| joker_ | un|matrix: I'd say you can find that easy shot googling. | 00:00 |

| Gouda | Setting up your own webserver requires knowledge of setting up apache, intermediate networking skills and a drive to do lots of reading | 00:00 |
| Gouda | I don't think you are there yet bro | 00:00 |
| Guest522 | but, if i paid somebody, they cant do it over the internet | 00:00 |
| arand | FlugHaffen: if that gives anything do root (hd#,#) where #,# is specified depending on what the find command gave. | 00:00 |
| un|matrix | joker_: wish i could use Adobe Audition... you don't need to do pointless stuff like that with it | 00:00 |
| ozone89 | bye | 00:00 |
| Guest522 | they would need to be here in person | 00:00 |
| bucky | Guest522 this isn't a ubuntu problem... it's a dsl modem/router problem | 00:00 |
| joker_ | un|matrix: chatting is a good way of finding ideas to solve your problem but it most of the time wont fix it "out of the box" :) | 00:00 |
| arand | FlugHaffen: and then just the command: boot | 00:00 |
| Guest522 | so nobody is going to help me | 00:00 |
| joker_ | un|matrix: I dont see why you can't use adobe whatever? | 00:00 |
| Gouda | Guest522. When I setup a webserver....it took me days of trial and error and lots of reading and googling | 00:01 |
| dErFz | how do i make 'xset m 0 0' startup everytime? | 00:01 |
| un|matrix | joker_: i'm not going to buy windows | 00:01 |
| joker_ | un|matrix: wine | 00:01 |
| mechdave | Guest522, It sounds like you need to do some reading at http://httpd.apache.org and get to know how the web server works before you even try to set it up. You are just asking for trouble if you make it internet facing without some prior knowledge of how apache works :) | 00:01 |
| Gouda | Guest522 you need to be willing to help yourself first | 00:01 |
| un|matrix | joker_: tried it, doesn't work | 00:01 |
| FlugHaffen | arand, ok ill try that now, thanks | 00:01 |
| FlashGordon2000 | o | 00:01 |
| joker_ | un|matrix: oh, for real? It crash or what? | 00:01 |
| h2g2bob | Guest522: i missed your question - is it "how do i set up a website" or something more subtle? | 00:01 |
| Gouda | You can't expect to come in here and everyone jump at your feet and hand you all the answers. You gotta do alot of the stuff on your own. That's just the way it is | 00:01 |
| Gouda | h2g2bob: he's trying to setup a webserver...and has no knowledge of apache | 00:02 |
| Guest522 | ive ran loads of servers from datacenters, i just wanted to run it from home, the only thing thing thats making me confussed is the whole port forwarding | 00:02 |
| bucky | Guest522 this is a networking problem.. learn how to port forward and open up your router for cross port traffic on the wireless | 00:02 |
| Gouda | Well scuzni gave you a link to go read up on port forwarding and I don't believe you read it | 00:02 |
| Guest522 | this is what i dony no | 00:02 |
| un|matrix | joker_: the installation freezes and won't continue, and when i try to run the pre-installed version (which my friend sent me), it says it's not installed | 00:02 |
| mechdave | I started out with RedHat 5.2, a book on UNIX commands and no internet. That was a learning curve I must say :) | 00:02 |
| Guest522 | dont no* | 00:02 |
| Gouda | You need to read that site he gave you and google and find the docs for your router | 00:03 |
| bucky | Guest522, get one of your data center fellow employees to give you a hint | 00:03 |
| joker_ | un|matrix: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=3665 | 00:03 |
| Guest522 | there not going to help me, because they would lose money | 00:03 |
| joker_ | un|matrix: according to that, you should be able to do what you want | 00:03 |
| h2g2bob | Guest522: look on the bottom of your router / cable modem and type the web address there into your web browser to configure your router for port forwarding | 00:03 |
| bucky | Guest522, they hired you didn't they? | 00:04 |
| un|matrix | joker_: i already read the whole page, but it doesn't work here | 00:04 |
| Gouda | ROFL @ bucky | 00:04 |
| FlugHaffen | arand, i got the same error as always. Error 8: kernel must be loaded before booting | 00:04 |
| Guest522 | ive done that, and im into my router, im just unsure about the port forwarding | 00:04 |
| h2g2bob | Guest522: all routers are a bit different, so it's hard to give specific info. Another problem you might run into is your ISP may only give you a dynamic ip address | 00:04 |
| un|matrix | joker_: the installation stops before showing the EULA with MSIEXEC.EXE using all of the CPU... left it run for 30 minutes and it didn't move | 00:04 |
| Guest522 | my ip adress has always been the same, everytime i reset it, ive never had a new ip adress | 00:05 |
| joker_ | un|matrix: got that a few times with steam aswell... | 00:05 |
| Gouda | Yeah they call that a static ip address. | 00:05 |
| joker_ | un|matrix: don'T remember what I did exactly but I think it somewhere needed to be restarted several times... | 00:05 |
| carbon14c | test | 00:05 |
| kjon | Hello. I'm experiencing serious soft lockups of my machine when copying large files. Is there any fix for this issue? | 00:05 |
| joker_ | un|matrix: lets see how to do what you want with linux based apps | 00:05 |
| _20eric06_ | Can anyone help me removing lilo? | 00:05 |
| carbon14c | no | 00:06 |
| _20eric06_ | Anyone? | 00:06 |
| mechdave | Guest522, All you do to port forward is forward port 80 to the ip address of your server. If you do that the internet will only be able to access port 80 on your machine. BUT Please read about the security issues and how to set up and deploy a chroot jail for apache first | 00:06 |
| bkevan | _20eric06_ Just ask | 00:06 |
| _20eric06_ | bkevan, I did... | 00:06 |
| bucky | Guest522, go to http://192.168.254.254 and enter your passwd.. point and click | 00:06 |
| _20eric06_ | [20:05] <_20eric06_> Can anyone help me removing lilo? | 00:07 |
| Gouda | google "remove lilo" i just found lots of sites that show you how to do it | 00:07 |
| bkevan | _20eric06_ You asked if someone could help you.. :P | 00:07 |
| joker_ | un|matrix: http://audacity.sourceforge.net/onlinehelp-1.2/reference.html | 00:07 |
| _20eric06_ | I'm mouse-less right now | 00:07 |
| _20eric06_ | can't open firefox | 00:07 |
| joker_ | un|matrix: it says on that page that tracks can have diffrent sample rates | 00:07 |
| Guest522 | bucky: i tryed that link, it doesnt load | 00:07 |
| joker_ | un|matrix: that the rates will be ajusted to the project's rate | 00:07 |
| _20eric06_ | Yep, just as helpful as ##linux | 00:07 |
| _20eric06_ | God damn. | 00:07 |
| un|matrix | joker_: one moment | 00:07 |
| arand | FlugHaffen: Can you boot up with a livecd? | 00:07 |
| joker_ | un|matrix: you have to "set rate" somewhere | 00:07 |
| FlugHaffen | arand, yes | 00:08 |
| mechdave | _20eric06_, What OS are you running? | 00:08 |
| bucky | Guest522, try it from something other than your laptop | 00:08 |
| FlugHaffen | arand, im in livecd right now | 00:08 |
| un|matrix | joker_: yeah, it doesn't happen... i've set it to 22050 and imported a 44100 file, and it didn't convert it | 00:08 |
| Guest522 | i have a friend that is trying to connect aswell for me | 00:09 |
| Guest522 | from his hom pc | 00:09 |
| Guest522 | ok guys well thanx for the help | 00:10 |
| Guest522 | ive guessed no1 is going to help me | 00:10 |
| Guest522 | so cheerz | 00:10 |
| arand | FlugHaffen: ok, are you able to browse the partition where ubuntu is installed? | 00:10 |
| bkevan | Gues522: You're not asking the right questions | 00:10 |
| joker_ | un|matrix: I'm kinda skeptical but I dont have any files at any other rate than 44khz from what I know of... | 00:10 |
| FlugHaffen | arand, yes | 00:10 |
| joker_ | un|matrix: So I can't test it... Altho I could mix to takes of microphone... | 00:10 |
| un|matrix | joker_: any youtube video will include 22kHz audio | 00:10 |
| bkevan | Guest522: And when people are trying to help.. you tell them no "your ip has always been the same" .. DHCP expires.. unless you're granted that IP via the MAC.. then you're never guarnteed that IP.. even if you have always gotten it | 00:10 |
| Guest522 | ok, | 00:11 |
| Guest522 | so what kind of questions shuld i be asking | 00:11 |
| Guest522 | ? | 00:11 |
| bkevan | _20eric06_: you didn't give enough information.. like what OS you're running, what version of LILO.. and if you have GRUB loaded.. and if you want to use GRUB instead.. | 00:11 |
| joker_ | un|matrix: aight, I'mma try that and you find a solution to synchronise my icecast clients. ;) | 00:11 |
| joker_ | un|matrix: Deal? | 00:11 |
| arand | FlugHaffen: do you see a /boot/grub folder, and does it contain files like stage1 menu.lst etc.? | 00:11 |
| scunizi | bkevan: you need to supply a reference dictionary. ISP, DHCP, MAC, and maybe "expires" | 00:11 |
| bkevan | _20eric06_ you also don't give info on what the current issue is.. and why you want to get rid of it | 00:11 |
| Chaz | how do I copy contents of of a CD and preserve their permissions? | 00:11 |
| xxtreme | Guest522: ask again | 00:12 |
| === UdontKnow is now known as KnightWhoSaysNi | ||
| FlugHaffen | arand, yea | 00:12 |
| ultraputz | chaz - make an image | 00:12 |
| bkevan | Guest522: First off. what's your problem.. What are you trying to accomplish.. what problems are you having, and what is the expected outcome | 00:12 |
| un|matrix | joker_: i'll look into it | 00:12 |
| ultraputz | chaz - man dd | 00:12 |
| ultraputz | or use brasero | 00:12 |
| Guest522 | ok | 00:12 |
| sugarmagnolia | hmm... weird thing - ubuntu 8.04 on a Lenovo 3000 N200. I just installed the latest set of updates a few days ago and since then, whenever the screen saver kicks in, the screen brightness dims the screen to about 40% brightness. I have to manually adjust the brightness when the screensaver kicks off | 00:12 |
| bkevan | scunizi: ICUP is the most imporatnt.. | 00:12 |
| joker_ | un|matrix: ok, going to my desktop. brb | 00:12 |
| bkevan | scunizi: Because if ICUP then we have problems.. | 00:12 |
| mechdave | Guest522, Not that we aren't going to help you, just that we believe you need to do some more research into the subject. I have pointed you to apache.org and now it is up to you to do some reading and then come back with some questions we can actually answer. There is a lot in setting up a server and the subject needs to be broken down to smaller subject areas for us to be able to help more. Do this by reading about apach | 00:12 |
| mechdave | e and the server first. | 00:12 |
| mrwes | brasero --- pffffffft | 00:12 |
| ultraputz | mrwes - it makes images, and comes with ubuntu. | 00:13 |
| mrwes | so does mkisofs :) | 00:13 |
| mrwes | heh | 00:13 |
| h2g2bob | mrwes: so does dd ... sort of :) it's just easier to use the graphical ones | 00:14 |
| Guest522 | im trying to setup a home webserver to run some websites from, ive installed ubuntu onto the machine , and ive installed cpanel onto the machine with ubunut, and now i need to give it access so that people can view my websites, ive been told its something to do with portforwarind but im unsure what , please could somebody help me so other people can access my machine? and be able to view my websites? | 00:14 |
| FlugHaffen | arand, what should i do from here? | 00:14 |
| incluye | Jesus, this channel is enormous. | 00:14 |
| detrix | hello folks. I have an ATI all-in-wonder. I am trying to get dual head capabilities with the TV out. How do I set up xorg.conf | 00:15 |
| joker_ | un|matrix: looks like it works out of the box here | 00:15 |
| mrwes | Guest522, forward port 80 from your router to the server, that is, if your ISP allows it | 00:15 |
| helpee | !tvout | detrix | 00:15 |
| ubottu | detrix: For help with enabling the TV-Out, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaTVOutNewbieEdition (Nvidia cards) or http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Tvout (ATI cards, *untested*) | 00:15 |
| nation | hey everyone whats | 00:15 |
| nation | going on there | 00:15 |
| un|matrix | joker_: you can't sync icecast listeners, if i were u i'd stream audio to them via pulseaudio | 00:15 |
| joker_ | un|matrix: ho, yeah the song is quite slower lol | 00:15 |
| mrwes | ultraputz, I've always been a big fan of K3b -- I don't mind carrying the extra KDE libs | 00:15 |
| un|matrix | joker_: exactly | 00:15 |
| helpee | detrix: note those links are really old. Try checking the help.ubuntu.com/community entry for ati as well | 00:15 |
| nation | love this distro :P | 00:15 |
| mechdave | Guest522, Get the make and model of your router and google it. Get the user manual and follow instructions in that to enable port forwarding | 00:15 |
| Guest522 | ok, but how do i find out my router ip, im guessing is 192.168.1.1 | 00:16 |
| ultraputz | mrwes - kde make me feel queasy, and i tend to use dd for most everything :-) | 00:16 |
| joker_ | un|matrix: ok, thx for the search ;) Imma check out your thing now and try to surpass you with a working solution rather than telling you it doesnt work :P | 00:16 |
| === void is now known as vo|d | ||
| helpee | Guest522: read the documentation for your router. This isn't related to ubuntu. | 00:16 |
| mrwes | ultraputz, can't argue with dd | 00:16 |
| Guest522 | so it didnt let me add http://192.168.1.1, but another i found on my machine is 192.168.1.2 | 00:16 |
| bribroder | hey guys | 00:16 |
| arand | FlugHaffen: ok, let's try to reinstall grub to the mbr then (which loads the grub files here), run "sudo grub" "find /boot/stage1" "root (hd#,#)" (just like before) and then finally "setup hd0" (or hd# where # is the device you are booting from, it's normally hd0 but could be different if you have several harddisks or raid setups...) | 00:16 |
| iuso | flower: it's advancing at a very slow pace. if you mean 0.5.4, it's already gone through much rework since then | 00:16 |
| Guest522 | so ive added this with port 80 | 00:16 |
| ultraputz | no sir | 00:16 |
| detrix | helpee: thats kinda why I am here. I could not find much on ati tv out | 00:16 |
| Guest522 | and now it will work yes? | 00:16 |
| mechdave | Guest522, And you are a server admin? See previous post of mine | 00:16 |
| ultraputz | you know anything about lvm / dmcrypt ? | 00:16 |
| FlugHaffen | arand, i have 3 hd's | 00:16 |
| helpee | Guest522: you need to forward port 80 ON YOUR ROUTER to your ubuntu machine | 00:16 |
| ultraputz | er, anyone, mrwes? | 00:17 |
| Guest522 | ok | 00:17 |
| arand | FlugHaffen: ok, hang on then. | 00:17 |
| Guest522 | but people need to be able to access the machine with the ip | 00:17 |
| mrwes | ultraputz, genisoimage -r -J -o cd_image.iso $1 :) | 00:17 |
| Guest522 | for example my laptop ip show up on the internet as 82.32.200.81, what does this have to do with it? | 00:17 |
| ultraputz | Guest522 -- do consider that your ISP may block port 80 | 00:17 |
| joker_ | un|matrix: theres a "change speed" function but I don't think that,d be quite "intuitive" :) | 00:17 |
| scunizi | helpee: he may not have apache installed ... only cpanel | 00:17 |
| === hey` is now known as grumete | ||
| helpee | Guest522: yeah, they'll enter your router's ip and your router will forward their request to your server on your network... | 00:17 |
| Guest522 | im not sure if they do or not | 00:17 |
| Guest522 | how would i find out? | 00:18 |
| arand | FlugHaffen: do you know which one you are normally booting from? | 00:18 |
| jrivera | hello everyone! | 00:18 |
| mrwes | Guest522, forward port 80 from your router to the server, that is, if your ISP allows it <---- ultraputz | 00:18 |
| ultraputz | Guest -- set it up correctly and still not have it work : -) | 00:18 |
| mrwes | heh | 00:18 |
| fruers | How do I get ubuntu to drop to a tty and display the fault when the kernel panics? | 00:18 |
| FlugHaffen | arand, no not really | 00:18 |
| nation | i like the hardware support now arvailable i have tried to get into linux distros many times but all started to sound like mac only liking certain hardware | 00:18 |
| jrivera | question: how do i change a login name with root access from say foo to myfoo | 00:18 |
| un|matrix | joker_: i've tried that, and it doesn't work either... a 22kHz that should be 44kHz gets sped up 50%... but if you slow it down 50% it's not the same at all | 00:18 |
| FlugHaffen | arand, i have windows on one and until today had fedora on another | 00:18 |
| mechdave | Guest522, if you have a dynamic IP address you need to use a company like DynDNS to give you a domain name | 00:18 |
| ultraputz | jrivera, you don't. you create a new userid. | 00:19 |
| un|matrix | joker_: actually, make that 100% | 00:19 |
| mrwes | Guest522, might need to run your web server on 8080 or something like that and forward that port | 00:19 |
| joker_ | un|matrix: I just did it. Sucessfully resampled to 22khz without speed lost | 00:19 |
| fruers | My laptop keeps crashing, basically it just resets with no error message | 00:19 |
| mechdave | Guest522, http://dyndns.com | 00:19 |
| un|matrix | joker_: with 'change speed'? | 00:19 |
| mrwes | +1 for dyndns -- been using it for about a year without issues and free too :) | 00:19 |
| fruers | Does ubuntu drop to a tty with error message when the kernel panics or does it just reset? | 00:19 |
| jrivera | ultraputz: will i use adduser or useradd command? i am on command line only | 00:19 |
| joker_ | un|matrix: Menu -> Tracks -> Resample | 00:19 |
| nation | my laptop loves it only crashed due to heat when converting 60 gb of video files lol | 00:19 |
| ultraputz | sudo adduser | 00:20 |
| arand | FlugHaffen: hmm, "sudo fdisk -l" might give you a hint (at least one of the partitions should have a boot flag)? | 00:20 |
| ultraputz | btw .. it shells to vi by default | 00:20 |
| un|matrix | joker_: dammit i've been searching for this for hours | 00:20 |
| Guest522 | ok thanx | 00:20 |
| ultraputz | so either know vi, or export EDITOR="<yourfavorite>" | 00:20 |
| joker_ | un|matrix: you owe me bro :P | 00:20 |
| jrivera | then i can delete the old login username? | 00:20 |
| un|matrix | joker_: i guess i do | 00:20 |
| joker_ | un|matrix: sup with my synchronisation? :) | 00:20 |
| FlugHaffen | arand, that'd be my windows install. | 00:20 |
| ultraputz | jrivera, you can disable the account | 00:21 |
| un|matrix | joker_: solve it with pulseaudio | 00:21 |
| un|matrix | joker_: it should be synced | 00:21 |
| mrwes | or sudo update-alternatives --config editor and choose option 3 for nano | 00:21 |
| ultraputz | jrivera, and if you like, you could pull its home directory. | 00:21 |
| arand | ok, and what disk is that (sda sdb sdc ?) | 00:21 |
| ultraputz | mrwes, better call. | 00:21 |
| joker_ | un|matrix: yeah I'llr ead on that... just pisses me off I made all these network settings for nothing... | 00:21 |
| jrivera | ok i think that's better | 00:21 |
| FlugHaffen | arand sdc1 | 00:21 |
| zefyx | okay, you guys | 00:21 |
| zefyx | i need your lovin | 00:21 |
| mrwes | ultraputz, I'm on a roll | 00:21 |
| jrivera | thanks ultraputz | 00:21 |
| zefyx | i had two drive's drop from an array | 00:21 |
| arand | FlugHaffen: you have been using grub to boot windows as well? | 00:21 |
| mechdave | Guest522, Don't keep anything personal on your server... I have had break in attempts by the Russians and the Chinese in the past | 00:21 |
| zefyx | neither were accessed/formatted. both are uninitalized right now | 00:21 |
| ultraputz | zefyx - try duct tape. | 00:21 |
| joker_ | un|matrix: I've put a mpd server, icecast, clients, made shell scripts to wrap that (ease of use for the girlfriend)... | 00:21 |
| zefyx | what do i need to do to force them back into my raid 5? | 00:22 |
| FlugHaffen | arand, that was my original plan but i havent been able to use it to boot anything | 00:22 |
| un|matrix | joker_: i know... i've been through it | 00:22 |
| joker_ | un|matrix: on all the computers here... So you can control any mpd server from any computer, and listen to any of them | 00:22 |
| mrwes | Guest522, better think about running DenyHosts and some iptable rules for brute force attacks :)) | 00:22 |
| Guest522 | ok | 00:22 |
| arand | FlugHaffen: Ok, hopefully this should work: first run "sudo grub" in a terminal | 00:22 |
| h2g2bob | does anyone know anything about gnome's drag-and-drop - have any debugging hints, etc? | 00:22 |
| === frt is now known as Guest96627 | ||
| joker_ | un|matrix: I wanted a "Hey listen to that!", networked. | 00:22 |
| h2g2bob | I've got a sample program with a drag destination for text/uri-list data types. If I drag folder locations from the location bar in nautilus, it gives multiple "drag-data-received signals" for a single "drag-drop". This confuses and angers me. | 00:23 |
| Guest522 | all i want to do is get the server live to public | 00:23 |
| un|matrix | joker_: well the mpd server is icecast independant isnt it? | 00:23 |
| Guest522 | i can worrie about the rest onces ive done this | 00:23 |
| bribroder | quick Q for y'all regarding wireless config: what kind of packet loss do i need to see before I should turn on CTS Protection Mode? | 00:23 |
| joker_ | un|matrix: but it's out of sync and it sucks :( | 00:23 |
| joker_ | un|matrix: yeah, it is. Good point | 00:23 |
| un|matrix | joker_: you can still use pulseaudio with it | 00:23 |
| arand | FlugHaffen: at the grub prompt do "find /boot/grub/stage1" what does that give? | 00:23 |
| mrwes | Guest522, your ISP may block port 80 -- we told you several times brutha! | 00:23 |
| FlugHaffen | arand (hd1,0) | 00:23 |
| joker_ | un|matrix: Yup, good idea but I dont know much bout pulse audio... imma have to read bout that. | 00:23 |
| Guest522 | yes i no | 00:23 |
| arand | FlugHaffen: then do "root (hd1,0)" | 00:24 |
| joker_ | un|matrix: any, thx for the hints and have fun with audacious | 00:24 |
| Guest522 | but, i need to try and get this setup so i can find out brutha! | 00:24 |
| mrwes | heh | 00:24 |
| un|matrix | joker_: it's not too complicated, just put pulseaudio on all clients and forward the audio from the server to them | 00:24 |
| mrwes | don't bite the hand that is helping | 00:24 |
| Guest522 | its really stressing me out now | 00:24 |

| ultraputz | has anyone had full-disk encryption fail after recent update? | 00:25 |
| un|matrix | joker_: the padevchooser might prove a useful tool | 00:25 |
| Guest522 | but, i wont no if thy block it till i try | 00:25 |
| mrwes | ignore | 00:25 |
| joker_ | un|matrix: yeah but I'll have to read to code a script to wrap everything so that you can listen to any pulseaudio server from any computer... | 00:25 |
| ultraputz | get dropped to busybox? | 00:25 |
| FlugHaffen | didnt get any errors | 00:25 |
| FlugHaffen | arand, lemme reboot see what happens | 00:25 |

| SerialKiller | im looking for a good fps or mmorpg for ubuntu | 00:25 |
| mechdave | Guest522, this is not actually Ubuntu.. This is basic networking | 00:25 |
| jrivera | question: what is the best server backup policy: full+incremental, full+differential, or real-time? | 00:25 |
| zefyx | no one knows anything about raid then eh? | 00:26 |
| un|matrix | joker_: uhm... what do u mean by 'listen to any pulseaudio server from any computer'? | 00:26 |
| joker_ | SerialKiller: if you find one, let me know ;) | 00:26 |
| arand | SerialKiller: quakelive,? | 00:26 |
| SerialKiller | that is free?? | 00:26 |
| arand | SerialKiller: indeed. | 00:26 |
| un|matrix | joker_: u have multiple servers and multiple clients? | 00:26 |
| mrwes | jrivera, how much space do you have for backups? | 00:26 |
| bucky | Guest522, you can't get into your dsl modem? maybe they do it different in the uk | 00:26 |
| SerialKiller | got a homepage | 00:26 |
| SerialKiller | ?? | 00:26 |
| joker_ | un|matrix: well, pulseaudio would have to be streaming at some point, and the clients would have to connect to it to get the feed. And yes, I have multiple servers, multiple clients | 00:26 |
| zefyx | i had two drive's drop from an array | 00:26 |
| jrivera | terabyte drive | 00:26 |
| zefyx | no one knows anything about raid then eh? | 00:26 |
| FlugHaffen | arand, back at CLI | 00:26 |
| zefyx | neither were accessed/formatted. both are uninitalized right now | 00:26 |
| zefyx | what do i need to do to force them back into my raid 5? | 00:26 |
| FloodBot3 | zefyx: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 00:26 |
| joker_ | un|matrix: right now, as I said, you can control any server from any machine and listen to it aswell | 00:26 |
| un|matrix | joker_: actually the server decides where it streams to, the clients just listen | 00:26 |
| mrwes | jrivera, if you have the room -- full + full :) | 00:27 |
| arand | SerialKiller: google.com ;) --> quakelive.com | 00:27 |
| SerialKiller | thnx lol | 00:27 |
| joker_ | un|matrix: well, I'll have to read and see what I can do with that | 00:27 |
| joker_ | un|matrix: if theres a way to "send" the music to the clients, there will be a way to make it do what I want | 00:27 |
| arand | FlugHaffen: hum... | 00:27 |
| un|matrix | joker_: it's designed to do that | 00:27 |
| FlugHaffen | arand, i know | 00:27 |
| jrivera | mrwes: but won't it overwrite files for the previous days? what if we want to puul back to say three days back? | 00:28 |
| mrwes | joker_, you need music sharing from the server? | 00:28 |
| FlugHaffen | arand, im stumped and frustrated | 00:28 |
| jrivera | *pull | 00:28 |
| cerol | can you install wubi with truecrypt encrypted windows system? | 00:29 |
| jrivera | by the way what would be the ideal backup tool to use, i read a lot about rsync | 00:29 |
| joker_ | mrwes: I have a file server wich holds the files, a media center that runs most of the multimedia things, but I wanted to have mpd servers / clients on each machine, controllable by any other machine and streaming trough icecast. I have that, the problem is the sync. If I connect with 3 clients to 1 server, they're out of sync and it kinda sucks. Using pulseaudio should sove this problem (instead of icecast). | 00:29 |
| cerol | can you install wubi on a truecrypt encrypted windows system? | 00:29 |
| joker_ | mrwes: got it ;) ? | 00:29 |
| mrwes | joker_, barely :) say again? heh | 00:29 |
| joker_ | mrwes: I had a problem, we found a possible solution, Imma try it. ;) | 00:30 |
| mrwes | joker_, I use mt-daapd for media/music shares -- works with Ubuntu clients and Windows iTunes | 00:30 |
| joaopinto | cerol, only if the windows bootloader can decrypt the partition before booting it :) | 00:30 |
| joker_ | mrwes: thats not a share, thats streaming. Say you wanna listen to the radio, you can be in your car or on as many "clients" you like say your home stereo, everything will be in sync. | 00:31 |
| mrwes | ic | 00:31 |
| joker_ | mrwes: if you have 3 stereo in your house and all of them listen to the same radio station, the sound is in sync and it works fine | 00:31 |
| cerol | joaopinto: i dont know the answer to that | 00:31 |
| joaopinto | cerol, it's no | 00:32 |
| joker_ | mrwes: with mp3 radio it,s not the same, due to buffering | 00:32 |
| * Gouda slaps joker_ around a bit with a large trout | 00:32 | |
| cerol | joaopinto: how do you know? | 00:32 |
| ConstantineXVI | How do you reset your X settings to their OOB defaults? | 00:32 |
| joker_ | Gouda: sry for that | 00:32 |
| joker_ | *about | 00:33 |
| dodddummy | seems i read somewhere there was a 'magic' command which made lcd monitors, crisper. is there such thing? | 00:33 |
| joker_ | anyway thx, I'm out | 00:33 |
| frt975 | Are there advanced window management utilities for GNOME? Like in KDE? | 00:33 |
| cerol | can you install wubi on a truecrypt encrypted windows system anyone? | 00:35 |
| thiebaude | !wubi | cerol | 00:35 |
| ubottu | cerol: 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. | 00:35 |
| joker_ | un|matrix: by the way, pulseaudio wont work. It woudl redirect all of the audio. Wich is not what I want as the media center, for instance, is also used to watch tv and such. The server must be totally headless. | 00:36 |
| tjb | I'm trying to charge my USB cell phone, but it's not working. Anyone know how to setup the USB driver to let it use 500mA? | 00:36 |
| joker_ | un|matrix: anyway, the gf is back from work, I,ll check that out later. cya | 00:36 |
| cerol | thiebaude: my question concerns bootup, not the installation. | 00:36 |
| un|matrix | joker_: you can only redirect specific applications with it | 00:36 |

| FlugHaffen | hi andres_ | 00:45 |

| mechdave | Emery, you could type in mount that will tell you what is mounted | 00:45 |
| FlugHaffen | arand, "could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device." | 00:45 |
| === Guest522 is now known as asdfghjkl | ||
| arand | FlugHaffen: also, you might have to go through the grub install to mbr that you did before as well, since the mbr has to know the exact location of the grub files (and reinstalling them might reorganize them when it comes to raw harddisk geomrtry) | 00:46 |
| andres__ | i got a chestion | 00:46 |

| Emery | mechdave i did mount /media/sda1 /mnt/media and .. mount: special device /media/sda1 does not exist | 00:47 |

| alyce | how can i enable networking, i'm hooked up to a router with my other computer which is a xp, how can i enable sharing between the two? | 00:49 |
| Emery | mechdave, i am root | 00:49 |
| mechdave | Emery, get out of root and use sudo | 00:49 |
| Furythor | Alyce, you mean you want to be in same "workgroup" ? | 00:49 |
| IdleOne | alyce: to share internet from windows ##windows would be better place to ask | 00:49 |
| Furythor | Yeah | 00:50 |
| mechdave | Emery, using root is way too dangerous... even for me :) | 00:50 |
| alyce | furythor, yes i want to be able to share files between the two, i can see my network, but cannot open it | 00:50 |
| Furythor | yeah issue is that Linux can easily see others in "networks" when windows may not | 00:50 |

| serp | nathanmarck, but if you specify any other url with a php ending it does? | 01:49 |
| nathanmarck | But it will in others | 01:49 |
| nathanmarck | Yeah | 01:49 |
| nathanmarck | I have say ubuntu.local/eyeOS/index.php | 01:49 |
| nathanmarck | That works | 01:49 |
| nathanmarck | But ubuntu.local/mps/index.php gives me the download dialog | 01:49 |
| mechdave | nathanmarck, Ok now what happens is that some directories (usually /var/www/html) will run php and then you have to specifically enable the other directories to allow php to run in either the php.conf or sites-enabled.conf | 01:50 |

| bucky | morph_, don't you have it already | 01:51 |
| nathanmarck | other .php withing /mps work perfectly | 01:51 |

| Ben64 | wolf23: dude, yeah, "cp" = copy, its really not complicated | 01:59 |
| mnaines1 | Xalt0r: That's because we're geeks, not nerds...The difference is the geeks are genuine intelligence while the nerds are just wanna-be's | 01:59 |

| mechdave | Can someone help alokito to change login picture on kde4, I have no experience at kde | 02:04 |
| alokito | oh ok | 02:04 |
| Xalt0r | I was browsing through this crooked irc | 02:04 |
| ultraputz | mechdave, alokito -- there's a kubuntu channel, with kde support | 02:04 |
| Xalt0r | and this guy was selling 300 hacked boxes | 02:04 |
| Xalt0r | for 1000 euros | 02:04 |

| alokito | ultraputz, no one's replying in #kubuntu | 02:05 |
| * mnaines1 ponders why people get hacked boxes when they know those boxes could be infected with viruses and stuff | 02:05 | |
| mechdave | ultraputz, alokito Of course, try #kde | 02:05 |
| ultraputz | alokito -- patience is a virtue,. | 02:05 |
| mjay | Hmm, what difference is there between installing a deb file , and extracting the deb file, putting all the files in the right folder? | 02:05 |
| alokito | ultraputz, :-| | 02:05 |
| arand | Xalt0r: That is no topic fro this channel. | 02:05 |
| nathanmarck | wofl23: Out of curiousity what makes you think terminal will stop that error? | 02:05 |
| ultraputz | mjay -- aptitude. | 02:06 |
| ultraputz | in two senses of the word. | 02:06 |
| mjay | hmm? | 02:06 |
| lstarnes | mjay: properly installing it makes the system recognize it as being fully installed and makes it easier to uninstall or upgrade the package | 02:06 |
| Xalt0r | who cares who buys them aslong as you're making money | 02:06 |
| wolf23 | nathanmarck, i can watch the video on vlc without any error, just when i do copy paste | 02:06 |
| ultraputz | mjay -- open terminal, type "man apt" | 02:06 |
| lstarnes | mjay: it also helps make sure that dependencies are met | 02:06 |
| Guest5530_570 | irc embedded nice | 02:06 |

| nathanmarck | wolf23: Ok i decided to help :P be around 2-3 mins and ill have the solution | 02:07 |
| ultraputz | mnaines1, obviously it does not | 02:07 |
| Xalt0r | Bullshit, plenty of people make money online. | 02:07 |
| Xalt0r | This guy I was talking to says he makes 2k a month doing jackshit | 02:07 |
| alokito | #kde is even more deserted | 02:07 |
| Xalt0r | some people even make 10 k | 02:07 |
| ultraputz | Xalt0r, what does this have to do with ubuntu support? | 02:07 |
| Xalt0r | Idk I thought you guys would explain that to me. | 02:07 |

Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 02:18 |
| mechdave | nathanmarck, perhaps that might be better asked in #ubuntu-offtopic | 02:18 |
| bucky | Lappy, the "genetic" deb just pulls in the other and it's not very big... you might want the headers later on if you want to build a driver or something | 02:18 |
| mmonlsd | 26 midteens :P | 02:18 |
| arand | nathanmarck: please don't encourage mass-channel-answer, it wont do good in a channe like this... | 02:18 |

| deviant-route | :~$ or i should say the highest performance video card for gaming | 02:19 |
| Lappy | It says 'Package was installed because another package required it, but now nothing requires it anymore' | 02:19 |
| nathanmarck | Also joining another channel will kill me (I dunno why but it will somehow) | 02:19 |
| Lappy | Should I get rid of the non-generic one? | 02:19 |
| bucky | Lappy you might want the headers later on if you want to build a driver or something | 02:20 |
| Lappy | Okay | 02:20 |

| Ben64 | nathanmarck: I'm 23, been using Linux since I was like 14 | 02:20 |
| ^Phantom^ | Keaton: A lot of windows programs will run fine on linux as well, using wine. It's how I run Midna's chat client for her bot scripts. | 02:20 |
| Ben64 | deviant-route: nvidia cards generally work the easiest on Linux | 02:20 |
| mechdave | nathanmarck, most of us here also hang about in #ubuntu-offtopic so we all will still get to see your off topic questions | 02:20 |
| nathanmarck | Ahh ok | 02:20 |
| xiong | there are a couple dozen fonts installed by default that seem only to be there for the display of foreign languages -- is there a way for me to hide them from font selection menus/boxes without actually uninstalling them? | 02:20 |
| Keaton | Phantom: I've been meaning to get new hardware for this thing. Maybe this will be my new determination. | 02:20 |
| nathanmarck | I might go there in a mo | 02:21 |
| deviant-route | :~$ ok Ben64, but what about ATI Radeon | 02:21 |
| ^Phantom^ | 512 MB RAM should be sufficient for ubuntu. | 02:21 |
| ^Phantom^ | I've run it on that before and it worked fine. | 02:22 |
| Ben64 | deviant-route: works, but usually not as easy to get working, and less mature drivers for linux | 02:22 |
| deviant-route | ok thanks | 02:22 |
| Ben64 | Keaton, ^Phantom^: 512 is fine, yeah. But more is ALWAYS better | 02:22 |
| Keaton | Phantom: Thank you, and Thank you everyone else who helped me. I shall return later and tell you if it was sucessful. :] | 02:22 |

| sebsebseb | Saik: yep that's about all they do, scan for Windows viruses, which don't infect Linux | 02:39 |
| monster | crash1hd: I think if you have both hdds in, you can use DD to mirror the HD | 02:39 |
| sebsebseb | !antivirus | Saik | 02:39 |
| ubottu | Saik: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux, except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus | 02:39 |
| mattgyver[L] | anyone setup jinzora on ubuntu? | 02:40 |
| sebsebseb | Saik: also the only true proper way to be sure malware is gone, is to clean install the OS, that it got installed on | 02:40 |

| === brian2 is now known as droolproof84 | ||
| arand | kismet, first try to go into recovery mode (root console) from the boot menu and do "fsck /dev/sda1", then if that fails boot into a livecd and do the same (sudo fsck /dev/sda1) You may have to use the -f and -p options (force checking and automatic repair with no questions) | 03:15 |
| SerialKiller | also is there a way to imporve dvd playback?? it is like the tracking is out of adjustment on a vhs machine | 03:15 |
| kismet | arand: i did the command fsck | 03:15 |
| IdleOne | SerialKiller: the sound only comes out of the "plugged in speakers" and not the laptop speaker? | 03:15 |
| droolproof84 | unmount the drive first kismet | 03:16 |
| kismet | and it asked me many time questions to fix something which i answered with yes | 03:16 |

I can install the printer with the search for printer function but i dont know how to tell the printer which user I am. Any help? thanks THe command I have to add is "-U username" | 03:16 |
| arand | kismet: ok, and did that give any errors, and where you able to boot afterwards? | 03:16 |
| xikteny | mdwright: you could use 'equivs' to create a fake package of the dependency... bit of a crude hack, though | 03:16 |
| Saik | deviant-route, so far so good. it found one I missed but knew was there | 03:16 |
| SerialKiller | Idleone: but when i unplgu the speakers no sound at all | 03:16 |
| kismet | no afterwards not... | 03:16 |
| kismet | but if i shutdown now | 03:17 |
| deviant-route | :~$ ok thats great | 03:17 |
| arand | kismet: so you ran fsck just now? | 03:17 |
| kismet | or the last two times it was so... that it was an unsafe shutdown again | 03:17 |
| mdwright | xikteny: Ew. Thanks. I haven't found a better solution. I feel like there should be one. | 03:17 |

| Lakobos | any one help? in configuring autorun in ubuntu. It seems that gnome can't detect the autorun script in my usb or cd | 03:50 |
| sebsebseb | tony99: device hmm I guess it means hard disk or partition | 03:50 |
| Irishmanluke | Lakobos: you could try this but it seems your way should work http://reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html | 03:50 |
| tony99 | sebsebseb could you suggjest something i check or try | 03:50 |
| Irishmanluke | Lakobos: I don't really know how to do this but you should be able to write a udev rule which runs a command when your drive is mounted | 03:51 |
| sebsebseb | tony99: probably not | 03:51 |
| sebsebseb | tony99: you have Windows on there? that boots up ok? ,but Ubuntu won't? or? | 03:51 |
| tony99 | no i cant get into the menu at all | 03:52 |
| tony99 | i need to boot a live cd | 03:52 |
| sebsebseb | tony99: have you tried re installing Grub? | 03:52 |
| Lakobos | i tried once, but i failed, the script did not run | 03:52 |
| arooni-mobile___ | im trying to do a backup... but i need to delete some files that i dont need in order to have enough space on backup drive. i'm in the ubuntu live cd. via nautilus i selected some files and hit delete. i dont see them in the trash and they were 12 GB worth... and df -h and gparted doesnt show the used space go down... help? | 03:52 |
| tony99 | its a stage 2 error | 03:52 |
| tony99 | yes im pretty sure i tried it correctly and it didnt work | 03:53 |
| Lakobos | i tried udev before | 03:53 |
| tony99 | i could try it again | 03:53 |
| sebsebseb | tony99: if nessarey you can use lilo instead of Grub | 03:53 |
| tony99 | :( | 03:53 |
| Lakobos | but im not sure whether the the commands i inputed was right or wrong | 03:53 |
| sebsebseb | tony99: ,but you can probably fix your issue | 03:53 |
| sebsebseb | tony99: Grub is in the MBR? | 03:53 |
| Irishmanluke | Lakobos: sorry I cannot help you | 03:54 |
| tony99 | so this is what im doing"find /boot/grub/stage1" returns (hd2,0) | 03:54 |
| tony99 | so i do root (hd2,0) correct | 03:55 |
| sebsebseb | tony99: hard disk two, your first partition on there, since Grub starts on 0 | 03:55 |
| Lakobos | its alright i'll try udev again | 03:55 |
| Lakobos | been doing it for 2 days | 03:55 |
| sebsebseb | tony99: uh wait no | 03:55 |

| miguelonnnn | haha xd | 04:31 |
| konner | Hm. i figured it out... but i still get the Module not found error | 04:31 |
| sebsebseb | miguelonnnn: 1297 including a few bots, in this room | 04:31 |
| miguelonnnn | ok ok | 04:31 |
| miguelonnnn | well i'll ask | 04:31 |
| sebsebseb | miguelonnnn: so yes people are here | 04:31 |
| miguelonnnn | i know any dir has . and .. hardlinks | 04:32 |
| miguelonnnn | i've tried to remove them and it's impossible being root | 04:32 |
| tony99 | whens grub 2 come out | 04:32 |
| miguelonnnn | sbdy told me that's cause linux fs doesn't let you remove them, they are special hardlinks | 04:32 |
| sebsebseb | !patience | FeLonG | 04:32 |
| ubottu | FeLonG: 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. | 04:32 |
| sebsebseb | tony99: it already is | 04:32 |
| FeLonG | thanks | 04:33 |
| FeLonG | sorry | 04:33 |
| tony99 | the full version sebsebseb | 04:33 |
| sebsebseb | tony99: yep | 04:33 |
| FeLonG | i tried that but none solution worked | 04:33 |
| miguelonnnn | i wanna know what's special about them. I mean, i know they are important, i should remove them, but why rm -rf / works and rm -r .. not? | 04:33 |
| FeLonG | :D | 04:33 |
| arand | tony99: it's the default for the next ubuntu release 9.10 | 04:33 |
| tony99 | o i thought it was beta | 04:33 |
| _CUJO_ | well, I gotta go now.. thanks for helping me ppl... | 04:33 |
| sebsebseb | miguelonnnn: the remove / command? | 04:34 |
| miguelonnnn | and don't tell me that's because you cannot remove the dir you are in , cause do the following: get to a dir, and type the whole route to the dir to rm -r , then pwd, it gets removed and you get error printing pwd cause it doesn't exist. So you can actually remove folders while you're accessing them | 04:34 |
| arand | tony99: it is, kind of, but more like a google beta, which lasts for decades... | 04:34 |
| konner | xikteny i found it but im still getting Module not found. | 04:35 |
| miguelonnnn | yeah sebseb, you can make rm -rf / being root | 04:35 |
| sebsebseb | miguelonnnn: danger don't remove / | 04:35 |
| miguelonnnn | of course you'll crash the system | 04:35 |
| sebsebseb | !danager | 04:35 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about danager | 04:35 |
| miguelonnnn | yeah i know | 04:35 |
| sebsebseb | !danger | 04:35 |
| ubottu | DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Do not use the command or utter it here thank you! | 04:35 |
| miguelonnnn | but why ubuntu lets you kill / and not any simple . or .. hardlink in any folder? | 04:35 |

| Gnea | tony99: won't matter since /etc/fstab carries the UUID's | 04:40 |
| sebsebseb | Gnea: well he didn't advertise exactly, but he did want to do something odd as root, and then mentions the command | 04:40 |
| Gnea | sebsebseb: it was typed in the channel, it was therefore advertised. | 04:40 |
| SuperMIguel | di||itante, any idea how to start it from a terminal? | 04:40 |
| sebsebseb | Gnea: ah ok | 04:40 |
| tony99 | Gnea can i comment out the uuid and put root(x,x) | 04:41 |
| Gnea | tony99: it doesn't work like that. fstab and grub are mutually exclusive of each other. if you comment it out, you might as well just reinstall. | 04:41 |
| tony99 | how do i reinstall it then | 04:41 |
| tony99 | the whole os? | 04:41 |

| kamen | does anyone know how to update from hardy without internet? | 04:43 |
| tony99 | i guess this is a good trubleshooting thing to know....if i completely reinstalled ubuntu and grub still doesnt work...what should i do | 04:44 |
| FirstSgt | damn, forgot to resume screen session before startting irssi :( | 04:44 |
| FirstSgt | brb.... | 04:44 |
| Gnea | tony99: go through those 11 pages and try the different things suggested that have worked for other people? or did you make it through those? | 04:44 |
| Dayofswords | kmen, if you dont have internet... how are you here? | 04:44 |
| jiohdi | tony, if it still does not work then either you have a corrupted version of the software or your hardware is damaged | 04:44 |
| mechdave | tony99, check to make sure your hard drives are still in order... I have a BIOS that will re arrange the boot up sequence at seemingly random intervals | 04:45 |
| sebsebseb | Dayofswords: FiReSTaRT no 9.10 final is released at the end of October https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KarmicReleaseSchedule | 04:45 |
| jiohdi | tony, there really is no other option | 04:45 |
| lstarnes | kamen: you could download the alternate CD for 8.10 then use that to upgrade | 04:45 |
| Dayofswords | ok | 04:45 |
| lstarnes | kamen: you can then use the 9.04 alternate CD to upgrade from 8.10 to 9.04 | 04:45 |
| tony99 | mechdave will "sudo fdisk -l" show me if there in order | 04:45 |
| tony99 | cuz according to that they are | 04:45 |
| Gnea | jiohdi: I doubt that. it's usually a configuration error. | 04:45 |
| jiohdi | gnea, he said if he reinstalls | 04:46 |
| sebsebseb | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KarmicReleaseSchedule | 04:46 |
| Gnea | jiohdi: and if his system configuration never changed... | 04:46 |
| tony99 | there is nothing on my ubuntu drive but ubuntu...no data | 04:46 |
| mechdave | tony99, if BIOS changes the boot order sometimes grub will throw a error 17 or 18 | 04:46 |
| optical | Hey all I just installed Ubuntu 9.04 to a partition but when i boot off the HDD it says GRUB loading, please wait.. Error 17 | 04:46 |
| optical | what gives | 04:46 |
| jiohdi | gnea, if you reinstall from scratch and it does not work... then either the software used to reinstall is corrupt or the hardware is damaged, what else? | 04:47 |
| Gnea | tony99: also, like the post says, check your devices.map file | 04:47 |
| Dayofswords | at least 9.10 is coming out soon | 04:47 |
| kamen | when? | 04:47 |
| optical | tony99: Let me guess, Error fucking 17 as well right? | 04:47 |
| lstarnes | kamen: october | 04:47 |

| Gnea | optical: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=442945 | 04:48 |
| mechdave | tony99, so make sure BIOS has /dev/sda as the first boot drive | 04:48 |
| optical | lstarnes: well i made all the partitions through the ubuntu installer | 04:49 |
| lstarnes | optical: it usually means that the partition exists but GRUB doesn't recognize its format | 04:49 |
| tony99 | http://pastebin.com/m195a926d | 04:49 |
| tony99 | mechdave i dont have an option like that | 04:49 |
| Gnea | tony99: menu.lst? | 04:49 |
| lstarnes | optical: you may need to manually edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst through the livecd to change the selected partition | 04:49 |
| optical | lstarnes: hrm, what do I change it to though? | 04:50 |
| tony99 | basically the only order i can control is "hard drisk "c" "floppy" and "cd drive" and i can change those up | 04:50 |
| mechdave | tony99, what computer you running? | 04:50 |
| tony99 | its like from 04 or 05 | 04:50 |
| tony99 | dell | 04:50 |
| Gnea | tony99: what's the model #? | 04:50 |
| lstarnes | optical: it depends on which partition and hard disk has ubuntu, and how grub detects it | 04:51 |
| mechdave | tony99, Ok make sure that c: is selected. Have you had the hard drives removed from the case? | 04:51 |

| gr8expectations | silly question o wise ones, but my touchpad is really sesitive after installing ubuntu, to the point it screws up typing all the time | 04:52 |
| tony99 | i even updated the bios.....but that didnt give me any extra options | 04:52 |
| gr8expectations | i can disable it as it is now, but it is highly annoying to do so | 04:52 |
| tony99 | mechdave like did i remove any from the tower? | 04:52 |
| gr8expectations | is there a way to adjust sensitivity? | 04:52 |
| tony99 | yea i think | 04:52 |
| Gnea | tony99: i'm guessing you have xp on the first drive? will grub boot it? | 04:53 |
| mechdave | tony99, yeah | 04:53 |
| CyberKitsune_ | isight-firmware-tools is like, broken. | 04:53 |
| wacomalt | So I installed ubuntu on a flash drive (not live, actually installed TO the drive from a CD) I would like to be able to move between two computers, each with different video cards.

| Gnea | tony99: well, that's irrelevent - do you have HDD2 set as your primary boot hard drive? | 04:55 |
| wacomalt | can ubuntu deal with me switching video cards frequently? Between an ATI card and an Nvidia card. | 04:55 |
| wacomalt | need it to detect at boot which one to use | 04:55 |

| ReaPQ | i wanna to know if steam (client for online games) work with ubuntuor if there are a vertion for ubuntu | 04:56 |
| Gnea | tony99: the MBR of SDA should have the NTLOADER for XP, while the MBR of SDC should be where grub resides. | 04:57 |
| optical | lstarnes: yes, currently using live disk | 04:57 |
| tony99 | honestly i dont know what they have or how to check | 04:57 |
| wacomalt | can I have both ATI and nVidia drivers instaled and have my USB drive install use the right onertup? at sta | 04:57 |

| Lpp | How can I get Xubuntu to recognize my iPod Touch? | 04:59 |
| tony99 | aahha...iv been using hd0 | 04:59 |
| tony99 | 6. Type "setup (hd0,3)". This is key. Other instructions say to use "(hd0)", and that's fine if you want to write GRUB to the MBR. If you want to write it to your linux root partition, then you want the number after the comma, such as "(hd0,3)". | 04:59 |
| Gnea | tony99: right, setup (hd2) should be used | 05:00 |
| tony99 | should i try not putting it on the mbr | 05:00 |
| tony99 | k | 05:00 |
| lstarnes | tony99: you will need to change the (hd0,3) according to which disk and partition is being used | 05:00 |
| tony99 | im going to signoff and try that...ill be back to post the results in about 7min | 05:00 |
| tony99 | lstarnes yes of course | 05:00 |

| Newbuntu2 | hello! Where do I put a one-line command that should be executed when the system boots? | 05:03 |
| dverweire | /etc/rc.local might work | 05:04 |
| lstarnes | Newbuntu2: either in /etc/rc.local before the exit command (if it needs to run as root) | 05:04 |
| miguelonnnn | please could you tell me what i asked before? i repeat in case you didn't read: i know . and .. are hardlinks, but why i can't remove them as root? i 've been told they are special hardlinks cause unix filesys needs them, but what makes them special ? wheres in the system files it's that written? | 05:04 |
| lstarnes | Newbuntu2: or in your crontab if needs to run as your user | 05:04 |
| lstarnes | Newbuntu2: you can access the crontab file with crontab -e | 05:04 |

| tony99 | hey it didnt work | 05:08 |
| tony99 | :( | 05:08 |
| dverweire | miguelonnnn: i am not a filesystem developer take what i'm about to say with a grain of salt. I believe that '.' is a reference to the directory you are currently in and '..' is a reference to the directory that contains '.'. You can't delete '.' because you must be in that directory in order to be able to reference it as such, thus you have a lock on the directory. | 05:08 |
| lstarnes | optical: the typical process for repairing grub is a bit long, but not very difficult. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto#Backup,%20Repairing%20and%20Reinstalling%20GRUB both have instructions useful for repairing grub | 05:09 |
| lstarnes | optical: also, are you using ext4, or a different filesystem? | 05:09 |
| optical | ext3 | 05:09 |
| optical | should i use ext4 ? | 05:09 |
| lstarnes | optical: ext3 works | 05:09 |
| tony99 | lstarnes was i supposed to do setup (hd2) or add a partition in there also | 05:10 |

| optical | /dev/sdb3 is the boot drive | 05:11 |
| optical | tony99: fresh install for me | 05:11 |
| lstarnes | optical: then it would probably be (hd1,2) | 05:11 |
| tony99 | well good luck iv had this error since june | 05:11 |
| optical | /dev/sdb1 = windows , /dev/sdb2 = swap /dev/sdb3 = ext3 | 05:11 |
| optical | tony99: frig?? | 05:11 |
| tony99 | i dont know what frig means but i wasnt jokeing | 05:11 |
| optical | lstarnes: do I just edit the grub.conf or do i have to reinstall grub somehow too | 05:11 |
| lstarnes | optical: usually editing the menu.lst is sufficient | 05:12 |
| tony99 | i see ubuntu comes with a rdc program | 05:12 |
| tony99 | is this only i client or can someone connect to me | 05:12 |
| tony99 | do i need server software | 05:13 |
| tony99 | lstarnes do u no | 05:13 |
| lstarnes | tony99: I don;t | 05:13 |
| lstarnes | tony99: I think it may just be a client | 05:14 |
| optical | eek, i dont have a menu.lst in /boot | 05:14 |
| optical | where is it supposed to be | 05:14 |
| lstarnes | optical: what about /boot/grub/menu.lst? | 05:14 |
| optical | no grub folder | 05:14 |
| lstarnes | optical: do you have a grub.conf under /boot? | 05:14 |
| optical | nope | 05:15 |

| lstarnes | oops | 05:15 |
| optical | just like config-something-generic, system.map, etc | 05:15 |
| lstarnes | accidental copy-paste | 05:15 |
| lstarnes | optical: in that case you may need to reinstall grub | 05:15 |
| optical | but i didnt want to install a boot loader even, i just wanted to boot off that HD when i choose so in bios | 05:16 |
| optical | otherwise vista will probably break | 05:16 |
| optical | urghhghgh | 05:16 |
| lstarnes | optical: I think the vista bootloader can be chainloaded by grub | 05:16 |
| lstarnes | optical: vista's bootloader can also be configured to load grub | 05:16 |
| miguelonnnn | dverweire, hi thanks for answer :) i don't know what you mean when you say i must be in the directory and thus it's locked | 05:20 |
| miguelonnnn | i've succesfully removed files while i'm in them. For example, i mkdir ~/testdir && cd ~/testdir && rm -r ~/testdir works well, but 2 first commands && rm -r . won't work being root | 05:21 |

| lstarnes | shaun_: you could revoke his sudo/su access | 05:26 |
| Sp0tter | ok got it, thanks | 05:26 |
| shaun_ | well i dont want to piss him off hes hosting my server for free : / | 05:27 |
| angel | hotelmotel: yeah they have unique ip address and Mac | 05:27 |
| lstarnes | shaun_: if he's hosting it, then you should talk to him about it and explain that it decreases both his security and yours | 05:27 |
| Bookman | shaun_: you must be making him angry by killing his process already. | 05:27 |
| hotelmotel | angel: weird indeed | 05:27 |
| angel | hotelmotel: ofcourse all AP are using one channel e.g:6 | 05:27 |
| Gouda | WHy the hell would you run it under root? | 05:27 |
| rig | I installed a copy of Ubuntu 8.04 and after the ubuntu loading screen i get kicked to command line screen that says "Check root= bootarg cat /proc/cmdline or missing modules, divices: cat /proc/modules ls /dev ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/(long string of characters) does not exist. Dropping to a shell! | 05:28 |
| shaun_ | he never responds to my messages | 05:28 |
| hotelmotel | angel: is that because you are using WDS ? | 05:28 |
| shaun_ | so he is ignoring me pretty much | 05:28 |
| shaun_ | : / | 05:28 |
| angel | hotelmotel: what is WDS? | 05:28 |
| Bookman | shaun_: take away root. He will answer. | 05:28 |
| shaun_ | he will unplug | 05:28 |
| hotelmotel | angel: nevermind, that answers that. its wireless distribution service | 05:28 |
| Bookman | rock meet hardplace | 05:28 |
| === nabeel is now known as Guest76787 | ||
| angel | hotelmotel: yes its wireless distribution service | 05:29 |
| shaun_ | Bookman, i would rather go about it the discrete way if you know what i mean | 05:29 |
| hotelmotel | angel: ok, that makes sense. | 05:29 |
| lstarnes | shaun_: is it able to run properly without root? | 05:29 |
| Bookman | shaun_: Yes, I understand. | 05:30 |
| shaun_ | yeah it is , unless he messed his permissions up by installing as root | 05:30 |
| angel | hotelmotel: what do I need to do to resolve this problem? | 05:30 |
| lstarnes | shaun_: some systems don't allow binding to ports below 1024 without root | 05:30 |
| shaun_ | hes pretty low at the data center he deals with webpages and stuff | 05:30 |
| hotelmotel | angel: are the static IP address in the same range as the DHCP range? | 05:31 |
| shaun_ | I don't recall what program i've ran that refused to run as root. Thought it would be possible to assign some permissions of some kind | 05:32 |
| shaun_ | ;/ | 05:32 |
| tony99 | does anyone know where i can get a cheap kvm over ip | 05:32 |
| tony99 | so i can get a friend to fix my pc | 05:32 |
| angel | hotelmotel: yeah they are the same range: AP1:192.168.1.100-160 AP2:170-180 AP3: 185-190 | 05:32 |
| Bookman | shaun_: do you really need this server? Is it dedicated? What do you use it for? | 05:33 |
| shaun_ | i run webpages and game servers | 05:34 |
| shaun_ | i dont need it | 05:34 |
| hotelmotel | angel: i gotta go, but I would put your static ip addys out of the DHCP range/pool. At least this is how I always handle DHCP and static. good luck | 05:34 |
| Bookman | shaun_: problem solved. | 05:34 |
| shaun_ | Bookman, i spent a bit of money on it | 05:34 |
| shaun_ | terrible | 05:34 |
| shaun_ | : / | 05:34 |
| shaun_ | its my own server though quad xeon 8 gigs of ram | 05:35 |
| shaun_ | : / | 05:35 |
| Bookman | shaun_: It happens. Move to a cheap host somewhere else. I only pay around $6.00 a month for mine. | 05:35 |
| franktcwang | Berzerker: u r there? | 05:35 |
| Gouda | if it's your own server you paid money for the douchebag needs to respect that | 05:35 |
| Gouda | so what if it's at his data center | 05:35 |
| Gouda | it's your machine | 05:35 |
| Bookman | i agree | 05:36 |
| shaun_ | I know , im getting awesome internet for free | 05:36 |
| shaun_ | thing will push 15megs | 05:36 |

| Burf | The latest release of Ubuntu brings the best open source technologies together on one platform, with the benefit of free updates for 18 months. | 05:41 |
| sargento | I boot up my PC like everybody but only shows a black screen and keyboard doesn't respond. I just installed Ubuntu 9.04 | 05:41 |
| Burf | is ubuntu not entirely free then? 18 months? | 05:41 |
| malism | how can i repair this problem ? ... | 05:41 |

| CaptainCrook | ~ | 05:41 |
| lstarnes | Burf: updates stop completely after 18 months and the release becomes unsupported | 05:41 |
| MindVirus1 | Burf: Ubuntu is entirely free. The distribution will not be supported for longer than a year and a half though as new features break old systems. | 05:41 |
| CaptainCrook | lstarnes, work! thanks! | 05:41 |
| lstarnes | CaptainCrook: is it an english keyboard, or is it french? | 05:42 |
| Burf | ah - so its just a case of updating to the new version (free) | 05:42 |
| lstarnes | Burf: yes | 05:42 |
| Burf | cool | 05:42 |
| MindVirus1 | Burf: Ubuntu will always be free and open-source. | 05:42 |
| Burf | i have had a play with linux (YDL) on my ps3 a while back | 05:42 |
| sargento | MindVirus1: Actually I try to resolve one | 05:42 |
| lstarnes | Burf: LTS (long term support) releases such as 8.04 are supported for 3 years for the desktop editions and 5 years for the server editions | 05:42 |
| MindVirus1 | sargento: http://bugs.ubuntu.com | 05:43 |
| lstarnes | MindVirus1: some optional components are proprietary, like some device drivers | 05:43 |
| CaptainCrook | lstarnes, CA Multilingual ... | 05:43 |
| MindVirus1 | lstarnes: :) Of course. Ubuntu itself though will be free. | 05:43 |
| Burf | when you install the new updated version is that a case of running an update or do you need to wipe and install fresh? | 05:43 |
| lstarnes | Burf: you can do either | 05:43 |
| Burf | ok | 05:43 |
| sargento | Is there any log file that writes down issues? | 05:43 |
| Burf | thx | 05:43 |
| MindVirus1 | Burf: I just updated to Karmic alpha without reinstalling. | 05:43 |
| lstarnes | sargento: check the files in /var/log | 05:44 |
| lstarnes | sargento: especially messages, syslog, and dmesg | 05:44 |
| Burf | karmic alpha - i cant see that | 05:44 |
| Burf | do they name their versions then? | 05:44 |
| lstarnes | Burf: you have to enable updating to development releases | 05:45 |
| sargento | lstarnes: Thanks, that's what I was looking for | 05:45 |
| lstarnes | Burf: you should probably wait until the actual final release of karmic (9.10) before upgrading to it | 05:45 |
| Burf | well i dont have ubuntu yet so i dont need to | 05:45 |
| Guest57972 | Hi all, i'm a younger guy of about 21 years old, now i have a problem with my wireless. I am using an older model Toshiba Satellite L300 - LC1 system unit.Intel Celeron and the worst thing is i know my wireless card is on but for some reason my wireless is being a pain, anyone got a better idea as to how to get this card working? | 05:45 |
| leaf-sheep | What's the word I'm looking for... to backup the partition? To make a exact replicate of 1:1 filesystem? !backup does not do it justify. | 05:45 |
| MindVirus1 | leaf-sheep: dd | 05:46 |
| Burf | just have some Q's on linux - whther converting would be a good idea | 05:46 |
| lstarnes | leaf-sheep: you could make an image of the partition using something like dd | 05:46 |
| MindVirus1 | leaf-sheep: dd if=/dev/partition1 of=outputfile.partition | 05:46 |
| leaf-sheep | MindVirus1, lstarnes: This can apply to Windows partition too? | 05:46 |
| Guest57972 | on yeah i should mention that its also a laptop | 05:46 |
| lstarnes | leaf-sheep: anything on the disk | 05:46 |
| MindVirus1 | leaf-sheep: Yes. | 05:47 |
| Burf | all the software is open source and on YDL i remember there was a program that seached for other programs to download - where do they come from - is the source code approved and how secure is that (i.e whats stopping someone writing a trojan of some kind and having it appear in that list) thx? | 05:47 |
| Newbuntu2 | lstarnes: no root needed... what's the format of crontab? looks weird | 05:47 |
| lstarnes | Newbuntu2: see man 5 crontab | 05:48 |
| leaf-sheep | lstarnes, MindVirus1: See, I recently got a netbook -- I would like to duplicate the partition (I haven't started it up yet or anything) yet. It's charging up. I suppose I'll have to run disc and command dd to copy? How do I dd to paste? | 05:48 |
| MindVirus1 | leaf-sheep: dd to what? | 05:48 |
| lstarnes | Newbuntu2: by default it uses vi or vim for editing. You can change that to nano with EDITOR=nano crontab -e | 05:48 |
| MindVirus1 | leaf-sheep: dd treats your partition like a giant file. | 05:48 |
| MindVirus1 | leaf-sheep: dd if=/dev/sda1 of=backup | 05:48 |
| leaf-sheep | MindVirus1: dd to clone the partition. In the future if I were to return it back to original partition, how would I do that? | 05:49 |
| Guest57972 | wireless and laptop and linux for some reason i can see don't want to see eye to eye | 05:49 |
| MindVirus1 | leaf-sheep: dd if=backup of=/dev/sda1 | 05:49 |
| lstarnes | Burf: the developers that maintain the official repositories and their mirrors make sure that the packages haven't been tampered with | 05:49 |
| Burf | but the developers can be anyone tho? | 05:49 |
| lstarnes | Burf: there are numerous sites and mailing lists that list reported security issues | 05:49 |
| lstarnes | Burf: the leaders of the project usually select developers | 05:50 |
| leaf-sheep | MindVirus1: I'd have to run LiveCD or such, right? | 05:50 |
| lstarnes | Burf: if it is found that their access is being abused, they will lose it | 05:50 |
| MindVirus1 | leaf-sheep: yes, in most cases. | 05:50 |
| Burf | but anyone can be a developer tho correct? | 05:50 |
| leaf-sheep | MindVirus1: Sweet. If I were to make dd of a 120GB partition, does that mean 120GB file or only those that applies? | 05:50 |
| lstarnes | Burf: anyone can be, but developers are usually chosen very carefully | 05:50 |
| syntax | How do you move a foldier if it says permission denied? | 05:50 |
| Burf | good news | 05:51 |
| lstarnes | syntax: you may need to use sudo mv folder destination | 05:51 |
| yourstruly | does anyone one know where i can find music, because I scratched up my smashing pumkins cd and I want to replace it, I already tried scratch remover and it didn't go well at all. | 05:51 |
| syntax | didnt work | 05:51 |
| AnxiousNut | pidgin fails when signing in Gmail, it tries to connect then the it freezes(the operation not pidgin) and then it doesnt work | 05:51 |
| Burf | i realised YDL is quite slow compared to windows - do ou guys notice much difference (and its ok to be honest)? | 05:51 |
| lstarnes | Burf: there are some exceptions, like the Personal Package Archives (PPAs) which are maintained by individual users instead of ubuntu's developers and package maintainers | 05:51 |
| lstarnes | Burf: ydl is not ubuntu | 05:52 |
| Burf | yes i realise that i mean linux in genral | 05:52 |
| leaf-sheep | MindVirus1: Ahh, I think I know what I'm going to do. Just want to clarify things up. Thanks. :) | 05:52 |
| syntax | lstarnes: didnt work..Is there a way i can change permissions on it or something | 05:52 |
| lstarnes | Burf: it varies | 05:52 |
| MindVirus1 | leaf-sheep: :) | 05:52 |
| lstarnes | Burf: it's usually faster, but some things may be slower | 05:52 |
| purefusion | is there a way to set all media to force mount? | 05:52 |

