| Ademan | does anyone have any reference materials or tutorials they might point me to for communicating with terminals?

| Ademan | thanks cwillu_at_work i'll check it out | 00:02 |
| th0r | Turbolinux: check the kompozer website. There is a bug in the repo version and you need to install the alpha release to get it to work in ubuntu. But I have been using it and it seems to work fine | 00:02 |
| Turbolinux | I will try your opinions. Thank you. | 00:03 |

| Vampire | Instead of typing a space character you type \040 | 00:20 |
| churl | Vampire: use '\040' for each space? | 00:20 |

| G-man | brb restart | 00:21 |

| ubottu | FlamingFlamingo: 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. | 00:21 |
| FlamingFlamingo | thanks ill try those | 00:21 |
| sebsebseb | FlamingFlamingo: basically if you got a Intel graphics card your better off with Ubuntu 8.10 for now, altough 9.10 comes out on the 29th of October, and that apparantly has the Intel issue fixed | 00:22 |
| FlamingFlamingo | sebsebseb: well see it worked fine literally 2 days ago (im going on my 6 month with ubuntu) and so i was just like 'what the heck' you know? but it might have been my fault | 00:23 |
| reaper_frost | does anyone know how to configure hardware to change what video output you use in 9.04? | 00:23 |
| Tim__ | sebsebseb: I'm on an Intel graphics card right now | 00:23 |
| Tim__ | 9.04 Jaunty | 00:23 |
| Tim__ | Also, FlamingFlamingo, what's the problem you're having? | 00:24 |
| sebsebseb | FlamingFlamingo Tim__ ok well it depends on the card if the xorg in 9.04 is bad or not etc, but yes there are people that have gone back to 8.10, because of issues with Intel graphic cards in 9.03 | 00:24 |

| churl | Vampire: it seems to work '\040' then leave out the space | 00:24 |

| xmnt_ | dm-madman, apt-get is a package manager ... it handles packages and their dependencies ... doesn't mean you'll always get the most up2date packages though | 01:19 |
| dm-madman | ah so basically if he just dumped the whole cd i send in there he could apt-get all that stuff easy | 01:19 |
| Flannel | pitput: "stuck"? | 01:19 |
| lstarnes | dm-madman: it would need to use the apt repository format | 01:19 |
| kd8JHC | he would use dpkg to install them, not apt | 01:19 |
| lstarnes | dm-madman: aptoncd can handle that | 01:19 |
| lstarnes | dm-madman: or you can use dpkg -i file.deb instead of apt-get | 01:20 |

| dm-madman | lstarnes: i do not have these utilities | 01:20 |

| TTNK | cornet just to transfer to an usb pen from my computer and backto other computer | 01:30 |
| pitput | Flannel, so that means I should just boot windows 7 beta and then use a bootloader for windows? | 01:30 |

| === austin__ is now known as jenistin | ||
| dm-madman | Um_cara_qualquer: are you fuckin with me | 01:36 |
| Um_cara_qualquer | ... | 01:36 |
| Um_cara_qualquer | go f*** yourself | 01:37 |
| cornet | TTNK: ok you need to add those options to the kernel boot line | 01:37 |
| monte | i need help. i minimize my windows and at the bottom they disappear? | 01:37 |
| monte | on the bottom bar | 01:37 |
| jordo2323 | I am trying to write to a mounted vfat but can't as root or as my user. I have tried every set of vfat fstab options there are. Any ideas? | 01:37 |
| sebsebseb | !language | dm-madman | 01:37 |
| ubottu | dm-madman: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 01:37 |
| TTNK | cornet i dont know how to do it, can you tell me please how? | 01:37 |
| dm-madman | Um_cara_qualquer: the command you ran will format it, is formatting it, or was formatting it when you took the screenshot :p | 01:37 |
| jenistin | losher: I have debug output now if you're around | 01:38 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: ok in your first pastebin, those aren't Ubuntu partitions, they are Linux kernels | 01:38 |
| dm-madman | yeah, sorry | 01:38 |
| monte | i need help. i minimize my windows and at the bottom they disappear? | 01:38 |
| TTNK | monte maybe you dont have a bottom bar to hold them | 01:38 |
| cornet | TTNK: Take a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions about 1/2 way down the page, you want the section entitled "Change Boot Options Temporarily For An Existing Installation" | 01:38 |
| pitput | sebsebseb, hmm. so I should change the chainloader to +4? | 01:38 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: can you do a screenshot of gparted? sudo apt-get install gparted if you haven't already installed it | 01:39 |
| cornet | TTNK: a bit further down it'll also tell you how to change them perminantly | 01:39 |
| TTNK | is that the acpi thing? | 01:39 |
| monte | ttnk: i do link i see my applications and places and stuff but if not how do i add it again | 01:39 |
| djanatyn_ | I tried Windows, and they said to just delete the xubuntu partition and WinXP would boot just fine with GRUB. is that okay? (just checking-don't want to nuke my computer ;) | 01:39 |
| TTNK | cornet great, let me read it :Dthanks a lot | 01:39 |
| cornet | TTNK: np - hope you get it fixed :) | 01:39 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: and no you don't change the chainloader | 01:40 |
| monte | TTNK: i do link i see my applications and places and stuff but if not how do i add it again | 01:40 |
| djanatyn_ | wow, ##windows is pretty pro-linux O_o | 01:40 |
| TTNK | monte are you using gnome or kde? | 01:40 |
| TTNK | djanatyn_ or maybe they are pro-dontwanttomesswithmbr hehehehe | 01:41 |
| netskillsii | <netskillsii> hello, can anyone recommend a wireless pcmcia card that supports monitor mode on debian lenny. I am currently trying to use kismet to perform packet capture but need this type of device. | 01:41 |
| pitput | sebsebseb, http://yfrog.com/0escreenshotcwp | 01:41 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: I think I know what the problem might be, but please get me a screenshot of gparted so I can confirm if I am right or not, and tell you which partition is what | 01:41 |
| monte | TTNK: i cant remember how do i find out i believe gnome | 01:41 |
| monte | TTNK: it is gnome | 01:41 |
| rouser | i know you probably get this all the time, but can someone point me to a site or something that shows how to put flash into x64 jaunty? | 01:41 |
| shane2peru | will gnome ever get a dual panel file manager? I know of gnome-commander, and the others, but they don't allow picture previews. | 01:41 |
| h00k | when Ubuntu logs in and automatically decrypts my /home partition, is that just looking to wherever /home is? For instance, if I move /home to a different partition, is this going to cause problems? | 01:42 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: Why do you want to dual boot with Vista version 2 by the way? | 01:42 |
| shane2peru | Dolphin offers dual panel, Thunar offer's dual panel, Nautilus is severely lacking in this area | 01:42 |
| pitput | sebsebseb, some software don't run as well on ubuntu as it does on windows | 01:42 |
| h00k | shane2peru: do you mean tabbed interface? | 01:42 |
| shane2peru | or is Dolphin tabbed | 01:42 |
| cornet | monte: i think you've probably accidently removed the window list addition from the panel. Right click on the panel, select "Add to Panel" and find the "Window List" item | 01:43 |
| pitput | sebsebseb, so by having windows and ubuntu, I have open options | 01:43 |
| shane2peru | h00k: dual panel is better, but tabbed would be a step forward. | 01:43 |
| h00k | shane2peru: Nautilus does do tabs | 01:43 |
| jrib | rouser: visit some flash site that doesn't try to be smart and detect flash itself (badgerbadgerbadger.com works) and click on teh yellow bar at the top of firefox | 01:43 |
| TTNK | monte ok then its pretty ease, just right click on the upper bar and select the new panel option, that should add one panel, then just drag it if it isnt at the bottom or right click on it and at properties select bottom | 01:43 |
| shane2peru | h00k: it does! :) How? | 01:43 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: software such as? you sure you can't Wine it and have it working properly enough for you in that? or virtual machine Windows for it, with enough RAM? | 01:43 |
| h00k | shane2peru: ctrl+t! | 01:43 |
| djanatyn_ | Great. Now ##windows says they don't know. | 01:44 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: or use native alternatives :) | 01:44 |
| cornet | /last djanatyn_ | 01:44 |
| cornet | oops | 01:44 |
| shane2peru | h00k: ahh, found it, ok | 01:44 |
| h00k | shane2peru: :) | 01:44 |
| shane2peru | h00k: that is at least a step in the right direction, thanks for that tip | 01:44 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: oh kind of interesting you done Ext4 for 9.04, not had any problems with that? | 01:44 |
| h00k | shane2peru: no problem ;) | 01:44 |
| pitput | sebsebseb, I want to run imgburn but it doesn't do well under Wine. My pc has 1 gb of ram so I can't VM windows, otherwise I would have done that ages ago | 01:44 |
| netskillsii | hello, can anyone recommend a wireless pcmcia card that supports monitor mode on ubuntu. I am currently trying to use kismet to perform packet capture but need this type of device. | 01:45 |
| shane2peru | h00k: I'm too much of a Gnome user to switch, but would love to see Nautilus upgrade to twin panels as an option. | 01:45 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: you can VM xp with 1GB RAM, but I think you can also do Vista version 2 | 01:45 |
| h00k | shane2peru: I'm not sure what you mean by panels | 01:45 |
| TTNK | djanatyn_ you will have to use your win install cd to fix mbr after you uninstall ubuntu, or use super grub to help you boot to your windows | 01:45 |
| pitput | sebsebseb, ext4 has way faster boot times and it's very smooth operations. Definitely stable. | 01:45 |
| shane2peru | h00k: where you can see both 'tabs' | 01:45 |
| h00k | shane2peru: oh, at the same time | 01:45 |
| h00k | shane2peru: yeah, not sure on tha tone | 01:45 |
| shane2peru | h00k: two panes | 01:46 |
| pitput | sebsebseb, I think I can VM windows, but I think my fan would burn up | 01:46 |
| cornet | djanatyn_: i can tell you how to fix this - /msg ok ? | 01:46 |
| shane2peru | h00k: well at any rate I can work with both tabs at least | 01:46 |
| djanatyn_ | okay | 01:46 |
| shane2peru | h00k: thanks | 01:46 |
| h00k | shane2peru: no prob. | 01:46 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: yes I know about the faster boot time, since I used to use it on this computer in 9.04, before putting karmic alpha4 on, and the other computer has 9.04 with Ext4, however some might get a lockup issue when deleting big files in 9.04. it's still a little hmm since the kernel they have, but many people should clean install I think when 9.10 comes out for ful Ext4 support. and since the Ext3 to Ext4 conversion hmm. anyway | 01:46 |
| sebsebseb | back to your issue | 01:46 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: your fan would burn up what? | 01:47 |
| kermit | my battery ran out and on the next boot everything was firewalled out and some units switched from English to metric.. is this a known bug or should i report it? | 01:47 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: your first hard disk is Windows, unless it's that other NTFS partition why you got that? | 01:47 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: hard disk I meant partition | 01:47 |
| h00k | when Ubuntu logs in and automatically decrypts my /home partition, is that just looking to wherever /home is? For instance, if I move /home to a different partition (its own), is this going to cause problems? | 01:47 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: Grub starts on 0 the first hard disk and the first partition is 0 | 01:48 |
| h00k | greetings, Paddy_NI | 01:48 |
| pitput | sebsebseb, I think that came out wrong. I meant the ventilation area would get 2-3 times hotter if I were to VM windows. That happened when I VMed ubuntu on windows back then. | 01:48 |
| atlantis | Did Ubuntu get a more "serious-business" theme for 9.10? I heard talk.... | 01:48 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: and so you should be able to just use the Windows example in menu.lst hd 0,0 | 01:48 |
| sebsebseb | atlantis: don't think it will have that | 01:49 |
| pitput | sebsebseb, the other NTFS is to store all my pictures, documents, etc if I were ever to reformat windows or linux. | 01:49 |
| hittingpilot | hello i'm having trouble dual booting windows 7 and linuxx | 01:49 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: well a lot of people do a seperate /home instead of that kind of thing | 01:49 |
| losher | atlantis: you can discuss 9.10 on #ubuntu+1 | 01:49 |
| atlantis | Loose Windows 7, problem solved. | 01:49 |
| sebsebseb | hittingpilot: hmm your another oen | 01:49 |
| netskillsii | hittingpilot - what is the problem | 01:50 |
| hittingpilot | atlantis + sebsebseb: i just installed 9.04 and lost 7 | 01:50 |
| pitput | sebsebseb, hd0,0 would definitely not work. I tried that 2 times already | 01:50 |
| sebsebseb | hittingpilot: :D | 01:50 |
| atlantis | Did you over write the partition or just loose access | 01:50 |
| pitput | sebsebseb, Well, I started with Windows and that's how I always had it. I guess old habits die hard. | 01:50 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: ok did you try hd0,1 ? | 01:51 |
| giiker | need help with a hardware problem | 01:51 |
| hittingpilot | netskillsii: listed problem, lost 7 due to grub | 01:51 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: if you got a hidden partition of some sort of on there, that could be why hd0,0 won't work | 01:51 |
| adalal | matthewbpt: hey dude | 01:51 |
| atlantis | reboot from disc and repair boot loader | 01:51 |
| hittingpilot | netskillsii: windows boot loader will not run from grub | 01:51 |
| pitput | sebsebseb, hd0,1 also makes it unusable. | 01:51 |
| losher | h00k: what are you using to encrypt/decrypt? | 01:51 |
| matthewbpt | adalal: hey | 01:52 |
| blackjack | hi | 01:52 |
| pitput | sebsebseb, I don't have hidden partitions from the screenshot, did I? | 01:52 |
| h00k | losher: er, the kernel does it, afaik | 01:52 |
| netskillsii | hittingpilot - Is your grub configuration correct, have you checked your file | 01:52 |
| giiker | I founf a wireless acces point. but when powered on, nothing lits up. so I opened it up. I found PCMCIA card inside plus a CF card. | 01:52 |
| h00k | losher: encrypted home partition (which is just a folder at the moment) | 01:52 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: well seems your not the only one to be having an issu with trying to dual boot Windows 7, to be honest it woudn't suprise me if Microsoft did something so Grub coudn't just boot it up | 01:52 |
| AspergersWorld | Hi everybody. | 01:52 |
| h00k | !hi | AspergersWorld | 01:52 |
| ubottu | AspergersWorld: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 01:52 |
| giiker | then trying to find a cause for its dead, on a little heat sink, i saw some part on the top brownish | 01:53 |
| hittingpilot | nestkillsii: the partition is the correct one, but when i select it on the list i receive a BSOD | 01:53 |
| pitput | sebsebseb, yeah, I should reinstall my windows XP for now. | 01:53 |
| losher | h00k: it's not truecrypt? I only ask so I could read up on it a bit... | 01:53 |
| atlantis | nah, I have 7 on my laptop with 9.04 and it boots fine. just the smarter os/boot loader after. 7 first then the newest. | 01:53 |
| hermitcrabred | ...I hate to ask again but I just can`t figure out the md5sum...I went everywhere on the Web but it is inconsistent, confused...:( | 01:53 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: or maybe atlantis can help you | 01:53 |
| h00k | losher: no, its an option on install (its actually Karmic, but the alternative installer for Jaunty also had this option) | 01:53 |
| pitput | sebsebseb, so when i reinstall, do I just install over windows 7 and then fix grub all over again? | 01:53 |
| t0s | im about to reinstall ubuntu, and i have alot files and movies on here i would to keep, how would i do this then recover my files after the installation is done? | 01:53 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: ,but you should be able to use the Windows example in menu.lst really | 01:53 |
| giiker | will excessive heat make this signs. I heard it happens with regular processor's heatsinks. | 01:53 |
| h00k | sebsebseb, pitput: from my experience, Windows7 has a nasty habit of marking all other partitions as not-bootable | 01:54 |
| n8tuser | t0s -> are they stored under your user home directories? | 01:54 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: Why not vm XP in Ubuntu? | 01:54 |
| pitput | atlantis, can I make if boot if I installed ubuntu first then windows 7? | 01:54 |
| h00k | sebsebseb, pitput: if you boot from a live-cd, mark your partition that Grub is on as bootable, restart, give that a shot. | 01:54 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: the fan hmm? | 01:54 |
| atlantis | no | 01:54 |
| t0s | n8tuser, yeah | 01:54 |
| netskillsii | hittingpilot - Try booting from windows 7 cd and perform a repair on the mbr and fix your boot. Have you tried this? | 01:54 |
| atlantis | well, not that I'm aware of anyways. | 01:54 |
| atlantis | windows and linux,...... windows always gets installed first. | 01:54 |
| n8tuser | t0s -> and /home is a separate partition? | 01:54 |
| sebsebseb | atlantis: well Grub can be put on after | 01:55 |
| losher | h00k: if it works on a folder basis (as opposed to per-filesystem) then it shouldn't matter if you move it and mount it from elsewhere. I'd be worried about the order in which stuff happens though e.g. mount before decrypt. I suggest you ask on #ubuntu+1 where they specifically discuss Karmic... | 01:55 |
| sebsebseb | atlantis: Windows has gone over it | 01:55 |
| atlantis | I'm sure if you search online you may beable to find a work around. | 01:55 |
| pitput | sebsebseb, XP in ubuntu is good? I would lose all my settings though after each loadup right? | 01:55 |
| hittingpilot | netskillsii: yes it wants to kill everything else on my raid array | 01:55 |
| thelyfe21 | Anyone know anything about getting a webcam/camera to work with skype and kino? | 01:55 |
| h00k | losher: that is what I was thinking as far as both of your points. | 01:55 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: not if you install into a virtual machine | 01:55 |
| h00k | losher: heading there. | 01:55 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: then it will have your settings in the virtual machine | 01:55 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: since that's a virtual hard disk | 01:55 |
| * kd8JHC runs xp, 2000, vista, and 7 in virtualbox | 01:55 | |
| kd8JHC | love it | 01:56 |
| atlantis | like I said before, I think just re-inserting the linux disc and repairing the boot loader may work. I don't know his exact problem. I'm not a pro, just been throught it alot. | 01:56 |
| sebsebseb | !love > kd8JHC | 01:56 |
| ubottu | kd8JHC, please see my private message | 01:56 |
| thelyfe21 | Can anyone help with with a webcam problem? Lol. | 01:56 |
| kd8JHC | ty sebsebseb :) | 01:56 |
| sebsebseb | kd8JHC: heh | 01:56 |
| losher | h00k: still there? | 01:56 |
| t0s | n8tuser, im not sure im new to ubuntu :/, in gparted i have ext3 extended and linux-swap | 01:56 |
| kd8JHC | thelyfe21: ask your question | 01:56 |
| kd8JHC | if someone knows, we'll answer | 01:57 |
| atlantis | I'd get out ye-old hard drive or a stack of dvds and backup then wipe the main drive and reinstall. | 01:57 |
| h00k | losher: yep | 01:57 |
| h00k | losher: just highlight me | 01:57 |
| pitput | sebsebseb, h00k , atlantis : thank you guys for all your help! I appreciate it. | 01:57 |
| h00k | pitput: good luck! | 01:58 |
| sebsebseb | kd8JHC: yep that's the way to do it really, Windows as the guest in a virtual machine, or not at all :D unfortunatly sometimes people have a valid enough reason to have Windows as host still hmm, but that's on the verge of changing :) | 01:58 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: hmm so what you going to do? | 01:58 |
| n8tuser | t0s -> well find another backup hd to store you files temporarily and then re-install | 01:58 |
| netskillsii | how about if you try running the command prompt when booting from Windows 7 and typing the bootrec.exe /fixmbr and bootrec.exe /fixboot this should help you. Of course you will need to rebuild your grub after this... | 01:58 |
| pitput | sebsebseb, *sigh. reinstalling XP. I really don't think my computer can VM windows with 1 gb ram and have it run smoothly | 01:58 |
| kd8JHC | sebsebseb: yeah, it works beautifully, however there are some hardware functions that won't work in the vms... but everything else, including all networking works great | 01:59 |
| bcurtiswx | hey, maybe someone knows what I should do. I am planning on selling my laptop and I would like to install jaunty for them but leave it so they can set up the user accounts themselves.. is there a way to do this? | 01:59 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: well mine can and yep 1GB RAM | 01:59 |
| sebsebseb | kd8JHC: yeah and 3D Windows gaming for example, but that's getting there in Wine and virtualization | 01:59 |
| cornet | bcurtiswx: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ubuntu_OEM_Installer_Overview | 01:59 |
| kd8JHC | bcurtiswx: there is an installation option to do that | 01:59 |
| kd8JHC | yeah, OEM installer | 01:59 |
| atlantis | just make a guest account with autologon and let them set the rest.... | 01:59 |
| netskillsii | hittingpilot - how about if you try running the command prompt when booting from Windows 7 and typing the bootrec.exe /fixmbr and bootrec.exe /fixboot this should help you. Of course you will need to rebuild your grub after this... | 02:00 |
| pitput | sebsebseb, how would I install programs in virtual machine..? that just seems weird | 02:00 |
| losher | h00k: I'm thinking that you could copy /home to the new partition, then rename the existing /home to /home.orig, then mkdir a new /home directory and add an fstab entry to mount the new partition onto it. Then, if something doesn't work, just undo the rename you're exactly back to where you started. Minimal risk of data loss... | 02:00 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: Virtualbox runs real Windows inside another OS or even the same OS if people do it with Windows as host | 02:00 |
| MagnoFlux | i have a file with a .sh extension - what do i need to run it | 02:00 |
| hittingpilot | netskillsii: thanks a lot, i'll try that | 02:00 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: then you can switch between the guest VM Windows and the host Ubuntu for example | 02:00 |
| jenistin | Anyone want to help me with an SSH problem? The client stops responding before the key exchange. | 02:00 |
| kd8JHC | sebsebseb - no games here. lol. Seamless mode is where it's at! | 02:00 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: and you install programs in the Windows vm, like you would in a psyical install | 02:00 |
| s_t_c | hi all :) | 02:00 |
| h00k | losher: yeah, i could also keep a backup of /home on my thumbdrive, not much is there (mostly settings) | 02:01 |
| pitput | sebsebseb, can I drag files out of the VM onto linux (the host) | 02:01 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: not sure | 02:01 |
| losher | jenistin: bummer, still not solved then? | 02:01 |
| pitput | sebsebseb, that sounds so much easier. I should try it right now. | 02:01 |
| dm-madman | jenistin: sure, paste the output from ssh -v whoever@whatever | 02:01 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: ,but I think you can copy in text from the host into the vm | 02:01 |
| kd8JHC | pitput: you can set up shared folders accessible to the host and VMs | 02:01 |
| jenistin | losher: nope, but I got server debug today | 02:01 |
| kd8JHC | and yes you can copy+paste across VMs and to the host | 02:01 |
| jenistin | dm-madman: I don't have output since the client is Putty on WinXP | 02:01 |
| losher | jenistin: I'd like to see the server debug trace if possible... | 02:02 |
| pitput | kd8JHC, does I have to set up shared folders or can I just drag and d?rop onto linux? what about using a usb? is that okay | 02:02 |
| dm-madman | jenistin: oh well, the problem is probably in the ms tcp stack or something anyway | 02:02 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: you will need for example the closed source version of Virtualbox from http://www.virtualbox.org if you want USB support | 02:02 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: the open source doesn't have USB support, and both are free as in price | 02:02 |
| mackjr | Hey can anyone here help me with installing blueman? every time i try it uninstalls bluez-gnome and then says that its required, and vice versa | 02:02 |
| pitput | sebsebseb, hmm | 02:03 |
| meoblast001 | hi, i configured CUPS to accept administration on port 631 over the web | 02:03 |
| cornet | jas8522: | 02:03 |
| meoblast001 | and i get 403 forbidden | 02:03 |
| MagnoFlux | how can i run a .sh file extension on ubuntu | 02:03 |
| pitput | sebsebseb, the closed source is still free right? | 02:03 |
| jas8522 | cornet: ? | 02:03 |
| cornet | jenistin: there is an option somewhere in putty to turn on debug logging | 02:03 |
| dm-madman | jenistin: try using openssh on windows and see if you get the same result | 02:03 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: and instead of having loads of space wasted by Windows, you can do a dynamically expanding virtual hard disk :) which can grow to the size you put, as long as you have enough space in the partition it's in | 02:03 |
| jas8522 | cornet: accident I assume? | 02:03 |
| jenistin | losher: the debug is at http://pastebin.com/f48ea52fe | 02:03 |
| cornet | jas8522: sorry tab completion flail | 02:03 |
| jas8522 | cornet: haha thought so | 02:03 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: yep get it for Linux hosts from the site, and as I said still free as in price | 02:03 |

| jenistin | dm-madman: It's the employer computer, I can't use cygwin. I tried with FileZilla and Aptana as well | 02:04 |
| kd8JHC | pitput just install virtualbox and play with it. the beauty of VMs--if you screw up, delete the VM and start over :) | 02:04 |
| jenistin | dm-madman: Putty can connect to other hosts however | 02:04 |
| unperson | I'm trying to browse the web from a network where port 80 is blocked on my Ubuntu (jaunty) laptop. Any good suggestions on how I might do that? So far my top idea was to ssh to my home desktop, install a proxy server, and go through that. | 02:04 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: yep and your virtual hard disk, gets treated like a normal file in Ubuntu, except for it being in the hidden .virtualbox folder by default | 02:04 |
| jenistin | cornet: For some reason the logging option didn't produce anything for me | 02:04 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: so you can copy it easilly, delete it, etc | 02:04 |
| dm-madman | jenistin: so your problem is on the server? | 02:05 |

For (unofficial) repositories containing OpenOffice.org 3, see https://launchpad.net/~openoffice-pkgs/+archive/ppa. User help available in #openoffice.org. | 02:05 |
| jenistin | dm-madman: Other clients can connect to the server, other putty clients even | 02:05 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: also on a psyical install XP takes about 20 to 40 minutes to install, well in Virtualbox it is pretty quick to install | 02:05 |
| dm-madman | ubottu: your resposes are so verbose, they could be considered spam :p | 02:05 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 02:05 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: about 10 minutes and you will have a working vm | 02:05 |
| unperson | If my solution is a decent one, can anyone suggest a proxy server I can apt-get from the repos that's simple to setup? I have no experience with proxies. | 02:05 |
| pitput | sebsebseb, okay. so I install virtualbox? What about VM ware? How's that virtualization program? | 02:05 |
| dm-madman | wasn't hoping for intelligence, but maybe logging | 02:05 |
| sebsebseb | !bot | dm-madman | 02:05 |

| netskillsii | hello, can anyone recommend a wireless pcmcia card that supports monitor mode on ubuntu. I am currently trying to use kismet to perform packet capture but need this type of device. | 02:06 |
| kd8JHC | vmware NO virutalbox YES | 02:06 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: also Virtualbox can even use VMware virtual hard disks, VMDK's without their silly vmx config file | 02:06 |
| cornet | jenistin: your host key is blacklisted i think | 02:06 |
| cornet | jenistin: but that thread says they solved the same problem anyway :) | 02:06 |
| * kd8JHC afk biab | 02:06 | |
| sebsebseb | pitput: when I say for home usage, I mean Virtualbox is way better than VMware player or server, which are there two free as in price ones | 02:07 |
| jenistin | cornet: thanks for the link | 02:07 |
| dm-madman | sebsebseb: i know it's a bot, maybe you know the command to tell it to be a little less verbose with its responses | 02:07 |
| pitput | sebsebseb, that sounds good! I'm going to install virtualbox! | 02:07 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: Home users are unlikely to pay for VMware products, but companies will, that want to do virtualization servers and such | 02:07 |
| mini | how can I get cron-apt to run with proper permissions without messing with apt's permissions? (i.e. I guess I want apt-get upgrades to not require root as long as --download-only is being passed in?) | 02:07 |
| losher | jenistin: pretty much confirms what we already knew. The server sees the client's protocol string & sends a protocol string and a key exchange init message, at which point the client appears to close the tcp connection. Cornet's comments are interesting... | 02:07 |
| jenistin | cornet: wouldn't the host be blacklisted in only one client, not all 3? | 02:07 |
| pitput | sebsebseb, sudo apt-get install virtualbox? | 02:08 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: when it comes to making the virtual hard disk, put dynamically expanding and I would like 60GB for XP | 02:08 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: no | 02:08 |
| cornet | jenistin: they host key of the client, not the server | 02:08 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: well you want USB support right? | 02:08 |
| pitput | sebsebseb, yeah, I want USB support | 02:08 |
| mackjr1 | has anyone tried itunes 9 with wine yet? | 02:08 |
| jenistin | cornet: oh, why would the client be blacklisted? it's on password auth | 02:08 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: ok in the Ubuntu repo there's the open source version which lacks USB support, so get the other one from their site like I already said | 02:09 |
| s_t_c | to all:i have hardy lts 64bit edition,kernel 2.6.24-24-generic and when i leave computer on for long period of time(2h) my usb keyboard and mouse switch off and i can't switch them back on even if i re-plug them. | 02:09 |
| bcurtiswx | The ubuntu OEM installer is just on the DVD right? | 02:09 |
| pitput | sebsebseb, I don't think I have around 60 gb to spare for XP. My entire hdd is 120 gb | 02:09 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: yes | 02:09 |
| dm-madman | jenistin: sshd should log something about why it closes out the connection | 02:09 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: well I don't have 2TB, but if I really want to I can put 2TB for an XP VM as long as I do dynamically expanding | 02:09 |
| === ctmjr_ is now known as ctmjr | ||
| sebsebseb | pitput: basically when you do dyanically expanding it's the size the vm thinks it has | 02:09 |
| cornet | jenistin: the server and client does a key exchange of their own before asking for the user authentication | 02:09 |
| dm-madman | jenistin: maybe it's a hostkey change or something | 02:09 |
| Mokesnap | how do i move a program for example "mpg123" to the background so i can continue using terminal while it runs | 02:09 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: and the size the vm can grow up to on the psyical partition, as long as you have enough space | 02:10 |
| cornet | jenistin: you know when you login for the first time it asks you if you want to trust the host ? | 02:10 |
| dm-madman | jenistin: it's not like guessing will accomplish much...get some logs... | 02:10 |
| jenistin | dm-madman: the debug says connection timed out | 02:10 |
| bastid_raZor | Mokesnap: start the program like this mpg123 & | 02:10 |
| jenistin | cornet: yes, I'm following | 02:10 |
| dm-madman | jenistin: sounds like you're not even getting connected | 02:10 |
| Mokesnap | ok i will try thank you | 02:11 |
| jenistin | dm-madman: netstat shows there's a tcp established | 02:11 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: the other option fixed storage, will actsaully make a virtual hard disk file, that is the size you put, so not usaully a good idea | 02:11 |
| cornet | jenistin: well the server implicitally allows all clients by default. what's happened is that the client key is blacklisted due to a vulnrability in the openssl encryption layer a few months ago | 02:11 |
| dm-madman | jenistin: on the server? | 02:11 |
| jenistin | dm-madman: yes | 02:11 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: that's the only thing, the other stuff is rather straight forward | 02:11 |
| jenistin | cornet: I see | 02:11 |
| pitput | sebsebseb, Okay. I'll opt for dynamic and see what happens. Would I need to delete the windows 7 partition first? | 02:11 |
| djbpython | I am new to Ubuntu, I have installed 9.04 and apache2, how can I tell if apache2 is a daemon? | 02:11 |
| cornet | jenistin: there was a patch integrated with the ssh server on debian and ubuntu to block these host keys | 02:11 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: no | 02:11 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: your installing in Ubuntu yes? | 02:12 |
| dm-madman | jenistin: certainly sounds like a problem with windows to me, then | 02:12 |
| jenistin | cornet: Something interesting, I just tried it with sshd -dd and now the output says network child is on pid xxx | 02:12 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: install it in Ubuntu and by default the virtualbox virtual hard disk and that will go in the hidden .virtualbox in Home, which will be crated when you do it | 02:12 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: you know about the .folders right? | 02:13 |
| dm-madman | jenistin: you really should get some debugging info on the client end. get the logging turned on in putty or use openssh | 02:13 |
| leaf-sheep | djbpython: Install htop -- It'll tell you lot of things about your processes. Use that to search for "apache" | 02:13 |
| meoblast001 | can someone help me set up administration with my server's CUPS from my desktop? | 02:13 |
| pitput | sebsebseb, yeah, installing in ubuntu | 02:13 |
| Evelina | How do I recieve the URL behind a URL shortening service? | 02:13 |
| jenistin | cornet: So if the client is blocked, why does the connection stop after the server has sent the init for key exchange? | 02:13 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: from http://www.virtualbox.org for Linux hosts? | 02:13 |
| pitput | sebsebseb, I don't know about the .folders | 02:13 |
| cornet | jenistin: check out auth.log on the server | 02:13 |
| cornet | jenistin: see what it says | 02:14 |
| jenistin | dm-madman: putty doesn't log for some reason, and I can't try OpenSSH because it's an employer's locked-down PC | 02:14 |
| leaf-sheep | djbpython: That's a terminal app by the way. So "sudo aptitude install htop" and run "htop" in the terminal (maximized for better viewing). | 02:14 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: yeah I thought you might not of, it seems to me that the people that come here, that do Windows 7, and mention doing it with some issue, are usaully also pretty new to Ubuntu | 02:14 |
| pitput | sebsebseb, just to make sure. I choose the first one i386 right? | 02:14 |
| dm-madman | jenistin: maybe it's locked down with some kind of stupid restrictive firewall too | 02:14 |
| losher | cornet: jenistin: interesting blacklist theory, is there any debug to back that theory up? | 02:15 |
| dm-madman | jenistin: of course you said you can ssh to anywhere else | 02:15 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: Well are you on 32bit or 64bit? you would probably know if you got 64bit and had put 64bit Ubuntu on | 02:15 |
| dm-madman | jenistin: and also from anywhere else.. | 02:15 |
| pitput | 32bit | 02:15 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: yep i386 then | 02:15 |
| jenistin | dm-madman: correct | 02:15 |
| bdpa | hello | 02:15 |
| pitput | sebsebseb, 8 minutes to download. lol | 02:15 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: ok the hidden .folders in home, this I consider as being Linux basics | 02:16 |
| dm-madman | jenistin: which really just makes it strange enough to need logs even more | 02:16 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: pretty fast connection? well the file isn't that big | 02:16 |
| bdpa | I recently installed ubuntu over windows | 02:16 |
| jenistin | dm-madman: losher: cornet: so, I have my work computer on a bat file to try connecting every 40'ish minutes, and now it has successfully established a connection | 02:16 |
| judgen | What is the default resolution of the cli? | 02:16 |
| pitput | sebsebseb, my connection sucks. is it ctrl +h for hidden folders? | 02:16 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: basically a program messes up, move/delete it's hidden .folder normalley | 02:16 |
| bdpa | hello? | 02:16 |
| dm-madman | jenistin: so the server is basically saying (got a connection..........it timed out) | 02:16 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: .mozilla for example is Firefox and your bookmarks or whatever | 02:16 |
| djbpython | how can i tell if apache2 is being run at start up? | 02:16 |
| outofrange1 | How do I set Sound Recorder to record from line input? I have a tape player hooked to line in and I can hear it but Sound Recorder is only recording from the mic on my USB camera. | 02:17 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: yep ctrl h I think, I do it from the menu | 02:17 |
| s_t_c | any hint? | 02:17 |
| jenistin | dm-madman: losher: cornet: the only thing different about my current sshd is the first time on this bat loop was "sshd -d" and now it is "sshd -dd" | 02:17 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: so when you install a program in Linux usaully that's it, you don't need to re install it | 02:17 |
| jiohdi3 | my GIMP just stopped working... any ideas? | 02:17 |
| cornet | jenistin: no idea then | 02:17 |

