| Flare183 | jatt: You would need a modified ethernet cable to do that. (AKA Internet connection sharing) | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| MTeck | jatt: you could use wireless | 00:00 |
| omniplatform_ | Hi, I have had problems with ubuntu installed via wubi. I checked the md5 of the image i downloaded and it matches | 00:00 |
| SealedWithAKiss | Halitech, everything is fine now. The card is working at a basic level though right, how do I configure it to run at it's best? | 00:00 |
| jatt | thanks, I read somthing like NAT, is that relevant for this? | 00:01 |
| Halitech | SealedWithAKiss, look in the menus, you should now see the ati catalyst control center listed, you can change settings there | 00:01 |
| jatt | I can connect from one laptop to another using wireless in ad-hoc mode | 00:01 |
| jatt | I can download files with ssh that way | 00:01 |
| Flare183 | !inetsharing | jatt | 00:01 |
| ubottu | jatt: If you want to share the internet connection of your ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php | 00:01 |
| jatt | but I want to have access to the internet from my second laptop | 00:01 |
| jatt | thanks will read that | 00:02 |
| Flare183 | jatt: Your welcome. :) | 00:02 |
| aeolian | Halitech: Yeah. It notices a device, calling it "Solid Year" or so instead of referring to it as a Webcam. | 00:02 |
| Nikelandjelo | Did smb have a problem with gnome, when buttons on panel (Applications, Places, etc) don't work and you can't run any program, except those, which've already run on autostart? | 00:02 |
| Halitech | aeolian, can you use pastebin to show us the output? | 00:02 |
| Skunkwaffle | question: I'm setting up a dual boot system, vista/ubuntu, with a second hard drive for music/pictures/documents/etc. Is it easier to make it a linux drive and let windows access it, or make it a windows drive and let ubuntu access it? | 00:03 |
| aeolian | Halitech: http://paste.ubuntu.com/258986/ | 00:04 |
| omniplatform_ | when I boot from the Windows OS selector, and select Ubuntu, I get two very brief messages, then it reboots | 00:04 |
| Flare183 | Skunkwaffle: Windows can not access Linux partitions without special software/drivers. | 00:04 |
| boss_mc | Skunkwaffle: windows drive (either ntfs or fat) | 00:04 |
| Flare183 | omniplatform_: Grub is needed to fix that problem, the Windows startup selector doesn't work. | 00:05 |
| MTeck | omniplatform_: Are you trying to use wubi? | 00:05 |
| omniplatform_ | yes, I am using wubi Flare183: how do I do that? | 00:06 |
| Skunkwaffle | okay, and then I can just give the Linux user permissions for the entire drive right? | 00:06 |
| CuppaTea | whats the name of ssl dev im trying to install libtorrent and rtorrent | 00:06 |
| lordnikon | i have a netbook with ubuntu9.04 and the wifi is not working | 00:06 |
| Flare183 | omniplatform_: Let MTeck help you with that, I don't know much about wubi. | 00:06 |
| Skunkwaffle | I mean I don't have to set it for every file do I? | 00:06 |
| Flare183 | !wifi | lordnikon | 00:06 |
| ubottu | lordnikon: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 00:06 |
| omniplatform_ | I checked md5 of the image i downloaded, and it mathched | 00:06 |
| omniplatform_ | matched | 00:07 |
| MTeck | Flare183: I don't really know much either.. | 00:07 |
| MTeck | !wubi | 00:07 |
| ubottu | Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. | 00:07 |
| Flare183 | MTeck: Uh oh. | 00:07 |
| omniplatform_ | huh. I may just scratched trying to do wubi, and install ubuntu on its own partition | 00:07 |
| MTeck | omniplatform_: You'll get better performance that way ;) | 00:08 |
| MTeck | omniplatform_: I was going to suggest following the links | 00:08 |
| Nikelandjelo | which dirs do I have to remove if I want to "clean" gnome for certain user? | 00:08 |
| Halitech | aeolian, no idea, never heard of it and neither has google | 00:08 |
| Flare183 | omniplatform_: Yup, MTeck is right, but just be careful. You don't want to delete windows (unless you are going to on purpose) | 00:08 |
| aeolian | Halitech: Ouch. >_o Thanks for the help anyways though. | 00:08 |
| MTeck | Nikelandjelo: .gnome* | 00:09 |
| MTeck | omniplatform_: if you can give me the error messages I might be able to help though | 00:09 |
| MTeck | omniplatform_: I'll do what I can | 00:10 |
| CuppaTea | anyone installed libtorrent and rtorrent before I need a little help | 00:10 |
| === sekrit is now known as charitwo | ||

| crdlb | CuppaTea: what's wrong with the official package? | 00:10 |
| MTeck | Shoe: you've asked this a few days now too - please read the documentation | 00:11 |
| j2daosh | can someone pastebin the standard ubuntu 9.04 sources.list? i dont need the extras, but right now i dont even have the multi-verse, restricted, community repos in my sources list :( | 00:11 |

| Shoe | no, I haven't | 00:11 |
| CuppaTea | .? can you help me please I a total noob to linux. | 00:11 |
| MTeck | !ask | CuppaTea | 00:11 |
| ubottu | CuppaTea: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 00:11 |
| crdlb | CuppaTea: 'sudo apt-get install rtorrent' (or use Synaptic) | 00:11 |
| CuppaTea | k, sorry people | 00:12 |
| MTeck | CuppaTea: I prefer ctorrent - just fyi | 00:12 |

| zamba | does linux/ubuntu support fingerprint authentication? | 00:15 |
| mnaines | Zamba, biometrics, you mean | 00:15 |
| Flare183 | zamba: You mean like from a fingerprint reader? | 00:15 |
| Flare183 | zamba: If so, then yes. | 00:15 |
| zamba | Flare183: yup | 00:15 |
| mnaines | Flare183: He means Biometrics | 00:15 |
| zamba | maybe i do :) | 00:15 |
| MTeck | !biometrics | 00:15 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about biometrics | 00:15 |
| MTeck | :( | 00:15 |
| Flare183 | mnaines: I know. :) | 00:16 |
| codazoda | In Gnome, when connected to my sftp server, paste is disabled (gray). I can connect via FTP and add, delete, or edit any file on the system. Any idea why paste would be disabled? | 00:16 |
| codazoda | Sorry, I can connect via SSH. | 00:16 |
| mnaines | Fingerprint scanners or retinal scanners are two forms of biometrics | 00:16 |
| zamba | mnaines: package? info? anything? | 00:16 |
| mnaines | Personally, I prefer retinal scanners myself | 00:16 |
| zamba | i basically want to replace all operations where i usually enter my password with using my finger | 00:16 |
| zamba | with password as a fall-back | 00:17 |
| mnaines | Then you'll need a dedicated USB biometrics device | 00:17 |
| zamba | i have a laptop with an integrated fingerprint reader | 00:17 |
| mnaines | APC makes one pretty cheap, but its not without flaws | 00:17 |
| Flare183 | mnaines: Or, use the intergrated one if he has one. | 00:17 |
| MTeck | mnaines: he's asking for packages now | 00:18 |
| acicula | zamba: slightly off topic, but most laptop integrated fingerprint readers are easily fooled, but i havent been able to get mine working either :/ | 00:18 |
| mnaines | APC's version primarily is a multi-password manager...Input all your passwords and the APC scanner will let you use your fingerprint in place of passwords...But Synaptic does not have anything for biometrics scannersa | 00:18 |
| zamba | why are you talking about me like i'm not in the room? :) | 00:18 |
| MTeck | probably a tutorial or something too | 00:18 |
| MTeck | zamba: me? | 00:18 |
| zamba | acicula: security's not really a big issue.. i just want it for neatness :) | 00:19 |
| zamba | and proof of concept | 00:19 |
| mnaines | acicula: As with all fingerprint scanners, the best way to get past them is to "convince" the person registered for the scanner to unlock it for you | 00:19 |
| mnaines | Those things are cheap (cheap in government terms) and near-impossible to hack | 00:19 |
| j2daosh | or just photocopy your finger... | 00:19 |
| acicula | mnaines: well yes off course, but most laptop's carry enough prints of the operator and are easily fooled by scotch tape and some glue | 00:20 |
| mnaines | j2daosh: The good fingerprint scanners also look for a heat source | 00:20 |
| zamba | don't start discussing anything until you've helped me! :) | 00:20 |
| mnaines | The heat source has to be 99 degrees Fahrenheit in addition to having the proper fingerprint | 00:20 |
| MTeck | zamba: I think I can...... | 00:20 |
| MTeck | zamba: http://ubuntu-unleashed.com/2008/04/get-your-fingerprint-reader-to-work-in-ubuntu.html | 00:20 |
| j2daosh | mnaines: well what do you think your going to use to push the piece of paper down with? | 00:20 |
| Flare183 | Alright, you guys Let keep on topic. | 00:20 |
| zamba | MTeck: thanks! | 00:20 |
| j2daosh | a dead finger? | 00:20 |
| j2daosh | lol | 00:20 |
| MTeck | zamba: I skimmed that and it looks good - sorry for the lack of an answer for so long | 00:21 |
| MTeck | zamba: backup first though | 00:21 |
| mnaines | MTeck, personally, I don't like fingerprint scanners...I prefer smart cards | 00:21 |
| acicula | zamba: i read something about karmic and face recognition too i think | 00:22 |
| MTeck | mnaines: we don't care | 00:22 |
| zamba | acicula: using a web cam? | 00:22 |
| zamba | MTeck: passwords will still work, right? | 00:22 |
| MTeck | zamba: that plays around with pam so you could get locked out - ya | 00:22 |
| acicula | zamba: failing that the fallback is telekinesis.. ;) | 00:22 |
| mnaines | acicula: Retinal scanner is better than facial recognition, especially now that medical professionals can successfully do face transplants | 00:22 |
| zamba | acicula: hehhe | 00:22 |
| j2daosh | i just sent you a link mnaines, 3 things you can do to pass a fingerprint scanner | 00:23 |
| j2daosh | :) | 00:23 |
| EvilPenguin | ikonia: nothing man | 00:23 |
| EvilPenguin | :9 | 00:23 |
| MTeck | !o4o | mnaines & acicula | 00:23 |
| zamba | MTeck: ah, that's no worries.. i've had my fights with pam previously - i'm all up for a new one :) | 00:23 |

| mnaines | I'm a hacker, j2daosh...I know how to get past biometrics scanners | 00:23 |
| zamba | j2daosh: i'd like to see that myself.. mind pm-ing me the same? | 00:23 |
| j2daosh | and now im going to go away for 19 minutes while i update with ubuntu-desktop and kubuntu-desktop | 00:23 |
| MTeck | mnaines: stop - take this discussion to -offtopic | 00:24 |
| antonius602 | so if i want to update my programs version <any program>, and ubuntu's repos are locked to a certain version....which sucks...should i apt-get purge it, and download the deb package from their website? is this advised? | 00:24 |
| acicula | antonius602: updates are tied to an ubuntu version, that's what makes sure it all works | 00:25 |
| antonius602 | yeah... | 00:25 |
| acicula | antonius602: if you want something newer you can install debs manually, or update to a never revision of ubuntu | 00:25 |
| MTeck | antonius602: You can open synaptic, find the package, and lock/unlock them | 00:25 |
| MTeck | I forgot how to do it via cli | 00:26 |
| antonius602 | acicula: not really...deluge in 8.10 was locked to 0.5.x, and the website had a 1.6 deb package ...which worked fine | 00:26 |
| antonius602 | Mteck: that's interesting...i'll check that out | 00:26 |
| acicula | !fine | 00:26 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about fine | 00:26 |
| antonius602 | and the deb package was for that particular release... | 00:26 |
| acicula | ugh, antonius602 what may be fine for you may not be fine for everyone, though yeh that seems a bit outdated | 00:26 |
| antonius602 | acicula: i guess i answered my own question | 00:27 |
| MTeck | antonius602: When Ubuntu releases a new version - they lock the packages in the repositories | 00:27 |
| antonius602 | Mteck: thanks, didn't know that.. | 00:27 |
| mnaines | !best | acicula | 00:27 |
| ubottu | acicula: 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. | 00:27 |
| mnaines | acicula, that's the right command | 00:27 |
| acicula | mnaines: yeh not what i was looking for | 00:27 |
| antonius602 | MTeck: I'm sticking with a rolling distro, tho...Ubuntu is just for Vbox fun...TRYING to see the hype...thanks much, tho | 00:27 |
| MTeck | antonius602: Like he said, you can download a more up to date deb or even add a PPA to keep up the latest versions | 00:28 |
| j2daosh | acicula was looking for what he said "fine to you might not be fine to me" | 00:28 |
| acicula | ^^ | 00:28 |
| mnaines | j2daosh, ubotto needs to be updated, it seems | 00:28 |
| MTeck | antonius602: I thought about a rolling distro once and just decided I enjoy the way this works | 00:28 |
| j2daosh | yeah, alittle bit | 00:28 |
| MTeck | !wfm | j2daosh | 00:28 |
| ubottu | j2daosh: Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ | 00:28 |
| antonius602 | MTeck: there's more to linux than ubuntu, i've learned...but...please, nobody freak out that i said that...I prefer rolling distros...i have a CHOICE to upgrade packages | 00:29 |
| antonius602 | ^^easily that is | 00:29 |
| mnaines | Looks like someone in here knows commands | 00:29 |
| j2daosh | MTeck: not quite what acicula was going for, but it "works for me" :) | 00:29 |
| MTeck | antonius602: yup - there's actually a distro that pulls the latest source from the maintainer and compiles it - even more bleeding edge than gentoo or lfs | 00:29 |
| antonius602 | MTeck: what's this one called? | 00:30 |
| acicula | antonius602: that's definitly an offtopic discussion, if you want bleeding edge go karmic or distros that aim for that sort of thing | 00:30 |
| j2daosh | antonius602: "always broke" | 00:30 |
| antonius602 | my gentoo system isn't broke...unless i break it | 00:30 |
| MTeck | antonius602: I don't remember | 00:30 |
| antonius602 | tyvm....lamo | 00:31 |
| MTeck | anyway - this is offtopic | 00:31 |
| antonius602 | LAME-o...that is | 00:31 |
| antonius602 | sorry, didn't bow down....:D | 00:31 |
| acicula | off course , you hack your kernel to get it to compile amirite | 00:31 |
| antonius602 | MTeck: thanks for the non-fanboy responses....cheers, mate | 00:32 |
| MTeck | antonius602: I'm a seasoned ubuntu member - comes w/ the territory ;) | 00:32 |
| Ben64 | antonius602: chillax dude, most people just prefer stability over "new" | 00:32 |
| antonius602 | relaxed...just can't get a simple question across if it in some way questions Ubuntology... | 00:33 |
| antonius602 | it's like fundamentalist christianity around here sometimes....lighten up fanboys! | 00:33 |
| Ben64 | well this is just a ubuntu support chan.... | 00:33 |
| antonius602 | like i said | 00:33 |
| antonius602 | thatnks for the support, Mteck | 00:33 |
| MTeck | antonius602: np | 00:33 |
| acicula | your question was answered, and then you complained? | 00:33 |
| MTeck | acicula: stop | 00:34 |
| j2daosh | who wants to go smoke with me lol | 00:34 |
| MTeck | Please - let's get back to the topic of this channel "Official Ubuntu Support Channel" | 00:34 |
| j2daosh | brb | 00:34 |
| acicula | MTeck: i hve to, battery's at 2% :D | 00:34 |
| jMyles | j2daosh: I'm down. :-) | 00:34 |
| mnaines | How much of a difference does 100mA make on battery runtime for laptops? | 00:36 |
| Ben64 | mnaines: depends how much said laptop uses per minute | 00:36 |
| mnaines | Ben64: Is there a way I can determine that? | 00:36 |
| Ben64 | mnaines: i have an old xubuntu on my laptop, the power manager shows power usage in graph form | 00:37 |
| Ben64 | dunno if they still have that | 00:37 |
| Ben64 | otherwise, you could do it the regular way, turn on the computer with a full battery, time how long it takes to die | 00:37 |
| mnaines | Ben64: Hmm...Would the "Battery Charge Monitor" applet show that? | 00:37 |
| Ben64 | mnaines: not sure what it was called on my computer | 00:38 |
| Ben64 | showed %battery left, current power usage in watts, estimated time left | 00:38 |
| mnaines | Ben64, depends on what mode I set it for...If I set it for OnDemand or Performance, it is exactly 4 hours of runtime on a 6000mAh battery, but if I manually set the CPU frequency for 800MHz (it can go up to 1.86GHz), the time goes up to exactly 5 hours on a full charge | 00:39 |
| lordnikon | what is the command to install something from the desktop in ubuntu | 00:39 |
| lordnikon | i was to use the terminal | 00:39 |
| lordnikon | !make | 00:39 |
| ubottu | Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) | 00:39 |
| Ben64 | well then you would get (6100/6000)*time on a battery with 100 more mah | 00:40 |
| BioVore | lordnikon: If you know the terminal.. just keep using the terminal :-) | 00:40 |
| lordnikon | i know but what is the command | 00:40 |
| mnaines | lordnikon: cd to the /home/(username)/Desktop/(program folder) then type sudo make install | 00:40 |
| lordnikon | make...? | 00:40 |
| j2daosh | lordnikon: use make if you have the source, if not, apt-get | 00:40 |
| lordnikon | i have the files | 00:40 |
| Halitech | lordnikon, are they .deb files, a tar file or ?? | 00:41 |
| Koenigsegg | Ok, just checking. Anyone managed to connect a wii to the net via a ubuntu laptop with wireless ad hoc? | 00:41 |
| j2daosh | then use 'make' | 00:41 |
| mnaines | lordnikon, sudo make install will compile and install the program for you...Just because you have the files doesn't mean they are compiled yet | 00:41 |
| paneo | Hi. I have activated a Nvidia driver from "Hardware Drivers", but the driver isn't active. | 00:41 |
| j2daosh | and u might want to make sure that you have 'build-essential' installed | 00:41 |
| lordnikon | it is a tar.gz file | 00:41 |
| Repentinus | Is there a Ubuntu package for GCC 4.5.0 experimental? | 00:41 |
| lordnikon | i am trying to get the wifi working on a friends comp | 00:41 |
| BioVore | lordnikon: If its a standard gnu package.. ./configure --prefix=/usr && make | 00:42 |
| MTeck | lordnikon: to install something, I use aptitude - others use synaptic or apt-get | 00:42 |
| mnaines | lordnikon, then you have to compile them manually...If it was a .deb package, it would do the work for you | 00:42 |
| Halitech | lordnikon, then extract the files, look in the folder for a readme or install file and follow the directions | 00:42 |
| j2daosh | he needs to untar it first | 00:42 |
| j2daosh | after that 'make', 'make install', 'install' | 00:42 |
| youcanlinux | #ubuntu-ca | 00:42 |
| mnaines | lordnikon, you have to first extract the files, then cd to the folder the files were extracted to, then type "sudo make install" and it will do the rest for you...Once its done, you should be good to go | 00:43 |
| mnaines | lordnikon, "sudo make install" is actually two commands in one. Using that command, you are telling the shell to compile AND install the program | 00:44 |
| jatt | hi, I activated the remote desktop on a machine (gnome) which client program should I use to access it? | 00:44 |
| Halitech | lordnikon, info here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingEasyHowTo | 00:45 |
| x404x | lordnikon use gunzip name then tar -xvf name | 00:45 |
| kaiser101231 | can someone help with this error in vbox | 00:45 |
| kaiser101231 | http://yfrog.com/5r456123j | 00:45 |
| paneo | jatt: Go to Applications -> Internet | 00:45 |
| jatt | yes... | 00:46 |
| MTeck | kaiser101231: #vbox | 00:46 |
| j2daosh | jatt: you can use remote desktop, or vnc (if memeory servers me correctly) | 00:46 |
| MTeck | kaiser101231: next time- alt+printscreen | 00:46 |
| jatt | I tried rdesktop and it gives me the error: | 00:47 |
| jatt | ERROR: 10.24.0.27: unable to connect | 00:47 |
| j2daosh | s/memeory/memory/ | 00:47 |
| jatt | I can ping, ssh that machine though. | 00:47 |
| mnaines | jatt, don't forget to use a secure SSH connection, and you can use the "Passwords and Encryption Keys" to encrypt the SSH connection at RSA 8192 bit | 00:47 |
| j2daosh | netstat the other box and make sure that the server is listening for connections | 00:47 |
| MTeck | jatt: you're trying ot use vnc? | 00:48 |
| j2daosh | MTeck: nah i think he is trying to use remote desktop | 00:48 |
| jatt | MTeck: no. Just the gnome provided remote desktop functionality | 00:48 |
| mnaines | MTeck, if I am understanding him right, he's trying to use either a VPN or Remote Desktop | 00:48 |
| acicula | jatt rdesktop <ip> | 00:48 |
| MTeck | jatt: gnome to gnome? | 00:48 |
| MTeck | or gnome to windows? | 00:48 |
| j2daosh | its a gnome box that is remote desktop enabled, he wanted to know the client to use. didn't think to ask if he meant windows to linux :P | 00:49 |
| MTeck | jatt: I'm just prodding for !details | 00:50 |
| jatt | both machines are using linux :) | 00:50 |
| lordnikon1 | i downloaded madwifi to help a friend out with her wifi not working | 00:50 |
| mnaines | jatt, two different distros or the same distro? | 00:50 |
| niceonenil | hello? | 00:50 |
| niceonenil | any body here can help me please | 00:50 |
| jatt | same, Ubuntu Jaunty. | 00:50 |
| MTeck | !ask | niceonenil | 00:50 |
| ubottu | niceonenil: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 00:50 |
| jatt | hmm nmap says: | 00:50 |
| jatt | 5900/tcp open vnc | 00:50 |
| jatt | on the server, is this gnome remote desktop functionality the same as vnc? | 00:51 |
| lordnikon1 | i have to get the wifi working on an asus eeepc 1005hab | 00:51 |
| MTeck | no | 00:51 |
| jatt | vnc is not installed on the server. | 00:51 |
| lordnikon1 | help me please | 00:51 |
| jatt | dpkg -l | grep vnc says nothing... | 00:51 |
| jatt | hm. | 00:51 |
| altf2o | simple question, i know i have 2 disks in my server on /dev/[sda/sdb] but have forgotten their geometry. df -h doesn't tell the whole story, anyone know where the disk geometry (or similar) is stored? | 00:51 |
| mnaines | jatt, that could be the problem...Anytime you remote into a server, both the client and the server have to be configured for remote access | 00:51 |
| Ben64 | jatt: it is vnc | 00:51 |
| niceonenil | hello, i need some body to give me few mints to help me in Ubuntu | 00:51 |
| jatt | welll, with vncviewer works | 00:51 |
| altf2o | Ubuntu 9.04 if it matters. | 00:51 |
| jatt | I thought a special program was needed. | 00:51 |
| Ben64 | altf2o: what do you mean geometry | 00:52 |
| jatt | I see, I thought it was a different technology and not vnc, nice to know | 00:52 |
| mnaines | jatt, go to "places" and click on "connect to server" and see if it works | 00:52 |
| MTeck | jatt: 5900 is vnc | 00:52 |
| MTeck | !vnc | 00:52 |
| altf2o | Ben64: total capacity | 00:52 |
| ubottu | VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 00:52 |
| acicula | jatt: it's vnc not rdp, thought i tried that a few days ago, so rdesktop wont work :P | 00:52 |
| altf2o | i could crack the case and look at the drives, but i know i'll need to know this later as well. | 00:53 |
| niceonenil | please i really need some body to help me - iam very new in this | 00:53 |
| jatt | I see. I don't like the vncviewer program will try another one | 00:53 |
| Ben64 | altf2o: do you realize that hard drive capacities are never what are advertised? Manufacturers use GB=1000MB instead of 1024MB | 00:53 |
| mnaines | niceonenil, we cannot help you if we do not know what the problem is | 00:53 |
| jatt | but now is working I see the remote desktop right now | 00:53 |
| MTeck | jatt: on the remote system, install the server component and run it, then run the client on your local system ex. xvncserver/xvncviewer | 00:53 |
| acicula | MTeck: just enabling remote desktop sharing will give a vnc access point | 00:54 |
| jatt | MTeck: is running | 00:54 |
| altf2o | Ben64: yep. I don't need down to the byte value, a general idea will be enough. I just have so many partitions and things like swap don't seem to be listed. So i'd just like something that gives a general overview | 00:54 |
| jatt | MTeck: is working now thanks | 00:54 |
| MTeck | :) | 00:54 |
| acicula | MTeck: at least it seems to be, i just tried it | 00:54 |
| acicula | rdp i guess was virtualbox | 00:54 |
| mnaines | altf2o: what was your original question? Sorry, I was helping someone else | 00:54 |
| jatt | but it's damn slow :) | 00:54 |
| Ben64 | altf2o: you can try parted to look at partitions, but it can be a dangerous program (like deleting partitions) | 00:54 |
| niceonenil | the problem is - iam trying to open the VISUAL EFFECT of my Ubuntu to choose Extra Effect but its gives me ( couldnt be enabled ) | 00:54 |
| jatt | I mean the laptops are near each other | 00:54 |
| paneo | Please... help me! | 00:54 |
| paneo | I have activated a Nvidia driver from "Hardware Drivers", but the driver isn't active. | 00:54 |
| MTeck | !freenx | jatt | 00:54 |
| ubottu | jatt: FreeNX is advanced remote desktop technology. For more information and install instructions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX | 00:54 |
| acicula | jatt: vnc is compressing the image and sending it to you, so yeah | 00:55 |
| Ben64 | paneo: what happens when you open a terminal and type "glxgears" | 00:55 |
| mnaines | I don't like that setup, acicula | 00:55 |
| altf2o | mnaines: 'df -h' isn't giving me the whole picture, just wondering if there's some place the entire disk capacity\geometry is stored. I was hoping for something simple like in /proc/.... perhaps not though. | 00:55 |
| Ben64 | altf2o: you can try parted to look at partitions, but it can be a dangerous program (like deleting partitions) | 00:55 |
| niceonenil | mnaies? | 00:56 |
| mnaines | alt2fo, what was the disk capacity rated for? | 00:56 |
| jatt | in my previous job my experience was that rdesktop was faster than vnc (at list on windows machines), so that's why I was hoping the Remote Desktop functionality was based on RDP but it turned out to be the plain old vnc :) | 00:56 |
| paneo | Ben64: The OS display... 'Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual' | 00:56 |
| Ben64 | paneo: did you reset after activating the nvidia driver | 00:57 |
| MTeck | jatt: there's !tightvnc which is supposed to be faster - but !freenx runs over ssh and is much much faster (not exactly the easiest) | 00:57 |
| mnaines | jatt, you want advice from a hacker, go with the SSH connection...May not be the most user-friendly, but even guys like me can't crack the connection and intercept the data | 00:57 |
| altf2o | mnaines: this is an old box i'm using as my "test server" i honestly haven't opened the case in probably ~4yr. I /could/ do that, i was just wanting to expand it w/ a RAID card and a few drives, wondering what i already got in there. | 00:58 |
| wesley | hello guys got a audigy sound card. it doesnt work, if i mess around with the system, preferences, sound, sometimes i will here a sound or even a youtube video in the background, but it never stays running or plays anything else, this is on a dell dimension 8300. on special note, pclinuxos 2007 can play audio on this machine perfect, but thats not an option for os | 00:58 |
| niceonenil | guys please, some body communicate with me | 00:58 |
| SealedWithAKiss | How do I change the background colour of my Applications menu etc? | 00:58 |
| MTeck | mnaines: I've cracked them - not impossible | 00:58 |
| MTeck | !patience | niceonenil | 00:58 |
| ubottu | niceonenil: 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. | 00:58 |
| Ben64 | altf2o: ~~~you can try parted to look at partitions, but it can be a dangerous program (like deleting partitions)~~~~ | 00:58 |
| mnaines | MTeck: not impossible, I agree, but for a run-of-the-mill script kiddie, its right up there | 00:58 |
| jatt | mnaines: you are right :) I've now an ssh connection open I was just trying to try the remote desktop functionality. | 00:58 |
| MTeck | SealedWithAKiss: System > Preferences > Appearance iirc | 00:59 |
| Ben64 | altf2o: also, you can do "hdparm -iI /dev/sda" to find information of the drive itself | 00:59 |
| altf2o | Ben64: sorry :), thank you i'm looking at info on it now. I'd hate to screw things u | 00:59 |
| mnaines | niceonenil: The reason we are not answering you is because you have not told us what the problem is | 00:59 |
| paneo | Ben64: I have reseted, but the X display various errors... "Nvidia kernel not loaded" | 00:59 |
| niceonenil | ok - i need to enable my ( visual effect and i cant - i need to install and i cant ) | 00:59 |
| acicula | niceonenil: if it tells you desktop effects could not be enabled it generally means the right video driver is not yet loaded | 00:59 |
| MTeck | jatt: X Forwarding is an option too | 00:59 |
| niceonenil | how can i fix it ? | 00:59 |
| === Joseph is now known as poseidon | ||
| wesley | how do you install emu10k1, thats the driver pclinuxos 07 uses | 00:59 |
| Ben64 | x forwarding is god awful slow | 00:59 |
| MTeck | depends - sometimes you can pull off good speed | 01:00 |
| mnaines | MTeck, you know, this is the first place on the internet I've been where I can use the words "script kiddie" without getting my computer messed with...All the people on Yahoo Chat who claim to be hackers will mess up your computer if you call them a script kiddie | 01:00 |
| Ben64 | mnaines: lol, they can't do anything | 01:01 |
| altf2o | cool, 60GB and 160GB good deal, thanks guys :) | 01:01 |
| niceonenil | can i have dialog window with some body here ? | 01:01 |

| Halitech | mnaines, would be interesting to see them try to mess up a linux computer | 01:02 |

| SealedWithAKiss | MTeck, to change the background colour of the menus and windows? They're a default ugly grey. | 01:05 |
| ssccss | :( | 01:05 |
| Halitech | niceonenil, use Add/Remove to install programs | 01:05 |
| acicula | niceonenil: menu-> add/remove or apt-get/apitude on a console | 01:05 |
| MTeck | SealedWithAKiss: oh - sorry - the second tab I think | 01:05 |
| niceonenil | it give me always ( E: couldnt find the package ) | 01:06 |
| niceonenil | when i do Sudo apt-get | 01:06 |

| niceonenil | and i want to install it - but its always telling me so | 01:07 |
| niceonenil | i didn even two mirror's | 01:07 |
| Halitech | niceonenil, themes you don't need to install with apt-get | 01:07 |
| niceonenil | then guide me please | 01:07 |
| Halitech | niceonenil, depends on the theme, it should have install instructions with it | 01:08 |
| MTeck | niceonenil: open the themes section - drag/drop the file there | 01:08 |

| Halitech | niceonenil, as far as your video card, have you checked System - admin - hardware drivers to see if there are any drivers to enable? | 01:09 |

| simran | Halitech: that was my thread | 01:21 |
| nejode | Koesigsegg: run.. lsb_release -a | 01:21 |
| viniciusfs | quidnunc, and was a hardware fault | 01:21 |
| j2daosh | what is the "chkdsk" of ubuntu? | 01:21 |
| viniciusfs | j2daosh, fsck | 01:22 |
| Halitech | TheStarLion, so both drives were pointing to the same mount location? | 01:22 |
| j2daosh | i tried e2fsck but that didn't do it | 01:22 |
| Dr_Willis | j2daosh: what are you wantng to check exactly? | 01:22 |
| j2daosh | well i dont want to check, i want to fix | 01:22 |
| Halitech | simran, ahhh, nothing in there to help out yet? | 01:22 |
| viniciusfs | j2daosh, fsck but file system cant be mounted | 01:22 |
| j2daosh | the superblock doesn't match the physical space | 01:22 |
| simran | Halitech: nope | 01:23 |
| j2daosh | viniciusfs: well its gonna have to be, no other choice | 01:23 |
| antonius602 | j2doash: ntfs partition? | 01:23 |
| TheStarLion | Halitech: no, it reads /media/sdb1 for sdb1 one, and /media/sda1 for sda1 | 01:23 |
| simran | when partitioning a drive for ubuntu setup - its it ok to first create an "extended" partition and then create 3 partitions within that for ubuntu | 01:23 |
| Halitech | simran, bummer | 01:23 |
| simran | yep | 01:23 |
| simran | is it* | 01:23 |
| Dr_Willis | simran: yes. but normally i do 3 primaries, then a extended(with liogicals) at the end. | 01:23 |
| quidnunc | viniciusfs: Thanks. I'm just surprised that I have to reboot. I don't understand why that would be necessary. | 01:23 |
| Koenigsegg | nejode: "No lsb modules are available" But no real error messages either | 01:23 |
| quidnunc | This is the second time this has happened to me. | 01:23 |
| TheStarLion | Halitech: Should I just remove the line I added, and see if it boots normally? | 01:23 |
| Dr_Willis | simran: windows in the past has had issues not beeing on a primary partition. Some of my systems just have 4 primaries. | 01:24 |
| Halitech | TheStarLion, yes, and then we'll go from there | 01:24 |
| quidnunc | viniciusfs: badblocks turned up nothing last time | 01:24 |
| nobodyslamb | I have been trying to install ubuntu 9.04 on my desktop from the livecd (32-bit), but I cannot partition my drive (all data on drive may be overwritten). when I get to the partition setup screen, no buttons other than back and forward are available. | 01:24 |
| paissad-hp | hi everybody ! | 01:24 |
| nobodyslamb | also, when I open gparted from system-admin->partition editor, it shows no devices, and continues to show no devices when I click refresh. I had vista on here before, but I used a friend's xp disc to wipe the hard drive (so the xp disk could see the drive) | 01:24 |
| viniciusfs | quidnunc, check your disk for hardware faults, kernel usually locks file system to prevent data loss | 01:24 |
| niceonenil | i see only ignoring - i see only ignoring | 01:25 |

| _20eric06_ | Guys, can anyone help me fix a GRUB boot? | 01:25 |
| _20eric06_ | I get GRUB Hard Disk Error | 01:25 |
| niceonenil | this is what makes me not interested to learn any thing new - as no one is trying to offer the help | 01:25 |
| nejode | koesigsegg: you hvae to use the "-a" at the end | 01:25 |
| nejode | *have | 01:25 |
| simran | Dr_Willis: i have windows primary partition (split into 2) ....from the second windows partition i created an extended partition and 3 logical paritions within that (as the ubuntu docs suggested) | 01:25 |
| ejv | why not just tell us that you have an error, and the error message? don't ask us if we can or can't do something.... | 01:26 |
| _20eric06_ | I'm in a livecd right now on a terminal | 01:26 |
| nejode | lsb_release -a | 01:26 |
| antonius602 | _20eric06_: boot live cd, and "sudo grub install sda" | 01:26 |
| Koenigsegg | nejode: I did! | 01:26 |
| _20eric06_ | grub install sda | 01:26 |

