| erUSUL | salmiak: :1 i can not help further sorry | 00:00 |
| Gnea | trakcyia: it depends on the situation. | 00:00 |
| yva | hi, have you any ideas why empathy will replace pidgin (as default messenger) in 9.10? | 00:00 |
| nanotube | trakcyia: i bet the wikipedia entry on trolling is pretty informative ;) | 00:00 |
| Pici | yva : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Karmic/9.10 support/discussion. | 00:01 |
| trakcyia | nanotube, i admit it, i'm trolling about the trolling topic, ill get back to work | 00:01 |
| Blankman | What is the SIMPLEST way to format a drive? I want to wipe 100% of the usable drive. I don't need it to be super secure, I just want to wipe and start over. | 00:01 |
| jrib | erUSUL, salmiak: I saw someone with that error a couple of days ago. Turns out there are some packages that give ffmpeg more functionality (whose names I do not recall) | 00:01 |
| Pici | !offtopic | 00:01 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 00:01 |
| salmiak | erUSUL: yeah np thax anyway | 00:01 |
| nanotube | yva: yes, because of the 'not invented here' syndrome. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Not_Invented_Here | 00:01 |
| Blankman | I want to load up ubuntu with xfce... if that matters | 00:01 |
| erUSUL | jrib: now that you mention it salmiak medibuntu's ffmpeg is more capable. you know all that patents stuff. | 00:01 |
| erUSUL | !medibuntu | 00:02 |
| ubottu | medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 00:02 |
| dragon | what's the command to launch the default browser in gnome? | 00:02 |
| losher | erUSUL: ok, according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3GP, 3GP file format stores video streams as MPEG-4 Part 2 or H.263 or MPEG-4 Part 10 (AVC/H.264), so I'm wondering if avidemux will convert it... | 00:02 |
| jrib | erUSUL: it was some lib, but that's also a good suggestion to try first | 00:02 |
| Blankman | Anyone use dban? I need to wipe my drive so I can install ubuntu | 00:02 |
| jrib | dragon: gnome-open URL works | 00:02 |
| nicklas_ | i am sorry, that wasnt meant as an offense, just a joke, didnt know people would get so angry, wont do it again | 00:02 |
| nanotube | Blankman: just use gparted, and reformat the partition.... | 00:02 |
| nanotube | Blankman: or if you're into cli, fdisk and mkfs :) | 00:03 |
| dragon | jrib: thanks. What if I don't have a URL and only want to launch the browser, with possibly the default home page? | 00:03 |
| jrib | erUSUL, salmiak: I think it was libavutil-unstripped-49 | 00:03 |
| ncfi1013 | do i go to my router to change the port or to kopete to change the port cuz i cant find where to change the port in kopete? | 00:03 |
| Blankman | nanotube, I am new to linux, but have enjoyed ubuntu, but I am still a newbie. I am having an issue with gparted. | 00:03 |
| jrib | dragon: does www-browser do what you want? | 00:04 |
| jdn929 | hi | 00:04 |
| sebsebseb | Blankman: What's the issue? | 00:04 |
| sebsebseb | !hi | jdn929 | 00:04 |

| jdn929 | i know how to install in jrib | 00:05 |
| jrib | jdn929: take a look at the last sentence | 00:05 |
| jdn929 | jrib I have been in there for a while and no one is helping me | 00:05 |
| sebsebseb | Blankman: What's the matter with Gparted? | 00:05 |
| jrib | salmiak: there are some other "unstripped" packages like libavcodec-unstripped-52 that you might try | 00:05 |
| Blankman | it says it can't mount a drive? not sure what that is about. | 00:05 |
| Blankman | When I try to apply the change it gives me an error and sys it count mount a drive. | 00:06 |
| jrib | jdn929: you have to be patient, not all channels are as active as this one. That channel is more likely to be able to help with your question though (you're still free to wait here too) | 00:06 |
| dragon | Flannel: that's what I was looking for, thanks. | 00:06 |
| sebsebseb | Blankman: When your on the Live CD? | 00:06 |
| erUSUL | jrib: salmiak in medibuntu there is only mencoder; sorry for the noise | 00:06 |
| Blankman | yes | 00:06 |
| peery | hey guys, does anyone know how to solve the problem of ubuntu hanging on NIS? Once I log in, everything is fine but it causes problems during start-up. I've found evidence of this problem online but no solutions. Any ideas? | 00:07 |
| dragon | jrib: www-browser seemed to launch w3m; x-www-browser worked. | 00:07 |
| sebsebseb | Blankman: Ok so there are currently partitions on it? | 00:07 |
| Blankman | yes | 00:07 |
| jrib | argh | 00:07 |
| === hey` is now known as grumete | ||
| sebsebseb | Blankman: Windows partitions or? | 00:07 |
| Blankman | yes I have partition on it. | 00:07 |
| Blankman | one is a windows, one is a linux swap and one is an linux partition. | 00:08 |
| sebsebseb | Blankman: and you want to get rid of all of these partitions? | 00:08 |
| lupita | hi, I want my Gdesklet to be always on top, how to I do this? I'm using Xubuntu | 00:08 |
| Blankman | yes, i want to wipe 100% of the drive. I don't need to over write the drive 5 times or anything, I just want to start fresh. with 100% of the drive. | 00:09 |
| Blankman | sebsebseb: yes, i want to wipe 100% of the drive. I don't need to over write the drive 5 times or anything, I just want to start fresh. with 100% of the drive. | 00:10 |
| sebsebseb | Blankman: maybe booting up the Live CD again will help | 00:10 |
| sebsebseb | Blankman: also there's a Gparted Live CD | 00:10 |
| sebsebseb | !gparted | Blankman | 00:10 |

| IpSe_DiXiT | hi, if i restart my windows manager the system gets stuck, whatz going on? how can i find out? thanks | 00:10 |
| timbojimbo | hey I am trying to tweak my ubuntu to run faster. does any one know a good, recent, reference I could use to achieve my goal of "Fastest Old Computer!" | 00:11 |
| Blankman | thanks sebsebseb | 00:11 |
| sebsebseb | Blankman: np | 00:11 |
| jrib | timbojimbo: use a lightweight window manager! | 00:11 |
| didymous | hello folks, is there a tutorial to install exim and configure it for use with evolution on ubuntu to send mail without using an external server? i will be here waiting on the eventuality of an answer, thank you | 00:11 |
| timbojimbo | jrib: do you have a url you can point me in the direction? or what window manager would you suggest? | 00:12 |
| stsm | how do i tell denyhosts to use my gmail account to send me reports? | 00:13 |
| stsm | i wasted the intire evening on this | 00:13 |
| stsm | didnt achieve anything | 00:13 |
| alokito | timbojimbo: try dsl | 00:13 |
| stsm | i would appreciate some help | 00:13 |
| stsm | pretty frustrated | 00:13 |
| nanotube | didymous: if you google "exim evolution" you'll probably come up with whatever is out there... | 00:13 |
| didymous | nanotube: will try | 00:13 |
| sebsebseb | Blankman: good luck | 00:13 |
| timbojimbo | alokito: I actually have dsl on a usb stick that I use at school and work... | 00:14 |
| jrib | timbojimbo: well you should check out tiling window managers like xmonad, awesome, and dwm. But if you don't like tiling, there are other lightweight window managers (fluxbox, openbox, etc...). Really, if you want fast, then use light software (lots of terminal stuff, etc.) | 00:14 |
| stsm | mysql replicqtion, no problem, ssh reverse port forwarding, no problem... setting up denyhosts to mail trough gmail: HUUUUUGE problem | 00:14 |
| Blankman | Any opinion on how big I should make my linux swap file? | 00:14 |
| sebsebseb | Blankman: How much RAM do you have? | 00:14 |
| alokito | timbojimbo: i think its the fastest linux distro | 00:14 |
| Blankman | 2gig | 00:14 |
| sebsebseb | Blankman: 4GB SWAP I think then | 00:15 |
| stsm | 1.5xamount of RAM is mostly chosen | 00:15 |
| jrib | !swap | Blankman | 00:15 |
| ubottu | Blankman: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info | 00:15 |
| stsm | 1.5x amount of RAM | 00:15 |
| jrib | Blankman: I'll throw in a third suggestion... = amount of RAM | 00:15 |
| nhasian | Blankman, I have 2 gig ram, and 2 gig swap file and my laptop runs great | 00:15 |
| stsm | yeah | 00:15 |
| stsm | if you only have 2GB i would take 2GB too | 00:15 |
| stsm | for swap | 00:15 |
| alokito | timbojimbo: you can use xubuntu in old computers | 00:15 |
| stsm | 1GB is nothing these days anyway | 00:15 |
| stsm | semi-old | 00:16 |
| sebsebseb | Blankman: some say SWAP is only really needed for hibernation these days, as long as got like 1GB or more RAM, others say still needed even with 4GB RAM, basicalley | 00:16 |
| alokito | i use in mine, runs fast enough to run multiple apps at the same time | 00:16 |
| timbojimbo | alokito: I heard arch linux is good too. but I'm not looking to switch distro's. although I might in the next couple of months... | 00:17 |
| sebsebseb | timbojimbo: Arch Linux is not that easy to set up properly | 00:17 |
| EricTheHax | is it better to run wine or a xp virtualbox | 00:17 |
| sebsebseb | EricTheHax: depends what Windows programs you want to run, and those are? | 00:17 |
| EricTheHax | games | 00:17 |
| alokito | timbojimbo: have u tried xubuntu yet? I think you'll be satisfied with it | 00:17 |
| EricTheHax | gmod hl2 etc | 00:17 |
| sebsebseb | EricTheHax: 3D Games ??? | 00:18 |
| Biovore | hl2 works decent under wine | 00:18 |
| EricTheHax | ok | 00:18 |
| Biovore | not great though.. | 00:18 |
| stsm | pfff | 00:18 |
| stsm | does nobody use denyhosts or something? | 00:18 |
| timbojimbo | fair enough... | 00:18 |
| EricTheHax | ok hl2: wine vs vbox | 00:18 |
| Biovore | stsm: /etc/hosts.deny ? | 00:18 |
| rawrs | hello | 00:18 |
| EricTheHax | hello rawrs | 00:19 |
| alokito | EricTheHax: try crossover and playonlinux | 00:19 |
| sebsebseb | EricTheHax: Virtualbox 3.0+ has some Directx8 support or whatever, and so might be good for some 3D games, depending on hardware or whatever, you can get proper info about this by asking in #vbox | 00:19 |
| sebsebseb | EricTheHax: above I meant Direct3D | 00:19 |
| alokito | installing games with wine is pretty hard | 00:19 |
| jrib | alokito: not really, just follow appdb | 00:19 |
| stsm | Biovore, http://denyhosts.sourceforge.net/ | 00:19 |
| EricTheHax | crossover makes steam invisible for me | 00:19 |
| EricTheHax | i dunno if anyone else has better luck but i got teh suxxors outta crossover | 00:20 |
| timbojimbo | alokito: I have and I actually installed it on an older computer than mine. my computer runs fast already I just want to boost it a little more. I'm mostly trying to make it faster at opening applications like Amarok, Open Office, Mail, Etc... | 00:20 |
| linuxgeek25 | crossover and cedega are craps | 00:20 |
| stsm | it cant do SSL so it needs a MTA etc | 00:20 |
| jdn929 | I am trying to make a graph in open office and I am completely stuck. can someone please help me and walk me through it? | 00:20 |
| rawrs | is there a way to apply a custom ip and dns automatically when connecting to a wifi network? | 00:20 |
| alokito | playonlinux is just a gui frontend of wine | 00:20 |
| linuxgeek25 | wine or nothing !!! | 00:20 |
| stsm | and then the MTA is also impossible to get to work of course | 00:20 |
| stsm | my port 25 is not even open | 00:20 |
| stsm | its just all a gigantic mess | 00:20 |
| alokito | timbojimbo: amarok and openoffice both use lot of memory | 00:20 |
| linuxgeek25 | playonlinux may cause incompatibilities ... | 00:21 |
| alokito | use lightweight apps instead, like banshee and abiword | 00:21 |
| sebsebseb | EricTheHax: Wine and Crossover and Cedega even, will all need to be configured to get some Windows games working rather well. By the way there are some pretty good native Linux games as well, you just got to know where to get them from and that. | 00:21 |
| stsm | they should really simpligy kmailing from the CLI a WHOLE LOT | 00:21 |
| EricTheHax | wine: it's got antioxidants to keep ur computer runnin windows apps smoothly | 00:21 |
| stsm | simplify | 00:21 |
| attickid | Hello, I need help with my wireless connection.I installed ubuntu 9.04 and Im unable to connect neither using the netwrok manager nor using iwconfig. | 00:21 |
| EricTheHax | sebsebseb: my friend only plays gmod | 00:21 |
| Jordan_U | rawrs: Yes, System > Preferences > Networking, just set up a profile for that network with static ip and dns | 00:21 |
| sebsebseb | attickid: ok wireless is not my area, but this bot link might be helpful for you | 00:22 |
| sebsebseb | !wireless | attickid | 00:22 |
| ubottu | attickid: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 00:22 |
| rawrs | is that the only way/ | 00:22 |
| EricTheHax | sebsebsebsebsebsebsebsebsebseb | 00:22 |
| attickid | ok Thank you | 00:22 |
| timbojimbo | alokito: I don't really like banshee but I will check out abiword | 00:22 |
| stsm | attickid, does iwconfig show your interface though? | 00:22 |
| nanotube | rawrs: try using wicd instead of network-manager. it supports static ip/dns (http://wicd.net) | 00:22 |
| alokito | timbojimbo: what about rhythmbox? its my 2nd favorite after amarok | 00:23 |
| Jordan_U | rawrs: No, but it's the only way to do it with network-manager, what's wrong with "that way" ? | 00:23 |
| sebsebseb | EricTheHax: yes? | 00:23 |
| losher | EricTheHax: that's some stutter you've got there... | 00:23 |
| EricTheHax | screw it is there an up-to-date steam friends plugin for pidgin? | 00:23 |
| sebsebseb | EricTheHax: don't think so | 00:23 |
| EricTheHax | dammit | 00:23 |
| attickid | stsm: yes, I even did: "sudo iwlist wlan0 scan" and I got the ESSID and other data about the wlan I want to connect to | 00:24 |
| ncfi1013 | what would the application name be for a port on a router for kopete be: telnet, http, https, ftp, dns, smtp, pop3, h.323, remote desktop, pptp, l2tp, or wake-on-lan? | 00:24 |
| MsG | does it matter that the drive of ubuntu isn't physically the first hard drive? | 00:24 |
| sebsebseb | EricTheHax: might be though, I don't use steam by the way, so not entirely sure what you mean by a steam friends plugin, I assume for a contact list | 00:24 |
| MsG | it is sdc but I want it to have sda | 00:24 |
| Jordan_U | MsG: It shouldn't matter | 00:24 |
| stsm | attickid, i must go but it might be usefull to paste the command (CENSOR YOUR KEY though) | 00:24 |
| alokito | MsG: no it doesn't matter if you configured your bootloader correctly | 00:25 |
| EricTheHax | to use steam chat through pidgin. there used to be one but valve didnt like that so they changed their shit | 00:25 |
| jdn929 | I am trying to make a graph in open office and I am completely stuck. can someone please help me and walk me through it? | 00:25 |
| MsG | if I want it really to be sda without a device map I should change my sata cable order? | 00:25 |
| Blankman | Dose ubuntu offer a version that runs out of ram and does not mount hard drives? | 00:25 |
| EricTheHax | livecd | 00:25 |
| MsG | live cd? | 00:25 |
| alokito | MsG: nope change hard disk priority from bios | 00:26 |
| aliendude5300 | Hi, I have a problem with my speakers and I was wondering if anyone could help me... | 00:26 |
| sebsebseb | EricTheHax: Steam is closed source isn't it? if so well there you go, the vender decides to change something major, and as a user/proggrammer there isn't really anything you can do about it | 00:26 |
| timbojimbo | alokito: I honestly can't stand rhythmbox. that program drives me nuts. I almost always have problems with pulseaudio or oss when I use it. I also I have a really big collection which rhythmbox never seems to get all of it. It usually only loads a half one time then the other half another. then none at all... | 00:26 |
| stsm | attickid, and errors too of course | 00:26 |
| attickid | stsm: iwconfig wlan0 essid hourglass key s:XXXXXXXXX " . then I did "sudo dhclient wlan0" | 00:26 |
| aliendude5300 | I have 5.1 Surround sound hooked up to my PC. | 00:26 |
| Jordan_U | MsG: Why do you want it to be sda? Depending on your reason you might want to look into uuids or labels instead. | 00:26 |
| MsG | but my hdd priority in bios is already in the right order. But it still initializes the ubuntu hdd as the second | 00:26 |
| jwormy | is there a way I can see the drivers used for my network card? | 00:26 |
| alokito | timbojimbo: o, okay :| | 00:26 |
| aliendude5300 | My front speakers work fine but my rear speakers are VERY quiet. | 00:26 |
| attickid | stsm: Im pretty sure of the essid and key, cause Ive just got connected in my windows machine. | 00:26 |
| stsm | attickid, and dhclient output? | 00:26 |
| Jordan_U | jwormy: lshw -c network | 00:26 |
| aliendude5300 | How can I adjust the volume for just the rear speakers | 00:26 |
| ncfi1013 | what would the application name be for a port on a router for kopete be: telnet, http, https, ftp, dns, smtp, pop3, h.323, remote desktop, pptp, l2tp, or wake-on-lan? | 00:26 |
| Maritim | aliendude5300: check how many channels alsamixer is using | 00:27 |
| timbojimbo | alokito: thanks for the suggestions though! | 00:27 |
| scyx | does anyone have any information on the "ubuntu moblin remix"? just heard of it and it definitely sounds interesting =o | 00:27 |
| === sunshinepants1 is now known as sunshinepants | ||
| MsG | Because I have some kind of autistic perfectionistic bullcrap inside me that tells me to be the first drive the first name :) | 00:27 |
| losher | MsG: you may have to physically reorder the disks to get them labelled differently... | 00:27 |
| Blankman | I can use puppy linux, but it would be nice if there was an ubuntu that runs out of ram. | 00:27 |
| aliendude5300 | I'm using pulseaudio... the speakers are ON, just QUIET. | 00:27 |
| alokito | aliendude5300: are u using ubuntu or kubuntu? | 00:27 |
| aliendude5300 | Ubuntu. | 00:27 |
| MsG | when I do it now, my install will be dead I guess? | 00:27 |
| Maritim | aliendude5300: sounds like pulseaudio is not set to use 4 channels. | 00:27 |
| jwormy | Jordan_U: perfect, thanks | 00:27 |
| alokito | aliendude5300: check your mixer settings | 00:27 |
| Jordan_U | jwormy: np | 00:27 |
| aliendude5300 | No, all the channels are outputting sound... they are just quiet... the profile is set to 5.1 | 00:28 |
| attickid | stsm: http://www.copypastecode.com/11358/ | 00:28 |
| timbojimbo | Blankman: you know you can run a live disk right? | 00:28 |
| aliendude5300 | I dont know where I can adjust channel volumes individually | 00:28 |
| alokito | aliendude5300: im in kubuntu now so can't say how to configure in gnome | 00:28 |
| Blankman | timbojimbo: yep, but that does not run 100% out of ram. if there is a hard drive it mounts. | 00:28 |
| stsm | attickid, its probably a problem with your key, you can tell it hat kind of key it is | 00:28 |
| sebsebseb | Blankman: if you got a big enough USB stick you can also run a persistent install from that | 00:28 |
| aliendude5300 | If I turn up the volume, the rear sound fine but the front are REALLY loud :( | 00:28 |
| Jordan_U | Blankman: knoppix can use toram | 00:28 |
| stsm | attickid, how many bit, and if its hex, etc | 00:28 |
| MsG | I hope Ubuntu will soon come up with some visual sudo unlock inside the program itself. Like the default network applet has | 00:28 |
| aliendude5300 | Dunno where the option is. | 00:28 |
| aliendude5300 | I know how to do it in Windows :/ | 00:29 |
| stsm | i dunno the details off the top of my hat but thats most likely the problem since your hardware works fine | 00:29 |
| losher | that 'autistic perfectionistic bullcrap' is thought to be genetic in origin, and makes people good at detail-oriented work that others can't do... | 00:29 |
| alokito | aliendude5300: right click your sound icon in the notification area | 00:29 |
| Blankman | Jordan_U: what is knoppix and what is toram | 00:29 |
| resno1 | hello guys, i am looking for help in getting my sound card working. | 00:29 |
| EricTheHax | is the compiz frame limiter vsync? if not how do i make compiz use vsync | 00:29 |
| MsG | :P yeah but I hate it sometimes, because I want everything in perfect order | 00:29 |
| attickid | stsm: 128 bit wep. | 00:29 |
| aliendude5300 | alokito: I'm in the sound preferences box right now. The option isn't there. | 00:29 |
| MsG | which isnt always possible | 00:29 |
| sebsebseb | losher: maybe you should have used auto complete for that message, so they don't miss it | 00:29 |
| resno1 | when i got to sound preferences, and do a test, i can get sound but it wont play otherwise | 00:29 |
| alokito | then search the menus, u should find some menu to add channels in the mixer window | 00:29 |
| MsG | I have the idea that my bios order is different from the ubuntu initialisation order :S | 00:29 |
| MsG | i had heard of that difference before | 00:30 |
| alokito | add front, rear and other channels as necessary | 00:30 |
| stsm | attickid, try removing s: , but im just guessing now | 00:30 |
| aliendude5300 | Where would the mixer be? I'm on 9.10 Alpha 6 if it makes a difference... | 00:30 |
| Jordan_U | Blankman: Knoppix is a LiveCD distribution ( actually the origional LiveCD ) and has an option "toram" that you enter at boot to load the contents of the CD into ram and run from that so that you can eject the CD | 00:30 |

| DryGrain | I have just installed Ubuntu on a separate partition from XP Home on my desktop. How do I get to the files on my Windows partition from Ubuntu, and how to I get to a MS-DOS prompt from Ubuntu? | 00:38 |
| losher | MsG: depends on the labelling scheme used in /boot/grub/menu.lst and /etc/fstab. It it uses uuids, then it should still 'just' work... | 00:38 |
| EricTheHax | ok rephrase: I have an application that, in windows, requires speech sdk. will it work in wine? | 00:38 |
| alokito | uwall-e: u can manually add the option in ubuntu's grub | 00:38 |
| uwall-e | iv used grub alot but never had to really manually add an OS from skratch like this ! | 00:38 |
| Pici | EricTheHax: Best to ask in Wine's official support channel, #winehq | 00:38 |

| MsG | I want to reorder them because I hate it that my first drive isnt really the first drive | 00:38 |
| uwall-e | ? | 00:38 |
| Dominik2 | DryGrain I don't think you can get a prompt, and I assume your file system is NTSF which will cause torouble, but you should be able to mount it | 00:38 |
| Jordan_U | uwall-e: What version of debian ( stable, testing, unstable)? | 00:38 |
| MsG | same idea in windows. When I go to disk manage thingy in windows, I see my data drive above my OS drive | 00:38 |
| uwall-e | i think 5 | 00:39 |
| MsG | how annoying is that | 00:39 |
| DryGrain | How do i mount my windows partition? | 00:39 |
| DryGrain | Couldnt I get an MSDOS prompt with WINE? | 00:39 |

| uwall-e | when i installed debian it wanted to install grub 2 but then failed i think! | 00:41 |
| revenge | alokito, can you tell me how to properly uninstall all flash and do that? | 00:41 |
| Jordan_U | uwall-e: You can look at the file /boot/grub/menu.lst or pastebin it and we can tell you if debian was added ( rebooting would work also ) | 00:41 |
| MsG | yeah but thats kind of a surrogate ;). I think I will physical reorder them once | 00:41 |
| MsG | thx for the help tho | 00:41 |
| losher | Dominik2: add a line to /etc/rc.local (creating it if necessary). Something like hdparm -S 240 /dev/sdc | 00:41 |
| Dominik2 | losher where sdc is my external drive right? | 00:42 |
| alokito | revenge: reinstalling a package will automatically uninstall it and then reinstall it freshly | 00:42 |
| alokito | revenge: open synaptic and find the packages flashplugin-nonfree and flashplugin-installer, then right click on them an select reinstall | 00:42 |
| losher | Dominik2: right, whatever it's named on your system. Not sure if it works with externals actually... | 00:42 |

| pharaoh | the failsafe did the exact same thing. | 01:01 |
| MsG | how can I change the imo annoying toggle system of the Show Desktop button | 01:01 |
| MsG | previously it was just show desktop | 01:01 |
| sebsebseb | pharaoh: ok a bad partition set up | 01:01 |
| pharaoh | it was working fine until I installed VB and installed XP on it. | 01:02 |
| sebsebseb | pharaoh: well 8GB is ok if it's just / and that, no /home in there | 01:02 |
| Dominik2 | losher: what is the meaning of /etc/rc.local directory? | 01:02 |
| aboanas93 | hello | 01:02 |
| sebsebseb | pharaoh: yes XP will take up about 5GB or so | 01:02 |
| aboanas93 | any help in firfox | 01:02 |
| lucyB | i really want to format my drive, can someone help me do it. | 01:02 |
| sebsebseb | pharaoh: Which XP did you put on? SP1? SP2? SP3 ? XP SP3 is about 5GB | 01:02 |
| alokito | ! hi | aboanas93 | 01:02 |
| ubottu | aboanas93: 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! | 01:02 |
| sebsebseb | lucyB: Dban | 01:03 |
| sebsebseb | lucyB: that will wipe the whole of your hard disk | 01:03 |
| aboanas93 | java applet in firefox | 01:03 |
| pharaoh | i am able to use the terminal. I installed Sp2 | 01:03 |
| thiebaude | lucyB, you have the ubuntu install cd? | 01:03 |
| lucyB | dban, I have heard of that. | 01:03 |
| lucyB | I think I have a copy.. .hang on. | 01:03 |
| sebsebseb | lucyB: yes and I saw you mention it | 01:03 |
| aboanas93 | guys | 01:03 |
| Jordan_U | pharaoh: I think that virtualbox stores its virtual machines in ~/.Virtualbox, but I still doubt that running out of space is the problem, especially if you have 400 meg free already | 01:03 |
| pharaoh | Like I said, Ubuntu worked fine until I installed XP through VB. | 01:03 |
| losher | Dominik2: it's a file. It runs as the last thing in the boot sequence every time the system boots, so it's where people put customisations that they want to run as root once per bootup... | 01:03 |
| sebsebseb | lucyB: most peopel just delete the partitions, there isn't really much of a point doing other stuff, unless your for example going to sell your computer to someone else | 01:03 |
| pharaoh | well when I run df -h the "Use %" for the fs is 100% | 01:04 |
| lucyB | I am setting it up for my older sister. | 01:04 |
| agliodbs | I'm installing tomcat, but it's linking against gcj instead of the java I installed earlier (Sun 6 JRE) | 01:04 |
| agliodbs | any easy way to fix that? | 01:04 |
| sebsebseb | lucyB: ok well deleting the partitions with gparted on the live cd, should be fine then, and then installing Ubuntu | 01:05 |
| Jordan_U | pharaoh: Check ~/.Virtualbox, "sudo apt-get clean" is also a good way to free up some space | 01:05 |
| lucyB | ok, sebsebseb do you know where i can get instructions on how to use dban? | 01:05 |
| aboanas93 | yo guys | 01:06 |
| sebsebseb | lucyB: when I tried it, it was just put the CD in to the computer, and let it delete stuff | 01:06 |
| alokito | !ask | aboanas93 | 01:06 |
| ubottu | aboanas93: 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. :-) | 01:06 |
| aboanas93 | okay , about java in firefox | 01:07 |
| MocArt | åñòü ðóññêèå? | 01:07 |
| aboanas93 | it doesnt work even i install it. | 01:07 |
| thiebaude | aboanas93, did you install the java plugin for firefox? | 01:07 |
| alokito | aboanas93: how did you install it? | 01:07 |
| MocArt | åñòü êòî íèòü ðóññêèé? | 01:07 |
| mgv1 | what does this "Could not download all repository indexes" means? why does it started today without me doing something that may make it happens? | 01:08 |
| aboanas93 | no . | 01:08 |
| sebsebseb | losher: indeed at that | 01:08 |
| aboanas93 | im newbie in ubuntu | 01:08 |
| losher | !ru | MocArt | 01:08 |
| ubottu | MocArt: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke | 01:08 |
| thiebaude | aboanas93, sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin | 01:08 |
| lucyB | i hate linux... nothing has documentation or if it is there is it useless. instead of pushing out new versions they shoudl focuse on improving the documentation on very program included with the operating system. | 01:08 |
| sebsebseb | lucyB: if a computer is going to be sold to strangers, and has personal information about you on the hard disk some where, then it's a good idea to wipe out the hard disk properly | 01:08 |
| alokito | mgv1: are you using karmic? | 01:08 |
| aboanas93 | okay i will try it now, thanks. | 01:09 |
| Jordan_U | mgv1: It means that one of the repositories you have added cannot be accessed, do you use any third party repos that might be down? Are you having any network problems? | 01:09 |
| thiebaude | aboanas93, and java will be, sudo apt-get install java6-jre | 01:09 |
| lucyB | there is a reason why windows is still being used even if linux is ready for prime time. | 01:09 |
| sebsebseb | lucyB: if your just giving it to your sister, I expect it's fine to just delete the partitions normalley | 01:09 |
| sebsebseb | lucyB: Dban is also not a LInux program by the way | 01:09 |
| lucyB | sebsebseb, I need to do it completely. That is what I need. | 01:09 |
| Pici | lucyB: This isn't a complaint channel. And we don't support dban here, it is not an Ubuntu program. | 01:09 |
| aboanas93 | after that ,do i have to close firefox? | 01:09 |
| thiebaude | aboanas93, yes | 01:10 |

| pharaoh | I keep getting the msg during bootup that "mount: /dev/sr1: unknown device /dev/sr0: unknown device" I don't knwo what this is referring to. | 01:10 |
| alokito | lucyB: linux has a lot more community support than proprietary os | 01:10 |
| kivo | are there smart tools for linux that have a gui? | 01:11 |
| thiebaude | aboanas93, did it work? | 01:11 |
| lucyB | does ubuntu have a program that has the same functionality of dban? | 01:11 |
| alokito | brb | 01:11 |
| aboanas93 | Your browser does not support applets, or you have disabled applets in your browser settings. | 01:11 |
| losher | lucyB: I just took a look at DBAN and it looks very well documented. If your reading skills are adequate... | 01:11 |
| aboanas93 | no the same. | 01:11 |
| jedc | kivo, smart tools? | 01:11 |
| kivo | jdec you know, smart hard drive monitoring tools? | 01:12 |
| ncfi1013 | port forwarding tcp and udp ports are both port 80 correct? | 01:12 |
| sebsebseb | lucyB: also documentation and help, it depends on a distro, Ubuntu has the IRC and forums and that for help, and it's known to have a good help community | 01:12 |
| EugenMayer | is there a bacula wxWidget client for Bacula under ubuntu? | 01:12 |
| kivo | jedc http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S.M.A.R.T. | 01:13 |
| pharaoh | HD space was the issue to my original problem. I removed the XP file and then rebooted and i am able to log into Gnome w/ any issues. Thanks for your help | 01:13 |
| lucyB | losher, you found the documentation sufficient? well I am just a normal person, not a computer pro | 01:13 |
| losher | kivo: there is gsmartctl. The web page looks down right now, but google had a cached copy -- http://74.125.155.132/search?q=cache:Y8wgAM8VGYQJ:ubuntu-unleashed.com/2008/10/gsmartcontrol-hard-disk-drive-health-inspection-tool.html+gsmartctl&cd=3&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us | 01:14 |

| dalia | Hi guys I have a question for you, how can I share my ubuntu internet connection with winxp | 01:19 |
| kivo | losher Hhhmmm... I get this error when trying to run it, I should have mentioned I'm running 9.04 64 from a live cd. " Failed to execute child process "su-to-root" (No such file or directory) " | 01:19 |
| dalia | It's really a PITA | 01:20 |
| dalia | hello? | 01:20 |
| losher | kivo: personally I'd try a more stable livecd. 8.04 32 bit rarely fails... | 01:20 |
| Trizicus | hm dmesg | tail -f supposedly works... didn't think it'd be that simple (if it works) lol | 01:21 |
| DryGrain | it seems that i dont have a windows partiton anymore! | 01:21 |
| * DryGrain mourns his loss of data | 01:21 | |
| losher | Trizicus: I never found dmesg worked with tail -f, though you'd want it to. I had to resort to running dmesg repeatedly... | 01:21 |
| dalia | Any helpfull soul up there? | 01:22 |
| keith | kivo: I had the same error for a package that was solved by installing "menu" I think. Not sure if that is your problem though. | 01:22 |
| ncfi1013 | port forwarding tcp and udp ports are both port 80 correct? | 01:22 |
| sebsebseb | dalia: Samba is for sharing files with Windows, and printers can also be shared | 01:22 |
| agliodbs | dalia: explain what you want to share and what your machine setup is | 01:22 |
| kivo | keith menu? | 01:22 |
| thiebaude | !samba | 01:23 |
| ubottu | Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 01:23 |
| dalia | seb: I can connect to windows and I can share files but I can't share internet | 01:23 |
| losher | DryGrain: you installed ubuntu after windows I assume. Usually that preserves the windows installation. Are you sure it's gone? Can I see your sudo fdisk -l output? | 01:23 |
| keith | kivo, it's in the repositories. The description says "generates programs menu for all menu-aware applications" | 01:23 |
| dalia | I tried firestarter in vain | 01:23 |
| durt | ncfi1013, depends what you want to do. | 01:24 |
| keith | kivo, all I know is sbackup needs it to run properly | 01:24 |
| agliodbs | dalia: see my quesiton above | 01:24 |
| Jordan_U | dalia: Network manager can do internet sharing | 01:24 |
| Trizicus | watch dmesg seems to be doing nice | 01:24 |
| keith | kivo, it gives the same error if it's not installed. | 01:24 |
| pelmen | hey guys anyone tried the new skype, i keep losing mic sound with it | 01:25 |
| dalia | agliodbs: I have to computers in one of them Ubuntu is the host with two NICs one connected to the internet and he other one is wired to a network box, the second pc has winxp connected to the network | 01:25 |
| Trizicus | however i am trying to figure out what /dev/ a certain piece of hardware is. For example cdrom I know is /dev/cdrom however where is it in the log files that tells me this when I put in a new CD for example? | 01:25 |
| losher | Trizicus: what kind of hardware? Is it removable? | 01:25 |

| Trizicus | i know it's /dev/cdrom but i want to be able to find this in the log files where do i start | 01:26 |
| === floopsy is now known as Floops | ||
| timClicks | any suggestions? | 01:26 |
| losher | Trizicus: dmesg | egrep -i cdrom <-- something like this? | 01:26 |
| agliodbs | dalia: then you want to use network manager to set up your ubuntu box like it was a router | 01:27 |
| dalia | how I do that agliodbs, I'm using ubuntu 9.04 | 01:27 |
| Trizicus | ok in this case it is hdc so i could technically mount /dev/hdc? | 01:27 |

| jrib | Xpl0it: why? | 01:28 |
| Xpl0it | need to add something to the $PATH | 01:29 |
| losher | Trizicus: usually for a cdrom, /dev/cdrom will be an alias for the cdrom device so you can use either that or it's 'real' name... | 01:29 |
| dalia | Ok, do I have to do soemthing on the winxp client machine? | 01:29 |
| Xpl0it | and... well I can add it to the /etc/environment | 01:29 |

| Fohn | Hi. I've gotten a new monitor and input the correct resolution and refresh rates in my xorg.conf file, however these changes do not remain consistent throughout my session changes. My gdm login screen, however, retains the correct resolution. I have to use the proprietary driver to change the resolution, and the change is not permanent. Any ideas?

