| RJARRRPCGP | But, I never done this before. | 00:07 |
| biovore | RJARRRPCGP: that sound device is sorta lame. If you have a program tring to do OSS with it.. your only going to get one PCM stream at a time.. (No hardware mixing) .. To get multipule sound streams your application needs to use alsa dmix or pulse. | 00:07 |

| dORSY | hi. how do i get my networkmanager back to see my interfaces (eth0 and pppoe) | 00:37 |
| redes_ | Pici, sorry i had a problem.. :S | 00:37 |
| jennistin | losher: I don't think the issue is with the server, even though I have not debugged sshd yet. When I watch the packets, the client stops responding, and the server continues to retransmit.' | 00:37 |
| === john is now known as Guest38601 | ||
| === anthony is now known as G-man | ||
| jennistin | losher: Putty only has an event log, nothing detailed. | 00:38 |
| G-man | wow man | 00:38 |
| G-man | this is driving me nuts | 00:38 |
| Guest38601 | i tryed to install WampServer2.0i.exe and it wont let me | 00:38 |
| ctmjr_ | G-man: ok try this sudo nvidia-xconfig see what it says | 00:39 |
| jennistin | losher: Netstat shows the connection as established, and WinXP drops it before the server does. Then the server sends a FIN packet | 00:39 |
| pvvni | Anyone know if watch can display color as well? | 00:39 |
| redes_ | Pici, yeah i have it over there, but when i wanna run it ... It says that cannot access config file... | 00:39 |
| pvvni | Or if there's a patch that allows it | 00:39 |

| losher | jennistin: I don't see much in google offhand. This has got to be a common combination. Check the putty options e.g. ssh protocol version etc... | 00:40 |
| dORSY | hi. how do i get my networkmanager back to see my interfaces (eth0 and pppoe) | 00:40 |
| jennistin | losher: Yeah, I think I've exhausted Google as well. Putty works fine from other WinXP systems with this server. The client with difficulty is behind my employer's firewall | 00:41 |

| ubottu | Guest38601, please see my private message | 00:43 |
| losher | jennistin: obviously something different about this particular putty client then. Firewall shouldn't be an issue, as they obviously make initial contact. It's pretty hard to escape the conclusion that something in this particular client's settings is wrong... | 00:43 |

| knasto | HELP, how to I switch the function of my volume control buttons on my keyboard. I did something in volume control. How do I undo that to set it back to normal? | 00:44 |
| losher | jennistin: same version of client? | 00:44 |
| grumete | oh great, now we have foundametalism in linux distros | 00:45 |
| emma | archman, well ubuntu is for people who are new to linux, and also for people who very experienced with linux. You might be some kind of arch linux user though. lol. | 00:45 |
| jennistin | losher: Yes | 00:45 |
| archman | emma, i wouldn't | 00:45 |
| losher | grumete: you found metal in your distro? | 00:45 |
| pvvni | archman: arch ftw! | 00:45 |
| floryn90 | hi | 00:45 |
| pvvni | emma: arch = awesome. | 00:45 |
| grumete | yes, it's called gold, I think it worths something losher. | 00:45 |
| jennistin | losher: This client also works for other servers, just not this particular one | 00:45 |
| floryn90 | whow can i control my psp on linux? | 00:45 |
| smogattack | I installed the windows 7 beta and then I restored grub. Now I can boot into Ubuntu, but can't see or boot into windows 7. | 00:45 |

| andyzammy | hello everybody, i'm trying to copy a dvd to HD, but instead of the ~7Gb it "completes" with a 39Mb .iso. what's going wrong with the copy? | 00:46 |
| pvvni | smogattack: what's your /boot/grub/menu.list say | 00:46 |
| floryn90 | for me no | 00:46 |
| archman | floryn90, it's a normal thing :D | 00:46 |
| smogattack | pvvni, it doesn't list anything windows 7 | 00:46 |
| pvvni | smogattack: add an entry for it then | 00:47 |
| jennistin | andyzammy: Do you have dvdlib installed? | 00:47 |
| smogattack | pvvni, it's just ubuntu and the 'old' windows xp | 00:47 |
| knasto | xikteny, thank you so much. Ive been spending hours trying to fix this on volume control messing with the diffrent 30 sliders. | 00:47 |
| smogattack | pvvni, how can I do that? | 00:47 |
| pvvni | smogattack: Just modify the 'old' windows xp one to point to the windows 7 partition | 00:47 |
| losher | jennistin: so to recap: the client works with other servers, the server works with other clients. Just not with each other, but they do swap packets initially? | 00:47 |
| xikteny | knasto: NP, did that work for you? | 00:47 |
| pvvni | smogattack: pastie what it has right now | 00:48 |
| floryn90 | archman, your psp version? | 00:48 |
| smogattack | pvvni, okay, hang on | 00:48 |
| andyzammy | Jennistin: if that's the one that lets you play dvds, then yes i do. have watched several dvds from disk and from iso. what's weired is that one dvd copied fine, and i struggled with two others | 00:48 |
| knasto | xikteny, yes it works perfectly (i was looking at the volume control applet on my panel instead of sound) | 00:48 |
| jennistin | losher: Correct, they establish a connection and then the client stops responding and Putty times out | 00:49 |

| andyzammy | the gnome "right click copy disk to iso" thingy :P | 00:50 |
| jennistin | Lunatic: It depends on what chat services you want to use, but Gnome's gossip and PSI are good | 00:50 |
| Lunatic | I'm just going to be using it for the most common ones, MSN, Yahoo, AIM. | 00:50 |
| pvvni | smogattack: the win7 install is on the same drive the xp one was on right | 00:51 |
| jennistin | Lunatic: I think Gossip supports all of those, but it may be in beta | 00:51 |
| smogattack | pvvni, yeah, same drive as XP | 00:51 |
| Lunatic | whats PSI? | 00:51 |
| jennistin | Lunatic: Its a jabber app. like Pidgin, Google PSI Jabber | 00:51 |
| pvvni | smogattack: k, what probably happened, is when you installed win7 it created a new partition (windows 7 adds a partition similar to linux's swap) | 00:52 |
| pvvni | smogattack: that partition took over the sda1 mount where xp used to be | 00:52 |
| Lunatic | is there one not tied to GTK+ and QT? | 00:52 |
| losher | jennistin: Anything you've not told me? What kind of authentication is it? Where in the exchange does the client stop responding? I think you're going to have to run debug on the server to get any further... | 00:52 |
| jennistin | Lunatic: PSI not GTK or QT | 00:52 |
| xikteny | !info psi | 00:52 |

| smogattack | pvvni, I was just going to ask that. lol | 00:53 |
| Lunatic | oh, your right, I was looking at the wrong thing. awesome | 00:53 |
| smogattack | pvvni, should i double check with partition editor? | 00:53 |
| pvvni | smogattack: sure, open a terminal and type parted | 00:53 |
| pvvni | er | 00:53 |
| pvvni | sudo parted | 00:53 |
| jennistin | losher: It is password authentication. I can send you the packet log if you want to see where it stops responding. I think I'm going to have to run debug too since I have no other options. | 00:54 |
| pvvni | smogattack: use /dev/sda | 00:54 |
| pvvni | smogattack: p | 00:54 |
| losher | jennistin: I'd be willing to look at a packet log if want to pastebin it. No promises though... | 00:54 |
| jennistin | Lunatic: apparently PSI does use QT... nevermind, I use it on Windows | 00:54 |
| pvvni | smogattack: quit | 00:55 |

| pvvni | smogattack: so it doesnt do anything | 01:01 |
| pvvni | smogattack: did you upgrade to 7 from xp? | 01:02 |
| jennistin | andyzammy: I have no idea for the USB jumping to read-only, but what are you using to grab the ISO's? | 01:02 |

| rww | andyzammy: for the DVD copy problem, are you just copying them to the hard disk, or do you eventually want to burn the back to DVD? | 01:03 |
| losher | jennistin: Oh, I was expecting a lower level trace with SYN/ACK etc. if I read this trace right, the client sends a SYN (presumably) to the server, the server responds with an ACK, and that's the last thing that happens. I'm not even sure the client sees the ACK. Can the server even talk to the client through the firewall? | 01:03 |

| Waseem | awesome. Finally got around to fixing my problem, turns out i had 8.10 when ubuntu was working right. | 01:04 |
| Waseem | so thanks to all those that helped. | 01:04 |
| losher | andyzammy: newer commercial dvds have all sorts of ridiculous copy prevention hacks. The only sure-fire method of copying is to use windows AnyDVD which doesn't run on wine... | 01:05 |
| rww | andyzammy: I'd strongly recommend the dvdbackup package/program, then. In combination with libdvdcss (I can link you instructions for getting that if you don't have them) it works perfect for me :) | 01:05 |
| jennistin | losher: Sorry I only sent you the tail of it. The server does send the server version which the client receives | 01:05 |

| andyzammy | jennistin: no i haven't. tbh i just wanted to do this using current method. is there no workaround? i guess if not i'll try some other proggies but i thought that since it came "out of the box" it would just work | 01:05 |
| Waseem | skapism_, I agree. when it works its the best. | 01:05 |

| meoblast001 | UBuntuNewbie: and sure | 01:19 |
| Pici | godmodegrafix: Oh. Well you said you updated to 9.04. Does Ubuntu crash while you are installing updates or is it on the next reboot that you boot to a tty? | 01:19 |
| === jay is now known as Guest42699 | ||

| maximenko_ | losh how can i login into lost and found? | 01:19 |
| rww | andyzammy: odd, that looks fine. Is it an internal drive, or a swappable SD card or something? | 01:20 |
| rww | maximenko_: lost and found generally isn't a user =/ | 01:20 |
| godmodegrafix | Pici: and then when i reboot my laptop, i try boot the linux kernel and it leaves my in tty | 01:20 |
| maximenko_ | rww :( | 01:20 |

| mib_mib | Hi all - I am a newb - i enabled and created a 'key' so that only I can ssh to my server, however, now I want to disable that - how do I disable it so that I can simply type ssh <my IP> <port> | 01:21 |
| maximenko_ | losh too get the files | 01:21 |
| maximenko_ | on that thing | 01:21 |
| rww | maximenko_: if you're seeing a "lost+found" folder on your home partition, that's a directory created on all ext partitions to store broken files. It's not a user you can log into... | 01:21 |
| losher | maximenko_: are you saying you lost some files? | 01:21 |
| maximenko_ | yep | 01:21 |
| GuidMorrow | how do you flush the dns cache on ubuntu | 01:22 |
| rww | maximenko_: is there another language you're more comfortable speaking? There are country-specific rooms that might be able to help better... | 01:22 |
| maximenko_ | norwegian | 01:22 |
| rww | !no | maximenko_ | 01:22 |

| ubottu | maximenko_: Hvis du vil diskutere på Norsk, vennligst gå til #ubuntu-no. Takk! | 01:22 |
| Pici | godmodegrafix: Have you noticed that it crashed during a particular package? or is it random? | 01:22 |

| bigdavejoker | I can't get Leo XML editor to run I keep getting qtGui.py: can not import Qt I can find how to fix this | 01:23 |
| GuidMorrow | what does that lost+found folder do? | 01:23 |
| godmodegrafix | Pici: never took notice, I only let it happen once.... cause from my previous experiences i had from 6.10.. i knew that the only way to fix this issue was to repartition my HD and remove linux altogether...then install again from live cd.. | 01:24 |
| SilAmeth | I am trying to log into the internet through dialup, it dials and when it is authenticating it says looks like a welcome message/ can't run /usr/sbin/pppd, any ideas? | 01:24 |
| godmodegrafix | and i dont want to try it again, cause its a hassle installing and uninstalling ubuntu | 01:24 |
| godmodegrafix | well it's not.. but i dont wanna :( | 01:24 |
| rww | GuidMorrow: if messed up files are recovered during a disk check and the disk recovery can't figure out where to put them, they're put there. It's typically empty. | 01:25 |
| losher | GuidMorrow: when checking the disk, if the checker finds files that don't seem to belong anywhere, it puts them into lost+found so you have a chance of putting them back in the right place. When that happens, the filename is typically lost, even if the contents are still there... | 01:25 |
| Swian | looking for a solution for work. They want a small install of linux (I suggested puppylinux) that is configured to open remote desktop on boot and nothing else, can anyone point me in the right direction? | 01:25 |

| andyzammy1 | rww: oops, pidgin froze up on me, sry | 01:27 |
| GuidMorrow | losher : problem is, nobody can't even get in that folder! | 01:27 |
| godmodegrafix | Pici: im not sure, how would i find out? | 01:27 |
| losher | biglinux: for FAT & NTFS you need to boot windows to check them properly | 01:27 |
| Swian | thanks but the question wasn't about the distro but more about configuring it to do what I said | 01:28 |
| losher | GuidMorrow: you have to be root to look in there. Use sudo ls /lost+found | 01:28 |
| rww | andyzammy1: no problem. The last thing I asked was whether it's an internal drive or an external SD card or something like that? | 01:28 |
| Pici | godmodegrafix: open a terminal and type: lspci and look for something that looks like a graphics adapter | 01:28 |
| godmodegrafix | ah yes | 01:29 |
| godmodegrafix | everything is intel | 01:29 |

| biglinux | when I'm on Windows, it asks to format the HD, and Linux open normally | 01:29 |
| andyzammy1 | rww: right. basically the psp's acting as a card reader. it takes memory stick duo cards. should i try reformatting the carrd? | 01:29 |
| GuidMorrow | losher: that only works through terminal, but not through nautilus | 01:29 |
| Pici | godmodegrafix: Some people today were discussing intel graphics issues with the latest updates, I'm not sure which package it was though. | 01:29 |
| biglinux | and no have space in the HD for make backup | 01:29 |
| GuidMorrow | losher : how do I display the folder contents | 01:30 |
| rww | andyzammy1: you may have done this already, but some memory sticks have a "lock" switch on the back. Is it set appropriately? | 01:30 |
| godmodegrafix | Pici: actually nvm, my graphics card is RADEON | 01:30 |
| losher | GuidMorrow: if your system is so screwed up that files are showing up in /lost+found, you probably can't fix it from nautilus, sorry... | 01:30 |
| rww | GuidMorrow: hit Alt-F2, run "gksudo nautilus", and use that to browse it. | 01:31 |
| andyzammy1 | rww: i did have a look, but there doesn't appear to be a physical lock. | 01:31 |

| SilAmeth | or rather pppd on jaunty | 01:32 |

| losher | Swian: when you say 'remote desktop' do you mean just ssh into a shell, or a full (gnome?) desktop viewed remotely? | 01:32 |

| buttons840 | how come every time i try to figure out how to do something through the terminal i have to sift through about 5 pages of people demonstrating how to do it using gui? :( | 01:32 |
| Pici | godmodegrafix: hmm... I've really not seen a package install crash Ubuntu in.. well never. | 01:33 |
| bigdavejoker | hehe good question | 01:33 |
| Swian | when I say remote desktop I mean the remote desktop application that can be used to connect to windows terminal servers | 01:33 |
| rww | GuidMorrow: good, that means the disk checker isn't finding broken lost files when it runs. | 01:33 |
| Swian | that's the ONLY app they want available | 01:33 |
| GuidMorrow | rww: define broken? | 01:33 |
| godmodegrafix | Pici: this is strange... :\ | 01:33 |
| JoshuaP0x | I downloaded the new NVIDIA driver, NVIDIA-Linux-x86-185.18.36-pkg1.run. how do i install it? | 01:34 |

| cbassett | can anyone help me with drivers for broadcom | 01:34 |
| losher | buttons840: some people are incapable/unwilling to do anything that doesn't have a GUI. I also notice nowadays that youtube has videos of things which take 20 minutes to watch, which could be written in half a page of text... | 01:34 |

| godmodegrafix | Pici: thanks, I'll figure it out eventually... i dont want to run the risk of having to reinstall ubuntu right now though.. | 01:35 |

| GuidMorrow | yet another windows user | 01:36 |

| m3wt | a | 01:36 |
| GuidMorrow | rww: what makes a file break? | 01:36 |
| Qvintvs | can you search for installed packages using apt-cache? | 01:36 |
| biovore | dpkg -l | grep <name> | 01:37 |
| rww | GuidMorrow: disk corruption caused by hardware failure, power outages, or other fun stuff like that | 01:37 |
| bucky | UBuntuNewbie, you mean the one with the black screen with lots of text that says something about Xorg.0.log ? | 01:37 |
| GuidMorrow | ouch | 01:37 |
| losher | Swian: client remote desktop application only? | 01:37 |
| Swian | yes | 01:37 |
| Swian | losher: yes | 01:37 |
| UBuntuNewbie | bucky : no | 01:37 |
| andyzammy1 | rww: i was going to try mount the psp in a windows VM but it appears i can't use anything usb (don't know why, all my usb devices are grayed out) lol, yet another problem | 01:37 |
| Qvintvs | biovore: i know about using dpkg to do it, i mean is there a way to do it with apt-cache | 01:37 |
| ctmjr | JoshuaP0x: ctrl+alt+f1 then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop then run the installer sudo sh ./name of driver.run then reboot | 01:37 |
| rww | andyzammy1: if you're using Virtuabox from the Ubuntu repositories, that's because the open source version of VirtualBox (the one Ubuntu ships) doesn't have direct USB support. You'd need to use the one from their website. | 01:38 |
| cbassett | I have broadcom 4322 propritary drivers but they really don't get the job done... i mainly need 3rd party for aircrack can anyone help | 01:38 |

| bucky | UBuntuNewbie, i don't think i've ever seen that one | 01:39 |
| rww | andyzammy1: ugh, pretty much all Sony says is that some of them do have locks, some of them don't, and in the ones that do, it looks different on different ones. So much for standardization. | 01:39 |
| cognitiaclaeves | heh: command-not-found is already the newest version | 01:39 |
| cognitiaclaeves | ... ok. | 01:40 |
| GuidMorrow | what do you mean "command-not-found"? What's that? | 01:40 |
| rww | Qvintvs: not that I can see, no. I generally use "aptitude search ~i" to show all installed packages. | 01:40 |
| cognitiaclaeves | Evidently what is called when a command isn't found. | 01:40 |
| damian | how does this work? | 01:40 |
| trism | GuidMorrow: command-not-found is a python script ubuntu runs when you type a command into bash that doesn't exist | 01:40 |
| damian | newby here. | 01:40 |
| cbassett | where can i get broadcom 4322 3rd party drivers for aircrack the ones im using now are propietary drivers and they dont cut it for aircrack | 01:40 |
| andyzammy1 | rww: i'm going to try to reformat the memory stick and see if that helps any. thanks for your help! | 01:40 |
| trism | GuidMorrow: it just prints out possible packages from the repos | 01:41 |
| rww | damian: if you have a problem with or question about Ubuntu, just go ahead and... I guess not. | 01:41 |
| UBuntuNewbie | anyone here have a problem running Chess in 3d-mode? | 01:41 |
| andyzammy1 | ? | 01:41 |
| losher | Swian: ok, so they all come with x11 and networking. The most obscure part is the rdesktop application. You can build it if it isn't available, but some of the build environments for the small distros are a pain to work with. Also, if your hardware is non-standard, you need to be sure the distro supports what you have. If I were you, I'd pick 3 or 4 and just download them, burn 'em to CD, and try them out... | 01:41 |
| rww | andyzammy1: alright. let me know how it goes :) | 01:41 |
| GuidMorrow | cognitiaclaeves : try reinstalling command-not-found? | 01:42 |
| andyzammy1 | rww: will do! | 01:42 |
| cognitiaclaeves | I did. Already the latest version. | 01:42 |
| GuidMorrow | what's the apt-get command for that | 01:42 |
| Swian | losher: yeah, I like puppy because its debian based, but can you point me to somewhere to read up on configuration? | 01:43 |
| GuidMorrow | what's the apt-get command for reinstalling a package | 01:43 |
| Swian | if not I'll google around | 01:43 |
| cbassett | I have broadcom 4322 propritary drivers but they really don't get the job done... i mainly need 3rd party for aircrack where can i find some and how to install? | 01:43 |

| rww | mordof: System -> Preferences -> Preferred Applications. under Web Browser, click "Custom" in the dropdown, and change "firefox" to "firefox-3.5" | 01:45 |
| losher | Swian: nearly all puppy config is done from the GUI if I recall correctly. http://www.puppylinux.com/. But don't rule out crunchbang, and there's also a Ubuntu minimal CD which you can customize. You're actually spoiled for choice when it comes to small distros... | 01:46 |

| ubottu | zhanglearn: 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 :) | 01:58 |
| midnightleutenan | ctmjr, They're at 212.117.163.190, but their site doesn't state a port number | 01:59 |
| rww | zhanglearn: install the "manpages-dev" package | 01:59 |
| verv87 | how do i install cabal in ubuntu | 01:59 |
| midnightleutenan | ctmjr, for some reason Xchat seems to try to connect on the loopback channel. | 01:59 |
| rww | zhanglearn: that has all the manpages for system calls. I forgot it isn't installed by default. | 01:59 |
| merma | sudansh: how exactly does wubi installs ubuntu? when you install ubuntu through wubi do you select it through grub at startup? | 01:59 |
| SilAmeth | is there an actual ubuntu support channel? | 01:59 |
| IdleOne | merma: yes | 02:00 |
| zhanglearn | ?? | 02:00 |

| IdleOne | SilAmeth: this is the channel | 02:00 |

| merma | sudansh: do sudo grub | 02:00 |
| rww | zhanglearn: "sudo apt-get install manpages-dev" | 02:00 |
| verv87 | is there a cabal package in ubuntu? i can only find a dev one | 02:00 |
| zhanglearn | got it, thanks | 02:00 |
| SilAmeth | ah.... I see so I guess no one in here knows about pppd? | 02:00 |
| sudansh | @merma ya then | 02:00 |
| IdleOne | sudansh: if you formatted the drive when you re-installed windows. you erased the wubi install | 02:00 |
| dsdeiz | @where cabal | 02:00 |
| dsdeiz | lolz | 02:00 |
| rww | SilAmeth: perhaps if you asked your actual question, rather than repeating "anyone on here know about ppp?" over and over again, you'd get better help. | 02:00 |
| merma | sudansh: do you know your ubuntu partition number? | 02:00 |
| Alumin | so, just curious...now that Sun has GPLed Java, how come distros still ship with OpenJDK / IcedTea, etc? | 02:01 |

| IdleOne | sudansh: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub READ THIS DO WHAT IT SAYS AND IT WILL WORK. | 02:16 |
| rww | merma: they're all for fixing grub if Ubuntu's installed to a separate partition, not to a Wubi partition-as-a-file, I assume. | 02:16 |
| rww | IdleOne: watch your attitude, please. | 02:16 |
| rww | !caps | 02:16 |
| ubottu | PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. | 02:16 |
| merma | rww: he said he installed ubuntu on a different partition | 02:16 |
| RapeApe | ubottu: not all of us | 02:16 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about not all of us | 02:16 |
| IdleOne | rww: sorry | 02:16 |
| sudansh | merma the prob is that these guides tell me if i have installed ubuntu in ext partitions | 02:16 |
| sudansh | bt i have installed ubuntu inside windows xp as an app in ntfs system | 02:17 |
| rww | merma: he said he installed using Wubi. The Wubi files are on a separate partition. They are still Wubi files. | 02:17 |
| merma | sudansh: ahhh I don't know then, just reinstall ubuntu | 02:17 |
| sudansh | wubi has made virtual disk ... root.disk home.disk and swap.disk | 02:17 |
| sudansh | which ubuntu treat as real disk.. | 02:18 |
| merma | it has your home on a different "disk" anyway | 02:18 |
| Alumin | hey, how is Wubi anyway...is it a decent representation of the Ubuntu experience for someone who's interested in experimenting with an alternative OS? | 02:18 |
| merma | sudansh: why not install the real thing? | 02:18 |
| rww | sudansh: Wubi has crappy support in here, really. If I were you, I'd temporarily move your wubi stuff elsewhere, install a new throwaway wubi in the place where it used to be, then copy over all the files from your old wubi install and overwrite the new one. | 02:18 |
| rww | sudansh: I know it's a pain, but the way Wubi is set up is so weird (it doesn't use GRUB like normal installations, for example) that it's probably the easiest way. | 02:19 |
| sudansh | merma cz i dont want to create a separate partition js for ubuntu | 02:19 |
| thiebaude | rww, i heard alot problems with wubi | 02:19 |
| IdleOne | rww: I offered that solution to him. he did not like it | 02:19 |
| rww | Alumin: If you're at all comfortable with "real" partitioning, I'd recommend it over Wubi. There are a myriad of potential problems with it. | 02:19 |
| sudansh | rww actually i was going to reinstall wubi anyway bt thought if there was a way without reinstalling it | 02:20 |

| kahrg | CHey guys, question... Is there a way in EVOLUTION to set an event in the calendar for a certain day, every day for a span of time (In this case, I want to put in my college classes, so I can look at my sched and see what I have) | 02:31 |
| GuidMorrow | how do I make a grub rescue disk | 02:31 |
| fccf | G-man: you have to run nvidia-settings with gksudo ... or you can't write to /etc/X11 | 02:31 |
| Tim__ | It is recognized in the lsusb | 02:31 |
| G-man | how do i do that? | 02:31 |
| Tim__ | But I can't access it with any other means | 02:31 |
| cognitiaclaeves | kahrg: Are you stuck on evolution? | 02:31 |

| smogattack | thiebaude, yeah, I'm reading the first one, but I don't know whether to choose hd0,0; hd0,1, etc | 02:35 |
| rww | Tim__: is there any data off it you want, or is reformatting it okay? | 02:35 |
| kahrg | cognitiaclaeves: suppose i should look into it, but i wanted it to be integrated with gnome (for notifications) | 02:35 |
| Tim__ | I want to reformat it | 02:35 |
| Tim__ | I want it back in NTFS format where I can't do any more damage to it | 02:35 |
| cognitiaclaeves | oh, is that all? tb has an extension to handle notifications. | 02:35 |
| kahrg | cognitiaclaeves: but TB is also an eyesore | 02:36 |
| Tim__ | Ubuntu has become so madly corrupted that I had to try and manually put a LiveCD on it to boot from, however it failed and destroyed it | 02:36 |

| rafael_ | hey folks | 02:36 |
| smogattack | thiebaude, how can I check what partition my windows 7 is on? like hd0,1 | 02:36 |
| rww | Tim__: alright. Unplug it if it's plugged in, then plug it back in, wait about ten seconds, and run "dmesg | tail" in a terminal. You should get a bunch of messages prefaced with some numbers and then [sdX] where X is a, b, c, whatever. e.g.: "[11146.937141] sd 7:0:0:0: [sdc] Attached SCSI removable disk", X is "c". | 02:37 |

| smogattack | how can I check what partition my windows 7 is on? | 02:37 |
| Tim__ | rww: Ok, it's /dev/sdb1 | 02:38 |
| k1LL_O2 | oh, tanks! | 02:38 |
| Guest26536 | is there any disadvantages to using xubuntu | 02:38 |
| Tim__ | Same as it was when I could read it :p | 02:38 |
| Guest26536 | ? | 02:38 |
| Tim__ | At least I think so | 02:38 |
| rww | Tim__: you think it's the same, or you think it's sdb? 'cause the next command will wipe it out, so you should probably be sure it's sdb ;) | 02:38 |
| Tim__ | It's definitely sdb | 02:38 |
| Tim__ | I don't really care what it does to my comp anyways, it somehow corrupted itself while it was on sleep mode... when I turned it back on everything was completely different and messed up. >:( | 02:39 |
| thiebaude | !xubuntu | Guest26536 | 02:39 |
| ubottu | Guest26536: Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels | 02:39 |
| Tim__ | But I'm 99.99999% sure it's /dev/sdb1 | 02:39 |
| rww | Tim__: alright. next do "sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=10MB" (people who are not Tim__: DO NOT DO THIS) and let it run for a few minutes (you won't get any output), then Ctrl-C it to quit it. That'll overwrite the start of the partition and completely remove any partitioning (broken or otherwise) on the drive. | 02:40 |
| thiebaude | Guest26536, i dont use it | 02:40 |
| Guest26536 | what is the difference | 02:40 |
| Guest26536 | just the GUI | 02:40 |
| Tim__ | rw: I'm assuming I'm supposed to replace /dev/sdb with /dev/sdb1, correct? | 02:40 |
| tnnc | can someone tell me what would cause ubuntu to boot direct into memtest86 and wont boot the kernel | 02:40 |
| Tim__ | And I don't replace /dev/zero? | 02:40 |
| Tim__ | *rww | 02:41 |
| fuzzybunny | hey everyone what is the best way to tag lots of photos? | 02:41 |
| rww | Tim__: no, /dev/sdb is the name of the whole disk, which is what contains the broken partitioning. Assuming there's nothing on the disk you want, you'd want to do sdb. | 02:41 |
| Tim__ | rww: It seems to be responding | 02:42 |
| Tim__ | My USB light is blinking now | 02:42 |
| caguamon | tnnc: you have grub installed? | 02:42 |
| rww | Tim__: okay. Like I said, let it run for a few minutes, then do Ctrl-C to quit it. It might take a few seconds to return you to a prompt after that. After that, I'll walk you through partitioning it properly with gparted. Ping me when you quit it. | 02:42 |
| smogattack | what does Grub Loading Stage 2 mean? | 02:42 |
| Tim__ | Can do. | 02:43 |
| rww | smogattack: it means it's loading the parts of GRUB that are stored on your boot partition (as opposed to in the Master Boot Record). | 02:43 |
| Tim__ | rww: About how long should I wait? | 02:44 |
| rww | Tim__: this should be enough | 02:44 |
| Tim__ | Okay | 02:44 |
| rww | Tim__: okay. If you don't already have gparted installed, install it (for example, "sudo apt-get install gparted" from the command-line) | 02:45 |
| Tim__ | rww: It's installed | 02:45 |
| thomc | is it normal for an fsck on a large partition (500GB) to be completed in a very short space of time (less than a minute)? | 02:45 |
| smogattack | Well, it's not booting my windows 7. How can I find what hd it's on? | 02:45 |
| rww | thomc: is it using ext4? | 02:45 |
| thomc | rww: no, this is a vfat partition. | 02:46 |
| Justnulling2 | hi, system monitor shows a process with no process name/command line that respawns with a new pid every 5 seconds or so, how can i find more about this process? | 02:46 |
| IndyGunFreak | thomc: is the drive predominantly empty? | 02:46 |
| caguamon | smog: does it boot any other OS? | 02:46 |
| rww | Tim__: alright. Run it from System -> Administration -> Partition Editor. It'll probably take a minute to scan /dev/sdb; when it's done, select it from the dropdown in the top right | 02:46 |
| thomc | IndyGunFreak: no, its about 2/3 full. | 02:46 |
| thiebaude | smogattack, grub doesn't boot windows 7 | 02:46 |

| Coder4Lyfe | Hi, I'm a C++ programmer moving from Windows to Ubuntu and I'm wondering if there are any good IDEs for C++ development. I'm used to Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0's C++ implementation | 02:47 |
| smogattack | thiebaude, any way to boot it? or should I just lose hope? | 02:47 |
| Tim__ | Coder4Lyfe: Try Eclipse, or Netbeans | 02:47 |
| IndyGunFreak | smogattack: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1036547 | 02:47 |
| dsdeiz | Coder4Lyfe: there's also codeblocks | 02:47 |
| thiebaude | smogattack, i dont know anything about windows 7 | 02:47 |
| Coder4Lyfe | Are those any similar to Visual Studio? | 02:48 |
| Tim__ | Coder4Lyfe: Somewhat | 02:48 |
| Coder4Lyfe | I thought NetBeans was for Java development | 02:48 |
| thomc | IndyGunFreak: basically at some point I think I've had a data corruption (some video files on the disk now seem to be scrambled) and I'm trying to track down the cause. Nothing wrong with the drive according to badblocks or smartctl but fsck doesn't seem to be doing its job. | 02:48 |

| IndyGunFreak | brb | 02:49 |
| Tim__ | Coder4Lyfe: It is for anything | 02:49 |
| Tim__ | Coder4Lyfe: It has C++/C plugins, and they are very easy to install | 02:49 |
| rww | Tim__: hrm. close gparted, pull the USB stick out, put it back in, and try again. GNOME might have tried to mount it at some point. | 02:49 |
| Tim__ | rww: Okay, it's working | 02:49 |
| Coder4Lyfe | Tim__: Which do you think is closest to Visual Studio? I'd like to get started as fast as possible | 02:50 |
| rww | Tim__: alright. are you at a screen that looks something like http://imagebin.org/63259 ? | 02:50 |
| Tim__ | Codr4Lyfe: I think Netbeans would be better suited for your needes... it's very easy to get the C++ plugins installed. | 02:50 |

| Tim__ | Coder4Lyfe: Eclipse is a little more complex, at least from my brief experience with it. | 02:51 |
| Tim__ | rww: Yes, it is exactly like that | 02:51 |
| Coder4Lyfe | Ok thanks, I'll try NetBeans. | 02:51 |
| rww | rigodeni: You'd need to add it to /etc/fstab | 02:51 |

| causasui | Relar: you can find out by booting the liveCD and testing it out | 02:53 |
| Tim__ | rww: Which I believe would be either FAT16, or FAT32 | 02:53 |
| rigodeni | rww: k thx, reading | 02:53 |
| rww | Tim__: okay. So the whole thing should be FAT32? Or did you need something more complicated? | 02:53 |

| FlamingFlamingo | hey guys, i started up ubuntu and it said that it's running in 'Low-graphics mode' and that i need to reconfigure my display. but everytime i revert to my default display settings and restart, it just does the same thing | 03:09 |
| Mqueue | okay cool | 03:09 |
| PMantis | test34: If you shutdown and power off the laptop, nobody can access any data on the hard drive, even if they remove it. This relies on a SECURE password. | 03:10 |
| test34 | PMantis: 14+ characters password | 03:10 |
| rigodeni | ok i would like to add "/dev/sdb1 /media/disk ext3 auto 0 2" to fstab but when i put that in terminal i get "command not found" | 03:10 |
| test34 | (random, that even you can't remember) | 03:11 |
| PMantis | test34: Yup, that's approx what I do, Upper/lower case and symbols. | 03:11 |
| PMantis | lol | 03:11 |
| MRIguy | rigodeni: use sudo gedit /etc/fstab to do the edit | 03:11 |
| billybigrigger | rigodeni, you need to open up the file /etc/fstab | 03:11 |
| billybigrigger | rigodeni, ie nano /etc/fstab | 03:11 |
| smogattack | I don't get what this means-- http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/268320/ | 03:12 |
| test34 | if I want to remember my passwords I use 8 random Upper/lower case and symbols, otherwise I use a password manager | 03:12 |
| Tim__ | How do I set a boot flag to a USB stick? | 03:12 |
| test34 | tim: fdisk | 03:12 |

| janderie | test | 03:13 |
| neekers | ahh, jar was in /usr/bin | 03:13 |

| Tim__ | *"/dev/sdb1" | 03:13 |
| rigodeni | MRIguy: k, now just to make sure, to make it automatically mount the drive i do "auto" for options part right? | 03:13 |
| Tim__ | Nevermind | 03:14 |
| Tim__ | I set it using Gparted | 03:14 |
| test34 | tim__, sudo fdisk /dev/sdb | 03:14 |
| PMantis | test34: I took the time to memorize this one, since it protects access to my HD, which contains other passwords. | 03:14 |
| test34 | PMantis: well, you also need to change it at least once a month | 03:15 |
| abhi_ | hi | 03:15 |
| rww | !gksudo | MRIguy, rigodeni | 03:15 |
| ubottu | MRIguy, rigodeni: 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) | 03:15 |

| === anthony is now known as G-man | ||
| PMantis | test34: If someone can walk off with my laptop, it doesn't matter if the password is new or old. This is their first stab at it, and they get to keep it as long as they want to try to crack it to see my data. Once they have it in their possession, I can't change the password. | 03:18 |
| G-man | Question for u gamers, out there, how do i go about getting wine tricks, i dont see it in synaptics | 03:18 |

| danbhfive | G-man: have you looked at the !appdb ? | 03:18 |
| merma | G-man: it's just a script, it's easy to find on google | 03:18 |
| test34 | PMantis: they could possibly get it via then internet? | 03:18 |

| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 03:19 |
| PMantis | test34: There's no way they can access a raw block device on my laptop when it's powered off. If it's powered on, the drive is already decrypted, and there's absolutely no need for the to guess the encryption password, since luks already has is mounted. | 03:20 |

| Out_Cold | so can someone recommend a video card 512 or better that is highly supported with hdmi or component video | 03:22 |
| test34 | PMantis: makes sense... my computer is always ON, so no sense in encrypting the HD I guess (unless it gets stolen) | 03:22 |
| Out_Cold | test34, also if it's encrypted and you have problems it's fairly difficult to get it all set back up... | 03:23 |
| test34 | I do have an encrypted "partition" on a file on my USB key using truecrypt.. | 03:23 |
| PMantis | test34: Right. I sometimes encrypt my backup servers, since they contain data from multiple systems. If that's stolen, ALL is compromised. But, an encrypted drive does *nothing* to stop attacks while the system is fully booted. | 03:23 |
| kljgi | 123 | 03:23 |

| KB1JWQ | PMantis: My money says he's already lost his data, I'm just confirming that now. | 04:13 |
| KB1JWQ | PMantis: Short version is he can't see his Winders partitions. | 04:13 |
| Newbie_ | no | 04:13 |
| afallenhope | Out_Cold how would I go about installing them? | 04:13 |
| Sonnyx4 | we're newbies some patience please! someday we might become masters :O | 04:13 |
| PMantis | KB1JWQ: Ahhh | 04:13 |
| Out_Cold | afallenhope, try lshw in terminal and see if there is a driver installed | 04:13 |
| Ububegin | I am decideing between using diff and cmp.. can someone take a look here and give me a hint... http://pastebin.com/m7b7f27a0 | 04:13 |
| ctmjr_ | !gparted | Newbie_ | 04:13 |
| ubottu | Newbie_: gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php | 04:13 |
| LucidGuy | Network Manager is only logging into my WiFi when I login into gnome. In the past I would simply set within network manager -> edit wifi connection and put a check in the "Connect Automatically" option. Yet this is checked and still not available till I login. Any suggestions? | 04:13 |
| Korlis | to me it sounds like he installed ubuntu over windows | 04:13 |
| Out_Cold | afallenhope, look for a 802.11 section | 04:13 |
| jjrev | Newbie_: you can't repartition the drive you are booted from | 04:14 |
| KB1JWQ | Korlis: That's my guess. | 04:14 |
| PMantis | KB1JWQ: I hate to say it, but his best chance might be with a second windows computer, and a recovery program designed for windows. | 04:14 |
| Out_Cold | afallenhope, the lats line of the section will say if there is a driver installed for the card already | 04:14 |
| Newbie_ | i have downloaded and brunt the Gparted livecd to cd but i dnt understand | 04:14 |
| PMantis | KB1JWQ: Let the program determine where the partitions are... | 04:14 |
| Korlis | thats why i always tell people who aren't sure to run wubi first | 04:14 |
| jjrev | Newbie_: what don't you understand? | 04:15 |
| KB1JWQ | PMantis: Nah, testdisk makes a great filecarver if you run it from a LiveCD | 04:15 |
| ctmjr_ | Newbie_: have you booted into it yet? | 04:15 |
| shane2peru | KB1JWQ: for that much of a noob, sudo fdisk -l would have been simpler | 04:15 |
| Newbie_ | jjrev can i pm you please? | 04:15 |
| PMantis | KB1JWQ: testdisk? I'll have to look at that. | 04:15 |
| jjrev | Newbie_: sure | 04:15 |
| Wildbat | anyone know why eclipse is soooooo much slower then windows and also debugger fails in ubuntu ? and any fix? | 04:15 |
| afallenhope | Out_Cold okay give me a sec | 04:15 |
| PMantis | shane2peru: That was my thought. :) | 04:15 |
| KB1JWQ | shane2peru: To be fair, he hadn't let on his noob level until after that came out. :-) | 04:15 |
| Korlis | i dont even know what eclipse is | 04:16 |
| PMantis | lol | 04:16 |
| stlsaint | DK_CE, you there | 04:16 |
| KB1JWQ | shane2peru: That said, I concede the point. | 04:16 |
| Sonnyx4 | alright people, I've finally obtained the partition list :D from Fdisk: http://pastebin.com/m3000c5be | 04:16 |
| shane2peru | KB1JWQ: it is good to assume noob and work up. :) | 04:16 |
| nic1 | how to install gtalk on ubuntu? | 04:16 |
| KB1JWQ | Sonnyx4: Yeah, you're boned. | 04:16 |
| Sonnyx4 | so I deleted the other parittions? | 04:16 |
| KB1JWQ | Sonnyx4: Yeah. Time to restore from backup. | 04:17 |
| barqs | Is there a way to get the ubuntu repository list back to the original? | 04:17 |
| Korlis | yeah, windows i gone | 04:17 |
| Sonnyx4 | maybe the file table is lost but the data is still in there, there must be some app that could recover that | 04:17 |
| shane2peru | barqs: did you make a backup before messing with it? | 04:17 |
| lash9420 | Okay. I have had some trouble installing Ubuntu on my HP DV6000 series laptop. Any tips? What architecture should I use? I have an AMD Turion X2 processor. It says 64 on the sticker too but I dont think i have a 64 bit processor. maybe I do. | 04:17 |
| KB1JWQ | Sonnyx4: At your experience level? Pay a professional if it's important. | 04:17 |
| KB1JWQ | Sonnyx4: You're likely to make it worse if you don't. | 04:17 |
| PMantis | KB1JWQ: He *could* create a new partition, from 1 - 18971, flag is as dos (or whatever) and hope the data is still there. | 04:17 |
| danbhfive | lash9420: 32bit. Your cpu probably supports 64, but your other hardware may not | 04:18 |
| Korlis | the more you use your computer the more chance you will overwrite the data you want to save by the way | 04:18 |
| KB1JWQ | PMantis: That seems a bit of a hail mary. | 04:18 |
| Sonnyx4 | I know apps in windows that can recover data from "formatted" or "badly partitionated disks" | 04:18 |
| barqs | shange2peru: Stupidly, No, I didn't mean to save as I was closing it.. | 04:18 |
| Sonnyx4 | there must be one in ubuntu as well | 04:18 |
| Out_Cold | is there a way to "grep foo" print so many following lines? | 04:18 |
| afallenhope | Out_Cold it just says "wlan0" but it doesn't specify the driver also, if I try to run ifconfig wlan0 up it says no such file or directoy | 04:18 |
| KB1JWQ | PMantis: I'd probably dd it to an external and do recovery on the image. | 04:18 |
| PMantis | KB1JWQ: Heheh, I've done it before. :) But, you have to exactly match the begin and end block. | 04:18 |
| shane2peru | barqs: what Ubuntu are you using? Jaunty? | 04:18 |
| Out_Cold | afallenhope, iwconfig show anything? | 04:19 |
| KB1JWQ | PMantis: Yeah. And the likelihood of that in this case would be....? :-) | 04:19 |
| Korlis | KB1JWQ that assumes he has a second computer to hook his HD up to | 04:19 |
| webbb82 | anyone have a clue why i would get this error E: kubuntu-docs: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 | 04:19 |
| lash9420 | danbhfive: Ok. Thanks. But which the amd or the i386? im a windows guy i dont understand much out of it. | 04:19 |
| Sonnyx4 | alright, another noob question: how do I back up?? :P | 04:19 |
| KB1JWQ | Korlis: Yeah. Which in turn goes back to my suggestion to "pay a professional." | 04:19 |
| KB1JWQ | Sonnyx4: Get an external drive. | 04:19 |
| sup3rs3nior | I need a bit of help getting my swap partition to mount automatically. | 04:19 |
| PMantis | KB1JWQ: Point taken.. no way to know if there was a recovery partition there, plus a data partition... | 04:19 |
| barqs | shane2Peru, yes, ubuntu 9.04 | 04:19 |
| afallenhope | Out_Cold yes. | 04:19 |
| danbhfive | lash9420: i386 = 32bit. amd64 = b4bit because AMD invented the 64bit instruction set | 04:19 |
| Sonnyx4 | there must be a "softwarish" way to do it KB1JWQ ^ | 04:20 |
| Out_Cold | afallenhope, anything important? | 04:20 |
| Sonnyx4 | ^^ | 04:20 |
| KB1JWQ | Sonnyx4: What data do you need back? | 04:20 |
| Sonnyx4 | just some music and pictures | 04:20 |
| afallenhope | Out_Cold lol nope. And I tried iwlist wlan0 scan and it didn't do anything fun. | 04:20 |
| Korlis | there are undelete utilities sonny, but anything you install could be overwriting what you want to save | 04:20 |
| afallenhope | just said the card was down | 04:20 |

