| Nitrodist | fsufitch, if you even have to ask... :> | 00:02 |
| fsufitch | habermann24, such as schoolwork :) | 00:02 |
| fsufitch | and i'll ask in #ubuntuone | 00:02 |
| habermann24 | fsufitch: i have ALL my important files on a ubuntu server | 00:03 |
| fsufitch | though i guess my question answered itself since I just got 503'd by one.ubuntu.com | 00:03 |
| Gr1nreaper | I'd really appreciate help on this as I'm new at this linux thing | 00:03 |
| habermann24 | fsufitch: i would say ubuntu is a much better choice to save files than Windows :D | 00:03 |
| vadimy | coldblood, well, if you mean a console tool, I don't really know what to do with it... | 00:03 |
| colblood | just make sure master etc arent muted | 00:04 |
| habermann24 | use software raid1 or something if you're feeling bad | 00:04 |
| vadimy | coldblood, I think I just need to configure some .asoundrc file right, but after I've tried so many copies of them I don't really know what to do | 00:04 |
| vadimy | coldblood, nope... they aren't | 00:04 |
| colblood | k | 00:04 |
| colblood | are you using digital or analog output? | 00:04 |
| fsufitch | habermann24, doubtless. i use ubuntu as my main OS, but i was wondering if i should keep my homework and such on my local hard drive or on some remote place | 00:04 |
| fsufitch | i guess i'll wait until the actual release of 9.10 :) | 00:05 |

| vadimy | coldblood, actually I don't know.. | 00:05 |
| Nitrodist | fsufitch, you should keep it in TWO different physical places | 00:05 |
| Gr1nreaper | the array is there, windows knows it, why can't ubuntu show it just like my IDE partitions? | 00:05 |
| vadimy | coldblood, how to find out that? | 00:05 |

| abdullah | <fearful> tried that with no success :( | 00:23 |

| cody_ | This is PCTeacher012, idk, it says someone has my username -_-But i think im switching to fedora haha :P | 00:25 |
| starcannon | MichaelKohler, the easy way to do it would be "cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf", then "sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf", then "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" this should get you a nice default xorg.conf back | 00:25 |
| abdullah | <fearful> ok i´ll tale a deep look :) | 00:25 |
| fearful | abdullah, why so its pretty simple just four commands if you have the compiling tools. | 00:25 |
| MichaelKohler | starcannon: but what does this have to do with the grub.cfg_ | 00:25 |
| starcannon | Michael that first command should have been "cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf ~/xorg.conf.bak" | 00:25 |

| Rakko | Another question: I compiled and installed a custom kernel module, and it worked fine. Well, since then I've updated the kernel package, so now it doesn't load. Is there something I can do that would allow it to load even after upgrading the kernel (without having to recompile the module every time)? | 00:27 |
| MichaelKohler | oh I guess I can ask in another matter > how can I find out the root=UUID= of my kernel using a live cd? | 00:28 |

| starcannon | MichaelKohler, I think the command you want to use from a liveCD would be "grub-install" be sure to man it, I'll see if I can locate you a guide | 00:28 |
| === whodevil_ is now known as whodevil | ||
| scunizi | Rakko: sometimes installing dkms will allow the kernel updates to be updated as well.. other than that you're stuck redoing the kernel manually | 00:29 |

| MichaelKohler | starcannon: I do not mind if I would have grub after that instead of grub2.. at least my ubuntu would work again | 00:29 |
| starcannon | MichelKohler I just found this rather quickly, be sure to back up any files that will be changed so that you can always get back to your last known config: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351 | 00:30 |

| chai | anyone know how to change the default "new window location" or something like that? | 00:49 |

| alchamech | hello everyone | 00:52 |
| chai | when i open a new application, the window is placed halfway off my screen. | 00:53 |
| chai | how can i fix this? | 00:53 |
| alchamech | has anyone figured out how to use magic jack w/ ubuntu yet? | 00:53 |
| darkstar999 | chai: what is your screen resolution? | 00:53 |
| lloowen | hello ! Could the commands 'sudo apt-get install xinetd' or 'sudo apt-get update' mess up a Ubuntu server that has web, sftp, ssh, vnc and samba installed? | 00:54 |
| lstarnes | lloowen: why do you ask? | 00:54 |
| scunizi | alchamech: if you know the parameters you might be able to get twinkle or ekiga to work with it. | 00:54 |
| mezquitale | anyone that has experience with virtual machines, which open source virtual machine do you recommend? kvm or virtualbox? | 00:54 |
| chai | darkstar999: my res is like 1024x748 or something | 00:54 |
| scunizi | virtualbox | 00:54 |
| alchamech | scunizi: ok thanx | 00:54 |
| darkstar999 | virtualbox 100% | 00:54 |
| lloowen | because my web server is down, ssh down, sftp down, | 00:55 |
| maco | mezquitale: vbox has a gui. kvm is all command line and slightly confusing. pick one. | 00:55 |
| lloowen | This is on a friends LAN so I used to access using putty | 00:55 |
| engla | hi. an apt url, is it apt:package or apt://package? | 00:55 |
| lstarnes | engla: apt://package? | 00:55 |
| engla | ok | 00:55 |
| mezquitale | maco, i can handle the command line but is it stable enough so I can install and use XP every now and then? | 00:56 |
| lstarnes | lloowen: it would depend on what is being updated and what xinetd is set to serve | 00:56 |
| Rakko | Did something recently change in Ubuntu (since 9.04 was released) regarding building third-party modules? I have source for a module, and previously the makefile built a .ko file -- but now it only builds a .o file, and insmod/modprobe don't know how to use it :( | 00:56 |
| maco | mezquitale: its stable, sure...but im not sure it does non-linux guests | 00:56 |
| lstarnes | lloowen: it may be an unrelated issue, like IP addresses changing or firewalling | 00:56 |
| === jay is now known as Guest65409 | ||
| darksmac | hey guys any one have any experience installing libnl | 00:57 |
| lloowen | At first I thoughti it was a IP address and firewall issue. But I don't think so as my friend who can access the machine says these servers are down his end. | 00:57 |
| mezquitale | maco, would you happen to know which one is faster? I have a 64 bit AMD processor with 4 gigs of memory | 00:57 |
| lloowen | I suspect I threw a spanner in the works installing xinetd | 00:58 |
| lloowen | as ubuntu uses inetd | 00:58 |
| lloowen | does it not! | 00:58 |
| misfitx7 | can anyone suggest an application to burn multiple cd's at once | 00:58 |
| lstarnes | lloowen: xinetd/inetd wouldn't really intefere when it uses its default config | 00:58 |
| maco | mezquitale: kvm's qemu based, so its supposed to be very fast | 01:00 |

| lloowen | Istarnes: What could I ask my friend to do to check? What commands could he try? | 01:01 |
| test34 | chris_: try #ubuntu+1 | 01:01 |
| maco | chris_: ok so 9.10. that's in #ubuntu+1 | 01:01 |
| lstarnes | lloowen: I'm not sure | 01:01 |
| lloowen | I suggested 'ps aux' and ' | 01:02 |
| lloowen | netstat -an | grep LISTEN' | 01:02 |
| matrixwhiz | only speaker work ,my earphone didn't work ,why | 01:03 |
| mezquitale | maco, thank you for the input, i think i will try virtualbox first and then if I find it's too slow then I'll try kvm | 01:03 |
| lloowen | pinging to the server does not get through even though he says the ports are open | 01:03 |
| mezquitale | matrixwhiz, have you tried changing the settings in the "sound" applet?? | 01:03 |

| _murphy_ | how do I override that or remove it | 01:13 |
| mikau | Evening folks. Trying out Karmic beta and notices the XScript-login option is missing, is there any way to get that one back? | 01:13 |
| etyrnal | how can i move grub from hd1 (ubuntu), to hd0 (XP) and make it reside and function from there? (i need to remove hd1) -- i've tried "grub-install install_device" and it claims to succed... but when i reboot with hd1 unplugged i get "error 21" | 01:13 |
| starcannon | _murphy_ are you using 9.10 beta? | 01:14 |
| darkstar999 | etyrnal: why do you want to do that? | 01:14 |
| tare1off | when i am booting up my screen says "you have 3 seconds to hit ESC to load the grub menu" ? what is the grub menu, what can i do in there? | 01:14 |
| _murphy_ | nope, sorry. 9.04 | 01:15 |
| starcannon | tareloff grub menu will give you a list of installed kernels to boot from, and alternate operating systems | 01:15 |
| _murphy_ | i should have clarified | 01:15 |
| PCTeacher012_Rea | tareloff, The grub menu has Safe boot, Normal boot | 01:15 |
| etyrnal | darkstar999, because hd1 may be dying, and i'd like to remove it, and have the system still be able to boot XP | 01:15 |
| darkstar999 | etyrnal: will you still have linux installed? | 01:15 |
| tare1off | PCTeacher: thank you, is that like windows safe mode or something? | 01:15 |
| Cyrano_De | Anyone know of a good "System Profile" chooser? What I would like to to change what services are started and my desktop setting on the laptop depending on where I am. | 01:15 |
| darkstar999 | etyrnal: if not, you can just to a "fixmbr" with xp | 01:15 |
| PCTeacher012_Rea | tareloff, if you have windows installed ,yet. Linux "safe mode" is called recovery mode | 01:15 |
| etyrnal | eventually... but not for a while, and kids would still ike ot be able to use machine =) | 01:15 |
| PCTeacher012_Rea | Grub Menu also lets you boot from XP if you have it tareloff | 01:16 |
| mikau | Anyone here experienced with Awesome window manager? | 01:16 |
| tare1off | PCTeacher: oh but when i intalled ubuntu i tild the guy i wanted windows erased? | 01:16 |
| IdleOne | etyrnal: kids would probably have an easier time with transition to linux | 01:16 |
| IdleOne | then us "adults" | 01:16 |
| PCTeacher012_Rea | tareloff: Then it was erased. I was not sure whether or not it was kept on there | 01:16 |
| etyrnal | IdleOne, they inly use XP for playing Mame. The regular fam 'puter is a Mac | 01:17 |
| etyrnal | only^ | 01:17 |
| _murphy_ | starcannon: any idea? | 01:17 |
| tare1off | PCTeacher: however people tell me it wont be gone unless we partitoned and formatted and i didnt see that happen (newbie) | 01:17 |
| PCTeacher012_Rea | tareloff: So now, it only has the following options: Ubuntu (Kernel Number), and Ubuntu Recovery Mode (Kernel Number) and possible others if more than 1 kernel is installed | 01:17 |
| darkstar999 | etyrnal: I would take the HD out and do a FIXMBR with windows | 01:17 |
| PCTeacher012_Rea | tareloff: When you installed it, it gave you the option to eiter: Resize the windows partition and install windows by it, or wipe the disk and install ubuntu on it all. Which did you choose? | 01:18 |
| Kruppe | If anyone has the time to help i've got a few troubleshooting questions on Ubuntu, i'm rather new to it, PM if possible | 01:18 |
| starcannon | _murphy_ none, yet still looking | 01:18 |
| darkstar999 | etyrnal: if you want linux back later, restore grub | 01:18 |
| PCTeacher012_Rea | and install ubuntu by it i mean | 01:18 |
| tare1off | PCTeacher: but when i start up it says what i told you, not what you just said | 01:18 |
| _murphy_ | starcannon: looks like it may have been the "mouseemu" package | 01:18 |
| _murphy_ | confirming | 01:18 |
| roffe | how do I auto mount drives on startup? | 01:18 |
| starcannon | _murphy_ I"m not finding anything on google; I'd suggest looking at System>Preferences>Keyboard Shortcuts to start with | 01:18 |
| PCTeacher012_Rea | tareloff: To see what i am saying, you hit the ESC button, and it shows those. If you just wait the (3??) seconds and it will load normally into the default OS (Normally ubuntu if it is installed on the hard disk) | 01:19 |
| starcannon | _murphy_ ah, I've never used mouseemu | 01:19 |
| _murphy_ | starcannon: yeah, that was weird, looks like mouseemu is installed by default | 01:19 |
| tare1off | PCTeacher: they were giving me instuctuions on here (used 2 outer to talk) and when the time came i told them to tell me how to wipe out and do clean install | 01:19 |
| puppysgt | can anyone tell me if there are any active dansguardian channels | 01:19 |
| Kruppe | Can someone please PM me for troubleshooting help on a boot error | 01:19 |
| _murphy_ | I was getting frustrated! :) thanks for your help | 01:19 |
| lstarnes | puppysgt: probably not | 01:19 |
| PCTeacher012_Rea | tareloff: And what did they say? | 01:19 |
| tare1off | PSTeacher: at work now not on that puter | 01:20 |
| eido | how do i chroot from a live boot to a partition on a drive? do i need to mount the drive first from dev? | 01:20 |
| starcannon | _murphy_ , it may be worth going back to 8.04, then wait a month and try out 9.10. | 01:20 |
| tare1off | PCTeacher: at work not on that puter now..BUT when i get home if i hit ESC during boot up, will that infrom me if w98 is gone? | 01:20 |
| PCTeacher012_Rea | tare1off, Okay. Well, when you are on that computer, when it is loading, hit the ESC button when it asks you if you want to, if you see any windows, it was not wiped. If you dont see anything referring to windows, it was wiped. | 01:20 |
| _murphy_ | yeah, that's what I'm thinking I may do, starcanning | 01:21 |
| _murphy_ | cannon! | 01:21 |
| PCTeacher012_Rea | if you see anything referring to windows* | 01:21 |
| tare1off | PCTeacher: thanks you are the only one in 3 days of asking who told me this | 01:21 |
| puppysgt | what would be the best way to get involved to give and get advice and learn more about dansguardian | 01:21 |

| etyrnal | darkstar999, so if the XP drive has hd0,0 hd0,1 (some dell part) and hd0,2 (XP) ... r u saying it's NOT possible? i don't think i have the xp home disc... pc was given to us. is there an alternate way of fixing mbr? | 01:21 |
| tare1off | PCTeacher: was worried it would be coded and not say windows or something a computer dork would understand | 01:22 |
| Kruppe | Anyone around to help? | 01:22 |
| etyrnal | Kruppe, with what? | 01:22 |
| tare1off | PCTeacher: now; once i hit ESC and get my answer how do i get oout of it without messin up my install? | 01:22 |
| darkstar999 | etyrnal: The fixmbr command is only available when you are using the Recovery Console (from the CD). It would fix your problem i'm pretty sure. | 01:22 |
| |nightrid3r| | etyrnal: grab a win95 boot floppy and do an fdisk /mbr | 01:23 |
| PCTeacher012_Rea | tare1off, Haha, i love computers so i know tones :3 It will say windows (Version of windows installed), then ubuntu and safe mode or recovery mode if both are installed. If only ubuntu is installed, only ubuntu options show up | 01:23 |
| Pulsewidth | If I install the 9.10 beta now, will I be able to smoothly upgrade to the full release without reinstalling? | 01:23 |

| PCTeacher012_Rea | tare1off: You can either: Just choose the option with ubuntu (Kernel number, it will be numbers) or just power off the computer. | 01:23 |
| tare1off | PCTeacher: how do i get back out of there without goofing up my install of buntu? | 01:23 |

