 |
| gaintsura | ah... the joy of going through the issue resolving with ubuntu begins again on a totally different system... | 04:41 |
| Dr_Willis | addchild314: let me try your command... | 04:41 |
| Uberoff | koolkat, no. | 04:41 |
| GuidMorrow | !burn | Zetta | 04:41 |
| ubottu | Zetta: CD/DVD Burning software: K3b (KDE), gnomebaker, brasero, serpentine, graveman, Nautilus-CD-Burner, GToaster, xcdroast (GNOME), wodim (terminal-based). Burning .iso files: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto | 04:41 |
| Berzerker | will sudo apt-get installing kde work with gnome, so I can switch back and forth? | 04:41 |
| addchild314 | rpg: hmm... | 04:41 |
| RPG_Master | addchild314: hmm indeed.... | 04:42 |
| gaintsura | During updates, /var/lob/scrollkeeper/es/scrollkeeper_cl.xml:781 : parser error : opening and ending tag mismatch sect line 488 and ScrollKeeperContentsList <- Is it really as simple as finding the mismatch tags and fixing them? on 8.04 | 04:42 |
| Zetta | Mkay. Thanks, I'll try one of those and see if that resolves the issue. | 04:42 |
| Dr_Willis | addchild314: it seems to be working here. | 04:42 |
| Berzerker | Zetta, if you have access to a windows computer, it would be easier. | 04:43 |
| TwoTwenty | RPG_master: use live cd backup on USB HDD and reinstall | 04:43 |
| addchild314 | rpg: i think its looking for a partition that isnt there anymore | 04:43 |
| Dr_Willis | addchild314: i may be using the ffmpeg from the medibuntu repositories - its version is --> FFmpeg version 0.5-svn17737+3:0.svn20090303-1ubuntu6, C | 04:43 |
| Dr_Willis | addchild314: and i just instelled that libtheora package also. | 04:43 |
| addchild314 | dr_willis: wha? | 04:43 |
| Dr_Willis | addchild314: im getting confused - :) who was it with the theora vonvertion issue? :) | 04:43 |
| Zetta | Berzerker: I do, yes. I used InfraRecorder last time, but I'm guessing it didn't work. | 04:43 |
| Dr_Willis | i cant scroll UP fast enough to read the history buffer... | 04:44 |
| Berzerker | Zetta, try unetbootin | 04:44 |
| Berzerker | !unetbootin | Zedde | 04:44 |
| Dr_Willis | LunaticHyen: there we go. :) i got it working here. | 04:44 |
| ubottu | Zedde: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 04:44 |
| Berzerker | blah | 04:44 |
| TwoTwenty | RPG_: you still there, you can point grub to a partition that contains the kernel if you know how its mapped | 04:44 |
| TwoTwenty | like hd0,0 | 04:44 |
| Berzerker | !unetbootin | Zetta | 04:44 |

| addchild314 | Doc: nope. not me | 04:44 |
| Dr_Willis | LunaticHyen: ffmpeg from medibuntu and the libtheora package worked here. | 04:44 |
| Dr_Willis | addchild314: shame on you :) | 04:45 |
| Zetta | Again, tried that before, but it didn't work. It gave me "boot error" on trying to boot from the thumbdrive. | 04:45 |
| Dr_Willis | LunaticHyen: check versionof your ffmpeg --> FFmpeg version 0.5-svn17737+3:0.svn20090303-1ubuntu6 is what i have here. | 04:45 |

| gaintsura | michael1: ndiswrapper or madwifi :) | 04:47 |

| dsdeiz_ | hello, what's the difference of pcm and master? | 04:50 |
| RPG_Master | TwoTwenty: How do I go about doing that? | 04:50 |
| smacktalk | anyone have a how to on setting up vnc between two vboxed ubuntu clients? | 04:50 |
| smacktalk | :) | 04:50 |
| Dr_Willis | smacktalk: check their ip's and the vbox network settings. You can set them up on theor own private 'vrtual' lan. or on the host lan. | 04:51 |
| smacktalk | I have the ip's and the vbox's are set up as bridged | 04:52 |
| collinm140 | ok | 04:52 |
| smacktalk | I can ping...just can't do vnc | 04:52 |
| Dr_Willis | 'bridged' ? Hmm virtualbox settings ehre (on ubutnu) are NAT/host Interface/ or Internal network | 04:52 |
| collinm140 | i need some help | 04:53 |
| collinm140 | im kind of new to linux | 04:53 |
| gaintsura | michael1: hold on, is that an Atheros AR5007EG ? | 04:53 |
| damo22 | which package do i get if i want to compile my own kernel for ubuntu 8.04 | 04:53 |
| Dr_Willis | smacktalk: One of those make the vbox machine appear on the local lan as if it was a 'real' machine. | 04:53 |
| IdleOne | collinm140, ask away and someone will help if they can | 04:53 |
| Evelina | How do I which command I'll have to use? | 04:53 |
| Dr_Willis | smacktalk: the internal - is just for vbox to vbox machines (i think) | 04:53 |
| phirestalker | I wiped my drive trying to troubleshoot boot problems, then I installed a fresh system and restored over that with a backup with sbackup, I am running this system now. after fixing the obvious problems of package discrepancies I am left with some dbus errors which I didn't notice before, so long story short, how do I reset dbus security to default settings? | 04:53 |

| collinm140 | how do i get steam on ubuntu | 04:55 |
| collinm140 | ? | 04:55 |
| michael1 | gaintsura: Atheros 5211 according to dmesg output from a device called wifi0 | 04:55 |

| collinm140 | i dont have volume control | 04:56 |
| collinm140 | wats the problem | 04:56 |
| collinm140 | ? | 04:56 |
| Zetta | Oh, lovely. I've even managed to stump the guys in the support channel. XD | 04:56 |
| Dr_Willis | Zetta: booting from usb - has always been quirky | 04:57 |
| collinm140 | id reccomend using an iso | 04:57 |
| collinm140 | thats what i did | 04:57 |
| Dr_Willis | Zetta: theres no 'sure' thing. its often a issue of the drive/pc bios/phase of the moon. | 04:57 |
| collinm140 | if ur looking for unr | 04:57 |
| collinm140 | just look it up | 04:57 |
| Dr_Willis | Zetta: try the flash drive in other machines. see if it works there. | 04:57 |
| bazhang | !enter | collinm140 | 04:58 |
| ubottu | collinm140: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 04:58 |
| collinm140 | try the iso | 04:58 |
| collinm140 | sorry | 04:58 |
| Zetta | Dr_Willis: Worth a shot, I suppose. I'll report back momentarily. | 04:58 |
| collinm140 | does anyone on here know how i can install steam on ubuntu | 04:59 |
| Berzerker | !steam | collinm140 | 04:59 |

| Berzerker | how do I uninstall kde? | 05:00 |
| Berzerker | sudo apt-get remove kde? | 05:00 |

| oldude67 | phirestalker, just a dumb question are you in the dbus group? | 05:10 |
| dsdeiz_ | in laptops, what do you call the keys which can trigger event by touching them? | 05:11 |
| jetsaredim | anyone know of a jaunty package for usb-creator | 05:12 |
| nsahoo | thinking of making the ubuntu computer at home double up as a home server. i'll still work on it, but, hoping to use it to stream media from it to the laptop connected to tv, print from the laptop to the printer connected to the server etc. Is there a guide to this? | 05:13 |
| MicronXD | hi all! | 05:13 |
| dsdeiz_ | anyone? :D | 05:13 |
| phirestalker | oldude67, I don't see a dbus group, I see a messagebus group, but noone is a member of that | 05:13 |
| bucky | phirestalker oldude67 there's a plugdev group type groups as user | 05:14 |
| Dr_Willis | nsahoo: most every linux distro can handle server tasks. :) | 05:14 |
| Dr_Willis | nsahoo: i use my ubuntu desktop to doo most all teh stuff you mentioned. | 05:15 |
| nsahoo | Dr_Willis: sure, I am not sure what all server programs I need and how to set it up | 05:15 |
| Dr_Willis | nsahoo: pick a service.. research it.. do it. :) | 05:15 |
| oldude67 | i was just googling around to see if there was an answer for you phirestalker | 05:15 |
| Dr_Willis | nsahoo: for sharing files withwindows machines, thats 'samba' | 05:15 |
| bucky | jetsaredim: theres usb-creator and a usb-imagewriter in the repos and a http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ | 05:15 |
| jetsaredim | nsahoo: depends on what you want to do with it | 05:15 |
| Dr_Willis | nsahoo: samba and cups - also used for shareing printers. | 05:15 |
| phirestalker | oldude67, I don't even see a group called plugdev is my system that messed up? | 05:15 |
| nsahoo | Dr_Willis: Yes. I can use samba, but, what about upnp? | 05:15 |
| Dr_Willis | nsahoo: there are sone uPNP servers for ubuntu also.. but ive never tried them. I just access the videos 'share' normally | 05:16 |
| phirestalker | oldude67, oh well I have tried googling a bit, I'm having trouble getting the right terms to narrow it down | 05:16 |
| Dr_Willis | !upnp | 05:16 |
| ubottu | To stream media to other UPNP aware devices (such as the Xbox, PS3, or iRadio) you need a UPNP server. See !info mediatomb for information regarding the MediaTomb package | 05:16 |
| === addchild314 is now known as addchild314_AFK | ||

| ubottu | hian_: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Obrigado. | 05:17 |
| ubottu | mediatomb (source: mediatomb): UPnP MediaServer (main package). In component universe, is optional. Version 0.11.0-3ubuntu2 (jaunty), package size 17 kB, installed size 96 kB | 05:17 |
| Dr_Willis | nsahoo: last i checked into upnp - it was full of issues.. and Windows was the cause of a lot of them. :) | 05:17 |
| Dr_Willis | nsahoo: so as i said.. i just play videos from the samba share i got set to share all my 'videos' - much easier to get going | 05:17 |
| kiran_ | can anyone suggest where can i get xbmc media centre | 05:17 |
| === addchild314_AFK is now known as addchild314 | ||
| Dr_Willis | kiran_: its in the repos i thoiught.. and has its own homepage/livecd version/downloads | 05:18 |
| Dr_Willis | guess he dident want to know | 05:18 |
| hian_ | #ubuntu-br | 05:18 |
| nsahoo | Dr_Willis: that way you just deal with one server. But, when you play a 1.5 GB file say, does it need to transfer the whole thing? | 05:18 |
| Dr_Willis | Hmm.. where did i find that xbmc repo/binary at.. | 05:18 |
| Dr_Willis | nsahoo: no. | 05:18 |
| phirestalker | bucky, it's not a usb device problem it is just errors showing up in my auth.log, which I suspect is the reason that tomboy always has some error attaching to the panel at startup, among other small issues | 05:19 |
| nsahoo | Dr_Willis: so, it streams, so to speak | 05:19 |
| Dr_Willis | nsahoo: you see that with some dumb file managers under linux at times. :) but no it does not copy then play under most cases | 05:19 |
| Dr_Willis | nsahoo: it 'sends' :) and playas as it gets. | 05:19 |
| Dr_Willis | nsahoo: wife watches videos like that all the time on her windows box. | 05:19 |
| Dr_Willis | nsahoo: this way she can make playlists and other tricks with the file manager. | 05:20 |
| nsahoo | Dr_Willis: cool | 05:20 |
| Dr_Willis | !xbmc | 05:20 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about xbmc | 05:20 |
| nickrud | Dr_Willis, http://xbmc.org/wiki/?title=HOW-TO_install_XBMC_for_Linux_on_Ubuntu_with_a_minimal_installation_step-by-step (interesting!) | 05:20 |
| oldude67 | phirestalker, what was you doing before you got these errors? or what has caused them? | 05:20 |
| nsahoo | Dr_Willis: so, you are saying I'll just setup samba and should be all good. I can set up cups for printer sharing later .. and most functionalities are there | 05:20 |
| phirestalker | ok there is something wrong with my users and groups program, root isn't checked off in the root group | 05:21 |
| bucky | phirestalker: could this be the problem? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/jaunty/+source/tomboy/+bug/345166 | 05:21 |
| phirestalker | bucky, oldude67, it seems that my problem is bigger than I thought? | 05:21 |
| * tak11 is away: Eating a Banana, gtfo | 05:21 | |
| kr1t | hey yall | 05:22 |
| Dr_Willis | nsahoo: cups is allready intalled and im pretty sure it allready shares the printers by default | 05:22 |
| phirestalker | bucky, oldude67, no groups have users checked off in them, although that can't really be true | 05:22 |
| Dr_Willis | nsahoo: cups and samba work together i think to let windows box's print | 05:22 |
| nsahoo | Dr_Willis: I am using the desktop version, not the server one | 05:22 |
| bazhang | !away > tak11 | 05:22 |
| ubottu | tak11, please see my private message | 05:22 |
| bucky | phirestalker: i think i found it http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=628909 | 05:22 |
| Dr_Willis | nsahoo: it does NOT matter. | 05:22 |
| nsahoo | Dr_Willis: ok | 05:22 |
| Dr_Willis | nsahoo: the desktop version can work as a server. :) and cups is used on the desktop also | 05:23 |
| nsahoo | Dr_Willis: sure, it's just that I was not sure cups was already installed | 05:23 |
| nsahoo | Dr_Willis: ok | 05:23 |
| kr1t | Hey anybody here know much about getting MTP players to transfer with Amarok? Bit of a strange problem...never had before | 05:23 |
| oldude67 | phirestalker, have you tried adding yourself to some of the groups you need? | 05:24 |
| bucky | phirestalker: Essentially, edit the tomboy menu item and get rid of the --search argument | 05:24 |
| phirestalker | bucky, well it will start up just fine, it's just the panel applet doesn't want to work on startup, but if I add the applet again after startup it will work | 05:24 |
| nsahoo | is there any advantage to freenas then? if you have more than a minimal hardware computer? | 05:24 |
| mer_one | hi | 05:25 |
| phirestalker | bucky, you mean for the applet on the panel? how do I do that? | 05:26 |
| phirestalker | oldude67, well I'm not sure I want to do it graphically since it isn't showing accurate info, so what was the command again? | 05:26 |

| oldude67 | dj9404, try logging out switching to kde and then logging back in. | 05:28 |

| GuidMorrow | I don't have "log conversations" checked | 05:37 |
| Dr_Willis | dsdeiz_: theres also ways to remap specific keys to the proper XF86_WHATEVER events | 05:38 |
| chriss8 | Some help? Is there a way to completely rewrite everything on a netbook with ubuntu? I'm currently dualbooting ubuntu and XP, and I'd like it if I could start over and just have a brand new ubuntu. | 05:38 |
| dsdeiz_ | oldude67: me? just a window manager.. :( | 05:38 |
| phirestalker | Dr_Willis, did you ever see that joke howto website for burning cds that included a toaster? lol | 05:38 |
| Dr_Willis | chriss8: just format the ubuntu partitions when you reinstall ubuntu. | 05:38 |
| dsdeiz_ | Dr_Willis: like xmodmap? | 05:38 |
| arleslie | chriss8, just reformat the harddrive | 05:38 |
| oldude67 | chriss8, ya put the disk in and tell it to use the whole disk | 05:38 |
| GuidMorrow | still, why is the last 1024 lines of chat loaded when xchat loads | 05:38 |
| Dr_Willis | dsdeiz_: yep - i had to play with that for an IBM keyboard i had. | 05:38 |
| oldude67 | GuidMorrow, hold on i remember seeing that. | 05:39 |
| bucky | phirestalker: according to google you need to be a member of the powerdev group ..I think http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=512936 | 05:39 |
| Dr_Willis | GuidMorrow: history buffer? does it really matter? :) hit F1 check teh xcaht help docs? | 05:39 |
| Dr_Willis | logging is different from a history/saved buffer perhaps? | 05:39 |
| chriss8 | Dr_Willis, arleslie, oldude67:Format the hard drive? So do I just plug in a ubuntu USB, boot from that and install? | 05:39 |
| oldude67 | GuidMorrow, its under logging just get rid of display scroll back | 05:39 |
| dsdeiz_ | Dr_Willis: btw, xev also recognizes it but displays really weird outputs not like keyboard events | 05:39 |
| Dr_Willis | chriss8: thats how i install ubuntu on my netbook., | 05:39 |
| bucky | phirestalker: here's another reference to it https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-applet/+bug/359586 | 05:40 |
| arleslie | chriss8, yes thats correct | 05:40 |
| chriss8 | Also, an unrelated question, should I use the desktop edition, or the netbook edition? I like the layout and look of the desktop edition more, but I've heard you can modify the netbook edition to look like the desktop one. Which would you suggest? (I have an eee pc 1005HA netbook) | 05:41 |
| gvsa123 | i have a portable hd that i hook up to ubuntu via usb... it is possible to make this a shared folder so that i can access it via samba from windows right? | 05:41 |
| apoleo12 | heya... before i do some grub repair.. there's soemthing I wanna clarify something here. the grub according to the menu.lst is pointing at h2,4 but according to windows disk managment; linux is on the third drive on a first partition | 05:41 |
| Dr_Willis | dsdeiz_: i had to add some proper commands to rc.local to get the xev keys seen/used right.. so i could remap them | 05:41 |
| arleslie | chriss8, either one is perfectly fine, the desktop doesn't support usb install unless you get a thirdparty program to do that | 05:41 |
| apoleo12 | there's an image I snapshot of ity and wanna show one of youse... | 05:41 |
| apoleo12 | help? | 05:41 |
| arleslie | chriss8, I would recommend the netbook remix, and you can make it look like the desktop | 05:42 |
| Dr_Willis | dsdeiz_: my script for my old IBM keyboard. | 05:42 |
| Dr_Willis | pastebinit /etc/setkeycodes.sh | 05:42 |
| Dr_Willis | http://pastebin.com/f7faaf567 | 05:42 |
| chriss8 | arleslie: Yeah, I've done it with unet bootin. Is there a guide you can link me to to make the netbook remix into the desktop theme? | 05:42 |
| apoleo12 | hey arleslie ;) | 05:42 |
| bucky | phirestalker: wait a minute... how about this http://v2kblog.blogspot.com/2009/05/dbus-daemon-rejected-send-message.html | 05:42 |
| arleslie | chriss8, to do the desktop theme, go to System > Administation and click switch to Desktop Version | 05:43 |
| arleslie | apoleo12, hey | 05:43 |
| * tak11 is back (gone 00:21:42) | 05:43 | |
| dsdeiz_ | Dr_Willis: er, too deep for me.. hehehe i'll just let these dang multimedia keys pass for now :D | 05:43 |
| Dr_Willis | chriss8: i install the ubuntu-desktop package then use the settings tool to tell it to not use the UNR interface. | 05:43 |
| bucky | chriss8: apt-get install ubuntu-netbook-remix-default-settings and ubuntu-netbook-remix-default-settings | 05:44 |
| chriss8 | arleslie: Oh. That wa ssimple. Thanks. | 05:44 |
| arleslie | Dr_Willis, he doesn't have to install the ubuntu-desktop package | 05:44 |
| Dr_Willis | dsdeiz_: took me some time. Most of that file is comments. i had to figure out what keys were what.. and remap them to the right XF86xxxxxxxx | 05:44 |
| bucky | chriss8: and netbook-launcher too | 05:44 |
| Dr_Willis | if not using the UNR. i found things lacking without ubuntu-desktop :) | 05:44 |
| phirestalker | bucky, that bug report on launchpad seems to have the exact error message so there is that issue most likely | 05:44 |
| bucky | phirestalker: looks like it | 05:44 |
| apoleo12 | arleslie: before i do some grub repair.. there's soemthing I wanna clarify something here. the grub according to the menu.lst is pointing at h2,4 but according to windows disk managment; linux is on the third drive on a first partition | 05:45 |
| phirestalker | bucky, I'll keep an eye on the bug report | 05:45 |
| Dr_Willis | the UNR is neat in ways.. and VERy annoying in others. | 05:45 |
| kavurt | chriss8, there's a button under preferences, "switch desktop mode" just use that | 05:45 |
| apoleo12 | I dont expect ya to remember my plm.. but does that refresh it? | 05:45 |
| chriss8 | Okay, I'm confused. Should I get the netbook edition, or the desktop one? Or is there no real difference, and it's just a matter of preference? | 05:45 |
| bucky | phirestalker: try the fix.. back up the file like in the example and edit it | 05:45 |
| Dr_Willis | chriss8: what is your netbook? i use the netbook edition on my AAO | 05:45 |
| arleslie | apoleo12, then where it says hd (0,1) it should be hd (3,1) | 05:45 |
| chriss8 | Dr_Willis: eee pc 1005HA | 05:45 |
| Dr_Willis | chriss8: check the forums for how well the EEE stuff is supported there are some EEE specific ubuntu variants also | 05:46 |
| GuidMorrow | cannot execute: " its under logging just get rid of display scroll back" | 05:46 |

| snd_ | hey woulda nyone kno how I would access a usb drive plugged into my ubuntu box on a virtualbox of vista? | 05:51 |
| Dr_Willis | dsdeiz_: means very little to me.. I had keys thet the kernel dident even recognize. so my issue wa a bit different. | 05:51 |
| snd_ | like in VIsta's cd cmd | 05:51 |
| Dr_Willis | dsdeiz_: i followed the rather old guide at --> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultimediaKeys | 05:52 |
| dsdeiz_ | Dr_Willis: oh ok.. got it. will read it now | 05:52 |
| Dr_Willis | snd_: virtualbox fromt he repos can Not access real 'usb' drives.. the version from the virtualbox homepage CAN if you configure it to do so. | 05:52 |
| Dr_Willis | snd_: if you set it all up right.. it will show up as if it was plugged into a normal windows machine. (ie: have a g: letter) | 05:53 |
| Jimmy | Hey im trying to use a live cd but when Ubuntu 9.04 boots i can't use my keyboard or mouse. Any help please? | 05:54 |
| chriss8 | Is the "aternat | 05:54 |
| Dr_Willis | snd_: alterantively - You can set up a 'share' on the usb drive and let windows in vb. access it as a 'share/network neighborhood place' | 05:54 |
| GuidMorrow | !raid | 05:54 |

| chriss8 | Is the "alternate" torrent from www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors the netbook edition? | 05:54 |
| Dr_Willis | snd_: or a 3rd way. virtualbox can have its own special virtualbox share. that windows can access IF you install the virtualbox guest addations. | 05:54 |
| Dr_Willis | chriss8: no.. theres a UNR edition thats a .img file. | 05:54 |
| Dr_Willis | chriss8: img - you copy it properly to a flash drive. | 05:54 |
| Dr_Willis | chriss8: alt edition = alternative text type installer. | 05:55 |
| GuidMorrow | why is the application "preferences" menu always under the "edit" menu? | 05:56 |

| Jimmy | both usb | 05:59 |
| bucky | GuidMorrow: you mean the application "preferences" menu always under the "edit" menu in FireFox | 05:59 |
| GuidMorrow | usually the option falls under the "tools" menu | 05:59 |

| GuidMorrow | ? | 06:00 |
| GuidMorrow | ubottu they meant usb keyboard/mice | 06:01 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 06:01 |
| oldude67 | jimmy ugh guess you cant do that if the keyboard isnt working..lmao | 06:01 |
| Jimmy | yeah so am i stuck with vista? | 06:01 |
| bucky | jimmy did you recompile your own kernel or something? | 06:01 |
| GuidMorrow | !keyboard | 06:02 |
| ubottu | To switch your keyboard layout on GNOME: System -> Preferences -> Keyboard (GNOME) - KDE: K -> System Settings -> Regional & Language -> Keyboard Layout (KDE) - Xfce: see https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/xubuntu/desktopguide/C/switch-keyboard-layout.html - See also !Shortcuts | 06:02 |

| Jimmy | idk how to do that? is that under install options | 06:02 |
| oldude67 | Jimmy, but keyboard and mouse worked to load ubuntu? | 06:02 |
| GuidMorrow | is this upon installing ubuntu or loading the live CD | 06:02 |
| googeek | jimmy: Do you have a port keyboard and mouse to try? | 06:03 |
| googeek | jimmy: I don't know much about ubuntu just yet, but I'm guessing you're missing something you need, A port would most likely work for sure | 06:03 |
| Jimmy | yeah it let me select "instal ubuntu without changing harddrive....sumthing" | 06:03 |
| kelly_ | hey how do i install bogfilter | 06:03 |
| Jimmy | then it stops when loading ubuntu | 06:03 |
| googeek | Does anyone know why my visual effects wont enable, even though nvidia seems to be working other than that? | 06:03 |
| GuidMorrow | there is a little known setting in BIOS called "Legacy USB support" ... if you can get in there and turn it on you might be able to use your setup | 06:04 |
| Jimmy | k ill try that. | 06:04 |
| Jimmy | thanks | 06:04 |
| GuidMorrow | !bios | 06:05 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about bios | 06:05 |
| error404notfound | can i force programs to open in a certain workspace? like evolution in 2nd workspace and thunderbird in first | 06:05 |

| arleslie | !find bogfilter | kelly_ | 06:09 |
| ClayG | how do I access my trashcan from x? | 06:09 |
| ubottu | kelly_: Package/file bogfilter does not exist in jaunty | 06:09 |
| SealedWithAKiss | Strange question, would a standard inkjet orl laser printer print onto toilet paper? I don't have a printer so can't test this to find out! | 06:09 |
| arleslie | GuidMorrow, to find package information use !find <package name> | 06:09 |
| arleslie | !offtopic SealedWithAKiss | 06:10 |