| KB1JWQ | Sonnyx4: $600 for this type of situation using OnTrack's data recovery. | 04:20 |

| lash9420 | danbhfive: Cool. Thanks. So when I have gone to do this before, it freezes on the Ubuntu booting. I have to press the power button for it to contunue | 04:21 |
| Sonnyx4 | I'm a windows user! ahww I should have changed that long time ago | 04:21 |
| KB1JWQ | Sonnyx4: Yeah. I charge half of that and make a killing most days. :-D | 04:21 |
| MadSeaDog | anyway to rename computer without reinstalling? | 04:21 |
| PMantis | Sonnyx4: Dropbox is a neat way to auto-sync files to a server in the could... clients for Win/Max/Linux. | 04:21 |
| sup3rs3nior | How might I add a swap partition to my "boot list"? | 04:21 |
| Out_Cold | you'll have to find the driver from http://packages.ubuntu.com it'll be b43 or you can check for other broadcom drivers like bc43xx | 04:22 |
| KB1JWQ | Sonnyx4: You have to realize something here. It's ceased to be a Windows vs Linux question; you've got to recover the data using a file carver, and that's fairly OS agnostic. Use what you know. | 04:22 |
| Sonnyx4 | alright, I think I'll have to ask Mr. Google what to do, he knows everything | 04:22 |
| Out_Cold | download the deb to disk and open them on yout other box.. | 04:22 |

| Sonnyx4 | KB1JWQ: at home.. wnna know the country? argentina | 04:23 |
| danbhfive | lash9420: have you tied the 32bit cd? I figured you should try that | 04:23 |
| KB1JWQ | Sonnyx4: Yeah, not close enough to be useful. | 04:24 |

| sup3rs3nior | danbhfive, I'm guessing not.. I see some unfriendly looking text but nothing about "swap partition" | 04:24 |
| lash9420 | danbhfive yeah, thats what ive tried. | 04:24 |
| Sonnyx4 | you?? | 04:24 |
| Korlis | Sonnyx4, your best bet is to remove your hard drive and hook it up to an external dock on a nother ocmputer that has the utility you need installed | 04:24 |
| Out_Cold | LucidGuy, add network manager to startup in admin menu and sett network manager to auto connect to your networks | 04:24 |

| Korlis | KB1JWQ, what do you use? | 04:25 |
| danbhfive | sup3rs3nior: add a line like this: /dev/sdb1none swap sw 0 0 | 04:25 |

| lash9420 | danbhfive, yes | 04:25 |

| Jorsher | anyone know a thing or two about "/dev/root: No such file or directory" errors? I've been searching for hours :( | 04:26 |
| danbhfive | lash9420: have you updated after that? and install linux-backports-modules-generic ? | 04:26 |
| Sonnyx4 | oh you want me to pay you??? | 04:26 |
| Sonnyx4 | lol | 04:26 |
| Korlis | I usually use Backtrack 4 and save the data to an external HD | 04:26 |
| shane2peru | Sonnyx4: well, in that case, in the true spirit of a DIY, you should get the windows program you are familiar with to get the data back | 04:26 |
| Jorsher | i will pay money :/ | 04:26 |
| Sonnyx4 | im just kidding | 04:26 |
| jjrev | Jorsher: what is your situation exactly? | 04:26 |
| KB1JWQ | Jorsher: For what? :-) | 04:26 |
| Out_Cold | LucidGuy, go to systems menu>preferences>startup | 04:26 |
| shane2peru | Sonnyx4: and keep good backups. :) | 04:26 |
| Out_Cold | then add "network manager" | 04:26 |
| afallenhope | Out_Cold basically the issue was the fact that I need to get the firmware | 04:26 |
| Sonnyx4 | yes but I'm lazy I wanna do it easily through ubuntu without getting out of my chair | 04:26 |
| jjrev | Jorsher: sounds like a boot issue | 04:26 |
| lash9420 | danbhfive, i cant because I don't have wifi. I guess I could plug it in too. It's been so long since i've done this. Sorry...haha | 04:26 |

| shane2peru | Sonnyx4: I played with data recovery before, and it isn't easy, you are going to have to google and read a lot, I don't remember how to do it. | 04:27 |
| danbhfive | lash9420: yeah, you should try that, that's where the bugfixes would be | 04:27 |
| Jorsher | i've set up quotas before and am having back luck this time | 04:27 |

| Out_Cold | LucidGuy, check your network manager and make sure it's highlighted to auto connect as well... and the passwords are right | 04:28 |
| troxor | Jorsher: try ext3 | 04:28 |
| shane2peru | Sonnyx4: there are apps, in Ubuntu to to it, but just using the disk reduces the chances of getting data off, it is being written to and used as you use it. | 04:28 |
| CoUrPsE | Loafers, How does that help me? :/ | 04:28 |
| danbhfive | lash9420: ah, yeah, definitely try a later version | 04:28 |
| fccf | nic1: you can use gtalk through pidgin | 04:28 |
| Jorsher | troxor - can i change it without losing data? | 04:29 |
| troxor | Jorsher: nope! :) | 04:29 |
| KB1JWQ | Jorsher: Ah, you want quotas. Got it. | 04:29 |
| Jorsher | ahhhhhh | 04:29 |
| Sonnyx4 | shane2peru: In theory it is complicated because the date on disks are written "straight forward" and the only way to "know" where a file starts or ends is by means of a "table" which is stored with the partition list at the "0 track" or something (sorry I read this in spanish)... the fact of the matter is that most of programs that do this recovery thing do it automatically | 04:29 |
| Loafers | CoUrPsE, You wanted to learn how to move files using command line correct? Well that shows you how... | 04:29 |
| Jorsher | yes quotas, i'm sharing it with a couple people and would like it set up | 04:29 |
| nic1 | through pidgin? | 04:29 |
| nic1 | ok | 04:29 |
| KB1JWQ | Jorsher: Okay, first step: webmin is NOT your friend. | 04:29 |

| shane2peru | Sonnyx4: yes, but you are trying to recover off ntfs, which complicates things | 04:29 |
| lash9420 | danbhfive: okay. I mean the one other computer ive installed this on its worked perfectly. But for my laptop. The most important computer. It wont. Im so lost.... | 04:29 |
| LucidGuy | Out_Cold, do you know how to start up the network manager from the command line? | 04:29 |
| Jorsher | ok | 04:29 |
| Jorsher | 2nd step? :P | 04:29 |
| shane2peru | Sonnyx4: it is a very slow process too. | 04:29 |
| CoUrPsE | eg, 20 sub dirs, move files from each subdir into 1 dir, 1 command. | 04:30 |
| KB1JWQ | Jorsher: Either admin the box, or pay someone to do it; if you try to do it via a GUI you're in for a world of pain. | 04:30 |
| danbhfive | lash9420: well, it takes time for newer hardware to get supported | 04:30 |
| Loafers | CoUrPsE, mv /somelocation/file /destination/folder | 04:30 |
| CoUrPsE | :/ | 04:30 |
| Jorsher | kb - i admin it, someone on that thread told me to try it | 04:30 |
| CoUrPsE | You still do not understand. | 04:30 |
| danbhfive | lash9420: it maybe as simple as that | 04:30 |
| Jorsher | last time i set up quotas i didn't use webmin | 04:30 |
| Loafers | CoUrPsE, ? | 04:30 |
| Sonnyx4 | yes because it must determine by means of patters where a file starts and ends... mp3s, jpgs.. etc... binary data might be seen as "chunk data" | 04:30 |

| LucidGuy | fccf, network-admin is a different tool | 04:32 |
| danbhfive | lash9420: you would still need to use a version later than 8.04 to find out | 04:32 |

| lash9420 | danbhfive: thanks for the hel! | 04:34 |
| lash9420 | p | 04:34 |
| KB1JWQ | Korlis: ext4 is well and good until it's in production. | 04:34 |
| danbhfive | np | 04:34 |
| Korlis | zfs would be awesome, maybe cisco will port it to linux now that they own it | 04:34 |
| Loafers | G-man, http://tr.im/yj3r | 04:34 |
| afallenhope | although it's a personal opinion Xubuntu vs Ubuntu anyone care to take a throb as to which is better? | 04:35 |
| shane2peru | KB1JWQ: what's the problems with ext4 in production? | 04:35 |
| Korlis | ext4 is perfectly stable | 04:35 |
| Solar_Flare | ,is here anyone who got a running pure-ftpd server? | 04:35 |
| jjrev | afallenhope: depends on your GUI preference | 04:35 |
| merma | gnome ftw , unless it's gnome3 | 04:35 |
| KB1JWQ | shane2peru: It's not been battle tested enough. | 04:35 |
| KB1JWQ | shane2peru: For my use case, "production" is 300 servers. I don't like being a testbed. :-) | 04:36 |
| G-man | thanks bro | 04:36 |
| danbhfive | afallenhope: Unless there is something you like about xubuntu, like low resource usage, then use ubuntu, since it is the most supported | 04:36 |
| shane2peru | KB1JWQ: ahh, right, I will agree there, I was reluctant to install it, but did on the OS parition | 04:36 |
| shane2peru | KB1JWQ: right, understood | 04:36 |
| Solar_Flare | -.- | 04:36 |

| Korlis | sorry, caps lock | 04:37 |
| KB1JWQ | Korlis: CentOS at this job; FreeBSD previously. | 04:38 |
| Korlis | KB1JWQ: i tried freebsd, pretty awesome. hey, like i said, maybe cisco will port ZFS to Linux now | 04:38 |
| kamelotusky | ok, i buyed a netbook a few days ago. and i want to change SO to Ubuntu... but I can't... when i'm in the process, it appears a problem. | 04:39 |

| fccf | shane2peru: KB1JWQ: failures have all been on western digital though, which has been the clear winner in the past | 04:43 |
| IndyGunFreak | papito: you should be able to set it in System/Power Management. | 04:43 |
| danbhfive | afallenhope: is this a new install? | 04:43 |
| afallenhope | I know there's one on "changing" but I'm wondering about during the install process. | 04:43 |
| afallenhope | danbhfive yes. I'm completely wiping Windows. | 04:43 |
| jrib | papito: it makes more sense to use the shutdown command's ability to schedule a shutdown, not to use at | 04:43 |
| shane2peru | fccf: hdd failures, or rw failures? I guess if they are all one brand that is narrowing it down some. | 04:43 |
| danbhfive | afallenhope: well, changing is harder. All you have to do is do the partitioning, and then assign the partition you want as /home to /home during the install process | 04:44 |
| Solar_Flare | pythagoras: are you admin on your system? | 04:44 |

| thirst | hi guys | 04:45 |
| shane2peru | fccf: yep, that would be rw failure, not hdd failure, that isn't good, odd it is with WD. | 04:45 |
| fccf | !hi | thirst | 04:45 |
| ubottu | thirst: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 04:45 |
| thirst | guys.. i connected my external USB to a mac and tried to format one partition .. but it blew away the entire partition table. :( I had 3 partitions first two of which I know the exact size, any way I can use fdisk to re create the partition table ? | 04:46 |
| fccf | shane2peru: I think of all the drives I have bought over the years WD has been the most reliable, some are even 10 y.o. and still functioning like brand new | 04:46 |
| jjrev | thirst: yes, but you might loose your data... | 04:47 |
| === rek is now known as GuangXiN | ||
| shane2peru | thirst if you are familiar with fdisk yes, otherwise it would be recommended to use gparted | 04:47 |
| jjrev | thirst: have you already written data to the disk with the MAC? | 04:47 |
| thirst | jjrev, what will cause me to loose data.. | 04:48 |
| shane2peru | thirst: ohh, wait, you meant re-create the partitions, that would be tough with gparted | 04:48 |
| thirst | jjrev, no. didnt write any data.. Mac data utility returned an error and exited within a second.. and the disk is untouched since.. | 04:48 |
| jjrev | alright, how did you partition the disk previously? | 04:49 |
| thirst | in fact i tried to delete partition 2, it had no data.. I am interested only in partition 1(ntfs) and 3(ext3) | 04:49 |
| Wildbat | anyone know why eclipse is soooooo much slower then windows and also debugger fails in ubuntu ? and any fix? | 04:49 |
| thirst | I think i originally paritioned the disk on winXp | 04:49 |
| chadwyck | is anybody using ebox? | 04:50 |
| thirst | I found one online resource here http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Partition/recovering.html but wanted to know more details | 04:50 |

| jjrev | thirst: yeah, you're going to have to be a little creative when doing that. you have to make sure they are exactly the same size,... | 04:51 |
| thirst | jjrev, what are the reasons which will cause me to loose data even if I recreate the parition table with the exact same size | 04:52 |
| thirst | ok | 04:52 |
| RichiV | good luck with that... the gaming support for any linux is terrible as wine is like on of the one f the only best ways to game | 04:52 |

| Jorsher | i doubt the 1000 reading every word | 05:07 |
| gandhi | ah, thats a shame | 05:07 |
| chadwyck | prohna, there is a script to upgrade alsa to the latest. solved tons of problems for me. | 05:07 |
| gandhi | can i just make it small like a gig | 05:07 |
| drygrain | 1260 in this chan | 05:07 |
| gandhi | instead of 4 | 05:07 |
| Jorsher | 1260 that aren't idle? | 05:07 |
| gandhi | or does it have to be same size as memory? | 05:07 |
| drygrain | and the logs are published | 05:07 |
| chadwyck | check the forums on xbmc | 05:07 |
| drygrain | on www | 05:07 |
| Jorsher | nice :P | 05:07 |
| itai_michaelson | hi, i have a command called "gs" by user "lp" taking 100% of my CPU, what is that? | 05:07 |
| MilkmanDan | So, I've read about 30 pages of sticky forum posts on 32bit vs. 64bit, but none of them mention whether or not you're supposed to download the amd64 iso for 64bit Intel platforms. | 05:07 |
| Declination | itai_michaelson: did you print something? | 05:07 |
| soreau | gandhi: Generally speaking, it should be twice the size of your RAM | 05:07 |
| prohna | does anyone have any links on how to hack? | 05:07 |
| prohna | i thought this was the place to go for help | 05:08 |
| === vorian is now known as obama | ||
| soreau | ! swap | gandhi | 05:08 |
| drygrain | no prohna | 05:08 |
| ubottu | gandhi: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info | 05:08 |
| Jorsher | prohna - there's this google thing | 05:08 |
| === jay is now known as jaybinks | ||
| error404notfound | i have "reshclam; clamscan --bell -r --max-dir-recursion=40 --log=/var/log/clamav/`date +%b%d%Y%H%M%S`.log -i /" in cron and upon execution it says: "/bin/sh: Syntax error: EOF in backquote substitution" | 05:08 |
| fccf | itai_michaelson: ghostscript ... part of printing ... lp is the print group | 05:08 |
| chadwyck | amd64 works for all x86-64 | 05:08 |
| gandhi | but i have 4 gigs of ram, thats why i turn off the swap in the first place | 05:08 |
| drygrain | lol | 05:08 |
| itai_michaelson | Decepticon, yes | 05:08 |
| prohna | you cant hack with google | 05:08 |
| gandhi | i know what hte swap does | 05:08 |
| Jorsher | you haven't tried obviously | 05:08 |
| Jorsher | you'll probably have better luck finding their banking info with google than trying to hack | 05:08 |
| prohna | also how do i know if someones trying to hack me | 05:08 |
| itai_michaelson | Decepticon, fccf , is there a way to limit the resources it takes? | 05:08 |
| xikteny | !cracking | prohna | 05:08 |
| ubottu | prohna: piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels. Please take this discussion elsewhere or abstain from it altogether. This includes linking to pirated software, music, and video. Also see !guidelines and !o4o | 05:08 |
| gandhi | my ram usage never gets above like 512mb anyway | 05:08 |
| Jorsher | they usually call you first and ask your permission prohna | 05:09 |
| prohna | im not pirating anything sir | 05:09 |
| chadwyck | prohna, do a search on amazon for "google hacking" | 05:09 |
| Jorsher | ^^ | 05:09 |
| fccf | itai_michaelson: did you try to print something that didn't come out? | 05:09 |
| G-man | how do i get .net framework | 05:09 |
| Jorsher | i got a book, Google Hacking 2009 | 05:09 |

| G-man | to wine | 05:09 |
| prohna | i dont understand | 05:09 |
| Jorsher | it was amazing | 05:09 |
| xikteny | prohna: "...other questionably legal practices..." | 05:09 |
| fccf | G-man: ask in #winehq | 05:09 |
| prohna | but its linux | 05:10 |
| pantaloon | get a mac, then check out the movie hackers...that's how i learned | 05:10 |
| prohna | i was told if i wanted to hack my friend to install linux | 05:10 |
| prohna | so i did | 05:10 |
| itai_michaelson | fccf, it does come out, i print quite often, but i also host files on this machine and users tell me accessing their files takes a long time | 05:10 |
| Jorsher | he's right, mac makes it easy | 05:10 |
| Jorsher | you just download iHack | 05:10 |
| prohna | i even installed it over 50gbs of music | 05:10 |
| jrib | prohna: linux is about Free software. You've been told your question is offtopic, take it elsewhere please | 05:10 |
| prohna | what question | 05:10 |
| prohna | im not asking how to hack anymore | 05:10 |
| prohna | im asking how come i cant ask to hack | 05:10 |
| jrib | prohna: ok, then let's move on | 05:10 |

| ubottu | prohna: The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 05:11 |

| prohna | i dont know what ebox is | 05:13 |
| Jorsher | anyone using kimsufi/ovh hosting? | 05:13 |
| fccf | itai_michaelson: it takes processing power to process every page you print ... especially if it is anything but text... so your desktop acting as a print server .. file host ... and whatever else you are running will slow everything down to a crawl, again depending on your hardware... nethalem might make you productive | 05:13 |
| blur | so there are over 1200 ppl here.. | 05:13 |
| blur | and no one says 1 single GOD DAMNED THING | 05:13 |

| ubottu | blur: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. | 05:13 |
| prohna | do you know how to hack blur ? | 05:13 |
| craig | 1 single GOD DAMN THING | 05:13 |
| soreau | blur: Watch the language | 05:14 |
| soreau | craig: Watch it | 05:14 |
| * jrib knows that attitude is half the battle in getting your question answered | 05:14 | |
| blur | ya craig | 05:14 |
| blur | watch your filthy trap ya pig | 05:14 |
| chadwyck | i know how to hack blur | 05:14 |
| jrib | blur: be respectful of others in this channel please. | 05:14 |
| itai_michaelson | fccf, nethalem as in the processor ? | 05:14 |
| blur | you couldn't hack your way out of a paper bag | 05:14 |
| fccf | itai_michaelson: yes the intel processor (multi core) | 05:14 |
| soreau | blur: craig: If you dont ask in the right manner, its likely you wont get a response | 05:15 |
| Jorsher | nephalem btw | 05:15 |
| andylockran | jrib, thanks for the tsocks recommendation - works a treat :) | 05:15 |
| fccf | jrib: is there anything we can help you with today? nice guy | 05:15 |

| blur | freenode seems lame | 05:15 |
| Ramady | My Bandluxe 120 works with Kppp but I could not make it working with network manager | 05:15 |
| craig | I havent asked anything, well not yet atleast ;p but my apologies for my abuse :) | 05:15 |
| blur | maybe i just don't "get" irc anymore | 05:15 |
| Jorsher | yeah you could probably find somewhere cooler blur | 05:15 |
| itai_michaelson | blur try /b/ | 05:15 |
| Flannel | itai_michaelson: Stop that. | 05:15 |
| blur | i have a question | 05:15 |
| jrib | itai_michaelson: stop with the /b/ already... | 05:15 |
| blur | why do you guys S U C K so hard? | 05:16 |
| chadwyck | blur is old school | 05:16 |
| gandhi | pantaloon, you should check out the xorg edgers ppa | 05:16 |
| prohna | i just want to hack | 05:16 |
| prohna | can someone please assist me | 05:16 |
| gandhi | their intel drivers are much better | 05:16 |
| thundershockatta | is there a program to delete duplicate songs? | 05:16 |
| t0s | my sound works and all, but im curious when i turn it the volume half way i dont hear nothing, its like it only works half way and up like theres not many "levels" of volume | 05:16 |
| t0s | is that normal? | 05:16 |
| jrib | whoever has the night shift has their work cut out for them | 05:16 |
| Jorsher | i doubt it's a feature | 05:17 |
| ctmjr | seems op's are going to be busy | 05:17 |
| fccf | ctmjr: I do my best to explain the rules ... when all else fails there's !ops | 05:18 |
| xnockout | Anyone can decrypt md5 ??? | 05:19 |
| pantaloon | gandhi, ppa? | 05:19 |
| chadwyck | anyone using ubuntu as internet gateway with dsl? | 05:19 |
| fccf | !md5 | xnockout | 05:19 |
| ubottu | xnockout: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 05:19 |
| gandhi | yeah, the launchpad repos that you can hook into | 05:19 |
| Ramady | Is there anybody here using Bandluxe 120 3G modem | 05:20 |
| ctmjr | fccf: yes i agree | 05:20 |
| gandhi | pantaloon, https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa | 05:20 |
| * koolhead waves gandhi | 05:20 | |
| gandhi | sup | 05:21 |
| gigglefight | k. I have the .iso | 05:21 |
| pantaloon | gandhi, very cool. thanks for the tip | 05:21 |
| Fragsworth | ctrl-alt-f1, what is this? | 05:21 |
| gandhi | yup | 05:22 |
| fccf | Ramady: they are almost all the same .... if you look in ~/.kppp there will be a configuration file ... you should be able to use that code with wvdial to setup your modem at the command line which you can run from a launcher on the gnome desktop ... if all else fails you could run kppp within gnome, should still work | 05:22 |
| gigglefight | please, how to create a bootable usb given this .iso | 05:22 |
| fccf | !usb | gigglefight | 05:22 |
| ubottu | gigglefight: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 05:22 |
| Fragsworth | what is this "feature" called, and what is it a part of - when I press ctrl-alt-f1 | 05:23 |
| Fragsworth | Is it part of gnome? | 05:23 |
| Fragsworth | it brings up a fullscreen shell | 05:23 |
| soreau | Fragsworth: linux tty | 05:23 |
| xikteny | Fragsworth: switch to first console | 05:23 |
| gandhi | yeah its just a different tty | 05:23 |
| fccf | Fragsworth: virtual terminal .. it is the command line for linux ... ctrl-alt-f7 gets you the gui | 05:23 |
| Fragsworth | soreau: so it is part of the kernel? | 05:23 |
| xikteny | Fragsworth: yes | 05:23 |
| gandhi | no, its just another instance that isn't running an x server | 05:24 |
| Fragsworth | Is it possible for a process to "hijack" the keyboard events that let you alternate between these instances? | 05:24 |
| gandhi | i suppose, if something were to get root access to your machine in the first place | 05:24 |
| soreau | Fragsworth: Usually youre running X server which is on F7 or higher | 05:25 |
| mobi-sheep | !tty | Fragsworth | 05:26 |
| ubottu | Fragsworth: To get to the TTY terminals 1-6, use the keystroke ctrl + alt + F1-F6 respectively (Alt+F7 will get you back to your graphical login). To change the resolution for your TTY, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution. | 05:26 |
| Fragsworth | Sometimes WINE crashes and I can't ctrl-alt-f1 to get a shell to kill the process or anything. | 05:26 |
| kraut | moin | 05:26 |
| soreau | Fragsworth: You can do Ctrl+Alt+F1-6 for tty shells and Ctrl+Alt+F7 to get back to the running X session | 05:26 |
| Fragsworth | The whole system freezes up and I can't do anything | 05:26 |
| gandhi | yeah, wine is annoying that way | 05:26 |
| Fragsworth | Is there some other way to obtain a terminal? | 05:26 |
| mobi-sheep | Fragsworth: Sometimes you can ssh in. | 05:26 |
| gandhi | nope, if your computer totally locks up | 05:26 |
| soreau | Fragsworth: If wine is locking up X, its likely a graphics driver problem | 05:26 |
| gandhi | you can't do anything from there | 05:27 |
| Fragsworth | mobi-sheep: that's a great idea, thanks | 05:27 |
| soreau | !ssh | Fragsworth | 05:27 |
| ubottu | Fragsworth: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for client usage. Putty is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) | 05:27 |
| Flannel | Fragsworth: you should also look into REISUB | 05:28 |
| Flannel | !reisub | Fragsworth | 05:28 |
| ubottu | Fragsworth: In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key | 05:28 |
| Gamarok__ | guys what differences should i be looking for in 9.10 has anyone tried the beta | 05:28 |
| Flannel | Gamarok__: There is no beta yet. But you should ask in #ubuntu+1 | 05:28 |
| gandhi | well its a new kernel and it uses ext4 | 05:28 |
| gandhi | though if you really want a new kernel and ext4, you can install it in 9.04 | 05:28 |
| gandhi | i just did a fresh install with ext4 | 05:28 |
| mobi-sheep | Gamarok__: http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/karmic/alpha5 | 05:29 |
| Ramady | Thanks but kppp and wvdial are ok but I want to use the network applet to connect | 05:29 |
| Gamarok__ | hows ext4 workin i mean any glitches with the filesystem gandhi | 05:29 |
| gandhi | nope, very solid so far | 05:29 |
| gandhi | and quick | 05:29 |
| gandhi | quite fast | 05:29 |
| fccf | gandhi: please read the IRC Guidelines before providing help ... and don't use !enter all the time ... see I use dot dot dot | 05:29 |
| fccf | !enter | gandhi | 05:30 |
| ubottu | gandhi: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 05:30 |
| fccf | Ramady: 3G is a whole different animal ... the network applet wasn't setup for that (yet) | 05:31 |
| beruchtigte | i format my hard disk to ext3 ,is there anyway i can get my data back ? | 05:32 |
| mobi-sheep | !recover | beruchtigte | 05:32 |
| ubottu | beruchtigte: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel | 05:32 |

| Ramady | Sorry but what is the broadband tab is for | 05:33 |
| fccf | Ramady: I said yet ... that is a very very new feature and isn't completly implemented for all 3g cards yet | 05:34 |
| Chascon | Does Chromium suffer from the same privacy issues that google chrome does? | 05:35 |
| Ramady | Ok then the only option is kppp or wvdial | 05:35 |
| === zero is now known as Guest42893 | ||

| igorgue | hi, I'm trying to use gnu/screen | 05:36 |
| fccf | Ramady: for now yes ... be thankful ... I remember when it took 10 techs to figure out a wifi connection on linux | 05:36 |
| igorgue | and ctrl+a bind to another thing | 05:37 |
| igorgue | it goes to the start of the line | 05:37 |
| gandhi | i remember having to use ndiswrapper, that was inconvenient | 05:37 |
| fccf | !enter | igorgue | 05:37 |
| Jorsher | haha ghandhi | 05:37 |
| ubottu | igorgue: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 05:37 |
| Jorsher | my first experience with linux was ubuntu | 05:37 |
| Jorsher | and...horrible, ndiswrapper, linksys wifi card :/ | 05:37 |
| gandhi | yeah, i had one of those pcmcia linksys cards, so i was using ndiswrapper also | 05:38 |
| Jorsher | said forget it and went back to xp | 05:38 |

| Ramady | you are right but we all like the better | 05:38 |
| fccf | Jorsher: please stop dogging on my fav operating system, and go play with your windows box | 05:38 |
| Jorsher | fccf - no | 05:38 |
| igorgue | hi, I'm trying to use gnu/screen, and ctrl+a is bind to another thing, it goes to the start of the line, any advice? I know how to change that key in Screen but I want to use the default | 05:38 |
| Jorsher | i'm telling of an experience i had | 05:39 |
| Jorsher | if you don't like it, tough | 05:39 |
| Jorsher | i have no problem with linux, but that was a horrible experience :P | 05:39 |
| mobi-sheep | igorgue: Unbind Ctrl + A to something else? | 05:39 |
| fccf | !ot | Jorsher | 05:39 |

| Jorsher | rent-an-op? | 05:40 |
| igorgue | mobi-sheep: how do you do that in gnome? | 05:40 |
| mobi-sheep | igorgue: Maybe shortcuts. | 05:41 |
| mobi-sheep | !shortcut | igorgue | 05:41 |
| ubottu | igorgue: Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at http://keytouch.sourceforge.net - See !Keyboard for changing layouts | 05:41 |
| fccf | Jorsher: Friendly tech that likes to keep #ubuntu friendly .. and not full of horror stories about peoples problems... I fix problems ... I am also a volunteer, I do this for fun | 05:41 |
| bruce_ | i've got a good one to put out here. i want to setup a 320gb usb hd to multiboot livecd's. how would i do it? | 05:41 |

| biovore | bruce_: I been thinking of messing with that as well.. Not a simple thing to do.. needs some grub magic and some knowledge of how the different installers work. | 05:42 |
| igorgue | mobi-sheep: probably I had it configured to another key on my screen conf | 05:42 |
| gilbert813 | hey can anyone help me with a fresh 9.04 install? | 05:43 |

| quentusrex | Anyone know how to get nvidia-glx-ia32 for ubuntu 9.04? | 05:43 |
| fccf | !details | xnockout | 05:43 |
| ubottu | xnockout: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 05:43 |
| Jorsher | newbie - be careful, don't mention that OS | 05:43 |
| mobi-sheep | igorgue: You can use Home/Page Up/Page Down/End. Useful in nano, man, etc. ;) | 05:44 |
| bruce_ | biovore, i'm thinking of putting a couple of popular distros on like ubuntu (of course), fedora, centos, etc. how much do u know about grub? | 05:44 |
| Newbie_ | why? | 05:44 |
| Wildbat | question~ is there any graphic driver needed for IGP i945? | 05:44 |
| Wildbat | for 9.04 | 05:44 |
| biovore | bruce_: I have done it with the ubuntu installer.. Thats as far as I got to work. | 05:44 |
| fccf | Newbie_: don''t listen to him .... do you press ESC to get to the OS screen? | 05:44 |
| Newbie_ | no | 05:45 |
| gilbert813 | I'm trying to do a fresh install of 9.04 jaunty jackalope, and after I select install and the boot screen comes up, my monitor idles | 05:45 |
| mobi-sheep | Newbie_: You installed Ubuntu first and Windows 7 second? | 05:45 |
| fccf | !intel | Wildbat | 05:45 |
| gilbert813 | and the screen goes black | 05:45 |
| ubottu | Wildbat: Ubuntu 9.04 has a known regression for some Intel graphics support. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/IntelPerformance and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582 for more information. | 05:45 |
| comrade_tuttle | Is there any kind of system restore option for ubuntu? I kinda screwed up my lib files trying to get a game to work and now i can undo what has been done. | 05:45 |
| Newbie_ | it doesnt even give me a list...it just boots straight to jaunty | 05:45 |
| Newbie_ | yes | 05:45 |

| mobi-sheep | Newbie_: I prefer we keep it here. That way, you get more contribution and knowledges to make an informed decisions. | 05:50 |
| gilbert813 | and the screen goes black | 05:50 |
| wizzo50 | comrade tuttle Yes, it has an Audio input and Video Input | 05:50 |
| Newbie_ | ok | 05:50 |
| nephlim | upgrading from ibex to jaunty, old hard drive to new harddrive. I want to encrypt the new drive, then just CP home and root. is there anything I should know to make this go smoothly? | 05:50 |
| Sir_Brizz | does anyone know how to set up some kind of temporary or network-based hosts file? | 05:50 |
| gilbert813 | can anyone help me with this? | 05:50 |
| biovore | bruce_: interms of getting a installer bootstraped.. it won't help.. You will need to steel all the kernels from all the different installers in have them in a directory and have grub show a list of them. Then the file contents of each distro could be on there own partion on the harddisk. The trick is that the distroinstall will have to be able to figure out what parition you put it in. | 05:50 |

| Newbie_ | my pc boots straight into jaunty and i have added windows 7 to "menu.lst" | 05:51 |
| mobi-sheep | nephlim: You probably want to use Ubuntu Alternative ISO to make encrypted system. | 05:51 |
| biovore | bruce_: basically you will need to modify the installer for each distro a bit to make it work. | 05:51 |
| nephlim | mobi-sheep, right, got that | 05:51 |
| wizzo50 | comrade_tuttle: No it doesn't | 05:51 |
| nephlim | mobi-sheep, I was going to format, encrypt and partition the new, boot via old, and cp old to new, and install the MBR on new. that should work right? | 05:52 |
| bruce_ | biovore: ooooh that sounds like a challenge....I think I'm up to it...Thanks for my next project. | 05:52 |
| mobi-sheep | nephlim: Backing up home directory should be enough. However, if you wish to backup your /root -- Feel free to do so (in case something breaks). | 05:52 |
| biovore | bruce_: yeah not a simple thing to work on. | 05:52 |
| fccf | bruce_: here's an option ... ultimatebootdisk ... and have it point to mount and boot the 300+ iso's that are on the disk, you'd have to remaster the ubd with the instructions for ubd | 05:52 |
| shazbotmcnasty | I'm thinkin' about install DD-WRT on my router, but the 'supported hardware' page doesn't list my router as working or not working. | 05:52 |

| mobi-sheep | shazbotmcnasty: Not the right place. Refer to dd-wrt irc channel (if any). | 05:53 |
| comrade_tuttle | wizzo50: then you will need something like this http://www.amazon.com/6ft-component-video-cable-HD15/dp/B000FM3EQ0 | 05:53 |

| comrade_tuttle | so is there any way for me to restore my system to an earlier setting to fix my screwed up lib files? | 05:54 |
| mobi-sheep | Newbie_: You pressed ESC at grub bootup, right? | 05:54 |
| mobi-sheep | Newbie_: To get a list of choices. | 05:54 |
| comrade_tuttle | or should i just reinstall | 05:54 |
| nephlim | mobi-sheep, I can. I just want to take all my settings like smb.conf and what not, and all of home, and put it on a new, encrypted, bigger, drive | 05:54 |
| Newbie_ | no | 05:54 |
| nephlim | i'm just tring to decide on the best way to do this | 05:54 |
| xikteny | nephlim: if you want to use the copied system, you will need to update the uuids in /et/fstab, I think | 05:54 |
| MadSeaDog | i folks i've messed with the name of the computer now i get sudo: unable to resolve host i.rock.your.world at each time i sudo... | 05:54 |

| strongsoul | fccf, 9.04 | 05:57 |
| mobi-sheep | !tty | nephlim | 05:57 |
| ubottu | nephlim: To get to the TTY terminals 1-6, use the keystroke ctrl + alt + F1-F6 respectively (Alt+F7 will get you back to your graphical login). To change the resolution for your TTY, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution. | 05:57 |
| ctmjr | fccf: thanks | 05:57 |
| k1en | Ghalinger, i think just apache would do | 05:58 |

| afallenhope | what's the difference between primary and logical partitions? | 05:58 |
| Ghalinger | k1en, thankyou :-) | 05:58 |
| comrade_tuttle | wizzo50: component for like HD, you can use that or if you can find a VGA - A/V cable that should work too. | 05:58 |
| error404notfound | anyone could help with: http://pastebin.ca/1560754 ? | 05:58 |
| mobi-sheep | nephlim: Basically, you want to do it on tty... but if you don't know tty, use liveCD. I suppose. | 05:58 |
| biovore | afallenhope: a HD can only do 4 partitions. extended partitions are sub partitions in one of the 4 primary partitions. | 05:59 |
| mobi-sheep | nephlim: It's a terminal. Really. | 05:59 |
| strongsoul | fccf, OK | 05:59 |
| nephlim | mobi-sheep, oh, that's easy enough | 05:59 |
| fccf | strongsoul: copy text here http://paste.ubuntu.com/267718/ to /etc/wvdial.conf and run wvdial.conf and see what happens ... put your username and password in if any or erase the ###'s | 05:59 |
| afallenhope | biovore so should I partition everything on the logical parition (installing ubuntu) | 05:59 |
| arunsukesan | Is there any way to download the ubuntu documentation and the community documentation | 06:00 |

| fccf | !man | arunsukesan | 06:02 |
| ubottu | arunsukesan: The "man" command brings up the Linux manual pages for the command you're interested in. Try "man intro" at the command line, or see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | Manpages online: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/ | 06:02 |
| mobi-sheep | nephlim: Not really. The only thing I keep is /home and occasionally few other things. I have 2TB HDD so I'm not concerned about storages. :) | 06:02 |

| fccf | arunsukesan: uh .. wget http://wiki.ubuntu.com/ -R ... this would take all night and then some .. you will need alot of space | 06:03 |
| mobi-sheep | nephlim: I don't use conky, samba, or apache frequently. Sometimes you can place them in your home directory... Read manuals for that. | 06:04 |
| fufu | can you install LAMP from the add/remove programs? | 06:04 |
| jzacsh | i found a forum where someone did "stop", than the person helping said "bad idea, but sounds like your issue is hardware anyways," so he didn't go on to explain what the solution to pumping out that command is | 06:04 |

| KB1JWQ | fufu: Not a clue. | 06:17 |
| rygot | fufu it's a setting in your client | 06:17 |

| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about penis | 06:18 |
| Wiseman | I DISAGREE | 06:18 |
| oobe | lol ubottu said penis | 06:18 |
| bazhang | Wiseman, stop that | 06:18 |
| Flannel | Wiseman: Please stop that | 06:18 |
| === ohol1ks is now known as chol | ||