| Mike_lifeguard | Hi, I'm trying to set up phpmyadmin with the standard jaunty package, but I'm simply getting 404s - is there anything I need to do beyond the setup stuff asked when running sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin? | 01:30 |
| PCTeacher012_Rea | They will be able to help more with 8.10 | 01:30 |
| shafiq | i just installed ubuntu | 01:30 |
| shafiq | first experience | 01:30 |
| tare1off | maco" what is that? | 01:30 |
| PCTeacher012_Rea | shafiq: Good, it is an amazing OS | 01:30 |
| PCTeacher012_Rea | :) | 01:30 |
| maco | tare1off: PCTeacher012_Rea corrected self saying "*better hardware" as in "oops, meant to say hardware, not software" | 01:30 |
| flippo | It's a shame that the early users of IRC consumed all the available punctuation and capital letters. | 01:30 |
| shafiq | let see bro pcteacher | 01:30 |
| darkstar999 | shafiq: I have been using ubuntu for years and I am still happy with it | 01:31 |
| tare1off | maco: oh i was wondering thanks | 01:31 |
| shafiq | thats great | 01:31 |
| shafiq | hope that i will learn from you | 01:31 |
| maco | shafiq: this is a support channel. if you want to just chat see #ubuntu-offtopic | 01:31 |
| shafiq | I want to be expert | 01:31 |
| darkstar999 | haha | 01:31 |
| eido | maco: so if i am chrooted to another partition and perform an update it will update that partition and not my live correct? | 01:31 |
| maco | eido: right | 01:31 |
| shafiq | ok no problem | 01:31 |
| PCTeacher012_Rea | shafiq: It will take quite a while. It is nothing like windows, but it is certainly worth learning | 01:31 |
| PCTeacher012_Rea | Shafiq: You can also PM me | 01:32 |
| shafiq | yes I hope that. youtube is not working like that | 01:32 |
| sebsebseb | PCTeacher012_Rea: It is like Windows, with differences here and there | 01:32 |
| shafiq | what version of flash is for ubuntu? | 01:32 |
| PCTeacher012_Rea | sebsebseb, Yea, but i find it different haha | 01:32 |
| shafiq | 9.04 | 01:32 |
| PCTeacher012_Rea | shafiq: Go to adobe's site | 01:32 |
| nerdy_kid | need a program like windows dialer.exe..... | 01:32 |
| maco | shafiq: you can install flash from applicaitons -> add/remove | 01:32 |
| PCTeacher012_Rea | they offer one for flash | 01:32 |
| PCTeacher012_Rea | for ubuntu | 01:32 |
| PCTeacher012_Rea | i mean | 01:33 |
| maco | PCTeacher012_Rea: no no thats the annoying way to do it | 01:33 |
| Cyrano_De | Anyone know of a good "System Profile" chooser? What I would like to to change what services are started and my desktop setting on the laptop depending on where I am. | 01:33 |
| shafiq | ok | 01:33 |
| dotakuis | its pretty new. ASUS desktop replacement | 01:33 |
| PCTeacher012_Rea | maco: That is how i did it since i was on the internet haha. I installed Gnash which was horrible | 01:33 |
| PCTeacher012_Rea | lol | 01:33 |
| maco | shafiq: actually if you install ubuntu-restricted-extras from there, itll pull in flash, java, mp3 and etc. | 01:33 |
| darkstar999 | shafiq: ubuntu-restricted-extras is the way to go | 01:33 |
| shafiq | I installed using wubi utality | 01:33 |
| PCTeacher012_Rea | WOOOAH! Something happened with cairo dock... haha | 01:33 |
| sebsebseb | maco: that's a command :) | 01:33 |
| tare1off | maco: i am thinking about buying a used business computer to replace this 11 year old dell/ubuntu computer...because the dand dell wont play youtubevids at the right speed-way to slow and choppy. do you thing a powerful business computer with a big processor will let the online vids play correctly? | 01:33 |
| sebsebseb | maco: oh nevermind | 01:34 |
| ryguy | Im on the karmic live cd and when I click "Install ubuntu 9.10" on my desktop, It goes through the installation steps just fine but when it goes to actually install ubuntu, the install program crashes | 01:34 |
| shafiq | what? | 01:34 |
| PCTeacher012_Rea | tare1off: Without a doubt. Did you install Adobe flash player and not one of its alternatives? | 01:34 |
| maco | tare1off: if your issue is the cpu not keeping pace, sure. any modern one should work | 01:34 |
| habermann24 | anyone know where i can change the sudo warning message?? i know in ubuntu there is none | 01:34 |
| tare1off | maco: yes i put flash in | 01:34 |
| shafiq | how to do that | 01:34 |
| shafiq | ? | 01:34 |
| Cyrano_De | !karmic |ryguy | 01:34 |
| ubottu | ryguy: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 29th, 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 | 01:34 |
| edbian | ryguy: You could also try updating to the newest version via the terminal: "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" | 01:34 |
| sebsebseb | shafiq: You can install programs using add/remove the synaptic package manager or on the command line, for example sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 01:34 |
| maco | shafiq: in applications ->add/remove you can search for "restricted" and itll offer "ubuntu-restricted-extras" | 01:34 |
| tare1off | maco: from what ican tell the old ATI drivers are not in ubuntu | 01:35 |
| ryguy | but I wont have ext3 | 01:35 |
| ryguy | er | 01:35 |
| ryguy | ext4 | 01:35 |
| maco | shafiq: hit the checkbox and hit apply, and itll install flash, java, and codecs for things like AAC, MP3, and all that | 01:35 |
| tare1off | maco: i have an old 8mb ATI card from 1998 | 01:35 |
| DeaCon | #ubuntu-us-mi | 01:35 |
| ryguy | and my connection is really slow | 01:35 |
| shafiq | ok bro let me to check | 01:35 |
| shafiq | i am bit slow :) | 01:35 |
| PCTeacher012_Rea | tare1off: Whoo, that is bad. | 01:35 |
| maco | tare1off: ah yeah i have one of those. works but doenst get full resolution rigth? | 01:35 |
| dan2077 | why am i missing animations in compiz? | 01:35 |
| tare1off | maco: it all worked with w98 though (utube) PCTeacher | 01:36 |
| maco | tare1off: thats because the full resoution was done in the windows driver. the hardware is unaware of it | 01:36 |
| edbian | dan2077: What do you mean "missing" ? | 01:36 |
| maco | tare1off: and the driver in linux can only do what the hardware says it can do | 01:36 |
| tare1off | maco: so i think i did figure out the problem then | 01:36 |
| dan2077 | edbian: yesterday i had animations such as beam up and fire, and today they disappeared from the list | 01:37 |
| shafiq | oh yah lot of things are there | 01:37 |
| shafiq | thanks bro | 01:37 |
| shafiq | how can i add you | 01:37 |
| shafiq | you are expert | 01:37 |
| shafiq | ? | 01:37 |
| tare1off | maco: figure ill get an HP dc5000 or 5100 or 7100, with a 2.8 to 3.2 gig motor and 1 gig ram and run ubuntu on it (on bord sound and graphics)...will that communbicate eith ubuntu? | 01:37 |
| edbian | dan2077: search "compiz" in synaptic. There are a couple packages regarding the plugins. If I remember right there are like 3 levels, base that come with compiz, additional which you need a package for, and extra which are like not fully working | 01:38 |
| Steil | 卍卍卍 | 01:38 |
| Steil | what is those mean? | 01:38 |
| PCTeacher012_Rea | Most people here are experts, if they help you, they usually are :) If they ask many question, they are likely not haha :) | 01:38 |
| tra421 | I must be missing something - with gdmsetup not giving an option to disable the start-up drumroll, where to look in 9.10(beta)? | 01:38 |
| PCTeacher012_Rea | Steil: Do not do that please, that can be offensive. That is a nazi swatika symbol | 01:38 |
| sebsebseb | tra421: #ubuntu+1 for 9.10 | 01:38 |
| mezquitale | Steil, how old are you, 12? | 01:38 |
| PCTeacher012_Rea | mezquitale, Lol | 01:39 |
| Steil | why is there character for it in ubuntu? | 01:39 |
| dan2077 | edbian: but is it normal for things just to disappear the next day? | 01:39 |
| Kruppe | PCTeacher012_Rea, i PM'd you with the basis of my problem | 01:39 |
| PCTeacher012_Rea | Steil: Ubuntu is very diverse | 01:39 |
| Steil | i thought that was what it was, but why is ubuntu support this: 卍? | 01:39 |
| mezquitale | Steil, there is also ubuntu satanic version, i'm wondering why they have that as well | 01:39 |
| Anal_Pandemonium | Everyone is at kung fu fighting... Everyone is faster than lighting | 01:39 |
| Steil | omg | 01:39 |
| PCTeacher012_Rea | Kruppe: I just notice sorry. The other PCTeacher is my account that is frozen | 01:39 |
| Steil | :*( | 01:39 |
| Kruppe | No problem | 01:40 |
| tra421 | sebsebseb: my mistake! :) | 01:40 |
| maco | tare1off: yeah, my roommate swears by hp. he's an ubuntu dev | 01:40 |
| PCTeacher012_Rea | mezquitale: Wow, really? That is amazing. I was going to download Ubuntu CE but i didnt want to wait 2 hours when i could just download the software it comes with ;) | 01:40 |
| maco | tare1off: i buy from a company that sells ubuntu laptops, though: zareason.com | 01:40 |
| PCTeacher012_Rea | maco: HP is def the best manufacturer. I have emachines though -_- and a dell haha both from 98 :P | 01:40 |
| sebsebseb | maco: nice | 01:41 |
| PCTeacher012_Rea | My next laptop will be from dell and will be preinstalled with ubuntu ^_^ | 01:41 |
| medjai | Anyone here have a Google Wave account? | 01:41 |
| sebsebseb | !ot | medjai | 01:41 |
| ubottu | medjai: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 01:41 |
| mezquitale | PCTeacher012_Rea, just do what I do, keep the download running all night, or just download the software if you dont really mind coexisting with everything else on regular ubuntu | 01:41 |
| tare1off | maco: good because the market is flooded with used HP business puters...OH i will go look at that website now for a bit thks | 01:41 |
| tare1off | BRB | 01:41 |
| PCTeacher012_Rea | Mezquitale: What i am doing now, though i am getting fedora instead haha | 01:42 |
| === mako-dono is now known as mako-sama | ||
| dan2077 | edbian: i downloaded all compiz plugins from synaptic but they're still missing | 01:42 |
| edbian | dan2077: It is not normal lol | 01:42 |
| edbian | dan2077: Are they missing from ccsm? Or do you just not have / know the buttons to activate them? | 01:42 |
| mezquitale | tare1off, just make sure the computer you buy has at the very least a Pentium 4 chip, anything else I wouldnt buy it | 01:43 |
| dan2077 | edbian: plus i noticed that im missing something called Animations: Extras | 01:43 |
| puppysgt | can anyone tell me if there are any active dansguardian channels for the Dansguardian web content filter | 01:43 |
| dan2077 | edbian: they're missing from ccsm | 01:43 |
| edbian | dan2077: That is almost certainly the packages, check your software sources | 01:43 |
| PCTeacher012_Rea | mezquitale, Why do you recommened a P4? Just wondering. I use it lol | 01:43 |
| perlsyntax | Can you update with apt-get or you have to wait? | 01:43 |
| perlsyntax | on ubuntu 9.10 | 01:43 |
| w0ls0n_ | can someone tell me why im not getting sound with an Audigy 2? | 01:44 |
| Berzerker | perlsyntax, #ubuntu+1 | 01:44 |
| shafiq | Does ubuntu size expands with the installation of new packages or it already reserved the place during first installation | 01:44 |
| maco | w0ls0n_: ummm that might be the creative where on *some* models you have to mute a certain output and on others you unmute...to toggle between analog and digital out | 01:44 |
| puppysgt | can anyone tell me if there are any active dansguardian channels for the Dansguardian web content filter | 01:45 |
| edbian | shafiq: The partition does not grow but the installation of new software does take more room inside the partition | 01:45 |
| maco | shafiq: it wont grow outside the partition, if thats what you mean | 01:45 |
| PCTeacher012_Rea | shafiq: It uses what is avaible to it. If you gave it 30GiB, it will use it | 01:45 |
| dan2077 | edbian: what do i check for in software sources? | 01:45 |
| rickross | hi, I have a server that had 2 SSDs in RAID0 and which got detected as /dev/sdb1 and /dev/sdc1 - but one of them failed and both had to be pulled - now the devices that came after have moved up by 2 letters in their naming | 01:45 |
| Tevil | hi | 01:45 |
| |nightrid3r| | puppysgt: maybe check the dansguardian site | 01:45 |
| rickross | can we force these devices to have arbitrary names like /dev/sdd1 ? | 01:45 |
| shafiq | ok but I gave it 3 GB only | 01:45 |
| edbian | dan2077: In the first tab what do you have enabled? | 01:45 |
| shafiq | ? | 01:45 |
| shafiq | is it enough | 01:46 |
| edbian | shafiq: It will be ok but there isn't a lot of room to install more software | 01:46 |
| Tevil | what java-web-package is the most compatible with websites? | 01:46 |
| dan2077 | edbian: everythingg | 01:46 |
| puppysgt | i did it said to try the #dansguardian channel | 01:46 |
| shafiq | oh sad | 01:46 |
| IdleOne | shafiq: 10GB would be better | 01:46 |
| mezquitale | when installing an OS in virtualbox, where does it get installed? Can you install an OS to its own partition? | 01:46 |
| PCTeacher012_Rea | shafiq: Then it will only use 3Gib. Yea, it will be enough, but it wont fit like 400 programs haha, more like 100 depending on size | 01:46 |
| puppysgt | i did and it was empty...no one in there | 01:46 |
| shafiq | cool | 01:46 |
| edbian | dan2077: That's odd, you should be getting these packages then. I'm not sure why they're missing. | 01:46 |
| sebsebseb | mezquitale: you get a virtual hard disk | 01:46 |
| maco | mezquitale: it goes into a file of whatever size you tell it | 01:46 |
| edbian | mezquitale: You create a file in the host os that acts as the guest's hard drive. | 01:46 |
| PCTeacher012_Rea | mezquitale: Yea, it gets its own hard disk (Virtual) | 01:46 |
| shafiq | coool | 01:46 |
| shafiq | thanks | 01:46 |
| sebsebseb | mezquitale: the file for that and the config files, will be in the hidden .virtualbox folder in home | 01:46 |
| dan2077 | edbian: maybe somehow it got downgraded? where do i check for the version of cssm? | 01:46 |
| PCTeacher012_Rea | shafiq: No problem | 01:46 |
| puppysgt | i would think that there would be more than one dansguardian irc channel | 01:47 |
| mezquitale | maco, but can I specify where the file should be stored or does it get automatically stored in a specific place? | 01:47 |
| PCTeacher012_Rea | mezquitale: You can specify | 01:47 |
| edbian | dan2077: Synaptic can tell you what version of the package you have. I don't think they got downgraded. I'm not sure where they are though :( | 01:47 |
| puppysgt | so any other suggestions | 01:47 |
| prozureus | What's the name of that program that shows you all the GTK widgets like progress-bars and tick-boxes? | 01:48 |
| IdleOne | puppysgt: the website | 01:48 |
| maco | mezquitale: ~/.Virtualbox i think | 01:48 |
| PCTeacher012_Rea | QT+ prozureus | 01:48 |
| mezquitale | sebsebseb, so I can to edit my .virtualbox and point it to a specific partition then? | 01:48 |
| sebsebseb | maco: yes that | 01:48 |
| puppysgt | idleone...you mean the dansguardian website | 01:48 |
| mezquitale | ok thanks, let me do that right now | 01:48 |
| prozureus | PCTeacher012, that does it for GTK? | 01:48 |
| prozureus | sounds like a QT based app | 01:48 |
| Crayboff | is there an equivilant of mojo or ourTunes for ubuntu? | 01:48 |
| sebsebseb | mezquitale: you want to boot a psyical install of Windows in Virtualbox? | 01:48 |
| IdleOne | puppysgt: yes. that would be the best place to get more info | 01:48 |
| sebsebseb | mezquitale: psyicall installs use partitions not virtual machines, they use virtual hard disks | 01:49 |
| puppysgt | idleone...like i just said i tried that...i went to the one that it said...it was empty | 01:49 |
| shafiq | one more question.my desktop window is divided in to 3 parts : top left,top right and bottom.bottom is the mirror of top left .top right is free I can't do anything with it.how can i use it | 01:49 |
| shafiq | ? | 01:49 |
| PCTeacher012_Rea | prozureus: I'm pretty sure | 01:49 |
| sebsebseb | mezquitale: and on those virtual hard disks you will partition in the same way you would a psyical install | 01:49 |
| puppysgt | idleone...i would think that there would be more | 01:49 |
| mezquitale | sebsebseb, I want to run XP on my ubuntu box using virtualbox, I want to install the virtual machine on an empty partition since I'm running out of space on "/", I have everything stored in "/" | 01:50 |
| dan2077 | edbian: if something were to somehow be removed, would the change be updated in synaptic? | 01:50 |
| PCTeacher012_Rea | 15 minutes till fedora is done :3 | 01:50 |
| sebsebseb | mezquitale: I see ok how big is your / | 01:50 |
| PCTeacher012_Rea | Ive always had trouble burning an iso in ubuntu though -_- lol | 01:50 |
| edbian | dan2077: Almost def. If not you have a MASSIVE problem. :) | 01:50 |
| mezquitale | sebsebseb, I have about 2 gigs left | 01:50 |
| sebsebseb | mezquitale: how big is it overall? | 01:50 |
| puppysgt | idleone...any other suggestions | 01:50 |
| sebsebseb | mezquitale: sounds like you have done a bad partition set up, hence running out of space | 01:51 |
| IdleOne | puppysgt: none | 01:51 |
| mezquitale | sebsebseb, "/" is about 10 gigs, my hard drive is 500 gigs | 01:51 |
| Rakko | I'm compiling a kernel module and it prints out things like "CC [M] /home/eric/Sources/opencbm-0.4.2a/sys/linux/cbm_module.o". How do I get it to print the actual command line instead? | 01:51 |
| prozureus | thewidgetfactory that's it :) | 01:51 |
| edbian | dan2077: The job of the package manager is to keep track of all the packages on the system. If the packages changes without it knowing it's very bad. Synaptic is a front end to the apt package manager | 01:51 |
| shafiq | any body reply? | 01:51 |
| sebsebseb | mezquitale: 10GB / is usauully fine, as long as people have a seperate /home as well | 01:51 |
| Tevil | anyone who can tell me what java-package i should install, to get the most out of my websurfing? | 01:51 |
| PCTeacher012_Rea | shafiq: I would but this one i have no knowledge on, i use Virtual Desktops, not that haha | 01:51 |
| dg1 | anyone use playonlinux | 01:51 |
| _nightrid3r_ | Rakko: that was the command | 01:51 |
| mezquitale | sebsebseb, besides myself no one else uses the computer so it's fine | 01:51 |
| sebsebseb | mezquitale: and by default Virtualbox is going to put your vm's in home in the hidden .virtualbox as I already said | 01:51 |
| sebsebseb | basiaclely | 01:52 |
| Rakko | _nightrid3r_: No, it's a "shortcut" | 01:52 |
| shafiq | ok let me to explore | 01:52 |
| shafiq | thaks | 01:52 |
| sebsebseb | mezquitale: you don't have enough space to have an XP vm in / | 01:52 |
| sebsebseb | mezquitale: haveing a seperate /home is good and useful | 01:52 |
| sebsebseb | !home | mezquitale | 01:52 |
| ubottu | mezquitale: Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome | 01:52 |
| marcos | algun español? | 01:52 |
| PCTeacher012_Rea | shafiq: No problem | 01:52 |
| mezquitale | sebsebseb, yes but I can configure virtualbox so that I can install it in another partition? | 01:52 |
| marcos | algun español? | 01:52 |
| marcos | algun español? | 01:52 |
| marcos | algun español? | 01:52 |
| marcos | algun español? | 01:52 |
| FloodBot1 | marcos: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 01:52 |
| IdleOne | !es | marcos | 01:52 |
| ubottu | marcos: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. | 01:52 |
| PCTeacher012_Rea | !es | marcos | 01:52 |
| dg1 | anyone use playonlinux | 01:52 |
| sebsebseb | mezquitale: the virtual hard disk file I think can be else where, but the config file not sure. | 01:53 |
| IdleOne | !anyone | 01:53 |
| ubottu | A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 01:53 |
| sebsebseb | mezquitale: it's easier to just let it put all that stuff in .virtualbox in home | 01:53 |
| sebsebseb | mezquitale: and you can ask Virtualbox questions in #vbox | 01:54 |
| mezquitale | sebsebseb, in other words it's just easier to grab my live disk shot up gparted and enlarged my partition that has "/"? | 01:54 |
| Tevil | ok, i want to know what java-package to install , so that i can login through my net-bank-account. | 01:54 |
| sebsebseb | mezquitale: if you have unpartitoned space on the hard disk you could do that yes, of cousre when resizing partitions always a slight chance of dataloss | 01:54 |
| IdleOne | !java | Tevil | 01:55 |
| draconis | mezquitale: you can make a symbolic link from any other partition to ~/.VirtualBox | 01:55 |
| ubottu | Tevil: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository | 01:55 |
| Tevil | ok, Thanks | 01:55 |
| sebsebseb | mezquitale: seperate homes are good since they make re installs of Ubuntu or even distro hopping much easier | 01:55 |
| IdleOne | Tevil: some banks are still stuck in the IE only mode but give it a shot | 01:55 |
| mezquitale | sebsebseb, I tried that, didnt really work out for me so I just install everything in "/" and my data in its own partition | 01:56 |
| Tevil | Idleone, ok | 01:56 |
| sebsebseb | mezquitale: tried it when? it's easier to set up a seperate home partition when installing Ubuntu | 01:57 |
| Merc | whats ubuntu? | 01:58 |
| alis_ | hi | 01:58 |
| omac | where do I go to discuss bugs in karmic koala beta 1? | 01:58 |
| PCTeacher012_Rea | 7 minutes till Fedora is done ^_^ | 01:58 |
| PCTeacher012_Rea | omac: #ubuntu+1 | 01:58 |
| sebsebseb | mezquitale: oh well 9.10 is here soon, with nice default Ext4 support :) not for Ext3 9.04 upgrades though. Maybe clean install Ubuntu then and whilst your at it make a seperate /home | 01:58 |
| Merc | whats ubuntu? | 01:58 |

| dotakuis | are there any drivers for the ATI Radeon HD 4870 1GB video card? checked the AMD website and all they had was 4800 driver not the 4870 and it crashes Gui. anyone know what I might do? Proprietary hardware drivers not in use and when activated and restart computer it fails to load gui. Envyng was installed and tried to use it but pretty much same result as the proprietary drivers. | 01:59 |

| sebsebseb | mezquitale: I think with virtualbox you can just put the virtual hard disk file on your data partition, then edit the file in .virtualbox or something, and tell it to use the data partition | 02:00 |
| mezquitale | sebsebseb, the latest and greatest virtualbox partition lets me create a virtual disk, i already pointed it to the partition with my data | 02:01 |
| sebsebseb | mezquitale: virtualbox partition??? | 02:01 |
| scream | How do I restore all my network settings to default. My eth0 does not seem to be managed anymore by the network-manager | 02:02 |

| Pulsewidth | Vantrax: tried using UNetBootIN | 02:25 |
| dan20771 | edbian: ok so switching backends was a bad idea | 02:25 |
| sebsebseb | PCTeacher012: sometimes programs don't add themselves just like that to the menu, re installing usually helps, but also logging out of Ubuntu and back in again | 02:25 |
| navatwo | dan20771: wasn't a good one.. | 02:25 |
| navatwo | PCTeacher012: how did you isntall it? | 02:26 |
| edbian | dan20771: The first time it was a good idea cause you learned something. From now on doing it again would be a bad idea. | 02:26 |
| PCTeacher012 | imma try reinstalling first :p sebsebseb And i installed it from the .deb package from their site | 02:26 |
| Pulsewidth | I think there's some difference in the bootloader with CD and USB stick | 02:26 |
| Pulsewidth | And unetbootin failed to convert it | 02:26 |
| navatwo | PCTeacher012: just install it from apt-get | 02:26 |
| dan20771 | navatwo: do you have any idea on how to recover a few animatins in CCSM? | 02:26 |
| PCTeacher012 | k haha | 02:26 |
| navatwo | dan20771: no, sorry | 02:26 |
| sebsebseb | navatwo PCTeacher012 the open source version from the repo/apt-get does not have USB support | 02:26 |
| draconis | navatwo: I believe you have to run ./autogen.sh in each and every subdirectory | 02:26 |
| PCTeacher012 | uh oh. Something has a hold of the administrative directory -_- | 02:27 |
| sebsebseb | PCTeacher012: plus USB support needs setting up in the one that does | 02:27 |
| PCTeacher012 | Gotta log off ubuntu then back on haha | 02:27 |

| mgmuscari | and er, i guess you can list the partitions with p | 02:31 |
| mgmuscari | once you're in the fdisk utility | 02:31 |
| thneed | mgmuscari: then I can run the installation disk with less problems I think | 02:31 |
| mgmuscari | use d to delete a partition | 02:31 |

| iceroot_ | Paul1957aa: correct | 02:38 |
| cody_ | thneed: I did, it says can not burn with current plugins | 02:38 |
| downstar | do you know a fix for me iceroot_: | 02:38 |
| FiReSTaRT | cody_: Burn Image - Burn an existing CD/DVD image to disc | 02:38 |
| downstar | actually | 02:38 |
| FiReSTaRT | cody_: ISO = disc image | 02:38 |
| iceroot_ | downstar: yes, use the wine-version from the wine-repos to install wow. that version is running. they have a jaunty-repo | 02:38 |
| cody_ | FiReSTaRT: I know that. It still will not burn it | 02:39 |
| mgmuscari | Mike_lifeguard: i guess you could also use the Redirect directive | 02:39 |
| downstar | iceroot: wine did install original and bc, but not wotlk. | 02:39 |
| FiReSTaRT | cody_: could be an issue with the image itself if the application you created it with was getting cute | 02:39 |
| iceroot_ | downstar: yes i know, its a known wine-bug with wotlk | 02:39 |
| downstar | ah | 02:39 |
| cody_ | FiReSTaRT: Says can not burn with current plugins. I am burning Fedora 11 image | 02:39 |
| cody_ | 686 MiB roughly | 02:40 |
| FiReSTaRT | cody_: so you're missing a particular plug-in | 02:40 |
| cody_ | Imma keep ubuntu on this computer and have fedora and another. And i guess FiReSTaRT | 02:40 |

| cody_ | Im I'm downloading gnomebaker | 02:40 |

| FiReSTaRT | cody_: that's weird.. the stock configuration burned images for me without any issues right off the bat | 02:41 |
| mgmuscari | errr that depends on the sector size i guess | 02:41 |
| cody_ | FiReSTaRT: Really? Really weird O_O Ah well lol Gnome baker is doin it fine | 02:41 |

| FiReSTaRT | cody_: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/brasero/+bug/199561 | 02:42 |
| downstar | iceroot: different question, this repo i need on this installation guide is whats causing this wotlk to not download? | 02:42 |

| MenZa | hoo-hah: There's a PPA if you want to test it. It works decently for me. | 02:50 |
| dan20771 | where is the compiz support problem? | 02:50 |

| iceroot_ | !root | downstar | 02:56 |
| ubottu | downstar: 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 | 02:56 |

| Berzerker | iceroot_, man file has no info on the origins of sudo, nor does it say anything about it being super user do, but it could be because they changed it for karmic | 03:00 |

| gnutron | downstar: chmod 755 dir/ | 03:20 |
| TheRealMezquital | Korlis, you mean the ctrl that's on the right and then F??? that is not maximizing the virtual box window | 03:20 |

| Korlis | TheRealMezquital: thats what mine was by default, do you mean to make it full screen? | 03:22 |
| darkstar999 | anyone using Netbook Remix? | 03:22 |
| TheRealMezquital | Korlis, yes, i want to make it full screen | 03:22 |
| Cyrano_De | In case anyone else wants different setups based on where they have thier laptops, switchconf is the tool I have found for it. A good tutorial can be found here: http://meandubuntu.wordpress.com/2008/05/07/changing-system-configuration-switchconf/ | 03:22 |

| washburnello1 | imran: do you have universe and multiverse repos enabled? | 03:23 |
| downstar | DasEi: still access denied. lol. | 03:23 |
| downstar | ooypp: what do you mean find it in a toolbar? | 03:23 |
| darkstar999 | ubuntuella: what netbook? | 03:23 |
| darkstar999 | ssmy: what netbook? | 03:23 |
| Korlis | TheRealMezquital: that should make it full screen, however, sounds liek you just need to set your resolution | 03:23 |
| TheRealMezquital | mow, I installed virtual box on ubuntu, I need to install guest additions in ubuntu? | 03:23 |
| ubuntuella | darkstar999: Asus Eee PC 1005ha. | 03:23 |
| mow | TheRealMezquital > you need guest additions | 03:24 |
| ooypp | toolbar of the vitrualbox | 03:24 |
| darkstar999 | ubuntuella: 701sd here. a few problems with windows being too big. | 03:24 |
| washburnello1 | TheRealMezquital: do you have guest additions installed? | 03:24 |
| Korlis | TheRealMezquital: just right click on the xp desktop and selevt properties, then go to the settings tab and up your resolution | 03:24 |
| downstar | ooypp: virtualbox? wrong guy maybe? :S | 03:24 |
| ooypp | sorry! | 03:24 |
| Korlis | TheRealMezquital: you need guest additions if you want to share folders between ubuntu and vb, or use direct 3d support | 03:24 |
| downstar | no problem =) | 03:24 |
| TheRealMezquital | Korlis, thanks!!! that one did it! rofl | 03:24 |
| ssmy | darkstar999: asus eee first gen basically lowest everything. | 03:25 |
| TheRealMezquital | sebsebseb, mow washburnello1 Korlis this is awesome! Didnt know it was so easy to setup VB, I will never boot up to redmond again :) | 03:25 |
| mdonahoe | anyone ever have a print queue that says it complete yet it doesn't print? | 03:25 |
| ubuntuella | darkstar999: If you double click the title bar, it gives back the option to resize windows | 03:26 |
| Korlis | TheRealMezquital: Huzzah! | 03:26 |
| washburnello1 | TheRealMezquital: it's a beautiful thing | 03:26 |
| DasEi | vb is nice, yo | 03:26 |
| sebsebseb | TheRealMezquital: Indeed it's very easy to do a vm, and vm's are :) | 03:26 |
| darkstar999 | ubuntuella: thanks! I will try that. Do you have any idea if these problems will be fixed in the future? | 03:26 |
| nutterpc | TheRealMezquital, welcome to linux my friend, lol | 03:26 |
| TheRealMezquital | nutterpc, i've been using ubuntu for a while but every now and then I have to bootup to redmond but now I may never have to | 03:27 |
| liruge | hello? | 03:27 |
| Korlis | i just put up a vid on youtube, i had a part where i demo'ed virtual box, but i edited it out cuz it made it too long | 03:27 |
| bruenig | TheRealMezquital: virtual machines are slow and obnoxious, you will boot back | 03:27 |
| liruge | Ah... real people | 03:27 |
| TheRealMezquital | using virtualbox, can I work on word documents stored in an ext3 partition? | 03:27 |
| washburnello1 | TheRealMezquital: it not perfect but a heap better than dual booting | 03:28 |
| nitemovz | Hey all, I am having an issue with some programming stuff, I was wondering how to get "GNU Makeinfo" installed on Jaunty Jackalope" | 03:28 |
| liruge | Can anyone help with some technical questions... data recovery? | 03:28 |
| Korlis | TheRealMezquital: thats where you need guest additions to share folders | 03:28 |
| washburnello1 | TheRealMezquital: yup | 03:28 |
| nitemovz | Can anyone help me out? | 03:28 |
| TheRealMezquital | bruenig, I have 4 gigs of memory with a fast SATA hd, it's looking good so far, technology has advanced quite a bit since you used a virtual machine | 03:28 |
| ubuntuella | darkstar999: I don't know. :3 I hope so! | 03:28 |
| bruenig | TheRealMezquital: you will see | 03:28 |
| nutterpc | TheRealMezquital, well now with how easily I have been able to set my laptop up, considering moving my desktop across to Ubuntu also, all i use windows for is gaming u see | 03:29 |
| nanotube | nitemovz: if you install package "build-essential", it will grab all the usual stuff required to compile stuff. | 03:29 |
| Korlis | TheRealMezquital: dont feed the trolls | 03:29 |
| mdonahoe | lipsin - no sharing from the linux to the virtual partition is not likely - at least i've never been able to get it to work... | 03:29 |
| TheRealMezquital | Korlis, all I want to do is work on my word documents I have stored in an ext3 partition, can I write to word documents from within redmond in VB? | 03:29 |
| nitemovz | nanotube: it is saying "E: Couldn't find package build-essentials" | 03:29 |
| Korlis | TheRealMezquital: yeah you just have to set up a shared folder and keep those files in there | 03:30 |
| washburnello1 | TheRealMezquital: yup | 03:30 |
| nitemovz | when I do an apt-get install | 03:30 |
| nanotube | nitemovz: single essential | 03:30 |
| DasEi | TheRealMezquital: yes within a shared folder | 03:30 |
| ssmy | darkstar999: hold alt and click windows to move them higher to see the bottom. most apps aren't used to that small of a res anymore, so they don't like it. gradually fixing. | 03:30 |
| TheRealMezquital | so I have to install guest additions in ubuntu then? | 03:30 |
| darkstar999 | ssmy: there are some windows that simply will not shrink that small | 03:30 |
| liruge | If I'm running Win XPpro and some of the slave drive's file structure is corrupt, is there any chance of Linux being able to read it? | 03:31 |
| DasEi | TheRealMezquital: yes | 03:31 |
| washburnello1 | TheRealMezquital: to make it a little easier you can mount the shared folder as a network drive in windows. make it like a z: | 03:31 |
| nitemovz | nanotube: Thanks so much! I am working on writing an operating system from scratch, and I am doing it in an Ubuntu environment. | 03:31 |
| Korlis | TheRealMezquital: http://aminesoft.wordpress.com/2009/09/20/install-guest-additions-for-a-better-virtualbox-experience/ | 03:31 |
| nanotube | nitemovz: sounds like a big project... good luck! | 03:31 |
| TheRealMezquital | washburnello1, thanks, i will have to do that later on tonight, i have to go do my laundry | 03:31 |
| darkstar999 | nitemovs: open source?? | 03:31 |
| nitemovz | Hopefully | 03:31 |
| DasEi | TheRealMezquital: also there is ##virtualbox | 03:31 |
| TheRealMezquital | Korlis, thanks for the link | 03:31 |
| Korlis | TheRealMezquital: that is a tutorial on getting guest additions installed on your xp, its easy | 03:31 |
| nitemovz | nanotube: I did the "apt-get install build-essential" and when I do my check for makeinfo, it still says that it is missing. | 03:31 |
| darkstar999 | guest additions makes it wayyyy better | 03:32 |
| ssmy | darkstar999: yeah, but you can move them to see parts above or below the screen. so it isn't too bad. | 03:32 |
| Cyrano_De | I could never go back to the screen resolutions of netbooks. | 03:32 |
| nanotube | nitemovz: ah, google says, install package "texinfo" | 03:32 |
| aliendude5300 | Hi, quick question -- how do I remove a user from the login menu without deleting the user using deluser? | 03:33 |
| DasEi | TheRealMezquital: it is #virtualbox | 03:33 |
| TheRealMezquital | bruenig, i will only use the virtual machine to work on files whose format are not 100% supported in linux, surfing the web and chatting here looks quite fine, i dont notice any slowness at all, and ive seen some really slow XP machines, right now my machine is lighitng fast, even with VB | 03:33 |
| nitemovz | "E: Couldn't find package textinfo" | 03:33 |
| nanotube | nitemovz: only one t in there | 03:33 |
| Korlis | Cyrano_De: you a fan of the cyrano mod for android phones? | 03:33 |
| downstar | ...new problem i just thought of. how do i install drivers from manufacturers. IE: i download my nvidia driver, but all it is is a file, what do i do with it? | 03:34 |
| nanotube | nitemovz: read carefully :) | 03:34 |
| darkstar999 | ssmy: holy crap! I didn't know you could drag from anywhere on the screen with ALT. I have been dragging from the title bar which only gives an extra... 25px or something | 03:34 |
| bruenig | TheRealMezquital: slow | 03:34 |
| nitemovz | Oh, sorry. I am using an IRC client on a netbook | 03:34 |
| DasEi | downstar: nvidia provides the info | 03:34 |
| root | hello ppl | 03:34 |