| Dr_Willis | SealedWithAKiss: i hope you got some good quality T.P. :) cheap stuff..i doubt it... | 06:10 |
| GuidMorrow | kelly_: That package might be used in another Linux distro | 06:10 |
| Dr_Willis | SealedWithAKiss: and the ink will proberly print all fuzzy | 06:10 |
| arleslie | !ot | SealedWithAKiss | 06:10 |
| ubottu | SealedWithAKiss: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 06:10 |
| spO | does apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop remove all DESKTOP and all its apps? I want to remove desktop and all its apps | 06:11 |
| SealedWithAKiss | arleslie, such a fun sponge. | 06:12 |
| obx | Why does it take so long to resize a hd ugh. | 06:12 |
| Dr_Willis | spO: no. thats a 'meta package' removing that package will in fact.. remove.. not much of anything | 06:12 |
| donkehofdarkness | pretty sure it does | 06:12 |
| arleslie | SealedWithAKiss, I just follow rules | 06:12 |
| donkehofdarkness | =/ | 06:12 |
| obx | is it easier partioning while installing, or doing it before you install? | 06:12 |
| Dr_Willis | obx: windows can resize ntfs MUCH faster then the linux tools do. | 06:12 |
| SealedWithAKiss | arleslie, follow them or enforce them? | 06:12 |
| arleslie | SealedWithAKiss, well both | 06:12 |
| Dr_Willis | obx: like 4x+ faster. | 06:12 |
| obx | but how do you resize in windows if the hd is being used D: | 06:13 |
| Dr_Willis | obx: no idea how it works.. but it did for me :) | 06:13 |
| Dr_Willis | obx: black magic? | 06:13 |
| obx | i figured voodoo had a part of it | 06:13 |
| SealedWithAKiss | arleslie, relax. Sounds as though you need somebody to go OT in here once in a while to mix things up. Unless your aware of a toilet paper printing channel? | 06:13 |
| spO | how can i remove all of desktop related things in ubuntu? | 06:13 |
| thelostfaith | Is there the possibility of having different backgrounds for each panel? | 06:14 |
| bazhang | SealedWithAKiss, take chat elsewhere | 06:14 |
| arleslie | Dr_Willis, Windows uses DOS to format, if you want to do a full format it takes forever but it does quick formats 4x faster. I would recommend on using the ubuntu formater or gParted | 06:14 |
| Dr_Willis | arleslie: he asked about resuzing. | 06:14 |
| obx | I'm using parted to resize | 06:14 |
| obx | but it sure is taking a long time :( | 06:14 |
| arleslie | obx, gParted usally doesn't take more then 10 mintues to resize | 06:15 |
| Dr_Willis | obx: yes.. gparted reszing is a lot slower then booting to windows and lettting windows resize it. | 06:15 |
| obx | yeah this has been going on for 13 >> | 06:15 |
| Dr_Willis | obx: you are resizing a ntfs right? | 06:15 |
| obx | hmm | 06:15 |
| obx | yeah | 06:15 |
| thelostfaith | It took me about 10 minutes to partition 1tb | 06:15 |
| donkehofdarkness | it's usually better to delete ntfs | 06:15 |
| obx | am i doing it wrong D:? | 06:15 |
| arleslie | Dr_Willis, well then idk why gParted is so quick on my machine, it only took 30 minutes to create and format 3 partitions and then setting the flags | 06:15 |
| Dr_Willis | arleslie: create/formating is not the same as 'resizing' a partition and keeping the existing data | 06:16 |
| insigne | oi | 06:16 |
| arleslie | Dr_Willis, I've resized partitions also and it took less then 3 minutes | 06:17 |
| obx | my computer is just a big dumb? | 06:17 |
| insigne | 1111 | 06:17 |
| Dr_Willis | arleslie: go try resizing a 1tb partition thats 90% full... and take a nap. | 06:17 |
| Gnea | arleslie: have your ead this? http://www.nishants.net/articles/ntfsresize.htm | 06:17 |
| psi-jack | Great! | 06:17 |
| psi-jack | Ubuntu 8.04 kernel panicked, AGAIN, on installation. | 06:18 |
| Dr_Willis | its also a good idea to defrag befor resizing. | 06:18 |
| spO | how do i (force) log someone out ? besides just killing their shell | 06:18 |
| arleslie | Dr_Willis, well I usally do only resize 10% full partitions, so thats probly why | 06:18 |
| GuidMorrow | which one of these work best for burning an ISO to a CD, again? | 06:18 |
| Gnea | psi-jack: what kind of system is it? | 06:18 |
| Dr_Willis | arleslie: :) yes.. it would resize one thats 0% full even faster i bet! | 06:18 |
| Gnea | !best | 06:18 |
| 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. | 06:18 |
| Ivoz | how do i go about trying to make an eclipse 3.5 package for ubuntu to use? | 06:18 |
| Gnea | !burn | GuidMorrow | 06:18 |
| ubottu | GuidMorrow: CD/DVD Burning software: K3b (KDE), gnomebaker, brasero, serpentine, graveman, Nautilus-CD-Burner, GToaster, xcdroast (GNOME), wodim (terminal-based). Burning .iso files: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto | 06:18 |
| psi-jack | Gnea: Pentium 4 2.8 HT, 4gb DDR1 400Mhz, 6 HDD's, DVD, DVD-RW, etc. | 06:19 |
| Gnea | psi-jack: must be something weird with your hardware configuration. have you tried 8.10 or 9.04? | 06:19 |
| psi-jack | It's kernel panicking on XFS of all things. | 06:19 |
| donkehofdarkness | LOL | 06:19 |
| psi-jack | Gnea: Not yet, no. I wanted to use 8.04 specifically. | 06:19 |
| arleslie | sp0, pkill -KILL -u “username” | 06:19 |
| Gnea | psi-jack: try changing the bootline to include this: pci=routeirq | 06:19 |
| psi-jack | Gnea: Gotcha, will do. | 06:20 |
| collinm140 | i dont have volume control what do i do? | 06:20 |
| CaptainCrook | anyone having nessus taking a long long time to log in? | 06:20 |
| Gnea | collinm140: how do you know you don't have volume control? | 06:21 |
| collinm140 | it went away | 06:21 |
| obx | yeah that's right i probably should have defragged | 06:21 |
| collinm140 | Gnea: i tihnk i messed up some stuff screwing around in alsamixer | 06:21 |
| obx | would it just be easier doing this WHILE i'm installing? cause this is a bit of a bother | 06:21 |
| chanklor | anyone knows how to extract mp3 from an Audio CD? | 06:21 |
| collinm140 | Gnea:can i just revert that to original settings? | 06:22 |
| arleslie | !rip | chanklor | 06:22 |
| psi-jack | chanklor: They're not on the CD as MP3 so you can't extract mp3's from an Audio CD | 06:22 |
| ubottu | chanklor: For information about the Sound Juicer ripping application see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CDRipping. To rip an Audio CD in KDE, put it in and then put audiocd:// in the Konqueror URL bar | 06:22 |
| Dr_Willis | chanklor: you 'rip' reencode to mp3 format.. | 06:22 |
| Gnea | collinm140: there's no volume control selector on the top panel? | 06:22 |
| collinm140 | Gnea: none at all | 06:22 |
| GuidMorrow | ubottu: #ubuntu-bots has errors | 06:22 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 06:22 |
| chanklor | thanks | 06:22 |
| Gnea | collinm140: so it just disappeared? | 06:22 |
| collinm140 | Gnea:in its entireity | 06:22 |
| bazhang | collinm140, right click add to panel | 06:23 |
| Gnea | collinm140: then just right-click on the top panel, go to "add to panel" and select the volume control | 06:23 |
| collinm140 | Gnea: yes tried it it doesnt work | 06:23 |
| Gnea | collinm140: define "doesnt work" in detail, please | 06:24 |
| thelostfaith | If I've accessed a usb drive from my desktop and I want to transfer the files over to another usb drive and its telling me I don't have permissions, how can I go about setting them? | 06:24 |
| Dr_Willis | thelostfaith: what filesystem is on the drives? | 06:24 |
| thelostfaith | One is fat, other is ext3 | 06:24 |
| === ripps_ is now known as ripps | ||
| Dr_Willis | thelostfaith: for ext3 you MUST set proper permissions/ownership with chmode and chown | 06:24 |
| thelostfaith | duh | 06:25 |
| * thelostfaith facepalms | 06:25 | |
| collinm140 | Gnea: when i click add under volume control (depracated) nothing happens at all, and when i go into system -> preferences -> sound it says waiting for sound system to respond | 06:25 |
| collinm140 | and nothing happens | 06:25 |
| Gnea | collinm140: and the same thing happens when you reboot? | 06:25 |
| collinm140 | Gnea: yes | 06:25 |
| Gnea | collinm140: any results from the following command in a terminal? cat /proc/asound/cards | 06:26 |
| collinm140 | Gnea: no such directory | 06:27 |
| Gnea | collinm140: okay, are you familiar with pastebin? | 06:28 |
| Dr_Willis | thelostfaith: :) at least you were not trying to chown/chmod files on a ntfs filesystem. :) | 06:28 |
| collinm140 | Gnea: no | 06:28 |

| thelostfaith | I know enough about file systems, been developing over them for years. | 06:28 |
| Dr_Willis | thelostfaith: ok. :) | 06:28 |
| thelostfaith | Just finally got around to actually full-timing a linux system | 06:28 |
| Dr_Willis | thelostfaith: you just overlooked it.. heh. | 06:28 |
| Gnea | collinm140: I suggest installing pastebinit before we continue | 06:29 |
| collinm140 | Gnea: one minute | 06:29 |
| thelostfaith | I'm so used to all my drives being of some windows format | 06:29 |
| Dr_Willis | thelostfaith: if you move that usb drive to another linux box.. the ownerships may be wrong also. | 06:29 |
| Gnea | collinm140: sure thing | 06:29 |
| thelostfaith | Well, I have to lock my stuff up daily, so I'm sure I'll have to chmod them daily tbh | 06:29 |
| obx | aurgh this is still going :( | 06:30 |

| Dr_Willis | thelostfaith: if you are plugging it into the same machine every day.. proberly not. | 06:30 |
| Gnea | collinm140: okay. could you please pastebin the output of the following commands: lspci and dmesg | 06:30 |
| thelostfaith | Dr_Willis, I'm really hoping on that | 06:30 |
| arleslie | obx, I recommend taking a nap then | 06:31 |
| thelostfaith | But I've ran into some bogus issues lately with this laptop and ubuntu | 06:31 |
| Dr_Willis | thelostfaith: unless the admins some how reorder teh uid's for the users. | 06:31 |

| Dr_Willis | GuidMorrow: you can do SSH or any other sort of networking over wireless that you do over wired..normally | 06:37 |
| Gnea | collinm140: okay. the dmesg command outputs the kernel messages. it basically tells you what's up with your system. one thing it pointed out was that you put the system to sleep and then woke it back up. it's possible that your sound did not recover. | 06:37 |
| kiran_ | WIRED | 06:37 |

| Dr_Willis | apoloeo12: #1 thing people overloook is that grub counts fro 0, and linux starts counting from 1 | 06:58 |

| Dr_Willis | apoloeo12: #2 thing is that the hd# can change depending onwhat drive you are booting. | 06:59 |
| apoloeo12 | Dr_Will: I already understood that... tricky at first untill it come to my sense ;) | 06:59 |
| Deftone07 | i know how to install it and stuff...just not sure what driver is the correct one | 06:59 |

| OsoPolaroid | all I need is an experienced Linux user to explain how to use a "patch" (more likely some amount of code) which I found in a forum to solve my audio problem | 06:59 |
| arleslie | Deftone07, if ubuntu didn't install a default one, I suggest using madWifi | 06:59 |
| Dr_Willis | apoloeo12: if you have a exteranl usb drive and tell bios to boot from it.. it becomes 'hd0' the internal drives would then be hd1 and so on... | 07:00 |
| Deftone07 | I have an HP Pavillion dv4-1435dx | 07:00 |

| Dr_Willis | apoloeo12: that tells grub to install teh boot foles onto hd1, it still looks in /boot/ for the files.. if you dont have /boot/properfiles then it cant copy them over. | 07:12 |
| Seventoes | I installed the NVidia drivers from the hardware manager, and when i rebooted i have my desktop tiled 6 times on my screen and a teeeeny resolutoin :( | 07:12 |

| Dr_Willis | !ru | 07:29 |
| ubottu | Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke | 07:29 |
| apoloeo12 | Dr_willis: anyway, the command you just gave me.. will that put it on the first harddrive??? whereas no OS resides on the first one? Others are on second and third? | 07:29 |
| inhotteb | i can and an english ) | 07:29 |

| Ky|e | used to work fine | 07:30 |
| Ky|e | lappy onboard wireless | 07:30 |
| Dr_Willis | apoloeo12: it installs grub to the bootloader on the first hard drive. it dosent matter if theres an OS on it or not. | 07:30 |
| SubbyWolfy | hello | 07:30 |
| apoloeo12 | dr_W: even sdb then? no? | 07:30 |
| Dr_Willis | it installs it to the MBR of whatever drive you tell it to. | 07:30 |
| Dr_Willis | install it to all the drives.. :) | 07:31 |
| apoloeo12 | Ok i jus dont wanna mess up heh | 07:31 |
| mralexandro | is there any stable dock for ubuntu 9.04. i tried cairo dock but did not work very well, unstable | 07:31 |
| Dr_Willis | mralexandro: gnome-do has a dock like theme+shelf feature. | 07:31 |
| apoloeo12 | just curious: the bootloader is a file? or it only writes on the first sector? | 07:31 |
| Pseudo_Bob | Hey, I'm on my mom's laptop, which I installed Ubuntu on for when I use it. She's running low on disk space for Windows, though, so what I'd like to do is either get rid of Ubuntu or if possible move more space onto the Windows partition | 07:32 |
| mralexandro | Dr_Willis: i am sorry i do not understand, is gnome do a software of some kind then? | 07:32 |
| Dr_Willis | !info gnome-do | 07:32 |
| ubottu | gnome-do (source: gnome-do): Quickly perform actions on your desktop. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.8.1.3-0ubuntu2 (jaunty), package size 410 kB, installed size 1976 kB | 07:32 |
| gst-kaps | Dr_Willis:my mbr seems to be screwed, i get grub loading error 22 | 07:33 |
| Pseudo_Bob | I have GParted open right now, but I'm being assured I could cause some kind of mass destruction so I figured I should get some help. | 07:33 |
| apoloeo12 | dr_willis: just curious: the bootloader is a file? or it only writes on the first sector? | 07:33 |
| Dr_Willis | once you get your gnome-do fu skills going you dont need no dock. :) | 07:33 |
| Dr_Willis | apoloeo12: grub tools install a proper bootloader to the master bootrecord of the drive. | 07:33 |
| apoloeo12 | OK | 07:33 |
| Pseudo_Bob | What exactly does unmounting a partition do? | 07:33 |
| Dr_Willis | Pseudo_Bob: disconnectes it from the filesystem 'tree' | 07:34 |
| RDove | when i do a | grep -i .com, it matches just the com part... is there a way to make it match ".com" with the . | 07:34 |
| Dr_Willis | Pseudo_Bob: :) | 07:34 |
| Dr_Willis | Pseudo_Bob: makes it where its not accessable from the system normally | 07:34 |
| gst-kaps | Dr_Willis:the grub restore on forums is not working for me | 07:34 |
| apoloeo12 | dr_willis: | 07:34 |
| apoloeo12 | root@ubuntu:/home/ubuntu# sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/root /dev/sdb | 07:34 |
| apoloeo12 | mkdir: cannot create directory `/media/root/boot': No such file or directory | 07:34 |
| Seventoes | I installed the latest NVidia drivers for my GeForce GT 130M but when I boot up I get 6 of the same 640x480 screens mirrored on my one laptop display :-/ | 07:34 |
| Dr_Willis | gst-kaps: some times - it pays to just go read grub docs and learn how it works.. Its hard to remote admin it. | 07:34 |
| Pseudo_Bob | dr_willis: Hm. If I unmount the one with Ubuntu installed will that cause the computer to explode if I'm using Ubuntu on it right now? | 07:35 |
| Dr_Willis | apoloeo12: now.. IS your installed system mounted to /media/root ? I am guessing Not. | 07:35 |
| apoloeo12 | oh holdo n | 07:35 |
| Schmitty | exit | 07:35 |
| SubbyWolfy8 | -looks around- anyone wana chat? ^^ | 07:35 |
| savanny1976u | apoloeo12, go to bios and boot from different drive, had the same problem before, you exceeded your cylinders limit by having 3 hard drive, your grub is confused can not see all of them or is confused were to start, so it gives an error message. | 07:35 |

| inhotteb | Hello. How can I watch DVD from folder on my HDD? | 07:37 |

| Pseudo_Bob | Crap. | 07:41 |
| laloin | sorry doc, used to dealing with bots | 07:41 |

| gst-kaps | Dr_Willis:I want to reinstall linux, but not able to , as gparted gets hanged while scanning devices, so I thought I should try to reboot in windows, but my grub gives me error 22 ? | 07:42 |
| Dr_Willis | kiran_: delete the linux partitions.. reinstall the windows bootloader.. reformat the deleted partitions. | 07:42 |
| Dr_Willis | gst-kaps: you removed the bootloader files.. grub is now broken. | 07:42 |
| savanny1976u | Sorry, I was confused | 07:42 |
| laloin | you should get paid for this doc :) | 07:42 |
| Gnea | np | 07:42 |
| kiran_ | when i am going to format that drive on windows boot loader it shows error message | 07:42 |
| Dr_Willis | laloin: i get a lot of 'dirty looks' does that count? | 07:42 |
| gst-kaps | Dr_Willis: ooops, how do I fix it please ? | 07:42 |
| laloin | hahahhahahahah doc :) | 07:42 |
| Gnea | kiran_: why do you want to remove ubuntu? | 07:43 |
| gOLdenHaWK3D | kiran_: what kind of error msg? | 07:43 |
| laloin | I get lots of funny looks when I'm reading up on unbuntu | 07:43 |
| Dr_Willis | gst-kaps: not sure.. gparted hanging is. weird.. try booting a gparted live cd. and use that to delete the partitions.. then reboot the ubuntu installer disk and reinstall. | 07:43 |
| laloin | people ask me, you mean there is something else besides windows | 07:43 |
| kiran_ | windows cannot remove the partition bcoz its used by the other operating system | 07:43 |
| Pseudo_Bob | What Windows programs can I get that will work like Gparted to reformat my Ubuntu partition? | 07:43 |
| Dr_Willis | windows has no clue what to do with a ext2/3 filesstem. but the windows tools should be able to delete it. | 07:44 |
| Ghoti | Pseudo_Bob: there's PartitionMagic, but it's not free. | 07:44 |
| Gnea | Pseudo_Bob: that question is better asked in ##windows | 07:44 |
| Pseudo_Bob | Right, sorry | 07:44 |
| Dr_Willis | I just use gparted live cd's all the time. | 07:44 |
| richardcavell | Pseudo_Bob: you don't need to use Windows. | 07:44 |
| Gnea | !gparted | 07:44 |
| ubottu | gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php | 07:44 |
| kiran_ | suggest me that tools that allow me to delete the ext3 partitions | 07:44 |
| Dr_Willis | several are repair/restore disks at disrtowatch.com | 07:44 |
| gOLdenHaWK3D | kiran_: you can use ubuntu live cd to do that. | 07:45 |
| Dr_Willis | kiran_: try one of those live cds like the parted magic one, | 07:45 |
| kiran_ | ya iam tried but not works | 07:45 |
| Ghoti | kiran_: in Linux, fdisk. In Windows, Disk Mangler^H^H^H^Hager | 07:45 |
| laloin | well the ubuntu live cd is sitting in front of me, calling me | 07:45 |
| Gnea | kiran_: the livecd will do it, then boot into windows after to reclaim it | 07:45 |
| Dr_Willis | kiran_: its how its done.. or use the linux 'fdisk' command from a live cd. i guess. | 07:45 |
| Dr_Willis | Gnea: he cant boot into windows.. grub is broken | 07:45 |
| kiran_ | ya | 07:46 |
| Gnea | which is why i asked why you wanted to remove ubuntu and you never answered | 07:46 |
| Dr_Willis | partedMagic or the 'system rescue live cd' both have tools to restore the windows mbr i think. | 07:46 |
| laloin | nighters | 07:46 |
| Pseudo_Bob | richardcavell: Well, I think I do only because I want to reformat the partition I'm currently on. | 07:46 |
| kiran_ | bcoz i wanna migrate to linux mint | 07:46 |
| Dr_Willis | people seem to think they have to 'delete' uubuntu to reinstall it.. the installer can just reformat the partitions. | 07:46 |
| Dr_Willis | kiran_: you are better off not using Mint. | 07:46 |
| gOLdenHaWK3D | kiran_: use ubuntu live cd if u cannot boot to windows. then use gparted. install it from the internet first. | 07:47 |
| Pseudo_Bob | It's amazing how many people on here are trying to get rid of Ubuntu all the time. | 07:47 |
| Dr_Willis | kiran_: there was no need to 'delete' ubuntu to do that eitehr. | 07:47 |
| Gnea | kiran_: why not just pop the mint cd in the drive and install over ubuntu? | 07:47 |
| Dr_Willis | Pseudo_Bob: actually i dont see that many... | 07:47 |
| richardcavell | Pseudo_Bob: boot to a live CD | 07:47 |
| arleslie | is there anyway to do a remote ubuntu install, I have a friend who sells VPSs and at the moment he has to manuly install linux him self, is there a way he can do it remotely? | 07:47 |
| apoloeo12 | dr_w: I seem to be returning a help menu after I tyoped this command: sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/disk type ext3 /dev/sdb | 07:47 |
| kiran_ | can i browse windows ntfs drives through the linux mint | 07:47 |
| Pseudo_Bob | richardcavell: Ugh. Didn't think of that. Thanks much. | 07:47 |
| Ghoti | arleslie: many VPS companies offer Ubuntu images to create the containers with. | 07:48 |
| gOLdenHaWK3D | kiran_: dont know about linux mint, but from ubuntu live cd you can. | 07:48 |
| Gnea | !netboot | arleslie | 07:48 |
| ubottu | arleslie: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install?

Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate | 07:48 |
| arleslie | Ghoti, he runs the VPS company himself | 07:48 |
| kiran_ | can you suggest me that which versions can support the access of the windows drives | 07:49 |
| Dr_Willis | kiran_: yes.. most all linux live cds can access ntfs drives | 07:49 |
| Dr_Willis | kiran_: theres very few linux disrtos that CANT these days.. its a common feature | 07:49 |
| Ghoti | kiran_: all current Linux distributions can handle NTFS drives. | 07:49 |
| kiran_ | i wanna migrate to it so i can access as long as | 07:49 |
| Ghoti | (Hardware permitting) | 07:49 |
| Dr_Willis | apoloeo12: 'think' :) it wants JUST the path.. you are giving it all the extra data from that mount command thats not what it wanted.. it wants just --root-directory=/media/disk | 07:50 |
| Ghoti | arleslie: Boot a VM with the Ubuntu Server ISO, install, set up a base image, and use that to create new Ubuntu VPSs with. | 07:50 |
| Dr_Willis | apoloeo12: its just wanting the path to the files to use. | 07:50 |
| mralexandro | Dr_Willis: how do i access gnome do settings? | 07:50 |
| jeeez | hi. i have right click and icons disabled on my desktop, how do i enable them?? | 07:51 |
| Dr_Willis | mralexandro: when ya window-space theres a button /menu | 07:51 |
| Dr_Willis | mralexandro: top right corner.. a little arrow.. | 07:51 |
| mralexandro | Dr_Willis: yes i saw it, but gnome closed when i started moving in applications, i found the switch to set it as a dock even, but know it is gone | 07:51 |
| Dr_Willis | mralexandro: theres also a setting to have it always show up a systray icon | 07:51 |
| mralexandro | Dr_Willis: yes but i can not access the settings know cause i can not find it:( | 07:52 |
| Dr_Willis | mralexandro: i enabled that. the win-space arrow works here if i just win-space then use the mouse | 07:52 |
| Dr_Willis | mralexandro: so you are saying win-space dont work any more? | 07:52 |
| mralexandro | Dr_Willis: yes that is correct | 07:52 |
| mralexandro | it did but now it doesnt | 07:52 |
| Dr_Willis | mralexandro: perhaps gnome-do crashed... rerun the app | 07:52 |
| mralexandro | i did in terminal, but when i close terminal gnome close too | 07:53 |
| mralexandro | Dr_Willis: any other way of re launching it? | 07:53 |
| gOLdenHaWK3D | kiran_: use the latest ubuntu. | 07:53 |
| Dr_Willis | mralexandro: PROPER way to close the terminal.. 'gnome-do &' then use the 'exit' command.. NOT the close button at the top right. | 07:53 |
| gOLdenHaWK3D | kiran_: ubuntu 9.04 | 07:53 |
| Dr_Willis | mralexandro: or alt-f2 -> gnome-do | 07:53 |
| Dr_Willis | mralexandro: or use gnome-do icon in the menus | 07:53 |
| kiran_ | i wanna migrate from ubuntu | 07:53 |
| gOLdenHaWK3D | kiran_: from ubuntu to which operating system? | 07:54 |
| Dr_Willis | mralexandro: accessories -> gnome do | 07:54 |

| apoloeo12 | dr_will: yeah I just realized that.... *looks at time* 3:10... heh | 07:54 |

| mralexandro | Dr_Willis: i will reinstall it i think | 07:54 |
| Dr_Willis | mralexandro: that is 'windows' thinking. and proberly wont change anything | 07:55 |
| Dr_Willis | mralexandro: reinstalling an app will NOT reset the users settings | 07:55 |
| gOLdenHaWK3D | bye guys! :D | 07:55 |
| godmodegrafix | im dual booting ubuntu and windows xp.. i mounted windows so that i can access the files, however i cant play the songs that i have on windows on the itunes folder, through ubuntu's rythm box. What do i do? | 07:55 |
| mralexandro | Dr_Willis: oh ok, yeah i am usualy a windows user:/ | 07:55 |
| mralexandro | Dr_Willis: is there any other way for me to acces the gnome-do settings? | 07:56 |
| kiran_ | i wanna get more advanced desktop effects | 07:56 |
| Dr_Willis | mralexandro: proberly is.. but i would have to read up at the gnome-do homepage to figure it out | 07:56 |
| mralexandro | Dr_Willis: oh ok i see | 07:57 |
| Dr_Willis | mralexandro: when ya win-space do you see a systry icon for gnome-do? a purple square with a snowflake in it. | 07:57 |
| Ghoti | !ccsm | kiran_ | 07:57 |
| ubottu | kiran_: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz | 07:57 |
| aaron11 | Dr_Willis: Do you know how to switch btween splash screens | 07:57 |
| Ghoti | aaron11: sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so | 07:57 |
| mralexandro | Dr_Willis: i have already changed theme to docked, so nope it is already there, i can search in it when i press windows space | 07:57 |
| majnoon | Advances are made by answering questions. Discoveries are made by questioning answers. | 07:57 |
| majnoon | — Bernard Haisch | 07:57 |
| aaron11 | what will that do | 07:58 |
| kiran_ | why all the gnome themes are not supported | 07:58 |
| Dr_Willis | mralexandro: if using'docked' i though there was an ICOn in the dock to get to the settings. | 07:58 |
| Ghoti | aaron11: that will allow you to select between your installed spash screens | 07:58 |
| psi-jack | But, so far, the installation stuff is STILL pretty effing slow for Ubuntu. | 07:58 |
| bucky | google can help a lot | 07:58 |
| Dr_Willis | mralexandro: you may needed to enable the shelf plugin also | 07:58 |
| mralexandro | Dr_Willis: hmm i can not seem to find that one, and the shelf plugin i have a hard time enabling without prefrenses or settings | 07:59 |
| Dr_Willis | http://do.davebsd.com/wiki/index.php?title=Using_Do | 07:59 |
| aaron11 | Ghoti: its asking for numbers | 07:59 |
| apoloeo12 | Dr_wil: did you get my msg? | 08:00 |

| aaron11 | Ghoti: thanks | 08:01 |
| aaron11 | lol i know | 08:01 |
| Ivoz | silv3r_m00n: sure, I'm not sure if they're on there by default, but should be easy to put them on if not | 08:01 |
| Ghoti | aaron11: my pleasure! :) | 08:01 |