| rygot | just kick them | 06:18 |
| bazhang | oobe, you too | 06:18 |
| rygot | save us all time | 06:18 |
| jzacsh | anyone tell me how to fix this - i screwed up with: sudo /etc/init.d/xorg/restart (or xorg.cong/restart - i cna't remember). i don't know what that command even screwed up | 06:18 |
| oobe | jzacsh, like i said thats not really a question | 06:19 |
| mobi-sheep | jzacsh: Reboot the machine? | 06:19 |
| === Irishmanluke is now known as Sailormoon | ||
| oobe | sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart will fix it | 06:19 |
| jzacsh | oobe yes! that's actually the command that got me into trouble. now i boot into the partition and get nothing | 06:20 |
| oobe | doesnt sound like that is what caused it | 06:20 |
| jzacsh | i was trying to lookup ways to configure my resolution, and found a thread with a similar command in it | 06:20 |
| Dayofswords | sudo make me a sandwich | 06:20 |
| prince_jammys | jzacsh: that command just restarts X. you must have done something else before that. | 06:20 |
| oobe | sounds like thats the last thing you remember doing before it messed up | 06:20 |
| jing | hi all can anyone recommend an amazon S3 filesystem | 06:20 |
| KB1JWQ | jing: What're the choices? | 06:21 |
| oobe | jzacsh, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xorg | 06:21 |
| jzacsh | that's what i thought. okay. thank you :) | 06:21 |
| Flannel | oobe: Please join #ubuntu-ops | 06:21 |
| oobe | sorry make that sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 06:21 |
| jing | e3fs and e3fuse-fs i think | 06:21 |
| === bullgard is now known as bullgard4 | ||
| oobe | that will make you a new xorg.conf | 06:21 |
| === Sailormoon is now known as Irishmanluke | ||
| jing | ive never used any of them and was hoping that someone may have used an Amazon S3 fs | 06:22 |
| jzacsh | oobe can i do that externally? as in... w/a live CD, and specify that command^ be implimented onto the partition in trouble | 06:22 |
| jzacsh | ? | 06:22 |
| fufu | what is CTCP? and why am I receiving from people? | 06:22 |
| mobi-sheep | fufu: It mean the people are too noisy. | 06:23 |
| rygot | fufu it allows people to see your version and other information | 06:23 |
| _Loki | 4 | 06:23 |
| rygot | fufu when you asked to stop the leaving messages someone must have wanted to see what IRC client you were using | 06:23 |
| oobe | jzacsh, you should be able to still get a console screen from your existing install | 06:23 |
| mobi-sheep | fufu: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Client-To-Client_Protocol | 06:23 |
| fufu | yes it was u | 06:23 |
| fufu | haha | 06:23 |
| rygot | fufu yes :) | 06:24 |
| oobe | otherwise it may be more complicate than fixing xorg | 06:24 |
| jzacsh | oobe, i assume you mean chaning session type before logging in, however - after choosing my boot selection in GRUB, nothing happens - just a black screen | 06:24 |
| rygot | fufu your client didn't fill me with confidence | 06:24 |
| oobe | jzacsh, sounds like you the system isnt booting at all | 06:24 |
| dsdeiz | how cute. response is "Purple IRC" | 06:25 |
| oobe | the simplest solution would be to reinstall | 06:25 |
| oobe | however you can boot a live cd and try to repair it | 06:25 |
| strongsoul | fccf you thetre ? | 06:25 |
| jzacsh | oobe, okay - so what i did shouldn't be causing this kind of result? it must be something else? (because the XP partition sitting on the same drive boots fine from GRUB) | 06:25 |
| fufu | what? r u talking about pidgin? | 06:26 |
| oobe | jzacsh, yeah exactly it should be quite easy to fix if it was merely a mis configure xorg | 06:26 |
| Idle-Pidgin | fufu not sure if you figured it out but there is a plugin you need to enable in pidgin " Join/Part Hiding" | 06:26 |
| oobe | sounds like it could be somthing more serious | 06:26 |
| the|cheat | jzacsh: I read part of what you're saying, when you boot to graphics nothing is happening, but you can boot to a terminal for ubuntu right? | 06:27 |
| Jimbo | noob question, why is it that ubunto won't accept what i enter as the gateway for my LAN? | 06:27 |
| oobe | jzacsh, boot a live cd a see if you can chroot into you existing install please google some instructions google ubuntu livecd chroot repair | 06:27 |
| fufu | idle-pidgin thanks, i checked it.. i guess it works now | 06:27 |
| Jimbo | it just goes back to 0.0.0.0 | 06:27 |
| jzacsh | the|cheat, no - the boot doesn't make it past GRUB | 06:27 |
| Idle-Pidgin | fufu if your not seing the joins and parts yes it is. if you want a more full featured irc client install xchat-common | 06:28 |
| the|cheat | oobe: shouldn't jzacsh he be able to try safe mode and do a xorg repaire from there? | 06:29 |
| rygot | Jimbo I don't know how you are configuring it, but you can see if the gateway is changed by the console command "sudo route add default gw <yourGatewayIP>" | 06:29 |
| jzacsh | thecheat, failsafe terminal (if that's what you mean) doesn't work, i've used it before for other situations - but this is different, i don't get anywhere past grub | 06:29 |
| jzacsh | oobe, I'll definitely look this up. thanks for all the help :) cheers! | 06:30 |
| oobe | the|cheat, yes but his system doesnt get passed grub so xorg is the least of his problems | 06:30 |

| === clown is now known as Guest78746 | ||

| miguelonnnn | hi please, 1 question: in networkmanager there are many options for introducing wifi passwds. Two of them are passphrase and bit key. I thought passphrase was the only coded into a hard password, but bit key also gets coded( for example 12345 goes to 333758392) so what's the difference between bit-key and passphrase? | 06:34 |
| === jean-claude is now known as sexe | ||

| oobe | GhostWolfy, find out your modem routers model number and see if its here http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/routerindex.htm | 06:35 |
| afallenhope | installed fine | 06:35 |
| rygot | GhostWolfy type "sudo iptables -L" and post the output to a pastebin | 06:35 |
| Shanebe | GhostWolfy yes, by default you have ufw | 06:36 |
| rygot | GhostWolfy but it will be a port-forwarding issue with your router | 06:36 |
| GhostWolfy | oboe i know what my modem is its a 2wire modem | 06:36 |
| rygot | GhostWolfy the model | 06:36 |
| fufu | does anyone know what sudo tasksel would do? some1 told me I should run that to install LAMP | 06:36 |
| fufu | i have a feeling its fake | 06:36 |

| fufu | i mean 9.04 | 06:38 |
| oobe | GhostWolfy, nice | 06:38 |
| rygot | GhostWolfy whatever. I'll tell you once again - it's a port forwarding issue with your router. Find out the model. I'll bet you have to connect to it on "http://172.16.0.1/". If you get that far, ask how to configure the port forwarding | 06:38 |
| oobe | GhostWolfy, should have step by step instructions with screen shots then | 06:38 |
| Jerusalem420 | i just bought a router. TP-link. i have the quick setup guide for windblows, which doesn't help. can someone point me to a page on how to set it up? i can only find pages about using an ubuntu box as a router | 06:39 |
| GhostWolfy | well rygot its not even working its not even connecting | 06:40 |
| eXapid | Someone recommend a decent mp3 player? rythmjukebox is giving me the shits :( | 06:40 |
| Jerusalem420 | what don't u like about it eXapid? | 06:40 |
| fufu | ah! in this tutorial I see, its telling me to use the Aptitude package installer, i will try it | 06:40 |
| fufu | ! | 06:40 |
| oobe | Jerusalem420, you shouldnt need to do much special make sure your eth0 device is set to auto | 06:40 |
| Techie | is anyone able to help me with locating drivers for my wireless card, it uses the Marvell 8338 chipset and if i cant get drivers i will most likely switch said box to windows | 06:40 |
| rygot | GhostWolfy because you don't have a 172.16.0.0 adress on the interface | 06:40 |
| oobe | and you should be able to find your routers ip | 06:40 |
| Shanebe | fufu good stuff! | 06:41 |
| KB1JWQ | Techie: May I suggest windows. Marvell has always been dicey. | 06:41 |
| GhostWolfy | so rygot why did you ask me to connect to it then | 06:41 |
| rygot | GhostWolfy sorry, I stupidly assumed you knew a little about networking | 06:41 |
| eXapid | im trying to pull filles off a server and its trying to import filetypes that are not mp3, its taking hours to add them to the play list | 06:41 |

| GhostWolfy | rygot i don't know alot about networking im even having issues getting my two computers to network each other.. | 06:42 |
| rygot | GhostWolfy I'll bet. Ok, just for you, I'll PM you through it. | 06:42 |
| fufu | is "sudo su" the same thing as "root" ???? | 06:42 |
| oobe | rygot, 172.16.0.0 is not a standard gateway ip it could be 192.168.1.1 or so on | 06:42 |
| rygot | GhostWolfy just write it all down, or copy and paste what I tell you. It'll come in handy | 06:42 |
| rygot | oobe it should be, but some of those 2wires use 172.16.0.0 - go figure | 06:42 |
| syntex | fufu: Yes. | 06:42 |
| GhostWolfy | rygot don't worry oobe gave me that link and has a step by step on the port forwarding problem which i wanna deal with first | 06:43 |
| Techie | KB1JWQ, is there any version of windows that you would suggest for running a server, im quite fond of XP but im not so sure on how well ti would run as a server | 06:43 |
| rygot | GhostWolfy the directions I give you will solve all your networking problems in total | 06:43 |
| Shanebe | fufu sudo <command> is do a command as if you were the root user. sudo su is using the 'su' command, which basically transforms you into another user.. usage: sudo su <username> (like root) | 06:43 |
| syntex | Techie: Server 2003 or 2008. | 06:43 |
| rygot | GhostWolfy don't aim for the "quick fix" with linux. Aim to understand what you are doing and it all becomes easier | 06:43 |
| GhostWolfy | rygot ok well i can't deal with the networking problem right now sorry | 06:43 |
| KB1JWQ | Techie: Yeah. Anything with the word "Server" in it. | 06:43 |
| rygot | GhostWolfy lol you are dealing with a networking problem | 06:44 |
| Techie | syntex, given that the box is a 2.6ghz p4 with 512mb RAM | 06:44 |
| syntex | Techie: Desktop OS's don't support dhcp, dns, etc... | 06:44 |
| fufu | ty brown people | 06:44 |
| syntex | Techie: Yes. Server 2003 runs on increadibly small specs. | 06:44 |
| GhostWolfy | first you tell me its a port forwarding problem now you telling me its networking.. wth dude.. how is networking anything to do with me wanting to view someone's webcam on amsn?? | 06:44 |
| Techie | syntex, i dont need a dhcp server or anything like that, it runs inside a pre defined network | 06:44 |
| === zefyx is now known as _zefyx | ||
| linuxguy2009 | Do I need to have samba installed on both ubuntu machines in a network to be able to see a samba sharded folder? | 06:44 |

| KB1JWQ | Techie: ##windows is over there... | 06:45 |
| rygot | Techie what services do you actally want to run? | 06:45 |
| GhostWolfy | well i don't need to bother with the webcam issue lol | 06:45 |
| Techie | rygot, mainly game servers, media shares and the like | 06:45 |
| afallenhope | anyone know if the updates install the b43 driver + fw? | 06:45 |
| afallenhope | or do I have to do that manually? | 06:45 |
| Imaginativeone | I'm LOVING 9 | 06:45 |
| rygot | Techie personal use? | 06:45 |
| Techie | rygot, yes | 06:46 |
| KB1JWQ | rygot, Techie: Seriously. ##windows. That way. :-) | 06:46 |
| Techie | KB1JWQ, im already in there, but i would ask them the time of day | 06:46 |
| rygot | Techie then XP will be fine. Plus what KB1JWQ said | 06:46 |
| GhostWolfy | and sorry if im being a mule rygot but if you do wanna help me with the networking you can pm me if you want to help me | 06:46 |
| Jerusalem420 | I just updated /etc/network/interfaces. how i do iget the changes to take effect on the system? | 06:46 |
| rygot | GhostWolfy hmm, let me think ... | 06:46 |
| KB1JWQ | Techie: I don't see you in there... | 06:47 |
| rygot | GhostWolfy ok then | 06:47 |
| GhostWolfy | rygot if you don't i understand i know i was being an ass just certain things i don't understand | 06:47 |
| KB1JWQ | Jerusalem420: service network restart | 06:47 |
| KB1JWQ | Jerusalem420: Maybe service networking restart | 06:47 |
| Jerusalem420 | which i do how? | 06:47 |
| jamesbrink | this channel is boring | 06:47 |
| oobe | GhostWolfy, it is a networking problem solved by port forwarding incedently amsn won show up on the list of programs but you should be able to read any of them as an example as they are mostly the same amsn's port is 6891 | 06:47 |
| Jerusalem420 | james this channel rocks the casba! | 06:47 |
| rygot | jamesbrink yeah, it gets better when you can read | 06:47 |

| rygot | G-man it's about what Window Manager/Desktop you want | 06:54 |
| oobe | lol great minds prince_jammys | 06:54 |
| afallenhope | G-man because it's the most common. xubuntu uses xcfe ubuntu uses gnome (default) and kubuntu uses kde | 06:54 |
| IdleOne | G-man: xubuntu use XFCE which is a window manager it is designed to be used on lower spec machines but alot of people use it because the like the look and feel | 06:54 |

| nephlim | !primary | 07:01 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about primary | 07:01 |
| Gnea | IdleOne: I'd go so far as to say it's a step below RTFM. it's not even trying to help, it's simple ignorance and flat-out disrespect. | 07:01 |
| nephlim | bollocks | 07:01 |
| rygot | jamesbrink oh, I'm sorry sweetie. How can I help you? | 07:01 |

| WishingMaster | i have an issue with graphics driver | 07:01 |
| nephlim | !logical partition | 07:02 |

| IdleOne | nephlim: ask your question please or use /msg ubottu search-term | 07:02 |
| jamesbrink | Gnea: im using default drivers, but no i have not tried removing the sli connector. I really did not want to open the box back up | 07:02 |
| rygot | ... | 07:02 |
| jamesbrink | i was just curious if anyone else had similar config without issues | 07:02 |
| IdleOne | rygot: may I message you? | 07:02 |
| rygot | IdleOne no. Thank you for asking first though. | 07:03 |
| Gnea | jamesbrink: okay. another thing to try then would be to boot it without the 'quiet splash' options (so that you can see all the text when it does boot - maybe it will show you the error then) | 07:03 |
| WishingMaster | i want to know the command to find out broken packages and to repair them | 07:03 |
| IdleOne | rygot: sure thing :) | 07:03 |
| marekw2143 | hi all, does somedoby here can recommend ubuntu as a web server? | 07:03 |
| rygot | IdleOne of course | 07:03 |
| leave | marekw2143, use minihttp | 07:03 |
| jamesbrink | oh actually Gnea it will boot, its loading xorg that causes it to hang.. im gona check the logs real quick.. but im betting they are empty | 07:04 |
| Gnea | jamesbrink: sounds good | 07:04 |
| jamesbrink | when i first updated gui failed to load so i issued Xorg -configre and moved it to ect/X11/xorg.conf | 07:04 |
| oobe | marekw2143, im sure if you ask enough people someone will i personally use it as a web server | 07:04 |
| marekw2143 | leave: what's that? | 07:04 |
| leave | marekw2143, minihttpd is a mini web server | 07:05 |
| Gnea | jamesbrink: aaah - that would probably be why. the better way to reconfigure X in ubuntu, these days, is like this: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg | 07:05 |
| Gnea | jamesbrink: not sure if that'll do it or not, but worth a shot | 07:06 |
| MadSeaDog | any way to find a file that have a certain line of text by the line of text? | 07:06 |
| jamesbrink | cool yeah i will try that next boot | 07:06 |
| jamesbrink | right now im just falling back on original kernel | 07:06 |
| marekw2143 | oobe: do you have any comparance between others os'es? | 07:06 |
| jamesbrink | thanks Gnea | 07:06 |
| marekw2143 | leave: I'll use apache | 07:07 |
| syntex | If I installed sidux linux onto a free partion, would I have to reinstall grub? | 07:07 |
| mafjus | Hey guys, Do any of you know if there is a plugin or a FileBrowser app that have a shell cmd field, so you can run certain commands directly from the browser gui ? | 07:07 |
| leave | marekw2143, apache is fine | 07:08 |
| oobe | marekw2143, no offence but your questions are quite vague what you need to do is figure out exactly what you want your server and see if you ubuntu can do it ( but the answer will be yes) as it has a very large repository of software and is highly configuable with loads of documentation | 07:08 |
| IdleOne | syntex: does sydux also use grub? | 07:09 |
| WishingMaster | hello | 07:09 |
| afallenhope | figured it out ty | 07:09 |
| wei | yes | 07:09 |

| pythagoras | anyone know how to fix audio in Ubantu | 07:13 |
| marekw2143 | oobe: i'll see, but generally what is "ubuntu" when talking about web server? in my opinion is package manager and package repository, and some libraries to connect to network. Does it differ in any other aspects from other distributions when talking about web server? | 07:13 |
| wei | WHAT TO DO TOTEM | 07:13 |
| IdleOne | !sound | pythagoras | 07:13 |
| ubottu | pythagoras: 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 | 07:13 |

| vadviktor | nephlim: my personal favourite is sha, but I might be outdated | 07:14 |
| wangjian2012 | mldonkey电驴如何安装 | 07:14 |
| IdleOne | ~/.jockey maybe | 07:14 |
| MadSeaDog | legend2440, thanks but it doesn't output anything... i have an error when sudoing... sudo: unable to resolve host tested.computer.name | 07:14 |
| wei | 好难呀 | 07:14 |
| mostafa_ | IdleOne: let me check | 07:14 |
| nephlim | vadviktor, this for an install of a new system. first time doin disk encryption | 07:14 |
| leave | wangjian2012, sudo apt-get install mldonkey | 07:14 |
| nephlim | those 4 are my only options :/ | 07:14 |
| oobe | marekw2143, the main diffence in all distros is how fast you can get apache sql and php running using there package management and defautl config's | 07:14 |
| legend2440 | MadSeaDog: can i pm? | 07:14 |
| MadSeaDog | i though grep -n -i 'tested.computer.name' i would find the config file that still use it... | 07:15 |
| mostafa_ | IdleOne: there is no such folder there | 07:15 |
| MadSeaDog | legend2440, go ahead... | 07:15 |
| oobe | marekw2143, but the end result is much the same | 07:15 |
| vadviktor | honestly, there is no unbreakable encryption as of today on the public market, so sha is my choice for encrypting | 07:16 |
| vadviktor | it really depends on the complexity and length of the password | 07:16 |
| leave | marekw2143, for company ubuntu-server will be better | 07:16 |
| mobi-sheep | vavar: http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2005/02/sha1_broken.html ? | 07:16 |
| mobi-sheep | vadviktor: ^^ | 07:16 |
| marekw2143 | leave: why do you think so? | 07:16 |
| IdleOne | mostafa_: I don't know | 07:17 |
| vadviktor | and feel free to correct my please as I am no expert on this matter | 07:17 |
| nephlim | aes is pretty good right? | 07:17 |
| mostafa_ | IdleOne: thnx 4 your response | 07:17 |
| mostafa_ | do anyone know where jockey save the downloaded files? | 07:17 |
| vadviktor | yep, i use it for files | 07:17 |
| mobi-sheep | mostafa_: Jockey does not download packages. | 07:17 |
| leave | ubuntu-server always run 3 or 4 even more month | 07:18 |
| vadviktor | my ssh keys are encrypted on a backup drive with it :) | 07:18 |
| mostafa_ | mobi-sheep: then how it can install my VGA? | 07:18 |
| leave | marekw2143, ubuntu-server always run 3 or 4 even more month,and PC don't | 07:18 |
| nephlim | do you guys encrypt swap also? | 07:18 |
| marekw2143 | oobe: did you do a lot of configuration for the network and security of the system? | 07:19 |
| vadviktor | nephlim: no need | 07:19 |
| nephlim | vadviktor, ok | 07:19 |
| nephlim | thanks | 07:19 |
| vadviktor | np :) | 07:19 |
| nephlim | but def root... and home, of course | 07:19 |
| mostafa_ | mobi-sheep: r u there? | 07:20 |
| vadviktor | encrypt on those partitions that contain sensitive data as encryption slows down system performance | 07:20 |
| ikonia | nephlim: why encypt root ? | 07:20 |
| mostafa_ | do anyone know where jockey save the downloaded files? | 07:20 |
| * nephlim is doing an encrypted drive for the first time | 07:20 | |
| prince_jammys | mostafa_: see if you have man pages for it (like jockey-gtk), and at the bottom see if there's a FILES section. | 07:20 |
| mobi-sheep | mostafa_: Yes. I do not understand your question. | 07:20 |
| mobi-sheep | !info jockey-common | mostafa_ | 07:20 |
| ubottu | mostafa_: jockey-common (source: jockey): user interface and desktop integration for driver management. In component main, is optional. Version 0.5-0ubuntu10 (jaunty), package size 133 kB, installed size 1520 kB | 07:20 |
| nephlim | no need then, ikonia | 07:20 |
| nephlim | ? | 07:20 |
| ikonia | nephlim: you tell me ? why would you encrypt root | 07:21 |
| nephlim | i'm not sure, im not a power user | 07:21 |
| ikonia | nephlim: then don't encrypt anything | 07:21 |
| rygot | could a chinese speaker tell wei to join #ubuntu-cn please | 07:21 |
| mobi-sheep | ikonia: I think he was referring to what to back up. | 07:21 |
| ikonia | mobi-sheep: he seems pretty sure encyption is what he's wanting | 07:21 |
| mobi-sheep | Yup. | 07:22 |
| ob1 | . | 07:22 |
| nephlim | yeah, i wanted encryption. just making sure i'm doing it right | 07:22 |
| nephlim | didin't want to shoot myself in the foot | 07:22 |
| mobi-sheep | nephlim: There are (automated) guided encryption option, I believe. | 07:22 |
| ikonia | nephlim: if you have no need, don't encypt anything | 07:23 |
| ikonia | nephlim: most users will not have a need | 07:23 |
| NeroGoth | Hello just have a quick question if someone can help (yes I am a noob) | 07:23 |
| nephlim | ikonia, i do have a need | 07:23 |
| marekw2143 | what is a difference between ubuntu server and "normal" ubuntu? Only preinstalled packages ? | 07:23 |
| nephlim | NeroGoth, just ask | 07:24 |
| ikonia | nephlim: what is your need ? | 07:24 |
| ikonia | marekw2143: the server installation is also optimised for enterprise class hardware, if you are running on home PC kit, the desktop option would be a better option | 07:25 |
| nephlim | i need to justify my need for security? | 07:25 |
| NeroGoth | I can Create or Make a Link of a file or such, how do I edit that link? Or better yet see where it is linked to so I know where the file actually exist. For example my link to FoxFire, but where is the bin and so forth, easiest solution, look at where the launching link goes, but hwo do I do that? | 07:25 |
| ikonia | nephlim: well yes as it's clear your not confident with what you're doing, it may help | 07:25 |
| marekw2143 | ikonia: what does it mean that it's optimized? | 07:25 |
| ikonia | marekw2143: certain kernel options are enabled, | 07:26 |
| nephlim | ikonia, the ability to drive does not negate the need or desire, does it? | 07:26 |
| ikonia | nephlim: if you could explain your need we may be able to better guide you | 07:26 |
| nephlim | i just want security and I've never done and ENTIRE disk encryption | 07:26 |
| marekw2143 | can enable them when compiling kernel in desktop distro too? | 07:26 |
| ikonia | nephlim: ok - do it then | 07:26 |
| NeroGoth | FYI From GUI please | 07:27 |
| Gelegrodan | nephlim: try truecrypt or cryptsetup | 07:27 |
| mobi-sheep | marekw2143: http://tinyurl.com/nqdwur | 07:27 |
| ikonia | marekw2143: you can but if you're kernel compiling you're pretty much defeating the object of pre-packaged distros | 07:27 |
| nephlim | i don't mean to be sassy or anything, i'm just green with this kind of operation | 07:27 |
| === mike is now known as Guest94278 | ||
| nephlim | Gelegrodan, aye, great program | 07:27 |
| ikonia | nephlim: yes, it's not a beginners topic really | 07:27 |
| prince_jammys | NeroGoth: i don't remember if the links made by gnome are actual symlinks or .desktop files. if they are the latter, you can open them with a text editor and look at them. | 07:27 |
| ttestt | hello | 07:28 |
| mobi-sheep | nephlim: Use guided encryption system. It'll set up everything for you. It's your first time. Let it deal with it so you can see how it is... and if you're satisfied with it. It does the job. Simple as that. | 07:28 |
| === kill is now known as Guest78009 | ||

| prince_jammys | yes, i looked myself. | 07:30 |
| icecubetray | exit | 07:31 |
| ttestt | wei: you know how i can do it? | 07:32 |
| marekw2143 | does ubuntu server have stable packages? | 07:32 |
| Gnea | marekw2143: yes. | 07:32 |
| prince_jammys | i'd expect them to be 'stabler' than the desktop ones. | 07:32 |
| Gnea | prince_jammys: why? | 07:33 |
| marekw2143 | Gnea: thx ;] | 07:33 |
| gandhi_ | aren't the server releases all LTS releases? | 07:33 |
| prince_jammys | just an assumption, since it's the server edition. | 07:33 |
| Flannel | gandhi_: no | 07:33 |
| gandhi_ | oh ok, my bad | 07:33 |
| Gnea | prince_jammys: have you ever looked at the sources.list file of the desktop and server editions side-by-side? | 07:34 |
| prince_jammys | never | 07:34 |
| Flannel | prince_jammys: the repositories are the same from the desktop edition | 07:34 |
| Gnea | prince_jammys: they're identical. | 07:34 |
| prince_jammys | so much for my assumption. | 07:34 |
| Gnea | :) | 07:34 |
| prince_jammys | i figured the server ones would be like debian stable ones and desktop like testing. | 07:34 |
| prince_jammys | but i guess i just made that up. | 07:35 |
| Flannel | prince_jammys: No, if you want stable you stick to LTS | 07:35 |
| Zachk18 | what up! | 07:35 |
| Gnea | prince_jammys: anything that's officially 'Ubuntu", like 'Xubuntu', 'Kubuntu' and so on - they all use the same repositories, thus, all the same packages. | 07:35 |
| Zachk18 | so...what's goin on? | 07:35 |
| prince_jammys | Gnea: gotcha. I knew that part, but thought 'server' was something different from what it is. | 07:36 |
| Gnea | prince_jammys: try installing the same 9.04 release of various releases of Ubuntu, get them updated, then install the same package on each (say, apache2) then run an md5sum on each .deb file - guaranteed it's going to be the same on all. | 07:36 |
| Gnea | prince_jammys: nope, it's just setup differently, without a GUI and a different installer. | 07:37 |
| prince_jammys | i steer clear of 9.04 ;) | 07:37 |
| * Zachk18 is away: I am presently otherwise engaged. | 07:37 | |
| Gnea | prince_jammys: whatever floats your boat | 07:37 |
| Gnea | !away | Zachk18 | 07:37 |
| ubottu | Zachk18: You should avoid noisy away messages in a busy channel like #ubuntu, or other Ubuntu channels; it causes excessive scrolling which is unfair to new users. Use the command "/away <reason>" to set your client away silently. See also «/msg ubottu Guidelines» | 07:37 |
| prince_jammys | it definitely floats my video card's boat | 07:37 |
| Gnea | I like how 9.04 is, overall, faster. | 07:38 |
| * Zachk18 is back (gone 00:00:53) | 07:38 | |

| Zachk18 | mobi-sheep how do i do that | 07:39 |
| marekw2143 | Flannel: "if you want stable you need LTS": does it mean that on ubuntu 9.04 server there aren't stable packages? | 07:39 |
| Gnea | Zachk18: they can help you in #xchat | 07:39 |
| mobi-sheep | Zachk18: Don't use script (if you're using it). Use /away <message> instead. | 07:39 |
| Gnea | !LTS | marekw2143 | 07:39 |
| ubottu | marekw2143: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Hardy (Hardy Heron 8.04). The next LTS release is scheduled to be 10.04 | 07:39 |
| Flannel | marekw2143: No, they're stable enough. But they're newer versions. Older versions are, as a general rule, more stable. | 07:40 |
| * Zachk18 is away: <i'm gone> | 07:40 | |
| Gnea | marekw2143: just because it's not LTS doesn't mean it's not stable. | 07:40 |

| WishingMaster | Gnea,ok | 07:43 |
| Solar_Flare | Is somewhere out there in the multiverse a good stable and working ftp server? | 07:43 |
| mobi-sheep | marekw2143: Bad case design. Overheating and not enough air flows. The latter Xbox360 were a bit differently for better flowings and less CPU. More fans. | 07:43 |
| mobi-sheep | pradeep: From the panels. Gnome-panel. The bottom/top panels. | 07:44 |
| Gnea | Solar_Flare: proftpd, vsftpd | 07:44 |

| Flannel | Solar_Flare: What are you intending to use it for? actual ftp? or would sftp work just as well? | 07:44 |
| marekw2143 | mobi-sheep: ;] | 07:45 |
| Gnea | bod: use the mixer | 07:45 |
| Solar_Flare | Flannel: It should be a "real" server. Best with SSL. | 07:45 |
| Solar_Flare | or SSH. | 07:45 |
| bod | Gnea: all devices are shown as nun muted and full volume | 07:45 |
| === m0v is now known as Chacon | ||
| marekw2143 | mobi-sheep: so generally ubuntu 9.04 server is better than ubuntu 8.04 server LTS? | 07:45 |
| Gnea | bod: Master controls the whole thing, but PCM controls regular sounds and music | 07:45 |
| Flannel | Solar_Flare: Since, sftp is easier to set up, and you gain encryption | 07:45 |
| WishingMaster | is there a way to restore in ubuntu like system restore in xp? | 07:45 |
| Gnea | bod: is pulseaudio or alsa the preferred output in System->Preferences->Sound? | 07:46 |
| indus | WishingMaster: no | 07:46 |
| === xtr-II is now known as xtr | ||
| indus | WishingMaster: but there is a recovery console which might help | 07:46 |
| mobi-sheep | marekw2143: No. It shouldn't matter because you won't see GUI. You won't actively use them -- However, as for servers, you can use either. Should be okay with either too. | 07:46 |
| indus | WishingMaster: like a windows safe mode | 07:46 |
| Solar_Flare | Flannel: it should just serve files on a silver plate and prevent users from f. with my system. | 07:46 |
| Flannel | Solar_Flare: to install sftp (which is over ssh, ftps is over ssl) just install openssh-server, and voila. | 07:46 |
| bod | Gnea: what program does that run? I am not using gnome | 07:46 |
| Solar_Flare | nothing fancy with magic or something ¹^^ | 07:46 |
| WishingMaster | indus,i can log into recovery mode | 07:46 |
| Gnea | bod: what are you using? | 07:46 |
| indus | WishingMaster: and? | 07:47 |
| pradeep | anyone help me fixing my gnome panel | 07:47 |
| bod | Gnea: blackbox | 07:47 |
| netyire | can you backup all of your drivers on ubuntu? | 07:47 |
| marekw2143 | how about packages in 8.04 server LTS - can it use packages from repository of 9.04? | 07:47 |
| pradeep | can it be restored to the default panel | 07:47 |
| prince_jammys | bod: if you use alsa, 'alsamixer' | 07:47 |
| WishingMaster | indus, i can activate mu sub modem with wvdial | 07:47 |
| indus | pradeep: why what did u do | 07:47 |
| Gnea | bod: awesome! :) type this in a terminal: gnome-sound-properties | 07:47 |
| bod | prince_jammys: all sliders are full, still no sound | 07:47 |
| indus | WishingMaster: whats a sub modem? | 07:47 |
| Flannel | mezzovento: No. You shouldn't mix repository versions | 07:47 |
| WishingMaster | indus,i am sorry for that its a usb modem | 07:48 |
| pradeep | indus: i accidentally removed network notification, my battery info display etc from the panel | 07:48 |
| netyire | specifically, can I back up a wireless driver? I had to compile it from source with lots of patches to get it working and I don't want/think-I-can-remember how to get it working again if I need to in 9.10 | 07:48 |
| indus | WishingMaster: aah use network manager for this, go to mobile broadband option and do it | 07:48 |
| bod | Gnea: sorry, bare with me, have to install gnome-control-center to get that program | 07:48 |
| Gnea | marekw2143: better to use ppa software | 07:48 |
| Gnea | !ppa | marekw2143 | 07:48 |
| ubottu | marekw2143: With Launchpad's Personal Package Archives (PPA), you can build and publish binary Ubuntu packages for multiple architectures simply by uploading an Ubuntu source package to Launchpad. See https://help.launchpad.net/PPAQuickStart. | 07:48 |
| WishingMaster | indus,i told you that i can log into a non-gui session only | 07:48 |
| Gnea | bod: ok | 07:49 |
| indus | WishingMaster: ok sorry missed it | 07:49 |
| WishingMaster | indus,i dont have graphics driver installed on my sys | 07:49 |
| Gnea | marekw2143: usually ppa handles backports to LTS for newer software | 07:49 |
| indus | WishingMaster: hmm then how could you use wvdial? its cli based? | 07:49 |
| pradeep | indus:?? | 07:49 |
| WishingMaster | indus,i just type wvdial | 07:49 |
| prince_jammys | bod: what i do (maybe this is old) is asoundconf list to see the card names, then asoundconf set-default-card CARDNAME. if that doesn't work you can try sudo alsa force-reload | 07:49 |
| WishingMaster | indus,it works fine | 07:50 |
| Solar_Flare | i guess seamless mode from virtual ubuntu to actual ubuntu doesnt work too well -.- *sigh* | 07:50 |
| indus | pradeep: the network applet is a system process and you have to enable it in system>preferences>asessions | 07:50 |
| WishingMaster | indus,i want to know how to get promt after i initialize the modem through wvdial | 07:50 |
| indus | WishingMaster: what prompt? | 07:51 |
| WishingMaster | indus, line where i can type a command | 07:51 |
| indus | WishingMaster: hmm you said you type wvdial in recovery console? | 07:51 |

| marekw2143 | Zachk18: no, postgres | 08:02 |

| Zachk18 | marekw2143: ok nevermind then | 08:02 |
| rygot | marekw2143 how about when you do --> find / -name "*PGSQL.5432.lock*" | 08:02 |

| spade | I like to use the latest version of freemind (freemind.sf.net) which is Release Candidate 4 for FreeMind 0.9.0. Synaptics only offers 0.8.1 which is missing important features I like to use. I got the tarball which I downloaded and untared to ~/Downloads/freemind. In the documentation it says: double click freemind.jar in the lib/ folder of the folder in which FreeMind has been installed.... | 08:19 |
| spade | ...There is no freemind.jar in that lib/ folder, which I suppose means, it isn't properly installed. I found one occurrence of that file in ~/Downloads/bin/dist/lib which seems a wired location to me. After changing the permissions I was able to start the program and also create a panel icon for it. Which was what I wanted to get help for from you guys. I figured it out my self, while... | 08:19 |

| Hitman32 | how to access to root ? | 08:36 |
| Flannel | Hitman32: Prefix your command with sudo | 08:36 |
| Flannel | !sudo | Hitman32 | 08:36 |
| ubottu | Hitman32: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) | 08:36 |
| maco | !root | Hitman32 | 08:36 |
| ubottu | Hitman32: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 08:36 |

| Hansard | Hello, I'm not sure if this is the appropriate channel to ask for support for this particular issue, it's just that I use ubuntu. My issue is trying to install a ndiswrapper wireless driver for my Belkin 54g wireless pci card (Broadcom chip) BCM4306 Rev3. Using the ndiswrapper utility it says "Unable to see if hardware is present". Some pages from google suggested I install pciutils and I... | 09:08 |
| Hansard | ...did and it didn't help. | 09:08 |
| Hitman32 | only empty file | 09:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Jerusalem420: can you provide a pastebin of the output of: ifconfig | 09:08 |
| Hansard | hmmm this used to beep when I got to the end of a line | 09:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Hitman32: did you type the command EXACTLY? | 09:09 |
| Jerusalem420 | sure. where do ya'll pastebin around here? | 09:09 |
| Hitman32 | copy past | 09:09 |
| storbeck | Why are you installing ndiswrapper? | 09:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Hitman32: linux is case sensitive, thats why i put a capital X | 09:09 |
| storbeck | Doesn't Ubuntu use udev? | 09:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Hitman32: are you using kde? | 09:09 |
| Hansard | storbeck: because the standard wireless drivers aren't working so I have to wrap the windows ones. Or so I've been lead to believe. | 09:09 |
| Hitman32 | no gMOM | 09:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Hitman32: ok | 09:09 |
| pinoyskull | what replaces automatix? | 09:09 |

| Jerusalem420 | let me show you | 09:11 |
| pinoyskull | what replaces automatix? | 09:11 |

| Hitman32 | yep | 09:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Hitman32: under that line add another line that reads: Driver "sis" | 09:12 |

| Jerusalem420 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/268446/ is the /etc/network/interfaces that i tried to use | 09:13 |
| Jerusalem420 | but it didn't work. | 09:14 |
| banyanhe | i think you should check the delay | 09:14 |
| ActionParsnip | pinoyskull: theres tweakubuntu I think its called. | 09:14 |
| banyanhe | more than 30ms will be bad | 09:14 |
| Jerusalem420 | so i recommented out the config for eth0 and left dsl-provider working (which is how I'm online | 09:14 |
| pinoyskull | thanks storbeck and ActionParsnip | 09:14 |
| Hitman32 | what you want from me,, add line?? | 09:14 |
| storbeck | Jerusalem420: Did you try "ifconfig wlan0 up"? | 09:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Jerusalem420: the first line of eth0 is bad | 09:15 |
| Jerusalem420 | wlan0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device | 09:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Jerusalem420: iface eth0 inet static | 09:15 |

| naftilos76 | hi everyone, which download manager do you propose for ubuntu? | 09:16 |
| Hitman32 | .......... | 09:16 |
| Jerusalem420 | the network should be what? | 09:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Jerusalem420: you defined your network as 192.168.0.0 when your iIP and gateway are in the network 192.168.0.1 | 09:16 |
| blue-frog | torocatala: certainly something to do with your bandwith (internet) | 09:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Hitman32: add the line where I told you | 09:16 |
| Hitman32 | what line | 09:16 |
| Hitman32 | ? | 09:16 |
| mostafa_ | does anyone know where jockey saves its downloaded files? | 09:16 |
| Hitman32 | what i write | 09:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Jerusalem420: if your IP is to be 192.168.1.150 then the network is 192.168.1.0 | 09:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Jerusalem420: and the broadcast will be 192.168.1.255 | 09:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Hitman32: 3rd time now.... Driver "sis" | 09:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Hitman32: in the "Configured Video Device" section | 09:17 |

| ankur9118 | hello everyone... | 09:20 |
| ActionParsnip | Jerusalem420: watch your subnets or it wont work | 09:20 |
| blue-frog | glickity: because the screen is very small then maximised is the best choice; no I don't know how to chnage that. use normal edition of ubuntu | 09:20 |
| mostafa_ | does anyone know where jockey saves its downloaded files? | 09:20 |
| glickity | there must be some preference where you can change that though | 09:20 |

| Andorin | Hmm... I have a partition set aside on my hard drive for backing up my files. However, I don't seem to be able to delete anything from it. If I delete something it goes to the partition's trash, and deleting the files from there does nothing because they don't move. How can I remove them permanently? I imagine that there's an Ubuntu program that will do it. | 09:23 |
| Hansard | I'll have to type it out because I'm typing on my laptop (wireless working) and my desktop has no internet at the moment | 09:24 |

| ActionParsnip | Hansard: you can use the fwcutter etc to get drivers for broadcom things | 09:26 |
| Hansard | storbeck: I modprobed the ndiswrapper windows driver, ifconfig didn't work it said it couldn't set it. | 09:27 |
| ankur9118 | I am unable to start ubuntu in graphichs mode...somebody help to figure out the problem... | 09:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Hansard: no need for ndiswrapper | 09:28 |
| Hansard | ActionParsnip: I'll try those instructions, thank you, then I'll come back to the channel. | 09:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Hansard: make sure you remove ndiswrapper first | 09:28 |
| ActionParsnip | ankur9118: have you tried booting to recovery mode and using the fix graphics option | 09:28 |
| ankur9118 | its taking me to "ubuntu is running in low graphichs mode" and then it hangs... | 09:28 |
| Hansard | ActionParsnip: just sudo rmmod ndiswrapper, correct? | 09:29 |
| lyhana8 | hi, I got some issue with a usb disk | 09:29 |
| storbeck | That's because you installed the wrong graphics driver, ankur9118 | 09:29 |

| Jerusalem420_ | eth0 isn't up at the moment cause i'm using my old /etc/networks/interfaces settings | 09:38 |

| ActionParsnip | Jerusalem420_: gksudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf | 09:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Jerusalem420_: then access your routers web config page, check the WAN config, you will see DNS server IPs. | 09:39 |