| nitemovz | Thank you so much nanotube | 03:35 |
| Luffy | im using the beta v | 03:35 |
| nanotube | nitemovz: no prob ;) | 03:35 |
| TheRealMezquital | bruenig, I have a dual processor AMD machine 64 bits, try using hyperthreading technology with dual processors and more than 2 gigs of ram, i have 4 gigs right now | 03:35 |
| DasEi | downstar: which card ? | 03:35 |
| Cyrano_De | Korlis: I am running a Cyanogen firmware on my G1. So yeah, I'm a big fan of that. Been using this nick since the early 90's however. | 03:35 |
| liruge | --------I want to know if there's any chance ubuntu will be able to read corrupt windows file structures | 03:35 |
| bruenig | TheRealMezquital: Korlis is a known ignorant person, ignore ignorance because ignorance ignores reality | 03:35 |
| downstar | DasEi: nvidia geforce 8800 | 03:35 |
| Gnea | liruge: it depends on the partition in question | 03:36 |
| TheRealMezquital | Korlis, thats ok, i was a troll once until redhat stopped supporting mp3z and then i moved on to ubuntu | 03:36 |

| nitemovz | I can now build my compiler that I wrote to write my OS | 03:37 |
| nanotube | prajjwal: read that wiki page about rootsudo. you can start a root shell with 'sudo -i' or 'sudo -s'... | 03:37 |
| Korlis | prajjwal: if you need to run a program as root you can always use sudo | 03:37 |

| darkstar999 | is it possible to boot my XP partition in VirtualBox? | 03:38 |
| bruenig | no but seriously, for some programs like kismet, sudo doesn't cut it | 03:38 |
| TheRealMezquital | how do you mark yourself away in xchat using command line? | 03:38 |
| nitemovz | nanotube: Yeah, every last bit of it, will be written from scratch. I have been working on the compiler for about 6 months now. | 03:38 |
| nanotube | nitemovz: so what are you writing the compiler in? assembly? | 03:38 |
| Daemonik | What is it with Ubuntu 9.04 that I right-click on a folder, click "sharing options", select guest access, but other GNU/Linux machines claim the mount failed, and windows machines think a username and password (guest / guest doesn't work . .) is needed? Ubuntu 8.10 had file sharing working fine! | 03:38 |
| darkstar999 | java. haha | 03:38 |
| DasEi | downstar: 32 or 64 bit OS ? | 03:38 |
| nitemovz | nanotube: mostly assembly, and some occasional c. | 03:38 |
| nitemovz | GNU Make, and makeinfo are a big part of it. | 03:39 |
| nanotube | nitemovz: and what kind of language does your compiler compile? | 03:39 |
| nanotube | nitemovz: you made up your own? | 03:39 |
| liruge | Gnea: I had a system crash under windows XPpro and a 100GB folder on the slave drive now says G:/organized is inaccessable peramater is incorrect | 03:39 |

| nanotube | prajjwal: so use sudo. | 03:39 |
| prajjwal | (if i click on the thing in places menu ) :( .... | 03:39 |
| nitemovz | nanotube: it is going to be compiling, java/C/C++/ASM | 03:40 |
| nitemovz | all in one. | 03:40 |
| egc | hi all | 03:40 |
| Gnea | liruge: what did you format it to? | 03:40 |
| draconis | darkstar999: it's actually possible to boot a partition using VirtualBox, but it requires creating the "disk" via command line | 03:40 |
| DasEi | downstar: 64 bit http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_amd64_185.18.36.html | 03:40 |
| nanotube | nitemovz: heh nice. ... got source for it up on the web somewhere? | 03:40 |
| egc | if i want to print a source code file 2 up on one side of paper, what utilities can i use to do that? | 03:40 |
| nitemovz | No, not yet. I have to see if it will actually work. I am installing it right now. | 03:40 |
| prajjwal | prajjwal@prajjwal-laptop:~$ sudo mount /dev/sda3 | 03:40 |

| * egc looks at a2ps | 03:41 | |
| prajjwal | that is what happens ... | 03:41 |
| nitemovz | I want to make sure that it works before I upload it to the web. | 03:41 |
| nanotube | prajjwal: so, "sudo mkdir /media/Vista" first. | 03:41 |
| nitemovz | It would suck if it didn't work, and I posted it up there. | 03:41 |

| nanotube | nitemovz: ic... just stick your code repository up on github. you /are/ using source control for this, right? | 03:42 |
| prajjwal | i unmounted it to check if my /etc/fstab edit worked | 03:42 |
| egc | yeah it was a2ps | 03:42 |
| nitemovz | nanotube: I want to say yes, but that would be lying | 03:42 |
| draconis | darkstar999: VBoxManage internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename ~/.VirtualBox/WinXP.vmdk -rawdisk /dev/sda -partitions 2 -relative -register | 03:42 |
| draconis | darkstar999: replace /dev/sda with the -disk- your Windows partition is on, and "-partitions 2" needs to be the partition number that windows is on | 03:43 |
| Korlis | prajjwal: you should be able to just run nautilus as sudo and mount it, or if it's in your fstab to mount automatically you could just log out and in | 03:43 |
| darkstar999 | draconis: awesome. thanks. Does that just link the .vmdk to the physical drive or does it copy the physical drive to the .vmdk? | 03:43 |
| MenZa | !gksu | Korlis | 03:43 |
| ubottu | Korlis: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 03:43 |
| nanotube | nitemovz: hahaha i see. well, for any sizeable code project, you really really should use a version control system. i highly recommend git. but hg or bzr are ok too. you can grab git from the repos... | 03:44 |
| webbb82 | is there anyway to change the default file browser | 03:44 |
| nitemovz | Okay, and do I need a certain repository online to host my files? | 03:44 |
| Korlis | blegh, MenZa is right prajjwal, hit alt+F2 and type gksu nautilus | 03:44 |
| draconis | darkstar999: no, it actually uses the device. http://blarts.wordpress.com/2007/12/06/how-to-run-virtualbox-using-a-physical-partition-using-ubuntu-feisty-fawn/ | 03:44 |
| Korlis | my bad | 03:44 |
| draconis | darkstar999: you will have to set the permissions so your virtualbox users can access the disk | 03:45 |
| prajjwal | thanks guys ... it worked w/ the mkdir .. | 03:45 |
| nitemovz | nanotube: I have never used a version control system before in my life... I know that sounds pretty bad. | 03:46 |
| webbb82 | Korlis: what is gksu nautilus | 03:46 |
| nanotube | nitemovz: github give free git repository hosting (check them out on github.com). but you don't /need/ a host, you cousd just have a local repository. the host is only necessary for backing up your local repo, and for sharing it with the world. | 03:46 |
| Korlis | webbb82: it allows you to run nautilus as root | 03:46 |
| Royall | Shiretoko is unbearably slow. How do I get back regular Firefox? | 03:46 |
| draconis | darkstar999: if you copy it to a virtual disk instead of linking it, though, you can avoid messing up the actual partition | 03:46 |
| nitemovz | okay, that makes sense | 03:46 |
| webbb82 | oh i just run su nautilus same thing | 03:46 |
| webbb82 | anyone know how to change the default file browser/manager | 03:47 |
| julianchis83 | hello | 03:47 |
| Replop | what would you use instead of nautilus, webbb82 ? | 03:48 |
| nanotube | nitemovz: trust me, you'll thank me later. version control is important. read some tutorials on using git, and jump in. | 03:48 |

| DasEi | downstar1: 32 so | 03:52 |
| bastid_raZor | Anorion: ntfs-config is the package you want to install | 03:52 |
| Cyrano_De | Anorion: You can add a book mark to it by dragging it to the bottom left panel in nautilus | 03:52 |
| downstar1 | DasEi: how did you figure that out? | 03:52 |
| Cyrano_De | Anorion: It will then be in the Places->Bookmarks menu. | 03:52 |
| bastid_raZor | downstar1: i686 == 32bit .. x86_64 would have been 64bit | 03:53 |
| DasEi | downstar1: i686; 32 : http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_185.18.36.html | 03:53 |
| Anorion | yeah, but I can't mount it right now, because it's not in fstab. But I know you guys don't use fstab for ntfs stuff | 03:53 |
| DasEi | downstar1: how much ram installed ? | 03:53 |
| bastid_raZor | Anorion: yes you can use fstab for ntfs.. probably the easier method to have it mounted on each boot | 03:54 |

| DasEi | downstar:to install, put the nv..sh in /usr/src , install build-essential and checkinstall, make the file executable at call it , logged off, as root | 04:35 |
| downstar | DasEi: so ... im at 2512gb/4000gb ? | 04:35 |
| Cyrano_De | downstar: To support more than 4GB total memory in 32bit Ubuntu you need to either compile your own kernel and enable PAE mode or install the Ubuntu Server kernel package that has been built with PAE mode. | 04:35 |
| mgmuscari | Cyrano_De: this webserver is public facing. or will be soon, rather... | 04:35 |
| porkee | washburnello i do see others when i am on my wifes apple my router sences them but i dont think they are on my router because i shut it off and they are there when i go back on which doent give them time to put my passwaord back in | 04:35 |
| hey_boy | Hello room, I want to delete all the IPTables Rules in a single command. Any suggestions? | 04:35 |
| downstar | Cyrano_De: ah okay. thanks! | 04:36 |
| mgmuscari | it's going to be on a different subnet from the rest of my home network anyway | 04:36 |
| ssmy | downstar: why not just use 64? it works fine. | 04:36 |
| Cyrano_De | downstar: PAE lets uses "pages" to address more than 4GB of memory in 32 bit systems | 04:36 |
| DasEi | downstar: yes, 32 can handle 4 gb only, else need 64 bit, and on a dualcore.. I'd use 64 | 04:36 |
| Cyrano_De | mgmuscari: mpd has an http streaming feature but generally plays the music on the mpd host. | 04:36 |
| porkee | washburnello my router is so week you have to be on my propert to use it anyway | 04:36 |
| kraito | DasEi: alright so i still need help with the resolution | 04:37 |
| Cyrano_De | mgmuscari: I do not think it matters that it is on a seperate subnet as long as there is no firewall blocking the mpd port between the two subnets. | 04:37 |
| porkee | washburnello ok gotta go will be on later after work still have question thanks see you all thanks a lot | 04:37 |
| washburnello1 | porkee: what your laptop is sensing is other networks. your router doesn't connect to routers wirelessly unless you have a special scenerio | 04:37 |
| washburnello1 | porkee: later | 04:38 |
| porkee | ok thanks be back later | 04:38 |
| downstar | DasEi: im a bit lost on what your saying.. you want me to put the nvidia file in /usr/src and then what? and as for the 64-bit.. ill look into that =) | 04:38 |
| DasEi | kraito: installed displayconfig-gtk meanwhile ? | 04:38 |
| goddard | Got a problem any one wanna help figure it out haha | 04:38 |
| goddard | having some serious hang time on start up | 04:38 |
| DasEi | downstar: 64 bit means reinstalling | 04:38 |
| washburnello1 | goddard: what's up? | 04:38 |
| downstar | DasEi: i know. but if i can figure this all out in 32, i wont need to come back and wont have any of these problems when doing 64. | 04:39 |
| DasEi | downstar: sudo cp /path/toFile/nvidia* /usr/src | 04:39 |
| washburnello1 | goddard: sorry, out of my league | 04:39 |

| DasEi | downstar: it's supposed to be nvBlah.sh, so you just sudo nvidi* | 04:48 |

| andrewm448 | my ubuntu 9.04 machine hasas of today decided not to connect to my lan at work. ifconfig shows it's trying to usean ipv6 address which it's never tried before, so it seems likely that that's the problem. what can i do to get it back to how it was? | 05:25 |
| ssmy | undeclaredx: replacing it basically makes it transparent. so makes it same as before, just better. | 05:25 |
| kraito | cyrano_de: i mean i didn't do your option | 05:25 |
| Cyrano_De | kraito: My option? | 05:25 |

| thechitow | Can somebody help me with my intermittent mouse problem? | 05:48 |
| iceroot_ | blackangel: depedning on the pc of course. ~ 30min | 05:48 |
| shane2peru | blackangel: depends on system, but about 30min - 45min | 05:48 |
| IndyGunFreak | blackangel: the actual install.. depensd on hardware, but usually it takes me around 15in. | 05:48 |
| TheRealMezquital | blackangel, it takes me at most 20~30 minutes to install ubuntustudio | 05:49 |
| thechitow | http://pastebin.com/f7a2b6276 | 05:49 |
| blackangel | 2 gig labtop duel pros | 05:49 |
| thechitow | That is what the system says is happening but I don't know how to fix it. | 05:49 |
| IndyGunFreak | a lot depends on how much processing you have to do blackangel | 05:49 |
| IndyGunFreak | *partitioning, not processing | 05:49 |
| beatbreaker | DasEi, ok i'll give it a go. In way of reporting bugs what can i read to learn how to do it properley? | 05:49 |
| IndyGunFreak | blackangel: partitioning can take quite a while, so if you have a lot of that, it can take quite some time | 05:50 |
| blackangel | how slow is it working off the CD | 05:50 |
| DasEi | !bugs | beatbreaker | 05:50 |

| blackangel | THANKS now and in advance for your help | 05:50 |
| Prohibited | took me 2h 11m to format my 500gb external hard drive =[ | 05:50 |
| TheRealMezquital | blackangel, my laptop has the equivalent of a Pentium 4 CPU and it took about 20-30 minutes to install, didnt have a dual core CPU so it should take you about the same time | 05:50 |
| beatbreaker | blackangel, if you can, then booting of USB is faster | 05:50 |
| thechitow | Anyone have any ideas? | 05:51 |
| blackangel | really | 05:51 |
| TheRealMezquital | blackangel, just remember that it's going to take like an hour to update once you have ubuntu installed and running | 05:51 |
| blackangel | i got a one gig flashcard | 05:51 |
| DasEi | blackangel: same hardware dependend, but from a 2ghz with least 1gig ram, live gives a good impression | 05:51 |
| IndyGunFreak | blackangel: 1gig should work, but i never had luck w/ them.. 2gigs has always worked fine | 05:51 |
| IndyGunFreak | blackangel: google unetbootin for hwo to put an ISO on a thumb drive | 05:52 |
| thechitow | My fucdging mouse will never work | 05:52 |
| thechitow | anymore | 05:52 |
| DasEi | blackangel: with that 1 gig have to use specialized installation | 05:52 |
| shane2peru | IndyGunFreak: is unetbootin for windows too? | 05:52 |
| TheRealMezquital | Prohibited, what did you use, ntfs??? I have a 500gig hard drive as well, it doesnt take me long to format it to ext3 | 05:52 |
| blackangel | IndyGunFreak: thank-you very much | 05:52 |
| IndyGunFreak | shane2peru: yup.. has a windows and a *nix version | 05:52 |
| thechitow | http://pastebin.com/f7a2b6276 | 05:52 |
| thechitow | Does that link work? | 05:52 |
| blackangel | do i still download and save the same | 05:53 |
| shane2peru | IndyGunFreak: wow, that is nice, I'm pure linux so out of the windows loop. Works fine with 1GB too. | 05:53 |
| TheRealMezquital | thechitow, apparently no one can help you right now but if you try maybe another time and another day you might find someone that has seen the same issue | 05:53 |
| IndyGunFreak | shane2peru: it never worked for em w/ a 1gig drive.. i don't doubt what you're saying.. it just never worked with me.. has always worked fine w/ 2gigs | 05:53 |
| blackangel | http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloading?release=desktop-newest&mirror=http%3A%2F%2Fubuntu.cs.utah.edu%2Freleases%2F&arch=i386 is what im downloading | 05:53 |
| thechitow | Shoot. | 05:53 |
| * Nicekiwi9 sighs... no keyboard is no fun when you cant login | 05:53 | |
| p1ckLe | When just installing ubuntu on a computer that has windows already on it, will it give me the option to format the drive before installing? | 05:54 |
| TheRealMezquital | thechitow, yes the link works, i suggest you ask your question all on one line and include the link so that people can follow your question | 05:54 |
| IndyGunFreak | blackangel: thats whaqt you want | 05:54 |
| blackangel | ok cool | 05:54 |
| Nicekiwi9 | hey, I just installed ubuntu 9.04 on my dell laptop, ran the updates and restarted, now I have no keyboard support after ubuntu boots, help? | 05:54 |
| Silver_Swords | thechitow: try another mouse. | 05:54 |
| thechitow | Can someone help me fix my mouse. This is the dmesg output http://www.pastebin.com/f7a2b5276 . The mouse rarely works if i replug it into a certain port. But it doesn't work anymore. | 05:54 |
| DasEi | blackangel: or use usb-creator from live cd and base it on the minimal installer to save space | 05:55 |
| shane2peru | IndyGunFreak: that is odd, could be the flash drive? I'm pretty sure I always use it with my 1GB. It is kind of my garbage usb stick. :) iso is only 700MB so 1GB should be fine in theory. odd. | 05:55 |
| IndyGunFreak | blackangel: if you're gonna put it on a thumb drive, just download Unetbootin, and follow the instructions... its very easy w/ a pre-downloaded ISO. Also, any info on the flash drive, is going to be lost, so make sure you back it all up. | 05:55 |
| thechitow | Silver_SwordsL I have | 05:55 |
| TheRealMezquital | p1ckLe, how big is the hard drive and how much free space you have left? you can free up some space for ubuntu using a live CD that has gparted | 05:55 |
| zaoul | what kind of device is one that shows eth0:3 eth0:2 etc? | 05:55 |
| PMantis | p1ckLe: You'll have several choices, one to "use the whole drive" | 05:55 |
| IndyGunFreak | shane2peru: it might have been. | 05:55 |
| IndyGunFreak | i agree w/ you it didn't make any sense | 05:55 |
| DasEi | zaoul: just a guess, nics with multiple jacks ? | 05:56 |
| shane2peru | blackangel: be sure to back up your data before installing, even if you plan on keeping windows. | 05:56 |
| Like | hi oll i have a new amazing no working hardware any one help me ... | 05:56 |
| zaoul | DasEi: naa | 05:56 |
| p1ckLe | PMantis: okay, cause i initially tried starting it up and it would load and then stop, give me a grey screen with a white window in the upper left corner, with a loading icon as my cursor, and then it would just stop loading, so im attempting to format the drive first. | 05:57 |
| blackangel | shane2peru: i only plan on keeping til i fix it | 05:57 |
| IndyGunFreak | Like: wel elaborate on what isn't working | 05:57 |
| zaoul | DasEi: I have a switch card and it only shows up as eth0 .. I wish it showed multiple interfaces | 05:57 |
| blackangel | if i like it i will keep it | 05:57 |
| zaoul | this is a single card eth0 showing eth0:1 | 05:57 |
| Like | ok is a Tv box caledd enu8tv-2 conected via usb | 05:57 |
| mgmuscari1 | anybody know where the samba client configuration is located? i want to add a group to allow non-admin users to mount samba shares... | 05:57 |
| zaoul | and multi IPs | 05:57 |
| p1ckLe | PMantis: i just aquired the computer, it had windows me on it with a corrupt vxd.. so i was unable to format it through dos or anything. | 05:57 |
| IndyGunFreak | blackangel: dual booting is a good thing to do for at least a few months, while you learn the OS. | 05:57 |
| zaoul | some how its being assigned multiple IPs | 05:57 |
| shane2peru | blackangel: I dual booted for quite some time, but when installing an OS it is always wise to backup your data. | 05:58 |
| DasEi | mgmuscari1: /etc/samba/smb.conf | 05:58 |
| Like | like like like like like like like like | 05:58 |
| IndyGunFreak | blackangel: if you nuke windows to soon, the minute you run into a problem, you'll immediately run back and reinstall windows, at least w/ dual booting, it will give you the chance to search out alternatives, etc, while still giving you a windows safety net | 05:58 |
| Silver_Swords | Like: are you looking for drivers? | 05:58 |
| Like | only too working this hardware | 05:58 |

| Like | snif ... | 06:01 |
| Like | blackangel, | 06:01 |
| Nicekiwi9 | ubuntu has a safe mode? | 06:01 |
| Like | snif snif | 06:01 |
| IndyGunFreak | Nicekiwi9: hmm, that is weird... do you have keyboard use in safe mode, or can you use a USB keyboard?(if you have one) | 06:01 |
| mgmuscari1 | can i conditionally mount a samba filesystem only of the server is pingable? | 06:02 |
| Nicekiwi9 | i can and am useing a USB keyboard | 06:02 |
| IndyGunFreak | Nicekiwi9: *recovery* mode i think is what he meant.. its the second option in your grub menu | 06:02 |
| DasEi | !who | Nicekiwi9 | 06:02 |
| ubottu | Nicekiwi9: 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 :) | 06:02 |
| Nicekiwi9 | !tab | 06:02 |
| ubottu | You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 06:02 |
| DasEi | Nicekiwi9: press <Esc> at grub prompt > recoverymode | 06:02 |
| Nicekiwi9 | oh | 06:02 |
| longtime | Would anyone be able to tell me how to set my wireless usb card as my network interface device. I just re-installed on another computer and the wifi card seems to be ignored. | 06:03 |
| IndyGunFreak | Nicekiwi9: so if you boot recovery mode, do you have keyboard use. | 06:03 |
| Nicekiwi9 | IndyGunFreak: the wubi installer ubuntu dose not appare to have that option visable | 06:03 |
| DasEi | Nicekiwi9: if you can type there, backup xorg.conf and dpkg it new | 06:03 |
| IndyGunFreak | Nicekiwi9: well, thats because wubi sucks | 06:03 |
| * IndyGunFreak chalks up another reason wubi sucks | 06:03 | |
| DasEi | defrag on wubi, muharr | 06:03 |
| cordor | scim seems to be broken after upgrade. | 06:04 |
| Nicekiwi9 | DasEi: still alil n00bish on unix cmd, whats commands to do that? | 06:04 |

