| craigbass1976 | or can I boot to a live ubuntu cd, install avg for linux, and scan that way? | 00:03 |
| ctmjr | Xodiac13: did you install any drivers from ati's website? | 00:03 |
| erUSUL | craigbass1976: you can use the desktop cd install clamav and run it | 00:03 |
| === ballzee is now known as Sinister | ||
| Xodiac13 | ctmjr: no i havent tried that yet and when i followed the instructions on the site that i gave you i uninstalled them in the hardware devices | 00:03 |
| craigbass1976 | erUSUL, clam av hasn't got a very good detection rate last I knew | 00:03 |

| wamty | ideas? | 00:04 |
| === ben is now known as Guest25284 | ||
| LjL | IpSe_DiXiT: whatever you want. that "old laptop" is more powerful than my main desktop computer. | 00:04 |
| erUSUL | IpSe_DiXiT: 780 mb ram is enough for ubuntu althought i guess that xubuntu may run better | 00:04 |
| OerHeks | IpSe-DiXiT: does it boot from USB ? | 00:04 |
| ctmjr | Xodiac13: ok so now you have no gui and the open source driver is not working? | 00:05 |
| Ravi | anyone here knows how tu put more then on distro on a usb flash disk (pendrive)? | 00:05 |
| wamty | Shortly after starting the install I get "Call Trace:" and then "Code: e6 01 00 90 etc" | 00:05 |
| Xodiac13 | ctmjr: no i have a gui my catalyst control center isnt there and the source driver is install i have direct when it shows me yes but i was trying to get a better way of using my video card instead of the hardware device ones | 00:06 |
| IpSe_DiXiT | erUSUL: so ur anyway sticking to *ubuntu, no slack? no deb? no other distros? | 00:06 |
| erUSUL | IpSe_DiXiT: this is #ubuntu what did you expect ? | 00:06 |
| IpSe_DiXiT | erUSUL: experience? :D | 00:07 |
| LjL | IpSe_DiXiT: this is Ubuntu support. feel free to ask for general distribution advice in #ubuntu-offtopic | 00:07 |
| wamty | Shortly after starting the install I get "Call Trace:" and then "Code: e6 01 00 90 etc" | 00:07 |
| dekkong | oops ... I messed up my sources.list is there anyway to fix it? :P | 00:08 |
| Xodiac13 | ctmjr: from my experience on getting the drivers from the site they never work | 00:08 |
| losher | IpSe_DiXiT: you want a lot for your dime... | 00:08 |
| IpSe_DiXiT | erUSUL: i run ubuntu on my desktop since a while and its great, but i tried to install it on another laptop and.................. | 00:08 |
| Xodiac13 | ctmjr: on the ati site | 00:08 |
| ctmjr | Xodiac13: if you uninstalled the fglrx driver from ati you also got rid of the catalyst control center which is only used for the fglrx driver not the open source one | 00:08 |
| IpSe_DiXiT | losher: do i? doestn seem like that to me :D i just made one question though ehehhe | 00:08 |
| erUSUL | dekkong: system>Adminstration>Software Sources | 00:08 |
| trism | IpSe_DiXiT: ubuntu runs fine on this old laptop, just need to pick a different window manager | 00:08 |

| epimeth | aloha! does anyone know how to connect to a WPA2-PSK network using the command line? google has been a dead end | 00:10 |
| Xodiac13 | ctmjr: i want to get fglrx pretty much from the first earlier this morning i uninstalled the hardware device one which came with the catalyst and i had 3d my propblem was when i was using playonlinux to play my windows games and i did check the winehq database and it should work my video card when i run like steam and all it starts to flicker on my screen as its loading so i think it has to do with my video card but in the mean time i trie | 00:10 |
| Xodiac13 | d the website i gave you and tried that and it went to crap im trying to get the most out of my video card because im a gamer | 00:10 |
| IpSe_DiXiT | trism: so u suggest another wm, alright | 00:11 |
| IpSe_DiXiT | losher: no, id prefer a usb-pendrive one | 00:11 |
| jamiewan_ | Americas Army Anyone, i downloaded the latest file armyops250linux.run but it just wont install, | 00:11 |
| comicinker | RaviResck: you will probably use a special boot loader menu. some newspaper use them. some of these bootloaders are commercial, I think. | 00:11 |
| RaviResck | comicinker u think grub do the job? | 00:12 |
| Xodiac13 | ctmjr: there is no output | 00:12 |
| === Sega is now known as Sega_Dude | ||

| IpSe_DiXiT | erUSUL: alright alright, there's no need to get charged up :D | 00:12 |
| comicinker | RaviResck: I have no idea. grub is quite configurable. but there are more bootloaders | 00:12 |

| Sega_Dude | I need to fix the dpkg was interruped error | 00:13 |
| erUSUL | IpSe_DiXiT: just trying to say that if you want to experiment you are free to do so. Linux is about choice | 00:13 |
| woodyjlw | 9.04 broke a lot of stuff on my pc. switched back to 8.10 and all is fixed...my ati works now and my touchpad and even my wireless broadcom has better connections.why did 9.04 break so many things? | 00:14 |
| comicinker | Sega_Dude: did you try dpkg -i ? | 00:14 |
| IpSe_DiXiT | erUSUL: dont worry about it man :D i was kiddin to, i imagined u didnt mean to be mean :D itz alright | 00:14 |
| Sega_Dude | No. Ill try that. | 00:15 |
| ctmjr | Xodiac13: can you pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file | 00:15 |
| Xodiac13 | ctmjr: k | 00:15 |
| Xodiac13 | ctmjr: http://pastebin.com/m4c46aa2f | 00:16 |
| Xodiac13 | ctmjr: it was empty and on the website i had to add it | 00:16 |
| usser | woodyjlw, in the graphics department the blame is squarely on ati, as for the rest ubuntu is moving away from proprietary drivers as fast as possible, my guess is your broadcom card was using an opensource driver in 9.04 which isnt quite there yet | 00:17 |
| Jorik1 | craigbass1976: You may also try bitdefender for unices | 00:17 |
| Moon_Doggy | i dont need a language selector do i | 00:17 |
| comicinker | !generic | 00:18 |
| ubottu | Background to the decision to replace -686, k7 and -smp kernels with -generic can be found here https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2006-August/019983.html (the -386 kernel is still available if needed) | 00:18 |
| comicinker | oh | 00:18 |
| Sega_Dude | Anyone kno how to get wireless to work on a ps3 running 8.10? | 00:18 |
| losher | IpSe_DiXiT: well xubuntu's designed for low end hardware... A comparison between ubuntu/bsd/dsl etc. is probably offtopic... | 00:19 |
| woodyjlw | usser ok so from 9.04 on up the task is to work on the open source drivers and away from proprietary drivers. so I am probably better off staying with 8.10 for awhile till they improve the open source? | 00:19 |
| === azarion is now known as anahel | ||
| quickstart | hello everyone | 00:20 |
| ctmjr | Xodiac13: do you want the radeonhd driver or the fglrx driver or just want it to work? | 00:20 |
| quickstart | quick question if I may | 00:20 |
| Xodiac13 | ctmjr: i want both | 00:21 |
| Xodiac13 | ctmjr: im a gamer and i want to get the best out of my 3d | 00:21 |
| Moon_Doggy | i'm uninstalling things i don't need so do i need a language selector | 00:21 |
| comicinker | !ask | quickstart | 00:21 |
| usser | woodyjlw, yes the support is constantly improving, the opensource intel wifi drivers are great on 2.6.30 kernel which i believe is the one karmic koala is using, im sure other drivers has gotten significant overhaul. Still dont hope for your graphics to work if you have even a semi-old ati card. | 00:21 |
| ubottu | quickstart: 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. :-) | 00:21 |
| quickstart | ok thanks ubottu | 00:21 |
| br34l | *giggles* | 00:21 |
| quickstart | I just installed 9.04 using wubi | 00:21 |
| quickstart | its on a second harddrive | 00:22 |
| armaguedon | alguien habla | 00:22 |
| Sega_Dude | quickstart: Im good with wubi | 00:22 |
| armaguedon | espanol | 00:22 |
| losher | !es | armaguedon | 00:22 |
| ubottu | armaguedon: 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. | 00:22 |
| quickstart | is it possible that after the installation that the computer will become a multiboot? | 00:22 |
| quickstart | sweet Sega_Dude | 00:22 |
| quickstart | so maybe you can guide me from here | 00:22 |
| woodyjlw | usser im on an hp laptop with 200m so I doubt it will have the overhaul I will need....how long before they stop suport of 8.10? | 00:22 |
| Sega_Dude | It sould quickstart | 00:22 |
| ctmjr | Xodiac13: edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and add this under driver/ Option "AccelMethod" "EXA" | 00:23 |
| Xodiac13 | ctmjr: okay | 00:23 |
| usser | woodyjlw, i believe its a year of support. that means in october | 00:23 |
| usser | woodyjlw, 8.04 will be supported till 2011 | 00:23 |
| Sega_Dude | comicinker: I tryed dpkg -1 and it says i need superuser privilge | 00:24 |
| ctmjr | Xodiac13: then restart X | 00:24 |
| Xodiac13 | ctmjr: can you help me reinstall the driver period so there is no problem please | 00:24 |
| woodyjlw | I may stick with 8.04 then till all the other drivers get fixed then | 00:24 |
| Xodiac13 | ctmjr: instead of the hardware drivers | 00:24 |
| quickstart | well my question is this | 00:25 |
| quickstart | if I install using wubi on another hdd | 00:25 |
| losher | woodyjlw: that's my plan too. Maybe by 2011 sound on 9.04 will work,.... | 00:25 |
| quickstart | and I reboot | 00:25 |
| comicinker | Sega_Dude: first: it was dpkg -i, not dpkg -1; second: it needs superuser? give it with sudo; third: I told you crap. maybe sudo dpkg --configure -a will do the job | 00:25 |
| quickstart | what will happen? | 00:25 |
| quickstart | will grub take over my machine ? | 00:26 |
| quickstart | the second hdd is a slave and the first is a windblows master | 00:26 |
| Sega_Dude | quickstart: No | 00:26 |
| quickstart | ok will it not boot into ubuntu? | 00:26 |
| ctmjr | Xodiac13: if you have a gui and your xorg.conf file show's radeonhd as the driver then you are using the open source driver not the hardware driver which is the fglrx driver | 00:27 |
| woodyjlw | usser well thanks for the info :) that helps me to plan what I need to stick with for now and I will have to try to keep myself up to date with what drivers I need that are being improved before I upgrade | 00:27 |
| comicinker | quickstart: installing ubuntu by using wubi won't install grub. it will modify your windows bootloader in first place. | 00:27 |
| usser | woodyjlw, no problem | 00:27 |
| quickstart | it will install ubuntu onto the bootloader? | 00:27 |
| === Shirakawasuna2 is now known as Shirakawasuna | ||

| Xodiac13 | ctmjr: thats wierd because when i first did it it said it wasnt able to download it and now it is its updateing | 00:30 |
| usser | Chetic, bad cd, bad cd-rom, hdd might be dying, some external cd dont adhere to standards completely | 00:30 |
| Xodiac13 | ctmjr: crap now its doing a partial upgrade do you think thats going to fix my problem | 00:30 |
| comicinker | it could be also a heat problem on your hd | 00:31 |
| usser | *external cd-roms | 00:31 |
| Xodiac13 | ctmjr: nm it didnt work | 00:31 |
| Chetic | Sounds like the hdd then. The drive's pretty fresh and I've tried with 3 different discs | 00:31 |
| ctmjr | Xodiac13: i have no idea what file from that ppa are you installing? | 00:31 |
| Chetic | Time to upgrade I guess | 00:31 |
| comicinker | Chetic: if it is a optical drive, the medium might be scrached | 00:31 |
| usser | quickstart, there are a number of options, vlc is probably the easiest to setup, theres also icecast, but thats only for audio | 00:31 |

| zamba | visualize my network design | 00:31 |
| quickstart | ok so I can use icecast for audio | 00:32 |
| Chetic | What device does sr0 refer to? | 00:32 |
| usser | quickstart, definetely | 00:32 |

| quickstart | what I mean is that windows is running | 00:33 |
| Sp3c1alK | in crontab, what is the first number? | 00:34 |
| usser | quickstart, as a main OS? | 00:34 |
| Sega_Dude | quickstart: Wubi isnt virtlization | 00:34 |
| quickstart | no as the os that is running | 00:34 |
| quickstart | ok what I mean is Windows is selected as the running operating system | 00:34 |
| quickstart | in the boot menu | 00:34 |
| ctmjr | Xodiac13: just forget about that ppa for now and add that line to xorg.conf file then restart X | 00:35 |

| Sp3c1alK | I've read the documentation on crontab | 00:38 |
| comicinker | Sega_Dude: I try hard, but it's difficult ;) | 00:39 |
| Sp3c1alK | still having problems | 00:39 |
| Xodiac13 | ctmjr: im back that messed everything up when i just now tried playing a game do you think if i were to go to ubuntu 9.10 that it would solve me problem | 00:39 |
| Sp3c1alK | if I want a shell script to run, do I need to include the '.' in front of teh command? | 00:39 |
| Sp3c1alK | ie ./home/backups/dailyBackup.sh | 00:39 |
| chibihogoshino | ok, so samba has been a bit off in Nautilus in that i could not see other computers on the network if i went to the network option. now for some reason i can see them, but if i mount a drive Nautilus crashes and all the icons on my desktop vanish. when i open the dir from Nautilus all the icons pop back up | 00:39 |

| Lenin_Cat | erm | 00:40 |
| Lenin_Cat | my live cd | 00:40 |
| Lenin_Cat | isnt installing right | 00:40 |
| comicinker | Sp3c1alK: it must be executable, too. chmod +x dailyBackup.sh | 00:40 |
| quickstart | ok now here is the rub | 00:40 |
| Lenin_Cat | is there a way to install from the internets | 00:40 |
| LjL | Lenin_Cat: try all on one line | 00:40 |
| LjL | !minimal | Lenin_Cat | 00:40 |
| ubottu | Lenin_Cat: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 00:40 |
| quickstart | What I want to do is stream and control the stream from any computer in the house | 00:40 |
| quickstart | regardless if it uses ubuntu or not | 00:40 |
| Sp3c1alK | I did | 00:40 |
| Lenin_Cat | LjL: im on a livecd right now | 00:40 |
| Sp3c1alK | some people think I need to be root ro edit crontab | 00:40 |
| usser | quickstart, ^^ | 00:40 |
| Lenin_Cat | but it didnt install the data correctly | 00:40 |
| Xodiac13 | ctmjr: do you think im better with going to ubuntu 8.10 | 00:40 |
| Sp3c1alK | do I HAVE to be root to edit crontab? | 00:41 |
| comicinker | Sp3c1alK: /path/to/./script is also possible (but different) | 00:41 |
| quickstart | so that package will work better than icecast sweet | 00:41 |
| LjL | Lenin_Cat: i got that. | 00:41 |
| Sega_Dude | comicinker: Thanks! Your the first one that gave me the fix! | 00:41 |
| ctmjr | Xodiac13: it does have better support for ati cards | 00:41 |
| Xodiac13 | ctmjr: im screwed do you think i have a better chance at installing the one at the ati website | 00:41 |
| Lenin_Cat | LjL: can I do this from the livecd without having to go to my laptop and burn it again | 00:42 |
| Lenin_Cat | :P | 00:42 |
| comicinker | Sega_Dude: please remember the command. sudo dpkg --configure -a write it down or something. I can't remember all that stuff too, so I wrote it down... | 00:42 |
| LjL | Lenin_Cat: no, you need to burn again. | 00:42 |
| Sega_Dude | Now if i could only get the wireless to work. | 00:42 |
| Lenin_Cat | :< | 00:42 |
| ctmjr | Xodiac13: did you download it yet? | 00:42 |
| Xodiac13 | ctmjr: im downloading it right now and its almost done | 00:42 |
| comicinker | Sega_Dude: did you tried the restricted drivers? | 00:43 |
| Xodiac13 | ctmjr: its done | 00:43 |

| DeathMetalDean | comicinker, thanks :) | 00:52 |
| RegressLess | I, not thinking, named my pc and netbook the same. I think it's causing network issues. How do I change one of their names? | 00:52 |
| rizwan | and i don't know anything about Ubuntu | 00:52 |
| Xodiac13 | ctmjr: you there | 00:52 |
| damion_dark8 | i dont know anything either. | 00:52 |
| rizwan | My Ubuntu is very slow | 00:52 |
| rizwan | specially the Boot | 00:52 |
| damion_dark8 | but i like the feel of it. | 00:52 |
| rizwan | it takes more than 7 mins | 00:52 |
| kermit | my boot is all weird.. gdm doesnt run by default, i have to login as root to run it.. and when i do log in to gnome, pidgin and skype run automaticly but i dont want them to. where is all this set so i can fix it? | 00:52 |
| jamiewan_ | rizwan: just ask your question and wait | 00:52 |
| damion_dark8 | damn, mine only takes like 4 | 00:52 |
| ctmjr | Xodiac13: ok write this down, press ctrl+alt+f1 then /ect/init.d/gdm stop then sudo sh./runfile.run then sudo aticonfig --initial then restart your box | 00:53 |
| ewp | kermit, system > prefs > startup apps | 00:53 |
| damion_dark8 | how do you change servers in this irc client? i want to go to freenode.net | 00:53 |
| Xodiac13 | ctmjr: okay | 00:53 |
| Lenin_Cat | LjL: wait, dose the minimal cd work with wireless? | 00:53 |
| ctmjr | Xodiac13: *sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 00:53 |
| jamiewan_ | damion_dark8: xchat-new server tab | 00:53 |
| LjL | Lenin_Cat: i don't know. probably not | 00:53 |
| comicinker | !hostname | RegressLess | 00:53 |
| ubottu | RegressLess: Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. Alternatively, use the gui at System > Administration > Networking on the "General" tab | 00:53 |
| Lenin_Cat | :< | 00:53 |
| kermit | ewp: skype and pidgin are not in there.. yet they run anyway. gdm isnt in there, i guess i should 'add' it? | 00:54 |
| rizwan | My Ubuntu take 7 mins to boot: Please help | 00:54 |
| LjL | Lenin_Cat: that is, not without tweaking config files a lot anyway. | 00:54 |
| ewp | kermit, no | 00:54 |
| Lenin_Cat | waa | 00:54 |
| comicinker | carl1408: do you get this message after a reboot? | 00:54 |
| kermit | ewp: i've been on linux servers 10 years, i know my way around everything except the GUI stuff. where everything starts and is set and stuff in X windows i dont understand. | 00:54 |

| quickstart | well people take it easy and thanks for the help | 00:56 |

| jamiewan_ | damion_dark8: Ubuntu | 00:56 |
| rizwan | i just installed it somehow, know nothing and need help | 00:56 |
| ctmjr | LjL: a nokia fan :) | 00:56 |
| damion_dark8 | is that the command line behind the shell? | 00:56 |
| LjL | (that was intended as a command, by the way) | 00:56 |
| damion_dark8 | i mean, is that the command line behind the GUI? | 00:57 |
| ewp | kermit, well check your .xsession and .bash* script to see if pidgin/skype are being setup there, otherwise i think you may find autostartup configs in the gconf-editor (idk where tho) | 00:57 |
| jamiewan_ | damion_dark8: yes so ive been told | 00:57 |
| LjL | !packaging | benc | 00:57 |
| ubottu | benc: The packaging guide is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages for information on getting a package integrated into Ubuntu - Other developer resources are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment - See also !backports | 00:57 |
| ctmjr | LjL: yes i know / | 00:57 |
| kermit | ewp: .bash* only runs when i open a terminal, right? | 00:57 |
| damion_dark8 | 0oo... interesting. ubuntu is very mysterious. | 00:57 |
| kermit | ewp: i have no .xsession | 00:57 |
| comicinker | kermit: you can load your .bashrc in a terminal with source .bashrc | 00:58 |
| jamiewan_ | damion_dark8: Its great | 00:58 |
| kermit | comicinker: i'm trying to figure out why pidgin runs when i login to gnome | 00:58 |
| ewp | kermit, as for gdm you need to run the update-rc.d on /etc/init.d/gdm | 00:58 |
| Alan502 | Greetings :) will someone help me editing my fstab file? please | 00:58 |
| comicinker | kermit: did you save your session ones? | 00:58 |
| damion_dark8 | how do I talk specifically to you, i see you're prefixing your statement with my user name. | 00:59 |
| ewp | kermit, there's one for on login, i forget hold on | 00:59 |
| LjL | damion_dark8: just prefix it | 00:59 |
| LjL | !tab | damion_dark8 | 00:59 |
| ubottu | damion_dark8: 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. | 00:59 |
| jamiewan_ | damion_dark8: just type afew letters of their handle and then use tab button | 00:59 |
| kermit | ewp: what exactly do i do with update-rc.d? | 00:59 |
| comicinker | Alan502: what do you want to mount? | 01:00 |
| damion_dark8 | jamiewan hi | 01:00 |

| damion_dark8 | yeah i see that | 01:01 |
| sebsebseb | !ask | rizwan | 01:01 |
| ubottu | rizwan: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 01:01 |
| damion_dark8 | im gonna try to join the jungleflasher room. | 01:01 |
| damion_dark8 | its on freenode.net | 01:01 |

| ewp | kermit, sudo update-rc.d gdm defaults | 01:02 |
| LjL | asjdkha: please, don't repeat that text | 01:02 |
| carl1408_ | I seem to have NetworkManager and nm-applet both running. Which one is supposed to be used in ubuntu 9.04? | 01:02 |
| rizwan | I am sorry | 01:02 |
| sebsebseb | rizwan: More than 7 minutes to boot up Ubuntu? | 01:02 |
| LjL | !exploit | asjdkha | 01:02 |
| ubottu | asjdkha: There are people around who think it is funny to abuse a bug in certain routers by sending invalid DCC commands. When bitten by this bug ops in #ubuntu remove users so they are no longer targets. To fix it have a look here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixDCCExploit | 01:02 |
| rizwan | yeah | 01:02 |

| rizwan | jamiewan can i chat with you only | 01:06 |
| LjL | !exploit > RegressLess (RegressLess, see the private message from ubottu) | 01:06 |
| comicinker | Alan502: well, the smaller one is that your home directory will be completely crowded with hidden files, which are not hidden in windows. a bigger problems, that the file permissions are lost in windows, which can cause serious privacy and security problems | 01:06 |
| jamiewan_ | rizwan: is it duel boot system | 01:06 |
| rizwan | no | 01:06 |
| damion_dark8 | i installed ubuntu so i could use aircrack-ng | 01:06 |
| jamiewan_ | rizwan: so just ubuntu then | 01:07 |
| RegressLess | LjL: groovy | 01:07 |
| rizwan | yes | 01:07 |
| rizwan | only Ubuntu | 01:07 |
| rizwan | 9.04 | 01:07 |

| FloodBot2 | rizwan: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 01:07 |

| ScottNYC | who is "somebody"? | 01:08 |
| Alan502 | comicinker: well... what i basically want to do is to be able to have the same music when i go to the music folder in windows or ubuntu or documents or images.. do you recommend something else then? | 01:08 |
| damion_dark8 | i keep seeing that word,...sudo | 01:08 |
| ScottNYC | a guy names "somebody" tryied sending me a keylogger just now | 01:08 |
| RegressLess | ScottNYC: cancel that | 01:08 |
| sivel | sudo = super user do | 01:08 |

