If I had to guess, I'd say you've been writing stuff to a directory named /media/TOSHIBA EXT when there was no disk there, so the files are actually sitting on your main drive, if you see what I mean... | 00:34 |
| Kruppe | I can install it, but after it is installed i cannot boot in side by side with Ubuntu | 00:34 |
| sebsebseb | Kruppe: How did you try to install it? | 00:34 |
| Kruppe | LiveCD | 00:34 |
| guedesav | jiohdi: yep | 00:34 |
| sebsebseb | Kruppe: yes, but there are different Ubuntu set ups that can be done on the Live CD | 00:34 |
| jiohdi | guedesav, I am puzzled that you can read it at all | 00:35 |
| eido | When installing Ubuntu from Alpha 6 in a dual-boot configuration with another operating system, such as Windows Vista, the grub2 configuration will not present an option to boot to the other OS. Investigation of this issue is ongoing. | 00:35 |
| sebsebseb | Kruppe: did you use the guided install, or did you set up partitions yourself? | 00:35 |
| guedesav | ricky21tom: I once found a tutorial, but can't find it anymore. Try google | 00:35 |
| nerdy_kid | sorry for nube question: how do i change my default mouse theme? | 00:35 |
| guedesav | jihodi: I'm equally puzzled | 00:35 |
| guedesav | jihodi: and it's not only one, but two cards | 00:35 |
| Kruppe | I did the guided install | 00:35 |
| === p1ckLe1 is now known as p1ckLe | ||
| jiohdi | guedesav, did you check the little slider on the side of the card to make sure its not set to read only? | 00:35 |
| guedesav | jihodi: las time I had this problem, I managed to bypass it with a USB adabpter | 00:35 |
| guedesav | jihodi: yes, of course, it's unlocked | 00:35 |
| jiohdi | :) | 00:35 |
| guedesav | jihodi: the problem is I have no USB adaptor | 00:35 |
| ricky21tom | guedesav: hey please tech me i am just a basic learner | 00:35 |
| sebsebseb | Kruppe: by default the Live CD will install Grub, and go over your MBR, but maybe it didn't do that this time | 00:36 |
| ricky21tom | please | 00:36 |
| Kruppe | I get the option to boot into Ubuntu, but i get an error as soon as i choose it | 00:36 |
| lobonegro_rlopez | losha: I think so.. | 00:36 |
| jiohdi | guedesav: then how does it read? | 00:36 |
| guedesav | jiohdi: SD adapter | 00:36 |
| Kruppe | I've tried reinstalling three times now through LiveCD | 00:36 |
| DaZ | Kruppe: error ;f | 00:36 |

| YoTony | Hi, I'm having a bit of problem with my Ubuntu laptop. It's connected to the internet via a wireless router, and every time it's disconnected somehow I have to manually restore its connection. Anyone know how to make it reconnect automatically? | 00:36 |
| lobonegro_rlopez | losha: no | 00:36 |
| guedesav | ricky21tom: can't now, sorry | 00:36 |
| guedesav | jihodi: SD adapter | 00:36 |
| ricky21tom | guedesav: hey i to check the wifi adaptor of which manufacturer it is | 00:37 |
| Kruppe | The error? It says theres a missing or corrupt file in my sys32 windows folder, HAL.dll file | 00:37 |
| Kruppe | I checked the file, it's fine | 00:37 |
| od3n | so how did you install 185 then | 00:37 |
| guedesav | ricky21tom: try "lshw -c network" | 00:37 |
| sebsebseb | Kruppe: maybe it's picking up some of the old Wubi MBR, and then not working properly. I guess you could let Windows fix it's MBR, and then re install Grub. or just re install Ubuntu with real partitions and hopefuly Grub works. I guess I can't be of that much help really, I tried though. | 00:37 |
| guedesav | ricky21tom: it'll displalist your network adapters | 00:37 |
| DaZ | od3n: just install the binary from the nvidia ;f | 00:38 |
| sebsebseb | Kruppe: I don't know that much about Wubi, but what I do know is that problems can happen, because of it | 00:38 |
| shafiq | hi all | 00:38 |
| od3n | how do I do that I am a linux noob | 00:38 |
| Kruppe | Well can i get rid of the Wubi issues without losing windows data | 00:39 |
| DaZ | od3n: this makes things harder | 00:39 |
| Kruppe | If i can clean out my computer of the Wubi screw up i think i'd be fine | 00:39 |
| sebsebseb | Kruppe: should be able to yep | 00:39 |
| losha | lobonegro_rlopez: You know that when the external drive is plugged in, it appears in the directory /media/TOSHIBA EXT. When it's not plugged in, the directory is still there. You've (mistakenly) filled that directory with files. Looks like that's where most of your space has gone.... | 00:39 |
| Kruppe | What can i do to fix everything back | 00:39 |
| od3n | well sure but I think I can do it | 00:39 |
| sebsebseb | Kruppe: I think you can probably let the Windows CD fix it's MBR, so only Windows boots up, and then either re install Grub, or the whole of Ubuntu | 00:39 |
| shafiq | I need some info regarding Network simulator 2 can somebody help me | 00:40 |
| shafiq | ? | 00:40 |
| Kruppe | How would i go about using the windows CD to fix that | 00:40 |
| lobonegro_rlopez | It must be a back up program i use | 00:40 |
| nerdy_kid | anyone know how to change the default mouse theme? | 00:40 |
| sebsebseb | Kruppe: Windows XP or Vista or? | 00:40 |
| od3n | I have the pkg1.run on my desktop | 00:40 |
| Kruppe | XP 32bit | 00:40 |
| DaZ | od3n: you have to download the binary, turn of the xserver, chmod +x binary and ./binary | 00:40 |
| DaZ | ;f | 00:40 |
| losha | lobonegro_rlopez: could be, You need to look through that directory and see if there's stuff there that you want to keep, and move it somewhere else, ok? | 00:41 |
| VCoolio | nerdy_kid: in appearance, hit "customize" and then the mouse tab | 00:41 |
| DaZ | od3n: and ofc remove driver from the repo ;f | 00:41 |
| shafiq | is ita right place to get help for NS2? | 00:41 |
| sebsebseb | Kruppe: Ok put the CD in boot it up, and there should be some kind of option on there. so it can fix some errors. Oh and ##windows can help with the Windows side. | 00:41 |
| thiebaude | Kruppe, do you have your data backed up? | 00:41 |
| shafiq | i am a begneer of ubuntu | 00:41 |
| DaZ | od3n: but i don't think that your problem is driver related <: | 00:41 |
| Kruppe | No, no backups =< | 00:41 |
| thiebaude | ok | 00:41 |
| nerdy_kid | VCoolio i mean the root theme, the global default, any idea? | 00:41 |
| Kruppe | Would a system restore be able to do it? | 00:42 |
| sebsebseb | Kruppe: no | 00:42 |
| sebsebseb | Kruppe: you need to let the Windows CD fix it's MBR | 00:42 |
| Kruppe | Alright | 00:42 |
| Kruppe | Let me find it then | 00:42 |
| VCoolio | nerdy_kid: create a file /root/.gtkrc-2.0 and in that add a line that defines the mouse theme, let me look it up | 00:42 |
| sebsebseb | Kruppe: I think this is the right way to do it hmm. then just re install Grub or the whole of Ubuntu, when only Windows is booting up | 00:43 |

| Kruppe | Thank you for the help | 00:43 |
| losha | lobonegro_rlopez: ah, if your backup program was set to backup to your external disk, and you ran it when the external disk wasn't connected, all the files would end up in /media/TOSHIBA EXT. The backup program would think that meant it was writing to the external disk, but since it wasn't connected, it all goes into the directory instead... | 00:43 |