| undeclaredx | I did a complete removal of all firefox versions, but no matter what I get some XUL errors.. anyone have any idea? (I was using firefox-3.5, but it turned out to suddenly become buggy..) | 06:04 |
| nutterpc | I had onboard wireless which refused to work, plugged usb wireless in, works | 06:05 |
| longtime | nutterpc_ --I thought so as well | 06:05 |
| maco | Nicekiwi9: not a unix thing. DasEi is saying to use the defragmentor on windows | 06:05 |
| DasEi | Nicekiwi9: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorgscrewed | 06:05 |
| IndyGunFreak | nutterpc: what usb wireless device, if you don't midn me asking. | 06:05 |
| PMantis | I'm customizing a live cd, if I want to mount another filesystem on bootup, shoudl i do that with casper or the init scripts? | 06:05 |
| maco | Nicekiwi9: oops nvm. DasEi was talking to 2 people | 06:05 |
| DasEi | Nicekiwi9: sudo dpkg --reconfigure xserver-xorg | 06:05 |
| nutterpc | IndyGunFreak, u mean what usb wireless device am i using? | 06:05 |
| DasEi | maco : yep | 06:05 |
| IndyGunFreak | nutterpc: yea, u said you had a usb wireless device working.. is it working w/ wpa? | 06:06 |

| nutterpc | works perfect | 06:06 |
| nutterpc | yep | 06:06 |
| Nicekiwi9 | DasEi: dpkg: unknown option --reconfigure | 06:06 |
| nutterpc | working on our network at home which is WPA2 | 06:06 |
| DasEi | Nicekiwi9: I got it meanwhile, please tell wubi earlier next time;; a big prob with that is the fragmentation of drives , where wubi tends to f.. eermm fail | 06:07 |
| DasEi | Nicekiwi9: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 06:07 |
| longtime | so does mine, when I can figure out how to point my comp in it's direction and not my ethernet card | 06:07 |
| nutterpc | bought the WUSB100, downloaded the drivers from the site, installed ndiswrapper, installed drivers, and it just WORKS | 06:07 |

| Nicekiwi9 | DasEi: im not in safemode and dont know howto get there | 06:10 |
| DasEi | nimda1: synaptic lets you uninstall older kernels, /boot/grub/menu.lst is your file for just the b-loader | 06:10 |
| longtime | nutterpc_ -well I'll be dipped,... | 06:11 |
| DasEi | Nicekiwi9: press <Esc> at grub prompt > recoverymode | 06:11 |

| nutterpc | longtime, :) | 06:11 |
| Nicekiwi9 | DasEi: with that option show in the windowsXP bootmenu? | 06:11 |
| IndyGunFreak | ynk: its probably not gonna be much different in Mint | 06:12 |
| rabidweezle | nimda1: I use ubuntu tweak to do all that stuff for me :) | 06:12 |
| IndyGunFreak | if any different at all. | 06:12 |
| Nicekiwi9 | DasEi: will* | 06:12 |
| nutterpc | ynk, without knowin more about the issue no one can really do anything to help | 06:12 |

| DasEi | Nicekiwi9: press <Esc> at grub prompt > recoverymode | 06:12 |
| L3dPlatedLinux | ok was wondering if I was to hit ctrl alt and f2 looks like a terminal only prompt how would I get back to the normal gui? | 06:12 |
| Nicekiwi9 | kk | 06:12 |
| ynk | IndyGunFreak, i don't know. i've just been looking for a reason to try something else, honestly. LoL | 06:12 |
| rabidweezle | nimda1: check out getdeb.net for ubuntu tweak, they clean out all old kernels and fix your grub menu | 06:12 |
| Nicekiwi9 | DasEi: brb then | 06:13 |
| PMantis | L3dPlatedLinux: Ctrl-Alt-F7 | 06:13 |
| nutterpc | L3dPlatedLinux, you have just changed to a command terminal | 06:13 |
| stebalien | L3dPlatedLinux, Hit alt-F7 | 06:13 |
| IndyGunFreak | ynk: well if you want to try something else, thats fine, but you need to undersstand that Mint and Ubuntu, are very very closely related, and problems you experience in Ubuntu, are very likely to duplicate themselves in Mint | 06:13 |
| L3dPlatedLinux | thanks | 06:13 |
| ynk | IndyGunFreak, nutterpc, i agree with ya, buddy. i can't hear a thing on youtube, but i play movies and mp3s just fine. tried restarting and still nothing. tried reinstalling the latest flash plugin, still nothing | 06:13 |
| mo0nykit | What is the runlevel when I switch to a virtual console (Ctrl-Alt-F1) ? | 06:13 |
| IdleOne | not to mention the problem is not Ubuntu but Flash | 06:13 |
| rabidweezle | ynk: Alot of that stuff is from that pulseaudio setup, but kubuntu doesn't use pulseaudio :) | 06:14 |
| ynk | IdleOne, hmm. | 06:14 |
| rabidweezle | hence why I switched to kubuntu | 06:14 |
| IndyGunFreak | IdleOne: well, that t.. :).. but flash works fine for me | 06:14 |
| IdleOne | IndyGunFreak: same here | 06:14 |
| stebalien | mo0nykit, 2 (the same as the gui) | 06:14 |
| mo0nykit | stebalien, okay thanks | 06:15 |

| ubottu | Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ | 06:15 |

| rabidweezle | but thanks | 06:16 |
| IdleOne | ynk: that is how I installed it and like IndyGunFreak said " it just works" for us. | 06:16 |
| IndyGunFreak | rabidweezle: other than you completely used it out of context | 06:16 |
| IdleOne | rabidweezle: there was no need as we did not tell him to do something just because it worked for us | 06:17 |
| ynk | rabidweezle, that's hilarious. hehe | 06:17 |
| rabidweezle | sure | 06:17 |
| rabidweezle | moving on with more intellectual conversation | 06:17 |

| IdleOne | hehe | 06:18 |
| rabidweezle | and who's keeping it going moron, please stop | 06:18 |
| IndyGunFreak | lol.... | 06:18 |
| IdleOne | enough with the name calling | 06:18 |
| IndyGunFreak | rabidweezle: touchy... perhaps your coming to a realization | 06:18 |
| maco | rabidweezle: be nice | 06:18 |
| mo0nykit | I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 on an Acer Aspire 4520 laptop (Nvidia GeForce 7000m). Installed proprietary 180.44 drivers. Problem is, when I switch to a virtual console, the screen flickers and nothing is readable. What could be the problem? | 06:18 |
| IdleOne | IndyGunFreak: please stop | 06:18 |
| IndyGunFreak | mo0nykit: did you download the driver form nvidia, or did you just use the restricted driver mgr? | 06:19 |
| rabidweezle | Anyway, I was going to say, I was able to get flash going by downloading it from adobe's site, one of their deb's works fine | 06:19 |
| rabidweezle | but I use kubuntu so... | 06:19 |
| rabidweezle | no pulseaudio | 06:19 |
| stebalien | mo0nykit: You may need to tweak your VGA boot settings | 06:20 |
| mo0nykit | IndyGunFreak, I just used the restricted driver mgr... Everything is fine with the GUI, problems lie in the virtual console and during shutdown (I can't see the shutdown splash) | 06:20 |
| mo0nykit | stebalien, okay, where might I find it? | 06:20 |
| OzFalcon | Does anyone have an entry in their "user switcher/shutdown" menu called "slurm" ???????? | 06:22 |
| stebalien | mo0nykit: In your /boot/grub/menu.lst, does your latest boot option have vga=<somthing>? | 06:22 |
| IdleOne | OzFalcon: slurm??? | 06:22 |
| mo0nykit | stebalien, nope, there is none. What should I add? | 06:22 |
| alex1234 | never heard of slurm | 06:22 |
| rabidweezle | o_O | 06:22 |
| OzFalcon | IdleOne, Yes. I look in my user switcher and I have this enrty "slurm" !!!! WTF | 06:23 |
| IdleOne | OzFalcon: that's a new one hehe | 06:23 |
| rabidweezle | OzFalcon: like a user named Slurm?! | 06:23 |
| OzFalcon | No users by that name in my user accounts | 06:23 |
| OzFalcon | Where can I past a screeny. | 06:23 |
| rabidweezle | OzFalcon: you know how to bring up your users/groups control panel? | 06:23 |
| IdleOne | OzFalcon: check to make sure there is no user with that name | 06:24 |
| rabidweezle | tinypic.com | 06:24 |
| OzFalcon | ta. And no user by thet name. | 06:24 |

| beatbreaker | n00b question: what's the md5check command again? | 06:25 |
| legend2440 | !info slurm | 06:26 |
| ubottu | slurm (source: slurm): Realtime network interface monitor. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.3.3-1 (jaunty), package size 21 kB, installed size 120 kB | 06:26 |
| mo0nykit | stebalien, yep that's right. I have this "kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-15-generic root=UUID=f58a2a33-2a85-4e31-8ea | 06:26 |
| mo0nykit | b-fd8394047365 ro quiet splash" | 06:26 |
| rabidweezle | OzFalcon: is there a /home/slurm? | 06:26 |
| maco | beatbreaker: md5sum | 06:26 |
| stebalien | mo0nykit: try adding vga=795 to that line | 06:26 |
| OzFalcon | there is no /home/slurm | 06:26 |
| stebalien | mo0nykit: that is, if you have a 1280x1024 monitor | 06:26 |
| OzFalcon | If I click on slurm, it takes me to the login screen. | 06:27 |
| rabidweezle | OzFalcon: and you say there is no user named slurm? | 06:27 |
| mo0nykit | stebalien, okay thanks.. I have a 1280x800 monitor.. where can I find references for the vga= option? | 06:27 |
| OzFalcon | no. moment for the screeny | 06:27 |
| OzFalcon | hmm I cant seem to get a screeny | 06:27 |

| gsevil | I have this error when compile kernel from ubuntu source. dpkg-gencontrol: error: package linux-headers-2.6.31-11-bfs302 not in control info | 06:28 |
| stebalien | mo0nykit: I would try vga=792 (the boot splash will look weird but it should work). Refer to http://paste2.org/p/453148 | 06:29 |

| rabidweezle | mo0nykit: http://linuxandfriends.com/2008/09/17/vga-modes-used-linux/ | 06:30 |
| firecrotch | OzFalcon: The command "import" will do the trick. "man import" for a list of the options that you can use with it\ | 06:31 |
| mo0nykit | stebalien, okay... thanks for the link :) much appreciated. so now I know the keywords are vga, framebuffer mode | 06:31 |
| OzFalcon | ta | 06:31 |

| bullgard4 | How can I call gcalctool in Scientific mode? gcalctool manual does not tell me that. | 06:42 |
| mo0nykit | stebalien, Thank you so much for the help! The link you gave me, it has framebuffer modes in hexadecimal, did you convert the hex (0x315) to decimal (792) ? | 06:42 |
| mo0nykit | stebalien, yes it worked :) I haven't tried shutting it down yet, but virtual consoles are now perfectly usable | 06:43 |

| Nicekiwi9 | DasEi: uhh i dont know? | 06:45 |
| DasEi | Nicekiwi9:so not | 06:45 |
| Nicekiwi9 | DasEi: unlikly | 06:45 |
| DasEi | Nicekiwi9:k then can try recovery again, then 1) netroot 2) exit 3) dpkg repair packages 4)fix xserver 5)resume normal boot, or can't you chosse that menu, too ? | 06:47 |
| DasEi | choose* | 06:47 |
| Nicekiwi9 | i can use the menu with my external keyboard but not with the lappy kb | 06:48 |
| stebalien | mo0nykit: Your bootsplash probably looked a little stretched because I gave you the vga for 1024x768 because 1280x1024 is supported by few BIOSes. You can try setting vga=864 but this may not work. | 06:48 |
| Nicekiwi9 | DasEi: i can use the menu with my external keyboard but not with the lappy kb | 06:48 |

| DasEi | undeclaredx: not without formating | 06:49 |
| undeclaredx | because when I went to use the alternate install disc to set it up, it wanted the internet, and I use wifi for internet (not by choice, but my landlord shares it..) | 06:50 |

| undeclaredx | and by LAN | 06:51 |
| stebalien | mo0nykit: there is, it is just rare (google '1280x800 vga nvidia') | 06:51 |

| DasEi | no DVD | 06:52 |
| undeclaredx | DasEi: it was a 715 mb installer | 06:52 |

| MrSteve | raises hand and waits.. fer help | 06:54 |

| Amalgam | firecrotch: Ah Ok. Thanks for the reply. | 06:58 |
| IndyGunFreak | undeclaredx: what went wrong w/ unetbootin? | 06:58 |
| undeclaredx | DasEi: anyway, I'm going to do a proper reinstall on wed probably.. Glad to know that alternate itself isn't bad though. | 06:58 |
| firecrotch | Amalgam: No problem :) | 06:58 |

| chrome_ | hi.. i have ath9k, but when i run aireplay-ng, it freezes up. seems like my driver needs patch. where do I get one or what driver should i use? | 06:59 |
| IndyGunFreak | undeclaredx: usb-creator only takes IMG files to my knowledge | 06:59 |
| OzFalcon | Can someone verify some entries in /etc/passwd with me ??? | 06:59 |
| DasEi | undeclaredx: usb-creator does fine, but why not use the cd itself ? | 06:59 |
| undeclaredx | DasEi: defective dvd drive on my laptop | 07:00 |
| Nicekiwi9 | DasEi: dpkg: need an action option | 07:00 |
| DasEi | ah | 07:00 |

| undeclaredx | .img? | 07:00 |
| IndyGunFreak | undeclaredx: yes, not an ISO | 07:00 |
| undeclaredx | alright, ill do unetbootin then | 07:00 |

| IndyGunFreak | undeclaredx: are you using unetbootin under Linux? | 07:00 |
| DasEi | usb-creator works with iso's , too | 07:00 |
| Prohibited | How do I get it so when I install packages the files are placed on my External Hard drive? | 07:00 |
| undeclaredx | DasEi: yeah if my dvd drive was fine I would have burned alternate and be done already | 07:01 |
| undeclaredx | IndyGunFreak: I would be, yeah | 07:01 |
| IndyGunFreak | DasEi: never did for me | 07:01 |
| undeclaredx | IndyGunFreak: at this point I may simply use unetbootin's automatic creator so to speak.. where it downloads and does everything | 07:01 |
| OzFalcon | anyone have an entry in /etc/passwd called "munge" | 07:01 |
| DasEi | Nicekiwi9:repai packages wants an argument ? | 07:01 |
| IndyGunFreak | undeclaredx: before you use unetbootin, open gparted, and format the thumb drive as ext3, then use unetbootin.. for some reason under Ubuntu, unetbooin will nto work w/ a fat32 filesystem | 07:01 |
| undeclaredx | IndyGunFreak: okay. | 07:02 |
| OzFalcon | anyone have an entry in /etc/passwd called "slurm" | 07:02 |
| IndyGunFreak | undeclaredx: well, that is extremely slow, but you can do that | 07:02 |
| Nicekiwi9 | DasEi: action option? | 07:02 |
| undeclaredx | IndyGunFreak: well on 20 megabit internet (at my school) it should be like 5 minutes | 07:02 |
| IndyGunFreak | undeclaredx: plus, if somethng goes wrong, you won't have to download the ISO again. | 07:02 |
| undeclaredx | IndyGunFreak: err, you missed my point | 07:02 |
| IndyGunFreak | no, i didn't | 07:02 |
| undeclaredx | I used it on the alternate iso | 07:02 |
| undeclaredx | it gave me the minimal version | 07:02 |
| IndyGunFreak | ohh... ok... | 07:02 |
| DasEi | Nicekiwi9: your last request, action-option ? | 07:02 |
| undeclaredx | no idea why | 07:02 |

| Gnea | MrSteve: it won't let you boot into ubuntu? | 07:22 |
| MrSteve | Gnea - the boot loader is delayed - then pops up menu of OS to lad | 07:22 |
| MrSteve | Load | 07:22 |
| Berzerker | how do I reset my terminal settings? | 07:23 |
| MrSteve | Then, it wont load XP.. | 07:23 |

| Berzerker | nvm fixed that, what's the syntax for executing two commands on the same line? | 07:25 |
| pete_ | DasEi, ok, how do I put the free space in to ubuntu | 07:25 |
| MrSteve | loading with recovery mode.. it goes on and on to a point and hangs | 07:25 |

| DasEi | !fstab | pete_ | 07:25 |
| Gnea | MrSteve: well, need to know what that point is | 07:25 |
| ubottu | pete_: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 07:25 |
| MrSteve | Gnea - it last told me file checker was forced, after 27 times loading, and it hang | 07:26 |
| Gnea | MrSteve: it doesn't hang, it's checking the filesystem - how big is your ubuntu disk? | 07:26 |
| MrSteve | Gnea - the unetbootin part manager will run, it did once a bit ago | 07:26 |
| Gnea | MrSteve: it's probable that you broke it when you thought it was hanging, when it really wasn't. what version of Ubuntu is installed? | 07:26 |
| MrSteve | Gnea - it gave no response after 44.5% | 07:26 |
| Gnea | how long did you wait after 44.5%? | 07:27 |
| pete_ | DasEi, can I pastebin you my file | 07:27 |
| MrSteve | uhm.. I got the Hardy, I think | 07:27 |
| Bluey | it's griping because I don't have the latest kde | 07:27 |

| MrSteve | looking at XP under file system.. it is changed. | 07:29 |
| NiNes | Hi | 07:29 |
| Gnea | MrSteve: that is quite odd. I would boot up the livecd and run a manual fsck on the ubuntu drives like this: sudo e2fsck -y /dev/sda1 | 07:29 |
| MrSteve | Looking at unbuntu files under part mgr.. it seems all there but wont load | 07:30 |
| jonsol_ | MrSteve: could be anything from a fucked up partition table to a broken hd, cable or controller. Check that all cables, can cause strange problems with lockups. Then boot with a rescue cd a do a manual fsck. | 07:30 |

| Gnea | MrSteve: then it doesn't matter what you use, if it's a livecd or flash bootable - just get some ubuntu booted up and manually fsck it | 07:33 |
| pete_ | DasEi, ya | 07:33 |
| MrSteve | Gnea - can I do that from terminal in the Part manager>? | 07:33 |
| Gnea | MrSteve: i don't see why you'd use the partition manager, but a terminal, yes | 07:34 |

| NiNes | i've heard of some nuke thing? | 07:35 |
| DasEi | pete_: so its sda 5 then | 07:35 |
| MrSteve | I am thinking that there has been a change to computers.. where now you click on an icon, then you get your user box to log in.. | 07:35 |
| pete_ | DasEi, if you say so | 07:35 |
| jasonmchristos | NiNes: you just have to tell ubuntu to do it when you install, click use entire disk | 07:36 |
| Bluey | nines - you should be able to boot up the cd and it has the option of using the entire hard drive | 07:36 |
| NiNes | ok great thanks guys | 07:36 |
| Bluey | nines - you d/l and burned the iso, yes? | 07:36 |

| jaypro | sweet! thanks jonsol_! | 07:51 |
| jonsol_ | No worries. | 07:51 |
| mgmuscari | the laptop/server will have access to the NAS. i want to be able to hit the server from any of my other pc's and queue up music to play | 07:52 |
| dmpjk | jasonmchristos: ty | 07:52 |
| jaypro | jonsol_ oh... what do you use instead of vlc? or did you add vlc to your asus eee? | 07:52 |
| dmpjk | sounds like winehq is the place to look for answers | 07:52 |
| mgmuscari | e.g. if i'm on my bed with my laptop, i want to be able to queue up a playlist, then turn off my laptop and go to bed while the music keeps playing | 07:52 |

| jerknextdoor | alt+tab also quits working when my left mouse button quits working. i have no idea how to start troubleshooting it. | 09:10 |
| Chose | My friend just brought a netbook with gOS and I cannot config wifi | 09:10 |
| Chose | help a dude out please | 09:10 |
| jasonmchristos | Chose: what is gOS this is an ubuntu room | 09:11 |
| Chose | I tried nm-applet but it only shows me network manager with no wifi | 09:11 |
| Chose | I know bro, but its a ubuntu like OS | 09:11 |
| rsk | not supported here | 09:11 |
| jerknextdoor | Chose: this is ubuntu support. just because it's based on the linux kernal doesn't make it ubuntu like. | 09:12 |
| jasonmchristos | Chose: well enable the wireless in windows first thats what i had to do on an eeePC when using ubuntu remix | 09:12 |
| jasonmchristos | Chose: those wifi chips cant be turned on from nix | 09:12 |
| Chose | enable in windows? what good would that do me if the driver is incompatible with linux? | 09:12 |
| jasonmchristos | Chose: pm me since its OT | 09:13 |

| jasonmchristos | jerknextdoor: r u serious about troubleshooting a mouse? | 09:13 |
| Chose | I have no mouse issues... | 09:14 |
| Chose | friend just brought a netbook with gOS | 09:14 |
| jerknextdoor | jasonchristos: it's not a hardware issue, so yes. | 09:14 |
| dmpjk | jerknextdoor: are you using gnome? | 09:14 |
| Zahid | anyone who worked on xubuntu | 09:14 |
| jasonmchristos | jerknextdoor: did you try another mouse? | 09:15 |
| marck | hello | 09:15 |
| Ali_nz | hey so, if may laptop use ati radeon graphics, should I be installing something like xf86-ati? | 09:15 |
| jasonmchristos | Zahid: i tried xubuntu oncew | 09:15 |
| marck | i got an hard drive with ubuntu | 09:15 |
| jerknextdoor | dmpjk: yeah. i'm in 9.04 with all the updates. the problem started in 8.10. | 09:15 |
| dmpjk | i had mouse troubles when i used kde opensuse | 09:15 |
| Zahid | then wat happened when access samba shared data | 09:15 |
| jasonmchristos | Ali_nz: there is radeon drivers, just go to hardware drivers under admin | 09:15 |
| Chose | yes I am using GHOME | 09:15 |
| jerknextdoor | jasonmchristos: it's a laptop. if it were that easy and if it were hardware related i would have fixed it months ago. | 09:15 |
| marck | i got an hard drive with ubuntu | 09:16 |
| jasonmchristos | jerknextdoor: does it work under windoes? | 09:16 |
| marck | now i would to remove the mount and swap | 09:16 |
| dmpjk | jerknextdoor: and you are sure its related to 8.04 and not just a mouse who is worn-out | 09:16 |
| Chose | Wireless controller is not the same as saying the netbook has a wireless adapter embedded right? | 09:16 |
| marck | how to do ? | 09:16 |
| Zahid | jerknextdoor: have u access samba shared data | 09:16 |
| Ali_nz | jasonmchristos: Is the installation likely to be using them by default, out of the box, or do I need to tell it to use them? | 09:16 |
| jerknextdoor | jasonmchristos: no idea. i haven't touched windows a like 5 years. but it doesn't happen with knoppix or and other distro. | 09:16 |
| Chose | I researched and I could wrapper the drive to work in linux... that being the drive for a windows based wifi usb | 09:17 |
| jerknextdoor | dmpjk: it only happens in ubuntu. and i've since done a clean install of 9.04. but since i just copied my /home over i dont know that the problem would have been exactly fixed. | 09:17 |
| Chose | my friend brought this cause he is cheap. My experience is solely with windows so using this OS is OK but its like Im learning windows again | 09:17 |
| jasonmchristos | Ali_nz: look under system > admin > hardware drivers and see what it says | 09:17 |
| jerknextdoor | Zahid: please don't randomly pick someone to ask a question to. ask the question to the room and if someone has an suggestion they will answer you. | 09:18 |
| jasonmchristos | jerknextdoor: that makes sense then that its an ubuntu issue | 09:18 |
| Chose | jason, I saw this "systems" when I was researching. This GHOME doesnt have systems on its desktop | 09:18 |
| marck | how to remove the mount and swap ? i tried to boot until to hace access to the shell, but any time starts ubuntu | 09:18 |
| marck | i want to remove ubuntu | 09:18 |
| jerknextdoor | jasonmchristos: that's why i'm trying to figure out how to troubleshoot it. i've never had a problem with something mouse related haha. | 09:19 |
| jasonmchristos | jerknextdoor: well when did it start? | 09:19 |
| marck | how to access to fdisk ? | 09:19 |
| Ali_nz | jasonmchristos: it says no proprietry drivers | 09:19 |
| IpSe_DiXiT | a good video splitting? | 09:20 |
| marck | it starts, without having time to access to shell, to use the fdisk | 09:20 |
| dmpjk | jerknextdoor: its not just a battery thing? | 09:20 |
| jerknextdoor | jasonmchristos: it's a thinkpad r51 which has two sets of buttons. the first set are the regular ones at the bottom of the trackpad like a normal laptop. those one's broke a long time ago so i've had to use the second set which are ibm only buttons. so i'd say it started about 4 months ago. | 09:20 |
| aksci | can anyone roughly estimate the monthly bandwidth a college website would require for plain registration purpose and download of 1mb article? | 09:20 |
| jasonmchristos | Ali_nz: it prob used the right driver by default but you can search engine it to be sure how to check you will need to know the chipset and the driver installed | 09:20 |
| jerknextdoor | dmpjk: how could it be battery related? | 09:21 |
| dmpjk | jerknextdoor: i such a low level guy | 09:21 |
| jerknextdoor | jasonmchristos: for a long time it was very consistant about when it didn't work. but about an hour or so ago it started going pretty random. | 09:21 |
| jasonmchristos | jerknextdoor: well compare what driver knoppix uses and install it into ubuntu | 09:21 |
| dmpjk | jerknextdoor: i was thinking it was chordless and that has batteries inside | 09:22 |
| Ali_nz | jasonmchristos: k | 09:22 |
| IpSe_DiXiT | a good video splitter? i need to split a video in 2 parts | 09:22 |
| jasonmchristos | jerknextdoor: i would just use an external mouse | 09:22 |
| Chose | thanks for the help | 09:22 |
| jerknextdoor | jasonmchristos: haha. how have i not done that? wow. you're kind of a genius right this second. | 09:22 |
| jerknextdoor | let me fire up the knop. | 09:22 |
| iceroot_ | what is $@ at the shell/ in a script? | 09:22 |
| jasonmchristos | jerknextdoor: well im saying it because you said the hardware is breaking, but if u dont want to do that and it works under knoppix just find out which driver its using and use it for ubuntu | 09:23 |

