| fccf | goddard_: can you access the webpage from outside you network by using your IP? | 00:00 |
| goddard_ | no | 00:00 |
| riggs498 | Okay that is right. Does the server run on a different computer? | 00:00 |
| fccf | goddard_: then port 80 is not forwarded | 00:00 |
| goddard_ | I do have a software firewall fccf | 00:00 |

| goddard_ | hosts.allow is setup not sure if its accurat | 00:01 |
| riggs498 | You can port forward but not give external access. | 00:01 |
| fccf | goddard_: is your webpage accessable from inside your network? | 00:01 |
| goddard_ | hmm | 00:01 |
| techtronic | how do i stop ubuntu from auto showing the contents of a usb stick when you plug it in | 00:01 |

| === Colrol is now known as Rolcol | ||
| fccf | goddard: from another computer on your network enter http://internal-ip-of-server to see if it is accessable from the localnet | 00:02 |
| goddard_ | it will appear only if I use the local lan ip | 00:02 |
| waseem_ | so it isnt the gfx driver | 00:02 |
| saahr | I used version 9.04 Labantu new and I want to know your card or the way defined | 00:02 |
| goddard_ | the isp issued ip doesn't allow me to see my page it just hangs | 00:03 |

| Gyndawyr | I cant get my dualshock 3 to work on ubuntu, I also cant get wine to recognise anything inside the program files folder | 00:03 |
| Gyndawyr | what do I do about it? | 00:03 |

| ctmjr | saahr: you need to explain your problem better i do not think we understand what your asking | 00:04 |
| goddard_ | I can only use the lan ip | 00:04 |
| goddard_ | not the isp ip | 00:04 |
| goddard_ | to access it | 00:04 |
| waseem | anyone please help | 00:04 |
| fccf | goddard_: what kind of router do you have? | 00:04 |
| Jorsher | could someone tell me if init 1 would be reset to init 3 with a reboot? :) | 00:04 |
| waseem | my laptop keeps freezing but only with ubuntu. | 00:04 |
| TTilus | panels-on-mythfrontend solved, needed to enable legacy_fullscreen from compiz setup "Workarounds" section | 00:05 |
| waseem | i have 8.04 LTS | 00:05 |
| on0bi | _MrsApple_: click on settings > configure amarok > collection, then find where your music is and check it | 00:05 |
| riggs498 | there are two setting that you normally have to set port forward and external access. That opens the port to the internet | 00:05 |
| goddard_ | WRT54G | 00:05 |
| goddard_ | Linksys | 00:05 |
| Gyndawyr | id recommend you get windows, as my ubuntu install has done nothing good | 00:05 |
| waseem | Gyndawyr, who is that to? | 00:06 |
| bucky | goddard can you ping 4.2.2.2 ? | 00:06 |
| Cyber-Dogg | so it appears that flash is using /dev/snd/pcmC0D0 I need it to use /dev/snd/pcmC0D3 | 00:06 |
| Cyber-Dogg | any thoughts? | 00:06 |
| fccf | goddard_: you want to put your server's internal ipaddress into the DMZ ... this will put the ubuntu server on the outside ip | 00:06 |

| Gyndawyr | i have no faith in this OS anymore | 00:07 |
| unop | techtronic, it's in the nautilus preference dialogue, under media - "browse media when inserted" | 00:07 |
| goddard_ | i heard using a dmz is disabling a part of your security | 00:07 |
| on0bi | man i love ubuntu, i know how to do things on it | 00:07 |
| bucky | abandon hope all ye who enter here | 00:07 |
| on0bi | i have tons of faith in ubuntu | 00:07 |
| goddard_ | what if i use the DMZ feature and it still doesn't work | 00:07 |
| waseem | Gyndawyr, stop trolling man. if you dont like it dont use it. | 00:07 |
| Gyndawyr | how do I get my dualshock 3 to work on ubuntu? how do I test it? | 00:07 |
| waseem | some of us are trying to get our problems sorted here | 00:08 |
| on0bi | google, bro | 00:08 |
| Darkebrz | on0bi, I went to the thread you specified, and I am trying to follow the instructions. But libao.conf is a readonly file and I can't edit it? | 00:08 |
| MaximLevitsky | unop: and my media disks aren't opened in karamic despite this setting beein set | 00:08 |
| Gyndawyr | some of us are tired of our problems here -_- | 00:08 |
| hg | join #python | 00:08 |
| waseem | Gyndawyr, then by all means go back to windows. | 00:08 |
| fccf | goddard_: yes, but only for the ubuntu machine, and if you have ubuntu setup properly it will be secure ... DMZ'ing will work | 00:08 |
| on0bi | Darkebrz: did you sudo gedit? | 00:08 |
| fccf | !gksudo | on0bi Darkebrz | 00:08 |
| Gyndawyr | then what is the point in the ubuntu IRC support? | 00:08 |
| goddard_ | would filtering multicast traffic or NAT redirection affect the DNS service? | 00:08 |
| ubottu | on0bi Darkebrz: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 00:08 |
| waseem | please any help is appreciated, my laptop keeps freezing. I have no idea why its doing this. | 00:08 |
| unop | MaximLevitsky, hmm, well .. did you upgrade from a previous release? | 00:08 |
| Darkebrz | Okay that worked | 00:08 |
| Darkebrz | Oh | 00:09 |
| fccf | !attitude | Gyndawyr | 00:09 |
| ubottu | Gyndawyr: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 00:09 |
| Darkebrz | Dont use sudo >_> | 00:09 |
| MaximLevitsky | unop: yes | 00:09 |
| on0bi | ya, gksudo works | 00:09 |
| x404x | i found our why my samba didnt work, i had setup all correct in terminal mode, but the graphic mode settings was blocked out so i had to setup under gui shares also | 00:09 |
| on0bi | i use sudo anyway | 00:09 |
| x404x | maybe its special for xubuntu ? | 00:09 |
| unop | MaximLevitsky, this setting wasn't there in previous versions of nautilus - not sure exactly which version introduced it. | 00:09 |
| waseem | please any help is appreciated, my laptop keeps freezing. I have no idea why its doing this. its not a hardware issue as my dual booted windows doesnt freeze or behave erratically. | 00:09 |
| Gyndawyr | i dont wish to view any IRC guidelines, I wish to use my control pad on a game through Wine | 00:09 |
| MaximLevitsky | unop: this settings is there, but it doesn't work.... | 00:10 |
| goddard_ | fccf would filtering multicast traffic or NAT redirection affect the DNS service? | 00:10 |
| djshotglass | i am trying to decide on what ubuntu I should try, do any not come with a X system | 00:10 |
| on0bi | Gyndawyr: heh, good luck | 00:10 |
| Gyndawyr | Ive visited the winehq channel, it is silent in there. I have asked several rooms also | 00:10 |
| on0bi | Gyndawyr: use windows for game | 00:10 |
| Gyndawyr | id like to know how to use wine for something other than notepad or internet explorer | 00:10 |
| Jorsher | could someone tell me if init 1 is set back to init 3 on reboot? | 00:10 |
| maco | djshotglass: server doesnt have X | 00:10 |
| maco | Jorsher: er, what? | 00:11 |
| Gyndawyr | once ive fixed that, then Ill worry about compatibility | 00:11 |
| djshotglass | Gyndawyr: get a grip and dual boot windows if you play games | 00:11 |
| on0bi | Gyndawyr: what are you trying to do? | 00:11 |
| Jorsher | i was ssh into my remote box, and set init 1 following a disk quota tutorial, and now i can't connect to it | 00:11 |
| fccf | goddard_: yes, but I don't think that is the issue here, ubuntu by default is very secure, putting the server into DMZ shouldn't be a problem, especially if you are using a dynamic ip sitiuation | 00:11 |
| unop | MaximLevitsky, i don't think you got my point - i'm not stating it well enough. It's quite plausible that something else is inhibiting this feature for you - perhaps some cruft from the previous release of gnome. | 00:11 |
| Gyndawyr | on0bi: im trying to use wine to access windows applications | 00:11 |
| Gyndawyr | once i know how to do that, I will move on to the control pad drivers | 00:12 |
| MaximLevitsky | unop: interesting..... | 00:12 |
| pencique | #/j #xubuntu | 00:12 |
| pencique | meh | 00:12 |
| Jorsher | maco - i was ssh into my remote box, and set init 1 following a disk quota tutorial, and now i can't connect to it | 00:12 |
| Jorsher | maco - i'm curious if restarting will set init back to 3 so i can connect again | 00:12 |
| DasEi | Jorsher: not alternate way to connect to it ? how remote is it ? | 00:12 |
| on0bi | Gyndawyr: in terminal, type winecfg to pull up the config window | 00:12 |
| Jorsher | on another continent remote | 00:12 |
| djshotglass | maco, interesting thanks | 00:12 |
| on0bi | Gyndawyr: there you can add windows programs and set what version of windows to run on each program and also graphical and accessibility tweaks | 00:13 |
| Gyndawyr | uhh.. ok | 00:13 |

| Darkebrz | Package libflashsupport is not available, but is referred to by another package. | 00:16 |

| maco | Jorsher: as long as you didnt set 1 as default in your grub config | 00:17 |
| Jorsher | nosir i didnt :) | 00:17 |
| Jorsher | i was in ssh and figured init 1 would let me stay logged in | 00:17 |
| Jorsher | but, i guess you learn from mistakes :) | 00:17 |

| knasto | Someone, so how to I get apple trailers to work again without resulting to dirty methods like wget??? | 00:18 |
| DasEi | Jorsher: think so, if you havent configured any earlier service (ssh, webmin,vnc, whatever) .. | 00:18 |
| fccf | goddard_: you are online, and the king | 00:18 |
| on0bi__ | Darkebrz: sorry mate, that how to is kind of old, i just downloaded pulse audio from the add/remove program and it works. i use that thread for the setup normally. things like check this, check that | 00:18 |
| Gouda | Waseem: Wish I could help you more dude but my ubuntu knowledge is very limited. I just installed it about 2 weeks ago. been a 9 year layoff from using a linux machine :) | 00:19 |

| wcGary83 | does anyone know why x.org would set the resolution to 800x600 upon startup everytime even though I save the settings as 1440x900 in x,org from the nvidia settings? | 00:19 |

| Gouda | wcGary83: did you save the changes or just clicked apply> | 00:20 |
| fccf | goddard_: yep | 00:20 |
| michele_ | ciao | 00:20 |
| on0bi__ | Darkebrz: just open the add/remove, make sure that the filter is set to allow third party packages, then search in the audio catagory for the pulseaudio stuff, install them all. then use that thread to check boxes and what not. don't worry too much about editing files and adding data | 00:20 |
| wcGary83 | I saved the changes, and tried both merging and not... | 00:20 |
| zer0her0 | dumb question: is it possible to find out what gfx card is install via cli command? | 00:20 |
| goddard_ | hey fccf how did you find that out | 00:20 |
| on0bi__ | Darkebrz: then you'll be set | 00:21 |
| Gouda | That's strange. Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers? | 00:21 |
| fccf | goddard_: got your info from your username | 00:21 |

| on0bi__ | Darkebrz: you've just got to remember to move the audio stream to your card or whatever your speakers are connected to in the playback tab under volume manager | 00:21 |
| wcGary83 | Gouda: yes, I am thinking about installing the latest from the nvidia site, but it would break upon upgrade and the computer is for a new user... | 00:21 |
| on0bi__ | Darkebrz: then you'll be golden. mine is exactly like that | 00:22 |
| goddard_ | im not the best with irc how? | 00:22 |
| credo | zer0her0: lspci ? | 00:22 |
| wcGary83 | Gouda: I tried with both the 173 and 180 driver | 00:22 |
| fccf | goddard_: what IRC client are you using? | 00:22 |
| Gouda | wcGary83: What it almost sounds like is that it's conflicting with another driver possibly and getting overwritten maybe. Not too sure | 00:22 |
| Jorsher | DasEi - I was logged in as admin and did sudo init 1, kicked me off the remote connection and now i can't connect through ssh, ftp, nxmachine, etc under root or admin | 00:23 |

| bucky | yazd, /msg NickServ HELP | 00:36 |
| yazd | thanks | 00:37 |
| first | scott yes it does | 00:37 |
| scott_ino2 | first, so you've installed flash already correct | 00:37 |
| bucky | yazd, and check https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/postgresql.html it shows how to keep postgres from connecting outside or make it connect | 00:37 |
| first | scott, yes | 00:37 |
| StephenJ | I'm having a packaging issue in Ubuntu 9, anyone got a second? | 00:38 |
| wcGary83 | fccf: yes, it is saved to that location and named corretcly... I actually used nvidia-settings manager to modify it, setting resolution to 1440x900 and saving it (from root of course!) | 00:38 |
| scott_ino2 | first, try clearing out your browser cache and restarting firefox. occasionally hulu can be weird with flash | 00:38 |
| first | scott k i will try that thank you | 00:38 |
| scott_ino2 | first, also if it doesn't say "loading video" right away just leave it and see if somethin comes up | 00:39 |
| StephenJ | For some reason, everytime I run dpkg, a failed package from a few days ago fails to install and I have to tell it to [abort] every single time I install something | 00:39 |
| fccf | wcGary83: just checking... you are running gksudo nvidia-settings or at a actual root@xxxx-desktop$ nvidia-settings ??? | 00:39 |
| wcGary83 | fccf: yes | 00:40 |
| fccf | wcGary83: I there is an or in there | 00:40 |
| wcGary83 | fccf: im sorry that wasnt a yes or no question! | 00:41 |
| wcGary83 | fccf: i ran from actual root shell (sudo su) | 00:41 |
| fccf | wcGary83: how about 1 or 2 ... 1 gksudo nvidia-settings (which is hte right way) and 2 root shell (which is the wrong way) | 00:42 |
| fccf | *the | 00:42 |
| wcGary83 | fccf: 2... why is root shell the wrong way? | 00:43 |
| fccf | !gksudo | wcGary83 | 00:43 |
| ubottu | wcGary83: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 00:43 |

| fccf | syntex: reformatting NTFS (windows drive?) to Fat32 would wipe windows... you should be able to boot the NTFS drive using !grub | 00:45 |

| Schnitz | any idea how i can automagically unload/load the module? | 00:55 |
| heogen | fulltono.com | 00:55 |

| Kalmi | mordof, have you tried using ALSA?... | 01:00 |
| Kalmi | !sound | mordof | 01:00 |
| ubottu | mordof: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 01:00 |

| mordof | Intel ICH.... it's selected ALSA - but my motherboard is nforce 410 amd chipset | 01:01 |
| mordof | that makes no sense | 01:01 |
| knasto | maco, heres the link, if you want it http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/57184 | 01:01 |

| pw-toxic | if i double click on the mp3, strange player opens and i cant hear anything | 01:08 |
| matrixblue | pw-toxic: use Rhythmbox | 01:08 |
| goddard | did you just install? | 01:08 |
| willca | pw-toxic i do it this way. sudo apt-get install audacious then go into the folder and run audacios from there | 01:08 |

| waseem | hi my ubuntu OS keeps freezing it is 8.04 LTS and it freezes randomly. I dont think it is a hardware issue as my dual booted Vista doesnt show any signs of a problem. | 01:13 |
| pw-toxic | if i click on the "click here to isntall the ubuntu-restircted-extras packge" he tells me that they are already installed | 01:13 |
| waseem | ill probably freeze and not respond randomly if a freeze happens. | 01:13 |
| willca | waseem maybe there is a bad block in your partition/drive | 01:14 |
| waseem | willca, how can i fix this? | 01:14 |
| willca | waseem try booting up your live cd and run badblocks against your partition...my experience | 01:14 |
| willca | was like that | 01:14 |

| ikey | oh good point. | 01:19 |
| T0aster | sudo nautils | 01:19 |

| themoebius | hey I'm trying to bring a computer running ubuntu 7.10 up to date. When I try to update the repos it's saying they don't exist anymore. what's the easiest way to get this thing current? Do I need to reformat? | 01:29 |
| heogen | <chrisi1512> ok, thank you man | 01:29 |
| matrixblue | themoebius, backup the home directory and install the new version | 01:30 |
| TheLetterM | themoebius: do apt-get dist-upgrade | 01:30 |
| TheLetterM | but as matrixblue says, you should back up your home dir first | 01:31 |
| chuckc | whenever i transfer files >100megs or so over network (nfs, netatalk, http) the transfer starts and then pauses after 50-150megs downloaded. Then the network on the ubuntu machine serving the files goes down and I can not connect to it. the network may come back up after like 10 min or so. The weird thing is when the download pauses, if i restart the ubuntu network, the download resumes but then pauses again after another 50-150megs dl | 01:31 |
| chuckc | just restarted networking about 8 times to finish a 1gig file. any ideas? | 01:31 |
| djshotglass | hi, i just burned ununtu-server off and tried to install it on one of my machines, but once i boot from the cd it asks what language and I cant select anything | 01:32 |
| T0aster | Ok with my hdtv set as second x screen the acreen is there and I can control the panel options but every application I select goes to screen 0 (my monitor) | 01:32 |
| djshotglass | keyboard lights are on duing bois boot, but turn off when the ubuntu-server cd starts booting | 01:32 |
| themoebius | TheLetterM: apt-get dist-upgrade just tried to get the one package it knows is out of date - I don't think it knows to get the updated repos | 01:32 |
| djshotglass | i have tried every keyboard in my house and none work | 01:32 |
| matrixblue | djshotglass, check if the num lock light is responding on the keyboard | 01:32 |
| KB1JWQ | djshotglass: They all USB? | 01:32 |
| JohnLocke | i have sound working fine on jaunty 9.04 but is lower than in windows.. the troubleshooting page on wiki.ubuntu.com seems to deal with situations when sound is completely not working | 01:32 |
| djshotglass | matrixblue, it doesnt, nothing does | 01:32 |
| djshotglass | KB1JWQ, yes i havent had a ps2 keyboard since the 90s | 01:33 |
| KB1JWQ | djshotglass: And how recent is the machine in question? | 01:33 |
| kikekof | que dicen | 01:33 |
| matrixblue | djshotglass, are you certain the CD isn't corrupted? | 01:33 |
| djshotglass | i just installed kubuntu on a different machine, and it had a countdown at this meny | 01:33 |
| TheLetterM | Anyone familiar with LVM? | 01:33 |
| djshotglass | so i assume this is a known problem | 01:33 |
| djshotglass | as they fixed it | 01:33 |
| kikekof | mexicanos por hay | 01:33 |
| kikekof | latinos | 01:33 |
| kikekof | ?¿?¿ | 01:33 |
| djshotglass | the keyboards work fine before the cd boots, as i can go though the bois | 01:34 |
| djshotglass | once ubuntu-server boots, nothing works | 01:34 |
| djshotglass | and no countdown like kubuntu | 01:34 |
| djshotglass | so i guess i cant install it | 01:34 |
| djshotglass | great os | 01:34 |
| KB1JWQ | djshotglass: USB legacy support enabled in BIOS? | 01:34 |
| djshotglass | hah | 01:34 |

| TheLetterM | djshotglass: is the KB USB and is USB Legacy support enabled in the BIOS? | 01:34 |
| djshotglass | yes | 01:35 |
| matrixblue | djshotglass, the server version install is a bit different and I'm not suire if it has the countdown. I'd try another CD | 01:35 |
| djshotglass | i dont want another cd | 01:35 |
| djshotglass | i want ubuntu-server | 01:35 |
| djshotglass | the rest are garbage | 01:35 |
| TheLetterM | matrixblue: it does have the countdown | 01:36 |
| matrixblue | djshotglass, I meant burn another copy | 01:36 |
| djshotglass | ubuntu-server does not | 01:36 |
| shamm_ | dd if=filename.iso of=/dev/dvd | 01:36 |
| TheLetterM | so yeah | 01:36 |
| shamm_ | is that how we burn iso to dvd? | 01:36 |
| TheLetterM | LVM2 | 01:36 |
| djshotglass | cd is fine as the program i burned it with verifys the cd | 01:36 |
| biker_rat | ubuntu x doesn't run at startup with my video card. how do i boot into console. I have mounted ubuntu from slackware partition and wish to edit it to boot from console. | 01:36 |
| TheLetterM | can nayone help me with it | 01:36 |
| djshotglass | compares every byte with the iso after burning it | 01:36 |
| djshotglass | cd is 100% | 01:36 |
| TheLetterM | biker_rat: if X fails to start, you can use the VC | 01:37 |
| TheLetterM | CTRL+ALT+F2 - F6 | 01:37 |
| biker_rat | what VC? | 01:37 |
| TheLetterM | the console | 01:37 |
| prince_jammys | "virtual console" | 01:37 |
| biker_rat | X is borked. Frozen . no VC | 01:38 |
| * djshotglass throws ubuntu cd in garbage and grabs a arch cd | 01:38 | |
| matrixblue | djshotglass, run md5 on the iso you downloaded | 01:38 |
| TheLetterM | hold down CTRL+ALT and press F1 F2 F3... F6 and you jump through them all | 01:38 |
| bobo | ok so is it possible to download KDE for ubuntu but just the essential things for KDE and not the things i don't want like Kate, and KWord, and Kcalc, etc.. because if I don't like Kubuntu (or just want a different view from time to time) i'd want to be able to go back to gnome and have it as it was without all the extra stuff | 01:38 |
| biker_rat | the driver problem won't let that function | 01:38 |
| djshotglass | matrixblue, i dont need to md5 anything | 01:38 |
| djshotglass | as the program i burned it with compared every byte | 01:38 |
| djshotglass | the cd is fine | 01:38 |
| Guest9553 | Does anyone know the command for GPG so it will just encrypt the text that I type? I've only been able to find commands to encrypt text files. I would like to type the text directly into the shell and have it encrypted. No encrypting files. | 01:39 |
| bananafish | so | 01:39 |
| xikteny | djshotglass: he's saying that the _image_ may not have been fine | 01:39 |
| matrixblue | djshotglass, I understood your earlier point. I was just suggesting that the ISO you downloaded may have been corrupt | 01:39 |
| bobo | im using ubuntu 9.04 gnome btw | 01:39 |
| lstarnes | Guest9553: don't specify a filename | 01:39 |
| lstarnes | Guest9553: it should let you type your emssage in | 01:39 |
| ryanrhee90 | hi all | 01:39 |
| ryanrhee90 | can i get some help getting drivers? | 01:40 |
| ryanrhee90 | i'm running 8.04 LTS server | 01:40 |
| matrixblue | bobo I think maybe the alternate install CD may have customized installs | 01:40 |
| ryanrhee90 | and i need the sis_ide driver / module, or it won't recognize any hard drives | 01:40 |
| zenguy311 | i was using ettercap when i right clicked and disabled my wireless connection while ettercap was still sniffing. now i can;t can't use my wireless device even afetr rebooting countless enableing/disabling of wirelessconnection and network connection, I 've even tried /etc/init.d/networking retart and reload command which are no good | 01:41 |
| TheLetterM | bobo: if you want something minimal with KDE, some people recommend installing server edition and then installing KDE from there | 01:41 |
| bobo | matrixblue and TheLetterM: I meant that I want to have both gnome and KDE on my comp. can i not just download KDE from the repos? | 01:41 |
| TheLetterM | yes you can | 01:42 |
| bobo | as in i just want to be able to switch sessions | 01:42 |
| bobo | oh ok | 01:42 |
| TheLetterM | apt-get install KDE | 01:42 |
| bobo | ok thanks | 01:42 |
| TheLetterM | np | 01:42 |
| matrixblue | bobo lowercase kde though | 01:42 |
| bobo | ya | 01:42 |
| zenguy311 | what can i do to get my wifi working again | 01:42 |
| Guest9553 | lstarnes: Yeah, if I just type GPG in the command line it will let me type text but I guess what I can't figure out is what to do once I've typed all the text I want. How do I take the next step to encrypt? | 01:42 |
| prince_jammys | bobo: you can try installing 'kdelibs' and see if that's enough to get you a kde X session. probably not. | 01:42 |
| bobo | well, ill just remove all the progs i don't want later | 01:43 |
| ctmjr | zenguy311: what do you get when you run sudo ifconfig down | 01:43 |
| lstarnes | Guest9553: ctrl+d | 01:43 |
| lstarnes | Guest9553: you need to end the message with a blank line followed by ctrl+d | 01:43 |
| matrixblue | bobo the kde package only installs the environment kubuntu-desktop installs all the extras | 01:43 |
| ryanrhee90 | any help installing drivers please? | 01:43 |
| biker_rat | I am using lilo (slackware) any kernel option i can put in ubuntu kernel line to stop X. i wish to install xorg-edgers in the hope that this will fix X and i need to get into console. Fedora rawhide X is functioning with my video card with 3D 7 2D acceleration but the fedora installer for rawhide isn't currently working so I thought I would try ubuntu. It is late and i have to work in the morning. Can I get a reply? | 01:44 |
| matrixblue | ryanrhee90, which drivers? | 01:44 |
| ctmjr | zenguy311: *sudo ifconfig wlan0 down | 01:44 |
| bobo | so the environment is 450mb? matrixblue | 01:44 |
| ryanrhee90 | sis_ide | 01:44 |
| ryanrhee90 | matrixblue: sis_ide | 01:44 |
| zenguy311 | i did sudo ifconfig wlan1 down and the command went without errors, even though i type ifconfig the wlan1 won;t show up. but when i type ifconfig wlan1 up there's an errir message | 01:44 |
| matrixblue | bob seems about right because there alot of libraries that are needed | 01:44 |
| biker_rat | ati x1900gt card. mostly not working except with the bleeding edge due to regressions | 01:45 |
| ryanrhee90 | right now, when I boot into the correct kernel, I'm kicked into the initramfs shell | 01:45 |

| ryanrhee90 | it's an ide controller | 01:45 |
| prince_jammys | matrixblue: no, kde will install a bunch of apps. | 01:45 |
| ryanrhee90 | matrixblue: it's a built-in ide controller | 01:45 |
| ctmjr | zenguy311: ok try this sudo ifconfig wlan1 down / sudo dhclient -r wlan1 | 01:46 |
| matrixblue | ryanrhee90, stuff like that is normally built into the kernel. Which version are you running? | 01:46 |
| zenguy311 | wehere is the conf for wirless i will delete ir | 01:47 |
| matrixblue | prince_jammys, bobo I stand corrected then | 01:47 |
| biker_rat | If there is no way to disable an X that is locking the system, you have a fundamentally flawed OS IMHO. | 01:48 |
| prince_jammys | matrixblue: it doesn't look like it when you look at the dependencies, but they start branching out and end up installing tons of apps. | 01:48 |
| ryanrhee90 | i'm on 2.6.24-24-22 | 01:48 |

| lstarnes | biker_rat: in 9.04 and later it must be manually enabled by disabling dontzap | 01:50 |
| matrixblue | ryanrhee90, can you try a live CD of 8.10 or 9.04 to see if the controller will work on those? | 01:50 |
| timi2546 | 904 yeh it does | 01:50 |
| ryanrhee90 | It's a dedicated server off-site, and I have an ip kvm access to it, but can't load cds | 01:51 |
| IndyGunFreak | !dontzap | biker_rat | 01:51 |
| ubottu | biker_rat: 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. | 01:51 |
| IndyGunFreak | i never understood why they changed that | 01:51 |
| ctmjr | zenguy311: try man interfaces | 01:51 |

| Guest9553 | lstarnes:thanks | 01:51 |
| matrixblue | ryanrhee90, I'm a bit confused and you'll have to forgive me but are you certain that the controller in question is functioning? | 01:52 |
| biker_rat | If ubuntu will only boot into X and then freezes that won't work. I need to enter an option or delete something from a working OS mounting the Ubuntu partition. | 01:52 |
| timi2546 | what i have noticed ubuntu has the best, greets to guys ! | 01:53 |
| prince_jammys | biker_rat: can you reach the virtual terminals, with ctrl-alt-F1, for example? | 01:53 |
| matrixblue | biker_rat, boot into a recovery console and run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 01:53 |

| MAbeeTT | matrixblue: thanks! where should I found this link? | 01:57 |
| ryanrhee90 | matrixblue: i think you may be right about the later version kernels supporting sis_ide though. The original setup was 8.04 LTS with a custom 8.10 kernel. I need to change it, however, because the custom kernel does not have loadable modules. | 01:57 |

| ryanrhee90 | matrixblue: The same hard drive. Grub is on a separate partition and it works, but if I select the standard 8.04 kernel, the system can't find my hard drive and kicks me into an initramfs shell | 01:58 |

| x404x | http://www.plug.org/pipermail/plug/2009-August/034568.html. is this common ? i run apt-file update and it does not find the diff/index (404) then it downloads the whole file (15 mb) and then it starts over why ? | 02:21 |
| freescv | the ubuntu cd can format on the setup i believe | 02:21 |
| szbzhao | sombidy here is using kscope? | 02:21 |
| switch10__ | zruty: yup | 02:21 |
| syntex | It's actually an external hard drive. | 02:21 |
| rumy | it says command not found | 02:21 |
| zruty | switch10__: Ok, thanks | 02:22 |
| switch10__ | syntex: that's easy use gparted in ubuntu | 02:22 |
| matrixblue | syntex, be sure that's what you want to do. Not even older Linux can read ext4 | 02:22 |
| tnuic | hi, why isnt PAE enabled in ubuntu default kernel? | 02:22 |
| syntex | matrixblue: Thank you. :) | 02:22 |
| switch10__ | Under administration or something I think. It might be called partition manager now | 02:22 |
| szbzhao | in kscope, how can set a shortcut key for enlarging the fonts in editor. | 02:23 |
| etyrnal | anu sudoers experts in the house? | 02:23 |
| etyrnal | any^ | 02:23 |
| kahen | tnuic: PAE carries a pretty huge performance hit -- it's basically ONLY for specialized server applications on 32 bit systems. like huge databases | 02:23 |
| matrixblue | rumy you sure you typed everything correctly in lowercase? | 02:23 |
| kahen | tnuic: but these days you just buy a 64 bit system and toss all the RAM in it you need. PAE is basically obsolete technology now | 02:23 |
| dab_ | can anyone tell me what cat / does, not run as root | 02:24 |
| dr0pknutz | cat: /: Is a directory | 02:24 |
| rumy | oh prob fixd thanx matrixblue | 02:24 |
| matrixblue | cat is short for concatenate but people use it to display text files in terminal | 02:24 |
| matrixblue | cat is short for concatenate but people use it to display text files in terminal dab_ | 02:24 |
| etyrnal | i need to be able to, Ubuntu server 9, create a user that who's ONLY abilities on a system is to login, and execute only a few conmands -- i want them to be able to do "sudo reboot" or "sudo shutdown -h now" | 02:24 |
| tnuic | kahen: thx for the answer, I'm asking because I'm running ubuntu 64 bits and I'm having trouble with some software... like google gears, adobe air, adobe flash and GWT... | 02:25 |
| dab_ | so i have not done any damage by running it then matrixblue ? | 02:25 |
| dab_ | no messages appeared in terminal, and i stopped it pretty soon | 02:25 |
| tnuic | kahen: I'm only using the 64 bits version because of 4gb of ram | 02:25 |
| matrixblue | dab_ it shouldn't do anything at all | 02:25 |

| dab_ | great, thanks matrixblue i just wanted to make sure i hadnt fucked my system | 02:26 |
| matrixblue | lol | 02:26 |
| dab_ | all that happened was a newline with a blinking square | 02:26 |
| dab_ | and then i stopped it | 02:26 |
| xikteny | dab_: language, language :) | 02:26 |
| dab_ | heh sorry :D | 02:26 |
| prince_jammys | dab_: you can't cause any damage with cat alone. at worst you can get a garbled mess in your terminal. | 02:26 |
| syntex | Would I need to unmount my external drive before I could use GPart to format it? | 02:26 |
| dab_ | phew | 02:26 |
| dab_ | worry over :) | 02:26 |
| syntex | Because currently, It's not letting me do anything to it. | 02:26 |
| matrixblue | dab_, nothing you do outside of your home folder will do anything when not run as root | 02:27 |
| x404x | any way around this bug ? https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/universe-bugs/2009-June/102274.html | 02:27 |
| etyrnal | prince_jammys, can cat be used to run a buffer overflow hack on the terminal/shell? | 02:27 |
| kahen | syntex: it is indeed not possible to format mounted partitions | 02:27 |
| xikteny | syntex: yeah, it can't be in use as you change such things | 02:27 |
| prince_jammys | etyrnal: beats me. | 02:27 |
| dab_ | ok matrixblue ty! <3 | 02:27 |
| syntex | kahen: Thanks. :) | 02:27 |
| prince_jammys | etyrnal: hopefully not. | 02:27 |
| etyrnal | prince_jammys, heh - right. | 02:28 |
| syntex | Is it, at all possible, to partition an external drive like a normal drive? | 02:29 |