| paissad-hp | http://pastebin.fr/5407 | 01:26 |
| quidnunc | viniciusfs: What would happen differently if the disk was full? | 01:26 |
| viniciusfs | quidnunc, in my case the problem was hba driver causing IO erros trying to access disks via SAN | 01:26 |
| _20eric06_ | Okay... | 01:26 |
| ejv | whats the error message | 01:26 |
| paissad-hp | can someone help me please ? | 01:26 |
| paissad-hp | thanks in advance | 01:26 |
| TheStarLion | Halitech: Uhm, I think something might be wrong, it's still doing it even after removing the line | 01:26 |
| ejv | !ask | 01:26 |
| ubottu | 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. :-) | 01:26 |
| antonius602 | _20eric06_: or something to that effect | 01:26 |
| nejode | Koenigsegg.... strange! | 01:26 |
| antonius602 | google : ubuntu fix grub | 01:26 |
| Dr_Willis | simran: or just leave a part of the drive unallocated and let the installer auto-partition it. Your setup sounds about what the normal installer does autopmatically . | 01:26 |
| antonius602 | it should be realdily available on several howto's | 01:27 |
| niceonenil | paissad - hp, no one will help you here - i have been asking for long time some one to help and i get nothing | 01:27 |
| simran | im not familiar with the ext filesystem..does it require occasional defrags? | 01:27 |
| Koenigsegg | nejode: Hey.. Strange is my first name :-] | 01:27 |
| viniciusfs | quidnunc, im not sure about kernel locking file systems because it was full, try to free some space and remount | 01:27 |
| Dr_Willis | simran: if you ever want to 'resize' partitions.. moving space from a primary to a extended/logical can be a bit of a bother. | 01:27 |
| Halitech | TheStarLion, you did edit the /etc/fstab on the hard drive, not the live cd | 01:27 |
| _20eric06_ | antonius602: GRUB Gnu-like editing enabled etc etc etc | 01:27 |
| quidnunc | viniciusfs: How would I free some space if I can't mount? | 01:27 |
| _20eric06_ | what do I do here | 01:27 |
| TheStarLion | Halitech: Yes, I'm quite sure of that, I checked carefully, it even matched the one I'd previously edited | 01:27 |
| _20eric06_ | it's a GRUB prompt | 01:27 |
| simran | Dr_Willis: why is that? | 01:27 |
| ejv | start googling if no one knows the answer niceonenil | 01:28 |
| _20eric06_ | I have my HD mounted | 01:28 |
| antonius602 | _20eric06_: i'll find the link i used | 01:28 |
| viniciusfs | quidnunc, can you paste your /var/log/messages? | 01:28 |
| simran | Dr_Willis: i know one thing, its taking AGES.. | 01:28 |
| antonius602 | _20eric06_: hold on a sec | 01:28 |
| j2daosh | niceonenil: what is your issue? | 01:28 |
| _20eric06_ | antonius602: Can't click right now, sorry | 01:28 |
| _20eric06_ | my mouse is on another computer | 01:28 |
| Dr_Willis | simran: because it is. :) resizing all primaries is easier.. or the logicsals in an extended.. but now a days. i rarely need to resize. | 01:28 |
| simran | ok | 01:28 |
| _20eric06_ | Can you just step-by-step me? I'm new at linux | 01:28 |
| Dr_Willis | simran: if you are resizing a NTFS - that can take ages.. I found the windows resize partition tools MUCH MUCH faster. | 01:28 |
| nejode | Koesigsegg: the output of that command should give you the version you're using | 01:28 |
| Halitech | TheStarLion, ok, whats the last 3 lines on the screen? | 01:29 |
| _20eric06_ | Apparently GRUB loads at boot and all but fails to load HDC1, which has the linux system | 01:29 |
| _20eric06_ | it's installed and all, but doesn't boot | 01:29 |
| simran | Dr_Willis: damn, i dnt know why i used parted...i was going to use that acronis disc manager | 01:29 |
| antonius602 | http://pastebin.com/m2c03fe81 | 01:29 |
| Dr_Willis | simran: my normal 'routine' on a new machine (with just windiows) - use windows tools to resize the existing windows parittion. leaving part of the HD unallocated.. let the ubuntu installer install/partition the unallocated space. | 01:29 |
| antonius602 | _20eric06_ : try that | 01:29 |
| _20eric06_ | antonius602 I can't click.. | 01:29 |
| antonius602 | the pastebin | 01:29 |
| nobodyslamb | also, when I do fdisk -l on the livecd, there is no output | 01:29 |
| Dr_Willis | simran: i just use the normal windows resize tool. nothing special. normally. (i use it once on each machine :) then install linux) | 01:30 |
| ejv | just use fdisk people, fdisk /dev/sd_ | 01:30 |
| antonius602 | rightclick, openin browser | 01:30 |
| _20eric06_ | antonius602 I don't have a mouse | 01:30 |
| simran | Dr_Willis: what option do you select in the installer? | 01:30 |
| antonius602 | damn....that sucks...hold on | 01:30 |
| Dr_Willis | simran: whatever one is to use the free/unallocated space.. | 01:30 |
| simran | the last one? | 01:30 |
| simran | advancd partition or something | 01:30 |
| ruben23 | hi guys any other ways i can enhance my audio and mic voice on ubuntu with a plantronic headset | 01:30 |
| Dr_Willis | simran: I dont have the installer memorised. :) the advanced is for manual setting up.. i do that a lot also. | 01:30 |
| niceonenil | my issue is : iam going to google to find what i need ( all the time the answer or the result is very difficult to be understood) iam looking for some one to help with simple way as any Logical way to teach should be . but i cant find this way i dont know why ...... all what i need ( HOW TO FIX MY VISUAL EFFECT TO BE ENABLED , and , HOW TO INSTALL NEW THEMES AND BOOT THEMES ) do you think its too much to get learned by some one ???? | 01:30 |
| Dr_Willis | simran: theres one that uses the unallocated 'free' space.. | 01:31 |
| Koenigsegg | nejode: Yes, it did. Sorry if that's what you meant. My bad.. It's Jaunty/9.04 | 01:31 |
| antonius602 | _20eric06_ : check personal message | 01:31 |
| simran | there are 3 options - side by side, whole disc, advanced (you select the parition) | 01:31 |
| monster | hello | 01:31 |
| TheStarLion | Halitech: In order, line 1 - "/etc/init.d/rc: 390: /etc/rcS.d/S85urandom: Permission denied" line 2 - "init: Unable to execute "/bin/sh" for rc-default: Permission denied" and line 3 - "init: rc-default main process (1812) terminated with status 255" | 01:31 |
| simran | Dr_Willis: i dnt remember seeing anything about it automatically making 3 partitions | 01:31 |
| Halitech | niceonenil, I asked you about the video card and if there was anything listed under hardware drivers and you ignored my post | 01:31 |
| monster | for NetworkManager, does anyone know where the preshared key is stored for wireless? | 01:32 |
| niceonenil | what do you want to know about my Video card | 01:32 |
| TheStarLion | Halitech: at the top of all the error messages, it also says * Cannot initialize /etc/mtab | 01:32 |
| quidnunc | viniciusfs: It doesn't containing any information (just --MARK--) | 01:32 |
| monster | I have reset my router and cant connect with encryption because the key is still present | 01:32 |
| quidnunc | viniciusfs: And not even that since early this morning (when I presume the disk got remount ro) | 01:32 |
| Halitech | TheStarLion, looks like something happened to rc-default somehow | 01:32 |
| Stanto | I've attempted to use NetworkManager with Wifi to connect to a WPA / PEAP / MSChapv2 protected access point; however it just re-requests credentials for connecting to the AP each time. Attempting to sudo tail /var/log/messages shows no information. So my question is; what's the best way to diagnose this problem? And could it be that the user needs certain permissions to connect successfully? | 01:32 |
| quidnunc | viniciusfs: syslog is also uninformative | 01:33 |
| Dr_Willis | simran: perhaps you had no unallocated space.. so it dident show the optiuon | 01:33 |
| nejode | Koesigsegg: sometimes Network Manager "clowns up" and gets funny... if iwconfig starts the interface and lspci identifies it, it should work... | 01:33 |
| TheStarLion | Halitech: Would using pySDM to automount another partition on the same drive as Jaunty's main and swap partitions affect that? | 01:33 |
| monster | Stanto: I have the same problem | 01:33 |
| simran | Dr_Willis: i was just thinking that | 01:33 |
| monster | Stanto check your wpa_supplicant.log | 01:33 |
| viniciusfs | quidnunc, any hardware fault on dmesg? | 01:33 |
| simran | Dr_Willis: does it create a seperate partition for boot and home | 01:33 |
| nejode | Koesigsegg: try installing wicd | 01:33 |
| quidnunc | viniciusfs: Yeah, one sec | 01:34 |
| Halitech | TheStarLion, its possible | 01:34 |
| ruben23 | hi guys any other ways i can enhance my audio and mic voice on ubuntu with a plantronic headset | 01:34 |
| Stanto | monster: Thanks, didn't think of that at the time. It's on a friend's netbook. | 01:34 |
| TheStarLion | Halitech: I can try to use the livecd to see if there's a backup of the file, and restore it from the backup, maybe that would help? | 01:34 |
| monster | Stanto i think there is a workaround | 01:34 |
| Halitech | niceonenil, did you look in System - admin - hardware drivers to see if there was a driver there you could enable? | 01:34 |
| monster | if you change the mac address on your wireless router | 01:34 |
| Halitech | TheStarLion, can't hurt | 01:34 |
| nejode | Koesigsegg, but be careful, you have to download it first, uninstall NM and install wicd because you'll lose connection | 01:35 |
| monster | Its a retarded bug, that they have address wrong. | 01:35 |
| niceonenil | i did | 01:35 |
| Stanto | monster: Change the mac address on the wireless router to connect to a WPA/PEAP/MSChap AP ? | 01:35 |
| Dr_Willis | simran: by default no. a /boot is rarely needed these days.. a /home partition is handy however | 01:35 |
| monster | yeah | 01:35 |
| niceonenil | and there is nothing need to be | 01:35 |
| TheStarLion | Halitech: Just one problem - where do I find rc-default | 01:35 |
| quidnunc | viniciusfs: http://dpaste.com/84866/ | 01:35 |
| simran | Dr_Willis: so what partitions does it make>? | 01:35 |
| monster | Ubuntu, has an old preshared key stored for that mac | 01:35 |
| Stanto | monster: That isn't possible in this scenario; the AP is not under my control - it's in a business environment. | 01:35 |
| nejode | Koesigsegg: wait and I'll give you a link | 01:35 |
| nobodyslamb | Im having a problem installing ubuntu 9.04 on my desktop. Everytime i get to the partition setup and i cant move on or change anything. and ideas/ | 01:35 |
| nobodyslamb | any ideas?* | 01:36 |
| Dr_Willis | simran: / and a swap i think, I dont rember. :) i got systems here with 3+ hard drives i always customize. | 01:36 |
| monster | Stanto: you have to figure out how to remove the preshared key associated with that mac | 01:36 |
| niceonenil | i see only one thing there which is ( broadcom driver - and its activated ) | 01:36 |
| quidnunc | viniciusfs: I guess that indicates a H/W error | 01:36 |
| monster | i havent been able to find shit online | 01:36 |
| HaRDaWaY_ | /j pepe | 01:36 |
| HaRDaWaY_ | lol | 01:36 |
| HaRDaWaY_ | :D | 01:36 |
| Stanto | monster: Are you suggesting that Ubuntu stores a default PSK with the AP by itself that it creates? | 01:36 |
| monster | yes | 01:36 |
| monster | CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED - Disconnect event - remove keys | 01:36 |
| monster | Associated with 00:22:75:6e:8c:44 | 01:36 |
| viniciusfs | quidnunc, yes | 01:37 |
| monster | you should see something like that in the log file i suggested | 01:37 |
| viniciusfs | quidnunc, it is a server or a workstation? | 01:37 |
| simran | Dr_Willis: ah ok... | 01:37 |
| zaccour | my msi laptop don't work in ubuntu. is there a fix? | 01:37 |
| Dr_Willis | simran: when in doubt.. test with things in virtualbox :) thats a good way to explore the installer/partitioning tools. | 01:37 |
| Stanto | monster: When I've read of problems with this scenario I mention, people have suggested that using wpa_supplicant profiles have worked as opposed to using NetworkManager - have you tried that yourself? | 01:37 |
| simran | Dr_Willis: whats the purpose of v-box? | 01:38 |
| monster | I haven't that will probably work, but id rather get it working with networkmanager | 01:38 |
| cryptopsy | What's the name of that program that you can use as a wrapper to direct open window's positions on the desktop? | 01:38 |
| nobodyslamb | I have been trying to install ubuntu 9.04 on my desktop from the livecd (32-bit), but I cannot partition my drive (all data on drive may be overwritten). when I get to the partition setup screen, no buttons other than back and forward are available. | 01:38 |
| nobodyslamb | any ideas? | 01:38 |

| ger | hola alguien habla español¿ | 01:38 |
| monster | it has to be a .conf of some sort for keyring or in .gconf | 01:38 |
| Stanto | monster: I would agree; admitedly the last time I tried using NetworkManager to connect to an AP like this I was using ArchLinux and I had zero problems. | 01:38 |

| monster | gotcha | 01:39 |
| monster | yeah, try a different network manager | 01:39 |
| niceonenil | its intel | 01:39 |
| monster | that will probably fix it | 01:39 |
| TheStarLion | Halitech: Found it - for referance, /etc/event.d/rc-default | 01:39 |
| Halitech | TheStarLion, ok, will try to remember that | 01:40 |
| monster | im gonna keep digging on where the psk is stored | 01:40 |
| Stanto | monster: Frankly, the person whose laptop it is will probably wipe it and switch to Windows because of this. | 01:40 |
| TheStarLion | Halitech: But... no backup, at least not a visible one | 01:40 |
| viniciusfs | quidnunc, make backups, if possible check (and maybe change) your hardware to prevent data loss | 01:40 |
| niceonenil | iam working with dell 1525 inspiron | 01:40 |
| nejode | koesigsegg: sure man, that's the idea here | 01:40 |
| Halitech | TheStarLion, crap ... can you edit the file? or at least look at it? | 01:40 |
| monster | Stanto: pretty unforunate, i wish i new exactly how to fix it | 01:40 |
| viniciusfs | quidnunc, i've got this problem in a oracle server :| | 01:40 |
| TheStarLion | Halitech: Can do, will put in a pastebin for you | 01:40 |

| Guest6608 | I have downloaded the gnash, gstreamer, Macromedia but still cant watch online tv.. ( usanetwork.com) | 02:12 |
| Polterge|st | your best solution is to dual boot and migrate licenses and proprietary codecs from your install of windows into Ubuntu with the other open source codecs. If you do it correctly there isn't much that Ubuntu won't play | 02:12 |
| mnaines | bazhang, don't be so naive. You were the one who refused to help a person because he wasn't using ubuntu, so why should I, as another Linux user, be willing to listen to you if you will not show respect? | 02:12 |
| Polterge|st | Ubuntu is incredibly versatile when it comes to codecs I think. They just have to be installed correctly | 02:13 |

| bobo | hey guys, i just did an update today, and it added this bookmarks section to my menu>places option, and i dont like it. how do i change it | 02:23 |
| arand | Halitech: mnaines: The problem is that the support spectrum here is too broad, I do think #ubuntu would benefit from demarcation rather than "moar! moar!" | 02:23 |
| Dr_Willis | bobo: odd - i dont see any 'bookmarns' in 'places' | 02:24 |
| mnaines | arand: Clearly you do not understand that this is the only place Linux users can get help | 02:24 |
| bobo | hmmm | 02:24 |
| bobo | idk how it got there | 02:24 |
| Dr_Willis | bobo: you dident drag/drop a bookmarks directory over to the sidebar? | 02:24 |

| lunahyen | I want my wifi-enabled laptop to host internet to my non-wifi laptop with an ethernet cable.

| omac | Here's an observation about installing ubuntu on a windows harddrive through wubi. I installed it on a friends laptop. It installed a grub ok with a windows/ubuntu boot menu. ubuntu works fine. windows works fine. The only scary part was when installing it made a swap partition automatically, but it didn't ask me where it was going to put it. It didn't tell me where it was going to put the swap partition either. Can someone confirm wubi | 03:06 |
| omac | created a linux swap file on the windows partition? I didn't see it's location because the window was too small. I only noticed it being installed on /dev/hda somewhere. | 03:06 |
| FoolsRun | Hi, does anyone know if the "nice" command, if run before a mysqldump command that connets to a remote server, will treat the remote server "nicely"? | 03:06 |
| HBXv6 | json : /etc/init.d/networking restart | 03:06 |
| HBXv6 | in the terminal | 03:06 |
| HBXv6 | sudo ifdown eth0 && sudo ifup eth0 | 03:07 |
| HBXv6 | replace eth0 with the interface of your wireless | 03:07 |
| json | HBXv6: both sets of commands? | 03:07 |
| bobbyd | omac: as far as i know, WUBI operates inside mounted files that reside on the windows drive, so although ti looked like it was creating a partition, that would have been *inside* a single file on the eindoes drive | 03:07 |
| celthunder | foolsrun it would not take all the resources on your comp...it doesnt care about the server | 03:07 |
| bobbyd | omac: i could be wrong, but that's my understanding | 03:07 |
| mnaines | json: Wireless should come up as wlan0 or wifi0 | 03:07 |
| omac | thanks bobbyd. That's my understanding also. | 03:08 |
| FoolsRun | celthunder: so I'd have to ssh to the remote server and run mysqldump locally there and.. I dunno, scp the file back or something, to do what I want. | 03:08 |
| HBXv6 | no do ifdown to disable wifi and ifup to bring it back up | 03:08 |
| celthunder | FoolsRun, yeah that'd work. | 03:08 |
| mnaines | HBXv6: ifdown will not work without an interface label | 03:08 |
| abdul | hi i found this for ati xf86-video-ati-6.12.2 | 03:08 |
| mnaines | HBXv6: the actual command is ifconfig (interface) down | 03:08 |
| HBXv6 | use ifconfig to see your interfaces | 03:09 |

| mnaines | Xubuntnoob: No, just wait a second | 04:00 |
| gnubie | Xubuntnoob; do about:plugins in the url address space | 04:00 |
| mnaines | Xubuntnoob: Go to the add-ons in firefox and check to see if you have the VLC Multimedia Plugin | 04:00 |
| a94060 | Dreamglider: that was my shot at it. Im not sure what else to try | 04:01 |
| Dreamglider | a94060: ok, how about changing ownership of all files in recup_dir.* then i can just drag them to a new folder | 04:02 |
| mnaines | Xubuntnoob: You should have the default plugin, DivX Web Player, QuickTime Plug-in, a flash plugin, VLC Media Player, and Windows Media Player 10 plugin | 04:02 |
| a94060 | Dreamglider: if all the recup files are in the same directory | 04:03 |
| a94060 | u could just chmod the whole directory | 04:03 |
| Dreamglider | a94060: they are | 04:03 |
| Xubuntnoob | mnaines: default, demo print plugin, quicktime 7.2 shockwave 9.0r999 vlc multimedia plugin (compatile totem 2.26.1) and win media 10 | 04:03 |
| Dreamglider | a94060: will that change ownership of all files also ? | 04:03 |
| mnaines | Xubuntnoob: There's your problem | 04:04 |
| a94060 | well | 04:04 |
| a94060 | if all of them | 04:04 |
| a94060 | are in a directory where u dont mind changing all the owner ship | 04:04 |
| mnaines | Xubuntnoob: You need the latest flash player, version 10.0 r32 | 04:04 |

| losher | mase_work: doesn't matter if it works... | 04:22 |
| bazhang | cmp, any of them? you read through them both? | 04:23 |
| mnaines | a94060: Would you mind helping him, then? I'm a bit confuzzled about his problem | 04:23 |
| a94060 | yea sure. The guide i followed is same for 1005 and 1008 | 04:23 |
| mase_work | losher: if it works its fine but that fact that is a hack means that people shouldn't get their hopes up | 04:23 |
| a94060 | veinor: what do u need? | 04:23 |
| veinor | a94060: I installed linux-backports-jaunty, which lets me browse wireless | 04:23 |
| Ben64 | i wish people would stop using hack as derogatory | 04:24 |
| stoupe | thank you SO much | 04:24 |
| veinor | but it usually gets really bad signal | 04:24 |
| Ben64 | the whole internet was founded on hacks | 04:24 |
| mase_work | Ben64: why ? | 04:24 |
| a94060 | veinor: i had this problem before, what version ubuntu? eebuntu is what im running here. | 04:24 |
| cmp | bazhang, i did the first one and the second one i cant understand from it any thing - i would prefer if you really want to help me , then tell me step by step - this will be much more better for me | 04:25 |
| veinor | a94060: 9.04 | 04:25 |
| losher | mase_work: well, it would be lovely if all the vendors supported linux. but for those that don't, I thought ndiswrapper was a brilliant solution. It has worked for me in the past when nothing else did... | 04:25 |
| a94060 | veinor: vanilla version? | 04:25 |
| veinor | Yep | 04:25 |
| slap | I'm trying to mount a NFS sharing. The following command (mount -t nfs gandalf.tolkien.lan:/sharing /sharing) says that mount.nfs can't resolve the address. I don't understand why, 'cause I configured /etc/exports by adding a line (/sharing *.tolkien.lan(blablabla)). My DNS server is up and configured correctly. Any suggestions ? | 04:25 |
| mase_work | Ben64: a 'hack' is different to a 'hacker' and the internet was architected pretty well it was not hacked. Some of the software was implemented that way, however it is not so much the case any mroe | 04:25 |
| a94060 | what id reccomend is get a eee focused one. | 04:25 |
| veinor | yeah, I've tried that, but none of them worked out of the bo with the 1008ha | 04:25 |
| a94060 | eeebuntu has been working wonderfully for me,all th shorcut keys work and all the fn keys work too | 04:26 |

| losher | slap: gandalf.tolkien.lan needs to be resolved by DNS. Can you ping gandalf.tolkien.lan ? | 04:26 |
| mase_work | losher: it is a solution, but i wouldn't go so far as to say briliiant. The vendors really need to support Linux, and imo its better to have something non supported than supported as a work around | 04:26 |
| IdleOne | stoupe: if you want to use that repository edit the two lines to end with intrepid but it is not recommended. | 04:26 |
| a94060 | veinor: yes i did at the beginning, however i just decided one day to reinstall the whole system and it seems to work by not using the newest kernel | 04:26 |
| mnaines | a94060: I looked at his iwconfig wlan0 and its showing a bit rate of 2MB/sec and a signal quality of 2/70 | 04:26 |
| IdleOne | err he left | 04:26 |
| mase_work | that way people don't buy that hardware | 04:26 |
| veinor | define 'newest'? | 04:27 |
| lordnikon | is there a way to get a linksys wifi password off the computer the router was installed on if ther router is not currently connected | 04:27 |
| mase_work | and when the software doesn't work, people don't say.. bah this is junk. They know that the vendor is at fault | 04:27 |
| a94060 | alrighty mnaines i had the same problem,except id get 1mb/s | 04:27 |

| losher | mase_work: well, that's the problem isn't it? The vendors apparently don't *need* to support linux, and the proof is that some don't, yet they're still in business.... | 04:28 |

| bazhang | veinor, for all eeepc related stuff I usually visit the eeeuser.com forums ; they have a ton of stuff on getting ubuntu working flawlessly on all manner of eeepcs | 04:31 |
| mnaines | bazhang: Its not the topic that I'm talking about, though. I believe that in a room as large as this one is, there is usually more than one person with the same problem, so I feel it saves time and energy to have all of them read up on a solution that is being given to one person, a "teaching the classroom" sort of thing instead of trying to give 1-on-1 instructions | 04:31 |

| losher | wrapster: you just sound like you're just digging yourself in deeper and deeper. Isn't all this stuff sun propietary? | 05:07 |
| joschu | But nothing happens either way | 05:07 |
| wrapster | no | 05:08 |
| Celroc | bazhang: Oh. Don't know about that issue. That would mean he is using on-board graphics, right? | 05:08 |
| kevdog | wrapster: recompile or compile? | 05:08 |
| wrapster | Sun studio is free | 05:08 |
| wrapster | compile! | 05:08 |
| wrapster | sorry | 05:08 |
| mikey | please help me get my wifi working | 05:08 |
| bazhang | Celroc, yep | 05:08 |
| mikey | i just installed 9.04 | 05:08 |
| wrapster | kevdog: do you have online resource that are .deb specific ... | 05:08 |
| wrapster | I'd like to know and start with it right away | 05:08 |
| bazhang | Celroc, its found at /msg ubottu intel | 05:08 |
| Celroc | Ah. I had a similar problem, but it was with a video card | 05:08 |
| losher | kevdog: that's what people say. I've only used it for personal packages. | 05:08 |
| kevdog | wrapster: I'm walking away from this one -- I don't know what you want to do!! | 05:09 |
| Celroc | bazhang: Thanks | 05:09 |
| joschu | any help on crontab issue? | 05:10 |
| akio_ | Can some one direct me to the wine chat? | 05:10 |
| gwildor | wrapster, try google: <whatever you want to install> ubuntu 9.04 | 05:10 |
| bazhang | akio_, #winehq | 05:10 |
| wrapster | kevdog: here it is.. I want to compile opensolaris on nexenta (which follows the .deb pkging method) in order to do that i need some compilers and tools which are in .pkg format.. to install em on nexenta i need to convert them to .deb.. | 05:10 |
| wrapster | that exactly what i want to do. | 05:10 |
| kevdog | losher: Talk to real developers -- like gpg, pidgin, etc -- They all laugh at checkinstall -- its for local use only. I tried it on a bunch of packages, but when I went to upgrade -- after I recompiled the source after an upgrade -- things starting going south. I was just way better off with the sudo make install thing. I know this installs outside the apt system -- but nothing was broken | 05:10 |
| wrapster | Do you have a clear picture now? | 05:10 |
| bazhang | wrapster, is Ubuntu in that picture somewhere? | 05:11 |
| kevdog | wrapster: I have no idea how to make a real .deb -- but I'd like to learn about how to package one!! | 05:11 |
| MsMaco | kevdog: though often if you take the debian/ directory from an old version and drop it in and dpkg-builddeb it'll "just work" (assuming no changes in required libs) | 05:11 |
| mikey | can some one devote their time to help me get my wifi working on my hpdv6000 i have just installed the new version 9.04 | 05:11 |
| wrapster | bazhang: technically yes.. as its ubuntu userland+ opensolaris kernel | 05:11 |
| wrapster | and it follows .deb pkging format | 05:11 |
| bazhang | wrapster, /join #nexenta | 05:12 |

| MsMaco | kevdog: yes, if you wanted to package version 1.5 of something that was just released because only 1.4 is in ubuntu, there's a video on youtube of how to do it | 05:14 |
| MsMaco | kevdog: i believe there's also a video of how to package in general | 05:14 |
| bazhang | cmp, you should repeat your issue every 20 minutes or so, adding that you have the intel driver issue on Jaunty, cant get compiz visual effects enabled; if someone knows they will help you | 05:14 |

| kindofabuzz | godfreym, you can use alien to instal rpm's | 05:24 |
| histo | cmp: so when you click in System > preferences > Appearence on the visual effects tab and sellect Extra Effects it gives you an error? | 05:24 |
| kevdog | mralexandro: Then usually ./configure, make, and then sudo make install (usually -- might need to run autogen.sh sometimes) | 05:24 |

| brummbaer | hey all, trying to get guarddog firewall and ipblock rules to apply at startup. does anyone know how to do this or a good tutorial, as i can't find one. | 05:24 |
| histo | cmp: what is the exact error | 05:25 |
| kevdog | brummbaer: How complex are your rules -- with gufw do, or do you have really complex rule sets? | 05:25 |
| godfreym | kindofabuzz,I had installed them and deleted the files,now RPM -e wont work :-( | 05:25 |
| mralexandro | kevdog, yes it tells you to on the install page . so just sudo autogen.sh? | 05:25 |
| cmp | histo, desktop effect couldnt be enabled | 05:25 |
| losher | joschu: well, first step, change the first asterisk to a 5. That should run your command once every 5 minutes. Then wait 5 minutes and see what it says... | 05:25 |
| mralexandro | kevdog or configer first? | 05:25 |
| fleixius | Are there any windows app out there that allows me to draw X windows over NX | 05:25 |
| kindofabuzz | godfreym, i really don't know much about alien other than that it's used to install rpm's, sorry | 05:26 |
| brummbaer | kevdog, i could probably make do w/ ufw, but i've not used it, and i dislike the gufw shield in menu... :( | 05:26 |
| kevdog | mralexandro: ./autogen.sh , sometimes configure is run from this, other times you then do the ./configure. In all cases, make, sudo make install | 05:26 |
| newser | is there any app that can record video if movement is detected? | 05:26 |
| newser | using a webcam | 05:26 |
| brummbaer | kevdog, the basic firewall is deny-all, then i've just punched holes for 80 incoming and http/https/ftp/pops/smtps/dns/whois out... | 05:26 |
| losher | godfreym: ubuntu rpm is hopefully layered over dpkg. If so, there will be a log of what you installed in /var/lib/dpkg/status. Have a look in there towards the end of the file... | 05:27 |
| kevdog | brummbaer: Could you not just write your rules by hand and then just simply push them to iptables at startup -- thats what ufw does anyway | 05:27 |
| mralexandro | kevdog when i do it says command unknown | 05:27 |

| pluxii | i dual boot ubuntu and vista ultimate, when i mount my primary on ubuntu to access windows files that i need, those files are then denoted as shared on windows, I am curious if these becoming shared files opens me up for any kind of security vulnerability or if they are only shared between ubuntu and vista. | 05:36 |
| mralexandro | kevdog, i also have to inform you that on the page they specify two different procedures wheter you have (1)GCC/Mingw 2 MSVC | 05:36 |
| histo | cmp: then it should be working just as before. | 05:36 |
| mralexandro | kevdog: but i did the edit you said | 05:36 |
| cmp | yes | 05:36 |
| cmp | but its not working now i dont know why ? | 05:36 |
| bastidrazor | vince, yes, if you want the drivers from them.. although most nvidia cards work well from the ubuntu provided ones. | 05:36 |
| histo | cmp: hit alt+f2 and type in compiz --replace then hit enter | 05:36 |
| vince | bastidrazor: No compix no 3D Accell. Open source drivers stink. | 05:37 |
| vince | Well not open source drivers per say | 05:37 |
| cmp | did | 05:37 |
| mralexandro | kevdog, should i run the autogen now? | 05:37 |
| vince | Bah its 1 AM you know what I mean :-P | 05:37 |
| kevdog | mralexandro: Is this a windows build? | 05:37 |
| bastidrazor | vince, okay, then yes you'll need to get the drivers from nVidia then stop X.. and install them. | 05:37 |
| kevdog | mralexandro: yes | 05:37 |
| mikey2 | is a9 here ?? | 05:38 |

| histo | vince: hit ctrl+alt+f1 and you will be a text terminal then you can sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 05:39 |
| cmp | i have got the same error now again | 05:39 |
| kermit | mralexandro: you have a CR where there should be an LF, what editor was that made in? | 05:39 |
| hornets | anom01y: tks | 05:39 |
| bastidrazor | vince, yes get to tty1 by ctrl alt F1.. then log in and type sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop .. then install your drivers and switch stop for start.. | 05:39 |
| histo | vince: you can use sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start to get it running again | 05:39 |

| CoJaBo-Aztec | Is there something I have to do to get the clock to stay in sync automatically? | 05:39 |
| kermit | CoJaBo-Aztec: install ntpd | 05:40 |
| histo | cmp: I have no idea what the problem is and how it would be recreated after a fresh install when it worked before. | 05:40 |
| mralexandro | kevdog, i used sudo gedit autogen.sh | 05:40 |
| kevdog | mralexandro: Where did you get that package? Is this for linux -- usually mingw is for cross compiling | 05:40 |
| bastidrazor | vince, as histo said. he is a bit faster than me in typing.. head colds are eVil | 05:40 |
| bastidrazor | !dontzap | kermit | 05:40 |
| ubottu | kermit: To re-enable the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace combination that restarts your X server, you can install the "dontzap" package and use the command « sudo dontzap --disable ». The combination Alt+SysRq+K can also be used to obtain a similar effect. | 05:40 |

| thedancingdeer | i've got firefox 3.5(shiretoko) installed on my jaunty machine before it was released! so i could use firefox 3 and firefox 3.5 simultaneously! so if i now install firefox 3.5 from its website, will it replace my current 3.5??? | 05:40 |
| jacksy | Can any body plz guide me how to install Adobe flash CS# on my ubuntu 8.10 | 05:40 |
| vince | Bastidrazor : Ok, I'll need to restart first, Im still in .28 | 05:40 |
| kevdog | mralexandro: Let me download the package and I'll compile it | 05:40 |
| jacksy | Flash CS3 | 05:40 |
| mralexandro | kevdog, http://stratagus.sourceforge.net/download.shtml here, but i would really like to also compile it:) | 05:41 |
| DigitalKiwi | ubuntu has a package to reenable what you got removed | 05:41 |
| mikey2 | i am trying to get the wireless working on my box pleaase help | 05:41 |
| DigitalKiwi | *snark* | 05:41 |
| cmp | histo , then i want to know now - what is really special about linux system- as i see its very complicated to work with - very complicated to insatll programs . what is so special about it ? | 05:41 |
| DigitalKiwi | that's utterly hilarious | 05:41 |
| histo | cmp: its not complicated once you learn it. As i've stated your hardware has issues with the current version of ubuntu. They are fixing it with the next release. and I believe it worked under 8.10 as well. | 05:42 |
| kindofabuzz | cmp, no difficutl, just different. what's special about it? freedom to do whatever you want with it. | 05:42 |
| jacksy | Hello everybody | 05:42 |
| Celroc | jacksy: Hi | 05:42 |
| kermit | cmp: i personally find it vastely easier, i tried win for years and i never knew what was going on. its a matter of personal taste. | 05:42 |
| cmp | as i can see - i cant do what ever i want with it | 05:42 |
| histo | cmp: heres a nother fix with a little more details http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1136738&highlight=gm965 | 05:42 |
| jacksy | can anybody plz guide me how to install Adobe Flash cs3 on ubuntu 8.1 | 05:43 |
| hornets | i dunno if this is the right place | 05:43 |
| hornets | but i'm planning on running a dedicated server | 05:43 |
| pluxii | Question, I keep setting up dual monitors, using my nvidia driver settings, and each time i reboot i have to do it all over. does anyone know how to make this fix so that i have dual when i boot up | 05:43 |
| kermit | cmp: and in win noone knew how to do things if i asked around, in linux someone always knows where to direct me if i have questions. | 05:43 |
| histo | cmp: those commands under the code: sections are to be entered in a terminal Applications > Accessories > terminal | 05:43 |
| hornets | what is the BEST ubuntu-server kernel? for security pourposes? | 05:43 |
| hornets | 8.04? | 05:43 |
| hornets | or the new one is just fine too? | 05:44 |
| mikey2 | wifi is not working in a fresh install of 9.04, assistance is needed | 05:44 |
| histo | hornets: they both have security fixes. | 05:44 |
| histo | !best | hornets | 05:44 |
| ubottu | hornets: 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. | 05:44 |
| SpookyET | A linux user would go apeshit if he installed a new version of his favourite distribution and found the commands either gone or renamed. WTF Apple? What did you do to Terminal in Snow Leopard? Crippleware. PlistBuddy gone, ar gone. sha1sum renamed to shasum, md5sum renamed to md5. I could go on. Why keep around Terminal.app. It was also not update dot support 256 colours. Geez. | 05:44 |
| cmp | and why when i ask - i cant find so many people who can help me | 05:44 |
| jacksy | is there any solution to install adobe flash cs3 on ubuntu | 05:44 |
| cmp | only when i go to chat rooms about this system | 05:44 |
| cmp | and sooooooooo hardly untill i find the person who can communicate with me | 05:45 |
| histo | cmp: did you read the last link I gave you? It has step by step instructions on how to fix your intel card | 05:45 |
| kevdog | mralexandro: give me a sec -- just downloading the package | 05:45 |
| losher | hornets: security issues get patched in all supported releases, so they're all about equal in that respect. 8.04LTS is probably the most *stable* release, if that helps... | 05:45 |
| hornets | ahm, this is not exactly what I was looking for | 05:45 |
| hornets | ahh | 05:45 |
| cmp | iam doing now | 05:45 |
| mralexandro | kevdog, no problem, i am excited to learn:) | 05:45 |
| hornets | that was I looking for losher | 05:45 |
| pluxii | so no one knows then, i'll hop on later when a different crew is on | 05:45 |
| cmp | is this room supported by ubuntu company | 05:46 |
| cmp | ? | 05:46 |
| mikey2 | kevdog, can you help get this darn wifi working | 05:46 |
| bastidrazor | pluxii, did you run nvidia-settings with sudo and save to xorg.conf? | 05:46 |
| histo | cmp: this room is volunteers. Ubuntu has paid support availible. | 05:46 |
| histo | !topic | cmp | 05:46 |
| ubottu | cmp: Please read the channel topic whenever you enter, as it contains important information. To view it at any time after joining, simply type /topic | 05:46 |
| hornets | losher: so.. let's say that you would run a dedicated server? | 05:46 |
| mralexandro | cmp, i have a guide about graphics drivers. it is not supergood, but i made it so that it should be understandable | 05:47 |
| bastidrazor | pluxii, gksudo ..rather | 05:47 |
| hornets | LTS is the best thoice? | 05:47 |
| mralexandro | cmp, you want it? | 05:47 |
| histo | hornets: for a production server yes | 05:47 |
| cmp | yes i want it | 05:47 |
| kermit | cmp: if ubuntu is just giving you a blank screen at startup, your hardware is probably intended to only work with windows, you could get it to work, or you could use better hardware. | 05:47 |
| mcpancakes | hey all, I've got a hard drive (/dev/sda) that can't seem to be read by anything. all I want to do is delete every byte on the entire device. dd said I/O error (tried writing /dev/zero to the entire device), as did fdisk and gparted when I tried using those. my only remaining thought is that physically, the hardware is damaged? | 05:47 |
| pluxii | bastidrazor: it's a question of shared files security, so i don't understand what you're asking | 05:47 |
| Bhavic | Does anyone know if Software RAID 0 actually increases writing/reading speed at all. | 05:47 |
| kevdog | mralexandro: well for one I just type ./configure | 05:47 |
| mralexandro | cmp, http://alexanderklein.blogg.no/1246743768_04jul2009.html | 05:47 |
| bastidrazor | pluxii, didn't you ask about setting up dual monitors? | 05:48 |
| hornets | histo: The server will run rtorrent/nfs/proftpd/apache/mysql | 05:48 |
| mralexandro | kevdog, and then? :) | 05:48 |
| losher | hornets: I *do* run a dedicated server. On 8.04 LTS... | 05:48 |
| hornets | it's not exaclty for "production" | 05:48 |
| kevdog | mikey2: Hit me up tomorrow --- I'm definitely about to go to bed -- if you make a post in the forums I will take a look at it -- a lot of good people there also | 05:48 |
| hornets | is just a seedbox lol | 05:48 |
| histo | mralexandro: he has an intel card | 05:48 |
| mikey2 | ok thnx | 05:48 |
| mralexandro | histo, oh sorry | 05:48 |
| hornets | losher: hum.. thanks dude. | 05:49 |

| mralexandro | histo i did not mean to | 05:49 |
| mralexandro | histo, i should have read | 05:49 |
| kevdog | mralexandro: well configure didnt go all the way b/c I dont have the dependency lua installed | 05:49 |
| histo | mralexandro: np | 05:49 |
| pluxii | oh ffs i copy pasted the wrong question, i sincerely apologize, the question is when i access files off of my primary (i dual boot ubuntu and vista) upon accessing them windows then marks them as shared files, and i just wanted to make sure those being marked as shared under windows would not create a security problem when i am on vista | 05:49 |
| histo | cmp: those instructions from mralexandro are for nvidia cards not intel | 05:49 |
| bastidrazor | pluxii, heh.. sorry, i don't know about shared files. good luck | 05:50 |
| cmp | ok | 05:50 |

| mralexandro | oh ok | 05:51 |

| DigitalKiwi | or something more complicated | 05:57 |
| hornets | so everybody use MS Office for writing the document | 05:57 |
| kindofabuzz | !karmic > kindofabuzz | 05:57 |
| ubottu | kindofabuzz, please see my private message | 05:57 |

| hornets | open* | 05:57 |
| BioVore | hornets: office 2007 basically not compatible with anything... not even 2003.. :-( | 05:58 |
| torn | hornets, but in my case, I have no problems switching between using OpenOffice and MS Office, especially for word documents. In that case, I just save my file as MS Word 97/2000/XP format. | 05:58 |
| kevdog | mralexandro: You also might need to install the other dependencies as explained on the website -- I already had these install since I compile a lot, so I didn't need to install them | 05:58 |
| hornets | torn: I know that | 05:58 |
| Bhavic | bucky: Yours was 85mb/s with RAID 0/1 or no RAID ? | 05:59 |
| mralexandro | kevdog, ok they are on the install guide right? | 05:59 |
| bucky | yep | 05:59 |
| Bhavic | Which one bucky | 05:59 |
| bucky | Bhavic, raid 0 | 05:59 |
| Bhavic | Ahk | 05:59 |
| Bhavic | Soft? | 05:59 |
| Bhavic | or hard | 05:59 |
| hornets | but everybody save in the new format docx | 05:59 |
| bucky | Bhavic, soft ..fake raid | 05:59 |
| Bhavic | Hm ok. | 05:59 |
| Bhavic | Mines: Timing buffered disk reads: 496 MB in 3.00 seconds = 165.22 MB/se | 05:59 |
| hornets | i know that O.F can support docx | 05:59 |
| bucky | Bhavic, i'm running two raptors so that helps | 05:59 |
| hornets | but some things.. just doesn't work :/ | 05:59 |
| kermit | is there a way to make standby not care about stuck processes? sometimes my nfs server is unreachable and processes waiting for it block standby. | 05:59 |
| torn | hornets, OpenOffice supports .docx as well. | 05:59 |
| torn | At least, the latest version does. | 06:00 |
| Bhavic | Lol ahk | 06:00 |
| hornets | yes it does | 06:00 |
| torn | I always end up typing by the time it's too late. | 06:00 |
| torn | Oh, hornets, I have a good idea, if you're willing... | 06:00 |
| bucky | Bhavic, that's pretty good... my old cpu holds me back | 06:00 |

| Bhavic | Thanks :)) | 06:00 |

| Newbuntu2 | I have a couple of old hard drives that may have issues... is there a way to test if they are ok? | 06:01 |
| torn | Alright, and I have another idea as well, hornets. | 06:01 |
| jonex | how i change room/ | 06:01 |
| torn | Newbuntu2, I would use smartmontools. | 06:01 |
| kevdog | mralexandro: You also need liblualib50-dev | 06:01 |
| torn | jonex, type /j #channelname | 06:01 |
| mralexandro | hmmm. could you pastebin me all of them? :) | 06:01 |
| mralexandro | kevdog, pls:) | 06:01 |

| kevdog | mralexandro: I gave you what I could find, but Im not looking up all of them individually -- that is your job -- hence that is the art of compiling! | 06:02 |