| Ali_nz | jasonmchristos: nah, I have used this heaps with windows etc | 09:26 |
| jasonmchristos | Ali_nz: otherwise just use openDNS and specify them manually | 09:26 |
| jerknextdoor | jasonmchristos: no, i get what you're saying. i can't believe i hadn't tried that yet. i'll have to wait til tomorrow to do it though. my knoppix disk is at my old lady's house. | 09:26 |
| jasonmchristos | jerknextdoor: cool glad i could help | 09:26 |
| dmpjk | Ali_nz: is it possible for you to select which dns provider you would like? | 09:27 |

| louis | I can post the error | 09:31 |
| jasonmchristos | IpSe_DiXiT: yes there is a program on there ive used it but the codecs arent installed u will have to install some codecs and convert the video to DV to edit it | 09:31 |
| dmpjk | jerknextdoor: is it a thinkpad, then i guess that the joystick in the middle of the keyboard counts as default mouse | 09:32 |
| jerknextdoor | mgmuscari: yeah. i'm having trackpad problems. for a while left mouse button doesn't work after a reboot unless i restart X. but tonight it just started to stop working randomly even after i restart X. | 09:32 |

| mgmuscari | louis: are these rar'd files? | 09:32 |
| jerknextdoor | did xorg.conf change in 9.04? | 09:32 |
| mgmuscari | that means that you don't have the program "unrar" in your path | 09:32 |
| louis | yeah that one was | 09:32 |
| mgmuscari | jerknextdoor: what kind of thinkpad? | 09:33 |
| jerknextdoor | mgmuscari: r51 | 09:33 |
| louis | most the others are zipped or .7z | 09:33 |
| csaba | how can I listen to music on my bluetooth headset? | 09:33 |
| mgmuscari | louis: so you need to install a program to extract .rar | 09:33 |
| dmpjk | jerknextdoor: why not just reinstall everything but unplug the mouse | 09:33 |
| louis | well doesn't ubuntu already come with that out of the box? | 09:33 |
| Prohibited | mgmucari: sudo apt-get install rar and sudo apt-get install unrar | 09:33 |
| mgmuscari | louis: rar is a proprietary thing afaik | 09:34 |
| jerknextdoor | dmpjk: it's a trackpad. it's built in. i'll do a clean install when 9.10 is if i don't have the problem fixed by then. | 09:34 |

| louis | gonna try to get this working now | 09:36 |
| louis | brb afk a while | 09:36 |
| jerknextdoor | mgmuscari: i've had ubuntu on this thing for two or three years and haven't had a problem until recently. no idea what's causing it. but everything works fine in knoppix, fedora, and opensuse so it's got to be an ubuntu problem. | 09:36 |
| AppleCider | Which program can open .hta on Ubuntu? | 09:36 |
| mgmuscari | almostAg33k: also, take a look at Google Wave... maybe you guys can get invites :) | 09:36 |
| KB1JWQ | AppleCider: From the terminal, what does "file THEFILEYOUCAREABOUT.hta" say? | 09:36 |
| mgmuscari | jerknextdoor: it's probably some update that fell down the tree | 09:37 |
| AppleCider | KB1JWQ: Had to reboot | 09:37 |
| jerknextdoor | mgmuscari: i'm sure it is...i just dont have any idea where to start trouble shooting...especially since xorg.conf is no long the go to place for this stuff. | 09:37 |
| AppleCider | Wireless didn't connect | 09:37 |
| almostAg33k | mgmuscari: would it be a server im looking for? cos we use zshare. | 09:37 |

| AppleCider | hi! | 09:38 |
| MrSteve | back in a bit - using part mgr.. on other drive | 09:38 |
| rangzy | I wanted to upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10 beta. the first time I tried, I got a 'need more space' kind of warning. | 09:39 |
| mgmuscari | ugh i wish MPD would finish up creating this database :[ | 09:39 |
| === arch_enthusiast_ is now known as arch_enthusiast | ||
| jasonmchristos | jerknextdoor: my guess is that when u were using knoppix it was just working since the problem is intermittant | 09:39 |
| rangzy | I did a apt-clean and it released 2gb space and repeated. | 09:39 |
| jerknextdoor | jasonmchristos: like i said it works with three different OS's so i can't imagine my hardware fails exactly the same way everytime and it just happens to be on a restart with ubuntu. | 09:39 |
| almostAg33k | mgmuscari: i dont really understand this samba thing | 09:39 |
| rangzy | the next time, the download went on well, did 1.2GB in 15mins, but stopped right after that. no action for 20mins. | 09:39 |
| mgmuscari | almostAg33k: you can do one of two things: | 09:40 |
| mgmuscari | you can either set up a samba server and leave it running 24/7 | 09:40 |
| mgmuscari | then allow your friends to connect to it over the network using smbclient | 09:40 |
| mgmuscari | or smbmount, whatever | 09:40 |
| rangzy | I did a 'cancel' installed all 9.04 updates, rebooted, and started the 9.10 beta upgrade again. this time, no downloads, and the laptop shut itself down, w/o any warning. | 09:40 |
| mgmuscari | or you can go out and buy a NAS device that already uses samba - like the Maxtor Central Axis, or what have you | 09:41 |
| rangzy | when I started it manually, it goes into ubuntu, but says 'modprobe: unable to load module" and stops right there. | 09:41 |
| dmpjk | rangzy: thats why its in beta | 09:41 |
| jasonmchristos | jerknextdoor: did you check system>settings>mouse | 09:42 |
| mgmuscari | rangzy: you borked a kernal module somewhere | 09:42 |
| === [1]sassyn is now known as sassyn | ||
| rangzy | dmpjk: yes, I understand.. I thought beta wouldnt have this kind of issues. | 09:42 |
| rangzy | mgmuscari: oh is it ? should I have installed all the 9.04's kernel updates as well ? | 09:42 |
| jerknextdoor | jasonmchristos: yeah. i've been through every gui settings menu there is. | 09:42 |
| intok | Ubuntu 9.04 live 64 bit, how can I unrar a 3 part .rar file? I've got all 3 parts of it and have the 7zip, rar and unrar installed and have been able to open unsplit .rar files already | 09:42 |

| mgmuscari | rangzy: imo canceling an upgrade from one version to the next is a bad idea... you might have to reinstall your os | 09:43 |
| jasonmchristos | jerknextdoor: i thought on the ibms the top buttons were click and hold buttons | 09:43 |

| jasonmchristos | jerknextdoor: you cant alt tab while holding a mouse button | 09:44 |
| mgmuscari | rangzy: since you canceled in the middle of the install, some stuff got done, and some stuff didn't | 09:44 |
| mgmuscari | i doubt it was able to roll back all the way | 09:45 |
| rangzy | okay. does wubi installer work for 9.10 beta ? | 09:45 |

| jerknextdoor | jasonmchristos: i'm not trying to alt tab while holding a mouse button. i'm just pointing out that there are more symptoms than just the mouse button alone. so i'm thinking it's a driver problem for the keyboard? | 09:46 |

| jasonmchristos | jerknextdoor: when you press the top button of an ibm its like clicking and holding | 09:46 |

| jasonmchristos | jerknextdoor: alt+tab will not work while holding a mouse button | 09:47 |
| mgmuscari | poetofzwan: sorry, i pretty much just bind my audio device to my laptop's volume buttons and leave it at that | 09:47 |

| Guest71253 | a jasonmchristos | 09:47 |
| Imran-UK | histo, ubuntu jaunty on shuttle xpc - got an intermittent problem on boot-up whereby it hangs after a kernel to load is chosen at grub with "starting up..." | 09:47 |
| jerknextdoor | jasonmchristos: there are no mouse buttons being pressed at all. i can't use at all. | 09:47 |
| AppleCider | What about .wmv files? | 09:47 |
| mgmuscari | AppleCider: what about them? | 09:48 |
| jasonmchristos | jerknextdoor: thats because u press it once and it "holds" the click | 09:48 |
| mgmuscari | AppleCider: install a codec pack | 09:48 |
| Imran-UK | when it does load, a breif message about "PBLK" appears | 09:48 |
| AppleCider | VLC didn't work | 09:48 |
| AppleCider | Neither Did RealPlayer | 09:48 |
| AppleCider | Or restricted-codec | 09:48 |
| AppleCider | or whatever | 09:48 |
| mgmuscari | Imran-UK: incorrect header length or something? | 09:48 |
| AppleCider | *Restricted Access | 09:48 |
| Imran-UK | mgmuscari, i think the problems started after i reset the bios to failsafe defaults | 09:49 |
| mgmuscari | AppleCider: i'm not sure but ffmpeg-unstripped might include a wmv decoder | 09:49 |
| mgmuscari | Imran-UK: i get something about invalid pblk header length sometimes | 09:49 |
| mgmuscari | Imran-UK: it's never caused my system to fail to boot, though | 09:49 |
| jerknextdoor | jasonmchristos: i just restarted X (thank god for reenabling ctrl+alt+bkspc) and everything is working fine. alt+tab works just like it should and so does my mouse. | 09:49 |
| Imran-UK | mgmuscari, yep- thats the warning i get | 09:49 |
| Imran-UK | but then ubuntu loads as normal after a second. sometimes i dont see that watrning and it hangs at "starting up..." for minutes | 09:50 |
| jasonmchristos | jerknextdoor: the top buttons, u press it once and it "holds" the click | 09:50 |
| mgmuscari | Imran-UK: yeah, i get the same thing, except it never hangs for more than a few seconds | 09:50 |
| jerknextdoor | jasonmchristos: what is the "top button"? | 09:50 |
| AppleCider | Nope | 09:50 |
| AppleCider | Truly sucks | 09:50 |
| AppleCider | Stuff this | 09:51 |
| FloodBot1 | AppleCider: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 09:51 |
| AppleCider | I'm moving to AVI | 09:51 |
| Imran-UK | mgmuscari, hmm. i see. another issue is that a while back i got bios checksum warnings - i wonder if my bios batetry is getting old? | 09:51 |
| jasonmchristos | jerknextdoor: its the button that rules all of the rest | 09:51 |
| mgmuscari | oooh, MPD finally finished whatever it was doing with my samba share and started using 99% cpu | 09:51 |
| jasonmchristos | jerknextdoor: if you press it you will leave the matrix | 09:51 |
| mgmuscari | Imran-UK: that's certainly possible... | 09:51 |
| jasonmchristos | jerknextdoor: but you cant come back if you press it | 09:52 |
| mgmuscari | Imran-UK: i get that error on a laptop that's less than 10 months old, though | 09:52 |
| jerknextdoor | jasonmchristos: wow. so it's not a physical button? it's some magical thing? | 09:52 |
| jasonmchristos | jerknextdoor: get some sleep bud | 09:52 |
| Imran-UK | mgmuscari, weird. a bit drastic but i might try updating the bios to the same/newer version | 09:52 |
| jerknextdoor | jasonmchristos: you amaze me. | 09:53 |
| mgmuscari | that might help. mess with your ACPI settings | 09:53 |
| mgmuscari | i think they're related for some reason | 09:53 |
| Imran-UK | a shame, as in all other respects jaunty is the fastest loading OS ive ever used | 09:53 |
| Imran-UK | yep, i'll try fiddling with ACPI first - in my googling, someone suggested that | 09:53 |
| acuster | hey all, is there a place where the ubuntu version name is stored, such as in /boot or /etc? | 09:54 |
| Imran-UK | acalvo, cat /etc/lsb_release it hink | 09:54 |
| mgmuscari | wow, go-go gadget craptop... this thing is really struggling to assemble the MPD database | 09:54 |
| mgmuscari | i hope i never have to build it again | 09:54 |

| mgmuscari | if MPD fails to create the database, i'm going to be kinda bummed :( | 09:57 |

| ArkoldThos | G2k, use the most close to your country | 09:59 |
| ArkoldThos | or if is possible the one on your country, if it gets stalled all the time, try other near | 09:59 |
| G2k | ArkoldThos I know that. i already set it in the software sources | 09:59 |
| sztomi | hi! how do I set the default privileges on automatically mounted drives? Right now it's rwx for everybody, and I want it to be readable only for a specific group. | 10:00 |
| G2k | ArkoldThos but apparently it hasnt been set on my mounted partition | 10:00 |
| Imran-UK | ArkoldThos, another way would be to stat one of the system files like maybe /etc/lsb-release but i'm unsure if that retains the timestamp from the archive | 10:00 |
| G2k | ArkoldThos only on the livecd | 10:00 |
| ArkoldThos | G2k, change it manually in /etc/apt/sources.list | 10:00 |
| G2k | thnx ill try that | 10:00 |

| user1 | irc.krey.net | 10:44 |
| shades_aus | i.e no x | 10:44 |
| funkyHat | shades_aus: what do you mean by "blnk screen", when you choose the high resolution all you see is a blank screen? | 10:44 |
| funkyHat | *blank | 10:44 |
| shades_aus | but sill a bit noobish ;) | 10:44 |
| shades_aus | funkyHat I mean when I plug in the LCD for DVI and unplug the VGA I get nothing. Just the bongo sounds | 10:44 |
| shades_aus | funkyHat even after a shutdown -r now | 10:45 |
| shades_aus | funkyHat I also only get low resolution under VGA out | 10:45 |
| Ali_nz | hmm, even tho I am in the directory with vncviewer, its still looking for vncviewer in bash: /usr/bin/vncviewer: No such file or directory | 10:45 |
| funkyHat | shades_aus: if you plug the VGA back in do you get the display back? | 10:46 |
| Ali_nz | something to do with my attempts to install xvnc or tightvnc | 10:46 |

| shades_aus | <funkyHat>sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf ./xorgold.conf | 10:51 |
| tombott | louis - are replacing your HD? If so why not use clonezilla to clone your old HD to your new HD. No re-install needed then | 10:52 |

| funkyHat | shades_aus: not cp, mv | 10:52 |
| shades_aus | I rmed the xorg | 10:52 |

| funkyHat | iceroot_: the % means every line, and the g means every time on each line (otherwise it would just do the first one on the current line). You can also give it a range of line numbers | 10:57 |

| whitman | Using a live cd of 9.10 I'm trying to mount an ntfs drive that was used with windows server 2000 (but no one knows the admin password anymore). When trying to open the drive in "Computer" I get prompted to authenticate. As it's a live cd there isn't a password so I've just tried a blank password but that doesn't work - access denied. Any ideas? | 11:04 |
| chalcedony | does anyone know how to get youtube and other downloaded video to have captions for the deaf? | 11:05 |
| Lint01 | where's Grub menu file is located? | 11:05 |
| chalcedony | on linux | 11:05 |
| erUSUL | Lint01: /boot/grub/ | 11:05 |
| funkyHat | whitman: sounds like that should work, but you could set a password on the live CD and try again, it could be a bug. | 11:06 |
| Lint01 | and how it's called? | 11:06 |
| funkyHat | menu.lst | 11:06 |
| Lint01 | cat: /boot/grub/menu.lst: No such file or directory, wtf? | 11:07 |

| PiktS | hi, how to check what program uses bufers. (my sys monitos shows 70 megs of bufers , but no external drives are mounted... | 11:13 |
| shades_aus | funkyHat That got the DVI working :) resolution still real bad | 11:14 |
| funkyHat | shades_aus: cool :). Now you could add SubSection "Display" in the DVI "Screen" to force the resolution to be what you want | 11:15 |
| shades_aus | funkyHat In the corner of my Gnome screen it is labeled BenQ 24" | 11:15 |
| funkyHat | shades_aus: however you might find that the "Screen" labelled LCD is not actually the right one | 11:15 |
| annimar | Hi there, is there a recommended migration path from pidgin to empathy for karmic? | 11:15 |
| shades_aus | funkyHat last time I added subsection with display modes, it failed to launch x | 11:16 |
| funkyHat | shades_aus: maybe because it was on a VGA and the resolution was too high? I don't know | 11:16 |
| funkyHat | shades_aus: do you have the log from the crash? | 11:17 |
| shades_aus | funkyHat it wouldn't even except "1204x768" in that section | 11:17 |
| shades_aus | funkyHat where would that log be written to? | 11:17 |
| funkyHat | shades_aus: /var/log/Xorg.*.log - it doesn't keep all of them though, so if you've restarted X a couple of times it will probably be gone | 11:18 |
| funkyHat | shades_aus: I'm not sure but you might have to have a DefaultDepth 24 line in your Section "Screen" to use SubSection "Display"... | 11:19 |
| shades_aus | funkyHat tried that too | 11:19 |
| funkyHat | shades_aus: seems kind of silly but I've not got many more ideas :D | 11:19 |
| shades_aus | funkyHat Not a problem, | 11:19 |
| shades_aus | funkyHat I found a log. Will it be of use? there's a lot in there | 11:20 |
| funkyHat | shades_aus: pastebin it anyway, can't hurt to have a look | 11:20 |

| shades_aus | funkyHat http://pastebin.com/d7b966355 | 11:22 |
| funkyHat | PupenoG: I run a podcast but have not got around to registering it with iTunes yet so can't say definitely yes | 11:22 |
| Sagaci | Lint01: boot off a livecd then backup all essential data (if any) and reinstall | 11:22 |

| funkyHat | If you just want it to run in the background | 11:30 |

| funkyHat | shades_aus: are you at a graphical desktop, then? | 11:32 |
| shades_aus | My Gnome terminal keys are all stuffed in vi. Must be an emulation thing | 11:32 |
| funkyHat | Odd :/ | 11:32 |
| shades_aus | funkyHat yes | 11:32 |

| jony123 | opening rar files in ubuntu how? | 11:35 |
| terminhell | unrar | 11:35 |
| NickDeNeger | jony123: type: sudo apt-get install rar | 11:35 |
| NickDeNeger | at terminal | 11:35 |
| terminhell | or get the p7zip suite | 11:35 |
| Reactor | jony123 sudo apt-get install linrar | 11:35 |
| Madpilot | ubottu, rar | jony123 | 11:36 |
| ubottu | jony123: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free | 11:36 |
| ActionParsnip | jony123: also: sudo apt-get install unrar | 11:36 |
| shades_aus | funkyHat Oh! that worked. what's the `/.bashrc for? | 11:36 |
| terminhell | >.< | 11:36 |
| shades_aus | funkyHat Oh! that worked. what's the ~/.bashrc for? | 11:36 |
| ActionParsnip | jony123: it will add functionality to fileroller, you can also extract with: rar x <rar file> | 11:36 |
| terminhell | its for setting command aliases partly | 11:36 |
| funkyHat | shades_aus: it is run by bash (the shell you are using) when it starts up. So you can use it to set up bash to behave the way you want | 11:36 |
| ActionParsnip | shades_aus: its a script ran when you open a terminal, sets up aliases and variables for you | 11:37 |
| shades_aus | right | 11:37 |
| shades_aus | funkyHat how do I knwo what vi likes? | 11:37 |
| terminhell | vi should open almost anything | 11:38 |

| shades_aus | funkyHat lol ok. i'll look at vim | 11:41 |
| shades_aus | funkyHat vi works fine at work. just haven't got it working all that nice here | 11:41 |
| funkyHat | shades_aus: vim is "Vi IMproved" - it is similar to vi but more usable, I find | 11:41 |
| funkyHat | shades_aus: it could be that at work vi is an alias for vim | 11:42 |
| shades_aus | funkyHat true! | 11:42 |
| terminhell | id wrather use nano | 11:42 |
| funkyHat | rather with a w :D | 11:42 |

| steve2 | Hi, newbie here. I have a few HDDs/partitions installed. Whenever I want to access files not part of linux filesystem, it asks me for a password. For e.g., my mp3s have their own partition and each time I re-boot and open Rhythmbox I have to re-specify the mp3 directory and enter password before I can play any music. How can I set access to these files without need of password? Thanks. | 11:52 |

| _ruben | !root | starke | 12:42 |
| ubottu | starke: 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 | 12:42 |

| ActionParsnip | tzolkin: thats a karmic kernel | 12:51 |

| tzolkin | ActionParsnip, I use the jaunty | 12:52 |
| tombott | <ActionParsnip> - i've always used sudo, works for me. thanks though | 12:52 |

| tzolkin | jonsol_, yes, i upgrade kernel from 2.6.28 to 2.6.30 | 12:52 |
| severb | tombott: that works fine, running gnome-display-properties as root doesn't throw any exceptions, but if I save the changes and reloging all the changes are lost | 12:52 |
| tzolkin | jonsol_, now i use 2.6.30 | 12:53 |
| tombott | severb - what rights does you current user have? is it a restricted account? | 12:53 |
| ActionParsnip | tombott: its the correct way to run gui apps with elevated priveledges. Please read: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo | 12:53 |
| jonsol_ | tzolkin: then you have to provide more information on _what_ that does not work. "It doesn't work" is not sufficient. | 12:54 |
| severb | I'm using the default user I created when I installed ubuntu 9.10. It's the only user present on this machine | 12:54 |

| tombott | severb: your running 9.10? | 12:56 |

| mudittuli | hi, i just bought a 5g IPod Nano, cant upload songs on it, what software should I use ? | 12:57 |
| tombott | ActionParsnip - indeed. some instances though you will want it to use users config and not root and vice versa. so its interesting to knwo | 12:57 |
| twinkie_addict | hi | 12:57 |
| bazhang | mudittuli, gtkpod and banshee are worth a try | 12:58 |
| tzolkin | jonsol_, oh, it stop when compiling the Virtual Machine Monitor, sorry | 12:58 |
| ActionParsnip | tombott: its about the nvironment not being configured right. sudo doesnt setup the environment for x based apps, hence why gksudo exists, you can ruin ownerships of files | 12:58 |
| tombott | severb: ok, not used 9.10 for dual screen yet. you got all current updates installed? | 12:58 |

| N3O | i want to install kubuntu on my ubuntu 9.04 from cd . is that possible ? | 13:46 |
| jacquesdupontd | hi | 13:46 |
| rsk | N3O: use sudo apt-get instakk kubuntu-desktop | 13:47 |

| N3O | rsk , package not found. | 13:47 |
| stlsaint | N3O, its not on the cd..you need to have internet | 13:47 |
| rsk | then your sources.list is broken | 13:48 |
| rsk | fix that first | 13:48 |
| vigo | erry: I have seen no complaints like that, or missed them, backup FF, purge FF then install fresh from the Official Repository would be one way to investigate it. | 13:48 |

| SharpRain | it is installed | 13:50 |
| vigo | !minimal | 13:50 |
| ubottu | The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 13:50 |
| stlsaint | meaning unless you saved the .deb say thru aptoncd than you need internet to reach the repos to download desktop environment | 13:50 |

| erUSUL | xmas1: then disable gdm on boot « sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove » | 14:16 |
| mick__ | Bruners, xinerama? Never hear of it. The nvidia software is giving me the option to change the res of the monitor that already is running in high res but the other monitor can only be changed to a max of 640x480 | 14:16 |