| Wrec | ok | 02:08 |
| jrib | !botclone | Napst3r | 02:08 |

| Wrec | jordan here it is... | 02:18 |
| Wrec | http://paste.ubuntu.com/276682/ | 02:18 |

| CmdPrmtMd | I use a few distos | 02:18 |
| sebsebseb | !new | leelee | 02:18 |
| ubottu | leelee: documentation is to be found at http://help.ubuntu.com and http://wiki.ubuntu.com - General linux documentation: http://www.tldp.org - http://rute.2038bug.com | 02:18 |
| leelee | is ubuntu better than mint 7? I havent tried mint 7 yet but I hear it is really good. I do like ubuntu. | 02:18 |
| sebsebseb | leelee: Mint is based on Ubuntu | 02:18 |
| Wrec | http://paste.ubuntu.com/276682/ | 02:18 |
| theblue | ok, i've got an hp mini 1035, and i've got no sound at all. | 02:18 |
| leelee | it is 'based' on it, but isnt it different? | 02:19 |
| sebsebseb | leelee: and it's very green by default | 02:19 |
| dalia | theblue, must be the pulseaudio thing | 02:19 |
| teehee | does it matter which version of windows 7 i use for virtualization like can i use a pro version | 02:19 |
| Jordan_U | Wrec: OK, run "sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt" it should give no output if it worked | 02:19 |
| sebsebseb | leelee: Mint is rather similar to Ubuntu really | 02:19 |
| theblue | dalia, so what should i do? | 02:19 |
| sebsebseb | teehee: nope it doesn't matter which version you vm | 02:19 |
| timbojimbo | Jordan_U: basically it says: Unknown option --choose-session=openbox-session | 02:19 |
| teehee | my total was 2891 is that good | 02:19 |
| Wrec | ok done | 02:20 |
| sebsebseb | teehee: that should be fine yeah | 02:20 |
| leelee | so, since I am happy with Ubuntu there is no reason to change | 02:20 |
| Jordan_U | dalia: Can you please use pastebin to get me the output from nm-tool? ( do NOT paste into the channel again ) | 02:20 |
| Wrec | jordan done | 02:20 |
| sebsebseb | leelee: pretty much yeah, and also this channel is for Ubuntu support not other distros as well | 02:20 |
| Jordan_U | Wrec: Ok, "gksudo gedit /mnt/boot/grub/menu.lst" should open your menu.lst in gedit | 02:20 |
| sebsebseb | leelee: As far as I know Ubuntu has much better support than Mint has | 02:21 |
| Wrec | ok done | 02:21 |
| leelee | I was just wanting someone elses opinion. I appreciate it and I will stay with Ubuntu. Thanks all | 02:21 |

| dobblego | I tried to install dual-boot on a dell machine with vista and the partitioner ran into an error as soon as it tried to do its thing -- I looked around in BIOS for perhaps some setting protecting the MBR but I could find nothing, any tips on what it could be? | 02:28 |
| leelee | no | 02:28 |
| n-iCe | leelee: I don't know how to explain you, just go to the right bar and grab it to the left, so you can resize the bar | 02:29 |
| sebsebseb | dobblego: ok did you let Ubuntu resize your Vista partition? | 02:29 |
| resno1 | i have been able to hear sound when i set my sound card on prefrences, but otherwise i hear nothing. | 02:29 |
| === sunshinepants1 is now known as sunshinepants | ||
| dobblego | sebsebseb, I tried, but it hit an error immediately trying to do so | 02:29 |
| Wrec | ok thx for that | 02:29 |
| sebsebseb | dobblego: ok | 02:29 |
| sebsebseb | dobblego: you shoudn't use Gparted or any of that to resize a Vista partition, because data loss migh thappen | 02:30 |
| leelee | it just makes the page wider doesnt show the nicks | 02:30 |
| Wrec | got another one..i know what stuffed my grub menu.lst... | 02:30 |
| sebsebseb | dobblego: instead let Vista resize itself, there's a built in tool or two for this, well two sure, the graphical one and the command line | 02:30 |
| dobblego | sebsebseb, does the ubuntu installation use gparted? | 02:30 |
| Wrec | anyone know how to add a splash image to (k)ubuntu booloader?? | 02:30 |
| dobblego | sebsebseb, ok, so I boot into vista to use this tool? | 02:30 |
| sebsebseb | dobblego: the Ubuntu installer uses something else | 02:30 |
| Wrec | the right way....hehe | 02:31 |
| sebsebseb | dobblego: yes let Vista resize itself, and no you don't use Gparted in Vista | 02:31 |
| sebsebseb | !gparted | dobblego | 02:31 |
| ubottu | dobblego: gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php | 02:31 |
| dobblego | sebsebseb, ok, I'll have to figure out what you use then | 02:31 |
| sebsebseb | dobblego: What I am saying is don't let the Ubuntu installer or Gparted resize your Vista partition. | 02:31 |
| dobblego | yes I have used gparted before, I wasn't using gparted | 02:31 |
| dobblego | sebsebseb, ok, a windows thing to do it then, thanks | 02:31 |
| timbojimbo | Hey I just installed open box. When I select session gnome/openbox it gives me this error message: Unknown option --choose-session=openbox-session. When I use Openbox by itself it runs but there is no interface. all i can do is right click on the desktop and do things via the terminal. not terrible but my girlfriend wont be able to use it. any suggestions? Ideas? | 02:32 |
| sebsebseb | dobblego: thinking of what I mean uhmm. system computer right click, and computer management or something. well ##windows can help you resize Vista anyway, plus you might find that, even after you resized it using it's tool, it's taking up tons of space | 02:32 |
| dobblego | sebsebseb, ok, I'll look into it thanks, I don't suppose there is a ubuntu wiki page on it | 02:33 |
| sebsebseb | dobblego: nope don't think so | 02:33 |

| Jordan_U | dalia: It didn't, for some reason network-manager is still using the automatic profile rather than the sharing profile | 02:42 |
| ThomasHC | bbl shower | 02:42 |
| Jordan_U | dalia: Do you see the sharing profile in the network-manager applet? | 02:42 |
| dalia | Jordan_U, Yes I think there is something fishy there | 02:42 |
| jamiejackson | how do i tell ubuntu how many boots until the next auto-filesystem check? i actually want to force one. | 02:42 |
| leelee | it says there is 1335 Users. Is that correct? | 02:42 |
| theblue | yes. | 02:43 |
| sebsebseb | agliodbs: hmm that's your response to me for !language, and I don't know | 02:43 |
| dalia | Jordan_U, the only thing I see in the applet is Auto eth1 active | 02:43 |

| Fohn | Does anyone know why my changes in resolution will not remain persistent through session changes?

| timbojimbo | Hey I just installed open box. When I select session gnome/openbox it gives me this error message: Unknown option --choose-session=openbox-session. When I use Openbox by itself it runs but there is no interface. all i can do is right click on the desktop and do things via the terminal. not terrible but my girlfriend wont be able to use it. any suggestions? Ideas? | 02:43 |
| Jordan_U | dalia: Odd | 02:43 |
| Pici | leelee: Can you try right-clicking on the channel name itself and see if there is an option for the userlist. I don't use xchat-gnome, and my client doesnt have a userlist, and yes there are that many people here. | 02:44 |
| dalia | Jordan_U: the share internet should be in the Wired tab, right? | 02:44 |
| agliodbs | sebsebseb: yep, it is | 02:44 |

| leelee | no option | 02:44 |

| Fohn | ah, details is way better | 02:45 |
| leelee | is there another xchat I should download? | 02:45 |
| sebsebseb | agliodbs: Well you should go back to asking it to the whole channel, and give it some time, and you might get a proper reply to it. | 02:45 |
| Need_Help_SFTP | i have not had much luck with google instructions. I'm using 9.04 | 02:45 |
| dalia | Jordan_U,maybe there is something I have to install? | 02:45 |
| Jordan_U | mason: What problems? | 02:45 |
| Dr_Willis | leelee: theres xchat, and xchat-gnome, then theres a dozen+ Other irc clients you could use. | 02:45 |
| Pici | leelee: How about ctrl-u ? | 02:45 |

| RukusX | hey is swap on a machine with 2gb's of ram necessary? like do i really need 2 - 5 gigs of swap space? i never see my computer using swap ever. | 03:24 |
| funnyman | bobertdos, i showed the ubuntu loading bar , then checks for fs (which we can press Esc for skipping) It doesn't matter whether i press ESC, it will go to this black console printing error messages, and it's been staying frozen for like 20 mins | 03:24 |
| Xgates | when I try to install a new linux-header-generic the DKMS fails for building the nvidia module, how can I get it to build and not fail? | 03:24 |

| zebi_ | DoOver you can with the windows cd and the ubuntu cd too, or with acronis | 03:25 |
| Slade | DoOver: what type of filesystem do u want? | 03:25 |
| DoOver | windows will not reformat the whole drive | 03:25 |
| DoOver | slade, I am doing a dual boot. | 03:26 |
| zebi_ | or gparted.. | 03:26 |
| DoOver | what is acronis? | 03:26 |
| Slade | DoOver: is the drive partitioned? | 03:26 |
| ncfi1013 | where do i find the default gateway in linux? | 03:26 |
| DoOver | slade, I want to do a format on the drive... partitions will be wiped. | 03:26 |
| Slade | DoOver, then you need to fdisk the drive | 03:26 |
| Slade | gparted will help you | 03:26 |
| jdu | ncfi1013: find the ip of the default gateway on your network? | 03:27 |
| zebi_ | DoOver a program for erase all data on hard disk | 03:27 |
| RukusX | so what is the deal on swap space? | 03:27 |
| DoOver | slade, thired time, I did gparted. grub is still coming up. | 03:27 |
| funnyman | bobertdos a got a shell now, starting with (initramfs), is this what you meant? | 03:27 |

| Xgates | can anyone tell me how to get DKMS to build the nvidia module when installing a new kernel? | 03:28 |
| DoOver | slade the windows fdisk will not format the whole drive. the outer part of the drive will not be touched. | 03:28 |
| Xgates | it keeps failing on me... | 03:28 |
| zebi_ | but you must burn a cd.. | 03:28 |
| bobertdos | funnyman: Not quite, at the shell, you should be able to reboot, either by typing reboot or doing control alt delete. Then do alt F1 to do the text boot. | 03:28 |
| Slade | if not, and you have the windows CD. boot off of that, then go into widnows recovery console, and type in FIXMBR | 03:28 |

| Slade | DoOver: the syntax is fdisk /MBR | 03:28 |
| zebi_ | yes its the best with windows cd | 03:29 |
| Slade | that will kill grub | 03:29 |
| DoOver | zebi, thanks, I will check out acronis | 03:29 |
| Slade | but then you need to get into the windows recovery console with the windows install cd | 03:29 |
| Slade | and do FIXMBR | 03:29 |
| zebi_ | gparted works too | 03:29 |
| DoOver | slade, what does the /mbr do for you? | 03:29 |
| Slade | zebi_: appears he doesn't want to use gparted | 03:29 |
| ctmjr | RukusX: it is not necessary to have swap but if you ever need it and do not have your system will crash so it's pretty much up to you | 03:29 |
| Slade | DoOver: it erases the Master Boot Record | 03:29 |
| Slade | that is where grub is installed | 03:29 |
| LucidGuy | Simple question. I have a typical DVD file stucture Audio and Video direcotories containeing the typical vob files etc. How would one properly burn that to a DVD without converting to ISO etc... in Ubuntu | 03:30 |
| Slade | be warned, if you do not have a boot cd or floppy, you wont be able to boot your pc again | 03:30 |
| Jordan_U | zonedfull: I assume you get the second part of the error again if you run "sudo dpkg --configure -a" ? | 03:30 |
| DoOver | thanks slade. that might do it. | 03:30 |
| RukusX | ctmjr: well i have 2gb ram.... how much swap should i have? | 03:30 |
| Slade | DoOver, read my warning | 03:30 |
| DoOver | slade and zebi, I have tried gparted several times... grub is till there. | 03:30 |
| zonedfull | Yes I have tried that In terminal | 03:30 |
| Jordan_U | RukusX: Do you want to be able to hibernate? | 03:30 |
| acostello | RukusX: 2 gigs of ram doesnt touch your swap... swap is like the pagefile in windows... | 03:31 |
| funnyman | bobertdos: i have multiple OSes installed, right after i choose ubuntu, if i press fast enough , i get this prompt but it's not a shell. I tried "reboot" and now the screen is totally black, no message.. | 03:31 |
| bobertdos | zonedfull: The terminal makes it easier to fix this. Run the commands it's telling you. Install java using sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre and make sure you accept the license agreement by using the tab key to move around. | 03:31 |
| DoOver | slade, I am using ubuntu and windows... i am wiping the drive. yes I ahve the reinstall disks. | 03:31 |
| funnyman | bobertdos: Press fast enough = press Alt+F1 fast enough | 03:31 |
| Slade | DoOver, then that's all you need | 03:31 |
| Slade | brb gotta reboot | 03:31 |
| RukusX | acostello: don't compare to windows for me. lol won't work. :) | 03:31 |
| Slade | then i need to address this screen resolution problem | 03:32 |
| acostello | RukusX: lol ok | 03:32 |
| Xgates | does anyone know why DKMS fails to build Nvidia on new kernels, is it because the Nvidia packs are just meant for certain kernels? | 03:32 |
| Jordan_U | zonedfull: Could you please file a bug report with "ubuntu-bug dpkg" ? | 03:32 |
| ctmjr | RukusX: it is recommended to have double the amount of ram | 03:32 |
| RukusX | acostello: haha i am just having fun. :) i know that ubuntu does use swap different;y than windows tho | 03:32 |
| zonedfull | NO when I write it now it came up with setting up sun.java6-fonts | 03:32 |
| DoOver | Slade, thanks. Nice to come accross someone who knows what they are doing and can explain clearly. I really appreciate it. | 03:33 |
| DoOver | I do have cfdisk also, do you know what that is? | 03:33 |
| RukusX | ctmjr: but where is the threshold? that is old recommendations. Now we have machines with 4 gbs of ram or more, would it make sense to havea 6gb swap file/ partition ? | 03:33 |
| bobertdos | funnyman: Do you have a live cd? If you do, use that to get at your Ubuntu partition. Edit the file /boot/grub/menu.lst. Find in the most current automagic kernel entry the word "splash" and delete it. | 03:33 |
| funnyman | bobertdos: i think it's BusyBox built-in shell . It says here | 03:33 |
| zonedfull | But there is also a problem with that...This package is an installer packager it does not actually contain the JDK documation. You will need to download one of the archives.. | 03:33 |
| Fohn | Hello. I've gotten a new monitor and I have it configured with proper resolution and refresh rates in xorg.conf so that my login screen and other users' screens come up perfectly, however whenever I log into my profile my resolution is reverted back to my old resolution, and I have to manually change it using CCC. Anyone know how I can make the changes persistent? | 03:33 |
| RukusX | ctmjr i mean 10 gb | 03:34 |
| RukusX | or 12 | 03:34 |
| RukusX | whatever | 03:34 |
| RukusX | lolol | 03:34 |
| RukusX | u get the point | 03:34 |
| FloodBot1 | RukusX: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 03:34 |
| funnyman | bobertdos: okie, i'll give that a go, thanks | 03:34 |
| zonedfull | I have downloaded the JDK doc... but I dont get the acces to paste the file into the root directory like its explained in the Terminal | 03:34 |
| zonedfull | Yes IM a newbie | 03:34 |
| Jordan_U | RukusX: The main consideration now is how much you need to hibernate, as hibernation saves your RAM compressed to the swap partition you need somewhat less than your physical memory for swap to be able to hibernate | 03:34 |
| RukusX | Jordan_U: thats fine and all. but i never plan on hibernating. | 03:35 |
| RukusX | Jordan_U: but that might be a good guideline to go by, for your total failsafe minimum. its not a bad point | 03:35 |
| RukusX | the thing is, that i never see free -m using swap ever | 03:36 |
| RukusX | Swap: 2149 0 2149 | 03:36 |
| RukusX | lol | 03:36 |
| zonedfull | Jordan U how do I do that | 03:36 |
| zonedfull | Mabe It would be easier all if I could have the IRC client at the ubuntu PC... | 03:37 |
| dios_mio | RukusX , open 30 firefox pages | 03:37 |
| RukusX | dios_mio: who would? | 03:37 |
| Cronix | zonedfull: sudo apt-get install irssi | 03:37 |
| zonedfull | Now Im into a windows PC cause I cant install IRC at the ubuntu since the Synapic is down | 03:37 |
| Cronix | ah lol | 03:37 |
| Jordan_U | zonedfull: Pidgin supports IRC ( though the interface isn't great for IRC ) | 03:37 |
| funnyman | bobertdos: what was the possible cause of this issue? (i'm still booting the live cd) | 03:37 |
| Jordan_U | zonedfull: And pidgin comes pre-installed | 03:38 |
| RukusX | i use kvirc or xchat | 03:38 |
| RukusX | right now is kvirc | 03:38 |
| powerjuce | hey guys, i have ubuntu installed onto my harddrive, i decided to install xp after that so i installed it at the last 10 gigs of the drive, however when i run xp it runs really slowly and freezes a lot. is that because of ubuntu? | 03:38 |
| lucasmora | hello everyone. I use Ubuntu 8.04.3 LTS and I would like to know how I write ASCII characters like those hearts <3, (tm) and stuff like that | 03:38 |
| Cronix | zonedfull: can u compile? | 03:38 |
| RukusX | powerjuce: did you move windows to the front or back of your hard drive? | 03:38 |
| crasher | . | 03:39 |
| RukusX | powerjuce: sorry i misread | 03:39 |
| RukusX | powerjuce: do some googling, but maybe windows xp doesnt like being at the back of the hard drive | 03:39 |
| bullgard4 | What does 'desc' stand for in the filename /usr/share/tasksel/ubuntu-tasks.desc? | 03:39 |
| powerjuce | RukusX: ok thaks | 03:40 |
| ShapeShifter499 | I have ubuntu 9.04, I need to install windows 7 rc 7100 build to test if its my ubuntu install or just hardware thats not working correctly how do I prevent having to reinstall ubuntu if I find out its just hardware? (I'm testing my webcam) | 03:40 |
| bobertdos | funnyman: Well, sometimes, as with my laptop, if your system runs at a resolution that isn't supported by the splash screen controller, the bot sequence will choke because it's looking for boot decoration at a resolution it doesn't actually support. It's a little weird, but that's the best I can explain it. That may or may not be your issue, but it works in some situations. | 03:40 |
| lstarnes | bullgard4: it may be a debian description file | 03:40 |
| prince_jammys | 'description' | 03:40 |
| Slade | anyone know how to get kopete to connect to yahoo? | 03:40 |
| zonedfull | Im sitting with pidgin trying to configure | 03:40 |
| zonedfull | :) | 03:40 |
| zonedfull | Sorry for my late answer | 03:41 |
| Jordan_U | powerjuce: Run a checkdisk in windows, if it finds nothing wrong then it's not resizing that caused the problem | 03:41 |
| harisund | I have a EEE 900 series. I don't know if my camera is recognized or not. Does Ubuntu have drivers and software for in-built laptop cameras? Is there any software that will allow me to voice chat on Ubuntu? | 03:42 |
| powerjuce | Jordan_U: ok | 03:42 |
| funnyman | bobertdos: thanks:), now i'm in Ubuntu live, but i can't see /boot/grup/menu.lst | 03:42 |
| ShapeShifter499 | well anyone? | 03:43 |
| zonedfull1 | Now Iam connected | 03:43 |
| Jordan_U | harisund: You can test your camera with a program called "cheeze" which you can install from Applications > Add / Remove, it's a lot like Apple's Photo Booth | 03:43 |
| bobertdos | funnyman: grub, not grup | 03:43 |

| Xgates | does anyone know why DKMS fails to build Nvidia on new kernels, is it because the Nvidia packs are just meant for certain kernels? | 03:45 |
| Jordan_U | harisund: There are a few options for video chat, empathy, the newest version of Pidgin ( which is not in 9.04 ), ekiga ( which comes pre-installed ) and skype ( which is proprietary ) | 03:45 |
| Xgates | I want to install a new kernel and DKSM fails to build nvidia | 03:45 |
| harisund | Jordan_U, I didn't know Skype on linux supported video chat. Thank you! Will try that out | 03:45 |
| Jordan_U | harisund: I don't have experience with any of them though so no reccomendation :) | 03:45 |
| bobertdos | funnyman: Wait, wait, first look in Places to see if your Ubuntu partition is listed there. If it is, select it and it will mount, usually to the /media folder. | 03:46 |
| funnyman | bobertdos: if i use File Browser, i see 3 partitions, 1 is 2GB which has folder "grub", "lost+found" and all the initrd.img | 03:46 |

| bobertdos | zonedfull1: Basically, our goal is to get the stuff that's already been installed purged so we can try and start fresh. Here's a hint for future reference. If your comfortable with the terminal, apt-get is your friend. Synaptic is not always so much your friend :P | 04:02 |
| Jordan_U | Xgates: You installed the mainline headers package? | 04:03 |
| Xgates | Jordan_U: ahhh didn't know there was such a package to install, is it in Synaptic, look for mainline? | 04:04 |

| Fohn | dios_mio, you can go to applications>sound and video>sound recorder for a very basic gui recording tool. | 04:12 |
| funnyman | Jordan_U: Oh, thanks, neverknew the meaning of that directory until now :) | 04:12 |
| Strife89 | Ugh, this is unfortunate. I accidentally unchecked Enable Networking, but when I rechecked it my Wi-Fi wouldn't connect. I flipped off and on the manual switch, and now Ubuntu won't detect the interface at all. Now what? | 04:12 |
| dios_mio | fohn thans | 04:12 |
| spree | How do I play a ratDVD format? i have googled some but have not found the right answer, lots of junk links | 04:12 |
| felixsulla | I am on a laptop, and I use an external monitor. Every time I reboot, I have to go back into the Nvidia controls to tell Ubuntu to use my external monitor only. How do I make it remember automatically? | 04:12 |
| funnyman | Jordan_U: btw, i've made the "Enter" key stuck, it's going "fine", hehe, killing lots of things... | 04:13 |
| Jordan_U | Xgates: You need to install the header package from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ | 04:13 |
| bobertdos | zonedfull1: Okay, now, make this easier on yourself and use the terminal to begin with. Use sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin. For flash, we need to make sure the multiverse repo is enabled and then sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree. | 04:13 |
| Jordan_U | Xgates: The kernel headers always need to match the running kernel | 04:13 |
| Fohn | dios_mio: No problem. If you want a tool with more features, you can check out audacity at http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ | 04:13 |
| thiebaude | felixsulla, try saving as root | 04:13 |
| zonedfull1 | ok bobertdos... | 04:13 |
| dios_mio | fohn, thanks | 04:13 |
| zonedfull1 | Thank u so much | 04:13 |
| zonedfull1 | I try that now | 04:13 |
| Strife89 | Ugh, this is unfortunate. I accidentally unchecked Enable Networking, but when I rechecked it my Wi-Fi wouldn't connect. I flipped off and on the manual switch, and now Ubuntu won't detect the interface at all. Now what? Can anyone offer a suggestion? | 04:14 |
| felixsulla | thiebaude: It's a desktop app, so go to terminal, run gksu Nautilus then open the Nvidia settings and save it? .. | 04:14 |
| Xgates | Jordan_U: I Just told you I downloaded and installed them from here: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.31/ | 04:14 |
| bobertdos | zonedfull1 Installing java will ask you to accept the license agreement. Don't forget to use tab to move around when that happens. | 04:14 |
| zonedfull1 | Yes Sir | 04:14 |
| thiebaude | felixsulla, nvidia-settings | 04:14 |
| Xgates | Jordan_U: I know what the headers are, I said the problem is when I try to install one of them it won't build Nvidia, Nvidia fails | 04:15 |
| Fohn | Hello. I've gotten a new monitor and I have it configured with proper resolution and refresh rates in xorg.conf so that my login screen and other users' screens come up perfectly, however whenever I log into my profile my resolution is reverted back to my old resolution, and I have to manually change it using CCC. Anyone know how I can make the changes persistent? | 04:15 |
| shachaf | What would be the simplest way of getting a newer version of subversion working? Compiling it myself? Karmic has the new version, but I don't want to upgrade yet. | 04:15 |
| noo | there is water on the moon - i knew it! | 04:15 |
| felixsulla | Strife89: You can try sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart .. I have the same problem you are talking about, but I lose internet until I reboot :/ | 04:15 |
| jazz | find /dir/path/ -mmin n means find Files whose data was last modified n minutes ago. How do I find for n seconds ago? | 04:15 |
| felixsulla | thiebaude: Huh? | 04:15 |
| zonedfull1 | It came up with that sun java plug in is allready innstalled | 04:15 |
| Jordan_U | Xgates: What error are you getting from DKMS? | 04:16 |
| Xgates | Jordan_U: there seems to be a problem with the latest kernels that they won't build Nvidia | 04:16 |
| netbook | Fohn you might want to look up xrandr | 04:16 |
| Xgates | Jordan_U: it just says build fail is all for nvidia | 04:16 |
| netbook | i think that is it | 04:16 |
| zonedfull1 | sun java6 is allready in newest version | 04:16 |
| netbook | fohn are you using nvidia drivers? | 04:16 |
| bobertdos | zonedfull1: Okay, so then let's turn our attention to Firefox. | 04:16 |
| Xgates | Jordan_U: I tried with Nvidia 173 and 180 both fail | 04:17 |
| felixsulla | I am on a laptop, and I use an external monitor. Every time I reboot, I have to go back into the Nvidia controls to tell Ubuntu to use my external monitor only. How do I make it remember automatically? | 04:17 |
| thiebaude | felixsulla, i had to install nvidia-settings | 04:17 |
| wzssyqa | it seems that my grub.cfg became a bin file | 04:17 |
| SudoKing | could anyone point me to a page about how to enter foreign characters (such as accented letters/question marks) in Ubuntu? afaik the alt in windows aren't working for that :S | 04:17 |
| thiebaude | felixsulla, and then gksudo nvidia-settings to save my settings | 04:17 |
| Fohn | netbook: Xrandr would change the resolution for my session only. I have ATI drivers, not nvidia drivers. | 04:17 |
| bobertdos | If you type about:plugins into firefox, do you see the sun plugins for handling java? | 04:17 |
| netbook | felixsulla nvidia-settings is usually installed when you install restricted video driver support | 04:17 |
| thiebaude | netbook, yep thats what i did | 04:18 |
| netbook | fohn if you do man xrandr you will see that there are some default modes | 04:18 |
| netbook | fohn gah | 04:18 |
| netbook | sorry | 04:18 |
| netbook | i meant you should look up xrandr -q all or something like that | 04:18 |
| zonedfull1 | Well NOW its working on my bank ID the Java | 04:18 |
| netbook | set a default mode | 04:18 |
| zonedfull1 | plugin | 04:18 |
| gOLDfeesh | I'm having an issue installing AVLD it's a dummy video driver. I did everything the site tells me.. and when I try to modprobe it .. it says it can't find the module | 04:18 |
| zonedfull1 | GREAT | 04:19 |
| gnychis | does anyone here use a Thinkpad X300? | 04:19 |
| Strife89 | felixsulla: That and rebooting didn't help. :/ | 04:19 |
| === Xpl0it is now known as Xpl0it_Away | ||
| zonedfull1 | the only thing I want to work now is the flash play of movies | 04:19 |
| ncfi1013 | what application name do i give kopete in port forwarding rules on the router? | 04:19 |
| felixsulla | Strife89: You aren't by chance on a laptop that has a switch that disables wireless that's been flipped to off..? | 04:19 |
| bobertdos | zonedfull1: In the terminal, do sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree. | 04:19 |
| netbook | i am a noob leading the noobs, though i did just deal with this problem | 04:20 |
| Strife89 | felixsulla: It has a swith, but I double-checked, it's on. | 04:20 |
| zonedfull1 | I use this site and cant play the movies here in Firefox: www.vgtv.no | 04:20 |
| wzssyqa | anyone help me? | 04:20 |
| gOLDfeesh | I'm having an issue installing AVLD it's a dummy video driver. I did everything the site tells me.. and when I try to modprobe it .. it says it can't find the module PASTEBIN: http://pastebin.com/d3e6b506e | 04:20 |
| Xgates | Jordan_U: shouldn't any of the mainline kernels build Nvidia? | 04:20 |
| wzssyqa | it seems that my grub.cfg became a bin file | 04:20 |
| thiebaude | wzssyqa, what is your question? | 04:20 |
| ncfi1013 | i cant connect to my contacts in kopete. it keeps saying that they are offline and that wait till they are online or use software that supports offline protocol. | 04:21 |
| wzssyqa | thie | 04:21 |
| felixsulla | Strife89: If you go to edit connections, and under Wireless tab is your router there? | 04:21 |
| Jordan_U | Xgates: Proprietary drivers often don't build with the latest kernels at first | 04:21 |
| zonedfull1 | It came up with that flashplugin is allready in newest version that to | 04:21 |
| wzssyqa | thiebaude: so ,i can't edit it | 04:21 |
| Jordan_U | Xgates: There may be a patch needed | 04:21 |
| zonedfull1 | But i cant play the movies at that site: www.vgtv.no | 04:21 |
| thiebaude | wzssyqa, i dont know anything about that | 04:21 |
| musikgoat | wzssyqa: whats the path to the file you are attempting to edit? | 04:21 |
| Strife89 | felixsulla: Yes. | 04:22 |
| bobertdos | zonedfull1: Okay, so check about:plugins in Firefox. If you have Gnash or other flash alternatives in there, they need to die. | 04:22 |
| wzssyqa | musikgoat: /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 04:22 |
| Xgates | Jordan_U: ok if you find a patch please let me know, I'll try an older kernel in the meantime... | 04:22 |
| _n3ss_ | paaa cuanta gente! | 04:22 |
| _n3ss_ | alguien spanish | 04:22 |
| felixsulla | Strife89: What does ifconfig in terminal show? | 04:22 |
| jazz | How do you delete files in a directory that are older than 5 seconds? | 04:22 |
| thiebaude | !es | 04:22 |
| 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. | 04:22 |
| _n3ss_ | buenas a todos | 04:22 |
| musikgoat | wzssyqa: first, i think you should ask in #ubuntu+1, unless you are running jaunty and grub2 | 04:22 |
| gOLDfeesh | Anyone/ | 04:22 |
| gOLDfeesh | !anyone | gOLDfeesh | 04:23 |
| ubottu | gOLDfeesh, please see my private message | 04:23 |
| gOLDfeesh | lol. | 04:23 |
| Strife89 | felixsulla: Only eth0 and lo. Odd, wlan0 should be there.... | 04:23 |
| musikgoat | wzssyqa: second, the file you edit is in /etc/default | 04:23 |
| _n3ss_ | Muchas Gracias UBOTTU | 04:23 |
| thiebaude | !thanks | 04:23 |
| ubottu | You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) | 04:23 |
| musikgoat | wzssyqa: once you've edited that file, you then run sudo update-grub and it will write it to the grub.cfg | 04:23 |
| felixsulla | Strife89: Agreed, I think Ubuntu has dumbed your ethernet card? | 04:23 |
| gOLDfeesh | Anyways, my question any idea as to why I can't load the module? Pastebin: http://pastebin.com/d3e6b506e | 04:24 |
| wzssyqa | musikgoat: t will try | 04:24 |
| Strife89 | felixsulla: Is a reinstall in order? | 04:24 |
| musikgoat | wzssyqa: i think its /etc/default/grub.something... i don't have grub2 on this machine | 04:24 |
| felixsulla | Strife89: I dont think you should have to do that.. there is probably a way to get it to recognize your wireless again. | 04:24 |
| ncfi1013 | what application name do i give kopete in port forwarding rules on the router?i cant connect to my contacts in kopete. it keeps saying that they are offline and that wait till they are online or use software that supports offline protocol. | 04:24 |
| _n3ss_ | Gracais, hasta luego, bye | 04:24 |
| zonedfull1 | bobertdos I have shockwave flash there | 04:25 |
| frybye | hi - when I try and use jaunty live-cd with gparted to prepare some old pc's for installing win2000 (at work = no choice-) I am not sure what settings to use... | 04:25 |
| gnychis | does anyone here use a Thinkpad X300? | 04:25 |
| zonedfull1 | and qucktime with Totem | 04:26 |
| Jordan_U | zonedfull1: When you go to that site to you get a message about missing plugins or does the video just not play? | 04:26 |
| frybye | I tried to take the file format DOS and then make particions with fat32 but the cd the boss gave us with an image of win2000 for this hardware did not work.... any ideas?? | 04:26 |
| zonedfull1 | the video just not play | 04:26 |
| Strife89 | felixsulla: Question is ... what? | 04:26 |
| zonedfull1 | not any question | 04:26 |
| wzssyqa | musikgoat: it seems that have a grub | 04:26 |
| sebsebseb | frybye: Do Microsoft even provide support for Windows 2000 anymore? | 04:26 |
| thiebaude | sebsebseb, no | 04:27 |
| musikgoat | wzssyqa: what? | 04:27 |
| thiebaude | sebsebseb, its past extended support | 04:27 |
| felixsulla | Strife89: Lets dig around on Google here... | 04:27 |
| bobertdos | zonedfull1: Anything else besides shockwave flash? What version does it list? | 04:27 |
| wzssyqa | musikgoat: but in it ,there is no item for boot | 04:27 |
| frybye | sebsebseb: not sure - but I have no say in such decisions at the job - just expected to do what I am told... | 04:27 |
| sebsebseb | thiebaude: yes that's what I thought, so what's this about frybye having to prepare computers for Windows 2000? | 04:27 |
| Strife89 | sebsebseb: No. | 04:27 |
| musikgoat | !grub2 | wzssyqa | 04:27 |
| ubottu | wzssyqa: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 04:27 |
| wzssyqa | musikgoat: i am trying boot arch from ubuntu's grub2 | 04:27 |
| D3RGPS31 | anyone know of a way to set the boot resolution to something the framebuffer doesn't support (grub2) | 04:27 |
| sebsebseb | frybye: ok well that's silly, but should be able to just delete the partitions on the 2000 CD and install, or use gparted to delete tehm | 04:28 |
| musikgoat | wzssyqa: maybe you should ask in #arch | 04:28 |
| zonedfull1 | seems like its totem that handles everyting | 04:28 |
| Jordan_U | frybye: If that install CD can install to those computers it can format them itself. You might want to ask in ##windows | 04:28 |
| musikgoat | wzssyqa: or #archlinux | 04:28 |
| thiebaude | frybye, just install the cd | 04:28 |
| zonedfull1 | exept flash that is shockwave flash 9.0 r999 | 04:29 |
| wzssyqa | musikgoat: but i am using the ubuntu's grub | 04:29 |
| Jordan_U | wzssyqa: What happens when you run "sudo update-grub" ? | 04:29 |
| ncfi1013 | what application name do i give kopete in port forwarding rules on the router? and i cant connect to my contacts in kopete. it keeps saying that they are offline and that wait till they are online or use software that supports offline protocol. | 04:29 |
| frybye | sebsebseb: the boss does not want us to use the win2000 install cd - he has a pre-prepared image that is supposed to match the hardware we have ... my question is what settings in gparted to use....? | 04:29 |
| zonedfull1 | jodan_U: nothing happens yes it doesnt ask for codecs or anything | 04:29 |
| wzssyqa | Jordan_U: i can't edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 04:29 |
| Strife89 | felixsulla: I can't search, my DS is my only way to the Internet 'till my laptop's back up, and it's running ClIRC at the moment. | 04:30 |
| musikgoat | wzssyqa: no you are simply using grub2, and trying to boot to arch, most people here aren't yet familiar with grub2, but that link ubottu gave ou might help | 04:30 |
| Jordan_U | wzssyqa: You shouldn't edit it | 04:30 |
| jimbeam12 | GPG error: http://packages.medibuntu.org jaunty Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 2EBC26B60C5A2783 | 04:30 |
| musikgoat | Jordan_U: i gave him the correct path to /etc/default/grub | 04:30 |
| frybye | hmmm... I am confused myself - my college is deaf+dumb and it is hard to communicate with him... have no figured out how this image is supposed to be installed.... | 04:30 |
| sebsebseb | frybye: Gparted is for making and deleting partitions that kind of thing, not using prepared images | 04:30 |
| D3RGPS31 | anyone know of a way to set the boot resolution to something the framebuffer doesn't support | 04:30 |
| Jordan_U | wzssyqa: When you run "sudo update-grub" does update-grub add an entry for arch? | 04:30 |
| kandjar | I'm having an issue using screen: on a remote computer i have screen running for user1, I ssh to that box with user2, then i 'su' to log on with user1 but i can't do "screen -r"; any reason why? | 04:30 |
| bobertdos | zonedfull1: Eee, yeah, not good | 04:30 |
| sebsebseb | frybye: as far as I know | 04:31 |
| ctmjr | !keyring | jimbeam12 | 04:31 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about keyring | 04:31 |
| wzssyqa | Jordan_U: i wiil try | 04:31 |
| jimbeam12 | yeah how to i get it | 04:31 |
| bobertdos | zonedfull1: Are you on jaunty? | 04:31 |
| jimbeam12 | how do i get it ctmjr | 04:31 |
| felixsulla | Strife89: What does "lshw -c network" show? Probably no card right? | 04:31 |
| frybye | sebsebseb: the bs is that at work they have the ports shut off for irc - so I cant get any help there this way... | 04:31 |
| zonedfull1 | bobertdos: shall I remove the shockwave flash then | 04:31 |
| ctmjr | jimbeam12: on the medibuntu website | 04:31 |
| wzssyqa | Jordan_U: yes,it find it | 04:31 |
| musikgoat | frybye: do they have ssh port disabled? | 04:32 |
| bobertdos | zonedfull1: yes | 04:32 |
| zonedfull1 | ok I try that | 04:32 |
| musikgoat | frybye: ssh home, and run irssi from there, screen+irssi = win! | 04:32 |
| zonedfull1 | and then close firefox | 04:32 |
| bobertdos | zonedfull1: You're not trying Koala, are you? | 04:32 |
| Jordan_U | D3RGPS31: If the kernel framebuffer can't support it you can't get that resolution without X. Note that KMS drivers will support the same resolutions for X and the framebuffer | 04:32 |
| wzssyqa | Jordan_U: but,ubuntu have become non-unix | 04:32 |
| Strife89 | felixsulla: Actually, it's there ... Says it's disabled. | 04:32 |
| frybye | musikgoat: dont know really.... they ahve some sort of proxy running there that dosent allow one to do much at all... | 04:32 |
| Jordan_U | wzssyqa: How so? | 04:32 |
| zonedfull1 | firefox | 04:32 |
| musikgoat | wzssyqa: what does that mean? | 04:32 |
| felixsulla | Strife89: Oh, ok. so we just have to enable it. | 04:33 |
| musikgoat | wzssyqa: because of grub2? | 04:33 |
| sebsebseb | frybye: ok I think you should ask in ##windows | 04:33 |
| bobertdos | zonedfull1: No, I mean Ubuntu version | 04:33 |
| wzssyqa | musikgoat: i think i can do everything with vi on unix | 04:33 |
| ctmjr | jimbeam12: or try this sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get update | 04:33 |
| zonedfull1 | No i think this is just ubuntu 9.04 | 04:33 |
| prince_jammys | he means that grub.cfh is no longer a text file, which is not the case (at least in my debian box) | 04:33 |
| sebsebseb | frybye: ok they have ports blocked, but are still silly enough to be running 2000 when Microsoft no longer support it hmm | 04:33 |
| wzssyqa | musikgoat: but here,i can't | 04:33 |
| frybye | sebsebseb: always the problem with such questions - in windows they will say "questions about gparted in #ubuntu etc..." | 04:33 |
| zonedfull1 | how do I remove the plug in | 04:34 |
| sebsebseb | frybye: as far as I know for what you want to use, you don't use gparted | 04:34 |
| test34 | Anyone have a microsoft vx-1000 working ? (I get the green screen-> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libv4l/+bug/379024 ) | 04:34 |
| thiebaude | frybye, what do they have on the computers now? | 04:34 |
| prince_jammys | wzssyqa: what makes you say that grub.cfg is not a text file ? | 04:34 |
| bobertdos | zonedfull1: sudo apt-get purge libflashplayer-nonfree. | 04:34 |
| zonedfull1 | the only option is to turn it off | 04:34 |
| felixsulla | Strife89: Um, .. so this is kind of a guess, but try "sudo ifconfig wlan0 up" | 04:34 |
| Jordan_U | wzssyqa: This is a configuration that is generated by shell scripts ( which you can edit with vi ), it doesn't get more unix than that | 04:34 |
| scunizi | frybye: I just logged in .. what's the question? | 04:34 |
| sebsebseb | frybye: as far as I know you can't use some kind of partition backup image with gparted | 04:34 |
| musikgoat | prince_jammys: grub.cfg should not be hand edited in any case | 04:34 |
| zonedfull1 | shall I do that now? | 04:34 |
| prince_jammys | musikgoat: doesn't matter. | 04:34 |
| arooni-mobile | with saytime; i see: sox formats: no handler for given file type ossdsp ubuntu ... how do i fix? | 04:35 |
| wzssyqa | Jordan_U: i really can't edit it,now | 04:35 |
| frybye | the baude.. nothing... the h-ware donated by the police dept for use in the schools.. and the hard disks wiped radically clean... | 04:35 |
| prince_jammys | text files can be read as well as edited. | 04:35 |
| thiebaude | frybye, ahh | 04:35 |
| webbb82 | i was trying to install barpanel and i get thnis error unable to read filedescriptor flags for <package status and progress file descriptor>: Bad file descriptor | 04:35 |
| bobertdos | zonedfull1: Yes, then do the opposite, sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree. If that still doesn't work, purge it again and you can try downloading the deb installer from adobe's site. | 04:35 |
| zonedfull1 | boberdos:couldnt find the package | 04:35 |
| prince_jammys | wzssyqa: you can't edit it because the write permission bit is off. | 04:35 |
| frybye | sebsebseb: is just the question of which settings to use whe making the partitions... | 04:35 |
| Strife89 | felixsulla: "SIOCSIFFLAGS: Resource temporarily unavailible" | 04:35 |
| wzssyqa | omg,now,i can | 04:35 |
| bobertdos | zonedfull1: Are you using 64-bit Ubuntu? | 04:35 |
| Jordan_U | wzssyqa: It has read only permission because you are supposed to edit the scripts that create the file, not the file itself ( you can edit the file manually if you really want but you shouldn't ) | 04:36 |
| thiebaude | frybye, maybe show your boss ubuntu | 04:36 |
| sebsebseb | scunizi: frybe wants to use some kind of 2000 backup image with gparted | 04:36 |
| prince_jammys | wzssyqa: that's because you're not supposed to edit that file directly. | 04:36 |
| wzssyqa | no,i use sudo | 04:36 |
| prince_jammys | so what? | 04:36 |
| bobertdos | zonedfull1: Also, if you go into System->Administration->Software Sources, are all the repos checked? | 04:36 |
| musikgoat | Jordan_U: but wont those edits be overwritten with update-grub? | 04:36 |
| scunizi | sebsebseb: ah.. that's one of those things you say "good luck" too. | 04:36 |
| Techie | frybye- are you stuck behind a restrictive proxy? i might be able to help | 04:36 |
| sebsebseb | scunizi: yes that's what I thought can't be done with gparted | 04:36 |
| Jordan_U | musikgoat: Yes, which is why you should edit the scripts in /etc/grub.d/ instead | 04:37 |
| wzssyqa | thanks everybody | 04:37 |
| m0r0n | Is there anywhere I can get more Compiz plugins or is what is there the only ones? | 04:37 |
| musikgoat | heh | 04:37 |
| sebsebseb | frybye: Gparted is for standard partition stuff, not backups | 04:37 |
| sebsebseb | frybye: not images of partition backups | 04:37 |
| frybye | hang on - I will put this ? on hold for the moment and send the boss a fax pointing out that win2000 is no longer supported by ms and see what he says... | 04:37 |
| thiebaude | !ccsm | 04:38 |
| ubottu | To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz | 04:38 |
| Jordan_U | m0r0n: Have you already installed compiz-fusion-plugins-extra ? | 04:38 |