| dm-madman | jenistin: "bat loop" ? | 02:18 |
| jiohdi3 | I have no idea why... but gimp will not start | 02:18 |
| jiohdi3 | anyone? | 02:18 |

| nickolaus | How do you search for images in ubuntu. I don't know the name but I'm missing a folder full of wall papers. I was able to do it in window. Just search for images but I can't seem to do the name in ubuntu | 02:18 |
| se1 | i can't upgrade to jaunty using the update manager | 02:18 |
| losher | dm-madman: bat-loop a windows shell script which loops | 02:18 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: .Wine for Wine stuff, .virtualbox for the virtual hard disk, which won't be removed if you remove the entry for it in virtualbox. get the idea? | 02:18 |
| jenistin | losher: I'll pastebin the current debug output, but I'm not at work to authenticate | 02:19 |
| gmaculo | does objC have a linked list of NSObject class already? | 02:19 |
| dm-madman | okie dokie | 02:19 |
| jenistin | dm-madman: DOS bat file with a loop inside to run putty | 02:19 |
| dm-madman | yeah, i get it | 02:19 |
| pitput | sebsebseb, one off topic question. Why do people say it's bad to compile or whatever like using ./make, /install, etc | 02:19 |
| dm-madman | never heard that term before | 02:19 |
| pitput | sebsebseb, it's much clearer to me now than before you explained it | 02:19 |
| losher | dm-madman: very off-topic, but bat files are windows shell scripts. Short for BATch... | 02:20 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: it's not bad, it's just dependancies, well that's quite easy to solve in Ubuntu now, can't remember how, and well most programs that you want to run in Linux you can get from the repo anyway | 02:20 |
| dm-madman | something like ":TOP\n%1 %2 %3 %4 %5\nGOTO TOP" | 02:20 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: also that wasn't off topic by the way | 02:20 |
| calmbola | can anyone tell me how to get linux drivers for logitech mice? | 02:20 |
| dm-madman | if i remember batch writing at all | 02:20 |

| sebsebseb | pitput: normalley it's best to get programs from the repo, or ppa's | 02:22 |
| cornet | jenistin: humm i'm wondering if this is a firewall problem thn | 02:22 |
| jenistin | cornet: the auth.log doesn't show any problem with checking the key | 02:22 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: ppa for later versions of many programs, but ppa's can also cause problems sometimes maybe | 02:22 |
| kd8JHC | neonfix: we dont do karmic here | 02:22 |
| kd8JHC | #ubuntu+1 | 02:23 |
| neonflx | kd8JHC: thx | 02:23 |
| cornet | jenistin: i wonder if the server can't send data back to the client's non-priv port | 02:23 |
| pitput | sebsebseb, yeah, ppa can sometimes cause problems like my music player exaile | 02:23 |
| losher | jenistin: I'm not convinced you got any further. Basically the client stops responding & the tcp connection on the server times out. It's just took a bit longer this time. You still don't seem to have gotten a reply to the server's KEXINIT... | 02:23 |

| sebsebseb | pitput: the USB support, can be a bit annoying in VIrtualbox, because of how it needs to be set up | 02:24 |
| jenistin | losher: the client receives that the server is OpenSSH debian etc. | 02:24 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: ,but they also have a good manual on the website, and there's also #vbox | 02:24 |
| jenistin | cornet: the client receives that the server is OpenSSH debian etc. | 02:24 |
| kd8JHC | neonfix: np | 02:24 |
| pitput | sebsebseb, ah, that would be a great resource | 02:24 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: which? | 02:25 |
| jenistin | losher: At least I feel like I got further :P | 02:25 |
| losher | jenistin: you know that from the client debug log? That kills our firewall preventing packets going from server-to-client theory... | 02:25 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: you can download the manual yeah | 02:25 |
| pitput | sebsebseb, both actually. | 02:25 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: maybe, maybe not, depending on how computer literate you are | 02:25 |

| testing_ubi | hi | 02:28 |

| fantazam | i have windows installed on other gaming comp never had virus either,no anti virus software can protect against stupid users ;) | 02:28 |
| Keelan | i swear, ubuntu saw me coming with ndis-wrapper and refused to install | 02:28 |
| losher | jenistin: I think you have a fault putty. Can you reinstall it, or better yet, install a different version? | 02:28 |
| pitput | sebsebseb, installed the .deb but I can't find where Virtualbox is | 02:29 |
| sebsebseb | fantazam: heh | 02:29 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: ah yes this | 02:29 |
| Keelan | sebsebseb: I couldn't get ubuntu to install next to windows, so i might try 8.10 because i know it will install | 02:29 |
| Keelan | but i was using 9.04 | 02:29 |
| jenistin | losher: I don't think putty has made a new version in years, and the two other clients on that computer (FileZilla and Aptana) have the same problem | 02:29 |
| sebsebseb | Keelan: wireless works in 8.10? | 02:29 |
| sebsebseb | Keelan: your one | 02:30 |

| sebsebseb | pitput: ok sometimes programs don't just add them selves to the menu | 02:30 |
| Keelan | well, it might work, i just never got it to before | 02:30 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: it will be under applications > system tools I think | 02:30 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: when you sort it out | 02:31 |
| Keelan | but i was having withdrawals from the internet so ill try again tomorrow | 02:31 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: if not there already | 02:31 |
| sebsebseb | Keelan: you coudn't install 9.04? | 02:31 |
| calmbola | soryr to ask again, but can anyone tell me how i can easily install a driver for a logitech mouse? | 02:31 |
| djbpython | how can I tell if apache2 is going to be run at start up | 02:31 |
| pitput | sebsebseb, it's not under applications >system tools | 02:31 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: re installing the package or logging out of Ubuntu and back in again, and it should appear in the menu | 02:31 |
| jrib | djbpython: if you install it, it will run at startup by default | 02:31 |
| losher | jenistin: I like dm-madman's suggestion. Install openssh for windows on the client... | 02:31 |

| Keelan | i was also having trouble getting the partitioner to work | 02:32 |
| jrib | djbpython: sysv-rc-conf | 02:32 |
| jenistin | losher: I would if I could. Unless you know of a way to run it off of a memory stick... | 02:32 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: on the graphical deb installer, it should say re install package | 02:32 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: and yes let it do the kernel modules agian | 02:32 |
| calmbola | jrib, but i do | 02:32 |
| calmbola | it's not working | 02:32 |
| jrib | calmbola: "not working"? It doesn't move AT ALL? | 02:33 |

| jrib | djbpython: I don't know what "sysv" is, but if you want to use sysv-rc-conf install it first | 02:33 |
| pitput | sebsebseb, I cleared the download list. Is there a way to go to the temporary folder that I downloaded in? | 02:33 |
| Gigs | Having problems with firefox consuming more and more CPU until it hangs completely... it's the default firefox with jaunty 3.0.13... all extensions disabled but the ubuntu one. | 02:33 |
| calmbola | er it does now | 02:33 |
| calmbola | great. | 02:33 |
| djbpython | jrib: you just told me to use it? | 02:33 |
| jrib | calmbola: jrib's magic touch | 02:33 |
| calmbola | lol thanks | 02:33 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: uhmm not sure where that is /home/tmp or something like that maybe | 02:33 |
| jrib | djbpython: no I didn't. I told you to use "sysv-rc-conf", not "sysv" | 02:33 |
| calmbola | what's the most suitable thing to use as a mousepad? | 02:33 |
| calmbola | apparently it didn't like the lass | 02:34 |
| mgv1 | where can i download a video editor? | 02:34 |
| calmbola | after you said it should work i used a book | 02:34 |
| jrib | calmbola: your desk :) | 02:34 |
| jrib | !software > mgv1 | 02:34 |
| ubottu | mgv1, please see my private message | 02:34 |
| dm-madman | jenistin: stick a usb switchblade in that thing and hack the admin password | 02:34 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: when you download stuff like that, it's better to download them to a proper folder, and then you can delete the deb/installer later if you want | 02:34 |
| pitput | sebsebseb, will keep that in mind from now on. | 02:34 |
| Keelan | anyway, im off for now guys, thanks for the help sebsebseb | 02:34 |
| losher | jenistin: sorry, dunno much about windows. Isn't there temp space available where you could put a program and run it? | 02:34 |
| calmbola | oh well, book it is | 02:34 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: log out and back in again, and it should be in your menu as I said before | 02:34 |
| calmbola | thanks again | 02:34 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: log out yes, not whole system re boot or anything like that | 02:35 |
| jenistin | dm-madman: that would violate policies ;) | 02:35 |
| mgv1 | where can i download a video editor? i have't found any in the add or remove programs ubottu | 02:35 |
| dm-madman | jenistin: i won't tell anyone | 02:35 |
| pitput | sebsebseb, okay. brb | 02:35 |
| fantazam | you can download kino or avidemux | 02:35 |
| losher | jenistin: *my* lips are sealed... | 02:35 |
| jenistin | losher: I'm not allowed to "install software" | 02:36 |
| losher | jenistin: it's not software. It's a debugging tool... | 02:36 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: it's there now? | 02:36 |
| pitput | sebsebseb, it's back! | 02:36 |
| djbpython | jrib: ok, programmatically, how can I check if something is run at startup? | 02:36 |
| mgv1 | fantazam: does it deals with .mov too? | 02:36 |
| jenistin | losher: lol, yeah, I'm sure they'll buy that | 02:36 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: programs can also be opended with their exact proccess names from the terminal and then hitting enter | 02:36 |
| xtiger | does anyone besides me have font size problems with firefox? my font sizes are really tiny | 02:36 |
| dm-madman | jenistin: boot it off a liveusb or something | 02:36 |
| jrib | djbpython: but I just told you.... What doesn't sysv-rc-conf do for you? | 02:37 |
| djbpython | an existence of a file or entry in a conf file somewhere? | 02:37 |
| djbpython | I just don't know where | 02:37 |
| dirtbag666 | Hey there! | 02:37 |
| jenistin | dm-madman: changing OS is also forbidden | 02:37 |
| cmuse | hi all | 02:37 |
| dirtbag666 | Little off-topic, but I did not find any answers anywhere else.... : I'm searching for a homepage I once found that provides "fake" surround sound for stereo speakers. It was just a few samples ("left front", "right rear" etc...) that played on click. Any ideas? | 02:37 |
| dm-madman | jenistin: you wouldn't change anything | 02:37 |
| jenistin | losher: Do you know if PHP can interface with SSH in some way? | 02:37 |
| losher | jenistin: it's not like we haven't tried a billion alternatives. Do you want this solved or not? | 02:37 |
| djbpython | jrib: it prints out a lot of fluff | 02:37 |
| fantazam | mgv: im not sure just download kino and avidemux i think they are fine | 02:37 |
| jrib | djbpython: read "man update-rc.d" if you seek a more difficult way... | 02:37 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: ok for the dynamically expanding vm put 60GB or 100GB or some such, that's the size I would do | 02:37 |
| dm-madman | jenistin: you'd just be choosing not to use the hard drive | 02:37 |
| pitput | sebsebseb, should I register or no? | 02:37 |
| jenistin | dm-madman: but running an OS other than the one installed is not allowed | 02:37 |
| Zehava | How can I look and see what ports are open from a terminal? | 02:37 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: yeah register, or it will probably come up again asking you to register | 02:38 |
| xtiger | jenistin: the ends justify the means | 02:38 |
| jrib | djbpython: runlevel 2 is the default run level on ubuntu, just check if apache2 has an * in runlevel 2... | 02:38 |
| dm-madman | jenistin: wow, where do you work | 02:38 |
| losher | jenistin: no idea on the PHP stuff... | 02:38 |
| djbpython | jrib: suppose I am writing a python script, it seems silly to have to run and parse the output of that command | 02:38 |
| xtiger | jenistin: can you use a windows live cd? that's not a different OS, right? | 02:38 |
| jrib | djbpython: why would you write such a thing...? | 02:39 |
| fantazam | mgv: download avidemux gtk ver. if you need video and audio converter download ffmpeg and winff | 02:39 |
| xtiger | jenistin: or use a live cd/usb of whatever exact OS you're using | 02:39 |
| djbpython | jrib: does it matter? | 02:39 |
| jenistin | xtiger: Interesting id, but I think that would be considered a different installation of it | 02:39 |
| xtiger | jenistin: it's absolutely not an installation | 02:39 |
| dm-madman | jenistin: tell the computer nazis there that your putty is broken then | 02:39 |
| jrib | djbpython: yes, because there's probably a better way to accomplish what you are trying to accomplish. In any case the man page tells you the details you would need | 02:39 |
| djbpython | let me ask another way. How do I and a script to be run at start up without using the gui? | 02:39 |
| djbpython | add | 02:39 |
| jrib | djbpython: sysv-rc-conf. | 02:39 |
| julie1 | hey all not used to IRC, so I hope it isn't rude to just pop in and ask a question... but today's firefox upgrade broke my Flash (I'm on 64-bit). wondering where to look and see if this is a known issue or if there's some kind of standard way to fix it... or how to undo upgrades? | 02:40 |
| jenistin | dm-madman: then they'll say stop using putty :P | 02:40 |
| jrib | !startup > djbpython | 02:40 |
| ubottu | djbpython, please see my private message | 02:40 |
| kd8JHC | julie1: it's a very common issue.. FF and Flash | 02:40 |
| xtiger | my font sizes in firefox are really, really tiny | 02:40 |
| losher | djbpython: or you can place a symbolic 'by hand' from the appropriate rc.X directory to a script in /etc/init.d, if you hav root permission | 02:40 |
| sebsebseb | julie1: yeah you just ask a question, there's even a factoid for this | 02:40 |
| Ben64 | julie1: it's actually encouraged to pop in and ask a question. Let me ask you one... what version flash? | 02:40 |
| sebsebseb | !ask | julie1 | 02:40 |
| ubottu | julie1: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 02:40 |
| dm-madman | jenistin: but it's the only terminal on your short list of approved software!!! | 02:41 |
| djbpython | losher: aha! | 02:41 |
| pitput | sebsebseb, so now I just press the new button and I should be good to go? | 02:41 |
| fantazam | use ftp instead putty :) | 02:41 |
| julie1 | um... version whatever is installed by default | 02:41 |
| xtiger | I've tried everything, but I just can't find a solution to my firefox problem | 02:41 |
| fantazam | gtftp | 02:41 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: yeah | 02:41 |
| djbpython | losher: how do I know which is the appropriate rc.X? | 02:41 |
| * jrib leaves | 02:41 | |
| jenistin | dm-madman: I wish their policies made sense like that. | 02:41 |
| Ben64 | julie1: open firefox, type about:plugins and look for flash, will have the version listed | 02:41 |
| hottoddy | hello all....new to ubuntu and irc......just curious if anyone can pm me or put on here some more popular irc servers and some good and interesting utilities to work with jaunty | 02:41 |
| losher | djbpython: the default is rc2.d unles you're doing something extra special | 02:41 |
| jenistin | fantazam: I want to use SSH for more than file transfer, but thank you | 02:41 |
| mimiloon | hi everybody, how do i disable the touchpad of my laptop when an external mouse is connected? | 02:42 |
| julie1 | Flash 10.0 r32 | 02:42 |
| pitput | sebsebseb, base size memory.. I only have 1 gb. what do you recommend? | 02:42 |
| sebsebseb | hottoddy: good idea to browser synaptic and see what's available, when your new | 02:42 |
| julie1 | (thanks, can't believe I didn't know that) | 02:42 |
| sebsebseb | hottoddy: and try some stuff out as well if you want to try it | 02:42 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: leave the base memory as default | 02:42 |
| dm-madman | jenistin: good luck, man. my suggestion is get a laptop and put that one under the desk | 02:42 |
| losher | jenistin: security & convenience tend to pull in opposite directions. I suggest you get an exception for the purpose of debugging... | 02:42 |
| fantazam | ftp have ssh :) | 02:42 |
| fantazam | gftp | 02:42 |
| dm-madman | jenistin: of course bringing your own laptop is probably against policy as well | 02:42 |
| fantazam | damn my keyboard sucks | 02:42 |
| Zehava | How can I see what ports are open from terminal please? | 02:42 |
| Ben64 | julie1: hmm.. same one i have, perfect for 64bit | 02:43 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: and the video memory leave that as default as well | 02:43 |
| losher | !who | fantazam | 02:43 |
| ubottu | fantazam: 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 :) | 02:43 |
| robd | Hey guys | 02:43 |
| robd | I need some help w/ preseeding | 02:43 |
| jenistin | dm-madman: lol, I've actually done that already | 02:43 |
| kd8JHC | julie1: yeah same here, on 9.04 64 bit | 02:43 |
| julie1 | I know today's updates upgraded FF, and I *think* FF 3.5 (which was not the upgrade today so far as I know) b roke flash when I tried it | 02:43 |
| robd | I'd like to boot using the Ubuntu cd and then just add my preseed file on the boot cli, but so far I can't... | 02:43 |
| julie1 | y'alls didn't break today? | 02:43 |
| pitput | sebsebseb, for virtual hard disk, should I create new harddisk or use existing harddisk? | 02:43 |
| kd8JHC | nope | 02:43 |
| jenistin | losher: True, but since it's not business-purpose exactly, it wouldn't get through. Plus the CTO would have to sign it... | 02:43 |
| fantazam | btw rcconf and bum bootup manger is better than sysv-rc ;) | 02:43 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: create new hard disk | 02:43 |
| julie1 | huh | 02:43 |
| Ben64 | julie1: i used firefox ppa daily build, then locked version, so no firefox updates for me | 02:44 |
| robd | Is there anyway I can define my own preseed.cfg file that's hosted on an http server w/o having to re-burn a cd? (lame!!!) | 02:44 |
| dm-madman | jenistin: doesn't sound like you have much choice if you want to do any work at work there | 02:44 |
| losher | jenistin: wish I knew what to suggest. I'm out of ideas *again*... | 02:44 |
| kd8JHC | And I don't think that upgrade was from today, it wasn't in my update list | 02:44 |
| hottoddy | sebsebseb: What do you mean browser synaptic? | 02:44 |
| sebsebseb | hottoddy: system > adminstration > synaptic package manager | 02:44 |
| Zehava | hottoddy go to applications and at the bottom should be add/remove programs | 02:44 |
| sebsebseb | !synapic | hottoddy | 02:44 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about synapic | 02:44 |
| julie1 | I assumed it was today 'cause it wasn't in the list last night and it was in the list today | 02:44 |
| dm-madman | jenistin: sorry about your luck though. windows support is basically nonexistent | 02:44 |
| julie1 | hmm | 02:44 |
| kd8JHC | oh, weird. cuz I did the same thing and no FF upgrade. oh well | 02:45 |
| pitput | sebsebseb, you said make expanding disk 60 gb. Should I do the same even though I don't have that much? | 02:45 |
| sebsebseb | hottoddy: Zehava synatpic is better than add/remove | 02:45 |
| julie1 | do y'all think the ubuntuzilla version would work with 64-bit flash? | 02:45 |
| mimiloon | how do i disable the touchpad of my laptop when an external mouse is connected? | 02:45 |
| dsdeiz | !synaptic | 02:45 |
| ubottu | synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto | 02:45 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: I already explained this to you, it doesn't matter if you don't have that much space on your partition | 02:45 |
| fantazam | hottoddy: open terminal and type sudo synaptic | 02:45 |
| fantazam | or sudo apt-get install synaptic | 02:45 |
| julie1 | I can't remember when I installed it if flash worked on 3.5 | 02:45 |
| kd8JHC | julie1: maybe. open FF and type "about:plugins" | 02:45 |
| kd8JHC | oops | 02:45 |
| Zehava | sebsebseb I personally just use apt-get so wasn't sure how that worked out. I figured it's all a gui front end for apt | 02:45 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: it's just space the vm thinks it has, and can actsaully become in size, if there's enough on the partition, if not Virtualbox will even come up with a message saying it's running out of space for the virtual hard disk | 02:45 |
| robd | How do I break out of the retarded isolinux gui so that I can define my own boot arguments on the ubuntu 9.04 cd? | 02:45 |
| julie1 | oh no it's not installed, I'll have to reinstall it | 02:45 |
| hottoddy | sebsebseb: I know what synaptic is.....i thought you were saying there was a browser synaptic and I got confused. Thank you for your help. | 02:46 |
| jenistin | dm-madman: losher: cornet: thank you for all of your help, I really appreciate it. Got to go! | 02:46 |
| julie1 | but... going to do.. | 02:46 |
| kd8JHC | are you installing it from Synaptic julie1? | 02:46 |
| julie1 | no, terminal... didn't know ubuntuzilla worked in synaptic | 02:46 |
| losher | jenistin: see you tomorrow for the next instalment... | 02:46 |
| julie1 | ? | 02:46 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: XP SP3 will be like 5GB for the virtual hard disk, and that's all, unless you put on quite a few more big files | 02:46 |
| robd | Has anyone here worked with preseeding? | 02:46 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: quite a few big files or whatever | 02:46 |
| robd | Does anyone here even know what that means? | 02:46 |
| robd | or is this just desktop support? | 02:47 |
| Zehava | Is there a command or install I can put in to be able to see what ports I have open on my box from a terminal? | 02:47 |
| fantazam | is any way of playing hd dvd and blue ray movies in ubuntu i found solution for burrning it-(nero linux) | 02:47 |
| kd8JHC | julie1: you're right, i thoguht you were talking about reinstalling flash | 02:47 |

| matthiasdorfelt | did any one experience that glActiveTexture is missing on NVIDIA 185.18.36 driver? | 02:47 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: 60GB 100GB 2TB if you want even | 02:48 |
| === Guest57913 is now known as _Loki | ||
| sebsebseb | pitput: what size have you put? | 02:48 |
| losher | robd: I know what it means, but I'm not qualified to help. But I'd say it's probably too technical an issue for this list, where we tend to get more newbie style questions... | 02:48 |
| pitput | sebsebseb, I just put 60 gb. lol | 02:48 |
| julie1 | kd8JHC: I could try that... I'm just kind of gunshy 'cause flash in 64 bit seems sooo breakable, and I don't always know enoguh to be able to fix it :-\ | 02:48 |
| === mirco_ is now known as mirco | ||
| sebsebseb | pitput: ok | 02:48 |
| kd8JHC | julie1: well for what it's worth, FF + Flash is extremely stable on my 64bit system | 02:48 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: What kind of XP CD you got? It might not like an OEM version in Virtualbox. | 02:49 |
| julie1 | are you running 64-bit FF or 32-bit? | 02:49 |
| julie1 | I don't remember which is the default... | 02:49 |
| losher | robd: might have better luck on #debian | 02:49 |
| dm-madman | yeah FF and Flash work great here too | 02:49 |
| kd8JHC | 64 bit all the way | 02:49 |
| pitput | sebsebseb, umm, windows xp with sp2 | 02:49 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: booted that up in there yet? | 02:50 |
| losher | julie1: type: lsb_release -a | 02:50 |
| julie1 | losher: 9.04, but I knew that ;-) | 02:50 |
| pitput | sebsebseb, yeah, it's working | 02:51 |
| losher | julie1: doesn't mention 64 bit? What about uname -a ? | 02:51 |
| julie1 | "no LSB modules are available", if it was supposed to say something else | 02:51 |
| pitput | sebsebseb, it's at the installation | 02:51 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: NTFS quick when you install it by the way | 02:51 |
| julie1 | Linux julie-desktop 2.6.28-15-generic #49-Ubuntu SMP Tue Aug 18 19:25:34 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux | 02:51 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: don't need the other one, and it's quicker if you do quick | 02:51 |
| pitput | sebsebseb, hence the name? haha | 02:51 |
| MeXTuX | I installed noip2 on Ubuntu 8.04. But I need to reconfigure it. Does anybody know?? xD | 02:51 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: and right ctrl to switch between the vm and the host as it says | 02:51 |
| losher | julie1: mine says that too... See that x86_64 ? You're running 64 bit... | 02:52 |
| matthiasdorfelt | is anybody using nvidias 185.18.36 driver? | 02:52 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: that can even be changed to another button in the settings if you really want | 02:52 |
| julie1 | losher: does that mean 64-bit FF too? | 02:52 |
| pitput | sebsebseb, i think I'll just stick with right ctrl | 02:52 |
| sebsebseb | julie1: you probably have 64bit Flash | 02:52 |
| losher | julie1: erm, dunno. What does ' | 02:52 |
| sebsebseb | julie1: since you got a 64bit OS | 02:52 |
| mimiloon | can anyone help me please? i've installed gsynaptics for my touchpad but when i try to run it, i get this error: "GSynaptics couldn't initialize. | 02:52 |
| mimiloon | You have to set 'SHMConfig' 'true' in xorg.conf or XF86Config to use GSynaptics", and i don't know what to do next | 02:52 |
| losher | julie1: erm, dunno. What does 'about' in firefox say? | 02:52 |
| julie1 | aha this is interesting... ubuntuzilla installer finished, reopened FF (the ubuntuzilla version) and it says "You should update Adobe Flash Player right now. Firefox is up to date, but your current version of Flash Player can cause security and stability issues. Please install the free update as soon as possible." | 02:53 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: and if sound isn't on by default for whatever reason, that can be set up in the vm settings, as well as other things, such as the USB | 02:53 |
| kd8JHC | julie1: Where did you install flash? synaptic or dl from Adobe | 02:53 |
| julie1 | losher: the version ubuntu just installed says 64 bit in about | 02:54 |
| pitput | sebsebseb, internet would still be available through nat right? | 02:54 |
| losher | julie1: ok... | 02:54 |
| julie1 | kd8JHC: I honestly don't remember... I know I've done both before, but I think the latest install (did clean install of jaunty) was from adobe | 02:54 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: I think so, if not you can probably set up | 02:54 |
| julie1 | anyway I'm going to try the flash upgrade FF is suggesting now | 02:54 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: also you should treat this vm like you would psyical Windows install | 02:54 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: here's a tip use a limited account all the time, unless you really need admin say to install a new program | 02:55 |
| kd8JHC | julie1: yeah let us know if it worked | 02:55 |
| Korlis | hey all | 02:55 |
| weidhhe | how to use ubuntu as a nat router that can allocate a specific bandwidth to a client pc? | 02:55 |
| pitput | sebsebseb, what happens if the virtual machine gets infected with a virus or other malicious items? Just delete and reinstall right? | 02:55 |
| julie1 | eek it sent me to the i386 version apparently, gonna take me another minute to find the 64 bit... | 02:55 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: yep, or use a copy of a clean vm file | 02:56 |
| Korlis | ok, whenever i try to access my home folder in nauitlus it creates a seg fault, whats going on | 02:56 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: you can copy a clean virtual hard disk image, really easilly, like a normal file | 02:56 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: however it should also be rather quick to install a clean install, just like the install your doing now, that shoudn't take that long to do | 02:56 |
| Korlis | also happens when i open gedit | 02:57 |
| julie1 | ok, the .so goes in home/.mozilla/plugins, right? | 02:57 |
| sebsebseb | julie1: I think so | 02:57 |
| slestak | is configuring spdif for audio with jaunty still a chore? i see lots of hits for older discussions ingoogling | 02:57 |
| kd8JHC | im checking that right now julie | 02:57 |
| mimiloon | can anyone help me please? i've installed gsynaptics for my touchpad but when i try to run it, i get this error: "GSynaptics couldn't initialize. You have to set 'SHMConfig' 'true' in xorg.conf or XF86Config to use GSynaptics", and i don't know what to do next | 02:57 |
| Korlis | rendering both unusable | 02:57 |
| julie1 | aha I tried it | 02:58 |
| kd8JHC | home/~/.mozilla/plugins | 02:58 |
| julie1 | and it worked! | 02:58 |
| julie1 | thank you kd8JHC and everyone else!!!! | 02:58 |
| kd8JHC | nice | 02:58 |
| kd8JHC | no problem | 02:58 |
| JTrunner | hi, can anyone help me with sshd? | 02:58 |
| kd8JHC | come back soon | 02:58 |

| Ben64 | kd8JHC: home/~/ doesn't exist, it'd be ~/ | 02:59 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: oh yeah and web browseing, I suggest you do that in Firefox in Ubuntu, rather than in your vm, so that you hopefuly contribute in some way, to Firefox Linux market share :) | 02:59 |
| julie1 | I will! I wish I knew more and could help instead of just asking questions :) | 02:59 |
| julie1 | bye all :) | 02:59 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: well both market shares are improtant :) | 02:59 |
| kd8JHC | Ben64: i was using ~ to stand for username | 02:59 |
| kd8JHC | sorry | 02:59 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: Linux and Firefox | 02:59 |
| pitput | sebsebseb, the two most important out there | 02:59 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: yep | 02:59 |
| Korlis | anyone know why accessing my home in nautilus will cause a segmentation fault? FYI, it only happens in nautilus, no other file browser | 03:00 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: and then Office Suites like Open Office, and then email clients such as Evolution and Thunderbird I guess | 03:00 |
| Ben64 | more linux share = more linux games = more linux share = ............. [windows is dead] | 03:00 |
| hottoddy | is there any other channels on this server | 03:00 |
| JTrunner | i keep getting a connection times out when trying to connect to a server from a ubuntu desktop | 03:00 |
| sebsebseb | hottoddy: of course | 03:00 |
| Korlis | hottoddy: type /list | 03:01 |
| sebsebseb | Korlis: I was going to suggest that | 03:01 |
| sebsebseb | Ben64: well pretty much, but there are other important types of apps, that many people are doing only or mainly in Windows at the moment | 03:01 |
| JTrunner | anyone with knowledge of ssh, sshd? set up? | 03:01 |
| matthiasdorfelt | did any one experience that glActiveTexture is missing on NVIDIA 185.18.36 driver? | 03:01 |
| mimiloon | Korlis: there's no such word in the file | 03:01 |
| sebsebseb | Ben64: wel games aren't important, but they are for OS market share | 03:01 |
| Iphox | need help installin aircrack 1.0 final thru terminal?????????? | 03:02 |
| Hansard | I saw a website the other day that looked like synaptic and you could install programs directly from within firefox. I can't remember what the site was called and I can't google it. Anyone know what I'm talking about? | 03:02 |
| Ben64 | sebsebseb: but gamers control the entire personal computer development | 03:02 |
| syk | how do i remove the login screen on startup? | 03:02 |
| sebsebseb | Ben64: ,but the more Windows stuff that works well in Wine the better, as well as in a Windows virtual machine which is nearly everything :) | 03:02 |
| Ben64 | virtual machines suck, requires you to buy windows still | 03:02 |
| fantazam | lol | 03:02 |
| pitput | sebsebseb, yup, the install is going to take awhile nontheless | 03:03 |
| seidos | Ben64: it doesn't REQUIRE you to, though it is more ethical to buy a copy | 03:03 |
| Ben64 | i know tons of people who would use linux only, if it weren't for the game compatibility issues | 03:03 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: 15 minutes maybe or 20 | 03:03 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: normalley with 1GB RAM, XP installs pretty quickly in Virtualbox | 03:03 |
| Ben64 | then software developers would be required to make everything compatible with linux, or lose money | 03:03 |
| fantazam | ben64: windows is no1 for gaming becouse dirext x ;) | 03:03 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: about 20 I guess yeah | 03:03 |
| seidos | fantazam: opengl | 03:04 |
| Ben64 | fantazam: what? direct x isn't anything awesome | 03:04 |
| sebsebseb | Ben64: well and hardware issues | 03:04 |
| sebsebseb | Ben64: average computer users want it all to work, that's wireless, sound, all of it | 03:04 |
| slestak | fantazam: closed environments can do that | 03:04 |