| leaf-sheep | syntex: Yes. | 02:29 |
| === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log | ||
| syntex | That would be done via GPart also? | 02:29 |
| leaf-sheep | syntex: There are no limit. You could partition Google servers if you want to. :) | 02:29 |
| syntex | Thank you. I'm use to the limitations of Windows. :P | 02:30 |
| leaf-sheep | syntex: I'm not sure about Gpart. Run "sudo fdisk -l" to get a list of connected devices and figure out which dev you want to partition (eg, /dev/sdb) and such. | 02:30 |
| === maximo_ is now known as Nasra | ||
| leaf-sheep | syntex: If you're running Ubuntu (Gnome), you're better off using gparted as it have GUI. GUI makes it easy for everyone. | 02:31 |
| syntex | leaf-sheep: I'm using GPart in Ubuntu (Gnome). I'm currently waiting for it to finish formatting my NTFS drive to ext4. | 02:32 |
| zopiac | what is the command to add the universe repositories to the list? | 02:32 |
| leaf-sheep | syntex: Okay. There are gpart and gparted in the repo. I'm not sure if you know that. :) | 02:33 |
| syntex | Well, I opened terman and typed in "sudo get-apt install GPart" | 02:33 |
| bucky | zopiac, System=>Administration=>Software Sources | 02:33 |
| syntex | terminal* | 02:33 |
| matrixblue | zopiac, you have to edit the /etc/apt/sources.list and ucomment it | 02:34 |

| matrixblue | mado run blkid | 02:41 |
| rww | mado: the UUID of /dev/sda6 given that pastebin is "2E4E-11A1" | 02:41 |
| rww | fat32 UUIDs are weird and short. | 02:41 |
| mado | yeah but where is it in the other part?? | 02:42 |
| mado | rww, matrixblue | 02:42 |
| chad | Hello | 02:42 |
| mado | where is it in the other part? | 02:42 |
| biker_rat | However, alas, the xorg-edgers packages don't support my video card either. Rawhide is the only one giving me better than radeonhd + framebuffer, but almost everything else on rawhide seems broken. I guess I will have to wait a couple of months. | 02:42 |
| rww | mado: it's not. In /etc/fstab, you can specify a partition using /dev/sdXY notation or in UUID= notation. It's specified using /dev/sda6 (line 23) | 02:42 |
| mado | rww, i know it's not in /etc/fstab ... ok ... here's the problem ... | 02:43 |
| puppe | is it ok to post a link in here to a thread about a problem I've been having? | 02:43 |
| rww | puppe: yes | 02:43 |
| leaf-sheep | mado: /dev/disk/by-uuid/ ? | 02:43 |
| chad | anybody using ebox? | 02:43 |
| biker_rat | Thanks for the help with my experiment. | 02:43 |
| mado | rww, matrixblue ... /dev/sda6 was a FAT32-partition ... i re-formated it to NTFS because i need it as NTFS ... | 02:43 |
| rumy | can someone pls help me install | 02:44 |
| rumy | skype? | 02:44 |
| mado | now i thought that changing the UUID and write "ntfs" instead of "vfat" may help | 02:44 |
| IdleOne | rumy: did you follow the link ubottu gave you? | 02:44 |
| rww | mado: then you'd need to change the "vfat" part of /etc/fstab (again, line 23) to nfts-3g (for read-write) or ntfs. | 02:44 |
| mado | but i don't know how to go about it | 02:44 |

| mado | and how do i go about this UUID-thing rww ? | 02:45 |
| matrixblue | mado ntfs-3g should do it. | 02:45 |
| rww | mado: you don't have to use UUID. Just changing the word "vfat" to "ntfs-3g" should do it just fine. | 02:45 |
| rww | mado: I have to leave momentarily; here are the detailed instructions for the whole process, in case it helps: | 02:45 |

| mado | ok rww matrixblue ... i changed it now ... | 02:46 |
| mado | do i have to reboot to know if it worked? | 02:46 |
| matrixblue | mado yeah | 02:46 |
| syntex | leaf-sheep: Is it natural for GParted to take a long time to format a drive to ext4? It'ws only 150GB. | 02:46 |

| chad | anybody using hardy as a router? | 02:47 |
| matrixblue | ryanrhee90, then what would the problem be? | 02:47 |
| ryanrhee90 | matrixblue: if I use the UUID of my file partition instead of /dev/hda as the root, i can boot in | 02:47 |
| ryanrhee90 | matrixblue: now, the problem is that i can't see the grub partition in /boot | 02:48 |
| matrixblue | ryanrhee90, awesome! glad you figured it out | 02:48 |
| goddard | whats the hotkey to open a new termainal tab? | 02:48 |
| ryanrhee90 | matrixblue: if i tail /etc/fstab, i see proc "dev/hda1" with the mount point "/boot". | 02:49 |
| matrixblue | ryanrhee90, can you get the UUID by booting into the other kernel? | 02:49 |
| zopiac | goddard: ctrl+shift-t i believe | 02:49 |
| DasEi | goddard: ctrl-shift-n | 02:49 |

| matrixblue | ryanrhee90, or somewhere in the boot folder of grub | 02:50 |
| ryanrhee90 | matrixblue: i'm looking at the file right now. where would i place the uuid? i see <file system>, <mount point>, <type>, <options>, <dump>, and <pass> | 02:51 |
| chad | obake-san, have you editted your xorg.conf? | 02:51 |
| obake-san | no | 02:51 |
| ryanrhee90 | matrixblue: is there a way to tell grub to mount a partition using its UUID? if there is, i'm not familiar with it. | 02:51 |
| chad | are you trying to set it up headless or what? | 02:51 |
| matrixblue | ryanrhee90, replace /dev/hda with the UUID | 02:52 |
| chad | headless being without a monitor | 02:52 |
| obake-san | yea | 02:52 |
| ryanrhee90 | matrixblue: okay. and if i boot into the other kernel, how can I find the UUID of /dev/hda1 ? | 02:52 |

| chad | ok, you can set that in your xorg.conf | 02:53 |
| matrixblue | ryanrhee90, now I'm thinking it's the /boot/grub/menu.lst that you need to edit | 02:54 |
| chad | basically you want ubuntu to react to the lack of a monitor | 02:54 |
| chad | so, you need to hardcode the settings you want | 02:54 |
| ryanrhee90 | matrixblue: okay. I have the UUID and label for /dev/hda1 now, using the other kernel, from blkid. | 02:54 |

| Nooblet12 | Hi, I deleted my /dev/urandom, how do I get it back? | 03:06 |
| Nooblet12 | :/ | 03:06 |
| xrfang | hi, I cannot run a 64bit vm on vmware, I found the problem maybe that my host machine does not support VT. | 03:06 |

| phpstar | i would like to create individual Samba Shares for individual Users | 03:06 |
| mado | matrixblue, rww ... i just wanted to say "thanks" ... looks like writing "ntfs-3g" really did the trick ... | 03:06 |
| xrfang | I am running E7500 Core Duo, I think it is 64bit and support vt? if so, how to enable VT under linux? | 03:06 |

| bobbob1016 | chad: So "sudo visudo" goes in my script, or do I run it on the server? | 03:07 |
| dabukalam | phpstar: you can install webmin or ebox, and use their easy-to-use web interfaces to manage samba shares if you so wish | 03:07 |
| dabukalam | !webmin | phpstar | 03:07 |
| ubottu | phpstar: 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. | 03:07 |
| mado | if i have some other issues i'll come back matrixblue | 03:07 |

| waseem | i see. | 03:12 |
| waseem | horrible indeed. | 03:12 |
| waseem | you can live alongside many a problems except for constant freezing. | 03:12 |

| michael1 | my intel 3945 wireless card only works occasionally (it usually doesn't). lshw -C network says "network UNCLAIMED". the drivers come with ubuntu. ideas? | 03:13 |
| zopiac | does nobody know how to work cron?!? | 03:13 |
| waseem | dabukalam, My model is a packard bell, and the specs are fine as I had ubuntu working but due to installs/updates its doing this now. | 03:13 |
| syntex | Should GParted take almost an hour to format a 150GB external hard drive? | 03:13 |
| lstarnes | zopiac: how often do you need the conmmand to run? | 03:14 |
| dabukalam | waseem: what did you install? remove some stuff from startup applications. that might help | 03:14 |
| IdleOne | syntex: yes | 03:14 |
| fccf | syntex: that sounds about right | 03:14 |
| zopiac | once a day, at 5:30 | 03:14 |

| goddard | whats the difference between ssh and sshd? | 03:14 |
| zopiac | i have entered that, but it gives me a bad minute error | 03:14 |
| syntex | IdleOne, fccf: Should it take much longer? It's been sitting on "creating ext4 file system" for about an hour now. | 03:14 |
| zopiac | even * * * * * (command) does | 03:14 |
| lstarnes | goddard: ssh is the client software | 03:15 |
| lstarnes | goddard: sshd is the server component | 03:15 |
| zopiac | does nano append a new line to its files? | 03:15 |
| IdleOne | syntex: be patient with it. depending on your machine it may take a little longer or less | 03:15 |
| waseem | I had an older version of ubuntu (possibly 8.04 or maybe even 7) and then I fixed all my problems and upgraded to 9.04 and then my gfx drivers werent compatible. So i tried to fix that which lead to complete disaster as when ubuntu would reach login screen it was garbage and frozen. So I reinstalled 8.04 LTS over the partition and now it freezes randomly where I have to hold the power button to turn it off. | 03:15 |
| zopiac | or do empty lines not matter | 03:15 |
| waseem | dabukalam, ^ | 03:15 |
| syntex | IdleOne: Okay. Thank you. I was worried that it's just frozen. | 03:15 |
| goddard | lstarnes: thanks | 03:15 |
| Nooblet12 | how do I get /dev/urandom back after accidentally deleting it? | 03:15 |
| lstarnes | zopiac: what is the exact entry that you have now? | 03:15 |
| michael1 | my intel 3945 wireless card only works occasionally (it usually doesn't). lshw -C network says "network UNCLAIMED". the drivers come with ubuntu. ideas? | 03:16 |

| revenge | ctmjr: may i pm you? | 03:16 |
| waseem | could my wireless driver being used be causing the freeze's? I would do a badblock check but ubuntu keeps saying /dev/sda is being used. | 03:17 |
| lstarnes | zopiac: try 30 5 * * * totem "/home/fuogor/Music/Mute Math/Mute Math - Reset.mp3" | 03:17 |
| waseem | even though i am loading a wubi install to do it. | 03:17 |
| zopiac | lstarnes: oh i got it | 03:17 |
| dabukalam | waseem: if your gfx drivers work in 8.04, they should work in 9.04 | 03:17 |
| ctmjr | revenge: it is better to ask in here so if i tell you to do something bad someone (hopefully) will stop you | 03:18 |
| willca | waseem did you try to do it with a livecd instead of booting your HD | 03:18 |
| waseem | dabukalam, well they dont its a restricted driver which ati hasnt upgraded. | 03:18 |
| dabukalam | !ati | 03:18 |

| waseem | willca, yes I fist tried live cd but the cd just randomly stops spinning after a while. | 03:18 |
| zopiac | lstarnes: nano fakes work wrapping, i deleted where it word wrapped, and it works now, thanks a lot though :) especially for pointing me at the Command section | 03:18 |
| drygrain | OK, I got ubuntu installed on my grey box. It asks me to select an OS at startup. How do I change the default OS to Ubuntu instead of XPHome, and how do i access files on my Windows filesystem from Ubuntu? | 03:18 |
| waseem | so i tried the wubi install, which i am now. | 03:18 |
| phpstar | howcould i used ebox | 03:19 |
| phpstar | is it web based ? | 03:19 |
| lstarnes | zopiac: I typically use vim or emacs instead of nano | 03:19 |
| zopiac | they are CLI, right? | 03:19 |
| IdleOne | !ebox | phpstar | 03:19 |
| ubottu | phpstar: ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox | 03:19 |
| waseem | it froze a minute ago but thats because i accessed the potential badblocks disk | 03:19 |
| waseem | and is not freezing right now *fingers crossed* | 03:19 |
| lstarnes | zopiac: yes | 03:19 |

| fccf | RadarG: ultrasparc? what are you trying to do? | 03:25 |
| moxiac | hello .. I've just installed UBUNTU yesterday and want to start that up now. I have clicked it on install inside windows | 03:25 |
| moxiac | so where did i go to start that now? | 03:25 |
| lstarnes | zopiac: you could try an alternative player that does not require X | 03:25 |
| zopiac | totem can run on command line though i thought | 03:25 |
| ctmjr | revenge: i thought you where compiling from source did you find a ppa for it? | 03:25 |
| IdleOne | moxiac: reboot and you will get the choice of windows or ubuntu | 03:25 |
| RadarG | I have a sunfire 280r that when i run uptime it is reporting a load of 3.4 but the system is running fine or appears to be should I be worried that the number is too high? | 03:25 |
| lstarnes | zopiac: yes, but only when it has an available display | 03:26 |
| zopiac | oh ok | 03:26 |
| lstarnes | zopiac: almost all X applications use the environment variable DISPLAY to determine which display to use | 03:26 |
| moxiac | IdleOne: I won't be able to start it and then use windows and ubuntu right? | 03:26 |
| gandhi | hello | 03:26 |
| lstarnes | zopiac: usually, it is :0.0 | 03:26 |
| revenge | ctmjr: well i am kind of new to linux...i added the source successfully | 03:26 |
| IdleOne | moxiac: you can use one or the other not both at the same time | 03:26 |
| lstarnes | zopiac: so try putting DISPLAY=0.0 before the command | 03:26 |
| zopiac | lstarnes: what doesn't need a display? mplayer, i think, any other main ones? | 03:26 |
| zopiac | oh ok | 03:26 |
| moxiac | okay thanks | 03:27 |
| IdleOne | np | 03:27 |

| zopiac | Lillymon: it's what makes it fun to me :D | 03:39 |
| IdleOne | f00f: please watch your language. | 03:39 |
| syntex | veasmkii: So it won't actually damage the drive? As in, I will be able to repartition it and reformat it? | 03:39 |
| leaf-sheep | Lillymon: sudo chown -R chris:chris /media/disk/ | 03:39 |
| potwak | I mean, can i install xchm by compiling its source code? | 03:39 |
| leaf-sheep | Lillymon: Using your username instead. | 03:39 |
| heyhe183 | ubuntu seems to have modified my bios setteing when i log into it!!! | 03:39 |
| heyhe183 | ubuntu sucks always | 03:39 |
| Lillymon | Ah yes, chown. Very user-friendly. What do I tell me mother when she has this problem? | 03:39 |
| heyhe183 | sigh | 03:39 |
| veasmkii | i'm fairly sure the only damage that could be done is to the tables, which can be fixed easily | 03:39 |
| DasEi | zopiac: you installed vlc and can't run cvlc ?? | 03:39 |
| f00f | IdleOne: sorry | 03:40 |
| f00f | anyone know why i am getting this error ? | 03:40 |

| node357 | Hi people. Ekiga stuttering instead of clear voice on Ubuntu 9.04. Anyone know how to fix. | 03:40 |
| heyhe183 | silly os and silly users,haha | 03:40 |
| zopiac | Lillymon: ive been spending a few hours just to get an alarm clock working. . . im still happily working on it :P i might be done by now on windows, but id be bored | 03:40 |
| Lillymon | Right same error, it's still not letting me copy anything to the drive. | 03:40 |
| mado | howdy again folks :) | 03:40 |
| zopiac | DasEi: it seems so | 03:40 |
| ctmjr | heyhe183: did you need help with something? | 03:41 |
| leaf-sheep | zopiac, Lillymon: The learning curve in linux is longer. In Windows -- Everything may work right away but will break right away easily too. :< | 03:41 |
| arquebus | anyone know where I can get info on how to install nVidia drivers that are downloaded off their website? | 03:41 |
| zopiac | leaf-sheep: true dat | 03:41 |
| zopiac | leaf-sheep: i like long, steep learning curves | 03:41 |
| mado | er ... i wanted to know ... can YOU recommend some software or at least help me to know more about what i'd need? | 03:42 |
| DasEi | zopiac: sudo apt-get install vlc vlc-data vlc-nox | 03:42 |

| heyhe183 | i need,how can i swich beteen ubuntu and xp without clearing my bios setting.if not ,my windows xp can not connect internet | 03:42 |
| linuxnewb | hello every one. have a krazy issue here. everytime i boot into ubuntu and then back into windows, the time gets set to what seems is a random time | 03:42 |
| arquebus | thx IdleOne | 03:42 |
| zopiac | DasEi: i just made sure i had vlc installed, but i think vlc-nox is the problem | 03:42 |
| Cynary | I'm having problems maintaining a stable download speed over a wireles N network, and I'd like to know if there's anything I can do about this (curiously, in windows, this problem doesn't present itself, and with my old wireless router this didn't happen in Linux). Beside that, I can only get 60Mb/s speeds top on the wireless network, while it should be 130Mb//s. One solution might be to use 802.11g network instead of N, but does anyone know | 03:42 |
| Cynary | how to do that? | 03:42 |
| zopiac | and my battery just died as it was installing vlc-nox D: | 03:42 |
| Lillymon | Well the learning curve here seem vertical. Command-line says "Stale NFS file handle" when trying chown, and won't even let root copy anything to it. | 03:42 |
| Conu | arquebus if you d/l the .deb you just have to change the permisions (allow execute) then run | 03:43 |
| f00f | none knows why i am getting these errors in my syslog --> http://www.pastie.org/610529 | 03:43 |
| mado | e.g. which software would you suggest for managing books? (many books ... more than 1000) | 03:43 |
| Orpheus | i installed python 3 on ubuntu 9.04 and when i run python @ terminal it shows python 2.6 | 03:43 |
| Lillymon | This is not a 'steep learning curve', this is just idiotic. | 03:43 |
| f00f | mado: rackmonkey | 03:43 |
| node357 | Anyone know how to stop stuttering sound in Ekiga? | 03:43 |
| Orpheus | what can i do to update it | 03:43 |
| potwak | can i install xchm by compiling its source code? | 03:43 |
| mado | f00f, can you tell me more about it? ... and why you suggested that one? | 03:44 |
| DasEi | mado : http://www.howtoforge.com/the-perfect-desktop-ubuntu-9.04 | 03:44 |
| rredd4 | what is the command and apt get software needed to see what signals I am receiving via my usb antenna? or is there a gui app that will do that? | 03:44 |
| rredd4 | also interested in signal strength | 03:44 |
| linuxnewb | rredd4 try wireshark | 03:44 |
| zopiac | ive learned SO much today about linux (just like every day since i got Ubuntu for the first time a year and a half ago :P ) | 03:44 |
| RHorse | rredd4 iwlist | 03:44 |
| node357 | Anyone know how to stop stuttering sound in Ekiga? | 03:45 |
| Lillymon | Right, so now I'm stuck and my pendrive is apparently useless to me. That's £50 down the drain then. | 03:45 |
| gandhi | at least you didn't ruin your pc | 03:45 |
| mado | DasEi, that doesn't really say something about "managing books" | 03:45 |
| gandhi | done that to a hard drive more than once | 03:45 |
| rredd4 | RHorse iwlist will work via live cd? and give me signal strength levels? | 03:46 |
| DasEi | mado : was meant to your earleir quest on general soft | 03:46 |
| Lillymon | I'm tempted to say "Yes I did, I installed Linux on it", but I'm just angry because this is a very simple function that seems to be impossible. | 03:46 |
| node357 | No one ever helps me wheN I come here. | 03:46 |
| mado | DasEi, ... yeah ... just wanted to say ... it helps me with some general things :) | 03:46 |
| Lillymon | I want to copy a file. How is that hard? | 03:46 |
| fccf | You can't get really good at linux without breaking it a few times along the way | 03:46 |
| zopiac | DasEi: just booted back up, it says it cant find package vlc-data...vlc-nox is installed but cvlc doesnt work still | 03:46 |
| mado | i stumbled across "gcstar" in "add/remove" | 03:46 |

| RHorse | rredd4 iwlist will work in a terminal: just type iwlist <DEV> scanning where <DEV> is the device such as ath0, wlan0, or what have you. You can obtain your devices by typing iwconfig and ifconfig | 03:47 |
| Lillymon | Can I just reformat the entire pendrive? There's nothing important on it, and I just want to copy this file so I can go downstairs and do something else with today. | 03:47 |
| DasEi | zopiac: which version do you use ? jaunty ? | 03:47 |
| ctmjr | fccf: a few? but then again am not good at it yet | 03:47 |
| linuxnewb | anyone know why the windows clock gets reset when i boot into ubuntu | 03:47 |
| zopiac | DasEi: i do believe so | 03:47 |

| f00f | what the 4gb seg fixup error anyone know ? | 03:50 |
| zopiac | Lillymon: sorry i wasnt paying much attention before | 03:50 |

| Lillymon | It's an ext2 pendrive, almost empty, mounted at /media/disk | 03:50 |

| llua | dasEi, i did that but i get it in this format "/dev/sda1" not the "hd,0,0" | 03:50 |
| zopiac | Lillymon: is it write-protected? | 03:50 |
| Flannel | Lillymon: You can just format it, there's a few ways to do it, this thread discusses a few of them: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=468212 | 03:50 |
| Lillymon | zopiac: I don't know, there doesn't seem be any physical way of write-protecting it, I forget if there's a soft way. | 03:51 |
| zopiac | DasEi: the other command is still going | 03:51 |
| gandhi | lol, i think i broke ubuntu on my desktop by upgrading the kernel | 03:51 |
| gandhi | awesome | 03:51 |
| IdleOne | Lillymon: My point was that your attitude will reflect the type of help you get. your issue is that you don't have read/write permission on the pen drive | 03:51 |

| Cynary | zopiac: Cool | 03:55 |
| linuxnewb | Flannel thanks i will find out later if that link helped me | 03:55 |
| Cynary | zopiac: Must be some problem, perhaps the drivers :/ | 03:55 |
| llua | fccf, nope that link doesnt help, win7 installs but after it reboots grub loads ubuntu and the win7 install doesnt finish | 03:55 |
| zopiac | not online, since i didnt have an actual key, but it worked SP mode | 03:55 |
| Cynary | zopiac: Do you have any ideas about my current problem? xD | 03:55 |
| zopiac | no :\ | 03:55 |
| zopiac | but nice game :D | 03:56 |
| IdleOne | Lillymon: try unmounting and remounting the device and see if you can then copy | 03:56 |
| Cynary | zopiac: ok, tks. When I format my computer again, and install linux, i'll try installing it again. | 03:56 |
| zopiac | :) have fun | 03:56 |
| Lillymon | zopiac: Right, looked at the website, did not understand any of it or why NFS is involved in anyway at any point in this, and it still doesn't work. | 03:56 |
| heogen | hi, in ubuntu we have an encarta like windows? | 03:56 |

| zopiac | lol ok, Lillymon, sorry i havent been able to help either | 03:57 |
| IdleOne | Lillymon: please calm down. it's frustrating I know but you getting upset wont help | 03:57 |
| heogen | for to study general culture? | 03:57 |

| rafase282 | can anyone tell me what are the universe and multiverse source list for ubuntu 9.04? | 03:58 |
| zopiac | Lillymon: well try unmounting the drive and mounting it with mount -t nfs nfsserver:/path/to/share /mnt/local, but tweaked a bit. | 03:58 |
| Lillymon | IdleOne: Well what am I supposed to do? Mounting a USB pendrive is far from an esoteric task, yet it seem Kubuntu is determined to make it as needlessly complicated as possible. | 03:58 |

| vinpan | i have a question how do you setup a server? | 03:59 |
| fccf | jumpingjack: #ubuntu-devel | 03:59 |
| coordinador | sometimes my ubuntu 9.04 gets frozen | 03:59 |
| fccf | vinpan: what kind of server? | 03:59 |
| vinpan | webserver | 03:59 |
| Lillymon | zopiac: Define 'a bit'. Do I leave the 'path/to/share' as it is? Bear in mind I've never encountered NFS before today, and have no intent of ever seeing its ugly face ever again. | 03:59 |
| fccf | vinpan: there are a number of webservers available | 03:59 |
| vinpan | i know somthing with apache | 03:59 |
| jumpingjack | fccf: thanks | 03:59 |

| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about webserver | 04:00 |
| fccf | !apache | 04:00 |
| ubottu | LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 04:00 |
| zopiac | Lillymon: well neither have i :/ but /path/to/share tells you to change it to whatever path the share is, but i dont know what that would be :P but this moght be a step in the right direction. | 04:00 |
| vinpan | whats the easyest one? | 04:00 |
| webbb8 | i need some help when i try to compile from source i always get this http://pastebin.ca/1559259 please look and see if you know why im running into problems | 04:00 |
| Lillymon | Right now, I'm severely tempted to just destroy the pendrive and forget about this whole task. That way it can't waste another hour of my life. | 04:00 |

| gandhi | myztaken, check the refresh rate | 04:01 |
| themoebius | does ubuntu have a migration assistant that can import all my stuff from my old windows box that's on the same network? | 04:01 |
| gandhi | Lillymon, it probably won't | 04:01 |
| optraz | hi, why is rrd php not included in latest ubuntu? | 04:02 |
| zopiac | Lillymon: but it may put you through other trouble, being windows and all. but it may not be as bad as this :P you never know | 04:02 |
| clearscreen | webbb8: you have some outdated libraries, you may want to consider backporting them | 04:02 |
| Lillymon | Also, that mount command is a fantastic catch-22. I can't mount '/media/disk', because '/media/disk' doesn't exist yet, because it won't exist until I've mounted it! | 04:03 |
| vinpan | so set that up and i can upload my website to it right? | 04:03 |
| myztaken | gandhi, Could you be more especific? The allowed and recommended refresh rate is 60hz, however while using archlinux I tried adding a Mode line to the xorg.conf without any success | 04:03 |

| ubottu | mattperry: 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. :-) | 05:37 |
| nOStahl | nautilus's option dosnt work | 05:37 |

| Lartza_ | Well this atleast still works somehow | 05:40 |
| sd32 | puppy runs good on a p3 | 05:41 |
| Lartza_ | But thanks anyway, could tehre be any possibility this is not psu or motherboard? on the ubuntu computer? | 05:41 |
| Lartza_ | Wait, I changed some parts recently... | 05:42 |
| syntex | Lartza_: More likely motherboard rather than ps. | 05:42 |
| Lartza_ | syntex: On which one pentium 3 or the new? | 05:42 |
| shazbotmcnasty | I did "sudo lshw" to see what kind and how many RAM ports I have, and it lists 4 with RAM sticks in them, does that mean I have no more slots? I don't really want to disassemble my computer at the moment and see if I have any more ports... how do I tell if I have any open ports? | 05:43 |
| leaf-sheep | No need to disassemble your computer. Shutdown, unplug power, take out the cover and take a look. ;3 | 05:44 |

| shazbotmcnasty | then I suggest looking in system>preferences - and changing your font from there. | 05:48 |
| coordinador | shazbotmcnasty, do you think that could be for the UXA? | 05:48 |
| kigng999 | hi | 05:49 |

| Armageddon | how do I upgrade from Ubuntu to Ubuntu server ? | 05:50 |
| error404notfound | shazbotmcnasty, i did, no use | 05:50 |
| shazbotmcnasty | I don't know much about that, but I tried to go from 8.10 to 9.04 a while back but ATI had dropped support for my video card, so there was no driver available | 05:50 |
| MenZa | Armageddon: You don't. They're the same, except Desktop has a GUI, which Server doesn't. | 05:51 |
| shazbotmcnasty | which lead me to downgrading back to 8.10 | 05:51 |
| bucky | !cn | weidhhe | 05:51 |

| weidhhe | i know i can visit chinese channel,thanx for ur reminding | 05:51 |
| coordinador | Shazzamy_, what about if you edit sources.list? | 05:51 |
| weidhhe | but there is nobody | 05:52 |
| MenZa | weidhhe: If you expect help in here, speak English. We can't provide Chinese support. | 05:52 |
| bucky | weidhhe, /msg NickServ REGISTER | 05:52 |
| weidhhe | all chinese is too smart that they have no problems ya | 05:52 |
| weidhhe | hahah | 05:52 |
| weidhhe | i know | 05:52 |
| Armageddon | MenZa: no GUI in the server Ubuntu ? | 05:53 |
| MenZa | No, Armageddon. | 05:53 |
| Flannel | Armageddon: Not by default anyway | 05:53 |
| Armageddon | how about applications ? | 05:53 |
| MenZa | Armageddon: Ubuntu Desktop comes with GNOME, Server comes with no UI. | 05:53 |
| Armageddon | isn't there server application ? | 05:53 |
| MenZa | Those are found in, you know, Desktop as well, Armageddon. | 05:53 |
| Flannel | Armageddon: depends on what you choose to install during the installation process | 05:53 |
| Armageddon | MenZa: same same ? | 05:53 |
| MenZa | Want an ssh server? Install openssh-server. Want a webserver? Install apache. | 05:53 |
| Armageddon | O_o | 05:54 |
| Armageddon | MenZa, I can do that on Ubuntu also | 05:54 |
| Armageddon | no need for Ubuntu server | 05:54 |
| MenZa | I'm *talking* Ubuntu. | 05:54 |
| weidhhe | shazbotmcnasty,u can build ur own ati driver ya,ko file... | 05:54 |
| dcope | Is there a command to tell me what network cards I have? | 05:54 |
| Flannel | Armageddon: correct. There's no significant difference between them besides the default packages. | 05:54 |
| weidhhe | ifconfig ,dcope | 05:54 |
| MenZa | dcope: lspci should list all your PCI hardware, including your LAN card. | 05:54 |
| weidhhe | haha | 05:54 |
| mattperry | anyone can help with vsftpd.conf? | 05:54 |
| weidhhe | menza,its ifconfig not lspci!!!! | 05:55 |
| MenZa | !anyone | mattperry | 05:55 |
| ubottu | mattperry: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 05:55 |
| Flannel | Armageddon: unlike other operating systems, there's no difference between a "server" program and a "desktop" program, they're just things that run. | 05:55 |
| dcope | MenZa: great, thanks | 05:55 |
| MenZa | weidhhe: ifconfig will display current network connections, not cards. Please don't give misleading support in here. | 05:55 |
| Lartza_ | Could that be a faulty capacitor? One on my motherboard has a minor bulge on the top | 05:55 |
| Armageddon | Flannel, I know that, I just thought there would be firewalls and stuff to manage a network by default, that's why I was asking | 05:55 |
| weidhhe | menza,but lspci just give driver and hard info,not ip info!!!!!! | 05:55 |
| MenZa | That's not what he asked for, weidhhe. I think the language barrier is proving a problem here. | 05:56 |
| weidhhe | if u want to know ip info,should ifconfig work | 05:56 |

| tenach | Sorry guys wrong channel | 05:56 |
| weidhhe | menza,okok, | 05:56 |
| losher | Lartza_: a bulging capacitor is usually a bad sign. Are you planning to remove it and solder in a new one? | 05:57 |
| Flannel | Armageddon: Ubuntu (desktop) has a firewall built in already | 05:57 |
| weidhhe | according my understanding,he should ask which one interface is transfering date... | 05:57 |
| Lartza_ | losher: No | 05:57 |
| Armageddon | Flannel: oh ? | 05:57 |
| Lartza_ | ANd I am not sure it's bulging | 05:57 |
| Flannel | !firewall > Armageddon | 05:58 |
| ubottu | Armageddon, please see my private message | 05:58 |
| Lartza_ | cant see it from side | 05:58 |
| Lartza_ | well it is bulged but from the top only | 05:58 |

| dean | can anybody walk me through how to install software such as games etc on ubuntu? i'm just starting to use ubuntu and trying to fall in love with it :) | 05:59 |
| Lartza_ | I can feel it with my finger, the other capacitors have like hole in the top of them cause the casing is higher than the metallic top, here the metallic top has curved above the plastic cover | 05:59 |
| Lartza_ | dean: Sure | 05:59 |
| pengavin | hello guys | 05:59 |
| pengavin | How i skip any step in Ubiquity? | 06:00 |
| Lartza_ | dean: Can I pm you? | 06:00 |
| dean | sure | 06:00 |
| losher | Lartza_: if you suspect a hardware problem, the only practical solution is to swap it out. You could run memtest overnight first just in case you have a RAM problem... | 06:00 |
| === exsa0xx_ is now known as mUaNiEz | ||
| Lartza_ | losher: THe memtest reboots and computer also reboots without peripherals and ram | 06:00 |

| FooZ | /query userna | 06:02 |
| losher | FooZ: 9.04 is notorious for sound problems. Tried 8.04 LTS...? | 06:02 |
| tanjir | Lartza_, click right button and select open dialog window | 06:02 |
| dean | am i missing something? LOL | 06:02 |
| FooZ | losher: Not quite, but I've tried a few different flavors of (fedora, xubuntu, etc) | 06:03 |
| weidhhe | all ubuntu sound notorious,,it would result much more lazy linux users | 06:03 |
| Lartza_ | dean: You are missing my private messages :S | 06:03 |
| dean | hmmmmmmm how do i accept | 06:04 |
| dean | nevermind found it | 06:04 |
| losher | FooZ: no sound on *any* of those distros? | 06:04 |

| weidhhe | dean | 06:04 |
| weidhhe | what a man | 06:04 |
| FooZ | losher: nope =( | 06:04 |
| Lartza_ | weidhhe: I already got him to my care :) | 06:04 |
| losher | FooZ: maybe your hardware's faulty? Does it work on, cough, windows? | 06:04 |
| FooZ | losher: yeah it does | 06:05 |
| gandhi | drivers might just not be good in linux | 06:05 |
| gandhi | it happens sometimes, just gotta wait for support if you can't write your own | 06:05 |
| StupidWeasel | Have you grabbed the latest alsa release? | 06:05 |
| losher | FooZ: I agree with gandhi. Try googling to see if it's a known problem... | 06:05 |
| StupidWeasel | Or is it not *that* kinda sound problem? | 06:06 |
| FooZ | I will take a look here | 06:06 |

