| bastid_raZor | Xodiac13: yes, completely remove everything in xorg.conf then restart again. at this point you should be using radeon driver and all should be well | 01:08 |

| Xodiac13 | bastid_raZor: man im all sorts of fed | 01:43 |
| Xodiac13 | eddy: radeon x1200 | 01:43 |
| zebastian | !es | 01:43 |
| ubottu | En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. | 01:43 |
| bastid_raZor | eddy: the x1200 | 01:43 |
| BloodAdept | anyone know how to turn on your wireless card from linux on a laptop? | 01:44 |
| === ubuntu is now known as countess | ||
| Keaton | Eddy: That's.. not the problem. It's the sound itself, it'll looping. I've turned the volume off then on again and it's still going, so it's definitely not mic feedback. | 01:44 |
| alienbrain | I can find Apache2's apxs tool for the prefork MPM. It seems to be available only in the package apache2-threaded-dev. Any idea where apxs is for apache prefork? | 01:44 |
| Ken47150 | you may have to get drivers for the wireless card sometimes also do you updates over a wired connection first | 01:45 |
| ubca | BloodAdept-> does it have a physical switch to turn on ? or in the bios perhaps? | 01:45 |
| BloodAdept | theres a combination of keys that normally turns it on or off | 01:45 |
| === aleron6 is now known as aleron | ||
| Ken47150 | sometimes the updates jumpstart the wireless card working | 01:45 |
| BloodAdept | but it's not working | 01:45 |
| Ken47150 | if ur lucky | 01:45 |
| eddy | Xodiac13, have you tried using envyng-core? | 01:46 |
| ubca | !who | 01:46 |
| ubottu | As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 01:46 |
| Chazz | how do i start compiz w/o having to invoke it from terminal? | 01:46 |
| Dreamglider | Keaton, sudo /etc/init.d/alsa restart | 01:46 |
| bastid_raZor | Chazz: which versoin of ubuntu? | 01:46 |
| Chazz | bastid_raZor, jaunty | 01:46 |
| Xodiac13 | eddy: no i havent how do i use it and will it work in ubuntu 8.10 cause im installing it right now | 01:46 |
| soreau | Chazz: Sys>Prefs>Appearance>Visual Effects. Set to anything other than None and compiz will be running | 01:47 |
| bastid_raZor | Chazz: system>preferences>appearances> visual tab | 01:47 |
| Chazz | thanks | 01:47 |
| Ken47150 | Anybody know why my dvd burner drives refuse to mount dvds ?- drives are good, they both mount cds with no issues | 01:47 |
| eddy | Xodiac13, well i can't gaurantee it will but it may fix your problem | 01:48 |
| Keaton | Dreamglider: Hm, this is weird. Command not found. I tried going into /etc/init.d too and running it there, but I just keep getting the alsa command in /sbin | 01:48 |
| Xodiac13 | eddy: how do i do it | 01:49 |
| Keaton | Dreamglider: But I can confirm that the alsa command is indeed in /etc/init.d | 01:49 |
| Dreamglider | Keaton, sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart | 01:49 |
| eddy | Keaton, sudo apt-get install envyng-core | 01:49 |
| eddy | Keaton, sorry that was to Xodiac13 | 01:49 |
| Dreamglider | Keaton, or sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio restart | 01:49 |
| Xodiac13 | eddy: sorry i didnt see it | 01:50 |
| Xodiac13 | eddy: how do i do that | 01:50 |
| jabagawee | where does compiz set LIBGL_INDIRECT_ALWAYS | 01:50 |
| Keaton | Dreamglider: Aha, error spew. I'll put it on pastebin. | 01:50 |
| jabagawee | ? | 01:50 |
| eddy | Xodiac13, sudo apt-get install envyng-core | 01:50 |
| jabagawee | LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT, that is | 01:50 |
| zebastian | wicd is not working | 01:50 |
| zebastian | i am not being able to connect to a linksys router wireless connection | 01:50 |
| zebastian | any help? | 01:50 |
| bastid_raZor | eddy: wow.. envyng is horrible :\ | 01:50 |
| Xodiac13 | eddy: and then im done or is there more i need to do | 01:50 |
| ubca | jabagawee-> that looks like an environment variable, type set in a terminal to see it its set | 01:51 |
| atrus | i'm trying to migrate from aptitude to synaptic, but there's one feature I can't find... how can I get a list of what packages are new to the system? | 01:51 |
| zebastian | i cant connect to a linksys router, the model is wrt54g | 01:51 |
| soreau | jabagawee: That's somewhat of a complicated question. But in short, it does it in compiz-manager | 01:51 |
| eddy | bastid_raZor, hey man if fglrx and radeon drivers didn't work. what do you suggest? | 01:51 |
| zebastian | everytime oi try to connect it says obtaining ID nad then it says it failed to obtain IP | 01:51 |
| Dreamglider | zebastian, try a wired connection first to setup the device. | 01:51 |
| mun | hi | 01:51 |
| jabagawee | soreau, how would i force it not to do that? and what would i lose by doing so? | 01:51 |
| Xodiac13 | eddy: is it the open source drivers and thats all i have to do | 01:51 |
| bastid_raZor | eddy: that is true, i suppose. | 01:51 |
| mun | how do you monitor the memory usage of a particular process? | 01:51 |
| coolcat | how do I unpack foo.tar.gz to an existing directry bar? | 01:51 |
| Keaton | Dreamglider: http://pastebin.com/m4edd5044 | 01:52 |
| zebastian | Dreamglider: i am on a wired connection already | 01:52 |
| ubca | java or rather maybe env | 01:52 |
| KF5CLL | test | 01:52 |
| zebastian | to it matter of fact | 01:52 |
| jabagawee | mun, i use htop | 01:52 |
| zebastian | but if i disconnect from wired and then try to login wireless | 01:52 |
| soreau | jabagawee: The ability to start compiz. If compiz-manager is setting that env var, that means your drivers aren't dri2 capable yet | 01:52 |
| jabagawee | assuming it's the most memory intensive application, you can just sort by mem% | 01:52 |
| === KF5CLL is now known as KS0FT | ||
| zebastian | it says failed to obtain ip | 01:52 |
| mun | jabagawee, well it's not the most memory intensive unfortunately | 01:52 |
| mun | jabagawee, can i specify a pid? | 01:52 |
| ubca | zebastian-> whats your network layout look like? have a drawing? | 01:53 |
| jabagawee | mun, yes, htop can sort by pid | 01:53 |
| zebastian | how do you mean network layout¿? | 01:53 |
| cdavis_ | can anyone suggest a good amazon s3 bucket browser for ubuntu? | 01:53 |
| ubca | zebastian-> what is connected to which device and such | 01:53 |
| eddy | Xodiac13, you may have to restart but yea | 01:53 |
| zebastian | there's a router connected to a cable connection which is wired to a windows computer | 01:53 |
| mun | jabagawee, right, but can i specify one explicitly? | 01:53 |
| ubca | zebastian-> a picture is worth a thousand words.. | 01:53 |
| jabagawee | mun, you can't search by pid, but you can search by process name | 01:54 |
| zebastian | modem to router, router to windows pc and wireless for everyone | 01:54 |
| jabagawee | then again, htop might not be what you need | 01:54 |
| Alan502 | hi :) | 01:54 |
| eddy | Xodiac13, ah i just looked (lsmod <3) my machine uses the radeon driver. never thought they ever make it work for my x1400 | 01:54 |
| ubca | zebastian-> a picture is worth a thousand words.. <-- | 01:54 |
| eddy | Xodiac13, idk why it shouldn't work for your x1200 :-\ | 01:54 |
| zebastian | ubca, i'm at a public place without a camera | 01:55 |
| mdg_ | zebastian: what kind of wifi card you have? | 01:55 |
| ubca | zebastian-> draw it in boxes.. | 01:55 |
| zebastian | how do i check that¿ | 01:55 |
| Alan502 | help here! | 01:55 |
| Alan502 | good night | 01:55 |
| jabagawee | soreau, can i simply force it to not export the variable, and just start compiz with it exported, non-globally? | 01:55 |
| zebastian | ubca, with which command can i check which wifi card i have¿ | 01:56 |
| jabagawee | Alan502, what help do you need? | 01:56 |
| mdg_ | zebastian: lspci in a terminal, if USB then lsusb | 01:56 |
| Alan502 | i screwed a partition with the ubuntu installer apparently ¬¬ | 01:56 |
| jabagawee | zebastian, lspci/lsusb | 01:56 |
| mun | jabagawee, hmm how do you sort by pid? | 01:56 |
| zebastian | !paste | 01:56 |

| Xgates | anyone know a guide to help setup Rhythmbox to play Radio? I have installed all sorts of codecs along with mplayer and I can't get it to play radio stations | 01:56 |
| Alan502 | jabagawee, before the installation i had two partitions only | 01:56 |
| Alan502 | one about 30 gigs for system | 01:57 |
| Keaton | Dreamglider, did you get my pastebin link? | 01:57 |
| Alan502 | and the rest 130 gigs aprox for data files | 01:57 |
| jabagawee | !pastebininit | 01:57 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about pastebininit | 01:57 |
| zebastian | http://paste.ubuntu.com/274446/ | 01:57 |
| Alan502 | then, as i was going to install ubuntu, jabagawee | 01:57 |
| soreau | jabagawee: I don't understand what you mean by nonglobally, but you can start the binary manually by setting that variable | 01:57 |
| jabagawee | !pastebinit | 01:57 |
| ubottu | pastebinit is the command-line equivelent of !pastebin . Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output. Simple usage: command-name | pastebinit | 01:57 |
| eddy | Xodiac13, have you tried this guide? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI | 01:57 |
| Alan502 | i partitioned 20 gigs in etx3 | 01:57 |
| Alan502 | then i dont know what i selected in the installation | 01:58 |
| Alan502 | that it apparently installed inside the 110 gig ntfs partition | 01:58 |
| jabagawee | soreau, eh, kinda what i meant. basically give the entire system direct rendering, and start compiz with "LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 compiz" | 01:58 |
| Ken47150 | help? mount: /dev/sr1: unknown device when trying to mount dvds | 01:58 |
| n00b_ | ok new to ubuntu like one week....im sooo lost | 01:58 |
| Alan502 | and i cant access the files there | 01:58 |
| Alan502 | would you help me? | 01:58 |
| ubca | zebastian-> read the results to to clue you in a bit, learn what it spits out | 01:58 |
| Alan502 | damn it | 01:58 |
| zebastian | http://paste.ubuntu.com/274447/ | 01:58 |
| Xgates | Rhythmbox keeps complaining about a text/html decoder anyone know anything? | 01:58 |
| jabagawee | Alan502, so you installed ubuntu onto your ntfs partition? | 01:58 |
| Xodiac13 | eddy: no i havent will it be better to do than envy | 01:58 |
| jabagawee | and it got formatted as ext3? | 01:58 |
| Alan502 | apparently | 01:58 |
| Alan502 | mmm | 01:59 |
| mdg_ | zebastian: what do you get from the command "ifconfig" | 01:59 |
| Alan502 | its cause | 01:59 |
| eddy | Xodiac13, yes | 01:59 |
| Alan502 | when i browsed it with partition manager, on windows | 01:59 |
| soreau | jabagawee: That's not going to do what you think it might. You must run compiz with --indirect-rendering or else you need dri2. What are you trying to do specifically? | 01:59 |
| Alan502 | it shows up like if the previous partition had been partitoined again | 01:59 |
| Ken47150 | can anybody help me with dvd mounting issue? | 01:59 |
| Alan502 | let me upload a screen cap | 01:59 |
| jabagawee | soreau, maybe i should just forgo compiz | 01:59 |
| zebastian | mdg http://paste.ubuntu.com/274448/ | 01:59 |
| chaukar_ | #eclipse @ irc.rizon.net | 01:59 |
| soreau | jabagawee: Depends on your setup and what you're trying to accomplish | 01:59 |
| Dreamglider | Keaton, use sudo infront | 02:00 |
| soreau | jabagawee: DRI@ is right around the corner for radeon and already available for intel | 02:00 |
| jabagawee | soreau, well i have fglrx, which doesn't support dri2. i also want hardware direct rendering for everythign | 02:00 |
| Dreamglider | Keaton, oops you did | 02:00 |
| mdg_ | zebastian: you don't have wireless interface setup | 02:00 |
| Dreamglider | sry | 02:00 |
| zebastian | ubca, what do i do now? | 02:00 |
| soreau | jabagawee: dri2* | 02:00 |
| ubca | zebastian-> have you tried reading the results yet? | 02:00 |
| justin_ | hey im trying to get a usb wirless card working on my laptop and im having some trouble can anyone shed some light on the situation | 02:00 |
| zebastian | mdg: how do i set it up? usually i can log into wireless networks with wicd | 02:00 |
| soreau | jabagawee: Which model card do you have exactly? | 02:00 |
| Keaton | Dreamglider, http://pastebin.com/m4edd5044 | 02:00 |
| ubca | zebastian-> its there, you just have to learn how to read the results | 02:00 |
| jabagawee | soreau, HD4850, radeon and radeonhd do not support it with 3d accel yet | 02:00 |
| zebastian | ubca, the results to which¿? | 02:01 |
| ubca | zebastian-> lspci | 02:01 |
| soreau | jabagawee: They do, but you need latest kernel, libdrm, xf86-video-ati and mesa | 02:01 |
| mdg_ | zebastian: you are using wicd - what does it show for the name of your wireless connection? | 02:01 |
| Dreamglider | Keaton, sry cant help you, i dont know how. | 02:01 |
| jabagawee | soreau, oh, since when was that developed? | 02:01 |
| soreau | jabagawee: For ubuntu, the support should be available by at least 10.04 release I suspect | 02:01 |
| zebastian | mdg, cap | 02:01 |
| soreau | jabagawee: Very recently. And it is still under heavy development | 02:02 |
| jabagawee | soreau, also they make the fan on the video card run at 100%, making it really whiny and quite unacceptable | 02:02 |
| mdg_ | zebastian: whats "cap" | 02:02 |
| zebastian | the ngo where i work at | 02:02 |
| jabagawee | soreau, i'll probably go back to radeonhd soon enough | 02:02 |
| eddy | justin_, depends on what device you are using | 02:02 |
| soreau | jabagawee: That is to be worked on | 02:02 |
| === john is now known as Guest92736 | ||
| zebastian | and upca, i'm not here to learn, i'm here to fix as best as i can, this is not my house connection there i can connect no problem to wireless | 02:02 |
| soreau | jabagawee: But for right now with fglrx, if you want 3D for other things, you might as well turn compiz off or run dual X servers | 02:02 |
| jabagawee | soreau, until then, i guess i'll stick with fglrx | 02:02 |
| jabagawee | soreau, yep, no compiz for me | 02:02 |
| justin_ | eddy, im using a netgear wnda3100 usb wireless shows up in lsusb just cant seem to get it to wrk need a point in the right direction | 02:02 |
| mdg_ | zebastian: you are too far ahead there - in wicd, you need to tell it what your wireless interface is called - I use "wlan0" | 02:03 |
| jabagawee | how would i keep track of radeonhd development? | 02:03 |
| ubca | zebastian-> are you getting paid to do this? | 02:03 |
| zebastian | ubca, no i'm not | 02:03 |
| soreau | jabagawee: You should keep track of radeon development. It supports everything radeonhd does and more afaik | 02:03 |
| ubca | zebastian-> and you dont want to take the effort to learn at all? | 02:03 |
| zebastian | mdg, i am not going to configure the connection, the connection is already configured from a windows computer | 02:03 |
| Xodiac13 | eddy: okay thanks man i will try it out | 02:03 |
| jabagawee | soreau, hm, i'm unsure as to what the radeon/radeonhd split is all about. something to do with atombios, but that difference has been somewhat changed now | 02:04 |
| zebastian | ubca, yes, but for this specific particular case i just want to fix it, save the irc log and go home and read it later | 02:04 |
| soreau | jabagawee: If you can find the radeon devs blogs or phoronix forums keeps up on all that stuff | 02:04 |
| mdg_ | zebastian: this is configuring linux to use the wireless card | 02:04 |
| mdg_ | nothing to do with your router | 02:04 |
| soreau | jabagawee: Just wait till 10.04, should be much better and available in stable by then | 02:04 |
| jabagawee | soreau, i can't wait :D | 02:04 |
| zebastian | mdg, great give me the first command to do that and i'll do it | 02:05 |
| zebastian | and ubca all i saw there was a list of devices | 02:05 |
| jabagawee | soreau, didn't think of phoronix forums, only read their articles (which are somewhat dated). do you have a link to the radeon devs? | 02:05 |
| soreau | jabagawee: I couldn't either which is why I installed all the latest code here ;) | 02:05 |
| mdg_ | zebastian: in WICD, you need to setup your wireless interface - tell it what you want to use - - I suggest using "wlan0" (thats a zero not an oh) | 02:06 |
| Xgates | Does anyone know anything about RythmBox text/html decoder plugin ? | 02:06 |
| zebastian | mdg, i am on the gui | 02:06 |
| Jorik1 | I have a problem with my Hp printer and HPLIP , could somebody help me with that ? | 02:06 |
| eddy | justin_, well it seems your card has to use the ndiswrapper, see if this thread on ubuntuforums will help http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=690699 | 02:06 |
| mdg_ | zebastian: I don't have WICD installed right now. | 02:06 |
| mdg_ | zebastian: WICD has a GUI | 02:06 |
| justin_ | eddy, thanks much if i have a problem ill bring it back here | 02:06 |
| eddy | zebastian, run wicd-client | 02:06 |
| mdg_ | anyone here using WICD? Can you guide zebastian ? | 02:06 |
| zebastian | mdg, i knwo, so i see the list of wireless networks and there it is teh one i want to connect to, i already have the password | 02:06 |
| zebastian | i enter it | 02:07 |
| zebastian | and it connects | 02:07 |
| eddy | mdg_, i am | 02:07 |
| zebastian | then it says obtaining ip | 02:07 |
| ubca | zebastian-> yes it is listed, your clue is network, | 02:07 |
| Alan502 | jabagawee:http://imgur.com/Abge7.jpg (sorry for the low res but im strugling with that pc as the damaged partition was the one that contained all the programs i had installed) | 02:07 |
| zebastian | and it says unable to optain ip | 02:07 |
| eddy | justin_, good luck | 02:07 |
| m4tt | hello | 02:07 |
| mdg_ | zebastian: lets back up here - in a terminal type sudo iwlist scan and tell us what you see | 02:07 |
| Xgates | no one uses RythmBox to listen to Radio? | 02:08 |
| zebastian | ubca, i went to wicd then preferences then network interfaces | 02:08 |
| jabagawee | Alan502, is that large bluish highlighted bar an extended partition? | 02:08 |
| m4tt | Im new to ubuntu and I've got some problems with resolution. It seems that Ubuntu isnt recognizing my monitor. | 02:08 |
| ubca | zebastian-> ill let mdg_ take the lead, ill comment when needed | 02:08 |
| Alan502 | thats the partition i had previously, the one with all my data | 02:08 |
| zebastian | mdg http://paste.ubuntu.com/274449/ | 02:08 |
| Alan502 | the one on the left, C | 02:08 |
| soreau | jabagawee: http://airlied.livejournal.com/ | 02:08 |
| Alan502 | is the partition with windows installation | 02:09 |
| mdg_ | ubca: I don't have WICD installed - don't recall all the screens | 02:09 |
| Alan502 | the yellow one on the left, was the one i supposedly created to install ubuntu | 02:09 |
| ubca | mdg_-> i dont use gui myself | 02:09 |
| mdg_ | zebastian: "sudo iwlist scan" (without quotes) | 02:09 |
| Alan502 | but it apparently installed inside the D partition, the small yellow square shows it | 02:09 |
| mdg_ | ubca: lol - ohhh... | 02:09 |
| tomas__ | Hii | 02:10 |
| eddy | zebastian, go in preferences > external programs in wicd-client and select dhclient | 02:10 |
| zebastian | mdg, http://paste.ubuntu.com/274450/ | 02:10 |
| jabagawee | Alan502, i find it confusing that a partition somehow got into another. im afraid that i dont understand | 02:10 |
| zebastian | eddy, that's already selected | 02:10 |
| jabagawee | you might be able to get help from someone better qualified | 02:10 |
| m4tt | Hello, can someone help me? | 02:10 |
| justin_ | eddy, i just open the inf from the xp side install through ndis correct? | 02:11 |
| mdg_ | zebastian: again, no wifi interface is setup... | 02:11 |
| Guest15876 | I am having trouble getting my iPod to show up in Banshee. Can anyone help? | 02:11 |
| ubca | zebastian-> which of those are allowed to connect ? | 02:11 |
| ubca | zebastian-> which of those are you* allowed to connect ? | 02:11 |
| Xgates | can someone please help me to get rhythmbox working to play Radio? | 02:11 |
| eddy | justin_, yes install the .inf with ndiswrapper | 02:11 |
| zebastian | ubca, cap | 02:11 |
| zebastian | i have the password to cap | 02:11 |
| Alan502 | :/ i dont understan neither jabagawee, but thats what comes up. Thanks i think i will have to do the whole formatting. | 02:11 |
| zebastian | mdg, what does that mean¿? how do i set it up then? | 02:11 |
| Guest15876 | will rhythm box play my iPod? | 02:11 |
| tomas__ | can someone help me? | 02:12 |
| jabagawee | Alan502, i'm pretty sure you can still save your data | 02:12 |
| zebastian | mdg, heck even from the command line | 02:12 |
| zebastian | how do i set it up | 02:12 |
| jabagawee | if it's important, don't lose hope just yet | 02:12 |
| ubca | zebastian-> well perhaps the AP owner changed parameters or filter those who can connect.. ? | 02:12 |
| bastid_raZor | ^/msg ubottu gtkpod | 02:12 |
| Alan502 | mmm i can access my data, from ubuntu | 02:12 |
| eddy | zebastian, you could always just setup your own static ip for the computer | 02:12 |
| Alan502 | but the problem is at windows | 02:12 |
| mdg_ | ubca: could you guide him setting up wlan0 interface from command line? | 02:12 |
| zebastian | ubca, the ap owner just reconfigured the network there's no firewall or restrictions just wep and a passphrase | 02:13 |
| zebastian | eddy, how? | 02:13 |
| ubca | mdg_-> i can, but if the AP is not allowing, i cant do much | 02:13 |

| eddy | zebastian, well do you know the IP of your router? should be like 192.168.0.1 or something | 02:13 |
| sebsebseb | tomas__: I just joined what do you want help with? | 02:13 |
| zebastian | hold on | 02:13 |
| ubca | zebastian-> ask the owner again to perhaps try without wep or any encryption enabled, see if you can connect | 02:13 |
| ubca | eddy-> that will not work without him associating to the AP | 02:14 |
| trism | zebastian: looks like a WEP access point, should just be as (assuming iwconfig lists your interface as wlan0), iwconfig wlan0 essid "cap"; iwconfig wlan0 key restricted hex_key_here; dhclient wlan0 | 02:14 |
| zebastian | ubca, without encryption it won't connect | 02:14 |
| Guest15876 | thank you for the iPod info, going to go to the link now | 02:14 |
| zebastian | typing the ip in didn'tr work either, he did that before i came here | 02:14 |
| JuanCarlos | I want to post a submmision here : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Website/KarmicCountdownBanners , i got FTP for the .tar.gz, but how to attach the image sample here...??? | 02:14 |
| zebastian | trism = i.e. type that into terminal? | 02:15 |
| hikenboot | I have setup a machine for my nephew, he does not have internet access, its a mac g4, running ubuntu 9.04 | 02:15 |
| trism | zebastian: yes | 02:15 |
| ubca | zebastian-> then there is something wrong, as minimum if everything is working then at least no encryption should allow you to connect | 02:15 |
| eddy | zebastian, do you know the router's IP? | 02:15 |
| tomas__ | Hi, thanks, I'm on kubuntu, I have problems with the rods, simply disappeared when restart | 02:15 |
| ubca | eddy-> that will not work without him associating to the AP <-- | 02:15 |
| sebsebseb | tomas__: the what? | 02:15 |
| hikenboot | I want to mirror all the repositories onto the hard drive, how would i go about doing this? | 02:15 |
| armyriad | Are there any games like Nethack that can be played in the terminal? | 02:15 |
| trism | zebastian: you should just type iwconfig without any args first to check your interface name | 02:15 |
| mdg_ | trism: he previously posted is ifconfig - no wlan0 is defined.... | 02:15 |
| zebastian | ubca, i'm on wired connection | 02:15 |
| UBestB | hikenboot: apt-cache | 02:15 |
| ubca | zebastian-> on same router/AP ? | 02:15 |
| trism | mdg_: ifconfig won't list wireless interfaces if they aren't configured | 02:15 |
| tomas__ | the bar | 02:15 |
| trism | mdg_: but iwconfig will | 02:16 |
| === dab_ is now known as Jacksu | ||
| tomas__ | sorry for my bad english >( | 02:16 |
| sebsebseb | tomas__: ok try #kubuntu | 02:16 |
| mdg_ | trism: right - we seem to be having trouble getting him to setup his wireless interface | 02:16 |
| zebastian | trism http://paste.ubuntu.com/274453/ | 02:16 |
| zebastian | ubca, yes i have a wired connection to that router right now | 02:16 |
| trism | zebastian: you seem to want eth1 | 02:16 |
| trism | zebastian: so replace wlan0 with eth1 | 02:17 |
| ubca | zebastian please do not do that, having two connections to same subnet, unless you really know what you are doing | 02:17 |
| kevin__ | I tried doing an upgrade to karmic alpha from ubuntu 9.04, and now my system won't boot. Is there a way to downgrade it from a livecd using chroot or something similar? | 02:17 |

| tomas__ | i have to type this in the terminal?? | 02:17 |
| justin_ | eddy, i have the driver installed how do i switch from the onboard card to the usb card | 02:17 |
| ubca | zebastian-> think about it as beging the packet, and which interface should you be going out of your box? | 02:18 |
| JuanCarlos | anyone read me please?, i want to know if empathy works here... | 02:18 |
| Xodiac13 | eddy: uh that website is the worst of getting the card to work | 02:18 |
| Alan502 | whats up JuanCarlos | 02:18 |
| JuanCarlos | I want to post a submmision here : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Website/KarmicCountdownBanners , i got FTP for the .tar.gz, but how to attach the image sample here...??? | 02:18 |
| zebastian | ubca, i didn't understand your last statement | 02:18 |
| Xodiac13 | eddy: its stuck and the screen is blinking and stuck at checking battery state | 02:18 |
| Alan502 | ah not expert, came for help too | 02:18 |
| ubca | zebastian-> think about it as being* the packet, and which interface should you be going out of your box? which of the two? wireless or ethernet? | 02:18 |
| Alan502 | but i see its hard to get some attention | 02:18 |
| Alan502 | xD | 02:18 |
| ubca | arggh cant type.. | 02:19 |
| zebastian | ubca, right now i am on a wired connection, that is what is going out of my box i guess | 02:19 |
| ubca | zebastian-> think about it you as being* the packet, and which interface should you be going out of your box? which of the two? wireless or ethernet? | 02:19 |
| mdg_ | Alan502: what was your question? | 02:19 |
| voidmage | I have a a windows xp setup in vmware that I'm trying to share a folder to through samba. It can see the folder when it logs in as me, but it's read-only. How can I make it able to be written to? | 02:19 |
| ubca | zebastian please do not do that, having two connections to same subnet, unless you really know what you are doing | 02:19 |
| zebastian | 192.168.1.xxx | 02:19 |
| zebastian | thaqt's teh ip to the router upca | 02:19 |

| === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log | ||
| zebastian | i don't ahve two connections | 02:20 |
| zebastian | i only have one | 02:20 |
| Alan502 | mdg_, thanks, my question was... how can i solve my partition problem? | 02:20 |
| zebastian | the wired one | 02:20 |
| Alan502 | this is what happened | 02:20 |
| ubca | zebastian-> you will upon your wireless getting connected. so dont do it | 02:20 |
| zebastian | ubca, ok | 02:20 |
| Alan502 | this is how i have currently my disk partitioned, mdg_ http://imgur.com/Abge7.jpg | 02:20 |
| ubca | unless you know what you are doing, ie familiar with route tables and such | 02:20 |
| zebastian | ok, so what od i do to enable the wireless once i disconnect from the router | 02:20 |
| zebastian | as i'm in the office which is not open all the time | 02:20 |
| zebastian | and i want to be able to connect from the wireless connection next time | 02:21 |
| trism | ubca: I kind of doubt it makes a difference at this point, I'm sure he's just on the wired connection so he can get help configuring...the world isn't going to explode if he configures them both | 02:21 |
| ubca | trism and thats where his confusion arises, having two nics enabled and he will not know what to do | 02:21 |
| eddy | Xodiac13, ah well fglrx doesn't work i guess. edit xorg.conf to use the radeon driver for the time being then and i guess try envyng-core | 02:21 |
| eddy | Xodiac13, trial and error :-\ | 02:22 |
| ubca | zebastian-> assuming you have he wifi confguration matching the configs of AP to allow access, ifup eth1 should do the trick | 02:22 |
| dlp211 | is there a way to set up an internal dns so that if i type something like https://dlp211server/ it points to my ip address? | 02:22 |
| eddy | justin_, tell your network manager to use ndiswrapper now | 02:22 |
| JuanCarlos | "send a message to the web presence" said, whos Web Presence, im looking for that guy | 02:22 |
| ubca | zebastian-> but disable the ethernet before doing such | 02:22 |
| zebastian | ubca, how do i do that | 02:22 |
| amseidler | I am trying to install byzanz. Has anyone ever installed it? I could use some help | 02:22 |
| bastid_raZor | dlp211: yeah, localhost | 02:22 |
| trism | ubca: ifup isn't going to do anything if the wireless isn't configured | 02:22 |
| justin_ | eddy, lol i know some but ive forgotten much more than i know, lol a lil elaboration would be beautiful =] | 02:23 |
| trism | ubca: in /etc/network/interfaces | 02:23 |
| ubca | trism i said if his configs matches.. read what i typed.. | 02:23 |
| Alan502 | ah, will someone care to help me? i will really appreciate it :) | 02:23 |
| zebastian | what do you pepole mean the wireless isn't configured? io am abnle to connect to my wireless router at home | 02:23 |
| zebastian | a lynksys N | 02:23 |
| Xodiac13 | eddy: yup trail and never going to get it to work im bumbed out | 02:23 |
| eddy | justin_, did you modprobe ndiswrapper? | 02:24 |
| ubca | zebastian-> matching parameters, your wifi nic active and such.. | 02:24 |
| Xodiac13 | eddy: no one knows how long ive been trying to find a distro for that laptop im tired of Windoze except for gaming | 02:24 |
| justin_ | eddy, no just "sudo ndiswrapper -i arusb_xp.inf | 02:24 |
| eddy | justin_, see if ndiswrapper is loaded: lsmod | grep ndis | 02:25 |
| mdg_ | Alan502: not sure what to tell you.... | 02:25 |
| ubca | Alan502-> what is the problem? i have not payed attention | 02:25 |
| mdg_ | Alan502: can't tell from screen shot what partion is to the far right of where your cursor is? | 02:26 |
| voidmage | Does anyone know how to make it so I can write to my folder I'm sharing to windows? | 02:26 |
| mdg_ | Alan502: it shows yellow and 20.9 Gig ???? | 02:26 |
| UBestB | voidmage a samba shared folder? | 02:26 |
| voidmage | Yeah, shared through samba | 02:27 |
| Alan502 | its cause, the yellow partition of 20 gigs was the one i created before the installation | 02:27 |
| Alan502 | to supposedly install it there | 02:27 |
| mdg_ | Alan502: is that a screenshot of gparted or something in windows? | 02:27 |
| Alan502 | its something in windows | 02:27 |
| mdg_ | Alan502: you have a live cd you can boot into and use gparted? | 02:27 |
| Alan502 | i cant even get to run gparted because i ran out of space in the 2.5 gig partition ubuntu created | 02:27 |
| Alan502 | i can boot in ubuntu | 02:28 |
| Alan502 | and read all my files | 02:28 |
| mdg_ | Alan502: I believe you have to resize the windows partition smaller before you make your ubuntu partition | 02:28 |
| chunda | hi guys, i have a rtl8187b wireless driver, and i've searched a lot and put the "iwconfig wlan0 rate 5.5M fixed" in the rc.local ro fix the sort range problem and now this is ok, i can navigate through pages pretty well, BUT the downloads are a problem. the connection get very unstable and i'm unable to finish most of the downloads | 02:28 |

| amseidler | Hi | 02:28 |
| Alan502 | mmm | 02:28 |

| Alan502 | mdg_: i can read all my files in ubuntu, but i cant read those in D in windows | 02:28 |
| amseidler | I tried instabaul, or what ever it's called, and it doesn't show any movement when I play the file bac | 02:28 |
| mdg_ | Alan502: oh you messed up windows.... | 02:28 |
| UBestB | amseidler: a screen cast program? | 02:28 |
| JuanCarlos | for wifi troubles, if nothing works, 9.10 works with all major Wifi cards and 3G thingy | 02:29 |
| eddy | amseidler, gtkrecordmydesktop | 02:29 |
| amseidler | UBestB: If by that you mean a program that records what you're doing on your screen, then yet | 02:29 |
| amseidler | Ok | 02:29 |
| Alan502 | i messed up the partition with all my data, when trying to access it from windows | 02:29 |
| amseidler | eddy: Is that in add/remove? | 02:29 |
| JuanCarlos | if you can install development | 02:29 |
| ubca | JuanCarlos-> really? without using backports? | 02:29 |
| eddy | amseidler, i hear it's the best | 02:29 |
| amseidler | eddy: Ok :) | 02:29 |
| eddy | amseidler, uhh yea it should be | 02:29 |
| Zeno_Arrow | Hi all, are there any channel admins present? Need someone to use the nickserv sendpass command so I can log in properly. | 02:29 |
| mdg_ | Alan502: so you need to rescue your windows data right? | 02:29 |
| amseidler | eddy: It's not | 02:29 |
| hikenboot | UBestB, to make this problem even more difficult I run centos at home, I could boot a VM with Ubuntu but it would be x86 32 bit archs not a mac G4 with ubuntu 9.04, is there a way to mirror distro repositories without using a rpm based distro for a apt based distro? | 02:30 |
| amseidler | eddy: which download do I get? http://recordmydesktop.sourceforge.net/downloads.php | 02:30 |
| chunda | could anyone help me please? | 02:30 |
| eddy | amseidler, sudo apt-get install gtk-recordmydesktop | 02:30 |

| mdg_ | Alan502: and you can't mount ntfs (D: drive)? | 02:30 |
| Alan502 | exactly | 02:31 |
| digitalvaldosta | hello everyone, I am trying to setup a list of apturls on my site of packages that a general Ubuntu user should install. I am trying to list mozilla-acroread and it does not work. anyone know what is wrong? -->> apturl:mozilla-acroread | 02:31 |
| ubca | JuanCarlos-> thats cool, somehow someone here earlier complained about that and somebody else suggested using the backport to access the drivers | 02:31 |
| amseidler | eddy: Ok, it's installing. Now to test it :). Thanks for the help :) | 02:31 |
| Alan502 | but i can from ubuntu, i think ubuntu sniffing in that partition screwed it up | 02:31 |
| mdg_ | Alan502: so you need to force a mount of ntfs through ubuntu to copy your files from borked windows install? | 02:31 |
| Eugenio | hello | 02:31 |

| chunda | i dunno, i've just copied and paste | 02:48 |
| chunda | if i run without this command, i can only connect near the wifi router | 02:48 |
| adante | yeah like e8400 slow | 02:49 |
| eddy | does it run on vacuum tubes? | 02:49 |
| chunda | and i'm still have an unstable wifi connection | 02:49 |
| bastid_raZor | [[thufir]]: i think that is the first time i've ever seen that question asked. | 02:49 |
| [[thufir]] | I have a slow connection | 02:49 |

| adante | so how do i tell if my drives are using dma nowadays? | 02:49 |
| eddy | dma? | 02:50 |
| adante | preferably without having to rebuild kernel, install 426 sources etc | 02:50 |
| causasui | I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 and I just installed Konqueror. Is there any way to maek it the default file manager? | 02:50 |
| sinan | eddy: iotop did it :) | 02:50 |
| bastid_raZor | [[thufir]]: it would still take just as long either way, yet i don't think it is possible. but if dependency is updated and you don't update the other package then you have broken packages | 02:51 |
| tomas__ | hi again | 02:51 |
| eddy | sinam, cool *top is awesome | 02:52 |
| aj_444 | Which is the best: ubuntu, kubuntu, xubuntu, or lubuntu? | 02:52 |
| chunda | ubca: so i just don't know what i have to do to have a stable wifi | 02:52 |
| tomas__ | y try typin startx and say me, server fatal error, is already in use or something like that | 02:53 |
| ubca | chunda -> there are no guaranteed speed with wifi, try using wired | 02:53 |
| eddy | aj_444, depends on your taste | 02:53 |
| Cyrano_De | aj_444: That is like asking which is best: red, green, blue or purple. Depends on your canvas and what you like. | 02:53 |
| DigitalKiwi | sinan: so iotop does what you need? | 02:53 |
| eddy | i prefer ubuntu and customize my gnome setup | 02:53 |
| aj_444 | eddy, Cyrano_De: I'm looking for something I really can make my own, but that is easy to use. I mean, I know that ubuntu by nature is by far the easiest linux distro to use out there, but are there ones that are simpler than others? | 02:54 |
| Cyrano_De | I've taken a likeing to xubuntu lately myself. Ever since KDE4 anyway. | 02:54 |
| sinan | DigitalKiwi: yep ! :) | 02:55 |
| DigitalKiwi | cool | 02:55 |
| eddy | aj_444, well LinuxMint is a flavor that is based off of Ubuntu that may be 'easier' | 02:55 |
| sinan | DigitalKiwi: I wonder if there is a similar tool for network usage .. is there any? | 02:55 |
| eddy | *flavor - i mean distro | 02:55 |
| aj_444 | eddy: I need something that is running in karmic because well, jaunty hates my netbook. | 02:55 |
| DigitalKiwi | sinan: yeah =D | 02:55 |
| sinan | DigitalKiwi: what is it called ? :P | 02:56 |
| navetz | does anyone know how i can install alsamixer | 02:56 |
| DigitalKiwi | 1 community/iftop 0.17-8 iftop does for network usage what top(1) does for CPU usage | 02:56 |
| eddy | aj_444, i never tested karmic. i'm still on stable releases, such as jaunty | 02:56 |
| aj_444 | eddy: does linux mint have an alpha out, or do you not know? | 02:57 |
| eddy | aj_444, idk | 02:57 |
| penix | i'm watching this movie and a guy was taking a shit and this chick walks in and starts licking his fingers right after he wipes his ass ... and now she's fucking him on the toilet w/ his nasty shit still in the the toilet | 02:57 |
| penix | now the chick's taking a shit right after they finished fucking ... this is awesome ... i love foreign films | 02:57 |
| aj_444 | eddy: I'll google around. | 02:57 |
| td123 | aj_444: mint is stable | 02:57 |
| aj_444 | td123: so no unstables based off karmic are out? | 02:57 |
| eddy | aj_444, mint usually releases their newest version a couple months after ubuntu devs release their latest | 02:57 |
| td123 | aj_444: oh, dunno | 02:57 |
| aj_444 | and, how do you report people? penix.. is wow. ew. | 02:58 |
| kruykaze | navetz, the gnome one? | 02:58 |
| eddy | for example, i doubt they will be mint in karmic until december or january | 02:58 |
| DigitalKiwi | aj_444: are you looking for bleeding edge or something? | 02:58 |
| mdg_ | aj_444: http://www.linuxmint.com/oldreleases.php - I love linux Mint! | 02:58 |
| causasui | I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 and I just installed Konqueror. Is there any way to maek it the default file manager? | 02:58 |
| navetz | kruykaze: the terminal one | 02:58 |
| eddy | mdg_, i do too but for some reason when i booted mint livecd i get a system hault, so i guess mint does not like my acer laptop :-( | 02:58 |
| aj_444 | DigitalKiwi: Preferably. Its the only thing that'll work on my asus 1005ha. | 02:58 |
| DigitalKiwi | http://oswatershed.org/ aj_444 | 02:59 |
| eddy | causasui, just use Kubuntu | 02:59 |
| mdg_ | eddy: have you tried eeeubuntu? | 02:59 |
| Cyrano_De | aj_444: For low resource machines I would go with xubuntu or lubuntu | 02:59 |
| eddy | mdg_, i don't have an eeepc | 03:00 |
| eddy | i wish i did tho | 03:00 |
| causasui | eddy: stupid answer | 03:00 |
| chunda | ubca: without the command, is worse and with a short range | 03:00 |
| Cyrano_De | aj_444: There is also the netbook remix. | 03:00 |
| kruykaze | navetz, not familiar with it do you know the name? | 03:00 |
| chase1 | hello, something has happened and my ubuntu has become corrupted and i cannot get rid of it from my system. i have uninstalled from windows and tried to edit boot.ini but it still shows up in my dual boot screen and all attempts to reinstall have failed. does anyone have any idea what i should do? | 03:00 |
| aj_444 | Cyrano_De: I like the desktop enviroment. The launcher irritates me. | 03:00 |
| kruykaze | navetz, actually i think that one is buit in | 03:00 |
| navetz | kruykaze: well when you type alsamixer in a terminal it usually shows up | 03:00 |
| aj_444 | DigitalKiwi: Are those listed as future releases up for download? | 03:01 |
| mdg_ | eddy: what processor you have? | 03:01 |
| Cyrano_De | aj_444: You can set the interface back to a standard gnome desktop in the NBR | 03:01 |
| mdg_ | eddy: I've been told that acer aspire and eeepc have same components | 03:01 |
| kruykaze | navetz, and what dod you wanna do | 03:02 |
| eddy | mdg_, intel dual core | 03:02 |
| Cyrano_De | mdg_: almost all netbooks have the same components | 03:02 |
| DigitalKiwi | aj_444: all of those are available right now afaik | 03:02 |
| navetz | kruykaze: well i am actually trying to fix my soundcard | 03:02 |
| mdg_ | eddy: give Mint 7 a try... | 03:02 |
| aj_444 | DigitalKiwi: Thanks. I'll test some of them out. | 03:02 |
| eddy | causasui, well i believe then you can change your default by editing some .desktop files in /usr/share/applications | 03:02 |
| DigitalKiwi | if you want opinins on any of them ask me | 03:03 |
| kruykaze | navetz, and you're looking for a graphical mixer? | 03:03 |
| mdg_ | Cyrano_De: they almost have the same components - but acer aspire and eeepc are the closest match | 03:03 |
| aj_444 | DigitalKiwi: For ease of use, which would you recommend? | 03:03 |
| Cyrano_De | I was just looking at Toshiba 205 and a gateway AMD based this evening. | 03:03 |
| navetz | kruykaze: no I am just trying to fix my sound, and i'm missing alsamixer | 03:03 |
| aj_444 | eddy: you're having netbook problems? | 03:03 |
| eddy | mdg_, i have and the livecd gave me a system hault message when loading vmlinuz... | 03:03 |
| chunda | ubca: speed is not the problem | 03:04 |
| chunda | ubca: the connection gets stuck. | 03:04 |
| DigitalKiwi | fedora rawhide is probably what i'd use if i didn't want to configure everything, arch is what i use most of the time | 03:04 |
| kruykaze | you can't do sudo apt get install alsamixer? | 03:04 |
| kruykaze | apt-get* | 03:04 |
| DigitalKiwi | this is ot though, pm me if you want | 03:04 |
| [[thufir]] | synaptic is able to create a bunch of wget's, like: wget -c http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/p/pam/libpam-modules_1.0.1-9ubuntu1.1_i386.deb | 03:05 |
| eddy | aj_444, i dont have any problem with ubuntu | 03:05 |