| ryguy | Hey, when creating a .deb file, will the packages under "depends" autoinstall when they install my .deb? Or do they have to be under "pre-depends" to autoinstall? | 04:56 |
| scunizi | Xgates: install dkms and then with the new kernel it may be updated correctly with the repo driver.. if not you'll have to revert back to the nv driver (generic) and then do the install for the newer driver from nvidia | 04:57 |
| zonedfull | bobertdos: cant see that tick...I can only see since I am from Norway download from server in Norway | 04:57 |

| zonedfull | bobertdos Thank u so much...and jodan_U what can I say | 05:28 |
| zonedfull | THANK YOU | 05:28 |
| zonedfull | It working | 05:28 |
| WIGGMPk | Jordan_U: I have had multiple devices download at the same time.. but when using Transmission, it kills throughput on the network.. | 05:28 |
| Jordan_U | WIGGMPk: Run wireshark on the computer running bittorrent and the others and see if there is anything interesting | 05:29 |
| Kingtiger01 | something strange i just noticed... the testnet is not operating the same channel... | 05:29 |
| Crash1hd | lstarnes: ok so */1 * * * * does it every minute :) thanks | 05:29 |
| trinium | dd | 05:29 |
| Jordan_U | WIGGMPk: Bittorrent can use an absurd amount of streams | 05:29 |
| WIGGMPk | Jordan_U: I ran wireshark and etherape with nothing out of the ordinary going on | 05:29 |
| zonedfull | bobertdos: What can I say...Im speechless THANK YOU SO MUCH MAN | 05:29 |
| WIGGMPk | Jordan_U: I understand that, but capping the download/upload bandwidth should do exactly that.. | 05:30 |
| zonedfull | bobertdos: Im so Grateful | 05:30 |
| dividebyzero | Anyone mind giving a Ubuntu newbie a hand? I'm trying to set up my wireless network, I installed the ndisgtk, accessed the program, but I cant seem to find my .inf file, or my Windows drive, for that matter. | 05:30 |
| Jordan_U | WIGGMPk: Capping the bandwidth won't neccisarily reduce the number of streams | 05:30 |
| bobertdos | zonedfull: Oh yes, no problem. It's what we're here to do. | 05:30 |
| zonedfull | Jordan_U: Thank u so much for the support | 05:30 |
| bullgard4 | I am going to import my Evolution addressbook to Thunderbird. Thunderbird's import wizard > Import Address Book has an line 'Record data to import=id". What does this 'id' (identifier) mean in Thunderbird's addressbook? | 05:30 |
| Caimlas_ | hi, I'm trying to figure out how to get kdevelop to work on ubuntu 9.04. I can't seem to find the dev packages for it - qtcore and qtgui headers, specifically. they aren't the logical libqtcore4-dev or libqtgui4-dev packages (whereas the same packages sans the -dev are available). what might I look at doing? | 05:31 |
| Jordan_U | dividebyzero: First, most of the time ndiswrapper is not actually needed. What is the chipset of your wireless card? | 05:31 |
| Jordan_U | zonedfull: np | 05:31 |
| WIGGMPk | Jordan_U: other than limiting the peers, there is no other settings in Transmission.. | 05:31 |
| linuxguy2009 | Is there a nautilus bug that is keeping samba shares from showing up in my network? I can manually browse to them with the local ip but thats all. | 05:31 |
| gnychis | does anyone here use an X300 thinkpad? | 05:31 |
| xangua | dividebyzero: if you can't find it then download it, be shure to use XP drivers | 05:31 |
| Lartza_ | Caimlas_: Ubuntu uses no headers | 05:31 |
| anonymous_ | pringles | 05:31 |
| Lartza_ | Caimlas_: Only normal and dev packages | 05:31 |
| cms-affla | lstnares: sorry got lost site and pc were tempermental with eachother...http://paste.ubuntu.com/276765/ | 05:32 |
| Kingtiger01 | Jordan_U: Not to mention, unless QoS is deployed on the network, it can detirmine some connections are stll local. in some rare cases... | 05:32 |
| lstarnes | Caimlas_: the -dev packages contain headers | 05:32 |
| dividebyzero | Uh...lemme see. I ran the lspci command, but I can't find the chipset... | 05:32 |
| Commissar_Mo | Hello - I have been having massive issues with Kubuntu (Resolution keeps resetting upon logout, tried all the online solutions without solving... | 05:32 |
| Caimlas_ | Lartza_, ok, I know/realize that. but the dev packages I mention do not appear to be in the repositories. | 05:32 |
| lstarnes | Caimlas_: they may have different names | 05:33 |
| Jordan_U | dividebyzero: If you pastebin the output from lspci we can find the chipset | 05:33 |
| Commissar_Mo | all I'm wondering is this: Will this problem 'go away' if I use Ubuntu? | 05:33 |
| Lartza_ | Caimlas_: Let me see... | 05:33 |
| zonedfull | bobertdos: I can now remember how the issue was with the flash player ..but what was the problem with the Java how did we solve it do you remember, cause I think I got that problem also on an other PC with Ubuntu...to run the bank id applet with JAVA..Can u shortly describe me what is important to remember to get Java working fully | 05:33 |
| Caimlas_ | Lartza_, I'm using jaunty multiverse and universe | 05:33 |
| lstarnes | cms-affla: what is http://repo.moblin.org/moblin/releases/test/beta/images/moblin-netbook-ux-beta-20090518-004.img doing in there? | 05:33 |
| Khisanth | Caimlas_: do you know the name of the .h files that you are missing? | 05:33 |
| dividebyzero | Alright, one sec... | 05:33 |
| lstarnes | cms-affla: it appears to be a disk image, not an apt repository | 05:33 |
| Caimlas_ | Khisanth, let me pastebin relevant info | 05:34 |
| Lartza_ | Caimlas_: I see what you mean now... | 05:35 |
| kennyyu | hi there, i can sftp/ssh in between 2 machines. the only thing that i cannot do is to 'ping' in between two. what should i do to enable the ping? | 05:35 |
| zonedfull | bobertdos: The reason Im asking is cause I had to reboot my PC u remember and after that I lost where we solved that Java | 05:35 |
| dividebyzero | Jordan_U: hang on, I got the link here. | 05:35 |
| Caimlas_ | Khisanth, I don't know what the header files are, but they're: #include <QtCore/QFile> #include <QtCore/QTextStream> #include <QtGui/QTextEdit> | 05:35 |
| Caimlas_ | Lartza_, what's up with that? :P | 05:35 |
| dividebyzero | Dammit, I'm new to IRC too apparently... | 05:35 |
| lstarnes | kennyyu: one of the machines might be blocking icmp echo requests | 05:36 |
| dividebyzero | http://pastebin.com/m310994fa | 05:36 |
| Commissar_Mo | I am having a resolution problem in KUBUNTU - if I just uninstall and do UBUNTU - should this problem in theory go away? | 05:36 |
| cms-affla | lstnares: it is a custom moblin dist upgrade to integrade moblin with ubuntu | 05:36 |
| Lartza_ | Caimlas_: Have you tried installing libqt4-dev? That might have all the dev files | 05:36 |
| bobertdos | zonedfull: The most important thing to remember about pretty much all plugins in Linux is that multiple versions of the same plugin really butt heads -- they don't get along at all. So you always just want one version a plugin installed. With Java, the main problem was that there were broken pieces of both version 5 and 6 and they were causing conflicts. | 05:36 |
| kennyyu | lstarnes: yes. so 'sudo ufw enable icmp' suffices? | 05:36 |
| lstarnes | cms-affla: you cannot use a disk image in sources.list | 05:36 |
| dividebyzero | Theres my pastebin. | 05:36 |
| cms-affla | lstnares: I had it but it broke and when updated the package it broke | 05:36 |
| lstarnes | kennyyu: I'm not sure | 05:36 |
| zonedfull | YEs.,... | 05:36 |
| Caimlas_ | Lartza_, that's installed already. :-/ | 05:36 |
| zonedfull | That was the issue.... | 05:36 |
| cms-affla | lstnares: it was working for updates, but so i should delete it? | 05:36 |
| lstarnes | kennyyu: I don't recall it being blocked by default, but I use iptables directly instead of using ufw | 05:37 |
| Jordan_U | kennyyu: Ubuntu replys to icmp echo requests by default | 05:37 |
| zonedfull | bobertdos: What Java package shall be innstalled... | 05:37 |
| Lartza_ | Caimlas_: Have you tried doing the thing you need it for? | 05:37 |
| lstarnes | cms-affla: if it's not an apt deb repository, you can't use it | 05:37 |
| kennyyu | Jordan_U: ya but i'm using the AMI instances provided by Amazon | 05:37 |
| Lartza_ | Caimlas_: And it whines about it? | 05:37 |
| Caimlas_ | Lartza_, it does. | 05:37 |
| dividebyzero | God, I'm such a newbie. | 05:37 |
| Khisanth | Caimlas_: libqt4-dev | 05:37 |
| cms-affla | lstnares; so it was a bug that made it work the first few times? | 05:38 |
| Lartza_ | Khisanth: Doesn't work | 05:38 |
| lstarnes | cms-affla: it may have just ignored it | 05:38 |
| kennyyu | lstarnes: i'm pastebin'ing my iptable for you to have a look. do you mind it? ;) | 05:38 |
| Crash1hd | umm this is odd I dont have add/remove anymore? | 05:38 |
| bobertdos | zonedfull: sun-java6-plugin (for firefox) which will bring sun-java6-jre with it as a dependency. | 05:38 |
| lstarnes | kennyyu: I'm not that good with iptables | 05:38 |
| Khisanth | you might want to reinstall that package then ... http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/i386/libqt4-dev/filelist | 05:38 |
| zonedfull | bobertdos: what did we version install...at the end... | 05:38 |
| Khisanth | Lartza_: and check your include paths :) | 05:38 |
| kennyyu | lstarnes: never mind ;) | 05:38 |
| lstarnes | kennyyu: the output from sudo iptables-save should be sufficient | 05:38 |
| funnyman | Jordan_U, you're stil there? I finished fsck from Live Ubuntu, now when i reboot, it goes straight to BusyBox with a useless (to me) list of commands, pls help | 05:38 |
| cms-affla | lstnares: i had moblin, openbox, ubuntu, kubuntu, and freedos before it broke now it is just ubuntu | 05:38 |
| gogereaver1 | does anyone know if there going to keep doing ubuntu moblin remix | 05:38 |
| bobertdos | zonedfull: 6 | 05:38 |
| Lartza_ | Khisanth: HE should check, not my problem :) | 05:39 |
| cms-affla | lstnares: lol now im confused as to how to restore the integrated desktop | 05:39 |
| Khisanth | oh right | 05:39 |
| Khisanth | getting mixed up | 05:39 |
| zonedfull | bobertdos: So the only java that should be needed for normal install is the Sun java6 plugin | 05:39 |
| Jordan_U | funnyman: For some reason your root file system still can't be mounted | 05:39 |
| Lartza_ | It happens | 05:39 |
| lstarnes | cms-affla: I don't know either | 05:39 |
| Khisanth | but those files are in the package ... | 05:39 |
| dividebyzero | Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/m310994fa, theres the pastebin. | 05:39 |
| Caimlas_ | larsig, Khisanth: apt-file search QTextEdit says it should be at /usr/include/qt4/QtGui/QTextEdit - and it is (libqt4-dev -is- installed). However, kdevelop is complaining. | 05:39 |
| Pulledteeth | Ubuntu does not detect USB storage devices after it's been running for a bit of time. It sees it in lsusb, but not block device is created/detected, and it's not showing up in fdisk. Anyone got any advice? | 05:39 |
| bobertdos | zonedfull: yes, because the rest of them will get installed automatically along side it | 05:39 |
| cms-affla | lstnares: thanks it works! | 05:39 |
| Caimlas_ | er, Lartza_ | 05:39 |
| Khisanth | so this is just kdevelop being stupid :) | 05:40 |
| Commissar_Mo | Resolution issues in Kubuntu that I can't solve despite hours of trying - I'm wondering if, given the similarity, it's worth it to try Ubuntu and hope they go away - is this reasonable? | 05:40 |
| Khisanth | you'll probably want a kdevelop channel | 05:40 |
| Lartza_ | Caimlas_: And check your includes | 05:40 |
| cms-affla | lstnares: hey btw is there a exchange server for ubuntu, like as to H.D. reg's | 05:40 |
| imnichol | ...could anyone give me a hint about how to connect to another server? | 05:40 |
| kennyyu | lstarnes: http://paste.ubuntu.com/276768/ | 05:40 |
| Caimlas_ | Khisanth, so it would appear. :-/ dbg is saying there's no Makefile, and in my rush I missed that initially. :-/ I'd have expected automagic makeing :P | 05:40 |
| lstarnes | cms-affla: I don't knw | 05:40 |
| lstarnes | *know | 05:40 |
| lstarnes | cms-affla: I think that there are various mail servers for ubuntu | 05:41 |
| Commissar_Mo | wow | 05:41 |
| Khisanth | and /usr/include/qt4 is probably NOT in your default include path unless you are using some sort of "create qt4 project" option in kdevelop | 05:41 |
| funnyman | Jordan_U, i'm dead, right? | 05:41 |
| imnichol | CONNECT irc.gimp.org | 05:41 |
| Commissar_Mo | is my question, like, offensive or something? | 05:41 |
| imnichol | .....crap, that didn't work | 05:42 |
| Jordan_U | funnyman: Probably, boot from the liveCD and see if you can still mount the partition | 05:42 |
| === spacepigeon is now known as Wolter | ||
| cms-affla | lstnares: I am hoping to compose a project for other than mail via the grouping of multi use source.. and hopefully either co-relay with iana or such if possible for dm reg and or the Inf tech Owners / reg of iana | 05:42 |
| Khisanth | Commissar_Mo: 6 people responding with "we don't know" is probably not useful going to be anymore useful :) | 05:43 |
| Commissar_Mo | I agree, but usually 1 person at least says, 'no one here knows' otherwise I make the easy assumption that Linux people are just annoyed to be asked a simple question and ignore me... | 05:43 |
| Commissar_Mo | but ok | 05:44 |
| gnychis | does anyone here use an X300 thinkpad? | 05:44 |
| Pulledteeth | Commissar_Mo, did you install the nvidia driver and everything? | 05:44 |
| bullgard4 | I am going to import my Evolution addressbook to Thunderbird. Thunderbird's import wizard > Import Address Book has an line 'Record data to import=id". What does this 'id' (identifier) mean in Thunderbird's addressbook? | 05:44 |
| Curly_Q | Commissar please ask me the question? :) | 05:44 |
| Commissar_Mo | I have onboard GPU, which is probably part of the issue, it's drivers are updated (2004!) | 05:44 |
| zonedfull | bobertdos: But when I f.example search in the synaptic after f.ex sun-java-plugin (for firefox) I get almost 50 packets of different things how can I now in the future what to innstall...shall I look after .bin file or what? | 05:44 |
| lstarnes | kennyyu: it looks like it's at least accepting some icmp messages | 05:44 |
| lstarnes | kennyyu: I forget the number assigned to echo | 05:45 |
| Khisanth | and you don't need to reinstall, you can just try it with the livecd | 05:45 |
| Commissar_Mo | I'm having resolution issues in Kubuntu (it resets upon login) and after 12 hours, I don't really care to fix it anymore... I'm just wondering if a switch to Ubuntu will likely give me the same thing | 05:45 |
| Commissar_Mo | seeing as the delta is mostly in the GUI part | 05:45 |
| Khisanth | actually you can just install gnome as well | 05:45 |
| Pulledteeth | Commissar_Mo, that sounds like an xorg.conf issue :o (Does ubuntu use xorg.conf anymore?) | 05:46 |
| Khisanth | given the particular problem switching between Ubuntu and Kubuntu is not likely to change anything | 05:46 |
| Commissar_Mo | ahh | 05:46 |
| Commissar_Mo | ok that's what I was wondering | 05:46 |
| bobertdos | zonedfull: the package is specifically named sun-java6-plugin. I recommend using sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin. | 05:46 |
| Khisanth | Pulledteeth: yes ... at least 9.04 still does | 05:46 |
| Jordan_U | dividebyzero: If you run "iwlist scan" do you see a "wlan0" ? | 05:46 |
| Jordan_U | Pulledteeth: Ubuntu doesn't need an xorg.conf any more but it still honors one if it's there | 05:47 |
| Khisanth | Commissar_Mo: it also looks like a solvable problem :) | 05:47 |
| Curly_Q | Commissar it almost but not sure that it might be a screen saver issue in which that would be the only logical time issue for any resolution problem. | 05:47 |
| sancas | http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/9853/pantallazoth.jpg | 05:47 |
| Kingtiger01 | ok... well i need to get back to work... Good Night/Day to you all. | 05:47 |
| Khisanth | either something is not writing a file it should be or something is writing a file it shouldn't be ... | 05:47 |
| Commissar_Mo | most of the online help seems to revolve around editing a resolution preferences file, but I've failed so far to get their solns to work | 05:47 |
| jamieleshaw | Hello, I have a WinFast DTV 2000 H, and require assistance configuring it. ;) | 05:47 |
| kennyyu | lstarnes: it's 8... http://www.networksorcery.com/enp/protocol/icmp/msg8.htm | 05:48 |
| zonedfull | bobertdos: What can happen if someone f.ex in synaptic takes the wrong one f.ex the sun-java6-plugn.bin file | 05:48 |
| zonedfull | bobertdos: And try to install that one..will it still be innstalled | 05:49 |
| Gracenotes | Commissar_Mo: didn't see above.. are you dealing with HP mininote 2133? | 05:49 |
| Commissar_Mo | no, it's Averatec, onboard GPU | 05:49 |
| Commissar_Mo | 2004 driver, latest :( | 05:50 |
| bobertdos | zonedfull It probably would, but that's why I like using the terminal, so it's easier to use specific package names. | 05:50 |
| Gracenotes | ah. I had problems with drivers and xorg.conf in my mininote until recently, when I installed Ubuntu 9.04 and it more or less just magically fixed everything | 05:50 |
| Jordan_U | funnyman: Have you tried mounting from the liveCD again yet? | 05:50 |
| Commissar_Mo | really... ok I've been debating such a move - I might try Ubuntu then - thank you | 05:51 |
| funnyman | Jordan_U: i can list the files in the partitions now ;) | 05:51 |
| funnyman | Jordan_U: i'm trying to reboot again... | 05:51 |
| Jordan_U | funnyman: Write down the error message just before the busybox shell if it fails again | 05:52 |
| Gracenotes | it is probably just that Ubuntu 9.04 and my drivers matched up right, for my specific laptop. not sure how Kubuntu differs from Ubuntu in the driver department... | 05:52 |
| Commissar_Mo | ok | 05:52 |
| Pulledteeth | Ubuntu does not detect USB storage devices after it's been running for a bit of time. It sees it in lsusb, but not block device is created/detected, and it's not showing up in fdisk. (If I restart, it all works again. dmesg says something about assigning an adress 7 to my thumb drive. But I only have 4 ports.) Anyone got any advice? | 05:53 |
| ubuntugeek | I have a cheapy logetek webcam how do I get it to work on ubuntu and skype? | 05:53 |
| zonedfull | bobertdos: Ok last question is usually all packages that shall be installed in Ubuntu ended with "plugin"? | 05:53 |
| funnyman | Jordan_U: no error messages, the loading Ubuntu image (running left-right) appeared and then it jumped right away to the BusyBox | 05:54 |
| Curly_Q | Commissar have you done a: top command to see what functions are running when this change happens? | 05:54 |
| Jordan_U | Pulledteeth: Can you check if udev is still running when you have this problem ?( sudo invoke-rc.d udev status ) | 05:54 |
| Randy_ | so i have a wg511t wireless card and i cant connect to any networks, no networks even show up. What can I do about this? | 05:54 |
| Pulledteeth | Jordan_U, invoke-rc.d: initscript udev, action "status" failed. | 05:55 |
| Randy_ | I get SIOCSIFADDR: No such device if i do dhclient ath0 | 05:55 |
| Commissar_Mo | I don't know what that is... | 05:55 |
| bobertdos | zonedfull: Eh, not really. In terms of the community and multiverse packages, there aren't many naming conventions. I sometimes think it would be easier if there were naming conventions, but there are not. | 05:55 |
| gOLDfeesh | is there a reason as to why everything goes to 2.6.28.10 if I'm running 2.6.28-15-generic? when I install modules it goes to 2.6.28.10 | 05:55 |
| ubuntugeek | I have a cheapy logetek webcam how do I get it to work on ubuntu and skype? | 05:55 |
| Curly_Q | Look up the command prompt < top > and watch when the command of the program changes. | 05:55 |
| Jordan_U | funnyman: Ok, can you pastebin the output from "blkid" and the contents of your menu.lst? | 05:56 |
| Commissar_Mo | ok thanks | 05:56 |
| zonedfull | bobertdos: Ok Thanks a lot...I learned a bit today of this... | 05:56 |
| Randy_ | anyone know what i can do? | 05:56 |
| Jordan_U | Pulledteeth: Try "pgrep udev" if it returns a number then udev is running | 05:56 |
| zonedfull | bobertdos: Im grateful | 05:56 |
| zonedfull | BYE ALL | 05:56 |
| Pulledteeth | yep, s'running. | 05:56 |
| ubuntugeek | I have a cheapy logetek webcam how do I get it to work on ubuntu and skype? | 05:56 |
| Gracenotes | hm, does Ubuntu have a way to modify the screen-unlocking password? or is it invariably the user's password? | 05:56 |
| Pulledteeth | Jordan_U, yep s'running | 05:56 |
| zonedfull | And see ya....and by the way here you get exellent supprt | 05:56 |
| zonedfull | bye | 05:57 |
| Randy_ | ? | 05:57 |
| Gracenotes | I tend to dislike typing passwords in public as much as possible :) | 05:57 |
| bobertdos | zonedfull: bye\ | 05:57 |
| Jordan_U | Pulledteeth: And are usb drives currently being mounted ? | 05:57 |
| Gracenotes | I couldn't find anything in gconf about it | 05:57 |
| shachaf | Gracenotes: When you say screen-unlocking, do you mean GNU screen or the GUI thing? | 05:57 |
| Pulledteeth | Jordan_U, not currently, no. | 05:57 |
| shachaf | Gracenotes: Ah. | 05:57 |
| Curly_Q | Gracenotes, | 05:57 |
| Gracenotes | yes, I have my laptop configured so that when I close the lid, it does into screen-lock mode | 05:57 |
| Curly_Q | Root has absolute access to passwords. | 05:57 |
| Gracenotes | goes | 05:57 |
| kj4 | is there a python-wannbe channel? | 05:58 |
| Curly_Q | If you are in a SHELL ACCOUNT then the user is the one who can change the password, but the Administrator has and can change the password. | 05:58 |
| lstarnes | Curly_Q: in most systems, passwords are encrypted and only the encrypted form is stored | 05:59 |
| lstarnes | Curly_Q: it's often a one-way hash | 05:59 |
| shachaf | Curly_Q: Gracenotes is asking about the password used to unlock the screen can be different from the one used to log in. | 05:59 |
| Gracenotes | I am fine with my account's password, which I set. I am fine with the root password, which I also set. It would be nice if there were a way to set a screen unlock password separate from either of those, whereas the default behavior doesn't seem to have this | 05:59 |
| Curly_Q | True, but, but that can be thwarted with some software with Linux and decrypt those 128 bit passwords. | 06:00 |
| Jordan_U | Pulledteeth: Try "sudo invoke-rc.d udev refresh-devices" and if that doesn't work "sudo invoke-rc.d udev restart" ( might make you lose network connection ) | 06:00 |
| shachaf | Gracenotes: At worst you could use another screen-locking program. | 06:01 |
| Curly_Q | Shachaf, it all depends upon the software being used. If the password for a user account is different from the screensaver password, it look as if this person wants a hack to get into the system and I personally say not a chance. | 06:02 |
| Gracenotes | hm. true. it would need to be hooked into gnome somehow | 06:02 |
| Jyxt | need some help...fresh install of xubuntu 9.04, did sudo apt-get install mozilla-mplayer | 06:02 |
| Pulledteeth | Jordan_U, nope. Did screw up my battery widget though :o | 06:02 |
| Jyxt | so i can watch the trailers at apple.com...click a trailer and firefox crashes | 06:02 |
| shachaf | Gracenotes: ...He's asking if *he* can change the password used for unlocking the screensaver. | 06:02 |
| Jyxt | is mozilla-mplayer not the right way to view quicktime content? | 06:02 |
| shachaf | s/Gracenotes/Curly_Q/ | 06:02 |
| funnyman | Jordan_U: http://pastebin.org/22948 i can't find menu.lst | 06:03 |
| shachaf | Gracenotes: Well, I've used xlock for a simpler locking program, in the past. | 06:03 |
| Curly_Q | There is no way to unlock a password if you don't have the original password. | 06:03 |
| Gracenotes | particularly, the lid-close trigger | 06:03 |
| shachaf | Curly_Q: That's not what he's asking. | 06:03 |
| shachaf | Curly_Q: He *knows* his user password. For security (or whatever) reasons, he wants to use a different password to unlock the screensaver. | 06:04 |
| Pulledteeth | Jordan_U, yeah; no dice. | 06:04 |
| Gracenotes | I should be clear, every in this computer is under my data jurisdiction (lol haruhi). no one else uses it. I'd like to diversify the passwords I use, i.e. use less sensitive ones in common public situations, like unlocking screens | 06:04 |
| Gracenotes | everything | 06:04 |
| shachaf | Gracenotes: Do you never log in in public? | 06:04 |
| Gracenotes | I do, with less frequency than the other | 06:05 |
| shachaf | Gracenotes: I'd think that it would make sense for both to be the same. After all, they can both be used if you leave your computer unattended. | 06:05 |
| Curly_Q | Then he needs to go into ROOT access and over-ride the original password for the screen saver or just delete the program and re-install it and change the password. | 06:05 |
| Jordan_U | funnyman: It's on /dev/sda7 | 06:05 |
| Gracenotes | it would just be nice if it were easily possible, I would certainly do it. | 06:05 |
| shachaf | Curly_Q: OK, he's asking if that's possible. | 06:06 |
| shachaf | Since it doesn't seem to be easily possible, at least. | 06:06 |
| Gracenotes | I remember from Window 98 days, there was a separate screensaver password. I'm not sure if that feature is still around in windows... I think they just go straight to the login screen | 06:06 |
| Curly_Q | Yes!!! it is possible if he has root access. | 06:06 |
| shachaf | Curly_Q: OK, explain, then. :-) | 06:06 |
| Myrtti | please don't enable root access just for having a different screensaver password | 06:07 |
| Myrtti | it's even worse security | 06:07 |
| Curly_Q | I don't need to explain. If one has root access, then, that is explanation enough. | 06:07 |
| Sakara | Hi just installed a ubuntu 9.04 desktop i386 when I boot I get "GRUB " printed on my screen over and over again any ideas. tried reinstalling grub twice now no change? | 06:07 |
| shachaf | Myrtti: That's not what he's asking! | 06:08 |
| shachaf | Sigh... | 06:08 |
| shachaf | Myrtti: He has one password for root, another password for his user, and he wants a *third* password for unlocking the screensaver. | 06:08 |
| Gracenotes | from a technical point of view, it would work, but would go against the original motivation of doing it in the first place ;) | 06:08 |
| Myrtti | right, so good luck with that root password. *walks away* | 06:08 |
| shachaf | Myrtti: Huh? | 06:09 |
| Myrtti | !noroot | 06:09 |
| ubottu | We do not support having a root password set. See !root and !wfm for more information. | 06:09 |
| Myrtti | !rootsudo | 06:09 |
| ubottu | 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) | 06:09 |
| funnyman | Jordan_U: http://pastebin.org/22954 | 06:09 |
| shachaf | Myrtti: OK, don't support it. | 06:09 |
| Curly_Q | You cannot change a password in any OS or any network or any system or any anything without knowing what the processes that were initialized in the first place. | 06:09 |
| Jordan_U | Gracenotes: You might be able to do it by running gnome-screensaver as a different user | 06:09 |
| funnyman | Jordan_U: that's my menu.lst | 06:09 |
| shachaf | Myrtti: It has nothing to do with the problem at hand. | 06:09 |
| xorwhy | with regard to the alternative screen saver password, i imagine the benefit is to keep an onlooker from acquiring the password visually | 06:09 |
| Gracenotes | thank you for those.. uh.. completely irrelevant factoids | 06:09 |
| shachaf | xorwhy: Yes! | 06:10 |
| xorwhy | i think its a good idea, my solution to the onlooker problem is to have a separate xmodmap file for the login page, only I know what the corresponding characters are | 06:10 |
| shachaf | Gracenotes: I apologize if I'm acting a bit too much as a spokesperson. | 06:10 |
| funnyman | Jordan_U: Any sunshine, pls don't tell me no | 06:10 |
| Gracenotes | Jordan_U: hm, would that require typing in the other user's password first, in order to run gnome-screensaver? | 06:10 |
| shachaf | xorwhy: What, you actually use a different keyboard layout? | 06:11 |
| === Niko_ is now known as Guest75321 | ||
| Curly_Q | In any case, if a person changes the password on anything without reading the manual on the HOWTO then no one can help them. | 06:11 |
| xorwhy | shacha, for gdm yes, and it is not a known map, its a pretty useful map for anything else im sure | 06:11 |
| xorwhy | useless | 06:11 |
| Jordan_U | Gracenotes: Yes, but only once ( though I have never tried this myself and don't know if running gnome-screensaver as a different user would even work ) | 06:11 |
| xorwhy | I would like to have a different password for gdm login, selected randomly, with an indicator on the gdm wallpaper of which password it is | 06:12 |
| Jordan_U | funnyman: Try booting into "recovery mode" and look for an error about mounting root file system before the busybox shell comes up | 06:13 |
| funnyman | okie | 06:13 |
| Curly_Q | In fact, I am willing to bet that this folk did not write down on paper the password and just plain forgot it. | 06:13 |