| FLAC | I asked earlier today if anyone here ran Lightpd on an ubuntu server. Would you recommend Ubuntu over CentOS? | 01:09 |
| system404 | eido: make sure ur xorg.conf looks as i just pmd and ull be good to go | 01:09 |
| eido | system404: i had closed it can you resend | 01:09 |
| mrwes | FLAC, you come to the #Ubuntu channel and ask that? heh | 01:09 |
| lstarnes | FLAC: this channel would obviously recommend ubuntu | 01:09 |
| mrwes | duh | 01:09 |
| lstarnes | FLAC: ##linux is about linux in general and is less biased | 01:10 |
| mrwes | I'd actually recommend PCAnywhere | 01:10 |
| FLAC | yes, but does anyone have any lighttpd expirence with ubuntu | 01:10 |
| lstarnes | FLAC: I use it on ubuntu | 01:10 |
| sebsebseb | Kruppe: Well good luck, and maybe now is a good time to repeate your issue with all the details | 01:10 |
| eido | system404: can you pastebin it it gets truncated from flood | 01:10 |
| eido | or not | 01:11 |
| eido | system404: can you pastebin it it gets truncated from flood | 01:11 |
| FLAC | are you happy with it? is managing it easy? do you run with a xserver or not? | 01:11 |
| === user__ is now known as inthekeys01 | ||
| system404 | eido what was last message had to close pidgin there | 01:11 |
| Kruppe | Well my main question is if i install under Kubuntu will it have a Kubuntu boot choice, or will it be named Ubuntu | 01:11 |
| system404 | eido will do | 01:11 |
| lstarnes | FLAC: it doesn't need an xserver | 01:11 |
| lstarnes | FLAC: it works fairly well | 01:11 |
| === Bllasae_AFK is now known as Bllasae | ||
| sebsebseb | Kruppe: If you install Kubuntu your pretty much installing Ubuntu again | 01:12 |
| sebsebseb | Kruppe: just with a different desktop environment | 01:12 |
| Kruppe | Yes, i understand, but will it be under the side-by-side boot name "Ubuntu" | 01:12 |
| lstarnes | FLAC: it might need a little more configuration than apache | 01:12 |
| Kruppe | Or "Kubuntu" | 01:12 |
| sebsebseb | Kruppe: and I guess it will be called Kubuntu in menu.lst rather than Ubuntu | 01:12 |
| shamike | hey is there a way to have flash 9 for opera and flash version 10 for firefox? | 01:12 |
| lstarnes | FLAC: there is also nginx, which I haven't tried yet | 01:12 |
| FLAC | thanks. i run currently on centos (with xserver) and I wanted to hear some ubuntu expirence. | 01:12 |
| Kruppe | I think that would give me a temporary fix | 01:12 |
| sebsebseb | Kruppe: On a Live CD you can access the menu.lst it's put on when you installed with partitions, and change stuff in there if nessarey | 01:13 |
| lstarnes | FLAC: it's largely the same on every linux distro or unix variant | 01:13 |
| system404 | eido: http://pastebin.org/36730 | 01:13 |
| sebsebseb | Kruppe: There's IRC, there's Googleing, and forums, for help | 01:13 |
| Kruppe | I just don't know how to address the windows issue with Wubi, since everything under Ubuntu works fine, it's Windows thats holding it back | 01:13 |
| FLAC | yeah. I don't have as much server expirence with a deb distro as I do with an rpm distro. | 01:13 |
| system404 | make sure to backup or xorg.conf then overite it with what ive shown u save restart and kick in compiz fusion lol | 01:14 |
| Kruppe | Yeah, i understand, i've googled and forum searched, so i came to IRC | 01:14 |
| lstarnes | FLAC: apt is fairly easy to work with | 01:14 |
| sebsebseb | Kruppe: Wubi is a file in Windows, and then it does the stuff to the bootloaders | 01:14 |
| FLAC | lstarnes: Thanks for the help! What scripting languages do you run on it? | 01:15 |
| lstarnes | FLAC: perl and php | 01:15 |

| chilicuil | hi, does anyone know how to reset the crontab editor? I've run "crontab -e" and it prompted me to choice an editor, I've selected vim but it doesn't works fine with the my plugins, so I want to set another editor | 01:20 |
| soreau | eido: Oh yea, pastebin has been having problems all day | 01:20 |
| fccf | chilicuil: perhaps nano | 01:21 |

| lstarnes | chilicuil: e.g. export EDITOR=nano | 01:21 |
| soreau | eido: Try UXA acceleration method to see if it helps by putting the following line in the Device section of xorg.conf: Option "AccelMethod" "UXA" | 01:22 |
| soreau | eido: Or just change EXA to UXA if that line is already there | 01:22 |
| chilicuil | Ohh, thx lstarnes : ) | 01:22 |
| soreau | eido: This way, you will have DRI2 and gl should work better with compiz (dragging glxgears window around will stay with the window instead of leaving a mess on your screen for example) | 01:23 |

| godstar | mlregister: if you are new to linux, often times the easiest thing to do is to reinstall Ubuntu with a default guided install. Another recommendation would be to not have any of your other HDD connected to SATA or IDE channels during the install so you dont have to worry about wiping them accidentally. | 02:17 |

| martin_henry | !nice | 02:20 |
| ubottu | 'Nice' is a property of a process that determines how willing it is to give CPU time to other processes. A higher value makes it more likely to give away time. A negative value makes it less likely. Values are from -19 to 19, with 0 being the default. For more information, type 'man nice' at a terminal. | 02:20 |

| droolpal | My sound worked yesterday, but not today after updating FF 3.6 daily. I'm not sure if the update was the problem or not, but that is the only thing I have changed. How do I troubleshoot this? | 02:20 |
| canthus13 | jiohdi: it manages things like shutting down your screen, powering down drives, and other power-saving measures. | 02:20 |
| part2ntfs | abarbaccia: you should ask in #ubuntu+1 for karmic questions | 02:21 |
| abarbaccia | part2ntfs: thanks! | 02:21 |
| jiohdi | canthus, is that why when I power off it just says system halted and stays that way? | 02:21 |
| EmilemiL | IdleOne: Ok, I'll try that. Thanks. One more thing, will my 9800gtx+ work propperly with ubuntu? I looked but didnt find an answer to that. | 02:21 |
| canthus13 | jiohdi: Did you disable acpi? | 02:21 |
| jiohdi | canthus, I think the system did it automatically | 02:21 |