| silv3r_m00n | aaron11: like ? | 08:03 |
| aaron11 | silv3r: silver | 08:03 |
| psi-jack | What in the effing world would cause the Ubuntu installer to load slowly, pass between dialog to dialog slowly, and mind you 100% text mode in the Alternate Install Disc... It's driving me absolutely nuts, cause on my Pentium 3 733, it was fast as heck, but on my P4 2.8 HT with 3gb RAM, it's running slow as molasses. | 08:03 |
| mralexandro | Dr_Willis: i found the do preferences, now i activated the shelf plugin, what exactly will it do | 08:04 |
| jeeez | hi. i have right click and icons disabled on my desktop, how do i enable them?? | 08:04 |
| Ghoti | psi-jack: run top an another terminal to see if there's something dogging down the system perhaps? | 08:04 |
| user01 | Hi everyone! Is there a list, containing the Semantic Web supporting companies somewhere? Or would I have to compile it myself from the active working groups pages? | 08:04 |
| kiran_ | anyone read me | 08:04 |
| godmodegrafix | need help you guys :( | 08:04 |
| psi-jack | Ghoti: DURING install? before even the kernel finishes loading? | 08:04 |
| godmodegrafix | drunk and high and need to listen to music | 08:04 |
| bucky | psi-jack: type top and see what's eating up your resources | 08:05 |
| user01 | kiran_, YES | 08:05 |
| godmodegrafix | please dont let me boot windows :( | 08:05 |
| psi-jack | bucky: Maybe you didn't read anything I said? | 08:05 |
| kiran_ | user01 | 08:05 |
| bucky | psi-jack: maybe not | 08:05 |
| kiran_ | user01 noname | 08:05 |
| Ghoti | psi-jack: if you're in the installer, you should be able to hit alt-F2 and get another terminal, from which you can run top | 08:05 |
| kiran_ | hello user01 | 08:05 |
| user01 | kiran_, what do you mean, noname? | 08:06 |
| jeeez | hi. i have right click and icons disabled on my desktop, how do i enable them?? anyone?? | 08:06 |
| kiran_ | nothing | 08:06 |
| psi-jack | Ghoti: Yeah, umm... During install, nothing but the installer itself is running for the most part. | 08:06 |
| Dr_Willis | mralexandro: dosent seem to do what i thought it did. i though it controlled what was on teh doc.. You found the purple icon on the docky bar Im guessing? | 08:06 |
| kiran_ | sorry | 08:06 |
| bucky | kiran_: install some themes from the repos if you don't like them go find some others on gnome look | 08:06 |
| Dr_Willis | mralexandro: thers also some way to type 'do-perferances' or somthingto get to the settings but i cant figure that out | 08:06 |
| Ghoti | psi-jack: that's why I suggested the other virtual terminals, accessable through alt-F1 through F6 | 08:06 |
| kiran_ | ok | 08:06 |
| bucky | kiran_: themes should be a drag and drop affair in System->Preferences if you dl one from the internet | 08:07 |
| mralexandro | Dr_Willis: no i had to space windows then type preferences, the only way i can access the preferenses, the dock will have a lot of random icons on it, to bad the shelf plugin does not let you put what you want in it | 08:07 |
| psi-jack | Ghoti: Yeah, been using Linux since pre 1.0.0, dude. *chuckles* Ubuntu's installer is the only installer that goes this slow.. OpenSUSE's was blazing fast. FreeBSD's, done in minutes total install, etc. | 08:07 |
| bucky | Ghoti: ctl-alt F# | 08:07 |
| aaron11 | if some1 needs help with themes then go to the link provided : http://www.gnome-look.org/ (this link was hand writen | 08:08 |
| bucky | psi-jack: if you | 08:08 |
| bucky | psi-jack: if you | 08:08 |
| Dr_Willis | mralexandro: not sure what it does really - the doc for shelf are a little vague | 08:08 |
| z3ro3x | When you click on the Search button in Nautilus you're supposed to get more options in the window just above the files and folders. Well I'm not getting those options. Why would that be? | 08:08 |
| Dr_Willis | mralexandro: http://do.davebsd.com/wiki/Docky | 08:08 |
| aaron11 | bucky:dont repeat | 08:08 |
| apoloeo12 | dr_willis: did ya catch the url? | 08:08 |
| psi-jack | heh | 08:08 |
| mralexandro | Dr_Willis: thanks | 08:08 |
| bucky | psi-jack: if you've been using linux for twenty years then you know how to get into a console and run top | 08:08 |
| Ghoti | bucky: play nice :) | 08:09 |
| psi-jack | bucky: No.. Reaaally? D'uh.. :p | 08:09 |
| Dr_Willis | apoloeo12: aha. ya got to type "perferances' properly. i was trying 'Do Perferances' | 08:09 |
| bucky | psi-jack: what are you installing to some crappy usb drive? | 08:09 |
| psi-jack | bucky, Ghoti: See the funny thing is, DURING install, when you activate a terminal on tty2, you get BusyBox, which has no top. | 08:09 |
| apoloeo12 | sorry I dont understand | 08:09 |
| psi-jack | bucky: No, DVD-ROM drive. | 08:09 |
| Kolimbo | how do i bring up the console, if i am in a game for example? | 08:09 |
| bucky | psi-jack: and what's your internet connection... wireless? | 08:09 |
| Dr_Willis | mralexandro: it also rembers/learns what you launch so it puts them first in the list | 08:09 |
| Ghoti | psi-jack: Interesting, and, were I in your shoes, mildly annoying. | 08:10 |
| psi-jack | bucky: No, wired. | 08:10 |
| bucky | psi-jack: you're installing to a DVD disk? | 08:10 |
| psi-jack | bucky: FROM a CDROM via a DVD-ROM drive. | 08:10 |
| Ghoti | Kolimbo: depends on to which console you refer, and which game if you are refering to a game's console | 08:10 |
| bucky | psi-jack: cause you were in here before asking about how long it should take to format a drive | 08:10 |
| psi-jack | bucky: Umm. No. I wasn't. | 08:10 |
| psi-jack | bucky: Since I never use the badblocks, formatting generally takes seconds. | 08:11 |
| bucky | psi-jack: so what does top say? | 08:11 |
| psi-jack | bucky: Did you not read what I said, AGAIN? | 08:12 |
| bucky | psi-jack: so what does top say? | 08:12 |
| psi-jack | Obviously not. | 08:12 |
| bucky | psi-jack: do you want help or do you want to wine | 08:12 |
| Ghoti | bucky: please a> pay attention, and b> kindly stop repeating yourself. | 08:12 |
| bucky | #whine | 08:12 |
| psi-jack | bucky: BusyBox doesn't have top! | 08:12 |
| Gnea | bucky: enough. | 08:13 |
| bucky | Gnea: he's been using linux since version 1.01 | 08:13 |
| bucky | i can tell | 08:13 |
| psi-jack | bucky: Pre 1.0.0, actually, thank you very much. | 08:13 |
| Gnea | psi-jack: if you want to know how long it takes to format your drive, just run it like this: time mkfs.yada /dev/something | 08:13 |
| mralexandro | Dr_Willis: that is quite interesting, so it actually lets you place icons there and it also detects most used in some sort of way? | 08:13 |
| Ghoti | psi-jack: the only thing I can think of off the top of my head, absent any data, is that for some reason your IDE channel is klobbering the CPU. | 08:13 |
| user101 | Is there any way given any package I can build it statically which will statically include things like libc.so and so on? | 08:13 |
| Gnea | bucky: doesn't matter, your behavior is unacceptable here. | 08:14 |
| Dr_Willis | mralexandro: top 5 get added.. and you an drag/drop to/from it.. | 08:14 |
| psi-jack | Gnea: Umm... Dude.. I don't care how long it takes. LOL. I never asked that, though bucky seems to be filling everything up with nonsense. | 08:14 |
| Dr_Willis | mralexandro: it seems tobe a better 'dock' then many others ive tried | 08:14 |
| Gnea | psi-jack: ah, okay | 08:14 |
| Ghoti | bucky, psi-jack: No need to get into a [bleep]ing contest.. play nive, guys :) | 08:14 |
| Ghoti | and also nice. | 08:14 |
| psi-jack | nive eh? Is that akin to knives? :D | 08:14 |
| Ghoti | psi-jack: only in #swordplay :) | 08:15 |
| psi-jack | Heh | 08:15 |
| mralexandro | Dr_Willis: you can have more than five, just resize docky and it will oopen for many many more | 08:15 |
| gartral | !ot | psi-jack Ghoti stop playing with nives | 08:15 |
| ubottu | psi-jack Ghoti stop playing with nives: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 08:15 |
| psi-jack | bucky: No, what /I/ was here asking earlier, was about Networking hardware for gigabit support for onboard NIC's like the nForce2 10/100/1000 and the 3c940 Marvell 10/100/1000, not that guy that was asking how long it too to format a 512gb hdd or whatever size it was. | 08:15 |
| Gnea | psi-jack: I see you were inquiring, albiet inefficiently, about the ubuntu installer | 08:16 |
| ramkumar_ | hai | 08:16 |
| psi-jack | Gnea: Correct. | 08:16 |
| bucky | psi-jack: go back to LFS like pre 1.0 | 08:16 |
| Dr_Willis | mralexandro: i got a wide desktop.. i can have lots.. :P | 08:16 |
| jkessler | this is too leet | 08:16 |
| Gnea | psi-jack: just FYI, we consider any 'bleeping' of a bad word to be the use of a bad word, since people know what you're saying. such language should be avoided here. | 08:16 |
| Ghoti | bucky: Seriously. Please, try to be constructive. | 08:16 |
| psi-jack | Gnea: Only on this one system, so far, does the Ubuntu installer run painfully slow.. So slow with the fbcons mode for text mode, it was so slow just drawing the screen. I had to use the boot option to stop fbcons from being used. | 08:16 |
| gogeta | lol | 08:16 |
| Gnea | psi-jack: what cpu/mem? | 08:17 |
| Ghoti | Gnea: that was me who bleeped. :p | 08:17 |
| bucky | psi-jack: use the text mode... like linux is supposed to be | 08:17 |
| Gnea | Ghoti: heh, if you scrollback to psi-jack's original question, you'll see what I mean :) | 08:17 |
| gogeta | lol | 08:17 |
| bazhang | gogeta, ?? | 08:17 |
| xray7224 | hey guys | 08:17 |
| Gnea | hey xray7224 | 08:17 |
| Ghoti | Gnea: fair enough :) | 08:18 |
| ramkumar_ | how i auto mount the partitions in my ubuntu... | 08:18 |
| psi-jack | Gnea: Pentium 4 2.8Ghz HT, 3gb DDR1 400MHz memory, running single-channel for now cause I found one of the 4 sticks were bad, 6 HDD's, DVD-ROM, DVD-RW, USB-based MMC/SD/MS/CF/SM drive, etc | 08:18 |
| Ghoti | ramkumar_: see 'man mount' | 08:18 |
| Gnea | !fstab | ramkumar_ | 08:18 |
| ubottu | ramkumar_: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 08:18 |
| mralexandro | Dr_Willis: i think this gnome do will be very very useful and that you gave me a more complete solutin than just a dock, hope it does not steel to much performance | 08:18 |
| bening | how can I change ubuntu 8.04 to ubuntu 9.04. | 08:18 |
| gogeta | bazhang: im half asleep | 08:18 |
| bazhang | gogeta, please chat elsewhere | 08:18 |
| Ghoti | bening: you need to upgrade to 8.10 first, and then from 8.10 to 9.04 | 08:18 |
| StraightDave | hi guys, anyway to make mouse cursor move, ina remote ssh environment ? | 08:18 |
| silv3r_m00n | hi there | 08:18 |
| * xray7224 <3 fstab :P | 08:18 | |
| ramkumar_ | ya i seen but it is mount only in root not in normal user.. | 08:18 |
| silv3r_m00n | this ubuntu netbook remix is a .img file... how do I install it in my netbook ? | 08:19 |
| gogeta | bazhang: you ask and i havent even spoke yet | 08:19 |
| Dr_Willis | mralexandro: compared to the total Poopoo i see in other 'docks' its at least useable. :) | 08:19 |
| Ivoz | The change password dialog just stays busy in ubuntu 9.04 when I change it. Does it take a really long time to do or something? | 08:19 |
| Dr_Willis | silv3r_m00n: you 'dd' it to a usb flash drive.. | 08:19 |
| psi-jack | Gnea: Keeping in mind, OpenSUSE, FreeBSD, even Fedora's installer, was blazing fast, it's just Ubuntu's that's running slow as molasses. | 08:19 |
| bazhang | silv3r_m00n, there is an imagewriter deb you can download | 08:19 |
| Dr_Willis | silv3r_m00n: i think the unr download page gives details on how to do it in windows and linux | 08:19 |
| gogeta | bazhang: other the laughing at those 2 fight | 08:19 |
| acro-asarva_ | what does this do? | 08:19 |
| Gnea | psi-jack: so, pretty decent. hrm. the installer isn't exactly optimized for any specific system, so different systems, despite newer specs, can sometimes respond slow during the installation phase, especially if the hardware itself isn't configured to the kernel right - ever tried doing a pci=routeirq? | 08:19 |
| acro-asarva_ | :(){ :|:& };: | 08:19 |
| Ghoti | !danger | 08:19 |
| ubottu | DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Do not use the command or utter it here thank you! | 08:19 |
| Gnea | psi-jack: and that's just on the one system? | 08:20 |
| ramkumar_ | if i delete the image initrd.img then how i boot my ubuntu/fedora? | 08:20 |
| mralexandro | Dr_Willis: agreed, problem solved, thousand thanks, times to move on to my next one, thanks alot!:D | 08:20 |
| acro-asarva_ | :(){ :|:& };: | 08:20 |
| acro-asarva_ | ? | 08:20 |
| apoloeo12 | what command??? | 08:20 |
| Dr_Willis | mralexandro: somehow the gnomedo perferances ion got added to the dock now. :) | 08:20 |
| psi-jack | Gnea: Yes, so far.. Though admittedly this is the only system yet I've done 8.04.3 on. I did install eBox 1.2, which is based on Ubuntu 8.04.2, on a Pentium 3 733 with 256mb RAM, and it was done before my system even got to the Partition Manager! | 08:20 |
| gogeta | Ghoti: what dd thats not dangres | 08:20 |
| mralexandro | Dr_Willis: i have it there because it is my most used one:D | 08:20 |
| Dr_Willis | acro-asarva_: does an infinate loop.. google for it to learn more. | 08:20 |
| Dr_Willis | mralexandro: becuase its the most used recently i guess. :) | 08:21 |
| Ghoti | gogeta: no, acro-asarva_ is the one that invoked the !danger | 08:21 |
| Gnea | psi-jack: interesting. 8.04, while is it the LTS release, is still considered a bit of a dinosaur to newer hardware. have you tried 9.04? | 08:21 |
| Dr_Willis | just to make it clear 'dd' CAN be dangerous..if you make a typo... | 08:21 |
| Ghoti | acro-asarva_: that's a fork bomb; do not run that command. | 08:21 |
| ramkumar_ | you see about that command in http://linuxmonk.org | 08:21 |
| xray7224 | i have got to admit i have no idea what the thing he/she does | 08:21 |
| gogeta | acro-asarva_: issuing dd for image file is fine | 08:21 |
| Dr_Willis | make SURE you dd to the proper usb device.. :) | 08:21 |
| mralexandro | Dr_Willis: and i found that you can right click the gnome-do icon and see prefrenses for the gnome do program, pluss some quick settings | 08:21 |
| Dr_Willis | mralexandro: yes. :) i was goingto mention that.. but you said you found the perferances allready | 08:22 |
| psi-jack | Gnea: No, not yet. I wanted 8.04 because of the stability, quote-unquote. And because I wanted to be able to fully try out a full-scale eBox setup. I have 9.04-server installed on my router box, and two database server computers. | 08:22 |
| Ghoti | (I was not saying 'dd' is !danger-ous, though like any command, it can be used to ill effect (: ) | 08:22 |
| Gnea | Ghoti: that person was purporting destructive commands earlier | 08:22 |
| ramkumar_ | hi friends plz reply for this If i delete the image initrd.img then hoe i boot my ubunt? | 08:22 |
| mralexandro | Dr_Willis: i think i figured the shelf function: right click an app there, and you will see it says add to shelf! | 08:22 |
| Dr_Willis | mralexandro: yes.. but what is a shelf then? | 08:23 |
| Dr_Willis | mralexandro: thats what i never noticed in the docs | 08:23 |
| Gnea | psi-jack: okay. so is this geared toward a work computer or a personal one? | 08:23 |
| gogeta | Gnea: Dr_Willis would not issue a destructiv command | 08:23 |
| Gnea | gogeta: no, acro-asarva_ | 08:23 |
| Dr_Willis | gogeta: with dd - all it takes is a typo.. :) | 08:23 |
| Dr_Willis | gogeta: and i learned that the hard way. :) | 08:23 |
| Ghoti | Dr_Willis: or with mv, or cp, or rm, or many other two character commands :) | 08:24 |
| mralexandro | Dr_Willis: i think it is a function that let you bypass most used value and let the app stay untouched in its possition, disregarding the fact that it is used less than top apps | 08:24 |
| gogeta | Dr_Willis: usefull if its a .img otherwise use cp or mv | 08:24 |
| psi-jack | Gnea: It's geared towards a large home network of computers. I have a server farm here I'm putting together, and a audio/video streaming farm, comprised of about 20 computers in total. | 08:24 |
| Ivoz | Would anyone mind seeing if in ubuntu 9.04 System > Preferences > About Me > Change Password dialog works? It just goes busy and does nothing... the user accounts tool works though. | 08:24 |
| psi-jack | Gnea: I installed 9.04-server on the other few systems, before I heard about eBox. ;)\ | 08:24 |
| Gnea | psi-jack: so it's a personal system. I would go ahead and recommend 9.04-desktop | 08:24 |
| Ghoti | Ivoz: it worked just fine over here | 08:25 |
| Ivoz | ghoti - weird.. im on a very new install of ubuntu, the thing just hangs but the user and groups dialog worked! | 08:25 |
| Ivoz | Ghoti: thanks | 08:25 |
| gnr | ramkumar_:have you deleted it and rebooted? | 08:25 |
| mralexandro | doeas anyone know if there is a way i can create a "shortcut"(yes i am an earlier windows user) to mount the windows partition with pasword already typed | 08:25 |
| Ghoti | Ivoz: happy to help | 08:25 |
| psi-jack | Gnea: I'm not certain 9.04 works with eBox 100%, for the setup, That P3/733 I mentioned earlier, is what system's going to be doing 100% authentication via LDAP. | 08:25 |
| Ghoti | mralexandro: add the windows partition to the fstab with the 'user' option; then anyone can mount it | 08:26 |
| Ghoti | !fstab | mralexandro | 08:26 |
| ubottu | mralexandro: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 08:26 |
| knostra | Salut | 08:26 |
| Dr_Willis | mralexandro: the thing abotu that dock (and docks) ya either clutter up the whole bottom of the screen with lots of icons.. or ya get some desktop space wasted at the sides. :) | 08:26 |
| Dr_Willis | mralexandro: guess i could put a gnome pannel to one side. :) | 08:26 |
| Gnea | psi-jack: I missed the bit about the p3, not sure what that has to do with running a stable system.. | 08:27 |
| mralexandro | Ghoti: thanks | 08:27 |
| mralexandro | Dr_Willis: yes and you can take away the function casuing it to stay on top | 08:27 |
| Ben64 | mralexandro: you need to add the password there too | 08:27 |
| Ghoti | mralexandro: anytime; that'll be £8 :) | 08:27 |
| mralexandro | Ghoti: :D:D | 08:27 |
| psi-jack | Crap, well, my Ubuntu 9.04-Desktop CD is a frisbee. | 08:27 |
| Ghoti | psi-jack: that's no fun | 08:28 |
| Dr_Willis | mralexandro: well i have tried most all the docks.. and i will say - this oneis the most useable.. | 08:28 |
| psi-jack | Heh yeah. | 08:28 |
| Dr_Willis | mralexandro: all the rest never work well.. or are lacking features | 08:28 |
| Ghoti | Dr_Willis: when I want a dock, I just VNC into my Mac ;) | 08:28 |
| gogeta | psi-jack: we call em costers | 08:28 |
| Dr_Willis | mralexandro: and the win-space feature is the main use.. the dock is a bonus. | 08:28 |
| psi-jack | I burned like 4-5 frisbees recently, of Ubuntu 9.04-Desktop (server was fine though), Ubuntu 8.04-Alternate, and eBox 1.2 | 08:28 |
| mralexandro | Dr_Willis: the win space is the winning over ALL :) | 08:29 |
| psi-jack | gogeta: I'm not you. ;) :) | 08:29 |
| psi-jack | I call 'em frisbees. heh | 08:29 |
| ramkumar_ | sorry for the late gnr | 08:29 |
| Dr_Willis | mralexandro: if you can rember the special words for the plugins... | 08:29 |
| Ghoti | psi-jack: sure your drive and/or media aren't borked? | 08:29 |
| ramkumar_ | i haven,t deleted but i want to know? | 08:29 |
| gogeta | psi-jack: tryn to make a ebox work? | 08:29 |
| psi-jack | It's all good hardware. | 08:29 |
| mralexandro | Dr_Willis: and i have never seen anything smarter than this lancher/dock, it is my new fav | 08:29 |
| psi-jack | gogeta: A series of them, yep. | 08:29 |
| Simon_Wang | when sending email with kmail, for the message of authentication support is not compiled into kio_smtp | 08:29 |
| Simon_Wang | how to solve | 08:30 |
| gogeta | psi-jack: issue? | 08:30 |
| Ghoti | psi-jack: I've had a bad batch of CDRs waste three days in trying to figure out some strange behavior | 08:30 |
| Ben64 | mralexandro: | 08:30 |
| Ben64 | /192.168.123.45/share /mnt/point smbfs username=[user],password=[password],uid=[uid],gid=[gid],users,noauto 0 0 | 08:30 |
| Ben64 | thats what i use | 08:30 |
| Ghoti | psi-jack: then I noticed the media layer wasn't actually adhered to the plastic disc. Good times. | 08:30 |
| Ben64 | then i just type "mount /mnt/point" in my terminal and it mounts | 08:30 |
| gnr | ramkumar_:then read bout initrd, if you the guts then delete it :) | 08:30 |
| Ben64 | dont need sudo | 08:30 |
| Ghoti | Ben64: isn't it 'user', not 'users'? | 08:30 |
| mralexandro | Ben64: thanks :) that was a helping hand.i was unsure about the setup | 08:31 |
| Ben64 | i have users *shrug* | 08:31 |
| gogeta | psi-jack: your not just droping the iso on a disk are you | 08:31 |
| Ghoti | Ben64: if it works, it works :) | 08:31 |
| user101 | Is there any way given any package I can build it statically which will statically include things like libc.so and so on? | 08:31 |
| psi-jack | gogeta: Of course not. :p | 08:31 |
| ramkumar_ | what u mean gnr... i can,t understand.. | 08:31 |
| psi-jack | Heh, well, holy heck. | 08:31 |
| psi-jack | 9.04-Server, booted up smooth and fast as heck. | 08:31 |
| gogeta | psi-jack: be suprised how many do | 08:31 |
| psi-jack | Guess I could just install 9.04-server and install ubuntu-desktop | 08:32 |
| ramkumar_ | ok...sorry i will learn about it... | 08:32 |
| Ghoti | gogeta: I wouldn't be, heh | 08:32 |
| ramkumar_ | and we will discuss later.. | 08:32 |
| ramkumar_ | how i edit an Os like ubuntu any idea plz... | 08:32 |
| Keiffer | how do you generate passwords from terminal? | 08:32 |
| psi-jack | The 9.04 "Live Desktop" still doesn't support LVM, correct? Only the Alternate mode? | 08:33 |
| livingdaylight | hello | 08:33 |
| mralexandro | Ben64: why the ip adress? | 08:33 |
| Ghoti | Keiffer: look into the pwgen package | 08:33 |
| Ben64 | oh, you should put in the ip of the computer you want to access from | 08:33 |
| Ben64 | i was just making stuff up | 08:33 |
| livingdaylight | question: i've installed samba to allow my two ubuntu machines to share folders | 08:33 |
| Ghoti | livingdaylight: that's a statement. | 08:34 |
| livingdaylight | but cant access.. won't accept password | 08:34 |
| ramkumar_ | why ubuntu 9.04 doesn,t have wvdial | 08:34 |
| aaron11 | Ben64:what do you want | 08:34 |
| kamil | hi | 08:34 |
| mralexandro | Ben64: i got it, but it is not neccessary at a local mount right? | 08:34 |
| Ben64 | aaron-: one billion dollars | 08:34 |
| Ghoti | ramkumar_: yes it does | 08:34 |
| ramkumar_ | i think samba is to share the folders with Windows and linux | 08:34 |
| livingdaylight | I've right-clicked and gone share options it automatically installed samba - i can see the folders but can't mount them | 08:34 |
| Ben64 | mralexandro: it does need an ip to work | 08:34 |
| Ben64 | or a hostname could work, but i find that less reliable | 08:35 |
| ramkumar_ | but while i am trying there is no wvdial ghoti | 08:35 |
| Ivoz | I installed firestarter on ubuntu 9.04, but it seems to be blocking from from viewing windows shares. Samba is enabled, but the firewall is seeing an unknown service connect on a pretty random port whenever i try to open a windows computer on the network. Can i configure samba differently or something? | 08:35 |
| Ghoti | ramkumar_: http://pastebin.com/f26477529 | 08:36 |
| mralexandro | Ben64: so in my case the ip should be what ip my local computer display for lan or something? | 08:36 |
| Ben64 | whatever computer that has the share you want mounted | 08:36 |
| livingdaylight | anyone know why i can't mount my files? | 08:37 |
| Ghoti | livingdaylight: is there a reason you're wanting to use samba to share between two Linux boxen rather than, say, NFS or SSHFS? | 08:37 |
| livingdaylight | Ghoti: because that is what was recommended | 08:37 |
| psi-jack | Or even better, Coda? | 08:37 |
| arpad_ | hi i got a problem with a display driver, after grub i can't see shit. what would be the solution for me, please help | 08:37 |

| Ghoti | psi-jack: Note to self: look at Coda | 08:37 |
| livingdaylight | Ghoti: also when i right-click on a folder and choose share option Ubuntu automatically installs and uses samba | 08:38 |
| Ben64 | mralexandro: why do you want to mount a drive as samba? | 08:38 |
| Ben64 | seems pretty redundant | 08:38 |
| Ivoz | how do u configure samba? | 08:38 |
| psi-jack | Ghoti: There's other good distributed filesystems too, but Coda allows offline access which is REAAAAALLY nice. | 08:38 |

| livingdaylight | Ghoti: if you right click on a folder and want to share it installs samba | 08:39 |
| Dr_Willis | livingdaylight: you may need to install the 'samba' package befor that shareing stuff works | 08:40 |
| Ben64 | mralexandro: also, /dev/sdax wouldn't work for samba | 08:40 |
| psi-jack | Great.... | 08:40 |
| Dr_Willis | livingdaylight: ive had issues in the past where it wouldent auto-install samba. but that may be fixed by now. | 08:40 |
| zvacet1 | spO:I don´t think so | 08:40 |
| livingdaylight | Ghoti: i should just be able to go to other box - and i do see the folder - mount it and access files, but it refuses passwords | 08:40 |
| psi-jack | 9.04-server stalled on "Installing the base system" at 83%, retrieving file 2 of 9 | 08:40 |
| mralexandro | Ben64: i just want my winvista partition to automount in ubuntu, i have to use a local ip then? | 08:40 |
| Ghoti | livingdaylight: Yes, but I don't use Samba, I use NFS, so my ability to assist you with Samba troubles will be limited :-/ | 08:40 |

| Dr_Willis | mralexandro: er.. mounting a partition on the machines hard drive? thats just editing fstab.. | 08:41 |
| livingdaylight | Dr_Willis: it has auto-installed samba, and i DO see the folder shared, it just won't mount | 08:41 |
| Ghoti | livingdaylight: if you are connectinb from box A to box B, use login credentials from box B, not A. | 08:41 |
| Dr_Willis | livingdaylight: mount what/where? whos mounting what? | 08:41 |
| mralexandro | Dr_Willis: which is what i am trying to do(but i am windows user) :) | 08:41 |
| Dr_Willis | to 'share' a windows partition on a linxu box.. you MIGHT have to have it mounted automatically via /etc/fstab so the mountpoint wont change. | 08:41 |
| livingdaylight | Dr_Willis: me, I am mounting. What? Box A from Box B | 08:41 |
| livingdaylight | Ghoti: yes, that is what i'm doing | 08:42 |