| lstarnes | Burf: wine is a compatibility layer that allows many windows applications to run on linux | 05:53 |
| Burf | is it fast? | 05:54 |
| lstarnes | Burf: it's about average in speed | 05:54 |
| lstarnes | Burf: some things are faster in wine than on windows, others are slower or tun at the same speed | 05:54 |
| Burf | does it require you install windows on the machine too? | 05:54 |
| jacekowski | Burf: if it works | 05:54 |
| rubik_ | Burf : Do you already have a licensed windows copy ? | 05:54 |
| Ben64 | but not everything works, and things that do work don't always run perfectly | 05:54 |
| jacekowski | Burf: ussualy it's slower | 05:54 |
| yourstruly | Ben64, thank you, but I already purchased once and I have read you can find files on irc. | 05:54 |
| Burf | i have legit windows yeah | 05:55 |
| sargento | Burf: Wine is like having Windows without needing to install, like VirtualBox | 05:55 |
| lstarnes | syntax: it sounds like a permissions error, likely with a mounted drive | 05:55 |
| rubik_ | Burf : that i would suggest to run it under virtualbox | 05:55 |
| lstarnes | syntax: you could try cp instead of mv to make a copy instead of moving | 05:55 |
| Ben64 | yourstruly: but that would be illegal :( | 05:55 |
| jacekowski | Burf: if you need reliable way of running windows applications - windows will be the best choice | 05:55 |
| franktcwang | Whoever has experiences to port VLC player on ARM-based target board? | 05:55 |

| Saik | how do you find how long your pc has been on? | 05:56 |
| Burf | i have windows - but im interested in swapping to linux (poss. ubuntu) but as i have a few long term projects in VB6 i would need to be able to run it in linux | 05:56 |

| sargento | I need where to find what is it going on, any ideas? | 05:57 |
| lstarnes | yourstruly: not usually | 05:57 |
| lstarnes | syntax: put sudo before the command | 05:57 |
| Ben64 | yourstruly: nobody really does file transfers on irc anymore, more torrents now | 05:57 |
| lstarnes | Burf: you may want to consider porting those projects to a more portable language, such as python | 05:57 |
| jacekowski | Burf: basicaly - you get what you paid for | 05:57 |
| lstarnes | Burf: wine can run many windows applications, and mono can run .NET applications | 05:58 |
| Ben64 | jacekowski: wine isn't that bad at all | 05:58 |
| Ben64 | it's really an amazing project | 05:58 |
| Burf | im not complaining - and i dont need to port to another language thank you | 05:58 |
| Burf | is momo and wine free too? | 05:58 |
| jacekowski | mono | 05:58 |
| prince_jammys | yep. | 05:58 |
| MindVirus1 | Ben64: it's pretty bad. | 05:59 |
| prince_jammys | you can get mono just by kissing the wrong person. | 05:59 |
| MindVirus1 | I avoid it at all costs. | 05:59 |
| yourstruly | ah, I see, well thanks. I have used torrents quite a bit. However I am completely new to irc (your the first person I ever talked to) so I was hoping to learn more about it and try to explore the system. | 05:59 |
| jacekowski | Ben64: it's shit | 05:59 |
| MindVirus1 | Burf: Mono and Wine are both free. | 05:59 |
| MindVirus1 | Burf: you won't need Mono for VB6. | 05:59 |
| jacekowski | Ben64: wine implements only about 50% of windows api | 05:59 |
| lstarnes | jacekowski: newer versions of wine are more complete | 05:59 |
| jacekowski | i'm talking about new wine | 05:59 |
| Ben64 | jacekowski: irrelevant, windows only supports ~50% of their api | 06:00 |
| sebsebseb | Wine is a very impressive peice of software, and those who think it's rather bad, don't know much about it | 06:00 |
| sebsebseb | usaulley | 06:00 |
| Burf | probly a bad idea conding a windows program in linux anyway | 06:00 |
| MindVirus1 | sebsebseb: it is impressive but fails to function on many levels. | 06:00 |
| sebsebseb | altough the reverse engingering and time and effort, to make Wine | 06:00 |
| MindVirus1 | It is not enterprise-quality software like the rest of Ubuntu is. | 06:00 |
| Ben64 | i run wine almost 24/7, works perfectly for me | 06:00 |
| sebsebseb | MindVirus1: Wine is not Ubuntu | 06:00 |
| Burf | can you install windows and linux on the same machine and choose OS on boot up - can that be done? | 06:00 |
| lstarnes | Burf: yes | 06:00 |
| sebsebseb | Wine is a program that Ubuntu and many other Linux distributions can also run | 06:00 |
| MindVirus1 | sebsebseb: Are you arguing for the sake of arguing? I never said anything like that. | 06:01 |
| lstarnes | Burf: that is commonly referred to as dual-booting | 06:01 |
| prince_jammys | Burf: yes, it's called dual-booting. | 06:01 |
| Ben64 | MindVirus1: you're the one saying wine is bad, even though it has proven to be quite not bad | 06:01 |
| vlvl | i downloaded ubuntu 9.04 desktop from ubuntu.com, i have windows xp, can i install ubuntu on partition d: ? | 06:01 |
| MindVirus1 | Ben64: it is bad. | 06:01 |
| Burf | is dual booting fast, i imagine i can only have 1 os running at the same time yes? | 06:01 |
| jacekowski | Ben64: it's bad | 06:01 |
| sargento | What does boostrap log is for? | 06:01 |
| lstarnes | Burf: yes and yes | 06:01 |
| prince_jammys | Burf: correct. and yes, it's fast. | 06:01 |
| Ben64 | MindVirus1, jacekowski = same person | 06:01 |
| jacekowski | Ben64: it runs maybe 20% of all windows applications | 06:01 |
| lstarnes | sargento: /var/log/bootstrap.log ? | 06:01 |
| MindVirus1 | OK.... | 06:01 |
| MindVirus1 | No. | 06:01 |
| Ben64 | also, it's not bad | 06:01 |
| MindVirus1 | Ben64: anecdotal evidence is great. | 06:02 |
| Burf | sounds more and more tempting | 06:02 |
| sargento | lstarnes: Yes, sorry | 06:02 |
| MindVirus1 | Listen, Ben64, you can stick to your opinion or you can do some reading. | 06:02 |
| MindVirus1 | Either way, I couldn't care less. | 06:02 |
| lstarnes | sargento: that looks like it may be an installation log | 06:02 |
| prince_jammys | Burf: not much to lose in trying it, really. | 06:02 |
| mkoehler | hey guys - I've got a question....what do I do if update manager / gdebi is broken | 06:02 |
| prince_jammys | Burf: time, only. | 06:02 |
| Ben64 | jacekowski: so what does it not run | 06:02 |
| Royall | vlvl: I don't think that's enough information | 06:02 |
| AnxiousNut | VLC SEGMENTATION FAULT HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP | 06:02 |
| MindVirus1 | Ben64: Any game. | 06:02 |
| Ben64 | lies | 06:02 |
| Burf | true - so long as i dont have to format my HDD to instal it and it can run beside my current OS | 06:02 |
| sebsebseb | Burf ideally you use a native Linux app, then if there isn't one for what you want to do, you can do Wine or commercial versions of it even, and then if no luck there, you can do Windows virtual machine, and then if still no luck, because it's some rather fancy app or something, psyical Windows install | 06:02 |
| sargento | lstarnes: I did think so but I'm running Ubuntu right now, just need to use recovery mode to enter and works fine | 06:03 |
| Ben64 | also, gj responding to jacekowski's question, therefore cementing that you two are in fact, one | 06:03 |
| ilembitov | Hi! Can anybody help me? i have one key broken at my keyboard. i want to use setkeycodes to make another key work instead of it, but can't get the work done | 06:03 |
| ilembitov | How do i do this? | 06:03 |
| MindVirus1 | Ben64: not at all can I see what you type. | 06:03 |
| MindVirus1 | Ben64: check my IP. | 06:03 |
| MindVirus1 | /whois MindVirus1 | 06:03 |
| MindVirus1 | What the hell? Why am I trying to prove this to you? | 06:03 |
| MindVirus1 | You're a troll. | 06:03 |
| Ben64 | you're the troll | 06:03 |
| Ben64 | "Wine won't run any game" | 06:03 |
| Ben64 | cmon | 06:03 |
| lstarnes | Ben64, MindVirus1: both of you need to stop | 06:03 |
| sebsebseb | jacekowski: Wine is far from perfect, but Microsoft don't help with Wine, and if they did, I expect it would be awesome | 06:03 |
| jacekowski | Ben64: link5000, autocad, rslogix5000, rslogix500, rsview32, b&r automation studio, avr studio, 5xxx for windows, altium designer, | 06:03 |
| Ben64 | steve ballmer does a better job trolling | 06:03 |
| Royall | Burf: Dual booting has no effect on performance at all in my experience | 06:04 |
| sargento | lstarnes: But I need to enter in Recovery Mode and select xfix almost everytime I start my PC | 06:04 |
| MindVirus1 | Ben64: I'm a few seconds away from reporting you. Back off. | 06:04 |
| Burf | oh and simcity4 i see can be ran in wine | 06:04 |
| Ben64 | MindVirus1: OH NO | 06:04 |
| Burf | Royall: how do i go about it? | 06:04 |
| jacekowski | sebsebseb: microsoft provides everything you need to make wine work | 06:04 |
| mkoehler | hey...can we forget about the trolls for a second =) and help me, of course... | 06:04 |
| sebsebseb | jacekowski: after all they keep on changing ways that software can be made for Windows | 06:04 |
| Burf | does my bios have to support it? | 06:04 |
| MindVirus1 | Ben64: push me. | 06:04 |
| Burf | i.e how do i select my OS | 06:04 |
| prince_jammys | Burf: a menu appears. | 06:04 |
| sebsebseb | jacekowski: maybe so, and in that case, only for people that know what they are doing | 06:04 |
| sargento | Burf: GRUB | 06:04 |
| brassmaster | can anyone remind me what channel i should go to to talk about karmic? | 06:05 |
| jacekowski | sebsebseb: all you need is documentation of winapi | 06:05 |
| Royall | Burf: you could burn an Ubuntu ISO to a disc to make a Live CD, and then partition your HDD after booting to the CD. See, you can boot to a burned Live CD and try out Ubuntu from there, and make modifications to your HDD from it | 06:05 |
| * Ben64 pushes MindVirus1, mkoehler -- what's your problem? | 06:05 | |
| lstarnes | Burf: the bootloader (either grub or the windows bootloader) can be configured to do that | 06:05 |
| jacekowski | sebsebseb: which can be easily found on microsoft website | 06:05 |
| sebsebseb | brassmaster: #ubuntu+1 | 06:05 |
| AnxiousNut | VLC SEGMENTATION FAULT HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP | 06:05 |
| lstarnes | AnxiousNut: please stop doing that | 06:05 |
| Ben64 | !details | AnxiousNut | 06:05 |
| ubottu | AnxiousNut: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 06:05 |
| leaf-sheep | AnxiousNut: #ubuntu+1 | 06:05 |
| Royall | AnxiousNut: Okay let me just push the "HELLPPPP" button and fix all your problems | 06:05 |
| Royall | AnxiousNut: seeing as you gave me just enough information to know what the problem is in a civil and composed manner | 06:06 |
| jacekowski | sebsebseb: but the thing is that wine will still have to translate winapi calls to linux kernel, x protocol, and other calls | 06:06 |
| knob | Hello... to create a directory via ssh, can I use mkdir ../newDIR ?? | 06:06 |
| lstarnes | knob: yes | 06:06 |
| konza | hi | 06:06 |
| knob | thanks | 06:06 |
| sargento | lstarnes: Any idea?, only found support when you can't enter Ubuntu, but I can | 06:06 |
| lstarnes | knob: throogh ssh | 06:06 |
| ilembitov | Hi! Can somebody help me? i have a key broken on my keyboard, i need to reassign this key to another one. Permanently, so i would have this key in GNOME, gdm and console | 06:06 |
| knob | and will it create it inside the directory I'm at? | 06:06 |
| lstarnes | sargento: I'm not exactly sure what needs to be done | 06:06 |
| lstarnes | knob: yes | 06:07 |
| knob | super :) | 06:07 |
| jacekowski | sebsebseb: so unless microsoft will do something really bad to windows performance, wine will never be faster than windows | 06:07 |
| sebsebseb | jacekowski: well, native Linux apps :) then Wine or commercial versions, and then Windows virtual machine | 06:07 |
| knob | thnkS! | 06:07 |
| lstarnes | sargento: you may need to reconfigure X | 06:07 |
| Ben64 | jacekowski: theres times where performance on wine exceeds windows | 06:07 |
| konza | anyone know, how to configure IMAP SERVER ? I am using ubuntu 9.04.. | 06:07 |
| sebsebseb | jacekowski: faster than Windows, well for what I been using Wine for it's, been the same | 06:07 |
| lstarnes | knob: actually, .. creates it in the directory above the current directory | 06:07 |
| jacekowski | Ben64: look at benchmark | 06:07 |
| AnxiousNut | im running 9.04, just upgraded my vlc 0.9.9a to vlc 1.0 and now each time i try to launch it, it appears then it dies | 06:07 |
| sargento | lstarnes: Let my explain you please. I'm on Ubuntu right now, I supposed it means that my actual configuration is perfect, is it correct? | 06:07 |
| lstarnes | knob: ~ is short for your home dir, . is short for the current, and .. is short for the one above | 06:07 |
| jacekowski | Ben64: it get's worse every version | 06:07 |
| MindVirus1 | jacekowski: he is a troll. He doesn't need benchmarks to evangelize WINE. | 06:08 |
| Royall | Burf: this is probably what you need: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto | 06:08 |
| lstarnes | sargento: aren't you using recovery mode? | 06:08 |
| konza | anyone know, how to configure IMAP SERVER ? I am using ubuntu 9.04.. | 06:08 |
| Royall | MindVirus1: and you're a troll feeder. You're just as responsible for the troll's health. | 06:08 |
| sargento | lstarnes: Not right now, I'm in normal mode | 06:08 |
| Burf | http://oreilly.com/linux/archive/dual-boot-laptop.html | 06:08 |
| sebsebseb | jacekowski: as for Windows games, Linux users should stop playing them :) unless they make for Linux or they work well enough in Wine, idealley | 06:08 |
| ilembitov | Hi! Can somebody help me? i have a key broken on my keyboard, i need to reassign this key to another one. Permanently, so i would have this key in GNOME, gdm and console | 06:08 |
| Burf | googling now - thx man | 06:08 |
| Ben64 | http://wiki.winehq.org/BenchMark-0.9.5 | 06:08 |
| jacekowski | sebsebseb: i don't care | 06:08 |
| AnxiousNut | launched it in the terminal and it wrote: VLC media player 1.0.1 Goldeneye | 06:08 |
| AnxiousNut | [0x915e140] main libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface. | 06:08 |
| AnxiousNut | Segmentation fault | 06:08 |
| AnxiousNut | ttries cvlc but aint workin | 06:08 |
| MindVirus1 | Royall: Pardon? How's that? He's lying and I am refuting. | 06:08 |
| FloodBot2 | AnxiousNut: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 06:08 |
| Ben64 | shows there are plenty of instances where wine wins | 06:08 |

| sebsebseb | Ben64: indeed | 06:09 |
| jacekowski | sebsebseb: linux isn't desktop OS | 06:09 |
| Burf | thx | 06:09 |
| lstarnes | jacekowski: it can be used as one | 06:09 |
| jacekowski | sebsebseb: people should realize that | 06:09 |
| MindVirus1 | jacekowski: whoa now. | 06:09 |
| Royall | MindVirus1: lest sleeping dogs lie :P | 06:09 |
| MindVirus1 | jacekowski: why do you say this? | 06:09 |
| Royall | let* | 06:09 |
| sebsebseb | Ben64: for example I am amazed at how well Sim City 4 works in Wine, ok the game is from 2003, but older games like that one, are still good | 06:09 |
| prince_jammys | cut the trollery. | 06:09 |
| Royall | go to #wine | 06:09 |
| jacekowski | most of desktop things are still messy | 06:09 |
| warpasaurusrex | sure it is.. if people use it on a desktop, it's a desktop OS | 06:09 |
| jacekowski | sound | 06:09 |
| jacekowski | graphics | 06:09 |
| Royall | I don't care if it's about the beverage wine or if it's empty just go there | 06:09 |
| sargento | lstarnes: I correct my problem by entering in recovery mode and selecting xfix to fix my X problem, and now I'm in normal mode, but when I reboot, I need to enter again in recovery mode and select xfix | 06:10 |
| Ben64 | i guess MindVirus1 couldn't hack into me so he's back to trolling | 06:10 |
| sebsebseb | jacekowski: that's nonsense of coure it is a desktop os, depending on the distribution | 06:10 |
| Burf | can you dual boot if you install 1 os on one drive and the OS on the other? | 06:10 |
| MindVirus1 | jacekowski: Surely it's just a poorly-polished desktop distro. | 06:10 |

| lstarnes | Burf: yes | 06:10 |
| sebsebseb | jacekowski: course even | 06:10 |
| lstarnes | sargento: I believe so | 06:10 |
| jacekowski | 3 different sound api implementation | 06:10 |

| Myrtti | MindVirus1: what's the problem | 06:10 |
| mic | can someone help me figure out what my wifi configuration is? please? | 06:10 |
| prince_jammys | #ubuntu-offtopic is just around the corner. | 06:10 |

| jacekowski | only nvidia with good linux drivers | 06:10 |
| MindVirus1 | Myrtti: I don't mean to bother. | 06:11 |

| Myrtti | PEOPLE, this is SUPPORT channel. Please take the OFFTOPIC elsewhere! | 06:11 |
| jacekowski | graphic maybe isn't linux developers fault | 06:11 |
| jacekowski | but sound is | 06:11 |
| bazhang | jacekowski, #ubuntu-offtopic please | 06:11 |
| sargento | lstarnes: So the problem must be happening whe I shut down my PC, because I always fix it the same way | 06:11 |
| lstarnes | sargento: that is possible | 06:12 |
| sargento | lstarnes: So, to find out what my problem is, I think the best idea is to look for any log that writes when I shutdown my PC and see what's my PC doing on shutdown, do you agree? | 06:13 |
| jacekowski | and there is one thing about commercial software - if it doesn't work you have somebody to blame | 06:13 |
| lstarnes | sargento: it is possible that the cause of the problem may not be logged | 06:13 |
| bazhang | jacekowski, this is not the chat channel; please desist | 06:14 |
| sargento | lstarnes: Any suggestions about it? | 06:14 |
| heogen | hi | 06:14 |
| lstarnes | sargento: I can't think of anything | 06:14 |
| sargento | lstarnes: Thanks a lot anyway | 06:15 |
| heogen | I would like to work making a program that can print 6 number from 1 to 38 | 06:15 |
| Ben64 | heogen: huh? like random? | 06:15 |
| MindVirus1 | heogen: this not a programming channel. Try #C, #C++, #python, #java, or #bash. | 06:15 |
| MindVirus1 | !programming | 06:15 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about programming | 06:15 |
| MindVirus1 | Meh. | 06:16 |
| knob | I didn't use mk ../newDIR I used mk ../newDIR/ and now it's like invisible... how can I remove that file/directory/whateverITis ? | 06:16 |
| knob | =\ | 06:16 |
| heogen | MindVirus1, thank you | 06:16 |
| MindVirus1 | heogen: :) | 06:16 |
| lstarnes | knob: rmdir ../newDIR | 06:16 |
| Ben64 | knob: to make a directory, use "mkdir" not just "mk" | 06:16 |
| NetEcho | hey I'm trying to find a quick way to search a directory / all of its sub-directories to see which files contain a specific string | 06:16 |
| heogen | MindVirus1, but do you think that I can got it en python? | 06:16 |
| NetEcho | anyone know a good way of doing that? | 06:16 |
| MindVirus1 | heogen: Ask #python. | 06:17 |
| lstarnes | NetEcho: grep -nHR "string" directory | 06:17 |
| NetEcho | lstarnes thanks | 06:17 |
| knob | thanks! :) | 06:17 |
| heogen | MindVirus1, ok | 06:17 |
| c1rcuit | i am attempting to do: sudo echo "0" > /path/to/thing | 06:17 |
| c1rcuit | however i gegt an error | 06:17 |
| c1rcuit | that i do not have permission | 06:17 |
| c1rcuit | how do i overcome this? | 06:17 |
| lstarnes | c1rcuit: echo "0" | sudo tee /path/to/thing | 06:17 |
| prince_jammys | c1rcuit: echo 0 | sudo tee /path/to/thing | 06:17 |
| MindVirus1 | c1rcuit: chmod 777 /path/to/thing | 06:17 |
| prince_jammys | yuck | 06:17 |
| MindVirus1 | Those are more elegant solutions. | 06:18 |
| * prince_jammys hits MindVirus with a hose | 06:18 | |
| lstarnes | c1rcuit: or sudo sh -c 'echo "0" > /path/to/thing' | 06:18 |
| MindVirus1 | prince_jammys: I never even thought of that. | 06:18 |
| NetEcho | lstarnes: so like grep -nHR "<div class="advert">" html/ | 06:18 |
| NetEcho | ? | 06:18 |
| c1rcuit | thank you | 06:18 |
| Myrtti | MindVirus1: not yours | 06:18 |
| MindVirus1 | Myrtti: pardon? | 06:18 |
| lstarnes | NetEcho: try '<div class="advert">' html/ | 06:18 |
| MindVirus1 | Yeah, not mine. | 06:18 |
| NetEcho | k thanks | 06:18 |
| MindVirus1 | i was saying the other two. :) | 06:18 |
| Myrtti | MindVirus1: changing permissions to 777 isn't a good idea | 06:18 |
| Myrtti | ;-) | 06:19 |
| MindVirus1 | Of course. I'm a bit sleep-deprived (as is the excuse, I know). | 06:19 |
| prince_jammys | c1rcuit: that happened because the shell sets up the redirection before commands (like sudo) are run, so it attempted to do it as your current user. | 06:19 |
| knob | lstarnes, is there some kind of permissions? This is odd... I try to create it via mkdir ../newdir and it does it, yet I can't cd newdir | 06:19 |
| MindVirus1 | Anyone know anything about podsleuth? | 06:19 |
| lstarnes | knob: ./newdir, not ../newdir | 06:20 |
| Ben64 | knob: ".." is one level above you | 06:20 |
| knob | oooo | 06:20 |
| knob | :D | 06:20 |
| lstarnes | knob: ../newdir makes newdir in the directory that contains the current directory | 06:20 |
| Ben64 | knob: to cd to it, you would have to do "cd ../newdir" | 06:20 |
| knob | New at this... very many thanks. :) | 06:20 |
| Rishab_ | hello every one | 06:20 |
| MindVirus1 | knob: . is the current directory; .. is one above; ../.. is two above, etc. | 06:20 |
| knob | ohh... so I was making it "outside" ... one level up? | 06:20 |
| prince_jammys | yep | 06:20 |
| Ben64 | knob: indeed | 06:20 |
| lstarnes | knob: yes | 06:20 |
| knob | super | 06:20 |
| GhostXtreme | I am trying to auto update ubuntu via shell ... Script works fine but it doesn't if I execute via crontab ... Error when executing command apt-get upgrade -y.. Any ideas ? | 06:20 |
| knob | thanks a lot | 06:20 |
| prince_jammys | you didn't want to name it literally dot-dot did you ? | 06:21 |
| Ben64 | knob: if you want to make something in the current directory, you can just do "mkdir newdir" | 06:21 |
| knob | no... fUp on my part | 06:21 |
| knob | no need for ./newdir? | 06:21 |
| Ben64 | nope | 06:21 |
| prince_jammys | no | 06:21 |
| knob | cool | 06:21 |
| knob | :) | 06:21 |
| Rishab_ | i installed ubuntu over windows XP. now logging into ubuntu am not able to change the file permission of windows partition | 06:22 |
| Rishab_ | it says not accessible | 06:22 |
| knob | and to copy... can I do cp -a /oldDir/* /newdir/ ? | 06:22 |
| Rishab_ | can any one tell me how to change the file permission of Windows partition | 06:23 |
| Ben64 | knob: nope... | 06:23 |
| lstarnes | knob: yes, except it's -r not -a | 06:23 |
| Ben64 | knob: if you do /oldDir then that means thats in the root directory of the partition | 06:23 |
| knob | ooohh... then... | 06:23 |
| knob | -a is for a file... not dir | 06:23 |
| knob | ok.. so | 06:24 |
| Ben64 | knob: you might just want "cp -R olddir/* newdir/" | 06:24 |
| knob | cp -r oldDir/* newdir/ ? | 06:24 |
| knob | w00t :D | 06:24 |
| MindVirus1 | knob: -r means recursively. | 06:24 |
| knob | and recursively? one file after another? | 06:24 |
| MindVirus1 | In other words, copy all subdirectories, knob. | 06:24 |
| knob | cool... unix command creaters really thought stuff through =) | 06:25 |
| knob | *creators | 06:25 |

| rahmu | hey guys I wanna format my PC and reinstall Ubuntu except my CD drive is out. All the tutorials I find on Google explain how to do it from a Windows machine except I don't have a Windows machine (I use Ubuntu already). Can anyone show me an easy tutorial on how to do that ? | 06:29 |
| Newbuntu2 | where do crontab errors get logged? | 06:29 |
| prince_jammys | Rishab_: are you able to access the filesystem and view the files? | 06:29 |
| Rishab_ | prince_jammys yes | 06:29 |
| prince_jammys | Newbuntu2: you mean the error output of a cron'ed script? | 06:29 |
| lstarnes | Newbuntu2: maybe /var/log/syslog or in your locak mailbox | 06:30 |
| abb | rahmu, do you have a USB drive (pen drive/stick)? you could use it in lieu of a CD drive | 06:30 |

| rahmu | abb: yes I do. But I can't seem to boot from it | 06:30 |
| prince_jammys | Rishab_: and when you try to delete the file, you get "permission denied" or similar? | 06:30 |
| abb | rahmu, hold on, I saw that link just a min ago. | 06:31 |
| Rishab_ | prince_jammys xactly more over while trying to change the permission also it denied | 06:31 |

| abb | rahmu, try this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MobileTeam/Mobile/HowTo/ImageWriting | 06:32 |
| prince_jammys | !ntfs-3g | Rishab: check this | 06:32 |
| ubottu | Rishab: check this: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions | 06:32 |
| prince_jammys | Rishab_: verify that you have that installed. | 06:32 |
| abb | rahmu, should be a guide to how to format/setup a USB drive to boot (with ubuntu) on that page, might not be the first item listed | 06:32 |
| Rishab_ | am using FAT | 06:32 |
| rahmu | abb: thx I'll check it out. | 06:33 |
| prince_jammys | Rishab_: oh, ok. | 06:33 |
| abb | rahmu, good luck. glad to help. | 06:34 |
| prince_jammys | Rishab_: what does grep vfat /etc/fstab output? | 06:34 |
| Rishab_ | prince_jammys that commands just execute without any o/p | 06:35 |
| adalal1 | hey.. anyone experiencing difficulties with updates? | 06:35 |
| prince_jammys | Rishab_: there's no line in fstab for your partition? | 06:35 |
| adalal1 | esp. with amsn dependencies? | 06:35 |
| prince_jammys | Rishab_: i can tell you a line to add if you tell me the device and mountpoint | 06:36 |
| Rishab_ | prince_jammys but the device mount and accessible | 06:36 |
| prince_jammys | i have a vfat partition, and this "works for me": /dev/hda3 /mnt/share vfat uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=077 0 0 | 06:36 |
| prince_jammys | 1000 is my user id. the device and mountpoint you'd have to change. | 06:36 |

| Rishab_ | okay | 06:39 |

| the_gamer | hi folks, i need ie4linux but i can't find it in synaptec. how to install it? | 06:43 |
| prince_jammys | !ie4linux | the_gamer | 06:43 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ie4linux | 06:43 |
| prince_jammys | !ies4linux | the_gamer | 06:43 |
| ubottu | the_gamer: ies4linux is a script that quickly and effortlessly helps you install 3 versions of IE in Wine. Information can be found at http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Main_Page including instructions specifically for Ubuntu. ies4linux is aimed at web designers and ie-only sites, so please, don’t use any of the IEs to navigate! Use Firefox! | 06:43 |

| prince_jammys | explain what you mean by "merge the contents" | 06:44 |
| zenlunatic | yeah | 06:44 |
| prince_jammys | the contents of a directory? of a file? | 06:44 |
| knob | like when using FileZilla | 06:44 |
| Rishab_ | prince_jammys echo $UID gives "0" as output | 06:45 |
| prince_jammys | Rishab_: tsk tsk. | 06:45 |
| prince_jammys | you be root. | 06:45 |
| Rishab_ | yes | 06:45 |
| prince_jammys | Rishab_: well your normal user has UID 1000 by default. | 06:46 |
| Rishab_ | i always the root user | 06:46 |
| prince_jammys | i'll skip the sermon. | 06:46 |
| zenlunatic | !root | 06:46 |
| ubottu | 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 | 06:46 |

| Rishab_ | i have but its too irritating to give password every time | 06:48 |
| prince_jammys | every time? | 06:48 |
| prince_jammys | only for special activities. and you can ''sudo -i'' for that if you must. | 06:48 |
| prince_jammys | anyway ... try a line in /etc/fstab like the one i gave. | 06:49 |