| canthus13 | jiohdi: That would be why. Check your bios settings and make sure it hasn't somehow been disabled. | 02:21 |
| hajmola | part2ntfs, oh, the "ntfs" option is greyed out? | 02:22 |
| EmilemiL | IdleOne: Okey, thanks | 02:22 |
| part2ntfs | hajmola: yes | 02:22 |
| jiohdi | canthus13: I have an old machine, perhaps it does not have that? | 02:22 |
| canthus13 | jiohdi: Could be. | 02:22 |
| od3n | anyone know what would cause a resolution not to show up for the nvidia x server | 02:22 |
| EmilemiL | Anyone else that run any ubuntu dist with nvidia 9800gtx+? | 02:22 |
| jiohdi | canthus, I know years ago, I had problems with knoppix on it... had to put some special code like that into the boot | 02:22 |
| IdleOne | !hardware | EmilemiL check to see if it is listed | 02:23 |
| ubottu | EmilemiL check to see if it is listed: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection | 02:23 |
| hajmola | part2ntfs, you have to install package "ntfsprogs" | 02:23 |
| part2ntfs | od3n: i know its possible to manually input the resolution (dangerous) by sudo editing the /etc/X11/xorg.conf (backup before) | 02:23 |
| EmilemiL | !hardware | 02:23 |
| part2ntfs | hajomla: thanks | 02:23 |
| canthus13 | jiohdi: acpi is buggy on some systems. It's a perennial headache in linux. | 02:23 |
| IdleOne | EmilemiL: go to the site ubottu gave you | 02:23 |
| EmilemiL | I noticed, Thanks | 02:24 |
| neoTheCat | i have a blackberry, laptop and a desktop. i want to sync my todo list and calendar. any recommendations, even if i need to install a backend? | 02:24 |
| od3n | 1360x768 is as far as it will show and I know the lcd I have has a max of 1680x1050 | 02:24 |
| jiohdi | canthus13: mine is a compaq, I think must be close to 5-6 years old | 02:24 |
| canthus13 | jiohdi: It should support acpi. | 02:24 |
| part2ntfs | does jaunty support ntfs without installing this program? | 02:24 |
| hajmola | EmilemiL, is it not working with nvidia-settings? | 02:25 |
| jiohdi | canthus13: it may be older, dont remember for sure | 02:25 |
| canthus13 | jiohdi: acpi came out around 1996, and was pretty much everywhere by about 2001. | 02:25 |
| hajmola | part2ntfs, I don't think so.... | 02:25 |
| part2ntfs | jiohdi: evo or compaq armada? armada doesn't support acpi, evo does | 02:26 |
| jiohdi | canthus13: I am relatively sure its not that old :) | 02:26 |
| canthus13 | jiohdi: It could simply be that the acpi drivers aren't being loaded. | 02:26 |
| hajmola | part2ntfs, when you install ntfsprogs, gparted will un-grey it in the pulldown | 02:26 |
| jiohdi | part2ntfs: presario 1113mx | 02:26 |
| Penol | Where can i find vinylstickers like, Facebook,Twitter,LinkedIN, And stuff to put on the back of my laptop screen? | 02:26 |
| EmilemiL | hajmola: I have no idea, did not test it with ubuntu yet but the hardware compability site says that it will work with "3D requires nvidia-glx" | 02:26 |
| jiohdi | canthus13: most things seem to be working well at the moment, its just the shut down, which seems to have a problem | 02:27 |
| od3n | well how do I add that res to the xorg.conf file | 02:27 |
| hajmola | EmilemiL, yeah, it's a restricted driver from Nvidia... it *should* work, but i dont' have the same chipset | 02:27 |
| canthus13 | jiohdi: Does your screen turn off when it sits idle? | 02:27 |
| jiohdi | canthus13: it just sits there black with a few cryptic lines and system halted | 02:27 |
| canthus13 | jiohdi: Hmm... do this from the terminal: dmesg | grep acpi and pastebin it. | 02:28 |
| EmilemiL | hajmola: I'll just give it a try, if it works I'm happy ;) | 02:28 |
| EmilemiL | quit | 02:28 |
| EmilemiL | exit | 02:28 |
| hajmola | EmilemiL, good luck | 02:28 |
| EmilemiL | nvm XD | 02:28 |
| EmilemiL | thanks | 02:28 |
| jiohdi | canthus13: [ 0.348204] * this bug, please use "acpi_pm_good" to disable the workaround | 02:29 |
| canthus13 | jiohdi: Hmm.. Looks like you've got an acpi bug that hasn't been worked out. | 02:30 |
| part2ntfs | od3n: edit manually through a program such as nano (don't know exactly how); see the other resolutions and add a line with the resolution you think your card supports | 02:30 |
| jiohdi | canthus13: hasnt been worked out by linux programmers? | 02:30 |
| canthus13 | jiohdi: Exactly. | 02:31 |
| canthus13 | jiohdi: You might try adding the acpi_pm_good to the boot options. | 02:31 |
| __lupo__ | does anybody knows a software for linux to build house? like Google SketchU | 02:31 |
| === trina_ is now known as Kittykis | ||
| canthus13 | jiohdi: Of course, if you do that, you might find other odd stability issues. | 02:32 |
| jiohdi | canthus13: yeah, I think I will leave good enough alone :) | 02:32 |
| canthus13 | jiohdi: But it's worth a try. I'm assuming this is on a laptop, right? | 02:32 |
| MaximLevitsky | Is there a way to repair damaged files using dpkg/apt | 02:32 |
| MaximLevitsky | At least missing files | 02:32 |
| jiohdi | canthus13: no desktop | 02:32 |
| LjL | MaximLevitsky: files that are missing from packages, that is? | 02:32 |
| canthus13 | jiohdi: Huh. Most acpi issues I've seen have been on laptops. | 02:32 |
| jiohdi | canthus13: I have an acer laptop has no issues | 02:33 |
| Zappo | nevermind i found it | 02:33 |
| LjL | MaximLevitsky: you can just reinstall the involved package with "sudo apt-get --reinstall install packagename" | 02:33 |
| MaximLevitsky | LjL: fsck mess.... | 02:33 |
| canthus13 | jiohdi: Cool. Well, I suppose if it's not bother to push the power button after it halts, then it's not a big deal, eh? | 02:33 |
| MaximLevitsky | LjL: there are many files that are broken now | 02:33 |
| jiohdi | canthus13: compaq tended to use a lot of proprietary junk | 02:33 |
| canthus13 | jiohdi: No kidding. | 02:33 |
| canthus13 | jiohdi: HP is the same. | 02:34 |
| part2ntfs | MaximLevitsky: you can try sudo aptitude upgrade or sudo apt-get install -f | 02:34 |
| LjL | MaximLevitsky: you can use "debsums" to find out which ones are broken and what packages they belong to | 02:34 |
| canthus13 | jiohdi: It took a couple of months to shoehorn ubuntu into this HP laptop and make everything work properly. | 02:34 |
| jiohdi | canthus13: I have an even older compaq that I am running macpup on... ubuntu could not find sound drivers for it, but puppy did | 02:34 |
| MaximLevitsky | LjL: this is interesting... | 02:35 |
| LjL | MaximLevitsky: but keep in mind you might have corrupted configuration files too, and that can'teasily be helped | 02:35 |
| part2ntfs | jiohdi: do you know how to compress ntfs drives in ubuntu after partitioning them? | 02:35 |
| canthus13 | jiohdi: puppy does a pretty good job of basic hardware detection. | 02:35 |
| MaximLevitsky | LjL: sure, but my /home is on seperate partition.... thank godness... | 02:35 |
| eido | so when ubuntu boots off a live boot it loads vesa? | 02:35 |
| LjL | MaximLevitsky: configuration files are also in /etc | 02:36 |
| canthus13 | eido: Yep. | 02:36 |
| jiohdi | part2ntfs: I have only seen it take up some ntfs and repartition it, dont know about compression | 02:36 |
| MaximLevitsky | LjL: sure, but this can be handled | 02:36 |
| MaximLevitsky | LjL: I once got all /etc in lost+found. That was JFS.... | 02:36 |
| LjL | MaximLevitsky: ugh. | 02:36 |

| Sledger | phix.. do you know how i can add files to the harddrives? | 02:41 |
| lucille | i am familiar with virtualbax | 02:41 |
| Sledger | they are .vdi files | 02:41 |

| deacon_ | oh thanks | 02:41 |
| nossralsuva | Sledger: the .vdi files stay in your /home/username/.VirtualBox folder | 02:41 |
| deacon_ | i love ubuntu but stillnew to it | 02:42 |
| jiohdi | part2ntfs: why would you want to compress them? | 02:42 |
| phix | Sledger: It is easier if you have an OS on it though | 02:42 |
| Sledger | i want to run windows with a copy of MS office 2007, and i have the ISO made.. but where do i put it, or how do i get to it? | 02:42 |
| === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log | ||
| nossralsuva | Sledger: in that folder you will find the hardisk and machines folder | 02:42 |
| part2ntfs | jiohdi: space | 02:42 |
| phix | Sledger: then you can use VituralBox shared folders | 02:42 |
| Sledger | phix i tried that.. | 02:42 |
| phix | Sledger: mount it | 02:42 |
| Sledger | i shared the folders, but how do i get to them? | 02:42 |

| eido | sledgenowski | 02:43 |
| nossralsuva | Sledger: add the .vdi (the virtual machine) into the hardisk folder | 02:43 |
| deacon_ | you ppl are great!! and cool | 02:43 |
| phix | Sledger: Run the virtual machine | 02:43 |
| jiohdi | part2ntfs: why do you wish to keep anything ntfs? | 02:43 |
| lucille | yes. for accessing other fsystems | 02:43 |
| nossralsuva | Sledger: then open virtual box and preferences and add a virtual harddisk | 02:43 |
| part2ntfs | ability to use my usb on others computers | 02:43 |
| phix | Sledger: then click on device, then install guest addons | 02:43 |
| Serla | stlsaint too bad, doesn't look like empathy supports webcams | 02:44 |
| jiohdi | part2ntfs: if you compress, you take a big chance in making those files completely useless | 02:44 |
| phix | Sledger: but you don't need to do that to access a .ISO file, just do what nossralsuva said | 02:44 |
| part2ntfs | jiohdi: ntfs-3g dev team hasn't gotten around that problem yet? its only been 4 years | 02:44 |
| phix | Sledger: I recommend installing the guest addons any way | 02:44 |
| jiohdi | part2ntfs: why not simply compress them while booted into some windows os? | 02:44 |
| part2ntfs | jiohdi: i want to do it the ubuntu way | 02:44 |
| phix | part2ntfs: Not their fault, NT is a properitary file system | 02:45 |