| Xcerca | i was trying to use wine | 06:18 |
| gandhi | like you didn't add the xorg updates repo or xorg edgers? | 06:18 |
| drygrain | rww, thanks very much | 06:18 |
| weidhhe | xcerca,love cs?not wine but dul boot sys | 06:18 |
| losher | FooZ: searching by codec seems like the wrong approach. You want to search by chipset... | 06:18 |
| rww | drygrain: no problem :) | 06:18 |
| Xcerca | gandhi , no i didn't | 06:18 |
| drygrain | rww, my gf will now accept linux now that i can find my video files | 06:18 |
| drygrain | and play them with VLC | 06:18 |
| drygrain | :D | 06:18 |
| weidhhe | :D | 06:19 |
| gandhi | well, adding the xorg-edgers ppa might help, let me install the 185 drivers | 06:19 |
| Xcerca | weidhhe, yea , i have that, but if it works good in wine i won't have to use windows | 06:19 |
| JeoTheLeo | hello | 06:19 |
| weidhhe | use vlc as a stream server | 06:19 |
| Xcerca | gandhi , ok, so add the repo for x org ? | 06:19 |
| drygrain | ? | 06:19 |
| FooZ | losher: My chipset is intel, but according to this... http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/sound/alsa/ALSA-Configuration.txt ... the module isn't listed | 06:19 |
| gandhi | yeah, just look up xorg edgers at launchpad.net | 06:19 |
| JeoTheLeo | I just upgraded to jaunty....while upgrading there were two main errors that made me worried | 06:19 |
| drygrain | i have quite a collection on my windows (soon to be ex-windows) box | 06:20 |
| drygrain | the one i just wubi'd | 06:20 |
| Xcerca | gandhi , just edgers ? whats that vanilla you were talking about ? is that ubuntu with the default repos only ? | 06:20 |
| drygrain | now that i know its as simple as /hosts/ | 06:20 |
| gandhi | yeah, vanilla is default | 06:21 |
| losher | FooZ: I think you need to get more specific to have a chance of finding sound drivers. You need to know the exact chipset model of your onboard sound card. Try sudo lspci -v or maybe lshw... | 06:21 |
| RZC | join #boycottnovell | 06:21 |
| maco | RZC: please dont spam | 06:21 |
| drygrain | i may jusst leave windows on there, but boot from ubuntu as default. Anyone know how to change the default OS setting at startup, when it gives the option? | 06:21 |
| weidhhe | novell is good ya | 06:22 |

| Nathaniel1 | going to go upgrade my kernel I think | 06:23 |
| weidhhe | english is ur first lang?but sounds not that native tho... | 06:23 |
| weidhhe | hehe | 06:23 |
| Xcerca | gandhi , is xorg-edgers a repo that i can add ? | 06:23 |
| gandhi | yeah | 06:24 |
| gandhi | you just add it to software sources and add the key | 06:24 |
| drygrain | what do i change in menu.lst | 06:24 |
| Xcerca | a deb .... jaunty ? | 06:24 |
| gandhi | they even have the kernel update to the karmic kernel to get some of the xorg updates to work better | 06:24 |
| gandhi | its pretty neat | 06:24 |
| weidhhe | default ,,follow number... | 06:24 |
| weidhhe | i speak to dry | 06:25 |

| weidhhe | ehmmm | 06:25 |
| FooZ | losher: http://pastebin.com/m72c5226f | 06:26 |
| drygrain | yes | 06:26 |
| drygrain | do i uncomment "default num" | 06:26 |
| weidhhe | NO | 06:26 |
| drygrain | or change the "default (0)" | 06:26 |
| weidhhe | u will have no choice when swich on | 06:27 |
| drygrain | ohh ok | 06:27 |
| weidhhe | no () | 06:27 |
| drygrain | yeah no () | 06:27 |
| weidhhe | just num change is ok | 06:27 |
| drygrain | its just default 0 | 06:27 |
| drygrain | just change it to 1? | 06:27 |
| weidhhe | default 1 ! | 06:27 |
| weidhhe | yes | 06:27 |

| drygrain | bear with me please :D | 06:30 |
| Circs | Howdy, I'm trying to make an Ubuntu install USB drive and am having difficulties. Could anyone lend a hand. I am unable to satisfy dependencies for UNetbooting and usb-creator is not found in a package search | 06:30 |
| weidhhe | 8-) | 06:30 |
| losher | alus: fstab is processed really early on. What are you trying to do? | 06:31 |
| drygrain | is there a ubuntu chat channel | 06:31 |
| drygrain | where i can chat freeely :) | 06:31 |
| leaf-sheep | !ot | drygrain | 06:31 |
| losher | drygrain: #ubuntu-offtopic | 06:31 |
| ubottu | drygrain: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 06:31 |
| alus | losher: I need to create a directory so that it can be used as a mount point | 06:31 |
| drygrain | cool :) | 06:31 |
| alus | losher: because of my environment, I can't make sure the directory exists when the machine is shut down | 06:31 |
| weidhhe | i always see losher as loser | 06:33 |
| weidhhe | haha | 06:33 |
| losher | alus: you can create /etc/rc.local, put the mkdir in there, and also a mount command. No need to do this before fstab runs... | 06:33 |
| losher | weidhhe: time you moved to #ubuntu-offtopic | 06:33 |
| Wildbat | >< eclipse is much slower and breakpoint isn't in unbuntu then windows | 06:33 |
| alus | losher: I guess I could remove all the lines from /etc/fstab and move them to mount commands, but one of these directories is /var | 06:34 |
| alus | losher: isn't /etc/rc.local a little late for that? | 06:34 |
| Flannel | Circs: You want to make a USB stick to install? or USB stick that's a system? | 06:35 |
| Circs | Flannel: USB install | 06:35 |
| Circs | Flannel: USB to install | 06:36 |
| losher | alus: no need to remove anything from /etc/fstab. You can re-issue mount commands at any time. In a normal system, /var should never get deleted anyway. Is there something unusual about your system you haven't told us? | 06:36 |
| === ericm_ is now known as ericm-afk | ||
| drygrain | Crap | 06:36 |
| Flannel | Circs: Have you tried using the USB creator magic thing on an Ubuntu install (or live CD) | 06:36 |
| drygrain | weidhhe, it didnt work | 06:36 |
| alus | losher: it's running in EC2, and I'm mounting /var to a drive which will not get wiped on reboot | 06:36 |
| Circs | Flannel: I don't see anything like that, but I'm on 8.04 | 06:36 |
| Flannel | Circs: like this, except 9.04 (I don't believe anything significant has changed): http://www.pendrivelinux.com/ubuntu-810-install-using-the-built-in-usb-installer/ | 06:36 |
| weidhhe | did u save the change to menu.lst? | 06:36 |
| drygrain | weidhhe, the boot menu appears to be different than menu.lst | 06:37 |
| weidhhe | hehe | 06:37 |
| Flannel | Circs: Ah, grab a newer liveCD and it'll be able to do it. It'll make a system from an arbitrary iso. | 06:37 |
| drygrain | 30 second timer instead of 3 and it also has "press f8 for windows troubleshooting" | 06:37 |
| Circs | Flannel: No access to optical drive for either computer in question at the moment | 06:37 |
| alus | losher: now, I could make a fake /var which gets mounted over, but I want to make sure I mount over it before anything critical happens | 06:37 |
| weidhhe | you should not change number of timeout ya | 06:38 |
| drygrain | does it make a difference that it's installied via wubi? | 06:38 |
| syntex | Is there a client similar to mIRC for Linux? Mainly the feature to create scripts. | 06:38 |
| drygrain | i did not change number of timeout | 06:38 |
| drygrain | i noticed it was 3 | 06:38 |
| drygrain | when editing menu.lst | 06:38 |
| Flannel | Circs: we can try to backport it, let me take a look | 06:38 |
| weidhhe | ehmmmm | 06:38 |
| drygrain | but on startup its 30sec | 06:38 |
| Circs | Flannel: UNetbootin says that it cannot resolve a dependency, let me see. libqt4-network is what it can't get | 06:38 |
| weidhhe | cat menu.lst? | 06:39 |
| weidhhe | and paste it? | 06:39 |
| Flannel | Circs: Looks like usb-creator should be a painless backport.... Oooh, so painless, that it's already in -backports | 06:39 |
| drygrain | its on other comp | 06:39 |
| drygrain | but i will try | 06:39 |
| weidhhe | ssh into it | 06:39 |
| Circs | Flannel: What magic should I concentrate on working then? | 06:40 |
| drygrain | wtf | 06:40 |
| drygrain | dude its booting up weird | 06:40 |
| drygrain | all i changed was 0 to 1 | 06:40 |
| weidhhe | :| | 06:40 |
| losher | alus: ok, well if you grep for fstab in /etc/init.d/* you'll see the scripts which mount stuff (in my release it's done in mountall.sh). I suppose that's where you'd test for /var and mkdir it if it doesn't exist... | 06:40 |
| drygrain | it has a lot of options here | 06:40 |
| drygrain | "drop to root terminal, safe mode, etc" | 06:40 |
| Flannel | Circs: Just install that package, I'll just give you a direct link: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy-backports/all/usb-creator/download | 06:40 |
| weidhhe | dude,how wired ur ubuntu is | 06:40 |
| drygrain | aha theres my prompt | 06:41 |
| drygrain | its 9.04 :/ | 06:41 |
| _ged | in the var/sys/syslog, it displays the logs of the system including the cron right?? what if i only wanted to see the logs of the cron?? or redirect it to some file,then the output should be like the output of the syslog that displays what time the cron takes place. So that I can easily see the logs of my cron. Thanks | 06:41 |
| alus | losher: neat, thanks! | 06:41 |
| drygrain | i installed it on this box with wubi though | 06:41 |
| drygrain | if that makes a difference | 06:41 |
| Circs | Flannel = Magic | 06:42 |
| devrethman | What do I need to apt-get install in order to be able to compile 32 bit stuff? | 06:42 |

| drygrain | weidhhe, how to ssh into other box? on same wireless network | 06:42 |
| weidhhe | oh,long story to say... | 06:43 |

| tyler_d | I cannot get my external CD rom drive to mount - USB - running ubuntu 9.04 64 bit | 06:51 |
| losher | devrethman: dunno much about it. Try googling 'ubuntu gcc multilib' | 06:53 |
| dgee | ohhhh I see why editing grub/menu.lst isnt doing any good; option 0 (default) is normal Ubuntu, 1 is recovery mode, 2 is prior kernel, et cetera | 06:54 |
| dgee | something is handling the boot before grub | 06:54 |
| drygrain | i think its a windows application | 06:54 |
| dgee | you dont say | 06:54 |
| drygrain | i do | 06:55 |
| drygrain | :X | 06:55 |
| losher | altf2o: sorry, but if you can't find the irc channel unaided, you're probably not ready to talk to kernel developers. Try http://kernelnewbies.org/ instead | 06:55 |
| drygrain | lol | 06:55 |
| vadviktor | somehow true | 06:56 |
| altf2o | losher: Pidgin doesn't appear to have a "list channel" feature, hence my question. | 06:56 |
| vadviktor | I am using Pidgin and it DOES have list channels :) | 06:56 |

| drygrain | change the default and remove the 30 second timer | 07:04 |

| drygrain | the boot menu that comes up first is the windows OS selector thingy | 07:05 |
| weidhhe | not ,vista should use bcdedit... | 07:05 |
| yinlong | but actually ,the so called "xp " is vista | 07:05 |
| Flannel | weidhhe: Is there something we can help you with today? | 07:05 |

| LogicFan | CatEater, you mean a VM app for ubuntu? | 07:21 |
| Boohbah | CatEater: for running desktop OS's/apps use VirtualBox | 07:21 |
| LogicFan | or running ubuntu in a VM | 07:21 |
| Boohbah | !virtualbox | 07:21 |
| LogicFan | yeah virtualbox is great | 07:21 |
| ubottu | virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from the package 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox | 07:21 |

| tyler_d | why is sshd always listening on root? | 07:27 |
| Xodiac13 | Gelegrodan: ive tried going to the alsa mixer and turing everything up and nothing happens | 07:27 |
| Gelegrodan | so you run from terminal`? | 07:27 |
| Xodiac13 | Gelegrodan: yes | 07:27 |
| tyler_d | even after modifying /etc/ssh/sshd_config to state EnableRootLogin no it still allowing login as root | 07:27 |
| Zachk18 | Xodiac13: make sure the audio is on pulse | 07:27 |
| losher | tyler_d: it has to run as root to listen on port 22 | 07:27 |
| Flannel | weidhhe: Because you're generatingnoise that isn't helpful to anyone. | 07:27 |
| Gelegrodan | Xodiac13: try as root | 07:27 |
| alus | someone should make a Wubi which uses VirtualBox instead of rebooting | 07:27 |
| losher | tyler_d: did you restart it after changing the config? | 07:28 |
| Xodiac13 | Zachk18: how do i put it on pulse sorry im new | 07:28 |
| tyler_d | ie. ssh root@x.x.x.x losher: yes | 07:28 |
| drygrain | erk, Flannel, | 07:28 |
| weidhhe | i just put on my views on all tools.. | 07:28 |
| drygrain | where is autoexec.bat | 07:28 |
| drygrain | :( | 07:28 |
| weidhhe | '< | 07:28 |
| Gelegrodan | drygrain: what you need that for? | 07:29 |
| Flannel | drygrain: should be at the root of your DOS filesystem C:\autoexec.bat or D:\autoexec.bat or whatever | 07:29 |
| losher | tyler_d: no, I mean restart the server i.e. sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart | 07:29 |
| drygrain | i installed with wubi, so it uses windows to choose os at boot | 07:29 |
| weidhhe | drygrain, maybe is a hidden file | 07:29 |
| drygrain | i want to change the default os to ubuntu | 07:29 |
| tyler_d | losher: yes | 07:29 |
| Gelegrodan | drygrain: its boot.ini | 07:29 |
| Gelegrodan | you should change | 07:29 |
| tyler_d | losher: even bounced the box | 07:29 |
| drygrain | oh | 07:29 |
| Xodiac13 | Zachk18: how do i put it on pulse sorry im new | 07:29 |
| Circs | losher: Sorry about that, computer decided to diaf | 07:29 |
| Fu4ny | it's boot.ini, you should not touch your autoexec.bat | 07:29 |
| drygrain | C:\windows? | 07:29 |
| drygrain | or in C:\ | 07:30 |
| weidhhe | boot.ini is valid only in xp and 2000 | 07:30 |
| Fu4ny | c:\boot.ini | 07:30 |
| Gelegrodan | drygrain: press win+r | 07:30 |
| Gelegrodan | drygrain: type msconfig, go to systemstart | 07:30 |
| Gelegrodan | change ubuntu to default | 07:30 |
| Gelegrodan | save | 07:30 |
| Gelegrodan | reboot | 07:30 |

| weidhhe | vista and window 7 should be modify bootmgr via bcdedit... | 07:30 |
| Xodiac13 | Zachk18: how do i put it on pulse sorry im new | 07:30 |
| Circs | losher: Yeah but it didn't work | 07:30 |
| Zachk18 | Xodiac: opposite click on your sound icon, click on sound settings | 07:31 |
| drygrain | Gelegrodan, | 07:31 |
| losher | Circs: so you did both steps and still can't update? | 07:31 |
| drygrain | i am at msconfig | 07:31 |
| Xodiac13 | Zachk18: im using terminal | 07:31 |
| drygrain | there is no "systemstart" with Ubuntu as an option | 07:31 |
| Zachk18 | oh ok... | 07:31 |
| Zachk18 | why? | 07:31 |
| Gelegrodan | drygrain: you only have a windows line there? | 07:31 |
| Xodiac13 | Zachk18: i have an older laptop and its very fast on the minimal install with blackbox wdm and all the others i looked at a guide | 07:32 |
| akn | i really dont know... this is my sound card Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller | 07:32 |

| drygrain | i put ubuntu on this box with wubi this afternoon | 07:32 |
| weidhhe | see arould | 07:32 |
| akn | cant seem to find any thing | 07:32 |
| Xodiac13 | Zachk18: i install alsa-utils | 07:32 |
| losher | tyler_d: on my ssh, the parameter is PermitRootLogin, not EnableRootLogin ? | 07:32 |
| Gelegrodan | drygrain: only a windows line there? hm.. maybe wubi uses grub or something, then youhave to change from ubuntu | 07:32 |
| Xodiac13 | Zachk18: but i cant use this command alsaconf it says command not found | 07:32 |
| akn | anyone? | 07:32 |
| losher | akn: can you be more specific. What are you looking for, and how? | 07:33 |
| tyler_d | losher: you are correct its PermitRootLogin no | 07:33 |
| Gelegrodan | Xodiac13: do you run as root ? | 07:33 |
| nubae|work | join #ltsp | 07:33 |
| tyler_d | losher: just for me try ssh root@127.0.0.1 | 07:33 |
| tyler_d | losher: or alternately try your ip above | 07:34 |
| losher | tyler_d: so you set it on the server and then bounced the server? | 07:34 |
| drygrain | Gelegrodan, I got it! | 07:34 |
| tyler_d | losher: tried to sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart | 07:34 |
| Dayofswords | how do i limit the number of kernals on the grub display? | 07:34 |
| tyler_d | losher: as well bounced the server -- ie. init 6 | 07:35 |
| drygrain | I set Ubuntu as default and lowered the auto-timedelay to 5sec instead of 30 | 07:35 |
| drygrain | success!! :) | 07:35 |
| weidhhe | cong! | 07:35 |
| Xodiac13 | Gelegrodan: yes but i will check again | 07:35 |
| weidhhe | :D | 07:35 |
| Xodiac13 | Gelegrodan: when i type alsaconf it says command not found | 07:35 |

| drygrain | msconfig werked for me | 07:35 |
| Gelegrodan | try apt-get it | 07:35 |

| Gelegrodan | i dont use ubuntu :) | 07:36 |
| Xodiac13 | Gelegrodan: o okay | 07:36 |
| Circs | losher: I think I did your part wrong, but this worked: http://gentoo-blog.de/ubuntu/ubuntu-gpg-error-httpppalaunchpadnet-intrepid-release/ | 07:36 |
| losher | tyler_d: the only other thing I can suggest is to stop the server and instead run it by hand /usr/sbin/sshd -d and try ssh'ing into it, and look through the debugs for clues... | 07:36 |
| losher | Circs: ok, glad it's working... | 07:36 |

| MenZa | Personally, I'd make sure I had seperate / and /home partitions, as well as a swap partition. That's all the advice I can give. | 08:11 |
| miguelonnnn | no it's nothing about booting the hdd Circs , it's just to make a list of atached disks , it will just say what disks are connected to the computer, so i know which "file" is the disk in the ubuntu session | 08:11 |
| Xodiac13 | i really need help on getting my sound to work i have tried everything and i am new to linux i love it and i will continue to learn i need to get my sound to work i did a command line install i have blackbox, wdm i installed alsa-utils and i cant get sound please help | 08:12 |

| MenZa | Sure, sure. But try again in a bit, or perhaps start by supplying us with a bit of ifnformation. What have you done to fix it? Which sound card do you have? etc. | 08:13 |
| PapaGoose | Circs: I assume its actually a scsi drive? | 08:13 |
| MenZa | Xodiac13: All these things could be helpful. And you could also search the forums while you wait. | 08:13 |
| miguelonnnn | for example Circs , if i plug my usb to my computer, and type mount, it will say "fat_32_system on disk2s1", so i know your disk is on disk2s1 file of your computer system, and it's fat formated" | 08:13 |

| Circs | PapaGoose: SATA, but linux sees most things as SCSI anyways | 08:14 |
| Circs | miguelonnnn: Ty for trying | 08:14 |
| miguelonnnn | sry then, i don't know how can i help. What system are you in now Circs ? | 08:14 |
| miguelonnnn | ok no problem :( | 08:14 |
| Circs | miguelonnnn: A laptop, the system I am trying to install on is a HTPC | 08:14 |
| drygrain | They all say "*package* cannot be installed on your computer type (i386). Either the application requires special hardware features or the vendor decided not to support your computer type." | 08:15 |
| weidhhe | xodiac13,what is ur mainboard chipset?esp. southbridge chip! | 08:15 |
| drygrain | on every single available package | 08:15 |
| herenbdy | ubuntu no longer supports i386!? :p | 08:15 |
| drygrain | ...? | 08:16 |
| miguelonnnn | but to install ubuntu into the hdd, you need first a system. What system you got in your laptop Circs ? | 08:16 |
| G-man | quick question, im going to do a full ubuntu install... just wondering about how much space to allocate for each partition | 08:16 |
| * herenbdy is not serious | 08:16 | |
| drygrain | ok | 08:16 |
| PapaGoose | Circs: Just thought it was odd since my sata drives always appear as /dev/sd*, I've never noted them appearing as scsi | 08:16 |
| Xodiac13 | Jan500: uh lol how do i copy and paste from terminal to xchat sorry | 08:16 |
| herenbdy | G-man: ubuntu without the home directory only takes a few gigs | 08:16 |
| Xodiac13 | Jan500: i did the command i just need to know the keystrokes | 08:16 |
| G-man | give me figures... | 08:16 |
| MenZa | G-man: How much disk space do you have you wish to use for Ubuntu? | 08:16 |
| indus | G-man: depends on your usage, but minimum of 10 gb for / and the rest for home is good | 08:16 |
| G-man | like what 5gig then 20, then what | 08:16 |
| herenbdy | G-man: my ubuntu install is currently using...... 3-4 GB without my /home dir | 08:16 |
| MenZa | G-man: (in total) | 08:16 |
| jhesketh_ | I'm a bit confused. I have a thumbdrive with 3 fat16 partitions on it with an msdos partition table (all created in gparted). Somebody is trying to tell me they want to "assign drive letters" to the partitions (for windows). However, it is my understanding that the drive letter isn't held in the partition table and it's simply assigned by windows when it is first plugged in? (seems like a windows question, but I'm more askin | 08:16 |
| jhesketh_ | g about the way partition tables work ;)) | 08:16 |
| drygrain | Anyone can help with my problem? | 08:17 |
| drygrain | I've run into a problem with my Add/Remove Packages | 08:17 |
| herenbdy | G-man: 10GB for / and w/e you want for /home sounds good | 08:17 |
| drygrain | They all say "*package* cannot be installed on your computer type (i386). Either the application requires special hardware features or the vendor decided not to support your computer type." | 08:17 |
| MenZa | jhesketh_: Right click My Computer -> Manage -> Disk Management. You can change the drive letters there. | 08:17 |
| weidhhe | install any linux distro in any distyo is easy,if in windows,its difficult | 08:17 |
| G-man | kk | 08:17 |
| Jan500 | Xodiac13: crtl + shift + c ? | 08:17 |
| MenZa | G-man: It really depends on how much space you have in total. | 08:17 |
| G-man | that will keep ubuntu crisp | 08:17 |
| G-man | aye? | 08:17 |
| Xodiac13 | Jan500: thz | 08:17 |
| indus | G-man: remember, the more software you install, the more the / is used up | 08:17 |
| herenbdy | G-man: yeah, ubuntu itself does not take much space, it's all your personal stuff that does | 08:17 |
| MenZa | G-man: If you had a figure for that, it'd be easier to give you a recommendation. | 08:17 |
| jhesketh_ | MenZa: Yes, but changing letters in there only sets it for the current machine right? the information isn't stored on a partition table is it? | 08:18 |
| Xodiac13 | Jan500: thats wasnt it | 08:18 |
| MenZa | Correct. | 08:18 |
| MenZa | You can't do that. | 08:18 |
| miguelonnnn | you can label internally the disk, so it has the same label for any computer you plug the device | 08:18 |
| jlist | hi all, sorry for a stupid question - how to check what version of ubuntu i'm running, as in 7.04 or 7.10, etc.? | 08:18 |
| G-man | its about 130gigs | 08:18 |
| MenZa | A label isn't a drive letter though, miguelonnnn | 08:18 |
| indus | G-man: all official software or debs you download take up space in / | 08:18 |
| miguelonnnn | yeah :( | 08:18 |
| G-man | kk | 08:18 |
| MenZa | G-man: And RAM? | 08:18 |
| G-man | 2 gigs | 08:18 |
| jhesketh_ | yep, I'm familiar with labels | 08:18 |
| G-man | ram | 08:18 |
| jhesketh_ | ok thanks guys :) | 08:18 |
| indus | G-man: keep 1 gb for swap space | 08:19 |
| Jan500 | Xodiac13: which terminal do you use? | 08:19 |
| drygrain | ;[ | 08:19 |
| sub[t]rnl | jlist: lsb_release -r | 08:19 |
| indus | G-man: what is hard disk size? | 08:19 |
| MenZa | G-man: 10G /, 2G swap, rest for /home. That's my recommendation. | 08:19 |
| Xodiac13 | Jan500: xterm | 08:19 |
| jlist | got it thanks sub[t]rnl | 08:19 |
| MenZa | G-man: You probably won't use up those 10G, but that's to make sure you have enough space to fit basically what you want on it. Generally, swap should be RAMx2, but you have plenty. | 08:19 |
| MenZa | G-man: And /home... well, that takes up space. | 08:20 |
| G-man | 10g/ 2g swap in the middle rest allocate for /home | 08:20 |
| G-man | got it | 08:20 |
| G-man | thanks bro | 08:20 |

| MenZa | Sure, indus. | 08:21 |
| herenbdy | G-man: if it detects any windows partitions | 08:21 |
| antonius602 | alright..i installed ubuntu just now..and my /home is a seperate partition with loads of hidden folders..config files....it's messing things up a bit....should i rm ~/.* ? | 08:21 |

| G-man | lmfao noobuntu | 08:25 |
| G-man | haha | 08:25 |
| PapaGoose | BrendanClements: the first thing to try is to use something like Hiren's bootcd to run partitionmagic or something like that to see if the partition table can be repaired. Your second step is to use an XP boot disk run i think fixboot and fixmbr | 08:25 |
| kaushal | http://paste.ubuntu.com/267433/ | 08:25 |
| antonius602 | yeah, i like that one ll | 08:25 |
| antonius602 | lol* | 08:25 |
| PapaGoose | that overwrites Grub with the original XP bootloader, returning windows back to normal | 08:25 |
| BrendanClements | no xp boot dis | 08:25 |
| G-man | im gonna start tellin noobs to dl that | 08:26 |

| G-man | quick, just need a program/free ware to make my ubuntu cd | 08:27 |
| indus | can someone be clear what the problem of BrendanClements is | 08:27 |
| miguelonnnn | please 1 question: i've read that composition window managers work on graphics already done by the x server, but i wonder, why don't make a composition x server so you don't need 2 stages so it'll be faster? | 08:27 |
| PapaGoose | BrendanClements: hmmm....you could be in trouble then. the other thing you could do is use say an ubuntu live disk to try and repair the partition table using fsck or something, or edit your grub's menu.lst to see if that fixes it, or try to just reinstall grum | 08:27 |
| G-man | i only have blank DVDs | 08:27 |
| rose | hi,hubby | 08:27 |
| antonius602 | grub-install | 08:27 |

| BrendanClements | I tried reinstalling grub via the packet manager which did not work | 08:27 |
| antonius602 | via LIVE CD | 08:28 |
| indus | BrendanClements: so u have a problem with grub? | 08:28 |
| BrendanClements | correct | 08:28 |
| antonius602 | grub-install sda | 08:28 |
| BrendanClements | apparently. it won't let me boot anything other than the live cd | 08:28 |
| indus | BrendanClements: can u see the grub menu when u boot system | 08:28 |
| G-man | what about free easy burner | 08:28 |
| G-man | i forgot | 08:28 |
| G-man | i have one | 08:28 |
| antonius602 | is the syntax, i believe | 08:28 |
| BrendanClements | no just the Error 21 | 08:28 |
| PapaGoose | indus: it says 'grub loading' and then 'error 21' at which point nothing else can be done with grub | 08:28 |
| BrendanClements | I will try grub-install sda | 08:28 |
| antonius602 | that will work | 08:29 |
| BrendanClements | correct | 08:29 |
| indus | PapaGoose: aah thats easy | 08:29 |
| antonius602 | lol | 08:29 |
| BrendanClements | that is what it says | 08:29 |
| indus | BrendanClements: follow me | 08:29 |
| BrendanClements | okayt | 08:29 |
| indus | BrendanClements: use live cd and boot ubuntu first | 08:29 |
| BrendanClements | done | 08:29 |
| PapaGoose | indus: i'm curious too now, the only way I fixed mine what that happened was to use the xp install cd to nuke grub | 08:29 |
| antonius602 | no grub install will fix it...papa | 08:29 |
| antonius602 | i've done something kind of similar...and that worked | 08:30 |
| Dayofswords | nuke =p | 08:30 |

| antonius602 | that's why i perfer boot sector on a seperate EXT2 partition | 08:31 |

| drygrain | so guys | 08:57 |
| drygrain | i have this netbook | 08:58 |
| drygrain | and its not very good at rendering 3d | 08:58 |
| bashca | any 1 can help me fix this The OAFIID error is not a GnoMenu bug... its a gnome-panel bug. | 08:58 |
| drygrain | how do i find out what video card i have and how i can improve its functionality? | 08:58 |
| Decessus | drygrain, that's because it's a netbook | 08:58 |
| laclasse | drygrain, lspci | grep VGA | 08:58 |
| weidhhe | dry,lspci | 08:58 |
| weidhhe | hmmmm | 08:58 |
| BrendanClements | @indus "no such file or directory" but i am certain that this is because i am in live cd and the terminal starts out in the default place | 08:58 |
| drygrain | lspci? | 08:58 |
| weidhhe | or |grep video | 08:58 |
| drygrain | in terminal? | 08:58 |
| Decessus | They're not made for power, more so portability. | 08:59 |
| weidhhe | yes | 08:59 |
| AdvoWork | Hi there. i want to upgrade the CPU for my computer/server running ubuntu. Its not dual core, so am i safe/ok to swap it, i.e it wont effect anything(kernel)? | 08:59 |
| BrendanClements | what was the command to find the hard drives again so i can do a cd? | 08:59 |
| laclasse | drygrain, and as mentionned before, don't expect netbook to excel at 'rendering 3d' | 08:59 |
| bacardi1993 | hey guys i have a question. i wont to set up an bridged interface for a virtualbox on an ubuntu 8.04 server, because i have only remote access i want to use a second ip address to do this. but i don't have any idea how to do this | 08:59 |

| prince_jammys | BrendanClements: maybe you're talking about sudo fdisk -l | 08:59 |
| Dulak | My netbook 3d is slooow | 08:59 |
| drygrain | 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GME Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) | 08:59 |