| psi-jack | Ugh! Fricken Ubuntu installer! You'd THINK 9.04-server would actually let you setup LVM with all the LVM options, like STRIPING | 08:47 |
| TwoTwenty | pis-jacl: why use ubuntu server ? | 08:47 |
| Ghoti | *facepalm* | 08:48 |
| psi-jack | TwoTwenty: Maybe I'm installing a server? | 08:48 |
| TwoTwenty | psi-jack: why not use debian or gentoo or slackware | 08:48 |
| psi-jack | TwoTwenty: Why not you be quiet and stop butting into other people's distribution decisons? | 08:48 |
| sudobash | well you can configure ubuntu-desktop to be a sever also | 08:48 |
| Ghoti | TwoTwenty: is this really the place to advocate other distros? :p | 08:49 |
| sudobash | the only real diff are packages and config | 08:49 |
| TwoTwenty | psi-jack: im merely asking for reasons maybe they will become my own | 08:49 |
| bazhang | psi-jack, please keep it civil | 08:49 |
| sudobash | best servers would be unix/bsd | 08:49 |
| majnoon | TwoTwenty, ubuntu good enough for experts ,but also have the experts to help (when they AWAKE) | 08:49 |
| psi-jack | TwoTwenty: Server installs only the bare minimums, plus tasksel is equiped to install server-related packages, not desktop. | 08:49 |
| bazhang | TwoTwenty, better to discuss in ##linux or #ubuntu-offtopic NOT here | 08:49 |
| zvacet | sudobash: and kernel of course | 08:49 |
| sudobash | ubuntu is plenty good for experts and noobs alike | 08:50 |
| majnoon | newbie friendly AND expert setups | 08:50 |
| gogeta | psi-jack: acully the pro mini iso installs only the basics | 08:50 |
| jkessler | and the noobs who think they are experts | 08:50 |
| majnoon | jkessler, i kinda resemble that remark | 08:51 |
| jkessler | it's a big category | 08:51 |
| psi-jack | So, I'm guessing Ubuntu's installer still only has VERY minimal LVM support, eh? | 08:51 |
| Ghoti | majnoon: I find that resemblance remarkable | 08:51 |
| sudobash | everyone does really there is always something to learn | 08:51 |
| gogeta | psi-jack: lvm needs tro be installed | 08:51 |
| livingdaylight | Ghoti: do you think samba needs to be installed on one or both systems? | 08:51 |
| gogeta | psi-jack: you can do it from the live cd if your doing a vlm install | 08:51 |
| majnoon | <--in middle but closer to newbie | 08:52 |
| sudobash | we only work and can do what we understand | 08:52 |
| gogeta | lvm | 08:52 |
| Ghoti | livingdaylight: the server needs to be installed on the machine hosting the files; the client on the one requesting the files from the server | 08:52 |
| sudobash | that goes for the devs also | 08:52 |
| gogeta | psi-jack: sudo apt-get install lvm2 | 08:52 |
| skyler | does no one else have this problem though? | 08:52 |
| Ghoti | gogeta: methinks psi-jack's machine isn't in a place where apt-get is operational | 08:52 |
| psi-jack | gogeta: Yeah yeah, That's what I'm going to do, because I want my striping, and when I reconfigured it to use two logical volumes instead of one, for / and /home seperation, it went from being striped to *cringe* linear | 08:52 |
| livingdaylight | Ghoti: so if i want both systems to be able to access one another, both would need samba? | 08:52 |
| TwoTwenty | skyler: what problem | 08:53 |
| sudobash | sorry i missed your q skyler | 08:53 |
| Ghoti | livingdaylight: both would need both the server and the client | 08:53 |
| majnoon | i got into ubuntu because i LOVE apt-get and the people MORE friendly then #debian | 08:53 |
| bazhang | !ot > majnoon | 08:53 |
| ubottu | majnoon, please see my private message | 08:53 |
| gogeta | jkessler: noobs who think there experts rite just a certed redhat user hear i dont now a thing | 08:53 |
| psi-jack | gogeta: Quite frankly, with 6 120GB HDD's, linear would be kinda useless. But with Striping, it makes it SOOOOO fast. | 08:53 |
| sudobash | livingdaylight: sudo apt-get install samba smbfs | 08:53 |
| skyler | my network randomly quit and usually require a restart for it to work again | 08:53 |
| livingdaylight | Ghoti: if both machines havce the same username - could that cause a conflict? | 08:53 |
| sudobash | do that on both machines | 08:53 |
| skyler | sometimes it stays on for hour | 08:53 |
| skyler | and other times just a few minutes | 08:53 |
| Ghoti | majnoon: I love apt-get, but I still miss portage sometimes, to be honest :) | 08:53 |
| Ghoti | livingdaylight: I don'e see how | 08:53 |
| skyler | hours* | 08:53 |
| majnoon | same IDEA i think Ghoti | 08:54 |
| TwoTwenty | skyler: are you using wireless? | 08:54 |
| skyler | yes | 08:54 |
| sudobash | skyler: msg me... | 08:54 |
| skyler | ubuntu 904 | 08:54 |
| livingdaylight | Ghoti: just grasping at straws | 08:54 |
| TwoTwenty | skyler: what wireless card ? | 08:54 |
| damad_ | what is a good channel for browsing for movies? | 08:54 |
| majnoon | takes care of the dependencies | 08:54 |
| sudobash | I just wrote a little tut for someone else on network troubleshooting | 08:54 |
| bazhang | damad_, not on this network | 08:54 |
| gogeta | psi-jack: or a raid0 setup | 08:54 |
| majnoon | sudobash, mesg me the url ?? | 08:54 |
| psi-jack | gogeta: I prefer LVM over softraid. | 08:54 |
| gogeta | psi-jack: you just said lvm was useless | 08:55 |
| psi-jack | gogeta: LVM linear, not LVM Striping. | 08:55 |
| TwoTwenty | skyler: have you tried reinitializing IP through DHCP after it goes off? | 08:55 |
| psi-jack | gogeta: Ubuntu's Alternate installer only supports creating LVM Linear, but not Stripes. | 08:55 |
| Keiffer | selinux messeup up my ubuntu | 08:55 |
| psi-jack | Alternate and Server | 08:55 |
| damad_ | anybody know o a good movie channel? | 08:55 |
| gogeta | psi-jack: oh well that setup is up to you when you setup lvm i just pointed you on how to make the installer use it | 08:55 |
| skyler | well, it asks for the passcode, and sometimes it works when i type it in, sometimes it doent | 08:55 |
| bazhang | damad_, no. stop asking here. | 08:55 |
| majnoon | Ghoti, there ARE some RPM based distros starting to use a form of apt-get | 08:56 |
| psi-jack | gogeta: The console mode installation, Server or Alternate mode, does support LVM, BUT it only lets you create linear volumes, not striped volumes. | 08:56 |

| psi-jack | gogeta: Which is very upsetting. | 08:56 |

| TwoTwenty | skyler: a common misconception with wireless pascodes and netowrk monitor (the networking app in ubuntu) is the code, one is a keyring code and the other is the wireless key | 08:56 |
| sudobash | it was for a specific problem but it will help you I am sure skyler | 08:57 |

| gogeta | psi-jack: thers a way to do it post install | 08:57 |
| livingdaylight | sudobash: maybe you can help me with samba here. I've been told to install samba to be able to share folders /files between two linux boxes. On the laptop i installed it via command line. On the Desktop i right-clicked on the folder and clicked on the 'share option' it automatically installed samba. Both computer can now see each others folders, but when i attempt to mount it refuses the password | 08:57 |
| === janne2 is now known as Skiessi | ||
| TwoTwenty | the the wireless key is the password to wireless.. the keyring passcode is one you made the first time you setup wireless | 08:57 |
| psi-jack | gogeta: To change linear volumes to striped volumes, for / ? No, no there's not. | 08:57 |
| majnoon | with linux the good ideas USUALLY spread out to ALL distros | 08:57 |
| Dr_Willis | livingdaylight: give the users samba passwords with 'sudo smbpasswd -a username' | 08:57 |
| === aspen___ is now known as Aspen__ | ||
| bazhang | majnoon, please take chat elsewhere | 08:58 |
| Dr_Willis | livingdaylight: for linux to linux. You could also use 'nfs' or 'ssh' (or sshfs) to access files on the remote box's | 08:58 |
| TwoTwenty | skyler: the the wireless key is the password to wireless.. the keyring passcode is one you made the first time you setup wireless | 08:58 |
| sudobash | Dr_willis is right or you can allow guest access to your share for anonymous users | 08:58 |
| gogeta | psi-jack: yes logical volume mangment its a redhat tool ported to ubuntu has a gui to | 08:58 |
| sudobash | but I would just apply passwords | 08:58 |
| gogeta | psi-jack: we warned thow all changes are instant | 08:58 |
| R2D21 | Ok too talk hardware? | 08:59 |
| bazhang | ##hardware R2D21 | 08:59 |
| psi-jack | gogeta: Again, you can NOT convert linear volumes to striped volumes. | 08:59 |
| R2D21 | thx | 08:59 |
| jkessler | lol this is like #ubuntu-directoryassistance | 08:59 |
| livingdaylight | Dr_Willis: i know but earlier people on #ubuntu recommended samba, now people recommend something else :/ Ubuntu mind you automatically chose samba too when i took the right-click on folder route to explore the 'share option' I'd be happy to use NFS but samba should work too | 08:59 |
| Dr_Willis | livingdaylight: all can work.. you dident mention Linux to linux.. earlier. | 08:59 |
| psi-jack | livingdaylight: Whomever recommended Samba for sharing files between Linux systems, was an idiot. | 08:59 |
| gogeta | psi-jack you dont make lvm at install you do it after | 09:00 |
| gogeta | psi-jack: no conversion just setup later | 09:00 |
| Dr_Willis | livingdaylight: the cifs stuff works very well for linux to linux.. but it depends on your exact needs. plus if you ever get a windows machineonthe lan you will want to use samba. | 09:00 |
| livingdaylight | Dr_Willis: but i did earlier when i came in 6hrs ago | 09:00 |
| psi-jack | gogeta: Oy. My / is LVM striped over 6 drives. | 09:00 |
| psi-jack | gogeta: You cannot set that up, POST install. | 09:00 |
| gogeta | psi-jack: heh bit to late | 09:00 |
| Dr_Willis | livingdaylight: I only just now saw you say 'linux to linux' its not like using samba is going to hurt anything. | 09:01 |
| gogeta | psi-jack: be suprised what you can do | 09:01 |
| livingdaylight | Dr_Willis: why is samba not a good option between linux 2 linux? | 09:01 |
| Dr_Willis | livingdaylight: you could use samba, nfs, and sshfs all the same time. | 09:01 |
| xangua | hello there, i have some problem with one css that needs 2 addons to work ....... http://userstyles.org/styles/2131 ; i have both addons installed and follower the instructions over anr over again with no results ; i hope some one can help me with this | 09:01 |
| Dr_Willis | livingdaylight: samba is a bit slower. and has limitations. it depends on how you are going to use it. | 09:01 |
| livingdaylight | Dr_Willis: i think i've found the issue and fixed it! | 09:01 |
| psi-jack | gogeta: I'd rather less headache than volume juggling / around partitions and volumes. | 09:01 |
| livingdaylight | Dr_Willis: what limitations? | 09:01 |
| majnoon | Advances are made by answering questions. Discoveries are made by questioning answers.— Bernard Haisch | 09:02 |
| bazhang | xangua, better to ask in #css | 09:02 |
| psi-jack | gogeta: Which is basically what you're suggesting, by doing it post install. Juggling. | 09:02 |
| Dr_Willis | livingdaylight: read up on the samba sites/docs - for one thing.. if ya make a directory called "Stuff" and another called 'stuff' :) it can get confused. | 09:02 |
| xangua | thanks bazhang | 09:02 |
| Dr_Willis | livingdaylight: given how common samba is.. you will want to learn about it eventually | 09:02 |
| Dr_Willis | !info samba-doc | 09:02 |

| gst-kaps | Dr_Willis: gparted is hanging, even in case of the live gparted cd, it says serching /dev/sda partition ? | 09:03 |
| gogeta | psi-jack: liner | 09:03 |
| bazhang | majnoon, stay on topic | 09:03 |
| majnoon | i USUALLY do in here | 09:03 |
| psi-jack | gogeta: I prefer getting the speed out of 6 drives, by using striping. | 09:03 |
| Dr_Willis | gst-kaps: theres options you can give gparted from the command line. Or try the 'fdisk' command I guess.. i normally use 'fdisk' for simple tasks | 09:03 |
| majnoon | but was basically explaining WHY i chose ubuntu that SORTA on topic | 09:03 |
| psi-jack | gogeta: LVM volumes can be snapshot to my external solid-state HDD in case of failure. | 09:04 |
| bazhang | majnoon, no, its not. #ubuntu-offtopic for that. | 09:04 |
| psi-jack | gogeta: And thus, restored, relatively easily. | 09:04 |
| livingdaylight | Dr_Willis: but you think nfs is better between linux machines? why? | 09:04 |
| Dr_Willis | livingdaylight: nfs works very well for me. | 09:04 |
| Dr_Willis | livingdaylight: for a quick 'shareing of data' i tend to use 'sshfs' | 09:04 |
| psi-jack | Dr_Willis: Curious about something. Do you use any LDAP or NIS+ for user sharing for NFS? ;) | 09:05 |
| Dr_Willis | psi-jack: i got a 5 pc lan. :) i dont use those things for it. | 09:05 |
| Dr_Willis | psi-jack: i got 3 users. :) | 09:05 |
| psi-jack | heh | 09:05 |
| livingdaylight | Dr_Willis: apt-get install sshfs? | 09:05 |

| sudobash | pandora.com works with flash in firefox | 09:09 |
| Dr_Willis | livingdaylight: having /home mounted over nfs CAN have... issues :) | 09:09 |
| livingdaylight | not even... /home/video ; /home/Documents | 09:09 |
| bazhang | mralexandro, to play radio, or ubuntu podcasts | 09:09 |
| Dr_Willis | livingdaylight: it sucks if your home 'server' crashes | 09:09 |
| Dr_Willis | that can really confuse the running apps | 09:10 |
| livingdaylight | Dr_Willis: well, i've got samba working now... where i had gone wrong was the names... I had to change from WORKGROUP to network:/// | 09:10 |
| Dr_Willis | livingdaylight: i tend to mount remote box's to like /nfs/machine1 and /nfs/machine2 and so on. | 09:10 |
| psi-jack | Having my database server burn my Ubuntu 9.04-Desktop CD is such a pain. heh | 09:10 |
| Dr_Willis | livingdaylight: set the workgroup in /etc/samba/smb.conf perhaps? | 09:11 |
| livingdaylight | Dr_Willis: i see you actually create a folder called /nfs | 09:11 |
| Dr_Willis | livingdaylight: yes and a subdir for each macihne to keep things organized | 09:11 |
| sudobash | nice | 09:11 |

| Dr_Willis | ideamonk: i just copy them to my users .fonts directory and reboot last time. there was some command I never can rember to run... | 09:15 |
| xangua | ideamonk: to install windows fonts, adobe flash, codecs, etc: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 09:15 |
| xangua | thah only if you use ubuntu-gnome desktop | 09:16 |
| Dr_Willis | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Fonts Note: After you install a new font, you will need to make sure that programs in which you want to use the new fonts can recognize them. In most cases this is done by closing and reopening the programs; however, some programs may require you to log out and log back in. | 09:16 |
| ideamonk | xangua, woah! that easy... damn i wasted time :) | 09:16 |
| Dr_Willis | ideamonk: unless you had windows fonts not included inthe restricted-extas :) | 09:17 |
| ideamonk | :) | 09:17 |
| mralexandro | bazhang: thanks | 09:17 |
| Dr_Willis | ideamonk: just be thankfull linux is no longer likeit used to be where using ttf required leet-skills and haxoring code! :) | 09:18 |

| Adross | i have a usb flash voyager disk. 16 gig and formatted to vfat. It's not mounting in ubuntu, xp, or vista. However, in vista, i can initially browse the device, though try to open anything gives me a warning that the disk is not inserted. When inserted in ubuntu, it shows up as /dev/sdb only, there is no entry for it's partitions. Ideas? | 09:19 |
| enzotib_ | Adross: have you tried to re-format it? | 09:20 |
| Dr_Willis | or 'zero' the device with dd. then reformat - if just reformating fails | 09:22 |
| Dr_Willis | and i have seen usb-flash drives fail/break | 09:22 |
| Adross | yes. But vista right click/format option complains of the lack of a disk, it doesn't show up in gparted, and the mkfs command complains that No medium found while trying to determine filesystem size | 09:22 |
| johnny_ | lol | 09:22 |
| Dr_Willis | Adross: may be worth the effort to 'zero' it out.. | 09:23 |
| Dr_Willis | you have tried it on othe rmachines/usb ports? | 09:23 |
| co_luc | hai | 09:24 |
| co_luc | hai | 09:24 |
| Adross | Dr_Willis, right now i'm willing to contend it is. How do i do that? | 09:25 |
| Dr_Willis | Adross: figure out the /dev/DEVICENAME (like /dev/sdi) then... | 09:26 |
| mralexandro | i have trouble in virtualbox. i have a virtual xp installation that i used in vista. cause i moved my xp into my vista. or into virtual disk. now i was hoping i could access my virtual xp in linux via virtual box. but i get blue screen in the start. i am sure it has to do with the way it read the hardisk. is there a spesific way that vmware set up its partition. cause i have tried mounting as both | 09:26 |
| mralexandro | ide and sta | 09:26 |
| Dr_Willis | Adross: and DONT dd the wrong device. :) | 09:26 |
| Dr_Willis | Adross: sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/DEVICENAME | 09:26 |
| Dr_Willis | Adross: theres a BS=1024 option that may help if go faster | 09:26 |

| Adross | Dr_Willis, opening `/dev/sdb': No medium found | 09:30 |
| Dr_Willis | Adross: that sounds like the usb flash drive is really really goofed. | 09:30 |
| ^cheeky | firecrotch, yeah i did that it works fine (internal ip) that is, but if put my external ip its just opens my router :S | 09:30 |
| Dr_Willis | Adross: you still got the receipt? :) | 09:30 |
| firecrotch | ^cheeky: that's what my router does too - it works properly when connection from outside the network to my external IP though | 09:31 |
| Adross | Dr_Willis, I can get a refund | 09:31 |
| Adross | damn | 09:31 |
| Dr_Willis | Adross: try on some other machines /port till its seen... but i wouldent trust it... | 09:31 |

| jamiewan | yes dave | 09:42 |
| spO | and ther eis no way to clean them if they are unclean | 09:42 |

| Dr_Willis | spO: so this is a NTFS filesytem drive? or linux filesystem? | 09:46 |
| firecrotch | spO: If you just cut the power to a USB drive without unmounting it, its pretty much a crapshoot as to what state it will be in | 09:46 |
| spO | it is ntfs | 09:46 |
| sercik | you can force mount | 09:47 |
| sercik | see ntfs-3g man page | 09:47 |

| ShawnC | Hi, I am having problems on ubuntu, I am using ubuntu 8.04 and my audio randomly stops working/randomly my mouse freezes/randomly I can't click the shutdown button at the top right so I have to hard shutdown. Anyone know how I can fix this? | 09:59 |
| richardcavell | gogeta: so if I uninstalled pulse I'd still have sound? | 09:59 |

| mrgenericuser | ShawnC have you run memtest on your machine to make sure you don't have bad ram?? | 10:00 |
| ShawnC | 1.5 gb | 10:01 |
| ShawnC | of ram | 10:01 |
| oldude67 | ShawnC, what video card are you running as well? | 10:01 |
| ShawnC | umm | 10:01 |
| Anarhist | hello i have a machine i just successfully installed ubuntu on, but it has no internets, i have tried to use apt-zip, but before using that i would need to run 'apt-get update' which i can't because it is offline | 10:01 |
| ShawnC | How will I figure out the video card | 10:01 |
| ShawnC | ? | 10:01 |
| kiaas_ | ShawnC, um, that means nothing to memtest. It makes sure the ram is actually good, not how much of it there is | 10:01 |
| PAPUL_ | hey papul | 10:01 |
| ShawnC | oh | 10:01 |
| ShawnC | and terminal doesn't run | 10:01 |
| ShawnC | and programs don't open properl | 10:01 |
| ShawnC | y | 10:01 |
| psi-jack | Crap crap crap.. Ubuntu didn't install grub on the right location. | 10:02 |
| oldude67 | ShawnC, try memtest and check the hard drive. | 10:02 |

| abhifx | can someone help me with unetbootin? | 10:02 |
| abhifx | plz | 10:02 |
| ShawnC | BRB, lemme reboot | 10:02 |
| Dr_Willis | abhifx: in what way? | 10:02 |
| ShawnC | so I can run terminal... | 10:02 |
| abhifx | instaling linux with it | 10:02 |
| abhifx | i have already booted in a live mode. | 10:03 |
| abhifx | but cabt install from the live session | 10:04 |
| psi-jack | Oy.. That's another factor of Ubuntu I don't like, it doesn't like using the proper methods of putting Grub on a bootable partition, instead of on the MBR where it doesn't ever need to be. | 10:04 |
| Dr_Willis | psi-jack: thats debateable i guess.. but then again. i dont recall any dissrtos doing it other ways. | 10:05 |
| Dr_Willis | i guess some do ask. :) | 10:05 |
| abhifx | plz help me install ubuntu from unetbootin | 10:05 |
| mrgenericuser | does anyone else run multiple monitors with separate x screens? | 10:05 |
| Dr_Willis | mrgenericuser: i have befor.. but i dont see the need for seperate X screens | 10:06 |
| spO | dmesg doesn't even list my ntfs usb drives | 10:06 |
| KB1JWQ | spO: Obviously. | 10:06 |
| abhifx | is there a way to install ubuntu without a cd | 10:06 |
| Dr_Willis | spO: it will show info as you plugin/remove the devices | 10:06 |
| KB1JWQ | dmesg is the kernel log; if you're using NTFS-3g, it's using FUSE. | 10:06 |
| KB1JWQ | The U in FUSE stands for Userspace/Userland | 10:07 |
| KB1JWQ | :) | 10:07 |
| Dr_Willis | plug in.. wait a few sec... check dmesg... | 10:07 |
| mrgenericuser | running nvidia card, combined x (twinview) fullscreen games try to use the full width of the x desktop and game is split between screens, looks bad. | 10:07 |
| spO | maybe i need to install fuse packages then | 10:07 |
| Dr_Willis | mrgenericuser: You could just disable one screeen launch game.. then restore it.. | 10:07 |
| KB1JWQ | spO: It should already handle that for you automatically. | 10:07 |
| spO | is there a file system that is supported by windows and linux? | 10:07 |
| mrgenericuser | and my secondary screen is left of my primary | 10:07 |
| Dr_Willis | mrgenericuser: most games ive tried dont have that issue.. only some of the older/badly programmed ones. | 10:07 |
| abhifx | ahem... can anybody help me in installing ubuntu without burning it | 10:08 |
| richardcavell | sp0: yes | 10:08 |
| mrgenericuser | openarena and wesnoth | 10:08 |
| mrgenericuser | dont run wine for windows games, just dont run windows games anymore | 10:08 |
| KB1JWQ | abhifx: How do you propose to install it? | 10:08 |
| Dr_Willis | abhifx: download unetbootin, run it.. point it to the ubuntu.iso and your flash drive.. let it copy files over... boot flash drive. | 10:08 |
| xlq | sp0: ntfs, vfat, and ext2/ext3 with a third-party driver for Windows | 10:08 |
| Dr_Willis | Hm wesnoth fullscrerned fine for me the other day.. let me try again | 10:08 |
| zetheroo | well this is big .. what a letdown ... Ubuntu loosing its edge with hardware support ... it used to be tops in that respect ... | 10:09 |
| xlq | zetheroo: what's failed you now? | 10:09 |
| zetheroo | my wifi | 10:09 |
| zetheroo | Atheros | 10:09 |
| mrgenericuser | the only problem i have with separate x screens, is that i cant force apps launced on the second screen to open on that screen...... | 10:09 |
| abhifx | kb1jwq : i ws trying with unetbootin | 10:09 |
| abhifx | Dr_willis: i hv already done that | 10:09 |
| abhifx | but i wont let me install it on a dedicated partition | 10:09 |
| sambo | I updated ubuntu hardy now my installation is broken, the wireless is not detected, the nvidia card is not detected, etc.. please help me | 10:09 |
| kronix | Everyone, I want to ask a favour from you all. | 10:09 |
| psi-jack | Dr_Willis: OpenSUSE allows you to choose easily, and defaults to using the boot partition. | 10:09 |
| rittyan | Hi all. I installed ubuntu netbook remix, made switch to a normal gnome desktop (there is such a thing in preferences) and now gnome-panel and metacity don't start up. How do I cure that? | 10:09 |
| kronix | blognewb was recently diagnosed with AIDS. He's gone around telling a lot of people on IRC, which suggests he's going through some kind of breakdown. If you could please reassure him that AIDS isn't always terminal (AIDS patients live on for 20+ years in some cases), it'd be a big help. Thanks. | 10:10 |
| Dr_Willis | abhifx: huh? You use unetbootin.. make the flash drive.. then you REBOOTED from the flash drive? | 10:10 |
| zetheroo | xlq: seems like a lot of people are having issues with Atheros wifi chipsets in Ubuntu Intrepid and Jaunty | 10:10 |
| Dr_Willis | abhifx: i use unetbootin/flash drives to install to all my machines | 10:10 |
| icarus-c | is there fglrx driver for 9.04 ? | 10:10 |
| abhifx | i dont have such big flash drive | 10:11 |
| zetheroo | xlq: its a real big letdown for people who are actually trying to use Ubuntu as a solid and reliable replacement of Windowz | 10:11 |
| Dr_Willis | abhifx: 1 or 2 gb is plenty | 10:11 |
| KB1JWQ | !kickstart | 10:11 |