| ryguy | omg that was supposed to be on one line sorry guys | 06:15 |
| ryguy | but what I was gettin at is are any of those important | 06:15 |
| shachaf | ryguy: For whom? | 06:15 |
| Gracenotes | ryguy: you are getting all your software from the main ubuntu server, right? | 06:15 |
| shachaf | ryguy: I wouldn't want to uninstall those, at least. :-) | 06:15 |
| Curly_Q | What to do in this case is to find the file that has the password and delete it from root. Then open up the software and enter a new password. | 06:15 |
| ryguy | gracenotes: yeah, shacaf: all I want to do is install vlc | 06:16 |
| Gracenotes | I've tried using alternate software sources before. it turned into a huge effing mess :( | 06:16 |
| shachaf | ryguy: I have both fakeroot and vlc installed at the same time, though, so something is wrong. | 06:16 |
| Rosey | how do i update firefox | 06:16 |
| Sakara | fresh install 9.04 desktop i386, when it boots gets to where the grub menu should appear but the screen is filled with "GRUB " over and and over again? any ideas on a fix | 06:16 |
| Curly_Q | It is best done from ROOT. | 06:16 |
| ryguy | shachaf, should I just try to install it from source? or what? | 06:16 |
| Gracenotes | Rosey: there are different packages for firefox-3.0 and firefox-3.5 | 06:17 |
| shachaf | Sakara: Google says http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/grub-error-guide.xml | 06:17 |
| shachaf | ryguy: Um, which package exactly does it conflict with | 06:17 |
| shachaf | ? | 06:17 |
| edulacomadreja | someone there with some experince on drbd? | 06:17 |
| ryguy | shachaf: I'm not sure, all I know is that it has that huge list of what will be removed | 06:17 |
| musikgoat | !shiretoko | rosey | 06:18 |

| firecrotch | Jyxt: The journey is the most important part of the Linux experience :) | 06:19 |
| shachaf | ryguy: What does vlc conflict with? It looks like it's just vlc-nox to me. | 06:19 |
| timClicks | I have a single hdd in my laptop, I would like to be able to simply create an image of the disk and archive it on a (much larger) external hdd | 06:19 |
| Sakara | thanks shachaf | 06:19 |
| Jyxt | running xubuntu 9.04 firefox 3.0...ive tried totem plugins, gstreamer, mplayer...none of them work, closest ive gotten is the mplayer plugin | 06:19 |
| Sakara | will look into the bios issue | 06:19 |
| Jyxt | least its *trying* to load now | 06:19 |
| DasEi | timClicks: easy by dd | 06:19 |
| Jyxt | DasEi: apple.com/trailers/ | 06:19 |
| Jyxt | none of them work | 06:19 |
| timClicks | and also have cron backup my /home/ partition periodically | 06:19 |
| jimbeam12 | hey | 06:19 |
| jimbeam12 | need some advise here | 06:19 |
| voidmage | butts | 06:19 |
| timClicks | DasEi: danke, will have a look | 06:19 |
| voidmage | whoops | 06:19 |
| voidmage | bad script | 06:19 |
| Jyxt | now im at the point where firefox at least knows it has the right plugin...and i get a stuttered stop/play for about 30 seconds then it just stops | 06:20 |
| jimbeam12 | cannot access my grub/menu.lst file | 06:20 |
| xorwhy | is there a way to pipe grep to lspci to have lspci show only pattern matching devices? | 06:20 |
| Jyxt | no video, no sound, nothing | 06:20 |
| Jyxt | this was *SO* much easier to figure out in gentoo | 06:20 |
| musikgoat | xorwhy: lspci | grep foo | 06:20 |
| xorwhy | thank you musikgoat | 06:20 |
| funnyman | Jordan_U: it prints a whole lot of lines, which i can't go to the first because it was truncated. Anywya, a few meaning full messages i can see are: "sda:<4> Driver 'sr' needs updaing - please use bus_type methods" . 2. "ext3-fs mounted file sytem with ordered datamode." and ... the last line is "target filesystem doesn't have /sbin/init" | 06:20 |

| shachaf | ryguy: Yes, you said that. It doesn't say very much... | 06:21 |
| shachaf | ryguy: Does `apt-cache show vlc` say it conflicts with something? | 06:21 |
| Jordan_U | funnyman: Ok, that means that the reason it won't boot is because of files lost | 06:21 |
| ryguy | It doesnt say anything thing about conflicts, it just says Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them. | 06:21 |
| musikgoat | ryguy: that just means you can uninstall them with apt-get autoclean | 06:21 |
| Jordan_U | funnyman: Back up your own important data and reinstall :( | 06:21 |
| jimbeam12 | yah done fdisk -l | 06:21 |
| shachaf | Oh! I misread. | 06:22 |
| funnyman | Jordan_U: :( | 06:22 |
| musikgoat | ryguy: did you want those packages? | 06:22 |
| Jordan_U | funnyman: Also check that the disk is not bad, don't want to re-install just for it to happen again | 06:22 |
| timClicks | DasEi: looks good | 06:22 |
| ryguy | shachaf: Conflicts: vlc-nox (<< 0.9.2-1) | 06:22 |
| timClicks | DasEi: thanks | 06:22 |
| ryguy | musikgoat: I dunno what those packages are lol | 06:22 |
| shachaf | ryguy: It means exactly what it says. | 06:22 |
| jimbeam12 | help cant access my grub menu.lst | 06:23 |
| ryguy | so I should uninstall vlc-nox? | 06:23 |
| shachaf | ryguy: Those "packages were automatically installed and are no longer required". | 06:23 |
| shachaf | ryguy: No, it's not installed. | 06:23 |
| musikgoat | ryguy: those are mostly helper packages that make software work with other software | 06:23 |
| funnyman | Jordan_U: okay, thanks a lot for your patient help. I think i should go now | 06:23 |
| shachaf | ryguy: You'll get that message no matter what you install. | 06:23 |
| Jordan_U | funnyman: np | 06:23 |
| ryguy | this is the only thing that has given me that message though | 06:23 |
| DasEi | timClicks: best is to define an own partition on the big hd, to not loose the remaining space , same size or little bigger then the internal | 06:23 |
| Rosey | thanks how about itunes. i tried to use win but it fails... | 06:23 |
| Tr3N_ | a | 06:24 |
| jimbeam12 | i ge to here: sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sda5 /mnt | 06:24 |
| Jordan_U | Jyxt: What plugin did you use in Gentoo? | 06:24 |
| jimbeam12 | then i type in :gksudo gedit /mnt/boot/grub/menu.lst | 06:24 |
| jimbeam12 | and i get an empty file... | 06:24 |
| musikgoat | jimbeam12: are you running karmic? | 06:25 |
| shachaf | jimbeam12: Maybe that file is empty, then? | 06:25 |
| Jyxt | Jordan_U: gecko...replacement for mplayer | 06:25 |
| jimbeam12 | its saying drive already mounted | 06:25 |
| jimbeam12 | no juanty | 06:25 |
| Jyxt | quicktime plays fine on the gentoo laptop, but the fresh ubuntu desktop has been giving me hell | 06:25 |
| jimbeam12 | jauntuy | 06:25 |
| BlackFate | jimbeam12, you try to mount an already mounted partition | 06:25 |
| Jordan_U | Jyxt: Have you tried that in Ubuntu? | 06:26 |
| Jyxt | first thing i did was try the gecko plugin | 06:26 |
| musikgoat | Jyxt: sorry if you've mentioned it, but have you checked into ubuntu-restricted-extras package? | 06:26 |
| jimbeam12 | so how do i do it then blackfate | 06:26 |
| BlackFate | jimbeam12, mount | grep /dev/sda5 | 06:26 |
| pete_ | what would a command be to remove any file from a directory that does not end in .mp3, including the folders those files were in? | 06:26 |
| BlackFate | jimbeam12, do this and give the output | 06:26 |
| xorwhy | if the command lspci -k is entered, and a properly detected device is listed without a driver, does that mean the device has no driver? | 06:26 |
| Jyxt | musikgoat: yes | 06:27 |
| DasEi | Jyxt:could that be shockwave ? | 06:27 |
| DasEi | !shockwave | 06:27 |
| jimbeam12 | ok done blackfate | 06:27 |
| ubottu | Shockwave is currently only available for Windows. To run it under !Wine, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Shockwave | 06:27 |
| mint | how do I share internet? Getting internet from wifi and will share on wired LAN? | 06:27 |
| BlackFate | jimbeam12, give me the output | 06:27 |
| Jyxt | DasEi: shockwave at an apple site? no its definatly quicktime | 06:27 |
| musikgoat | DasEi: i would think its quicktime | 06:27 |
| DasEi | Jyxt: fast workaround : use a plugin and dowload it to hd , then watch | 06:28 |
| Jyxt | Jordan_U: mplayer plugins crash firefox, gecko plugins stutter on load, then stop after 30 seconds...no vide/audio etc and the totem plugins dont even work | 06:28 |
| Jordan_U | mint: In System > Preferences > Networking Add a new profile for the wired connection called "Share Internet" ( or whatever you want ) and in the ipv4 settings choose "Shared" | 06:28 |

| ubu_nub | mint: consider a proxy like squid for web or figure out netcat | 06:29 |
| BlackFate | Jyxt, apple made some changes and only with quicktime they will play... | 06:29 |
| BlackFate | Jyxt, in order to play em with gecko | 06:29 |
| DasEi | Jyxt, musikgoat my ff plays other quicktime fine, but at there I just get an empty black window | 06:29 |
| BlackFate | Jyxt, install useragent changer plugin for firefox | 06:29 |
| BlackFate | Jyxt, and change yout useragent to Quicktime... google it | 06:29 |
| Jyxt | blackfate thanks, will try it | 06:30 |

| musikgoat | Jordan_U: its a new quicktime transport stream, as far as i understand | 06:33 |

| BlackFate | Jordan_U, you got to change your useragent | 06:33 |
| Rosey | Sorry I'm completely new to Linux lol | 06:34 |
| BlackFate | Jordan_U, try this wget -U QuickTime/7.6.2 http://movies.apple.com/movies/universal/couplesretreat/couplesretreat-clip_h320.mov | 06:34 |
| Jordan_U | BlackFate: To what, apparently it needs to be changed in the browser plugin as well | 06:34 |

| BlackFate | jimbeam12, i c... i used to have same prob | 06:39 |
| Xgates | ubu_nub: I have whatever Ubuntu installs by default | 06:39 |
| Xgates | I believe that's 4.3 | 06:39 |
| ubu_nub | export CC=gcc-4.3 | 06:39 |
| jimbeam12 | is theire a solution to that blackfate.. | 06:39 |

| jimbeam12 | i mean startup manager screws everything when i try that | 06:40 |
| BlackFate | try rebuilding menu.lst | 06:40 |
| jimbeam12 | rebuilding ?? how | 06:40 |
| ubu_nub | xgates there is probably a better way but try: dpkg -S gcc | 06:40 |

| Xgates | ubu_nub: why are we concentrating on gcc-4.3, it says the kernel was compiled with 4.2, so I thought I need to have 4.2 installed for the Nvidia drivers? | 06:45 |
| Rosey | How do I install iTunes, if not what is the alternative? | 06:45 |
| shachaf | Rosey: There's that thing, I don't remember what it's called. Look in the menu. | 06:45 |
| stwange | I killed gnome-panel to refresh it, and I've lost all the icons on my desktop - how do I get them back? (I've restarted gnome-panel) | 06:45 |
| shachaf | Rosey: (Huh, that may have appeared sarcastic? That was not the intent. I don't run GNOME, so I don't remember.) | 06:45 |
| ubu_nub | xgates: doh. is there a gcc-4.2 available? | 06:45 |
| Rosey | No you're fine, lol | 06:45 |
| Jordan_U | Rosey: There is no way to access the itunes music store in linux but with a virtual machine running windows, there are many good media players though | 06:46 |
| powertool08 | Rosey: I think shachaf is referring to synaptic package manager | 06:46 |
| mint | Curly_Q: yes, I meant Linksys will supply the internetl, netgear will be the one to connect to it wirelessly so it can reroute the internet signal | 06:46 |
| shachaf | powertool08: No, the music player. | 06:46 |
| Xgates | I didn't see any in synaptic but if I want to install it, would I run ---> apt-get gcc-4.2 install? maybe from the cli will work? | 06:46 |
| mint | so how do i get started?] | 06:46 |
| ablmf1 | I installed vsftpd on ubuntu. When I login the ftp from a remote folder, every file and dir's name looks like "moth year real_file name" | 06:47 |

| Eph | hi =) can anyone tell me how I get rid of a previous mdadm configuration so that I get a fresh auto-detect of my raid? I have put in a boot disk from when I had 2 disks in the array, now I have 3 so they dont match. On a fresh install / rescue disc boot I can mount the raid just fine but on this old boot disk I it complains | 06:47 |
| Xgates | k | 06:47 |

| Rosey | Mostly just upload to my iPod Touch | 06:47 |
| Rosey | not to play music | 06:47 |
| Curly_Q | Mint, ONLY ONE router can be the ACCESS POINT if you want to set up what I think you want. That may be your problem. You cannot have both routers as the access point. | 06:48 |
| Jordan_U | !ipod | Rosey | 06:48 |
| ubottu | Rosey: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - For the iPhone and the iPod Touch, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod | 06:48 |
| Rosey | Thank you | 06:49 |
| Jordan_U | Rosey: np | 06:49 |
| Curly_Q | If you do have both routers as the access point then you need to assign them both different IP addresses. | 06:49 |
| mint | Curly_Q: so that's it, thought your suggesting i can do that wirelessly. Anyway that's why i'm asking help to share internet | 06:49 |
| stwange | is there any way to alias hosts on your machine for ssh? Some kind of overriding DNS? eg. so that ssh myserver would replace myserver with the IP? | 06:50 |
| mint | Curly_Q: yes i'm aware of that IP thing | 06:50 |
| slurple | using JJ, when i unplug my laptop, the power profile does not switch to POWERSAVE. WHY NOT? | 06:50 |

| ewp | coolcourt, ah i havent used cakephp in a while. i believe you need to place the js files in /cake/app/www/js (same structure for css) and just link them in your views by localhost/js (localhost/css) | 07:02 |
| ewp | coolcourt, join #cakephp | 07:02 |

| jimbeam12 | how? | 07:09 |
| ubu_nub | ryguy: sudo iftop | 07:09 |
| stwange | can you link me to something Curly_Q? I don't see why a port problem would cause problems if the vpn is connecting and the FQDNs are being resolved - surely it's an issue with my local DNS lookup not updating or something | 07:09 |
| raynob | Curly - I'm pretty sure that the problem is related to my iptables. There's something that I'm not allowing. Do you have any pointers on how to get blockings logged perhaps. Maybe then I should I should be able to figure out what I'm missing. | 07:09 |
| ewp | jimbeam12, the file of your splashimage must be in /boot/grub, or atleast on your /boot partition | 07:09 |

| Curly_Q | JDV are you running a SCSI RAID device? I know the answer. | 07:40 |
| jdv | yea | 07:40 |
| jdv | but no raid setup | 07:40 |
| ScottG | I have an sftp connection and can browse a server in nautilus. When I open a file in gedit it seems to work flawlessly. However, if I open it with gvim nothing seems to happen. Could someone help me out with this? | 07:40 |
| jdv | I removed it | 07:40 |
| jimbeam12 | ive tried this before ..how to retriece the menu.lst file with no luck | 07:40 |
| jimbeam12 | startup manager sucks...lol | 07:40 |
| Curly_Q | So you are running SCSI? | 07:41 |

| jdv | sudo fdisk -l shows my / devide is /dev/sdb2 | 07:42 |
| ewp | jimbeam12, yes startupmanager does suck but i use it for quick editing | 07:42 |
| Curly_Q | You said SCSI but no RAID? | 07:42 |
| jdv | well I had raid when under windows but when I replaced with ubuntu the raid caused install problems so I used the dell utility to remove the raid which fixed it and I never setup it again | 07:43 |
| abhilashm86 | can anyone post output of /var/lib/available and /var/lib/status, i deleted it........... | 07:43 |
| abhilashm86 | how to recover those?? | 07:43 |
| jdv | dell utility is some sort of rom memory thing. | 07:44 |
| Bluey | I can do that abhila -- what's the pastbin url? | 07:44 |
| Curly_Q | JDV did you totally delete the HARD DRIVE of all DATA and have you done a: /MBR | 07:44 |
| DasEi | !paste | Bluey | 07:45 |

| bullgard4 | I am going to import my Evolution addressbook to Thunderbird. Thunderbird's import wizard > Import Address Book has an line 'Record data to import=id". What does this 'id' (identifier) mean in Thunderbird's addressbook? | 07:45 |
| Curly_Q | Actually the command is /fdisk MBR | 07:45 |
| jdv | should I run that? | 07:45 |
| Curly_Q | Don't do that command unless you know what you are doing!!!!!!!! | 07:46 |
| jdv | lol | 07:46 |
| jdv | I dont so I didnt. | 07:46 |
| Curly_Q | Good. | 07:46 |
| DasEi | Kingtiger01: still around ? | 07:46 |
| Curly_Q | I am teaching you a lesson here. | 07:46 |
| Bluey | abhila - I have no /var/lib/available or /var/lib/status | 07:46 |
| jdv | appreciate it.. so how can I mount my fs ? | 07:46 |
| jpds | Bluey: /var/lib/dpkg/ | 07:46 |
| Curly_Q | It is possible that your Master Boot Record is Corrupted. | 07:47 |
| jdv | I used SGD to correct it | 07:47 |
| Bluey | wow that a lot of stuph | 07:47 |
| Curly_Q | How many Operating Systems do you have on your drive in question? | 07:47 |
| jdv | which succeeded.. or so it said, but I get the error http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-223773.html | 07:48 |
| umar | i ran out of space on /home, how do i increase its file size? | 07:48 |
| jdv | just ubuntu 8.1 and 9.1 | 07:48 |
| jdv | dont know why ubuntu 8 is still there but it stayed with 5gb partition after upgrade to jaunty | 07:48 |
| Bluey | umar -- ls -l -t -r then start removing files | 07:49 |
| Curly_Q | UMAR guess what? Re-Install and get a larger hard drive. | 07:49 |
| jdv | so when I do sudo mount -t ext2 /dev/sdb2 /mnt I get | 07:49 |
| Curly_Q | Five Gigs is rediculous in this world of computers. | 07:50 |
| jdv | mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on device, missing blah blah | 07:50 |
| jdv | no my main jaunty has 250gb | 07:50 |
| Garefield | hi everyone i need some help installing my cdma modem on ubuntu 9.04 | 07:50 |
| jdv | which is my os | 07:50 |
| umar | Bluey and Curly_Q, i think it would be better if i can decrease the size of some other partition and increase the size of /home, my file system is saying that 18.5 GB is allocated to /home | 07:50 |
| Curly_Q | Umar, that is true. | 07:51 |
| desperado | I'd like to install the package so I can read mail from commandline ($ mail) - but when I do a "apt-get install mailutils", a lot of other packages are to be installed (eg mysql, exim, ...) which I don't need (I use postfix as mailserver) ... can I have "mail" on commandline wihtout all the other stuff ? | 07:51 |
| jdv | thanks for your help im going to go and connect to my bad system so I can use pastebin | 07:51 |
| Bluey | wow this is taking forever to post | 07:52 |
| Curly_Q | Reduce the size of the partitions. Root is the partition that is important. Next make sure that other partitions are not going to be increased or added to. | 07:52 |
| kiamo | hi all, I recently migrated to ubuntu from windows, and I have to say its pretty good. I just seem to have some media playback problems... My mp3s sometimes skip, and watching videos in flash players online are a bit choppy... Please can anyone point me in the right direction? | 07:52 |
| Bluey | okay I don't remember who wanted /var/lib/dpkg/available but it's here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/276827/ | 07:53 |
| geirha | desperado: mailx | 07:54 |
| Bluey | you need to comment out line 1 and note that I am runnng and amd64 | 07:54 |
| ryguy | hmmm. I make a file called 'test' and in it I have `#!/bin/bash<NEWLINE>echo "hi"` and when im in the terminal in that directory and I run `$ ./test` I get `bash: ./test: Permission denied` | 07:54 |
| umar | Curly_Q, how do i reduce the size of the partitions? is there a interface to select the various partitions, and increase/decrease theier sizes, or do i need to start in recovery mode and carry out the operations from there? or is there some other way? can u point me to how i can change the sizes of the 4 partitions that i have? | 07:54 |
| kiamo | ryguy, have you changed the file permissions to 777, or whatever allows you to execute the file | 07:55 |
| BlackFate | ryguy, does it work with sudo? | 07:55 |
| Xgates | why in the mainline kernels there are TWO headers listed, one called generic and one that is not, it seems like you have to install both... | 07:55 |
| umar | the partitions i have are: 1) /, 2) /boot, 3) /home, and 4) /home/umar/.gvfs | 07:55 |
| Curly_Q | UMAR, just keep in mind that that | 07:56 |
| ryguy | Ahh I got it, I was running `chmod -x ./test` instead of `chmod +x ./test` | 07:56 |
| ryguy | Thanks though | 07:56 |
| Curly_Q | SWAP partition equals or not doubles the your RAM. | 07:56 |
| BlackFate | ok | 07:56 |
| jimbeam12 | hi anyone know how to retriece my menu list | 07:56 |
| jimbeam12 | retrieve grub/menu list | 07:56 |
| Bluey | and here is /var/log/dpkg/status -- http://paste.ubuntu.com/276829/ | 07:57 |
| jimbeam12 | what is the correct procedure | 07:57 |
| umar | Curly_Q, which one of hte 4 is the SWAP partition? | 07:57 |
| Curly_Q | The SWAP partition in Linux is the same as the " CONTIGUOUS" file in Windows. It works the same. | 07:57 |
| jdv | unfortunately I cant install an irc client on my dead system since I cant mount my / | 07:58 |
| jussi01 | Garefield: does the modem not appear in the network manager? | 07:58 |
| Curly_Q | It should say /swap | 07:58 |
| Garefield | no it does not | 07:58 |
| Garefield | but if i do lsusb it is detected | 07:58 |
| djshotglass | http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=5263757 | 07:59 |
| djshotglass | $200 quad core with 2gb ram hmm | 07:59 |
| jussi01 | Garefield: which model is it? | 07:59 |
| se7vn | jimbeam12, you mean you want to edit the grub menu.lst ? | 07:59 |
| Kingtiger01 | *Cringes and the thoughr of TD* | 07:59 |
| umar | Curly_Q, i dont have any partition with name /swap, the four that my System Monitor is showing are: 1) /, 2) /boot, 3) /home, and 4) /home/umar/.gvfs | 07:59 |
| Curly_Q | The only difference is in Windows the SWAP or Contiguous file is not really a partition. However, you can use a separate hard drive with Windows to SWAP files as a contiguous file. it is involved, but you should get the idea. | 08:00 |
| henry8 | do anyone facing problem in installing mysql in ubuntu? | 08:00 |
| ubu_nub | anyone know a way to clean up dpkg? I'm getting a segfault from aptitude/apt-get when trying to do anything. aptitude install foo for instance. | 08:00 |
| umar | Curly_Q, with sizes being: 1)37GB, 2)91MB,3)18.5Gb, and 4)37GB respectively | 08:01 |
| desperado | geirha: mailx also comes with exim ... | 08:01 |
| jimbeam12 | yes se7vn | 08:01 |
| henry8 | I follow the step in http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/how-do-i-enableremote- | 08:01 |
| henry8 | at the 1st installation it works! | 08:01 |
| Curly_Q | The point is that you need to install Ubuntu or any Linux Kernel with a /swap file. | 08:01 |
| ubu_nub | I can't determine if it's the apt utils or the db's | 08:02 |
| th0ger | ubu_nub: aptitude clean (cleans cache) | 08:02 |
| henry8 | after i upgraded to ubuntu 9.0.4, my mysql cannot remote access login already | 08:02 |
| th0ger | ubu_nub: maybe that helps | 08:02 |
| henry8 | may i know, is this a bug? | 08:02 |
| CastilleV | Hey, just a general question, and it does relate to Ubuntu, but if I wanted to make programs for Ubuntu, would it be better to learn C#, Python, or Ruby? | 08:02 |
| tasslehoff | when I plugin my webcamera the pwc driver is chose, but I want to use gspca instead. how can I control this? | 08:02 |
| henry8 | previous ubuntu i use is ubuntu 8 | 08:02 |
| ubu_nub | th0ger: it gives a segfault as well. | 08:02 |
| joaopinto | CastilleV, Python is the prefered language | 08:03 |
| jussi01 | CastilleV: your choice, all of them work... probably best to discuss in #ubuntu-offtopic | 08:03 |
| Curly_Q | CastilleV learn POSIX COMPLIANT C and you will do good if you want to be a good programmer. | 08:03 |
| lolek | hello all, guys i have a problem with pulseaudi pavucontrol - it says connection refused. I checked out the permissions i tried to reload the daemon without any success .. any idea what else i can do ? | 08:03 |
| ubu_nub | th0ger: segfault at cb0af058 ip b7e8b0ff sp bfe47f00 error 5 in libapt-pkg-libc6.8-6.so.4.6.0[b7e56000+bf000] | 08:03 |
| ubu_nub | is what /var/log/messages is giving me. | 08:04 |
| henry8 | annyone know? | 08:04 |
| Curly_Q | POSIX compliancy is a portable C language which works well with UNIX, LINUX, and Windows etc. | 08:04 |
| CastilleV | OK, I notice some programs for *nix aren't very stable, so that does help a little bit. | 08:05 |
| th0ger | ubu_nub: so both apt (and aptitude) is broken. dpkg works? | 08:05 |
| banisterfiend | anyone konw the best way to convert html to markdown? | 08:05 |
| ubu_nub | lets see if it can search. | 08:05 |
| umar | Curly_Q, just googled and found that gparted is a tool for resizing partitions. i need to install it using apt-get, and hopefully it is all straightforward from then on? | 08:06 |
| jussi01 | !pm | Garefield | 08:06 |
| ubottu | Garefield: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. | 08:06 |
| ubu_nub | th0ger: ahhh. ....dpkg-query: parse error, in file `/var/lib/dpkg/status' near line 32760 package `notification-daemon': | 08:06 |
| Garefield | sorry | 08:07 |
| ubu_nub | th0ger: .... `Depends' field, invalid package name `.6': must start with an alphanumeric | 08:07 |
| ubu_nub | thx | 08:07 |
| th0ger | ubu_nub: try to reinstall apt with dpkg. (may the libapt package above). Perhaps dpkg-reconfigure | 08:07 |
| Curly_Q | Lolek there is a PORT BLOCK somewhere there. Or a permissions problem. Or a network IP block on those particular PORTS. | 08:07 |
| lolek | Curly_Q: ok i found the problem | 08:08 |
| ubu_nub | th0ger: yep. let me screw my brain back on. | 08:08 |
| henry8 | henry patiently waiting for respond | 08:08 |
| henry8 | :( | 08:08 |
| Curly_Q | What was the problem? | 08:08 |
| lolek | Curly_Q: i need to run pulseaudio : --system -D --disallow-exit --disallow-module-loading | 08:08 |
| lolek | Curly_Q: after that everything is ok... | 08:08 |
| Curly_Q | Great. | 08:09 |
| lolek | Curly_Q: it's weird... cause, as i remember pulseaudio was designed to be run as normal user... | 08:09 |
| * mekanik waves | 08:10 | |
| darkangel | question, using vlc which would be th ebest format to record/stream something in??? | 08:10 |
| jimbeam12 | anyone know how to edit menu.lst iam on live cd | 08:11 |
| CastilleV | .ogg, right? Its an opensource file extension. | 08:11 |
| Curly_Q | Lolek, as a Network Administrator, I see these problems all of the time. And the main problem and most sought after questions has to do with permissions problems. If you have a shell account, you don't have permissions unless the Network Administrator allows or permits your interactions. | 08:11 |
| lolek | Curly_Q: well i know that but... it's on my local machine... | 08:12 |
| darkangel | is that for the vlc question??? | 08:12 |
| lolek | Curly_Q: and.. i don't thing there is any need of having root perm for playing ... sound o.O | 08:12 |
| * mekanik ponders his very "newbie" questions.... | 08:12 | |
| Curly_Q | With any LINUX or UBUNTU issue ROOT is everything. With permissions, you can control the world of Linux. | 08:13 |
| desperado | I'd like to install the package so I can read mail from commandline ($ mail) - but when I do a "apt-get install mailutils", a lot of other packages are to be installed (eg mysql, exim, ...), mailx comes with exim too - which I don't need (I use postfix as mailserver) ... can I have "mail" on commandline wihtout all the other stuff ? | 08:13 |
| desperado | I'm looking on Google etc too but no luck / no info | 08:13 |
| Kingtiger01 | ROOT = Ultimate-Power | 08:14 |
| Kingtiger01 | with power comes Great responsibility... | 08:14 |
| Curly_Q | Nice point and well taken KingTiger01 <---------------------------< | 08:15 |
| lolek | Curly_Q: but... abot the pulseaudio... it still doesn't solve my problem :D | 08:15 |
| Curly_Q | Try a Wikipedia or a Google on that. | 08:15 |
| umar | Curly_Q, found a solution, moving stuff out from there into /www/newfolder. actually the cirtual pc images were taking quite a lot of space | 08:16 |
| Curly_Q | Umar that tells me a lot and as I said earlier, a small Hard Drive is useless. | 08:17 |
| umar | Curly_Q, i mean i had two 5 GB images of a virtual pcs in my home folder, i just moved them out to create space. but for a better fix, shoudi use gparted? | 08:18 |
| Curly_Q | The bottom line is it is like shoving down the throat of someone a 30 pound turkey when they have just ate a pork loin steak. Think about it. | 08:20 |
| Jyxt | so...anyone know why games like games like openarena use both screens in a dual monitor setup | 08:20 |
| Jyxt | but if i go full screen in say vlc, it knows to stay in the one monitor? | 08:20 |
| Garefield | hello ppl i am here with a problem can anyone help me | 08:21 |
| Jyxt | or hell even playing a game thru wine...stays in one monitor...but openarena uses both, its a bit of a pain in the arse | 08:21 |
| Garefield | i want to connect to internet using my huawei 2258 cdma phone | 08:21 |
| Kingtiger01 | Curly_Q: More like using a Atom Bomb for fishing... | 08:21 |
| jimbeam12 | some know how i get edit my grub/menu.lst file | 08:21 |
| Garefield | but i dont know how to do it | 08:21 |
| jimbeam12 | iam on live cd now | 08:21 |
| Garefield | wvdial does not reconize my modem but lsusb dies | 08:22 |
| Garefield | does | 08:22 |
| Kingtiger01 | Curly_Q: by giving any application root access, they can modify any configuration... i use fakeroot for everything anymore... | 08:22 |
| Jyxt | jimbeam12: mount /dev/sd## /mnt/boot | 08:22 |
| Jyxt | jimbeam12: or something along those lines...then edit away | 08:22 |
| Curly_Q | How in hell do you fake root? | 08:23 |
| Kingtiger01 | fakeroot is a package... | 08:23 |
| se7vn | pretend-sudo | 08:23 |
| Kingtiger01 | fakeroot is similiar to sudo, but without giving write access and some other permissions.. | 08:23 |
| Curly_Q | You would'nt catch me using a fake root program. | 08:23 |
| ph33r | why do you need fakeroot in the first place ? | 08:24 |
| * mekanik sits, watches and learns.. :) | 08:24 | |
| Kingtiger01 | well then... you have never built sources have you.. | 08:24 |
| jimbeam12 | nope still getting an empty menul.lst jyxt | 08:24 |
| ph33r | why not the real root ? (pardon my lack of knowledge though) :) | 08:24 |
| Curly_Q | As a Network Administrator, I would never advise anyone to use a FAKE ROOT. | 08:24 |
| tasslehoff | anyone know how I can choose which driver is used with my webcam? I want gspca instead of pwc | 08:25 |
| Jyxt | jimbeam12: ls -l /mnt/boot/ | 08:25 |
| techie | i need help ridding my system of the stupid X server check in ubuntu, as it always complains when i use a non default xorg.conf and it even reports errors when i use an xorg.conf that it makes | 08:25 |
| Jyxt | jimbeam12: what does it say? if you get nothing then you didnt mount the right partition | 08:25 |
| golding | can some one tell me how which download will help improve my resolution for a nvidia card? | 08:25 |
| Kingtiger01 | Curly_Q: then you would NEVER be able to build -DEV packages for Ubuntu/Debia Repositorys!!! | 08:25 |
| Curly_Q | To me FAKE ROOT is nothing but a KIDDIE SCRIPT or HACK to use as a back door and I would not and don't encourage anyone here to listen to this. | 08:26 |
| jimbeam12 | i can pastebin it jyxt | 08:26 |
| mekanik | i was just happy when Ubuntu found my new HP printer automatically :D | 08:26 |