| phix | When abouts in October does the next release come out? | 01:09 |
| LjL | !karmic | phix | 01:09 |
| ubottu | phix: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 29th, 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 | 01:09 |
| ctmjr | !sudo | damion_dark8 | 01:09 |
| ubottu | damion_dark8: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) | 01:09 |
| damion_dark8 | o000 | 01:09 |
| comicinker | Alan502: you can use softlinks to your music folder on the windows partition. drag and drop with <alt> pressed to get that option | 01:09 |
| Cpudan80 | LjL: Karmic Will break? | 01:09 |
| phix | it will break? | 01:09 |
| damion_dark8 | super user = administrator ? | 01:09 |
| rizwan | it ran faster when i used it first on a usb flash drive | 01:09 |
| jamiewan_ | rizwan: i'd reinstall it if you can. that seems a long time to boot for some reason, mine takes about 2 mins | 01:09 |
| rizwan | you are lucky | 01:09 |
| phix | damion_dark8: super user? | 01:09 |
| LjL | Cpudan80, phix: the bot means that using it NOW it will break. | 01:09 |
| Cpudan80 | oh | 01:10 |
| Boffo | i need some help with partitioning my hard drive | 01:10 |
| Cpudan80 | makes sense | 01:10 |
| phix | LjL: ah ok, thank you buddy | 01:10 |
| comicinker | Alan502: 1. drag and drop; 2. press alt; 3. release mouse button | 01:10 |
| lstarnes | damion_dark8: it also means root | 01:10 |
| Alan502 | softlinks? like.. shortcuts? | 01:10 |
| damion_dark8 | is a super user the same thing as an administrator? | 01:10 |
| jamiewan_ | rizwan: and thats from pressing the power button | 01:10 |
| sebsebseb | rizwan: Ext4 will speed boot up by a lot, but it can be a bit dodgy in 9.04 still, for example a lock up issue maybe when deleting big files, it is the default file system for the next one though :) | 01:10 |
| damion_dark8 | 0o. | 01:10 |
| rizwan | jamiewan, isn't there anything i can do other than a reinstall | 01:10 |
| comicinker | Alan502: similar, but better | 01:10 |
| Alan502 | huh? ok will try it | 01:10 |
| Alan502 | thanks :D | 01:10 |
| rizwan | okay | 01:10 |
| damion_dark8 | so sudo is a command to run programs from the root directory. | 01:10 |
| rizwan | i think i have Ext3 | 01:10 |
| LjL | damion_dark8: no | 01:10 |
| sebsebseb | rizwan: you will have by default | 01:10 |
| Templar_Xion1 | So I have a wireless PCMCIA card but it's appearing as an eth1 dev not a wlan1 dev. (Cisco aironet 340) | 01:11 |
| n-iCe | hi, to install ext4 what should I create? | 01:11 |
| rizwan | ok | 01:11 |
| n-iCe | just a ext4 called / and swap? | 01:11 |
| LjL | damion_dark8: it's a matter of privileges, not the directory things are run from. | 01:11 |
| jamiewan_ | rizwan: see sebsebseb comment up a few lines | 01:11 |
| sebsebseb | n-iCe: uhmm see what I just said to rizwan regarding Ext4 | 01:11 |
| damion_dark8 | o00. i am going to go read the help file you sent me. | 01:11 |
| damion_dark8 | brb | 01:11 |
| rizwan | how can i have Ext4 | 01:11 |
| Alan502 | Boffo, may i help? | 01:11 |
| Templar_Xion1 | How can I get the system to recognize the PCMCIA wireless card a a wireless device? | 01:11 |
| BWARG | download the package | 01:11 |
| sebsebseb | rizwan: manually partitioning that's how | 01:12 |
| Boffo | when i try to partition my hard drive, i get this error | 01:12 |
| Boffo | http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/3995/screenshotinformationab.png | 01:12 |
| rizwan | ok | 01:12 |
| lakotajames | my friend has a problem where firefox won't refresh pages. I told her to clear the cache, and that worked once, but after refreshing once it stopped working again. help? | 01:12 |
| n-iCe | sorry just get to irc | 01:12 |
| rizwan | and that'll fix my problem for sure | 01:12 |
| terravictor | ss | 01:12 |
| n-iCe | you use ext4 sebsebseb? | 01:12 |
| sebsebseb | n-iCe: yes | 01:12 |
| rizwan | one more question. how long the installation procedure normally takes | 01:12 |
| comicinker | Boffo: you should run fsck on windows on that drive | 01:12 |
| lluad | lakotajames: Check the date and time on the box. | 01:12 |
| mrwes | rizwan, hrm...20-30 minutes | 01:12 |
| jamiewan_ | rizwan: 15-20 mins | 01:13 |
| n-iCe | sebsebseb what are the partitions i should create | 01:13 |
| lstarnes | rizwan: no more than one hour | 01:13 |
| Boffo | okay thanks, i assume thats ran from cmd? | 01:13 |
| rizwan | ok guys | 01:13 |
| rizwan | let me do that again then | 01:13 |
| rizwan | thank u v.v. much | 01:13 |
| comicinker | Boffo: better that way | 01:13 |
| lakotajames | lluad: it's correct. | 01:13 |
| Boffo | okay, im going to switch back to windows, ill get back on if i have anymore problems. thanks! | 01:13 |
| sebsebseb | n-iCe rizwan: used to run 9.04 with Ext4 on here, then put Karmic alpha 4 on. and the other computer when I re installed and put 9.04 on yep Ext4, but, because of the kernel that's in 9.04 and stuff like that, it can be a little dodgy, so any important data should be backed up, if going to do it, but should be doing that anyway since hard disks can just fail | 01:14 |
| comicinker | Boffo: happy to see you soon | 01:14 |
| n-iCe | sebsebseb well im going to format, so no files to back up | 01:14 |
| n-iCe | I just need to know the partitions, I think a / mounted as ext4 and the swap partition would be ok, no? | 01:14 |
| sebsebseb | n-iCe: / a swap maybe, and a seperate /home maybe | 01:15 |
| n-iCe | aaa /home | 01:15 |
| monostone | I'm having difficulties setting up djbdns,dnscache and tinydns. First problem is I moved the ./main log dir to /var/log, changed permissions accordingly but tail -f /var/log/dnscache/current doesn't show any activity anymore, same goes for the tinydns log dir. I made the change to the /log/run file feeding multilog the new location, and restarted the service, am i missing anything? | 01:15 |
| damion_dark8 | so whenever i start graphical applications i use gksudo? | 01:19 |
| n8tuser | monostone-> you have an entry in your syslog.conf ? which is what? | 01:19 |
| sebsebseb | damion_dark8: whenever you want a graphical app to have sudo you use gksudo yes | 01:19 |
| monostone | n8tuser, no new entries in syslog | 01:21 |
| damion_dark8 | whenever i want a graphical application to have superuser privileges (ie root), i use gksudo instead of sudo. | 01:21 |
| sebsebseb | damion_dark8: yes | 01:21 |
| Boffo | hello it's boffo again, im back on windows, although i cant seem to run the "fsck" command | 01:21 |
| n8tuser | monostone-> if no entry within syslog.conf , how do you expect the syslogd to insert log entries? | 01:21 |
| tomas_ | Hiii | 01:22 |
| tomas_ | There are of this type of chat in Spanish | 01:22 |
| tomas_ | ???? | 01:22 |
| mrwes | !es | 01:22 |
| 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. | 01:22 |
| n8tuser | Boffo-> fsck is unix/linux command not a windows | 01:22 |
| Alan502 | n8tuser: just wanted to tell you i was the one with the partition problems yesterday. The only solution i found was complete partitioning | 01:22 |
| Boffo | so i should run chksdk? | 01:22 |
| monostone | n8tuser, first the dnscache log is owned by user: dnslog, and logging is redirected as I specified to /var/log/dnscache/. Why should syslog be recording anything? | 01:22 |
| tomas_ | ubottu Thanks!!! | 01:22 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about Thanks!!! | 01:22 |
| n8tuser | Alan502-> oh okay, a new install resolved it? | 01:22 |
| mrwes | Danada | 01:23 |
| n8tuser | monostone-> whats the perms on /var/log ? can anyone write to that dir? | 01:23 |
| comicinker | Boffo: oh, I forgot. it is call chkdsk | 01:23 |
| monostone | n8tuser, logging was working correctly in its original location /etc/dnscache/log/main/ I just moved the folder, maintaining permissions, and edited the /log/run file accordingly | 01:23 |
| Boffo | okay thank you, i was running it earlier, but i stopped in the middle cuz... i forgot. but ill give it another try | 01:24 |
| comicinker | Boffo: maybe you will have to type in something like chkdsk -f c: | 01:24 |
| n8tuser | monostone-> look at the perms on /var/log/ dir and is your user dnslog able to write or not? | 01:24 |
| comicinker | Boffo: no. chkdsk c: /f | 01:24 |
| monostone | n8tuser, the log folder is owned by root | 01:25 |
| n8tuser | monostone-> correct, and does user dnslog have same priviledge? | 01:25 |
| damion_dark8 | i saved aircrack-ng-1.0.tar.gz | 01:25 |
| booleancat | Bah, so I've pretty much solved all of my other problems with PXE, but now I'm running into a weird problem with mounting an nfs share. No matter what I try, I get the error "mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting 192.168.100.1:/cluster_nodes" is this likely a problem with /etc/exports, or /etc/hosts.deny? | 01:25 |
| Boffo | Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another | 01:25 |
| Boffo | process. Would you like to schedule this volume to be | 01:25 |
| Boffo | checked the next time the system restarts? (Y/N) | 01:25 |
| damion_dark8 | what do i do with tar.gz files? | 01:25 |
| matthew1 | so...I can't grab and move my panels. is there a key I need to be pressing? | 01:26 |
| comicinker | Boffo: guess | 01:26 |
| monostone | n8tuser, no, dnslog is a specific user for logging dnscache, it does not have root privileges | 01:26 |
| Boffo | should i run it in safe mode with cmd? | 01:26 |
| comicinker | Boffo: no. check on next boot. type in Y | 01:26 |
| n8tuser | monostone-> correct, so either a root user or a user with root priviledge are the only ones allowed to write in that dir.. following me? | 01:27 |
| Boffo | oh sry lol im being stupid at the moment | 01:27 |
| comicinker | Boffo: yes. ;;) | 01:27 |
| Boffo | brb :) | 01:27 |
| monostone | n8tuser, but the /var/log/dnscache folder is owned by dnslog. And i see log files written by syslog user which is part of adm group, and these don't have root privileges either | 01:28 |
| damion_dark8 | does ubuntu use GNOME or KDE? | 01:28 |
| damion_dark8 | im guessing GMONE right? | 01:28 |
| comicinker | damion_dark8: ubuntu uses gnome | 01:28 |
| damion_dark8 | ok thanks | 01:29 |
| Out_Cold | damion_dark8, ubuntu= gnome kubuntu=kde | 01:29 |
| comicinker | damion_dark8: kubuntu kde | 01:29 |
| n8tuser | monostone-> you're the one that told me, owner of /var/log is root, so am just following the logic, | 01:29 |
| booleancat | So, I take it nobody can help with the nfs problem? It's a real bugger... | 01:29 |
| monostone | n8tuser, yes true, but the folder dnscache inside /var/log isn't owned by root. isn't this like the /home folder being owned by root, but then the users folder under /home being owned by him? | 01:30 |
| damion_dark8 | o0ooo | 01:30 |
| woodyjlw | I know on windows when you erase a thumb drive you right click and format but on ubuntu I dont see that as an option so what do I do to erase a drive on ubuntu? | 01:30 |
| n8tuser | monostone-> whats the perms on /var/log/dnscache/ ? | 01:30 |
| kermit | for some reason my built in web cam stopped working.. it was.. why would it stop? it says no such device now. | 01:31 |
| comicinker | woodyjlw: <ctrl> a delete | 01:31 |
| woodyjlw | ill try that | 01:32 |
| monostone | n8tuser, 0755 for the dnscache/ folder and 0644 for the logfiles within | 01:32 |
| n8tuser | monostone can you paste the owner:group ? | 01:32 |
| monostone | n8tuser, dnslog:djbdns | 01:33 |
| damion_dark8 | gcc compiler is for noobies like me? | 01:33 |
| woodyjlw | ok that erased all the folders and stuff so I guess there would be no reason to format it then right? | 01:33 |
| comicinker | woodyjlw: delete will move files to the trash. to completeley remove them use <shift> delete. | 01:34 |
| m_law | so does anyone have an android phone and does it work well with ubuntu | 01:34 |
| Out_Cold | damion_dark8, gcc is fairly easy to use | 01:34 |
| damion_dark8 | damn im so lost | 01:34 |
| n8tuser | monostone-> and the owner:group of /var/log ? | 01:34 |
| comicinker | woodyjlw: to remove files from the trash of your thumbdrive, go to .Trash-1000 of your thumb drive | 01:35 |
| woodyjlw | cool that worked :) thanks | 01:35 |
| monostone | n8tuser, root:root, i also believe something with permissions, since in its original /etc/dnscache location it logged fine, but same as /var/log /etc is also owned by root, and also /var/log/dnscache is owned by dnslog:djbdns same as /etc/dnscache (the original location) | 01:35 |
| woodyjlw | it now shows no used space on drive :) | 01:35 |
| damion_dark8 | damn i dont know what to do. | 01:36 |
| Out_Cold | damion_dark8, what are you trying to compile? | 01:36 |
| damion_dark8 | well, im tyring to learn how to use this operating system. | 01:36 |
| damion_dark8 | but i installed it simply to use aircrack-ng | 01:36 |
| n8tuser | monostone-> if you were to su as dnslog can you write to that directory of /var/log/ ? | 01:36 |
| Out_Cold | fair enough so have you installed ubuntu 9.04 then? | 01:36 |
| damion_dark8 | i installed aircrack-ng from synaptics package manager... | 01:37 |
| damion_dark8 | i just don't know how to open it. | 01:37 |
| ewp | what is up with people and aircrack-ng lately. knowing almost zilch about linux infrastructure they wanna hack wifi networks with aircrack suite :-\ | 01:37 |
| Out_Cold | oh lol.. well it's a CLI tool | 01:37 |
| damion_dark8 | well i'd do it in windows but windows doesn't support it. | 01:37 |
| monostone | n8tuser, that isn't possible to do, since dnslog, has no login | 01:37 |
| damion_dark8 | windows doesn't support a lot of stuff | 01:37 |
| Out_Cold | you have to open a terminal and try airmon-ng <wlan0> | 01:37 |
| corpteddy | Hey all, i downloaded skype and instaled it, but when i logg on all my contacts are gone,, somone ho know how and whay? hehe (sorry my spelling are from norway) | 01:38 |
| Out_Cold | use your interface instead of wlan0 | 01:38 |
| ewp | damion_dark8, join #aircrack-ng | 01:38 |
| ctmjr | ewp: same person new nick me thinks | 01:38 |
| damion_dark8 | ok | 01:38 |
| n8tuser | monostone-> you can give it ability to login, am curious to as why it would not allow you to write though...am perplexed | 01:38 |
| monostone | n8tuser, what does a 't' bit at the end of the permissions string indicate? drwxr-sr-t | 01:38 |
| Out_Cold | once you have mon0 activated then you can try airodum-ng mon0 | 01:38 |
| ewp | ctmjr may be onto something :p | 01:38 |
| damion_dark8 | my interface, as in, my ssid? | 01:38 |
| Out_Cold | **airodump-ng | 01:39 |
| Out_Cold | damion_dark8, no.. check out ifconfig or iwconfig or airmon-ng | 01:39 |
| SEJeff | Has anyone seen karmic hard lock with only '^@^@^@^@^' aka binary goo in /var/log/messages when it happens? I'm not sure if this needs to be reported or how to troubleshoot it. | 01:39 |
| n8tuser | monostone-> sticky bits and you have two, the s and the t there.. i have to refer back to old notes.. hehe | 01:39 |
| SEJeff | The only unusual thing is an ati video card using fglrx | 01:39 |
| ewp | dump collects the ivs, aireplay does the packet injection and aircrack does the cracking... it's not that difficult once you're familiar with cli :-\ | 01:39 |
| SEJeff | Karmic has caused these hard locks very frequently | 01:39 |
| comicinker | SEJeff: #ubuntu+1 | 01:39 |
| SEJeff | comicinker, Thanks | 01:40 |
| ewp | hasn't someone made a gui for aircrack yet? | 01:40 |
| Out_Cold | damion_dark8, it will show up as something like wlan0 or eth1 or similar | 01:40 |
| damion_dark8 | oh wow i actuallly got somehting done...i had to run airmon-ng as a superuser....so i did sudo airmon-ng and put in my password | 01:40 |
| damion_dark8 | yeah i see it now | 01:40 |
| lluad | monostone: Sticky bit. means you can't delete a file unless you own it. Usually used on /tmp and friends. Check man chmod. | 01:40 |
| damion_dark8 | cool. i getting somewhere. | 01:40 |
| monostone | n8tuser, aha!! i think you just enlightened me!!! the multilog binary which handles the logging issues the setuidgid command | 01:40 |
| Out_Cold | damion_dark8, i know the basics or aircrack utils so if you need more help let me know | 01:41 |
| monostone | n8tuser, could that be part of the problem? | 01:41 |
| akatsuki | hi everyone | 01:41 |
| n8tuser | monostone-> i forget things myself, so i have to refer back to some tutorial again myself | 01:41 |
| woodyjlw | I have a fujitsu laptop hard drive and wondering if there is a utility under ubuntu that can write it to zero to completely blank the drive | 01:41 |
| corpteddy | Hey all, i downloaded skype and instaled it, but when i logg on all my contacts are gone,, somone ho know how and whay? hehe (sorry my spelling are from norway) | 01:41 |
| akatsuki | is it possible to determine the internet speed through some linux command? | 01:41 |
| ech0s7 | hi | 01:41 |
| ech0s7 | why fonts in java applications haven't hinting ? | 01:41 |
| n8tuser | monostone-> i think with the s and the t being set, yes, those could be the source of the problem if not set correctly | 01:41 |
| Out_Cold | akatsuki, you could always go to speedtest.com | 01:42 |
| damion_dark8 | thank you outcold | 01:42 |
| booleancat | Well, a reboot didn't work... and now my video is all messed up. Any ideas why nvidia isn't listed under my "restricted drivers" section? | 01:42 |
| woodyjlw | i would need to run it from live cd to blank the drive to zero if I can | 01:42 |
| Out_Cold | .net/.org? | 01:42 |
| akatsuki | Out_Cold: i am thinking i can include it on conky | 01:42 |
| comicinker | woodyjlw: sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/you_fujitsu | 01:42 |
| damion_dark8 | what does CLI acronym stand for? | 01:42 |
| Flannel | damion_dark8: Command line interface | 01:42 |
| lluad | monostone: daemontools overloads the sticky bit to control logging, IIRC | 01:42 |
| booleancat | damion_dark8: Command Line Interface | 01:42 |
| damion_dark8 | oh ok | 01:42 |
| woodyjlw | thanks | 01:42 |
| damion_dark8 | idelly i jsut wanna play around with aircrack now....i know i have to download a special driver for my internal wireless device on my laptop. | 01:43 |
| damion_dark8 | i have the RTL8185 wireles device. | 01:43 |
| damion_dark8 | i just can't find the driver for it. | 01:43 |
| SEJeff | lluad, setuidgid is a command | 01:43 |
| Out_Cold | damion_dark8, what's your device? | 01:43 |
| DeathMetalDean | Does anyone know where I can find a video editor that can turn the video 90 degrees? | 01:43 |
| matthew1 | where is the start menu button located in nautilus/ | 01:44 |
| monostone | n8tuser, lluad :let me check into this | 01:44 |
| SEJeff | matthew1, This isn't windows. There isn't a start menu. Take a look at the "Applications" menu with an Ubuntu logo in the top left | 01:44 |
| Out_Cold | damion_dark8, try lspci | grep 802.11 | 01:44 |
| damion_dark8 | well if I run airmon-ng as superuser, it says RTL8180/RTL8185 | 01:44 |
| damion_dark8 | the driver installed is rtl8180 | 01:45 |
| booleancat | Nobody? I can boot into the older kernel and get the nvidia stuff to load perfectly, anybody know how I can fix my current kernel to include the nvidia stuff? | 01:45 |
| ewp | haha classic | 01:45 |
| matthew1 | SEJeff...that's not what I'm asking...i'm trying to change the menu button to something else I just called it a "start" button...I want to find where the image is in nautilus | 01:45 |
| ewp | "where's the start button?" | 01:45 |
| SEJeff | matthew1, It isn't an image, it is text | 01:45 |
| woodyjlw | comicinker will that comand work from live cd? | 01:45 |
| ewp | matthew1, you can use ubuntu-tweak to change it | 01:45 |
| comicinker | woodyjlw: yes. but be careful with that command! | 01:45 |
| mnaines | How do I connect to a network share in Ubuntu? | 01:46 |
| burntresistor | whats a good program for ubuntu to play hd movies i have a hd dvd player for the 360 | 01:46 |
| burntresistor | will vlc work? | 01:46 |
| matthew1 | SEJeff...the ubuntu logo that gives me the menu is an image...I changed it to something by editing the png files for, but I forgot where it was and I can't find it online | 01:46 |
| matthew1 | and I want to change it to something else | 01:46 |
| woodyjlw | I wrote it down. anything bad can happen if I dont do it write? | 01:46 |
| damion_dark8 | what does that command do? | 01:46 |
| Out_Cold | damion_dark8, lets try with your current driver.... | 01:46 |
| booleancat | So, nobody can help with either my nfs problem OR my nvidia problem? please? | 01:47 |
| Out_Cold | that lists your network device | 01:47 |
| ewp | matthew1, you can use ubuntu-tweak to change it | 01:47 |
| comicinker | woodyjlw: dd erases unrecoverable. even the FBI will try hard to recover that data | 01:47 |
| Out_Cold | booleancat, you can check out #nvidia | 01:47 |
| damion_dark8 | o000....tr aircrack with my current driver to see if I can fetch a good number of IVs....I will try it. | 01:47 |
| mnaines | How do I connect to a network share on Ubuntu? | 01:47 |
| DeathMetalDean | Does anyone know where I can find a video editor that can turn the video 90 degrees? | 01:47 |
| matthew1 | ewp...I'd rather just find the location. i always use shortcuts and that's why I don't know anything | 01:47 |
| booleancat | Out_Cold: Thanks, all I wanted was *some* form of response | 01:47 |
| jiohdi3 | anyone know how to make 7z show up in the menus as extract here? | 01:47 |
| Out_Cold | damion_dark8, turn your card into monitor with airmon-ng start <wlan0> <--insert your device | 01:48 |
| woodyjlw | ok | 01:48 |
| woodyjlw | thanks | 01:48 |
| Out_Cold | booleancat, what's the nvidia issue? | 01:48 |
| comicinker | woodyjlw: so make sure you have the reight /dev/drive. and/or partition. after a reboot, the letters might change | 01:48 |
| corpteddy | how can i get bigger text inn here? | 01:48 |
| damion_dark8 | well my wireless device is built into my laptop. | 01:48 |
| SEJeff | jiohdi3, Install nautilus-actions and create a menu entry for it | 01:48 |
| damion_dark8 | no card. | 01:48 |
| misteralexander | I forgot, how do I load new fonts onto my system? I recall there being a terminal thing, stuff to type to update the cache. Any ideas? I've already searched Ubuntu Help. | 01:48 |
| damion_dark8 | im thinking of buying one though. | 01:48 |
| Out_Cold | damion_dark8, it's still considered a card :p | 01:48 |
| === jiohdi3 is now known as jiohdi | ||
| akatsuki | i have 6 virtual workspaces, is there a shortcut key to just go from workspace 1 to workspace 4? | 01:48 |
| jiohdi | SEJeff, I know there is some way to do it through bash... but I cant remember how | 01:49 |
| damion_dark8 | oh ok | 01:49 |
| woodyjlw | ok well I am useing a 40 gig now but will be installing my 100 gig witch has had several OS systems installed and I would like to do a full clean format on it before I install again | 01:49 |
| Out_Cold | akatsuki, try ctrl + alt + left, left. left | 01:49 |
| comicinker | akatsuki: ctrl alt up,down,left,right | 01:49 |
| booleancat | Well, I'm setting up some PXE boot stuff, and set up a new kernel image to boot off of nfs. Long story short, I accidentally trashed the most recent kernel under ubuntu, so I rebuilt it with an mkinitramfs command. Ever since, I can't get the nvidia card to even show up under the new kernel. Booting an older kernel works fine | 01:49 |
| damion_dark8 | Ohh ok i see what you mean | 01:49 |
| jiohdi | SEJeff, I use Thunar | 01:49 |
| mnaines | ...... | 01:49 |
| mnaines | Can anyone read what I'm typing? | 01:50 |
| booleancat | mnaines: yes | 01:50 |
| Out_Cold | yes mnaines | 01:50 |
| comicinker | mnaines: no. I cant't read what your typing | 01:50 |
| mnaines | ok...Just wondering why nobody is answering my question | 01:50 |
| akatsuki | Out_Cold: comicinker: Yeah but with that I have to pass through other workspaces first before getting to workspace 4... A direct switch to ws 4 from ws 1... is it possible? | 01:50 |
| booleancat | mnaines: What type of network share? nfs, samba, etc | 01:50 |
| Out_Cold | booleancat, as far as i'm thinking you need to load in the nvidia modules to the kernel.. | 01:50 |
| SEJeff | jiohdi, So ask on #xubuntu or #xfce | 01:50 |
| mnaines | booleancat, I'm trying to connect to a shared folder on a Windows box | 01:51 |
| comicinker | mnaines: what network share? | 01:51 |
| booleancat | Out_Cold: Is that why it won't show up under the System->Hardware Drivers menu? | 01:51 |
| Out_Cold | akatsuki, you can click on the window on your task panel? | 01:51 |
| comicinker | mnaines: a virtual one? | 01:51 |
| mnaines | Its a shared folder on a Windows box, comicinker...That's all I can say | 01:51 |
| ewp | mnaines, sometimes ubuntu wont show samba clients in "network" but you can just access by smb://<ip or hostname>/ | 01:51 |
| Out_Cold | booleancat, that seems to look like the reason.. | 01:51 |
| woodyjlw | maybe I should install irc in live cd and see if some one can help make sure I dont screw up lol :) | 01:51 |
| jiohdi | SEJeff because those channels are usually ghost towns | 01:51 |
| Out_Cold | booleancat, i would do more googling on loading nvidia modules | 01:52 |
| comicinker | mnaines: did you had a look in places->network? | 01:52 |
| mnaines | comicinker: When I click that, it pops up with an error: "Cannot Mount Network: Unable to retrieve share list from server" | 01:52 |
| misteralexander | I forgot, how do I load new fonts onto my system? I recall there being a terminal thing, stuff to type to update the cache. Any ideas? I've already searched Ubuntu Help. | 01:52 |
| elvtars | akatsuki: you can set a keyboard shortcut for it in system preferences... | 01:53 |
| DeathMetalDean | Does anyone know where I can find a video editor that can flip the video 90 degrees? | 01:53 |
| Rooftops | anyone know how to change the capture key for VirtualBox OSE? | 01:53 |
| Out_Cold | misteralexander, go into synaptics package manager and search for new fonts | 01:53 |
| monostone | n8tuser, lluad: yeah, i found the error, the logging is still being done to the old log file, EVEN though i renamed the folder and modified the run script which specifies the mulitlog location, as well as trying both svc -d /service/dnscache svc -u /service/dnscache as well as trying svc -h /service/dnscache | 01:53 |
| _Trinity_ | hi all | 01:53 |
| comicinker | DeathMetalDean: avidemux? | 01:53 |
| akatsuki | Out_Cold: I am using a laptop, and as much as possible I practice myself not to rely on touchpad for access.. but if there's no way to do that then I have to settle with ctrl + arrow keys.. :( | 01:53 |
| Out_Cold | !hi | _Trinity_ | 01:53 |
| ubottu | _Trinity_: 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! | 01:53 |

| _Trinity_ | hi | 01:54 |
| comicinker | mnaines: try ewp's tip | 01:54 |
| damion_dark8 | hmmm...apparantly I dont need to install that "special" driver being as I have ubuntu 9.04 jaunty jackalope | 01:54 |
| Out_Cold | akatsuki, or the kb shortcut idea offered above.. | 01:54 |
| _Trinity_ | thanks ubottu, lol! | 01:54 |
| booleancat | Alright, thanks Out_Cold | 01:54 |
| misteralexander | Out_Cold: I've got the fonts, about 10,000 ttf's . . . I know I can just put them in "/home/username/.fonts . . . but wasn't there something about updating the cache? | 01:54 |
| DeathMetalDean | comicinker: I tried it, I don't think you can on it | 01:54 |
| Out_Cold | damion_dark8, sometimes the defaults are good ;) | 01:54 |
| damion_dark8 | according to this website http://forum.aircrack-ng.org/index.php?topic=3833.0 | 01:54 |
| booleancat | Now, has anyone else ran into the problem of being unable to mount an nfs share with the error "mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting" | 01:54 |
| damion_dark8 | yeah thats awesome. | 01:55 |
| damion_dark8 | i was sure the driver part would set me back a ways. | 01:55 |
| Out_Cold | misteralexander, the only thing i can think of is "updatedb" | 01:55 |
| _Trinity_ | I just figured out whow to get X with the r128 driver working after daysss | 01:55 |
| misteralexander | k. thanks! | 01:55 |
| akatsuki | Out_Cold: Oh yeah I overlooked that reply.. will look into that one now.. | 01:55 |
| ewp | _Trinity_, congrats :) | 01:55 |
| _Trinity_ | thanks | 01:55 |

| ewp | let me add, arch linux is DEFINITELY not a distro for linux beginners :-P (just installed a vbox vm today) | 01:56 |
| _Trinity_ | I must have uninstalled them with I uninstalled the ubuntu-desktop | 01:56 |
| Out_Cold | LMAO | 01:57 |
| Rooftops | no one knows? :( | 01:57 |
| Out_Cold | yea no arch for noobs lmao | 01:57 |
| torn | I almost always disable my swap, because it's never needed with the things I do on my computer. However, is Linux like Windows where it will force using page/swap memory when your physical memory is running low? | 01:57 |
| Kingsy101 | can someone tell me why, everytime I start ubuntu /var/run/screen gets reset from 777 back to its default setting? It means I need to chmod evertime I boot ubuntu.. anyone seen something like that before? | 01:57 |
| akatsuki | elvtars: Hmmm. I am assuming it's the keyboard shortcut under the System Preference.. I can only set shortcut keys for 2 workspaces..... | 01:57 |
| ctmjr | _Trinity_: to get glxgears install mesa-utils | 01:57 |
| DeathMetalDean | comicinker: Thanks very much :D | 01:57 |

| monostone | n8tuser, lluad: is it possible that a complete reboot is necessary to enable these changes?? | 01:57 |
| _Trinity_ | ctmjr: thanks | 01:58 |
| Out_Cold | Rooftops, why not ask in #virtualbox | 01:58 |
| damion_dark8 | oh thats a lot better. i can read easier now. | 01:58 |
| ewp | #vbox | 01:58 |
| ^robertj | can anyone recommend an 802.11 printer/scanner combo that behaves nicely in Ubuntu? | 01:58 |
| Rooftops | i guess that would help... lol | 01:58 |
| Xodiac13 | i have a problem i need help i have installed the drivers from ati and when i load up playonlinux it says it doesnt detect 3d on my video card | 01:58 |
| comicinker | DeathMetalDean: next time, remember not to turn your mobile ;) | 01:58 |
| damion_dark8 | ha, i can change it xchat too. woot | 01:58 |
| n8tuser | monostone-> dont have to be a complete reboot | 01:58 |
| Rooftops | thanks, i was trying to find that before | 01:58 |
| ewp | Xodiac13, glxinfo | grep direct <-- does that say yes? | 01:58 |
| DeathMetalDean | comicinker: ahahaha xD! yeah thanks lmfao xD awesome guess :P | 01:58 |
| n8tuser | monostone-> perhaps a change of level to single user and then back | 01:58 |
| Out_Cold | ewp, #virtualbox forwards you to #vbox lol | 01:59 |

| LjL | Lemurian: no! | 01:59 |

| corpteddy | somone who know whay my cam dont work at aMSN? its just white inn the other side.. | 01:59 |
| LjL | Lemurian: there's a *reason* the lock is there. | 02:00 |
| Lemurian | LjL: what's that reason? | 02:00 |
| grafixbadnow | hi room... mind-numbingly stupid question. I just used synaptics package manager to get googleearth-package. How do I get the program up & running? | 02:00 |
| Out_Cold | Lemurian, system corruption | 02:00 |
| Xodiac13 | ewp: uhm i seem to have a problem i just installed the drivers from ati thinking they where going to be better and now its not | 02:00 |
| elvtars | akatsuki: you can add more shortcut, right click or something... | 02:00 |
| n8tuser | Lemurian-> they put locks so no other process/users have access to same files | 02:00 |
| feNNec_ | torn: swap = at least 2 times the memory size | 02:00 |
| Flannel | Lemurian: Specifically, apt database corruption | 02:00 |
| comicinker | Lemurian: only one package manager is allowed to run at the same time | 02:00 |
| Xodiac13 | ewp: lol i just had 3d and now catalyst doesnt want to load all of a sudden | 02:00 |
| Lemurian | I wonder why portage allows multiple downloads | 02:00 |
| LjL | Lemurian: the reason is that APT isn't in the least engineered to support multiple concurrent operations. | 02:00 |
| torn | feNNec_, but what about this: | 02:00 |
| Lemurian | are there alternate package management systems for ubuntu other than apt | 02:00 |
| torn | feNNec_, I almost always disable my swap, because it's never needed with the things I do on my computer. However, is Linux like Windows where it will force using page/swap memory when your physical memory is running low? | 02:01 |
| Xodiac13 | ewp: it was working like a minute a ago | 02:01 |
| Lemurian | LjL: right :) | 02:01 |
| === mike is now known as KpNemo | ||
| ewp | Xodiac13, well do you get direct rendering or no? | 02:01 |
| Flannel | torn: No, if you have no swap, it won't swap, it'll just have problems | 02:01 |
| jalbney | i have a question... been asking it in all the other rooms and no one has an answer. hopefully someone here can help me | 02:01 |
| Xodiac13 | ewp: no | 02:01 |
| Xodiac13 | ewp: i get an error | 02:01 |
| jalbney | hopefully | 02:01 |
| torn | Okay, thank you, Flannel. | 02:01 |
| Kingsy101 | anyone got an idea about my problem? | 02:01 |
| Xodiac13 | ewp: how do i uninstall the ati drivers now so i can go to hardware drivers and install that on | 02:01 |
| _Trinity_ | well it doesnt look lliek I have much accel but it feels smoother | 02:02 |
| ewp | Xodiac13, lsmod to see if fglrx is loaded | 02:02 |
| Xodiac13 | ewp: how do i uninstall the ati drivers now so i can go to hardware drivers and install that one* | 02:02 |
| Out_Cold | sorry Kingsy101 | 02:02 |
| torn | Flannel, the reason I asked is because Windows, against the user's choice, will force virtual memory when RAM runs low. | 02:02 |
| Xodiac13 | ewp: k | 02:02 |
| grafixbadnow | does anyone know how to get google earth running on 9.04? I downloaded googleearth-package from synaptics, but I don't know what to do now? | 02:02 |
| _Trinity_ | fps peak at 24 | 02:02 |
| Flannel | torn: That said, for sufficient RAM, you don't need 2x, and for some values, 1x is too much (unless you're doing special things, or wanting to hibernate) | 02:02 |
| MagicSpeller | Back for more help: I know now how to reinstall GRUB. First, though, I need to remove it completely so that for now, my system will automatically run Windows Vista. How can I do this? | 02:02 |
| torn | Flannel, I found on 2 GB, I never need swap. | 02:02 |
| _Trinity_ | anyone have a Rage 128 card? What fps rate do you get? | 02:02 |
| feNNec_ | torn: if you have a lot (> 2Go) mem, then you can disable swap, or set it to 2 Go only. But don't forget hibernation need | 02:02 |
| Xodiac13 | ewp: no i just did a clean install and i installed the video card driver wtf | 02:02 |
| vegaterain101 | Sm0k3yP0tH3ad | 02:02 |
| torn | Flannel, even when running a virtual machine that gets dedicated 512mb, I'm still hovering around 1 GB of RAM usage.... | 02:02 |
| vegaterain101 | weird | 02:03 |
| Xodiac13 | ewp: is there a way to fix it | 02:03 |
| vegaterain101 | lolz | 02:03 |
| jalbney | looking for someone who is good with kubuntu 8.04 ( i know this is ubuntu, but nowhere else has helped) with kde 3.5.10 and would like just kdecore-without upgrading my kubuntu or my kde | 02:03 |
| Xodiac13 | ewp: cause its irritating me to no end | 02:03 |
| torn | feNNec_, yup. And I don't use hibernation, anyways. | 02:03 |
| ewp | Xodiac13, well were debugging the source of the problem | 02:03 |
| vegaterain101 | wuts this thing for | 02:03 |
| Kingsy101 | Out_Cold - sorry about what? | 02:03 |
| Xodiac13 | ewp: o okay | 02:03 |
| torn | Thanks for clearing it up, guys! | 02:03 |
| Flannel | grafixbadnow: Looks like googleearth-package isn't what you want. It doesn't install google earth. Instead, you can enable medibuntu and then install google earth, or just download google earth from medibuntu, and then install it. | 02:03 |
| Out_Cold | no help for your problem | 02:03 |
| Xodiac13 | ewp: i love ati DRIVERS woot | 02:03 |
| ewp | Xodiac13, check if the driver is even loaded (lsmod | grep fglrx) | 02:03 |
| LjL | vegaterain101: do you have an Ubuntu question? | 02:03 |
| Kingsy101 | ahhh not a problem, I am sure someone in here will know | 02:03 |
| Flannel | grafixbadnow: See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu for instructions for either method | 02:03 |
| ewp | Xodiac13, yea they're awesome arent they lol | 02:04 |
| Kingsy101 | eventually :P | 02:04 |

| ewp | Xodiac13, then it didn't load | 02:04 |
| Out_Cold | jalbney, what's wrong with installing just the one package? | 02:04 |
| Xodiac13 | ewp: do you know how to fix it by any change PLEASE | 02:04 |
| Flannel | jalbney: Have you tried #kubuntu? I'm not familiar with what kde-core provides exactly, but depending on how it's linked (and what you're upgrading to) it might not be possible | 02:04 |
| Xodiac13 | ewp: :) | 02:05 |
| jalbney | i only have a live cd, and no blanks | 02:05 |
| Kingsy101 | anyone else have any ideas about my issue? | 02:05 |

| Xodiac13 | ewp: do you want me to uninstall it | 02:18 |
| id10t | Cerrdor, what kind of connection do you want? command only, x windows, file share? | 02:18 |
| Jeruvy | !vnc | Cerrdor | 02:19 |
| ubottu | Cerrdor: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 02:19 |
| ewp | Xodiac13, can you 'modprobe radeonhd' ? | 02:19 |
| Out_Cold | !grub | 02:19 |
| ubottu | GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 02:19 |

| Jeruvy | Cerrdor: its called rdp | 02:19 |
| Xodiac13 | ewp: yeah lol | 02:20 |
| ewp | Xodiac13, ah okay then it didn't install the driver as a kernel module | 02:20 |
| Xodiac13 | ewp: so lol | 02:20 |
| Out_Cold | gwop, is this a fresh install?? | 02:20 |
| gwop | Out_Cold: yes | 02:20 |
| torn | gwop, is this a brand new hard drive? | 02:20 |
| ewp | Xodiac13, at most you may have some config files in /etc but that's most likely ineffective at this point to messing with fglrx | 02:20 |

| Out_Cold | gwop, if you switch it to ext4 it will overwrite all the other data | 02:21 |
| ewp | Xodiac13, okay so we're going to try the fglrx module, since i read that a guy had success with your same exact card | 02:21 |

| Xodiac13 | ewp: one thing i have the catalyst control center installed though and i dont know how to uninstall it should i worry about | 02:21 |
| Out_Cold | gwop, and it should ask you right before it writes. so if you are doing it right, you'll be given praise | 02:21 |

| Pirate_Hunter | is there an app to help manage webserver? | 02:23 |
| Xodiac13 | epw: shocking its not there nothing of ccc and i know what you mean | 02:24 |
| torn | gwop, what I do is create an extended partition, and then make the swap, root, and home partitions as logical partitions within the extended. | 02:24 |
| ewp | Xodiac13, you've must have installed it through a .run/.bin file or something similar | 02:24 |
| Xodiac13 | epw: i searched up ati and a got like five files | 02:24 |
| Steil | hey | 02:24 |
| ewp | Xodiac13, what are they? | 02:25 |
| Xodiac13 | epw: yup it was a .run file | 02:25 |
| Steil | i want to run ubuntu remix but it does not work with my wireless and wired network | 02:25 |

| monostone | n8tuser, excellent, it required a drop to single user and back again, it seems the set sticky bit needed more then just a service restart :) Thank you for your time, I initially dismissed perms as being the issue due to the ownerships being correct, your persistence helped point me in the right direction | 02:26 |

| Boffo | i get an error when i try to partition, im taking a screenshot and uploading it to imageshack to show you | 02:29 |
| torn | gwop, did you make the first partition primary and tell it to use up the entire drive? | 02:29 |
| ewp | Xodiac13, here's a guide we'll be following: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Jaunty_Installation_Guide | 02:29 |

| ewp | Xodiac13, should install ccc too, i believe | 02:30 |
| ewp | Xodiac13, yea it will | 02:30 |
| Xodiac13 | epw: I NEED HELP PLEASE | 02:30 |
| gwop | torn, yeah im pretty sure i just went to the advanced options and when i seen free space i clicked new partition and made that, so yeah it should use the entire parition | 02:30 |
| torn | gwop, the traditional setup would be: swap, /, /home | 02:31 |
| torn | gwop, how much RAM does you have? | 02:31 |
| torn | *do you | 02:31 |
| gwop | torn 3gb | 02:31 |
| monostone | I have correctly installed and configured dnscache + tinydns. I have tested dnscache via a tail -f logfile, and it is correctly cacheing content. Now, I am setting up a development/test environment, so I am using internal IP's, but i can NOT manage, to get tinydns to resolve the domains on my local network. I am forced to add the entry to the hosts file, but i want to avoid this, any ideas? | 02:31 |
| torn | gwop, you don't need swap, then. | 02:31 |
| Xodiac13 | epw: dont leave me alone i need step by step help incase something goes wrong | 02:31 |
| torn | gwop, but you should still create a swap partition, just in case. | 02:31 |
| gwop | torn, i made the ext4 logical | 02:32 |
| torn | gwop, delete the partition you just made and right-click to create a new one (starting from scratch). | 02:32 |
| gwop | torn, ok | 02:32 |
| torn | gwop, make the first partition an Extended type. | 02:32 |
| monostone | I need my local nameserver to be the first authority, before it checks the global servers | 02:32 |
| ewp | Xodiac13, i sent you a PM | 02:32 |
| m0v | oj I thought I had the r128 working | 02:32 |
| Pirate_Hunter | s0u1t: yes, like you said trying to, just need to make sure it is secure and someway to be able to keep track of ips/connections | 02:32 |
| Jeruvy | Boffo: if you have ntfs-3g installed, you can try this: ntfsfix /dev/sda4 | 02:32 |
| Xodiac13 | epw: how do i check it | 02:32 |
| m0v | thought wrong | 02:32 |
| torn | gwop, extended partitions will not be formatted. Think of them as "containers" for other logical partitions. | 02:33 |
| Jeruvy | Boffo: replace sda4 with sda1, or your appropriate disk, sorry. | 02:33 |
| s0u1t | yes but what applications etc are you trying to "manage" | 02:33 |
| ewp | Xodiac13, call me "ewp" so my xchat highlights your messages | 02:33 |
| gwop | torn, what do you make it an Extended type? | 02:33 |
| Boffo | jeruvy, sorry i don't know how to do that | 02:33 |
| Xodiac13 | epw: how do i do that | 02:33 |
| gwop | torn, i click free space and hit new partition correct | 02:34 |
| Roasted | Question - I just now realized during the last 4 years, I've always used rsync, but only from 1 hard drive internally to another. How can I rsync an Ubuntu computer's home directory to another Ubuntu computer? | 02:34 |
| torn | gwop, correct. | 02:34 |
| torn | gwop, and then choose Extended. | 02:34 |
| Xodiac13 | call ewp | 02:34 |
| Pirate_Hunter | s0u1t: any ideas? | 02:34 |
| Xodiac13 | call "ewp" | 02:34 |
| ewp | Xodiac13, how do you do what | 02:34 |
| kevin|demarest | monostone: I was working on that awhile ago. I couldn't figure out how to assign the dns server to my client. Are you using a static ip on your system? Did you already set up your local nameserver? | 02:34 |
| s0u1t | i | 02:34 |
| s0u1t | kinda need more details on what your trying to manage | 02:35 |
| epaphus | hello, where is the X config located? my ubuntu has detcted an "unknown" monitor that is really causing conflicts and i need to remove it... | 02:35 |
| Xodiac13 | ewp: you said call you lol how do i do that in here | 02:35 |
| gwop | torn, there is no extended you mean ext3 or ext4 | 02:35 |
| epaphus | iam unable to remove it through the GUI panel | 02:35 |
| torn | gwop, not for filesystem type. For partition type. | 02:35 |
| ewp | Xodiac13, i meant type 'ewp', not 'epw' | 02:35 |
| torn | gwop, there are 3 types of partition types: Primary, Extended, and Logical | 02:35 |
| s0u1t | Pirate_Hunter you mentioned you didn | 02:36 |
| gwop | torn, i only see primary and logical | 02:36 |
| s0u1t | 't want to look at log files... what do you want to look at exactly | 02:36 |
| torn | gwop, maybe the installer automatically creates an extended when you choose logical. | 02:37 |
| gwop | torn, http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/5344/screenshotmr.png | 02:37 |
| gwop | torn, ok | 02:37 |
| monostone | kevin|demarest, yes, i am using a static IP 192.168.1.2, i have setup my local nameserver as well. running dnsq ns server-name IP gives a correct answer | 02:37 |
| kejava | epaphus: sounds like you want /etc/X11/xorg.conf but yours is most likely empty | 02:37 |
| torn | gwop, okay, then select logical, and make the size 3072 MB. | 02:37 |
| torn | gwop, and for filesystem type, choose swap. | 02:38 |
| monostone | kevin|demarest, now, when i try a dnsqr ns server-name it jumps directly to the global providers, and totally ignores my local nameserver | 02:38 |
| Pirate_Hunter | s0u1t: huh? | 02:38 |
| kevin|demarest | monostone: I think you've gotten farther than I have. Bind9 runs on my local server, but I don't think it's set up properly | 02:38 |
| gwop | torn, ok done | 02:38 |
| torn | gwop, screenshot, just to double check? | 02:38 |
| s0u1t | Pirate_Hunter, perhaps I don | 02:38 |
| Pirate_Hunter | s0u1t: webserver asking on how to manage it or at least an easier way to do it | 02:38 |
| darkham | how can i have a clear dvd playback? | 02:39 |
| darkham | please help me | 02:39 |
| s0u1t | Pirate_Hunter, perhaps I don't understand the question, from what it sounds like your asking I | 02:39 |
| akatsuki | 8.04 does not include the add option for keyboard short cut... is there other way to add short cuts in hardy? | 02:39 |
| n-iCe | I'm back! | 02:39 |
| gwop | torn, i noticed it | 02:39 |
| epaphus | kejava, why would mine be empty? | 02:39 |
| n-iCe | sebsebseb: there? | 02:39 |
| s0u1t | 'd have to refer you to the web server software documentation for specific procedures to secure it | 02:39 |
| s0u1t | it will be different for each webserver platform | 02:39 |
| sebsebseb | n-iCe: yes | 02:40 |
| gwop | torn, nothing for mount point correct | 02:40 |
| torn | gwop, before we continue, look at the partition number. It says sda5, not sda1. | 02:40 |
| gwop | torn, ok | 02:40 |
| epaphus | kejava, its not empty.. but it is very simple... how can I remove that screen that it dected.. | 02:41 |
| kejava | epaphus: with the newer versions of X, they're "bullet proof" and no longer need configuration. it should be empty now. you still have the option to force some parameters in there. btw, mine is empty. | 02:41 |
| torn | gwop, just a quick note: The four Primary/Extended partitions that can exist on an msdos partition table are partitions 1 through 4. However, partitions 5 through whatever are logical partitions that can reside within an extended one. | 02:41 |
| kejava | epaphus: got any "screen" sections in your config? may need to remove or edit them. | 02:42 |
| epaphus | kejava, i only have one... | 02:42 |
| gwop | torn, how do i make it sda1 | 02:42 |
| epaphus | the problem is i need to start my laptop with a HDMI cable because if not the screen will show distorted | 02:42 |
| kejava | epaphus: paste bin the file so we can see it | 02:42 |
| epaphus | any change i do in the screen resolution panel doesnt take effect | 02:42 |
| torn | gwop, so in your case, you have Partition #1 as an Extended. Partition #2, #3, and #4 are not used yet (might never be, in fact.) Partition #5 is your swap (within #1 extended), and #6 will be root, and #7 will be home. (All 3 within #1 extended). | 02:43 |
| torn | gwop, you can't. sda1 is the extended partition (which was automatically created when you made the logical one.) | 02:43 |
| gwop | torn, ah ok | 02:43 |
| torn | gwop, makes more sense now? | 02:43 |
| gwop | torn, yeah | 02:43 |
| epaphus | kejava, http://pastebin.com/d41d2e947 | 02:43 |
| gwop | torn, so what next | 02:44 |
| torn | gwop, it's easier to think about it visually. 1 through 4 are the primary/extended partitions. 5 through infinity are the logical partitions, which live inside 1, 2, 3, or 4 (in your case, only #1 is ever being used, and 2, 3, 4 are unused.) | 02:44 |
| torn | gwop, create another partition in the free space, and make the size what you want the system (root) partition to be. | 02:45 |
| nyRednek | any clue on when amsynth is going to be brought to speed? | 02:45 |
| movela | what app can i use as a webcam or camera on my laptop? thnks! | 02:45 |
| torn | gwop, I'd recommend 10 GB (10240 MB), which is enough breathing room for Ubuntu, plus extra software. You can make it bigger if you want. | 02:45 |
| nyRednek | movela, cheese | 02:45 |
| torn | gwop, in this case, you'd format it as ext4 | 02:45 |
| movela | nyRednek: thanks.. any others beside cheese? | 02:45 |
| kejava | epaphus: try commenting out "Virtual 2304 800". that part may cause issues. other than that, you have nothing else in there that can do much. is this a crt or lcd monitor? | 02:46 |
| gwop | torn, can i use the rest of the free space as ext4? | 02:46 |
| nyRednek | movela, that one seems to work best | 02:46 |
| movela | ok thanks | 02:46 |
| epaphus | kejava, its a laptop.. ill try renaming the file | 02:46 |
| epaphus | so it creates one | 02:46 |
| torn | gwop, I wouldn't do that. | 02:46 |
| torn | gwop, read my above message. | 02:46 |
| epaphus | brb | 02:46 |
| gwop | ok 10gb | 02:46 |
| kejava | epaphus: you can also try completely deleting the contents of the file | 02:47 |
| torn | gwop, it's best to keep the / and /home partitions seperate, and not to simply include EVERYTHING (such as user home directories) within the / partition. | 02:47 |
| torn | gwop, did you choose / as the mount point? | 02:47 |
| gwop | torn, i see | 02:47 |
| torn | gwop, edit it, if you did not. | 02:47 |
| nyRednek | i've found that sometimes, with a heavy dose of audio apps, 10gb just isn't enough, but i've never taken up 20gb | 02:47 |
| gwop | torn, yea | 02:47 |
| epaphus | thanks ill try | 02:47 |
| gwop | torn, make that one logical as well? | 02:48 |
| torn | nyRednek, even on openSUSE (DVD installation), my / never went above 5 GB. | 02:48 |
| kevin|demarest | !regex | 02:48 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about regex | 02:48 |
| nyRednek | while we're asking about programs, does anyone know of a relatively easy video editor? | 02:48 |
| torn | gwop, correct. | 02:48 |
| Out_Cold | torn, i have installed up to 8 GB | 02:48 |
| Out_Cold | under / without counting /home/ | 02:48 |
| torn | gwop, logical, format, filesystem ext4, mount point / | 02:48 |
| torn | Out_Cold, with Ubuntu, fresh install? | 02:49 |
| Out_Cold | torn, no not fresh install lol... | 02:49 |
| torn | Out_Cold, or after installing extra apps? | 02:49 |
| nyRednek | i'm pushing 5gb now | 02:49 |
| Out_Cold | extras | 02:49 |
| torn | Out_Cold, I was about to say, lol. | 02:49 |
| comicinker | nyRednek: kdenlive | 02:49 |
| gwop | torn, ok that one is sda6 etx4 / 10240 mb | 02:49 |
| nyRednek | comicinker, ok, i tried to do some stuff with kino, but i like to put audio on still frames that transition | 02:49 |
| gwop | torn, what will come of the rest of the free space? | 02:50 |
| torn | gwop, it's up to you if you want it to be 10gb or 20gb, whichever you prefer. If you want to play it safe, go with 20gb. But keep in mind, that means 10gb less will be available for your files, pictures, music, videos, etc. | 02:50 |
| nyRednek | comicinker, i'm NOT a pro with video | 02:50 |
| nyRednek | comicinker, but i'll try that | 02:50 |
| torn | gwop, final partition: logical, format, ext4, mount point /home | 02:50 |
| torn | gwop, you can use up the rest of your free space for this last partition. | 02:50 |
| comicinker | nyRednek: DVD slideshows? tried devede? | 02:50 |
| Out_Cold | gwop, if you take the time to learn LVMs you can make dynamic disks that you can change according to your needs | 02:51 |
| histo | Anyone know how I can blow out a users settings taking them back to default? | 02:51 |
| histo | Just delete .gconf? | 02:51 |