| Jerusalem420 | but my primamry machine is stil not getting dns info | 10:14 |
| ActionParsnip | WishingMaster: --f doesnt exist | 10:14 |
| Jerusalem420 | suggestions? | 10:14 |
| Hansard | ActionParsnip: nevermind, the space is supposed to be there, I looked up the input parameters for b43-fwcutter.. it's the target directory. My problem was that I should have put the original files into home instead of /lib. | 10:14 |
| WishingMaster | ActionParsnip,so if run apt-get -f-broken what should i see | 10:14 |
| ActionParsnip | WishingMaster: sudo apt-get -f install | 10:14 |
| hipodilski | hi guys I've upgraded my ubuntu first from 8.04 -> 8.10 and after that to 9.04 | 10:14 |
| ActionParsnip | WishingMaster: or sudo apt-get --fix-broken install | 10:14 |
| WishingMaster | ActionParsnip,what will that do.......apt-get -f install | 10:15 |
| hipodilski | I used edubuntu packages before and my gnome is edubuntunized | 10:15 |
| ActionParsnip | WishingMaster: the commands are synonymous | 10:15 |
| ActionParsnip | WishingMaster: read man pages, they tell you much: http://linux.die.net/man/8/apt-get | 10:15 |
| hipodilski | after the upgrade my button on System that said Shut Down disappeared | 10:15 |
| WishingMaster | ActionParsnip,i have broken packages | 10:15 |
| JyZyXEL | how do you put a bootable .iso meant for CD to USB stick? | 10:15 |
| ActionParsnip | WishingMaster: then you need that command | 10:15 |
| hipodilski | still I see some of the edubuntu gnome stuff when I login can I remove all this crap | 10:15 |
| hipodilski | and revert it to default gnome outlook / menus etc.? | 10:16 |
| ActionParsnip | JyZyXEL: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/usb-ubuntu-904-persistent-install-windows/ | 10:16 |
| rygot | ActionParsnip I find apt very undesirable. Just like not using root, one should not use apt, but aptititude. Thank you for your time. | 10:16 |
| JyZyXEL | ActionParsnip: no not ubuntu.iso | 10:16 |
| JyZyXEL | but totally different .iso | 10:16 |
| nelson_ | hI | 10:17 |
| gOLDfeesh | in the terminal when I hit "UP" it shows up as ^[[A | 10:17 |
| ikorin | hello ) | 10:17 |
| ActionParsnip | rygot: i find apt very satisfactory. i also actively uninstall aptitude via script on my new installs. You will also notice a lot of the official documentation online uses apt-get. thank you for your time | 10:17 |
| sirGuest | I am having difficulty with my torrents. 0KB up and its only downloading one torrent. Any idea how to fix this? | 10:17 |
| nelson_ | I would like to report a bug with wl drier on BCM4312, I don't know where to post | 10:17 |
| ActionParsnip | JyZyXEL: that will do any linux iso | 10:17 |
| nelson_ | someone may tell me ? | 10:17 |
| JyZyXEL | ActionParsnip: its not linux iso | 10:17 |
| rygot | ActionParsnip aptitude has more advanced conflict/dependency resolution than other tools, it has far more advanced searching available. Aptitude can also remove or purge one package at the same time as installing others all from the command line, making it much easier to recover from broken dependencies. | 10:17 |
| ActionParsnip | JyZyXEL: then you are in the wrong channel | 10:18 |
| JyZyXEL | no im not | 10:18 |
| Sidewinder1 | !bug | 10:18 |

| ActionParsnip | rygot: just because it has more features doent make it better in any way | 10:18 |
| ActionParsnip | rygot: i have never used aptitude as apt-get does all i need | 10:18 |
| Hansard | ActionParsnip: that help page you gave me worked. I am on the net now. Thank you very much; you just saved me having to buy a new wifi card. :) | 10:19 |
| sirGuest | I am having difficulty with my torrents. 0KB up and its only downloading one torrent. Any idea how to fix this? | 10:19 |
| ActionParsnip | rygot: and i advise users on what i am familiar wit, rather than a tool i have never used | 10:19 |
| nelson_ | But I think Ubuntu don't care about *drivers*' bugs | 10:19 |
| ActionParsnip | Hansard: good lad :) | 10:19 |
| WishingMaster | ActionParsnip,so i am going to run apt-get -f install..........is that right? | 10:19 |
| nelson_ | so I want to post in a place whre my post will be read and cared | 10:19 |
| ActionParsnip | WishingMaster: should be fine | 10:19 |
| rygot | ActionParsnip aptitude is far superior. It is not a matter of "extra features" | 10:19 |
| WishingMaster | ActionParsnip,see you later with feedback | 10:19 |
| ActionParsnip | rygot: ive used apt-get since gutsy and never had a single issue | 10:20 |
| WishingMaster | ActionParsnip,bye for now | 10:20 |
| rygot | ActionParsnip just as many women have had sex without protection but didn't get pregnant. It'll happen sooner or later | 10:20 |
| ActionParsnip | rygot: lets make this simple, you use aptitude and i'll use apt-get and the world will not explode | 10:20 |
| rygot | lol since gutsy .... | 10:20 |
| rygot | that long, huh? | 10:20 |
| ActionParsnip | rygot: thats when i picked up ubuntu | 10:20 |
| Sidewinder1 | nelson_> Bugs are reported and addressed in launchpad, referred to by ubottu, above. | 10:20 |
| rygot | rofl | 10:21 |
| ActionParsnip | rygot: ? | 10:21 |
| paissad-hp | hi everybody ! | 10:21 |
| frogzoo | I thought with the new apt-get, there was basically no real difference in dependency handling? | 10:21 |
| Flannel | frogzoo: That's correct | 10:21 |
| frogzoo | ah, sweet :D | 10:21 |
| paissad-hp | is it possible to run an application via ssh and make that app continues running even the remote connection is closed ? | 10:22 |
| paissad-hp | thanks in advance for helping | 10:22 |
| Flannel | paissad-hp: Check out screen | 10:22 |
| ActionParsnip | paissad-hp: i think screen will do it | 10:22 |
| Flannel | !screen | paissad-hp | 10:22 |
| ubottu | paissad-hp: Screen is a window manager for terminal sessions, also useful over SSH. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Screen | 10:22 |
| frogzoo | paissad-hp: nohup command | 10:22 |
| frogzoo | actually, "nohup command &" | 10:22 |
| rygot | ActionParsnip ah sorry ... I've been using linux so long I was using it when apt and aptitude were both developed. You do know apt didn't start with ubuntu? Anyway, now that I know you're a newb I'll leave you to it | 10:22 |
| paissad-hp | frogzoo, nohup works also for ssh connections even if the connection is closed ? | 10:22 |
| nelson_ | Sidewinder1 > So launchpad retarget bugs reports to the right development team ? | 10:23 |
| lexr | if I put another ide cable so I can attach another hdd, is it safe thing to do? | 10:23 |
| frogzoo | paissad-hp: I don't see why not | 10:23 |
| gOLDfeesh | Is there a way of fixing the terminal so "tab" autocompletes? | 10:23 |
| lexr | motherboards cable has only 2 and I need 3 places. Should I replace it? | 10:23 |
| Sidewinder1 | nelson_> That is correct. | 10:23 |
| nelson_ | ok thx | 10:23 |
| Flannel | rygot: Please ditch the attitude. | 10:23 |
| Sidewinder1 | welks | 10:23 |
| ActionParsnip | rygot: ive been using linux since mandrake 7 | 10:24 |
| matteo_ | hi i am havjng problems with ubuntu 8.04 If i ear a youtube video and i try later to play a song with vlc, audacious,.. i get no sounds... Anyone may help me? I can't either set the volume... | 10:24 |
| rygot | Flannel I offered the sound advice that aptitude is superior to apt. That was challenged by someone with relatively little experience with the statement "it's always worked for me, so there is no problem." This is patently false. Do you challenge the notion that aptitude is superior to apt? | 10:25 |
| ActionParsnip | rygot: you really need to get over yourself | 10:25 |
| rygot | ActionParsnip lol wow since mandrake 7, huh? | 10:25 |
| Flannel | ActionParsnip: Just drop it | 10:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Flannel: can you help here | 10:25 |
| Flannel | rygot: There's no difference in the way they handle dependencies anymore. | 10:25 |
| ActionParsnip | thank you | 10:26 |
| rygot | Flannel yes, there still is. Unless you know better than both the apt and aptitude developers. I suggest you ditch the attitude and research your statements. | 10:26 |
| rygot | Thank you. | 10:26 |
| Flannel | rygot: No, there isn't. Please drop it. | 10:26 |
| ActionParsnip | rygot: why is apt-get stil part of a default install of ubuntu then if its so appauling? maybe you know better than the ubuntu dev team huh? | 10:27 |
| Flannel | rygot: There hasn't been for a number of years now | 10:27 |
| rygot | Flannel yes there is. You have been told. I suggest you research what you are saying then apologize to me. Thank you for your time. I will enter into no more discussion about the matter. | 10:27 |
| rygot | Flannel you are wrong. | 10:27 |

| SirJak | hola | 10:34 |
| indus | !voip | 10:34 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about voip | 10:34 |
| SirJak | alguien que hable español? | 10:35 |
| ActionParsnip | WishingMaster: ok thats great | 10:35 |
| WishingMaster | ActionParsnip, i have logged in recovery mode in grub menu,then i get an option dpkg repair | 10:35 |
| WishingMaster | ActionParsnip,it identifies 54 packages | 10:36 |
| WishingMaster | ActionParsnip,broken | 10:36 |
| WishingMaster | ActionParsnip,it gives me the option Y/N to repair/fix | 10:36 |
| ActionParsnip | sounds ok to me, its what the item is for i guess | 10:37 |
| WishingMaster | ActionParsnip,i selected Y to repair and starts looking for an internet connection through eth0 but i am using usb connection | 10:38 |
| WishingMaster | ActionParsnip,no lan | 10:38 |
| ActionParsnip | WishingMaster: ive not used this so im no use here | 10:38 |
| WishingMaster | ActionParsnip,OMG u r my last hope | 10:38 |
| WishingMaster | ActionParsnip,i have not met any one with more knowledge than urs | 10:39 |
| WishingMaster | ActionParsnip,is there a way to configure usb conn instead of eth0? | 10:40 |
| ActionParsnip | WishingMaster: ive not used usb wan in ubuntu dude. do you have a list of packages that are "bad"? | 10:41 |
| nibbler_ | frogzoo: still having problems with your modem? basically there is no need for modem-support, just for the usb2serial support. plug it and check dmesg|tail | 10:41 |
| WishingMaster | ActionParsnip,yes i do | 10:41 |
| frogzoo | nibbler_: I have one of these nutjob modems that have memory, so you have to jigger usb_modeswitch to disable the apparent cdrom on the device | 10:42 |
| WishingMaster | ActionParsnip,is there a command to install/repair them one by one | 10:42 |
| ActionParsnip | WishingMaster: then note them down and boot normally, then you could run: sudo apt-gte --reinstall install <huge package list here> | 10:42 |
| ActionParsnip | apt-get sorry | 10:42 |
| frogzoo | nibbler_: if I could get a /dev/ttyUSB I'd be fine from there, but no | 10:42 |
| WishingMaster | ActionParsnip,do i have to put , to seperate the package names? | 10:43 |
| nibbler_ | frogzoo: what does dmesg tell you, when plugging in the device? | 10:43 |
| ActionParsnip | WishingMaster: a space | 10:43 |
| WishingMaster | ActionParsnip,okay,i will get back to you with feedback | 10:44 |
| ikorin | what is your favorite irc client in ubuntu? | 10:44 |

| ActionParsnip | ikorin: i dont use console for irc | 10:45 |
| ActionParsnip | !irc | ikorin | 10:45 |
| n8tuser | ikorin irssi or irrsi i believed, cant recall the spelling | 10:45 |
| ActionParsnip | ikorin: people rage about irssi | 10:45 |
| nibbler_ | frogzoo: well, there is no serial interface detected :| what about lsusb -vvv? | 10:45 |
| linux_manju | irssi | 10:45 |
| frogzoo | nibbler_: that's why you have to use usb_modeswitch - but all the howtos don't mention this device, which is somewhat new | 10:46 |
| karmyt | hi | 10:46 |

| frogzoo | you may not | 10:51 |

| frogzoo | well, it changes bus ID from 19d2:2000 -> 19d2:0064, as reported by lsusb - not sure where to go from here, might try modprobing usb_serial? | 10:53 |

| joejacobs | hey guys need some help. I've downloaded the ubuntu 9.04 iso 3 times and I can never get it installed. The first time it all goes smoothly until I see a message saying something about moving my machine into a cooler room. the second time the cd is just too slow for anything to load. the third time the cd wont boot. i just went to the site, downloaded the 32-bit version and burnt it onto a cd using iso recorder on windows vista. what am i doing wrong or is | 11:04 |
| erUSUL | ikorin: not supported neither here or by canonical. require manual compilation everytime an update of the kernel or the graphic stack is updated. not to mention what happens when you try to upgrade the entire distribution | 11:04 |
| erUSUL | !worksforme | ikorin | 11:04 |
| ubottu | ikorin: Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ | 11:04 |
| ikorin | erUSUL: manual compilcation??? it is binary pkg | 11:05 |
| erUSUL | Cally: first try System>Admin>Hardware Drivers | 11:05 |
| Cally | erUSUL, I tried that already | 11:05 |
| erUSUL | ikorin: yes but it compiles or dlads the kernel module for the kernel you use | 11:05 |
| erUSUL | !envyng | Cally | 11:05 |
| ubottu | Cally: EnvyNG is a program to install newer version of nVidia or ATi drivers, it can be found in !Universe as "envyng-gtk" (for Gtk/Gnome) or "envyng-qt" (for Qt/KDE). It is NOT a supported method to install video drivers; please only use it if standard methods fail and at your own risk - See also !BinaryDriver | 11:05 |

| joejacobs | checked the cds its all ok | 11:09 |
| laclasse | joejacobs, bit worried about "I see a message saying something about moving my machine into a cooler room" | 11:09 |
| hoover | joejacobs: sounds like a bad burner | 11:09 |
| ikorin | joejacobs: try dvd version | 11:09 |
| hoover | did you create all those cd's using the same drive? | 11:09 |
| nibbler_ | joejacobs: try alternate installer disk! | 11:09 |
| laclasse | joejacobs, is the machine overheating? | 11:09 |
| joejacobs | laclasse: nope i've made sure it isnt | 11:09 |
| joejacobs | nibbler_: ok will do | 11:10 |
| laclasse | joejacobs, as nibbler says, when all fails, try the alternate installer | 11:10 |
| joejacobs | ok thx guys will try that | 11:10 |
| chalcedony | i have a sata drive (new) with my data transferred to it, i need to install grub on it so the computer can boot with it. How do i do that? | 11:10 |
| nibbler_ | alternate isntaller is better anyway, as it supports encrypted / in contrary to the normal one | 11:10 |
| geneven | joejacobs you may be able to make your machine cooler by changing fan speed in cmos, maybe the other probs are associated with that | 11:10 |
| hoover | or try opening the case | 11:10 |
| joejacobs | it's a notebook if that makes any diff | 11:11 |
| joejacobs | i'll try the alternate installer n see how it goes | 11:11 |
| joejacobs | thxx | 11:11 |
| laclasse | chalcedony, you need to chroot into the new system drive and run grub-install from there | 11:11 |
| nibbler_ | joejacobs: good luck | 11:11 |

| seva1 | Greetings to everybody. | 11:19 |
| seva1 | Does anyone have some experience of using bin9 dns server? The problem is that I cannot locate configuration files (named.conf or so) having bind9 manually compiled. What am I doing wrong? | 11:19 |
| Flannel | chalcedony: Is there something we can help you with today? | 11:19 |
| ikonia | chalcedony: easy nick to mistake, it's not a problem, just please try to keep to the ubuntu support discussion topic | 11:19 |
| ikonia | seva1: why did you compile it ? ubuntu has a version packaged for you | 11:20 |
| chalcedony | Flannel, very nice to see you :) | 11:20 |
| Cally | can someone help me with an ati driver thing please? | 11:20 |
| chalcedony | Flannel, ive spent 4 days trying to get my mailserver to see the drive. | 11:20 |
| onno | om | 11:21 |
| chalcedony | Flannel, it doesn't the super grub cd i have might be old? is there another better way? | 11:21 |
| ikonia | chalcedony: can you give a high level expliation of the problem please | 11:22 |
| coz_ | hey guys I have a question... I am on ubuntu with scsi drives ..on the last several versions of ubuntu ..when booting in..it drops to initramfs at which point I have to type "exit" so that it boots...I know I can go into /boot/grub/menu.lst and add rootdelay-40 to the kernel stanza ..this opten dsables a applications I use to change that file via gui ...my question is there an alternative to adding this line ? | 11:22 |
| coz_ | rather rootdelay=40 | 11:22 |
| coz_ | and also what exactly am I doing with this line? | 11:22 |
| erUSUL | coz_: you are making the kernel wait longer for the root fs to become aviable | 11:23 |
| seva1 | ikonia: i decided to compile it because I noticed that apache2 configuration file was split in many parts in packaged version, so I was not sure I would properly understand the guide I found in the web | 11:23 |
| erUSUL | coz_: probably initalicing the your scsi disks takes longer than expected for some reason | 11:23 |
| coz_ | erUSUL, ok and is there an alternative to this or perhaps a different delay number | 11:24 |
| chalcedony | Flannel, he had me get that, http://download.linux-live-cd.org/Super_Grub_Disk/download/binaries/sgd/cdrom/super_grub_disk_0.9795.iso told me to reboot and do things.. but it won't boot to the drive. my friend tried with a gentoo live cd.. it can see the drive but not afterward, if i reboot. | 11:24 |
| mats | hi! can someone help me change regdomain and countrycode on madwifi? | 11:24 |
| chalcedony | ikonia, see above post to Flannel | 11:24 |
| erUSUL | coz_: where do you add that line ? tried in the "defoptions" line ? | 11:24 |
| chalcedony | Flannel, ikonia he = my son (sorry i'm so tired) | 11:25 |
| ikonia | seva1: how as does the apache config file relate to the bind9 version in the repo ? | 11:25 |
| ikonia | seva1: if you are going to build your own software you should know how to manage the config file | 11:25 |
| ikonia | chalcedony: what is the actual fault you have with your system | 11:26 |
| Hansard_ | is there any way for a website to have access to the username of the person logged in? | 11:26 |
| coz_ | erUSUL, in the /boot/grub/menu.lst in the kernel stanza | 11:26 |
| Hansard_ | wondering if it's a security or privacy issue to have your username as your full name | 11:26 |
| hoover | Hansard_: only if basic auth is enabled on the webserver | 11:27 |
| erUSUL | coz_: try in the defconf line that maybe makes your gui app happier | 11:27 |
| hoover | Hansard_: and no, this won't usually be your unix login | 11:27 |
| seva1 | when I manually compiled apache, there was one httpd.conf file with all settings, so I thought there is the same with bind9 | 11:27 |
| erUSUL | coz_: then run « sudo update-grub » | 11:27 |
| Hansard_ | ok thanks hoover | 11:27 |
| ikonia | seva1: there is only one named.conf file in the ubuntu packaged version | 11:27 |
| coz_ | erUSUL, the same rootdelay=40 in the defoptions line itself/ | 11:28 |
| ikonia | seva1: you can still make your own config file, however #bind may be a better place for your custom build support | 11:28 |
| erUSUL | coz_: yep just before the quiet and splash options already there | 11:28 |
| coz_ | erUSUL, ok I will give that a whirl here now and check its effects ..thanks :) | 11:28 |
| chalcedony | ikonia, it can't boot to the drive. it said control z to key into user window, it shows info about the raid and the drive. but if i had not hit conrol z for user screen.. it would be a black screen with a blinking - in the top left corner. | 11:29 |
| erUSUL | coz_: the line woul look « # defoptions=quiet splash rootdelay=40 » (note that you have to keep the # ) | 11:29 |
| seva1 | ikonia: thanks for the advice | 11:29 |
| ikonia | chalcedony: so a disk in your raid array has failed yes/no ? | 11:29 |
| coz_ | erUSUL, got it thanks again :) will test it shortly | 11:29 |

| Hansard_ | damn you update manager!! | 11:32 |
| ikonia | chalcedony: ok has this disk ever worked ? | 11:33 |
| chalcedony | ikonia, the drive was in my box when my son transferred the data from the failing eide drive to it.. and then we got the adapter card and tried to get it to work in the mailserver box.. so far.. it can only be seen with a live cd. | 11:34 |

| padi999 | hey | 11:37 |
| chalcedony | ikonia, i think thats what the supergrub cd was supposed to have accomplished. the old drive had ubuntu 8.04 on it .. nothing actually boots but the live cd (gentoo) at this point | 11:37 |
| padi999 | What ports need I forward for ctorrent to work with a router/firewall between lan and wan sides? | 11:37 |
| ikonia | chalcedony: ok so you can't boot from your pci sata card - is that right ? | 11:37 |
| chalcedony | Tukson, are you insuating that i'm trolling? | 11:37 |
| chalcedony | ikonia, yes | 11:38 |
| padi999 | It seems that other clients work here, but ctorrent not | 11:38 |
| david_ | hey anyone have the issue of the Internet connection dying after a suspend? | 11:38 |
| Tukson | just for example the test for my keyboard | 11:38 |
| chalcedony | insinuating even | 11:38 |
| ikonia | chalcedony: ok so does your board allow you to boot from that card in the bios | 11:38 |
| === david_ is now known as dantonic | ||
| ikonia | chalcedony: it's clear the card/disk are working as you can see them in the livecd, but if your motherboard won't allow you to boot from that card, there is no fix that will sort it | 11:39 |
| Hansard_ | anyone know how to roll back an update? I need to get my wireless working again | 11:39 |
| chalcedony | ikonia, ok then i can give up and transfer the data to the new eide drive i bought ? | 11:39 |

| Hansard_ | good idea chalcedony | 11:40 |
| chalcedony | :) | 11:40 |
| Hansard_ | ActionParsnip: I updated all my programs with update manager, it asked for a reboot, I rebooted and now my wireless is broken again. | 11:41 |
| chalcedony | ikonia, the drive is in the box, what do i need to do to transfer the data besides plugiging the eide connector and power connector in? | 11:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Hansard_: did you get a new kernel? | 11:41 |
| Hansard_ | I was running fresh from the current 9.1 iso. | 11:41 |

| Hansard_ | ActionParsnip: oh ok | 11:42 |
| ikonia | GingerBrigham1: ask the channel your question | 11:43 |
| Jaco | How do I change my DHCP IP on ETH0 to a static IP on Ubuntu 9.04 Server using command line? | 11:43 |
| ikonia | freeloader: look into "PS1" | 11:43 |
| padi999 | ikonia: but the router doesn't forward any ports specifically | 11:43 |
| ikonia | Jaco: depends if you are using gnome desktops network manager applet | 11:43 |
| === HaCk is now known as Guest18731 | ||
| ikonia | padi999: firewall blocking ? | 11:43 |
| Jaco | No, it's command line only | 11:43 |
| freeloader | ikonia: I have /w in PS1... | 11:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Jaco: you can use network manager or you can put the data in /etc/network/interfaces | 11:43 |
| ikonia | Jaco: look at /etc/network/interfaces file | 11:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Jaco: then you must use /etc/network/interfaces | 11:43 |
| GingerBrigham1 | just installed and got internet connection. trying to get updates but it says i've no room on my hdd!!! tried to open gparted but says i don't have privilege to open it? | 11:44 |
| ikonia | freeloader: so that shows present working directory | 11:44 |
| padi999 | ikonia: I checked with wireshark, ktorrent uses a lot of ports between rougly 38000 and 55000 | 11:44 |
| udssr_shorty | Hey guys! Does someone know how to make the "Select pattern" command in nautilus case INsensitive? | 11:44 |
| ikonia | padi999: that makes sense | 11:44 |
| ActionParsnip | Jaco: sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces then read this: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/setting-up-an-network-interfaces-file/ | 11:44 |
| chalcedony | ikonia, my BIOS appears to be seeing the drive (and to do so, must see the card as well) , no? | 11:44 |
| freeloader | ikonia: it does, but as ~ instead of /home/USER | 11:44 |
| ikonia | chalcedony: that doesn't mean you can boot for it | 11:44 |
| CoUrPsE | Ahh, i have restricted-extras on already. how can i find the codec to install thou? | 11:44 |
| * chalcedony smiles | 11:44 | |
| ikonia | freeloader: ahhh ~ is the symbol for home | 11:44 |
| ikonia | freeloader: change it to PS1=`pwd` | 11:45 |
| padi999 | ikonia: no blocking specifically, I mean, I thought it could be a port-forwarding thing, but then why would it work with ktorrent but not with ctorrent | 11:45 |
| ActionParsnip | !codecs | CoUrPsE | 11:45 |
| ubottu | CoUrPsE: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 11:45 |
| ikonia | padi999: yes, that is confusing | 11:45 |
| Jaco | Is there a command line version of the network manager or something I can install to make the process a little less hairy for a beginner...? | 11:45 |
| CoUrPsE | Yeah. ikonia just told me that. | 11:45 |
| ikonia | Jaco: use the gui then | 11:45 |
| CoUrPsE | But it only tells me to install *-extras | 11:45 |
| CoUrPsE | And i already have., | 11:45 |
| ikonia | Jaco: that's why there is a gui, if you need a gui use it, if you want to use the command line, use it, but a command line gui - what's the point | 11:45 |
| freeloader | ikonia: I tried that, but for some reason it would only display the /home/USER once, and when i change directory, it sticks with /home/USER | 11:46 |
| Jaco | I installed the 64bit version of Ubuntu Server 9.04 so I don't know if there is a GUI available? | 11:46 |
| chalcedony | ikonia, can you elaborate on this ? my helper guy wants to keep pursuing it | 11:46 |
| ActionParsnip | CoUrPsE: then you have a tonne of codecs installed, extras is a metapackage whih installs other packages to give you stuff | 11:46 |
| ikonia | chalcedony: if your bios can see the disk, that's great, it doesn't mean you bios can boot from that disk on the external card | 11:46 |
| Jaco | It starts up straight into the command line | 11:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Jaco: if you read the guide, its not hard at all | 11:46 |
| ikonia | Jaco: install ubuntu-desktop package and you'll get a gui | 11:46 |
| Jaco | I need the server | 11:46 |
| ikonia | Jaco: /etc/network/interfaces is just a text file so it should be quite easy to use | 11:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Jaco: ifyou want a gui, why did you install server? | 11:47 |
| ikonia | Jaco: why do you need the server install, the desktop install makes an excellent server | 11:47 |

| ikonia | hickop: I believe there are some patches applied, download the source package and check them | 12:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Hansard_: if some / one of the packags looks related to the firmware cutter, uninstall it | 12:05 |
| InDuS | ActionParsnip: so since most people think or have similar needs, it makes that product the best by popularity | 12:05 |
| aLeSD | hi .. I have an amd phenom X4 and I'd like to virtualize another OS on my ubuntu . What I have to use ? | 12:05 |

| ikonia | hickop: apt-get source $package_name | 12:06 |
| InDuS | ikonia: ok stopped | 12:06 |
| ActionParsnip | InDuS: no, it is only best to the people that think it suits their needs best. "best" is an evaluation of something to the requirements of the something. If a different something (in your opinion and after analysing) can perform the task better, then the first thing ceases to be best | 12:06 |

| hickop | ikonia: i mean i dont actually have ubuntu , i used it before and the xorg-server was working , but now with the source from xorg its not | 12:07 |

| aLeSD | I will install virt-manager | 12:07 |
| Hansard_ | ActionParsnip: should I remove the folders from /lib/firmware instead? | 12:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Hansard_: if there is a package then uninstall it, if there are files you have placed then rename or move them | 12:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Hansard_: i dont recommend deleting until you have the goal | 12:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Hansard_: less destructive | 12:08 |
| hickop | ikonia: but ubuntu patches arent | 12:08 |
| Hansard_ | is there any way to look at the currently loaded mods to see what is actually the problem? | 12:08 |
| ikonia | hickop: but you're not using ubuntu patches | 12:08 |

| greenish_blue | I used expert mode during base installation and did sth wrong in keyboard section, now I cant jump over words using Ctrl+ (left or right )while writing commands, how do I correct this ? | 12:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Hansard_: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 looks good | 12:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Hitman32: like what? | 12:56 |
| Hansard_ | ActionParsnip: oh it also said this WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper, it will be ignored in a future release. | 12:56 |
| Hitman32 | any program,,, wait i'll try vnc | 12:56 |
| Hansard_ | ActionParsnip: and WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist, it will be ignored in a future release. | 12:57 |
| bambam_ | ALL: When someone should decide to leave ubuntu and get into more core linux distros | 12:57 |
| padi999 | How do I have to setup ctorrent behind a firewall? I forwarded port 2706 on the router but still get timeouts... | 12:57 |
| frogzoo | Hansard_: you need to name the file blah.conf | 12:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Hitman32: 2d apps rn fine. i dont get why you need the fulll desktop. a lot of apps have we interfaces now | 12:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Hansard_: sudo mv /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf | 12:57 |
| Hansard_ | frogzoo: I'd actually prefer to get rid of it. But apt-get --purge remove didn't seem to work. | 12:58 |
| Hitman32 | OK,, give me one | 12:58 |
| frogzoo | Hansard_: well sometimes you do need to blacklist a driver.... | 12:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Hitman32: depends what you want to achieve. | 12:58 |
| Hitman32 | which one i should work | 12:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Hitman32: vlc has a web interface, transmission has a web interface | 12:59 |
| nicknamemick | hello | 12:59 |
| ActionParsnip | Hitman32: i have no idea what you want to achieve on the remote system | 12:59 |
| Hitman32 | wep??? | 12:59 |
| ActionParsnip | Hitman32: wep is an encryption protool, not an app | 12:59 |
| Hansard_ | frogzoo: oh sorry was talking about the ndiswrapper part | 12:59 |
| Hitman32 | just to let my bro see my desktop | 12:59 |
| ActionParsnip | Hitman32: then vnc is perfect if you are demonstrating | 13:00 |
| Hitman32 | or learn something | 13:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Hitman32: dont use vnc over the web though as it is not encrypted | 13:00 |
| Hitman32 | Ok | 13:00 |
| coz_ | ok so adding rootdelay=40 to the defoptions in /boot/grub/menu.lst didnt work any other options? also I assume the 40 means seconds ... is there a table of options for seconds I can read ? | 13:00 |
| Hitman32 | what's the matter | 13:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Hitman32: ? | 13:00 |
| Hitman32 | dont use vnc over the web though as it is not encrypted>>>>........ | 13:01 |
| miguelonnnn | hi, please do you know the difference between passphrase and bit key? i thought just passphrase encodes the password, but both do. So what's the point? | 13:01 |
| nicknamemick | sorry guys can i ask you a question ? i've just migrated to linux , do i need to install my video driver ? ( i have an ati radeon x1550) | 13:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Hitman32: there is zero security in vnc, so transmissions may be captured. all keypresses and mouse moves are sent in clear text | 13:01 |
| ActionParsnip | !ati | nicknamemick | 13:02 |
| frogzoo | nicknamemick: if you have a desktop, it's probly already installed | 13:02 |
| Hansard_ | ActionParsnip: I tried "sudo modprobe b43" and it worked. | 13:02 |
| ActionParsnip | nicknamemick: if you dont require 3d accelleration then vesa is fine | 13:02 |
| Hitman32 | it's mony :P | 13:02 |
| Hansard_ | ActionParsnip: how do I add that to the boot conf file? | 13:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Hansard_: ok is the wifi working? | 13:02 |
| Hansard_ | ActionParsnip: yes | 13:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Hansard_: gksudo gedit /etc/modules | 13:02 |
| Hitman32 | i mean VNC should i buy it | 13:02 |
| Hansard_ | ActionParsnip: how do I make it run that modprobe line on bootup? | 13:02 |
| nicknamemick | thank you | 13:03 |
| nicknamemick | but i see the desktop quite bigger | 13:03 |

| ActionParsnip | Hansard_: type: b43 in that file, then save it and close gedit | 13:03 |
| ActionParsnip | nicknamemick: the ati driver will make that smaller | 13:03 |
| Hansard_ | ActionParsnip: thank you. | 13:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Hansard_: reboot to test | 13:04 |

| murlidhar | i still have :P | 13:06 |
| murlidhar | anyone ? | 13:06 |
| Hansard_ | ActionParsnip: works perfectly, thank you. | 13:06 |
| nicknamemick | ok , thanks , i'm trying to install | 13:06 |
| coz_ | erUSUL, any other suggestions for that rootdelay=40 ? :) | 13:06 |
| murlidhar | checking for alsa >= 1.0.15... not found | 13:06 |
| Hansard_ | ActionParsnip: how do we recommend to ubuntu.com that they change their help file to include a last step to add the loading of b43 to /etc/modules | 13:07 |
| Hansard_ | oh think I've had too many wines tonight, it says it is a wiki | 13:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Hansard_: great!! erm...submit a bug i guess | 13:08 |
| ActionParsnip | true.. | 13:08 |
| Hansard_ | lol I love your reaction ActionParsnip, it's like an anime character... "great!! erm..." | 13:11 |
| [new_i] | ïðèâåò âñåì) | 13:11 |
| paissad-hp | is it possible to run a graphic application via ssh, and make that application continue running even the remote ssh connection is closed ? | 13:11 |
| bazhang | [new_i], #ubuntu-ru for russian | 13:11 |
| Dr_Willis | paissad-hp: You could use 'vnc' and sort of do that. | 13:12 |
| [new_i] | bazhang,÷òî? | 13:12 |
| bazhang | [new_i], /join #ubuntu-ru | 13:13 |
| ikorin | vncserver ? | 13:13 |
| paissad-hp | Dr_Willis, without using vnc if possible :-) | 13:13 |
| Dr_Willis | paissad-hp: it has some place to show the display.. so i cant think of any way other then via vnc in its own virtual (hidden) desktop | 13:13 |
| paissad-hp | i did not precise that | 13:13 |
| Dr_Willis | paissad-hp: Ive never seen a way to do it. | 13:13 |
| Dr_Willis | the display has to go somewhere I guess. :) | 13:13 |
| ActionParsnip | paissad-hp: you can use screen | 13:15 |
| paissad-hp | Dr_Willis, yes, the display has to go somewhere, but i want it to stay into the server station, so that i can continue after closing the remote ssh access | 13:15 |
| ActionParsnip | paissad-hp: for gui apps, not sure though | 13:15 |
| Dr_Willis | paissad-hp: you want to 'move' the display from the server to the client on the fly - you wish to say? | 13:15 |
| paissad-hp | ActionParsnip, i've tried screen, but that works only for application limited to the console | 13:15 |
| paissad-hp | not graphical ones | 13:15 |
| [new_i] | ìåíÿ òóò ïîíèìàþò? | 13:15 |
| ActionParsnip | paissad-hp: what gui app areyou running? | 13:16 |
| bazhang | [new_i], here is English only; #ubuntu-ru for Russian please | 13:16 |
| Dr_Willis | I recall some app ages ago that you could 'move' a gui app's display from one X instance to another.. but it dident work very well. | 13:16 |
| paissad-hp | ActionParsnip, for example firefox , just an example | 13:16 |
| [new_i] | ok.. | 13:16 |
| ActionParsnip | paissad-hp: there may be a way to tell the app to run on the local x server and not the remote one | 13:16 |
| ActionParsnip | paissad-hp: like move it from one to another, you'll have to dig arout to findhow | 13:16 |
| Dr_Willis | Of course if its running on the remote end.. then how are you going to controll it if you cant see its display. | 13:16 |
| sean2009 | hi | 13:17 |
| Hansard_ | ActionParsnip: thanks to you I got it working. And I have updated the wiki to reflect that last command to add it to the /etc/modules | 13:17 |
| ActionParsnip | sweet | 13:17 |
| ActionParsnip | that'll help oters :) | 13:17 |
| Hansard_ | pity I can't put a footnote that you suggested that last /etc/modules line | 13:18 |
| Dr_Willis | xmove is a pseudo server X. It is pseudo since it does not actually do the work of a server, but instead it speaks with an existing X server. | 13:18 |
| sean2009 | does anyone get paid to be a full time irc channel helpe..??? | 13:18 |
| Dr_Willis | !info xmove | 13:18 |
| ubottu | Package xmove does not exist in jaunty | 13:18 |
| Dr_Willis | I recall trying xmove ages ago..... | 13:18 |
| Dr_Willis | it sort of does that paissad-hp | 13:18 |
| [new_i] | sean2009,hi.. | 13:19 |
| Dr_Willis | paissad-hp: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Allow_a_program_to_continue_after_logoff#X_move | 13:19 |
| sean2009 | hello | 13:19 |
| ActionParsnip | sean2009: not that i know of | 13:19 |
| ActionParsnip | sean2009: all contributions are free and carry no sla | 13:20 |
| Dr_Willis | No refunds either. | 13:20 |
| Dr_Willis | :) | 13:20 |
| sean2009 | ok well i'd just like to say thanks to anyone who had ever helped someone in here | 13:20 |
| Hansard_ | hmmm why are my propriety drivers not activated? | 13:20 |
| ActionParsnip | sean2009: everyone says you are welcome right back at you | 13:20 |
| sean2009 | ok thanks | 13:20 |
| Hansard_ | By 'activated' does it mean they are not running, or that I haven't 'registered' with the providers? | 13:20 |
| ActionParsnip | sean2009: you may help someday too | 13:21 |
| clearscreen | :) | 13:21 |
| ActionParsnip | sean2009: makes the world go around | 13:21 |
| * leaf-sheep pay it forward. | 13:21 | |
| sean2009 | only when i know enough to teach someone, right now iam an advanced beginner.! | 13:21 |
| ActionParsnip | Hansard_: those are drivers that cant be included on the cd for legal reasons but an app is provided to install them, thigs like video drivers are common here | 13:21 |
| anli_ | why isnt there an upgrade script to run when I want to go from ubuntu 7.10 to the newest? | 13:22 |
| anli_ | What is making a lot of struggle necessary | 13:22 |
| Dr_Willis | 7.10 - is almost 2 years old.. wosers. :0 | 13:22 |
| clearscreen | anli_: update-manager -d | 13:22 |
| ActionParsnip | anli_: you cant, you need to go up through the intermediate releases | 13:23 |
| Hansard_ | ActionParsnip: I downloaded the .run ati driver from the amd website and installed it. And I went into 'hardware drivers' and it says that the driver isn't 'activated'. Same with the Broadcom B43 wireless driver that we just installed. | 13:23 |
| anli_ | ActionParsnip: and why cannot a program do it for me? | 13:23 |
| kamil | Hi | 13:23 |
| clearscreen | anli_: update-manager ... | 13:23 |
| ActionParsnip | anil_: it can and does | 13:23 |
| anli_ | clearscreen: finished with a core dump | 13:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Hansard_: ati have a config tool of their own to use | 13:23 |
| sean2009 | i have a broadcom wireless driver, i can t get that to work either - iam using arch linux | 13:23 |
| ActionParsnip | !arch | 13:23 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about arch | 13:23 |
| ActionParsnip | !archlinux | 13:23 |
| ubottu | Other !Linux distributions besides !Ubuntu include: Debian, Mepis (using !APT); RedHat, Fedora, SUSE, Mandriva (using !RPM); Gentoo, Slackware (using other packaging systems) | 13:23 |
| clearscreen | Nobody else does either, ubottu! :D | 13:24 |
| miguelonnnn | i don't know about archlinux, but maybe wvdialconf will work | 13:24 |
| Hansard_ | ActionParsnip: so why didn't the ubuntu hardware drivers tool detect that ati had correctly installed the driver? bug? | 13:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Hansard_: maybe the inuilt tool doesnt detect your card | 13:24 |
| miguelonnnn | hi, please do you know the difference between passphrase and bit key? i thought just passphrase encodes the password, but both do. So what's the point? | 13:24 |
| sean2009 | i have arch on a laptop and iam running ubuntu on another laptop | 13:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Hansard_: i suggest you websearch how to set it up | 13:24 |
| Dr_Willis | Hansard_: ati has removed many cards from their fglrx drivers. so cards that used to use fglrx may not use it now.. | 13:24 |
| Hansard_ | ActionParsnip: it detects the card, that's why it's suggesting I 'activate' the driver. | 13:24 |
| ActionParsnip | sean2009: arch is supported in #archlinux | 13:25 |
| sean2009 | it may need some b43 firmware program | 13:25 |
| Hansard_ | Dr_Willis: I have an HD 4800. It is included in the current propriety ati driver. | 13:25 |
| coz_ | ok again booting dropts to initramfs I would have to insert rootdelay=40 to the kernel stanza line in /boot/grub/menu.lst but this only happesn with ubuntu and consistently that last two years and with scsi drives | 13:25 |
| ActionParsnip | !broadcom | sean2009 | 13:25 |
| ubottu | sean2009: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx | 13:25 |
| coz_ | anyone know where this originates from? a kernel patch? an oversight? | 13:25 |
| anli_ | its a mystery that an url in sources.list can result in 404, that is the same as a design flaw | 13:25 |
| sean2009 | yes thanks ive been there done it iot doesn't work | 13:26 |
| sean2009 | i am happy to use the ethernet port | 13:26 |
| Dr_Willis | anli_: when a release gets 'so old' i belive they move the repositories to some archive server. | 13:26 |
| Dr_Willis | anli_: you may need to change your sources.list to reflect that. | 13:26 |
| anli_ | Its a shame that a user ever needs to edit that file | 13:26 |
| Dr_Willis | and ive no idea how old is 'old' | 13:26 |
| anli_ | 7.10 gusty | 13:27 |
| sean2009 | old is anything over 6months | 13:27 |
| * Dr_Willis would cosider 7.10 rather old. | 13:27 | |
| coz_ | anli_, thats old | 13:27 |
| Dr_Willis | 2 yrs old = 4 releases since then. | 13:27 |
| anli_ | it doesnt matter, if I need to edit a file manually, there is something that could be made better | 13:27 |
| thowland | anli, you might want to switch to a long-term support version | 13:27 |
| Dr_Willis | anli_: thats why theres the LTS versions. Do what you want.. have a nice day | 13:27 |
| anli_ | All I want is a smooth transition to the newest version, long-term och short-term | 13:28 |
| anli_ | or | 13:28 |
| ActionParsnip | anil_: you could edit sources.list to say hardy instead of gutsy and dist-upgrade but I do NOT advise this | 13:28 |
| sean2009 | why not just download the 9.04 iso and install like that - and back up data first | 13:28 |
| coz_ | anli_, well a smooth transisiton from one version to the next would be best dealt with on LTS instead of interum versions | 13:28 |
| Dr_Willis | i would be suprised if that thing can sucessfully 'upgrade' to the latest release. | 13:28 |
| anli_ | It just sounded that you advised me :) | 13:28 |
| sean2009 | 9.10 is coming out soon | 13:28 |
| sean2009 | i think 2 months time | 13:29 |
| Dr_Willis | I have enough problems upgrading from one release to the next. | 13:29 |
| coz_ | anli_, you could wait until 10.10 which is the next LTS I believe | 13:29 |
| coz_ | anli_, or install one of the previous LTS revisions and go from there | 13:29 |
| ActionParsnip | anil_: i'm saying its a possibility, its just not graceful | 13:29 |
| Dr_Willis | One very good reason to keep /home on its own partition. | 13:30 |
| Dr_Willis | just in case a upgrade goes ka-blam and you have to do a clean reinstall. | 13:30 |
| ActionParsnip | anil_: i suggest you reinstall a jaunty, or wait a month for karmic to be released | 13:30 |
| indus | anli_: so whats the problem? | 13:31 |
| ActionParsnip | indus: gutsy installed but isnt supported | 13:32 |
| sean2009 | for the amount of people in the room there is little talking going on....! | 13:32 |
| ActionParsnip | sean2009: you can listen and lurk for free | 13:33 |
| sean2009 | ok thanks | 13:33 |
| indus | aah gutsy | 13:33 |
| indus | so what did you suggest ActionParsnip | 13:33 |
| indus | burn cd is good i guess | 13:34 |
| ActionParsnip | indus: could edit sources.list to say hardy instead of gutsy then run dist-upgrade | 13:34 |
| ActionParsnip | but its a bit dodgey | 13:34 |
| anli_ | There should be a script that changed every occurence of gutsy | 13:34 |
| sean2009 | ActionParsnip, i remember 10 years ago going on mirc there was people talking every second . Also there was a thing called irc bombing and stuff. I'm not sure if people still do the bombing thing now though. | 13:34 |
| anli_ | That cannot be a hard-to-write script | 13:34 |
| indus | ActionParsnip: no because i think that wont upgrade? hmm not sure ,i thought since gutsy is eol, that method too fails | 13:35 |
| Halitech | indus, change your sources to point to here old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu and then update | 13:35 |
| indus | Halitech: hmm anli_ is the one wiwth the problem | 13:35 |
| indus | Halitech: thank you :) | 13:35 |
| anli_ | Halitech: that did not seem to work for security.ubuntu.com | 13:35 |
| Halitech | indus, ok | 13:35 |
| Halitech | anli_, just comment the security one out | 13:35 |
| anli_ | for what reason? | 13:36 |
| sfyn | Hi folks | 13:36 |
| Halitech | anli_, get the base updated and then upgrade to 8.04 | 13:36 |
| sfyn | Got an extreme newbie question | 13:36 |
| hipodilski | heya guys I solved my previous ubuntu problem, however I now do experience another one | 13:36 |
| indus | anli_: i suggest you burn a new cd and install,but you probably have been adviced it too | 13:36 |
| Hansard_ | I can't Activate the ATI driver with the Hardware Drivers utility. It just hangs on "Downloading and installing driver... 0%". | 13:36 |
| hipodilski | the acpid daemon is loading my system leaving it with idle 0% | 13:36 |
| sfyn | How do I access my system mails? ie the mails referred to in the sentence "You have new mail" when you log in at a tty? | 13:37 |
| indus | anli_: the other methods are a bit 'unofficial' | 13:37 |
| hipodilski | what might be causing that? | 13:37 |
| Halitech | Hansard_, what video card? | 13:37 |
| nibbler_ | sfyn: type mail, or maybe mailx | 13:37 |
| sean2009 | Im thinking of putting SELinux on ubuntu what does everyone think of selinux.? | 13:37 |
| Hansard_ | Halitech: ATI HD4800 | 13:37 |
| indus | ActionParsnip: does he have the option of burning new cd version? | 13:37 |
| Halitech | Hansard_, 9.04? | 13:37 |
| Hansard_ | yes | 13:37 |
| WishingMaster | indus, ActionParsnip , i am back | 13:37 |
| Halitech | Hansard_, maybe try the ati driver http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx?type=2.4.1&product=2.4.1.3.36&lang=English | 13:38 |
| Hansard_ | I did | 13:38 |
| Hansard_ | it said it installed | 13:38 |
| indus | WishingMaster: like you said. 'ill be back' | 13:38 |
| Hansard_ | but I can't activate compiz because it can't find the driver | 13:38 |
| sean2009 | wellcome back | 13:38 |
| Halitech | Hansard_, did you run aticonfig --initial after you installed? | 13:38 |
| WishingMaster | Indus,yeah bro | 13:38 |
| Hansard_ | no | 13:38 |
| Hansard_ | brb I'll try that | 13:38 |
| WishingMaster | indus, evrything is up n running now | 13:38 |
| Halitech | Hansard_, try that, reboot and then see if compiz will start | 13:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Halitech: does that need sudo? | 13:38 |
| indus | is it true that laptop power management is poor compared to windows, especially windows 7? | 13:39 |
| WishingMaster | ActionParsnip, u r the man | 13:39 |
| Halitech | ActionParsnip, I believe it does, Hansard_ run it with sudo | 13:39 |
| WishingMaster | action | 13:39 |
| ActionParsnip | WishingMaster: i just advised, you did it man | 13:39 |
| sean2009 | How did the people in these rooms get so good at Linux..??? They seem to know everything | 13:39 |
| xqleg | hi, i've got problem with xampp and path to user files, how to configure it? | 13:40 |
| indus | sean2009: i dont know nothing | 13:40 |
| xqleg | //localhost/~user/ drives to /htdocs/~user directory not to /home/user/public_html | 13:40 |
| WishingMaster | ActionParsnip, i always follow ur advice and i come through all my troubles.........always | 13:40 |
| sean2009 | ok | 13:40 |
| anli_ | In sources.list, I changed all se.archives to old-releases and commented out every security.ubuntu.com line | 13:40 |
| Halitech | sean2009, comes with using it, breaking it, fixing it, wash rinse repeat :) | 13:40 |
| ActionParsnip | sean2009: while you were getting excited about xp. i was looking at other OSes | 13:40 |
| anli_ | then I did apt-get update | 13:40 |
| nibbler_ | sean2009: luckily there is plenty of ppl, but moinly u learn by doing and google ;-) | 13:40 |
| leaf-sheep | Okay okay. I got a new netbook -- Dell Mini 10. Really nice. Wifi works but the wired is broken although it worked in the netboot installer. What is the usual protocol for this? | 13:40 |
| anli_ | and do-release-upgrade | 13:40 |
| ActionParsnip | sean2009: im sure you can do tonnes in windows that i cant | 13:40 |
| anli_ | do-release-upgrade resulted in a lot of 404:s, produced an error message and a rollback | 13:40 |
| sean2009 | xp is a good os but i lke linux much more | 13:41 |
| sean2009 | i play games in xp | 13:41 |
| sean2009 | everything else is done on linux | 13:41 |
| leaf-sheep | sean2009: The longer you use... the more you know. Isn't it how you know stuffs about Windows too? :) | 13:41 |
| ActionParsnip | sean2009: some games run awesome in linux | 13:41 |
| indus | is windows 7 released? what cost is it | 13:41 |
| sean2009 | not many ive tried wine | 13:41 |
| ActionParsnip | indus: not sure and too much | 13:41 |
| Halitech | indus, its still in beta and its free but will stop working in June of next year | 13:42 |
| indus | sean2009: well,id games | 13:42 |
| Hansard_ | leaf-sheep: I know stuff about windows because of osmossis in my sleep. | 13:42 |
| indus | Halitech: aah october it comes i believe | 13:42 |
| leaf-sheep | sean2009: I use Xbox360/PS3/N64/PSP etc. (Gaming consoles). | 13:42 |
| indus | Halitech: it said 3 gb install so i didnt install it | 13:42 |
| lianimator | after I telnet to my router, how do I see the list of clients? | 13:42 |
| ActionParsnip | sean2009: some devs release linux native frontends so the game runs native, doom3 does this as does unreal tournament 2004 | 13:42 |
| sean2009 | the trouble with wine is that games dont work because of the copy protection | 13:42 |
| Halitech | indus, could be for the actual release, I got the testing release and its supposed to work until next summer, so far not overly impressed with it | 13:43 |
| sean2009 | ie it installls then says insert the disc | 13:43 |
| WishingMaster | ActionParsnip, is there a command to find out which drivers are most compatible with my sys and also what does dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg do? | 13:43 |
| Tutunkommon | is there a problem with the apt-get servers? Specifically, security.ubuntu.com? I can't even ping it, let alone update anything... | 13:43 |
| sean2009 | ActionParsnip, ok thanks | 13:43 |
| Hansard_ | Halitech: Desktop effects could not be enabled. | 13:43 |
| Halitech | anli_, you might be farther ahead to get an 8.04 cd and do a fresh install | 13:43 |
| anli_ | Halitech: is that how easy the apt system gets? :) | 13:43 |
| ZummiG777 | Question: I'm using a computer with a SVGA output - one the secondary mirrored screen everything is fine except the mouse cursor does not show up (but does on the primary screen). Is this a known/common problem? | 13:43 |
| sean2009 | leaf-sheep, yes i have all those too apart from psp | 13:43 |
| ActionParsnip | WishingMaster: do you mean hardware that is compatible, or the driver for your hardware? | 13:44 |
| Halitech | Hansard_, what does fglrxinfo give for output? | 13:44 |
| anli_ | It would be cool with an upgrade script that cannot fail miserably | 13:44 |