| ultraputz | but in terms of GSD, it's good. | 07:47 |
| ultraputz | after 1.5 years, i prefer it to photoshop | 07:47 |
| Burf | ive been missing out | 07:48 |
| milligan_ | you were a photoshopuser before ? | 07:48 |
| milligan_ | (ultraputz) | 07:48 |
| ultraputz | yup | 07:48 |
| Burf | yeah im a graphic designer (now and then) | 07:48 |
| ultraputz | i still am at work | 07:48 |
| milligan_ | nice | 07:49 |
| Parsley | can anyone explain how to set up a dhcp and atftp server in order to pxe boot a client? | 07:49 |
| Burf | im trying hard to see why i am not using linux rather than windoze | 07:49 |
| ultraputz | familiarity. | 07:49 |
| Burf | its becoming more and more difficult | 07:49 |
| ultraputz | try a liveboot cd | 07:49 |
| ultraputz | just download it, boot off cd and try it | 07:49 |
| Burf | i am downloading now - can i use a dvd tho rather than cd? | 07:50 |
| ultraputz | i assume so | 07:50 |
| Burf | cool | 07:50 |
| jr_max | hi all | 07:50 |
| jr_max | can i ask something? | 07:50 |
| ultraputz | for $5. | 07:50 |
| Burf | do you need wine of momo to run visual studio? | 07:50 |
| Vinceman | is user root necessary? | 07:51 |
| ultraputz | if it works, that's how it would be done | 07:51 |
| ultraputz | or virtual machine | 07:51 |
| ultraputz | vince - generally not | 07:51 |
| bluejeans | jr_max: no | 07:51 |
| jr_max | ubuntu server have a GUI ? | 07:51 |
| ultraputz | command 'sudo' replaces root, functionally. | 07:51 |
| ultraputz | jr_max, no. | 07:51 |
| Burf | what about programming - am i gonna have to learn C++ if i wanna design anything custom for linux | 07:51 |
| milligan_ | Burf, if I remember correctly, there's something called Mono or something like that that will let you develop .NET directly, without visual studio :) | 07:51 |
| ultraputz | you can install one | 07:51 |
| ultraputz | but it's bad practice to do so. | 07:51 |
| Vinceman | but an Administrator account cannot be deleted | 07:52 |
| Vinceman | it would leave the system unusable | 07:52 |
| ultraputz | vinceman -- it's not there to begin with. | 07:52 |
| Burf | cool | 07:52 |
| Vinceman | it is in my PC ultraputz | 07:52 |
| milligan_ | Burf, depends what you are making and how advanced you want it :) For the big part though, you can just make scripts for whatever needs you have. | 07:52 |
| ultraputz | it's not an account you login to | 07:52 |
| ultraputz | it's an identity | 07:52 |
| ultraputz | like a placeholder | 07:52 |
| Vinceman | if it's not necessary I want it out | 07:52 |
| Burf | scripts in what language? | 07:52 |
| ultraputz | it is as an identity | 07:52 |
| Parsley | dont use it then | 07:52 |
| ultraputz | all of root's duties are delegated through the 'sudo' command | 07:53 |
| Parsley | you can log in as root, its possible | 07:53 |
| Burf | what like shell scripts u mean (batch files - like the old dos?) | 07:53 |
| Boohbah | Burf: depends on the application | 07:53 |
| ultraputz | an 'administrator' is one who has rootś full privileges via sudo. | 07:53 |
| milligan_ | Burf, whatever really. php, bash, perl, ruby, python .. anything :) | 07:53 |
| ultraputz | burf - any language | 07:53 |
| Burf | i dont wanna go back t the 80s | 07:53 |
| Burf | php would be web based tho no? | 07:53 |
| milligan_ | aye - but you can use the cli version on your terminal to perform system tasks. | 07:54 |
| Boohbah | none of those languages were around in the 80s | 07:54 |
| Burf | can you run php without installing a seperate server (local) | 07:54 |
| Parsley | burf: if you dont like doing 50-80% of the useful stuff through 80s terminals dont use linux | 07:54 |
| milligan_ | Burf, yep | 07:54 |
| Newbuntu2 | - | 07:54 |
| Burf | i thought thats what ubuntu was | 07:55 |
| Parsley | it is | 07:55 |
| Burf | linux without the constant need for shell windows | 07:55 |
| Parsley | oh no | 07:55 |
| Parsley | shells up the ass | 07:55 |
| milligan_ | the shell windows are the power of linux | 07:55 |
| nibbler | Burf: there is not needs, there is possibilities | 07:55 |
| ultraputz | ok: think of it like this | 07:55 |
| Burf | but i can still install/run programs from desktop icons without shell? | 07:55 |
| Parsley | burf: if you wanna browse web, play games, write documents, dont need shell/terminal | 07:56 |
| ultraputz | windows is proof that there is no elegant GUI solution to system managment. | 07:56 |
| Parsley | burf: otherwise its terminals up the butt | 07:56 |
| Royall | Burf: you can install stuff using Add/Remove | 07:56 |
| ultraputz | it turns out the shell is about as good as it gets for complex systems. | 07:56 |
| nibbler | burf: sure you can! but to get all the power.... like automating a lot of stuff, which you can hardly do in, e.g. windows, you need shells | 07:56 |
| Royall | Burf: or a quick sudo apt-get install [program name here] in a terminal. it's easy to learn | 07:56 |
| Royall | but usually the program you want will be in Add/Remove | 07:56 |
| Parsley | burf: the translation is linux is still user-unfriendly towards the common user | 07:57 |
| Burf | so no desktop application launches then? | 07:57 |
| Parsley | plenty | 07:57 |
| ultraputz | burf - ? | 07:57 |
| Parsley | you can breeze through bread and butter apps | 07:57 |
| Parsley | like web browsing etc | 07:57 |
| K-Rich | but if you want to get a compicated comand yyou can do like : sudo apt-get autoremove `dpkg -l | apt-cache search bot sentry | awk '{ print $1; }'` | 07:57 |
| ultraputz | but you can put it on crack by doing launchers to scripts :-) | 07:57 |
| Royall | Ubuntu comes with Firefox, Open office (iirc), pidgin.. really all the basic apps you know and love | 07:57 |
| Burf | ive got no problem using shell windowws - i ust thought ubuntu took away the *need for them | 07:57 |
| Boohbah | Burf: sure you can do everything graphically if you want, but you are missing out on alot | 07:58 |
| Corsairs | Burf, think of commandline for advanced customization and fancy settings, but for most part all modern linux desktops are as easy to use as Mac or Microsoft | 07:58 |
| Parsley | burf: only for the bread and butter apps | 07:58 |
| * K-Rich burps, hi all :) | 07:58 | |
| Burf | awesoem - sounds good | 07:58 |
| ultraputz | think is, once you get comfortable with shell, you can do "more with less" | 07:58 |
| ultraputz | it becomes it's own kind of familiar and simple. | 07:58 |
| ultraputz | there are things that blur the line like gnome-do | 07:58 |
| Royall | you can google really any problem and someone has probably asked it before | 07:59 |
| ultraputz | where basically have a gui driven by the keyboard to launch, search, etc. | 07:59 |
| Royall | gnome-do is amazing, learn to use it and you'll barely glace at the start menu again | 07:59 |
| Parsley | burf: 90% of the time i have to use terminal to do something, its a serious pain in the ass, but the thing is i have 0% chance of doing it in windows | 07:59 |
| Burf | such as? | 07:59 |
| Royall | I mapped gnome-do to windows - space | 07:59 |
| Royall | fun as anything | 07:59 |
| ultraputz | same here :-) | 07:59 |
| ultraputz | my most recent machine does not have cairo-dock on it as a consequence. | 08:00 |
| Corsairs | and once you get used to the commandline and its uses you would look at windows and think wow how awful that OS is | 08:00 |
| ultraputz | all gnome-do now. | 08:00 |
| K-Rich | Rayall: I concur, I love gnome-do | 08:00 |
| Royall | the problem though is that Geany, Glade3, and Gimp all start with a G :P | 08:00 |
| Burf | im not looking for a free version of windows anyway - got no problem learning a new system | 08:00 |
| ultraputz | with python and tools like glade, you can write graphical applications to control shell apps fairly easily. | 08:00 |
| Parsley | you can snazz up the terminal (command line), make it transparent, diff colors, jiggle like jello if that helps >.> | 08:00 |
| ultraputz | Parsley - Jello _always_ helps. | 08:01 |
| Burf | not on my spec - lol | 08:01 |
| Royall | Yep, I wrote an app that automates uploading .pdfs to this private bit torrent tracker I'm on | 08:01 |
| Glowball | Hi | 08:01 |
| Royall | I would never have been able to do it on Vista | 08:01 |
| Vinceman | why won't generating a random password for a user stick? | 08:01 |
| Burf | oh well as long as i can jiggle my windows im happy | 08:01 |
| ultraputz | burf - you can set your desktop on fire | 08:02 |
| Glowball | I was waiting for the Ubuntu community to update my Firefox to 3.5 through the Update Manager, but it's taking quite long now... | 08:02 |
| Burf | thats it then | 08:02 |
| ultraputz | there's a compiz plugin that lets you paint with fire. | 08:02 |
| Parsley | you will want to after trying linux the first time | 08:02 |
| Glowball | Is it going to change in the nearby future or are we supposed to update by ourselves? | 08:02 |
| zcat[1] | there's one that makes water ripples too | 08:02 |
| Royall | Burf: you can make your windows flip minimized, fold closed, and explode into view | 08:02 |
| Burf | ive tried YDL on ps3 | 08:02 |
| Promethes | hi, how to tune performance of java applications (especially Netbeans 6.7) on Jaunty? Now on my AMD Athlon 64 X2 6400+ netbeans is little bit clumsy comparing to windows xp | 08:02 |
| ultraputz | Parsley - has to get opengl and all that happy first :-P | 08:02 |
| Parsley | glowball: you can do it yourself | 08:02 |
| Royall | Burf: make sure to get Simple CompizConfig | 08:02 |
| guillaume | french | 08:03 |
| Parsley | je ne parlais pas francais :( | 08:03 |
| Burf | are there any good firewalls for ubuntu | 08:03 |
| Glowball | Parsley: I know. But don't I lose all automatic updates then? Or just until the community updates to the same version as me? | 08:03 |
| amisam | enhanced zoom desktop is my favorite feature entirely | 08:03 |
| ultraputz | guillaume - #ubuntu-fr | 08:03 |
| guillaume | ok | 08:03 |
| pinoyskull | my titlebar in jaunty disappeared | 08:03 |
| Parsley | glowball: you should still get them, dunno why yours stopped | 08:03 |
| Royall | Parsley: how? | 08:03 |
| Royall | Parsley: how can you update to firefox 3.5 in advance | 08:04 |
| Burf | im assuming i still need a firewall | 08:04 |
| pinoyskull | now i cant move and resize window | 08:04 |
| Royall | Burf: I guess, but if you're behind a router I wouldn't worry | 08:04 |
| Parsley | royall: sudo apt-get install firefox and itll just see that its there but out of date and update itself | 08:04 |
| Burf | to control incoming and outgoing data - program access etc.. | 08:04 |
| Glowball | Parsley: so the community *did* update to 3.5, but my Synaptic doesn't notice it? | 08:04 |
| Parsley | glowball: dunno if it did update | 08:04 |
| pinoyskull | anybody knows how to fix this? | 08:04 |
| guillaume | sepek englisk | 08:04 |
| Parsley | glowball: if it did, thats how to do it manually | 08:04 |
| Corsairs | think ubuntu has ufw and GUFW Gui for it | 08:05 |
| Burf | so u guys dont use firewals (sofwtare) | 08:05 |
| Parsley | ubuntu comes with default firewall burf | 08:05 |
| Burf | oh ok | 08:05 |
| Zylstra555 | Hey, in Ubuntu 6.04, I am trying to sudo ./cdrom/VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run and it keeps saying: /bin/sh Bad interpreter. Permission Denied. What causes this? | 08:05 |

| ultraputz | burf - cisco pix here :-) | 08:05 |
| Burf | snob... lol | 08:05 |
| Glowball | firefox is already the newest version. | 08:06 |
| Glowball | ^ 3.0.13 | 08:06 |
| pinoyskull | my titlebar in jaunty disappeared, how do i fix this? | 08:06 |
| Burf | better find mysef a disc then | 08:06 |
| Promethes | anyone knows how to make netbeans running faster on jaunty? | 08:06 |
| axscode | hi guys, how i may able to provide static IP from my wireless. coz its jumping to other network with DHCP... | 08:07 |
| Glowball | Anyway, auto-updating though the Synaptic Package Manager then... | 08:07 |
| Glowball | It *is* there, but it's not set as default.. | 08:07 |

| ultraputz | satya - you could try realplayer if it supports it | 08:31 |
| amisam | you will have to ask one of the purist if your not wanting to add the good the bad and the ugly codecs | 08:32 |
| arnab_das | try using real player | 08:32 |
| satya | ok let me install real player | 08:33 |

| arnab_das | well since nothing else is working | 08:33 |

| arnab_das | ultraputz: since nothing else seems to be working... | 08:34 |
| dfred | I had networking working on my LAN but then installed samba4 and now one PC cant see the other. What went wrong and how can I fix or undo this? Would uninstalling it make things worse? | 08:34 |
| noise_ | ? | 08:34 |
| ultraputz | noise_, you will need to be more specific | 08:34 |
| ultraputz | if you want a curriculum suggestion, you need to figure out what kind of networking you want to learn about | 08:34 |
| ultraputz | it's a broad topic. | 08:35 |
| noise_ | cisco | 08:35 |
| noise_ | the program of the school is this http://www.harryfultz.edu.al/kolegji/adminrrjetpro.html | 08:35 |
| ultraputz | noise: look up cisco certifications, and see the order required to get what youw ant, then find materials to prepare for them, used, or on certain kinds of sites we don't talk about on this channel. | 08:35 |
| noise_ | ok | 08:36 |
| thinkertinker | ultraputz how to disable time update from network?/ | 08:36 |
| obhk | probably a stupid question, but is it possible to start X in a tty console (Ctrl-Alt-F2)? For example just to be able to view a pdf? | 08:36 |
| Flannel | thinkertinker: It *might* be that your CMOS battery is dead, so the hardware clock won't survive a reboot, but this seems unlikely | 08:36 |
| ultraputz | right click the clock | 08:36 |
| binarymutant | obhk, startx is that what your looking for? | 08:36 |
| ultraputz | and it should have an options / prefs option | 08:36 |
| ultraputz | erm | 08:37 |
| ultraputz | no | 08:37 |
| thinkertinker | Flanel th eclock doesn't reset.. it just lags behind or so.. | 08:37 |
| ultraputz | open time and date control panel | 08:37 |
| Flannel | thinkertinker: It resets when you boot, and then slowly drifts as the computer stays on? (and then sets next boot?) or what? | 08:37 |
| Adil | for the life of me i cant get my flash to boot up.. i used unetbootin to create a live usb disk | 08:38 |
| obhk | binarymutant: ah, probably, although it says Server is already active for display 0 (my Ctrl-Alt-F7 I suppose?) | 08:38 |
| ultraputz | there's an option under "time zone" | 08:38 |
| Adil | the partition is active.. and is in fat 32 | 08:38 |
| ultraputz | configuration: manual, or network | 08:38 |
| ultraputz | select manual | 08:38 |
| Adil | any suggestions please? | 08:38 |
| ultraputz | that will shut it up | 08:38 |
| thinkertinker | Flannel no.. its ok when my computer is up and running.. but when i restart the clock lags behind | 08:38 |
| ultraputz | dying clock battery? | 08:39 |
| ultraputz | or network updte issues. | 08:39 |
| thinkertinker | Flannel may be my CMOS battery is dead and the lag is the time i keep my computer off | 08:39 |
| binarymutant | obhk, I'm not sure how to run multiple X servers without xphyr | 08:39 |

| Dday | So i just installed audio cd extractor | 09:13 |
| b3rz3rk3r | Ali_nz, there are many different File Systems used in Linux, which one are you trying to use? | 09:13 |
| Dday | And it has my cd, how do i rip to mp3? | 09:13 |
| CatEater | i have a windows box, but i'd like to switch to ubuntu. what can i test ubuntu on? | 09:13 |
| zvacet | Ali_nz : from live CD or from gparted cd select partition and mark it as ext3 | 09:13 |
| obhk | CatEater: you can first try a live cd to check if all works well | 09:14 |
| DJones | CatEater: You can download an ubuntu livecd which you can use to boot your computer up with, that will run from the cd and in memory without making any changes to your hard drive, it'll let you test it before you install | 09:14 |
| CatEater | obhk: on what platform? | 09:14 |
| Ali_nz | The most commonly used linux fs? ext2 or 3? | 09:15 |
| CatEater | i don't have a physical computer that's available for booting to a livecd | 09:15 |
| obhk | just windows: burn the cd, put it in your cd-drive and reboot, your computer should recognize it | 09:15 |
| zvacet | Ali_nz : ext3 | 09:15 |
| CatEater | cd drive?! | 09:15 |
| Dday | obhk, i had to install audio cd extractor from repositories | 09:15 |
| CatEater | i have to buy a cd drive? | 09:15 |

| b3rz3rk3r | Ali_nz, these days ext3 for OS drives, and ext2 for storage | 09:16 |

| CatEater | i can't get the window to show up | 09:16 |
| jdb | vmware then | 09:16 |

| Ali_nz | so back to the original question, can I resize a partition while working on the image of it? | 09:19 |
| b3rz3rk3r | Ali_nz, you need to unmount the drives you are working on first. If you are changing your OS drive then you will need to get hold of Gparted Livecd and boot using that to edit your OS partition | 09:20 |
| boza | Could anyone please tell me how to scan with ubuntu 9.04? I've tried my UMAX ASTRA 4100 but ubuntu did not find it? | 09:22 |

| Ali_nz | b3rz3rk3r: I suppose I could resize the partition before i do the cloning.....? | 09:24 |
| b3rz3rk3r | Ali_nz, if you are cloning it then yes you will need to resize before you can clone it to a smaller drive | 09:24 |
| un|matrix | stupid Ubanto.... rebooted my system again -_- | 09:25 |

| burf | i have a RAGE 128 Pro (old i know) | 09:46 |
| burf | 1. ive done the lspci -nn | grep VGA - and it recognizes the card | 09:46 |
| lunix | I want to use a computer without GUI for music, fotos, movies, email and chat. So far I have found some programs to use: mutt for e-mail, mplayer for music and video, fbi for fotos. My only problem now is that i cant make the framebuffer work correctly. I have UN-blacklisted the framebuffer drivers for my graphic card, also tried vesa-framebuffer and vga16 framebuffer. nothing works, and fbi needs framebuffer fb0 to display graphics in console. any hints and advic | 09:47 |
| burf | 2. ive done glxinfo |grep vendor and it says vendor string is SGI VA Linux Systems | 09:47 |
| burf | so does that mean its using the correct driver? | 09:47 |
| burf | the Free, Open Source driver for many ATI graphics cards | 09:48 |
| burf | if it is then all should be ok, no? | 09:48 |
| burf | but for some reason i cant go higher than 1024x768 and i cant enable any screen effects | 09:48 |
| burf | any help would be great | 09:49 |

| sprink | zaggynl: Had the card working in debian like 2 years ago. That's why I am surprised it doesn't work in ubuntu by default | 10:02 |

| erUSUL | ActionParsnip: typo « gksudo /etc/environment » --> « gksudo gedit /etc/environment ». a quick test for path is « echo $PATH »... something is wrong with the /root folder maybe (it lacks the basrc and profile etc) | 10:11 |
| Radtoo | mehedi: other than that, you can also virtualize a full windows in ubuntu using virtualbox and the like, if wine doesn't work and you care enough... | 10:11 |
| mehedi | i have heard i have to buy wine.is it true? | 10:11 |

| ActionParsnip | Lonesword: yes they exist, they just arent wild | 10:14 |
| Radtoo | kripz: uh, I may be a bit hasty, but my experience is that if networkmanager doesn't work it may be easier to use wicd instead... nm is a bit of a problem imo. just a suggestion tho | 10:14 |

| Lonesword | Radtoo: no...I'm not confusing c with c++...just that c++ seems to be different from turbo c++ in windows | 10:19 |
| Radtoo | tarelerulz: its out for linux but not all distros already ship it in their main repositories | 10:19 |

| ubottu | tarelerulz: Firefox 3.5 Final is available for Jaunty by installing the package firefox-3.5 and firefox-3.5-gnome-support | FF3.5 is referred to as Shiretoko in your UI, see http://is.gd/1reB3 for an explanation | Hardy & Intrepid: http://is.gd/1jkNY | 10:19 |

| arand | tarelerulz: it will be in Uubntu 9.10, it is available in current 9.04 as the package "Shiretoko", it will not be updated as default in 9.04 | 10:19 |
| ActionParsnip | negev: if you have the filename you can websearch it | 10:19 |
| negev | ActionParsnip yes im aware of that, only one result on google, which is the official ddebs page that doesn't have it | 10:20 |
| lstarnes | tarelerulz, arand: the package is firefox-3.5, not Shitetoko | 10:20 |
| dare | Lol | 10:20 |
| ActionParsnip | tarelerulz: in jaunty it s a seperate app, in karmic its a proper update | 10:20 |
| joaopinto | Lonesword, that is because turbo C++ uses ANSI C++ plus some borland specific extensions and libraries, you will notice the same if you use VC++ | 10:20 |
| lstarnes | *Shiretoko | 10:20 |
| mehedi | i use ubuntu 8.10. will it be turned into a new verson if i istall updates available? | 10:20 |

| Quaoar | mehedi, no | 10:20 |
| ActionParsnip | mehedi: no it will only upgrade what you have, if you want to jump up a release you will need different steps | 10:21 |
| Radtoo | Lonesword: Yep. It is. Can't give any better suggestions than to look for a tutorial using gcc tho :) | 10:21 |

| Lonesword | Radtoo: Ok. But can u give me the name of the standard input output library? It says cout isn't declared! | 10:21 |

| Lonesword | dare: Good point. | 10:35 |
| lstarnes | Lonesword: it tells the compiler to import everything from the std namespace into the main namespace | 10:35 |
| * mechdave digs out his Friedman and Koffman | 10:35 | |
| ActionParsnip | burf: under line 22 that says "Identifier "Configured Video Device" add these lines: | 10:35 |
| ActionParsnip | burf: Driver"sis" | 10:36 |
| Lonesword | Radtoo: Yes. I got scared of the ugly blue screen and installed bloodshed dev c++ in my shcool. | 10:36 |
| ActionParsnip | burf: BusID"PCI:1:0:0" | 10:36 |
| Lonesword | OK. THAT's IT. I'm going to read a tutoria | 10:36 |
| ActionParsnip | burf: so it looks a bit like this: http://pastebin.com/d1d44caea | 10:36 |
| mechdave | Lonesword, UNIX is not necessarily a better development platform... Just different :) | 10:36 |
| GrosPoussin | /server -m irc.yozora-irc.net -j #Airsoft | 10:36 |
| Radtoo | Lonesword: also perhaps a few nitty gritty details will be nicer if you use an ide. code::blocks, kdevelop, anjuta, even eclipse + cdt... | 10:37 |
| nitroman70 | hi, I would like to redirect an incoming audio stream to my microphone input : for example, if I chat with a friend on skype, I want him to hear my audio stream instead of my microphone input. How can I do that | 10:37 |
| burf | yep saved | 10:37 |
| ActionParsnip | burf: great, now reboot | 10:37 |
| mechdave | Lonesword, I recommend you purchase an up to date C++ book and learn from that | 10:37 |
| burf | thx - brb :) | 10:37 |
| Slart | nitroman70: I've always hoped that pulseaudio would be able to do that by clicking on some secret button or something.. I haven't found the button myself though. | 10:38 |
| mechdave | Lonesword, are you studying C++ at university or school? | 10:38 |
| Lonesword | mechdave: School.......I've to learn c++ for the next 2 years | 10:39 |
| Radtoo | Lonesword: ah, the blue screens... well, newer incarnations of the software you were accustomed to are still good. but open source can do fine, too. I think aforementioned IDE are a match or better for that ide you mentioned :) | 10:39 |
| Slart | nitroman70: I'm also pretty sure you could do it using dmix and alsa.. but it's been too long since I've messed with it and I've forgotten most of the syntax.. but it's a software mixer you can use to combine audio streams and so on.. there has to be a way to do what you want with it | 10:39 |
| mechdave | Radtoo, Lonesword when I studied C++ at university we started out with a text editor and g++ so it gave us a good background in the language and not hiding anything in an IDE | 10:39 |
| Lonesword | mechdave: And books...i've got loads of old c++ books (my dad's)...but I've never had the time (and guts) to read through the 5 inch thick book | 10:39 |
| nitroman70 | in fact, there is no pulseaudio on the computer I wish to do that (I think so, it's kubuntu 8.04) | 10:39 |
| burf | ok done | 10:40 |
| ActionParsnip | burf: better? | 10:40 |
| Lonesword | mechdave: But the people at my school doesn't even have an idea on unix...........I know better about computers than my teachers! | 10:40 |
| burf | res still shows max of 1024x768 | 10:40 |
| mechdave | Lonesword, Your dad's books may not be all that up to date... I am finding problems even now 9 years after leaving uni to keep up with C++ changes | 10:40 |
| * dare envies nitroman70's pulseaudioless computer | 10:40 | |
| ActionParsnip | burf: ok what do you prefer? | 10:40 |
| burf | 1280x1024 | 10:40 |
| ActionParsnip | burf: ok then run: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 10:41 |
| Radtoo | mechdave, Lonesword: Well, I myself am not a fan of the "no ide=better programmer" doctrine. It only matters if the IDE hides every last detail under *click* buttons, as far as I'm concerned. | 10:41 |
| mechdave | Lonesword, We can continue this conversation in #ubuntu-offtopic if you wish | 10:41 |
| Radtoo | ye, agreed. offtopic | 10:41 |
| Lonesword | ok | 10:41 |
| Slart | nitroman70: this page has some information.. nothing about sending audio output to a mic though.. but it might give you some ideas http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin | 10:41 |
| Vazurro | I have had a little problemz. In the penguinfucker.css has 2 major error | 10:41 |
| nitroman70 | I got my audio stream coming through ssh tunnel on port 9090 (when I run vlc and start listening on http://localhost:9090, it works), but I don't know how to redirect it to the microphone input | 10:41 |

| goddard | i have no sound on mplayer using oss | 10:46 |
| lstarnes | goddard: you have aready said that multiple times | 10:46 |
| Ileden | might there be some internet service that would allow me to check if I can connect to a specific port? | 10:46 |
| lstarnes | goddard: does it work with other sound systems such as alsa or pulseaudio? | 10:46 |
| goddard | no | 10:47 |
| lstarnes | Ileden: there is telnet-ssl | 10:47 |
| zcat[1] | telnet ought to at least connect, even if it can't do any more than that? | 10:47 |
| Ileden | lstarnes: thanks, I'll try that! | 10:47 |
| lstarnes | goddard: another application may be using the sound system, causing mplayer to be unable to use it | 10:47 |
| rubik_ | ya telnet will connect, i use that all the time. And if you know the protocol, you can log into the mail server too through telnet | 10:47 |

| acron17 | ActionParsnip: jaunty | 11:09 |
| Myrtti | NetEcho: I meant the mode in diff that you can use to make patches | 11:09 |
| omarhu | ok ... | 11:09 |
| omarhu | now | 11:09 |
| NetEcho | oh | 11:09 |
| Radtoo | CaT_MaNZz: also (at least some branch of) wicd has got command line functionality... ncurses included | 11:09 |
| omarhu | i have another question | 11:09 |
| Radtoo | CaT_MaNZz: I saw that on another dist tho, no telling if it was patched or vanilla... but it is pretty nice. | 11:10 |
| NetEcho | Myrtti trying a split column view | 11:10 |
| ActionParsnip | acron17: could try the 96 driver | 11:10 |
| AnxiousNut | what's the difference between "sudo apt-get --purge remove" and "sudo apt-get purge <name>" | 11:10 |
| nibbler | iamleneko: if you have to default gws, how would the kernel know whichone to take? | 11:10 |
| iamleneko | nibbler, well commenting out one of the gateway seems to work, it will do the job for now | 11:10 |
| omarhu | i will install ubuntu on the second partition | 11:10 |
| iamleneko | nibbler, indeed | 11:11 |
| acron17 | ActionParsnip: why should i try a different diver? the vanta card is supposed to be supported by the 71 driver as stated here: http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/169.12/README/appendix-a.html | 11:11 |
| nibbler | iamleneko: if you want to have two gateways, like failover, loadsharing etc, things get complicated. check for some iproute2 howto stuff... but this is not easy or anything :) | 11:11 |
| burf | no email notification - but thats ok i suppose | 11:11 |
| omarhu | how can i delete the o? | 11:11 |
| zp | hi anyone have documentation or tutorial on installing ubuntu on ARM? | 11:11 |
| omarhu | how can i delete the one i have togethe Windows? | 11:11 |
| zp | any pointer or guide? | 11:11 |
| iamleneko | nibbler, i did have some try with it in the past, and yes it is some pain (and not have the time for it) | 11:12 |
| sublimey | good morning, could someone please help me downgrading kaffeine? i've searched the web, but can't find any help or how to's? | 11:12 |
| Randai | you mean the media player? | 11:13 |
| sublimey | yeah thats the one | 11:13 |
| iamleneko | nibbler, thanks a lot for your help | 11:13 |
| omarhu | ??? | 11:13 |
| Randai | should be in the uhh repositories? | 11:13 |
| iamleneko | i can go back to work now :) | 11:13 |
| nibbler | iamleneko: welcome, bye | 11:13 |
| cummseng | How come my linux laptop cannot resolve a computers hostname but my windows machine can? | 11:14 |
| omarhu | how can i delete the one i have togethe Windows? | 11:14 |
| sublimey | the latest version is 1.1svn and i want the old 0.8.7 | 11:14 |
| Randai | in jaunty, that's what its listed as. | 11:14 |
| nibbler | cummseng: hosts file? different nameservers? resolved via windows networking - to name some possibilities | 11:14 |
| ActionParsnip | acron17: well what you have isnt working so to me it makes sense. have you tried modifying xorg.conf? | 11:14 |
| Randai | as in the jaunty repositories that is. | 11:14 |
| burf | where can i find things to put on desktop to make it look good - dunno what exactly - is there a place? | 11:14 |
| ActionParsnip | acron17: or reading /var/log/Xorg.log.0 | 11:14 |
| nibbler | omahn: i dont understand your uestion | 11:14 |
| Radtoo | cummseng: .. woops, nibbler already answered that. can you give us the hostname you're trying to resolve? | 11:14 |
| cummseng | nibbler, i think its resolved via windows networking, how can i get this functionality? | 11:14 |
| ActionParsnip | burf: www.vladstudio.com | 11:15 |
| rubik_ | burf : add/remove screenlet | 11:15 |
| cummseng | Radtoo, its just the name of the computer. Loungeroom-PC | 11:15 |
| sublimey | erm, sorry i'm running koala alpha 4, and kaffeine has broken, so i wanted to downgrade the version | 11:15 |
| jmaina | hey Guys i have noticed that Debian doesnt have really good graphic support for Dell Laptops... i had to use the vesa default... | 11:15 |
| Randai | ahh right. | 11:15 |
| ActionParsnip | !karmic | sublimey | 11:15 |
| ubottu | sublimey: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 | 11:15 |
| Radtoo | burf: also gnome-look.org, kde-look.org and there's also a ton of desktop additions that "look good" in the form of programs. | 11:15 |
| jadz | Hey guys i have an issue with the volume control not working correctly when i use the multimedia keys on my laptop (dell 6400). When i press vol+/- it seems to change the status of the volume, but the volume itself doesn't change. Any ideas? | 11:15 |
| bazhang | jmaina, debian? | 11:15 |
| jmaina | anyone know how to install the driver for the ati graphics card.....??? | 11:15 |
| ActionParsnip | !ati | jmaina | 11:16 |
| Radtoo | cummseng: ... yes, but where do you enter it? | 11:16 |
| ubottu | jmaina: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 11:16 |
| acron17 | ActionParsnip: i added Driver "nvidia" and xorg failed to start... (EE) Failed to load /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//nvidia_drv.so | 11:16 |
| cummseng | Radtoo, im trying to use gigolo | 11:16 |
| ActionParsnip | acron17: ok did the dkms step of the driver install complete? | 11:16 |
| jmaina | mad thanks ubottu... i just wanted to know how to install the driver... for my curiosity | 11:16 |
| cummseng | Radtoo, i cant even ping it | 11:16 |
| ActionParsnip | !bot | jmaina | 11:16 |
| mehedi | how i can convert pdf file in ubuntu? | 11:16 |
| ubottu | jmaina: Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots | 11:16 |
| adac | Is there a virtual machine that can boot from usb stick? | 11:17 |
| acron17 | ActionParsnip: yeah i think so. lsmod shows me nvidia is loaded and the dmesg is ok i think | 11:17 |
| ActionParsnip | mehedi: convert to / from what? | 11:17 |
| Randai | jmaina: you after the 9.8 version? Just installed it the other day for my HD4850 | 11:17 |
| sublimey | its just that kaffeine now recongises my dvb card as dual tuner now, :/ and comes back with a "demultiplexer error" , so is it possible to downgrade kaffeine, i'm sure i have done this with other programmes :) | 11:17 |
| mehedi | from pdf to word document? | 11:17 |
| ActionParsnip | acron17: uninstall the driver and in xorg.conf set it to Driver 'nv" | 11:17 |
| Radtoo | cummseng: hmm, seems like that could be either SMB or FTP or SFTP... I guess its a window share then, tho. | 11:17 |
| Radtoo | cummseng: well, pinging would resolve names differently than smb would. at least usually. | 11:18 |
| acron17 | ActionParsnip: but i do need hw accel :-/ | 11:18 |
| Radtoo | cummseng: I bet you can ping the computer's IP address if it is not firewalled or the router prevents it, tho. | 11:18 |
| sprink | so I finally got my sound working in ubuntu but it doesn't work in flash apps. Any idea? | 11:18 |
| cummseng | Radtoo, yes i can ping the ip, but not the hostname. | 11:18 |
| Randai | sprink: what sound system you using? | 11:19 |
| ActionParsnip | acron17: i know, but if you install the driver from fresh it sometimes makes it work | 11:19 |
| jmaina | Randai... i had tried it before it was a major disaster ended up saying things im really glad the computer doenst understand human... :) | 11:19 |
| mehedi | How can i convert pdf file into word document ? | 11:19 |
| sprink | Randai: I have a audigy 2 but I am just using headphones | 11:19 |
| acron17 | ActionParsnip: ok. so what do you suggest? | 11:19 |
| Randai | jmaina: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Jaunty_Installation_Guide was a good guide as far as installing it went | 11:19 |
| ActionParsnip | acron17: sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia*; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove; sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 11:19 |
| Randai | sprink: as in alsa? pulse audio? | 11:20 |
| Radtoo | cummseng: That's because the name resolution for windows shares and web sites / pinging / etc can work differently. | 11:20 |
| ActionParsnip | mehedi: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/pdf-to-doc-converter-344569/ | 11:20 |
| sprink | Randai: alsa | 11:20 |
| zp | ubottu, tell User about ARM | 11:20 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ARM | 11:20 |
| acron17 | ActionParsnip: ok and then? sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-71 ? | 11:20 |
| Randai | sprink: as right, sorry only dealt with OSS4 in regards to getting flash sound working perfectly. | 11:20 |
| NetEcho | Myrtti so meld makes it easier to see exactly which parts changed? | 11:21 |
| ActionParsnip | acron17: run all that and reboot, then once back to desktop, rm ~/.nv*; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-71 | 11:21 |
| Randai | sprink: the only thing I could suggest would be to try flash 10 if you already haven't. | 11:21 |
| acron17 | ok, i'll try... | 11:21 |
| cummseng | Radtoo, My router can see the names of my windows machines, how come it cant see linux? | 11:22 |
| sprink | Randai: ok thanks | 11:22 |
| ActionParsnip | mehedi: you can use pdfedit as well instead of converting to a nonporable format | 11:22 |
| grawity | cummseng: Windows machines use some NetBIOS thing for broadcast name resolution. On Linux, that function only comes with Samba. | 11:22 |
| mehedi | is Wine is free? | 11:23 |
| cummseng | grawity, i have samba installed and a share on that server already. | 11:23 |
| Radtoo | cummseng: Again, it is important to tell what "type" of name you mean... regular host names as used for web servers and such, or the windows share names? | 11:23 |
| ActionParsnip | mehedi: yes, i know of only 4 paid for apps in linux | 11:23 |
| ActionParsnip | mehedi: wine is free | 11:23 |
| roy_ | Hi! I want a nice gui boot menu like rh in ubuntu 9.04. Any recommendations/suggestions? | 11:23 |
| grawity | cummseng: Do Windows systems "see" your server? | 11:23 |
| cummseng | grawity, yes, i can see it browing the network, i can ping the hostname | 11:24 |
| ActionParsnip | roy_: none really, its on the screen for like 20seconds, who cares | 11:24 |
| burf | am i using kde or gnome currently? | 11:24 |
| Randai | ActionParsnip: uhh what 4 apps do you know that cost money? | 11:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Randai: penumbra, nero4linux, cedga, crossover office | 11:24 |
| roy_ | I care. Because of the looks. | 11:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Randai: those are the ones i know | 11:25 |
| Randai | ActionParsnip: right, nothing important from the list ha ha | 11:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Randai: penumbra is very worth the money | 11:25 |
| grawity | roy_: Grub can have a background set. | 11:25 |
| sublimey | roy, http://www.howtoforge.com/mac4lin_make_linux_look_like_a_mac | 11:25 |
| Radtoo | mehedi: you already were answered this question about wine 2 times before... I find it odd that you ask again? | 11:25 |
| burf | wwhat am i using by default? | 11:25 |
| bazhang | burf, ubuntu is gnome, kubuntu is kde | 11:26 |
| roy_ | Is grub gfx (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Grub-gfx) any good? | 11:26 |
| ActionParsnip | burf: if its got a button on the bottom bar with a K on it, its KDE, otherwise you will have a bar at the top and one at the bottom and be Gnome | 11:26 |
| don-i | this channel is alot more alive than efnets #ubuntu | 11:26 |
| burf | cool thx | 11:26 |
| ActionParsnip | burf: you can however install any DE on your system that you like | 11:27 |
| Randai | ActionParsnip: hmm, what is it, only thing I don't know. Searching doesn't seem to bring up anything | 11:27 |
| grawity | roy_: grub-gfx seems to be exactly like the normal grub | 11:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Randai: scary first person shooter using lots of ragdoll physics, its hugely interactive and a puzzler | 11:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Randai: the demo isnt bad at all | 11:27 |
| sublimey | roy, if you follow that guide i linked to, theres a section on modifying grub | 11:27 |
| Randai | ActionParsnip: right, now I know what the name is from. Was thinking of "software" software. Not a game. | 11:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Randai: http://www.penumbragame.com/ageGate.php | 11:28 |
| roy_ | But what about the nice bg and reorganised, better looking menu? Is it doable on the current grub in ubuntu? | 11:28 |
| _winderer_ | how can i give net conection throught eth0 any help , somebody pls | 11:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Randai: a game is softwae | 11:28 |
| Radtoo | cummseng: you know what? do you have bind and its tools installed on your ubuntu? you can use "dig" to query the regular name servers as they are used on the internet (no netbios), that might answer some questions. | 11:28 |
| Randai | ActionParsnip: yeah I know. It just doesn't cross my mind as such in most circumstances, as in I think of development tools and such before I come to having a game in mind. | 11:29 |
| grawity | roy_: You can set a background - but there are some limitations, as you can see in that Arch wiki page. | 11:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Randai: gotcha | 11:29 |
| roy_ | Look at this: http://tuxenclave.wordpress.com/2008/01/18/how-to-install-gfx-grub-in-ubuntu/ I would really like to have a more red hat - like menu though... | 11:29 |
| cummseng | Radtoo, Grawity, i figured it out. I had to add wins to /etc/nsswitch.conf | 11:29 |
| Radtoo | cummseng: I think we can set up the linux machines similarly if we know whether you need samba, a normal name server entry (possibly asked for by dhcp) ... | 11:30 |
| Radtoo | cummseng: ah, nice | 11:30 |
| grawity | roy_: I even have a script for Ubuntu, to change grub splash: http://sprunge.us/hPDb | 11:30 |
| grawity | roy_: gfx-grub looks nice though :\ try installing it. | 11:30 |
| sublimey | i use http://sourceforge.net/projects/startup-manager/ to change grub :) | 11:30 |
| burf | how do you use the cube if its enabled? | 11:31 |
| acron17 | ActionParsnip: re. did as you suggested... no luck error in Xorg-log is: (EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (NVIDIA X driver not found) | 11:31 |
| ActionParsnip | burf: ctrl+alt+ click and drag | 11:31 |

