| sebsebseb | teehee: what do you want Flash for? | 00:00 |
| cooldude | Flash is bad when it locks up browser when useing it for webcam video chat | 00:00 |
| teehee | to watch videos like on hulu or other sites and to play flash games and stuff | 00:00 |
| sebsebseb | teehee: maybe Gnash and Swfdec are good enough now | 00:01 |
| teehee | what!? | 00:01 |
| bruce89 | probably not for those sort of sites though | 00:01 |
| sebsebseb | teehee: Swfdec being an alternative from the open source community, and Gnash being an alternative from the Free Software Foundation and free software community | 00:01 |
| xiong | cryptopsy, which is standard? the window showing what is there now or the window showing what was there before something changed? | 00:01 |
| cryptopsy | xiong: I never said anything about a standard. | 00:02 |
| bruce89 | sebsebseb: well, swfdec is a GNOME thing, gnash isn't | 00:02 |
| sebsebseb | bruce89: oh didn't know Swfdec was a Gnome thing | 00:02 |
| CarlFK | I deleted some files from a ext3 fs external drive. I want one of them back. any recomendations? | 00:02 |
| bruce89 | in the external dependency list | 00:02 |
| teehee | do they work as flash or something | 00:02 |
| sebsebseb | teehee: Adobe Flash in Ubuntu can be a bit hmm, quite a few people have had issues, and not much that can be done about them either, since it's closed source | 00:02 |

| 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 | 00:03 |
| tyler_d | anyone know how to fix my user permissions? | 00:04 |
| bruce89 | CarlFK: indeed, for some reason files that are removed on ext3+ filesystems are pretty much gone for good | 00:04 |
| sebsebseb | bazhang: and they are out of here :) | 00:04 |
| causasui | tyler_d: What problem are you having? | 00:04 |
| tyler_d | cannot run users-admin says I don't have permission | 00:05 |
| master_ | p PLEASE i am setting up a virtual box on pc and cant seem to share folders between host and guest...please help | 00:05 |
| jpds | !recover | bruce89, CarlFK | 00:05 |
| ubottu | bruce89, CarlFK: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel | 00:05 |
| causasui | master_: Try #vbox | 00:05 |
| tyler_d | causasui: I tried gksu users-admin but didn't receive the unlock thing.... | 00:05 |
| causasui | tyler_d: what are you trying to do? | 00:05 |
| master_ | causaui: through terminal? | 00:05 |
| tyler_d | causasui: I was trying to watch my log files, but was unable due to lack of permission, and therefor tried to get into users-admin to repair this... and now cannot | 00:06 |
| causasui | master_: no, the IRC channel #vbox | 00:06 |
| mgjschdl | hey.. does anybody know which dependancies I need to compile qkismet or a debian repo for it? | 00:06 |
| master_ | #vbox | 00:06 |
| master_ | how do i connect? | 00:06 |
| causasui | master_: do /join #vbox | 00:06 |
| causasui | tyler_d: okay, you shouldn't need to change any permissions to read your logs | 00:06 |
| tyler_d | causasui: exactly ;) | 00:07 |
| bjorkintosh | what can i do about this error: The following packages have unmet dependencies: freeglut3-dev: Depends: xlibmesa-glu-dev or | 00:08 |
| bjorkintosh | i tried installing xlibmesa but it too gave me errors. | 00:08 |
| metalf8801 | can I look up the name of my server? | 00:08 |
| Uqbar | metalf8801: feel free to do so | 00:09 |
| metalf8801 | Uqbar: ok I'll try to word that better | 00:10 |
| Uqbar | bjorkintosh: apt-get -f install may help | 00:10 |
| metalf8801 | how do I look up the hostname of my server? | 00:10 |
| bjorkintosh | Uqbar, how? | 00:11 |
| bucky | metalf8801, type hostname | 00:11 |
| Uqbar | metalf8801: if you mean the DNS name of your server then you can run host $IPaddress | 00:11 |
| bjorkintosh | it reported no errors | 00:11 |
| metalf8801 | lol that's it thanks | 00:11 |
| bucky | metalf8801, type hostname -f | 00:12 |
| teehee | does anyone know of an ultimated video file converter and dvd burner | 00:12 |
| teehee | or just the ultimate video file converter | 00:13 |
| master_ | Hi anyone familiar with vbox? | 00:13 |
| === StupidWeasel_ is now known as StupidWeasel | ||
| sebsebseb | master_: yep | 00:13 |
| bruce89 | sebsebseb: I wondered when you'd answer that | 00:13 |
| sebsebseb | bruce89: well it was just now and I pretty much answer straight away, what about it? | 00:14 |
| Mka | teehee: a dvd burner - k3b and a video file converter avidemux2 | 00:14 |
| master_ | seb: can you assist with how i share folders | 00:14 |
| CarlFK | jpds: thanks for the link | 00:14 |
| sebsebseb | master_: maybe not, but I seen the options in the settings for the vm's | 00:14 |
| sebsebseb | master_: share which folders? | 00:14 |
| m_law | teehee: yeh avidemux2 is gr8 but it does take a little bit of time to learn what your doing with it | 00:15 |
| bruce89 | teehee: if you liked the hard way, gst-launch-0.10 | 00:15 |
| sebsebseb | master_: personally I woudn't bother sharing folders with the host, unless I had a proper valid reason to do so | 00:15 |
| master_ | seb: I want to transfer a program from 9.04 to the windows host | 00:15 |
| sebsebseb | master_: Windows as a host :( | 00:15 |
| wiretapped | when/why is the debian/dirs file necessary? | 00:16 |
| sebsebseb | master_: really Windows should be inside another OS that has been designed to be more secure, Ubuntu for example | 00:16 |
| bruce89 | master_: that wouldn't work I don't think | 00:16 |
| joecmn | 9.04 installation hangs on xenon processor (hp z400) | 00:16 |
| master_ | seb: windows as guest in ubuntu | 00:16 |
| * bruce89 was under the impression the Linux Kernel was written for a laugh | 00:16 | |
| sebsebseb | master_: they have good documentation for Virtualbox, that you can download from the website, that will tell you how to do shared folders and that, plus there's #vbox | 00:16 |
| sebsebseb | bruce89: uhmm? :D | 00:17 |
| bruce89 | OpenBSD is an example of a OS that was written for security | 00:17 |
| sebsebseb | bruce89: ah yes, but pretty much whatever OS is good as host, as long as it's not Windows :) | 00:18 |
| streblo | i'm unable to access a server thats serving on port 8000. i can access apache running on 80, but the server software running on 8000 (django) is inaccessible. why would this be? | 00:22 |
| d0_0b | secure or not, windows is an OS more friendly and this take more important to user TODAY | 00:22 |
| streblo | i added 8000 to the accessible ports list with iptables | 00:22 |
| d0_0b | but anyway Windonw is windows! | 00:23 |
| mgjschdl | hey.. does anybody know which dependancies I need to compile qkismet or a debian repo for it? | 00:23 |
| sebsebseb | d0_0b: the OS itself isn't that good, but since they gained most of the desktop market in the 90's, most desktop software that loads of people want to run today, is made for Windows, which is why it still has such a huge market share. Even though programs such as Wine can run quite a lot of those programs and rather well. Plus with help from people with at least someone with know how, even the not so technical people can | 00:24 |
| sebsebseb | get on great with Ubuntu, and I know. | 00:24 |
| streblo | mgjschdl, you can use a program called apt-rdepends to find out | 00:24 |
| bols | streblo: try monitoring with a sniffer on the server | 00:25 |
| streblo | bols, monitor from the server? | 00:25 |
| bols | a sniffer like iptraf maybe | 00:25 |
| mgjschdl | does that also work for sources? | 00:25 |
| streblo | bols, is there a reason why 8000 would be inaccessible, but other common ports are accessible? | 00:25 |
| sebsebseb | d0_0b: not that technical people can get on great with Ubuntu, as long as at least someone, is willing to help them out properly with that, and I know | 00:25 |
| bols | streblo: well there could be a coupl of reasons | 00:26 |
| d0_0b | umm yeah! | 00:26 |
| bruce89 | I don't think this is the place for such a "high level" debate | 00:26 |
| sebsebseb | bruce89: heh | 00:26 |
| d0_0b | LOL! | 00:26 |
| streblo | bols, i'm running jaunty server, the stock version | 00:26 |
| derenrich | software store? | 00:26 |
| d0_0b | we just talking nicelly | 00:26 |
| d0_0b | ;) | 00:27 |
| streblo | does jaunty lock down stuff like that by default | 00:27 |
| bruce89 | go to ##stuffthathasbeensaidbeforeamilliontimes for tha | 00:27 |
| streblo | bruce89, they told me to come here | 00:27 |
| sebsebseb | streblo: he didn't mean you | 00:27 |
| bols | streblo: sorry the wireless keybd run out of batteries :P | 00:27 |
| gump_ | fast question, where and what name, the log for the startup-sequence ? | 00:27 |
| streblo | oh hah sorry bruce89 | 00:28 |
| bruce89 | streblo: I meant d0_0b and sebsebseb , but well done | 00:28 |
| bjorkintosh | is there something badly broken in my sources list or something? | 00:28 |
| bjorkintosh | or why's the damned thing refusing to resolve dependencies? | 00:28 |
| gump_ | i mean boot | 00:28 |
| bjorkintosh | i've runa update/upgrade and whatnot to no avail. | 00:28 |
| streblo | bjorkintosh, whats the problem? | 00:28 |
| bols | streblo: try to see if you can connect to the port from outside, there are several ways to do that | 00:28 |
| bjorkintosh | streblo, unresolved free-glut3 dependencies | 00:28 |
| bjorkintosh | it simply refuses to install. | 00:29 |
| streblo | bols, i'm trying to access it from the outside | 00:29 |
| codeshah | hey guys I have require_once("Mail.php") but it can't find it ? do I have to install this? | 00:29 |
| d0_0b | debian will have a good place in the market when the people see with they our eyes that windows is just a cookie (sweet but weak) | 00:29 |
| bols | streblo: but are you checking from inside the server that the connection is effectively being made? you can use iptraf for that | 00:29 |
| bols | or netcat | 00:29 |
| sebsebseb | d0_0b: Debian has a nice place in the server market | 00:30 |
| sebsebseb | d0_0b: with Redhat | 00:30 |
| d0_0b | not doudt about it | 00:30 |
| d0_0b | but why red hat dont open his desktop version? | 00:31 |
| bruce89 | Fedora? | 00:31 |
| d0_0b | it was a good OS! :( | 00:32 |
| bruce89 | was? | 00:32 |
| d0_0b | yeah | 00:33 |
| FunnyLookinHat | Yeah it sucks now. | 00:33 |
| FunnyLookinHat | RH doesn't give it the time of day unfortunately... | 00:33 |
| sebsebseb | d0_0b: Fedora is the desktop version basicalley, and it still is good, well if it will let you install it, it didn't like my partition set up or whatever when I tried to install Fedora 11 | 00:33 |

| bardtronix | hi | 00:38 |
| bardtronix | Some of you know edulinux | 00:39 |
| sebsebseb | bardtronix: Edubuntu well yeah | 00:39 |
| sebsebseb | bardtronix: basically Ubuntu with stuff for schools | 00:39 |
| bardtronix | sebsebseb,tsp: reponteciar pc's for old ladies with edulinux | 00:41 |
| sebsebseb | bardtronix: what? | 00:41 |
| bols | i think he meant "reuse" | 00:41 |
| Bllasae | bols: how do you figure? | 00:43 |
| Bllasae | the first 40 characters are jibberish | 00:43 |
| bols | Bllasae: there are just 11 garbarge chars (and that is to english speakers): "reponteciar" | 00:44 |
| Bllasae | Yeah, see, I don't speak that language | 00:45 |
| bols | me neither but anyway that's what i think he meant | 00:46 |

| TheCrittaC | Hello. Does anyone here know how to disable ipv6 in Ubuntu 9.04? I have the 2.6.28-15-generic kernel. | 00:48 |
| livingdaylight | ?using ff which plugins are recommended, mplayer or vlc? | 00:48 |
| Pici | fyi, Edulinux is not Edubuntu, so if he ever responds, probably best to shuffle him to ##linux | 00:49 |

| JuJuBee | Can someone help me figure out how to view the files on a dvd video? WHen I put the disk in and select open with dolphin, it tries to open /medi/cdrom0 but if I try to play with vlc, it opens /dev/sr0 | 00:51 |
| JuJuBee | I am trying to convert what is on the dvd so I can upload to youtube | 00:52 |
| Dr_Willis | JuJuBee: /media/cdrom is the mount point for the 'device' /dev/sr0 | 00:52 |
| === leaf-sheep is now known as shady-sheep | ||
| Dr_Willis | JuJuBee: many media players access teh device directrly. | 00:52 |
| Scunizi | JuJuBee: to convert you need something like handbreak.fr or dvd:rip | 00:52 |
| alleyrat | can anyone here help me with a quick wget question? | 00:53 |
| Inerg | Any one here going to be able to help me with dosage? | 00:53 |
| Scunizi | ask and you might receive an answer | 00:53 |
| Dr_Willis | JuJuBee: if you want to play the disk vlc or mplayer can play from disk.no need to open with the file manager first. | 00:53 |
| JuJuBee | Dr_Willis: I want to convert to a format I can upload to youtube | 00:53 |
| Dr_Willis | JuJuBee: you realize that youtube has a 10 min 'video legenth' limit? | 00:54 |
| Dr_Willis | JuJuBee: try winff, or other video converter tools | 00:54 |
| shady-sheep | Does dd work over the Internet? Ie, saving the output of file on the sshfs-ed networked or that may result in a corrupted file? | 00:54 |
| Inerg | Ok for my question I want to add a comic to dosage but am unsure of how to do some of the more specific details that dosage needs | 00:54 |
| alleyrat | i can download the file... | 00:54 |
| alleyrat | https://koa.ipac.caltech.edu/cgi-bin/getHIRES/nph-getHIRES?filehand=/koadata1/HIRES/20041105/lev0/HI.20041105.06084.fits | 00:54 |
| alleyrat | fine through the browser, but when i try to fetch it through wget...no dice | 00:55 |
| zopiac | how do i solve an equation i input in OOo Math? | 00:55 |
| Uuu | shady-sheep: I think dd works only locally, but it could work with SSH after mounting with sshfs :) | 00:55 |
| Inerg | alley rat could it be the fact you need to login to access the file | 00:55 |
| Uuu | as you wrote, I noticed, brr | 00:55 |
| Scunizi | zopiac: it doesn't solve as far as I know.. just formats the equations for proper printing | 00:55 |
| zopiac | agh thats completely retarded | 00:56 |
| Scunizi | zopiac: you might ask on #math for program references for linux that will do what you want. | 00:56 |
| zopiac | k | 00:56 |
| alleyrat | ahhh i see what you mean | 00:56 |
| alleyrat | is there anyway i could do a login through wget? | 00:56 |
| Inerg | Im not really sure im just pointing out that you need to login im not that experienced with ubuntu or linux | 00:57 |
| Inerg | sorry | 00:57 |
| miguelonnnn | hey i tried the bang symbol and didn't work | 00:57 |
| alleyrat | you're right inerg | 00:58 |
| miguelonnnn | how can list all files but ones i specify? i mean ls * -one -two | 00:58 |
| miguelonnnn | how can i say that to shell? | 00:58 |
| miguelonnnn | please tell me :S | 00:59 |
| theatro | miguelonnnn, with grep -r | 00:59 |
| miguelonnnn | sry i didn't mean that | 00:59 |
| miguelonnnn | i mean excepting to * wildcard | 00:59 |
| miguelonnnn | for example, cp * -one /destination | 01:00 |
| nkvorn | alleyrat, try curl | 01:00 |
| sartan | Heck, I hate asking such a broad and generic question, but what functionality within Ubuntu pops up "Auto eth14" for example on my gnome desktop? | 01:00 |
| miguelonnnn | or rm -r /folder -important_doc* | 01:00 |
| sartan | I have 14 USB ethernet adapters. I'm renaming them with udev, whatever, but the problem is that whenever they connect they all search for dhcp. I've edited /etc/networks or whichever file to hopefully just have the interfaces come up but do no dhcp. This works fine with ifup, but something on the gui "auto eth14" is causing it to try dhcp | 01:01 |
| JuJuBee | Dr_Willis: yes. not a prob. I only want about 7-8 minutes. | 01:01 |
| sartan | i'm using them mostly for vmware ethernet bridges so they can't have any layer 3 | 01:01 |
| Inuyasha10121 | Hey, is there someone who can help me with booting Ubuntu from an external HDD on a laptop. I need to mess with the GRUB boot so it automaticly boots Vista, unless I have the external drive plugged in and I select it from the boot menu | 01:02 |
| adamonline45 | hello! I'm having a permissions problem. I have 2 users, tom and harry. harry's home directory is "-rwxrwx---" and tom is in group harry. The problem is, I can't copy files, as tom and from tom's directory, into harry's home directory! Any ideas? | 01:03 |
| durt | sartan, aside from networking in the init scripts (what brings up the nics on boot) only network manager should be messing with nic configuration unless you've added something else. | 01:03 |
| adamonline45 | to append, the owner of harry's home directory is harry:harry | 01:03 |
| sartan | durt: Yes, I did work with /etc/network/interfaces myself, durt. | 01:04 |
| sartan | Under network manager I didn't seem to see any way to just have an interface come 'up' without any IP. DHCP Was always required, and without dhcp it required me to put in a static ip. | 01:04 |
| durt | sartan, but did you remove/disable network manager? | 01:04 |
| sartan | I don't think I did anything like that, no | 01:04 |
| adamonline45 | oh, and of course the directory perms are "drwxrwx---" and not "-rwxrwx---" | 01:04 |
| shady-sheep | Anybody here use Qemu? Is it recommended over VirtualBox? I'm going to accomplish a native support of running WinXP3 and few program alongside with Ubuntu apps. I only wanted to know if Oemu is an excellent candidate. | 01:04 |
| histo | Inuyasha10121: what drive is grub loading off of? vista or the external? | 01:05 |
| theatro | adamonline45, heh, I was about to comment on that | 01:05 |
| sartan | I suppose that's my task then, disabling network manager. | 01:05 |
| sartan | /etc/network/interfaces is just far more stable for my purposes. =) | 01:05 |
| durt | sartan, if you're fine with configuring networking by hand, yes. | 01:05 |
| histo | !best | shady-sheep | 01:05 |
| ubottu | shady-sheep: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 01:05 |
| sartan | yes, i'd prefer so. I'm a CCIE after all! | 01:05 |
| adamonline45 | theatro: Yes, I need to break the habit of not looking at what I'm typing about as I type about it :) | 01:05 |
| durt | sartan, too true | 01:05 |
| sartan | (*ducks*) | 01:05 |
| Scunizi | shady-sheep: tried that a couple years ago and didn't like it. It might have changed but I find virtualbox from their site much easier to use. | 01:05 |
| bigfatdave | quick question: Does anybody know how to find out what package pam-auth-update is in? | 01:06 |
| sartan | Thanks for the tip that this is network manager doing this for me. All these user guis on ubuntu can be frustrating. With CentOS my network was just as predictable as my config files dictated | 01:06 |
| histo | bigfatdave: apt-file will tell you | 01:06 |
| burf | when you set a theme up it colors all the windows and applicatinos, is there a way to not color/theme certain sofwtare? | 01:06 |
| wilson | bjkb | 01:06 |
| bigfatdave | apt-file search pam-auth-update comes up empty. | 01:06 |
| histo | !apt-file > bigfatdave | 01:06 |
| ubottu | bigfatdave, please see my private message | 01:06 |
| histo | bigfatdave: let me check one sec | 01:07 |
| shady-sheep | Scunizi: Hmm, I see. Well, I'm aware of VirtualBox and does actively use it occasionally. I'm trying to avoid VirtualBox as the Win-based application require networked and webcam, and probably native supports for IP protocol. | 01:07 |
| nkvorn | adamonline45, set permisions to "drwxrwx-w-" :) | 01:07 |
| bigfatdave | histo: apt-file search pam-auth-update comes up empty. | 01:07 |
| bigfatdave | (I already did the apt-file update.) | 01:07 |
| Scunizi | shady-sheep: usb support is in Vbox if you get the .deb direct from their site.. not the -ose version | 01:07 |
| Uuu | bigfatdave: try packages.ubuntu.com | 01:07 |
| shady-sheep | Scunizi: I'm using something eerily close to OOo webcam conferences. Hmm. You said years ago, it might be nice now. I'll give it a whirl. ;O | 01:08 |
| bigfatdave | Uuu: k, thanks | 01:08 |
| Uuu | ;p | 01:08 |
| Scunizi | shady-sheep: different ip setups are possible.. the docs are extensive.. | 01:08 |
| adamonline45 | nkvorn: well, my concern is that the world can't write to it, but that tom (being in group harry) can write to it... am I missing a fundamental concept? hehe... | 01:08 |
| adamonline45 | nkvorn: Well, that's my intent, i should say | 01:08 |
| Scunizi | shady-sheep: web conferences on web-ex? that's citrix and can be installed in ubuntu | 01:08 |
| streblo | according to netstat, my jaunty server is listening on ports 80 and 8000. i have two servers running (apache and django, respectively), both currently serving. however, i can't access the server on port 8000. can someone point me in the right direction? | 01:08 |
| miguelonnnn | please tell me, how can i make exceptions to wildcard? for example "copy all files (*) except file1.mp3" | 01:09 |
| Scunizi | streblo: from outside the lan? check to make sure that the port is forwarded correctly | 01:09 |
| sartan | durt: Can you tell me where network manager stores its settings? | 01:09 |
| StupidWeasel | Humm, what is the option under compizconfig for touchpad jestures (aka two touch scrolling)? | 01:09 |
| streblo | i'm inside the lan | 01:09 |
| streblo | Scunizi, this is all on our lan | 01:09 |
| Scunizi | streblo: use the ip like this.. http://<ip address>:8000 | 01:10 |
| histo | bigfatdave: I believe its supplied as part of pam | 01:10 |
| histo | bigfatdave: man pam-auth-update provides some info | 01:10 |
| burf | anyone know why i cant change the color of the text inside the window - program name and description etc.. the one that shows on the task bar? thx | 01:10 |
| bigfatdave | histo: That's what I'd think ;-) | 01:11 |
| bigfatdave | libpam-runtime | 01:11 |
| durt | sartan, not of hand, as I always dump it on a new install. | 01:11 |
| bigfatdave | but it's not there on my (fresh 8.04 LTS) system | 01:11 |
| histo | bigfatdave: i'm assuming that to. i'm suprised apt-file doens't find it | 01:11 |
| wfiuewfew | Hi! I usually ssh into my desktop to run processes from my laptop. I need an ssh session which I would continue to run my processors even when my laptop is disconnected. Is this possible and how? | 01:11 |
| Scunizi | streblo: the ip of course will conform to the internal lan ip.. like 192.168.xxx.xxx | 01:11 |
| bigfatdave | I'm looking on packages.ubuntu.com; reporting back as soon as I have something to report :-) | 01:11 |
| sartan | the project documentation on gnome.org is a bit high level too | 01:11 |
| histo | wfiuewfew: using screen you could do that | 01:11 |
| sartan | i'll take your advice and just remove it. | 01:12 |
| StupidWeasel | Humm, what is the option under compizconfig for touchpad gestures (aka two touch scrolling)? I want to disable them as I'm terrible for triggering htem unintentioanlly. | 01:12 |
| wfiuewfew | histo: What is screen | 01:12 |
| Scunizi | wfiuewfew: screen is what you're looking for | 01:12 |
| sebsebseb | !info screen | 01:12 |
| Scunizi | !screen | wfiuewfew | 01:12 |