| KB1JWQ | abhifx: Could try that. | 10:11 |
| Dr_Willis | abhifx: so what are you trying to do with unetbootin then? install to hard drive with it? | 10:11 |
| KB1JWQ | Er... | 10:11 |
| TheNano | zetheroo: have you tested backport drivers , it is a kernel issue not ubuntu actually | 10:11 |
| KB1JWQ | !pxe | 10:11 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about pxe | 10:11 |
| KB1JWQ | abhifx: Google for PXE boot. | 10:12 |
| zetheroo | next time there is a new Ubuntu release they should post warnings regarding changes made that destroy hardware support | 10:12 |
| zetheroo | TheNano: made it even worse | 10:12 |
| abhifx | Dr_willis : i have instaklled it on a hard drive and booted the live session. but it wont let me install it | 10:12 |
| sapfeer | Hello there | 10:12 |
| Dr_Willis | abhifx: because the disk is in use im guessing.... | 10:12 |
| TheNano | zetheroo: what about madwifi ? | 10:12 |
| abhifx | Kb1jwq : thnk will look for it | 10:12 |
| lifeofguenter | why is there no xorg.conf anymore in ubuntu karmic? | 10:13 |
| Dr_Willis | abhifx: i inly use it to make bootable usb drives. | 10:13 |
| spO | does windows have good ext3 support? better than ubuntu's ntfs support.... ie, can you do things like clean ext3 files systems in windows? | 10:13 |
| abhifx | dr_willis : yes thats the problem | 10:13 |
| zetheroo | TheNano: that is what backports does ... it installs madwifi in the place of ath5k | 10:13 |
| Dr_Willis | abhifx: and since you got nothing else to boot. you cant use gparted from a live cd/whatever to resize... | 10:13 |
| TheNano | zetheroo: backport installs latest untested version of ath5k | 10:13 |
| * Dr_Willis has seen 2gb flash drives for $5 | 10:13 | |
| abhifx | Dr_willis : is there some other way besides unetbootin | 10:13 |
| zetheroo | TheNano: and madwifi since Intrepid seems to have spilt its guts all over the place | 10:13 |
| Dr_Willis | abhifx: with no flash drive.. you get limited.. | 10:13 |
| Dr_Willis | abhifx: someone mentioned a pxe boot... | 10:14 |
| zetheroo | TheNano: whats the command you are proposing? | 10:14 |
| firecrotch | spO: There's some ext3 driver for windows, but I could never get it to work | 10:14 |
| TheNano | you can compile ath5k by youself, as well, installing madwifi is not as easy as just installing backport, I can check it | 10:14 |
| abhifx | dr_willis : i even tries wubi | 10:14 |
| ^sQl^KinG^ | wew | 10:14 |
| zetheroo | TheNano: I did sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-jaunty | 10:15 |
| Dr_Willis | abhifx: id run ubuntu in virtualbox befor i would use wubi | 10:15 |
| zetheroo | TheNano: and that completely screwed things up | 10:15 |
| erika1984 | hi all | 10:15 |
| xlq | abhifx: what are you trying to install it on? | 10:15 |
| abhifx | Dr_willis : i want to explain it more | 10:16 |
| abhifx | xlq : let me explain | 10:16 |
| abhifx | i am running jaunty | 10:16 |
| erika1984 | quick question why does system monitor say abrowse issleeping | 10:16 |
| zetheroo | TheNano: I also tried installing the madwifi drivers and did not get passed "make" due to errors .... and I have compiled madwifi without a hitch many other times ... | 10:16 |
| abhifx | i have downloded ultimate edition | 10:16 |
| Anarhist | hi can somebody please help me with installing packages on the offline machine? | 10:16 |
| erika1984 | im on abrowse now | 10:16 |
| abhifx | i want to install ultimate edition | 10:16 |
| abhifx | i have both win vista and jaunty | 10:17 |
| Dr_Willis | abhifx: all ultimate edition is - is a bunch of preinstalled packages. basically.. not worth messing with. | 10:17 |
| majnoon | ok how can i reset gnome i can't run gnome anymore :( | 10:17 |
| Dr_Willis | stick with normal Jaunty. | 10:17 |
| erika1984 | is that a bug with abrowse aka firefox 3.5 | 10:17 |
| Dr_Willis | majnoon: gnome settings are saved in .gnome* and .gconf* you could move those dirs and try logging in again | 10:18 |
| abhifx | dr_willis : i downloaed ultimate because i keep on messing with my linux box. i cant always download stuff for jaunty | 10:18 |
| majnoon | tried that Dr_Willis | 10:18 |
| zetheroo | so if the kernel is the reason for the issue with Atheros chipsets ... is there a way to get an even newer kernel? | 10:18 |
| TheNano | zetheroo: you do have to blacklist ath5k , take a look here , but there should be better guides , I can't find right away https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Atheros | 10:18 |
| abhifx | xlq : i want to install it on a dedicated partition | 10:19 |

| zetheroo | TheNano: yeah ... that's for Intrepid ... | 10:20 |

| abhifx | dr_willis : yes ubuntus installer is different. i ws able to install linux few years back this way | 10:21 |
| kiaas_ | run level 6 is restart every time I've tried it o.o | 10:21 |
| zetheroo | TheNano: and what exactly is this? Is this a single How-To ? ... or two on the same page? | 10:22 |
| Dr_Willis | i gotta find some good upstart docs some day.. | 10:22 |
| icarus-c | how to query installed package using command? | 10:22 |
| xlq | icarus-c: could you be a bit more specific? | 10:23 |
| icarus-c | something like rpm -q? | 10:23 |
| Dr_Willis | icarus-c: err.. ubuntu uses apt | 10:23 |
| Dr_Willis | !apt | icarus-c | 10:23 |
| ubottu | icarus-c: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Adept (KDE) or !KPackageKit (KDE) | 10:23 |
| icarus-c | i konw | 10:23 |
| icarus-c | but is there equivalent | 10:23 |
| Dr_Willis | so check the apt-get docs/guides :) | 10:24 |
| Dr_Willis | theres also 'apt-file' thats handy | 10:24 |
| Dr_Willis | !info apt-file | 10:24 |
| ubottu | apt-file (source: apt-file): search for files within Debian packages (command-line interface). In component universe, is optional. Version 2.2.0 (jaunty), package size 25 kB, installed size 172 kB | 10:24 |
| psi-jack | icarus-c: Well, you see.. rpm uses a system-wide package database for dependancy resolution, and since there's no rpm database on Ubuntu because it uses apt and debian packages, no. there's no real alternative. | 10:24 |
| TheNano | zetheroo: it's atrobel shooting guide that checks 3 different way of make it work , there is many more howtos you should check out, my athreos on Aspire one works just fine wit ath5k | 10:24 |
| icarus-c | Dr_Willis: i don't get anything interested from man apt-get apt-cache | 10:25 |
| psi-jack | Dr_Willis: Hmm? apt-file? How's that different from using dpkg? | 10:25 |
| Dr_Willis | psi-jack: it uses some sort of cache/database. | 10:25 |
| psi-jack | Dr_Willis: Ohh, so faster, perchance? | 10:25 |
| Dr_Willis | yes - i think its what the bot uses | 10:25 |
| Dr_Willis | !find apt-file | 10:25 |
| ubottu | Found: apt-file | 10:25 |
| psi-jack | Aha! Cool. I'll look into that. | 10:25 |
| Dr_Willis | !find smb.conf | 10:25 |
| ubottu | File smb.conf found in ebox-samba, fusesmb, linpopup, manpages-zh, mythbuntu-common (and 6 others) | 10:25 |
| zetheroo | TheNano: ok .. well thanks .. I just need something that is current ... I cannot afford to loose any more of my sanity :) I have already tried too many How-To's which were not current ... | 10:26 |
| kavurt | icarus-c, do you want to see if package installed or not? | 10:26 |
| xlq | icarus-c: what are you trying to find out? | 10:26 |
| icarus-c | So how would you guys check if a specific package is installed or what is included in a package? | 10:26 |
| icarus-c | kavurt: yes | 10:26 |
| xlq | icarus-c: "dpkg -s package", or "apt-cache show package" | 10:26 |
| psi-jack | Dr_Willis: Wait, curious. Does apt-file search a centralized database, or the local system? dpkg only does the local system. | 10:26 |
| kavurt | aptitude search package | 10:27 |
| kavurt | if it has an i in front, it is installed | 10:27 |
| Dr_Willis | psi-jack: not sure.. | 10:27 |
| psi-jack | heh, another thing I don't like about Ubuntu's graphical installer. | 10:27 |
| psi-jack | You can't setup your network manually if you have a DHCP server running. it just doesn't give you the fricken option. :/ | 10:28 |
| Dr_Willis | psi-jack: its user friendly.. :P | 10:28 |
| xlq | lol | 10:28 |
| psi-jack | Too much so. :p | 10:28 |
| icarus-c | ubuntu should have an "expert mode" :D | 10:28 |
| psi-jack | Even Windows' installer is user friendly, and they ask network configuration. | 10:29 |
| icarus-c | or just NetworkManager is too clever | 10:29 |
| euzao | hey | 10:29 |
| euzao | is there an application that makes possible you to record which books you read? | 10:29 |
| KB1JWQ | icarus-c: "Expert Mode" is called Debian. :-D | 10:30 |

| zetheroo | TheNano: the thing is that it all boils down to either finding something that works for you exact hardware by testing and trying out all kinds of "fixes" ... or finding someone with the exact same hardware and the same distro release who had already had and fixed the issue .... neither option is easy | 10:41 |
| mrgenericuser | do you have a useb wireless or wired nic available? | 10:42 |
| Anarhist | xlq, but how do i get it to download packages already installed? | 10:42 |
| Dr_Willis | why would you want to? | 10:42 |
| Ademan | anyone know of a way to make X11 clients resilient to X.org crashes? | 10:42 |
| luomo | no i don't have usb wireless or wired nic installed inside | 10:42 |
| Anarhist | Dr_Willis, is that a question for me? | 10:43 |
| xlq | Anarhist: don't know then | 10:43 |
| Ademan | i remember seeing something on reddit a while back, but I don't remember what it was or how it functioned, but apparently it worked | 10:43 |
| Dr_Willis | Anarhist: yes. | 10:43 |
| psi-jack | Oh! Cute! | 10:43 |
| * psi-jack grunts. | 10:43 | |
| Dr_Willis | Ademan: that would be aneat trick... thats like keeping a house standing after the foundation washes away | 10:43 |
| Anarhist | Dr_Willis, so that i can use APTonCD | 10:43 |
| Dr_Willis | Anarhist: i thought aptoncd redownloaded them if it needed | 10:44 |
| psi-jack | I see no reason why Ubuntu can't find the / partition, unless it's plain just not loading lvm at all, before trying. | 10:44 |
| TheNano | zetheroo: what is you hardware , pc model | 10:44 |
| Anarhist | hmm, well it doesn't for me | 10:44 |
| mrgenericuser | what i meant was that when i did tech work, i kept a usb wireless card available for testing. maybe the drivers for your internal nics have been depricated, or need to be installed after you install the new version. | 10:44 |
| zetheroo1 | TheNano: 03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5212 802.11abg NIC (rev 01) | 10:45 |
| sambo | I haven't updated ubuntu for along time, then yesterday, I updated ubuntu hardy, but now my installation is broken; the wireless is not detected, the nvidia card is not detected, etc.. please help me | 10:45 |
| zetheroo1 | how do I check which driver I am using for my wifi | 10:45 |
| zetheroo1 | ? | 10:45 |
| mrgenericuser | luomo, what is your laptop model number? | 10:46 |
| Anarhist | i currently have only 1 package that gets selected when i run aptoncd, and that is ... aptoncd | 10:46 |
| luomo | ok but they are working fine with windows and even when i use them with Ubuntu 7.10 wired connection is working and in KDE wireless as well as wired both are working | 10:46 |
| luomo | my laptop no is: Presario V6316TU | 10:47 |
| Dr_Willis | !clone | 10:47 |
| ubottu | To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 10:47 |
| martinjh99 | !automate | 10:48 |
| ubottu | Ways to automate installation of Ubuntu on multiple machines are described at https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/installation-guide/i386/automatic-install.html - See also !cloning | 10:48 |
| Dr_Willis | Anarhist: perhaps alter that 'clone' command examples to do --download-only | 10:48 |
| gst-kaps | is there anyway I can fix my partition table ? | 10:49 |
| DaZ | testdisk? :f | 10:49 |
| Anarhist | ok, i'll see what i can do | 10:49 |

| icarus-c | Crash21081: well you may boot without X | 10:55 |
| scott1 | ? | 10:55 |
| Dr_Willis | 'splashtop' is fun :) linux on the bios. | 10:55 |
| Crash21081 | Will that speed up boot times considerably? | 10:56 |
| xlq | Crash21081: you can use X with just a simple window manager, or you can use svgalib or something...not sure what you're aiming for | 10:56 |
| icarus-c | Crash21081: you will save the time for loading the X | 10:56 |
| Crash21081 | I'm aiming for <30 second boot time for <$100 extra. | 10:56 |
| Dr_Willis | Crash21081: tiny core linux boots in abotu that time | 10:56 |
| * DaZ boots in 10 :o | 10:57 | |
| xlq | Crash21081: I have <30 second boot time with not-so-minimal Ubuntu :) | 10:57 |
| xlq | DaZ: well done :O | 10:57 |
| Dr_Willis | I dont worry about 50+sec boot times.. when i get 50+ days uptime. | 10:57 |
| icarus-c | 9.04 fresh install booted and started GNOME session within 10 seconds here.. | 10:57 |

| scott1 | alot of stuff isnt sufficient enough on it | 10:58 |
| * icarus-c hates whatever Microsoft OS | 10:58 | |
| scott1 | i was wondering if possible to get like a windows xp/ubuntu partition going | 10:58 |
| scott1 | but dont think my hardware will work with xp will it? | 10:58 |
| Dr_Willis | scott1: I dual boot xp/ubuntu all the time with no problems. | 10:59 |
| icarus-c | scott1: well... no PC hardware doesn't work with windows XP i suppose.. | 10:59 |
| purplenurple | personally i love MS ... it provides me with more work | 10:59 |
| Dr_Willis | no idea about your hardware.... or its xp compat. | 10:59 |
| Edico | hi | 10:59 |

| scott1 | its a hp laptop yes | 10:59 |
| Dr_Willis | scott1: figure iyut what you want to do.. then figure out how to do it. | 10:59 |
| Dr_Willis | You could learn to use linux for a while.. and backup your data somewhere safe.. and ifyou want.. reinstall windows later. | 11:00 |
| DaZ | then i don't reccomend getting xp there <: | 11:01 |
| scott1 | Hp laptop, dv 51113us. I want to have windows XP on here, along with ubuntu and recovery partition, ubuntu and xp split drive with minimal recovery size, i would love to jus get rid of vista 64 however i hear speakers ... video card... wont work correct | 11:01 |

| Crash21081 | What is WINE exactly? Apparently Wine is not an emulator... But as I understand it, that's what it does. | 11:02 |
| DaZ | Crash21081, api implementation :f | 11:03 |
| Dr_Willis | Crash21081: not in my definition of an emulator. | 11:03 |

| Flannel | Crash21081: It's an ABI compatability layer. | 11:03 |
| rek | whiich program could i use to watch tv.... | 11:03 |
| Dr_Willis | 'vice' is an emulator. :) it emulates the actual C64 hardware. | 11:03 |
| Crash21081 | So it's just somewhere for teh WinAPI calls to go? | 11:03 |
| scott1 | I dont get it | 11:03 |
| psi-jack | APPARENTLY the only safe way to install Ubuntu on LVM'd /, is through the Alternative install, and apparently the only way to use custom LVM options when creating them is through the Live desktop environment. | 11:03 |

| scott1 | Ubuntu is just | 11:03 |

| scott1 | can it do everything windows can? | 11:03 |
| Dr_Willis | scott1: it does everything I need basically. its a full fetured OS. | 11:04 |

| Dr_Willis | scott1: bookmarks? thats why i use those social-bookmarking sites like delicious :) | 11:23 |
| scott1 | what is delicious? | 11:24 |
| Dr_Willis | you may need to manually mount your ntfs filesystems scott1 they may not auto-mount if windows crashed and flagged them as in use. | 11:24 |
| xlq | del.icio.us | 11:24 |

| Dr_Willis | scott1: try a 'sudo apt-get update' 'sudo apt-get upgrade' then try to install it again | 11:28 |
| scott1 | wats sudo | 11:29 |
| DigitalKiwi | !sudo | 11:29 |
| ubottu | sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) | 11:29 |
| kiaas_ | so, uninstalling pulseaudio so ALSA handles everything more directly is just sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio? | 11:29 |
| psi-jack | kiaas_: I'd do purge, instead of just remove. | 11:29 |
| oldude67 | kiaas_, i just uninstalled it from synaptics. | 11:29 |
| kiaas_ | psi-jack, k. | 11:30 |
| psi-jack | Speaking of package management though.. | 11:30 |
| Roland | grawity, I changed it to the lithuanian server, but it still tries to connect the estonian server in the end | 11:30 |
| psi-jack | OpenSUSE has the ability to lock a package from even being installed (or uninstalled), does apt/dpkg yet have such a feature? | 11:30 |
| SchighSchagh | kiaas_: sooo you're having trouble with sound? are you on 9.04? did you upgrade from an earlier distro? | 11:30 |
| psi-jack | SchighSchagh: It's PulseAudio, it's known to suck, period. | 11:31 |
| Keiffer | I had added a new keyboard layout, switch is set to both alt keys but i can't switch them. Not even for test | 11:31 |
| Dr_Willis | ive had no issues wuth Pulse Audio | 11:32 |
| Dr_Willis | :) | 11:32 |
| kiaas_ | SchighSchagh, nope. 8.04 and 8.10 freezes before starting X on my hardware, so rather than screwing around in CLI in an area I'm most unfamiliar with I tried one of the 9.04 Betas, and it worked. and the sound issue is new. 10 days of uptime and sound screwed up | 11:32 |
| grawity | Roland: How did you change it? Is the new server in /etc/apt/sources.list? | 11:32 |
| kiaas_ | 10 days, 22 hours, before all sound died. | 11:32 |
| rodolfo | hi there! i have a problem with external hdd. i need to format an external lacie 500gb. i tried to use gnome format, but when i do it says "Error opening /dev/sdb: permission denied" this occurs also with other devices. should i try to fix this or try a better application? thanks | 11:32 |
| psi-jack | Dr_Willis: Pretty much most of what PulseAudio can do, ALSA already does without the need of wasting CPU cycles re-mixing sounds. | 11:32 |
| SchighSchagh | kiaas_: umm, you're running an 9.04 beta?? | 11:32 |
| kiaas_ | SchighSchagh, No. I've updated since then xD | 11:33 |
| Dr_Willis | never figured out how to get alsa to play sounds out of the pc in the living room from here. :P | 11:33 |
| DaZ | pulseaudio? :f | 11:33 |
| ubuntunewbie | hi again , :) I am having a problem when install a .deb can someone help me ? Error: Dependancy is not satifiable: libcairomm-1.0-1 | 11:33 |
| psi-jack | Dr_Willis: Heh, sheash.. | 11:33 |
| psi-jack | Dr_Willis: NFS man! NFS! :p | 11:34 |
| psi-jack | Dr_Willis: Actually depends on why exactly you'd want to. | 11:34 |
| SchighSchagh | kiaas_: reason I bring this up is because PA was misconfigured in 8.10, and probably in 9.04 beta as well. a clean 9.04 install should set it up right, but upgrading from 8.10 or 9.04 beta can leave legacy (and incorrect) config files | 11:34 |
| * Dr_Willis uses pulse audio to send sublimimal sound messages to the wifes pc in her bedroom from the basement | 11:34 | |
| Dr_Willis | :) | 11:34 |
| Keiffer | Do you know that ESPEAK has bugs in Ubuntu 9.04? | 11:34 |
| psi-jack | Dr_Willis: Heh. esound could do that too. heh | 11:34 |
| odonata | is thera any risk with removing indicator applet ? | 11:35 |
| odonata | which spams the auth.log | 11:35 |
| psi-jack | Dr_Willis: Or simply just remote logging in and playing the sound from within it. | 11:35 |
| mrgenericuser | rek, did chmod work? | 11:35 |
| kiaas_ | SchighSchagh, so why would I not get problems until after ~11 days of uptime? | 11:35 |
| Dr_Willis | psi-jack: I was thinkign you cant do that remotely any more - wrong owner of the snd devices... | 11:35 |
| rodolfo | no-one? | 11:35 |
| SchighSchagh | kiaas_: have you tried http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=789578 | 11:35 |
| SchighSchagh | kiaas_: I have no idea | 11:35 |
| psi-jack | Dr_Willis: Sure can. | 11:35 |
| ubuntunewbie | thank you | 11:36 |
| oldude67 | rodolfo, is the drive mounted? | 11:36 |
| rodolfo | oldude67: yes | 11:37 |
| odonata | anyone else had this problem? with dbus-daemon | 11:37 |
| blip- | hi all, out of nowhere evolution suddenly started exhibiting a strange behaviour when I'm composing mail... whenever I type the t character, it opens up a window for adding attachments... the keyboard shortcut for that is meant to be alt-v to open the View menu and then T..... so why is it opening that window when I'm just typing an email ? I can bypass by using capital T instead... which I can't do for obvious reasons. any thoughts ? thanks | 11:38 |
| oldude67 | rodolfo, try gparted? and i dont think you can do that while its mounted.. | 11:38 |
| ubuntunewbie | Having problem with Error: Dependancy is not satifiable: libcairomm-1.0-1.I had install libcairomm but still getting the error .Hope someone ca explain the error. | 11:38 |
| rodolfo | oldude67: ah..so i should unmount first..i try | 11:38 |
| ubuntunewbie | Thnak you | 11:38 |
| ubuntunewbie | Thank you | 11:38 |
| rodolfo | oldude67: just tried unmounting..same problem | 11:39 |
| Dr_Willis | rodolfo: i tend to use a live cd. and gparted from the live d's for my partitioning needs | 11:40 |
| th0r | ubuntunewbie: libcairomm-dev | 11:40 |
| ubuntunewbie | th0r: haven't install that | 11:40 |
| ubuntunewbie | th0r: trying now | 11:41 |
| karex | HI, how to send files computer-to-computer via bluetooth? | 11:41 |
| rodolfo | Dr-willis: i don't need to do partitions..just have to format an external drive | 11:41 |
| rodolfo | Dr_Willis: i don't need to do partitions..just have to format an external drive | 11:41 |
| Dr_Willis | rodolfo: you dont really need gparted for that.. | 11:42 |
| Dr_Willis | rodolfo: whenya plug it in.. ubuntu tries to munt it.. unmount it (right cick icon, unmount) then run gparted and it should let it format. | 11:42 |
| rodolfo | Dr_Willis: no infact..i was reading the description right now | 11:42 |
| Dr_Willis | rodolfo: use the mkfs.XXXXX command. | 11:43 |
| rodolfo | Dr_Willis: what's that? | 11:43 |
| Dr_Willis | rodolfo: the command line tool that 'makes a filesystem' ie: formats. :) | 11:43 |
| Dr_Willis | rodolfo: for example 'sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/sdi1' - formats my flash drive :) | 11:44 |
| rodolfo | Dr_Willis: .vfat says to format in FAT, isn't it? | 11:44 |
| ubuntunewbie | th0r: still getting the same error | 11:45 |
| Dr_Willis | yes vfat = msdos/fat32 | 11:45 |
| karex | HI, how to send files computer-to-computer via wireless?? | 11:45 |
| oldude67 | Dr_Willis, but i am right, as it shouldnt be mounted? | 11:45 |
| Dr_Willis | karex: if they can ping each other... theres numerous ways.. scp is one way | 11:45 |
| Dr_Willis | oldude67: you dont want to format a mounted fileysstem :) | 11:46 |
| karex | !scp | 11:46 |
| ubottu | SCP is a secure way of copying files across networks using !SSH. Usage: scp filename user@host:filename - WinSCP is a client for Windows, available at http://winscp.net/ | 11:46 |
| karex | Dr_Willis: is there a GUI for that? | 11:46 |
| Dr_Willis | karex: why would you need one. :) | 11:47 |
| Dr_Willis | that would be.... gparted... :P | 11:47 |
| th0r | ubuntunewbie: what are you trying to install? | 11:47 |
| === maciek is now known as Guest92797 | ||
| TheNano | karex: YES | 11:47 |
| ubuntunewbie | th0r: chess | 11:48 |
| rodolfo | Dr_Willis: i've installed gparted..ehm..i don't find it.. | 11:48 |
| karex | TheNano: what's that? | 11:48 |
| th0r | ubuntunewbie: synaptic doesn't have a package named chess | 11:48 |
| ubuntunewbie | th0r: other chess game | 11:48 |
| Dr_Willis | rodolfo: run it from the terminal perhaps? | 11:49 |
| Dr_Willis | gksudo gparted | 11:49 |
| TheNano | karex: nautilus will do , just go to places connect to server and ... ssh , you maybe will need openssh-sftp-server installed | 11:49 |
| th0r | ubuntunewbie: synaptic doesn't have a package named other chess game | 11:49 |
| Dr_Willis | gksudo gparted /dev/sdb or whatever.... | 11:49 |
| ubuntunewbie | th0r: .deb is one of the file and also got a file with tar.bz2 but the file got a lot of .sh and .in how to install that ? | 11:49 |
| karex | TheNano: is it mean one should be server?? | 11:50 |
| ubuntunewbie | th0r: synaptic doesn't have the ches.It's call gmchess | 11:50 |
| karex | TheNano: is it mean one of them should be server?? | 11:50 |
| th0r | ubuntunewbie: where did you get the package? | 11:50 |
| mars | hi | 11:50 |
| ubuntunewbie | th0r: http://code.google.com/p/gmchess/downloads/list | 11:50 |
| rodolfo | DR_Willis: yeah..there it is | 11:51 |
| psi-jack | Alrighty then! Okay, so how do I enable xinerama dualscreen support now? heh | 11:51 |
| mars | how do i cd into a directory permanently from within a script= | 11:51 |
| zvacet | ubuntunewbie: uncompres tar.bz2 with right click on package and then try to find install file | 11:51 |
| Dr_Willis | mars: permently? | 11:51 |
| mars | i want to use $ mycommand in bash and cd into /tmp | 11:51 |
| mars | for example | 11:51 |
| Dr_Willis | cd whatever | 11:51 |
| Dr_Willis | next line of script | 11:51 |
| mars | but my problem is that another shell is executed and then closed | 11:51 |
| HaRDaWaY | hi | 11:51 |
| ubuntunewbie | zvacet: how to install ? | 11:51 |
| HaRDaWaY | :) | 11:51 |
| grawity | mars: That's just how it works -- you cannot do that with a shell script. You'll need to use either an alias, or a shell function. | 11:52 |
| rodolfo | DR_Willis: ok, i select the drive>right click>format to FAT32>apply | 11:52 |
| oldude67 | ubuntunewbie, you will have to read the install readme. | 11:52 |
| mars | grawity: where do i define global functions? | 11:52 |
| rodolfo | DR_Willis: isn't it? | 11:52 |
| Dr_Willis | rodolfo: yes basically - its not too hard to figure out. | 11:52 |
| mars | so i can execute them from my shell | 11:52 |
| grawity | mars: Your ~/.bashrc would probably be the best place. | 11:52 |
| zvacet | ubuntunewbie: instructions should be in install file or read me file | 11:52 |
| mars | cool i will try that | 11:52 |
| Dr_Willis | mars: back up.. You have a lot of scripts.. you wan tto be able to execute by just typing their names at teh shell? | 11:53 |
| rodolfo | DR_Willis: no infact..i just don't want to throw in the dustbin my new drive :) | 11:53 |
| grawity | mars: If it's only a single command, aliases would probably be enough. (alias t='cd /tmp') But for anything more complicated - functions. | 11:53 |
| ubuntunewbie | zvacet: notinh on read me 0byte | 11:53 |
| th0r | ubuntunewbie: I don't see a deb file on that page, but the bz2 file is the source code and needs to be compiled | 11:53 |

| th0r | ubuntunewbie: just a sec...working on it | 11:54 |

| mars | i have now my function, but it calls 2 other functions (for modularity) | 11:57 |
| mars | i do not want to pollute my namespace | 11:57 |

| TheNano | kamil: no | 11:57 |
| kebomix | hello ; i want to make current home in separate partition to be able to install kubuntu with my old home | 11:57 |
| Dr_Willis | mars: perhaps time to check out some examples from the 'advanced bash scripting guide' ? | 11:57 |
| karex | TheNano: OK, it's in progress... | 11:57 |
| grawity | mars: I din't think there's such a thing. (bash manpage might give some information) | 11:58 |
| mars | Dr_Willis: i guess ;p | 11:58 |

| TheNano | kebomix: so you want to use the same USER ? | 11:59 |
| Dr_Willis | Keiffer: you mean via samba shares? | 11:59 |
| ubuntunewbie | th0r: huh ? same problem ? | 11:59 |
| TheNano | Keiffer: yes , encrypt it | 11:59 |
| kebomix | TheNano: i mean i want my firefox bookmarks and settings includsed on it :) | 11:59 |
| krg_ | Why, when i add SCALA_HOME/bin to my path in /etc/environment is this location not accessible after boot/session start. If i manually source the environment file after session start the SCALA_HOME/bin is available. | 11:59 |
| ubuntunewbie | zvacet: i did install libcairomm-1.0-1 but having the same problem | 11:59 |
| Keiffer | TheNano, i would encrypt my whole / but i saw that i need to reinstall it | 11:59 |
| th0r | ubuntunewbie: dependencies that I can't meet with synaptic. Looks like it uses libs that are later versions than are available for Jaunty | 11:59 |
| grawity | krg_: Adding it to ~/.bashrc would probably be better :\ | 12:00 |
| karex | TheNano: please give a short "theory" to do that, I should go out for a while... | 12:00 |
| Pirate_Hunter | got the hardy backport package for pidgin (finch) and pidgin-facebookchat but the list of users shows on startup than disapears anyone know a fix? | 12:00 |
| TheNano | Keiffer: encrypt just your home ,it's safer | 12:00 |
| rodolfo | DR_Willis: looks like it worked.. | 12:00 |
| karex | TheNano: I mean how to get the server name | 12:00 |
| kebomix | TheNano: well for now i just want home in separate partition | 12:01 |
| Keiffer | TheNano, how? what would you use to do that? | 12:01 |
| ubuntunewbie | th0r: oh.. I am using hardy | 12:01 |
| TheNano | karex: write just ifconfig and you will see the ipadress for the server | 12:01 |
| Keiffer | TheNano, I doo need home to store all the info... xchat logs for ex | 12:01 |
| zvacet | th0r: it is in synaptic that is why I don´t understand what make troubles | 12:01 |