| ActionParsnip | burf: yes with alt + ctrl held | 11:32 |

| jmaina | hey i would like to format a usb disk using the dd utility.., just not sure on the command syntax, anyone who knows how to do that... | 11:32 |
| ActionParsnip | burf: have you enabled it in ccsm? | 11:32 |
| sublimey | enable cube, enable cube rotation too | 11:32 |
| grawity | jmaina: you don't. dd is not for "formatting" | 11:32 |
| burf | i enabled cube | 11:33 |
| ActionParsnip | burf: have you ran: compiz --replace ? | 11:33 |
| ActionParsnip | acron17: not sure then, i'd try different drivers til you hit the gold | 11:33 |
| burf | i installed compiz config | 11:33 |
| sublimey | rotate cube is 2nd ccsm option you need | 11:33 |
| ActionParsnip | burf: means nothing, yu can install openofficec and never run it, same deal | 11:33 |
| jmaina | grawity: but u can use it to clean the disk cant u...???? | 11:34 |

| alankila | damn that ndiswrapper is a nice idea, but a pity that it doesn't work perfectly. I think it's the highest height of irony if, at some point in the future, the stable drivers API turns out to be win32/64 driver API for linux. | 11:56 |
| Trijntje | Hi all. In applications -> add software there is a star rating for each packet. is this rating based on the use of the application or the number of installs? | 11:57 |

| O__o | hi can someone tell me if this command will print double sided?? | 12:01 |
| Radtoo | chuuk: in fact it it is more powerful in the default configuration, if you don't want to bother with customization and don't mind using alt instead of the window key. I'm sticking to it until awesome 3 is more well documented, even though I can do basic lua. | 12:01 |

| smulcahy | but it seems to ignore them | 12:08 |
| Radtoo | chuuk: np, good luck | 12:08 |
| smulcahy | as a workaround, i've brought down the network, rmmod forcedeth and then modprobe forcedeth with the options | 12:08 |
| smulcahy | and this works, so the options are good | 12:09 |
| smulcahy | does anyone know why /etc/modprobe.d/options isn't working? | 12:09 |
| smulcahy | I've googled this extensively but most stuff I've seen suggests it should still be working | 12:09 |
| smulcahy | do I need to rebuild the initrd to get the options picked up? | 12:09 |
| francisfelidae | how do I find the program which uses the module garmin_gps? | 12:10 |
| Radtoo | new2Linux-afk: when you get back, it could help if you installed hwinfo and posted its output as well. (hwinfo = mostly the same as lshw but more verbose) | 12:10 |
| Radtoo | francisfelidae: Is that a kernel module? kernel modules don't usually belong to a single program... | 12:11 |
| francisfelidae | Radtoo, yes, it is. But I cannot modprobe -r that module because it is in use | 12:12 |
| Radtoo | francisfelidae: in fact most kernel driver modules just enable hardware, which then is accessible at a location common for the type of hardware. for instance, keyboards and mice ultimately get /dev/input/event symlinks and such. | 12:12 |
| R_A_S_H_ | I was wondering if anyone could help me with a .rar problem i was having | 12:13 |
| Radtoo | francisfelidae: aah. well, that doesn't need to mean that its in use by a program, it can also mean that it is in use by another kernel module... | 12:14 |
| Radtoo | francisfelidae: "lsmod" for starters | 12:14 |
| francisfelidae | Radtoo, so can you give me hints how I can find the existing link or binary or dependencies or whatever which uses that module? | 12:14 |
| Radtoo | francisfelidae: modprobe --show-depends is also not bad | 12:15 |
| chuuk | Radtoo: so, something came up | 12:16 |
| akm1 | Does anyone know how to run multiple nohup jobs in the same directory but sending the output to different files? I don't want the jobs all appending to the same nohup.out file | 12:16 |
| francisfelidae | Radtoo, usbserial is used by garmin_gps, but garmin_gps isn't used by any module | 12:16 |
| chuuk | Radtoo: it turns out that after i open any app that requires GNOME (?) such as xChat, Firefox etc, the keybinding (Mod4+Enter) begins to work... :S | 12:17 |
| chuuk | Radtoo: also, the terminal that it opens isn't an xterm but a gnome-terminal | 12:17 |
| Radtoo | francisfelidae: you know, I think it is not always a good idea but in this case, why not just "rmmod -f" it... of course you could go figure out what program ultimately uses the module with lsof and co but I think there's no very convenient way to do that :) | 12:18 |
| sergeykish | Hello, I have a problem with pairing mobile phone, checked '1234' and '0000', created the /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf (there was no such file, why?) with passkey '1234' and restart bluetooth, but get the same. Can you help me? | 12:19 |
| Radtoo | chuuk: sounds a bit like the TERM variable wouldn't be set until then... | 12:20 |
| Radtoo | chuuk: what happens if you, say, export TERM="xterm" ? :) | 12:21 |
| Radtoo | chuuk: (hm... not sure if that works if its a child console tho.. guess its best to set it up before even xorg starts or something) | 12:21 |
| francisfelidae | Radtoo, hm... ok. thanks. I think I have to reboot. I wish I was back to windows. I could have the same problems there... | 12:22 |

| Trijntje | Hi all. In applications -> add software there is a star rating for each packet. is this rating based on the use of the application or the number of installs? | 13:21 |
| jef_ | Trijntje, I think it's the number of installs | 13:22 |
| joaopinto | Trijntje, number of installs | 13:22 |
| jef_ | Trijtnje, when installing Ubuntu you can choose to submit your data | 13:22 |
| jef_ | Trijntje, but it's not enables by default i believe? | 13:22 |
| klaus_freestyle | hello | 13:22 |
| Trijntje | joaopinto: thanks | 13:22 |
| klaus_freestyle | someone plays chess? | 13:23 |
| Trijntje | jef_: true, but i'm helping translate ubuntu in my native language, and its better to do the popular apps first. | 13:23 |

| klaus_freestyle | I cant start chess in 3d mode | 13:24 |
| KaiForce | for those of you using firefox/thunderbird, what are you using for calendar? | 13:24 |
| grawity | KaiForce: Mozilla Lightning. | 13:24 |
| grawity | KaiForce: It's an addon for Thunderbird, can sync with Google Calendar too. | 13:24 |
| KaiForce | grawity: sweet thanks, that's what I'm looking for. | 13:24 |
| klaus_freestyle | After I choose the 3d option, the chess dont start | 13:25 |
| grawity | KaiForce: There's a separate program Mozilla Sunbird, does basically the same but isn't integrated with Thunderbird. | 13:25 |
| KaiForce | i've seen sunbird, but since I was still using MS Office I didn't use it much | 13:25 |
| Dr_Willis | klaus_freestyle: that 3d option has NEVER worked.. that ive seen.. in the last few releases.. Im not sure it has ever worked at all. | 13:25 |
| Dr_Willis | klaus_freestyle: use the 2d options. | 13:25 |
| klaus_freestyle | thanks, but I cant start to change 3d to 2d mode | 13:26 |
| klaus_freestyle | it saved this option | 13:26 |
| Dr_Willis | klaus_freestyle: find the config file the program uses and delete it i guess. or check the command line options for the program it may have some arguments | 13:26 |
| klaus_freestyle | thanks, I will try this | 13:27 |

| negev | hi, im running a hardy server and it has php 5.2.4-2-ubuntu5.6. i was looking for a ddeb earlier and the only one available is 5.2.4-2-ubuntu5.7, but if i apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade there is no upgrade available for php. does that mean i need to dist-upgrade? | 13:37 |
| mazda01 | hellome, sudo kill dopings.sh or maybe you have to know the pid number by using ps aux | grep dopings.sh | 13:37 |

| stefan___ | y | 13:41 |
| grawity | hellome: ps -ef | 13:41 |
| mazda01 | hellome, or, ps aux | grep dopings.sh | 13:41 |
| Dr_Willis | hellome: or 'ps ax | grep PATTERNOFTHEPROGRAM' | 13:41 |
| Dr_Willis | dident we just answer that? :) | 13:41 |
| llutz | pgrep dopings.sh | 13:42 |
| wartalker | thanks all | 13:42 |
| Dr_Willis | time to check out 'bash job controll' theres proberly 12+ ways to get the pid. | 13:42 |
| Dr_Willis | ohh pgrep.. thats one ive not used in years | 13:42 |
| mazda01 | that's awesome, pgrep that is. | 13:42 |
| llutz | pkill to save one step | 13:43 |
| mazda01 | that's what's so cool about linux. you learn something new all the time! | 13:43 |
| Dr_Willis | I always forget the specilized commands. | 13:43 |
| hellome | haha | 13:43 |
| hellome | :) | 13:43 |
| Dr_Willis | My fave however is 'unp' | 13:43 |

| BinWasel | hello | 13:46 |
| BinWasel | i need help please | 13:46 |
| mazda01 | BinWasel, hello | 13:46 |
| BinWasel | hell mazda | 13:46 |
| mazda01 | BinWasel, just ask instead of telling us you need help | 13:46 |
| grawity | Dr_Willis: ps ax (without dashes) is BSD style, ps -ef (with a dash) is SysV/POSIX, if I remember correctly. | 13:46 |
| BinWasel | pls i want to instaal pakege deb | 13:46 |
| hellome | mazda01, my first time to write the script.... just a very simple one... ip sequence pings.... | 13:46 |
| BinWasel | how to do? | 13:46 |
| === christian is now known as Guest61968 | ||
| === serpp is now known as serp | ||
| mazda01 | BinWasel, you should be able to install it from the command line using dpkg -i packagenamehere I think. | 13:47 |
| llutz | SkyNetMaster: use "unexpand" | 13:47 |
| === iAlex is now known as Guest98002 | ||
| mazda01 | hellome, oh, have you goggled it. i am sure there are already plenty of examples to follow. | 13:48 |
| BinWasel | i did that befeor but the command lkine not atual with me no | 13:48 |
| BinWasel | now* | 13:48 |
| Dr_Willis | hellome: check out the 'sing' command. its a scriptable ping variant | 13:48 |
| Dr_Willis | !info sing | 13:48 |
| ubottu | sing (source: sing): A fully programmable ping replacement. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.1-17 (jaunty), package size 47 kB, installed size 164 kB | 13:48 |
| mazda01 | BinWasel, huh? what do you mean the command line isn't with you now? | 13:48 |
| BinWasel | dpkg --install pakagenane ... is that command correct | 13:48 |
| mazda01 | BinWasel, if that's what man dpkg says than yes. | 13:49 |
| BinWasel | no | 13:49 |
| Pici | BinWasel: You need to be in the same directory as the file to do that. Additionally, if you have a graphical environment, you should be able to just double click on the deb file to install it. | 13:49 |
| hellome | thanks dr & mazda | 13:49 |
| BinWasel | ok pici | 13:50 |
| mazda01 | BinWasel, theres a gui installer for debs. i think it's called gdeb or something like that allows you to just double click on the deb file from a file browser like nautilus or konquerer | 13:50 |
| BinWasel | but what if the pakgename has tar.gz extention? | 13:50 |
| grawity | BinWasel: .tar.gz archive? | 13:50 |
| Pici | BinWasel: Then its not a deb package. Its a compressed archive. | 13:50 |
| hellome | i tried what is suggested earlier but not working for me --- stop a running script | 13:50 |
| grawity | BinWasel: 1) unpack it. | 13:50 |
| grawity | BinWasel: 2) look for a file called "README" or "INSTALL" inside. | 13:51 |
| BinWasel | how grawity? | 13:51 |
| hellome | anyways | 13:51 |
| mazda01 | BinWasel, then you need to either look for a package that's in the repos or a deb on the internet or build it from the source files which are most likely in the tar.gz | 13:51 |
| tigsworth | then probably ./configure file :) | 13:51 |
| mazda01 | BinWasel, tar -xvvzf filename | 13:51 |
| SkyNetMaster | llutz, thank you! :) | 13:51 |
| mazda01 | I just got this when doing an upgrade. E: linux-image-2.6.28-15-generic: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2 | 13:51 |
| grawity | BinWasel: tar xvf filename.tar.gz | 13:52 |
| Dr_Willis | grawity: 'unp' is less typing. :P heh. | 13:53 |
| Daniel1 | Hey | 13:53 |
| grawity | Dr_Willis: But harder to type and to remember | 13:53 |
| Dr_Willis | its favorite commands that people rarely know about day! | 13:53 |
| grawity | strlen("tar xvf") < strlen("sudo apt-get install unp; unp"); | 13:54 |
| grawity | I wonder how many people know about 'less file.tar.gz' or 'dog' or 'sl' | 13:55 |
| Daniel1 | For some reason firefox will not download anything, all downloads get stuck on 'starting' and update manager is also slow, is there anything I can do? | 13:55 |
| Dr_Willis | grawity: how about 'zmore' (or was it zless' | 13:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Daniel1: is you ~/.mozilla folder owned by you? Is there space on the partition you are saving the file to? | 13:56 |
| Daniel1 | definitely space, I'll check the ownership though | 13:56 |
| Hydrid | hello room | 13:58 |
| tigsworth | does anyone know what file /boot/grub/menu.lst is about please? | 13:58 |
| Radtoo | tigsworth: it contains the entries in the initial boot manager... | 13:58 |
| jigs | tigsworth that the configuration file for GRUP boot manager | 13:58 |
| grawity | jigs: GRUB* | 13:58 |
| jigs | yes, thanks for the correction | 13:59 |
| Radtoo | tigsworth: configures grub, in other words. you can configure that to specify to load what os and how. | 13:59 |
| jigs | can somebody where I can find the IPs of MSN of my contacts? | 13:59 |
| jigs | is there any plug-in or something for emesene or pidgin? | 13:59 |
| tigsworth | i was told to add acpi=force irqpoll to that file to help with mouse problems, does that sound about right? | 13:59 |
| Dr_Willis | tigsworth: grub is VERy well documented :) you need to change one line in that file then rerun 'sudo update-grub' if you want that option for all your kernels. | 14:00 |
| Radtoo | tigsworth: Its worth a try but I'd personally reboot and hit "e" to edit it non-persistently | 14:00 |
| Dr_Willis | tigsworth: what Radtoo suggests is good for a 'test' befor you edit the file to make it permenet. | 14:00 |
| tigsworth | thanks, i'll try it | 14:00 |
| jigs | any help for me please :D | 14:00 |
| Daniel1 | folder was owned by me any other ideas? | 14:01 |
| grawity | jigs: You cannot. | 14:01 |
| jigs | can somebody where I can find the IPs of my contacts on MSN (i.e emesene,pidgin, etc.)? | 14:01 |
| jigs | grawity why? | 14:01 |
| grawity | jigs: Because that's how MSN works. | 14:01 |
| Radtoo | jigs: uh, not all of these protocols provide you with an IP, I think. | 14:01 |
| jigs | grawity on windows I can easily do that using netstat :D | 14:01 |
| jigs | I am newbie for linux, so I do not know how | 14:02 |
| Radtoo | jigs: uh, have you tried like.. netstat on linux? :) | 14:02 |
| tigsworth | netstat works on linux too | 14:02 |
| llutz | jigs: try netstat | 14:02 |
| grawity | jigs: Linux has netstat too. | 14:02 |
| serp | Someone on the internet said netstat on linux | 14:03 |
| grawity | jigs: But MSN doesn't show you the other side's IP anyway, all messages go through a MSN server. | 14:03 |
| Radtoo | jigs: Even so I don't think it will work for all protocols. Of course it should work for the same as it does on windows. But some just go across an intermediate server. You only know the server's ip then. | 14:03 |
| jigs | lol, haha I didn't figured out, thanks guys | 14:03 |
| grawity | jigs: So I doubt it can work even on Windows. | 14:03 |
| tigsworth | i wouldn't trust an ip stack on windows ;) | 14:03 |
| IdleOne | hmmm I wonder does netstat work on linux | 14:03 |
| Radtoo | IdleOne: yes, it does. but its not the "windows" netstat... its just a linux equivalent. | 14:03 |
| Alexia | tigsworth, lol | 14:03 |
| IdleOne | Radtoo: :) I was being sarcastic but thank you for answering | 14:04 |
| tigsworth | what i would do is watch the router traffic | 14:04 |
| Radtoo | IdleOne: ah, sorry :P | 14:04 |
| Hydrid | how to make pidgin to connect to 3 channels simulationaly when i first open it??? | 14:04 |

| eurythmia | I tried using ipblock, and it completely b0rked my iptables ... is there some way I can regenerate iptables to a fresh configuration, say, what it would have looked like on install? | 14:08 |
| Daniel1 | any more ideas on my firefox non downloading issue? | 14:08 |
| Beefcakes | im thinking of installing ubuntu because its preloaded with vista and its so slow | 14:08 |
| tigsworth | so web pages work, but downloading doesn't? | 14:08 |
| Radtoo | Beefcakes: wait, what? preloaded with vista and slow? | 14:08 |
| miTzaH | i managed to get 9.0.4 on a memory stick and make it bootable but it starts in console mode. how do i get the GUI working ? | 14:08 |
| homebrewcider | hey there, I was wondering, if I drop another hdd into my server computer, will it show up as another hdd as it would in windows, or just one massive one. | 14:08 |
| Daniel1 | yes, thats right tigsworth | 14:09 |
| orion | help | 14:09 |
| tigsworth | another icon | 14:09 |
| Radtoo | homebrewcider: you need to partition it first and select a filesystem... | 14:09 |
| BinWasel | hi | 14:09 |
| orion | Wine full screen | 14:09 |
| homebrewcider | it would be fat32 | 14:09 |
| tigsworth | have you tried, downloading in another browser? just as a trial and error? | 14:09 |
| BinWasel | how i can install package rpm on ubuntu | 14:10 |
| IdleOne | orion: that was not a question, you might want to add a little more detail to it and ask in #winehq | 14:10 |
| Radtoo | homebrewcider: ah. well, then you simply decide "where" it shows up unless you let it be auto-detected. In which case I think it ends up in /media after you access it. | 14:10 |
| eurythmia | BinWasel, alien | 14:10 |
| homebrewcider | is a sata hdd connected to a pci sata card going to pose a problem? | 14:10 |
| BinWasel | ho | 14:10 |
| llutz | BinWasel: you shouldn't do it at all. if you really need: use alien | 14:10 |
| BinWasel | how | 14:10 |
| miTzaH | i managed to get 9.0.4 on a memory stick and make it bootable but it starts in console mode. how do i get the GUI working ? | 14:10 |
| Radtoo | homebrewcider: as long as the pci sata card is supported, not at all. | 14:10 |
| eurythmia | BinWasel, but it's not nice. That would be your last resort (even further back than building your own deb) | 14:10 |
| tigsworth | rpms are for red hat, look for debs | 14:10 |
| Daniel1 | no, as far as I knew firefox was the only pre-installed one, so how would I get another browser to try it on? Unless there is another one in which case what? | 14:10 |
| Alexia | Beefcakes, i dont have a japanese vaio but i might still be able to help you | 14:10 |
| homebrewcider | aha, cheers | 14:11 |
| Radtoo | homebrewcider: I might be able to tell if it is if you have the model or chipset - of course you could also google or just try it. | 14:11 |
| === aaron11 is now known as __Samo_ | ||
| Beefcakes | Alexia: thank you, it's very much appreciated as im new to linux itself | 14:11 |
| Paulo39 | does anyone can tell me which command gives me the environment that i'm in? like if i am in gnome or in kde | 14:12 |
| jigs | seems like I can not determine the IPs | 14:12 |
| Alexia | Beefcakes, what would you like help with? | 14:12 |
| eurythmia | Paulo39, you should be able to tell by looking. | 14:12 |
| Beefcakes | does anyone know of any software that can do an inventory in windows so i know what my hardware is? | 14:12 |
| Beefcakes | it's running japanese vista so i dont really know my way around | 14:13 |
| homebrewcider | Sil3114 chip | 14:13 |
| grawity | Beefcakes: PC Info, Everest, ... | 14:13 |
| tigsworth | grab epiphany from add/remove programs | 14:13 |
| nightrid3r | Beefcakes: aida32 | 14:13 |
| Beefcakes | what's the best option? | 14:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Beefcakes: this is ubuntu support, not windows. go to ##windows for windows support | 14:13 |
| Paulo39 | eurythmia: i know, but i want to make a script, which makes actions depending on which environment i am in | 14:13 |
| Beefcakes | i've downloaded and burnt ubuntu to a cd | 14:13 |
| Radtoo | Beefcakes: hwinfo32 - pendant to hwinfo on linux is my fav. | 14:13 |
| Radtoo | Beefcakes: in fact using lshw or hwinfo on ubuntu should also work tho? | 14:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Beefcakes: then you can run the hardware manager. this has nothing to do with windows if you are booted to ubuntu live cd | 14:14 |
| Beefcakes | ActionParsnip: sorry:) was just getting ready to get rid of windows so i know what hardware im dealing with before i install ubuntu | 14:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Beefcakes: you can also run: lspci | 14:14 |
| eurythmia | Paulo39, to a script, it doesn't matter. It's being run from a console session, which has no idea about X. | 14:14 |
| Beefcakes | is this 700mb iso ive downloaded from the ubuntu website (ubuntu desktop) a live cd? | 14:14 |
| eurythmia | ... for the most part. | 14:14 |
| dare | Beefcakes: yes | 14:15 |
| Beefcakes | i'd like to know if it'll support my system before i install it | 14:15 |
| Alexia | Beefcakes, yep | 14:15 |
| grawity | Beefcakes: Yes, the Ubuntu CD is both a LiveCD and installer. | 14:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Beefcakes: if it runs in the livecd it will work out of the box once installed | 14:15 |
| homebrewcider | the sata card has a Sil3114 chip | 14:15 |
| tigsworth | yeah so boot from cd, and try without making any changes | 14:15 |
| Beefcakes | oh, thank you, i'll try that | 14:15 |
| eurythmia | Paulo39, your best bet would be to write different scripts based on the session, but if you *really* want to go through the hassle, read about .XSession | 14:15 |

| natrixnatrix89 | hi. I have a network-related question. If a have a router at home that makes all the pc's at home have the same ip address in the internet, but they all have different ip's at local network.

| natrixnatrix89 | thanks | 14:43 |
| natrixnatrix89 | found it | 14:43 |
| mazda01 | natrixnatrix89, no, you normally use whatever dns server your isp is using but i use opendns servers. | 14:43 |
| fnky | psi-jack: I'd also like it to play sound out to my stereo system since it'll be sitting in the living room. as far as a vm, it's easier for me to config it that way when I have time | 14:43 |
| Radtoo | smn_: ah ha. so its just an x issue. | 14:43 |
| mazda01 | natrixnatrix89, a lot of times, your router is a dns server forwarder but people run into problems because not many consumer routers are proper dns server forwarders. so I just set the opendns ones as mine | 14:44 |
| ActionParsnip | Paulo39: To fix it, go to Control Center => KDE Components => Session Manager and unselect the checkbox "Restore previous session". | 14:44 |
| Psi-Jack_ | eurythmia, Eh? Why would you ever need to reinstall? The answer: Serious and completely unrecoverable errors.. iptables is not ever unrecoverable. | 14:44 |

| smn_ | radntoo seems so | 14:44 |
| EsotericWombat | it'll wink out sometimes the moment I start typing in a chat window or something | 14:44 |
| Radtoo | smn_: should make us both happy since that at least means that hardware wise nothing is wired up in an odd way in your keyboard. some ppl aren't so lucky. :P | 14:44 |
| smn_ | radtoo seems so | 14:44 |
| smn_ | im felling rewaly lucky >P | 14:44 |
| rakesh | actually i m filling online form | 14:44 |
| fnky | psi-jack: regardless...the vm part shouldn't even be part of the equation, since there are so many abstraction layers (pulseaudio, alsa, jack...etc) between the os and the hardware | 14:44 |
| Halitech | fnky, are you planning on running everything in a vm on the new hardware as well? | 14:44 |
| Psi-Jack_ | fnky, Oi.. Well, is it a file server, or is it a stereo box? It shouldn't be both. | 14:45 |
| Radtoo | smn_: so... next. how have you actually tried to manipulate the keyboard layout so far? kde's selection dialog? xorg's config? a hal fdi file? | 14:45 |
| fnky | halitech: nope | 14:45 |
| xikteny | rakesh: there is a firefox extension to fake your user-agent string | 14:45 |
| ActionParsnip | rakesh: install the user agent switcher | 14:45 |
| Psi-Jack_ | fnky, No, Ubuntu Server doesn't even dare install that pulseaudio crap. And alsa isn't a later, it's THE linux sound system. | 14:45 |
| Halitech | fnky, then transferring from a vm to an actual install is not going to be easy and you'll end up probably reinstalling everything anyway | 14:45 |
| fnky | psi-jack: why not? people run mythbuntu boxes with samba on them all the time, for instance | 14:45 |
| grawity | rakesh: or just change general.useragent.override in about:config, if you don't want to restart Firefox | 14:45 |
| mazda01 | Psi-Jack, a box could be a file server and output to a stereo. that's what my mythtv does. | 14:45 |

| miTzaH | I installed ubuntu 9.0.4 ona memory stick using unnetbootin and when i boot from it it brings me to a console. What am i supposed to do next ? it's my first experience with ubuntu/linux. | 14:46 |

| smn_ | radtoo, no i havent | 14:46 |
| fnky | I can do apt-get install ubuntu-desktop and install everything | 14:46 |
| Halitech | fnky, no, ubuntu server is just that, server | 14:46 |
| Psi-Jack_ | mazda01, Oy. That's not a file server. That's a Myth box. :p | 14:46 |
| mazda01 | Psi-Jack, i mean my box has tv capture cards and is also a file server. | 14:46 |
| smn_ | and im a ubuntu n00b so be carefull on what you make me do :) | 14:46 |

| smn_ | i havent modified any config file | 14:47 |

| smn_ | aye | 14:47 |
| Psi-Jack_ | mazda01, Well, that's somewhat different. ;) | 14:47 |
| miTzaH | ActionParsnip I downloaded the iso from the .com website so it should be genuine. Right after i boot from the stick theres a menu with 3 options , default , oem install and a third option. I go with default and then it shows an ubuntu picture and loading it but then a console comes up | 14:47 |
| fnky | I'll figure out any config problems myself as long as I know the package names :P | 14:48 |
| Halitech | fnky, server has a different kernel designed for servers, there is a minimal install you can do that ends in a command line and then add what you want | 14:48 |
| smn_ | quick question. how can i set the xirc to no show me all the people leaving or joining channel? makes me crazy | 14:48 |
| Psi-Jack_ | mazda01, That's a Mythbox. I'll bet all the files provided from it are dedicated video, and music, for use with myth, yes? | 14:48 |
| Paulo39 | ActionParsnip: i think i solved the problem doing on gnome: System > Admini > Start Window Session and unselect the checkbox to disable multiple sessions | 14:48 |
| Paulo39 | ActionParsnip: is that dangerous ? | 14:48 |
| Psi-Jack_ | fnky, #ubuntu-server is the place for Ubuntu Server help. And they'll tell it to you just like me. | 14:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Paulo39: not at all | 14:49 |
| smn_ | ah found it :) | 14:49 |
| Radtoo | smn_: okay. just to make absolutely sure, open a console. type "xev". hit the > key as it would be printed on your keyboard. tell me the "keysym" number it outputs when you do press it. | 14:49 |
| ActionParsnip | fnky: if you do install the server release then install the desktop ontop you have gained nothing at all | 14:49 |
| smn_ | working on it | 14:49 |
| mazda01 | Psi-Jack, i don't know what you mean different. it doesn't serve out files that are from mythtv. it also has all my music, movies, and pictures. no, i use rhythembox for my music and the file server serves out files to my xbox xbmc and other computers. why is it so hard for you accept the fact that 1 computer can be a file server, web server, ftp server, ssh server, mythtv box and anything else I want? | 14:49 |
| Radtoo | smn_: I'd expect it to be 0x3c - that's 3c. :) | 14:50 |
| mazda01 | Psi-Jack, i mean it does server out files for mythtv but that's not all. | 14:50 |
| Paulo39 | ActionParsnip: nice, so i'll maintain this like that | 14:50 |
| fnky | psi-jack: thanks, I'll try there. | 14:50 |
| Psi-Jack_ | fnky, I'll be waiting for ya there too. :p | 14:50 |
| ActionParsnip | mazda01: you can have it doing all that and more | 14:50 |
| mazda01 | ActionParsnip, exactly my point. | 14:51 |
| dayanandasaraswa | Hello all, I want to about ext2 file system..Can you tell me the IRC channel of file system developers? | 14:51 |
| smn_ | keysym 0x27 | 14:51 |
| ActionParsnip | mazda01: its gona work the pc lots but it can | 14:51 |
| grawity | dayanandasaraswa: I doubt there's a channel just for that. | 14:51 |
| Psi-Jack_ | mazda01, Because when you bog down a "server" too much, it becomes more just a mainframe in a small box, doing more the load than it's actually truely capable of in full. | 14:51 |
| ActionParsnip | dayanandasaraswa: #ubuntu-devel may help | 14:51 |
| smn_ | hmmm does it matter what layout i got atm? | 14:51 |
| fnky | psi-jack: well then, aside from the 'should' or 'shouldn't' part..are you telling me it's impossible to get sound working using standard ubuntu packages under server? | 14:51 |
| grawity | dayanandasaraswa: ext2 is quite an old one, too. | 14:51 |
| smn_ | im back on the most accurate 102 generic model norwegian layout..... | 14:52 |
| miTzaH | ActionParsnip can i query you ? | 14:52 |
| DEBUNTU73 | HOW TO prevent fsck on JUST the next reboot (even if ext2/ext3 parameters would say so) WITHOUT using tune2fs?? (So NO change been done to the ext2/ext3 partition parameters) | 14:52 |
| dayanandasaraswa | grawity: hmmm..Can you get me the closest possible channel.. | 14:52 |
| ActionParsnip | miTzaH: if its a support question, as in the channel | 14:52 |
| Psi-Jack_ | DEBUNTU73, Again, WHY would you want to do that? Answer this time and stop repeating. | 14:52 |
| dayanandasaraswa | ActionParsnip: Thanks..I'll check that out.. | 14:52 |
| miTzaH | ActionParsnip I downloaded the iso from the .com website so it should be genuine. Right after i boot from the stick theres a menu with 3 options , default , oem install and a third option. I go with default and then it shows an ubuntu picture and loading it but then a console comes up | 14:52 |
| Radtoo | smn_: wait, silly me is looking at the wrong number in xev. gimme a sec. | 14:52 |
| ActionParsnip | miTzaH: otherwise, sure | 14:52 |
| ActionParsnip | miTzaH: did you MD5 check the ISO file? | 14:52 |
| Radtoo | smn_: what's the keycode? | 14:52 |
| ikt | having a problem with wireless on my netbook, says wlan0: link is not ready | 14:52 |