| ubottu | wfiuewfew: Screen is a window manager for terminal sessions, also useful over SSH. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Screen | 01:12 |
| LaLeche | hi | 01:12 |
| histo | wfiuewfew: its a program for doing exactly what you want | 01:12 |
| histo | wfiuewfew: see the link from ubottu | 01:12 |
| wfiuewfew | Thanks! | 01:12 |
| LaLeche | any idea why ImageTTFBox returns "function doesn't exist" when GD and ImageMagick have been installed? | 01:13 |
| bigfatdave | okay | 01:13 |
| bigfatdave | my bad | 01:13 |
| bigfatdave | I was looking on jaunty, rather than heron. | 01:13 |
| bigfatdave | On heron, there's no such animal. | 01:13 |

| Uuu | Hm, I have 8.04 LTS for a year, and while installing/removing packages, "reading the database" takes quite much time. I don't have many non-standard repositories...Is it only a problem of my old computer of it really can go slow down over time? | 01:15 |
| pacopil | juego de boxeo online http://www.kobox.org/kobox-fande-Nourine.html | 01:15 |
| Uuu | however, I plan to upgrade to KK in 2 months maybe ;) | 01:15 |

| linux | !ext4 | 01:16 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ext4 | 01:16 |
| kyle__ | hey anyone want to help me install some bullshit i got with my printer | 01:16 |
| sebsebseb | !language | kyle__ | 01:16 |
| ubottu | kyle__: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 01:16 |
| sebsebseb | kyle__: you mean a Windows driver? | 01:16 |
| histo | Uuu: when it reads the database i believe its either checking the list of installed packages or its downloading updates from the package mirrors for the list. | 01:16 |
| kyle__ | i dont know man. Does is not work in ubuntu | 01:16 |
| sebsebseb | Uuu: yeah Ext4 is the default file system for Karmic, rather fast boot up :) | 01:16 |
| histo | !printer | kyle | 01:17 |
| ubottu | kyle: Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows | 01:17 |
| sebsebseb | kyle__: yep Windows printer drivers won't work in other operating systems | 01:17 |

| bigfatdave | Uuu: Can I ask you for a quick favor, when you get a minute free? | 01:17 |
| sebsebseb | kyle__: or in most other OS's they won't | 01:17 |
| sebsebseb | linux: you don't | 01:17 |
| wfiuewfew | Hi---does Ubuntu server come preconfigured with a firewall, or do I need to install one | 01:17 |
| sebsebseb | linux: I don't think you can even | 01:17 |
| kyle__ | so is there a ubuntu program i can get that will let my cannon printer function to its full potiental | 01:17 |
| sebsebseb | linux: since need later partition making tools and kernel | 01:17 |
| histo | linux: I believe you'd have to install a custom kernel. | 01:18 |
| linux | sebsebseb: histo: i have a usb with ext4, how can i read it in ubuntu 8.04? | 01:18 |
| burf | is there a command i can run to get the name of and model of my graphics card in linux terminal? | 01:18 |
| histo | kyle__: you should be able to with cups as ubottu suggested | 01:18 |
| mostafa__ | linux: hi bro R U there? | 01:18 |
| sebsebseb | linux: it does not have suppourt built in in 8.04 for Ext4 | 01:18 |
| bigfatdave | Uuu: packages.ubuntu.com says that pam-auth-update doesn't exist on heron. | 01:18 |
| Uuu | histo: Thanks. I would like to try ext4 etc. and it will make me do something like 'format c:', yeah :) | 01:18 |
| histo | kyle__: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers | 01:18 |
| kyle__ | alright thanks ill check that out | 01:18 |
| streblo | crap, the guy who was helping me left | 01:18 |
| sebsebseb | !langauge | streblo | 01:18 |
| ubottu | streblo: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 01:18 |
| Uuu | bigfatdave: how can I help? | 01:19 |
| streblo | oops, sorry | 01:19 |
| StupidWeasel | Heh, easily done streblo ;3 | 01:19 |
| Uuu | bigfatdave: nick you have Hardy, it's a great version ;) | 01:19 |
| bigfatdave | Uuu: I was just hoping for you to verify that apt-file comes up empty for you, too ;-) | 01:19 |
| histo | bigfatdave: because it doesn't its provided inside of something else | 01:19 |
| bucky | burf, lspci |grep VGA | 01:19 |
| linux | sebsebseb: ok, darn, i know you can install it in older versions of debian, darn | 01:19 |
| streblo | StupidWeasel, what's that? | 01:19 |
| bigfatdave | Uuu: hardy? | 01:19 |
| StupidWeasel | Letting the occasional blue word slip. | 01:19 |
| sebsebseb | linux: oh wel in that case, you probably can somehow in Ubuntu as well, but it woudn't be recommended or suppourted here and all that | 01:19 |
| Uuu | bigfatdave: yes, Hardy Heron. | 01:19 |
| bigfatdave | This whole naming thing starts to get really confusing, after a while ;-) | 01:20 |
| Uuu | I have. | 01:20 |
| Flannel | linux: You'd have to compile your own kernel to support it | 01:20 |
| bigfatdave | 8.04 LTS, whatever it's called ;-) | 01:20 |
| linux | Flannel: sebsebseb: i'll try a #ext4, maybe that exists | 01:20 |
| Flannel | bigfatdave: It's 8.04, don't worry about the other names | 01:20 |
| sebsebseb | linux: I doubt it | 01:20 |
| bigfatdave | (In Slackware, everything's just numbered - makes life really easy.) | 01:20 |
| Uuu | bigfatdave: wait a moment... | 01:20 |
| mostafa__ | linux: I made a bootable USB flash then what should I do? | 01:20 |
| Uuu | Ubuntu is numbered too! :) | 01:20 |
| bigfatdave | Uuu: NP ... standing by | 01:20 |
| craigbass1976 | Anyone want to give me a hand with a monitor? Things are very tall, and I can't see the top or bottom of the screen to get at the menu bars | 01:21 |
| Flannel | bigfatdave: Ubuntu is numbered by year.month, so 8.04, 8.10, 9.04, 9.10 (when it comes out) etc | 01:21 |
| linux | mostafa__: ok, then you should move the usb from the desktop to the laptop and reboot the laptop | 01:21 |
| craigbass1976 | The monitor is also running at the least amount of verticle "squish" | 01:21 |
| bigfatdave | Uuu: right, but good luck using packages.ubuntu.com, without knowing the right name ;-) | 01:21 |
| linux | mostafa__: then it should run you through the installation on the laptop without the cd drive | 01:21 |
| Uuu | bigfatdave: pam_auth_update should be a file, and you're looking for a package it is it, right? | 01:21 |
| sebsebseb | linux: 9.04 has Ext4 as an optional file system, and Karmic which is in development uses it by default :) | 01:21 |
| bigfatdave | Uuu: exactly | 01:21 |
| ender | I am having the strangest problems I cannot empty my trashcan and I cannot run searches online | 01:22 |
| kyle__ | where do i find the cups printing program once i have it installed | 01:22 |
| sebsebseb | Flannel: so custom kernels and all that, are suppourted here? | 01:22 |
| bigfatdave | Flannel: Thanks for shedding a bit of light on the funny numbering system :-) | 01:22 |
| mostafa__ | linux: what did you mean by that? you mean I install ubuntu? | 01:22 |
| Flannel | sebsebseb: What? I simply said if he wanted to do that, he'd have to compile his own kernel. No, they're not supported. | 01:22 |
| fabien_ | salut | 01:23 |
| linux | mostafa__: yes, you wanted to install ubuntu on that laptop, right? | 01:23 |
| sebsebseb | Flannel: yep that's what I thought not supported | 01:23 |
| fabien_ | sa pu ubuntu | 01:23 |
| IdleOne | fabien_: ? | 01:23 |
| craigbass1976 | BTW, hit Ctrl+Alt+F2 to get into a terminal,and things look fine. When I try to reconfigure x, all I get asked about is keyboard layout; no mention of mouse or monitor | 01:23 |
| sebsebseb | linux: yeah if you install your own kernel, that isn't a ppa, your basically your on your own | 01:23 |
| Uuu | Verified on p.u.com by myself... unlikely apt-file will find it, but i'm installing it right now. | 01:24 |
| burf | runing compiz on my terminal makes my system crash | 01:24 |
| mostafa__ | linux: unfortunately nope :( I said my DVD ROM doesn't work when I want to boot ubuntu | 01:24 |
| linux | sebsebseb: ok, thanks for the idea | 01:24 |
| burf | then i have to log off and back in | 01:24 |
| fabien_ | c pouri c super pour instal des truc | 01:24 |
| mostafa__ | linux: when I want to install ubuntu it is correct | 01:24 |
| bigfatdave | Uuu: aimed at me? | 01:24 |
| burf | bucy, sorry what was the command again to get detais on graphics card make and model etc.. | 01:24 |
| bucky | burf, lspci |grep VGA | 01:24 |
| linux | mostafa__: it should boot from the USB, esp. since your laptop is 2 months old, did you try the place the usb flash in the laptop and reboot and it should reboot to the installation? | 01:24 |
| burf | is ther no device manager in ubuntu | 01:24 |
| burf | thx man | 01:24 |
| Uuu | bigfatdave: oh, yes :) | 01:24 |
| bigfatdave | Uuu: LOL, thanks ... so you're also not showing pam-auth-update as existing on 8.04 ... just making sure I'm not insane | 01:25 |
| histo | burf: lspci | grep VGA | 01:25 |
| mostafa__ | linux: yes it boots as well but again it does not have DVD ROM support | 01:26 |
| Uuu | bigfatdave: no, I'm waiting for apt-file to finish installing and updating the cache! ;] | 01:26 |
| histo | burf: what type of video card do you have? | 01:26 |
| Lappy | I got a question | 01:26 |
| linux | mostafa__: oh, with that i don't think i can help, state the make and model here so others specifically knowledgable in that field can help; i have to head out mostafa__; ttyl | 01:26 |
| sebsebseb | !ask | Lappy | 01:26 |
| ubottu | Lappy: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 01:26 |
| Lappy | Should I stick with Ubuntu or go to windows? | 01:27 |
| uberspaced | anybody know where I can find information about how to transcode a video file so I can play it in flash? | 01:27 |
| kyle__ | i just installed CUPS printing program, but i can not find it | 01:27 |
| === rickspencer3 is now known as rickspencer3-afk | ||
| sebsebseb | Lappy: depends on what you want to use your computer for, and what kind of user you are | 01:27 |
| bjorkintosh | what comes after ubuntu 9.04? | 01:27 |
| xcdfgkjhgcv | Is it possible to autologin to my Pidgin or Empathy MSNP and Yahoo accounts, without entering a password, without leaving passwords on the disk, in plain text? I'm just a bit concerned about the security of my passwords with using IM clients such as Pidgin or Empathy. | 01:27 |

| bjorkintosh | aha! | 01:27 |
| burf | appently its an SIS 661/741/760 OR 662/761GX VGA - i am having problems enabling any effects - even simple ones - i dont think its set up correctly - wondering if i can download a driver for it or somthing? | 01:27 |
| histo | mostafa__: what are you trying to do? install ubuntu or boot off of the usb? | 01:27 |
| bjorkintosh | it's time to upgrade. what happens when they get to zippy zebra? | 01:28 |
| Uuu | bigfatdave: Nothing found. This file is not present in Hardy in any package, it seems. (But it's present in some newer Ubuntu version.) | 01:28 |
| Lappy | Okay, I also got another question. I got Art Manager from the Add/Remove program, but I can't find it, where is it? | 01:28 |
| burf | its an old on board VGA but i also tried with a ATI 128 RAGE Pro - also old but should have no problems with the simple effects, it would at least be slow rather than not enable at al | 01:28 |
| mostafa__ | histo: as a matter of fact this is the story : | 01:28 |
| xcdfgkjhgcv | bjorkintosh: Nobody knows. | 01:28 |
| xcdfgkjhgcv | bjorkintosh: Personally, I think we'll start from A. | 01:28 |
| sebsebseb | bjorkintosh: no the animal names haven't all been in alphabetical order | 01:28 |
| bjorkintosh | oh. | 01:28 |
| burf | so theres no device manager GUI in ubuntu? | 01:29 |
| bigfatdave | Uuu: so if I want to configure PAM easily, I need to update to 9.something? | 01:29 |

| mostafa__ | histo: have any DVD ROM support | 01:29 |
| sebsebseb | IdleOne: oh? | 01:30 |
| histo | mostafa__: after you install it and boot your dvd drive no longer works? | 01:30 |
| IdleOne | sebsebseb: there is an article by Mark Shuttleworth explaining it. look it up for historical sake :) | 01:30 |
| sebsebseb | IdleOne: oh right | 01:30 |
| sebsebseb | IdleOne: or find me a link? :D | 01:31 |

| bigfatdave | Uuu: At any rate, thanks a ton for your help; you just made my last half hour's-worth of research pay off :-) | 01:31 |
| IdleOne | sebsebseb: yeah I could do that.... | 01:31 |
| Uuu | bigfatdave: i wasn't so sure :) it depends on what you want to do. In hardy it seems it should be done some other way - maybe not hardy'er? :D I don't know PAM much, but I suggest to search how to do it,. maybe someone uses Hardy too ;] | 01:31 |
| sebsebseb | IdleOne: ok sure | 01:31 |
| sebsebseb | :) | 01:31 |
| mostafa__ | histo: and of course after the Grub Menu | 01:31 |
| bigfatdave | Uuu: Sure thing; thanks a ton, again :-) | 01:31 |
| Uuu | bigfatdave: nice to hear, and good luck :) | 01:31 |
| histo | mostafa__: what are you trying to do with the dvd drive that doesn't work? Just reading discs? playing movies? | 01:31 |
| Lappy | I have one more question, some app packages don't show up anywhere? How can I find/run them? | 01:31 |

| mostafa__ | histo: yep like others I want to play ,.... | 01:32 |
| histo | burf: it is if your video is working I believe those cards use software rendering though. So you may not be able to run compiz. | 01:32 |
| sebsebseb | novato_br: windows-linux? | 01:32 |
| novato_br | virtualbox | 01:33 |
| histo | burf: you may want to check on the forums and search for your card. Perhaps someone will have the same make model and similiar issues | 01:33 |
| novato_br | windows is runing under linux on virtualbox | 01:33 |
| sebsebseb | novato_br: yes you can share printers with virtual machines, don't know how though. Virtualbox manual from the website is good and there's also #vbox | 01:33 |
| histo | mostafa__: so movies aren't playing? | 01:33 |
| burf | i am right now histo - thx - but someone mentions i should check if the SIS driver is installed, being used and not the VESA driver? | 01:33 |
| histo | novato_br: you should be able to. | 01:33 |

| peepsalot | what is the difference between upgradeing a few packages and a "partial upgrade" | 01:35 |
| craigbass1976 | aj_444, I've already played with the monitor. I read somewhere that the dpgk reconfogure xserver doesn't wrk in anything newer than hardy. Waht's the equivalent? | 01:35 |
| sebsebseb | peepsalot: sometimes not all packages for whatever reason/s can be installed, but then it says you can do a partial upgrade | 01:36 |
| sebsebseb | peepsalot: and so you do that | 01:36 |
| mostafa__ | histo: no I bought a laptop with my friend and both of us have the same issue on this | 01:36 |
| sebsebseb | peepsalot: then the updates will just take care of them self later on, when you do another update, or something like that | 01:36 |
| streblo | is there a reason that would be happening? that a port would be open only to localhost and not to a lan? | 01:36 |

| burf | ADVICE: Look For: "xserver-xorg-video-sis" and "displayconfig-gtk" (this is "System->Administration->Screens and Graphics"). If the displayconfig-gtk is missing I would install it and try to use the Graphical Method once more. I can't think of why it wouldn't be installed by default though. - xserver-xorg-video-sis is instaled but i have marked for reinstall and i cant find displayconfig-gtk t | 01:38 |
| burf | o reinstall it, any ideas? thx | 01:38 |
| bucky | burf, can you run sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg and when it asks you which driver say sis ? | 01:38 |

| aj_444 | craigbass1976: You could probably run it through the terminal.. but I'm not the guy to ask about that. | 01:38 |

| _2 | histo waste a cat why don't you ... | 01:53 |
| histo | bucky: he may be able to see what driver is being loaded in /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 01:53 |

| Wicked | sebastien, i am well aware of this...but im used to it..and i like it...but like i said. he has never used linux and was willing to give it a try...i have a feeling he is not gonna like being asked a passowrd each time he tries to do soemthing... | 01:54 |
| Wicked | sebastien, i have auto logon setup. | 01:54 |
| burf | yeah thats what i said i did a gedit and its been reset - no mention of sis | 01:54 |
| bucky | burf, good.. that means you have told xorg to use sis.. now if you can't tell it to with dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg then you might have to edit the file by hand to show Driver "sis" and restart X | 01:55 |
| Wicked | but the user still has a password...and it still needs to be entered each time there are updates or each time he wants to shut the computer off | 01:55 |

| burf | il do that now - brb - thx | 02:01 |
| _Brun0_ | histo, yea its very strange. i'll try unistalling samba. should I apt-get remove samba smbfs ? | 02:01 |
| histo | _Brun0_: or just /etc/init.d/samba stop | 02:02 |

Bios only sees the one raid5 drive now.. When I run the 8.04lts installer, it seed each of the 3 individual disks and not the raided pair. Anyone have any ideas??? | 02:19 |

| strebloo | I have a feeling i'm not setting up my iptables correctly | 02:55 |
| thiebaude | they still haven't fixed my bug | 02:55 |
| thiebaude | ok let me try | 02:55 |
| sebsebseb | thiebaude: the Intel stuff | 02:55 |
| sebsebseb | thiebaude: is fixed in Karmic | 02:55 |
| thiebaude | yep | 02:55 |
| strebloo | Dr_Willis, thoughts? | 02:55 |
| thiebaude | 9yr old computer | 02:55 |
| Dr_Willis | strebloo: remove all iptables rules.. so its all open.. see if it can connect.. if it still cant. then that service may have some security settings | 02:55 |
| craigbass1976 | Dr_Willis, but when it's NOT automatic, what happened to stuff that used to be in xorg.conf | 02:55 |
| Dr_Willis | craigbass1976: its all handles by HAL or somthing I recall. | 02:56 |
| sebsebseb | thiebaude: well the common one for 9.04 | 02:56 |
| craigbass1976 | GAH! | 02:56 |
| Dr_Willis | craigbass1976: if its intell video.. see that !intel guide. | 02:56 |
| blacksheep | hi | 02:57 |
| Twink | Dr_Willis: Just for the record... the answer is svsv-rc-conf. Thank you for the help ;) | 02:57 |
| craigbass1976 | Dr_Willis, it did work fine on a flat panel lcd monitor... I know because that's what I set it up on; then it went home with her and... well, no love in the monitor Dept. | 02:57 |

| pragma_ | Instead of having to click on the "Show Details" button each time such a dialog pops up? | 02:59 |
| burf | although you cant point add/remove to a 3rd party install on the desktop, or synaptic? | 03:00 |
| strebloo | Dr_Willis, this didn't seem to work | 03:01 |
| Dr_Willis | Twink: thers proberly 5+ tools that can do it :) | 03:01 |
| Dr_Willis | strebloo: if sudo iptables --list shows no rules.. and the machine can ping other machines, or other servies work.. its got to be the service security is my logic | 03:02 |

| pragma_ | by the way, why is Ubuntu always asking me to restart my system after I've installed something? | 03:06 |
| * pragma_ peers around suspiciously. | 03:06 | |
| IdleOne | pragma_: installed what? | 03:06 |
| sebsebseb | pragma_: it should only ask to restart after major updates, for example a new kernel | 03:06 |
| Phase | I'm using OSMO from the repository for a Calender / personal organizer program. What would be a good command to set in its "Alarm command" setting to visually alert me? Think something like xmessage but a bit more noticable. | 03:06 |
| thiebaude | sebsebseb: do you mean recovery mode from the live cd? | 03:07 |
| sebsebseb | thiebaude: no from the Grub boot loader | 03:07 |
| burf | nope - i cant seem to get add.remove or synaptic to install this komodo-edit i downloaded from their site, theres no way in pointing to the install file, add/remove and synaptic only seem to search teh channels for sofwtare, how do i install a program i have downloaded to my desktop? | 03:07 |

| fryfrog | Does anyone have any experience trouble shooting linux software raid arrays? The array is fine, but it won't auto-assemble at boot.