| yorielg | can somebody say if is possible had 3 monitors in ubuntu | 03:06 |
| DigitalKiwi | yorielg: yes | 03:06 |
| yorielg | DigitalKiwi: how? | 03:06 |
| yorielg | i try so many times, but nothing | 03:07 |
| DigitalKiwi | that depends on your hardware | 03:07 |

| aj_444 | glavanwa1: If I'm not mistaken, I believe you can. | 03:10 |
| mdg_ | chase1: In windows, just uninstall wubi from the control panel add/remove applications | 03:10 |
| chase1 | glavanwa1 then how do i uninstall it? i can't even get to ubuntu. when i select it from dual boot i just get errors and i have to turn the computer off. saying that files cannot be found. im assuming from the wubi uninstall | 03:10 |
| chase1 | mdg_ i'll try that | 03:10 |
| eddy | mdg_, lol that won't remove ubuntu though | 03:10 |
| glavanwa1 | Well you can't remove grub or lilo with windows | 03:10 |
| mdg_ | chase1: :) good luck | 03:10 |
| nabudis | Could someone please tell me how to configure NICs in ubuntu? | 03:10 |
| chase1 | glavanwa1 then how do i remove them? | 03:11 |
| eddy | wait, does wubi magically create a virtual partition or something? | 03:11 |
| mdg_ | eddy: yes | 03:11 |
| chase1 | mdg_: it isn't even showing up under uninstall programs | 03:11 |
| yorielg | nabudis: edit /etc/networks | 03:11 |
| eddy | mdg_, oh i guess uninstalling it entirely may work | 03:11 |
| mdg_ | chase1: are you booted in windows or ubuntu? | 03:12 |
| glavanwa1 | Use a partition utility like bootITNG or partition magic | 03:12 |
| glavanwa1 | Gparted | 03:12 |
| nabudis | thanks:) | 03:12 |
| chase1 | mdg_: im in windows. i can't get into ubuntu. when i try to i get "missing file errors" | 03:12 |
| aj_444 | glavanwa1: That, you cannot. You need the windows recovery disk. | 03:12 |
| chase1 | glavanwa1: i tried, there isn't a partition | 03:12 |
| r3l1c | how do I add a log in message on ubuntu server? | 03:12 |
| glavanwa1 | Then how is it still there? | 03:12 |
| chase1 | glavanwa1: i also just got finished reinstalling windows and wiping everything. and its still there | 03:12 |
| mdg_ | chase1: do you still have wubi in your programs menu? Is there an uninstall link? | 03:13 |
| chase1 | glavanwa1: i have no clue, lol thats what im trying to figure out | 03:13 |
| chase1 | mdg_: no, i do not | 03:13 |
| bastid_raZor | r3l1c: /etc/motd | 03:13 |
| lstarnes | r3l1c: it might be /etc/motd | 03:13 |
| glavanwa1 | How do you know it's still there? | 03:13 |
| mdg_ | chase1: how did you start ubuntu before? | 03:13 |
| chase1 | glavanwa1: it still shows up on my dual boot screen, even though i cannot get into ubuntu because it gives me errors | 03:13 |
| eddy | chase1, i read on a forums site you just go to c:\ and remove the wubi* file/folders then edit your boot.ini and remove the ubuntu boot options | 03:13 |
| dsdeiz | in rtorrent, what does it mean when it says "Trakcer: [Timeout was reached]"? | 03:13 |
| bastid_raZor | r3l1c: but actually there is a process to get it to not be over written.. actually add your message to /etc/motd.tail | 03:13 |
| r3l1c | bastld_raZor: lastarnes: thanks | 03:13 |
| aj_444 | perhaps you need to resize the windows partition. If you delete ubuntu, there'll still be an open hdd space. | 03:13 |

| bastid_raZor | r3l1c: in order to keep your changes you'll need to do: update-motd --disable ..then edit /etc/motd and /etc/motd.tail | 03:18 |

| eddy | ok | 03:24 |
| kruykaze | lstarnes, it says direct connection which makes no sense because the update manager for example is looking for 127.0.0.1 | 03:24 |

| webbb82 | bastid_raZor, isnt the system tray where minamised apps go | 03:27 |
| eddy | cool | 03:27 |
| kruykaze | lstarnes, oh i see | 03:27 |
| DigitalKiwi | eddy: sorry couldn't hear you | 03:27 |
| RPG_Master | mdg_: Its showing up as "Logitech, Inc. Precision Gamepad" | 03:27 |
| eddy | DigitalKiwi, ha ha (sarcasm) | 03:27 |
| hikenboot | greetings I have decided to use apt-mirror for setting up a local cache of repositories anyone able to tell me the default apt-sources for Jaunty 9.04 for POWERPC ? | 03:28 |
| mdg_ | RPG_Master: then it must be something in the game that made it stop working | 03:28 |
| mezquitale | anyone karmic ubuntu studio alpha 6 by any chance??? | 03:28 |
| eddy | the floodbot confused me before and i tried to register this nick but it's taken | 03:28 |
| RPG_Master | mdg_: OK then, thanks :) I'll start messing around with ZSNES's settings then | 03:28 |
| lstarnes | mezquitale: #ubuntu+1 is the channel for karmic and its official variants | 03:28 |
| mdg_ | hikenboot: you might have better luck posting in the PPC forum at www.ubuntuforums.org | 03:29 |
| bastid_raZor | webbb82: in gnome the system tray is in the top panel at the right. the minimized windows are int he bottom panel | 03:29 |
| xmnt | mezquitale, not sure what you meant but I installed it in a vm | 03:29 |
| hikenboot | thanks mdg_ | 03:29 |
| mdg_ | hikenboot: I have 8.04 on a PPC, so that won't help you... | 03:29 |
| webbb82 | ya sorry im geting my terms mixed up | 03:29 |
| kruykaze | lstarnes, how do i fix that? | 03:29 |
| mezquitale | xmnt, im trying to download the image, if you have it and want to send it to me that will be great, im downloading it from the site but it's going to take about 3 hours to download | 03:29 |
| lstarnes | kruykaze: I'm not exactly sure | 03:30 |
| xmnt | mezquitale, try the torrents | 03:30 |
| lstarnes | kruykaze: if it's an entry in /etc/apt/sources.list pointing to 127.0.0.1/localhost, it can be removed or replaced with an actual mirror | 03:30 |
| xmnt | mezquitale, that is the fastest way | 03:30 |
| lstarnes | kruykaze: there might also be something in system > administration > synaptic package manager | 03:30 |
| mezquitale | xmnt, i cant even get a hit using the torrent, what client are you using? I'm using Transmission bit torrent client | 03:30 |
| dsdeiz | can't i find rtorrent in the ppa? | 03:31 |
| xmnt | mezquitale, deluge .... make sure your ports are forwarded properly | 03:31 |
| [[thufir]] | how do you download updates with a slow connection? sometimes the download fails and I have to start over. (intermittent as well). | 03:31 |
| xmnt | mezquitale, setup correctly shouldn't take more than 10-20 min. on a decent connection | 03:31 |
| Magicman1264 | can anyone help me? I can't get flash player to work | 03:32 |
| mezquitale | I have a fast cable connection and it takes me forever to download the torrents, let me try the deluge client | 03:32 |
| kruykaze | lstarnes, thx a bunch | 03:32 |
| mezquitale | !flash | 03:32 |
| ubottu | To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 03:32 |
| Jordan_U | [[thufir]]: You should be able to continue, at the very least every individual package that is successfully downloaded is saved | 03:32 |
| eddy | [[thufir]], you'll probably have to uncheck most updates in the update-manager and update one package at a time | 03:33 |
| Magicman1264 | thank you I'll give it a try | 03:33 |
| aj_444 | Magicman1264: If I remember correctly, you need to type into the terminal sudo aptitutde install flashplugins-installer | 03:33 |
| mdg_ | Magicman1264: what kind of PC and is this a fresh install of ubuntu? | 03:33 |
| r3l1c | flashplugin-nonfree | 03:34 |
| === rp3_ is now known as Rp3 | ||
| Jordan_U | [[thufir]]: If you use apt-get it will tell you how much needs to be downloaded to upgrade, the amount should go down each time you run it | 03:34 |
| === sean is now known as Guest3565 | ||
| chunda1 | ubca: sorry | 03:34 |
| eddy | aj_444, adobe-flashplugin | 03:34 |
| chunda1 | ubca pidgin raped my processor and RAM | 03:34 |
| Magicman1264 | not fresh install | 03:34 |
| Guest3565 | how do I get an already built copy of opengl, or something the equivelant of directx for ubuntu 8.10? | 03:35 |
| mdg_ | Magicman1264: is this a Power PC? | 03:35 |
| seyfarth | how many times will "ping [ip]" go in the terminal...? | 03:35 |
| Magicman1264 | I have this running since about JUne | 03:35 |
| aj_444 | actually, Magicman1264: its sudo aptitude install flashplugin-installer | 03:35 |
| Magicman1264 | no not power PC | 03:35 |
| aj_444 | eddy: the way I suggested worked earlier today for me. just minus the s at the end of plugin. | 03:35 |
| r3l1c | until you hit ctrl+z ? thats my guess seyfarth | 03:35 |
| mdg_ | Magicman1264: did you add the medibuntu repositories and GPG key? | 03:35 |
| Magicman1264 | no I don't know how | 03:36 |
| mdg_ | Magicman1264: google ubuntu wiki Medibuntu | 03:36 |
| eddy | Guest31506, you just need to get 3d working for your gfx card | 03:36 |
| mdg_ | Magicman1264: once you add the medibuntu repos and update, you can get flash working | 03:37 |
| bastid_raZor | !medibuntu | Guest31506 | 03:37 |
| ubottu | Guest31506: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 03:37 |
| Guest3565 | Well I can't seem to get games to run properly on my system so I figure it must be a problem with not having opengl, or directx | 03:37 |
| r3l1c | i hate flash | 03:37 |
| Magicman1264 | ok | 03:37 |
| webbb82 | gnome do's dock is really laggy does anyone els notice this or know how to fix it | 03:37 |
| r3l1c | sorry @ off topic | 03:37 |
| aj_444 | webbb82: could also be your graphics card. | 03:38 |

| mdg_ | wite: half a monitor? | 03:39 |
| frank1_ | it ran soo slow and didnt allow me to take my files off my ipod and put them on my comp | 03:39 |
| Guest3565 | eddy any ideas? | 03:39 |

| r3l1c | frank1_: there is an ipod thingy in synaptic ... I used it on a friends. it had something to do with a hippo I think | 03:39 |
| frank1_ | i started ubuntu from scrach so most of my good tunes r on my ipoo | 03:39 |
| frank1_ | i tried banshee but the files wouldnt copy to my music folder | 03:40 |
| webbb82 | so no one els has a laggy gnome do docky | 03:40 |
| mdg_ | frank1_: did you enable the ipod plugin in banshee? | 03:40 |
| sheena1 | Having trouble with the touchpad on a Gateway T-1620. Tap-click works only part of the time. Anyone able to help? Running Jaunty, fresh install. | 03:40 |
| frank1_ | rhythembox wouldnt let me copy off the ipod | 03:40 |
| frank1_ | hmmm ipod plugin? | 03:40 |

| frank1_ | it just asked my which ipoo i was using so that it could set itself up | 03:41 |
| Guest3565 | anyone know about the game SAVAGE 2 ? | 03:41 |

| frank1_ | and i tried another prog also | 03:41 |
| frank1_ | amarok | 03:42 |
| frank1_ | which i couldnt even get to recognise my ipod | 03:42 |
| Guest3565 | frank1 you try using atunes? | 03:42 |
| Determinist | is there a way to install ubuntu server without installing python? i'd like to build python from source without having an existing installation of python in the system. my assumption is that this would be impossible, but i figured i'll ask anyways. | 03:42 |
| mdg_ | frank1_: I've heard gtkpod works... | 03:42 |
| Jordan_U | !ipod | frank1_ | 03:42 |
| ubottu | frank1_: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - For the iPhone and the iPod Touch, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod | 03:42 |
| frank1_ | never herd of atunes | 03:42 |
| eddy | Guest31506, do you have 3d acceleration enabled? do you have libgl1-mesa-dev installed on your system? if not, do that | 03:42 |
| [[thufir]] | eddy: yeah, I'm using the synaptic gui, but surely there must be a scriptable approach to updating one package at a time? | 03:42 |
| mezquitale | anyone knows what port is safe to use on a bit torrent?? The ports I am trying are blocked by my ISP | 03:42 |
| Determinist | mezquitale: which ones have you tried and which one is your ISP? | 03:43 |
| Guest3565 | frank1 it is the equivilant of itunes for linux users | 03:43 |
| mdg_ | [[thufir]]: perhaps aptitude through console? | 03:43 |
| Jordan_U | [[thufir]]: Why not just keep running "sudo apt-get upgrade" untill all updates are finished downloading? | 03:43 |
| frank1_ | ok can i find it in syst mang | 03:43 |
| wite | does anyone know how to configure x server to let me use three monitors with two nvidia cards. i have 1 and a half monitors working, but i can't get the other half of one, and the 3rd working correctly. | 03:43 |
| frank1_ | apparentlly no | 03:43 |
| mezquitale | my isp is cablevision I have tried the default ports in deluge and also tried using a random port, I am still unable to connect using the bit torrent client | 03:43 |
| aleron | does anybody know how make kdenlive support avi files | 03:44 |
| Guest3565 | frank1 no let me see if i can find it for you | 03:44 |
| rand0ms0me0ne | question- occasionally my mouse freezes... the pointer moves, the keyboard works, everything continues to move as normal except the mouse buttons stop working so even though the pointer moves its useless | 03:44 |
| Brando753 | guys how can i get Flash to detect and use my webcam? | 03:44 |
| frank1_ | do i dl the deb package? | 03:44 |
| sheena1 | Having trouble with the touchpad on a Gateway T-1620. Tap-click works only part of the time. Anyone able to help? Running Jaunty, fresh install. | 03:44 |
| Determinist | mezquitale: it could be something else and not your ISP. are you behind a firewall? do you have a router? | 03:44 |
| rand0ms0me0ne | would that be a problem with X or the mouse or what? btw the mouse is a ms sidewinder... | 03:44 |
| frank1_ | sorry im fairly new to this linux thing | 03:44 |
| Jordan_U | rand0ms0me0ne: Are you using multiple monitors? | 03:44 |
| mezquitale | I have a router, the clients used to work though, so I dont think it's the router | 03:44 |
| Guest3565 | frank1 its at http://www.atunes.org | 03:44 |
| rand0ms0me0ne | Jordan_U: 4 on two gpu | 03:45 |
| eddy | Brando753, you first must make sure your webcam works under linux, meaning: is there a driver installed for it? and then flash should easily just detect it | 03:45 |
| rand0ms0me0ne | never had this problem with just one | 03:45 |
| frank1_ | guest deb package? | 03:45 |
| Guest3565 | Anyone know where i can get an already built copy of opengl or equiv. to directx for ubuntu 8.10?? | 03:45 |
| kruykaze | how's that atunes? how does it compare with rhythmbox? | 03:45 |
| [[thufir]] | mdg_: yes, but how do you get aptitude to download and install one package at a time, versus a large number of packages? | 03:45 |
| webbb82 | what i dont get is i have used cairo-dock and avant and none of those were laggy but gnome do's docky is very slow and lags | 03:46 |
| Guest3565 | kruykaze well once you get it working right its actually pretty sweet! way better than ryhtymbox I think | 03:46 |
| eddy | [[thufir]], you could use wicd and set it to run 'sudo apt-get upgrade' on post-connection and add apt-get to the /etc/sudoers to avoid it asking the password all the time | 03:46 |
| danbhfive | Guest3565: I think you can just install the opengl bindings for whatever language you want to code in, and apt will handle the rest | 03:46 |
| kruykaze | Guest3565, in wat way? | 03:46 |
| mdg_ | [[thufir]]: not sure - haven't used it enough...googling now.... | 03:46 |
| Guest3565 | webbb82 Avant is the best by far dock out there! | 03:46 |
| Determinist | mezquitale: could still be it, tho. the best way to check would be not using the router and testing with your modem directly connected to one of the machines. you could also set up port forwarding on your NAT, or DMZ. i doubt your ISP can block bittorrent ports, since bittorrent doesn't use any single well known port (and if your client does, that can be changed) | 03:47 |
| eddy | [[thufir]], actually scratch that idea i thought that only works for a LAN disconnect haha | 03:47 |
| webbb82 | Guest31506, what makes awn the best? | 03:47 |
| mezquitale | Determinist, what port do you use?? | 03:47 |
| Determinist | mezquitale: your ISP can use traffic shaping, but that's different. | 03:47 |
| Determinist | mezquitale: 57265 | 03:47 |
| Guest3565 | webbb82 because it has the most features and is the most compatible! That is my opinion though! | 03:48 |
| Guest3565 | eddy, you have any ideas on my opengl issue? | 03:48 |
| [[thufir]] | the best I can come up with is to gernate a list of packages, and then: apt-get -y $(pkgs.txt) but it's kinda cranky | 03:48 |
| candie_ | ubuntu.fr | 03:48 |
| leaf-sheep | webbb82: I like Gnome-Do -- It is GRRRRRRREAT. With that, you longer do not need docks, you only need a panel. :) | 03:48 |
| webbb82 | how can i find out what grafix card i have | 03:48 |
| eddy | Guest31506, do you have 3d acceleration enabled? do you have libgl1-mesa-dev installed on your system? if not, do that | 03:48 |
| eddy | Guest3565, do you have 3d acceleration enabled? do you have libgl1-mesa-dev installed on your system? if not, do that | 03:48 |
| eddy | woops | 03:49 |
| mdg_ | [[thufir]]: you get tell aptitude to hold a package, according to the man page | 03:49 |
| mezquitale | Determinist, TCP port 57265 closed on MYIP | 03:49 |
| Determinist | any idea about my question from earlier, guys? | 03:49 |
| Guest3565 | eddy yes 3d acceleration is on, but I have been trying to figure out how to get that mesa, already built of course cause i can't seem to figure out how to build things correctly! | 03:49 |
| Determinist | mezquitale: myip? | 03:49 |
| eddy | Guest3565, you should be able to install through apt-get or synaptic | 03:50 |
| RogerW | yo | 03:50 |
| eucalre | hi | 03:50 |
| mdg_ | [[thufir]]: actually, you should be able to manipulate update manager to just download one package at a time - just unclick all but the first update.... | 03:50 |
| kruykaze | Guest3565, i'll give it a try | 03:50 |
| mezquitale | Determinist, it's an ip of the form *.*.*.* where * = # from 1-254 | 03:50 |
| eddy | mezquitale, i believe you can use 0 to 255 | 03:51 |
| [[thufir]] | I saw the hold option, but wasn't clear how to script that. I'd rather avoid the GUI, as this problem comes up repeatedly. | 03:51 |
| candie_ | french?? | 03:51 |
| Guest3565 | kruykaze yeah its a great dock, is exactly the same as the dock for mac OS | 03:51 |

| mezquitale | eddy, 255 is usually the broadcast address LoL | 03:51 |
| Determinist | mezquitale: you can't be serious. i just talked to you about NAT, DMZ and port forwarding and you're telling me what an IP address is? i'm asking what MYIP is... not what an IP address is. | 03:51 |
| kruykaze | Guest3565, i meant atunes | 03:52 |
| eddy | mezquitale, not on mine | 03:52 |
| aleron | deos anybody know how to make kdenlive support avi files | 03:52 |

| kxm | Hi, I just ran dhclient eth0 on my fresh install of desktop 9.04, everything went fine, I'm talking to you now after all, but I got tyhe lines: chown: failed to get attributes of `/etc/resolv.conf': No such file or directory | 03:57 |
| kxm | chmod: failed to get attributes of `/etc/resolv.conf': No such file or directory | 03:57 |
| kxm | anybody help? | 03:57 |
| Determinist | mezquitale: yeah, that's quite common if you're behind a NAT | 03:57 |
| Alan502 | ah the command line? i didnt try it to be honest :P | 03:57 |
| Alan502 | but man, will that enable my D drive? | 03:58 |
| mezquitale | Determinist, it used to work fine though with my linksys router | 03:58 |
| Cyrano_De | Avoid the command line. It is evil and all powerful | 03:58 |
| Determinist | mezquitale: i usually set up one of my machines as DMZ and run bittorrent from there. | 03:58 |
| Brando753 | eddy: yes it is | 03:58 |
| lstarnes | user111: language-support-ar might be the package for it | 03:58 |
| eddy | compiz should enable mac's genie effect by default, but noooo they gotta make us hack the .so file to enable it | 03:58 |
| mdg_ | Alan502: what did you try? | 03:58 |
| user111 | thanks allot ppl | 03:58 |
| user111 | got it | 03:58 |
| user111 | :D | 03:58 |
| Determinist | mezquitale: too many variables, not sure what you had, but trying to lead you to a possible solution to what you're having right now. | 03:58 |
| Alan502 | i tried going to partition manager in windows | 03:58 |
| mdg_ | user111: \O/ yay! | 03:58 |
| Alan502 | and looking for a way to move the partition onto the one i did before | 03:59 |
| lstarnes | kxm: you have no /etc/resolv.conf | 03:59 |

| Alan502 | man but | 03:59 |
| mdg_ | Alan502: - made things worse huh! | 03:59 |
| mezquitale | Determinist, thanks, I'll take a look into my router later but first im going to see if it works on my neighbor's wireless, what are neighbors with open wireless for? | 03:59 |
| Alan502 | haha but didnt find a way to do it | 03:59 |
| Alan502 | mdg_ :/ im confused | 03:59 |
| kxm | istarnes, it just return a shell prompt, no errors, nothing at all | 03:59 |
| Alan502 | going to try the command you gave | 03:59 |
| Alan502 | me | 03:59 |
| lstarnes | kxm: that means it worked | 04:00 |
| seyfarth | anyone have any ideas why this won't let me click forward? http://tinyurl.com/mkdbbz | 04:00 |

| Alan502 | what will that do mdg_? im worried to screw it up | 04:00 |
| Alan502 | nope | 04:00 |
| kxm | istarnes: heh. | 04:00 |
| Alan502 | this is my first linux distribution really | 04:00 |
| Alan502 | the first i work with | 04:00 |
| lstarnes | kxm: sudo touch /etc/resolv.conf should have made an empty file at that location | 04:00 |
| mdg_ | Alan502: live cd or install? | 04:00 |
| Alan502 | i have it installed already as i told you | 04:01 |
| Jordan_U | [[thufir]]: You can already install the packages that have been downloaded so far, just apt-get install them and if all of their dependencies are also downlaoded they will install | 04:01 |
| Alan502 | would you take a look at my post to see a more detailed explanation? | 04:01 |
| mdg_ | Alan502: sorry meant had you used a live cd? | 04:01 |
| Alan502 | i have | 04:01 |
| mdg_ | Alan502: before you installed.. | 04:01 |
| Alan502 | ah yes | 04:01 |
| kxm | istarnes: okay thanks, I'll just trust that it's a good thing ;-> | 04:01 |
| Alan502 | i did | 04:01 |
| Alan502 | can i post links here without getting banned? | 04:02 |
| Drained | Hey guys, there's a really strange problem lol, my window manager, doesn't have a pshysical form | 04:02 |
| rand0ms0me0ne_ | Jordan_U: sorry for dc, mouse froze, restarted x | 04:02 |
| mdg_ | Alan502: which partition do you try to move in windows? | 04:02 |
| kxm | alan502: yes. | 04:02 |
| Drained | I can minimize, exit etc, those entire panelare missing | 04:02 |
| adnan | im sooo exhaused of searching.....im running ubuntu 9.04, how can I make metacity my default windows manager (i know i can run metacity --replace) but I want to stop compiz from kicking in altogether | 04:02 |
| rand0ms0me0ne_ | Jordan_U: any suggestions about my previously mentioned problem with mouse freezes? | 04:02 |
| Alan502 | mdg_: please look at my detailed explanation: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7977021 | 04:02 |
| Drained | adnan: uninstall compiz? | 04:02 |
| adnan | Drained: i don't know if that is what i want to do...i might have to show off at the next board meeting...heheh | 04:03 |
| eddy | adnan, go to System > Prefs > Appearance > Visual Effect and select None | 04:03 |
| Drained | ahh, well adding a Startup shortcut to replace metacity | 04:03 |
| Drained | could do the trick | 04:03 |
| fxfitz | Is there a way to control which users have access to start servers on what ports?? | 04:03 |
| mdg_ | Alan502: did you resize the partition before you installed - how did you resize? | 04:03 |
| bastid_raZor | adnan: system>preferences>appearances .. visual effects. choose None | 04:03 |
| soreau | adnan: Sys>Prefs>Appearance>Visual Effects tab>None | 04:04 |
| adnan | eddy: i tried that but after rebooting compiz is enabled and nothing in the Appearance window is selected | 04:04 |
| adnan | bastid_raZor: soreau : i treid that option but it resets after reboot. | 04:04 |
| Drained | Well back to my question, the entire "grabable" or "clickable" panel ontop of each window is missing! idk what to do once i start 1 window i have to stick to it because i cant alt-tab to switch or "x" out of it | 04:04 |
| soreau | Drained: There's no need to uninstall compiz. Simply set gnome-appearance-properties to none | 04:04 |
| Drained | anyone know? | 04:04 |
| Alan502 | no i didnt | 04:04 |
| adnan | after reboot when i open the appearance window nothing is selected and compiz is active | 04:04 |
| Alan502 | resize what partition? | 04:04 |
| Alan502 | the D? | 04:04 |
| Alan502 | mdg_? | 04:04 |
| Jordan_U | rand0ms0me0ne_: It sounds similar to this ( fixed, for most at least ) bug. https://launchpad.net/bugs/296167 | 04:04 |
| eddy | weird | 04:04 |
| mdg_ | Alan502: by chance are you using wubi? | 04:05 |
| soreau | adnan: Do you have comiz as part of your startup programs in sys>prefs>startup programs? Or fusion-icon for that matter? | 04:05 |
| Alan502 | nope | 04:05 |
| Drained | the entire "grabable" or "clickable" panel ontop of each window is missing! idk what to do once i start 1 window i have to stick to it because i cant alt-tab to switch or "x" out of it | 04:05 |
| Alan502 | i am not, i thought about it | 04:05 |
| Alan502 | but i could not get wubi on the usb stick | 04:05 |
| adnan | i tried to go to Gconf -> desktop -> gnome -> apps -> wind_manager , but it says that key is no longer in used in ubu 9.04 | 04:05 |
| adnan | soreau: nope | 04:05 |
| sinan | i am having bad sectors on my hard disk. Is there a way to remap those? | 04:06 |
| Drained | oh never mind i fixed it compiz is messed up :( | 04:06 |
| fxfitz | Is it possible to control which tcp/udp ports users have access to starting servers on? | 04:06 |
| eddy | adnan, do you have compiz settings manager installed? | 04:06 |
| bastid_raZor | Drained: in ccsm check window decorations | 04:06 |
| adnan | eddy: yes | 04:06 |
| Alan502 | mdg_? | 04:06 |
| Alan502 | any ideas man? | 04:06 |
| soreau | adnan: Then it shouldn't be starting at all. You can chmod -X `which compiz` to ensure it never starts again | 04:06 |
| soreau | -x* | 04:06 |
| adnan | soreau: interesting | 04:06 |
| mdg_ | Alan502: when you try to access the D: drive - you mean from ubuntu right? | 04:07 |
| adnan | soreau: so next time i want to run compiz im gonna have to change permission i suppose | 04:07 |
| eddy | adnan, try unchecking EVERYTHING in the compiz settings manager | 04:07 |
| Drained | bastid_razor what exacly am i looking for | 04:07 |
| Drained | in ccsm | 04:07 |
| adnan | eddy: ok | 04:07 |
| soreau | adnan: Yes, and you'd have to chmod | 04:07 |
| eddy | cus that overrides anything in Appearance > Visual FX | 04:07 |
| bastid_raZor | Drained: window decorations .. check that box. | 04:07 |
| soreau | adnan: Yes, and you'd have to chmod +x /usr/bin/compiz | 04:07 |
| Alan502 | when i try to access the D drive from windows, i cannot open it. From ubuntu, i can, mdg_ | 04:07 |
| Drained | i know what am i looking for in there | 04:07 |
| adnan | soreau: eddy : how can i tamper with the settings of gnome- Settings Daemon | 04:07 |
| adnan | maybe there is something in there | 04:07 |
| soreau | adnan: Actually it's be better to do that to compiz.real since compiz is a script on ubuntu | 04:07 |
| mdg_ | Alan502: I forgot... you are trying to fix windows so you can access your D drive again right? | 04:08 |
| adnan | soreau: hmmm i c | 04:08 |
| eddy | adnan, unchecking all those settings may just do it | 04:08 |
| eddy | haha chmod -x /usr/bin/compiz may work | 04:08 |
| soreau | adnan: Also, check to see what you have in gconf-editor /desktop/gnome/required components/windowmanager? | 04:08 |
| Alan502 | mdg_: exactly :D | 04:08 |
| mdg_ | Alan502: in ubuntu your D: shows ntfs? | 04:09 |
| Drained | bastid_razor: nope not that lol | 04:09 |
| Alan502 | mdg_: yes, it shows ntfs | 04:09 |
| jiohdi | how do I integrate 7zip into the arc manager so that extract here appears in the menu? | 04:09 |
| bastid_raZor | Drained: are you missing the title bars or panels in gnome? | 04:09 |
| Drained | Yes Bastid | 04:09 |
| mdg_ | Alan502: does the D: drive contain the window boot manager? | 04:10 |
| bastid_raZor | Drained: that was not a yes or no question. | 04:10 |
| Alan502 | mdg_: windows boot manager? thats in C | 04:10 |
| Drained | Yes it is you asked if i was missing them. | 04:10 |
| Alan502 | in D i only had Data and programs | 04:10 |
| Drained | it's a flat edge, nothing above the actual "window" of the program is there for isntance im on pidgin only converation and opitons are there | 04:11 |
| zooko | I have a question about Ubuntu Hardy as a server (feel free to direct me to a more appropriate channel). Can I easily set up a watchdog that reboots the system if it hangs? A server is hanging with out-of-memory errors. | 04:11 |
| obiwan__ | hi please | 04:11 |
| Jordan_U | Alan502: Is Windows the first partition? | 04:11 |
| mdg_ | Alan502: not sure how to force windows to boot the partition... | 04:11 |
| obiwan__ | any dpkg -l substitute in apt-get/cache? | 04:11 |
| binskipy2u | anyone have an opinion good or bad of Kmail vs thunderbird vs evolution? | 04:11 |
| Alan502 | yes Jordan_U | 04:11 |
| Alan502 | the only problem | 04:11 |
| eddy | ah if you're trying to edit boot options in vista or 7, try msconfig ... a thought | 04:11 |
| Alan502 | is that i cant access D | 04:11 |
| lstarnes | obiwan__: maybe apt-file list packagename | 04:11 |
| eddy | just remembered that handy tool :) | 04:11 |
| Alan502 | mdg_: thanks :) formating then? | 04:11 |
| mdg_ | Alan502: you might ask in #windows how to force a mount of a nonbooting ntfs partition | 04:12 |
| Jordan_U | zooko: There may be a simpler way, but you can compile a kernel with options to panic on OOM and restart on panic | 04:12 |
| Alan502 | what do you mean? | 04:12 |
| obiwan__ | thx i'll try lstarnes, what i want is to list all installed/installable packages , with apt-get | 04:12 |
| Alan502 | man i can boot windows | 04:12 |
| mdg_ | Alan502: at least so you can back up your stuff and not lose it. | 04:12 |
| Alan502 | but i cannot access the D drive! | 04:12 |
| lstarnes | obiwan__: apt-cache does that | 04:12 |
| zooko | Jordan_U: is there a prebuilt kernel with such features for Ubuntu? If not, what are the options I should look for? | 04:12 |
| Alan502 | windows works perefectly | 04:12 |
| obiwan__ | how lstarnes? | 04:12 |
| Alan502 | and yeah i can back it up | 04:12 |
| obiwan__ | search won't | 04:12 |
| Alan502 | with ubuntu | 04:12 |
| Alan502 | via network | 04:12 |
| obiwan__ | apt-cache search won't lstarnes | 04:12 |
| FloodBot2 | Alan502: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 04:12 |
| lstarnes | obiwan__: maybe apt-cache dump | 04:12 |
| eddy | Alan502, what does it say when you try to access your D drive? | 04:12 |
| obiwan__ | brb ;) | 04:13 |
| Alan502 | Cant access D:\ directory damaged or ilegible. | 04:13 |
| Drained | Bastid_razor: the "X" minimize maximize "drag" panel is completley missing | 04:13 |
| Jordan_U | zooko: I doubt there is a pre-built kernel, there is a change that it's configurable without recompiling though | 04:13 |
| Jordan_U | zooko: s/change/chance | 04:13 |
| adok | Does anybody knows a FiSH program called dirtirc? its for FiSH encryption for all the irc clients, im having troubles compile this. | 04:13 |
| Alan502 | mdg_: although form partition manager and ubuntu i can see all the files | 04:13 |
| mdg_ | Alan502: I used the term mount with windows - which is incorrect - I meant access the your storage drive (D:) | 04:13 |
| Alan502 | *from | 04:13 |
| Chips_Handon | hey guys. im haveing a problem with my pen drive. for some reason it is now read-only and i dont know how to fix it. help would be nice | 04:13 |
| bastid_raZor | Drained: in compiz the windows decoration plugin controls that. | 04:13 |
| eddy | Alan502, have you run a filesystem check on it? | 04:13 |
| Drained | Bastid_razor: i'm aware of that, but even when it's disabled that panel is missing | 04:14 |
| Alan502 | eddy: chkdisk? i cannot run it, because of the same error | 04:14 |
| === ricesw is now known as n8tuser | ||
| mdg_ | Alan502: defrag? | 04:14 |
| obiwan__ | that certainly works lstarnes , but lists all packages + info + dependancies, i just want names | 04:14 |
| Drained | bastid_razor: this is the command gtk-window-decorator --replace | 04:14 |
| bastid_raZor | Drained: it needs to be enabled in order for them to show | 04:14 |
| zooko | Jordan_U: thanks for the tips. Sounds pretty good. My next issue is "Why are there no /var/log/syslog or other log files...". | 04:14 |
| eddy | Alan502, wow what a sh*t storm | 04:14 |
| soreau | Drained: You have no decorations. First, enable the window decoration plugin then start a decorator (gtk-window-decorator --replace) | 04:15 |
| Alan502 | mdg_: cant defrag neither, actually it wasnt fragmented at all, i run defragmentation every friday | 04:15 |
| obiwan__ | lstarnes, i know i can filter , but isn't there any command to just list names ? lstarnes ? :( | 04:15 |
| n8tuser | Alan502 -> umm you're trying to access ext3 file system from windows? do you have the ext3 driver loaded in windows? | 04:15 |
| bastid_raZor | Drained: compiz-decorator ? | 04:15 |
| eddy | so has anyone gotten splashy to work in jaunty? | 04:15 |
| lstarnes | obiwan__: please be patient while I look for an alternative | 04:15 |
| Drained | EVEN ON it's missing | 04:15 |
| Drained | \off or on it doesn't show | 04:15 |
| Jordan_U | zooko: For a while I also had a dirty hack that I used for my olpc xo, I just created a script that looped checking how much free memory there was and at 90 % ( before it had the chance to become unresponsive ) triggered the kernel OOM-killer | 04:15 |
| Alan502 | eddy: hahaha sh*t storm? | 04:15 |
| lstarnes | obiwan__: I generally see things the first time you say them | 04:15 |
| zooko | /var/log is owned by root and isn't group writable. /var/log/syslog is written by a user named "syslog". How did this ever work? | 04:15 |
| eddy | Alan502, idk made it up lol | 04:15 |
| mdg_ | Alan502: not fragmented, but cannot ntfs partition cannot be accessed from within windows??? | 04:15 |
| zooko | Jordan_U: ;-) Sweeet. | 04:15 |
| Alan502 | n8tuser: no, i am trying to access an ntfs partition | 04:16 |
| zooko | Hopefully the kernel config you suggested first will work better for me. :-) | 04:16 |
| Alan502 | n8tuser:http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7977021#post7977021 | 04:16 |
| eddy | Alan502, but imagine a storm of flying poo every where? | 04:16 |
| lstarnes | obiwan__: you might have to do it through dpkg -l | 04:16 |
| Chips_Handon | pen drive is somehow now read-only. help please | 04:16 |
| Drained | i'll try in #compiz | 04:16 |
| zooko | Hm. How can I find out what went wrong such that there are no logs. I can't look in the logs to find out! :-) | 04:16 |
| Jordan_U | zooko: It's not something I would do on a production server but I can see if I still have it ( or recreate it since it's pretty simple ) | 04:16 |
| eddy | Chips_Handon, you could add the pen drive to /fstab with rw option | 04:16 |
| Chips_Handon | ? | 04:17 |
| eddy | /etc/fstab* | 04:17 |
| Alan502 | mdg_? thanks for your help | 04:17 |
| Chips_Handon | dont know what you mean. not geeky enough | 04:17 |
| Alan502 | appreciated :d | 04:17 |
| cookie | net | 04:17 |
| n8tuser | Alan502 -> your statement seems confusing, you installed ubuntu on an ext3 file system and you are attempting to access it from windows? | 04:17 |
| eddy | Chips_Handon, dammit lol uhhh where to start | 04:17 |
| mdg_ | Alan502: people are confused because you are trying to access windows partition through windows after ubuntu install... | 04:17 |
| zooko | I wonder if it has something to do with the fact that / is a flashdrive with ext3 on it. :-( | 04:17 |
| zooko | There *is* a dmesg. | 04:17 |
| Jordan_U | zooko: This looks promising ( read the note though ) | 04:17 |
| zooko | But not /var/log/messages or /var/log/syslog | 04:17 |
| Chips_Handon | i dont need alot | 04:17 |
| Jordan_U | zooko: http://www.linode.com/wiki/index.php/Rebooting_on_OOM | 04:17 |
| Alan502 | exactly | 04:17 |
| ScottNYC | are the commands in OSX termianl and linux terminal the exact same? | 04:18 |
| Chips_Handon | where is this /fsstab at | 04:18 |
| eddy | yo does anyone know how to get a UUID without gparted? | 04:18 |
| lstarnes | ScottNYC: they are different | 04:18 |
| mdg_ | Alan502: ask in the ##windows channel | 04:18 |
| lstarnes | Chips_Handon: /etc/fstab | 04:18 |
| Alan502 | but ubuntu its making windows not recognize the drive | 04:18 |
| Alan502 | ok thanks | 04:18 |
| Chips_Handon | ok | 04:18 |
| eddy | Chips_Handon, it is in /etc/fstab | 04:18 |
| clank | is there an application I can use to edit pdf's? i'd like to add a table of contents | 04:18 |
| bastid_raZor | eddy: sudo blkid | 04:18 |
| Jordan_U | ScottNYC: Some are exactly the same, some are completely different, and some are in between | 04:18 |
| Chips_Handon | im still learning alot | 04:18 |
| lstarnes | ScottNYC: but they aren't too dissimilar | 04:18 |
| eddy | cool thx | 04:18 |
| Chips_Handon | bare with me | 04:18 |
| ScottNYC | k | 04:18 |
| aleron | can anybody give me the kdenlive channel | 04:19 |
| n8tuser | Alan502 -> you have to be clear, you have installed ubuntu, and ubuntu can only be installed on an ext* type.. so attempting to access that from windows is not easy | 04:19 |
| obiwan__ | yeah lstarnes , i've found apt-cache pkgnames but that just lists installed , and in a ugly way :S dpkg -l defintely works best that that option | 04:19 |
| eddy | Chips_Handon, plug in your pendrive and run 'sudo blkid' in terminal | 04:19 |
| lstarnes | obiwan__: you could also try filtering the output of apt-cache using apt-cache dump | grep ^Package: | 04:19 |
| lstarnes | obiwan__: however, it is most direct to use dpkg -l | 04:19 |
| Chips_Handon | ok | 04:19 |
| Alan502 | n8tuser: no, i want to access a previously created ntfs partition with windows | 04:19 |
| Jordan_U | ScottNYC: Many commands are actually the same code, like GNU bash, then there are things like "killall" which on linux will kill the process you pass as an argument, and on most other *NIX will kill *everything* ;) | 04:19 |
| justin_ | hey im back still no luk with the wireless | 04:19 |
| eddy | copy the UUID value for /dev/sdb1 (or /dev/hdb1) | 04:20 |
| * zooko superstitiously tries creating an empty /var/log/syslog with the right ownership and permissions. | 04:20 | |
| eddy | Chips_Handon, ^^ | 04:20 |
| Alan502 | n8tuser: it worked before ubuntu installation, but for some reason ubuntu installed in this ntf partition | 04:20 |
| ScottNYC | k | 04:20 |
| n8tuser | Alan502 -> i think you are mistaken, explain how many partitions do you think you have? | 04:20 |
| Alan502 | n8tuse: its rare, did you look at my post? | 04:20 |
| Alan502 | n8tuser: i have six partitions actually | 04:20 |
| eddy | Chips_Handon, now do you know what type of filesystem your pen drive is? if not, running the previous command will tell you too | 04:20 |
| Chips_Handon | THANKS | 04:20 |
| Chips_Handon | IT WORKED | 04:20 |
| Chips_Handon | fat32 | 04:20 |
| Alan502 | n8tuse: three in etx3 & 2 | 04:20 |
| n8tuser | Alan502 -> do not attempt to keep some info, be clear please | 04:21 |
| Chips_Handon | it always worked before | 04:21 |
| obiwan__ | yeah lstarnes , thought about that but that isn't nice because you're requesting for info you don't actually need, i'll keep with dpkg -l | 04:21 |
| obiwan__ | MANY thanx anyway :):) | 04:21 |
| Alan502 | n8tuse: this is an screen capture of partition manager in windows, showing the partitions:http://imgur.com/Abge7.jpg | 04:21 |
| n8tuser | Alan502 -> your posting does not even describe that. so please be clear on what you have | 04:21 |
| Chips_Handon | just had problems now. might be my computer. old machine | 04:21 |
| Alan502 | n8tuser: blue is ntfs, yellow is etx3 and brown is etx2 | 04:21 |
| eddy | Chips_Handon, okay now add a line to ur /etc/fstab: UUID="<that value" vfat rw,users,noauto 0 0 | 04:21 |
| Chips_Handon | its working now | 04:22 |
| Chips_Handon | im good | 04:22 |
| n8tuser | Alan502 -> that is difficult to read, get a better snapshot | 04:22 |
| eddy | ok cool | 04:22 |
| Jordan_U | zooko: Note though that the OOM killer really should prevent any freezes ( by killing processes until you have enough memory ), so I'm not sure what is happening | 04:22 |
| Chips_Handon | the blkid command did it | 04:22 |
| Alan502 | mmm | 04:22 |
| Alan502 | i will | 04:22 |
| bastid_raZor | Alan502: that is not an ntfs partition.. it says ext3 . no wonder you can not access it in windows | 04:22 |
| eddy | Chips_Handon, good to hear | 04:22 |
| Alan502 | D its an ntfs | 04:22 |
| Alan502 | ubuntu created and etx3 inside it apparently | 04:22 |
| Alan502 | its weird | 04:22 |
| wizz | how to open startup manager? | 04:23 |
| wizz | !startup | 04:23 |
| ubottu | To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot | 04:23 |
| === noone is now known as nobodymezquitale | ||
| Chips_Handon | funny how the solution was so simple | 04:23 |
| ScottNYC | i think ubutnu is gonna maistream linux | 04:23 |
| Chips_Handon | GNU/LINUX!!!!!!!! | 04:23 |
| eddy | wizz, did you sudo apt-get install startupmanager? | 04:23 |
| nobodymezquitale | mezquitale, youre still there? | 04:23 |
| n8tuser | Alan502 -> you are attempting to read from windows, it will not read ext* partition correctly unless you have the driver loaded in windows | 04:23 |
| eddy | wizz, it doesn't come with ubuntu by default | 04:23 |
| Jordan_U | zooko: i.e. If the OOM killer is not being called it might be because you never get to a complete out of memory condition, and if so panic_on_oom won't be triggered either | 04:23 |
| n8tuser | Alan502 -> the snapshot you have is bogus | 04:23 |
| zooko | Jordan_U: Hm | 04:24 |
| eddy | wizz, could always just edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst file manually :-) | 04:24 |
| Alan502 | n8tuser: let me get a better one | 04:24 |
| nobodymezquitale | that's weird, i lost connection on xchat and when I logged back in it said my nic is already in use | 04:24 |
| eddy | nobodymezquitale, it happens | 04:24 |
| Alan502 | n8tuse: i cannot print screen because all the programs i had installed were on D and i cannot access them | 04:24 |
| zooko | The guy who has physical access to the box at co-lo says that the terminal is full of "no more memory, can't kill process $XYZ". | 04:24 |
| aleron | does anybody know of the kdenlive channel | 04:24 |
| n8tuser | Alan502 -> once more, do not attempt to read linux partition from windows unless you have the correct driver to read em | 04:24 |
| Chips_Handon | i wish i could give you a cookie eddy. i planed on using my psp as a storage device. imagine taking that around!!!!! | 04:24 |
| mdg_ | n8tuser: there's a windows driver for that? | 04:24 |
| luis_ | hello | 04:25 |
| eddy | Chips_Handon, i made cookies today, ironically | 04:25 |
| n8tuser | Alan502 -> you seemed to ignore what i have told you | 04:25 |
| Chips_Handon | hahaha | 04:25 |
| nobodymezquitale | anyone has an idea why bit torrent clients can't connect? It looks like an isp somewhere is blocking bit torrent clients | 04:25 |
| Alan502 | it is a linux partition n8tuser? where can i get the driver? | 04:25 |
| zooko | Darn I still don't get logging messages in /var/log/system. :-{ | 04:25 |
| n8tuser | mdg_ -> i was told there is a driver for it, maybe you have to pay | 04:25 |