| WishingMaster | ActionParsnip, driver for my hardware | 13:44 |
| anli_ | Halitech: but not else | 13:44 |
| ActionParsnip | anil_: thats normal, you just left upgrading too long so upgrading your release isnt possible | 13:44 |
| ActionParsnip | WishingMaster: depends what hardware it is | 13:45 |
| anli_ | there should be no "left upgrading too long" | 13:45 |
| anli_ | then the package system fails | 13:45 |
| gossar | would this help anli_? | 13:45 |
| gossar | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades#7.10%20to%208.04%20(Gutsy%20to%20Hardy) | 13:45 |
| vigo | anli_: 8.04.3 is very stable. | 13:45 |
| Halitech | anli_, with 7.10 being eol, it makes it harder although using the old-archive it should allow you to update | 13:45 |
| sean2009 | what books did people read to learn about linux.? or can you recommend any web sites to learn.? | 13:45 |
| ActionParsnip | anil_: the relese you have is no longer supported or developed for so its forgotten. There is a helthy amount of time after the next release is released to make the transition | 13:45 |
| anli_ | gossar: taking a look | 13:46 |
| sfyn | Any recommendations for a binary viewer? | 13:46 |
| ActionParsnip | anil_: archlinux doenst have releases and has rolling upgrade | 13:46 |
| tim__b | Hi. Is there a simple way (shell) to find folders (including sub-folders) within a specified folder with the same name? (Please answer with my nick in it so i get highlighted, thanks). | 13:46 |

| Tutunkommon | Has anyone else noticed a problem with the update servers? | 13:46 |
| Halitech | Hansard_, something is definately not right there | 13:46 |
| ActionParsnip | WishingMaster: som have luck with this: http://webupd8.blogspot.com/2009/05/reverting-xorg-video-intel-driver-of.html | 13:47 |
| sean2009 | Halitech, but how.! i guess some people are better than others | 13:47 |
| Hansard_ | should I uninstall the ati driver? | 13:47 |
| sfyn | Tutunkommon: Could you specifiy the problem? | 13:47 |
| sean2009 | Halitech, you may laugh but i just recently got a grip on file permissions.! | 13:48 |
| Halitech | sean2009, it all depends on what you want to do, some just simply want to use it, some like myself, want to understand how the nuts and bolts work under the hood so look deeper | 13:48 |
| Halitech | Hansard_, I would | 13:48 |
| sean2009 | Halitech, iam the same as you . i like to know how things work | 13:48 |
| Hansard_ | I don't recall what the package is called, What command should I use to remove it? | 13:48 |
| Tutunkommon | Problem: Trying to do an apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.28-15-server so I can try out the VMWare player. I am unable to connect to archive.ubuntu.com or security.ubuntu.com which causes the install to fail. I can ping google, but pinging security.ubuntu.com fails as well | 13:49 |
| Halitech | sean2009, then read the forums, even if you don't know an answer, follow along and see what advice is given to fix issues, eventually it will all start making sense | 13:49 |
| Halitech | Hansard_, do a search in synaptic for ati | 13:50 |
| sean2009 | Hansard_, type in aptitude search ati that will list anything that starts with ati | 13:50 |
| Hansard_ | nothing came up | 13:50 |
| nibbler_ | Tutunkommon: maybe termporal networking problem of your isp? anyway, did you have a look at virtualbox? virtualisation without the hassle vmware will be for you with ubuntu | 13:50 |
| Hansard_ | sean2009: ok one sec | 13:50 |
| Halitech | Hansard_, maybe look for fglrx as well | 13:50 |

| x-flea | join #nolimit | 13:51 |
| sean2009 | Halitech, yes i do do that from time to time, luckily i dont have many major problems. | 13:51 |
| Tutunkommon | odd. ping isn't dropping the packets, it is just sitting there | 13:51 |
| sean2009 | if in doubt i google it | 13:51 |
| Hansard_ | ummm the xorg ati driver is still installed even though I installed the propriety driver.. could that be the problem? | 13:51 |
| Halitech | sean2009, I'm on there all the time reading | 13:51 |
| nibbler_ | Tutunkommon: ctrl-c it, you dont get dropped packets displayed during the run | 13:52 |
| sean2009 | ok if there's too much listed you could try --> aptitude search ati | more | 13:52 |
| Tutunkommon | right. I was just letting it sit to see if it snapped out of it at some point. | 13:52 |

| gartral | jems: workd fine here | 13:53 |
| Hansard_ | sean2009: that command came up with heaps of things. One of which was the xorg ati driver. Should I remove that to stop it conflicting with the propriety driver? | 13:53 |
| ActionParsnip | gartral: presntation in open office | 13:53 |
| ActionParsnip | gartral: define "presentation" | 13:54 |
| sean2009 | Hansard_, i can't advise you on that. can someone else help Hansard | 13:54 |
| gartral | ActionParsnip: AKA PowerPoint | 13:54 |
| sean2009 | Hansard_, i'm a beginner also | 13:54 |
| ActionParsnip | gartral: all i know is presentation in openoffice | 13:54 |
| Tutunkommon | Hilight: Nope... That hangs up too | 13:55 |
| gartral | ActionParsnip: i have 3 PP documents that someone asked me too look at.. | 13:55 |
| vigo | I just did sudo aptitude update , worked a little funny, but worked, then sudo aptitude upgrade, flawless, v9.04 or something. | 13:55 |
| ActionParsnip | gartral: you may be ale to run some form of powerpoint viewerin wine | 13:55 |
| Halitech | gartral, open office should open them | 13:55 |
| ActionParsnip | gartral: i dont use powerpoint so only know the openoffice app | 13:56 |
| gartral | Halitech: thanks.. i use OOo maybe once every two months | 13:56 |
| sean2009 | Hansard_, you could try to remove the xserver-xorg-video-ati driver if that doesn't work then install it again. But someone needs to verify that. I don't want to mess up your computer.!! | 13:56 |
| Tutunkommon | hrm. Tracert wasn't real informative. Plenty of * * * entries, thought I did get through Atlanta and over to London | 13:56 |
| ActionParsnip | gartral: i use abiword, the rest of OOo i dont use so is a massive bloat to me | 13:56 |
| Halitech | gartral, I don't use it much either but a friend sends me PPS files as jokes alot and they always open | 13:56 |

| gau | es not find any addy and times out; tried searching the net most say blueman just works but not for me any got a point for where to look for the problem? | 14:20 |
| shyam_k` | sean2009: manages in terms of more like loading and unloading those sessions.. as you prolly has seen blackbox may not require a gdm to work.. | 14:20 |
| skapism | xubuntu has many gtk dependencies, but they try not to use too many gnome libraries, so far as I understand it | 14:20 |
| skapism | shyam_k`: this has nothing to do with blackbox, you can start gnome from the command line too | 14:21 |
| skapism | shyam_k`: gdm just logs you in graphically | 14:21 |

| shyam_k` | skapism: yeah thats what i tried to say.. as he said he uses blackbox i just said an example. it may not use gdm.. | 14:22 |
| sean2009 | skapism, is gdm a type of getty thing .? | 14:22 |
| shyam_k` | sean2009: as skapism its more like a login app there is also kdm, and even you can use gdm to login to a blackbox session. | 14:23 |
| shyam_k` | *as skapism said... | 14:23 |
| Halitech | there is alos Slim | 14:23 |
| sean2009 | on arch linux i made a script that basically says--> xinit /usr/bin/blackbox it starts up that way | 14:24 |
| sean2009 | shyam_k`, ok thanks for telling me | 14:24 |
| shyam_k` | yeah instead if you want a pretty screen that lets you choose your session or what ever, you can get that with gdm | 14:24 |
| sean2009 | shyam_k`, i bought the cheapest laptop i could find and installed arch linux on it. | 14:25 |
| jems | thanks, yahoo chat is working....is it possible to enter yahoo chatrooms | 14:25 |
| sean2009 | shyam_k`, i cant run the wireless driver so i use the ethernet port | 14:25 |
| shyam_k` | sean2009: you could check the latest kernels to get the driver working which is your card? | 14:26 |
| sean2009 | broadcom | 14:26 |
| sean2009 | ive tried the 43 firware thing | 14:26 |
| sean2009 | it didnt work | 14:26 |
| sean2009 | b43 firmware | 14:26 |
| shyam_k` | broadcom is notorious;-) you could see the hardware list at fsf.org | 14:27 |
| sean2009 | shyam_k`, im not too bothered though as i know if i put a live cd of ubuntu it finds the driver / wifi card no problem | 14:27 |
| shyam_k` | hmm.. | 14:28 |
| sean2009 | shyam_k`, plus i bought it to learn linux on, therefore i chose the hardest version of linux | 14:28 |
| sean2009 | to learn on | 14:28 |
| sean2009 | Ubuntu is my main OS on another laptop | 14:28 |
| shyam_k` | yeah its cool to try the source based distros too. | 14:29 |
| Night_Elf | Hi. I was wondering, does the Ubuntu live-cd have the sshd bundled? I mean, is it possible to remotely access a system running a live-cd ? | 14:30 |
| shyam_k` | quite often, i can ping to my home router but i can't ping anything outside. I can telnet to my home router and then it can ping to external sites. How can i trouble shoot it? | 14:30 |
| sean2009 | shyam_k`, yes like slackware - but i dont want to spend 10 days compiling when arch has its own software repos like ubuntu has | 14:30 |
| leaf-sheep | Night_Elf: No. You can just install the package 'openssh-server' and start using it right away. | 14:30 |
| leaf-sheep | Night_Elf: Might have to do "sudo passwd" too -- to create a root password. | 14:31 |
| Night_Elf | leaf-sheep: and if it asks for any upgrades during that ? | 14:31 |
| shyam_k` | leaf-sheep: Night_Elf but just to make an ssh session with a remote system you may not need openssh-server right? | 14:31 |
| Pici | leaf-sheep, Night_Elf: no, sudo doesnt require a password on the livecd | 14:31 |
| sean2009 | Night_Elf, dont upgrade as they get stored in memory i think | 14:31 |
| sean2009 | on the live cd | 14:32 |
| Night_Elf | sean2009: that's what I was thinking | 14:32 |
| leaf-sheep | Night_Elf: What are you trying to accomplish? Everytime you run it, it'll ask for upgrades, you might as well ignore it. | 14:32 |
| leaf-sheep | Pici: What is the password for ubuntu account on LiveCD? ubuntu or is it randomly generated? | 14:32 |
| Night_Elf | sean2009: leaf-sheep: My friend has a trouble and has asked me for some help. His system won't boot and he has a livecd handy | 14:32 |
| Pici | leaf-sheep: I don't recall what it is off the top of my head. Sorry, Probably best to create a new user and go from there. | 14:33 |
| sean2009 | Night_Elf, why not buy a flash drive and install a distro onto that for the ssh | 14:33 |
| leaf-sheep | Pici: I'm not sure either. :P | 14:33 |
| shyam_k` | how can i trouble shoot the connection between router and laptop? the router can ping external sites but laptop can't. I can't see how can i proceed :( | 14:33 |
| sean2009 | Night_Elf, i use RIP or partition magic | 14:33 |
| Night_Elf | sean2009: I think it's a matter of time. He just phoned me about it. | 14:33 |
| sean2009 | for recovery | 14:33 |
| shyam_k` | !network | 14:34 |
| ubottu | Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 14:34 |
| sean2009 | Night_Elf, in fact you can use any live cd and then go from there to edit startup files | 14:34 |
| leaf-sheep | Night_Elf: You can tell your buddy to just pop in the disc ; sudo aptitude install openssh-server ; and have him reset/create account/make new root password/etc so you can ssh in. | 14:34 |
| Night_Elf | sean2009: for some reason his raid setup won't work anymore, he says one of the disks is dead and I wanted to try any recovery remotely. | 14:34 |
| sean2009 | Night_Elf, i dont know the answer to that sorry | 14:35 |
| Night_Elf | leaf-sheep: I'll have him try that. | 14:35 |
| frogzoo | mmm raid should still work with a disk out... | 14:36 |
| sean2009 | I use just a basic one disk system laptop | 14:36 |
| ActionParsnip | frogzoo: by definaition ;) it has redundancy (hence why raid-0 isnt true raid) | 14:36 |

| sean2009 | does anyone know of a program to play those .SWF game files that you find? some of those games are pretty good, but i don't want to redownload everything when i want to play a game or have to be online to play it. | 14:39 |
| sean2009 | unk2k, i dont know | 14:40 |
| Pici | unk2k: Its a link to something in russian, what does this have to do with Ubuntu support? | 14:40 |
| sean2009 | its probably some trojan virus link | 14:40 |
| FirstSgt | is there a way to "reset" my panel layout back to default (gnome/ubuntu 9.04) | 14:40 |
| Pici | !resetpanels | FirstSgt sure | 14:41 |
| ubottu | FirstSgt sure: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 14:41 |
| FirstSgt | Pici: wow. | 14:41 |
| sean2009 | ubottu, you typed the answer faster than he typed the question.! | 14:41 |

| Spike1506 | how much programming knowledge does someone need to become a ubuntu developer? | 14:42 |
| sean2009 | ok that explains it | 14:42 |
| grawity | sean2009: No signs of any trojans there. Just a couple of anecdotes in Russian. | 14:42 |
| FirstSgt | Pici: it worked! | 14:42 |
| sean2009 | Spike1506, none if you send in artwork | 14:42 |
| Pici | FirstSgt: yay | 14:42 |
| sean2009 | grawity, ok thanks for telling me. I am always cautious of the russian links | 14:43 |
| FirstSgt | Any way to make it run faster on my slow laptops (I convert 100% to ubuntu). | 14:43 |
| FirstSgt | i'd like it to run as quickly as my windows 2000 (or win98se) did at the time. | 14:43 |
| Spike1506 | sean2009, im not good with artwork, im more a java developer :P | 14:43 |
| FirstSgt | should I use something other than gnome for a faster desktop with ubuntu? | 14:43 |
| ^Nannie^ | ---H--E--L--L--O-----A--L--L--!--!--!--!--- | 14:44 |
| Halitech | FirstSgt, you could look at XFCE or LXDE | 14:44 |
| FirstSgt | Halitech: XFCE is old school :) i'll try it. | 14:44 |
| FirstSgt | never heard of LXDE | 14:44 |
| sean2009 | Spike1506, ok, just send in whatever. iam sure you will have some thing good to contribute | 14:44 |
| === MUWAHAHAHAHA is now known as Anodyne | ||
| Halitech | FirstSgt, I've been using XFCE for 2 years now and I love it, LXDE is fairly new but its available for 9.04 in the repo and other versions in download from their website | 14:45 |
| sean2009 | Spike1506, myself, i dont know anything about programming, and i can't draw either.! | 14:45 |
| FirstSgt | Halitech: very cool. all i need is a terminal window and a browser | 14:46 |
| Halitech | FirstSgt, just do a minimal install and add xorg and a browser | 14:46 |
| FirstSgt | preferablly semi-transparent so i can see firebug on the browser behind ;) | 14:46 |
| sean2009 | FiReSTaRT, yes i like the basic look aswell | 14:47 |
| sean2009 | KDE takes up too much memory and resources - on my pc anyway | 14:47 |
| FirstSgt | sean2009: it does on my old laptops as well. | 14:47 |
| sean2009 | snap | 14:47 |
| FiReSTaRT | sean2009: yeah, the basic look is half-decent :D | 14:48 |
| FirstSgt | sean2009: and im not going to throw away a laptop that is 3 years old. i feel like i would be throwing an infant in the garbage can :P | 14:48 |
| sean2009 | FiReSTaRT, i have limited memory so i use blackbox | 14:48 |
| heatmzzr | a .tar.bz2 file, how do I properly extract it sso things go where they are supposed to? | 14:49 |
| sean2009 | FiReSTaRT, i agree, i don't like to throw things away that work either | 14:49 |
| FiReSTaRT | sean2009: you may wanna double-check your use of tab.. i think you're talking to FirstSgt :P | 14:49 |
| kwork | 3 years old laptop is decent router with built in ups :P | 14:49 |
| sean2009 | heatmzzr, try tar jxvf filename | 14:49 |
| shos | Hello, I was wondering since the Ctrl+Alt+BackSpace doesn't make the x-server to crash like older gnome versions... How do I get the x-server to crash and the Ubuntu (JAunty amd64) to throw me into a shell? | 14:49 |
| Pici | !dontzap | shos | 14:50 |
| ubottu | shos: 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. | 14:50 |
| kwork | Shoe, ctrl + alt + f1 to get the first shell | 14:50 |

| sean2009 | FiReSTaRT, although iam still a beginner i do like to learn linux | 14:51 |
| sean2009 | and what better way than the basics. ie no GUI | 14:51 |
| sean2009 | and 720x400 resolution | 14:51 |
| ActionParsnip | sean2009: use gui, just use the system. You will learn | 14:51 |
| kwork | theres nothing basic in no gui :P | 14:51 |
| FiReSTaRT | sean2009: well ubuntu's the easy way to go about it.. just about everything's idiot-proof.. i only use the shell when i have no other choice :) | 14:51 |

| Abhinav1 | when I am trying "sudo apt-get install debootstrap" it giving me that it is not available ? what to do? | 14:55 |
| sean2009 | yes sorry | 14:55 |
| FiReSTaRT | actually i might as well come up with a support question.. does anyone run a usb-only HP printer with an aftermarket (non-jetdirect) print server? | 14:56 |
| grawity | Abhinav1: What is the exact error message you get? | 14:56 |
| FiReSTaRT | Abhinav1: try searching for it in synaptic, you might be misspelling the name of the package | 14:56 |
| sean2009 | FiReSTaRT, no not me | 14:56 |
| Abhinav1 | FiReSTaRT: may be the source list is missing something | 14:57 |
| slayerboyLAP | are the ubuntu repos down? | 14:57 |
| sean2009 | try a sudo apt-get update | 14:57 |
| rabby | hi | 14:57 |

| ubottu | rabby>: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 14:57 |
| FiReSTaRT | Abhinav1: actually kwork has a good possible solution.. try changing the mirror | 14:58 |
| kwork | just lately our regional mirror was down for week :( | 14:58 |
| slayerboyLAP | kwork, ok i'll try that....think it's the main canonical mirror that I was using | 14:58 |
| kwork | now i accuired 1tb drive to make my ownr mirror | 14:58 |
| FiReSTaRT | Abhinav1: if you're sure you didn't misspell the package name | 14:58 |
| Abhinav1 | FiReSTaRT: Yah | 14:58 |
| sean2009 | did you try aptitude search that always works better for me | 14:59 |

| ubottu | rick__>: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 15:00 |
| rick__ | the mine are do it very nice with x ubuntyu | 15:00 |
| Axz | Guys any idea why does terminal stucks at "99% [Connecting to nl.archive.ubuntu.com (91.189.88.45)" when do apt-get update | 15:00 |
| rabby | only firefox eats some cpu and i always have to wait, just see http://rabuser.homeip.net/test/leck.png | 15:00 |
| kwork | rabby, use lightweight windowmanager, like fluxbox | 15:00 |
| sean2009 | slayton, a basic solution would be to copy tthe files onto a flash drive | 15:00 |
| slayton | sean2009, not really a solution b/c that would require me to copy the files every time I make a change on one of the two computers | 15:01 |
| rabby | kwork: i like the gnome and with gentoo it always was very fluent and fast... | 15:01 |
| kwork | rabby maybe something wrong with your gfx drivers, it shouldnot look like that at all | 15:01 |
| FiReSTaRT | rabby: i can hear my fan go on every time FF starts giving me the memory leak crap.. just open system monitor and close the npviewer.bin process | 15:01 |
| rabby | kwork: the system has 2GB ram and a dual core 4200+ athlon... | 15:01 |
| slayton | rabby, try using a program like htop to see what is slowing down your system | 15:01 |
| rick__ | xD can some people help me : | 15:01 |
| sean2009 | slayton, ok | 15:01 |
| slayton | sean2009, thanks though | 15:01 |
| rick__ | at windows i had 2 harddisk : C and D and now i have 1 but the "D" doenst work | 15:02 |
| rabby | slayton: is there a kind of benchmark tool which can tell me what is missing? or is htop the right for me already? | 15:02 |
| FiReSTaRT | rabby: ff will keep working and the memory leak will stop... also install ff 3.5, it reduces the number of memory leak occurrences | 15:02 |
| slayton | rabby, htop will tell you what process are running, how much ram and cpu time they are using | 15:02 |
| Halitech | slayton, are the machines networked? you could try putting the data file on 1 and point both machines to the same data file | 15:02 |
| kwork | never used that htop, but seems more fancy then normal top :P | 15:02 |
| rabby | FiReSTaRT, slayton: i hope it is not because of twin view with the 2 monitors... | 15:03 |
| slayton | Halitech, unfortuneatly they aren't but I can access one machine over ssh | 15:03 |
| rabby | but with gentoo it rocked all the time, even with older ff | 15:03 |
| kwork | rabby : prolly something somewhere is killing the system, because i have even worse machine and it works like a charm | 15:03 |
| Halitech | slayton, hmmm, not sure if you could mount the drive with ssh and have it work or not | 15:03 |
| FiReSTaRT | rabby: i never had any issues with running 2 monitors (configured with the nvidia xserver settings) | 15:03 |
| icarus | where are all the icons stored in ubuntu? | 15:03 |
| abhilashm86 | i need to connect ubuntu 8.10 laptop to projector screen,its an HP laptop, can anyone tell how to do this? are there any functional keys to do this | 15:04 |
| slayton | icarus, depends | 15:04 |
| kwork | rabby and im on kde, what is more resoruces hungry | 15:04 |
| abhilashm86 | i want to see display both on laptop and projector screen | 15:04 |
| FiReSTaRT | rabby: but i have developed browser memory leak issues.. the worst one comes from opera (almost 100% of a core almost every time), more sporadic and less severe from ff, non-existent with the developer version of chrome) | 15:04 |
| rabby | kwork: so i have good chance to get it fixed | 15:04 |
| icarus | slayton, could you give me a hint :) | 15:04 |
| FiReSTaRT | abhilashm86: you installed the nvidia drivers? | 15:05 |
| slayton | icarus, it depends on what icons, | 15:05 |
| Halitech | icarus, /usr/share/icons I believe | 15:05 |
| abhilashm86 | FireStart: compiz and others work fine, drivers are well fine | 15:05 |
| larmeh | hi there | 15:05 |
| FiReSTaRT | abhilashm86: hook up to the screen, open nvidia xserver settings, go to x server display configuration, click on detect displays, select the projector display and configure the resolution/location | 15:06 |
| abhilashm86 | FireStart: how to setup projector? | 15:06 |
| stealth- | anyone know how to stop cryptsetup from asking for password on boot? | 15:06 |

| FiReSTaRT | rabby: system, administration, system monitor, end the npviewer.bin process | 15:07 |
| sean2009 | stealth-, perhaps to edit the configuration file or uninstall.?? sorry i dont know | 15:07 |
| grawity | Halitech: Or /usr/local/share/icons, and ~/.local/share/icons | 15:07 |

| xover | i cannot get authorsation | 15:10 |
| Halitech | icarus, nope, combination of where I live and being a tech | 15:10 |
| FiReSTaRT | abhilashm86: try system, administration, hardware drivers.. if you have an nvidia chipset, you should be able to select it and have the drivers installed.. easy gui | 15:10 |
| icarus | Halitech, ok thank | 15:10 |
| slayerboyLAP | sirGuest, it depends on how many seeds and peers the particular torrent has on the tracker, as long as you are connected there's not much you can do | 15:11 |
| FiReSTaRT | abhilashm86: one caveat.. it hangs on me and looks like it crashed, so i just let it camp for about 15min, "cancel" the install and when i re-try it, it shows that it has been installed.. just a jockey bug | 15:11 |
| Halitech | AnxiousNut, you can search here http://distrowatch.com/search.php | 15:11 |
| sirGuest | There were plenty of seeds. I was trying to DL some OS's and those are always very rapid. | 15:12 |
| abhilashm86 | FireStart: hey actually that laptop has'nt nvidia graphics card, its intel motherboard, is Nvidia compulsory for this display on projector? | 15:12 |
| slayerboyLAP | sirGuest, this channel is for ubuntu support, torrents aren't really an ubuntu issue, sorry man :( | 15:12 |
| FiReSTaRT | abhilashm86: no.. but you should have a display configuration tool under system, administration | 15:12 |
| sean2009 | Just to let everyone know - the latest 2.6.3x.x kernel & nvidia xxxxxpkg.run (from nvidia website) don't work together. | 15:13 |
| abhilashm86 | FireStart: are there any other display configrations tools? | 15:13 |
| FiReSTaRT | abhilashm86: i am rocking an hp-dv9894ca and it has the nvidia chipset.. not sure how you configure it or what it's called for that matter | 15:13 |
| rabby | FiReSTaRT: i will brb. give me some minutes to upgrade to the newest ff and test this, too... | 15:13 |
| Lartza_ | What audio output and mixer does ubuntu use by default? | 15:13 |
| abhilashm86 | what if i do like this, boot windows, there F8 wil work with projector, then restart and use ubuntu......... | 15:14 |
| sirGuest | I assumed it was for ubuntu and the software ran on it | 15:14 |
| FiReSTaRT | abhilashm86: try under the system, administration menu and see if there is anything about displays, graphics etc etc etc | 15:14 |
| FiReSTaRT | abhilashm86: why if you haven't even tried configuring it in ubuntu? | 15:14 |
| slayerboyLAP | sirGuest, maybe check to see if you have some kind of firewall installed or port blocking on your router | 15:14 |
| FiReSTaRT | rabby: it's not in the official repos.. you'll have to either install a prepackaged deb or compile from source.. i just used the deb | 15:15 |
| abhilashm86 | FireStart: actaully i'm helping my freind, we are having ubuntu demo in college:) so now doing things....... | 15:15 |
| sirGuest | slayerboyLAP: Its a new issue that does not change based on location | 15:15 |
| FiReSTaRT | abhilashm86: i know but why try it from windows if you still haven't tried setting it up in ubuntu? lol | 15:16 |
| abhilashm86 | FireStart: ha ha, no i'm keeping last option, pls don't mind!! | 15:16 |
| PolitikerNEU | Hello everyone, I have a problem with audacity: Whenver I open my project, all controls disable - what can I do to avoid this? | 15:17 |
| FiReSTaRT | abhilashm86: no problem with that.. but first TRY configuring it in ubuntu.. for that you need to start the configuration tool for the intel chipset :) | 15:17 |
| sean2009 | PolitikerNEU, hallo und hertzlich welkommen.! | 15:18 |
| FiReSTaRT | abhilashm86: hang on i'll be back in 5-10min | 15:18 |

| sean2009 | PolitikerNEU, ja ich weiss. tut mir leid. ich habe keine ahnung.! | 15:19 |

| sean2009 | Lartza_, do you mean a normal media player? like vlc or the like.? | 15:21 |
| Lartza_ | What?? | 15:21 |
| sean2009 | are you trying to play music? | 15:22 |
| Lartza_ | Yes with mpd | 15:22 |
| Lartza_ | Music Player Daemon | 15:22 |
| sean2009 | ok, just now it was mpc | 15:22 |
| Lartza_ | Both | 15:22 |
| Lartza_ | mpc is Music Player Client right? | 15:23 |
| Lartza_ | FOr controlling the daemon | 15:23 |
| sean2009 | i have no idea | 15:23 |

| K3rl0u4rn | hello, I have accidently removed a partition with fdisk on my harddrive that I would to restore | 15:24 |
| Lartza_ | YOu already applied it?? | 15:24 |
| Lartza_ | On fdisk | 15:24 |
| K3rl0u4rn | yep | 15:24 |
| sean2009 | K3rl0u4rn, if you wrote the changes then theres a good chance its all been deleted | 15:25 |
| K3rl0u4rn | wouldn't ask :) | 15:25 |
| axel_s | hi, how can I start that network setup flow again, that I got during installation? | 15:25 |
| Lartza_ | Format or not? | 15:25 |
| Lartza_ | K3rl0u4rn: DId fdisk format or just make the changes? | 15:25 |
| K3rl0u4rn | no, fdisk does not format anything, just removes the partition from the partition table | 15:25 |
| Lartza_ | Oh right I got confused | 15:25 |
| === odder_ is now known as odder | ||
| smooth_penguin | anyone here use an Acer Aspire One D250 netbook? | 15:25 |
| Lartza_ | It might be possible if you don't format but I'm not sure how | 15:26 |
| K3rl0u4rn | I should be able to make it come back if I can create a new one exactly on the same blocks | 15:26 |
| K3rl0u4rn | I did that in the past | 15:26 |
| Lartza_ | Good luck on that ;) | 15:26 |
| sean2009 | smooth_penguin, yes i have an acer aspire one but its the 150aw version | 15:26 |
| smooth_penguin | sean2009, | 15:26 |
| K3rl0u4rn | my problem is that I initially created the partition with gparted | 15:26 |
| smooth_penguin | whats the PCI ID | 15:26 |
| jrib | Lartza_: just install it (it's in the repositories), add some music to the right directory (check /etc/mpd.conf), add some music to the playlist (you should probably use ncmpc or some other client), and then use mpc to start, stop, play etc... | 15:27 |
| K3rl0u4rn | and the partition did not start at an exact cylinder | 15:27 |
| sean2009 | smooth_penguin, I dont know its not turned on at the moment | 15:27 |
| K3rl0u4rn | I'm not sure that gparted would not format if I try with it | 15:27 |
| K3rl0u4rn | and I can't find a way to enter the exact block value with fdisk | 15:27 |
| smooth_penguin | sean2009, oh ok did you get the ethernet working | 15:27 |
| sean2009 | smooth_penguin, yes i have #! installed on it | 15:28 |
| xrfang | hi there could anyone recommend a cross platform (windows linux) email (pop3, pop3s, imap etc) downloader that works similar to wget? | 15:28 |
| sean2009 | smooth_penguin, #! = cruchbang = ubuntu with out bells and whistles | 15:28 |

| goldins | ah | 15:30 |
| goldins | never mind | 15:30 |
| sean2009 | smooth_penguin, type in this -->> dmesg | grep eth | less | 15:30 |
| sean2009 | see if it detects it | 15:30 |
| goldins | (I swear it was sitting there for a good 5 minutes, but now it's moving) | 15:30 |
| sean2009 | or lspci | 15:31 |
| FiReSTaRT | abhilashm86: there better be one or he can't see anything on his screen.. tell him to run system, administration, hardware drivers and tell us what's installed and what's available (usually only 1-2 drivers) | 15:31 |
| smooth_penguin | sean2009, it does | 15:31 |
| smooth_penguin | sean2009, its even using the right kernel driver | 15:31 |