| student_ | Akkarin du huso | 08:28 |
| Kingtiger01 | Curly_Q: if youre a REAL network Administrator... i would suggest you take a read over at linuxquestions about compiling Libs... its NOT a backdoor, it STOPS Applications that you launch from OVERWRITING other files... WITHOUT IT. you would have a unbootable system when building certian applications... And being that you dont know this i HIGHLY doubt you are a NA, you wouldnt Survive as a IT or SA. | 08:28 |
| jdv_ | please can anyone suggest what I should do with these errors? http://pastebin.com/m3d8579c3 | 08:28 |

| Jyxt | se7vn: he apparantly had it installed before, menu.lst got overwrote or something so he booted into livecd to fix | 08:29 |
| joakimk_ | Can someone help me configure a GPRS connection? | 08:29 |
| Jyxt | jimbeam12: your boot partition has contents, but menu.lst is empty? 0 file size? | 08:29 |
| jimbeam12 | yes | 08:30 |
| joakimk_ | I tried connecting with *sudo pppd nomagic call gprs* and my cellphone responds. But my laptop isn't online. Also, how do I *disconnect*? | 08:31 |

| jimbeam12 | ok paste it lll ill have a look at it | 08:32 |
| mekanik | an ethical hacker.... *ponders* .. i can see that... | 08:32 |
| mekanik | It is though to my understanding that Ubuntu is a lot more secure than Windows .. correct? | 08:33 |

| constantine_ | I'm getting a black screen of death in ubuntu when I try to copy terminal outputs | 08:34 |
| Curly_Q | Security is beyond the scope of your comment. | 08:34 |

| Jyxt | jimbeam12: http://pastebin.com/d6e5fb1d1 | 08:34 |

| Curly_Q | I teach classes all day long on this subject. | 08:35 |

THE MAKER OF THE LINUX KERNEL.. if want a lecture on hacking.. ill go talk to Kevin Mitnick, or go back to college and listen to another lecture from a proffessor.

| indus | hi | 08:39 |
| Boohbah | Curly_Q: a network administrator could not have prevented mitnick's social engineering attacks | 08:39 |
| Curly_Q | Constantine SCREEN SAVER shut it off. | 08:39 |
| Jyxt | Curly_Q: psh, kevin mitnick isnt a hacker...he's a social engineer | 08:39 |
| tehbaut | any good pw managers that work with ubuntu, windows, and maybe iphone and/or winmoble? | 08:39 |
| Jyxt | he's good at talking the talk | 08:39 |
| Curly_Q | I read his profile. | 08:40 |
| Boohbah | Jyxt: in the broader definition of the term, mitnick IS a hacker | 08:40 |
| Jyxt | Boohbah: well by all rights and definitions most computer users are hackers...we forget that popular media altered the term to something nefarious back in the 80's | 08:40 |
| Jyxt | before the media got a hold of it...a hacker was essentially a programmer | 08:40 |
| Kingtiger01 | Obviously... but 70% of them are worried about personal gain... not pissing off some network admin... i was a child of the 80's. i grew up playing around with my IBM PC1, and getting Loop numbers... doesnt mean i consort those actions now... i regret them. but i learned something, unlike some people. | 08:41 |
| Jyxt | if'n you want to talk semantics Boohbah | 08:41 |

| BuGo_laptop | hi. i have weirdest problem. When i type anything in search bar in NetBeans or Firefox and search fails (text i search is not found) whole screen flashes black. As if every window in screen is being redrawn. | 08:41 |
| BuGo_laptop | maybe this comes from some sound effect? | 08:41 |
| Curly_Q | Mitnick made a mistake and paid for it. | 08:41 |
| constantine_ | Curly_O - that worked thanks | 08:41 |
| henry8 | need help | 08:42 |
| BuGo_laptop | any ideas? | 08:42 |
| Jyxt | to me a hacker is someone who uses the code to gain entry, whereas a social engineer (mitnick) use's charm and charisma | 08:42 |
| henry8 | why the hostname is 127.0.0.1 but the domain = 127.0.1.1? | 08:42 |
| Curly_Q | Constantine did you shut off the screen saver? | 08:42 |
| Curly_Q | 127.0.0l.1 is the local host which is the NIC card and you can PING it. | 08:43 |
| Xgates | I installed the mainline kernel 2.6.31-020631 cause I'm running a macbook pro and it's the only one that will allow the macbook to restart.

| Matt______ | I can't logg on to even order the new version...even though in other places it says I am...i wonder if this could be because of Opera browser? | 08:44 |
| Curly_Q | Sorry 127.0.0.1 is the local host and you can open up a Command Prompt and do a : /ping localhost | 08:44 |
| tehbaut | is there a way to control the order and timing of startup items? | 08:45 |

| Curly_Q | Change the the screen resolution. | 08:48 |
| Jyxt | constantine__: i had this problem before...no matter what i did compiz always turned my screen black, its because by default compiz doesn't have a wm...so it doesn't know *how* to draw things on your screen | 08:48 |

| Curly_Q | Just because it works with Windows, it does not mean it will work with UBUNTU or Linux. In fact, I have had this problem with a nice monitor and it was the drivers and not the monitor or the computer or the OS. | 08:56 |

| jimbeam12 | error 11: unrecognized string indus | 09:04 |
| indus | jimbeam12: aer you the same guy wrec ffrom yesterday? | 09:04 |
| Jyxt | but grub doesnt really give useful info when it dumps an error...just says error ##: description of error | 09:04 |

| jimbeam12 | windows first indus | 09:05 |
| Jyxt | jimbeam12: well menu.lst is obviously not empty...otherwise grub would be complaining alot more | 09:06 |

| neil_d | Jyxt: I think so... I get asked for the password. | 09:12 |
| jimbeam12 | ok ive tried sudo mount -t et3 /dev/sda5/mnt | 09:12 |
| Jyxt | neil_d: with the key you shouldnt be asked | 09:12 |

| neil_d | Jyxt: I know | 09:12 |
| Jyxt | chmod 400 .ssh/id_rsa | 09:12 |
| neil_d | Jyxt: done (on the client) no change! | 09:13 |
| se7vn | jimbeam12 : I was going to suggest, when I first updated the kernel on ubuntu and screwed up my menu.lst file, come to find out 2 days later, I was editing 1 of 2 menu.lst's | 09:15 |
| neil_d | Jyxt: the /etc/ssh/sshd_config has "PubkeyAuthentication yes" | 09:15 |
| se7vn | if they're listed in grub, there's a menu.lst around with that info in it | 09:15 |
| Jyxt | neil_d: and on your server /etc/ssh/sshd_config you have pubkeyauthentication yes | 09:15 |
| asdfg12qw3 | Test | 09:15 |
| jimbeam12 | ok what the solution then . | 09:16 |
| neil_d | Jyxt: snap!! | 09:16 |
| jimbeam12 | if i cant get to my menu.lst | 09:16 |
| Jyxt | neil_d: it works? | 09:16 |
| === piratex is now known as rootpiratex | ||
| neil_d | Jyxt: no,, still asks for the password! | 09:17 |

| Jyxt | though i think by default pubkeyauth is on | 09:17 |
| salvo | aiutooooo | 09:17 |
| AfC | Do we have to do anything special to get Karmic to recognize encrypted [external device] partitions? On Gentoo with GNOME 2.26 the auto mounter did the LUKS mapping automatically and then a dialog came up prompting for passphrase. Am I missing something obvious to make this work on Ubuntu? | 09:17 |
| se7vn | what's in the /boot/grub directory of your distro partition? | 09:17 |
| neil_d | Jyxt: no I didn't.. but I restarted it anyway.. still asks for a password. | 09:18 |

| sagaci | changing a file chmod 333, is that any different from 777 | 09:19 |
| neil_d | Jyxt: yes! I just double checked the pub key is in the file. | 09:19 |
| Jyxt | sagaci: 777 gives user, group, world...read, write, execute permission | 09:20 |
| Jyxt | sagaci: 333 gives only write and execute | 09:20 |

| roflparrot | sagaci, those numbers are octal sums | 09:20 |

| davidson_1971 | ie jaunty | 09:24 |
| Jyxt | then its gotta be something with the sshd_config | 09:25 |
| DJones | davidson_1971: Is that on the whole drive, or is there plenty of unpartitioned space on the drive, or did you give Ubuntu the whole drive when you installed | 09:25 |

| cryptopsy | th0ger: What am i supposed to translate | 09:29 |
| DJones | davidson_1971: You'll need to use an ubuntu live cd to boot up and then use gparted to free up some space on your drive, then install windows into the free space, after that, you'll need to reconfigure grub so that it gives you access to ubuntu and windows. Have a look at this web page, its got instructions on how install windows after you've installed ubuntu about half way down the page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot?action=show&re | 09:29 |

| sprink | there are plenty of guides on setting up the android plugin, but it seems the eclipse package that comes with 9.04 is so stripped down every single plugin I try to isntall requires a different one and it's like a endless loop of crap | 09:32 |
| Jyxt | sprink: i dont know anything about it really...i do know theres an ubuntu guide to it, remember reading that the default eclipse wont work | 09:34 |
| Jyxt | default eclipse for ubuntu is fairly old...they tell you to grab a newer version of eclipse | 09:34 |
| sprink | Jyxt: Hmm yeah that sounds right. I am using some guides that are not specifically for ubuntu, but I think you are right | 09:35 |

| neil_d | Jyxt: going to be adding a ufw firewall soon so that will protect it some more. | 09:36 |
| neil_d | Jyxt: and the server isn't visible to the internet. | 09:37 |
| sprink | Jyxt: got it resolved. I feel like a idiot now | 09:39 |
| neil_d | Now I have something really strange... when I login to the server from a local terminal (i.e. via the keyboard) it takes 30 or more seconds to verify the password... why? can this be fixed? | 09:39 |

| indus | pontus21: can you log in as a different user and check the panel> if yes, its some user config issue | 10:45 |
| pontus21 | yes, i can | 10:45 |
| Nachturnal | wow somehow I overlooked the ultra quick server installation link. thanks for pointing me back to the site. | 10:45 |
| Tarthen | pirx: Yes, you can. You can right click > mount. But, if you want to mount a partition, rather than make one, psydm works a treat | 10:45 |
| indus | pontus21: hopefully can be resolved on deleting stuff in the .gnome folder | 10:46 |
| pontus21 | indus: but i will have to go in about 5 minuts | 10:46 |
| indus | pontus21: go where | 10:46 |

| Tarthen | Callum_: Go get some cheap hardware :D | 10:47 |
| Callum_ | Tarthen: heh | 10:48 |
| Callum_ | I wish | 10:48 |
| Tarthen | I could use more hardware | 10:48 |
| Tarthen | everyone in my class says that 3 computers is too much | 10:48 |
| Tarthen | bah to them. | 10:48 |
| === Guest31752 is now known as TheNEWman | ||
| lolek | Tarthen: hmmm | 10:49 |
| TheNEWman | HI, I just installed my new operating system! yahooo! how do I change my password on my account? | 10:49 |
| lolek | Tarthen: you mean 3 computers per person ? | 10:49 |
| jdv | I have a dodgy disk / partition which according to testdisk utility cannot be recovered, do I have any options or must I format? | 10:49 |
| jrib | TheNEWman: System -> Administration -> Users and Groups is one way | 10:49 |
| Tarthen | TheNEWman: System > Admin > Users & Groups, click Unlock, enter your current password, go Properties on your account, and use the "Set Password By Hand". | 10:50 |
| Tarthen | Ding, you're done. | 10:50 |
| Tarthen | lolek: No, I have 3 PC's, and people say I don't need more | 10:50 |
| Tarthen | I want more though | 10:51 |
| pontus21 | indus: Ok, with another user, there's no problem | 10:51 |
| lolek | Tarthen: nah... i have hmmm | 10:51 |
| TheNEWman | If i am doing root do I need to be in the root account? | 10:51 |
| lolek | Tarthen: about 6 | 10:51 |
| lolek | :) | 10:51 |
| TheNEWman | Thanks Tarthen and jrib, if I need to change the root account, do I need to be logged in to root? | 10:52 |
| praetorius | good morning 2 all | 10:52 |
| Tarthen | TheNEWman: Nope | 10:52 |
| lolek | TheNEWman: no | 10:52 |
| pontus21 | indus: you're still there ? | 10:52 |
| jrib | !root | TheNEWman | 10:52 |
| ubottu | TheNEWman: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 10:52 |
| Tarthen | TheNEWman: But you have to let Root to be able to graphically log in f you want that | 10:52 |
| Tarthen | I find that root > sudo for admin boxes | 10:53 |
| jrib | Tarthen: heh, that's not true at all... | 10:53 |
| praetorius | is there any brazilian around??? | 10:53 |
| jrib | !br | praetorius | 10:53 |
| ubottu | praetorius: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Obrigado. | 10:53 |
| TheNEWman | Tarthen, I'm confused. is root secure? or has it been negated in ubuntu? | 10:53 |
| Tarthen | TheNEWman: Sudo replaces root, more or less | 10:53 |
| Tarthen | TheNEWman: Sudo makes you root temporarily | 10:54 |
| jrib | TheNEWman: use sudo for administrative tasks. You just don't log in to the root account, you use sudo instead. ubottu's link explains the details | 10:54 |
| TheNEWman | So if someone hacks an account on a system the can get control of root.. or do root things? | 10:54 |
| Tarthen | jrib: So is true. Setting up Squid, tftp and Nagios using sudo is an epic pain | 10:54 |
| Tarthen | TheNEWman: If they have permissions to use sudo | 10:54 |
| jrib | Tarthen: sudo -i ... | 10:54 |
| rafal | hello | 10:55 |
| Tarthen | TheNEWman: Not everyone can use sudo. | 10:55 |
| rafal | poland | 10:55 |
| rafal | jest kto z polski? | 10:55 |
| TheNEWman | How do I define who can sudo and who cant? | 10:55 |
| jrib | !pl | rafal | 10:55 |
| ubottu | rafal: Na tym kanale używamy tylko języka angielskiego. Możesz uzyskać pomoc w języku polskim na #ubuntu-pl. | 10:55 |
| lolek | rafal: tak.. ale pisz po angielsku... | 10:55 |
| Tarthen | TheNEWman: /etc/sudoers, I think | 10:55 |
| lolek | raphink: ewentualnie kanal: ubuntu-pl | 10:55 |
| Gnea | TheNEWman: it's explained on the site | 10:55 |
| jrib | TheNEWman: users in the « admin » group can sudo by default | 10:55 |

| dallix | is there a simple way to mount a wubi install to a drive in windows? | 10:56 |

| Vinceman | guys, I installed something and now my camorama won't display my webcam image but guvc will.. do you have any ideas how I can get 'em both working? | 10:57 |

| Vinceman | v4l-uvb | 10:57 |
| raphink | lolek: huh? rozumiem po engliski ;) | 10:57 |
| TheNEWman | By the way, While I am here, is there a way to connect 5 or 10 monitors and keyboard/mouse combos to a ubuntu box? I have a coffee shop and this would be a cheap way to add free Internet surfing. | 10:57 |
| Gnea | Vinceman: you can only use camorama or guvc at one time, not at the same time | 10:57 |
| babu_ | i want xp | 10:57 |
| lolek | raphink: ?? | 10:58 |
| Jyxt | TheNEWman: you mean multiple monitors/keyboard/mouse per 1 machine? | 10:58 |
| Tarthen | TheNEWman: Yes... but it'll require a heckload of hacking of xorg.conf | 10:58 |
| Gnea | babu_: then /join ##windows | 10:58 |
| babu_ | pls give me windows xp | 10:58 |
| Jyxt | so multiple users can do multiple things off one machine? | 10:58 |
| Gnea | babu_: no. | 10:58 |
| Vinceman | Gnea when I shut down camorama guvc still won't run, it asks for v4l2 | 10:58 |
| babu_ | why | 10:58 |
| Tarthen | babu_: No :D | 10:58 |

| raphink | lolek: you sent me a polish message ;) | 10:59 |
| Jyxt | TheNEWman: well first you'd need a reasonably powerful machine...and second you should look into virtualization ala vmware or virtualbox | 10:59 |
| Vinceman | kurva match | 10:59 |
| Tarthen | babu_: Windows and Linux are two different things. | 10:59 |

| raphink | lolek: yes I do, no pb ;) | 11:00 |
| TheNEWman | jyxt, I mean why mess with virtualization. | 11:00 |
| lolek | raphink: ok, then :) | 11:00 |
| Jyxt | TheNEWman: yes...but to push a different gui to each user | 11:00 |

| Jyxt | TheNEWman: and you'd want some semblance of security going on..ie you woudlnt want customer A to see what customer B is doing would you | 11:01 |

| MenZa | raphink, lolek, TheNEWman: The above applies to you, too :) | 11:01 |

| lolek | raphink: well ok.. no problem ;) it's not your native language..;) | 11:01 |
| Jyxt | TheNEWman: i know you can buy a hardware kvm switch, but i think thats to share multiple machines against a single monitor/mouse/keyboard | 11:01 |

| Jyxt | never heard of someont trying to go the otehr way | 11:01 |
| Tarthen | TheNEWman: Faster too. 9.04 runs like a dream on my P4, 512MB box at work. | 11:01 |
| Tarthen | MenZa: I was not OT. We are discussing multiple input devices and screens | 11:02 |
| TheNEWman | jyxt, tarthen, I read about somone doing it on a bsd box. I just assumed it could be done in linux. | 11:02 |
| lolek | TheNEWman: l... i meet a guys.. about 3 years ago.. he did what you want to do... | 11:03 |
| Tarthen | TheNEWman: Hmm. It's possible, I know that | 11:03 |
| lolek | TheNEWman: he made it in linux.. but he has some problems... but i don't remember who was that.. but.. | 11:03 |
| raphink | MenZa: no pb ;) | 11:03 |
| TheNEWman | loek... three years ago.. wow, then it must be easer today. | 11:03 |
| Gnea | MenZa: the point is, it's actually sticking to the topic of what hardware ubuntu will run on, which is quite on-topic. | 11:03 |
| Tarthen | TheNEWman: But performance running 10 X screens would be appalling | 11:03 |
| Tarthen | TheNEWman: And not really. XFree86 is deprecated now, isn't it? | 11:03 |
| Tarthen | And XOrg.conf is *kind of* | 11:04 |
| lolek | TheNEWman: but, i think there is no problems... you need to configure properly the xorg.conf file.. and that's all | 11:04 |
| Jyxt | Tarthen: but xorg replaced it...same thing really | 11:04 |
| TheNEWman | tarthen, perhaps 8 users with a lowend quad core or two dual core chips. | 11:04 |

| TheNEWman | LOL NO, will ring in an expert. :-) me ignorant, not stupid. | 11:05 |
| TheNEWman | thanks lolek | 11:05 |
| babu_ | what is oing on | 11:05 |
| lolek | TheNEWman: no problem ;) | 11:05 |
| Jyxt | TheNEWman: outside of the processor to handle whatever workload they are doing...you'd need to invest in some decent gfx cards | 11:05 |
| lolek | TheNEWman: just wanted to say.. that it's possible.. | 11:05 |
| babu_ | what is going on | 11:05 |
| pirx | Tarthen: weird, i have no "mount" when right clicking:) | 11:05 |
| Tarthen | TheNEWman: TBH, multiple boxes would be better. | 11:05 |
| Tarthen | pirx: Lemme check | 11:06 |
| lolek | TheNEWman: but... i think there is an easier way to do that | 11:06 |
| TheNEWman | jyxt, I have some exp with multiple monitors, you really don't need much. a basic card now is fast enough. 20 bucks each. | 11:06 |
| lolek | TheNEWman: you need one extra powerfull machine... | 11:06 |
| Gnea | ikonia: got a moment? | 11:06 |
| ikonia | Gnea: sure | 11:06 |
| lolek | TheNEWman: then buy asmany terminals as you need, and make virtual desktop connections to the powerfull machine | 11:06 |
| TheNEWman | I am sure you could do it with a dual core... even a lower end one. but 4 cores would be better. | 11:06 |
| Tarthen | pirx: Oh! If you go into Nautilus, you can mount from that | 11:06 |
| Jyxt | TheNEWman: probably with like 4 gfx cards, cards with dual outs...one monitor per user then just configure the xorg.conf to run multiple monitors and multilple cards...then you'd have to go thru and disable each monitor from changing to another monitor and all that stuf | 11:06 |
| Gnea | ikonia: pm? | 11:06 |
| Jyxt | probably be *much* easier to just run multiple machines | 11:07 |
| ikonia | Gnea: of course | 11:07 |
| indus | babu_: what is the problem | 11:07 |
| lolek | TheNEWman: pm... | 11:07 |
| TheNEWman | jyxt yep, that is probably right. I'm a gonna google. I am sure there must be someone out there that has done it and published how. | 11:07 |

| zebastian | what's better fedora or ubuntu? | 11:13 |
| jussi01 | !best | zebastian | 11:13 |
| ubottu | zebastian: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 11:13 |
| WhiteCrow1 | MenZa: i speak persian and i know chanal #ubuntu.ir but this chanal not very good | 11:13 |
| Jyxt | zebastian: thats like asking whats better...mercedes or bmw | 11:13 |
| MenZa | zebastian: A matter of preference. Try asking BestBot in #ubuntu-bots what he thinks. | 11:13 |
| Jyxt | it depends on what your using it for...and above all personal tastes | 11:13 |
| MenZa | WhiteCrow1: Alright - hopefully someone will be able to help anyway :) | 11:13 |
| zebastian | why would someone prefer fedora when RMS is all about freedom | 11:14 |
| Tarthen | Wha> | 11:14 |
| WhiteCrow1 | MenZa: TNX dude | 11:14 |
| Tarthen | Fedora is OpenSource | 11:14 |
| ChristW | Does anyone know from the top of their head if it is possible to read an Apple TIme Machine backup (on an external USB HDD) with an Ubuntu system? | 11:14 |
| TheNEWman | http://userful.com/ | 11:14 |
| Jyxt | isnt fedora part of redhat? | 11:14 |
| zebastian | and ubuntu? | 11:14 |
| Jyxt | TheNEWman: check out this link http://linuxgazette.net/124/smith.html | 11:14 |
| Jyxt | zebastian: uhh...open source as well | 11:14 |
| TheNEWman | ok, thanks jyxt | 11:14 |
| zebastian | there's no community as large as ubuntu though right? so by having more users ubuntu has more bug reports and more developers and is therefore more stable? | 11:15 |
| erUSUL | WhiteCrow1: try encfs https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FolderEncryption | 11:15 |
| chunky | ChristW: yes | 11:15 |
| Tarthen | zebastian: Fedora is the community version of the commercial Red Hat Linux. Ubuntu is made by Canonical. They have equally big communities, IMO, but Ubuntu is "easiest" | 11:16 |
| MenZa | Tarthen: Actually, Ubuntu is made by thousands of contributors world-wide. :) | 11:16 |
| zebastian | easiest? in what respect? it's better because it's freer though right? | 11:16 |
| ChristW | chunky: Any references? | 11:16 |
| Tarthen | MenZa: Distributed then ;) | 11:16 |
| TheNEWman | jyxt, looks good. Thanks | 11:16 |
| Jyxt | zebastian: easiest as in easy to install, update, etc | 11:16 |
| WhiteCrow1 | erUSUL: tnx i go to see | 11:16 |
| JoshDreamland | Evolution is acting up. It disabled the send/receive button when I changed theme for some reason. | 11:16 |
| JoshDreamland | restarting does nothing | 11:17 |
| Jyxt | zebastian: vs something like gentoo which is probably the hardest...but both use the same software, just in a different way | 11:17 |
| MenZa | zebastian: Not a lot of modern Linux distributions are *fully* free, Ubuntu, for instance, are shipped with some proprietary components. If you want a fully free OS, try looking at gNewSense, or similar distributions. | 11:17 |
| zebastian | well, i saw linus torvalds uses fedora and i didn't get why he doesn't use ubuntu | 11:17 |
| chunky | ChristW: no, but it works for me personally | 11:17 |
| Jyxt | both are free...none are any more free than any others | 11:17 |
| ChristW | chunky: So I'll just mount the disk and see what I can find... | 11:17 |
| hittt | question: on the aspire one netbook, i need to reinstall the whole 9.04 installation, but, should i switch to a clean 9.10? Because several bugs are fixed there. | 11:17 |
| SilentJonathan | how do i register with this irc server? | 11:18 |
| TheNEWman | so while I am asking questions, does anyone know how to set up the vpn option in the network connections window. | 11:18 |
| zebastian | is power pc better than x86? i was reading partly why he uses fedora is because it works well on power pc | 11:18 |
| DJones | !register | SilentJonathan | 11:18 |
| ubottu | SilentJonathan: Information about registering your nickname: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration - Type « /nick <nickname> » to select your nickname . Registration help available in #freenode | 11:18 |
| MenZa | But this is straying into offtopic-land; asking about how free Ubuntu is isn't, but let's not get into a long discussion about how free different distributions are compared to each other. That discussion belongs in #ubuntu-offtopic :) | 11:18 |

| zebastian | nobody talks in ubuntu-offtopic | 11:19 |
| TheNEWman | Menza do you now how to setup a vpn in the network connections window? | 11:19 |
| erUSUL | zebastian: Linus no longer uses powerpc | 11:19 |
| Jyxt | zebastian: given the sheer number of linux distro's...why choose one over another, personal preference is what it boils down to...you use what you like | 11:19 |
| MenZa | TheNEWman: I wouldn't, no. I suggest hanging around in the channel, and maybe someone else will. :) | 11:19 |
| OldSmoke | anybody know how to get nvidia sli working in ubuntu? | 11:19 |

| zebastian | main reasons why i chose ubuntu were because i met one of the developers, i saw it had a really big community and liked the userfriendliness | 11:20 |
| MenZa | TheNEWman: Just ask the channel, no point in asking individuals. | 11:20 |
| viki25 | lolek: can you tell me how to do that ? (i am new to Ubuntu) can you give me an example ? | 11:20 |

| viki25 | lolek: sure :) | 11:21 |
| JoshDreamland | Ah, never mind | 11:21 |
| zebastian | there's more packages for ubuntu than for anything else though right? because all of debian packages will run on ubuntu and debian has mre packages than anything | 11:21 |

| acostello | good morning all. can someone help me with my sound? i can hear it when its quiet, but it wont get loud, and my headphones wont work... | 11:22 |
| jrib | shos: nautilus is responsible for that | 11:22 |
| zebastian | how about the bsd? i heard all linux packages will work on bsd | 11:23 |
| acostello | i have 9.04 on a gateway netbook | 11:23 |
| Jyxt | acostello: open your mixer and make sure that pcm, front etc are on and of a good volume | 11:23 |
| acostello | Jyxt: i did, but i will do it again | 11:23 |
| shos | jrib: how do i fix that? | 11:23 |
| Jyxt | i know my laptop has a seperate sound channel for the speakers and the headphone jack...was pissing me off for the longest why i had no sound out of the headphone jack until i realized the headphone mixer was muted | 11:23 |
| jrib | shos: I don't know, but seeing if nautilus is running and/or restarting nautilus and seeing if it crashes would be a good place to start | 11:23 |
| Jyxt | acostello: in my laptop it was called 'front' also my desktop has 'front' for the front sound jacks | 11:24 |
| adok | guys .. im having a huge problem with my laptop. i was trying to setup afterstep on ubuntu 9.04, and after i get all the packages installed, i run this command echo "export WINDOW_MANAGER=/usr/local/bin/afterstep" > ~/.gnomerc | 11:24 |
| adok | now the laptop crashs everytime i boot | 11:24 |
| acostello | Jyxt: what is the pcm? | 11:24 |
| TheNEWman | thanks everyone. Good night | 11:24 |
| jrib | adok: erm, isn't afterstep in the repositories? Why did you compile it? | 11:25 |
| adok | i got it from there, with normal package install | 11:25 |
| adok | synaptic i mean | 11:25 |
| Jyxt | acostello: not sure what it stands for or what it exactly is...but i know when its muted i have no sound | 11:25 |
| zebastian | will my laptop turn on faster once i get ext4? | 11:25 |
| demon_ | can anyone help me with linux-image-2.6.30.5 i cant install it because it's allready installed but i can't install anything thunderbird vbox gcc because it requires this image to be installed.. but when i try to install it.. it's allready there! | 11:25 |