| sky1 | grawity: that doesnt work | 12:02 |
| prizren | anyone know about this canon printer driver for cups | 12:02 |
| Keiffer | TheNano, yes. What I want to say is that, if i encrypt it, how the programs will know to decrypt it in order to store info | 12:02 |
| TheNano | karex: why ? do you want to copy files or have internet shared ? | 12:02 |
| Dr_Willis | prizren: some exist.. some work.. some are totally unsupported. check cups.org web site for your specific make | 12:03 |
| th0r | ubuntunewbie: I just tried to compile it and that won't work either. Like I just told you...the compile wants versions of libs that I can't get through synpatic. You would have to download the source for the libs and compile them, then compile the program | 12:03 |
| karex | TheNano: i want to copy a file | 12:03 |

| kiaas_ | prizren, Yeah. I have a canon printer. I had to get the driver off of one of their Asian support sites, it wasn't on the one for North America | 12:03 |
| TheNano | Keiffer: you nned to give the key when you login and then it is open to your programs until you log out | 12:03 |
| prizren | i have installed a driver Dr_Willis kiaas_ | 12:03 |
| Dr_Willis | prizren: for my canon printer i plug it in.. and it works... | 12:04 |
| TheNano | kamil: are you connected to any wifi network | 12:04 |
| kiaas_ | prizren, eh, then if it still isn't workign I can't help ya. | 12:04 |
| kamil | TheNano: no | 12:04 |
| prizren | yes, i have it all installed kiaas_ Dr_Willis but i dont get any results or error messages. | 12:04 |
| ubuntunewbie | th0r: so you mean it need a specific version of libcairomm-1.0-1 which it's not at synaptic .I need to find the specific libcairomm-1.0-1 and compile it.But which one I should find ? | 12:04 |
| kamil | TheNano: I can't see any through network manager | 12:05 |
| TheNano | kamil: when you are connected it will write a ESSID there for you | 12:05 |
| Keiffer | TheNano, How? | 12:05 |
| Dr_Willis | prizren: check the cups logs perhaps... | 12:05 |
| prizren | ok cups log good idea | 12:05 |
| TheNano | kamil: you mean like there is awifi network here but you cant see it ? | 12:05 |
| th0r | ubuntunewbie: after you got that you would have to do the same for libgtkmm...that is where I ran into the problem trying to compile. And if you try to compile those you will probably find they require something else, that requires something else. I wouldn't advise even trying it | 12:06 |

| kamil | TheNano: When I click on the network manager icon with left click it says "no network devices has been found" and "manual configuration" | 12:08 |
| tuxbuddy | Anyone out there? | 12:08 |
| Dr_Willis | !ask | tuxbuddy | 12:08 |
| ubottu | tuxbuddy: 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. :-) | 12:08 |
| tuxbuddy | Thanks Dr_Wilis | 12:08 |
| tuxbuddy | I am new to Xchat | 12:08 |
| ubuntunewbie | th0r: so complicated :S .Just wondering is there any link of ubuntu forum or website which teach step by step compiling ? I wanted to learn more | 12:08 |
| TheNano | Keiffer: here you got a guide from one of ubuntu devs http://blog.dustinkirkland.com/2009/06/migrating-to-encrypted-home-directory.html | 12:08 |
| TheNano | kamil: no network device mmm | 12:09 |
| Keiffer | TheNano, thank you Sir! | 12:09 |
| tuxbuddy | I am in search of Chat Server to setup on my Fedora Machine which can support more than 800+ users online | 12:09 |
| tuxbuddy | Can Xchat Support it? | 12:09 |
| Dr_Willis | tuxbuddy: xchat is not an irc 'server' - its an irc client. | 12:09 |
| tuxbuddy | Ok..Thanks | 12:09 |
| tuxbuddy | CAn I setup IRC Server? | 12:10 |
| Dr_Willis | this is linux.. 'of course you can' | 12:10 |
| tuxbuddy | Whats name of IRC Server? | 12:10 |
| oldude67 | tuxbuddy, why ask that in ubuntu if your using fedora? | 12:10 |
| grawity | tuxbuddy: There are many. | 12:10 |
| Dr_Willis | !irc | 12:10 |
| ubottu | A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines | 12:10 |
| Dr_Willis | !info ircd | 12:10 |
| ubottu | Package ircd does not exist in jaunty | 12:10 |
| tuxbuddy | I am now in Ubuntu .. | 12:10 |
| grawity | tuxbuddy: You'd better ask in #freenode though - the guys there are most experienced with those things. | 12:10 |
| kamil | TheNano: ifconfig -a says wlan0 is UP and has HW address | 12:10 |
| Q| | Someone an idea why my xchat makes no beep sound on a highlight even though it is set up to do so? Everything else is working (tab colored, taskbar flashing etc.), but no sound. It did that in the past but I don't know what I could've changed | 12:10 |
| tuxbuddy | But need to setup for My Intranet | 12:10 |
| tuxbuddy | For my Company project Guys | 12:11 |
| Dr_Willis | tuxbuddy: you may have a bit of research to do. Theres many irc 'servers' out - check teh package manager to see whats in there, | 12:11 |
| Dr_Willis | tuxbuddy: or check out 'jabber' | 12:11 |
| grawity | tuxbuddy: Many like InspIRCd. Freenode runs Hyperion, but it's quite old. UnrealIRCd is very popular, but it just plain sucks. | 12:11 |
| crashflow | if I install ubuntu 9.10 alpha now and install all updates, will I end up with the release version when it is released? or will I lack some features forever if I do not install the final version / release candidate? | 12:11 |
| tuxbuddy | Jabber is acuired by Cisco | 12:11 |
| grawity | tuxbuddy: You could use XMPP (Jabber) instead. | 12:11 |
| tuxbuddy | Acquired by Cisco..:( | 12:11 |
| Dr_Willis | crashflow: You can update | 12:11 |
| Dr_Willis | !jabber | 12:11 |
| ubottu | jabber is a free and open source instant messaging protocol, unlike MSN and AIM. Supporting clients on Linux: Kopete (KDE), Pidgin (GNOME). For more info see http://www.jabber.org | 12:11 |
| grawity | tuxbuddy: XMPP is _still_ a completely open standard. | 12:11 |
| tuxbuddy | XMPP | 12:11 |
| Pirate_Hunter | anyone here had a problem with pidgin connecting to facebook if so how did they fix the problem? | 12:12 |
| TheNano | kamil: I'm not right guy for such a test , I will now take a look on my laptop to see if it is the same as you get , what w as your wifi hardware | 12:12 |
| tuxbuddy | XMPP..Lemme Explore | 12:12 |
| tuxbuddy | Does XMPP saves the Chat session too? | 12:12 |
| notjoe | this is a little off topic but maybe you guys can help me | 12:12 |
| grawity | tuxbuddy: Saving the chat logs is a feature of the client, not the server. | 12:13 |
| crashflow | Dr_Willis, what about new themes for ubuntu 9.10? will I get everything that the user of the final release has if I continuously update? | 12:13 |
| Dr_Willis | tuxbuddy: you could always make a logging client. :) | 12:13 |
| kamil | TheNano: manual configuration is probably for setting up your own wifi network right? | 12:13 |
| tuxbuddy | Does Xchat Do Have that feature? | 12:13 |
| Dr_Willis | crashflow: ubuntu is upgradeable.. thats a main feature.. | 12:13 |
| grawity | tuxbuddy: No. | 12:13 |
| grawity | tuxbuddy: Xchat is _IRC_ client - not XMPP/Jabber. | 12:13 |
| notjoe | i have my laptop hooked up to speakers to play music and i am looking for a program to run under ubuntu that i can use my iphone to connect to , to control what songs get played | 12:13 |
| Dr_Willis | tuxbuddy: xchat is a client - it can save logs... | 12:13 |
| tuxbuddy | How Can I have that feature? | 12:13 |
| tuxbuddy | Okie | 12:13 |
| grawity | tuxbuddy: All IM and IRC clients support logging. But Xchat doesn't support XMPP. | 12:14 |
| Dr_Willis | tuxbuddy: perhaps hit F1 and read the xchat help docs. | 12:14 |
| tuxbuddy | One more feature- Can I integrate Server to My ADS | 12:14 |
| grawity | tuxbuddy: For what purpose exactly you need that? | 12:14 |
| TheNano | kamil: yes, but normally you don't need that | 12:14 |
| Roland | why does ccpd keep segfaulting whenever i start it? | 12:14 |
| tuxbuddy | Grawity..We have Microsoft Outlook for all Professionals who believe in windows.I have ateam who wants seperate Chat Server setup but Creating different account is cumbersome.On Integrating with ADS they can login with the same username and password | 12:15 |
| kamil | TheNano: I think last time I installed this wifi all I needed was click on Network Manager and choose wifi as wlan0 and that was it after I could see at least a few networks | 12:16 |
| TheNano | kamil: I have jaunty and it is not like that there is no manual configuration ... sorry , make you question more specific and long maybe the others can help you | 12:16 |
| grawity | tuxbuddy: ADS = Active Directory? | 12:16 |
| tuxbuddy | Thats why I want to setup Chat Server and Client on Fedora Server....Yes | 12:16 |
| tuxbuddy | Yes | 12:16 |
| kamil | TheNano: now only thing I can do is Edit wireless networks | 12:16 |
| tuxbuddy | Its Active Directory Server | 12:16 |
| TheNano | kamil: yes it is as you say | 12:16 |
| grawity | tuxbuddy: AD uses LDAP, so I'm sure ejabberd, for example, supports something like that. | 12:17 |
| Dr_Willis | tuxbuddy: then why are you asking about Fedora in #ubuntu? :) | 12:17 |
| kamil | TheNano: only the problem is that there are none :) | 12:17 |
| tuxbuddy | ejabberd ? | 12:17 |
| === sale_ is now known as sale | ||
| TheNano | kamil: du you use ubuntu Networkmanager? | 12:17 |
| grawity | tuxbuddy: One of the most popular XMPP servers. | 12:17 |
| bullgard4 | Does Ubuntu provide a DEB program package for the SIP phone 'X-Lite'? | 12:17 |
| Dr_Willis | !info X-lite | 12:17 |
| ubottu | Package X-lite does not exist in jaunty | 12:17 |
| kamil | TheNano: yes the one that came up with installation | 12:17 |
| tuxbuddy | Sorry Guys..I knew yu guys Really Sound Great Experts.. | 12:17 |
| TheNano | bullgard4: no i guess | 12:18 |
| Q| | Has anybody configured hist xChat to beep on highlighted messages? And does it work, actually making a sound on a highlight? (I'm on Jaunty) | 12:18 |
| bullgard4 | TheNano: Thank you. | 12:18 |
| tuxbuddy | SO You guys think ejabberd is the One I need to go for | 12:19 |
| bumbula | hi all, do i need to install windows to run wine ....just want to install winamp | 12:19 |
| Q| | bumbula: No, you don't have to | 12:19 |
| Dr_Willis | bumbula: wine dosent use windows.. | 12:19 |
| todd_chambery | try xmms | 12:19 |
| Dr_Willis | bumbula: and theres players for linux that do most everything winamp does. | 12:19 |
| Q| | bumbula: It's the reason why you actually want wine, right ^^ | 12:19 |
| bumbula | ahhh ok thyx a lot :-) | 12:19 |
| Q| | ^^ | 12:19 |
| Dr_Willis | !xmms | 12:19 |
| ubottu | xmms is no longer being developed, see http://bugs.debian.org/461309 for more details. Consider using audacious, bmpx, or xmms2 instead. | 12:19 |
| Slart | Q|: I don't use xchat myself but considering the amount of customization you can do with it I'd be very surprised if there wasn't one person out there using "beep" on highligh | 12:19 |

| tuxbuddy | ejabberd ...can I find it on apt-get source repo | 12:20 |
| tuxbuddy | If I want to install it in UBuntu | 12:20 |
| Q| | Slart: So I actually need to figure out if it's a bug or if I've just made a mistake with something | 12:21 |
| tuxbuddy | Yes..Its there | 12:21 |
| tuxbuddy | apt-get install ejabberd | 12:21 |
| Slart | Q|: possible.. it's not just a configuration thing for pulseaudio? | 12:21 |
| tuxbuddy | grawity.. | 12:21 |
| tuxbuddy | Thats Really | 12:21 |
| tuxbuddy | great | 12:21 |
| Q| | Slart: Actually I'm quite sure it has to do something with PA, but I wouldn't know where to look at | 12:21 |
| todd_chambery | Q: Is there a way to disable minimize in the gnome taskbar? | 12:21 |

| oldude67 | foxfessel, yes | 12:24 |
| tuxbuddy | How Can I restrict root to ssh from the remote machine? | 12:24 |

| Q| | Slart: This would be the preferred solution btw, since I would like my PC-Speaker to be used, so I can hear it even if my Speakers are turned off | 12:26 |
| grawity | tuxbuddy: "PermitRootLogins no" | 12:26 |
| TheNano | foxfessel: there is documentation on ubuntu.com and the wiki and the forum you should search by you hardware and some words for you problem if no luck then come back here, but someone maybe have time to help you anyway | 12:26 |
| Slart | Q|: have a look in system, preferences, sound... on the "Sounds" tab.. "Play alert sound" | 12:26 |
| Slart | Q|: I think that one has to be checked for the pc speaker beep to work | 12:26 |
| bidossessi | Slart, i'm talking about pre-GUI | 12:26 |
| foxfessel | Thanks! I'll give it a try.. =) | 12:26 |
| Psi-Jack | Well. Now that I have Ubuntu (or, rather, Kubuntu), installed. I'm actually somewhat impressed. | 12:27 |
| Slart | bidossessi: huh? | 12:27 |
| Q| | Slart: I've checked it now, has been unchecked. I can play the test sound and it plays fine with PA showing me that it's working, too. | 12:27 |
| bidossessi | Slart, it beeps erratically, as if, for instance a key was being pressed too long during POST | 12:27 |
| Q| | Slart: But still no sound in the terminal or with xChat | 12:28 |
| Slart | bidossessi: I'm discussing how to enable beep on highligh in xchat =).. I have no idea about your problem.. sorry | 12:28 |

| Slart | Q|: oh.. so it's kind of working now? perhaps it had to .. clear its throat? =) | 12:29 |
| Q| | Slart: The PC-Speaker is being used now. Just because of the checkbox you mentioned ^^ Somehow I can't make any sense out of it, but it worked at least :) | 12:29 |

| mrgenericuser | bidossessi, try running memtest and hard drive tests to make sure something isnt being currupted. if all else fails, you could unplug the pc speaker from the motherboard ;) | 13:02 |

| nascentmind | masquerade, well the linksys admin page does not have an option of generating a key. | 15:41 |
| L3dPlatedLinux | how would i make the screen scroll able in the server? not being able to read output | 15:41 |

| boss_mc | Kapli: is there a file system on the SSD card? | 15:42 |
| boss_mc | Kapli: I'd have thought you should be mounting /dev/sde1 or something like that | 15:42 |
| Kapli | no, its just the sd card from my camera | 15:42 |
| nascentmind | masquerade, no i don't want to. i will just type out a big passphrase. | 15:42 |
| Kapli | i dont know | 15:42 |
| nascentmind | masquerade, just wanted to know whether its a hardcoded one or truly machine generated. | 15:43 |

| GuidMorrow | is card reader installed | 15:46 |
| boss_mc | Kapli: that's strange, you say that /dev/sde does exist? | 15:46 |
| masquerade | nascentmind: you dont need any drivers for a router | 15:46 |
| Qu4R0w | solenopsis: that ok n tq for reply | 15:46 |
| Kapli | im saying it doesnt, or at least it doesnt show up in gparted | 15:46 |
| solenopsis | Qu4R0w: You're welcome | 15:46 |
| llutz | user01: and don't do that for root | 15:47 |
| Kapli | GuidMorrow, yes I believe its installed as running lsscsi gives me this "[2:0:0:3] disk TEAC USB HS-SD Card 4.00 /dev/sde" | 15:47 |
| nascentmind | masquerade, yes. this was a small software which comes with it which helps you setup the modem rather than go through the admin page. it works on windows and mac though. | 15:47 |
| GuidMorrow | is card inserted all the way in? | 15:47 |

| Qu4R0w | any1 know what tool can i use to see who connected to my wireless?? | 15:48 |
| morecowbell | oh i thought it'd be #ubuntu-netbook | 15:48 |
| nascentmind | masquerade, yes. its just a convenience rather than going through the admin page to set it up to prevent missing something. | 15:48 |

| morecowbell | is there a reinstall command for apt? | 15:49 |
| thiebaude | morecowbell, in synaptic | 15:50 |
| nascentmind | masquerade, anyways will change the preshared key. are uuid's good enough. it has a good set of alphabets and numerals. | 15:50 |
| Kapli | yeah I have taken it out and put it back inside many times now :p | 15:50 |
| Richi_rich | hello bonek rock... | 15:50 |
| neil_d | morecowbell: theres the dpkg-reconfigure command | 15:50 |
| GuidMorrow | did you try reading the card through your camera in disk mode? | 15:50 |
| masquerade | nascentmind: okay | 15:50 |
| Kapli | the card works in my camera | 15:51 |
| morecowbell | neil_d: that might work i'll give it a try | 15:51 |
| Kapli | it also works in windows on the same pc and it also works in my laptop | 15:51 |
| GuidMorrow | oh great. | 15:51 |
| Kapli | anyway it hikn the problem must be with these 3 lines in my dmesg: usb 5-3: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 4 & sd 4:0:0:3: Device offlined - not ready after error recovery & sd 4:0:0:3: rejecting I/O to offline device | 15:51 |

| grawity | morecowbell: apt-get install -f? | 15:52 |
| GuidMorrow | Kapli: what does that mean | 15:52 |
| legend2440 | morecowbell: firefox 3.0 or 3.5? | 15:53 |
| arand | Steve^: yep, and you'll prbably have to reinstall grub, look for guides on it. | 15:53 |
| morecowbell | Steve^: yeah it will. it's easiest to install windows 7 on a dedicated partition and then install ubuntu | 15:53 |
| Kapli | i have no idea, was hoping someone here knew :D | 15:53 |

| arand | speedhunt3r: my reccomendation would be to disable compiz "metacity --replace&disown" whilst playing, and re-enable it "compiz --replace &disown" afterwards. | 15:54 |
| GuidMorrow | it's 8GB, the card is likely a FAT32 filesystem | 15:54 |
| GuidMorrow | anything above 2GB has a FAT32 filesystem in it | 15:55 |
| speedhunt3r | arand, i'll try that and try hitting control to see if the mouse polls | 15:55 |
| GuidMorrow | of course, anything above 32GB has to be formatted to NTFS - Windows 2000/XP proprietary filesystem | 15:56 |

| xiphos | or at least use the same driver / hardware? | 16:08 |

| Halitech | LaveliDeara, IIS is for windows only | 16:16 |
| flintwingel | LaveliDeara: IIS is Microsoft's web server and runs under Windows Server | 16:16 |
| LaveliDeara | is it possible to install it under VM | 16:16 |
| legend2440 | younes: sudo apt-get install linux-source but on my jaunty that would download linux-source-2.6.28 not 30 | 16:17 |
| Halitech | LaveliDeara, should be possible | 16:17 |
| flintwingel | LaveliDeara: yes you can install in a VM, but it'll need Windows first | 16:17 |
| Halitech | LaveliDeara, do you *need* IIS or do you just need a web server? | 16:17 |
| LaveliDeara | Halitech: I need IIS | 16:18 |
| lstarnes | LaveliDeara: why do you need it? | 16:18 |
| Padhu | Hi, How can i disable gpg check in synaptic | 16:19 |
| Padhu | rek: dual boot? | 16:19 |
| Halitech | LaveliDeara, then you will need to use VMware or VirtualBox to install windows and then IIS | 16:19 |
| grawity | Padhu: I don't think you can. Better would be to import the package authors' publick eys. | 16:19 |
| grawity | public keys* | 16:19 |
| LaveliDeara | ok, "I" don't need it, it's for my friend | 16:20 |
| LaveliDeara | I have a real IP, and I'm only guy in near zone with real IP | 16:20 |
| Halitech | LaveliDeara, either way, if someone needs it then they need windows | 16:20 |
| Steve^ | apache is much nicer anyway :) | 16:20 |
| rek | maybe | 16:21 |
| Halitech | Steve^, Apache is much more secure | 16:21 |

| thedancingdeer | how do i enable my front speakers! whatever i do, i just cant configure them! | 16:22 |
| LaveliDeara | so can I install IIS unde VM under Windows and configure my system that connecting via real IP will forward to IIS server ? :/ | 16:22 |
| sidewalk | how to i mount .cue/.bin files in Ubuntu? | 16:22 |
| Steve^ | LaveliDeara, if you want a headache | 16:22 |
| lstarnes | LaveliDeara: you can configure it so that port 80 forwards | 16:23 |
| Padhu | grawity: am using dialup. Synaptic pickup the UK server. I couldn't download from indian server. because of GPG verification failure. | 16:23 |
| lstarnes | LaveliDeara: however, it would be safer to use an alternative webserver | 16:23 |
| seven7seven | sidewalk, # mount -o loop disk1.cue /mnt/test | 16:24 |
| flintwingel | LaveliDeara: if you use a VM you will either have to use iptables to do port forwarding or use a reverse proxy on the host system | 16:24 |
| grawity | seven7seven: You sure that will work? .cue is not an actual image, it's just an index. | 16:24 |
| prcvampir0 | hi all | 16:24 |
| legend2440 | thedancingdeer: in terminal try speaker-test -c2 -Ddefault -t wav no front sound? | 16:24 |
| grawity | sidewalk: I think you need to convert cue/bin to .iso (using bchunk) | 16:24 |
| LaveliDeara | lstarnes: if you are about apache, I'm running apache already 2 years :)) just need IIS for 2-3 how's | 16:24 |
| seven7seven | or, try the .bin | 16:24 |
| LaveliDeara | *hour | 16:24 |
| seven7seven | I'm not sure though | 16:24 |
| Roland | why does writing an iso image make the computer almost unresponsive? | 16:25 |
| Steve^ | LaveliDeara, given you know little about ISS, I think it'll take you longer than that to set it up | 16:25 |
| LaveliDeara | Steve^ I never used it | 16:25 |
| LaveliDeara | ok I'll try the way mentioned before | 16:26 |
| LaveliDeara | flintwingel Halitech Steve^lstarnes thank you guys very much ! | 16:26 |

| legend2440 | thedancingdeer: sorry not sure i only have jacks from motherboard for speakers | 16:29 |

| tikka | odinsbane, well the one that linux commited to git a few days ago to fix the null pointer deference vulnerability | 16:45 |
| ortsvorsteher | tonii: lsb_release | 16:45 |
| DJones | !version | tonii | 16:45 |
| ubottu | tonii: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy <package> » | 16:45 |
| tikka | whatever the right term is, i don't actually use git myself. | 16:45 |
| tonii | thanks | 16:46 |
| tikka | and.. i meant linus, not linux | 16:46 |

| Halitech | revygttam, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wake-on-LAN | 16:57 |
| jchillerup | Hey. I have a problem with my internal apt setup. When I try to install something using aptitude it tells me to dpkg --reconfigure, but once I do that, it complains: http://pastebin.ca/1531550 - the problem has to do with a kernel I compiled some time ago (which I don't really care about anymore), but I can't seem to figure out how to get rid of the error. | 16:58 |
| grawity | revygttam: Basically, as long as a packet contains the required data (as described in the Wikipedia article), it is a valid WoL packet. No matter if it's TCP, ICMP ping, anything. | 16:58 |
| mosab | #j linuxac | 16:59 |
| revygttam | grawity, yeah its actually working, but when i try to wake the computer with my router it doesnt wake, it said it sends on port 40000 so i didnt know if a port was the cause | 16:59 |
| meathome | what has happened to Startup Manager? Is it available? | 17:00 |
| llutz | revygttam: use "sudo ethtool ethX" to find out, if your NIC has wol switched on | 17:00 |
| grawity | revygttam: The packet must reach the other computer. This may require forwarding the port that your tool uses. But the computer itself doesn't care. | 17:00 |

| tsrk_ | hey, could someone tell me if this script is actually malicious and doesn't do what it says? (WARNING: DO NOT RUN) http://bash.cyberciti.biz/monitoring/find-all-world-writable-files-directories/ | 17:29 |
| tsrk_ | as far as i can tell, the comand "die" doesn't actually exist | 17:29 |
| PratikAnand | if / is considered as root then why do v have a explicit /root folder? | 17:29 |
| lstarnes | PratikAnand: /root is the home directory for the root user | 17:30 |
| agoole | I'm having burning issues with growisofs, anyone have any ideas ? | 17:30 |
| musikgoat | tsrk_: its not malicious, the command is searching for types of files based on some filters | 17:30 |
| andyzammy | this looks like it might be what i'm looking for: gvfs-fuse-daemon on /home/rofl/.gvfs type fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=rofl) | 17:30 |
| TheMG | hey, im attempting to install xp, 7 and ubuntu on one disk | 17:30 |
| Deftone07 | k i haven't used ubuntu in a year..i forgot the command to extract a tar file! help pleez | 17:30 |
| PratikAnand | @lstarnes: thnx | 17:30 |
| dsdeiz | lstarnes: worked like a charm! thanks! | 17:30 |
| lstarnes | Deftone07: tar xf file.tar | 17:31 |
| agoole | tar -zxvf | 17:31 |
| guntbert | PratikAnand: and / is the root of the file system - those two things are completely unrelated | 17:31 |
| musikgoat | andyzammy: pastebin your whole command | 17:31 |
| tsrk_ | musikgoat, that's what i thought too but the line that begins with [ $# -eq 1 ] never finishes | 17:31 |
| dassouki | can i install windows on an ubuntu 9.05 pc ... i don't want to use vbox | 17:31 |
| Deftone07 | Holy crap TheMG.....ur in for some fun..lol | 17:31 |
| tsrk_ | and "die" doesn't even exist | 17:31 |
| dassouki | 904 | 17:31 |

| TheMG | deftone07: do you know what order i should do it? xp only sees 128GB of my 250GB HDD | 17:31 |
| Greggaz | Ive Just done a check integrity Check on a Disc from Ubuntu it says: Check Finished Errors foud in 1 Files (Press any Key to Restart) | 17:31 |
| Greggaz | How do i fix it? | 17:31 |
| aqrogE | help somebody with the configuration of dmix | 17:32 |
| aqrogE | If possible, via PM | 17:32 |
| tonii | Greggaz: good troubleshooting :) | 17:32 |
| musikgoat | tsrk_: die is a command that basically means error | 17:32 |
| musikgoat | tsrk_: kill the script | 17:32 |
| Deftone07 | ya always do 7 first | 17:32 |
| cornjuliox_ | is there any way to add support for .7z files to the archive manager that ships with ubuntu 8.04? | 17:32 |
| TheMG | i just installed in the order xp ubuntu 7 but 7's bootloader cant load ubuntu _or_ xp correctly | 17:32 |
| boss_mc | !7z | cornjuliox_ | 17:32 |
| ubottu | cornjuliox_: Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME) or Ark (KDE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression | 17:32 |
| Greggaz | tonii, is there a way to fix the disc? | 17:32 |
| tsrk_ | musikgoat, ok, maybe it's not intentional, but it looks like it's some kind of never ending script or fork bomb or something | 17:32 |
| tsrk_ | musikgoat, it's something about the $($a $b) | 17:32 |
| Deftone07 | and xp only sees that much cause u don't have a mass storage driver so you'll need to get that driver so u can see the rest | 17:32 |
| cornjuliox_ | boss_mc: when I try to open this .7z file i've got it says 'archive type not supported'. | 17:33 |
| guntbert | Greggaz: download a new image, check it with md5sum, burn it (at low speed maybe) | 17:33 |
| Greggaz | ok thanks :) | 17:33 |
| guntbert | !md5sum | Greggaz | 17:33 |
| ubottu | Greggaz: To verify the integrity of a download, use the md5sum - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM for more | 17:33 |
| Deftone07 | exactly...ubuntu should be installed last | 17:33 |
| Greggaz | guntbert, is there torrents available to download The Ubuntu Files | 17:33 |
| boss_mc | cornjuliox_: look at the link in the message | 17:33 |
| Deftone07 | the grub is the most important part if u wanna avoid a pain in the butt headache | 17:33 |
| Greggaz | guntbert, from Ubuntu - Like official Torrents | 17:33 |
| legend2440 | andyzammy: in terminal try sudo blkid | 17:34 |

| obamaHATESwhites | ok thanx | 17:36 |
| tsrk_ | musikgoat, i know, i'm concerened about the $($BASENAME $0) part | 17:36 |
| enzotib | tsrk_: it doesn't seem malicious, but i don't think it will work, maybe you have to uncomment le last three comment lines | 17:36 |