| histo | Default gnome I should specify sory | 02:51 |
| nyRednek | comicinker, i'm slowly working into doing some stuff that is going to involve some more advanced processing | 02:51 |
| epaphus | I messed up trying to configure my external HDMI screen | 02:51 |
| kejava | epaphus: great! glad i could help :) | 02:51 |
| torn | Out_Cold, I think he just wants a traditional Ubuntu installation. | 02:51 |
| nyRednek | comicinker, putting different video sources in boxes within the final video | 02:51 |
| nyRednek | comicinker, will that do it? | 02:51 |
| Out_Cold | torn, yea.. but throwing the idea out there | 02:52 |
| histo | nvm i'll remove .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity | 02:52 |
| Out_Cold | like i said earlier... 1 problem has 30 solutions ;) | 02:52 |
| torn | Out_Cold, it's cool. | 02:52 |
| gwop | torn, http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/6835/screenshotin.png | 02:52 |
| comicinker | nyRednek: just try them all out. for advanced video editing, use jashaka or blender | 02:52 |
| torn | Out_Cold, with Windows, 1 solution generates 30 problems. | 02:52 |
| Out_Cold | so true | 02:52 |
| rawi | hai | 02:52 |
| nyRednek | comicinker, i thought blender was more solid modeling? | 02:53 |
| torn | gwop, you're ready to roll. | 02:53 |
| gwop | torn, thanks | 02:53 |
| comicinker | blender is everything. it will make your live better. | 02:53 |
| epaphus | So now.. I have a laptop.. and Id like to mirror my screen to the HDMI connected LCD panel... by defualt it should always do that.. whats the bets way to do it? | 02:53 |
| nyRednek | comicinker, a good tutorial for blender?(don't say rtfm) | 02:53 |
| torn | gwop, anytime. | 02:54 |
| comicinker | nyRednek: rtfm. google? blender.org? | 02:54 |
| torn | gwop, I'm not even a knowledgeable Linux user. I had used Windows for so long, but made the switch. | 02:54 |
| torn | gwop, I'm still learning a lot of things as I go along. I doubt I'll ever figure out the super-elite advanced stuff, hehe. | 02:54 |
| monostone | is it possible to run a nameserver on a local network, without the nameserver being officially registered? | 02:55 |
| Xodiac13 | ewp: im back | 02:55 |
| comicinker | nyRednek: the best source is often the original home page. gimp is a good example | 02:55 |
| Xodiac13 | ewp: how do i test to see it it worked | 02:55 |
| ewp | Xodiac13, glxinfo | grep direct | 02:55 |
| torn | comicinker, jashaka has been ported to Linux? (I know, I'm slow.) | 02:55 |
| blue-frog | monostone: yes | 02:55 |
| Xodiac13 | ewp: k | 02:55 |
| ewp | Xodiac13, does it say 'yes' ? | 02:55 |
| torn | *jahshaka | 02:55 |
| Xodiac13 | ewp: it said yes | 02:55 |
| ewp | Xodiac13, congrats you have 3d | 02:56 |
| Xodiac13 | ewp: how do i check to see if my 3d is working | 02:56 |
| Xodiac13 | ewp: thank you but is there something like fglxgears | 02:56 |
| movela | how do i setup cheese? the app is working but the taking a pic/vid does not | 02:56 |
| ewp | Xodiac13, well glxgears is what people like to look at for testing 3d | 02:56 |
| gwop | torn, im still trying to understand the mount points part what is difference in / and /home? | 02:56 |
| akatsuki | how to determine gnome version? | 02:56 |
| movela | i know it worked the first time i did a clean install | 02:56 |
| ewp | Xodiac13, fglrxgears | 02:56 |
| Xodiac13 | ewp: dang lol it runs even better | 02:56 |
| blue-frog | gwop: / is c:\ /home is d:\ | 02:56 |
| comicinker | torn: has it ever been windows only? | 02:57 |
| ewp | Xodiac13, lol i was beginning to worry if i broke your xorg | 02:57 |
| === a1g is now known as alex4 | ||
| Xodiac13 | ewp: it said command not found | 02:57 |
| torn | gwop, / is the root partition. /home is where use home folders are located. This is the partition where each user saves their files, music, pictures, videos, etc. It is also where program settings are saved (in hidden folders that start with a period ".") | 02:57 |
| Xodiac13 | ewp: how do i get to use fglrxgears | 02:57 |
| blue-frog | gwop: if you ever separated your stuff in windows | 02:57 |
| ewp | Xodiac13, it must just be glxgears then my bad | 02:57 |
| nyRednek | wasn't sure there was a blender.org | 02:57 |
| torn | comicinker, I'm not sure. I remember my cousin was using it on Windows a while back. | 02:57 |
| nyRednek | comicinker, so... | 02:57 |
| Xodiac13 | ewp: okay nice | 02:57 |
| gwop | ahhh ok i see | 02:57 |
| ewp | Xodiac13, whatever command gives you taht cool box with 3d gears | 02:57 |
| Xodiac13 | ewp: it runs better than the drivers in hardware drivers | 02:57 |
| gwop | and what did the swap partition do? | 02:57 |
| gwop | or for | 02:57 |
| Xodiac13 | ewp: lol | 02:57 |
| blue-frog | gwop: pagefile | 02:57 |
| gwop | ok | 02:58 |
| ewp | Xodiac13, now go enable visual effect and compiz ;-) | 02:58 |
| Xodiac13 | ewp: o yeah i love compiz woot woot | 02:58 |
| torn | gwop, if you don't create a /home partition, then /home will simply act as a folder on the / partition. This is bad practice, since if you need to reinstall/reformat, all your personal files will vanish. | 02:58 |

| nmatrix9 | Hey guys I'm encountering a fsck.ext3 e2fsck_read_bitmaps illegal bitmap blockv for /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol02 preventing from booting any tips on how to repair it? | 02:58 |
| soreau | Xodiac13: glxinfo|grep renderer | 02:58 |
| monostone | blue-frog, I've setup and configured tinydns on a server on my local network, dnsq or dig @ commands answer correctly, but when i try dnsqr or dig, it skips my nameserver and goes to global servers. How can I avoid this? My goal is to setup a complex dev environment which mimics a production setup. | 02:58 |
| ewp | soreau, he's got a yes | 02:58 |
| gwop | ahh ok i see now | 02:59 |
| ewp | soreau, using fglrx driver now, not radeonhd | 02:59 |
| soreau | ewp: That means nothing. YOu can have direct rendering while using software rasterizer | 02:59 |
| Xodiac13 | ewp: soreau: OpenGL renderer string: ATI Radeon HD 4350 | 02:59 |
| comicinker | nmatrix9: fsck -fy ? | 02:59 |
| soreau | Xodiac13: fglrxinfo should talk about ati. And the program you're looking for is fgl_glxgears | 02:59 |
| nmatrix9 | comicinker yeah already tried that and did a reboot still get that same error | 03:00 |
| Xodiac13 | soreau: nice | 03:00 |
| ewp | soreau, ah so there is a glxgears for fglrx | 03:00 |
| Xodiac13 | soreau: where do i get it | 03:00 |
| torn | gwop, but keeping / and /home as seperate partitions (mounted in these two locations, respectively) then you could literally format/install another distro on the / partition (sda6), and leave the /home partition (sda7) unformatted (but mount sda7 to /home during the installation). Then, you can continue with all of your personal files and settings still in tact, while on a new Linux installation. | 03:00 |
| soreau | ewp: Sort of.. it's glxgears rendered on sides of a rotating cube | 03:00 |
| === alex1 is now known as a1g | ||
| Xodiac13 | soreau: o sweet | 03:00 |
| ewp | you know, i may replace this radeon driver with fglrx now :-P | 03:01 |
| Xodiac13 | soreau: it runs like heaven on earth | 03:01 |
| soreau | Xodiac13: Where do you get what? Just type fgl and press tab a couple times | 03:01 |
| kejava | movela: are you sure you video device is being created as /dev/video0. on my system, cheese defaults to use that device, at least that's what gconf-editor shows. | 03:01 |
| === zenmij_ is now known as GreyBeard | ||
| Xodiac13 | ewp: dang man thank you so much its like heaven with the graphics like this want a screen shot | 03:01 |
| GreyBeard | finger | 03:01 |
| seyfarth | is there something in bash similar to windows' ipconfig? | 03:01 |
| monostone | blue-frog, i don't want to use the hosts file to force my private domain names (e.g. web1.server.internal, mail.server.internal, ns.server.internal) I need my local nameserver to resolve these names | 03:01 |
| genii-around | seyfarth: ifconfig | 03:01 |
| Xodiac13 | ewp: really good frame rate to man | 03:01 |
| gwop | torn, nice | 03:01 |
| seyfarth | genii-around: thanks | 03:02 |
| genii-around | seyfarth: Welcome | 03:02 |
| ewp | Xodiac13, im good man on the ss haha, any time | 03:02 |
| nmatrix9 | comicinker I'm running it again it's more verbose this time | 03:02 |
| Xodiac13 | ewp: ss? | 03:02 |

| ewp | Xodiac13, screenshot | 03:02 |
| movela | thats what mine shows too dev/video0 kejava | 03:02 |
| ewp | Xodiac13, i believe you offered one or w/e | 03:02 |
| comicinker | nmatrix9: I'm afraid I cant help you | 03:02 |
| Xodiac13 | ewp: yeah | 03:02 |
| nmatrix9 | comicinker, any idea what causes it? | 03:02 |
| ewp | seyfarth, did you see my correction to your xorg.conf last night? | 03:02 |
| obiwan__ | hi 1 question please, why stopping a job, then type jobs -l to get the pid, i do kill (pid) and doesn't work? even with sudo, i need to kill it with -9 | 03:03 |
| blue-frog | monostone: set up dynameic updates | 03:03 |
| ewp | seyfarth, on pastebin | 03:03 |
| comicinker | obiwan__ kill -9 pid | 03:03 |
| Xodiac13 | ewp: well have a good one and keep up the good work and us windows people switching over to ubuntu linux i switched to linux for good i dont like Windoz | 03:03 |
| === a1g is now known as alex3 | ||
| seyfarth | ewp: I don't think so. | 03:03 |
| Xodiac13 | ewp: have a good one and take care | 03:03 |
| ewp | Xodiac13, aight man come back whenever | 03:03 |
| movela | kejava: when i did a clean install cheese worked. i installed some appz and it couldn't now | 03:03 |
| Xodiac13 | ewp: cool peace | 03:03 |
| obiwan__ | yeah comicinker , but -9 is when a process is considered important by the system, so it regrets to kill it. A simple ls, isn't important. I shouldn't need the -9 | 03:04 |
| ewp | seyfarth, have you gotten the dual monitors working? | 03:04 |
| seyfarth | ewp: think you got the wrong guy :) | 03:04 |
| ewp | seyfarth, ah sorry haha | 03:04 |
| === alex3 is now known as alex1 | ||
| comicinker | obiwan__ -9 means SIGKILL. I don't think it is has something to do what the system considers to be important | 03:05 |
| === alex1 is now known as a1g | ||
| kejava | movela: does the /dev/video0 device actually exist? check to make sure. you may also want to try some other video apps too: gqcam and camorama | 03:07 |
| comicinker | obiwan__ and kill needs you to specify a signal. kill pid won't work. maybe use kill -15 pid. | 03:07 |
| monostone | blue-frog, is that the correct solution to my issue? I would like to understand why my setup is failing, the same setup on a production environment with registered nameservers works flawlessly. isn't it possible to setup my local nameserver as the initial authority? | 03:07 |
| movela | thnaks kejava | 03:08 |
| blue-frog | monostone: I am not in your local setup. I do not know what you wrote to achive what. Just saying that having dns locally automatically updated when local clients connect to the network works fine | 03:09 |
| obiwan__ | ahh ok comicinker i was mistaken then, thanks :) | 03:09 |
| kejava | movela: both of those apps offer some nice command line parameters that could be useful | 03:09 |
| monostone | blue-frog, yes i understand | 03:10 |
| blue-frog | monostone: then if a client is looking straight for the root servers, tell him to search your domain first | 03:10 |
| blue-frog | monostone: resolv.conf search my-domain | 03:10 |
| monostone | blue-frog, you're right! I forgot about that completely | 03:11 |
| blue-frog | monostone: not to speak about the nameserver IP there's in it | 03:11 |
| monostone | blue-frog, yes , obviously i have my local nameserver defined in resolv.conf. like i mentioned, local dig or dnsq commands return correct responses | 03:13 |
| lang2000 | heloo | 03:13 |
| lang2000 | why the first step update kernel 2.6.27.7 to 2.6.31 | 03:14 |
| movela | thanks kejava... also it says there is no such device or could not connect (dev/video0) | 03:15 |
| qe2eqe | Is there a way to look at a process called python and see what it's doing? | 03:15 |
| qe2eqe | nvm, answer is ps -A -f | 03:15 |

| damion_dark8 | no. sorry. i will control my outbursts | 03:18 |

| kejava | DreamsofanEagle: start by installing this package from the repositories: "ubuntu-restricted-extras" | 03:34 |
| koganei | so how do I remove a deb install? (I can't look it up, because Firefox ain't working | 03:34 |
| System-7 | I'd rather not have to have X running just for wireless | 03:34 |
| e3co | zebastian: you are connected through a hard line now? yes | 03:35 |

| DreamsofanEagle | before I did the updates it gave me the error about needing a plugin | 03:37 |
| e3co | have you install the restricted packages? DreamsofanEagle | 03:37 |
| DreamsofanEagle | how? | 03:38 |
| * DreamsofanEagle is a complete noob | 03:38 | |
| kejava | e3co: that's what i just suggested. he may need a walk through with synaptic | 03:38 |
| rug | Why is the permissions on /home/ allow any user to access any other account? and/or what chmod should I use to deny users the abilty to read/list other accounts files? | 03:38 |
| e3co | kejava: I got this one | 03:38 |
| kejava | DreamsofanEagle: have you used Synaptic Package Manager before? | 03:38 |
| System-7 | woops igonore those tags in my commands lol | 03:38 |
| kejava | e3co: ok :) | 03:38 |
| stealth- | System-7: have you tried running dhclient without specifying the interface? | 03:39 |
| n8tuser | rug are you sure allowed? allowed to do what? | 03:39 |
| zebastian | e3co: yes | 03:39 |
| zebastian | i am connected to the router through a wire now | 03:39 |
| zebastian | why¿? | 03:39 |
| stealth- | rug: chmod -R 750 /home/user | 03:40 |
| rug | I have created 3 users on my box. usera userb and userc. all 3 users can read/list any/all files in any home folder | 03:40 |
| System-7 | oh wtf that worked stealth... | 03:40 |
| rug | stealth-: thanks | 03:40 |
| stealth- | System-7: ubuntu has "virtual devices", sometimes these can conflict with just selecting one interface | 03:40 |
| System-7 | lol I feel like I tried that b4 and it didn't work... apparently not :) thankies | 03:41 |
| n8tuser | zebastian-> you're trying to have two interfaces on same subnet still? | 03:41 |
| zebastian | NO | 03:41 |
| zebastian | i am trying to figure out | 03:41 |
| zebastian | why i can't conect to hte wireless | 03:41 |
| stealth- | rug: keep in mind that the 5 will allow people in the users groups to read and execute the files, still. | 03:41 |
| zebastian | when everyone can | 03:41 |

| rug | stealth, yeah I am not worried about the groups, just the various users | 03:41 |
| zebastian | i don't like to have to operate in the office only | 03:41 |

| ubottu | quantumst8: You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava | 03:43 |
| n8tuser | zebastian-> if i recall last night, i advise that you dont do a dual interface into same subnet.. dont have both ethernet and wifi on same subnet | 03:43 |

| jhouse | My wireless icon starts out greyed out and sometimes does not realize it can connect to anything for quite a while. Any ideas why that would be? | 03:45 |
| zebastian | nomasteryoda: much appreciated but the card is not hte issue., the card works wonders, it does at home, it does and my gf's home it works at mcdonalds | 03:45 |
| zebastian | it just doesnt' work here for some reason | 03:45 |
| n8tuser | zebastian-> i understand your delimna, anyhow, you have the infamous broadcom chip that cause many men to loss hair.. :P | 03:46 |
| zebastian | n8tuser: my AP is called cap | 03:46 |
| nomasteryoda | I replaced my broadcom cards in all my laptops ... cost me about 25$ per system | 03:46 |
| n8tuser | zebastian-> its yours right? the AP with essid cap ? | 03:46 |
| zebastian | THE CHIP WORKS FINE! in my house i have a wireless N router | 03:47 |

| zebastian | I was shouting for emphasis | 03:47 |
| zebastian | i don't have 25 bucks, this is a compaq cq-40 so i doubt there's much i can replace as most of it is integrated | 03:47 |
| nomasteryoda | zebastian, encryption can cause issues on those chipsets, unless you are not using encryption on your home network | 03:47 |
| stealth- | But it could be considered rude, and we are volunteers so respect is probably a good idea, zebastian | 03:47 |
| krishmish | i dont have sound in ubuntu 9.04 | 03:48 |
| n8tuser | zebastian-> our experience has been, broadcom chips 43xx family is difficult to make work on linux systems | 03:48 |
| zebastian | my home has encryption | 03:48 |
| n8tuser | zebastian-> to prove it, you'd find lots of threads on this | 03:48 |
| nomasteryoda | zebastian, almost all laptops come with mini-pci or similar port for either bluetooth or wifi cards ... | 03:48 |
| zebastian | matter of fact i'll give you my password at home | 03:48 |
| zebastian | abcdefg8 | 03:48 |
| stealth- | jhouse: its just the way network manager is programmed, I believe. It doesn't do the check until a certain interval comes up, If I remember correctly. | 03:49 |
| n8tuser | zebastian-> it wont do me any good knowingyour password.. lol | 03:49 |
| nomasteryoda | zebastian, ok. if its aes & tkip, then you should change to just aes or just tkip and see if you can connect... do that on the AP | 03:49 |
| krishmish | i dont have sound in ubuntu 9.04 | 03:49 |
| jhouse | stealth: any way to adjust that interval? | 03:49 |
| zebastian | nomasteryoda: you're saying there's something like a usb plugabble deattachable gadget i can get to plug onto my laptop that will solve this issue? | 03:49 |
| nomasteryoda | oh no actual chip ... give me a minute to look up your model | 03:49 |
| stealth- | jhouse: without recompiling from source, I dont believe so. How long are you talking about, here? | 03:49 |
| n8tuser | nomasteryoda-> i let you take the lead, but perhaps you start him off without the wep or wpa, just in hte clear til he can connect | 03:50 |
| jhouse | stealth, it varies up to about a minute or two | 03:50 |
| stealth- | jhouse: hmmmm, I dont think that would be the interval check then. Unfortunately, past that I dont have much of an idea how to diagnose the problem | 03:51 |

| mojo | hello everyone, I would like to ask can I use Recovery Mode to convert ext3 to ext4? | 04:12 |
| zebastian | nomasteryoda: well yes but you know 20-30$ vs a couple of hours fiddling, couple of hours fiddling always wins | 04:13 |
| mojo | hello everyone, I would like to ask can I use Recovery Mode to convert ext3 to ext4? I do not have CD-ROM, I got an installed system | 04:13 |
| scatterp | dsnyders, sorry i got disconnected how ever your tips before i did got me to figureing it out thanks for all the help | 04:13 |
| zebastian | but if you say that it will solve it nomasteryoda | 04:13 |
| bastid_raZor | saru: no, you need to have selected normal or extra.. if no errors then compiz is enabled and running | 04:13 |

| scatterp | its pretty good fun | 04:14 |
| dsnyders | scatterp, I may try loading it onto a USB | 04:14 |
| saru | ok i keep trying to figure out how to do the 3D desktop etc and im not seeing options or shortcuts for the keys to push | 04:14 |
| scatterp | dsnyders, its based around usb best to try it in a vm first | 04:14 |
| soreau | saru: What do you have selected in Visual Effects tab of gnome-appearance=properties? | 04:14 |
| nomasteryoda | if you want the best solution, that is my solution. I would not hesitate to purchase that card. All, I repeat "all" of the Intel cards I've purchased have worked even as far back as Ubuntu Warty | 04:14 |
| scatterp | dsnyders, if you have a nvidia card check cuda | 04:14 |
| saru | bastid_raZor, i've got it set to extra right now, and when i move windows and such the effects do work | 04:14 |

| Guest35511 | ok | 04:15 |
| monostone | I have correctly installed and configured dnscache + tinydns. I have tested dnscache via a tail -f logfile, and it is correctly cacheing content. Now, I am setting up a development/test environment, so I am using internal IP's, but i can NOT manage, to get tinydns to resolve the domains on my local network (commands dnsq a host IP and dig @IP host return correct responses, but dnsqr host, dig host and dig @IP -x IP all fail). My resolv. | 04:15 |
| monostone | conf has 127.0.0.1 defined as nameserver, i even added a search domain.internal, but nothing. I am forced to add the entry to the hosts file, but i want to avoid this, any ideas? | 04:15 |
| nomasteryoda | and with that help, i must bid you good day zebastian ... time for some shut-eye. | 04:15 |
| Guest35511 | I have a question | 04:16 |
| soreau | saru: That means compiz is working. What else do you want to do? | 04:16 |
| saru | bastid_raZor, lol im stupid i forgot to open the compiz manager and set the settings there :) | 04:16 |

| dsnyders | scatterp, no real need for parallel processing just yet. I think I'd be better off dumping my 800MHz machine for something faster. | 04:17 |
| saru | would it still work under the KDE environment as well soreau | 04:17 |
| soreau | saru: Yes, but you have to enable it differently | 04:18 |
| saru | soreau, well Ubuntu just comes with gnome desktop correct? | 04:18 |
| linxeh | yes | 04:18 |
| musikgoat | saru: by default | 04:18 |
| saru | meaning from the default install of the live cd | 04:19 |
| * danielsh was about to say 'thanks' to Cocoabean, but he just left... :( | 04:19 | |
| saru | ok | 04:19 |
| dsnyders | saru, there is also KUbuntu which comes with kde | 04:19 |
| soreau | saru: ubuntu, yes but you can install kde desktop | 04:19 |
| soreau | saru: kubuntu comes with kde by default | 04:19 |

| linxeh | or you can install kde, or just the bits you need | 04:19 |
| * danielsh had connection problems | 04:19 | |
| saru | well what is the biggest difference between Kubuntu and Ubuntu, just KDE vs Gnome? | 04:19 |
| linxeh | heh that package size is deceiving :) | 04:19 |
| linxeh | saru: yes | 04:19 |
| soreau | saru: yes | 04:19 |
| linxeh | saru: and muchos clutter | 04:19 |
| soreau | indeed | 04:20 |
| saru | which one has more clutter? | 04:20 |
| soreau | kde =bloat | 04:20 |
| linxeh | KDE = visual clutter | 04:20 |
| genii-around | linxeh: Hehe yes it's definitely not any 21K thats for sure | 04:20 |
| linxeh | its ugly as hell | 04:20 |
| soreau | saru: kde has the most klutter of them all ;) | 04:20 |
| linxeh | Gnome is nicer to look at, but functionally crap | 04:20 |
| linxeh | :/ | 04:20 |
| saru | i'll probably end up sticking to Gnome then... | 04:20 |
| scatterp | dsnyders, anyway thanks for the pointers erm so i am accessing it via smb:// i am trying to copy a file to it but im geting a could not write to smb://192.168.2.4/d/folder. | 04:20 |
| saru | im looking to maybe run Cedega on the laptop here. | 04:20 |

| damion | can smoene help me fix the wireless on ubuntu | 04:23 |
| damion | i was messing with aircrack....i restarted my computer. | 04:23 |
| damion | but now i can't access the wireless network. | 04:23 |
| damion | i think i wrote something like, iwconfig wlan0 down or something like that. | 04:24 |
| damion | ? | 04:24 |
| dsnyders | damion, iwconfig wlan0 up might fix it. | 04:24 |
| damion | nope | 04:25 |
| damion | doesn't fix it | 04:25 |
| damion | I have wireless networks enabled.... | 04:25 |
| ctmjr | never fails they ask how to run aircrack then a couple hours later ask how to fix their wireless | 04:25 |
| damion | but when I click on the icon WIRED NETWORK AND WIRELESS NETWORKS is greyed out | 04:26 |
| damion | lol | 04:26 |
| damion | hey its part of the learning process | 04:26 |
| dsnyders | ctmjr, the signal is probably falling through the cracks in the air :-) | 04:26 |
| ctmjr | dsnyders: :) | 04:27 |
| damion | wireless networks are enables....just the option is greyed out. | 04:27 |
| dsnyders | damion, sorry, I don't know enough about wireless config on linux to help. | 04:27 |
| damion | oh alright | 04:27 |
| damion | how would i go about disabling and enabling my wireless card though. | 04:27 |
| RukusX | dsnyders | 04:27 |
| damion | just like in windows? | 04:27 |
| RukusX | dsynders: I have an issue with usb 2.0 and my external hard drive. I connect the drive and it tells me using dmesg | grep usb that i havea connected a high speed device but its only running at full speed and to connect to a high speed hub. I have tested usb 2.0 with my thumb drive and it works at full usb 2.0 speeds. What do you figre the issue is? | 04:28 |
| saru | OMG speaking of wireless cards.... | 04:28 |
| RukusX | shit | 04:28 |
| RukusX | dsnyders rather | 04:28 |
| saru | with Windows Vista, i plug in my AT&T Air Card, and it takes 20 minutes to setup | 04:28 |
| saru | i plugged it into Ubuntu and BAM up and running in 10 seconds!! | 04:28 |
| saru | i was sooo impressed | 04:28 |
| RukusX | yah vista = strange and annoying (at least to me) | 04:29 |
| saru | i've kind of wanted to try Windows 7 | 04:29 |
| RukusX | me too | 04:29 |
| RukusX | but i could never leave ubuntu now | 04:29 |
| RukusX | its getting too good | 04:29 |
| dsnyders | RukusX, I suspect that it might be a "misprint". The USB is probably working at full speed despite the message. | 04:30 |
| RukusX | before when i tried 7.04 for the first time i was like mehhh ubuntu is ok but man its a lot of messing around just to use a computer.. right? but into 9.04 HUGE improvement! other than my usb 2.0 devices not working! | 04:30 |
| RukusX | anyone wanna help with that? | 04:30 |
| RukusX | dsnyder a speedtest does not reflect that | 04:30 |
| RukusX | dsnyders timing was 1000kb/sec roughly | 04:31 |
| saru | my only concern with linux is game support :( | 04:31 |
| a_stray_shot | maybe just a cheap enclosure? | 04:31 |
| dpupp | is there a way to use ubuntu to check a windows partition for errors? | 04:31 |
| RukusX | i am sure it is not the best one. But it used to run faster | 04:31 |
| dsnyders | saru, Pysol seems to work fine. | 04:32 |
| saru | what is Pysol? | 04:32 |
| dsnyders | saru, a Python based collection of solitare card games. | 04:32 |
| mike45094 | hey guys, so here's what I'm used to doing, see if you can change my life, whenever I have a dev envionrment , I open up 5 consoles, I usually name them php/mysql/html/css etc, whenver I go to edit a php file I suspend a file ( via contorl + z ) and then use jobs to check my open jobs, then I resume using %x, is there a better way I could be doing this with screen or something else...? | 04:32 |
| RukusX | Timing cached reads: 2 MB in 2.09 seconds = 981.18 kB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 4 MB in 4.06 seconds = 1007.92 kB/sec | 04:33 |
| RukusX | dsnyders rather | 04:33 |
| RukusX | ^ | 04:33 |
| RukusX | dsnyders: but when i connect my usb 2.0 thumb drive i get usb 2.0 speeds! | 04:33 |
| saru | i meant computer games like World of Warcraft, or Call of Duty, Tomb Raider : Underworld | 04:34 |
| RukusX | saru wine now has directx support and virtualbox now supports hardware accelleration. to what extend performance and compatability are i am not sure. | 04:35 |
| kapil | mike45094: you can certainly have 1 screen session with different activities in each screen window. | 04:35 |
| mike45094 | kapil: could you explain to me how to do this | 04:35 |
| damion | lspci | grep -i -E wireless\|ethernet | 04:36 |
| saru | yeah i installed Wine last night and ran WoW from my windows partition and it ran but really slow... | 04:36 |
| damion | what is the vertical line and where is it on the keyboard? | 04:36 |
| damion | lspci | grep -i -E wireless\|ethernet | 04:36 |
| saru | so im guessing my settings for wine configuration are wrong. | 04:37 |
| damion | is that an i or an l? | 04:37 |
| kapil | start screen with "screen". You will get a command prompt (after the splash message). there you type something like "screen vi first_file.txt". This will open first_file.txt in a new screen window and so on. you switch between screen windows with "Ctrl+a" | 04:37 |
| dsnyders | RukusX, I'm not sure then. | 04:37 |
| damion | lspci | grep -i -E wireless\|ethernet | 04:37 |
| RukusX | dsnyders: ur not the only one | 04:37 |
| damion | is this an i or an l in that command? i can't tell? | 04:37 |
| kapil | see "info screen" for the documentation (or "man screen"). Also remember "Ctrl-a ?" for help. | 04:37 |
| damion | between lspci and grep | 04:37 |
| mike45094 | cool | 04:38 |
| ctmjr | mike45094: see if this helps you http://www.ubuntugeek.com/screen-manages-multiple-sessions-on-one-terminal.html | 04:38 |
| Omlette | damion: It's the letter between h and j. | 04:38 |
| a_stray_shot | damion: its a pipe, and it is shift+backslash usually | 04:38 |
| mike45094 | kapil I'm going to give this a shot, actually the reason I asked this is because I used to use Ctyl-a a lot | 04:38 |
| mike45094 | like a year ago | 04:38 |
| Omlette | d'oh | 04:38 |
| mike45094 | and I forgot how to go about doing this methodology etc | 04:38 |
| bastid_raZor | damion: that is a pipe. above enter key on most keyboards | 04:38 |
| damion | | | 04:39 |
| damion | that...hmm ive never even noticed that. | 04:39 |
| damion | its called a pipe? | 04:39 |
| kapil | mike45094: you can define the command key to be something other than Ctrl-a. | 04:39 |
| a_stray_shot | yeah, and it works just like a real one, damion | 04:39 |
| eTiger13 | how can i tell what apt upgraded on the last upgrade i ran? | 04:40 |
| damion | im trying to figure out how the omputer would interpret it....like a switch or something? | 04:40 |
| mike45094 | how do you name a session? | 04:40 |
| damion | at least i know what it is now | 04:40 |
| damion | thanks | 04:40 |
| mike45094 | I thought you could name a screen session with -S ? | 04:40 |
| mike45094 | not child sessions though? | 04:40 |
| Solaris444 | I have a very strange issue. I have an NEC laptop, and when I press the key (US Keyboard) that has | and \ on it, it instead shows me < and > | 04:41 |
| Solaris444 | Any idea how to fix this, anyone? | 04:41 |
| mike45094 | for example I want to do `screen vi README.txt` and have the session be called either... ReadMe.txt or TXT while I'm flipping through my screen sessions | 04:41 |
| kapil | mike45094: you can name screen windows with "Ctrl-a A" | 04:41 |
| mike45094 | that seems like a bit much | 04:42 |
| mike45094 | is there any other way to do that like on execute | 04:42 |
| mike45094 | I would like to write a script, that's why I'm asking | 04:42 |
| dsnyders | damion, linux commands take input from something called standard input, and send their output to standard output. The pipe routes the output of one program into the input of another. | 04:43 |
| kapil | or you can invoke new commands on the screen command line (C-a :). there you can give a command like "screen -t Readme.txt vi README.txt". | 04:44 |
| mike45094 | -t eh? | 04:44 |
| kapil | screen -t test sh | 04:45 |
| webb82f | anyone know of a good alternative to the gnome start menu | 04:45 |
| kapil | mike45094: the above seems to work in my current screen session. | 04:45 |
| damion | so in the example i put | 04:46 |
| damion | lspci | grep -i -E wireless\|ethernet | 04:46 |
| damion | where would that "output' end up? | 04:46 |
| genii-around | damion: On the screen | 04:46 |
| damion | oh | 04:47 |
| samd | how do i run a program (command line) in the background? | 04:47 |
| dsnyders | damion, Unless otherwise specified the keyboard is the input, and the screen is output | 04:47 |
| linxeh | samd: & or screen | 04:47 |
| samd | linxeh-> & didnt worked as the program keeps sending output, ill try screen | 04:48 |
| linxeh | samd: its still in the background | 04:48 |
| pete_ | whats the safest way to have the option to choose between xfce and fluxbux, fluxbox installed second | 04:48 |
| damion | cna anyone help me get wireless networks ungreyed. | 04:48 |
| dsnyders | damion, you can also send the output to a file using > | 04:48 |
| damion | > then filename? | 04:48 |
| dsnyders | damion, exactly. | 04:48 |
| samd | linxeh-> if i did ./prog &,,, and i contrl-C it, is it still runing? | 04:49 |
| linxeh | samd: yes, because you ctrl-c the shell, not your program | 04:49 |
| bastid_raZor | samd: program & disown | 04:49 |
| damion | i typed > example.txt | 04:49 |
| linxeh | samd: check ps -ef etc | 04:49 |
| damion | nothing happened | 04:49 |
| samd | linxeh-> ahhhh nice , didnt knew that, thanks | 04:49 |
| samd | bastid_raZor-> ight, tanks | 04:49 |
| dsnyders | damion, you can do stuff like ls | sort >example.txt and it will create a file called example.txt consisting of a sorted list of your directory. | 04:50 |
| castillev | Hey, will my installation work fine if I remove the Ubuntu-desktop? I just want to uninstall the Open office stuff. | 04:50 |
| samd | linxeh-> i see it under ps -ef, thanks | 04:51 |
| castillev | Without removing gnome. | 04:51 |
| samd | linxeh-> what happens if i logout? | 04:51 |
| damion | and where would that file end up? on my desktop? | 04:51 |
| scatterp | dsnyders, sorry ran in to some problems every time i try to copy my 4.3gb file it says its stalled so i tried pinging google while i did as a sort of keep alive and it gives a error on the ping "no buffer space available" im guessing its copying to fast is there some way i can fix that ? | 04:51 |
| dsnyders | damion, cat wordlist|sort|uniq|wc would print a count of the unique words in the file. | 04:52 |
| GLG | ok as a preface i have an nvidia card installed on my LP running the xorg config driver and i want to use two screens both as seperate x screens however when the driver tries to save to the xorg.config.backup to enable two x screens it cannot i tried rm on the old file and now it says i can't make a new one any ideas? | 04:52 |
| samd | bastid_raZor-> what does disown do?? makes it run even if i logout? | 04:52 |
| damion | my wireless is working again | 04:52 |
| damion | woot | 04:52 |
| linxeh | samd: with a & process it will likely die; with screen it will carry on | 04:52 |
| === s is now known as Guest20509 | ||
| linxeh | samd: generally screen is a better solution | 04:52 |
| dsnyders | damion, it would place the file in the directory that you ran the command from. | 04:52 |
| samd | linxeh-> i see, ill go for screen then, thanks | 04:52 |
| dsnyders | scatterp, either that or the destination is out of space. | 04:53 |
| bastid_raZor | samd: no, disowns it from the terminal window | 04:53 |
| legend2440 | GLG: in terminal type gksudo nvidia-settings. then you can save settings | 04:53 |
| scatterp | destination has tons of space remember i cant ping google when i stall... | 04:53 |