| === imatt is now known as iMatt | ||
| jrib | iMatt: why? | 11:26 |
| iMatt | jrib, i want to istall a plugin for gedit! | 11:26 |
| adok | jrib, yes i know, i found that in a guide, and i changed to the right path after look for afterstep with whereis | 11:26 |
| jrib | adok: but that's not what you wrote. What does your ~/.gnomerc actually say? | 11:27 |
| adok | i already booted in root mode, and deleted the file... even so, it doesnt work, laptop keeps crashing after it boots in graphic mode | 11:27 |
| wuehlmaus | hi, everyone, i have a strange problem with ubuntu jaunty, i am trying to run a postgresql-8.3-server and whenever i use /etc/init.d/postgresql-8.3 start absolutely nothing happens and no server is started | 11:27 |
| jrib | iMatt: use ~/.gnome2/gedit/plugins | 11:27 |
| adok | nothing, i didnt had it, i follow a guide from http://wiki.afterstep.org/index.php?title=Switching_to_AfterStep_in_Ubuntu_8.10 | 11:27 |
| Jyxt | wuehlmaus: is that the tab completed command? | 11:27 |
| jrib | adok: what else did you run? | 11:28 |
| adok | even knowing my version is 9.04, everything was loking right | 11:28 |
| wuehlmaus | Jyxt: i think, yes | 11:28 |
| Jyxt | wuehlmaus: ie if you type /etc/init.d/postres(press tab) | 11:28 |
| Jyxt | err postgres | 11:28 |
| wuehlmaus | Jyxt: that's the script | 11:28 |
| adok | just that, i installed the packaged, run that, and rebooted... it crashed | 11:28 |
| wuehlmaus | i am used to using complete | 11:28 |
| jrib | !who | adok | 11:28 |
| ubottu | adok: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 11:28 |
| adok | then i went in root mode after boot again, and deleted .gnomerc, in hope it was fixed.. but it wasnt | 11:29 |
| wuehlmaus | Jyxt: otherwise i would get a "file not found" | 11:29 |
| Jyxt | wuehlmaus: after tab completing the postgres part...press tab again | 11:29 |
| Jyxt | it should list possible commands? | 11:29 |
| jrib | adok: try setting WINDOW_MANAGER to metacity the same way you set it to afterstep | 11:29 |
| adok | jrib, sorry, | 11:29 |
| adok | hmm | 11:29 |
| Gnea | excellent, the upgrade succeeded! | 11:29 |
| Mutsch | #__iron | 11:29 |
| wuehlmaus | Jyxt: as i said, i am used to use completion , that isn't the problem | 11:30 |
| Jyxt | wuehlmaus: if you get commands there...try doing /etc/init.d/postgreswhateer status | 11:30 |
| wuehlmaus | nothing happens then | 11:30 |
| wuehlmaus | nada | 11:30 |
| Jyxt | wuehlmaus: heh, not even a: * postgres is not running | 11:30 |
| wuehlmaus | Jyxt: nothing :( | 11:30 |
| wuehlmaus | Jyxt: i found out that /etc/postgresql/ isn't there | 11:30 |
| Jyxt | wuehlmaus: maybe you need to do some post install configuration? | 11:30 |
| lolek | wuehlmaus: try: /etc/pgsql ? | 11:31 |
| Jyxt | i dont know anything about postgres...but i know mysql after install you have to setup the default databses and stuff, otherwise it wont run | 11:31 |
| wuehlmaus | lolek: didn't try that | 11:31 |
| lolek | :) | 11:31 |
| iMatt | thank you jrib! it works! i installed the textmate like plugin, so i can just pull in an folder, and to see the content of it on the left sidebar! But its still saying that the object is an folder! :S | 11:31 |
| lolek | Jyxt: the same is in postgre | 11:31 |
| lolek | Jyxt: but postgre is sometime in /etc/pgsql instead of /etc/postgresql | 11:32 |
| hittt | question: on the aspire one netbook, i need to reinstall the whole 9.04 installation, but, should i switch to a clean 9.10? Because several bugs are fixed there. | 11:32 |
| Jyxt | lolek: does that mean /etc/init.d/pgsql start would work instead of postgresql? | 11:32 |
| lolek | Jyxt: yes | 11:32 |
| lolek | Jyxt: pgsql is just a shortcut for postgresql | 11:33 |
| Jyxt | wuehlmaus: hehe...try that /etc/init.d/pgsql start :P | 11:33 |

| Jyxt | lutius: ok and sudo mount -t auto /dev/sdb1 /mnt/test | 11:54 |
| Jyxt | doesn't work? | 11:54 |
| Jyxt | or sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /mnt/test | 11:54 |
| lutius | Jyxt: http://paste.ubuntu.com/276998/ | 11:54 |
| MinusSeven | might be mounted already | 11:55 |
| Jyxt | lutius: hrm...never seen that error from mount | 11:55 |
| MinusSeven | I have | 11:55 |
| Jyxt | lutius: and typing 'mount' doesn't show it as being mounted already? | 11:56 |
| lutius | Jyxt: it's because I had restarted win on button not byt shut down command | 11:56 |
| === hittt123 is now known as hittt | ||
| Jyxt | lutius: try rebooting into windows and doing a proper shutdown...then going back to ubuntu and try mounting it | 11:56 |
| MinusSeven | i've seen it | 11:56 |
| nomad111 | BlackFate: so i set the default to the creative | 11:56 |
| nomad111 | BlackFate: still nothing... | 11:56 |
| iceroot | erUSUL: one day, linux is the gameing plattform .) | 11:56 |
| nomad111 | do i need to reboot? | 11:57 |
| BlackFate | nomad111, ye after you set default do this | 11:57 |
| lutius | Jyxt: I have to reinstall win...buecause it crashed:) | 11:57 |
| BlackFate | nomad111, close firefox first | 11:57 |
| lutius | Jyxt: and that will fix the job:) | 11:57 |
| nomad111 | yep all closed | 11:57 |
| BlackFate | nomad111, mv ~/.pulse ~/pulse_backup | 11:57 |
| Jyxt | fyi in fstab it would look like: /dev/sdb1 /mnt/test/ auto noatime 0 0 | 11:57 |
| lutius | Jyxt: thanks...and srry for mess:) | 11:57 |
| BlackFate | nomad111, and start firefox | 11:57 |
| Jyxt | changing /mnt/test for wherever you want to mount it | 11:57 |
| Jyxt | lutius: of if you dont want it automounted do | 11:57 |
| Jyxt | lutius: /dev/sdb1 /mnt/test auto noauto,users 0 0 | 11:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Jyxt: dont you need an fs type ? | 11:58 |
| Jyxt | ActionParsnip: the 'auto' tag after the mountpoint handles that | 11:58 |
| Jyxt | but i guess /dev/sdb1 /mnt/test ntfs-3g noauto,users 0 0 would be the same...little cleaner | 11:58 |
| nomad111 | BlackFate: still nothing :( | 11:58 |
| Jyxt | why is doktor_dre doing a CTCP to everyone...then he just pm'd me asking 'what is windows' | 11:59 |
| BlackFate | nomad111, in pavucontrol you see the flash player playing? | 11:59 |
| Jyxt | i smell a scriptkiddie | 11:59 |
| nomad111 | cant access that anymore, says: Connection failed: Connection refused | 11:59 |
| BlackFate | nomad111, its normal.. try to open it again | 12:00 |
| BlackFate | nomad111, second time will open after you moved .pulse | 12:00 |
| nomad111 | oh ok | 12:00 |
| jdv | I have a dodgy disk / partition which according to testdisk utility cannot be recovered, do I have any options or must I format? | 12:02 |
| nomad111 | BlackFate: so when i open pavucontrol i saw firefox in there and i saw the audio bar moving, it was set to my onboard sound card and i did 'move stream' to the usb sound card and it worked | 12:02 |
| BlackFate | nomad111, good | 12:02 |
| nomad111 | BlackFate: however, do i have to do this everytime now? | 12:02 |
| BlackFate | nomad111, no only once | 12:03 |
| nomad111 | BlackFate: awesome thanks a lot, appreciate it | 12:03 |
| BlackFate | nomad111, everything you change in pavucontrol is perm | 12:03 |
| BlackFate | nomad111, np | 12:03 |

| bullgard4 | When setting up a new Mozilla Thunderbird, the Account Wizard asks if one would like to set up a Unix Mailspool (Movemail) type of account. What is the function of a Unix Mailspool (Movemail) program? Is this just another name for 'Mail Transfer Agent' (MTA)? | 12:05 |
| ActionParsnip | bullgard4: i think it reads the terminal mail on the local system | 12:06 |
| iceroot | bullgard4: its using the mailbox you manage with mail on the command-line | 12:07 |
| ActionParsnip | bullgard4: if you run the command mail in terminal you get a mailbox, it allows uni users to mail each other | 12:07 |
| iceroot | bullgard4: its your local user-mailbox | 12:07 |
| bullgard4 | disappearedng: There is a Freenode channel #openoffice.org . | 12:07 |
| Jyxt | bullgard4: i think its for local mail deliveries | 12:08 |
| Jyxt | things like cron etc...without mail they end up in dead.letter, guessing thunderbird lets you grab those | 12:08 |
| jack007 | ya | 12:08 |
| Bacta | Can someone recommend a good LDAP tutorial for stupid people like me? A focus on the web would be nice | 12:08 |
| ActionParsnip | bullgard4: if you are on a *nix based system in an exam, start emailing your friends instead of talking if its exam conditions. Its funny | 12:08 |
| jack007 | hi everybody | 12:09 |
| bullgard4 | ActionParsnip, iceroot: Thank you for explaining. | 12:09 |
| slawek | why my FF doesn't run only some videos. Opera run everyone. | 12:10 |
| bullgard4 | slawek: If it does not run only some, it will run everything. | 12:11 |
| ActionParsnip | bullgard4: its also why you are told you have no mail when you ssh | 12:11 |
| lolek_ | re | 12:11 |

| ActionParsnip | kinnaz: there isnt one, download the tar.gz and put the .so file in ~/.mozilla/plugins : http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/libflashplayer-10.0.32.18.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz it will only work if your Ubuntu is 64bit. It WILL NOT WORK if you are using 32bit. | 12:17 |
| ActionParsnip | kinnaz: you will also need to remove the flash plugins you currently have installed | 12:18 |
| iMatt | !si | 12:18 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about si | 12:18 |
| kinnaz | ActionParsnip, yep im on x64, imported my home dir from 32 so thats why i prolly have 32 version instaleld, tnx for help | 12:18 |
| indus | hiii | 12:18 |
| ActionParsnip | kinnaz: the plugins folder will need creating | 12:19 |
| pluma | What is the CLI equivalent of synaptic's "remove completely" (i.e. config files too) | 12:19 |
| pluma | for apt-get/aptitude/etc | 12:19 |
| bullgard4 | pluma: dpkg maintains some usable information about available packages. | 12:19 |

| ActionParsnip | kinnaz: i always just hit a flash page like: http://www.rathergood.com/blode2 | 12:21 |
| ActionParsnip | kinnaz: you'll need to make sure firefox is not running before you rerun it | 12:22 |
| karbo | bullgard4: huh? | 12:22 |
| kinnaz | ActionParsnip, that was it, didnot correctly restart firefox, now its working :) tnx for hel | 12:24 |

| ActionParsnip | mano: sudo apt-get install vlc | 12:39 |

| ActionParsnip | mano: apt:vlc | 12:39 |
| Mano | any website | 12:39 |
| razor_X | okay did that | 12:40 |
| kora | ActionParsnip, Dr_Willis: its a program (written by some dr.) i used for university; it did run before so the libraries should be installed. when i copied some files via scp the connection interrupted and then when trying to do something on a shell the bash always returned seg fault )= | 12:40 |
| kora | the i used my own bashrc | 12:40 |
| Jyxt | Mano: why download when you can let synaptics install it for you? | 12:40 |
| Jyxt | better that way | 12:40 |
| kora | so the seg fault disappeared, but the other erreor emerged | 12:40 |
| unimatrix | why does it take ubuntu almost 1 second to open a simple home folder in nautilus? | 12:40 |
| dg1 | any one know how to move a wubi install to a ext4 drive | 12:40 |
| unimatrix | is it a bug? | 12:40 |
| razor_X | ActionParsnip is there a way to increase my resolution and make it where i can see the whole screen in 1024X768 mode? | 12:40 |
| SkyRocknRoll | Jyxt, may be he is try to install it on a offline system !! | 12:41 |

| razor_X | 800X600 is so lame i cant see half of stuff | 12:41 |
| ActionParsnip | razor_X: sure, if you run: gksudo jockey-gtk you should be offered a driver | 12:41 |
| infecto | hello some one i familiar with monodevelop crash? i`m up to date. | 12:41 |
| Jyxt | Mano: anyway just go to vlc site http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ | 12:41 |
| dg1 | ok it can be done | 12:41 |
| dg1 | all i needed to know | 12:41 |
| indus | mano the command sudo apt-get install vlc | 12:41 |
| Dr_Willis | Mano: its in the package manager listings.. yes... Use teh package manager tools. | 12:41 |
| razor_X | actionparsnip i have the nvidia driver installed but it detects my monitor as 800X600 | 12:42 |
| indus | mano will install the software, this is what also happens when you run synaptic | 12:42 |
| Dr_Willis | dg1: this is linux.. somthing can always be 'done' :) just may be easier to do it some other way then what you were thinking.. | 12:42 |
| Dr_Willis | !clone | dg1 | 12:42 |
| ubottu | dg1: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 12:42 |
| ActionParsnip | razor_X: ok then run: gksudo nvidia-settings | 12:42 |
| ActionParsnip | razor_X: do you get a message saying there is no driver? | 12:42 |
| indus | ActionParsnip: no need to run nvidia-settings with sudo | 12:42 |
| ActionParsnip | indus: is if you want to write to xorg.conf to make the boot screen the same res as the desktop | 12:43 |
| Dr_Willis | indus: err.. i have to if i want to to change the /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 12:43 |
| indus | ActionParsnip: aah thats nvidia-xconfig | 12:43 |
| dg1 | man, thats clever | 12:43 |
| ActionParsnip | indus: no thats to give a stock xorg.conf with nvidia oodnes | 12:43 |
| mun | hi | 12:43 |
| razor_X | actionparsnip it says to configure it as root | 12:43 |
| indus | anyways | 12:43 |
| Dr_Willis | heh nvidia-settings (with no X) is the X app.. nvidia-xconfig with the X is not a X app. :) | 12:43 |
| ActionParsnip | razor_X: ok thats fine, close the app down | 12:43 |
| ActionParsnip | razor_X: run: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 12:44 |
| indus | nvidia-xconfig never works for me anyway | 12:44 |
| ActionParsnip | indus: me neither, i ignore it | 12:44 |
| Dr_Willis | ive not had to use nvidia-xconfig in ages. | 12:44 |
| indus | ActionParsnip: dpkg is good enough | 12:44 |

| dg1 | If I moved to a ext4 rather than ntfs would my computer run faster | 12:47 |
| MenZa | dg1: You'd have less fragmentation. | 12:47 |
| Dr_Willis | dg1: i find ext4 faster for my needs then ntfs | 12:48 |
| dg1 | ext4 and a swap | 12:48 |
| indus | any proof its faster? | 12:48 |
| indus | ntfs is good i say | 12:48 |

| indus | iam almost online paying for a radeon HD 4850 | 12:51 |
| ActionParsnip | razor_X: if you run: gksudo nvidia-settins can you set a better res | 12:51 |
| dg1 | is the sky bluer than ext4 | 12:51 |

| razor_X | actionparsnip it only offers 640X480 and 320X230 | 12:52 |
| indus | Dr_Willis: i know they have drivres every month on site, so if i could get a nice positive answer | 12:53 |
| ActionParsnip | razor_X: set the driver to vesa and reboot, uninstall the nvidia driver you installed | 12:53 |
| indus | Dr_Willis: i think ill go blind and buy one, i have great hopes for the radeon HD driver open source one | 12:53 |
| Dr_Willis | indus: in the last ati drivers update.. they removed a lot of their 'older cards' so 3d support for bsaically vanished.... | 12:53 |
| Dr_Willis | indus: good luck.. | 12:54 |
| indus | Dr_Willis: radeon 4850 :) | 12:54 |
| Dr_Willis | i dont plan on going ati in the forseable future. | 12:54 |
| acostello | indus: the ati drivers have gotten better over the last 2 years, but prior they sucked... i would get nvidia if you could... | 12:54 |
| indus | Dr_Willis: also, open source drivers have 3d support | 12:54 |
| DuncanM_ | Does the latest 4850 driver from ATI work on ubuntu? now installing it | 12:54 |
| Dr_Willis | indus: 'some' do.. and some actually work.. | 12:54 |
| razor_X | actionparsnip ok back in a bit | 12:54 |

| mikla | it doesnt need to be in rep using nix more than 10 y :P | 13:10 |
| Jyxt | Pici: ubuntu version doesnt matter...as its a kernel level exploit, newer kernels 2.6.30+ have it fixed i believe | 13:10 |

| cheater99 | i have a cd which is a little bit scratched and i need something that will give me the best | 13:14 |
| Gateway` | the name of files appears in a green color, that means they crypted with a password | 13:14 |

| kitallis | different distros? | 13:17 |
| cheater99 | Dr_Willis, cd audio has an error correcting code as well which is scattered around the disc. i wouldn't like bits to be marked as the wrong value because the extraction tool did not check the checksum and instead had to guess what the bit was.. | 13:17 |

| kitallis | Dr_Willis: if you explain, i'd be happy | 13:27 |
| kitallis | on what? | 13:27 |
| Dr_Willis | kitallis: like the libs the apps are using.. for one thing. | 13:27 |

| thiebaude | zebastian, copy and paste from text editor | 14:38 |
| zebastian | thiebaude: just did that and again, it simply went back to prompt | 14:38 |
| thiebaude | zebastian, is mplayer in synaptic? | 14:38 |
| mattcen | huwaw69: What do you mean "using" your cd/dvd rom? | 14:38 |
| Travis-42 | on one of the ubuntu pages about ext4 it says that best performance is only achieved on new filesystems, not those upgraded from ext3. How big a difference is it? | 14:39 |
| huwaw69 | mattcen, uhmmm ill rephrase it, how do i identify my cdrom in ubuntu? | 14:39 |
| mikepett | I noticed by default that other user accounts on my box can access the contents of my home folder, how can I fix that? | 14:39 |
| thiebaude | Travis-42, ext4 is faster than ext3 for me | 14:39 |
| Travis-42 | thiebaude: yes, but how much faster is a new ext4 filesystem vs an upgraded ext4 filesystem? | 14:40 |
| mattcen | huwaw69: Identify what type it is, or what device it is mapped to? Usually, whatever device it is, it is accessible via /dev/cdrom | 14:40 |
| zebastian | thiebaude: yes but it gives me the same output | 14:40 |
| zebastian | some dependencies cannot be installed | 14:40 |
| [pablo] | mikepett: that probably means that you have allowed access for them to read only | 14:40 |
| [pablo] | mikepett: you need to change permissions so they can't | 14:40 |
| thiebaude | Travis-42, it should be the same | 14:41 |
| mikepett | [pablo]: exactly | 14:41 |
| zebastian | thiebaude: Depends: mplayer (>= 1.0) or mplayer-nogui but it is not going to be installed | 14:41 |
| huwaw69 | mattcen, i meant uhmmm identify what cdrom name it is or other informations | 14:41 |
| Travis-42 | thiebaude: Canonical says "Maximum performance will typically only be achieved on new filesystems, not on filesystems that have been upgraded from ext3. " | 14:41 |
| thiebaude | Travis-42, go with that | 14:41 |
| Travis-42 | thiebaude: I am :-), I was just trying to find out how big the performance difference was | 14:42 |
| [pablo] | mikepett: like, for example, chmod 700 /home/user | 14:42 |
| [pablo] | mikepett: would only let you and only you see the contents of that folder | 14:42 |
| thiebaude | Travis-42, i dont know the difference between the 2 | 14:42 |
| [pablo] | mikepett: permissions 750 would let you and your group see, but not others | 14:42 |
| [pablo] | mikepett: depends what level of access you want to give to your group and to others | 14:43 |
| thiebaude | Travis-42, anyway 9.10 has ext4 by default | 14:43 |

| nils_ | this is weird, I am partitioning with the alternative installer and it wants me to partition an encrypted volume... It should instead be using it as whole... | 14:45 |
| mikepett | [pablo]: so it appears that chmod 700 is what I want, so that would be "chomod 700 /myusername/home" while from terminal | 14:45 |
| mattcen | huwaw69: A little bit of information can be found via dmesg, but I'm not sure where else you can find anything... | 14:45 |
| thiebaude | Finnish, im not sure all i do is view pdf files in it | 14:45 |
| [pablo] | mikepett: chmod 750 /home/user should be enough too, the software you run has the same priviledges as yourself, so it won't affect | 14:45 |

| ActionParsnip | Finnish: aiword and openoffice have the ability to export to PDF. You also have a PDF printer you can use to print from anything else | 14:47 |
| mattcen | Finnish: You can print files to a PDF file by default often. | 14:47 |
| thiebaude | mikla, i tried ie4linux | 14:47 |
| mattcen | Finnish: The print dialogue for Gnome for example, has a "print to file" option, which allows you to specify a PDF file as the output. | 14:47 |

| legend2440 | Finnish: http://www.wikihow.com/Edit-PDF-Files-in-Linux-Using-PDFEdit | 14:48 |
| [pablo] | Finnish: you can use Sun's import PDF extension for openoffice.org, and modify it -- check link http://www.sun.com/software/staroffice/extensions.jsp#pdfimport | 14:48 |
| [pablo] | mikepett: if there is, I don't know it... unless you enter interactive boot mode, which is a pain anyways | 14:49 |
| ActionParsnip | CuBiC: you can use xorg.conf to override HAL. Here is mine with laser mouse: http://pastebin.com/f593c59d | 14:49 |

| Boohbah | mikepett: could you teach your kids to login through GDM? | 14:50 |
| mattcen | mikepett: You should be able to just bypass auto-login. If you specify a few seconds of timeout, and then you can start typing your own username, and it will stop the autologin... how are you doing it? | 14:50 |

| arvind_khadri | sfantu, open the terminal and run sudo aptitude update | 15:15 |

| tj83_ | freenose, yes | 15:27 |
| Balsaq | i clear the warning and they dont seem to effect me in any way? | 15:27 |
| tj83_ | freenose, i suggest 8.04 server over others still | 15:28 |
| Dr_Willis | freenose: theres other ways to do a minimal 'desktop' without doing the server instgall | 15:28 |
| freenose | tj83_: I see, this is for a laptop | 15:28 |
| freenose | Dr_Willis: What other ways? | 15:28 |
| tj83_ | freenose, ah, so your still wanting a GUI just not gnome? maybe xbuntu? | 15:29 |
| Dr_Willis | freenose: what desktop do you want to use? | 15:29 |
| freenose | tj83_: openbox | 15:29 |
| freenose | Dr_Willis: no desktop, just a WM | 15:29 |

| Dr_Willis | freenose: you could always just install openbox and use it - on ubuntu... | 15:30 |
| freenose | Dr_Willis: I see, so.. how do you do a minimal desktop? | 15:30 |
| freenose | hmm ok | 15:30 |
| Dr_Willis | freenose: or xubuntu, since you will still want most of the gnome-related 'config/support/whatever tools' | 15:30 |
| Dr_Willis | I just install ubuntu, then install whateer window manager i want. | 15:30 |
| Dr_Willis | or several of them :) | 15:30 |
| freenose | Dr_Willis: This is an old machine with 10 GB hard drive :/, wanted to save space | 15:31 |
| Dr_Willis | 10gb is plenty. | 15:31 |
| Dr_Willis | I run ubuntu gnome on 4gb. | 15:31 |
| Balsaq | (pici)good question, nebie here, i was exloring my browser stuff and i clicked on "tools" and chose "error console" and wholly smokes i got tall these warnings about text, alignment...all kinds o ghtem got a few now | 15:31 |
| freenose | Dr_Willis: gnome takes up to much space | 15:31 |
| Dr_Willis | freenose: then remove the parts you dont want. You will want some of the gnome tools/config tools unless you really are going hard core. | 15:32 |
| freenose | tj83_: yeah, my bad, I should have said 'desktop' | 15:32 |
| acostello | freenose: if you dont like gnome, what about xfce? | 15:32 |

| Dr_Willis | freenose: theres that (unsupported here) variant called err.. crunchbang. it comes with fluxbox. | 15:33 |
| Dr_Willis | freenose: i also saw work on (unsupported here) 200mb or so gnome-light variant | 15:33 |
| freenose | Dr_Willis: Yeah, I saw it, actually it uses openbox :) | 15:33 |
| freenose | wanted to go official | 15:33 |
| Balsaq | i think the error console is part of the firefox browser rather than 8.10 | 15:34 |
| Dr_Willis | Install ubuntu.. install oopenbox.. remove other junk. | 15:34 |
| Dr_Willis | thats the way to do it then | 15:34 |

| tj83_ | Balsaq, ya know the term "if it aint broke, dont fix it?" lol you said you were not experiencing trouble so i'd just roll with it :) and 8.10 is the least of all versions i trust to be stable | 15:35 |
| dsdeiz | oh, | 15:35 |
| Dr_Willis | You arte not going to gain much space by removing stuff i imagine | 15:35 |

| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about TUI | 15:55 |
| vigo | whoops | 15:55 |
| grawity | cgroza: Most of it you learn by experimenting, and by googling everything that you don't understand. But start with the 'man' command, and with the tutorials at http://tldp.org/ | 15:56 |
| vigo | cgroza: Look at the Forums, and get a few books. | 15:56 |
| cgroza | THANKS | 15:57 |
| ccooke | cgroza: the trick to learning to use the terminal is just to play with it. Set yourself some tasks you'd like to learn how to do, then experiment | 15:57 |

| eirikb | When I make a folder that I want some users to access, but not all, I make a group and add all to the group. But I must use newgrp to set the used group as "main" group on each user to make it work? | 16:02 |
| raphink | synackfin: `column -s"$yousep" -t "$yourfile"` | 16:02 |
| Halitech | WiZz3, try the windows 2000 driver, I had the v3 version and the xp driver wouldn't work but works fine with the w2k driver | 16:02 |
| raphink | synackfin: as grawity said, it's cleaner ;) | 16:02 |
| grawity | eirikb: No, newgrp is not necessary for file permissions to work. | 16:02 |
| WiZz3 | Halitech: ok i'll try it thanks | 16:03 |
| eirikb | grawity: I see, then I did something else wrong. Thanks :) | 16:03 |
| grawity | eirikb: Or maybe not. | 16:03 |
| parabyte | how much would it cost me to pay someone to modify the driver | 16:03 |
| === dony is now known as mencucu | ||
| grawity | eirikb: If you changed user's groups _after_ he has logged in, then your changes would not take effect until the next login OR until the user did 'newgrp'. | 16:04 |

| chadwin | hey guy wich is better..debian or ubuntu??? and why?? | 16:06 |
| zugiart | hello all | 16:06 |
| eirikb | grawity: Do you know how I can remove shell from users? I was hoping this group-access could help me create users for mercurial using ssh (but I don't want to give everyone shell) | 16:06 |
| raphink | synackfin: not that it will only work for simple csv files | 16:06 |
| Dr_Willis | chadwin: try them both and see what fits your needs best. | 16:06 |
| grawity | eirikb: Try setting the shell to /sbin/nologin or to /bin/true | 16:06 |
| chadwin | thats a nice idea!! | 16:06 |
| grawity | eirikb: It might not work though... | 16:06 |
| chadwin | lol | 16:06 |
| raphink | eirikb: you can use scponly for that | 16:06 |
| zugiart | q - if I have one machine with my perfect ubuntu setup in there and I wish to clone it to another machine of similar hardware, what is the best method to do this? | 16:06 |
| Halitech | chadwin, you come into an Ubuntu support room and ask which is better between Ubuntu and Debian? going to be slanted towards Ubuntu in mind | 16:06 |
| jean_ | snd-usb-audio and M-audio anyone can help here | 16:06 |
| eirikb | grawity: I set it to /dev/null, and I tried remove-shell command, but it was still possible to ssh in | 16:06 |
| zugiart | that is, what is the best way to clone an ubuntu installation? | 16:07 |
| eirikb | raphink: I'll take a look at it, thanks | 16:07 |
| nils_ | which is better? Car or Motorcycle? | 16:07 |
| chadwin | haha | 16:07 |
| genii | !clone | zugiart | 16:07 |
| ubottu | zugiart: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 16:07 |
| Halitech | chadwin, personally I think Ubuntu is doing a great job of converting people and making it easier but I prefer Debian over Ubuntu | 16:08 |
| jetienne_ | q. how to install ubuntu from a usb key with only window to start with | 16:08 |
| zugiart | by he gods of penguins, genii thanks for that, I will definitely give it a spin! | 16:08 |
| raphink | eirikb: if you go for scponly, use it in chroot mode and tune your chroot to only have the command you need | 16:09 |
| zugiart | but genii, now that I have observed the commands, this only copies the packages description, and not the actual packages themselves, meaning that for each clone I will have to download all of the 'deltas' ? | 16:09 |

| daurnimator | how do you mount a drive when the partitions weren't made into devices; I have /dev/sdd, and fdisk shows it has one ntfs partition over the whole drive; but theres no sdd1 | 16:12 |
| grawity | daurnimator: Does it even have partitions? | 16:12 |
| daurnimator | grawity: should.... fdisk showed it was ntfs | 16:12 |
| grawity | daurnimator: If there's only one partition over the entire thing, then it might not even have a partition table. (Almost all USB pendrives are like that.) | 16:13 |
| IdleOne | daurnimator: it could be one big 500Gig ntfs drive | 16:13 |
| grawity | daurnimator: So try just 'mount /dev/sdd /media/blah' and it might work. | 16:13 |

| sysadmin | its not there | 16:45 |
| riz0n | Pici: can i have multiple commands under crontab? | 16:45 |
| Pici | Alex_Brooks: You can, but you'll need to upgrade through 8.10 first. | 16:45 |
| Pici | riz0n: Sure. Generally you put one 'job' per line. | 16:45 |
| Alex_Brooks | Pici, so I'll need to go from 8.04->8.10->9.04. | 16:46 |
| riz0n | ok i am having the crontab execute under a secondary user. | 16:46 |
| Pici | Alex_Brooks: Yes | 16:46 |
| riz0n | is there anything i need to do to specifically guide ubuntu to read this users crontab file | 16:46 |
| Alex_Brooks | Okay thanks a Pici :) | 16:46 |
| jackson_ | type compiz inadd remove | 16:46 |
| jackson_ | type compiz and install it | 16:46 |
| sysadmin | jackson_, I did that | 16:47 |

| ed0n0n | Something eats my disk space in Jackalope, I boot with 60Gb free space and I already have just 9Gb free, I am just editing text files and not using any large file, but it happens anyway... Why could this happen? | 16:49 |

| jackson_ | try that sysadmin | 16:50 |
| Halitech | ed0n0n, df -h should show where the space is being used | 16:51 |
| ed0n0n | Halitech: It happens with /dev/sda2 | 16:51 |
| Pici | ed0n0n: If you are using Gnome you can use the tool from Applications>Accessories>Disk Usage Analyzer to determine what is using up the space. | 16:51 |
| janhaj | Does anyone know, how can i watch DVB-T with tv tuner Gigabyte U8000 in ubuntu 9.04? | 16:51 |

| linuxguy2009 | Hey guys I use a live CD session to open synaptic and mark all upgrades, then i generate a download script and run the script to manually download all of them. When I go into a fresh install and run "sudo dpkg -i *.deb" they all install ok I guess but I always have trouble with packages simaler to "language-pack-en_9.04+20090803.2_all.deb" the system always wants to download the same package even though I already have it. Does anyone know why? | 16:53 |

| ctmjr | janhaj: DO NOT SEND ME FILES!!!!!!!! | 16:59 |
| Halitech | ed0n0n, ok, well only guess is to start looking at individual directories then and see ... there is an app that will show you in a graph but I can't think of the name right now ... disk usage analysis maybe? | 16:59 |
| whileimhere | metalf8801: do I need it installed on my machine and theirs or just mine? | 16:59 |

| grawity | sdcurlee: The VTs tty1-6 (tty1-64 actually) are using the good old text mode by default - not graphics. You might try enabling framebuffer mode ('modprobe vesafb' or something), then it'll use graphics mode, in the screen's native resolution. | 17:01 |
| grawity | sdcurlee: Without framebuffer, they will always use 80x24. | 17:01 |
| janhaj | ctmjr: thx http://paste.ubuntu.com/277202/ | 17:01 |

| whileimhere | They have no clue | 17:03 |
| grawity | sdcurlee: And there's this command 'setfont' - it isn't very useful in textmode (with all the limitations), but on framebuffer you can choose even the font size. | 17:04 |
| metalf8801 | whileimhere: you don't think you could walk them though that on the phone? | 17:04 |

| Halitech | ed0n0n, reboot and immediately open a terminal and run dmesg | tail and see if it gives any clues | 17:08 |
| ed0n0n | boondoklife: I havent been using the chat for a while... so I dont think so | 17:08 |

| genii | dehqan: Flash player for Linux doesn't have ActiveX. Because as already explained (quite often) Linux does not have ActiveX, it is a Microsoft Windows-only thing. So you need to enquire in the Wine support channel about something like installing Windows Flash (which may have ActiveX in it) into the Wine program | 17:30 |
| steve64 | thanks, I will try the links | 17:31 |
| holy | "sudo chmod 777 file1 file 2 ..." would be OK? | 17:31 |

| jrib | netbook: someone probably uses it, better to just ask your question | 17:32 |
| andrew__ | lol i was just saying , as people keep asking for active X | 17:32 |
| netbook | jrib, cool. In irssi how do you scroll up in the chat window | 17:33 |
| gOLDfeesh | is there a reason as to why all my modules get installed at /lib/modules/2.6.28.10/extra instead of the normal /lib/modules/2.6.28-15-generic/extra? | 17:33 |
| dehqan | thanks everyone | 17:33 |
| jrib | netbook: probably page up or shift-page up | 17:33 |
| bucky | Komischung, usually from under the Applications=>Accessories menu | 17:33 |
| netbook | jrib haah it is was the other way around | 17:33 |

| bucky | andrew__ there was a petition to macromedia for it once | 17:34 |
| jrib | netbook: search for "scroll" :) | 17:34 |
| ctmjr | janhaj: sudo apt-get install dvb-apps then look for the dir again | 17:34 |
| iceroot | zebastian: http://www.google.com/chrome/intl/en/linux.html | 17:34 |
| mikepett | vigo: thanks, but I don't want the script to run everytime, just when ubuntu decides not to start network manager | 17:34 |
| zebastian | iceroot: so it CAN be installed on linux right? | 17:34 |
| holy | Is it possible to change mode of someone's files being an administrator to read it? | 17:34 |
| iceroot | zebastian: with wine yes, and if the nativ version comes out, that one can be installed too | 17:35 |
| jrib | holy: if you're an administrator, you don't need to change the mode to read it | 17:35 |
| netbook | ubuntu is cool | 17:35 |
| daevski | Anyone know how I might find the code behind the "Show Desktop" applet in awn?? I want to hotkey it in Compiz Commands | 17:35 |

| pietromaru | hi to everyone, does anybody knows how to install the driver of the mobile phone LG ku990? | 17:36 |
| gOLDfeesh | From what I heard though, Debian would be better for a "laptop" at least that's what I was told .. I was thinking of changing to Debian, because of the hardware support. | 17:36 |

| ubottu | daevski: You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html | 17:36 |

| vigo | Ian_ and mikepett: I was about to say or suggest what was just spoken about, vi,vim and this from the forums may help both of you: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Vfu#Links | 17:39 |

| Strife89 | I'm looking for a fairly slick, quick way to bring up a terminal window, aside from placing a shortcut to it on the panel. | 17:40 |
| gOLDfeesh | grawity, it means Virtual Machine | 17:40 |
| ziobepi | baarìa | 17:40 |
| gOLDfeesh | ooooooooh.. VM my bad | 17:40 |
| grawity | JohannesSM64: I guess you mean Metacity. Try holding Alt and pressing the middle mouse button, then drag. | 17:40 |
| jrib | Strife89: keyboard shortcut | 17:40 |
| Ian_ | vigo: ? how will that help me? | 17:40 |
| gOLDfeesh | should have read that. | 17:40 |
| Ian_ | I already use vim and stuff :p | 17:40 |
| Halitech | gOLDfeesh, ok, wasn't sure by your post | 17:40 |
| grawity | gOLDfeesh: WM, not VM. (And I wasn't asking what does it mean - I asked which one was used.) | 17:40 |
| Strife89 | jrib: Where should I go to set such a shortcut (or is one already set)? | 17:40 |
| === [Hirnblaehung] is now known as |Hirnblaehung| | ||
| iceroot | Strife89: have a look at yakuake | 17:41 |
| jrib | Strife89: system -> preferences -> keyboard shortcuts | 17:41 |
| JohannesSM64 | grawity: that just makes the window lose focus | 17:41 |
| gOLDfeesh | grawity, I know I said I found it lo. | 17:41 |
| vigo | Ian_: vim,vi and that app can be used to safely edit the cofig files, emacs is also a good one to learn. | 17:41 |

| Pici | Lemurian: best to further the discussion in #ubuntu-offtopic | 18:20 |
| xT|Fish | cow9000, Yes take ext4, it's the fastest filesystem. | 18:20 |
| guntbert | Lemurian: your question has nothing to do with ubuntu support - its getting annoying | 18:20 |
| csaba | I've tried resetting to default but it didn't work | 18:20 |
| xT|Fish | cow9000, In fact, I use it myself. | 18:20 |

| whileimhere | Stupid question here. I have NBR already on a thumbdrive and it works great to install. I used it to install to my new netbook! :) Very pleased. Now I was wondering rather than DL a server edition could I use the NBR to install to a PC and then just strip the desktop off after I install thus maybe saving 600mb of download? | 18:20 |
| csaba | in /var/log/gdm it says that there was an error in the ati driver | 18:21 |
| Aska | thx | 18:21 |
| ctmjr | janhaj: how about ls /dev/dvb | 18:21 |

| whileimhere | danbhfive: Ive installed it no issues to my netbook. Would there be much of a difference in the installation? I did not know if it would even install to a desktop or if there was something super special about it like the differences between a 32 bit and a 64 bit version. | 18:22 |
| tharvey | anywhere I can get the 'iw' package for ubuntu 8.04? | 18:24 |
| ctmjr | janhaj: ok the /dev/video0 is for analog and the /dev/dvb is digital your card supports both so do not know whats wrong it is loading the digital part but not the analog | 18:24 |