| rabby | thanks to the helpers! | 15:33 |
| Reactor | Can somebody help me with samba server? | 15:33 |
| Qvintvs | genii: is that for programs that are constantly running? I'm looking to try and monitor the total memory usage of commands that are running for <10 secs | 15:33 |
| ganeshpaidtsfi | No proprietary drivers are in use..... | 15:34 |
| FiReSTaRT | rabby: good to hear.. it should also reduce the memory leak frequency.. as i said, my biggest issue was the npviewer bin process.. if you see it taking up like 15+% of resources, end it :) | 15:34 |
| lash9420 | So I just fired ubuntu for the first time. I am currently running it live off the disc. I am really unsure of what to do next. I want to install it. I go through the menus, until I get to the partion manager. I MUST KEEP MY WINDOWS partition. How do I edit these so I can?? | 15:34 |
| abhilashm86 | FireStart: Ganeshpaidtsfi: he is my friend and his laptop | 15:34 |
| FiReSTaRT | ganeshpaidtsfi: you're abhilashm86's friend? | 15:34 |
| Cpudan80 | lash9420: did you defrag your computer? | 15:34 |
| ganeshpaidtsfi | Yup, n its my first time in irc | 15:35 |
| FiReSTaRT | ganeshpaidtsfi: ok, so you're running on open drivers... go to system, administration and check if there is an option to configure graphics | 15:35 |
| thiebaude | lash9420, you the side by side option | 15:35 |
| vipin | u can install ubuntu using wubi @ lash | 15:35 |
| rabby | FiReSTaRT: i am not sure, but i think i replaced this npviewer bin and fixed it a month ago to find out if flash was the reason for mem hog | 15:35 |
| Cpudan80 | lash9420: well - back up -- are you going to install Ubuntu/Windows on the same physical hard drive? | 15:35 |
| lash9420 | Cpudan80: No I didn't....you mean in Windows right? | 15:35 |
| Ben64 | I've got hardy heron, tried to be able to control my cpu frequency manually, instead of just ondemand and performance, and now it's stuck at 1000mhz, whats up? | 15:35 |
| Cpudan80 | lash9420: yes | 15:35 |
| FiReSTaRT | ganeshpaidtsfi: actually go to system, preferences, display | 15:35 |
| ganeshpaidtsfi | I don find any options for graphics | 15:35 |
| Mitsurugi | hi all | 15:35 |
| Cpudan80 | lash9420: Although, as vipin said, you could use wubi and install Ubuntu directly in windows | 15:35 |
| Cpudan80 | lash9420: you could also use a Virtual Machine in windows | 15:36 |
| FiReSTaRT | ganeshpaidtsfi: once you plug in the projector, click on Detect Monitors and then configure it :) | 15:36 |
| abhilashm86 | FireStart: Detect monitors, where is that option? | 15:36 |
| DareDevil0 | Hi you there? | 15:36 |
| lash9420 | Cpudan80 I've tried Wubi before. It hasn't worked (? not sure exactly waht the problem has been) And I want a permanent install. | 15:36 |
| Mitsurugi | when i have a message like: "usb 1-2: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 19" means that my usb hard disk is rebooting? | 15:36 |
| abhilashm86 | FireStart: now no projector, we'l try tomorow | 15:36 |
| Reactor | Help me smb plz | 15:36 |
| ganeshpaidtsfi | Firestart: K,thanx, wil see to it... | 15:36 |
| DareDevil0 | I need a software to create pictures presentation for a DVD Player | 15:37 |
| FiReSTaRT | abhilashm86: next to Mirror Screens :) | 15:37 |
| Mitsurugi | DareDevil0, mistelix | 15:37 |
| Cpudan80 | lash9420: A virtual machine would be a sane way to go if you're really worried about partitioning | 15:37 |
| Mitsurugi | oh fuck, | 15:37 |
| ikorin | Reactor: repeat your question | 15:37 |
| FiReSTaRT | abhilashm86, ganeshpaidtsfi ok good luck.. but that should allow you to set up the extra display :) | 15:37 |
| Pici | Mitsurugi: Please mind your language here. | 15:37 |
| DareDevil0 | Mitsurugi, jajajaja, i am looking for more options | 15:37 |
| lash9420 | Cpudan80, Won't that be a lot slower? | 15:37 |
| Reactor | I have some problems with my Samba server | 15:37 |
| Cpudan80 | lash9420: But - if you want to partition, you MUST defrag windows prior to installation | 15:37 |
| Mitsurugi | Pici, what's the problem? | 15:37 |
| thiebaude | !language | Mitsurugi | 15:37 |
| ubottu | Mitsurugi: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 15:37 |
| Cpudan80 | lash9420: depends on your system specs, what are they ? | 15:37 |

| lash9420 | Cpudan80, Amd Turion X2 (64) 200gb HDD. 3gb ram | 15:38 |
| Cpudan80 | lash9420: good grief - a VM would work fine | 15:38 |
| FiReSTaRT | abhilashm86: i don't think there will be any.. sorry i mislead you in the first place, but with nvidia proprietary drivers, i use a different config tool.. fortunately yours is simpler to use :P | 15:38 |
| Reactor | ikorin: Network users can't get guest access | 15:38 |
| lash9420 | Cpudan80, Why dont I just use Wubi then? | 15:38 |
| thiebaude | !wubi | 15:39 |
| ikorin | Reactor: do you edit samba.conf ? | 15:39 |
| Mitsurugi | when i have a message like: "usb 1-2: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 19" means that my usb hard disk is rebooting? | 15:39 |
| ubottu | Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. | 15:39 |
| Cpudan80 | lash9420: you could ... but a VM is the only sure fire way to make sure nothing blows up | 15:39 |
| FiReSTaRT | abhilashm86, ganeshpaidtsfi you guys can still play around with it by plugging in a monitor or a tv just to test it and learn the ropes :) | 15:39 |
| Reactor | ikorin: yh | 15:39 |
| Cpudan80 | lash9420: what do you want to do in Ubuntu is probably a better question | 15:39 |
| lash9420 | Cpudan80 Hmmm......I mean. I want to use this as my primary operating system. | 15:39 |
| Cpudan80 | oh | 15:39 |
| Qvintvs | no ideas on the memory usage thing? I'm trying to see which of two of my algorithms are more memory efficent (well, I know which one is more efficient, but I'm trying to find out by how much) | 15:39 |
| Reactor | ikorin: If you mean /etc/samba/smb.conf | 15:39 |
| Cpudan80 | well in that case - you'd need to partition / install | 15:40 |
| vipin | lash, i think vm will slow down ur system, its better u use wubi to install ubuntu, u can try latest version of ubuntu if u having some problems in installing with wubi | 15:40 |
| lash9420 | Cpudan80But I will still need use windows. | 15:40 |
| ikorin | Reactor: yep, i think you should google the example conf for this | 15:40 |
| ph33r | hi, I got some problem after upgrading to the new kernel in 9.04, 1] the conky appears on top of all windows 2] the windows drives do not show up in the desktop, I have to click (mount) them in nautilus and then it appears 3] the wireless card doesnt work, have to type in the commands to detect n scan for wireless; driver wl, any ideas what's going wrong ? | 15:40 |
| Reactor | ikorin: I tried | 15:40 |
| Cpudan80 | lash9420: You can resize your windows partition | 15:40 |
| lash9420 | Vipin, okay. So Wubi it is? | 15:40 |
| Speaker-to-Compu | well that's wierd. When I plug my headphones in halfway, I get the expected half audio, but when I plug them in all the way, I get no audio. This only happens under Ubuntu; there is no problem when I boot Windows. | 15:40 |
| lash9420 | Cpudan80 How? | 15:40 |
| ganeshpaidtsfi | Firestart: How do i detect other monitors on ubuntu.... I'm new to it | 15:40 |
| ganeshpaidtsfi | i donno about displays | 15:41 |
| Cpudan80 | lash9420: if you have vista you can do that from within windows, otherwise you can use the tool on the install disk | 15:41 |
| cocoa117 | is the stricky bit only work for other user? "chmod u=rwx,g=rwxt,o= test2" always give me drwxrwx---. i thought it supports to be drwxrwt--- | 15:41 |
| ikorin | Reactor: or maybe someone have it in this channel | 15:41 |
| lash9420 | Cpudan80 Which I'm quite confused with | 15:41 |
| Reactor | ikorin: ? | 15:41 |
| Cpudan80 | lash9420: well first you need to make sure you defrag ... then you go into the installer and move the sliders around to get the right partition sizes | 15:41 |
| lash9420 | Cpudan80 In windows or ubuntu? | 15:41 |
| FiReSTaRT | ganeshpaidtsfi: system, preferences, display | 15:41 |
| FiReSTaRT | ganeshpaidtsfi: then you click on detect monitors | 15:42 |
| Cpudan80 | lash9420: Do you have Vista? | 15:42 |
| lash9420 | Cpudan80 Yes | 15:42 |
| ikorin | Reactor: wait a minute ill check my config | 15:42 |
| Speaker-to-Compu | well that's wierd. When I plug my headphones in halfway, I get the expected half audio, but when I plug them in all the way, I get no audio. This only happens under Ubuntu; there is no problem when I boot Windows. | 15:42 |
| Cpudan80 | lash9420: then just resize the partition using vista's tool (##windows for that) | 15:42 |
| ganeshpaidtsfi | I don hav dat option, dats why i,m stuck..... | 15:42 |
| lash9420 | Cpudan80 Okay thanks!! | 15:42 |

| Lartza_ | ChaosR: Program or process is what? | 15:52 |
| ChaosR | Lartza_: skype | 15:52 |

| ChaosR | plus, I can't login because skype says its still running | 15:53 |
| Lartza_ | ChaosR: Skype won't start or you can't login? | 15:54 |
| ChaosR | it starts, but gives the error: another instance is running, login failed | 15:54 |
| fufu | skype reserves port 80 , so maybe it has something to do with that | 15:54 |
| Reactor | ikorin: now guest access is available but windows clients return msg like they "There isn't enough rights" | 15:54 |

| ikorin | Reactor: hmm.. one sec | 15:55 |
| ChaosR | grawity: obviously it does | 15:55 |
| Chousuke | ChaosR: it's a zombie then. | 15:55 |
| grawity | ChaosR: The process is killed, unless it's in the middle of I/O or something. | 15:55 |
| === Funky1 is now known as NickDeNeger | ||
| ChaosR | grawity: program is still alive, lets try some other signals | 15:55 |

| Lartza_ | grawity: New skype instance detects it | 15:55 |
| Lartza_ | fuf: It's popably not visible | 15:55 |
| grawity | ChaosR: But many programs use things such as "lock files". For example, you run Skype, it creates a lockfile in its profile directory. | 15:56 |
| Chousuke | ChaosR: if kill -9 does not kill a process, nothing will :) | 15:56 |
| Lartza_ | fufu: ANd killall didin't work | 15:56 |
| Lartza_ | Yea just restart maybe? | 15:56 |
| ChaosR | grawity: its in top and ps | 15:56 |
| ikorin | Reactor: do u have: map to guiest = bad user? | 15:56 |
| ChaosR | I guess this is the first time in my whole live a error will be solved by a reboot on linux | 15:56 |
| grawity | ChaosR: If, after SIGKILL, a process is still running, it's either a) a zombie ('Z' in ps aux), or b) in deep sleep ('D' in ps aux) | 15:56 |
| ikorin | Reactor: *guest | 15:56 |
| ChaosR | and only by said reboot | 15:56 |

| Lartza_ | Ben64: So system-wide rc | 15:59 |
| ChaosR | question, how can ps aux stop at the exact pid before the crashed skype | 15:59 |

| ChaosR | what causes such a thing | 15:59 |
| Ben64 | Lartza_: sure, where do i find and disable them | 15:59 |

| n8tuser | Racha -> you were told to install one, wubi is a taste test only | 16:52 |
| Lartza_ | How can you list installed packages that match a string flash in terminal? | 16:52 |
| chip3d | I need some general help on the unix commandline-I have a $ sign showing at the end of the prompt line, correct me if I am wrong but that indicates that I am in the shell mode. My question is if I want to get out of that mode how do I do it and would doing that allow running program specific commands, like matlab commands | 16:53 |
| pradeep | Lartza_:its asking for a password. is it my windows password or my laptops | 16:53 |
| Lartza_ | YEas for the user you chose | 16:53 |
| Racha | n8tuser, u knowe how can i get 30GB from my D part. easy and fast ? to get new part. ? for ubuntu ? | 16:54 |
| n8tuser | chip3d -> yes, the $prompt is the console, you can from that console run your mathlab applications and possibly get an interactive prompt from mathlab | 16:54 |
| Deathstrikeog | I have to go see you guys later | 16:54 |
| Pici | Lartza_: dpkg -l | grep "^ii.*flash.*" | 16:54 |
| Lartza_ | Pici: THanks Pici, don't piorpably need it anymore :) | 16:54 |
| n8tuser | Racha yes, you can recover that Wubi occupied partition and convert that to a ubuntu supported 2ext, 3ext or 4ext, | 16:55 |
| chip3d | n8tuser do you mind if I open a private chat with you? | 16:55 |
| Lartza_ | fufu has problem with his flash... | 16:55 |
| thiebaude | anyone know if wubi is open-source? | 16:55 |
| n8tuser | chip3d i mind, lets chat here so people can interact with us and correct me if I gave you wrong advise | 16:55 |
| Racha | n8tuser, i dont have part. where is Wubi ... it is with my other files ... | 16:55 |
| maco | thiebaude: it is | 16:55 |
| chip3d | alright, no problem | 16:55 |
| fufu | guys i need to borrow lartza for a few minutes | 16:56 |
| thiebaude | thanks,maco | 16:56 |
| n8tuser | Racha -> then it is as easy as erasing one huge file within windows | 16:56 |
| Racha | n8tuser, And as i say ... i cant lose any of my files | 16:56 |
| pradeep | Lartza_:It says failed to connect and connection refused | 16:56 |
| n8tuser | Racha you can always make a backup to an external drive or secondary drive | 16:56 |
| Racha | n8tuser, I have 500GB of Files there ... | 16:56 |
| AceKing | Does anyone know how I can lock a folder? I want to lock a folder on an external HDD. I also want to make sure it cannot be opened in a windows environment | 16:56 |
| pradeep | Lartza_:It says failed to connect and connection refused | 16:56 |
| Lartza_ | pradeep: Yes don't spam, wait | 16:57 |
| chip3d | so If i am logged into this unix server and the prompt shows a $ sign how can I get rid of that and go into the mode which shows /folder> | 16:57 |
| ph33r | how do I load my wl drivers on startup ? | 16:57 |
| stew | AceKing: you can't without doing something like encrypting it | 16:57 |
| pradeep | ? | 16:57 |
| Lartza_ | pradeep: Wait din't ask again so fast | 16:57 |
| ph33r | btw I have done "echo wl | sudo tee -a /etc/modules | 16:57 |
| n8tuser | chip3d -> ahh you want an X window? ssh -Y -l username@remoteip assuming here your remote server has X server active | 16:58 |
| Racha | n8tuser, its possible to juse take 30GB and make new Part. ? | 16:58 |
| Lartza_ | pradeep: rpcclient -U username -I IP Address -c REG shutdown | 16:58 |
| Cptnodegard | doesnt ubuntu work with geforce 6800go? | 16:58 |
| n8tuser | Racha yes its possible | 16:58 |
| Racha | n8tuser, just tell me how ... | 16:58 |
| Racha | n8tuser, because i cant format any part. i have .... | 16:58 |
| n8tuser | Racha are you on the windows now as opposed to booted to wubi? | 16:58 |
| Lartza_ | pradeep: ANd you might tune windows to allow remote shutdown like someone said | 16:58 |
| Racha | n8tuser, I am on Windows | 16:59 |
| AceKing | stew: how do I encrypt it? | 16:59 |
| chip3d | I tried startx, but x server doesn't start | 16:59 |
| Racha | n8tuser, I am on Windows i dont knowe what to do with wubi so i will try to get new part. and install Ubuntu ... | 16:59 |
| chip3d | however, my friend who sits beside me as soon as he logs in, he has the regular /folder> and no $ sign... and he can start using gromacs (computer simulation program) commands as soon as he logs in | 17:00 |
| pradeep | Lartza_: Its not working. May be i have to disable firewall i guess | 17:00 |
| n8tuser | Racha then you can erase that large wubi directory or file, then you can readjust within windows, to get the spaces and use another tool to format a new partition or use the Ubuntu livecd to create the partition you need | 17:00 |
| chip3d | while for me, it shows username@server: ~ $ | 17:00 |
| Lartza_ | pradeep: no windows refuses remote shutdown by default propably | 17:00 |
| mopoyo | what is the default password for root? | 17:00 |
| isleshocky77 | I'm trying to modify a setting on my home machine using gconftool-2 from work right now through an ssh session. But it doesn't seem to work. Do I have to setup a environment variable so it edits the correct files? | 17:01 |
| Racha | n8tuser, i deleted it but what to use to get 30GB from D: to new part ? | 17:01 |
| n8tuser | chip3d -> how do you normally run that gromacs? | 17:01 |
| Lartza_ | pradeep: Start widnwos service remote procedure call | 17:01 |
| n8tuser | Racha reboot using the livecd and then select your D as the destination partition for installing Ubuntu | 17:02 |
| xover | what is the main advantage of 64 bit OS? | 17:02 |
| Lartza_ | pradeep: This SHOULD work if your windows is set up properly | 17:02 |
| Lartza_ | pradeep: net rpc SHUTDOWN -C "Comment here" -f -I xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -U username%password | 17:02 |
| oscuro | oi | 17:02 |
| joeb3_ | chip3d, http://www.linuxselfhelp.com/howtos/Bash-Prompt/Bash-Prompt-HOWTO-2.html | 17:03 |
| Racha | n8tuser, that will format D: ? or i will able to use it witn Windows ... later ? | 17:03 |
| AceKing | stew: I right clicked on the folder I would like to lock and clicked encrypt.. It looks like it trying to email it. Am I doing something wrong? | 17:03 |
| joeb3_ | chip3d, if using bash of course. | 17:03 |
| chip3d | I haven't been able to use it, but my friend, he logs in to the unix server on the computer and starts using the gromacs specific commands once he is in the right folder. | 17:03 |
| chip3d | yes joeb3 im using bash | 17:03 |
| chip3d | pretty darn good insight man :D | 17:03 |
| icarus | is there some something that can read text to me out loud but onaly the text i select | 17:03 |
| Lartza_ | xover: More RAM | 17:03 |
| ph33r | how do I run a set of commands with sudo at startup so that my wl drivers are loaded automatically ? | 17:04 |
| n8tuser | isleshocky77 -> the command is something like " gconftool-e -t str --set /desktop/gnome/font-rendering/dpi 96 " | 17:04 |
| chip3d | thanks joeb3, I will check it out | 17:04 |
| icarus | Lartza_, you best be trolling | 17:04 |
| Racha | n8tuser, that will format D: ? or i will able to use it witn Windows ... later ? | 17:04 |
| Racha | ?? | 17:04 |
| Lartza_ | icarus: No... | 17:04 |
| legend2440 | !root | mopoyo ubuntu does not set up default root account. what are you tryng to do? login as root? | 17:04 |
| ubottu | mopoyo ubuntu does not set up default root account. what are you tryng to do? login as root?: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 17:04 |
| n8tuser | Racha yes you will be able to use windows later, you may have to play with grub a little bit, ubuntu when installing preserves the ntfs partition and put an entry in menu.lst | 17:05 |
| n8tuser | so you can boot into windows | 17:05 |
| Racha | Ye but will i be able to access in my D: that will stay ntfs ? | 17:06 |
| Racha | With Windows | 17:06 |
| n8tuser | icarus hang on.. let me check my notes | 17:06 |
| kelli | hi all | 17:06 |
| n8tuser | Racha nope, if you used up all D as linux, no you wont easily see it in windows, but if only lets say half of D, then yeah you will still see it in windows | 17:07 |

| babbio | hi guys....i have a problem...the shutdown button and the "pidgin letterbox button" are disappeared....what can i do ???? | 17:08 |

| n8tuser | Racha -> what are you referring to as not secure? | 17:09 |

| DB23 | dear community.. quick question | 17:10 |
| oscuro | I've been reading the forums for a while trying to decide whether to get a nvidia or ati graphics card. does ati have decent acceleration support on linux nowadays? or is nvidia still king? | 17:10 |
| Racha | n8tuser, That... i need to get half of my part. to linux ... idk. how its possible to no one knowe about WUBI :S .... i cant lose any of my files ... i will die if i lose any of files :S... | 17:10 |
| n8tuser | icarus even adobe has it too, and text-aloud | 17:10 |
| DB23 | i want to install ubuntu on a usb drive.. and i know there are several ways | 17:10 |
| DB23 | what i want is an install.. just like an ordinary install on a hard drive | 17:11 |
| BusMaster | I use an http_proxy at school and no proxy at home. how can i configure my ubuntu so that if I'm at school, the proxy is set and if I'm at home, it is not? | 17:11 |
| n8tuser | Racha you are getting confused, i already told you what to do, and you mumble about this secure thing, what are you referring to? | 17:11 |
| DB23 | but one that is computer independent | 17:11 |
| Boohbah | oscuro: still nvidia. but the word is AMD is improving their drivers | 17:11 |
| fufu | hey | 17:11 |
| Racha | n8tuser, i am fraid i will lose files from D: | 17:11 |
| Boohbah | oscuro: AMD == ATi | 17:11 |
| DB23 | so that i can use it across several computers. | 17:11 |
| n8tuser | DB23 -> sometimes it will not work because of bios incompatibilities, | 17:11 |
| oscuro | DB23, pretty sure I saw a guide on that on pendrivelinux.com | 17:11 |
| oscuro | Boohbah, thanks | 17:11 |
| goddard | Anyone know of a good irc channel for PHP? | 17:12 |
| n8tuser | Racha -> what else do youi have in drive D? can you not make a backup of it? | 17:12 |
| Boohbah | goddard: ##php | 17:12 |
| DB23 | well.. i know about the bios.. most of the new computers tend to work with booting from usb | 17:12 |
| goddard | Boobah thanks..php ironicly | 17:12 |
| Racha | n8tuser, No i have 500GB Of my Company Files ... i will need 100DVD to make Vackup ... | 17:12 |
| n8tuser | DB23 newer yes, but since you mentioned in general, i assumed you were counting older bios too | 17:12 |
| bac | hi jpds | 17:12 |
| ctmjr | i keep getting failed login attempts from an ip 40 to 50 a day i put this in iptables can anyone verify if it looks good or suggest something better "iptables -A INPUT -s 200.20.215.131 -j DROP" | 17:12 |
| Boohbah | goddard: yeah freenode policy make them use two hases, unofficial channel | 17:13 |
| Racha | n8tuser, U knowe anyone who knowe more about WUBI ? | 17:13 |
| n8tuser | Racha once more, get another external drive and save to it, or a network drive and store your backup into it | 17:13 |
| n8tuser | Racha you are hard headed, we already told you, WUBI is a taste test setup, not for permanent usage | 17:13 |

| ManDay | Hello guys, how well supported is ROOT in the ubuntu repositories? | 17:21 |
| ManDay | supported in terms of updated | 17:21 |
| ManDay | Hello guys, how well supported/kept up to date is ROOT (math. num. software from CERN) in the ubuntu repositories? | 17:23 |
| n8tuser | ManDay -> what do you mean ROOT? | 17:23 |
| ManDay | s.a. | 17:23 |
| ManDay | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ROOT | 17:24 |
| Myrtti | Do you mean R? | 17:24 |
| n8tuser | ManDay -> i believed those are applications, so you just check the repositories for updated ones | 17:24 |
| ManDay | If you add another two Os and a T, yes Myrtti | 17:24 |
| ManDay | n8tuser, I'm not sure I understand | 17:25 |
| ManDay | What do you mean? | 17:25 |
| === BlackJack is now known as Dreaman | ||
| th0r | ManDay: Root is at version 5.18.00 in the repos...you cna check the ROOT homepage to see what is available | 17:25 |
| sipior | ManDay: well, version 5.18 is in the repository, and version 5.22 is available from CERN. | 17:25 |
| === JP is now known as Guest37108 | ||
| sipior | ManDay: you can decide whether that's a problem for you or not. | 17:25 |
| ManDay | sipior, yes, I see. I don't know how much of a difference that is though. (When did 5.18 release). I was hoping someone had some experience with it | 17:26 |
| ManDay | I just wonder whether I should take it from the repos or get it from CERN in the first place | 17:26 |
| ManDay | but i think 5.18 sounds quite fine | 17:26 |
| jophish | Can anyone recommend a good NAS server | 17:27 |
| n8tuser | jophish -> where are you abouts? i seem to see lots of inexpensive servers now on craigslist | 17:27 |
| bribroder | hey guys, quick Q | 17:28 |
| jophish | n8tuser, In the UK, I am probably going to buy it new | 17:28 |
| bribroder | is there a way to make two directories appear under one? like a folder that has the contents of two other folders? | 17:28 |
| sipior | ManDay: asking whether folks on a software support channel have experience with a specialised program dedicated to the analysis of high energy collider data is going to have a low success rate ;-) | 17:28 |
| n8tuser | jophish seems like the supermicro brand is popular amongs servers | 17:29 |
| ManDay | sipior, I'm myself not involved at any collider but I thought ROOT has some general appliance in data analasys | 17:30 |
| sipior | ManDay: it does, yes. especially really large data volumes, apparently. you might also look into SciPy, which is a bit more general in application. | 17:30 |
| n8tuser | bribroder -> i dont think so..but you can have both in your search path to make the search easier | 17:31 |
| jophish | I shall investigate, thanks n8tuser | 17:31 |

| Aviram | anyone help? D: | 17:32 |
| ManDay | sipior, where would you say does SciPy have an advantage over ROOT? | 17:32 |
| bribroder | thanks n8tuser | 17:32 |
| ManDay | sipior, I ve no doubt it is | 17:32 |
| === Guest79857 is now known as john_ | ||
| n8tuser | bribroder you're welcome | 17:33 |
| ManDay | I will not make my choice depend upon the language used. though performance is definitily a point (see ROOT and C++) | 17:33 |
| john_ | is 9.10 going to have updated apps like OOo and FF? | 17:33 |
| john_ | i seem to be behind and only have 3.0 for OOo and FF | 17:33 |

| blugrin | I am in the openbox in xorg, How to make change the number of default desktop to 2 rather than 4? | 17:34 |

| ubottu | VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 18:22 |
| joako | And how do I make x11vnc run all the time? | 18:22 |
| pshr | !elaborate |-Gobi-| | 18:23 |
| ubottu | -Gobi-|: Please elaborate, your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel) | 18:23 |
| brendan` | joako: put it in your startup scripts | 18:23 |
| joako | brendan: exactly where is that? | 18:23 |
| |-Gobi-| | I meant to say, that with bash script... like sudo apt-get update etc | 18:23 |
| |-Gobi-| | ...i'll rephrase | 18:24 |
| brendan` | joako: /etc/rc.local is one place | 18:24 |
| lastent | hi, I just connected to a VPN. now I want to connect to some IP's using that connection, and to the rest using my internet connection, is this possible? | 18:24 |
| Pici | |-Gobi-|: Are you trying to automate running a script with root privelges? | 18:24 |
| |-Gobi-| | Pici: Yes, updates | 18:24 |
| brendan` | get your x11vnc setup first (apt-get install x11vnc) | 18:24 |
| G_A_C | lastent: yes, it's possible by changing your routing tables | 18:25 |
| Pici | |-Gobi-|: Just put the scripts into root's crontab (using sudo crontab -e) and they will run as root. You don't need to use sudo in the scripts then. | 18:25 |
| Stouniii | joeb3_ how you fixed it (vbox) | 18:25 |
| Aviram | any news, Jems? | 18:25 |
| lastent | G_A_C, can you help me doing it? | 18:25 |
| |-Gobi-| | Pici: ty | 18:25 |
| G_A_C | lastent: something like "sudo route add 1.2.3.4 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev vpn0" should do it, but I'm not sure of the exact syntax. also, it depends on what your VPN network adapter is called, on my laptop it's "csco0" or something | 18:25 |
| joako | brendan: And do you know exactly what I should put there? I aready tried in /etc/gdm/Init/Default and I can get the login screen but when I login the session dies | 18:26 |
| joeb3_ | Stouniii, there is an option in vbox to disable acpi. | 18:26 |
| Stouniii | hmm okay, this does not function for me.. i disabled it but then i got another error | 18:28 |

| hwilde | "The application NetworkManager Applet wants access to the default keyring, but it is locked" | 18:28 |
| artistx | hi | 18:30 |
| G_A_C | hwilde: I think the only way would be either a blank keyring password, or to use something like wicd for your network configuration | 18:30 |
| Stouniii | is a RAID system a problem for the newes ubunut version? | 18:31 |
| duffydack | erm, odd question but whats the default mode intel in a dell mini 9, exa or xxa? I set it to uxa and forgot what it "was" lol | 18:31 |
| hwilde | G_A_C, well what good is auto login if the first thing that pops up is a password prompt and there is no networking support?@$!@^% | 18:31 |
| G_A_C | hwilde: I just explained two ways you should be able to get around it, I didn't write NetworkManager you know ;) | 18:32 |

| nikhil | Unable to start deluge, reinstallation didnt help. please refer pastebin url when i tried to open deluge in terminal (http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/268680/) | 18:34 |
| hwilde | n8tuser, yes there are auto lines in the /etc/network/interfaces | 18:34 |
| n8tuser | hwilde -> and maybe even the scripts at /etc/network/if-up stuff like that | 18:34 |
| hwilde | what I don't understand is this laptop has NEVER given me this prompt before | 18:35 |
| udzguru | hey there | 18:35 |
| n8tuser | hwilde or if-pre-up.d | 18:35 |
| hwilde | with normal login, it boots up and gets online with no prompts | 18:35 |
| hwilde | with auto login, it is stuck on this keyring | 18:35 |
| hwilde | so auto login is useless because the first thing that pops up is a password prompt anyways! | 18:35 |
| n8tuser | look also into /etc/pam.d | 18:35 |
| x[x] | hmm | 18:35 |
| n8tuser | pam.d controls those settings | 18:36 |

| n8tuser | udzguru -> yes, are you remotely logged into the remote server? | 18:36 |

| JuJuBee | My GUI seems to be frozen (mouse still moves) but I can ssh into the computer. How can I restart the GUI without rebooting? | 18:38 |

| JuJuBee | Thanks, I will try it. | 18:38 |
| JuJuBee | Nope, frozen programs still display | 18:39 |
| JuJuBee | mouse still moves though. | 18:39 |
| n8tuser | udzguru -> you dont want to use /etc/init.d/networking restart or that will knock your ssh login too, use individual ifup/ifdown to bring utilize the nic | 18:39 |
| zyxxy | is there any command to list all running 32 bit processes? | 18:39 |

| hwilde | !samba > SingAlong | 18:40 |
| ubottu | SingAlong, please see my private message | 18:40 |
| n8tuser | zyxxy -> use the of ps command | 18:40 |
| scott_ino2 | SingAlong, I actually suggest nfs over samba, however samba will work just fine | 18:40 |
| n8tuser | hwilde -> did you look into what i suggested pam.d ? | 18:40 |
| SingAlong | hwilde: i use ubuntu on both my computers. | 18:40 |
| udzguru | ok. so what would be right if i would like to restart eth0? sudo ifconfig eth0 ifdown? | 18:40 |
| n8tuser | zyxxy -> usageof the ps command | 18:40 |
| SingAlong | scott_ino2: do i need samba even if i have ubuntu on both? | 18:40 |
| zyxxy | n8tuser: ok, so ps has a command to show the architecture? that helps, thanks | 18:41 |
| n8tuser | please responders include the nick of whom you're chatting with or it will get lost | 18:41 |
| scott_ino2 | SingAlong, no, but samba is one way to do it | 18:41 |
| hwilde | SingAlong, well you could just scp the files | 18:41 |
| hwilde | n8tuser, i'm lookin... | 18:41 |
| SingAlong | hwilde: oh ya! i didnt know that that. | 18:41 |
| JuJuBee | hwilde : restart kdm did not work... Im using kde | 18:41 |
| n8tuser | udzguru -> you have to have a root priviledge yes to manipulate nics, ifup or ifdown | 18:41 |
| daaniel_101 | or ftp across | 18:42 |
| scott_ino2 | SingAlong, for simple transfers you can use the application "Giver" which works decently well | 18:42 |
| udzguru | n8tuser: yes i do have root privileges | 18:42 |
| SingAlong | hwilde: i thought scp was only for remote servers | 18:42 |
| SingAlong | scott_ino2: hwilde thanks! | 18:42 |

| kothog | ls -liad /etc/rc*.d/servicename | 18:49 |
| scott_ino2 | rai, it's simply hanging on something that it's trying to process i.e. flash | 18:49 |
| pshr | kothog, do you think linking of command service in /etc/bin or sbin has some thing to do with that | 18:49 |
| kothog | pshr: no | 18:49 |
| rai | badmox how can i overcome this problem? | 18:49 |
| * pshr hmmm | 18:49 | |

| ManDay | scott_ino2, hm? you mean "auto_hide_size"? | 19:20 |
| darkvega8 | anybody with experience on USB intallation? I want to know how much space is left if casper-rw | 19:21 |
| hermitcrabred | Thanks hwilde , can I use the terminal too? | 19:21 |
| === azlon1 is now known as azlon | ||
| hwilde | n8tuser, here is my file, doesn't match: http://pastebin.com/f39ee722e | 19:21 |
| scott_ino2 | ManDay, no this says "size when hiden' | 19:21 |
| hermitcrabred | ...don`t know the command... | 19:21 |
| hwilde | hermitcrabred, sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade | 19:21 |
| scott_ino2 | ManDay, take a look at the link i gave might get you pointed in the right directions ;-) | 19:21 |
| pranav | So what is the best way to automatically "startx" when I log in ? | 19:21 |
| clearscreen | hermitcrabred: install the firefox-3.5 package (sudo aptitude install firefox-3.5) | 19:22 |
| hermitcrabred | sweet!!!...let me go try! | 19:22 |
| Myrtti | pranav: install a graphical login manager? | 19:22 |
| ManDay | scott_ino2, something like that yeah | 19:22 |
| ManDay | ugly bugs | 19:22 |
| scott_ino2 | ManDay, yup | 19:22 |
| clearscreen | pranav: install gdm | 19:22 |
| scott_ino2 | sad because id on't use the autohide... | 19:22 |
| pranav | Myrtti, ok | 19:22 |
| n8tuser | hwilde very similar to mine, what am saying if you download that additional libpam-keyring and added it as include it may solve it per the link | 19:22 |
| scott_ino2 | ManDay, you could just get rid of the panel and use a different doc? | 19:23 |
| scott_ino2 | but that's not a solution really... | 19:23 |
| ManDay | scott_ino2, a different doc? | 19:23 |
| hwilde | n8tuser, no worries. I have already ripped out nm | 19:23 |
| scott_ino2 | ManDay, doc bar | 19:23 |
| n8tuser | hwilde did it do what you were expecting? commented out the pam_gnome_keyring.so ? | 19:24 |
| hwilde | n8tuser, that whole thing seems bogus. | 19:24 |
| Aviram | I updated my ALSA but sound card wont work | 19:24 |
| Aviram | X_X | 19:24 |
| scott_ino2 | ManDay, yes... you can add custom doc bars | 19:25 |
| scott_ino2 | for instance... like one that resembles the OSX taskbar etc... | 19:25 |
| MTec007 | Also, is there something I can do to fix this wifi problem I'm having? It seems that when ever I "overload" my network connection my wifi card will stop working and I need to reconnect to the network, or it will just disconnect me and then it will reconnect. I have to use ndiswrapper for my driver. | 19:25 |
| n8tuser | oh, okay, next time i do an install with auto login ill make a note of what settings for keyring so it does not prompt the user | 19:25 |
| ManDay | scott_ino2, where would i get these from? | 19:25 |
| scott_ino2 | ManDay, just install them via synaptic, however i don't use them so i don't konw but hav3e tried a few let me find you some links | 19:25 |
| MrStein | Hi! | 19:26 |
| MrStein | How to revert the actiob of "kpartx -a somefile" ? it is DM related... | 19:26 |
| n8tuser | MTec007 -> how did you determine you have overloaded your network connection? | 19:26 |
| hwilde | n8tuser, I believe installing libpam-keyring, deleting my keyring, making a new one attached to the ssid, and editing the pam.d script would resolve... i'm just not interested in learning/breaking all of those systems | 19:26 |
| === wiktor is now known as Guest30718 | ||
| ManDay | scott_ino2, i prefer the gnome default stuff | 19:26 |
| ManDay | just need to get it to work | 19:26 |
| scott_ino2 | ManDay, as do I | 19:26 |
| n8tuser | hwilde yah i agree, too much hacking for supposedly simple stuff | 19:26 |
| scott_ino2 | but there are others you could try | 19:27 |
| MrStein | In other words , how to unmap entries in /dev/mapper/ ? | 19:27 |
| MTec007 | i didnt. it just seems like it happens when im doing a lot.. on aim yahoo msn irc surfing web multiple tabs and playing pandora | 19:27 |
| ManDay | scott_ino2, i got compiz running - not sure how this would work with other stuff | 19:27 |
| scott_ino2 | ManDay, need to run... best of luck | 19:27 |
| scott_ino2 | compiz wont affect this | 19:27 |
| scott_ino2 | so no worries | 19:27 |
| MTec007 | n8tuser, but if i dont do a whole lot it will work fine. | 19:28 |
| n8tuser | MTec007 -> honestly i believe its the i/o interrupt servicing that i find troublesome, i had this experienced since 6.10, it freezes up the system back then if i fiddle with the network and cant connect, hosing the whole system | 19:28 |
| juannicolas | Hi guys, I have Ubuntu 8.04.1 server running and i wan't to know if high memory usage is normal? | 19:28 |

| moonhead | what is ubiquity and can i remove the link between it in rcX.d and the file in /etc/init.d/ safely? | 19:29 |

| SingAlong | can i install emacs 23 on ubuntu? | 19:29 |
| SingAlong | the pkg repo shown only emacs 22 | 19:29 |
| MTec007 | n8tuser, so theres nothing i can do at all | 19:29 |
| n8tuser | MTec007 -> nothing that i knew of when it comes to i/o servicing interrupts unless you can go down deep into coding, i/o btw includes getting to your cd/dvd anything external | 19:30 |
| MTec007 | SingAlong, you could do it manually from the emacs website? | 19:30 |

| Eire | Could you help me with a sound problem I am having with my laptop? | 19:31 |
| hwilde | n8tuser, it is just dumb that the enabling auto-login so it doesn't prompt for pw causes the network manager to prompt for password. | 19:31 |
| MTec007 | SingAlong, the usual | 19:31 |
| MTec007 | n8tuser, can you confirm that your problems were with ndiswrapper or not? | 19:31 |

| Pici | !kernel | cubix7_ | 20:00 |
| ubottu | cubix7_: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages | 20:00 |
| abhi69 | subone: use it, it will work better than SWFdec | 20:00 |
| MTec007 | subone, flashplugins-nonfree plays flash scripted movies better than the other options | 20:00 |
| Hypnoz | ManDay -- agreed gnome-panels sucks | 20:00 |
| sfdfsz | when i start x through gdm there is no text at all ? any ideas | 20:00 |
| acemo | Pici: yeah... well... wasn't really my choise to use debian repositories... the install.sh script picked it! (aperently ubuntu looks alot like debian) | 20:00 |
| ManDay | Hypnoz, yep. How do you get along with it? | 20:01 |
| iceroot | acemo: ubuntu is based on debian (unstable) | 20:01 |
| subone | Is it still slow? | 20:01 |
| paulocesar | hi, somebody know how can I remove an startup item from kde? | 20:01 |
| subone | I've always noticed flash much slower on Ubuntu than Windows | 20:01 |
| iceroot | subone: yes, slower then the windows-version | 20:01 |
| Hypnoz | I configured it enough that is is usable. I made my tasks group similar, and moved my icons around how I wanted them then locked them | 20:01 |
| |-Gobi-| | is there a method to find out if reboot is required after apt-get dist-upgrade in terminal? | 20:01 |
| Hypnoz | its not sexy by any means, but it works | 20:01 |
| sebsebseb | subone: yes Flash can have issues on Ubuntu | 20:01 |
| subone | Why is that? | 20:01 |
| sebsebseb | subone: ,because they haven't made it properly for Linux | 20:01 |
| MTec007 | subone, i dont know if its slower than windows or not, but it plays pandora fine | 20:02 |
| ManDay | Hypnoz, unfortunally it doesnt quite work for me. at least autohide doesnt properly. | 20:02 |
| acemo | iceroot: true.. that might be why ubuntu 9.04 looks like debian to the virtualmin install script | 20:02 |
| ManDay | I once liked fluxbox very very much | 20:02 |
| Hypnoz | I've seen some people replace panels with an apple style dock tray | 20:02 |
| iceroot | |-Gobi-| no, but if you are using diat-upgrade, you always need to reboot (with upgrade you dont need to reboot) | 20:02 |
| ManDay | but unfortunally, compiz will not work with thatill it | 20:02 |
| subone | I want to be able to watch videos online and such, without everyone saying, why is it so crappy? | 20:02 |
| Myrtti | iceroot: check your facts :-( | 20:02 |
| iceroot | |-Gobi-|: or with other words, upgrade only come with dist-upgrade are needing a reboot | 20:02 |
| iceroot | Myrtti: not true? | 20:03 |
| ManDay | Especially, I'd like to find a panel which can be docked to the side of the screen and still display peorperly | 20:03 |
| |-Gobi-| | iceroot: ty, follow up, is there a method to find out if kernel update is availeble? | 20:03 |
| |-Gobi-| | iceroot: in terminal again | 20:03 |
| syntax1 | so ım not running compiz fusion what ı need? | 20:03 |
| subone | What about my first question... How do I make Firefox/AnyProgram open up on the same screen it was before i closed it last? | 20:04 |
| Myrtti | iceroot: you may or may not need to reboot after aptitude dist-upgrade | 20:04 |
| Myrtti | iceroot: it's not a given | 20:04 |
| iceroot | |-Gobi-|: sudo apt-get upgrade -s | 20:04 |
| |-Gobi-| | iceroot: ty | 20:04 |
| iceroot | |-Gobi-|: also have a look at apticron if you want to be cofirmed about updates by mail | 20:04 |
| giacinto | ciao a tutti | 20:05 |
| iceroot | Myrtti: hm, if i am correct, there al libc, kernel and so on updates with dist-upgrade | 20:05 |
| fccf | !it | giacinto | 20:05 |
| ubottu | giacinto: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) | 20:05 |
| iceroot | Myrtti: and upgrade is giving you "normal" updates, not for kernel, libc or something like that | 20:06 |
| MTec007 | Myrtti, iceroot, have either of you NOT had to reboot after a dist-upgrade? | 20:06 |
| sebsebseb | subone: it's closed source, so only Adobe can do something proper about it being not so good, on Linux | 20:06 |
| MTec007 | :) | 20:06 |
| sebsebseb | subone: You only want Flash for videos? | 20:06 |
| enherit | how can I fix this? bash unnecessarily escapes colon in tab completion, i.e., chown admin\: | 20:06 |
| Myrtti | MTec007: sure. | 20:07 |
| subone | sebsebseb: at the very least Flash should be able to play videos fluidly | 20:07 |
| MTec007 | Myrtti, really? I havn't have that happen yet | 20:07 |
| iceroot | Myrtti: ah ok i was reading the manpage and i was wrong | 20:07 |
| MTec007 | Myrtti, but I havent used ubuntu for long | 20:07 |
| sebsebseb | subone: that's also something that annoys me about Flash, how really there are better things that can be used for video on websites. The video feature got added quite a lot later on, as far as I know, and so for years it coudn't do video | 20:07 |
| Zachk18 | adobe has a flash version for ubuntu | 20:08 |
| zvonimir | my file system says i have 5gb of space left, earlier today i deleted a folder with 20 gb of random crap i didn't need (right click > send to trash, sudo into nautilus) - then right click trash and hit empty, but... i didn't get any more free space | 20:08 |
| sebsebseb | subone: as far as I know, Flash was never really designed, to be used for videos on websites | 20:08 |
| MTec007 | sebsebseb, like HTML 5. | 20:08 |
| sebsebseb | mcasadevall: yes exactly | 20:08 |
| Pici | iceroot: All a dist-upgrade does is pull in packages that have new dependencies, it just so happens that this is often done for kernel upgrades. | 20:08 |
| sebsebseb | subone: you can try Gnash and Swfdec if you want, they are alternatives to Adobe Flash | 20:08 |
| iceroot | zvonimir: sudo nautilus will give you the trash from root not from your user | 20:08 |
| Pici | !gksudo | iceroot zvonimir | 20:09 |
| ubottu | iceroot zvonimir: 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) | 20:09 |
| sebsebseb | subone: I think that both of them can probably handle Youtube videos and such now | 20:09 |
| iceroot | Pici: yes, i was reading the manpage | 20:09 |
| iceroot | Pici: dont tell me, i know gksudo, just telling him why he dont get more free space | 20:09 |
| sebsebseb | mcasadevall: messaged wrong one | 20:09 |
| sebsebseb | MTec007: see above | 20:09 |
| NielsE | I installed windows 7, now grub isnt there anymore (doh), but the recovery cd sais only sda1 sda2 and sda5 are present, but I had like 10 partitions! what to do? | 20:09 |
| Pici | iceroot: You suggested using sudo nautilus, thats not correct. | 20:09 |
| MTec007 | sebsebseb, yeah but they still have issues working with flash movies with actionscripting. | 20:10 |
| subone | i just got an error on a website about the flashnonfree: To watch this video, you need Flash 10 | 20:10 |
| subone | You have an old version of Flash. Click here to download the latest version. | 20:10 |
| iceroot | Pici: i didnt, just read his post and my | 20:10 |
| iceroot | Pici: i was just quoting him | 20:10 |
| sebsebseb | subone: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer | 20:10 |
| sebsebseb | subone: that is meant to get it from Adobe | 20:10 |