| Psi-Jack_ | DEBUNTU73, Well? Are you going to actually respond when you're question's addressed? | 14:53 |
| FedEx | Hello. | 14:53 |
| mazda01 | hello FedEx | 14:54 |
| Psi-Jack_ | FedEx, Hey! You're supposed to be at my house, delivering my stuff! | 14:54 |
| Psi-Jack_ | Get back to work! | 14:54 |
| FedEx | It's just a nickname and I just think about Roger Federer. | 14:54 |
| IdleOne | yeah and Neo's real name was Mr. Anderson | 14:55 |
| smn_ | i actually lol'd | 14:55 |
| IdleOne | heh | 14:55 |
| Pici | !ot | 14:55 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 14:55 |
| mistrynitesh | hello all, how do I make my 8.04 installation see an ext4 partition? | 14:55 |
| mazda01 | 32bit with PAE is the best way to go if you have more than 4 gb of ram | 14:55 |
| ActionParsnip | mistrynitesh: you need to install the ext4 modules | 14:55 |
| mistrynitesh | available in repos? | 14:56 |
| sipior | DEBUNTU73: you can always set the last (sixth) field to zero in the appropriate line in /etc/fstab | 14:56 |
| mazda01 | because 64bit Linux applications will use about 160% of RAM (compared to 32bit). This is because of the different memory addressing. | 14:56 |
| Halitech | mazda01, why not go 64bit if you have more then 4gig of ram? | 14:56 |
| Radtoo | smn_: and that's really the key with a "<" printed on it? :/ | 14:56 |
| mazda01 | Halitech, see previous post | 14:56 |
| ActionParsnip | mazda01: if you need the advantages of 64bit then 64bit will run better | 14:56 |
| smn_ | radtoo thats the key i hit, yes | 14:56 |
| Halitech | mazda01, that makes no sense to me at all | 14:56 |
| mazda01 | If you do not use special 64bit optimized programs (e.g. some sql apps etc.) then thers no point | 14:57 |
| ActionParsnip | mazda01: audio and video encoding goes hugely faster with 64bit | 14:57 |
| DEBUNTU73 | sipior: it should not be a permanent change, im looking for something that works just like that /forcefsck file, but the oposit way.. to PREVENT such a fscheck on just the next reboot. nothing like that available ? | 14:57 |
| sincere360 | Anyone here tethered there bb | 14:57 |
| mazda01 | Halitech, that's just my opinion | 14:57 |
| ivan-linux | hy | 14:57 |
| sipior | DEBUNTU73: it's not permanent. you just need to change the file back after the next boot. | 14:57 |
| smn_ | but it makes a ' symbol...... | 14:58 |
| Halitech | mazda01, I have 64 bit with 3gig of ram and I find I'm using less ram then I did with 32bit, also most apps are going to be 64bit if you have 64bit version installed | 14:58 |
| DEBUNTU73 | sipior: if i have to change it back its permanent. im looking for something that is a ONE TIME SHOT like that flag file i mentioned. | 14:58 |
| ivan-linux | i need help, can anyone tell me if i can activate Compiz effects on Via s3g unichrome proIGP?? | 14:58 |
| Psi-Jack_ | DEBUNTU73, Oh, so NOW you respond. Lovely. | 14:58 |
| Sam-I-Am | howdy | 14:58 |
| ActionParsnip | ivan-linux: if you have full 3d accelleration then yes | 14:59 |
| EsotericWombat | ugh. I was just dropped again. Does anyone know what to do when Ubuntu randomly stops managing a wireless device? | 14:59 |
| Psi-Jack_ | DEBUNTU73, Well, I could've helped you, has you responded. But as of now, I'm ignoring you. | 14:59 |
| ivan-linux | yes, i have, but when i click to activate, it tells me thats impossible | 14:59 |
| sipior | DEBUNTU73: well, you can spend even more time looking for the perfect solution. or you can take 30 seconds and attempt the solution i illustrated. do as you like. | 14:59 |
| mazda01 | ActionParsnip, you're correct. here's a good benchmark to show that. http://www.tuxradar.com/content/ubuntu-904-32-bit-vs-64-bit-benchmarks | 14:59 |
| ivan-linux | i have ubuntu 9.04 | 14:59 |
| sipior | Psi-Jack: ease up on the passive aggression, tiger :-) | 14:59 |
| Psi-Jack_ | DEBUNTU73, But above all, stop repeating. Period. | 14:59 |
| Sam-I-Am | i'm configuring a karmic box to use ldap for auth... noticed that both su and sudo return errors as if something is blocking them from certain system calls... havent seen this before. | 15:00 |
| ActionParsnip | mazda01: i can useeither with equal performance as I chat and web broswe so either will do | 15:00 |
| IdleOne | #ubuntu+1 Sam-I-Am | 15:00 |
| miTzaH | ActionParsnip i got the md5 using nero's md5 checksum and it says 66fa77789c7b8ff63130e5d5a272d67b | 15:01 |
| ivan-linux | actionParsnip: when i try to activate compiz it say: impossible to activate visual effects | 15:01 |
| ActionParsnip | miTzaH: does that match the md5 checksum it is supposed to have? | 15:01 |
| sincere360 | Has anyone here use bbtether or barry? Which one does anyone recommend | 15:01 |
| ActionParsnip | ivan-linux: have you installed drivers for your video card? | 15:01 |
| ivan-linux | i think. | 15:01 |
| Radtoo | smn_: ...its not what I expected. I wonder if the keyboard model affects the key code. Otherwise I'm at a loss for an explanation why it works in the console. | 15:02 |
| ActionParsnip | ivan-linux: i'd check | 15:02 |
| sipior | DEBUNTU73: you might also try the -f flag for shutdown, but the man page no longer lists it, and it may no longer function | 15:02 |
| miTzaH | ActionParsnip Yes it does match | 15:02 |
| DEBUNTU73 | sipior: that sounds like a hot trace.. thanks ill hunt for that. | 15:03 |
| ActionParsnip | miTzaH: ok thats cool, boot to the usb device and run the verifier | 15:03 |
| savid | Hey all, I have an internal bluetooth chipset on my dell laptop, and my bluetooth mouse is _really_ laggy. Does anyone know what might be the cause of this? | 15:03 |
| ivan-linux | ActionParsnip, how to check if i have the correct drivers? | 15:03 |
| savid | using ubuntu jaunty | 15:03 |
| smn_ | radtoo why you say it work in console? if i hit the less thean key with active console it makes a ' symbol there to | 15:03 |
| phoe7 | mutt does not go well with ssh tunnel | 15:03 |
| ActionParsnip | ivan-linux: read: less /var/log/Xorg.log.0 | 15:03 |
| Radtoo | smn_: i mean in ctrl-alt-f1's console... | 15:03 |
| Radtoo | smn_: you said it worked there, earlier? | 15:03 |
| smn_ | it gives a press ealse info i cant remember, not the acctually symbol i think... let me try again | 15:04 |
| miTzaH | ActionParsnip how do i run it ? | 15:04 |
| ActionParsnip | ivan-linux: if it loads the s3 driver you are ok, you may also want to check some websites to see how its setup correctly | 15:04 |
| smn_ | it makes a ' symbol when ctrl-alt F1 | 15:05 |
| grawity | smn_: In showkey? | 15:05 |
| Radtoo | smn_: ah, then I must have misunderstood you before. | 15:05 |
| smn_ | oh no wait i did not do showkey.... trying again | 15:06 |
| brassmaster | savid: do you have a lot of wifi traffic in your area? | 15:06 |
| ivan-linux | i checked xorg, it loads the correct drivers | 15:06 |
| savid | brassmaster, yes... | 15:07 |
| ActionParsnip | ivan-linux: then read online how to set it up, make sure all is well | 15:07 |
| smn_ | keycode 43 press and keycode 43 release | 15:07 |
| savid | brassmaster, does wifi interfere with bluetooth?? | 15:07 |
| ivan-linux | ok | 15:07 |
| ivan-linux | thank u | 15:07 |
| ivan-linux | :) | 15:07 |
| smn_ | sorry if i fuc.kt up not intentional :( | 15:07 |
| brassmaster | savid: yes. if there is enough wifi traffic, it can be crippling for bluetooth devices. wifi is a direct spread spectrum technology and bluetooth uses frequency hopping in the same frequency range | 15:08 |

| yacc | Is there an easy way to figure out if a given update is a security related update? | 15:09 |
| mistrynitesh | i am unable to locate a proper package to install ext4 modules for 8.04 installation, can someone guide? | 15:09 |
| brassmaster | savid: if the different wifi networks are spread out enough over the different channels, bluetooth's hopping scheme is usually good enough to avoid service interruptions, but if there's lots of wifi networks positioned closely together over the whole spectrum, that causes a problem. | 15:09 |
| chmac | After I hibernate (suspend to disk) and resume, /dev/video has disappeared. Any idea how to restore it? | 15:10 |
| brassmaster | savid: also, there seems to be a bug filed in launchpad about this problem | 15:10 |
| Pici | mistrynitesh: There is none, as ext4 is part of the kernel. You should be able to mount the partition as ext3 | 15:10 |
| savid | brassmaster, well, the odd thing is that it seemed to work better when I was using a usb bluetooth dongle (never experienced lag), but I bought an internal module for my laptop recently, and that's when I noticed it.. | 15:10 |
| brassmaster | so it may be something that is specific to the bluez stack or your driver | 15:10 |
| savid | brassmaster, so is it something that software can fix? or is it a hard limitation? | 15:10 |
| coolguy4 | anyone here understand how /usr/lib32 works? I have downloaded a 32bit package (a deb file), how do I get it to install to /usr/lib32 ? | 15:11 |
| savid | hmm, ok. | 15:11 |
| grawity | coolguy4: I think you should just let dpkg handle the package. | 15:11 |
| Travis-42 | is there a focus follows mouse feature in ubuntu? | 15:11 |
| mistrynitesh | pici: my 8.04 installation gives this message: "The volume uses the ext4 file system which is not supported by your system." | 15:11 |
| coolguy4 | grawity: I'm running 64bit ubuntu. If I let dpkg handle it then it complains that the package is for the wrong architecture. I want to install the 32bit libraries for the purpose of running 32 firefox with 32 plugins | 15:12 |
| thiebaude | !ext4 | 15:12 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ext4 | 15:12 |
| Pici | mistrynitesh: How are you trying to mount it? | 15:12 |
| DRUID | y | 15:12 |
| brassmaster | savid: can you send me the output of 'iwlist scanning'? | 15:13 |
| Royall | My wireless internet connection keeps dropping (9.04, Dell Inspiron 1525 w/ Broadcom Corp BCM4312 802.11b/g (rev 01)). I was just at another house where it worked fine all the time with the router. I think it's the router here. | 15:13 |
| mistrynitesh | Pici: from "Places" on the top panel | 15:13 |
| Royall | Like, I can't load pages on firefox often | 15:14 |
| Royall | But IRC works fine | 15:14 |
| Pici | mistrynitesh: Are you familiar with the terminal commands to mount a filesystem? | 15:14 |
| mistrynitesh | yes | 15:14 |
| savid | brassmaster, http://dpaste.com/88192/ | 15:14 |
| sipior | Travis-42: unfortunately, i think we're stuck with sloppy focus from here on out. you can play around with the configuration resource editor, and set the mouse focus setting there, but i believe strict follow is no longer an option. | 15:14 |
| Pici | mistrynitesh: I'd try to do that but force the type to ext3, as the places menu may not be doing that when it mounts the filesystem. | 15:14 |
| sipior | Travis-42: (I miss it, too :-) | 15:14 |
| zebaztian | how do i get to pick which desktop effects are enabled on gnome? i enabled the special effects on the desktop config dialogue but i dont see a list of the effects | 15:15 |
| brassmaster | savid: yeah, it doesn't seem like wifi interference should be bad enough to cause that much of an impact on your mouse. | 15:15 |

| freeksh0w86 | How does one install the proprietary nvidia driver on Ubuntu 9.04 (amd64)? I don't see it under Hardware Drivers. | 15:15 |
| brassmaster | what version of ubuntu are you using? | 15:15 |
| eFfeM | how come/what should i do to fix that | 15:15 |
| Royall | zebaztian: try Simple compizconfig | 15:15 |
| Travis-42 | sipior: thank you :-) | 15:15 |
| brassmaster | savid: what version of ubuntu are you using? | 15:15 |
| savid | brassmaster, jaunty | 15:16 |
| smn_ | radtoo you still with me? | 15:16 |
| mistrynitesh | Pici: so do I need to change the "fstab"?... add an entry for the partition and specify ext3 there? | 15:16 |
| zebaztian | Royall: come again? | 15:16 |
| Halitech | freeksh0w86, what driver are you trying to install? | 15:16 |
| Pici | mistrynitesh: Only if you have it setup to mount at boot, otherwise just use; mount -t ext3 /device/path /mountpoint/path | 15:17 |
| sipior | Travis-42: of course, you can always try another window manager. i just kind of dealt with it on gnome/compiz | 15:17 |
| freeksh0w86 | I need the latest binary driver for nvidia 9600 GS like I always do each time I install Ubuntu... | 15:17 |
| Radtoo | smn_: yep... you know, this ain't easy, but lets try this: xmodmap -e 'keycode 51 = 0x3c' | 15:17 |
| Royall | zebaztian: tehre's a program called Simple CompizConfig in which you can change desktop effects | 15:17 |
| zebaztian | Royall, where is it located? | 15:17 |
| zebaztian | how do i open it? | 15:17 |
| smn_ | want me to write that command in a terminal? | 15:17 |
| Royall | zebaztian: you need to install it | 15:17 |
| mistrynitesh | pici: will try in a minute | 15:17 |
| zebaztian | oh | 15:17 |
| brassmaster | savid: in the launchpad ticket filed on this, the person filing the bug found that his problem was solved by upgrading to 9.10. I'm cautious to suggest that since it gave my roommate some problems, but if you really must use the wireless mouse, that's one option. Otherwise, if the bluetooth dongle worked better, maybe it's best to go back to that. | 15:17 |
| Halitech | freeksh0w86, if its not under hardware drivers you will need to install it manually | 15:17 |
| xikteny | zebaztian: install package 'simple-ccsm' | 15:17 |
| Radtoo | smn_: yep. if that doesn't work, perhaps 43 instead of 51 works | 15:17 |
| freeksh0w86 | But in 9.04 (amd64) it doesn't appear to be under the Hardware Driver list. I tried adding it from Add/Remove menu but it said "not supported" or something. | 15:18 |

| smn_ | radtoo its working | 15:19 |
| savid | brassmaster, yeah saw that. The only thing about the dongle is that it didn't re-connect my mouse after going to sleep :-P oh well, I guess it's promising to hear its (possibly) fixed in 9.10 | 15:19 |
| brassmaster | savid: yeah. sorry i couldn't be of more assistance. | 15:20 |
| mistrynitesh | pici: i get this message from the terminal: "nitesh@mistrys:~$ sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb4 /media/kubuntu/" "mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb4, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so" | 15:20 |
| smn_ | interesting i i got the key with more/less symbol and another with ' and star symbol. that last thing changed both keys to make only the < symbol. I have more use of the < symbol then the star symbol so its ok. :) | 15:21 |
| Radtoo | smn_: yes... we need to add another number for greater than and the last symbol | 15:22 |
| savid | brassmaster, hey no problem -- if anything you kept me from throwing my mouse across the room in frustration. | 15:22 |
| brassmaster | savid: lol. good to hear. | 15:22 |
| Radtoo | smn_: They'll come after 0x3c, space delimited. now, I, being ingeniously silly again, have done this here myself and lost the number so I'll have to google 'em or reboot :P | 15:23 |
| savid | brassmaster, I usually find it's more comforting when I can at least understand _why_ something's not working :-) | 15:23 |
| abhifx | hi there. i m apdating my kde to kde 4.3. but now the menu and desktop are missing. can someone tell me what package is missing? | 15:24 |

| smn_ | im gonna sit tight | 15:24 |

| mistrynitesh | pici: "dmesg | tail" gives me this : "[ 1043.098727] EXT3-fs: sdb4: couldn't mount because of unsupported optional features (240)." | 15:25 |
| abhifx | hi there. i m apdating my kde to kde 4.3. but now the menu and desktop are missing. can someone tell me what package is missing? | 15:25 |
| brassmaster | abhifx: sounds like you might be missing plasma. | 15:26 |
| panfist | could anyone recommend a program to create some simple flowcharts? | 15:26 |
| brassmaster | panfist: dia | 15:26 |
| brassmaster | !dia | 15:26 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about dia | 15:26 |
| zebaztian | how do you do the cube on gnome? | 15:26 |
| abhifx | <brassmaster> hmm... i think i have that installed. can there be anything else? | 15:27 |
| Kingsy101 | can someone tell me if there is a equivilent program to DU meter on ubuntu ? | 15:27 |
| zebaztian | Royall, thanks it worked, but how do you do the cube in gnome? | 15:27 |
| Royall | !ccsm | 15:27 |
| ubottu | To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz | 15:27 |
| brassmaster | zebaztian: if you're running a recent version of ubuntu, use CompizConfigSettingsManager to enable the desktop cube. | 15:27 |
| abhifx | <zebaztian> cube? | 15:27 |
| Royall | zebaztian: install the former | 15:27 |
| Royall | unless you have it | 15:28 |
| Kingsy101 | i.e a program that monitors and records the amount of bandwidth being used | 15:28 |
| Pici | mistrynitesh: Sorry, was on a call. Sounds like your ext4 filesystem are running with extents which aren't supported under ext3. http://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Ext4_Howto#For_people_who_are_running_Ubuntu Might be helpful for getting ext4 to work on 8.04 | 15:28 |
| abhifx | <Kingsy101> just install netmonitor via wine. | 15:28 |
| zebaztian | brassmaster, how do i install the compizconfigsettingsmanager? | 15:28 |
| mistrynitesh | pici: thanks... I will check it out | 15:28 |
| Psi-Jack_ | abhifx, You're CRAZY! Stop recommendinh stupid stuff,. | 15:28 |
| zebaztian | brassmaster, what's the sudo aptitude install | 15:29 |
| brassmaster | !ccsm | zebaztian | 15:29 |

| Psi-Jack_ | Kingsy101, iptraf | 15:29 |
| abhifx | <Psi-Jack_> why is that? | 15:29 |
| brassmaster | zebaztian: if it's easier for you, use synaptic and search for ccsm. | 15:29 |
| Psi-Jack_ | abhifx, wine, just to do what Linux tools can do natively? You're NUTS | 15:29 |
| zebaztian | brassmaster, i already installed that | 15:29 |
| zebaztian | i am already fiddlign with it | 15:29 |
| zebaztian | but how do actually do the cube | 15:29 |
| Psi-Jack_ | abhifx, Like I said, stop recommending obsurdities like that. | 15:29 |
| Kingsy101 | abhifx - isnt there something that linux has tho? without having to run stuff through wine? | 15:30 |
| zebaztian | on kde you go to one of the edges and sort of push with mousepoint | 15:30 |
| Psi-Jack_ | Kingsy101, Yes, iptraf! | 15:30 |
| IdleOne | Psi-Jack: can you please refrain from calling people names like NUTS. there is no reason for it. thank you | 15:30 |
| Radtoo | smn_: xmodmap -e 'keycode 94 = 0x3c 0x3e 0x7c' this looks like its like your keyboard | 15:30 |
| abhifx | <Psi-Jack_> hey if its working all fine than whts the problem? | 15:30 |
| dagb | My 8.04 LTS install is missing the 'Software sources' menuitem in the Administration submenu. Can someone suggest a fix for that? | 15:30 |
| smn_ | im gonna do that in terminal | 15:30 |
| Psi-Jack_ | IdleOne, Recommding WINE to use network monitoring stuff, is nuts. | 15:30 |
| abhifx | <Psi-Jack_> netmeter is fine. and its open source. | 15:30 |
| brassmaster | zebaztian: click desktop on the left sidebar, then check the box next to desktop cube. once you have done that, the default keymap for that plugin has ctrl+alt+left/right set up to rotate the cube. | 15:30 |
| Psi-Jack_ | abhifx, It's overkill, and it's not even linux native! | 15:31 |
| Radtoo | smn_: tell me if I got the right alt modifier wrong... | 15:31 |
| brassmaster | zebaztian: and ctrl+alt+click to manually rotate it. | 15:31 |
| sin360 | has anyone here used bbtether | 15:31 |
| IdleOne | Psi-Jack: that may be but it doesn't justify you calling people that. so please stop. | 15:31 |
| zebaztian | brassmaster, that's a very flat bidimensional wall | 15:32 |
| phyrrus | how do I uninstall gnome? | 15:32 |
| smn_ | right altgr key works | 15:32 |
| brassmaster | zebaztian: you need to increase the number of virtual desktops used by compiz | 15:32 |
| Psi-Jack_ | IdleOne, No, It's justified. It's not name-calling, it's saying what they're presribing is not sane. Which is true. | 15:33 |
| Radtoo | smn_: now ... fn, I can't test. but normal and shift should work 'swell | 15:33 |
| phyrrus | hello | 15:33 |
| phyrrus | how do I uninstall gnome? | 15:33 |
| smn_ | the more less key gives < an nothing on shift.... and the '/star key gives < | 15:33 |
| Wanderer | ugh... karmic broke kde this morning? | 15:33 |
| IdleOne | Psi-Jack: stop being a jack ass. how is that? | 15:33 |
| smn_ | dont worry about fn, i never use it. | 15:33 |
| phyrrus | Karmic breaks all. I am still running 8.10 | 15:33 |
| brassmaster | zebaztian: click general in the sidebar, then click general options. go to the desktop size tab and increase the horizontal virtual size to 4. | 15:34 |
| sipior | Wanderer: karmic is alpha. don't use it if you don't want to file bug reports :-) | 15:34 |
| Wanderer | Karmic has been great until this morning, kde won't start | 15:34 |
| Psi-Jack_ | IdleOne, Is it more a jack ass to say use wine for very basic network monitoring, or is it jack ass to tell someone to stop suggesting such obsurdities? I think the first one. We can disagree all we want, but that's how it is. | 15:34 |
| phyrrus | lol yup. | 15:34 |
| Kingsy101 | Psi-Jack_ - that is console based.. is there anything a little nicer? i.e a program that sits in the tray and has a nice GUI to it ? | 15:34 |
| phyrrus | then use fluxbox! | 15:34 |
| Radtoo | smn_: ... I don't see the star key on your photograph? | 15:34 |
| phyrrus | type startx | 15:34 |
| Wanderer | sipior: I know, just not a great way to start the day :> | 15:34 |
| phyrrus | or rm /tmp/X0-lock | 15:34 |
| phyrrus | then startx | 15:34 |
| zebaztian | brassmaster, the ball is too big and i only see the down part of it | 15:34 |
| smn_ | taking a new photo | 15:34 |
| phyrrus | while booting press F | 15:34 |
| Psi-Jack_ | Kingsy101, You want GUI too? Well, there's .... Some things.. Yeah. What desktop environment would you prefer it for? | 15:34 |
| phyrrus | woops | 15:34 |
| phyrrus | F2 | 15:34 |
| Wanderer | no, kdebase is missing, gotta find out what else | 15:34 |
| FloodBot2 | phyrrus: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 15:34 |
| Radtoo | smn_: Is that also a modifier key in norwegian layouts, like shift? | 15:35 |
| phyrrus | then just try startx | 15:35 |
| phyrrus | make me1 | 15:35 |
| smn_ | no its not | 15:35 |
| |kardan| | can sb please look over my kernel messages above | 15:35 |
| IdleOne | my grand father was right you can reason with a crook but not with an idiot | 15:35 |
| Kingsy101 | Psi-Jack_ - gnome if possible.. it would be nice if it looked something like http://www.dumeter.com/ | 15:35 |
| Psi-Jack_ | Kingsy101, There's gdesklets for that for Gnome, I'm sure. Check out gdesklet, I believe it's called. | 15:36 |
| piff_ | Hi there. I was wondering if there were any plans to support the Via Chrome9 chipset out of the box with the next Ubuntu release. | 15:36 |

| zebaztian | brassmaster, how do i make it into a small sphere in the middle of hte screen? | 15:36 |
| Psi-Jack_ | IdleOne, I'm neither a criminal, nor an idiot, thank you. I've been using Linux for a VERY long time, and I hate when people even dare recommend totally obsurd things, especially for such simple things to do. | 15:36 |
| Radtoo | smn_: ah, duh, I gave you a command with MY key :P | 15:36 |
| RLGyde | Hey, I am trying to get apache2 on ubuntu to run with two difrent ssl certificats, but I can't figure out how to configure the relation betwen IP and certificat file. How do I do that? | 15:36 |
| Radtoo | smn_: xmodmap -e 'keycode 94 = 0x3c 0x3e 0x7c' <- this should have had 51 instead of 94... but you copy and pasted it right? | 15:37 |
| Psi-Jack_ | Kingsy101, There's also another tool, one sec. Trying to remember what it's called, but it's got a server-client feature to it, and works on any desktop environment well. | 15:37 |

| Radtoo | smn_: duh. I thought that was printed on that key from the screenshot. ahwell. its the third 0x7c number, you can probably omit it then | 15:39 |
| brassmaster | zebaztian: you need to be in ccsm, not simple-ccsm. | 15:39 |

| vasser | (as root, it works) | 15:56 |
| __theIdiotBox | vasser, is should get mounted during bootup, right? | 15:56 |
| Chousuke | vasser: isn't the option "user", not "users"? | 15:56 |
| junior1 | brassmaster: not intentionally, This problem has been going on since I switch from windows XP to ubuntu | 15:56 |

| grawity | smn_: You should instead put them to your startup script... maybe ~/.profile will work. | 15:59 |
| __theIdiotBox | vasser, replace the patition and mount point to suit your case, thats it! | 15:59 |
| llutz | !ntfs-3g | vasser | 15:59 |
| ubottu | vasser: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions | 15:59 |
| Radtoo | smn_: add it to the wm / de specific startup script, or the standard ~/.xmodmap file. xmodmap doesn't take the entire "command", but rather has lines like "keycode 57 = 0x31 0x33" - one line per key code | 16:01 |
| junior1 | Brassmaster: any Ideas???:-[ | 16:01 |
| Radtoo | smn_: the second xmodmap was meant to be ~/.xmodmap btw. A file rather than the command we just used. | 16:01 |
| brassmaster | does anyone have any suggestions for junior1 given http://pastebin.com/f39bb8d84 | 16:01 |

| mbeierl | Is there an easy way to change the compiz window switcher for Alt-Tab from static to ring or shift? I don't want to go in and modify every key combo individually in order to switch the default from static to ring | 16:03 |
| junior1 | brassmaster: what is php??? | 16:03 |

| brassmaster | so if my name were junior1 and i were experiencing kernel panics on boot on a fairly new ubuntu install with a dmesg output that looked like this: http://pastebin.com/f39bb8d84, what would you tell me my problem was? | 16:03 |
| junior1 | Brassmaster: Thank you LOL | 16:04 |
| brassmaster | !php | junior1 | 16:04 |
| ubottu | junior1: PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language. A command-line only version can be installed in Ubuntu with the "php5-cli" package. See also !lamp for integrated server PHP. The Ubuntu server PHP5 guide is found at https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/php5.html | 16:04 |
| Radtoo | smn_: I think you might need to create it with a text editor. | 16:04 |
| smn_ | like a gazilion files with xmodmap.... in name | 16:05 |
| smn_ | oh. | 16:05 |
| smn_ | hmmm now im confused on what im trying to do :) | 16:05 |
| brassmaster | nobody in here wants to troubleshoot a kernel panic? | 16:05 |
| Radtoo | smn_: Or perhaps someone else can help you with adding the full command to your wm's startup files. I'm exhausted tho, this was actually complicated and I'm multitasking too :) | 16:05 |
| junior1 | ubottu: do you have any Ideas???http://pastebin.com/f39bb8d84 | 16:05 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 16:05 |

| Beefcakes | okay silly question, but in the Ubuntu installation when it asks me what my name is, is it more proper to provide my full name or just my first name? i know it matters little but whatever hehe | 16:06 |

| Guest82559 | i have a problem when i try to clic on any of my harddrive a messege says that the volumen couldnt open | 16:24 |
| roy_1 | There is no such option. It says that it is not a rescue cd (ubuntu 9.04). I also installed the Neosmart bootloader. Any way I can redetect the kernel and reinstall just grub to the mbr? | 16:25 |
| tonii | anujpathania: by default pidgin closes to the "taskbar", maybe you changed some settings. | 16:25 |
| roy_1 | Oh sorry... "fixit" after loading the "live" ubuntu? | 16:25 |
| tonii | roy_1: yeah, should be in the boot menu | 16:25 |

| Guest82559 | what about me | 16:26 |
| Einherjer | ok googleearth is installed, but it doesn't appear anywere? | 16:27 |
| Pici | josvuk: It wont be listed there, add/remove does not list all packages. sudo apt-get install manpages-dev will install it | 16:27 |

| Kingsy101 | Michalxo - well I have done sudo apt-get install netspeed.. it seems to have installed but how do you run it ? | 16:28 |

| mbeierl | anyone know why gvfs smb mounts completely squash the real file attributes? every file listed via the gvfs mount shows as the same permissions. and all owned by the current user id, but that is clearly not the case on the file server, and Windows itself shows different acls for the files | 16:54 |

| grkblood2 | llutz: i have no idea what that means alt + something | 17:12 |
| llutz | grkblood2: AltGr + x | 17:12 |
| Beefcakes | Michalxo: because i ran add/remove first then i did 'synaptic' in alt-f2 and synaptic popped up. then i closed it to run 'sudo synaptic' but then you told me to do 'gksudo synaptic' | 17:12 |
| === iAlex is now known as Guest30910 | ||

| xmnt | master_, sudo iptables -F will flush all the rules for iptables | 17:13 |
| Beefcakes | yeah but are they the same thing? synaptic and add/remove? | 17:13 |
| grawity | grkblood2: yeah, AltGr is the _right_ Alt key (not always named AltGr) | 17:13 |
| Michalxo | Beefcakes, ion general yes :) | 17:13 |
| Guest10525 | hay guys'I like to know what do i need to get a iso file onto a cd/dvd | 17:13 |
| grawity | llutz: Besides, AltGr+X only types an 'x' here. | 17:13 |
| Michalxo | Beefcakes, dunno about backend :) | 17:13 |

| master_ | xmnt: I dont get any readings , it goes back master@ etc | 17:15 |
| Michalxo | Beefcakes, it's still locked, cause of updating.. ;) everything you install/update it goes through apt-get application I think.. so it's locked once used..wait until 1st application finishes it's process | 17:15 |

| Beefcakes | x404x: well you see, first i ran 'synaptic' in altf2. then i closed that and did 'sudo synaptic' then nothing popped. they told me to do 'gksudo synaptic' but i cant because its already running and i cant kill it | 17:16 |