| akanthehouse | hi i join clan ant just now so now what? | 02:45 |
| phix | Sledger: 12:43 < nossralsuva> Sledger: then open virtual box and preferences and add a virtual harddisk | 02:45 |
| nossralsuva | Sledger: once you add the virtual machine using the preferences option from the virtualbox pane, then you will be able to use that virtual hard disk | 02:45 |
| part2ntfs | phix: NTFS-3G is not open source? | 02:45 |
| phix | part2ntfs: ummmm I thought it was, then again Ubuntu is not as anal as Debian, so it could be | 02:45 |
| nossralsuva | Sledger: and you will just need to make a new machine and then reference that 'existing' hard disk | 02:45 |
| Sledger | ty | 02:46 |
| part2ntfs | phix: there should be a way to compress NTFS in ubuntu then | 02:46 |
| Sledger | a new machine | 02:46 |
| Sledger | just for that harddrive? | 02:46 |
| jiohdi | part2ntfs: are you talking files or the file system? how do you compress a file system? | 02:47 |
| phix | part2ntfs: yes, copy the entire file system onto another file system that supports compression under Linux, then mount the NTFS file somewhere | 02:47 |
| phix | part2ntfs: done | 02:47 |
| part2ntfs | jiohdi: file system, nothing is on the partition yet | 02:47 |
| phix | I believe there is kernel support for compression in Ubuntu | 02:48 |

| riley | Good evening everyone. I have... i hope... a quick question. I have been running Ubuntu 9.04 for a while, and on more than one occasion gotten some really weird hangups. When i restart... green screen, then no boot. ran recovery mode but due to my noobish nature... couldnt get anywhere. | 02:48 |
| phix | there is an attribute you set or seomthing | 02:48 |
| phix | part2ntfs: no it isn't, NTFS does not work on all computers for compression, only Windows | 02:48 |
| part2ntfs | phix: MAC also | 02:48 |
| riley | is there a quick fix for the no boot that i am running into? | 02:48 |
| phix | part2ntfs: unless you purchase a commerical module | 02:49 |
| part2ntfs | phix: as an alternative, does truecrypt compress when it encryptions the partition? | 02:49 |
| phix | part2ntfs: MS requires that developers pay them to create stuff to maniplute their file format | 02:49 |
| phix | part2ntfs: Not that I am aware of | 02:49 |
| phix | part2ntfs: just don't worry about it :) | 02:50 |
| MaximLevitsky | LjL: thanks you very very much | 02:50 |
| part2ntfs | phix: darn, running out of options, ok, i'll forget it until space is a problem | 02:50 |
| phix | part2ntfs: You can pick up a 1TB for about $115 AUD | 02:50 |
| phix | part2ntfs: that is nothing | 02:50 |
| graelin | Is there a DVB/TV card support channel? Or will here be an appriopriate venue for my problem? | 02:50 |

| riley | cursor | 02:52 |
| phix | ok | 02:52 |
| riley | nothing after the cursor | 02:52 |
| jiohdi | no error code? | 02:52 |
| riley | none | 02:52 |
| jiohdi | does it give any boot options? | 02:52 |
| graelin | Welp... Hauppage WinTV HVR 1600 supposed to have support in new kernal now. In fact I can get picture, but it's horribly pixilated at times. There are 2 connectors on back.. TV and ATSC. In windows I only get a picture with Comcast connected to TV co-ax port. In Linux Only get it in ATSC coax port... | 02:53 |
| riley | jiohdi: at the grub or when it hangs? | 02:53 |
| jiohdi | riley, grup typically has a list of options, do you get that far? | 02:53 |
| jiohdi | grub* | 02:53 |

| jacquesdupontd | i have a little webcam problem that i can't understand how to resolve, if i launch xcam it doesn't work and can't access to /dev/video0 operation not permitted but if i do a sudo wxcam it works and its all the same for skype and others any clue please ? | 02:54 |
| graelin | When I scan for channels in Linux, I can only use scan utilities with ATSC options... any other option results in device not being found. Supposedly this is completely supported now, so I'm wondering if I need to install/inject another driver for the "tv" port | 02:55 |
| riley | jiohdi, yes. that is the screen | 02:55 |
| phix | jacquesdupontd: permissions | 02:55 |
| graelin | jacquesdupontd: Add yourself to the video users group | 02:55 |
| riley | jiohdi, if i try safe, i get the cursor hangup, if i choose recovery... im in over my head | 02:55 |
| phix | jacquesdupontd: What permission does /dev/video0 have? who is the owner? | 02:55 |
| phix | jacquesdupontd: yes you need to be in the video group, but just see who the file is owned by first | 02:56 |

| jacquesdupontd | phix, don't remember how to change those group thing in the terminal | 02:57 |
| riley | jiohdi, i was confused when i tried that. if i were to boot from the live, will it bring me to "my" desktop or to the live desktop? | 02:57 |
| graelin | I can usually figure out anything in Linux, but TV standards and stuff like that(particularly in Linux) make my head spin | 02:57 |
| yj | i m chinese | 02:57 |
| jiohdi | riley, it will bring you to the live, but you have access to the other | 02:57 |
| jiohdi | riley, if you can get that far atleast you can rule out massive disk corruption | 02:58 |
| riley | jiohdi, hrmm. I havent tried that. I ended up going with a clean install.. but i want to be on the ready for next time | 02:58 |