If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 17:36 |
| tsrk_ | musikgoat, based on what they said in #bash, it looks like a fork bomb because it's running itself | 17:36 |
| enzotib | tsrk_: die in bash doesn't exist | 17:36 |
| tsrk_ | musikgoat, or at least it'll never end | 17:36 |
| musikgoat | tsrk_: hmm... | 17:36 |
| obamaHATESwhites | im not taking polls. I just wanna get screwed with a crappy program. | 17:37 |

| Chousuke | obamaisKool: though the difference between saying "Obama hates USA" and "Obama is cool" is that the former is most likely a lie, while the latter is clearly an opinion | 17:41 |

| neodragon | I can browse to my samba shares and can access all the files in them when I browse to my server using firefox, but I can't access the samba shares through the network option under the places menu, help? | 17:42 |

| error404notfound | any browser like firefox which has firebug support or such plugin on ubuntu? | 17:42 |
| Ben64 | but don't join unless you believe in all the conspiracy stuff | 17:42 |
| maco | chazco: it sounds like something's corruptin...have you had this cycle happen multiple times, or did the constant segfaulting happen once, you reinstalled, and it was gone? | 17:43 |
| NewWorldOrder | it's full of FBI | 17:43 |
| boss_mc | error404notfound: what about firefox with the firebug plugin? | 17:43 |
| jrib | NewWorldOrder: please stay on the topic of ubuntu support. | 17:43 |
| Risalat | Which Java Runtime Emvironment to install for ubuntu? | 17:43 |
| error404notfound | boss_mc, i am already using it... | 17:43 |
| maco | Risalat: i use openjdk-6-jre | 17:43 |
| NewWorldOrder | jrib: i came here to talk about vpn, and everyone else had to put on a skirt and start yelp'n | 17:43 |
| error404notfound | Risalat, sun-java6-jre | 17:43 |
| NewWorldOrder | and start yelp'n "we need health care, we need health care" | 17:43 |
| NewWorldOrder | :P | 17:43 |
| jrib | NewWorldOrder: stop... | 17:43 |
| chazco | maco - Every few months totem-xine will segfault and wont start until a full reinstall. Then it works for a few months and the same problem occurs... | 17:44 |
| Risalat | yes but which one? | 17:44 |
| maco | NewWorldOrder: i quite like my skirts, thank you very much | 17:44 |
| musikgoat | Risalat: you can easily install the ubuntu-restricted-extras which installs java jre | 17:44 |
| Risalat | the RPM | 17:44 |
| Risalat | ? | 17:44 |
| boss_mc | NewWorldOrder: did my link help you at all? | 17:44 |
| error404notfound | Risalat, apt-get install sun-java6-jre | 17:44 |
| guntbert | !rpm | Risalat | 17:44 |
| ubottu | Risalat: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) | 17:44 |
| maco | Risalat: rpm? use applications -> add/remove and just check off the checkbox for it | 17:44 |
| Chousuke | NewWorldOrder: you know, when you have an opinion, it does not help to look down on those who disagree with you. But if you want to discuss it further, there's the offtopic channel. | 17:45 |

| llutz | andyzammy: what does "grep swap /etc/fstab" say? | 17:45 |
| Chousuke | musikgoat: discussing how to have a constructive discussion probably is not :P | 17:45 |
| maco | Chousuke, NewWorldOrder: politics are ok in ##offtopic but not #ubuntu or #ubuntu-offtopic | 17:46 |

| error404notfound | say i am using two firefox, one from apt (3.0.x) and one from getfirefox.com (3.5.x), will both use the same .mozilla? is there a way to change it for one of them? say .mozilla35 or something? | 17:46 |
| chazco | Before I do another full reinstall can anyone tell me how to remove any trace of totem-xine and xine from the system? | 17:46 |
| Ben64 | neodragon: sometimes you gotta repeat if theres a flood of text | 17:46 |
| jrib | neodragon: repeat every ~10 minutes so new people know what your issue is. Also try other support options | 17:46 |

| NewWorldOrder | boss_mc: it appears pptp has been obseleted by l2tp | 17:46 |
| Ben64 | neodragon: also, don't ask to ask | 17:46 |
| Chousuke | error404notfound: both will use the same dir, but you can tell the other one to use a different profile. | 17:46 |
| NewWorldOrder | according to wiki that is. but it also looks like a novel ipx thing too. | 17:47 |
| musikgoat | NewWorldOrder, boss_mc, pptp is still used frequently though | 17:47 |

| maco | chazco: whatever it removes as unneeded dependencies, purge those too | 17:47 |
| guntbert | chazco: apt-get purge <package names> should work for you | 17:47 |
| chazco | maco - Hmm... tried that before, seems something gets missed (as it still segfaults when reinstalled) | 17:47 |
| chazco | guntbert - Thanks :) | 17:48 |
| maco | younes: "sudo dpkg -i foo.deb" if by "force" you mean it wnt install, then check dpkg's manpage for a list of options of things it can ignore | 17:48 |
| Ben64 | there should be a way to find out why it segfaults | 17:48 |
| maco | guntbert, chazco: "apt-get purge" does not exist. there is "apt-get remove --purge" and "aptitude purge" | 17:48 |

| musikgoat | Ben64: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures | 17:49 |
| guntbert | maco: I'm surprised, took it straight from the man page | 17:49 |
| maco | guntbert: hmm?? /me looks | 17:50 |
| jrib | neodragon: you should probably say how you are trying to access them and what the result was | 17:50 |
| Ben64 | purge does exist | 17:50 |
| maco | guntbert: hey it is in there. i wonder if thats new | 17:50 |
| jrib | maco: yeah I think last release iirc | 17:50 |
| guntbert | maco: I wouldn't know - ah jrib tells us :-) | 17:51 |
| wildc4rd | afternoon all | 17:51 |
| chazco | maco - I've removed and purged totem-xine and everything found by autoremove, checking that there isnt anything left using Synaptic. Anything else worth considering? | 17:51 |
| stef1 | Hi, i just lost my mouse... that's not funny. First I lost my keypad then I pressed ctrl shift num lock and ctrl num lock trying to get it back. Loosing means clicking or tapping a button has no effect. what shortcut is there to disable/enable mouse buttons? | 17:51 |
| neodragon | jrib: I can access them through firefox, but when I go to >Places>Networks and click on Windows Network, it says "unable to mount location, failed to retreive share list from server." | 17:52 |
| Ben64 | stef1: hold down "8" on the keypad | 17:52 |
| Ben64 | does the mouse go up? | 17:52 |
| jrib | maco: actually it's on my hardy server so it's older than I thought but it wasn't always available for sure... | 17:52 |

| thelostfaith | Anyone ever use bittorrent to create torrents? | 17:53 |
| chazco | maco - After removing all that, then reinstalling, segfault :( | 17:53 |
| maco | jrib: this also shows how long we've been using ubuntu :P | 17:53 |
| Ben64 | stef1: gimme a sec, i'll look up how to make it normal again | 17:53 |
| stef1 | what a stupid feature | 17:53 |
| maco | thelostfaith: deluge can do it | 17:53 |
| grawity | stef1: it's stupid for you, but there are many people for whom it's _very_ useful. | 17:53 |
| maco | stef1: its for people who cannot use mice | 17:53 |
| thelostfaith | maco, I can't figure out for the life of me where bittorent placed the file | 17:53 |
| musikgoat | stef1: i saw this in fedora, system -> prefs -> keyboard -> mouse keys | 17:53 |
| maco | stef1: its called "accessibility" | 17:53 |
| chazco | So, any ideas to avert having to reinstall just to get totem working? | 17:54 |
| ninjaslim | why does installing simple-ccsm also install ccsm | 17:54 |
| jrib | neodragon: try entering "smb://ip_or_computer_name/share_name" in nautilus's location bar | 17:54 |
| stef1 | strange it's normal again, i didn't do anything | 17:54 |
| maco | chazco: figuring out which part is segfaulting might help | 17:54 |
| Ben64 | hm | 17:54 |
| Ben64 | well its alt+left shift+numlock | 17:54 |

| Ben64 | chazco: do you have any particular attachment to totem-xine? | 17:55 |
| maco | chazco: bad spot on hard drive and bad memory *would* be my suggestion except...across installs? and only on one app? weird | 17:55 |
| chazco | maco - Yep, would have thought same... done memtests and all sorts.. but as you say, one app makes it unusual | 17:56 |
| chazco | Ben64 - You mean like try another player? I need DVB and nautilius support, seems a shame to install another when totem usually works | 17:56 |
| jordanwb | I want to trim down the services that are started upon boot such as apache, mysql, and others. What command do I run to disable those? | 17:56 |
| Ben64 | i dunno, i just love mplayer | 17:56 |
| Ben64 | jordanwb: system -> administration -> services | 17:57 |
| jordanwb | Thanks | 17:57 |
| neodragon | jrib: when I do that it says "Could not dislplay 'smb://ip-address/share-name'. Nautilus cannot handle this kind of locations." | 17:57 |
| chazco | Ben64 - I have tried others, but only Totem and Kaffeine seem to work well with DVB. Kaffeine is a bit bloated for a gnome install though. | 17:58 |
| Ben64 | chazco: what exactly is dvb? | 17:58 |
| neodragon | jrib: does this mean I am missing some plugin for nautilus? | 17:58 |
| libtech | neodragon: you enter actual IP address of the network computer | 17:58 |
| chazco | Ben64 - Digital video broadcasting - ie, digital tv | 17:58 |
| neodragon | jrib: yes | 17:58 |

| neodragon | jrib: ubuntu 9.04 on both the server and the laptop | 17:59 |
| chazco | Ben64 - Just in case you were going to suggest it - unplugging it doesnt fix it | 17:59 |

| enjalot | how can i change the behavior of modifier keys + mouse click? like ctrl+left click | 18:14 |

| lstarnes | cpach: 7.4.5 is the version of xserver-xorg | 18:15 |
| zelrikriando | any idea why is that? | 18:15 |
| lstarnes | zelrikriando: you might need to set the executable bit for it and make sure that it has #!/bin.sh at the top of it | 18:16 |
| hbekel | lstarnes: #!/bin/sh | 18:16 |
| lstarnes | hbekel: oops, right | 18:16 |
| hbekel | lstarnes, zelrikriando: unless it already has #!/bin/bash, in that case don't change it | 18:17 |
| zelrikriando | lstarnes: at the top of the sh file I guess? | 18:17 |
| lstarnes | zelrikriando: yes | 18:17 |
| delllboy | ok so i read that i dont need antivirus on linux but do i need like firewalls or anything else? | 18:17 |
| lstarnes | delllboy: a firewall might be a good idea | 18:17 |
| hbekel | delllboy: depends on how you're connected | 18:17 |
| lstarnes | delllboy: ufw and iptables are installed by default | 18:17 |
| delllboy | wireless to a router which has a hardware firewall im sure | 18:18 |
| lstarnes | delllboy: there are graphical frontends for them such as gufw and firestarter | 18:18 |
| ikonia | delllboy: depends on your personal needs, think about how you use your system and work out what protection levels/tools you need | 18:18 |
| zelrikriando | lstarnes: what about the executable bit? | 18:18 |
| apt-give | I'm looking for the terminal command to allow unsupported packages to be installed with apt-get | 18:18 |

| Dacvak | Hey, how can I change my VirtualBox resolution to 1366x768? | 18:21 |
| syntac | ikonia: i copied them directly from my working laptop. let me test the port 53 deal | 18:21 |

| KB1JWQ | agoole: I don't think dmesg would necessarily be the FIRST choice, but it's not a bad one. What's the error behavior? | 18:28 |
| syntac | i just can't go outside the network | 18:28 |
| syntac | ikonia: 192.168.1.1 | 18:28 |
| ikonia | syntac: yes, of course you can, your router is possibley blocking you because you've taken an address out of the address pool | 18:28 |
| KB1JWQ | syntac: Sure the default gateway is correct? | 18:28 |
| ikonia | syntac: that's not an address pool - that's a single address | 18:29 |
| ikonia | syntac: your router probably has at least 192.168.1.0/24 | 18:29 |
| syntac | ikonia: i'm almost positive the adress pool is 192.168.1.100+ | 18:29 |
| Ben64 | ikonia: linksys usually gives out starting at 100 | 18:29 |
| Ben64 | yeah what he said | 18:29 |
| ikonia | syntac: so it starts at 100 | 18:29 |
| agoole | KB1JWQ: growisofs simply craps out with a IO error in k3b, can't burn anything | 18:29 |

| Ben64 | growisofs is a backend to a lot of linux burners | 18:33 |

| przemo_one | hi | 18:34 |
| Ben64 | back on rh9, i had to install it myself | 18:34 |
| Ben64 | rh9 came out before dvd's existed -.- | 18:34 |
| agoole | Ben64: can you take a look at my error code ? | 18:34 |
| gsedej | What is good GUITAR EFFECTS program for Ubuntu? | 18:34 |
| ikonia | gsedej: there really isn't | 18:35 |
| kane77 | ikonia, yes, it is there (in /usr/include/wx) | 18:35 |
| Ben64 | agoole: i did, but it's hard to tell what the problem is. On first look, seems like there could be a problem with the burner itself | 18:35 |
| ikonia | kane77: check your include path for your build then | 18:35 |
| Ben64 | but if you can use it on another system, then it gets more complicated | 18:35 |
| kane77 | gsedej, rakarrack | 18:35 |
| agoole | Ben64: its a laptop burner, and it can read tracks, but can't seem to burn | 18:35 |
| dakamm | hey everyone, i was wondering if anyone was familar with linuxdc++? | 18:36 |
| kane77 | ikonia, is there a command to update default include path after adding header files? | 18:36 |
| ikonia | kane77: it's normally set at compile time or in the makefile -I | 18:36 |
| CoRnJuLiOx | when you're at a terminal, inside /home/username/foo/bar, and you want to move from /bar to /foo (i.e one dir up) without having to type the whole path in, whats the command? | 18:37 |
| Ben64 | CoRnJuLiOx: cd .. | 18:37 |
| CoRnJuLiOx | Ben64: thanks | 18:37 |

| di||itante | un|matrix: | 18:44 |
| ActionParsnip | un|matrix: you would have to uninstall every package you installed from it. then temove. then install again using the remaining repos | 18:44 |
| di||itante | un|matrix: what did you do? | 18:44 |
| un|matrix | i can't do that, it wants to remove half of my system due to deps | 18:44 |
| Mraedis | Anyone? | 18:44 |
| hbekel | kane77: most packages use pkg-config instead of a dedicated *-config binary btw | 18:44 |
| un|matrix | di||itanite: i "updated" pulseaudio with this repository: https://launchpad.net/~themuso/+archive/ppa | 18:45 |
| tsrk_ | how do I purge a package that i've already removed? | 18:45 |
| ActionParsnip | un|matrix: the sysyem isnt really designed to have bits downgraded so it can get very messy | 18:45 |
| phyrrus | you don't | 18:45 |
| ActionParsnip | tsrk_: sudo dpkg -P <package name> | 18:45 |
| dakamm | does anyone know anything about linucdc++? | 18:45 |
| kane77 | hbekel, I'm starting with c++ so I don't know a lot of stuff | 18:45 |

| tsrk_ | ActionParsnip, dpkg - warning: ignoring request to remove jaolt which isn't installed. | 18:46 |
| un|matrix | di||itante: gonna try that now | 18:46 |
| IdleOne | tsrk_, install the package again then purge it perhaps | 18:47 |
| guntbert | dakamm: I don't, what is it? and what is your problem? | 18:47 |
| tsrk_ | IdleOne, is that really the best way? | 18:47 |
| IdleOne | tsrk_, don't know if it is but makes sense to me | 18:47 |
| ActionParsnip | tsrk_: if it doesnt show up in: dpkg -l | grep jaolt then you will need to reinstall it then run: sudo apt-get --purge remove jaolt | 18:47 |

| dakamm | gun.. well when i log onto linuxdc++ it asks me to put in a address and i dont what address to put in | 18:48 |

| hbekel | zelrikriando: checked the relevant logs? | 18:49 |
| un|matrix | di||itante, ActionParsnip: looks like i'm going to have to downgrade everything manually starting with packages that have no dependencies, and then moving inwards the dependency tree | 18:49 |

| Mraedis | *repeat* I want to remove Ubuntu from my laptop, but it's a dual boot with Vista and GRUB is the bootloader. The Ubuntu is installed on a ReiserFS5 partition, how do I go about this? (Sorry for repeat) | 18:49 |
| ActionParsnip | un|matrix: tread carefully | 18:49 |
| di||itante | un|matrix: what did apt-get tell you when you tried to remove pulsaudio | 18:50 |
| hbekel | zelrikriando: less /var/log/Xorg.0.log and less ~/.xsession-errors for example | 18:50 |
| vasile | rafaelscj, official repos, archives cleaned, i found the solution here: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1220447.html | 18:50 |
| ActionParsnip | mraedis: delete the ubunt partition. you will need your vista cd to reinstate ntldr | 18:50 |
| grawity | Mraedis: I guess something like this: 1) Boot from the Windows install CD, open recovery console, use bootrec /fixmbr (to rewrite the MBR). | 18:50 |
| hbekel | zelrikriando: the program might provide a logfile of it's own as well | 18:50 |
| grawity | ActionParsnip: Vista doesn't use ntldr anymore. | 18:50 |
| guntbert | dakamm: I don't know dc++ either, but you know that anything that relates to any kind of piracy is not supported here, and what address you should put in your client: ask the people who manage the server/net | 18:50 |
| Mraedis | Aw man | 18:50 |
| grawity | Mraedis: 2) Confirm that you can boot Vista without going through grub. | 18:50 |
| ActionParsnip | mraedis: ask in ##windows for how to reinstate the windows bootloader | 18:50 |
| un|matrix | di||itante: well synaptic wants to remove everything that depends on those packages, so i'm assuming apt-get would want the same | 18:50 |
| zelrikriando | hbekel: Could not find the main class: org.gmote.server.GmoteServerUiLinux. Program will exit. | 18:51 |
| grawity | Mraedis: And finally 3) boot from an Ubuntu LiveCD, open partition editor, nuke the ReiserFS partition. | 18:51 |
| dakamm | aight, thnx for the help anyway gun | 18:51 |
| di||itante | un|matrix: ok, so what, what will it remove that you cant replace later | 18:51 |

| Mraedis | Thanks grawity and ActionParsnip, now to find a CD because it came pre-installed... | 18:51 |
| zelrikriando | hbekel: do you need more details? | 18:52 |
| hbekel | zelrikriando: so it's seems to get started, but isn't properly configured | 18:52 |
| grawity | Mraedis: There should be at least the "recovery" CD, then. | 18:52 |
| ActionParsnip | vesayth: a while back, just smbolic link to libflashplayer.so in the chromium plugin folder | 18:52 |
| zelrikriando | hbekel: it does start once booted | 18:52 |
| Mraedis | Wherever that one is, grawity ;-) | 18:52 |
| hbekel | zelrikriando: i have no idea what that program does, so i don't know | 18:52 |
| hbekel | zelrikriando: you might want to consult the docs/google the error message | 18:52 |
| zelrikriando | hbekel: it's a gmote server, to use my phone as a remote on my computer | 18:52 |
| vesayth | ActionParsnip: Yeah that stopped working in Jaunty I belive. I've copied the file as well as made the symbolic link in Karmic and it's been no go. Works great for Jaunty when copying | 18:53 |

| === JP is now known as Guest56800 | ||
| ActionParsnip | vesayth: karmic is still alpha and WILL break. support is in #ubuntu+1 | 18:53 |
| zelrikriando | hbekel: is there a way to delay a start? | 18:53 |
| vesayth | ActionParsnip: I know, that's not why I came here to ask the question, I came here to ask if anyone has been able to get it working | 18:54 |
| zelrikriando | hbekel: I was thinking that it tries to start when the computer is not ready | 18:54 |
| di||itante | un|matrix: hav you tried apt-get --reinstall | 18:54 |
| hbekel | zelrikriando: class not found implies something is wrong with your java setup | 18:54 |
| stillinbeta | Anyone know why my ntfs partition mounts as only view able to root? as in I must sudo su before I can cd into it. | 18:54 |
| zelrikriando | hbekel: or that java didnt start | 18:54 |
| zelrikriando | yet | 18:54 |
| hbekel | zelrikriando: can you start the app from a terminal | 18:54 |
| zelrikriando | hbekel: I can | 18:55 |
| guntbert | vesayth: you still should ask in #ubuntu+1 | 18:55 |
| un|matrix | di||itante: no i just want to switch back to canonical's packages (the ones that got replaced by a 3rd party repo) | 18:55 |
| ActionParsnip | vesayth: it works in jaunty as it is released, karmic most likely won't as there is still development going on with it so it is incomplete and most things wont work or will act weird, just like chromium which is also beta | 18:55 |
| di||itante | right. so now you have those default repos in the sources, right? then try apt-get --reinstall | 18:56 |

| __8472 | geirha: i've thought so that it's some opposite, but most times it didn't passed into it :( but thanks for the explanation, i'll just have to learn to think in this opposite way. thx | 19:40 |
| hcook | is it normal for source packages to install under /root / | 19:40 |
| __8472 | th0r: thx | 19:40 |
| th0r | randal: that driver is five years old...I doubt it will work with the present kernels | 19:40 |
| cumulus007 | In which package is the "Add/Remove..." program kept? | 19:40 |
| vlt | Dacvak: It's very inlikely to be /dev/hda in ubuntu, they changed everything to /dev/sda | 19:40 |
| snd_ | in ubuntu grub cmd line. how would i add clocksource=hpet to kernel /boot/ubnkern --clocksource=hpet? | 19:40 |
| randal | th0r: oh :'( | 19:41 |
| snd_ | or just /boot/unnkern clocksource=hpet | 19:41 |
| vlt | snd_: I think w/o "--" | 19:41 |
| th1 | I'm now a movie director thanks to that app "StopMotion".. even though its buggy :) | 19:41 |
| geirha | __8472: Well. With 022, files will be created with mode 644, and directories with 755. the execute permission isn't used on files by default (most files aren't executable, and should be specifically set executable if needed) | 19:41 |
| Dacvak | Is it possible to create a new blank partition (for the installation of dual boot Windows) when Ubuntu has already taken up my whole hard drive? | 19:41 |
| randal | guntbert: what should i do :) | 19:41 |
| Dacvak | Like, can I reduce the size of the Ubuntu partition? | 19:41 |
| guntbert | randal: it seems you can use the intel 2.4 driver from the repos, see the links I sent you | 19:41 |
| snd_ | vit: thx. | 19:41 |
| vlt | Dacvak: Yes, should be possible | 19:42 |

| === yacc_ is now known as yacc | ||
| vlt | Dacvak: I'd reccomend the to use the tool gparted for shrinking the size of the file system on /dev/sda and then sda itself. Maybe you have to reboot afterwards to male your kernel re-read the partition table. | 19:47 |
| guntbert | randal: please read it, I have no intel card myself, I wanted to save you from compiling the driver when intel made things "strange" | 19:47 |
| Dacvak | vlt: I'm in gparted right now. I've been trying to figure out how to do that. | 19:47 |
| guntbert | vlt: Dacvak will have to do this from live CD | 19:47 |
| stoner | crash, i know what you mean, like make bittorrent low priority, i just find that makes a big difference in the time it takes to load webpages. | 19:47 |
| Dacvak | So I can only mess around in gparted from a LiveCD? | 19:48 |
| vlt | guntbert: Really? | 19:48 |

| blazeeboy | very big problem: my ubu | 19:49 |
| * vlt thought 2.6.28 should be able to perform an online shrinking too | 19:49 | |
| IdleOne | Dacvak, in your case yes. to partition the drive you need to unmount it and you cant unmount it if your using it | 19:49 |

| AceKing | guntbert: sorry, I got a phone call... No I don't | 20:16 |
| sebsebseb | nifty: well if you open that file up. that will also give you an idea of how all of the partitions on your computer get treated by the bootloader, with the Linux partitin numbering order. as for gparted it should be under system > administartion > partition editor is it? | 20:16 |
| guntbert | AceKing: np :-), so what OS has another computer at home? | 20:17 |
| duiu | I can ssh into my station as the account I created during install just fine, both passwd and key auth methods.