| CoJaBo-Aztec | nobodymezquitale: Comcast? :P | 04:25 |
| n8tuser | Alan502 -> -> i was told there is a driver for it, maybe you have to pay | 04:25 |
| Jordan_U | zooko: Then panic_on_oom would work, as the kernel is at least trying to use the OOM killer. You might want to figure out why it can't kill processes though | 04:26 |
| nobodymezquitale | CoJaBo-Aztec, no, i use cablevision | 04:26 |
| Alan502 | n8tuser: the thing is that, once again it is not a etx3 partition | 04:26 |
| Fatboy12345236 | Anyone alive? | 04:26 |
| Alan502 | n8tuse: it shows up as a ntfs | 04:26 |
| mdg_ | :/ ain't that always the way with windows... | 04:26 |
| === JoeNoLuck is now known as JoeSomebody | ||

| ubottu | Fatboy12345236: 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. :-) | 04:26 |
| zooko | Running /etc/init.d/sysklogd stop && /etc/init.d/sysklogd start claims to have worked. | 04:26 |
| Chips_Handon | while im here, can anyone help me fix my resolution on my TV with the VGA attached? | 04:26 |
| zooko | But still no log. | 04:26 |
| n8tuser | Alan502 -> okay, if you dispute this, can you boot into linux? | 04:26 |
| Alan502 | n8tuser: i can see it in my pc, while i cant see other partitions that are etx3 whole | 04:26 |
| Chips_Handon | its stuck on 640x420 or somthing likle that | 04:26 |
| Alan502 | n8tuser: yes i can with no problems | 04:26 |
| eddy | Chips_Handon, you'll probably have to edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 04:26 |
| Chips_Handon | it might be the fact that the computer is a peice of sh** | 04:26 |
| Chips_Handon | i dont know how | 04:27 |
| Chips_Handon | last time i tried i had to reinstall | 04:27 |
| n8tuser | Alan502 -> then lets prove that once you get into linux, boot into linux, then type this sudo fdisk -l and then paste the results in pastebin, then we can believe you | 04:27 |
| eddy | anyone good with Xorg able to help Chips_Handon? | 04:27 |
| Fatboy12345236 | Alrighty, I'm trying to compile Eggdrop and It says I'm missing tlclib or something like that... | 04:27 |
| zooko | Hrm. Should I sudo apt-get install syslogd? | 04:27 |
| mdg_ | Alan502: are you sure the size of the D: drive is seen the same in Ubuntu and windows? | 04:27 |
| Alan502 | sudo gedit /etc/x11/xorg.conf Chips_Handon | 04:27 |
| zooko | Maybe that would help. :-) | 04:27 |
| Fatboy12345236 | Stop flooding! | 04:27 |
| Alan502 | ok n8tuser | 04:27 |
| lstarnes | Fatboy12345236: you need tcl-dev and tcl | 04:28 |
| Fatboy12345236 | How do I get 'em? | 04:28 |
| Alan502 | mdg_: i cannot see the drive size in windows | 04:28 |
| Chips_Handon | if it helps, my tv is a Sharp lcd 27inch. computer is a dell dimension 2400 | 04:28 |
| lstarnes | Fatboy12345236: sudo apt-get install tcl tcl-dev | 04:28 |
| Chips_Handon | vga to tv | 04:28 |
| Jordan_U | zooko: Try typing alt+sysrq+f (WARNING COULD KILL IMPORTANT PROCESSES ) and see what exactly it can't kill, and maybe look at dmesg for more info | 04:28 |
| mdg_ | Alan502: not any drive sizes throught windows or just D: ? | 04:28 |
| Fatboy12345236 | P.S I'm on xubantu | 04:28 |
| eddy | Chips_Handon, are you trying to have dual monitor setup with this TV? | 04:28 |
| zooko | Jordan_U: I don't have console access. I'm ssh'ed in. | 04:28 |
| Chips_Handon | no | 04:28 |
| Chips_Handon | it is my main monitor | 04:29 |
| dios_mio | is it wise to let the Nvidia's own config tool to save to xorg.conf? | 04:29 |
| n8tuser | mdg_ -> geesh one can not read a linux partition from windows easily, you are not accepting of that? | 04:29 |
| justin_ | hey guys im having trouble with my wireless ndiswrapper sees the device and sees its installed but i cant use it | 04:29 |
| eddy | ohhh | 04:29 |
| zooko | And the mystery I'm studying at the moment is "Why are there no logs?". | 04:29 |
| Alan502 | mdg_: just D | 04:29 |
| mdg_ | n8tuser: I asked him if he can see any partitions from within windows | 04:29 |
| Alan502 | mdg_: D is the only drive i am having problems with, and in windows | 04:29 |
| Jordan_U | zooko: You can get the same effect by writing "f" to /proc/sysrq-trigger but it might kill ssh ( probably not as the killer is somewhat smart and tries to choose less important things to kill ) | 04:30 |
| Alan502 | mdg_: i can see only ntfs partitions, C and D | 04:30 |
| n8tuser | mdg_ -> he is confused and not understanding things, you kept feeding him | 04:30 |
| zooko | Jordan_U: this is to trigger the OOM killer? | 04:30 |
| Jordan_U | zooko: Yes | 04:30 |
| eddy | Chips_Handon, just edit your xorg.conf: gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and look for the device "screen" section and edit the resolution to your desire | 04:30 |
| Alan502 | mmm | 04:30 |
| dios_mio | how can I get passed this stupid security that wont let me edit /etc files in gedit? | 04:30 |
| Alan502 | n8tuser: what do you want me to understand exactly? | 04:30 |
| Chips_Handon | there is nothing there | 04:30 |
| n8tuser | Alan502 -> then lets prove that once you get into linux, boot into linux, then type this sudo fdisk -l and then paste the results in pastebin, then we can believe you | 04:30 |
| mdg_ | Alan502: perhaps booting from your live USB into ubuntu and getting a screenshot of gparted would help | 04:30 |
| Chips_Handon | last time i did it did boot coorectly | 04:30 |
| Chips_Handon | i screwed it up | 04:30 |
| Alan502 | n8tuser: thats what i am doing | 04:31 |
| Chips_Handon | didnt* | 04:31 |
| lstarnes | dios_mio: alt+f2 then gksudo gedit | 04:31 |
| Jordan_U | zooko: "echo f | sudo tee /proc/sysrq-trigger" | 04:31 |
| n8tuser | Alan502 -> am waiting..ill give you five minutes | 04:31 |
| dios_mio | thanks lstarnes | 04:31 |
| n8tuser | i may have to sit in the throne.. :P | 04:31 |
| justin_ | -.- | 04:31 |
| Fatboy12345236 | awww Thanks, | 04:31 |
| mdg_ | n8tuser: I think we are all confused ;) | 04:31 |
| Fatboy12345236 | Worked! | 04:31 |
| zooko | Jordan_U: Uh, that echoed "f" to my terminal. :-) | 04:31 |
| Chips_Handon | its probably this computer | 04:31 |
| Chips_Handon | its crap | 04:32 |
| zooko | Ah, and it triggered the OOM. :-) | 04:32 |
| eddy | Chips_Handon, perhaps you need to use a different gfx driver | 04:32 |
| Jordan_U | zooko: It also wrote it to /proc/sysrq-trigger ( man tee ). You will see a message about what it killed in dmesg | 04:32 |
| dios_mio | lstarnes , is it wise to let the Nvidia's own config tool to save to xorg.conf? | 04:32 |
| zooko | I know about tee, I just expected stdout from the write to /proc, which now that I say it sounds pretty dumb... | 04:33 |
| lstarnes | dios_mio: I'm not sure | 04:33 |
| lstarnes | dios_mio: I don't think I've had any issues with it, but I have not used it in a long time | 04:33 |
| dios_mio | lstarnes , ok thanks | 04:33 |
| zooko | Jordan_U: well, in this case it picked a good victim and killed it successfully. | 04:33 |
| Chips_Handon | maybe, but im not too familar with graphic drivers. i know were to find it, but i would have to build it. i dont know how to do things like that | 04:33 |
| quartknee | I'm running Jaunty and it won't install updates/update my distribution because of medibuntu files. Should I delete those files? | 04:34 |
| zooko | Any theories why I don't have a /var/log/syslog? :-( | 04:34 |
| === david_ is now known as Midnighter | ||
| === jacob_ is now known as xoxo | ||
| Jordan_U | zooko: The file doesn't exist? | 04:34 |
| Chips_Handon | if i bought a decent graphics card, do you think it would fix the resolution? the added video memory wouldnt hurt | 04:34 |
| Jordan_U | zooko: Or just nothing in it about the OOM? | 04:35 |
| Drained | Chips_Handon: you could force the resolution? | 04:35 |
| zooko | Jordan_U: it isn't created. So I made one with the right ownership and permissions and rebooted, but nothing is written into it. | 04:35 |
| zooko | It is on / which is an ext3 on a flashdrive. | 04:35 |
| Chips_Handon | dotn know how. | 04:35 |
| Brian___ | can someone please help i messed with my xorg.conf file and now ubuntu wont start | 04:35 |
| n8tuser | zooko -> look in your /etc/syslog.conf if its declared to be used | 04:35 |
| Chips_Handon | unless it involves xorg.conf | 04:35 |
| Chips_Handon | last time i went in there i had to reinstall | 04:36 |
| zooko | n8tuser: thanks. | 04:36 |
| Jordan_U | zooko: Also make sure syslogd is running | 04:36 |
| DigitalKiwi | zooko: do you use arch or ubuntu or both or what? could swear i saw you in their channel earlier | 04:36 |
| Chips_Handon | not to mention i had to install ine safe graphic mode because the main screen would pop up | 04:36 |
| Drained | Does anyone know how to get Ctrl-alt-backspace to work again? | 04:36 |
| soreau | ! dontzap | Drained | 04:36 |
| ubottu | Drained: 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. | 04:36 |
| Chips_Handon | wouldnt* | 04:36 |
| zooko | DigitalKiwi: I was just working on some Python packaging issues and wanted to know how ArchLinux compiles its python executable. | 04:37 |
| DigitalKiwi | ah | 04:37 |
| zooko | I mostly use Ubuntu, myself. Hardy is my favorite server OS right now. I'm trying to get my secure cloud storage project included in Karmic. | 04:37 |

| Maelos` | I'm running the "server" build inside my guests. Would virtual be preferred and why? | 04:44 |
| Chips_Handon | what to do | 04:44 |
| Jordan_U | Chips_Handon: Ok, well you can try not using safe graphics mode by running "sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf-bak", but if it fails you will have to go to a terminal with ctrl+alt+f1 and restore the file with "sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf-bak /etc/X11/xorg.conf" | 04:45 |

| jofus | hey guys i have a pretty serious problem with ldap and auth | 04:55 |
| chunda | n8tuser, and it was damn good | 04:55 |
| zooko | So it turns out this machine is configured to send its logs to a remote host. How does it do that? Over unencrypted TCP? How does the remote host authenticate this host as a legitimate sender of logs? | 04:55 |
| WonderfunkJones | Any help with my X-Fi problem? | 04:55 |
| zooko | Because the log messages from this host aren't showing up on that host, although the log messages from *other* hosts are. | 04:55 |
| n8tuser | chunda oh well.. | 04:55 |
| gilson | alguem ai do brasil? | 04:55 |

| Alan502 | *photo | 04:58 |
| n8tuser | chunda -> well you know that most drivers are written for the other.. difficult to find an open source driver | 04:58 |
| gilson | gforce 4400 Nvidia | 04:58 |
| sebsebseb | !welcome | tjz | 04:58 |
| ubottu | tjz: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines. Enjoy your stay! | 04:58 |
| chunda | n8tuser, yes i know that | 04:58 |
| tjz | how you figure out how to play windows based game on ubuntu desktop | 04:58 |
| bazhang | gilson, check in hardware drivers (assuming you are in 9.04) | 04:58 |
| chunda | n8tuser, if i have to blame someone, i have to blame realtek | 04:59 |
| sebsebseb | tjz: Which games? | 04:59 |
| Alexia | tjz, transgaming.org | 04:59 |
| bazhang | tjz, with wine | 04:59 |
| sebsebseb | Alexia: that's not free | 04:59 |
| jofus | hey guys LDAP changed my password. I can't log in. PLEASE HELP ME?! | 04:59 |
| bdigital | how do I identify what driver a ethernet card is using? | 04:59 |
| Alexia | tjz, sorry transgaming.com | 04:59 |
| gilson | hum but i have install one drive generic | 04:59 |
| WonderfunkJones | Any help with installing the drivers for X-Fi sound card? | 05:00 |
| Alexia | sebsebseb, the question wasnt where to find a free way to play windows based games | 05:00 |
| mattgyver | bdigital, run lspci, i believe that will show you | 05:00 |
| bazhang | gilson, did you check in hardware drivers? | 05:00 |
| n8tuser | bdigital -> type lshw -C network | 05:00 |
| sebsebseb | tjz: Wine, commercial versions of it such as transgaming that are sold, or possibily a Windows virtual machine depending on game and that | 05:00 |
| tpeden | How do I get rid of "Xlib: extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display "localhost:10.0"." | 05:00 |
| sebsebseb | Alexia: True, but I don't think many Linux users are going to pay for a commercial version of Wine | 05:00 |
| tjz | yea | 05:00 |
| tjz | i don't want pay for something | 05:01 |
| bdigital | mattgyver: it shows me the brand | 05:01 |
| tjz | wine = paid??! | 05:01 |
| bazhang | tjz, check the appdb | 05:01 |
| JuanCarlos | wine not paid | 05:01 |
| lstarnes | tjz: no. | 05:01 |
| gilson | yes | 05:01 |
| gilson | 05:01 | |
| gilson | I need to install the drive I already have it on my computer but I can not install NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.13-pkg1.run | 05:01 |
| bdigital | n8tuser: ah I see it | 05:01 |
| sebsebseb | tjz: Wine no, Transgaming and Cedega yes | 05:01 |
| lstarnes | tjz: it's free both as in price and as in being open sourc | 05:01 |
| pete__ | how can people still be using windows when something like ubuntu exists | 05:01 |
| lstarnes | *source | 05:01 |
| mattgyver | bdigital, sorry i didnt realize you were trying to figure out the driver | 05:01 |
| Alexia | sebsebseb, its hardly as simple as being a commercial version of wine.. Transgaming offers a huge list of compatible games very few of which work out of the box with simple little WINE | 05:01 |
| tjz | ok | 05:01 |
| JuanCarlos | crossover has sources on the site, but not binaries | 05:01 |
| tjz | i will go with wine | 05:01 |
| bazhang | gilson, install from package manager not a run file | 05:01 |
| tjz | ubuntu + wine = rocks | 05:01 |
| tjz | i guess | 05:01 |
| Steil | pete__: because windows is good?? | 05:02 |
| sebsebseb | !wine | tjz | 05:02 |
| ubottu | tjz: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu | 05:02 |
| bdigital | mattgyver: thanks for the attention anyways | 05:02 |
| pete__ | Steil, it is!? im sorry, could have fooled me | 05:02 |
| mattgyver | bdigital, how about lsmod? | 05:02 |
| sebsebseb | tjz: Depends on the programs you want to run, and you may need to configure some | 05:02 |
| tpeden | pete__: Wine doesn't support most games lol | 05:02 |
| sebsebseb | tjz: also with enough RAM you can virtual machine Windows inside Ubuntu | 05:02 |
| mastamatt88 | hadfa | 05:02 |
| Alexia | tjz, many people think you should never pay for products in the linux world howeve when a product does exactly what it is supposed to do and offers support like transgaming does its absolutely worth it | 05:02 |
| mastamatt88 | afdfa | 05:02 |
| mastamatt88 | ddf | 05:02 |
| mastamatt88 | af | 05:02 |

| mastamatt88 | dsfdsf | 05:02 |
| gilson | 05:02 | |
| gilson | I do not know how | 05:02 |
| bdigital | mattgyver: lshw had it listed under configuration | 05:02 |
| Steil | pete__: well what exactly is wrong with windows? | 05:02 |
| pete__ | tpeden, eh i have a 360 for games, and i play SNES games on ubuntu | 05:02 |
| bazhang | mastamatt88, please stop that | 05:02 |
| mattgyver | cool | 05:02 |
| socomm | tpeden: or is it the other way around? xD | 05:02 |
| leaf-sheep | pete__: Because most people does not know something other than Windows exists. -- Also, when they walk into a store, they buy a computer -- What came with it? Windows! :< | 05:02 |
| rand0ms0me0ne | pete_: because windows is convenient and familiar and because right out of the box things just work | 05:02 |
| tpeden | lol | 05:02 |
| tjz | !virtualizers | 05:03 |
| ubottu | There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications | 05:03 |
| mastamatt88 | sry | 05:03 |
| pete__ | yeah you guys are right, just ubuntu is so much better | 05:03 |
| JuanCarlos | lol | 05:03 |
| sebsebseb | !virtualbox | tjz | 05:03 |
| ubottu | tjz: virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from the package 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox | 05:03 |
| lstarnes | tpeden: games that use opengl and sdl instead of directx tend to fare better on wine than those that use directx | 05:03 |
| jofus | guys i have a serious problem | 05:03 |
| jofus | when installing ldap it changed my password | 05:03 |
| tjz | virtualization is my first thought.. before i know about wine :D | 05:03 |
| gilson | how do I install the file. run | 05:03 |
| pete__ | !ldap | 05:03 |
| ubottu | LDAP is the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol. For more information, installation instructions and getting clients to authenticate via LDAP see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenLDAPServer | 05:03 |
| tpeden | How do I get rid of this error: "Xlib: extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display "localhost:10.0"." | 05:03 |
| tpeden | It's pissing me off! lol | 05:03 |
| lstarnes | gilson: run it | 05:03 |
| tjz | maybe i get good amount of RAM and disk | 05:03 |
| tjz | :D | 05:04 |
| WonderfunkJones | Any help on errors installing drivers for X-Fi sound card? ALSA does not work and the drivers from creative should | 05:04 |
| bazhang | gilson, install from package manager not from run file | 05:04 |
| stealth- | gilson: run it as root from the command line | 05:04 |
| bucky | gilson, install the deb with synaptic | 05:04 |
| sebsebseb | tjz: ideally this is how you should do things :) native Linux apps, then Wine, then vm | 05:04 |
| pete__ | gtk-gnuella is nice | 05:04 |
| Fatboy12345236 | MAJOR NOOB QUESTION: What's the command to extract .tar.gz or whatever | 05:04 |
| eddy | sebastien_, people paid for crossover games/office | 05:04 |
| lstarnes | Fatboy12345236: for .tar.gz, tar xzf file.tar.gz | 05:04 |
| sebsebseb | eddy: some yes, and it's also off topic | 05:04 |
| Alexia | I hate this attitude some people have that they should never buy a commercial product for linux.. its no wonder Major devolopers dont offer better compatibility with linux, there are so many people that think everything should just be free as in free beer | 05:04 |
| soreau | Fatboy12345236: tar -xf file.tar.gz | 05:04 |
| socomm | pete__: torrents > gnutella | 05:04 |
| pete__ | socomm, yea its great | 05:04 |
| lstarnes | Alexia: this channel is not a soapbox | 05:04 |
| socomm | s/torrents/bittorrent/g | 05:05 |
| stealth- | Fatboy12345236: please dont ask questions like that on here. Google has a massive resource for basic questions like that, not to mention the man pages | 05:05 |
| bazhang | lets get back on topic please | 05:05 |
| sebsebseb | Alexia: of course some people will pay for Linux apps | 05:05 |
| lstarnes | stealth-: it's a legitimate question | 05:05 |
| bazhang | stealth-, please be helpful | 05:05 |

| Alexia | ok i forgot this isnt really a chat room, its a support room. Sorry | 05:06 |
| JuanCarlos | BTW karmic got PlayOnLinux on Repos | 05:06 |
| socomm | sebsebseb: I personally have not bout any software, aside from games, ever | 05:06 |
| lstarnes | gilson: synaptic doesn't use commands. It's a graphical application | 05:06 |
| sebsebseb | socomm: not what? | 05:06 |
| bazhang | stealth-, no. this is not a re-direct to Google. | 05:06 |
| gilson | i dont now install synaptic] | 05:06 |

| sebsebseb | socomm: ok well whatever I guess, as long as your using legal versions of software | 05:07 |
| stealth- | bazhang: Sorry, did I not to say that I waited until he was answered to recommend it for next time? I didnt tell him not to come here, or that we wont answer him, or anything like that. | 05:07 |
| WonderfunkJones | any help with installing X-Fi sound card drivers? I get an error I can't understand... | 05:07 |
| socomm | sebsebseb: yup, thank god for the GNU development tools. :D | 05:07 |
| bazhang | stealth-, please never suggest google here. Thanks. | 05:07 |
| pete__ | google helps people break linux | 05:08 |
| stealth- | bazhang: your right, because its an absolutely terrible idea to get people to use information gathering methods other than this chat room | 05:08 |
| Alan502 | u8tuser: http://img508.imageshack.us/img508/6643/dscn1646.jpg | 05:08 |
| pete__ | stealth-, no, because then they do things they shouldn't | 05:08 |
| socomm | pete__: I hardly need help with that. ;^) | 05:09 |
| pete__ | based on advice from articles. | 05:09 |
| lstarnes | stealth-: there are some people who aren't very good with google | 05:09 |

| WonderfunkJones | hahaha | 05:09 |
| WonderfunkJones | what do I put in the search bar? | 05:09 |

| Jordan_U | !clone | beyondcr | 05:13 |
| ubottu | beyondcr: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 05:13 |

| CHIPSHANDON | HEY | 05:14 |
| lstarnes | WonderfunkJones: that package might not be compatible with your version of the linux kernel | 05:14 |
| CHIPSHANDON | HALP | 05:14 |

| bazhang | gilson, yes, that is not a normal resolution rate | 05:15 |

| lstarnes | WonderfunkJones: possibly. If you're not afraid of using alpha quality software, you could use karmic now | 05:15 |
| CHIPSHANDON | ???? | 05:15 |
| Alan502 | n8tuser: yes, i created it before ubuntu | 05:15 |
| bazhang | beyondcr, something like the ubuntu customization kit ? | 05:15 |
| CHIPSHANDON | i just need that command to fix it too where it was | 05:15 |
| norelpy | guys i can open youtube videos but facebook videos not | 05:16 |
| norelpy | what can i do | 05:16 |
| WonderfunkJones | lstarnes: meh I'll see what I can do now, ultimately I'll just end up waiting for it, thanks | 05:16 |
| bazhang | !remaster | beyondcr | 05:16 |
| ubottu | beyondcr: Interested in remastering the Ubuntu !live CD? See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization or use tools such as http://uck.sourceforge.net/ or http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/DRU_Disc_Remastering_Utility | 05:16 |
| beyondcr | you could save your current state to dvd and install it like a normal distro | 05:16 |
| lstarnes | norelpy: what errors do you get? | 05:16 |
| n8tuser | Alan502 -> you ever stored anything on it once you created that partition? | 05:16 |
| norelpy | facebook says me | 05:16 |
| gilson | I like this concert? talking on the drive I installed now the nvidia toolkit and did not ask to restart or anything oque do? and already installed | 05:16 |
| Jordan_U | CHIPSHANDON: From the installed system it would be: sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf-bak /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 05:16 |
| Alan502 | n8tuser: no, because i cannot access it | 05:16 |
| norelpy | the video is not avalaible | 05:16 |
| Alan502 | n8tuser: just from windows.. | 05:16 |
| lstarnes | WonderfunkJones: if you have up-to-date headers, compiling it should work if it doesn't rely on newer kernel features | 05:16 |
| dios_mio | how do i change my resolution for good? | 05:16 |
| CHIPSHANDON | where do i type that? | 05:16 |
| beyondcr | im just tired of getting it the way i like it then i mess somthing up and then it is no good | 05:16 |
| Alan502 | n8tuser i mean.. from ubuntu | 05:16 |
| norelpy | i can not run dailymotion videos too | 05:16 |
| CHIPSHANDON | into the bootable terminal? | 05:17 |
| lstarnes | CHIPSHANDON: in a terminal | 05:17 |
| n8tuser | Alan502 -> yeah thats what i meant, upon creation in windows did you attempt to store anything on it? | 05:17 |
| Jordan_U | CHIPSHANDON: You need to do a bit more if you wan to fix it from the LiveCD though | 05:17 |
| CHIPSHANDON | i realize that | 05:17 |
| don-ii | im trying to get cygwin ssh client to connect to my ubuntu ssh server. It connects, but im aiming for a passwordless connection, however it keeps askin for a passphrase/password | 05:17 |
| don-ii | any thoughts on the ssh problem ? | 05:17 |
| CHIPSHANDON | i just need that comand from earlier | 05:17 |
| Alan502 | n8tuser: yes i stored all my data there but long before playing with ubuntu | 05:17 |
| lstarnes | don-ii: you need to use public key authentication using a passwordless private key | 05:17 |
| soreau | WonderfunkJones: Can you try 'make clean; make' from the source directory? and make sure there aren't any errors? | 05:17 |
| n8tuser | Alan502 -> and now when you are in windows, you cant access D: ? | 05:18 |
| CHIPSHANDON | i get sound but no video | 05:18 |
| mitnick | Happy Iedul Fitri. :) | 05:18 |
| n8tuser | Alan502 -> did you try to access /dev/sda5 from ubuntu? mounting it first off course | 05:18 |
| Alan502 | mmm | 05:18 |
| don-ii | lstarnes: i understand that, ive set up my laptop to connect without password, and it works great. Im trying to get my windows machine to do the same, but each time its always askin for a passphrase. | 05:18 |
| Jordan_U | CHIPSHANDON: Does your monitor display an error? | 05:18 |
| CHIPSHANDON | there is nothing | 05:18 |
| Alan502 | i can access all drives from ubuntu n8tuser | 05:18 |
| norelpy | friends i can not open facebook videoswhat cani do | 05:18 |
| norelpy | i am using | 05:19 |
| CHIPSHANDON | blank | 05:19 |
| norelpy | ubuntu 9.04 | 05:19 |
| Jordan_U | CHIPSHANDON: You can get to a terminal with ctrl+alt+F1 | 05:19 |
| don-ii | now after i generate the key, and upload it to the server, do i need to change some setting on the server, or the client ? | 05:19 |
| CHIPSHANDON | i know | 05:19 |
| gilson | ? | 05:19 |
| KNY | what do I have to do to enable tab-completion on apt-get? | 05:19 |
| n8tuser | Alan502 -> then whats the issue? | 05:19 |
| arivu | http://pnaplinux.blogspot.com | 05:19 |
| CHIPSHANDON | I NEED THE COMMAND YOU GAVE ME EARLIER | 05:19 |
| Jordan_U | CHIPSHANDON: From the installed system it would be: sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf-bak /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 05:19 |
| lstarnes | !caps > CHIPSHANDON | 05:19 |
| ubottu | CHIPSHANDON, please see my private message | 05:19 |
| arivu | refer this for your all ubuntu queries | 05:19 |
| CHIPSHANDON | OK | 05:19 |
| Alan502 | n8tuser: i cant access D from windows | 05:19 |
| CHIPSHANDON | SORRY | 05:19 |
| CHIPSHANDON | im done | 05:19 |
| Alan502 | n8tuser: just from ubuntu | 05:19 |
| CHIPSHANDON | im just mad | 05:19 |
| lstarnes | don-ii: you need to add the contents of ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub on the client to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the server | 05:19 |
| CHIPSHANDON | i miss my regular computer | 05:20 |
| n8tuser | Alan502 -> from ubuntu you can open files from /dev/sda5 with no problems ? | 05:20 |
| soreau | CHIPSHANDON: It will help a lot if you just calm down and let us help you | 05:20 |
| Alan502 | yes | 05:20 |
| Alan502 | it is only windows were i am struggling with | 05:20 |
| lstarnes | don-ii: the command for that on the client is cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub | ssh user@server "tee -a ~/.ssh/authorized_keys" | 05:20 |
| Alan502 | but i think ubuntu installation there messed it up | 05:20 |
| pete__ | Alan502, haha me too | 05:20 |
| soreau | CHIPSHANDON: What did you do that broke X? | 05:20 |
| CHIPSHANDON | i know man. i hope the command restores it. ill do it later | 05:21 |
| CHIPSHANDON | talkin to my girl on this usless pidgin | 05:21 |
| Jordan_U | soreau: X is broken when using a default ( or no ) xorg.conf | 05:21 |
| Alan502 | haha damn windows pete__ | 05:21 |
| pete__ | CHIPSHANDON, pidgin is awesome! | 05:21 |
| CHIPSHANDON | kind of | 05:21 |
| soreau | Jordan_U: I see | 05:21 |
| CHIPSHANDON | but i thas a lot of flaws | 05:21 |
| tpeden | How do I get rid of this error: "Xlib: extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display "localhost:10.0"." | 05:21 |
| n8tuser | Alan502 -> i think its one of those that were not shutdown properly... | 05:21 |
| soreau | tpeden: What is giving you that message? | 05:22 |
| tpeden | I'm trying to use X11 Forwarding over ssh | 05:22 |
| Moon_Doggy | vbox anyone | 05:22 |
| Alan502 | n8tuser: so what would be the solution then? | 05:22 |
| tpeden | any gui program run over ssh | 05:22 |
| Alan502 | Moon_Doggy: try #vbox | 05:22 |
| CHIPSHANDON | i know you guys arent gonna like it, but i might have to revert this machine back to XP | 05:22 |
| Moon_Doggy | no luck | 05:22 |
| KNY | Moon_Doggy, start by stating the problem that you're having :) | 05:23 |
| n8tuser | Alan502 -> windows have chkdsk or some kind of utils to check the disk, run those | 05:23 |
| bucky | CHIPSHANDON, we don't care | 05:23 |
| KNY | bucky++ | 05:23 |
| DronKot | what is happend | 05:23 |
| n8tuser | Alan502 -> or go to #windows to find out how | 05:23 |
| Alan502 | n8tuser, i think you didnt read my post, i have done all this | 05:23 |
| Moon_Doggy | not my prob | 05:23 |
| Alan502 | n8tuser: and nothing working | 05:23 |
| CHIPSHANDON | thanks for the support bucky | 05:23 |
| n8tuser | Alan502 -> you expect me to remember everything? hehe | 05:23 |
| Alan502 | n8tuser: ok thanks | 05:23 |
| Moon_Doggy | magicblaze0071>Am I missing something in the fstab entry: cdrive /C vboxsf rw,uid=1000,exec,nomand,users 0 0 --> Does not let user 1000 to mount this drive. | 05:23 |
| bucky | CHIPSHANDON, you get what you pay for | 05:24 |
| Moon_Doggy | magicblaze0071>how do i let my users mount a vboxsf file system in linux? | 05:24 |
| CHIPSHANDON | who said anythng about paying | 05:24 |
| CHIPSHANDON | ???????? | 05:24 |
| soreau | CHIPSHANDON: Asking for support while you're frustrated is probably the worst thing you can do. Try the command that was given to you and see if it works first | 05:24 |
| n8tuser | Alan502 -> also since you can access them from ubuntu, you may want to try to save or backup that partition? | 05:24 |
| eddy | random thought: if you ever wanna edit /etc/sudoers make sure you can 'su root' or you'll break sudo upon giving sudoers syntax errors, forcing you to boot into livecd and fix it again | 05:24 |
| CHIPSHANDON | too much problems with this | 05:25 |
| CHIPSHANDON | to keep asking | 05:25 |
| pete__ | CHIPSHANDON, i have felt that way in previous releases | 05:25 |
| soreau | CHIPSHANDON: Then why are you here? | 05:25 |
| Myrtti | eddy: there's a better way to add sudoers than editing that file | 05:25 |
| JuanCarlos | CHIPSHANDON: calm down, ...and dont mess with the pidgin bird ;p | 05:25 |
| CHIPSHANDON | to fix my screen | 05:25 |
| LordLandon | eddy: According to prophecy, that's why you use visudo - it'll check the syntax before commiting it. | 05:25 |
| Jordan_U | Myrtti: Add the users to the "admin" group | 05:25 |
| pete__ | CHIPSHANDON, the people here will help you, but if you are not nice they will turn against you. | 05:25 |
| Alan502 | n8tuser: yes i will do it i think, the thing is that i cannot even boot ubuntu now :/ | 05:25 |
| tpeden | soreau: I take it you have no clue either? lol\ | 05:25 |
| Alan502 | n8tuser: dont know what happened | 05:25 |
| JuanCarlos | reinstall X, should fix it | 05:25 |
| CHIPSHANDON | im not being mean am i????? | 05:25 |
| soreau | tpeden: You never said what command gives you that message | 05:26 |
| CHIPSHANDON | :( | 05:26 |
| n8tuser | Alan502 -> thats a recent install isnt it? you can try to re-install | 05:26 |
| Myrtti | Jordan_U: yes, I know, it might be that eddy doesn't | 05:26 |
| tpeden | soreau: any gui app run over ssh | 05:26 |
| sebsebseb | tpeden: yes | 05:26 |
| JuanCarlos | tpeden: all GUI apps run over SSH | 05:26 |
| soreau | tpeden: Try DISPLAY=:0 appname | 05:26 |
| eddy | visudo eh, cool | 05:27 |
| soreau | tpeden: Or in your case, you might need to set DISPLAY=:10 | 05:27 |
| Alan502 | n8tuser: it is, i will i guess. But when i boot in live cd i can not get the graphical interface, just the ms-dos like screen | 05:27 |
| Jordan_U | Alan502: Even if you choose safe graphics mode? | 05:28 |
| CHIPSHANDON | maybe a different distro would work better. any suggestions? | 05:28 |
| n8tuser | Alan502 -> you can install from that too.. | 05:28 |
| CHIPSHANDON | i was thinking of trying puppy | 05:28 |
| Alan502 | n8tuser: how? whats the command? | 05:28 |
| soreau | CHIPSHANDON: All distributions of linux are able to use X. Avoiding the problem isn't helping. And ubuntu is probably the easiest to use WRT X | 05:29 |
| n8tuser | Alan502 -> what prompt do you get? | 05:29 |
| JuanCarlos | CHIPSHANDON: btw all are Linux, the same OS, diferent apps | 05:29 |
| CHIPSHANDON | wrt x? | 05:29 |
| Alan502 | n8tuser: i just get the terminal | 05:29 |
| CHIPSHANDON | speak english | 05:29 |
| tpeden | soreau: tried both, couldn't find that display | 05:29 |
| n8tuser | Alan502 -> what prompt do you get? even a terminal only. | 05:29 |
| tpeden | sebsebseb: what? | 05:29 |
| Jordan_U | CHIPSHANDON: With Reguard To | 05:29 |
| Alan502 | mmm | 05:29 |
| tpeden | JuanCarlos: ok... | 05:29 |
| JuanCarlos | purgue and reinstall the ubuntu-desktop | 05:30 |
| Alan502 | ubuntu@ubuntu? | 05:30 |
| bruenig | JuanCarlos: ubuntu-desktop is a dirty meta-package | 05:30 |
| bruenig | it will be of no help | 05:30 |
| CHIPSHANDON | i just wish i could figure out this resolution problem | 05:30 |
| JuanCarlos | well X | 05:30 |
| n8tuser | Alan502 -> umm i cant recall, but try /sbin/install | 05:30 |
| Alan502 | ok thanks :D | 05:30 |
| sebsebseb | tpeden: What do you want to do? | 05:30 |
| quartknee | I'm running Jaunty and it won't install updates/update my distribution because of medibuntu files. Should I delete those files? | 05:31 |
| soreau | CHIPSHANDON: You haven't even tried the solution given to you yet because you're admittedly using the live cd | 05:31 |
| jimbeam12 | hey all | 05:31 |
| CHIPSHANDON | because i messed up my current installation | 05:31 |
| sebsebseb | !welcome | jimbeam12 | 05:31 |
| ubottu | jimbeam12: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines. Enjoy your stay! | 05:31 |
| soreau | tpeden: Does 'ps ax|grep X' show X is in fact running? | 05:31 |
| jimbeam12 | anyone know what the default setting is for the sources.list | 05:31 |
| Alan502 | and btw n8tuser, do you know any program that can make a virtual cd burner drive? to create a factory recovery dvd with the utility the laptop came with... (it does not have a drive) | 05:31 |
| Jordan_U | soreau: The "solution" was to try using a default Xorg.conf, it failed to he had to revert back to his vesa xorg.conf | 05:31 |
| CHIPSHANDON | id try to do it nao, but im talking to my girl. | 05:32 |
| tpeden | sebsebseb: I'm trying to run gvim or redcar from my ubuntu server over ssh to edit some files using X11 Forwarding, but I get this error: Xlib: extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display "localhost:10.0". | 05:32 |
| CHIPSHANDON | thanks jordan | 05:32 |
| Jordan_U | soreau: For some reason X isn't working with the intel driver | 05:32 |
| tpeden | soreau: it's a headless box | 05:32 |
| soreau | Jordan_U: Why don't you have him pastebin X log? | 05:32 |
| sebsebseb | tpeden: can't really help with that | 05:32 |
| sebsebseb | !server | tpeden | 05:32 |