| jiohdi | riley, do you know about usb stand alone apps? | 03:07 |
| dfwlinuxguy | anyone tried lighttpd? It's awesome | 03:07 |
| dfwlinuxguy | I replace apache after 12 years | 03:07 |
| riley | jiohdi, meaning? | 03:07 |
| dfwlinuxguy | my server only has 512 ram and apache was eating up all the mem | 03:07 |
| jiohdi | riley, I recently discovered a lot of usb stand alone apps that run really well under wine | 03:07 |
| jiohdi | riley, like operaUSB... does not crash like the opera for linux | 03:08 |
| MenZa | dfwlinuxguy: I'm still happy with Apache. | 03:08 |
| riley | jiohdi, ill have to check it out. Ive had.... limited.. success with wine | 03:08 |
| nErVe | hey guys i m having troubles with karmic it wont boot atm from the live cd | 03:08 |
| Elone | hi, i have a problem with the pen on my tablet pc; the pen won't work on fresh boot, but work after i relogin ... any workaround? | 03:08 |
| nErVe | the screen flickers and keep flickering. | 03:08 |
| jiohdi | riley, because they are designed to work straight off a usb stick, they seem perfect for wine | 03:09 |
| dfwlinuxguy | Menza I was too until it ate all the mem and crashed my server | 03:09 |
| MenZa | !karmic | nErVe | 03:09 |
| ubottu | nErVe: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 29th, 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 | 03:09 |
| jiohdi | riley, portableapps.com is a good site there others | 03:09 |
| MenZa | dfwlinuxguy: Regardless, this is offtopic :) | 03:09 |
| riley | jiohdi, do you need a dedicated stick per prog? or can you stack a bunch on a single stick? | 03:09 |
| jiohdi | riley, you can put them on the .wine c drive | 03:09 |
| dfwlinuxguy | Menza how is that off topic? | 03:09 |
| fragmonkee | ugh | 03:10 |
| fragmonkee | god this thing sucks | 03:10 |
| MenZa | dfwlinuxguy: This is solely for support. | 03:10 |
| jiohdi | riley, you can install them all, dont need a stick, even though that was the original intent | 03:10 |
| sebsebseb | !details | fragmonkee | 03:10 |
| ubottu | fragmonkee: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 03:10 |
| Zappo | good night everyone | 03:10 |
| riley | jiohdi, ohhh i see. use your .wine c as the "stick" | 03:10 |
| jiohdi | riley, exactly | 03:11 |
| jiohdi | riley, I dont know about gnome, but in xfce you can create a launcher for the panel and for the command you just put in wine program.exe and it will work | 03:12 |
| jiohdi | riley, as long as you set the path properly of course | 03:12 |
| riley | jiohdi, very interesting... could i make the .wine c reside on a thumb? may seem like sillyness.. but having a set of apps on a thumb that wine could... automount perhaps. that way if wife wanted pc i could keep the base progs on here, and my stuff on the thumb | 03:12 |
| riley | jiohdi, gnome is about the same | 03:13 |
| riley | panel > add to panel > custom launcher > browse to app | 03:13 |
| jiohdi | riley, you can keep all the programs on the thumb, and just activate them by wine program loader | 03:13 |
| jiohdi | riley, then you can use them on windows os and linux machines | 03:14 |
| riley | jiohdi, very interested. portableapps.com you said? | 03:14 |
| jiohdi | riley, that is one of the sites I think, you can google and find about three others | 03:14 |
| eduardo | hello can anyone check my kernel log please? my computer freezes for some seconds, but i can still move the mose pointer? any ideas? please help! thanks! | 03:15 |
| sebsebseb | riley: that's not for Linux last time I looked, only Windows | 03:15 |
| esaym153 | does ubuntu still come with this as default: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/share-your-ubuntu-desktop-using-remote-desktop.html | 03:15 |
| jiohdi | riley: there are a couple of dozen programs, most work just fine | 03:15 |
| riley | seb, understood | 03:15 |
| Sledger | Phix i don't understand | 03:15 |
| jiohdi | sebsebseb: works with wine just fine | 03:15 |
| sebsebseb | jiohdi: really you should try and run as many apps as possible for what you want to do on a computer natively :) and then Wine, and then a Windows virtual machine | 03:16 |
| pahom | hi all | 03:16 |
| jiohdi | sebsebseb: my linux version of opera crashes on a regular basis, but the operaUSB under wine is rock solid | 03:16 |
| dfwlinuxguy | esaym153 nomachine's nx server and client is the best remote desktop app ever | 03:16 |
| esaym153 | dfwlinuxguy: I don't care about best, I want easiest | 03:17 |
| riley | seb, understood, but i jump from work (windows) to home (lnx). the thumb+wine would make a nice interface for the 2 machines | 03:17 |
| riley | hadnt even considered usb sa apps | 03:17 |
| jiohdi | riley, as you said, feels good to help :) | 03:17 |
| Sledger | How to mount harddrives within a VirtualBox OSE virtual machine? | 03:17 |
| sebsebseb | riley: Wine does not run on Windows | 03:18 |
| dfwlinuxguy | esaym153 well if the easiest is something that works even over slow Internet connections, then nx is what I would use. | 03:18 |
| riley | sebsebseb: right | 03:18 |
| MenZa | sebsebseb: Yes it does. | 03:18 |
| jiohdi | sebsebseb: you dont need wine to run usb portable apps on windows machines | 03:18 |
| sebsebseb | MenZa: Can it? I thought it was only for Linux and Mac, and maybe Unix | 03:18 |
| MenZa | sebsebseb: Sure. | 03:19 |
| jiohdi | sebsebseb: but wine allows those portable apps to work really well in ubuntu | 03:19 |
| === eddiebuntu is now known as wiseguy | ||
| jiohdi | you dont need wine in windows thats redundant :) | 03:19 |
| === wiseguy is now known as cottoncandyfetis | ||
| riley | jiohdi: this will also help with my carputer... | 03:19 |
| sebsebseb | MenZa: if someone ports it, if it's not already been done, well yeah | 03:19 |
| MenZa | jiohdi: Not if you want to check how a program you're developing in Windows would run on Wine. But this is straying offtopic. | 03:20 |
| jiohdi | menza, true | 03:20 |
| sebsebseb | shame as far as I know there isn't anything that is actsaully cross platform (Linux distros, Windows, and Mac OS X) when it comes to portable usb apps. | 03:20 |

| MenZa | dfwlinuxguy: In case you haven't noticed, it's a very busy channel. We can't have all sorts of discussions going on in here, so it's restricted to support. Anything else goes in #ubuntu-offtopic. | 03:21 |
| jiohdi | sebsebseb: because the portable apps are small and tight coded, they are ideal for wine :) | 03:21 |

| phix | Sledger: you want to mount a CD image? office XP or 2007 or whatnot? is that correct? | 03:36 |
| Sledger | phix yes | 03:36 |
| phix | ok, so run your VM | 03:36 |
| Sledger | phix and i want to get my hdd on there | 03:36 |
| Sledger | phix ok its open | 03:37 |
| kismet | no one any idea | 03:37 |
| phix | then click on devices, mount CD/DVD ROM, then mount cd/dvd rom image | 03:37 |
| cornwall | kismet, what error messages are presented? | 03:37 |
| kismet | i get error message like "Failed to fetch..... | 03:37 |

| calebH | hello all. I've been using ubuntu for about 3+ years now, and I now use ubuntu on all of my computers (no dual booting - straight linux). I've been recently wondering how I could go about synchronizing the "package state" of my machines (e.g. if I install an app on one system, also have it installed on the others). Any ideas? Would I have to manage my own repository? | 03:38 |
| kismet | cornwall: and at the end "W: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead. | 03:38 |
| phix | c0l2e: no | 03:38 |
| c0l2e | so is there any way i can do that?? | 03:38 |
| kismet | cornwall: my internet is good.. so it works with browser. and all that stuff | 03:38 |
| cornwall | kismet, have you tried changing your download server in System>Software Sources? | 03:38 |
| phix | c0l2e: DNS is a name to ip address resolver, it knows nothing about services or TCP/UDP ports | 03:38 |
| phix | c0l2e: you can add a TXT or SVR record to a DNS entry | 03:38 |
| c0l2e | hmm how? | 03:39 |
| phix | c0l2e: and add whatever information you want to | 03:39 |
| kismet | cornwall: yeah i tried to changed to different server but still every time same error and i tried evan apt-get -f clean | 03:39 |
| phix | c0l2e: Are you hosting the DNS? | 03:39 |
| c0l2e | I can modify our DNS | 03:39 |
| phix | c0l2e: ok, so add in a TXT record then, but the application that resolves it needs to be modified in order to make use of it | 03:40 |
| phix | c0l2e: what are you trying to do? | 03:40 |
| c0l2e | i just want to access the site mail.example.com:5051 to webmail.example.com | 03:40 |
| calebH | ah, it looks like I need canonical/landscape | 03:40 |
| phix | c0l2e: you can't do that | 03:40 |
| Sledger | phix how would i get to it within windows 7? | 03:41 |
| phix | c0l2e: SMTP uses port 25 as a standard | 03:41 |
| c0l2e | phix: so what is the other way to do it? redirection from webserver ? | 03:41 |
| RockClimb | anyone know how to force the window manager to reread the screen size? or change the task bars to the new screen size? | 03:41 |
| phix | Sledger: It mounts it to the CDROM drive | 03:41 |
| phix | Sledger: in the guest OS | 03:41 |
| cornwall | kismet, have you tried disabling your firewall? | 03:41 |
| c0l2e | phix: no I mean it still in 25.. but that one is for webmail access only | 03:41 |
| kismet | the funny thing is i evan don't have a firewall | 03:41 |
| c0l2e | hmm | 03:41 |
| phix | c0l2e: what? | 03:41 |
| kismet | cornwall: | 03:41 |
| phix | c0l2e: oh this isn't a mail server you are connecting to, it is a webserver? | 03:42 |
| phix | c0l2e: well use mod_redirect or something like that if you have access to apache config | 03:42 |
| c0l2e | phix: it's not a webserver | 03:42 |
| phix | c0l2e: webmail means it is running on a webserver :) | 03:42 |
| phix | c0l2e: stop confusing me, explain how you system is set out and what you are trying to achieve | 03:43 |
| c0l2e | phix: yeah i mean... our router has a different forwarded webserver | 03:43 |
| c0l2e | here what our current setup | 03:43 |
| c0l2e | ROUTER point port 80 ---> localip 192.168.1.20 | 03:44 |
| kismet | :( that is sh.... | 03:44 |
| c0l2e | ROUTER point point 5051 ---> localip 192.168.100.21:80 | 03:44 |
| c0l2e | like that | 03:44 |
| cornwall | kismet, what? | 03:44 |
| kismet | why is that not working if i copy the link in brower it works | 03:44 |
| phix | c0l2e: so you are trying to access the webmail externalling? or internally? | 03:44 |
| c0l2e | externally | 03:45 |
| phix | c0l2e: ok, use apache mod_proxy | 03:45 |
| c0l2e | I already created a dynDNS | 03:45 |
| c0l2e | ah | 03:45 |
| cornwall | kismet, what about your proxy settings for apt-get? | 03:45 |
| phix | c0l2e: setup a proxy pass from /webmail for example to go to your internal IP | 03:45 |
| kismet | how can i see the proxy settings for apt-get cornwall | 03:45 |
| c0l2e | hmm | 03:45 |
| phix | c0l2e: read up on mod_proxy, google for it :) | 03:46 |
| c0l2e | phix: can you give a hint?? | 03:46 |
| vigo | allow or deny | 03:46 |
| phix | or sudo apt-get install apache2-docs I think the name of it is | 03:46 |
| c0l2e | phix: I'm afraid I haven't use mod_proxy before | 03:46 |
| phix | c0l2e: I gave you a hint :) you want me to hold your hand and spoon feed you as well? :) | 03:46 |
| phix | c0l2e: so read up on it then | 03:46 |
| stuntshunter | could someone help me fix my xorg config? i have a outdated video card that supports 1024x768 16bit in windows, but hihgest i can get in linux is 800x600 | 03:46 |