| laclasse | S_A, xrandr -s 1440x900 | 09:00 |
| drygrain | :x | 09:00 |
| PapaGoose | BrendanClements: sudo fdisk -l ? | 09:00 |
| BrendanClements | thanks papa | 09:00 |
| prince_jammys | drygrain: what ubuntu release? | 09:00 |
| Jorsher | nvm i found it, sudo -o remount -t sda1 /dev/sda1 | 09:00 |
| Jorsher | thanks anyway... | 09:00 |
| drygrain | 9.04 | 09:00 |
| prince_jammys | drygrain: jaunty + intel can be quite a headache. | 09:00 |
| G-man | bah | 09:00 |
| G-man | 9.04 it is | 09:01 |
| G-man | lol | 09:01 |
| S_A | laclasse: I already checked. xrandr doesn;t list this in supported mdoes | 09:01 |
| drygrain | is that so | 09:01 |
| drygrain | intel atom processor | 09:01 |
| drygrain | :x | 09:01 |
| prince_jammys | drygrain: yes, check the release notes. (or upgrade notes_ | 09:01 |
| G-man | oh wait... can i run UO in 9.04 | 09:01 |
| G-man | ? | 09:01 |
| BrendanClements | @indus i now have /dev/sdba 1, 2 and 5 | 09:01 |
| G-man | Ultima Online with razor | 09:01 |
| laclasse | S_A, how do u know the card/monitor can do this then? | 09:01 |
| ravn2 | hey guys, anyone have used any good ocr software in ubuntu? | 09:01 |
| eueu | Hello, would somebody have any skills to check whether this smb.conf could work to share the whole system w/o restriction? http://vim.pastey.net/124886 no answer on #samba | 09:02 |
| drygrain | so will karmic work better with intel? | 09:02 |
| BrendanClements | @indus but this error occurs even when the flash drive is out meaning that the hard drives in the comp are looking for something they shouldn't be | 09:02 |
| S_A | laclasse: This is very generic wide screen resolution and shud be possible. | 09:02 |
| timClicks | drygrain: what do you mean by that, which component? | 09:02 |
| laclasse | S_A, never assume | 09:02 |
| prince_jammys | drygrain: allegedly yes. | 09:02 |
| weidhhe | drygrain,u are workong on intel x4500 ,there is no tweak method for the integrated with a low cpu...swich back to xp is the last solution | 09:02 |
| drygrain | :o | 09:03 |
| weidhhe | :D | 09:03 |
| laclasse | S_A, if you monitor does not give to xrandr the EID data that says 1440x900, then it could be your video bios no catering for that size | 09:03 |
| drygrain | timClicks, graphics cards | 09:03 |
| drygrain | timClicks, also the atom processor | 09:03 |
| prince_jammys | drygrain: i got so frustrated with my intel card, i went back to hardy (which is fine). | 09:03 |
| laclasse | S_A, i suggest you find the real modes supported by your exact monitor | 09:03 |
| drygrain | how do i downgrade to hardy | 09:03 |
| timClicks | drygrain: how confident are you to tweak things yourself? | 09:04 |
| BrendanClements | @indus, did you copy that? | 09:04 |
| drygrain | not very, but i can take instruction | 09:04 |
| prince_jammys | drygrain: downgrading is not supported. you'd have to reinstall :( . look in the ubuntu forums for your card + jaunty, and see if there's any help. | 09:04 |
| timClicks | drygrain: it may not be ubuntu, you could try searching for other 'window managers' | 09:04 |
| timClicks | and see how you feel | 09:04 |
| timClicks | most are very snappy, even on machines with lower specs | 09:05 |
| drygrain | likee kde/gnome? | 09:05 |
| PapaGoose | BrendanClements: What does it say in /etc/boot/grub/menu.lst | 09:05 |
| drygrain | :/ | 09:05 |
| Lartza_ | Anywhere I could get mpd debs? | 09:05 |
| timClicks | drygrain: yip :) | 09:05 |
| AdvoWork | is it easy enough to upgrade a cpu on a pc running ubuntu? im worried about it not booting up | 09:05 |
| drygrain | hm | 09:05 |
| timClicks | drygrain: (you're running gnome now :) | 09:05 |
| drygrain | yeah i know that much ;) | 09:05 |
| qiyong | is casper alive? | 09:05 |
| qiyong | !casper | 09:06 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about casper | 09:06 |
| drygrain | i used redhat once on a box i built as a teenager | 09:06 |
| drygrain | and used kde | 09:06 |
| timClicks | okay | 09:06 |
| weidhhe | AdvoWork,cpu upgrade is irrelevant with os...just go ahead | 09:06 |
| drygrain | but thats the extent of my linux knowledge | 09:06 |
| drygrain | because that box soon died :D | 09:06 |
| weidhhe | :D | 09:06 |
| PapaGoose | BrendanClements: what's the output from 'cat /etc/boot/grub/menu.lst' ? | 09:07 |
| BrendanClements | you mean boot/grub? | 09:07 |
| ammonkey | AdvoWork: if u change just the cpu then no problem about your ubuntu install.. if u change mother board too it s another story u have to considerate drivers to load befaore mounting your filesystem | 09:07 |
| PapaGoose | BrendanClements: yes thats what i mean ;) | 09:07 |
| BrendanClements | I'm reading the file now... trying to get around the hashed out lines, lol | 09:07 |
| timClicks | drygrain: enlightenment is quite an attractive option | 09:07 |
| timClicks | http://xwinman.org/enlightenment.php | 09:07 |
| AdvoWork | ammonkey, at the moment, im just going to change memory, and cpu. so i should be fine? | 09:08 |
| weidhhe | fluxbox is another decent option... | 09:08 |
| PapaGoose | BrendanClements: brb 5 mins | 09:08 |
| * timClicks nods | 09:08 | |
| BrendanClements | okay | 09:08 |
| G-man | what xubuntu | 09:09 |
| G-man | alla bout | 09:09 |
| clearscreen | timClicks / weidhhe: isn't the problem with all these 'lightweight' DE's that you're gonna end up needing the heavier gnome/kde libs anyway because a lot of apps depend on them? | 09:09 |
| G-man | whats the difference | 09:09 |
| G-man | between ubuntu and xubuntu | 09:09 |
| S_A | laclasse: Got it working. | 09:09 |
| clearscreen | G-man: only the desktop environment, gnome vs xfce | 09:09 |
| prince_jammys | G-man: ubuntu has the GNOME desktop, and xubuntu has xfce. | 09:09 |
| G-man | which is better | 09:09 |
| weidhhe | clearscreen, u r right,much dependent on some libs | 09:09 |
| G-man | gnome | 09:09 |
| G-man | ? | 09:09 |
| S_A | laclasse: Added a modeline and it was up | 09:09 |
| timClicks | G-man: try them out. see what you think | 09:09 |
| Madpilot | G-man, 'better' is subjective. | 09:09 |
| prince_jammys | G-man: xfce is lighter. gnome probably has more features, but is more bloated. | 09:10 |
| G-man | so xubuntu | 09:10 |
| Madpilot | G-man, xfce is less resource intensive, if you're running an older machine | 09:10 |
| weidhhe | but gnome is more elegant... | 09:10 |
| G-man | this computer came out in 2007 | 09:10 |
| clearscreen | xubuntu if you're still using a pentium 2 *** | 09:10 |
| Madpilot | G-man, a 2007 machine will run gnome just fine. my machine is older than that. | 09:11 |
| clearscreen | a 2002 machine will run gnome just fine :P | 09:11 |
| Trijntje | If I install ubuntu with alternate install, how do I prevent it overwriting my vista partition? | 09:11 |
| G-man | all of them lighter than xp | 09:11 |
| f00f | any1 have a server migration guide ? | 09:11 |
| G-man | i assum | 09:11 |
| G-man | :) | 09:11 |
| Bluey | I have a circa 2001 machine that runs gnome just fine.. | 09:11 |
| Bluey | trin - manually partition | 09:11 |
| Madpilot | G-man, yes. (and please don't use Enter as punctuation!) | 09:11 |
| BrendanClements | @PaPa: http:/ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1261667 | 09:12 |
| prince_jammys | Trijntje: there'll be a part of the installer which gives you the option to partition as you wish. | 09:12 |
| weidhhe | build ur own gnome ,erase those u wont use for ever.. | 09:12 |
| indus | BrendanClements: 10 min sorry iam busy now | 09:12 |
| BrendanClements | @papa my last post quotes the output of that file | 09:12 |
| Trijntje | prince_jammys: but won't it put grub on the partition with the boot flag? Cause thats where my vista is | 09:12 |
| rik1 | ciao | 09:13 |
| weidhhe | g-man,u seems wrong.xp is much better in any way except of $$$$ | 09:13 |
| BrendanClements | i think that's what it did because even with the flash drive out it gives me the grub error | 09:13 |
| clearscreen | Trijntje: grub usually auto detects windows installs and adds them to the boot list | 09:13 |
| BrendanClements | any idea where the boot list files are? | 09:13 |
| prince_jammys | Trijntje: you can instruct the installer to leave that partition alone. | 09:13 |
| piteer | hi | 09:14 |
| weidhhe | boot list file?its menu.lst for grub loader | 09:14 |
| BrendanClements | lol, woulda if i knew how. its a little late now anyway - we're in the recovery phase now | 09:14 |
| rik1 | :-[ | 09:14 |
| clearscreen | BrendanClements: /boot/grub/menu.lst | 09:14 |
| BrendanClements | that's the ubuntu load file, but you said it installed on the other directory | 09:15 |
| BrendanClements | there is no "boot" file in the main hard drive | 09:15 |
| BrendanClements | folder* | 09:15 |
| weidhhe | BrendanClement, u r lovely ya | 09:15 |
| weidhhe | haha | 09:15 |
| BrendanClements | no, i am screwed if i don't get this fixed within a few hours | 09:16 |
| Trijntje | prince_jammys: I see, but I thought that grub needed to be on the first partition or something like that. But if I just select the correct part of the disk grub will magically figure things out itself? | 09:16 |
| weidhhe | see:en.wikipedia.org/wiki/boot_loader | 09:16 |
| RobotCow | what happened to wicd? its not in the repos anymore. how can i get it? | 09:17 |
| PapaGoose | @BrendanClements ok so it looks like the problem is that the uuid's are incorrect, so the first thing to try is commenting out all of the sections relating to ubuntu, that is all of the lines after 'End Default Options' up to 'END DEBIAN....' | 09:17 |
| weidhhe | grub can be installed in any partation of mbr! | 09:17 |
| G-man | when burning ubuntu to cd, do i make data cd / dvd or dvd video? | 09:17 |
| weidhhe | or ,not of | 09:17 |
| prince_jammys | Trijntje: i'm inclined to say the installer will "work it out" (i've done it myself a few times), but consult with others to verify. | 09:17 |
| G-man | i have dvd discs | 09:17 |
| PapaGoose | @BrendanClements no idea if that'll work :P but fingers crossed | 09:17 |
| BrendanClements | okay | 09:18 |
| BrendanClements | and i should start with the flash drive in? | 09:18 |
| BrendanClements | keep in mind, i still get the error with the flash drive out | 09:18 |
| Trijntje | prince_jammys: well, as long as it leaves my vista alone, ill keep a copy of my current menu.lst to manualy add vista if needed | 09:18 |
| PapaGoose | @BrendanClements the alternative is that grub is going wrong earlier in the boot process, in which case menu.lst won't even be used | 09:18 |
| PapaGoose | @BrendanClements hmm actually maybe it would be better to try reinstalling grub like someone suggested before | 09:19 |
| weidhhe | g-man,u need more disk knoweldge,,,data disk and boot disk..audio disk,video disk... | 09:19 |
| BrendanClements | it won't let me save because i do not have the permissions, lol | 09:19 |
| BrendanClements | what is the terminal command to reinstall? | 09:19 |
| |-Gobi-| | does anyone know what is wrong when I ctrl-alt-f2 I just get blank screen not TTY | 09:19 |
| G-man | i want to make boot disc | 09:19 |
| G-man | of ubuntu | 09:19 |
| weidhhe | root (hdx,y)---> setup... | 09:19 |
| G-man | i have those options in my burning software | 09:20 |
| chriscohen | hello - i'm running ubuntu 8.04 and i'm having trouble with a cron job that is not running, located in cron.weekly... could someone let me know what i should check in order to make sure it's going to run, please? | 09:20 |
| prince_jammys | Trijntje: if it's like the minimal installer (which i think it is), at one point you'll reach the Partitioner stage. Select 'manual' and ensure that the windows partition isn't touched at all. | 09:20 |
| PapaGoose | @BrendanClements actually maybe the bigger problem is that you can't do find /boot/grub/stage1, so grub mightn't even be on the correct drive | 09:20 |
| Dulak | Get the permissions, then you get the power, then you get the women | 09:20 |
| PapaGoose | is your USB stick bootable? | 09:21 |
| Trijntje | prince_jammys: ill do that, thanks for your help | 09:21 |
| BrendanClements | Well it gives me the error EVEN when the flash drive is out. Keep in mind that the flash drive is what ubuntu was installed onto. | 09:21 |
| PapaGoose | http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-24113.html | 09:21 |
| weidhhe | g_man, u wanna burn disk to install ubuntu?its unnecessary | 09:21 |
| prince_jammys | Trijntje: welcome. do that stage slowly :) | 09:21 |
| G-man | well i wanted to reformat while i was at it | 09:21 |
| G-man | as well | 09:21 |
| G-man | i can do that without cd | 09:21 |
| G-man | ? | 09:21 |
| weidhhe | not difficult except one partation... | 09:22 |
| BrendanClements | @PaPa: at this point i don't even care about ubuntu not working with the flash drive. all i want to do is make it so i can use windows xp again by removing whatever ubuntu installed onto my hard drive | 09:22 |
| PapaGoose | @BrendanClements ghostintheshell seems to have a working solution | 09:22 |
| weidhhe | where u locate ur iso file | 09:22 |
| G-man | i wanted to redo partitoins | 09:23 |
| G-man | as well | 09:23 |
| PapaGoose | @BrendanClements yes I understand, i had *exactly* the same problem as you, and I got my windows back by using the XP install disk in recovery mode. but since you don't have it, we need to fix grub instead | 09:23 |
| G-man | cuz i have three right now for windows xp, one for windows xp, one for programs, and one for downloads | 09:23 |
| bobthemil | G-man: Well, it's difficult to reformat without the use of a live-cd-esque environment. | 09:23 |
| PapaGoose | @BrendanClements because without the XP install cd, you can't restore the original NT bootloader that comes with windows | 09:23 |
| BrendanClements | okay, i see the post | 09:23 |
| G-man | so use my g-parted cd | 09:24 |
| weidhhe | u can only change other partations there is no install files on | 09:24 |
| G-man | first? | 09:24 |
| BrendanClements | @weidhhe the iso was burned onto a dis | 09:24 |
| bobthemil | I'd personally suggest using gparted | 09:24 |
| PapaGoose | so first step would be to mount your ubuntu partition as suggested | 09:24 |
| bobthemil | G-man: Well, the ubuntu install CD is equally fine for the job unless you plan on doing advanced partition management. | 09:24 |
| G-man | yeah i was going to paartition | 09:24 |
| G-man | i just find thinks are more neat like that | 09:24 |
| weidhhe | g-man, burn disk la,that 's easist.. | 09:24 |
| bobthemil | The ubuntu live CD is fine to do basic partition management. | 09:24 |
| PapaGoose | someone else says if you have windows, make sure you install to the device (/dev/hda for example) rather than a partition (/dev/hda1) or else windows will be irreparably damaged | 09:25 |
| bobthemil | Actually, it's more than fine. | 09:25 |
| PapaGoose | so keep an eye out for that | 09:25 |
| BrendanClements | @papa i do not have ab applications>system tools folder. how do i get root access with the default terminal? | 09:25 |
| G-man | thats what i was asking for a program | 09:25 |
| bobthemil | If you boot into the live environment on it, then run the gnome-equivalent of "kdesudo gparted" and you'll have a very similar environment to the gparted live distro. | 09:25 |
| G-man | name so i can dl a image burner | 09:25 |
| G-man | to make my ubuntu cd, then iw as going to run g parted, | 09:25 |
| weidhhe | learn to install os from hard disk is necessary... | 09:25 |
| prince_jammys | G-man: a windows cd image burner? | 09:26 |
| G-man | aye | 09:26 |
| PapaGoose | @BrendanClements you just stick 'sudo' in front of any command to run it with root privileges | 09:26 |
| BrendanClements | thank you. trying now | 09:26 |
| prince_jammys | G-man: you probably have one already. back in the day, i used to use 'deepburner', which was freeware. | 09:26 |
| iridian_ | what repository should I use as "unstable", I'm on 9.04? I would like to retrieve the latest sqlite3, and I know how to pin the other packages | 09:26 |
| PapaGoose | actually wait a sec... | 09:27 |
| iridian_ | (and I would like to automate process, so one-off dpkg-buildpackage is disliked option) | 09:27 |
| PapaGoose | you're going to run into problems | 09:27 |
| silverfast | G-man ://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto | 09:27 |
| PapaGoose | because grub will want to be installed onto an ubuntu installation | 09:27 |
| bobthemil | PapaGoose, BrendanClements: You should only use sudo for command line programs. When running GUI programs, you should use kdesudo or gnome-sudo depending on your window manager. | 09:27 |
| BrendanClements | yes i am | 09:27 |
| G-man | thanks | 09:27 |
| silverfast | G-man :https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto | 09:28 |
| PapaGoose | @bobthemil: mkdir /mnt/* is command line ;) | 09:28 |
| BrendanClements | which is on the flash drive. the problem is not in the flash drive it is on the hard drive :( | 09:28 |
| prince_jammys | iridian_: perhaps it's available from a ppa. | 09:28 |
| PapaGoose | thats right...hmmm.... | 09:28 |
| bobthemil | PapaGoose: I was clarifying for future reference. | 09:28 |
| PapaGoose | @BrendanClements: is there no way at all to get the XP install cd? | 09:28 |
| BrendanClements | well, maybe there IS a problem there but i really don't care if that one gets fixed. just whatever it screwed up in the windows drive | 09:28 |
| PapaGoose | @BrendanClements: because if you can get it, its like a 5 minute fix | 09:29 |
| BrendanClements | negative | 09:29 |
| BrendanClements | blah this sucks | 09:29 |
| iridian_ | prince_jammys: it's not just a one-off thing, as the developer team developing the other module update their dependencies every now and then, I would like to get it from a 'stable' unstable source | 09:29 |
| ninel | hi after upgrading to 9.04 I cant activate my HP520's wifi but I upgraded it befor too from 8.04 to 8.11 | 09:29 |
| silverfast | G-man : you can also partition with http://gparted.sourceforge.net/ live CD | 09:29 |
| iridian_ | so that I could just apt-get install -t unstable sqlite3 when I need to update to the latest | 09:29 |
| prince_jammys | iridian_: ok, it seemed like a bad idea :) | 09:29 |
| prince_jammys | the ppa, that is. | 09:30 |
| weidhhe | ninel,what is ur wireless chip? | 09:30 |
| ninel | its HP520 laptop | 09:30 |
| iridian_ | (is there another channel I might be wanting to ask this question?) | 09:30 |
| G-man | there we go.. its burning now | 09:31 |
| G-man | im gonna go ahead and redo gparted as well | 09:31 |
| weidhhe | i know ,intel /athoes/bcm? | 09:31 |
| G-man | cuz for whatever reason i coudlnt get my old cd to run | 09:31 |
| G-man | i think it was scratched | 09:31 |
| ninel | probably intel | 09:31 |
| weidhhe | lspci |grep wireless | 09:31 |
| ninel | it works from live CD @weidhhe | 09:31 |
| BrendanClements | man this would be so simple if i just knew what file grub edited on the main hard drive | 09:32 |
| BrendanClements | grrrrrr | 09:32 |
| remoteCTR1 | ok guys i got a tricky one here: i deleted a partition in a multi boot environment from within windows xp, now when grub loads i get an error 15 stating file not found... i have started a live cd now and would like to restore grub, how do i do that? | 09:32 |
| PapaGoose | @BrendanClements: it didn't edit a file per se, it changed your bootloader (outside the partition) so as i understand, there's no file on the drive to change | 09:33 |
| weidhhe | ninel,ur system seems messed up now... | 09:33 |
| PapaGoose | @BrendanClements: you change it back with the XP installer :P | 09:33 |
| BrendanClements | there must be a way to access it outside of the kernel level :( | 09:33 |
| PapaGoose | @remoteCTR1 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=24113 | 09:33 |
| remoteCTR1 | BrendanClements, same problem as me or whaut? :D | 09:33 |
| BrendanClements | error 21 with grub | 09:34 |
| ninel | weidhhe yep but I wanted to recover this | 09:34 |
| PapaGoose | @remoteCTR1: that might help, or else try looking at /boot/grub/menu.lst and see if removing invalid entries helps (I assume you didn't delete the partition grub was on) | 09:34 |
| G-man | ah no wonder gparted wont work right | 09:35 |
| ninel | I have switched many kernels | 09:35 |
| G-man | on the site for gpated i get this warning | 09:35 |
| SpartanDK | hey guys,i have a problem,help me | 09:35 |
| ninel | even tried 2.6.30 but no use | 09:35 |
| G-man | ,///WARNING/// Due to a hardware/firmware bug, it's _NOT_ recommended to run GParted live on some types of HP Pavilion machines. Otherwise your VGA card fan might be dead. For more info, please refer to this bug report. | 09:35 |
| G-man | but thats strange because i've ran it before without problems | 09:35 |
| weidhhe | to recover ur wireless card,its difficult...specify the wireless chip ,check relevant module...check driver... | 09:36 |
| remoteCTR1 | PapaGoose, ermm... that link leads me to a a site where i can choose from genereal help, installation & upgrades, securitty discussions, etc... ? and nope i had grub in the masterbootrecord actually... | 09:36 |
| Trijntje | !ask| SpartanDK | 09:36 |

| silverfast | BrendanClements : read http://members.iinet.net.au/~herman546/p15.html#21 | 09:36 |
| ninel | could you specify which commandlines I could use to get the wifi chip/driver etc? | 09:36 |
| PapaGoose | @remoteCTR1: wierd, it works for me. Maybe its cause I'm logged in. Try here instead http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-24113.html | 09:37 |

| ninel | got a table of data with grep iw | 09:44 |
| weidhhe | i know... | 09:44 |
| Trijntje | SpartanDK: Hmm, then my guess would be that if you had no important data on your ubuntu system, you can safely ignore the backup | 09:45 |
| SpartanDK | okay guy,thank you | 09:45 |
| weidhhe | ninel,reinstall the driver of intel 3945! | 09:45 |

| BrendanClements | it started up with the recovery screen and then gave me the BSOD | 09:55 |
| BrendanClements | totally faked me out | 09:56 |
| BrendanClements | fuck | 09:56 |
| trupheenix | is mysql 5.1 available on Ubuntu 9.04? | 09:56 |
| PapaGoose | @BrendanClements what was the BSOD error? | 09:57 |
| iridian_ | prince_jammys: ended up using a random ppa after all. Seems like easier than the alternatives after all... | 09:58 |
| BrendanClements | let me check | 09:58 |
| grouse | trupheenix, there should be a list of packages somewhere on the Ubuntu site, but I don't seem to be able to find it atm | 09:58 |
| antonius602 | sudo replace my wife with an appreciative african refugee | 09:58 |
| shivek | what's the command for removing prvious versions of the kernel. | 09:59 |
| antonius602 | dammit...that was supposed to be in my termial | 09:59 |
| BrendanClements | it pretends to load the vaio system recovery utility... then once it's totally loaded it says: | 09:59 |
| BrendanClements | "the session manager initialization system process terminated unexpectedly with a status of 0xc000003a" | 09:59 |
| PapaGoose | ohhh.... | 10:00 |
| PapaGoose | why is it loading the vaio system recovery? | 10:00 |
| BrendanClements | lol... that doesn't sound like a good ooooh | 10:00 |
| BrendanClements | not sure | 10:00 |
| PapaGoose | did you give the boot disc the wrong partition? | 10:00 |
| PapaGoose | the super grub disk looks like it tells the MBR to automatically boot a partition | 10:00 |
| PapaGoose | and its selected the wrong one instead | 10:00 |
| DK | @shivek: use synaptic and remove the previous version of kernel | 10:01 |
| shivek | DK : no command(s) ' '? | 10:01 |
| antonius602 | DK: i tried that, and the bi atch is still here!! lol | 10:01 |
| PapaGoose | @BrendanClements on this page http://www.supergrubdisk.org/w/index.php5?title=UninstallGRUB did you follow the advanced instructions and choose your windows partition yourself? | 10:01 |
| Bache | Bye guys. Have a great day ahead. | 10:01 |
| indus | BrendanClements: hi | 10:01 |
| indus | so where are we now | 10:01 |
| DK | sudo apt-get remove <previous kernel> | 10:02 |
| PapaGoose | wait, how far into booting windows did you get? past the loading screen with the bar? | 10:02 |
| DK | offcourse you have to know what package is the previous kernel | 10:02 |
| indus | so have we booted into ubuntu yet\ | 10:02 |
| BrendanClements | no papa | 10:02 |
| shivek | DK : Thank you! ^^D | 10:03 |
| BrendanClements | didn't even see the windows logo. went straight to recovery | 10:03 |
| indus | !who | 10:03 |
| ubottu | As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 10:03 |
| PapaGoose | @BrendanClements ok well if it didn't show the windows logo, that's a *good* sign | 10:03 |
| PapaGoose | you probably just need to use supergrubdisk again and select a different partition instead | 10:03 |
| BrendanClements | hmmmm, it only shows one | 10:03 |
| BrendanClements | and it is not the one with windows | 10:03 |
| BrendanClements | wait | 10:04 |
| BrendanClements | this may be it | 10:04 |
| === mb is now known as Guest36217 | ||

| groobu | hey guys, Is anyone aware of an app that is capable of syncing music to iphones? | 10:05 |
| BrendanClements | there, im booted | 10:05 |
| PapaGoose | awesome :) | 10:05 |
| BrendanClements | now let's see if it stays this way when i shut down and start up without the disk | 10:05 |
| antonius602 | the only thing keeping me awake is brendans whack situation lol | 10:05 |
| BrendanClements | hahahahaha, thanks | 10:05 |
| RobotCow | groobu, have you checked songbird? | 10:05 |
| groobu | have not, ill have a look now | 10:05 |
| BrendanClements | you and me both, it's 5 am here... i'm usually sleeping a little past midnight | 10:06 |
| PapaGoose | the moral of the story is that you never, ever, *ever* want to see grub error 21 | 10:06 |
| groobu | ty 4 the suggestion | 10:06 |
| RobotCow | np | 10:06 |
| BrendanClements | friggen right you don't | 10:06 |
| PapaGoose | 7pm here in sydney | 10:06 |

| DK | 4 pm vietnam | 10:06 |
| BrendanClements | uh oh | 10:07 |
| BrendanClements | its trying for the system recovery again | 10:07 |
| PapaGoose | ok | 10:07 |
| clearscreen | i'm 12 and what is this? (but honestly, lets move this to #ubuntu-offtopic :P) | 10:07 |
| BrendanClements | bsod | 10:07 |
| antonius602 | bsod lol | 10:07 |
| PapaGoose | when you used supergrubdisk, did you actually install the bootloader the second time? or just boot the partition directly? | 10:07 |
| BrendanClements | i have no clue, hahahaha | 10:07 |
| Dulak | Let's not but pretend we did | 10:07 |
| indus | PapaGoose: repairing grub error 21 is not that difficult | 10:07 |
| sebrock | I have an issue where I can login using SSH but not GDM login screen? | 10:08 |
| antonius602 | gdm is broken sebrock | 10:08 |
| PapaGoose | @indus what was your procedure for fixing it? | 10:08 |
| RobotCow | sebner, gdm remote login doesnt use ssh protocol | 10:08 |
| DK | sebrock: do you have command promt? | 10:08 |
| sebrock | antonius602, authlog: pam_unix(gdm:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=:0 ruser= rhost= | 10:08 |
| indus | PapaGoose: repair grub ") with live cd | 10:08 |
| sebrock | DK, yes | 10:08 |
| antonius602 | huh | 10:08 |
| BrendanClements | lol | 10:09 |
| antonius602 | sebrock...that's special....not normal | 10:09 |
| DK | sebrock: try startx | 10:09 |
| sebrock | DK, and this is loggin in as UID = 1001. X does not work as my user is not allowed | 10:09 |
| indus | so PapaGoose is BrendanClements problem solved? | 10:09 |
| DK | sebrock: is it root? | 10:09 |
| BrendanClements | this little doo-dad works but not permenently... there are so many options it's hard to navigate | 10:09 |
| RobotCow | sebner, create a file in your home directory called .xinitrc and put in it one line: exec gnome-session | 10:10 |
| RobotCow | before startx | 10:10 |
| antonius602 | serously | 10:10 |
| sebrock | DK, antonius602 I have tried dpkg-reconfigure X and GDM to no avail. DK , no its as my regular user with UID 1001 | 10:10 |
| PapaGoose | @indus almost but not quite. he's using supergrubdisk to overwrite the MBR, but it seems to be automatically booting the wrong partition | 10:10 |
| BrendanClements | indus i can get it to boot into windows using this utility boot cd, but so far i cannot get the permenent fix. | 10:10 |
| antonius602 | sebrock: it sounds whacked... | 10:10 |
| PapaGoose | @BrendanClements on this page http://www.supergrubdisk.org/w/index.php5?title=UninstallGRUB | 10:10 |
| BrendanClements | so i need to manually select the right one, which i can do but i need it to stay fixed | 10:10 |
| DK | sebrock: what is the message when you type startx? | 10:10 |
| antonius602 | don't know what u can do w/ that | 10:10 |
| sebrock | antonius602, sharp thinking Sherlock :P | 10:11 |
| PapaGoose | after you get to 'Fix Boot of Windows' you're saying it only gives you one option? | 10:11 |
| antonius602 | hey 3 hours on n00buntu irc...what do u expect? | 10:11 |
| BrendanClements | let me look this over again papa | 10:11 |
| indus | PapaGoose: what do u mean wrong partition | 10:11 |
| antonius602 | sebrock: what card? | 10:12 |
| sebrock | DK, something is wrong with PAM auth I think | 10:12 |
| PapaGoose | @indus supergrubdisk is putting in an MBR that automatically boots one of the partitions on the drive. but its booting the sony service partition instead of the windows partition, so it looks like he selected the wrong partition when installing the new bootloader | 10:12 |
| antonius602 | sebrock: what's the error X is giving? | 10:12 |
| DK | sebrock: try sudo startx | 10:13 |
| indus | PapaGoose: yeah | 10:13 |
| BrendanClements | i selected the automatic option | 10:13 |
| PapaGoose | @brendanclements there you go | 10:13 |
| antonius602 | besides what u pasted...the log? | 10:13 |
| PapaGoose | don't use automatic, you need to pick the correct one | 10:13 |
| indus | PapaGoose: what about booting ubuntu? | 10:13 |
| poyntz | !iCalendar | 10:13 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about iCalendar | 10:13 |
| poyntz | !screenlets | 10:13 |
| ubottu | Screenlets are little widgets for your !desktop. Note you must have a compositing window manager such as !Compiz Fusion, xcompmgr, or KWin to run them. You can get them at http://www.screenlets.org/ | 10:13 |
| poyntz | gah | 10:13 |
| PapaGoose | @indus ubuntu was never installed on the hard drive | 10:13 |
| poyntz | !desktop | 10:13 |
| ubottu | A desktop environment is what "puts the pieces of a !GUI together". The available desktop environments in Ubuntu are !GNOME (ubuntu-desktop), !KDE (kubuntu-desktop), !Xfce (xubuntu-desktop), IceWM, !Fluxbox, WindowMaker (wmaker), FVWM and others - See also !Flavors | 10:13 |
| BrendanClements | screw ubuntu | 10:13 |
| sebrock | DK, says server is already active | 10:13 |
| PapaGoose | ideally what should have happened is that the MBR on the flash drive should have been changed | 10:13 |
| BrendanClements | i just need this window fixed because it got smashed | 10:13 |
| antonius602 | Brendan, i agree | 10:13 |
| antonius602 | lol | 10:13 |
| poyntz | BrendanClements: what's up? | 10:14 |
| PapaGoose | but instead, the MBR on the hard drive was overwritten with grub, but the ubuntu installation and everything else was on the flash drive | 10:14 |
| BrendanClements | activate partition of windows, maybe this is it | 10:14 |
| Mqueue | i need some help with gparted i lost my data while partioning drives can some help me please :) | 10:14 |
| indus | PapaGoose: why is it installing to mbr of flash drive? i prefer internal drive or external usb hdd | 10:14 |
| BrendanClements | read papagoose, poynt, he's explaining it to indus | 10:14 |
| antonius602 | ubuntu does things in it's own particular way...it much harder to diagnose and fix than most distros | 10:14 |
| DK | sebrock: reboot and see what is the error message | 10:14 |
| PapaGoose | @indus because he never wanted ubuntu to be on the local machine, it was supposed to be self-contained on the flash disk | 10:15 |
| poyntz | BrendanClements: ahhh k. partition stuff. i don't play around with partitions unless I have to... | 10:15 |
| BrendanClements | here we go guys | 10:15 |
| sebrock | DK, done that several time. I get the GDM login screen but my credentials does not work Not for my user nor root | 10:15 |
| poyntz | !iCal | 10:15 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about iCal | 10:15 |
| antonius602 | advice: learn linux, then do ubuntu | 10:15 |
| indus | PapaGoose: thats fine iam talking about the grub install | 10:15 |
| poyntz | !info iCal | 10:15 |
| ubottu | Package iCal does not exist in jaunty | 10:15 |
| antonius602 | cuz the other way around...will cause you fits | 10:15 |
| indus | nvm | 10:15 |
| poyntz | ok... well ubottu is wrong... I just installed iCal... | 10:15 |
| BrendanClements | i have hda1, 2 and 5. 1 is type unknown with 5 gb, 2 is the windows drive and 5 is a partition to seperate memory | 10:15 |
| poyntz | the only thing is, iCal wasn't what i wanted | 10:16 |
| antonius602 | <-------waiting to be banned after that comment | 10:16 |
| poyntz | !info ClearCalendar | 10:16 |
| ubottu | Package ClearCalendar does not exist in jaunty | 10:16 |
| DK | sebrock: what is the message exactly when you said "my credentials does not work" | 10:16 |
| Madpilot | antonius602, keep trolling, you'll earn enough rope eventually. | 10:16 |
| PapaGoose | @indus i thought it would be best not to install grub onto a drive without any existing linux partitions? so we instead needed to overwrite the MBR. ordinarily this wouldn't be a problem because the drive with the grub MBR would also have had the ubuntu partition | 10:16 |

| antonius602 | Mqueue: nearly impossible | 10:20 |
| BrendanClements | you know what's stupid too? i READ that i should disconnect it but i figured i was smart enough not to install it on the hd | 10:20 |
| antonius602 | if u decided to WRITE CHANGES | 10:20 |
| antonius602 | brendan..your smart enough... | 10:20 |
| PapaGoose | so out of interest | 10:20 |
| Mqueue | i see it has a triangle thing in gparted | 10:20 |
| PapaGoose | why *did* you need it fixed within those few hours? | 10:20 |
| antonius602 | don't count on other people , in the future.. | 10:20 |
| BrendanClements | now i gotta post in the forums with how i fixed it so anyone who actually searches can find | 10:20 |
| BrendanClements | because my fiance dumped me and im with my parents for a little bit till i can get a new place | 10:21 |
| BrendanClements | it's my step dad's computer | 10:21 |