| xmas1 | esUSUL, ok thanks again! :) | 14:16 |
| vigo | jacquesdupontd: Yes, that was a copy from one of the posters, you cannot willy nilly X out one setting and expect a new one to take hold, is either a purge or some backup stuff going on, or that is how I understand it. | 14:17 |

| ccooke | iceroot_: try "man xrandr" | 15:03 |
| ikonia | indus: there is still a recovery mode on the alternative cd | 15:03 |
| Andrew- | biczd: ok, what should I do precisely? | 15:03 |

| blackjak | if I have done make without sudo in front of it and now execute sudo make install will it be wrong? | 15:23 |
| kim__ | i have this | 15:23 |
| grawity | blackjak: 'make' doesn't need sudo, as it just compiles the program. But 'make install' usually does -- but even that depends on how you configured the program. | 15:23 |
| blackjak | ok I hope it will work :) | 15:24 |

| CHESLYN | erUSUL: thanks bra | 15:34 |
| Platonov | I'm trying them right now, kind of urgently :) | 15:34 |

| Platonov | no, just looking for gifs/jpegs/bmps | 15:34 |

| Fenix|work | baba_b00ie, however you wish | 15:42 |
| erUSUL | Fenix|work: do some benchmarks ? | 15:42 |
| erUSUL | blackjak: * is a glob patter it maens everything | 15:43 |
| Fenix|work | baba_b00ie, some people like /var on a partition, others like /home on a separate partition. Some like /boot, /var, /home, /tmp and /opt to be on separate partitions and/or drives. It's really however you wish to set it up. | 15:43 |

| noren | now i need help fixing my fstab | 15:49 |
| noren | http://pastebin.com/f25ca927e | 15:50 |
| void_pointer | blackjak, the "*" means "matches 0 or more characters", often called a "wildcard". So basically yes | 15:50 |
| phix | noren: that was stupid :) | 15:50 |
| noren | phix: thanks for the comment but i thought i cud get some help here | 15:51 |
| void_pointer | blackjak, for example "black*" would match "blackjak", "black", "blacko", "black1234" etc. | 15:51 |
| grawity | noren: You need to add the new /home to fstab, then. (Like this: /dev/whatever /home filesystem-type auto,exec,utf8 0 0) | 15:51 |
| bastid_raZor | noren: you didn't add anything for /home there? | 15:51 |
| phix | noren: yeah, just login as console, move the folder back or add in a bind extry to your fstab to the new location | 15:51 |
| noren | how can i add now | 15:51 |
| phix | noren: CTRL+ALT+F1 | 15:51 |
| noren | i am unable to edit the fstab now | 15:51 |
| grawity | noren: sudo nano /etc/fstab, from a console. | 15:51 |
| phix | login then sudo -s up | 15:51 |
| grawity | noren: Ctrl-Alt-F1 will open a terminal. | 15:52 |
| grawity | noren: Or, reboot and choose 'recovery mode' - then edit fstab. | 15:52 |
| blackjak | no I 'd like to know the differences between black\ * and black * and black* because when I try apt-get install rubygems * it did not work | 15:52 |
| void_pointer | blackjak, of course not. It means nothing | 15:52 |
| phix | blackjak: erh, looks like you have a space in there | 15:52 |
| grawity | blackjak: A space separates arguments. So when you put a space before *, you basically have a "rubygems" and a "*" | 15:53 |
| CHESLYN | erUSUL: sorry but you confuse me now what symbol must i use 4 the << you said i must not use them.what symbols please ? | 15:53 |
| void_pointer | blackjak, that's why I gave you those example ... | 15:53 |

| aimtrainer | ? | 16:21 |
| phix | rek: ls /media/disk returns what? (dont paste it in here) | 16:22 |
| benjamin_ | for swap the double size of your ram is sufficient | 16:22 |
| phix | Beijing: 1 1/2 is sufficient :) | 16:22 |
| rek | archives documenti immagini musica SmartQ5 soft.img | 16:23 |

| Willyyyyyyyyyyy | huhu | 16:23 |
| phix | rek: ok | 16:23 |

| odysseas | Hello everyone, is there any way to install vanilla KDE, not the kubuntu-desktop? | 17:03 |
| grawity | odysseas: Just open Synaptic, and select the KDE packages you want. | 17:04 |
| odysseas | thanks grawity | 17:04 |
| grawity | odysseas: Look for kde-base or something like that. | 17:04 |
| [Nobody] | creek23 whats the wubi problem ur havin? | 17:04 |
| Sitowlan | pigflu, the port is filtered, you need to open port 80 in your router | 17:04 |
| zap85 | thanks for the help greyghost | 17:05 |
| grawity | creek23: From Windows, open the Command Prompt and run 'chkdsk /f c:' | 17:05 |
| creek23_ | Nobody, Ubuntu wont boot because wubildr is missing | 17:05 |
| GreyGhost | zap85, worked? | 17:05 |
| [Nobody] | creek23, sounds like you've shutdown bad and corrupted it, so do what grawity said | 17:05 |
| creek23_ | grawity, my drive C cannot be read by Windows installation, but can be mounted by Ubuntu LiveCD | 17:06 |
| [Nobody] | ouch, you tried to go into standby or hibernation on wubi didnt u? | 17:06 |
| grawity | creek23_: Hm. Do you have a Windows install CD you could run chkdsk from? | 17:06 |
| creek23_ | it seems, my drive C is now a non-Windows compatible file system | 17:06 |
| grawity | [Nobody]: That shouldn't be the problem | 17:06 |
| [Nobody] | yeah it is | 17:06 |
| [Nobody] | i tried it once by accdient and killed my windows | 17:07 |
| grawity | creek23_: _What_ filesystem is it, then? What does the LiveCD report it as? | 17:07 |
| ChrisMcA | newbie question here - can I access a windows network share from the unix command line? | 17:07 |
| creek23_ | LiveCD says, its ntfs-3g | 17:07 |
| grawity | ChrisMcA: Yep. | 17:07 |
| ChrisMcA | Cool, what's the syntax? | 17:07 |
| creek23_ | btw, what's fuseblk? | 17:07 |
| grawity | ChrisMcA: If you use GNOME - the preferred way is gvfs-mount smb://user@host/share/; cd ~/.gvfs/ | 17:07 |
| pak0 | hi all | 17:08 |
| grawity | ChrisMcA: For the "traditional" way, look up mount.cifs | 17:08 |
| pak0 | i`m looking if its possible to work with one yamaha cvp-206 on ubuntu http://music.yamaha.com/products/main.html?productId=113&hierarchy_id=20017_20018_16277 | 17:08 |
| creek23_ | Nobody, Ive always left my laptop on standby. | 17:08 |
| [Nobody] | with wubi thats dangerous | 17:08 |
| creek23_ | and got it shutdown correctly the last time it was working okay. | 17:08 |
| [Nobody] | wubi somehow fails with standby/hibernation | 17:08 |
| pak0 | i know i have drivers for mac and windows, but cant find anything about ubuntu or linux or something | 17:08 |
| ChrisMcA | cheers grawity, I'll give that a shot | 17:09 |
| grawity | ChrisMcA: And there's smbclient too, but it's a little inconvienent to use. (But doesn't require root privs or GNOME.) | 17:09 |
| GreyGhost | crap my firefox got messed up .. | 17:09 |
| creek23_ | grawity, sadly, i dont have my windows install disk now. | 17:10 |
| grawity | ChrisMcA: Note that for gvfs-mount or smbclient to work, you'll need to install the 'samba' package. (It includes a SMB server too.) But mount.cifs seems to work without that. | 17:10 |

| lifestream | Hi, I suddenly have no sound at all. I haven't installed any kernel or driver updates, I think. Why would I have no sound now? | 18:00 |
| daevski | playya fccl: it think he issue is that isn't not enabled/engaged. Like the switch needs to be thrown for it to turn on. :-/ but I'm not sure how to do that. | 18:00 |
| AJC_Z0 | nerdy_kid: In "Login Window" in the "Remote" tab | 18:01 |
| cgroza | lifestream,did you changed any settings? | 18:01 |
| AJC_Z0 | and "Security" tab | 18:01 |

| chiky | veero? | 18:01 |
| nerdy_kid | AJC_Z0 Karmic got rid of that :( some file i can edit? | 18:01 |
| lifestream | cgroza, I don't think so. I turned off Beep a week ago or so, but I heard that it might cause all sounds to stop playing. So I booted up, and OK, beep was off, and sounds are playing OK. But a few boots later there is no sound | 18:02 |
| esther | veeroo!! | 18:02 |
| cgroza | lifestream,what driver do you use? | 18:02 |
| AJC_Z0 | nerdy_kid: You could just edit the gdm config directly | 18:03 |
| lifestream | cgroza, not sure how to check. When I open Volume Control, it says "HDA Intel (Alsa Mixer)" | 18:03 |
| lifestream | cgroza, using Jaunty | 18:03 |
| cgroza | lifestream,try to change to OSS | 18:04 |

| mgmuscari | grawity: is it possible to start my network before the fstab is read? | 18:07 |
| danielbohry | #punsh | 18:08 |
| grawity | mgmuscari: Well... no. The network software requires at least / to be mounted correctly - and that is done when reading fstab. | 18:08 |
| mgmuscari | urgh | 18:08 |
| mgmuscari | so i guess i could run another mount -a after the network is up | 18:08 |
| grawity | mgmuscari: If you have networked filesystems, you might try setting them to 'noauto', and writing your own initscript that mounts them all. | 18:09 |
| BitWraith | every time I plug in my SD card, it gets mounted at /media/disk. which service do I have to stop to temporarily disable that? | 18:09 |
| === bluebottle is now known as Guest52670 | ||
| mgmuscari | noauto in the fstab? | 18:09 |
| grawity | mgmuscari: Well, leaving it as 'auto' would just hang if the network isn't up yet. | 18:09 |
| mgmuscari | would it wait for the network to be up or just not get to that point? | 18:10 |
| grawity | 'noauto' simply means 'only mount this filesystem when told' | 18:10 |

| Xcell | ltcabral- are u using compiz? | 18:16 |
| grawity | mgmuscari: Almost. Remove 'splash' from it. | 18:16 |
| ronx | seidos, i looked at the specs for my board... under sound prefs, it doesn't list anything | 18:16 |
| mgmuscari | what do i do with "quiet" | 18:16 |
| ltcabral | Xcell: yes | 18:16 |
| grawity | mgmuscari: Remove that too, I guess. | 18:16 |
| mgmuscari | what does that do? | 18:16 |

| beam | hello there, can anyone please point out to me a channel dedicated to music and music software? | 18:17 |
| grawity | mgmuscari: 'quiet' hides all the boot messages. | 18:17 |
| mgmuscari | ok | 18:17 |
| zouhair | grawity: I was rather wondering if there was some command on the file to see if it got links | 18:17 |
| mgmuscari | alright let's see if this thing reboots gracefully now that i have my services set up... | 18:17 |
| zouhair | thanks anyway | 18:17 |
| grawity | mgmuscari: Btw, try removing 'quiet' but keeping 'splash'. Looks nice. | 18:17 |
| grawity | zouhair: And I just gave that command. | 18:17 |
| seidos | ronx: in sound prefs I have HDA Intel ALC268 listed. strange that you have nothing listed in sound prefs. | 18:17 |
| ltcabral | Xcell: hm.. ok.. will give it a try | 18:18 |
| Xcell | ok | 18:18 |
| ronx | seidos, you mean for each of the devices? like Sound Events? currently selected is "ALSA - Advanced Linux Sound Architecture" | 18:18 |
| grawity | zouhair: It's impossible to know that without checking every symlink in the filesystem. | 18:18 |

| ronx | anyone know of an easy way to roll back a particular aptitude upgrade? | 18:20 |
| seidos | ronx: not sure what it could be in the kernel that changed that would cause your sound to stop functioning | 18:20 |
| beam | Keiya: Thanks | 18:20 |
| slacker_nl | system404: first you make a backup of your disk/partition, then you can make an iso from it, burn that to cd/dvd and boot from it, restoring your system | 18:21 |
| system404 | is clonezilla easy to use | 18:21 |
| seidos | ronx: did you see if the older kernel was available from grub? | 18:21 |
| slacker_nl | system404: very | 18:21 |
| grawity | bumba: Evolution is only an email client. It only accesses mailboxes which you already have. | 18:21 |
| mgmuscari | oops, i forgot to add the mount entry to my fstab | 18:21 |
| slacker_nl | system404: pop in cd, boot from it, hit nter twice and then just follow the menu | 18:21 |
| grawity | bumba: It doesn't have any email addresses of its own. | 18:21 |
| ronx | seidos: it doesn't seem to keep older minor releases... like i have 2.6.28-14, but not 2.6.28-15.49 | 18:22 |
| bumba | Thanx grawity | 18:22 |
| seidos | ronx: does your sound work in 2.6.28-14? | 18:22 |

| ronx | seidos: i don't think i had it configured in 14... i tried booting it, but the graphics drivers weren't even set up... guess i could try booting it and setting up everything again... but i figured i'd try to figure out how to go back to 2.6.28-15.49 first | 18:23 |

| seidos | ronx: I'm not sure how much help I can be. I'm interested in helping, but I've never set up my sound to be alsa only, and I wouldn't know how to test if "alsa sees my soundcard". Perhaps alsa-mixer... | 18:28 |

| ronx | i.e. i don't think it's specific to alsa | 18:29 |
| Somniferous15 | how do i check if the computer recognizes my pci? | 18:29 |
| og01_ | Somniferous15: lspci | 18:30 |
| ronx | if i could figure out how to roll back the upgrades aptitude did yesterday (i have the list), i could test this theory | 18:30 |
| daevski | Somniferous15: lspci in terminal | 18:30 |
| seidos | ronx: I know you can install a kernel yourself. I'm running 2.6.30 | 18:31 |
| Somniferous15 | it shows up | 18:31 |
| mikinanuq | og01_: is your firewall forwarding port 80 to the apache server? | 18:31 |
| ronx | seidos: yeah, you mean like grabbing the source and compiling it manually? | 18:31 |
| seidos | ronx: I followed a how to for my video | 18:31 |

| Somniferous15 | but when i click on the network connections there are no wireless | 18:31 |
| Somniferous15 | and no option to enable wireless | 18:31 |
| og01_ | mikinanuq: port 80 (non ssl) works fine, but 443 doesnt (but is forwarded) | 18:32 |
| seidos | ronx: no. I didn't compile this kernel. (tried compiling gnome-power-manager the other day and got errors). You can download the kernel images, and set it up to be your kernel from the shell | 18:32 |
| jenistin | Somniferous15, then your wireless device is probably not recognized. | 18:32 |
| Somniferous15 | i tried madwifi, but it still doesn't work | 18:32 |
| Somniferous15 | how do i get it recognized? | 18:32 |

| jenistin | Somniferous15, you said you already tried madwifi, right? | 18:35 |
| Somniferous15 | yeah, the madwifi-tools | 18:35 |

| loquitus_of_borg | Is there a way for me to deny permissions to a user from changing the volume on the system, or from using the sound card? | 18:37 |
| seidos | Somniferous15: you need to make sure the package that has ath5k is installed, and you need to make sure ath5k isn't blacklisted, and you need to make sure ath_pci is blacklisted | 18:37 |
| Pulsewidth | But it just fails with "unable to find medium with a live filesystem" or something like that, and stops in busybox ininitramfs | 18:37 |
| jenistin | Pulsewidth, you can use ISO's on the USB Drive | 18:38 |
| Pulsewidth | I tried both ext3 and vfat, in both cases the install fails | 18:38 |
| Somniferous15 | whoah, k. which package has ath5k firstoff? | 18:38 |

| Margtan | hello | 18:38 |
| Pulsewidth | jenistin: You can't just dd the iso to the USB stick and boot from it | 18:39 |

| ronx | seidos: i couldn't go back to the previous minor version (i.e. couldn't go to 2.6.28-15.49 from 2.6.28-15.52), but i still had the major version (2.6.28-14) that i loaded from grub | 19:09 |

| costa | jshriver: netspeed is a Traffic monitor applet for Gnome | 19:10 |
| ronx | so, i know that 2.6.28-15.49 worked | 19:10 |
| ronx | and 2.6.28-15.52 doesn't | 19:10 |
| seidos | ronx: maybe you can update to 2.6.28-15.49. did you create a bug in launchpad? | 19:11 |

| jerkman | having huge problems with graphics | 19:15 |
| iceroot_ | what does it mean if %cpu (in top) is higher then 100%? (its a dual-cpu system) so the process is using 1 core 100% and the other 2%? | 19:16 |
| agliodbs | oh, I see. that's because of ebox | 19:16 |
| dragon | !test | 19:17 |
| ubottu | yes, I'm alive. | 19:17 |
| dragon | damn. | 19:17 |
| starcannon | iceroot then its not using more than 100% of your total cpu power, its using 100% of one core, and 2% of the other. or approx 50% of your total cpu power | 19:17 |
| jerkman | earlier, my pc died after playing a java game online. I believe it may be a cooling issue. I have resolved the cooling issue, however now ubuntu is in 640x480 and has detected my 22" tft as a CRT capable of 640x480... HELP! | 19:17 |
| dragon | !xrandr | jerkman | 19:17 |
| ubottu | jerkman: XRandR 1.2 is the new method of running dual screens in !X. Information/HowTo here: http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 | 19:17 |
| dragon | jerkman: Try xrandr | 19:18 |
| iceroot_ | starcannon: thx (i hate flash) :) | 19:18 |
| jerkman | xrandr says another tool is managing (nvidia-x settings thingy) | 19:18 |
| jerkman | however , that is where is still reports CRT-0 is my monitior | 19:18 |
| iceroot_ | starcannon: so i can be possible that a process is using 200% (dualcore) or 400% (quadcore)? | 19:19 |
| Brooklyn | As a newbie I better stick to ext3, ext4 does not sound nice to me :P Data loss and stuff :S | 19:19 |
| starcannon | iceroot, no, its only possible to use 100% of the total CPU power, each core has its own meter. You don't add them all up, or I don't anyway | 19:19 |
| bucky | iceroot_, only if you're in turbo mode | 19:20 |
| starcannon | iceroot if you had 4 cores, each running at 100%, then your entire cpu power would be at 100 percent, if you had 1 of the 4 cores running at 100% then you would be using 25% of your power | 19:20 |
| iceroot_ | starcannon: but top is showing 102% | 19:20 |
| jerkman | dragon: clearly ubuntu recognises the card, and has the drivers, i even have compiz enabled... but the resolution is V low... | 19:21 |
| bucky | i think intel has some kind of overdrive mode thingy now | 19:21 |
| starcannon | iceroot, top is evidentally just adding them all together, though I think it should consider 2 cores as one percentage when discussing it in that manner, how can you use more than you have of something? | 19:21 |
| j1mp492 | How do i get more thingys to synaptic? | 19:21 |
| Keiya | Does Ubuntu not handle moving between WAPs on a network very well, maybe? | 19:21 |
| genii | j1mp492: Repositories | 19:22 |
| === marcelus is now known as marcellus | ||
| iceroot_ | starcannon: so if i am using a dualcoresystem and one process is using two cores, top will show 200% | 19:22 |
| dragon | jerkman: We could start with xrandr's output. Please pastebin it. You can use the following: `xrandr | pastebinit`. Note that `pastebinit` must be installed. | 19:22 |
| starcannon | iceroot, from what you just now told me, yeah I guess thats what it would report. | 19:22 |
| bucky | j1mp492, go into System=>Administration=>Software Sources and check some more boxes | 19:22 |
| starcannon | iceroot, lemme look at mine, I'm curious now hehe | 19:22 |

| dragon | durt: stop what? | 19:28 |
| dragon | jerkman: you need to restart your X server, typically by closing all applications and then running `sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart` | 19:28 |
| EEE701 | It's not freezing. It loads the system up to some unknown point, then throws me in the command prompt type of thing and that's it. | 19:29 |

| EEE701 | Err, it goes to the terminal instead of the LiveCD GUI, yes. | 19:32 |
| Brandano | daevski: it's a full reboot? that small window, expecially on a laptop, might well be the bios | 19:32 |

| === io is now known as Guest25482 | ||
| starcannon | iceroot I think bucky is correct, after looking at your top screeny, it looks like some sort of rounding error, indeed up above it shows that CPU0 is running at 17.9% and CPU1 is running at .3% | 19:34 |
| Brandano | if anything was wrong in your hardware you'd get a beep code | 19:34 |
| daevski | Brandano, That's exactly what is sounds like, but why would it occur in ubuntu? | 19:34 |
| iceroot | daevski: its the speaker, blacklist the speaker | 19:34 |
| Brandano | single beep means everything fine | 19:34 |
| daevski | iceroot: how can I do that? that sounds perfect! | 19:34 |
| Brandano | daevski: it actually happens with X already running? | 19:34 |
| Jerkman_in_TTY | ircII is harsh... | 19:34 |

| starcannon | dragon and I found this talking about a unicode shortcut problem and possible bug: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=53249 | 19:46 |
| mostafa_ | erUSUL: do you know ns-allinone? this is just a question | 19:46 |
| dragon | Brandano: you could remove admin or others as appropriate. For a standard user, a group isn't needed though. | 19:46 |
| Brandano | dragon: thanks a bundle! I am surely missing from a few of those. Though I am in admin, now :) | 19:46 |
| erUSUL | mostafa_: if you are adding lines to the end of files why not use simply cat ? | 19:46 |
| dragon | starcannon: I'm reading it. Thanks! | 19:46 |
| jerkman | dragon, Brandano: still bad | 19:46 |
| mostafa_ | erUSUL: no no I want to add in between | 19:46 |
| erUSUL | mostafa_: cat file file_with_lines_to_add > newfile | 19:46 |
| Brandano | dragon: removing admin removes you from the sudoers. It's, hem, interesting :) | 19:46 |
| mostafa_ | erUSUL: not just the end or at the beginning | 19:47 |
| dragon | Brandano: sudoers is referring to the group admin instead of individual users, so yeah. | 19:47 |
| erUSUL | mostafa_: the use the diff command | 19:47 |

| mostafa_ | erUSUL: can you just a little help me with that | 19:47 |

| cafaro | hey i'm trying to get ubuntu working on my Toshiba laptop, after installation ubuntu offered me a restricted driver (for my ATI HD 3650), I installed it, but after reboot, all I get is a black screen, is there a way to solve this? | 19:53 |
| Brandano | jerkman: well, that's what I had to do with an old CRT of mine to get it to work. Btw, could it be that the card is detecting a TV out as a secondary monitor? | 19:53 |
| p1ckLe | Ubuntu won't install on my system at all. I try to boot from live cd, and it loads the desktop background and 2 grey bars at the top and bottom, but not the actual menus. Then it freezes. | 19:54 |
| jerkman | Brandano: it is detecting it as a CRT, but it isnt! as i said its a 22" tft | 19:54 |
| jerkman | Brandano: ah, no tv outs are connected it does have s-video | 19:54 |
| mostafa_ | erUSUL: when I type that command it adds those lines in the file to the destination file | 19:54 |

| p1ckLe | Ubuntu won't install on my system at all. I try to boot from live cd, and it loads the desktop background and 2 grey bars at the top and bottom, but not the actual menus. Then it freezes. | 19:56 |