| pitput | sebsebseb, would I need the disk everytime I want to boot windows xp ? | 03:04 |
| Ben64 | sebner: yep, but the gamers have the ability to tip the scales, imo | 03:04 |
| seidos | sebsebseb: ubuntu can do this now, problem is hardware variance | 03:04 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: no | 03:04 |
| JTrunner | you don't need to do much configuration with Ubuntu | 03:04 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: ,because you install it in the virtual hard disk image that you made | 03:05 |
| fantazam | game developers are not some nerds that making game for free just to show up,they live at making and selling games | 03:05 |

| seidos | sebsebseb: I know. What's your point? The distros benefit each other. | 03:07 |
| jrib | JTrunner: are you on the server now? | 03:07 |
| sebsebseb | seidos: distros aren't all fully compatible with each other, but that's off topic here | 03:07 |
| seidos | JTrunner: that doesn't sound like a problem to me. is it happening while you're working? | 03:08 |

| JTrunner | jrib, no. it's at work. I'm trying to set up a ubuntu server. checked the sshd_configure files, made sure ports are open | 03:08 |
| jrib | JTrunner: well the first step would be to see if you can "ssh localhost" on the server | 03:08 |
| JTrunner | jrib, it refused | 03:09 |

| dm-madman | JTrunner: why on earth would you choose Ubuntu for a server platform? | 03:10 |
| JTrunner | jrib, yes | 03:10 |
| Ben64 | Ubuntu is a fine server | 03:10 |
| Korlis | i prefer DEbian for servers | 03:10 |
| kd8JHC | yeah, i second that | 03:10 |
| fantazam | danbhfive: i dont wana install anything that is point linux developers must inculde all that things | 03:11 |

| n-iCe | hi | 03:11 |
| sebsebseb | n-iCe: hi | 03:11 |
| n-iCe | MeXTuX: yes, open the port 22 | 03:11 |
| jrib | JTrunner: that shouldn't be the case on a default install. If you install the openssh-server package, you should be able to "ssh localhost" immediately afterwards | 03:11 |
| seidos | n-iCe: I didn't have to open port 22 on my server | 03:11 |
| JTrunner | jrib, that's what I thought | 03:11 |
| seidos | n-iCe: but someone else set it up for me | 03:11 |
| n-iCe | seidos: you have them open already I guess. | 03:12 |
| kd8JHC | you wouldn't have to open 22 to get in from your internal LAN | 03:12 |
| Ben64 | doesn't the default ubuntu-server install include sshd? | 03:12 |
| jrib | JTrunner: is there anything not default about your install? | 03:12 |
| kd8JHC | only if you want in from outside | 03:12 |
| n-iCe | seidos: that's why | 03:12 |
| Ben64 | i know ubuntu-desktop doesn't | 03:12 |
| Flannel | Ben64: Not always | 03:12 |

| sebsebseb | pitput: oh | 03:13 |
| sebsebseb | Korlis: no? | 03:13 |
| JTrunner | it shows that it is listening on the port | 03:13 |

| Korlis | sebsebseb: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu | 03:16 |
| sebsebseb | Korlis: ok | 03:16 |
| xtiger | kd8JHC: firefox is the only application with the problem | 03:16 |
| kd8JHC | xtiger: probably reduced the font size | 03:16 |
| sebsebseb | Korlis: thanks I guess | 03:16 |
| kd8JHC | try control + | 03:16 |
| Korlis | im here to educate ;-) | 03:16 |
| xtiger | xangua: If I adjust the font size in firefox, then it messes up webpages | 03:16 |
| xangua | ¿¿ | 03:17 |
| xtiger | kd8JHC: specifically, I'm referring to the "minimum font size" | 03:17 |
| kd8JHC | what is it set to? | 03:17 |
| sebsebseb | Korlis: well makes sense, already Ubuntu/Gnome, Kubuntu/KDE, and Xubuntu/XFCE | 03:17 |
| xtiger | kd8JHC: I can zoom, and that works, but I would have to do that on every page I go to | 03:17 |
| sebsebseb | Korlis: LXDE is pretty popular as well | 03:17 |
| JTrunner | for sshd, do i need to specify in the ip address of the server? | 03:17 |
| Zehava | if netstat doesn't show a process or port does that mean that the port is not open?? | 03:17 |
| xtiger | kd8JHC: in order to get most web pages to work properly, I have to allow the webpages to set their own font sizes | 03:17 |
| Zehava | I know the process is running I can ps aux | grep it and it's there | 03:17 |
| kd8JHC | go to Edit | Preferences and chage the default font size back to 16 (which is the default) | 03:17 |
| JTrunner | i meant"do i need to specify the ip address of the server? | 03:17 |
| shane2peru | sebsebseb: does he want Gubuntu/Gnome ? :) | 03:17 |
| sebsebseb | Korlis: and no not been on that link just yet | 03:17 |
| xtiger | kd8JHC: my default font size is 18 | 03:18 |
| Korlis | they should just offer an install cd that lets you choose the DE and downloads the approprate packages based on your choice rather than make 5 diff distros | 03:18 |
| Hansard | Does anyone know of any programs for ubuntu that let you preview a library of desktop themes and then you can download and install the ones you want? Kind of like a theme download manager / repository. | 03:18 |
| sebsebseb | shane2peru: I think there is a Gubuntu or something like that hmm | 03:18 |
| sebsebseb | shane2peru: free software only version | 03:18 |
| dsdeiz | Is there non Lubuntu/LXDE? :D | 03:18 |
| sebsebseb | shane2peru: yeah there's something | 03:18 |
| shane2peru | sebsebseb: lol, that is too funny | 03:18 |

| xtiger | kd8JHC: here's a screenshot: http://i26.tinypic.com/29xay54.jpg | 03:18 |
| xtiger | kd8JHC: the default font face is liberation | 03:18 |
| shane2peru | sebsebseb: I guess it fits, after seeing Kubuntu, and Xubuntu | 03:18 |
| sebsebseb | shane2peru: I think Canonical have a version maybe not, well there's Gnewsense based on Ubuntu which is free software only | 03:19 |
| sebsebseb | shane2peru: from The Free Software Foundation | 03:19 |
| webbb82 | is there any other options as far as apps to manage minamized apps | 03:19 |

| shane2peru | sebsebseb: hmm, interesting. | 03:19 |
| xtiger | kd8JHC: yes--notice that the font size of the tabs is fine | 03:19 |
| sebsebseb | shane2peru: ok it's Goubuntu thanks Korlis | 03:19 |
| kd8JHC | it looks fine to me | 03:19 |
| Korlis | but gobuntu is being taken down | 03:19 |
| gradin | hello | 03:19 |
| sebsebseb | Korlis: taken down as in getting rid of it? | 03:19 |
| kd8JHC | the tab font looks HUGE to me | 03:19 |
| Flannel | Korlis, sebsebseb: gobuntu is deprecated, use gNewSense as a recommended alternative | 03:20 |
| Korlis | yeah, now they'll just have an option on install to use just free software | 03:20 |
| kd8JHC | it's so big the tab title can't show fully | 03:20 |
| xtiger | kd8JHC: trust me it's tiny. The tab fonts are relatively small on my monitor, so just try to compare that mentally with the font size | 03:20 |
| Flannel | Korlis, sebsebseb: they actually already do that, under advanced options | 03:20 |
| Korlis | Flannel: i know | 03:20 |

| xtiger | kd8JHC: already tried it (that's what it was at originally) | 03:21 |
| xtiger | kd8JHC: tried that too | 03:21 |
| sebsebseb | Korlis Flannel do what? and that's interesting if Canonical themselves recommend GNewSense as an alternative to Gobuntu | 03:21 |

| ubottu | moxiac: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 03:26 |
| panfist | the newest drivers were released august 2009 on the amd's site | 03:26 |
| sebsebseb | panfist: also whatever the card, it's normalely best to "only" install drivers for it from the Ubuntu repo | 03:26 |
| kd8JHC | control + zero | 03:26 |
| sebsebseb | panfist: otherwise expect problems | 03:26 |
| Guest82806 | ubuntu 8.10 | 03:27 |
| panfist | sebsebseb well if that's the case then this performance is unacceptable. it's unacceptable as a media player because video quality is crap and 3d performance is crap | 03:27 |
| Guest82806 | is there a camand to start a wireless usb card manualy | 03:27 |
| sebsebseb | panfist: I see ok | 03:27 |
| Korlis | moxiac: i dont know if mirc exists for linux, try something like Quassel, or use the default xchat | 03:27 |
| pitput | sebsebseb, it's working perfectly! | 03:27 |
| sebsebseb | panfist: you probably got the same issue, that this other person had | 03:27 |
| sebsebseb | panfist: and they were told to use 8.04 to use their card properly | 03:27 |
| sebsebseb | !ati | panfist | 03:28 |
| ubottu | panfist: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 03:28 |
| kd8JHC | moxiac: use Pidgin for irc | 03:28 |
| kd8JHC | bet you already have it installed | 03:28 |
| panfist | i'm using software rendering because at least that way media files play ok, except that there isn't enough CPU for 720p/h264 anymore, and i cant use 3d | 03:28 |
| Guest82806 | but in backtrack forums i read people are using this but cant find a away to use it | 03:28 |
| sebsebseb | panfist: feel free to try the ATI drivers from their site if you want in 9.04, but if you get problems with xorg as result, it's actsaully ATI's fault | 03:28 |
| Evelina | Is there any tool for detecting language of a text in Ubuntu/Linux? I mean to find out in what language a text is written? | 03:28 |
| panfist | i see | 03:28 |
| LucidGuy | Anyone know if scp is logged anywhere .. ubuntu server. | 03:28 |
| panfist | what issue did the other person have? | 03:29 |
| sebsebseb | panfist: something similar to what you want to do I think | 03:29 |
| sebsebseb | panfist: 9.04 being bad for their ATI card | 03:29 |
| xtiger | Guest82806: do an iwconfig to see the name of the new usb device | 03:29 |
| Chegger | Evelina not that I know of. You could look at the hex code for unicode symbols from a certain language, but that would probably give a lot of false positives for characters used in multiple languages | 03:29 |

| sebsebseb | panfist: someone suggested 8.04, I was like what about 8.10, but nope even 8.10 will have the issue, because it has an xorg that ATI don't like | 03:30 |
| xtiger | Guest82806: use pastebin if you want to paste code | 03:30 |
| Guest82806 | how do i turn power management on | 03:30 |
| sebsebseb | panfist: or whatever | 03:30 |
| panfist | i see | 03:30 |
| Korlis | well im gonna get goin | 03:30 |
| Korlis | see you all later | 03:30 |
| sebsebseb | panfist: yeah 8.04 and 8.10/9.04 have rather differnet versions of xorg | 03:30 |
| pitput | sebsebseb, the usb option is greyed out in the virtual machine | 03:30 |
| panfist | what if the driver isn't the problem...could it be two seperate problems effecting media rendering and 3d rendering? | 03:30 |
| xtiger | Guest82806: don't worry about power management | 03:30 |
| blackotaku | Ok. I installed Compiz Fusion and set up the Desktop Cube. I also set up a sky dome for it. However, the skydome doesn't load on startup (theres a blank background everytime I reboot). What should I do? | 03:30 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: and after you added filters or whatever in the vm settings? | 03:30 |
| panfist | how is that ATI's fault? | 03:30 |
| === prince_j1mmys is now known as prince_jammys | ||
| pitput | it's default vm settings sebsebseb | 03:31 |
| Guest82806 | that sists right under wlan0 | 03:31 |
| sebsebseb | panfist: ,because most hardware manufactures do not support Linux properly | 03:31 |
| xtiger | Guest82806: you should see a wlanX device corresponding to your USB car | 03:31 |
| Guest82806 | so i asume thats the usb one | 03:31 |
| === mike is now known as Guest64029 | ||
| sebsebseb | panfist: as a result, if you do try the ATI drivers, and get problems with xorg, well that confirms it | 03:31 |
| xtiger | Guest82806: do you have a wlan0 and a wlan1? | 03:31 |
| Guest82806 | nothing | 03:31 |
| Guest82806 | no just the one | 03:31 |
| Evelina | Chegger: Ok, I need some kind of tool to recognize the language of a text. | 03:31 |
| xtiger | Guest82806: does the laptop have a wireless card itself? | 03:31 |
| Guest82806 | could it be drivers | 03:31 |
| Guest82806 | yes | 03:32 |
| Evelina | Chegger: Maybe it's possible to match the words against dictioneries? | 03:32 |
| Guest82806 | intell 5100 | 03:32 |
| xtiger | Guest82806: does it work in windows? | 03:32 |
| Chegger | Evelina I could write one for you for a small fee | 03:32 |
| Guest82806 | yes in windows i turn off wireless and the card takes over | 03:32 |
| sebsebseb | panfist: also xorg can only do so much, it really can't do certain things or not easilly, because of the reverse enginging, because manufactures have closed source drivers for their cards | 03:32 |
| Guest82806 | when pluged ion | 03:32 |
| Guest82806 | in | 03:32 |
| xtiger | Guest82806: it could be the drivers | 03:32 |
| panfist | so it works flawlessly in one version of xorg (maybe) but not another...? wouldn't ati want to mention that on their website if it was a big issue? xorg is a pretty ubiquitous program | 03:32 |
| sebsebseb | panfist: enginering above | 03:32 |
| Guest82806 | now i have drivers on a cd but i dont know how to install the package | 03:32 |
| pitput | sebsebseb, what kind of filters do I need to apply? | 03:32 |
| xtiger | Guest82806: just plug the cd in and read the README | 03:33 |
| Guest82806 | will it have the commands | 03:33 |
| Guest82806 | ? | 03:33 |
| xtiger | Guest82806: probably | 03:33 |
| Guest82806 | im a noob | 03:33 |
| Evelina | Chegger: Well, I'll try to find a free solution first of all. I donät think it would be that difficult. Google has a service that recognize language of a text, but I wanted to have my own tool. | 03:33 |
| xtiger | Guest82806: that's ok. everyone's a noob to someone else | 03:33 |
| sebsebseb | panfist: ATI or any other company that makes graphics card are unlikely to mention on their website that Ubuntu 9.04 has isues with their card, as far as I know not even Intel does it, and oh yes there are quite a few Intel graphic card issues with 9.04 | 03:33 |
| panfist | but the issue isn't with ubuntu it's with xorg | 03:34 |
| panfist | everyone who uses linux including enterprise is likely using xorg | 03:34 |
| sebsebseb | panfist: in fact truth is a lot of hardware manufactures and software companies, don't care that much about Desktop Linux right now, because they think it doesn't have enough market share yet | 03:34 |
| Guest82806 | one sec look at the read me | 03:34 |
| xtiger | panfist: Ubuntu is the one that would suffer possible reputation damage in the eyes of the public | 03:34 |
| sebsebseb | panfist: Linux tends to have great hardware support, yes Linux as in the kernel, but most of that support has also been reverse enginered | 03:34 |
| panfist | yes but what about companies like intel, cisco, sun, etc that have thousands of desktop employees running linux | 03:34 |
| Chegger | Evelina ok. If you decide you want one built PM me | 03:35 |
| Guest82806 | 1> $tar -xvzf RT2870_Linux_STA_Drv_x.x.x.x.tar.gz | 03:35 |
| Guest82806 | go to "./RT2870_Linux_STA_Drv_x.x.x.x/" directory. | 03:35 |
| sebsebseb | panfist: and they are also likely to be using hardware, which they know works properly with Linux | 03:35 |
| panfist | so are there open source drivers that are happier with the current kernel/xorg | 03:35 |
| Chegger | Evelina wouldn't take more than a day or two and a couple hundred dollars | 03:35 |
| Guest82806 | 2> prepare the firmware (bin file) and the profile (dat file). | 03:35 |
| Guest82806 | $cp common/rt2870.bin /etc/Wireless/RT2870STA/ | 03:35 |
| Guest82806 | $cp RT2870STA.dat /etc/Wireless/RT2870STA/ | 03:35 |
| xtiger | Guest82806: sounds like the instructions are pretty simple | 03:35 |
| xtiger | Guest82806: it's giving you the exact commands | 03:35 |
| sebsebseb | panfist: the open source drivers have been reverse enginered most/all of them | 03:35 |
| Flannel | Guest82806: Please use pastebin in the future, thanks. | 03:35 |
| Guest82806 | so just cut the things into the konsole for commands | 03:35 |
| webbb82 | anyone in here ever use fluxbox | 03:36 |
| webbb82 | or hackbox | 03:36 |
| sebsebseb | panfist: it's up to you if you want to try the ATI drivers from there site, but if you get problems as a result, just remember it's not Linux/Ubuntu/xorgs fault | 03:36 |
| xtiger | Guest82806: does the README apply to ubuntu specifically? | 03:36 |
| Guest82806 | linux kernel 2.4 and 2.6 series. | 03:37 |
| Guest82806 | Tested in Redhat 7.3 or later. | 03:37 |
| xtiger | Guest82806: If the instructions are for RedHat, they might not carry over exactly to ubuntu | 03:37 |
| moxiac | I have 8.10, can I just upgrade without losing any data which I've saved? | 03:37 |
| xtiger | Guest82806: for example, there may not be an /etc/wireless | 03:37 |
| sebsebseb | panfist: as far as I know ATI have no open source drivers, and if they did, that would be great | 03:37 |
| === ksmurf_ is now known as help | ||
| Guest82806 | but are those instructions copy and pastable into konsole | 03:37 |
| panfist | i could have swore i read about an open source ati driver project | 03:38 |
| Guest82806 | to try and install them | 03:38 |
| sebsebseb | panfist: companies tend to keep their hardware specs and that, rather closed | 03:38 |
| xtiger | Guest82806: yes they are copy and pasteable into konsole, but they may not work on ubuntu | 03:38 |
| === help is now known as Guest45269 | ||
| Guest82806 | ok well its worth a shot | 03:38 |
| Guest82806 | give me a sec | 03:38 |
| sebsebseb | panfist: if so is the open source project just the community, or did ATI them selves contribute, if it's the second :) if not reverse enginered driver | 03:38 |
| blackotaku | Ok. I installed Compiz Fusion and set up the Desktop Cube. I also set up a sky dome for it. However, the skydome doesn't load on startup (theres a blank background everytime I reboot). What should I do? | 03:39 |
| xtiger | blackotaku: call the president | 03:39 |
| Flannel | xtiger: Please be helpful | 03:39 |
| === Guest45269 is now known as ksmurf99 | ||

| === iruan_ is now known as iruan | ||
| Evelina | Chegger: Thank you, but I will go with Google until I find a solution already built. | 03:40 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: yeah the USB support in Virtualbox is a bit confussing as to how to do it, did you download the manual for their site? have you asked in #vbox ? in fact by now you might have it working | 03:41 |
| Chegger | Evelina ok pappy | 03:41 |
| blackotaku | Seriously, does anyone know what I should do? | 03:41 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: the manual from their site is rather good :) | 03:41 |
| panfist | sebsebseb yes it's a community project which ati claims to assist from time to time | 03:42 |
| Guest82806 | nope nothing | 03:43 |
| xtiger | Guest82806: were there any errors? | 03:43 |
| Guest82806 | go to "./RT2870_Linux_STA_Drv_x.x.x.x/" directory. | 03:43 |

| subone | Guest007: I meant like a control panel for controllers | 04:10 |
| shane2peru | noob: that is a bummer, it really sounds like you have a problem, if it doesn't work in either OS, that is bad, | 04:10 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: hmm didn't have to do this before with older versions of Ubuntu | 04:10 |
| ihave | if i could use it to display 2 desktops on both screens and move documents back and forth. or to stretch it to have one desktop on both | 04:10 |
| AspergersWorld | Hi. | 04:10 |
| Guest007 | ihave: You can use a VGA splitter, but you will only get a duplicate signal. It won't give you extra screen space. | 04:10 |
| shane2peru | noob: can you check all your F# keys and see which one displays a wireless type symbol? | 04:10 |
| Megiddo | sorry | 04:10 |
| Megiddo | my internet cut out | 04:11 |
| ihave | i mean instead of repeating the same image it would stretch the desktop to use both monitors to display the same picture | 04:11 |
| ihave | so like one monitor but with two | 04:11 |
| subone | ihave: not possible with a splitter | 04:11 |
| Guest007 | ihave: No, you will need a graphics card with dual monitor support. Sorry. | 04:11 |
| ihave | darn. | 04:11 |
| Megiddo | O-o | 04:11 |

| Stevethepirate | Hi, Ive installed a MySQL db on ubuntu, everything is fine, just when I make a new DB with a user, and then make some php to access the db, it gives a *Access denied for user* error. The password is definately right, the details are right. If I use root password it works, just I obviously dont want to give all users root x( | 04:34 |
| Ubuntu_Helper_00 | herenbdy_: You can also use SFTP to transfer files. | 04:34 |
| chuck | lstarnes: I'm using Jolicloud OS, which is based on Ubuntu netbook remix and uses jaunty's sources | 04:34 |
| leaf-sheep | steven_: Try "sudo alsactl init" in the terminal. | 04:34 |
| jwfoxjr | ok, so I just rebooted and remote 9.04 Desktop install and can't ssh to it - is it because NetworkManager controls the networking? | 04:34 |
| sebsebseb | ninabeena: first of all how did you end up with Ubuntu? | 04:34 |
| Ubuntu_Helper_00 | Stevethepirate: Try asking in #mysql. Maybe they can give you better advise. | 04:34 |
| webbb82 | ivve been thinking about installin debain is there anything ubuntu does that debain cant | 04:34 |
| Paddy_NI | It is kinda funny when your pet dogs bebo page is more active than some of the people you meet from /america(ubuntu).com mega wopper dupper | 04:34 |
| Stevethepirate | ah, this is true. | 04:34 |
| lstarnes | chuck: I don't think this channel can properly support unofficial derivatives | 04:34 |
| jwfoxjr | and if so, should I manually define my networking stuff? | 04:34 |
| Paddy_NI | lmao | 04:35 |
| Paddy_NI | :) | 04:35 |
| Amaranth | webbb82: Ubuntu tends to be more up-to-date and sets a lot of things up for you | 04:35 |
| Ubuntu_Helper_00 | steven_: One moment while I look for you make and model online. | 04:35 |
| lstarnes | jwfoxjr: did you install openssh-server? | 04:35 |
| leaf-sheep | :) | 04:35 |
| Paddy_NI | perspective people PLEASe | 04:35 |
| webbb82 | ok | 04:35 |
| webbb82 | thanks | 04:35 |
| jwfoxjr | yes - was ssh'd in - ran an apt-get upgrade - rebooted | 04:35 |
| lstarnes | chuck: its package name may be pycurl, which is in jaunty's main repo | 04:36 |
| steven_ | Unknown hardware; "HDA-Intel" "SigmaTel STAC9228" "HDA: 83847616, 1028022e, 00100201" "" "" Hardware is initialized using a guess method | 04:36 |
| jwfoxjr | I've noticed the same thing with my home machine when I'm at work - so I set it up to auto-login...but I can't do it with this machine at my office | 04:36 |
| Ubuntu_Helper_00 | steven_: What flavor and version of Ubuntu are you running? | 04:36 |
| steven_ | Ubuntu 9.04 64-bit | 04:36 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: ok | 04:36 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: still here? | 04:36 |
| pitput | you know it sebsebseb | 04:36 |
| jwfoxjr | lstarnes: should I just configure eth0 via /etc/network/interfaces and disable NetworkManager? | 04:37 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: ok vboxusers group your probably already in that, let's find out | 04:37 |
| leaf-sheep | steven_: Does the sound work? Also, make sure it's not muted. :) | 04:37 |
| lstarnes | jwfoxjr: I don't think networkmanager has an effect on it | 04:37 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: on the top right, where it says your name right click and users and groups | 04:37 |
| lstarnes | jwfoxjr: check your ufw/iptables rules | 04:37 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: unlock it with your password, and see what groups your in | 04:37 |
| lstarnes | jwfoxjr: and make sure that sshd is running | 04:37 |
| jwfoxjr | lstarnes: not running any firewall on it - like I said, sshd was running, I was ssh'd into it... | 04:38 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: my install is a bit different since... nevermind, but yeah it's something like that | 04:38 |
| lstarnes | jwfoxjr: but you are currently unable to do so? | 04:38 |
| pitput | sebsebseb, i'm in root and home | 04:38 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: is there also a vboxusers group listed? | 04:38 |
| pitput | sebsebseb, no | 04:38 |
| jwfoxjr | lstarnes: yep - that's right....maybe I should have used the server version instead of desktop - since it's going to be my FOG server | 04:39 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: are there any other groups listed? | 04:39 |
| steven_ | Cannot hear sound at all. Not muted | 04:39 |
| lstarnes | jwfoxjr: is sshd running now? | 04:39 |
| Ubuntu_Helper_00 | steven_: Okay your sound can maybe be fixed by editing the file /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base and appending 'options snd-hda-intel model=dell' | 04:39 |
| jwfoxjr | lstarnes: I can't even ping the box - that's what's telling me networking isn't up yet... | 04:39 |
| pitput | sebsebseb, when i go to manage groups, it's there but greyed out | 04:39 |
| Ubuntu_Helper_00 | steven_: And then you would I think restart your computer. | 04:39 |
| lstarnes | jwfoxjr: did you reboot it remotely? | 04:40 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: and you put in the password | 04:40 |
| pitput | sebsebseb, i didnt put in a password and theres no option for that | 04:40 |
| steven_ | How do I edit the file? I have no idea how to even get to that, much less edit it | 04:40 |
| jwfoxjr | lstarnes: yes - after I added my updates. | 04:40 |
| sebsebseb | I wanted to try and help ninabeena, but looks like she/he has left oh well, probably also the type of person that will find Ubuntu pretty difficult, unless someone helps them out with it rather properly | 04:41 |
| lstarnes | jwfoxjr: it is possible that it may not have fully rebooted | 04:41 |
| jwfoxjr | lstarnes: none of the other services are reachable - like the web server or the mysql server | 04:41 |
| pitput | sebsebseb, wait! i see it now | 04:41 |
| lstarnes | jwfoxjr: or networking isn't working | 04:41 |
| Ubuntu_Helper_00 | steven_: Press Alt+F2 and enter 'gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base' | 04:41 |
| lstarnes | jwfoxjr: if it doesn't use a static IP, its IP address may have changed | 04:41 |
| Ubuntu_Helper_00 | steven_: Then you would proceed to enter your password. | 04:41 |
| Ubuntu_Helper_00 | steven_: A window will come up similar to Notepad where you can then add that line. | 04:42 |
| jwfoxjr | lstarnes: doubtful that it didn't reboot properly - like I said I've had this problem with 9.04 desktop before with my home machine, and set up auto-login to resolv the issue... | 04:42 |
| jwfoxjr | lstarnes: nobody seems to know if on Desktop if NetworkManager controls the network stack or not | 04:42 |
| lstarnes | jwfoxjr: it has some control | 04:42 |
| Ubuntu_Helper_00 | steven_: If model=dell doesn't work after you restart and check for volumes and whether it is muted, you can replace it with model=ref | 04:42 |
| jwfoxjr | lstarnes: is a static IP - first thing I do when I set up a box | 04:42 |
| === zero is now known as Guest61244 | ||
| lstarnes | jwfoxjr: for me, it still respects /etc/network/interfaces | 04:43 |
| === Guest61244 is now known as Canadian_Trenche | ||
| jwfoxjr | lstarnes: well I know that the /etc/network/interfaces on that box only had: auto lo and iface lo inet loopback | 04:43 |
| lstarnes | jwfoxjr: no other parameters? | 04:44 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: ok can you enable it | 04:44 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: add your self to it? | 04:44 |
| jwfoxjr | lstarnes: that why I think NetworkManger has full control of the networking.....and if it was manually defined in /etc/network/interfaces would probably be up... | 04:44 |
| pitput | sebsebseb, i'm a group on it now | 04:44 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: have you added yourself to that group? | 04:45 |
| jwfoxjr | lstarnes: no other parameters...interface was defined right in NetworkManager... | 04:45 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: if not or I guess maybe even be sure, you can run the command that page gave | 04:45 |
| steven_ | That file is empty. Is that normal? | 04:45 |
| steven_ | Nothing in it at all | 04:45 |
| lstarnes | steven_: that doesn't seem unusual if it's a new file | 04:46 |
| steven_ | Alright. I have no idea either way lol | 04:46 |
| sadrolla | hi , i now install kde 4.3.1 in ubuntu 9.04 , and synaptic is download kdebase-workspace-wallpapers package with 47 mg , i like not download this file , who can help me :d | 04:46 |
| lstarnes | steven_: installing a package requires installing all of its dependencies | 04:46 |
| steven_ | restarting now... | 04:47 |
| leaf-sheep | Stevethepirate: I think you mistyped. | 04:47 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: system > administration > terminal | 04:47 |
| leaf-sheep | Err... steven_ ^^ | 04:47 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: that's where commands go always | 04:47 |
| sadrolla | hi , i now install kde 4.3.1 in ubuntu 9.04 , and synaptic is download kdebase-workspace-wallpapers package with 47 mg , i like not download this file , who can help me :d | 04:48 |
| pitput | sebsebseb, I get that part but do I input that whole thing into the terminal? | 04:48 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: yes | 04:49 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: in each box is a command to run | 04:49 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: 1 2 3 | 04:49 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: and it needs to be done in order really | 04:49 |
| Hansard | I'm getting screen tearing when I play video, anyone know where I should start in order to fix this? | 04:50 |
| sadrolla | hi , i now install kde 4.3.1 in ubuntu 9.04 , and synaptic is download kdebase-workspace-wallpapers package with 47 mg , i like not download this file , who can help me :d | 04:50 |
| pitput | sebsebseb, I inputed " vGid="`grep vboxusers /etc/group|cut -d\: -f3`" # Determine the devgid for the vboxusers group | 04:50 |
| pitput | if [ "$vGid" ] && [ "`grep usbfs /etc/fstab`" == "" ] ; then | 04:50 |
| pitput | echo "none /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=${vGid},devmode=664 0 0" >>/etc/fstab | 04:50 |
| pitput | mount -a | 04:50 |
| pitput | fi" as ONE command? | 04:50 |
| bruenig | that is ugly | 04:50 |
| steven_ | Sound is still not working | 04:50 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: yes and that's also the 3rd thing for you to do | 04:51 |
| leaf-sheep | steven_: I think you mistyped the path. | 04:51 |
| pitput | sebsebseb, wow. that was one big command line. Now usb should work? | 04:51 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: did you do 1 and 2 first? | 04:51 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: command or series of commands whatever it is | 04:51 |
| bruenig | if [[ $vGid ]] && ! grep -q usbfs /etc/fstab ; then echo "none /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=${vGid},devmode=664 0 0" >>/etc/fstab ; mount -a; fi | 04:51 |
| pitput | sebsebseb, yes | 04:51 |
| steven_ | Can I have again? | 04:52 |
| bruenig | is prettier | 04:52 |
| mimiloon | can anyone help me please? how do i mount partitions automatically without the password? | 04:52 |
| steven_ | I didn't save what I was supposed to do because I thought it would work | 04:52 |
| bcm75 | I play sounds on my laptop since installing Ubuntu | 04:52 |
| fez | steven_: that's a false assumption | 04:52 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: this actsaully helped me as well, because I want to put some stuff into a VM on the other computer, and I had no luck, since wasn't like before when it came to setting up the USB, but if I try this hopefuly :) | 04:52 |
| lstarnes | steven_: try setting all of the options in system > preferences > sound > devices to use pulseaudio | 04:52 |
| * leaf-sheep propose that the package 'pastebinit' is automatically installed and part of the metapackages in the future Ubuntu releases starting with Karmic for many obvious reasons. :) | 04:52 | |
| sebsebseb | pitput: well I could have just burnt the stuff to CD which I was going to do, but hadn't done yet so... | 04:53 |
| Ubuntu_Helper_00 | mimiloon: There is a file called /etc/fstab which let's you do that. | 04:53 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: rather not waste another CD when I don't have to, even though got quite a lot | 04:53 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: so if I can use the USB stick in the vm :) | 04:53 |
| mimiloon | Ubuntu_Helper_00: thanks for the heads up | 04:53 |
| pitput | sebsebseb, so the usb option under devices in the VM is still greyed out.. | 04:53 |
| leaf-sheep | pitput: Did you restart? | 04:54 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: hmm | 04:54 |
| Ubuntu_Helper_00 | mimiloon: Would you like me to guide you through the steps to automatically mount your partitions and/or disk drives? | 04:54 |
| bcm75 | Already tried the pulseaudio thing and still no sound?? | 04:54 |
| pitput | leaf-sheep, you mean log out or restart? | 04:54 |
| mimiloon | Ubuntu_Helper_00: that would be nice | 04:54 |
| sebsebseb | leaf-sheep: be clear when you say restart, since they might think you mean the whole of Ubuntu, rather than for example closing vbox and re opening, or logging out of Ubuntu and back in agian | 04:54 |
| leaf-sheep | pitput: Did you restart? (Ubuntu) | 04:55 |
| sebsebseb | leaf-sheep: restart sot he USB stuff works in the kernel? | 04:55 |
| leaf-sheep | sebsebseb: Yes. | 04:55 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: ok re boot | 04:55 |
| Ubuntu_Helper_00 | mimiloon: The format of this file is file system, mount point, type, options, dump, and pass. | 04:55 |
| leaf-sheep | sebsebseb: (and fstab). | 04:55 |
| madison | I'm too lazy to dig up another power cable to set up this box ;/ | 04:55 |
| pitput | okay leaf-sheep, sebsebseb . brb | 04:56 |
| sebsebseb | leaf-sheep: the page he was using though, didn't say to re boot hmm | 04:56 |
| Ubuntu_Helper_00 | mimiloon: What partition or disk drive are you mounting? | 04:56 |
| nour | hello, can anyone tell me how the .forward file for emails works in ubuntu ? | 04:56 |
| sebsebseb | leaf-sheep: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox/USB | 04:56 |
| steven_ | That did not work either | 04:56 |
| sebsebseb | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox/USB | 04:56 |
| Ubuntu_Helper_00 | steven_: Maybe you edited the wrong file. Or there was a typo. | 04:57 |
| leaf-sheep | sebsebseb: Ah I see. We'll see what happen when he get back. :) | 04:57 |
| mimiloon | Ubuntu_Helper_00: sda3 | 04:57 |
| steven_ | gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base | 04:57 |
| Ubuntu_Helper_00 | steven_: Since I can't be as much help as I would like to be, also check Google for answers. | 04:57 |
| nour | help! i need to know how the .forward file works | 04:58 |
| Ubuntu_Helper_00 | mimiloon: So you would open that file in gedit for example and you would create a new line. First, what is the file system? | 04:58 |
| Ubuntu_Helper_00 | mimiloon: Maybe you can follow example of the other automounted partitions? | 04:59 |
| Ubuntu_Helper_00 | nour: Try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostfixBasicSetupHowto | 04:59 |
| Ubuntu_Helper_00 | nour: Forgive me if there is a typo. I am typing by hand. | 05:00 |
| mimiloon | Ubuntu_Helper_00: it's ext3 | 05:00 |
| steven_ | I guess my sound card or whatever just won't work | 05:00 |
| leaf-sheep | steven_: What were you doing when you broke the sound? | 05:01 |
| pitput | sebsebseb, leaf-sheep; It seems to be working! | 05:01 |
| leaf-sheep | pitput: I know. >:}~ | 05:01 |
| steven_ | It never worked to begin with | 05:01 |
| pitput | leaf-sheep, how did you know? | 05:02 |
| nour | Ubuntu_Helper_00, thanks, but i already saw the link, i just need to understand how this .forward file is supposed to work, is there a deamon or something that fetches emails and send them to the .forward entries ? | 05:02 |
| mimiloon | Ubuntu_Helper_00: i tried googling it but didn't understand how to do it because i'm new to linux | 05:02 |
| leaf-sheep | pitput: For starters, I do use VirtualBox myself. | 05:02 |
| pitput | leaf-sheep, ohh! I see. Thanks to sebsebseb, I am switching over to virtualbox and I am loving it | 05:03 |
| Ubuntu_Helper_00 | mimiloon: http://epistel.no/fstab | 05:03 |
| Ubuntu_Helper_00 | !fstab | 05:03 |
| ubottu | The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 05:03 |
| Ubuntu_Helper_00 | I need an OP (or someone who can work ubottu) | 05:04 |
| mimiloon | Ubuntu_Helper_00: thanks for the link | 05:04 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: and thanks to leaf-sheep for suggesting the reboot | 05:04 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: altough I might have thought of that later on | 05:05 |
| leaf-sheep | steven_: "sudo aptitude install -y pastebinit ; clear ; aptitude search '?installed!?automatic'' | grep alsa | pastebinit" | 05:05 |
| Ubuntu_Helper_00 | mimiloon: For mount point, if you don't already know, you put the folder you want it mounted to. Make sure that this directory is already created and empty. | 05:05 |
| leaf-sheep | steven_: Please. We both have same model/make. :3 | 05:05 |
| mimiloon | Ubuntu_Helper_00: i'll remember that | 05:06 |
| sebsebseb | pitput: no problem | 05:07 |
| steven_ | I just entered that and it gave me a > | 05:07 |
| steven_ | Not sure what to do next | 05:07 |
| leaf-sheep | steven_: Whoops. A typo. Cancel it. Copy and paste exactly --> sudo aptitude install pastebinit ; clear && aptitude search '?installed!?automatic' | grep alsa | pastebinit | 05:07 |