It claims 4 primaries, 1 logical and 2 extended. I'm not sure I agree exactly, but it's good for starters. I usually create root (primary) then logical (rest of disk) and put swap and home into the logical part... | 18:57 |

| void_pointer | yacc, I'm only relating my experience. The time it will take to resolve some dependency hells, not the least of which is perl, can outweigh the warm glow of the seeming simplicity of the dist-upgrade | 19:09 |

| Crosswing | vigo, cheers | 19:10 |

| void_pointer | yacc, what does not matter? | 19:10 |
| yacc | void_pointer, technically, a colocated rented server that has been installed in 2005 should be moved over to new hardware anyway. | 19:10 |

| yacc | Is there somewhere a list of Ubuntu security fixes that where released? | 19:21 |
| the_archit3ct | Hi (: | 19:22 |
| server_side | synaptic | 19:22 |
| Pici | Gabe: What version of Ubuntu are you using? | 19:22 |
| Gabe | hardy heron 8.04.2 | 19:23 |
| losher | yacc: you could poke around http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/. Dunno if that's what you're looking for... | 19:23 |
| server_side | whats the difference between sudo and su? | 19:24 |
| yacc | losher, just something to illustrate how many security updates there have been since 2007 ;) | 19:24 |
| yacc | server_side, su asks the root password, which is by default not set. | 19:24 |
| vigo | !su | 19:24 |
| ubottu | 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) | 19:24 |
| losher | yacc: that might do it, take a look... | 19:24 |
| yacc | server_side, sudo asks per default the authorized users password. | 19:24 |
| erUSUL | server_side: sudo does something as a given user su switchs to another user | 19:24 |
| lightness | max99 didnt work ,maybe a command to "format" the usb drive? | 19:24 |
| losher | Gabe: you've done the usual sudo apt-get update ? | 19:24 |
| Gabe | i | 19:25 |
| server_side | ahhh ok great | 19:25 |
| fotis | does anyone play games online in ubuntu and what games? | 19:25 |

| sburwood | I use Ubuntu 8.10. I use Thunderbird as an e-mail client. While Thunderbird worked in the past correctly, now, each and every time I use it, it asks me for the e-mail addresses, etc. Why? | 19:25 |
| sburwood | and what to do? | 19:25 |
| erUSUL | fotis: Guild Wars; Urban Terror but move this to #ubuntu-offtopic | 19:25 |
| yacc | erUSUL, su can run a command too. | 19:25 |
| yacc | erUSUL, and sudo -i gives you a shell. | 19:26 |
| Gabe | losher: i dont know what usual is yet on this system am old windows user | 19:26 |
| vigo | Gabe: Takes abit of unlearning to learn, but read the forums. ALOT and it will help. | 19:26 |
| erUSUL | yacc: how would you have answered the question ? | 19:26 |
| yacc | erUSUL, the difference is the security architecture. su switches to another user asking that user's password. sudo asks your own password, and checks if you are authorized to do the switchover. | 19:26 |
| === Guest36222 is now known as SecretAgentMan | ||
| sburwood | anyone wanna help me? | 19:27 |
| max99 | sburwood: Thunderbird uses a profile folder (I forget of hand where) it must have changed. | 19:27 |
| yacc | erUSUL, on a default Ubuntu install su is worthless for root access as Ubuntu does not set a root password by default anyway. | 19:27 |
| grawity | sburwood: Try renaming ~/.thunderbird and ~/.mozilla-thunderbird | 19:27 |
| Gabe | losher: got this error when i ran that command E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead. | 19:27 |
| sburwood | renaming ... ? Wouldn't it be better to just uninstall and reinstall Thunderbird? | 19:28 |
| Gabe | vigo: whats the best place to start? | 19:28 |
| losher | Gabe: wanna pastebin the output so we can see exactly what went wrong? | 19:29 |
| sburwood | thanks for the help (I'm not being sarcastic) | 19:29 |
| erUSUL | Gabe: switch mirrors ? | 19:29 |
| SecretAgentMan | hi, I just loaded up ubuntu. Great operating system. I noticed on the network connection window there is an option to set up a vpn, but all the buttons are grayed out. How do I set it up? I just need to connect my system to another network across the INTERNET. My system is behind a router with a firewall. BTW it is amazing that ubutnu includes VPN. This is really a great operating system. | 19:29 |
| sburwood | bye | 19:29 |
| max99 | sburwood:uninstall and reinstall Thunderbird? will just start a new profile | 19:29 |
| grawity | max99: No, it won't | 19:30 |
| b3rz3rk3r | SecretAgentMan, you need to get a package, which for the life of me i cant recall suddenly | 19:30 |

| SecretAgentMan | geirha: b3rz3rk3r, is it hard to set up? I really like linux, but I wish it was easer for not it professionals. ... of course it has really moved leaps and bounds over the last couple of years, thanks to ubuntu. | 19:33 |
| linuxguy2009 | Anyone have experience with doing an install over a local network? | 19:33 |
| markit | let's try, thanks (if I use kde font size are perfect) | 19:33 |
| losher | Gabe: nothing to it. Just browse to http://paste.ubuntu.com, copy in your output & then tell us the url it gives you... | 19:33 |
| SecretAgentMan | Geirha, we are only using ubuntu for the vpn, although there will be windows systems on the network, but they will not be on the vpn. | 19:34 |
| geirha | SecretAgentMan: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VPNClient | 19:34 |
| b3rz3rk3r | SecretAgentMan, yeah its really easy if you are familiar with basic networking configs | 19:34 |
| Gabe | losher: one moment plz | 19:34 |
| Brian___ | can anyone help me figure out why when i launch cairo dock it will launch halfway up the screen so its in the middle of the screen insted of the bottem | 19:34 |
| Xcerca | does ubuntu (and compiz and dual monitors) work fine with ATI crossfire cards ? | 19:35 |
| b3rz3rk3r | SecretAgentMan, its got a GUI and as i recall most of it is pretty self-explanatory | 19:35 |
| SecretAgentMan | b3rz3rk3r: not sure... if have the chops. | 19:35 |
| MikeH | Anyone around have any experience with RT Kernel patch? | 19:35 |

| aem-irc-a | typo | 19:35 |
| geirha | SecretAgentMan: If the vpn servers are running ubuntu, then you likely want the openvpn one | 19:35 |
| b3rz3rk3r | SecretAgentMan, you'll be just fine, go for it. there is always the forums or #ubuntu when you get stuck ;) | 19:35 |
| Gabe | losher: http://paste.ubuntu.com/277324/ | 19:36 |
| Gabe | losher: is that correct? | 19:37 |
| ZykoticK9 | aem-irc-a, you need to add the drive to /etc/fstab - research fstab | 19:37 |
| MikeH | gah | 19:38 |
| losher | Gabe: It's perfect. But it also looks like those servers are dell-mini specific? Sorry, I dunno much about them. There are only a few failures, and they may be temporary or unimportant. What are you planning to do next? | 19:38 |
| Gabe | losher: am trying to send screen shot | 19:38 |
| Gabe | losher: there are a bunch of updates am trying to get dl'd | 19:39 |
| Gabe | losher: 115+ that won | 19:39 |

| marcellus | is there any downside choosing 64-bit Ubuntu over 32-bit? | 19:40 |

| losher | Gabe: what are you using to get the updates. Synaptic? | 19:40 |
| Vinceman | how do you enter programs in the Add/Remove list? | 19:40 |
| max99 | some thing don't work 64bit | 19:40 |

| ubottu | Gabe: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading | 19:40 |
| Gabe | losher: i don | 19:41 |
| losher | marcellus: 64-bit tends to be a bit less stable in my opinion, depending on which release. Unless you need more than 4GB swap space, it's not worth the bother... | 19:41 |
| Gabe | losher: i don | 19:41 |
| csaba | when I start X with startx the monitor freezes and I cannot do anything. I've tried downloading the latest ATI drivers, installed them, ran aticonfigure --initial, but it still won't work | 19:41 |
| yahooguntu | Vinceman: at the top there's a box you can type program names in. Just check the box and press "Apply" to install it. | 19:41 |
| Gabe | losher: damn mini keyboard | 19:41 |
| csaba | I've tried using an old xorg.conf without success | 19:41 |

| eric-b | heh | 19:42 |
| losher | Gabe: slow down & try again... | 19:42 |

| losher | eric-b: nerdvana | 19:42 |
| Gabe | losher: thanks for patience ok i don | 19:42 |
| yahooguntu | Vinceman: But you have to check the box next to the programs you want to install. | 19:42 |
| eric-b | losher, you mean the pipe or the food or the hair? | 19:42 |
| eric-b | or all of it! | 19:42 |
| edubruell | i plan to install jaunty or karmic on machine with a radeon HD 4570 card | 19:43 |
| Gabe | losher: dont beleive its synaptic also cant get firefox 3.5 to install | 19:43 |
| losher | eric-b: the whole package. He'll make some extra-terrestrial very happy one day... | 19:43 |
| Vinceman | yahooguntu: it says There is no matching application available. | 19:43 |
| eric-b | hah, you got that right | 19:43 |
| losher | Gabe: ff35 has a special trick to it. | 19:43 |
| losher | !ff35 | Gabe | 19:43 |
| ubottu | Gabe: Firefox 3.5 Final is available for Jaunty by installing the package firefox-3.5 and firefox-3.5-gnome-support | FF3.5 is referred to as Shiretoko in your UI, see http://is.gd/1reB3 for an explanation | Hardy & Intrepid: http://is.gd/1jkNY | 19:43 |
| nmvictor | whats the command to verify if a useraccount already exists, for my case i wish to verify with a command if user nagios already exists? | 19:43 |
| grawity | nmvictor: id nagios &> /dev/null | 19:44 |
| Gabe | losher: what does that mean when you put a ! in front of ff35? | 19:44 |
| eric-b | nmvictor, id <userid> | 19:44 |
| losher | nmvictor: you could grep /etc/passwd for an entry, and/or check /home/nagios exists, or something... | 19:44 |
| grawity | nmvictor: or maybe, 'getent passwd nagios' would be better. | 19:44 |
| eric-b | id nagios is the better option | 19:44 |
| grawity | losher: It isn't always /etc/passwd. | 19:44 |

| csaba | could someone help me fix startx? Everything else in linux works... I run it in console mode | 19:45 |
| csaba | and it says the graphics card works too... except the screen is black | 19:46 |
| grawity | csaba: What is the exact problem, and what distribution are you using? | 19:46 |
| grawity | csaba: And do you have an ~/.xinitrc? | 19:46 |
| losher | grawity: that's true if using NIS etc. Please suggest a better recommendation... | 19:46 |
| grawity | losher: I already did, 'id nagios' or 'getent passwd nagios'. | 19:46 |
| mattgirv | csaba: If auto detection failed, you can always try configuring it yourself manually. | 19:47 |
| losher | grawity: very good, I learned something new... | 19:47 |
| Vinceman | yahooguntu do you need to be logged in as root or something? | 19:47 |
| dimi3 | Hello, I have a problem running compiz. I have nvidia quadro nvs 140m. But when I'm watching movies and I do ALT+TAB the movie window starts to blink.. | 19:47 |
| csaba | ubuntu 9.04 and there is no .xinitrc | 19:47 |
| mattgirv | csaba: Either way, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 and go through the options to confirm the settings | 19:47 |
| nmvictor | grawity: eric-b losher thanks alot | 19:47 |
| grawity | csaba: Then you need to create one. startx uses ~/.xinitrc to find out what exactly to start. | 19:47 |
| csaba | mattgirv: I've tried dpkg-reconfigure and it didn't work | 19:47 |
| grawity | csaba: For example, you might put 'exec gnome-session' to .xinitrc (it is a simple shell script). | 19:47 |
| yahooguntu | Vinceman: No, it'll ask you for a password when it's ready to install. What's the name of the program you're trying to install? | 19:47 |
| csaba | ok i'll try | 19:48 |

| csaba | I've tried autodetecting the keyboard and setting it manually | 19:51 |
| Blastur | anyone know if there is a console (no gui) terminal that allows 'tabs'? (ie several terminals in one app, and the ability to switch between them quickly) | 19:51 |
| mattgirv | csaba: And you are 100% that your refresh rates are set properly | 19:51 |
| Guest34122 | i need an advance | 19:51 |
| csaba | let me check | 19:51 |
| grawity | Blastur: 'screen' might be useful. | 19:51 |
| mattgirv | Because it does sound like an incorrect refresh rate/screen resolution | 19:51 |
| amcsi | I changed my ctrl-alt-delete key combination to gnome-system-moniter, and it worked for a while, but now it locks instead. please help. | 19:51 |
| csaba | mattgirv: where should it be defined? in xorg.conf? | 19:51 |
| losher | Gabe: I wouldn't update to Jaunty personally. It's not as stable as hardy. Must you have ff35 *today*. Most of us are managing just fine with 3.0.14 or some such. You can download a daily build if you absolutely cannot wait, but it might not be stable. As for best learning site, start here https://help.ubuntu.com/ and wander around... | 19:52 |
| amcsi | is CompizConfig doing it? | 19:52 |
| csaba | because there's nothing about a refresh rate there | 19:52 |
| coldflame23 | hi | 19:52 |
| Blastur | grawity, yeah, though so too.. but how can i quickly swap between screen instances from a single connection? | 19:52 |
| coldflame23 | anyone uses gwibber? | 19:52 |
| SecretAgentMan | Why is it so hard to set up a vpn behind a firewall? I would think this is something that a lot of people need and the process would have been simplified. | 19:52 |
| mattgirv | csaba: Yes, /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 19:52 |
| grawity | Blastur: You don't need to - you can have several windows in a single instance. Basics: 'screen' to start a new session; 'screen -r' to reattach to an existing session; Ctrl-A, C to create a new window; Ctrl-A, A to switch between last two windows; Ctrl-A, N = next window; Ctrl-A, [0-9] = windows 0 to 9 | 19:52 |
| csaba | I've also tried deleting the xorg.conf and according to the logs, it tried to failsafe with vesa, but that failed as well | 19:52 |

| csaba | the splash screen i mean | 19:53 |
| Korlis | csaba, whats goin on | 19:53 |

| csaba | I didn't do no such thing, except change the resolution... | 19:57 |
| csaba | but I'm not sure if that caused it | 19:57 |
| nmvictor | losher: might have missed it, what was the command?i had a lag over here so irssi reconnected automatically, mind giving me the command again? | 19:57 |
| Korlis | ok, one of your buttons should have a picture of a monitor on it, |[ ]| look something like that, hold the fn key and push that | 19:57 |
| losher | nmvictor: the consensus seemed to be the "id" command... | 19:57 |
| losher | nmvictor: or to use 'getent...' | 19:58 |
| losher | nmvictor: if you don't run anything fancy like NIS, a simple grep of /etc/passwd will probably be enough... | 19:59 |
| KinG`PiN | Holy hollywood. | 19:59 |
| tabuk | llllllllllllllllllllllllll | 19:59 |

| Korlis | csaba: it is posisble that x.org is looking for anothe rmonitor itself, if that be the case just boot with a live cd and replace the xorg config file with the default one off the live cd | 20:00 |
| Xoop | Is there a way to pull back a file that was removed using "sudo rm filename" | 20:00 |
| grawity | Xoop: Most of the time - no. | 20:01 |
| csaba | Korlis: I have 7 old xorg.conf's and I've tried using them all, even the failsafe, but it didn't work | 20:01 |
| csaba | Korlis: I've also tried deleting it... | 20:01 |
| csaba | I mean, I'm in console mode now | 20:01 |
| ZykoticK9 | Xoop, there are undelete programs for ext2 filesystems, i think if you're using ext3 then you're out of luck... | 20:01 |

| dajhorn | diddy: Did you empty the trash folder? | 20:03 |
| diddy | Yes, I even deleted it. | 20:03 |
| Korlis | csaba: delete all the config files, then just use the file off a live cd that should bring it back to default | 20:03 |
| dajhorn | diddy: Open a prompt and run `df -h`. | 20:03 |
| dajhorn | diddy: Check whether the "Use%" column agrees with Nautilus. | 20:04 |

| diddy | 459G 438G 0 100% /media/truecrypt1 | 20:04 |
| Korlis | csaba: if that dont work you can try booting into rescue mode from grub and choosing the fix x.org option | 20:04 |
| diddy | dajhorn, but for sure there must be a few gigbyte free | 20:04 |
| csaba | ok I was prssing ctrl+sysrq+alt+k and it printed out something :) | 20:04 |
| csaba | Unmount shoW-blocked-tasks | 20:05 |

| dajhorn | dajhorn: There is, but it is probably reserved for the root user. (See how 459 is not 438, but you've got 100%.) | 20:05 |

| server_side | xi cant run any files on apache local host, forbidden any ideas? | 20:05 |
| boss_mc | losher: does that drop it to command prompt? | 20:05 |

| TheVenerableZ | Nvidia supports ubuntu natively, right? | 20:05 |
| LOLZebra | So I suppose I can't use the gflrx drivers for the ati radeon 9700 (mobility) ? | 20:05 |
| boss_mc | losher: and will that run without a graphics card? | 20:06 |
| dajhorn | diddy: Do you run your system out of /media/truecrypt1? Or it is just for stuff. | 20:06 |
| diddy | dajhorn, just backup stuff | 20:06 |
| csaba | ah it did log me out! | 20:06 |
| csaba | cool at least I didnt have to restart | 20:06 |
| losher | boss_mc: it definitely will drop to the command prompt if you reboot. A restart alone might not do it... | 20:06 |
| csaba | ok in the old console tty1 I got an error from the ati driver | 20:07 |
| boss_mc | losher: cheers, I'll give that a go... | 20:07 |
| dajhorn | diddy: Is the /media/truecrypt1 filesystem ext2/ext3/ext4? | 20:07 |
| csaba | fglrx: No matching Device section for instance blahblah found giving up. | 20:07 |
| diddy | ext3 | 20:07 |
| diddy | dajhorn, ext3 | 20:07 |
| losher | boss_mc: I'm not 100% sure it will come all the way up without a graphics card. Anyone? | 20:07 |
| Korlis | csaba: ooooooo, if you had said you had ati i woulda just said this from the beginning | 20:07 |
| Korlis | csaba: uninstall the ati driver | 20:08 |
| csaba | how? | 20:08 |
| andyb | aleron: Disable automatic updates via settings on the update manager. | 20:08 |
| Korlis | csaba: with apt, i dont know the package name | 20:08 |
| csaba | apt-get remove fglrx? | 20:08 |
| boss_mc | losher: there will be the onboard graphics | 20:08 |
| Korlis | csaba: ati sucks with linux | 20:08 |
| dajhorn | diddy: You can get that 20GB back by doing this: $ sudo umount /media/truecrypt1; sudo tune2fs -m 0 /dev/mapper/truecrypt1 | 20:08 |
| csaba | ok so after I uninstall it, then what? | 20:08 |
| Korlis | csaba: i had a friend with a similar problem i just had him return the ati and buy nvidia | 20:09 |
| losher | boss_mc: should be fine then. It's just that some modern mobos won't boot without a graphics card.... | 20:09 |
| Korlis | csaba: reboot | 20:09 |

| afallenhope | my swap partition was reverted to a NTFS partition, so I used gparted and changed it to a swap partition.. but I have to turn it on manuall via sudo swapon /dev/sda7 | 20:16 |
| grawity | afallenhope: Usually swap partitions are added to /etc/fstab | 20:17 |
| afallenhope | grawity, for some reason it wasn't in there | 20:17 |
| grawity | UUID=blahblah swap swap defaults 0 0 | 20:17 |

| geirha | toxica: Ubuntu can't install on windows partitions. The best thing to do is to remove the empty partition, and let ubuntu create its own | 20:28 |
| thiebaude | toxica, ok, be careful and choose side by side and let ubuntu do the rest | 20:28 |

| linuxguy2009 | sorry wrong window. | 20:32 |
| MenZa | Right. I suggest you copy your entire /home directory over to a different medium, install from scratch, this time creating a seperate /home partition over. You can then move the info onto that partition. The upsides to having a seperate /home partition is that you can just install a fresh system on the / partition, and all your files and settings remain intact. | 20:32 |

| ubottu | server_side: 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+) | 20:45 |

| mostafa_ | any body knows how to auto power on the computer ? | 21:17 |
| philipp__ | zadarmo3 works but what shall i do there? | 21:17 |
| zadarmo3 | restart X: Reconfigure X Server. there should be an option to do that | 21:18 |
| ctmjr | Guest8508: look in your main menu > system > administration > hardware drivers / for graphic card drivers if there is an option to activate then go ahead and do it | 21:18 |
| philipp__ | when i start i get a login screen and a vew secounds later i becomes black... its also not possible to restart with strg + alt+ backspace | 21:19 |
| philipp__ | zadarmo no... its no problem with the xorg.conf | 21:19 |
| erUSUL | !dontzap | 21:19 |
| 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. | 21:19 |
| Guest8508 | ctmjr: i did and it does not show anything.... all it says is no proprietary software is installed | 21:20 |
| philipp__ | i think its eighter the login manager or the gdm | 21:20 |
| philipp__ | i have installed dontzap | 21:20 |
| Guest8508 | ctmjr: i have a Intel Extreme Graphics 2 whats good drivers to install | 21:20 |

| sebsebseb | dbugger: I thought you said things were to big? and you hardly had any resolutions to choose from, well installing the driver for cards tends to mean more resoloutions on Ubuntu, or so it seems | 21:40 |
| quantumlemur | hey you guys in here helping out: I just wanted to say thanks! for taking your time to provide good answers to everybody's problems | 21:41 |
| dbugger | sebsebseb, I have the same resolutions list I get in windows, so Im guessing it's quite right | 21:41 |
| nmvictor | what option should one pass to read to make its display the charactes the user types with the keyboard? | 21:41 |
| Enzo` | i'm having trouble installing flash on a laptop with an amd sempron system. | 21:41 |
| dbugger | But windows has a "small theme" | 21:41 |
| dbugger | I'd like to get one of those | 21:41 |
| dbugger | I have 1280x720, I know a lil crappy, but I'd like to make the most out of it | 21:42 |
| Halitech | dbugger, check in System - admin - appearances and see if you can change the font and icon size | 21:42 |
| sebsebseb | quantumlemur: Yes that's what some of us do here, help others with Ubuntu | 21:42 |
| ActionParsnip | dbugger: i know how to make firefox super thin | 21:43 |
| sebsebseb | quantumlemur: and unfortunatly no one that helps in here, can help with most problems, or so it seems | 21:43 |
| ActionParsnip | dbugger: you could set the default icon size to teeny-tiny | 21:43 |
| dbugger | I dont see any way to reduce icon size | 21:43 |
| Mdyter | <j1nn> on m$ it get's to inet thru dial-up . on config modem has 'encapsulation: RFC 2516 PPPoE' | 21:44 |
| dbugger | ActionParsnip, I abandoned firefox for Chromium :) | 21:44 |
| dbugger | now THAT's super slim :) | 21:44 |
| Redundant_Userna | But now flash is enabled by defualt | 21:44 |
| Halitech | Redundant_Userna, doesn't look like sane is supporting that machine yet http://www.sane-project.org/cgi-bin/driver.pl?manu=brother&model=290&bus=any&v=&p= | 21:44 |
| Redundant_Userna | Thanks anyway. | 21:45 |
| quantumlemur | sebsebseb: well, even if a lot of problems don't get fixed here, it at least gives people a place to start, and plenty of things do get fixed | 21:45 |
| ActionParsnip | dbugger: i use opera | 21:45 |
| Redundant_Userna | crashes like crazy | 21:45 |
| harushimo | is it possible to run Internet explorer under wine | 21:45 |
| Redundant_Userna | google is your freind | 21:45 |
| Halitech | Redundant_Userna, there could be a brother driver | 21:45 |
| harushimo | apparently, I need it for a job application | 21:45 |
| ActionParsnip | google is one of my friends | 21:45 |
| dbugger | Still... can someone help me with the huge desktop settings? | 21:45 |
| Halitech | harushimo, ie4linux | 21:45 |
| ActionParsnip | dbugger: let me see what i can find | 21:46 |
| nmvictor | Anyone know the options to be passed to read so that the user input is displayed as the user types? | 21:46 |
| Tastefull | ==[ HELP ]== - Does anyone know what the newest installer is for Ubuntu that is suiteble to install on a IA64 (Itanium) system? | 21:46 |
| harushimo | teag | 21:46 |
| harushimo | i mean yeah | 21:46 |
| Redundant_Userna | I have a driver, xsane just won't detect it I can print just fine | 21:46 |
| Gabe | just downloaded jaunty to external harddrive how do i install to netbook from external hd? | 21:46 |
| Halitech | harushimo, http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Main_Page | 21:46 |
| harushimo | its not my browser of choice but I have no choice in this matter. they are probably running a asp script | 21:46 |
| ActionParsnip | dbugger: you can right click the icons on desktop and adjust size as you like | 21:47 |
| trijntje | I want to reduce the "<kernel IPI> : rescheduling interrupts" wakeups on my laptop. How can i do this? | 21:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Gabe: I use this: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/usb-ubuntu-904-persistent-install-windows/ | 21:47 |
| dbugger | ActionParsnip, resizing every single icon doesnt seem very approchabe | 21:47 |
| ActionParsnip | dbugger: true | 21:47 |
| dbugger | besides I want to shrink the whole OS appearance | 21:47 |
| dbugger | not just the icons in the desktop | 21:48 |
| Redundant_Userna | I try a new theme in emerald | 21:48 |
| dbugger | I see some desktops with 10.000 icons and i get so jealous. I know they have barbaric resolutions, but still feels like more could be done with the one I have | 21:48 |
| Redundant_Userna | *I'd | 21:48 |
| Redundant_Userna | Or go to Preferences -> Appereance | 21:49 |
| dbugger | I alredy checked the configuration of gnome... not many good options there | 21:50 |
| dbugger | gnome lacks quite a lot in configuring | 21:50 |
| ActionParsnip | dbugger: you can check in system -> prefs -> appearence | 21:50 |
| Halitech | dbugger, anyone that has 10,000 icons on their desktop probably spends more time looking for things then actually working on the computer | 21:50 |
| ActionParsnip | dbugger: if you click interface tab you can make stuff be icons or text only rather than both | 21:51 |
| chazco | Hi... the driver guide for my touchscreen says that double taps can be prevented by adding a section to xorg specfiying what is the "real" mouse. This doesnt seem to work. Any ideas? | 21:51 |
| dbugger | Halitech, but it's quite nice for code developing :) | 21:51 |
| Mdyter | <j1nn> can you help me? | 21:51 |
| tehbaut | does ubuntu need to defrag? | 21:51 |
| Redundant_Userna | no, I don't think so. | 21:51 |
| Halitech | dbugger, then use launchers and drawers to organize things | 21:51 |
| dbugger | ActionParsnip, again, what im looking is to make the whole OS appearance smaller. Not just some items | 21:51 |
| Redundant_Userna | Change the text size | 21:52 |
| Halitech | tehbaut, it will in a few dozen years but not on any kind of basis like windows does | 21:52 |
| dbugger | I still want it to feel consistent and "as one" | 21:52 |
| Nin12 | use compiz to zoom uit | 21:52 |
| Nin12 | out | 21:52 |
| Redundant_Userna | Use a different theme | 21:52 |
| ActionParsnip | dbugger: openbox has a nice thin window decorator | 21:52 |
| dracnoc | tehbaut: no, not really. Ubuntu uses a file system that is far more resilient to defragmentation than that used by Windows (NTFS) | 21:52 |
| tehbaut | Halitech: didn't think so... ok | 21:52 |
| dbugger | I'd wish not to have to change my windows manager | 21:52 |
| meoblast001 | hi | 21:52 |
| meoblast001 | the Vera.ttf that comes with Ubuntu is the Bitstream Vera, right? | 21:53 |
| dbugger | Enlightment was pretty nice, though... | 21:53 |
| tehbaut | how about a window utility like win7, where it can dock to windows to half-screen? anyone seen any thing like that? | 21:53 |
| Fox | maybe I missed something. How do I get the newest drivers for my new evga gtx260, using 64 9.04? | 21:53 |

| Redundant_Userna | Karamic comes out next month, correct? | 21:54 |
| j1nn | Mdyter, are you sure you want to talk to me? have no idea what are you talking about | 21:54 |
| sebsebseb | Redundant_Userna: 29th October | 21:54 |
| dracnoc | tehbaut: can you give us a URL with a screenshot of that feature? | 21:54 |
| ActionParsnip | fox: its beta but will also allow you to install the 185 f its no good | 21:54 |

| sebsebseb | Za: lkm? Linux kernl machine or something? | 21:57 |
| ActionParsnip | nex__: boot to livecd or root recovery console and run an fsck on the partition and/or edit the fstab on your partition | 21:57 |
| Za | sebsebseb, i don't know look the log of chkrootkit | 21:57 |
| sebsebseb | Za: yes I did | 21:58 |
| spO | ubuntu doesn't have a chkdsk program for ntfs usb drives, right? is there a bootdisk or something i can use besides a whole windows os to check a ntfs usb drive? | 21:58 |
| sebsebseb | Za: and why arey ou doing a scan anyway? | 21:58 |

| x-kent | I am planning to build a machine that will serve as (media center/torrent/nat gateway) what ubuntu should I use server or desktop ? | 21:58 |
| Casper1 | can some1 help me wtih me chm2pdf | 21:58 |
| sebsebseb | Za: also you probably don't have it, unless you installed it yourself, or you got cracked | 21:58 |
| Za | i can't understand why when i change ip dos attack don't stop | 21:58 |
| Halitech | x-kent, how familiar are you with the command line? | 21:59 |
| purpzey | Can someone tell me how to setup my printer so that my laptop recognizes it as a network printer using a GUI? | 21:59 |
| ActionParsnip | x-kent: if you can configure it in server it will be more responsive, transmission and rtorrent can all run as daemons | 21:59 |
| Halitech | Za, do you have a router? | 21:59 |
| Za | no | 21:59 |
| Za | only a modem | 21:59 |
| x-kent | Halitech, I am ok with command line, but I will need X installed so it will display movies fotos to a TV that will be connected by VGA cable | 21:59 |
| bitplane | my clock and task bar have crashed, how do I restart them? I'm using GNOME | 21:59 |
| sebsebseb | Za: Ok whatever OS your running if it's Internet connected you should have a firewall | 22:00 |
| sebsebseb | !firewall | Za | 22:00 |
| ubottu | Za: 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 | 22:00 |
| dracnoc | x-kent: Mythbuntu will probably be your best bet. | 22:00 |
| nimhling | hiya, does anyone know how to get in contact with the package maintainer for the volume icon in the system tray? karmic seems to have change scrollwheel sensitivity to adjust volume by 1% instead of the 5% of the previous release. | 22:00 |
| mgv1 | hi, i'm trying to do "airmon-ng stop ath0" but it says "Run it as root". why? | 22:00 |
| ActionParsnip | x-kent: sounds like you want desktop then | 22:00 |
| === WhiteFate is now known as BlackFate | ||
| Za | sebsebseb, i'm using firestarter | 22:00 |
| SeekerNL | Hello what is the package what will take over make install and install you compiled software as a deb? | 22:00 |
| bitplane | mgv1: sudo airmon-ng stop ath0 | 22:00 |
| Halitech | x-kent, then unless its getting heavy usage, might as well go desktop or myth | 22:00 |
| Redundant_Userna | checkinstall? | 22:00 |
| sebsebseb | Za: what you mean when you change IP something happens? | 22:01 |
| SeekerNL | yes thanks :) | 22:01 |
| x-kent | dracnoc, gonna read about that distro, I know nothing about it | 22:01 |
| dajhorn | SeekerNL: stow? | 22:01 |
| ActionParsnip | purpzey: is the printer a network printer or is it attatched to another system or do you want to share the printer? | 22:01 |
| Casper1 | can some1 help me with converting a chm to a pdf | 22:01 |
| SeekerNL | dajhorn no checkinstall I meant | 22:01 |
| purpzey | ActionParsnip: The printer is attached to my desktop and I want to be able to print from my laptop (on the same network). | 22:01 |
| x-kent | Halitech, I just gave up installing debian, so now will try my luck with ubuntu | 22:01 |
| Za | a lot of icmp packet on my pubblic interface | 22:01 |
| Za | always | 22:01 |
| ActionParsnip | purpzey: what OS is the desktop running? | 22:01 |
| sebsebseb | Za: By the sounds of it you might actsaully have something bad on there, and so the only way to make sure that is truely removed is to re install the OS. | 22:02 |
| purpzey | ActionParsnip: Both are Ubuntu. | 22:02 |
| dracnoc | x-kent: Mythbuntu has a multimedia front similar to many digital TV systems (such as TIVO or Sky), but with many optional extras, plus it's a Ubuntu box underneath the hood, so you can add as many tools as you need. | 22:02 |
| Za | when i try to nmap source segmentation fault | 22:02 |