| crpoiy | Hi there. I have a quick question. I posted this on the forums but thought I'd ask here as well. I have a desktop machine running Ubuntu Feisty Fawn. I currently use my Blackberry Curve as a modem on my laptop, and want to do this on the desktop as well. The desktop does not currently have an internet connection. I have a bluetooth dongle installed, and it's there if I run lsusb, but there's... | 03:10 |
| crpoiy | ...no icon and was no popup or anything. 'sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth start' starts bluetooth services up fine, 'hcitool search' finds all bluetooth devices around, and sudo hcitool cc mac-of-blackberry tries to connect to my blackberry, but can't authenticate? I have tried the default '1234' passcode, no luck. There is no Bluetooth item in System > Preferences, and no Bluetooth option when I... | 03:10 |
| fryfrog | nothing wrong with that. | 03:10 |
| crpoiy | ...right click Applications and click Edit Menu, and no Bluetooth icon near the clock. I see that other solutions to this problem were to download Bluez, or this or that. But bluez is already installed, correct? I could download packages and things on my laptop, and put them on a CD to bring over to my desktop, but I don't know what I should download. | 03:10 |
| FloodBot2 | crpoiy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 03:10 |
| burf | how do i install a downloaded program from my desktop?? | 03:10 |
| sebsebseb | thiebaude: there should be an option for recovery mode on it | 03:10 |
| thiebaude | ok, i'll try that | 03:10 |
| burf | i cant pint to the install files using the package managers | 03:10 |
| burf | whats the other option? | 03:10 |
| crpoiy | I got a notification from FloodBot2, sorry. Did my question still go through, though? | 03:12 |
| bboru | has anyone successfully tethered their motorola phone to ubuntu to be used as a modem? | 03:12 |
| sebsebseb | crpoiy: looks like it | 03:13 |
| rodimus | bboru n.. | 03:13 |
| CoJaBo-Aztec | bboru: mine doesnt even let me charge from computer o_O | 03:13 |
| albech | can anyone direct my to a page with information on installing opera10?? reps etc | 03:13 |
| sebsebseb | crpoiy: a big paragraph yeah | 03:13 |
| crpoiy | Well, I've made it work in Mac and Windows, even though it's not supposed to be able to work with my provider. So I thought Ubuntu wouldn't be much of a stretch? | 03:14 |
| crpoiy | Yeah, sorry about that. I blew it. | 03:14 |
| sebsebseb | crpoiy: I don't do your kind of issue | 03:14 |
| bboru | blows. thanks. | 03:15 |
| burf | oh burf you can use an install.sh file if the package has one | 03:15 |
| AnNahar | when i was in here earlier | 03:15 |
| AnNahar | someone tested a webcam app for me | 03:15 |
| AnNahar | http://www.facebook.com/swf/fvr.swf | 03:15 |
| crpoiy | sebsebseb: no? | 03:15 |
| AnNahar | can someone tell me if that works for them and if so, waht version of flash? | 03:15 |
| sebsebseb | cryptopsy: yep no | 03:16 |
| crpoiy | Blows. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I've been scouring google for a few days now. I'm confident I could get it set up if I could get passed this passkey shiz. | 03:17 |
| bboru | can you encrypt an entire disk using truecrypt, like you can in windows? i grabbed the latest and its identical to the windows version except its missing the option to encrypt the entire disk. | 03:17 |
| sebsebseb | bboru: not sure about that, but with the alternate CD you can encrypt a partition or the whole of a hard disk | 03:18 |
| sebsebseb | bboru: well as long as it's just Linux partitions on the hard disk or whatever for the whole hard disk | 03:18 |
| shady-sheep | Can I force-start a crontab? | 03:18 |
| victori | how do you sort by res in top? | 03:18 |
| bboru | sebsebseb: alternate cd? | 03:18 |
| sebsebseb | bboru: and then if you forget the password for the ecnrypted stuff, well good luck to you | 03:18 |
| sebsebseb | bboru: basically you have had it then, or you have had it | 03:19 |
| sebsebseb | !alternate | bboru | 03:19 |
| ubottu | bboru: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the link on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal | 03:19 |
| shady-sheep | bboru: Yes you can encrypt linux system with TrueCrypt -- however it's recommended that you stick with cryptsetup as it's linux native. It's what most people using linux uses. :> | 03:19 |
| thiebaude | sebsebseb: i'll re-boot to see if it works | 03:19 |
| sebsebseb | thiebaude: ok | 03:19 |
| thiebaude | thanks for the help | 03:20 |
| sebsebseb | thiebaude: no probs | 03:20 |
| bboru | cool. i'll look into these possibilities thanks guys | 03:20 |
| Leverage | Alright, here's the skinny. My room mate refuses to get rid of vista and everytime that laptop connects to the internet (even wired) it kicks myself (running the latest ubuntu) and the desktop (running win98) off. any ideas? | 03:20 |
| crpoiy | Leverage: IP? | 03:20 |
| Leverage | they're all open | 03:21 |
| sebsebseb | Leverage: as a kind of joke, malware that takes over the Internet connection :D, and being serious, I don't know | 03:21 |
| shane2peru | grub question: I have 2 hdd, I installed Suse on second drive, it overwrote my grub, and when I tried to boot into Ubuntu (Suse recognized it and put it in the list) it wouldn't boot. I booted into Ubuntu with the supergrubdisk and re-installed grub (I think) so theoretically Ubuntu is back in control of grub??? | 03:21 |
| Leverage | i believe in microsoft made malware | 03:22 |
| fryfrog | shane2peru: you are always in control of grub, not the distro | 03:22 |
| Leverage | If N1H1 was engineered, anything is possible | 03:22 |
| sebsebseb | Leverage: I don't know what that is | 03:22 |
| fryfrog | shane2peru: of course, what ever distro you boot up is going to use its package managment system and update grub in the manner it sees as correct | 03:23 |
| shane2peru | fryfrog: so now if I edit the Ubuntu menu.lst correctly I should be able to boot into Suse too? correct? | 03:23 |

| sebsebseb | Pici: how come they got kicked? | 03:24 |
| shane2peru | fryfrog: sometimes I don't feel in control of grub! :) | 03:24 |
| Pici | sebsebseb: Because they've been asked to remove that away message at least two times before. | 03:25 |
| sebsebseb | Pici: oh it's something offensive in another language? | 03:25 |
| Pici | !away | 03:25 |
| ubottu | You should avoid noisy away messages in a busy channel like #ubuntu, or other Ubuntu channels; it causes excessive scrolling which is unfair to new users. Use the command "/away <reason>" to set your client away silently. See also «/msg ubottu Guidelines» | 03:25 |
| fryfrog | shane2peru: i imagine so, but getting grub right can sometimes be fun. | 03:25 |

| nztal | crpoiy, if you have not sudo apt-get clean or purge then those files should reside somewhere on your hard drive. i'd upset sudo updatedb and sudo locate to find the package, it'll find the directory they are all stored in | 03:32 |
| crpoiy | Alright, I'll try that. Thanks. | 03:33 |

| rkvirani | so kubuntu-desktop is out | 03:43 |
| rkvirani | ppa is different from a metapackage. | 03:43 |
| rojoloco47 | its remote-exploit is any Channel or Server in Xchat ? | 03:43 |
| sebsebseb | rkvirani: kubuntu-desktop will install 4.2, but you can install a ppa | 03:43 |
| deviant-route | channel | 03:43 |
| rkvirani | where might I find the ppa? | 03:43 |
| sebsebseb | rkvirani: for 4.3 | 03:43 |
| sebsebseb | rkvirani: it will be on launchpad probably, but you can Google for it | 03:44 |
| rkvirani | sebsebseb: ok where can I get the urls for the ppa, ok I will google, do I have to install kubuntu? | 03:44 |
| rojoloco47 | 1 more time to disturb you ,tell me how can I go to that Channel ? | 03:44 |
| sebsebseb | rkvirani: hmm that's a point are all the ppa's on launchpad | 03:44 |

| sebsebseb | rkvirani: well 4.2 or 4.3 it doesn't matter that much which one you try | 03:45 |

| sebsebseb | rkvirani: KDE 3 is nice to try even, there's a repo that can be added for it, and there's a remix CD, sadly KDE 3 is on the verge of dieing | 03:46 |

| sebsebseb | rkvirani: I would rather use KDE 3 as my GUI than KDE 4, but apps have got better in KDE 4, and well most KDE apps can run in Gnome anyway so :) | 03:46 |
| deviant-route | @rojoloco47 what irc client you using | 03:46 |
| rojoloco47 | xchat | 03:46 |

| mechdave | test34, usually you can make a boot up script to add paths to the system as it boots | 03:49 |
| rkvirani | I might just try it in my current install | 03:49 |
| deviant-route | give me a sec | 03:49 |

| deitarion | Recently, I've taken to switching as many apps as possible to OSS output and then avoiding the ones that only offer ALSA/Pulse. | 03:52 |
| deitarion | (It cuts my audio-related CPU usage in half) | 03:52 |
| eon01 | mechdave, they are Html charset , take a look at http://www.entitycode.com/ , you'll undrestand | 03:52 |
| sebsebseb | RPG_Master: permissions to a java applet to run? I think they normalley just run | 03:52 |
| burf | oh it themes the main google search and radio buttons too | 03:52 |
| burf | thats gotta be css surely? | 03:53 |
| RPG_Master | sebsebseb, In Firefox | 03:53 |
| sebsebseb | RPG_Master: sun java jre instaled and then Java should just work | 03:53 |
| deitarion | sebsebseb: I think he's asking about how to bypass the "This applet wants to muck about in your local system. Allow?" dialogs. | 03:53 |
| burf | means i cant color my window backgrounds without coloring FF | 03:53 |
| RPG_Master | deitarion, Yes! | 03:53 |
| sebsebseb | burf: I am probably about the only one if not the only one, who has actsaully been following everything or nearly everything, that you have put | 03:54 |
| furythor | Hello. | 03:54 |
| rojoloco47 | Thanks | 03:54 |
| furythor | How I do make wine applications trusted in 9.04 ? | 03:54 |
| sebsebseb | burf: ,but not taking it all in, as a result you might want to repeate your issue, and in one go | 03:54 |
| sebsebseb | burf: not using enter between things | 03:54 |
| deitarion | RPG_Master: I'd probably know if I actually used Java, but I can't help you. (I've got Java for a handful of apps like RelaxNG but I run 64-bit Firefox and, last I checked, the plugin was 32-bit only) | 03:55 |
| sebsebseb | burf: and then someone else can hopefuly assist you | 03:55 |
| burf | sorry seb i havnt seen any responses mate im using chatzilla so every time i change something in FF i have to restart and ose this window | 03:55 |
| deviant-route | @rojoloco47 just do the same thing you did to get here, but use #remote-exploit instead | 03:55 |
| mechdave | eon01, Oh I understand now... Sorry I don't know of anything like that for gedit, maybe a html editor might be the go. | 03:55 |
| test34 | sebsebseb: don't do as you do, do as you say | 03:55 |
| test34 | right? no enter? | 03:55 |
| sebsebseb | test34: what? | 03:55 |
| burf | dont matter anyway - just disappointed cos it cuts teh whole idea of theming out | 03:55 |
| eon01 | ok mechdave thanks any way ;) | 03:56 |
| sebsebseb | test34: well try and not use loads of enter is what I meant | 03:56 |
| RPG_Master | deitarion, I am using 64-bit Firefox... But it works I just have to give stuff permission | 03:56 |
| test34 | sebsebseb: try to not use enter that many times | 03:56 |
| mechdave | test34, have you tried carefully placing it in /etc/profile (I know it is possibly the wrong spot) | 03:56 |
| sebsebseb | !enter | burf test34 | 03:56 |
| ubottu | burf test34: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 03:56 |
| mechdave | eon01, Hang about, have a look at this site --> http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8150 | 03:57 |
| test34 | sebsebseb: please keep your answers on one line;) | 03:57 |
| sattam | hi , could any one make hard or symbolic link on FAT32 partitions ? | 03:57 |
| burf | ok how many times | 03:57 |
| sebsebseb | burf: people don't usaully reply to your actsaul issue, unless they think they can solve it | 03:57 |
| burf | heard u the first time | 03:57 |
| deitarion | RPG_Master: Since you're on Ubuntu, you're probably running the 32-bit plugin via NSPluginWrapper. I avoid that on this box (Gentoo). (My *buntu box is an old 2Ghz Celeron where I'm still trying to figure out how to kill PulseAudio) | 03:57 |

| Tonya | question: I tried using terminal once, and now I can't find it again. help? | 03:57 |
| test34 | mechdave: I would like to set it for just one user, because the path I like to add to the PATH is in the user's home directory | 03:57 |
| sebsebseb | test34: I think your trolling a tiny bit | 03:58 |
| CppIsWeird | is there a way to supress find's listing of everywhere it searches and just display the search results? | 03:58 |
| StupidWeasel | Tonya: Applications > Accessories > Terminal. | 03:58 |
| furythor | Can those AMD live, powernow what ever things that are turn on from BIOS effect so that wine does not understand CPU speed correctly ? | 03:58 |
| sattam | Tonya: press ALT+F2 , the type : gnome-terminal | 03:58 |
| Tonya | Terminal is not listed, it is GONE! | 03:58 |
| sebsebseb | furythor: what's interesting? | 03:58 |
| StupidWeasel | Or so as Sattam says :) | 03:58 |
| JamesB192 | sattam not with the currently supported FAT modules I think. check out umsdos or ask someone else. | 03:58 |
| test34 | sebsebseb: it's just funny how you tell someone to not use enter so many times and you say that on 6 different lines | 03:58 |
| burf | ha | 03:59 |
| furythor | I run some tests with BIOS settings to see if my issue gets solved | 03:59 |
| burf | !enter | sebsebseb | 03:59 |
| ubottu | sebsebseb: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 03:59 |
| sebsebseb | test34: ah well, I like using enter :) | 03:59 |
| Tonya | ALT+F2 does not open terminal for me either | 03:59 |
| sattam | JamesB192: thanks , i will try it | 03:59 |
| kingjames | need help for a sec | 03:59 |
| sebsebseb | burf: heh ok | 04:00 |
| VinceN | Testing 123 | 04:00 |
| deviant-route | @Tonya is there any chance you accidentaly removed it? | 04:00 |
| mechdave | test34, if you put it in .bash_profile it should run on login I believe | 04:00 |
| kingjames | need help with install | 04:00 |
| Tonya | anything is possible. I tried using it, but it wouldn't take my password. I exited it, and it was gone. | 04:00 |
| sebsebseb | test34: however it's good for burf or anyone else, to keep their issue rather together, when asking the question and that | 04:01 |
| test34 | mechdave: I tried that, then logged out and logged back in and the binary still couldn't be found | 04:01 |
| sebsebseb | test34: since makes it easier for helpers to read | 04:01 |

| StupidWeasel | Humm, I currently keep the bulk of my music collection on a usb harddisc. The problem with that is that, when the usb harddisc is not attached, rhythmbox freezes up checking the existance of each file in the library (we're talking about 200gb+ of music here). Is there any way I can stop it doing this? Or speed up the process? | 04:03 |
| wfiuewfew | bruenig: no other way? Such a switch | 04:03 |
| kingjames | my bad haha | 04:03 |
| bruenig | kingjames: could you repeat that, I didn't read it | 04:03 |
| JamesB192 | wfiuewfew: yeah, I think the -c flag might do that. pipes it to the console but you can work around that. | 04:03 |

| crdlb | Phase: zenity is the gnome version; it's not that flexible, but it has a lot of widgets | 04:07 |
| mechdave | kingjames, The type of install you are interested in is the standard graphic install.. look at --> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GraphicalInstall | 04:07 |
| sebsebseb | kingjames: ok how are you trying to install? manual partition or something? | 04:08 |
| Phase | crdlb, I'll look into it, thanks :) | 04:08 |

| sebsebseb | kingjames: why> | 04:09 |
| sebsebseb | ? | 04:09 |
| sebsebseb | kingjames: normalley brand new users, will use guided install | 04:09 |
| kingjames | okay. lemme try. | 04:09 |
| thomas_ | shouldn't the mount point be "/" and not "/root"? | 04:09 |
| irfan_ | i want to install it into ubuntu | 04:09 |
| sebsebseb | kingjames: the graphical install yeah, which mechdave gave a link about | 04:10 |
| test34 | mechdave: ok let me try that | 04:10 |
| irfan_ | but here is written for XP | 04:10 |
| kingjames | sebsebseb: i wana put it in a certain destination though | 04:10 |
| sebsebseb | kingjames: by the way if you still have the ISO good idea to check it, to make sure you got a good download | 04:10 |
| b-f | eon01: gedit is probably ascii-only, while many html charachters are not. Besides, html is written in ascii. gedit is not a html parser. | 04:10 |
| sebsebseb | !md5sum | kingjames | 04:10 |
| ubottu | kingjames: To verify the integrity of a download, use the md5sum - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM for more | 04:10 |
| JamesB192 | StupidWeasel: I might try having two libraries, one without the external drive and one with, and writing a script to have the right library in place. wouldn't work too great if you (un)plugged while rhythmbox is running. | 04:11 |

| dody_keren | d | 04:17 |
| kingjames | it'll open, then close.. | 04:17 |

| furythor | How I do make some applications trusted that are run with wine ? | 04:18 |
| sebsebseb | mechdave: well if he applys | 04:18 |

| KitsunePC | Hi | 04:24 |
| Tonya | deviante-route: I have installed what you said, now what? I put in a dvd and try to play, and the player opens, then closes right away without doing anything | 04:24 |
| gigiozzi | however they do not seem to be triggered by system events | 04:24 |
| KitsunePC | I've got a problem... | 04:24 |
| KitsunePC | I can't resize my Windows Vista partition so I can install Ubuntu | 04:24 |
| t0s | how do i restart x | 04:24 |
| sebsebseb | kingjames: gparted shodun't just close on you, and looks like you have gone away | 04:25 |
| unop | t0s, sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart | 04:25 |
| nimrod | grub seems like a stronger bootloader than Lilo | 04:25 |
| JamesB192 | NetEcho: Eclipse? I don't program so I wouldn't know | 04:25 |
| cc4 | hi . why can't I see a .local folder on my home user folder? | 04:25 |

| furythor | Are latest nvidia drivers available for 8.04 ? | 04:25 |
| KitsunePC | It told me to use ntfsclone --rescue ... | 04:25 |
| KitsunePC | I did that in terminal and nothing happened o.o | 04:25 |
| thomas_ | anyone have any experience managing a ipod using floola or banshee? | 04:25 |
| unop | cc4, files starting with a . are hidden by default .. press ctrl+h to have them visible. | 04:25 |
| nimrod | seems like they are | 04:26 |
| burf | anyone know if snes9x also pays nes roms or do i need another emulator? | 04:26 |
| CyberKitsune_ | Using htop I can see that my RAM useage doesn't really change, but my Swap just gets used and used and never frees up as my system slows down | 04:26 |
| simon123 | KitsunePC: run from windows command prompt "chkdsk" | 04:26 |
| KitsunePC | I did that too | 04:26 |
| cc4 | unop: neither | 04:26 |
| KitsunePC | It said in Windows uhh | 04:26 |
| KitsunePC | "Cannot open volume for direct access." | 04:26 |
| cc4 | unop: no .local folder. others starting with . yes | 04:26 |
| deviant-route | whats the problem thomas | 04:26 |
| KitsunePC | after I restarted | 04:26 |
| KitsunePC | it did that | 04:27 |
| thomas_ | @ burf u need another emulator jnes fceux etc | 04:27 |
| unop | cc4, so you're looking for the trash directory but you have no .local ? | 04:27 |
| unop | !trash | cc4 | 04:27 |
| ubottu | cc4: The location of Trash has changed since 8.04, it is now located in ~/.local/share/Trash | Looking for the trash in previous versions: ~/.Trash | 04:27 |
| simon123 | KitsunePC: but don't interrupt it - sometimes it takes time | 04:27 |
| KitsunePC | nono | 04:27 |
| KitsunePC | I'm not interrupting it | 04:27 |
| cc4 | unop: yes | 04:27 |
| KitsunePC | it says "Cannot open volume for direct access." and then skips it | 04:27 |
| KitsunePC | and then Windows starts | 04:27 |
| wolf23 | bruenig, wb dude | 04:28 |
| thomas_ | Well floola won't properly restore my ipod songs appear but won't play if I advance the song the ipod restarts and banshee won't recognize my ipod | 04:28 |
| penguin-up | ubuntu 8.04 works really poorly on youtube...what needs to be done to fix this? | 04:28 |

| gpm | hi guys. two problems: first my card only works with oss, not alsa. second, totem-xine plays video, but no sound comes out. it comes out in xine-ui when i tell that to use oss and in rhythmbox when i tell gstreamer to use oss, but there's no such option in totem-xine and even after setting both those to use oss no sound comes out. any clues on either problem would be greatly appreciated. sound card is an m-audio transit. | 04:54 |
| callum_ | duh | 04:54 |
| Ladaubilis | Can i install from wubi then delete windows? | 04:54 |
| MindSpark | callum_, is it because you cannot afford windose ? | 04:54 |
| tofix | CyberKitsune_, check for Driver "something" in "Section "Device" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf , and replace "Something" by vesa , /etc/init.d/kdm restart, if it works reboot your computer, wait a while a check swap usage . | 04:54 |
| DasEi | Ladaubilis: no | 04:54 |
| callum_ | i have windows 7 and vista but not at home atm | 04:54 |

| callum_ | windos 7 RC EVALUATION | 04:54 |
| brassmaster | callum_: oh no, you should use windows. it's sooooooo much better on crappy netbook hardware. | 04:54 |
| burf | oh its there | 04:55 |
| Ladaubilis | no windows makes me sick | 04:55 |
| * brassmaster throws up his dinner. | 04:55 | |
| CyberKitsune_ | tofix: My xorg.conf looks like this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/263556/ I don't see a Driver "Something" :( | 04:55 |
| george | windows died for me the last virus i got, i just said screw it, and ive never looked back | 04:55 |
| callum_ | brassmaster windows 7 has a 4.1 rating on my netbook with 2gb ram 1.8ghz processor and its made for netbooks and woorks without drivers | 04:55 |

| thomas_ | @Ladaubilis did you try the link? | 04:56 |
| burf | driving me nuts, why you cant just right clikc and compile.. on a .c file | 04:56 |

| gpm | george: yes, the sound works when i select alsa in the gnome-audio prefs | 04:57 |
| GuidMorrow | wait I realized something: | 04:57 |
| GuidMorrow | isn't KINO for DV cameras and camcorders? | 04:57 |
| gpm | george: and when i tell mplayer/xine-ui to use oss as the audio output driver | 04:57 |
| callum_ | wow you have to download and burn gnome partiooner to format a sd card | 04:57 |
| callum_ | lmao what a joke | 04:57 |

| * DBO looks at GuidMorrow | 04:58 | |
| swiftarrow | callum_ just do it. Take the time to explore gparted. Compare it to the dinky right-click - format in windows. | 04:58 |