| antonius602 | so before u tell all ur friends | 10:22 |
| antonius602 | look around, and LEARN, brother | 10:22 |
| Mqueue | antonius602> so u think nothing cna be done ? | 10:22 |
| BrendanClements | last time was different... i screwed up windows and ended up using ubuntu to save data. this time i messed them both up | 10:22 |
| antonius602 | Mqueue: | 10:22 |
| antonius602 | ask again | 10:22 |
| antonius602 | sorry | 10:22 |
| Mqueue | about recovering my partioned drive ? | 10:23 |
| PapaGoose | when my error 21 happened, i had damaged the partition map | 10:23 |
| antonius602 | oh | 10:23 |
| PapaGoose | so i was rather panicked about whether i'd actually damaged my windows files too :P | 10:23 |
| antonius602 | what is the problem? | 10:23 |
| antonius602 | explain more | 10:23 |
| indus | !language | BrendanClements | 10:23 |
| ubottu | BrendanClements: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 10:23 |
| Mqueue | i partioned my data drive and wrote boot record of ubuntu on it just boot | 10:23 |
| DK | sebrock: what is the output of "cat /etc/pam.d/gdm" | 10:23 |
| antonius602 | lol nazi ubuntu robot | 10:23 |
| BrendanClements | lol, sorry indus | 10:23 |
| indus | k np | 10:23 |
| antonius602 | should be still intact | 10:24 |
| PapaGoose | Mqueue, what was the type of partition? NTFS? | 10:24 |
| Mqueue | it's saying failed to startup volume: invalid arguments | 10:24 |
| Mqueue | yes NTFS dynamic drive | 10:24 |
| antonius602 | papa's question.ntfs? ext? | 10:24 |
| antonius602 | ok | 10:24 |
| antonius602 | boot live cd | 10:24 |
| antonius602 | see if it's able to mount it | 10:24 |
| Mqueue | yes i'm | 10:24 |
| PapaGoose | then you're in luck | 10:24 |
| monty | hi to all | 10:24 |
| Mqueue | k let me try | 10:24 |
| PapaGoose | NTFS is way easier to recover than ext3 i think | 10:24 |
| Mqueue | ok i'm in..it has grub and lost+found stuff | 10:25 |
| antonius602 | same s h it ..no journalling w/ ntfs... | 10:25 |
| antonius602 | so it is a BIT easier | 10:25 |
| antonius602 | not ur data? | 10:25 |
| ghatu | package to download you tube videos | 10:25 |
| Mqueue | man i would do anyting for this help | 10:25 |
| Mqueue | lol | 10:25 |
| antonius602 | ^ | 10:25 |
| Mqueue | no data | 10:25 |
| indus | ghatu: try firefox addon video download helper | 10:26 |
| antonius602 | available hard disk space? | 10:26 |
| ghatu | ok | 10:26 |
| indus | ghatu: addons.mozilla.org | 10:26 |
| antonius602 | does it look like ur stuf is gone? | 10:26 |
| PapaGoose | @BrendanClements having the XP disk would have been useful though | 10:26 |
| Mqueue | the HD is says 197MB and the HD is acutally 320 | 10:26 |
| antonius602 | weird.... | 10:26 |
| Mqueue | it's not showing in the mounting | 10:26 |
| antonius602 | explain what u did | 10:27 |
| PapaGoose | @Mqueue don't leave out any steps! | 10:27 |
| Mqueue | okay i was tryign to reinstall ubuntu and i was trying to do the correct partioning so i don't get grub errors | 10:27 |
| antonius602 | ok..... | 10:27 |
| Mqueue | and i went to advance install and select that volume | 10:27 |
| Mqueue | just to write the boot data | 10:28 |
| indus | Mqueue: you mean you selected manual install? | 10:28 |
| Mqueue | yes | 10:28 |
| sebrock | antonius602, many things are "wierd" today :) | 10:28 |
| antonius602 | let him speak!! he's not done | 10:28 |
| indus | Mqueue: and in final step you went to advanced install for grub | 10:28 |
| Mqueue | and then it was saying hd0,0 and then i selected this volume of this drive thinking it was the correct one but it was not | 10:28 |
| Mqueue | yes in the advance install | 10:29 |
| antonius602 | so how did u set up the partitioner? | 10:29 |
| antonius602 | did u overwrite anything? | 10:29 |
| Mqueue | when i heard the harddive i was like mother | 10:29 |
| antonius602 | heard? it was making noises? lol | 10:30 |
| Mqueue | okay i had boot sector selected for the drive which i wanted when i was doing manual install | 10:30 |
| Mqueue | then i had root selected for another partion | 10:30 |
| antonius602 | ok | 10:30 |
| Mqueue | then i had swap selected fro antoher partion | 10:30 |
| antonius602 | ok good so far | 10:30 |
| Mqueue | and then after i went to advance | 10:30 |
| Mqueue | and thats where i messed up by selecting this volume for boot loader | 10:31 |
| Mqueue | i think i typed /dev/sda1 instead of /dev/sdd1 | 10:31 |
| indus | Mqueue: so what exactly is your problem? you cant boot or see grub? | 10:31 |
| antonius602 | i'm having a bit of trouble following | 10:31 |
| antonius602 | but | 10:31 |
| antonius602 | it seems that ur data is stilll intact | 10:31 |
| indus | Mqueue: whats /dev/sdd | 10:31 |
| antonius602 | mkdir | 10:31 |
| antonius602 | /mnt/sdd | 10:32 |
| Mqueue | ok the partions were done properly right but the boot loader was loaded on the data drive | 10:32 |
| indus | Mqueue: thats easy to fix | 10:32 |
| antonius602 | mount /dev/sdd /mnt /sddd | 10:32 |
| antonius602 | ? | 10:32 |
| Mqueue | one sec | 10:32 |
| antonius602 | minus one "d" | 10:32 |
| indus | antonius602: what instructions are those? | 10:32 |
| antonius602 | mounting the hd | 10:32 |
| indus | antonius602: he just needs to repair grub | 10:32 |
| antonius602 | grub-install sda | 10:33 |
| antonius602 | genius | 10:33 |
| indus | Mqueue: u cant boot into ubuntu correct? | 10:33 |
| antonius602 | ^indus | 10:33 |
| Mqueue | nope | 10:33 |
| sebrock | antonius602, seriously don't give random advice. | 10:33 |
| antonius602 | ok reinstall grub then | 10:33 |
| Mqueue | can't load it one sec let me mkdir | 10:33 |
| indus | Mqueue: could you please repeat the problem you have, i might have missed something | 10:34 |
| BrendanClements | thanks again for the help guys. i gave you props in my forum post. i gotta go now, cya later | 10:34 |
| antonius602 | sebrock: don't give me random gayness | 10:34 |
| Mqueue | okay i'm able to mount it | 10:34 |
| antonius602 | and ur data is ther? | 10:34 |
| Mqueue | okay my data was on sd1 | 10:35 |
| sipior | antonius602: try not to be obnoxious, if you can manage it. | 10:35 |
| antonius602 | phweew | 10:35 |
| antonius602 | nice | 10:35 |
| Mqueue | that data i am unable to see when i mount | 10:35 |
| sebrock | antonius602, I'm not being nasty just saying your obvious lack of experience produces a lot of guesses. | 10:35 |
| Mqueue | i just see the boot loader files | 10:35 |
| antonius602 | well, Mqueue, the good news is ..ur data is still in tact :) | 10:36 |
| Mqueue | i'm in gparted to see what is going on | 10:37 |
| Mqueue | and i see /dev/sdb1 298.09 gib | 10:37 |
| DK | Mqueue: do you use live cd or boot from harddisk? | 10:37 |
| antonius602 | that's ur NTFS? | 10:37 |
| Mqueue | partion /dev/sdb1 triangle | 10:37 |
| Mqueue | live cd | 10:38 |
| Mqueue | yes | 10:38 |
| Mqueue | my data drive | 10:38 |
| Madpilot | antonius602, "don't give me random gayness" is not cool. stow the attitude. | 10:38 |
| DK | Mqueue: do not use gparted | 10:38 |
| Mqueue | okay i'm out | 10:38 |
| antonius602 | DK is right.....ur all good | 10:38 |

| Mqueue | foof | 10:39 |
| Mqueue | install ?? | 10:39 |
| antonius602 | ur root filesystem | 10:39 |
| adub | having firewall troubles i can use firestarter to disable firewall but i cant edit polices i want to be able to allow inbound port 80 connections | 10:39 |
| indus | what the hell are you advicing him to do antonius602? | 10:39 |
| DK | Mqueue: open terminal and run sudo fdisk -l | 10:39 |
| Mqueue | antonius> but that's NTFS data drive i wana fix | 10:40 |
| indus | brrr | 10:40 |
| DK | adub: probably it is your router problem, not firewall | 10:40 |
| Mqueue | okay i got a list of drives now | 10:40 |
| adub | na its not | 10:40 |
| adub | i can have it accessed | 10:40 |
| adub | i just select disable using firestarter to disalbe firewall on laptop | 10:41 |
| adub | and all is well | 10:41 |
| adub | but if i close firestarter local firewall enables | 10:41 |
| antonius602 | Mqueue..that helps, as i'm not so sure as to what ur trying to do...and all these fanboys keep flaming me left and right lol | 10:41 |
| adub | and i cant access port 80 inbound | 10:41 |
| Mqueue | lol | 10:41 |
| Mqueue | want me to msg u in pvt ? | 10:41 |
| adub | so i need to edit a policy but firestarter has this grayed | 10:41 |
| antonius602 | maybe PM | 10:41 |
| hdkiller | hello, i use lvs with multiple lvs servers, stock ubuntu, and my problem is one of them pushing hundreds of megabits, ipvsadm get slow, and i have 100% softirq load | 10:41 |
| DK | adub: what do you mean by firewall? Ubuntu don't come with firewall | 10:42 |
| Madpilot | DK, sure it does; iptables is there by default... | 10:42 |
| sebrock | Mqueue, I suggest you listen to the qualified answers. | 10:42 |
| adub | hell i dont know then all i know is that if i use firestarter and select option to disable i can then access port 80 | 10:42 |
| indus | !ufw | DK | 10:42 |
| ubottu | DK: 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 | 10:42 |
| Mqueue | i'm ready to pull my hair | 10:42 |
| Mqueue | lol | 10:42 |
| DK | Madpilot: iptables open all port by default | 10:43 |
| prodigel | hi all. if I'm connecting to mysql on localhost using console it works, but using phpmyadmin tells me access denied. Am I missing some settings in mysq/phpmyadmin? | 10:43 |
| adub | i can access port 22 and port 5900 and 5901 no problme but i need firestarter and do disable firewall to be able to open port 80 | 10:43 |
| Madpilot | DK, true, but that != 'no firewall' - just one with no restrictions | 10:43 |
| DK | indus: I see, then need to configure ufw | 10:43 |
| DK | Madpilot: we are talking about port 80 blocked | 10:44 |
| indus | DK: i suggest gufw the graphical front end to it, i dont advice using firestarter , i read somewher its unmaintained now and frankly dangerous | 10:44 |
| indus | i dont know why ubottu still lists firestarter | 10:44 |
| DK | indus: shoud be for adub, I don't use firestarted. I write my own rules | 10:45 |
| indus | DK: and i live by mine :D | 10:45 |
| almostAg33k | i accidentally deleted my bottom toolbar how can i get it back | 10:46 |
| DK | indus: my own iptables I mean :) | 10:46 |
| indus | DK: ya i know what you meant | 10:46 |
| dennis | what sup dudes | 10:46 |
| adub | dk i see wher ei can create an inbound policy | 10:46 |
| DK | almostAg33k: right click on top tollbar and choose add | 10:47 |
| adub | i want to allow all inbound connections to ports 80 and 5900 | 10:47 |
| indus | Mqueue: so is your problem solved? | 10:47 |
| indus | adub: did u try in firestarter? its damn easy | 10:47 |
| DK | adub: it is not block I guess if you do not block it. Ubuntu by default open all port | 10:47 |

| theo___ | Thanks, <kd8JHC>. I have recently installed Ubuntu and activated the compose key as recommended. It does work in the terminal and in Thunderbird, but it does not work in emacs and Opera. | 11:04 |
| Hitman32 | it put the boot file the start agin | 11:04 |
| julemore | I do have this process in memory by default: "x11vnc -display :0", I want to add a couple of params to that process. What file may I edit? | 11:05 |
| Hitman32 | but it stop | 11:05 |
| DK | Hitman32: I don't think winXP have that step | 11:05 |
| G-man | hey | 11:05 |
| G-man | got it | 11:05 |
| DK | when restart, you should ignore the cd | 11:05 |
| G-man | i just installed from cd | 11:05 |
| Hitman32 | you don't know what i mean,, caz i have bad language | 11:05 |
| G-man | and did full hard drive install | 11:05 |
| kd8JHC | theo: nothing's coming to mind... compose key on your keyboard? | 11:06 |
| julemore | what the init file in ubunutu? | 11:06 |
| kd8JHC | like a macro key? | 11:06 |
| Hitman32 | Dk: | 11:06 |
| Hitman32 | let's take the steps Ok | 11:06 |
| sandeep-vinit | hi | 11:06 |
| DK | Hitman32: ok, slowly | 11:06 |
| Hitman32 | first put the CD and boot from it,, right | 11:07 |
| Mqueue | hey DK >> do u think u can help me with overwritten boot loader on NTFS drive ? trying to get data back | 11:07 |
| Hitman32 | then press F8 :P | 11:07 |
| === netsurf3_ is now known as netsurf3 | ||
| Hitman32 | select partion | 11:08 |
| Hitman32 | format it | 11:08 |
| theo___ | Yes. It allows to create non-ASCII symbols. I normally use the windows key for that purpose. In emacs I get the message "<Multi_key> not defined" when I hit the Windows key. In earlier versions of Ubuntu everything worked fine. Is this a GTK related problem? | 11:08 |
| Hitman32 | win start to copy drive file right<< with me | 11:08 |
| DK | ok | 11:09 |
| neil_d | on my amd64 computer I am having trouble getting the scanner of my Epson CX5500 to work... here is the output of "lsusb", "sane-find-scanner" and "scanimage -L" http://paste.ubuntu.com/267837/ | 11:09 |
| DK | Mqueue: for bootloader it is no problem | 11:09 |
| sebrock | noticed apt-get does not follow the hold-flag set by dpkg/aptitude when doing a dist-upgrade | 11:09 |
| Hitman32 | Ok when it fnish << what's going to | 11:09 |
| DK | but if data formatted, It is difficult | 11:09 |
| Mqueue | nope no data is formatted | 11:10 |
| Mqueue | it's intact | 11:10 |
| Mqueue | i'm sure | 11:10 |
| DK | Hitman32: just continue to install | 11:10 |
| kd8JHC | theo: perhaps, i'm not really sure | 11:10 |
| Mqueue | it was a dynamic volume drive /dev/sda1 and it shows still | 11:10 |
| Hitman32 | see this pic | 11:10 |
| Hitman32 | http://www.microsoft.com/library/media/1033/windowsxp/images/using/setup/winxp/xp-setup-5-format-progress.jpg | 11:10 |
| DK | Mqueue: then it should be able to boot | 11:10 |
| G-man | yeah i had ubuntu before, but i dont recognize this version | 11:10 |
| G-man | its weird | 11:10 |
| Mqueue | that's the problem after the proper partitioning i went to advanced and installed boot loader on the wrong drive | 11:11 |
| DK | Hitman32: ok, and then? | 11:11 |
| Hitman32 | when finish win rest | 11:11 |
| G-man | is there any way i can view my install to check if my install went correctly, because it installed very fast | 11:12 |
| Mqueue | part of the drive went to linux | 11:12 |
| DK | Mqueue: no problem, just go to bios, change your boot harddis to the "wrong" one. | 11:12 |
| Hitman32 | to start new copy or new step | 11:12 |
| sipior | G-man: what's "very fast"? | 11:12 |
| G-man | well u know | 11:12 |
| G-man | 8 mins | 11:12 |
| sipior | G-man: sounds about right, on a modern machine. | 11:12 |
| Hitman32 | like this one | 11:12 |
| Hitman32 | http://www.microsoft.com/library/media/1033/windowsxp/images/using/setup/winxp/xp-setup-16-welcome-to-micr.jpg | 11:12 |
| DK | Hitman32: probable problem with winXP installation cd | 11:12 |
| G-man | i had three partitions in windoes.... prior to it.... and i went ahead and just installed this one all the way | 11:13 |
| indus | sipior: i dont think so | 11:13 |
| indus | sipior: will take much more than taht to install it | 11:13 |
| G-man | didnt really have a chance to partiton manually but oh well | 11:13 |
| Hitman32 | So try agin? | 11:13 |
| sipior | indus: doesn't on the machines at my facility. | 11:13 |
| DK | Hitman32: look ok right? | 11:13 |
| theo___ | kd8JHC: Maybe I should rather ask in the German Ubuntu forum. I think it might be a common problem for people using an English keyboard who wish to type a German text. But thanks anyway! :) | 11:13 |
| Hitman32 | yeah | 11:13 |
| theo___ | kd8JHC: Bye! | 11:13 |
| indus | sipior: yeah u mean it takes more time? | 11:13 |
| DK | Hitman32: continue, click next | 11:13 |
| kd8JHC | theo: good luck! | 11:13 |
| Hitman32 | i install in the CD | 11:13 |
| sipior | indus: no, i don't. | 11:13 |
| G-man | now what is that thing i open up for all the updates | 11:14 |
| Hitman32 | noooooooo | 11:14 |
| Hitman32 | no | 11:14 |
| Hitman32 | nooooo | 11:14 |
| G-man | i forgot the name of it | 11:14 |
| indus | sipior: hmm so what is the time taken at your facility | 11:14 |
| Hitman32 | i can't to get the step | 11:14 |
| DK | why no? | 11:14 |
| sipior | indus: i just mentioned it. is there a point to this conversation? | 11:14 |
| Hitman32 | when it's rest it fial | 11:14 |
| Hitman32 | fail | 11:14 |
| SudoKing | hi, firefox continuously keeps segfaulting, can I get a core dump from it? (it says core dumped, but I don't know how to get one from it as i don't know where the core file is, it's the installed package) | 11:15 |
| indus | sipior: yes, do you have any average time it takes to install to a 'modern' machine>? | 11:15 |
| DK | Hitman32: looks like you installation cd got defect, get a new one | 11:15 |
| Hitman32 | this's the last step i can see it in win | 11:15 |
| Hitman32 | http://www.microsoft.com/library/media/1033/windowsxp/images/using/setup/winxp/xp-setup-5-format-progress.jpg | 11:15 |
| Hitman32 | then it rest,, | 11:15 |
| DK | Hitman32: either the installation cd, or your harddisk | 11:15 |
| indus | Hitman32: mostly the cd, | 11:16 |
| DK | Hitman32: that is hardware problem | 11:16 |
| DK | Mqueue: how is it? Is it ok now? | 11:16 |
| hackoo | how to make backup of /home in a usb drive? | 11:16 |
| G-man | is there a blue background i can get from synaptics | 11:16 |
| Hitman32 | hardwear :S | 11:16 |
| sipior | indus: if you have an opinion, please state it. but not to me, as i am not particularly interested. the man asked if his install went too quickly. without evidence to the contrary, i don't see any reason to be overly concerned on this point. | 11:16 |
| G-man | this orange is killing me | 11:16 |
| G-man | preferably a blue / black one | 11:16 |
| Hitman32 | no please don't say that | 11:16 |
| Hitman32 | I'll format agin and see what will happen | 11:17 |
| DK | Hitman32: that is my opinion, either cd or harddisk (or the interface to harddisk) has problem | 11:17 |
| SudoKing | it seems to only segfault when i play videos | 11:17 |
| Pvalley | SudoKing, pornographical videos? | 11:18 |
| SudoKing | no! | 11:18 |
| SudoKing | >_> | 11:18 |
| Pvalley | hmmm | 11:18 |
| DK | I am off now | 11:18 |
| Hitman32 | :D | 11:18 |
| SudoKing | any ordinary youtube video :p | 11:18 |
| Pvalley | SudoKing, hmm any chicks in it? | 11:18 |
| SudoKing | wtf? no lol | 11:19 |
| Pvalley | ok, I'm going to believe you this time | 11:19 |
| G-man | my dual monitor display isn't working | 11:19 |
| indus | Mqueue: yes iam here | 11:19 |
| Hitman32 | Ok thanks every body | 11:19 |
| SudoKing | i think it's related to something with flash, idk? :/ | 11:19 |
| G-man | for whatever reason my right screen isnt on | 11:19 |
| indus | G-man: so what is your hardware configuration | 11:19 |
| kd8JHC | ding ding ding | 11:19 |

| Pvalley | SudoKing, yeah. Do you have the latest plugin? | 11:19 |
| G-man | nvidia 9800gt | 11:19 |
| indus | Mqueue: did u solve your problem yet | 11:20 |
| SudoKing | i'm on karmic koala, i've dist-upgraded not too long ago, so i think so... | 11:20 |
| kd8JHC | did it work before? | 11:21 |
| Madpilot | SudoKing, #ubuntu+1 for Karmic questions, usually. It's still an early release, though... | 11:21 |
| Pvalley | SudoKing, well, maybe you should do the ole "sudo apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade" | 11:21 |
| G-man | yeah | 11:21 |
| Pvalley | first | 11:21 |
| G-man | PM me if you can help me out, do i need to just download driver for nvida under synaptics? | 11:21 |
| SudoKing | pvalley, i've ran that several times lol. last night was a linux kernel update | 11:21 |
| indus | G-man: sure | 11:21 |
| indus | G-man: did you check under system>admin>hardware drivers | 11:22 |
| G-man | tyty | 11:22 |
| Pvalley | SudoKing, hmm, are you 100% sure it isn't pr0nographical? | 11:22 |
| SudoKing | ... | 11:22 |
| G-man | says | 11:22 |
| kd8JHC | lol | 11:22 |
| G-man | no proprietary drivers are in use on this system | 11:22 |
| G-man | fresh install | 11:22 |
| indus | G-man: so u have nvidia card? | 11:22 |
| SudoKing | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXKXrditdvU | 11:22 |
| G-man | yes | 11:23 |
| Pvalley | SudoKing, look, flash is dodgy at the best of times, with Karmic you're looking at problems occuring | 11:23 |
| kd8JHC | amen | 11:23 |
| indus | G-man: do you see your card listed in that window? | 11:23 |
| SudoKing | so when it'll be stable? lol | 11:23 |
| G-man | no | 11:23 |

| kd8JHC | SudoKing: why not stick with a stable system? | 11:24 |
| kd8JHC | instead up rushing an upgrade | 11:24 |
| SudoKing | cuz I like teh cutting edge | 11:24 |
| Madpilot | SudoKing, Karmic releases sometime in mid/late October. It's sitll in alpha | 11:24 |
| kd8JHC | do you really like it? cuz it ain't workin | 11:24 |
| cfedde | for all the.. cutting. | 11:24 |
| kd8JHC | and you're here | 11:24 |
| kd8JHC | being CUT | 11:24 |
| kd8JHC | ha | 11:24 |
| SudoKing | >_> | 11:24 |
| Madpilot | SudoKing, and sometimes the cutting edge slices things off... like Flash. Especially flash. | 11:24 |

| GhostWolfy | well my question is still there why ask again?? | 11:31 |
| kd8JHC | He wants someone to direct message him, Pvalley | 11:31 |
| GhostWolfy | just look at what i posted when i came here | 11:31 |

| G-man | How do i get the right driver for the Nvidia 9800GT ? | 11:32 |
| G-man | ubuntu | 11:32 |
| Pvalley | all I saw was someone begging for samba help via PM. Since samba is ridiculously easy to set up I was confused | 11:32 |
| Madpilot | GhostWolfy, you'll get better help if, instead of copping an attitude, you just restate and clarify your questions... | 11:33 |
| GhostWolfy | G-man, if you already have that card in ya ubuntu machine you go to system, admin then to hardware devices and select it | 11:33 |
| GhostWolfy | Madpilot, i didn't have an attitude | 11:33 |
| G-man | there is nothing in the box | 11:33 |
| indus | G-man: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new | 11:33 |
| GhostWolfy | G-man then ya most likely have the right driver for it | 11:33 |

| panv | you don't have Nvidia installed by default ? G-man ? | 11:49 |
| G-man | i guess not | 11:49 |
| erUSUL | G-man: System>Administration>Hardware Drivers | 11:49 |
| G-man | i mean the other monitor is not on | 11:49 |
| G-man | it says that there are no proprietary drivers in use | 11:50 |
| panv | follow system/administration/nvidia x server settings | 11:50 |
| G-man | when i click that it tells me this | 11:50 |
| G-man | You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server. | 11:50 |

| G-man | how do i run things as root | 11:53 |
| G-man | thats what i need to know | 11:53 |
| mati | when i install Ubuntu or just leave the BIOS screen, then screen goes to sleep | 11:53 |
| Pvalley | Gothfunc, they are swap files, used if gedit crashes I suspect | 11:53 |
| panv | G-man.. run nvidia-config as root | 11:53 |
| panv | it will modify your xconfiguration file | 11:53 |
| panv | save it, and restart x | 11:53 |
| G-man | yes thats what im asking | 11:53 |
| G-man | how do i do that | 11:54 |
| Gothfunc | Pvalley: when i close gedit they remain | 11:54 |
| mati | my question is if i install Ubuntu with another graphic card and then change to my Nvidia 9600gt | 11:54 |
| mati | after the installation | 11:54 |
| Pvalley | G-man, open a terminal, type "sudo nvidia-config" | 11:54 |
| dfeeser | mati: thats what i had to do - install with motherboard card, then place 7300GT in | 11:54 |
| Gothfunc | Pvalley: normally when you turn backups and autosave off these files go away completely | 11:54 |
| Pvalley | Gothfunc, sorry, I can't really help, because I use a real editor; vim. But I'm sure it's a swap problem, google that puppy | 11:54 |
| aaron113 | Pvalley: is that posible with redaon intel | 11:54 |

| ubottu | Pvalley: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 11:56 |
| Gothfunc | Dahito: just tried that. none of my settings seemed to be in the dir anyway. i guess i'll try to find the real settings dir and rm that | 11:57 |

| zmotok | hello everyone, is there any reason why I can't boot from an external hdd that has ubuntu installed on it with the usual procedure? (ubuntu 9.04 x86) | 12:01 |
| zmotok | the bios gives an error of "no operating system found", but grub is installed on the mbr of the external drive and should.. appear | 12:02 |
| Pvalley | erUSUL, lol I'm sure he cares | 12:02 |
| indus | zmotok: this might happen when the usb is not mounted | 12:02 |
| panv | indus, sudo is always installed on ubuntu. but not always installed on debian...... are you sure all the people here are running ubuntu ?? | 12:02 |
| Gothfunc | Dahito: rmed all prefs to do with gedit from my home dir and my settings are still there when i load gedit | 12:03 |
| Gothfunc | :s | 12:03 |
| amagee | does anyone have any idea how i can figure out why i can't sftp to my server, although i can ssh to it with no problems and (i believe) i have disabled the firewall? | 12:03 |
| indus | panv: well, its a reasonable assumption, this is ubuntu support not debian | 12:03 |
| zmotok | indus: "mounted" ? nothing is mounted before the kernel starts | 12:03 |
| Dahito | Gothfunc: did you use gconf-editor? | 12:03 |
| Pvalley | everyone stop and do a "lsb_release -a"! You could be in the wrong channel! | 12:03 |
| indus | zmotok: it is after grub i believe | 12:03 |
| Gothfunc | Dahito: no :p i'll restore the files and do that | 12:04 |
| LogicFan | hrm, is there a command like lspci or lsusb for ata devices? | 12:04 |
| indus | zmotok:ill rephrase it, the usb device drivers are not loaded into the kernel | 12:04 |
| indus | zmotok: so it cant read from the device | 12:04 |
| zmotok | indus: _grub_ doesn't appear | 12:04 |
| indus | zmotok: ya is power on? | 12:04 |
| zmotok | indus: of course | 12:04 |
| indus | zmotok: there is a usb_device module which fails to load sometimes | 12:05 |
| Dahito | Gothfunc: hope it works.. :) ... gconf is like microsoft register.. | 12:05 |
| indus | zmotok: so if grub is installed to that device, how will it load | 12:05 |
| zmotok | LogicFan: fdisk -l | 12:05 |
| Dahito | Gothfunc: i prefer old school config.. | 12:05 |
| indus | zmotok: cant explain well iam no expert | 12:05 |

| Gothfunc | Dahito: no. initially i was getting the error "unexpected error: failure" (hooray!) then i realised looking at the hidden files that there were lots of ~ files all generated from the same file, most prefixed with a letter of the alphabet. i deleted them and it no longer gave the error, but every time i save it creates a new ~ file | 12:14 |
| nandu | I have the base system ready, want to install just the basic window manager component, how ? | 12:15 |
| Gothfunc | Dahito: the error triggered when i tried to save | 12:15 |

| nandu | How do I install just the basic Xwindow into my base system, and then choose panels by myself ? | 12:17 |
| Dahito | Gothfunc: dont know.. the ~ are only backup.. doesn't harm | 12:17 |
| amagee | any ideas why sftp would just say "Connection closed" and exit when i type in my (correct) password? | 12:18 |
| Gothfunc | Dahito: it's increasing the size of my web application by 27 times, and also when it runs out of letters of the alphabet to prefix with, it generates an error i can't even find on google, and stops me saving... seems like it does harm :P | 12:18 |

| Gothfunc | Dahito: correct. i'm looking at the prefs and gconf now. they both show backup is OFF | 12:20 |

| Gothfunc | Dahito: web programming is very light. i find eclipse is just too much for my needs | 12:20 |
| nandu | rww: Will not it be the same as installing the xfce desktop ? I installed the base system so that I get to customize everything ?? | 12:21 |
| PDani | hi | 12:21 |
| temaruk | hy | 12:21 |
| rww | nandu: The xorg package installs the basic Xorg system, and does not include a window manager. It also doesn't include xfce. | 12:22 |
| nandu | rww, yes | 12:22 |
| Gothfunc | Dahito: show me another lightweight editor which has a file explorer that can perform file operations and i'll use that instead :) | 12:23 |

| Gothfunc | Dahito: yeah i've had it work on other machines too. grr. i guess i just give up :s | 12:23 |
| Dahito | Gothfunc: actually for web dev i use eclipse.. :P .. | 12:23 |
| PDani | is there an easy-to-use solution for keeping some of my data encrypted in a folder? I would like something like ecryptfs-utils, but i don't want to mount it when i log in. i want to click on an icon, i want to enter always the password, and then i would like to get the mounted folder, and an umount icon. and all of this stuff as regular user | 12:24 |
| amagee | ok (sorry if i'm being irritating but this is slightly different again).. any ideas why i can sftp root@mydomain.com but not sftp myuser@mydomain.com ? | 12:24 |
| PDani | i mean, i don't want it to be automounted when i log in | 12:24 |

| G-man | You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server. | 12:43 |
| Callum_ | and restart the X server. | 12:43 |
| Callum_ | ...heh, he restarted the X server | 12:43 |
| clearscreen | Any reason why ubuntu devs took out the ctrl+alt+backspace hotkey? | 12:43 |
| dsdeiz | when you install, there are times that apt-get would recommend you additional packages right? can i ignore those additional packages? | 12:44 |
| xukun | !pulseaudio | 12:44 |
| ubottu | PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions | 12:44 |
| erUSUL | clearscreen: no the ubuntu-devs the Xorg devs disabled it | 12:44 |
| dsdeiz | !esd | 12:44 |
| ubottu | esd is the enlightened sound deamon. It's deprecated, use !alsa instead | 12:44 |

| ubottu | clearscreen: 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. | 12:44 |

| rsv | i already have fedora so it is taking that as well. i want to use ubuntu only on my hard disk | 12:50 |

| rsv | i want a swap partition of 1 GB | 12:52 |
| Callum_ | rsv: let Ubuntu configure your hard disks | 12:52 |
| simplexio | rsv: if you have 1G+ ram you dont need it but it helps | 12:52 |
| g-man | when i type that in terminal , it says no such file or dir | 12:52 |
| simplexio | rsv: and you can use file as swap | 12:52 |
| g-man | what u just wanted a paste of | 12:52 |
| sipior | rsv: was that obvious? at any rate, if you plan on installing ubuntu in place of fedora, you won't require a logical partition (needed only if you plan on having five or more disk partitions). | 12:52 |
| rsv | how do i tell ubuntu to allocate 1g as swap | 12:52 |
| Callum_ | rsv: if you don't know how to partition Linux drives, you'd better let Ubuntu do it for you | 12:53 |

| Callum_ | sipior: fair enough | 12:53 |
| Dr_Willis | rsv: or use the live cd and gparted to lay them out then tell the installer what to use. | 12:53 |
| Callum_ | wow, its busy in here | 12:54 |
| nandu | Have anyone seen this problem before, If I frequently fast switch between TTY and F7(X-Window) then my system hangs, giving blank screen ? | 12:54 |
| the_dark_warrio | is there a hotkey to make the window roll up? | 12:54 |
| Callum_ | eueu: its a good idea to use the one Samba creates as a base, and just modify it yourself | 12:54 |
| rsv | what is primary partition and logical partition? | 12:54 |
| rsv | which one should i choose | 12:54 |
| sipior | nandu: "don't do that, then" :-) | 12:54 |
| nandu | sipior: ok, but you mean it happens (normal) ? | 12:55 |