Using xrandr it complained that the new resolution (2880x900) was too large, so I added a 'Display' subsection to the 'Screen' section with a virtual line of 'Virtual 2880 900', and now X refuses to start | 20:00 |

| Cornwall | Hi, all. I was manually grabbing some dependencies to update to karmic's notify-osd in karmic, and I broke dependencies. Now, when I run "sudo dpkg -f install", it wants to remove a LOT of necessary things, like xorg, nvidia drivers, etc. I just need to force remove those few dependecies | 20:02 |
| jacquesdupontd | erUSUL, ok anyway i have place on my hard disk and i'm only on linux os's so i will take a place to test that 8.10 and then i'll replace it with the 9.10 the 29 th of october if i see there's no difference with my actual 9.04 | 20:03 |
| losha | jacquesdupontd: don't confuse 8.10 with 9.10. 8.10 is older and seems to be quite stable. 9.10 will be brand new and a bit of a mess at first... | 20:03 |

| Brandano | though that's most likely my fault | 20:03 |
| erUSUL | jacquesdupontd: i do not see the point of going backwards to 8.10 if you already have 9.04... | 20:03 |
| mintygood | hey all | 20:03 |
| switchgirl1 | king next to locations there's an edit button | 20:03 |
| jacquesdupontd | losha, not confusing at all, i want a stable system with the more compatibilty and performances don't care about the long time support thing i can update | 20:03 |
| Koenigsegg_ | Anyone knows if the nickserv passwords in xchat are stored in unencoded format somewhere? | 20:03 |
| losha | Brandano: I've always thought 9.04 was a mess, but I try not to harp on it.... | 20:04 |
| Brandano | erUSUL: in my case it would be to get back my sound setup and my 32 bit mplayer | 20:04 |
| aleX-xx | King: or try http://www.worldtimezone.com/ | 20:04 |
| jacquesdupontd | erUSUL, you mean that you didn't heard about any problems in jaunty ? you must not check forums man. | 20:04 |

| erUSUL | jacquesdupontd: i use jaunty no problems | 20:04 |
| jerkman | ok, still got rubbish resolution... tft is being detected as CRT, suggestions please | 20:04 |

| emre | I've successfully joined to an ads with likewise but I can't connect to internet? | 20:15 |
| void_pointer | Jill I don't know what you are talking about. So I'll give you an example. If you run a http server (like apache) on your machine, you will see port 80, and maybe port 443 openedup | 20:15 |
| emre | What should I do? | 20:15 |
| void_pointer | Jill well that doesn't involve you opening any ports | 20:16 |
| void_pointer | King you might have to statically route between the NICs | 20:16 |
| MrElendig | livingroom: that's normal | 20:16 |

| void_pointer | Jill so forget about the idea of opening ports :) | 20:17 |
| pradeep | anyone know's the solution? | 20:17 |
| losha | King: it will only tunnel automatically if you've configured the 2-nic machine to do so. I think you're talking about internet connection sharing (ics). See below: | 20:17 |
| MrElendig | you can use nvidia-settigns to change the resolution, and save it to the config | 20:17 |

| losha | King: as I understand it, if you bridge nic1 & nic2, you can ssh directly from the client to anywhere on the internet... | 20:20 |
| void_pointer | King you will have to set up forwarding. I do it in an iptables script, but I'm sure there is an ubuntu, GUI way. If you want to know how to do it in iptables I'll pastebin my script | 20:20 |

| jemark | th0ger, how did you get it? | 20:50 |
| dariocaruso | this is the pc of my neighbour | 20:50 |
| th0ger | jemark: aptitude | 20:50 |
| p1ckLe | what's a reason that ubuntu would freeze during installation? | 20:50 |
| kraito | durt, nothing was running | 20:51 |
| trijntje | !who | dariocaruso | 20:51 |
| ubottu | dariocaruso: 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 :) | 20:51 |
| guntbert | Fenix|work: I suggest you do it from a live CD | 20:51 |
| frostburn | p1ckLe, bad cd would do that | 20:51 |
| trijntje | dariocaruso, so you dont know what happened? what have you tried to get the resolution working again? | 20:51 |
| frostburn | p1ckLe, or if installing to flash, it may take longer | 20:51 |
| Jill | how to enable (open) ports? | 20:52 |
| Fenix|work | guntbert, k... will do | 20:52 |
| pradeep | ubottu:suspend and sleep functions no longer work in my laptop how to fix it? | 20:52 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 20:52 |
| dariocaruso | @ trijntje this is not my pc. i have installed now ubuntu on another pc. with closed nvidia driver abilitated | 20:52 |
| p1ckLe | frostburn: i did the test cd for defects, and test memory, both passed with flying colors. | 20:52 |
| durt | kraito, try to do what you wish to, install or update again, then if you get the same error, remove the lock file. | 20:52 |
| slyder | sorry, can anyone help me? i'm noob in using ubuntu... i installed ubuntu 9.04.... i need driver for sis 671 chipset | 20:53 |
| trijntje | dariocaruso, you are confusing me. | 20:53 |
| frostburn | p1ckLe, let it sit for a while, i've 30meg isos take 40 minutes to install before, shrug | 20:53 |
| kraito | durt, how do i remove the lock file and what are the disadvantage | 20:53 |
| p1ckLe | frostburn: ill try that, ty | 20:53 |
| mikinanuq | Jill: you probably have a router to connect you to the internet. This router probably has a firewall integrated to it | 20:54 |
| dariocaruso | trijntje: so scuse me for my english.. i tell you that i'm secure that the monitor can use higher resolution then 640x480, because i use ever it. But now, with another pc i have this problem | 20:54 |
| Welshy-Rob | hi i want to turn my pc into a web server for 1 web page and i need help :) im new to web server stuff but i currently a confidant user of ubuntu 8.10 | 20:54 |
| kraito | durt, it said there was something else running. would that have something to do with the lock? | 20:54 |
| frostburn | p1ckLe, if it's a live cd, pop open a terminal and watch top and iostat to make sure stuff is being written | 20:55 |
| dariocaruso | trijntje: my xorg is this http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/286457/ | 20:55 |
| trijntje | dariocaruso, what country are you from? maybe there is a channel in your language where you can get help | 20:55 |
| durt | kraito, are you absolutely sure nothing is running?....yes that's the point of the lock file so two things can't update/install at the same time. | 20:55 |
| p1ckLe | frostburn: it freezes before i can do anything. | 20:55 |
| p1ckLe | frostburn: i cant even move the mouse. | 20:55 |
| p1ckLe | frostburn: or open the cd drive.. everything freezes. | 20:55 |
| shawn_ | Hmm Im using the sleep(int) function from the GASP module but its only letting me use ints.. meaning no decimals is there any way to get around this and use decimals? | 20:56 |
| frostburn | p1ckLe, oh... hmm,, how much ram does the box have? | 20:56 |
| kraito | durt, i would know were to look but were you told me too already | 20:56 |
| p1ckLe | only 128. | 20:56 |
| p1ckLe | its a p3 900mhz 128mb | 20:56 |
| dariocaruso | trijntje: scuse me but in italian channel i often help other, but now i don't find anyone that help me | 20:56 |
| wyatt | holas.... | 20:57 |
| frostburn | p1ckLe, yeah, i've had installs fail at 256mb, you might need to find an alternative means of installation... like popping the hdd into a device with more ram if possible then moving it back out again | 20:57 |
| wyatt | alguien esta programando en gambas??? | 20:57 |
| kraito | durt, wait one i think it's working now | 20:57 |
| durt | kraito, if there was update running in the background be aware that the archives can be very slow due to the karmic beta release. | 20:58 |
| th0ger | Hi, could someone please try if they can see flash on this page: http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/e90b813d#/e90b813d/1 (in firefox) It says my flash version is too old. I have the newest flash player (adobe-flashplugin 10.0.32.18-1jaunty1) installed with apt-get. about:plugins shows the libflashplayer.so (10.0 r32). | 20:58 |
| trijntje | dariocaruso, I see. What have you tried so far to get the resolution working? | 20:59 |
| subito | hi, whenever i want to launch Qsynth with alsa as an audio driver i get "failed to create the audio driver" and "failed to open the /dev/audio audio device"; i can only launch using jack as an audio driver | 20:59 |
| kraito | durt, yes it's working now thanks for the help. this community is really as good as they say. | 20:59 |
| durt | np | 20:59 |
| p1ckLe | frostburn: ahhh.. Makes sense. I only have a laptop available, is there a way to hook a hdd (if its an internal) to the laptop? or is that not possible? | 20:59 |

| xtsuname | forceflow, not mythTV? | 21:09 |
| forceflow | that's a bit too full-blown for what I wanted to do with it | 21:09 |

| trijntje | mezquitale, I think a public place is a bad location to test bittorrent programs | 21:11 |

| mezquitale | trijntje, i already tried it at home, I can't figure out why it wont work at home | 21:11 |

| f00f | hey guys i had network-manager set up with ubuntu 9 but i needed iptables to run which ended up in a conflict. Now i'm trying to set up the /etc/network/interfaces with two static ip's and i'm having problems accessing the internet... Not i have 2 interfaces eth0 which is an internal LAN(having a 192.168 etc...) and eth1 which will have the inet and external static ip (you kno regular class c)... Can anyone help me in getting this | 21:12 |
| trijntje | Sala_: I understand that, I think the problem is that win7 is not supported | 21:13 |
| Sala_ | mikinanuq, as its wubi, its virtual disk not real partition, making sample menu.lst useless. Fount one really old sample menu.lst but its not working. Anyone got working 9.10 wubi menu.lst? | 21:13 |
| TheVenerableZ | cp: did you try putting the blah in single quotes? | 21:13 |
| TheVenerableZ | cq: do you know which model that is? | 21:13 |
| Sala_ | trijntje i dont see any fundamental shifts from vista + i ran it on vista compactability mode. cant i just copy menu.lst? | 21:13 |
| TheVenerableZ | sorry, soreau: do you know which model that is? | 21:13 |
| trijntje | mezquitale, I understand that, I'm not sure what is causing your problems | 21:14 |
| Sala_ | if i cloud get 9.10 wubi menu.lst config file i cloud maybe boot to ubuntu. its worth a try heh? | 21:14 |
| trijntje | Sala_, I think that what wubi does has little to do with vista compatibilty mode | 21:14 |
| mezquitale | trijntje, i changed the port to use a random port, restarted the client and voila! I am downloading!!! I'm going to check at home and see if I get the same result | 21:14 |
| cq | TheVenerableZ: same problem: cmd="echo 'cert $clientname.cert' >> $tmpdir/config/$clientname.ovpn" | 21:15 |
| mikinanuq | f00f: you may need to look into route tables to get it right | 21:15 |
| trijntje | mezquitale, nice. Maybe it was a tracker problem | 21:15 |
| einstein1969 | i have a problem with gparted and the partition table. I speek a very little english. help me. | 21:15 |
| cq | foof: start with route -an and see if your routes are right for the two IPs ... | 21:15 |
| mikinanuq | f00f: so your route of last resort (0.0.0.0) points to your external card | 21:16 |

| ikonia | jhattara: I've used mysql-admin | 21:28 |
| vox | ikonia: i didnt say it was a standard form of raid. learn to read. | 21:28 |
| mgv1 | shouldnt i hear something when dialing ekiga conference room? | 21:28 |
| XGenster | kewlo, thanks for the help ikonia | 21:29 |
| elops | what is port 50,51 n 631 used for? | 21:29 |

| dan1 | printers worked fine until about a week ago, on one black prints as green, are there driver problems anyone knows about, ubuntu jaunty | 21:30 |
| dabukalam | ikonia: learn your facts before preaching. JBOD is a form of raid. It just means all the disks grouped together. | 21:30 |
| ikonia | dabukalam: "just a bunch of disks" | 21:30 |
| ikonia | dabukalam: it's not raid | 21:30 |
| FFEMTcJ | how can i install java to where firefox recognizes it? I installed sun-java6-jre but that didnt work | 21:30 |
| mgv1 | there is any chat that handle ekiga problems? | 21:30 |
| jhattara | ikonia, can you do every imaginable management task easily with mysql-admin? and it works well? | 21:31 |

| bucky | mgv1, there are 5 users in #ekiga | 21:31 |
| ikonia | jhattara: I quite like it to be honest, it's been replaced with mysql administrator, which seems very good, but I've not used it as much as mysql-admin | 21:31 |
| dabukalam | ikonia: fine, i don't see how this is worth arguing over | 21:32 |
| ikonia | dabukalam: that's why I'm not arguing | 21:32 |

| dan1 | can anyone tell me why I can't burn 64studio or ubuntu studio I tried cd's and dvd's | 21:32 |
| ikonia | dan1: bad images, but if you can't burn either, most likley a software or hardware problem | 21:33 |
| mgv1 | bucky, really? still it is open source - what do you suggest? | 21:33 |
| mgv1 | bucky, ohh i thought you saying 5 on the network | 21:33 |
| dan1 | don't think it's a software or hardware problem as I tried on 2 different systems | 21:33 |
| ikonia | dan1: then most likley bad image downloads | 21:34 |
| ikonia | dan1: or bad media | 21:34 |
| jedi06 | how come i lost the sound when it loads up | 21:34 |
| dan1 | could I have had 4 bad image downloads? 2 on each machine? | 21:34 |
| ikonia | dan1: your isp is corrupting them ? | 21:34 |
| jerkman | when i had nvidia-settings installed, its max res was 1024x768, and grandr was 1680x10509(proper). I uninstalled nvidia-settins and now grandr only goes up to 1024x768 | 21:34 |
| robsonpeixoto | hi | 21:34 |
| Keiya | Hopefully I can get sugar working now... | 21:34 |
| dan1 | not sure what you mean by isp corrupting | 21:35 |
| ikonia | dan1: the server you get them from is bad ? | 21:35 |
| robsonpeixoto | i upgraded tu Ubuntu 9.10 and GDM doesn't work. What can i do ? | 21:35 |
| guntbert | dan1: please clarify: were you unable to start the burning? to complete the burning? to use a burnt cd? | 21:35 |
| bucky | mgv1, /join #ekiga | 21:35 |
| dan1 | god knows, I'm not savy enough to know how to find out | 21:35 |
| ikonia | dan1: your ISP may have hardware that is damaging the image, it's rare, but if two machines and 4 images aren't working, got to look for common factos | 21:35 |

| Keiya | I'm not running Karmic! | 21:39 |

| j0nr | my machine is well dodgey | 21:40 |
| checkthebean | ok I am a newb that is going to ask a stupid question and I need an detailed answer without getting made fun uf | 21:41 |
| checkthebean | of | 21:41 |
| th0ger | PMantis: try apt-cache search sysv for others | 21:41 |
| ikonia | checkthebean: as long as it's ubuntu related, no-one will make fun of you | 21:41 |
| ikonia | checkthebean: eveyone starts somewhere | 21:41 |
| guntbert | j0nr: slow down please - lets start with *one* issue - what about you browser? I didn't understand quite | 21:41 |
| checkthebean | I need to download the 2.6.30 kernel for ubuntu, and I went to mirrors.kernel.org and I just cannot find it, so can someone please help me | 21:42 |
| kraito | quick question to remove a external hhd do i have to go through a safety remove process like in windows or do i just remove it? | 21:42 |
| trism | kraito: unmount it first, to make sure all the files you copied over are written out | 21:42 |
| ikonia | checkthebean: custom kernel compiles are not supported, kernel.org has all the vanilla kernels, but not one for ubuntu | 21:42 |
| j0nr | guntbert: sorry, bit flustered.... well it seems to be related to the fact i cannot get apt-get update to complete. this is on a fresh install of a oldish 9.04 cd | 21:42 |
| ikonia | checkthebean: if you are a new user you should also not be compiling kernels, why do you need that specific kernel | 21:42 |
| AlDoug | kraito: in your file browser, you should be able to click the unmount button | 21:42 |
| kraito | trism: and then just remove correct | 21:42 |
| trism | kraito: correct | 21:43 |
| mikinanuq | einstein1969: I think fdisks can fix that.. hold a sec | 21:43 |
| kraito | trism: ubuntu is awsome | 21:43 |
| j0nr | guntbert: the browser may be related, as it seems to be network related, i can get google and perform a search but then go no further. i.e. if i click on a link it wont open. | 21:43 |
| guntbert | j0nr: I suppose you could have a networking issue - thats why I asked about the browser | 21:43 |
| guntbert | ah | 21:43 |
| Nomadluap | anyone here know anything about Banshee? | 21:44 |
| checkthebean | because I am installing ubuntu on my macpro and the only way that I can get it to recognize my ethernet card is with the fix included in kernel 2.6.30. I got it to work with Fedora, but I really do not like fedora | 21:44 |
| kraito | thanks guys, now i know i can defiantly count on the ubuntu community | 21:44 |
| knowone | hi i am to new with ubuntu and was wondering if thear is an app i need to download to get my cd games to load i spent all yesterday looking. the game i am trying to get to load is world of warcraft i am sure that some one els had to have ran into this problm as well. and i am sorry i am sorry i am such a nube but i hope it is as simple as me not having an app. needed to run the CD | 21:44 |
| ashtoash | hi | 21:44 |
| ikonia | checkthebean: I'd advise hanging on until ubuntu 9.10 is released in 24 days | 21:44 |
| checkthebean | what about trying the beta? | 21:44 |
| ikonia | checkthebean: that has a later kernel that should work and you won't have to do anything | 21:44 |
| Nomadluap | knowone: do you have WINE yet? | 21:44 |
| checkthebean | I love adventure | 21:44 |
| Geoffrey2 | hey there, can someone here help me get a laptop with xubuntu on it connected to my wireless router? | 21:44 |

| demon_ | I have many *.zip files in many directories how can I unzip them all and put them in 1 folder ... | 22:07 |
| guntbert | j0nr: ok, so the proxy idea is out too... - try sudo iptables -L (there should be nearly nothing except "acccept") | 22:07 |

| ubottu | powerjuce: Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at http://keytouch.sourceforge.net - See !Keyboard for changing layouts | 22:08 |
| soreau | demon_: you could use a bit of bash/scripting magic | 22:08 |
| soreau | demon_: If you ask how to do that in #bash, they should give you a one-liner to do it | 22:08 |
| arcsky | how can i list all packages i installed with apt-get ? | 22:08 |
| demon_ | soreau k ill do that | 22:08 |

| seth | Can anyone tell me how I can add things under the "Places" menubar at the top of Ubuntu's screen? I want it to, for example, have 'Public' in addition to 'Documents' &c. | 22:09 |
| [Green] | приветы | 22:09 |
| ActionParsnip | arcsky: you can view ALL apps you have currently installed with: dpkg -l | less | 22:09 |
| dragon | what's the simplest way of setting the default screen resolution? I want my HDMI and LVDS to stay at 1280x800, but it keeps resets to 1440x900 with every reboot. | 22:09 |

| Beardbar | I have a webserver i setup with ubuntu server, awsome, but when i ftp in to a directory that contains 8k files i can only see 1998 fies, I remember once changing a configuration so that all files could be seen, anyone know what im talking about? | 22:10 |
| j0nr | meez: it connects 'a bit' google home page works, can perform a search and get result, but nothing else | 22:10 |
| dragon | seth: create a bookmark and it should show up there. | 22:10 |
| ActionParsnip | guntbert: but apt-get is command line based so will be in the history ;) | 22:10 |
| dragon | !pm | seth | 22:10 |

| Berzerker | ActionParsnip, I find apt-get is so much easier to use than the add/remove programs app | 22:10 |
| seidos | Beardbar: never came across that problem. don't use ftp | 22:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Berzerker: +1 dude | 22:11 |
| j0nr | guntbert: not sure what to expect in iptables but there doesnt seem to be anything there accept headings | 22:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Berzerker: apt-cache search to find apps too | 22:11 |
| guntbert | ActionParsnip: yes, but the older commands will "fall out" as newer come in | 22:11 |
| PMantis | sysv commands aren't giving me what I want. I'm adding init.d scripts, carefully adjusting "Provides" and "Required-Start". Now, what command reads all of these and rearranges all the rc?.d files to start in the right order? | 22:11 |
| Berzerker | ActionParsnip, yeah | 22:11 |
| seth | !pm dragon How do I 'add a bookmark' for my Public directory? | 22:11 |

| papito | let me check | 22:12 |
| eNons3nse | Hey guys. I'm trying to install Ubuntu on an 80gb hard drive in my laptop, along side Vista. It's not letting me resize my windows partition smaller than 33gb. Why is this? I won't be using windows very often so I'd like it more around 10gb. | 22:12 |
| Keiya_ | How do I make it so I can click in windows again!? | 22:12 |
| dragon | eNons3nse: that's because vista is occupying that much space. | 22:13 |
| powerjuce | ActionParsnip, thanks that was perfect! | 22:13 |
| ActionParsnip | papito: can you use http://pastebin.com to provide the output of: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade | 22:13 |
| guntbert | j0nr: so its no local firewall either - I'm at the end of my ideas - please ask the channel again - sorry | 22:13 |
| ronnie1981 | ActionParsnip here is the action you ask for earlier http://pastebin.com/d124e9194 sorry for the delay pastebin was being very slow for me | 22:13 |
| seth | Can anyone tell me how I can add things under the "Places" menubar at the top of Ubuntu's screen? I want it to, for example, have 'Public' in addition to 'Documents' &c. I was told to 'bookmark' my Public folder. How do I do this? | 22:13 |
| papito | ActionParsnip , let me do oit | 22:13 |
| j0nr | guntbert: ok thanks :) | 22:14 |
| eNons3nse | dragon: Vista is taking up 33GB? Wat? It's almost a fresh install. | 22:14 |

| guntbert | j0nr: and Good luck :-) | 22:14 |
| ActionParsnip | eNons3nse: minimum install is 8Gb | 22:14 |
| Berzerker | eNons3nse, vista requires fresh install + 25GB | 22:14 |
| papito | its upgrading.. i think it will take some time.. | 22:14 |
| rp2 | hi world | 22:15 |
| ActionParsnip | eNons3nse: just for the desktop, then load 3 Gb for office and you are well on your way | 22:15 |
| rp2 | any experts on using multiple monitors around? | 22:15 |
| Keiya_ | WHAT THE HELL WHY CAN'T I CLICK ANYTHING!? | 22:15 |
| guntbert | PMantis: look at update-rc | 22:15 |

| Keiya_ | Even logging out of gnome and logging back in didn't fix it!? | 22:15 |

| * Keiya_ grumps | 22:16 | |

| PMantis | guntbert: update-rc only allow me to tell the scripts what number to S and K at. I want the script I used a few months ago that reads all the init scripts and re-orders and adjusts the symlinks for me to account for dependencies that I create. | 22:17 |
| Berzerker | seth, open a folder and drag the folder to the sidebar | 22:17 |

| codeloco2 | I'm currently runing jaunty, and it was updated from 8.10 and so on until 7.04. Now I want to update to karmic, but from a fresh install. How is the best way to do that preserving my /home, since all the tree is over the same partition? | 22:18 |
| guntbert | PMantis: now I know what you mean - but my brain fails too - sorry | 22:18 |
| ikonia | codeloco2: back up /home somewhere else | 22:18 |
| Keiya_ | Damnit | 22:19 |
| Keiya_ | Restarting GDM didn't fix it, even!? | 22:19 |
| carresmd | never mind, looks like it's responsive again | 22:19 |
| guntbert | carresmd: try http://pgp.mit.edu/ | 22:19 |
| PMantis | guntbert: Yeah, it ticks me off. I used it to build a client system, and I can't remember what I did. I had to search like crazy to find it back then, too. I even ssh'd in and looked at history on my customer's machine - too long ago. gone. :( | 22:19 |

| Keiya_ | Windows are being drawn fine | 22:19 |

| carresmd | guntbert: Thanks :) | 22:20 |
| guntbert | carresmd: you are welcome :-) | 22:20 |
| Keiya_ | guntbert: just because you're a volunteer doesn't mean you should be able to get away with not reading what the problem is >_> | 22:20 |
| codeloco2 | ikonia: hmm good. maybe using tar+gz, and after restore it. but, that way, when i restore it, the file's permissions will be there? | 22:20 |
| ikonia | codeloco2: tar can preserve permissions | 22:21 |

| Berzerker | mikinanuq, command went through, key does nothing | 22:29 |
| mikinanuq | Berzerker: I think the default keybinding is f2 so you may want to try that to see if the default is still in place | 22:29 |
| Fishscene | silentnights: Might want to try to beta channel. If it's open. I can't remember the name of the channel though. | 22:29 |

| mikinanuq | Berzerker: it might not be starting up.. try it from a command prompt to see if it even starts up | 22:31 |

| Berzerker | mikinanuq, I have like 8 bash processes running, is that normal? | 22:33 |