| leaf-sheep | steven_: No sounds? :< | 05:14 |
| biovore | scoates: 127.0.0.1 is you local machine local loopback adapter.. thats what it should do.. | 05:14 |
| eagle1 | Hello biovore. It's an Atheros card... I tried to follow this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport/Machines/Netbooks/ToshibaNB205 | 05:14 |
| eagle1 | but didn't work for me.. | 05:14 |
| leaf-sheep | steven_: sudo alsactl store -- To save the config file. | 05:15 |
| scoates | biovore: before I did whatever I did today, when I connected to 127.0.0.1, the connections would come from 127.0.0.1, not 64.x.y.z | 05:15 |
| scoates | for example, I can have mysql rules for user@localhost | 05:15 |
| steven_ | Works now! Thank you! | 05:15 |
| scoates | now I need user@'64.x.y.z' | 05:15 |
| leaf-sheep | steven_: Great! >:}~ | 05:15 |
| scoates | I want to make it go back to 127.0.0.1 | 05:15 |
| leaf-sheep | steven_: I gladly accept PayPal too. >_> | 05:16 |
| steven_ | One problem...need to have it on 75-80% volume to reasonably hear it though | 05:16 |
| xylox | scoates, it also depends on the app you are using, some have bind options | 05:16 |
| steven_ | 80% volume == 50% windows volume | 05:16 |
| leaf-sheep | steven_: Well -- Use alsamixer to check if everything is still on high. Also, the sounds from all laptops are often known to be low. | 05:16 |
| steven_ | True. Shoddy speakers and all | 05:17 |
| mimiloon | Ubuntu_Helper_00: thanks for your help | 05:18 |
| leaf-sheep | steven_: I think you still mistyped earlier when they gave you the command to add "sound-dell" | 05:18 |
| Ubuntu_Helper_00 | mimiloon: You are very much welcome. So it is working fine for you know? | 05:18 |
| leaf-sheep | steven_: Who was it? I'm scrolling up. | 05:18 |
| Rabbitbunny | steven_: Right Click on the speaker icon in your tray. Select "Volume Control", Adjust the sliders until you can hear it. | 05:18 |
| steven_ | Zezoz tried to make me download sex.exe | 05:18 |
| steven_ | apparently my system did not download it though | 05:19 |
| xylox | scoates, also when you use user@localhost you are covering both cases 127.0.0.1 and your public ip | 05:19 |
| leaf-sheep | steven_: zezoz2005? | 05:19 |
| Ubuntu_Helper_00 | steven_: You don't want to download that. And thankfully, Ubuntu does not run those types of files. Only Windows systems can. Ubuntu can with a program called wine, though. | 05:19 |
| scoates | xylox: no. that's not how it works. | 05:20 |
| scoates | example of what I mean: http://paste.roguecoders.com/p/6115f0ac03a49e2d2cfdeba2b6118da7.html | 05:20 |

| Ubuntu_Helper_00 | djbpython: By manually, do you mean by compiling from source? | 05:32 |
| djbpython | i mean extracting it from one of the packages available for download | 05:33 |
| djbpython | i am new to linux as a whole | 05:33 |
| djbpython | i mean instead of using apt-get | 05:33 |

| kelletim | there is no "deb" there | 05:33 |
| Amaranth | zezoz2005: Can I PM you? | 05:33 |
| leaf-sheep | Canadian_Trenche: If that does not work for you, you always can zcat boot.img.gz to the USB -- Works best out of all in my opinion. ;) | 05:33 |
| Canadian_Trenche | djbpython you could download the debian package or you could download the tarball but why wouldnt you just install it using apt-get | 05:34 |

| Ubuntu_Helper_00 | steven_: Or you can updatedb, (that takes a while) but then after anytime, you can run 'locate file.file' | 05:36 |

| kelletim | LogicFan: you don't need IcedTea, I think, just Sun's jre | 05:53 |

| DK_CE | steven_: it would still install even if you do not have it with you | 07:00 |

| kermit | unperson: ifconfig eth0 hw ether <mac> | 07:03 |

| cryptide | dm-madman: any suggestions todo what i want? | 07:03 |
| dm-madman | cryptide: not really, i only read the last line :p | 07:04 |
| unperson | kermit, Well, that sounds easy enough. Am I correct in thinking there's no way to do it through the network manager GUI? | 07:04 |
| dm-madman | cryptide: too lazy to read up lol | 07:04 |
| kermit | unperson: i dunno, i kinda doubt it though | 07:04 |
| cryptide | dm-madman: that is all i said | 07:04 |
| kermit | unperson: its not something many ppl would want to do | 07:04 |
| cryptide | i guess patch doesnt work like extracting a tar :( | 07:05 |
| unperson | kermit, I'm guessing I have to bring down the interface to try it. | 07:05 |
| dm-madman | cryptide: well i suppose i'd trun it into a shell script then, but add some stuff for the dirs | 07:05 |
| dkT_ | n8tuser: So, I shall just run sudo /etc/init.d/openvpn start | 07:05 |
| unperson | unperson, Probably true. I've certainly never had a need in all the years I've run Linux (before now). | 07:05 |
| kermit | unperson: maybe? try.. you might be able to use your old and new macs by using eth0:0 for the spoof | 07:05 |

| ubottu | diyoung4: Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama | 07:06 |
| dm-madman | cryptide: like take the diff and basically put #!/bin/bash\nsome commands\ncat <<EOF\n at the top | 07:06 |
| dm-madman | cryptide: and an EOF at the bottom | 07:06 |
| unperson | kermit, I think I'll try bringing it down. I don't want to complicate things any more than necessary. I'm going to go give this a try. | 07:06 |
| n8tuser | unperson -> also there is the more advanced command ip to set all kinds of network parameters from link layer to tcp | 07:06 |
| dm-madman | cryptide: then you could just ./thefile | patch | 07:06 |
| dm-madman | cryptide: or make the directories and then run the patch | 07:07 |
| cryptide | dm-madman: i'll try that | 07:07 |

| ionut_ | Hey guys! I have a qustion about RAID1 vs RAID0 in Ubuntu. I have two Hitachi 500 GB SATA II drives. In RAID0 the the READ speed is 173 MB/s and WRITE performance is 156 MB/s; in RAID1 READ and WRITE performance is about the same : 80 MB/s | 07:27 |
| dmead | ive got a toshiba satilite laptop with latest ubuntu | 07:27 |
| zruty | good, I like ubuntut | 07:27 |
| dmead | and i'm having trouble finding either the regular toshiba driver or the omnibook module built for jaunty | 07:27 |
| kwork | ionut_, so whats the question | 07:27 |
| dmead | does anyone have this working? | 07:27 |
| ionut_ | I tested the speeds with dd; I thought the READ performance should pretty much be the same with RAID0 and RAID1 | 07:27 |
| kermit | ionut_: only if raid0 is striped | 07:28 |
| ionut_ | kermit can you gice a little more details? I thought RAID0 meant stripping... | 07:29 |
| ionut_ | are there other types of RAID0? | 07:30 |

| Indian` | nice thank you for the raid info | 07:31 |
| ionut_ | kwork I don't understand what kermit means by raid0 is stripped. AFAIK RAID0=stripping and RAID1=mirroring | 07:31 |
| Indian` | dmead1 I depends on the config | 07:32 |
| ejv | Boohbah: compile it yourself | 07:32 |
| dmead | Indian`, yea? | 07:32 |
| kwork | ionut_, you are correct | 07:32 |
| ionut_ | so what do you make of "only if raid0 is striped"? | 07:32 |
| Indian` | dmead: what is your lap config or what is not working in it | 07:32 |
| dmead | Indian`, i can't find any newer omnibook modules | 07:32 |

| naxa | ejv: but cat says that ftp://ftp.....sometging.txt is not a file or directory. it seems it cant do ft | 08:12 |
| naxa | p | 08:12 |
| om26er | i cnnot access a filesystem. iget the error read only files system | 08:12 |
| Rhapsody | Don't you just love KDE 4? | 08:13 |
| Boohbah | ejv: after having no success with the ppa version i found and compiling from source myself, i found this: http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/fceu | 08:13 |
| ejv | naxa: use wget, ftp, ncftpget, whatever, to push the file to your linux box; then cat and grep | 08:13 |
| kmofukka | Hello | 08:13 |
| indus | hi | 08:13 |
| naxa | ejv: but i don't have enought space to save 2.5 gb. all i have is ~ 300 mb | 08:14 |
| === MadMax is now known as Guest32039 | ||
| ejv | naxa: do you have access to the ftp server? | 08:14 |
| om26er | cannot open filesystem ti give read only error. but i can't even rad anything | 08:14 |
| naxa | ejv: well not a shell access. only anonymous ftp access | 08:14 |
| steinerhippo | naxa: maybee mount local, like in ubuntu the server mounts | 08:14 |
| steinerhippo | and then the grep could work | 08:15 |
| naxa | steinerhippo: well am i able to mount an ftp? :) | 08:15 |
| ejv | im not terribly confident that would work | 08:15 |
| naxa | I should check thet via google | 08:15 |
| gabriele_ | ghghghg | 08:15 |
| naxa | ejv: well i'm not sure either but well is there any other choice? | 08:16 |
| fsl | naxa - you could try piping wget through grep | 08:16 |
| ejv | he would need to read 2.5G of data into memory and search it; terribly impracticle | 08:16 |
| ionut_ | naxa you could start downloading the file, interrupt it and then open the file with tweak (hex editor) | 08:16 |
| fsl | wget ftp://<username>:<password>@<ftpserver>/<filename> -O- | grep <searchterm> | 08:17 |
| naxa | ionut_: yes but the file is 2.5 gb long. what if my line is at the position of 2.3 gb | 08:17 |
| naxa | fsl: thanks i will try that! | 08:17 |
| Rhapsody | I am thouroughly confused as to how it's even possible for an NFS error to keep going after two complete shut down and cold boot sequences. NFS has been rebooted now, it cannot be any other way. So where is this error coming from? | 08:17 |
| fsl | -O- sends to stout aka terminal | 08:17 |
| ionut_ | I thought it were at the beggining | 08:17 |
| kmofukka | naxa - you ask too many questions RTFM | 08:17 |
| naxa | kmofukka: i don't know how manual would help me in this case | 08:18 |
| naxa | fsl: thanks! :) | 08:18 |
| fsl | np - took me a second to test if it would work | 08:18 |
| ejv | did that work? | 08:18 |
| ejv | wasn't aware of -O, that's very cool | 08:18 |
| roel- | this is the first time i have "NOT AUTHENTICATED" updates, should I worry? | 08:18 |
| ejv | good find fsl | 08:18 |

| Rei-chan | THinking of putting Ubuntu on a Walkabout Computers Hammerhead HH3, which is a tablet PC. It has 1 USB port. That's the ONLY port it has. | 08:20 |

| ionut_ | kmofukka is there a manpage for O (-O- )? | 08:25 |
| sash_ | and if all this doesnt work, try the alternate-version | 08:25 |
| Rei-chan | Let me grab the stick, I'll boot it up in a moment and we'll see what rolls. The Chips & Tech is actually a... "prototype" build. It even says, "NOT FOR PRODUCTION USE" on the VGA BIOS screen. | 08:25 |
| Rei-chan | However, the tablet is mil-rated. :) | 08:25 |
| fsl | ionut: not sure if you are asking me or not - but -O- is an option to wget | 08:27 |

| davix | i think after the xorg | 09:00 |
| davix | slept, of course i tried that. it didnt work | 09:00 |
| slept | davix, open a terminal, use lspci to find out which card it is | 09:00 |

| lightpriest | vavar, it's nvidia's | 09:10 |
| vavar | good. i have a nvidia. how to use that kind of stuff? | 09:10 |

| ejv | lightpriest: if you're not into that, I suggest your purchase a beefy card to make sure you don't have issues; keep in mind that even sufficiently powerful cards can falter playing hi-def content; it matters what libraries your players use. | 09:18 |

| Myrtti | Sicilia: you need to be in the fuse group, if you're not, you need to be added by someone with sudo rights | 09:19 |
| lightpriest | ejv, yeah :/ well, thanks... | 09:19 |
| ejv | lightpriest: for example, my 8800gts, a sufficiently powerful card, can not playback 1080p bluray in VLC, because of inefficiencies within VLC. | 09:20 |

| der_martin | and that's buggy since ever | 10:35 |

| Munna | ManDay: simple go to your settings manager | 10:39 |
| Munna | ManDay: then check off trail focous | 10:39 |
| Munna | ManDay: this is used in kompiz | 10:40 |
| Munna | or compiz | 10:40 |

| ManDay | Is there a way to safely remove everything related to pulseaudio (im using alsa)? | 10:41 |
| Elvanor | I want to install Linux on a laptop without a CD/DVD drive | 10:41 |
| ManDay | I tried uninstalling it but it claims that it will have to uninstal "gnome-desktop", too | 10:42 |
| ManDay | which i would like to keep, of course | 10:42 |
| Munna | ManDay: mmh ask someone else i want preformance for blactrack on my vm | 10:42 |
| ManDay | Munna what? | 10:42 |
| der_martin | Munna: this seems to be a problem regarding rdesktop, it's in nearly all distributions | 10:42 |
| der_martin | a friend of mine uses gentoo: same problem | 10:42 |
| Munna | ManDay: i dont use compiz except when i want to show som1 the power of linux ;) | 10:42 |
| Munna | ManDay: sorry im wierd | 10:43 |
| ManDay | ah ok | 10:43 |
| ManDay | yes you are | 10:43 |
| der_martin | damn...I DON'T WANT to return to M$, this sucks! | 10:43 |
| Munna | ManDay: blacktrack is a penitrating tool\ | 10:43 |
| fsl | der_martin: i have never had rdesktop issues connecting to and Windows Server version | 10:43 |
| fsl | you might have network issues etc. | 10:43 |
| ManDay | munna, do you have trouble typing? | 10:43 |
| Axlin | Elvanor, probably, but i just use unetbootin to create my own | 10:43 |
| Munna | der_martin: what? <:/ | 10:43 |
| fsl | have you verified the ports are open | 10:43 |
| fsl | ? | 10:43 |
| Gnea | !usb | Elvanor | 10:43 |
| ubottu | Elvanor: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 10:43 |
| Elvanor | Axlin: I dont have Ubuntu myself (Gentoo) | 10:43 |
| der_martin | M$ prohibits universities to give away their OS for a student price, you have to buy their crap | 10:44 |
| Munna | Elvanor: i dont like gentoo it looks more like ms 2000 | 10:44 |
| der_martin | fsl: all ports are open | 10:44 |
| fsl | how have you checked? | 10:44 |
| Elvanor | Munna: guess you never really used it then :) | 10:44 |
| der_martin | sure | 10:44 |
| fsl | which ports have you checked? | 10:44 |
| der_martin | I'm not running a firewall here | 10:44 |
| ankur | hello everyone... | 10:45 |
| Elvanor | All the pages I am finding refer to creating your own USB image | 10:45 |
| Elvanor | are there ready to burn ones? | 10:45 |
| Munna | ankur: hi | 10:45 |
| der_martin | and our router doesn't block them | 10:45 |
| ankur | i am facing a problem regarding kernel... | 10:45 |
| Munna | what | 10:45 |
| ManDay | I can't figure out where ROOT (program) got installed to. in installed it through synaptic but its not where the documentation says (/opt/root) how can i figure out where it is? | 10:45 |
| der_martin | fsl: working perfect with M$ rdp client | 10:45 |
| Munna | ankur: what happend | 10:45 |
| der_martin | so no port problem | 10:45 |
| Elvanor | I just need a live image to boot into linux and then proceed with my (Gentoo based) install | 10:46 |
| Gnea | Elvanor: it's evident that you have NOT read those pages. | 10:46 |
| ankur | since last three days i was unable to login into graphical mode in ubuntu box... | 10:46 |
| fsl | ... that is not the same as checking to see if the ports are open | 10:46 |
| Munna | so does anyone know the key to my problem :P | 10:46 |
| fsl | your isp could be blocking | 10:46 |
| fsl | etc. | 10:46 |
| der_martin | nope, doesn't | 10:46 |
| fsl | can you telnet to the terminal server on 3389? | 10:46 |
| der_martin | it's the university, they don't block this stuff | 10:46 |
| Munna | fsl: my isp is blocking? no i tried it with subcomandante in #yafaray channel | 10:47 |
| Elvanor | Gnea: I did. But they all need some sort of sepcial tools | 10:47 |
| Elvanor | iso-to-stick.sh or such scripts | 10:47 |
| der_martin | fsl: I doubt that they leave telnet open | 10:47 |
| der_martin | kind of a security problem ;) | 10:47 |
| fsl | its not for telnet | 10:47 |
| fsl | telnet is a dumb protocal | 10:47 |
| Munna | so does anyone know | 10:47 |
| fsl | it will tell you if the port is open | 10:47 |
| der_martin | you don't really need telnet for rdp conections | 10:47 |
| fsl | no | 10:48 |
| Munna | ManDay: i belive it's trail focus in compiz | 10:48 |
| fsl | you need telnet to test ports | 10:48 |
| der_martin | normally telnet is deactivated for security reassons | 10:48 |
| Gnea | Elvanor: then you didn't read them all the way through. | 10:48 |
| ManDay | Is there a way to safely remove everything related to pulseaudio (im using alsa)? | 10:48 |
| fsl | yes | 10:48 |
| Munna | go to #compiz | 10:48 |
| ankur | Manna: now from web search i experimented "modborbe intel-agp" now i can see the login screen...but the keyboard and mouse are still not working... | 10:48 |
| fsl | which is why you are telneting on 3389 | 10:48 |
| fsl | to connect to the terminal server | 10:48 |
| Axlin | Elvanor, i would just use unetbootin. fire up the program, select the distro, select the drive, click okay | 10:48 |
| Elvanor | Axlin: unetbootin is only for Ubuntu ? or is it available on other distros? | 10:48 |
| Munna | ankur: i can connect and see the desktop in action but cant controll it | 10:49 |
| Axlin | Elvanor, you can use it on any linux distro you want, or windows | 10:49 |
| Elvanor | Ha, it is available on Gentoo | 10:49 |
| Gnea | Elvanor: please see the 'manual approach' on the first link. | 10:49 |

| ankur | any idea regarding this...? | 10:49 |
| Munna | Elvanor: mmmh i think unet booting is not good | 10:49 |
| Elvanor | Why ? | 10:50 |
| Munna | i am ur ubuntu teacher microsoft is a bad word | 10:50 |
| der_martin | fsl: name or service not known | 10:50 |

| ManDay | Munna, is it "blacktrack" or "backtrack"? | 10:51 |
| Elvanor | Munna: what are you talking about... | 10:51 |
| fsl | der_martin: ? more specific please | 10:51 |
| Elvanor | which live session? | 10:51 |
| Gnea | Munna: yes, what ARE you talking about? | 10:51 |
| der_martin | telnet ts.zdv.uni-mainz.de:3389 | 10:51 |
| * Elvanor thinks Munna is talking nonsense since he compared gentoo to Win 200 :) | 10:51 | |
| Munna | ManDay: black track there is no difrence to the choices that u gave | 10:51 |
| der_martin | telnet: could not resolve ts.zdv.uni-mainz.de:3389/telnet: Name or service not known | 10:51 |

| Amaranth | Serendippo: I believe it has been for some time | 11:08 |
| Asuser | Munna now, are you connecting from ubuntu to backtrack via VNC? | 11:09 |
| Munna | Gnea: manday just asked about backtrack so i told him about it forget backtrack | 11:09 |
| cantoma | guys, how can i find out the filesystem of an external disk | 11:09 |
| Gnea | Munna: it's too late now. | 11:09 |
| Serendippo | Amaranth: yes, a few weeks i think. I just wonderd if it was an error on my end or not. Updates keep on giving me index-corruption and unreachable destinations. | 11:09 |
| Asuser | Gnea he doesn't have backtrack. You must understand that. | 11:09 |
| Munna | asuser no | 11:09 |
| Munna | Asuser: yes i do | 11:10 |

| Gothfunc | hi. on my jaunty laptop, connected to the network with wifi, i need to mount a remote disk on a linux server. nfs will hang if it goes out of range, so what should i be using? | 11:17 |
| Amaranth | Munna: If no one is answering it is because no one has the answer. That is a very odd problem | 11:17 |
| Amaranth | Gothfunc: samba or sshfs | 11:18 |
| dwi | does anyone know why alt-printscreen-k wont open the photo cropper lik eit should??? | 11:18 |
| Ademan | I remember reading about some new protocol to replace nfs... | 11:18 |
| Munna | azza: ive tried x11vnc with subcomandante on the channel #yafaray and he controlled mine and it worked | 11:18 |
| Ademan | not that it's gained any traction... | 11:18 |
| Amaranth | dwi: printscreen isn't a modifier, you can have alt-printscreen or alt-k but not alt-printscreen-k | 11:18 |
| sadrolla | hi , i will install new driver vga ( nvidia , 185 ) who make deb ? | 11:19 |
| Munna | so noone knows the answer | 11:19 |
| Gothfunc | Amaranth: i'm using cifs at the moment and it seems ok, apart from the fact that gedit can't delete backup files when it saves. i have backups unchecked in the prefs but apparently it's normal for gedit to create the backup anyway then delete it after, but it's not getting deleted and the files are building up and up until i get errors. i can delete them manually and the permissions are fine. any ideas? | 11:19 |
| azza | Munna: just wait an hour or so | 11:19 |
| fsl | Munna: what commands are you using to launch x11vnc ? | 11:19 |
| Amaranth | sadrolla: That driver is only is the development release of Ubuntu, you'll have to wait for the next release if you want an easy way to install it | 11:20 |
| Munna | azza: :o | 11:20 |
| azza | Lolz | 11:20 |
| Amaranth | Gothfunc: Sorry, don't have any experience with cifs | 11:20 |

| fsl | Munna: Question #3 "keystrokes and mouse button clicks are ignored (I am able to move the mouse though) | 11:21 |
| Amaranth | Gothfunc: You can configure ssh to only allow connections within your network but if you configure it to only work with ssh keys and not regular passwords it should be secure enough to allow access from anywhere | 11:21 |
| sadrolla | Michalxo: i am on kubuntu 9.04 , i will faster kubi | 11:21 |

| ManDay | Amaranth, im talking about the program called ROOT | 11:22 |
| ManDay | root.cern.ch | 11:22 |
| Munna | ok ~/.vnc/port.txt does what | 11:23 |
| Amaranth | ManDay: oh, wow, never heard of that | 11:23 |
| Asuser | !sudo | Amaranth | 11:24 |
| ubottu | Amaranth: 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) | 11:24 |
| Amaranth | Asuser: Why did you do that? | 11:24 |
| Munna | ok ~/.vnc/port.txt does what | 11:24 |
| Asuser | Amaranth so you could learn about sudo | 11:24 |
| gemilang | amaranth: is that ok even im using p3 to installing ubuntu 9.04 | 11:24 |
| ManDay | lol | 11:24 |
| Amaranth | Asuser: I've written patches for libgksu, I think I know what sudo is :) | 11:25 |

| daasdingo | hey guys, I have an external hard disk and want to use it on both linux and windows systems, what filesystem should i use? ntfs always made problems when windows users unsecurely removed it, and fat32 has 4gb limit, and ext3/4 cannot be read by the stupid windows, does anyone know a good fle system? | 11:47 |
| moqill | hello | 11:47 |
| richardcavell | daasdingo: you don't have very many choices | 11:47 |
| richardcavell | daasdingo: FAT32 is the obvious choice | 11:47 |
| daasdingo | but I have movies which are over 4gb, thats the problem | 11:48 |
| Boohbah | Sicilia: kind of sucks dealing with a company that locks down their devices like that huh? | 11:48 |
| moqill | i dont linke FAT32 :) | 11:48 |
| richardcavell | well I don't like it either | 11:48 |
| richardcavell | but if you want a filesystem that works on Linux and Windows flawlessly, that's your answer | 11:48 |
| daasdingo | hm | 11:48 |
| daasdingo | yes, I dont like it either | 11:49 |
| moqill | whre are you from? | 11:49 |
| Aijse | Or make ir ext 3 and share it rhough samba | 11:49 |
| Sicilia | Boohbah, that`s a way for bill ge ..... and apple company :\ | 11:49 |
| Aijse | then your Linux and windows can access it | 11:49 |
| Dima_Sharihin | hi2all, is there anybody knows how to connect nsc-ircc with lirc? | 11:49 |
| daasdingo | but in school people want to plug it in for file sharing etc | 11:49 |
| richardcavell | daasdingo: do you have separate Linux and Windows machines or are you dual booting? | 11:49 |
| daasdingo | its an external hard disk, and in school we have both linux and windows systems so we always have problems with that | 11:50 |
| AryehGregor | daasdingo, you can always break apart a big file into a few smaller files and stitch them back together when needed. | 11:50 |
| legend2440 | PoLL`: right click top panel chooes add to panel choose workspace switcher does that one allow adding workspaces? | 11:50 |
| daasdingo | well, i suppose thats the best solution, yes | 11:50 |
| AryehGregor | Far from ideal, but that's the state of cross-platform filesystems today. | 11:50 |
| richardcavell | daasdingo: FAT32 is your answer | 11:51 |
| daasdingo | I dont know much about windows, can it only read fat and ntfs? | 11:51 |
| Michalxo | daasdingo, possible to isntall plugins for ext2,3 | 11:52 |
| Aijse | `Can't you make 1 server and let the Linux and windows pcs connect to it? Or do you need a transportable disk? | 11:52 |
| ActionParsnip | daasdingo: ntfs will work too | 11:53 |
| daasdingo | I need it transportable, we have no network connection between pcs | 11:53 |
| ActionParsnip | daasdingo: windows can read ext2 with extra software from http://www.fs-driver.org | 11:53 |
| nnull | if in firefox Check for Updates is Greyed out, is the browser/box hijacked? | 11:53 |
| Amaranth | daasdingo: ntfs is your best choice | 11:53 |
| ActionParsnip | daasdingo: linux can write to ntfs with ntfs-3g | 11:53 |
| ActionParsnip | nnull: there is no update | 11:54 |
| kholerabbi | is there a ppa for Skype 2.1? | 11:54 |
| kholerabbi | or even a deb? | 11:54 |
| Amaranth | nnull: updates come from ubuntu, not mozilla | 11:54 |
| daasdingo | well i think I'll use fat32 ntfs sucks on a portable drive | 11:54 |
| AryehGregor | ActionParsnip, Linux can't recover NTFS journals, so it stops working as soon as a Windows user removes it without unmounting it. | 11:54 |
| ActionParsnip | kholerabbi: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-install-skype-2-1-beta-in-ubuntu.html | 11:54 |
| nnull | ActionParsnip→ So 3.0.1.3 is the lastest ubuntu release? | 11:55 |
| ActionParsnip | AryehGregor: thats why you should always cleanly remove | 11:55 |
| daasdingo | because windows users just plug the drives off and then you have to force mount etc | 11:55 |
| tordt | smt@work | 11:55 |
| AryehGregor | ActionParsnip, doesn't help him if other people are using it. | 11:55 |
| ActionParsnip | nnull: in jaunty 3.5.4 is a seperate app | 11:55 |
| kholerabbi | thanks ActionParsnip | 11:55 |
| daasdingo | ActionParsnip: but nobody safely removes | 11:55 |
| nnull | ActionParsnip→ Ahh... Cheers ;) | 11:55 |
| ActionParsnip | AryehGregor: true but its best practice and is advised in windows, treat hardware nice and it will look after you :) | 11:55 |
| PoLL` | legend2440: yep ... thats the first time i have seen somethin like this | 11:56 |
| kholerabbi | ActionParsnip: the 8.10 skype deb works in Jaunty? | 11:56 |
| ActionParsnip | kholerabbi: doubt it | 11:56 |
| Amaranth | daasdingo: linux can't fix fat32, if it needs to be checked for errors it needs to be checked for errors | 11:56 |
| PoLL` | legend2440: i've been using gnome for serveral years | 11:56 |
| Amaranth | daasdingo: with fat32 you're just ignoring the errors | 11:56 |
| legend2440 | PoLL`: does the new one let you add workspaces? | 11:56 |
| PoLL` | legend2440: no | 11:56 |