| g-man | and i keep doing that | 12:55 |
| sipior | nandu: i've never seen that myself. the system locks up? or can you still log in remotely? | 12:55 |
| g-man | over and over, but it does nothing | 12:56 |
| Dr_Willis | rsv: if you dont know such terms its a VERY good idea to read up on partitioning drives..or just let the installer do it. | 12:56 |
| eueu | Callum_, actually I need to design one for a very special purpose, which is I have a laptop of which the graphics card died and I would like all files to be recoverable. So I am creating an environment in a virtual machine to create a LiveCD that would include a script that mounts automatically all ntfs/fat partitions, and I would like Samba to share / to local networks without restriction | 12:56 |
| Dr_Willis | rsv: if you dont need more then 4 parittions - you can use all primaries | 12:56 |

| rsv | okay, thanks my installation has started | 13:03 |
| ikonia | b3rz3rk3r: you can do it as many times as you want, but if there is already a symlink there, that's not your problem | 13:03 |
| eueu | Callum_, actually my target is people that do not use much their computers. They have a computer that they cannot drive blind and the screen of which is not working. They have a Windows computer. With a liveCD they would be able to have a share to recover all files without any manipulation to do and nothing to install | 13:03 |
| ikonia | eueu: what's the ubuntu support question here ? | 13:03 |
| Callum_ | eueu: once the settings are saved onto the smb.conf every time the PC starts up the share will also start as well | 13:03 |

| kfan | I how 9.04 installed and working great and i want to install vista to dual boot how should i go about doing it | 13:20 |
| kfan | have* | 13:20 |
| zxd | what is Shiretoko | 13:21 |
| clearscreen | zxd: codename for firefox 3.5 | 13:21 |
| indus | kfan: if you install vista, it will overwrite the ubuntu bootloader grub with its own bootloader, then you will need to repair grub to boot into either | 13:21 |
| indus | i mean it will boot into vista | 13:21 |
| kfan | is it a paint in the butt? | 13:22 |
| kfan | paint* | 13:22 |
| kfan | dumb keyboard lol | 13:22 |
| indus | kfan: well, if you know how to install or partition , its quite ok | 13:22 |
| indus | kfan: just make sure you dont overwrite your ubuntu install | 13:22 |
| Boohbah | kfan: no, you just need to boot from livecd and run the grub-installer | 13:23 |
| kfan | ok | 13:23 |
| indus | kfan: so i am guessing ubuntu is on its own partition and you have separate for vista install | 13:23 |
| kfan | no i was going to use gparted and seperate them | 13:23 |
| miguelonnnn | hi , please how can i make iwlist eth1 scan works? i know i got the driver works cause networkmanager the graphic applet works with my wireless card | 13:23 |
| indus | kfan: ya sure thats good too | 13:24 |
| miguelonnnn | the error i get is "interface doesn't support scanning" | 13:24 |
| indus | kfan: repairing grub bootloader is fairly simple | 13:24 |
| Callum_ | miguielonnnn: wireless network cards are wlan# | 13:24 |
| indus | kfan: so good luck, once you install vista, you will need a live cd to repair grub | 13:24 |
| miguelonnnn | nope for me, for me its eth1 | 13:24 |
| kfan | ok | 13:24 |
| kfan | thanks | 13:24 |
| kfan | one more thing tho | 13:24 |
| miguelonnnn | eth0 is ethernet, eth1 is wireless | 13:25 |

| Callum_ | there* | 13:25 |
| Callum_ | miguelonnnn* | 13:25 |
| miguelonnnn | it's eth1 for me | 13:25 |
| g-man | okay, check the message i PM ed the link to you | 13:25 |
| kfan | typing grub-installer will open it? if i type in terminal? | 13:25 |
| indus | kfan: type sudo grub in terminal to enter the grub prompt | 13:25 |
| miguelonnnn | when i type iwconfig i get in eth1 the ip i got for internet, definitely eth1 is my wireless chip | 13:25 |

| JFlash | how should I run ubuntu as second OS? dual boot or virtual box? | 13:30 |
| Dr_Willis | JFlash: do what you want. :) | 13:30 |
| Dr_Willis | virtualbox is handy | 13:30 |
| JFlash | i heard computers (or windows) don't like dual boot very much? | 13:30 |
| Dr_Willis | JFlash: you heard wrong. | 13:31 |
| JFlash | it's handy but it wont give me a full os experience, will it? | 13:31 |
| Callum_ | JFlash: as long as you install Windows first, its really easy to dual-boot Windows and Linux | 13:31 |
| JFlash | i mean, with devices and all that | 13:31 |
| Dr_Willis | running Puppy In virutalbox - it works very well in virtualbox. | 13:31 |

| JFlash | it's 64 bit | 13:33 |
| Boohbah | JFlash: yup, turion is 64 bit | 13:33 |
| Dr_Willis | Callum_: well my old one -- i think was not.. but that was 3+ yrs ago. | 13:33 |

| Callum_ | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMD_Turion <--- yes, all Turions are 64-bit | 13:33 |

| YukiNagatoX | Hi guys, I installed Ubuntu on my laptop about 3 weeks ago and everything is going great, except my usb speeds D= they appear to be 1.0 Speeds maxing out at 6Mb/s. I know I can get much faster since I switched from Vista and the speeds were excellent. I've read this has something to do with ehci_hcd, any ideas? | 13:34 |
| rsv | i installed ubuntu when i reboot the system i get the grub prompt; does ubuntu install a bootloader by default? | 13:34 |
| g-man | clearscreen u still there, ? | 13:34 |
| clearscreen | g-man: unless I'm hugely mistaken (anyone feel free to correct me on this), your nvidia driver is being loaded correctly (although something does seem to go wrong at loading the glx extension)... i think your main problem is just an incorrect xorg configuration, there is just one modeline which is 640x480 | 13:34 |
| YukiNagatoX | sudo rmmod ehci_hcd and sudo modprobe ehci_hcd do nothing. | 13:34 |
| Callum_ | rsv: yes, it has to | 13:34 |
| JFlash | please tell me i dont need to burn ubuntu to a disc to install it | 13:34 |
| dab_ | Can anyone help me with some DNS troubles i seem to be having? | 13:34 |
| rsv | but what happened? why it not installed in my case | 13:34 |
| g-man | yes | 13:35 |
| clearscreen | g-man: I think there is a GUI for manually changing your resolution for nvidia cards, but I can't remember what it was (I dont have an nvidia card myself) .. I'm sure someone here does know what it is called | 13:35 |
| Dr_Willis | JFlash: i use unetbootin and make bootalbe flash drives.. to install from | 13:35 |
| JFlash | i mean, in a dual boot setup | 13:35 |
| clearscreen | GUI utility** | 13:35 |
| Callum_ | rsv: if you had a Windows bootloader there before, it will give you the option to chainload NTLDR to boot Windows | 13:35 |
| newill | after /join what I should write? | 13:35 |
| b3rz3rk3r | JFlash, you can use a USB, thats the best way imo as its much faster | 13:35 |
| Dr_Willis | JFlash: you need to boot ubuntu some how to install it.. cd, or flash, or some other way | 13:35 |
| miguelonnnn | enga tios me voy a papear | 13:35 |
| Callum_ | newill: the channel | 13:35 |
| miguelonnnn | sryyy | 13:35 |

| g-man | That's just it, i was told by somebody earliler, to go in as admin, then restart, and try to open x control | 13:35 |

| g-man | Only my primary was/is working atm | 13:36 |
| Callum_ | g-man: X server is using failsafe vesa configuration because of misconfigured X server | 13:36 |
| rsv | so why ubunti not installed in my case | 13:36 |
| newill | thanks a lot :) | 13:36 |
| rsv | what should i do | 13:36 |
| dabukalam | i'm having problems with flash on ubuntu, and i think it's something to do with the fact that it's 64-bit. In windows, 64-bit browsers don't support flash. How can i get flash to work on firefox? | 13:37 |
| Callum_ | rsv: it will overwrite the MBR and Ubuntu will install its own copy of grub | 13:37 |
| YukiNagatoX | No one knows how to make usb use 2.0 speeds? D= | 13:37 |
| g-man | I'm just trying to get it to work | 13:37 |
| g-man | I know its possible | 13:37 |
| GuidMorrow | is there a better compression format than "AVI"? I'm trying to record files but it takes F-O-R-E-V-E-R to compress files | 13:37 |
| StupidWeasel | 2.0 speeds work fine with me | 13:37 |
| g-man | because if dual monitored with xubuntu in the past | 13:37 |
| StupidWeasel | right out of the box | 13:37 |
| arielCo | hello everyone: I'm trying to get a key for the Pidgin PPA from keyserver.ubuntu.com. TCP is ok - I can connect via Telnet, but apt-key says the keyserver times out. | 13:37 |
| Callum_ | GuidMorrow: video encoding in general takes a long time | 13:37 |
| Dr_Willis | GuidMorrow: avi is a container.. it can contain video of any of several DOZEN codec types. | 13:37 |
| YukiNagatoX | 9.04? | 13:37 |
| g-man | im just new and i forgot how to get it to work | 13:37 |
| StupidWeasel | Yup, Jaunty. | 13:38 |
| Dr_Willis | GuidMorrow: and compressing most video files - via zip/rar/whatver is not going to gain much if anything | 13:38 |
| YukiNagatoX | =/ My system is 64 bit, would that make a difference? | 13:38 |
| Callum_ | no, YukiNagatoX | 13:38 |
| dabukalam | Dr_Willis: I don't think that's what he's talking about | 13:38 |
| zxd | Pici, how do I make firefox 3.5 default? just rename to /usr/bin/firefox ? | 13:38 |
| GuidMorrow | what do I need to do to compress it to MKV *(from MJPEG video/PCM audio) | 13:39 |
| Callum_ | unless the driver itself has problems | 13:39 |
| arielCo | @GuidMorrow - compressing always takes a long time. BTW, AVI is not a compression format but a container - a Codec, such as FLV, XVID etc is what actually does the compression | 13:39 |
| StupidWeasel | Humm nope, usb 2.0 works fine on my 64bit desktop. Although it's debian, it's all the same. | 13:39 |
| arielCo | @GuidMorrow - VLC should do the job | 13:39 |
| dab_ | Can anyone help me with some DNS troubles i seem to be having? | 13:39 |
| === sleepy_cat is now known as c_nick | ||
| StupidWeasel | Yes. Someone can. | 13:39 |
| Dr_Willis | GuidMorrow: you are using the term 'compress' wrong.. You mean 'reencode' to mkv | 13:40 |
| Callum_ | wow, to be honest I can't take much more of helping newbies, how do you guys do it day in day out | 13:40 |
| YukiNagatoX | So what should I do? =/ This seems to be a common issue from what google brings up. | 13:40 |
| Dr_Willis | GuidMorrow: ffmpeg/mencoder can reencode video to other formats. | 13:40 |
| clearscreen | zxd: you can manually change the symlink in /usr/bin, but the easiest way is to System -> Preferences -> Preferred Applications and change firefox to firefox-3.5 | 13:40 |
| GuidMorrow | what format setting should I use to encode into MKV | 13:40 |
| Dr_Willis | GuidMorrow: and there are front ends to those tools. winff avidumix and others | 13:40 |
| GuidMorrow | I'm using avidemux | 13:40 |
| dabukalam | GuidMorrow: As Callum_ quite rightly said, video encoding is very intensive, power-consuming, anda w time-consuming. you can get faster speeds with higher specs. I can see you quartering the time it takes with a 2GB 4870X2, 16G ram, and a bunch of quad-core's overclocked to 4GHz :D | 13:40 |
| g-man | okay | 13:40 |
| Callum_ | YukiNagatoX, no idea, sorry, just keep searching I guess, I'm sure a fix is SOMEWHERE | 13:40 |
| g-man | so ur gone? | 13:40 |
| g-man | is that it | 13:40 |
| g-man | jeese | 13:41 |
| StupidWeasel | Mmmhmm, I recommend you look up specific help for the system you're using if it's not home-made (and if it is, the motherboard you're using). | 13:41 |

| ddelgaudio | theoros:i think its just just to show off, because you can install it from a USB and you cant do it with neither vista/win 7 nor big majority linux distros | 13:50 |
| b3rz3rk3r | arielCo, cancel that.. just worked | 13:50 |
| b3rz3rk3r | :p | 13:50 |
| arielCo | oh, I can telnet after some time - takes about 15 secs to connect | 13:50 |
| arielCo | ok, going NOW | 13:50 |
| b3rz3rk3r | arielCo, prob just heavy traffic | 13:51 |
| dsdeiz | arielCo: you trying again? | 13:51 |
| arielCo | yup - no dice yet | 13:51 |
| arielCo | telnet works, apt-key still waiting | 13:51 |
| arielCo | no reply on #pigin =/ | 13:52 |
| arielCo | #pidgin | 13:52 |
| GuidMorrow | can I use MPEG-4/AC3 as a format for saving MP4 files | 13:52 |
| theoros | ddelgaudio: i don't see why that means it's an IMG and not an ISO. i'm aware you can install it from a USB | 13:53 |
| Pici | arielCo: Its not pidgin's server, it belongs to Canonical. | 13:53 |
| ddelgaudio | theoros: i mean, it's just marketing | 13:53 |
| ddelgaudio | theoros: theres nothing about usability or better technology as i see... | 13:53 |
| ddelgaudio | just to show that you can do it from an USB | 13:54 |
| arielCo | @Pici: yup, I know - I just wanted to confirm if the problem was particular to pidgin key (dunno) | 13:54 |
| theoros | ddelgaudio: how does being an IMG give you marketing? i don't get it | 13:54 |
| GuidMorrow | MP4 is slightly faster than the AVI container I was using | 13:55 |
| qwyeth | ddelgaudio: One reason USB installs are good is that you won't waste one-time-use media on an install disc. Another is that you don't need a CD-burner, only a cheap usb memory stick. | 13:55 |
| GuidMorrow | although ... what's the file extension, MP4 or AVI? | 13:55 |
| mUaNiZ | AE....................... | 13:56 |
| b3rz3rk3r | ddelgaudio, its also faster to read from a USB than a CD, which makes installs and bootups quicker | 13:56 |
| ddelgaudio | theoros: i though that you main question was about the USB | 13:56 |
| theoros | no, it's not | 13:56 |
| theoros | my question is why IMG instead of ISO | 13:56 |
| GuidMorrow | is there a TrID program for Ubuntu | 13:56 |
| ddelgaudio | theoros: sorry, i misunderstood you | 13:56 |
| coilette | is it possible to convert a game from windows to linux? | 13:57 |
| EF_Codd | coilette yes, if you can port the code yourself. Otherwise, no. | 13:57 |
| GuidMorrow | !wine | 13:57 |
| ubottu | WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu | 13:57 |
| b3rz3rk3r | theoros, where are you getting IMG's from? | 13:57 |
| theoros | b3rz3rk3r: UNR is offered as IMG, is it not? | 13:57 |
| EF_Codd | running? I didn't see any questions about running windows games on linux | 13:58 |
| coilette | couldnt one just decompile, and do a rebuild? | 13:58 |
| EF_Codd | coilette of course not | 13:58 |
| ddelgaudio | theoros: actually, i recently downloaded it with an iso immage | 13:58 |
| ddelgaudio | *image | 13:58 |
| b3rz3rk3r | theoros, i dont use it, so i donrt know, but all ubuntu distros come as ISO's so id imagine that would too | 13:58 |
| qwyeth | b3rz3rk3r: There are .imgs at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GettingUbuntu. theoros: A USB installer needs to be slightly different from a CD installer to handle drive assignment on boot | 13:58 |
| theoros | there is a whole help.ubuntu.com page on it: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromImgFiles | 13:58 |
| coilette | whats the fastest win emulator? | 13:59 |
| theoros | qwyeth: different in a way which means you can't use an ISO? | 13:59 |
| theoros | if it comes as an ISO, i don't see how your point is relevant | 13:59 |
| mUaNiZ | kkokoii | 13:59 |
| EF_Codd | coilette wine. But if I was you I'd dual boot for games | 13:59 |
| coilette | EF_codd thank for all the help.. and i will next install, dont want to change my partitions yet | 14:00 |
| mUaNiZ | aeeeeeeeeeeeeee........................................ | 14:00 |
| qwyeth | theoros: there is a tool called unetbootin that will automatically change a linux installer ISO into a usable USB image | 14:01 |
| Ubuntuvizir | hula | 14:01 |
| ddelgaudio | mUaNiZ: falae | 14:01 |
| EF_Codd | coilette I'll always be here for you | 14:01 |
| EF_Codd | always | 14:01 |
| ddelgaudio | mUaNiZ: ahaha | 14:01 |
| b3rz3rk3r | qwyeth, theoros the official download page just gives ISO's.. ? where are you seeing IMG's? | 14:01 |
| Ileden | Hi! I'm going to partition my SD card using LVM - but the disk I'm going to repartiton currently does not have *any* partitions, when viewed with fdisk (/dev/mmcblk0). The SD card came with a cell phone, as is working as vfat storage... is this normal? How can it not have a single partition? | 14:01 |
| guest00115496 | I just installed Ibex and I can not access my folders, help? | 14:01 |
| EF_Codd | Ileden have you mounted it? | 14:02 |
| EF_Codd | Ileden or tried to? | 14:02 |
| theoros | b3rz3rk3r: do you agree that https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromImgFiles states it comes as both IMG and ISO? | 14:02 |
| pozic | I have a huge swap file containing useless stuff. Is there a way to tell Linux that I want to clear the swap? | 14:02 |
| pozic | I have enough internal memory. It's just that I let a run-away program run a bit too long. | 14:03 |
| Ileden | EF_Codd: yes. It mounts quite ok with vfat. It contains no relevant data and I'm ready wipe it with the repartitioning, but I was just surprised to see a disk without partitions... | 14:03 |
| Ileden | EF_Codd: the unexpected situation sort-of triggered by internal debugger :) | 14:04 |
| theoros | b3rz3rk3r: secondly, http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloading?release=unr-newest&mirror=http://ubuntu.lagis.at/releases/&arch=i386 | 14:04 |
| brutus | is there video/voice chat support in pidgin on Ubuntu 9.04 ? | 14:04 |
| theoros | IMG file, right there. | 14:04 |
| b3rz3rk3r | theoros, yup, it says that, but i can only find ISO's on the official download page. Do you want an IMG specifically, or are you just wondering why there arent any? | 14:04 |
| EF_Codd | all the things you are saying about USB booting is ignoring the tool unetbootin | 14:04 |
| GuidMorrow | !ot | mUaNiZ | 14:04 |
| ubottu | mUaNiZ: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 14:04 |
| theoros | i'm not sure why people don't understand my question. | 14:04 |
| Ileden | Maybe there's something about partitionin I don't understand. I always thought a disk has to have at least one partition to contain any file system... | 14:04 |
| theoros | b3rz3rk3r: it comes as an IMG, but it also comes as an ISO. it seems that UNR comes as IMG, at least predominantly, and i'm asking why is IMG used instead of just ISO across the board? | 14:05 |
| EF_Codd | Ileden well it does have a partition if you mounted it | 14:05 |
| deany | theoros, because you dont "burn" an image, because that "img" is 1gig | 14:05 |
| theoros | what. | 14:05 |
| deany | theoros, its made to be written to a usb stick | 14:06 |
| b3rz3rk3r | theoros, thats a good question. ISO is the std afaik. | 14:06 |
| deany | theoros, usb stick isnt as iso fs | 14:06 |
| theoros | deany: i can make an ISO of a DVD and it'll be 2 GB. | 14:06 |
| deany | *an | 14:06 |
| b3rz3rk3r | deany, just you can still put ISO's on a flash card/USB stick | 14:06 |
| theoros | how does ISO have any filesystem specifics? | 14:06 |
| deany | b3rz3rk3r, I know, but thats not the topic here.. | 14:06 |
| === anthony is now known as G-man | ||
| EF_Codd | Ileden try /dev/mmcblk with fdisk | 14:06 |
| theoros | i find it highly doubtful that it's called an IMG because you "don't 'burn' an IMG since it's 1 GB" | 14:07 |
| EF_Codd | Ileden which you probably already have | 14:07 |
| deany | theoros, the UNR is an img, and you need to write it to a usb stick... | 14:07 |
| brutus | is there video/voice chat support in pidgin on Ubuntu 9.04 ? | 14:07 |
| theoros | deany: you have not understood my question, please stop highlighting me | 14:07 |
| G-man | Okay... guys so i went back to synaptics, and deleted everything that had to do with nvidia, is there any way i can just get my 9800gt to work | 14:07 |
| deany | theoros, that, or get an iso of regular ubuntu and make one with unetbootin | 14:07 |
| guest00115496 | What command do I use to reinstall Gnome Desktop in terminal? | 14:07 |
| theoros | deany: please stop highlighting me | 14:07 |
| Ileden | EF_Codd: "fdisk /dev/mmcblk0" displays no partitons (using command p show all the general information, but then an empty list of paritions) | 14:07 |
| deany | theoros, im not highlighting you, thats your chat. I`m takling to YOU so i`m putting your name before my text.... | 14:07 |
| xover | guys what is the best visio alternative for linux? I want to draw network diagrams | 14:07 |
| EF_Codd | Ileden yes, try "fdisk /dev/mmblk" | 14:07 |
| theoros | deany: oh so now you're arguing over semantics? /ignore it is. | 14:08 |
| EF_Codd | xover when you find it tell me. And I've been using linux for 12 years :) | 14:08 |
| deany | whatever. | 14:08 |
| theoros | so does anyone who actually understands my question have a reasonable answer? | 14:08 |
| qwyeth | b3rz3rk3r: The Netbook Remix edition is a .img because most netbooks don't have an optical drive. | 14:08 |
| G-man | Can i get some help with getting my drivers to get recognized | 14:08 |
| Ileden | EF_Codd: No /dev/mmblk | 14:08 |
| theoros | qwyeth: you could still use an ISO to get it onto a usb drive and then install from the usb, no? | 14:09 |
| G-man | or which drivers to download | 14:09 |
| Ozzah | Hi, I'm trying to compile a cpp file with g++, but it's having trouble with the complex.h library. The code compiles fine on a different machine - but will only compile here if I comment out the complex stuff. Any ideas? | 14:09 |
| weboide | G-man: doesn't nvidia-glx-180 work? | 14:09 |
| xover | its the only thing missing really EF_COLD, the rest do the job, open office isnt great, but for free, its pretty spanking excellent. | 14:09 |
| theoros | in fact, doesn't unetbootin specifically use ISOs? | 14:09 |
| G-man | will that work for a 9800gt ? | 14:09 |
| Ileden | EF_Codd: No /dev/mmcblk either | 14:09 |
| G-man | i just deleted it all | 14:09 |
| qwyeth | theoros: You could, but it would require the extra step of converting the CD image to a USB bootable image. The easiest way to do that is with unetbootin | 14:09 |
| G-man | cuz i obviously had the wrong drivers | 14:09 |
| weboide | G-man: I have an evga 9800gt and it works | 14:09 |
| G-man | now i wanna try again, fresh | 14:09 |
| EF_Codd | Ileden well hot diggity dawg | 14:09 |
| qwyeth | theoros: the .img is ready to be dumped on a USB stick, the ISO is not | 14:09 |
| G-man | okay... whats the code | 14:10 |
| G-man | i can type that in terminal | 14:10 |
| b3rz3rk3r | qwyeth, right, but you can still use an ISO to put on a USB stick/Flash card... so unless there is something that is specifc to IMG that helps, why not just give out ISO's and keep it all standard? | 14:10 |
| G-man | or do i go to synaptics | 14:10 |
| weboide | G-man: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-180 | 14:10 |
| Ileden | EF_Codd: You're suggesting the /dev/mmcblk0 is in fact one of the partitions, not the drive itself (like /dev/hda1 instead of /dev/hda), right? | 14:10 |
| legend2440 | G-man: open system>admin>hardware drivers activate the driver | 14:10 |
| julio | hi | 14:10 |
| deany | why make an iso of something thats made for a netbook thats not gonna be burned to a cd.... | 14:10 |
| xover | EF_Codd which is my best option for network diagrams? | 14:11 |
| Ileden | EF_Codd: in fact, sudo ls /dev/mm* lists only the /dev/mmcblk0 | 14:11 |
| EF_Codd | Ileden yeah. When I look at my SD card I do fdisk /dev/sdb and the partition is /dev/sdb1 | 14:11 |
| deany | is it so much trouble to dd it to the stick ffs | 14:11 |
| EF_Codd | xover I dual boot and use Visio. Sorry :) | 14:11 |
| qwyeth | b3rz3rk3r: The images are not the same. The main differences are in the bootloader and in the mount config | 14:11 |
| qwyeth | deany: This. | 14:11 |
| theoros | qwyeth: is this specific to ISO vs IMG, or of the offered ubuntu images? | 14:11 |
| xover | k, cheers geezer | 14:11 |
| G-man | okay, its not showing anything in the hardware drivers list | 14:11 |
| maraxush | hello | 14:12 |
| maraxush | i need some help... | 14:12 |
| weboide | G-man: try installing the package directly, it cannot hurt. | 14:12 |
| G-man | how do i do that | 14:12 |
| G-man | where is it located | 14:12 |
| EF_Codd | xover no wuckers cobber | 14:12 |
| Ileden | EF_Codd: hm... you're quite right, of course, since I can actually mount it, it's quite probably just a partition, not the disk itself. But how would I find out what the actual disk device is, since it's not /dev/mm*... | 14:12 |
| weboide | G-man: install the package named: nvidia-glx-180 | 14:12 |
| maraxush | anybodey can tell me, which program can i create wormhole vortex, and add it into an avi file? | 14:12 |
| maraxush | :-) | 14:12 |
| EF_Codd | Ileden hmm I don't know. You've investigated dmesg? | 14:13 |
| G-man | k | 14:13 |
| qwyeth | theoros: It might help if you remember that the extension (.img, .iso, etc) is arbitrary and is only a clue as to the format of the file. I've seen files ending in .img that are actually CD images | 14:13 |
| EF_Codd | Ileden and investigated /var/log/messages after inserting/ejecting the card? | 14:13 |
| theoros | qwyeth: i'm aware of this. what about my question made you think i wasn't talking about formats? | 14:13 |
| Ileden | EF_Codd: nope... not much familiar with dmesg. what should I look for? | 14:13 |
| deany | you cant help some people.. | 14:13 |
| qwyeth | theoros: The ones provided by ubuntu follow the common convention of using .iso for CD images. .img is more generic and it's also used for floppy images and hard disk images | 14:13 |
| theoros | qwyeth: so it would be literally impossible to use an ISO, without taking further steps, to create a live usb? | 14:14 |
| qwyeth | theoros: I just wanted to clarify because you've been talking about .img like it's a format, but it's not. | 14:14 |
| G-man | it's not showing up | 14:14 |
| G-man | in the synaptics.... | 14:14 |
| theoros | qwyeth: you just said it was a format. | 14:14 |
| === MUWAHAHAHAHA is now known as Anodyne | ||
| theoros | qwyeth: i'm fairly sure i haven't been talking about extensions | 14:14 |
| EF_Codd | Ileden uh, you'll know it when you see it :) | 14:14 |
| weboide | G-man: Type this in a terminal: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-180 | 14:15 |
| === Floops[w]1 is now known as Fringe | ||
| EF_Codd | Ileden you'll see your device being recognized | 14:15 |
| Ozzah | Hi, I'm trying to compile a cpp file with g++, but it's having trouble with the complex.h library. The code compiles fine on a different machine - but will only compile here if I comment out the complex stuff. Any ideas? | 14:15 |
| qwyeth | theoros: No, I said that .img is a clue to the format, but it's not actually formatted at all, it's a dump image | 14:15 |
| EF_Codd | Ileden when you plug in / unplug USB devices dmesg is written to. Usually /var/log/messages is as well | 14:15 |
| Pici | Ozzah: Probably best to ask in ##C++ | 14:15 |
| theoros | qwyeth: in a specific format | 14:15 |
| qwyeth | theoros: it's correct that if you image a .iso to a flashdrive it won't boot | 14:15 |

| Ozzah | thanks | 14:15 |
| Ileden | EF_Codd: but there's still no /dev/mmc0 :) | 14:16 |
| G-man | it told me unable to lock the administration directory is another process using it? | 14:16 |
| EF_Codd | Ileden one thing to do is type "tail -f /var/log/messages" in one terminal, then plug in/ unplug the card and look at the output | 14:16 |
| theoros | qwyeth: you said, "the extension (.img, .iso, etc) is arbitrary and is only a clue as to the format of the file". i wasn't referring to extensions, i was referring to the format of the file | 14:16 |
| weboide | G-man: you need to close Synaptics first | 14:16 |
| legend2440 | G-man: close synaptic first | 14:16 |
| G-man | k | 14:16 |
| theoros | qwyeth: incidentally, you've been using the extensions, not me? | 14:16 |
| deany | hahah | 14:16 |
| EF_Codd | Ileden also, do "lshw -C disk" in console and look at that output | 14:17 |
| qwyeth | theoros: I apologize if I sounded condescending, what I'm trying to explain is that the IMG files aren't 'formats' at all. They're disk dumps. | 14:17 |
| G-man | says reading package lists... done... | 14:17 |
| theoros | qwyeth: anyway, you have actually answered my question, about the difference between ISO and IMG, and why ISO isn't used, so thanks | 14:17 |
| G-man | E: couldnt find package nvidia-glx-180 | 14:17 |
| EF_Codd | Ileden you should see a line similar to "capabilities: partitioned partitioned:dos" when you do "lshw -C disk" | 14:17 |
| theoros | qwyeth: i know that, but i wasn't saying that the IMG files are "formats", but that the IMG file is of a specific format | 14:17 |
| weboide | G-man: what ubuntu do you have? | 14:17 |
| EF_Codd | IMG usually means a bit for bit, bitstream dump | 14:18 |
| G-man | 8.04 i believe | 14:18 |
| weboide | G-man: I see, that's why it's not there | 14:18 |
| G-man | oh | 14:18 |
| EF_Codd | it has nothing to do with "formats" | 14:18 |
| G-man | so go ahead and upgrade | 14:18 |
| G-man | or what | 14:18 |
| Ileden | EF_Codd: lshw -C disk only lists the internal SD of the netbook (/dev/sda) | 14:18 |
| theoros | EF_Codd: lack of format would still be a format, in my eyes. it has a specified structure; namely, no real structure | 14:18 |
| EF_Codd | it's not a format. It's a bitstream dump | 14:19 |

| blackxored | konza, hello | 14:19 |
| G-man | kk | 14:19 |
| Ileden | EF_Codd: and both dmesg and /var/log/messages have the messages about mmc0. It's an internal SD card reader. | 14:19 |
| G-man | can i upgrade to the next one from the website? | 14:20 |
| weboide | G-man: It is up to you. But I never tried my 9800gt with Hardy (8.04) and the latest drivers are not available in 9.04. | 14:20 |
| konza | blackxored, telnet localhost 10024 is not working | 14:20 |
| weboide | G-man: *8.04 | 14:20 |
| EF_Codd | Ileden heh, uh just do "fdisk /dev/sda" | 14:20 |
| EF_Codd | Ileden what does that tell you? | 14:20 |
| G-man | so which one do i use | 14:20 |
| G-man | ? | 14:20 |
| weboide | G-man: Intrepid 8.10 has them | 14:20 |
| G-man | so get intrepid | 14:21 |
| G-man | ? | 14:21 |
| Ileden | EF_Codd: It gives me the normal list of my internal partitons, /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2 and /dev/sda5 | 14:21 |

| weboide | G-man: Yeah but you know how to upgrade/reinstall? | 14:21 |
| G-man | not quite | 14:22 |
| Ileden | EF_Codd: internal SSD drive paritions, that is. not the internal SD-card reader partitons which I'm after :D | 14:22 |
| EF_Codd | Ileden lol that makes more sense | 14:22 |
| G-man | synaptics or what | 14:22 |
| EF_Codd | Ileden so the problem is you can't see the partition on your SSD | 14:23 |
| Ileden | EF_Codd: yup, it's quite an important extra S there :) | 14:23 |
| EF_Codd | ? | 14:23 |
| Ileden | EF_Codd: nope | 14:23 |
| Ileden | EF_Codd: problem is, I can't see the partitions of my SD card, in the internal SD card reader | 14:23 |
| konza | blackxored, ok.. | 14:23 |
| Ileden | EF_Codd: my SSD /dev/sda works fine :) | 14:23 |

| G-man | it says ur system is up to date | 14:25 |
| EF_Codd | Ileden why don't you just repartition it? | 14:26 |
| legend2440 | G-man: mo upgrade button anywhere? | 14:26 |
| legend2440 | no | 14:26 |
| EF_Codd | Ileden in other words, I don't know anything else to tell you :) | 14:26 |

| Ileden | EF_Codd: because that doesn't contain any partitons currently, so it seems like a weird thing to repartition... | 14:27 |

| EF_Codd | Ileden well, I'm taking it that you don't need to keep anything that's on the SD card now? | 14:27 |
| Ileden | EF_Codd: true | 14:28 |
| EF_Codd | Ileden it could be that whatever device you took it out of had a strange cylinder/heads thing going on | 14:28 |
| DJ_Unibob|laptop | meh...bad time of the day, phone calls knocking me offline again | 14:28 |
| EF_Codd | Ileden which just means the way fdisk reads things is getting screwed up | 14:28 |