| ubottu | _Trinity_: 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! | 04:53 |
| _Trinity_ | say what does ubuntu list pendrives under /dev/ as? I don't see a sd* listing | 04:54 |
| hossam | hello i am trying to backup my 1.5TB drive, i just dragged and dropped the directories into the new drive, will this copy over my files marked as hidden as well? | 04:54 |
| nanotube | _Trinity_: if they are mounted, you can see them easily with command "mount" - it will show the device names in /dev for you | 04:54 |
| scatterp | dsnyders, is there a way to dramaticly increase the buffer space or to make it go slower ? | 04:54 |
| dsnyders | _Trinity_, removable disks are usually mounted under /media automatically. | 04:54 |
| saru | Ubuntu uses Xorg correct? | 04:55 |
| dsnyders | scatterp, If it's not that, I don't know what to suggest. | 04:55 |
| nanotube | saru: if you're running the gui, then yes | 04:55 |
| _Trinity_ | dsnyders: not mine | 04:56 |
| scatterp | dsnyders, how can i convert my file.tgz in to a split archive that windows could recombine ? | 04:56 |
| saru | ok thanks, I need to look to make sure its running in OpenGL or not. | 04:56 |
| solarisBoy | anyway to change my intro music on 8.10 ? | 04:57 |
| === ecanto is now known as ecanto-afk | ||
| _Trinity_ | ls /media --> cdrom cdrom0 non of which are my pendrive | 04:57 |

| GLG | legend2440: ok i saved it now i still can't apply the crt x screen | 04:57 |
| nanotube | _Trinity_: is the pen drive formatted? | 04:57 |
| nanotube | _Trinity_: does it show up in the output of 'mount' command? | 04:57 |
| venky80 | does anyone else have this issue http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=622057#p622057 | 04:57 |
| _Trinity_ | sure is | 04:58 |
| saru | it says yes | 04:58 |
| nanotube | saru: so that means you have 3d accel enabled... | 04:59 |
| saru | do you need opengl to run Compiz? | 04:59 |
| genii-around | No, composite | 04:59 |
| saru | i noticed when i ran Wine yesterday with World of Warcraft it ran really slow framerate wise and im trying to figure out why. | 04:59 |

| nanotube | _Trinity_: pastebin your mount output | 05:01 |
| nanotube | _Trinity_: also, pastebin your output of "sudo fdisk -l" (will list all disks, even if they're not mounted) | 05:01 |
| ceacro | but does not identify the wire ethernet conection | 05:01 |
| ceacro | why is wrong with the conection? | 05:02 |
| dsnyders | ceacro, what is it connected to? | 05:02 |
| GLG | does any1 know why i can't apply my x screen settings i saved them to /etc/X11/ and toggled some other stuff and i can't add my second screen as another x screen | 05:03 |
| ceacro | I have a wire connection that ubuntu does not recognize. | 05:03 |
| ceacro | it is a atheros wire card | 05:03 |
| wrapster | I have a 17'' syncmaster crt monitor.. and soon after I installed ubuntu on my machine.. i've noticed that the monitor has begun to flicker insanely... what could be the problem and how can i resolve it? its almost impossible to look at the screen | 05:03 |
| ctmjr | solarisBoy: yes in system > preferences > sound > sounds you can change it but it has to be in .wav format and not to long maybe 10 seconds or so to work | 05:04 |
| dsnyders | ceacro, does it show up if you issue an ifconfig command. | 05:04 |
| thiebaude | GLC, you tried gksudo gedet /etc/X11/xorg.conf? | 05:04 |
| mo0nykit | I'm trying to resurrect an old PC (Celeron 733 MHz, 256MB RAM, 20GB HDD). But I cannot format my HDD with the ext3 filesystem. What could possibly be wrong? | 05:04 |
| solarisBoy | cool .. i was there but it appears i dont get the option to change,, was wondering do i need like sudo privs? | 05:04 |
| thiebaude | gedit | 05:04 |
| soreau | saru: You need opengl.. specifically you need drivers supporting the GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap extension enabled and working with hardware rendering | 05:04 |
| ceacro | but I see a lot of codes | 05:04 |
| Nemesis1911 | hey guys | 05:04 |
| GLG | what should i add to the xorg.conf? | 05:04 |
| ceacro | I tried with fconfig | 05:05 |
| dsnyders | mo0nykit, have you partitioned the disk as ext3? | 05:05 |
| dsnyders | ceacro, ifconfig | 05:05 |
| ceacro | ifconfig | 05:05 |
| ceacro | yeah | 05:05 |
| dr3mro | hi where i can suggest an idea for ubuntu 10.4 | 05:05 |
| ceacro | it shows a lot of codes I am not able to understand | 05:05 |
| dtek | savages | 05:05 |
| ctmjr | solarisBoy: on the login sound you should be able to click it and edit it without sudo | 05:06 |
| Nemesis1911 | I gotta problem I installed Windows 7 and now I lost my Ubuntu its still there.. but how do I get multi boot screen up ???? Help please | 05:06 |
| mo0nykit | dsnyders, yup, i had it partitioned already. My first attempt was with the Minimal CD. When I got to the "write partition changes to disk", partitioning crashes at around 33% | 05:06 |
| solarisBoy | ok let me try again | 05:06 |

| lightness | hi one question:how can i unistall virtualbox 3(from the website) from my ubuntu-gnome system? | 05:07 |
| dsnyders | mo0nykit, The drive may be kaput, maybe? | 05:07 |
| Nemesis1911 | kewl kelw.. I'm gonna check the link guys.. thx 1000000000000000000 | 05:07 |
| ^mNotIntelligent | lightness, add virtual box repo and use apt-get | 05:07 |
| ceacro | hi | 05:07 |
| solarisBoy | _Trinity_: does 'sudo fdisk -l' show the drive? | 05:07 |
| yinlong | Nemesis1911,do you have a live cd? | 05:08 |
| ghostbone | 呵呵 | 05:08 |
| mo0nykit | dsnyders, yup, that's my main suspicion :( I even tried DamnSmallLinux, crashing at random points, throwing segmentation fault errors | 05:08 |
| ^mNotIntelligent | lightness, can't you use apt-get | 05:08 |
| nanotube | _Trinity_: ok, so the mount output only shows your / and /home partitions (everything else is system cruft that's irrelevant to the present discussion). how about fdisk -l ? | 05:08 |
| ghostbone | my | 05:08 |
| Nemesis1911 | yinlong.. have a gparted usb flash | 05:08 |
| lightness | ^mNotIntelligent tried apt-get but didnt work: couldnt find it | 05:09 |
| === c is now known as Guest42982 | ||
| ^mNotIntelligent | lightness, coool, then do it manually using dpkg | 05:09 |
| ceacro | what Can I do, my ethernet driver does not work | 05:09 |
| Nemesis1911 | yinlong: I have a live cd.. | 05:09 |
| ghostbone | 11 | 05:09 |
| ^mNotIntelligent | lightness, seems you installed it manually, right? | 05:09 |
| lightness | ^mNotIntelligent ok what is that? | 05:09 |
| yinlong | Nemesis1911,so you can use the command "grub" as root | 05:09 |
| solarisBoy | ceacro: whats your ethernet interface? | 05:09 |
| lightness | ^mNotIntelligent right | 05:09 |
| Nemesis1911 | i'm in WINDOWS | 05:09 |
| solarisBoy | ceacro: can you try 'sudo ethtool <interface>' and see what it says | 05:10 |
| ^mNotIntelligent | lightness, dpkg -r virtualbox-3 ...something like this prefix sudo if required | 05:10 |
| ceacro | it is a RJ45 wire with an Atheros fast Ethernet | 05:10 |
| yinlong | Nemesis1911,you are in windows?well,so you have to reboot into your live cd | 05:10 |
| solarisBoy | right.. i meant the label.. | 05:10 |
| ^mNotIntelligent | lightness, does that make sense? | 05:10 |
| scatterp | can any one help me i am using konqueror to try to copy some files 3gb/12gb/20gb and each time i get an error stalled and i become offline i have tried to ping google mean while to monitor the situation and i have seen an error from ping that says out of buffer space can any one help ? | 05:11 |
| solarisBoy | is it eth0? if so try running ethtool on it | 05:11 |
| lightness | ^mNotIntelligent what this command exacly does? | 05:11 |
| Nemesis1911 | what do you mean by live CD yinlong? | 05:11 |
| yinlong | yeah, | 05:11 |
| solarisBoy | sudo ethtool eth0 | 05:11 |
| ^mNotIntelligent | lightness, it erases/removes the packages manually... | 05:11 |
| ceacro | ok, I will try, wait | 05:11 |
| yinlong | you can connect to me in your live CD. | 05:11 |
| wrapster | did anyone have such issues with ubuntu? | 05:12 |
| wrapster | can any one look at the issue? | 05:12 |
| _Trinity_ | nanotube: fdisk -l is here http://pastebin.com/m1817ab53 | 05:12 |
| ^mNotIntelligent | lightness, keep in mind its not going to remove other dependencies...so avoid using this manual technique as far as possible..use apt-get | 05:12 |
| Nemesis1911 | live cd? | 05:12 |
| ^mNotIntelligent | wrapster, whats the issue | 05:12 |
| sebsebseb | !livecd | Nemesis1911 | 05:12 |
| ubottu | Nemesis1911: The Ubuntu Desktop CD is a "LiveCD" which can be run without altering existing files on your harddrive. Especially useful for testing your hardware's compatibility, it also includes an install option. | 05:12 |
| lightness | ^mNotIntelligent ill give it try and then get back to you thnx | 05:12 |
| solarisBoy | _Trinity_: its not there | 05:12 |
| solarisBoy | only one drive i see | 05:12 |
| Nemesis1911 | ohh ok and when I boot up with the UBUNRU cd what do I do | 05:12 |
| wrapster | ^mNotIntelligent: I have a 17'' syncmaster crt monitor.. and soon after I installed ubuntu on my machine.. i've noticed that the monitor has begun to flicker insanely... what could be the problem and how can i resolve it? its almost impossible to look at the screen | 05:12 |
| ceacro | it says there is not such a device | 05:12 |
| yinlong | Nemesis1911,do you really have a live CD? | 05:12 |
| Nemesis1911 | UBUNTU 9.04 cd | 05:13 |
| _Trinity_ | nanotube: fdisk -l is here http://pastebin.com/m1817ab53 | 05:13 |
| ^mNotIntelligent | lightness, i used the same methond to remove my vbox2.2 2 days back...so rest assured you dont need any dependencies to be taken care of...so its fine. just go ahead and remove it manually | 05:13 |
| solarisBoy | whats the name of ur eth0 int | 05:13 |
| _Trinity_ | I'm here | 05:13 |
| ceacro | the only distro it makes it work is KUKI linux | 05:13 |
| ^mNotIntelligent | lightness, no probs | 05:13 |
| solarisBoy | _Trinity_: its not there | 05:13 |
| solarisBoy | _Trinity_: there is one drive there | 05:13 |
| _Trinity_ | yeah | 05:13 |
| ceacro | no problem to recognize my ethernet connection | 05:13 |
| yinlong | Nemesis1911,that's it | 05:13 |
| Nemesis1911 | yinlong: ok and then? | 05:13 |
| solarisBoy | _Trinity_: when you plug in the drive,, what output do you get in dmesg? | 05:13 |
| nanotube | _Trinity_: well, there's only one disk showing in fdisk -l - so your usb stick is not being seen by the system at all... | 05:13 |
| ^mNotIntelligent | wrapster, its flickering too much...okey....wait a min | 05:13 |
| lightness | ^mNotIntelligent probs? | 05:13 |
| yinlong | use the command "grub" as root | 05:13 |
| _Trinity_ | nanotube: yes I thought so | 05:14 |
| ^mNotIntelligent | nevermind | 05:14 |
| ctmjr | wrapster: try to change the refresh rate you should have a display settings in your menu | 05:14 |
| wrapster | ^mNotIntelligent: too much as in the case of a drunken maniac!!!! trying to drive a car | 05:14 |
| wrapster | its that bad | 05:14 |
| nanotube | _Trinity_: is the usb stick plugged in? are you plugging it in directly, or through a usb hub? also, as solarisBoy says, check your system log for any interesting messages when you plug in your stick. | 05:14 |
| solarisBoy | _Trinity_: unplug the drive run "tail -f /var/log/messages &" and plug it back in | 05:14 |
| _Trinity_ | but there is a command I can't think of right now where something shows up a Kisngston and it's not ram | 05:14 |
| ^mNotIntelligent | wrapster, must be monitor refresh rate issue...change thta | 05:14 |
| yinlong | Nemesis1911,do you know which partition your boot partition is? | 05:14 |
| solarisBoy | ceacro: has the card ever worked? | 05:14 |
| dsnyders | _Trinity_, are you thinking of lsusb? | 05:15 |
| Nemesis1911 | ext3 | 05:15 |
| ceacro | yeah, with kuki linux | 05:15 |
| ceacro | with windows xp | 05:15 |
| _Trinity_ | the usb stick is plugged into my keyboard | 05:15 |
| solarisBoy | hmm | 05:15 |
| wrapster | ctmjr: i did open it up but it says "it appears your graphics drivers are not supported" | 05:15 |
| solarisBoy | _Trinity_: is that usb drive recognized? | 05:15 |
| wrapster | ctmjr: im have a nvdia 8series | 05:15 |
| solarisBoy | slot rather | 05:15 |
| wrapster | that is not supported>? | 05:15 |
| ^mNotIntelligent | wrapster, put your h/w details... | 05:15 |
| _Trinity_ | dsnyders: yes | 05:15 |
| yinlong | Nemesis1911,i mean how many partitions are there in your HD? | 05:15 |
| thiebaude | wrapster, which graphics card do you have? | 05:15 |
| Nemesis1911 | 3 | 05:16 |
| Nemesis1911 | yinlong : sorry 2 | 05:16 |
| _Trinity_ | dsnyders: Bus 001 Device 005: ID 13fe:1a20 Kingston Technology Company Inc. | 05:16 |
| nanotube | _Trinity_: try "lsusb" command, too. | 05:16 |
| dsnyders | _Trinity_, Try plugging the usb into the machine directly. I've had problems in the past with keyboard usb slots not having enough power | 05:16 |
| solarisBoy | i agree with dsnyders | 05:16 |
| Nemesis1911 | yinlong: 1 ntfs .. and one for ubuntu | 05:16 |
| nanotube | dsnyders: heh, you beat me on the lsusb, then. | 05:16 |
| yinlong | Nemesis1911,only two?oh,ok | 05:16 |
| wrapster | thiebaude: nvidia geforce 8 series | 05:17 |
| ctmjr | wrapster: what does system > administration > hardware drivers show? | 05:17 |
| nanotube | _Trinity_: as they say, try plugging it in directly - that was the reason i asked you earlier if it's plugged in directly or through a hub. :) | 05:17 |
| thiebaude | wrapster, my bad, i seen that earlier | 05:17 |
| Nemesis1911 | yinlong: so how do I get back into Ubuntu cuz windows is killig me | 05:17 |
| _Trinity_ | nanotube: I got something | 05:17 |
| * thiebaude time to get coffee | 05:17 | |

| ctmjr | wrapster: ok | 05:18 |
| solarisBoy | netbook? | 05:19 |
| nanotube | _Trinity_: is that when you plug in through the keyboard? or when directly? | 05:19 |
| ceacro | yeah | 05:19 |
| solarisBoy | hmm | 05:19 |
| ceacro | it is a netbook | 05:19 |
| yinlong | Nemesis1911,frist,as i told you ,use the command "grub" int ubuntu as root. | 05:19 |

| lightness | ^mNotIntelligent tried it and gave this message: "dpkg - warning: ignoring request to remove virtualbox which isn't installed" | 05:20 |
| nanotube | _Trinity_: well, try it directly - if ubuntu doesn't like it when plugged through the keyboard, there's little you can do to convince it otherwise. (unless google turns up something interesting) | 05:20 |
| Nemesis1911 | ok | 05:20 |
| ceacro | I am working now in my 3GSM usb modem | 05:20 |

| nanotube | _Trinity_: ah, insufficient available bus power - well, there's your couse. | 05:21 |
| nanotube | _Trinity_: cause, that is. | 05:21 |
| ^mNotIntelligent | lightness, first get the complete pkg name useing this: dpkg -l | grep -i virtualbox | 05:21 |
| ^mNotIntelligent | lightness, seems you put wrong/incomplete name hence that message | 05:21 |
| solarisBoy | i figured the device wasn't receiving proper power | 05:21 |
| _Trinity_ | hey guys, when I unplug the endrive lsusb doesn't list Bus 001 Device 006: ID 13fe:1a20 Kingston Technology Company Inc. | 05:21 |
| yinlong | Nemesis1911,the "X" in "root (hd0,X)" refers to the number of your ext3 partiton | 05:21 |
| Nemesis1911 | yinlong: thats it? | 05:21 |
| solarisBoy | thats usually the culprit for usb weirdness | 05:22 |
| _Trinity_ | nanotube: Oohhh there it is. Thanks nano. | 05:22 |
| _Trinity_ | I'm going to try it directly | 05:22 |
| nanotube | _Trinity_: so, if you have any usb ports on the machine itself, plug directly | 05:22 |
| nanotube | _Trinity_: yea :) | 05:23 |
| ceacro | it recognizes everything but ethernet | 05:23 |
| ceacro | my wireless works like charm | 05:23 |
| yinlong | Nemesis1911,thridly,use "setup (hd0)" | 05:23 |

| * dsnyders holds his cup towards ^mNotIntelligent hopefully | 05:25 | |
| saru | how do I figure out what graphics drivers Ubuntu installed from the Live CD? | 05:25 |
| scatterp | dsnyders, is there a way to split the file and recombine it in windows with out damaging it (its important data) | 05:25 |
| Nemesis1911 | yup grub,,, root (hd0,x) and then setup (hd0) and all done right.. | 05:25 |
| ctmjr | saru it's vesa | 05:26 |
| dsnyders | scatterp, you could try zipping it. | 05:26 |
| lightness | ^mNotIntelligent yes and then tried it apt-get remove with the correct name and worked many thanks | 05:26 |
| saru | ? | 05:26 |
| scatterp | dsnyders, how do i make it a split zip ? | 05:26 |
| ^mNotIntelligent | lightness, cool....you're welcome | 05:26 |
| saru | is Vesa just some standard graphics driver? | 05:26 |
| scatterp | dsnyders, like 500mb a piece | 05:26 |
| solarisBoy | ha . i make my login theme the Xfile intro music | 05:26 |
| solarisBoy | => | 05:26 |
| yinlong | Nemesis1911,do you know what X in "root (hd0,X)" means?it's the key. | 05:26 |
| ADmiral | Hi, [repeating] please help me with my microphone! /dev/audio does give output, but recording via ALSA doesn't work. | 05:26 |
| ctmjr | saru: the graphics driver is vesa by default on the live cd | 05:27 |
| Nemesis1911 | yinlong: what key? | 05:27 |
| dsnyders | scatterp, there's a program called zipsplit which might help. | 05:27 |
| solarisBoy | is it muted? | 05:27 |
| scatterp | ok | 05:27 |
| yinlong | Nemesis1911,i mean it's IMPORTANT. | 05:27 |
| saru | ctmjr, i've already installed Ubuntu onto the system though and wanna figure out what driver my graphics card is using. | 05:27 |
| ADmiral | no, sadly not :( I did the alsamixer - unmute everything thing | 05:27 |
| scatterp | hrm dont see it on the repos | 05:27 |
| yinlong | Nemesis1911,do you know the number of your ext3 partition is? | 05:28 |
| ADmiral | I get either a faint noise or a loud screeching one, but can't record properly. | 05:28 |
| dsnyders | scatterp, or you might try scp/putty and pull it from the windows end instead of pushing it from the linux end. | 05:28 |
| scatterp | dsnyders, i thought of that not sure how to do that.... | 05:29 |
| ctmjr | saru: that is not what you asked but try this egrep "Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers" /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 05:29 |
| Nemesis1911 | yinlong: i'm not sure | 05:29 |

| Berzerker | anyone having a problem installing add-ons for firefox right now? | 05:31 |
| yinlong | Nemesis1911,if you are not sure,you can try the "X" from 0 to 1 now that there are only two partitons in all. | 05:31 |
| _Trinity_ | sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/pendrive | 05:31 |
| _Trinity_ | did work | 05:31 |

| ctmjr | saru: that is what it should do it just finds the driver line in the log and prints it to the screen | 05:33 |
| solarisBoy | if thats running ur windows client should only need to connect to ssh | 05:33 |
| Berzerker | nanotube: mine is just stuck on connecting for all add-ons I try to download | 05:34 |
| ctmjr | saru: are you having problems with it or just wanting to know what the driver was? | 05:35 |
| saru | well im having frame rate issues with World of Warcraft while using Wine | 05:35 |
| nanotube | Berzerker: hrm, just tried, works for me... try going to the website addons.mozilla.org, and installing through there, instead of using the panel - maybe that will work for you | 05:35 |
| saru | the settings in the game are turned all day to really low. | 05:35 |

| nanotube | Berzerker: the website wasn't working? | 05:36 |
| saru | but im thinking maybe im missing some sort of extra driver to make things run better | 05:36 |
| Berzerker | nanotube: no the website worked, but I still couldn't install anything, btw do you know how to fix the "choose an application" when clicking on "open containing folder" in firefox | 05:36 |
| saru | ctmjr, i just checked the package manager and it says im running xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.6.3-0ubuntu9.3 | 05:37 |

| saru | don't know what Jaunty is... | 05:38 |
| Berzerker | nanotube: nope, just sits at Connecting to releases.mozilla.org.... | 05:38 |
| nanotube | Berzerker: also, no, never ran into that problem... for open containing folder. | 05:38 |
| ctmjr | saru: what ubuntu distro are you using | 05:38 |
| thiebaude | saru, which graphics card do you have? | 05:38 |
| nanotube | Berzerker: that's weird, it shouldn't be connecting to 'releases.mozilla.org', but to 'addons.mozilla.org' | 05:38 |
| saru | thiebaude, i am trying to figure that out to make sure i have or need to get the correct drivers for it | 05:39 |
| nanotube | Berzerker: or are you trying to upgrade the browser itself? | 05:39 |
| Berzerker | no | 05:39 |

| Berzerker | I go to addons.mozilla.org, search for adblock plus | 05:39 |
| genii-around | saru: "Jaunty" is a prticular Ubuntu version (9.04) command: lsb_release -a tells what version you have | 05:39 |
| Berzerker | click add to firefox, and sits at connecting | 05:39 |
| GLG | ok this is becoming irritating i can't apply the xorg.conf settings unless i save and reset the server but when i reset it resets to before i saved grrrrrrrr | 05:39 |

| mezquitale | ADmiral, you want to basically first record yourself sing and then you want to record yourself again singing to what you first recorded??? something like that? | 06:07 |
| ADmiral | mezquitale: I want to play games and comment on them, then stream the whole thing to someone else. By the way, I also could use a hint on a good live video streaming application ;) | 06:09 |
| ADmiral | And I don't want to lose the in-game sounds. | 06:09 |
| Dave0101 | Anyone who knows... I've recently disabled root over ssh in Ubuntu LTS. I do need an ssh account with permissions to /var/www/. I was told to change ownership on everything to www-data.www-data, despite default owner being root. Should I make a new account, and will adding it to the www-data group give me standard +rw on everything? | 06:09 |
| mezquitale | preetam, if it aint broken, dont fix it, i've had BIG issues every since I upgraded and going back to 8.04 didnt help much either so dont upgrade unless you have a good reason | 06:09 |

| DesertEagle | OMG please help :( | 06:11 |
| nanotube | Dave0101: well, the stuff in /var/www better be readable by the user under whose name your webserver is running. | 06:11 |
| DesertEagle | stupid mosue won't work right | 06:11 |
| nanotube | Dave0101: if you have any dynamic content, writable too. | 06:12 |
| mezquitale | ADmiral, if youre going to be commenting on a video format then I don't know how to do that. Audacity does let you record over an existing recording but I never tried doing it over video | 06:12 |
| nanotube | Dave0101: once you have those constraints satisfield - you can do whatever you want. | 06:12 |
| Dave0101 | nanotube: I just did a ps list and it looks like apache has one proc as root, rest as www-data | 06:12 |
| chez | legend2440: i want to make a partition on the drive and then move my home folder their wihtout deleting anything | 06:12 |

| saru | where is the xorg config located in Ubuntu? | 06:13 |
| ADmiral | legend2440, ok thanks, right now I'm trying to mix together mic input and soundcard output, I'll look for a streaming application later. | 06:13 |
| Dave0101 | nanotube: I guess I'm looking for best practice. Is it to give g+rw on everything and make a new user that's a member of www-data? | 06:13 |

| Dave0101 | nanotube: Good deal. I'll make those changes. Appreciate the help! | 06:14 |
| mezquitale | ADmiral, maybe someone in #alsa can help you out, you have to go there earlier though when the gurus are around | 06:15 |
| linuxguy2009 | Anyone have experience with a Dell mini 10v and Jaunty or even Hardy for that matter? I'm trying to get the webcam mic to work. I go to /proc/asound/ I have the phone/mic jacks on the side show up as device "Intel" and within that folder there is pcm0c and pcm0p, c meaning capture device and p meaning playback device. Doesnt seem to list a second device for the webcam mic. This probably a kernel support issue? | 06:15 |
| wrapster | ctmjr: excellent it worked.. but i have a slight issue with the screen resolution.. now i have a resolution of 1027x768 earlier i was able to see a much higher resolution.. how may i get the same | 06:15 |
| nanotube | Dave0101: no prob :) | 06:16 |
| nanotube | Bobrobyn: the "real" java is package "sun-java6-jre" (or -jdk), so just install that one. | 06:16 |
| ADmiral | mezquitale, and they won't be angry with me for asking an Ubuntu related question, where Ubuntu uses PulseAudio? :) I don't even know how ALSA relates to PulseAudio, but I hope they won't turn me down for off-topic'ing or anything. | 06:16 |
| mezquitale | linuxguy2009, ever since pulseaudio made its debut in jaunty configuring a mic is a pain. I was never able to do it that's why Im trying karmic alpha release | 06:16 |
| linuxguy2009 | mezquitale: You have a Mini or something simaler you have a mic issue with too? | 06:17 |
| mezquitale | ADmiral, the answer is simple. Tell them youre using jaunty and are having serious issues. You dont want to use pulseaudio, you want to use ALSA. Tell them what you want to do and if someone is around they will guide you through the process | 06:17 |
| guru_ | HI ALL | 06:17 |

| mezquitale | linuxguy2009, no, I have a Dell Laptop and the mic used to work fine with 8.10. I wanted to try jaunty and now I realize the mistake I made, it's too late to fix it so I just move on | 06:18 |

| nanotube | Dave0101: ubottu is a bot :P | 06:20 |
| Dave0101 | I see that now. :) | 06:20 |
| wrapster | ctmjr: yes i've opened it up | 06:20 |
| legend2440 | saru: no if you want root terminal type sudo -i in terminal. if you are editing xorg.conf then type gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 06:20 |
| Dave0101 | I should have guess, that's clearly too witty for off-the-cuff! | 06:20 |
| mezquitale | linuxguy2009, if youre going to download Alpha6 then you might as well try ubuntustudio, that's what it's for and it's got plenty of already configured applications | 06:20 |
| Casper1 | hey im trying to get my wifi to work with ubuntu.linux 9.04 but having trouble. help some1? | 06:20 |
| ctmjr | wrapster: you can change the settings in there | 06:20 |
| nanotube | Dave0101: hehe so i should try to avoid being too witty, or else people will think i'm a bot? i'm not sure i'm liking the sound of that. :) | 06:21 |
| mezquitale | Casper1, what error are you getting?? are you using the network applet? | 06:21 |
| Dave0101 | Right. What do they call it... a turing test? | 06:21 |
| Casper1 | yes im using the network applet | 06:22 |
| Casper1 | yesterday | 06:22 |
| Casper1 | i tried to get it to work | 06:22 |
| saru | legend2440, thank you it helped me :) | 06:22 |
| Casper1 | i could connect but i couldnt get on the internet, and today i cant even detect the connection | 06:22 |
| nanotube | Dave0101: indeed. | 06:22 |
| saru | how do i go about restarting my X without logging off just Ctrl Alt Backspace? | 06:23 |
| legend2440 | saru: you may want to backup old xorg.conf first in case anything goes wrong | 06:23 |
| wrapster | ctmjr: yes i changed that.. but i noticed that if i go any higher than 1024x768 it starts to flicker again. | 06:23 |
| wrapster | but at that resolution its perfect | 06:23 |
| ramkumar_ | hi budd | 06:23 |
| saru | legend2440, i did :) | 06:23 |
| saru | is it the same as other distro's to restart it, ctrl alt backspace? | 06:23 |
| ctmjr | wrapster: can you change the refresh rate make it higher? | 06:23 |
| legend2440 | !dontzap | saru | 06:24 |
| ubottu | saru: 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. | 06:24 |
| mezquitale | Casper1, you might want to check if the wireless is actually on. Type "iwconfig" and you should see a little more detail on the configuration | 06:24 |
| nanotube | saru: i recall there being some talk about disabling ctl-alt-bksp... try it, if it doesn't work, just ctl-alt-f2 to a vty, and run "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart" | 06:24 |
| ramkumar_ | how i lock the folders in ubuntu? | 06:24 |
| legend2440 | saru: in jaunty ctrl alt backspace has been disabled | 06:24 |
| Casper1 | says no wireless conections | 06:24 |
| mezquitale | Casper1, are you on the wireless router now and with your laptop in front of you? | 06:24 |
| saru | legend2440, so how do you normally restart your X manager? | 06:25 |
| mezquitale | !zap | 06:25 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about zap | 06:25 |
| Casper1 | no im using my modem right now | 06:25 |
| mezquitale | !dontzap | 06:25 |
| ubottu | 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. | 06:25 |
| nanotube | legend2440: alt-sysrq-k ? wtf? in what way is that better than ctl-alt-bs ? | 06:25 |
| mamooli | is there anybody there? | 06:25 |

| loki_ | well this is cool | 06:28 |
| zoopie | thanks legend2440!!! appreciate that | 06:28 |
| guru_ | Yes MAMOOLI i can help u plz | 06:28 |
| mamooli | why after sudo apt-get install apache2 when i type localhost i encounter not found page? | 06:28 |
| mezquitale | Casper1, it's going to be a little difficult diagnosing the problem when you dont have the actual devices in front of you. This is what I suggest you do. 1. Configure your router temporarily with no security. 2. configure your wireless NIC in your laptop to use the wireless conection from your router. 3. If it works then add encryption to your router and configure your nic in your laptop and see if youre able to connect | 06:29 |
| nanotube | legend2440: hm, i don't think so either... | 06:29 |
| n8tuser | mamooli-> i dont think localhost is a command | 06:29 |
| nanotube | n8tuser: hmm interesting. well... at least they didn't disable both of them. :) | 06:29 |
| guru_ | sorry mamoli am not got at that | 06:29 |
| nanotube | mamooli: you mean, you open a browser and navigate to "localhost", right? | 06:29 |
| om26er | zoopie: u there | 06:29 |
| mamooli | n8tuser: i mean i type it in browser's address bar | 06:29 |
| Casper1 | oh i missunderstood. I have all the stuff in front of me im just hooked up to the modem right now. and i tried that already. doesnt work | 06:29 |
| mamooli | nanotube: yes | 06:30 |
| genii-around | mamooli: Does: 127.0.0.1 work? | 06:30 |
| n8tuser | mamooli-> look in your /etc/hosts file if that is defined | 06:30 |
| ramkumar_ | Can anybody tell how i work with md5 crypt.. for asking password while i am try to edit my grub lines before booting? | 06:30 |
| mamooli | look i dont have /etc/hosts | 06:30 |
| n8tuser | mamooli-> you need one | 06:30 |
| ctmjr | !bye | 06:30 |
| ubottu | Au revoir! | 06:30 |
| om26er | zoopie: sudo gedit /etc/gdm/custom.conf | 06:30 |
| n8tuser | mamooli-> if you dont have one, sudo or other system tools may not even work | 06:31 |
| mamooli | wait | 06:31 |