| MindSpark | hi, nm-applet stopped working after I did an update, it sort of crashes and doesn't respond to anything, does anyone know of this issue ? | 03:46 |
| cornwall | kismet, I'm trying to remember :) | 03:47 |
| kismet | cornwall: thx ;) | 03:47 |
| phix | c0l2e: here is an example of it --> ProxyPass /threat http://threat.lan:80/ | 03:47 |
| phix | ProxyPassReverse /threat http://threat.lan:80/ | 03:47 |
| c0l2e | thanks | 03:48 |
| RockClimb | stuntshunter, read the xorg log file and see if it gives any errors | 03:48 |
| c0l2e | phix: can i do that inside a virtualhost?? | 03:48 |
| vigo | MindSpark: I have heard of this twice today, found a simple fix, run a LiveCD or get it from the deb mirrors. | 03:48 |
| phix | c0l2e: you need to ln -s /etc/apache2/mods-available/mod_proxy.* /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/ first though or something like that, you should really read the docs about it first though :) | 03:48 |
| phix | c0l2e: yes | 03:48 |
| phix | c0l2e: READ THE DOCS! | 03:48 |
| phix | :) | 03:48 |
| phix | It tells you all about it there | 03:48 |
| c0l2e | yeah I think i got those apache plugins/mod | 03:49 |

| stuntshunter | o i dont flood | 03:55 |
| mattwj2002 | how do I upgrade ubuntu only using a desktop cdrom that isn't the alternative version? | 03:55 |
| cornwall | kismet, I'm running out of ideas :). What does Synaptic's Network tab under preferences say? | 03:55 |
| phix | Sledger: why? | 03:55 |
| vigo | MindSpark: There are about 20 posts on that, may have to look for the one that you are comfortable with. | 03:55 |
| phix | Sledger: you want to add another hard disc image to it? | 03:55 |
| mattwj2002 | because there is no alternative version of mythbuntu | 03:55 |
| aniki | gentoo ftw | 03:55 |
| stuff | very weird issue: unless I move around the mouse during the starting of X I've connect to my eeepc - xserver will die and not start | 03:55 |
| phix | Sledger: for what purpose? | 03:55 |
| MindSpark | vigo, great, reading through the post | 03:55 |
| kismet | cornwall: where is that | 03:55 |
| stuntshunter | and sry bout typing like this but ihave keyboard off of the laptop and its on the mouse buttonsn wich im nottrynto use cause of secnodary mouse... | 03:56 |
| RockClimb | @$#% short task bar :) | 03:56 |
| stuff | any ideas would be great | 03:56 |
| phix | Sledger: you can just share a folder on your host OS if you want to access files on it | 03:56 |
| cornwall | System>Administration>Synaptic Package Manager | 03:56 |
| stuff | xserver also takes a while to start | 03:56 |

| mattwj2002 | these steps don't work for me | 03:56 |
| mattwj2002 | :( | 03:56 |
| phix | Sledger: i recommend you read the PDF file that comes with VirtualBox, it tells you how to use it, takes about 5 - 10min to read, will save you hrs of trying to guess how to use it | 03:56 |
| phix | throw new MrException(); | 03:57 |
| stuff | why would moving the mouse allow X not to die when starting? | 03:57 |
| phix | stuff: who knows | 03:57 |
| stuff | that's why I'm here | 03:57 |
| stuff | "who knows" | 03:57 |
| starcannon | mattwj2002 my favorite way to do upgrading is easiest when one has a separate /home partition; I just do a clean install of the version I want, and during the partition editor portion of the installer, I just relalbe, and then only format the /root partition. | 03:58 |
| phix | stuff: It sounds like that isn't the problem though :) | 03:58 |
| phix | stuff: just a coquinicidence (I can't spell)\ | 03:58 |
| Flannel | starcannon, mattwj2002: / not /root | 03:58 |
| vigo | MindSpark: Here is the Source from a Debian Repository: https://wiki.thayer.dartmouth.edu/display/linux/Ubuntu+nm-applet+Bug | 03:58 |
| mattwj2002 | okay | 03:58 |
| mattwj2002 | hmmm | 03:58 |
| mattwj2002 | maybe I should just do that | 03:58 |
| mattwj2002 | :) | 03:58 |
| mattwj2002 | it might be easier | 03:59 |
| mattwj2002 | :) | 03:59 |
| FloodBot3 | mattwj2002: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 03:59 |
| stuff | phix, what else could be | 03:59 |
| stuff | I did it with and without | 03:59 |
| Flannel | mattwj2002: But, upgrading should work just fine. What "doesn't work"? Do you get an error? | 03:59 |
| RockClimb | time log in as a new user so I can fix this taskbar problem | 03:59 |
| stuff | and moving it a lot is the only wway to get it to start | 03:59 |
| starcannon | Flannel yes I guess I should say it that way, just never sure how to keep a slash from getting lost in the chat text | 03:59 |
| stuff | otheriwse it dies | 03:59 |
| mattwj2002 | nope it just doesn't work with those commands | 03:59 |
| Flannel | mattwj2002: Are you on 8.10 right now? | 03:59 |
| mattwj2002 | yup | 03:59 |
| MindSpark | vigo, this is quite old, I am on karmic. is this still valid for me ? | 03:59 |
| mattwj2002 | see | 03:59 |
| frag | sigh... | 04:00 |
| mattwj2002 | there is no alternative cd for mythbuntu | 04:00 |
| Flannel | mattwj2002: Alright, try this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/JauntyUpgrades It's a bit more indepth | 04:00 |
| vigo | MindSpark: One moment then,, | 04:00 |
| starcannon | mattwj2002 its a pita if you have stuff already on your /home partition, but it makes it much easier for upgrading in the future, kinda a one time hassle so that you don't have to hassle again | 04:00 |
| Flannel | mattwj2002: And you're hoping to upgrade from the CD? | 04:00 |
| mattwj2002 | so I have to use the desktop cd and it doesn't work :( | 04:00 |
| Flannel | mattwj2002: No, you need the alternate CD. Grab an Ubuntu alternate CD. It'll work. | 04:00 |
| cornwall | kismet, did you find it? | 04:00 |
| stuntshunter | ok im back after using right process... | 04:00 |
| stuntshunter | here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/286670/ | 04:01 |
| mattwj2002 | no on second thought I think I'll just do a fresh install | 04:01 |
| mattwj2002 | :) | 04:01 |
| cornwall | kismet, System>Administration>Synaptic Package Manager | 04:01 |
| phix | stuff: your computer has a form of sexual deviancy and it is only letting you use it if you jack off its mouse | 04:01 |