| ubottu | This is not a file sharing channel (or network). If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » | 20:12 |
| MTec007 | well your error message sounds like maybe it came from youtube? and flashplugin-installer works on that site for me | 20:12 |
| subone | no its vimeo | 20:13 |
| MTec007 | subone, its stange.. | 20:13 |

| mathix | fccf Hi, I've having problems when it comes to ''make'' a program I want to install | 20:13 |
| subone | hmmm, i think the old swfdec is still there | 20:13 |
| MTec007 | subone, that site works too for me. | 20:14 |
| fccf | mathix: what program? | 20:14 |
| MTec007 | subone, that may be an issue | 20:14 |

| subone | uninstalling it | 20:14 |
| ManDay | stupid question: does ubuntu updates its kernel? | 20:14 |
| mathix | fccf I'm trying to install Mutella and the ./configure seems to work fine so I then type sudo make but it splits out a bunch of errors like INT_MAX was not declared in this scopre, install-recursive... | 20:14 |
| MTec007 | subone, purge remove swfdec and flashplugin-installer and reinstall flashplugin-installer | 20:14 |
| subone | now its working | 20:14 |
| MTec007 | :) | 20:15 |
| Pici | ManDay: If there are security updates, yes. We do not move from one major kernel version to the next during a release though. | 20:15 |
| MTec007 | good to hear | 20:15 |
| sebsebseb | subone: there's some sort of sidebar or whatever for totem, where you can also play Flash | 20:15 |
| sebsebseb | subone: as long as the plugin is installed and activated | 20:15 |
| fccf | mathix: what you are trying to do isn't officially supported... you don't need to make mutella as it is already in the repositorys | 20:16 |
| mathix | how do I access it exactly? I'm really a newb with Unix... | 20:16 |
| fccf | mathix: sudo apt-get install mutella | 20:16 |
| ManDay | Pici, so to update my kernel, i'd have to do what exactly? can i just get the latest binary of the kernel from somewhere? | 20:17 |
| ManDay | and just paste it in place? | 20:17 |
| mathix | fccf it says it couldn't find the package... | 20:17 |
| fccf | mathix: good learning book (free) www.ubuntupocketguide.com | 20:17 |
| Pici | ManDay: No.. just update Ubuntu like normal and you will get the latest kernel that is offered. | 20:17 |
| fccf | mathix: do sudo apt-get update | 20:17 |
| Pici | !latest | ManDay | 20:17 |
| ubottu | ManDay: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are: fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports. | 20:17 |

| mathix | fccf thank you! | 20:19 |
| LordLandon | zvonkorp: did you "delete" it? or "move it to trash"? | 20:20 |
| zvonkorp | i moved it to trash, then right clicked on trash and hit empty - as sudo nautilus | 20:20 |
| zvonkorp | trash now reads empty, the folder isnt there anymore, but my free space is still unchanged :-/ | 20:20 |

| ManDay | I think I just found out about a ridiculous bug with gnome-panel: If you set it to "auto-hide" the "trigger-area" for it to reappear is not - like one would assume - the bar itsself or even just the area where it would normally go. INSTEAD the triggering area is the border of the bar - MEANING that if you move the mouse too quickly over the bar and "skip" over the border itsself, it will not appear unless you move back. awful. who volunteers t | 20:24 |
| ManDay | o fix this? | 20:24 |
| ManDay | linux is open source gentleman! | 20:24 |
| ManDay | please someone get at it - i ve no clue of gnome :P | 20:24 |

| limefruit | Hi, I am to install Ubuntu on 27 PCs, they are old (but working), I need to use the minimal cd, how can I merge the minimal cd with the downloads that are downloaded during the minimal cd setup. | 20:34 |
| ww-joel-d | has anyone encountered problems with keyboard layouts on a fresh installÉ I have tried to change the layout in the system menu but no dice | 20:34 |
| Gnea | JohnLocke: aptitude is newer, does more things, can be good things, can be things maybe you don't want it to do | 20:34 |
| trism | JohnLocke: aptitude it just a curses interface to apt | 20:34 |
| guntbert | G-man: why don't you just try it out? | 20:34 |
| ceil420 | seidos, this'll sound rude as hell, but if someone here knows instantly and can answer with a quickness, i prefer that to browsing the web. i wouldn't've persisted with this question, though. | 20:35 |
| seidos | ceil420, you could try pkill -stop npviewer.bin to see what happens, it should pause the process. might be necessary for your wireless if it's in ndiswrapper though | 20:35 |

| dofoxma | what's CTCP? | 20:35 |
| trism | JohnLocke: I personally can't stand aptitude, the interface is awkward, it's either apt-get or synaptic for me | 20:35 |
| ceil420 | seidos, dude above informed me it's flash (which would make sense; i'm watching youtube) :) | 20:35 |

| dofoxma | ok,,, | 20:36 |

| ceil420 | Gnea, i already acknowledged the rudeness of my actions. if someone here can answer in 5 seconds though (as was about the case), why should i spend 5 minutes googling | 20:37 |
| ceil420 | ? | 20:37 |

| xteejx | kudi: 6881 | 20:38 |
| trism | JohnLocke: I suppose that is subjective, gotta use what you're comfortable with | 20:38 |
| Gnea | ceil420: acknowlegement of self-rudeness doesn't necessarily justify it, but yes, if someone can, they will. | 20:38 |
| ww-joel-d | xteejx: put a human heart into it | 20:38 |
| FuRom | joeb3_ I already have samba installed, but nautilus seems to be missing something. | 20:38 |
| xteejx | lol | 20:38 |
| frostburn | xteejx, take out the hdd and install it using another computer | 20:38 |
| ceil420 | Gnea, i'm not trying to justify it, i'm saying i don't care. | 20:38 |
| xteejx | frostburn, can't do that either :( only have a laptop | 20:38 |
| sebsebseb | xteejx: Does it have Windows on it? | 20:38 |
| Gnea | ceil420: then why should anyone else? | 20:38 |
| AmusingPet | guyz , had anyone istall touchscreen on hp tx1000 series ? | 20:38 |
| ceil420 | Gnea, luckily, most people aren't as rude as me. if it makes you feel better, i answer quick/easy questions here and elsewhere often myself | 20:39 |
| subone | Is there any linux software to edit a video in 3gp format? | 20:39 |
| xteejx | sebsebseb: it does yeah, and i have a wifi stick but can't get drivers to it cuz the cd drive is broken lol | 20:39 |
| JohnLocke | trism: well, ru saying that aptitude is basically an alias of apt-get? :) | 20:39 |
| sebsebseb | xteejx: How much RAM, and which version of Windows? | 20:39 |
| Gnea | ceil420: fair enough. | 20:39 |
| ceil420 | Gnea, if you choose not to help me in the future, that's your prerogative | 20:39 |
| seidos | Gnea, ceil420, whatever works | 20:40 |
| xteejx | sebsebseb: 128 and XP, it runs like cr@p :( | 20:40 |
| fccf | subone: avidemux will convert 3gp to mpeg so it can be edited | 20:40 |
| ceil420 | i don't really see a need to carry on this conversation, though | 20:40 |
| trism | JohnLocke: it is just another interface for apt, yeah | 20:40 |
| ceil420 | seidos, o/ | 20:40 |
| fccf | ceil420: did you have a question? | 20:40 |
| Gnea | ceil420: I considered it finished at 'fair enough' :) | 20:40 |
| sebsebseb | xteejx: Take the hard disk out, and put in another computer, I like frostburn 's suggestion, however you could also probably do Wubi, thing is sometimes Wubi goes weird on people | 20:40 |
| ZykoticK9 | JohnLocke, Ubuntu/Debian use DEB packages, what frontend you use really doesn't matter - it all comes down to DEB packages in the end. | 20:40 |
| subone | fccf: and what shall i use to edit it? | 20:40 |
| ceil420 | fccf, about 5mins ago, yeah. already been answered, thanks | 20:40 |

| cubix7_ | what is best tool to remaster karmic..? | 20:40 |
| G-man | which is better for virtual box, fixed - size , im assuming ? | 20:40 |
| seidos | ceil420, I just asked to see if you had. Incidentally, I just looked it up myself. interestingly, I can view flash content and I don't seem to have that file | 20:40 |
| sebsebseb | !karmic | cubix7_ | 20:40 |
| xteejx | can i install it from within windows using a usb pen drive? | 20:40 |

| Pici | JohnLocke: No. they both use apt and dpkg to install packages, but aptitude also tracks whether packages were manually installed or installed as a result of being dependencies of other packges. Depending on what you want, this can be good or bad. | 20:41 |
| sebsebseb | xteejx: can you get on the net in Windows? | 20:41 |
| Gnea | G-man: Yes, it uses less resources at runtime that way | 20:41 |
| fccf | subone: perhaps kino | 20:41 |
| ceil420 | JohnLocke, .deb packages, by the way, can be installed using the `dpkg -i yourpackage.deb' | 20:41 |
| sebsebseb | xteejx: also I thought you said USB didn't work? | 20:41 |
| subone | fccf: ok im already installing that ty | 20:41 |
| xteejx | sebsebseb, not on the pc no, but have my laptop, and the usb works, but cant boot from it (old bios i guess) | 20:41 |
| ceil420 | seidos, maybe it has something to do with firefox 3.5? or the particular version of flash i have installed (no idea which) | 20:41 |
| wildc4rd_ | evenin' all | 20:41 |
| seidos | ceil420, I'm not using 3.5 | 20:41 |
| sebsebseb | xteejx: ok only do Wubi as a last resort | 20:42 |
| trism | Pici: apt-get does that too...if you uninstall a package, it will tell you you can remove the dependencies with apt-get autoremove... | 20:42 |
| sebsebseb | !usb | xteejx | 20:42 |
| ubottu | xteejx: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 20:42 |
| sebsebseb | !install | xteejx | 20:42 |
| ubottu | xteejx: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues - Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate | 20:42 |
| guntbert | JohnLocke: one difference is there - if you use aptitude it remembers "automatically" installed packages (from dependencies) and will remove them when you remove the dependant package | 20:42 |
| seidos | ceil420, learned the hard way not to upgrade unless necessary on my work laptop | 20:42 |
| ceil420 | seidos, i do believe it used to tell me firefox itself was using all my CPU, actually. i just recently switched to 3.5 | 20:42 |
| ceil420 | heh | 20:42 |
| subone | fccf: why was avidemux not listed under add/remove programs, but apt-get installing it worked? | 20:42 |
| ceil420 | seidos, i do still have firefox 3.0 installed in case something goes wrong ;) | 20:42 |
| seidos | ceil420, have you tried chrome? I installed it but didn't feel like setting up flash on it | 20:43 |
| fccf | subone: add/remove programs is a little limited ... you might want to check out Synaptic Package Manager .. Much more powerful | 20:43 |
| xteejx | sebsebseb, I'm a triager I know all that stuff lol is there a way to install that from within windows from usb as the cd? i mean can i just copy the cd to a pen drive and install that way? | 20:43 |
| ceil420 | subone, add/remove isn't a 100% comprehensive list. i don't know what the protocols are for packages getting on that list. try Synaptic | 20:43 |
| Gnea | subone: add/remove only selects a certain set of packages at a time - synaptic/apt gives a wider breadth | 20:43 |
| Vanger_ | Hi all! | 20:43 |
| ZykoticK9 | subone, I'd recommend checking "synaptic" instead of "add/remove" it will have everything available instead of a small subset of packages | 20:43 |
| seidos | ceil420, I tried to install firefox 3.5 like several weeks ago | 20:43 |
| sebsebseb | xteejx: You can install from a USB stick yes | 20:43 |
| ceil420 | seidos, i gave it a shot, but i didn't like the look'n'feel of it | 20:43 |
| JohnLocke | hmm... looks like aptitude is apt-get with an.. attitude! Lp | 20:43 |
| Gnea | lol | 20:43 |
| sebsebseb | JohnLocke: aptitude is also meant to be better | 20:43 |
| seidos | ceil420, I like the look and feel of lynx :) | 20:44 |
| ceil420 | seidos, also, chrome doesn't have noscript or 4chan extensions to my knowledge :p | 20:44 |
| ceil420 | lol | 20:44 |
| xteejx | sebsebseb, with wubi i assume? great i'll get onto it then, thanks for the help :) much appreciated | 20:44 |
| subone | ok ty | 20:44 |
| Vanger_ | Guy, can any1 help me to find good mrim client on Ubuntu? | 20:44 |
| sebsebseb | xteejx: I said wubi as a last resort | 20:44 |
| sebsebseb | xteejx: since it can go weird on people | 20:44 |
| ceil420 | seidos, lynx has it's place... like testing accessibility on websites :p | 20:44 |
| clearscreen | ceil420: neither does it have flashblock, adblock, firebug, skipscreen, greasemonkey, historyblock, add&edit cookies, livehttpheaders | 20:44 |
| sebsebseb | xteejx: also since it runs from inside Windows | 20:44 |
| Gnea | ceil420: noscript rules - won't hear any complaints from me on the lack of 4chan, though ;) | 20:44 |
| sebsebseb | xteejx: ,but Windows won't be booted | 20:44 |
| ceil420 | clearscreen, not to mention a cute little icon :) | 20:45 |
| xteejx | sebsebseb, sod windo$e ;) | 20:45 |
| seidos | ceil420, I like the black background by default. I use a greasemonkey script to modify the way webpages load. I don't like a white background. | 20:45 |
| subone | fccf: Avidemux says there is no audio decoder found for my 3gp file | 20:45 |
| ceil420 | Gnea, yeah i know it's not a very popular site :p i generally hang out there to unwind (and answer the occasional question on the tech board) | 20:45 |
| clearscreen | seidos: white backgrounds hurt my eyes ;D | 20:45 |
| sebsebseb | xteejx: well then not Wubi | 20:45 |
| ceil420 | seidos, i seem to go in six month cycles between black and white themes/backgrounds | 20:45 |

| wang_ | sorry, 9.04 | 20:46 |

| JohnLocke | okay folks.. i have another weird problem. when i try to edit network connections i couldn't because no matter how edits i made the "Apply" button is kept inactive | 20:46 |
| azlon1 | i have an issues with Apache. when i start i get this error: "Syntax error on line 10 of /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default:". this is my line 10: "Options Indexes FowwlowSymLinks MultiViews ExecCGI" | 20:47 |
| ceil420 | G-man, i'm not sure how finely you can control where things get written like that... put it on an early partition, i guess | 20:47 |
| wang_ | when I run ps -ef | grep wang (to see what process I am running).. it hangs and the ps process uses 100% of my cpu --- this is on 9.04 (not 9.10 typo earlier) | 20:47 |
| G-man | thats just it, i installed xubuntu all in one | 20:47 |
| wang_ | even running ps will cause the system to hang | 20:47 |
| trism | azlon1: if that is correct, FollowSymLinks is spelled wrong | 20:47 |
| trumpen | azlon1, Fowwlow? | 20:47 |
| azlon1 | bah... im a moron | 20:47 |
| G-man | no other partitions, until i learn a little more, | 20:47 |

| ubottu | subone: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 20:47 |
| clearscreen | G-man: a virtual partition is in essence just a couple of files on your ext3 partition, virtualbox doesnt actually modify the partition table of your harddisk | 20:47 |
| G-man | then ill go back and set up partitions | 20:47 |

| fccf | subone: you will need the amrwb package from medibuntu | 20:48 |
| G-man | oh okay, well it was a fresh install, so im assuming that it will all be good | 20:48 |
| azlon1 | trism, trumpen: i was even staring at that specifically and i still overlooked it... thanks | 20:48 |
| G-man | i install big movies and whatnot to my external hardrive | 20:48 |
| trism | azlon1: happens to me all the time | 20:48 |
| seidos | ceil420, maybe my eyes are older | 20:48 |
| xmnt_ | Options FollowSymLinks | 20:48 |
| G-man | i'm usually pretty good about keeping my hard disk clean | 20:48 |
| ceil420 | clearscreen, he wants virtualbox to install close to the centre of his hdd platter (i'm guessing he's worried about that extra 1ns latency) | 20:48 |

| alessio | Hi, question. I have a desktop, and when I try to turn it on, the CD drive blinks and the fan spins a little bit, for like 1/2 a second, and then turns off. Is my power supply dead, or is it something else? | 20:48 |
| JohnLocke | i have a wireless connection that tries to automatically connects at startup.when i try cancel that by unchecking "Connect automatically" it doesn't work | 20:48 |

| ceil420 | alessio, did you build it yourself? is this the first time you've tried to turn it on? | 20:49 |
| fccf | alessio: sounds like hardware .. take it apart and check all connections | 20:49 |
| seidos | alessio, do you have another power supply you can test with your system? | 20:49 |
| clearscreen | G-man: and since you don't need defragmentation due to the way ext is developed, you dont even have to worry where it'll end up on your harddisk :P | 20:49 |
| fccf | subone: do you have the medibuntu repos in your sources.list | 20:49 |
| ceil420 | could be PSU, could be mobo, could be CPU, could be RAM, could be aliens | 20:50 |
| ceil420 | etc | 20:50 |
| subone | fccf: i guess not | 20:50 |
| alessio | im not sure how id switch the power supply, seidos, but yes i have a similar computer nearby. ceil420, it is a custom built computer but it was working fine until about a month ago. it doesnt even get to bios or start up a monitor connection | 20:50 |
| fccf | subone: the link to medibuntu is about 2 pages up | 20:50 |
| G-man | sweet... well only reason i ask to begin with, is because i heard, that the fastets, is in the middle, but it shouldnt make that big of a difference really | 20:50 |

| seidos | alessio, I've ran the power supply cord from one system (system A) to another system's (system B)'s motherboard without removing the system A's powersupply | 20:51 |
| seidos | alessio, should take like 5 minutes | 20:51 |
| fccf | subone: do sudo apt-get update first | 20:51 |
| ceil420 | G-man, i do it because i change distros sometimes and i'd like to keep my ~ and dataz intact :p | 20:51 |
| G-man | ah | 20:52 |
| ceil420 | seidos, in my case, though, that would destroy my immaculate wire management :( | 20:52 |
| G-man | but as far as fragmented files go... that doesnt happen with linux or what? | 20:52 |
| ceil420 | (glad i'm not the one with the problem :p) | 20:52 |
| ceil420 | G-man, most file systems linux uses are pretty good at keeping files together | 20:52 |

| subone | fccf: its installing now | 20:53 |
| ceil420 | they don't just throw chunks around randomly like certain other FSs | 20:53 |
| ceil420 | *cough* | 20:53 |
| alessio | seidos: as in just switch the power cable? i just tried that, nothing happened. i know the outlet is good cause the monitor runs off of the same power strip | 20:53 |
| fccf | subone: yes it is normal ... you just don't have the authentication keys for medibuntu, a little annoying but not critical | 20:53 |
| ceil420 | alessio, i think he means plug the 20(+4) pin connector from a different PSU into the faulty computer | 20:54 |
| alessio | ahhh ceil420 ok i see. brb | 20:54 |
| subone | fccf: avidemux still returns same error about no sound | 20:54 |

| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 20:55 |
| subone | fccf: ty | 20:56 |
| alessio | ok sorry Pici | 20:56 |
| ceil420 | Pici, seems he asked there, but they weren't fast enough | 20:56 |
| ceil420 | (we're leeter) | 20:56 |
| seidos | Pici, didn't even know there was a hardware channel | 20:56 |
| G-man | kinda defeats the whole purpose | 20:56 |
| G-man | im not a fanboy of windows | 20:56 |
| Mhoram | disc errors reading/writing on my IDE DVD drive seem to cause the system to lose contact with it, and it no longer ejects or recognizes any disc I insert. Any way to 'reset' the driver and get it to re-recognize the drive without rebooting? | 20:57 |
| G-man | although i live in texas, and windows is the norm here | 20:57 |
| G-man | oh well | 20:57 |
| ceil420 | G-man, my friend would get off Windows if it wasn't for the games | 20:57 |
| ceil420 | also, i live in Texas, and i've used Linux for a coupla years now :p | 20:57 |
| G-man | eventually.... im sure they will take care of the games part | 20:57 |
| ceil420 | windows is "the norm" everywhere (on the desktop) | 20:57 |
| seidos | I have family in Texas | 20:57 |
| G-man | in due time | 20:57 |
| subone | fccf: looks like i properly installed tyhe GPG key now | 20:57 |
| JohnLocke | windows is "the worm" everywhere | 20:57 |
| G-man | they will figure out a way | 20:57 |
| ceil420 | seidos, funny, so do i :p | 20:57 |
| G-man | people are alot more knowledgable from a coding standpoint on linux anyway it seems | 20:57 |
| seidos | there are some good games on Linux, like Battle for Wesnoth :D | 20:57 |
| ceil420 | lol JohnLocke | 20:57 |
| G-man | the average windows users, are not so bright | 20:58 |

| ceil420 | you can find moron users from any OS tho | 20:59 |
| ceil420 | (including ubuntu, to make it on topic) | 20:59 |
| ceil420 | :x | 20:59 |
| G-man | windows is cool... if u like defragging and all that garbage all the time | 20:59 |
| chrisubu | how can i use the new win 7 feature: positionate a window with windows-key+left on the half screen ? | 20:59 |
| ManDay | How can I get rid of the useless remants of configuration of programs I have removed long time ago in gconf-editor? | 20:59 |
| ceil420 | chrisubu, try ##windows | 20:59 |
| ww-joel-d | Does anyone know of another ubuntu channel that isnt as full, I got some questions | 20:59 |
| chrisubu | iam sure there is a way in ubuntu | 20:59 |
| chrisubu | would be great for workflow | 21:00 |
| frostburn | G-man, ext3 needs defragging from time to time | 21:00 |
| ceil420 | oh | 21:00 |
| G-man | ah | 21:00 |
| ceil420 | chrisubu, misinterpreted your question, my bad | 21:00 |
| G-man | well about how often would u say? | 21:00 |
| subone | fccf: Force Version? | 21:00 |
| ceil420 | chrisubu, you can use a tiling window manager, like awesome | 21:00 |
| ceil420 | or dwm, i hear good things about that one | 21:00 |
| seidos | ww-joel-d, have you tried the forums? there are other chatrooms, but not for support, specifically | 21:00 |
| frostburn | G-man, depends on how many read/write operations and size of the files being written. if it's lots of large files, fairly often. databases doubly so | 21:00 |
| matrix__ | hey how can i split a file | 21:00 |
| subone | fccf: I don't have such a menu item | 21:01 |
| chrisubu | so why doesnt ubuntu support this ?? | 21:01 |
| frostburn | matrix__, split | 21:01 |
| ww-joel-d | seidos: I will give it a shot, thanks | 21:01 |
| G-man | im not too partial to large files | 21:01 |
| seidos | ww-joel-d, good luck | 21:01 |
| G-man | i keep it basic | 21:01 |
| andres_ | chrisubu, what functionality? | 21:01 |
| G-man | for the mostpart | 21:01 |
| ceil420 | chrisubu, because Ubuntu is not a Windows clone | 21:01 |
| matrix__ | frostburn: yes its a movie file i want to split it in 2 pieces | 21:01 |
| frostburn | matrix__, no, the command is split | 21:01 |
| seidos | ww-joel-d, or just ask your question, I'm listening | 21:01 |
| frostburn | man split | 21:01 |
| chrisubu | but it want replace windows | 21:01 |
| fccf | subone: open synaptic package manager ... in the packages menu you will see force version .. it is probably greyed out .. until you select ffmpeg | 21:01 |
| ceil420 | andres_, win7's new "snap window to half-fill a side of the screen" thing | 21:01 |
| andres_ | emmm... ratpoison has it | 21:01 |
| andres_ | since the 90s | 21:02 |
| ceil420 | chrisubu, if you think that's what linux (or ubuntu) is about, you're sorely mistaken | 21:02 |
| ceil420 | andres_, somehow i doubt this guy'd be a big fan of ratpoison :p | 21:02 |
| chrisubu | i know what linux is, but ubuntu is going the way they want replace windows | 21:02 |
| subone | fccf: its greyed out even when its selected | 21:02 |
| andres_ | ceil420, agreed | 21:02 |
| matrix__ | frostburn: there is no example on man split howto do it | 21:02 |
| andres_ | chrisubu, try ratpoison | 21:02 |
| G-man | anybody got working windows 7 with key? lol | 21:02 |
| fccf | subone: is it upgradeable? | 21:03 |
| G-man | without the genuine advantage B/S | 21:03 |
| ceil420 | chrisubu, nothing of the sort. Ubuntu wants to be a viable, accessible, simply desktop operating system. they don't want to 'replace' anyone. they're just making themselves available | 21:03 |
| chrisubu | anres, just watching ubuntu marketing | 21:03 |
| andres_ | Anyway, I think you just didn't find the windows manager that does that, chrisubu | 21:03 |
| ManDay | How can I get rid of the useless remants of configuration of programs I have removed long time ago in gconf-editor? | 21:03 |

| _CommandeR_ | anyone using Vistar7 transformation pack ;P ? Know how to merge the account to sudo ? | 21:05 |
| ww-joel-d | so, I cant seem to make symbols at all and the ones that work are like umlauts and random german characters | 21:05 |
| andres_ | I have a problem with system-config-printer | 21:05 |
| andres_ | It opens and it crashes | 21:05 |
| ceil420 | Adys_, i use JACK to redirect sound amongst programs. it may work | 21:06 |
| seidos | ww-joel-d, a keyboard problem...hmmm | 21:06 |
| andres_ | Adys_, agreed with ceil420 : qjackctl | 21:06 |
| ceil420 | Adys_, i'm sure JACK can work with hardware, i just have no use to do so | 21:06 |
| Adys_ | Thanks, gonna try that | 21:06 |
| break_ | hey, everyone. i'm trying to set up wireless on my laptop. i've got a broadcom bcm4311 apparently. i installed Broadcom's proprietary STA driver through jockey, and although the wl module loads, the device doesn't show up in NetworkManager. Furthermore, I can seem to turn the card on (the LED is off and the wireless button doesn't seem to do anything). I also get the following message in my syslog: "eth%d: 5.10.91.9 driver failed with cod | 21:06 |
| seidos | ww-joel-d...thinking | 21:07 |
| andres_ | how do I install a new network printer from the command line? | 21:07 |
| subone | fccf: ok then what? | 21:07 |
| ww-joel-d | yeah, Ive just installed it and the layout seems to be a bit off... I have tried changing layout to Usa, canadian canadian french, etc... | 21:07 |
| sebsebseb | !printer | andres_ | 21:07 |

| rizzuh | Is it safe to install Ubuntu (either native or via Wubi) if I have BitLocker turned on for the Windows partition? | 21:07 |
| subone | fccf: damn sec that didnt work | 21:07 |
| seidos | ww-joel-d, does your keyboard work in a terminal only? | 21:07 |
| break_ | moonshine: i'm listening... | 21:07 |
| sebsebseb | rizzuh: should be fine | 21:07 |
| matrix__ | anyone who knows how split works i have a file i want to split it in 2 pieces | 21:07 |
| rizzuh | ok, thanks | 21:07 |
| sebsebseb | rizzuh: well I woudn't do Wubi | 21:07 |
| fccf | subone: reload apt from repository ... you will have more than one ffmpeg available | 21:08 |
| ww-joel-d | seidos: it seems to work there | 21:08 |
| sebsebseb | hmm people leaving before I have finnished properly, oh well | 21:08 |
| seidos | matrix__, never used split | 21:08 |
| subone | fccf: which one of these do i want? http://debian-multimedia.org/ | 21:08 |
| seidos | ww-joel-d, in a terminal and in the live cd? | 21:08 |
| matrix__ | seidos what do you use | 21:08 |
| seidos | matrix__, I've never needed to split a file | 21:08 |
| shane2peru | matrix__: what file are you trying to split? | 21:08 |
| subone | fccf: Lenny? | 21:08 |
| matrix__ | its an .avi file | 21:09 |
| ww-joel-d | well, I have installed ubuntu via wubi just for the lack of commitment needed | 21:09 |
| seidos | !wubi | 21:09 |

| matrix__ | its an .avi file i want to make it shorter so i can upload it on youtube | 21:09 |
| fccf | subone: lenny is behind ubuntu ... you will want sid | 21:09 |
| matrix__ | so iwant to split the file in 2pieces | 21:09 |
| guntbert | sebsebseb: so he didn't hear my cautioning about creating a partition which is not recognized by bitlock :-) | 21:09 |
| shane2peru | matrix__: hmm, you can set time limits with mencoder, probably with ffmpeg too, the later is a bit easier. | 21:09 |
| ZykoticK9 | matrix__, checkout avidemux | 21:09 |

| === Sirisian|Work_ is now known as Sirisian|Work | ||
| fccf | matrix__: I use gopchop | 21:10 |
| shane2peru | matrix__: if you want graphical, I recommend, kdenlive, it is simple and seems to work well, or as stated by others, Avidemux or PiTiVi | 21:10 |
| ww-joel-d | no forward slash and question marks etc, just commas and periods the rest come up as foreign symbols | 21:10 |
| subone | fccf: what do you mean by "behind ubuntu", you mean chronologically it is out of date? | 21:11 |
| shane2peru | fccf: gopchop only supports mpeg doesn't it? | 21:11 |
| fccf | shane2peru: you're right | 21:11 |
| fccf | subone: exactly | 21:11 |
| subone | fccf: ok so choose the unstabble version? | 21:11 |
| subone | fccf: in synaptic i mean | 21:11 |
| johnsmith | hey room | 21:11 |
| seidos | ww-joel-d, keyboard works in windows? | 21:11 |
| johnsmith | does ubuntu support reiser4 | 21:11 |
| ww-joel-d | of course, its a laptop | 21:11 |
| fccf | subone: they have been calling sid unstable for 3 years... I call it usable | 21:11 |
| shane2peru | !hi | johnsmith | 21:11 |
| nycrbot | goodafternoon shane2peru | 21:12 |
| ubottu | johnsmith: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 21:12 |
| seidos | ww-joel-d, what kind of keyboard is it? what model laptop is it? | 21:12 |
| Andy80 | is it possible to enable/disable compiz effects on ubuntu from command line? I'd like to create a script that disable them, launch a game, then when I exit game it enables them again... is it possible? | 21:12 |
| sebsebseb | guntbert: no I guess not, and some people should stick around a bit longer, instead of asking a question, getting a reply, and leaving so quickly | 21:12 |
| shane2peru | nycrbot: good afternoon | 21:12 |
| nycrbot | hi, shane2peru! | 21:12 |
| sebsebseb | guntbert: plus people aren't always right in here | 21:12 |
| m1dlg | stupid question guys - how do I move my panel from one screen to another - after running frets on fire and crashing my video it's on the wrong screen. | 21:12 |
| unop | fccf, sid never becomes stables - it is always unstable, always has been, and always will be | 21:12 |
| johnsmith | what do you want to talk about sebsebseb | 21:12 |
| problemato | hi, i want to know if ubuntu 9.04 finally supports ati 3d opengl? | 21:12 |
| sebsebseb | johnsmith: what? | 21:12 |
| subone | fccf: E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. | 21:12 |
| subone | E: Unable to lock the download directory | 21:12 |
| ww-joel-d | seidos: hp g60, Im currently trying to find if I can find a similar keyboard layout posted in the keyboard list here | 21:13 |
| johnsmith | you said people just ask a question get an answer and then leave | 21:13 |
| fccf | subone: check broken packages ... in status | 21:13 |
| johnsmith | sounded like you want a conversation topic | 21:13 |
| shane2peru | m1dlg: are you using gnome-panel? or something modified? | 21:13 |
| sebsebseb | johnsmith: well I don't tend to say everything in one reply | 21:13 |
| m1dlg | I think it's gnome | 21:13 |
| sebsebseb | johnsmith: in one line whatever you want to say | 21:13 |
| subone | fccf second time worked, one sec | 21:13 |
| seidos | ww-joel-d, you could register on the forums in windows, do a search for hp g60 keyboard | 21:13 |
| seidos | ww-joel-d, I'm going to check the forums now | 21:14 |
| shane2peru | m1dlg: you can press alt-f2 and type: killall gnome-panel that will reload the panel | 21:14 |
| johnsmith | does morrowind work in ubuntu | 21:14 |
| sebsebseb | guntbert: Wubi is bad really, however it's done :D | 21:14 |
| shane2peru | m1dlg: it should fix your issue. | 21:14 |
| ww-joel-d | but I cant haha, no at symbol or anything | 21:14 |
| m1dlg | shane2peru, I wont loose all my shortcuts etc if I do that? | 21:14 |
| subone | Depends: libavcodec52 (>=5:0.5+svn20090906) but 3:0.svn20090303-1ubuntu6 is to be installed | 21:14 |
| sebsebseb | guntbert: maybe the Wubi installer should warn about bitlocker | 21:14 |
| problemato | johnsmith, Oblivion does via wine | 21:14 |
| bobbob1016 | I am currently copying files across my network, 1.2 terabytes over 100mbps, and it's taking a long time. How can I verify the files/folders copied against their originals? | 21:14 |
| subone | fccf: i have to manually find each of these in the list and lock the versions? | 21:14 |
| johnsmith | but not elder scrolls III | 21:14 |
| shane2peru | m1dlg: no, that only resets the panel | 21:15 |
| problemato | johnsmith, i dont know | 21:15 |
| guntbert | sebsebseb: I don't know about that - never tried - I even don't know what it really accomplishes | 21:15 |
| johnsmith | md5sum | 21:15 |
| m1dlg | cool ta, I cant do it from a consol window? | 21:15 |
| fccf | subone: yep .. force version ... not lock version ... cause they will still get updates that way | 21:15 |
| shane2peru | m1dlg: terminal, console, whatever you would like. :) | 21:15 |
| shane2peru | m1dlg: we are flexible. | 21:16 |
| fccf | subone: but you should now be able to read audio from 3gp files | 21:16 |
| m1dlg | shane2peru, Thanks, I'd never remember that with out it in front of me -- I've had a stressful day :) Many thanks | 21:16 |
| seidos | ww-joel-d, I will see what I can find | 21:16 |
| problemato | does ubuntu jounty support ati opengl by default? i have intrepid and i wnat to know if its save to upgrade to jaunty | 21:16 |
| fccf | subone: force libavcodec52 to 5 | 21:16 |
| shane2peru | m1dlg: no prob | 21:16 |
| sebsebseb | problemato: does it work in 8.10? | 21:16 |
| ubuntuissues | hey all How to get the nvidia MCP73 soundcard working? | 21:16 |
| unop | bobbob1016, you could use rsync to do that | 21:16 |
| problemato | sebsebseb: yes | 21:17 |
| sebsebseb | problemato: I have heard about people having problems with ATI cards in 9.04 | 21:17 |
| m1dlg | shane2peru, done it, there still on the wrong monitor screen | 21:17 |
| sebsebseb | problemato: I mean read stuff in here | 21:17 |
| problemato | sebsebseb: yes i had on another machine | 21:17 |
| shane2peru | m1dlg: hmm, in that case, it is probably not the gnome-panel issue, it is probably your monitor setup. Do you have 2 monitors? | 21:18 |
| johnsmith | how stable is ubuntu on 64bit? | 21:18 |
| shane2peru | johnsmith: it is stable | 21:18 |
| shane2peru | johnsmith: I'm running 64bit | 21:18 |
| johnsmith | cool | 21:18 |
| johnsmith | amd or intel | 21:18 |
| sebsebseb | problemato: also with 9.10 being released on the 29th of October, and what is in 9.04, it is hardly worth upgrading really. I suggest clean installing when 9.10 comes out, for full support for the rather fast booting and disk checking Ext4 file system, without having to do some Ext3 to Ext4 conversion thing, | 21:18 |
| shane2peru | johnsmith: stability isn't the issue, sometimes you run into minor issues with flash and java, but over all everything is fine | 21:18 |
| frostburn | johnsmith, stable is dependent on video card | 21:18 |
| shane2peru | johnsmith: I have run it on both | 21:19 |
| frostburn | if it's a desktop | 21:19 |
| subone | fccf: this is going to take a while | 21:19 |

| m1dlg | shane2peru, yes 2 monitors, The left is meant to be the primary (and larger) monitor, the panels shifted when FOF crashed and the video was reset to 800x600, the video drivers are a real pain | 21:21 |