| mamooli | n8tuser: i have that file it was hidden | 06:35 |
| mamooli | n8tuser: what should i check inside? | 06:35 |
| n8tuser | mamooli-> pastebin the results | 06:36 |
| mamooli | ok | 06:36 |
| nemesis1911 | Hey guys how would I make a lets say download folder that both ubuntu and windows 7 could see and use? | 06:36 |
| Ben64 | nemesis1911: windows can read/write ext3 if you install a driver | 06:37 |
| booleancat | Hello, I'm back again. I'm having trouble with my ~/.bashrc file not loading upon login, but if I type "bash" at the command prompt, everything loads as expected. Any ideas? | 06:37 |
| nemesis1911 | Ben6: how | 06:37 |
| nemesis1911 | how to im someone? | 06:37 |
| nemesis1911 | how do i | 06:37 |
| mamooli | n8tuser: i dont know what these rats have done with pastebin, it doesnt load | 06:37 |
| mamooli | can send them to you in private? | 06:38 |
| solarisBoy | =@ rats !!! | 06:38 |
| administrator_ | can i install .exe on ubuntu 9 | 06:38 |
| solarisBoy | with wine yes | 06:38 |
| Ben64 | nemesis1911: http://www.fs-driver.org/ | 06:38 |
| n8tuser | mamooli-> okay just this time | 06:38 |
| Ben64 | administrator_: depends what exe | 06:38 |
| solarisBoy | that too | 06:38 |
| nemesis1911 | Ben64: thx dude ;-) I love this ROOM!!! | 06:38 |
| booleancat | Specifically, I have some custom software installed that needs $PATH to be updated, but it won't make the changes | 06:39 |
| SilentJonathan | I think i know now, make a sock tunnel | 06:39 |
| administrator_ | programm which runs on xp | 06:39 |
| solarisBoy | !love | 06:39 |
| ubottu | Love is like racing across the frozen tundra on a snowmobile which flips over, trapping you underneath. At night, the ice-weasels come. | 06:39 |
| Ben64 | administrator_: like i said, depends on what, not everything works | 06:40 |
| solarisBoy | wine has an xp mode still depends which exe it is and if supported by wine | 06:40 |
| sebsebseb | nemesis1911: see my pm, also that driver might not work with Windows 7 | 06:40 |
| Ben64 | if it works on vista, it works on 7 | 06:40 |
| preetam | hi | 06:41 |
| LucidGuy | Looking for the most polished eye Candy Linux distro out there. From the looks of it Im obviuntously looking for a distro packaged with KDE. Currently its a tie between LinuxMint KDE and Kubuntu. Any suggestions? | 06:42 |
| administrator_ | A + tranining program it has come with .exe so how i install it on ubuntu | 06:42 |
| booleancat | LucidGuy: It's a bit offtopic for #ubuntu, but I've heard that opensuse is where most of the KDE4 development occurs. Try that | 06:43 |
| mamooli | n8tuser: u think i have to reinstall ubuntu? | 06:43 |
| n8tuser | mamooli go ahead, so you can learn | 06:43 |
| trakcyia | how can I make Ubuntu load to System RAM, and boot from its system RAM copy at boot? | 06:44 |
| n8tuser | trakcyia-> where did you learn about that? | 06:45 |
| trakcyia | well, some liveCD's do it to give the user cdrom use | 06:45 |
| trakcyia | i want it for different reasons | 06:45 |
| Ben64 | trakcyia: do you realize that system ram gets erased every time you turn the computer off? | 06:45 |
| trakcyia | yes thats why i want it | 06:45 |
| booleancat | trakcyia: What you're doing is pretty complicated, but it would probably be possible with ramfs | 06:45 |
| trakcyia | i restore my backup three times a week | 06:45 |
| trakcyia | i would do it more times per week if i wasnt so lazy to boot the rescue cd | 06:46 |
| trakcyia | if it could happen automagically, that would be heaven | 06:46 |
| trakcyia | not to mention, fast | 06:46 |
| n8tuser | trakcyia-> reread the tutorial where you learned it from, im sure it has more details | 06:46 |
| trakcyia | n8tuser there was no howto, i just know the rescue cd i use, it loads itself to system RAM, then boots | 06:46 |
| Ben64 | trakcyia: having memory erased won't help, the feds can still get you | 06:46 |
| trakcyia | ben64, its about speed, and clutter | 06:47 |
| n8tuser | trakcyia-> your clue would be ramfs, so look for a tutorial on this | 06:47 |
| trakcyia | n8tuser will do | 06:47 |
| legend2440 | trakcyia: do you use partimage or something else? | 06:48 |
| trakcyia | clonezilla, because partimage does not work with my ACHI drive | 06:48 |
| trakcyia | and clonezilla crashes grub if i dont use it in 'expert mode' and disable mbr related stuff | 06:48 |
| mark92691 | Any support for middle button of three-button mouse? | 06:49 |
| Ben64 | mark92691: should "just work" | 06:50 |
| mark92691 | Mouse middle button doesn't work at all on my system. Pressing it has no effect. | 06:50 |
| genii-around | For whoever was asking about how to dial-in to their ubuntu box and then use it's internet connection, may want to look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=150339 but instead of the modifications to /etc/inittab, make the changes suggested for that file into one of the tty# entries in /etc/event.d | 06:50 |
| Ben64 | well what situation are you using it in | 06:50 |
| Ben64 | in firefox, should open a link in a new tab | 06:50 |
| Ben64 | in terminal, should paste | 06:51 |
| mark92691 | With Firefox, trying to scroll (as it does in Windoze). | 06:51 |
| Ben64 | middle button scroll? or is it a wheel? | 06:51 |
| legend2440 | trakcyia: ok i asked because i have a script that runs partimage by selecting it from the grub menu list at boot. no need to load rescue cd | 06:51 |
| mark92691 | It's a button; an old three-button mouse. | 06:51 |
| Ben64 | mark92691: try clicking a link in firefox with it | 06:51 |
| JesseW | What does the "Upstream version" column mean in launchpad, e.g. on https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt ? | 06:52 |
| mark92691 | Worked | 06:52 |
| JesseW | (let me know if there is somewhere else I should ask this) | 06:52 |
| traveller | mark92691, make sure you have autoscrolling enabled in firefox, you can find it in Edit > Preferences > Advanced | 06:52 |
| trakcyia | legend2440 it should be modifiable, the entire clonezilla operation can be run in a single line | 06:52 |
| Ben64 | so... the middle button works, you just want it to bring up that scrolly thing | 06:52 |
| trakcyia | legend2440 i plan on doing something with puppy similar to that | 06:52 |
| mark92691 | Fixed. Thank you. | 06:53 |
| mark92691 | I was looking for an Ubuntu setting; didn't realize I needed a Firefox setting. :) | 06:53 |
| mark92691 | Thanks to both of you. | 06:53 |
| trakcyia | here someone already had the idea im looking at, but even better | 06:54 |
| trakcyia | instead of waiting for files to be loaded, it loads them to ram, but not stuff in your /home directory. | 06:54 |
| trakcyia | So using the ram to cache entire programs, and the entire OS, and only using the harddisk to save stuff back onto when they change. Its a good idea. | 06:54 |
| trakcyia | best of both worlds it seems, assuming there is available ram space | 06:54 |

| U8untu | n8tuser the rest of connections..i mean..only the people form my LAN can connect.. for example you can`t connect to the server..it says.. connection refused.. i heard something about open port..i dont know how to | 07:56 |
| w00k | hi guys is it safe to disconnect my phone even if it has a entry present in the 'lsusb' command, i did unmount it , but i got no notification in my phone saying that the usb can be pulled out | 07:56 |
| n8tuser | U8untu-> why are you even running an irc server if you dont understand networking? | 07:57 |
| U8untu | n8tuser i want to.. explore..to m ake new friends..thats why.. :| but i want ..event the outside users to join..not just the LAN | 07:58 |
| jimbeam12 | hey genii thx ..it worked....... | 07:59 |
| ReAn | Thanks David-T | 07:59 |
| n8tuser | U8untu-> i suggest you learn about networking first and include firewalling or iptables after. these are complicated features that requires more know how, you need to spend time learning networking first | 07:59 |
| genii-around | jimbeam12: np | 07:59 |
| prodigel | U8untu, just join an existing irc server, it's much easier, and surely much popular to make new friends | 07:59 |
| jimbeam12 | genii u know any good torrent program like utorrent | 07:59 |
| Morphu1 | category5 :) | 07:59 |
| U8untu | prodigel i want to set up my own irc.. :| | 08:00 |
| n8tuser | U8untu-> also you need to understand as minimum what a server is and what a client is.. | 08:00 |
| genii-around | jimbeam12: I'm using a dedicated server with web based torrent system called torrentflux | 08:00 |
| U8untu | n8tuser i know about servers ..i was admin.. ircop..i know.. | 08:01 |
| === iolion-need-soun is now known as iolion-needsound | ||
| U8untu | but i dont figure out how to open a port | 08:01 |
| n8tuser | U8untu-> then let me narrow it down to firewalling and iptables, that should clue you in what ports are to allow and blocked | 08:01 |
| jimbeam12 | are u happy with it genii.. | 08:02 |
| n8tuser | btw outcomming is not a network terminology, you'll confuse people | 08:02 |

| Gnea | !sound | iolion (this is a good place to start) | 08:42 |
| ubottu | iolion (this is a good place to start): If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 08:42 |

| geirha | ManDay: Well, when you get a message from glibc, your program is doing something terribly wrong. The best would be to fix the program. | 08:49 |
| Darael | Can anyone think of a reason for compiz to segfault repeatedly? It only seems to happen with Firefox open. | 08:50 |
| mneptok | Casper1: try "sudo ifconfig wlan0 up" | 08:50 |
| ManDay | geirha, that's not my problem. | 08:50 |
| Gnea | ManDay: not really, 2>&1 outputs stderr to stdout, which in turn is outputted to the logfile. if it's not working that way, then something is wrong with your shell. | 08:50 |

| indus | iolion: hello | 08:50 |
| geirha | Gnea: glibc is apparently writing directly to the terminal | 08:51 |
| ManDay | Gnea, why would you blame the shell? Does it work for you? | 08:51 |
| Gnea | ManDay: or, something is wrong with your program. perhaps it's not including the correct header files. | 08:51 |
| Casper1 | mneptok: still not visible | 08:51 |
| indus | iolion: network bandwidth monitor is also available from system monitor like znh said | 08:51 |
| mneptok | Casper1: pastebin the output of "ifconfig" | 08:51 |
| ManDay | Gnea, my program? My program is a one-liner. THe problem is always the same. glibc always does that - for numerous programs | 08:51 |
| Gnea | ManDay: did you include stdio.h? | 08:51 |
| ManDay | Gnea, seriously, why would I ? | 08:52 |
| Gnea | ManDay: http://www.cs.bu.edu/teaching/c/file-io/intro/ | 08:52 |
| ManDay | It's not in the scope of my program to make glibc work properly | 08:52 |
| Gnea | ManDay: but it's in the scope of your program to work correctly. | 08:52 |
| ManDay | It's a c++ program | 08:52 |
| Gnea | I don't care | 08:52 |
| ManDay | Gnea, my program is meant to throw this error | 08:52 |
| Gnea | #include <stdio.h> | 08:52 |

| Casper1 | mneptok: http://pastebin.com/d71de7867 | 08:53 |

| ManDay | indus, not really | 08:53 |
| indus | ok | 08:53 |
| mneptok | Casper1: you're wireless card is now active | 08:53 |

| mneptok | Casper1: look again in NetworkManager | 08:54 |
| mneptok | *your | 08:54 |
| geirha | ManDay: I'm not proficient enough with expect to help you though, so you'll have to google or try #expect or #tcl (if they exist) | 08:54 |
| ManDay | geirha, Gnea i included <stdio.h> but still the error is send to the terminal | 08:54 |
| Casper1 | menptok: nothing still, some1 else sugested i conect directly to the router? should i do so | 08:54 |
| ManDay | i dont see why my program would be responsible for that | 08:55 |
| ManDay | Gnea, have you tried reproducing it? geirha what is your result? | 08:55 |
| Casper1 | mneptok: im curently conected via modem | 08:55 |
| mneptok | Casper1: well, that will rule out wireless problems | 08:55 |
| geirha | ManDay: The easy fix is to set the variable to NULL right after doing a free. free(NULL) is safe. | 08:55 |
| tasslehoff | I have mounted a share using smbfs. Windows users mounting the same share can see the folders I create, but not the files. Que??? | 08:55 |
| ManDay | geirha, it's not about my program. I wrote this program to throw the error in order to fix the issue with glibc. | 08:55 |
| Gnea | ManDay: I stand corrected - that's really weird. oh well, yeah, you'll need to ask in a programming channel, like #c++ | 08:55 |
| Casper1 | mneptok: so its my card then? | 08:56 |
| mneptok | Casper1: no | 08:56 |
| ManDay | Gnea, I've already discussed this there. They agree that it's a linux issue | 08:56 |
| Casper1 | mneptok: then what is the problem | 08:56 |
| mneptok | Casper1: look at the 2 pastebin outputs you sent. after you manually ran "sudo ifconfig wlan0 up" the card started working. | 08:56 |
| Gnea | ManDay: k, well we just support Ubuntu in a rather user-friendly, non-lowlevel environment here. perhaps #ubuntu-devel | 08:56 |
| ManDay | Ok I'll try thanks | 08:57 |
| Gnea | good luck | 08:57 |
| mneptok | Casper1: i suspect your router is either not broadcasting the SSID, is doing MAC filtering, or somesuch. | 08:57 |
| Casper1 | mneptok: What would i need to do to fix that? | 08:57 |

| mneptok | Casper1: uhhhhh .... in the WAP's adfmin interface? | 08:59 |

| Casper1 | I'm not sure, thats what im trying to figure out lol | 09:06 |

| cheater | did it work Casper1? | 09:08 |
| mneptok | Casper1: your wireless router. check and make sure that it is broadcasting the SSID. your wireless card is active, based upon the output of ifconfig. | 09:08 |
| Casper1 | cheater: nope, which is why I'm still on the modem lol | 09:08 |
| cheater | Casper1: connect it via the wire and call customer support. | 09:09 |

| Casper1 | I will try again though. | 09:09 |

| cheater | return it to the shop and get a different one | 09:09 |
| Casper1 | cheater: that i might do | 09:10 |
| Gnea | Casper1: odd, what access point make/model do you have? | 09:10 |
| cheater | yeah | 09:10 |
| Darael | Could someone take a look at http://paste.ubuntu.com/275111/ and tell me why compiz is crashing? | 09:10 |
| Casper1 | Gnea: netgear | 09:10 |
| cheater | that's fairly crap | 09:10 |
| mneptok | Gnea: care to explain the "misleading things" comment? | 09:10 |
| cheater | is it dell or something | 09:10 |
| cheater | oh | 09:10 |
| cheater | Casper1: do they do that with all their products? | 09:10 |
| Casper1 | cheater: idk first netgear product I've owned | 09:11 |
| Gnea | mneptok: I was being sarcasting about the "02:45 < mneptok> iolion: yes, buy the same laptop i have :P" comment, best just to let it flow under the bridge. | 09:11 |
| Armageddon | is there any package to customize a distribution based on Ubuntu or wtvr ? | 09:11 |
| Gnea | Casper1: yes, but a netgear what? it should have a sticker on it that shows the model # | 09:12 |
| mneptok | Gnea: when i'm trying to help someone, please do not cast apsersions on my advice. | 09:12 |
| cheater | Casper1: just for that, i'd bring it back and get a different brand. | 09:13 |
| Gnea | mneptok: then please, don't say things to people who are looking for serious help like that. | 09:13 |
| cheater | Casper1: that's unacceptable.. | 09:13 |
| cheater | imo. | 09:13 |
| mneptok | Gnea: both of us were joking. it was clear i was not being serious. it was NOT clear you were being sarcastic. | 09:13 |
| cheater | Casper1: have you tried calling your ISP? they might be able to help you with different routers | 09:13 |
| mneptok | Casper1: look at the ouput you sent to pastebin - http://pastebin.com/d71de7867 | 09:14 |

| Casper1 | still nothing | 09:14 |

| d_ | Anyone know how I set up a static ip for my computer to my router. | 09:15 |
| mneptok | Casper1: you have to switch to an Ethernet cable plugged into the Netgear | 09:15 |
| Casper1 | 09:15 | |
| mneptok | d_: wired connection? | 09:16 |
| aaron11 | helo does anyone know how to get the network passwords because i have a windows computer that i want to connect to but its asking for a password | 09:16 |
| Casper1 | didnt work | 09:16 |
| d_ | mneptok: yes wired. I am trying to set up a vpn to another network, so i need to do port forwrding and that requers a static ip from the computer to the router. I think | 09:16 |
| mneptok | d_: edit /etc/network/interfaces | 09:17 |
| mneptok | d_: lemme get you a template | 09:17 |
| znh | aaron11: that is a windows related question. | 09:17 |
| Darael | aaron11: use a username and password from that machine. The user that set up the share is best | 09:17 |
| d_ | nice! thanks mneptok | 09:17 |
| mneptok | d_: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/272226/ | 09:17 |
| Gnea | Casper1: what didn't work, exactly? | 09:18 |
| mneptok | d_: obviously, replace the addresses with what matches your network | 09:18 |
| d_ | mneptok: checking now. ok, will replace the address. | 09:18 |
| Casper1 | Gnea: I connected the router directly to the computer via ethernet cable and still could not connect/navigate to loggin screen | 09:19 |
| Gnea | Casper1: did you allow your computer to obtain an IP from it first? | 09:19 |
| d_ | mneptok: I'm kinda new. what do i do with that? | 09:19 |
| mneptok | Casper1: you were gone for ~30 seconds. that's not long wnough to get a DHCP lease and test. | 09:19 |
| Casper1 | Gnea: The computer imidiately tried but failed | 09:19 |
| aaron111 | it got cut | 09:20 |
| d_ | I recongnize what it is, but how do I use it. | 09:20 |
| Casper1 | mneptok: do you think I'm lying? | 09:20 |
| Gnea | Casper1: how many ports does the netgear have? | 09:20 |
| mneptok | d_: pastebin the output of /etc/network/interfaces and the command "ifconfig" from the machine in question | 09:20 |
| Casper1 | 5 all together | 09:20 |
| Gnea | Casper1: and can you not find a model number on it? | 09:20 |
| Casper1 | Gnea: WGR614 | 09:20 |
| mneptok | Casper1: no, i think you just expected the connecton to work too quickly. | 09:21 |
| Gnea | thank you. | 09:21 |
| Casper1 | mneptok: i waited for the conection and it failed so i tried a different port and neither worked | 09:21 |
| Gnea | Casper1: okay, did it come with a manual? | 09:21 |
| mneptok | Casper1: sounds like your router has issues. | 09:22 |
| Casper1 | Gnea: No only a disk | 09:22 |
| Gnea | Casper1: you got it used? | 09:22 |
| aaron111 | helo does anyone know how to get the network passwords because i have a windows computer that i want to connect to but its asking for a password | 09:22 |
| Casper1 | Gnea: Brand new yesterday from radio shack | 09:22 |
| Casper1 | mneptok: I think your right lol | 09:22 |
| Gnea | Casper1: there HAS to be a manual. all brand-new routers have one. | 09:22 |
| Casper1 | Gnea: Like I said theres just a disk | 09:23 |
| mneptok | Casper1: did you go through an initial process of configuring that router via the admin web interface? | 09:23 |
| Gnea | you can NOT buy a brand new router at radio shack and NOT have a manual with it. simply impossible. | 09:23 |
| Gnea | Casper1: then re-check the box, maybe it slid behind a piece of something | 09:23 |
| Casper1 | Gnea: I thought it was wierd too but i even checked the "package contents" and it says nothing of a manual | 09:23 |
| Gnea | Casper1: in the meantime, find a pen or pencil | 09:23 |
| System-7 | this thing saying something about reloading samba keeps popping up and its annoying me, how do i stop it? | 09:23 |
| Casper1 | Gnea: Also double checked the box, and I have both | 09:24 |
| d_ | mneptok: do you know why some articles about port forwarding say that you should turn off port forwarding when you are not using it? I am trying to do a permanent connection to anther net work. | 09:24 |
| Casper1 | mneptok: yes i did | 09:24 |
| Gnea | Casper1: ok good. on the back, there should be a very small 'reset' button somewhere | 09:24 |
| Casper1 | Gnea: Hold for 10 seconds | 09:24 |
| Gnea | Casper1: k | 09:24 |
| System-7 | it just came up again | 09:24 |
| mneptok | d_: security. forward a port high enough and disabling it becomes less of a security concern. | 09:25 |

| mneptok | d_: if what you want is to connect your home network to another home network over a secure connection, you'll want to research IPSec. is your colleague also running Ubuntu or Linux? | 09:34 |
| SharpRain | k thanks | 09:34 |
| System-7 | Yes, its a server, but it was a normal ubuntu install originally | 09:35 |
| SharpRain | Wait what | 09:35 |
| SharpRain | I did that, it fixed it | 09:35 |
| SharpRain | now my cube is gone | 09:35 |

| d_ | mneptok: he uses linux. a couple of different ones. | 09:35 |
| mneptok | d_: IPSec is the way to go, then (Windows tends to use PPPtP for VPNs) | 09:36 |
| SharpRain | Help, desktop cube and rotate cube are checked but there is nothing there | 09:36 |
| SharpRain | the cube doesn't work.. | 09:36 |
| comicinker | SharpRain: <alt>F2 compiz --replace | 09:36 |
| SharpRain | I did it. | 09:36 |
| System-7 | theres plenty of stuff in the background, top shows that, not sure whats generating these messages though | 09:36 |
| SharpRain | It fixed my other problem. | 09:36 |
| SharpRain | Now I have a new one. | 09:36 |
| mneptok | d_: IPSec is not for the faint-of-heart, though. spend some time doing some research. | 09:36 |
| d_ | ok, i'll check out ipsec. What is that? software? addin? | 09:36 |
| Gnea | System-7: no, i mean in the background of the running shell | 09:37 |
| comicinker | SharpRain: do it again. if no success, reboot | 09:37 |
| mneptok | d_: standard protocol suite | 09:37 |
| mneptok | d_: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPsec | 09:37 |
| SharpRain | should I tick "run in terminal" > | 09:37 |
| Gnea | d_: openvpn might be a viable solution as well | 09:37 |

| SharpRain | My old problem is back now that ones fixed... | 09:38 |
| d_ | gnea: I looked at openvpn but I could not see a benefit to using it. it seems to geared toward windows users. | 09:39 |
| OriWB | Is there anything I can do to play Eternal Lands and have it freeze less? | 09:39 |
| Gnea | System-7: ah ha - check your /etc/syslog.conf file at the bottom, where it's outputting to /dev/xconsole | 09:39 |
| mneptok | d_: the easiest way to get this set up and running quickly is to buy a router with IPSec functinality built-in | 09:39 |
| Gnea | d_: disagreed. openvpn is cross-platform, it will work with linux, mac or windows.. and in between. it was developed on linux/bsd systems, initially. | 09:40 |
| System-7 | yes it shows up in both... checking that now | 09:40 |
| mneptok | d_: e.g. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833124092 | 09:40 |
| d_ | will openvpn eliminate the need for port forwarding in the router? | 09:40 |
| comicinker | SharpRain: go to system->settings->look | 09:40 |
| keakulani | any web designer here? | 09:40 |
| d_ | mneptok: checking it out right now | 09:40 |

| U8untu | hey..how do i forward my ip ports from my router to my irc server? ..i have an irc server..but it works only on LAN.. i want it to work to everyone | 09:41 |
| Gnea | d_: doubt it, vpn's usually don't do that | 09:41 |
| SharpRain | Preferences or administration? | 09:41 |
| d_ | my cicco router has ddns services built in. | 09:41 |
| comicinker | SharpRain: preferences | 09:41 |
| SharpRain | there's no "look" | 09:41 |
| SharpRain | compiz config setting's manager? | 09:41 |
| SharpRain | All my old stuff there is ticked for some reason.. | 09:42 |

| Techie | U8untu- http://portforward.com/ | 09:42 |
| Gnea | !openvpn | d_ | 09:42 |
| ubottu | d_: OpenVPN is a vpn technology in Ubuntu, sudo apt-get install openvpn and then see http://openvpn.net/ and see the documentation "HOWTO" noting you have already installed it. ;-) It rocks! | 09:42 |
| Ileden | Hi! I need to change my the device name (/dev/mmcblk0) of my SD card, as a workaround to a bug to get it recognized by LVM. I was instructed on a forum to use "udev" or "types = ["mmc",16]". I did some research on udev, and it seems I'm beyond my depth there. The second possibility I have no idea about, and "types" is quite hard to do a google search on. Could someone here give any pointers? | 09:42 |
| mneptok | d_: but such devices are much easier for new IPSec users to get up and running than are Linux boxen | 09:42 |
| comicinker | SharpRain: I don't know the english word. maybe you should ccsm, too. I meant the theme selector. | 09:42 |
| U8untu | Techie i was on that site..i dont understand nothin` :d | 09:42 |
| Techie | U8untu- do i have permission to PM you? | 09:43 |
| mneptok | d_: and Gnea does not recommend openvpn lightly. it is also a good solution. | 09:43 |
| Rajec | Guys I am looking for some files filter. I have several files with could belongs to two categories. What I want to do is be able to see only files from one category and then swith to view with files from second category. I could do it for example by put same files to two different folders(folder = category). It something like gmail and labels for mails | 09:43 |
| U8untu | yes Techie | 09:43 |
| comicinker | SharpRain: as soon as you tick enable or disable desktop effects your settings are lost | 09:43 |
| mneptok | d_: examine all your options, and really have an undersyanding of how VPNs work before you buy or build out anything. | 09:43 |
| Gnea | d_: I agree with mneptok, if you don't understand how VPNs work, then you should do some serious research beforehand. | 09:44 |
| d_ | mneptok: gnea, I am trying to do the research but I am only finding partial or incomplete articles... or out of date. | 09:45 |

| GrimmVarg | hey guys, anybody tried booting ubuntu from grub2 (EFI) on a macbook? | 10:00 |
| System-7 | Linux is not recommended on macbooks due to lack of heat control drivers | 10:00 |
| System-7 | i leave my ubuntu in a virtual machine on my macbook | 10:01 |
| zanticus | aww, here i was about to install it on mine | 10:01 |
| Myrtti | System-7: url? | 10:01 |
| GrimmVarg | System-7: well thats why I want to use grub to. Since this will allowe me to use the low-end graphics card which will keep my macbook nice and cool | 10:01 |
| brjagbr | anyone please? :'( | 10:01 |
| GrimmVarg | *grub2 | 10:01 |
| System-7 | I hang around the #mac and such channels and pick this stuff up lol :) | 10:02 |
| Myrtti | System-7: {{citation needed}} ;-) | 10:02 |
| GrimmVarg | Myrtti: i do agree ;) my macbook never tops 70 degrees as it is now, running #! | 10:03 |
| System-7 | a lot of people come in asking about ubuntu on macs, seems pretty popular these days i guess | 10:03 |
| GrimmVarg | yeah, the hardware is awesome on macs, I only which Apple didnt rape us som much all the time | 10:03 |
| Gnea | System-7: if you don't have the data to back your claim up, it would be wise not to make the claim in the first place. | 10:03 |
| GrimmVarg | *wish | 10:03 |
| strange | hardwrae great? | 10:04 |
| strange | its just intel cored2duo with nvidia no? | 10:04 |
| System-7 | well then i direct you to #mac, ask them and I'm sure someone their has some actual data on it | 10:04 |
| GrimmVarg | System-7: yupp | 10:04 |
| GrimmVarg | System-7: yeah, ty ill see if they can help :) | 10:04 |
| Gnea | System-7: negatory, a webpage is required, otherwise it is word-of-mouth, which is opinion, not fact. | 10:05 |
| tulsi1 | Can someone please help me get skype going? When I try and call anyone, I get the message "Problem with Audio Playback". I can play audio fine though and record audio using audacity. | 10:05 |

| GrimmVarg | Gnea: well, a webpage is pretty much just words as well, but i see your point ;) | 10:05 |
| System-7 | oh because the internet is always truthful | 10:05 |
| Gnea | System-7: if you don't have a real reference, just admit it and move on. | 10:06 |
| System-7 | lol :) at any rate, i've no personal experience with it, liek i said Grimm, the guys at #mac are sure to know | 10:07 |
| dwatkins | what are heat control drivers? | 10:07 |
| GrimmVarg | System-7: yeah, Im trying there right now, but seem to ble idling ;) | 10:07 |
| System-7 | i _think_ it was the fans... but not sure | 10:08 |
| GrimmVarg | yes | 10:08 |
| GrimmVarg | but it was fixed in 9.10 | 10:08 |
| GrimmVarg | System-7: nad you could just set the fan speed manually | 10:08 |

| unk2k | Hello Herubuntovci | 10:12 |
| mun | my firefox 64b is using the npviewer for playing flash, how do i uninstall it so that i can upgrade to v10? | 10:12 |
| indus | mun: sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-nonfree | 10:14 |
| mun | indus, i hvaen't got nonfree installed | 10:14 |
| comicinker | sphenxes: you don't have writing permissions on /home | 10:15 |
| indus | mun: then how are you viewing flash? | 10:15 |
| haroelcabo | GrimmVarg: will firefox recognize HeliPlayer once it's installed ? | 10:15 |
| mun | indus, i think i installed it separately, so maybe that's why synaptic can't detect it. | 10:15 |
| sphenxes | comicinker, thanks, i will check the permission | 10:15 |
| unk2k | indus /\OX | 10:15 |
| indus | mun: installed 32 bit flash? how? | 10:15 |
| Rajec | Guys I am looking for some files filter. I have several files with could belongs to two categories. What I want to do is be able to see only files from one category and then swith to view with files from second category. I could do it for example by put same files to two different folders(folder = category). It something like gmail and labels for mails | 10:15 |
| mun | indus, no, 64bit | 10:16 |
| D3vil_ | hi @ all | 10:16 |
| mun | indus, i installed a very early version of 10 separately | 10:16 |
| comicinker | sphenxes: change to ~/nytimes instead of /home/ | 10:16 |
| indus | mun: then search for npviewer in synaptic and remove it | 10:16 |
| unk2k | how can i install apache2 ? | 10:16 |
| mun | indus, i thought so, but there isn't such an entry | 10:16 |
| indus | mun: you move the 64 bit flash to .mozilla/plugins | 10:16 |
| unk2k | indus how can install apache 2 ???? | 10:17 |
| indus | mun: how exactly did u install previous flash | 10:17 |
| Epoxy | unk2k: sudo apt-get install apache2 | 10:17 |
| Pricey | !lamp | unk2k | 10:17 |
| ubottu | unk2k: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 10:17 |
| GrimmVarg | haroelcabo: no you need to restart firefox | 10:17 |
| mun | indus, i think i read the installer Adobe provided | 10:17 |
| indus | unk2k: sudo apt-get install apache2 | 10:17 |
| haroelcabo | how do I tell firefox that a .rmm extension must be read with HelixPlayer ? | 10:17 |
| mun | indus, *ran | 10:17 |
| indus | mun: so that has an uninstall script maybe, read it' | 10:18 |
| unk2k | bash: apt-get: command not found | 10:18 |
| indus | mun: please dont install anything from outside sources unless you really need to | 10:18 |
| mun | indus, i guess i'll need to find it somehow. | 10:18 |
| mun | indus, ok | 10:18 |
| haroelcabo | GrimmVarg: I did, but clicking on a .rmm link doesn't do anything special. Should it ? | 10:18 |
| comicinker | unk2k: please post echo $PATH | 10:18 |
| indus | mun: the adobe installer dir you need to locate | 10:18 |
| GrimmVarg | haroelcabo: i think this will help you out http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=25084 | 10:19 |

| d_ | anyone know how to set up a vpn? | 10:31 |
| Pinchiukas | indus: I think the problem is mounting. How do I disable it? | 10:31 |

| indus | Pinchiukas: then maybe stop autorun | 10:32 |
| Pinchiukas | indus: what tab? | 10:32 |

| indus | Pinchiukas: in edit>preferences>media | 10:33 |
| Pinchiukas | I think I unchecked the last checkbox and that worked. | 10:33 |
| indus | Pinchiukas: worked? | 10:33 |
| indus | Pinchiukas: hmm | 10:33 |
| indus | the software tab i believe | 10:34 |

| nikolaj | anyone got any experience with audacity on ubuntu? | 10:34 |
| Pinchiukas | indus: which tab is that? I have this stupid native language localization. | 10:34 |
| indus | Pinchiukas: in media ,u unchecked last option that one | 10:34 |
| indus | Pinchiukas: after cd,dvd etc | 10:35 |
| Pinchiukas | It's something like "open media after plugging it in". | 10:35 |
| indus | Pinchiukas: ok | 10:35 |
| ManateeLazyCat | eviljussi01: #ubuntu+1 no response, have you test 9.10 ? | 10:35 |