| === fernando is now known as Guest16261 | ||
| sebsebseb | tpeden: the last bit | 05:33 |
| tpeden | soreau: I had the same problem on a ubuntu desktop at work too tho, that I know is running x cuz the desktop displays properly | 05:33 |
| sebsebseb | tpeden: and yes I can't help with that | 05:33 |
| Jordan_U | soreau: Because at the time he had never booted with the intel driver ( he used safe graphics mode on the LiveCD ) so there was nothing relavent | 05:33 |
| === bluebottle is now known as Guest7257 | ||
| CHIPSHANDON | because the driver didnt work | 05:33 |
| tpeden | oh, didn't know that, thanks sebsebseb | 05:33 |
| soreau | tpeden: Well? There's your problem.. you can't ssh into a headless box not running X and try to run applications from it. If X was running on the box, running the application while ssh'd in would run it on that box, not the one you're ssh'ing from | 05:33 |
| sebsebseb | tpeden: np good luck | 05:33 |
| Bookman | Is there a program in the current repos that allows for remastering an current installation? | 05:34 |
| JuanCarlos | tpeden: ssh -X remote-user@remote-server-ip gvim | 05:34 |
| CHIPSHANDON | the driver doesnt work right | 05:34 |
| Jordan_U | soreau: I am not sure if it's easiest to have him fix his install and then pastebin, or walk him through mounting his root partition and pastebinning from the LiveCD | 05:34 |
| CHIPSHANDON | i forgot the name | 05:34 |
| tpeden | JuanCarlos: got that far thanks :-P | 05:34 |
| soreau | CHIPSHANDON: Can you pastebin /var/log/Xorg.1.log or Xorg.0.log.old, which ever one talks about (INTEL)? | 05:34 |
| n8tuser | Alan502 -> am not comprehending, you have a copy of the or you want to copy which? | 05:34 |
| CHIPSHANDON | i have no idea | 05:34 |
| CHIPSHANDON | what the hell you just sadi | 05:35 |
| CHIPSHANDON | said* | 05:35 |
| soreau | Jordan_U: Well try to get an X log for the failed intel session | 05:35 |
| pshr_ | well, going to write my mid semester exam in 1/2 hr ^_^ | 05:35 |
| kamen1 | Hey, anyone used e17 before with ubuntu | 05:35 |
| * pshr_ ... | 05:35 | |
| CHIPSHANDON | she offline | 05:35 |
| sebsebseb | kamen1: very brifely or whatever | 05:35 |
| CHIPSHANDON | im gonna try to run the command now | 05:35 |
| CHIPSHANDON | i need to write it down though | 05:35 |
| sebsebseb | !enter | CHIPSHANDON | 05:35 |
| ubottu | CHIPSHANDON: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 05:35 |
| arivu | http://pnaplinux.blogspot.com | 05:35 |
| CHIPSHANDON | otayyyyyyyyy | 05:35 |
| kamen1 | I can't install it on ubutnu ever guide I find is like 2 years old | 05:36 |
| CHIPSHANDON | im used to im'in alot | 05:36 |
| kamen1 | I like e16 quite a bit | 05:36 |
| sebsebseb | kamen1: Which version of Ubuntu? and what guide? | 05:36 |
| kamen1 | 9.01 I think | 05:36 |
| kamen1 | the latest one | 05:36 |
| sebsebseb | kamen1: ah you mean only e17 in the repo and no e16? | 05:36 |
| kamen1 | well I have e16 and I want e17 | 05:37 |
| echosystm | is there any way to allow ubuntu to run a program as root without typing in a password? | 05:37 |
| Bloodstar | Alright, got things mostly working... except I need athfmwdl.inf to use my wireless adapter (TEW444-UB) apparently, yet I can't even seem to find it on my Windows partition | 05:37 |
| sebsebseb | !info enlightment | 05:37 |
| ubottu | Package enlightment does not exist in jaunty | 05:37 |
| echosystm | i want to be able to turn off/on my wireless without putting in a password | 05:37 |
| sebsebseb | !info e17 | 05:37 |
| ubottu | Package e17 does not exist in jaunty | 05:37 |
| bruenig | echosystm: add a NOPASSWD exception in /etc/sudoers | 05:37 |
| echosystm | cheers | 05:37 |
| Jordan_U | echosystm: Yes, but you need to be very carefull about security and not breaking your system | 05:37 |
| kamen1 | that's too bad | 05:37 |
| sebsebseb | kamen1: it is in the repo one of them | 05:38 |
| echosystm | so you can do this for one program only? | 05:38 |
| echosystm | obviously i dont want to do it for everything | 05:38 |
| sebsebseb | kamen1: and maybe there's a ppa for an even later version | 05:38 |
| Like | hi gn | 05:38 |
| kamen1 | what's a ppa | 05:38 |
| sebsebseb | !ppa > kamen1 | 05:38 |
| Jordan_U | bruenig: Please don't suggest that without warning | 05:38 |
| ubottu | kamen1, please see my private message | 05:38 |
| n8tuser | echosystm -> what you mean by that, you can turn off the interface if thats what you mean | 05:38 |
| tpeden | !info enlightenment | 05:38 |
| ubottu | Package enlightenment does not exist in jaunty | 05:38 |
| echosystm | i dont maen through network manager | 05:38 |
| echosystm | i mean through iwconfig | 05:39 |
| sebsebseb | kamen1: a kind of mini repo in a way, but not that supported, and then you can get later versions of programs | 05:39 |
| n8tuser | echosystm -> you can turn it of via ifdown | 05:39 |
| sebsebseb | kamen1: normalley they are on launchpad as well | 05:39 |
| echosystm | nono, i mean ACTUALLY turn it off | 05:39 |
| sebsebseb | kamen1: and then you add a ppa for the program you want, if there is one | 05:39 |
| bruenig | meh | 05:39 |
| n8tuser | echosystm -> whats the difference? | 05:40 |
| echosystm | saves battery if you turn it off properly | 05:40 |
| n8tuser | echosystm -> then you can unload the driver | 05:40 |
| sebsebseb | kamen1: and you can probably compile e16 from source | 05:40 |
| echosystm | but not all wifi cars allow it | 05:40 |
| CHIPSHANDON | is this command gonna put it back in safe graphics mode? | 05:40 |
| n8tuser | !who | echosystm | 05:40 |
| ubottu | echosystm: 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 :) | 05:40 |
| Jordan_U | CHIPSHANDON: Yes | 05:40 |
| CHIPSHANDON | ok | 05:41 |
| echosystm | n8tuser: iwconfig ethX power off < this actually turns the chipset off entirely | 05:41 |
| n8tuser | echosystm -> okay, you already knew the command, so why not do it? | 05:41 |
| CHIPSHANDON | to be sure it is, sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf-bak /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 05:42 |
| Jordan_U | CHIPSHANDON: Make sure you remember to capitalize the "X" ( /etc/X11/xorg.conf ) | 05:42 |
| CHIPSHANDON | i know | 05:42 |
| echosystm | it needs to be run as root and i was just wasking how i can do this without putting in a password | 05:42 |
| CHIPSHANDON | look above | 05:42 |
| kamen1 | why isn't there a version of e17 for the latest version of ubuntu? | 05:42 |
| Jordan_U | CHIPSHANDON: Yes | 05:42 |
| echosystm | i already have the answer (see above) | 05:42 |
| n8tuser | echosystm -> networking is a system resource that require a root access, so you need a root priviledge to turn it on/off | 05:43 |
| CHIPSHANDON | when do i press ctr alt dlt for the terminal. i was just pressing untill it popped up | 05:43 |

But obviously, I can't run chkdsk because Windows is b0rked. Is there some other utility I can use that will do the job? | 05:57 |

| ZoeyMarie | JuanCarlos: I tried both, and neither is giving me info. on the PCM error.... I tried beast --bse-debug=pcm and it'll spit out a bunch of PCM garble... but I don't know what it is. | 06:39 |
| mezquitale | anyone knows if you can download the beta version using ftp? | 06:39 |
| xwin | JuanCarlos: his excellency { just kidding } thanks... | 06:40 |
| JuanCarlos | !Beast | 06:40 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about Beast | 06:40 |
| JuanCarlos | :( | 06:40 |
| JuanCarlos | what? | 06:40 |
| Fednux | download bt ? | 06:41 |
| xwin | JuanCarlos: just kidding. you're not king of Spain? :-( | 06:41 |
| JuanCarlos | ZoeyMarie: Beast is not supported by Ubuntu, maybe you can try beast developers support | 06:41 |
| ZoeyMarie | There is some info on the errors that I'm getting, but it's not very informative... | 06:41 |
| ZoeyMarie | It comes prepackaged on ubuntustudio.. | 06:42 |
| myownserver | What's the command line command to check a file or folder's current read/write settings? | 06:42 |
| ZoeyMarie | JuanCarlos: I have no idea where to look for support except here (since it was packaged with ubuntustudio) | 06:42 |

| JuanCarlos | vttr: i got netbook too, i build my USB flash drive with the iso and virtualbox-ose, booting from the iso, build the usb drive | 06:46 |
| cabaro | amites: ps aux check process id and then kill -9 1234 where 1234 is the process id | 06:46 |
| losher | vttr: can you try it with something a little less bleeding edge than karmic alpha? | 06:46 |
| JuanCarlos | you got OS on the netbook? | 06:46 |
| vttr | losher: it works well with 9.04 | 06:47 |
| vttr | JuanCarlos: yes both windows and ubuntu 9.04 | 06:47 |
| amites | cabaro: I don't know what the process is named | 06:47 |
| JuanCarlos | vttr: use a VM | 06:47 |
| vttr | JuanCarlos: does virtualbox support usb devices ? last time i tried it gave me a headache :) | 06:47 |
| cabaro | amites: what is the offending program? | 06:47 |
| lstarnes | vttr: sun's version does | 06:48 |
| JuanCarlos | from virtualbox.org yes, from repos no | 06:48 |
| scott | How come Ubuntu leave intricate patterns of thread in the hems of my denim when when I step on the pedal? | 06:48 |
| amites | "force quit" button from the panel | 06:48 |
| cabaro | amites: you could try top c | 06:48 |
| JuanCarlos | dont install the vm, only boot | 06:48 |
| vttr | ok JuanCarlos | 06:48 |
| vttr | so boot from iso in virtualbox and click usb creater? then what? | 06:48 |
| vttr | usb creator = unetbootin? | 06:49 |

| JuanCarlos | all from repos | 06:54 |

| shawn_ | Ive done it before fine | 06:54 |
| scott | sayed: You might have to select your audio device from that application. | 06:55 |
| JuanCarlos | shawn_: Try PlayOnLinux | 06:55 |

| JuanCarlos | i installed many times office 2003 with playonlinux, works ok | 06:56 |

| sayed | scott: I get an error message "connection failed: connection refused" | 06:56 |
| scott | sayed: Hrmmm... | 06:57 |
| scott | sayed: Okay, let's go to "System" >> "Preferences">> "Sound" | 06:57 |
| sayed | Done | 06:58 |
| scott | sayed: Already tried that? | 06:58 |

| CodeWar | we need to use a minimal linux installation across our labs for chip bringup. the chip has a very simple driver that does read/write to the register space based on user mode requests. the bulk of the driver logic is in a user mode app(this is not a production driver so security is not a concern). | 07:00 |
| shawn_ | Teclys: Because it doesnt have all the same features | 07:01 |
| CodeWar | I m exploring if the kernel mode driver can be written such taht it works across a large spectrum of kernel versions such taht people can install whatever distribution they need and just load this driver | 07:01 |
| sayed | scott: Hold on, I'll get the exact model, one second | 07:01 |
| Teclys | shawn_: what features doesn't it have that you need? | 07:01 |
| shawn_ | Teclys: Thing such as the automatically updating table of contents and small things like that | 07:01 |
| Teclys | shawn_: ah okay, i've never done such a thing on either MS or OO. definitely go with wine. it should work perfectly | 07:02 |

| ^mNotIntelligent | having problem with resume from disk on dell studio 1555 jaunty , any idea on that? | 07:11 |
| Dr_Willis | causasui: not very easially from what ive read.. | 07:12 |
| causasui | Dr_Willis: What have you read? | 07:12 |
| losher | ^mNotIntelligent: how much RAM do you have? And how much swap? | 07:12 |
| Dr_Willis | causasui: nautilus is also in charge of the default desktop/icons.. so if you are not carefull you still end up launchingit. | 07:12 |
| losher | causasui: what do you want to change it to? | 07:13 |
| Dr_Willis | causasui: i looked up that 'how to change default file manager in gnome' on the forums and google.. and found a lot of info .. that boiled down to ' this sort of works.. but i had issues' | 07:13 |
| causasui | losher: konqueror, which is already installed and working | 07:13 |
| Dr_Willis | causasui: i saw some scripts that were supposed to change it to/from konqueror. | 07:13 |

| ^mNotIntelligent | losher, 4 gig ram but my current kernel sees only 3 gig and swap 1.5 gig | 07:14 |
| Dr_Willis | zhjiang: probelry are. :) it depends on their work. | 07:14 |
| Igramul | Hi, since I connected to a server using sftp, Ubuntu keeps asking me for the password to my private ssh key every time I log in and every time I open the file browser. How can I turn that off? | 07:15 |
| causasui | Dr_Willis: Well, thanks for your help I guess, but that doesnt do me much good then | 07:15 |
| lstarnes | Igramul: does the server have your public key in your ~/.ssh/authorized_keys ? | 07:15 |
| losher | ^mNotIntelligent: my understanding is that for suspend/resume, the swap partition must be equal or greater to the size of RAM, since it basically copies RAM to swap when it suspends... | 07:15 |
| Anthrax | how do i install winetrix 2.0 on ubuntu? | 07:15 |
| gusty | use synaptic | 07:16 |
| Igramul | lstarnes, yes - but I do not want to connect to the server at all, e.g. all I want is to access my USB drive. | 07:16 |
| zhjiang | Dr_Willis: I'm trying to do that for fun, but found it irritates my eyes. Just wondering if there are any configuration that can help | 07:16 |
| ^mNotIntelligent | losher, quite possible, but when i did a fresh install of jaunty a month ago it was working fine...then something went wrong...i've not done any changes to swap space either | 07:16 |
| Teclys | i have a machine running 9.10 alpha 3, is there an easy way to upgrade to alpha 5? | 07:17 |

| lstarnes | Teclys: sorry, lsb_release -a | 07:17 |

| vraa_ | however my internet works fine once i'm logged into the computer | 07:19 |
| vraa_ | how could i go about diagnosing this, using ssh, without rebooting the machine, lol | 07:19 |
| losher | zhjiang: once up a time I used to dial in using a vt100 and a 2400 baud modem, and was the envy of my friends because I could work at home. But really, having multiple xterms is such a blessing that I wouldn't give it up 'for fun'. I don't run a desktop though... | 07:19 |
| Teclys | ahh okay, thank you | 07:19 |

| vraa_ | yes that makes sense, it's just i wasnt at my workstation, had a few hrs to kill, was wondering if anyone knew what might've been the issue | 07:21 |

| zhjiang | Dr_Willis: I'm using fbterm, it seems I can set font, and size, etc.. But I don't feel it helps.

| navetz | can someone please help me reinstall my sound to the way it was when i upgraded to 9.04? | 07:30 |
| soreau | Drained: We tend to help a lot with driver issues in #compiz since they need to be installed correctly as a prerequisite for compiz | 07:30 |
| navetz | i need to reinstall the sound drivers or config files :S | 07:30 |
| losher | vraa_: the unused interfaces should probably be configured to be 'down'. Sorry, dunno how you do that in the interfaces file.... | 07:31 |
| zhjiang | losher: I found all other bg colors on tty sucks, black is slightly better. I don't have much choice. Only eight of them. | 07:31 |

| ccfontes | well, Ill ask anyway. I have an integrated 3g modem. when I use Network Manager to create a new configuration, I choose NTTdocomo, which is my isp. I assume it sets the right configurations for this isp. then when connecting it disconnects itself imediately. I have pin code on. may it be this the issue? | 07:32 |

| kannan01 | lstarnes: tnx | 07:56 |
| sarthorks | losher:i guess the problem lies with the fact that it says something like "action_taken=block,category=games". i cannot access that download link directly because it is blocked here. i thought wget would help me get over it. is that not possible? | 07:56 |
| losher | jimbeam12: a virus is unlikely. Please supply details... | 07:57 |
| pradeep | Ignostic:no it won take that long | 07:57 |
| JuanCarlos | Ignostic: chown $USER --verbose --recursive /path/to/folders/you/need/to/change | 07:57 |
| Ignostic | pradeep, 65 gbs will | 07:57 |
| pradeep | Ignostic: yeah:-) it will now | 07:57 |
| pradeep | ankit_ : there? | 07:58 |
| JuanCarlos | Ignostic: chmod --verbose --recursive +w /path/to/folders/you/need/to/change | 07:58 |

| ankit__ | pradeep wht drivers u installed.. | 07:58 |
| pradeep | Ignostic : chmod -R 777 /path/ | 07:58 |
| Ignostic | JuanCarlos, is it possible to just do the whole home folder? | 07:58 |
| ankit__ | used the repository drivers or downloaded frm nvidia | 07:58 |
| pradeep | ankit_ yes | 07:59 |
| _genuser_ | Hello People. | 07:59 |
| JuanCarlos | Ignostic: take care, but yes | 07:59 |
| _genuser_ | having an issue mounting a network mount. | 07:59 |
| Ignostic | ok, thanks | 07:59 |
| pradeep | ankit_ one which was there in repository,nvidia 180 something | 07:59 |
| losher | sarthorks: it depends who is doing the blocking. If it's at the proxy then I don't see what you can do about it. It *does* look like a game, and it's a huge download. So maybe you shouldn't be doing this at work.... | 07:59 |
| ankit__ | pradeep: i think u should try to remove the drivers and re compile them | 07:59 |
| _genuser_ | says wrong fs type. | 07:59 |
| JuanCarlos | Ignostic: with these command all files are yours and with read/write permissions | 08:00 |
| ankit__ | pradeep: problem lies in the drivers.. its a typical problem associated with driver conflict | 08:00 |
| sarthorks | losher: yeah ;) . anyway i found a direct link to the download which *does* open. so hurray! thanks! | 08:00 |
| pradeep | ankit_ I removed them and installed again, but the problem was there | 08:00 |
| dragonlyre | how do you remove sfwdeck? | 08:00 |
| dragonlyre | er sfwdec* | 08:01 |
| _genuser_ | any ideas? | 08:01 |
| ankit__ | pradeep: probably u should try some other operating system.. which might solve your problem | 08:01 |
| _genuser_ | how to mount a nfs share? | 08:01 |
| pradeep | ankit_ i love ubuntu | 08:01 |
| losher | _genuser_: how are you trying to mount it currently? | 08:01 |
| pradeep | ankit_ i can manage but don have compiz effects that's all | 08:02 |
| ToastedSalad | leaf-sheep: are you here? | 08:02 |
| pradeep | any one knows how to automount my other partitions when ever i login | 08:02 |
| _genuser_ | losher: using sudo mount 192.168.1.3:/raidshare /mnt/raid | 08:02 |
| Ignostic | JuanCarlos, it seemed to have done the trick, so thanks | 08:02 |
| Ignostic | pradeep, i didn't try yours but I'm sure it would of worked | 08:03 |
| Ignostic | bye | 08:03 |
| ^mNotIntelligent | pradeep, add them to /etc/fstab | 08:03 |
| JuanCarlos | Ignostic: bye | 08:03 |
| pradeep | Ignostic: np | 08:03 |
| lstarnes | _genuser_: what protocol are ytou using for the remote share? | 08:03 |
| lstarnes | *you | 08:03 |
| leaf-sheep | ToastedSalad: Hmm? | 08:03 |
| Speed3 | Hey all. I want to compile a vanilla kernel from kernel.org on Kubuntu. Will I loose the ability to install the nvidia-proprietary drivers or experience any other issues? | 08:03 |
| ToastedSalad | leaf-sheep: are you still helping me? | 08:03 |
| pradeep | ^mNotIntelligent, how? | 08:03 |
| lstarnes | Speed3: custom kernels aren't official supported | 08:03 |
| _genuser_ | lstarnes: remote computer is sharing the same share over nfs and samba. | 08:03 |
| leaf-sheep | ToastedSalad: Sure. Did you try turning off and on the mouse? | 08:03 |
| ToastedSalad | yes | 08:04 |
| lstarnes | _genuser_: whieh are you going to use? | 08:04 |
| lstarnes | *which | 08:04 |
| Speed3 | lstarnes: OK, I understand that. If I do it, what are the "consequences"? I've been using Linux for 10+ years and always compile my own vanilla kernels. | 08:04 |
| losher | _genuser_: the command looks ok. What's the output when you run it? | 08:04 |
| leaf-sheep | ToastedSalad: Same HID interrupt? | 08:04 |
| ^mNotIntelligent | pradeep, somethng like this: /dev/sda3 /media/OS ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_IN 0 0 , replace /media/OS with your mount poitn and /dev/sda3 with your partition number and you're done | 08:04 |
| lstarnes | Speed3: the packages always assume that you are using the kernel packages that come with ubuntu | 08:04 |
| _genuser_ | lstarnes: either is fine. Normally, just the command works fine. It picks either or. I have also specified -t nfs at the end. Doesn't like it. | 08:05 |
| navetz | is there a way to reinstall your kernel? | 08:05 |
| ToastedSalad | leaf-sheep: ha! it finally worked | 08:05 |
| lstarnes | Speed3: differences between your kernel and the version that ubuntu uses may cause breakage | 08:05 |
| pradeep | ^mNotIntelligent, ty | 08:05 |
| ToastedSalad | leaf-sheep: how do I make this permanent? | 08:05 |
| navetz | like reinstall it as if your were upgrading from 8.10 to 9.04? | 08:05 |
| _genuser_ | losher: maybe wrong versions of nfs and samba? | 08:05 |
| leaf-sheep | ToastedSalad: That HID Interrupt is weird. Something that shouldn't happening... unless you tried many things at once. | 08:05 |
| leaf-sheep | ToastedSalad: It should already be permanent now. | 08:06 |
| lstarnes | _genuser_: do you have nfs-common installed? | 08:06 |
| ToastedSalad | tried many things at once? | 08:06 |
| _genuser_ | lstarnes, didn't install it specifically. default kubuntu install. | 08:06 |
| leaf-sheep | ToastedSalad: Basically you tried to connect/disconnect/unknown with Bluetooth. | 08:06 |
| losher | _genuser_: can't speak for samba, but unless client and server are from very different eras, nfs incompatibility is unlikely | 08:07 |
| yuanxin | how can I stop Ubuntu from making a fat beep every time I do anything? | 08:07 |
| _genuser_ | my distro upgrade is almost 99%. It might auto reboot the computer. | 08:07 |
| ToastedSalad | leaf-sheep: can you wait a few minutes so I can restart my computer and see if it sticks? | 08:07 |
| yuanxin | like backspace too far in a terminal | 08:07 |
| _genuser_ | losher, then perhaps missing nfs-common. | 08:07 |
| lstarnes | _genuser_: if you have nfs-common installed, nfs mounts should work | 08:07 |
| leaf-sheep | ToastedSalad: Okay. I think it'll stick. (Or it should be). Go and reboot. I'll be here. | 08:07 |
| ToastedSalad | brb | 08:07 |
| lstarnes | _genuser_: you may also need portmap | 08:07 |
| losher | _genuser_: sudo mount -t nfs 192.168.1.3:/raidshare /mnt/raid | 08:08 |
| dragonlyre | can anyone tell me how to make adobe flash my primary player instead of sfwdec? | 08:08 |

| Dr_Willis | Guest3565: i know the Demo worked for me last i tried it a few months ago.. and they got a large forum i recall | 08:15 |
| cabaro | echo "blacklist pcspkr" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist | 08:15 |
| eddy | add .conf | 08:15 |
| ToastedSalad | leaf-sheep: where does the turning off the mouse come in""? | 08:15 |
| ^mNotIntelligent | yuanxin, use what cabaro said, blacklist the pcspkr... | 08:15 |
| eddy | or you'll get some warning thing | 08:15 |
| pete__ | eddy, ? | 08:15 |
| JoeSomebody | hi, newbie here, prior to my first proper install, on my extra windows machine i am making a partition, should it be ext2 or ext3? | 08:16 |
| eddy | pete__, what cabaro said | 08:16 |
| allan89041 | is there a repo that i can add for teh bleeding edge kernel? | 08:16 |
| eddy | but add .conf to the end of that command | 08:16 |
| yuanxin | ^mNotIntelligent: that's what it says to do on the site silly | 08:16 |
| leaf-sheep | ToastedSalad: Step 4. It's not often for people to experience HID interrupt, I suppose. (I think it was because you paired the Bluetooth and bluz-compat wasn't installed; then you tried to pair it again). | 08:16 |
| ^mNotIntelligent | JoeSomebody, make it ex3 | 08:16 |
| pete__ | eddy, to upgrade to karmic do i just change all my sources, and then use synaptic | 08:17 |
| pete__ | ? | 08:17 |
| JoeSomebody | ok thanks | 08:17 |
| ZoeyMarie | Can someone help me troubleshoot installing this tar.gz? | 08:17 |
| Guest3565 | Dr.Willis, well I downloaded the 32bit version, but it won't even start the game, it istalled fine but no game...it pops up a black screen then disappears, know why by chance? | 08:17 |
| idyle | pete__: I tried that, but half the updates it lists are blocked, so I figured it was bugging out | 08:17 |
| ^mNotIntelligent | yuanxin, nobody wants to visit a site if he gets a oneline aswer...silly | 08:17 |
| eddy | pete__, yea or you could use command line: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 08:17 |
| yuanxin | ^mNotIntelligent: true, but I had already visited it | 08:17 |

| eddy | ubuntu is sexy | 08:19 |
| ToastedSalad | leaf-sheep: ok thank you. bye | 08:19 |
| Guest3565 | pete I would agree, although mine doesn't like games at all in the slitest! lol | 08:19 |
| eddy | but someone over in #vbox said i should try Arch and that i will :-) | 08:19 |
| eddy | i hear pacman is awesome | 08:19 |
| idyle | is there anyone who can help me getting karmic installed from jaunty, none of the normal methods work (apt-get dist-upgrade, do-release-upgrade -d, update-manager -d, etc) | 08:19 |
| pete__ | Guest3565, what doesnt like games? | 08:19 |
| pete__ | I play SNES on here lol | 08:19 |
| eddy | pete__, frozen bubble is the best game for linux | 08:20 |
| pete__ | idyle, i was just getting ready to try!? whats wrong | 08:20 |
| eddy | lol i love that game so don't hate | 08:20 |
| pete__ | eddy, i like my snes games haha | 08:20 |
| gac1 | Hi does anyone one know how safe it is to download security updates from Update Manager that are not "authenticated" | 08:20 |
| idyle | pete__: I think it's because I started it and then declined just before it started | 08:20 |
| Guest3565 | pete My system doesn't play games for me, not sure what the deal is really, Windows its a piece of cake, but ubuntu hates games for me... think i got a driver issue of some sort...not too sure though | 08:20 |
| pete__ | idyle, ask eddy lol | 08:20 |
| ZoeyMarie | Can someone help me troubleshoot installing this tar.gz? | 08:20 |
| idyle | I think he said he doesn't know what's going on :| | 08:21 |
| pete__ | Guest3565, most games are built for windows | 08:21 |
| Myrtti | gac1: you installed the software in the first place, and trusted the software then | 08:21 |
| Myrtti | gac1: what made you change your mind? | 08:21 |
| Guest3565 | pete I got the game for linux called SAVAGE 2 and can't get it to work. and another NEXIUZ also neither will work right... | 08:21 |
| gac1 | I get a message about unauthenticated software | 08:21 |
| ZoeyMarie | What is an SVC? | 08:22 |
| lstarnes | gac1: it depends on which repository it comes from | 08:22 |
| idyle | ZoeyMarie: try googling | 08:22 |
| pete__ | idyle, did you change all ur souces in /etc/apt/sources.list and then, sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 08:22 |
| gac1 | How do you mean ? | 08:22 |
| pete__ | ZoeyMarie, if its a .tar.gz its source code | 08:22 |
| idyle | pete__: no, I will try that | 08:22 |
| eddy | idyle, you must first update your sources.list to karmic then dist-upgrade | 08:23 |
| lstarnes | gac1: if they're from official ubuntu repositories on official ubuntu mirrors, they are generally safe | 08:23 |
| eddy | what pete__ said haha | 08:23 |
| zhjiang | are there any machine learning people here? | 08:23 |
| pete__ | well im doing dist-upgrade now | 08:23 |
| eddy | i am a machine | 08:23 |
| pete__ | wish me luck | 08:23 |
| pete__ | haha | 08:23 |
| idyle | pete__: hey that looks like it's working | 08:23 |
| ZoeyMarie | hrm... let me rephrase this... I'm trying to install a tar.gz file, and it tells me to qmake the src/ dir of the sources... but then it points me to a site that just explains what SVN is, I think... | 08:23 |
| gac1 | Oh OK but I got this warning message about security updates being dangerous | 08:23 |
| Myrtti | gac1: you installed that software earlier, and it came from an unauthenticated source then | 08:23 |
| pete__ | idyle, yea, we are both doing it at the exact same moment haha | 08:23 |
| pete__ | idyle, yea, you know why i always seem to come in here and help people? cause ive had all these problems before hahah | 08:24 |
| idyle | :P! | 08:24 |
| Myrtti | gac1: only thing you're doing now is updating and upgrading that same software | 08:24 |
| idyle | yeah pass on the good advise :D | 08:24 |
| pete__ | i tried to use ubuntu when it was the badger | 08:24 |
| pete__ | but it never worked on my machine | 08:24 |
| gac1 | Oh OK. Thanks a lot. | 08:24 |
| pete__ | wow downloading karmic packages at 1.8 mb/sec | 08:25 |
| idyle | lol yeah it's been getting WAY better the last couple of years | 08:25 |
| idyle | I got 1.5mbps | 08:25 |
| gac1 | I'm new to this system but I do love Ubuntu so much superior to Windows nonsense | 08:25 |
| pete__ | nice. comcast? | 08:25 |
| idyle | at&t | 08:25 |

| idyle | yeah his dad works for at& | 08:26 |
| ZoeyMarie | Okay. So I svn'd the source code, and it appears to be downloading it... where is it downloading it to, so I know where to point qmake to? | 08:26 |
| sarthorks | how do i play .rm files in ubuntu? these are Real Player files. | 08:26 |
| idyle | so maybe that's why | 08:26 |
| idyle | good night everyone! | 08:26 |
| lstarnes | ZoeyMarie: it's downloading it to a directory under your current directory | 08:27 |
| ZoeyMarie | ahhh | 08:27 |
| test3434 | good morning everyone | 08:27 |
| pete__ | eddy, it doesnt matter im on xubuntu for karmic does it | 08:27 |
| bill_ | hi | 08:27 |
| abc123 | hi all | 08:27 |
| eddy | pete__, it shouldn't | 08:27 |
| pete__ | eddy, im really liking xfce | 08:28 |
| eddy | yea it's light and fast; i prefer gnome though | 08:28 |
| eddy | ... regular ubuntu :-) | 08:28 |
| nemo_ | fluxbox ftw | 08:28 |
| Drained | anyone know of a way to get usb headset to work with ubuntu? | 08:29 |
| gac1 | Anyway, i had trouble just getting here. Thanks for help. | 08:29 |
| * eddy agrees with nemo_ ... fluxbox ftw on speed | 08:29 | |
| alkisg | Is keyserver.ubuntu.com down? | 08:29 |
| pete__ | eddy, how do I try fluxbox without fucking up my xfce ? | 08:29 |
| ZoeyMarie | Okay. So I'm trying to qmake the src/ dir of the sources... and it's telling me there's an error processing the project file at the location that I provided. What's going on? | 08:29 |
| nemo_ | it wont change any xfce stuff | 08:29 |
| nemo_ | just install it | 08:30 |
| pete__ | nemo_, so, sudo apt-get install fluxbox and select from login? | 08:30 |
| eddy | pete__, i suggest looking up and install qingy with fluxbox | 08:30 |
| nemo_ | yeah | 08:30 |
| pete__ | qingy | 08:30 |
| pete__ | ok ill look it up | 08:30 |
| eddy | qingy is best for selecting windows managers | 08:30 |
| eddy | uses directfb for login screen | 08:30 |
| pete__ | is fluxbox ugly? | 08:30 |
| pete__ | cause xfce is fast enough and it looks good | 08:31 |
| nemo_ | by default i little | 08:31 |
| nemo_ | but you can customize it alot | 08:31 |
| eddy | yea i suggest customizing | 08:31 |
| rxd | anyone can point me to aufs root filesystem | 08:31 |
| eddy | what nemo_ said haha | 08:31 |
| pete__ | would anyone care to show me a screenshot of a fluxbox desktop, one that someone actually uses | 08:31 |
| pete__ | just curious | 08:31 |
| eddy | http://images.google.com/images?q=fluxbox&oe=utf-8&rls=com.ubuntu:en-US:unofficial&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wi | 08:32 |
| eddy | tons there | 08:32 |
| * blunder loves fluxbox/blackbox | 08:32 | |
| pete__ | omg. | 08:32 |
| pete__ | i need one like this > so bad > http://www.otasc.org/dotclear/public/windows-manager/fluxbox.jpg | 08:32 |
| pete__ | not the wallpaper | 08:33 |
| pete__ | but the wm | 08:33 |
| nemo_ | ya mine looks similar to that | 08:33 |
| nemo_ | i like dark themes | 08:33 |
| pete__ | well im upgrading to karmic now, | 08:33 |
| pete__ | so when thats done ill check out qingy and fluxbox | 08:33 |
| eddy | werd | 08:34 |
| nemo_ | ya and have fun with it. it will take some time to learn about it | 08:34 |
| eddy | yea i customize my gnome to be dark | 08:34 |
| nemo_ | but ppl on irc can be helpful | 08:34 |
| nemo_ | ;) | 08:34 |
| eddy | with cairo-dock and compiz fx | 08:34 |
| trgbeck | just like Gnome with extended menu with KDE I like both worlds in one | 08:34 |
| nemo_ | its kind of funny how free software is so much better than software that costs money | 08:35 |
| pete__ | nemo_, i was just thinking that | 08:35 |
| pete__ | SO much better | 08:35 |
| nemo_ | and more secure | 08:35 |
| nemo_ | more stable | 08:36 |
| pete__ | haha the list is long. | 08:36 |
| nemo_ | seriously | 08:36 |
| TemeW | well it always depends on the software too | 08:36 |
| eddy | free software is made by real hackers and nerds, enterprise software is made by idiots who barely passed their DOT NET courses in college | 08:36 |
| trgbeck | lol | 08:36 |
| TemeW | haha | 08:36 |
| nemo_ | well there audience is different too i suppose | 08:36 |
| TemeW | but i actually like ubuntu as a home pc | 08:37 |
| eddy | i'm goin to give arch linux a try | 08:37 |
| nemo_ | i have like 4 win licenses i dont use lol | 08:37 |
| TemeW | :D | 08:37 |
| eddy | tired of ubuntu lol | 08:37 |
| TemeW | arch linux is gay | 08:38 |
| eddy | you are gay | 08:38 |
| nemo_ | just fyi arch is more manual install then ubuntu | 08:38 |
| TemeW | ;) | 08:38 |