| brassmaster | callum_: better yet, just go install windows. in about 4 hours, you can format that card. | 04:58 |
| MindSpark | I installed powernowd, but I am guessing gnome has its own governor ? | 04:58 |
| burf | YAY | 04:58 |

| george | mindspark: thats really odd | 04:59 |
| GuidMorrow | look at the flame war, for some reason this guy doesn't know how to format a SD card in ubuntu | 04:59 |

| arooni-mobile___ | is 12GB big enough for a /root/ partition? for ubuntu jaunty? | 05:00 |
| dody_keren | oh no | 05:00 |

| george | arooni-mobile___: plenty big | 05:00 |
| stlsaint | arooni-mobile___, try closer to 15 just to be on safe side of things | 05:00 |
| DBO | arooni-mobile___, more or less, how much space do you have available? | 05:00 |
| swiftarrow | arooni-mobile___, depends on what type of software you are going to install later on. | 05:00 |
| brassmaster | stlsaint: yes, but that i would have to look up. | 05:00 |
| arooni-mobile___ | DBO, not sure; going to reinstall oS | 05:00 |

| GuidMorrow | can you even format a flash memory chip by any "normal" means? | 05:01 |

| stlsaint | brassmaster, plus i have seen a couple issues with using gparted for sd cards...not questioning your knowledge...just looking at all options | 05:01 |

| arooni-mobile___ | DBO, not dual boot; but want to install vm. 320GB of hard drive | 05:02 |
| george | callum_: its under administration --> partition editor | 05:02 |
| swiftarrow | that's one thing I don't like about Jaunty: instead of calling it Gparted, it's called Partition editor... but only in the menu | 05:02 |
| GuidMorrow | now as I was saying, isn't KINO for DV camcorders? | 05:02 |
| stlsaint | arooni-mobile___, what are you using as vm client | 05:02 |
| Miodrag | hi, I recently bought an Acer mini laptop [WinXP] that have hidden silent installation partition which can be trigered with hotkey during bios post screen. I found this concept very interesting and wondered to replicate it with Ubuntu on desktop machine - instead of bios hotkey i will use usb flash with boot loader. Question is what hidden partition file system should be and how to convert... | 05:03 |
| thomas_ | @Ladaubilis do you have a recovery partition? | 05:03 |
| Miodrag | ...ISO file to an such "partition installation" way? | 05:03 |
| arooni-mobile___ | stlsaint, virtualbox | 05:03 |
| DBO | arooni-mobile___, 25GB / (for apps and some growing room), the rest into /home and swap | 05:03 |
| stlsaint | arooni-mobile___, what version | 05:03 |
| Ladaubilis | thomas_ i have a spare hd in my computer current as an archive | 05:03 |
| DBO | arooni-mobile___, with a dev box you will end up with quite a lot of dev header files and random stuff installed into /, so having 25GB there is a good idea | 05:03 |
| swiftarrow | Miodrag, there is a way to install ubuntu from the ISO image, by adding it to grub. Try searching for that ("Install from iso without burning cd") | 05:03 |
| arooni-mobile___ | stlsaint, whatever is on their site; latest de | 05:03 |
| arooni-mobile___ | deb | 05:03 |
| === blademeld is now known as bladeafk | ||
| arooni-mobile___ | DBO, thanks for the reccomendation | 05:04 |
| DasEi | Ladaubilis : I see, then you could mount the ubu-iso in windows, install to the usb-hd and then boot it, make sure grub installs to usb, then can install on internal same way afterwards | 05:04 |
| stlsaint | arooni-mobile___, are you using repos or off archive | 05:04 |
| arooni-mobile___ | is it TRUE that after i set up my partitions for RAID1 that i CANNOT resize partitions later? | 05:04 |
| === gustavo is now known as tabito | ||
| callum_ | ok now my sd card has 1.9GB un-allocated space | 05:04 |
| Miodrag | swiftarrow: thanks very much | 05:04 |
| thomas_ | @Ladaubilis the point was to see if you can start up in recovery mode and go to the windows installer to install a bootmgr | 05:04 |
| callum_ | do you need to create a partition on it now | 05:04 |
| stlsaint | swiftarrow, Miodrag you are referring to Grub2...correct?! | 05:04 |
| Phase | How do I make a specific program (specifically zenity) always remain "on top" of other applications (GNOME) ? | 05:04 |
| DBO | arooni-mobile___, you can but its a real pain in the rump | 05:04 |
| Phase | Nevermind | 05:05 |
| brassmaster | callum_: go to a terminal and do mkfs.vfat /dev/hd* where hd* is your device. | 05:05 |
| thomas_ | anyone have any experience managing a ipod using floola or banshee? | 05:05 |
| DasEi | callum_: gparted > format to ( right click on unallocated) | 05:05 |
| Phase | Er, re-nevermind. It goes away after I close the dialog. | 05:05 |
| george | phase: right click the window title and check always on top | 05:05 |
| Ladaubilis | DasEi, So install wubi? to second HD, boot to it, format C: then reinstall ubuntu to C:? | 05:05 |
| === bayu is now known as sister | ||
| arooni-mobile___ | DBO thats why i wanted to check first | 05:05 |
| arooni-mobile___ | what are peoples thoughts on RAID 1 | 05:05 |
| arooni-mobile___ | via software | 05:05 |
| callum_ | nvm its applying fat16 | 05:05 |
| Phase | george, Yeah, but the option doesn't stick for when the next time a zenity dialog is opened. | 05:05 |
| === bladeafk is now known as bladesleep | ||
| stlsaint | thomas_, what version of ipod | 05:05 |
| cfedde | might want a lvm in there too if you realy think you want to grow a file system after it is up. | 05:05 |
| Ladaubilis | thomas_ the usbharddrive i was trying to install from is missing the bootmgr | 05:05 |
| DasEi | Ladaubilis : no, you can run the installer cd in a virtual drive under windows | 05:06 |
| thomas_ | 80GB classic | 05:06 |
| MindSpark | ok, let me rephrase: which cpu frequency governor does the "CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor 2.27.4" use for ondemand scaling ? | 05:06 |
| DBO | arooni-mobile___, unless you really need it.... I wouldnt bother... | 05:06 |
| CyberKitsune_ | tofix: You still there? | 05:06 |
| swiftarrow | Miodrag, nice idea... | 05:06 |
| MindSpark | I've tried cpufreqd powernowd powersaved, and none seem to work | 05:06 |
| Ladaubilis | DasEi oh great lemme give that a shot, ill be back if i have issues ! | 05:06 |
| DasEi | Ladaubilis :google virtual clone drive | 05:06 |
| cfedde | arooni-mobile___: imho it's easier to do a disk shuffle when you need more space than to grow a file system. | 05:07 |
| swiftarrow | stlsaint, I'm not sure, just remember reading some tutorials a while back | 05:07 |
| stlsaint | swiftarrow, as i recall Grub2 is capable of booting from iso...are you running karmic | 05:07 |
| stlsaint | ? | 05:07 |
| swiftarrow | callum_ use fat32 from the right-click menu. Otherwise you have problems with big files | 05:07 |
| GuidMorrow | can't get kino to start, doesn't see my capture card (it only works with dv cameras!) | 05:08 |
| burf | is there not a gui for joysticks in unubtu - anyone know? | 05:08 |
| crdlb | MindSpark: I'm not sure I understand the question; it just uses the kernel's 'ondemand' cpufreq governor | 05:08 |
| GuidMorrow | is there another video program that does work with capture cards | 05:08 |
| swiftarrow | stlsaint, no, so I guess it's Grub<2 ;) Someone somewhere had posted a tutorial showing how to get grub to boot an iso image, long before grub2 i guess. | 05:08 |
| brassmaster | swiftarrow: callum_'s gone | 05:08 |
| brassmaster | at last. | 05:08 |
| Bluey | swift it was on hak5 awhile back | 05:09 |
| swiftarrow | brassmaster, ah, thanks | 05:09 |
| Miodrag | another thing i wanted to ask - since i will not need all ubuntu packages - its for terminal computer that uses php as an imput to mysql database and notting more - i wondered to make smaller installation of ubuntu - i readed some documentation and found bunch of remastering tools - if anyone have idea which one is the best - most sophisticated for use | 05:09 |
| Miodrag | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_remastering_software | 05:09 |
| swiftarrow | Miodrag, perhaps take a look at crunchbang | 05:09 |
| swiftarrow | crunchbang linux, an ubuntu derivative | 05:09 |
| arooni-mobile___ | are defaults for partitions recommended at: ext3 / mount options (relatime) label: none ; reserved blocks 5% typical usage: standard ? | 05:10 |
| stlsaint | swiftarrow, ha testing crunchbang out in vm right now...has some nice qualities i must say | 05:10 |
| Miodrag | thx i will look into it right now | 05:10 |
| cfedde | arooni-mobile___: not much reason to change the defaults. | 05:10 |

| stlsaint | Miodrag, be warned crunchbang out the box is all about business..not flashy programs or environments...you will have to do all that...but | 05:11 |

| sebsebseb | scriptwarlock: and yes 9.10 final will be out at the end of October | 05:19 |
| Dulak | not stable enough | 05:19 |
| scriptwarlock | no im waiting for the lts | 05:20 |
| thiebaude | sebsebseb, someone asked me earlier whats new in 9.10 and i gave him a list of whats new | 05:20 |
| scriptwarlock | could ext4 be the default of ext4? | 05:20 |
| scriptwarlock | im mean next lts | 05:20 |
| pepperphd | why do i have to have root privelages to updatedb? can i make it so i don't have to sudo updatedb? | 05:20 |
| sebsebseb | thiebaude: there are wiki pages | 05:20 |

| scriptwarlock | do i have to reformat my hard disk? | 05:24 |
| JamesB192 | Zylstra555: sounds like the -viewonly of a vnc client I sometimes use. | 05:25 |
| DasEi | scriptwarlock: It has advanced journaling funciotns and supports bigger hd's, details : http://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/ | 05:25 |
| Zylstra555 | JamesB192: Nope, its something other than that. Viewonly is not selected. | 05:25 |
| scriptwarlock | ah ok so no big impact on lappy and desktops | 05:26 |
| nnull | Anyone know a program i can use with gimp thats like Illustrator? Eg i can create slices for web output in | 05:26 |
| Zylstra555 | JamesB192: You know how your computer can lock itself when the screensaver comes on? After I enter the password there, I am unable to control it. Also, when the screen is not locked, and the desktop is open, I can usually select one thing before I am unable to click anything. | 05:26 |
| DasEi | scriptwarlock:you can change to ext 4, your old data will remain ext3, anything new will be written in 4 then | 05:26 |
| scriptwarlock | reformating? | 05:26 |
| scriptwarlock | or no need | 05:26 |
| sebsebseb | scriptwarlock: I am not sure how good the conversion is, but as far as I know for the proper thing you need to clean install Ubuntu | 05:27 |
| scriptwarlock | yeah right...well gonna check this ext4 now | 05:27 |
| sebsebseb | scriptwarlock: optional file system for 9.04 and a bit hmm | 05:27 |
| sebsebseb | scriptwarlock: default for next one | 05:27 |
| Zylstra555 | What I just said makes no sense at all, I realize, I am very tired.. but, thats all I can think of how to describe it. | 05:28 |

| DasEi | brickside_: again ? heh | 05:29 |
| brickside_ | so it works? | 05:29 |
| brickside_ | nice | 05:29 |
| scriptwarlock | i dont think its neccesary for me to play with ext4 now since everything is working fine except maybe for boot ime on 9.04 | 05:29 |
| scriptwarlock | boot time | 05:29 |
| Zylstra555 | JamesB192: Ubuntu's remote control uses VNC. I use SSH a lot as well... I don't beleive it is a network issue at this time. | 05:29 |
| Zylstra555 | JamesB192: though, I was thinking about trying to configure RDP | 05:29 |
| DasEi | scriptwarlock: the decreas from ext4 will be marginal, if at all there, better kill uneeded services for faster boot | 05:30 |

| mgjschdl | are you serious?! did they take that ability out recently? | 06:13 |
| zenlunatic | mgjschdl: man page should show you where the config files are | 06:13 |

| _Trinity_ | hi all | 06:25 |
| _Trinity_ | say, I was trying to upgrade brezy to dapper | 06:25 |
| _Trinity_ | couldn't do it | 06:26 |
| sebsebseb | !dapper | _Trinity_ | 06:26 |
| ubottu | _Trinity_: Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (Dapper Drake) was the fourth release of Ubuntu. Desktop support ended on July 14th 2009, Server support will end in June 2011. See !upgrade for upgrade instructions | 06:26 |
| Polterge|st | would anyone happpen to know how to fix this http://pastebin.com/m6a85f211 ? | 06:26 |
| sebsebseb | !upgrade | _Trinity_ | 06:27 |
| ubottu | _Trinity_: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading | 06:27 |
| blizzang | DasEi: i dont trust a quick check...the partition was being moved when the computer lost power, and i managed to copy everything from /bin on the LiveCD to /bin on the hard drive, and it booted and worked just fine. so now im trying to move the partition to install windows, im having errors (as you know) and i want to make sure that it is okay | 06:27 |
| _Trinity_ | it not there under http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu but under http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu | 06:27 |
| blizzang | DasEi: it was having trouble reading /bin, which is why i copied them over... | 06:27 |
| sebsebseb | _Trinity_: why Dapper? | 06:27 |
| _Trinity_ | those instructions don't work because they don't take account that the address points to another repository | 06:28 |
| sebsebseb | !8.04 | _Trinity_ | 06:28 |
| ubottu | _Trinity_: Ubuntu 8.04-LTS (Hardy Heron) was the eighth release of Ubuntu. Downloading: http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04 - See !lts for more details. | 06:28 |
| DasEi | blizzang: hm, the -p should have done repairs, what is the -k option in fsck for ? | 06:28 |
| _Trinity_ | well, dapper because I can't seem to install a new verion onto my iMac | 06:28 |
| sebsebseb | _Trinity_: if you can't repo update, why not do a clean install and put on at least 8.04 on? | 06:28 |
| _Trinity_ | actually I had to install hoary | 06:28 |
| blizzang | DasEi: http://www.uluga.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7658001 | 06:28 |
| sebsebseb | _Trinity_: oh on a Mac, you can get later versions onto Mac, but I don't know how to put Linux onto a Mac, since don't have one | 06:29 |
| _Trinity_ | these newer ones don't seem to want to install or I', burnig bum CDs | 06:29 |
| _Trinity_ | but I've been checking the md5 and they turn out right | 06:29 |
| _Trinity_ | I have burn protection too | 06:29 |

| _Trinity_ | and so I'm being forced to upgrade solowly from hoary | 06:30 |
| _Trinity_ | I figured it out. We;ll see now | 06:30 |
| Mqueue | JamesB192>> seems like i had to uninstall some of the linux-image packaegs and got rid of some of the stuff..just gona reboot and see thanks for your help ;-) | 06:30 |

| JamesB192 | ah. | 06:31 |
| padi999 | JamesB192: no annon accounts, you mean xfer logs? | 06:31 |
| blizzang | DasEi: most (read: enough) of the data is backed up, so even if I lose a few files here and there, thats okay | 06:31 |
| DasEi | blizzang: so mark bad blocks in the table, see | 06:32 |
| CaptainCrook | anyway to run a command in a specific terminal from another terminal? | 06:32 |

| CaptainCrook | DasEi, same machine... | 06:35 |
| sebsebseb | _Trinity_: ok well, Yellow Dog Linux is meant to be good on Mac as well | 06:36 |
| _Trinity_ | I don't like rpm based distros | 06:36 |
| _Trinity_ | once I got to Debian, I loved it | 06:36 |
| _Trinity_ | but stable was way too old | 06:37 |
| sebsebseb | _Trinity_: oh ok, but why not btw ? | 06:37 |
| _Trinity_ | and testing was too rough | 06:37 |
| sebsebseb | _Trinity_: yeah exactly, I thought about Debian, but stable means old when it comes to Debian | 06:37 |
| _Trinity_ | so when Ubuntu came around, it was almost right | 06:37 |
| _Trinity_ | rpm based distros --back when I was using linux-- never garentee upgrades | 06:38 |
| andresmh | is there a PPA where we can find Skype 2.1? | 06:38 |
| _Trinity_ | they can try but they always seem to break | 06:38 |

| _Trinity_ | I've hardly ever had problems with apt | 06:39 |
| sebsebseb | _Trinity_: ah ok | 06:39 |
| Lostinspace_46 | Polterge|st: It looks to me like there is a file that can't be read due to a script error..You may have to remove it all by hand | 06:39 |
| blizzang | DasEi: yeah, its about 33% done, with about 18 minutes elapsed, so its gonna be awhile | 06:39 |
| andresmh | sebsebseb, but Skype provides a download not a repo | 06:39 |
| pyRunner | My dual boot installation is not working after I follow https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot?action=show&redirect=WindowsDualBootHowTo | 06:39 |
| _Trinity_ | I could go on and on, into the other stuff but I'll save it for another day | 06:40 |
| sebsebseb | andresmh: yes get the download | 06:40 |
| sebsebseb | _Trinity_: sure, plus it's off topic in here | 06:40 |
| blizzang | DasEi: the good news is that it hasnt spit out any errors or bad blocks yet, so it either hasnt hit them yet, logs all the bad blocks and spits them all out at the end, or there arent any so far... | 06:40 |
| sebsebseb | _Trinity_: in pm it's ok, but I am going soon anyway | 06:40 |

| kamagatos | powertool08: i tried it but it doesnt work | 06:57 |
| powertool08 | kamagatos: Also, VNC isn't very secure on it's own, I recommend tunneling it over an ssh session(and recommend pubkey authentication for ssh) | 06:57 |

| dsdeiz | oh, what about using 'dpkg'? can i install a deb package without being root? :-/ | 07:18 |
| kamagatos | powertool:http://paste.ubuntu.com/263599/ | 07:18 |
| Bluey | ds - no | 07:18 |
| Bluey | just prefix the command with sudo and that should work | 07:18 |
| grawity | dsdeiz: no, dpkg requires root, and all other apps just call dpkg. | 07:18 |
| grawity | Bluey: dsdeiz said, "without being root" | 07:18 |
| Bluey | so sudo apt-get install <packagenamegoeshere> | 07:18 |
| Lostinspace_46 | Flannel: I did and dpkg: serious warning: files list file for package `libgizmod3' missing, assuming package has no files currently installed. | 07:19 |

| dsdeiz | yups | 07:19 |
| dsdeiz | grawity: yes, it's a .deb | 07:19 |
| powertool08 | kamagatos: I'm not sure if this is the problem or not, but it looks like ssh wants you to be root when you connect. debug2: ssh_connect: needpriv 0 | 07:19 |
| Flannel | Lostinspace_46: that's an interesting warning, but there you go, evolution-data-server and nautilus-sendto both have files in /usr/lib/evolution | 07:19 |
| grawity | dsdeiz: Then you need to use 'sudo dpkg -i file.deb' | 07:19 |
| grawity | dsdeiz: apt is only for downloading/installing from repos. | 07:19 |
| powertool08 | kamagatos: but it shouldn't be setup that way. | 07:20 |

| grawity | dsdeiz: So there are two ways: | 07:21 |
| shady-sheep | Err, is there a command on "How to make a log?" | 07:22 |
| kamagatos | powertool08:yes! | 07:22 |
| mib | Flannel:yes | 07:22 |
| dsdeiz | grawity: can you share them? | 07:22 |
| Flannel | mib: Yes | 07:22 |
| grawity | dsdeiz: 1) Get sudo access. (Easy if you're sitting next to PC.) | 07:22 |
| Flannel | grawity: er... | 07:22 |
| grawity | dsdeiz: 2) use 'ar' to unpack the .deb and copy files to your own homedir. | 07:22 |
| Flannel | shady-sheep: A log of what? | 07:22 |
| powertool08 | kamagatos: run 'sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart' then try to connect again. Let me know if its the same output or if it changes. | 07:22 |
| Shady | Flannel: excuse me? | 07:23 |
| durt | mib, ya, there's a python-scipy and python2.4-scipy check at packages.ubuntu.com | 07:23 |
| grawity | Flannel: Not going to explain the 1st one - at least not yet | 07:23 |
| Shady | oh | 07:23 |
| dsdeiz | grawity: 2nd one looks neat.. i'll check on it right away. | 07:23 |
| mib | durt: so they only not supported i feisty? if so, what is the command to install them | 07:23 |
| shady-sheep | Flannel: For a script I'm working on. I'd like to know if it's working in cron so basically something like echo --> to log? | 07:23 |
| dsdeiz | grawity: as for the first one, would that involve a lot of steps? | 07:23 |
| Flannel | mib: Feisty and Edgy are EOL, Dapper is half EOL | 07:23 |
| Bluey | shady hand on a sec I did something like that.... | 07:24 |
| Flannel | shady-sheep: command > file | 07:24 |
| Shady | ... | 07:24 |
| Flannel | shady-sheep: that'll send the otuput of command to a file (stdout, but not stderr) | 07:24 |
| kamagatos | powertool08: i've the same response => connection timed out | 07:24 |
| grawity | dsdeiz: Depends on your experience on the Terminal. | 07:24 |
| Bluey | shady I used an &> so it redirects the output and errors to a file | 07:24 |
| Shady | ok | 07:25 |
| durt | mib, if your on dapper (server) just 'sudo apt-get install python-scipy' , or python2.4-scipy. | 07:25 |

| Shtl | Hello all | 07:32 |
| l403 | what is that supposed to mean? | 07:32 |
| kamagatos | powertool08: u were right! the problem probably comes from the distant machine, nmap returns => host seems down | 07:33 |
| powertool08 | kamagatos: It may just block ping requests, try adding the -PN switch | 07:33 |
| zmobuntu | anyone installed xerox freflow printers? | 07:33 |
| kryptn | lol.. auto connect | 07:34 |

| Bluey | what file system is the usb drive? | 07:35 |

| leaf-sheep | What's the best way to evade administration without typing in password? The script are in ~/bin and I can't echo to /var/log because of permission denied. Add myself to the group or something? | 07:35 |

| Bluey | I have directions on how I made my drive let me find them for you | 07:36 |
| leaf-sheep | grawity: I don't want to toggle off password part. I wanted to be able to echo in root directories. | 07:37 |
| grawity | leaf-sheep: You can use sudo bash -c "echo whatever >> blah" | 07:37 |
| grawity | leaf-sheep: Or echo whatever | sudo tee -a blah > /dev/null | 07:37 |
| Bluey | cptn - look at this: http://pkill-9.com/wordpress/?p=51 | 07:37 |