| indus | nikolaj: its the same soundcard only diff outputs or some strange way of sound channel identification by the system | 10:54 |
| indus | nikolaj: if u see the options, it lists playback and record both, use the ones which say mic | 10:55 |
| nikolaj | so if i found a sample on youtube of someone talking i could just open audacity in windows and setup it up to record what was playing at the time | 10:55 |
| indus | nikolaj: its clearly called capture | 10:55 |
| nikolaj | sorry ok one sec | 10:55 |
| indus | nikolaj: the last 2 devices | 10:55 |
| indus | nikolaj: try second last 1 then the last | 10:55 |
| nikolaj | right the last 2 devices of the last list i gave you are from the volume control menu in ubuntu | 10:56 |
| nikolaj | not in audacity | 10:56 |
| nikolaj | they don't show up as capture in audacity | 10:56 |
| nikolaj | although there is another menu once you select playback and input options which appears based on what you chose there, and "Capture:0" is an option | 10:57 |
| nikolaj | is it easier if i open a new window to chat in | 10:57 |
| nikolaj | ? | 10:57 |
| nikolaj | lol | 10:57 |
| nikolaj | this is a little hard to explain at points | 10:57 |
| mun | if i want to upgrade from hardy to 9.04, what is the best way to do it without reinstalling everything at the end? | 10:58 |
| erUSUL | mun: 8.04 --> 8.10 --> 9.04 | 10:59 |
| erUSUL | !upgrade | mun | 10:59 |
| ubottu | mun: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading | 10:59 |
| nikolaj | indus ? | 10:59 |
| mun | erUSUL, but is upgrading reliable? | 10:59 |
| indus | ya\ | 11:00 |
| indus | nikolaj: stay in here,its better | 11:00 |
| nikolaj | ok | 11:00 |
| erUSUL | mun: it should be never had mayor problems myself | 11:00 |
| indus | nikolaj: so what does audacity show you as devices? | 11:00 |
| mun | erUSUL, good to know. thanks | 11:00 |
| erUSUL | mun: i've only installed ubuntu twice in 5 years | 11:00 |
| nikolaj | well the recording devices were the very first list i gave you | 11:00 |
| indus | erUSUL: hmm interesting, i have never installed windows even once :) | 11:00 |
| indus | nikolaj: did you actually try recording with them? | 11:01 |
| erUSUL | indus: touchè :) | 11:01 |
| nikolaj | the second list where the soundcards i could choose from in the volume control menu which you can open from the volume icon in the system tray area | 11:01 |
| nikolaj | yes i have | 11:01 |
| indus | erUSUL: i am sure its more difficult than ubuntu | 11:01 |
| nikolaj | it just either is really crackly even after setting the levels; doesn't record at all as if something is preventing it, or doesn't even play back | 11:02 |
| nikolaj | but it has never been able to record for more than 1-6 seconds | 11:02 |
| indus | nikolaj:which vresion of ubuntu? | 11:02 |
| nikolaj | and usually when it does that it's nearly like white noise | 11:02 |
| nikolaj | 9.04 | 11:02 |
| nikolaj | jaunty | 11:02 |
| maxagaz | is there a command line to know the codec and the container of an audio file ? | 11:03 |
| indus | can u believe it, i recorded an entire song from online when it played , using sound recorder and it sounds super, like in stereo :) | 11:03 |
| erUSUL | maxagaz: use «file» the command | 11:03 |
| nikolaj | sound recorder? | 11:03 |
| nikolaj | is that already installed? | 11:03 |
| indus | for the first time ever, this was on karmic , till now it was nothing but crackling | 11:03 |
| indus | nikolaj: of course, its installed default and you can record sounds | 11:04 |
| nikolaj | are you using karmic? | 11:04 |
| indus | nikolaj: i just pointed the mic at the speakers and recorded a song | 11:04 |
| indus | nikolaj: yeah | 11:04 |
| nikolaj | or sorry i see where it is | 11:04 |
| indus | nikolaj: try that, audacity is more for editing sounds etc | 11:04 |
| nikolaj | yea i need to edit as well | 11:04 |
| nikolaj | eventually i will use these sounds in ableton | 11:05 |
| indus | nikolaj: ok check for device from sound recorder maybe, then use in audacity? | 11:05 |
| nikolaj | so if i can just do the loose editing at source before i export it as an mp3 that's soemtiems easier | 11:05 |
| TxHawks | Hi | 11:05 |
| nikolaj | i just tried to record with soun d recorder | 11:05 |
| nikolaj | crackly as hell | 11:05 |
| TxHawks | I was wondering if anyone could help me with an ssh problem | 11:05 |
| indus | nikolaj: i know, but with karmic iam getting crystal clear audio | 11:06 |
| indus | i have no idea why | 11:06 |
| TxHawks | I ssh to a debian server | 11:06 |
| indus | i thought sound recorder was useless until now | 11:06 |
| nikolaj | i can't use a mic because it picks up other sounds as well which is bad | 11:06 |
| nikolaj | hehe | 11:06 |
| TxHawks | and unicode char show up as gibberish | 11:06 |
| nikolaj | when i am using it in songs n stuff | 11:06 |
| indus | it didnt actually in my case | 11:06 |
| TxHawks | locale is set up correctly on both my machine and the server | 11:06 |
| indus | strange, i stay by the road side too | 11:06 |
| indus | nikolaj: just keep mic near speakers | 11:07 |
| nikolaj | lol i know what you mean, but when you come to edit it, and put it through a spectrum analyzer it picks up to many high end peaks | 11:07 |
| nikolaj | and there is sometimes an brush of white sound in the back ground | 11:07 |
| IpSe_DiXiT | stupid question, how do i change the background of the inside view of a folder? I explain myself: u no it comes with light blue and white stripes one for each file if u put the view on "list"? how do i make it all white instead? tried "edit > background and emblems" here it says "drag a pattern tile to an object to change it" but after doing it, even after pressing the "reload" button, nothing changes! where am I wrong? thanks | 11:08 |
| nikolaj | and i need to keep the frequency ranges balanced and when you record through mics you fill up frequency areas you usually wouldn't if you recorded directly from the source | 11:08 |
| nikolaj | when was karmic released then? | 11:08 |
| Myrtti | was? it isn't | 11:09 |
| Myrtti | !karmic | nikolaj | 11:09 |
| ubottu | nikolaj: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 29th, 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 | 11:09 |
| nikolaj | lol, what was that all about! | 11:09 |
| indus | nikolaj: ya its alpha | 11:09 |
| nikolaj | kk | 11:10 |
| indus | nikolaj: can u try to join #audacity | 11:10 |
| indus | maybe better help there | 11:10 |
| indus | pulseaudio has come a long way really | 11:11 |
| nikolaj | hehe | 11:11 |
| nikolaj | you know what's funny | 11:11 |
| nikolaj | now i tried recording with sound recorder | 11:12 |
| indus | nikolaj: move to karmic october 24 when its out, sound output has got really great | 11:12 |
| nikolaj | and it's working | 11:12 |
| indus | nikolaj: hmm good then | 11:12 |
| nikolaj | much change in karmic? | 11:12 |
| indus | nikolaj:yes | 11:12 |
| nikolaj | right will do | 11:12 |
| nikolaj | this is another problem i have though | 11:12 |
| indus | nikolaj: so try with audacity and see if you can record | 11:12 |
| nikolaj | i only moved to ubuntu about a month and a bit a go | 11:13 |
| nikolaj | maybe 2 | 11:13 |
| IpSe_DiXiT | stupid question, how do i change the background of the inside view of a folder? I explain myself: u no it comes with light blue and white stripes one for each file if u put the view on "list"? how do i make it all white instead? tried "edit > background and emblems" here it says "drag a pattern tile to an object to change it" but after doing it, even after pressing the "reload" button, nothing changes! where am I wrong? thanks | 11:13 |
| nikolaj | and so i did a bad install | 11:13 |
| indus | nikolaj: bad install? | 11:13 |
| nikolaj | i have a 90gb hdd | 11:13 |
| nikolaj | i used 80 for the install | 11:13 |
| nikolaj | so wasted 10gb | 11:13 |
| nikolaj | well 7 actually becase 3gb was a partition of something from dell i wanted to keep | 11:13 |
| indus | nikolaj: hmm you could resize the partitions | 11:14 |
| nikolaj | and also i didn't partition properly for the install | 11:14 |
| nikolaj | so there is only one partition i think | 11:14 |
| nikolaj | and a "swap area" | 11:14 |
| nikolaj | no idea | 11:14 |
| nikolaj | i am on a steep learning curve | 11:14 |
| nikolaj | what a good partition prog in linux? | 11:14 |
| indus | nikolaj: its inbuilt called gparted | 11:14 |
| indus | nikolaj: when you install from live cd its there | 11:15 |
| nikolaj | hmm how do i find/ start that | 11:15 |
| nikolaj | ? | 11:15 |
| nikolaj | yea i know that one | 11:15 |
| nikolaj | that's what iw as about to ask for | 11:15 |
| nikolaj | gparted then | 11:15 |
| indus | nikolaj: ya so boot from live cd and under system>admin>partition editor | 11:15 |
| nikolaj | do i just type that in terminal and it starts? | 11:15 |
| * indus wonders what a terminal is :) | 11:16 | |
| nikolaj | shell? | 11:16 |
| nikolaj | hehe | 11:16 |
| indus | nikolaj: ya can be run from terminal too sure | 11:16 |
| indus | nikolaj: make sure you have backups before you resize, its scary if gone wrong | 11:16 |
| indus | brb i go for some tea | 11:17 |
| nikolaj | had to apt-get gparted | 11:17 |
| nikolaj | ooh good idea | 11:17 |
| nikolaj | me too | 11:17 |
| nikolaj | day light with you? | 11:17 |
| indus | ya | 11:17 |

| ActionParsnip | !sound | hiend | 11:26 |
| ubottu | hiend: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

The two slots that are filled are black and there is a blue one thats empty beside both of the black ones as if the black and blue were a "pair"... Im looking to buy possibly two new DDR2s to fill those open slots but does it matter which two go together? | 11:46 |

| o2o | hey, which linux the fastest linux nowadays? | 11:47 |
| ActionParsnip | o2o: xpud is damn fast, as is damnsmall linux | 11:47 |
| solarisBoy | depending on the mobo | 11:47 |
| ActionParsnip | o2o: depends entirely on config | 11:47 |
| ActionParsnip | o2o: xpud boots in 3 seconds on my AM2 3000 semp + 2Gb DDR2 | 11:48 |
| o2o | ActionParsnip: really? | 11:48 |
| ActionParsnip | o2o: but you have to do a LOT of work yourself to get anything at all | 11:48 |
| kid_ | hi | 11:48 |
| ActionParsnip | o2o: really | 11:48 |
| ActionParsnip | o2o: its has a torrent client, a web browser, a media player and a terminal | 11:49 |
| o2o | ActionParsnip: I mean run the same soft environment, which is the fastest | 11:49 |
| ActionParsnip | o2o: it uses X server and plate to run. Its very minimal and doesnt come with many hardware drivers as default, hence the speed | 11:49 |
| ActionParsnip | o2o: there is no fastest, I can configure any distro to be fast or slow, so its entirely down to config | 11:50 |
| ActionParsnip | o2o: ubuntu + flwm will be tonnes faster than say fedora + kde + compiz | 11:50 |
| o2o | so , every linux are the same fast, right> | 11:50 |
| o2o | so , every linux are the same fast, right? | 11:50 |
| pepso | ubuntu=simple0fast | 11:51 |

| ActionParsnip | o2o: that uses Xfce wich is a light DE, they are all ubuntu and you can install XFCE on Ubuntu to effectively achieve xubuntu | 11:52 |
| ActionParsnip | o2o: de = desktop environment | 11:52 |
| ActionParsnip | o2o: lxde and flwm are also light DEs | 11:52 |

| ToreadorVampire | Hey all - how do I prevent ubuntu from a forced fsck when it boots? | 12:17 |
| RalphSpencer | What is secure shell daemon. How is it different from ssh | 12:18 |
| smt | just a question: wich package (not meta-package gnome-panel) provides "alt+f2" function? | 12:18 |
| pepso | !destroy | 12:18 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about destroy | 12:18 |
| SilAmeth | is gparted gui or console | 12:18 |
| ToreadorVampire | RalphSpencer: The daemon is the "server component" that allows ssh connections to be received | 12:18 |
| pepso | !reset | 12:18 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about reset | 12:18 |
| ActionParsnip | SilAmeth: gparted is a gui to parted | 12:19 |
| RalphSpencer | So I need to install it in order to receive connections from remote computers? | 12:19 |
| smt | !alt+f2 | 12:19 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about alt+f2 | 12:19 |
| ActionParsnip | SilAmeth: most apps that start with g are gui based | 12:19 |
| alokito | SilAmeth: after it's installed press Alt+F2, type gksudo gparted and hit enter to run it, then from the hard disk list at the top right corner select ur harddisk(if u already have a harddisk connected then it will be /dev/sdb), then format the partitions of the harddisk as u like :) | 12:19 |
| ToreadorVampire | RalphSpencer: ssh could sometimes refer to the daemon component, but often it means the client application that connects to ssh daemons | 12:19 |
| ToreadorVampire | RalphSpencer: Yes, if you want to receive connections then you need the daemon installed and running, if you just want to connect to a remote computer then you just need the ssh client (often just called ssh) | 12:20 |
| RalphSpencer | is openssh-server an sshd? | 12:20 |
| alokito | SilAmeth: simple GUI :D | 12:20 |
| ToreadorVampire | RalphSpencer: Yes - it is | 12:20 |
| ToreadorVampire | RalphSpencer: I think that's the sshd that most people use | 12:20 |
| RalphSpencer | I've installed it, but it accepts connections only on local network. | 12:20 |
| RalphSpencer | I need it to accept connections from internet. | 12:21 |
| alokito | pepso, smt, /msg ubottu | 12:21 |
| SilAmeth | oh you guys rock....learned something new and only been awake for an hour.....sweet | 12:21 |
| pepso | i know | 12:21 |
| ToreadorVampire | RalphSpencer: Right, in that case you probably have a firewall/port forwarding issue | 12:21 |
| RalphSpencer | Care to guide me with this issue | 12:21 |
| RalphSpencer | ? | 12:21 |
| void_pointer | RalphSpencer do you have a router? | 12:21 |
| ToreadorVampire | RalphSpencer: Your external firewall/router/whatever-you-call-it-on-your-network needs to know to forward TCP connections on port 22 to the box with the sshd on it | 12:22 |
| DJones | RalphSpencer: If you're connecting through a router, you will most likely need to open a port on your router to accept the incoming web connection to forward it to the specific machine you're ssh'ing to | 12:22 |
| ToreadorVampire | RalphSpencer: How to set up port forwarding exactly will differ depending on the brand of router - but you can probably find some instructions specific to your brand if you google around a little ... | 12:23 |
| the_madman | Hello everyone. | 12:23 |
| the_madman | Any idea what avahi-daemon does? | 12:23 |
| DJones | RalphSpencer: You can get guidance on port forwarding for specific routers at http://portforward.com/ check the list there and find your router, you should find the instructions in its links | 12:23 |
| RalphSpencer | nope dsl | 12:23 |
| RalphSpencer | actually the local network i talked about does not exist | 12:23 |
| RalphSpencer | it just takes 127.0.0.1 | 12:23 |

| ToreadorVampire | Hehe void_pointer | 12:24 |

| chombee | indus: Interesintg, What is it? :) | 12:25 |

| indus | chombee: use the medibuntu repos to install it | 12:25 |
| alokito | go there and you'll find it easily :) | 12:25 |
| indus | chombee: its not the best way ,but its easier | 12:25 |

| alokito | ActionParsnip: is envyng supported by jaunty | 12:29 |
| ActionParsnip | OriWB: dont use envy, its garage and not supported | 12:29 |
| sllide | but it doesnt show up in c++ | 12:29 |
| alokito | I haven't seen a jaunty package yet | 12:29 |
| ActionParsnip | alokito: no its not supported in any release | 12:29 |
| indus | OriWB: you need to install it dear, sudo apt-get install envy-ng | 12:29 |
| coz_ | sllide, mmm then i am not sure sorry | 12:30 |
| sllide | :( | 12:30 |
| ActionParsnip | OriWB: what is the output of: lspci |grep -i vga | 12:30 |
| indus | ActionParsnip: garage? its in universe | 12:30 |
| ToreadorVampire | To refine my earlier question: How can I completely disable the automated fsck functionality of usplash? I realise I can press escape to cancel, but the machine in question does not have a keyboard | 12:30 |
| OriWB | actionparsnip: product: Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller | 12:30 |
| ToreadorVampire | !usplash | 12:30 |
| ubottu | To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork | 12:30 |
| ActionParsnip | indus: its not supported by the community, like ubottu says | 12:30 |
| coz_ | sllide, did you install all of the sdl .dev pacakges | 12:30 |
| sllide | not sure | 12:30 |
| alokito | and you can install nvidia drivers directly from repo, no need for envyng... and if u want the latest one then u can download from nvidia site and install it easily | 12:30 |
| indus | ActionParsnip: well, vlc is in universe too , how come that is supported? | 12:30 |
| O__o | how do you put comment in script file? | 12:30 |
| alokito | ActionParsnip: I don't mean community support I mean there isn't a jaunty version | 12:30 |
| O__o | is it # ? | 12:31 |
| * ToreadorVampire can vouch for what alokito is saying - installing nvidia drivers from their website is a piece of piss | 12:31 | |
| OriWB | indus: i installed it, the command is still not found | 12:31 |
| ActionParsnip | !info envyng-qt jaunty | 12:31 |
| ubottu | envyng-qt (source: envyng-qt): install the ATI or the NVIDIA driver. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.0.1ubuntu1 (jaunty), package size 96 kB, installed size 472 kB | 12:31 |
| coz_ | sllide, well any of the packages in synapitc ending in .dev would be the development pacakages but let me see if there is an anjuta channel | 12:31 |
| sllide | k | 12:31 |
| indus | OriWB: i suggest you stick to official drivers or upgrade to a newer version of ubuntu | 12:31 |
| ActionParsnip | indus: Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller is an intel chip | 12:31 |
| indus | OriWB: maybe you are typing the command wrong | 12:31 |
| alokito | ToreadorVampire: that's why I suggested repo 1st :P | 12:32 |
| ToreadorVampire | ... except that the nVidia drivers in Jaunty's repos are awful and full of bugs :( | 12:32 |
| OriWB | indus: envy-ng...? | 12:32 |
| ActionParsnip | ToreadorVampire: i use the 190 from the alpha repo.works great | 12:32 |
| coz_ | sllide, there isnt a channel for that but you could go to ##linux channe perhaps someone there would have mor information on this or the #programing channel | 12:32 |
| OriWB | actionparsnip: ok. what does that mean? | 12:32 |
| alokito | ToreadorVampire: they aren't buggy at all for me | 12:32 |
| indus | OriWB: just envy i belive, press tab | 12:32 |
| ActionParsnip | OriWB: you have an intel video card | 12:32 |
| sllide | i can goto c++ itslef | 12:32 |
| indus | ActionParsnip: oh, thanks for that | 12:32 |
| OriWB | indus: command not found | 12:32 |
| OriWB | actionparsnip: so? | 12:32 |
| indus | OriWB: envy is for nvidia cards only i believe | 12:33 |

| harisund | rski and ActionParsnip all right thanks, will check that out. I was hoping for a command line thing .. also this alsamixer will work with pulse audio too right? | 12:39 |
| Amaranth | ActionParsnip: It just means they shouldn't use it unless regular methods have failed | 12:39 |
| iwobbles | hi willl USB monitor devices work ok in 9.04? I really need to run a second screen, for acounting and auditing stuff, do I have to get an Nvidia card ? | 12:39 |
| indus | !envy | 12:39 |
| ubottu | EnvyNG is a program to install newer version of nVidia or ATi drivers, it can be found in !Universe as "envyng-gtk" (for Gtk/Gnome) or "envyng-qt" (for Qt/KDE). It is NOT a supported method to install video drivers; please only use it if standard methods fail and at your own risk - See also !BinaryDriver | 12:39 |
| Amaranth | ActionParsnip: It is, however, the safest way to do what it does | 12:39 |
| indus | yeah | 12:39 |
| OriWB | indus: how do i uninstall sudo apt-get install envyng-gtk? | 12:39 |
| geekbuntu | when i try to execute something in ubuntu i get a deprecated warning - says to use hashlib instead - have been searching synaptic - anyone know how i can get/install this? | 12:39 |
| indus | OriWB: sudo apt-get remove | 12:39 |
| ActionParsnip | Amaranth: im keeping to the factoids and what is supported though right | 12:39 |
| nemesis1911 | cgroza: but again I have a nexxtech with a snix chip inside.. .. | 12:39 |
| Amaranth | ActionParsnip: Right, you can help them install envyng but beyond that they are on their own | 12:39 |
| ActionParsnip | Amaranth: id rather not advise envy in the first place | 12:40 |
| Amaranth | ActionParsnip: But try to make sure they don't install it unless the current drivers are not working for them | 12:40 |
| Amaranth | ActionParsnip: It shouldn't be used on a whim | 12:40 |
| ActionParsnip | Amaranth: indeed | 12:40 |
| OriWB | indus: thanx. can u give me the full command for installing envyng-gtk? | 12:40 |
| indus | Amaranth: thank you | 12:40 |
| indus | OriWB: i did | 12:40 |

| indus | OriWB: on kde, its envyng-qt | 12:41 |
| Amaranth | ActionParsnip: The envyng developer is actually handling Xorg maintenance in Ubuntu this month while the regular maintainer is away, he knows what he is doing :) | 12:41 |
| indus | OriWB: first of all, please state what exactly is the problem you have | 12:41 |
| indus | Amaranth: tseliot ? | 12:41 |

| nemesis1911 | good. good | 12:42 |
| OriWB | indus: i wanted to play Regnum, and was told that a reason why I can't might be because my video card doesn't have the latest drivers | 12:42 |
| indus | cgroza: hi please install the program xawtv then adjust | 12:42 |
| nemesis1911 | if you wanna make it lighter then.. ummmmm hold on | 12:42 |
| Amaranth | OriWB: Told by who? | 12:42 |
| indus | OriWB: ok thats random advice, please dont try new stuff without good reason or info | 12:42 |
| OriWB | Amaranth: the popup window when i logged in | 12:42 |
| nemesis1911 | cgroza: check PM window | 12:43 |
| OriWB | Indus: I got this: Unsupported video card! | 12:43 |
| Amaranth | OriWB: If a game developer or nvidia developer says the new driver is known to fix problems that you are seeing that would be a reason to get the latest driver | 12:43 |
| OriWB | There are three possible causes for this error: | 12:43 |
| OriWB | 1. Your video card is too old | 12:43 |
| OriWB | 2. You haven't installed the latest available drivers | 12:43 |
| OriWB | 3. You haven't installed the latest DirectX version | 12:43 |

| Amaranth | OriWB: Does the same fail to work then? | 12:43 |

| OriWB | Amaranth: Didn't try Wine, I dont; know | 12:44 |
| Amaranth | OriWB: Oh, this is through WINE? If so completely ignore that message | 12:44 |

| indus | windows needs it? | 12:55 |
| OriWB | Amaranth: now it is | 12:55 |
| Amaranth | indus: Everything that isn't DOS needs it | 12:55 |
| ActionParsnip | indus: it helps | 12:55 |
| Amaranth | OriWB: ok, run `cd ragnum` | 12:55 |
| eto | indus : well if it is not enabled it doesn't boot in apic mode, windows xp that is | 12:56 |
| OriWB | Amaranth: cd ragnum | 12:56 |
| indus | hmm so why would that option be set to off by anyone? also, i think its off in mine omg | 12:56 |
| OriWB | Amaranth:bash: cd: ragnum: No such file or directory | 12:56 |
| indus | its *regnum* please | 12:56 |
| OriWB | lol | 12:56 |
| Amaranth | eh, it's just some game :P | 12:56 |
| OriWB | Amaranth:lol its regnum! jusr a sec! | 12:56 |
| Amaranth | OriWB: oh, cd regnum | 12:56 |
| OriWB | Amaranth:lol ok, did it | 12:57 |
| Amaranth | OriWB: ok now ./rolauncher | 12:57 |
| indus | ActionParsnip: so i should keep that bios option on? or it wont detect devices? | 12:57 |
| OriWB | Amaranth: ok, this runs the login menu | 12:57 |
| ActionParsnip | indus: doesnt hurt to have it on, makes sense too | 12:57 |
| Amaranth | indus: linux most likely works either way since it pretty much ignores the BIOS once it is running (except for ACPI stuff) | 12:57 |
| eto | well so nobody has to tell me something about that apic error ? | 12:57 |
| Amaranth | OriWB: So the game is working now? | 12:57 |
| indus | OriWB: hooray | 12:57 |
| tavi | a gsopcast liike program? | 12:58 |

| OriWB | Amaranth: no, same error | 13:02 |
| Amaranth | OriWB: I think you're out of luck then :/ | 13:02 |
| Amaranth | OriWB: You could try via WINE but WINE really only works well with nvidia | 13:03 |
| indus | hmm | 13:03 |
| OriWB | Amaranth: so that means that untill the game supports my video card, theres nothing i can do? | 13:03 |
| jamiewan_ | HI is anyone running Americas Army in Jaunty successfully | 13:03 |
| Amaranth | OriWB: Or until the video driver supports your game :) | 13:03 |
| Amaranth | OriWB: btw, envy wouldn't help you since you are using intel | 13:03 |
| OriWB | Amaranth: right... what if i upraded to the newest version of ubuntu? | 13:04 |
| indus | Amaranth: i thought intel drivers are open source | 13:04 |
| tavi | or in vlc someone help me to se some channels? | 13:04 |

| doubleuerner | hello, does anyone of you know about FTPes openssh, and why is gives a routing problem | 13:05 |
| Amaranth | OriWB: No, it may still work there | 13:06 |
| OriWB | Amaranth: gotcha.. do u know of any mmorpg's that i could play that don't crash, or freeze? I've tried Eternal Lands, Planehshift, and regnum | 13:06 |

| doubleuerner | nice | 13:08 |
| doubleuerner | hello, does anyone of you know about FTPes openssh, and why it gives a routing problem | 13:09 |
| ActionParsnip | doubleuerner: loud and clear | 13:09 |
| Paddy_NI | !repeat | doubleuerner | 13:09 |
| ubottu | doubleuerner: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. | 13:09 |
| ActionParsnip | doubleuerner: both use TCP | 13:09 |
| ActionParsnip | doubleuerner: can you ping / traceroute to the server? | 13:09 |
| doubleuerner | yes | 13:09 |
| doubleuerner | i can connect correct if i use non-ecrypted (FTP) | 13:10 |
| Amaranth | OriWB: You may have better luck with the next ubuntu release | 13:10 |
| Amaranth | OriWB: intel drivers have been shaky since 8.04 but finally in 9.10 they are getting good again | 13:10 |
| doubleuerner | if i use TLS in the proftpd.conf (FTPes become) is has a fafailure in routing | 13:10 |
| Amaranth | OriWB: It'll be released in about a month | 13:10 |
| indus | Amaranth: isnt intel drivers open source? | 13:11 |
| OriWB | Amaranth: why? so keep hold of regnum? | 13:11 |
| alokito | Amaranth, I thought ubuntu detects intel cards automatically and applies the driver | 13:12 |
| doubleuerner | if i use TLS in the proftpd.conf (FTPes become) it has a failure in routing | 13:12 |
| Amaranth | alokito: It does but not the newest one | 13:13 |
| alokito | hmm ok | 13:13 |
| Paddy_NI | !intel | indus alokito | 13:13 |
| ubottu | indus alokito: 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. | 13:13 |
| Amaranth | alokito: Updating to the newest intel driver properly involves updating the xorg driver, the mesa driver, libdrm, and the kernel | 13:13 |
| OriWB | Amaranth: and u said that trying to play anything on wine was pretty pointless? | 13:13 |
| doubleuerner | so, when i turn on encryption (FTPes) connencting to my ftp-server fails. It says that the returns a unlogical address | 13:13 |
| pincio | helo | 13:13 |
| indus | Paddy_NI: thanks | 13:13 |
| Amaranth | alokito: Miss any one of those and you've either got a system that doesn't work or doesn't fix the bug you have problems with | 13:13 |
| alokito | well system update might install latest ones | 13:13 |

| alokito | okay, I have internal intel but I use an external nvidia | 13:14 |
| Amaranth | OriWB: yeah, hold onto regnum and update to 9.10 when it comes out next month | 13:14 |
| OriWB | Amaranth: how much older? whats an older game? | 13:14 |

| indus | OriWB: you can directly upgrade to it from 9.04 when its released | 13:15 |
| indus | bazhang: sorry | 13:15 |
| OriWB | indus: that means i need to upgrade to 9.04 firt? | 13:16 |

| alokito | OriWB, no u can directly upgrade to 9.10 from any release | 13:16 |
| Amaranth | alokito: No | 13:16 |
| OriWB | Amaranth: no, someone told me to waittil 9.10 | 13:16 |

| dwatkins | alokito: I agree in some ways, but installing and configuring all my applications takes a day or so | 13:21 |
| aussie_nutt | day or so dam | 13:21 |
| alokito | dwatkins, u can backup ur configurations and apps, so I don't think its a problem | 13:21 |
| dwatkins | That depends whether you've installed that OS beforehand, alokito. | 13:22 |
| dwatkins | !u | 13:22 |
| ubottu | U is the 21st letter of the modern latin alphabet. Neither 'U' or 'Ur' are words in the English language. Nor are 'R', 'Y', 'l8', 'Ne1' or 'Bcuz'. Mangled English is hard for non-native English speakers. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/abbreviations/ for more information. | 13:22 |
| dwatkins | Sorry, I was curious about whether there was a "u" factoid. | 13:22 |
| alokito | dwatkins, if I haven't installed the os b4 then how can u upgrade it!? | 13:22 |
| GreyBeard | no !u | 13:23 |
| dwatkins | I was referring to fresh installations, alokito. | 13:23 |
| alokito | dwatkins, can't u use backup from a previous version in a new one? | 13:23 |
| Paddy_NI | dwatkins, He meant fresh install as opposed to an upgrade | 13:24 |
| dwatkins | alokito: not when you're moving from an entirely different OS | 13:24 |
| Paddy_NI | dwatkins, then simply copy your configs.. that should definitely not take a day or so :P | 13:24 |
| OriWB | Does anybody know when the fingerprint scanner for system 76 will be out? | 13:24 |
| dwatkins | I was talking about fresh installs too, Paddy_NI :) | 13:24 |
| dwatkins | Also, I imagine upgrading from an old Ubuntu release might mean it's not possible to port the config files across, nor the list of installed packages. | 13:25 |
| aussie_nutt | to install n setup take only 30mins or so depending on hardware n crap lol | 13:25 |
| alokito | dwatkins, I'm completely lost!... how can u upgrade if you are using a different os? :-S | 13:25 |
| dwatkins | I mean upgrading in the "installing a new version on a new hard disk" sense | 13:25 |
| dwatkins | Going from say Ubuntu 5 to Ubuntu 9 by wiping the disk and installing Ubuntu 9.04 | 13:25 |
| alokito | and why shouldn't you do a fresh install if u can use the backups from your previous version of the same os? | 13:26 |
| dwatkins | But I've "upgraded" from IRIX to Linux in the past, that was fun, but I digress and I'm going offtopic. | 13:26 |
| alokito | okay <end of topic> :| | 13:27 |

| firestorm | alokito: yes but didn't find something that I thought fitted the issue | 13:28 |

| grawity | nmvictor: Maybe the ps aux | grep one is just reporting the pid of your just-created grep process? | 13:29 |

| alokito | firestorm, can u view it with a different browser? | 13:33 |
| nmvictor | grawity: and you might be right, the output of ps aux | grep tasksel has both tasksel and grep in the same line against the PID 3336 | 13:33 |

| Baba_B00ie | ActionParsnip, one thinjg though, if i boot from battery i have to hit keys, if i boot up with ac power it boots fine. | 13:38 |

| asdfffasd | How can I run a command which opens a new terminal and immediatly run a command in that terminal | 13:42 |
| asdfffasd | Something like gnome-terminal sudo sh /...... | 13:42 |
| nmvictor | Maybe its because this is ubuntu and that was debian, developers had a different view of everything | 13:42 |
| Myrtti | asdfffasd: gnome-terminal -x or -r (man gnome-terminal has the correct syntax) | 13:42 |
| nmvictor | Neosano: Maybe its because this is ubuntu and that was debian, developers had a different view of everything | 13:42 |
| Myrtti | Neosano: Ubuntu isn't a rolling release distro | 13:43 |
| asdfffasd | Myrtti -x or -r which one ? | 13:43 |
| Neosano | nmvictor but er, ubuntu is made of debian.. | 13:43 |
| Myrtti | Neosano: but isn't debian | 13:43 |
| Neosano | Myrtti okay :] | 13:43 |
| Neosano | ShiZniT, just install debian and have fun :P | 13:44 |
| Dr_Willis | asdfffasd: xterm -e whatevercommand (i recall) gnome-terminal may have similer options | 13:44 |

| nmvictor | Neosano: we are made in the image of God, How come we are not as powerfull? | 13:44 |
| Dr_Willis | asdfffasd: check 'gnome-terminal --help' and see if it mentiones it. | 13:44 |
| o2o | hello | 13:45 |
| Pici | nmvictor: err.. Lets keep the religious metaphors out of the channel please :) | 13:45 |

| tapas | how to get a list of installed packages? | 13:46 |
| aussie_nutt | lmao | 13:46 |
| asdfffasd | gnome-terminal -x "sudo sh /home/username/script.sh" doesn't work | 13:46 |
| ActionParsnip | o2o: nice, wtg :) | 13:46 |
| nmvictor | i want to install jdk6u16 but my ubuntu system already has jdk5, am i about to do the worst? | 13:47 |
| pronoy | nmvictor install it from the repos | 13:47 |
| mrfelton | I'm getting some really bad ping - I guess I have a networking issue issue of some kind. Trying to use traceroute results in about 30 lines of entries like '* * *' Why do I get no info from traceroute? | 13:47 |
| pronoy | nmvictor that will automatically set the path and stuff | 13:48 |
| asdfffasd | Dr_willis ideas? | 13:48 |

| Guest68459 | hi everybody! | 13:49 |
| Wolke | Hi I have an scanner over usb at my pc but xsane said invalid argument (and i know that it does work together it has already worked a week ago) | 13:49 |
| aussie_nutt | wtg = way to go | 13:49 |
| Dr_Willis | asdfffasd: you are making too complex of a command.. you dont want to do 'sudo sh' i imagine. make the script executable. | 13:49 |
| nmvictor | pronoy: jdk5 is installed from the repos and that works fine, my worry is will installing jdk6 over jdk5 mix up the system? | 13:49 |
| o2o | The electricity is cut off just now, and my ubuntu could not boot! but I have rescue it, xixi | 13:49 |
| pronoy | nmvictor as far as i know..it'll upgrade | 13:49 |
| Guest68459 | hi | 13:50 |
| pronoy | nmvictor it'll overwrite jdk5 so you have nothing to worry | 13:50 |
| Guest68459 | hi | 13:50 |
| Guest68459 | hi | 13:51 |
| Guest68459 | quit | 13:51 |
| Neosano | hmm | 13:51 |
| aussie_nutt | jdk5 still be on there it wont override it | 13:51 |
| o2o | hey, friends, how to remove an icon from the ubuntu system menu? | 13:51 |
| comicinker | when trying to install quake3, I receive: Verifying archive integrity...tail: „+6“ cannot be opened for reading: no such file or directory. any ideas? | 13:51 |
| bigjocker | nmvictor, you can install JDK 5 and 6 alongside. The system will install them in different locations, so you can use update-alternatives to select the default one | 13:52 |
| o2o | applications->internet->xchat-gnome icon couldn't be removed, but I have apt-get remove it. | 13:52 |
| nmvictor | pronoy: bear in mind that i will do a manuall install of jdk6u16 which i have downloaded from suns website,jdk5 was installed with sun-java5-bin, will java5's bin work with jdk6? | 13:52 |
| nmvictor | bigjocker: haa, think that sounds reliefing | 13:52 |
| pronoy | nmvictor why not directly from the repos ? | 13:52 |
| o2o | ActionParsnip, how could i remove an icon in the Applications menu? | 13:53 |
| aussie_nutt | pretty well wat i said ^^^ lmao | 13:53 |
| aussie_nutt | just not geeky way hehe | 13:53 |
| bigjocker | nmvictor, they will be installed separately ... JDKs are independent: they do not install anything outside the JDK folder ... so you can have as many as you want installed at the same time | 13:53 |
| ActionParsnip | o2o: alacarte will help | 13:53 |
| Pici | o2o: Right click on the top of the menu, go to 'edit menus' and find and remove the app you don't want. | 13:53 |
| o2o | thanks pici | 13:53 |
| nmvictor | pronoy: simple, i did a sudo apt-get update of jaunty and the only jdks, jres and binaries of java available on synaptic were of 5, i need the latest | 13:54 |
| o2o | could I play Need For Speed in ubuntu? | 13:54 |
| bigjocker | nmvictor, but you should install JDK 6 from the repositories to be able to use update-alternatives ... unless you need something specific | 13:54 |
| bigjocker | nmvictor, JDK 6 is in the repositories | 13:55 |
| nanotube | nmvictor: look for package "sun-java6-jre" (and -jdk) | 13:55 |

| davo | But it's ipv6 with an ipv4 address.. | 13:56 |
| GobiTheGoblin | davo: I think those 10.0.etc are virtual networks.. or local, as in 192.168. etc | 13:56 |
| nmvictor | pronoy: ahh!!!, so what was my synaptic claiming to have found?or did i overlook it? | 13:56 |
| davo | Nope. Netstat only shows port 8337 listening on ipv6 | 13:57 |
| pronoy | nmvictor do sudo apt-cache search jdk ..it'll be listed there | 13:57 |

| aussie_nutt | just read though all that spree hope that might help | 14:08 |
| erUSUL | shredder12: the other computer does not have any internet connection ? | 14:09 |
| shredder12 | erUSUL: I mean some apt-get update sort of thng | 14:09 |
| B|ackPanther | pronoy: but i guess they are some event that is triggered when someone does a drag or a copy. I want to trap that event somehow. | 14:09 |
| shredder12 | erUSUL: they have but its pretty slow | 14:09 |
| erUSUL | shredder12: just use the update-manager. packages already in cache would be not dled | 14:09 |

| ActionParsnip | DreamsofanEagle: you need the medibuntu codec adding, then run: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-gte install libdvdcss2 | 14:48 |

| Napst3r | hey people ! | 14:52 |
| crackheadjunky | eraggo: i would prefer not to install server, its a netbook, and i am trying to keep it light and nimble | 14:52 |
| ActionParsnip | crackheadjunky: there u-lite | 14:52 |
| ActionParsnip | crackheadjunky: installs a very base ubuntu linux, then you can use their script to install lxde | 14:53 |
| Napst3r | the ubuntu's bootstart is tooooooo sloooooooooooow !!!!!!! | 14:53 |
| erUSUL | roger_padactor: is called "menu bar" (barra de menu in spanish) | 14:53 |