| smn_ | I great people of ubuntu community! :D I got this file kompozer-0.8a4-gcc4.2-i686.tar.gz and im trying to install it. Ive used this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingEasyHowTo untill i got to the line "you just need to change to your /usr/local/src directory (cd /usr/local/src) and run the commands that are listed. The procedure will vary from program to program, so I can't help you here". Ive looked trough the files i got extrac | 08:42 |
| smn_ | ted and i cannot find a readme file or install instructions.... Any clue on what i need to do to get this programm installed? | 08:42 |
| lstarnes | anothergit: yes | 08:42 |
| nemo_ | it means you need to run as user | 08:42 |
| nemo_ | not as sudo | 08:42 |
| anothergit | I think I just did remove when I noticed it had ver 2.4 instead of 3 | 08:42 |
| anothergit | then I installed 3 | 08:42 |
| daivana | how do I do that | 08:42 |
| daivana | sorry I am a noob :) | 08:43 |
| Gnea | anothergit: 40gig should be good enough, programs shouldn't, with OOo, take more than 3-6gig | 08:43 |

| obiwan__ | i'll ask, just in case any1 knows. I read: order is significant. ls > file 2>&1 will redirect ouput & error to file, but ls 2&>1 > file will just out, i can't get it. I know about the order in redirection, and understand the first case is the obvious. But the second should work too: 2 points to 1, and 1 point to file, so 2 should go to file too. Why not? | 08:43 |
| daivana | it wont work | 08:43 |

| ubottu | bambang-pc: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience | 08:48 |

| bambang-pc | !repeat | 08:48 |

| Dr_Willis | Guest3565: be sure you have the proper 3d drivers installed for your video card | 08:55 |
| Blizzerand | Guest3565 : Nexiuz never worked for me , whats your graphical card | 08:55 |
| Guest3565 | Graphics Card is intel 865G | 08:56 |
| CodeWar | I have a ext4 partition that I mounted manually ... how do I add it to /etc/fstab ... I mean what options are required | 08:56 |

| Dr_Willis | !intel | Guest3565 | 08:57 |
| Blizzerand | bambang-pc : Ah now I think I do understand your problem | 08:57 |
| ubottu | Guest3565: 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. | 08:57 |
| bambang-pc | yes | 08:57 |
| Justicepsion | Is there any way I can get Ubiquity to install to a different disk than the one it wants to install to? | 08:57 |
| bambang-pc | yes, i did | 08:57 |
| porkpie | hey guy's ... I trying to find an ip address in some file on my server using grep but I have forgot the command to search sub dir's grep ?? | 08:57 |

| Guest3565 | I know bot, lol thats why I use 8.10 lol | 08:57 |
| nemo_ | yes | 08:57 |
| Dr_Willis | porkpie: try -r (thats ormally for recursive) or -R or check greps man pages. | 08:57 |
| Blizzerand | !shutdown | 08:58 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about shutdown | 08:58 |
| porkpie | Dr_Willis: thanks ..... I knew it was something like that | 08:58 |
| cabaro | bambang-pc: which motherboard, BIOS (version) | 08:58 |
| Guest3565 | So what can I do? those games run fine in windows, but using linux just ain't workin right, and I can't go back to windows | 08:59 |
| Blizzerand | bambang-pc : try this from a terminal -> sudo shutdown | 08:59 |
| bambang-pc | how can i check may motherboard or bios?? | 09:00 |
| Justicepsion | Guest3565: What is your graphics card? | 09:00 |

| eddy | !ati | 09:00 |
| ubottu | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 09:00 |
| Blizzerand | Guest3565 : ubuntu really doesn't go well with games . If you have Vbox try installing windows there and playing those games | 09:01 |
| dyjytyl | how do i look up hosting info on a domain | 09:02 |
| bambang-pc | can i shutting down normally without by pass from terminal?? | 09:03 |

| lstarnes | dyjytyl: whois domain | 09:03 |
| Guest3565 | Justicepsion its an intel 865g | 09:03 |
| bambang-pc | !ask | 09:03 |
| ubottu | 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. :-) | 09:03 |
| Guest3565 | Blizzerand what is vbox? | 09:03 |
| Blizzerand | !virtualbox | Guest3565 | 09:04 |
| ubottu | Guest3565: virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from the package 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox | 09:04 |
| Justicepsion | Guest3565: That's definitely part of the problem--Intel cards are . . . eh. I mean, I have one too. But let me see, I know a way to fix that . . . | 09:04 |
| rxd | why my usb-creator is greyed out, i want to install ubuntu to a usb stick | 09:04 |
| rxd | want to try 9.10 karmic | 09:04 |
| Blizzerand | Guest3565 : It creates a virtual machine . you can run your windows there and play all you want . | 09:04 |
| BaGy | rxd you must make iso file | 09:05 |
| Jordan_U | dyjytyl: whois domain | 09:05 |
| dyjytyl | thanks.. forgot about that one | 09:05 |
| dyjytyl | its too late at night | 09:05 |
| cabaro | bambang-pc: let me rephrase, how old is your computer, is it a laptop? what model? | 09:05 |
| trgbeck | have toshiba satellite A205-s5804 all intel stuff working fine | 09:05 |
| rxd | BaGy: i have the karmic-desktop.iso | 09:05 |
| bambang-pc | yes, it is a laptop, model toshiba a 215 s 5818 | 09:05 |
| Justicepsion | Guest3565: Do you know how to add a package repository to your list of sources? | 09:05 |
| Guest3565 | Blizzerand only problem is I no longer have an install for windows, my pc didn't come with one. Know how to fix that lol or I gotta fork out some money to get another copy? | 09:05 |
| Blizzerand | bambang-pc : k try that command just to see whether your pc shuts down or not | 09:05 |
| bambang-pc | 1,5 years old | 09:06 |
| cabaro | one moment | 09:06 |
| Guest3565 | Justice sort of isn't that through the third party thing right? | 09:06 |
| dyjytyl | what is the "wheel" group in linux | 09:06 |
| Justicepsion | Guest3565: In this case, you'll be adding a software source that will give you updated intel video drivers. | 09:06 |
| trgbeck | i have found that load intel microcode in seems to help in someways | 09:06 |
| Jordan_U | dyjytyl: Traditionaly it's users who are allowed to su to root | 09:06 |
| cabaro | bambang-pc: are you running 32 or 64 bit ubuntu? | 09:06 |
| bambang-pc | i'm have tried sudo shutdown -p , but my system cannot shutting down normally | 09:06 |
| dyjytyl | oh nevermind i googled it, it is common | 09:07 |
| bambang-pc | 32 bit | 09:07 |
| Blizzerand | Guest3565 : or just avoid them lol . They are for kids | 09:07 |
| inktri | what's a site that lists how many lines of source code for major open source projects? | 09:07 |
| trgbeck | acept suspend mode is tricky to get working in toshiba | 09:07 |
| Blizzerand | bambang-pc : try shutdown -h | 09:07 |
| Justicepsion | Guest3565: Go to System -> Administration -> Software Sources | 09:08 |
| Guest3565 | Justice okay | 09:08 |
| bambang-pc | i have trie shutdown -p -d -h , but it still | 09:08 |
| BaGy | xD | 09:08 |
| Guest3565 | justice there | 09:08 |
| Pirate_Hunter | how do i view time in terminal or both time and date? | 09:08 |
| Justicepsion | Guest3565 : then click on the Third-Party Software tab, and click on add. | 09:08 |

| Pirate_Hunter | lstarnes: weird that time is a comand that does something different | 09:09 |
| Blizzerand | !info nicotine | 09:09 |

| Justicepsion | Guest3565 : enter this line: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates/ubuntu jaunty main | 09:10 |
| ^mNotIntelligent | Pirate_Hunter, time gives the running time of the command next to it...its very useful command | 09:10 |
| Guest3565 | I am not using jaunty though | 09:10 |
| BaGy | bambang-pc what happen when you run shutdown -h? | 09:10 |
| Jordan_U | Justicepsion: Are you sure he needs that? it can be unstable | 09:10 |
| ^mNotIntelligent | Pirate_Hunter, prefix time to any command for which you want to know the run time | 09:10 |
| Justicepsion | Guest3565 : let it be known that this repo can be unstable | 09:11 |
| Justicepsion | Guest3565 : but that I use it and it works fine for me | 09:11 |
| Guest3565 | I just wanna be able to play my games lol | 09:11 |
| Blizzerand | Guest3565 : Don't try that lol | 09:11 |
| bambang-pc | this message return "System Now Halted" | 09:11 |
| bambang-pc | then i must manually press the power button to power off normally | 09:11 |
| Jordan_U | !sysrq | bambang-pc | 09:11 |
| ubottu | bambang-pc: In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key | 09:11 |
| Justicepsion | Guest3565 : in all seriousness I've never had any problems with it, but I can't promise anything. | 09:12 |
| Blizzerand | bambang-pc : Thats a problem with you PC and has nothing to do with Ubuntu . Did you have any similar problem in any other OS | 09:12 |
| Guest3565 | justice okay thats fine after i add that then what do i do? | 09:12 |
| Justicepsion | And actually, the line should be deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates/ubuntu intrepid main | 09:12 |
| Justicepsion | Sorry | 09:12 |
| bambang-pc | nop | 09:12 |
| bambang-pc | my laptop is running normally with win xp and windows seven | 09:13 |
| Pirate_Hunter | ^mNotIntelligent: oh yah I see how that can be useful nice just learnt two things in a short time period | 09:13 |
| dyjytyl | if i want to only give a user access to /home/rawr2/, do i need to add a new user group and user? or can i add the user to wheel and then restrict his SU privs to ONLY the /home/rawr2 directory? | 09:13 |
| Blizzerand | bambang-pc : Have you used any other Linux distribution before | 09:13 |
| bambang-pc | nop | 09:13 |
| bambang-pc | only ubuntu | 09:13 |
| ^mNotIntelligent | Pirate_Hunter, thats coool...keep learning | 09:13 |
| Blizzerand | bambang-pc : Well can you reinstall the whole ubuntu to make sure | 09:14 |
| Justicepsion | Guest3565 : once you've added that, then you need to go to http://keyserver.ubuntu.com:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x3B22AB97AF1CDFA9 and copy everything underneath the title line and paste it into a text file. | 09:14 |
| cyber_666_uk | hey guys, we have Gimp as a great equivalent to Photoshop, do we hae anything on the same level for Flash? | 09:14 |
| Myrtti | cyber_666_uk: the software to make flash? | 09:15 |
| Blizzerand | dyjytyl : System --> Administration --> Users and Groups . There you can give and take powers of each user . | 09:15 |
| dyjytyl | im using terminal | 09:15 |
| cyber_666_uk | yeah for creating flash animations, like adobe flash | 09:15 |
| cabaro | bambang-pc: this is probably related to acpi, updating bios might help | 09:15 |
| Myrtti | cyber_666_uk: none | 09:15 |
| cyber_666_uk | really? | 09:15 |
| cyber_666_uk | shame | 09:15 |
| dyjytyl | Blizzerand: just using terminal | 09:15 |
| Guest3565 | okay then? | 09:15 |
| bambang-pc | oooohhh no... i have too much data.. in my home folder | 09:15 |
| Myrtti | cyber_666_uk: flash is closed, proprietary format | 09:15 |
| Blizzerand | !gnash | cyber_666_uk | 09:16 |
| ubottu | cyber_666_uk: An open source flash replacement. It is still beta software. For current status or for more info http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/ | 09:16 |
| === nick is now known as Guest89608 | ||
| bambang-pc | i was trying to solve this problem one month ago | 09:16 |
| Myrtti | Blizzerand: that's a flash player, not flash creator | 09:16 |
| bambang-pc | yeah, i think thats possible | 09:16 |
| Justicepsion | Guest3565 : then on "Software sources" you need to go to the "Authentication" tab, click "Add," and select the text file you just made. (If you haven't saved it, then save it as something so you can add it.) | 09:17 |
| cyber_666_uk | thx il take a look at that | 09:17 |
| Blizzerand | Myrtti : K , sorry . But I did read somewhere , there is a replacement for flash animation creator in linux.Not sure where though | 09:17 |
| bambang-pc | maybe my acpi isn't supported by ubuntu jaunty... is it possible?? | 09:17 |
| Blizzerand | bambang-pc : I'm not sure | 09:18 |
| cabaro | <bambang-pc> my guess is that you have old bios, that is having issues with acpi | 09:18 |
| zadmalck | hello all | 09:19 |
| Guest3565 | Justice okay done all that and reload and all, then did a sudo apt-get update, so what now? | 09:19 |
| bambang-pc | can i beg a help, if any one solve this problem please send the solvation problem to bambang.adrian@gmail.com | 09:19 |

| shao | hello | 09:29 |
| chris062689 | dyjytyl: Each user has their own configuration file for terminal settings (like color), or are you saying that your own user loses his settings? | 09:29 |
| lstarnes | dyjytyl: their default shell may not have colors enabled by default | 09:29 |
| dyjytyl | chris062689: i dunno.. i just add, and expect it to be the same | 09:30 |

However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL.

| alkisg | IpSe_DiXiT: first, run xrandr in a terminal, and find out how to change modes with that. Then assign your favorite resolution to a gnome shortcut, e.g. alt+ctrl+1 ==> 1280x800. | 10:03 |
| dyjytyl | err | 10:03 |

| Guest53353 | bagy i didnt get you......... | 10:04 |
| alkisg | dyjytyl: google for passwordless ssh. You don't pass the password as a param. | 10:04 |
| IpSe_DiXiT | alkisg: so u think even without closing the application thatz causing the problem i can reassign the resolution i want? | 10:04 |
| ortsvorsteher | dyjytyl: you can generate a ssh key if you like. it could have an empty phrase | 10:04 |

| dyjytyl | thanks | 10:05 |

| llutz | dyjytyl: you cannot pass password because it would be shown plain in processlist, which is a security break | 10:05 |

| alkisg | IpSe_DiXiT: (not alt+ctrl+F1 - I mean the shortcut that you put to change resolution) | 10:07 |

| ubottu | Guest12217: The Instant Messenger Client Pidgin (formerly Gaim) (http://help.ubuntu.com/community/Pidgin) supports MSN, XMPP (Jabber, GTalk and variants), AIM, Gadu-Gadu, Novell Groupwise, ICQ, YIM, IRC and others. See also !Kopete | 10:20 |
| IpSe_DiXiT | Guest12217: if u have an MSN account or an ICQ account u should try to get them connected just to check if ur pidgin works correctly, if it does then the prob is Yahoo, and itz cuz of their servers, not pidgin's fault :D got it??? | 10:21 |
| Guest12217 | why can you not use yahoo messenger in ubuntu???/ | 10:21 |
| alienbrain | Guest12217: Because Yahoo didn't release a compatible version | 10:22 |
| IpSe_DiXiT | Guest12217: im no really sure you understand us when we talk to you, read again what i wrote and try to comprehend, bye | 10:22 |
| moymoy | IpSe_DiXiT: i tried that, but i just didn't want any visible window or icon on my desktop | 10:25 |
| moymoy | any help? | 10:25 |
| moymoy | i start mplayer in tty1 to play some mp3's .. but the audio cuts off when i start into X .. how do i make it persist? | 10:25 |
| IpSe_DiXiT | moymoy: i gotta go, try asking for support on #mplayer | 10:27 |
| Walex | moymoy: what does "audio cuts off when i start into X" mean? | 10:27 |
| IpSe_DiXiT | cu guys ;) | 10:27 |
| alienbrain | moymoy: weird, that doesn't happen here. It works fine regardless of switching to X | 10:27 |
| moymoy | Walex: i was in the terminal when i started mplayer | 10:27 |
| moymoy | alienbrain: hmm can you reproduce it by switching to tty and back to X? | 10:28 |
| Walex | moymoy: which terminal? An X terminal or the basic Linux console? | 10:28 |
| moymoy | alienbrain: which sound system are you using with mplayer? | 10:28 |
| moymoy | Walex: the console | 10:28 |
| alienbrain | moymoy: there is a small cut while I'm switching (about .5 sec), but it works fine | 10:28 |
| alienbrain | moymoy: pulse | 10:29 |
| moymoy | alienbrain: are you playing from the console? or are you playing with a gui app like rhythmbox? | 10:29 |
| Walex | moymoy: perhaps yoru X session starts a sound server, and the sound server get exclusive control of the audio. | 10:29 |
| aaron11 | Helo this is the second time im using ubuntu fourms and had a serious problem i have been told to run sudo apt-get clean and then when i click on the applications menu to start up the terminal there only came a small white box.This was very odd to me because lots and lots of people ran sudo apt-get clean and had no problems. I tried oppening menu editor (acarlate)from the terminal and system... | 10:29 |
| aaron11 | ...--> preferences --> menu editor, but it did not apear. When i ran it from the terminal i got this error: http://pastebin.ca/1572652 i think im missing a python library please see: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7978122#post7978122 | 10:29 |
| lmc | ? | 10:29 |
| Walex | moymoy: or perhaps it does not get exclusive control, but just resets the volume to zero. | 10:29 |
| moymoy | Walex: but i can hear the music again when switching back to the console | 10:29 |
| alienbrain | moymoy: from a console, tty1 :) | 10:29 |
| moymoy | alienbrain: not fair! lol | 10:30 |
| Walex | moymoy: that sounds nearly impossible. | 10:30 |
| moymoy | alienbrain: at this point, i'm desparate enough to reason that it's not working because i'm using it on tty2 | 10:30 |
| installfromparti | how do i install ubuntu directly from a hard drive partition without cd or usb? | 10:30 |
| alienbrain | moymoy: lol :) | 10:30 |
| moymoy | Walex: appearantly it is | 10:30 |
| alienbrain | moymoy: can you try playing it in a screen? (screen command) | 10:31 |
| moymoy | Walex: when i start a session in X, it persists when i switch to a console and back | 10:31 |
| moymoy | Walex: but not the other way around | 10:31 |
| Walex | moymoy: the X server by itself does nothing to the sound system. It can be a sound server, but once started it should not be affected by changes like that. | 10:31 |

| installfromparti | ortsvorsteher: is there a way to boot to ubuntu without grub, usb, or cd? | 10:37 |
| installfromparti | ortsvorsteher: aka without a boot loader or external non-hd media | 10:38 |
| ortsvorsteher | installfromparti: i didnt readed the manual cause it worked for me by installing from cd/usb. so i have no idea sorry ... | 10:38 |
| ortsvorsteher | installfromparti: may it works by installing over the net? | 10:38 |
| installfromparti | ortsvorsteher: ubuntu 9.04 and 9.10 stopped supporting my wireless card, maybe i should try an older version, such as 8.04? | 10:39 |

| installfromparti | lstarnes: wow, thanks | 10:44 |
| lstarnes | installfromparti: there is also the channel #irssi | 10:44 |
| junkbit | Neosano, it's quite a big subject, best start would be to search for your model number on the forums | 10:45 |
| longtime | Hi | 10:45 |
| void_pointer | hehe .. OT .. but it's like first time vim users saying the arrow keys don't work and asking how they can quit ... | 10:45 |
| lstarnes | void_pointer: like vim, irssi has a bit of a learning curve | 10:45 |
| lstarnes | void_pointer: after some time using them, they both become easy to use | 10:46 |
| moymoy | Walex: recorded with mencoder... there was a slight audio delay.. i'm gonna try to get a better recording from cheese while you download | 10:46 |
| void_pointer | lstarnes yep, we all had to start somewhere | 10:46 |
| longtime | Would anyone know of a website where I could do some in depth reading about ssh | 10:46 |
| void_pointer | lstarnes couldn't live without vi keys on the command line myself :) | 10:46 |
| Neosano | junkbit, ubuntuforums? | 10:46 |
| Walex | moymoy: from your video it looks like that it stops when you switch away from the current console, not when it enters X. | 10:47 |
| ortsvorsteher | longtime, may you search the web or you try the manpage from ssh? | 10:47 |
| Walex | moymoy: have you tried another MP3 player like 'mpg123' or 'mpg321'? | 10:48 |
| installfromparti | ortsvorsteher: what is the program to host pxe for ubuntu (found in synaptic)? | 10:48 |
| junkbit | Neosano, yes if you search for your model laptop on ubuntuforums.org or google you may find someone else has had the same problem | 10:48 |
| moymoy | Walex: nope | 10:48 |
| ortsvorsteher | installfromparti, is there nothing described in manual? i never used pxe... :( | 10:49 |
| moymoy | Walex: didn't think it'd matter | 10:49 |
| longtime | Will do ortsvorsteher, Peace! | 10:49 |
| Walex | moymoy: I also just tried the very same here ('mplayer' on console and swtiching to X) and it did not stop. But my setup is somewhat peculiar. | 10:49 |
| installfromparti | ortsvorsteher: the manual lists x programs, i just want one program to setup a server, like thttpd, or something easy | 10:49 |
| Walex | moymoy: conceivably your version of 'mplayer' detects it is no longer the foreground application and pauses until it becomes the foregound application again. | 10:49 |
| ortsvorsteher | installfrompartil, i am really sorry, i never used this way for installing so i have no experience for that... | 10:50 |
| moymoy | Walex: that's clever...... it's TOO clever for its own good | 10:50 |
| Walex | moymoy: no sure, but it could be the case. Some video players do that. | 10:50 |
| Machtin | hi guys.. i tried to make s2api.. what went wrong? http://pastebin.org/18984 | 10:51 |
| moymoy | if i set the command with sleep 2 && in front of it | 10:51 |
| Walex | moymoy: also, can you play *two* MP3s at the same time in the console (e.g. 'mplayer a.mp3& mplayer b.mp3&')? | 10:51 |
| moymoy | Walex: if i set the command with sleep 2 && in front of it and quickly switch to X, i can hear the music.. but once i switch to con and back, it's gone | 10:52 |
| Walex | moymoy: that is really weird. | 10:52 |
| aaron113 | im aaron11 | 10:53 |
| Walex | moymoy: another things to try... | 10:53 |
| alienbrain | moymoy: did you try screen? | 10:53 |
| aaron11 | ok | 10:53 |
| aaron113 | ok | 10:53 |
| Walex | moymoy: do 'ls -l /dev/snd' from the console and then in an X terminal once you have switched. | 10:53 |
| moymoy | alienbrain: i tried screen, it works in that i can start the command while in X and i can hear the music.. but it the sound disappears once i switch to console and back to X | 10:53 |
| moymoy | Walex: it's all owned by root and in the group audio | 10:54 |
| Walex | moymoy: the other possibility is that the ownership of the sound device files changes when in X, if you are logged in with a different user. | 10:54 |
| Walex | moymoy: then the final option... | 10:54 |
| benn | hello everybody | 10:54 |
| alienbrain | moymoy: but if you execute mplayer from inside a screen on tty then detach it and switch to X, what happens? | 10:54 |
| Walex | moymoy: start 'mplayer' like this: 'strace 2> /tmp/mplayer.str mplayer file.mp3' and test again. | 10:55 |
| benn | hmm..where is the list off all the users? | 10:55 |
| moymoy | alienbrain: nothing | 10:55 |
| Walex | moymoy: that will make clear what happens when you switch to X and back (at least on the mplayer side). | 10:55 |
| benn | i have a problem when i compie the kernel | 10:55 |
| Walex | benn: depends which users. | 10:55 |
| benn | sound/sound_core.c: In function ‘sound_insert_unit’: | 10:55 |
| benn | sound/sound_core.c:174: warning: format not a string literal and no format arguments | 10:55 |
| benn | and other error appears | 10:55 |
| benn | most of them with the usb | 10:56 |
| Walex | benn: that's not an error, but a warning. | 10:56 |
| benn | that means that everything is ok? | 10:56 |
| benn | i mean...everything will be ok if i put this compiled kernel? | 10:56 |
| Neosano | junkbit, well, I tried s2ram -f to force suspend and it worked a bit... I was able to see gnome but with lots of errors | 10:57 |

| moymoy | Walex: hmmm it was a fluke.. it doesn't work anymore | 11:21 |
| refugiado | benn have you already compiled and installed the new kernel after patch? | 11:22 |
| benn | refugiado: i`ve just compiled the kernel | 11:22 |

| louigi | if I do not have modules.conf which file do I use? | 11:23 |
| Neosano | Walex, can it be a swap problem? Because I'm using swap file | 11:23 |
| piers | hi guys need help in kubuntu | 11:23 |
| Neosano | piers, just ask | 11:23 |
| kaizener | linux for internet cafes? | 11:23 |
| PerryArmstrong | cgroza; i ran the command | 11:23 |
| Walex | Neosano: it could be that you are overloading the system and it is swapping. | 11:23 |
| piers | Neosano, Private chat? | 11:24 |
| Neosano | piers, no, here :] | 11:24 |
| Walex | Neosano: the other suggestion is to run 'vmstat 1' in an X terminal window and check what happens when the system slow down. | 11:24 |
| moymoy | Walex: it's not mplayer specific.. it happens for mpg123 also | 11:24 |
| louigi | if I do not have etc/modules.conf which file do I use? can I use etc/modules ? | 11:24 |
| ctx144k | meshuggah, do u using kubuntu or ubuntu? | 11:24 |
| n-iCe | hi | 11:24 |
| cgroza__ | hello ,why every time i right click the menu shows up and then goes away? | 11:24 |
| piers | Neosano, ok have kubuntu and accidentally deleted network manager now cant connect to any network | 11:25 |
| meshuggah | ctx144k, ubuntu with e17 | 11:25 |
| Neosano | Walex, I'm sorry, what are you talking about? :D I'm trying to suspend! It suspends fine, but when I go back it shows some errors | 11:25 |
| Walex | Neosano: also if the system slows down when you do lots of IO (like copying files) that's expected and there are workarounds. | 11:25 |
| cgroza__ | its not my mouse in windows every thing works fine | 11:25 |
| Walex | Neosano: sorry confused you with the guy whose system freezes occasionally. | 11:25 |
| ctx144k | perhapos u should switch one time to "gnome" | 11:25 |
| Neosano | Walex, when hibernating it just shows these EXT3 errors and I have to reboot | 11:25 |
| piers | gnome works almost perfectly | 11:25 |
| Walex | Neosano: plenty of systems have difficulty with suspend-to-disk. Most however work with suspend-to-ram. | 11:26 |
| ctx144k | there ull find in Admin-Menu a programm "Hardware-Driver" | 11:26 |
| barry | Hi. Can I improve performance of flash player especially in fullscreen? My hardware is old but flash player works fine in XP in VMware on ubuntu. | 11:26 |
| Neosano | Walex, Ubuntu is just freshly installed | 11:26 |
| ctx144k | with that u can install ur drivers in ome seconds | 11:26 |
| Walex | Neosano: it all depends on the BIOS of your system and the specific drivers. | 11:26 |
| piers | Neosano, do update 1st fixed most of my probs | 11:26 |
| hanshenrik | installed ubuntu (with Wubi from WinXP), and i got 2x NTFS drives, C: (where XP is installed), and F: (where i backup stuff), i found F: and could mount it from "Computer" with no problem, but i cant find C: drive.. (both are NTFS), any ideas? | 11:26 |
| Neosano | piers, I'm newbie in linux :) Don't ask me :( | 11:26 |
| louigi | if I do not have etc/modules.conf which file do I use? can I use etc/modules ? guys? =) | 11:27 |
| louigi | anyone? =) | 11:27 |
| piers | Neosano, ok | 11:27 |
| Walex | moymoy: still looking at the 'strace'. But try another thing: stop the Pulse server and check whether it still happens. Also, I have 'strace'd my 'mplayer' and it does not use Pulse or messagebus... | 11:27 |
| meshuggah | ctx144k, i tried it and it screw up ubuntu so bad i needed to deleted the xorg.conf if not it bugged and jammed | 11:27 |
| Neosano | hanshenrik, try places/* gb media | 11:27 |
| piers | any1 know how to delete a partition using gnome | 11:27 |
| moymoy | hanshenrik: you can't see the C: drive in ubuntu because ubuntu IS running off of that drive.. to be able to see everything, you'll need to do a proper install of ubuntu | 11:27 |
| Walex | louigi: check '/etc/modprobe.conf' and similar. There are two version of the module utils, and use different files. | 11:27 |
| harisund | By the way walex, apparently it's a Ubuntu issue, so I doubt anyone here would know anyway so don't worry, thanks | 11:27 |
| cgroza__ | hello ,why every time i right click the menu shows up and then goes away? | 11:27 |
| cgroza__ | hello ,why every time i right click the menu shows up and then goes away? | 11:27 |
| cgroza__ | its not my mouse in windows every thing works fine | 11:28 |
| ctx144k | meshuggah, then u have to define right screen-resolutions in xorg.conf | 11:28 |
| piers | cgroza__, stop sayin stuff 2wice | 11:28 |
| meshuggah | ctx144k, how | 11:28 |
| moymoy | Walex: how do i stop it? when i `sudo service pulseaudio stop` it just starts up again | 11:28 |
| louigi | Walex: no file like that | 11:28 |
| Neosano | Walex, well, there's almost no options in my BIOS unfortunately. How can I try suspend to ram and suspend to disk? Which one is the default? | 11:28 |
| Walex | louigi: '/etc/modprobe.d/' then | 11:28 |
| meshuggah | ctx144k, btw it chose the 96 version when it was said the 71 one was the good one for my geforce4 | 11:29 |
| piers | any1 linux advanced user? | 11:29 |
| piers | \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ | 11:29 |
| piers | soz | 11:29 |
| Walex | Neosano: it is not an option in the BIOS; it is how buggy the BIOS is. | 11:29 |
| junkbit | piers, install gparted then look in System→Admin→Partition Editor menu | 11:29 |
| Walex | Neosano: suspend to ram is "standby" and suspend to disk is "hibernate". | 11:29 |
| louigi | Walex: no files like that at all. the only file starting with "mod" is modules | 11:29 |
| louigi | Walex: I have Ubuntu 9.04 | 11:29 |
| junkbit | piers, gparted is like free Partition Magic | 11:30 |
| piers | junkbit, thanks but the partition I want to delete has kubuntu on it | 11:30 |
| junkbit | piers, you can do it from the liveCD | 11:30 |
| piers | junkbit, private chat? | 11:30 |
| piers | junkbit, do wot | 11:30 |
| Neosano | Walex, OH, that's it.. both are not working :] | 11:30 |
| hanshenrik | moymoy: sure its running on C: ? (cus i specified 20 GB for ubuntu in wubi, and my C: drives total capasity dropped by 20 gb :o) | 11:30 |
| Neosano | Walex, in windows they're working | 11:31 |
| junkbit | piers, if you boot the liveCD you can run gparted, it might be called kparted on kubuntu | 11:31 |
| ctx144k | meshuggah, u have to look in googlem, there ull find the options for xorg.conf: for example Modes 1024x768 | 11:31 |
| Neosano | Walex, I've tried sudo s2ram -f which WORKED! I saw desktop and things, but everything was broken! | 11:32 |
| moymoy | hanshenrik: yup, i'm sure.. because the wubi installer happens in windows and doesn't need a reboot.. so your Ubuntu is actually running on a virtual environment within your windows filesystem (i think that's how it is) | 11:32 |
| n-iCe | is there any way to stabilize my wireless connection, the signal strenght changes a lot | 11:32 |
| meshuggah | ctx144k, ok tyhank | 11:32 |
| Walex | Neosano: then it is some incompatible video driver. However try 'xrefresh' in a terminal. | 11:32 |
| Neosano | Walex s2disk doesn't work as far as I remember :] | 11:32 |
| Neosano | Walex, Walex, terminal is broken too - showing some stupid random errors when I'm trying to do something | 11:33 |
| ctx144k | meshuggah, but - i had no problems with my xorg.conf after installing via ubuntu-menue | 11:33 |
| Walex | Neosano: sounds like bad news for your system. | 11:33 |
| meshuggah | ctx144k, i didnt got before, and not in debian too | 11:33 |
| moymoy | Neosano: CTRL+C it | 11:33 |
| hanshenrik | moymoy: oki :p think ill go use yet an other cd (about to run out! :p) | 11:33 |
| Walex | moymoy: still looking at your strace | 11:33 |
| meshuggah | but now i got problem | 11:33 |
| meshuggah | thank for your help ctx144k | 11:34 |
| Neosano | Walex, after rebooting everything is ok of course | 11:34 |
| moymoy | hanshenrik: why can't you use the same CD? | 11:34 |
| Neosano | Ok I'll try to do something | 11:34 |
| ctx144k | no problem | 11:34 |
| Neosano | brb | 11:34 |
| piers | junkbit, can i delete the kubuntu partition without trashing my gnome partition | 11:34 |
| moymoy | Walex: thanks for sticking with my case.. which has proved itself incredibly time-consuming.. and i'm also straining your eye D; | 11:35 |
| Neosano | omg | 11:35 |
| Neosano | Soo | 11:35 |
| Neosano | Walex, just went out of suspend.. errr | 11:35 |
| moymoy | Neosano: does anything work? | 11:35 |
| louigi | Walex: seems like nothing like that - no modprobe no modules.conf.... what do I do? | 11:36 |
| Neosano | Walex, XChat is working fine(that's why I'm here) | 11:36 |
| Neosano | Walex, terminal doesn't work | 11:36 |
| Neosano | root@lilu:~# xrefresh | 11:36 |
| Neosano | bash: /usr/bin/xrefresh: No such file or directory | 11:36 |
| moymoy | Neosano: what does `cat /sys/power/state` say? | 11:36 |
| junkbit | piers, did you install both ubuntu and kubuntu side by side? then yes you can delete kubuntu and resize ubuntu to use the free space | 11:36 |
| piers | guys can i delete my Kubuntu partition without trashing the Grub and messing up the startup | 11:36 |
| Neosano | root@lilu:~# cat /sys/power/state | 11:36 |
| Neosano | bash: cat: command not found | 11:36 |
| louigi | Walex: I found modprobe.d through CLI interface! | 11:36 |
| cgroza__ | piers,i dont think so | 11:36 |
| louigi | Walex: so is it the right file? | 11:37 |
| Walex | louigi: 'man modprobe.conf' | 11:37 |
| moymoy | Neosano: seems like your paths are messed up | 11:37 |
| piers | how do I instal Grub again after deleting it | 11:37 |
| Neosano | moymoy, haha, yea :) | 11:37 |
| Neosano | moymoy, any chance to fix them? Or maybe some extra parameters for s2ram ? | 11:37 |
| cgroza__ | piers,grub installs itself once with the OS | 11:37 |
| moymoy | Neosano: show the output of `/bin/echo $PATH` | 11:37 |
| moymoy | Neosano: i dont' use s2ram | 11:38 |
| piers | cgroza__, private chat? | 11:38 |
| Neosano | moymoy, but I used it to get atleast SOMETHING work | 11:38 |
| Neosano | moymoy, how can I do it? | 11:38 |
| moymoy | Neosano: i have a minimum install, so i tell the kernel to suspend myself | 11:38 |
| moymoy | Neosano: show me `/bin/echo $PATH` first | 11:39 |
| louigi | Walex: I needed modules.conf to add some soundcard aliases. in modprobe directory I have several files. should I use alsa-base to add the lines? | 11:39 |
| Neosano | moymoy, how can I do it? | 11:39 |
| Neosano | err | 11:40 |
| moymoy | Neosano: copy and paste it | 11:40 |
| Neosano | moymoy, in terminal? | 11:40 |
| moymoy | Neosano: show me the output of that command i sent earlier | 11:40 |
| Walex | moymoy: I think it is something related to the Pulse server. | 11:40 |
| Neosano | moymoy, I can't open terminal :) | 11:40 |
| moymoy | Neosano: yeah in terminal | 11:40 |
| Maelos` | Can someone explain the technical difference between the -virtual and standard -server kernel? | 11:41 |
| moymoy | Neosano: then how did you get the "command not found" ? | 11:41 |
| moymoy | Walex: what's your theory? | 11:41 |
| Maelos` | Looks like -server is already running 100HZ tickless so what else is different? | 11:41 |
| Neosano | moymoy, Really everything just dissapeared except my xchat active window | 11:41 |
| Neosano | moymoy, So I'll reboot now :) | 11:42 |
| Neosano | brb | 11:42 |
| moymoy | Neosano: can you press ALT+F2? | 11:42 |
| Neosano | nope, can't | 11:42 |
| cgroza__ | Neosano:since when do you have this problem? | 11:42 |
| Walex | moymoy: for some reason the Pulse server suspend playing audio from the console when the X session is active, and viceversa. | 11:42 |
| Neosano | cgroza__, after s2ram -f | 11:42 |
| louigi | Walex: all I found was modprobe.d but not modprobe.conf! | 11:42 |
| cgroza__ | Neosano:REINSTALL.... that is what i wold do | 11:42 |
| Walex | louigi: is that wrong? | 11:42 |
| louigi | Walex: so it is a directory but it contains some other files | 11:42 |
| Neosano | cgroza__ reboot helps, I'm trying to make suspend work | 11:43 |
| Neosano | so Ill reboot now | 11:43 |
| Neosano | brb | 11:43 |
| Walex | louigi: have you tried a web search? | 11:43 |
| louigi | louigi: I need to add some lines to modules.conf - so it says in my soundcard driver installation instructions | 11:43 |
| louigi | Wales: sure, a lot | 11:43 |
| louigi | Walex: searched a lot and decided to try here | 11:43 |
| Pirate_Hunter | do cluster have to be the same as in specs/make/etc or can they differ? | 11:43 |
| moymoy | Walex: seems i did a pretty bad job installing ubuntu.. nobody else seems to have this problem | 11:43 |
| === mama_ is now known as jmeng | ||
| Neosano | okay I'm back | 11:45 |
| jmeng | hey there, I'm currently trying to get the tun driver to create the /dev/net/tun device with certain user privileges using a udev rules file. Now when I manually modprobe tun, this works great. However, on boot, the tun file is created as root:root with no permissions. Any idea on why that happens? | 11:46 |
| tamam | hi | 11:46 |
| moymoy | Neosano: welcome back.. is your terminal working? | 11:47 |
| Neosano | moymoy, everything is working after rebooting - it's ok | 11:47 |
| moymoy | Neosano: okay, do this `cat /sys/power/state` and tell what it says | 11:47 |
| Neosano | alex@lilu:~$ cat /sys/power/state | 11:48 |
| Neosano | mem disk | 11:48 |
| moymoy | Neosano: okay.. this is what i do to suspend.. i don't know if it'll work for you | 11:48 |
| Walex | moymoy: it is not a problem -- looks like a feature. | 11:48 |
| Neosano | moymoy, lets try :] | 11:48 |
| moymoy | Neosano: first get root privelages with `sudo -s` | 11:49 |
| Neosano | ok :) | 11:49 |
| moymoy | Neosano: then do this `echo mem > /sys/power/state` | 11:49 |
| moymoy | Walex: any idea how to configure pulse? | 11:50 |
| Pinchiukas | Ok, how do I make the S3 chrome work? I'm using the openchrome driver, but I still see trash in xorg. | 11:51 |
| qdb | in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1117283 is said that i can enable mp3 encoding with sudo apt-get install ffmpeg libavcodec-unstripped-51 but ffmpeg is compiled without mp3 and do not work? ffmpeg is installed separately already | 11:51 |
| Walex | moymoy: try to run 'mplayer' with '-ao alsa:device=default' and see if it still stops. | 11:52 |
| Neosano | moymoy, I'll try to explain what happened.. | 11:53 |
| moymoy | Walex: audio doesn't persist.. not even with alsa | 11:53 |
| Neosano | er.. It suspended... and when I pressed the power button to get back I saw a blank screen with binking cursos | 11:54 |
| === bluebottle is now known as Guest79535 | ||
| Neosano | cursor* | 11:54 |
| Walex | moymoy: that is very peculiar or else it does not really use ALSA. | 11:54 |
| Neosano | and nothing else.. just blank screen with binking cursor | 11:54 |
| Neosano | Some time later I pressed power button to shut it down | 11:54 |
| Neosano | and it said | 11:54 |
| Neosano | login lilu blablabla | 11:55 |
| Neosano | I wrote my username | 11:55 |
| moymoy | Neosano: hmm that shouldn't happen.. what kernel version are you using? `uname -r` | 11:55 |
| Neosano | and it showed some kind of EXT3-fs error | 11:55 |
| mati | hi | 11:55 |
| moymoy | Neosano: you were told to log in after you pressed the powerbutton? | 11:55 |
| Neosano | Yes, well, yeah, in that shitty console | 11:56 |
| Neosano | but after I wrote my login name it showed up some errors | 11:56 |
| Neosano | 2.6.28-15-generic | 11:56 |
| moymoy | Neosano: hmm.. i have the 2.6.31 kernel.. suspend/hibernate never worked for me in the previous kernels... i was just hoping it'd work for your computer | 11:57 |
| Neosano | moymoy, lol, maybe I have to get 2.6.31? :D | 11:57 |
| moymoy | Neosano: i'd prefer another route | 11:58 |
| moymoy | Neosano: compiling your own kernel can take a long time | 11:58 |
| Neosano | :D | 11:58 |
| Pinchiukas | Ok, how do I make the S3 chrome work? I'm using the openchrome driver, but I still see trash in xorg. | 11:58 |
| moymoy | Neosano: and your kernel might not even work, that means you have to reconfigure it and compile again... more time wasted D; | 11:59 |
| Neosano | moymoy, doesn't sound good :-\ | 11:59 |
| Neosano | moymoy, so, maybe there's another way to fix it? I googled a lot and nothing | 11:59 |
| SharpRain | How do I get windows to stack | 12:00 |
| moymoy | Neosano: hmm i found some deb packages for the latest kernel, maybe you can give 'em a try | 12:00 |
| Neosano | moymoy, why not | 12:01 |
| moymoy | Neosano: first tell me `uname -m` | 12:01 |
| Neosano | i686 | 12:01 |
| moymoy | Neosano: okay | 12:01 |
| Neosano | moymoy, strange that there's any problem with it on linux, but no problem in windows :) | 12:02 |
| Neosano | -any | 12:02 |