| ubottu | For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted, !QtParted (!Kubuntu 8.10 and lower) or !PartitionManager (!Kubuntu 9.04 and up) - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap | 14:28 |
| EF_Codd | Ileden it happens a lot (or did) with *BSDs | 14:28 |
| humbolt | can you imagine a good procedure to move a LVM setup from one machine to another via the network? | 14:28 |
| Ileden | EF_Codd: ah... so it's posbbile that it *can* be mounted, even though fdisk sees no partitions on it... | 14:29 |
| EF_Codd | Ileden yes | 14:29 |
| EF_Codd | Ileden fdisk looks for certain "patterns" to identify partitions. If they aren't there, or are in a different place fdisk gets confused | 14:29 |
| Ileden | EF_Codd: ok... that I didn't know. | 14:29 |
| EF_Codd | Ileden it's a trick that bad guys exploit sometimes so that forensic tools don't work properly | 14:30 |
| G-man | ah | 14:30 |
| EF_Codd | Ileden mitigated by looking at the actual bits though ... | 14:30 |
| EF_Codd | Ileden I've never had a mmcblk0 device. But I'm interested in your problem, and if you get it partitioned | 14:31 |
| Ileden | EF_Codd: well, it did originally come from a phone, so they woudn't care about partition stuff that much I guess. | 14:31 |
| EF_Codd | Ileden ah ok then. It is entirely possible the phone formatted it in a "slightly" proprietary way | 14:31 |
| Ileden | EF_Codd: ok, well I'll try writing a new partition table on it with fdisk. | 14:33 |

| dab_ | anyone know a decent app for converting wma to mp3? | 14:37 |
| EF_Codd | Ileden did you look at it with gparted? | 14:37 |
| Ileden | dab_: sox does most formats, as far as I know... | 14:37 |
| Boohbah | dab_: http://ocaoimh.ie/how-to-convert-from-wma-to-mp3/ | 14:37 |
| dab_ | awesome, thanks Ileden, Boohbah | 14:38 |
| Boohbah | dab_: there's a nice script, uses mplayer | 14:38 |
| Ileden | EF_Codd: nope. I'll take a look after the dd is complete | 14:38 |
| Boohbah | dab_: lame too | 14:38 |
| dab_ | great! :) | 14:39 |
| EF_Codd | Ileden gparted looks at the disk in a slightly different way so that might yield something | 14:40 |
| Ileden | EF_Codd: I did try gparted once, though, but it provided no way to select anything but /dev/sda. Can I use it to access a specific device with "sudo gparted /dev/mmcblk0"? | 14:41 |
| maszlo | grawity: only ssh, remotely specificly | 14:41 |
| EF_Codd | Ileden I wish I knew. That's why I want you to try it :) | 14:41 |
| EF_Codd | Ileden like I say, I've never had a /dev/mmcblk0 device | 14:41 |
| EF_Codd | Ileden also, after you mount the card, what does the "mount" command say about it? | 14:42 |
| grawity | Ileden, EF_Codd: gparted probably doesn't show devices if they don't have a partition table. | 14:43 |
| EF_Codd | grawity yeah, it was just another avenue | 14:44 |
| Boohbah | maszlo: also check out ClientAliveInterval | 14:44 |
| suigeneris | how can I know which hardware ubuntu did/didn't recognize? does it have a device manager like windows does? | 14:44 |
| EF_Codd | grawity I'd like to know what "mount" says | 14:44 |
| Boohbah | ClientAliveCountMax | 14:44 |
| Boohbah | maszlo: ^^ that too | 14:44 |
| grawity | maszlo: Did you try _disabling_ keepalive? | 14:44 |
| Ileden | EF_Codd: mount looks pretty normal. /dev/mmcblk0 on /media/disk type vfat (options....) | 14:45 |
| grawity | Very often, removable media (memory cards, USB disks) have a single filesystem, without even a partition table. | 14:45 |
| grawity | Like with this mmcblk0, apparently. | 14:45 |
| rabidweezle | suigeneris: basically, you will notice it won't work | 14:45 |
| === xbmc is now known as xukun_ | ||
| EF_Codd | yeah | 14:45 |
| grawity | And I'm guessing gparted wants a partition table. | 14:45 |
| Ileden | grawity: so... they have jsut a file system directly? you can do that? | 14:46 |
| grawity | Ileden: Yep | 14:46 |
| EF_Codd | devices like cameras and phones do that with their internal formaters | 14:46 |
| maszlo | grawity: I have not tried to disable keepalive | 14:46 |
| rabidweezle | suigeneris: for the record though, ubuntu recognizes about 90% of all hardware I have thrown at it | 14:46 |
| Ileden | grawity: so... can you also have a partiton table inside a partition then? :) | 14:46 |
| grawity | Ileden: Yep. (It's not going to be read though.) | 14:46 |
| EF_Codd | it doesn't need the table actually | 14:46 |

| imi | the ubuntu upgrader reports some bad signature | 14:47 |
| imi | what's this, and can I safely ignore it? | 14:47 |
| Ileden | grawity, EF_Codd: ok, this is starting to make a lot more sense now. | 14:47 |
| EF_Codd | sometimes they even create an extended partition which is really the "primary" partition | 14:48 |
| EF_Codd | it's the reason they love FAT ... you can do all sorts of non-standard stuff | 14:49 |
| EF_Codd | while NTFS enforces rules :) | 14:49 |
| grawity | NTFS and "extended partitions" aren't related | 14:50 |
| SingAlong | is there a different channel for UNR? | 14:51 |
| EF_Codd | grawity what are you talking about? | 14:51 |
| slayton | are there any online calendar services that allow you to create events in evolution and then sync to the server? google calendar doesn't do this its read only | 14:51 |
| SingAlong | I just installed UNR on my Acer Aspire One. I selected the option to keep the windows copy that came with my netbook. But now it seems that ubuntu installer has set my root file system size to 2.4gb and its not sufficient for me to install extra pkgs. any suggestions? | 14:52 |
| SingAlong | is there anyway to increase the root file system size? | 14:52 |
| xukun_ | can anybody tell me why I'm not hearing sound when playing audo file like mp3. Ac3 sounds works just fine | 14:52 |
| EF_Codd | grawity I'm saying they use DOS extended partitions when cameras and phones do their formatting. They then sometimes divide these into logical partitions | 14:53 |
| rabidweezle | A quick note to linux gamers out there, do *not* buy the unreal anthology dvd EVEN THOUGH it has a picture of tux, and linux is supported it says on the box, it isn't, it has no linux installer, or binaries, and you can't even access the files in linux. | 14:53 |
| EF_Codd | then you basically get a "link" to the extended partition table that describes the first logical partition on the disk | 14:54 |
| SingAlong | anyone? | 14:54 |
| === factorx__ is now known as Tommy_DO | ||
| rabidweezle | SingAlong: yes, use a gparted livecd | 14:54 |
| EF_Codd | Because these devices don't use the cards to boot, they don't need to have a primary partition set to bootable | 14:54 |
| geirha | SingAlong: You can boot with the USB-stick you installed UNR from, and run gparted from that. | 14:55 |
| SingAlong | rabidweezle: any doc or tutorial you could point me to? (i have a netbook. so can i use my usb instead?) | 14:55 |
| rabidweezle | SingAlong: Gparted is pretty simple, trust me, basically it's all gui | 14:55 |
| geirha | SingAlong: Do you have the model with 8GB SSD disk? | 14:55 |

| rabidweezle | SingAlong: intel video? | 14:56 |
| mini-man | been googling for hours, looking at patches.ubuntu.com, but can't find anything | 14:56 |
| SingAlong | rabidweezle: ya i think so. it uses an intel atom processor | 14:56 |
| SingAlong | rabidweezle: why? | 14:56 |
| geirha | SingAlong: Hm. Odd that it used so low ammount of space then. | 14:56 |
| rabidweezle | SingAlong: I wouldn't mind a netbook, but I would rather die than play with a intel GMA :( | 14:56 |

| SingAlong | EF_Codd: eclipse is heavy! i had to upgrade my comp to 3gb ram to run it happily while playing music and surfing. :) | 15:01 |
| geirha | SingAlong: You can't do it from the install itself, since all partitions must be unmounted when you want to resize | 15:01 |

| EF_Codd | mothas 9.04 is the latest stable release. So yes :) | 15:15 |
| Lartza_ | Could ubuntu freeze when accessing hard drive because of ext4 format?? | 15:15 |
| Lartza_ | :S | 15:15 |
| SingAlong | mothas: 8.04 has 3yrs support. x.10 versions have 5yrs support. LTS versions | 15:15 |
| gigglefight | therefore the 9.04 ubuntu would work on the PPC? | 15:15 |
| gigglefight | would the 9.04 work fine? | 15:15 |
| EF_Codd | mothas the short answer is get 9.04 | 15:16 |
| rabidweezle | if it's the ppc version | 15:16 |
| triplc | Hi all | 15:16 |
| rabidweezle | every architecture has to download their version of ubuntu | 15:16 |
| triplc | I cannot open Encfs folder (which was just working before shutdown and login). It say "Transport endpoint is not connected" after encfs mount and trying to open the folder. looks like it's because of fuse or something. but i donot know how to shoot the problem. if any one know, please tell me a hint. | 15:16 |
| SingAlong | now this is why i like ubuntu. everything is just beautifully possible. | 15:16 |
| gigglefight | link please to ppc version of 9.04 | 15:16 |
| gigglefight | thanks. | 15:16 |
| DJ_Unibob|laptop | jaunty (9.04) is the first release I've used that my laptop hasn't had a single issue with...well, WEP/64 being an exception | 15:16 |
| trupheenix1 | anyone got bright ideas to install MySQL 5.1 on Jaunty server? | 15:16 |
| Lartza_ | Yea where can you get ppc 9.04?? | 15:16 |
| triplc | (i am not using ubuntu, but i see ubuntu irc has many people so i go and ask, sorry if i nbother you) | 15:16 |
| mothas | SingAlong: No offense intended here, but there's no of-course to it. When they first introduced Xorg, Pulseaudio, and a few other things, there were problems that took a few versions to work out. | 15:17 |
| tipote | Hi all. I am suffering from bug #342782 (python-qwt5-qt4 will not install on Jaunty). Thus I am trying to install pyqwt from source. | 15:17 |
| Lartza_ | gigglefight: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/jaunty/release/ | 15:17 |
| SingAlong | mothas: ya. agree. but there's always a fix being worked on. :) | 15:17 |
| gigglefight | thanks :) | 15:17 |
| EF_Codd | unless the project is abandoned lol | 15:17 |
| mothas | SingAlong: True. | 15:17 |
| tipote | Everything goes correcly, but when I try to do "import PyQt4.Qwt5" in python, I get "No module named Qwt5". Any idea ? | 15:18 |
| === MadMax is now known as Guest46345 | ||
| gigglefight | will do. but then my next question: is it possible to return to mac os x 10.5 from ubuntu? | 15:18 |
| gigglefight | just curious. | 15:18 |
| kfan | is there anything i can type to refresh video because i dont have sysrq button | 15:18 |
| SingAlong | which file system is better? ext3 or ext4? | 15:19 |
| mothas | SingAlong: The task I have at and though is to install an OS on a production system. It can't have anything major that is being still worked out; I don't mind configuring it, but it has to just work once I'm done. | 15:19 |
| rabidweezle | gigglefight: with the install cd I'm guessing, unless they let you dual boot on mac | 15:19 |
| SingAlong | b/w can linux write to ntfs? | 15:19 |
| EF_Codd | SingAlong yes | 15:19 |
| SingAlong | mothas: server? | 15:19 |
| rabidweezle | dunno if grub works on mac like that | 15:19 |
| clearscreen | SingAlong: ntfs-3g :) | 15:19 |
| trupheenix1 | anyone got ideas for installing MySQL 5.1 on Ubuntu Jaunty Server? | 15:20 |
| SingAlong | EF_Codd: are you using ext3 or ext4? suggestions on which is better? | 15:20 |
| rabidweezle | I have never owned but the first ever mac with the m68k | 15:20 |
| grawity | SingAlong: ntfs-3g module, comes with Ubuntu, has nearly perfect NTFS support (for most) | 15:20 |
| gigglefight | ragidweezle: how so? | 15:20 |
| EF_Codd | SingAlong I use ext4 with no problems | 15:20 |
| kfan | how do you refresh video i thru terminal? | 15:20 |
| EF_Codd | anyway, have to go | 15:20 |
| gigglefight | rabidweezle: whoa... now that's an antique... don't like mac... | 15:20 |
| _pedda_ | hi there | 15:20 |
| EF_Codd | grawity oh, you're a tool by the way | 15:20 |
| EF_Codd | ciao :) | 15:21 |
| SingAlong | grawity: k. i'll use ext4 for 20gb and another 20gb of ntfs. i already have 101gb for windows (for what they call the C drive) :) | 15:21 |
| _pedda_ | i need a keyword for research on google about how to create a preconfigured ubuntu installation cd.. | 15:21 |
| rabidweezle | gigglefight: I like getting what I pay for, but not paying for a name | 15:21 |
| gigglefight | downloading 9.04 for PowerPC at the moment. | 15:21 |
| grawity | SingAlong: How about using all 40 for ext4? :| | 15:21 |
| rabidweezle | hence why I don't own a mac | 15:21 |
| _pedda_ | is there an application or method i should google for ? | 15:21 |
| gigglefight | I didn't buy this mac. LOL. | 15:21 |
| gigglefight | I inherited it... eww. | 15:21 |
| triplc | I cannot open Encfs folder (which was just working before shutdown and login). It say "Transport endpoint is not connected" after encfs mount and trying to open the folder. looks like it's because of fuse or something. but i donot know how to shoot the problem. if any one know, please tell me a hint. (question re-asked) | 15:21 |
| csaba | is there a good c++ editor for gnome? | 15:21 |
| kfan | how do you refresh video i thru terminal? | 15:22 |
| mothas | SingAlong: workstation. Not a personal computer though; has 8-disk raid, multiple monitors, and usually multiple users (via ssh X-sessions). | 15:22 |
| grawity | With Linux, you get what you pay for - unless you paid for it. | 15:22 |
| grawity | csaba: vim, emacs, gedit | 15:22 |
| rabidweezle | gigglefight: I figured, it's kinda old | 15:22 |
| * triplc feeling so so hopeless | 15:22 | |
| rabidweezle | g5's that is | 15:22 |
| csaba | gravity: I don't like gedit, and vim and emacs aren't gnome | 15:22 |
| JonJ_ | csaba: Or if you want an IDE there's anjuta | 15:22 |
| SingAlong | mothas: oh | 15:22 |
| SingAlong | mothas: pretty mission critical | 15:22 |

| DJ_Unibob|laptop | this room moves rapidly, be patient and if you have to, ask more than once, but wait a bit in between requests... | 15:23 |
| SingAlong | mothas: but i dont think you'll ned xorg or any other fancy stuff for that i guess? | 15:23 |
| SingAlong | mothas: some kinda local server? | 15:23 |
| gigglefight | I'd like to preform miracles. Is it possible to install Ubuntu 9.04 then Mac OS again. (possible leopard) | 15:23 |
| DJ_Unibob|laptop | I'm unable to help, I'm an ubuntu newb. I'm learning tho | 15:23 |
| clay | when I try to bring up places>home I keep get cervisia errors. How do I fix this? | 15:23 |
| gigglefight | I installed ubuntu just to undo the password junk that mac os gives me. | 15:23 |
| rabidweezle | gigglefight: no os change is perminant | 15:23 |
| gigglefight | on mac? | 15:23 |
| rabidweezle | on any os | 15:24 |
| grawity | gigglefight: if you have the OS X disc - it's easy to install it. | 15:24 |
| rabidweezle | I can install mac os on this non mac laptop if I wanted to | 15:24 |
| grawity | rabidweezle: that's not the point. | 15:24 |
| gigglefight | my friend who owns a mac laptop has a problem installing operating system because of password stuff from madc. | 15:24 |
| gigglefight | mac | 15:24 |
| mothas | SingAlong: More or less - it records video and lets folks edit it and send it to remote monitors. | 15:24 |
| gigglefight | I had no problem with the password issue when I installed ubuntu. :) | 15:24 |
| rabidweezle | gigglefight: like a bios password? | 15:24 |
| gigglefight | um... Admin password or something like that... | 15:25 |
| gigglefight | I haven't seen his system. | 15:25 |
| ZOO0828 | SingAlong: ext4 is definitely faster and better than ext3 which also enables some linux distros to possibly boot into desktop within 20 seconds, only one thing might concern you is that other distros without ext4 support will not be able to read ext4 filesystem | 15:25 |
| gigglefight | I mentioned to him to install ubuntu. :) | 15:25 |
| rabidweezle | gigglefight: did he buy his laptop second hand? | 15:26 |
| clearscreen | ZOO0828: is it really that much faster? I havent noticed a big difference between the two.. | 15:26 |
| mothas | SingAlong: It needs Xorg, yes. The issue is that it's currently running 8.04 with backports and has developed instability - some apps don't display on the right screens anymore (or any screen as far as I can tell). | 15:26 |
| thiebaude | ZOO0828, i wonder if the next LTS will have ext4 by default? | 15:26 |
| gigglefight | nope... he's a comp tech.. who doesn't know anything about mac. | 15:26 |
| gigglefight | it's his friend's | 15:26 |
| ZOO0828 | clearscreen not that much, :) at least my crunchbang still boot in 40 seconds | 15:26 |
| ZOO0828 | maybe only in theory | 15:27 |
| lneves | quit | 15:27 |
| gigglefight | k. how to open .dmg files on ubuntu? | 15:27 |
| DJ_Unibob|laptop | 9.04 is a tad faster than 8.10 was on this machine, both being 64 bit | 15:27 |
| ZOO0828 | thiebaude possible, :) and hope so | 15:27 |
| SingAlong | geirha: i turned off swap. but i cannot resize swap partition. although now i ahve 80gb freespace and am able to create new logical partitions. | 15:27 |
| rabidweezle | gigglefight: Ahh, yeah, there's a lot of people how there that know nothing about macs, just because well, they aren't even as mainstream as linux to some. | 15:27 |
| thiebaude | ZOO0828, yep | 15:27 |
| archman | today i updated my gnome-terminal and i was hoping that the "gnome-terminal: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libvte.so.9: undefined symbol: pango_layout_get_baseline" will disappear. any help? why's it happening. it started to happen when i upgraded to jaunty. it just doesn't work anymore. | 15:28 |
| gigglefight | do I convert them .dmg to .iso then boot the computer holding the c key and all that jazz? | 15:28 |
| thiebaude | ZOO0828, but its so tempting to order that 9.10 cd | 15:28 |
| ZOO0828 | thiebaude: why not | 15:28 |
| gigglefight | rabidweezle: amazingly disney uses mostly mac, from what I hear... omg! | 15:29 |
| SingAlong | geirha: np i got it. i had to take care of the preceeding space setting | 15:29 |
| gigglefight | the horror. | 15:29 |
| thiebaude | ZOO0828, i'll order, because i have all the others since 6.06 | 15:29 |
| DJ_Unibob|laptop | only thing I find good about macs is audio apps. | 15:29 |
| rabidweezle | gigglefight: Most movie companies and music companies do | 15:29 |
| thiebaude | just in case | 15:29 |
| ZOO0828 | thiebaude you are really into ubuntu ,, aren't you... lol | 15:29 |

| Aijse | sorry wrong chatbox | 15:30 |
| gigglefight | oh yeah.. is it possible to run CS3 or CS4 on Ubuntu? | 15:30 |
| mothas | SingAlong: Thanks for the advice anyway - I may give 9.04 a whirl. I'm just gun shy about regressions, after the ones in XrandR & Compiz. | 15:30 |
| gigglefight | how to go about that? | 15:30 |
| Lartza_ | ext4 lockups and freezes are common problem?? o.O | 15:30 |
| rabidweezle | gigglefight: with wine I think you can, but I can't be certain, check the wine appdb | 15:31 |

| SingAlong | mothas: compiz needs a good graphics card i think so. | 15:31 |
| rabidweezle | garymc: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree | 15:31 |
| DJ_Unibob|laptop | date is in mm/dd/yyyy, I want to change it to dd-mmm-yyyy is that easy to accomplish? | 15:32 |
| garymc | yeah got that one but its messing my sound up and doesnt play right | 15:32 |
| gigglefight | does wine work on mac g4? | 15:32 |
| x[x] | lads.. whats it mean if the screen usually goes blank on any ubuntu live cd installtion or hd installtion or ubuntu 8.04 8.10 nubuntu and Backtrack 4? | 15:32 |
| rabidweezle | gigglefight: yep | 15:32 |
| RHorse | garymc what fp you have now? | 15:32 |
| grawity | gigglefight: Is the G4 using an Intel CPU? | 15:32 |
| archman | so this terminal problem is unsolvable? :( | 15:32 |
| rabidweezle | G4 is PPC | 15:32 |
| garymc | i think its flash nonfree | 15:32 |
| gigglefight | if I fit in the entire CS3 into the system, do you think it'll slow it down? | 15:33 |
| RHorse | garymc ok first you have to uninstall it | 15:33 |
| mothas | SingAlong: compiz needs to be removed. It's pretty, but very limited for multi-user setups. | 15:33 |
| gigglefight | nope. it's not an Intel CPU for sure... | 15:33 |
| psam | hello | 15:33 |
| grawity | gigglefight: Wine only emulates the Windows APIs, not the entire CPU. If you don't have an x86 CPU, Wine won't work. (Or at least I highly doubt it will work.) | 15:33 |
| psam | i need help to get a usb modem to work | 15:33 |
| gigglefight | aww. | 15:33 |
| garymc | how i did sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-nonfree and i still had it | 15:33 |
| SingAlong | mothas: cannot agree more. compiz has no job in a workstation | 15:34 |
| garymc | Rhorse : ^^ | 15:34 |

| garymc | RHorse removed all packages, which one should i install? | 15:37 |
| grawity | rabidweezle: even if it had, it wouldn't work :| running an x86 OS on a PPC CPU requires full emulation - quite a slow thing compared to virtualization. | 15:37 |
| gigglefight | heard of it. Will look into it more. I'm at 90% downloaded Ubuntu 9.04 | 15:37 |
| psam | here it is: http://paste.ubuntu.com/267979/ | 15:37 |
| rabidweezle | gigglefight: checking it out, running x86 emulation on a ppc is VERY SLOW gigglefight | 15:37 |
| psam | it's a long text =) | 15:37 |
| gigglefight | will be leaving soon. thanks for the help! | 15:37 |

| G-Man | this shit is getting ridiculous | 15:41 |
| proview | grawity, also, didnt apt-get did all this things, why in this version of ubuntu 9.04 its not working | 15:41 |
| grawity | proview: MySQL uses two types of sockets: TCP socket (the one telnet uses) and Unix socket (file-based). | 15:41 |
| psam | oh well =( | 15:41 |
| ZOO0828 | psam: try this guide http://www.lug-iitd.org/EvDO_on_Linux don't worry if your modem is not EVDO, | 15:41 |
| blackxored | kind of silly question, if I got this v3 phone and plug oin to my usb bus, and then fire up a vm with xp, there's a way that my vm recognizes it although my linux system might not? | 15:41 |
| G-Man | so i upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 | 15:41 |
| G-Man | now everything is jumbo... | 15:41 |

| coilette | it could be | 15:50 |
| ZOO0828 | blackxored: your VM can't see the phone? | 15:50 |
| grawity | coilette: apt-cache search lcap | 15:50 |
| blackxored | ZOO0828, I had some issues in the past making usb devices working with vbox | 15:50 |
| coilette | did that grawity | 15:50 |

| ZOO0828 | blackxored: is the usb section grayed out? | 15:50 |
| psygate | @bxcttr1 mount -f? | 15:51 |
| blackxored | ZOO0828, sometimes it is sometimes it's not, weird | 15:51 |
| ZOO0828 | blackxored, oh, simple answer, ose vbox does not support usb | 15:51 |
| blackxored | ZOO0828, but it activates some times, how could that be possible | 15:51 |
| ionut_ | Hello guys! Does anoyne have a PowerEdge 860 server? | 15:51 |
| ZOO0828 | blackxored never mind , go to sun vbox site and download the full version | 15:51 |
| coilette | During an FTP server 'make' i get "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lcap" i dont know the correct package to grab, and there is no lcap in apt-cace search | 15:52 |
| coilette | cache* | 15:52 |
| blackxored | ZOO0828, i'll be probably back to vmware, but who knows, i might give a try to vbox, once again | 15:52 |

| shawnps | I just built a new machine, and I installed Jaunty and got everything to work including the nvidia driver for my onboard Geforce 8100. Should I install Karmic instead? | 15:53 |
| ZOO0828 | blackxored: if i were, you, i would like to try to solve the problem in vbox first, and it's not that hard | 15:53 |
| blackxored | ZOO0828, all right, but vmware supports might be better | 15:53 |
| ZOO0828 | blackxored actually, I just got my own vbox working recently | 15:53 |
| blackxored | ZOO0828, I'll following your advice, download vbox-3.0.4 | 15:53 |

| CaptainKacke | hi @all. can anybody tell me how i can add a firefox symbol to my desktop, without usind the plasmoids. when i create a link the symbol is only a question mark. how can i fix this? | 15:54 |
| ZOO0828 | blackxored and even with the full version, some more steps need to take before the usb could function properly | 15:54 |
| ZOO0828 | blackxored hold on, grub some info | 15:55 |
| ionut_ | Do you think I could add more than 8 GB Memory to a Dell PowerEdge 860 server? It has foud memory slots. I don't see why it would not support 4 GB modules? Has anyone tried this? | 15:55 |
| Pici | ionut_: Thats not really on-topic for this channel. ##hardware would be a more appropriate place to discuss. | 15:56 |
| blackxored | ZOO0828, vmware server is free, at least in a money-sense | 15:56 |
| ionut_ | ok. will try that. thx | 15:56 |
| ZOO0828 | blackxored that;s true | 15:56 |
| coilette | During an FTP server 'make' i get "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lcap" i dont know the correct package to grab, and there is no lcap (LCAP) in apt-cache search | 15:57 |

| G-man | well.. i was told that the reason i couldnt get my video card to work was because i was on 8.04 | 15:58 |
| blackxored | ZOO0828, also, sun's blocking my country :D | 15:58 |
| G-man | i upgrade to 8.10 | 15:58 |
| G-man | and now its bugged out | 15:58 |
| G-man | everything is even bigger than before | 15:58 |
| Cpudan80 | 8.10 is old | 15:58 |
| grawity | technically, the latest version is 9.04, not 8.10 | 15:58 |
| G-man | but i can at least look at xcontrol now | 15:58 |
| Cpudan80 | get 9.04 | 15:58 |
| proview | 9.04 sucks right now | 15:58 |
| Cpudan80 | But - I will agree - the changes made to X were not ... the best idea | 15:59 |
| ionut_ | for vbox with usb support you must use VBoX PUEL and make yourself a member of the group vboxusers | 15:59 |
| G-man | to be honest | 15:59 |
| G-man | im afraid it will be worse | 15:59 |
| ZOO0828 | blackxored: the steps works for other version of ubuntu as well only you may change one line to "none /sys/bus/usb/drivers usbfs devgid=120,devmode=664 0 0" depends | 15:59 |
| G-man | i mean i cant even figure out how to get my resolution any higher than 640*480 | 15:59 |
| G-man | and when i try to click windows, they just move around | 15:59 |
| ZOO0828 | blackxored : how so? :) | 15:59 |

However, pvcreate /dev/mmcblk0p1 fails with "Device not found (or ignored by filtering)." My /etc/lvm/lvm.conf is set to scan from /dev, and should include all devices. What's going wrong here? Why can't I initialize /dev/mmcblk0p1 as a physical volume? | 16:34 |
| G-man | i dont remember ubuntu being such a pain last time | 16:34 |
| G-man | my video card ran fine | 16:34 |
| borreguito | yes... i want linux powerdvd | 16:34 |
| psygate | use a free alternative?? | 16:34 |
| psygate | or a paypal account? | 16:35 |
| psygate | if you dont have a credit card, you are pretty much f...# | 16:35 |
| bobsomebody | borreguito, are you in the USA? | 16:35 |
| psygate | go to your local computer store and order it ^^ | 16:35 |
| borreguito | i am from Mexico | 16:35 |
| Ileden | borreguito: Ehm... you can use for example the free VLC player to play DVDs. | 16:35 |
| bobsomebody | see about getting a prepaid visa from a local bank | 16:35 |
| psygate | or just install the non canonical dvd software drivers? | 16:36 |
| bobsomebody | it will cost a small fee for the card itself, but works like a real credit card | 16:36 |
| psygate | so you can watch dvd movies. | 16:36 |
| Ileden | borreguito: you don't need to buy anything to watch dvds. | 16:36 |
| psygate | @borreguito: have a look at this -> https://help.ubuntu.com/7.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html | 16:37 |
| clearscreen | psygate: or could just install vlc and play pretty much anything :P | 16:37 |
| Pici | psygate: 7.04 is no longer supported, and that howto is probably out of date anyway | 16:38 |
| psygate | @clearscreen this would be the easy way, of course. | 16:38 |
| * psygate is not uptodate?! | 16:38 | |
| * psygate walks into a corner and cries. | 16:38 | |
| clearscreen | psygate: sudo aptitude install vlc .. real hard :P | 16:38 |

| psygate | clearscreen: I would have used the synaptic paket manager ^^ | 16:38 |
| psygate | Many people f. up with the terminal ^^ | 16:39 |

| Ileden | psygate: trying to keep delays in between | 16:40 |
| Ileden | psygate: should increase the delay, I guess. :) | 16:41 |
| thiebaude | Ileden, have you asked that question in the ubuntu forums? | 16:41 |
| richardtsai | Can anyone help me? | 16:41 |

| === psygate is now known as dhcp | ||
| Ileden | thiebaude: not yet. I'm still browsing through the documentation, trying to locate the problem myself at the same time. | 16:42 |
| gnychis | i have installed flashplugin-nonfree, but Firefox keeps using VLC/Totem to play flash... how can i change this? about:plugins does not list the adobe flash player at all | 16:43 |
| grawity | richardtsai: If nobody answers your question, that means nobody knows. There's no need to repeat the question | 16:43 |
| evident | can anybody tell me how i can remove the "Shiretoko" web browser and only have Firefox 3.5? Since the problem is too long to write here, I pasted it here: http://www.hpaste.org/fastcgi/hpaste.fcgi/view?id=9220#a9220 | 16:43 |
| dhcp | @evident: uninstall in synaptic? | 16:43 |
| evident | i'll try | 16:43 |
| grawity | Now that's one long pastebin URL... | 16:43 |
| grawity | evident: Try Ubuntuzilla. | 16:43 |
| Ileden | grawity: actually... don't the guidelines tell you to in fact keep repeating the question with a delay in between? | 16:43 |
| thiebaude | gnychis, are you using mediaplayer connectivity plugin in firefox? | 16:44 |
| grawity | Ileden: if they do, they'd sure choose a delay longer than 25 lines. | 16:44 |
| Ileden | grawity: should be a longer delay, for sure. (longer tahn mine too :) ) | 16:44 |
| gnychis | thiebaude: i'm not sure what that is | 16:44 |
| clearscreen | gnychis: you can try to manually install the plugin ... ~/.mozilla/firefox/plugins/ I believe, can grab the latest version from adobe website | 16:44 |
| thiebaude | ok, then your not using it | 16:44 |
| duffydack | evident, only another month and it`ll be default in 9.10 | 16:44 |
| thiebaude | duffydack, yep one more alpha and then a beta | 16:45 |
| evident | duffydack, and updating my system from 9.04 to 9.10 will automatically delete the old stuff and only have ff3.5 then? | 16:45 |
| richardtsai | OK. I got it then. Another question, can I just turn the function of which shows some one who has entered or leave this channel.. | 16:46 |
| grawity | richardtsai: Depends on your IRC client. | 16:46 |
| richardtsai | That's a lot of useless information that I don't need. | 16:46 |
| nirvette | HELP! I NEED TO REPAIR SOME PROBLEMS WITH DPKG..AND PROBLEMS WITH INSTALLING FLASH-PLUGIN FOR FIREFOX | 16:46 |
| MenZa | In Pidgin, richardtsai, I doubt it. | 16:46 |
| MenZa | !caps | nirvette | 16:46 |
| ubottu | nirvette: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. | 16:46 |
| richardtsai | I just newly installed Ubuntu 9.04. | 16:46 |
| dhcp | @nirvette no need to SHOUT | 16:46 |
| nirvette | sorry i'm just anxious | 16:46 |