Ctrl+c and ctrl+v often doesn't work for texts, while selecting (copy) and middle-clicking (paste) works. This is true for browsers (chrome, firefox), gedit and all the other applications i used.

| ToreadorVampire | Quick question - when's Karmic due? I've lost track of time | 18:44 |
| __theIdiotBox | cacs, okey...how far have you been....okey let me go through that page.... | 18:44 |
| Msku | oh right, i forgot | 18:44 |
| slon2000ru | YeTr2: asus nx1101 | 18:44 |
| slon2000ru | lan | 18:44 |
| ToreadorVampire | Ohwait, nm, found it | 18:44 |
| Halitech | Msku, will synaptic open? maybe you can remove something that you don't need for now | 18:44 |
| slon2000ru | :-( | 18:44 |
| rakesh | hi | 18:44 |
| ToreadorVampire | "The final stable version will be released on October 29th, 2009" « I thought it was "soon" | 18:44 |
| Ben64 | ToreadorVampire: 9.10 = 2009/10 | 18:44 |
| slon2000ru | oh i vant use this device and cant install driver :-( | 18:45 |
| cacs | __theIdiotBox, I followed the steps recommended by hurtstotalktoyou but it didn't work, so now I am following the steps recommended by nemodot | 18:45 |
| rakesh | help me how to use user agent switch to use microsft window explorer in ubuntu | 18:45 |
| Msku | Halitech: Synaptic package manager is the "add/remove programs" tool? | 18:45 |
| panfist | hey...totally unrelated to ubuntu...but maybe someone will know...when drawing a simple flowchart (not UML or something like that) how do you indicate a loop | 18:45 |
| Msku | if you know what I mean :p | 18:46 |
| cacs | __theIdiotBox, I am now following these steps http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=4794097&postcount=13 | 18:46 |
| Halitech | Msku, no but add/remove will work as well | 18:46 |
| ToreadorVampire | Also, I do hate it when people use the version numerics ... if people are going to use them then stop publishing the friendly codenames :( Any time someone mentions a flat version number I always end up having ask them "well, goddamn, which ones is that?" | 18:46 |
| __theIdiotBox | cacs, fine...in the mean time...let me look for some other ways to fix that.... | 18:46 |
| YeTr2 | slon2000ru: you need to make sure that the headers for your kernel are installed on the system. | 18:46 |
| guntbert | Msku: the problem is: your / partition (/dev/sda5 has only 2GB), that *is* too low | 18:46 |
| Ben64 | rakesh: user agent switcher doesn't let you use a microsoft program, only appear like another browser to a server | 18:46 |
| ToreadorVampire | IE: Make one convention or the other universal | 18:46 |
| cacs | __theIdiotBox, thx! | 18:46 |
| Msku | guntbert: I see, any way I can change that without reinstalling? | 18:46 |
| guntbert | Halitech: Msku has only 2GB :-( | 18:46 |
| YeTr2 | slon2000ru: aptitude install linux-headers-`uname -r` | 18:47 |
| slon2000ru | oh but how i can shured? | 18:47 |
| Ben64 | !karmic | ToreadorVampire | 18:47 |
| ubottu | ToreadorVampire: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 29th, 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 | 18:47 |
| rakesh | ben 64..is that i cant use it in linux | 18:47 |
| YeTr2 | slon2000ru: you also need build-essential installed as well. | 18:47 |
| Ben64 | gives you version, release, and codename | 18:47 |
| __theIdiotBox | cacs, you're welcome dude! | 18:47 |
| Ben64 | rakesh: not sure what you're asking...? | 18:47 |
| Halitech | guntbert, ahhh, wubi install that went wrong? | 18:47 |
| slon2000ru | build-essentialn are installed | 18:47 |
| ToreadorVampire | Ben64: oic - handy channelbot, but I am actually referring more to chat outside of this channel (I don't actually come in here that often) | 18:47 |
| guntbert | Msku: lets put it so: are there any important data in your installation? | 18:48 |
| AnNahar | idiotbox, who might i speak to about it? | 18:48 |
| rakesh | ben 64 i want to use window explorer in ubuntu | 18:48 |
| ToreadorVampire | Ben64: tbh I wasn't talking directly at you - just kind of thinking out loud | 18:48 |
| Msku | nope, I just installed it 1 hour ago | 18:48 |
| guntbert | Halitech: I have no experience with wubi, so I cannot possibly know :-) | 18:48 |
| Ben64 | ToreadorVampire: i know, but its really easy to find codename->version and vice versa | 18:48 |
| Msku | but, I wasn't even asked to choose the size of my partition during the installation :S | 18:48 |
| YeTr2 | slon2000ru: are the headers for your kernel installed? | 18:48 |
| Ben64 | rakesh: windows explorer or internet explorer? and why? | 18:48 |
| Halitech | rakesh, Tools - Default User Agent - IE 7 for vista | 18:48 |
| __theIdiotBox | AnNahar, about that webcam issue? or is it something else? | 18:48 |
| ToreadorVampire | Ben64: What I hate is that there is no way to derive the friendly codename from the numeric or vice-versa, the only way to do it is via a table/lookup | 18:48 |
| AnNahar | theidiot, yes | 18:49 |
| AnNahar | webcam issue with that flash program | 18:49 |
| mbeierl | does anyone know how to use libpam_mount? | 18:49 |
| AnNahar | im wondering what forum or list would be relevant | 18:49 |
| ToreadorVampire | Which is annoying because (even offline) someone can say "I'm using 8.10" and my response is always "Erm, which one is that? Is it Hardy?" | 18:49 |
| Halitech | guntbert, I've never used it either (don't even dual boot) but I've seen some posts where people will use it and the size is 2.3gig | 18:49 |
| ToreadorVampire | !hardy | 18:49 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 8.04-LTS (Hardy Heron) was the eighth release of Ubuntu. Downloading: http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04 - See !lts for more details. | 18:49 |
| Ben64 | ToreadorVampire: or just remember :3 2009 = J,K; 2010 = L,M, 2011 = N,O....etc | 18:49 |
| ToreadorVampire | Hmm, in that case I would have been wrong | 18:49 |
| slon2000ru | YeTr2: no | 18:49 |
| rakesh | ben64..i want to fill a form for mnc..but when i m filling it says that u will only able to fill the form by window explorer | 18:49 |
| slon2000ru | i install it now | 18:49 |
| slon2000ru | and what i must do now? | 18:50 |
| __theIdiotBox | AnNahar, may be you can try posting regarding that problem with a detailed information on ubuntuforums.org ... | 18:50 |
| ElDuderino | hey | 18:50 |
| Ben64 | rakesh: you can use user agent switcher on Firefox to tell the website that you are using Internet Explorer, and the site should then work fine. | 18:50 |
| Halitech | rakesh, Tools - Default User Agent - IE 7 for vista | 18:50 |
| Msku | I could reinstall ubuntu, but I don't really know how to change the size of the partition when it's not an option during the installing | 18:50 |
| Msku | installation* | 18:50 |
| slon2000ru | YeTr2: and what now? | 18:50 |
| __theIdiotBox | AnNahar, but i'm sure you can get some definite help out here in this channel....just have some patience.... and hang around... | 18:50 |
| YeTr2 | slon2000ru: try your make command now | 18:50 |
| ToreadorVampire | Anyway, all is well | 18:50 |
| AnNahar | theidiot, i didn't mean to sound complaining abuot the channel, sorry:) | 18:51 |
| guntbert | Msku: yes, I have seen weird things in the installer now and then - my best advice would be to reinstall (from booting the CD, *not* from windows), and take a good look at the proposed partitioning scheme | 18:51 |
| AnNahar | im just wondering if i should talk to people about a flash issue, etc | 18:51 |
| ElDuderino | can someone help me fix my resolution? editing xorg doesnt seem to help. It displays 800*600 res instead of 1024*768 but the driver is working just fine, even the effects and all | 18:51 |
| guntbert | Halitech: you could be right about the 2.3 GB :-) | 18:51 |
| YeTr2 | ElDuderino: pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 18:52 |
| Msku | okay, I'll try that guntbert | 18:52 |
| Ben64 | ElDuderino: what video card? | 18:52 |
| Halitech | guntbert, well it seems to be the bare minimum that Ubuntu will install on | 18:52 |
| Msku | thanks for your help so far, I'll let you know how it works out :p | 18:52 |
| slon2000ru | please help me after #make all - http://paste.ubuntu.com/263301/ | 18:52 |
| __theIdiotBox | AnNahar, i'm pretty sure someone else might be having that problem as well...so just wait for THAT someone to come in here...and yes try to put as much detailed information as you can....that would definitely help... | 18:52 |
| rakesh | halitech ..what u want to say .is that u r telling fist go to tolls then ie7.im not getting this options | 18:52 |

| mazda01 | slon2000ru, do you have the build-essential package installed? | 18:53 |

| slon2000ru | there error with kernel/bounds.c' | 18:54 |
| guntbert | Msku: on the partitioning page you see the proposal at the bottom, in there there is a small white symbol, you can drag that, but I would advice that you first boot into the live system | 18:54 |
| slon2000ru | yes i have build-essential | 18:54 |

| slon2000ru | YeTr2: i use sudo | 18:55 |
| xikteny | rakesh: ok, in firefox, do you have Tools > Default User Agent ? | 18:55 |

| slon2000ru | how i can login as root | 18:55 |
| Ben64 | ElDuderino: pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 18:55 |
| Halitech | slon2000ru, you don't, prefix the command with sudo | 18:55 |
| rakesh | i hav just intalled..xitney | 18:55 |
| rxcjack | Well, I upgraded to Karmic last night. Obviously using Firefox 3.5.2 now. It seems that everything on Facebook has extra padding around it. It's not like that on 3.5.2 on Windows either. | 18:56 |
| __theIdiotBox | AnNahar, yep I guess its working for those who responded to that, right? okey...... | 18:56 |
| Ben64 | ElDuderino: what's the maximum your monitor can support? what brand/model is it? crt? lcd? | 18:56 |
| mazda01 | slon2000ru, you don't ever really need to login as root. just use sudo with command or do sudo -i to change to user root. | 18:56 |
| xikteny | rakesh: did you restart firefox after installing extension? | 18:56 |
| slon2000ru | i use sudo | 18:56 |
| slon2000ru | Halitech: and what i can do now? | 18:56 |
| __theIdiotBox | rxcjack, did you google on that, btw? | 18:56 |
| rxcjack | I did. | 18:56 |

| xikteny | rakesh: is "User Agent Switcher" listed there? | 18:57 |
| mazda01 | blade, are they on different partitions? just delete the 8.10 partition and resize your 9.04 partition with gparted. | 18:57 |
| rakesh | i i hav gone to add ons but not getting the options of tool......xikteny | 18:57 |
| Daniel1 | harro? My AWN dock thingy isn't showing despite the program installing properly what do? | 18:58 |
| slon2000ru | mazda01: there is a problem with install's discription to kernel/bounds.c' | 18:58 |
| rakesh | yes ..user agent is listed there | 18:58 |
| YeTr2 | ElDuderino: comment out your modeline in the Monitor section, and change the Modes to just "1024x768" in the display subsection of the secreen section | 18:58 |
| rakesh | xiteny yes it is listed | 18:58 |
| slon2000ru | [prepare0] Error 2 | 18:58 |
| Ben64 | ElDuderino: http://paste.ubuntu.com/263309/ | 18:58 |
| ElDuderino | okay | 18:58 |
| xikteny | rakesh: select it, select "Preferences" | 18:58 |
| Halitech | guntbert, yup, looks like about 2 gig in an extended partition, glad its not me | 18:58 |
| Ben64 | ElDuderino: replace your monitor section in xorg.conf with that | 18:58 |
| Ben64 | ElDuderino: but make a BACKUP first! | 18:58 |
| blade | mazda01, do i need to put the disk in or can i do it from commands | 18:59 |
| rakesh | yaa i hav selected it...xikteny.... | 18:59 |
| Halitech | ElDuderino, sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf_old | 18:59 |
| xikteny | rakesh: is the "Hide the user agent switcher tools menu" box checked? | 18:59 |
| rakesh | yes....and i hav ticked on it | 18:59 |
| AnNahar | idiot, i have a confession | 19:00 |
| mazda01 | blade, when you're in 9.04, you can use gparted to remove the partition that holds 8.04. | 19:00 |
| blade | mazda01, or is it possible with gparted | 19:00 |
| xikteny | rakesh: UN-check it, select "OK" | 19:00 |
| YeTr2 | ElDuderino: also consider removing the horiz & vert refresh rates from the monitor section.. xorg normally does a fairly good job of detecting them. | 19:00 |
| blade | mazda01, ok thanks for your help | 19:00 |
| ElDuderino | i did all that | 19:00 |
| Beefcaked | cool pidgin is pretty okay | 19:00 |

| b3rz3rk3r | SockPants, how we doing man? | 19:28 |
| phague | anyone running on a mac here? | 19:28 |
| phague | specifically, a macbook | 19:29 |
| guntbert | !anyone | phague | 19:29 |
| ubottu | phague: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 19:29 |
| __theIdiotBox | sharperguy, off-topic...i was talking about getting a personal blog... | 19:29 |
| ubuntu | partitioned with paragon, ubuntu gives error 'no root partition defined' | 19:29 |
| SockPants | b3rz3rk3r: it works again, i re-enabled effects, i have 4 desktops, the cube works, though i have to re-configure compiz but thats ok :D | 19:29 |
| cryptops1 | Does anyone here know how I can use the special buttons on my keyboard (its a thinkpad), i.e the sound off, sound up, sound down, and "thinkvantage" buttons? | 19:29 |
| SockPants | thanks :) | 19:29 |
| b3rz3rk3r | SockPants, np man, glad to help.. enjoy! | 19:30 |
| ubuntu | installing the 'easy way' ubuntu took only 2.5 gigs & I couldn't do anything - update, install eclipse, nada | 19:30 |
| __theIdiotBox | cryptops1, can you put details about your h/w? brand of desk/notebook | 19:30 |
| sharperguy | __theIdiotBox, Ah ok yeah I'm sure it wouldn't be a problem | 19:30 |
| cryptops1 | __theIdiotBox: lenovo thinkpad w500 (aka t61) | 19:30 |
| musictoto | hi guys. i'm lookin to use the new notifier in ubuntu in one of my self-made C programs. should i use the same approach as with libnotify, or is it a different approach? can you give me a documentation website or something? thanks | 19:30 |
| cryptops1 | __theIdiotBox: I'm not seeing an acpi event or my xbindkeys definition working | 19:30 |
| __theIdiotBox | cryptops1, i assume you're on jaunty, right? | 19:31 |

| phague | I'm worried about heat issues on my macbookpro4,1 under ubuntu and want to be able to keep an eye on things | 19:31 |
| KB1JWQ | phague: Try lmsensors. | 19:31 |
| SnakDoc | anyone know if ssh logs traffic that is forwarded and can you force it to record this kind of information ? | 19:31 |
| phague | KB1JWQ: That in the normal repositories? | 19:32 |
| __theIdiotBox | mike3, assuming you're connected to net let your sync your sys clock with the network clock...that might help... | 19:32 |
| grawity | SnakDoc: 1) No, it doesn't. 2a) Only if you patch sshd, 2b) but why the hell do you need that? | 19:32 |
| KB1JWQ | phague: Try it and see? | 19:32 |
| SnakDoc | was just wondering if it was possible | 19:33 |
| fahadsadah | Two questions, guys. | 19:33 |
| mike3 | __theIdiotBox: sorry? | 19:33 |
| __theIdiotBox | mike3, ...let your sys sync the clock.... | 19:33 |
| mike3 | __theIdiotBox: how with what? NTP? | 19:33 |
| fahadsadah | How do I clear the "apt-get autoremove" list? | 19:33 |
| __theIdiotBox | mike3, yep...did you try that? | 19:33 |
| phague | KB1JWQ: There is wmsensors which looks like a graphical front end for it, but no lmsensors | 19:33 |
| fahadsadah | Removed something depended on by a metapackage. | 19:33 |
| mike3 | __theIdiotBox: no, but whatever time it updates to, can I have it write it back to the CMOS so they both stay consistent? | 19:34 |
| guntbert | cryptops1: no help from me - only info: on my T60 the volume keys work fine, thinkvantage does nothing | 19:34 |
| Belloto | anyone knows howto change the bluetooth name of my PC (i.e. the name my telephone sees when searching for bluetooth devices) ... is there a way to change it NOT changing the computer host name? | 19:34 |
| === iTroll is now known as Guest12914 | ||
| guntbert | Belloto: right click on the bluetooth icon, preferences, friendly name | 19:35 |
| __theIdiotBox | mike3, i guess there is some way to make the cmos to use the realtime clock as the underlying clock, may be you have to google on that..does that make sense? | 19:35 |
| Belloto | guntbert: sorry, I forgot to mention: I have no graphical interface, just command line | 19:35 |
| fahadsadah | mike3: On reboot, the system clock (software) is synced with the CMOS clock (hardware). | 19:36 |
| guntbert | Belloto: then I don't know, sorry | 19:36 |
| mike3 | __theIdiotBox: My concern is just having them sync together so when daylight savings occurs. | 19:36 |
| Belloto | I installed bluez-utils package | 19:36 |
| cryptops1 | Is there a way I can get my kernel to compile using multiple cores? | 19:36 |

| fahadsadah | cryptops1: -j Number-of-cores-here | 19:38 |
| fahadsadah | Pass that to gcc. | 19:38 |
| ipatrol | It was a file that in menus showed as "Decrypt file" | 19:38 |
| fahadsadah | Holds true for all compiles. | 19:38 |
| Pici | ipatrol: 'it'? | 19:38 |
| Belloto | yes guntbert, ubuntu server | 19:38 |
| Belloto | 8:04 | 19:38 |
| ipatrol | It appeard to be its own program | 19:38 |
| sharperguy | b3rz3rk3r, thansk | 19:38 |
| guntbert | Belloto: then you might have better luck in #ubuntu-server | 19:38 |
| fahadsadah | cryptops1: One second. | 19:39 |
| fahadsadah | There's a way to make that default. | 19:39 |
| Belloto | thanks guntbert | 19:39 |
| b3rz3rk3r | sharperguy, hope thats what you were looking for.. works great for me | 19:39 |
| ubuntu | ok, no help with installation and partitions then? ubuntu not recognizing the partition, 'no root system defined' & how to solve this?? | 19:39 |
| guntbert | Belloto: np | 19:39 |
| sharperguy | b3rz3rk3r, I replied asking if it wakes up the screen from power saving mode | 19:39 |

| b3rz3rk3r | sharperguy, yes it will, im running a laptop by my bed as an alarmclock/remote terminal/book/movie screen | 19:40 |
| fahadsadah | Belloto: See if bluez has a config file. | 19:40 |
| sharperguy | b3rz3rk3r, yay! | 19:40 |
| Belloto | thanks guys, gonna check | 19:40 |
| === taube is now known as Taube | ||

| Belloto | # Local device name # %d - device id # %h - host name | 19:43 |
| Belloto | name "%h-%d"; | 19:43 |
| ipatrol | You know the encrypt file option on the right-click menu? | 19:43 |

| openess | after looking deep within the world wide web I have discovered the best bet to getting the internal mic of an aao (netbook) working in skype (running jaunty) is to set "sound in" to "HDA Intel (hw:intel,0)" in skype, but that's not in my list.. any idéas on how to ad it? any package I need to download? | 19:44 |
| sebsebseb | hi | 19:44 |
| ipatrol | Does anyone have a public key???? | 19:46 |
| grawity | ipatrol: We know that option, what is your actual question? | 19:46 |
| ipatrol | It's a strange bug | 19:46 |
| === Guest12914 is now known as _iTroll | ||
| grawity | ipatrol: The option uses GnuPG (gpg) for encryption. | 19:46 |
| mskut | guntberg: still here? | 19:46 |
| ipatrol | Normally if you open a .pgp file, it automatically decrypts to the directory, that stopped happening | 19:47 |
| grawity | What happens now? | 19:47 |
| ipatrol | Nothing | 19:47 |
| jerknextdoor | i decided to try and change my theme to 9.04. laptop got super slow so i restarted X and now ubuntu seems to have lost some preferences? | 19:47 |
| ipatrol | It inquiers to Synaptic trying to find something that will open it | 19:47 |
| ipatrol | So what do I do? | 19:49 |
| grawity | ipatrol: Try installing 'seahorse' | 19:49 |
| ipatrol | It's installed | 19:49 |
| ipatrol | Reinstall? | 19:49 |
| grawity | Might help. | 19:49 |

| Beefcaked | thanks | 19:49 |
| Belloto | thanks llutz, thanks guys | 19:50 |
| jerknextdoor | not only did it break normal ubuntu preferences but it also seems to have broken firefox stuff too | 19:51 |
| grawity | ipatrol: By the way, if you still can't get it working, there's still the 'gpg' command on Terminal. | 19:51 |

However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 19:58 |

| b3rz3rk3r | xiong, System -> Prefs->Appearance->Fonts | 20:03 |
| outlier | I wonder if somebody could throw me a clue. A whole raft of apps have stopped working - firefox, gnome terminal, thunderbird plus a few others I'm not sure of off hand. Starting one creates a process like you'd expect, but no windows open up, and no errors appear in the log. I'm using Hardy. Any ideas? | 20:03 |
| lycan | como entro al chat en español? | 20:03 |
| b3rz3rk3r | !es | lycan | 20:03 |
| outlier | Nautilus is one of the bad apps, btw. | 20:03 |
| maheshjr2000 | outlier I was about to suggest terminal but that wont work XD so go into I think its alt f3 or f4 or something like that | 20:04 |
| maheshjr2000 | and then try running firefox | 20:04 |
| maheshjr2000 | see what it gives you | 20:04 |
| xiong | b3rz3rk3r, i saw that -- it doesn't have any *management* tools -- i want to be able to activate and deactivate fonts, preferably by set -- the same sort of functionality you get from Adobe Type Manager (and Adobe Type Reunion) | 20:04 |
| outlier | maheshjr2000 I can run xterm and xfce terminal just fine. | 20:04 |
| rxcjack | Hi, is there anyone here available to help me figure out an issue? | 20:04 |
| rxcjack | Well, I upgraded to Karmic last night. Obviously using Firefox 3.5.2 now. It seems that everything on Facebook has extra padding around it. It's not like that on 3.5.2 on Windows either. | 20:04 |
| b3rz3rk3r | Alt+f2 maheshjr2000 | 20:04 |
| maheshjr2000 | so try runnning firefox through xterm | 20:05 |
| maheshjr2000 | then tell us what it gives you | 20:05 |
| rxcjack | xterm? | 20:05 |
| b3rz3rk3r | xiong, ah, in that case i sont know of one im afraid :( | 20:05 |
| outlier | I tried that. I get no errors, but no window opens either. ps -ax shows it running, but nothing appears on screen. | 20:05 |
| kryptos | does anyone know if there is a channel for questions about getting World of Warcraft playable on Ubuntu? | 20:05 |
| maheshjr2000 | hmm | 20:06 |

| ubuntu_904 | ok i got ubuntu and windows.. the speaker sound in windows is much higher than in ubuntu any reasons y ?? | 20:06 |
| outlier | The odd man out is gnome terminal - the window opens, but no text appears. Other terminal programs seem normal. | 20:06 |

| outlier | Seems so | 20:06 |
| gcleric | outlier: did you recently change the host name? | 20:06 |
| outlier | nope | 20:06 |

| thowland | lycan: por favor, entre "/join #ubuntu-es" para espanol | 20:09 |
| ubuntu_904 | yes i did tht b3rz3rk3r | 20:09 |
| kryptos | b3rz3rk3r: I have read that ;( it mentions something about logging into wow and a toon which creates a config.wtf file that I can then switch over to opengl but the login page is so garbled I can't even log in ;( | 20:09 |
| mortuis99 | im wanting to install ubuntu server and am wondering if i can also install a gui. im not fermilier with commandline but i an ok qith the gui | 20:09 |
| ubuntu_904 | i went to preference | 20:09 |
| mortuis99 | is this doable? | 20:09 |
| outlier | not really sure - probably did system update - just the normal maintenance stuff. Possibly it has to do with pulseaudio - I had problems with it, so I switched back to using Alsa. But that was weeks ago. | 20:10 |
| maheshjr2000 | ok im using mtpfs and it says transport endpoint is not connected | 20:10 |
| kotarel | Hi, general question, ubuntu alternative install command line system install uses same ram as full graphical install after boot, why is that, is x11 loaded in ram anyways in console only? | 20:10 |
| ubuntu_904 | my pcm n master is high | 20:10 |
| Spike1506 | !audio | 20:10 |
| ubottu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 20:10 |
| b3rz3rk3r | kryptos, i dont use ATi so i cant help with that im afraid.. there is always dual boots and virtual environs if you cant get it to work | 20:11 |
| guntbert | mortuis99: if you want a GUI and there is not going to *very* heavy load: stcik to desktop for now - to get your feet wet | 20:11 |
| ipatrol | I reinstalled seahorse, fail | 20:11 |
| guntbert | *to be | 20:11 |
| Pici | kotarel: The alternate install installs the same software as the regular desktop install. So it installs X as well. | 20:11 |
| mortuis99 | i AM using desktop and wanna set up a server for my house | 20:11 |
| kotarel | @pici so if i want a minimal install i should go with ubuntu-server? | 20:12 |
| TIctoon | has anyone used dvdauthor before?> | 20:12 |
| outlier | If my problem is some gnome thing, is there a way to gracefully get gnome off my system? | 20:12 |
| gcleric | outlier: have you tried logging in to the system as a differnet user? | 20:12 |
| b3rz3rk3r | mortuis99, just install normal ubuntu then add the server packs if you want a gui | 20:12 |
| ipatrol | So what do I do to get that decrypt option back | 20:12 |
| moymoy | kotarel: if you want a minimum instal, go with the minimum install disc | 20:12 |
| Pici | kotarel: Or ubuntu-minimal, but that really is lacking in default packages. | 20:12 |
| kryptos | b3rz3rk3r: alright well thanks anyways | 20:12 |
| Beefcakes | even ubuntu seems so hard to use for someone coming from the windows world +S | 20:12 |
| outlier | gcleric - no, I haven't done that. I'll have to create a user and try that. | 20:12 |
| Michalxo | Beefcaked, well.. have you read any manuals? | 20:12 |
| moymoy | outlier: would you like to just switch to something that's not gnome? | 20:13 |
| guntbert | mortuis99: still you can do it with desktop, but as for server, please read https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/index.html before installing | 20:13 |
| gcleric | outlier: that would narrow the issue to your profile/home dir. | 20:13 |
| b3rz3rk3r | Beefcaked, naturally, if you have been forced to use Windows all your life, anything else will be "hard" as yo uahve to unlearn everything you know about computers | 20:13 |
| moymoy | !minimum | 20:13 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about minimum | 20:13 |

| ubuntistas | only one mashup is shown in preferences | 20:17 |

| ubuntistas | http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Mashup?content=86452 | 20:17 |
| b3rz3rk3r | wesley_, i dont think avg works on linux does it? | 20:17 |
| Belloto | do you know what line should I change in hcid.conf to set my ubuntu hidden? (so that it wont be visible when other bluetooth device is searching for nearby devices) | 20:17 |
| TTNK | moymoy and dont remember, thats why i need to boot in console mode so i can see what chip is in it and try to google a solution | 20:17 |
| moymoy | TTNK: he's not asking if you can reach a graphical login screen | 20:18 |
| mothas | gcleric - back. Seems to have done the trick, though it will take a few minutes to know for sure. | 20:18 |
| m_law | wesley_: u wouldn't need an antivirus on linux | 20:18 |
| moymoy | TTNK: you don't get a console when you ctrl+alt+F1? | 20:18 |
| wesley_ | berzerker, yes quite well. but currently only via terminal | 20:18 |
| firecrotch | m_law: that's not necessarily true | 20:18 |
| TTNK | moymoy no i dont, the screen and all the computer freezes | 20:18 |
| wesley_ | i know there is a gui for it, but now i cant find where it is | 20:18 |
| gcleric | mothas: ok... then there is a config in your old home dir that is causing the issue. | 20:18 |
| gustavoo | guntbert no its not, but its the only place i hope i can get an answer | 20:18 |
| TIctoon | How do I use the submux tool in dvdauthor? bash cant find it | 20:19 |
| wesley_ | thats true i dont need an antivirus, but my uncle still wants one | 20:19 |
| thowland | TTNK: try booting into single user mode - http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/grub-boot-into-single-user-mode/ | 20:19 |
| xiong | one way or another, i want to get all these foreign language fonts out -- what can i do? | 20:19 |
| mothas | gcleric - I notice the new user isn't using the fancy compiz stuff. I wonder if that's the culprit. | 20:19 |
| moymoy | TTNK: it's probably not a good idea to upgrade so far between releases like that.. most people here probably do a fresh install for every version | 20:19 |
| m_law | firecrotch: i would argue that for the majority of linux users it is... otherwise why would it be such a selling point! | 20:19 |

| m_law | hi could anyone tell me why I can't get the permissions for user when i mount my hard disk | 20:20 |
| TTNK | moymoy i know but dont you think its mmm pretty stupid to put a button for an upgrade if it doesnt work? :S | 20:20 |
| wesley_ | clamav isnt a complete option via synaptic | 20:20 |
| moymoy | TTNK: yeah, that's pretty stupid | 20:20 |
| b3rz3rk3r | wesley_, Clam is very popular, but its also CLI only right now. I think there might be frontends from 3rd parties for it tho | 20:20 |
| TTNK | thowland thanks, ill take a look of that | 20:20 |
| TIctoon | your pushing it :P see if you can look through The Ubuntu Pocket Guide, it'll tell you how to install a firewall and antivirus, with a gui | 20:20 |
| moymoy | TTNK: i'm gonna try an upgrade anyway.. don't like reinstalling all my crap | 20:21 |
| ipatrol | Synaptic has virus scanner | 20:21 |
| TTNK | moymoy i have upgraded about 3 or 4 computers this way and nothing wrong happened | 20:21 |
| mothas | gcleric - thanks for the help. I guess something that got updated recently became incompatible with some non-standard thing I was running. | 20:21 |
| wesley_ | what i mean is though synaptic i cant seem to get the entire entitity, things like clamd dont seem to be availabale | 20:21 |
| TIctoon | How do I use the submux tool in dvdauthor? bash cant find it | 20:21 |
| gcleric | mothas: no worries. glad to have helped. =) | 20:21 |
| moymoy | TTNK: are you able to SSH into the computer? | 20:21 |
| gustavoo | :) | 20:21 |
| b3rz3rk3r | wesley_, tried from CLI "sudo apt-get install clamav" | 20:21 |
| b3rz3rk3r | ? | 20:22 |
| TTNK | moymoy well iknow i can reinstall cause i have my /home on a separate partition, but thats not good, it takes time | 20:22 |
| m_law | wesley_: if you go to http://allmyapps.com/ubuntu-9.04/desktop/system/utilities/1 there is an application you can download that works as a GUI for clam | 20:22 |
| wesley_ | so do i not need clamd, is that a part of clamav? | 20:22 |
| moymoy | TTNK: how fast is your internet? you can do a minimum install... and then choose all the packages you want to install | 20:22 |
| GuidMorrow | how do I replace a file that I can't get permission for?! | 20:23 |
| moymoy | TTNK: the iso for minimum install is like 30 MB or something | 20:23 |
| b3rz3rk3r | wesley_, i dont think its needed. you can just clam -R which would do the same thing? | 20:23 |
| TTNK | havent tried that moymoy, i dont want to break the screen i think something about the hor refresh rate is the wrong, i dont want to make it worse | 20:23 |
| Hydrid | the ip information that i see is the ip i have from my modem router and back ? or its the internet ip?? Do i have to open port 21 in my modem router so i can ftp from internet to my computer? | 20:23 |

| gcleric | mothas: if you keep your new user as the default I would add it to the /etc/sudoers config. | 20:23 |
| Pici | t/22 | 20:23 |
| mothas | gcleric: I will, as well as a bunch of other groups it will need access to. | 20:24 |
| b3rz3rk3r | Hydrid, you have to forward TCP/UDP 21 to the IP's that will need it, yes | 20:24 |
| TTNK | its fast, imin the middle of an huarane hehehehe, well i'll try to boot on single mode as thowland told me | 20:24 |
| gcleric | mothas: excellent. =) | 20:24 |
| Hydrid | b3rz3rk3r: ok so i log in my router and enable it | 20:24 |
| m_law | anyone good at editing fstab here | 20:25 |
| b3rz3rk3r | Hydrid, yes sir, just use the web interface and lg in as admin and forward to your hearts content | 20:25 |
| mothas | gcleric: I guess it's time to look at upgrading from Hardy pretty soon. | 20:25 |
| wesley_ | ok i am downloading everything neccessary for clamav, cross you digital fingers, LOL | 20:25 |
| gcleric | mothas: jaunty is very nice... | 20:26 |

| Hydrid | yes | 20:27 |
| Hydrid | vsftpd | 20:27 |
| b3rz3rk3r | Hydrid, ok, then yeah, just do as i said before | 20:27 |
| mothas | gcleric: I'll take that under advisement. I have to admit I'm nervous about it; upgrading *to* Hardy was a pain - pulseaudio, compiz, etc. | 20:27 |

| palestinian | I wanted to try KDE4 since I am all about GUI, but its super confusing coming from gnome environment | 21:00 |
| sebsebseb | palestinian: yeah I know what you mean | 21:00 |
| === prince_j1mmys is now known as prince_jammys | ||
| sebsebseb | palestinian: KDE 3 is better if your coming from Gnome really :) | 21:00 |
| Goldenjo | Hello, i installed the 185 Nvidia drivers on top of the 180. Is the system supposedly to work properly? | 21:01 |
| bucky | Kheops, you need to set up your iptables rules to make your linux box act like a gateway.. that's what you were asking wasn't it.. there are simpler web pages on the internet | 21:01 |
| sebsebseb | palestinian: and want to use as a GUI, thing is, KDE 3 is on the verge of dieing, as a result you have to do the a remix CD or add a repo for it in Ubuntu if you want it | 21:01 |
| palestinian | sebsebseb: Haha i remember trying kde3 and being confused. I'm used to just Appearance properties and the compiz effects, in kde it seems theres 10 different places for tweaking gui. | 21:01 |
| sebsebseb | palestinian: or install in some other way | 21:01 |
| palestinian | i got lost very easily in kde4 | 21:01 |
| palestinian | but beautiful gui! | 21:02 |
| sebsebseb | palestinian: as someone who has used Linux since Fedora Core 2 in 2004, I still don't understand, when it comes to the KDE fan boys, the ones who think it's so much better than Gnome | 21:02 |
| xiong | in synaptic, what's this with 'N packages will be held back and not upgraded'? | 21:02 |
| abhifx | <Goldenjo> i hv done the same thing. till now it seems fine | 21:02 |
| sebsebseb | palestinian: KDE does have some pretty nice apps though, but most of them will work pretty well in Gnome as well so :) | 21:02 |
| palestinian | sebsebseb: I can do things 10x faster in gnome than in kde because i wont spend most of my time tyring to find it. | 21:02 |
| Goldenjo | OK. | 21:02 |
| palestinian | KO. | 21:02 |
| sebsebseb | palestinian: heh indeed I know what you mean, it's always been like that for me to, where do I look for... well it's normalley like that | 21:03 |

| jmendelblatt | I am trying to mount a vfat sata drive (sdb1) to /media/MEDIA. I have mounted the drive through fstab and can access it, but cannot write to the drive.