| Bluey | well how much free space do you have? | 07:38 |
| Cptnodegard | on what? | 07:38 |
| powertool08 | kamagatos: Ok, I think it may return filtered if you have firewall rules which only allow certain hosts, but if you have it setup so any machine anywhere on the internet can ssh into it, then the port is blocked and is causing the problem. | 07:38 |
| ElDuderino | how can i get subtitles working? | 07:38 |
| l403 | :-D | 07:38 |

| powertool08 | kamagatos: I'm still sticking to blocked ports on her side, or perhaps the cdma carrier blocking port 22. You might want to try running ssh on a non-standard port if all ports are open. | 08:06 |
| Gouda | np :) | 08:06 |
| powertool08 | kamagatos: Although, running over cdma networks, they might block all non-standard ports :p | 08:06 |
| Gouda | I agree with powertool on his assessment | 08:07 |
| Gouda | But you said you had it working before so that is puzzling | 08:07 |
| kamagatos | powertool: maybe, but its the same type of connection im using | 08:07 |

| adalal | twiadpaws: hm, u know that grub partition numbers start from 0? | 08:20 |
| twiadpaws | adalal, yes, /dev/sda1 would be hd0,0 for grub | 08:20 |

| prizren | any suggestions | 08:33 |

| Beefedcake | its draining my battery like mad | 08:51 |
| Jakobsen | I have a lot of services running from the directory /var/tmp/Shit/ as the user "rsync".. Has my linux-box been hacked? | 08:52 |
| Dextorion | Nemorensis, format one of the windows partitions to ext3, and mount it to some directory in your home directory. | 08:52 |
| DJones | lex0: Unfortunately, I'm just at work now so I can't really help for very long, as lstarnes says it would be better to keep any queries in the channel in case the person who helps you has to go away unexepectedly, somebody else could take over and would know what had been suggested by reading the channel's scrollback | 08:53 |
| === false- is now known as false | ||
| Nemorensis | Can I do that inside of Windows? | 08:53 |
| lstarnes | Jakobsen: rsync is the user account used by the rsync service, which handles remote synchronization of files | 08:53 |
| Dextorion | Nemorensis, preferably from linux. There might be some win program to format ext3. i dont know. | 08:53 |
| Jakobsen | Several sshd processes and pscan2 is being run by that user, and in the dir I've got a lot of files e.g. vuln.txt and pass.txt | 08:54 |
| Nemorensis | I need to install Gparted for that I assume? | 08:54 |
| Jakobsen | lstarnes, and by the way, I'm not using rsync! | 08:54 |
| lstarnes | Jakobsen: that definitely seems odd | 08:54 |
| powertool08 | Jakobsen: Kinda sounds like it. take a look at the output of 'netstat -tunlp' | 08:54 |
| Dextorion | Nemorensis, gparted would make it easier anyways yeah | 08:55 |
| Nemorensis | I cant install it since I don't have enough space. | 08:55 |
| Jakobsen | powertool08, what should I be looking for? | 08:55 |
| powertool08 | Jakobsen: Anything odd | 08:55 |
| Dextorion | Nemorensis, then find some tool to format to ext3 in windows | 08:55 |
| unixtech | ok so i downloaded wine 1.01 extracted it on the desktop | 08:56 |
| Dextorion | Nemorensis, or to delete one windows partition, and resize the existing linux partition. | 08:56 |

| unixtech | so make file in term | 08:56 |
| unixtech | what do i do | 08:56 |
| Dextorion | Nemorensis, resizing would perhaps be simpler actually | 08:56 |
| Nemorensis | How do I do that? | 08:56 |
| powertool08 | Jakobsen: You can pastebin the output if you want somebody else to take a look | 08:56 |
| lstarnes | unixtech: there are pre-compiled packages for wine for ubuntu | 08:56 |
| Dextorion | Nemorensis, you find some win tool that can resize and format partitions... | 08:56 |
| lstarnes | unixtech: are you attempting to compile it from source? | 08:56 |
| unixtech | nut sure | 08:57 |
| Dextorion | Nemorensis, partition magic is one. but that one costs money | 08:57 |
| unixtech | i think so | 08:57 |
| lstarnes | unixtech: what file did you donwload? | 08:57 |
| Nemorensis | I have it downloaded | 08:57 |
| powertool08 | Jakobsen: If you have another computer you might want to disconnect that one from the net until you're sure its ok | 08:57 |

| mint | anyone | 08:58 |

| powertool08 | Jakobsen: Judging from the Mar 25 2006 dates, either your date is wrong, or this machine has been compromised for quite some time | 09:05 |
| Jakobsen | veinor, I set my root password manually after Ubuntu install.. 8 chars with both numbers, capital and small letters.. I thought it would be runnung a little bit longer before getting hacked :D | 09:05 |
| veinor | ... oh yeah, what's up with those dates? | 09:06 |
| Jakobsen | powertool08, My time is right, and the machine was installed a week ago.. | 09:06 |
| theevilone | so what command would i use to remove the fglrx from live cd? cant I chroot into my tanked install and fix it that way? | 09:06 |
| livingdaylight | having installed mplayer from Synaptic i also see mencoder next to mplayer. Is it an advantage to have mencoder installed also? | 09:06 |
| cchen | theevilone: also suggest "sudo aticonfig --initial -f" after install fgirx driver | 09:06 |

| Bluey | nytol.... | 09:06 |
| usr13 | theevilone: Are you just running from liveCD? | 09:07 |
| Beefcaked | hi guys can someone help me since i installed ubuntu to this laptop it now consumes more power | 09:07 |
| powertool08 | Jakobsen: It looks like the attacker used pscan2 to scan your subnet 20 hosts at a time | 09:07 |
| theevilone | usr13 yea i cant boot into my install cuz of ati issue | 09:07 |
| theevilone | usr13 thats why im hoping i can fix it from here so i dont have to reinstall | 09:07 |
| Michalxo | Beefcaked, "pretty normal".. I'll try to find some info in ubuntuforums.org (you should too :) ) | 09:07 |
| cchen | theevilone: don't remove fglrx because that's the driver that will work with your gpu. | 09:07 |
| === sale_ is now known as sale | ||
| theevilone | cchen well normally i dont install it, i just run off of whatever is installed by default | 09:08 |
| Jakobsen | powertool08, it's the only host on my subnet except for my laptop and my WRT54GL :D | 09:08 |
| Michalxo | Beefcaked, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1209763 | 09:08 |
| theevilone | but i was enabling emerald and compiz and thats why I had to install fglrx and thast when things went south | 09:08 |
| Jakobsen | powertool08, but he also scanned a lot of outside IP | 09:08 |
| powertool08 | Jakobsen: Hmm, maybe it was somebody elses | 09:08 |
| cchen | theevilone: let me check, i'm not sure if fglrx is installed by default. | 09:08 |
| Beefcaked | :) | 09:08 |
| livingdaylight | guys, can someone tell me about mencoder? | 09:09 |
| theevilone | cchen it isnt | 09:09 |
| Jakobsen | powertool08, and the positive results are written in the vuln.txt file.. I'm getting rid of that.. | 09:09 |
| livingdaylight | what addistional benefit does mencoder provide? | 09:09 |
| Michalxo | Beefcaked, and search that forum for similar tags.. (register if not registered.. you'll use it VERY often.. at least I do :) ) | 09:09 |
| theevilone | cchen Im sure of it, when I went to enable compiz, it said i had to get fglrx in order to enable it | 09:09 |
| powertool08 | Jakobsen: You could try to identify the hosts and let them know if you felt like being nice :) | 09:09 |
| veinor | Jakobsen: The point is that your box is essentially compromised and you're not oging to get out of this without a complete reinstall | 09:09 |
| theevilone | cchen i think i had radeon by default | 09:09 |
| veinor | but yeah do what powertool08 said | 09:09 |
| SockPants | hi | 09:09 |

| veinor | livingdaylight: yes, go ahead and ask your question | 09:11 |
| DJones | Jakobsen: This page my give you some advice, particularly the references to rkhunter and chkrootkit, probably won't help with your current system, but maybe worth a read anyway https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingSecurityTools | 09:11 |

| usr13 | theevilone: Yes... | 09:12 |
| livingdaylight | veinor: i asked a lot of times - Mencoder, can you tell me what additional benefit it provides? should i add to mplayer ? | 09:12 |
| usr13 | theevilone: Is that it? | 09:12 |
| Jakobsen | DJones, thank you. | 09:12 |
| theevilone | usr13 i think home is mounted on sda1 as linux starts counting at 0 right | 09:12 |
| cchen | theevilone: yep, the driver that should work on ati 3200 hd is fglrx. you will need to modify that in your xorg.conf. But you will need to install fglrx driver first. If I remember correctly, the radeon driver only supports up to certain ati cards. My old thinkpad t41 is using the radeon driver. :-) | 09:12 |
| usr13 | theevilone: Bring up a terminal and type mount | 09:12 |
| veinor | livingdaylight: I don't remember what specifically it does, but I don't think it'll hurt | 09:13 |

| theevilone | cchen is it possible to just copy those config files over the borked ones? | 09:21 |

| theevilone | usr13: last command i entered was the mv command after I ran ls and seen files | 09:37 |
| powertool08 | JonathanEllis: Thats probably it. My laptop wifi won't work until I down my eth0 link | 09:37 |
| Polterge|st | it is for Karmic Koala but I asked in that channel and nobody knew anything about it | 09:37 |
| cchen | mehed: easy :-) what do you use? skype? | 09:37 |
| theevilone | usr13: is that it or is there more | 09:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Polterge|st: are you using karmic by any chance? | 09:37 |
| Polterge|st | yes | 09:37 |
| usr13 | theevilone: ls /media/disk-1/etc/X11/xorg.conf | 09:37 |
| JonathanEllis | ActionParsnip: Oh I forgot. There are two devices listed for wifi: wifi0 and ath0. ath0 is the one that is configured. Maybe wifi0 is screwing things up, especially as it appears earlier in the list than ath0 | 09:38 |
| Pythack | Hello. | 09:38 |
| usr13 | theevilone: It should say no such file. Right? | 09:38 |
| theevilone | no file or directory | 09:38 |

| theevilone | k thanks ill be back to let you know how it went | 09:38 |
| Polterge|st | and it doesn't work | 09:38 |
| usr13 | theevilone: Ok | 09:38 |
| Polterge|st | it would work but ... | 09:38 |
| Flannel | Polterge|st: #ubuntu+1 is the place for karmic spport, not here, thanks. | 09:38 |
| ActionParsnip | JonathanEllis: try using sudo ifdown wifi0 | 09:38 |
| ActionParsnip | JonathanEllis: or use route to push the data through ath0 | 09:39 |
| ActionParsnip | Polterge|st: then you need support in #ubuntu+1 | 09:39 |
| Polterge|st | dpkg cannot execut the installed post-installation script for apturl-common | 09:39 |
| ActionParsnip | Polterge|st: your release isnt supported here | 09:39 |
| ActionParsnip | Polterge|st: uninstall that too | 09:39 |
| Polterge|st | it says Exec format error | 09:39 |

| JonathanEllis | powertool08: I had the laptop working fine on wifi with ubuntu before without disabling eth0. I had to reinstall ubuntu though because I got into a problem with the package manager crashing which I couldnt recover from. Then I was using 9.04 and now I am using 8.04 | 09:41 |

| x802 | ActionParsnip, maybe it's japanese or korean? | 09:50 |
| cchen | x802: it's traditional chinese | 09:50 |
| ActionParsnip | x802: on my win32 pidgin it shows up as squares for chinese, the rest it can handle for some reason | 09:50 |
| x802 | or Mongolian | 09:50 |

| cchen | usr13: indeed | 09:51 |
| ActionParsnip | x802: huh? | 09:51 |
| cchen | x802: it's traditional chinese, either from Hong Kong or Taiwan... | 09:51 |
| langzhe | Thanks | 09:51 |
| x802 | ok, bad joke | 09:51 |
| veinor | korean uses an entirely different set of glyphs than chinese or japanese, so you cna't get them confused. | 09:51 |
| ActionParsnip | x802: oh i see, touche (not your ass) | 09:51 |

| ActionParsnip | veinor: its all greek to me (ba-dum) | 09:52 |
| admondeus | hi | 09:52 |
| veinor | korean symbols have circles and such in them usually and are simple. japanese will also have simpler symbols but with complicated kanji mixed in. Chinese is pure kanji. | 09:52 |

| Gelegrodan | use -fr if you want to remoe a folder | 09:56 |
| x802 | langzhe, if -r not there, ur rm is really old | 09:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Gelegrodan: or rmdir | 09:56 |

| ct529 | hi! | 09:56 |
| Gelegrodan | ActionParsnip: true, but better to use one command | 09:56 |
| freefall2221 | But I see people with just a name instead of ip-address, eg @ZEUS.COM | 09:57 |
| Gelegrodan | freefall2221: google reverse-dns | 09:57 |
| ct529 | I have a small server I need to install. It is on my internal network but does not have keyboard,monitor or dvd. How do I install it? | 09:57 |
| TheEvilOne | cchen: well i fixed it but that didnt work what we tried | 09:57 |
| ActionParsnip | mehedi: if you upgrade to the next release up it will only upgrade the files that make up the currently installed apps | 09:57 |
| powertool08 | langzhe: Could you please pm me a couple of Chinese symbols so I can check my utf settings? | 09:57 |
| TheEvilOne | usr13: still here? | 09:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Gelegrodan: i disagree but thats me | 09:57 |
| cchen | theevilone: where did you go? :-) so what did you do? | 09:58 |
| admondeus | my pc restart twice in 5 minuts why ? | 09:58 |
| Gelegrodan | ActionParsnip: i dont like the say ubuntu wants to make things "easier" but adding commands for everything... its stupid and people cant use other dists | 09:58 |
| ActionParsnip | mehedi: otherwise a clean install will be needed | 09:58 |
| Flannel | mehedi: Upgrades always have some risk, but assuming everything goes well, yes, nothing will be lost (still, you should have backups!) | 09:59 |
| TheEvilOne | cchen: man after I tried rebooting it was still tanked, so i tried to boot back into the live cd and that wouldnt even boot | 09:59 |
| mehedi | new ubuntu version does not erase any file installed in old version? | 09:59 |
| ActionParsnip | Gelegrodan: true, but if the installed OS has a command, why not use it | 09:59 |
| TheEvilOne | cchen: kept getting a casper/vmlinux.... and it would just sit there | 09:59 |
| ActionParsnip | mehedi: if you upgrade yes, otherwise no | 09:59 |
| ActionParsnip | mehedi: this is why home on a seperate partition is hugely advantageous | 09:59 |
| cchen | thevailone: I was trying to let you kill gdm (x server) and restart gdm (x server) instead of rebooting but they basically do the same thing. | 10:00 |
| ubuntu | hello every one | 10:00 |
| TheEvilOne | cchen: so i booted into safe mode and dropped into a terminal and just ran a command to remove the xorg driver for fglrx and rebooted and it works again | 10:00 |
| ubuntu | i got a problem with the driver rt73usb with my ew-7318usg do you have any good how to for 9.04 ? | 10:01 |
| cchen | theevilone: from the kernal module? | 10:01 |
| TheEvilOne | cchen: what the casper? or the command i ran? | 10:01 |
| TheEvilOne | cchen: like I said Im kind of new to linux so i dont know much about the specifics yet | 10:01 |
| ActionParsnip | ubuntu: run sudo lshw -C network you will see what the chip is and you can websearch from there | 10:02 |
| cchen | theevilone: hang on, let me check something here | 10:02 |
| ubuntu | well i did that and install new driver but it do not work | 10:02 |
| TheEvilOne | cchen: but I booted into recovery mode and chose the option to drop into a command prompt or whatever it is and ran this command "apt-get remove xorg-driver-fglrx" | 10:02 |

| StrangePaint | but I chose in the installation | 10:03 |
| StrangePaint | install side by side | 10:03 |
| Flannel | StrangePaint: please don't use the enter key as punctuation, thanks | 10:03 |
| ActionParsnip | StrangePaint: ease up on the enter key, you can use long lines on irc | 10:03 |
| langzhe | Thanks everyone,I try yours shell. but can not delete my all *.beam | 10:03 |
| cchen | theevilone: is the live cd on a usb stick or on a cd itself? | 10:04 |
| TheEvilOne | cchen: cd | 10:04 |
| ubuntu | yes i did that to it work for injection but can not use internet ... | 10:05 |
| StrangePaint | Install side by side, so it worked and I could choose between ubuntu and vista. Now, it made the partiton that Ubuntu is installed on a little small; So I deleted it in vista, and will reinstall. I have made a new 10GB partition for ubuntu, how do I choose for ubuntu to install in this partition in the installation? Also, do you recommend I have a partition just for ubuntu, but save my stuff on the other partitions, or should I make a big | 10:05 |
| cchen | theevilone: http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/casper, casper is the live cd kernal package... it's not shown in the normal ubuntu installation | 10:05 |

| ubuntu | it was working perfectly with 8.10 but not on 9.04 | 10:07 |
| cchen | theevilone: basically you just removed fglrx driver package. Everything else should stay the same. | 10:07 |
| StrangePaint | Hmm, but that will install it on something else, I want it to install SPECIFICALLY to this new partition | 10:07 |
| ActionParsnip | StrangePaint: you could even go for an advanced install and create 2 partitions. one of about 2Gb for swap and one for / | 10:07 |
| TheEvilOne | cchen: yes... hey whats the command to check what driver Im running now? | 10:07 |
| StrangePaint | ActionParsnip: I don't know the names of my HDD's, I mean, I do, but Ubuntu has a weird way of saying what they are; I have some very important data on my two HDD's, I can't lose it. | 10:08 |
| cchen | theevilone: take a look at your xorg.conf by typing "cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf", look into the module section | 10:08 |
| ActionParsnip | StrangePaint: do you not have a backup? | 10:08 |
| cchen | theevilone: does it say radeon? | 10:08 |
| StrangePaint | ActionParsnip: No, I don't. | 10:09 |
| ActionParsnip | StrangePaint: then the dta is disposble | 10:09 |
| StrangePaint | No, I can't afford a new 1TB hdd to backup all my stuff. | 10:09 |
| ActionParsnip | StrangePaint: you will need to use the advanced partitioner to create 2 partitions in the unpartitioned space | 10:09 |
| TheEvilOne | cchn: no it doesnt even list a driver and thats the thing my video is behaving differently than usual | 10:10 |
| ActionParsnip | StrangePaint: no backup == dont care if my hard drive suddenly fails | 10:10 |
| TheEvilOne | cchen: all im getting is configured video device | 10:10 |
| ActionParsnip | StrangePaint: can you afford to lose your data, is your data worth the price of a 1Tb hdd for backup? | 10:10 |
| StrangePaint | ActionParsnip: Okay, but I went into that once and I didn't understand anything, everything was in weird names. | 10:11 |
| StrangePaint | Also, yes, okay I will buy a 1TB HDD for backup. | 10:11 |
| ActionParsnip | StrangePaint: if you see 10Gb of unpartitioned space you are there | 10:11 |
| JonathanEllis | StrangePaint: My partitioning scheme is as follows. I make a small 100MB partition to use as /boot which would be sda1. sda2 is my windows partition. Then I have an extended partition with sda6 as my root partition (the one ubuntu is installed on) - about 10GB. Then sda7 as /home which I make as big as possible (for all my user files). Then sda8 as swap space (about twice the size of my RAM). There is a handy guide to partitioning here http://www.ps | 10:11 |
| cchen | theevilone: then you are using the default vga driver provided by this live cd | 10:12 |
| TheEvilOne | cchen: do i just run apt-get install radeon than to reinstall radeon? | 10:12 |
| TheEvilOne | cchen: weird thing is like I said ive installed ubuntu like 5 times and always installed fglrx sometime after main install and never had issues til tonight.. | 10:13 |

| TheEvilOne | cchen: you think a theme i downloaded or emerald could have caused that? never had emerald installed before when installing fglrx and never had issues | 10:14 |

| flohack | Hi! I have a system with asterisk which segfaults once every few days. I do not get a core dump file however. I checked (sudo cat /proc/16507/limits) that the core file size is unlimited and checked the /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern file, it is set to 'core'. Asterisk is started with "/usr/sbin/asterisk -C /etc/asterisk/asterisk.conf -g -U asterisk". Everything seems to be fine, but I still don't get a core dump, although other processes dump | 10:14 |
| flohack | their core just fine...Any ideas? | 10:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Ozzah: try: http://www.hitmill.com/programming/cpp/helloWorld.htm | 10:15 |
| sipior | Ozzah: try "g++ test.cpp" | 10:16 |
| cchen | theevilone: i have two pcs at work with the same graphic cards as yours and i've been using fglrx with no problem. the only problem i can see that cause your screen distorted would be the mis-configure of your xorg.conf. by install emerald, you will need to enable composite in your xorg.conf as well. that could be the issue if you don't. I would recommend google xorg.conf on some of the high-end ati cards to get a good configuration t | 10:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Ozzah: your program doesnt use any args, so the arg definitions for main are moot | 10:16 |
| NeiLLx | hi all | 10:17 |
| Ozzah | sipior: Thanks... that was the problem. What's the difference between gcc and g++? I normally use ICC at university | 10:17 |
| kOOOng | how do you permanently shred the contents of the trash bin? | 10:17 |
| sipior | Ozzah: it's the difference between C and C++ :-) | 10:17 |
| Ozzah | ActionParsnip: Well I am not writing a hello world program obviously... | 10:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Ozzah: you obviously are, thats what the code does | 10:17 |
| Ozzah | sipior: I see, thanks. I guess I Just assume gcc would compile both :) | 10:17 |
| TheEvilOne | cchen: so do you think I should remove emerald, then install fglrx or just reinstall radeon? although i dont need emerald if im not installing fglrx as it doesnt work with it | 10:18 |
| sipior | Ozzah: just different interfaces to the same set of compiler back-ends | 10:18 |
| Ozzah | ActionParsnip: ...it was an example to show the error I'm getting when trying to compile. It's not the program I'm trying to compile. The code is finished and compiles at uni, I was just trying to compile it here. | 10:19 |