| Res2216firestar | Quick question: How can I adjust my screen resolution from the command line? It is so low that I can't get to the apply button in the display prefs. | 04:01 |

| mattwj2002 | that is for 8.04 though | 04:01 |
| Flannel | mattwj2002: Oh, only for 8.04, nevermind. But yeah, just use the Ubuntu alt CD for the upgrade. | 04:01 |
| phix | stuff: hey just as feasiable as moving it to make it work in the first place :) | 04:01 |
| mattwj2002 | :O | 04:01 |
| stuff | ug | 04:01 |
| stuntshunter | rockclimb u there? | 04:01 |

| MindSpark | vigo, is that source ? do I have to compile ? | 04:02 |
| vigo | MindSpark: After compiling/installing you will want to Update and Upgrade. | 04:02 |

| Balrog | hello | 04:02 |
| Balrog | I'm having an issue with logins taking forever | 04:02 |
| Balrog | command line (at console, ssh, or with 'su - user') or graphical | 04:02 |
| Flannel | MindSpark: You're on Karmic? You should be asking in #ubuntu+1. It might be a known issue, with a proper workaround. | 04:03 |
| Balrog | this is on a system that was upgraded from 8.04 --> 8.10 --> 9.04 | 04:03 |
| Balrog | and I didn't see this issue until a few days ago | 04:03 |
| Balrog | any ideas? | 04:03 |
| Flannel | MindSpark: You shouldn't need to compile manually,no. Whatever fixes get made you'll see soon. | 04:03 |
| kismet | cornwall: there are no preference network... i can just see a list with all and there are all the packes which i installed | 04:03 |
| stuntshunter | could someone help me fix my xorg conf, my graphics card is soo ld that i guess its assigning a genreic driver, i cant get past 800x600, and i know its capable of more cause i can run it in windows at 1024x768 at 16bit | 04:03 |
| vigo | MindSpark that is the Source, is the GTK , but since you are on line you can also grab it from wget or Synaptics. | 04:03 |
| kismet | cornwall: sorrry | 04:03 |
| mattwj2002 | thanks guys for the help! | 04:04 |
| kismet | cornwall: i got it ... a little dumb... i use global menu thats why i didn't find it | 04:04 |
| cornwall | kismet, my bad, it's in Settings>Preferences>Network | 04:04 |
| Balrog | this seems to happen before /etc/profile is reached | 04:04 |
| mattwj2002 | :) | 04:04 |
| mattwj2002 | gtg | 04:04 |
| mattwj2002 | bye! | 04:04 |
| kismet | cornwall: yeah there is direct connection selected | 04:04 |
| cornwall | Balrog, have you messed with the CFQ? I changed mine to Deadline and I have to wait a little bit for GDM to be responsive | 04:04 |
| MindSpark | vigo, ok, I opened synaptic, can't find the package | 04:05 |
| Balrog | cornwall: not afaik | 04:05 |
| vigo | NM? | 04:05 |
| Balrog | and this happens not only with GDM but with CLI logins as well | 04:05 |
| Balrog | unless I'm root | 04:05 |
| Balrog | then it works fast | 04:05 |
| MenZa | !enter | Balrog | 04:05 |
| ubottu | Balrog: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 04:05 |
| Balrog | all right | 04:05 |
| Balrog | sorry about that :( | 04:05 |
| stuntshunter | help with xorg config plz, card so old that its using a generic driver that wont let me go past 800x600, and in windows i can get up to 1024x768 16bit | 04:06 |
| cornwall | kismet, this is baffling me. | 04:06 |
| vigo | MindSpark: Just type Network in the search of Synaptic, is like 4rth down. | 04:06 |
| kismet | cornwall: i know.. it is kind of a pain in the ass | 04:06 |
| MindSpark | vigo, network-manager-gnome ? | 04:06 |
| === xod is now known as onats | ||
| vigo | Sure | 04:06 |
| cornwall | kismet, is your network set to Automatic (DHCP)? | 04:07 |
| kismet | cornwall: should be.... | 04:07 |
| onats | whats the best IRC client to use? | 04:07 |
| kismet | cornwall: i didn't changed my wireless settings or any just made a encrypt | 04:07 |
| vigo | MindSpark: I am on Karmic Dev, mine just says Network-Manager | 04:08 |
| stuntshunter | personalyi like mirc | 04:08 |
| cornwall | onats, I'm happy with XChat | 04:08 |
| RockClimb | looks like the taskbar issue might be a bug or limitation of the window manager :( | 04:08 |
| archiebenedict | why does the apply buttong dissappear when i try to add encryption while setting up a wireless network? | 04:08 |
| stuntshunter | but alas im stuck with pidgin.. | 04:08 |
| MindSpark | vigo, both network-manager and network-manager-gnome are installed | 04:08 |
| cornwall | kismet, maybe you should try turning that off. Also, you might want to try wired | 04:09 |
| scunizi | stuntshunter: I just logged on .. why stuck with pidgin? What are you trying to connect to? | 04:09 |
| Sledger | A music messaging session has been requested. Please click the MM icon to accept. | 04:09 |
| phix | MenZa: That is sound advice | 04:09 |
| vigo | MindSpark: That is kinda what I thought, Now you just need or want the GUI applet or Launcher? | 04:09 |
| stuntshunter | ? | 04:09 |
| cornwall | kismet, but if your browser can go the the nets, apt-get should, too... so I don't understand why it isn't. Is your browser directly connecting to the internet, or are you using a proxy? | 04:09 |
| MindSpark | vigo, I am not sure what that is called :S | 04:09 |
| stuntshunter | i just using it cause i just reintalled os and it was convienient | 04:09 |
| scunizi | stuntshunter: for irc?.. | 04:10 |
| stuntshunter | yea | 04:10 |
| kismet | cornwall: my browser is connecting directly to the internet i tried before some proxy settings to access some us web pages... but it didn't work... | 04:10 |
| stuntshunter | i dont like the preinstalled clients | 04:10 |
| scunizi | stuntshunter: sudo apt-get install irssi :) | 04:10 |
| vigo | MindSpark: Lets take this to #ubuntu+1 so we are not mixing people up or whatever. | 04:10 |
| MindSpark | vigo, ok | 04:11 |
| stuntshunter | i would rather not, 300MHz laptop | 04:11 |
| Res2216firestar | never mind my question earlier, I'm going to try getting rid of the nvidia drivers | 04:11 |
| cornwall | kismet, have you tried wired? | 04:11 |
| scunizi | stuntshunter: irssi is light.. and cli only.. so it's really light :) | 04:11 |
| Res2216firestar | maybe that'll fix it | 04:11 |
| stuntshunter | takes a while to do anything | 04:11 |
| kismet | cornwall: wired? what is that | 04:11 |
| cornwall | kismet, Ethernet instead of wireless | 04:12 |
| jaja | hi to all. its my first time here. | 04:12 |

| stuntshunter | could someone help me configure my xorg conf file manually? my graphics card is so old it is defaulting with ageneric, and i cant get above 800x600, but in windows i can get upto 1024x768 at 16 bit | 04:14 |
| bostongeek24 | i am trying to upgrade to 9.10 beta but the upgrade aborts right in the middle | 04:14 |
| RockClimb | i didn't think compiz was a window manager | 04:14 |
| obadeh | mmm it probably isn't | 04:14 |
| thiebaude | stuntshunter, which card? | 04:14 |
| stuntshunter | chips and tech f69000 | 04:14 |

| bostongeek24 | can someone help me | 04:14 |
| thiebaude | stuntshunter, sorry, dont know about that | 04:15 |
| RockClimb | ah, gnome is the windo manager | 04:15 |
| obadeh | makes sense yeah | 04:15 |
| bostongeek24 | ? | 04:15 |
| obadeh | I think of gnome as more the desktop environment | 04:15 |
| stuntshunter | its b4 intel bought them out | 04:15 |
| stuntshunter | back in 90's atleast | 04:15 |