| Hitman32 | thankx | 12:00 |
| Ytxx | Anyone know how to remove a folder ? | 12:00 |
| Munna | Ytxx: :D | 12:00 |
| Ytxx | I am trying to remove a file .ssh and I did member:this "rm -rf /home/.ssh" but the folder is still present when I do 'ls -la' | 12:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Ytxx: rm -rf <folder> | 12:00 |
| AryehGregor | Ytxx, did you get any error message? | 12:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Ytxx: it will remove the folder and all sub-contents | 12:00 |
| AryehGregor | Er. | 12:00 |
| Ytxx | ActionParsnip: nope nothing | 12:00 |
| AryehGregor | /home/.ssh usually doesn't exist. | 12:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Ytxx: so make sure you dont need any of the contents at all | 12:00 |
| AryehGregor | Perhaps you meant to remove ~/.ssh ? | 12:00 |
| Ytxx | but I can see it | 12:01 |
| AryehGregor | Are you sure you gave the correct path? | 12:01 |
| Amaranth | Ytxx: no, that's be /home/<username>/.ssh | 12:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Ytxx: what folder do you want to delete? | 12:01 |
| Ytxx | .ssh | 12:01 |
| PoLL` | Amaranth: i have removed compiz (w. --purge) ... still same problem. And after 10 mins of usage ... i can't switch workspaces anymore | 12:01 |
| Amaranth | s/that's/that'd/ | 12:01 |
| AryehGregor | Does ls -d /home/.ssh show anything? | 12:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Ytxx: rm -rf ~/.ssh | 12:01 |
| AryehGregor | .ssh is a relative path. | 12:01 |
| AryehGregor | Give the full path. | 12:01 |
| AryehGregor | I think you're confusing /home with /home/yourusername. | 12:01 |
| Amaranth | PoLL`: Removing compiz is a bad idea, just disable it with System->Preferences->Appearance | 12:01 |
| Amaranth | PoLL`: But why do you not want compiz? | 12:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Ytxx: if you run the command without the path, it assumes the pwd | 12:02 |
| Munna | ActionPartnership i want libx11-dev and libxaw7-dev but its saying E:Package libxaw8-dev has no installation candidate | 12:02 |
| julemore | HOW TO apt-get list |grep whatever? | 12:02 |
| PoLL` | Amaranth: i did that ... and it comes back on ... | 12:02 |
| Amaranth | PoLL`: I don't see how that's possible | 12:02 |
| Gnea | julemore: apt-cache search something | 12:03 |
| Amaranth | PoLL`: You selected the "None" option, right? | 12:03 |
| julemore | gmm k | 12:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Julian-de: do you want a list of installed app, or possible apps? | 12:03 |
| PoLL` | Amaranth: yep | 12:03 |
| AryehGregor | (reposting) What might it mean if my machine locks up; responds to pings but SSH times out; Alt-SysRq REISUB lets me reboot with clean filesystems; but Alt-SysRq-K doesn't restart the session, and there's nothing relevant in syslog? | 12:03 |
| Ytxx | this is what I did 'rm -rf ~/.ssh' | 12:03 |
| Ytxx | and when I do "ls -la" the file is still there | 12:03 |
| daasdingo | Amaranth: nobody wants compiz | 12:03 |
| Munna | ActionPartnership i want libx11-dev and libxaw7-dev but its saying E:Package libxaw8-dev has no installation candidate | 12:03 |
| Amaranth | daasdingo: I do | 12:04 |
| PoLL` | Amaranth: like i told you i've been using gnome for server years ... this is the first time something this strange happens to me | 12:04 |
| Lping | Hi guys ! | 12:04 |
| Munna | ActionPartnership i want libx11-dev and libxaw8-dev but its saying E:Package libxaw8-dev has no installation candidate | 12:04 |
| AryehGregor | Ytxx, do "ls -lad ~/.ssh" | 12:04 |
| daasdingo | Amaranth: it only makes problems with 3d apss | 12:04 |
| Lping | any tech guys around here?? | 12:04 |
| AryehGregor | Ytxx, "~/.ssh" might or might not be the same file as ".ssh". It depends what directory you're in. | 12:04 |
| Munna | all are | 12:04 |
| Amaranth | daasdingo: But I may be a bit biased, I'm a compiz developer and somewhat responsible for it in ubuntu :P | 12:04 |
| Lping | great :) | 12:04 |
| AryehGregor | Ytxx, what does "pwd" say? | 12:04 |
| Lping | I have a dissplay problem on Linux Mint 7 | 12:05 |
| Ytxx | ls: cannot access /home/.ssh: No such file or directory | 12:05 |
| Amaranth | daasdingo: Not with nvidia and (at least in karmic) intel | 12:05 |
| daasdingo | Amaranth: kk ;-) | 12:05 |
| Lping | Could anyone help | 12:05 |
| === kill is now known as Guest74385 | ||
| AryehGregor | Amaranth, Compiz tends to mess up some things from what I've heard . . . e.g., Wine strongly recommends turning it off. | 12:05 |
| Lping | I posted on their forum | 12:05 |
| Ytxx | pwd = "/" | 12:05 |
| === Guest74385 is now known as can_xyz | ||
| Munna | liping this should be taken to #linux-mint or #linux mint | 12:05 |
| Amaranth | AryehGregor: WINE also recommends turning off pulseaudio but we're getting a bit offtopic | 12:05 |
| daasdingo | Amaranth: wine games have never worked with compiz at my system with nvidia | 12:05 |
| Lping | I did try there | 12:05 |
| Lping | but noone is there to hel | 12:06 |
| AryehGregor | Ytxx, then ".ssh" means "/.ssh" for you. If you want to remove ".ssh" from your current directory, you need to do "rm -rf .ssh". | 12:06 |
| Lping | help | 12:06 |
| bazhang | !mintsupport | Lping | 12:06 |
| bazhang | Lping, mint is not supported here | 12:06 |
| Lping | noone is able to help at the moment | 12:06 |
| AryehGregor | Amaranth, PA works fine if you just use pasuspend all the time. Otherwise, yes, there are problems. | 12:06 |
| Lping | bazhang: I understand | 12:06 |
| Munna | but we support linux problems | 12:06 |
| AryehGregor | Amaranth, but the fact is, a lot of people want to use Wine, so . . . | 12:06 |
| PoLL` | Amaranth: i guess you guys never heard of a problem like this | 12:06 |
| Lping | but its a display GNOME issue | 12:06 |
| Munna | not linux MINT based | 12:06 |
| Munna | or join ##linux | 12:07 |

| bazhang | Munna, Lping ##linux for linux problems ; here is Ubuntu support only | 12:07 |

| Amaranth | PoLL`: The only thing similar I've heard of is a problem we had for a couple of days in karmic | 12:07 |
| bazhang | baha, wrong channel | 12:07 |
| lianimator | wow, why are there 3 floodbots? | 12:07 |
| daasdingo | Amaranth: I dont know about the state of compiz know, but a year ago with nvidia normal 3d apss didnt work either i think | 12:07 |

| PoLL` | Amaranth: i am using jaunty | 12:08 |

| Amaranth | PoLL`: Then it isn't related | 12:08 |

| PoLL` | Amaranth: can u tell me anyway? | 12:08 |
| The-Mewn | i use ubuntu and i have a question.... its with the totem movie player.... | 12:08 |
| Amaranth | PoLL`: So you go into Appearance and set effects to None and it automatically goes back to Normal? | 12:08 |
| Munna | baha: take this topic to another chanel | 12:08 |
| Munna | please | 12:08 |
| Amaranth | PoLL`: In karmic is was fixed with a package upgrade | 12:08 |
| koolhead | hmm | 12:09 |
| PoLL` | Amaranth: the other way around | 12:09 |
| Amaranth | PoLL`: Normal is compiz, you uninstalled compiz | 12:09 |
| PoLL` | Amaranth: from compiz desktop to normal | 12:09 |
| PoLL` | Amaranth: after that i remove compiz | 12:09 |
| Amaranth | PoLL`: None is metacity, all other choices are compiz | 12:09 |
| Amaranth | PoLL`: What happens when you set effects to None? | 12:09 |
| julemore | ty for apt-cahe search info | 12:10 |

| eyecandy | exit | 12:11 |
| Amaranth | PoLL`: btw, unless you reinstall compiz GNOME will not start anymore unless you have effects set to None | 12:11 |
| Munna | ahhh now it works thanks | 12:11 |
| lianimator | when is karmic scheduled to be released? exact time? | 12:11 |

| Munna | Amaranth why | 12:47 |
| jado | it's seems like an xml file, i just have to change the web directory on the top? | 12:47 |
| Ademan | Amjad__: did you install the php5-dev package?... | 12:47 |
| Amaranth | noob: Then the client you are using is not using pulseaudio and you are going to have lots of pain setting it up | 12:47 |
| Munna | Amaranth: why\ | 12:47 |
| Amjad__ | yes | 12:47 |
| Amaranth | Munna: Because x11vnc is apparently your problem | 12:48 |
| Ademan | jado: just change the part next to DocumentRoot | 12:48 |

| bazhang | IpSe_DiXiT, just loads of problems with that app; gnomebaker or just burn built into gnome are what I use generally (err nautilus I mean) | 13:28 |
| vigo | IpSe_DiXiT, Mine was doing a like thing, for a while, still does occasionally, I put a new Drive in and it stopped, but that is not the 'fix'. | 13:28 |
| IpSe_DiXiT | IdleOne: then what? | 13:29 |
| IdleOne | IpSe_DiXiT: use gnomebaker. | 13:29 |
| IdleOne | worked fine | 13:29 |
| IpSe_DiXiT | bazhang: gnomebaker ah? alright i'll uninstall brasero and try gnome baker out then, thanks for the tip | 13:30 |
| pubuntu | What file does "System > Administration > Login Window" actually modify? I'm trying to change the user that pubuntu auto logs in with? | 13:30 |

| Ytxx | Why do I get this error when I try to ssh to my remote server "Permission denied (publickey,keyboard-interactive)." ? | 14:23 |
| Astine | How do you uninstall a package/program with the command line? | 14:23 |
| Abhi1234 | I want to set up Jaunty chroot system not other like hardy, gutsy | 14:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Ytxx: does: ssh localhost work? (on the server you want to ssh to) | 14:23 |
| djbpython | new to linux, I installed firefox3.5 in the synaptic manager, but firefox still says its 3.0, what did i do wrong? | 14:24 |
| Schalla | Somebody got expierence with ubuntu, ndiswrapper and problems? XD | 14:24 |
| Ytxx | can anyone help ? | 14:24 |
| ActionParsnip | djbpython: sudo apt-get install firefox-3.5 | 14:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Ytxx: does: ssh localhost work? (on the server you want to ssh to) | 14:24 |
| rizzuh | Yay for HP replacing the Linux drivers with Windows 7 ones... | 14:25 |
| Ytxx | ActionParsnip: I can ssh as a admin user but not as Root | 14:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Astine: sudo apt-get --purge remove <package> | 14:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Ytxx: ssh as root is disabled | 14:25 |
| djbpython | ActionParsnip, apt-get says i already have the newest version | 14:26 |
| rizzuh | ActionParsnip, I don't know *what* to search for. | 14:26 |
| Abhi1234 | ActionParsnip: there is only dappe chroot, edgy, feisty,gusty,hardy. but not Jaunty I want that | 14:26 |
| djbpython | I have restarted firefox | 14:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Ytxx: sshing as root is really not advised at all, i'dgo as far as to say dumb | 14:26 |
| Ytxx | ActionParsnip: How can I enable it ? | 14:26 |
| trelayne | thanks ActionParsnip and everyone, worked like a charm! | 14:26 |
| paddeltje | Hystoriker: Actually, I think I'm not the one that should be helping you with this; not enough technical background I'm afraid. The document I pointed you to does have a praragraph on 'Configuring the GRUB Menu' and on 'Recovering GRUB Manually'. I figure those can be of help.... Sorry! | 14:26 |
| ActionParsnip | rizzuh: the output gives a product line stating how ubuntu sees your sound card, websearch that line | 14:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Ytxx: you dont, you ssh as your user and use sudo | 14:26 |
| Astine | Thank you ActionParsnip | 14:26 |
| racha | I need Help ..... any1 can help me ? please ppl i cant hear anything i will kill my self :S | 14:26 |
| Ytxx | ActionParsnip: ok ..I will not ssh as root but How can I enable it ? | 14:26 |
| racha | I need Help ..... any1 can help me ? please ppl i cant hear anything i will kill my self :S I cant get my sound cart to work | 14:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Ytxx: i dont know. all i know is it i disbaled and rightly so. evenif i knew i wouldnt tell you | 14:27 |
| Hystoriker | paddeltje: thanks anyway | 14:27 |
| King1 | ActionParsnip: bios is okay and all the other fn keys work and everything works well in windows, there are hundreds of threads about the brightness problem but nothing has resolved it yet | 14:27 |
| paddeltje | Hystoriker: yw! | 14:27 |
| Abhi1234 | Is there any difference between hardy and jaunty chroot? | 14:27 |
| rizzuh | ActionParsnip, actually, it lists two sound cards with a bunch of details, and for some reason, both seem to be the HDMI output, not the built-in sound card. | 14:27 |
| ActionParsnip | King1: looks like a known issue then | 14:27 |
| Ytxx | ActionParsnip: ok . . . | 14:27 |
| Pici | Abhi1234: Yes there is. Read the page that I linked you to, especially the part that mentions http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/d/debootstrap/ | 14:27 |
| nk | hi | 14:28 |
| ActionParsnip | rizzuh: can you pastebin the output of the command please | 14:28 |
| wolfwalker | Currently running Ubuntu 9.04 on a Gateway laptop. In current Ubuntu how/where do you change latency/buffer/period size/whatever you call it? | 14:28 |
| AryehGregor | "latency", "buffer", and "period" all mean totally different things. | 14:28 |
| nk | sorry :S | 14:28 |
| wolfwalker | I want to play my piano realtime with low latency, but the default buffer size makes playback lag. | 14:28 |
| rizzuh | ActionParsnip, http://paste.ubuntu.com/269172/ | 14:29 |
| ActionParsnip | rizzuh: i'd shoot for SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA) | 14:29 |
| Ytxx | ActionParsnip: I guess I am going to rebuild it again | 14:29 |
| ionut_ | Hey guys! Is it true that compiling the source of a program will generate a faster running binary then the prebuild ones? | 14:29 |
| wolfwalker | AryehGregor whichever I need to change............ how do you edit sound card settings? | 14:30 |
| === Unibob is now known as DJ_Unibob|laptop | ||
| wolfwalker | ionut_ that's the whole theory behind gentoo linux............ but the speed increase is usually not worth it. | 14:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Ytxx: you never need to ssh as root, its unnecessary | 14:30 |
| sipior | ionut_: well, the pre-built binaries are also generated by compiling the source of the programme... | 14:30 |
| MenZa | ionut_: what wolfwalker said. | 14:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Ytxx: also allowing it reduces security as the account name is common and will be a primary attack by intruders | 14:30 |
| racha | I need Help ..... any1 can help me ? please ppl i cant hear anything i will kill my self :S I cant get my sound cart to work | 14:30 |
| MenZa | !audio | racha | 14:31 |
| ubottu | racha: 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 | 14:31 |
| ActionParsnip | racha: run: lspci | grep -i audio | 14:31 |
| sipior | ionut_: if you're careless in selecting compilation options, you can even make the thing slightly slower. | 14:31 |
| Ytxx | ActionParsnip: that's why I want to know ...maybe somone else has access | 14:31 |
| Myrtti | racha threats wont get you anywhere | 14:31 |
| ActionParsnip | racha: that identifies the sound card, you can now websearch for that and you will find guides | 14:31 |
| Ytxx | ActionParsnip: somone else changed the password | 14:31 |
| ManDay | can i get rid of all the dictionary stuff without having to uninstall openoffice and such? | 14:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Ytxx: which password was changed? | 14:32 |
| ionut_ | I think I will compile PostgreSQL from source because 8.4 hasn't been backported to Jaunty :( | 14:32 |
| ActionParsnip | ManDay: i think its a dep | 14:32 |
| ManDay | ActionParsnip, yep, synaptic says so - but why? i dont want to use spellcheck and stuff | 14:32 |
| ManDay | can i force a purge? | 14:32 |
| rednammoc | i'm running windows on my virtual box and installed the virtual box guest additions. before i installed virtual box guest additions i pressed "right ctrl" and a menue appeared in which i could mount whatever i wanted. but now nothing happens :/ can someone tell me how to mount media ? | 14:32 |
| ManDay | and ignore deps? | 14:32 |
| racha | ActionParsnip, problem is there i cant find any guides ... | 14:33 |
| ActionParsnip | ManDay: you could compile it to not need it but the standard debs need it | 14:33 |
| ActionParsnip | racha: ok can you give me the line my command outputted please | 14:33 |
| racha | ActionParsnip i knowe what Sound Car i use ... - ActionParsnip | 14:33 |
| ActionParsnip | racha: i want to know how ubuntu sees it, not what you know/think it is | 14:34 |
| racha | ActionParsnip, sorry but i am new with ubuntu so u will need to explai me | 14:34 |
| ManDay | ActionParsnip, can i just remove the dictionary stuff and hope that ooo will not fail? | 14:34 |
| ActionParsnip | racha: lspci | grep -i audio | 14:34 |
| ActionParsnip | ManDay: its not a critical part, so shouldnt fail | 14:34 |
| th0r | rednammoc: at the top of the window is a menu for devices | 14:34 |
| racha | ActionParsnip, and what to copy u ? | 14:35 |

| ManDay | can this be bloody true? i removed almost everything dictionary related i could without breaking essential deps and the damn dictionary still helps me finding words!!!! | 14:40 |

| wolfwalker | Jack you have to right click in a blank area on the existing bar. | 14:42 |
| ActionParsnip | racha: you need to remove HDA Intel first, if the command doesnt work, try finding a way to rmmod it | 14:42 |

| rednammoc | th0r: after installing these "guest additions" all windows are included in my normal desktop | 14:42 |
| ActionParsnip | calwig: gimp maybe | 14:42 |
| th0r | rednammoc: if you aren't in full screen mode then there should be a menu bar at the top, if you are in full screen mode RightCtrl-F should get you back to windowed mode | 14:43 |
| wolfwalker | calwig try Gimp | 14:43 |
| racha | ActionParsnip, how to remove HDA Intel ? | 14:43 |
| Astine | Jack you can also get the avant window navigator. Which will do the same job. | 14:43 |
| ActionParsnip | racha: you'll need sudo rmmod but i'm unsure of the sytax, use websearching to find out | 14:43 |
| racha | ActionParsnip, its my first time using ubuntu ... | 14:43 |

| wolfwalker | Where do you access sound card settings like dmix period size? I want to reduce sound card output latency so I can play a piano in real time. If someone could direct me to a template .asoundrc file I could edit and drop in my home folder, or tell me how to make my own, I'd be grateful. | 14:44 |
| ActionParsnip | racha: its not, its just different to what you have used before for so long | 14:44 |
| th0r | rednammoc: or you might be in seamless mode...RightCtrl-L | 14:44 |

| SixtyFold | Can someone who has done it explain to me about installing Ubuntu in windows option? | 14:47 |
| Pici | racha: sudo rmmod snd_hda_intel | 14:47 |
| SixtyFold | Does it let you change between windows and Ubuntu in windows or is it like a dual boot? | 14:47 |
| racha | Pici, sudo rmmod snd_hda_intel | 14:48 |
| IdleOne | SixtyFold: it's like a dual boot | 14:48 |

| IdleOne | wolfwalker: and yes you can install all the apps you use with Ubuntu in Studio | 14:49 |
| ActionParsnip | racha: you could blacklist the module, then probe in the right module | 14:49 |

| yggdrasil | ActionParsnip: yes! its the newest | 15:03 |
| ActionParsnip | yggdrasil: then you may also install plugins from the medibuntu repo, this may help | 15:03 |
| Odo | miguelonnnn, have you tryed aptitude show packagename | 15:03 |
| miguelonnnn | ok i'll try thx ersul but showpkg actually works, it's just it doesn't show what the pakage does, only dependancies and that stuff | 15:03 |

| ActionParsnip | tim167: its offtopic here | 15:09 |
| racha | ActionParsnip, so it need to be "blacklist snd_intel_hda" | 15:10 |

| clj2289_ | hi, I'd like to run postgresql 8.4, but that's only in the 9.10 release, is there an easy way of using a backport of the postgresql package or am I better off running the alpha version of ubuntu if I want to use the packages that are bundled in that release... | 15:32 |
| Halitech | ansis, do you have windows installed and does it boot? | 15:32 |
| ansis | Halitech, I do not have windows. | 15:32 |
| yinlong | lb_,dev/sda1. | 15:33 |
| Halitech | ansis, ok ... can you boot an older kernel? | 15:33 |
| cornet | matthewbpt: i'm really not convinced on that argument at all - linux on workstation genreally only starts hitting swap when i fill my RAM up. if you were to fill ram up with no swap then the kernel may start to kill off random processes in an attemtpt to gain some memory back (and it's often not that intelligent about it) | 15:33 |
| ansis | Halitech, nop the same applies to older kernels. Where to diagnose Hard Disk errors? | 15:34 |
| matthewbpt | swap still gets filled up even when ram isnt full... | 15:34 |
| thiebaude | !swap | 15:34 |
| cornet | matthewbpt: a better solution IMO would be to set vm.swappiness accordingly so it doesn't hit the swap | 15:34 |
| ubottu | 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 | 15:34 |
| Halitech | ansis, might want to look into ultimate boot cd to test the drive | 15:34 |
| matthewbpt | cornet: true you could do that too, but i chose to disable swap because also the ssds have less disk space, so the space is more precious | 15:35 |
| yinlong | lb_,and then? | 15:35 |
| lb_ | yinlong: have you tried rightclicking on /dev/sda1 in gparted and the " | 15:35 |
| zww | i | 15:35 |
| lb_ | yinlong: "Size/Remove"? | 15:35 |
| lb_ | yinlong: Resize/Move, of course | 15:36 |
| lb_ | yinlong: then there's the dialog. You cannot make it bigger from here, I suspect since another partition ought to start right thereafter | 15:36 |
| yinlong | lb_,i don't the mark of Resize/Move. | 15:36 |
| KRyPTyK | Does anyone have any experience using FOG imaging on Ubuntu? | 15:37 |
| lb_ | yinlong: what do you mean? | 15:37 |
| yinlong | lb_,sorry,i mean i don't see the mark of Resize/Move . | 15:37 |
| ansis | Halitech, actually I am thinking that this might be a Hardware error. Right now It booted! I bet that after 10minutes it will freeze again. Where to look for bootup error logs? | 15:37 |

| Sidewinder1 | kudi> I don't have comcast, :-) but I've read they look closely at the upload; what speed triggers action I don't know. Perhaps you could look into Verizon. | 15:40 |
| lb_ | yinlong: If not, make sure you are running gparted with root rights and that you do have selected the right partition. How does it look for you? Here's a screenshot of my gparted: http://i25.tinypic.com/euilao.gif | 15:40 |

| thevdi | sipior, no. I can see why that is important ;-) | 15:49 |
| duffydack | thevdi, its /etc/rc.local | 15:50 |
| duffydack | isnt it? | 15:50 |
| thevdi | duffydack, are you sure? OK, I'm actually using Mint but it should be the same, right? | 15:50 |
| yinlong | lb_,but i don't know how to upload the image into a url,i don't have a website myself. | 15:50 |
| duffydack | im not too good with that stuff | 15:50 |
| duffydack | thevdi, well thats what ive used in the past | 15:50 |
| duffydack | thevdi, it will be,yes | 15:51 |
| sipior | duffydack: both exist. /etc/rc.local is run, if it exists. | 15:51 |
| thevdi | duffydack, in some of the examples I've seen, it's said about /etc/init.d/rc.local. Do you know what the difference might be ? | 15:51 |
| sipior | duffydack: to be clearer, the job of /etc/init.d/rc.local is to run /etc/rc.local :-) | 15:52 |
| duffydack | thevdi, no idea. all I know is I used /etc/rc.local when I had something startup | 15:52 |
| kim_ | hello can some one give me directions on what to do to stop random re loging in and out 9.4 | 15:52 |
| Sidewinder1 | yinlong>Depending on your IRC client, try right clicking on lb_'s nick then click on "send file" | 15:52 |
| thevdi | sipior, which is best to use for startup? Or doesn't it matter ? | 15:52 |
| Dunge | erUSUL : As I see, fat will always fuck up names if it's all in uppercase of all in lower case, wheter I use any shortname mode... that's crappy | 15:52 |
| sipior | thevdi: you'll want to use /etc/rc.local | 15:52 |
| thevdi | sipior, ok, thanks. I'll try it with the full path, too. Thanks all | 15:53 |
| erUSUL | Dunge: the price for MS compatibility i guess | 15:53 |
| Dunge | erUSUL : When I create a file in windows all in uppercase, it don't transform it automatically on mount.. | 15:54 |
| yinlong | lb_,get it. | 15:54 |
| Dunge | only linux mount do that | 15:54 |
| sipior | kim_: what do you mean by random logging in and out? | 15:54 |
| Dunge | kinda strange if you ask me | 15:54 |
| Dunge | "Display the short name as is; store a long name when the short name is not all upper case." | 15:55 |
| erUSUL | Dunge: dunno what to add. there is some reason i'm sure for this | 15:55 |
| yinlong | lb_,i am sending the printscreen to you,please receive it. | 15:55 |

| sipior | thevdi: you might try redirecting stdout and stderr to /dev/null. | 16:09 |
| thevdi | sipior, how do I do that? Also, should I have a message in the log as to why it isn't starting? | 16:09 |

I changed the card out to a fx5200 and after trying a couple ideas from the group, my disply is no longer using the nvidia drivers. How can I change it back so the xconfig uses the nvidia drivers? The default doesnt give me enough resolution. | 18:06 |

| ubuntucrashed | Halitech: run xfix in tty? | 18:10 |
| Halitech | ubuntucrashed, you could try it with sudo but I think it only runs from the single user mode in grub | 18:10 |

| fccf | Shrey_: You are running Jaunty?? yes? | 18:12 |
| ubuntucrashed | Halitech: while in grub | 18:12 |
| Shrey_ | fccf: yes | 18:12 |
| Halitech | ubuntucrashed, no, when you see grub, select the single user mode (might be called recovery mode) and you should get an option to run xfix | 18:12 |
| ubuntucrashed | Halitech: ok thanks, im going to try it.. | 18:13 |
| fccf | adding this deb line to /etc/apt/sources.list will enable the oo 3.1.1 repository and you can upgrade to the ppa from there 'deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/openoffice-pkgs/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main' | 18:13 |

| sascha_ | Hi, is anyone experienced with multimonitor / xinerama / twinview / sli ? | 18:42 |
| abhi69 | how can i use gnome-format as normal user & format my USB drive? | 18:42 |
| hacktop | my kde does not have the startup Gnome has | 18:42 |
| abhi69 | any information? | 18:42 |
| PerryArmstrong | can anyone have a look at this: http://imagebin.org/63485...I am not able to see the flash images...can anyone give me the solution | 18:42 |
| abhi69 | olz | 18:42 |
| Berzerker- | hacktop, ok create a text file with that command as the only line, then save it as a .sh file and place it in /home/yourname.kde/Autostart | 18:42 |
| ManDay | its not THAT bad, jp210168 - but its not smooth either. and i think it should scroll smoothly, even though its just an atom processor and onboard graphics. | 18:42 |
| jp210168 | ManDay: netbook? | 18:43 |
| ManDay | yes jp210168 | 18:43 |
| jp210168 | um, wow | 18:43 |
| ManDay | wow? | 18:43 |
| sascha_ | ManDay, videochip? | 18:43 |
| gencha | i am trying to install 8.04.3 x64 on an ibm x3650 m2 server. after booting from cd into the setup, it tells me that it can't mount the cd. any pointers? | 18:43 |
| ManDay | intel xyz, its an eee pc | 18:43 |
| Turbolinux | Halitech, what I must do? | 18:43 |
| jp210168 | intel chips, so it shouldn't be that slow | 18:43 |
| ManDay | i suppose it shouldnt | 18:43 |
| Etu | I got problems with conkeror in ubuntu, It does not rad my ~/.conkerorrc | 18:43 |
| abhi69 | how can i use gnome-format as normal user & format my USB pendrive? | 18:44 |
| ManDay | its not that awful, as i said - but i expected it to be smooth | 18:44 |
| jp210168 | there's better support for intel that nv or amd, but still.... | 18:44 |
| ManDay | which it is not | 18:44 |
| abhi69 | any answer? | 18:44 |
| jp210168 | that's weird | 18:44 |
| sascha_ | ManDay, definately not normal. try to nail it down: read xorg.log, disable compiz, use differen wm ... | 18:44 |
| Etu | I want to configure my conkeror :) | 18:44 |
| jp210168 | yeah, dont use compiz with onboard gfx | 18:44 |
| ManDay | urgh, a little overkill. i was hoping someone had an idea sascha_ | 18:44 |
| sascha_ | jp210168, compiz works great on my intel gma950 tablet, its even rotated | 18:44 |
| hacktop | thank you berzerker | 18:44 |
| jp210168 | how fast is it? | 18:45 |
| Pici | ManDay: When you mean laggy, do you mean that its not scrolling smoothly between lines, or does it look like its jumping a few lines at a time? | 18:45 |
| jp210168 | im using a 8600gt card | 18:45 |
| moonshine | i cant install the s3 driver from anywhere...any help with that? | 18:45 |
| ManDay | Pici, errm both - not quite sure where the difference | 18:45 |
| hacktop | rebooting now | 18:45 |
| abhi69 | i am asking again....how can i use gnome-format as normal user & format my USB pendrive? | 18:45 |
| sascha_ | jp210168, flawless except for 1 or 2 effects (water or fire or something) | 18:45 |
| ManDay | Pici, sascha_, jp210168 it's smooth by the way when in a small sized window | 18:46 |
| jp210168 | Does anyone know if the new AMD drivers for 4670 HD have improved by any? | 18:46 |
| moonshine | well? | 18:46 |
| ManDay | only in fullscreen it lags | 18:46 |
| jp210168 | I have another card I want to use, but I have to use a 8600gt because it's sadly much faster | 18:46 |
| sascha_ | ManDay, plz describe precisly what is lagging. would moving any large window around lag? | 18:46 |
| ManDay | how do i update my graphics driver? | 18:46 |
| Pici | ManDay: Do you have lots of compiz graphics enabled? Like transparency, blur, etc? | 18:46 |
| SixtyFold | anyone know why i would have ubuntu in VPC 2007, running NAT and I can use my network but I cant get a connection to the internet, like, I can use the VM to remote desktop to machines in my LAN but I cant get it to go out on the net? | 18:46 |
| moonshine | i cant install the s3 driver from anywhere...any help with that? | 18:47 |
| dixie_bo_ | how do I fix this: (EE) SIS(0): Illegal video RAM size (262144K) detected, using BIOS-provided info. [symptoms are a distorted screen] | 18:47 |
| grawity | SixtyFold: wait, you actually managed to run Ubuntu in VPC 2007? :O | 18:47 |
| SixtyFold | yes | 18:47 |
| SixtyFold | hehe | 18:47 |
| ManDay | no sascha_ actually most of the stuff works smoothly - even most of the basci compiz effects. the more sophisticated effects like wobbling windows cause problems though - i hence have them disabled - i think thats normal for a netbook tho | 18:47 |
| jp210168 | dixie_bo_: try adjusting amount of video RAM shared by graphics? | 18:47 |
| ManDay | Pici, i have a minimum of compiz enabled | 18:47 |
| SixtyFold | first of all, i accomplished that feet of getting Ubuntu 9.04 to run in Virtual PC 2007 | 18:47 |
| jp210168 | there should be an option in xorg.config | 18:47 |
| ManDay | mostly just the exposee and desktop wall features | 18:47 |
| ManDay | yes, the terminal is semi transparent | 18:48 |
| sascha_ | ManDay, ok but you really should TURN OFF compiz to rule it out | 18:48 |
| SixtyFold | it only runs 896x600 screen resolution but it all works, except for the networking, which for some reason | 18:48 |
| linduxed | i just installed the 2.6.31 kernel and after reboot it gets all the way up to GDM, but it stops with a black screen right before loading it. Currently back at 2.6.30 | 18:48 |
| ManDay | ok sasha, ill try | 18:48 |
| grawity | SixtyFold: Ah, I remember now using it once. It probably was Debian then which I never managed to run. | 18:48 |
| dixie_bo_ | jp210168: is that via the bios or via the os? | 18:48 |
| SixtyFold | it will let me connect to my router with NAT, but wont go out to the internet | 18:48 |
| grawity | SixtyFold: In the VM settings, what is the NIC #1 set to? | 18:48 |
| sascha_ | ManDay, even without effect just the compositor could slow things down | 18:48 |
| SixtyFold | i can use a VM of windows XP on the same machine, and use nat and it goes to the net fine | 18:48 |
| dixie_bo_ | jp210168: if it helps, this computer boots up windows perfectly | 18:48 |
| dixie_bo_ | jp210168: no distortions whatsoever. | 18:48 |
| jp210168 | dixie_bo_: there should be an option for amount of RAM used by graphics, check xorg.config file or man s3 | 18:48 |
| SixtyFold | grawity, what you mean what is it set to? | 18:48 |
| Travis-42 | I've figured out how to send web browser traffic through an ssh connection. How can I do that for everything else (e.g. system updates) | 18:48 |
| dixie_bo_ | jp210168: ok thanks | 18:49 |
| ManDay | sascha_, how can i turn of compiz completely? | 18:49 |
| SixtyFold | its my nvidia network controller | 18:49 |
| andrew__ | how do i see what my graphic card is | 18:49 |
| sascha_ | ManDay, in the appearance thing | 18:49 |
| jp210168 | dixie_bo_: edit: man sis | 18:49 |
| jp210168 | wrong man page | 18:49 |
| rww | linduxed: what type of graphics card do you have? | 18:49 |
| grawity | SixtyFold: Bridge, okay... (I thought you have set it as NAT.) and it's the same NIC that is connected to Internet? | 18:49 |
| SixtyFold | i tried to use that just alone, didnt even connect to the router, NAT is the only way it connects to even the router, but the router isnt showing it really | 18:49 |
| linduxed | rww: nvidia | 18:49 |
| ubuntucrashed | ahhhhhhhh!!! this is frustrating | 18:49 |
| ensi | hello, what happened to /etc/resolv.conf in ubuntu 9.04? how can i set dns address? | 18:50 |
| linduxed | rww: hmmm that could be it | 18:50 |
| sascha_ | mandara, what version of ubuntu / intel driver do you use? | 18:50 |
| grawity | ensi: NetworkManager now handles such things. | 18:50 |
| andrew__ | how do you get to your graphic hard on ubuntu | 18:50 |
| ensi | grawity: not installed | 18:50 |
| ManDay | sascha_, jp210168 i turned off compiz and it sstill lags as much as before (when in fullscreen or maximized) | 18:50 |
| ensi | need cmn line | 18:50 |
| sascha_ | mandara, would scrolling a webpage lag? | 18:50 |
| `c00 | good morning! | 18:50 |
| grawity | ensi: /etc/resolvconf/ then? | 18:50 |
| Turbolinux | Must I use SSH service for secure logging? | 18:50 |
| ensi | grawity: uh how does that work? | 18:50 |
| jp210168 | ManDay: xorg.config, the option that says "AccelMethod", what do you get | 18:50 |
| rww | linduxed: I've been having problems with .31 and ATI, dunno about nvidia. Seems like they've been doing a lot of experimental graphics stuff in .31, so I'm gonna stay on .30. | 18:50 |
| grawity | ensi: I have totally no idea. (I use Arch now.) | 18:50 |
| grawity | Turbolinux: Basically, yes. | 18:50 |
| jp210168 | edit: xorg.conf | 18:51 |
| `c00 | how do you turnoff gnome without the need to restart? | 18:51 |
| grawity | SixtyFold: Does the VM get an IP address assigned? | 18:51 |
| SixtyFold | grawity, what do you mean its the same NIC thats connected to the internet? | 18:51 |
| SixtyFold | yes | 18:51 |
| ubuntucrashed | jp210168: it didnt work, it said that the aticonfig command was not f=recognized | 18:51 |
| SixtyFold | it gets a IP address | 18:51 |
| grawity | `c00: By stopping GDM. | 18:51 |
| ManDay | my xorg.config is empty iirc jp210168 - i ll have a look tho | 18:51 |
| ensi | yet again ubuntu fails to surprise, broken out of the box and old tricks do not work cause everything has been changed. | 18:51 |
| SixtyFold | it recognizes my router as default as well, all the normal stuff | 18:51 |