| guntbert | Hydrid: just try it, you can turn it off if its no good | 21:03 |

| porkpie | hey guy's .... how do I forward all root@localhost emails to another address(s) | 21:05 |
| Michalxo | stercor1, I think you need to install zip sudo apt-get install zip | 21:05 |
| Michalxo | *sorry stercor1 it's rar.. zip should be there by default.. | 21:05 |
| sebsebseb | abhifx: maybe you would be better off asking for help with that in #kubuntu | 21:05 |
| palestinian | Supersaiyan_IV, im trying to do it through Steam. But i doubt it as well. Question: is Cedega REALLY ahead in the game emulation? | 21:05 |
| abhifx | <sebsebseb> ok | 21:05 |
| stercor1 | Michalxo: I have the archiver. Can I bring it up from the command line? | 21:05 |
| Michalxo | stercor1, just rightclick on it.. file-roller should open it and unzip it | 21:05 |
| guntbert | stercor1: righ click on it, extract here... | 21:05 |

| iceroot | amews_aj: no, use texlive for linux | 21:07 |
| sebsebseb | DukeD: of course you can use apt-get | 21:07 |
| mikaelk | Hey. Anyone who knows lots about Mono and GTK# in here willing to help me a with a problem? | 21:07 |
| iceroot | palestinian: yes, with virtualbox 3 non-free version | 21:07 |
| mbeierl | ivenkys: afk, no. The guests should be able to run 32. The other way around is not possible: 64 bit guest cannot be emulated on real 32 bit processor | 21:07 |
| guhhh | sudo apt-get install wine | 21:07 |
| Supersaiyan_IV | palestinian, if cedega says it supports a game ,it works, cedega isn't free though | 21:07 |
| amews_aj | well, actually non-win, just thought you knew more about tex here | 21:07 |

| sebsebseb | mikaelk: I don't know loads about it, but what is your problem? | 21:07 |
| palestinian | thanks iceroot, ill cehck out the website, should i uninstall the ose first? | 21:07 |
| iceroot | palestinian: yes, but dont usw purge. vbox 3 cant then detect your old vms | 21:08 |
| ivenkys | mbeierl: hmm ,, thanks | 21:08 |
| sebsebseb | palestinian: I think the closed source one will go over the OSE basicalley, but probably better to remove it first | 21:08 |
| mikaelk | I'm writing an app in C#. It's supposed to be showing pictures on a screen for a set duration, then move on to the next picture in a playlist. I've gotten so far that it's forcing a redraw of the control, and each time fetching the picture. I've attached a timer which advances the playlist one step and at the same time does an drawingarea.QueueDraw(), it works for a random amount of iterations (2-10), then it stops redrawing, but the timer keeps o | 21:08 |
| mikaelk | n ticking and fetching a new picture. | 21:08 |
| palestinian | okay, hsould i just remove it via synaptic? | 21:08 |
| DukeD | sebsebseb: what command should i use to install it from command line ? | 21:08 |
| mbeierl | ivenkys: I know that it works with VMware that way. | 21:08 |
| guntbert | DukeD: you can use apt-get and you'll need the "dev" packages too (try sudo apt-get install gtk<tab><tab> | 21:08 |
| ivenkys | mbeierl: should be the same thing then | 21:08 |
| iceroot | mikaelk: join #c# (or what the channel is called) | 21:09 |
| Michalxo | guntbert, isn't it like libgtk<tab><tab>? :) | 21:09 |
| palestinian | Yeah, it won't install: Conflicts with the Installed package "virtualbox-ose" | 21:09 |
| mikaelk | There is a channel here for it as well? | 21:09 |
| palestinian | this is so much faster to get answers than the forum | 21:09 |
| sebsebseb | heh guntbert to the rescuse it seems, I don't actsaully know what he would install, but there are people I can ask about stuff like that :) | 21:09 |
| DukeD | guntbert: the tabtab returns 111 possibilities | 21:09 |
| iceroot | mikaelk: at freenode there is a channel for every program and every language | 21:09 |
| n8tuser | mikaelk its also targeting the windows platform so you may do better in windows based channel.. | 21:10 |
| Michalxo | DukeD, type another one letter ;) it will shorten the list ;) | 21:10 |
| DukeD | Michalxo: i don't know what packages are needed, so what other letter i should type | 21:10 |

| false | Brian_: If you're wanting to toy with both environments, you can install them both and switch between gdm and kdm at the login screen. | 21:17 |
| bostux | Brian_: if you don't mind rebooting I would install it that way, I don't like having all of the kde libraries | 21:17 |
| sebsebseb | Brian_: I mean you probably, don't know that you don't dual boot Kubuntu and Ubuntu, as two differnet operating systems, because your reasonably new? | 21:17 |

| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about off | 21:17 |
| sebsebseb | Brian_: you can install Kubuntu into your Ubuntu install and then log into Kubuntu when you want to by choosing that as the session on the log in screen. or with enough RAM you could even virtual machine Kubuntu inside Ubuntu, and be able to run both at the same time like that | 21:18 |
| fahad | cryptopsy , i want to hide the icon in my theme with ubuntu | 21:18 |
| Brian_ | i had kde and gnome both installed before but i was just thinkin if i did duel boot the apps wont mix and just keep them as two systems | 21:18 |
| bl00z | some uses dual vga monitor on 9.04 ? | 21:18 |
| fahad | just the icons in the commandbox | 21:18 |

| cryptopsy | fahad: Worship the ubuntu logo, and wear it with pride on your soul! | 21:19 |
| fahad | yah i know | 21:19 |
| purvesh | Brian_: use virtual box... | 21:20 |
| sebsebseb | pd: ubuntu-desktop is good to have there though, when your doing an upgrade to later version of Ubuntu | 21:20 |

| sebsebseb | pd: it's just a meta package ( or whatever they are called), that tells the package manager to install loads of stuff | 21:20 |
| StateS | I was just in the Kubuntu channel and they recommended that I come here | 21:21 |
| Michalxo | DukeD, probably google will give you more narrow results like here... or ask on #gnome channel | 21:21 |
| xmnt | alankila, guntbert - thanks | 21:21 |
| haruspexed | can i install eeebuntu on normal notebook? wondering couz it is optimized for eee it says... | 21:21 |

| fahad | sorry my english not very good | 21:22 |
| guntbert | mskut: try cd P<tab>, that shows you the way | 21:22 |
| smerz | mskut: type "cd Prog" and hit tab. it will either complete your CD command or show you a list | 21:22 |
| Researcher | Hello. | 21:22 |
| Ben64 | mskut: "cd Program\ Files" | 21:22 |
| cryptopsy | fahad: No thanks, I'm trying to make an ubuntu logo pop up everytime I press certain keys - transparant of course - but just to remind me of the beauty and pride of this OS | 21:22 |

| scorpid | how can i show my webcam to ubuntu | 21:22 |
| sebsebseb | pd: normalley you would want to keep ubuntu-desktop installed though | 21:22 |
| miguelonnnn | hi please 1 question, what are "le" 's? | 21:22 |
| smerz | mskut: otherwise you can use "cd Program\ Files" "\ " <--- thats a space | 21:22 |
| StateS | bucky, yes, but I just went into the wrong channel, they actually recommended that I go to #ubuntu+1 ... arg... though that the +1 was just some extra text... | 21:22 |
| StateS | lol | 21:22 |
| cryptopsy | miguelonnnn: In what context? | 21:22 |
| miguelonnnn | i read, each le is mapped to an inode, but i don't know what are le's | 21:22 |
| pd | sebsebseb: actually i think its cool, i'll know in a minute | 21:22 |
| Brian_ | purvesh: thats what i am doing i was just wondering if there was any advantage to kde having its own partition | 21:22 |
| prince_jammys | mskut: simply quote the directory you're going to, or escape the spaces with a backslash. | 21:22 |
| Royall | whoever told me do to that, I'm logged, and I'm highlighting ops. | 21:22 |
| bucky | StateS, and grub2... with ext4 filesystem? | 21:22 |
| mskut | ah ok, thanks..Ill try that | 21:23 |

| miguelonnnn | i guess they are (fi)le but ... i'm not sure | 21:23 |
| miguelonnnn | no, i'm looked at it and it isn't | 21:23 |
| StateS | bucky, yes, known bug? Oo | 21:23 |
| miguelonnnn | many websites speak bout it but they don't mention its meaning | 21:23 |

| purvesh | Brian_: sorry for using "u" or "ur"...! | 21:26 |
| sebsebseb | Royall: join #ubuntu-ops and ask them? | 21:26 |
| Royall | sebsebseb: I asked for help and was told to ctrl-alt-f4, and I didn't know what it did so I assumed it would fix my problem, but it forced me to log off. Now, I could have been working on important stuff or files of mine could have been lost because of it | 21:26 |
| fahad | thanks man | 21:26 |

| osotogari | i ticked the option for ubuntu to remember my applications on startup. I have unticked it but it still loads up the applications i was running on shutdown | 21:27 |
| fahad | for your Response sure =) | 21:27 |

| ascheel | So... I just noticed, when I change a password with 'passwd', it says "Enter new UNIX password:" and I think it's kinda funny. :) | 21:27 |
| sebsebseb | Royall: ok well I didn't see that, also by the way there are a few bad commands for Linux even, that you might get told to run, so be careful when told to run commands | 21:27 |

| cryptopsy | matrix_: So its a connection issue then. | 21:27 |
| guntbert | Royall: thats no emergency for the ops - you still should apply some "common sense", and maybe ask what a certain command does | 21:27 |
| matrix_ | well i can surf on internet | 21:27 |
| cryptopsy | matrix_: I think amsn has an error log file - maybe its in /var but you can google it | 21:27 |
| Thingymebob | Royall: CTRL+ALT+F4 didn't log you off, it switched you to a virtual terminal you should have been able to get back with ctrl+alt +f7 | 21:27 |
| dfred | what's the command to use to point and click on an application to kill it? | 21:27 |
| cryptopsy | matrix_: Maybe your network is blocking those ports. | 21:28 |
| matrix_ | even pidgin is not working for me | 21:28 |
| Royall | sebsebseb: well I can tell when a command is suspicious, but my problem pertained to keyboard shortcuts so I thought that was something I could use | 21:28 |
| matrix_ | no i never had problems with my ports before | 21:28 |
| cryptopsy | dfred: right click - it depends on the window manager though. | 21:28 |
| miguelonnnn | sry to hard to link | 21:28 |
| Royall | So fine, whatever | 21:28 |
| cryptopsy | matrix_: Check error logs. | 21:28 |

| Royall | okay, a question: when gnome-do starts it always never works. Like, typing things into it brings up nothing | 21:29 |

| Lint | forces: Ubuntu is slow and memory-hungry, and LXDE won't help. Try other distro | 22:13 |

| cryptopsy | Mka: terminal or terminator? | 22:25 |
| mechdave | matt132, the further yo go back, the less hardware requirements you have, but I think as long as the hardware is ok I would not go any further back than 8.04. There are other distros which will run on less, eg: Damn Small Linux | 22:25 |

| matt132 | leonbrussels...I really only know Ubuntu. (been using since 8.04) would debian and dsl be easy enough for me to set up and explain to the user how it works | 22:30 |
| IdleOne | djanatyn: This error is returned if an unrecognized command is entered into the command-line or in a boot sequence section of a config file and that entry is selected. | 22:31 |
| The_Jag | leonbrussels: is there a way to backup my virtual machine image before getting rid of old virtualbox? | 22:32 |
| cryptopsy | orgy`: You can install ubuntu on a usb stick and have it boot off that. | 22:32 |
| histo | orgy`: yes | 22:33 |
| orgy` | cryptopsy will it be bootable if i create it this way https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UNR/Installation/Easy ? | 22:33 |
| leonbrussels | DSL is really the extreme, I would call it almost unusable. Debian with GNOME on the other hand looks just like ubuntu, except it's got a lot less things that come with it. | 22:33 |
| wasutton3 | i am trying to run my cups server over my apache server, does anyone know how to do that? | 22:34 |

| cryptopsy | guntbert: Excuse me? | 22:39 |
| djanatyn | I'm sorry - I was a little worried about losing XP. | 22:39 |
| wasutton3 | djanatyn, that i believe is buried in the menu.lst file | 22:40 |
| cryptopsy | djanatyn: You will not lose XP from making changes to the boot loader. | 22:40 |
| Zeratul2k | hello everyone | 22:40 |
| hatter243 | djanatyn, when you hit the grub boot loader press any key, select the stanza for the ubuntu partition and press 'e'. Then select the first line and press 'e' again. Change the bit that says (1,X) to (0,X). (the X can be anything...) | 22:40 |
| cryptopsy | Zeratul2k: Hello - do you have a starcraft related question? | 22:40 |
| hatter243 | djanatyn, if that works and Ubuntu boots properly then you'll need to edit menu.lst to fix the error. Which people can tell you about later | 22:41 |
| djanatyn | I tried disabling the other SATA drive, and it worked! Thank you so much :D | 22:41 |

| cryptopsy | hatter243: Please explain to me how search engines are not support tools. | 22:43 |
| wasutton3 | Zeratul2k, that can result because of extremely close proximity to the router. try backing off a little and see if it changes, also what is your wireless card? | 22:44 |
| Myrtti | cryptopsy: when helping, be helpful. Pointing people to "Google it" isn't helpful. | 22:44 |
| Trijntje | Zeratul2k: In theory, that might even be too close. Try a few meters away ;) Other than that, I wouldnt know | 22:44 |
| hatter243 | cryptopsy, I will not. Do you have an ubuntu related problem? If not, please use #ubuntu-offtopic | 22:44 |
| cryptopsy | Myrtti: Please search for grub error 25 in google - and then explain to me how this challenge cannot be met by someone who has figured out how to get on the internet in the first place. | 22:45 |
| Zeratul2k | @wasutton3: That's actually how I noticed the problem. I normally sit in the living room and the router is in the study. WinXP has normal signal (around 50%) but Ubuntu keeps disconnecting | 22:45 |
| larsjaaa_ | Zeratul2k: maybe not hold your computer above the router, the antenna is most likely in the lid? or it might be buggy reporting from your wirelesscard | 22:45 |
| djanatyn | Does anyone know how to fix my problem? It came back. | 22:45 |
| Zeratul2k | I tried getting closer to see if it got better. It doesn't disconnects, but the signal meter says that | 22:45 |

| cryptopsy | djanatyn: I could, but I'd rather not enable incorrect behavior. | 22:48 |
| McIvor | Zeratul2k: are you using the native linux driver or the windows one? | 22:49 |
| wasutton3 | quentusrex: what seems to be the problem? | 22:49 |
| quentusrex | the gigabit switch is right here, and it's connected properly. | 22:49 |
| Zeratul2k | @larsjaaa: Well, if it keeps disconnecting when I'm just 10 meters away, what can I ping? | 22:49 |
| Zeratul2k | @AJC_Z0: This is the only wireless card I have, the laptop is on dual-boot. | 22:49 |
| Zeratul2k | @wasutton3: I have only checked with this particular network :s | 22:49 |
| quentusrex | it's only connecting with 100mbit | 22:49 |
| cryptopsy | djanatyn: More important than getting ubuntu and all this technical mumbo-jumbo working is fixing you to learn how to use it. | 22:49 |
| wasutton3 | Zeratul2k, try connecting to a different wireless network, if its all the wireless network its the driver, if not then something else | 22:49 |
| Zeratul2k | @McIvor: Native linux drivers. Ubuntu recognized it out-of-the-box and I didn't bother to mess with it, less I break something in the process... | 22:49 |
| cryptopsy | djanatyn: I'm sorry if that sounded overly friendly. I just can't help myself from looking out for my fellow man sometimes. | 22:50 |

| RRockon | I know Seti, what's folding@home? | 22:56 |
| cryptopsy | RRockon: Its like Rosetta@home. | 22:56 |
| Halitech | RRockon, same idea as seti but it folds genomes for medical research | 22:56 |

| causasui | cryptopsy: I'm not sure what you mean by two devices. I do have two NICs, if that's what you mean | 23:05 |
| Halitech | djanatyn, if you need to remove grub, you can use your windows install cd to go into the recovery and fix the mbr or you can use supergrub to manage the booting | 23:06 |
| djanatyn | Okay, I figured it out-whenever I go to the BIOS setup and disable/enable the drive, GRUB works. However, if I don't, it doesn't. Any ideas on how to fix this? I just got onto xubuntu - can anyone tell me how to uninstall/reinstall/fix GRUB? | 23:06 |
| n8tuser | causasui-> look into load balancing | 23:06 |
| cryptopsy | djanatyn: Or you can use lilo instead, maybe you'll get an error with a different number, which may be one you know how to fix. | 23:06 |

| Glowball | Ah, I found it | 23:23 |
| Glowball | Strange I looked over that every time I searched for it | 23:23 |
| n8tuser | SJr -> not listed with lshal? anything plugged in or it is just an adapter? pwered on? | 23:23 |
| cryptopsy | Glowball: Excellent. | 23:23 |
| Glowball | Thanks anyway :) | 23:23 |
| ActionParsnip | puppetmaster_: ask in #fedora | 23:23 |
| puppetmaster_ | thanks | 23:23 |
| puppetmaster_ | sorry guys :) | 23:23 |

| nicklas_ | yo | 23:24 |
| cryptopsy | nicklas_: Sup, homie | 23:24 |
| n8tuser | dellminiuser -> are you using a network manager like tool? which one? | 23:24 |
| nicklas_ | cryptopsy: i know you? :-) | 23:24 |
| dellminiuser | I'm just using the default 9.04 Netbook Remix setup, whatever that uses. | 23:24 |
| SJr | n8tuser, yeah it's plugged in | 23:25 |
| cryptopsy | nicklas_: No, but I felt compassionate to reply to you in broken, english-like, terms which you are familiar with. | 23:25 |
| n8tuser | SJr it probably does not recognize it, so you have to hunt for the driver | 23:25 |

| cryptopsy | djanatyn: Yes - make sure to pay for the tech-support options - its quite handy! | 23:32 |
| sebsebseb | djanatyn: can you repeate your issue, and ignore stupid comment such as the one cryptopsy just gave you | 23:32 |
| djanatyn | especially you, cryptopsy :( | 23:32 |
| miguelonnnn | please, i'll repeat it again if needed but somebody answer me :S | 23:32 |
| djanatyn | sure. | 23:32 |
| fear | hey everyone i got a big problem that i could use someones help with | 23:32 |
| cryptopsy | sebsebseb: Try scrolling up, it was just a couple lines above. | 23:32 |
| cryptopsy | fear: Ok - shoot. | 23:33 |
| sebsebseb | cryptopsy: yeah I did, but coudn't just find it, but if I search for your name I will | 23:33 |
| sebsebseb | cryptopsy: uh messaged wrong one by mistake ah! | 23:33 |
| sebsebseb | cryptopsy: wait no I didn't | 23:33 |
| cryptopsy | sebsebseb: 3rd warning. Now I'm going to /ignore you | 23:33 |
| sebsebseb | cryptopsy: well I kind of did | 23:33 |

| djanatyn | I just installed xubuntu, and rebooted. Everything ran fine, and I booted into XP to see if it was alright. It was, so I rebooted again, to get to xubuntu. Unfortunately, I recieved GRUB error 25 and couldn't boot. After some experimentation, I figured out that I could boot into the OS choice menu by enabling/disabling the 2nd SATA drive checker in my BIOS. | 23:35 |
| fear | hey i got a problem | 23:35 |
| miguelonnnn | what problem fear | 23:35 |
| wers | on xchat, can i do away with the network list and just autojoin networks on startup? I want to autojoin GIMPNet and freenode. how do i do that? :) | 23:35 |
| djanatyn | now, I'm trying to fix GRUB so that it boots correctly without having to swap the SATA checker. | 23:36 |
| miguelonnnn | yeah wers, there's an do not show this again checkbox on that list window | 23:36 |
| sebsebseb | djanatyn: ok | 23:36 |
| miguelonnnn | hi please 1 question: cp *.exe will copy any exe files. How can i say all (*) except file.exe??¿? i mean , how to make * exceptions? | 23:37 |
| Otacon22 | Wich is the best way to blacklist a module? | 23:37 |
| fear | can i access password files through ubuntu? | 23:37 |
| === GD515 is now known as Gd515 | ||
| === zvonimir_ is now known as zvonkorp | ||
| un1c0rn2 | * means all :S | 23:37 |
| jpds | Otacon22: Put it into /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf | 23:37 |
| cryptopsy | djanatyn: In the end I ended up having the ice-cream sandwitch. Gotta watch those carbs, hehe! | 23:37 |
| zvonkorp | i'm getting a NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_REFUSED error when doing an smbclient test - the firewall isn't showing anything denied, hosts are configured and samba daemon is set up to allow incoming connections from the appropriate hosts - i'm running ubuntu 9.x | 23:37 |
| miguelonnnn | yeah, nano /etc/passwd | 23:38 |
| dellminiuser | Right, well, suffice it to say, silly issues like wifi disconnecting and then refusing to reconnect are why I won't be switching to linux anytime soon. Goodbye. | 23:38 |
| sebsebseb | djanatyn: your the one that wanted to get rid of Xubuntu, just delete the partition from the Live CD, and use the Windows CD to go over the last remaining bit of Grub. and maybe you can Wine the Windows apps you want to run. or virtual machine Windows inside Ubuntu/Xubuntu with enough RAM for them | 23:38 |
| unop | miguelonnnn, with bash. !(*.exe) | 23:38 |
| Wicked | !ntfs | 23:38 |
| ubottu | To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE | 23:38 |
| Wicked | !NTFS-3g | 23:38 |
| ubottu | ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions | 23:38 |
| Otacon22 | jpds, i just have /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist | 23:38 |
| miguelonnnn | zvonkorp i too get an nt error when connecting to samba server with smbclient, but everyting goes fine so i don't care | 23:38 |
| miguelonnnn | unop, thanks, how would be the syntax to make * but file.exe? | 23:39 |
| wers | miguelonnnn, but how about autojoining? :) | 23:39 |
| Bookman | I just created dvd files with devede and it created two folders, video_ts and audio_ts. If I burn those to a dvd, will it be playable on a dvd player? | 23:39 |
| zvonkorp | miguelonnnn: i'm not able to view any other computers in the workgroup though - my error may be relevant to that yes? | 23:39 |
| miguelonnnn | tap edit button on a selected server you want to autojoin, and check the autojoin | 23:39 |
| unop | miguelonnnn, you mean "everything else except file.exe", right? | 23:39 |
| unop | miguelonnnn, !(file.exe) | 23:40 |
| fear | sorry cryptopsy | 23:40 |
| fear | did you get anything i said before? | 23:40 |
| miguelonnnn | maybe zvonkorp , i don't have access to other computers so i can't list em | 23:40 |
| miguelonnnn | yeah unop | 23:40 |
| cmp | hello, i need some help | 23:40 |
| sebsebseb | !ask | cmp | 23:40 |
| ubottu | cmp: 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. :-) | 23:40 |
| miguelonnnn | so it would be cp * !(file.exe)? | 23:41 |
| cryptopsy | fear: No, I completely disregarded it. | 23:41 |
| jpds | Otacon22: Then, there. | 23:41 |
| fear | ok.... i was just messing around on my windows 2000 computer and i accidentaly changed a password file. | 23:41 |
| fear | i have ubuntu | 23:41 |
| cryptopsy | fear: I did so because I wanted everyone to see your problem - so they can also contribute to the solution. | 23:41 |
| unop | miguelonnnn, well, no. cp !(file.exe) /path/to/destination | 23:41 |
| fear | i heard there was a way to access password files | 23:41 |
| unop | miguelonnnn, you can test this out with echo. echo cp !(file.exe) /path/to/destination | 23:42 |
| cryptopsy | fear: Need more info. There are many password files. | 23:42 |
| fear | how do i get to them through ubuntu | 23:42 |
| Otacon22 | jpds, i've already done it, but it don't work... (i'm trying to blacklist the module lp). At reboot i have to do modprobe -r lp again ... | 23:42 |
| cmp | sebsebseb, i wanted to configure my trancparancy on uabuntu - and i guess i did it for any - of ( 0 ) value - so i dont see any of my menus .. i want to know how to restore it and re configure it again ? | 23:42 |
| miguelonnnn | whatt? but what would cp !(file.exe) path/ do? | 23:42 |
| miguelonnnn | i want make exceptions to * wildcard | 23:42 |
| unop | miguelonnnn, copy all files except file.exe to path/ | 23:42 |
| cryptopsy | fear: No one is going to advise you how to crack a windows 2000 machine with Ubuntu. | 23:42 |

| sebsebseb | !panels | cmp | 23:42 |
| ubottu | cmp: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 23:42 |
| fear | is there anyway i can prove to you it is my machine and I am locked out... | 23:43 |
| fear | cause my dad is going to kill me | 23:43 |
| miguelonnnn | hmm but where's the asterisk at cp !(file.exe)? | 23:43 |
| cmp | ubottu, i dont see any thing to type in - | 23:43 |
| bruce89 | it's actually gconftool-2 | 23:43 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 23:43 |
| Bookman | fear: check with microsoft | 23:43 |
| unop | miguelonnnn, that's what !(pattern) does .. see the extglob section in the bash manpage | 23:43 |

| miguelonnnn | ahh great! thanks unop | 23:43 |
| sebsebseb | cmp: yeah you need the terminal up, of course the menu is the way, but there's also a way to get it on the keyboard which is uhmm | 23:44 |
| cryptopsy | fear: Usually this involves resetting the password, granted you have admin privilege. | 23:44 |
| bruce89 | alt F2 | 23:44 |
| sebsebseb | bruce89: heh you answer me in here :D | 23:44 |
| cryptopsy | fear: I think you should deal with your problem head-on, and tell your father what you've done. Maybe he knows a way. | 23:44 |
| fear | thats the thing i cant log in.....the computer was set up to automatically log in | 23:44 |
| bruce89 | sebsebseb: that's not right anyway | 23:44 |
| fear | yea maybe.......im going to still try for other options | 23:45 |
| sebsebseb | bruce89: well it was cmp I was trying to help, see above for the issue | 23:45 |
| keith | How can I give an autostart application a delay when I sign in? | 23:45 |
| bruce89 | I don't know what it is, but Alt+F2 then typing the command would work (I think" | 23:45 |
| cmp | sebsebseb, is there any way could help me with it ? | 23:45 |
| unop | keith, change the autostart command to. sleep 10 && command | 23:46 |
| sebsebseb | cmp: is this correct, none of your Gnome menus show anymore? | 23:46 |
| sebsebseb | cmp: the panels aren't there anymore? | 23:46 |
| Gd515 | what do you guys think of Turbo IRC i had Xchat but im starting to like this one | 23:46 |
| cmp | sebsebseb, yes | 23:46 |
| keith | unop, I tried that. Seemed to make it so nothing autostarted | 23:46 |
| sebsebseb | cmp: ok you need to get the terminal the other way, bruce89 help with that :) and then run that command and it should work | 23:47 |
| unop | keith, hmm, not sure then -- I don't use gnome so I couldn't help troubleshoot here | 23:47 |
| bruce89 | cmp: Alt+F2, then type the above command in the box thing | 23:47 |
| keith | unop, what do you use? | 23:48 |
| unop | keith, I can suggest making a script that does all this for you -- and then all you have to do is call the script | 23:48 |
| unop | keith, I use fluxbox | 23:48 |
| cmp | bruce89, what command? | 23:48 |
| sebsebseb | !panels | cmp | 23:48 |
| ubottu | cmp: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 23:48 |
| keith | unop, also tried a script... but I put it in my autorun directory as well... | 23:48 |
| bruce89 | cmp: gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel | 23:48 |
| sebsebseb | bruce89: no -2 | 23:49 |
| unop | keith, and what happens when you use a script? | 23:49 |
| bruce89 | no, there's a -2 | 23:49 |
| keith | unop, it did the same thing | 23:49 |
| sebsebseb | bruce89: not in what the bot gave | 23:49 |
| bruce89 | it's wrong | 23:49 |
| unop | keith, and do you know if the script was called at all ? | 23:49 |
| unop | sebastien, bruce89 - either way works | 23:49 |
| sebsebseb | bruce89: if you say so, but I have used what the bot gave before to reset the panels without problems | 23:50 |
| keith | unop, no... i suppose I should put an output line in there so I can see | 23:50 |
| bruce89 | unop: maybe not an all distros clearly | 23:50 |
| unop | keith, well, I would suggest creating a temp file or something -- because you won't see any output .. | 23:50 |
| keith | unop, i meant outputting to a file. :) | 23:50 |

| teehee | how do u install a .tar.bz2 file | 23:55 |
| sebsebseb | !tar | teehee | 23:55 |
| unop | !source | 23:55 |
| ubottu | teehee: Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME) or Ark (KDE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression | 23:55 |
| ubottu | You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html | 23:55 |
| sebsebseb | bruce89: I know you can help more properly with the above issue | 23:55 |
| mneptok | teehee: is this Flash? | 23:55 |
| mneptok | teehee: did you install the plugin from the repos? | 23:56 |
| teehee | yeah | 23:56 |
| bruce89 | sebastien: I did sort of | 23:56 |
| mneptok | teehee: with what command? | 23:56 |
| bruce89 | sebsebseb: that is | 23:56 |
| teehee | i dont remember found it somehwere do u guys have one maybe i typed it wrong | 23:56 |
| sebsebseb | bruce89: yeah I meant for installing a tar.bz2, but they got a Flash issue hmm | 23:56 |
| sebsebseb | teehee: did you try flashplugin-installer ? | 23:57 |
| sebsebseb | teehee: it downloads and installs Flash for you from Adobe | 23:57 |
| burf | hey guys - is there a way to change the icons on desktop folders, i can only seem to change the icon used for all folders? | 23:57 |
| teehee | it says newest version already installed | 23:57 |
| teehee | why does youtube only work | 23:58 |
| bruce89 | installing the flash player from a tarball is asking for trouble | 23:58 |
| sebsebseb | bruce89: surely that depends? ,but useually to get it from the repo | 23:59 |
| fsufitch | hey, question: how can i start a program with a command so that it runs independent of the program that launched it? (daemon-like) | 23:59 |
| bruce89 | mind you, I'd say that installing Flash by any means is asking for it | 23:59 |
| sebsebseb | bruce89: useually better above | 23:59 |
| sebsebseb | bruce89: heh | 23:59 |
| aprilhare | i have multiple installs of firefox (3.0.x and 3.5.x for instance) - how do i merge the bookmarks or recover when i delete a particular version of firefox? | 23:59 |
| sebsebseb | yeah Flash is bad really since it's closed source nature | 23:59 |
| burf | can it be done in ubuntu? | 23:59 |
| bruce89 | well, installing anything from "source" is a bit dodgy at the best of times | 23:59 |