| SharpRain | Hello>? | 12:02 |
| moymoy | Neosano: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.31/linux-headers-2.6.31-020631-generic_2.6.31-020631_i386.deb | 12:02 |
| sarthorks | i uninstalled my ubuntu-desktop package y mistake. now i can't use my computer. i can log-in. but nothing shows up, and i can't do anything. how can i install ubuntu-desktop again? | 12:02 |
| Walex | Neosano: MS-windows suspend usually has drivers custom-hacked by the manufacturer to work around the bugs in the BIOS and the specific devices. | 12:02 |
| moymoy | Neosano: those two are the linux image and the linux-headers | 12:03 |
| Neosano | moymoy, I must get both? | 12:03 |
| moymoy | Neosano: you'll need the header files if you ever need to install anything that involves compiling a module or whatever | 12:03 |
| Neosano | moymoy, okay, downloaded :] | 12:04 |
| moymoy | Neosano: fire away!! .. your computer's been through a lot today =p ... so has mine.. been installing Arch earlier today | 12:05 |
| Walex | moymoy: your 'mplayer' first tries to use OSS output, but the device is busy, so it open a connection to the Pulse daemon. All audio is via the Pulse daemon. So it is definitely a Pulse issue. | 12:06 |
| moymoy | Walex: do you know how i can configure pulse? | 12:07 |
| Walex | moymoy: it is likely that the Pulse daemon suspends non-foreground sessions. I'd play around with the commands in 'man pactl' | 12:07 |
| Neosano | moymoy really I'm trying to make it work from yesterday :D | 12:07 |
| treadstone | i cant get ubuntu to take up my entire screen | 12:08 |
| treadstone | can anyone help | 12:09 |
| Walex | moymoy: I am not really familiar with Pulse, I don't use it. | 12:09 |
| moymoy | Walex: are you an alsa user? | 12:09 |
| Walex | moymoy: yes, but Pulse anyhow uses ALSA. | 12:09 |
| Neosano | moymoy, so what I'm going to do with these files? :-] | 12:09 |
| treadstone | can anyone tell me how to get ubuntu to fit my entire screen? | 12:10 |
| Neosano | lets brake my ubuntu! :DDD | 12:10 |
| moymoy | Neosano: you can just click and open them and Gdebi should handle it.. or you can do it through the terminal | 12:10 |
| treadstone | i have a 2 inch band around the entire screen | 12:10 |
| sarthorks | i uninstalled my ubuntu-desktop package y mistake. now i can't use my computer. i can log-in. but nothing shows up, and i can't do anything. how can i install ubuntu-desktop again? | 12:10 |
| Neosano | moymoy, which one? Header or image? | 12:10 |
| SharpRain | How do I get windows to stack?! | 12:11 |
| Walex | sarthorks: login to a console (C-A-F1) and 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop' | 12:11 |
| ortsvorsteher | sarthorks: try sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 12:11 |
| treadstone | lol Am I invisible | 12:11 |
| Neosano | treadstone you're not :] | 12:12 |
| treadstone | lol | 12:12 |
| sarthorks | walex , ortsvorsteher - i can do that only if i am connected through my wifi. but when i go to recovery mode eg, i am not connected to the net, so i cant download the package. | 12:12 |
| moymoy | Neosano: both | 12:12 |
| treadstone | How can i get Ubuntu to fill my entire screen | 12:13 |
| Walex | t | 12:13 |
| Walex | treadstone: reconfigure the X server | 12:13 |
| Syrioth | anyone here using ndiswrapper for their wireless ??? | 12:13 |
| treadstone | Wales can you tell me how to do that in terminal perhaps | 12:14 |
| Neosano | moymoy, err :D :D It says Same version is already installed! | 12:14 |
| Neosano | moymoy a no | 12:15 |
| Neosano | moymoy I'm a lier :] | 12:15 |
| Neosano | it doesn't.. | 12:15 |
| Walex | treadstone: lots of HOWTOs out there. e.g. http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/ubuntu-linux-how-to-reconfigure-x-windows-system-xorg-server/ | 12:15 |
| treadstone | The whole story how I ended up here is hilarious | 12:15 |
| Syrioth | treadstone : do tell | 12:15 |
| treadstone | My Grandma installed IE8 on her ancient PC | 12:15 |
| Neosano | moymoy , when trying to install header it says Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: linux-headers-2.6.31-020631 | 12:16 |
| treadstone | then uninstalled it | 12:16 |
| MarcoPau | hello, I get fail at starting mysql database server mysqld when booting ubuntu jaunty. do you have any hint? | 12:16 |
| Syrioth | lol | 12:16 |
| treadstone | her windows that had been working for YEARS would do nothing | 12:16 |
| Walex | treadstone: and this is semi-official: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/Resolution | 12:16 |
| treadstone | I had to access firefox from taskmanager | 12:16 |
| treadstone | the use Wubi to install Ubuntu | 12:16 |
| Syrioth | tht sounds like a little bit of a pain | 12:17 |
| treadstone | yes | 12:17 |
| treadstone | and now it only takes up about 75% of the screen | 12:17 |
| sarthorks | walex : i can do that only if i am connected through my wifi. but when i go to recovery mode eg, i am not connected to the net, so i cant download the package. how should i do connect to a wifi network from the terminal in the recovery mode? | 12:17 |
| Syrioth | i just managed to convince my mate to dual boot ubuntu | 12:17 |
| moymoy | Neosano: hmm... that's possibly because that's a deb for Karmic.. =\ | 12:18 |
| Walex | sarthorks: already told you: C-A-F1 i normal mode to login to the console. | 12:18 |
| treadstone | i want to just fill the entire partition with ubuntu but I dont want to do that if the screen stays like this | 12:18 |
| Syrioth | bye all :) | 12:18 |
| moymoy | Neosano: does the linux-image install fine though? | 12:18 |
| Neosano | moymoy, yea | 12:18 |
| sarthorks | walex : you mean i should press the key 'C' and then press 'A' and then press F1 key, sequentially? | 12:19 |
| moymoy | Neosano: then you're fine.. i only ever needed linux-headers for 2 things anyway.. you can get rid of that then.. reboot into your new kernel | 12:19 |
| Walex | sarthorks: Control-Alt-F1 | 12:19 |
| Neosano | moymoy :) Hmm, sounds easy | 12:19 |
| sarthorks | walex - damn, stupid me! ok thanks | 12:19 |
| moymoy | Neosano: and incase your new kernel doesn't work, remember you can choose your old kernel from the grub list (you may have to press Esc while grub loads) | 12:20 |
| Walex | moymoy: http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/CLI | 12:20 |
| Neosano | I'm back :D | 12:22 |
| captine | hi all. quick question. ubuntu desktop 9.04 is not detecting my syncmaster lcd screen. installed nvidia proprietary drivers, thinking it would improve resolution etc. looks pretty bad now? | 12:22 |
| captine | anyone had a problem like this? | 12:22 |
| captine | pics it up as CRT-0 | 12:22 |
| Neosano | moymoy, What now? I'll just try suspend? | 12:22 |
| Neosano | moymoy, or your method? | 12:23 |
| chess__ | hi, I have this nas and want to connect my netbook, So I do smb:\\192.168.2.249 but says it doesn't exists. | 12:23 |
| captine | must i edit xorg.conf directly? | 12:23 |
| moymoy | Neosano: oh yes.. sorry | 12:23 |
| moymoy | Neosano: `sudo -s` to get root privelages | 12:24 |
| moymoy | Neosano: wait.. first i have to make sure what your sys says .. do `echo /sys/power/state` | 12:24 |
| Neosano | moymoy, Well of course, what then? | 12:24 |
| pente | test | 12:24 |
| Neosano | root@lilu:~# echo /sys/power/state | 12:25 |
| Neosano | er | 12:25 |
| Neosano | sry | 12:25 |
| grawity | pente: test passed, do you need any help? | 12:25 |
| Neosano | kt | 12:25 |
| Neosano | it just says /sys/power/state | 12:25 |
| moymoy | Neosano: lol something's wrong with me... i meant `cat` not echo | 12:25 |
| moymoy | Neosano: bye the way, it's 6:25 AM and i haven't slept D; | 12:25 |
| Walex | moymoy: also check for your issue the ConsoleKit config. http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/ConsoleKit | 12:26 |
| moymoy | Neosano: do `cat /sys/power/state` sorry | 12:26 |
| Neosano | moymoy same, says mem disk | 12:26 |
| chess__ | anyone knows why I get "directory doesn't exists" when I want to access my nas? smb:\\192.168.2.249 | 12:26 |
| moymoy | Neosano: okay `echo mem > /sys/power/state` | 12:26 |
| Walex | moymoy: because Pulse uses the ConsoleKit if the module is loaded. | 12:26 |
| Walex | chess__: yes. | 12:26 |
| grawity | chess__: Probably because it's smb:// | 12:26 |
| moymoy | Walex: apparently, if i use the sound server in my X session, i'll start hearing audio from mplayer again | 12:26 |
| m1dlg | I'm about to perform a new install of Ubuntu, should I install a fresh copy of 9.04 or is it worth waiting for 9.10 (how long till it's due out?) | 12:27 |
| chess__ | No it isn't, its the same | 12:27 |
| moymoy | Walex: like if i use aplay when i'm back in X .. audio starts playing again | 12:27 |
| chess__ | same error | 12:27 |
| Walex | moymoy: ahhhh. That means that 'mplayer' connects to the sound server, and if you disable the sound server in X, well, it is disabled. | 12:27 |
| Neosano | moymoy argh!!! | 12:27 |
| Neosano | moymoy well | 12:28 |
| Neosano | moymoy I'm back.. errrr.. | 12:28 |
| moymoy | Walex: why would the sound server be disabled in X? | 12:28 |
| moymoy | Neosano: how was the journey? | 12:28 |
| Neosano | moymoy it was in the same way as s2ram | 12:28 |
| Neosano | moymoy, everything is screwed.. | 12:28 |
| MenZa | m1dlg: You can upgrade to 9.10 once it's out. | 12:28 |
| mrwes | m1dlg, go with 9.04, you can always upgrade later | 12:28 |
| Neosano | moymoy, no icons, terminal says shit on commands :) | 12:29 |
| moymoy | Neosano: =\ no idea what's wrong.... and it's strange how xchat is immune to all these errors | 12:29 |
| Walex | moymoy: because you disabled it? | 12:29 |
| Neosano | moymoy, I guess firefox works too | 12:29 |
| Neosano | moymoy, interesting thing - I can't get to any folders | 12:29 |
| moymoy | Walex: but my apps connect to pulseaudio when i'm in X too | 12:30 |
| Neosano | moymoy if I try for example places/home folder | 12:30 |
| Neosano | moymoy my task bars will disapear :D :D :D | 12:30 |
| captine | anyone here have a monitor problem? not detected and incorrectly setup with X? | 12:30 |
| Walex | moymoy: but you just said "if i use the sound server in my X session, i'll start hearing audio from mplayer" | 12:30 |
| mrwes | !enter Neosano | 12:30 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about enter Neosano | 12:30 |
| mrwes | er | 12:30 |
| mrwes | !Enter | 12:30 |
| ubottu | Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 12:30 |
| Neosano | mrwes mhh? | 12:31 |
| Walex | moymoy: this may be relevant: http://people.freedesktop.org/~mccann/doc/ConsoleKit/ConsoleKit.html#id2565344 | 12:31 |
| Neosano | moymoy, I guess it works, but what happens with the whole system? :D | 12:31 |
| mrwes | Neosano, when you put a few words on each line and use the enter key, it makes it difficult to follow your thread | 12:31 |
| Neosano | mrwes, I'm sorry | 12:32 |
| Walex | moymoy: BTW I dislike that thing -- it introduces new complicate concepts in a UNIX environment which are opaquely used by random apps. | 12:32 |
| sarthorks | walex : i tried C-A-F1. but as i said, it cannot download the package as i am not connected to the internet . how should i connect to the net from the terminal? | 12:32 |
| m1dlg | MenZa, mrwes, OK shall do, I have to redownload it first (thank god for BT and 22Mb BB) | 12:33 |
| Walex | sarthorks: but you don't need to boot in "safe mode" or anything equivalent. | 12:33 |
| Neosano | reboot :) | 12:33 |
| mrwes | m1dlg, yes, it's best to get the iso from a torrent, the hash checking usually ensures you have a good iso file | 12:33 |
| moymoy | Walex: hmm =\ i'll disable pulse audio as a service and try rebooting and see if it works | 12:33 |
| moymoy | Walex: too much reading for this late night | 12:33 |
| Walex | sarthorks: if your problem is that you cannot connect to the Internet, bad news. Anyhow you can use he original installation disk to install just that group of packages. | 12:34 |
| moymoy | Walex: morning now.. sun's up | 12:34 |
| sarthorks | walex: yes, thats what i was thinking. oh so you can;t connect from the terminal?? | 12:34 |
| m1dlg | mrwes, I did an upgrade to the install I have now when the first release of 9.04 came out and it stuff the machine up until some cool guys here fixed it - the whole thing was trashed | 12:34 |
| Walex | sarthorks: whether it is the console or an X terminal or application does not matter -- if the system is configured for networking, it will work either way. network connection is a property of the system, not of the way you use it. | 12:35 |
| danimus | hi | 12:35 |
| sarthorks | walex, so how do i configure my system to connect to the net? | 12:36 |
| mrwes | m1dlg, some people prefer to do a fresh install everytime, I've done both with success. Having a separate /home partition certainly makes that a lot easier | 12:36 |
| Walex | sarthorks: same way you configured it beforehand... | 12:36 |
| === ben is now known as Guest74905 | ||
| Walex | sarthorks: didn't you say that you have a working networked configuration, but you are just not using it? | 12:37 |
| Neosano | Walex, EXT3-fs errors are saying something about sda2 directory offset | 12:37 |
| Neosano | Walex, maybe it's because I have windows installed on another ntfs partition? | 12:37 |
| Keiffer | I am using rtorrent on a machine with multiple users and I want to make it independent on witch user is logged in. And to work if no user is logged in at all. Any help? pls | 12:37 |
| Walex | Neosano: very bad news. Looks like the disk did not restart, or you have bad issues in your filesystem | 12:37 |
| Noodle93 | Good evening. | 12:37 |
| Noodle93 | I'm having a bit of trouble with 9.04 | 12:38 |
| Neosano | Walex, bad news? Not Really.. after reboot everything is just fine! What's wrong with the suspend? | 12:38 |
| === andi is now known as Guest43744 | ||
| Noodle93 | I've installed a new 500gb Seagate SATA hd. | 12:38 |
| === Guest43744 is now known as devi_cay | ||
| sarthorks | walex, so i did not have to configure or anything. net works fine on my system. i am on the same system, only on jaunty live usb right now, so that i can connect to IRC. when i plug out my live usb and try booting to the HD (which has hardy loaded) i don;t think i am connected. i need to enter username and password to connect to the net, but since ubuntu-dekstop is uninstalled, i can't do anything. | 12:38 |
| mrwes | Keiffer, I run rtorrent with a root cron @reboot | 12:38 |
| m1dlg | mrwes, Ta, I have a seperate /home but perhaps I had some faulty files on the last. I'm off to DL it all. L8rs | 12:38 |
| mrwes | Keiffer, @reboot /usr/bin/screen -dmS rtorrent /usr/local/bin/rtorrent | 12:39 |
| Noodle93 | And I've somehow managed to install 9.04 on the hd, but then it freezes most of the time on boot (I've managed to boot normally once). I'm also getting error number 19. When I boot off a CD, it fails 50/50 and if I do manage to get in, and I try to mount the hd, it freezes. | 12:39 |
| Keiffer | mrwes, please, can you be more specific? I don't know how to run a cron command as a sudo /root | 12:40 |
| Walex | sarthorks: you can use all commad line tols. Anyhow the issue seems to be that you use WiFi, your WiFi setup requires login, and you are only familiar with the GUI way to login to your WiFi AP. | 12:40 |
| Noodle93 | It also flashes pretty fast, but there something about too many usb ports. | 12:40 |
| Walex | sarthorks: you could do many other things, like 'chroot' from your liveCD to your ondisk Ubuntu install. | 12:40 |
| Keiffer | mrwes, that's the command for cron? | 12:41 |
| sarthorks | walex, exactly. can you give me a detailed description of what i have to do? i am pretty new to ubuntu | 12:41 |
| mrwes | Keiffer, hrmm...I'm not sure each user would be able to reattach to a screen session that root started | 12:41 |
| Noodle93 | Any suggestions for my problem? | 12:41 |
| Walex | sarthorks: the basic problem is that if you are only familiar with the GUI way, and you delete the whole GUI thing, it is pretty hard to tell you step by step how to use the command line to reinstall the GUI, if you also rely on NetworkManager for wifi config. | 12:42 |
| Neosano | Walex, probably after suspend linux is trying to get files on another partition, what can be wrong? Maybe because both partitions are primary? | 12:42 |
| === andi_ is now known as devi_cay | ||
| mrwes | Keiffer, I run transmission-cli and that runs as user transmission and I then use the web interface to add torrents | 12:42 |
| sarthorks | walex, ok so you suggest i grab a live CD and install ubuntu-desktop from it? | 12:42 |
| === jean-paul is now known as www2 | ||
| Walex | sarthorks: so for now the best advice I can give is to continue using the LiveUSB version, mount your old root partition on th hard disk, 'chroot' into it and run 'apt-get install ubuntu-desktop' | 12:43 |
| mrwes | Keiffer, http://trac.transmissionbt.com/wiki/Scripts | 12:43 |
| sarthorks | walex, can you explain what you mean by "chroot" into the hard disk? | 12:44 |
| Walex | sarthorks: another way would be to run the original installation CD in upgrade, not reinstall mode. | 12:44 |
| mrwes | Keiffer, this might help for rtorrent: http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/ | 12:44 |
| Keiffer | mrwes, thank you | 12:44 |
| Neosano | Walex I guess you're busy now, but would making this partition logical help or no? | 12:45 |
| Walex | sarthorks: suppose that your root device gets mounted as '/media/sda1', just do 'chroot /media/sda1' | 12:45 |
| mrwes | Keiffer, I used to run rtorrent, but as of late I started using transmission-cli | 12:45 |
| sarthorks | walex, that would be a nice possibility, thanks. thanks for chroot method. so once i chroot into it, i use sudo apt-get line? | 12:45 |
| Walex | Neosano: most likely the problem is that your BIOS ACPI code is buggy and/or not compatible with the Linux S2RAM subsystem. | 12:45 |
| benn | need help with grub edit | 12:45 |
| SharpRain | How do I get windows to stack? | 12:45 |
| Walex | Neosano: many systems do not work with S2RAM under linux because their firmware cannot properly save or restore status | 12:46 |
| Duesentrieb | hi all - is it possible to install ubuntu from ubuntu? i.e. install a new version on another partition, from a running ubuntu? | 12:46 |
| Walex | SharpRain: what does that mean? | 12:46 |
| Walex | Duesentrieb: yes. | 12:46 |
| SharpRain | like instead of 3 firefox windows | 12:46 |
| SharpRain | they all go in one slot | 12:46 |
| SharpRain | and when you click it | 12:46 |
| sarthorks | walex, but im on jaunty right now, while my Hd has hardy. that wouldn't interfere if i run sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop once i have chroot-ed into it? | 12:46 |
| SharpRain | you can select | 12:46 |
| Duesentrieb | Walex: nice :) got a link to a howto? | 12:46 |
| FloodBot2 | SharpRain: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 12:46 |
| SharpRain | like In windows | 12:46 |
| Neosano | Walex, but after suspend I resume back and I can see my desktop, but something wrong with filesystem! | 12:46 |
| Aijse | Any body knows of a good site to get me started with Apache? can't get my domainname to work, connecting from local network with ip works fine. lot's of variables are a bit spooky to me and my Ubuntu book is prety vague about it aswell so some good documentation might be needed for me | 12:46 |
| Duesentrieb | Aijse: did you try apaches online manualß | 12:47 |
| Duesentrieb | ? | 12:47 |
| Walex | Aijse: read a nice book, or there are some tutorials at http://httpd.Apache.org/ | 12:47 |
| benn | need help with grub edit | 12:47 |
| Walex | Neosano: if there is something wrong with your filesystem, perhaps the disk did not restart right. | 12:47 |
| Duesentrieb | Walex: got a hint what do google for? i only find stuff for windows. | 12:48 |
| shengzi | hi, i instaled the latest version of ubuntu on my laptop , but almost everytime i boot it says "operating system not found" , about once in every 10 boots grub comes up and ubuntu works fine for 20 minutes or so ,but then freezes -i can browse the menues but no application works | 12:48 |
| Neosano | Walex I can give you error which I get when resuming, maybe it will help? | 12:48 |
| Duesentrieb | Walex: would it work to download the iso, mount it and start the installer? what is it called? | 12:48 |
| Aijse | Walex, Duesentrieb thnx i ll have a look at that and see if it helps. Else maybe go to the library tomorrow | 12:49 |
| SharpRain | Guys? | 12:49 |
| Walex | Duesentrieb: well, that surely would work. But there is a specific tool (from Debian) to do an install from a running filersystem | 12:49 |
| SharpRain | Hello? | 12:49 |
| Duesentrieb | SharpRain: i guess no one really understands what you are asking for | 12:50 |
| Walex | Duesentrieb: check http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Debian/installers.html | 12:50 |
| sarthorks | walex, but im on jaunty right now, while my Hd has hardy. that wouldn't interfere if i run sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop once i have chroot-ed into it from jaunty? | 12:50 |
| Duesentrieb | SharpRain: "slot"? huh? do you want separate windows or not? | 12:50 |
| djx | hey | 12:50 |
| captine | sory to be nagging. am really struggling to get my monitor working on a fresh install of 9.04 desktop. anyone able to help with this, or is it a manual xork.conf setup? | 12:50 |
| djx | any1 can help me? | 12:50 |
| Walex | SharpRain: that is only supported by some obscure window manager. None of the popular window managers does that. | 12:50 |
| SharpRain | you know in windows? where it has mozzila firefox: 3 and there is 3 windows in that one slot? | 12:50 |

| trijntje | !details | benn | 13:01 |
| ubottu | benn: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 13:01 |
| Neosano | shengzi, same error :D | 13:01 |
| shengzi | wow! | 13:01 |
| Neosano | shengzi :D | 13:01 |
| Neosano | shengzi you're trying to suspend? Or what? | 13:01 |
| shengzi | Neosano, are you using a lenovo laptop? | 13:01 |
| shengzi | i'm trying to boot ubuntu | 13:01 |
| Neosano | no, but using laptop too :) | 13:01 |
| bobbyd | hi | 13:02 |
| Neosano | shengzi, any other partitions on your hard drive? | 13:02 |
| Walex | shengzi: either your disk is failing, or there is something like insufficient power on startup | 13:02 |
| shengzi | Neosano, i have another NTFS partition | 13:02 |
| Neosano | shengzi, me too!!! | 13:02 |
| shengzi | Walex, how can i check this? | 13:02 |
| Walex | to the people worrying about AMD64/64 bit mode: it has been used by many in production for several years. | 13:02 |
| thorkild | Regarding ppa.launchpad.net. Is it "normal" that packages appear in the web interface but not in the packages files? (so I can't install them through apt-get) | 13:02 |
| bobbyd | what's the easiest way to connect to my network at home and use it's resources over the internet? I'm looking for something like a vpn | 13:03 |
| Walex | shengzi: looking at logs. if there are hardware errors they should be pretty obvious | 13:03 |
| trijntje | benn: lets first talk here, there might be other people interested in your problem, or they may know more about it than I do | 13:03 |
| pileca_krilca | can anyone answer me? please | 13:03 |
| Duesentrieb | Walex: hm... that seems to give me a base system, and i can configrre the rest manually. but really all i want to do is run the normal installer that's also on the cd. much simpler. why would i need to boot fro mthe cd to run the installer? | 13:03 |
| Walex | bobbyd: no easy way unless your ADSL (or whatever) router supports ADSL connections. | 13:03 |
| Neosano | Walex, I guess we have same problem.. But mine appears only after suspending | 13:03 |
| shengzi | Walex, i guess i need ubuntu to boot for that....can i use the recovery mode ? | 13:03 |
| Walex | Duesentrieb: nothing special. | 13:04 |
| Neosano | Walex, ah! Also it happens when I'm trying to hibernate | 13:04 |
| benn | trijntje: i`ve compiled kernel,but don`t know how to add in the rub,so that i could boot from it | 13:04 |
| Neosano | shengzi, so your ubuntu have never loaded atleast once? | 13:04 |
| Walex | shengzi: so you cannot boot right now? | 13:04 |
| bobbyd | Walex: there's no way to set up a VPN under ubuntu? Or to use ssh to tunnel somehow? | 13:04 |
| benn | grub* | 13:04 |
| Walex | shengzi: use a liveCD to check. | 13:04 |
| Duesentrieb | Walex: it's annoying that i have to get the full iso though. would be nice to get *just* the installer. actually... is there a small "network install" iso? | 13:04 |
| Walex | Duesentrieb: yes. | 13:05 |
| Neosano | Duesentrieb, yea, 16 mb :) | 13:05 |
| Duesentrieb | oh nice : | 13:05 |
| Walex | bobbyd: sure, but you need to persuade your ADSL or whatever router to forward the relevant traffic. It is not easy in many/most cases. | 13:05 |
| shengzi | Neosano, it booted several times but froze each time, now it booted to shell saying the /dev/disk/lots-of-numbers does not exist | 13:05 |
| benn | trijntje: i`ve downloaded kgrub editor,but it doesn`t load | 13:05 |
| Neosano | shengzi :-\ | 13:06 |
| bobbyd | Walex: I already forward a load of stuff to other machines... | 13:06 |
| bobbyd | Walex: I run openwrt | 13:06 |
| Neosano | shengzi, but still I think mine problem is somewhere around ntfs partition | 13:06 |
| Duesentrieb | Walex, Neosano: but but... where?! i must be blind. | 13:06 |
| trijntje | benn: I cannot help you, sorry. I've never compiled a new kernel myself | 13:06 |
| Neosano | Duesentrieb, er | 13:06 |
| captine | OK. So, I've installed the nvidia drivers through the "System->Administration->Hardware Drivers". Now the only resolution i have is 640x480. cannot use my gnome desktop as nothing fits on the screen. anyone able to help? before the nvidia driver, it ran at 1024x768. This was the highest it would run, but the monitor is capable of more "SyncMaster 713N | 13:06 |
| Neosano | Duesentrieb, one moment | 13:06 |
| captine | Running 9.04 desktop, 64bit | 13:07 |
| Walex | bobbyd: you can probably run the PPTP daemon or OpenVPN or TINC on the OpenWRT, or forward the relevant traffic then. | 13:07 |
| benn | trijntje: ok.thx anyway | 13:07 |
| benn | i`ll try for my one to edit the grub.... | 13:07 |
| bobbyd | Walex: ok | 13:07 |
| moymoy | Walex: nothing i do works... bah.. oh well... i might as well go to sleep and grab whatever sleep i can get | 13:08 |
| shengzi | Neosano, Walex what is "ata"? there seems to be a lot of ata related errors when it boots thru reovery mode | 13:08 |
| === DJAshnar is now known as dev_n00b | ||
| trijntje | benn: you should try to phrase the question better. like "i've compiled a kernel, but how can i add it to grub" | 13:08 |
| duffydack | Is there no way of telling apps to stay on the desktop I put them on? When using compiz it seems if their size changes for instance like a virtualbox machine installing an OS, it pops up on the desktop I`m working on. I dont want that. | 13:08 |
| trijntje | benn: that way there's a better chance people will help you | 13:08 |
| Walex | bobbyd: perhaps the best way is to run SSH daemon on OpneWRT and then use SOCKS access to it. | 13:08 |
| Novita | hello all i whas wondering if anyone could help me setup a small cli command. I have a Directory packed with multipart rar files. This is what i have so far. "ls | grep part01.rar" that gives me every first part of every archive but how do i tunnel that to unrar so it extraxts them 1 by 1? | 13:09 |
| Neosano | Duesentrieb, http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/jaunty/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/ | 13:09 |
| Walex | shengzi: ATA is the disk interface. I hope that you have backups. | 13:09 |
| bobbyd | Walex: hmm | 13:09 |
| benn | trijntje: i've compiled a kernel, but how can i add it to grub??? :) p.s. sorry i`m noob in english:) | 13:09 |
| trijntje | duffydack: there is a way with compiz, ill look it up | 13:09 |
| Neosano | Duesentrieb, it's jaunty i386, probably exactly what you need! If not - browse through the folders there | 13:09 |
| Duesentrieb | Neosano: wow, well hidden. thanks! | 13:09 |
| trijntje | benn: dont ask me ;) Its just that if you are more specific, people will help you better. | 13:10 |
| shengzi | Walex, you mean the disc is dead? i have nothing important there, but it was a working XP before I installed Ubuntu, strange... | 13:10 |
| Neosano | Duesentrieb, yea, I was searching this shit for hours :D | 13:10 |
| mgv1 | good morning - how can i open airocrack-ng? | 13:10 |
| benn | trijntje: nevermind...i`ll try for my self to edit it:)hacker.....:))) | 13:10 |
| Duesentrieb | Neosano: any reason not to use karmic? | 13:11 |
| benn | thx anyway | 13:11 |
| Walex | shengzi: depending on which ATA errors you get, the disk is not in a good state. "working" is not a 100%/0% binary choice. | 13:11 |
| captine | ok. will try another day. | 13:11 |
| SingAlong | Hi all | 13:11 |
| trijntje | benn: ok, good luck! Make a backup of your menu.lst file ;) | 13:11 |
| Neosano | Duesentrieb, Dunno, use karmic if you want to :) | 13:11 |
| Duesentrieb | :P | 13:11 |
| TLF | hello | 13:11 |
| duffydack | trijntje, I`m thinkin maybe disabling viewport switcher might *fix* it | 13:11 |
| trijntje | duffydack: its called 'window placement' in compiz | 13:11 |
| TLF | may I ask, what's the chromium-testsuite-dbg package for? | 13:11 |
| shengzi | Walex, it suddenly booted! in rescue mode - to look at logs, which option should i choose "resume", "clean", "root"? | 13:11 |
| benn | trijntje: i don`t use to make backup`s :)))) | 13:12 |
| shengzi | Walex, maybe fsck? | 13:12 |
| Neosano | Duesentrieb, http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/karmic/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/ for karmic | 13:12 |
| benn | noob...what can i say?:) | 13:12 |
| trijntje | benn: double good luck in that case ;) | 13:12 |
| duffydack | trijntje, yeah I know about that plugin, and its rubbish! lol. apps always start up top right corner, not where they left off.. I`ll have a look around | 13:12 |
| Duesentrieb | Neosano: yea, saw it. wondering if kubuntu also has it. but i can always just install the kde desktop plater | 13:12 |
| mgv1 | anyone can tell me how to use airocrack? | 13:13 |
| Neosano | Duesentrieb yea, you'll have to install some features yourself :) But I don't think it's a problem | 13:13 |
| Neosano | mgvl, I guess it's wrong channel, isn't it? | 13:13 |
| SingAlong | there seems to be a wireless problem in my acer aspire one netbook. i left my netbook turned on and took a nap and after i returned i'm not able to connect to the net via the netbook. although the net works fine on my desktop. I've noticed this happening very often when the connection is left idle. The connection isnt working even when i restart nm-applet. any ideas? | 13:13 |
| trijntje | duffydack: hmm, if the windows are not full size they remember where to start, at least the programs i configured with that plugin do.. | 13:14 |
| benn | trijntje: thx....will reboot now to see what i`ve done:))) | 13:14 |
| Neosano | mgvl, you can even try searching in youtube :) Lots of help there | 13:14 |
| Walex | shengzi: 'fsck' fixes _logical_ problems, not physical ones. | 13:14 |
| bobbyd | SingAlong: try suspending and resuming it | 13:14 |
| SingAlong | bobbyd: you mean suspending the netbook and then resuming it? | 13:15 |
| Walex | SingAlong: nothing special, happens often. | 13:15 |
| bobbyd | SingAlong: if that works, look in /var/log/syslog for errors about not being able to wake up the interface | 13:15 |
| bobbyd | SingAlong: yep | 13:15 |
| bobbyd | SingAlong: my netbook seems to flake out sometimes, a quick suspend fixes it | 13:15 |
| SingAlong | bobbyd: you have the same netbook> | 13:15 |
| Walex | shengzi: of course physical problems can create logical problems, but if you get ATA errors, you have physical problems. | 13:16 |
| bobbyd | SingAlong: I've got *a* netbook that does something similar :) | 13:16 |
| SingAlong | bobbyd: :) | 13:16 |

| SingAlong | bobbyd: curious to know if its an acer aspire one or an eeepc | 13:18 |
| incorrect | vmware 2.0 is hopeless, xen seems to be hopelessly broken, kvm reports duff cpu model info, | 13:18 |
| Walex | incorrect: everything is broken, to a degree. | 13:18 |
| Walex | shengzi: 'dmesg > /tmp/file' for example | 13:18 |
| incorrect | Walex, tell me about it | 13:18 |
| shengzi | Walex, thanks | 13:18 |
| Walex | shengzi: but the output of 'dmesg' should also be in '/var/log/messsages' | 13:19 |
| Walex | incorrect: and VM is a popular/trendy thing -- a lot of people then want a boost to their careers byt writing some half-assed VM subsystem to look cool. | 13:19 |

| benn | trijntje: nope....doesn`t work:( | 13:20 |
| Walex | phiphi: surely there is a way, the question is whether the VM emulates a VGA card with two monitors. Unlikly. | 13:21 |
| benn | someone pls help me with editing the grub so that to load from an compiled kernel..... | 13:21 |

| Duesentrieb | Walex, Neosano: doesn't look like i can run the installer from a mounted iso. it's all compressed into initrd.gz | 13:21 |
| shengzi | Walex, thanks, can you have alook at http://paste.ubuntu.com/274628/ its my dmseg | 13:21 |
| benn | trijntje: nope:)don`t think so:)i`m from Moldova...guess you`ve never heard about this country:) | 13:22 |
| trijntje | Pinchiukas, sudo apt-get update. Read man apt-get for more information | 13:22 |
| Walex | Duesentrieb: you can if you boot the ISO. | 13:22 |
| Walex | Duesentrieb: or if you run 'deboostrap'. | 13:22 |
| Duesentrieb | Walex: i don't *want* to boot the iso, that#s the entiere point :) i want to run the installer off a runing ubuntu :) | 13:22 |
| Walex | Duesentrieb: run it into a virtual machine. Else use 'deboostrap' | 13:23 |
| Duesentrieb | Walex: but debootstrap doesn't run the normal installer. it installs a base system. not what i want. | 13:23 |
| Pinchiukas | Thanks trijntje. | 13:23 |
| trijntje | benn: well I've heard about that country, but not about an ubuntu channel there ;) | 13:23 |
| moymoy | Duesentrieb: you can't run an installer in a running ubuntu, because your harddrive would be mounted... what you COULD do is mount the ISO and add it as a source to your update-manager or synaptic | 13:23 |
| Duesentrieb | what i want is basically what wubi does for windows. | 13:23 |
| Duesentrieb | moymoy: but i don't wnat to update the running system. i want to install to a blank partition. which is not mounted. | 13:24 |

| shengzi | Walex, i have searched for the word error in all my dmesg files but found none, from your experience do you think i should get a new hard disc? | 13:31 |
| Walex | benn: yes, and it is likely to work, if the UUIDs are right, and the 'initrd' has the right modules. | 13:32 |
| Wizards | Walex, I'm not finding anything more than 2.0..and that's firefox | 13:32 |
| Walex | shengzi: from that 'dmesg' the problem seems to be that you are trying to use hibernate on a system on which it is not reliable. | 13:32 |
| benn | Walex: i-ve coppied the UUIDs from the kernel that loads now,the last version | 13:32 |
| Walex | Wizards: then don't worry -- the load average is not always that reliable. | 13:33 |

| dev_n00b | I'm using an EEE PC | 13:45 |
| dev_n00b | 7014G surf | 13:45 |
| Powersource | interesting | 13:45 |
| Walex | dev_n00b: also, I vastly recommend JFS instead of 'ext4'. | 13:45 |
| dev_n00b | I want the 900 with the 16gb SSD... saw it for 219 after shipping | 13:45 |
| dev_n00b | Walex, reason? | 13:46 |
| Mert | I' ve just installed ubuntu can someone recommend me a good starter guide? | 13:46 |
| Walex | captine: if blurry, either the hw resolution is not right, or it is via VGA and the screen has a poor VGA sync or VGA decoder, or the card (usually) as a poor VGA output. | 13:46 |
| Walex | dev_n00b: check out the Corsair SSD SATA drives, very good value. | 13:46 |

| captine | just wish i could find the right settings | 13:47 |
| trijntje | captine: what syncmaster? | 13:47 |
| dev_n00b | Walex, the 701 4G surf has no additional PCI_E_MINI and the 4GB preinstalled is Surface Mount Soldered | 13:47 |
| captine | trijntje: I pasted from a xorg.conf file that used the same monitor | 13:47 |
| Walex | dev_n00b: anyhow neither 'ext4' nor JFS are appropriate for an SSD. | 13:47 |
| captine | trijntje: syncmaster 713N | 13:47 |
| dev_n00b | well, her desktop is what I will be working on | 13:47 |
| Walex | dev_n00b: for an SSD try 'ext2' or NILS2 | 13:47 |

| Powersource | legend2440, when i uncheck it all the files go one pixel to the left | 13:53 |
| Duesentrieb | anli_: when you resize a partition with parted, the fs should stay ok. though there's no guarantee. and defragging first is recommended (of applicable to that fs) | 13:53 |
| captine | Walex, trijntje thanks for the help. will have to wait, or just use remote desktop to the ubuntu machine. | 13:53 |
| Walex | captine: I found that if I play carefully with the LCD sync/autosync it gets a bit better. | 13:53 |
| dev_n00b | What FS would be recommended for a fresh install? | 13:54 |

| blip- | hi all, when I first installed ubuntu 9.04.... my usb headset worked superbly. I plug it in, then it becomes the default and I play music through Exaille... now the sound comes out of the laptop speakers. any idea if a package could be responsible ? | 13:59 |
| Walex | shengzi: I never used hibernation because it is usually so unreliable, as well as very insecure. | 13:59 |
| shengzi | Walex, ok ...thanks ...i'll google it... | 13:59 |
| benn | eboyjr: don`t know.read to put ext4 on 9.04.i`ve putted ext4.i`m a noob in linux:) | 13:59 |
| captine | hey Walex - had my monitor connected to computer using a monitor extension. removed the extra piece of cable, and all is good. must have been causing bad signal. Crystal clear gnome desktop. | 14:00 |
| dawkirst | Hello, I'm running Ubuntu 9.04 in a virtual machine with DHCP, but it gets assigned a 10.0.2.X address, while my host is on anthother machine. Is this an Ubuntu fix or does it have something to do with the virtual machine? | 14:00 |
| Walex | shengzi: usually, suspend-to-ram is a lot more reliable and keeps state for days. | 14:00 |
| eboyjr | benn: It's fine. I have heard that ext4 is faster. | 14:00 |
| john112 | hi i did this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto the first part anyway, but not the otherhalf | 14:00 |
| shengzi | dev_n00b, oh - i got the link...this is for laptop ,rght? | 14:00 |