| dixie_bo_ | jp210168: man s3 sais there is no such man page :( | 18:52 |
| jp210168 | dixie_bo_: man sis, sorry it was wrong one | 18:52 |
| ManDay | ah jeez, i shouldnt have disabled compiz now all my damn settings are lost !!! | 18:52 |
| moonshine | anyone helping me with s3 driver? | 18:52 |
| SixtyFold | like, i just loaded XP up in VPC 2007 and its running on google just fine | 18:53 |
| SixtyFold | if i could remote desktop a machine with ubuntu i would think it would be able to then access the internet, haha | 18:53 |
| g33k79 | does anyone know of a pw-inspector already in the repos? 8.10 | 18:53 |
| g33k79 | well somethinglike it | 18:54 |
| Pici | g33k79: What is a pw-inspector? | 18:54 |
| Aethelred | I'm looking at Netbooks. Halitech suggested System76. Anyone else have experience or recommendations on a GNU/Linux netbook? | 18:54 |
| tosmo | i'm trying to run xephyr with extra keyboard and mouse via evdev. it worked with hardy, i just updated to jaunty and now i get "Failed to open evdev device". maybe it's because the underlying xorg server accesses the concerning mouse and keyboard, although i didn't configure it to do so in xorg.conf | 18:54 |
| g33k79 | trims wordlists | 18:54 |
| Turbolinux | Does RealVNC support SSH service? | 18:54 |
| Aethelred | The System76 Starling has a pretty small screen. I would prefer one that was a little larger. | 18:54 |
| g33k79 | like pw-inspector -m 8 -M 63 > newpasswdlist.txt | 18:55 |

| simeon_ | ey there, well, got a question: i got internetconnection throu a network card, and i have a "anonymizer service" that works over vpn, it ofcource requiers a internet connetion, the vpn connect alright, but then I like to route all internet traffic thru the vpn connetion, it shows up like a device in ifconfig, ppp0. How do I do that? Iptables? | 18:58 |
| simeon_ | after i connected the vpn, internet traffic still goes thru the eth0 configuration | 18:58 |
| Pici | g33k79: I'm not familar with such an application, you could try searching the repositories yourself though. | 18:58 |
| nanotube | Travis-42: try system -> preferences -> network | 18:58 |
| grawity | simeon_: Try 'route' | 18:58 |
| Travis-42 | grawity: well mainly seems more secure when I'm on an untrusted wireless connection | 18:58 |
| grawity | Travis-42: I highly doubt it. | 18:58 |
| Travis-42 | nanotube: that doesn't apply to everything, only certain gnome applications | 18:58 |
| moonshine | can anyone tell me with which version of gcc, the kernel 2.6.28-15 is compiled? | 18:58 |
| grawity | Travis-42: If the proxy doesn't use encryption, then it adds exactly zero security. | 18:59 |
| Travis-42 | grawity: well I'm using ssh to connect to my home PC. | 18:59 |
| nanotube | Travis-42: well, apt doesn't need to be "secure", since package signing keys are verified upon download, anyway. | 18:59 |
| ensi | dns, anyone, how to set? | 18:59 |
| grawity | Travis-42: ssh has an option to create a very simple VPN. | 18:59 |
| Travis-42 | nanotube: ah, ok, well maybe that's not such a big deal then | 19:00 |
| Travis-42 | grawity: I'll read about that too, anyways | 19:00 |
| nanotube | Travis-42: but as far as setting apt in particular to use proxy, it can be set in apt.conf somewhere | 19:00 |
| Travis-42 | it also seems like it would just be simpler to convert everything at once to use the secure connection to home, rather than to go into each application individually and switch it | 19:01 |
| moonshine | noone helps me... | 19:01 |
| grawity | Travis-42: That's what a VPN does. | 19:01 |
| seidos | seidos: hello | 19:01 |
| Travis-42 | ok, thank you grawity | 19:01 |
| moonshine | grawity, can you tell me with which version of gcc, the kernel 2.6.28-15 is compiled? | 19:02 |
| grawity | Travis-42: You can try setting up OpenVPN, or using the tun device support in ssh, or something else. | 19:02 |
| grawity | moonshine: No. | 19:02 |

| halfmoon | ok sry vista has that fun option :) | 19:56 |
| ubuntu | halfmoon: vista cant resize either without erasing data. thats why i want to use ubuntu to do it, plus im going to be using grub as my bootloader | 19:57 |
| Naikrovek | vista CAN resize without destroying data, I think win7 certainly can | 19:57 |
| mordof | they really added that? o.o | 19:57 |
| AryehGregor | Anything should be able to resize without destroying data, if it can recognize the filesystem. | 19:57 |
| halfmoon | i would suggest looking up a third party partitioner that can do that on google if im wrong mordof will know | 19:57 |
| Keiichi | i am on windows now, but is ubuntu have any irc clinet installed? | 19:57 |
| mordof | that's surprising | 19:57 |
| ubuntu | erUSUL: i checked, it is not mounted. i can give you the error flag that it gives me | 19:57 |
| cornet | Naikrovek: not if the parition it's resizing is != NTFS or FAT32 | 19:57 |
| AryehGregor | Keiichi, you can install tons, just search for IRC in Add/Remove Applications. | 19:58 |
| erUSUL | ubuntu: if it is large use pastebin | 19:58 |
| GLG | in jaunty, does any1 know the new command for linkstatus with conky? | 19:58 |
| cornet | Naikrovek: the partition software needs to know about the filesystem in order to do the resize | 19:58 |
| Naikrovek | cornet: well of course not. you can't even run win7 on anything but NTFS | 19:58 |
| dbuell | Keiichi: Ubuntu has pidgin for IRC | 19:58 |
| Keiichi | ok, thanks i will check, reboot | 19:58 |
| AryehGregor | Pidgin for IRC is evil. Use XChat or KVIRC or something. | 19:58 |
| mordof | halfmoon: gparted is the linux partition manager, which is what he's trying to use, but it's throwing errors working with a 'dirty' partition.. or unmounted is my guess.. | 19:58 |
| mordof | ubuntu: did the partition get locked open from an unclean shutdown? | 19:58 |
| cornet | AryehGregor: or irssi :) | 19:58 |
| halfmoon | ohhhhh ok | 19:59 |
| Lancien | re | 19:59 |
| AryehGregor | mordof, if it says it's dirty, just start up Windows so it will remount it cleanly. | 19:59 |
| halfmoon | see i understood only the basics of his issue | 19:59 |
| AryehGregor | Or ubuntu or whoever has the problem. | 19:59 |
| mordof | AryehGregor: yeah | 19:59 |
| GLG | who knows conky?? need help plz | 19:59 |
| AryehGregor | cornet, I was figuring that if he asked that kind of question, he'd prefer not to use irssi for now. :) | 19:59 |
| ubuntu | mordof: AryehGregor, no, it was a clean shutdown. | 19:59 |
| AryehGregor | ubuntu, what does the error say? That it's unclean? | 19:59 |
| jordanwb | when a user logs into my server via ssh, how to I jail them into their home directory? | 20:00 |
| Anzo | hello everyone, i am having trouble installing kino and dv grab from tar.gz | 20:00 |
| mordof | AryehGregor: yeah, normally it'll say it's locked open.. but a 'dirty' partition or whatever was the problem isa bit different | 20:00 |
| mordof | i'm not quite sure what the problem is | 20:00 |
| ubuntu | gparted says "WARNING: This disk has bad sectors. This means physical damage on the disk sufrface caused by etc, etc, etc" Recommend you chdksk /r. I ran a chkdsk via bart-pe and it didnt find any errors | 20:00 |
| ubuntu | kind of baffled | 20:00 |
| AryehGregor | jordanwb, kind of tricky, since they typically need to be able to access /bin, /usr, etc. Why do you want to do this? | 20:00 |
| mordof | ubuntu: did you include the /r flag? | 20:01 |
| halfmoon | oh you know what i had that same problem | 20:01 |
| ubuntu | mordof: yes indeed | 20:01 |
| halfmoon | at one point | 20:01 |
| kasha | hi | 20:01 |
| Anzo | Ubuntu i have noticed the issue when it comes to bad windows installs | 20:01 |
| kasha | where is pidgin directory ??? | 20:01 |
| halfmoon | i would suggest a disk defrag | 20:01 |
| jordanwb | AryehGregor: mainly I don't want them browsing the other user's home directory | 20:01 |
| halfmoon | helped me | 20:01 |
| kasha | i nead to read all journal | 20:01 |
| AryehGregor | jordanwb, Unix permissions don't allow them to. | 20:01 |
| Anzo | Ubuntu go ahead and try and do a quick format via ntfs on a windows machine and install | 20:01 |
| kasha | ubuntu 9/04 | 20:01 |
| mordof | anzo: he's got data he's trying to save | 20:01 |
| AryehGregor | jordanwb, just make sure all other users' home directories are go-x, like: chmod go-x /home/* as root. | 20:01 |
| zzOOOzz | Hi guys, is there any french people here who could give me tips about building a homemade Numericable decoder? | 20:01 |
| Anzo | Oh | 20:01 |
| Anzo | sorry | 20:02 |
| ubuntu | Anzo: I'm trying not to wipe out my XP partition | 20:02 |
| cornet | jordanwb: you'll either need to install openssh-server 5 or set the umask correctly | 20:02 |
| zzOOOzz | (sorry I know it's not really the topic here) | 20:02 |
| AryehGregor | Or you can set it -r instead of -x, depending. | 20:02 |
| Anzo | Are you trying to repartition all back to windows | 20:02 |
| ubuntu | Anzo: I'm trying to create a drive to put Ubuntu on, I have XP installed. im on an ubuntu livecd right now | 20:02 |
| jordanwb | AryehGregor: right now my user (which was created during install) can browse the other user's home directory | 20:02 |
| mordof | zzOOOzz: can't help you with that, sorry.. a) not french, b) not 100% sure what a numericable decoder would do | 20:03 |
| AryehGregor | jordanwb, what's the output of "sudo ls -lh /home"? | 20:03 |
| mordof | jordanwb: then the permissions on that user are set wrong o.o | 20:03 |
| Anzo | Ok i have hit this issue before the solution was a reformat sadly. But you can try and defrag in windows, and then runs a disk check then install | 20:03 |
| dbuell | zzOOOzz: #ubuntu-fr | 20:03 |
| === rp3__ is now known as Rp3 | ||
| ubuntu | Anzo: Ok thanks anyways. | 20:03 |
| Anzo | it wont install because the windows os is so spread out ubuntu doesnt want to replace a system file so it cant find enough space to install | 20:03 |
| jordanwb | AryehGregor: right now after running your command, my user cannot see what files are in what dir, only the dir themselves | 20:04 |
| AryehGregor | jordanwb, what do you mean? | 20:04 |
| tosmo | can i configure the hal-system not to use certain input devices at all? | 20:04 |
| G_A_C | Anzo: have you thought about running a defrag tool in windows and forcing all your data to the top of the partition? I believe JKDefrag can do this, and it's free | 20:04 |
| _delirium | I installed the latest Ubuntu 9.04 updates over the last couple of days and now Firefox wont run - if i launch it from bash shell it says "Bus error" - any ideas how I can fix this? | 20:04 |
| Anzo | G_A_C that should be sent do Ubuntu | 20:04 |
| jordanwb | AryehGregor: as non-root, I can see the folders in another user's directory, but not the files themselves. | 20:04 |
| G_A_C | Anzo: sorry, that was for ubuntu :) | 20:05 |
| G_A_C | got your nicks mixed up as I was reading it | 20:05 |
| Anzo | Ubuntu G_A_C has another program that will do the same thing i suggested | 20:05 |
| AryehGregor | jordanwb, what does "sudo ls -al /home" output? | 20:05 |
| ubuntu | G_A_C: That's a thought, is there a defrag tool in Ubuntu I can use? Kinda lazy to switch OSes :) | 20:05 |
| mordof | anyone know how to turn off the '<user> has left', entered from being shown in pidgin? | 20:05 |
| jordanwb | drwxr--r-- for bother users' home folders | 20:05 |
| cornet | jordanwb: edit /etc/profile at the bottom of the file you'll see "umask 022" change this to "umask 077" which means all new files/folders will be read/write ONLY by the user that created them | 20:06 |
| thecarlhall | Anybody using Karmic? Is it stable enough to use on the regular assuming the usual 'it's alpha so beware'? | 20:06 |
| mordof | ubuntu: i believe JKDefrag was mentioned? i think | 20:06 |
| erUSUL | !karmic | thecarlhall | 20:06 |
| ubottu | thecarlhall: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 29th, 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 | 20:06 |
| cornet | thecarlhall: best asking that in #ubuntu+1 | 20:06 |
| AryehGregor | jordanwb, you could do "chmod 700 /home/*". Or 711 instead of 700. | 20:06 |
| G_A_C | ubuntu, I don't believe so, no. And I would rather defrag NTFS from its native operating system, that's pretty IO intensive and I'd hate to show up an ntfs-3g bug in ubuntu | 20:06 |
| thecarlhall | cornet: thanks | 20:06 |
| cornet | thecarlhall: np | 20:06 |
| jordanwb | AryehGregor: okay thanks | 20:06 |
| ubuntu | mordof: i think that was mentioned as a free windows program | 20:06 |
| ubuntu | G_A_C: that is a good point. thanks man | 20:06 |
| AryehGregor | cornet, that shouldn't be necessary if they're in a 700 /home . . . | 20:06 |
| mordof | ubuntu: ah, ok | 20:07 |
| cornet | AryehGregor: if they know the full path to the file then they can still read/write/execute it if the permissions allow | 20:07 |
| AryehGregor | cornet, not if /home is -x for them. | 20:07 |
| AryehGregor | cornet, -x on a directory doesn't allow navigation to even a known filename below it. | 20:07 |
| Anzo | Ok, so i seem to be having issues with some packages installing. The make command isnt working and i think i am just missing something | 20:07 |
| dbuell | Anzo: you are going to need to be a bit more specific. | 20:08 |
| trism | mordof: there is apparently a join/part plugin you can load to hide them | 20:08 |
| AryehGregor | cornet, $ mkdir /tmp/test; touch /tmp/test/test; chmod 666 /tmp/test; touch /tmp/test/test | 20:08 |
| AryehGregor | touch: cannot touch `/tmp/test/test': Permission denied | 20:08 |
| Anzo | I am attempting to install kino 1.3.4 as the older version decided to start chashing on me | 20:08 |
| kasha | hey guys! can sumbody tell me where is pidgin directory?? need help a lot! thanx | 20:08 |
| dreamborn | My sound is just putting out static. My headphones work in windows but not ubuntu, all i get is light static | 20:08 |
| Anzo | When i attempt to install /run the make command after configure i get | 20:08 |
| mordof | trism: :o any chance you have a link? | 20:08 |
| ActionParsnip | AryehGregor: add sudo to the start of each command | 20:08 |
| nanotube | Anzo: did you install build-essential package? | 20:09 |
| nanotube | Anzo: and all the other dependencies? | 20:09 |
| trism | mordof: it is installed by default, just go to tools/plugins and enable it | 20:09 |

| === UniDJ_Bob is now known as DJ_Unibob|laptop | ||
| nanotube | Anzo: well, get build-essentials first. then see what happens :) | 20:10 |
| mordof | trism: oh very nice, ty :D | 20:10 |
| erUSUL | gustavonarea: mount it ? just add a line for it to fstab | 20:10 |
| cornet | AryehGregor: ah yer of course | 20:10 |
| erUSUL | !fstab | gustavonarea | 20:10 |
| ubottu | gustavonarea: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 20:10 |

| dreamborn | My sound is just putting out static. My headphones work in windows but not ubuntu, all i get is light static | 20:11 |
| mordof | trism: with 1490.. people in here, those notices were coming up way too frequently, making it hard to follow, lol | 20:11 |
| dbuell | kasha: the binary is normally located in /usr/bin and the libs are normally located in /usr/lib/pidgin | 20:11 |
| nanotube | Anzo: after that, you can run "sudo apt-get build-dep kino" which will automatically pull in all the development libraries needed to build kino. (if you're still missing any) | 20:11 |
| Anzo | nanotube does it change anything if i am on 64bit | 20:12 |
| gustavonarea | erUSUL: Sorry; actually it's not even a partition. It's a unused space on the harddisk for which I want to create a partition | 20:12 |
| erUSUL | mordof: use a "real" irc client like x-chat (not the gnome version) or even chatzilla (inside firefox) | 20:12 |
| nanotube | Anzo: don't think so... | 20:12 |
| erUSUL | gustavonarea: you have gui ? | 20:12 |
| mordof | erUSUL: but... pidgin is colorful xD lol | 20:12 |
| gustavonarea | erUSUL: no | 20:12 |
| Darael | King: the repositories? If what you need isn't there, you could try enabling -proposed and/or -backports, though that's not usually recommended. | 20:12 |
| erUSUL | gustavonarea: use parted then | 20:12 |

| kasha | dbuell, i need history file | 20:13 |
| erUSUL | mordof: :P | 20:13 |
| Anzo | nanotube proper command: sudo apt-get install build-essentials | 20:14 |
| nanotube | mordof: trism: you don't have to get a different irc client. if using xchat-gnome, just right click on the channel in the list, and uncheck "show join/part messages". simple as that. | 20:14 |
| clearscreen | What was that command to append a line of text to a file ? | 20:14 |
| austin_work | anyone familiar with udev? I'm working on automated backup script, that recognizes the external hd by serial number. It works fine, but when plugging in a similar drive (same model/etc.), with a *different* serial number, the backup script is still run | 20:14 |
| King | Darael: I've already enabled backports | 20:14 |
| Pici | Anzo: Its build-essential, no s at the end. | 20:14 |
| nanotube | Anzo: ehrm, it could be build-essential (without the s) | 20:14 |
| kermit | clearscreen: echo text >> file | 20:14 |
| erUSUL | clearscreen: echo "line" >> file | 20:14 |
| Anzo | thanks | 20:14 |
| mordof | erUSUL: as far as i'm concerned, a 'real' irc client is whatever works. nanotube: pidgin has a way to take care of that, problem already solved :) | 20:14 |
| austin_work | part of the rule is ' ID_SERIAL_SHORT=="1234wxyz" ' | 20:14 |
| gustavonarea | erUSUL: I can't; there's no CD reader (I installed Ubuntu via PXE). Does it make a big difference? | 20:14 |
| clearscreen | kermit / erUSUL: I wasn't even aware of '>>', thanks :P | 20:14 |
| dbuell | kasha: check your ~/.purple/ directory | 20:15 |
| nanotube | mordof: ok cool. :) didn't know what you were using... | 20:15 |
| Anzo | nanotube already had it up to date | 20:15 |
| nanotube | Anzo: ah, ok... in that case, get all the build-deps using that other command | 20:15 |
| erUSUL | gustavonarea: it shouldn't... but still the partition table is going to be edited so some care is good | 20:16 |
| kermit | erUSUL: how is some firefox plugin called 'chatzilla' more 'real' of an irc client than pidgin? | 20:16 |
| wildc4rd_ | evening all | 20:16 |
| gustavonarea | erUSUL: ok, thank you! | 20:16 |
| kasha | vegantom, hi! | 20:16 |
| Anzo | nanotube that is working, do i then go back through and try /confi and then a make or do i just proceed to make in the kino directory? | 20:16 |
| ActionParsnip | hi wildc4rd_ | 20:16 |
| erUSUL | gustavonarea: parted has mkpart and mkfs commands with them you can create the new parition and fs in one go iirc | 20:16 |
| nanotube | Anzo: never hurts to run another ./configure ;) | 20:17 |
| dbuell | kasha: did that work for you? | 20:17 |
| Anzo | nanotube thanks | 20:17 |
| gustavonarea | Is it OK to create a *file* swap on an encrypted partition? | 20:17 |
| mordof | kermit: lol, you raise an interesting point | 20:17 |
| gustavonarea | erUSUL: cool, thanks :) | 20:17 |
| GLG | is there someone who can help me figure out something for conky? | 20:17 |
| nanotube | GLG: ask your specific question, and you'll find out ;) | 20:17 |
| erUSUL | gustavonarea: a little bit convoluted but should work (in the name of ortoganility= | 20:17 |
| AryehGregor | ActionParsnip, why would I add sudo? That would ruin the demonstration. Obviously root ignores traversal permissions. | 20:18 |
| gustavonarea | erUSUL: Will it work even after suspend? | 20:18 |

| erUSUL | gustavonarea: suspend to disk ? | 20:18 |
| gustavonarea | erUSUL: to ram | 20:18 |
| AryehGregor | ActionParsnip, if you run a command using sudo, the command will run as root. | 20:19 |

| kasha | dbuell, u saved my life) u rock! thanx %) | 20:19 |

| dbuell | kasha: np | 20:19 |
| sebsebseb | ActionParsnip: hmm according to the bot it is root hmm | 20:19 |
| AryehGregor | sebsebseb, I know what sudo is, yes, thank you. | 20:19 |
| ActionParsnip | AryehGregor: so its does, my bad | 20:20 |
| CBell | er AryehGregor is right ... | 20:20 |
| AryehGregor | . . . | 20:20 |
| CBell | my god, sometimes this channel is so ... | 20:20 |
| AryehGregor | $ ls -lh /usr/bin/sudo | 20:20 |
| AryehGregor | -rwsr-xr-x 2 root root 113K 2009-02-16 22:22 /usr/bin/sudo | 20:20 |
| GLG | conky does not accept linkstatus or wireless_link as commands | 20:20 |
| CBell | the blind leading the blind | 20:20 |
| sebsebseb | AryehGregor: yeah ActionParsnip knows what sudo is as well | 20:20 |
| AryehGregor | rwsr-xr-x = setuid root | 20:20 |
| ActionParsnip | AryehGregor: if you want access to a folder in /tmp then create a folder using sudo then give the user access somehow | 20:20 |
| kholzer | CBell: yeah, honestly. | 20:20 |
| gustavonarea | erUSUL: you're right. And it'd make a difference with hibernate? | 20:20 |
| kholzer | CBell: Thats why I'm here (I'm blind), but noone has run into me yet. | 20:20 |
| AryehGregor | ActionParsnip, thank you for the advice, but I was demonstrating a fact about Unix permissions. What you replied to is not related to any problem I'm having. | 20:20 |
| J_P | hi all | 20:20 |
| kholzer | ;[ | 20:21 |
| kholzer | Hello J_P | 20:21 |
| J_P | People, I install ubuntu server 9.04. and after install xorg and icewm. well, startx works ok. But resolutions are there in 1024x768, and I would like 800x600. But /etc/X11/xorg.conf is empty. where are the Xorg configurations ? | 20:21 |
| ActionParsnip | AryehGregor: either with group membership or give ownership to the user | 20:21 |
| AryehGregor | My actual problem was (3rd repost): What might it mean if my machine locks up; responds to pings but SSH times out; Alt-SysRq REISUB lets me reboot with clean filesystems; but Alt-SysRq-K doesn't restart the session, and there's nothing relevant in syslog? | 20:21 |
| kermit | halfmoon: if common hardware doesnt work in linux, it's probably because the manufacturer doesnt want it to. | 20:21 |
| CBell | kholzer, heh well I'd help, but I'm about to abuse ActionParsnip so I'll probably get kicked | 20:21 |
| AryehGregor | But I've come to realize that if I can't figure something out, this channel isn't likely to be much help. | 20:21 |
| halfmoon | So should i take it back? | 20:21 |
| erUSUL | gustavonarea: really dunno; i spect to be buggy if it works at all... but is a server. do you suspend your servers ? | 20:21 |
| ActionParsnip | AryehGregor: try reading /var/log/kern.log | 20:21 |
| CBell | ActionParsnip, i want you to stop giving out such cruddy advice. You are taking the channel so far down it may never recover | 20:21 |
| J_P | kholzer: you know? | 20:22 |
| CBell | ActionParsnip, dude, you really are a half wit. I'm sorry, someone has to tell you | 20:22 |
| AryehGregor | ActionParsnip, nothing relevant. Isn't that effectively a subset of syslog? | 20:22 |
| ActionParsnip | CBell: i enjoy my halfwittedness | 20:22 |
| kholzer | J_P: hmm.... | 20:22 |
| CBell | ActionParsnip, yeah, but other ppl don't | 20:22 |
| halfmoon | I guess im taking it back....i opened the box though....heh | 20:22 |
| Naikrovek | i'm new here, but if one person can bring it down it wasn't that good to start with | 20:22 |
| kanallista | #murcia | 20:22 |
| ActionParsnip | AryehGregor: it should be the kernel logs. I think they persist after reboot so should be a good place to start diagnosis | 20:22 |
| AryehGregor | ActionParsnip, . . . | 20:23 |
| kholzer | J_P: Could you write one? Sometimes there's an xorg.conf.example and no xorg.conf.... I seem to remember a curses tool for generating one. | 20:23 |
| AryehGregor | I'm going to have to go with CBell here, I'm afraid. | 20:23 |
| ActionParsnip | AryehGregor: does a memory test pass ok? | 20:23 |
| CBell | ActionParsnip, anyway, I've got to take this higher. I've been watching you for a week now giving out really crap advice | 20:23 |
| gustavonarea | erUSUL: this one, yes. It's only used in a office (from monday to friday). And Wake-on-LAN only seems to work with hibernate and suspend; not with power off :/ | 20:23 |
| CBell | ActionParsnip, no offense, I know you are trying to help | 20:23 |
| ActionParsnip | CBell: takes a lot to offend me | 20:23 |
| AryehGregor | ActionParsnip, do you have any actual reason to think memory might be the culprit? Because I'm not really interested in leaving my computer off for hours to test my memory. | 20:24 |
| CBell | ActionParsnip, i can see .... dude, get a grip. It's not his memory ... | 20:24 |
| kholzer | J_P: You know what I mean with the curses tool? You say it works at 1024x768? | 20:24 |
| CBell | arrrrrrrrrgh | 20:24 |
| ActionParsnip | AryehGregor: id say it was possible as the apps run in ram. Is there a certain combination of apps that make it fall over? | 20:24 |
| Astine | vi vs emacs which is better for editing files in the command line? | 20:24 |
| kholzer | J_P: You could also strace it I could help you go over logs looking for a configuration file. | 20:24 |
| AryehGregor | CBell, out of curiosity, who can you talk to about this kind of thing? Is ActionParsnip some officially-appointed helper or just some random dude who gives out help? | 20:24 |
| nuunuu | i want man pages for malloc, select etc installed. Which packges have them? | 20:24 |
| CBell | i really can't take this. Fuck ubuntu. I'm going for debian. The ppl know what they are talking about | 20:24 |
| AryehGregor | . . . | 20:24 |
| kholzer | Astine: Bad question.... | 20:24 |
| kholzer | Astine: That will never be decided | 20:25 |
| nuunuu | Astine: vim has imho nicer interface, but emacs formats code better | 20:25 |
| ActionParsnip | AryehGregor: you need to establish if there is a pattern to what makes it hang | 20:25 |
| shane2peru | !language | CBell | 20:25 |
| ubottu | CBell: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 20:25 |
| erUSUL | gustavonarea: the make a real swap partition (encrypted if you must).. my gut feel is that it should be more robust... | 20:25 |
| pauljw | poor cbell... lol | 20:26 |
| erUSUL | !best | Astine | 20:26 |
| ubottu | Astine: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 20:26 |
| Pici | AryehGregor: you can tell us about it in #ubuntu-ops if you want. | 20:26 |
| AryehGregor | ActionParsnip, please realize that I've administered a 2 million hits/day Linux server as sole root for about three years. I'm well-acquainted with general bug-hunting techniques. This should have been apparent, I hope, from the specificity of my question. If you don't have anything specific to suggest, then I don't think you can really help much. | 20:26 |
| J_P | kholzer: but if xorg.conf is empty, WM are there getting resolutinos etc from a place (file). what file ? | 20:26 |
| ActionParsnip | AryehGregor: the fact that ping replies is very perplexing tough, no ssh makes sense though as the sshd service may keel over when the system hangs | 20:26 |
| btnz | how do i install Quack for scheme programming in emacs under ubuntu? | 20:26 |
| ActionParsnip | AryehGregor: thats cool. i assume nothing in here due to the range of skills | 20:26 |
| gustavonarea | erUSUL: yeah, makes sense. Thank you very much, once again! ;-) | 20:26 |
| btnz | havent found it in the repositories | 20:26 |
| Astine | ok... | 20:26 |
| erUSUL | gustavonarea: no problem | 20:27 |
| Yorub | When will the next LTS be released? | 20:27 |
| nuunuu | where do i find man pages for glibc and linux | 20:27 |
| IdleOne | Does Shiretoko depend on FF-3.0? | 20:27 |
| sebsebseb | Yorub: April 2010 | 20:27 |
| Anzo | kholzer if your xorg is empty your typed the command wrong maybe | 20:27 |
| erUSUL | nuunuu: manpages-dev | 20:27 |
| ActionParsnip | AryehGregor: btw, i'm just a dude, not any sort of appointd helper or nothing | 20:27 |
| sebsebseb | IdleOne: no | 20:27 |
| nuunuu | erUSUL: thanks | 20:27 |
| Anzo | kholzer i know thats what it did for me | 20:27 |
| btnz | anyone here using quack? | 20:27 |
| Anzo | kholzer are you new to ubuntu? | 20:27 |
| Yorub | sebsebseb: Is its name still not known? | 20:27 |
| sebsebseb | Yorub: I think the name is out there, but in that case, I don't remember what's it called, I think I have read some article in the past that had the name | 20:28 |
| Yorub | Does anybody know the name of the next LTS? | 20:28 |
| IdleOne | thank you sebsebseb | 20:28 |
| erUSUL | btnz: dl the quack.el file and pu it somewer emacs look for it. instruction on how to do it come in the file itself | 20:28 |
| sebsebseb | IdleOne: as far as I know they are two seperate packages | 20:28 |
| shane2peru | Yorub: I don't think it has been named yet, it isn't due out till after Karmic. | 20:29 |
| Yorub | sebsebseb: Is there any information on how many of the Ubuntu users still use Hardy, the latest LTS? | 20:29 |
| sebsebseb | IdleOne: and 9.10 will have a later version of Firefox, with the proper user agent, and branding | 20:29 |
| btnz | erUSUL in the quack.el? | 20:29 |
| Anzo | nanotube are you still about? | 20:29 |
| erUSUL | btnz: yep | 20:29 |
| sebsebseb | Yorub: probably not | 20:29 |
| sebsebseb | Yorub: Why are you asking? | 20:29 |
| lianimator | I know flv files from youtube can be copied from /tmp. how about swf which has video? where are they? | 20:30 |
| erUSUL | btnz: i think ~/.emacs.d/ is a good place | 20:30 |
| sebsebseb | Yorub: yeah Linux market share can't be measured properly | 20:30 |
| sebsebseb | Yorub: really on the desktop it probably has about 2% | 20:30 |