| scrub | i got a question on installing an app. flash player actually. i download the .deb file and when i try to install it comes back with errors. i used dkpg --install flash* am i doing something wrong? | 14:53 |
| crackheadjunky | ActionParsnip: i would prefer the way i am doing it, installing ubuntu the way its meant to be, i dont want a ton of configuration changes once installed, just a few for characterization reasons | 14:53 |
| Napst3r | how can i prevent the disk check every startup actionparsnip ? | 14:53 |
| grawity | scrub: Well, reading the error messages often helps. | 14:54 |
| erUSUL | scrub: sudo aptitude install flashplugin-nonfree | 14:54 |
| aussie_nutt | action is that lxde any good havent had time try it | 14:54 |
| ActionParsnip | scrub: ignore the deb. use: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree | 14:54 |
| ActionParsnip | aussie_nutt: hell yeah | 14:54 |
| erUSUL | Napst3r: it shoudn't check the disk every startup | 14:54 |
| scrub | k ill try that | 14:54 |
| scrub | thx | 14:54 |
| Napst3r | it does | 14:54 |
| erUSUL | Napst3r: something is wrong with your setup | 14:54 |
| aussie_nutt | it just bare bone action | 14:54 |
| grawity | Napst3r: The disk check is only done every 30 boots or so. | 14:54 |
| ActionParsnip | scrub: if you use 64bit you can get the beta 64bit plugin and put it in ~/.mozilla/plugins | 14:54 |
| erUSUL | Napst3r: check the disk yourself froma livecd | 14:54 |
| scrub | not using 64 | 14:54 |
| JohannesSM64 | why does 9.10 have both a "software store" and the old add/remove apps? what's the difference? | 14:55 |
| scrub | im going to try and install again. | 14:55 |
| ActionParsnip | aussie_nutt: no theres a decent run of apps, you can also use your currently installed fluff too, its light and snappy | 14:55 |
| Pici | JohannesSM64 : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Karmic/9.10 support/discussion. | 14:55 |
| scrub | ill let you know the error mssg if it throws me one | 14:55 |
| ActionParsnip | scrub: then the apt-get command will do you | 14:55 |
| aussie_nutt | sweet might have try it when get time too | 14:55 |
| Napst3r | the startup comes to be slow when i installed virtualbox .. | 14:55 |
| ActionParsnip | aussie_nutt: watch some vids online, see hat you reckn | 14:55 |
| h4r1 | What is the package name for X11 development libraries? | 14:56 |
| aussie_nutt | yeah might have looksie now but for some reason always go bak to flux lol | 14:56 |
| crackheadjunky | what about a 9.10 img file? | 14:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Napst3r: if its scanning every boot then your drive will need checking in live cd to see whats making it panick | 14:56 |
| eraggo | crackheadjunky: that would be testable too :) | 14:56 |
| scrub | well its now installing so i think it worked | 14:56 |
| scrub | thanks everyone! | 14:56 |
| Pici | h4r1: xorg-dev | 14:56 |
| Napst3r | why in livecd...to unmount ? | 14:57 |
| jonaskoelker | QUESTION: I cd into ~/sshfs-mounted-other-machine/stuff; then run 'time make --debug'. It takes 1m 22s to do nothing, spending less than a second in (user+kernel). Running make on other-machine takes ~1s. What might be going on? | 14:57 |
| jonaskoelker | ... and how do I make Make more snappy? | 14:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Napst3r: yes the partition must be unmounted, you can do it in root recovery console too, you will have to manually umount the partitions first | 14:57 |
| crackheadjunky | eraggo: since i cant fine a 9.10 img file, how do i get one? i dont want to have to build it unless there is a decent tool that will let me do it | 14:57 |
| Napst3r | and then ... | 14:57 |
| Napst3r | fdisk ? | 14:57 |
| Napst3r | i've linux on /dev/sda7 | 14:58 |
| eraggo | crackheadjunky: you've tried 9.04? | 14:58 |
| BlackFate | cool | 14:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Napst3r: fsck -a /dev/<partition name> | 14:58 |
| crackheadjunky | eraggo: thats the version i get the errors on | 14:58 |

| jonaskoelker | do I ask too difficult questions? | 14:59 |
| ZummiG777 | Question: Are there any Super OS people in here? | 14:59 |
| aussie_nutt | define super OS | 14:59 |
| aussie_nutt | lol | 15:00 |
| ZummiG777 | The OS SuperOS. | 15:00 |
| erUSUL | jonaskoelker: make -jn (n = number of simultaneous process) | 15:00 |
| Pici | ZummiG777: Since this is the Ubuntu support channel, probably not. | 15:00 |
| ActionParsnip | aussie_nutt: its another ubuntu derivitive | 15:00 |
| aussie_nutt | oh ok news to me lmao | 15:00 |
| jonaskoelker | erUSUL: make seems to be stuck at "Reading makefiles..." | 15:00 |
| ZummiG777 | OK: I was told it was related to the Ubuntu OS. Sorry - just doing initial public mirror investigation stuff. | 15:00 |
| erUSUL | jonaskoelker: take into account the ssh overhead | 15:01 |
| crackheadjunky | eraggo: those are for diff computers, and dont support 386 | 15:01 |
| jonaskoelker | erUSUL: true, but should it take 72 seconds to read 10 kilobytes? | 15:01 |
| Pici | ZummiG777: We do not support unofficial deriviatives of Ubuntu here | 15:01 |
| eraggo | dang; just a sec | 15:01 |
| erUSUL | jonaskoelker: roundtrips for protocol negotation key exchange encrypt/decrypt etc | 15:01 |
| eto | really guys i need help | 15:01 |
| crackheadjunky | eraggo: sorry, x86 | 15:01 |
| erUSUL | jonaskoelker: use nfs | 15:01 |
| jonaskoelker | erUSUL: or is Make stat'ing a [makelove]ton of files? | 15:01 |
| h4r1 | Pici: Thanks | 15:02 |
| erUSUL | jonaskoelker: dunno; what are you compiling ? | 15:02 |
| crackheadjunky | eto whats up what do you need? | 15:02 |
| ZummiG777 | Thanks! | 15:02 |
| jonaskoelker | erUSUL: is sshfs that much more inefficient than encrypted nfs? | 15:02 |
| jonaskoelker | erUSUL: a short and simple latex document | 15:02 |
| aussie_nutt | ACTION JUST ANOTHER BLOATED THING HEHE | 15:02 |
| pbn | Hi, I'm trying to (re)configure the locales on some Ubuntu machine. On Debian GNU/Linux "dpkg-reconfigure locales" brings me a dialog that allows me to choose which locales are generated, but on Ubuntu "dpkg-reconfigure locales" doesn't bring me that dialog. How can I (re)configure the locales ? | 15:02 |
| aussie_nutt | sorry forgot that caps on | 15:02 |
| eto | IO ACPI resources could not be allocated and bailout to some busybox shell | 15:02 |
| erUSUL | jonaskoelker: does nfs has an encrypted version ?? afaik it does not | 15:02 |
| eto | crackheadjunky | 15:02 |
| crackheadjunky | eto im sorry, but thats over my head right now | 15:03 |
| jonaskoelker | erUSUL: in fact--nothing, since it's alread built. Make is slow enough when it only needs to do nothing | 15:03 |
| jonaskoelker | erUSUL: hm, then nfs over tcp tunneled through ssh? | 15:03 |
| eto | i tried to boot with noapic nolapic acpi=no | 15:03 |
| ActionParsnip | aussie_nutt: not necessarily, just another unofficial release which is no bad thing | 15:03 |
| eto | i get the message even then | 15:03 |
| erUSUL | jonaskoelker: it has to stat all the projects files to see if there is something to do | 15:03 |
| ActionParsnip | aussie_nutt: just not supported here :) | 15:03 |
| aussie_nutt | guess it good thing dif ppl have dif tastes | 15:03 |
| jonaskoelker | erUSUL: right... there are ~5 of those, and it needs to source maybe 3 .tex files (preamble.tex, etc.) | 15:04 |
| aussie_nutt | but wouldnt u think it be kinda same as if ur doing ubuntu or there alot changes to it | 15:04 |
| jonaskoelker | erUSUL: that shouldn't take 72 seconds | 15:04 |
| n-iCe | hi | 15:04 |
| jonaskoelker | erUSUL: or is my university network just hosing me? ... ? | 15:04 |

| Neosano | Hello guys, how can I use pm-suspend by clicking a button in panel? Is it possible? | 15:05 |
| erUSUL | jonaskoelker: dunno; why not do a sniffing and see what the time is spent ? | 15:05 |
| jonaskoelker | erUSUL: a sniffing? | 15:05 |
| crackheadjunky | eraggo: thats what i thought. the problem is, i cant get them to start the install because of the error | 15:05 |
| crackheadjunky | :-D | 15:05 |
| ActionParsnip | aussie_nutt: you can change the default packages and also add your own repo to allow updates for things not in a standard install, Linux is as flexible as you like | 15:05 |
| eraggo | crackheadjunky: can you go in safe mode? >:) | 15:06 |
| erUSUL | jonaskoelker: thinking about it... it is all encrypted you would not be able to make any sense of the raw packets :) | 15:06 |
| Nemanja | hello | 15:06 |

| aussie_nutt | for sure action that y there so many types out there | 15:06 |
| iceroot | Neosano: just add a launcher and write down the command the the preferences | 15:06 |
| crackheadjunky | eraggo: and it wont live cd | 15:06 |
| crackheadjunky | or live mount | 15:06 |
| jonaskoelker | erUSUL: fwiw, doing an 'ls -l' takes ~2 secs, so it can't _just_ be the statting of a buncha' files | 15:06 |
| Nemanja | I have Problem from ubuntu 9.10 | 15:06 |

| aussie_nutt | dam i hate wine | 15:18 |
| grobda24 | satish1, have you tried running the wineconf gui program ? | 15:18 |
| n8tuser | grobda24-> what do you mean? | 15:19 |
| erUSUL | satish1: that does not need a special config or enabling | 15:19 |
| ActionParsnip | satish1: i'd ask in #winehq but you will find it takes no config to get www access | 15:19 |
| ActionParsnip | aussie_nutt: some apps run amazingly | 15:19 |
| aussie_nutt | have u ever thought of it this way more u use it n get things working with wine the less there going to bring them native to linux :( | 15:19 |
| tavi | erUSUL: and there? | 15:19 |
| crackheadjunky | ActionParsnip: honestly, i really could use your assistance, but it seems as if i have missed what you have asked me to do. i do apologize, but my sight isnt what it used to be. also, i know what the md5sum does, i just didnt think to check the image. thanks | 15:19 |
| Sidewinder1 | <crackheadjunky>I don't type that fast and an explanation would cause blisters on my fingers. "-) Sooo... check this out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Md5sum | 15:19 |
| satish1 | i use pppd to connect to internet , i hv tried winecfg | 15:19 |
| ActionParsnip | crackheadjunky: ok, you have just pulled down 700Mb of data | 15:19 |
| grobda24 | n8tuser, I nned to create a ttyUSB node for my Qualcomm 3G device. I need to Telnet to it to turn off the internal flash memory which is blocking it being seen as a modem. | 15:19 |

| U8untu | aussie_nutt //i dont know what u gave me..it wasnt good..but thx...my problem was with the sound card..not with screensaver..or what u gave me..i restarted my pc..and it works the audio | 15:20 |
| erUSUL | tavi: change the program used to listen to an emision to something you have installed | 15:20 |
| erUSUL | tavi: should be pretty self explanatory | 15:20 |
| aussie_nutt | u8 if u used google there lots there about it | 15:20 |
| ActionParsnip | crackheadjunky: tcp trys to give some robustness to this whole charade but it is not infallable, you use MD5 checks to validate the data you have is complete and correct. | 15:20 |
| tavi | erUSUL: there is a list | 15:20 |
| tavi | i click | 15:21 |
| tavi | and nothing | 15:21 |
| aussie_nutt | i think i gave u wrong one anyway i had to up there lol plus doing other things | 15:21 |
| ActionParsnip | crackheadjunky: a checksum is calculated on the data and you can compare it to the checksum of what SHOULD result. If they are different, the data is bad and will explain why you are having issues | 15:21 |
| erUSUL | tavi: i click and i can edit the command line | 15:21 |
| grobda24 | How do I create a ttyUSB node for my Qualcomm 3G device ? I need to Telnet to it to turn off the internal flash memory which is blocking it being seen as a modem. | 15:21 |
| erUSUL | tavi: i have mplayer %s | 15:21 |
| ActionParsnip | crackheadjunky: if it is ok then the data you have is correct and complete and ready for use | 15:21 |
| n8tuser | grobda24-> once you plugged it in on your pc, what does it become? a tty? does it have an entry in /dev? maybe you can use udevinfo to tell you? | 15:21 |
| erUSUL | tavi: i have mplayer %q sorry | 15:21 |
| aussie_nutt | it was Sis thing right u8 | 15:21 |

| n8tuser | grobda24-> i cant stay long right now, try this command sudo udevinfo -e|less | 15:23 |
| U8untu | ActionParsnip what if i slap it with a hammer..then i try? :)) | 15:23 |
| tavi | erUSUL: i wrote in terminal two commands paste and copy | 15:23 |
| n-iCe | Ubuntu 10.04 "Lucid Lynx" | 15:24 |
| ActionParsnip | U8untu: use a sledge, that'll sort it. Go buy a new router, they are cheap | 15:24 |
| tavi | erUSUL: one after other | 15:24 |
| aussie_nutt | sledge is good | 15:24 |
| tavi | erUSUL: like this CFLAGS="-march=prescott -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-gnutls=yes | 15:24 |
| tavi | erUSUL: should do both? | 15:24 |

| erUSUL | !source | tavi | 15:24 |
| ubottu | tavi: You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html | 15:24 |
| erUSUL | !compile | tavi | 15:25 |
| ubottu | tavi: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) | 15:25 |
| Sidewinder1 | <crackheadjunky>Icheck this out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Md5sum There is a Windoze version (free) of md5sum that you can download and run on ant iso that you download; you just need to get the "hash" from the place where you d/l the iso. It looks something like this: huio7op9h476fjjf90dkksl3 | 15:25 |
| ActionParsnip | U8untu: then you will have no-one connect to your irc server from the outside world | 15:25 |
| ActionParsnip | !lucid | 15:25 |
| ubottu | Lucid Lynx is the codename for Ubuntu 10.04, due April 2010 | 15:25 |
| ActionParsnip | hahaha | 15:25 |
| ActionParsnip | already | 15:25 |
| crackheadjunky | ActionParsnip: i ran the md5sum in vista cmd line, and i get an error that it is not recognized as a internal or external cmd | 15:25 |
| beans43 | how to tell wget to get a file to directory1? wget http://... "folder" did not work | 15:25 |
| ActionParsnip | crackheadjunky: vista is crap and doesnt have md5 checking by default, you must install md5 checking software yourself | 15:25 |
| tavi | erUSUL: what? | 15:25 |
| azhoral | ciao | 15:26 |
| Pici | beans43: wget http://something -O /path/to/somewhere/file.out | 15:26 |

| beans43 | Pici, thx | 15:26 |
| aussie_nutt | lmao vista is ok | 15:26 |

| grawity | scrub: tar xvf file.tar.gz | 15:28 |
| ActionParsnip | U8untu: you are limited by your hardware, i'dcontact your support. They may help you | 15:28 |
| kyle6513 | hi, im having some trouble with swiftfox, anyone who can help me? or is this the wrong place. | 15:28 |
| aussie_nutt | if there like most of them action then i dont think they can lol | 15:29 |
| U8untu | ActionParsnip they are in the city i live..i have sent them an email..but they arent answering..they are stupid..idiots | 15:29 |
| xps9000 | kyle6513: What sort of problem? | 15:29 |
| harisund | Does xubuntu come with the same hardware drivers that Ubuntu comes with? Ubuntu recognized my tablet PC almost completely (sound, wifi, lan, stylus and tools etc) and I needed to just install nvidia drivers from the web. I can trust the same will happen with xubuntu? | 15:29 |
| scrub | grawity: thank you. its untar now but then what :) srry noob questions :) | 15:30 |
| grawity | harisund: Yes, the only difference between Ubuntu and Xubuntu is the desktop environment (Xubuntu comes with Xfce instead of GNOME). | 15:30 |
| Sidewinder1 | ActionParsnip>One can lead a horse to the trough, but one can't make 'im drink. :-) | 15:30 |
| ActionParsnip | harisund: allthe official buntus are the same, only the default DE and wM are different | 15:30 |
| kyle6513 | well my sessions arent stored and i attempted to install a couple of addons and they didnt pop up asking me to restart and when i did it manually they didnt appear in my list | 15:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Sidewinder1: but you can push it in though :D | 15:30 |
| grawity | scrub: Now 'ls' to list files - it should have created a new directory - and 'cd' to go into that directory. | 15:30 |
| Sidewinder1 | ROFL | 15:30 |
| kyle6513 | im running xubuntu though | 15:30 |
| harisund | grawity and ActionParsnip why are the repositories different? Why am I not allowed to install say ubuntu-restricted-extras on xubuntu? | 15:30 |
| grawity | scrub: Then, check if 'README' or 'INSTALL' exist. | 15:30 |
| ActionParsnip | harisund: they arent, they are identical | 15:30 |
| aussie_nutt | u install watever u want | 15:30 |
| eraggo | crackheadjunky: did there were problem with md5? | 15:30 |
| grawity | harisund: They aren't. All Ubuntu, Kubuntu and Xubuntu share exactly the same repos. | 15:31 |
| megabraker | hi evrybody | 15:31 |
| ActionParsnip | harisund: the repos are the same, ubuntu uses a different sound system to xubuntu and kubuntu as well so the matapackage reflects that | 15:31 |
| scrub | grawity: yes the readme file is there and the install file is there | 15:31 |
| grawity | scrub: Well, read both. (Use 'less') | 15:31 |
| harisund | hmm ok thanks :) i want to use xubuntu, but i am afraid i won't receive the same kind of "support" that i get on ubuntu | 15:31 |
| ActionParsnip | harisund: you can even go crazy and install kubuntu-desktop on ubuntu to get a full kde desktop | 15:31 |
| scrub | kk | 15:32 |
| scrub | thx | 15:32 |
| megabraker | i installed bt4 and the sound did not start | 15:32 |
| ActionParsnip | harisund: xubuntu is an official release so has full support | 15:32 |
| aussie_nutt | still in alpa or beta bt4 isnt it | 15:32 |
| megabraker | so if any one knows how to make it start pls help me | 15:32 |
| megabraker | !!! | 15:32 |

| kyle6513 | xps9000,well my sessions arent stored and i attempted to install a couple of addons and they didnt pop up asking me to restart and when i did it manually they didnt appear in my list | 15:33 |
| shane2peru | In my printer settings I have set the page to A4, and everytime I print in Ooo I still have to change the page size in the printer options when printing, how can I force A4 options across the board | 15:33 |
| xps9000 | kyle6513: That's odd, did you reinstall the app? | 15:34 |
| kyle6513 | xps9000, the addons are in the list and they are saying they will be installed when swiftfox is restarted | 15:34 |
| bostonmk7 | can anybody help with desktop effects/ compiz issues? | 15:34 |
| eraggo | crackheadjunky: did there were problem with md5sum :) | 15:34 |

| megabraker | but bt4 is an ubuntu distrubution!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | 15:35 |
| xps9000 | kyle6513: Have you tried removing all the addons, uninstalling swiftfox and trying again? | 15:35 |
| aussie_nutt | u got UAC on crack | 15:35 |

| kyle6513 | I have a t22 thinkpad laptop, and it has a middle clicking button, i was wondering if i could get it to work like in windows with if you press it you can move the mouse down a tad and it will auto scroll the document, is this possible? | 15:42 |
| Sidewinder1 | Good luck! | 15:42 |
| DreamsofanEagle | under the Ubuntu repository, I do have ATI Binary X.org driver installed | 15:43 |
| shane2peru | anyone know how to change the printing settings for OpenOffice? It is consistently trying to print with page size of letter, I use A4? | 15:43 |
| IdleOne | benedikt: if I understand it right the packages in multiverse will be dependent on non-free so you can disable multiverse and not use those packages. | 15:43 |
| DreamsofanEagle | and all the DVD players and DVDs do it | 15:43 |
| DreamsofanEagle | under Ubuntu, windows is fine | 15:43 |
| === unique is now known as uniquefluff | ||
| IdleOne | benedikt: but then again I might be wrong about the non-free dependence | 15:44 |
| benedikt | IdleOne: according to the ubuntu community docs the "main" component is free software though. | 15:44 |
| eraggo | shane2peru: File->Print...->Properties? | 15:44 |
| shane2peru | DreamsofanEagle: you have ATI? What is the problem | 15:44 |
| benedikt | IdleOne: ill just disable the entire multiverse repo and be done with it. | 15:44 |
| Pirate_Hunter | anyone care to help me identify my bios device on this comp cant boot from CD even if it is set in bios pressing f11 and choosing the boot device than gives msgs 'Searching for boot record from CD/DVD-0. Not found', that is not what I wish for it to do | 15:45 |
| DreamsofanEagle | splits in the video render of any DVD, part of the screen is ahead of other by a few miliseconds | 15:45 |

| stan__ | Hello Everybody | 15:48 |
| xps9000 | kyle6513, sorry for the inconvience, but, the problem could be a unique set of permissions that are denying access to the folder that writes for Addons. It's really hard to say from here. | 15:48 |
| shane2peru | Sidewinder1: neither am I, wasn't sure how to put it. | 15:48 |
| kyle6513 | xps9000, could it be possible to open the normal firefox with swiftfox installed? | 15:48 |
| Sidewinder1 | Pici, won't tell... I know, ..ot | 15:48 |
| DreamsofanEagle | shane2peru: under the Ubuntu repository, it says that Hardware Drivers is not installed | 15:48 |
| stan__ | hi | 15:48 |
| Zxcvb_lap | how would I install kde 4.3.1 and koffice 4.0.x (not the 4.1 beta) from backports? | 15:48 |
| IdleOne | benedikt: I understand, some people want only free software. Personally I don't mind a little non-free to get certain things working | 15:49 |
| xps9000 | kyle6513, no, generally swift installs over firefox mainstream brand. | 15:49 |
| omabena | hi it's there a ubuntu mac intel-based version? | 15:49 |
| shane2peru | DreamsofanEagle: you need to install ubuntu-restricted I think that is where the driver is you need, what ati card do you have? | 15:49 |
| benedikt | IdleOne: im forced to use nvidia binary drivers on my laptop.. this is a server though :-) | 15:49 |
| DreamsofanEagle | shane2peru: it says its to configure third party and proprietary drivers | 15:49 |
| DreamsofanEagle | shane2peru: 4870 | 15:49 |
| shane2peru | DreamsofanEagle: radeon? HD? | 15:50 |
| megabraker | just do a search on google and you will find ubuntu boxes | 15:50 |
| kyle6513 | xps9000, uninstall swift, install firefox and then get the addons working then install swift again? | 15:50 |
| IdleOne | benedikt: did you try editing /etc/apt/sources.list and remove the restricted part? | 15:50 |
| xps9000 | kyle6513, that's fruitless. | 15:50 |
| kyle6513 | xps9000, as in couldnt do anything useful? | 15:50 |
| nozu | how do I install flash to Opera in ubuntu x64? Or is it possible? | 15:50 |
| xps9000 | kyle6513, correct | 15:50 |
| IdleOne | benedikt: but if you need to use the nvidia drivers then your not completely non-free heh | 15:50 |
| kyle6513 | xps9000, okay thanks for the help | 15:50 |
| xps9000 | kyle6513, if you are open to new programs, I was an avid hater of Opera, but, they seem to have everything worked out now, you could give it a try. They too have addons. Though, I prefer firefox myself also. | 15:51 |

| kyle6513 | xps9000, its the fact that im use to firefox and that i like being able to sync my addons between my desktop and laptop, also, from a chart i saw on the internet, opera consumes more power than FF with adblock plus installed | 15:52 |
| daevski | Opera is very nice lately | 15:52 |
| nozu | but how do you install flash to opera in ubuntu x64?! | 15:52 |
| tavi | tell me the most stable audio player radio plaer for linux | 15:52 |
| nozu | or do I have to change to ubuntu x32 | 15:53 |
| nozu | ? | 15:53 |
| daevski | @nozu -- I don't think flash supports 64bit yet -- I would switch to 32bit | 15:53 |
| shane2peru | DreamsofanEagle: try the ubuntu-restricted package and see if that helps | 15:53 |
| xps9000 | kyle6513, It consumes more power on some machines, it depends on the configuration, but, to be honest, I am seeing a performance gain with Opera over FF. But, that's from very rough estimations. I can only suggest try it, and Opera now supports synchronization aswell | 15:53 |
| Pirate_Hunter | uni4dfx: I cant boot into cdrom I have already tried changing it with another one still nada, all I have on the bios is what ive posted which aint much and google sure is not helping | 15:53 |

| xps9000 | kyle6513, I have read them :P Like I said, most testing is standard on one machine, it's hardly vigorous. And Opera has an addon similar to addblock and noscript. | 15:55 |

| sipior | eurythmia: have a look in /var/cache/apt/archives. you're probably keeping a copy of every package installed. | 15:56 |

| shane2peru | DreamsofanEagle: seems as though your card is installed correctly then, I'm not really sure. | 16:03 |
| DreamsofanEagle | Like I said, windows will play it fine, Linux won't :/ | 16:03 |
| shane2peru | DreamsofanEagle: I gotta run, I'm not sure if it is a driver issue with your ati card, or a playback issue with video formats, but one of those two is probably the problem | 16:04 |
| shane2peru | DreamsofanEagle: what are you using to playback? vlc you said? | 16:04 |
| eurythmia | SE, it's because I set up a script to import ~9Gigs of SQL files into my postgresql database ... but they had long filenames ... so my guess is that the logs/records filled up the diskspace, and everything just stopped. | 16:04 |

| daum | Myrtti, does x11vnc does it allow multiple users to connecta t the same time to the server? | 16:15 |

| DreamsofanEagle | it WILL NOT let me run it as a super user :( | 16:16 |
| kyle6513 | xps9000, yep it just came up with something that i can click on to restart swiftfox and it just restarted and installed swiftfox succesfully, and who says i need fourms :P so im guessing you were right about the permissions problem | 16:16 |

| dsdeiz__ | hello, wicd is not in the repo? | 16:21 |
| kyle6513 | xps9000, thats probably not a good thing since alot of paid software developers will come in and make linux a costly solution | 16:21 |
| grawity | So anyway. Windows' UAC is _supposed_ to be annoying. (Micros~1 said so.) | 16:21 |
| hungremy | Acer aspire One D250 Lan adapter not work. Help!! | 16:22 |
| kyle6513 | grawity, i lasted about 4 months with it on, then it just started to be annoying because it was popping up while i played games >.> | 16:22 |
| eraggo | dsdeiz__: Why you would like to use it? | 16:22 |
| DreamsofanEagle | alright, BRB, gonna see if these drivers work :/ | 16:22 |
| ZykoticK9 | dsdeiz__, "apt-cache serach wicd" - looks to be there 9.04 | 16:22 |
| dsdeiz__ | ZykoticK9: just found out it isn't in the repo for 8.10 | 16:22 |
| SingAlong_ | I'm using UNR on my netbook. and an error says the ubuntu repo isnt available anymore | 16:22 |
| dsdeiz__ | eraggo: is it bad" | 16:22 |
| SingAlong_ | any problems? | 16:22 |
| xps9000 | kyle6513, meh, Linux will always be free. People just pay for support. But, once again, we are off topic, if you want to continue the convo, PM me--I don't want pico getting mad. | 16:22 |
| dsdeiz__ | ? | 16:22 |
| xps9000 | woops, pici* | 16:23 |
| eraggo | :D sorry thought that you use 9.04 | 16:23 |
| grawity | kyle6513: The idea was kind of like this: a program needs admin rights without any reason --> it causes a lot of UAC popups --> user gets annoyed --> user complains to program's developers --> program gets fixed | 16:23 |
| eraggo | dsdeiz__: if you however want to get it; http://wicd.sourceforge.net/ | 16:23 |
| grawity | kyle6513: But reality is kind of like this: a program needs admin rights without any reason --> it causes a lot of UAC popups --> user gets annoyed --> user complains to Windows developers --> UAC gets disabled | 16:23 |
| dsdeiz__ | eraggo: yeah, found it now | 16:23 |
| dsdeiz__ | thanks | 16:23 |
| kyle6513 | xps9000, i have alot of work to do right now but maybe another time if i remember to come back on :P | 16:24 |

| SingAlong_ | anyone? | 16:24 |
| SingAlong_ | is the repo down for ubuntu netbook remix? | 16:24 |
| kyle6513 | spree, every time you connect to a network it will make an "auto ESSID" | 16:25 |
| grawity | SingAlong_: I think all official Ubuntu releases use the same repositories. | 16:25 |
| kyle6513 | so yeah you must have connected to alot of wireless internets | 16:25 |
| kyle6513 | just click on the entry and click remove | 16:25 |
| spree | kyle6513 that's not what i'm asking. I want to know where the file is that stores these old connections | 16:25 |
| SingAlong_ | grawity: well i'm not able to check for updates. says the repo isnt available anymore | 16:25 |
| spree | and yes kyle6513 i actually work for a wireless company | 16:25 |
| kyle6513 | spree, ah okay cant help you there | 16:25 |

| jack_spratt | I reinstalled grub yesterday after an error17 problem, but grub just boots to its console. using that console, it cant find menu.lst, even though it exists. having looked in /dev it appears that there are no sda or hda files for my HDDs, which is presumably causing these errors. Is this normal for ubuntu? im using kubuntu 9.04 | 16:34 |

| Zykotic-K9 | gabbah, to my knowledge torrents don't work that way - it's not like an ftp/http download that's beginning to end - it just grabs whatever it can from whomever it can | 16:37 |
| sparr | I have a monitor and a LCD TV. the LCD TV doesn't support DDC, so I can't probe it for valid resolutions.

| administrator | I need some help | 16:43 |
| ^mNotIntelligent | administrator, go ahead | 16:43 |
| megabraker | what kind of help | 16:43 |
| === administrator is now known as Guest82640 | ||
| Zykotic-K9 | jack_spratt, if you are only at a grub prompt you won't have udev running - thus dev is gonna be missing a lot of stuff! | 16:43 |
| Guest82640 | I am trying to get a machine running Xubuntu to connect to a wireless network using a Linksys card | 16:44 |
| megabraker | go head | 16:44 |
| ^mNotIntelligent | Guest82640, so whats the issue? | 16:44 |
| Guest82640 | I have the network added, and everything seems fine, except the network isn't showing u[p | 16:44 |
| Guest82640 | none are | 16:44 |
| * ^mNotIntelligent brb | 16:45 | |
| n8tuser | Guest82640-> can you change your nick to a unique nick so its easier to respond to you? | 16:45 |
| jack_spratt | Zykotic-K9: but grub normall manages to boot and access devices... | 16:46 |
| Zykotic-K9 | Guest82640, just an FYI - perhaps doesn't apply to you - when I first install with one of my Linksys card I need to use a wired connection - do the updates - THEN I can go to Hardware Drivers and enable my wireless card. Just something to think about. | 16:46 |
| === root is now known as Guest55906 | ||
| Zykotic-K9 | jack_spratt, grub uses different drive mapping then the DEV stuff | 16:47 |
| Guest82640 | Thnx Zykotic, I think I got it now | 16:47 |
| Guest82640 | gtg in school and I'm in deep dung if bagged | 16:47 |
| jack_spratt | Zykotic-K9: see, yesterday in #linux I was told "you need to create the device files in /dev for grub-install to work. On a redhat based distro there would be MAKEDEV and mknod scripts" | 16:47 |
| grawity | Lol. | 16:47 |
| grawity | jack_spratt: Well, Ubuntu is Debian-based, not RedHat-based. | 16:48 |
| Zykotic-K9 | jack_spratt, Grub relies on the BIOS HD definitions thus we see stuff like "HD(0,0)" sorta thing in the Grub config file | 16:48 |
| n8tuser | jack_spratt-> i believed there is still that MAKEDEV script | 16:49 |
| SilentJonathan | hello, i have installed a earlier version of gcc and g++ but now i want to revert back to the orignal gcc version, does /usr/bin/gcc always have symlinks to the proper gcc files (/usr/bin/gcc-4.3) | 16:49 |
| erUSUL | n8tuser: jack_spratt using a static dev in this day and age is not very usefull... | 16:50 |
| jack_spratt | n8tuser: but you dont think running it will solve my grub problem? | 16:50 |
| erUSUL | jack_spratt: better find out why the dev for your disk are not created... | 16:50 |
| n8tuser | erUSUL-> i agree, but i think he is insisting, so i point him that it still exist | 16:50 |
| Zykotic-K9 | jack_spratt, erUSUL how could DEV work when it isn't running? | 16:50 |
| jack_spratt | erUSUL: yesterday I chrooted into the install and ran ls -a /dev/ | grep -i sd and got nothing. thats conclusive that theres a dev problem right? | 16:50 |
| zw13b4ck | german people are here | 16:51 |
| erUSUL | Zykotic-K9: what? what is not running? | 16:51 |

| erUSUL | Zykotic-K9: then why are we discussing linux dev issues ? | 16:52 |
| n8tuser | Zykotic-K9-> at that time im sure there are /dev/tty so /dev exist | 16:52 |
| Zykotic-K9 | erUSUL, don't look at me | 16:52 |
| megabraker | lol | 16:52 |
| erUSUL | jack_spratt: no thats not conclusive. what happened is exactly what is expected | 16:53 |
| jack_spratt | erUSUL: :( | 16:54 |
| erUSUL | jack_spratt: you have to mount --bind /dev/ /proc/ and /sys/ before chrooting to have a working chroot | 16:54 |
| jack_spratt | erUSUL: well what would your recommendation be for troubleshooting the fact that my new grub install leaves me at a grub> prompt? | 16:54 |
| erUSUL | jack_spratt: so you first mount the root parition in "/mount/point" then sudo mount --bind /dev/ /mount/point/dev the same ith proc and sys then sudo chroot /mount/point. and then and only then you can chroot | 16:55 |
| erUSUL | jack_spratt: it does not find menu.lst ? | 16:56 |
| jack_spratt | erUSUL: but you think that doing that would be a worthwhile procedure, or would you suggest that I do something else? | 16:56 |
| jack_spratt | erUSUL: no it says file not found | 16:56 |
| Majix | yoooooooooooooooooo | 16:56 |
| jack_spratt | erUSUL: but the file exists | 16:56 |
| anderson | oi | 16:56 |
| anderson | tudo bem | 16:56 |
| erUSUL | jack_spratt: the other option is from grub promt do find stage1 | 16:57 |
| erUSUL | jack_spratt: then do root (whatever the other command outputs) and finaly setup (hd0) | 16:57 |
| erUSUL | !grub | jack_spratt all explained here iirc | 16:57 |

| megabraker_ | could any body give me the remote exploit chanel | 17:17 |
| genii | d_: For dyndns and others like it, package ez-ipupdate | 17:17 |
| jack_spratt | erUSUL:OK, I think thats what ill do. Sigh. I spent about 7hrs on this yesterday, and I had to work (php dev) all day today on my netbook (the horror). All I did to cause all these problems in the first place was plug an HDD into a different IDE cable, and then when it didnt work move it back. But alas. So it goes. | 17:18 |
| d_ | genii, I was told to use a high port number. low port number could be used to hack root. is this true? | 17:18 |
| megabraker_ | #remote-exploit | 17:18 |
| guntbert | megabraker_: please STOP that | 17:18 |
| d_ | Genii, I would everydns, but my router has the client software built in for dyndns. | 17:18 |
| erUSUL | jack_spratt: good luck with the reinstall | 17:18 |
| jack_spratt | erUSUL: thanks very much. And thanks for all your help | 17:19 |
| erUSUL | no problem | 17:19 |
| jack_spratt | n8tuser: thanks for your help earlier :) | 17:19 |
| genii | d_: It *is* good practice to use a port other than 22 on the router, (something unused over 1024 for instance) and then forward that internally to 22 on the server | 17:19 |
| jack_spratt | Out of interest, anyone know how kubuntu compares to pardus? | 17:20 |
| kubanc | what's the best bluetooth application, connecting mobile phone to notebook on ubuntu 8.04 | 17:20 |
| genii | d_: Basically it just helps to make brute-force ssh login attempts more difficult to execute when it can't find anything responding on 22 | 17:20 |
| d_ | Genii, ok, um, how do I do that? Also, I have three comptuers on my router. how do I dentify the computer I want to use. | 17:20 |
| NetMan5 | how come windows xp does not see my samba network share in network neighborhood unless I type \\hostnameOfMyBox in the address bar? | 17:21 |