| Mixed22891 | adalal | 10:20 |
| Gelegrodan | someone got cryptsetup working with dropbear? | 10:20 |
| cchen | theevilone: i suggest getting a good xorg.conf to work with either fglrx or radeon (your choice). Both drivers work but fglrx seems to work better for me. emerald should work fine on both drivers but you will need to enable composite in your xorg.conf. Do google the requirements for emerald to make sure your xorg.conf configuration will work with it. | 10:21 |
| TheEvilOne | cchen: so ill have to manually edit that xorg conf file? before installing FGLRX? | 10:23 |

| TheEvilOne | cchen: see the thing is when I just installed fglrx it froze up my whole system before the install even completed and i had to reboot and then thats when all problems started | 10:25 |
| cchen | theevilone; then you can enable compiz. emerald requires compiz so you'll need to make sure compiz works before installing emerald | 10:26 |
| SockPants | hey all, anyone know how to set the screen brightness on a laptop? my standard keyboard shortcuts do show a brightness bar popup but the brightness doesnt change | 10:27 |
| sipior | leaf-sheep: the format is simply one username per line (no whitespace) | 10:28 |
| cchen | theevilone: do this: "sudo dkpg -reconfigur xserver-xorg" which will revert anything that installed fglrx has done to your PC. Also "sudo apt-get install --reinstall libgl1-mesa" to make sure that the removal of fglrx did restore the file from libgl1-mesa. after that, you can try to install fglrx again and see if it freezes again. | 10:29 |

| leaf-sheep | sipior: Not sudo crontab -e (as it mean root). | 10:31 |
| paul68 | ActionParsnip: and where do I look in particular? | 10:31 |
| ActionParsnip | paul68: it should say in the output, failing that: sudo lshw -C network | 10:32 |

| un|matrix | how do i block an IP address on my router with iptables? | 10:33 |
| arcsky | ActionParsnip: i told you without root permission | 10:33 |
| cchen | theevilone: in linux, each configuration file is stored in a destinate hidden path. unlike windows, we don't use registry. the command you were referring to was to re-install using apt-get. But my attempt is to get through the installation successfully since you said it's been working before. | 10:33 |
| leaf-sheep | ActionParsnip: That guide is useful reading. | 10:33 |
| ActionParsnip | arcsky: you cant install anything without sudo / root so you are stuck. Neither can you download the file and write to the proper place as you have no write access to where the file is supposed to go if you are only a user | 10:33 |

| cchen | theevilone; so sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg will get you back to original xserver settings and sudo apt-get install --reinstall libgl1-mesa will restore the replaced files. | 10:34 |

| TheEvilOne | cchen: acutally I did that earlier, when I was in the process of getting this to boot and it did the same thing | 10:51 |
| cchen | theevilone: once repaired, try the same command see if the x-server now let you re-configure to factory settings. | 10:51 |
| ActionParsnip | achilles: or delete the old profile and rebuild a new one from scratch | 10:51 |

| funkmaster | can someone help me there? I have created a rss file and now I want it be accessible on my network, but it does not seem to work | 11:09 |
| theatro | dstansby, I dont see a reason to blacklist the module, if it doesnt work then it doesnt work, edit xorg.conf and use an other driver | 11:09 |
| ActionParsnip | funkmaster: share it with samba or sshfs or cifs etc | 11:09 |
| OSA | #ubuntu-pl | 11:10 |
| ActionParsnip | funkmaster: well, share a folder and make sure the file is in it | 11:10 |
| funkmaster | ActionParsnip: did that | 11:10 |
| dstansby | theatro: What do I change in xorg.conf to use another driver? | 11:10 |

| ActionParsnip | anstei: maybe you need extra options for your card to get nice playback. have you install libdvdcss2 from medibuntu repos | 11:12 |
| anstei | ActionParsnip: libdvdcss2 is installed, but i'll check my config | 11:12 |
| funkmaster | ActionParsnip: yes | 11:13 |

| xover | what is the best way to administer an ubuntu network? | 12:08 |
| Grizzly_ | xover: what you mean administer ? | 12:08 |
| xover | grizzly, create a similar setup to active directory. | 12:09 |
| xover | so that a user can login anywhere and I can keep track of software updates. | 12:09 |
| Debolaz | Ie, common set of users and permissions across all servers. | 12:09 |
| xover | would that be NIS+,LDAP or kerberos etc? | 12:09 |
| Grizzly_ | xover: ok. can't help with that. | 12:09 |
| Debolaz | xover: I recommend looking at http://www.canonical.com/projects/landscape | 12:10 |
| xover | debolaz: yeah was looking at that, im trying to keep to free software, are there are central management systems that are free/ | 12:10 |
| Debolaz | xover: For controlling users, there's OpenLDAP, but managing the updating of servers centrally, I don't think there's a good alternative for. | 12:11 |

| bernardlychan | hey guys, wat's the differnce between desktop edition, netbook remix and server edition? | 12:15 |
| nofear | hey tell me abot vuze | 12:15 |
| erUSUL | bernardlychan: default packages installed. | 12:15 |
| PecisDarbs | bernardlychan: desktop and server editions how different live cds | 12:15 |
| Sidewinder1 | Do a search for vuze; it's java based and a little bloated but has many features and I like it. Believe Transmission comes native with Hardy. Why not use it? | 12:15 |
| ikonia | bernardlychan: the server is optimised for enterprise level hardware, the desktop for desktop hardware and the remix has extra software such as gui options for the netbooks | 12:15 |
| PecisDarbs | bernardlychan: and of course default package selection | 12:16 |
| PecisDarbs | bernardlychan: repositories are all the same | 12:16 |
| bernardlychan | so which one needs the least resources? like, less ram/space? | 12:16 |
| Boohbah | bernardlychan: server | 12:16 |
| nofear | any one tell me | 12:16 |
| Boohbah | !vuze | 12:16 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about vuze | 12:16 |
| bernardlychan | is server easy to use Boohbah? does it have gui? | 12:16 |
| Grizzly_ | xover: what can you tell me about hibernate issue ? can this be solved ? | 12:16 |
| ikonia | bernardlychan: you can get them all down to rougly the same disk space | 12:17 |
| xendon | mido_ you have to use openDNS as you DNS provider in ubutnu netwok settings | 12:17 |
| PecisDarbs | bernardlychan: if you want desktop install, Xubuntu is right one, if you want customised desktop install, use alternative install CD | 12:17 |
| ikonia | bernardlychan: you can install a gui on the server, but it is omptimised for enterprise level kit - so I suggest the desktop is better | 12:17 |
| nofear | side winder ... tell me about vuze | 12:17 |
| bernardlychan | the desktop keeps freezing on me ikonia | 12:17 |
| ikonia | ok - so the server or netbook should not behave different | 12:17 |
| ikonia | bernardlychan: can you expand more on the freezes ? | 12:18 |
| bernardlychan | ok. | 12:18 |
| bernardlychan | after a minute after log in, it just freezes. everything except for mouse movement. | 12:18 |
| bernardlychan | i've noticed, it lasts longer without freezing if my laptop is not connected to the monitor | 12:18 |
| ikonia | bernardlychan: does the caps lock key still turn the light on/off on the keyboard ? | 12:18 |
| ikonia | bernardlychan: ooh, is it an intel card ? | 12:19 |
| bernardlychan | yea | 12:19 |
| Boohbah | nofear: what about vuze would you like to know? | 12:19 |
| Sidewinder1 | Vuze was fromerly known as Azureus, suggest you try a search for both. | 12:19 |
| ikonia | bernardlychan: there is a bug logged for that on launchpad, it's a known problem | 12:19 |
| bernardlychan | is there a solution ikonia? | 12:19 |
| Sidewinder1 | www.vuze.com | 12:19 |
| PecisDarbs | bernardlychan: which version it is? | 12:19 |
| bernardlychan | 9.04 | 12:20 |
| ikonia | bernardlychan: there is a work around to set your xorg server to use the vesa driver but that will have a performance impact | 12:20 |
| Sidewinder1 | One or the other are in the repositories | 12:20 |
| ikonia | bernardlychan: from the last comments I read it was being worked on | 12:20 |
| PecisDarbs | bernardlychan: I would suggest to try 9.10 lastest alpha live cd | 12:20 |
| bernardlychan | ok... so wait how do i do this xorg server vesa driver thing ikonia lol? | 12:20 |
| sierinjs | PecisDarbs: sveiks latvieti ;-D | 12:20 |
| PecisDarbs | bernardlychan: if you survive using it for half an hour, they have fixed it | 12:20 |
| PecisDarbs | sierinjs: sveiks veiks | 12:20 |
| bernardlychan | pm ikonia... this is getting confusing lol | 12:21 |
| ikonia | bernardlychan: you need to open your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, and under the device section for your video card add Driver "vesa" as a line | 12:21 |
| ikonia | bernardlychan: don't need to pm you | 12:21 |
| PecisDarbs | ikonia: couldn't you in safe mode enter in Xorg Vesa mode? | 12:21 |
| PecisDarbs | afaik you could in Jaunty | 12:21 |
| ikonia | PecisDarbs: sure, but that won't write it to the file perminantly | 12:22 |
| VilleVicious | Hi! Im trying to install ubuntu from an usb flashdrive made with unetbooting but when booting I get syslinux saying no kernel found. can any one help me? | 12:22 |
| PecisDarbs | ikonia: right, point taken | 12:22 |
| bernardlychan | ikonia, so do i replace the the word "intel" | 12:22 |
| ikonia | bernardlychan: yes | 12:22 |
| ikonia | bernardlychan: Driver "intel" should be Driver "vesa" | 12:22 |
| PecisDarbs | VilleVicious: maybe try Ubuntu tool which comes with Jaunty? | 12:22 |
| bernardlychan | will this be like, near the bottom? and will it work even if i don't have vesa lol? | 12:23 |
| abhi__ | VilleVicious : try wubi | 12:23 |

| Boohbah | s/\\// | 12:38 |
| Boohbah | Lorthirk: do you want to copy the files or just stream them? | 12:38 |
| Dr_Willis | Lorthirk: if you mean 'transfer some files' you can use ssh, and proberly samba to get some stuff transfered. the OSX channel may know more about OSX and what other tools it may support, like nfs, | 12:38 |
| Lorthirk | both: I'd like to stream them, that's quite a big collection :) | 12:39 |
| Boohbah | Lorthirk: for streaming, look into mpd. i think it runs on OSX | 12:39 |
| Lorthirk | let me check | 12:39 |

| Boohbah | alejandro: why not? | 12:51 |
| Dr_Willis | sounds like a 'no i did not install it' to me. :) | 12:51 |
| Boohbah | alejandro: it was likely built with different library versions so that is expected | 12:51 |
| abhi__ | VilleVicious, : then u hv no other option, either burn, or if u can somwhow make a linux partition. although usb stick should have worked with unetbootin | 12:51 |

| b3rz3rk3r | jigs, nmap and ettercap both do that i think | 13:01 |
| benpro | d_rwin, try sudo dpgk-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 13:02 |
| ActionParsnip | xover: i had that. i had to copy and chown /root/.bashrc to ~/.bashrc | 13:02 |
| Dr_Willis | xover: thats odd.. You did install the vim-full package? I do sudo vim /whatever/ and get highlighting here. | 13:02 |
| benpro | jigs, use nmpafe if youre lazy :) | 13:02 |
| benpro | nmapfe* | 13:02 |
| Dr_Willis | xover: or are you logging in as root? | 13:02 |
| ActionParsnip | xover: you'll need to chown it to $USER:$USER as it will be owned by root | 13:02 |
| d_rwin | benpro, i tried dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xsever-xorg | 13:03 |
| jigs | benpro, is it GUI ? | 13:03 |
| xover | yes logged in as root | 13:03 |
| ActionParsnip | xover: dont log on as root, its hugely unsecure | 13:03 |
| benpro | jigs, yes | 13:03 |
| xover | i have nothing in .bashrc | 13:04 |
| ActionParsnip | xover: and running irc clients and web browsers is massvely foolhardy | 13:04 |
| Dr_Willis | xover: thats because root has no default config files.. normally when you sudo - it uses the USERS various config files. | 13:04 |
| xover | this isnt the same machine parsnip | 13:04 |
| d_rwin | benpro, thanks i ll try the reconfigure | 13:04 |
| Dr_Willis | xover: you could copy all the configs from your user home to /root/ i guess.. | 13:04 |
| benpro | jigs, if i remember , in adress ip field, juste put your range with "-" like 192.168.0.1-254 | 13:04 |
| xover | whats so bad about su - | 13:05 |
| ActionParsnip | xover: you need to run: sudo mv ~/.bashrc ~/.bashrc_old; sudo cp /root/.bashrc ~/.bashrc; sudo chown $USER:$USER ~/.bashrc; source ~/.bashrc | 13:05 |
| rakesh_ | hi......xikteny...... | 13:05 |
| jigs | benpro, should I put that in target? | 13:05 |
| ActionParsnip | xover: sudo -i is advised, it makes your settings and config come from ~ rather than /root/ | 13:06 |
| b3rz3rk3r | jigs, yes | 13:06 |
| Dr_Willis | xover: usubntu is designed to use sudo or gksudo, whats so bad.. is the problem youa re having.. 'default settings/permissions' not being done right. | 13:06 |

| spyder89 | Is there a way to schedule system shutdowns and bootups? | 13:12 |

| b3rz3rk3r | spyder89, just specify a time after the cmd shutdown | 13:13 |
| Dr_Willis | bootups... never seen that done. :) | 13:13 |
| Dr_Willis | get a xmas tree timer? | 13:13 |

| Dr_Willis | noobez: and that 'sudp apt-get unrar' is Incorrect apt-get ussage. :) its 'sudo apt-get install PACKAAGENAME' | 13:19 |
| Dr_Willis | noobez: the pacage maanger is a front end to the various commands. it dosent 'do' rar.. it USES the rar commands. | 13:20 |

| Dr_Willis | noobez: dont remove it.. leave it alone | 13:25 |
| b3rz3rk3r | noobez, installing 7zip will just add that support to the Archiver | 13:25 |

| Dr_Willis | the 7zip package/binaries might not support all teh features the non-free rar binary supports either. | 13:25 |
| noobez | Dr_Willis: why should i leave it there? if i use 7zip what do i need another non-completely-working archive manager on my disk for? | 13:25 |
| Dr_Willis | noobez: go do what you want.. 7zip for linux has no GUI.. so have fun | 13:26 |
| b3rz3rk3r | noobez, just do: sudo apt-get install rar | 13:26 |
| Dr_Willis | noobez: the gui is handled by the archive manager.. | 13:26 |
| Dr_Willis | same as it does for rar | 13:26 |
| noobez | Dr_Willis: i've been always using 7zip and trust me it does recognize and work with EVERY different type of archive, there's like 20 of em in it | 13:26 |

| joaopinto | noobez, the 7zip package for linux is a command line utility, is is not the windows 7zip file manager | 13:27 |
| Dr_Willis | and ive found rar archives that ive HAD to use winrar.exe to extract. | 13:27 |
| noobez | Dr_Willis: i used to run kubuntu, now i have ubuntu | 13:27 |
| noobez | Dr_Willis: i dont mind about using it from cli, it's ok, ive always been doing it | 13:27 |
| Dr_Willis | !info unp | 13:27 |
| ubottu | unp (source: unp): unpack (almost) everything with one command. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.15 (jaunty), package size 10 kB, installed size 76 kB | 13:27 |
| joaopinto | 7zip provides 7z support to the archive manager | 13:27 |
| * Dr_Willis is lazy and uses 'unp' | 13:27 | |
| Orbixx | http://pastebin.com/d2d16cf44 - Anybody know why I am failing to connect to NX server right after it being installed on a fresh system? | 13:28 |
| Dr_Willis | !find p7zip | 13:28 |
| ubottu | Found: p7zip, p7zip-full, p7zip-rar | 13:28 |
| Dr_Willis | looks like theres a special rar addon for p7zip | 13:28 |
| b3rz3rk3r | Orbixx, wrong ip/hostname? | 13:28 |
| Orbixx | b3rz3rk3r: It connects, then fails during the negotiation. | 13:28 |
| noobez | Dr_Willis: btw ur telling me if i unistall archive manager, 7zip will not have a gui? it's not big deal for me but i can understand its more comfy to use it with a gui rather than without it, so if i leave archive manager there and install 7zip, archive manager will just be the gui for 7zip? this is what ur saying? | 13:29 |
| b3rz3rk3r | Orbixx, have you enabled remote control on the server? | 13:29 |
| b3rz3rk3r | noobez, yes | 13:29 |
| Orbixx | b3rz3rk3r: Can you elaborate on that? | 13:29 |
| Dr_Willis | noobez: 7zip 's gui is handled by the archive manaer tool. thats what the tool does.. its a gui to all the command line archive tools. | 13:30 |
| b3rz3rk3r | Orbixx, you have to enable the machine that you are trying to connect to , to accept remote connections and control, otherwise i believe that they reject it for security reasons | 13:30 |
| Dr_Willis | noobez: 7zip for linux does not have a gui like it does for windows by default. | 13:30 |
| bunny | hello, i'd like to know what partitioners are available in the ash evnironment from the ubuntu-8.04.3-server.iso livecd | 13:30 |
| Dr_Willis | noobez: archive manager is the GUI for ALL archive types. | 13:30 |
| Orbixx | b3rz3rk3r: I'd assume installing NX server would enable such a thing, as it allows connections in but fails on negotiation (which is my problem). | 13:30 |
| noobez | b3rz3rk3r: ok so lets say it so, what program is running "under" archive manager now? | 13:30 |
| Orbixx | I've followed multiple guides to the letter. | 13:30 |
| noobez | Dr_Willis: so what is running "under" archive manager at the moment? can i unistall that application since im not going to use it after ill have 7zip installed? | 13:31 |
| Dr_Willis | noobez: archive manager calls the proper command line archiveing tools as needed. | 13:31 |
| b3rz3rk3r | Orbixx, opened ports? allowed remote connections? | 13:31 |
| noobez | Dr_Willis: ah ok so its just running simple cli commands, i got it | 13:31 |
| Orbixx | b3rz3rk3r: Not behind NAT, no firewall. | 13:31 |
| Dr_Willis | noobez: yes its a 'front end' as we said earlier.. many tools work that way | 13:32 |
| b3rz3rk3r | Orbixx, NX is just a modified SSH, so can you SSH in? | 13:32 |
| bunny | erUSUL: are you there? | 13:32 |
| Orbixx | b3rz3rk3r: Yes. | 13:32 |
| noobez | Dr_Willis: got it, thanks for the explaination | 13:32 |
| erUSUL | bunny: hi | 13:32 |
| b3rz3rk3r | Orbixx, so then its a NX config error | 13:32 |
| bunny | ahh, hi, erUSUL | 13:32 |
| b3rz3rk3r | Orbixx, just double check your configs | 13:32 |
| Kjartan2 | Hello, I'm having a problem with the ubuntu server. I have installed pure-ftpd and created ftp-users. But I cannot log in onto pure-ftpd from anything else than this machine. Anyone know? I can access apache from other machines, but not ftp. | 13:33 |
| noobez | Dr_Willis: so what do u suggest in the end? 7zip or apt-get install unrar? | 13:33 |
| erUSUL | bunny: what's up ? | 13:33 |
| Dr_Willis | noobez: i install 'rar' normally | 13:33 |
| Orbixx | b3rz3rk3r: I would, but I don't know what to look for, the error given isn't really indicative of the problem. | 13:33 |
| Semplx | is anybody know how can I easily resize an XFS partition on Ubuntu (I'd like to do it in gparted)? | 13:33 |
| Dr_Willis | noobez: i suggest reading the urls on the archive manager given earlier.. and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/File%20Roller | 13:33 |
| b3rz3rk3r | Orbixx, does it ask you to accept fingerprints? | 13:33 |
| noobez | Dr_Willis: hmm ok | 13:33 |
| Orbixx | b3rz3rk3r: Yes. | 13:34 |
| Orbixx | Only the first time. | 13:34 |
| b3rz3rk3r | Orbixx, are you running it on a different port than 22? | 13:34 |
| Orbixx | No. | 13:34 |
| b3rz3rk3r | hmm | 13:34 |
| b3rz3rk3r | Orbixx, im sure you have checked this, but username and pass are correct right?? | 13:35 |
| Orbixx | Heh, triple checked. | 13:35 |
| Orbixx | You're more than welcome to SSH in if you want to / have the time to. | 13:35 |
| b3rz3rk3r | Orbixx, its the only reason i can think of given what you have told me that it reject the connection | 13:35 |
| Semplx | hm, does anybody know about gparted and XFS? | 13:36 |
| Orbixx | !ask Semplx | 13:36 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ask Semplx | 13:36 |

| b3rz3rk3r | !ask | Semplx | 13:36 |
| ubottu | Semplx: 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. :-) | 13:36 |
| Orbixx | Forgot the syntax :> | 13:36 |
| b3rz3rk3r | Orbixx, ;) | 13:37 |
| Orbixx | b3rz3rk3r: Do you have time to take a quick look, if you don't mind? | 13:37 |
| Orbixx | Just to make sure it's nothing obvious. | 13:37 |
| b3rz3rk3r | Orbixx, i can if you like, but if you say SSh works then there isnt much i can do | 13:37 |
| b3rz3rk3r | do you have VNC or RDP enabled? | 13:38 |
| Dr_Willis | Semplx: in many cases gparted needs support tools to use some filesystems. there may be some xfs tools it needs to fully work with xfs | 13:38 |
| Orbixx | b3rz3rk3r: Neither of them are installed/running. | 13:38 |
| Semplx | Dr_Willis: xfsprogs and xfs kernel module are installed | 13:38 |
| Orbixx | I'd use VNC, but it doesn't handle very well over WAN. | 13:38 |
| b3rz3rk3r | indeed | 13:38 |
| Orbixx | An RDP daemon for Linux would be awesome. | 13:38 |
| noobez | Dr_Willis: i installed the unrar-free from synaptic and now i can open .rar archives, thanks a lot bye | 13:40 |
| Semplx | omg, I read that XFS doesn't support shrinking | 13:40 |
| Orbixx | Protip: Don't use XFS. | 13:41 |

| b3rz3rk3r | Orbixx, im at a loss as to how to fix your NX issue, iv just remoted into my laptop with it to check and i cant see any reason why its rejected you, other than wrong name/pass. Have you created a user on the system, or are you using the uname/pass that was on there when you created it? | 13:44 |
| Dextorion | Kingsy101, alrighty. | 13:44 |