| Darcc | Hi all, Is there and ISO download for Ububntu 9.04 for PowerPC users? | 20:30 |
| Pici | ActionParsnip: How is that helpful? | 20:30 |
| Yorub | sebsebseb: I'm interested to know more about the impact of this LTS strategy | 20:30 |
| grawity | Darcc: I don't think Ubuntu has PPC builds - only x86. | 20:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Pici: its al the proposed names for 10.04 | 20:31 |
| sebsebseb | Yorub: So ask a proper question? | 20:31 |
| zielmicha | /connect irc.freenode.net 6667 | 20:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Pici: user asked what 10.04 was gonna be called | 20:31 |
| Darcc | grawity I have found PPC downloads for 8.04 | 20:31 |

| sebsebseb | !lts | Yorub | 20:32 |
| ubottu | Yorub: 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 | 20:32 |
| Yorub | sebsebseb: Are you implying my question was not very proper? ("Is there any information on how many of the Ubuntu users still use Hardy, the latest LTS?") | 20:32 |
| dbuell | Darcc: or more properly https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCDownloads | 20:32 |
| sebsebseb | Yorub: everything else that is specifically to do with LTS, is pretty much irelivant I guess | 20:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Yorub: its still up in the air, karmic isnt even released yet :D | 20:32 |
| sebsebseb | Yorub: not that I know of | 20:32 |

| sebsebseb | Yorub: Why do you care how many people use the current LTS? | 20:33 |
| fccf | Yorub: www.markshuttleworth.com 's latest post talks about LTS in detail | 20:33 |
| Zajkos | elo | 20:33 |
| Yorub | sebsebseb: I'm not sure I'm following. What is irrelevant about LTS? | 20:33 |
| fccf | Yorub: FYI I use LTS | 20:33 |
| ActionParsnip | its a little oftopic too ;) | 20:33 |
| sebsebseb | Yorub: nevermind | 20:33 |
| mordof | lol, is 10 really named lethargic leprechaun? | 20:34 |
| darkham | how can i look changes in karmic daily live? | 20:34 |
| seidos | sebsebseb: I would think that the number of users that use LTS are probably going to give a better indicator of "mainstream" users | 20:34 |
| sebsebseb | Yorub: however woudn't it be better to look at how many people are using Ubuntu as a whole on the desktop :) | 20:34 |
| fccf | !karmic | darkham | 20:34 |
| ubottu | darkham: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 29th, 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 | 20:34 |
| austin_work | anyone familiar with udev? I'm working on automated backup script, that recognizes the external hd by serial number. It works fine, but when plugging in a similar drive (same model/etc.), with a *different* serial number, the backup script is still run | 20:34 |
| sebsebseb | seidos: I don't tink so, considering that most Ubuntu users at the moment will be using 9.04 or 8.10 on the desktop | 20:34 |
| austin_work | part of the rule is ' ID_SERIAL_SHORT=="1234wxyz" ' | 20:34 |
| seidos | sebsebseb: then by mainstream I mean "not hardcore" | 20:35 |
| G_A_C | austin_work: /dev/disk/by-id lists devices on my system including their serial number and firmware revisions | 20:35 |
| sebsebseb | seidos: yes I mean that as well | 20:35 |
| Astine | can anyone point me to a page that helps new linux users unstand what is going on in the log files? | 20:35 |
| seidos | sebsebseb: so do you agree that LTS users would be less hardcore? | 20:35 |
| Yorub | sebsebseb: The percentage of people that use a version shows me how much I can count on that version. | 20:35 |
| sebsebseb | Yorub: I see ok | 20:36 |
| sebsebseb | Yorub: well that's not quite true | 20:36 |
| mordof | seidos: LTS users (my guess) are ones that have been using ubuntu for a while, and have reason not to upgrade.., either that or ones that need to not upgrade in the future | 20:36 |
| sebsebseb | Yorub: and if I knew a bit more, I could recommend a version to you right now | 20:36 |
| Yorub | fccf: Thank you for the URL. I use Hardy as my desktop OS, too. | 20:36 |
| austin_work | G_A_C, I've got the serial number, but apparently udev is ignoring it | 20:36 |
| sebsebseb | Yorub: LTS is what businesses are likely to be using though the ones that have gone Ubuntu, which sadly is not many | 20:36 |
| austin_work | because serial1 != serial2 | 20:36 |
| Darcc | dbuell Thanks I will give it a try :) | 20:37 |
| sebsebseb | Yorub: ,because businesses don't want to have a reason to upgrade every six months, new versions of Ubuntu in April and October | 20:37 |
| seidos | mordof: I think what we're getting at is that LTS would be more reliable, and to many users that is the most important consideration | 20:37 |
| fccf | Yorub: FYI ... Mark Shuttleworth is the founder of ubuntu | 20:37 |
| austin_work | but udev is running the same action | 20:37 |
| sebsebseb | Yorub: it is also recommended for proper servers, as in for exammple commercial ones, to run that on the LTS | 20:37 |

| fccf | !ppc | Darcc ... a few | 20:38 |
| SnakDoc | is there a way to reinstall dpkg ?? seems to be broken :( | 20:38 |
| ubottu | Darcc ... a few: PowerPC. Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ | 20:38 |
| sebsebseb | Yorub: I suggest you asked proper questions, and then you may get proper replies | 20:38 |
| fccf | Darcc: discussion and support in #ubuntu-powerpc | 20:38 |
| sebsebseb | Yorub: otherwise it's just guess work, when it comes to whatever info you want to know | 20:38 |
| Yorub | sebsebseb: Having to install a new Ubuntu every six months is pretty disruptive for the average *USER* too! | 20:38 |
| mbeierl | anyone know in which file "show printers shared by other systems" toggle is stored? | 20:38 |
| Yorub | sebsebseb: That's why I care about LTSs. | 20:38 |
| diogo_79 | hi guys | 20:39 |
| erUSUL | SnakDoc: post the error you get when you try to use it | 20:39 |
| sebsebseb | Yorub: nonsense, normalley the upgrades go fine | 20:39 |
| lampliter2 | are there any GUI tools for managing NFS in 9.04? | 20:39 |
| diogo_79 | i am starting ubuntu | 20:39 |
| Yorub | sebsebseb: And that's why my question is absolutely proper. | 20:39 |
| Darcc | fccf :) | 20:39 |
| diogo_79 | on my desktop | 20:39 |
| G_A_C | Yorub: I've done many dist-upgrades in place with barely a problem | 20:39 |
| sebsebseb | diogo_79: New to Ubuntu? | 20:39 |
| diogo_79 | how can i see if all the hardware is install? | 20:39 |
| diogo_79 | yea | 20:39 |
| sebsebseb | Yorub: Ubuntu only do security updates from the repos, as a result LTS versions get old pretty fast | 20:39 |
| Yorub | G_A_C: Then I guess you just know how to fix the small but annoying bugs that come with each upgrade. | 20:39 |
| seidos | Yorub: I think it also depends on a user's hardware | 20:40 |
| dbuell | hey does anybody know how to use /stats p in pidgin? | 20:40 |
| fccf | diogo_: lspci for pci hardware .. lsusb for usb ... and dmesg to see more details of what is going on | 20:40 |
| IdleOne | Yorub: not to mention you don't have to upgrade. | 20:40 |
| G_A_C | Yorub: I don't think I've ever had any problems specifically with an upgrade. Whenever I've had problems with a new version, it's a problem that woul dhave occurred with a fresh install as well (such as the Intel graphics performance regressions in Jaunty) | 20:40 |
| sebsebseb | Yorub: also I was going to say something like what seidos said, it depends on the user and what hardware, which version of Ubuntu they should or shoudn't be using | 20:40 |
| sebsebseb | Yorub: and of course the version of Ubuntu still being supported | 20:40 |
| ActionParsnip | diogo_79: try and use the hardware, if it works, its installed | 20:40 |
| Yorub | IdleOne: Your reply seems to continue a previous one, which I can't figure out. Can you quote it? | 20:41 |
| halfmoon | OK heres the deal i now have to get this installed in ubuntu | 20:41 |
| fccf | !enter | halfmoon | 20:41 |
| ubottu | halfmoon: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 20:41 |
| halfmoon | Officemax wont return it cuzz theyre buttcusses | 20:41 |
| SnakDoc | erUSUL there are several just depends what i try to do with it rather its a apt-get upgrade or a dpkg -i install.deb | 20:41 |
| sebsebseb | G_A_C: yeah same here, for example when I upgraded the other computer from your beloved 8.04 Yorub to 8.10 and then The Internet woudn't work anymore, turns out that happended with the Live CD as well | 20:41 |
| Yorub | G_A_C: It's exactly fresh installs that I'm complaining about (too). | 20:41 |
| halfmoon | OK OBOTTU | 20:41 |
| IdleOne | Yorub: I was continuing the thought of most everybody else which is along the lines of you don't have to upgrade if you don't want to. If your looking for long term support and stability then LTS is what you want | 20:42 |
| dbuell | diogo_79: generally you can check lshw. if there is any hardware that does not have a "module" or it is marked *-DISABLED then it is not "installed" | 20:42 |
| fccf | !attitude | halfmoon | 20:42 |
| ubottu | halfmoon: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 20:42 |
| sebsebseb | Yorub: 8.10 would have been a better LTS release than 8.04, but nope 8.10 isn't LTS | 20:42 |
| DougM | how hard would it be to get Photoshop working on Ubuntu? | 20:42 |
| halfmoon | i know i got it | 20:42 |
| mordof | diogo_79: i guess the easiest explanation is that there isn't really an easy way like the device manager in xp. stuff gets displayed differently, even if something is using a driver in linux, it may not be a driver that runs it up to par.. so mainly just attempt using what you need to, and if it doesn't work - look for the problem and fix it | 20:42 |
| fccf | DougM: very hard ... use GIMP | 20:42 |
| Yorub | IdleOne: Right, and I wholeheartedly agree. | 20:42 |
| SnakDoc | erUSUL dpkg (subprocess) failed to exec dpkg-deb to extract control information : no such fle or dir | 20:42 |
| IdleOne | Yorub: so what we arguing about? :) | 20:42 |
| erUSUL | SnakDoc: :| | 20:42 |
| sebsebseb | DougM: you can Wine it, but might have to configure hmm, also with enough RAM you can run it in a Windows virtual machine | 20:43 |
| Yorub | IdleOne: (Well, except I'd like more backporting support) | 20:43 |
| SnakDoc | erUSUL thats what said :( | 20:43 |
| Yorub | IdleOne: I was "arguing" with the other party, the frequent upgraders. | 20:43 |
| mordof | DougM: you'd most likely have better luck in a VM, heh.. | 20:43 |
| dbuell | DougM: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=17 | 20:43 |
| sebsebseb | G_A_C: that comment was for you, but I did mention Yorub 's name in it | 20:43 |
| DougM | fccf: yeah im a web developer and have always used Photoshop | 20:43 |
| DougM | thanks guys ill check those links out | 20:43 |
| yuri_dragon_17 | can anyone read this? | 20:44 |
| tvjudge | Im having a brain fart whats the command to see the version of ubuntu im running? | 20:44 |
| sebsebseb | !version | tvjudge | 20:44 |
| ubottu | tvjudge: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy <package> » | 20:44 |
| G_A_C | tvjudge: probably "lsb_release -a" | 20:44 |
| sebsebseb | yuri_dragon_17: yes | 20:44 |
| fccf | DougM: I also do some web work, and I haven't bought a copy of photoshop since 3.0 | 20:44 |
| IdleOne | Yorub: well even those who run ubuntu+1 will tell you not to. latest is not always the greatest. | 20:44 |
| dbuell | DougM: you should check out gimp. There are also plugins that make gimp more like photoshop. check out google. | 20:44 |
| erUSUL | SnakDoc: well if you can not use dpkg you can not reinstall dpkg itself... catch 22 situation | 20:44 |
| sebsebseb | Yorub: if only 8.10 was the LTS :) | 20:44 |
| sebsebseb | Yorub: or maybe not | 20:45 |
| tvjudge | sorry i meant kernel version | 20:45 |
| sebsebseb | Yorub: in certain ways 8.10 is better than 8.04, just like in certain ways 8.10 is better than 9.04 | 20:45 |
| IdleOne | uname -a | 20:45 |
| Yorub | sebsebseb: I agree, especially because of pulseaudio. What else are you referring to, BTW? | 20:45 |
| DougM | dbuell alright ill check it out.. i have it on my machine but it just didnt seem to good. ill look into it some more | 20:45 |
| SnakDoc | erUSUL there some where to get source for it ?? | 20:45 |
| tvjudge | thats it uname thansk | 20:45 |
| tvjudge | uname -a | 20:45 |
| IdleOne | np | 20:45 |
| sebsebseb | Yorub: yeah pulseaudio used to be horrible in 8.04, I am not sure about now | 20:45 |
| lampliter2 | I want to share a folder using NFS. I can see how to do it using Samba but is there any tool I can use to export via NFS? Using 9.04 | 20:45 |
| DougM | dbuell: do you know if it works at all with PSD files? | 20:45 |
| Yorub | sebsebseb: Just as horrible (with some obvious but minimal fixes) | 20:46 |
| sebsebseb | Yorub: also 8.10 has a nice automatic shut down feature :) after a minute, unless it's cancaled or whatever | 20:46 |
| mordof | DougM: seems CS works solid in wine | 20:46 |
| seidos | !version | 20:46 |
| ubottu | To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy <package> » | 20:46 |
| fccf | DougM: yes GIMP works with PSD files | 20:46 |
| sebsebseb | Yorub: unfortuatnlly on the desktop 8.10 will stop being supported next April I think it is | 20:46 |
| sebsebseb | Yorub: however 9.10 is out next month, and that's meant to be pretty good | 20:46 |
| seidos | 8.10 was good for me because it had the ath5k driver and I didn't need to use ndiswrapper anymore | 20:47 |
| Yorub | sebsebseb: Shouldn't 8.10 have been continued by 9.04? Is that a regression or what? | 20:47 |
| sebsebseb | Yorub: and I belive it will be, espeasilly since they will have a proper kernel for the 10 seconds or so booting of Ext4 :) | 20:47 |

| sebsebseb | Yorub: 9.04 is bad in certain ways, I nearly left Ubuntu, because of it in fact | 20:47 |

| ubottu | http://www.linuxtv.org/ has extensive information about using TV cards under Linux. Available viewers for analog cards: Zapping, tvtime (GTK/GNOME), Kaffeine, kdetv (KDE), xawtv, motv. For digital cards: Me-TV (GNOME), Klear (KDE), dvb-utils. For both analog and digital cards, !MythTV is a powerful framework. Your card may work the !IVTV drivers. See also !TV-Out | 20:47 |
| seidos | netskillsii: how long did you give grub? | 20:47 |
| Yorub | sebsebseb: And what about the 10 seconds you mentioned? | 20:48 |
| sebsebseb | Yorub: of course people that upgrade to it from eerlier verisons with their Ext3, well I am not sure how good that Ext3 to Ext4 conversion really is | 20:48 |
| Yorub | sebsebseb: Did you actually just say that it would reboot in 10 seconds? | 20:48 |
| sebsebseb | Yorub: Ubuntu with Ext4 boots and shut downs and disk checks really fast :) | 20:48 |
| DougM | mordof: im not using a cracked version.. its on my works tab | 20:48 |
| sebsebseb | Yorub: yep it boots up in about 10 seconds with Ext4 | 20:48 |
| IdleOne | Yorub: that is the goal yes | 20:48 |
| netskillsii | Its been like this for the past hour, it normally goes right away to Windows 7 | 20:48 |

| ubottu | For help with enabling the TV-Out, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaTVOutNewbieEdition (Nvidia cards) or http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Tvout (ATI cards, *untested*) | 20:48 |
| sebsebseb | Yorub: and you can't just get support for it either | 20:49 |
| Yorub | sebsebseb: I guess ext3 to ext4 conversion should be smooth, absolutely unnoticeable. | 20:49 |
| sebsebseb | Yorub: without possbily something going wrong or whatever | 20:49 |
| kholzer | J_P: Sorry for long response. But to find which files it touches, we can strace | 20:49 |
| fccf | !msgthebot | vallhalla81 | 20:49 |
| ubottu | vallhalla81: Please investigate with me only with "/msg ubottu Bot" or in #ubuntu-bots. Search for factoids with "/msg ubottu !search factoid". | 20:49 |
| kholzer | J_P: Did you figure it out? | 20:49 |
| seidos | sebsebseb: I great alternative to booting up fast is using suspend with abandon | 20:49 |
| Shara | . | 20:49 |
| sebsebseb | seidos: What's this? | 20:49 |
| seidos | sebsebseb: I rarely reboot, but I use suspend to ram | 20:50 |
| sebsebseb | Yorub: ir your doing commercial desktops, well then yes usaully better to stay with the LTS, or some commercial server, but otherwise, LTS nah | 20:50 |
| Yorub | But how can a filesystem upgrade (which is what ext4 is) reduce rebooting time so tremendously? | 20:50 |
| seidos | Yorub: or if you have work that you need to get done | 20:50 |
| sebsebseb | Yorub: well you could, but, 8.04 hmm I already said about 8.10, I already said about 9.10, and I mentioned 9.04 briefly | 20:50 |
| seidos | Yorub: that's a good question | 20:51 |
| sebsebseb | Yorub: Ext4 has designed to be much better than Ext3 | 20:51 |
| Darcc | Which would be a good version of linux for PowerPC, I already use Ubuntu 9.04 on an Intell and would like something similar? | 20:51 |
| kholzer | Yorub: A filesystem probably won't, but it's implementation can. | 20:51 |
| mordof | how do i tell what filesystem i'm on? heh | 20:51 |
| sebsebseb | Yorub: also 9.04 with the optional Ext4 file system, the same thing fast boot up and that, however in 9.04 Ext4 is a little hmm, since they don't have proper support for it | 20:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Yorub: if you upgrade ext3 to ext4 you dont get the full advantages of ext4 | 20:51 |
| kholzer | Darcc: I'd used gentoo on PPC. | 20:51 |
| seidos | in windows I don't recall noticing performance boots moving from fat to ntfs | 20:51 |
| kholzer | Darcc: What do you want to do with it? | 20:51 |
| dbuell | Darcc: If that is the case why not use Ubuntu 9.04 on the ppc? | 20:52 |
| kholzer | Darcc: PPC => unmaintained (typically). | 20:52 |
| seidos | *boosts | 20:52 |
| netskillsii | Before this problem my battery die while still logged in to Linux then i connected my AC and restarted my computer then proceed on using Ubuntu 8.04 and had all kind of errors on my hdd. so tried repairing but know Ubuntu is fine but my Windows 7 nothing | 20:52 |
| Yorub | What can there be that is better than upstart already was supposed (or advertised) to be? | 20:52 |
| tvjudge | thanks for the help everyone bye | 20:52 |
| Yorub | ActionParsnip: Are you sure about that? | 20:52 |
| sebsebseb | ActionParsnip: well it sounds like maybe it will be good enough when 9.10 is out, but I guess even so, better to clean install and put Ext4 partitions on | 20:52 |
| grawity | seidos: They might not differ much in performance, but NTFS has a lot other advantages: ACLs, journalling, alternate streams, symlinks/hardlinks, and Unicode support. (Compared to FAT, I mean.) | 20:52 |
| Yorub | ActionParsnip: Aren't there any good converters? | 20:52 |
| sebsebseb | Yorub: see above at what I put to him | 20:53 |
| wiehan | Does anyone have a gigabyte T1028 netbook, I have so many problems with UNR.. | 20:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Yorub: yes, a proper format and then put the data back on will gain the extra functionality that convert filesystems do not get | 20:53 |
| Darcc | kholzer internet access, office aps, mmorpg | 20:53 |
| diogo_79 | i whant to install an antivirus program in ubuntu what is the recomendation | 20:53 |
| erUSUL | !av | diogo_79 | 20:53 |
| ubottu | diogo_79: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 | 20:53 |
| sebsebseb | diogo_79: you don't need one | 20:53 |
| sebsebseb | diogo_79: unless your doing say a email server, and scanning for Windows viruses | 20:53 |
| sebsebseb | diogo_79: otherwise at this time, you don't need one | 20:54 |
| erUSUL | diogo_79: clamav is the only one aviable in repos iirc. | 20:54 |
| kholzer | Darcc: Ubuntu has a PPC version, right? | 20:54 |
| davix | what can I do if my gnome screen is really distorted (the desktop shows, but its really filled with VERTICAL lines and runing dots, as if the graphic card failed). SiS chipset and onboard graphics card. please help:( | 20:54 |
| Darcc | I got a message on install of 9.04 saying it will damage my system??? | 20:54 |
| fccf | Darcc: Discussion and support in #ubuntu-powerpc ... not offically supported anymore ... but https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCDownloads | 20:54 |
| kholzer | Darcc: ?! | 20:54 |
| ActionParsnip | Darcc: at what point? | 20:54 |
| kholzer | fccf: ah. thanks. | 20:54 |
| sebsebseb | Yorub: I expect 9.10 will be way better than 8.04 :) | 20:54 |
| Yorub | ActionParsnip: Did you mean any difference between "proper format" and "format"? | 20:54 |
| Yorub | sebsebseb: Too bad that it won't be a LTS (just like 8.10) :) | 20:55 |
| tyler_d_ | I am unable to see my IPOD (mounted and viewable) from within my user account - I am trying to sync using rhythmbox | 20:55 |
| tyler_d_ | ? | 20:55 |
| tonii | davix: try live-cd (different versions, different drivers), if same problem: get new gfx | 20:55 |
| sebsebseb | Yorub: no, but 10.04 will be and yes that will also have Ext4 by default | 20:55 |
| Yorub | sebsebseb: s/a LTS/an LTS/ | 20:55 |
| Darcc | fccf yes I looked at those, no one in ubuntu-powerpc channel | 20:55 |
| kholzer | davix: does it do it when you boot into a framebuffer (console) mode? | 20:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Yorub: a converted file system to ext4 is inferior to wiping all data off and formatting to ext4 properly | 20:55 |
| erUSUL | davix: reconfigure X 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg' | 20:55 |
| adaptr | tyler_d_: look in /var/log/* for evidence it's being seen and mounted, and how | 20:56 |
| Darcc | Upon opening the disc image? | 20:56 |
| kholzer | davix: when it POSTS, is it okay? | 20:56 |
| sebsebseb | Yorub: what was that? | 20:56 |
| Luvn | How do I find my gateway address? | 20:56 |
| Yorub | ActionParsnip: I got that | 20:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Luvn: route | grep default | 20:56 |
| _Trinity_ | hy gnash goes me to errors. One that a sorenson plugin is missing and another than x264 is missing and I have ffmpeg installed. What am I missing? Or do I have to install the entire ubuntu-restricted-extras? | 20:56 |
| fccf | Darcc: there are 12 others in ppc ... that is not noone ... use the link I gave you ... people are supporting it ... we arn't | 20:56 |
| Yorub | sebsebseb: A regex. I was correcting my previous reply to you. | 20:56 |
| sebsebseb | Yorub: LTS hmm | 20:56 |
| erUSUL | !keys | 20:56 |
| ubottu | 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 | 20:56 |
| davix | kholzer, I don't know what POSTS is, but console works perfectly well. its just the X acting up, I've read numerous threads, most of them talking about using VESA driver instead. I want to use this pc as a studio station and VESA is out of the question | 20:56 |
| sebsebseb | Yorub: is not the be all and end all, (I think this is the saying I want) | 20:57 |
| kholzer | davix: Try VESA to test things though. Does it work with VESA? (My suspicion is yes.) | 20:57 |
| Yorub | sebsebseb: Nothing is | 20:57 |
| davix | kholzer, it does :/ | 20:57 |
| kholzer | davix: Then you've got something effed up in your xorg.conf. | 20:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Darcc: its just warning you that the livecd can access partitions if you use it so and may damage data (afaics). Also if you misuse the installer you may lose info also, its just a warning | 20:58 |
| sebsebseb | Yorub: sometimes non LTS versions are way better than whatever the current latest LTS is at the time | 20:58 |
| sebsebseb | Yorub: was that 8.10 no | 20:58 |
| kholzer | davix: Try manually setting the monitor settings. | 20:58 |
| sebsebseb | Yorub: was that 9.04 no way | 20:58 |
| sebsebseb | Yorub: will it be 9.10, yes I think probably so | 20:58 |
| kholzer | davix: It kind of sounds like monitor settings. | 20:58 |
| davix | (EE) SIS(0): Illegal video RAM size (262144K) detected, using BIOS-provided info | 20:59 |
| sebsebseb | Yorub: you should also be able to upgrade 9.10 no problem to 10.04 when that's released | 20:59 |
| davix | kholzer this is the only EE in my var/log/x (EE) SIS(0): Illegal video RAM size (262144K) detected, using BIOS-provided info | 20:59 |
| Darcc | ActionParsnip Thank you, do I open the ISO file I downloaded of burn it straight to disc? | 20:59 |
| DougM | im going to reinstall a fresh install of Gimp... i went into add/remove and thought i removed it but when i go to my home folder and hit ctrl-h it still shows up with all the folders inside. | 20:59 |
| DougM | what is the bst way to fully remove the application | 21:00 |
| kholzer | davix: then try poking in the BIOS.... | 21:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Darcc: yu right click the ISO and select "open with" then point to your burning software, this works in windows too | 21:00 |
| Yorub | sebsebseb: Well, I guess *anything* three versions more recent than an LTS is supposed to be way better than the LTS. | 21:00 |
| Darcc | :) | 21:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Darcc: you do not extract the iso or anything like that | 21:00 |
| erUSUL | DougM: uninstalling a package does not remove the users configuration files | 21:00 |
| davix | kholzer, I did, my windows boot works ok. I think its the driver | 21:00 |
| DougM | erUSUL: so if i just delete that folder will it be fine when I reinstall? | 21:00 |
| sebsebseb | Yorub: Well in that case, why do you want to run the LTS so badly? That's October 29th when 9.10 comes out by the way | 21:00 |
| fccf | Doug: sudo apt-get remove --purge gimp will clear your config files | 21:01 |
| davix | kholzer, what should I try and change in the monitor setting? | 21:01 |
| kholzer | davix: It probably is. Still, try poking with the bios settings. | 21:01 |
| ActionParsnip | DougM: to remove all configs for gimp run: rm -rf ~/.gimp | 21:01 |
| tyler_d | adaptr: What specifically am I looking for? | 21:01 |
| davix | kholzer, I've tried taking down the dedicated ram for GFX but it doesnt change anything, just makes it slower loading | 21:01 |
| DougM | ActionParsnip: cool thanks a lot | 21:01 |
| erUSUL | DougM: if remove your config is what you want to do rmove the .gimp dir | 21:01 |
| adaptr | tyler_d: probably your best bet is udev telling you what it found and what it did with it | 21:02 |
| ActionParsnip | DougM: most apps have a folder like that to store settings for each app for each user | 21:02 |
| DougM | which one "rmove the .gimp dir" or "rm -rf ~/.gimp" | 21:02 |
| kholzer | davix: Look up your monitor's 'Vertical Refresh Rate' and it's 'Horizontal Sync Frequency' | 21:02 |
| henjj | I'm using Ubuntu 9.04. I can connect to my company's VPN using network manager and pptp but I can't browse the shares. Any idea what the problem might be? | 21:02 |
| ActionParsnip | DougM: firefox = ~/.mozilla pidgin = ~/.purple etc | 21:02 |
| kholzer | davix: post your xorg.conf to some pastebin site and I can help you graft that stuff in if you want. | 21:02 |
| Yorub | sebsebseb: Mostly because I don't like to be forced to feel like a second-class Ubuntu citizen only six months later, when everybody is focused on the next version and the LTS. | 21:02 |
| erUSUL | DougM: mine was not a command just plain english :) | 21:02 |
| davix | ok kholzer, going at it right now | 21:02 |
| kholzer | davix: you've just gotta get the documentation for your monitor, it will be in a 'specs' page on their site. | 21:02 |
| DougM | erUSUL: oh haha ok thanks.. im new to this if you cant tell | 21:02 |
| `c00 | question.. can you actually have different version of python on 1 server machine? | 21:03 |
| sebsebseb | Yorub: Explain what you meant by that? Also as I already said you can probably upgrade to the 10.04 LTS from 9.10, without any problems. | 21:03 |
| Yorub | sebsebseb: Sometimes installing a new Ubuntu is quite disrupting. I mean, I like to play with my computer, but I also have work to do. | 21:03 |
| tyler_d | adaptr: I cannot see much re: the i-pod, however I know where its mounted and can use gparted to see that a. its mounted and b. the device type | 21:03 |
| === JP is now known as Guest86828 | ||
| nuunuu | `c00: yes | 21:03 |
| Yorub | sebsebseb: I guess this is the main reason why anybody would stick to an LTS | 21:03 |
| sebsebseb | Yorub: I see, well hard disks can also just fail, hence why you have back ups, just like sometimes an upgrade of Ubuntu might go wrong | 21:03 |
| nuunuu | altho i don't know if you get that from package management | 21:04 |
| Yorub | sebsebseb: Yeah, I have to agree | 21:04 |
| minche | hello | 21:04 |
| sebsebseb | Yorub: normalley yes, but there may be some exceptions to that | 21:04 |
| minche | i need some help | 21:04 |
| adaptr | tyler_d: did you do Scan removable media in rhythmbox ? | 21:04 |
| `c00 | nuunuu, if so how do I set my application to choose which version to use? | 21:04 |
| sebsebseb | Yorub: 9.10 will probably be a good exception | 21:04 |
| erUSUL | `c00: yes; jaunty has 2.4 2.5 and 2.6 in repos | 21:04 |
| eeepc | is hdmi output possible? what's a good card to get? | 21:04 |
| Petengy | hi to all | 21:04 |
| nuunuu | `c00: you'd need different names for the executables. | 21:04 |
| Yorub | sebsebseb: I think I will install 9.10, especially if I keep hearing good things about it | 21:04 |
| DougM | what is the command line to install gimp? | 21:04 |
| nuunuu | and use alternatives system or what was it | 21:04 |
| dbuell | `c00: yes and you can get several different versions (at the same time) from the synaptic package manager | 21:04 |
| sebsebseb | Yorub: also woudn't it be cool if you could boot up in like 10 seconds, instead of 30 or whatever it is? | 21:05 |
| eeepc | there is a computer on woot.com today that has it, is this compatible with ubuntu? | 21:05 |
| Yorub | sebsebseb: And then I'll upgrade to the next LTS | 21:05 |
| tyler_d | adaptr: I have tried, the plugin is not configurable though, and it usually just shows up on the right | 21:05 |
| tonii | DougM: apt-get install gimp | 21:05 |
| shane2peru | DougM: sudo apt-get install gimp | 21:05 |
| Yorub | sebsebseb: Of course it would! :) | 21:05 |
| Dyinglight12 | hi | 21:05 |
| DougM | alright cool thanks guys | 21:05 |
| `c00 | thanks for all those who answered.. appreciate your help guys | 21:05 |
| adaptr | tyler_d: that's odd, I have never had issues with it | 21:05 |
| Petengy | I'm near to install ubuntu on a pavillion hp laptop, my problem is the internal analogic modem..... any idea ? | 21:05 |
| shane2peru | DougM you will need sudo with that | 21:05 |
| minche | i had no sound in ubuntu 9.04, and then i followed some instructions (shich i can link you to if you want) and now there still is no sound, but when i go to the system -> preferences there are 2 sound menus =S | 21:05 |
| Dyinglight12 | can someone help me | 21:05 |
| sebsebseb | Yorub: yeah that sounds good, and make sure that's a nice clean install of 9.10 when it's out, and haveing a seperate /home is useful, you can set that up yourself | 21:05 |
| erUSUL | !dialup | Petengy | 21:05 |
| ubottu | Petengy: You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto - Also try disabling/removing KNetworkManager if KDE applications cannot connect using dial-up | 21:05 |
| Yorub | sebsebseb: I can't wait to see that happen (I still can't believe it, actually) | 21:05 |
| `c00 | I might need to take a look that :) | 21:05 |
| sebsebseb | !ask | Dyinglight12 | 21:05 |
| ubottu | Dyinglight12: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 21:05 |
| minche | if anyone could help me, please | 21:05 |
| Yorub | sebsebseb: Thank you for your suggestions | 21:06 |
| sebsebseb | Yorub: that also makes re installing or even changing distros much easier | 21:06 |
| Dyinglight12 | i need help installing this via sd card since im on a netbook | 21:06 |
| sebsebseb | Yorub: when you got seperate /hoem | 21:06 |
| davix | kholzer, this is my xorg.conf (http://pastebin.ca/1562459) and this is my screen make/model (Nec AccuSync 73V LCD - can't find it on their website - only the newer version) is it the same? | 21:06 |
| Petengy | erUSUL: I'll try TnX :) | 21:06 |
| sebsebseb | !md5sum | Yorub | 21:06 |
| ubottu | Yorub: To verify the integrity of a download, use the md5sum - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM for more | 21:06 |
| sebsebseb | Yorub: and that's a good idea to do for any Ubuntu ISO | 21:07 |
| shane2peru | Yorub: I always keep /home as a separate partition, it is very good idea | 21:07 |
| minche | please? | 21:07 |
| sebsebseb | !patience | minche | 21:07 |
| ubottu | minche: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. | 21:07 |
| shane2peru | sebsebseb: out of curiosity, have you ever had a bad download? | 21:07 |
| davix | kholzer this is the new Accusync specs, I wonder if it workss: Horizontal 31.5 kHz to 81.1 kHz (Analog/Digital) / Vertical 56 to 76 Hz | 21:07 |
| sebsebseb | shane2peru: maybe once or twice with some ISO, ,but in that case quite a while ago | 21:07 |
| sebsebseb | shane2peru: 99% of the time the download will be good | 21:08 |
| hwilde | hi I have a webcam connected to my computer via ethernet. the IP of the webcam is unknown. can I discover it with the right combination of tcpdump and broadcast pings ? | 21:08 |
| kholzer | davix: Cool :) | 21:08 |
| sebsebseb | shane2peru: or whatever the percentage is | 21:08 |
| davix | kholzer, how do I set up my xorg now? where do I put these config specs? | 21:08 |
| minche | it's really bugging me | 21:08 |
| minche | and i fixed it last time there was no sound | 21:08 |
| minche | but now i cant remember what i did | 21:08 |
| Yorub | sebsebseb: Thank you for your help! :) | 21:08 |
| shane2peru | sebsebseb: I mean to really warrant md5sum? | 21:08 |
| kholzer | davix: I'll do it in another pastebin for you | 21:08 |
| davix | kholzer, oh thank you | 21:08 |
| grawity | hwilde: If it does respond to broadcast pings, then tcpdump is unneeded. ping 255.255.255.255 would show all ping replies anyway. | 21:08 |
| kholzer | davix: got to do some reading of man xorg.conf | 21:08 |
| sebsebseb | Yorub: no problem | 21:08 |
| grawity | hwilde: If it doesn't -- there are tools such as nmap, that can do subnet scans. | 21:09 |
| sebsebseb | shane2peru: I think it's more important to do it if you get the ISO from a dodgy source, but even if you don't, still a good idea I guess | 21:09 |
| shane2peru | sebsebseb: right, I perhaps have had one or two, I don't even check md5sum any more. :) | 21:09 |
| erUSUL | davix: a quick way of getting a xorg.conf to modify is using 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg' | 21:09 |
| shane2peru | sebsebseb: it is good practice, I just don't do it. :) | 21:09 |
| hwilde | grawity, what if my ethernet IP is not on the right subnet | 21:09 |
| MeXTuX | I installed a RAID 1 on a Ubuntu Server. How can I check if the files are being duplicated as expected?? | 21:09 |
| kholzer | erUSUL: trying to debug something, davix, wait.... | 21:10 |
| sebsebseb | Yorub: 8.04 will probably be a kind of joke compared to 9.10 :D | 21:10 |
| davix | kholzer, i'm with you | 21:10 |
| kholzer | davix: k | 21:10 |
| grawity | hwilde: Doesn't the webcam have any docs? | 21:10 |
| minche | please, can anyone at least show me where i could find some help | 21:10 |
| erUSUL | MeXTuX: remove one of the disks of the array. try to access the array (read only) in degraded mode | 21:10 |
| fccf | hwilde: consider using wireshark to see all packets on your ethernet | 21:10 |
| Yorub | sebsebseb: I hope so | 21:10 |
| shane2peru | Yorub: there are many improvments over 8.04, I have two boxes running 8.04, mine is running 9.04 | 21:11 |
| Yorub | sebsebseb: It has to, at least because it's the latest | 21:11 |
| sebsebseb | Yorub: same here, but also hopefuly compared to 9.04 :) | 21:11 |
| hwilde | grawity, it has docs, but it has already been configured, and there is no factory reset (it's a security camera and they claim that would make it insecure) | 21:11 |
| henjj | I'm using Ubuntu 9.04. I can connect to my company's VPN using network manager and pptp but I can't browse the shares. Any idea what the problem might be? | 21:11 |
| fccf | !ask | minche | 21:11 |
| ubottu | minche: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 21:11 |
| ActionParsnip | hwilde: if the cam is on a different subnet you will need some switching / router to get the traffic onto the other network, or you can edit your current subnet to conform to the camera | 21:11 |
| sebsebseb | Yorub: newer is not always better, for example 9.04 and 8.10 or even 8.04, depending on user and hardware | 21:11 |
| grawity | hwilde: Maybe you know an IP address of some other machine in the old network? | 21:12 |
| Yorub | sebsebseb: I know, but 8.04 is getting quite old, so I guess soon everything will be better than that :) | 21:12 |
| hwilde | grawity, we bought it from Seagate when they went out of business :) | 21:12 |
| hossam | hello! is there a screensaver mode that will dim the screen (set opacity) to a certain level? | 21:12 |
| Yorub | sebsebseb: s/everything/anything/ | 21:12 |