| anom01y | is v4l2 strickly for webcams or can I use it for my tv/tuner (hauppauge pvr-150) ? | 06:03 |
| kevdog | mralexandro: I gave you over 1/2 of them -- its just I already had the other libs installed -- so I got lazy and didn't look them up -- I had to in the past when I installed them!! | 06:03 |
| anom01y | because I don't know how to get ivtv to work | 06:03 |
| hornets | torn: yep | 06:03 |
| hornets | an .iso | 06:03 |
| DigitalKiwi | oh snap, pirate! | 06:03 |
| torn | hornets, I have great experience with VirtualBox, and couldn't be happier with it. http://www.virtualbox.org | 06:03 |
| hornets | :D | 06:03 |
| AvonGenesis | Does anyone know how to uninstall the google chrome linux build? | 06:03 |
| mralexandro | kevdog, but it is all of the required ones i need, not the recommended ones right. so the sdl, libpng, zlib and lua 5.02 ? | 06:03 |
| hornets | torn: dude | 06:04 |
| hornets | I have vbox on windows lol | 06:04 |
| kevdog | mralexandro: I'd also recommend the build-essential package if you don't already have them installed | 06:04 |
| hornets | for running linux | 06:04 |
| torn | hornets, LOL | 06:04 |
| hornets | yeah, rly. | 06:04 |
| DigitalKiwi | fail | 06:04 |
| hornets | I got balls and installed on a partition | 06:04 |
| hornets | :P | 06:04 |
| torn | hornets, I would going to say to install Windows on a virtual machine, and just run Office 2007 on there. It's better than messing around with Wine. | 06:04 |
| torn | *I was going to say | 06:04 |
| hornets | yep | 06:05 |
| hornets | it will be a little pain in the ass to install | 06:05 |
| hornets | but it will work fine. | 06:05 |
| mralexandro | kevdog, sudo apt-get install build-essential checkinstall ? | 06:05 |
| mralexandro | i have that one... | 06:05 |
| torn | hornets, I'm surprised at how well VirtualBox works. It's almost as good as VMware, yet it's completely free for personal use, and OSS at that... | 06:05 |
| hornets | i know that | 06:05 |
| hornets | is pretty lame to use. | 06:06 |
| hornets | very easy | 06:06 |
| a94060_ | torn i said the exact same thing | 06:06 |
| histo | hornets: you can't use openoffice? | 06:06 |
| hornets | histo: nop :/ | 06:06 |
| kevdog | mralexandro: Well when running the configure script -- it seems the recommended aren't so optional as they state b/c without those libs the configure script would die -- but I gave you most of those along with the lua libraries. You need SDL, libpng, zlib libogg/libvorbis. The libraries when you look them up will start with something like lib.....-dev. You want all the developmental... | 06:06 |
| kevdog | ...packages when you compile -- look at the packages I already gave you -- they all have the -dev extension | 06:06 |
| chalcedny | i have ubuntu jaunty/9.04 I downloaded Opera 9.64 tonight, and the flash player, and unzipped that. Why does it say I don't have flash? How can i fix that? | 06:06 |
| binarymutant | can you redirect in the ubuntu wiki? | 06:07 |
| mralexandro | kevdog even below 5x? | 06:07 |
| kevdog | mralexandro -- don't use checkinstall -- just a plain sudo make install will do! | 06:07 |
| kevdog | mralexandro: ?? | 06:07 |
| Michael_ | I need help | 06:08 |
| Madpilot | chalcedny, just unzipping the flash installer won't install it | 06:08 |
| Madpilot | ubottu, flash | 06:08 |
| ubottu | To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 06:08 |
| histo | hornets: looks like it may work with wine. | 06:08 |
| chalcedny | ah thanks :) | 06:08 |
| Madpilot | chalcedny, ^ see the bot | 06:08 |
| hornets | histo: yep.. but like torn said | 06:08 |
| hornets | it could be a little tricky. | 06:08 |
| Michael_ | I have a copy of the beta client Windows 7 on VirtualBox OSE and I can't transfer my sound device to it | 06:08 |
| mralexandro | kevdog, sorry:) you said i need all dev pacakges, i have some in synaptics below 5.xx do i need them as well like liblua 40dev | 06:08 |
| hornets | using vbox would be much easier. | 06:08 |
| Newbuntu2 | i have a 8.10 liveUSB. Is there an easy way to use it to install 9.04? | 06:09 |
| histo | hornets: yes, is there a reason you need 2007 though vs. oo | 06:09 |
| Newbuntu2 | or do I need to recreate my liveusb> | 06:09 |
| torn | I don't understand how Linux Mint is able to distribute its OS, preinstalled with proprietary sofware and codecs, yet Ubuntu and other distros, such as openSUSE, are too afraid to do so? What does Linux Mint have that all the others do not have? | 06:09 |
| histo | Newbuntu2: you want to install 9.04 on live usb? | 06:09 |
| Madpilot | torn, too small to sue? | 06:09 |
| torn | LOL | 06:09 |
| histo | Newbuntu2: or install 9.04 to hd? | 06:09 |
| Newbuntu2 | histo: to a blank HD | 06:09 |
| hornets | lol | 06:10 |
| kevdog | mralexandro -- I usually in the case of higher or lower versions -- just pick the most recent -- so in your case liblua50dev will do without the 40dev. I can confirm this as my machine is happily compiling the source code right now as we speak | 06:10 |
| histo | !install | Newbuntu2 | 06:10 |
| ubottu | Newbuntu2: 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 | 06:10 |
| torn | Madpilot, so does that mean Mint is forcing itself to stay unpopular? | 06:10 |
| Madpilot | torn, I'm not really kidding, either. Canonical/Redhat/etc are all actual companies, Mint AFAIK is a couple of folks in their spare time | 06:10 |
| torn | Madpilot, that's true. It makes you think, though... | 06:10 |
| _TJ | wow feels weird being back in this channel | 06:11 |
| chalcedny | Madpilot, i downloaded and installed the installer and closed my browsers .. anything else? | 06:11 |
| mralexandro | kevdog, lucky you! :) | 06:11 |
| torn | _TJ, are you that artist? | 06:11 |
| Madpilot | chalcedny, that should work. I used to be an Opera user, but I haven't used it for over a year. | 06:11 |
| Madpilot | torn, non-tech support chat should be in #ubuntu-offtopic, however | 06:11 |
| _TJ | torn join that | 06:12 |
| kevdog | mralexandro: Well if you have never compiled anything before this is the best place to learn. You can use synaptic to search for packages or the trusty sudo apt-cache search <sounds like package name> command line tool. :p | 06:12 |
| torn | Madpilot, I know. That's why I stopped myself. | 06:12 |
| chalcedny | Madpilot, my 64 bit firefox wouldn't work with flash (or so i thought) | 06:12 |
| hornets | ok, just one more question, anyone here use NFS? | 06:12 |
| hornets | :p | 06:12 |
| kermit | hornets: yes | 06:12 |
| Madpilot | chalcedny, no idea, I'm still stuck in the 32bit Jurassic myself... | 06:13 |
| hornets | kermit: is it possible to make a script, or a cron.. to automatically mount the remote partition? | 06:13 |
| hornets | for example, my server get's rebooted | 06:13 |
| hornets | or maybe a black out | 06:13 |
| chalcedny | the flash test still says i need to get the newest version of adobe flash player | 06:13 |
| kermit | hornets: if its already mounted it'll stay mounted. if you want it mounted at boot, put it in /etc/fstab (man fstab) | 06:13 |
| chalcedny | Madpilot, i did tht | 06:13 |
| chalcedny | that | 06:13 |
| innomen | ok i need help installing blueman, i have added the launch pad ppa source and it's key but blueman is still not showing up in synaptic | 06:14 |
| kermit | hornets: at least thats the old school way, there might be a fancy new ubuntu GUI way | 06:14 |
| hornets | kermit I use the fstab | 06:14 |
| hornets | but there's a problem | 06:14 |
| innomen | https://edge.launchpad.net/~blueman/+archive/ppa | 06:14 |
| innomen | what am i doing wrong? | 06:14 |
| Madpilot | chalcedny, try installing flash thru the repositories instead of via the website download? | 06:14 |
| hornets | If I turn on first my computer, and then my home server. | 06:14 |
| mralexandro | kevdog, good to know, but the sdl i just added some plugins there(guessed) but they have a webpage with a rpm install file. could i install that rpm file without trouble | 06:14 |
| Celroc | I'm sorry for the somewhat off-topic post, but will Crossover/WINE work on a AMD processor machine (in this case, a quad core)? I asked in the Crossover channel, but didn't get a reply | 06:14 |
| hornets | the NFS don't mount the partition. | 06:15 |
| chalcedny | hmmm | 06:15 |
| kermit | hornets: true, but once its mounted it wont unmount if you turn off the other computer | 06:15 |
| syntax | if you lock your self out of the login screen is there a way to pass it | 06:15 |
| chalcedny | why would where you got it, make a difference? Madpilot | 06:15 |
| histo | Celroc: yes | 06:15 |
| kermit | hornets: but you could just put it in a crontab | 06:15 |
| Celroc | histo: Thanks | 06:15 |
| kevdog | mralexandro: no idea what you are talking about | 06:15 |
| mralexandro | kevdog, http://www.libsdl.org/download-1.2.php | 06:16 |
| histo | Celroc: I can vouge fro wine working | 06:16 |
| Madpilot | chalcedny, it could, either way. But like I said, I don't run 64bit, and I haven't used the latest version of Opera | 06:16 |
| hornets | let me get the error message. | 06:16 |
| chalcedny | tried this time on firefox | 06:16 |
| Celroc | histo: Cool. If WINE works, the Crossover probably will work. Thanks :-) | 06:16 |
| chalcedny | i'll see if opera has better luck | 06:16 |
| innomen | this is very strange | 06:16 |
| JoeSomebody | help, i got a bitdefender free key because i have many drives, i cannot find the proper place to download a linux version to use that key, should be easy, NOT, ready to try avira or soemthing | 06:16 |
| histo | Celroc: I believe crossover has support since its a paid app | 06:16 |
| JoeSomebody | recommendations? | 06:17 |
| kevdog | mralexandro: hold on for a minute | 06:17 |
| bucky | mralexandro, what do you need ? libsdl1.2-dev ? | 06:17 |
| andresmh | how can I start an application and make it so that it's window shows up on a specific workspace? | 06:17 |
| Celroc | histo: Thanks. I didn't know if the "x86 processor" requirement included AMD quad cores | 06:17 |
| chalcedny | Madpilot, appears it works on opera .. what's shockwave player? | 06:18 |
| Madpilot | chalcedny, like flash, but not quite. I'm not sure, TBH | 06:18 |
| mralexandro | bucky, well to be completely honest i am not sure, but i do believe i need it yes. i am learning to compile:) | 06:18 |
| histo | Celroc: yes it pretty much works on everything i've thrown at it cpu wise | 06:18 |
| Newbuntu2 | how do I install a different version of ubuntu than the one which is on my live USB? | 06:18 |
| Celroc | histo: Awesome. Thanks! | 06:18 |
| chalcedny | guess i'll google then Madpilot :) | 06:18 |
| kevdog | What's wrong with the libsdl1.2-dev package? | 06:19 |
| histo | Newbuntu2: you can use the netinstaller and download the linux and initrd.img | 06:19 |
| hornets | kermit: heh, do you know where is stored NFS logs? | 06:19 |
| kevdog | mralexandro: What's wrong with the libsdl1.2-dev package? | 06:19 |
| mralexandro | kevdog, i have it? | 06:19 |

| chalcedny | greetings Indus :) | 06:21 |
| indus | greetings | 06:21 |
| indus | could u tell me how to register nick | 06:22 |
| kevdog | mralexandro: Im out for today -- if you need more help just post in the forums -- also two commands you really need to get used to using are the sudo aptitude search <sounds like package name> and sudo apt-cache search <sounds like package name>. The first command I usually run like this: sudo aptitude search <sounds like package name> | grep ^i -- This shows you currently installed packages | 06:22 |
| Prodego | indus: see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration | 06:22 |
| indus | thank you | 06:22 |
| newser | anyone knows when is the next ubuntu distribution being released? | 06:23 |
| andresmh_ | how does #ubuntu at freenode is different from this channel? (not trolling, seriously curious) | 06:23 |

| ubottu | newser: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 | 06:23 |
| andresmh_ | ah, it's the same | 06:23 |
| andresmh_ | doh | 06:23 |
| kevdog | mralexandro: sudo apt-cache search <sounds like package name> Gives you packages in the repositories that are related to what you are searching for. So for example I just search sudo apt-cache search libsdl --- and a lot of packages were shown. I skimmed the list to find libsdl1.2-dev | 06:23 |
| mralexandro | kevdog, serriously thanks man!:) | 06:24 |
| mralexandro | have a good night | 06:24 |
| mralexandro | kevdog, but after i got all | 06:25 |

| mralexandro | then .configure | 06:25 |
| mralexandro | then .make | 06:25 |
| mralexandro | and last .make install? | 06:25 |
| kevdog | mralexandro: One last bummer -- The make failed -- /src/video/movie.cpp 306: error: strstr was not decared in this scope --- Oops -- sounds like time to write the developers | 06:25 |

| alexyk | hey guys -- where do I get Java for UNR, with icons and all? | 06:48 |
| ikonia | vince: your comments about the desktop | 06:48 |
| alexyk | i.e. is there a .deb with Sun's Java? | 06:48 |
| ikonia | alexyk: it's in the package repo | 06:48 |
| ikonia | !java > alexyk | 06:48 |
| ubottu | alexyk, please see my private message | 06:48 |

| ubottu | To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository | 06:48 |
| dreamcage | ikonia, do you think he is not polite? | 06:48 |
| ubuntunewbie | bucky: yes ,I am using pixma ip2500 printer.I can't find thedriver anywhere | 06:49 |
| vince | ikonia: Seriously? I'm not trying to be a jerk here but the Ubuntu Dev team are the ones who built IPv6 into the kernel and didn't give us any option of to disable it easily. They either knew about the issue and didn't care, or didn't bother to check because there are literally thousands of results in Google documenting the issue. Either scenario is simply inexcusable and I have had to fight this battle on EVERY computer I have installe | 06:49 |
| vince | d Ubuntu on | 06:49 |
| ubuntunewbie | bucky: the only option is to go to ubuntu forum , and I can';t even understand what I should do to install the driver.The guiding at ubuntu forum is complicated | 06:49 |
| noiz777 | nnull haha ohh well i thought it could be easier, dont know much about routers, im actually having a hard time to see if i can access it through telnet hahaha | 06:49 |
| ikonia | vince: - then just contontrol your language in your comments if you're not trying to be a jerk, "seriously" | 06:49 |

| jgornick | Hey guys, quick question. I'm interested in starting my IRC bot (supybot) automatically when my machine starts. Any ideas on the best way to do this? | 06:50 |
| mralexandro | bucky, download the package build on that link you gave me. terminal to cd /stratagus folder. then execute PKGBUILD ? | 06:50 |
| ikonia | jgornick: an init script ? | 06:50 |
| jgornick | ikonia, Is there a dummies guide to creating an init script? | 06:50 |
| ikonia | !boot > jgornick | 06:51 |
| ubottu | jgornick, please see my private message | 06:51 |
| ikonia | !upstart > jgornick | 06:51 |
| bucky | ubuntunewbie, according to this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrintersCanon the 5200 works and i'd try that driver first | 06:51 |
| dreamcage | i agree with my back part that ubuntuu is not that good | 06:51 |
| ikonia | dreamcage: don't use it then, or log bugs to improve it | 06:51 |
| jgornick | Funny, ubottu is a supybot :) | 06:52 |
| vince | ikonia: Ok fine how about this statement then, To say Ubuntu is ready for the desktop is a gross misrepresentation when the DEV team apparently can't even build a networking stack right or listen to their users issues as evidenced by aformentioned google searches. There now that I took the one objectionable word out do you actualy have a comment to the issue at hand or do you just want to be room police? | 06:52 |
| sub[t]rnl | jgornick: check out /etc/init.d/skeleton. Don't forget to update.rc the new script | 06:52 |
| ikonia | vince: how about don't moan or use language in a support channel, and log bugs to aid it to get better | 06:52 |
| bazhang | vince, file a bug then | 06:52 |
| dreamcage | that's the best way to do it but ive got live instead doing it | 06:52 |
| ubuntunewbie | bucky: Really ????? I wnet to the website but I still can't find ip2500. Ok will try it now.Will Report back :D | 06:53 |

| anom01y | (or input) | 07:18 |
| InDuS | anom01y: goto channel config and select country from tv frequency | 07:18 |
| anom01y | InDuS, in tvtime ? | 07:19 |
| ubuntunewbie | bucky: downloaded and click the .deb but it said : "Error:Dependency is not satisfiable : cnijfilter-common" | 07:19 |
| InDuS | anom01y: yeah | 07:19 |
| InDuS | anom01y: right click >channel config> tv frequency or something> run your country scanner | 07:19 |
| InDuS | losher: what i have noticed is> linux generally gives those /dev/video errors until you run some application, i didnt have /video in /dev until i used tvtime etc | 07:20 |
| InDuS | neither video0 or video1 | 07:20 |
| InDuS | for me video0 is webcam so i need to point tvtime to video 1 | 07:21 |
| anom01y | there is no channel config in tvtime | 07:21 |
| anom01y | maybe a command line arg ? | 07:21 |
| InDuS | anom01y: no | 07:21 |
| InDuS | anom01y: right click u see channel configuration option? | 07:21 |
| losher | InDuS: can't say I noticed that, but I'm running mythtv on 8.04 LTS so it may not behave the same... | 07:21 |

| InDuS | anom01y: cos right now i see that it says cannot oepn /dev/video0 | 07:29 |
| anom01y | well the sudo tvtime gives me the same thing as non sudo | 07:30 |
| anom01y | can't open /dev/video0 | 07:30 |
| anom01y | but mplayer /dev/video0 gives me the snow and fuzz | 07:30 |

| InDuS | histo: ya i read that nonsense somewhere, but when i restarted pc my problem went away | 07:31 |
| InDuS | histo: its possible | 07:31 |
| histo | InDuS: not if sudo isn't working either | 07:31 |
| InDuS | histo: you might be right,but its too complicated to explain | 07:31 |
| InDuS | histo: hmm | 07:31 |
| InDuS | anom01y: ok type /dev and keep pressing tab | 07:31 |
| histo | anom01y: /dev/video0 is going to show static untill you set the tuner to the proper channel | 07:31 |
| InDuS | anom01y: do u see a /video0 there? | 07:32 |
| histo | anom01y: is the card hooked up to antenna or cable box? | 07:32 |
| anom01y | no video0 there | 07:32 |
| InDuS | anom01y: aah no, it should not give error | 07:32 |

| InDuS | anom01y: go to video input and select v4l2 and select your device | 07:33 |
| ActionParsnip | mralexandro: warnings are fine | 07:33 |
| boss_mc | mralexandro: sounds like it built fine | 07:34 |
| anom01y | ok thats done, there is three hauppauge win pvr 150's there | 07:34 |
| mralexandro | ActionParsnip, really? they look so brutal:) | 07:34 |
| ActionParsnip | mralexandro: if you run: sudo make install and the copy steps are ok then the compile steps succeeded | 07:34 |
| InDuS | anom01y: 3? hmm funny | 07:34 |
| anom01y | I just picked one of them | 07:34 |
| InDuS | anom01y: ok test input now | 07:34 |
| ActionParsnip | mralexandro: depends really but tey look harmless enough, you should tell the developer you got those outputs | 07:35 |
| boss_mc | mralexandro: the most common of them 'warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to ‘char*’' is a warning that only exists in newer versions of gcc | 07:35 |
| ActionParsnip | mralexandro: dont use pastebin to tell them as the paste will eventually expire | 07:35 |
| anom01y | InDuS, ok | 07:35 |
| mralexandro | ActionParsnip, cool, i am way over my head now, will email him the text then:) | 07:35 |
| anom01y | the three in there changed in the pipeline field video0 to video24, and then video32 | 07:35 |
| InDuS | anom01y: hmm video24 | 07:36 |
| InDuS | anom01y: thats interesting | 07:36 |
| ActionParsnip | mralexandro: you'll never learn unless you try something new and scary | 07:36 |
| anom01y | all of them give me an error when testing video input, error msg "could not negotiate format" | 07:36 |
| InDuS | anom01y: ok | 07:36 |
| anom01y | video 4 linux 2 (v4l2): could not negotiate format | 07:36 |
| InDuS | anom01y: ok which version of ubuntu is this | 07:37 |
| anom01y | how do I get rid of /dev/video24, and /dev/video32 ? | 07:37 |

| poyntz | I really don't want to install pidgin, how do I stop it coming up in the repo? | 07:39 |
| ActionParsnip | poyntz: it will always show up in searches | 07:39 |
| ntiy | sudo apt-get remove pidgin ?? | 07:40 |
| ActionParsnip | ntiy: this is ubuntu support, not fortran, try #fortran or #ubuntu-offtopic | 07:40 |
| kindofabuzz | when getting large files via ftp from my server, the speed declines the whole time. starts fast ends slow. any way to fix this? or is this normal? | 07:40 |
| poyntz | ntiy: I don't have pidgin installed. I'm saying that when I do a apt-get update, it suggests I installed it | 07:40 |
| ntiy | yea, I know that. just taking a chance. those guys a usually slow. | 07:40 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: so there's no way I could apt-get update -pidget | 07:40 |
| poyntz | ntiy: no worries. thanks anyhow :P | 07:41 |

| ActionParsnip | poyntz: what are you wanting to achieve? | 07:43 |
| InDuS | anom01y: once that /dev/video is created your problem is solved | 07:43 |

| losher | anom01y: you know what. Stop messing about in Jaunty and go back to 8.04 LTS. It just works... | 07:49 |
| InDuS | anom01y: no in terminal type /dev and keep p[ressing tab | 07:49 |
| cornet | poyntz: what else is it wanting to install/upgrade | 07:49 |
| InDuS | anom01y: u see the /dev/video0 now? | 07:50 |
| anom01y | InDuS, there is no video0 in that list | 07:50 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: it's just bizarre. I had it on Hardy, I deleted it. It never bothered me all through Intrepid and now on Jaunty it's bugging me again | 07:50 |
| ActionParsnip | mralexandro: type its name in a terminal and hit enter | 07:50 |
| InDuS | anom01y: aah but its somewhere | 07:50 |
| anom01y | /dev/v4l ? | 07:50 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: as in, update manager keeps asking me to install it | 07:50 |
| ActionParsnip | poyntz: maybe its part of a metapackage | 07:50 |

| InDuS | anom01y: hmm check inside that | 07:50 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: possibly. I could try to blacklist it, like you said. How could I do that? | 07:50 |
| InDuS | anom01y: if you can find it it will be nice , we could just point to it | 07:50 |
| ActionParsnip | poyntz: not sure dude, sorry | 07:50 |
| InDuS | anom01y: ls -l /dev/video0 | 07:50 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: thanks anyhow :) | 07:51 |

| ActionParsnip | mralexandro: how do you mean "have to have games" | 07:52 |
| mahmood | i have a question is it possible to have a video call with skype on ubuntu? | 07:52 |

| ActionParsnip | mahmood: sure | 07:52 |
| mralexandro | ActionParsnip, i can not just enter it in terminal. i have to go into the games folder and type stratagus | 07:52 |
| mahmood | how could you explain? | 07:52 |
| mralexandro | its like wine i guess:D | 07:52 |
| anom01y | InDuS, | 07:52 |
| * poyntz can't wait till firefox merges with shiretoko as a package | 07:52 | |

| InDuS | anom01y: really? | 07:53 |
| anom01y | in capture settings, but I have to change the audio channel to 1 and the video channel to 2 | 07:53 |
| ActionParsnip | poyntz: if you have the ubuntu-desktop package installed it will install firefox 3 and pidgin each update. If you dont have one of those you cannot up to the next release | 07:53 |
| anom01y | then I have to lower the audio quality dramatically | 07:53 |
| InDuS | anom01y: iam wondering whether we can make pvr to video1 | 07:53 |
| anom01y | because it' | 07:53 |

| ActionParsnip | poyntz: you can remove it but wen you try to jump to the next release you wont be able without installing the metapackage again and therefore pidgin | 07:58 |

| ActionParsnip | poyntz: sudo apt-get --reinstall install pidgin; sudo apt-get --purge remove pidgin; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove | 08:01 |
| anom01y | because I have alot of old conspiracy documentries on vcr that I need to record to the computer | 08:01 |

| anom01y | Gnea, I haven't had to change channels yet, but vlc does change the channel | 08:05 |
| Gnea | InDuS: DVR is like a VCR, but it records in digital, usually mpegs | 08:05 |
| anom01y | it looks like | 08:05 |
| ActionParsnip | poyntz: OOo is 500Mb installed. Abiword is a few Mbs | 08:05 |
| InDuS | Gnea: dont want to setup backend, front end, dont want to set some passowrds for mythtv user, dont like to do those mythtvdatabasefills, | 08:05 |
| anom01y | and records | 08:05 |
| ActionParsnip | poyntz: its pretty much the same | 08:05 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: ahh k. so sever resource advantages | 08:05 |
| daman841 | Gnea: Do you know any good pci or pcix cards that accept multiple cablecards? | 08:05 |
| InDuS | Gnea: its outrageously stupid | 08:05 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: so if I open up a doc file it will look retarded | 08:05 |
| Gnea | anom01y: I'm just suggesting, for the amount of work you want to do, and for the type of quality you'd like to achieve, mythtv *may* be a better way to go. but, if you can do it with vlc, my hat's off to you. | 08:05 |

| poyntz | ActionParsnip: because that's OOo for you | 08:06 |
| ActionParsnip | poyntz: if yuo're running a server you shouldnt be running an x server | 08:06 |
| ubuntunewbie | hi anyone know german language ??? please ? I need help http://www.ubuntu-forum.de/artikel/28303/canon-ip-2500-druckt-nicht.html | 08:06 |
| Gnea | daman841: anything by hauppage is good | 08:06 |
| InDuS | Gnea: then through the miracle of google, i found tvtime | 08:06 |
| ubuntunewbie | please | 08:06 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: I'm not running a server. i'm using ubuntu desktop. I need all the useless features that are aesthetically pleasing :) | 08:06 |
| InDuS | Gnea: ya in anom01y case mythtv seems suited for it | 08:06 |
| Gnea | InDuS: doesn't seem too stupid to me, tvtime is designed to watch tv and nothing more. even synaptic or apt-cache could tell you that :) | 08:06 |
| dreamcage | ppl you shold work with ruby | 08:07 |
| ActionParsnip | poyntz: i like slickness, hence lxde | 08:07 |
| anom01y | everythings going digital nowadays anyways, I won't need to tune old analog coax inputs | 08:07 |
| ActionParsnip | poyntz: less aethetics == less ram use | 08:07 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: that said, if it's not something that enhances usability (such as compiz), I tend to pick lighter versions of software. For example, alpine for email, bitlbee for IM | 08:07 |
| anom01y | I'm using the video/audio plugins at the back of the tuner card | 08:07 |
| InDuS | Gnea: but its not really all over the forums not famous, i was brainwashed to use mythtv and couldnt stop laughing at the outrageous amount of config needed | 08:07 |
| Gnea | InDuS: if you don't want to use it, then don't. clearly, mythtv isn't suited for YOUR needs. to boycott it is counterproductive. | 08:07 |
| ActionParsnip | poyntz: i dont find compiz aids usability personally. its just a tonne of gloss | 08:08 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: yeah, mine's shocking. I have to plug mine into power because it runs the battery flat so quick | 08:08 |
| InDuS | Gnea: all i wanted was see some tv, found tvtime, the brilliantly simple interface i setup in 5 min | 08:08 |
| anom01y | one channel only on video/audio rca plugins. I don't think I will ever use the coaxial input | 08:09 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: it's great how you can change workstations so easily and move running programs from workstation to workstation | 08:09 |
| InDuS | Gnea: wasteda aday with 'IS the database running' errors , yeah right whats a database | 08:09 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: but that said, most of the features of compiz I have disabled | 08:09 |
| InDuS | Gnea: they need to have a mythtv lite edition for sure | 08:09 |
| anom01y | I did notice that mythtv is able to set up with the remote control I got with my tv/tuner card thoguh, which is cool | 08:09 |
| ActionParsnip | poyntz: i just use LXDE, nice and light | 08:09 |
| InDuS | anom01y: my remote didnt work with neither ones | 08:09 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: also, Awn is nice because you can have big bright icons to launch progs | 08:09 |
| Gnea | InDuS: okay, so it took you a whole day. it took me 3 *months* to get a better X interface about 10 years ago. I really don't think you went through anything too traumatic to deserve a boycott of a software that works great for thousands of users :) | 08:09 |
| ubuntunewbie | what is "cups missing filter" ? | 08:10 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: when I'm drunk I like having big bright icons to launch progs | 08:10 |
| anom01y | I just bought it for the video/audio input jacks though, not the coaxial support. and the remote is for controlling the coaxial input only | 08:10 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: KISS principle | 08:10 |
| InDuS | Gnea: heh ok but it needs a lite edition wihc can be easily done iam sure, maybe ill do it myself | 08:10 |
| poyntz | so does lxde do everything - aka video, music, etc | 08:10 |
| ActionParsnip | poyntz: i use terminal for most things and simply type the names of my scripts or the commands themselves to launch apps | 08:10 |
| Gnea | InDuS: I'm sure they and everyone else would appreciate it :) | 08:10 |
| ActionParsnip | poyntz: exactly | 08:10 |
| anom01y | so I put my remote in a box in my closet | 08:10 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: so you prob use mplayer for music... | 08:10 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: and then for vid, what do you use, and what's the quality like? | 08:11 |
| ActionParsnip | poyntz: i use mplayer for all | 08:11 |
| InDuS | Gnea: i had this in mind for new users, asking crazy tech stuff like database passowrdds is scary | 08:11 |
| ActionParsnip | poyntz: i use vlc sometimes as my G1 phone talks to it noce | 08:11 |
| ActionParsnip | *nice | 08:11 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: nice. it's a great little player | 08:11 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: but like you I also like VLC | 08:12 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: VLC tends to be able to do more | 08:12 |
| InDuS | Gnea: it installs a whole lot of nonsense, then the configuration omg really | 08:12 |
| Gnea | InDuS: well, we usually recommend apps like tvtime to new users - not sure who led you astray, but perhaps it's not too late to steer away from all of that nonsense.. | 08:12 |
| * mneptok pulls out the "offtopic" banner, just in case | 08:12 | |
| ActionParsnip | poyntz: i like a command line interface and vlc-nox runs pretty decent | 08:12 |
| InDuS | Gnea: well google andforums i guess | 08:12 |
| InDuS | Gnea: mythtv front end, mythtv backend ,lol configure devices bla bla | 08:12 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: I guess it's what you're used to. For basic tasks, click suits me. For file management, process prioritisation, installs, etc I use command | 08:13 |
| InDuS | Gnea: ok ill drop it EOD | 08:13 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: calc and dict are also handy command apps | 08:13 |
| ActionParsnip | poyntz: i use nearly all cli, only time i use the mouse is when i web browse | 08:13 |
| Gnea | InDuS: ah, okay, it's just the way things line up for you, or the way you pieced them together - understandable. still, I wouldn't take a whole day and piss all over it like that, there's better things to worry about. TV works for you now, so maybe you might think twice about mythtv in the future if you decide you want to record your shows :) | 08:13 |
| ActionParsnip | poyntz: bc ;) | 08:13 |
| poyntz | bc - what's that? | 08:13 |
| ActionParsnip | poyntz: type it in a terminal | 08:14 |
| ActionParsnip | poyntz: then type some mathematical sums | 08:14 |
| === DJones_ is now known as DJones | ||
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: why would you use that over python? | 08:14 |
| ActionParsnip | poyntz: its simple and does the job | 08:14 |
| error404notfound | any ideas on how to setup a socks5 proxy server for jabber file transfer proxy? | 08:14 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: but you already have python installed... actually yeah, bc is installed | 08:15 |
| ActionParsnip | poyntz: python is a language too, not an app | 08:15 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: however you prob need python more | 08:15 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: when I say python here I mean the prog | 08:15 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: before I installed calc I used python | 08:15 |
| ActionParsnip | poyntz: pyton the program is an interpreter | 08:15 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: but it does maths | 08:16 |
| ActionParsnip | poyntz: its not a calculator app | 08:16 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: like I said, it does maths | 08:16 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: you enter calculations in and it does them | 08:16 |
| ActionParsnip | poyntz: how do yuo launch it? | 08:16 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: but I didn't like the way it rounded things off | 08:16 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: typing "python" in command | 08:16 |
| konflict | Hello all.. I have tried to make a bootable USB stick using UNetBootIN.. I am currently running Vista on the machine I'm trying to boot it from. Anyways, it starts to boot off the USB stick and flashes a bunch of debug info, like some grub info or something but its too fast too read, and then it never loads Ubuntu after that, it just proceeds to load Vista :( I notice something when the info flashes about "Vista Loader" .. A | 08:17 |
| ActionParsnip | poyntz: i'll give it a whirl | 08:17 |
| reeniginEesreveR | can i setup a mailsrerver on a subdomain? any tutorial on setting up qmail on ubuntu? | 08:17 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: go ahead, but I prefer calc because it's more calculation friendly (in my opinion) | 08:17 |
| Phaux | Anyone know how to turn off the option to switch workspaces with the scroll button on a mouse in an empty area? | 08:18 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: and you can do calc calculations by simply typing calc 3+5 in command | 08:18 |
| phreck | Phaux: turn off compiz | 08:18 |
| phreck | or reconfigure your bindings in userspace switching. | 08:18 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: I've just realised that when I say calc, I don't mean calc | 08:18 |
| Phaux | phreck: where is the binding list located? | 08:18 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: I've bound whatever program I'm running to c so I just type c 3+5 | 08:19 |
| phreck | do you have the compiz config settings manager installed Phaux?? | 08:19 |
| Phaux | yea | 08:19 |
| phreck | open it up | 08:19 |
| ubuntunewbie | what is "cups missing filter" ? any help pleaseeee | 08:19 |
| ActionParsnip | poyntz: not bad this python lark, might have to alias :D | 08:19 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: ok, it's not calc, it's qalc | 08:19 |
| phreck | should be in the options where you choose expo/desktopwall/cube | 08:19 |
| phreck | dont remember the exact | 08:19 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: yeah, alias to c maybe | 08:20 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: I like one letter commands lol. c = calc; d = dict, i = sudo apt-get install; update = sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 08:20 |
| Phaux | phreck: cool found it, thanks | 08:21 |
| phreck | Phaux: np | 08:21 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: so yeah, typing update is so much more convenient than using the GUI | 08:21 |
| linny | could anyone tell me how to autostart a program that needs sudo ? | 08:22 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: it's the same in irssi - all my /commands are bound to one letter aliases | 08:22 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: apart from maybe /wio = /window immortal off | 08:22 |
| ActionParsnip | poyntz: i use 'fullupgrde' and i use -y --force-yes in it too, it is cron'd to run at 4am every day | 08:22 |

| george_ | i need to know how to connect ubuntu to wireleeesnetork | 08:27 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: ack. so I think it's like I said. you're better at the software side of things | 08:27 |
| ActionParsnip | poyntz: ahhhh you meant bastion host, yes it performs that | 08:27 |
| ubuntunewbie | hornets : I install a printer driver .pps but it said cups missing filter".and it can't print | 08:27 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: my degrees general system stuff | 08:27 |
| grawity | jgornick: I somehow don't think bots should be launched from init.d... | 08:27 |
| hornets | ubuntunewbie: did you tried to restart the cups service? | 08:28 |
| ubuntunewbie | hornets : I really need help fixing it for printing | 08:28 |
| ActionParsnip | poyntz: mines protocols, technologys and topologys | 08:28 |
| jgornick | grawity, besides that fact :) | 08:28 |
| ubuntunewbie | hornets : how to restart ? | 08:28 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: not 100%. there's a few types that use a bastion host | 08:28 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: dual homed means there's two NICs and NAT translation | 08:28 |
| ejv | hahaha | 08:28 |
| ejv | gj mneptok :D | 08:28 |
| gnhk666 | anyone got time to help a newbie with wireless??? please!!! | 08:28 |
| hornets | -> /sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys restart | 08:28 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: NICs being Network Interface Cards | 08:28 |
| ActionParsnip | poyntz: from the description i'd say it was but i could be wrong. it forards port si want and drops any incomming connections on the rest | 08:28 |
| phreck | man | 08:29 |
| ActionParsnip | poyntz: i know what a NIC is sheesh | 08:29 |
| phreck | this place is LoLz right now. | 08:29 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: lol | 08:29 |
| ActionParsnip | poyntz: yes it does have 2 nics | 08:29 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: I thought what you were saying is firewall related | 08:29 |
| ActionParsnip | poyntz: one goes to the modem, the others are for the connections and an antennae | 08:29 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: sorry I think of the router/firewall as being separated | 08:29 |
| phreck | if ive got two internal wifi chipsets can i do the same thing with them? | 08:29 |
| jgornick | grawity, I guess I'm looking for a runlevels and index when it should run? | 08:29 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: I'm doing my Honours thesis in information security :P | 08:30 |
| ActionParsnip | poyntz: nat performs basic firewalling | 08:30 |
| ActionParsnip | poyntz: nice | 08:30 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: so don't start hacking me to prove a point :P | 08:30 |
| Crayboff | alright, i'm using irssi for the first time and got nicklist.pl, however i'm can't get it to scroll through lists | 08:30 |
| grawity | jgornick: Ubuntu uses Upstart, which makes all runlevels basically equal. | 08:30 |
| ActionParsnip | poyntz: i dont hack. i have better things to do with my time | 08:30 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: LOL too true! | 08:30 |
| ActionParsnip | poyntz: like see the world and party | 08:31 |
| Crayboff | well scrolling through isn't a problem, it's the binding | 08:31 |
| grawity | jgornick: After writing the init.d script, take a look at update-rc.d | 08:31 |
| jgornick | grawity, so, should I use something like update-rc.d myscript default ? | 08:31 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: but yeah, I don't hack. I try to eliminate the potential for threats such as hacking to manifest | 08:31 |
| Crayboff | i want to bind a command in irssi, and /bind meta-up isn't working | 08:31 |
| Boohbah | Crayboff: /j #irssi | 08:31 |
| linny | could anyone tell me how to autostart a program that needs sudo ? I read the man page and I think it something like -S but sudo -S <password> <command> doesn't work ? | 08:32 |
| grawity | Crayboff: Try binding to meta-meta-[-A | 08:32 |
| grawity | linny: Autostart from where? | 08:32 |
| grawity | Crayboff: Or meta2-[-A | 08:32 |

| Gnea | InDuS: aaah, well, karmic isn't a stable release, so problems are to be expected - good luck | 08:34 |

| jamieleshaw | Hello, Is there a clipboard manager which sllows you to autmatically remove formatting when you copy something? | 08:34 |
| jamieleshaw | allows* | 08:34 |
| ActionParsnip | linny: thats only to edit the file. you write your command/s in th file without sudo | 08:34 |
| linny | ActionParsnip: I need to run tinyproxy it won't run unless its ran with sudo | 08:35 |