| grawity | llutz: Swap is useful for one thing, hibernation. | 14:04 |
| dn | there is no real problem per se, i just want to see how people have them configured | 14:04 |
| Jyxt | dn: yes | 14:04 |
| bla-bla | DJones, dn: My system is build using the EC2 Ami for 8.04. Next I update my system using my own repository on s3. So if I need to upgrade my system, I will need to load my repository with the new files. And run an apt-get upgrade from there. The best way to do this will be to know the upgraded packages that come with 9.04 right? | 14:04 |

| dn | that's possible right? | 14:05 |
| Dr_Willis | dn: its done all the time. :) | 14:05 |
| Trijntje | mehedi: give us more details, dont just repeat. Do you want to keep windows? do you want to keep ubuntu, how much free space do you have left? | 14:05 |

| Mikael_Jensen | Hello Ubuntu People. Having serious problems with network on my newly install 9.04/64/Server. Routing dies if the network is not used for some time (~5 minutes). I can ping gateway, but not outside. I can keep routing alive (indefinitely?) by setting a continues ping to an outside host. But few minutes after i kill the ping, the routing dies. What could be wrong here? (more info: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p | 14:06 |
| mehedi | Ya i want to keep both OS. i have left 100GB free space | 14:06 |
| Dr_Willis | dn: defainatly upgrade to a dvi monitor.. :) | 14:06 |
| grawity | ragi: http://ithi.nk/that?youre=gonna+get&ignorelist'd | 14:06 |
| dn | well i got the wide and its dvi and i have no other use for the old one so i set up dual | 14:07 |
| cornet | szccsdccd: strange, I was going to suggest MTU issues but I don't think that's the case now | 14:07 |
| cornet | szccsdccd: sorry - out of ideas | 14:07 |
| dn | any idea about watching media across both monitors? | 14:07 |
| Dr_Willis | dn: window your media player display and streatch it out? | 14:07 |
| dn | that's ab it of a work around | 14:08 |
| Curly_Q | Experimental is OK on one computer, but in an Corporate environment, BACKUP and UPTIME is crucial. | 14:08 |
| Dr_Willis | dn: i did that with 'quakelive' :) and some other games... | 14:08 |
| b3rz3rk3r | dn or sell it to me for cheap? i could do with more monitors :p | 14:08 |
| Trijntje | mehedi: you should than resize your partitions so that you have enough free space, and use that space to install fedora | 14:08 |
| dn | quakelive is rather nice | 14:08 |
| Dr_Willis | I need a bigger desk.. and a card that can handle 3+ monitors | 14:08 |
| Dr_Willis | Are there single nvidia cards that have 3+ dvi outs? | 14:09 |
| Curly_Q | Dr Willis, there is a network daemon that can do that through networking and not through one NIC card. | 14:09 |
| b3rz3rk3r | Dr_Willis, even high-end cards only have 2 outputs afaik | 14:09 |
| Dr_Willis | Curly_Q: if you mean syngery - ive done that befor. :) ive trimmed down the # of pc's in this room.. i dont want to add mroe. heh | 14:09 |
| b3rz3rk3r | Dr_Willis, got a GTX280 OC'd with 2x DVi outs and S-vid | 14:09 |
| Dr_Willis | b3rz3rk3r: tv out works with the DVI? I cant have all 3 going at the same time | 14:10 |
| Curly_Q | Dr Willis get a rack. | 14:10 |
| b3rz3rk3r | Dr_Willis, yes, works fine | 14:10 |
| b3rz3rk3r | Dr_Willis, what card do you have? | 14:10 |
| dn | btw | 14:11 |
| Dr_Willis | I think its an 8800gtsxxx - i got it some time back.. | 14:11 |
| Dr_Willis | when the 8800's were 'new' | 14:11 |
| Dr_Willis | so its a bit dated now | 14:11 |
| dn | if i have my nonwide monitor to the left "primary" and its 1280x1024 i can have my wide screen at its full resolution 1400~x900~ | 14:11 |
| dn | but when wide is on the left, the monitor on the right choops off everything after 900px | 14:12 |
| bl00z | Dr_Willis hey | 14:12 |

| __theIdiotBox | hello everyone! | 14:12 |
| OnSi | __theldiotBox , Hello! | 14:12 |
| Dr_Willis | dn: i got the 'shorter' display on my right also. there will be some 'dead' zone and you may lose the panel in some cases if the shorter monitor is the primary | 14:13 |
| grouse | Anyone know if their is linux driver support for usb multi-display adapters? | 14:13 |
| Curly_Q | Dr Willis, I have here what is called a: "Sharing Switch" made by Belkin. It is called: "Omni View." Have you heard of them? | 14:13 |
| Dr_Willis | Curly_Q: nope. never used any of those hardware type KVm;s | 14:13 |
| dn | odd | 14:14 |
| Curly_Q | I can run 5 monitors from that device. | 14:14 |
| bl00z | Dr_Willis: I did all things possible, but dual monitor didnt work | 14:14 |
| Jyxt | synergy works well enough | 14:14 |
| Curly_Q | No software needed. | 14:14 |
| bl00z | I installed the new kernel version | 14:14 |
| dn | before my right, taller, monitor (1024 horizontal) had dead space at the bottom | 14:14 |
| dn | but now the dead space is on my left wide monitor.. to the right.. | 14:14 |

| ksool | matt132, http://www.debian.org/distrib/archive | 15:54 |
| mbeierl | speaking of cifs.... does Ubuntu support showing the real owner and group of files over cifs? or can it only show (root,root) or the uid/gid specified in the mount option? | 15:55 |
| grawity | Jonii3: First, smbclient -L thathostname | 15:55 |
| blade | Good Afternoon every one | 15:55 |
| grawity | mbeierl: I think that would need to be supported by both sides. | 15:55 |
| xjkx | sipior: is it expensive, and where do i usually find services like that ? | 15:55 |
| grawity | mbeierl: See, CIFS was orignally SMB, the Windows file sharing protocol, so it supports only Windows NT ACLs. (Samba does attempt to map those to POSIX ACLs) | 15:56 |
| sipior | xjkx: fairly expensive, yes. you'll want to google for a data recovery service for rates, &cet. | 15:56 |

| roygbiv | on my 9.04 box i have made changed to /etc/sysctl.conf but they seem to be ignored. any suggestions for me here? | 16:38 |
| grawity | roygbiv: Did you reboot? | 16:38 |
| jgoo | matt132, go lubuntu, it is 300 something mb | 16:38 |
| roygbiv | grawity several times | 16:38 |
| * paperclip googles lubuntu | 16:38 | |
| jgoo | if you all knew how to reddit, you'd have downloaded lubuntu by now! | 16:39 |

| yaaar | hey guys, i'm having trouble installing 8.04 LTS on a Dell PowerEdge T105 (quad-core opteron). it boots the cd and asks me for language/keyboard, but then it says the installation cd couldn't be mounted. i've dropped to a shell and attempted to mount it manually but i get 'invalid argument' | 16:39 |
| Jimmey | !ubotu hi | 16:39 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ubotu hi | 16:39 |
| deviant-route | hello all | 16:39 |
| jgoo | matt132, why trying to fix it? to get data? | 16:39 |
| paperclip | jgoo: is that icewm? | 16:39 |
| ChristianAdamski | may I point out my system-doesn't-power-off-with-wlan-on problem above again? | 16:39 |
| jgoo | paperclip, LXDE | 16:39 |
| yaaar | anybody know how i can work around that? i tried some of the kernel options mentioned in the help screen, but without effect. i'm not 100% that I was putting them in right | 16:40 |
| paperclip | jgoo: and what's it using for the wm? | 16:40 |
| jgoo | openbox | 16:40 |
| roygbiv | yaaar maybe a bad cd? burn a new one and see what happens | 16:40 |
| jgoo | paperclip, I think openbox flavor | 16:40 |
| paperclip | jgoo: ahh.. hmm | 16:40 |
| kioska | antonius daniel | 16:41 |
| paperclip | jgoo: that looks promising.. thanks for mentioning it :D | 16:41 |
| yaaar | roygbiv: i've tried it with two different discs burned from two different computers. also, when i was at the shell i put in a random data cd and it wouldn't mount that either | 16:41 |
| roygbiv | aah ok | 16:41 |
| matt132 | jgoo...no, it's for a person in my church, trying to get it running for her daughter (homework basics: word processing, spreadsheets and maybe a little internet) | 16:41 |
| jgoo | paperclip, reddit.com | 16:41 |
| paperclip | matt132: that looks perfect for you.. | 16:41 |
| paperclip | jgoo: yeah... looks like it just got released. | 16:41 |
| jgoo | matt132, if you spend 2 hours on it, you might as well go out and buy a $100 machine | 16:41 |
| paperclip | heh.. true | 16:42 |
| jgoo | not worth your time, considering the problems you'll have with it | 16:42 |
| paperclip | where do you get a $100 machine tho? | 16:42 |
| matt132 | or 100$ for that matter | 16:42 |
| jgoo | Walmart sell $100 don't they? matt132 you don't have $100??!?!!?!!!!!! | 16:42 |
| paperclip | i've not seen a $100 machine.. but could be.. | 16:43 |
| matt132 | times are tough, so we make due...jgoo, this machine is not for me. | 16:43 |
| jgoo | matt132, but, if you spend 2 - 3 hours... you've lost that time | 16:44 |
| jgoo | so you might as well spend money, and spend 30 minutes buying a good one :-) | 16:44 |
| caonimagebi | hi problem with ubuntu 9.04 and ew-7318usg, ew-7318usg work like a charm with 8.10 but not with 9.04 ? any good tips ? | 16:44 |

| jez | for some reason I can't get my SMB share to work on Ubuntu | 16:46 |
| jez | i have right-clicked my folder, and done 'sharing options', clicked to share the folder and given it a name | 16:46 |
| jez | from my windows box which is connected to the Ubuntu box though, i can't access the share, i just get no response | 16:47 |
| jez | any idea what could be wrong? | 16:47 |
| jez | i can ping the box | 16:47 |
| mweichert | anyone use mdadm? | 16:47 |
| lianimator | how can I find how which device is for which mounted external drive? for example, when I put in an usb drive, /media/DATA/ is the folder, but which /dev/sd? is it? | 16:47 |
| ikonia | mweichert: what's up ? | 16:47 |
| genii | jez: Have you specifically installed Samba? Default install does not include the samba server, only the client so your Ubuntu box can surf windows' shares out of the box | 16:47 |
| jez | i did samba | 16:48 |
| w2_ | we | 16:48 |
| jez | although it's not on the graphical add/remove apps | 16:48 |
| unop | lianimator, use the 'mount' command | 16:48 |
| paperclip | lianimator: mount | 16:48 |
| mweichert | ikonia, when creating an array, disks are referenced by partitions rather than the disks themselves in all examples I see. For example, a disk would be referenced using /dev/sdc1 rather than /dev/sdc. Why? Do I have to create some partition on the disks before I create the array? | 16:48 |
| jez | I ran sudo apt-get install samba | 16:48 |
| genii | jez: So the result of: apt-cache policy samba shows 100% it is installed? | 16:48 |

| === MadMax is now known as Guest3801 | ||
| mickster04 | hey | 16:49 |
| tuxologie | hi | 16:49 |
| ikonia | mweichert: it's better to use partitions, there is a long explination for it (which I can't remember without research) but creating a partition that spans the disk is the way to do it | 16:49 |
| jez | it comes up with some stuff, how do i know whether it's 100% installed? :-) | 16:49 |
| jrivera | mweichart: i think you have to create the partitions first | 16:49 |
| padi999 | How can I use the VGA display port to display something that comes from ANOTHER graphics card to display at the screen of my laptop? Meaning: The laptop just acts as a simple screen | 16:49 |
| lianimator | paperclip: with what flags please? | 16:49 |
| mweichert | ikonia, ok thanks I cannot find any reference to that. is there a specific type of partition? | 16:50 |
| jez | samba: installed: 2:3.3.2-1ubuntu3.1 | 16:50 |
| ikonia | padi999: you can't | 16:50 |
| unop | lianimator, no flags needed | 16:50 |
| paperclip | lianimator: you don't need no stinking flags | 16:50 |
| genii | jez: A line like: *** 2:3.4.0-3ubuntu1 0 with the asterisks means it is installed | 16:50 |
| ikonia | mweichert: no, just partition type "fd" linux auto raid | 16:50 |
| jez | yeah it seems to be | 16:50 |
| jez | 2:3.3.2-1 | 16:50 |
| padi999 | ikonia: damn, really? I always have to get a screen to debug my server *g | 16:50 |
| jrivera | sfdisk -d /dev/sda | /dev/sdc? | 16:50 |
| ikonia | mweichert: does that partition type make sense to you ? | 16:51 |
| mweichert | ikonia, yeap. | 16:51 |
| ikonia | mweichert: cool | 16:51 |
| lianimator | unop: paperclip: so I'll need to parse the output again? I do mount /media/DATA/ it saids /dev/sdb1 is already mounted.. mount failed | 16:51 |
| jpb0104 | in apt - how do i list packages that need upgraded? | 16:51 |

| unop | lianimator, just type mount and it should show you what's mounted | 16:52 |
| jez | yes | 16:52 |
| mweichert | ikonia, thanks. I thought maybe I did something wrong because I tried removing a disk from my array, and re-adding it - but I'm having problems when I try to re-add: mdadm: cannot find valid superblock in this array - HELP | 16:52 |

| lianimator | unop: sort of. figuring out a way for conky to show the stats of mounted external drives | 16:54 |
| genii | jez: Have you added Samba users? On CLI is usually something like: sudo smbpasswd -a username && sudo smbpasswd -e username (add then enable). a restart of samba after this is also required with something like sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart | 16:54 |

| pierref1 | Hi | 16:54 |
| grawity | jez: system-config-samba | 16:54 |
| ikonia | mweichert: a file system has many super blocks on it | 16:54 |
| unop | lianimator, you might like to use the df command then. df -Th | grep "/media/DATA" | 16:54 |

| Guest2426 | any use freej+icecast? | 16:55 |
| ikonia | mweichert: to add a disk to an array the superblock shouldn't matter, what mdadm command are you using to add ? | 16:55 |

| kn100 | Paschu, your issue? | 17:14 |
| Paschu | i repeat it | 17:15 |
| ikonia | mweichert: you're meant to do an mdadm --detail > mdadm.conf | 17:15 |
| cyclinder | files from trash are beeing kept somewhere on the filesystem | 17:15 |
| cyclinder | and I have no .local folder | 17:15 |
| mweichert | ikonia, yes I just read that :( | 17:15 |
| yaaar | anybody know why the 8.04LTS server installer says it can't mount the cdrom? it's the amd64 version on a quad-core opteron dell server. i've tried two discs... | 17:15 |
| cyclinder | what can I do? | 17:15 |
| untermensch | cyclinder: right click on the trash bin icon, and select empty trash | 17:15 |
| ikonia | mweichert: ahhh, there is a way to get the information, let me see if I can find it, it's pretty obscure | 17:15 |
| cyclinder | its in gray | 17:15 |
| Paschu | kn100, im in the internetz with my ubuntu but suddenly the connection brakes | 17:15 |
| untermensch | cyclinder: do you still not have disk space? | 17:15 |
| cyclinder | can't do it | 17:15 |
| sebsebseb | cyclinder: ah yes this can happen | 17:15 |
| jopojop | how do I install a newer version of software which is not in the repository | 17:15 |
| cyclinder | on my other hds yes | 17:15 |
| jussi01 | ubottu: test | 17:16 |
| ubottu | yes, I'm alive. | 17:16 |
| cyclinder | on my main no | 17:16 |
| Halitech | cyclinder, did you delete something as root? | 17:16 |
| cyclinder | on the others I delete trash-0 | 17:16 |
| kn100 | jopojop, enable backports or find a .deb of the newer version | 17:16 |
| cyclinder | and its done | 17:16 |
| kn100 | what program are you looking to upgrade? | 17:16 |
| cyclinder | is there trash-o somewhere on the ubuntu main hd? | 17:16 |
| sebsebseb | CyberSix: yeah trash-0 you mean in a hidden .folder in home or something? | 17:16 |
| kn100 | if its firefox, look for ubuntuzilla | 17:16 |
| Padhu | I want to upload mobile numbers nearly 200 from openoffice spread sheet to sim using SLVR L9. wammu shows phone and sim list. but i can't create an new sim contact | 17:16 |
| jopojop | what is backports and how do I do that | 17:16 |
| kn100 | jopojop, unofficial updates to packages | 17:16 |
| kn100 | administration > software sources | 17:17 |
| kn100 | then tick back ports | 17:17 |
| coldboot | Is there a log of packages updated with the package update manager? | 17:17 |
| jopojop | aha, thank you I'll try that | 17:17 |
| cyclinder | can anyone help? | 17:17 |
| kn100 | what are you trying to upgrade btw? | 17:17 |
| Paschu | hm | 17:17 |
| kn100 | if you are trying to do firefox 3.5 the easiest way is ubuntuzilla | 17:17 |
| mweichert | ikonia, II'm not sure I understand the true definition of raid disks vs spare disks either. To start, I want to have three disks mirrored. After the initial mirror, I want to remove one of the disk and take it offsite. Then after a week passes, I'll bring it back in - disconnect another drive to take home, and reattach the previous drive - so again I'll have two raid devices | 17:17 |
| Paschu | its so important | 17:17 |
| FoolishOwl | I tried to compile using "gcc -o hello hello.cpp" and got errors. "g++ -o hello hello.cpp" worked fine. Shouldn't gcc recognize that it was C++ from the file name? | 17:17 |
| Halitech | cyclinder, there will be a trash folder in the /root folder if you deleted something as root | 17:18 |
| kn100 | Paschu, ask in the forums | 17:18 |
| sebsebseb | cyclinder: hmm see above I messaged CyberSix by mistake | 17:18 |
| Paschu | i dont have the time to do that | 17:18 |
| jopojop | kn100: what is ubuntuzilla | 17:18 |
| Padhu | I want to upload mobile numbers nearly 200 from openoffice spread sheet to sim using SLVR L9. wammu shows phone and sim list. but i can't create an new sim contact | 17:18 |
| Padhu | proq: scp is useful if you have an linux OS in both side. but source machine must have ssh server | 17:18 |
| Inf_lappy_ | FoolishOwl, in a word: no. | 17:18 |
| Inf_lappy_ | g++ is for C++. gcc is for C. | 17:18 |
| cyclinder | cant't find it sebse | 17:19 |
| cyclinder | say again | 17:19 |
| FoolishOwl | Inf_lappy, so that was normal, expected behavior? | 17:19 |
| kn100 | jopojop, ubuntuzilla is a python script that will update your firefox install to the newest one from the site without the silly shiretoko branding | 17:19 |
| === kb is now known as Guest77345 | ||
| proq | Padhu: I know... I use scp several times a day | 17:19 |
| kn100 | jopojop, just google for ubuntuzilla, and follow the instructions | 17:19 |
| Inf_lappy_ | FoolishOwl, yes. that is normal | 17:19 |
| cyclinder | yes | 17:19 |
| FoolishOwl | Thanks. | 17:19 |
| cyclinder | hideen on my other hds | 17:19 |
| proq | Padhu: it's useful whether you're on windows, os x or linux. but I have windows-heads here at my day job | 17:19 |
| sebsebseb | cyclinder: yeah trash-0 you mean in a hidden .folder in home or something? | 17:19 |
| cyclinder | if it where one on my main ubuntu hd | 17:19 |
| cyclinder | I would just delete it | 17:19 |
| cyclinder | and get the disk space back | 17:19 |
| sebsebseb | cyclinder: delete from the hidden folder? | 17:19 |
| cyclinder | is there any? | 17:20 |
| cyclinder | delete the folder yes | 17:20 |
| jopojop | thank you kn100 | 17:20 |
| cyclinder | my final solution I am stuck | 17:20 |
| kn100 | jopojop, :D | 17:20 |
| cyclinder | yes | 17:20 |
| Halitech | cyclinder, there will be a trash folder in the /root folder if you deleted something as root | 17:20 |
| proq | Padhu: anyhow, smbget -a smb://debp/PUBLIC/foo.tar gets the job done | 17:20 |
| cyclinder | on home yes | 17:20 |
| sebsebseb | cyclinder: this kind of thing has happended to me before if I remember correctly, when for example I deleted something in Ubuntu from the VIsta partition | 17:20 |
| cyclinder | where is /root? | 17:21 |
| coldboot | Is there a log for packages that are updated with the update manager? | 17:21 |
| cyclinder | you ment /user? | 17:21 |
| Halitech | cyclinder, /root | 17:21 |
| jopojop | enabling backports mean all software installs will use latest backports? What if I only would like to have lates for some software? | 17:21 |
| cyclinder | I do /root on nautilus and I get nothing | 17:21 |
| s1lverl0rd | @cyclinder: You have to be root to see it. | 17:22 |
| sebsebseb | cyclinder: / is the file system and that's known as root | 17:22 |
| cyclinder | oh | 17:22 |
| cyclinder | whats the pass? | 17:22 |
| cyclinder | for root | 17:22 |
| s1lverl0rd | @cyclinder: Try Alt > F2, then gksu nautilus | 17:22 |
| IdleOne | !root | cyclinder | 17:22 |
| ubottu | cyclinder: 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 | 17:22 |
| Halitech | cyclinder, press ALT + F2 enter gksudo nautilus and then browse to /root | 17:22 |
| jopojop | will whole system upgrade to backports when I do software updates? | 17:22 |
| sebsebseb | cyclinder: you don't need to go into /root to delete stuff, did I even know about /root hmm | 17:22 |
| jopojop | (I'm new on this) | 17:22 |
| cyclinder | doesn't work with xchat | 17:23 |
| sebsebseb | jopojop: you don't normalely neeed backports enabled, in fact it tends not to do much good, what are you trying to install? | 17:23 |
| cyclinder | I need to reboot brb | 17:23 |
| Halitech | sebsebseb, if he used sudo to delete anything thats where it would go | 17:23 |
| cyclinder | its /root | 17:23 |
| cyclinder | right? | 17:23 |
| FloodBot2 | cyclinder: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 17:23 |
| jopojop | latest bzr and maybe Firefox | 17:23 |
| Halitech | cyclinder, correct | 17:23 |
| cyclinder | brb | 17:23 |
| sebsebseb | Halitech: ah ok | 17:23 |
| Crash1hd | where do automounts mount too? | 17:24 |
| Paschu | need help! The wireless lan connection brakes suddenly - what 2 do? | 17:24 |
| unop | Crash1hd, under /media usually | 17:24 |
| Halitech | Crash1hd, usually /media | 17:24 |
| sebsebseb | !wireless | Paschu | 17:24 |
| ubottu | Paschu: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 17:24 |
| sebsebseb | Paschu: maybe useless also | 17:24 |
| jopojop | in Windows you just download and install the version you want | 17:24 |
| frede | How can I add windows 7 to grub? | 17:25 |
| proq | my sound is always turned down to 5% and muted when I reboot. how do I get it to stay at 50% unmuted? | 17:25 |
| sebsebseb | frede: Why? and there's an example entry for adding Windows in the menu.lst gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 17:25 |
| Crash1hd | unop: Halitech: thankyou both (Either of you know why a hdd that shows up as /dev/sdb1 doesnt show up in nautilus under computer? | 17:26 |
| Beefcaked | hi guys, on the upper right of the screen i see the name i typed in during the ubuntu installation and also an icon which represents my current status | 17:26 |
| frede | sebsebseb, i keep getting some device error :( | 17:26 |
| Halitech | Crash1hd, its not mounted? | 17:26 |
| Crash1hd | Halitech: no its not | 17:26 |
| Beefcaked | what is the status thing for? am i part of some social network because i have choices like away, invisible, etc? | 17:26 |
| Paschu | ill ask later again | 17:26 |
| unop | Crash1hd, usually only removable media are automounted -- is this device removable? | 17:26 |
| Crash1hd | Halitech: thing is neither is the 320 or the 250 gb drives but they show up as a mountable drive but the 1tb doesnt | 17:26 |
| mweichert | how do I stop usb drives from being automounted? | 17:26 |
| Crash1hd | unop: ahhh | 17:27 |
| sebsebseb | !grub | frede | 17:27 |
| ubottu | frede: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 17:27 |
| grouse | beefcaked, problem pidgin auto logging you in to msn/gtalk or whatever | 17:27 |
| frede | sebsebseb, I better look into that, ty | 17:27 |
| Crash1hd | unop: Halitech: thats why the 2 drives the 320 and the 250 are on removable sata ports and the 1tb isnt :) ok thankyou (thought I was going crazy there for a min) | 17:27 |
| grouse | *probably | 17:27 |
| sebsebseb | frede: ok no probs | 17:28 |
| Beefcaked | oh okay, so it has something to do with pidgin, i get it, thanks | 17:28 |
| scoates | hello. | 17:29 |
| scoates | any idea where I can get the create database schema for postfix-policyd? I don't seem to have the proper database, and my searching was fruitless. | 17:29 |
| grouse | beefcaked, yep, pidgin is integrated with the user switcher in 8.10 upwards | 17:29 |
| jopojop | guess I should go find some text about software installs in Ubuntu, the alternatives I know of so far are package repositories and source code compilation, I don't understand any of them very well :) :) | 17:29 |
| kielanmatt | hi all | 17:29 |
| padi999 | Hey guys. I have an encrypted hdd which does not mount at boot (not in fstab), now I want to use mount --bind with some folders after a manual mount. Do I have to script that? | 17:29 |
| kielanmatt | is It possible that the nvidia official drivers are fucked? | 17:30 |
| s1lverl0rd | @kielanmatt: possible? probable. | 17:30 |
| kielanmatt | y? | 17:30 |
| kielanmatt | probable? | 17:30 |
| kielanmatt | i tried both 173 and 180 | 17:31 |
| jopojop | what's a PPA? | 17:31 |
| kielanmatt | and my app seems to fail only on my PC | 17:31 |
| stercor | What application (except Nautilus, it changes my session too much) shows icons of files and displays them correctly according to file type. | 17:31 |
| xover | guys, does internet connection sharing use NAT? | 17:31 |
| grawity | It does | 17:31 |
| kannan01 | can we integrate thunderbird in panel clock.. | 17:31 |
| xover | why isnt IP_masquerading enabled then? | 17:31 |
| grouse | jobojop, its an acronym for personal package archive | 17:32 |
| sayanriju | stercor, there are loads of alternative file managers | 17:32 |
| panfist | i'm trying to ssh into an ubuntu server running ssh and i see the error message "permission denied (a list of authentication methods)" | 17:32 |