| ActionParsnip | dawkirst: tats normal | 14:01 |
| dev_n00b | shengzi, it is for laptop | 14:01 |
| shengzi | Walex, the stange thing is that i never tried to hibernate it, it never booted for longer than 20 minutes, maybe the hibernation kicked in in the wrong time... | 14:01 |
| dev_n00b | you could also search for 2.5" 7200 RPM drives on Newegg | 14:01 |
| Walex | shengzi: if it is a supported laptop, it tries to hibernate every time you close the lid. | 14:01 |
| dev_n00b | I have a 120gb in my sons laptop | 14:01 |
| Walex | shengzi: the other possibility is that hibernation is configured wrong and tries to restart from the wrong partition. | 14:02 |
| ActionParsnip | dawkirst: vbox uses its own network to link to the real outside world, you can bridge the connection to get the virtual machine visible from the outside world and it ill get an IP from your real network | 14:02 |
| dawkirst | ActionParsnip: can I change it? | 14:02 |
| shengzi | dev_n00b, thanks,,,,cheap....but i dont live in america,,,i'll look for it on taobao.com | 14:02 |
| dawkirst | Thanks ActionParsnip | 14:02 |
| dev_n00b | okies :) | 14:02 |
| ActionParsnip | dawkirst: you can change the addressing of the virtual lan but it achieves nothing | 14:03 |
| ajay | I recently updated 9.04 and realized my laptop's volume wheel no longer controls my laptops volume. If I spin the wheel, the notification with the speaker appears and it will change the image (from mute to sound to max, etc), but the actually volume doesn't change at all. The only way I can change the sound is if I click the speaker button on my panel and slide it with my mouse. Anybody know how to fix this? | 14:03 |
| dawkirst | ActionParsnip: how can I bridge it tho? | 14:03 |
| shengzi | Walex, thank you for your help | 14:03 |
| dev_n00b | Shengzi, ùyòngkèqi | 14:03 |
| AfC | dev_n00b: hibernate is often hit and miss, as is suspend[-to-ram]. It's not a Linux problem, actually. It's just a hard problem period. Devices go into funny states and it's not always easy for the kernel to restore/reset it clearly. | 14:03 |
| ActionParsnip | dawkirst: check the settings of the vbox when it is powered off, its all there, more precise support can be found in #vbox | 14:03 |

| berxwedan | that's for win 7 mslootweg | 14:32 |
| berxwedan | it doesnt work for win xp | 14:32 |
| mslootweg | ah you´re trying xp, that´s a tad harder | 14:32 |
| eboyjr | ajay: What is the spin tool? | 14:32 |
| mslootweg | You should use bartPE for installing xp from a usb disk | 14:32 |
| berxwedan | well is there a ubuntu/linux edition of that software | 14:33 |
| berxwedan | i tried rmprepusb over wine but it doesnt see the usb drive | 14:34 |
| mslootweg | Berxwedan: Quite a setup, but this does work. I´ve used this: http://www.vandomburg.net/installing-windows-xp-from-usb/ | 14:34 |
| ajay | it is used to check or verifies softwares systems | 14:34 |

| mslootweg | Harish, add a new account and select google talk as the protocol. then enter your account name without @gmail.com | 14:35 |
| berxwedan | thanks mslootweg i'll try that | 14:35 |
| mrfelton | eboyjr: nope: reloaded ubunto onto the usb with unetbootin. Pluged it into the eee, booted off it. Got to the installation screen. Selected to install it. Got the ubuntu splash/boot screen for a minute or so, then it dropped into busybox (initramfs) | 14:35 |

| mslootweg | najevi, I´ve usually failed at attempts to read out wifi kill switches. It´s not cummunicated to the os in a regular fashion | 14:37 |
| pac1 | I have /tmp as overflow 1024 760 264 75% /tmp It keeps filling up and things freeze up. How can I make it bigger? | 14:37 |
| najevi | mslootweg - ok ty | 14:37 |
| mslootweg | fbianconi: harish was. | 14:37 |
| harish | not working "couldn't establish a connection" | 14:37 |
| eboyjr | mrfelton: Try unplugging the USB flash stick for a second after the Ubuntu splash loader thingy appears | 14:37 |
| fbianconi | harish: create an xmpp account | 14:38 |
| mslootweg | Najevi, I´m not saying it´s imposssible. But It won´t be the same on every laptop. | 14:38 |
| ajay | quit bye.................... | 14:38 |
| harish | ya done but still not working | 14:38 |
| mrfelton | eboyjr: seriously? so, click the install option, wait for the loader screen, then unplug the drive! | 14:38 |
| mslootweg | I´ll setup my google talk account now then :) | 14:38 |
| mrfelton | (for a second) | 14:38 |
| najevi | mslootweg - I don't have a very good "map" or index to the /proc hierarchy ... it's all "suck and see" | 14:39 |
| eboyjr | mrfelton: Yes. As soon as the drive light stops accessing during the loader I believe. It should re-register the drive. | 14:39 |
| jimbeam12 | hey wsup all | 14:39 |
| jimbeam12 | beam here...anyone for a drink> | 14:39 |
| mslootweg | harish: protocol googletalk works fine here. It´s probably not pidgin that´s malfunctioning. Maybe a firewall is blocking google talk | 14:40 |
| fbianconi | harish: on user name your username without @gmail.com; and domain = gmail.com resource = empty and advanced port = 5222 | 14:40 |

| dayo | what is involved in rebranding (giving it a different name) an ubuntu release, including changing the artwork and whatnot? | 14:48 |
| mslootweg | berxwedan: It´s a one time setup, might be worth considering to use a VM if that is possible. | 14:48 |
| john112 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/274667/ | 14:48 |

| eboyjr | I think that will fix it... | 14:50 |

Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate | 14:50 |
| mslootweg | berxwedan: It´s quite easy, for ubuntu I suggest you use sun virtualbox. Then you just select the iso of windows xp in the software and it loads the setup just like a regular pc | 14:50 |
| berxwedan | nice | 14:51 |

| shredder12 | I am using xubuntu and I wanted to install slackware on the same system.. I have the required ISOs nd I was jst wondering if I could install slackware on another partition thru xubuntu (without creating CDs) | 14:51 |
| eboyjr | Mert: It is less compatible with Ubuntu. e.g. It doesn't support Ubufox | 14:52 |
| berxwedan | mert: sudo apt-get install firefox-3.5 | 14:52 |
| eboyjr | Mert: It will then be listed as Shiretoko in your menu. | 14:52 |
| berxwedan | yeah | 14:52 |
| Mert | Shiretoko sorry? | 14:52 |
| mslootweg | John: get a wav file and play it with aplay. it should give an error if there is one | 14:52 |
| jimbeam12 | mert.. | 14:53 |
| jimbeam12 | try this link | 14:53 |
| eboyjr | Mert: That will be the name of Firefox 3.5. It is the name that it will be listed as. | 14:53 |
| jimbeam12 | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=330386 | 14:53 |

| mslootweg | John: one more thing, from what you´ve posted I believe you´re running an ATI soundcard, not an intel one. | 14:55 |
| mslootweg | shredder12: slackware uses a bootable image as it´s installer, just like ubuntu. You can offcourse install it in a virtual machine and copy it over. but you won´t be able to start the installer from within ubuntu | 14:58 |
| mslootweg | Burning a disc is easiest | 14:58 |
| chahine | sllll | 14:59 |
| shredder12 | mslootweg: ya, burning a disk would be the easiest but unfortunately i don't have any now.. so aren't there any tools available using which I can install slackware using the ISOs on my local machine.. | 14:59 |

| erUSUL | jurgentje: checked the ff configuration for fonts ? | 15:33 |
| remyo | Mert: The thing about Vim is its just hard learning the commands at first. And its extremely bare bones, so you end up kind of building it to be the editor you need | 15:33 |

| phiphi | akatsuki: Basically you can install everything, but they usually fit better in one of them. if you have gnome and install a KDE app, then you have to install a lot of libraries etc. | 16:25 |

| ZykoticK9 | berxwedan, in the settings for XP have you enabled USB? can you see where to put the check? | 16:28 |
| phiphi | Rooftops: i suggest to add the repository, like that you get also the updates | 16:28 |
| ivan-ubuntu | eboyjir nooo | 16:28 |
| berxwedan | sorry i didnt add it to vb | 16:28 |
| limx | i installed okteta and vlc on my gnome ubuntu.. but only vlc uses the QGTKStyle | 16:29 |
| Rooftops | ok thanks. i thought i did that all but i dont really know so i'll check | 16:29 |
| hacktop_ | that only removes one package | 16:29 |
| limx | how can i force okteta to use also the QGTKStyle? | 16:29 |
| hacktop_ | I need to get back to KDE | 16:29 |
| hacktop_ | Gnome does not work for me | 16:29 |
| IdleOne | !purekde | 16:29 |
| ubottu | If you want to remove all !Gnome packages and have a default !Kubuntu system follow the instructions here « https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureKDE » | 16:29 |
| limx | any idea? :-/ | 16:30 |

| Dr_Willis | oscar: Check how its partiioned.. and How did you install xubuntu to it? | 16:52 |
| Dr_Willis | oscar: if you used Unetbootin or the USB creater tool to make a 'live xubuntu flash drive' you could use the remainder of the space by windows. | 16:52 |

| lluad | Do you mean the commercially available book with that title, or just docs that match that description? | 16:55 |
| Dr_Willis | oscar: if you installed it as you would to a normal hard drive. then you will need some tools to let windows read/access the ext# filesystem.. Unless you left a ntfs/vfat partition for windows to use. | 16:55 |

| Dr_Willis | oscar: you dedicated your whole fash drive to linux.... | 16:58 |

| ZykoticK9 | TheLinuxMoron, see http://librenix.com/?inode=21 for a little background to your question | 17:05 |
| Dr_Willis | TheLinuxMoron: avg has a free one and theres clamav also.. May be some others... | 17:06 |
| lluad | benc: I doubt it's the same, but it's a decent enough document on packaging for current Ubuntu. | 17:06 |
| xps9000 | TheLinuxMoron: Antivirus isn't practical on desktops---but, if you use anything, use ClamAV, | 17:06 |
| X1111 | in 9.04, how do i configure my multibutton mouse? i used xorg.conf previously to remap my buttons and such | 17:06 |
| ^mNotIntelligent | hello everyone | 17:06 |
| benc | lluad: thanks | 17:06 |
| Dr_Willis | Ive never had clamav find anything.. while other av tools (on other systems have) So im still undecided on clamav. | 17:06 |
| Dr_Willis | When in doubt.. i guess use more then 1 | 17:06 |
| pradeep | is there any command to check the network speed? | 17:07 |
| TheLinuxMoron | dr_willis: well It maybe spyware but, my firefox keeps changing to add crap | 17:08 |
| Jeruvy | pradeep: many use ntop, perhaps that will do. | 17:08 |
| xps9000 | pradeep: WAN or LAN network speed? | 17:08 |
| Dr_Willis | TheLinuxMoron: Hmm.. Ive neer had firefox get botherd by that stuff under Linux. | 17:08 |
| TheLinuxMoron | dr_willis: me either.. | 17:08 |
| Dr_Willis | TheLinuxMoron: make a new user - see if they have the same issue. | 17:08 |
| pradeep | xps9000: wan | 17:09 |
| Dr_Willis | TheLinuxMoron: what is it 'adding' exactly? | 17:09 |
| Jeruvy | TheLinuxMoron: could be a rogue site playing javascript games with you :) | 17:09 |
| Dr_Willis | NoScript Extension - is so handy | 17:09 |
| TheLinuxMoron | jeruv: maybe.. | 17:09 |

| AstroEl | my workspace switcher isn't working :< | 17:10 |
| atheistrical | using Ubuntu 9.04 no audio! | 17:10 |
| Padhu | oscar:linux partition file transfer speed is higher than windows partiton. I always use ext3 partiton with live CD. Puppy linux is best to use in pendrive. It's size is 250MB and rest of space can be used for carry data. | 17:10 |
| xps9000 | pradeep: Measuring WAN speed is rather complicated, due to different variations of router configuration, network traffic, what backbone the network is connected to. But, what I do... Is save a bunch of 100mb files on different servers, and I'll have the site I'm testing grab it with wget and it'll give you a rough estimation. But, remember to do servers in both distant and close networks to help. | 17:11 |

| ZykoticK9 | Mert, .bz2 is a compressed file - to uncompress it simply "bunzip2 filename" | 17:17 |
| okaratas | hello | 17:18 |
| blip- | Mert: you shouldn't 'install' programs from .bz2 (unless you know what you're doing). Use the ubuntu repositories instead, start "Synaptic" | 17:18 |
| geirha | Mert: If it's a tar.bz2 file, then it's a compressed archive. Unpack it and follow the instructions in the README/INSTALL files it continas | 17:19 |
| okaratas | nalioth, are you there?= | 17:19 |
| Mert | it is a tar.bz2 file | 17:19 |

| ^mNotIntelligent | Mert, untar/unzip and install the app manually using README file | 17:20 |
| okaratas | this nick benc belong to the Ben Collins nick.. | 17:20 |
| geirha | Mert: Sure there's no package in the repositories, or a deb package for it? I strongly suggest searching for hat first | 17:20 |
| geirha | *that | 17:20 |

| Hans_Henrik | Joe: easier than you'd might think :p (if you have installed windows from scratch before, at least) | 17:31 |
| ship | LjL: i don't think so. | 17:31 |
| ryanCH | atheistrical, are you having the same problem? ;p | 17:31 |
| LjL | ship: i do think so. | 17:31 |
| ship | LjL: kubuntu-desktp lacks of some packages | 17:31 |
| LjL | JoeSomebody: why don't you use automaic partitioning if you have no knowledge? | 17:31 |
| ^mNotIntelligent | BRB | 17:31 |
| ship | LjL: for example... mplayerthumbs? | 17:31 |
| LjL | ship: kubuntu-desktop is what Kubuntu installs (the name should give a SUBTLE hint). | 17:31 |
| atheistrical | ryanCH, Yes | 17:31 |

| wrapster | guys apparently ggrep is a csw pkg for which i downloaded pkgutil from blaswave but after I converted it to deb and tried installing it.. I didnt get any errors but as natively suggested there was no /opt/csw dir | 17:33 |
| pradeep | ship : that should help u out | 17:33 |
| LjL | ship: perhaps you're confusing the fact that you don't have (for some reason) Recommends enabled when installing kubuntu-desktop with the (wrong) fact they're not there. | 17:33 |
| ship | LjL: if you had used ubuntu+kde 3.5 you should know kde in that condition is very slow | 17:33 |
| wrapster | dpkg -l |grep csw shows this pkg as installed... | 17:33 |
| LjL | ship: that's bollocks. | 17:33 |

| spritle | git an issue | 17:35 |
| spritle | got | 17:35 |
| ship | LjL: omg you have some problem you have nto the true on your thinking | 17:35 |
| Dr_Willis | I had no issues with kubuntu-desktop and ubuntu-desktop on the same machine. with 9.04 i had a few issues.. which seem fixed in 9.10 im testing. | 17:36 |

| puremichael | can i disable the searching behaviour in epiphany? i mean searching the history after typing | 17:36 |
| JoeSomebody | why doesnt someone write help windows in this OS? | 17:36 |
| LjL | ship: keep yours out of this channel then, because it is FACTUALLY WRONG | 17:36 |
| spritle | i reimaged over my ubuntu partition with crunchbang and now in getting a grub error 22 on boot | 17:36 |
| pradeep | JoeSomebody: mount point is the point where root partion is mounted / | 17:36 |
| Salvad | Is there some king of application to switch between Compiz-fusion and metacity? | 17:36 |
| ship | LjL: this is your point of view. | 17:36 |
| Salvad | *Kind. | 17:36 |
| Dr_Willis | JoeSomebody: every partition has a beginning and an end.. thus that defines its size... | 17:36 |
| ship | LjL: i am a breezy user too. | 17:36 |
| legend2440 | Dr_Willis: Old age and cunning will triumph over youth and enthusiasm every time | 17:37 |
| Dr_Willis | JoeSomebody: and all filesystems get mounted SOMEWHERE / is the root partition. | 17:37 |
| ZykoticK9 | JoeSomebody, Beginning is where the partition starts, End is where it finishes -- mount point is where the partition will be mounted on the file system - ie. the main partition on an Ubuntu system will get mounted as "/" others could be mounted as "/home/" etc... | 17:37 |
| ship | LjL: i have seen a *lots* of bad stuff when you mess up the system. | 17:37 |
| LjL | ship: it is my point of view, which i suspect will be shared with the operators of this channel if it came to that. so, please don't suggest to people tht they shouldn't install KDE on Ubuntu or nonsense like that. | 17:37 |
| ship | and my thinking is this don't mix the system | 17:37 |
| Dr_Willis | JoeSomebody: if you dont understand partitioning.. then resize your widnows parittions (from windows is one way) leave part of the hard drive UNALLOCATED. and let the installer auto partition the unallocated space. | 17:37 |
| === siriusnova is now known as serios | ||

| JoeSomebody | i dont want 180 gb for ububtu | 17:38 |
| Dr_Willis | spritle: i dont use it much any more | 17:38 |
| ship | LjL: i suggest what i think it's true and not a bad system that require a lots of work to be set well , and ubuntu+kde it's a bad system that must be set well to work | 17:38 |
| JoeSomebody | i wiant to use about 40 | 17:38 |
| Dr_Willis | JoeSomebody: then use some smaller size.. we dont know your exact system needs/layout/requirements. | 17:38 |
| JoeSomebody | and i do understand windows well | 17:38 |
| pradeep | JoeSomebody : resize ur partition | 17:38 |
| Dr_Willis | JoeSomebody: use windows.. resize.. leave 40gb or so in a unallocated part of the hard drive.. let installer use that. | 17:39 |
| Dr_Willis | If you understand windows well.. i dont see how you can have never partiioned drives befor. :) | 17:39 |
| wrapster | so now then supposing I want to get that software on ubuntu how may i get it? | 17:39 |
| ship | LjL: just to know i am a kdenlive programer... then. | 17:39 |
| pradeep | JoeSomebody: how many drived do u have | 17:39 |
| pradeep | JoeSomebody: how many drives do u have | 17:39 |
| JoeSomebody | this is my first time, HOW do i let the installer use that? | 17:39 |
| ZykoticK9 | ship, please drop this issue -- there is NO difference between Kubuntu and Ubuntu+KDE - they are the same thing! Listend to LjL on this issue. | 17:39 |
| Dr_Willis | JoeSomebody: if theres unallocated space.. i belive the installer asks 'use unalocated' space. | 17:40 |
| JoeSomebody | ok, hope so :) | 17:40 |
| Dr_Willis | JoeSomebody: otherwise it asks to resize | 17:40 |
| ship | ZykoticK9: mouhahahah | 17:40 |
| ship | poor guy you don't see details | 17:40 |
| Dr_Willis | JoeSomebody: and from what ive seen the windows tools resize ntfs faster then linux tools do. | 17:40 |
| ship | the issue is that. i have another point of view | 17:41 |
| ship | and if someone ask me i will answer always the same | 17:41 |
| ship | don't mix the system | 17:41 |
| * Dr_Willis installs ubuntu-desktop kubuntu-desktop xubuntu-desktop and.. err.. what else.. :) | 17:42 | |

| wildc4rd_ | evenin' all | 17:54 |
| xlrr8 | Well you would have to do a better job of defining a "real" install. If you are worried about performance, there is virtually no loss in performance running ubuntu from a "virtual" wubi disk. As for being "real" you can use ubuntu the same in every way using wubi that you can by performing a disk install. | 17:55 |

| outspoke | yeah | 18:15 |
| outspoke | newbie here | 18:15 |
| ActionParsnip | U8untu: the irc server will listen on a port (most likely 6667) you need to verify the port you are listeningh on for your IRC server and forward that port | 18:15 |
| outspoke | i'm just trying it | 18:15 |
| outspoke | and...just confused | 18:15 |
| ^mNotIntelligent | outspoke, what exactly is your prob...put details of your problem...and use nick in the begining of each response | 18:16 |
| ActionParsnip | U8untu: configuring of dlink / netgear / whatever routers is unike between providers and even model so is impossible for anyoine to guide you unless they have the exact router you have (unlikely) | 18:16 |
| ^mNotIntelligent | outspoke, everyone has gone through that phase once...so dont worry | 18:16 |
| U8untu | and how to forward it ActionParsnip ? it will work if i am connected through LAN ? | 18:16 |
| === ralph is now known as vaKor | ||
| Laurens | my xorg uses 60% cpu and I have an intel integrated card, what am I supposed to do | 18:16 |
| ActionParsnip | U8untu: yes it will work on lan | 18:16 |
| Laurens | ubuntu is *very* slow | 18:17 |
| ActionParsnip | U8untu: you will just accept extra connectiuons from the outside world as your router has been told to allow that port access | 18:17 |
| Laurens | and new windows load in bars from top to bottom | 18:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Laurens: have yuo installed and configured video drivers? | 18:17 |
| ZykoticK9 | Laurens, do you have Compiz turned on? | 18:17 |
| Laurens | yes | 18:17 |
| * U8untu brb .. | 18:17 | |
| Laurens | Compiz is on afaik, but with no effects | 18:17 |
| ActionParsnip | yeah turn compiz off | 18:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Laurens: are you fully updated? | 18:18 |
| Laurens | yes, I did that like 1 hour ago | 18:18 |
| outspoke | ^mNotIntelligent: i was trying to execute a program that is windows-based; however, it says that an error has occurred. the file has an .exe file. and i'm running the ubuntu via the CD...so i didn't install the ubuntu in the HD | 18:18 |
| ActionParsnip | outspoke: not all apps run | 18:18 |
| Laurens | if I go to appearance > visual effects, the box with 'none' is on | 18:18 |
| outspoke | ^mNotIntelligent: i think i got the format correct? | 18:18 |
| ^mNotIntelligent | outspoke, are you on liveCD? | 18:19 |
| Jallamann | Hi, can someone tell me the name of the german Ubuntu helpchannel? | 18:19 |
| Laurens | #ubuntu.de ? | 18:19 |
| h2g2bob | !de | 18:19 |

| Jallamann | thx | 18:19 |
| outspoke | ^mNotIntelligent: liveCD? | 18:19 |
| ActionParsnip | outspoke: wine is a best effort. Some apps run great (doom3) some apps will install but run weird or need special options (Postal2) some will simply refuse to even install (ThemePark) | 18:19 |
| Laurens | :) | 18:19 |
| ActionParsnip | !de | 18:19 |
| Laurens | ActionParsnip, I am fully updated | 18:20 |
| ^mNotIntelligent | outspoke, you said you're running ubuntu via CD... | 18:20 |
| outspoke | ^mNotIntelligent: yeah | 18:20 |
| ActionParsnip | Laurens: could try the reverted driver. Its helped people having slowness with intel vga | 18:20 |
| ActionParsnip | Laurens: http://webupd8.blogspot.com/2009/05/reverting-xorg-video-intel-driver-of.html | 18:20 |
| Ep5iloN | Hi, some question. How can I view connections that gnutls server holds right now? | 18:21 |
| ^mNotIntelligent | outspoke, still you can install wine and run win apps...but keep in mind you can't run all win apps... | 18:21 |
| ActionParsnip | Laurens: this is the height of my intel knowledge as I think they stink | 18:21 |
| Laurens | Im gonna buy an AMD Phenom X3 710 for my next pc | 18:21 |
| Laurens | this is just silly 1,8 GHz pentium4 | 18:21 |
| Laurens | :$ | 18:21 |
| ActionParsnip | Laurens: nvidia gfx is very well supported in linux :D | 18:21 |
| Laurens | what about ATi? | 18:22 |
| nh2 | ZykoticK9: thanks! | 18:22 |
| dpreacher | I can't figure out what /dev/sd? is my Seagate Freeagent 500gb usb ntfs so that I can mount it. I tried searching in dmesg and with sudo fdisk -l but no clue at all. only lsusb tells Seagate device is connected. Ubuntu jaunty. ntfs-3g installed | 18:22 |
| ActionParsnip | ati is getting better | 18:22 |
| alokito | can i boot from my root partition after resizing it? | 18:22 |
| alokito | if not how to make it bootable? | 18:22 |
| Laurens | ActionParsnip, and Club 3D? | 18:22 |
| ^mNotIntelligent | dpreacher, whats the output of fdisk -l | 18:22 |
| outspoke | ^mNotIntelligent: ah ok...let me check ifi can install it | 18:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Laurens: club3d make ati and nviia cards, so its the same as any other manufacturer | 18:23 |
| dpreacher | It detects the 3 partitions of my primary internal hard disk swap / and /home ^mNotIntelligent | 18:23 |
| ^mNotIntelligent | outspoke, yeh sure....revert back if you've issues | 18:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Laurens: you drive the chip on the card, not the card manufacturer | 18:23 |
| === blip- is now known as iAreBaboon | ||
| ^mNotIntelligent | dpreacher, and what else is not getting detected, that you want to be...is that the case ? | 18:23 |
| iAreBaboon | anyone know what mechanism does pulseaudio use to automatically switch sound cards when you, say pluging a usb headset ? | 18:23 |
| iAreBaboon | that mechanism worked fine until a few days ago where it never routes to the usb | 18:24 |
| dpreacher | ^mNotIntelligent Seagate Freeagent external drive not getting detected | 18:24 |
| tonii | IAmWeasel! | 18:24 |
| ActionParsnip | tonii: i r baboon | 18:24 |
| ^mNotIntelligent | dpreacher, but you dmesg says it's been detected, right? is that | 18:25 |
| ^mNotIntelligent | dpreacher, *your | 18:25 |
| tonii | ^_^ | 18:25 |
| alokito | can i boot from my root partition after resizing it? if not how to make it bootable? | 18:25 |
| dutchie | alokito: it should just stay bootable | 18:25 |
| iAreBaboon | ActionParsnip: no you is not, is r ! :D | 18:25 |
| pronoy | gconf-editor keybindings don't allow me to use <Ctrl>T ...the command gets executed on pressing just 'T' how do i fix this ? | 18:25 |
| dpreacher | ^mNotIntelligent neither dmesg or fdisk has a clue, but lsusb mentions it detected a Seagate device | 18:25 |
| ^mNotIntelligent | alokito, btw you can use grub to set the bootable partition | 18:25 |
| alokito | dutchie, hope so but I think i read somewhere that it goes unbootable | 18:25 |
| alokito | ^mNotIntelligent, u mean update-grub? | 18:26 |
| dutchie | alokito: if you resize it with gparted, you can just use that to set the boot flag on it | 18:26 |
| pronoy | gconf-editor keybindings don't allow me to use <Ctrl>T ...the command gets executed on pressing just 'T' how do i fix this ? | 18:26 |
| alokito | dutchie, ok, trying :-) | 18:26 |
| ^mNotIntelligent | dpreacher, if lsusb is showing your ext hd,,,then it should show up.... | 18:26 |
| ^mNotIntelligent | alokito, not exactly | 18:27 |
| alokito | its a usb pendrive btw.. but bios detects it as hard disk so I guess same thing applies for it too | 18:27 |
| alokito | ^mNotIntelligent, then grub-install root partition? :-/ | 18:27 |

| Celroc | I've heard that running two Windows programs at the same time is a bad idea (this applying to Windows OS, of course), but does it apply to Ubuntu? Say, will running two browsers hurt anything more than a small performance hit? | 18:44 |

| ^mNotIntelligent | Celroc, never | 18:45 |

| ZoeyMarie | jake, you mean, would running sudo apt-get update fix it? I dunno... I suppose it could depend on what's causing the problem. Unless you're asking if an update caused it. shrugs | 19:11 |
| arand | kl_: What is it you're trying to do? (latecomer) | 19:11 |
| ZoeyMarie | has it ever worked before? | 19:11 |

| jake | ZoeyMarie, i updated and my gforce 8800 GT is now working... but it asked me to enable proprietary drivers for that. It didnt mention anything to me about the sound and that now works too | 19:12 |

| sanyi78 | and what if i edit the xorg.conf manually | 20:04 |
| smerz | sanyi78: though i find it weird the drivers are not automatically offered to you :-( | 20:04 |
| Omen20 | thats a pretty common card. Mine worked fine on a Radeon X1050 and its pretty obscure I believe | 20:05 |
| IKsoONer | bonsoir | 20:05 |
| sanyi78 | smerz: can you send me an URL about ati hdXXXX install? | 20:05 |
| smerz | sanyi78: yes you can do that. but you also have to have the drivers. again i'd suggest a step by step guide somewhere on the internet | 20:05 |

| grikdog | rephrasing, what package REALLY has flurry screensaver? the one listed does not load flurry in the real world | 20:12 |
| ewp | konza, why are you worried? | 20:12 |
| Myrtti | konza: ubuntu doesn't have any ports open and responsive by default | 20:12 |
| smerz | webbb82: try "mc" i find it has a good file finder :) | 20:12 |
| n8tuser | Justicepsion-> why not use dd to clear the mbr spaces? | 20:12 |
| Myrtti | konza: welcome to a secure system | 20:12 |
| AlienX | smerz, actually, that's the tool I'm using. For some reason when I set the default input device to "alsa_input.usb_device_46d_8b3_noserial_if1_sound_card_0_alsa_capture_0", it doesn't seem to change the setting from "alsa_input.pci_8086_284b_sound_card_0_alsa_capture_0" | 20:13 |
| Justicepsion | n8tuser: what are the args that I should use? | 20:13 |
| ubuntu | now that remastersys isnt available in jaunty, atleast not reliable, whats a better alternative to that wonderfull backup utility? | 20:13 |
| n8tuser | Justicepsion-> i dont remember this all the time, mbr is what? 456 bytes? man dd for info perhaps | 20:14 |
| smerz | ubuntu: i use sbackup. very simple and reliable | 20:14 |
| grikdog | smerz: have you ever tried restoring from backup? | 20:15 |
| smerz | grikdog: yes quite often. works flawlessly | 20:15 |
| grikdog | smerz: not my experience, but thanks | 20:16 |
| n8tuser | Justicepsion-> did you try man dd yet? | 20:16 |
| ortsvorsteher | ubuntu: did you set before you wget or apt an http_proxy? like " export HTPP_PROXY=ip_for_proxy" ? | 20:17 |
| ubuntu | smerz: does it create a live CD of the ubuntu system, coz thats what made remastersys tick according to me | 20:17 |
| ubuntu | smerz: iso image of the installed system | 20:17 |
| diffy | t | 20:17 |
| konza | ewp, Myrtti : why is it showing that the system is not up when i use nmap? | 20:17 |
| webbb82 | smerz, are you talking about midnight commander? | 20:17 |
| Myrtti | konza: but it is up, when you ping it | 20:17 |
| Justicepsion | n8tuser: http://www.geocities.com/rlcomp_1999/procedures/mbr.html suggests 502 bytes. | 20:17 |
| Myrtti | konza: why would it show up with nmap? | 20:17 |
| smerz | ubuntu: no. It's just about backing up files and resotring them. no live image or something. And to add to grikdog's comments. sbackup has never ever failed on me | 20:18 |
| Myrtti | konza: which port would you expect to show up? | 20:18 |
| smerz | webbb82: yes midnight commander | 20:18 |
| n8tuser | Justicepsion-> i said i cant remember the MBR size, the site maybe correct, of 502 bytes.. seek some ore | 20:18 |
| ubuntu | smerz: thanks | 20:19 |
| konza | Myrtti, if any system is blocking ICMP packet by configuring the firewall, then we will have to use nmap (PING SWEEPING) to see weather the system is up or not RITE? | 20:20 |
| n8tuser | konza-> also think of it this way, what server services the host will tell you that it is up? if no server services is listening to your query then do not expect a response | 20:20 |

| Witepa | I switched my keyboard layout to a Greek layout in Ubuntu, which all worked great, but now my keyboard layout is stuck on the Greek layout in gdm... so essentially I cannot login. I've tried to run dkpg-reconfigure console-setup from the recovery mode, but the keyboard layout is Greek there to (which does not use ascii mappings), so I cannot run anything. How do I change it back so I can login again? | 21:00 |

| diogo_79 | where firefox keeps is bookmarks | 21:02 |

| jonaskoelker | Ridpojken: open up a terminal (Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal), type 'ps -Fe | grep -i compiz' | 21:02 |
| diogo_79 | ? | 21:02 |
| ZykoticK9 | Ridpojken, why not try typing "metacity --replace" in a terminal and see if you boarders return? | 21:03 |
| calman_ | Witepa: you might be able to try some stuff from a liveCD | 21:03 |
| jonaskoelker | Ridpojken: it should output a line that includes /usr/bin/compiz near the end (if you're running compiz) | 21:03 |

| kalcifur | been looking but there are alot of just flashy ones that are the large ones. kinda annoying. | 21:04 |
| Witepa | calman_: I tried that, but dkpg-reconfig only tried to reconfig to the live-cd, which is read only so it really didn't do anything... I tried to change the /etc/default/console-setup file and the /etc/X11/xorg.conf, but those didn't work. In fact, there wasn't even any mention of a greek layout in those files. | 21:04 |

| jonaskoelker | Guest54601: what exactly, "mechanically" do you do, and what happens (and fails to happen) as a response | 21:12 |
| jonaskoelker | judas: it might be a keyboard layout thing. Try setting everything involved to a vanilla "us" keyboard layout and see if it happens again | 21:13 |
| geirha | judas: Sounds like the keyboard setting is set to dvorak | 21:13 |
| jonaskoelker | judas: I have had weird things happen due to using dvorak | 21:13 |
| jonaskoelker | geirha: one-handed? which hand? doesn't sound like any two-handed version I know of | 21:14 |
| judas | awesome thanks a million guys! i'll try that and see what happens :))) | 21:14 |

| jonaskoelker | judas: try running 'setxkbmap us' on both sides | 21:30 |
| jonaskoelker | judas: btw, what's your preferred keyboard layout? | 21:30 |
| Witepa | the_madman: Yeah, that's what I did. What do you think the permission denied's are about though? | 21:30 |

| Ridpojken | jonaskoelker: That's right ;) You want to go and learn some Swedish? | 21:31 |
| the_madman | Witepa: Probably because it might be trying to get stuff from /dev. | 21:31 |

| the_madman | Witepa: Which would make sense, 'cause /dev doesn't contain anything in the chrooted environment - it's all in /dev on the LiveCD. | 21:31 |
| jonaskoelker | judas: hey, you're danish? Me too :) | 21:31 |

| the_madman | Witepa: Yeah, that's not a problem then. If you're still concerned, `exit` from the chrooted environment then run, `mount --bind /dev /media/sda1/dev` and chroot back in. | 21:32 |
| judas | jonaskoelker: halløjsa :) | 21:32 |
| jonaskoelker | judas: does the 'setxkbmap us' change anything? | 21:32 |

| the_madman | Witepa: That looks like it's trying to start up the boot sequence (init) which it can't do since init/init processes are already running. | 21:37 |
| jonaskoelker | gabriel_: not sure, it depends on your router and the software it runs. Try asking in your router's support channel about the router-side issues | 21:37 |
| mrwes | kab00m | 21:37 |
| the_madman | Witepa: But you shouldn't worry too much about that, I think. | 21:37 |

| lstarnes | gabriel_: using MAC filtering might also be a good idea | 21:41 |
| jonaskoelker | gabriel_: wpa1 is (sorta'?) broken, I think | 21:41 |
| the_madman | gabriel_: Generally speaking, it should be enough for casual filters. | 21:41 |
| the_madman | gabriel_: filters? Users* | 21:41 |
| gabriel_ | how can I do that? | 21:41 |
| jonaskoelker | gabriel_: that's again something specific to your router software | 21:41 |
| mgv1 | <SE>: ive tried with 8 gb but it didn't allowed it - that because ive some acronics backups on windows which i need to burn and discard but the files wan't very easy to restore because of errors | 21:41 |
| the_madman | gabriel_: That requires configuration of your router or firewall. | 21:41 |
| JoeSomebody | i made a \ a swap and a home and instaled, did i miss a step? | 21:42 |
| SE | mgv1 for a desktop install, you could probably fit in a couple of gigs with some room to spare, if you want a console server, I have done it in a gig, but it really depends on what you want to do with it | 21:42 |
| gabriel_ | ok, I should call my ISP then | 21:42 |

| Witepa | jonaskoelker, the_madman: /etc/default/console-setup and xorg.conf both refer to US keyboard layouts... in fact I actually can't find anywhere that references a greek keyboard. | 21:45 |
| jonaskoelker | Witepa: cd /etc; grep -ir '[^a-zA-Z]gr(eek|[^a-zA-Z])' * | 21:46 |
| the_madman | Witepa: try reconfigure Hal as well. Hal's configurations tend to have keyboard layout information as well. | 21:46 |
| Witepa | the_madman, jonaskoelker: I'll try dpkg-reconfigure gdm and Hal then. | 21:46 |
| the_madman | The package is just called, 'hal', so that's easy enough. | 21:46 |
| jonaskoelker | Witepa: change my command to egrep | 21:46 |
| jonaskoelker | Witepa: and the regexp to '(^|[^a-zA-Z])gr(eek|[^a-zA-Z]|$)' | 21:47 |
| the_madman | In fact, I'm quite certain it'll be hal's doing... | 21:47 |

| Teckniel | anyone interested? | 21:52 |
| Myrtti | tim__b, got a minute? | 21:52 |
| the_madman | Witepa: because Hal is running in an init instance outside the chrooted environment's init. | 21:52 |
| Teckniel | Myrtti your interested? | 21:52 |
| tim__b | sure, Myrtti, but i closed the query window already | 21:52 |
| Myrtti | tim__b: oh ok | 21:52 |
| Muelli | harisund: pkill gnome-panel..? | 21:52 |
| Myrtti | tim__b: nvm then, jonaskoelker is helping out already | 21:53 |
| harisund | Muelli, that, killall gnome-panel, kill -9 <gnome-panel pid> everything only "restarts" the gnome-panel, not actually kill | 21:53 |
| Witepa | the_madman: Yeah, I figured it was something like that... do you know how I could reconfigure it without using dpkg? | 21:53 |
| tim__b | ok :) could have reconstructed that message, wasnt that hard, but if jonaskoelker has still the 1:1 info :) | 21:53 |
| Muelli | Teckniel: hm. What are your requirements? | 21:53 |
| Teckniel | i have 2 domains | 21:53 |
| Muelli | harisund: hm. Can't you "delete" a panel you don't like? i.e. right click it and delete. | 21:54 |
| Teckniel | that need to be able to send and recieve emails with iRedMail | 21:54 |
| harisund | Muelli, So there's no way to "stop" the program other than delete the panels? I want to keep the panels, just not run the gnome-panel all the time. There are times I need to kill the panel as a whole. Deleting it implies I will have to add it all over again when I need it back | 21:55 |
| jonaskoelker | harisund: it's probably because the gnome session has "gnome-panel" as a program that should be restarted | 21:55 |
| Muelli | hm. you're right harisund. I don't really know :-| There might be no other solution. | 21:55 |
| harisund | jonaskoelker, on earlier Ubuntus there used to be a gnome-session-remove command | 21:55 |
| harisund | Muelli, yeah I don't know whether Gnome is becoming more like Apple or Ubuntu is | 21:56 |

| Witepa | the_madman: Oh, it's alright... I keep forgetting Linux doesn't do things like FreeBSD haha. | 22:00 |