| sebsebseb | Yorub: yes the boot up time again I am on about here | 21:12 |
| dbuell | minche: there is a lot of information regarding sound setup | 21:13 |
| ActionParsnip | sebsebseb: ext4 is only default, ext3 is still an option | 21:13 |
| kholzer | davix: try removing the usefbdev option in the "Device" section; do you have that there for a reason? | 21:13 |
| sebsebseb | Yorub: even in 9.04 it's worth it, depending on user and data, because it's still a bit dodgy in 9.04 as I already put | 21:13 |
| sebsebseb | ActionParsnip: I know | 21:13 |
| Yorub | sebsebseb: What's worth it in 9.04? | 21:13 |
| kholzer | davix: You might also be able to use DPMS (automatic capability reporting protocol); lemme see if your monitor has it. | 21:13 |
| dbuell | minche: sorry I can't help without more information. | 21:14 |
| davix | kholzer, part of me trying to follow threads about fixing it | 21:14 |
| Yorub | sebsebseb: The ext4 file system? | 21:14 |
| sebsebseb | Yorub: hardly anything is worth it in 9.04 really | 21:14 |
| davix | kholzer, removed | 21:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Yorub: newer hardware may benefit from the newer kernel | 21:14 |
| kholzer | davix: Without it, it is still broken? | 21:14 |
| sebsebseb | Yorub: worth having 9.04 for, except Ext4 maybe, depending on user and data as I already said, because as I already said a bit dodgy in 9.04, since the kernel they have and that | 21:14 |
| davix | kholzer, yup | 21:14 |
| davix | kholzer, was broken with and without it | 21:14 |

| Yorub | ActionParsnip: What kernel will Karmic use? | 21:15 |
| PenStand | when will ubuntu 9.10 be released? | 21:15 |
| sebsebseb | Yorub: something rather receant | 21:15 |
| fccf | !karmic | 21:15 |
| ubottu | Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 29th, 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 | 21:15 |
| sebsebseb | Yorub: the 2.6.31 kernel series or whatever | 21:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Yorub: 2.6.31 | 21:15 |
| ManDay | I dont have an LC_ALL - what can I do about it? | 21:15 |
| ManDay | nor do I have a LOCALE | 21:15 |
| kholzer | davix: ok, add the following to the "Monitor" section: `Option "DPMS" "on"` (inside the backticks) | 21:15 |
| IdleOne | !locale | 21:16 |
| ubottu | To set up and configure your locales, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf | 21:16 |
| Yorub | sebsebseb, ActionParsnip: I suspect part of the reason why it will boot in ten seconds is the implementation of kernel-based mode setting (IIUC). | 21:16 |
| sebsebseb | Yorub: I don't think so | 21:16 |
| PenStand | is there an LTS for ubuntu 9.04? | 21:16 |
| hossam | kholzer: check your pm | 21:16 |
| Yorub | sebsebseb: Why? | 21:16 |
| sebsebseb | Yorub: ,because 9.04 with Ext4 boots up like Karmic alpha with Ext4 | 21:16 |
| davix | ok done, kholzer no ctrl+alt+backspace? | 21:16 |
| rww | PenStand: no. The current LTS is 8.04, the next one will be 10.04 or 10.10. | 21:16 |
| fccf | !lts | PenStand | 21:16 |
| ubottu | PenStand: 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 | 21:16 |
| GLG | unknown variables wireless_link and linkstatus in conky anyone have the alternitives? | 21:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Yorub: maybe, maybe you have implemented extra boot options and system settings to speed up bootup | 21:16 |
| Yorub | sebsebseb: Almost just as fast? | 21:16 |
| sebsebseb | Yorub: yep I noticed no difference regarding the speed | 21:17 |
| PenStand | !Hardy | 21:17 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 8.04-LTS (Hardy Heron) was the eighth release of Ubuntu. Downloading: http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04 - See !lts for more details. | 21:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Yorub: dont forget, bootup isnt a gauge of speed. id rather have a slower boot for faster actual desktop performance | 21:17 |

| sebsebseb | Yorub: yep | 21:17 |
| fccf | hanasaki: gimp | 21:17 |
| kholzer | davix: I'd reboot from scratch.... | 21:17 |

| davix | kholzer ok rebooting | 21:17 |
| ActionParsnip | hanasaki: gimp perhaps | 21:17 |
| kholzer | davix: I'm paranoid about that kind of thing | 21:17 |
| sebsebseb | Yorub: I used to not like it doing the disk check much, after 23 or so boots, because that would take a while, but with Ext4 that's done in seconds | 21:17 |
| Yorub | ActionParsnip: Not that there is some trade-off between the two. | 21:17 |
| GLG | unknown variables wireless_link and linkstatus in conky anyone have the alternitives? | 21:18 |
| davix | kholzer, whatever works, (now its loading again | 21:18 |
| ActionParsnip | Yorub: true, but dont get tied up with boot time, its very trivial | 21:18 |
| Yorub | sebsebseb: Again, that's amazing. | 21:18 |
| hanasaki | does gimp open it as a bitmap or can I move / edit shapes of the psd ? | 21:18 |

| Travis-43 | kholzer: the problem with that, is that I need to use a private key to connect, and that private key is on this computer, not the proxy computer | 21:20 |

| Yorub | ActionParsnip: As long as Hardy is still supported, it should be on-topic. | 21:20 |
| fccf | hanasaki: inkscape is a vector graphics editor .. much like illustrator ... and gimp is linux's equivelent to photoshop | 21:20 |

| sebsebseb | Yorub: Ext3 is a joke compared to Ext4 when it comes to boot up, it really is, and since Ext4 is default in 9.10 when that's released, that's one major advantage it will have over previous versions. | 21:23 |
| DougM | cool thanks guys | 21:23 |

| gofelro | kholzer: ... yet | 22:26 |

| sebsebseb | !ask | six | 22:40 |
| ubottu | six: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 22:40 |
| kholzer | six: read what ubottu just said. | 22:40 |
| erUSUL | djbpython: use the alt + f2 run dialog if you prefer it | 22:40 |
| sebsebseb | six: oh nevermind | 22:40 |
| kholzer | sebsebseb: he did. | 22:40 |
| six | that doesnt help me | 22:41 |
| kholzer | six: ??? not the ask, one line before. | 22:41 |
| fccf | six: read the instructions here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 22:41 |
| briana | zleap: thats greek | 22:41 |
| janisozaur | six: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootFromUSB and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick | 22:41 |
| ActionParsnip | jiffe: ok which interface do you want to not come up? | 22:41 |
| jiffe | eth1 | 22:41 |
| six | i want to install ubuntu | 22:41 |
| sebsebseb | briana: I missed your issue can you repeate it, maybe I can help a little | 22:41 |
| six | now to use it as live cd | 22:41 |
| six | or boot something else | 22:41 |
| erUSUL | djbpython: but you know linux people are fond of our terminals not ashamed of using them ;) | 22:41 |
| six | i want to use the USB as a primary hdd | 22:42 |
| jiffe | I took the auto out | 22:42 |
| Mike_lifeguard | Could someone help me with an issue with burning ISOs to CD? I consistently get errors resulting in either a coaster, or the simulated burning failing ( brasero log at http://p.defau.lt/?9ZeoqDy6lNm98CHbYYXZWQ ) | 22:42 |
| kholzer | six: read those instructions, thats how you do that :) | 22:42 |
| racha | Gnea: u are here ? | 22:42 |
| fccf | six: persistant means it writes to the USB disk .... get it | 22:42 |
| jiffe | but I can't bring it manually down | 22:42 |
| kholzer | six: it won't be on the livecd, it will all be on the usb disk | 22:42 |
| six | i see some options though | 22:42 |
| Atrickit | good night..for everyone | 22:42 |
| Atrickit | ok... | 22:42 |
| kholzer | good night ! | 22:42 |
| six | which one do i choose | 22:42 |
| Atrickit | lets talk... | 22:42 |
| janisozaur | !enter | six | 22:42 |
| ubottu | six: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 22:42 |
| briana | wany wifi to work for unbuntu. it see my network fine, cant get internet | 22:42 |
| kholzer | six: you need to read both. | 22:42 |
| sebsebseb | briana: yeah I thought it was a networking issue ok | 22:43 |
| six | unetbootin ? linux portable? | 22:43 |
| sebsebseb | briana: ok not really my area, but it seems your being told to open a config file | 22:43 |
| n8tuser | please people, prefix your conversation with the person to whom with your conversing with so its easy to follow and not get lost.. | 22:43 |
| Atrickit | why ubuntu is better of slackware or archlinux???? | 22:43 |
| Gnea | racha: yeah | 22:43 |
| IdleOne | 410 | 22:43 |
| racha | Gnea : sec ... | 22:43 |
| sebsebseb | Artemis3: that's off topic, and some people think Slackware or ArchLinux are way better than Ubuntu, as well as the other way round | 22:43 |
| erUSUL | Atrickit: ask in offtopic | 22:43 |
| erUSUL | !ot | Atrickit | 22:44 |
| ubottu | Atrickit: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 22:44 |
| nuunuu | Atrickit: because slackware doesn't have package management, and archlinux vim is borked | 22:44 |
| janisozaur | !better | Atrickit | 22:44 |
| ubottu | Atrickit: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 22:44 |
| Gnea | Atrickit: it's updated more often, it has better support, it's easier for noobs to use, it gets the job done, people like it, and, oh, btw, you're offtopic, please take it to #ubuntu-offtopic | 22:44 |
| six | do i need unetbootin? i am now running windows | 22:44 |
| n8tuser | briana -> whats the problem with your wifi? | 22:44 |
| kholzer | six: or use the just following: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootFromUSB | 22:44 |
| Edico | hi | 22:44 |
| sebsebseb | !wireless | briana | 22:44 |
| ubottu | briana: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 22:44 |

| JuJuBee | Sidewinder1: | 22:45 |
| Gnea | racha: nice! | 22:45 |
| janisozaur | Edico: ask in #pidgin | 22:45 |
| JuJuBee | Sidewinder1: it seems that the USB hub it the problem or something connected to it... I also tried my front usb ports and it did not work. WHen I connected to my back usb ports, it worked. very strange... | 22:45 |

| ActionParsnip | jiffe: just websearching | 22:45 |
| fccf | briana: see my private message | 22:45 |
| sebsebseb | !pm | fccf briana | 22:46 |
| ubottu | fccf briana: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. | 22:46 |
| racha | Gnea: its possible to make that Config on ubuntu ? | 22:46 |
| ActionParsnip | jiffe: you could add ifdown eth1 in /etc/rc.local | 22:46 |
| Atrickit | but slackware has package management.....it only dont has dependendy manegement....... | 22:46 |
| ActionParsnip | jiffe: above the exit 0 line | 22:46 |
| Atrickit | ... | 22:47 |
| fccf | sebsebseb: I keep seeing people point briana to a link that won't help her ... I did a little research and I have a solution | 22:47 |
| Grexo | why is ubuntu offtopic banned | 22:47 |
| kholzer | Atrickit: There is no best. | 22:47 |
| Grexo | i cant get in | 22:47 |
| racha | Gnea: i rly dont knowe why C-Media didnt made Drivers for Linux :( | 22:47 |
| jiffe | well ifdown is what isn't working | 22:47 |
| sebsebseb | fccf: ok sounds good, but if you help her/him here, maybe it can be useful for other people as well | 22:47 |
| Grexo | what is going on | 22:47 |
| Gnea | racha: have you tried using pulseaudio? | 22:47 |
| ActionParsnip | racha: they get more money supporting windows, they are a business so plow money where they can maximise profit | 22:47 |
| Gnea | Grexo: probably because you pissed someone off | 22:48 |
| racha | Gnea: nah | 22:48 |
| fccf | I was trying to but people kept stealing the show | 22:48 |
| fccf | I am leaving | 22:48 |
| Grexo | gnea the channel is a bunch of 5 year olds | 22:48 |
| sebsebseb | fccf: hang on | 22:48 |
| Grexo | what can i say | 22:48 |
| sebsebseb | fccf: why not help them first? | 22:48 |
| racha | ActionParsnip: there need to be someone who can made that drivers for ubuntu ... | 22:48 |
| Gnea | Grexo: then don't worry about it | 22:48 |
| Grexo | gnea lol | 22:48 |
| racha | ActionParsnip: not someone from C-media | 22:48 |
| Grexo | :O | 22:49 |
| ActionParsnip | racha: there are groups who will make drivers if companys comply with requests for info | 22:49 |
| racha | Gnea: What with pulseaudio ? | 22:49 |
| Gnea | racha: well, reason I ask, is that I have a usb X-Fi, and it has barely any functionality with alsa. when I use pulseaudio, suddenly I can change the volume and such. | 22:49 |
| fccf | sebsebseb: that is what I do when I am here ... but right now I see people giving REALLY BAD ADVICE | 22:49 |
| ActionParsnip | racha: nvidia has a massive team dedicated to making drivers which is why their driver support is awesome | 22:50 |
| sebsebseb | fccf: such as? | 22:50 |
| Gnea | fccf: i've noticed that too. it's days like today when a lot of the idiots come out of the woodwork. | 22:50 |
| racha | Gnea: Anyway its possible to made that same for ubuntu or ? | 22:50 |
| sebsebseb | Gnea: well it's the weekend, maybe that's it :D | 22:50 |
| cwolfx | anyone wanna play gtkatlantic? | 22:51 |

| ubottu | hacktop: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 22:59 |
| ActionParsnip | syrius: search the page for the ID code | 22:59 |
| six | i am using unetbootin to install linux to my usb, which install should i use? live or netinstall? | 22:59 |
| syrius | it says "Could not connect to video device (/dev/video0). Please check connection. when I try to load camorama ActionParsnip | 23:00 |
| pshr | live is what i opted for six | 23:00 |
| sebsebseb | !usb | six | 23:00 |
| ubottu | six: 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 | 23:00 |
| hacktop | when I boot Kubuntu I first get it with my own background...then it goes into the clasic KDE look | 23:00 |
| kholzer | six: pick one | 23:00 |
| ActionParsnip | syrius: i dont think you have the driver setup right | 23:00 |
| hacktop | how do I stop it from doing thst? | 23:00 |
| six | kholzer | 23:00 |
| six | whats the difference? | 23:00 |
| syrius | it says that it works right out of the box at ubuntu's site ActionParsnip | 23:00 |
| janisozaur | six: use live | 23:00 |
| pshr | six, check out | 23:00 |
| syrius | how can that be then | 23:00 |
| six | thanks janisozaur | 23:00 |
| xiong | what is the realistic burden of trying to install a complete LAMP stack on my machine? or should i say, of configuring it so that it runs as a localhost and allows me to test my perl code just as if i'd uploaded it to my remote server? | 23:00 |
| kholzer | six: One is over the internet, the other is through your CD drive...right? | 23:00 |
| hacktop | well there is another bar under the orriginal one.... | 23:01 |
| ActionParsnip | syrius: what a website says and what actually happens can often be very different | 23:01 |
| pshr | well i always for get to ask this now i guess i can how do i change the boot screen from Kubuntu to Ubuntu its quite annoying to me | 23:01 |
| kholzer | pshr: do you really care? | 23:01 |
| kholzer | pshr: how often do you reboot? | 23:01 |
| kholzer | I think we need more cross examination in this channel... | 23:02 |
| pshr | kholzer, thats the same reason i delayed it so far :) | 23:02 |
| pshr | i've mentioned it already he he that i keep forgetting about it | 23:02 |
| hacktop | there is another "new" panel under the normal one without me putting it there | 23:03 |
| pshr | any ways asked that just outta curiosity | 23:03 |
| nuunuu | xiong: easiest is to use sshfs and test like that? | 23:03 |
| hacktop | and the background changed | 23:03 |
| pshr | hacktop, congrats :) | 23:03 |
| trism | pshr: install kubuntu-artwork-usplash | 23:03 |
| ubuntucrashed | i have ubuntu on HDD but it crashed, I'm on a live cd distro of BACKTRACK 3, is there a way to install a package (app-install-data) onto ubuntu through the live CD? | 23:03 |
| hacktop | but when I look at desktopsettings it is my old background showing up... | 23:03 |
| pshr | trism, you sure... i need to change it from Kubuntu to ubuntu not the other wise | 23:03 |
| trism | pshr: sorry, ubuntu-artwork-usplash, I misunderstood the direction | 23:03 |
| pshr | trism, handy thank ya | 23:04 |

| xiong | nuunuu, not sure i follow you; i'm less experienced than some, particularly to linux | 23:04 |

| ubuntucrashed | kde | 23:05 |
| hacktop | worked out the bugs personally | 23:05 |
| ubuntucrashed | same here | 23:05 |
| nuunuu | xiong: i don't know answer to your original question, but assuming you have shell to your provider, you could make it appear like its locally on your computer... is what i meant | 23:05 |
| ubuntucrashed | can you help me, it's a difficult task | 23:05 |
| racha | Gnea: u are her e? | 23:05 |
| pshr | kholzer, :) | 23:05 |
| hacktop | somehow it keeps changing my layout without me telling it to | 23:05 |
| trism | pshr: actually, it looks like they renamed the ubuntu version, it is usplash-theme-ubuntu | 23:05 |
| hacktop | sure I can help you | 23:05 |
| kholzer | pshr: but the first two links looked fine | 23:05 |
| odd_ | HI, Someone who can help me? i have som trouble installing it | 23:06 |
| ubuntucrashed | what can i do? | 23:06 |
| w1ll | Has any here ever experienced not being able to delete or alter a file in /usr/sbin on hardy ? | 23:06 |
| hacktop | I have also installed several scripts making it more user friendly | 23:06 |

| xiong | nuunuu, i understand -- i'm trying to weigh the benefits of installing all the stuff on my own machine | 23:06 |
| w1ll | I am root | 23:06 |
| hacktop | what is the excact issue you have? | 23:06 |
| pshr | so am i w1ll | 23:06 |

| ubuntucrashed | i have ubuntu on HDD but it crashed, I'm on a live cd distro of BACKTRACK 3, is there a way to install a package (app-install-data) onto ubuntu through the live CD? | 23:06 |
| w1ll | lol | 23:06 |
| w1ll | That's what so confusing about it | 23:07 |
| hacktop | let me ask my room-mate | 23:07 |
| n8tuser | w1ll -> use lsattr to list the attributes, there are flags that may tell you | 23:07 |
| gdoteof | HI i somehow deleted my printer utility and am trying to get it back.. any ideas? | 23:07 |
| ubuntucrashed | hacktop: i have reason to suspect that the missing package is causing this crash. | 23:07 |
| gdoteof | if i go to System->administration and there is nothing about printing | 23:08 |
| gdoteof | I deleted a bunch of things a while back and have been slowly piecing them back | 23:08 |
| hacktop | Well, he said it is unlikely that you can do it by a livecd | 23:08 |
| gdoteof | i'm sure it's sudo apt-get **something** | 23:08 |
| gdoteof | but idk what | 23:08 |
| n8tuser | ubuntucrashed -> you can get your network working while in livecd and then chroot to your install base and maybe you can do update there | 23:08 |
| judy | Would proprietary nvidia drivers cause trouble with a trackpad? | 23:09 |
| w1ll | doh | 23:09 |
| judy | ok | 23:09 |
| w1ll | Thank you n8tuser the immutable flag is set | 23:09 |
| kholzer | judy: I wouldn't think so... | 23:09 |
| ubuntucrashed | n8tuser: how do I get my network working and chroot the install base? | 23:09 |
| * w1ll smacks head | 23:09 | |
| n8tuser | w1ll -> okay, good luck | 23:09 |
| AMethyst | ubiquity just crashed on me anyone have experince with this? | 23:09 |
| six | kholzer, i am currently downloading, - are you sure this is what is best for my situation? | 23:10 |
| n8tuser | ubuntucrashed -> your nick is difficult to type, can you change it so its easier to identify you? too many ubuntu nicks.. | 23:10 |
| kholzer | six: downloading the cd? It should work fine. | 23:10 |
| drvenom | Will ubuntu get intel driver updates anytime soon? | 23:10 |
| gdoteof | How do I reinstall, or figure out what to reinstall to get my Ubuntu Printing administration widget back? | 23:10 |
| kholzer | six: Either way will work. | 23:10 |
| newproggie | n8tuser: using autocomplete for nicknames? | 23:10 |
| ubuntucrashed | how do i change my nick? | 23:10 |
| ubuntucrashed | lol | 23:11 |
| n8tuser | newproggie -> try it with ubu.. far too many that starts with ubu | 23:11 |
| trism | n8tuser: just use tab ub<tab> got it the first time | 23:11 |
| kholzer | six: the goal is just to get a bunch of files onto a usb-disk (and configure a few of them for your hardware and stuff). It ought to work. | 23:11 |
| six | kholzer, yes, i am now on a laptop running windows with the usb attached to it, and my other PC is without any HDD, and i want to run ubuntu from the usb for a few days until i get a new HDD | 23:11 |
| newproggie | ubuntucrashed: just type /nick and then your new name | 23:11 |
| trism | n8tuser: although I am only on this channel | 23:11 |
| n8tuser | come on be creative.. use a unique nick | 23:11 |
| newproggie | n8tuser: I see^^ | 23:11 |
| godmode | n8ter: it is me, ubuntucrashed | 23:11 |
| n8tuser | godmode okay, now.. you are on livecd right? and chatting with us? | 23:11 |

| kholzer | six: looks easy enough | 23:12 |
| godmode | n8tuser, yes im on live cd -BT# | 23:12 |
| godmode | BT3* | 23:12 |
| n8tuser | godmode, let me check my notes to properly chroot.. hang a few | 23:12 |
| nuunuu | godmode: didn't they tell you not to irc as root? :D | 23:13 |
| godmode | lol | 23:13 |
| godmode | yes | 23:13 |
| godmode | earlier today | 23:13 |
| six | kholzer, looks like the same as i am doing, but english is not my native langauge so i am just asking to be sure that this is correct solution for me | 23:13 |
| racha | Gnea: Are u here ? | 23:13 |
| six | kholzer, btw i got the UNetbootin doing the .iso download because when i try it just stucks at 137mb as completed (unetbootin source is: http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.04/ubuntu-9.04-desktop-i386.iso) | 23:14 |
| DareDevil0 | Hi you there, how reliable is the memtest | 23:15 |
| kholzer | six: it will work fine. | 23:15 |
| n8tuser | godmode takes a bit longer than i thought to wade through paperwork.. hang on | 23:15 |
| sumo_su | i'd like to install a new sound theme for the desktop... is there a folder for that? how can it be done? | 23:16 |
| godmode | n8tuser: its ok i can wait | 23:16 |
| kholzer | six: Just try it. Come back here if it doesn't work, okay? | 23:16 |
| strange | anyone know how to get harmony remote software working in virtualbox (its not recognising it i think i need to fix stuff on the usb part of it) | 23:17 |
| trism | strange: from what I understand the virtualbox in the repos doesn't have usb support, so that may be part of your problem | 23:18 |
| n8tuser | godmode we'll do this per what i can remember..lets see.. you know which partition your install is on? /dev/sda1? or wherever it is, mount it to /mnt while in livecd | 23:19 |
| strange | trism so i need to install another vbox? | 23:19 |
| n8tuser | strange -> perhaps, yeah use the sun's version as what someone mentioned earlier | 23:20 |
| six | kholzer thanks alot | 23:20 |
| strange | deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian jaunty non-free | 23:20 |

| trism | rambo298: well, in the error message, it tells you to /msg nickserv help, so I'd probably start with that | 23:24 |
| rambo298 | trism: :) i did ... nothing | 23:24 |
| godmode | n8tuser: ok i have mounted ./dev/sda1..what do i do now? | 23:25 |
| godmode | /dev/sda1 | 23:25 |
| n8tuser | godmode -> /dev/sda1 is mounted on /mnt ? | 23:26 |
| trism | rambo298: usually you do a /msg nickserv register <password> <email> | 23:26 |
| godmode | n8tuser: i have mounted /dev/sda1 to /mnt/ubuntu | 23:26 |
| trism | rambo298: then /msg nickserv identify <password> | 23:26 |
| trism | rambo298: although you may need to confirm your email | 23:27 |
| n8tuser | godmode i dont know why you added ubuntu after mnt.. but modify these per your mount point modifications | 23:27 |
| n8tuser | godmode -> sudo chroot /mnt; mount -t proc none /proc; mount -t sysfs none /sys/; export HOME=/root and then from there do the update or whatever apt-get you need to do | 23:27 |
| ZenithDK | hi, how do you mount a secondary disk so that a user can write to it? | 23:27 |

| blue112 | Hello here, I really need your help. | 23:28 |
| sebsebseb | !ask | blue112 | 23:29 |
| ubottu | blue112: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 23:29 |
| n8tuser | ZenithDK -> can you man mount for the permissions required to allow user access? i dont remember all the options | 23:29 |
| blue112 | I have a computer on my side which don't have a keyboard and don't have internet. How can I put some visual keyboard on it to apt-off everything I need ? | 23:29 |
| rambo298 | trism: that worked; txs | 23:29 |

| ZenithDK | n8tuser: will they be kept for the next time I mount also? thought not | 23:32 |
| AgainstTheFlow | I go under places to network to windows network to home. It comes up unable to mount location | 23:32 |
| n8tuser | blue112 -> how do you expect the bits gets into your spare computer if it has no network? what is your plan? | 23:32 |
| blue112 | n8tuser: I have an usb key | 23:32 |
| blue112 | and this computer (where I'm talking to you) have network. | 23:33 |
| n8tuser | ZenithDK -> not on the next reboot, | 23:33 |
| ZenithDK | n8tuser: no, thought so | 23:33 |
| trism | ZenithDK: isn't the option rw? | 23:33 |
| Fascination | Hello. I wasn't sure how to word this, or where to look, so I figured I'd come here. I installed the most recent version of ubuntu on my laptop, which is a vista computer primarily. I'm dual-booting. I set aside a 8gb partition for linux, but i wanted to know if it is possible to access files that are partitioned to the vista OS from ubuntu? | 23:33 |
| ZenithDK | I would like for it to be automounted on all boots | 23:33 |
| n8tuser | blue112 -> can you elaborate whats, the capabilities of the spare pc? | 23:33 |
| n8tuser | ZenithDK -> my cdrom is mounted like so.. /dev/scd1 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec 0 0 | 23:34 |
| blue112 | n8tuser: It's just a regular computer with a ubuntu 8.10 live cd, a mouse and a screen. | 23:34 |
| n8tuser | blue112 -> then use the livecd to install to it. borrow a keyboard from somewhere else | 23:35 |
| n8tuser | blue112 -> cant do magic without a keyboad :P | 23:35 |
| n8tuser | keyboard* | 23:35 |
| blue112 | n8tuser: If I had a keyboard i'll grap it, for sure. I don't have any here. I just need to install some visual keyboard to type with the mouse :/ | 23:36 |
| trism | Fascination: ubuntu should automatically detect them, they should be under the Places menu | 23:36 |
| Fascination | trism: I know this, but I'm unable to use any of the files. | 23:37 |
| trism | Fascination: unable to use how? | 23:37 |
| Fascination | trism: I access the drive, but any icon i double click on, nothing happens. | 23:38 |
| Fascination | I do have wine, and winetricks installed. | 23:38 |
| n8tuser | blue112 -> why not try to boot from livecd anyways and see if you can just use the mouse to click to get install started.. | 23:39 |
| kholzer | Fascination: What is the ABV % ? | 23:39 |
| kholzer | Fascination: Type? | 23:39 |
| AgainstTheFlow | biovore I go under places to network to windows network to home. It comes up unable to mount location | 23:39 |
| Fascination | kholzer: What? | 23:39 |
| blue112 | n8tuser: I'm from livecd, but there's no visual keyboard included in the livecd (and it has no internet connection) | 23:39 |
| kholzer | Fascination: (Zinfandel, Cabernet...) :) | 23:39 |
| trism | Fascination: oh you're trying to run windows software, I've never done it that way, I always do wine <path_to_file> | 23:39 |
| erick | hello | 23:40 |

| jtownsend90 | hey does amrok carry ipod support? | 23:47 |
| levander | What is the deal with Ctrl-Alt-Backspace no longer killing X? It just locks the desktop so you have to give your password now. How do I kill X with a key combination now? Or, how do I set it back so that it does kill X? | 23:48 |
| Flannel | !dontzap | levander | 23:48 |
| sebsebseb | !dontzap | levander | 23:48 |
| ubottu | levander: To re-enable the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace combination that restarts your X server, you can install the "dontzap" package and use the command « sudo dontzap --disable ». The combination Alt+SysRq+K can also be used to obtain a similar effect. | 23:48 |