| InDuS | Gnea: about lirc, did it work out of the box for u with mythtv? | 08:35 |
| Gnea | InDuS: no, always have had to configure lirc, usually manually | 08:36 |
| InDuS | Gnea: right now,i can only use it with system ,mute system volume,and power off shuts down system | 08:36 |
| jamieleshaw | Hello, Is there a clipboard manager which allows you to automatically remove formatting when you copy something? | 08:36 |
| linny | that's my question how do I add it so it starts silently and doesn't ask for password ? | 08:36 |
| Gnea | InDuS: yeah, you'd have to edit the config file to tell the different buttons what you want them to do.. there's a procedure for getting all of the button codes from the remote and then mapping them | 08:37 |
| ActionParsnip | linny: i've told you 3 times now. Add it to /etc/rc.local | 08:37 |
| linny | add what just sudo tinyproxy ? | 08:37 |
| ActionParsnip | linny: whatever makes it run, add it to that file but aove the exit line | 08:37 |
| InDuS | Gnea: ya i need that procedure | 08:37 |
| ActionParsnip | linny: and without sudo as its not needed as root is running it so sudo isnt needed | 08:37 |
| Gnea | InDuS: pretty sure the mythtv site has a link to it, i think it uses irevent or something like that | 08:38 |
| linny | I see I didn't realise that thank you | 08:38 |
| dsdeiz | ActionParsnip: is that how to stop applications that run upon boot up stop? | 08:38 |
| ActionParsnip | mralexandro: no idea about any ofthat man, i just run pidgin as is | 08:38 |
| mralexandro | ActionParsnip, hehe ok, but do you know that file GTK2_RC_FILES ? | 08:38 |
| ubuntunewbie | I tried restart with "sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys restart" but still say "cups-missing-filter" any help guys ? | 08:38 |
| ActionParsnip | dsdeiz: you can use the startup manager or bum to edit the startup but to add items to run with more power you can add them to /etc/rc.local | 08:39 |
| ActionParsnip | mralexandro: no idea, sorry | 08:39 |
| mralexandro | ok:) | 08:39 |

| ActionParsnip | gnhk666: i had no way of knowing that did I | 08:44 |
| SanitariuM | gnhk666, you need to blacklist the default driver, and enable the alternate driver. | 08:44 |
| AussieGuy | is there any diffrence between a single port router hooked up to a 4 port switch, and a 4 port router? | 08:44 |
| ActionParsnip | gnhk666: you could have 40 other PCs which are able to access the web and using one of those | 08:44 |
| SanitariuM | AussieGuy, no difference network and dhcp-wise | 08:44 |
| ActionParsnip | AussieGuy: no, that will work fine | 08:44 |
| Gnea | AussieGuy: pretty much the same | 08:44 |
| ActionParsnip | AussieGuy: the dhcp requests will traverse the switch | 08:45 |
| Gnea | AussieGuy: might be a bit more electrical draw using 2 instead of 1... other than that, should provide the same function | 08:45 |
| mralexandro | ActionParsnip, how do i rename a folder. especially one that has a space between like elegant brit? | 08:45 |
| ActionParsnip | mralexandro: type a few letters of its name and press tab, it will autocomplete for you | 08:45 |
| ubuntunewbie | I tried restart with "sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys restart" but still say "cups-missing-filter" any help guys ? | 08:46 |
| ActionParsnip | mralexandro: can you please ask the room rather than straight to me | 08:46 |
| gnhk666 | Mr Parsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/259149/ | 08:46 |
| SanitariuM | mralexandro, it uses regular expression syntax, which means you need to put a backslash in front of the space, so --> elegant\ brit | 08:46 |

| mralexandro | ActionParsnip, ok i will:) | 08:46 |
| mralexandro | SanitariuM, thanks!:D | 08:46 |
| SanitariuM | gnhk666, i already posted a link to the solution to your problem | 08:47 |
| majuk | AussieGuy: Without subnetting the network, all traffic on the network, regardless of destination, will be seen by all computers on the switch. So it's less efficient. | 08:47 |
| ActionParsnip | i hate broadcom | 08:47 |
| SanitariuM | ubottu, gnhk666 does not have the bcm43 chipset, so he doesn't need broadcom | 08:47 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 08:47 |
| Gnea | SanitariuM: let him figure it out... | 08:47 |
| ActionParsnip | majuk: if its a 4 port switch its hardly going to impact | 08:47 |
| majuk | ActionParsnip: I know. Still true. :) | 08:48 |
| ActionParsnip | tis true | 08:48 |
| gnhk666 | SanitariuM: where would i find such link...? | 08:48 |
| ActionParsnip | gnhk666: i gave you the link you need | 08:48 |
| SanitariuM | gnhk666, read information @ http://ocaoimh.ie/ubunu-wifi-problems-on-the-dell-d630-laptop/ | 08:48 |
| AussieGuy | 4 port is one possibility, I could go up to 86 ports, depending on what I was doing, its for IP phones + asterisk server so however many was needed | 08:48 |
| SanitariuM | gnhk666, you need to blacklist the default driver, and enable the alternate driver. | 08:48 |
| gnhk666 | and i would do this how??? | 08:49 |
| majuk | AussieGuy: Then I would really subnet the network. Otherwise you're gonna run into problems, I would think. | 08:49 |
| ActionParsnip | AussieGuy: with voip and all the ports using it i'd get some high grade switches | 08:49 |

| ActionParsnip | vuze: ask away | 08:52 |
| VuZe | I downloaded and installed ubuntu 9.04 yesterday | 08:53 |
| VuZe | desktop | 08:53 |
| grom358_ | I have a 6.5Gb file on two different machines. The file on one machine is corrupt. Will rsync only sync across the corrupted portion of the file? | 08:53 |
| dehqan | good day everybody ,how can this problem be fixed ? | 08:53 |
| mikey | hey how do i download windows visa or xp i want to get rid of this ubuntu | 08:53 |
| dehqan | The following packages have unmet dependencies: | 08:53 |
| ActionParsnip | mikey: you dont download it, its not free | 08:53 |
| dehqan | libxml2-dev: Depends: libxml2 (= 2.6.32.dfsg-5+lenny1) but 2.7.3.dfsg-2+b1 is to be installed | 08:53 |
| VuZe | I started from the livecd just fine | 08:54 |
| ActionParsnip | vuze: did you md5 check the iso and verify the cd once burned and booted to? | 08:54 |
| VuZe | yup | 08:54 |
| mikey | how do i go back to my original windows | 08:54 |
| VuZe | i entered setup | 08:54 |
| ActionParsnip | vuze: good lad :) | 08:54 |
| darksifer | fahadsadah: hi. u remember me? am the guy from yesterday having problem with the ext4 partition. u recommend me to do e2fsck -y -v /dev/sdb5. operation completed successfully but stil cannot mount the drive | 08:54 |
| VuZe | the resolution was a bit too big but it was visible | 08:54 |
| dehqan | Will it have problem if it be forced to install upper version of libxml2 ? | 08:54 |
| ActionParsnip | VuZe: ok can you please provide a pastebin of: sudo lshw -C display | 08:55 |
| VuZe | its not the problem, i installed fine | 08:55 |
| ActionParsnip | mikey: you reinstate the windows boot loader using your windows cd | 08:55 |
| VuZe | once i got into linux properly i reconfigured the resolution | 08:55 |
| VuZe | it was working | 08:55 |
| dutchbuntu | dehqan: sudo apt-get install -f | 08:55 |
| VuZe | then i shut it off | 08:55 |
| darksifer | fahadsadah: it says wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock ....... try dmesg | tail | 08:55 |
| SanitariuM | VuZe, Please try to type in one line so we don't have to scroll 30 lines up to follow your question | 08:56 |
| VuZe | right ok | 08:56 |
| mikey | ok | 08:56 |
| mikey | i have a question | 08:56 |
| mikey | action | 08:56 |
| dehqan | dutchbuntu does it force it to install upper version ? | 08:56 |
| darksifer | can anybody help me mount a partition in ext4. i got my urgent important assignments on . when i mount i got a message saying it says wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock ....... try dmesg | tail | 08:57 |
| darksifer | pleaseeee | 08:57 |
| dutchbuntu | dehqan: it will repair the broken dependancies. no upgrades of installed packages | 08:57 |
| ActionParsnip | mikey: if you want to only boot to windows then boot to windows, delete the ubuntu partition and then reinstate the windows boot loader using your windows cd | 08:57 |
| darksifer | Gnea: hi. u remember me? am the guy from yesterday having problem with the ext4 partition. u recommend me to do e2fsck -y -v /dev/sdb5. operation completed successfully but stil cannot mount the drive. it says wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock ....... try dmesg | tail | 08:57 |
| dehqan | dutchbuntu it will remove some packages but why ? | 08:58 |
| askvictor | can i permanently change the default permission bits for a FAT-formatted usb drive? | 08:58 |
| VuZe | the first time i installed, it was working fine. the second time i tried to run linux (shutdown and then boot 30mins later) it got into GRUB, i selected the top option which worked for me last time, and it flashed bars of weird colours and then it showed an errored version of the ubuntu loading bar with symbols across the top, inverted colours and the word ubuntu and the loading bar repeated across the screen | 08:58 |
| SanitariuM | darksifer, what filesystem is the partition you are trying to mount? | 08:58 |
| darksifer | ext4 | 08:59 |
| gst | my mic is not getting up..any suggestions? | 08:59 |
| ActionParsnip | VuZe: boot to recovery mode for your kernel (esc when grub loads) then select root so you get a root console, you can then run: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg; shutdown -r now | 08:59 |
| dutchbuntu | dehqan: probably because something went wrong when they were installed. make a note of the packages which will be deleted. afterwards reinstall them: sudo apt-get install <package_name> | 08:59 |
| VuZe | alright action | 08:59 |
| ActionParsnip | gst: coffee or viagra | 08:59 |

| darksifer | SanitariuM: ext4. i tried e2fsck -y -v on the partition. it run the whole night. and stil i get the same problem wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock ....... try dmesg | tail | 09:00 |
| gatto | hi all | 09:00 |
| dutchbuntu | ActionParsnip, lol | 09:00 |
| SanitariuM | darksifer, from what i know of mounting ntfs partitions, it should be --> sudo mkdir /media/disk && sudo mount -t ext4 /dev/sda5 /media/disk | 09:00 |
| ActionParsnip | dutchbuntu: i'm laughing so hard over here | 09:00 |
| SanitariuM | darksifer, just checking to make sure you're mounting with correct options... cuz that error sounds like an error in your mount syntax rather than an error with the partition | 09:01 |
| gst | ActionParsnip, wat is that coffee or viagra? | 09:02 |
| mikey | hello | 09:02 |
| ActionParsnip | gst: its a joke, to get the mic up you can use viagra | 09:02 |

| dutchbuntu | !debian | 09:04 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! | 09:04 |
| SanitariuM | mikey, if your wifi is broadcom as your lshw said (google said otherwise), you need to get the laptop on a WIRED connection... then go to a TERMINAL window and type --> sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter - then go to system/administration/hardware drivers, select the new broadcom driver, and enable it, then reboot - done. | 09:04 |
| ActionParsnip | !sound | gst | 09:04 |

| dehqan | if you don't know answer ,dont say something that everyone know | 09:09 |
| SanitariuM | darksifer, do some googling on a program called "testdisk" (apt-get install testdisk)... I used it to fix a damaged NTFS partition just last week... since it's written on linux I'd only assume it can fix your ext4 as well | 09:09 |
| lstarnes | dehqan: we cannot answer you here, but the people in #debian can | 09:09 |

| VuZe | reset? | 09:12 |
| SanitariuM | It's an option that tells it to reset/reconifgure it | 09:13 |
| VuZe | right | 09:13 |
| SanitariuM | It's written right in the helpfile as a recommendation for video problems | 09:13 |
| ActionParsnip | VuZe: then if you boot back to root recovery, run: nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf and go to the section decribing Configured Video Device and add the line Driver "vesa" press ctrl+x, press y then press enter | 09:13 |
| lstarnes | VuZe: it's for high resolution | 09:13 |
| Guest80661 | on the gnome menu panel, how do i restore the network icon back on there? i accidentally removed i | 09:13 |
| ActionParsnip | VuZe: then run: shutdown -r now | 09:13 |
| bazhang | Guest80661, right click add to panel ? | 09:13 |
| lstarnes | ActionParsnip: that might not be necessary | 09:14 |
| VuZe | lstarnes - ive got a 15" monitor on 1024x786 | 09:14 |
| lstarnes | VuZe: try sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart | 09:14 |
| SanitariuM | VuZe, Parsnip's advise is good... but try the first 3 options I've got... his is more of a last resort (using default vesa driver) | 09:14 |
| VuZe | let me write all this down | 09:14 |
| ActionParsnip | lstarnes: its good to do though, overrides hal if its being dumb | 09:14 |

| mikey | please i dont know i didnt understand this from the begining my buddy installed this in my laptop | 09:17 |
| SanitariuM | mikey, HP Pavilion dv6000 has a SOFTWARE wifi manager... that software has the ability to turn the wifi HARDWARE on and off... IF that setting is turned to OFF before you installed ubuntu... you stand a 50/50 chance of being able to turn it back on without reinstalling windows and enabling it thru the manufacturer's software | 09:17 |
| mikey | action please i need beter directions then that i am ubuntu stupid | 09:17 |
| SanitariuM | mikey, there is a program for linux that has the capability to turn that hardware on/off similar to the default windows software, but it only works on about half of the laptops out there... let me try and google the name of it | 09:18 |
| mikey | so how can i do it the other 50% | 09:18 |
| SanitariuM | brb google | 09:18 |
| solenopsis | Guest80661: (The Notification Area applet contains the network icon.) | 09:18 |

You run the command I said them copy the text using the mouse and vist http://pastebin.com you then paste the text in the page and type your name in the little box and click the paste button.

| Seguer | hey guys, anyone available to help with ALSA? my on-board sound card isn't being recognised, but querying the motherboard shows it as an Audio Device. running the ALSA script gives me no driver version (results at http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=6373084b29a6908e9b608b3038a8ecb778301e20) | 09:20 |
| SanitariuM | mikey, listen to Parsnip first... you have to install the correct driver before you can worry about whether or not that windows software has it disabled on you | 09:21 |
| oenchoe | gadiz_buruk_rupa | 09:22 |
| SanitariuM | mikey, rather than pastebinning it... you can just do "lshw -C network", then look for the one that's related to wifi... and you're looking for a line similar to this one --> description : Wireless Interface / product: AR2413 802.11bg NIC <-- then just type that line in here for us | 09:23 |
| darksifer | SanitariuM: testdisk says unable to open device.. is there any other solution | 09:23 |
| SanitariuM | mikey, the product line is the one that has your exact model info that we need to determine correct driver | 09:23 |
| ActionParsnip | SanitariuM: nice one | 09:23 |
| SanitariuM | darksifer, like I said, I only used testdisk once to fix an NTFS partition, you need to google for how to use it on ext4 or read the manual "man testdisk" | 09:24 |

| VuZe | action: i tried "nano /etc/x11/xorg.conf" | 09:31 |
| SanitariuM | mikey, it's either a switch on/off, or it's a key combination like Fn+F2 | 09:31 |

| mikey | and yes it is swiched on | 09:32 |
| SanitariuM | thank you | 09:32 |
| VuZe | bazhang, is it case sensetive | 09:32 |
| SanitariuM | mikey, regrettably you must had your wifi disabled the last time you shut windows down... so that wifi is semi-permanately disabled by the windows software (that controls the hardware on/off status)... I'm having trouble locating the linux program that tries to do what the windows program does... wait a few more minutes while I keep googling for it. | 09:32 |

| InDuS | poent: hmm game looks cool | 09:59 |

| ActionParsnip | poent: if you go into the directory you installed the app to and run: wine blockland.exe (adjusting for case) you will get outputs that you can make useful in websearches | 10:00 |
| lstarnes | ubuntunewbie: I don't know how to fix that | 10:00 |
| Gnea | mikey: good. now type: sudo apt-get install pastebin | 10:00 |
| ubuntunewbie | lstarnes: is ok , still thanks for replying to me ;-) | 10:01 |
| mikey | it says........ Couldn't find package pastebin | 10:01 |
| mikey | last line | 10:01 |
| ActionParsnip | poent: the default wine folder is ~/.wine/drive_c | 10:01 |
| Gnea | mikey: sorry, that should've been: sudo apt-get install pastebinit | 10:01 |
| lstarnes | mikey: I think you want pastebinit, not pastebin | 10:01 |
| Gnea | lstarnes: yeah, i typo'd : | 10:02 |
| Gnea | :) | 10:02 |
| poent | rgr that | 10:02 |
| poent | blockland itself has a console output that looks like its just messing up the refresh | 10:02 |
| mikey | this is what it says | 10:02 |
| mikey | pastebinit is already the newest version. | 10:02 |
| mikey | 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. | 10:02 |

| ubottu | george: 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 | 10:08 |

| grawity | mralexandro: A .tar.gz is simply an archive of files. There's no "install" or "uninstall" - you simply delete files. | 10:13 |

| ubuntu | im stumped | 10:28 |
| ActionParsnip | ubuntu: you could boot to root console with ntworking and reinstall the kenel, this would then readd it to the bootup | 10:28 |
| VuZe | ActionParsnip, when it gives me a graphical error i cant do anything except a hard reboot | 10:28 |
| VuZe | ActionParsnip, its like this, the error | 10:29 |
| ActionParsnip | VuZe: you boot to root recovery console (esc when grub shows up then select root) you can then run: less /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 10:29 |
| ubuntu | but it doesnt even show a grub menu | 10:29 |
| ubuntu | at this moment im in a live cd | 10:29 |
| ActionParsnip | ubuntu: then you can boot to livecd and chroot | 10:29 |
| ubuntu | and i can chroot into it | 10:30 |
| ubuntu | yeh | 10:30 |
| mralexandro | is there a quick way to see changes when you have switched emrald theme or do you have to restart? | 10:30 |

| Gnea | napsy: X 'clients'? | 10:35 |

| Gnea | install more ram | 10:36 |
| napsy | Gnea: the problem isn't ram. It's xorg because it limits the number of client connections | 10:36 |
| ActionParsnip | mnaines: then any DE will do you | 10:36 |
| Gnea | napsy: huh, didn't think that was done by default.... how much memory do you have? | 10:37 |
| napsy | Gnea: 6 gb | 10:37 |
| Gnea | okay. | 10:37 |
| mnaines | ActionParsnip: I use GNOME right now, though I use VESA and KDE when I'm on BackTrack 3 | 10:37 |
| Gnea | that's a good amount of ram :) | 10:37 |
| ActionParsnip | mnaines: i use lxde througout | 10:38 |
| mnaines | ActionParsnip: I think my idea is better because it gets me used to the different DEs | 10:38 |
| ubuntu | but does anyone know what this wiered face thing is??? | 10:39 |
| Gnea | napsy: is it telling you a message that it's out? where does it say it? | 10:39 |
| ActionParsnip | mnaines: lxde is a different de :/ | 10:39 |
| ubuntu | frist i got a error 15, then reinstalled grub now all i get is this face | 10:39 |
| humbolt | What is the primary virtualisation technology in Ubuntu? | 10:39 |
| gangsta | hey guys how can i save the configuration for my gnome desktop?? | 10:39 |
| InDuS | !who | ubuntu | 10:39 |
| ubottu | ubuntu: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 10:39 |
| ActionParsnip | ubuntu: what does error 15 mean | 10:39 |
| InDuS | i have heard of this problem | 10:39 |
| mnaines | ActionParsnip: I mean that if I use multiple distros each with a different DE, I can get myself comfortable with those different DEs | 10:39 |
| rsk | humbolt: none | 10:39 |
| qetuR | Hey! I need to install Firefox 3, how do I do it? | 10:39 |
| ubuntu | file not found | 10:39 |
| gangsta | qetuR: go with synaptic | 10:40 |
| humbolt | rsk: none? xen or kvm? | 10:40 |
| ActionParsnip | mnaines: true | 10:40 |
| ubuntu | at this moment apt-get is updating | 10:40 |
| rsk | humbolt: there's no primary. | 10:40 |
| qetuR | gangsta, when i try to do that i only get 3.5 | 10:40 |
| ActionParsnip | ubuntu: i'd let that bake and see what happens | 10:40 |
| lstarnes | qetuR: which version of ubuntu are you using? | 10:40 |
| qetuR | 9.04 | 10:40 |
| qetuR | LSD|Ninja, | 10:40 |
| ubuntu | ActionParsnip: it says no internet connection | 10:40 |
| gangsta | qetuR: it should exist a site in which you can find every old release of every program.. | 10:40 |
| ActionParsnip | qetuR: sudo apt-get install firefox-3.0 | 10:40 |
| humbolt | rsk: which one is better supported by upstream? | 10:40 |
| gangsta | guys can you help me with my gnome desktop? | 10:41 |
| rsk | humbolt: kvm is in the kernel, xen is not. | 10:41 |
| napsy | Gnea: well when the limit is reached ... gui programs start to nag about x client limit | 10:41 |
| qetuR | ActionParsnip, I already got the latest version it says | 10:41 |
| rsk | humbolt: so kvm will always get love when needed | 10:41 |
| javierito | mmm como se entra al canal ubuntu españa? | 10:41 |
| VuZe | ActionParsnip, i found the problem | 10:41 |
| myself | !spanish | 10:41 |
| ubottu | En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. | 10:41 |
| ActionParsnip | qetuR: then launch it with alt=f2 then type firefox-3.0 | 10:41 |
| javierito | okay | 10:41 |
| ActionParsnip | VuZe: sup? | 10:41 |
| VuZe | ActionParsnip, i wrote the error down | 10:41 |

| gangsta | guys please can you help me? | 10:41 |
| javierito | gracias ubottu | 10:41 |
| VuZe | " | 10:42 |
| ActionParsnip | VuZe: ok whats the score | 10:42 |
| humbolt | rsk: for linux on linux only virtualization, what is the recommended choice for virtualization? | 10:42 |
| InDuS | gangsta: yes | 10:42 |
| InDuS | gangsta: what is | 10:42 |
| ubuntu | humbolt: have a look at virtualboz or quemu | 10:42 |
| ubuntu | qemu is quit good | 10:42 |
| ActionParsnip | humbolt: there is no recommended anything | 10:42 |
| gangsta | inDus: i have a gnome desktop and i have to save its configuration. do you have in mind the panel bar? | 10:42 |
| wiktor | server irc.abuser.pl | 10:42 |

| === wiktor is now known as Guest25792 | ||
| ActionParsnip | humbolt: there are options, just try a few see which you like | 10:42 |
| lstarnes | waxhead_: /server | 10:42 |
| InDuS | gangsta: aah sorry dont know this one | 10:42 |
| lstarnes | waxhead_: oops, ignore that | 10:43 |
| humbolt | ActionParsnip: keep it simple, what makes the most sense? | 10:43 |
| lstarnes | Guest25792: /server | 10:43 |
| InDuS | gangsta: is it some file you looking for? | 10:43 |
| ActionParsnip | humbolt: all | 10:43 |
| Guest25792 | thx | 10:43 |
| waxhead_ | lstarnes: will do.. :) | 10:43 |
| ubuntu | would it be better to backup my files and reinstall??? then try to get the kernel to reinstall | 10:43 |
| ActionParsnip | humbolt: vmware, virtualbox and qemu all are good | 10:43 |
| mnaines | humbolt: Its really a matter of which one you feel most comfortable with | 10:43 |
| ubuntu | as apt-get update says no internet connection in a chroot | 10:43 |
| gangsta | InDuS: no, it is just the panel bar.. the most simple thing in every desktop.. | 10:43 |
| VuZe | ActionParsnip, i wrote the error above^^ | 10:43 |
| qetuR | ActionParsnip, when i start firefox-3.0 | 10:43 |
| humbolt | ActionParsnip: As Xen is paravitualized, it might make the most sense for linux on linux?! | 10:43 |
| ActionParsnip | VuZe: does your video device have an identifier line? | 10:43 |
| qetuR | the 3.5 starts | 10:43 |
| InDuS | gangsta: what about the panel bar | 10:43 |
| gangsta | InDuS: to launch programs, browse files... | 10:43 |
| VuZe | ActionParsnip, i dont know | 10:44 |
| mnaines | humbolt: When choosing software programs/packages, its not a matter of which one is better, but rather which one will meet your demands | 10:44 |
| VuZe | ActionParsnip, how would i check | 10:44 |
| ActionParsnip | humbolt: all are fine, if you think that is better then go for it | 10:44 |
| pepperphd | in /join ##programing | 10:44 |
| gangsta | InDus: ok.. well you have in mind that you can change its appearance?^ | 10:44 |
| pepperphd | mistell | 10:44 |
| ActionParsnip | VuZe: read the xorg.conf file | 10:44 |
| ubuntu | ??? | 10:44 |
| InDuS | gangsta: well ya right click and changei t | 10:44 |
| l3dlinux | ok is there a way or a script that will let me remove apps by right cliking on them and uninstall.... just like inlinux mint | 10:44 |
| ActionParsnip | VuZe: the identifier name must match the identifier in the server section | 10:44 |
| InDuS | gangsta: iam pretty sure i have not understood your question | 10:45 |
| InDuS | :) | 10:45 |
| ActionParsnip | l3dlinux: synaptic | 10:45 |
| VuZe | ActionParsnip, if it doesnt, should i change it so it does | 10:45 |
| ActionParsnip | VuZe: yes absolutely | 10:45 |
| belcher | Hi. I want to mount my NTFS partition on boot. After I mount manually I get the result: "/dev/sda1 on /media/NTFS type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,blksize=4096)". What entry do I need to put in my /etc/fstab? | 10:45 |
| VuZe | ActionParsnip, thanks for the help, im gonna go do that | 10:46 |
| gangsta | InDus: can i talk to you in pvt? just to explain clearly the situation | 10:46 |
| InDuS | k | 10:46 |
| Alexia | belcher, can i talk to you in private? | 10:46 |
| InDuS | !mount | 10:46 |
| ubottu | mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount | 10:46 |
| ActionParsnip | !ntfs-3g | belcher | 10:46 |
| ubottu | belcher: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions | 10:46 |
| pkkm | what is the difference between traceroute and tracepath? | 10:46 |
| belcher | ActionParsnip, not what I asked | 10:46 |
| InDuS | ActionParsnip: that package is installed by default | 10:46 |
| ActionParsnip | InDuS: but may not be implemented ;) | 10:47 |
| l3dlinux | I know synaptic but i was just wondering cause it just seems easier to right click uninstall the app in the main menu thats all was just inquiring ? | 10:47 |
| ActionParsnip | InDuS: a whole slew of video drivers are installed by default also | 10:47 |
| InDuS | belcher: add in fstab /dev/sda1 <mount point> defaults, and hmm wait i forgot | 10:47 |
| ActionParsnip | belcher: you can use ntfs-3g to give you write access. The factoids tell you how to add to /etc/fstab so it will mount | 10:48 |
| slabbeh | Hi, I have installed openvpn and have noticed that it loads the daemon whenever the computer boots. How can I stop it from loading? | 10:48 |
| gangil | I did this mv /home/gangil/D* and my wallpaper disappeared | 10:48 |
| gangil | why? | 10:48 |
| mnaines | slabbeh: Most VPN clients do that by default. | 10:48 |
| gangil | with admin rights | 10:48 |
| ActionParsnip | belcher: /dev/sda1 /media/ntfspart ntfs-3g -o rw,user,uid=1000 0 0 | 10:49 |
| slabbeh | mnaines, I will only use my VPN when I am out of the office so I don't want it loading everytime | 10:49 |
| InDuS | ActionParsnip: aah thanks | 10:49 |
| ActionParsnip | belcher: you must then run: sudo mkdir /media/ntfspart | 10:49 |
| InDuS | ActionParsnip: i think the preferred point is /media/windows | 10:50 |
| mnaines | slabbeh: That's why I don't use VPNs...I SSH into the office remotely | 10:50 |
| ActionParsnip | belcher: you will need to run: gksudo gedit /etc/fstab to get write access | 10:50 |
| InDuS | ActionParsnip: then it shows icon on desktop | 10:50 |
| ActionParsnip | InDuS: there is no preffered mount point | 10:50 |
| ActionParsnip | InDuS: as long as its outside of /proc it can be anywhere at all | 10:50 |
| mnaines | !ssh | 10:50 |
| ubottu | SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for client usage. Putty is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) | 10:50 |
| InDuS | ActionParsnip: well,in my exp it shows an icon on desktop with that location | 10:50 |
| belcher | InDuS, well, actually I have a few different fstab entries tried already. I was just looking for the "canonical" view. ATM I have "/dev/sda1 /media/NTFS ntfs defaults,uid=1000,umask=022,gid=100 0 0" which already works | 10:51 |
| slabbeh | mnaines, I would but the VPS is managed by a friend | 10:51 |
| belcher | ActionParsnip, well I use vim to edit ... | 10:51 |
| mnaines | slabbeh: You have his computer? | 10:51 |
| InDuS | belcher: ya there are too many options and frankly the one i have is not good either | 10:51 |
| belcher | ActionParsnip, and I'm sorry, but your advice is both inaccurate and uh ... silly | 10:51 |
| InDuS | belcher: gives bad errors in dmesg | 10:51 |
| xrfang | is there any free/opensource Business Intelligence application shipped with Ubuntu? tks. | 10:51 |
| belcher | You don't use "ntfs-3g" for the filesystem type anymore. You haven't for some time. | 10:52 |
| ActionParsnip | belcher: its not inaccurate, if you prefer vim then use: sudo vimm /etc/fstab | 10:52 |
| ActionParsnip | belcher: what part is inaccurate? | 10:52 |
| javierito | hello | 10:52 |
| mnaines | xrfang: OpenOffice has some business-oriented templates | 10:52 |
| comrade_tuttle | This may be the wrong room to ask this, but could any one point me in the direction of a decent newb Python tutorial or How-To in general? | 10:52 |
| belcher | ActionParsnip, you either don't or can't understand. You don't use "ntfs-3g" for the fstype in fstab anymore | 10:52 |
| slabbeh | mnaines, no its a VPS (not sure where it is hosted), the office's static IP is allowed to connect directly to mySQL and FTP etc but when I am out of the office (different IP) I have to connect to the VPN | 10:52 |
| ActionParsnip | belcher: if you want write access you do | 10:53 |
| xrfang | mnaines: I need something like data mining and OLAP etc... not for reporting or document writing... do you mean the database application shipped with OpenOffice? | 10:53 |
| belcher | ActionParsnip, you didn't properly read my question. Why say I have to create a mount point when I explicitly stated I had mounted manually already? | 10:53 |
| mnaines | comrade_tuttle: Try #python...I just popped in there and the room looks pretty full | 10:53 |
| belcher | ActionParsnip, no, you don't | 10:53 |
| ActionParsnip | belcher: can you provide a link to back this up. i am intruiged | 10:53 |
| mnaines | xrfang: You can try that. I have not messed with that side of OpenOffice yet | 10:54 |
| ActionParsnip | belcher: you can read the ntfs natively, not write afaik | 10:54 |
| comrade_tuttle | mnaines: Thanks | 10:54 |
| belcher | ActionParsnip, there are many links. lol, if you don't believe me, try it. You haven't had to use the "ntfs-3g" for the fstype for some time | 10:54 |
| xrfang | mnaines: I just wonder, if R has such capabilities, or is there any opensource alternatives to SAS or SPSS.... and I will take a look at ooo-database now... tks | 10:54 |
| mnaines | xrfang: You know you can always google "Open-Source business applications Linux" | 10:55 |
| comrade_tuttle | mnaines: says I need to register or be identified... | 10:55 |
| ActionParsnip | belcher: no i want you to provide me one to backup your claim. Here is one saying ntfs-3g in fstab is used: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=217009 | 10:55 |

| belcher | ActionParsnip, how about you try it and see. When it is mounted rw you can apologize to me. Thanks. | 10:56 |
| ActionParsnip | belcher: you need to specify ntfs-3g is you want write access, if you only need read access the kernel can do that already | 10:56 |
| bluboy | join #ubuntu-l10n-it | 10:56 |
| belcher | ActionParsnip, er, your link is from July 16th, 2006 ... | 10:56 |
| ActionParsnip | belcher: then i think yuo are telling a tall tale | 10:56 |
| belcher | ActionParsnip, no, you are wrong. Completely wrong | 10:56 |
| xrfang | mnaines: yes I did and found something :) e.g. Pentaho... but just need to know more and study them all briefly :) | 10:56 |
| ActionParsnip | belcher: find me a newer one then | 10:56 |
| ActionParsnip | belcher: you cant back it up... | 10:56 |
| cdoublejj | how many or aproxmatly how many codersarethere for ubuntu | 10:56 |
| mnaines | xrfang: Use what meets your demands...Don't choose a program based on "What's best" | 10:57 |
| cdoublejj | it must be alot it's pretty good | 10:57 |
| belcher | ActionParsnip, since googling is beyond you, here is one: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ubuntu-63/mounting-ntfs-partition-automatically-on-boot-with-fstab-683806/ | 10:57 |
| ActionParsnip | belcher: and fwiw, the man pages for cp are probably older than most users in here | 10:57 |
| ActionParsnip | belcher: yours is from october 2005 | 10:57 |
| xrfang | mnaines: thanks for your suggestion. My purpose is *not* for a particular project, just plan to learn some basics and available products on market. | 10:57 |
| belcher | ActionParsnip, secondly, as I have repeatedly stated, I use the line "/dev/sda1 /media/NTFS ntfs defaults,uid=1000,umask=022,gid=100 0 0" which mounts rw .... | 10:57 |
| ssapphiree | hey all | 10:58 |
| mnaines | xrfang: So basically you're in the "try it before you buy it" mode? | 10:58 |
| belcher | ActionParsnip, I understand now. You spend time reading instead of doing. As I said, try the fstab line I have given. You will see it mounts read-write. No matter how much you protest otherwise | 10:58 |
| xrfang | mnaines: Try it before study it mode.... :) | 10:58 |
| ActionParsnip | belcher: i dont use ntfs and havent for many moons | 10:58 |
| mnaines | xrfang: In that case, good luck and good hunting. There are plenty of decent programs out there. You just have to find the one that meets your demands | 10:59 |
| ActionParsnip | belcher: i have however advised many users in here how to mount windows partitions with ntfs-3g in fstab | 10:59 |
| belcher | ActionParsnip, that is evident. You should refrain from giving advice on here if you don't know what you are talking about | 10:59 |
| ActionParsnip | belcher: and it amazingly worked..shock | 10:59 |
| xrfang | yes | 10:59 |
| ActionParsnip | belcher: but ive had successes with it so i call it the same | 10:59 |
| ssapphiree | someone help me please... I use smplayer and I'm trying to watch a movie with an external audio track (.ac3 file). smplayer successfully plays both separately, but when I'm adding the .ac3 file as an external audio track, smplayer stops doing anything! it doesn't play video or plays video without the sound at all. why could that happen? | 11:00 |
| parapan | Hi there fellows anyone familiar with USB modem configuration files ???? I had an USB modem which is not working anymore I installed/reinstalled the modem but with no result !!!! | 11:00 |
| belcher | ActionParsnip, stabbing blindly in the dark, having it work, and proclaiming success is different from knowing what you are doing. Again, I suggest you only give advice on topics you are familiar with through experience. Your advice has probably caused more problems than it has solved. | 11:01 |
| * fire_fox re pairnei kaneis sas kreatini? | 11:01 | |
| belcher | ActionParsnip, I would also suggest you actually read people's questions | 11:01 |
| axlr | need help how to register my e-mail adress? | 11:02 |

| ActionParsnip | belcher: and it will work | 11:03 |
| axlr | yes | 11:03 |

| Drain_Bamaged | Hi can some one help me ?... I have installed Cairo -Dock and I placed it on the left of my screen and now its gone .. I have Googled it with no success ... I need to retrieve it please | 11:03 |
| ActionParsnip | belcher: we're all learning day by day | 11:03 |
| emil_ | -0 | 11:03 |
| axlr | k but it says that e-mail adress is invalid! | 11:03 |
| InDuS | belcher: enough | 11:04 |
| belcher | ActionParsnip, you gave an incorrect one. You also gave unneeded "advice" such as having to create a mount point (which I stated I had already done) and provided the humorous advice to use gedit to edit the /etc/fstab. Again, do not give advice where you are not 100% sure of what you are saying | 11:04 |
| jatt | what happens if you run cairo-dock from a terminal? | 11:04 |
| javierito | join ubuntu-es | 11:04 |
| ActionParsnip | belcher: i assume nothing in here due to the vast variation in abilities | 11:04 |
| mnaines | axlr: it does that on certain email addresses...Unless you go through Yahoo or MSN Hotmail, you might not be able to register | 11:04 |
| belcher | One needs to have ntfs-3g installed, however the fstab entry DOES NOT have to be "ntfs-3g" to enable rw mounting. Categorically so. | 11:05 |
| ActionParsnip | belcher: i am and that fstab line will work, ive given it to countless users who have come back and said "thanks it worked" | 11:05 |
| axlr | i have gmail | 11:05 |
| myself | hey if a computer is suspended in ubuntu will torrents still keep downloading? | 11:05 |
| Drain_Bamaged | jatt . I'm kinda a newbe on the terminal . any instructions you can give me using it ? | 11:05 |
| InDuS | its correct btw, fstab entry need not have ntfs-3g written in it | 11:05 |
| ActionParsnip | belcher: but if you use ntfs-3g as the fs type will it NOT work? | 11:05 |
| lstarnes | myself: I don't think so | 11:06 |
| mnaines | myself: Most likely not, because "suspend" is a low-power state, which shuts down the LAN ports to conserve power | 11:06 |
| myself | i see | 11:06 |
| myself | okay cool thanks. | 11:06 |
| belcher | ActionParsnip, it may, but it is not the recommended way to do it. You should stick with the current methods | 11:06 |
| dehqan | good day everybody ,while removing libxml2 ,many other packages have been removed ,how can find names of those packages that have been removed with libxml2 ? | 11:06 |
| belcher | InDuS, I know it's correct. I wish ActionParsnip would understand so that his future advice will reflect this | 11:06 |
| jatt | just go to Applications->Accessories->Terminal, type cairo-dock and then the return key | 11:07 |
| ActionParsnip | belcher: as long as the mount is ok and correct access is achieved then its fine | 11:07 |
| InDuS | belcher: well,there isnt proper documentation for it, even ubuntu docs list the ntfs-3g still | 11:07 |
| Drain_Bamaged | jatt . I'll do it now | 11:07 |
| belcher | ActionParsnip, no, it is not. Again, the RECOMMENDED way from the creators of ntfs-3g is to use "ntfs" as the filesystem type. If you feel you know better than them, please contact them and tell them so. Thank you. | 11:07 |
| Mech0z | Is Ubuntu a bad choise for Raid5 and MDADM (Think thats the right term) or should I get another linux distro for storage server purposes | 11:08 |
| belcher | It is not good enough that "something works". | 11:08 |
| ActionParsnip | belcher: will do | 11:08 |
| belcher | ActionParsnip, thank you | 11:08 |
| ActionParsnip | belcher: quite welcome | 11:08 |
| InDuS | in fact, even fat32 mount is incorrect for a lot of guides | 11:08 |
| mnaines | Mech0z: Is it hardware RAID (RAID support provided by the motherboard)? | 11:08 |
| Mech0z | Software raid | 11:08 |
| Mech0z | oh | 11:09 |
| belcher | InDuS, yes. Most of it is outdated, and that is not helped by people like ActionParsnip who keep providing out of date information "because it works" | 11:09 |
| Mech0z | I will run with raid controllers, but I will use softwareraid | 11:09 |
| InDuS | belcher: i pm you | 11:09 |
| mnaines | Mech0z: You're better off using the RAID controllers on the motherboard | 11:09 |
| belcher | A novice googling advice and providing it to other novices is dangerous | 11:09 |