| dhcp | CapsLock is not a cruise control for cool. | 16:46 |
| dhcp | *citing ED* | 16:47 |
| MenZa | nirvette: Care to elaborate? What problems with dpkg? | 16:47 |
| richardtsai | Is there any other IRC software I can use here? Or other software I can download | 16:47 |
| grawity | richardtsai: Try Xchat. | 16:47 |
| theatro | nirvette, post on pastebin the command and the output of the dpkg related problem | 16:47 |
| kazagistar | nirvette: what have you done so far? | 16:47 |
| dhcp | @richardtsay look for irc in synaptic manager | 16:47 |
| grawity | richardtsai: irssi is popular too, but it's terminal-based | 16:47 |
| duffydack | evident, yup.. but I dont go the upgrade way personally. | 16:47 |
| clearscreen | richardtsai: pidgin supports irc, you can try irssi too | 16:47 |
| evident | dhcp, when I want to delete it in synaptic, what should I delete? firefox-3.5, 3.0? or firefox-3.5-dbg, branding, dev? | 16:47 |
| MenZa | !best| richardtsai | 16:47 |
| ubottu | richardtsai: 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. | 16:47 |
| nirvette | ok: when i visited sites that required flash, they prompted me..but i didn't know only need to choose one out of three choices | 16:47 |
| richardtsai | thx | 16:47 |
| nirvette | so i clicked ok for GNOME | 16:47 |
| grawity | clearscreen: He's already using Pidgin - but it sucks for IRC. | 16:47 |
| nirvette | which screwed up | 16:47 |
| clearscreen | grawity: no it doesnt :P | 16:47 |
| nirvette | cos now i can't see anything on football streaming websites | 16:47 |
| dhcp | @evident: which firefox do you want to keep? | 16:48 |
| grawity | clearscreen: Compared to other clients, yes, it so does. (Well, maybe Opera is worse.) | 16:48 |
| clearscreen | grawity: in what way is it bad? it's great especially with irchelper (pidgin-plugin-pack) | 16:48 |
| kazagistar | I use pidgin, and it works fine | 16:48 |
| nirvette | then i tried to manually install flash..then a whole long chain of smth came up and told me there's some update problems apparently | 16:48 |
| nirvette | Can I paste the text here??? | 16:49 |
| kazagistar | no | 16:49 |

| === dyh is now known as roodyk | ||
| xikteny | matrix_: you could compress them, but probably not that much. | 16:50 |
| richardtsai | Sorry. I'm new here and I just transfer from Vista to ubuntu. | 16:50 |
| nirvette | Here's the text: http://paste.ubuntu.com/268014/ | 16:50 |
| MenZa | matrix_: Could try compacting them with bzip2, but I very doubt you could compress from 7GB to 2GB | 16:50 |
| richardtsai | And my English is not very good then. Sorry for anything offense. | 16:50 |
| dhcp | is there a better dvd-eraser than brasero? | 16:50 |
| clearscreen | nirvette: install those packages then | 16:51 |
| * dhcp has problems with god damn brasero -.- | 16:51 | |
| cornet | matrix_: what file types are they ? just text files or images ? | 16:51 |
| duffydack | dhcp, gnomebaker, k3b | 16:51 |
| matrix_ | .avi movie files | 16:51 |

| nirvette | but how do i install those packages? | 16:51 |
| RHorse | !irssi | richardtsai | 16:51 |
| ubottu | richardtsai: Irssi is a terminal based IRC client. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Irssi for help. See also !screen | 16:51 |
| clearscreen | nirvette: sudo aptitude install libcurl3 libnss3-dev libnspr4-dev ...... or you could just sudo aptitude flashplugin-nonfree | 16:51 |
| MenZa | yeason: Hardly a question suitable here. Try #java | 16:52 |
| Ileden | matrix_: well, you probably can't compress video files in any significant amount | 16:52 |
| cornet | matrix_: they probably won't compress then :( | 16:52 |
| yeason | MenZa: I started here cause I thought it was a package issue with ubuntu... the java part is fine | 16:52 |
| clearscreen | nirvette: sudo aptitude install flashplugin-nonfree .. sorry :) | 16:52 |
| Ileden | matrix_: however you could probably recode them to lower quality... | 16:52 |
| MenZa | yeason: That seems like a very odd error to have because of a packaging problem. | 16:52 |
| MenZa | Could it be a charset issue? | 16:53 |
| cornet | MenZa: for the record 4GB log files will compress down to < 200MB with gzip | 16:53 |
| nirvette | Ok, what do i do after this? http://paste.ubuntu.com/268017/ | 16:53 |
| MenZa | cornet: impressive. | 16:53 |
| yeason | MenZa: well thanks for the tip, i'll try in the java channel too... its an odd error all around | 16:53 |

| Techtronic | kowto fix this: E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) ? | 17:15 |
| nirvette | so am i missing anything? | 17:15 |
| nandu | fccf: ok, I will do that do from now | 17:15 |
| blackxored | installing vmware server, it installed right, but now on the remote console plugin, I can't install it since says isn't compatible with firefox 3.0.13, any clues? Any other method to access the virtual machine? thanks | 17:16 |
| codeshah | I just downloaded chkroot kit and it says 'ls' is infected | 17:17 |
| codeshah | how is this possible? | 17:17 |
| fccf | blackxored: consider ssh or telnet into console | 17:18 |
| blackxored | fccf, then I can't use the OS at all | 17:18 |
| nirvette | Ok: another problem: tested on youtube.com. can see visuals now. but no sound!! what is the problem? | 17:18 |
| terminhell | Just installed new sound theme. But not all the sounds work. I have audio with everything else. So whats the deal? | 17:19 |
| SingAlong | nirvette: turn on the sound or increase it. use the alsamixer to do that. | 17:19 |
| gnubie | MikeChelen; I believe ubuntu-restricted-extras will install java | 17:19 |
| blackxored | anyone? | 17:19 |
| SingAlong | nirvette: sound is usually low in ubuntu after install (atleast happens so for me). just type in alsamixer in the commandline and try changing the volume there | 17:20 |
| twoslice | terminhell: do you have all of the codecs installed? | 17:20 |
| nirvette | my sound is at its maximum | 17:20 |
| RHorse | nirvette put the latest libflashplayer.so in all your plugin dir's | 17:20 |
| nirvette | nothing | 17:20 |
| twoslice | quit | 17:20 |
| SingAlong | nirvette: dont change it in the volume properties in the top bar on the desktop. | 17:20 |
| MikeChelen | gnubie: did that already to install 64bit java | 17:20 |
| clearscreen | nirvette: are you sure it's not muted? (check for M's instead of O's in alsamixer) | 17:20 |
| SingAlong | nirvette: use the alsamixer | 17:20 |
| fccf | blackxored: personally I use Sun's xVM Virtualbox, and it works great... you might want to ask in #vmware | 17:20 |
| terminhell | twoslice yes | 17:21 |
| nirvette | RHorse: when you say put the libflashplayer.so, what do yo mean? how do i do that/ | 17:21 |
| blackxored | fcff, all right | 17:21 |
| SingAlong | nirvette: oh ya. also try what RHorse said. (but i doubt thats a problem. coz you have video working already) | 17:21 |
| clearscreen | nirvette: you're gonna want to turn up Master and PCM, and make sure they're not muted | 17:21 |
| SingAlong | nirvette: libflashplayer.so. drop that file in the firefox plugins dir | 17:21 |
| RHorse | well nirvette if you're problem is flash, not sound | 17:21 |
| SingAlong | RHorse: he says his video is working fine. just no sound. | 17:22 |
| terminhell | Twoslice, even the default ubuntu theme has the same problem. the window min/max/unmax wont play and a few others too | 17:22 |
| RHorse | the wrong kind of flash can cause that, SingAlong | 17:22 |
| SingAlong | RHorse: guess he's got a sound problem in the ubuntu sound config | 17:22 |
| SingAlong | RHorse: oh. didnt know that. | 17:22 |
| SingAlong | nirvette: which version is your ubuntu? also is it 64bit or 32bit? | 17:22 |
| nirvette | hmmm i donno | 17:23 |

| WishingMaster | IndyGunFreak, my font size has gone to 0 | 17:57 |
| WishingMaster | intel onboard | 17:58 |
| IndyGunFreak | WishingMaster: that doesn't necessarily mean its a graphics driver problem.. | 17:58 |
| fccf | nirvette: follow the instructions after that command sudo m-a update ... prepare ... a-i alsa reboot | 17:58 |
| IndyGunFreak | WishingMaster: how did you install the driver? | 17:58 |
| WishingMaster | IndyGunFreak, the moment i installed and restarted the sys | 17:58 |
| nirvette | fccf: hmm i don't get you | 17:58 |
| WishingMaster | through repositories | 17:58 |
| IndyGunFreak | WishingMaster: wel then just go back to the repos and uninstall them. | 17:59 |
| WishingMaster | IndyGunFreak, but i don't know which ones to uninstall | 17:59 |
| killazzz | hi | 17:59 |
| fccf | nirvette: you installed the module assistant .. which is in the instructions ... you need to do the rest of the commands | 17:59 |
| IndyGunFreak | which one did you install? | 17:59 |
| BRebey | >> Jaunty/9.04 hangs at "Configuring Network Interfaces..." on boot. I installed a new driver from RealTek for their RTL8187L chip, and now I get the hang. Anyone know what I can do to get around this, short of re-imaging my PC? | 17:59 |
| ratapoil | how can I open a .uif archive? | 18:00 |
| WishingMaster | IndyGunFreak, what would be the command to reset my drivers | 18:00 |
| fccf | nirvette: did you Edit /etc/modules and add the line “snd-hda-intel model=auto” | 18:00 |
| === OkropNick^ is now known as Okrop | ||
| nirvette | no i didn't | 18:00 |
| === Okrop is now known as OkropNick | ||
| * IndyGunFreak sighs... | 18:01 | |
| fccf | nirvette: follow directions | 18:01 |
| === exodus is now known as NeT_DeMoN | ||
| nirvette | so i just copy and paste which lines after the module assistant donno what is installed? | 18:01 |
| WishingMaster | well is there any way for system restore in ubuntu | 18:01 |
| ra21vi | uhh, no one is replying on my problem | 18:01 |
| ra21vi | good | 18:01 |
| acr0nym | Hello I seem to have a problem with apt-get after a failed install of liferea | 18:02 |
| acr0nym | http://paste2.org/p/419945 | 18:02 |
| acr0nym | tried everything.. nothing works | 18:02 |
| ra21vi | ok.. no answer here to my problem.. I think I am not one with Intrepid problem with Network Manager. :) thanks for listening to my issues. | 18:02 |
| fccf | nirvette: those are commands after module assistant (m-a) is installed .. you are running each of those once and rebooting ... edit /etc/modules first as root | 18:02 |
| Ileden | Is it possible to set up LVM partition on a SD card? I cannot seem to manage it, when I try to use pvcreate I only get an error that device isn't found, or is ingored by the filters. I checked my filters but they seem ok... how do I debug this? | 18:02 |

| SanityInAnarchy | Is there a way to configure NetworkManager to use another DHCP client? | 18:02 |
| error404notfound | anyone know of a nice pure commandline antivirus | 18:03 |
| nirvette | oh gosh, i really donno how to do this | 18:03 |
| regeya | Ileden: I wouldn't see why not. You could partition the SD card, set up the new partition as you would a hard drive partition | 18:03 |
| regeya | never tried it myself tho | 18:03 |
| fccf | nirvette: I didn't when I started .. perhaps a little reading for you - consider it homework before coming back here www.ubuntupocketguide.com | 18:03 |
| earthling | SanityInAnarchy, use virtual interface to do that | 18:03 |
| regeya | Ileden: the only trick would be that you'd have to run vgchange -a y when you plugged in the sd card; other than that, I wouldn't see any problem with that | 18:04 |
| earthling | SanityInAnarchy, eth0:forDhcp | 18:04 |
| Ileden | regeya: I currently have one partition, type set as Linux LVM on it. | 18:04 |

| SingAlong | is there a way to disable the boot menu in ubuntu? (i have windows too. which i dont want anyone to know) | 18:04 |
| kickAss | hi all | 18:04 |
| regeya | Ileden: have you looked at the LVM HOWTO? It's very thorough | 18:04 |
| fccf | WishingMaster: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg .... then restart X | 18:04 |
| nirvette | fccf: thanks. but isn't there anything i can do to get the sound back for now? | 18:04 |
| Ileden | regeya: I tried the vgchange too, but it didn't do anything. | 18:04 |
| SanityInAnarchy | earthling: Ok, not sure how that helps with NetworkManager, though. | 18:05 |
| Ileden | regeya: I've been trying to wade through that. it's indeed thorough :) | 18:05 |
| killazzz | sing along you are talkin about grub boot loader ? | 18:05 |
| regeya | Ileden: Let me see if I understand you right, though. Did you partition it, set it as LVM in fdisk (or whatever you used) and that's it? If so, you're not even close yet :-> | 18:05 |
| * regeya looks forward to the day when lvm isn't necessary | 18:05 | |
| Ileden | regeya: um... yes. | 18:05 |
| fccf | nirvette: until you can understand everything in the eeepc/fixes no... we arn't going to hold your hand ... perhaps Xandros might be a better OS for you | 18:05 |
| SanityInAnarchy | earthling: ... are you saying I'd define that in /etc/network/interfaces? | 18:06 |
| fccf | nirvette: xandros was made for the EEEpc | 18:06 |
| yasser | hi | 18:06 |
| acr0nym | nirvette you can also try eeebuntu might save you some headaches | 18:06 |
| bin1010 | I need help printing to a RICOH 3035 in CUPS, I found two drivers, but I can't get it to print with staples, any ideas? | 18:06 |
| nirvette | fccf: thanks. oh well, maybe i should just try to recover my lost partition and go back to windows | 18:06 |
| earthling | SanityInAnarchy, on adding that from command prompt is that not showing up in the list of interfaces in the network manager? | 18:07 |
| fccf | nirvette: you arn't going to get windows back without reinstalling, sorry , ubuntu wiped everything .. if there were a physical harddrive maybe .. but as it is SSD, it's gone | 18:07 |
| De-Mentor | HELP I restarted my computer and now when it boots into GNOME i cant see text | 18:07 |
| Ileden | regeya: isn't registering the partition as physical volume the next step after fdisk? | 18:07 |
| SanityInAnarchy | earthling: Adding from command prompt, how? And again, how does this help my problem? I don't need another virtual interface. I want to use udhcpc with the one I've got, instead of dhclient. | 18:08 |
| Ileden | regeya: I've been using instructions from this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpLVM-WithoutACleanInstall | 18:08 |
| tempuser1 | vigo: ok, from my understanding, the default is in /var/log/Xorg.0.log then? the 'built-in configuration' part? | 18:08 |

| De-Mentor | Menu's and application dont show text and some of them show under scores | 18:10 |
| fccf | Flare-Laptop: nirvette is in over her head ... She should either reinstall windows (provided she has the disk, and a USBCDROM to plug in), or load eeebuntu or xandros on the machine.... She'll have better luck, | 18:10 |
| SanityInAnarchy | Eh, I guess I can live without NetworkManager. The real problem I'm having is "iwconfig wlan0 essid foo" is working in some places, and not others. 'foo' shows up in iwlist, and setting manually with 'iwconfig wlan0 ap 11:22:33...' works. | 18:10 |
| SanityInAnarchy | I'm really not looking forward to writing a script to parse the output of iwlist in order to run iwconfig. | 18:11 |

| syrius | fccf, ^ | 18:28 |
| syrius | I think this compile is going to take a while | 18:28 |

| pranav | fccf, I have killed all those process using /mnt by watching "lsof" but still it says device is busy when I try to umount ? | 18:28 |
| xmnt | VickiWong, sounds like you've got some issues ... have you considered reloading ubuntu since this is a new install? | 18:29 |
| pradeep | MarderIII: i did not get the name | 18:29 |
| xmnt | VickiWong, you can run fdisk or get ubcd to look at the hd ... possible a bad HD | 18:29 |
| VickiWong | xmnt, I had this similar issue before on my last install of ubuntu, so i formated and reinstalled ubuntu, couple of days later and now im back here | 18:29 |
| VickiWong | xmnt, so boot into the liveusb and run some HDD checks? | 18:30 |
| bucky | pradeep see if you have nmblookup.samba4 | 18:30 |
| pranav | I have killed all those process using /mnt by watching "lsof" but still it says device is busy when I try to umount ? | 18:30 |
| xmnt | VickiWong, I would def. look at the HD as the issue first - not that these things can't happen accidentally but yeah I would get a copy of ubcd and check the hd first | 18:30 |

| linxeh | nandu: I have no idea. | 18:51 |
| genii | nandu: grub needs to be installed ONLY onto main ..eg sda and NOT sda1 or you scrfew up whatever partition info used to be there | 18:51 |
| fccf | Tomasz: does sudo do-release-upgrade work? | 18:52 |
| linxeh | nandu: I suspect whatever you do can be recovered | 18:52 |

| Pici | ionut_: no, the -d argument says to upgrade to the latest development release, which is Karmic at this time. | 18:54 |
| nandu | genii, linxeh : THe 1st is very short, I suppose its HPFS/NTFS and * boot | 18:54 |
| genii | nandu: You want to run fdisk interactively on /dev/sda and then change the type of sda1 into the correct one which is like 6 for NTFS. | 18:54 |
| fccf | Tomasz: run apt-get update first | 18:54 |
| robysath | Is group 'adm' in /etc/group short for 'admin' group? | 18:54 |

| dumnut | hi IdleOne, cool, you guys are smart | 18:57 |
| MarderIII | TurboLinux: there are several other programs like that. They set the sound channels. | 18:57 |
| De-Mentor | I have ubuntu 9.04 with Intel Video Chipset and for some reason when i started my computer today it dosent show Text at all | 18:58 |
| Turbolinux | Yes, I tried the sound control management program and volume level can be changed. Speakers aren't on mute mode. | 18:58 |
| fccf | !intel | De-Mentor | 18:58 |

| Turbolinux | Can you recommend a program about your last said? | 18:59 |
| genii | nandu: Since you said sda1 was it, put 1 | 19:00 |
| Q| | Turbolinux, are you running 9.10 Jaunty or a prior version? | 19:00 |
| nandu | genii: My previous Windows was in sda1 which after installing grub , I suppose have divided into sda1 and sda2, so which do I choose ? | 19:00 |

| MarderIII | Turbolinux: alsamixer is more ah... curses/screen based | 19:01 |
| genii | nandu: Did you run fdisk with: sudo fdisk /dev/sda or just: fdisk /dev/sda ? Without sudo won't take | 19:01 |
| Pici | Welshy-Rob: Are you getting an error? What are you trying to run? | 19:01 |
| Q| | Turbolinux, umh, you should be running on PulseAudio then. Maybe you could try to install pavucontrol, open it and look if the volume is not set so low that you can't hear it. Happened to me just yesterday. | 19:01 |
| MarderIII | Turbolinux: aumix from a command prompt. | 19:02 |

| vasser | is it possible to listen to a sound input device ? (say, microphone) | 19:05 |

| nandu | genii: sda1 is HPFS/NTFS and sda2 is W95 Ext'd (LBA), there's no Acorn ? | 19:06 |
| nidelius | vasser: terminal -> alsamixer then tab to capture tab | 19:06 |
| johnnydeep | sub[t]rnl: should I use kernel framebuffer defice interface? | 19:06 |
| genii | nandu: So then it looks like you didn't install grub to sda1 or sda2 since they have their original types | 19:07 |
| genii | nandu: The types for the other ones there should be 82 and 83, yes? | 19:08 |
| vin | im starting to feel Ubuntu woowoo | 19:08 |

| nandu | genii: Yes | 19:09 |
| vin | so how is everyone today | 19:09 |
| xmnt | VickiWong, you should have a dropdown box close to the upper left that lets you select the drive | 19:09 |

| vasser | Like: any idea ? | 19:22 |
| Like | i dont know the manufacturer vasser | 19:22 |
| VickiWong | Guest25685, the other OS should have an installation CD/DVD which will take care of it | 19:22 |
| pradeep_ | vasser: its installed by default na | 19:23 |
| VickiWong | Guest25685, unless you need to keep any data/documents? | 19:23 |

| johnnydeep | i enter my root password and then there comes another empty command line | 19:24 |

| vasser | pradeep_: it is not enough, you need to have a telnet server installed on the windows machine | 19:24 |
| fccf | eni: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade will install the latest ... then reboot | 19:24 |
| vasser | like: ok, and given the correct values, it will "just work" ? | 19:24 |

| vasser | pradeep_: if you are on the same network, it is as simple as running "telnet" on the linux machine, and entering the address of the windows one | 19:25 |

| Guest3261 | so i must put a boot xp into a usb? | 19:36 |
| Guest3261 | because i just went there and they told me so, i gotta get it out | 19:37 |
| Pici | Tenoch: I was under the impression that you could only install the cli system from either the minimal or server CDs | 19:37 |
| VickiWong | Guest3261, if thats the OS you wish to use, make a bootable XP USB stick | 19:37 |
| VickiWong | Guest3261, or use an external CD drive | 19:38 |
| fccf | Pici: if there is already 2-3 gigs cached to swap, which in some sitiuations is possible, and you write the ram to swap, you'll need more than that | 19:38 |
| PC-Ente | abend | 19:38 |
| VickiWong | Guest3261, if you installed ubuntu onto the machine then you must know this | 19:38 |
| Guest3261 | is it the bootable xp usb i need or the recovery xp | 19:38 |
| Pici | fccf: I suppose... but 8gb of swap on a server is overkill, no server should have to hibernate. | 19:38 |

| Tenoch | Pici: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LowMemorySystems says that alternate should have what i need, and that server is not the same | 19:41 |
| {g} | duffydack: why? | 19:41 |
| adac | fccf, I get No such device | 19:41 |
| Pici | Tenoch: If you intend to put xorg on the computer use the minimal CD, otherwise the server iso. The server install uses a different kernel that does not have support for most proprietary video cards. | 19:41 |
| VickiWong | {g}, I use dust | 19:42 |
| duffydack | {g}, same reason I go for redheads more than blondes. | 19:42 |

| gandhi | gnome colors are my favorite themes | 19:42 |
| gandhi | the shiki colors themes look pretty nice | 19:43 |
| Pici | Tenoch: Thats because the LiveCD loads the desktop into the system's ram, which wouldnt be possible on computers with specifications that low. They're describing the install process are command line, it still installs the GUI version of Ubuntu in the end. | 19:43 |

| andcor | Watchitnow: I think windows 7 are using the same loader as windows vista, which is why it is detected that way | 19:56 |
| Watchitnow | But the install disk isn't detecting the NTFS partition Win7 is on. | 19:56 |
| andcor | I have installed windows 7 and ubuntu side by side and it works just fine | 19:57 |

| ezegys | ikonia: It's bcoz when I do "sudo update-grub" it reads some file like /boot/grub/core.img and creates links to this old grub into menu.1st | 20:18 |
| losher | VickiWong: I *think* it means the disk stops responding & has to be sent a reset. This could be a disk issue, or possibly the motherboard controller. The DOS tool should be bootable i.e. it doesn't rely on the operating system... | 20:18 |
| andcor | WatchItNow: and then after you have resized the ntfs partition to make room for linux you should choose to setup the partitions manually, and then you should ensure that you have around 1-2 GB of swap disk and the rest mounted as / | 20:18 |

| CatEater | ok, so there's at least one person who can run ununtu on vbox on windows | 20:49 |
| darkonc | If innociv ran the rm -rf as non-root (s)he shouldn't need to recreate /tmp. If tmp needs to be recreated then you also need to 'sudo chmod 1777 /tmp' That makes it writable all, and sticky (so you can't remove a different usr's files) | 20:49 |

| OT_irssi | Hi... | 21:16 |
| anli_ | I get a lot of 404:s when I try apt-get update | 21:16 |
| GuidMorrow | ok, once I have firestarter installed, how do I load it | 21:16 |
| anli_ | and also when trying apt-get --fix-missing update | 21:16 |
| Flannel | anli_: What version of Ubuntu are you using? | 21:16 |
| fccf | anli_: what version of ubuntu are you running? | 21:16 |
| anli_ | its a 2.6.22-16 kernel | 21:17 |
| anli_ | hm | 21:17 |
| Flannel | anli_: lsb_release -a | 21:17 |
| psygate | @GuidMorrow Its in the applications menu. | 21:17 |
| anli_ | ah, 7.10 | 21:17 |
| lstarnes | anli_: 7.10 is no longer supported | 21:17 |
| lstarnes | anli_: you should probably upgrade to 8.04 | 21:17 |
| Flannel | anli_: 7.10 isn't supported anymore, so the repos have been taken offline. You should upgrade to 8.04 (which is still supporting, being LTS) | 21:17 |
| anli_ | Can I upgrade apt so it uses the newer packages? | 21:18 |
| lstarnes | anli_: no | 21:18 |
| Flannel | anli_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardyUpgrades | 21:18 |
| lstarnes | anli_: you must upgrade to a newer version of ubuntu | 21:18 |
| anli_ | but reinstalling the system is not an option | 21:18 |
| anli_ | hm | 21:18 |
| anli_ | ok | 21:18 |
| lstarnes | anli_: you don't need to reinstall | 21:19 |
| anli_ | aha | 21:19 |
| lstarnes | anli_: there is a procedure for upgrading in place | 21:19 |
| anli_ | aha | 21:19 |
| anli_ | hm, I have to reboot the system then | 21:19 |
| psygate | @anli_ new kernel requires always a reboot. | 21:20 |
| anli_ | hm | 21:20 |
| nikihr | ... | 21:20 |
| anli_ | it would be cool if two kernels could run side by side | 21:20 |
| psygate | @anli_ VirtualMachine? | 21:20 |
| anli_ | yes, but on the same system | 21:21 |
| anli_ | in the same virtual space | 21:21 |
| fccf | anli_: change every instance of archive.ubuntu.com to old-releases.ubuntu.com in /etc/apt/sources.list and apt-get update .. then apt-get do-release-upgrade ... you will be up to Hardy 8.04 LTS | 21:21 |
| anli_ | fccf: thats cool | 21:21 |
| psygate | @anli_ upgrade to jaunty jack? | 21:21 |
| Hydrid | do i need to forward anyother port except 21 for TLS/SSL/FTPS ? | 21:22 |
| fccf | psygate: anli_ cannot do that until they have done what I have said | 21:22 |

| pete0815 | Solar_Flare: i use the normal ubuntu iso and plug in an usb-device additionally during the installation (the usb stick has to be prepared before the installation) right? | 21:30 |
| kimec | is this a bug? | 21:30 |
| lstarnes | axisys: it must be installed separately | 21:30 |
| kimec | is it seahorse related? | 21:30 |
| Solar_Flare | @pete0815 download the ubuntu iso, use the ubuntu "Usb-Dongle system creator" and set about 512mb as userspace. | 21:30 |
| anli_ | fccf: archive.canonical.com then? | 21:31 |

| Solar_Flare | fearthenofear: iptables masquerade? | 22:09 |
| fearthenofear | me no hablo espanol | 22:09 |
| Solar_Flare | fearthenofear: i meant iptables has a function called "masquerade" read it up. | 22:09 |
| fccf | arber4444: you need to install hostapd to get your hardware to talk correctly | 22:09 |
| losher | konryd: well, you can use apt-get install -y <package> which will assume a "yes" answer to every question, but some configurations will go wrong if you do that, and not all questions can be answered with a simple yes, so in general there's no complete solution to this issue. Which package(s) btw? | 22:10 |
| fearthenofear | lol | 22:10 |
| axisys | is there a ruby enterprise pkg available? apt-cache search ruby | grep -i enter did not find any | 22:10 |
| DjZemich | guntbert: Thanks for the help, got a new image in 10 minutes :) | 22:10 |
| Solar_Flare | fearthenofear: You could use that for passing through the traffic of your xbox, so that it looks like your computer was a router. | 22:10 |

| guntbert | DjZemich: nice - spread the word about md5sum :-) | 22:10 |
| konryd | losher: mysql-server, the "-y" option skips mainly "do you whish to download ...." questions | 22:11 |
| fearthenofear | Solar_Flare: Ok, thank you. | 22:11 |
| losher | konryd: so is that a solution for you, or not? | 22:11 |
| arber4444 | Where can i get | 22:12 |
| arber4444 | hostapd | 22:12 |
| konryd | losher: not really. I'm trying to find a way of temporarily setting debconf priority treshold to critical | 22:12 |
| arber4444 | fccf: where can i get hostapd | 22:12 |
| fccf | arber4444: what version of ubuntu? | 22:13 |

| unr3a1 | you know what... | 23:16 |
| Casandrax | losher: I think it was. | 23:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Waseem: the kernel is what makes ubuntu, linux. the kernel IS linux, the stuff around it is the distribution | 23:17 |
| unr3a1 | I think it has something to do with what losher pointed to... dhcp3 | 23:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Waseem: mandriva uses the same linux kernel, just has different apps around it | 23:17 |
| Casandrax | ActionParsnip: glibc and gcc etc etc is equally important. | 23:17 |
| Waseem | i see, i dont quite understand but hopefully i will eventually. | 23:17 |
| BlackDalek | My rhythmbox lyrics plugin seems to be broken.. Also, I've noticed the "jump to playing song" option has also been greyed out. | 23:18 |

| losher | Casandrax: funny how he seems to disappear whenever you ask for details... | 23:18 |
| unr3a1 | thats it..... | 23:18 |
| osotogari | unr3a1: try this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=372420 | 23:18 |
| unr3a1 | osotogari, losher, its the dhclient.conf file in /etc/dhcp3 | 23:18 |
| GuidMorrow | personally nobody should be asking for details unless ... | 23:18 |
| ctmjr | mgv1: and what ubuntu are you using | 23:19 |
| GuidMorrow | YOU'RE A SPAMMER! | 23:19 |
| unr3a1 | osotogari, losher, now i remember. you change the settings in that to pull the DHCP server for certain information, but then generate its own for other settings such as DNS, and local loopback. | 23:19 |
| losher | GuidMorrow: let's just be careful who's calling whom a spammer, ok? | 23:19 |
| Casandrax | losher: they are unable, they are different those softers. not utilizing their brains. | 23:19 |

| jiffe | is it possible to upgrade 8.04 to 9.04? | 23:20 |
| losher | unr3a1: there's a supersede option you can use in dhclient.conf, presumably it will override the dns setting... | 23:20 |
| unr3a1 | osotogari, losher, thats awesome. now I dont have to worry about www.search.net anymore... YAY | 23:20 |
| unr3a1 | losher, yea, I just need to copy the dhclient.conf file from my old ubuntu filesystem | 23:20 |

| Strife89 | Hello all, I have a serious problem. On occasion, when I put Ubuntu into Suspend mode on my Toshiba Satellite L305D-S5097, the laptop refuses to fully come out of Suspend. The CD drive and the fans spin up, but that's it. The screen and the hard drives show no activity, and I have to resort to hard resetting my laptop. | 23:24 |

| rubyiris | I'm having problems installing, or even just using the trial version of ubuntu from an iso i created. I'm using the most current desktop version of ubuntu on a laptop, which some aquaintences of mine haven't had any problems with. | 23:24 |
| ActionParsnip | fbc-mx: press alt+f2 and use that | 23:24 |
| unr3a1 | losher, osotogari, http://pastebin.com/m4a77995e | 23:24 |
| assumedalive | Strife89: probably a kernel bug, better report it to the kernel devs | 23:24 |
| fbc-mx | ActionParsnip, ahh that easy huh | 23:25 |
| VCoolio | fbc-mx: nautilus & to run in background | 23:25 |
| Strife89 | Here is the issue at hand: the Suspend problem has happened again, but this time, the same symptoms occur when I try to boot my laptop. | 23:25 |
| rubyiris | i get to where it asks me what language to use, and what option to select | 23:25 |
| losher | jiffe: on a server, I would stick to 8.04 LTS. It's supported which means it still gets security fixes etc. but no new features. This makes is very stable & reliable, just what you want on a server. Upgrading for no reason is pointless... | 23:25 |

| ActionParsnip | Themi: its a terminal command | 23:26 |
| ActionParsnip | !terminal | Themi | 23:26 |

| assumedalive | Strife89: if it does that after a cold boot that's definitely a hardware issue and nothing to do with ubuntu | 23:26 |
| unr3a1 | losher, osotogari, then the subsequent lines request all the info that is listed from the DHCP server and only that info. so my DNS server is always set to OpenDNS and my domain name is always home.net. | 23:26 |
| osotogari | @ unr3a1: thanks for that | 23:26 |
| Themi | I have the terminal open | 23:26 |

| RJARRRPCGP | I followed the instructions on this web page: | 23:46 |
| RJARRRPCGP | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenSound | 23:46 |
| younder | erUSUL: it correctly gets the files newer than 14 days ago | 23:46 |
| losher | dreamborn: if you select manual partitioning, you should be able to tell it to use the same swap partition and the same /home partition as for ubuntu. The only new partition you'll need is a new root partition. Make sure you know the names of your partitions in Ubuntu before you start. If you install to the wrong partition, you can lose all your data... | 23:47 |

| archman | ok, tnx guys :) | 23:48 |
| younder | erUSUL: it still does not want to create a empty archive. Guess it doesn't like pipes anymore.. | 23:49 |
| ctmjr | Waseem: if it's in the repo apt-get install if not find a good kernel compiling guide and study it | 23:49 |

| erUSUL | younder: hat's to instruct tar to use the filenames given in stdin by the find command | 23:51 |
| losher | erUSUL: younder: no point running find over and over again while you experiment. Do find / -xdev -mtime 14 > files | 23:51 |
| ActionParsnip | gartral: if its already set to alt+tab, then set it to something else, then back to alt+tab | 23:51 |