| rxd | anyone running ubuntu 910 on a usb stick? | 22:02 |
| ActionParsnip | purpzey: you can install samba and share it that way | 22:02 |

| nimhling | does anyone know if i could bind super+scrollwheel to change master volume? | 22:03 |
| ActionParsnip | purpzey: you can also connect direct to the cups system of the desktop | 22:03 |
| aroth | Casper1: try kchmviewer and print as pdf | 22:03 |
| sebsebseb | Za: Remember none of these are 100% immune from malware, Windows, Linux distros, or Mac OS X, as well as other OS's such as BSD. This is why you should buy a hardware firewall or at least a router, since those are meant to offer better protection than software firewalls. | 22:03 |
| x-kent | dracnoc, yea, googled it and already downloading an image | 22:03 |
| ActionParsnip | purpzey: if you right click the printer you will be able to share it there, i believe that will use samba | 22:03 |
| Casper1 | aroth: is that a program or a command? | 22:03 |
| Za | thanks sebsebseb | 22:04 |
| purpzey | ActionParsnip: Ok, thanks, I will check those out. | 22:04 |
| aroth | can someone confirm that the keyserver.ubuntu.com is quite slow at the moment? | 22:04 |
| newill | can some of you help me understand how to get the ubuntu advanced desktop mode?...thanks | 22:04 |
| ActionParsnip | purpzey: the page I gave gives a more graceful pure linux way rather than using samba, if you DO use samba then windows systems will be able to use the printer too | 22:04 |
| Za | tomorrow i'm going to reinstall my ubuntu | 22:04 |
| aroth | Casper1: kchmviewer is a program. It's a viewer for CHM files for KDE | 22:04 |
| Casper1 | aroth: ok ill give it a shot | 22:04 |
| dracnoc | x-kent: XMBC is another media frontend you might want to look at. There's a build espically for Ubuntu boxes. Very nice GUI. | 22:04 |
| seven1m | rb | 22:04 |
| sebsebseb | Za: If you do in fact have that type of malware on there, I guess someone got into your computer and put it there, or you did it yourself? ,but why would you? | 22:04 |
| dracnoc | x-kent: sorry, XBMC | 22:05 |
| Halitech | Tastefull, I don't see any version that is specifically for IA64 | 22:05 |
| newill | hello,,,, can some of you help me understand how to get the ubuntu advanced desktop mode?...thanks | 22:05 |
| ActionParsnip | !info xchm | aroth | 22:05 |

| ActionParsnip | newill: whats advanced desktop mode? | 22:06 |
| ActionParsnip | shawn_: try the command: free | 22:06 |
| sebsebseb | Za: you should learn about Linux firewalls :) iptables, firestarter, gufw etc, and buy a hardware firewall or at least a router that has one | 22:06 |
| dracnoc | I think newill is trying to ask about sudo | 22:06 |
| DasEi | shawn_: look for it in hwinfo or install conky | 22:06 |

| shawn_ | DasEi Whats conky | 22:07 |
| ActionParsnip | newill: its not running ubuntu, its running a modified xandros | 22:07 |
| Nin12 | thepoet, use tor. | 22:07 |
| sebsebseb | Za: How did you know about that command though? the one in your pastebin | 22:07 |
| DasEi | thepoet: browser or irc ? | 22:07 |
| Nin12 | make sure you don't ident or if you have to use https, since anyone can sniff tor | 22:07 |
| lullis | Is there any driver for it somewhere, or do I still need to go the ndiswrapper route? | 22:07 |

| thepoet | irc | 22:08 |
| gonzzor | If I want to use binary driver from nvidia, is it nvidia-glx-180 I should install? | 22:08 |
| lullis | I did quite a lot of searching, but not of the solution on the forums worked for me. | 22:08 |
| newill | I installed ubuntu 8.04 | 22:08 |

| shawn_ | Where do I get conky? | 22:08 |
| thepoet | im using xchat to try and connect to the efnet server | 22:08 |
| sebsebseb | Za: If a compuer has been infected by malware or is suspected to of been, it's also a good idea to disconnect it from The Internet. | 22:08 |

| ActionParsnip | razor_X: what was the secret then? | 22:11 |
| digilord_ | Is there any reason why if I setup a command in sudoers with the NOPASSWD option that I would still be asked for a password? | 22:11 |
| DasEi | shawn_: 64 bit I got , did you check the specs of that mobo ? | 22:11 |
| razor_X | ActionParsnip it was in the settings for monitor | 22:11 |
| newill | it's working :) | 22:11 |
| nmvictor | why does update manager launch itself automatically after every package install, this wasnt the case in intrepid | 22:11 |
| razor_X | ActionParsnip the settings you pastebinned work like a charm | 22:12 |
| shawn_ | DasEi... A guy in hardware named Beelsebob checked the motherboard for me and he says both my CPU and motherbaord support 64 bit | 22:12 |
| ActionParsnip | razor_X: yeah some monitors dont talk to the system to tell it what it can and cant do, so yu have to tell the system yourself | 22:12 |
| Abdo | ActionParsnip, can i pm u ? | 22:12 |
| newill | it say: impossibile to find desktop-switcher | 22:12 |
| razor_X | ActionParsnip i appreciate your help and patience on the matter | 22:12 |

KDE uses smart placement and so does Gnome when effects/compiz is enabled. Let's say you opened first in top left corner, the next will open in top right, the next in bottom right. But regularly in gnome, windows just open on top of the last one and just a bit lower to show the title bar. Any idea how this can be changed? I | 22:14 |
| liveD | hi guys | 22:14 |
| razor_X | anyone here familiar with shoutcast and what can i use as a DJing program to connect to shoutcast in linux | 22:14 |
| ActionParsnip | razor_X: no worries now, install driver and restore file then reboot, quick and easy | 22:14 |
| newill | I made on terminal: sudo apt-get install desktop-switcher..... and it said : impossible to find desktop-switcher | 22:14 |
| shawn_ | DasEi: Well what it says is Memory Channel A: Slot 0 1024 MB, Slot 1 2048 MB...... And the same for Memory CHannel B | 22:14 |
| aroth | Casper1: i don't have any CHM file at hand, but u should be able to print all pages as well. Or u might try xchm as suggested by others | 22:15 |
| liveD | i'm lookin for to make my personal distro but i don't know WTF to use ubuntu costom. kit and i've got a bug on my head | 22:15 |
| ActionParsnip | liveD: you can remaster the ubuntu iso | 22:15 |
| dracnoc | razor_X: try djplay | 22:15 |
| DasEi | shawn_: so wrong paired, put the 1 and the 2 next to each other | 22:15 |
| razor_X | dracnoc thank you is it free? | 22:15 |
| dracnoc | razor_X: yes | 22:15 |
| liveD | ActionParsnip, and how can i do it | 22:16 |
| dracnoc | razor_X: it runs through icecast | 22:16 |
| shawn_ | DasEi: OHHH the two same ones should be right next to eachother and not in the same colours? | 22:16 |
| razor_X | dracnoc do you have a link handy and i dont know how to use icecast | 22:16 |

| dracnoc | wow, is Frostwire still running? Haven't used that in years | 22:21 |
| jeremybub | *went | 22:21 |
| razor_X | halitech from the frostwire site | 22:21 |
| Halitech | razor_X, maybe it needs a newer version of java then is in the repo | 22:21 |
| DasEi | shawn_: I'm overasked there, for usual 0+1 is one pair, the info about colour makes me think, too, get a manual of your board and look up, also you can use live cd to check the ram for defects, before check if bios sees them | 22:21 |
| razor_X | halitech i am running the latest java | 22:22 |

I just installed a TL-WN951N and I have 130mbps "Very Good" in Windows. I just booted into ubuntu and it autodetected a working driver and connected at 1mb/s at 48% signal. | 22:26 |
| jeremybub | ActionParsnip: No, I don't know that game. | 22:26 |

| iceroot | shawn_: you are using the wrong ubuntu-version. if uname -r does nt tell amd64 you are using 32bit | 22:48 |

| crystufer | (soundcore module, default turn on) What does this garbage mean? | 22:48 |
| shawn_ | iceroot that says 64 in it | 22:48 |
| linuxgeek22 | it should automatically. try typing in lspci in the terminal (accessories->terminal | 22:49 |
| iceroot | shawn_: yes, wrong version | 22:49 |
| Halitech | shawn_, you have the 32bit version installed, if you had 64bit installed it would look like mine ... Linux debian 2.6.26-2-amd64 #1 SMP Wed Aug 19 22:33:18 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux | 22:49 |
| iceroot | shawn_: the 64bit there says your cpu can handle 64bit | 22:49 |
| Timarvay | Ah. So, I just started using Ubuntu. I want to dual boot it with Windows XP, but I have issues with my XP install. Namely, I can't do anything with it because of a virus. Can't even boot into safemode. Is there someway to partition things so I don't uninstall it by I have a working Ubuntu install? | 22:49 |
| linuxgeek22 | does lightscribe work with 64.bit ubuntu | 22:49 |
| Nin12 | iceroot, you sure about that, i downloaded 64bit edition and this is what mine says | 22:49 |
| iceroot | shawn_: its the architektur of your cpu | 22:49 |
| iceroot | linuxgeek22: yes | 22:49 |

| Nin12 | iceroot 2.6.30.7 | 22:50 |
| tehC0unt | linuxgeek22 i typed it in and its not showing up | 22:50 |
| iceroot | Nin12: post the full output | 22:50 |
| Flannel | Timarvay: Dualbooting doesn't require a reinstall, so yes. Regular dual boot instructions will leave your windows intact | 22:50 |
| mgv2 | why i don't get ath0 in monitor mode but wlan0 instead? (airocrack tutorial) | 22:50 |
| Nin12 | but i'm sure its 64bit, since i have 64 bit binaries installed on the system and they run | 22:50 |
| crystufer | Timarvay, If you broke windows, you should really just fresh install the windows and leave space for ubuntu. | 22:50 |
| Halitech | shawn_, well, unless you inadvertantly installed the 32bit kernel I'm not sure | 22:50 |
| sebsebseb | Timarvay: dual booting with an infected XP install doesn't sound that good, even though your Windows virus won't infect Ubuntu | 22:50 |
| Chousuke | hm | 22:50 |
| Timarvay | Heh, I broke Windows quite well, I think. Vundo, as far as I can tell. | 22:50 |
| shawn_ | Halitech: Did I need to do something special to select 64 bit after its on the disk? X_X | 22:51 |
| Redundant_Userna | Use a linux virus scanner and scan your windows partion | 22:51 |
| Halitech | shawn_, no, the 64bit disk should install only the 64bit version | 22:51 |
| linuxgeek22 | grab avg | 22:51 |
| Timarvay | Would it be safe to copy some saved movies and PDFs over to Linux from the infected Windows? | 22:51 |
| sebsebseb | Timarvay: If you have enough RAM and depending on what Windows programs you want to run, you can do a Windows virtual machine inside Ubuntu, and then if you get a virus or whatever again, you can easilly delete it like a normal file, and use a clean backup or re install. Also Wine can run many Windows programs in Ubuntu. | 22:51 |
| crystufer | Timarvay, Well then you have your answer. Mount the disk, burn off the personal files, reinstall windows and leave 20g free for linux. | 22:51 |
| shawn_ | Halitech: Then why wouldnt it work X_X | 22:52 |
| mgv2 | how can i download all pictures at once in thunderbird email? | 22:52 |
| Chousuke | the linux kernel for 64-bit ubuntu does not seem to be named -amd64 | 22:52 |
| Chousuke | just generic | 22:52 |
| Redundant_Userna | http://free.avg.com/download avg for linux | 22:52 |
| === tischbein is now known as stuhlbein | ||
| Chousuke | shawn_: as far as I can tell, you are running the 64-bit version :/ | 22:52 |
| Nin12 | Timarvay, even if the virus was in the pdf's(which is unlikely) the exploit it uses will probably be tuned for windows and will not work (even if the same bug is there in the linux program) so it's safe | 22:52 |
| crystufer | Step 2. Turn on sound support from kernel config | 22:52 |
| crystufer | (soundcore module, default turn on) What is this nonsense? | 22:52 |
| Chousuke | shawn_: jaunty, right? | 22:53 |
| === NiceTrySlexAxton is now known as Antaranian | ||
| Halitech | shawn_, I don't know | 22:53 |
| shawn_ | Chousuke Then why is my RAM not showing up and yes Jaunty | 22:53 |
| Chousuke | shawn_: I don't know about the RAM... | 22:53 |
| Timarvay | Alright, I'm reading through the instructions to partition again. Is there a way to tell how much RAM I have without cracking my computer open and looking inside? | 22:53 |
| Nin12 | Timarvay, type cat /proc/meminfo | 22:53 |
| Chousuke | shawn_: run "top". how much RAM does it show? | 22:53 |
| Timarvay | Do I type that here? | 22:53 |
| anvo | What is the "web server document root" folder...? | 22:53 |
| sebsebseb | !terminal | Timarvay | 22:53 |
| ubottu | Timarvay: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 22:53 |

| Timarvay | Thanks everyone! | 22:54 |
| Chousuke | shawn_: weird. | 22:54 |
| Nin12 | shawn_, u sure it actually has more than that? | 22:54 |
| Chousuke | shawn_: it's not disabled in the BIOS or anything? | 22:54 |
| anvo | I mean, where is it located...? | 22:54 |
| shawn_ | Nin12 I have 6GB DDR2 | 22:54 |
| iceroot | shawn_: my 64bit system is saying 2.6.28-15-generic so there is no amd64 in the string | 22:54 |
| iceroot | shawn_: i am sorry for that | 22:54 |
| shawn_ | iceroot Oh | 22:54 |
| Chousuke | shawn_: are you sure your motherboard supports more than ~3.2GB? | 22:55 |
| shawn_ | Chousuke: How would I know if its disabled in the Bios | 22:55 |
| sebsebseb | Timarvay: you should sort out that infected XP install really as well, by either attempting to clean it, or by re installing. | 22:55 |
| ikonia | shawn_: show me the output of "uname -a" please. | 22:55 |
| iceroot | shawn_: but 3.2 gb sounds hard like 32bit issue | 22:55 |
| andrew__ | umm any idea where to look for help on a bash command ? | 22:55 |
| mgv2 | what if i want any search i make on the internet to be submitted to a website always. for example i do amazon search but i want that my search will also be just submited to a search engine other than amazon? | 22:55 |
| Chousuke | shawn_: you would have to look through the BIOS settings :/ | 22:55 |
| shawn_ | Chousuke: How can I check if my motherboard supports it | 22:55 |
| Chousuke | shawn_: I suppose you'd need to look at the manual | 22:55 |
| ikonia | shawn_: show me the output of "uname -a" please. | 22:55 |
| Timarvay | Sebsebsec: I was planning on trying to deal with it from here. I hit a wall when I couldn't go into Safemode. | 22:55 |
| sebsebseb | Timarvay: and it makes things a bit easier if Windows is installed first, when doing dual boots | 22:55 |
| shawn_ | ikonia Linux Shawns-Desktop 2.6.28-15-generic #49-Ubuntu SMP Tue Aug 18 19:25:34 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux | 22:55 |
| iceroot | Chousuke: his bios says 6gb at boot | 22:55 |
| ikonia | shawn_: ok - that's a 64bit kernel | 22:56 |
| Chousuke | iceroot: yeah. so probably it's supported | 22:56 |
| linuxgeek22 | my ram is 2.0 gb | 22:56 |
| Chousuke | iceroot: but who knows. BIOSes are weird. :/ | 22:56 |
| iceroot | Chousuke: but 3.2gb sounds hard like 32bit issue | 22:56 |
| ikonia | shawn_: can you pastebin the output of "cat /proc/meminfo" please | 22:56 |
| shawn_ | ikonia Alright | 22:56 |
| sebsebseb | Timarvay: ok as long as Windows was shut down properly, should be able to access it's partition, no problem, and then gain access to data that you can back up :) and re install the OS, a psyical install or virtual machine. You can also try deleting infected files using the Live CD. | 22:56 |
| shawn_ | ikonia http://pastebin.com/m4c28590c | 22:57 |
| anvo | Whete is the "web server document root" folder located...? | 22:57 |
| anvo | Whete=where! | 22:57 |
| iceroot | anvo: /var/www/ | 22:57 |
| Timarvay | Should be relatively easy. I'd prefer to keep the XP install and a few files, but I don't need anything else off it. | 22:57 |
| nmvictor | SBAR | 22:57 |
| tehC0unt | is it possible that i need to install the drivers before it will recognize my card? | 22:58 |
| sebsebseb | Timarvay: well it got infected, you should do a clean install of the OS really it's as simple as that, it could be doing quite a few bad things now, when it's loaded up and connected to the Internet. | 22:58 |

| Arabus | assinine: ok I do not know much about super-OS it might be that the flash plugin uses the wrong sound driver. To change that, try to find the properties option of said player. | 23:09 |
| iceroot | is there an alternative to iptables? (cant use iptables because its a vroot) | 23:09 |
| bbb1 | @purpzey: I'm trying to use ndiswrapper | 23:09 |
| bbb1 | the next step is to do that | 23:09 |
| shawn_ | Halitech One sec I have it written here somewhere | 23:09 |
| sebsebseb | Timarvay: or make a new partition, or delete everything from the Windows partition except the data, I have done that before | 23:09 |
| bbb1 | going by https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper | 23:09 |
| Arabus | iceroot: try ufw | 23:09 |
| assinine | Arabus: how do I find out which flash plugin it is? | 23:09 |
| afallenhope | iceroot, netfilter.. | 23:09 |
| Timarvay | SebSebSeb: Can I pull the disk out and burn to a new one without upsetting Ubuntu? | 23:09 |
| iceroot | Arabus: its using iptables in the background imo | 23:10 |
| Nin12 | iceroot, you sure iptables doenst work? my vps has it | 23:10 |
| afallenhope | Arabus, ufw is simply a iptables front | 23:10 |
| sebsebseb | Timarvay: well when I did it wasn't exactly data, but this is irelivant. Ok you only got one CD drive? | 23:10 |
| iceroot | Nin12: my not | 23:10 |
| Arabus | assinine: I asume you use a browser to open a web page where you want to play a flash video ? | 23:10 |
| Timarvay | Sebsebseb: Afraid so. | 23:10 |
| afallenhope | font-end | 23:10 |
| sebsebseb | Timarvay: USB stick? external hard disk? | 23:10 |
| Nin12 | iceroot, and if you install it? apt-get install iptables | 23:10 |
| assinine | Arabus: yes | 23:10 |
| iceroot | Nin12: i am using the kernel from the host, not from my vm | 23:10 |
| iceroot | Nin12: i cant access kernel-moduls | 23:10 |
| shawn_ | Halitech It is an Intel 965 motherboard | 23:11 |
| DasEi | shawn_: you get prbly set your bios to auto ram settings, have a url of the manual meanwhile ? more a question for #hardware, maybe let's go over, less crowded | 23:11 |
| Timarvay | Sebsebseb:USB I can do. Didn't think of that, but probably the best way. | 23:11 |
| shawn_ | Halitech It is an Intel P965 motherboard* | 23:11 |
| Arabus | assinine: depending on the browser you use there should be an addons option in the top bar | 23:11 |
| iceroot | afallenhope: i will have a look at netfilter, thx | 23:11 |
| Flannel | Nin12: You don't burn a 950MB iso to a CD, where did you get one that was 950MB? | 23:11 |
| afallenhope | iceroot, np. it's the same company... | 23:11 |
| Flannel | nimrod_: ^^ Sorry Nin12 | 23:11 |
| Nin12 | iceroot, It works with OpenVZ also using the host kernel, u probably have some other virtualization system then. you can try adding a route sending all traffic to that ip to the lo interface | 23:11 |
| assinine | Arabus: you mean like under tools in FireFx? | 23:12 |
| Arabus | yes | 23:12 |
| iceroot | Nin12: hm, imo its openvz here | 23:12 |
| iceroot | Nin12: openvcp it is here | 23:12 |
| Nin12 | iceroot, then it should work, but u cant use every module | 23:12 |
| Halitech | shawn_, this says up to 800mhz http://www.intel.com/products/desktop/chipsets/p965/p965-overview.htm | 23:12 |
| nimrod_ | Flannel, i found a iso who are over 900mb, but it wont burn on a dvd | 23:13 |
| Nin12 | iceroot, im 99% sure openvcp lets u use iptables try installing it | 23:13 |
| assinine | Arabus: It says I have shockwave flash. | 23:13 |
| iceroot | Nin12: it is installed but says it cant access some kernel-moduls | 23:13 |
| Flannel | nimrod_: Which ISO is this? | 23:13 |
| Nin12 | nimrod0, try burning it to a cd, you can if you use overburn, but the disk will be bad quality, whats the iso for? | 23:13 |
| Nin12 | iceroot, ok sucks. they disabled it probably, or the host kernel hasn't got iptables | 23:14 |
| nimrod_ | Flannel, it is a Linux distro. | 23:14 |
| iceroot | Nin12: yes, that should be the reason :( | 23:14 |

| Arabus | assinine: you might try reinstalling it - for this you have to remove the plugin | 23:14 |
| Timarvay | SebSebSeb: Well, I'm going to go do that. Thanks for everything. | 23:14 |
| Flannel | nimrod_: You'll need to ask their support places how to use it. | 23:14 |
| sebsebseb | Timarvay: see my pm | 23:15 |
| Nin12 | nimrod try going with santrex if you can change, cheap and good and with iptables | 23:15 |

| shawn_ | Halitech no it said : Error 28 selected file cannot be booted or something like that | 23:17 |
| Halitech | shawn_, so you couldn't get into memtest from grub? | 23:17 |
| shawn_ | Halitech negative | 23:17 |
| Halitech | shawn_, do you have a live cd kicking around? | 23:18 |

| DreamsofanEagle | The player that comes with Ubuntu will crash the system if you try and play music for anything longer than 5 minutes :( | 23:19 |
| Halitech | shawn_, with 6gig, its probably going to take awhile | 23:19 |
| Bodsda | Hi, if I am running compiz, is that my window manager? meaning I am no longer using metacity? | 23:19 |
| KB1JWQ | DreamsofanEagle: VLC should work. | 23:19 |
| shawn_ | Halitech Oh... Like how long? | 23:19 |
| purpzey | DreamsofanEagle: Have you tried VLC? | 23:19 |
| soreau | Bodsda: Correct | 23:19 |

| Halitech | shawn_, yes it will | 23:20 |
| Bodsda | soreau: Paddy_NI -- are you both saying that I am not using using metacity? | 23:20 |
| Paddy_NI | Bodsda, Compiz replaces gtk-window-decorator where as emerald would replace metacity.. I think :P | 23:20 |
| shawn_ | Halitech Thank you | 23:20 |
| XDS2010 | I'd like to start a ubuntu section there | 23:20 |

| Gnea | !audacious | 23:21 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about audacious | 23:21 |
| soreau | Bodsda: Yes. Compiz is a WM and so is metacity. Only one WM can run at any given time | 23:21 |

| dragon | bbb1: what are you trying to accomplish? | 23:22 |
| soreau | assinine: To select between compiz and metacity in ubuntu, use sys>prefs>appearance>visual effects tab. None will select metacity. Anything else will be compiz | 23:22 |

| iceroot | i have the source of a package, but i am not root, can i install/make the source to a binary without root? | 23:36 |
| jrib | iceroot: yes and no | 23:37 |
| iceroot | jrib: i know the step ./configure && make && sudo make install | 23:37 |
| jrib | iceroot: you can definitely compile it, but you can only install it to a directory your user can write to | 23:37 |
| jrib | iceroot: what are you doing exactly? | 23:37 |
| iceroot | jrib: i want to use yakuake on my system without root | 23:37 |
| iceroot | jrib: cant use apt-get | 23:38 |
| jrib | iceroot: why? | 23:38 |
| iceroot | jrib: i am not root and i am not in the sudoers | 23:38 |
| jrib | iceroot: ok, but why? | 23:38 |
| jrib | iceroot: someone else is admin? | 23:38 |
| iceroot | jrib: because my boss is root? | 23:38 |
| jrib | iceroot: easiest way is to just ask him to install yakuake, but sure you can build yakuake yourself in your ~ and run it from there | 23:39 |
| iceroot | jrib: we ill not do that | 23:39 |
| iceroot | jrib: so i can use make, to get the binary and can start that one | 23:39 |
| jrib | iceroot: when you run ./configure, you want to specify a prefix in your ~, not /usr/local as it usually is by default | 23:40 |

| jrib | dsdeiz: read some debian documentation on update-alternatives I guess | 23:42 |
| peska | Whats up everyone | 23:42 |

| dsdeiz | VCoolio: it doesn't come out there | 23:44 |
| jrib | Bodsda: you can ignore that | 23:44 |
| Bodsda | jrib: then your instructions were near perfect... again :) | 23:44 |
| as_ | speaking of dual screens... can anyone provide insight on configuring for tv-out with early ati radeon? | 23:44 |
| dracnoc | peska: we've all been at "Day One" with Ubuntu - we've all been beginners. You got a question? Just ask it! | 23:45 |
| VCoolio | dsdeiz: ok, well, with galternatives you can add stuff, so use that | 23:45 |
| jrib | Bodsda: i think i saw a howto on the forums that might address the panel issue if you care | 23:45 |
| tomas | hey guys just a question is there a way to install a mail server on ubuntu using XAMPP | 23:45 |
| Bodsda | jrib: hit me :) | 23:45 |
| bbb | jrib: are you still around? | 23:45 |
| jrib | bbb: yes | 23:45 |
| VCoolio | dsdeiz: sudo update-alternatives --set x-www-browser /path/to/swiftweasel | 23:45 |
| peska | well I got this really good ebook i started reading and it said that the community was the place to go | 23:45 |
| dsdeiz | VCoolio: ahh, thanks | 23:46 |
| VCoolio | dsdeiz: according to update-alternatives --help | 23:46 |
| peska | so im just checkin things out introducing myself | 23:46 |
| Bodsda | peska: thats one truthfull e-book right there | 23:46 |
| dracnoc | peska, yep, we're here. Welcome! | 23:46 |
| peska | lol | 23:46 |
| bbb | jrib: one last thing, everytime I go restart the computer, I have to go back to the hardware app, and re activate the broadcom. Is there any way this can be automatic? | 23:46 |
| Bodsda | peska: you may want to pop into #ubuntu-offtopic though, as this is a support channel | 23:46 |
| peska | k | 23:46 |
| jrib | bbb: that's a bug, I don't know why that happens | 23:46 |
| bbb | jrib: this is a new install besides all the ndiswrapper junk | 23:47 |
| VCoolio | dsdeiz: after --set you still have to do the --config to make swiftweasel default I think | 23:47 |
| bbb | jrib: could ndiswrapper have done that? | 23:47 |
| afallenhope | Hey, I'm having an issue installing modules. When I try install modules they go to /lib/modules/2.6.28.10/extra instead of /lib/modules/2.6.28-15-generic/extra | 23:47 |
| peska | um... how do I get there lol | 23:48 |
| kewl1 | hi everybody!!! i am on liveCD session cause my grub can´t load. erro 11 popup when i try HDD boot! wt to do??? | 23:48 |
| jrib | bbb: all I can tell you is that it works as expected on my macbook. If it's a new install and you want to see if it really is a bug or if it is because of somethings you did with ndiswrapper, then reinstall real quick. If it persists, you should file a bug (and come back here to see if anyone can figure out what is going on). Also check bugs.ubuntu.com before actuallying filing to see if a bug already | 23:48 |
| jrib | exists | 23:48 |
| sebsebseb | peska: /join #ubuntu-offtopic | 23:48 |
| bbb | jrib: reinstall ubuntu? | 23:48 |
| peska_ | /join #ubuntu-offtopic | 23:49 |
| jrib | bbb: right, you said it was a new install anyway so I'm guessing you won't lose anything | 23:49 |
| dracnoc | ok... who told peska to quit? | 23:49 |
| dracnoc | :) | 23:49 |
| bbb | jrib: right, but couldn't I just install the app, or did it do damage already? | 23:49 |
| delsol | is there a linux or ubuntu distribution for the HP iPaq | 23:49 |
| jrib | bbb: I don't know what you did | 23:49 |
| === delsol is now known as Sun3vi1 | ||
| bbb | jrib: I installed a few drivers and the interface thing for ndis | 23:50 |
| jrib | bbb: how? | 23:50 |
| bbb | jrib: using the interface | 23:50 |
| Deathvalley122 | can someone tell me why remote desktop freezes for other people? | 23:50 |
| jrib | bbb: what interface? | 23:50 |
| bbb | jrib: "Windows Wireless Drivers" | 23:50 |
| iceroot | !details | Deathvalley122 | 23:50 |
| ubottu | Deathvalley122: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 23:50 |
| jrib | bbb: I'm not familiar with it. Anyway, it may be interfering | 23:51 |
| bbb | jrib: so you think reinstall then bug? | 23:51 |
| jrib | bbb: you can do what you said and try removing ndiswrapper first | 23:51 |
| Deathvalley122 | how can I explain this it just freezes for other people theres no logs to it | 23:51 |
| afallenhope | Hey, I'm having an issue installing modules. When I try install modules they go to /lib/modules/2.6.28.10/extra instead of /lib/modules/2.6.28-15-generic/extra | 23:51 |
| NerveClasp | hi! sorry to interrupt, but whatc chanell is for ubuntu 9.10 | 23:51 |
| bbb | jrib: would that be in add/remove? | 23:51 |
| jrib | !karmic | NerveClasp | 23:52 |
| ubottu | NerveClasp: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 29th, 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 | 23:52 |
| jrib | bbb: yeah | 23:52 |
| kewl1 | is there only bbb and jrib here??? | 23:52 |
| jrib | kewl1: no | 23:52 |
| bbb | kewl: no | 23:52 |
| jrib | kewl1 is here too it seems :) | 23:52 |
| edi_99 | Hi guys. I would really love to learn PHP. Can somebody tell me how to setup the "virtual" server... apache, mysql...? | 23:52 |
| kewl1 | :P | 23:52 |
| NerveClasp | thnx | 23:53 |
| jrib | !lamp | edi_99 | 23:53 |
| ubottu | edi_99: 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+) | 23:53 |
| dbugger | Hi! Im trying to configure stunnel4 to get hotmail in mail notification, but when I try to start stunnel4, i ger this: | 23:53 |
| jrib | edi_99: not sure what you mean by "virtual" | 23:53 |
| dbugger | 2009.09.25 00:51:58 LOG3[21084:3083131088]: /etc/stunnel/mail.pem: No such file or directory (2) | 23:53 |
| dbugger | [Failed: /etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf] | 23:53 |
| purpzey | If I upgrade my system to jaunty using "Upgrade" from the software sources menu will it keep my application information (e.g. what i have installed, and my personal data) or will it be a clean install? | 23:53 |
| kewl1 | i am on liveCD session cause my grub can´t load. erro 11 popup when i try HDD boot! wt to do??? | 23:53 |
| jrib | purpzey: it will keep everything | 23:53 |
| dracnoc | purpzey: you should be good | 23:53 |
| edi_99 | jrib: server that is not actually a real server, more like a simulation on my comp | 23:53 |
| Sun3vi1 | is there a channel for backtrack 3 | 23:54 |
| jrib | edi_99: I think you just want to run a real server locally... But if you wish you can install another copy of ubuntu in a virtual machine like virtualbox and install it there | 23:54 |
| JohnCDI | sun3vi1 #remote-exploit | 23:54 |
| Sun3vi1 | thank you | 23:55 |
| bbb | jrib: weird... when I clicked "Activate" again in the hardware app, it disabled the wireless | 23:55 |
| bbb | jrib: should I just file a bug? | 23:55 |
| afallenhope | Hi I'm having issues with installing modules. I'm trying to compile a wireless driver. and when it installs it goes to /lib/modules/2.6.28.10/extra rather than my kernel's version which is /lib/modules/2.6.28-15-generic any ideas? | 23:55 |
| purpzey | jrib: Will it go from 8.04 and step upwards or will it try to jump up straight to 9.04? | 23:55 |
| jrib | bbb: I think you should see if it happens on a clean install first | 23:55 |
| JohnCDI | afallenhope what wireless device are you using? | 23:56 |
| bbb | jrib: ok, thanks for helping on this channel. will do that tomorrow. bye. | 23:56 |
| JohnCDI | brand model | 23:56 |
| jrib | purpzey: you must go through intermediate releases. The exception is if you upgrade from one LTS version to another LTS version | 23:56 |
| afallenhope | JohnCDI, it's ANY module I try to install.. wether it be the rt73 or avld (dummy loopback video driver) | 23:56 |
| kewl1 | how can i recover my last boot grub loader? | 23:56 |
| edi_99 | jrib: no no, the first option seems just fine. I do remember that a few month back I have installed LAMP and I couldn't get to my regular desktop (actually boot into the GUI). Do you maybe know why? | 23:57 |
| petafile | If I were to install the last alpha of karmic, will the update manager take care of all update through the beta and final releases? | 23:57 |
| jrib | edi_99: not offhand no (that shouldn't happen) | 23:57 |
| jrib | petafile: yes, but this question belongs in #ubuntu+1 | 23:58 |
| edi_99 | jrib: so if I install LAMP through apt everything will be exactly like now, just with the server installed? | 23:58 |
| kewl1 | after the last upgrade ocurred some issues, my ubuntu can ´t load anymore...error 11 popup me... Any ideas? | 23:58 |
| jrib | edi_99: correct | 23:58 |
| afallenhope | !grub | 23:59 |
| 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 | 23:59 |
| jrib | kewl1: it's important that you tell people it is grub error 11, not just some error 11. You might check grub's documentation to see what error 11 means exactly | 23:59 |
| edi_99 | jrib: sweet. Thank you very much | 23:59 |
| afallenhope | !grub > kewl1 | 23:59 |
| ubottu | kewl1, please see my private message | 23:59 |
| kewl1 | "error 11: unrecognized device string" | 23:59 |