| Mech0z | its not a server board | 11:12 |
| Mech0z | (at all) | 11:12 |
| mnaines | dbu_: You can use the default Password and Encryption Keys program in Ubuntu for encrypting passwords | 11:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Viki27: open office may have a pdf printer, or if you look along the top bar yuo will see a pdf button that you can hit and save the pdf | 11:13 |
| dbu_ | mnaines: explain? | 11:13 |
| Mech0z | mnaines it supports raid5, but I dont have a slot for my systemdisc then | 11:13 |
| dbu_ | mnaines: I want this to be run from a script without any outside input... | 11:13 |
| mnaines | Mech0z: You don't need six disks for a RAID 5... | 11:14 |
| grawity | dbu_: 'useradd' accepts password hashes, which could be made with 'mkpasswd' | 11:14 |
| Mech0z | mnaines no but I want at least 6 disc | 11:14 |
| dbu_ | grawity: thanks! | 11:14 |
| mnaines | dbu_: Try #python...They may be better help than us | 11:14 |
| Mech0z | I was planning on going from 3 to 7 discs + the systemdisc | 11:14 |
| mnaines | Mech0z: What do you need 6 disks for? | 11:14 |
| Mech0z | does that matter ? | 11:14 |
| grawity | dbu_: mkpasswd -h sha256 "mypassword" | 11:14 |
| dbu_ | grawity: awesome! | 11:15 |
| dbu_ | thanks a million | 11:15 |
| Dextorion | g'day | 11:15 |
| mnaines | Mech0z: Yes, because you could choose three or four terabyte drives over 6 smaller drives | 11:15 |

| ActionParsnip | VuZe: the live cd has a working x server, you can read the /etc/X11/xorg.conf and copy it to your internal partitions to make yours work | 11:20 |
| VuZe | right | 11:20 |
| VuZe | ill try that then | 11:20 |
| VuZe | ActionParsnip: ill see if that works | 11:20 |
| Mech0z | mnaines cant afford that, also in denmark you do at least +20% in price compared to newegg | 11:20 |
| Mech0z | it is sweet though | 11:21 |
| mnaines | Mech0z: It still gives you an idea of what to look for from companies in Denmark | 11:21 |
| VuZe | ActionParsnip: its the same as the default one | 11:21 |
| Mech0z | well yes but I know what I "should" get but its like 3x what I would like to spend | 11:21 |
| VuZe | ActionParsnip: and i know that doesnt work | 11:21 |

| Mech0z | true, but software raid should still make it less expensive, your one of the only one suggesting hardware raid when running linux distro | 11:22 |
| VuZe | ActionParsnip: what would you say to a reboot fixing it? because i tried to install ati drivers the first time i booted into linux, that might have broken something | 11:22 |
| mnaines | Mech0z: Because I know most operating systems do not have very good support for software raid and I know software raid isn't as fast or as reliable as hardware raid | 11:22 |
| Mech0z | speed dont matter, only reliability | 11:23 |
| VuZe | ActionParsnip: not reboot, reinstall i mean | 11:23 |
| ActionParsnip | VuZe: thats an option too | 11:23 |
| mnaines | Mech0z: Then you want hardware raid and a raid 5 setup...Software raid has to be reloaded every time you reboot | 11:23 |

| Mech0z | mnaines my computer almost never reboots so that wouldnt be an issue | 11:24 |
| ActionParsnip | vuzid do that then | 11:24 |
| mnaines | Mech0z: You have to take into account natural disasters and power outages when determining reliability of hardware | 11:25 |
| Mech0z | well with raid5 it should be rather safe, not super but ok | 11:25 |
| mnaines | Mech0z: Yes, but as I said, software RAID isn't as reliable | 11:25 |
| InDuS | i have a strange question, when i tilt my system my cdrom starts working or viceversa, i have checked all cables | 11:26 |
| indra_00769 | tes | 11:26 |
| InDuS | also,i have to say, my system was transported by road without any thermocol padding for 800 km | 11:26 |
| InDuS | so :) | 11:27 |
| InDuS | and when the cdrom wont work, HDD light stays on all th time | 11:27 |
| ActionParsnip | InDuS: does it play audio cds without a tilt? | 11:27 |
| InDuS | ActionParsnip: well, it does when the light is on,otherwise its like it has no power going to it, and HDD light stays on all tht time in that case | 11:28 |
| InDuS | something short on my mobo i think | 11:28 |
| InDuS | iam actually lucky only cabinet was bent, system works ok,but have this tilt to work or tilt back | 11:29 |
| mnaines | InDuS: Did they report the lack of padding to you when it was delivered? | 11:29 |
| ActionParsnip | InDuS: i'd try an fsck if the hdd light is going crazy | 11:29 |
| Mech0z | mnaines think I am getting this http://www.edbpriser.dk/Product/Details.aspx?pid=598941 | 11:29 |
| Mech0z | very cheap and LSI have good records | 11:29 |
| InDuS | ActionParsnip: well,fsck does fail sometimes | 11:29 |
| _TJ | got a question. | 11:29 |
| InDuS | ActionParsnip: whats the command to fsck on boot? | 11:29 |
| _TJ | I orig installed ubuntu | 11:29 |
| ActionParsnip | !fsck | 11:29 |
| ubottu | fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 11:29 |
| _TJ | then did sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 11:30 |
| _TJ | after it all installed | 11:30 |
| InDuS | mnaines: ya my friend delivered it to me ,its my old system,fool shipped it without any padding :) | 11:30 |
| * fire_fox kanei kanenas radio na akousoume re sis? | 11:30 | |
| _TJ | i did sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop | 11:30 |
| mnaines | Good call, Mech0z...That should do nicely...8 ports is more than enough | 11:30 |
| _TJ | then i tried to do apt-get autoremove | 11:30 |
| _TJ | to remove the rest of ubuntu pkgs but it wont work | 11:30 |
| _TJ | any ideas | 11:30 |
| InDuS | ActionParsnip: ok shudown -F hmm ill do it | 11:30 |
| InDuS | ActionParsnip: but i do think HDD is dying | 11:31 |
| _TJ | might got it | 11:31 |
| _TJ | nvm | 11:31 |
| InDuS | what other symptoms of HDD dying should i careful? | 11:31 |
| mnaines | InDuS: Hard drives don't like telling you they are dying...They'll just quit | 11:31 |
| ActionParsnip | InDuS: click of death | 11:32 |
| _TJ | nope didnt work... | 11:32 |
| _TJ | any ideas how to remove the gde pkgs | 11:32 |
| _TJ | ? | 11:32 |
| Mech0z | btw mnaines do you know why it on http://www.lsi.com/obsolete/megaraid_sas_8308elp.html says it supports 16 drives when it only have 2 8087 plugs? | 11:32 |
| _TJ | would it be apt-get remove gnome | 11:32 |
| _TJ | ? | 11:33 |
| ActionParsnip | InDuS: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Faq8tetLRM | 11:33 |
| mnaines | Because that is a Serial Attached SCSI controller, not a SATA controller | 11:33 |
| grawity | _TJ: "gde"? do you mean KDE or GNOME? | 11:33 |
| _TJ | Gnome | 11:33 |
| mnaines | Mech0z: You want one that supports Serial ATA, not SCSI | 11:33 |
| erUSUL | Mech0z: supports port multipliers ? | 11:33 |
| Mech0z | With support for both SAS and SATA II drives, the eight-port MegaRAID SAS 8308ELP provides greater deployment flexibility with support for up to 16 devices using SAS expanders. | 11:33 |
| gst | recording is not working | 11:33 |
| Mech0z | I never found out what a SAS Expander was | 11:33 |
| _TJ | grawity: gnome | 11:33 |
| gst | any suggestions? | 11:33 |
| Mech0z | but it do support sata drives | 11:34 |
| mnaines | Mech0z: You need one that's a dedicated SATA card, not SAS | 11:34 |
| Mech0z | why? | 11:34 |
| mnaines | Mech0z: It will specifically tell you how many SATA ports are on it...Make sure it says "8 Serial ATA II ports" | 11:34 |
| Mech0z | well why wouldnt this work? | 11:35 |
| mnaines | Mech0z: Because it can only support two Serial ATA drives | 11:35 |
| Mech0z | dont you just use one of those cables that split into 4 cables? | 11:35 |
| blip- | i've set my xorg.conf to work my DVI 22" LCD... but the monitor says signal is out of range... I'm using the correct resolution. any ideas ? http://pastey.net/123317 thanks | 11:35 |
| mnaines | Mech0z: You cannot do that to Serial ATA | 11:35 |
| InDuS | ya click click i havent heard,but it keeps doing grr grr grr every 5 sec | 11:35 |
| InDuS | but it doesnt sound strange | 11:36 |
| mnaines | Mech0z: With Serial ATA, it is one drive per port...Nothing you can do to change that | 11:36 |
| hienvh | #ubuntu-no | 11:36 |
| adaptr | Mech0z: if you have a SAS?SATA controller, yes, you attach SATA drives with splitter cables, 4 channels to a cable | 11:37 |
| adaptr | mnaines: please stop spouting nosense | 11:37 |
| erUSUL | Mech0z: http://www.pc-pitstop.com/sas_expanders/ | 11:37 |

| mnaines | blip-: It appears as if you did not set the refresh rate | 11:50 |
| blip- | mnaines: but it's a dvi connection on an LCD, LCD's don't have refresh rates | 11:50 |
| mnaines | blip-: You still need to set it manually for the monitor to be recognised | 11:50 |
| blip- | mnaines: ah ok. I'll give it a try now. thanks | 11:51 |
| mnaines | blip-: Just a word of advice - The computer does NOT know what kind of cable you use to attach hardware. All it knows is what the hardware is and what it is supposed to do. Put simply, the computer cannot tell the difference between a VGA or a DVI connection, so you still have to configure the monitor manually like you would if it was hooked up via VGA | 11:52 |

| Firefishe | Hello everyone. I am running 9.04 on an HP netbook, and am having some problems with the lack of screen real-estate to display some configuration menus, like Appearance. The bottom of the window--with the Okay button--is below the bottom of the screen, so I can't really save any new changes. Is there a workaround for this? | 13:10 |
| g0wda | bjorkintosh I see... Can you explain a bit? | 13:11 |
| bjorkintosh | who made the printer? | 13:11 |
| g0wda | TVS | 13:12 |
| g0wda | TVS E india | 13:12 |
| toehio | I updated my ubuntu 9.04, and it did something to my graphics. Why does this happen? | 13:13 |
| C-S-B | Firefishe: try hold alt and dragging the window up off the screen | 13:14 |
| C-S-B | :) | 13:14 |
| arand | Firefishe: not directly which I know of, temporarily you can use alt-dragging to move the windows to show the buttons, and for a more lasting solution you could install ubuntu netbook remix, whoose interface is adapded to smaller screens... | 13:14 |
| C-S-B | arand: the alt solution is the same on UNR | 13:15 |
| Firefishe | C-S-B: How do I use the alt feature? | 13:15 |
| Firefishe | This netbook isn't mine, I installed ubuntu on it for a friend. It's her first time with linux, and I don't want her having to search irc for weird fixes like this. | 13:15 |
| C-S-B | Firefishe: hold the alt key then click and drag the window | 13:16 |
| arvind_khadri | !bitlbee | 13:16 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about bitlbee | 13:16 |
| arand | C-S-B: yea, but it's likely not to be necessary there, right? | 13:16 |
| arvind_khadri | hi anyone here uses bitlbee? | 13:16 |
| C-S-B | arand: yes it is, i used it. maximas will maximise your windows but theres no real way around some software | 13:16 |
| kanshisha | lo all | 13:17 |
| USSJoin | Firefishe: Maybe (and I hate to say this) Jolicloud would be better? | 13:17 |
| USSJoin | Since it's specifically designed for netbook real estate.... | 13:17 |
| Firefishe | C-S-B: It appears the ALT-drag function won't work. The screen I'm in is the Login Manager dialog. The window is too long in the vertical, and the top of the screen is completely to the top panel | 13:18 |
| richardcavell | how do I tell which package a program belongs to? | 13:18 |
| Firefishe | USSJoin: Jolicloud...is that a distro? | 13:18 |
| C-S-B | USSJoin: UNR and jollicloud are basically both as good as each other, the screen is pretty small, you'll have issues what ever | 13:18 |
| danbhfive | richardcavell: dpkg -S | 13:18 |
| USSJoin | Firefishe: Yes. <http://www.jolicloud.com/> | 13:18 |
| C-S-B | Firefishe: jollicloud is ubuntu netbook remix but the apps are mostly cloud based | 13:18 |
| USSJoin | C-S-B: This may be true. I just know they've spent a *lot* of time on this. | 13:19 |
| USSJoin | (I just got into the Joli beta, but haven't installed it yet.) | 13:19 |
| Firefishe | C-S-B: Well, I don't have time for a complete re-install, especially of a distro I've never worked with before. What I need is a compact--or small theme--for what I've got currently. | 13:19 |
| richardcavell | danbhfive: is there a way to do that for filenames? | 13:19 |
| USSJoin | Firefishe: Well, it's Ubuntu-based. So you should be good. And a lot of its updates *are* essentially big themes. (Look at the screenshots.) | 13:20 |
| USSJoin | Anyway, just a thought. | 13:20 |
| kripso | hi i have some problems solving the flash plugin for firefox in ubuntu 9.04 (32 bits) | 13:20 |
| danbhfive | richardcavell: I don't get it, that command is for filenames | 13:20 |
| arand | kripso: do you have flashplugin-installer installed and all other flash packages removed? | 13:21 |
| C-S-B | Firefishe: ubuntu netbook remix and ubuntu are fine for the netbook, some programs will be an issue with the small screen. if you are trying the alt drag trick you'll need to turn off the dsktop effects iirc. Some programs are just going to cause troulble with such a small screen. | 13:21 |
| richardcavell | danbhfive: doesn't work | 13:21 |
| DanielHughes | #pitivi | 13:21 |
| C-S-B | kripso: whats the prob? | 13:21 |
| kripso | C-S-B: it disconnects when trying to watch *tube flash videos | 13:22 |
| kripso | C-S-B: thats a reported error/bug | 13:23 |
| C-S-B | kripso: what disconnects? the network connection? | 13:23 |
| kripso | C-S-B: no it want show the video | 13:23 |
| C-S-B | what plugin did you get and where from? | 13:23 |
| kripso | C-S-B: and it dont work in fullscreen propper | 13:24 |
| danbhfive | richardcavell: well, I dunno. It usually works for me... | 13:24 |
| arand | kripso: reported bug? in what way? | 13:24 |
| danbhfive | richardcavell: are you sure the file is in a package? | 13:25 |
| kripso | C-S-B: i have the flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound atm tried every 3 | 13:25 |
| kripso | aviable | 13:25 |
| kripso | using the gnome Synaptic Package Manager | 13:25 |
| richardcavell | danbhfive: I'll paste bin an example | 13:25 |
| arand | kripso: usually flashplugin-installer (and all else removed) is normally the recommended way. | 13:26 |
| richardcavell | danbhfive: http://pastebin.com/d8ae05d2 | 13:26 |
| danbhfive | richardcavell: so, that means hello is in the package hello: apt-cache show hello | 13:27 |
| kripso | arand: do i have to remove the SWF decoders to? | 13:27 |
| Firefishe | USSJoin, C-S-B: I just scrolled up--had to tend to Wifey :-)--and read what you stated. | 13:28 |
| adrenalink | hello to verybody | 13:28 |
| gst | hello... | 13:28 |
| adrenalink | i've a question about ubuntu kernel update | 13:28 |
| Firefishe | I've looked at the Jolicloud site, and it looks intriguing...although I don't understand why they just don't make it another desktop and not an entire distro. | 13:28 |
| richardcavell | danbhfive: okay I got it now thanks | 13:28 |
| USSJoin | Firefishe: I think it's a bunch of tightly-coupled drivers and such, too. | 13:29 |
| USSJoin | (Not really sure. Haven't played with it yet.) | 13:29 |
| adrenalink | why do I find more kernel choices when i update my kernel??? | 13:29 |
| bob | rc.freenode>.net | 13:30 |
| arand | kripso: I think that might be worth a try, if you do a search for flash in synaptic, flashplugin-installer should be the _only_ installed package | 13:30 |
| C-S-B | adrenalink: what do you mean? | 13:30 |
| Firefishe | USSJoin: I see. It *does* look interestig. | 13:30 |
| cornjuliox | is it ok to uninstall pulseaudio? | 13:30 |
| cornjuliox | it wont play nicely with my FF | 13:30 |
| adrenalink | example i've kernel 28.11 | 13:31 |
| cornjuliox | i can't play mp3s with FF open to youtube, and I'm not interested in having to download a package just to fix it; if I can get rid of PulseAudio then i'd rather do that. | 13:31 |
| Firefishe | cornjuliox: Have you tried using Volume Control to move the audio stream to whatever it is you're using/ | 13:31 |
| Firefishe | ? | 13:31 |
| adrenalink | if now I update it to 28.15 | 13:31 |
| cornjuliox | Firefishe: what exactly do you mean by that? | 13:31 |
| Soyo | cd /etc | 13:31 |
| adrenalink | i find two choice inthe bootloader | 13:31 |
| Soyo | hahah | 13:31 |
| Soyo | sorry | 13:31 |
| grawity | adrenalink: When you install a new kernel, the old one is not removed. | 13:31 |
| Firefishe | cornjuliox: Are you not able to play mp3's in firefox (I'm assuming you mean listening to them on a web site), are you not hearing sound in your speakers or headphones? | 13:32 |
| grawity | adrenalink: Old kernels are left in case the new one doesn't work | 13:32 |
| cornjuliox | Firefishe, no i mean I can't play mp3s that are stored locally on my hard drive, when I have firefox open to a youtube video | 13:32 |
| grawity | adrenalink: If the new kernel works fine, the old ones can be uninstalled. | 13:32 |
| cornjuliox | Firefishe, i've got to do one or the other or else sound won't work | 13:32 |
| C-S-B | arand: im using adobe-flashplugin works fine, only one that actually did. | 13:32 |
| cornjuliox | I just want to know if I can get rid of pulseaudio safely without breaking ubuntu | 13:33 |
| Firefishe | cornjuliox: Essentially, I also have that problem, although I don't ever find I have to have both operating at once. | 13:33 |
| cornjuliox | i read the help page, it looks like all its good for is streaming sound over a network (or something..) | 13:33 |
| Xubuntnoob | Hi, i was working on this problem last night, but i ran out of time before we found a solution. I cannot view the video on this page, and am having trouble figuring out why. http://thenextweb.com/2009/08/20/amazing-beautiful-realistic-piece-computer-art/?awesm=tnw.to_nct FIREFOX PLUGINS = flashplugin-nonfree/flashplugin-installer are both v10.0.32.18 vlc multimedia (compatible totem 2.26.1) windows media plugin 10, quic | 13:33 |
| adrenalink | how much space does the old version hold?? | 13:33 |
| C-S-B | cornjuliox: pulse will play mp3s and youtube at the same time. | 13:34 |
| C-S-B | cornjuliox: its oss that will cause troule with that | 13:34 |
| arand | C-S-B: adobe-* ? what kind of package/ubuntu version is that? | 13:34 |
| kripso | arand: did what you said removed the flashplugin i had before installed the new one (closed firefox before i installed) same problem: heres a screen http://jump.fm/SUVYH | 13:34 |
| Firefishe | cornjuliox: pulse audio is also good for re-routing sound streams from one feed to another. I use USB headphones, and I'm always having to re-route the sound. It works better in kde4.3 with phonon, but in gnome I use pulse audio's volume control dialog to move an active stream to the headphones. | 13:34 |
| Ozzah | Hey guys... I can't seem to figure out how to make my microphone record, but not play through. (as in, it should record in software, but if I talk into the mic I don't necessarily want to hear myself in real time). How do I turn that off? I can't seem to figure it out. | 13:35 |
| danbhfive | Xubuntnoob: it looks like it uses flash | 13:35 |
| C-S-B | arand: good point, im on 9.04, pretty sure i got it from symantic | 13:35 |
| mnaines | Ozzah, check the Microphone Boost | 13:35 |
| cornjuliox | right now I've gone into sound and set everything to use ALSA | 13:35 |
| Xubuntnoob | danbhfive: which i have installed | 13:35 |
| Firefishe | Ozzah: | 13:35 |
| Ozzah | mnaines: where is that? | 13:35 |
| C-S-B | arand: adobe-flashplugin - Adobe Flash Player plugin version 10 | 13:35 |
| Firefishe | Ozzah: That can be tricky. Essentially, you're looking for a volume slider on the Playback side, not the recording sid.e | 13:36 |
| Firefishe | side | 13:36 |
| cjspider | goto options on bottom right in firefox and "allow all on this page" will let you view video on youtube | 13:36 |
| arand | C-S-B: THat must be some non-standard package, it's not in the standard repos | 13:36 |
| Ozzah | Firefishe: Yes, that is how it work in windows, but if I mute the playback side, then it won't record any more. They seem to be connected, even though logically they should be seperate | 13:36 |
| arand | kripso: and you are neither able to view youtube vids? | 13:37 |
| cornjuliox | bottom line, i can't play mp3s on the hard drive while FF is open to youtube (buffering a video, say), and I'm led to believe that Pulseaudio is my issue. | 13:37 |
| kripso | arand: youtube works but not every simular hosts for videos playing in flash | 13:38 |
| kripso | maybe i need an older flash plugin so maybe i should install it without apt resporties? | 13:38 |
| Soyo | My server stops serving everything after about 45 minutes from when I walk away from it. I imagine this must be a power-management issue. PM-utils is not set to hibernate ever, so I guess it must be APM or ACPI but I don't know how figure that out. | 13:38 |
| cornjuliox | can it be removed? | 13:38 |

| jiohdi | I have a partition in ext3, called data, but it does not always show up in the file system... where do I find it? under what folder? | 13:40 |
| arand | kripso: I'm not sure, the plugin for linux does always suffer a bit it seem, so the only thing to do is whine at adobe, really. You could try just downloading the vid using flashgot or similar, and then watch it from disk, if that's a solution. | 13:40 |
| kripso | arand: yeah i will need to find a solution | 13:41 |
| danbhfive | jiohdi: try mount | 13:42 |
| C-S-B | jiohdi: you can then add it to fstab | 13:42 |

| grawity | jiohdi: 'mount' is a command. | 13:42 |
| blip- | bravo Charlie | 13:43 |
| danbhfive | jiohdi: yeah, when you run mount, it will tell you about all your mount points | 13:43 |
| C-S-B | jiohdi: if it's mounted in ubuntu, it will be in /media, but you can check with cat /etc/mtab | 13:43 |

| nnull | how can i make a partition invisible to windows? | 13:50 |
| Firefishe | C-S-B: Regarding my previous issue: I now understand the ALT-grab sequence. The thing is, I can't drag the Login window up above the top panel. | 13:50 |
| InDuS | nnull: which partition | 13:50 |
| Firefishe | C-S-B: It won't budge. | 13:50 |

| maszlo | psygonx: not really locked down, but couldn't get my touchscreen working | 13:54 |
| JPSman | InDuS: somewhat | 13:54 |
| psygonx | i try it too at the moment ;) | 13:54 |
| JPSman | InDuS: gimme a sec to look it up | 13:54 |

| Kalisto_ | i need a little help with installing ubuntu on an existing fakeraid system with windows already installed | 13:55 |

| Kalisto_ | ubiquity tells me no operating systems installed which is weird | 13:56 |
| Firefishe | C-S-B: That did the trick. What's keeping the alt-grab trick form working with effects on, though? Compiz limitation? | 13:56 |
| JPSman | aethelrick: not much, just want to take clips out and put them with other stuff. Thank you for responding :O) | 13:56 |

| === hey` is now known as grumete | ||
| Firefishe | C-S-B: Thanks for your help. | 14:02 |

I am trying to find where those settings are in a file but power-management files and folders are spread out throughout the computer and I am really confused | 14:02 |
| C-S-B | Firefishe: its a limitation of the screensize, some apps are poorly coded | 14:02 |
| Mike_lifeguard | Halitech: how would you restart seeding after moving the files? | 14:03 |
| Gallez | what file contains global aliases like "inst" instead of "sudo apt-get install"? | 14:03 |
| timeout | ukev: arand: ok | 14:03 |
| Halitech | Mike_lifeguard, do you still have the torrent file? | 14:03 |
| Firefishe | C-S-B: I see. Then I guess I'll have to be the one to re-write those portions of code. ;-) | 14:03 |
| grawity | Gallez: I recommend putting aliases to ~/.bashrc - there isn't any need for them to be global. | 14:04 |
| C-S-B | Firefishe: please do | 14:04 |
| Mike_lifeguard | Halitech: I assume so, I haven't deleted them... but I'm not sure where they are now that I think of it | 14:04 |
| * Mike_lifeguard looks around... | 14:04 | |
| GPL | Mike_lifeguard: just click that torrent file, you downloaded, and point to the new location to download, it ll automatically check if the files are already there, and the download bar will reload to 100% and will start re-seeding | 14:04 |

| === jessica_lilly is now known as xray7224 | ||
| genii | Viks: Since ISA is very old now the plug and play system doesn't bother much with it. You can add the name of the module the card would use to /etc/modules file however. | 15:14 |

| vpilo | hello | 15:15 |
| Thom1 | Gnea, thanks | 15:15 |
| ani1 | Thanks again for the chroot tips - got it working with networking now =) | 15:15 |
| thiebaude | simran, gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 15:15 |
| vpilo | I'm having a problem with the mobile network connection, the sim pin entry dialog accepts 4 digits at most, but the pin can be way longer than that! | 15:16 |
| genii | Viks: First you should find what module the card should be using ... google is usually not bad for this. Then you open the /etc/modules file with a text editor in admin mode so you can edit it. then you add the module name there on a line of its own, save the file. Next reboot it loads the driver. | 15:16 |
| freakynl | hi, i had setup ubuntu with 1 disk raid-1 partitions (mdadm). today i added a second disk (with mdadm --grow and --add and modified /etc/mdadm.conf to read it has 2 instead of 1 device) rebooted and it doesn't come up anymore. if i boot in recovery mode last thing i see is /dev/mdX (X is 0-2) stopped for all md devices this line appears twice. any ideas? kernel seems to autodetect them just fine no clue why they're stopped | 15:17 |
| genii | Viks: You can load from commandline a driver with method: sudo modprobe modulename | 15:17 |
| keriati | hi, just installed ubuntu 9.04, howevery my intel pro wireless 3945 card won't work, always says, that device is not ready, is there some known solution? :O (with kubuntu 9.04 it just worked fine) | 15:17 |
| genii | Work requires me 3-5 minutes so I may seem unresponsive here. | 15:17 |
| bazhang | dehqan, do you have the sources.list for us to see? | 15:17 |
| Viks | yeah I tried modprobe, commands run well but not able to installed card. I am new to linux so I am sure I am not doing it right. I just wanted to get directions. what should I look into, I think as u suggested I should look modules. | 15:18 |
| Ktron | I have remote (SSH) access to a ubuntu desktop machine, I restarted it and therefore logged myself out of my desktop session, is there a way to get back to log into GDM remotely? I think there must be a way using VNC or similar... | 15:19 |
| ani1 | Another question I have -- Using wireless is there any conf file I can copy over from the live cd to my broken system for wireless to keep settings (e.g. essid, key etc)...

| genii | Viks: Because the hardware autodetect system cannot automatically determine what driver to use, you must research the card to find what the driver name is. Then you may also need to know what irq and address it uses so that you can specify this when you load the driver. | 15:27 |
| ani1 | deadleaf, you can change the file permissions to require root pw | 15:28 |

| genii | Viks: I have an old ISA card for instance that requires: cs4232 io=0x330,irq=7 as the line in /etc/modules | 15:29 |
| Ktron | dehqan, nvm | 15:29 |
| Ktron | dehqan, apt-get install [a-z]* | 15:29 |
| arand | dehqan: What you could do is make sure only the repo youre installing from is enabled (edit sources.list) and then do "apt-cache pkgnames | xargs sudo apt-get install" I guess...? | 15:29 |
| Ktron | dehqan, that should work | 15:29 |
| RagnarokAngel | when I boot up pavucontrol it's not recognizing that I have any devices, despite the fact that it is playing music through my speakers and/or headphones. | 15:29 |
| Viks | genni, I have all those things but I do not know the process to use irq and io address. I know the name of the card with recommended io and irq setting but when I use given installation process everything goes smothly but I can NOT use it. is there any way to find out if my card is recognized by PC | 15:30 |
| dehqan | This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or | 15:31 |

| Ktron | armence, yeah, I believe ins in the menu under "Sessions", you can set programs to autostart | 15:33 |
| simran | I installed ubuntu on my sony vaio laptop, i am running it of ac, and the brightness is stuck on full and cannot be adjusted by the applet, the power management doesnt show no brightness adjustment settings | 15:33 |

| arand | armence: startup applications in system>preferences menu | 15:33 |

| Bearfoot | simran, if you are using Nvidia drivers, try nvidia-settings | 15:34 |
| IdleOne | Gnea: I rebooted twice and no go | 15:34 |
| IdleOne | DaZ-: ls -la /dev/disk/by-uuid/ does not list it | 15:34 |
| genii | Viks: Please put my name in a message which you wish me to see. I am in many channels here. To answer.. since the autodetect system doesn see the ISA stuff as something it knows about it won't appear in device manager, etc. But references to ALL your hardware will show in the result of: dmesg or in result of: sudo lshw | 15:34 |
| Gnea | IdleOne: o.O pastebin your /etc/fstab? | 15:34 |
| simran | Bearfoot: yes, i am...i dont think i saw it in the nvidia settings | 15:35 |

| Ktron | tales_2010, look up the 'at' command and 'wget' command | 15:36 |

| ani1 | TonyTheTiger, using compiz - you can install ccsm to modify those settings | 15:37 |
| simran | Bearfoot: that doesnt adjust the brightness of the screen but the desktop | 15:37 |

| Arkns | grawity: thanks. but when I test in this site, doesn't work... http://www.codehouse.com/webmaster_tools/regex/ | 15:41 |
| mazda01 | kri, that's what I use anyway. there's even a cool nautilus script that allows you to upload a photo from the context menu of nautilus | 15:42 |
| cornet | mazda01: dropbox is even easier than that ;) | 15:42 |
| cornet | mazda01: copy file to ~/Dropbox/Public/ right click and select "copy public link" | 15:43 |

| mazda01 | cornet, where can I read about dropbox? | 15:43 |

| kri | seems bloated | 15:44 |
| mazda01 | thanks | 15:44 |
| Gnea | IdleOne: right, 2 is your extended partition, making 5 and 6 logical | 15:45 |
| kri | cornet: dropbox do you get free online space so to say and what about security? can i save documents etc there that are important? | 15:45 |
| === maco_ is now known as MsMaco | ||
| rakudave | kri: not in the slightest. Ubuntu One is up to 120x slower | 15:45 |

| IdleOne | Gnea: ok so now I would like 6 to be mounted at boot. so how do I do that? | 15:46 |
| cornet | kri: if you're that concerned about security then use gpg or truecrypt to encrypt them | 15:46 |
| resno | wheres he best place to get theme packages? | 15:46 |
| Gnea | IdleOne: can you get the uuid for 6? | 15:46 |
| simran | guys if i delete my recovery partition using gparted, would grub automatically deleted it from boot selection | 15:46 |
| cornet | kri: that's going to be the same for any online storage thou | 15:46 |
| DaZ- | dropbox is great but doesn't have any kde integration :c | 15:46 |
| cornet | DaZ-: :( | 15:46 |
| Gnea | simran: probably not | 15:46 |
| edbian | simran: It would if you run "update-grub" which would rescan the drives for all kernels (among other things) | 15:47 |
| IdleOne | Gnea: blkid does not show me the UUID for sda6 | 15:47 |
| simran | kool, reason im deleting it is because i cannot find any solution to make ubuntu NOT find this damn partition | 15:47 |
| edbian | IdleOne: "sudo vol_id -u /dev/<yourHDD>" | 15:47 |
| kri | i will look into dropbox good for docuemnts, work applyments etc | 15:48 |
| edbian | simran: You can simply edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and remove that boot option | 15:48 |
| kri | but i have my googlemail for that cind of stuff | 15:48 |
| cornet | kri: oh dropbox also versions your files :) | 15:48 |
| kri | do anyone know how to change this boarder colour? | 15:48 |

| kri | gnome. :/ | 15:49 |
| simran | edbian: but that wnt stop it loading into ubuntu...in the file explorer | 15:49 |

| cornet | kri: or find a different one | 15:49 |
| IdleOne | edbian: sudo vol_id -u /dev/sda ?? | 15:49 |
| Halitech | simran, is there anything in gconf editor that might allow you to hide it? | 15:49 |
| Gnea | IdleOne: not sure what's wrong. sudo blkid <-- that should list everything | 15:49 |
| edbian | simran: that's /etc/fstab. Do you have any need for this "recovery" partition? Or is it windows recover | 15:49 |
| kri | maybe a different window manger sudes my needs | 15:49 |
| edbian | IdleOne: "sudo vol_id -u /dev/sda<someNumber>" | 15:49 |
| simran | Halitech: the partition doesnt show in fstab, | 15:49 |
| kri | is there any window manager between 'windowmaker' and 'gnome'? | 15:50 |
| edbian | simran: You can make an entry for it that basically says "ignore this partition" | 15:50 |
| grawity | kri: There are lots. | 15:50 |
| simran | edbian how? | 15:50 |
| edbian | kri: "between" ?? | 15:50 |
| IdleOne | Gnea: sudo blkid doesnt list it | 15:50 |
| cornet | kri: fluxbox, openbox, pekwm | 15:50 |
| IdleOne | edbian: unknown or non-unique volume type | 15:50 |
| grawity | kri: GNOME isn't actually a window manager -- it uses Metacity or Compiz. | 15:50 |
| Gnea | IdleOne: does it list anything? | 15:50 |
| edbian | simran: Well first answer my other question. Do you have any need for this partition? | 15:50 |
| Halitech | simran, I'm just thinking, I don't use gnome so not sure whats there but maybe there is an option to hide drives not mounted by fstab | 15:50 |
| edbian | IdleOne: What command did you type? | 15:50 |
| pooding | can anyone tell me how to reset ubuntu to the state it was when i installed it? | 15:51 |
| IdleOne | Gnea: /dev/sda1 and sda5 | 15:51 |
| simran | edbain: no not really...i havent used it yet | 15:51 |
| danfg | why is it that my network only "starts" when i run gdm? | 15:51 |
| Halitech | kri, xfce, openbox, all kinds | 15:51 |
| joakim | ani1, you mind if I pm you if there's a few things I need to clarity while reading it? | 15:51 |
| IdleOne | edbian: sudo vol_id -u /dev/sda6 | 15:51 |
| grawity | kri: Anyway, check Fluxbox, Enlightenment, Openbox, twm, IceWM, Xfce, wmii... | 15:51 |
| dayo | i'm looking for a package that let's me detect rogue dhcp servers | 15:51 |
| grawity | pooding: By installing it again. | 15:51 |
| edbian | simran: Than just delete it. It is pointless to edit 2 or 3 config files simply to hide a partition when you could just delete said partition. | 15:51 |
| mazda01 | IdleOne, u can always issue ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/ | 15:51 |

| simran | edbian: ok thanks | 15:52 |
| edbian | simran: NP! :) | 15:52 |
| pooding | there must be an easier way? | 15:52 |
| Gnea | IdleOne: okay. mount 6 somewhere, anywhere. then run blkid again. | 15:52 |
| IdleOne | edbian: it is an etx4 partition | 15:52 |
| simran | edbian: ill just use gparted within ubuntu | 15:52 |
| edbian | IdleOne: That shouldn't matter | 15:52 |
| grawity | pooding: You want it to be exactly like it was after installation? | 15:52 |
| IdleOne | Gnea: how do I mount it? | 15:52 |
| cornet | IdleOne: ? | 15:52 |
| pooding | i just want it to be fixed | 15:52 |
| edbian | simran: gparted rocks. Just make sure you don't try to edit a partition you're mounted on. If you need to edit ubuntu's root or something just use a live CD | 15:52 |
| cornet | IdleOne: where do you want it mounted ? | 15:52 |
| Gnea | IdleOne: what? | 15:52 |
| grawity | pooding: Fixed how? | 15:52 |

| edbian | IdleOne: Can you "sudo vol_id -u /dev/sda5" ?? | 15:53 |
| edbian | kri: gnome or kde ?? | 15:53 |
| Gnea | edbian: it isn't going to detect until it's actually mounted. | 15:53 |
| pooding | i used metacity --replace | 15:53 |
| IdleOne | edbian: yes | 15:53 |
| kri | edbian: gnome | 15:53 |
| edbian | Gnea: O good point | 15:53 |
| kri | do i have to go thro that compis editor? | 15:53 |
| edbian | IdleOne: Gnea is right you need to mount /dev/sda6 before you can vol_id it | 15:54 |
| IdleOne | Gnea: says I have to specify a file system type | 15:54 |
| edbian | kri: Are you ready? Open a terminal and type "gconf-editor" | 15:54 |
| simran | edbian: the recovery drive is present in ubuntu, but isnt mounted | 15:54 |

| grawity | zamba: I don't think there's such a thing as "vga splitters"... it's not like a water pipe. To have two displays, you'll need two video cards, or something like that | 16:04 |

| omsai_waptop | Halitech: if I do just a "apt-get install build-essentials" as root after closing Synaptics it says "E: Couldn't find package build-essentials". The internet works. Does the package manager need a port open or something? | 16:06 |
| grawity | zamba: Buy a second video card. Some cards have two separate outputs, that would work too | 16:06 |
| omsai_waptop | Halitech: internet browsing works, rather | 16:06 |
| cornet | IdleOne: um you can disable completely in gconf | 16:06 |
| zamba | grawity: this will work for ubuntu, yeah? | 16:06 |
| mneptok | zamba: do you have DVI capability? | 16:07 |
| zamba | grawity: what if i have a display card that has one dvi and one vga output? is this a dual display? | 16:07 |

| mneptok | zamba: you can split DVI to 2 discrete devices, and not simply mirror | 16:07 |
| cornet | IdleOne: so say mount it at /store | 16:07 |

| mneptok | zamba: just a splitter cable | 16:08 |
| stylist | you will always believe linux is better no matter what "arguments" i give | 16:08 |
| zamba | then i'll get one vga output and one dvi output, right? | 16:08 |
| grawity | stylist: I believe both are equal. | 16:08 |
| kri | grawity: metabox have a boarder (arrow down) | 16:08 |
| cornet | mneptok: you can only do that with DVI *IF* the card supports it | 16:08 |

| Halitech | TonyTheTiger, if there was nothing there you can't | 16:16 |

| Halitech | fauxreigner, unfortunately I haven't looked but system76 has laptops pre-installed with ubuntu, maybe use them to get an idea of what to look for | 16:23 |