| Roasted | zykotick9 - This is that line in xorg. Option "metamodes" "CRT: 1440x900 +0+0, DFP: nvidia-auto-select +1440+0" Where do I add NULL at again?? | 22:04 |
| Hans_Henrik | but i dont want to waste an other cd :p | 22:04 |
| the_madman | Hans_Henrik: I like to think so... I've got "Apache/2.2.11 (Ubuntu) PHP/5.2.6-3ubuntu4." | 22:04 |
| jonaskoelker | Roasted: to ask questions, to answer questions, and in part to crack jokes | 22:05 |
| Roasted | jonas - shut up, thanks | 22:05 |
| harisund | whoa Roasted that's nice language | 22:05 |
| jonaskoelker | Roasted: no thanks. Sorry I offended you | 22:05 |
| Roasted | haris - get over it, thanks | 22:05 |
| harisund | Roasted, you are welcome | 22:05 |
| Roasted | <3 | 22:05 |
| jonaskoelker | Roasted: I really mean it---I'm sorry that I offended you. But I won't shut up. I'll quit cracking jokes based on what you say, though. Will that make you happy (enough)? | 22:06 |
| Beg | I got some really stupid error. I can't seem to access my Lamp locally without a internet connection with firefox. It says "Firefox is currently in offline mode and can't browse the Web". Any clues? | 22:06 |
| Mert | anyone knows Port Forwarding on ubuntu? | 22:06 |
| Roasted | No. | 22:06 |
| Tomasso | when i use my headset the computers speakers dont mute, if I try to mute it using the mixer, also the headsets mute.. this is very anoying, anyone had this problem before? | 22:06 |
| ZykoticK9 | Roasted, give me one moment | 22:06 |
| Hans_Henrik | using an ubuntu setup as a router..? | 22:06 |
| Roasted | zykotick9 - thanks bro | 22:06 |
| jonaskoelker | Roasted: ok | 22:06 |
| mgv1 | can anyone tell me where are the instructions for begginer of how to use aircrack? i dont even know how to open it | 22:07 |
| Witepa | the_madman: there is no keyboard entry in either of those directories or in the files within :(. Thanks for your help though... I have to go eat some dinner, I'll be back in ~30 minutes. | 22:07 |
| ewp | try the aircrack-ng website | 22:07 |
| iceroot | mgv1: at the manual (website) | 22:08 |
| ewp | mgv1, www.aircrack-ng.org | 22:08 |
| the_madman | Witepa: Then no, don't know what could be it... sorry. | 22:08 |
| ZykoticK9 | Roasted, http://paste.ubuntu.com/274892/ should get you started - you might need to swap the CRT/DFP Null value depending on which monitor you want off. | 22:08 |
| Witepa | the_madman: Thanks anyway... this problem is far too complicated for what it should be. | 22:08 |
| ewp | mgv1, the aircrack suite is a set of tools used in a command-line | 22:09 |
| mgv1 | <iceroot><ewp>:which manual? | 22:09 |
| the_madman | Witepa: Yeah, looks like Ubuntu still needs better international support... | 22:09 |
| Roasted | zykotick9 - the monitor with the resolution 1440x900 (as seen in the pastebin you gave me) is the one I want to shut off. If thats he case, do I paste this? Or do I need to add this to my other monitor instead? | 22:10 |
| Hans_Henrik | oh, i thought LAMP was like a distro in itself! xD (cus of "Linux" part of it) but its just like sudo tasksel install lamp-server ? | 22:10 |
| rocknblogger | I have a Windows 7 set up in Raid 0, I want to install Ubuntu but don't care if it's in Raid, can I install it to a 3rd drive without loss of any Windows files and still be able to dual boot both? | 22:10 |
| ewp | mgv1, well after making sure your wifi card is setup properly check this page out http://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=simple_wep_crack | 22:11 |
| StevenMyers | Hans_Henrik: No it's a self handled front end webserver | 22:11 |
| ctmjr | mgv1: why do you need to learn how to use aircrack? | 22:11 |
| ewp | ctmjr, to use his neighbors internet | 22:11 |
| ewp | my guess | 22:11 |
| usser | rocknblogger, yes that should be possible | 22:11 |
| mgv1 | <ewp>: thank you | 22:11 |
| ZykoticK9 | Roasted make a backup of you current xorg.conf then i'd try test to see, I'm not sure, sorry. | 22:12 |
| mgv1 | <ctmjr>: i want to have accsess to the internet sometimes | 22:12 |
| Roasted | zykotick9 - good call. Doing that now and trying it. Thanks for your help bro! | 22:12 |
| usser | rocknblogger, you can remove your raided drives and plug in that 3rd one and install ubuntu as if theres only drive in the system, then plug windows drives back in and use bios to choose which hdd to boot | 22:12 |
| dejuren | mneptok: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfPnDKrTAkQ | 22:12 |
| ctmjr | ewp: kinda what i figured too | 22:12 |
| rocknblogger | ussr good suggestion | 22:13 |
| erUSUL | Hans_Henrik: yes just use tasksel or synaptic | 22:13 |
| usser | rocknblogger, yea its a little awkward solution but it works, otherwise to boot windows you'd have to install grub to the windows hdd and i dont know how your raid is going to like it | 22:13 |
| rocknblogger | ussr yeah that's what I'm afraid of | 22:14 |
| rocknblogger | ussr I think that your suggestion though I bit awkward is the safest route to go | 22:14 |
| rocknblogger | ussr thanks I'm surprised I didn't think of that, some things are so simple :) | 22:15 |

| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about floodbot | 22:15 |
| Misantropo | du is running and using half of my processor, i didn't run it, i killed it but it starts again and again | 22:16 |
| jonaskoelker | QUESTION: is there a command line that zaps the x server the same way ctrl-alt-backspace does? | 22:17 |
| Hans_Henrik | btw funny thing, in Ubuntu i got no problem what-so-ever getting ~500 KB/ps download speed, but in WinXP on the same machine, i need to use a so-called "download accelerator"/up to 3-4 simultaneous connections to get the same speed.. explanation? | 22:17 |
| trism | jonaskoelker: you could always do sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart, assuming you're using gdm | 22:17 |
| ctmjr | jonaskoelker: what trism said | 22:17 |
| jonaskoelker | I'd prefer want something I can run as non-root | 22:18 |
| Misantropo | now i know, i installed recently gloobus | 22:18 |
| Hans_Henrik | (could be coincidence with server just allways being more busy when im on xp tho.. xD) | 22:18 |
| === logos is now known as Ravi | ||
| bruenig | jonaskoelker: killall X | 22:18 |
| roffe | ok, add/remove is there, but where's the software store? | 22:18 |
| jonaskoelker | what I want, specifically, is to zap the x server when I hit ctrl-alt-backspace, but only on opposing sides of the keyboard. To do that, I want to employ xbindkeys | 22:18 |
| bruenig | jonaskoelker: killall X | 22:18 |
| jonaskoelker | bruenig: X: no process killed | 22:18 |
| trism | jonaskoelker: well ctrl-alt-backspace is disabled in jaunty by default | 22:18 |
| bruenig | jonaskoelker: maybe it is called xserver or xorg | 22:19 |
| jonaskoelker | bruenig: no, the proble is that it's run as root | 22:19 |
| bruenig | jonaskoelker: it shouldn't be | 22:19 |
| jonaskoelker | bruenig: how do I make it not be | 22:19 |
| bruenig | I don't run my xserver as root | 22:19 |
| bruenig | but I don't know what ubuntu does | 22:19 |
| trism | bruenig: gdm will start it as root | 22:19 |
| bruenig | weak | 22:19 |
| bruenig | someone should fix that | 22:20 |
| trism | if you run startx instead it'll start as your user | 22:20 |
| usser | trism, gdm is started as root, but xserver runs as whatever user that gdm logged in | 22:20 |
| trism | usser: that's not true, my X is root right now | 22:20 |
| usser | trism, otherwise you wouldnt be able to do ctrl+alt+backspace at all if it was running as root | 22:20 |
| usser | trism, hm | 22:20 |
| jonaskoelker | usser: my X is root also | 22:20 |
| jonaskoelker | usser: why wouldn't you be able to do that? | 22:20 |
| * usser hm i guess im wrong then | 22:21 | |
| jonaskoelker | usser: the X server sees the keys, shuts down... how would it know which user pressed the keys? | 22:21 |
| judas | jonaskoelker: u don't like alt + print scr + k? | 22:21 |
| jonaskoelker | judas: what does that do again? | 22:21 |
| usser | jonaskoelker, nvm my bad. you're right | 22:21 |
| jonaskoelker | judas: kill all on $TTY? | 22:21 |
| judas | jonaskoelker: same as ctrl alt backspace did | 22:22 |
| Jordan_U | bruenig: Unless you are not using DRM, or are on the bleeding edge, you are running X as root: http://airlied.livejournal.com/59521.html | 22:22 |
| bruenig | jonaskoelker: then you will need to use a sudo NOPASSWD rule in suoders to do it | 22:22 |
| RDove | how many USB extenders can you use before you start to lose a signal to the device? | 22:22 |
| bruenig | bleeding edge ofc | 22:22 |
| usser | but thats just stupid though, running X as root. whats the point in gdm not allowing root logins then? | 22:22 |
| jonaskoelker | judas: that might just work :) | 22:23 |
| jonaskoelker | bruenig: I'm going with judas' solution (sysrq k) | 22:23 |
| jonaskoelker | judas: thanks :) | 22:23 |
| Beg | Whats the hotkey for changing Workspaces? | 22:24 |
| SE | RDove I think USB spec has 100FT max, but I am not sure if that is just a spec, or actual protocol limitation | 22:24 |
| judas | jonaskoelker: nps bro... u can change it back to ctrl alt backspace tho if u want | 22:24 |
| indicava | can anyone assist with a tricky networking setup? | 22:24 |
| jonaskoelker | Beg: ctrl-alt-<arrow> | 22:24 |
| Beg | ah thanks :) | 22:24 |
| jonaskoelker | Beg: or try gnome-keybinding-properties | 22:24 |

| indicava | I have two computers hooked up to the same router, the router is connected to the internet, I want computer A to access the internet through the router but Computer B to use computer A as its GW to the internet, possible? | 22:27 |
| StevenMyers | Hey guys, let me know what you think about my desktop: http://www.screenlets.org/index.php/Image:UbuntuJauntyGrey.jpg | 22:28 |
| ActionParsnip | indicava: you could install squid on computer A then set it as the web proxy for B | 22:28 |
| idyle | I need help! I changed all my source.list sources to karmic and did a full-upgrade, and now my plasma crashes out -- but lucky my alt+f2 still works and I can launch apps that way. What should I do?!?! | 22:30 |
| ActionParsnip | !karmic | idyle | 22:30 |
| ubottu | idyle: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 29th, 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 | 22:30 |

| ActionParsnip | idyle: you also upgraded the wrong way | 22:30 |
| mgv1 | <ewp>: the instructions for airocrack looks hard to understand for me | 22:30 |
| JoeSomebody | what is the command in terminal to see my hard drives? | 22:30 |
| jrib | idyle: yeah, that's not even the correct upgrade procedure... | 22:30 |
| idyle | ActionParsnip: yeah I know I did! do-release-upgrade -d and all that wasn't working -- it said I was fully up to date, but I was only on jaunty!! | 22:31 |
| mano | when i leave my ubuntu idle overnight, i wake up and my mouse pointer is no longer there. i'm on 9.04, i can see it highlighting stuff yet no pointer. i have to restart to get it back | 22:31 |
| ActionParsnip | indicava: then you'll need to setup computer A as a router and have another NIC in computer A, this will make your hardware router obsolete | 22:31 |
| mano | dunno what it could be | 22:31 |
| StevenMyers | idyle usually best to upgrade through update-manager -d ;-) | 22:31 |
| lfaraone | If I install python-moinmoin, where is the MoinMoin source directory located? | 22:31 |
| idyle | Yeah I know it's not the right procedure but what should I do?! | 22:31 |
| datacrusher | hi everyone. im having a trouble with the screen saver. I cant use the gui 'cause when i open it it just freezes, and if the screensaver goes up, i got a blank screen... just get back with crtl+alt+backspace, but closes all the softwares im using,... kinda annoying. how do i get rid of the screensaver? by any means! | 22:31 |
| === mikebeecham is now known as mb1 | ||
| ActionParsnip | idyle: your fiorst question says you got to karmic | 22:32 |
| idyle | StevenMyers: that didn't work either! For some reason my computer thought it was at the latest distro even though I had jaunty installed | 22:32 |

| Xodiac13 | i have a question and was wondering if its better to keep the drivers from the hardware devices that i have installed for my radeon hd 4350 or go to this website https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonHD and install my video drivers like this | 22:33 |
| idyle | ActionParsnip: I did a full-upgrade over the night, not sure which command I used exactly -- apt-get full-upgrade or dist-upgrade -- but it's obviously broken now....I dunno what to do, or how to revert | 22:33 |
| usser | mano, in Section Device in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf try adding this line Option "SWCursor" "True" | 22:33 |
| StevenMyers | idyle: Karmic is the latest desktop for Ubuntu. Best way to do this is to replace your sources.lst with the correct repositories and update from there and then apt-get autoremove your karmic packages after the downgrade is done | 22:33 |
| indicava | ActionParsnip: what would I need to set on comp. B? is it something I can set via the DHCP server on A? | 22:33 |
| StevenMyers | Preferably with Jaunty 9.04 sources.lst | 22:33 |
| JoeSomebody | what is the command in terminal to see my hard drives? | 22:34 |
| Xodiac13 | can someone help me choose what drivers i should us with ubuntu 9.04 i hae installed my driver using the hardware device or should i use this mehtod from the website i found https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonHD | 22:34 |
| ActionParsnip | indicava: you'd need to setup the default gateway as the IP of computer A, then setup computer A with 2 interfaces on the single NIC to manage switching | 22:34 |
| idyle | StevnMyers: alright so I'll change all the karmic -> jaunty then run apt-get update, upgrade, then autoremove?? | 22:34 |
| martin- | JoeSomebody: sudo fdisk -l | 22:34 |
| JoeSomebody | thanks martin | 22:34 |
| ActionParsnip | indicava: it'll get messy but is possible | 22:34 |
| Xodiac13 | i have a radeon hd 4350 | 22:34 |
| ActionParsnip | idyle: are you currently on karmic? | 22:35 |

| StevenMyers | Whoa -a and -c? Which one is the best for him guys... | 22:36 |

| Xodiac13 | epw: im getting this when i try the first commnad sh: Can't open /usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh | 22:47 |
| indicava | ActionParsnip: interesting, will check it out | 22:47 |
| indicava | ActionParsnip: BTW, you aren't really one person acknowledging all those questions at once right ? heh | 22:47 |
| durt | nivekc1, I know nothing about VB, but should there not be a binary or script in /usr/bin? | 22:48 |
| Xodiac13 | epw: nm should i uninstall all my drivers from the hardware device install | 22:48 |
| mano | usser: i think that worked, thanks! | 22:49 |
| usser | mano, no problem | 22:49 |
| * StevenMyers will be back, time to have something to eat. | 22:49 | |
| mano | i will leave my computer idle tonight to see if it solves it, but it saved ok this time! | 22:49 |
| WIGGMPk | nivekc1: so do you just need to start virtualbox? | 22:50 |
| mano | what is gksudo exactly? | 22:50 |
| nivekc1 | WIGGMPk: yes | 22:50 |
| MarcoPau | Hello, I've been getting this since my last upgrade to 2.6.31 RADEONDRIGetVersion failed to open the DRM. any hint? | 22:50 |
| durt | nivekc1, I would not expect a 3rd party .deb to install a menu item. | 22:50 |
| WIGGMPk | nivekc1: and you dont have a shortcut for virtualbox created? | 22:50 |
| nivekc1 | it never made one | 22:50 |
| durt | mano, a front end for sudo. | 22:50 |
| WIGGMPk | nivekc1: ok, just type "VirtualBox" on the command line.. and yes, its case sensitive | 22:51 |
| lstarnes | mano: it is designed to worj with graphical applications | 22:51 |
| nivekc1 | that did it WGGMPk thanks.. btw durt i did just find it in /usr/bin thank you for the help | 22:51 |
| mano | ok thanks all for your replies! | 22:52 |
| candive | Hi, I have used add user how to I remove user in terminal, I changed my mind. Please and thank you. | 22:52 |
| booleancat | Hello, I'm having some problems getting my /etc/network/interfaces file set up correctly. I want eth0 to pull it's info from the local dhcp server, but I want the eth1 interface to be assigned a static ip address of 192.168.100.1. Anyone got some time to help? | 22:52 |
| WIGGMPk | candive: i think its 'rmuser'? anyone else might wanna jump in though | 22:52 |
| booleancat | Is there a #ubuntu pastebin I could post my config to? | 22:52 |
| lstarnes | booleancat: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com | 22:53 |
| tottto-drummond | can someone tell me how to automatically add my signature to an email created with evolution | 22:53 |
| WIGGMPk | candive: sorry.. its acctually "deluser" | 22:53 |
| JoeSomebody | does windoze 7 mess up my new ubuntu from tri-booting? i only have xp and win7 to choose from ... help | 22:53 |
| durt | booleancat, type 'man interfaces', it'll tell you everything. | 22:53 |
| candive | WIGGMPK, thank you | 22:53 |
| booleancat | durt: I'll do that. my config is at http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/274915/ | 22:54 |
| WIGGMPk | JoeSomebody: what exactly are you asking? | 22:54 |
| JoeSomebody | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot tells me how to "grub it", BUT I cant find out which drive is hd0 | 22:54 |
| ewp | candie_, sudo userdel AND then you want to rm -rf the /home/username | 22:54 |
| ewp | candive, sudo userdel AND then you want to rm -rf the /home/username | 22:54 |
| JoeSomebody | i am totally new here , no knowledge | 22:54 |
| ewp | like 10th time i did that today :p | 22:54 |
| WIGGMPk | ewp: does deluser work as well? | 22:55 |
| ewp | WIGGMPk, yea it should | 22:55 |
| JoeSomebody | sudo fdisk -l shows me sda, sdb | 22:55 |
| ewp | WIGGMPk, in that case may want to delete the user's group with delgroup | 22:55 |
| JoeSomebody | i need hd0 | 22:56 |
| JoeSomebody | dont i? | 22:56 |
| durt | booleancat, take the # from line 10 and add 'auto eth1' on a line before the config for eth1. | 22:56 |
| WIGGMPk | candive: ewp: you can also use a paramater IE: "sudo deluser example --remove-home example" or "sudo deluser example --remove-all-files example" | 22:56 |
| ewp | WIGGMPk, i just default to userdel because i'm more familiar with useradd and usermod :-P | 22:57 |
| Hans_Henrik | i need to make a LAN-IP static, how can i do that? (ie, override DHCP with custom settings) | 22:57 |
| JoeSomebody | at the end of the install, it toid me to take out the cd , this was not possible for some reason, i hit reset and took it out | 22:57 |
| booleancat | durt, alright. Will a simple "ifdown eth1 && ifup eth1" work to make sure it's configured right now? | 22:57 |
| JoeSomebody | did that toast it? | 22:57 |
| BlackFate | Hans_Henrik, go to network manager | 22:57 |
| WIGGMPk | ewp: I got ya.. =) just when I seen your response I second guessed myself.. | 22:57 |
| BlackFate | Hans_Henrik, edit connectios and choose the device | 22:57 |
| JoeSomebody | because i just installed ubuntu and its not there :) | 22:58 |
| ewp | WIGGMPk, userdel -r <username> should remove homedir too haha just manpaged it | 22:58 |
| BlackFate | Hans_Henrik, click edit on the connection you want | 22:58 |
| durt | booleancat, do a 'sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart' , this will simulate what happens at boot. | 22:58 |
| WIGGMPk | ewp: there's always like a million ways to do the same thing lol | 22:58 |
| booleancat | Alright, I may just DC, but hopefully it works | 22:58 |
| Hans_Henrik | BlackFate: where do i find "edit connections"? | 22:58 |
| BlackFate | Hans_Henrik, go to ipv4 settings. and set method to manual and set ips | 22:58 |
| candive | ewp, sudo deluser seems to have worked I will also try rm -rf /home/chris | 22:58 |
| BlackFate | Hans_Henrik, wait ill screenshot you | 22:58 |
| booleancat | "Failed to bring up eth1" | 22:58 |
| Rockj | Hey, Im wondering if anyone else have had issues with totem-plugin-viewer and firefox? I have issues streaming some online video which totem-plugin-viewer are supposed to take care of. but it never starts...but if I kill firefox, the sound is arriving and the totem-plugin-viewer is still alive but I got no video (no window I can swap too....) | 22:58 |
| Rockj | anyone have any idea? | 22:59 |
| ewp | candive, make sure to use sudo in that cmd | 22:59 |
| ewp | WIGGMPk, beauty of linux lol | 22:59 |
| ewp | i like options :-D | 22:59 |
| durt | booleancat, DC? | 22:59 |
| booleancat | dis-connect | 22:59 |
| BlackFate | Hans_Henrik, http://www.lostid.net/Screenshot.png | 23:00 |
| candive | ewp yes sudo always first thank you | 23:00 |
| durt | booleancat, what does ifconfig say? | 23:00 |
| booleancat | I set it up manually before with " sudo ifconfig eth1 192.168.100.1 netmask 255.255.255.0" | 23:00 |
| booleancat | ifconfig reports the correct info after I issued the above command, but the /etc/init.d/networking restart command said it failed to bring up eth1 | 23:00 |
| durt | booleancat, do a 'sudo ifdown eth1' then restart networking. | 23:01 |
| booleancat | "ifdown: interface eth1 not configured" | 23:01 |
| === TheS is now known as TheS[away] | ||
| BlackFate | Hans_Henrik, see? edit eth0 or what.. | 23:01 |
| Hans_Henrik | BlackFate: strange, it doesn't look like that at me, but i found it, System->Perferences->Network Connections | 23:01 |
| BlackFate | Hans_Henrik, well.. dont know why.. | 23:02 |
| durt | booleancat, and now ifconfig says... | 23:02 |
| BlackFate | Hans_Henrik, edit your connection , enter your pass if it asks you and go to ipv4settings and set method tou manual | 23:02 |
| booleancat | Nothing changed. it says eth1 is still active on 192.168.100.1 (from the previous manual configuration) | 23:02 |
| sebsebseb | hi | 23:02 |
| candive | ewp, response to my command "ubuntuman@ubuntuman-laptop:~$" I believe it worked thanks again | 23:03 |
| Hans_Henrik | BlackFate: btw do u use jaunty? | 23:03 |
| durt | booleancat, try 'sudo ifconfig eth1 down' | 23:03 |
| BlackFate | Hans_Henrik, yes.. you are on hardy? | 23:03 |
| carl1408 | !pulseaudio | 23:03 |
| ubottu | PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions | 23:03 |
| ewp | candive, yep | 23:03 |
| Hans_Henrik | BlackFate: nope, januty too | 23:03 |
| candive | cool | 23:03 |
| ewp | so has anyone gotten splashy to work with jaunty? | 23:04 |
| carl1408 | I think pulseaudio is causing a problem for me? Should I try to just turn it off? | 23:04 |
| booleancat | Ok, now it works, even though "/etc/init.d/networking restart" says that it failed to bring up eth1 | 23:04 |
| carl1408 | How do I turn off pulseaudio? Just uninstall with apt-get? | 23:04 |
| Hans_Henrik | in editing network connections, what is "Search Domains"? | 23:04 |
| ax-ax | I'm afraid of pulse so i just kill it hard and uninstall it | 23:04 |
| durt | booleancat, parsing /etc/network/interfaces or another issue? | 23:05 |
| maritim | carl1408: I threatened it with a sledgehammer, and as a matter of fact it helped. However I'd recommend uninstalling it (sudo aptitude uninstall pulseaudio) and just reboot | 23:05 |

| mezy | I need help | 23:06 |
| mezy | I cant seem to get into my hdd which was being used by windows | 23:06 |
| booleancat | Though, after the "sudo ifconfig eth1 down", eth1 isn't listed. Then using "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" brings it back up | 23:07 |
| trism | booleancat: might get better information trying ifup -v eth1 and ifdown -v eth1 | 23:07 |
| maritim | mezy: what's the problem? | 23:07 |
| mezy | I don't really understand it | 23:07 |
| maritim | mezy: I suppose you've tried mounting it with the appropriate file system. | 23:07 |
| BlackFate | damn.. the screenshot was downloaded more by mac os X users than ubuntu users. is it a mac room or what? | 23:07 |
| === maritim is now known as Maritim | ||
| booleancat | trism: nope ;) | 23:07 |
| booleancat | but, it looks like it's working after adding the "auto eth1" line | 23:07 |
| lumi | hello | 23:08 |
| mezy | i forgot everything that is ubuntu | 23:08 |
| Maritim | mezy: do you know which address your harddrive has been allocated? | 23:08 |
| meoblast001 | hi, i'm trying to compile a program i made on my Jaunty system on my Intrepid system | 23:08 |
| booleancat | 2nd question: No matter what I try, I cannot get tftpd-hda to serve pxelinux.0 over PXE. Anyone have experience with this? | 23:08 |
| meoblast001 | i get this in configure ./configure: line 9420: `IT_PROG_INTLTOOL(0.35.0)' | 23:08 |
| mezy | Maritim: Do you mean the /dev/sda thingies? | 23:09 |
| meoblast001 | can i upgrade my autotools to the Jaunty version without getting problems? | 23:09 |
| Maritim | mezy: yes. | 23:09 |
| mezy | Can you tell me how to check that?? | 23:09 |
| Maritim | mezy: is it a scsi, sata or ide drive? | 23:09 |
| indicava | is it possible to manage eth0 in network-manager (dhcp enabled) and eth0:1 in /etc/network/interfaces as a static ip ? | 23:09 |
| mezy | Not sure which one it is | 23:09 |
| mezy | Ide is the new kind, right? | 23:10 |
| lstarnes | mezy: no, ide is old | 23:10 |
| mezy | OH | 23:10 |
| mezy | Wow | 23:10 |
| === ubuntu is now known as CaRSi | ||
| lstarnes | mezy: sata is newer and more commonly used | 23:10 |
| durt | booleancat, paste /etc/network/interfaces again, just to rule that out. | 23:10 |
| mezy | I guess it is sata | 23:10 |
| Maritim | mezy: dmesg | grep /dev/sd | 23:10 |
| lstarnes | mezy: scsi has been around for a while too | 23:10 |
| booleancat | durt, k. http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/274925/ | 23:11 |
| mezy | Uhm..What does that command do? | 23:11 |
| Maritim | mezy: it shows the startup log and grabs anything with /dev/sd in it and prints it for your eyes to read | 23:11 |
| lstarnes | mezy: it looks for any system messages matching /dev/sd | 23:11 |
| mezy | OH | 23:12 |
| mezy | Nothing should up | 23:12 |
| * booleancat wishes he could grep for his keys... </off_topic> | 23:12 | |
| mezy | I just need to get into the hdd | 23:12 |
| mezy | I have to move stuff out of it. | 23:12 |
| Maritim | mezy: yeah, well, we need to figure out where your hdd is so that we can mount it | 23:12 |
| mezy | ok | 23:12 |
| Maritim | mezy: that is what we are trying to do. Just do dmesg and tell me if you see anything related to sda, sdb or anything like that | 23:12 |
| ewp | mezy, what is your problem? | 23:13 |
| trism | why not do a sudo fdisk -l to list the partitions? | 23:13 |
| mezy | Ok.. | 23:13 |
| Maritim | trism: my bad. | 23:13 |
| Maritim | :P | 23:13 |
| durt | booleancat, eth1 looks good to me, eth0 needs 'iface eth0 inet dhcp' underneath auto eth0 to work. | 23:13 |
| mezy | Oh yeah | 23:13 |
| indicava | does anyone know if its possible to manage eth0 in network-manager (dhcp enabled) and eth0:1 in /etc/network/interfaces as a static ip ? | 23:13 |
| mezy | I remember that command, eermm. I recognize it at least | 23:13 |
| indicava | how can I choose which nics network-manager tries to manage automatically? | 23:14 |
| booleancat | durt, alright. It looks good now | 23:15 |
| erUSUL | indicava: if the nic has an entry in interfaces NM will ignore it | 23:15 |
| === TheS[away] is now known as TheS | ||
| mezy | So, if I type fdisk -l /dev/sd, will it show me that specific part? | 23:15 |
| Maritim | mezy: don't ask, try it | 23:15 |
| durt | booleancat, give it a try? working? | 23:15 |
| indicava | erUSUL: can I manage eth0 in NM and eth0:1 in interfaces file? | 23:16 |
| booleancat | the tftp thing? | 23:16 |
| mezy | Nothing showed up | 23:16 |
| erUSUL | indicava: that should be a really unsual config dunno if that is supported | 23:16 |
| mezy | I'm stuck..for a while | 23:16 |
| booleancat | or the /etc/init.d/networking thing? | 23:16 |
| carl1408 | I'm having trouble with skype, there's a hissing noise. I wonder if uplseaudio is the problem? | 23:16 |
| d4rkcrims0n | testing out my XChat. Can you read me, room? | 23:17 |
| durt | booleancat, whoa, what tftp thing? | 23:17 |
| indicava | erUSUL: it is a messy setup, can I trouble you with it for a second, been trying for ages to get this to work | 23:17 |
| trism | mezy: you can specify a device, such as /dev/sda or /dev/sdb, etc | 23:17 |
| migg137 | yess i can read | 23:17 |
| mezy | ok | 23:17 |
| d4rkcrims0n | Thank you. | 23:17 |
| erUSUL | indicava: ok; | 23:17 |
| booleancat | durt, I'm trying to get tftpd-hda to serve a pxelinux image, but I always get a "file not found" error | 23:17 |
| migg137 | hello i need to make my ubuntu partition larger | 23:17 |
| erUSUL | migg137: use gparted from a livecd | 23:18 |
| mezy | It says that it cannot open /dev/sda | 23:18 |
| Hans_Henrik | migg137: my suggestion would be UBCD, however theres probably alternatives that dont require a CD :p | 23:18 |
| booleancat | durt, the dhcp configuration seems right, but I just can't get it to find the files | 23:18 |
| mezy | I guess I'm screwed? | 23:18 |
| indicava | erUSUL: I have two computers hooked up to the same router, the router is connected to the internet, I want to computer A to access the internet through the router but have computer B access it through A. | 23:18 |
| migg137 | erSUL, thanks but how specifically | 23:18 |
| trism | mezy: you need to sudo | 23:18 |
| tiglionabbit2 | is it safe to try and dist upgrade from dapper drake to jaunty jackalope? | 23:18 |
| === hi is now known as Guest7600 | ||
| migg137 | Hans_Henrik, ok but how exactly.. i tried with no live cd and i didnt figure it out | 23:19 |
| LjL | tiglionabbit2: no | 23:19 |
| trism | mezy: sudo fdisk -l | 23:19 |
| LjL | !upgrade > tiglionabbit2 (tiglionabbit2, see the private message from ubottu) | 23:19 |
| durt | booleancat, ah, well nothing to do with getting eth1 up with static right, try restarting networking so you know that works. | 23:19 |
| trism | mezy: you can include a device if you want, but I can't imagine you have that many partitions that it'll be confusing | 23:19 |
| indicava | erUSUL: i already have a DHCP server setting comp. B with comp A's ip address as its def. GW | 23:19 |
| kiit | how can you play ".asx" file on firefox on Ubuntu 9.04? | 23:19 |
| erUSUL | migg137: if you have the room in your hard disk to expan the ubuntu parition you can do it with gparted (is a graphical app) from a livecd (the ubuntu desktop cd can be used) | 23:19 |
| d4rkcrims0n | How come everyone's sentences are cut off...is there no word wrap? | 23:19 |
| booleancat | durt, it does | 23:20 |
| mezy | Ok | 23:20 |
| Hans_Henrik | migg137: download & burn UBCD, start the Partision Manager, theres is a verry usefull GUI partision manager :p | 23:20 |
| durt | booleancat, cool | 23:20 |
| erUSUL | indicava: why not configure everything with interfaces ? | 23:20 |

| Hans_Henrik | ) | 23:20 |

| LjL | d4rkcrims0n: where? | 23:20 |
| migg137 | erSUL, also i wnated to install hackintosh.. how would i set that up in grub | 23:20 |
| erUSUL | !tab | migg137 | 23:20 |
| ubottu | migg137: You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 23:20 |

| CastilleV | Hey, if I remove the Ubuntu-desktop, it wont completely remove Gnome, will it? | 23:21 |
| erUSUL | migg137: the best option is to install wndows first and then ubuntu. if that is not possible you will have to restore grub after installing windows and then manually add windows to grub config | 23:21 |
| LjL | CastilleV: no, it won't. | 23:21 |
| LjL | kiit: yes, with kaffeine. | 23:21 |
| d4rkcrims0n | LjL, every sentence appears to truncate after so many words...it's completely random. | 23:21 |
| erUSUL | indicava: interfaces supports a dhcp configured interface | 23:22 |
| LjL | kiit: using xine as the engine. | 23:22 |
| kiit | LjL: ok let me try | 23:22 |
| CastilleV | KK, 'cause there's a lot I need to uninstall. Like the gnome-utils. | 23:22 |

| blip- | hi, if I don't have wifi switch turned on when I boot linux and then I turn it on after login... then the wifi light doesn't come up and I have to restart... i'm sure there's a way around this.... when I do "sudo ifup wlan0" I get --> "Ignoring unknown interface wlan0=wlan0 " any ideas ? thanks | 23:22 |
| migg137 | erUSUL: i already have windows and ubuntu dual boot... but wanted hackintosh | 23:22 |
| mezy | I just started gparted, and figured every thing out | 23:22 |
| indicava | erUSUL: true, but its a wifi connection and its so much more manageable through NM in the day to day | 23:22 |
| CastilleV | migg137, why not give BT3 a try? | 23:23 |
| migg137 | CastilleV: what is that | 23:23 |
| erUSUL | indicava: ahhh that explains everything... but... how does comp b connects to comp a ? | 23:23 |
| CastilleV | Backtrack 3. Its meant for penetration testing. | 23:23 |
| mezy | soo now, how do i force mount something? | 23:23 |
| kiit | LjL: is totem-mozilla the same package? | 23:23 |
| LjL | kiit: no | 23:23 |
| indicava | erUSUL: thrpough the router, comp. A has only one interface | 23:23 |
| booleancat | Does anyone here have experience setting up a PXE boot environment? I can't seem to get my tftp-hda configuration working | 23:23 |
| erUSUL | migg137: well i missunderstood dunno anything about hackintosh | 23:23 |
| kiit | LjL: which package is it then? | 23:24 |
| LjL | kiit: err, kaffeine. | 23:24 |
| booleancat | rather, tftp-hpa | 23:24 |
| migg137 | erUSUL, ok well im gona try the live cd to make the partition bigger and do the other stuff later... thanks | 23:24 |

| ubottu | hey_joe: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. | 23:27 |
| hey_joe | d4rkcrims0n: i remember a plugin caused alot of havoc for me with Xchat.. wouldnt start till i removed it... | 23:27 |
| erUSUL | indicava: so both machne a and machine b (or b's) connect to the same router via wireless) but you want machine b traffic to be routed through machine a | 23:27 |
| kevin|demarest | world.c:1:20: error: iostream: No such file or directory | 23:27 |
| kevin|demarest | any ideas? | 23:27 |
| indicava | erUSUL: exactly.. | 23:27 |
| [SD] | !ebox | 23:27 |
| ubottu | ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox | 23:27 |

| smooke | hola !! soy de venezuela y necesito montar un servidor wifi con pag web captiva y el software que tengo es zeroshell que otro software me recomiendas!!! | 23:30 |
| erUSUL | indicava: why not just make machines b default gw be machine a (instead of router) and configure machine a to route the traffic (do not ask me the configuration details though ;P) | 23:30 |
| erUSUL | !es | smooke | 23:30 |

| RegressLess | Is there a way to recover a file that's been deleted from the recycle bin? | 23:30 |
| erUSUL | !datarecovery | 23:30 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about datarecovery | 23:30 |
| smooke | ok!! | 23:30 |
| trism | kevin|demarest: sudo apt-get install libstdc++6-4.3-dev | 23:30 |
| hey_joe | perhaps something that will use the amavis daemon to scan traffic etc.. | 23:30 |
| smooke | wait!! | 23:30 |
| erUSUL | !undelete | RegressLess | 23:30 |
| ubottu | RegressLess: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel | 23:30 |
| RegressLess | erUSUL: what if it's been a while? | 23:31 |

| ctpwwner | am i leaving out an argument to gcc? | 23:31 |
| mezy | damn | 23:31 |
| erUSUL | RegressLess: very unlikely to succeed | 23:31 |
| jpds | ctpwwner: You forgot the 'tee' after the | ? | 23:31 |
| CastilleV | Why is there a package called "Adapt manager"? Would that make more software available for my already install Ubuntu? | 23:31 |
| Galban | smooke tambien puedes ir a ver en #ubuntu-ve | 23:32 |
| jpds | CastilleV: Because it's for KDE? | 23:32 |
| ctpwwner | jpds: would you mind refreshing me on the syntax for a 'tee'? doesnt that split the output to two places? | 23:32 |
| CastilleV | Ah, OK. | 23:32 |
| kevin|demarest | trism: libstdc++6-4.3-dev is already the newest version | 23:32 |
| erUSUL | CastilleV: adept is for kde | 23:32 |
| RegressLess | erUSUL: I deleted a .deb file that someone helped me make. I have the program installed. Is there a way to get the deb from an installed app? | 23:32 |
| smooke | I'm from Venezuela and I need to mount a server wifi with web pag captiva and zeroshell software I have is that other software do you recommend! | 23:32 |
| smooke | help me!! please | 23:32 |
| erUSUL | RegressLess: i do not know of any method | 23:33 |
| jpds | ctpwwner: Doesn't g++ Linked_List_Library.h 2&> "Error Log" - do it? | 23:33 |
| smooke | como?? | 23:33 |
| RegressLess | erUSUL: thanks anyway | 23:33 |
| trism | kevin|demarest: do you have /usr/include/c++/4.3/iostream | 23:33 |
| ctpwwner | in error log i get bash: 2: command not found | 23:33 |
| erUSUL | RegressLess: no problem | 23:34 |
| jpds | ctpwwner: &2> then. | 23:34 |
| geirha | ctpwwner: &> logfile | 23:34 |
| l2trace99 | anyone using the realtime kernel ? | 23:34 |
| CastilleV | Also, can some one explain to me why when I uninstall ubufox, my firefox acts up. | 23:34 |
| ctpwwner | jpds: syntax error | 23:35 |
| kevin|demarest | trism: I do. | 23:35 |
| lghtng | pls comment: http://donlindsay.wordpress.com/2009/09/20/it-takes-a-train-to-cry/ | 23:35 |
| ctpwwner | geirha: i just want standard error, not standard output aswell | 23:35 |

| d4rkcrims0n | I've been trying to get AA to run for quite some time with no luck. | 23:37 |
| aleron | does anybody know how to stop the update manager from poping up constantly | 23:37 |
| ctpwwner | geirha: g++ is outputing multiple errors with Linked_list_lib.h and the logfile is remaining empty | 23:37 |
| geirha | ctpwwner: You don't compile headerfiles, you compile source code. .cpp or .cc files | 23:38 |
| ewp | aleron, go to update tab in system > admin > software sources | 23:38 |
| trism | kevin|demarest: what command are you using to compile it? | 23:39 |
| OerHeks | software patents | 23:39 |
| kevin|demarest | trism: I tried gcc world.c and gcc world.c -o world | 23:39 |
| OerHeks | lghtng: difference USA <> europe, we do not have software patents | 23:39 |
| ctpwwner | geirha: if in said sourcedoe i have an #include <Linked_List_lib>, it will merge the header file into the source code prior to compilation right? | 23:40 |
| CastilleV | Eh well, I have an Acer aspire 5610. So its a few years old, and I am going to just install some lightweight software. | 23:40 |
| CastilleV | Maybe install XFCE or LXDE. | 23:40 |
| CastilleV | Probably LXDE. | 23:40 |
| trism | kevin|demarest: g++ -o world world.c | 23:40 |
| geirha | ctpwwner: The preprosessor will replace #include's with the files' content, yes. | 23:40 |
| trism | kevin|demarest: then run with ./world | 23:41 |
| ctpwwner | :) thank you | 23:41 |
| ctpwwner | just to clear this up: this is different from linking correct? | 23:41 |
| ctpwwner | geirha: linking would concatenating multiple "file".o files right? | 23:42 |
| Cpudan80 | ctpwwner: linking pulls in the libraries you request, it is done automatically by g++, you only have to link libraries that are not standard (or not common) | 23:43 |
| kevin|demarest | trism: that worked, thank you | 23:43 |
| geirha | ctpwwner: If you want to make a shared library from your .cpp file, you'd do something like: g++ -shared -o libhello.so hello.cpp | 23:43 |
| lghtng | there are many claims that software patent stifle innovation and harm the market, while im not quite ready to swallow that pill, i do think that there is some code that can be protected and alot of it that is based on pretty impossible claims | 23:43 |
| erUSUL | !ot | lghtng | 23:44 |

| LjL | would you bring the patents discussion to #ubunu-offtopic? | 23:44 |
| trism | kevin|demarest: np | 23:44 |

| jff | erUSUL: a "solution" file is the name of it, but I think that's the idea. (: | 23:51 |