| subone | fccf: libavcodec52: | 21:22 |
| subone | Depends: libdirac-encoder0 but it is not installable | 21:22 |
| subone | Depends: libgsm1 (>=1.0.13) but 1.0.12-1 is to be installed.... but its not forcable | 21:22 |
| m1dlg | shane2peru, I'll reboot, but I see the killall command as doing the same thing. I have had nothing but trouble with this set up and want to perform a reinstal, but dont have the HDD space | 21:23 |
| jems | Hi all, how do I configure screen brightness in my dv3 2102Tu, nothing seems to work | 21:23 |
| shane2peru | m1dlg: well, it will probably reset your monitor setup and hopefully correct the monitor problem. | 21:23 |
| m1dlg | shane2peru, In other distro's I've been able to lock and unlock the panels and therefore move them much like I can in windows | 21:24 |
| fccf | subone: it will take me a little while, but I am going to install jaunty into a Virtual Machine to get a package list that will work for you ... | 21:24 |
| MTec007 | is there any way i can make my volume buttons on my laptop control headphones and master, instead of just master? or how do i switch the control from master to headphone? | 21:24 |
| m1dlg | shane2peru, I'll try a reboot as it does seem sencible | 21:24 |
| Flare183 | shane2peru: You can move the panels around, all you have to do is drag them from one side of the screen to another. | 21:24 |
| subone | fccf: omg ur da best | 21:24 |
| MTec007 | can ubuntu detect headphones plugging in? | 21:24 |
| jems | Hi all, how do I configure screen brightness in my dv3 2102Tu, nothing seems to work | 21:24 |
| shane2peru | m1dlg: I've never run two monitors, so, I'm not sure about that stuff, I can move my panels, but only on one screen. :) | 21:24 |
| gravaera | oh lord god...when will Google chrome finally finish up for Ubuntu... | 21:24 |
| gravaera | firefox is so slow... | 21:24 |
| thiebaude | MTec007, it detects mine | 21:24 |
| m1dlg | I cant move them at all | 21:25 |
| frostburn | gravaera, use ff 3.5 | 21:25 |
| shane2peru | Flare183: no, he is having problems with multiple monitor setup | 21:25 |
| shane2peru | m1dlg: you can't move them at all? | 21:25 |
| Flare183 | shane2peru: Ahh ok. | 21:25 |
| andres_ | lol@slow-firefox, gravaera | 21:25 |
| RabidWeezle | has anyone got a virgin mobile aircard usb dongle to work in ubuntu? | 21:25 |
| m1dlg | shane2peru, no | 21:25 |
| shane2peru | Flare183: well, perhaps not. | 21:25 |
| thiebaude | gravaera, it wont be long | 21:25 |
| MTec007 | thiebaude, out of the box? | 21:25 |
| ActionParsnip | gravaera: firefox is so slow. I use opera. much faster | 21:25 |
| thiebaude | MTec007, it sure does | 21:26 |
| RabidWeezle | opera turbo ftw | 21:26 |
| ActionParsnip | turbo? | 21:26 |
| shane2peru | m1dlg: ohh, right click, select properties, and play around with it | 21:26 |
| thiebaude | ActionParsnip, i use opera 10 | 21:26 |
| MTec007 | thiebaude, does it switch the control from master to head phones? | 21:26 |
| Flare183 | !ot | RabidWeezle | 21:26 |
| ubottu | RabidWeezle: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 21:26 |
| shane2peru | m1dlg: mine didn't move either. | 21:26 |
| RabidWeezle | Flare183|that wasn't off topic | 21:26 |
| RabidWeezle | but thanks | 21:26 |
| thiebaude | MTec007, sometimes when i log-in it will mute it and then i have to un--mute | 21:26 |
| m1dlg | shane2peru, I had it expanded, when I shrunk it it worked | 21:26 |
| ActionParsnip | RabidWeezle: is there a repo for turbo, or is it a case of extract archive? | 21:27 |
| MTec007 | thiebaude, i dont know why mine wont do it then | 21:27 |
| m1dlg | shane2peru, many thanks, I was being a bit stupid :) | 21:27 |
| fccf | subone: can we move this to a PM | 21:27 |
| RabidWeezle | ActionParsnip, Turbo is built into opera 10 | 21:27 |
| shane2peru | m1dlg: that is odd, I can't move mine either, that must be a Jaunty thing, I usually don't move them | 21:27 |
| Flare183 | RabidWeezle: Actually its unrelated to ubuntu support, so yes it is. | 21:27 |
| thiebaude | MTec007, im not sure why | 21:27 |
| RabidWeezle | Flare183, o rly? | 21:27 |
| MTec007 | like now my headphones are in, and un muted, but the control is still on master, and master is muted. | 21:27 |
| subone | fccf: please | 21:27 |
| shane2peru | m1dlg: no prob, so that worked? | 21:27 |
| ActionParsnip | RabidWeezle: i see | 21:27 |
| ActionParsnip | opera ftw either way | 21:28 |
| MTec007 | and i dont know how to give the control to headphones | 21:28 |
| thiebaude | MTec007, can you un-mute master? | 21:28 |
| RabidWeezle | ActionParsnip | 21:28 |
| shane2peru | Flare183: hmm, that is odd, my panels don't move, is that new in Jaunty, I'm just finding this out? | 21:28 |
| MTec007 | yeah. i muted it | 21:28 |
| thiebaude | ok | 21:28 |
| m1dlg | shane2peru, after I untoggled expand, it shrunk and I could move it from the left most end, not from the middle though. It did work. a minor bug perhaps? | 21:28 |
| meplz | When I rename .desktop to .idesktop it says "Key file contains line 'table Config' which is not a key-value pair, group, or comment.". What does this mean ? | 21:28 |
| Flare183 | shane2peru: Well, I made a slight mistake. You can move then via the panel's properties window. | 21:29 |
| shane2peru | m1dlg: I'm not sure, they used to move rather freely, and I'm boggled, because mine don't move either. | 21:29 |
| shane2peru | Flare183: I think you used to be able to grab them and drag them in the past | 21:29 |
| Flare183 | shane2peru: I agree | 21:29 |
| RabidWeezle | ActionParsnip, (tab issue), in opera 10, it's a setting in there to enable turbo mode, if you are running on a system that counts your bandwidth, it helps alot | 21:30 |
| shane2peru | Flare183: I don't usually move mine, so I hadn't noticed, but I'm about 90% sure in hardy you can drag and drop them, my kids move theirs all the time. | 21:30 |
| m1dlg | shane2peru, Flare183, perhaps it's a minor bug or a deliberate decision to make it that way? | 21:30 |
| thiebaude | RabidWeezle, yep and it works great | 21:30 |
| shane2peru | m1dlg: Flare183 could be something to do with the new gnome stuff. | 21:30 |
| Adys_ | ceil420: I can't get jack to start here =/ I'm on kubuntu though | 21:30 |

| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about xchat | 21:31 |
| ww-joel-d | ill give irssi a try | 21:31 |
| RabidWeezle | thiebaude, I use it on my virgin mobile card since it restricts me to 1gb a month :/ | 21:31 |
| shane2peru | meanburrito920_: check battery, if not try unplugging it and re-plugging it in | 21:31 |
| shane2peru | meanburrito920_: I have this problem sometimes too. | 21:32 |
| m1dlg | shane2peru, Flare183, I only discovered the alt+ctrl+arrow in windows to change the way round the screen is displayed - I have a old buggy GFX card and the screen is often reverted and this saves the time it takes to return it to normal! | 21:32 |
| meanburrito920_ | shane2peru: i tried unplugging and replugging it in. no change. I don't think it is a battery issue as the indicator light works fine and the mouse is only a few days old. | 21:32 |
| jano_ | tud itt valaki magyarul? | 21:32 |
| shane2peru | meanburrito920_: hmm, that doesn't sound good. | 21:32 |

| vallesmarineris | Hi guys. I'm running ubuntu netbook remix (9.04) and ever since I installed, I seem to be missing many of the normal options in Administration. For example, I cannot see Login Window Preferences. I have tried googling this problem, but most results just say to launch Login Window Preferences, which I cannot see. I can see Hardware Drivers, Add/Remove, and a few other things. Can anyone help me figure out where these missing options are? | 21:33 |

| ww-joel-d | seidos: yeah, I used to run slackware back when I was 14, just kinda got out of it being a mid-20s workaholic | 21:35 |
| scott_ino2 | TheLinuxMoron, i believe that's application independent, so check the equilizer in the app you're using | 21:35 |

| cylux | RabidWeezle: Like? | 21:36 |
| RabidWeezle | there's alt cd isos cylux with non-gui installers | 21:36 |
| maco | cylux: the alternate cd instead of the live cd | 21:36 |

| Dantonic | seidos, what's the command for that? I've tried some commands I've found in the forums... but to no avail | 21:41 |
| RabidWeezle | seidos, sometimes a simple "sudo ifconfig eth0 down" then "sudo ifconfig eth0 up" can fix that sort of thing | 21:41 |
| n8tuser | Dantonic -> no need to reboot, you can try restarting networking via /etc/init.d/network restart | 21:41 |

| ww-joel-d | seidos: USA and Canada | 21:47 |
| scott_ino2 | TheLinuxMoron, it supposedly is a tool that can control bass and treble system widxe | 21:47 |
| vock | iceroot: I used WinEdt for the one time i needed to use Latex, and beyond that i haven't touched it, I'll check out Kile | 21:47 |
| ww-joel-d | seidos: neither seem to be working | 21:47 |
| erUSUL | vock: excel --> gnumeric | 21:47 |
| nycrbot | erUSUL: Results for hda: 1. Hispanic Dental Association: http://www.hdassoc.org/ | 2. HDA, Inc. - Premier Provider of Lifestyle Media Products: http://www.hdainc.com/ | 3. HDA Parts Network - The Heavy Vehicle Professionals: http://www.hdamerica.com/ | 21:47 |
| erUSUL | who owns that bot ? | 21:47 |
| TheLinuxMoron | scott_ino: k its installing.. | 21:47 |
| scott_ino2 | TheLinuxMoron, but honestly I'd just try something other than totem and adjust it from the application.. not the best fix but... you know | 21:48 |
| vock | erUSUL: Installing it know, will it open .xlsx? | 21:48 |
| scott_ino2 | TheLinuxMoron, not 100 percent sure it'll work but this says it should | 21:48 |
| ActionParsnip | vock: it will do its best, xlsx is a proprietary format | 21:48 |
| scott_ino2 | TheLinuxMoron, did you check in volume preferences to see if you had a "tone" control | 21:48 |
| scott_ino2 | as the tone i beleive controls bass/treble | 21:48 |
| vock | ActionParsnip, thanks, i can always convert first i suppose, not a big deal | 21:48 |
| hermitcrabred | Hi again | 21:48 |
| seidos | ww-joel-d, it's an interesting problem. | 21:48 |
| iceroot | ActionParsnip: xlsx is not proprietary, its zipped xml | 21:48 |
| ActionParsnip | vock: the computer community at large (except MS) is pushing for an open format that all suites can use | 21:48 |
| erUSUL | vock: xls excel files ? yes. but VBA macros and some things may not work | 21:49 |
| hermitcrabred | ...can someone please give the command for checking the MD5...Thanks! | 21:49 |
| seidos | ww-joel-d, can you give me an example of keys that don't work, specifically? | 21:49 |
| ActionParsnip | iceroot: nice | 21:49 |
| scott_ino2 | TheLinuxMoron, The solution is to select "Tone" in "Edit -> Preferences" in GNOME's Volume Control application and then enable it under the Switches tab. The controls then work as expected. | 21:49 |
| sebsebseb | vock: called Open Document Format, which Open Office 2.0+ uses by default, also many local city councils and goverment organisations and such want this format | 21:49 |
| vock | perfect, thanks a lot guys, wish I asked you sooner | 21:49 |
| ww-joel-d | seidos: yeah, my keymapping seems to to change from browser client to irc client, etc | 21:49 |
| matrixblue | is it possible to run two desktop environments simultaneously? | 21:49 |
| ww-joel-d | seidos: very odd | 21:49 |
| iceroot | ActionParsnip: like docx, its also zipped xml, he old format doc,xls and so on are proprietary | 21:49 |
| sebsebseb | vock: also if you save a document in a propritary format, that you want to still be able to open in say 20 years time, well you may find you got an issue with current programs, but if it's in an open format, you should be alright | 21:50 |
| ActionParsnip | iceroot: every day is a school day | 21:50 |
| iceroot | matrixblue: yes, its working fine with 2 monitors (just edit in the nvidia-settings toll) you are running 2 x-servers then | 21:50 |
| messerschmitt | spanish ubuntu channel? T_T | 21:50 |
| === Davide is now known as dantonic | ||
| seidos | ww-joel-d, that doesn't make any sense. I was under the impression that keyboard functionality was very low level | 21:50 |
| dantonic | hi | 21:50 |
| erUSUL | !es | messerschmitt | 21:50 |
| ubottu | messerschmitt: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. | 21:50 |
| dantonic | didnt work | 21:50 |
| TheLinuxMoron | scott_ino2: i dont c edit or prefere. | 21:50 |
| messerschmitt | thnks | 21:51 |
| iceroot | ActionParsnip: that is the interessing part of computers | 21:51 |
| sebsebseb | vock: programs at the time I meant above | 21:51 |
| ActionParsnip | iceroot: definately :D | 21:51 |
| dantonic | RabidWeezle, it didnt work... all those commands | 21:51 |
| TheLinuxMoron | scott_ino2: did u go to ur speakers to find this? | 21:51 |
| ImportantGuy1 | So I'm on a public wifi and I can get on IRC (as you can see) but Firefox will not load pages | 21:51 |
| matrixblue | iceroot I meant like on two consoles like f7 and f6 | 21:51 |
| seidos | ww-joel-d, ah, but you're saying it only doesn't work in wubi, not anywhere else. | 21:51 |
| ActionParsnip | ImportantGuy1: can you ping web addresses by name and ip | 21:51 |
| dantonic | n8tuser, it didn't work :( | 21:51 |
| scott_ino2 | TheLinuxMoron, it should be under volume control on the little speaker icon | 21:51 |
| ww-joel-d | seidos: yeah, I< | 21:52 |
| ww-joel-d | I am almost thinking uninstall and repartion legit | 21:52 |
| seidos | ww-joel-d, do you have access to system -> prefs -> keyboard? | 21:52 |
| iceroot | matrixblue: i am sure this is also possible but dont know how | 21:52 |
| ImportantGuy1 | ActionParsnip: I'll try | 21:52 |
| nycrbot | i am unable to correct problems, you have to worry where it'll end up on the client where the doc also says, if you wanted to make the computer to a pastebin for us | 21:52 |
| Deathvalley122 | hello can someone help me here with me unable to unzip a file? | 21:52 |
| scott_ino2 | TheLinuxMoron, then click preferences and under the tracks where it says "select tracks to be visable" see if you have a "tone" button | 21:52 |
| iceroot | Deathvalley122: unzip filename | 21:52 |
| ImportantGuy1 | ActionParsnip: Pinging works 100% success | 21:52 |
| RabidWeezle | dantonic, look up your network card on google like, example: "realtek 8149B ubuntu disconnecting" or something like that of the sorts, see if other people are having the same issue | 21:52 |
| Deathvalley122 | iceroot: I am getting errors | 21:52 |
| dantonic | RabidWeezle, is there a way to check in ubuntu the exact model of my card? | 21:52 |

| frostburn | hwilde, yeah, completely different, unfortunately | 21:54 |
| gravaera | hi!! everyone, HI!!! I'd like ot say hello to all of you out there!!! | 21:54 |
| ratapoil | I need to run an expensive statistics software for university. It doesn't run under WINE, it has big display problems. My laptop is too recent for WinXP and I god it with ubuntu pre-installed, I can't seem to find a pirated VISTA out there. What options do I have - are there good Windows emulators / virtual machines I can try? | 21:54 |
| TheLinuxMoron | scott_ino2: yeah in that I found switches but nothing that says tone | 21:54 |
| gravaera | hi!! everyone, HI!!! I'd like ot say hello to all of you out there!!! So, everyone, Hello!!!! | 21:54 |
| ImportantGuy1 | hi | 21:54 |
| frostburn | ratapoil, virtualbox | 21:54 |
| n8tuser | dantonic -> it did not restart your networking? really? | 21:54 |
| Deathvalley122 | did anyone see the pastebin I pasted? | 21:55 |
| erUSUL | !vbox | ratapoil | 21:55 |
| ubottu | ratapoil: 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 | 21:55 |
| scott_ino2 | TheLinuxMoron, ok then it's not an option and you'll have to use either another program to make the system wide change, or do it on the applications mixer/equilizer settings | 21:55 |
| apollo | ubuntu cross compiler package anyone? | 21:55 |
| G-man | how do i make my panel span across the top of my main screen | 21:55 |
| gravaera | Hi right back!!! And Hi to all!!!! | 21:55 |
| dantonic | n8tuser, well I still have no internet after running those commands... the little icon says "Wired netowork disconnected" or something like that | 21:55 |
| scott_ino2 | TheLinuxMoron, again totem is really bad imho but if that's what you want to use i'll see if we can figure out a way to use a mixer for totem | 21:55 |
| ww-joel-d | seidos: Thanks for the help! | 21:55 |
| sebsebseb | gravaera: hi | 21:55 |
| brendan` | !free | 21:55 |
| ubottu | freedom is important. Ubuntu is as free as we can make it, which means mostly free software. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/licensing | 21:55 |
| RabidWeezle | ratapoil, trust me, your laptop isn't too recent, it's just your laptop manufacturer doesn't have the proper drivers on their site I bet. If you look up each component yourself you will get it to work. I bought 2 new laptops in the last couple of months and had the same issues | 21:55 |
| seidos | ww-joel-d, :) | 21:55 |
| scott_ino2 | TheLinuxMoron, actually one other thing first | 21:55 |
| gravaera | I'm having a beautiful day. What about you all??!!!! | 21:55 |
| scott_ino2 | TheLinuxMoron, that we can try | 21:55 |
| brendan` | !beer | 21:55 |
| ubottu | Beer is always appreciated. | 21:55 |
| TheLinuxMoron | scott_ino2: im using vlc now I did find a equalizer.. so why dont ubuntu have tone when some does | 21:56 |
| G-man | nm | 21:56 |
| guntbert | !welcome | gravaera do you have an ubuntu support question? | 21:56 |
| ubottu | gravaera do you have an ubuntu support question?: Welcome to #ubuntu - the Ubuntu support channel. | 21:56 |
| brendan` | !abuse | 21:56 |
| ubottu | The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 21:56 |
| ActionParsnip | ratapoil: if the software is crucial you could stump up for an XP license and instal XP in a virtualbox, very memory bloating but the app will work. | 21:56 |
| n8tuser | dantonic -> well the scripts runs the nic shutdown and then brings it up, you waited long enuff? | 21:56 |
| RabidWeezle | ratapoil, yes, vmware can do quite a bit like that | 21:56 |
| === sale_ is now known as sale | ||
| scott_ino2 | TheLinuxMoron, because it's a matter of how linux handles sound output. Most users wouldn't want to control bass/treble on this "system-wide" basis... 8it's just how it's made. It offers finer control over how you use sound. | 21:56 |
| === ww-joel-d_ is now known as ww-joel-d2 | ||

| dantonic | n8tuser, I waited for the Network manager to first try restarting the connection by itself... | 21:57 |
| scott_ino2 | TheLinuxMoron, however i might have another answer for a system wide change | 21:57 |
| ww-joel-d2 | so much better, I was getting pretty annoyed there... | 21:57 |
| rshank | hey just wanted to see if anyone else was having issues getting access to the repositories.. | 21:57 |
| seidos | n8tuser, I ran /etc/init.d/networking restart and it said it ignored eth0 and wlan0 | 21:57 |
| * RabidWeezle scoots back to linux | 21:57 | |
| judgen | hmm no usplash editor huh... | 21:57 |
| ww-joel-d2 | now to get onto the forums so I can figure out why my wifi button doesn't want to work | 21:57 |
| Deathvalley122 | did anyone see my pastebin? | 21:57 |
| dantonic | n8tuser, after it gave the message of netowrk disconnected I tried those commands..., then nothing, so I clicked on the NW manager and picked "auto connect" and it tried to connect again... and nothing again | 21:57 |
| n8tuser | seidos really? can you pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces file? | 21:58 |
| seidos | but that makes sense, since eth0 isn't plugged in | 21:58 |
| === rot is now known as anal_rot | ||
| TheLinuxMoron | scott_ino: yeah what ever u had me do from synaptic.. I never saw a change in the mixer.. not sure if u saw me say that or not.. | 21:58 |
| n8tuser | dantonic -> something is amiss, can you also pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces file? | 21:58 |
| scott_ino2 | TheLinuxMoron, linux uses various sound servers which offer a lot more flexibility with sound.. essentially you can do more than on other platforms, but can occationally cause frustration for small things such as this. your problem is somewhat unique as most would want to control it independantly, given how individual apps use sound differently | 21:58 |
| === anal_rot is now known as rot | ||
| scott_ino2 | TheLinuxMoron, give me one sec i am trying to find the other package name... not sure if you know how sound works, especially in buntu, but it now uses something called pulse audio so im having you go through the pulse audio manager but you'll need to installs omething first | 21:59 |
| dantonic | n8tuser, sorry can you remind me how to do that? what's the exact command I use in the terminal? | 21:59 |
| Swian | how can you lock a user down to specific applications in ubuntu 9.04? | 21:59 |
| seidos | n8tuser, my networking is working, I just ran /etc/init.d/networking restart to see what would happen | 22:00 |
| n8tuser | dantonic you vi the subject file and then paste in pastebin | 22:00 |
| n8tuser | !pastebin | 22:00 |
| ubottu | pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic | 22:00 |
| TD | Link info: http://tinyurl.com/imagebin expands to http://imagebin.org/index.php?page=add | 22:00 |
| n8tuser | seidos did it do what you expected it to be? | 22:00 |
| seidos | dantonic, you can use nano instead of vi, I find it easier. Or gedit, if you're in gnome | 22:00 |
| timClicks | can anyone recommend a package uses 9.04's notification system for tweets and gmail messages? | 22:01 |
| seidos | n8tuser, no. I expected wireless to go down, and then come up, which it didn't | 22:01 |
| dantonic | so gedit /etc/network/interfaces | 22:01 |
| dantonic | ? | 22:01 |
| timClicks | seidos: agree with you on nano, so much easier than vi | 22:01 |
| seidos | dantonic, I think you need to do sudo | 22:01 |
| erUSUL | seidos: gksudo if it is a graphical app | 22:01 |
| erUSUL | !gksudo | 22:01 |
| ubottu | 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) | 22:01 |
| seidos | erUSUL, thank you, gksudo nano /etc/network/interfaces | 22:02 |
| dantonic | seidos, n8tuser, this is all the file says: auto lo | 22:02 |
| dantonic | iface lo inet loopback | 22:02 |
| timClicks | dantonic: gksudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces | 22:02 |
| timClicks | dantonic: will allow you to save :) | 22:02 |
| n8tuser | dantonic and how many interfaces do you have? | 22:02 |
| dantonic | n8tuser, what do you mean by interfaces? Network cards? there is only one on the motherboard | 22:03 |
| seidos | timClicks, I used vi some time ago on a redhat system. I liked how it was configured to color code files | 22:03 |
| * timClicks nods at seidos | 22:03 | |
| timClicks | i haven't spent a few weeks getting used to vi/vim or emacs | 22:03 |
| rshank | anyone else having problems accessing many of the jaunty repos? | 22:04 |

| rshank | thanks, ice... | 22:04 |
| judgen | anyone know why my download link on gnome-look does not work? | 22:04 |
| iceroot | judgen: no | 22:05 |
| scott_ino2 | i hate when im helping people and they just leave | 22:05 |
| seidos | dantonic, you may want to try disabling networking and reenabling in gnome panel in the upper right side of the screen | 22:05 |
| dantonic | seidos, ya tried several times | 22:05 |
| seidos | dantonic, ah | 22:05 |

| scott_ino2 | dantonic, did you try cleaning your apt-get cache | 22:06 |
| timClicks | judgen: perhaps you could try wget | 22:06 |
| dantonic | seidos, well obviously it's on now! duh stupid me! :P I can check after I suspend though... | 22:06 |
| n8tuser | dantonic yes network interface is the nic card.. embedded on mobo or not | 22:06 |
| timClicks | judgen: or right click + save file as | 22:07 |
| dantonic | scott_ino2, I did not how do I do that? | 22:07 |
| timClicks | judgen: rather than simply clicking d/kl | 22:07 |
| timClicks | judgen: *d/l | 22:07 |
| dantonic | n8tuser, it is embedded on the mobo | 22:07 |
| judgen | timClicks, no, my page on gnome-files does not have a download link... even though ive added one. | 22:07 |
| judgen | timClicks, i made a theme | 22:07 |
| scott_ino2 | dantonic, try "sudo apt-get clean all" without quotes | 22:07 |
| scott_ino2 | and try again | 22:07 |
| timClicks | judgen: oh, no idea. don't know that site too well unfortunately | 22:07 |
| seidos | n8tuser, I guess nic could stand for network interface chip... | 22:07 |
| matrix__ | hey guys iam using ffmpeg when i split a file i get lower quaility | 22:08 |
| iceroot | seidos: network interface card | 22:08 |
| n8tuser | dantonic -> so you need to have an entry on your interfaces file so that you can override the nm | 22:08 |
| dantonic | seidos, I did read somewhere that someone had a problem with the Nic powering off and not coming back online, and if they re plugged the NIC in while the computer was on it would come back to life... | 22:08 |
| dantonic | scott_ino2, what does that do exactly? | 22:08 |
| timClicks | soreau, there are no twitter/gmail notifiers that work with 9.04's notification system? | 22:08 |

| dantonic | n8tuser, how do I do that? | 22:08 |
| G-man | how do i find my external hard drive? | 22:08 |
| seidos | iceroot, was trying to be helpful since they aren't "cards" these days | 22:08 |
| timClicks | G-man: should come up automatically | 22:08 |
| n8tuser | dantonic you can add an entry to that file, man interfaces for more explanations | 22:09 |
| timClicks | G-man: it will be mounted to /media/ | 22:09 |

| dantonic | man interfaces | 22:09 |
| seidos | dantonic, do you mean replugging in the cable? | 22:09 |
| dantonic | oh in terminal :P | 22:09 |

| [tla] | Hi. I have a Hardy server I only have terminal server access to. The server has an 8.03 alternate CD in its local drive. I need to get "ifenslave" on the server but does not appear to be on the -alternate CD. I have the ifenslave .deb on another server. I figured I could paste the .deb via the term serv if it was ascii so "uuencode" (sharutils) would textify it for me. Problem is,... | 22:20 |
| [tla] | ...sharutils does not appear to be on the -alternate CD so I have no way of getting that onto the target server! Any idea how I can transfer the binary using standard utils available on the -alternate CD? Thx. | 22:20 |
| ActionParsnip | bambam: think about it, you just renamed your profile, so you will get a new blank one | 22:20 |

| Keelan | i have a quick question though | 22:29 |
| seidos | rizzuh_desktop, that is probably the ath_pci or ath_hal driver, which I have blacklisted because it doesn't work with atheros ar242x | 22:29 |
| xmnt_ | Keelan, get used to it ... you have a long life ahead of you | 22:29 |

| adac | What is the command line command for the grafical program to share the desktop? | 22:38 |
| seidos | Dantonic, in network manager, in the system tray, after you suspend disabling your network connection and reenabling your network connection might fix your problem. It worked with my wifi, but I haven't had that problem in a long time | 22:38 |
| Guest20606 | go to "./RT2870_Linux_STA_Drv_x.x.x.x/" directory. | 22:38 |

| Keelan | fccf: USB* | 22:40 |
| seidos | Dantonic, well, I should say that's all I've done, and if it works for you, then the gnome-conf-editor setting may help you...permanently | 22:40 |
| Dantonic | seidos, ya doesnt work... :( sigh I'm ready to give up on this... really put so many hours into it... idk if it's even worth trying anymore I reported a bug somewhere too.. idk havent received any response on that | 22:41 |

| Dantonic | seidos, ah I see so the gnome-conf-editor allows you to set what? options commands to be executed at certian times? | 22:41 |

| xangua | Dantonic: problems with an atheros¿¿ have you tried 'ndiswrapper' ¿¿ | 22:42 |
| seidos | Dantonic, it allows one to set resetting of the network interface after suspend, though I may have some verbiage wrong on that one | 22:42 |

| scott_ino2 | Dantonic, i thought you had a wifi problem as well... with it cutting out | 22:44 |

| Solar_Flare | Again, Hi. | 22:48 |
| Keelan | will the guide on how to configure the wireless adapter for 8.10 work on 9.x? | 22:48 |
| fccf | Keelan: it is looking like you will need to use the windows drivers and ndiswrapper ... install ndiswrapper ndisgtk and deps .. use ndisgtk to load the windows .inf file on the driver disk that came with the card | 22:48 |
| IdleOne | G-man: you can use gparted from ubuntu live cd | 22:48 |
| Adilae | anyone have any idea how to get an Atheros AR242X (AR5007EG) wireless card working on a computer that has absolutely no access to the internet right now? All the guides I find tell me to install stuff :/ | 22:48 |
| Solar_Flare | does anyone know a good reference on how to get a Canon Lide 50 Scanner working with Ubuntu? | 22:48 |
| seidos | Dantonic, you can try gconf-editor, general, check network sleep | 22:48 |
| Keelan | hmmmmmmm | 22:48 |
| iceroot | G-man: you can simple run it but its better to use a liv-cd | 22:48 |
| G-man | how would i make a live cd in ubuntu | 22:49 |
| iceroot | Solar_Flare: google is a good place for this or the ubuntu-forums | 22:49 |
| xmnt_ | anyone know the keyboard shortcut to open nautilus | 22:49 |
| Keelan | fccf: i honestly have no idea how to do that, im an Ubuntu novice | 22:49 |
| seidos | is disabling/enabling a network interface in network manager the same as using ifconfig interface up/down? | 22:49 |

| Adilae | G-man: simply download or buy an ubuntu install CD, stick it into the computer, and reboot. You'll have the option to try ubuntu without making changes. | 22:50 |
| iceroot | x404x: yes | 22:50 |
| zvacet | G-man : if you download Gparted burn ti and boot from it | 22:50 |
| Solar_Flare | iceroot: i googled ^^ didn't bring up anything usefull, so i thought, asking in the ubuntu channel wouldnt hurt | 22:50 |
| iceroot | x404x: but only non-mounted drives | 22:50 |
| IdleOne | x404x: yes but better be safe then sorry. backup | 22:50 |

| === ejv_ is now known as ejv | ||

| Zirg | what's the 'name' for 8.04 LTS?? (e.g. hardy, intrepid, jaunty, karmic, etc) | 22:55 |
| fccf | Keelan: if you download ndiswrapper (3 files) shown on the howto page within the installer and install them into the live mode ... you will just have to do it again after the install ... you will use the windows drivers disk after that is installed to put the wireless drivers into ndisgtk | 22:55 |

| fccf | coilette: ftp is disabled in ubuntu for a reason ( it is not secure ) .... SSH (openssh) does the same thing and you can do everything you can do with ftp and it will be secure | 22:59 |
| fccf | coilette: I believe that is the second time I have told you that | 23:00 |
| G_A_C | Solar_Flare: ndiswrapper should support all cards | 23:00 |
| x404x | why is ftp unsecure ? | 23:00 |
| Solar_Flare | G_A_C it is NOT a wireless card. | 23:00 |
| coilette | fccf nope, either you didnt type my name, or i missed it. | 23:00 |
| Solar_Flare | it is a SCANNER | 23:00 |
| seidos | Solar_Flare, I've only used ndiswrapper on a wireless card | 23:00 |
| coilette | fccf how do i enable ftp? | 23:01 |
| d_b | x404x: it's not encrypted | 23:01 |
| Solar_Flare | like, put a picture in, digitalize it. | 23:01 |
| fccf | x404x: passwords get sent un-uncrypted | 23:01 |
| Solar_Flare | ^^ | 23:01 |
| kd8JHC | coilltte: you want to enable SSH.. then you can use SFTP to transfer files securely | 23:01 |
| seidos | Solar_Flare, unfortunately I don't have the skill to do anything close to what you want | 23:01 |
| [tla] | Dulak: just figured out gpg is installed by default in ubuntu so using that the create an ascii armored file "gpg -a -c -o <outfile> <infile>" lets me paste it and the decrypt the other end with "gpg -d -o <outfile> <infile>". works a treat ;) | 23:02 |
| d_b | coilette: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/590 is good if you want to share files in 1 folder (and subfolders) only and only want to allow sftp in ssh. | 23:02 |

| erUSUL | !runlevel | 23:06 |
| ubottu | In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. | 23:06 |
| acts_as_rubyist | righton. now if i wanted to test my current rc2.d settings, how would i get them to run without restarting the box? | 23:07 |

| acts_as_rubyist | hmm... doesn't seem to be working. Either my settings are not functioning, or... some other thing. | 23:09 |
| johannes_ | hi, I think about setting up a diskless server, but I have some questions: 1. How much ram does the Client need? Is it any faster, when I put 4 GB instead of 3 GB into it? 2. Is it faster, if I use Gigabit Ethernet instead of Fast Ethernet? 3. Is the image loaded into the clients ram at the beginning and it doesnt need the server anymore or does it use the server as a harddisk? | 23:09 |
| seidos | Dantonic, type gconf-editor in a terminal | 23:09 |
| seidos | Dantonic, had to double check | 23:09 |
| acts_as_rubyist | erUSUL: | 23:10 |
| acts_as_rubyist | erUSUL: thanks for the cmd | 23:10 |
| erUSUL | acts_as_rubyist: no problem | 23:10 |
| tj83 | hey all, I need a little guidance, I am getting grub error 22 after an install, I have installed ubuntu on many machines but this one has me stuck, 22= no such partition and well, I mount the drive from the live cd, I use vol_id to verify the UUID in menu.lst and fstab are correct. what else to do? | 23:10 |

| Dantonic | ok let's try wish me luck :) | 23:14 |
| Dantonic | BRB | 23:14 |
| johannes_ | fccf this answers question 3 yet I am very interested in practical experiences using diskless booting, especially at question 1 and 2, and if you can make the image on the server read only without issues | 23:14 |
| seidos | Dantonic, good luck | 23:14 |
| terrestre | seidos, I use "locate" for that, but I need to find a word inside a document | 23:14 |
| Solar_Flare | terrestre grep? | 23:14 |
| erUSUL | terrestre: ubuntu comes eith tracker by default. beagle is also aviable for install | 23:14 |
| Adam24 | so what would the name be for the package installer? | 23:14 |
| seidos | grep, that's a good idea. | 23:14 |
| tj83 | Adam24, apt, aptitude | 23:15 |
| terrestre | I dont know what document is | 23:15 |
| erUSUL | terrestre: Aplications>accessoies>tracker | 23:15 |
| Adam24 | both failed. | 23:15 |
| seidos | terrestre locate seems faster than find, I need to practice it, thank you | 23:15 |
| tj83 | Adam24, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 23:16 |
| erUSUL | seidos: locat uses a database that is updated once a day... find actually traverses the filesystem on every run | 23:16 |
| Solar_Flare | after installing the genesys backend for sane, my scanner vanished -.- damn | 23:16 |
| Adam24 | ERROR: E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) | 23:16 |
| Adam24 | E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? | 23:16 |
| seidos | erUSUL, is find more precise? | 23:17 |
| terrestre | tracker is no longer install by default, that's why I ask is beagle better? | 23:17 |
| Solar_Flare | Adam24: need to be root? | 23:17 |
| tj83 | Adam24, make sure no other apt, aptitude or synaptic processes are funning | 23:17 |
| seidos | hmmm, maybe I'm not using locate properly | 23:17 |
| tj83 | running* | 23:17 |
| erUSUL | seidos: no; but locate can miss recently created files. so it is wise to do « sudo updatedb » before searchs if you are looking for a recent file | 23:17 |
| terrestre | seidos, just type "locate something" | 23:18 |
| seidos | erUSUL, thank you | 23:18 |
| fccf | johannes_: the idea of having a diskless machine gives you the opportunity to have all data save to a server ... having it be a read-only system negates the need for a server... boot live image from usb .... yes faster loading times with GigE than 100baseT ... ... more ram makes it faster, also makes it able to do more, say having 100 word docs open ... would slow down a 512meg ram diskless client ... but wouldn't slowdown a 4 gig machine | 23:18 |
| seidos | terrestre, I already did. I'm playing with both. | 23:18 |
| tj83 | hey all, I need a little guidance, I am getting grub error 22 after an install, I have installed ubuntu on many machines but this one has me stuck, 22= no such partition and well, I mount the drive from the live cd, I use vol_id to verify the UUID in menu.lst and fstab are correct. what else to do? | 23:18 |

| fccf | tj83: try adding all-ide-generic to the grub bootline before it says quiet splash | 23:31 |
| trism | tj83: you could try going into the grub console when you load up grub and either doing a find for boot/grub/menu.lst or trying tab completion on root to see if you can find the partition that way | 23:31 |
| Dantonic | but I probably didnt include much useful informationjust because I don't know how or what to include seidos | 23:31 |

| sam_sam | interesting answers for windows || linux ..well can someone tell me in which things windows is better ?? | 23:46 |
| xmnt_ | sam_sam, getting viruses | 23:46 |
| Maverick_M4 | anyone available for some trouble shooting with wireless drivers? | 23:46 |
| rsk | sam_sam: windows is good at defragmenting the hard-drives | 23:46 |
| Maverick_M4 | you don't need to defrag with ext3 | 23:46 |
| sam_sam | xmnt: in that windows is worst | 23:46 |
| fccf | G-man: you are asking in the wrong place .. this is ubuntu - not xubuntu ... Google Search xubuntu menu | 23:46 |
| xmnt_ | sam_sam, it's really good if you don't need to work | 23:46 |
| Maverick_M4 | or so I thought. | 23:46 |
| kermit | sam_sam: windows is good at running software written for windows | 23:47 |

| icarus | any time I try to enable extra normal or custom under appearance preferences i get a error message telling me that desktop effects can not be enabled.what am I doing wrong? | 23:47 |
| Gnea | G-man: check the #xubuntu channel | 23:47 |
| === Gate1 is now known as Zopiac | ||
| lstarnes | icarus: you need to have the right drivers | 23:47 |
| sam_sam | kermit: why would someone write software for an OS which does not give the code and besides much insecure ? | 23:47 |
| seidos | sam_sam, money | 23:48 |
| cms-aff1la | greek_linuxer: I have the img of moblin netbook beta refresh 20090818-001 but I can't figure how to install from ubuntu as I want to get moblin then use vm for ubu | 23:48 |
| xmnt_ | sam_sam, because people will buy it | 23:48 |
| rsk | sam_sam: probably because of the bigger userbase | 23:48 |
| lstarnes | sam_sam: because that OS might have a large user share | 23:48 |
| icarus | lstarnes, it worked earlyer today | 23:48 |
| rsk | yes people are use to pirate or buy software in windows | 23:48 |

| === help is now known as P3rnici0se | ||
| kermit | greek_linuxer: no, windows doesnt support very common hardware, new computers just install drivers for you, thats not window's doing | 23:48 |
| kermit | greek_linuxer: so you can say.. windows is better at coming already set up on more new computers | 23:49 |

| G-man | hehe.... yeah, i wanna play a 2d game as well | 23:49 |

| bastid_raZor | !puregnome | G-man ..if this is what you want. | 23:50 |
| ubottu | G-man ..if this is what you want.: If you want to remove all !KDE packages, type « sudo apt-get remove kdelibs4c2 kdelibs5-data && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » into a !terminal | 23:50 |
| Maverick_M4 | Steidos: try the nv driver, sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change the driver to nv | 23:50 |
| cms-aff1la | greek_linuxer: im trying to install from the os via a iso mount | 23:50 |
| cms-aff1la | greek_linuxer: hence netbook =p | 23:50 |
| G-man | and that will keep my video card drivers right? | 23:50 |
| bastid_raZor | G-man: uh, that isn't for xfce.. let me get the link for you.. if you want to get rid of xfce. | 23:50 |
| seidos | Maverick_M4, nv driver for intel graphics? | 23:50 |
| sam_sam | penstand: for me my ubuntu itself searched for the driver . | 23:50 |
| Maverick_M4 | Steidos: if you want the nvidia driver, have fun. i have alot of propblems with it too. | 23:50 |
| Maverick_M4 | yea | 23:50 |
| greek_linuxer | cms-aff1la: are you kidding me? | 23:50 |
| icarus | hello? | 23:50 |
| Maverick_M4 | seidos: where it says driver = "nvidia" or something make it driver = "nv" | 23:51 |
| Gnea | PenStand: System->Administration->Hardware Drivers | 23:51 |
| Maverick_M4 | i've done that alot as nvidia craches X for me. | 23:51 |
| Maverick_M4 | crashes X* | 23:51 |
| seidos | Maverick_M4, I have an intel graphics card, not nvidia | 23:51 |
| bastid_raZor | G-man: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome | 23:51 |
| Maverick_M4 | oh, fail | 23:51 |
| Maverick_M4 | sorry :( | 23:51 |
| Gnea | !intel | 23:51 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 9.04 has a known regression for some Intel graphics support. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/IntelPerformance and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582 for more information. | 23:51 |
| seidos | nah, it's cool, I was going to try it to see what would happen :) | 23:51 |
| cms-aff1la | greek_linuxer: no netbook no cd drive only usbflash and externals but ubuntu won't read the external since installed | 23:51 |
| PenStand | Gnea: then what? | 23:51 |
| Maverick_M4 | !wireless | 23:52 |
| ubottu | Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 23:52 |
| Gnea | PenStand: select the nvidia driver and install it | 23:52 |
| G-man | k thx | 23:52 |
| PenStand | Gnea: it's Intel | 23:52 |
| PenStand | Gnea: there's nothing in Hardware Driver list about VGA. Only about the wireless | 23:52 |
| Pulga | I have an IPOD, what I can do to sync with my ubuntu 9.04?? | 23:52 |
| G-man | will i need to re-install wine and .Net | 23:52 |
| G-man | or will it keep all of that | 23:52 |
| Gnea | PenStand: brainfart. yeah, check that link to intel that ubottu just put up. sorry about that | 23:52 |
| seidos | PenStand, I have intel graphics, and jaunty. I got desktop effects to work, but after awhile it will crash. have to wait for a driver update, probably in karmic | 23:52 |
| seidos | Pulga, rhythmbox can work to sync, but not DMA files | 23:53 |
| Gnea | seidos, PenStand: there's a chance it will (maybe it already is?) available for jaunty via ppa | 23:53 |
| seidos | Gnea, I added a repository for intel drivers, that helped get desktop effects working (but it still crashes when I enable them). | 23:54 |
| PenStand | Gnea: what' ppa? | 23:54 |
| seidos | Gnea, maybe it's ppa, let me check | 23:54 |
| Gnea | !ppa | 23:54 |
| ubottu | With Launchpad's Personal Package Archives (PPA), you can build and publish binary Ubuntu packages for multiple architectures simply by uploading an Ubuntu source package to Launchpad. See https://help.launchpad.net/PPAQuickStart. | 23:54 |
| jarjar | penstand: i suggest ubuntu 8.04 if nothing else works, i have heard that 9.04 does not work well with intel graphics cards or something like that, i have an intel integrated graphics chip, and 8.04 works fairly well(although the resolution will not go above 1024x768 properly) | 23:54 |
| Gnea | PenStand: it's basically a repository with newer software that isn't available in the regular repositories - it requires a bit of configuration to get working, usually the webpage with have the apt-key required to make it work | 23:55 |

| seidos | PenStand, and another one | 23:56 |