| Dragonsong | Hey guys, I was wondering if someone could help me with getting the SMC Etherpower card to work on Ubuntu. Ubuntu seems to detect the card as "Digital Equipment DECchip 21041 [Tulip Pass 3]" and the chip is on the card so I assume that's right. Still, every time I try to connect to my network with it, it fails. The log dmesg gives me says "eth0: set link BNC" and "eth0: link up, media BNC" so my guess would be it's trying to use | 16:36 |
| TonyTheTiger | a94060, there is an option for hardware drivers BUT thats where my problem is. The fglrx driver is not showing there, nothing is. | 16:36 |
| cognitiaclaeves | holy: How do you SSH to a user at all? | 16:36 |
| cognitiaclaeves | holy: What are you trying to do? | 16:37 |
| Ktron | holy, do you mean, login via SSH? username is ubuntu, password is also ubuntu I believe | 16:37 |
| a94060 | ahh ok TonyTheTiger sorry, I am not sure then. I gotta afk then | 16:37 |
| Ktron | holy, but unless you installed openssh-server, I doubt the live CD brings up an SSH server by itself | 16:37 |
| holy | a94060 then am I safe with LiveCD? | 16:37 |
| rblst | i have a usb mouse attached to my laptop, and that mouse is way slower than my touchpad; can i synchronize their speed somehow in 9.04? | 16:37 |
| cognitiaclaeves | that user and password is not root, I don't believe. | 16:38 |
| Halitech | TonyTheTiger, the open source drivers do NOT show up in hardware drivers, that is for PROPRIETARY drivers that Ubuntu provides | 16:38 |
| TonyTheTiger | Halitech, but I had something showing there before. | 16:38 |
| TonyTheTiger | and if it doesnt then where are the fglrx driver | 16:38 |
| holy | cognitiaclaeves how to connect to remote computer running the system from LiveCD? | 16:38 |
| Ktron | cognitiaclaeves, its the live session user, which is what he asked for | 16:39 |
| Halitech | TonyTheTiger, and you probably had the proprietary drivers installed that no longer work in 9.04 | 16:39 |
| TonyTheTiger | this is all too confusing, why does ubuntu have to be like this. | 16:39 |
| TonyTheTiger | it was all fine. a dist upgrade messed it up. | 16:40 |
| cognitiaclaeves | holy: Sounds like you will need to install ssh and then ssh to ubuntu/ubuntu. ( But I have never tried that. ) | 16:40 |
| cognitiaclaeves | holy: Or, if you have some reason to worry about doing that, create a new user first and then ssh with those credentials. | 16:40 |
| Halitech | thats why I go by the old adage, if it isn't broke, don't fix it | 16:40 |
| holy | cognitiaclaeves I fear someone can easily browse my files using my IP from freenode network. That's all. Not really try to connect to something. | 16:41 |

| cognitiaclaeves | holy: I can't tell you definitively that no one can, but if you open an xterm and type whoami, and the answer is not root, you should be pretty safe. | 16:42 |
| Halitech | joakim, does it show up in lspci? | 16:42 |
| Seidos | joakim, can you disable onboard sound in the bios? | 16:42 |
| joakim | <- Rookie. What is lspci? | 16:42 |
| Ktron | TonyTheTiger, you're right, its messed up that Ubuntu allows you to download proprietary drivers automatically for your system and doesn't make you go and download them from the manufacturer's websites like Windows | 16:42 |
| Halitech | joakim, open a terminal and type in lspci | 16:42 |
| joakim | I tried that actually, still does not work | 16:42 |

| mikejet | any suggestions on how to set up cifs so I can read-write directories I create? | 16:46 |
| Seidos | the great thing about Linux is if you don't like something, you can learn how to to fix it. | 16:46 |
| Ktron | TonyTheTiger, if you're trying to find fglrx, start with 'apt-cache search fglrx'; you probably want xorg-driver-fglrx. And if you google 'ubuntu fglrx' the first page is a howto on getting the binary video drivers for ATI running on ubuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI | 16:46 |
| undarkhost13 | sou novo nestas aqui, não sei de que referes | 16:46 |
| joakim | Halitech, can we do it in private? Don't think it's as easy as that, since I cant really see the x-fi card in there | 16:46 |
| IdleOne | undarkhost13: /join #ubuntu-br | 16:46 |
| Halitech | TonyTheTiger, I understant, I have an X1200 that worked fine and after an upgrade it stopped working, I just went back to an older version | 16:46 |
| mikejet | ... I don't care whether the server-user is the same as the cifs client-user. I just don't understand this super complicated samba.conf | 16:46 |
| Ktron | TonyTheTiger, my guess is that you upgraded to 9.04, and lost fglrx? | 16:46 |
| Ktron | TonyTheTiger, That's because I don't believe ATI has supplied an fglrx (binary, already compiled) video driver that works with the newer version of Xorg in 9.04. | 16:47 |
| Halitech | joakim, would rather do it out here in case someone else has an idea I don't think of | 16:47 |
| holy | Ktron but, for example, with 64 bit Ubuntu from www.caellinux.com, I run SSH using LiveCD; with some 'usual' password altogether... | 16:47 |
| piasdom | 'bye all | 16:48 |
| Ktron | TonyTheTiger, would you have rathered Ubuntu wait on upgrading Xorg until every video card had a new binary driver, or ATI to hurry up and release a new fglrx driver for us linux users? | 16:48 |
| joakim | Halitech, you're right, that's probably a better idea. But well, if I go to preferences -> sound. I cant see any option to choose my x-fi card | 16:48 |
| Halitech | joakim, what options do you have? | 16:49 |
| Ktron | TonyTheTiger, I'm still running 8.10 on my laptop because of this too, but its really ATI's problem to fix, not Ubuntu's | 16:49 |
| Ktron | TonyTheTiger, They said they were going to release a new version with the next version of Catalyst, last I remember | 16:49 |
| Halitech | Ktron, TonyTheTiger I was talking to a tech yesterday and ATI has dropped support for alot of cards in windows as well and not just the cheap cards either and they are loosing a lot of sales because of it | 16:50 |
| mikejet | I have an old ubuntu server (command-line) system lying around and need to know when it's support ends. Is there a file in /etc that has that? | 16:51 |
| Ktron | TonyTheTiger, the ATI binary driver for linux is still at 9.3, opposed to Vista, which just got 9.8. 9.3 came out... 3/18/2009 according to their website | 16:51 |
| joakim | Halitech, by which box? Default mixer tracks? The rest is on auto detect | 16:51 |
| IdleOne | mikejet: what version? | 16:51 |
| joakim | The Sound events, music and movies, audio conferencing that is | 16:52 |
| Halitech | Ktron, actually there is a new 9.8 out but only for select cards | 16:52 |
| mikejet | 7.04 | 16:52 |
| Ktron | Halitech, TonyTheTiger, just found that http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx | 16:52 |
| Halitech | joakim, for the ones that say auto detect, what do you have for options in the drop downs? | 16:52 |
| Halitech | mikejet, its already ended | 16:52 |
| IdleOne | mikejet: Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) was the sixth release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: October 19th, 2008. See !eol and !upgrade for more details. | 16:52 |
| Ktron | Halitech, TonyTheTiger, looks like only X2300 and up | 16:53 |
| mikejet | apt-get gives very unfriendly error messages when support ends. | 16:53 |
| joakim | Halitech, some various versions of ALSA and OSS and some PulseAudio Sound server | 16:53 |
| Halitech | joakim, try the pulse audio option | 16:53 |
| joakim | Some HDA intel stuff | 16:53 |
| SpinachHead | anyone here have a system 76? | 16:53 |
| mikejet | IdleOne : Is there some way to determine when support ends other than just knowing? | 16:53 |
| genii | mikejet: You can temporarily swith repositories to old-releases.archive.ubuntu.com | 16:53 |

| ahtmly2k | notice it or not i don't think that the human beings that choose to control the machines should limit themselves to te limits of the system.. | 16:58 |

| j2daosh | what directorys can i safely move from / to a different disk? | 17:36 |
| Saik | j2daosh, /home, for sure | 17:37 |
| simran | anyone here use nvclock?? | 17:37 |
| scyx | raylu: xbmc is overkill if i only want to dump a few rtmp streams.. seems like no other program supports it atm =/ | 17:37 |
| seezer | simran: yep | 17:37 |
| Saik | clint__, any more ideas? | 17:38 |
| raylu | scyx: indeed. i'm sure you can get thedailyshow from... elsewhere... | 17:38 |
| clint__ | Saik: did you install w32codecs or w64codecs for 64 bits operating systems | 17:38 |
| Saik | w32 | 17:38 |
| raylu | j2daosh: ...all of them? | 17:38 |
| Saik | this pc doesn't support 64bit | 17:38 |
| raylu | j2daosh: you probably meant to ask "what directories _should_ i move to a different partition?" | 17:38 |
| simran | seezer i downloaded nvclock-gtk but i dont know where it is ??? | 17:38 |
| j2daosh | well my problem is i only have a 3.8 gig disk, and its at 93% full right now after doing an apt-get install ubuntu-desktop/kubuntu-desktop | 17:38 |
| raylu | Saik: grep lm /proc/cpuinfo | 17:38 |
| j2daosh | so i added another 4 gig disk and now i just want to know what i can move off the root | 17:39 |
| scyx | raylu: yeah i guess so. but the official site is usually updated faster than those other sources | 17:39 |

| kannan02 | can i downgrade from 9.04 to 8.04LTS??// | 17:46 |
| raylu | Schmitty: maybe they're using a different shell | 17:46 |
| raylu | kannan02: no | 17:46 |
| grawity | Schmitty: Users' history files are in ~/.bash_history in their own homedirs. But if the user does not want to save history, there are at least five ways to clean it. | 17:46 |
| Schmitty | raylu: But is thing the usual place to find them? | 17:46 |
| erUSUL | !downgrade | kannan02 | 17:46 |
| ubottu | kannan02: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system. | 17:46 |
| raylu | Schmitty: there really is no standard, but bash is the default on ubuntu systems | 17:47 |
| simran | seezer: where is the option to do that, i dont see it | 17:47 |
| grawity | Schmitty: For bash, yes, ~/.bash_history is the default -- but user can change it | 17:47 |

| dehqan | good day everybody ; while removing libxml2 ,many other packages have been removed from system and now system is corrupted ,is there any way to find out names of those packages that have been removed ? | 17:47 |
| Schmitty | grawity: thanks | 17:47 |
| Saik | why is the last thing I need to get working always the hardest thing :@ | 17:47 |
| grawity | Schmitty: The user can choose any file for saving history (even /dev/null, for that matter). | 17:47 |
| grawity | Schmitty: Or he can choose _not_ to save history. | 17:47 |
| grawity | Schmitty: What are you trying to do, anyway? | 17:47 |

| usser_ | Guest98923: hell yea nexuiz is great | 17:50 |
| googeek | Hey there all | 17:50 |
| raylu | kannan02: the installer forces you to format the / partition. you can, however, move your /home to a separate partition. i recommend doing this | 17:50 |
| usser_ | Guest98923: download the latest version from their site the version in the repos is a bit dated | 17:50 |
| MsMaco | raylu: not true | 17:51 |
| raylu | Saik: i suggest trying with mplayer. also, have you seen the dvd playback factoid from ubottu? | 17:51 |
| Guest98923 | umm if you do an install without reformatting i think it does delete the home directory | 17:51 |
| hornik | . | 17:51 |
| MsMaco | raylu: the installer does not require that you format / . if you choose not to format /, your /home directory will be saved | 17:51 |
| raylu | MsMaco: it was true in 8.04, i believe. the new installer is more lenient | 17:51 |
| googeek | Anyone willing to walk a noob through planeshift? I got it to install, and made a launcher, like an online tutorial said, but it doesn't do anything on launch | 17:51 |
| MsMaco | raylu: 8.04 could install without killing home | 17:51 |
| Saik | raylu, yes, and I tried mplayer too, still don't work | 17:51 |
| raylu | MsMaco: hm, ok | 17:51 |

| RolaBlade | Hi... How do I open serial port in xubuntu. I am trying bluetooth programming with python | 18:08 |
| j2daosh | i cant get my disk to resize so i need to remove excess packages i wont need, anything audio or video | 18:08 |
| mizree | hmmm, i got everything working then went looking for toys. i didnt exactly do one thing at a time so im not sure the culprit. | 18:08 |
| livingdaylight | Saik: yes, i did. shame you didn't read what i wrote | 18:09 |
| x1250 | j2daosh, aptitude search ~i -F"%p" | 18:09 |
| Saik | livingdaylight, then repeat it, I had my own probles to sort | 18:09 |
| mizree | <RagnarokAngel> im too knew a linux user to track what i did wrong after i got my display to a useable resolution | 18:09 |
| mizree | <RagnarokAngel> took days | 18:09 |
| hlfshell | ctford - that is what i used, but i cant seem to see any ip address there. where should i be looking when using the ifconfig command? | 18:10 |
| RagnarokAngel | mizree: ah, and you probably don't want to go through the hassle of a fresh install, correct? | 18:10 |
| googeek | raylu: tried the shell, my mouse went a little haywire for a minute, but thats it | 18:10 |
| livingdaylight | TriMe: i used to be able to attach samsung lcd tv to my laptop (26" for watching movies) but since i played with the display function in system/preference it now no longer works. I get as far as login page, but after i enter name and password tv goes black. | 18:10 |
| raylu | googeek: no output? | 18:10 |
| mbeierl | Saik: I am having nvidia black screen bug :) | 18:10 |
| Saik | mbeierl, you use the ubuntu repo? | 18:11 |
| googeek | raylu: this is the tutorial i used: http://gwos.org/doku.php/guides:64bit:planeshift | 18:11 |
| RagnarokAngel | livingdaylight: you could run sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf to reset your xorg and it MAY work agian, it got me running again... | 18:11 |
| livingdaylight | Saik: http://pastebin.com/f63bf5c3a this is /var/log/Xorg output if it helps | 18:11 |
| mizree | <RagnarokAngel> i would rather avoid it since im not sure how i got my display working after days of searching, it just started working. i was messing with ways to randomly rotate the desktop background when things went cwazy. | 18:11 |
| Saik | livingdaylight, I'm ot good with tvout problems | 18:11 |
| livingdaylight | RagnarokAngel: don'st i need /etc/X11/xorg.conf? | 18:11 |
| mbeierl | Saik: The nvidia driver? No - the restricted drivers thing kept hanging on me. But I've used the latest stable, the latest beta, legacy, too many versions to mention - all to no avail | 18:12 |
| googeek | raylu: nope, unless I'm not doing it correctly | 18:12 |
| RagnarokAngel | mizree: is this a netbook you're running on? because you could just xrandr it to correctly display... | 18:12 |
| HobbleAlong | j2daosh: sudo dpkg --get-selections (> filename if you want a file) | 18:12 |
| RagnarokAngel | livingdaylight: if you RM it, it recreates the file from scratch. | 18:12 |
| Saik | mbeierl, whay GPU? | 18:12 |
| livingdaylight | Saik: that is why i said i need display/tvout guru | 18:12 |
| RagnarokAngel | livingdaylight: when you reboot | 18:12 |
| mizree | <RagnarokAngel> i did solve the backgrounds rotating though, i just used a screensaver to do it instead. sad workaround huh... | 18:12 |
| livingdaylight | RagnarokAngel: cool, i try! | 18:12 |
| mbeierl | Saik: I /think/ I might have come up with the workaround though... | 18:12 |
| mbeierl | Saik: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G72M [Quadro NVS 110M/GeForce Go 7300] (rev a1) | 18:12 |
| rocky_ | bbl | 18:12 |
| livingdaylight | Saik: what is your area of expertise? | 18:12 |
| mizree | <RagnarokAngel> is not a netbook, i just used that install since i had a flash drive handy and no cd's | 18:13 |
| mbeierl | Saik: in compiz config, under workarounds there is the Force sync between X and GLX and that seems to help with windows that are not being updated | 18:13 |
| swayric | linux partitioners do not read partition table while windows reads it fine. I've run testdisk to rewrite it but linux still can't detect any partitions. help? | 18:13 |
| mbeierl | Saik: still waiting on the black window bug... | 18:13 |
| RagnarokAngel | mizree: oh, well, if you want to go ahead and do a full installation you can unetbootin a full install onto a usb key | 18:13 |
| tomek | hi everyone | 18:13 |
| mizree | <RagnarokAngel> then tried to add the packages i wanted. worked ok till i broke something | 18:13 |
| Saik | mbeierl, http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_185.18.36.html | 18:13 |
| mbeierl | Saik: 64 bit :) | 18:14 |
| tomek | I have some troubles with getting wireles to work after last update | 18:14 |
| dotblank | swayric, what partition is it? | 18:14 |
| Saik | mbeierl, my bad, sorry | 18:14 |
| googeek | tomek: like what? | 18:14 |
| RagnarokAngel | mizree: yeah, the UNR is really designed for netbooks, allegedly there's a way to move it to a full installation, but I don't know how... | 18:14 |
| mizree | <RagnarokAngel> schweeeeeet, can you tells me how please? i would much rather the desktop install options | 18:14 |
| tomek | in hardware drivers nothing is listed | 18:14 |
| googeek | tomek.....hmmmmm | 18:14 |
| Saik | http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_amd64_185.18.36.html | 18:14 |
| mbeierl | Saik: I have not tried 36 yet. Last 185 I tried was 185.18.41 | 18:14 |
| kad_ | hey need help! i install kernel 2.6-30 and i was having before 2.8.14 kernel ! but when i update , it give me with update the old 2.8.14 i went to /etc/apt/sources.lst which one of deb-src or deb i remove to not allow apt-get update gather information about the kernel? thx | 18:14 |
| RagnarokAngel | mizree: sure -- you're going to want to grab unetbootin -- sudo apt-get install unetbootin | 18:14 |
| mizree | <RagnarokAngel> i gots no workable burner right now so was just trying to be back online since this is a business pc | 18:15 |
| staminna | ifaraone: It's not on the run application or menu items.. apt-get install opera : Package opera is not available, but is referred to by another package. | 18:15 |
| staminna | This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package opera has no installation candidate | 18:15 |
| tomek | and it doesn give me an option to connect throu wireles | 18:15 |
| googeek | tomek: I had a problem with mine, I'm not too experienced, but if you want to give me a pastbin of your etc/network/interfaces file, I might be able to help | 18:15 |
| Saik | mbeierl, you install in root? | 18:15 |
| RagnarokAngel | mizree: and then you're going to want to get the standard .iso of ubuntu, or any flavor that you prefer really | 18:15 |
| mizree | <RagnarokAngel> really preciates yer time | 18:15 |
| mbeierl | Saik: as root, yes. gdm stop, unload nvidia module, install from VT 1... | 18:16 |
| ctford | hlfshell: You should see a bunch of information after each interface. If you're using a regular ethernet connection look for "eth0". Then look for a line that starts inet addr: | 18:16 |
| Arkns | how do I remove the passwd of user root ( I give in my way of changing my real login...) | 18:16 |
| tomek | what exactly is pastbin, googeek? | 18:16 |
| Saik | mbeierl, do it from "safe mode" | 18:16 |
| RagnarokAngel | mizree: no prob, I found unetbootin to be one of the tools that I can't have an installation without! | 18:16 |
| ctford | another option for finding out your ip address is to go to a site like http://linux-ip.net/html/basic-changing.html | 18:16 |
| dotblank | !paste | 18:16 |
| ubottu | pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic | 18:16 |
| googeek | tomek: a pasting tool | 18:16 |
| ctford | hlfshell: sorry, http://whatismyipaddress.com/ | 18:16 |
| mbeierl | Saik: usually the nvidia installer wants all X servers stopped, so I do the install right from the vt | 18:16 |
| tomek | ok | 18:17 |
| hlfshell | thanks for the help ctford :-) | 18:17 |
| tomek | i know now | 18:17 |
| swayric | dotblank: My 500G drive is split into 2 partitions, 1 NTFS and 1 FAT32. Both are visible/detected by winXP. Partitioners in linux do not detect them.\ | 18:17 |
| tomek | just a sec | 18:17 |
| googeek | tomek: http://paste.ubuntu.com/ | 18:17 |
| kannan01 | MsMaco:when installing 8.04 what user name and password should i give. the 9.04 username or new one.. | 18:17 |
| mizree | <RagnarokAngel> well i think i can follow that part. i was wanting to do that earlier but couldnt find a way to use the iso file on my stick | 18:18 |
| dotblank | swayric, can you pastebin "cat /proc/partitions" | 18:18 |
| RagnarokAngel | mizree: yeah, which is where unetbootin steps in it creates a bootable image on your usb drive from an iso | 18:18 |
| jmz | hey | 18:18 |
| jmz | im on ubuntu 8.04 and it never shows updates | 18:18 |
| swayric | dotblank: It is in linux as if the hard drive itself does not exist. not even /dev/sda shows up; fdisk, installer, gparted return an empty box as if no hard drives are connected to my system. | 18:18 |
| RagnarokAngel | mizree: unetbootin doesn't support *everything* but just about anything that isn't waaaay out in left field architecturally. | 18:18 |
| jmz | it just says system is up to date, even though theres obviously a new ubuntu version | 18:19 |
| mizree | <RagnarokAngel> much appreciated, who knows how many days of forum hopping you just saved me. | 18:19 |
| RagnarokAngel | mizree: Good to hear that I can help out | 18:19 |
| CopyWriter | hello hello | 18:19 |
| tomek | googeek, http://paste.ubuntu.com/259382/ | 18:19 |
| tomek | it has just two lines | 18:19 |
| Saik | mbeierl, well, try n recovery, if that don't work I don't know what to do.I have to run | 18:19 |
| mizree | <RagnarokAngel> is responses like yours which have made me willing to go through the learning curve to switch from MS | 18:19 |
| dotblank | swayric, can you type "watch "dmesg | tail"" and unplug the drive and plug it back in | 18:19 |
| jasl | hi any girl funny | 18:19 |
| clint__ | JMZ: you try to upgrade to the latest ubuntu version 9.04 | 18:19 |
| __theIdiotBox | hello everyone | 18:19 |
| RagnarokAngel | mizree: now if only I could get someone who knew the solution to my problems XD | 18:20 |
| mbeierl | Saik: thanks! | 18:20 |
| dotblank | swayric, it should come up withs ome events | 18:20 |
| mizree | <RagnarokAngel> chuckles | 18:20 |
| kannan01 | raylu:when installing 8.04 what user name and password should i give. the 9.04 username or new one.. | 18:20 |
| Saik | mbeierl, np | 18:20 |
| kad_ | hey need help! i install kernel 2.6-30 and i was having before 2.8.14 kernel ! but when i update , it give me with update the old 2.8.14 i went to /etc/apt/sources.lst which one of deb-src or deb i remove to not allow apt-get update gather information about the kernel? thx | 18:20 |
| jmz | clint_: this pc hasnt been on for like months so its impossible to not have updates | 18:20 |
| jmz | yet it insists there arent any | 18:20 |
| googeek | tomek: as far as I know, that's exactly how it should look. I had to comment out some lines on mine after those two | 18:20 |
| mizree | <RagnarokAngel> now gotta try apt-get with no text and hope works...lol | 18:20 |
| swayric | dotblank: cant get wireless working; give me a moment while I bridge ethernet to it and reboot into a liveCD to do the command | 18:21 |
| googeek | tomek: does your internet work if you boot from the cd | 18:21 |
| RagnarokAngel | mizree: yeah, the tools are there, just takes either a skilled hand at google, a bit of command line bruteforce, and a whole lot of being willing to keep going | 18:21 |
| raylu | kannan01: shouldn't matter | 18:21 |
| linuxson25 | Tried fsck.ext3 -p hda0 : says superblock could not be read, or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem??? | 18:21 |
| __theIdiotBox | kad_, can you be more specific? what exactly is the problem with the new kernel? | 18:21 |
| tomek | well, i haven' triedt | 18:21 |
| Saik | mbeierl, best of luck to ya | 18:21 |
| kannan01 | raylu:any username right.. | 18:21 |
| RagnarokAngel | mizree: or being in the right channel at the right time ;-) | 18:21 |
| mizree | <RagnarokAngel> i gota all of those, so now is only matter of time and processing power... pc has more than me i thinks | 18:21 |
| kad_ | __theIdiotBox, nothing just i want to disable update for the old kernel from apt ! | 18:22 |
| tomek | but is it really a thing to try, googeek | 18:22 |
| mbeierl | Saik: thanks! | 18:22 |
| lfl | Hi, I'm trying to install mplayer-pulse, but I get this error message at the end http://paste.ubuntu.com/259383/ what do I do? | 18:22 |
| clint__ | JMZ: do a quick aptitude update then aptitude upgrade from the terminal | 18:22 |
| silvering | hey, how about enable read/write for ext* in windows, anyone ? | 18:22 |
| googeek | tomek: when I had my issue, it booted from cd perfect. But, the install didn't work | 18:22 |
| Myrtti | silvering: there is a driver for it | 18:22 |
| silvering | i`m using ext4 | 18:23 |
| jmz | clint_: i changed a few options in software sources and now it picks up updates | 18:23 |
| __theIdiotBox | kad_, i think once you have a new kernel all new updates will be related to that only, right? better you get rid of the old kernel | 18:23 |
| Myrtti | silvering: good luck. | 18:23 |
| j2daosh | can someone PM me the lines in their sources.list for backports, restricted, and mutliverse? | 18:23 |
| beckM | Hallo, spricht hier auch jemand deutsch? | 18:23 |
| silvering | yes.. i tried with the driver for ext3, doesnt work | 18:23 |
| swayric | dotblank: I'll try the "watch "dmsg | tail"", though this drive is physically mounted in my PC. Unplug sata while in livecd, perhaps? | 18:23 |
| tomek | googeek: and did this helped you to get it working after install? | 18:23 |
| kad_ | __theIdiotBox, no update from new kernel! all update from old kernel and i remove it but still updates come | 18:23 |
| mizree | <RagnarokAngel> hmmm, how do i know if succeeded in getting unetbootin? i cant read anything in terminal | 18:24 |
| RagnarokAngel | Does anyone know why audio in mplayer/rhythmbox/firefox/system would work just fine, but would fail in banshee (I could go without the mono hate) | 18:24 |
| RagnarokAngel | mizree: you should be able to open up unetbootin... uhm in the UNR I'm not sure which tab it would go into... | 18:24 |
| diamantino | hallo | 18:24 |
| dotblank | swayric, yea you can do that sata is hotswapable | 18:24 |
| __theIdiotBox | RagnarokAngel, which version of Ubuntu? | 18:24 |
| Brian__ | ijust installed ubiquity and im really impressed | 18:25 |
| Brian__ | 18:25 | |
| RagnarokAngel | __theIdiotBox: I'm running the Karmic daily. | 18:25 |
| swayric | dotblank: it just seems a bit dangerous unmounting a HD which is configured for windows performance (data is not all saved on drive) | 18:25 |
| raylu | mizree: generally, those brackets mean you're quoting someone | 18:25 |
| linuxson25 | Tried fsck.ext3 -p hda0 : says superblock could not be read, or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem??? | 18:25 |
| __theIdiotBox | RagnarokAngel, okkey.... | 18:25 |
| dotblank | swayric, what do you mean windows performance? | 18:25 |
| googeek | tomek: well, I couldn't use the net without swtiching back to cd. I used the cd boot to get the info I needed about commenting out the lines and such. You could also compare the files, to see if maybe there is another line neccesary that is there on boot or something.....Something about the first updates would ruin my connection, to the point where my wireless didn't even show up as on option, it just said "device no | 18:25 |
| phil__ | I'm having problems building vlc from 1.0.1.. anyone had the same problem? I have 9.04 installed | 18:25 |
| raylu | linuxson25: are you sure it's an ext filesystem? what does fdisk -l say? | 18:25 |
| dotblank | swayric, if your doing some time of software raid that changes everything | 18:25 |
| RagnarokAngel | __theIdiotBox: it's the only version that I could get my headphone jack to work in... And I'll help bugtest. | 18:25 |
| RagnarokAngel | phil__: have you tried just using the VLC PPA? | 18:26 |
| diamantino | people i need help i wont install ybuntu 9.04 on my notebook but now i understand thats inside it all from VIA -mb core vedeo lan. So is this system will work without problems with ubuntu, | 18:26 |
| mizree | RagnarokAngel - sorry, was trying to reply to you individually | 18:26 |
| tomek | ok | 18:26 |
| linuxson25 | raylu: Doesnt say anything | 18:26 |
| __theIdiotBox | kad_, i dont think a particular deb is supported by only one kernel,,,,in that case the updates for the old kernel applies to the new kernel as well, unless you've done a sys Upgrade | 18:26 |
| googeek | tomek: and being that yours did work, and now doesn't I'm guessing its the same issue, just different lines missing/ not cooperating | 18:26 |
| RagnarokAngel | mizree: it's fine, I'm not exactly all up on the nuances of irc... but just typing ragn and then tab should fill in my username | 18:27 |
| tomek | ok | 18:27 |
| lfl | I get this error when installing mplayer-pulse, can someone help? http://paste.ubuntu.com/259383/ | 18:27 |
| phil__ | what is VLC PPA? Is it for developing aswell? I'm going to write a plug-in | 18:27 |
| tomek | thanks | 18:27 |
| swayric | dotblank: nvm, thats from when I formatted a new 750G in FAT32 last night, winXP gives options to allow for prompting to unplug or no prompting | 18:27 |
| googeek | tomek: np, I hope that helps, if at all | 18:27 |
| RagnarokAngel | phil__: PPAs are generally for devs, yes | 18:27 |
| __theIdiotBox | phil__, couldn't search in launchpad? | 18:28 |
| swayric | this drive is my main drive, though. unplugging it while booted into liveCD won't hurt anything? | 18:28 |
| guntbert | !ppa | phil__ | 18:28 |
| ubottu | phil__: With Launchpad's Personal Package Archives (PPA), you can build and publish binary Ubuntu packages for multiple architectures simply by uploading an Ubuntu source package to Launchpad. See https://help.launchpad.net/PPAQuickStart. | 18:28 |
| swayric | dotblank: --on a ntfs fs mounted in linux being forcably unplugged | 18:28 |
| googeek | anyone know why my planeshift wont launch? | 18:28 |
| mizree | RagnarokAngel, heheh, im learning... went to the ppa for untebootin instead, so i can see what im doing. thanks again. now i have a better path | 18:28 |
| phil__ | RagnarokAngel: sweet, thx, I'll try it out. Yeah I googled for it but didn't get the idea of it directly | 18:28 |
| __theIdiotBox | googeek, can you be more specific | 18:28 |
| dotblank | swayric, if it isnt mounted and you run sync before uinplugging it should be fine | 18:29 |
| linuxson25 | raylu: OH....when trying to browse the drive now, it gives a connot mount error: wrong fs type, bad superblock | 18:29 |
| swayric | dotblank, "sync" ? | 18:29 |
| RagnarokAngel | mizree: I hope that you can get unetbootin started up, it will be smooth sailing from there on out | 18:29 |
| dotblank | !sync | 18:29 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about sync | 18:29 |
| googeek | _theIdiotBox: yep, I sure can. I installed, via a tutorial online, did the install, update install( at least i think i did this right, not too sure) and made the launchers. And, when I launch it, it does a whole lot of nothing | 18:29 |
| swayric | --me neither, ubottu | 18:30 |
| __theIdiotBox | googeek, any error message? or nothing at all? | 18:30 |
| linuxson25 | raylu: this bad? | 18:30 |
| kad_ | __theIdiotBox, i didn't do system upgrade | 18:30 |
| googeek | _theIdiotBox: absolutely nada | 18:30 |
| dotblank | swayric, its a command that finishes all io to disks or rather waits for all io to disks to finish | 18:31 |
| mizree | RagnarokAngel, well now i got same prollem with the add sources dialog, nothing but blank white screen | 18:31 |
| raylu | linuxson25: can you pastebin the output of "fdisk -l" and "gparted -l"? perhaps you got no output because you didn't run it as root | 18:31 |
| __theIdiotBox | kad_, in that case the old deb/pkgs applies to your new kernel as well...if you still think something is wrong be specific, give me some particular example | 18:31 |
| mizree | cant even dl the source packages. hmmmm | 18:31 |
| kripso | 'There was an error installing the selected file: "metacity-theme-1.xml" does not appear to be a valid theme.". | 18:31 |
| kripso | ? | 18:31 |
| kripso | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=990720 | 18:31 |
| RagnarokAngel | mizree: hmmmmmm, do you have another terminal installed to see if we can just run through that? | 18:31 |
| kad_ | __theIdiotBox, ok when i do sudo apt-get update! it give me the update of the old kernel not the new kernel! why ? | 18:32 |
| linuxson25 | raylu: Ok...didnt do that....lol | 18:32 |
| RagnarokAngel | mizree: try opening up a new terminal and then running sudo apt-get install konsole | 18:32 |
| RagnarokAngel | then of course put in your password | 18:32 |
| RagnarokAngel | and it *should* install | 18:32 |
| RagnarokAngel | or | 18:32 |
| RagnarokAngel | if unetbootin is already there w/out the ppa | 18:32 |
| grawity | kripso: It only accepts packed .tar.gz themes | 18:32 |
| RagnarokAngel | mizree: just open a new terminal and run the command unetbootin and see if anything comes up... I kno wyou have no video... | 18:32 |

| jiohdi | how do I change directory to sda3? | 18:33 |
| RagnarokAngel | mizree: you are just not having good luck today! | 18:33 |
| __theIdiotBox | nikolaj_basher, depends on the apps you're trying to build | 18:33 |
| RagnarokAngel | mizree: your terminal still works, just blanked right? | 18:33 |

| RagnarokAngel | mizree: excellent! just open up unetbootin and we should be home free | 18:34 |
| linuxson25 | raylu: gives the info with fdisk -l. Can see the Linux prts, and swap | 18:34 |
| jiohdi | __theIdiotBox: where do I find the mount point? | 18:34 |
| mizree | it opens... whoooohooooo. now gotta dl the source iso rq | 18:34 |
| clint__ | Much of the Linux program for Ubuntu are C and some are C++ | 18:34 |
| nikolaj_basher | __theIdiotBox, network programs and staff programs.. I know I have a big vision:D | 18:35 |
| HobbleAlong | nikolaj_basher: Go for C. C++ is a superset and object oriented, so you need to know C anyway. | 18:35 |

| __theIdiotBox | nikolaj_basher, thats better,,,,i guess it should be C... | 18:35 |
| kripso | grawity: how do i get rid of that board ive tryed so hard know changing the configure and everything it should work see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=990720 (#2) if you would like to help me.. | 18:36 |
| nikolaj_basher | HobbleAlong, I know i little bit of C. Will you stille not take c++ | 18:36 |
| __theIdiotBox | jiohdi, even df can do that if thats already mounted..or use the last command | 18:36 |
| nikolaj_basher | __theIdiotBox, can you program C? | 18:36 |
| raylu | __theIdiotBox, jiohdi: fdisk won't give you the mountpoint, but mount will | 18:37 |
| __theIdiotBox | nikolaj_basher, what you mean by that? | 18:37 |

| j2daosh | how can i remove a bunch of packages at once? | 18:38 |
| j2daosh | like gstreamer0.10-* | 18:38 |
| j2daosh | i want to get rid of all of them without having to type out each one | 18:38 |
| RagnarokAngel | j2 sudo apt-get remove gstreamer0.10-* should work | 18:38 |
| danfg | j2daosh: list them all on aptitude or apt-get, or select them all on synaptic | 18:38 |
| RagnarokAngel | j2daosh: I know that sudo apt-get install bluez-* installed everything bluez... | 18:39 |
| mizree | even though we found a way to fix this by reinstalling, im curious what went wrong, since most everything still worked and fairly well | 18:39 |
| nikolaj_basher | __theIdiotBox, sorry my bad english... Do you know how too make programs i C | 18:39 |
| RagnarokAngel | j2daosh: so I don't see why the same functionality would exist for apt-get remove gstreamer-* | 18:39 |
| HobbleAlong | nikolaj_basher: Get to know C well, most things you can do in C++ you can do in C as well. To use C++ properly takes a bit of a different mind set. | 18:39 |
| j2daosh | ok thats what i was looking for | 18:39 |
| j2daosh | lol i should have just tried it instead of asking | 18:39 |