| mostafa_ | hello there I have a problem when I want to play a music on the headphone it plays the music on both headphone and speakers what should I do? | 17:32 |
| panfist | what does this list mean? were those methods available, unavailabale? attempted? | 17:32 |
| sayanriju | stercor, pcmanfm, thunar, xfe,....ad infinitum | 17:32 |
| mostafa_ | plz | 17:32 |
| Crash1hd | how do you see the owner I know chown changes the owner but if I just want to view it? | 17:32 |
| grawity | frede: the /dev one? sudo blkid, or maybe sudo fdisk -l | 17:32 |
| grawity | Crash1hd: ls -l | 17:32 |
| sczgilae | anybody knows how to configure kubuntu 9.04 to re-measure automatically the K panel according to the screen? | 17:32 |
| Crash1hd | grawity: ahh yes thanks :) | 17:33 |
| grawity | Crash1hd: Or stat -c %U somefile | 17:33 |
| stercor | sayanriju: I need a (few) names... | 17:33 |
| sebsebseb | jopojop: basically for later packages you can use a ppa, but ppa's can also sometimes cause problems, so you shoudn't install to many | 17:33 |
| kielanmatt | would changing my drivers help? | 17:33 |
| frede | grawity, well, the one i need to add to grub | 17:33 |
| kielanmatt | or changing ubuntu version | 17:33 |
| grawity | frede: Hmm | 17:33 |
| grawity | frede: Use 'sudo blkid', and add the UUID instead | 17:33 |
| sebsebseb | jopojop: or you wait for a later Ubuntu for a later version of the program, or install in another way | 17:33 |
| kannan01 | can we integrate thunderbird in panel clock... | 17:34 |
| mostafa_ | hello there I have a problem when I want to play a music on the headphone it plays the music on both headphone and speakers what should I do? | 17:34 |
| sayanriju | stercor, Try pcmanfm and thunar to start with | 17:34 |
| sebsebseb | jopojop: ,but they are basically little repos that can be added | 17:34 |
| frede | grawity, ok, i have the UUID how to add that? | 17:34 |
| kielanmatt | dudes seriously answear my question | 17:35 |
| paperclip | dues | 17:35 |
| panfist | >> is append and > is overwrite, right? | 17:35 |
| paperclip | er.. dudes | 17:35 |
| grouse | mostafa, you could manually mute the speaker channel with alsamixer | 17:35 |
| outbri | I've got a question I'm not sure which channel to ask in. How can I change my root password (if I have another account with root privileges) from grub? | 17:35 |
| sebsebseb | !patience | kielanmatt | 17:35 |
| ubottu | kielanmatt: 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. | 17:35 |

| ubottu | amee2k: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages | 17:46 |
| lenswipe | guest_007, not sure what you mean | 17:46 |
| grawity | padi999: 'ftp' probably defaults to active mode | 17:46 |
| guest_007 | Beefcaked: the best practice - to install everything by default. it's pretty good and you definitely won't break anything | 17:46 |
| grawity | padi999: FTP has two modes: active (server connects to client for data transfers) and passive (client connects to server) | 17:46 |
| genii | amee2k: Also be warned that if you run your own custom kernel, support may be hard to come by | 17:47 |

| Inf_lappy_ | ziker, firefox-3.0 will remain "firefox" on ubuntu until karmic (at least). i _believe_ it's policy not to have two different versions with the firefox branding. hence 3.5 goes by the codename "shiretoko" | 18:07 |
| grawity | xim_: It outputs text like any other program, and can be redirected that way. | 18:07 |

| ubottu | You can browse and search for Ubuntu packages using !Synaptic, !Adept, "apt-cache search <keywords or regex>", or online at http://packages.ubuntu.com - Ubuntu has about 20000 packages available, so please *search* for an official package before installing things in awkward ways! | 18:28 |
| burlancaster | thank you | 18:28 |
| __theIdiotBox | MichelFX23, thats get done automatically, right? you dont have to make it do "automatically" | 18:28 |
| Beefcaked | why is compiling called an awkward way of installing things?] | 18:28 |
| MichelFX23 | understand | 18:29 |

| cmp | my modem is Vodafone k3520 and it was working fine when i installed my ubuntu for the first time - but when i upgraded my ubuntu - the modem is pluged and recognized but always asking for a password that i dont have any password on my ubuntu - it gives me this error all the time - and i really need to work with it as i have to restart with XP to connect it in case if i want to be online , i need help with it please | 18:29 |

| kannan01 | is there any way to remind birthdays during startup? | 18:29 |
| del_diablo | Beefcaked: you can forget that you even installed it and then remove the installere which in irony most of the time also is the uninstaller. Besides, it is not as flexible as a repos(so long its updated quick enough). | 18:29 |
| Beefcaked | alien: well i just started using linux and ubuntu the other day | 18:30 |
| Pici | ph33r: It includes at least all the packages for the main and universe repositories, let me check if any of the other repositories are in there too | 18:30 |
| RockNRolla | someone know how to enable front jacks with alsa SigmaTel 92HD206X Ati-HDA ? | 18:31 |
| __theIdiotBox | kannan01, have some scripts and put whatever you want in that script....and add them in say ~/.bash_login | 18:31 |
| alien | Beefcaked: most linux distros rely on their own packaging, so that updates(and not only) are handled in an uniform manner | 18:31 |
| sebsebseb | Beefcaked: compiling installing something from source can be a little awkward yes, because of dependancies and such, basically other packages/programs that also have to be installed | 18:31 |
| ph33r | Pici: yeah the repos are present, but not the packages ? it didn't let me choose the packages | 18:31 |
| ph33r | Pici: so does ubuntu a full dvd version too ? | 18:31 |
| amee2k | LOL! | 18:31 |
| sebsebseb | Beefcaked: if you use a Deb though, things tend to just take care of them selves, when you download from the repo, your downloading and installing a Deb | 18:31 |

| sebsebseb | Beefcaked: and you don't use Debian Debs in Ubuntu | 18:33 |

| Halitech | sebsebseb, I know, figured the question was coming so asked with the ;) on the end | 18:35 |
| Pici | Halitech: Because we do not have the same package names so you *will* have problems with dependencies. | 18:35 |
| garchotron | deitarion, dunno what version i'm using, but is equiv to the last chrome | 18:35 |
| del_diablo | deitarion: but it is a really decent browser! Also, just looking for a browser? What about seamonkey or its name? | 18:35 |
| alien | still, some packages that don't have many dependencies _may_ work | 18:35 |
| garchotron | it is the one that's in a repo listed in the ubuntutweak app | 18:35 |
| Halitech | Pici, see my previous post | 18:35 |

| sebsebseb | Beefcaked: thouands of programs available at your finger tips to install via synaptic or using commands, so normalley you only need to install stuff from the repos | 18:36 |

| deitarion | del_diablo: As for "really decent browser", if I were willing to let user experience trump freedom, I'd be using a Mac. Linux drives me up the wall sometimes, but I'm probably second only to RMS in how seriously I take open-source. (I'm willing to make exceptions, but only grudgingly) | 18:37 |

| sebsebseb | Beefcaked: that's the other thing, because Linux does not have enough market share yet on the desktop, not all hardware manufactures suppourt it properly yet | 18:37 |

| cdoublejj | hi sockpants | 18:58 |

| cmp | guntbert , i did and iam back | 18:58 |
| stranger_in | SultansElephant, have u ever tried the terminal way..... | 18:58 |
| grawity | mweichert: That's why there is /dev/disk/by-uuid/ | 18:58 |
| JaneDoe | cdoublejj: yep. checked that and the device isn't listed there | 18:58 |
| lenswipe | does anyone know how to change the resolution of my screen using command line its set really low and i cant change it... | 18:59 |

| lenswipe | Halitech, its not even that - its 640x480 | 19:25 |
| Halitech | lenswipe, even after hooking up the larger monitor and rebooting? | 19:25 |
| lenswipe | Halitech, and even after reboot if i go into the screen resolution thing thats the only option on the list | 19:25 |
| groobu | lol i posted all my outputs above | 19:25 |
| Halitech | lenswipe, what video card? | 19:25 |
| mimor | Is it possible to list dns servers int /etc/networking/interfaces? | 19:25 |
| Beefcaked | Halitech: but through other people i have managed to grab ricoh-webcam-r5u870-2.6.20-16-generic_0.10.0-3_i386.deb and r5u87x-881.tar.gz | 19:26 |
| groobu | is there a way i can reassign logical device names for the networking devices? | 19:26 |
| lenswipe | Halitech, idk some inbuilt intel thing i think - its using the vesa driver... | 19:26 |
| Thingymebob | growthmetal: pastebin sudo lshw | 19:26 |
| Beefcaked | Halitech: thing is... the deb doesnt install too well | 19:26 |
| groobu | cuz lshw -C is showing that the bcm4318 driver is present but does not have a logical device name assigned so therefore it cannot be referenced | 19:26 |
| Thingymebob | growthmetal: & lspci for me | 19:26 |
| groobu | i would assume something like /etc/network/interfaces but am unsure | 19:26 |
| Halitech | Beefcaked, what happens when you try to install the deb? | 19:26 |

| lenswipe | Halitech, its says "Rather than communicating directly with the video hardware, the X server may be configured to perform some operations such as video mode switching, via the kernels framebuffer driver. In theory either approach should work, but in practice sometimes one does and the other does not. Enabling this option is the safe ben but feel free to turn it off and if it appers to cause problems.

Users of sun type 4 and type 5 keyboards however should enter sun. Experienced users can use any defined XKB rule set.

| lake_ | I would like to use the Broadcom BCM5700 driver per this page: http://feisty-manpages.uid0.hu/feisty-manpages/39257/bge.html --- Can anyone give me some guidance? I'm not sure how to install that driver. | 19:36 |
| Thingymebob | growthmetal: You're right it ain't in there, there should be an Atheros AR242 (PCI) in there somewhere but I can't see it | 19:36 |
| growthmetal | Thingymebob: so what next? | 19:36 |
| guntbert | cmp: in that dialog type your user password in the first line and leave the other two lines empty - so the keyring has no password from now on (its a security risk, but if you only store your password for mobile...) | 19:36 |
| Beefcaked | Halitech: linux-image-2.6.28-15-generic is already the newest version. | 19:36 |
| lenswipe | Halitech, its asking for keyboard model now what do i put in there? its set to pc105 right now..." | 19:36 |
| * Thingymebob thinks | 19:36 | |
| Halitech | lenswipe, leave it at pc105 | 19:37 |
| lenswipe | k | 19:37 |
| lenswipe | Halitech, its now asking for keyboard variant... what do i put in? | 19:37 |
| Thingymebob | growthmetal: Is there a switch or key combination on your machine to powere up the wireless? | 19:37 |
| devkhadka | is there any way to boot unutnu by using grub of fedora | 19:37 |
| growthmetal | Thingymebob: yes | 19:38 |
| anqee|home | Hi! | 19:38 |
| sebsebseb | devkhadka: edit menu.lst and put in the entry for Ubuntu? | 19:38 |
| pradeep | anyone familiar with iptables | 19:38 |
| growthmetal | Thingymebob: I've tried pushing it but it stays orange; turns blue in vista | 19:38 |
| Royall_ | how would I remove a directory and everything in it through terminal? | 19:38 |
| sebsebseb | !iptables | pradeep | 19:38 |
| ubottu | pradeep: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist | 19:38 |
| lenswipe | pradeep, /j #iptables? | 19:38 |
| Royall_ | rm and rmdir don't work | 19:38 |
| lenswipe | Halitech, what do i put for the keyboard variant? | 19:38 |
| Halitech | Beefcaked, I'm almost thinking that driver is specific for the 2.6.20 kernel | 19:38 |
| growthmetal | Royall: rm -r <directory name> | 19:38 |
| Halitech | lenswipe, leave it blank | 19:38 |
| Slart | Royall_: it ought to work.. there is a recursive switch for rm | 19:39 |
| lenswipe | Halitech, ok | 19:39 |
| devkhadka | sebsebseb: i replaced the /boot partition of the ubuntu with /boot of fedora | 19:39 |
| growthmetal | Royall_: be very careful with that command | 19:39 |
| S0ckPants | hi all, the new driver works, thanks a lot for your assistance :) cya | 19:39 |
| sebsebseb | devkhadka: that sounds a bit bad | 19:39 |
| bogie | pradeep you can always use webmin, if you arent able to manage iptables on your own ;) | 19:39 |
| lenswipe | Halitech, keyboard options? | 19:39 |
| Beefcaked | Halitech: does that mean its not going to work for my kernel version? :( | 19:39 |
| devkhadka | sebsebseb: i dont have any backup too | 19:39 |
| growthmetal | Royall_: rm -r has screwed me over a few times; I recommend you move it to your trash directory and delete it later | 19:39 |
| Halitech | lenswipe, blank | 19:39 |
| lenswipe | Halitech, ok | 19:39 |
| Halitech | Beefcaked, don't think so | 19:39 |
| lenswipe | Halitech, ok that would seem to be it done what now? | 19:39 |
| pradeep | u | 19:39 |
| Beefcaked | Halitech: i see, is there any other way to get this working? | 19:39 |
| sebsebseb | devkhadka: why not just use Ubuntu's Grub? | 19:40 |
| guntbert | !webmin | bogie, pradeep | 19:40 |
| ubottu | bogie, pradeep: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. | 19:40 |
| devkhadka | sebsebseb: can i reover it ... is there any way | 19:40 |
| growthmetal | Royall_: Your trash directory should be in ~/.local/share/Trash/files/ | 19:40 |

| zoii | hhyy | 19:40 |
| lenswipe | Halitech, doi restart xorg or something? | 19:40 |
| growthmetal | thiebaude: I don't blame you. I actually wrote a short python script called trash that would move things to my trash directory for me | 19:41 |

| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 19:41 |
| Halitech | Beefcaked, where did you get the file from? | 19:41 |
| sebsebseb | !dontzap | lenswipe | 19:41 |
| ubottu | lenswipe: To re-enable the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace combination that restarts your X server, you can install the "dontzap" package and use the command « sudo dontzap --disable ». The combination Alt+SysRq+K can also be used to obtain a similar effect. | 19:41 |
| growthmetal | thiebaude: sure, I'll put it in pastebin. wait a sec | 19:41 |
| thiebaude | thanks | 19:41 |
| Beefcaked | Halitech: tbh i forgot, but i also have a tar.gz here | 19:42 |

| thiebaude | ok | 19:43 |
| growthmetal | you | 19:43 |
| growthmetal | you'll need to modify the $TRASH environment variable with the location of your trash | 19:43 |
| devkhadka | sebsebseb: can u provide me any resources or link | 19:43 |
| growthmetal | or alternatively put it in a file called trash.txt in /usr/local/bin | 19:43 |
| sebsebseb | devkhadka: what you have done I don't really know much about, but it's not exactly distro specific, so you could give ##linux a try | 19:43 |
| anqee|home | is there an application that fully supports exchange for Ubuntu or any other dists? I'm thinking to let go of M$ for Ubuntu at the office! | 19:43 |

| lenswipe | guntbert, right. | 19:59 |

| lenswipe | Halitech, lol 800x600 is too small for everything - seriously why would you use 800x600 or 640x480? | 20:03 |

| Obituary | i use 3, ubuntu, kubuntu and xubuntu, but in xubuntu i have problems with windows, cant maximize, anybody knows why? | 20:49 |
| sebsebseb | Beefcaked: basically you install a program once, and you don't need to re install it normalley | 20:49 |
| sebsebseb | Beefcaked: ,becasue the program and the user data for it are kept seperate | 20:49 |
| sebsebseb | Beefcaked: well re instaling a program can help, when they don't just add them selves to the menu, because then normalely the shorcuts go on, but logging out of Ubuntu and back in again, will also take care of that | 20:50 |
| jim_p | Obituary: window manager problems? eg not having button or keyboard shortcut for maximise? | 20:50 |

| Crash1hd | Is there a way to mount a subdirectory using uuid? | 20:57 |
| sebsebseb | Beefcaked: the thing in .config you can leave that | 20:57 |

| worm | lenswipe, actually i would like to set up a temporary http server to show some projects to friends...that's what portforward does ? | 20:57 |

| Beefcaked | sebsebseb: thanks for all the help, i have to go for a bit :) im waiting on halitech maybe he'll finally get my webcam working | 20:57 |
| sebsebseb | Beefcaked: ok no probs | 20:58 |
| lenswipe | worm, portforwarding means you set your router to direct incoming requests on port 80 (thats for web browsing) at your server so that your webserver is accessible to the outside world portforward.com tells you how to do that | 20:58 |
| mido_ | genii: thnx a lot man ,, | 20:58 |
| worm | lenswipe, ok ok thanks a lot | 20:58 |
| lenswipe | pluffsy, the processes at the top of the list are the ones using the most memory... | 20:58 |
| lenswipe | worm, no problem | 20:58 |
| lenswipe | oh, and worm, make sure your server has a satic IP | 20:59 |

| harn1 | The xserver isn't restarting after a logout, the shutdown and restart buttons aren't working. I'm presently using command line to shut down. What can I do to correct this? | 20:59 |
| lenswipe | worm, so rather than being assigned an IP from your router your server needs to have an IP address set like 192.168.0.4 or something | 20:59 |
| kpkudi | cmp: or maybe im confused | 20:59 |
| lenswipe | worm, otherwise your servers IP will change and your router will be pointing HTTP requests to the wrong IP... | 21:00 |
| cached | Inf_lappy_: but there's no system-wide setting you know of? | 21:00 |
| worm | lenswipe, okay i'll keep that in mind | 21:00 |
| genii | mido_: You're welcome | 21:00 |
| Inf_lappy_ | cached, well. if your audio files just have very low volume no fiddling with system settings will help that | 21:00 |
| lenswipe | worm, come back and ask me if you need anything because im running a webserver on my end here | 21:00 |
| lenswipe | worm, so ive done it before :) | 21:00 |
| worm | lenswipe, ok ;) | 21:01 |

I had, previous to that, downloaded and installed the proprietary canon pixma mp210 drivers from Canon Australia, but they didn't show up in the drivers list. The mp180 drivers seem to be doing the job with respect to printing, and the xsane-pixma package was already working for scanning. | 22:19 |

| puff | Ah,g imp can open it and import the image. | 22:42 |
| powertool08 | puff: no, but you can change your scan settings and rescan it. If you want to change the pdf itself, maybe pdfedit or evince would have that ability? | 22:42 |