| Juzzy | I have a remote firewall with a sangoma t1 card that's badly outdated (ub 7.10). Is it possible to rebuild the kernel modules for a kernel that I need to upgrade to? | 17:23 |
| Juzzy | to make matters worse, the repo's are dead | 17:24 |
| Juzzy | so I'm going to have to take the hardy source.list and upgrade to it | 17:24 |
| erUSUL | Juzzy: you can find the repos for upgrading in old-releases.ubuntu.com | 17:24 |
| Juzzy | erUSUL: ya, same problem though | 17:25 |
| JeoTheLeo | hello | 17:25 |
| === Adele is now known as paigeadele | ||
| Juzzy | I need a way to compile my t1 card's drivers, so when it reboots into the new kernel, it'll have them for the internet | 17:25 |
| JeoTheLeo | is anyone here experienced with intel graphics accelerator? | 17:25 |
| erUSUL | Juzzy: what problem ? you point your sources to old-releases upgrade to latest packages and then dist-upgrade to 8.04 | 17:25 |
| genii | d_: Most modern routers have the feature of assigning an IP to lan computer based on it's MAC address. In this way the computer can always be set to auto-get an address but always rec eives the same one. Then you use this as the IP which to forward for instance something like port 45678 incoming on router to port 22 | 17:26 |
| erUSUL | Juzzy: which is LTS and has a nice long support cycle ;) | 17:26 |
| Juzzy | erUSUL: read what i said. | 17:26 |
| genii | d_: Apologies on lag, work required me | 17:26 |
| Juzzy | erUSUL: My -true- problem is the t1 card's drivers (kernel modules) will not exist when i reboot to a new kernel | 17:27 |
| Juzzy | thus I'd have to fly out there to fix it | 17:27 |
| genii | d_: The mechanisms for how you specifically will need to set these things up is largely dependent on your router make/model/features so I would suggest to consult it's owner manual | 17:27 |
| erUSUL | Juzzy: then you are stuck with an old distro | 17:28 |
| Juzzy | erUSUL: I was hoping for something more creative | 17:28 |
| JeoTheLeo | is anyone here experienced with intel graphics accelerator? | 17:28 |
| Juzzy | like a fakeroot / kernel rebuild on a ub 8.04 box locally, etc | 17:29 |

| ahabman | Hi. What's the easiest way to observe if a file has been modified/saved, then run a command against it? inotify? | 17:32 |
| treyh | you guys know about any bugs where rdesktop makes audio choppy | 17:33 |
| eager_geek | Ahabman, use diff | 17:33 |
| compgenius999 | I just tried to install a splash screen | 17:33 |
| compgenius999 | now gnome wont work anymore | 17:33 |
| compgenius999 | how do i fix it? | 17:33 |
| spree | bruenig, log out of root, connecting to irc as root is a bad idea. | 17:33 |
| genii | eager_geek: For a diff, you need something to compare it against | 17:33 |
| d_ | Thanks genii. sorry abotu the lag also... was on the phone. | 17:34 |
| compgenius999 | somebody? | 17:34 |
| bruenig | spree: mind your own business, thanks | 17:34 |
| ahabman | eager_geek, I was hoping for something to run continuously and watch some files. Diff would have to be on a very short cron right? | 17:35 |
| compgenius999 | i tried to install a splash screen now gnome isnt starting and usplash spammed me with errors, then i got loads of /dev/null errors and got dropped into a teminal... | 17:35 |
| eager_geek | genii, i may have misunderstood the question | 17:35 |
| d_ | genii, so how do I identify a specific computer on my router. I have three. | 17:35 |
| sipior | ahabman: yes, inotify will do what you want. consider installing the inotify-tools package: there may be things there you can use. | 17:35 |
| calum | ahabman, can your programs move your file into a different place when changed? That way all A has to do is move it into place, and B has to just check for its existence and then delete it when done. | 17:35 |
| compgenius999 | :( | 17:36 |
| ahabman | sipior, I'll check out that package. Calum, nope, nothing that sophisticated, yet. | 17:36 |
| compgenius999 | come on, nobody is helping me with my gnome | 17:36 |
| genii | d_: On most routers, you can view current machines which have been given a DHCP number by the router. They most often have the name which you gave to the box as the "machine name" or so, thats usually how i identify them. But you can also do it by knowing the MAC of the machine you want to utilize (found by ifconfig in linux) | 17:37 |
| ActionParsnip | yo yo yo | 17:37 |
| sipior | compgenius999: how about giving some details, like the precise /dev/null error message? or were we supposed to guess all the details? | 17:37 |

| Snerf | ActionParsnip, it is disabled there, it still kicks in | 18:17 |

| Liam | Bodsda - Thank you so much =] Im hoping linux will be fun, and nicer than windows :P | 18:18 |
| Dr_Willis | Snerf: is it the screensaver kicking in.. or the monitor powering off? | 18:18 |

| Snerf | no, the monitor is not powering off | 18:19 |
| Snerf | how do I check the ownership of the files? and which files? | 18:19 |
| Dr_Willis | Snerf: dpms hsa several modes.. it could be kicking in a low power mode.. befor it powers off. | 18:19 |

| Snerf | lemme check Dr_Willis | 18:20 |
| Liam | Bodsda - Is it more difficult than windows, or is it the same sort of thing? | 18:20 |
| Dr_Willis | Gadfly: could be rc.local is running befor network is up and going fully.. perhaps make it wait about 30 sec... | 18:20 |
| Bodsda | Liam: it is no more difficult as long as you are willing to learn and to forget your bad windows habits :) | 18:21 |

| Dr_Willis | Gadfly: you proverly should make that huge disaster of a rc.local script in to a stand alone script and call it from rc.local. | 18:21 |
| Dr_Willis | Gadfly: that would be a bit cleaner I think and easier to test. | 18:21 |
| lakotajames | is it safe to skip the blacklist checks by compiz? | 18:22 |
| Marco_ | anyone here who is using an ich southbridge? | 18:22 |
| Pici | Gadfly: Also, are you sure that your network interfaces are up when the script is running? | 18:22 |
| Gadfly | wouldn't wget error if there's not ip? | 18:22 |
| Dr_Willis | Gadfly: it may be - and you are looseing the error output. | 18:22 |
| Gadfly | shouldn't it be captured? | 18:22 |
| Marco_ | or, it uses for its sound card snd-hda-intel ? | 18:23 |
| Dr_Willis | No idea. I always launch simple scripts from rc.local Your example is way more complex then anything i see normally done. | 18:23 |
| Pici | Gadfly: Check your wget log | 18:23 |
| genii | d__: Some research into this model shows the default firmware does not have the "assign IP by MAC" type feature. In this case you have basically 2 options... assign one manually on the computer itself and then exclude that specific one from being assigned on the router... or (the route I would go) replace the router firmware with one that has that feature, like dd-wrt or Tomato | 18:23 |

I want to take every .svg under 60k in the multiple folders, and put them in a new folder called "allsvg" but there is also going to be duplicates, like main1.svg might be in it multiple times. so I Want it to append a character on those, like main1-1.svg main1-2.svg, and so on. Any ideas? | 19:00 |
| Bodsda | Pici: ok, and that shows which one is newer and thus which will be installed. Brilliant, thanks Pici | 19:00 |
| trijntje | DreamsofanEagle, In that case I dont know, you should ask again giving the information you just found out | 19:01 |

| shane2peru | devnull_: hmm, that is annoying, I would think downgrading your xorg, would unstabalize things worse? | 19:35 |
| devnull_ | mangr3n, before you do that .... why do you need to do this | 19:35 |
| devnull_ | shane2peru, no it is fine actually | 19:35 |
| devnull_ | the new XORG isnt great at all | 19:35 |
| devnull_ | it isn't worth having on a system at the moment | 19:35 |
| ZoeyMarie | Does anyone know if the keyserver is down? I've been trying to request a key for a software source but it's not going through... | 19:35 |
| mangr3n | cause I made the mistake of manually editing that file to add a user to the group, and I think at the same time the users/groups tool was pointing at the file | 19:35 |
| shane2peru | devnull_: hmm, that is odd, you mean the xorg that comes with 9.04? | 19:35 |
| devnull_ | not to mention the new FGLRX doesn't work with anything but he latest ATI cards | 19:35 |
| devnull_ | shane2peru, yea i am not using the xorg that comes with 9.04 | 19:36 |
| devnull_ | because of the ATI issues | 19:36 |
| Wicked | when is 9.10 supposed to be released? | 19:36 |
| shane2peru | devnull_: they don't work that great with the new ati cards, mine was a disaster | 19:36 |
| devnull_ | and the open source ATI drivers worked great in 8.10 but suck ass in 9.04 to the point i can't use them | 19:36 |
| Utopiah | thanks ActionParsnip and #ubuntu | 19:36 |
| Pici | !9.10 | Wicked | 19:36 |
| ubottu | Wicked: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 29th, 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 | 19:36 |
| devnull_ | shane2peru, yea it is a disaster | 19:36 |
| shane2peru | devnull_: the only fix for me was the proprietary drivers | 19:36 |
| fufu | how do i check if wireshark is installed? | 19:36 |
| shane2peru | devnull_: however my xorg on this box is fine, intel | 19:36 |
| Wicked | thanks Pici :) | 19:36 |
| devnull_ | shane2peru, yea i used the proprietary driver, but to do that i needed to downgrade X | 19:36 |
| mikejet | Does xchat support SSL going to this #ubuntu channel? | 19:37 |
| mangr3n | the other option is to look at the /etc/group file in the live cd, but I'm not sure how to do that, that's an alternative any suggestions? | 19:37 |
| shane2peru | devnull_: I have leaned to hate ati. :) | 19:37 |
| dwatkins | fufu: is it in the menu in applications -> internet? | 19:37 |
| devnull_ | shane2peru, hehe .. i always loved AMD but now that they have fucked ATI up , i am not happy with them | 19:37 |
| devnull_ | i have learned to hate ATI since the start ... now i am hating AMD | 19:37 |

| Zykotic-K9 | I tried asking in #vbox - no answer. I'm running into a problem with VirtualBox 3.0.6's "Disable Mouse Integration" (DMI), on both OpenSolaris & Ubuntu guests (Ubuntu host). Once I select DMI the mouse cursor disappears in the guest OS. It is a USB mouse, if I try grabbing the mouse through VBox's USB interface - mouse pointer disappears and it's difficult to get it back in the Host system. I also tried disabling USB support in the VM - no | 19:38 |
| Zykotic-K9 | change. Any suggestions? | 19:38 |
| shane2peru | devnull_: I installed their 9.9 driver, and it wouldn't install, left me with a bad system, I dug out their old proprietary driver and installed that. | 19:38 |
| nperry | I'm getting some very ugly messages about udev symlinks when I boot, any idea which log i could find this in please? | 19:39 |
| devnull_ | shane2peru, problem is the old FGLRX driver does not work with XORG | 19:39 |
| devnull_ | and the new FGLRX doesn't support like any cards | 19:39 |
| oscurochu | When I go to system->admin->login window, the window apears and then disappears. here is what the terminal spits out: http://pastebin.com/m6546ab58 | 19:39 |
| shane2peru | devnull_: so, could very well be the driver is a mess too | 19:39 |
| shane2peru | devnull_: right | 19:39 |
| ska178 | devnull, I tried to download a different torrent and I'm still having problems trying to download anything with Transmission | 19:40 |
| devnull_ | the drivers are a mess .... but my usb issues started after install of 9.04 and before my downgrade to the previous XORG so i am pretty sure they aren't linked | 19:40 |
| tasslehoff | anyone dual booting os x (snow leopard) and ubuntu? | 19:40 |
| devnull_ | ska178, did you do what the other person said ... move your transmission conf file out of that folder and let it set it up again | 19:40 |
| shane2peru | ska178: is it possible your router or modem or isp is blocking the ports that run torrent stuff? | 19:40 |
| devnull_ | tasslehoff, i wish i was :) | 19:40 |
| ska178 | no, I must've switched windows by the time that happened i'll look throug hchat | 19:41 |
| tasslehoff | devnull_: hehe. don't know how to interpret that statement :) | 19:41 |

| jiohdi3 | movela, there is a program called etunbootin which allows you to put an iso file on a usb stick | 19:46 |
| ActionParsnip | jonah: no, yoy will install grub but then you'l need to configure it to use the config on the other disk (may be possible) | 19:46 |

| Darael | devnull_: very. | 19:59 |

| Zykotic-K9 | ZoeyMarie, sorry I gots nothing?!?! | 20:00 |
| devnull_ | Darael, could be a compiz issue .. i know the FGLRX is buggy though | 20:00 |
| devnull_ | can you use the ATI drivers instead ? | 20:00 |
| Darael | devnull_: Once, syslog reported that compiz.real had segfaulted, but the other times, none of the logs had anything. | 20:00 |
| devnull_ | i gotcha | 20:01 |

| devnull_ | sorry | 20:01 |
| devnull_ | read that wrong | 20:01 |
| ZoeyMarie | Does anyone know why there would be something wrong between puredata and JACK? | 20:01 |
| devnull_ | NVIDIA drivers are good ... maybe a prob with compiz as a whole | 20:01 |
| scatterp | if i install windows xp on a drive as a truecrypt hidden os and then boot winodws copy a linux install to the partition then i reboot after i try to boot things will go wrong because the partition contains some kinda loader for windows so i will be back to windows how do i replace that (from windows) with a lilo grub type thing such that linux boots instead | 20:01 |
| Zykotic-K9 | ZoeyMarie, sorry I really don't, good luck | 20:01 |
| devnull_ | you could try copying your compiz config out of where it is and let it create it again and maybe it will fix something | 20:01 |
| mikejet | I have an opengl app that consistently crashes on nvidia. | 20:01 |
| Darael | devnull_: hmm... maybe | 20:02 |

| percX | mikejet: ubuntu gives you the possibility to install some restricted modules | 20:03 |
| devnull_ | if they also have the same issue there might be something up with compositing | 20:03 |

| vocis | djp, please, type "ps aux | grep cron" like Zykotic-K9 said | 21:11 |
| Zykotic-K9 | shane2peru, when i saw what he was trying i downloaded and tried wine'ing it - it worked so tried the md5 thing | 21:11 |
| trism | ddn: not much help there, but I'm sure someone on the channel can help so ask away | 21:11 |
| vocis | just tell us if there is another line besides one that says "egrep cron" on the end | 21:11 |
| trism | Zykotic-K9: I think he just wasn't running it with wine, and just double clicking the exe file | 21:12 |
| vocis | aw, romeo didn't like it anymore | 21:12 |
| ddn | do somebody know how to make iptables work? | 21:12 |
| vocis | ddn, is it installed? | 21:12 |
| ActionParsnip | !iptables | ddn | 21:12 |
| ubottu | ddn: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist | 21:12 |
| ddn | vocis: how to know? | 21:12 |
| vocis | ddn, as root, type iptables -L | 21:12 |
| shane2peru | ddn: actually you can install gufw now | 21:12 |
| djp | vocis, shows root .... /usr/sbin/cron and djp .... grep cron | 21:12 |
| shane2peru | ddn: it is the gui for ufw | 21:13 |
| vocis | djp, so cron *is* running, sorry, my bad | 21:13 |
| djp | vocis, np | 21:13 |
| ddn | firestarter and ufw can not initialize iptables | 21:13 |
| m1dlg | ctmjr: still no desktop | 21:13 |
| vocis | djp, then, it should work fine. How do you know the cron command did not run? | 21:13 |
| vocis | djp, also, you can look at the contents of /var/log/syslog, for example using less: 'less /var/log/syslog' | 21:13 |
| vocis | djp, go to 22:00 and see if it ran the command | 21:14 |
| ddn | I think is not installed | 21:14 |

| vocis | Zykotic-K9, he can use tee | 21:24 |

| vocis | Zykotic-K9, or sudo su - | 21:24 |
| Flannel | tee is the easiest way | 21:25 |
| ActionParsnip | sd32: f you have enough ram you can set swappiness to about 2 or 3 | 21:25 |
| Zykotic-K9 | djp, as you can see by vocis reply you need to edit the cron command you are using | 21:25 |
| sd32 | ActionParsnip, thanks, i thought that making the partition smaller would decrease access times | 21:25 |

| cellofellow | My sound worked perfectly a few days ago. Now, when using ALSA (via PulseAudio or not) it's nothing but faint static, and only out the right speaker. With OSS it's little better. Nothing out the left, except the occasional burst of sound. Right is at least lucid sound but still the occasional static. Any idea what the problem may be besides some hardware issue? | 21:45 |
| ctmjr | m1dlg: hold will check for you | 21:45 |
| cellofellow | (I can't say precisely when it started doing this. For the last few days I've been using my USB headset almost exclusively for sound and only just noticed how bad this has gotten.) | 21:45 |
| * cellofellow is very good with Linux but when it comes down to sound at the driver level forget it, I'm lost. | 21:46 | |
| m1dlg | ctmjr: I have crunchbang working and it has gparted too, however if there is an installer and a .iso for gparted I'd love the link | 21:46 |

| ctmjr | m1dlg: well here you go then say's it will install on a usb drive http://gparted.sourceforge.net/download.php | 21:47 |
| guntbert | !anyone | SandWarMan | 21:47 |
| cellofellow | m1dlg: there's a Gparted livecd distro, but it doesn't really have anything that other livecd distros that happen to have gparted onboard don't. | 21:47 |
| ubottu | SandWarMan: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 21:47 |
| cellofellow | Oh, forgot to mention my soundcard is an Nvidia MCP51 Intel-HDA soundcard. It's onboard on my laptop motherboard. | 21:48 |
| m1dlg | cellofellow: cool, erm, ok | 21:48 |
| SandWarMan | That's true, ubottu... Ok, here goes: I want to know if there is a way (script, program or whatever) to mail a file instead of printing it through the printing dialog. | 21:49 |
| cellofellow | SandWarMan: fyi, ubottu is a bot. | 21:50 |
| m1dlg | cellofellow: I have an idea i'm toying with and gparted is an ace tool, i wouldn't mind having a bootable 16gb drive (i have one spare) with assorted .iso's on and a menu mooting offering a choice of what to boot. great for rescue | 21:50 |
| SandWarMan | That doesn't mean I shouldn't be polite, though. | 21:50 |

| SandWarMan | That's the idea, cellofellow | 21:51 |

| SandWarMan | I could do that... but I'm sure there must be a way to pass the pdf printing | 21:51 |
| ctmjr | m1dlg: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/download.php say's it has a usb iso | 21:52 |

First plan was dd, but since the discs are different sizes (and the partitions too), I doubt the FS will cope very well with having the last 40GB of the disc gone... Suggestions? | 21:59 |
| purpzey | sebsebseb: I need to use it to access a page that says it is IE only. | 21:59 |
| cellofellow | purpzey: wine-doors (from the wine website and repository) has a script download and install IE6. | 21:59 |
| wwig | it doesn't read the dimension of the empty cd | 21:59 |
| sebsebseb | purpzey: there are other ways to get round that kind of nonsense | 21:59 |

| sebsebseb | purpzey: also it's a good idea to complain to the people who make these so called IE only sites, and tell them to test in different browsers, Firefox, IE, Opera, etc, and to follow the http://www.w3.org web page coding standards | 22:01 |

| User21211 | Will try now | 22:34 |
| Zykotic-K9 | Snerf, are you doing updates on this system? Are you SURE you are using 9.04 - it makes the most sense if you are using an older version of Ubuntu | 22:34 |
| sebsebseb | Impy^: ok sounds like you did something on the Windows CD and it deleted your partitions | 22:34 |
| sebsebseb | Impy^: well testdisk :) probably | 22:34 |
| trism | User21211: or just System/Preferences/Display | 22:34 |
| Impy^ | sebsebseb im on livecd atm it says command not found when i try that | 22:34 |
| Snerf | Zykotic-K9, yes, the system is updates, I can show you a screen shot showing you the version if you want, but it is 9.04 Jaunty | 22:35 |
| sebsebseb | Impy^: and the bot says it's in the universe repo, which you probably need to enable | 22:35 |
| nemesis1911 | yes yes yes I think I GOT MY TV TUNER TO WOEK YESSSSSSSS! | 22:35 |
| server_side | great i have my dual screens working, is there any progs that allow me to addd panels to my second screen? | 22:35 |
| dragon | andrewy: looks like you modified the sudoers file yourself. Did you use the visudo command? | 22:35 |
| Impy^ | sebsebseb can i do that on livecd? | 22:35 |
| sebsebseb | Impy^: system > admiminstration > software sources. yes you can install programs when the Live CD is running. also I have used this program before, but it was in VIsta, when I gained access to partitions I had deleted for Linux and got hold of a bit of data | 22:35 |
| Melancholic | sebsebseb, hello | 22:35 |
| andrewy | dragon: yes, and I haven't edited it for a few months so it should be valid | 22:35 |
| sebsebseb | Impy^: so I have never used the Linux version, but should work like the Windows one | 22:36 |
| nemesis1911 | Zapping TV tuner is the only one that I think works.. wells its scanning for channels .. and it found 47 so far.. | 22:36 |

| Impy^ | sebsebseb okay it's installed and opened up now. Do you mind if i message you in pm? | 22:37 |
| andrewy | dragon: it started a few days ago, maybe because updates were installed. the screensaver took 2 hours to unlock and I just today realized sudo and su were doing the same thing | 22:37 |
| sebsebseb | Impy^: keep it in here for now | 22:37 |
| sebsebseb | Impy^: maybe pm later | 22:37 |

| sebsebseb | Impy^: you do one of the options or something like that, and then you have access to your deleted partitions, and then you can restore data, but if you have no partitions and your only on the live cd hmm | 22:39 |
| dragon | andrewy: you should check the system logs - `tail /var/log/syslog` | 22:39 |
| sebsebseb | Impy^: since once you re boot or switch off, everything you done on the live cd is gone, got an external hard disk to back up to? | 22:40 |
| server_side | how can i add a panel to my second monitor? | 22:40 |
| Zykotic-K9 | Snerf, run "xscreensaver-demo" - say YES to disabling the Gnome Screensaver Daemon - then set the Xscreensaver to Mode = Disable | 22:40 |
| sebsebseb | Melancholic: your using the server version? | 22:40 |
| Snerf | Zykotic-K9 , ok, will try that | 22:40 |
| nemesis1911 | got my tuner working if anyone needs help I know how to do it now | 22:40 |

| ActionParsnip | sebsebseb: Impy^: use foremost to extract the data from the partition to a destination partition, Impy^ you should have a backup if the data is important | 22:42 |
| nemesis1911 | .. you need setup zapping to change the channels and use 'mplaeyr /dev/video1' to play the feed | 22:43 |
| ActionParsnip | neutr0n: well you will need about 20Gb imho | 22:43 |

| sebsebseb | ActionParsnip: the Windows CD deleted all of Impy^ 's partitions by the sounds of it, and they have nothing to back up to, no partitions, no external hard disk | 22:44 |
| neutr0n | yeah i had seen some redhat documentation that after so much use .5 of the physical ram | 22:45 |
| Snerf | Zykotic-K9 , xscreensaver was not installed, thats probably why you had a different settings screen. but now I see the option for disabling. I hope that does the trick, thanks | 22:45 |

| kent__ | whats up guys | 23:16 |
| server_side | i want to learn linux fully any books anyone could reecomend? | 23:17 |
| revenge | Zykotic-K9: and when i hold down backspace it only deletes one character at a time on my keyboard :\ | 23:17 |
| iceroot | server_side: learning by doing | 23:17 |
| Zykotic-K9 | revenge, in Config/Sound for selected Sound Plugin does it say P.E.Op.S. ALSA ? | 23:17 |
| umami | .icq.com | 23:18 |
| revenge | Zykotic-K9: nope, it says P.E.Op.S. OSS Audio Driver 1.9 | 23:19 |
| Zykotic-K9 | revenge, epsxe won't work if you have PulseAudio -- common problem, check google -- I'm running my emulators on my HTPC box which runs MythBuntu and thus doesn't have Pulse | 23:20 |
| Zykotic-K9 | revenge, the sound won't work i mean - emulator runs fine | 23:20 |
| === jiohdi3 is now known as jiohdi | ||
| revenge | Zykotic-K9: Yes emulator runs fine | 23:21 |
| revenge | Zykotic-K9: just no sound | 23:21 |
| theunixgeek | Are there any major compatibility issues with Ubuntu on an Eee PC? | 23:21 |
| revenge | Zykotic-K9: how can i get alsa sound back? | 23:21 |
| shane2peru | any sed guys in here that know how to search for something at the beginning of a line? there should be a regex for a new line or something | 23:21 |
| pigflu_ | Anyone seen this before ? "The system cannot create any sessions at this time." | 23:22 |
| Flannel | ^ anchors to the beginning of a line | 23:22 |
| Zykotic-K9 | revenge, disabling Pulse is NOT a great idea unfortunately, but can be done | 23:22 |
| pigflu_ | Just when things were working. | 23:22 |
| shane2peru | Flannel: ok, that is what I thought, so, sed -e 's/^searchstring/replace/g' -i file | 23:22 |
| revenge | Zykotic-K9: well i think i just have to download a new sound plugin? | 23:23 |
| mun | hi | 23:23 |
| DasEi | hm, when I minimize my apps such as firefox, I cant find them no more back, as they visually dissapear thouugh still run on the background, a hint ? | 23:23 |
| Zykotic-K9 | revenge, i'd do some research into epsxe with ubuntu and sound -- I doubt a sound plugin is gonna help though | 23:23 |
| mun | after upgrading from hardy to intrepid, i keep getting error saying "dpkg: error processing libghc6-glade-dev (--configure): dependency problems - leaving unconfigured" etc. for many others, incl. hplip, libghc6-cairo-dev, libghc6.glib-dev, etc. does anyone know how to fix it? | 23:24 |
| revenge | Zykotic-K9: Kay, and one last thing, why the hell does my backspace button not delete when i hold it down, i have to press it one at at time | 23:24 |
| steven_ | Silly question, but a CLI is the same thing as the shell right? | 23:25 |
| DasEi | steven : yes | 23:25 |
| Zykotic-K9 | revenge, don't know why your keyboard wouldn't repeat??? perhaps someone else know? | 23:25 |
| steven_ | If he is having a keyboard repeating problem, I had to wait for 9.04 for my keyboard to work | 23:26 |
| ewp | revenge, hardware problem? don't spill liquids on your computer devices ^_^ | 23:26 |
| revenge | lol i didnt | 23:26 |
| mroc | hi, how do i mount an encrypted partition from the command line? | 23:26 |
| revenge | i fixed it | 23:26 |
| revenge | weird | 23:26 |
| === hey` is now known as grumete | ||
| ewp | mroc, i believe it's something like: mount -t <type> -o loop,encryption /path/to/directory | 23:28 |
| sacul | did some googling and even asked in my loco channel. having issues with getting my recording settings to "stick" when I close volume control. All sources revert back to disabled and I need "Capture" and "Digital" to remain enabled. Any suggestions? | 23:29 |
| sacul | this is on jaunty for anyone interested | 23:29 |
| motta | ola | 23:30 |
| mroc | ewp: i'm not entirely sure what to fill in for some of the details though. the encryption was set up by the ubuntu installer, and i do have the passphrase, i just don't know how to mount from command line | 23:30 |
| sacul | screenie for what I need to stick if it will help http://tinyurl.com/ng9rqq | 23:31 |
| steven_ | I realize this is a Ubuntu channel, but what is a good Linux channel for general Linux questions? | 23:31 |
| bpgoldsb | keyserver.ubuntu.com down for anyone else? | 23:31 |
| n8tuser | steven_-> if your question is generic enuff, someone may be able to answer your question here | 23:32 |
| ewp | mroc, run something like: mount -t <vfat/ntfs-3g/ext3/reiserfs> -o loop,encryption /dev/<sda#/hda#> <path-to-folder> | 23:32 |
| ewp | depends on what actual device this is and what type of filesystem and where your mount folder is according to that command layout | 23:33 |
| jrib | steven_: #linux ? | 23:33 |
| mroc | ewp: ok. is "encryption" just like that, or am i supposed to specify a type or anything? | 23:33 |
| === grumete is now known as grumete|brb | ||
| ewp | mroc, not quite sure, try googling 'linux howto mount encrypted devices' | 23:34 |
| mroc | ewp: right, well, i did try that first, but there seems to be a lot of detail on different types of encryption and no clear method for how to simply do this. | 23:35 |
| ewp | mroc, well do you know your type of encryption? | 23:35 |
| mroc | ewp: no. it was set as an option during install to encrypt the home partition, but i don't know the details. | 23:36 |
| benc | is upstart supported in intrepid? | 23:36 |
| dlumpkin | what is upstart? | 23:36 |
| benc | something that should replace init scripts | 23:36 |
| benc | replace sysv init system | 23:36 |
| benc | I'm trying to understand how to write an init script | 23:37 |
| dlumpkin | oh yeah, I think its been around for a while, but they arent interchangeable with initd scripts | 23:37 |
| djp | how do i best view log files from the command line? | 23:37 |
| dlumpkin | djp, try tail to view the last fiew lines | 23:37 |
| djp | dlumpkin, thanks | 23:38 |
| benc | dlumpkin: can you recommend a tutorial or a book to understand how to write init script for a daemon? | 23:38 |
| ewp | mroc, this archive may help you out better. read this: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1090669.html | 23:39 |
| WonderfunkJones | any help with trying to find a wired ethernet connection? Using Gnome Network Manager (wicp wasn't working well) | 23:39 |
| DasEi | hypno: no the apps used to be found in my lower panel, I managed to get a windowchooser back now, but thats still not the same as default | 23:39 |
| dlumpkin | WonderfunkJones, have you tried ifconfig from the terminal? | 23:39 |
| DasEi | !upstart | dlumpkin | 23:40 |
| ubottu | dlumpkin: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ | 23:40 |
| WonderfunkJones | dlumpkin: Yes but I don't know what the ethernet card's name is, it is onboard. | 23:40 |
| === unix3 is now known as epaphus | ||
| dlumpkin | WonderfunkJones, the onboard ethernet is usually under eth0 | 23:40 |
| WonderfunkJones | dlumpkin: device not found | 23:41 |
| dlumpkin | wonderfunkjones: have you tried ifconfig -a | 23:42 |
| sacul | my selected sources in gnome-volume-control for recording are being reverted to disabled when I close volume control. any ideas? | 23:42 |
| WonderfunkJones | dlumpkin: Yes I have three entries, lo, pan0, and wlan 0 | 23:42 |
| legend2440 | WonderfunkJones: in terminal try lspci | grep -i ethernet | 23:42 |
| dlumpkin | wonderfunkjones: what architecture are you running on? | 23:43 |
| WonderfunkJones | legend2440: that gives me nothing | 23:43 |
| WonderfunkJones | dlumpkin: the OS? 9.04 | 23:43 |
| dlumpkin | wonderfunkjones: x86? | 23:43 |
| WonderfunkJones | yes | 23:43 |
| Rioting_Pacifist | whats the best search term to describe a CLI-gui, e.g i want to have a constantly running gui in the console not just prompt,command,prompt? | 23:44 |
| dlumpkin | wonderfunkjones: hmm, sounds ugly, have you checked that your network card is supported | 23:44 |
| mroc | ewp: that was helpful. there was a line in there that says, use dm-crypt to mount the encrypted partition. this is what i'm looking for help with...how to do this by command line. | 23:44 |
| jrib | Rioting_Pacifist: xpra ? | 23:44 |
| WonderfunkJones | dlumpkin: I would hope so, I think it's just a standard broadcom | 23:45 |
| jrib | Rioting_Pacifist: or "screen" (your question is confusing) | 23:45 |
| n8tuser | WonderfunkJones-> if you have it on board, perhaps the driver for it was not loaded, so try to reboot and see if it will get loaded, or reload it with modprobe | 23:45 |
| jrib | !screen > Rioting_Pacifist | 23:45 |
| ubottu | Rioting_Pacifist, please see my private message | 23:45 |
| dlumpkin | wonderfunkjones: yep, most broadcoms are supported | 23:45 |
| dlumpkin | n8tuser: good call with the modprobe | 23:45 |
| WonderfunkJones | n8tuser: what would the command be with modprobe? Apologies, I'm a Linux newbit | 23:45 |
| WonderfunkJones | *e | 23:45 |
| n8tuser | WonderfunkJones-> modprobe modulename ; more details can be found by man modprobe | 23:46 |
| WonderfunkJones | n8tuser: know of a website with a list of basic linux commands? | 23:47 |
| Rioting_Pacifist | nah im writing a program and want to have a CLI interface (not just prompt->response though) something like sys-rc-conf(uses ncurses)/nano, instead of cat/ping | 23:47 |
| chronic1 | has there been any chatter about the current firefox (3.5) causing computers to reboot? | 23:47 |
| dlumpkin | wonderfunkjones: the first step is to figure out what module you are looking for, a common broadcom module is tg3, but you may have to google your specific chipset | 23:47 |
| jrib | Rioting_Pacifist: so use ncurses or some higher-level library built on top of it? | 23:48 |
| Rioting_Pacifist | I was wondering if there was anything other than ncurses, is that the best search term to use then? | 23:49 |
| prince_jammys | ''curses'' :) | 23:49 |
| jrib | Rioting_Pacifist: what language are you programming in? | 23:49 |
| n8tuser | WonderfunkJones-> not off hand, i just google for it, and hit the 1st one or two or three | 23:49 |
| === Sememmon_ is now known as Sememmon | ||
| Rioting_Pacifist | jrib: erm probably python but might be bash/perl if its easier to do that sort of app using them | 23:51 |

| sanchiro | how can I find the log file which starts upon bootup? I saw a few error messages but it scrolled by too fast to catch.. | 23:51 |
| WonderfunkJones | It's wonderfully odd, Ubuntu works with everything out of the box on my laptop, and I'm still struggling on my desktop to get audio and network working :S | 23:51 |
| LogicFan | I have Ubuntu 9.04 and Vista in a dual boot config, however, I have not touched my Vista partition in quite sometime and I'm wonder if I can non-destructively eliminate the Vista partition and add the extra free hdd space to my primary Ubuntu partition? Also, I would need to remove the Vista entry from the boot menu | 23:51 |
| shawn_ | What do I use to install a .run file | 23:52 |
| jrib | shawn_: what are you trying to install exactly? | 23:53 |
| shawn_ | A graphics driver | 23:53 |
| shawn_ | From the nvidia site | 23:53 |
| jrib | !nvidia | shawn_ | 23:53 |
| ubottu | shawn_: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 23:53 |
| WonderfunkJones | LogicFan: I think you can use gparted for that, do you have it? | 23:53 |
| jrib | shawn_: use the repositories instead | 23:53 |
| Rioting_Pacifist | LogicFan: what do you mean by non distructively? removing the vista partition will destroy vista, if your not using lvm you will need to use a liveCD to add the space to a ubuntu partition though | 23:53 |
| shawn_ | Oh really? | 23:53 |
| epaphus | Hello, where does ubuntu store dhcp release info? | 23:53 |
| LogicFan | WonderfunkJones, Yes, I have gparted installed. | 23:53 |
| LogicFan | Rioting_Pacifist, i mean, i don't want to wipe my whole hdd. I just want to format the Vista partition and add the remaining space to my Ubuntu partition | 23:54 |
| n8tuser | epaphus-> what? a release? | 23:54 |
| epaphus | dhcp releases | 23:54 |
| epaphus | sorry | 23:54 |
| n8tuser | epaphus-> leases you meant? | 23:54 |
| n8tuser | look under /var/lib/dhcp3 | 23:55 |
| Haegin | hi, I managed to break my grub (2) install and don't have a vmlinuz file anymore. I booted using one on a USB stick but understandably it broke during boot. How might I be able to regenerate this from inside a busy box shell early in the boot process? | 23:55 |
| Rioting_Pacifist | LogicFan: unless you are using lvm, you should be able to see that with gparted, you will need to use an liveCD to do it safely but you should be fine. | 23:56 |
| mroc | i'm trying to access an encrypted partition from a live cd...i really need help on how to mount it. | 23:56 |
| LogicFan | Rioting_Pacifist, no, i'm not using lvm | 23:56 |
| _kleski | anyone here using apache gallery? | 23:56 |
| n8tuser | mroc-> you need the encryption module loaded and then you can mount it per what was described to you earlier | 23:57 |
| Rioting_Pacifist | well then you need to use a liveCD to change the partitions safely, but from a liveCD you will be able to add the space to your ubuntu install without loosing anything on your ubuntu install using gprated | 23:57 |
| d | howdy | 23:57 |
| Rioting_Pacifist | a default ubuntu install under many settings will be using an lvm volume though which makes averything easier as you can do it live | 23:58 |

| DD | Hi, I need to wipe ubuntu how do I do that. | 23:59 |
| kngspook | What's the difference between a system group and a normal group? | 23:59 |
| Rioting_Pacifist | LogicFan: easiest way to find out if your using lvm or not is "sudo lvs" | 23:59 |
| mroc | n8tuser: so modprobe ... what module? | 23:59 |