I need to change my hardware to save money. Today to get a very good performance, I need to pay a advanced hardware because the datacenter uses the default packages of Ubuntu Linux. I'm using U | 18:40 |

| kad_ | __theIdiotBox, so any help ? | 18:40 |
| mizree | i wouldnt slam the netbook release even though i broke it, the thing did work even though i was using it for something beyond its intentions | 18:40 |
| j2daosh | yeah, there we go, im burning through the removes now :) | 18:41 |
| __theIdiotBox | kad_, could not get your prob properly | 18:41 |
| RagnarokAngel | phil__: you won't have to build it yourself. It's just a simple streamline, and adding the PPA will keep you up to date usually | 18:41 |
| kad_ | __theIdiotBox, ok when i do sudo apt-get update! it give me the update of the old kernel not the new kernel! why ? | 18:41 |
| kad_ | __theIdiotBox, hrm ok thx | 18:41 |
| __theIdiotBox | kad_, fine...welcome | 18:42 |
| nikolaj_basher | __theIdiotBox, none of them I have made small programs in C and C++ so I need to those, I just think it's smart that c++ is object orrintated | 18:42 |
| j2daosh | kad, do you have old sources listed in your sources.list file? | 18:42 |
| __theIdiotBox | nikolaj_basher, to know C++ first you need to learn C...C++ is superset of C | 18:42 |
| kripso | awsome | 18:43 |
| kripso | :D | 18:43 |
| RagnarokAngel | phil__: the biggest difference is that if VLC updates to another version, you should get it via the ppa without rebuilding from source | 18:43 |
| nikolaj_basher | HobbleAlong, Thanks I will look a C | 18:43 |
| nikolaj_basher | __theIdiotBox, thanks for your advise I go for C | 18:43 |
| phil__ | RagnarokAngel: Ah right.. many questions now hehe, so how do I actually use it? And more importantly.. can I mess around with my plug-ins without having to rebuild it all? | 18:43 |
| __theIdiotBox | nikolaj_basher, you're welcome.... | 18:43 |
| kripso | hi when i alt + left mouse klick and movement i move the window (like this window) i want it to rezise if i ctrl and left mouse klick, is that possible in Metacity/gnome? | 18:44 |
| j2daosh | !nessus | 18:44 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about nessus | 18:44 |
| grawity | kripso: How about Alt+RightClick? | 18:44 |
| kripso | grawity: that will also do it | 18:45 |
| RagnarokAngel | phil__: you just add the PPA to your sources, which you can find the instructions for on launchpad or official ubuntu documentation. And I thought the point of plugins was that you could add/mess with them without having to rebuild from source? | 18:45 |
| j2daosh | is there a non-gui security scanner? | 18:45 |
| nikolaj_basher | __theIdiotBox, do you know a great compiler for C to gnome? | 18:45 |
| kripso | grawity: thats even better | 18:45 |
| kripso | grawity: is it possible though? | 18:45 |
| HobbleAlong | nikolaj_basher: It doesn't hurt to look at them both, but I think you will find C++ a tough go if you don't have a good grasp of C first. | 18:45 |
| grawity | kripso: I don't remember if it's Alt-RightClick or Alt-MiddleClick, but it's enabled by default. | 18:45 |
| grawity | kripso: Alt-MiddleClick, I think. | 18:45 |

| kripso | that mittle button on my laptop mouse isnt so nice. | 18:46 |
| __theIdiotBox | nikolaj_basher, i dint get your Qs...if you're just looking for a compiler in linux ..use the default one...gcc...the commandline compiler...its available with your base linux | 18:46 |

| j2daosh | does this line: deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty main restricted universe multiverse: mean that i have the restricted, universe, and multiverse repos enabled? | 18:48 |
| ingenioushax | Every time I start my computer, all the windows are messed up, and none contain the "X" and maximize and such, so I have to use "xfwm4 --replace" every time. | 18:48 |
| __theIdiotBox | ingenioushax, whats the Q? | 18:49 |
| kripso | grawity: what's composting_manager? | 18:49 |
| nikolaj_basher | __theIdiotBox, I have gcc and i works. But i like a text-editor wiht buildin compiler, can i find that | 18:49 |
| genii | ingenioushax: There is also the channel #xubuntu where they give support for that version :) | 18:49 |
| HobbleAlong | nikolaj_basher: Install GCC from the repositories. That's the GNU Compiler Collection. Get any documentation you can find while you're at it. Also look at http://www.bellevuelinux.org/create_c1.html for an introduction. | 18:49 |
| ingenioushax | And when I start the terminal session I get two windows, if I close one, the other one closes... | 18:49 |
| __theIdiotBox | nikolaj_basher, i use gcc/g++ only...but definitely yes...you can get one...but you have to google it....let me try that as well | 18:50 |
| nikolaj_basher | HobbleAlong, I do that thank you for taking time | 18:50 |
| nikolaj_basher | __theIdiotBox, Tanks good advise you gave me | 18:51 |
| nikolaj_basher | :D have a nice evening | 18:51 |
| __theIdiotBox | nikolaj_basher, you're welcome dude | 18:51 |
| grawity | kripso: It makes Metacity use compositing: draw every window separately, then compose them into one big picture. (Kinda like Compiz, but without any effects.) Sometimes this makes things faster -- sometimes slower. | 18:51 |
| kripso | smoother | 18:53 |

| GPL | i would like to know, of a dock applet, which can be docked or snapped in the top, not in the bottom ? | 18:54 |
| __theIdiotBox | nikolaj_basher, you might be preety comfortable with some text-editors with inbuilt compilers...but i'ld suggest the best editor in linux is vi/emacs...use them and if you want you can put key-bindings to do compilation without going to command line...i'm saying all this as ultimately for any serious prog you've to use commandline anyway | 18:54 |

| hendrik | Hi, i wrote a little java program with has a bug: On resize of the window the X-session dies on Ubuntu 9.04 with Java 1.6 NVidia driver on both 16bit and 32bit. Java 1.5 on Ubuntu 9.04/NVidia is not affected. Ubuntu 8.10/Intel Graphic is not affected either. | 19:16 |
| hendrik | I am abit afraid that this bug can be abused by random webpages. | 19:16 |
| dehqan | good day everybody ; while removing libxml2 ,many other packages have been removed from system and now system is corrupted ,is there any way to find out names of those packages that have been removed ? | 19:16 |
| __theIdiotBox | unj, why do you want to manully clean the log folder? | 19:17 |
| hendrik | but i have no idea who to learn which component (java, x-windows, nvidia) is causing it. | 19:17 |
| unj | __theIdiotBox: I don't, I just want to get more space on /home for updates and packages, without repartitioning and losing data | 19:17 |
| root5_ | hendrik, launch a debugger on X or a kernel debugger on trace X when the crash is coming | 19:18 |
| growthmetal | hey, I had a question about partitions | 19:18 |
| __theIdiotBox | unj, okey coool...but cleaning that wont give you such big chunks...small sizes only... | 19:18 |
| __theIdiotBox | growthmetal, what? | 19:18 |
| growthmetal | I've got a vista partition and an ubuntu partition; what's the best way to transfer files between them? | 19:18 |
| hendrik | root5_, i know how to write java code but i am totally lost with C. Is there a howto somewhere? | 19:18 |
| grawity | growthmetal: Ubuntu can easily open the Vista partition | 19:19 |
| growthmetal | how? | 19:19 |
| unj | __theIdiotBox: I agree, is there a way to make /home bigger wihtout losign what is in it? | 19:19 |
| cbone | Hello...Anyone know of a good "how to" to install "berry4all" in jaunty? Thank you, I have exhausted google.... | 19:19 |
| ido_ | I have an annoying little issue when working with openoffice document. Every time I click on empty area the scroll bar bounces to the top and I have to go down again. How can I click without jumping to the top of the document?? | 19:19 |
| __theIdiotBox | dehqan, simple way...just simulate re-install of the same pkg i.e libxml..and see what new packages are asked to be installed...and you are done | 19:19 |
| grawity | growthmetal: For internal disks, the recommended way is to add a line to /etc/fstab | 19:19 |
| grawity | growthmetal: or, can you open Places -> Computer and check if it lists the partition? | 19:20 |
| growthmetal | ok | 19:20 |
| root5_ | hendrik, how to lean C language ? You can't just learn it in 1 week, but with the debugger youll be able to see wich function and wich parameters are involved in your crash, and then youll find more support | 19:20 |
| roscoe | is there a way to get jaunty to recognized a sdhc card | 19:20 |
| hendrik | root5_, i mean how to get started with a c debugger. | 19:20 |
| __theIdiotBox | unj, add new partition if possible and move some big folders from home to that and put softlinks for them on your home...jsut a suggestion | 19:20 |
| growthmetal | grawity: all I've got is "filesystem" and an audio disk in the drive | 19:20 |
| Berzerker | You can learn C in a week | 19:20 |
| Berzerker | I learned C++ in 2 | 19:21 |
| jiohdi_ | I am using Xfce I suddenly have no sound... where do I find it? | 19:21 |
| __theIdiotBox | hendrik, have to tied the basic debugger gdb | 19:21 |
| unj | __theIdiotBox: I don't want to keep pestering with questions...do have a link that explains this, if not then I can look for it | 19:21 |
| root5_ | hendrik, ok sorry, I don't know, i learnt it in some books, and with the documentation (try gdb and kgdb (if im not wrong)) | 19:21 |
| __theIdiotBox | unj, coooll....keep roaming around... | 19:22 |
| grawity | growthmetal: Hmm.. Can you open Terminal (from accessories), run 'sudo fdisk -l', and find the Windows partition in the list? (It'll be marked NTFS/HPFS) | 19:22 |
| root5_ | C++ is way higher level than C (wich is still a high level programing language) | 19:22 |
| hendrik | Thanks. | 19:22 |
| * root5_ eats | 19:22 | |
| * hendrik starts some googling with the keywords mentioned here. | 19:22 | |
| Berzerker | C++ and C aren't too different. | 19:22 |
| growthmetal | grawity: I've got two things that have HPFS/NTFS listed under the System column | 19:23 |
| Berzerker | It's actually easier to program in C++ since you have so many functions that just do things for you | 19:23 |
| growthmetal | Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System | 19:23 |
| growthmetal | /dev/sda1 * 1 18107 145441760+ 7 HPFS/NTFS | 19:23 |
| growthmetal | /dev/sda2 18107 19457 10845184 7 HPFS/NTFS | 19:23 |
| HobbleAlong | Berzerker: Hello World is not learning C++ | 19:23 |
| __theIdiotBox | Berzerker, i dont agree on that | 19:23 |
| __theIdiotBox | HobbleAlong, i agree with you | 19:23 |
| Berzerker | HobbleAlong, I didn't say hello world was learning C++ | 19:23 |
| __theIdiotBox | growthmetal, pastebin plz? | 19:23 |
| growthmetal | _theIdiotBox: sorry | 19:23 |
| Berzerker | __theIdiotBox, well that's fine. too each his own. | 19:23 |

| grawity | growthmetal: It appears there are two partitions... eh, we'll just add both. | 19:24 |
| growthmetal | http://pastebin.com/d3c732470 | 19:24 |
| growthmetal | there are supposed to be two partitions: one for vista and one for ubuntu | 19:24 |
| grawity | growthmetal: Can you run 'sudo vol_id --uuid /dev/sda1' ? | 19:25 |
| __theIdiotBox | guntbert, thanks for reminding | 19:26 |
| HobbleAlong | Berzerker: but that's probably what you learned in 2 weeks. To be really proficient takes a lot of effort. | 19:26 |
| growthmetal | grawity: 572C8DDF568B4261 | 19:26 |
| grawity | growthmetal: Thanks, now 'sudo mkdir /media/windows' | 19:26 |
| growthmetal | grawity: done | 19:27 |
| kripso | ok 1 more question for tonight when i double klick on a titlebar i dont want it to minimize so only the titlebar of the window is visible | 19:27 |
| Berzerker | HobbleAlong, going to a class 9AM to 5PM every day also helps | 19:27 |
| __theIdiotBox | Berzerker, lol | 19:27 |
| guntbert | __theIdiotBox: :-) | 19:27 |
| kripso | dont mind me. | 19:28 |
| Berzerker | HobbleAlong, our final project was to produce a crappy FPS, it wasn't as good as Counter-strike, but it had the basics: sound, physics, terrain. | 19:28 |
| HobbleAlong | Berzerker: that will get you the basics | 19:28 |
| grawity | growthmetal: Now just copy/paste this line: echo "UUID=572C8DDF568B4261 /media/windows ntfs-3g auto,fmask=0111,dmask=0,utf8,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 0" | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab; sudo mount /media/windows | 19:28 |
| Berzerker | HobbleAlong, I'd say it gave me a good enough understanding of the C++ programming language. Not as well as most other people who know it, but a decent understanding. | 19:29 |
| growthmetal | grawity: done | 19:29 |
| Jackiz | how do i install a development version of SDL? | 19:29 |

| nabukadnezar43 | no, there werent any | 19:32 |

| ab2qik | hi im trying to following this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot | 19:34 |
| Jackiz | thats awesome! | 19:35 |
| nabukadnezar43 | .http://pastebin.com/m5e45a343 | 19:35 |
| Flannel | Jackiz: looks like the package is libsdl-image1.2-dev If that's not what you're looking for, it'll definately be libsdl*-dev | 19:35 |
| dajhorn | nabukadnezar43: The floodbot silenced you for pasting that. | 19:35 |
| Jackiz | okej thanks! :D | 19:35 |
| nabukadnezar43 | m5e45a343 | 19:35 |
| ab2qik | ubuntu is to be followed by a vista install for dual boot | 19:35 |
| saywatmang | hi i just found an x64 bug | 19:35 |
| grawity | ab2qik: Ubuntu _after_ Vista would be better. | 19:35 |
| saywatmang | http://gist.github.com/174889 segfaults but http://gist.github.com/174906 does not | 19:36 |
| nabukadnezar43 | i uploaded it to pastebin | 19:36 |
| saywatmang | so tehre is some compilation issue on glibc for x64 | 19:36 |
| nabukadnezar43 | but bot doesnt let me to paste the link here | 19:36 |
| kripso | now its almost set some small issues but not big problems can i save this to a dvd disc for later installation (i will get new drive) for the computer.. so need to reinstall.. | 19:36 |
| dajhorn | nabukadnezar43: No obvious disk or memory errors in that dmesg. | 19:36 |
| ab2qik | grawity, but the guide says its better performance with ub followed by vista | 19:36 |
| Flannel | !bugs | saywatmang | 19:36 |

| Wazzzaaa | Is it possible (and how) to exec a command only when I login with ssh? | 19:37 |
| saywatmang | yea im too lazy tho :[ | 19:37 |
| AvonGenesis | How would I do a disk defrag on ubuntu? | 19:37 |
| HobbleAlong | ab2qik: and..? | 19:37 |
| Wazzzaaa | only for me, and only when ssh | 19:37 |
| grawity | Wazzzaaa: Add it to ~/.bashrc, maybe? Check if $SSH_CONNECTION is set. | 19:37 |
| nabukadnezar43 | dajhorn, what do you suggest then? | 19:37 |
| broken-eee | Hi all, having a bit of a problem with my eee PC - booting into eeebuntu is failing, screen full of junk. I suspect its resuming from hibernate without a working display driver. | 19:37 |
| dajhorn | nabukadnezar43: Try forcing a reboot: # sudo sync; sudo reboot --force -P now | 19:38 |
| grawity | AvonGenesis: You don't -- the filesystem Linux uses doesn't really need defragmenting. | 19:38 |
| Wazzzaaa | thnx, I'll look into that grawity | 19:38 |
| broken-eee | Is there a way to boot my Ubuntu system, telling it not to restore from hibernation? | 19:38 |
| grawity | AvonGenesis: There exist a few tools, though. | 19:38 |
| ab2qik | HobbleAlong, i had ub installed first anyhow. Not knowing its easier other way round | 19:38 |
| nabukadnezar43 | it does reboot my friend | 19:38 |
| nabukadnezar43 | it doesnt shut down | 19:38 |
| dajhorn | nabukadnezar43: But not halt or shutdown? | 19:38 |
| kripso | dont need defragmantion... hm | 19:38 |
| grawity | Wazzzaaa: Basically, if [ -n "$SSH_CONNECTION" ]; then command; othercommand; fi | 19:38 |
| nabukadnezar43 | yes | 19:38 |
| dehqan | good day every body , while making local repository ,if one package is in 2 different versions in the folder , dpkg-scanpackages will add lower version of that package in the list , is it possible to add lower version in the list ? | 19:38 |
| kripso | whats good with ext4? | 19:38 |
| hanasaki | what needs to be done to configure arno firewall in ubuntu to allow pptp vpn without enabling NAT in dpkg-reconfigure? | 19:38 |
| AvonGenesis | grawity, Really? Thats great! Do you know of any tools to keep your PC clean though? | 19:38 |
| mbeierl | kripso: write speed is improved | 19:39 |
| coreyman | visual studio on ubuntu? pst plz | 19:39 |
| maco | coreyman: pst? | 19:39 |
| ab2qik | HobbleAlong, so should i just boot with vista and set the ntfs from the insatll disk | 19:39 |
| dajhorn | nabukadnezar43: Hmmm... Sounds like an ACPI glitch. Did you do anything to change power saving options? Or did you change the BIOS setup from defaults? | 19:39 |
| coreyman | maco private | 19:39 |
| mbeierl | coreyman: I use eclipse with the CDT installed | 19:39 |
| nabukadnezar43 | no dajhorn | 19:39 |
| kripso | mbeierl: so for a new disk with bigger cahce size and faster rpm you recomend ext4 before3? | 19:39 |
| Jackiz | i have downloaded a pakage, and i cant figure out how to install it. the package is libsdl-image1.2-dev | 19:40 |
| dajhorn | nabukadnezar43: What is the manufacturer an model of the computer and/or motherboard? | 19:40 |
| kripso | mbeierl: (laptop) | 19:40 |
| coreyman | mbeierl visual studio is require for my college class | 19:40 |
| __theIdiotBox | kripso, www.linux-mag.com/id/7272 | 19:40 |
| nabukadnezar43 | it's packard bell easynote v7084 | 19:40 |
| maco | coreyman: then you're going to need a windows VM | 19:40 |
| __theIdiotBox | gotta go..buy guys...c ya tomorrow | 19:40 |
| ab2qik | where and how is the boot sector backed up? | 19:40 |
| nabukadnezar43 | i changed some settings from Power Management | 19:40 |
| mbeierl | kripso: There were a few reports of ext4 problems in the early beta days, but I've been using in on laptop and desktop with great success and appreciation for write improvements | 19:40 |
| nabukadnezar43 | if that counts | 19:40 |
| Wazzzaaa | grawity: but $SSH_CONNECTION is also set when I create a new window in screen | 19:41 |
| grawity | Wazzzaaa: Ah, hmm. Put in ~/.profile then? | 19:41 |
| mbeierl | coreyman: sorry I'm not sure that you're going to get a microsoft compiler working under wine. did you try crossover? | 19:41 |
| dajhorn | nabukadnezar43: It does. Changing the power configuration can result in this kind of problem. What is the manufacturer and model of the computer? | 19:41 |
| HobbleAlong | ab2qik: Windows does not play nice. It will grab/wreck everything if you let it. | 19:41 |
| grawity | Wazzzaaa: or ~/.bash_profile, don't remember which one exists by default | 19:41 |
| nabukadnezar43 | Packard Bell Easynote V7084 | 19:41 |
| nabukadnezar43 | DAJHORN | 19:41 |
| coreyman | mbeierl no i didn't | 19:41 |
| Wazzzaaa | hmm, the all get executed at starting a new terminal session | 19:42 |
| Wazzzaaa | .profile invokes .basrh | 19:42 |
| nabukadnezar43 | i use up to date ubuntu 9.04 | 19:42 |
| dajhorn | nabukadnezar43: Brand new model, eh? Did it ever work as expected, or has it always been broken? | 19:42 |
| grawity | AvonGenesis: There isn't much to clean either. Ubuntu, like most other Linux distributions, uses a "package manager" to install and remove software - the packages can easily be removed. And everything pretty much goes to their own places. | 19:42 |
| dehqan | good day every body , while making local repository ,if one package is in 2 different versions in the folder , dpkg-scanpackages will add lower version of that package in the list , is it possible to add lower version in the list ? | 19:42 |
| grawity | Wazzzaaa: ~/.profile is only exec'd for login shells | 19:43 |
| nabukadnezar43 | no, it works well with windows | 19:43 |
| ab2qik | so does everyone normally have vista followed by ub? If so, why does this guide recommend ub followed by vista: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot | 19:43 |
| AvonGenesis | grawity: Alright, thanks for your help :D | 19:43 |
| mbeierl | coreyman: short of running windows in a virtual machine, I think crossover is the closest you're going to get. | 19:43 |
| dajhorn | nabukadnezar43: Has it always been broken with Ubuntu? | 19:43 |
| nabukadnezar43 | it worked well with ubuntu 8.04 as well | 19:43 |
| grawity | Wazzzaaa: And if you add the [ if -n "$SSH_CONNECTION" ]; thing to it, it should work | 19:43 |
| Wazzzaaa | ok, i'll test it | 19:43 |
| nabukadnezar43 | no i just had problems with 8.10 and 9.04 | 19:43 |
| nabukadnezar43 | both didnt shut down | 19:43 |
| dajhorn | nabukadnezar43: Upgrade or fresh install? | 19:43 |
| nabukadnezar43 | fresh | 19:44 |
| ab2qik | HobbleAlong, so does everyone normally have vista followed by ub? If so, why does this guide recommend ub followed by vista: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot | 19:44 |
| HobbleAlong | ab2qik: are you starting from scratch or trying to fix what you have? | 19:44 |
| dajhorn | nabukadnezar43: Bummer. That makes it a difficult problem. | 19:44 |
| dehqan | good day every body , while making local repository ,if one package is in 2 different versions in the folder , dpkg-scanpackages will add lower version of that package in the list , is it possible to add higher version in the list ? | 19:44 |
| dajhorn | nabukadnezar43: I don't have any more suggestions for you. | 19:44 |
| nabukadnezar43 | well 8.04 was working like a dream | 19:44 |
| broken-eee | How can I boot my system without it resuming from previous hibernate? | 19:45 |
| nabukadnezar43 | thanks my friend | 19:45 |
| Wazzzaaa | that worked grawity thnx! | 19:45 |
| edbian | broken-eee: Choose "shut down" instead of hibernate ?? | 19:45 |
| ab2qik | HobbleAlong, i had enough of vista after it crashed. Everything was backed up and i went for ub. | 19:45 |
| urthmover | during the ubuntu installation is it possible to configure /home on its own partition? | 19:45 |
| urthmover | if so what is the reccomended size for the / partition? | 19:46 |
| broken-eee | No, I have a system that wont resume properly (I think), cannot get into it. | 19:46 |
| mnaines | ab2qik: I used to be a big Vista fanboy, too. I got tired of constantly having to feed the pig all the time, so I switched to Ubuntu | 19:46 |
| ab2qik | HobbleAlong, much time was spent understanding lvm and have it working nicely | 19:46 |
| urthmover | lol how did you become a Vista fanboy of all thing? | 19:47 |
| HobbleAlong | ab2qik: it doesn't recommend that at all. It's trying to allow you to not have to reinstall vista if you've already gone through the pain. | 19:47 |
| mnaines | urthmover: I started waaaaaay back in Windows 3.x...I know, I'm old... | 19:47 |
| urthmover | mnaines I started with DOS 2.11 pre 3.2 you aren't old enough | 19:47 |
| urthmover | lol | 19:47 |
| mnaines | urthmover: Actually, I wasn't even out of elementary school by the time I got addicted to computers | 19:48 |

| jhaig | I have a user who logged out with 'Suspend' by accident and now he cannot log back in again. He just gets a blank screen with the mouse pointer. It appears that somewhere, it thinks he has a suspended session. Has anyone seen this before, and know how to fix it? Ubuntu 9.04. | 19:53 |

| Jackiz | what command will download and instal PyGame? | 19:54 |
| ab2qik | HobbleAlong, It talks about the positions of innner/outer cylinders on the drive. | 19:54 |
| HobbleAlong | ab2qik: If anyone can notice that they *are* a computer so why bother. | 19:55 |
| ab2qik | HobbleAlong, The speed of the disk relative to the head is larger at the disk outer edge than near the center of the disk. Therefore rotating disks may have read/write rate 60 MB/sec at the cylinders with lowest numbers (near the outer edge), but only 30-40 MB/sec at cylinders with highest numbers (near the center). | 19:55 |

| mnaines | ab2qik: I would hold off on Vista until you upgrade the RAM...As you sit right now, Vista would use up all your available resources before you could get Ubuntu installed | 20:24 |
| lexr | or, suggest me a program that can put headers and footer above the margin... that will work too :) | 20:24 |
| tavi | add remove [rograms | 20:24 |
| Jeruvy | ReaperFromHell: you should ask in #ubuntu+1 thanks. | 20:24 |
| dajhorn | zroysch: Way-back, you could "overclock" a CRT monitor and cook it. If the video card isn't getting a EDID returned properly, then you could be mode limited. | 20:24 |
| ab2qik | maines : drive is 250gb | 20:25 |
| Jackiz | dutchbuntu: ok, ill try there. thanks :) | 20:25 |
| ReaperFromHell | thanks Jeruvy | 20:25 |
| zroysch | dajhorn: i thought crt's died in the 80s. this is an lcd | 20:25 |
| thingy | tavi: pastebin output of glxinfo | 20:25 |
| amews_aj | Thought this channel was nice and helpful, always been like that, but certainly not the case. At least not all obviously. | 20:25 |
| Flannel | mnaines, ab2qik: Other OSes have nothing to do with booting from a liveCD | 20:25 |
| dajhorn | zroysch: Correct, but Ubuntu is well behaved, and thinking "better safe than sorry". | 20:25 |
| mickster04 | amews_aj, what do u mean? | 20:25 |
| dajhorn | zroysch: Rather, what if you were using a CRT? You wouldn't want that to happen. | 20:26 |
| amews_aj | mickster04, "learn how to ask", "die" - isn't exactly friendly comments | 20:26 |
| tavi | http://paste.ubuntu.com/259455/ | 20:26 |
| Flannel | amews_aj: /etc/init.d/networking restart | 20:26 |
| thingy | amews_aj: make use of the ignore feature on irc to ignore people like that! | 20:26 |
| mnaines | Flannel: Clearly you did not read...He is trying to set up a dual-boot configuration and he's wondering how to go about telling Grub how to find the MBR after installing Vista alongside Ubuntu | 20:26 |
| Flannel | zroysch: Please be polite. | 20:26 |
| zroysch | i'm just trying to imagine how much variation you could possibly have in a 15pin vga cable. | 20:26 |
| mickster04 | amews_aj, ? who said that? report them? | 20:26 |
| amews_aj | mickster04, zroysch said that | 20:27 |
| dajhorn | zroysch: If you want to learn more, then try the read-edid or xrandr programs. My guess is that they are misidentifying the display. | 20:27 |
| amews_aj | Flannel, What will that do exactly? What will be restarted? To me it sounds like more than interface? | 20:27 |
| Flannel | mnaines: How would Vista use resources before he could install Ubuntu? He's installing it from a liveCD, Vista isn't running. | 20:27 |
| pratik_narain | can i install additional packages such as gparted from jaunty cd after installing the base system. | 20:27 |
| Flannel | amews_aj: networking will be restarted. | 20:27 |
| mickster04 | amews_aj, well ive been on and off here often and have never seen him before.... he is obviously not your average person here... sorry youve had that ecperience tho...:( | 20:27 |
| Flannel | pratik_narain: The alternate CD has a repository on it, the desktop CD doesn't. | 20:28 |
| amews_aj | Flannel, as far as I remember you can do something like x11 or gnome to restart the interface. | 20:28 |
| Flannel | amews_aj: Define "interface" | 20:28 |
| thingy | tavi: do you see? from your latest pastebin, you do not have any opengl modes available. What graphics card do you have on that box? | 20:28 |
| amews_aj | Flannel, GUI | 20:28 |
| zroysch | Flannel: he has continuously failed to do so. | 20:28 |
| mnaines | Flannel: Do you know anything about Windows at all? I spent $2,500 on a quad-core tower with 8GB of RAM solely because of Vista | 20:28 |
| Flannel | amews_aj: Ah, that's the wrong term. | 20:28 |
| juracircarvalho | olá boa tarde | 20:28 |
| tavi | what box? | 20:28 |
| thingy | tavi: also add my name to the start of your reply else I'll miss it! | 20:28 |
| tavi | 8600 | 20:28 |
| tavi | ok | 20:28 |
| Flannel | zroysch: That doesn't mean you get to be rude. | 20:29 |
| IdleOne | Flannel: there is a factoid that leads to a wiki page explaining linux permission. do you remember the trigger? | 20:29 |
| thingy | tavi: nvidia geforce 8600? | 20:29 |
| tavi | yes | 20:29 |
| Flannel | amews_aj: "interfaces" is a networking thing. You want to restart the GUI. | 20:29 |
| tavi | fx | 20:29 |
| mickster04 | thingy, lol:D | 20:29 |
| Flannel | !permissions | IdleOne | 20:29 |
| ubottu | IdleOne: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 20:29 |
| kripso | /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_min_freq and /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/cpuinfo_min_freq need to be changed, how do i do that? | 20:29 |
| IdleOne | Flannel: guess I need to learn how to spell :) thank you | 20:29 |
| diamantino | hallo | 20:29 |
| juracircarvalho | pessoal sou novo com esse sistema | 20:29 |
| amews_aj | Flannel, I see, however isn't that even possible when connected to a machine using vpn and ssh ? Can I get any GUI? | 20:29 |
| ejv | $2500? | 20:30 |
| * ejv laughs out loud | 20:30 | |
| Fragsworth | how do you type special characters in Ubuntu? (e.g. in Windows it's ALT+####) | 20:30 |
| mickster04 | Fragsworth, same | 20:30 |
| mnaines | ejv: That's how much parts cost to keep feeding the Vista pig... | 20:30 |
| Flannel | amews_aj: Depending on what version you're using, you can ctrl-alt-backspace and that'll restart. Except that's been disabled in 9.04. You can do a few other things, but restarting gdm is likely what you want to do. /etc/init.d/gdm restart | 20:30 |
| Fragsworth | mickster04: it doesn't seem to work | 20:30 |
| ejv | lol | 20:31 |
| mickel | hey does anyone have incredibly slow internet in the newest Xubuntu release? | 20:31 |
| ibuclaw | Fragsworth, depends what type of keyboard layout/out you have, I think. | 20:31 |
| amews_aj | Flannel, Possible when connected remotely? | 20:31 |
| mickster04 | Fragsworth, if its on a laprop i wont... | 20:31 |
| diamantino | i have 2 hdd. One primary with vista and second dinamic with 3 partiton. One partiton so free. Can i install ubuntu on free partiton which situated on dinamic disk? | 20:31 |
| ejv | xubuntu has tiered internet, the smarter you are, the faster it goes, it's tubes-drm | 20:31 |
| Flannel | mnaines: Please stop being offtopic. Stop trying to explain to him that he doesn't want to dual boot with vista, and stop spreading false information about how computers work when dualbooting. | 20:31 |
| mickster04 | Fragsworth, if its on a laptop i wont... | 20:31 |
| ibuclaw | Fragsworth, ie: I have British keyboard, and can use AltGr+<Key> to insert a special character | 20:31 |
| Flannel | amews_aj: restarting gdm is possible, yes. sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart (unless they're using kdm, in which case its kdm instead of gdm) | 20:31 |
| thingy | tavi: have you enabled the use of nvidia hardware drivers? if you don't know, follow this guide --> http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Jaunty#Install_Latest_Nvidia.2FATI_drivers | 20:31 |
| mnaines | Flannel: Its not my fault people don't give others the disadvantages of certain programs or configurations | 20:32 |
| pratik_narain | Flannel: but gparted is present on the cd and not after installation | 20:32 |
| tavi | thingy: yes | 20:32 |
| mnaines | Flannel: I'm just trying to tell people the whole truth about Vista | 20:32 |
| diamantino | vista can boot with ubuntu if u have 2 hdd. U can change main hdd in bios to start system | 20:32 |
| tavi | i ahd have several problems about this | 20:32 |
| tavi | but i resolved | 20:32 |
| Flannel | mnaines: This is not the place for it. Especially when you're lying about it. Consider this your last warning. | 20:32 |
| bnijk | how do i disable a daemon in this distro | 20:33 |
| bnijk | from loading at boot | 20:33 |
| amews_aj | Flannel, though if someone is using that machine it will disturb them ? | 20:33 |
| Flannel | pratik_narain: That's correct. But what are you going to use gparted for anyway? You'd likely need to do it from a liveCD | 20:33 |
| niko | bnijk: install rcconf | 20:33 |
| Flannel | amews_aj: Yes. | 20:33 |
| mnaines | Flannel: Its not my job to blow sunshine up people's ringpieces | 20:33 |
| thingy | tavi: I don't think you have...also your pastebin output for glxinfo seems incomplete. Do this : "glxinfo > ~/glxinfo.txt" and pastebin the contents of the ~/glxinfo.txt file | 20:33 |
| bnijk | install rcconf | 20:33 |
| bnijk | i have to install rc.conf??? | 20:33 |
| ejv | lolz | 20:34 |
| amews_aj | Flannel, no gdm or kdm there, actually it is redhat. Just know this channel is usually helpful.. Looking for something else on red hat? | 20:34 |
| thingy | tavi: You are not using the hardware accelerated nvidia drivers and thats why you do not have any opengl modes available! | 20:34 |

| Flannel | amews_aj: #rhel I believe is the channel that'll be able to help you | 20:35 |
| giiker | simran: it does | 20:35 |
| mickster04 | simran, they have to appear in the address bar... | 20:35 |
| ActionParsnip | simran: should do, you can always install favicon picker 2 and set your own | 20:36 |
| thingy | tavi: You posted the same pastebin output as before..this is not complete! and no you do not have nvidia hardware drivers in use. Forget what the Hardware drives applet is saying | 20:36 |

| giiker | simran: or they dont have one, in other words | 20:38 |
| mickster04 | Lademord, replace the harddrives///:/ | 20:38 |
| Lademord | It's telling me that my master boot record has 'bad sectors' | 20:38 |
| ibuclaw | tavi, cat ~/glxinfo.txt | 20:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Lademord: boot to live cd or root recovery mode and run fsck | 20:38 |
| maco | Lademord: by a new hard drive. FAST. | 20:38 |
| thingy | tavi: 1. You are going to have to resolve your nvidia hardware drivers issue before opencity will work. To test if nvidia drivers are installed and working, look at the output of glxinfo. 2. To install the nvidia drivers manually, undo what you did in the hardware drivers (i.e. deselect the use of nvidia hardware drivers) and follow the guide on setting up nvidia drivers manually. | 20:38 |
| thingy | http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Jaunty#Installation_of_ATI_and_nVidia_Graphics_drivers | 20:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Lademord: and get a new drie. Make sure your backups are recent | 20:39 |
| maco | Lademord: also, you should probably not use the drive too much if its on its last legs. just take a backup and then dont touch it. the more you use it, the worse it'll get | 20:39 |
| Lademord | ActionParsnip, how do I run fsck? Just Terminal -> 'fsck' ? | 20:39 |
| Lademord | My backup is from yesterday :) | 20:39 |
| ActionParsnip | !fsck > Lademord | 20:39 |

| Tesseracter_ | hello, im trying to get wireless working in sweden on my lenovo t42 | 20:39 |
| simran | If i have mplayer+smplayer installed, is there anypoint in downloading w32codecs/ non-free-codecs ?? | 20:39 |
| Lademord | maco, problem is that it's the only internal hard drive I've got. Both XP and Ubuntu is on there | 20:40 |
| ActionParsnip | simran: sure, get em in | 20:40 |
| iliketofrolic666 | i can't delete something even with a file browser opened as root | 20:40 |
| tavi | http://paste.ubuntu.com/259462/ | 20:40 |
| iliketofrolic666 | it is a drag and drop mp3 player | 20:40 |
| simran | ActionParsnip: why? | 20:40 |
| ActionParsnip | iliketofrolic666: sudo rm <thing> | 20:40 |
| maco | Lademord: then go buy another drive today and copy your stuff over because that one is toast | 20:40 |
| simran | ActionParsnip: wont they conflict? | 20:40 |
| ActionParsnip | simran: helps if yuo want to play something you dont have codecs for | 20:40 |
| iliketofrolic666 | rm cannot remove -----read only file sytem | 20:41 |
| simran | ActionParsnip: wont they conflict with mplayers codecs | 20:41 |
| ActionParsnip | simran: only one will get used | 20:41 |
| simran | ok | 20:41 |
| thingy | tavi: 1. I can't help you if do not paste the entire output of glxinfo. 2. The instructions of installing nvidia drivers manually are generic and so ubuntu version doesn't matter | 20:41 |
| giiker | wau never heard a mbr having bad sectors... | 20:41 |
| Lademord | maco, okay. Any tips on buying a good HDD? :) I know it's gotta be SATA, but other than that I have no idea if any aspects are important | 20:41 |
| simran | ActionParsnip: what other codec package do you suggest | 20:41 |
| Lademord | Also, wtf are 'bad sectors'? | 20:41 |
| ActionParsnip | iliketofrolic666: then you need to remount the partition writable | 20:41 |
| maco | Lademord: higher RPMs = more faster | 20:41 |
| iliketofrolic666 | how? | 20:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Lademord: they are parts of the drive that are physically damaged | 20:41 |
| maco | Lademord: 5400 RPM is standard, 7200RPM is what you'll find on nicer consumer drives | 20:41 |
| giiker | bad sectors, it means that data cant be written on it | 20:41 |
| tavi | thingy: i gave it | 20:42 |
| kermit | where can i set how often hald polls things? hal-system-killswitch-get-power is being run every 6 seconds, what is that? | 20:42 |
| ActionParsnip | maco: or 15,000 rpm if yuo get scsi :D | 20:42 |
| maco | ActionParsnip: i said "consumer" not "server" :P | 20:42 |
| pratik_narain | Flannel: actually i am just asking. besides can i look into the cd for some other packages/software. | 20:42 |
| tavi | http://paste.ubuntu.com/259466/ | 20:42 |
| Lademord | maco, so SCSI would be overkill for regular home use I reckon? | 20:42 |
| ibuclaw | tavi, that looks nothing like the output of glxinfo to me ... you usually get around 300+ lines of output | 20:42 |
| ActionParsnip | maco: some folks use quad core i7 chips in a desktop. hardly consumer, more server wouldnt yuo say | 20:42 |
| maco | Lademord: SCSI wouldnt work in a normal computer | 20:43 |
| Tesseracter_ | hello, im trying to get wireless working in sweden on my lenovo t42, i already modified my /etc/modprobe.d/options, and now the networks dont show up anymore. | 20:43 |
| linuxninja | Lademord: SCSI is dead | 20:43 |
| iliketofrolic666 | how do i remount the mp3 player as writable? | 20:43 |
| maco | linuxninja: eh? scsi is whats in servers | 20:43 |
| Lademord | thanks | 20:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Lademord: if you need drive speed then scsi can help. You need special hardware for scsi | 20:43 |
| maco | Lademord: ive had poor luck with Western Digital drives before, so i'd say go for Seagate | 20:43 |
| * Lademord knows nothing of standards | 20:43 | |
| linuxninja | maco: Not any more... New servers have SATA | 20:43 |
| thingy | tavi: pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file | 20:43 |
| tavi | ibuclaw: that's all | 20:43 |
| ActionParsnip | maco: snap on the WD drives | 20:43 |
| maco | linuxninja: really? | 20:43 |
| ibuclaw | tavi, unless of course nvidia isn't working :) | 20:43 |
| linuxninja | maco: Yup! | 20:43 |
| linuxninja | maco: SATA is just as fast as SCSI | 20:43 |
| bucky | tavi, what does grep nv /etc/X11/xorg.conf say? | 20:43 |
| user_ | slm | 20:44 |

| giiker | get the 10000 rpm if it is for a desktop | 20:44 |

| ActionParsnip | maco: i buy seagate or maxtor if i want something cheap and cheerful | 20:44 |

| tavi | bucky: i think ib tried a few time ago | 20:47 |
| bucky | ok | 20:47 |

| ibuclaw | tavi, fyi: 185.18.31 ... manually compiled drivers aren't really supported here. | 20:51 |
| t0s | i deleted one of my desktop panels, is there a way to get the regular ubuntu theme back to normal? | 20:51 |
| ibuclaw | but nvm... | 20:51 |
| ActionParsnip | !resetpanel | 20:51 |
| ubottu | To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 20:51 |
| tavi | ibuclaw: i think i don't understand | 20:52 |
| vadim | Hi All! | 20:52 |