| daveycakes | could someone please help me with my mobile broadband on ubuntu? i've posted the question here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1283567 | 22:35 |
| mikinanuq | Berzerker: so it's still running, , sudo kill -9 31891 that should kill it | 22:35 |
| bucky | daveycakes, you forgot to use sudo... hence it could not write to /opt | 22:36 |
| Berzerker | got another resolut as process 1045 | 22:36 |
| daveycakes | ok | 22:36 |
| mikinanuq | Berzerker: oh maybe that was the grep that it saw | 22:36 |
| Berzerker | mikinanuq, tried to kill it again, propped up as proces 1566 | 22:36 |
| daveycakes | bucky: but i just right clicked the install.sh and said run from terminal | 22:36 |
| daveycakes | how could i do it with sudo? | 22:36 |
| Berzerker | mikinanuq, I think you had the wrong number.. | 22:36 |
| kraito | how do i get the cool theme for the cube | 22:37 |
| bucky | daveycakes, click on Applications=>Accessories=>Terminal and sudo ./install.sh if it complains you'll have to make it executable with chmod +x install.sh | 22:38 |
| Zodling | anyone know mutch about ubuntu-server acting as an iscsi target? | 22:38 |
| mikinanuq | Berzerker: try ps a|grep tilda .. you should see 2 lines, 1 is the tilda process the other is the grep tilda | 22:38 |
| bucky | daveycakes, i hope you remember your password | 22:38 |
| kraito | i guess you call them skidome, were can i find this? | 22:38 |
| mikinanuq | Berzerker: kill -9 to the process number | 22:39 |
| daveycakes | bucky: sure do | 22:39 |
| joshua__ | aww man i burnt my wiener... | 22:39 |
| daveycakes | bucky: it says command not found though | 22:39 |
| pitput | quick question- why doesn't ubuntu need to reboot after installing updates like Windows? | 22:39 |
| bucky | daveycakes, sudo not found? | 22:39 |
| joshua__ | pitput, sometimes it does require a restart | 22:39 |
| Berzerker | mikinanuq, when I do that command, every time I do it, the number goes up, I think that's like an uptime monitor or something | 22:39 |
| bucky | daveycakes, which distro are you using? | 22:40 |
| pitput | josh__, 85% of the time no need to reboot. do you know why? | 22:40 |
| daveycakes | bucky: it said sudo: ./install.sh: command not found | 22:40 |
| daveycakes | erm, does that mean ubuntu version? | 22:40 |
| daveycakes | 9.04 desktop | 22:40 |
| mikinanuq | Berzerker: nah, that should be fine. If you're only seeing one line then tilda is not running | 22:40 |
| Berzerker | mikinanuq, ok | 22:40 |
| joshua__ | pitput, because it isn't windows? | 22:40 |
| mikinanuq | Berzerker: try alt+f2 tilda again | 22:40 |
| bucky | daveycakes, type in pwd .. which working directory are you in and do you need to cd Desktop ? | 22:41 |
| Berzerker | mikinanuq, should I have like 8 bash processes running? | 22:41 |
| daveycakes | bucky: can we talk in pvt window? | 22:41 |
| mikinanuq | Berzerker: then run the ps a|grep tilda and you should see two lines now, if not it's crashing | 22:41 |
| bucky | daveycakes, no | 22:41 |
| daveycakes | lol | 22:41 |
| bucky | daveycakes, if you can't figure out the command line then you need to take dos 101 | 22:41 |
| Berzerker | mikinanuq, only see 1 line | 22:42 |
| daveycakes | i've forgotten how to cd to directories | 22:42 |
| mikinanuq | Berzerker: not sure... I have 5 right now | 22:42 |
| bucky | daveycakes, cd Desktop is too hard? | 22:42 |

| smc | Ok since nobody seems to able to answer my language question hows this, I installed kubuntu and Ubuntu, with Kubuntu I can double click on a ttf file and then install a font, with ubuntu I can't, which package am I'm I missing? | 22:45 |
| mgv1 | bucky, i dont hear nothing in ekiga | 22:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Berzerker: still, gksudo for gui apps | 22:45 |

| ActionParsnip | Berzerker: then rerun tilda | 22:46 |
| bucky | daveycakes, it was probably downloaded to Desktop ..that's why it has a little icon for you to click on, cd Desktop then ls to see if it's there | 22:46 |
| ugliefrog | desktop cd the same as live cd? | 22:46 |
| mgv1 | bucky, i also think that the microphone of the computer isnt working | 22:46 |

| Berzerker | renaming what profile | 22:47 |
| mikinanuq | Berzerker: well you probably don't want to run it under sudo or gksudo.. that will change the settings for the root user. just plain tilda | 22:47 |

| aina | cause if after then yes : im using headphones to listen to music and when it echoes the login screen, after logging in : i have the little music in the background | 22:58 |
| bucky | daveycakes, udevcontrol has been replaced by udevadm | 22:59 |

| bucky | daveycakes, run an rpm based distro | 23:10 |
| losha | Samus_Aran: Hmm. Tricky. I suppose you could install a version from the repository so that the package manager thinks you have java installed, and then overwrite it by installing a latest version from sun.com. But it's definitely a hack to do so... | 23:10 |
| troublescoot | what's the latest supported version of php? | 23:11 |
| daveycakes | i have no idea what you just said. please could you tell me what to do in real simple terms | 23:11 |
| troublescoot | on ubuntu, i mean | 23:11 |
| bucky | daveycakes, it's prolly wanting to install an rpm from the internet somewhere... you can apt-get install rpm but i doubt if it will work.. might be worth a try tho' | 23:11 |

| arleslie | Can someone tell me how to dump the USB device history or drivers? | 23:13 |

| losha | agliodbs: ActionParsnip: well, it *is* a configuration tool. If you install it, then misconfigure your system in some way, then remove it, it seems a lot to expect that it would automatically revert your config to it's previous state (though if *I* were writing a config tool, I think a 'revert' button would be a priority feature...).

| dartagnan_ | if i delete them in my booting meny are they deleted from my system, no i figure | 23:26 |
| nidelius | it's so wierd that drivers that worked perfect in an older kernel just stops working when you upgrade.. it's one of the few flaws with linux | 23:26 |
| dartagnan_ | menu* | 23:26 |
| fccf | daveycakes: what are you installing? | 23:26 |
| magikid | Anyone have any experience with portknocking? | 23:26 |
| losha | agliodbs: dunno what to tell you. If it worked once, in theory it's fixable, though it may take a long time to find & fix... | 23:27 |
| _Tristan | ActionParsnip: forgot to mention that I've followed every tutorial in the universe | 23:27 |
| daveycakes | fccf: 3 mobile broadband dongle driver | 23:27 |
| nidelius | my sound just stopped working when I upgraded 9.04 to the latest kernel | 23:27 |
| ActionParsnip | shaffy: if you have the option. ALWAYS MD5 check ISO and IMG files | 23:27 |
| daveycakes | fccf: i've gone through so much crap to sort it, still not working | 23:27 |
| agliodbs | losha: yeah | 23:27 |
| Griktar | How do you md5 check? | 23:27 |
| Griktar | is there a command? | 23:27 |
| sebsebseb | !md5 | Griktar | 23:27 |
| ubottu | Griktar: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 23:27 |
| Griktar | Thanks | 23:27 |
| agliodbs | losha: overall, I've been very uninpressed by ebox, and think that Ubuntu chose the wrong tool ... | 23:27 |
| sebsebseb | Griktar: np also it's much easier to md5sum on Linu than it is on Windows | 23:28 |
| fccf | daveycakes: I wouldn't expect a rpm to work ... there is an easier way | 23:28 |
| losha | _Tristan: :-). 9.04 is *notorious* for hard-to-fix sound problems. Downgrade to 8.04. $20 please... | 23:28 |
| daveycakes | fccf: haha really? can i pvt with you to sort it? | 23:28 |
| sebsebseb | Griktar: Linux above | 23:28 |
| unkmar | mgv1: does the local echo test work? | 23:28 |
| fccf | !pm | daveycakes | 23:28 |
| ubottu | daveycakes: 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. | 23:28 |
| _Tristan | losha: nosir | 23:28 |
| losha | agliodbs: my impression is that ebox isn't used much. Perhaps this is why... | 23:28 |
| daveycakes | oh i see | 23:28 |
| einstein1969 | i have problem with gparted, there is a program for backup/modify/check/restore EBR? thanks | 23:28 |
| agliodbs | losha: yeah | 23:28 |
| daveycakes | fccf: ok so please help? | 23:28 |
| daveycakes | im lost at this point | 23:28 |
| sebsebseb | losha: well I guess 8.04 has been around for long enough now, for there to be quite a lot of people that know how to fix any pulseaudio issues in it | 23:29 |
| agliodbs | losha: unfortunately, someone here recommended it to me | 23:29 |
| losha | _Tristan: dang. Shoulda got the money upfront... | 23:29 |
| _Tristan | you can still get it if you fix my problem ;) | 23:29 |
| einstein1969 | :( | 23:29 |
| losha | sebsebseb: I think that's an advantage of an LTS release anyway. Pretty much any problem you might encounter has been seen & fixed... | 23:29 |
| einstein1969 | bye bye | 23:30 |
| losha | _Tristan: well, I wasn't kidding. Downgrading to 8.04 will probably fix most of your issues. Consider that a freebie... | 23:31 |
| _Tristan | see, but I like 9.04 a lot. | 23:31 |
| sebsebseb | _Tristan: Somtimes an older reason of Ubuntu is actsauly better for someone, because of the hardware they have for example | 23:31 |
| sebsebseb | _Tristan: 9.10 is out on October 29th :) | 23:31 |
| _Tristan | sebsebseb: I got it working before | 23:31 |
| * sebsebseb wonders what issues that will fix other than the common 9.04 Intel issue | 23:31 | |
| losha | _Tristan: get used to the quiet then.... | 23:32 |
| _Tristan | for some reason I sudo apt-get remove'd pulseaudio | 23:32 |
| _Tristan | and now I can't remember how I made it work before | 23:32 |
| Griktar | I need that intel issue fixed because I have it now its terrible. | 23:32 |
| _Tristan | hey, this channel isn't logged is it? | 23:32 |
| sebsebseb | _Tristan: yes it is | 23:32 |
| _Tristan | sebsebseb: I don't suppose I could search the logs? | 23:32 |
| sebsebseb | !logs | _Tristan | 23:32 |
| shaffy | ActionParsnip: the IMG passed the md5sum | 23:32 |
| ubottu | _Tristan: Official channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ - For LoCo channels, http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/ | 23:32 |
| unkmar | _Tristan: yes you can. | 23:32 |
| _Tristan | some guy told me how to fix it maybe a month ago... | 23:33 |
| dartagnan_ | how come I cant simply write vista chainloader as 0 for default booting???? | 23:33 |
| _Tristan | woo | 23:33 |
| dartagnan_ | I dont see the point with grub | 23:33 |
| bucky | daveycakes, if that doesn't work just do this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mobile%20Broadband%20Internet%20USB%20Adapters | 23:33 |
| sebsebseb | _Tristan: it seems that they can't easilley be searched, and you might have your own IRC client log for that | 23:33 |
| dartagnan_ | when i had ubuntu into windows xp windows was the first to boot by default | 23:33 |
| unkmar | I guess I will stick to turning the physical knob on my speakers for muting when a call comes in. :( | 23:33 |
| losha | _Tristan: if you find it, come back and tell us. It comes up fairly often... | 23:33 |
| _Tristan | sebsebseb: tried that | 23:33 |
| dartagnan_ | thats not logical | 23:34 |
| sebsebseb | dartagnan_: the point of Grub is to allow another OS to boot up as well as Ubuntu, or even memtest or recovery mode when it comes to Ubuntu | 23:34 |
| dartagnan_ | how could grub be so complicated for nothing | 23:34 |
| unkmar | losha: he probably removed pulseaudio and started esd or something like that. | 23:34 |
| dartagnan_ | I know | 23:34 |
| lobonegro_rlopez | Hello, I have a kinda big problem but this is the first time I've used IRC for help | 23:34 |
| sebsebseb | dartagnan_: I agree though it can be a bit complacted when it goes wrong | 23:34 |
| fifoo | hi! Is there any french people here? | 23:34 |
| dartagnan_ | but why cant I choose vista as default for booting ? | 23:35 |
| sebsebseb | !fr | fifoo | 23:35 |
| ubottu | fifoo: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr | 23:35 |
| sebsebseb | dartagnan_: that's easy enough to change | 23:35 |
| dartagnan_ | its not logical | 23:35 |
| sebsebseb | dartagnan_: ,but why would you want Vista to be the default boot? | 23:35 |
| fifoo | ok thank you! | 23:35 |
| sebsebseb | fifoo: np | 23:35 |
| * losha If it's important enough to log, you'd think it'd be important enough to make it searchable.... | 23:35 | |
| dartagnan_ | because I have kids on the pc, would be simpler this way | 23:35 |
| _Tristan | anybody know where pidgin's log files are kept? | 23:36 |
| sebsebseb | dartagnan_: kids can use Ubuntu as well, and there is a lot of educational software and such for them in the repo. Ok you want to change things so Vista is default boot. open the terminal and then gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 23:36 |
| === chaky_ is now known as chaky | ||
| unkmar | dartagnan_: it is easy enough to make Vista the default boot. Just change /boot/grub/menu.lst | 23:36 |
| sebsebseb | dartagnan_: put the Vista entry before the Ubuntu stuff, and it should boot up by default | 23:37 |
| Flannel | sebsebseb: This is support, please don't lecture about personal choice. | 23:37 |
| dartagnan_ | I cange the + 1 of vista for 0??? | 23:37 |
| ActionParsnip | _Tristan: ~/.purple/logs | 23:37 |
| sebsebseb | Flannel: whoops my bad, and ok no problem | 23:37 |
| ikonia | dartagnan_: can you see the line "Default" in /boot/grub/menu.lst ? | 23:37 |
| dartagnan_ | nope it wont work | 23:37 |
| dartagnan_ | stop to laugh at me | 23:37 |
| _Tristan | oh, pidgin DID log it. | 23:38 |
| shaffy | ActionParsnip: anymore ideas on creating a bootable cd/dvd from the IMG file? | 23:38 |
| lobonegro_rlopez | For the past month, Nautilus has been saying that my hard drive has less and less available space, but besides the usual updates I haven't downloaded anything big. | 23:38 |
| unkmar | dartagnan_: usually one of the first few lines. | 23:38 |
| dartagnan_ | where the one in charge? you all laughing at me, where are you, in ottawa? | 23:38 |
| ikonia | dartagnan_: stop - no-one is laughing at you | 23:38 |
| ActionParsnip | shaffy: not sure, thats all i got | 23:38 |
| losha | sebsebseb: in the doghouse again... | 23:38 |
| ikonia | dartagnan_: can you see the line "default" in /boot/grub/menu.lst | 23:38 |
| dartagnan_ | nope | 23:38 |
| ikonia | dartagnan_: can you pastebin /boot/grub/menu.lst please ? | 23:39 |
| ActionParsnip | shaffy: remember toALWAYS MD5 check before using ISO and IMG files | 23:39 |
| losha | _Tristan: tell us... | 23:39 |
| _Tristan | whoever wanted to know | 23:39 |
| dartagnan_ | oh | 23:39 |
| lobonegro_rlopez | Now it says there are 0 bytes free after deleting several gb, and now the panels have reverted back to default | 23:39 |
| unkmar | dartagnan_: line 14 for me. Might be a little sooner or later than that. | 23:39 |
| mgv1 | unkmar, the echo test? no | 23:39 |
| _Tristan | dell studio xps 15 + options snd-hda-intel model=dell-m6 = profit | 23:39 |
| ActionParsnip | lobonegro_rlopez: sudo apt-get clean | 23:39 |
| shaffy | ActionParsnip: i can extract the entire IMG to a folder using poweriso -- but i don't know how to make the contents "bootable" when i burn it to a dvd | 23:39 |
| dartagnan_ | could I simply set default as +1 ???? | 23:39 |
| ikonia | dartagnan_: no | 23:39 |
| ActionParsnip | shaffy: that wont work | 23:39 |
| ikonia | dartagnan_: you need to count the menu items (just titles) until you get to vista, start at 0 and then count to your vista entry, that is the number you want | 23:40 |
| ikonia | dartagnan_: eg: if vista is the 4th title in the list, you want to set it to 3 | 23:40 |
| ActionParsnip | shaffy: do you have a USB stick you can boot from, its faster than CD and a hell of a lot more reliable | 23:40 |
| losha | shaffy: making bootable dvds was complicated last time I looked. Where did your IMG file come from? | 23:41 |
| aj_444 | I'm trying to install opera but it won't let me. help? | 23:41 |
| ActionParsnip | shaffy: burning a CD IMG to a DVD can get messy | 23:41 |
| ActionParsnip | !opera | aj_444 | 23:41 |
| ubottu | aj_444: Opera is an advanced, fast and free (as in beer) web browser. It is packaged for easy installation into Ubuntu. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OperaBrowser | 23:41 |
| shaffy | ActionParsnip: that's just the problem -- i dont have a USB :((( | 23:42 |
| shaffy | losha: i dled it from the ubuntu site -- it's the ubuntu 9.04 netbook remix IMG | 23:42 |
| ActionParsnip | shaffy: or sd card? | 23:42 |
| dartagnan_ | I want vista as 0 deafult booter | 23:42 |
| vge | sorry about my french, but k3b will burn image to dvd just fine | 23:42 |
| lobonegro_rlopez | that didn't work | 23:43 |
| dartagnan_ | not 3 | 23:43 |
| ikonia | dartagnan_: the number doesn't matter | 23:43 |
| ikonia | dartagnan_: it's just a menu list identifier | 23:43 |
| shaffy | ActionParsnip: will my computer boot from an SD card? | 23:43 |
| ikonia | dartagnan_: change the number to the menu list number of vista, eg: 4th entry, = change it to 3 | 23:43 |
| lobonegro_rlopez | besides, I've used computer janitor and ubuntu tweaks package cleaning functions and still no room | 23:43 |
| dartagnan_ | will wait to know more about it | 23:43 |
| ikonia | dartagnan_: pardon ? | 23:44 |
| ActionParsnip | shaffy: some can, some cant | 23:44 |
| shaffy | thx. will try | 23:44 |
| losha | shaffy: sorry, I don't know much about the remix stuff... | 23:44 |
| shaffy | np. thx every1 | 23:44 |
| lobonegro_rlopez | Can anyone help me | 23:45 |
| Griktar | I have a great question.. I installed ubuntu then another distro after that.... How come the new distro is the one that handles the GRUB issues now? | 23:45 |
| sebsebseb | lobonegro_rlopez: With what? | 23:45 |
| losha | lobonegro_rlopez: I can help, but you'll have to do some cli work, ok? | 23:45 |
| lobonegro_rlopez | I don't mind | 23:46 |
| Flannel | Griktar: because the new distro wrote it's grub to the MBR, so your computer boots to that one. | 23:46 |
| sebsebseb | Griktar: ,because that distro probably put on it's own Grub | 23:46 |
| === hey` is now known as grumete | ||
| Griktar | ok, both distros have their /boot/grub/menu.lst | 23:46 |
| losha | lobonegro_rlopez: ok, please open a terminal, type sudo fdisk -l, and paste the output to paste.ubuntu.com | 23:46 |
| Griktar | How does that grub on the MBR know which to use? | 23:46 |
| Flannel | Griktar: right, GRUB is a two step process, the second step is the one that reads the menu.lst, the first step is the one that points to a second step (and sits on the MBR) | 23:47 |
| Flannel | Griktar: So, both second steps still exist, but the new distro wrote it's first one to the MBR, pointing to it's /boot/ | 23:47 |
| lobonegro_rlopez | paste it where? | 23:47 |
| aj_444 | ActionParsnip: I installed the .deb file for opera and tried installing it via the package manager and it didn't work for me. | 23:47 |
| Griktar | ok, so sense I have 2 partitions with 2 linux distros, they are basically like c:/ and d:/ if we were using windows? | 23:47 |
| Flannel | Griktar: Uh, not exactly, but that's close enough if you understand that. | 23:48 |
| Berzerker | what does "opera has no installation candidate" mean? | 23:48 |
| twobits | can any one recommened a really nice lightweight application launcher? Preferably something much more light weight than gnome do. I've looked around, but there are so many of them! | 23:48 |
| losha | lobonegro_rlopez: open a browser, go to http://paste.ubuntu.com, copy the output by cutting & pasting it into the browser window, press the button, and then tell us the url it gives you | 23:48 |
| Griktar | Flannel feel free to elaborate, i'm here to learn ';-) | 23:48 |
| twobits | so I thought I would see what other people are actually using | 23:49 |
| Flannel | Griktar: well, it's true that you have two separate installs, but linux doesn't deal with drive letters. And I don't think windows can install to a D drive. But yeah, that's close enough. | 23:49 |
| Griktar | I know it doesn't deal in drive letters but how does it know where to go? | 23:50 |
| Flannel | Griktar: Your bootloader (the part on the MBR) tells it which one to boot to. | 23:50 |
| Griktar | is that the UUID stuff? | 23:50 |
| BronzeAu | Morning / afternoon all:-D | 23:51 |
| Flannel | Griktar: No, this has nothing to do with your menu.lst, this is all stage1 stuff (menu.lst is stage2 stuff) | 23:51 |
| lobonegro_rlopez | http://paste.ubuntu.com/286578/ | 23:51 |
| Griktar | Where can I find out how the stage 1 stuff works? | 23:51 |
| Flannel | Griktar: Think of stage2 as the grub program, it reads your menu.lst, and displays it, etc. You have two different progrms (one for each distro), and at boot, your MBR runs one of them. | 23:51 |
| BronzeAu | Can someone tell me where I can get a good Karmic Koala Edubuntu Live CD image from? I got a stuffed Jaunty and a nother stuffed Karmic. | 23:52 |
| Flannel | BronzeAu: #ubuntu+1 for Karmic questions, thanks | 23:52 |
| BronzeAu | Ok cool. Thanks. | 23:52 |
| === remek_ is now known as remczas | ||
| Flannel | Griktar: Are you looking to swap back? or just want general information? or what? | 23:52 |
| losha | lobonegro_rlopez: very good. I see a single 160G disk, about 150G of which is dedicated to Ubuntu i.e. all your files are in there. Now lets see how much of that you're using. Type 'df -h' and paste the output, just like last time... | 23:53 |
| Griktar | Im a tech nerd, so gen information... Can learn to use it later if I choose to :-) | 23:53 |
| Griktar | Im sure that when i installed 9.10 it will make my ubuntus the main MBR right? lol | 23:53 |
| passses | Can I change where LILO boots from to a partition contained within a LBA partition | 23:53 |
| HappyHobo | the Koala rules! | 23:53 |
| passses | and then use gparted live cd to switch the boot back to primary partition to get my old boot menu back | 23:54 |
| lobonegro_rlopez | http://paste.ubuntu.com/286580/ | 23:54 |
| kermit | how does grub find menu.lst? | 23:54 |
| losha | Griktar: the gory details of grub booting are talked about in http://www.geocities.com/thestarman3/asm/mbr/GRUB.htm. Not for the faint of heart... | 23:54 |
| DaZ | koalas usually rule ;f | 23:54 |
| ikonia | kermit: it's written into the boot sector | 23:54 |
| Griktar | Thats losha | 23:54 |
| kermit | ikonia: but whenever i edit it i dont have to update anything | 23:54 |
| ikonia | kermit: the pointer is written into the boot sector I mean | 23:54 |
| passses | can LILO boot from OUTSIDE the boot sector | 23:54 |
| Flannel | Griktar: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html for general info, for redoing where the MBR stuff points, you can use this howto: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows | 23:54 |
| ikonia | passses: how can you boot something from outside the boot sector? | 23:55 |
| passses | yes, cos i noticed that I can change the boot flag | 23:55 |
| ikonia | passses: you can boot lilo from any thing that can be pointed at something to boot | 23:56 |
| passses | and so thought it would be useful if possible, just to write lilo to a different partition, and preserve my MBR just by switching the boot flag | 23:56 |
| losha | lobonegro_rlopez: ok, see line 2? It confirms that you're using about almost all your space. I'm guessing because your trash directory has tons of garbage in it. Next, we're going to find out where all the space has gone. Please type the following: cd /; du -x | sort -rn > /tmp/du.out | 23:56 |
| passses | so I could switch the boot flag in gparted, write LILO and boot from there (outside first 1024 cylinders) and then switch back to my old boot menu MBR at a later point | 23:57 |
| losha | lobonegro_rlopez: it will take a few minutes to run, because it looks over the whole disk. Just be patient till it returns to the prompt, ok... | 23:57 |
| unkmar | mgv1: still looking for a solution? | 23:57 |
| mgv1 | unkmar, yes | 23:57 |
| Serla | how to change the writing language in ubuntu | 23:57 |

| unkmar | mgv1: I believe my isipphone # is: 17474977232@sipphone.com | 23:58 |
| EricInBNE | oh never mind. figured out how to make the change | 23:58 |
| ikonia | EricInBNE: this isn't a comedy channel | 23:58 |
| Serla | mgv1 but I havent chosen the second language | 23:58 |
| mgv1 | serla- or add it to the panel | 23:58 |
| Serla | mgv1 how | 23:58 |
| mgv1 | serla- i guess you will need to choose | 23:59 |
| Serla | mgv1 yes but where will I do that | 23:59 |
| passses | I've read online that LILO will only work from the first 1024 sectors of a disk | 23:59 |
| mgv1 | serla- i dont know where | 23:59 |
| passses | does that mean I can set LILO to boot from a different partition | 23:59 |
| lobonegro_rlopez | ok, so every thing says "Permission Denied", should I have used sudo | 23:59 |