| sebsebseb | !welcome | Ando81 | 20:22 |
| nifty | it wont work here | 20:22 |
| ubottu | Ando81: Welcome to #ubuntu - the Ubuntu support channel. | 20:22 |
| danbhfive | anyone know of a web page comparing various linux apps? ie, I would like to know how to do the same action across various applications | 20:22 |
| AceKing | guntbert: Sorry... that was embarrassing | 20:22 |
| grawity | Ando81: Welcome to #ubuntu :) | 20:22 |
| Ando81 | thx! | 20:22 |
| grawity | danbhfive: browsershots.com? | 20:22 |
| Ando81 | :) i love it! | 20:22 |
| guntbert | AceKing: np :) | 20:22 |
| nifty | sebsebseb: it says it cannot read the contents of the filesystem | 20:22 |
| hbekel | nifty: what is "it"? | 20:23 |
| nifty | sebsebseb: i think it may be cause i am shredding a lot of files atm on the same computer too and the memory is really strained | 20:23 |
| przemo_one | what is the problem? | 20:23 |
| Ando81 | i have one question. is there a better tool then "gdesktlets" ? | 20:23 |
| SIM22EVD | When I go to add a printer using Windows Printer via SAMBA, I expand the lists and while doing so the Printing application closes. What's happening | 20:23 |
| guntbert | !best | Ando81 | 20:23 |
| ubottu | Ando81: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 20:23 |
| AceKing | guntbert: vncviewer: ConnectToTcpAddr: connect: No route to host | 20:23 |
| AceKing | Unable to connect to VNC server | 20:23 |
| hbekel | nifty: that's just a vague guess and probably unrelated | 20:23 |
| sebsebseb | danbhfive: I guess not, but you may find these sites useful http://www.osalt.com http://www.linuxeq.com http://www.sf.net http://www.freshmeat.net | 20:23 |
| danbhfive | grawity: are you spamming me? | 20:23 |
| marko-_-- | !offtopic | 20:24 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 20:24 |
| grawity | danbhfive: No, I'm not. Why are you asking? | 20:24 |
| nifty | sebsebseb: it says unable to open /dev/sdc - unrecognised disk label | 20:24 |
| duiu | mneptok: http://paste.ubuntu.com/254172, me connecting from the same computer as I'm sshing into so I can copy the -vv, putty doesn't do that | 20:24 |
| danbhfive | sebsebseb: thanks, Ill take a look | 20:24 |

| kamil | Is there a way to check if my wifi is properly installed ? | 20:25 |
| grawity | danbhfive: You asked for a webpage comparing various apps. I misread that question and thought you were asking for webbrowser comparision, so I suggested browsershots. | 20:25 |
| kent | How do you change color? | 20:25 |
| Ando81 | @kamil: type in the console "lspci" | 20:25 |
| mneptok | duiu: what s the UID on the Ubuntu machine? | 20:25 |
| mneptok | duiu: "David" or "david" ? | 20:25 |
| xsebsx | hello there, i'm having trouble with nicotine, i set up my sharedfolders and all, but everytime i try to make a download from another user it gives me cannot connect status, i am on a wireless connection through a router | 20:25 |
| guntbert | AceKing: please on PC2 type ifconfig, look for a line with inet addr at the start | 20:25 |

| guntbert | AceKing: and tell me that line | 20:26 |
| danbhfive | grawity: ah, I see. Well, it just looked like a spam search engine I'm afraid. I didn't even see a browser comparison... but no worries | 20:26 |
| delllboy | boss_mc | 20:26 |
| SIM22EVD | I'm trying to add a printer and when I click Windows Printer via SAMBA > Browse and expand the drop downs the application closes. What is happening? | 20:26 |
| mneptok | duiu: it's rejecting the password | 20:27 |
| grawity | danbhfive: It might have disappeared then :\ Was an useful site. | 20:27 |
| delllboy | boss_mc | 20:27 |
| mneptok | duiu: are you sure you're using the correct password? | 20:27 |

| guntbert | !repeat | SIM22EVD | 20:28 |
| ubottu | SIM22EVD: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. | 20:28 |

| duiu | mneptok: It didn't work | 20:32 |
| sebsebseb | archive23: personally I don't like KDE 4 much, except for how many of the apps have got better, but I use those in Gnome anyway, as a GUI though KDE 4 no thanks, Gnome and KDE 3 :) and XFCE maybe at times as well | 20:32 |
| guntbert | kent please don't test you client settings here - its busy enough | 20:32 |

| kent | sorry about that | 20:33 |
| sebsebseb | !kde3 | archive23 | 20:33 |
| ubottu | archive23: Kubuntu 8.04 ships with KDE3 and full support. Jaunty does not include KDE3 but a remix install CD can be obtained at https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/Kde3/Jaunty . This is not officially supported. Support, instructions and ways to contribute can be found on the wiki page | 20:33 |

| guntbert | AceKing: good, now vncviewer 10.10.10.102 | 20:33 |
| sebsebseb | archive23: and there's a repo that can be added for it, sadly KDE 3 is on the verge of dieing, it's been around for quite a few years, and it's rather mature and stable now | 20:33 |
| grawity | Cyrus25801: You could use TrueCrypt. | 20:33 |
| archive23 | blaaah my xchat has become unresponsive to movement >:( | 20:33 |

| dsfas | hello | 20:36 |
| archive23 | sorry folks my Xchat got unresponsive (I couldn't move the damn thing around anymore and it was visible only for a part on my screen, I think it's the compiz fusion thing) | 20:36 |
| dsfas | i am new to irc | 20:36 |
| ikonia | przemo_one: bitchX is dead | 20:36 |
| guntbert | AceKing: no, I'm not, but glad it works now - the next step will be the configuration of your router | 20:36 |
| grawity | przemo_one: irssi is better :D | 20:36 |
| dsfas | can any one help me | 20:36 |

| AceKing | guntbert: Ok | 20:36 |
| archive23 | anyways I'd still like to thank all the people who provided the info | 20:36 |
| archive23 | let's see | 20:36 |
| archive23 | !kde | 20:36 |
| ubottu | KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu. To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop », or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE . See http://kubuntu.org for more information. For more information on KDE 4, see !kde4 | 20:36 |
| sebsebseb | archive23: ok well maybe you missed it, but I recommended Konversation as an alternative :) KDE 3 version is pretty good, and I think a stable final KDE 4 version is coming soon as well | 20:36 |
| jerkman | ive got torrent flux up and running, but it doesnt like torrents with spaces in the names, any ideas | 20:36 |

| jerkman | dsfas: !spam | 20:37 |
| dsfas | i want to connect to irc.hackthissite.org | 20:37 |
| ikonia | dsfas: stop | 20:37 |
| ikonia | dsfas: `what client are you using ? | 20:37 |
| archive23 | sebsebseb, I'll look into that one, but I'm afraid it has done this with not only one window | 20:37 |
| grawity | dsfas: Type /server irc.hackthissite.org | 20:37 |
| jerkman | !spam :defas | 20:37 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about spam :defas | 20:37 |
| dsfas | xchat | 20:37 |
| ikonia | dsfas: xchat support is in #xchat | 20:37 |
| guntbert | AceKing: you will have to tell your router to forward port 5900 from the outside to 10.10.10.102, port 5900 on the inside | 20:37 |
| grawity | dsfas: And remember - repeating the question only makes things worse. | 20:37 |
| TaTa | I am using Ubuntu 9.04 | 20:38 |

| TaTa | Some boddy help me :| | 20:38 |

| Khisanth | and xchat-gnome support is in #xchat-gnome | 20:38 |
| dsfas | so tell me what to do... | 20:38 |
| jerkman | ikonia: not a great option for me, | 20:38 |
| guntbert | !please | TaTa | 20:38 |
| ubottu | TaTa: 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 | 20:38 |
| grawity | dsfas: I already told you. Type this: /server irc.hackthissite.org | 20:38 |
| ikonia | jerkman: if it doesn't support spaces, conntact the torrentflux project and log a bug | 20:38 |
| TaTa | Oh! I know! | 20:38 |
| archive23 | thanks everyone :) | 20:39 |
| Khisanth | heh | 20:39 |

| subcool | error DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken. | 20:44 |
| sebsebseb | techie: I don't know about it's current state, since not used yet, but maybe, but by the time 9.10 is out, it should have no problem at all with that | 20:44 |
| sebsebseb | techie: you will get an older version of empathy in the 8.10 repo | 20:44 |
| przemo_one | yes you subcool . sorry you are trying to recover windows. this is not about problems with linux | 20:45 |
| sebsebseb | techie: bound to be a ppa or something for a later one though, if you want to try it already | 20:45 |

| noobli | I miss easy setup for XMPP/Jingle in all current instant messenger systems, i would like to see good Jingle support | 20:47 |
| boss_mc | subcool: if the HD is ntfs and the drive wasn't cleanly unmounted before, it needs to be forced | 20:47 |
| przemo_one | nope | 20:47 |
| sebsebseb | techie: I don't use ekiga, but empathy in 9.10 will also replace Ekiga. There is also a way to get a slightly older version of Windows Live Messenger working in Wine and working quite well it seems. Then of course with enough RAM, Windows programs can be virtual machined inside Ubuntu or other OS's. | 20:47 |
| subcool | boss_mc: how? | 20:47 |
| przemo_one | ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /mnt/windows is an example | 20:47 |

| uboatu | voila | 21:47 |
| losher | jordanwb: I've never used vinagre. I suggest just trying a different vnc client.... | 21:47 |
| gogeta | andyzammy: sudo mount /dev/sda /mountfolder | 21:47 |
| jordanwb | losher: what do you suggest? | 21:47 |
| porthose | checkinstall is a piece of crap, you should really learn how to package correctly | 21:47 |
| uboatu | what ever | 21:47 |
| losher | jordanwb: since the server is known to be realvnc, try their client. Find it via google... | 21:47 |
| gogeta | andyzammy: sda can be anything you can use fdisk -l so figure where the device you whant to mount is in dev | 21:48 |
| uboatu | its for beginners | 21:48 |

| guntbert | jcmarini: I advice you switch to xchat, but for now try to disable that "notify each message" | 21:50 |
| andyzammy | used "mount" alone and couldnt find a fat vol | 21:50 |
| losher | porthose: checkinstall is ok for simple makefiles. If you don't make debs very often, it's a timesaver... | 21:50 |

| andresj__ | sergiu: wgats your question? | 21:56 |
| Seveas | andresj__, the computer should wake up from suspend when you press a key. If that doesn't work, press the powerbutton (but don't hold it) | 21:56 |

| ActionParsnip | jordanwb: vnc is defined in rfc so all aps should be ok. why do you need vnc? | 22:07 |
| buch | Is there anyway i can check if my hardware is compitible with 64bit w/o try and install 64bit? | 22:07 |
| euthymos | hi I created a .deb package for i386, will it work on amd64 architecture? | 22:07 |
| jordanwb | So I can login to the XP machine remotely in case my dad has any problems. | 22:08 |
| neurochrome | buch, livecd?! | 22:08 |
| ActionParsnip | buch: if you have a 64bit cpu it will work just like the 32bit one | 22:08 |
| iandayen | gogeta : I know where it would be, this is a dumbed down bios on a compaq laptop, you can not change, nor get into anything in the bios except to see the system information | 22:08 |
| neurochrome | jordanwb, be sure to use ssh | 22:08 |
| ActionParsnip | jordanwb: vnc is unencrypted so i wouldnt recommend using it over wan | 22:08 |
| buch | Ahh livecd ofc :) | 22:08 |
| deany | jordanwb, the remote desktop viewer in ubuntu works with the vino (vnc) server in ubuntu | 22:09 |
| deany | jordanwb, is there a particular server you are wanting to connec with | 22:09 |
| gogeta | iandayen: normaly compaq bios have a passwword that unlock all options | 22:09 |
| gogeta | like dells | 22:09 |
| jordanwb | I have to go, I'll worry about VNC tommorow. Thanks guys. | 22:09 |

| LinuxNoob | Can someone help me? I am looking to crack a WEP protected network, and I need help with what hardware I need. The current laptop I have doesn't have a slot for me to stick an older network card in it in order to enable monitor mode. | 22:15 |
| ActionParsnip | spo: manually mounting is easy stuff though | 22:15 |
| uboatu | no crackers here | 22:15 |
| sergiu | losher, the hwaddr of eth0 is not that what i need.. | 22:15 |

| losher | sergiu: why is there only output from one ifconfig? There were two in the 3 line script I gave you? | 22:16 |
| gogeta | iandayen: whont do no good if uuntu turns it off again | 22:16 |
| commander_ | i had asked a question. | 22:16 |
| ActionParsnip | spo: if you add it to fstab via uuid, if it doesnt automount you can run: sudo mount -a | 22:16 |
| neurochrome | dupondje, gnome? | 22:16 |
| sergiu | losher, yes | 22:17 |
| dupondje | neurochrome: its installed, running gnome-session gives me the gnome desktop | 22:17 |
| gogeta | iandayen: it whont have that option if you have a hardware switch | 22:17 |
| sergiu | hm | 22:17 |
| iandayen | gogeta: I'm still not sure your problem is the same as mine though - ubuntu should not be doing anything within the bios and yes I do have a hardware switch | 22:17 |
| guntbert | !ff3.5 | commander_ | 22:17 |

| iandayen | actionparsnip: how do i restart hal? I'm a pretty novice linux user, but I am very familiar with other OS | 22:21 |
| gogeta | iandayen: of course puling the battery resetting them might work but you will need to do it after every boot | 22:21 |
| spo | can you give me an example of how you mount via uuid | 22:21 |
| gogeta | i mean shutdown | 22:21 |
| inx-mdg | commander_: what was your question? | 22:21 |
| sergiu | omg | 22:21 |
| ActionParsnip | !uuid | spo | 22:21 |
| ubottu | spo: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) | 22:21 |
| gogeta | iandayen: lol your switch isnt off is it | 22:22 |
| commander_ | how can i get firefox 3.5.2? | 22:22 |
| ActionParsnip | !fstab | spo | 22:22 |
| ubottu | spo: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 22:22 |
| losher | sergiu: ??? | 22:22 |
| iandayen | gogeta: lol no, first thing I checked | 22:22 |
| commander_ | i downloaded ubuntuzilla and i keep getting errors? | 22:22 |
| ActionParsnip | commander: sudo apt-get install firefox-3.5 | 22:22 |
| inx-mdg | commander_: you can do as ActionParsnip shows via command line or through Synaptic package manager | 22:22 |
| spo | is there another way besides fstab? | 22:23 |
| spo | can i make it so mount makes a directory based on the usb drive's label? | 22:23 |
| ActionParsnip | spo: yep, or you can run: sudo fdisk -l to see the partition name then manually mount it | 22:23 |
| spo | how do you use mount to make a directory based on the disk's label? | 22:24 |
| ActionParsnip | spo: the uuid is unique to the drive so will always mount to the same place, you will need to manually create the mount point | 22:24 |
| CopyWriter | #ubuntu-server | 22:25 |

| AbsoluteZero | Sooo...Anybody know WHERE in the gconf editor I can find the "turn off the thing that stops you from being able to move your windows beyond the verticle border..." thing? | 22:52 |
| MisterDo | where can i change my ip in network manager ? | 22:52 |
| boss_mc | AbsoluteZero: apps->compiz->plugins->move->allscreens->options->constrain_y | 22:53 |
| AbsoluteZero | It's not under the compiz tab under any obvious thing. | 22:53 |
| boss_mc | I said above but I forgot your name... | 22:53 |
| AbsoluteZero | Aha, Thanks Boss! | 22:53 |
| boss_mc | np | 22:53 |
| edbian | AbsoluteZero: You can only slide windows from one desktop to another (across the edge of the screen) using compiz. It is a compiz setting so it's not in gconf-editor | 22:53 |
| ActionParsnip | misterdo: set the setting to static ip, then set it | 22:53 |
| boss_mc | edbian: compiz by default uses gconf to store its settings, and has some settings in gconf that aren't in the ccsm | 22:54 |
| edbian | boss_mc: Really? I never knew that! | 22:54 |
| MisterDo | but where static ip ? | 22:54 |
| boss_mc | edbian: you can move it in advanced i think (to flat file)... | 22:54 |
| ge2x | where does ubuntu store resolution options? because it seems to ignore my /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 22:54 |
| AbsoluteZero | Thanks boss_mc. Works like a charm now. | 22:55 |
| ActionParsnip | misterdo: i'm on a G1 phone. i dont have my co.mputers on due to no internet so i can't hold your hand | 22:55 |
| edbian | ge2x: It probes the video card and your monitor to determine what resolutions should be available. | 22:55 |
| ge2x | edbian: it determines wrongly | 22:55 |
| AbsoluteZero | Now if only somebody could tell me why the GnoMenu XP clones don't actually work... | 22:55 |
| ActionParsnip | misterdo: all settings are there for network | 22:55 |
| ge2x | so now I'm stuck with 620x480 resolution and can't change it | 22:55 |
| ActionParsnip | absolutezero: poor coding.... | 22:56 |
| AbsoluteZero | Drat. | 22:56 |
| boss_mc | ge2x: no other options in System->Prefs->Display? | 22:56 |
| ge2x | boss_mc: yes | 22:56 |

| Untouchab1e | In Windows, the Nvidia drivers allows me to hotswap between using both and just the integrated chip.. | 23:30 |
| ActionParsnip | untouchabl1e: why not? | 23:30 |
| Untouchab1e | ActionParsnip: There just isnt an option for it | 23:31 |
| ActionParsnip | untouchab1e: oh one of those. ive seen a guy in here asking about those. i have no idea how they would be handles | 23:31 |
| Untouchab1e | Wikipedia says: The current Linux implementation lacks the hot switching feature (dynamic GPU switching). This is limited by the available BIOS information in current systems | 23:31 |
| sergiumihai | hey, i found an way to change the mac address of interface.. | 23:31 |
| sergiumihai | to edit the /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules | 23:31 |
| Untouchab1e | this leads me to believe that it should be possible to at least set Linux to only use one of the cards somehow | 23:32 |
| Untouchab1e | So no ideas then? | 23:32 |

| ActionParsnip | untouchab1e: you could blacklist the intel vga module | 23:33 |
| GuidMorrow | what kind of CRAP OS is this?!? installed the AMD64 version of Ubuntu and now this CRAP happens! can't install package because other packages are being installed??? | 23:33 |
| woods | i need some suggestions, because UNR runs terribly slow | 23:33 |
| Untouchab1e | Well, it isnt a intel chip, its a Geforce 9200m + 9400m.. but yeah, how could I blacklist the 9400m card? | 23:33 |
| lstarnes | GuidMorrow: just wait for the packages to finish installing | 23:33 |
| woods | i unistalled compiz, turned emerald off | 23:33 |
| addchild314 | GuidMorrow, and trolling probably wont help the packages install faster | 23:34 |
| lstarnes | !aptfix | GuidMorrow (if there actually isn't anything installing) | 23:34 |
| ubottu | GuidMorrow (if there actually isn't anything installing): If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » | 23:34 |
| zefyx | does XML::Simple exist in aptitude? | 23:34 |
| zefyx | i need to install XML::Simple & XML::DOM | 23:35 |
| ActionParsnip | guildmorrow: cut the swears. you can only install one thing at a time. windows installer is the same so windows is also no good by your above statement | 23:35 |
| lstarnes | zefyx: try libxml-simple-perl and libxml-dom-perl | 23:35 |
| lstarnes | zefyx: you could also use cpan | 23:35 |
| mrgenericuser | untouchable, is device 9200 set to screen 0 in xorg.conf? | 23:35 |
| Untouchab1e | hold on, Il check | 23:35 |
| ActionParsnip | guildmorrow: i'd also evaluate your attitude | 23:36 |
| jonah1980 | does anyone please know how to set a different resolution to the one ubuntu detects for you, my laptop looks terrible and i need 1366x768 please | 23:36 |
| lstarnes | !fixres | jonah1980 | 23:36 |
| ubottu | jonah1980: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution | 23:36 |
| Untouchab1e | mrgenericuser: I just need to reboot, brb | 23:36 |
| GuidMorrow | now I can't tell whether I did install the amd64 version | 23:37 |
| === McPeter_ is now known as McPeter | ||
| lstarnes | GuidMorrow: check uname -m | 23:37 |
| ActionParsnip | jonah1980: set the res in xorg.conf. if you use nvidia then use nvidia-settings to flash out the file then tweak | 23:37 |
| Waffle | jonah1980, a quick thing you might try is go to System, Prefrences, Display | 23:37 |
| GuidMorrow | lstarnes: it printed: x86-64 | 23:38 |
| lstarnes | GuidMorrow: that is the amd64 version | 23:38 |
| Waffle | I am dual-booting Ubuntu and Vista, and have a problem with Vista where I need it to be the boot manager for a little. Is there a way to change the MBR to the Vista partition instead of the Grub partition? | 23:39 |
| ActionParsnip | jonah1980 if not find xorg.conf examples and copy bits until you get a nice display | 23:39 |
| ActionParsnip | waffle: you will need to install the vista bootloader | 23:39 |
| GuidMorrow | i'm not sure, what about the system performance? doesn't the CPU heat up more? and what about load? | 23:39 |
| jonah1980 | ActionParsnip: I've tried adding them in xorg.conf but when i restart x it's just back in the same res and no other are available in settings | 23:40 |
| ActionParsnip | waffle for dual boot a linux based boot manager is advised as it can easily manager booting botb | 23:40 |
| jonah1980 | Waffle: tried that but it only shows the wrong res and no others, even if i put them in xorg | 23:40 |
| * GuidMorrow . o O ? | 23:40 | |
| spo | is the ubuntu release the same as it was a year ago? IE, no kernels have been updated or anything like that for jaunty? | 23:41 |

| Untouchab1e | back | 23:41 |
| Untouchab1e | I cant see any "device0" in the xorg.conf? | 23:41 |
| Untouchab1e | ah, hold on | 23:41 |
| Untouchab1e | found it | 23:41 |
| Untouchab1e | Section "Device" | 23:42 |
| Untouchab1e | Identifier "Device0" | 23:42 |
| Untouchab1e | Driver "nvidia" | 23:42 |
| Untouchab1e | VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation" | 23:42 |
| Untouchab1e | BoardName "GeForce 9400M G" | 23:42 |
| FloodBot1 | Untouchab1e: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 23:42 |
| jonah1980 | i just find it strange that you used to be able to put custom resolutions in to xorg but that functionality has no gone, so if it doesn't detect it right then you can't fix it | 23:42 |
| Untouchab1e | oobs, sorry | 23:42 |
| Dacvak | Hey, how do I mount my Ubuntu hard drive partition using a LiveCD? | 23:42 |
| Untouchab1e | so yeah, device0 says "GeForce 9400M G" | 23:42 |
| Waffle | ActionParsnip, I installed Vista first then Ubuntu, it works great. I have a problem with Vista and as far as I can tell the only way to fix it is by using Vistas boot manager. I'm not sure how Grub works but I thought it was something like this: MBR-Grub-Vista Boot Manger, and if i could change the MBR over to Vista just for a few minutes, then I could set it back to Grub and not have to worry about messing anything up. | 23:42 |
| erUSUL | Dacvak: mkdir /mnt/ubuntu && mount -t ext3 /dev/sdxx /mnt/ubuntu | 23:43 |
| Dacvak | Thanks | 23:43 |
| erUSUL | Dacvak: where sdxx is to be replaced with trhe correct one of course | 23:43 |
| Dacvak | I'm not sure what that should actually be. | 23:43 |
| Dacvak | How do I find that out? | 23:44 |
| Untouchab1e | but lspci | grep VGA shows both cards | 23:44 |
| Untouchab1e | so how to disable the 9400m card? | 23:44 |
| sirninja | ok... So I have ubuntu installed via wubi. I was trying to use wine to run a game that was already installed in windows, so I symlinked the /host directory (which contains the C drive) to ~/.wine/drive_c. now windows will not boot even under safe mode. Is it possible that me symlinking that is what caused it? Also know that the last time I used windows before this, it bluescreened, so I'm trying to figure out what is causing this | 23:44 |
| Ben64 | why do you want to disable your video card? | 23:44 |
| Untouchab1e | Ben64: Because I have a Dell Studio XPS 13 with a hybrid-SLI graphics solution with a GeForce 9200m + 9400m | 23:45 |
| mrgenericuser | untouchable, try changing the settings for the 9400 to the 9200 using the pci bus id for it in lspci | 23:45 |
| Ben64 | ohh | 23:45 |
| Untouchab1e | mrgenericuser: Ok... lets see.. | 23:45 |
| Untouchab1e | Ben64: and I want to disable the 9400m card cuz I dont need it in Linux.. | 23:45 |
| Ben64 | i thought you saw 2 "cards" but one of them was just the video out | 23:45 |
| Untouchab1e | mrgenericuser: So I just change 9400 to 9200 in xorg.conf? | 23:46 |
| Ben64 | the bus id, not just the name, name doesn't matter | 23:46 |
| Dacvak | How do I figure out what this part is? "/etc/sdXX"? | 23:46 |
| Untouchab1e | Device0 doesnt show any bus ID | 23:46 |
| Ben64 | 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV40 [GeForce 6800] (rev a1) | 23:46 |
| Dacvak | The XX's | 23:46 |
| Ben64 | so it'd be 01:00.0 for me | 23:46 |
| Untouchab1e | just Identifier, Driver, VendorName, and BoardName | 23:46 |
| Ben64 | lspci should show it | 23:46 |
| Untouchab1e | which value do I change? | 23:46 |
| sirninja | ok... So I have ubuntu installed via wubi. I was trying to use wine to run a game that was already installed in windows, so I symlinked the /host directory (which contains the C drive) to ~/.wine/drive_c. now windows will not boot even under safe mode.

| Ben64 | Busid "PCI:1:0:0" | 23:47 |
| Ben64 | add that after boardname, but change the busid to yours | 23:48 |
| Untouchab1e | but where do I specify the BusID then? | 23:48 |
| mrgenericuser | untouchable, yes but you shoud see some thing like BusID "PCI:3:0:0" in that section, change to show BusID "PCI:2:0:0" or add it. | 23:48 |
| Untouchab1e | cant find the phrase "BusID" in the xorg.conf file at all | 23:48 |
| Ben64 | you can add it | 23:48 |
| GuidMorrow | !nvidia | 23:48 |
| ubottu | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 23:48 |
| mrgenericuser | just add it into that Section "Device" | 23:49 |
| Untouchab1e | so I just add a new line under "device0" and name it "busid"? | 23:49 |
| GuidMorrow | why is this "downloading and installing driver" box stuck at 0%?! | 23:49 |
| Ben64 | Busid | 23:49 |
| mrgenericuser | excactly as i showed it.... yes | 23:49 |
| Ben64 | sometimes case matters | 23:49 |
| Dacvak | Hey, how can I mount my root partition? It should be: sudo mkdir /mnt/ubuntu && mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 /mnt/ubuntu, but I got an error "only root can do that" | 23:49 |
| Untouchab1e | Busid "PCI:2:0.0" | 23:49 |
| mrgenericuser | yes | 23:49 |
| Ben64 | maybe change the . to : | 23:50 |
| edoceo | When I boot my ubuntu install CD my screen goes blank after starting X - splash shows, then it dies. How to force a specific resolution? | 23:50 |
| Untouchab1e | you said BusID and Ben64 says Busid | 23:50 |
| mrgenericuser | yah -- BusID "PCI:2:0:0" | 23:50 |
| Ben64 | lspci shows mine as 01:00.0 but my xorg.conf shows it as 1:0:0 | 23:50 |
| Untouchab1e | BusID "PCI:2:0:0" | 23:50 |
| mrgenericuser | yes | 23:50 |
| olskolirc | color test | 23:50 |
| Untouchab1e | ok, and I just put this under device0, right? I dont add a device1 section? | 23:51 |
| mrgenericuser | that is correct captialization | 23:51 |
| mrgenericuser | yes | 23:51 |
| Kittykis | Dacvak, not entirely sure, but wouldn't you also need sudo in front of mount? | 23:51 |
| Untouchab1e | ok.. | 23:51 |
| Untouchab1e | What can happen when I reboot now then? :P | 23:51 |
| Kittykis | again, i'm a newb, but guessin | 23:51 |
| Kittykis | g | 23:51 |
| Dacvak | I had it there | 23:51 |
| mrgenericuser | see what that does, if it breaks, just put # in front and restart to reset | 23:51 |
| Kittykis | oh | 23:51 |
| Untouchab1e | I mean, if things dont work | 23:51 |
| sirninja | ok... So I have ubuntu installed via wubi. I was trying to use wine to run a game that was already installed in windows, so I symlinked the /host directory (which contains the C drive) to ~/.wine/drive_c. now windows will not boot even under safe mode.

| Untouchab1e | riccardo: if you are using Ubuntu 9.04, just check System --> Admin --> hardware drivers | 23:57 |
| bazhang | riccardo, go to hardware drivers in system administration | 23:57 |
| riccardo | i kno | 23:57 |
| riccardo | there's nothing | 23:57 |
| riccardo | in 8.04 was simple | 23:58 |

| Untouchab1e | Bodsda: ah, ok | 23:58 |
| Untouchab1e | forget I said it then :P | 23:58 |
| Dr_Willis | a little more info then 'gts' | 23:58 |
| bazhang | riccardo, please tell us the exact card | 23:58 |