| dragon | digitalbuddy: could you post a screenshot of what it looks like? | 20:53 |
| vadim | I have problem with using Pidgin for ICQ ... | 20:53 |
| dragon | !imagebin| digitalbuddy | 20:53 |
| ubottu | digitalbuddy: Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button. Want to show us a screenshot of your problem? Upload an image to http://tinyurl.com/imagebin and post a link to it. | 20:53 |
| mickster04 | vadum maybe try xchat? | 20:53 |
| ubuntistas | any clue why i cannot watch videos at apple's site? | 20:53 |
| LinuX2half | hi, today I experience a major glitch to my internet connection | 20:53 |
| ibuclaw | tavi, did you download the nvidia drivers from the nvidia website? | 20:53 |
| dragon | vadim: what's the problem? | 20:53 |
| tavi | yes | 20:53 |
| thingy | tavi: The nvidia setup looks ok...it might that particular version of the nvidia driver -->169.12 Have you tried any other version of the nvidia driver available in ubuntu? | 20:54 |
| dotblank | hey how do I pipe both stderr and stdout? | 20:54 |
| tavi | or i didn't knoiw well | 20:54 |
| LinuX2half | The computer had established a connection with the router but I can't access the internet | 20:54 |
| tavi | thingy: yesss | 20:54 |
| ibuclaw | tavi, and what does hardware drivers say that NViDIA is installed? | 20:54 |
| Lademord | maco, on second thought... The comments mention something about the drive having a 'high beeptone' of sorts... how is the noise from your drive? | 20:54 |
| vadim | I have next erro for Pidgin ... Gtk: gtk_widget_destroy: assertion `GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed | 20:54 |
| tavi | and i have had a lot of problems whitr that | 20:54 |
| maco | Lademord: i only use it for backups but i dont think its any noisier than my last backup drive | 20:55 |
| ubuntistas | any clue why i cannot watch videos at apple's site? | 20:55 |
| dragon | dotblank: redirect stderr to stdout, and pipe normally - http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prog-Intro-HOWTO-3.html | 20:55 |
| tavi | ibuclaw: 4d acceleration enabled and running | 20:55 |
| tavi | 3d | 20:55 |
| ibuclaw | :| | 20:55 |
| maco | ubuntistas: because they block everything thats not quicktime. because they're jerks. | 20:55 |
| dragon | !enter | tavi | 20:55 |
| ubottu | tavi: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 20:55 |
| StupidWeasel | Humm, newbie question but is there a copy command that verifies the files have been copied correctly afterwards? A crc would be enough. | 20:55 |
| LinuX2half | Can someone help me with my internet connection glitch | 20:55 |
| ibuclaw | tavi, that is VERY VERY bad... you have a driver conflict occuring here. | 20:55 |
| maco | ubuntistas: you can use wget to download them if you give it a quicktime user agent string like "-U Quicktime/screwapple.0" | 20:55 |
| LinuX2half | last time I'm connected to the internet but I can't access it | 20:56 |
| StupidWeasel | Copying locally (ie: cp) | 20:56 |
| tavi | ibuclaw: dont know | 20:56 |
| tavi | the point is that even copunter strike i couldn't play | 20:56 |
| bobbycheetah | hello. anyone use blackberry with ubuntu? | 20:56 |
| tavi | and others games | 20:56 |
| tavi | and other games | 20:56 |
| ibuclaw | tavi, for the time being, uninstall nvidia. | 20:57 |
| tavi | what? | 20:57 |
| maco | ubuntistas: and then youd play it in totem or whatever video player you have | 20:57 |
| urthmover | if I'm going to have a very large /home what is the reccomended size for / | 20:57 |
| ibuclaw | tavi, sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup | 20:57 |
| ubuntistas | maco any other solution | 20:57 |
| ibuclaw | tavi, sudo nvidia-uninstall | 20:57 |
| tavi | ibuclaw: no | 20:57 |
| urthmover | will have all the other mount points | 20:57 |
| IdleOne | urthmover: 10GB is plenty | 20:57 |
| tavi | i tried somethiong like that | 20:57 |
| urthmover | ok thanks Idle | 20:57 |
| tavi | severeal thimes | 20:57 |
| tavi | and didn;t work | 20:58 |
| maco | ubuntistas: this just started like 3 days ago, but there's a patch in existence to make gstreamer identify as quicktime. it hasnt been merged anywhere yet though | 20:58 |
| ubuntistas | how can i enable chromium's videos with command i forgot | 20:58 |
| ibuclaw | tavi, there is a way to install nvidia manually on Ubuntu ... I wrote a guide here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1125400 | 20:58 |
| dragon | StupidWeasel: `rsync` does this quite well. You can use -n option for a dry run, so it would only list the differences. Besides, `diff` might just solve your problem. Check `man diff` | 20:59 |
| ibuclaw | tavi, trust me, ubuntu + nvidia does NOT play nice together if jockey is interfering with manually compiled drivers too. | 20:59 |
| StupidWeasel | Mmm yes I was thinking rsync might be the choice | 20:59 |
| dragon | tavi, you're making it hard to read the conversation. Can't you limit the use of the Enter key? | 20:59 |
| LinuX2half | wireless network available and "connected" but no internet access | 20:59 |
| DaZ | ibuclaw, ? ;o | 20:59 |
| HobbleAlong | Lademord: I use these; quiet, inexpensive and so far, reliable - http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/PID-MX23454(ME).aspx | 21:00 |
| StupidWeasel | Thanks for the reply dragon :) | 21:00 |
| d0htem | i have some security updates, being held back, how can i find out what is keeping the updates back | 21:00 |
| MTeck | StupidWeasel: what are you tryin gto do? | 21:00 |
| ibuclaw | DaZ, what's up? :) | 21:00 |
| dragon | LinuX2half: are you able to ping? If not, could you paste the output of ifconfig in a pastebin? | 21:00 |
| dragon | StupidWeasel: no probs :) | 21:00 |
| merlin2049er | hey what's the root password for ubuntu? | 21:00 |
| tavi | ibuclaw: say to me what driver install that help? | 21:00 |
| MTeck | !root | merlin2049er | 21:00 |
| ubottu | merlin2049er: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 21:00 |
| ubuntistas | how can i enable chromium's videos with command i forgot? | 21:00 |
| ActionParsnip | LinuX2half: can you ping www.bmezine,com, can you ping 38.99.130.180 | 21:00 |
| kj4 | merlin2049er: it's random | 21:01 |
| urthmover | is ext4 reccomended yet? or are there still data loss concerns? | 21:01 |
| Guest31434 | maco: samsung mp3 portable player | 21:01 |
| brandon | Hello, for some reason sudo apt-get install will not download | 21:01 |
| MTeck | urthmover: Karmic will do new partitions with Ext4 by default | 21:01 |
| LinuX2half | dragon, http://paste.ubuntu.com/259478/ | 21:01 |
| HobbleAlong | merlin2049er: root is not set up by default; use sudo <command> | 21:01 |
| brandon | any idea's why? | 21:01 |
| merlin2049er | ok , i've got vuze trying to install a plugin but it always fails (because the owner is root) | 21:01 |
| urthmover | ok thanks MTeck | 21:01 |
| MTeck | brandon: can you give us the output? | 21:01 |
| tavi | ibuclaw: nvidia glx new ? nvidia glx dev? cause neither one worked when i putted them | 21:01 |
| DaZ | ibuclaw, i'm was curious why they don't but now i think i've missed something <: | 21:01 |
| ibuclaw | tavi, 185 drivers are perfectly fine (I've tested them extensively, and now use the 190 drivers). But if you want to install them, use the guide I posted. | 21:01 |
| dragon | LinuX2half: try to ping 192.168.0.1 | 21:02 |
| tavi | ibuclaw: nvidia glx new ? nvidia glx dev? cause neither one worked when i putted them | 21:02 |
| MTeck | urthmover: I've been using it for a long time now - I consider it very stable | 21:02 |
| tavi | i had have bad resolution and other problems whit it | 21:02 |
| losher | urthmover: ext4 is safe enough for data. I don't recommend it yet though because it's harder to debug... | 21:02 |
| urthmover | ok I'll choose it thanks MTeck | 21:02 |
| brandon | MTeck: http://paste.ubuntu.com/259480/ | 21:02 |
| ubuntistas | how can i enable chromium's videos with command i forgot? | 21:02 |
| SirStan | losher: when was the last time you "debugged" your filesystem? | 21:02 |
| urthmover | oh that makes sense losher | 21:02 |
| tavi | ibuclaw: and others please remind where i spoked cause i go to eat | 21:02 |
| ibuclaw | DaZ, the nvidia driver is very temperamental :) | 21:02 |
| LinuX2half | ActionParsnip: yes right now but before its not responding | 21:03 |
| thingy | ibuclaw: that guide is pretty good! | 21:03 |
| DaZ | ibuclaw, mine isn't <: | 21:03 |
| dragon | brandon: which version of ubuntu? | 21:03 |
| Lademord | HobbleAlong, is it the same as this one? http://www.edbpriser.dk/Product/Details.aspx?sp=all&pid=491474 | 21:03 |
| LinuX2half | dragon, yes it responded | 21:03 |
| losher | SirStan: every time someone comes on this channel saying "my system won't boot"... | 21:03 |
| Lademord | (second tab, 'Specifikationer', shows specs) | 21:03 |
| brandon | dragon: Ubuntu 9.04 | 21:03 |
| ibuclaw | DaZ, it cannot cope with 2 installations of itself ... you get an API error ... | 21:03 |
| LinuX2half | Thats because I can access the internet right NOW but before its not working | 21:03 |
| brandon | oh nvm | 21:03 |
| brandon | i got it | 21:03 |
| dragon | LinuX2half: then you are connected to your router properly. Try navigating to 192.168.0.1 in a browser and see if the settings there help. | 21:03 |
| ubuntistas | how can i enable chromium's videos with command i forgot? | 21:04 |
| DaZ | i've never had two installations | 21:04 |
| brandon | i needed to use sudo apt-get update | 21:04 |
| ibuclaw | DaZ, lets say you compile 185 drivers, but libglx is still 180 because jockey changed the link. Very Very bad :) | 21:04 |
| DaZ | one is enough usually <: | 21:04 |
| dragon | brandon: package xchat should be there, unless you disabled "universe" repository. | 21:04 |
| dragon | !info xchat | 21:04 |

| pisecx | hi, what is the most correct method to install e17? | 21:04 |
| HobbleAlong | Lademord: yes, that's the one. | 21:04 |
| ibuclaw | thingy, ty ... ;) | 21:04 |
| MTeck | brandon: You need to enable that repossitory | 21:04 |
| pisecx | I have found a lot of different manuals and each of them contain at least one error | 21:04 |
| Lademord | Thanks, and there' | 21:04 |
| IdleOne | pisecx: there are instructions on enlightenment.org | 21:04 |
| brandon | MTeck: i did sudo apt-get update and it works now thank-you. | 21:05 |
| Lademord | HobbleAlong, Thanks, and there's no loud beeptones you say? | 21:05 |
| ibuclaw | pisecx, I recommend installing an Ubuntu derivative OS | 21:05 |
| LinuX2half | dragon, ummm I'm not sure about editing the settings because I'm a novice with routers and last time my parents had to restore the settings | 21:05 |
| MTeck | brandon: oh - I guess it moved repos then - ok | 21:05 |
| DaZ | ibuclaw, i usually package them before installing,anyway, now i know why it doesn't work like it should for some, thx <: | 21:05 |
| pisecx | ibuclaw: what is it? | 21:05 |
| ubuntistas | how can i enable chromium's videos with command i forgot? | 21:05 |
| ubuntistas | how can i enable chromium's videos with command i forgot? | 21:05 |
| dragon | LinuX2half: ouch! don't change the settings then. Are other computers connected to the internet? | 21:05 |
| ubuntistas | how can i enable chromium's videos with command i forgot? | 21:05 |
| pisecx | ibuclaw: just a different ubuntu distribution? | 21:05 |
| FloodBot2 | ubuntistas: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 21:05 |
| ibuclaw | pisecx, yes | 21:05 |
| dragon | !troll | ubuntistas | 21:06 |
| ubottu | ubuntistas: trolling / trollish behaviour is behaviour that is considered annoying by other channel users, this includes going offtopic, asking the same question time and again getting answered and not acknowledging the answer, and these are not the only ways behaviour can be considered trolling, please see /msg ubottu guidelines - if this applies to you, you may find yourself outside the channel | 21:06 |
| ibuclaw | pisecx, ie: OpenGEU http://opengeu.intilinux.com/Download.html | 21:06 |
| MTeck | !patience | ubuntistas | 21:06 |
| ubottu | ubuntistas: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. | 21:06 |
| ewsubach | anyone know of software that is able to make error correcting codes when you burn cds? | 21:06 |
| LinuX2half | dragon yes, we share the router with the neighbors | 21:06 |
| ibuclaw | pisecx, or MoonOS: http://www.moonos.co.cc/ | 21:06 |
| pisecx | ibuclaw: looking video now. can I get the same effect just installing e17 on ubuntu? | 21:07 |
| thingy | ewsubach: dvdisaster (http://linux.softpedia.com/get/Utilities/dvdisaster-1087.shtml) | 21:07 |
| ibuclaw | pisecx, I think that both OS's are still running on Intrepid though ... OpenGEU doesn't seems that active ... and MoonOS is currently planning on what to do for it's Jaunty version. | 21:07 |
| dragon | LinuX2half: are you able to see the router's interface when you go to http://192.168.0.1/ ? | 21:07 |
| losher | ewsubach: um, something like dvdisaster (www.dvdisaster.com)? | 21:07 |
| ibuclaw | pisecx, yes ... but that takes quite a bit of configuring | 21:07 |
| pisecx | ibuclaw: hm | 21:07 |
| pisecx | ibuclaw: what should I configure? | 21:07 |
| ibuclaw | pisecx, if you don't know your way around e17, you can get lost very easily | 21:07 |

| pisecx | ibuclaw: I like to investigate new features | 21:08 |
| ibuclaw | pisecx, I'm not the one to ask. I've only used e17 on LiveCDs to see how it is doing. | 21:08 |
| nh2 | hi, is there a PPA for newer fglrx drivers for jaunty? | 21:08 |
| pisecx | ibuclaw: any way, thanks for the link | 21:08 |
| LinuX2half | dragon, I mean if they aren't connected to the internet | 21:08 |
| MTeck | ubuntistas: /join #chromium | 21:08 |

| pisecx | ibuclaw: because I collect different ubuntu's =) | 21:08 |
| NSR | can sum1 help me make windows drivers work on linux? | 21:08 |
| ibuclaw | pisecx, MoonOS is probably the better one to look into. | 21:08 |
| ibuclaw | (at least, for the time being) | 21:08 |
| LinuX2half | dragon, yes I see the login and password box | 21:09 |
| thingy | ubuntistas: I assume you mean enable plugins --> http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-enable-flash-support-for-google-chromium-browser.html | 21:09 |

| merlin2049er | what's the best way to do that? | 21:09 |
| g0thca | hey guys, noob question here, how can i compile from ubuntu? | 21:09 |
| Lademord | Cool. I'll try it then | 21:09 |
| sopel | JOIN #Poznan | 21:09 |
| g0thca | like if i wanted to compile screen from ports like in freebsd | 21:09 |
| sopel | :P | 21:09 |
| merlin2049er | compile what | 21:09 |
| thingy | merlin2049er: in gui or on the command line (sudo cp source dest) ? | 21:10 |
| MTeck | NSR: You can use that for other drivers as well iirc | 21:10 |
| dragon | LinuX2half: then you're connected to the router properly. Is the router really connected to the internet? Are there any rules in the router blocking unauthorized machines? based on the mac addresses? | 21:10 |
| maco | g0thca: umm well you can still get source tarballs and do the usual ./configure && make && sudo make install | 21:10 |
| merlin2049er | what are u compiling? | 21:10 |
| sopel | halo" | 21:10 |
| sopel | ?? | 21:10 |
| minche | join #amarok | 21:10 |
| maco | g0thca: but ubuntu uses binary packages, unlike ports | 21:10 |
| cornet | g0thca: everything is pre-built binaries | 21:10 |
| dragon | g0thca: download the program you wish to compile, and check their README file, usually included in the package. | 21:10 |
| g0thca | i dont have anything in mind now to compile.. maybe 'screen' ... i just started using ubuntu | 21:10 |
| NSR | tht'll work with smartnav? | 21:10 |
| sopel | servlist | 21:11 |
| g0thca | alright ill do that | 21:11 |
| cornet | g0thca: jsut run sudo apt-get install screen | 21:11 |
| dragon | !packages | g0thca | 21:11 |
| ubottu | g0thca: You can browse and search for Ubuntu packages using !Synaptic, !Adept, "apt-cache search <keywords or regex>", or online at http://packages.ubuntu.com - Ubuntu has about 20000 packages available, so please *search* for an official package before installing things in awkward ways! | 21:11 |
| maco | g0thca: why do you want to compile instead of just using the binary packages? | 21:11 |
| digitalbuddy | ubottu: the problem of gray icon fixed .. but there is another problem when i sign up its says sign up failed there was a network problem while signing up for your account .. please check your network configuration or try again later | 21:11 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 21:11 |
| maco | digitalbuddy: thats a bot | 21:11 |
| LinuX2half | dragon, yes if it isn't then the neighbors will complain and I don't know about the rules or anything because my parents are a novice as well so they wouldn't dare to change anything | 21:11 |
| g0thca | apt-get | 21:11 |
| MTeck | Why can I not burn a 4.4GB iso to a 4.7GB DVD...... | 21:11 |
| g0thca | thats similar to pkg_add for example? | 21:11 |
| maco | g0thca: yes | 21:12 |
| ActionParsnip | MTeck: does the ISO MD5 check as OK? | 21:12 |
| g0thca | maco, well, im just asking still =) | 21:12 |
| maco | g0thca: or ummm hmm like pkg-get on solaris? or yum on fedora/redhat | 21:12 |
| g0thca | i ssh'd earlier to my ubuntu and wanted to install screen but didnt know how to, thats why im asking | 21:12 |
| MTeck | ActionParsnip: it looks good - i created the iso myself though | 21:12 |
| digitalbuddy | maco: whats a bot? | 21:12 |
| maco | digitalbuddy: ubottu isnt a human | 21:12 |
| maco | digitalbuddy: ubottu is a computer that says things when we say certain codewords | 21:13 |
| losher | MTeck: because there is overhead which takes up space. In practice, the usable space is nearer to 4.3GB | 21:13 |
| urthmover | MTeck: hmm I'm doing a fresh install of jaunty64 and choosing 10240MB for the size of / I get an error message saying its too small. What is the minimum HD size I can set / to? | 21:13 |
| ubuntistas | any clue why i cannot watch videos at apple's site? | 21:13 |
| LinuX2half | dragon, I suspect that other people in my neighborhood knew the password and accessing it but my parents only tell the password within this house so........I don't think the router would be much of a problem in this case | 21:13 |
| ibuclaw | ubuntistas, they are most likely in .mov (or quicktime) format | 21:13 |
| maco | ubuntistas: i already explained to you | 21:13 |
| maco | ibuclaw: no, they check the user agent | 21:13 |
| ActionParsnip | !ics > ActionParsnip | 21:14 |
| ubottu | ActionParsnip, please see my private message | 21:14 |
| digitalbuddy | maco: can you help me | 21:14 |
| maco | ibuclaw: started blocking everything thats not quicktime a few days ago | 21:14 |
| mbrigdan | Is there a program I could use to remove a certain string from a larger block of text | 21:14 |

| maco | thingy, ubuntistas: its not a codec issue. apple is BLOCKING requests from everything but quicktime | 21:15 |

| MTeck | urthmover: I use 150MB for /boot, 2GB for swap, 10GB for /, and rest for /home for my default setup | 21:16 |
| maco | thingy, ubuntistas: top comment on there shows how you can download the .mov and watch it locally | 21:16 |
| LinuX2half | dragon, this kind of occurrence happens twice but I resolved it by re-connecting my wireless connections but this time its longer I restart my computer but its the same result, no connection even though my computer said its connected in some way. Then I shut down the computer and wait for a few minutes. So then the internet really starts working just like now. | 21:16 |
| ubuntistas | yup i have a lot of plugins in firefox thingy i have vlc plugins too which do i have to enable that has not to interfere with other plugins and make a problem? | 21:16 |

| dob1 | *safe | 21:17 |
| mickster04 | dob1, i have:D | 21:17 |
| thingy | ubuntistas: as maco says you will need to download an addon for firefox(easier this way) to change your useragent and then apple movies should work. the other way is mess with the firefox preferences settings | 21:17 |
| urthmover | dob1: yes | 21:17 |
| MTeck | dob1: I consider it to be | 21:18 |
| dob1 | ok thanks | 21:18 |

| R-C-M | hey folks, i'm trying to rebuild my /etc/group file, could someone pm me an example of theirs (provided they haven't customised it), or the one from the livecd (am currently in a net cafe so can't download it myself) | 21:18 |
| losher | MTeck: it is what it is. The rest is marketing doublespeak... | 21:18 |
| maco | thingy: im not sure if changing ff's UA would do it though. its gstreamer's UA that needs to be patched to wokr | 21:18 |
| mbrigdan | Is there a program I could use to remove a certain string from a larger block of text? | 21:18 |
| HobbleAlong | MTeck: Manufacturers call a K 1000 bytes. OS's usually call a K 1024 bytes. Manufactures like to lie about sizes 'cause it makes for better sales pitches. | 21:18 |
| thingy | maco: yeah..it would depend on what plugin handles the incoming stream/object | 21:19 |
| mermshaus | Hi! I'm looking for a remotely efficient way to capture 3D output (like a 3D game played under wine). The best I can get is about 20 FPS at a resolution of roughly 450x330 px using xvidcap. Any ideas how to do this "right"? Thanks | 21:19 |

| Hydrid | ok | 21:23 |
| mermshaus | ibuclaw: Thank you. Do you have any experience doing sth like that? I'm asking because I am not sure whether these "screencast" applications are able to record 3D at all. (Sry, I'm not familiar at all with this kind of stuff. :)) | 21:23 |
| ibuclaw | Hydrid, then type in: gksudo nautilus | 21:23 |
| popey | mermshaus: they can certainly record the desktop with compiz effects enabled, so can do 3d | 21:24 |
| popey | mermshaus: whether they can keep up with a fast moving game is another thing | 21:24 |
| Hydrid | and what that means ibuclaw?:) | 21:24 |
| digitalbuddy | mickster04: it shows p2p connect failed | 21:24 |
| Hydrid | that i run the application with sudo priviliges just for this time? | 21:25 |

| mickster04 | digitalbuddy, do you use any torrenting software because that uses p22p too | 21:28 |

| Akram | iconv should be converting the accented chars to its nearest ascii equivilant | 21:31 |

| sh4d3sl4y3r_ | Hello, can anybody give me a link to a guide to install Ubuntu from Hard Disk iso images instead of dvd/cds | 21:32 |

| Cripps | ActionParsnip, owner is "u" which is the first three bits (following the filetype bit) | 21:51 |
| ActionParsnip | spycode: no but if you use caps then you will most likely find no one will help | 21:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Cripps: chmod o+x ./file | 21:51 |
| smogattack | MTeck, yes, that worked! thanks | 21:51 |
| spycode | ActionParsnip, sorry :( i'm not using anymore | 21:51 |
| smogattack | MTeck, what does that command do? | 21:51 |
| ActionParsnip | spycode: thats cool, maybe someone can advise | 21:51 |
| Cripps | ActionParsnip, "o" is "other" ... for "other users" (man chmod) | 21:51 |

| Supersaiyan_IV | I want to create a wireless network people can connect to, can somebody pinpoint me to a good guide? | 21:51 |
| spycode | How can I enable stereo recording in ALSA? someone can help? | 21:51 |
| ibuclaw | tavi, if you want nvidia to work, you are going to have to do a clean purge. then reinstall them again | 21:51 |
| floating | how can I find out if matrox g200 is supported by linux, ubuntu | 21:52 |
| stinky | thanks ActionParsnip , and usser_ :) | 21:52 |
| stylist | Supersaiyan_IV http://www.google.com | 21:52 |
| Cripps | spycode, patience. Nobody has answered your question yet because they don't know. You don't need to re-ask your question every 3 minutes. Also, try starting at the alsa wiki. | 21:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Cripps: if you just use +x on its own, any group with read access will be given execute access, if its marked as executable then it should be runnable. You are also doing it right with the ./ notation so the $PATH is ignored | 21:52 |
| ibuclaw | tavi, this means temporarily switching to failsafe vesa driver while you get it setup again. | 21:52 |
| MTeck | smogattack: killall kills any processes that are running with that name, kill will do the same but based on a pid. If you add -9 it doesn't let the process clean up after itself the system just kills it in a very horrible way | 21:52 |
| spycode | I want to record my songs with audacity in stereo channel... but I only can see one side of stereo being used... the other is just muted... | 21:53 |
| spycode | Cripps, I've already tried :( | 21:53 |
| smogattack | MTeck, oh, i see. | 21:53 |
| Hydrid | ibuclaw i run alt+f2 nautilus and try to copy in /var/www a folder but it doesnt give me the paste command | 21:53 |
| smogattack | MTeck, thanks! I learned something new today | 21:53 |
| Cripps | spycode, tried what? | 21:53 |
| Supersaiyan_IV | stylist, ok, maybe if I put it this way i have done sudo /etc/init.d/dnsmasq restart and edited my sysctl to forward ipv4 traffic | 21:53 |

| Sirisian|Work | MTeck, but some of these I recognize and they work fine with python2.5. | 21:55 |
| spycode | Cripps, because its better than Audacity | 21:55 |
| spycode | Cripps, and it runs perfectly | 21:55 |
| Cripps | spycode, if you say so. | 21:55 |
| floating | erUSUL: that means there is a driver by default, or that I might have to install it myself? :x | 21:55 |
| spycode | Cripps, the problem with stereo is with ALSA or something else in linux sound configuration | 21:55 |
| thingy | palin1441: I did | 21:56 |
| MTeck | Sirisian|Work: first install 2.5, then see what happens if you try to remove 2.6 | 21:56 |
| Sirisian|Work | I did | 21:56 |
| Cripps | spycode, either way, there is a staggering amount of information on the ALSA wiki ... if you can't find the answer there, then you're 1) not looking hard enough or 2)not reading | 21:56 |

| spycode | Cripps, ok... I'll try to google I little more | 21:56 |
| erUSUL | floating: there is one by default. | 21:56 |
| MTeck | LinuX2half: can you ping the router? | 21:56 |
| Cripps | spycode, unless, of course, you're assuming it's an alsa problem when it's not actually an alsa problem. | 21:56 |
| Sirisian|Work | it still wants to take a bunch of packages that I use happily with 2.5 on another server. I think 2.6 is breaking this python software I use so I just wanted to see, but it looks like I can't remove it easily. | 21:56 |
| spycode | hehe | 21:57 |

| trothigar | anybody know if one has to make any concessions when running dual screen in jaunty using nvidia proprietary drivers? | 22:02 |
| LinuX2half | Mteck, why a network doesn't emit any internet activity? Is it because too much computers are stealing the bandwith | 22:02 |

| MTeck | LinuX2half: don't worry unless it happens again | 22:03 |

| LinuX2half | Mteck, well today I restarted the computer 2 times maybe 3 and it doesn't help but then shut it down. Restarted it and so it worked how come? | 22:04 |
| blip- | MindVirus: the release notes just talks about bugs and issues http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/904 | 22:04 |
| trothigar | MindVirus, just don't remove them? | 22:04 |
| MTeck | LinuX2half: it could have been a massive range of things - too hard to pinpoint without the issue being there | 22:05 |
| MindVirus | trothigar: Steps to reproduce: 1) Panic 2) Go on #ubuntu, ask for help 3) ...? 4) Profit! | 22:05 |
| Vinceman | how can you see in synaptic packet manager that a program is from Medibuntu? | 22:05 |

| MindVirus | trothigar: I haven't. I just feel as if something in my computer is misconfigured. | 22:05 |
| MindVirus | As obviously Computer Janitor should not be asking to remove these things. | 22:06 |
| trothigar | Vinceman, right click the package and select properties | 22:06 |
| LinuX2half | Mteck, so like the router is crowded with massive objects that interrupted the signals and that leaves no internet activity? | 22:06 |

| cc0 | Say, does anyone know how to configure grub for Windows 7? | 22:27 |
| cc0 | google is proving unhelpful | 22:27 |
| erUSUL | cc0: should be the same as any other windows | 22:28 |
| cc0 | doesn't appear that way | 22:28 |
| cc0 | at least it's not working here | 22:28 |
| MTeck | cc0: Grub just hands the boot process off to windows | 22:28 |
| cc0 | rright, well I got the right partition and all, just as I did with Vista | 22:28 |
| cc0 | it complains about a lacking bootmgr | 22:28 |
| swayric | MTeck: You couldn't guide me as far as commands to find out? hdparam -i? disconnecting sata drive while I'm booted into LiveCD and checking if certain parameters changed for io? | 22:29 |
| cc0 | oh hm, just found something, seemd chainloader +4 is the trick | 22:29 |

| thingy | anAngel: your in luck...there is a #amavis channel on freenode! /join #amavis | 22:30 |
| KB1JWQ | digitalbuddy: Unlikely. If you haven't forwarded the ports in your firewall/router, it's going to throw that error. | 22:30 |
| digitalbuddy | KB1JWQ: then how to fix it? | 22:31 |
| swayric | guntbert: when I tried booting off of many different versions of ubuntu live CDs they usually fail or freeze before I have a stable GUI to work with | 22:31 |
| KB1JWQ | digitalbuddy: Forward the ports in your router/firewall. Q.E.D. | 22:32 |
| swayric | guntbert: they also have freezed between 5 and 15 seconds after boot, perhaps depending on something I ran/clicked? | 22:32 |
| jatt | anybody got problems with pulse (in jaunty) and the internal microphone of dell laptops? | 22:32 |
| digitalbuddy | KB1JWQ: whats Q.E.D? | 22:32 |
| maco | jatt: internal mics are broken at the driver level almost across the board in jaunty | 22:33 |
| maco | jatt: get a mic and plug in | 22:33 |
| guntbert | swayric: I only know one reason for such behaviour (in many cases) - the burn went wrong or the iso was already corrupted - did you md5sum you images? | 22:33 |
| thingy | digitalbuddy: Have you read the Port Use paragraph of : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype | 22:33 |
| KB1JWQ | digitalbuddy: It's latin shorthand for quod erat demonstrandum. :-) And no, that doesn't help you, but you might consult the documentation for your router to see how it works. :) | 22:33 |
| cc0 | hmm, didn't work | 22:34 |
| jatt | maco: thanks looks that's the reason of all my issues, I've spent almost all afternon trying to make the the thing work. Will try with an external mic. Do you have a bug ID (in launchpad) for this problem? | 22:34 |
| swayric | guntbert: I have been using these particular isos/disks for years, and I treat my CDs with much care long term. I ran all of the md5 checks long ago, I'd fiugre they were alright. | 22:34 |
| maco | jatt: no i dont. upstrem ripped out that functionality to re-write it but it wasnt done by jaunty | 22:35 |
| maco | jatt: i just know this because i an audio maintainer told me | 22:35 |
| swayric | brb | 22:35 |

| jerriy | bazhang: The funny thing is when I NOW goto the place I got the firefox (i.e. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion) and click on the red "firefox-3.5" link I get a trespass warning that Firefox doesn't know how to open this address because the protocol 'apt' isn't associated with any program!!! How on earth is that possible? | 23:14 |
| erUSUL | swimmingpool: simple & nice way to recover everything <<< there is no such a thing... maybe things like photorec can do it. or the scripts in http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel | 23:14 |

| Leo | Hello everyone again. I tried to find out why my audio card is apparently working but I have no sound. And the answer until now it the my card is Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family), and the ICH9 is not supported. Is there anyone that has the step by step to solve it??? | 23:48 |
| Bor33D | just wanted to have a test | 23:48 |
| KB1JWQ | simran: Or kill the x process. | 23:49 |
| cmp | guys are you all here busy ???? is it really true that you are soooooooooo busy to this limit ? | 23:49 |
| nightrid3r | Bor33D: start reading on some basic networking and routing then youll understand what you need to do | 23:49 |
| bazhang | !dontzap | simran | 23:49 |
| ubottu | simran: To re-enable the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace combination that restarts your X server, you can install the "dontzap" package and use the command « sudo dontzap --disable ». The combination Alt+SysRq+K can also be used to obtain a similar effect. | 23:49 |
| simran | its not ctrl alt backspace | 23:49 |
| simran | alt print screen k | 23:49 |
| simran | isnt it? | 23:49 |
| HiNaC | hello | 23:49 |

| Leo | <Leo> Hello everyone again. I tried to find out why my audio card is apparently working but I have no sound. And the answer until now it the my card is Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family), and the ICH9 is not supported. Is there anyone that has the step by step to solve it??? | 23:50 |
| Guest57469 | bastidrazor, you should rather ask yourself why, the drivers you have will likely be more stable and better for your kernel, while with new ones you risk less stability and at the same time no real benefit | 23:50 |
| grkblood2 | how do i chroot certain users for ssh? | 23:50 |
| KB1JWQ | grkblood2: Difficult, to be sure. | 23:50 |
| crunge | Is it possible to trigger a script when a given package is upgraded? Specifically I need to compile/reinstall a 3rd party driver each time the kernel gets upgraded | 23:50 |
| KB1JWQ | grkblood2: There's an scponly plugin that MAY do what you want-- better to have sane permissions set. | 23:50 |
| nightrid3r | Bor33D: depends, you'll need static ip on router and your isp has to keep port 80 open | 23:50 |
| grkblood2 | dang | 23:50 |
| grkblood2 | i was hoping their wassomething easy | 23:51 |
| Guest57469 | bastidrazor, also, remember that you don't want to "circumvent" package management | 23:51 |
| arand | simran: Switch to tty with ctrl+alt+F2 (back with ctrl+alt+F7) then do sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 23:51 |
| Bor33D | nightrid3r: do you think they would? somehow i dout it | 23:51 |
| nightrid3r | Bor33D: unless you want to demonstrate some portforwarding-fu | 23:51 |
| erUSUL | !info dkms | crunge | 23:51 |
| ubottu | crunge: dkms (source: dkms): Dynamic Kernel Module Support Framework. In component main, is optional. Version 2.0.21.1-0ubuntu3 (jaunty), package size 56 kB, installed size 376 kB | 23:51 |
| Guest57469 | same goes to you, simran, you don't really want to install nvidia drivers yourself... | 23:51 |
| crunge | erUSUL: Thanks, I'll read up on it | 23:51 |
| simran | ? | 23:51 |
| nightrid3r | Bor33D: most providers block port 80 to prevent you from hosting your own stuff | 23:52 |
| erUSUL | crunge: no problem | 23:52 |
| zopiac | how do i change the taskbar part of a gtk theme? like, use my own part for it | 23:52 |

| Bor33D | nightrid3r: also the static ip, its all wireless through my tv areal for some reason so i dont think ill ever get a static i[ | 23:52 |
| simran | Guest57469 how come? | 23:52 |
| zopiac | er panel, not taskbar | 23:52 |
| erUSUL | simran: what things you need from the 185 release ? | 23:52 |
| nightrid3r | raylu: mine :( | 23:52 |
| simran | erusul ...bug fixes hopefully | 23:52 |
| raylu | nightrid3r: who would that be, so that i will avoid them? | 23:52 |
| Bor33D | raylu: have yet to see a home dedicated server? | 23:52 |
| simran | and that vsud thing | 23:53 |

| raylu | Bor33D: no, an isp that blocked 80 | 23:53 |
| erUSUL | !patience | cmp | 23:53 |
| ubottu | cmp: 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. | 23:53 |
| simran | leo calm ur shit down | 23:53 |
| simran | whats the problem | 23:53 |

| Bor33D | raylu: so no isp has blocked port 80? so i could be ok to do this? | 23:53 |
| simran | pre12164 ? | 23:53 |
| bazhang | cmp, generally repeating your issue with as much detail as possible, and reposting every 20 minutes or so is the best way forward | 23:54 |
| pre12164 | yes | 23:54 |
| arand | pre12164: specify problem. | 23:54 |
| bazhang | simran, please watch the language | 23:54 |
| raylu | Bor33D: few do, in my experience | 23:54 |
| Guest57469 | simran, did you think about that there might be a reason that ubuntu doesn't have the bleeding edge nvidia driver ? | 23:54 |
| pre12164 | i cant get my wn121t to work on ubuntu x64 | 23:54 |
| Wasser | hi people. i have the following problem: i hibernated my computer and now i cant access ubuntu anymore cause after the grub screen it just stays blank. what can i do? | 23:54 |
| roffe | has anyone successfully managed to install Nvidia's latest drivers manually? | 23:54 |
| Bor33D | raylu: to save me hassle do you no if virgin media do? | 23:54 |
| nightrid3r | raylu: in belgium almost all do | 23:54 |
| epaphus | Anybody know how I can delete a firefox addon instead of simply disabling it?? I installed flash via the addon manager in firefox and now i cannot delete it | 23:54 |
| raylu | Bor33D: like i said, never heard of any that do | 23:54 |
| Guest57469 | simran, you don't want to update yourself if it is not immideately easy for you to do yourself... | 23:55 |
| raylu | Bor33D: (until now) | 23:55 |
| erUSUL | Leo: sometimes with laptops help adding a line "options snd_hda_intel model=laptop" to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf | 23:55 |
| raylu | epaphus: flash isn't an addon, it's an extension | 23:55 |
| simran | Guest57469: so i wait for the official ubuntu update? | 23:55 |
| Bor33D | raylu: so if i could get this ip and port forwarding sorted, then i could be ok to run a home dedicated server? | 23:55 |
| epaphus | raylu, ok deleting that extension..? | 23:55 |
| erUSUL | Leo: model= accepts othe parameters (specific laptops models) | 23:55 |
| raylu | epaphus: no idea | 23:55 |
| simran | Guest57469: why cant ubuntu use bleeding edge | 23:55 |
| tsrk__ | What's the best way to forward all connections on port 123 to another machine (still port 123)? | 23:55 |
| bastidrazor | Guest57469, that is your opinion. | 23:55 |
| raylu | Bor33D: i suppose | 23:55 |
| pre12164 | is there a way i can just see my post and responses? | 23:55 |
| raylu | tsrk__: iptables/ipchains | 23:56 |
| user01 | will ubuntu one run on debian lenny? | 23:56 |

| simran | !bleeding edge | 23:56 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about bleeding edge | 23:56 |
| erUSUL | Leo: see here http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/Hda | 23:56 |
| raylu | Bor33D: portforward.com and network manager or /etc/network/interfaces (man interfaces) | 23:56 |
| simran | what is bleeding edge driver | 23:56 |
| Guest57469 | yes, that is the question... | 23:56 |

| zvonkorp | does anyone have any recommendations for http administration of a ubuntu 9 machine, just something i can use to look after machine status, space, remote log viewing, stuff like that - running apache 2 with php5 and mysql on the box | 23:57 |
| simran | those ppl are usin the latest drivvers | 23:57 |
| thingy | mikejet: does this link help: http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=11869 | 23:57 |
| pre12164 | can anyone help me to install me wireless wn121t to ubuntu x64? | 23:57 |
| bazhang | cmp, generally you just drag the tar.gz to the theme manager | 23:57 |
| Bor33D | raylu: ok thank you ill take a look and see what i can find, the next thing is do you think i would have enough power to run a home dedicated server? | 23:57 |
| erUSUL | !ebox | zvonkorp webmin is not supported in ubuntu | 23:57 |
| ubottu | zvonkorp webmin is not supported in ubuntu: ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox | 23:57 |
| Wasser | hi people. i have the following problem: i hibernated my computer and now i cant access ubuntu anymore cause after the grub screen it just stays blank. what can i do? | 23:57 |
| zvonkorp | thanks ubottu | 23:57 |
| raylu | Bor33D: that obviously depends on the load you get | 23:57 |
| cmp | how can i find the theme manager ? | 23:57 |
| IdleOne | erUSUL: that factoid contradicts what you said | 23:58 |
| nightrid3r | Bor33D: 50Mbit is enough for a home server | 23:58 |
| bazhang | cmp, right click desktop change background, go to themes tab | 23:58 |
| Bor33D | raylu:ok brillaint would a 10mbs be ok? | 23:58 |
| erUSUL | IdleOne: in which way ? | 23:58 |
| pre12164 | help with wireless drive plz | 23:58 |
| Bor33D | raylu: im just thinking of way to cut down the bill a little bit | 23:58 |
| Guest57469 | simran, they have a reason to, do You ? | 23:58 |
| thingy | Wasser: it seems ubuntu fails to boot up using the hibernation image file it created when you hibernated. If you had unsaved stuff when you hibernated that could be lost now...you will need to tell grub to boot up normally (i think its a boot option you have to specify) and ignore the hibernation file | 23:58 |
| IdleOne | erUSUL: well you said it isnt supported but the factoid says it is designed to work with ubuntu. sorta misleading | 23:59 |
| nightrid3r | Bor33D: depends on what you host, more graphics means more bandwith | 23:59 |
| erUSUL | IdleOne: it is webmin the one that is not suported | 23:59 |
| Guest56134 | hi there | 23:59 |
| erUSUL | !webmin > IdleOne | 23:59 |
| ubottu | IdleOne, please see my private message | 23:59 |
| Guest56134 | i just got a quick question if anyone can help? | 23:59 |
| IdleOne | erUSUL: sorry. I will learn to not question your foo | 23:59 |
| bucky | IdleOne, webmin was replaced by ebox ..that's what the factoid says | 23:59 |
| Bor33D | nightrid3r: ok brilliant thank you, i guess the only way to find out is by giving it a go | 23:59 |