| thiebaude | eido, vesa is the default on a live cd | 04:24 |
| Ben_90 | how would i get the glx driver to work? | 04:24 |
| scunizi | Ben_90: open Synaptic Package manager and search for nvidia.. there are older drivers there.. also if you haven't done a complete system update it may not show up anyway.. sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 04:24 |

| obadeh | n8tuser, no | 04:35 |
| n8tuser | obadeh -> you have any firewall rulez active? | 04:35 |

| obadeh | I don't think so | 04:36 |

| scunizi | Ben_90: looks like they took it out of the Jaunty repositories.. you might have to get it direct from nvidia.. tricker to install that way. | 04:40 |
| homebrewcider | Apologies if this is a stupid question. If you had a 40g hdd in your linux computer, and added a 1tb hdd, when it comes to saving stuff, do you have to specify which hdd it goes on as in windows? OR, does it just increase the overall capacity of the computer? e.g. when the 40g filled up, it would spill over onto the 1tb | 04:40 |

| scunizi | midnightleutenan: thunderbird will do both | 04:44 |
| midnightleutenan | scunizi, Yeah, but how? | 04:45 |
| bastid_raZor | Sledger: you also have to make a mountpoint before you attempt to mount them. | 04:45 |
| n-iCe | laters | 04:45 |
| eido | trinium: how does that explain how a live boot works and the install does not, not trying to be a dick | 04:45 |

| midnightleutenan | scunizi, I believe it. There's no one saying that to people looking to learn, though. Everything is simplified and fed back to people as pablem. It may be what they want, but it makes me sad and angry. | 05:05 |
| calebH | webbb82: have you tried the gnome-main-menu package? It's like the SUSE menu... | 05:05 |
| scunizi | Exuro: even on windows virtualbox work great | 05:06 |
| Exuro | yeah, I think i'll go for that | 05:06 |
| stuntshunter | i need help, i tryd using xrandr with my settnigs from cvt, and it added it and all but when i hit select it in settings and hit apply the screen res stays the same | 05:06 |
| Ramides | Hello... I"m trying to get my Evolution Mail client configured to use my hotmail account, but I can't send email. If anyone's done this before, let me know. I've tried changing the encryption to TLS, bu tthat's not working. Is there another server i should be connecting to perhaps? Instead of smtp.live.com | 05:06 |
| scunizi | midnightleutenan: forget sad and angry.. be inquisitive :) | 05:06 |
| webbb82 | calebH: ya i just wanted something differant than the gnome menu | 05:06 |
| Exuro | scunizi, cheers :) | 05:06 |
| greg70 | Hello. | 05:06 |
| midnightleutenan | scunizi, Sometimes you have to know what questions to ask. ;) | 05:06 |
| greg70 | I am completely new (obvious) and thus won't understand much, but I have this problem: my monitor (unrecognized in xorg.conf) is stuck on one resolution. I can't change it without the display becoming shredded. Interestingly, I can't go *down* in resolution. | 05:07 |
| midnightleutenan | scunizi, Thanks again, though. | 05:07 |
| scunizi | midnightleutenan: glad to help :) | 05:07 |
| stuntshunter | same here | 05:07 |
| homebrewcider | will try that | 05:07 |
| stuntshunter | well sorta | 05:07 |
| calebH | webbb82: which "gnome menu" are you referring to? The "menu bar" you get with a default installation of ubuntu? | 05:07 |
| webbb82 | ya and any ones that come with ubuntu | 05:07 |
| bastid_raZor | Ramides: have you looked here? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingHotmailWithEvolution | 05:07 |
| jaja | anyone using a 4-port starfire/duralan nic | 05:07 |
| stuntshunter | greg70: what res is it stuck at? | 05:07 |
| greg70 | 1280x1024 if I remember | 05:08 |
| greg70 | O | 05:08 |
| calebH | well then, the "gnome-main-menu" package is not one of the ones that are pre-installed. Have you tried it? | 05:08 |
| stuntshunter | lucky, mines stuck at 800x600 | 05:08 |
| greg70 | I've had to reset it blind | 05:08 |
| mb_again_ | jaja: not sure about starfire, but I recently setup a cheapo 4 port | 05:08 |
| stuntshunter | my gfx card is so old its | 05:08 |
| greg70 | I guess it's better, but the monitor is not large so the text is too small in Firefox | 05:08 |
| bastid_raZor | Sledger: after you have made the changes you can verify that they work by typing sudo mount -a ..if the drive mounts then it will mount on reboot also | 05:08 |
| greg70 | and other apps | 05:08 |
| stuntshunter | uh try super+ scroll maybe | 05:09 |
| stuntshunter | wont help much | 05:09 |
| stuntshunter | but maybe its useful... | 05:09 |
| calebH | webbb82: well then, the "gnome-main-menu" package is not one of the ones that are pre-installed. Have you tried it? | 05:09 |
| tj83 | anyone else have flash working but some functions missing that are present under windows? for instance, my GF uses facebook a ton and some apps that scroll vertical can in windows but not in linux, i have installed the latest flash... any ideas? what other popular browsers are there besides firefox? | 05:09 |
| stuntshunter | wait what distro you on | 05:09 |
| greg70 | super+scroll? | 05:10 |
| webbb82 | ya i tried it befor | 05:10 |
| HeckleJeckle | tj83: there is opera and chrome | 05:10 |
| stuntshunter | uh windows logo on keyboard pluf scroll on mouse | 05:10 |
| archiebenedict | 1337 nicks | 05:10 |
| greg70 | I? 9.04 | 05:10 |
| calebH | tj83: I've had that same problem before - just click on a non-flash part of the page and you can scroll again | 05:10 |
| greg70 | Ok. | 05:10 |
| greg70 | Will try it now. | 05:10 |
| stuntshunter | ok that may work as a bad solution | 05:10 |
| stuntshunter | ul be able to zoom | 05:10 |
| stuntshunter | but not change res | 05:11 |
| greg70 | ctrl + works for that. | 05:11 |
| HeckleJeckle | is there and ubuntu one client for windows | 05:11 |
| stuntshunter | o... | 05:11 |
| mb_again_ | jaja: whats your issue? | 05:11 |
| jaja | mb_again: my NIC always having a timeout | 05:11 |
| greg70 | but super + scroll = scroll | 05:11 |
| stuntshunter | hmm maybe u hav eto do super+r first | 05:11 |
| tj83 | calebH, well i mean the scroll bar is not even displayed. | 05:12 |
| greg70 | And there's another work around: Firefox lets you specify minimum fonts | 05:12 |
| stuntshunter | idk, i just know i accidently enabled that recently and it bugged me so bad till i randomly scrolled with key like that | 05:12 |
| MenZa | HeckleJeckle: No. | 05:12 |
| calebH | tj83: that's weird. | 05:12 |
| greg70 | cool--neat to find things like that | 05:12 |
| jaja | mb_again: netdev always resets the nic because of timeouts | 05:12 |
| calebH | tj83: example web page? | 05:12 |
| HeckleJeckle | Too bad. Im really loving it | 05:12 |
| MenZa | HeckleJeckle: Heh. Tell Canonical to develop one, then. ;) | 05:13 |
| tj83 | calebH, well, if you have facebook, farmtown in the store | 05:13 |
| greg70 | How about the Geforce 6200? thinking of upgrading card from Radeon 9200 | 05:13 |
| tj83 | calebH, also myspace's "green spot" does not scale objects | 05:13 |
| scunizi | greg70: 6000 series works good | 05:13 |

| calebH | tj83: no FB or MySpace for me, sorry. | 05:13 |
| HeckleJeckle | is the client open source? | 05:13 |
| Bill_gatesIII | windows is better | 05:13 |
| mb_again_ | jaja: sometimes there is no linux tool to fine tune the chips, you may be able to download bootable utilities to adjust/test it. Lots of nics have offload stuff these days, could be the nic is working too hard and just cant keep up | 05:14 |
| stuntshunter | could someone help me, i tried usng xrandr with the newmode and such and got my mode in using settings from cvt and its in my screen res chooser now, but i hit apply and res stays the same, help? | 05:14 |

| ubottu | stuntshunter: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. | 05:18 |
| calebH | tj83: whoa, that is weird. Are you using flash from the repos or downloaded & installed from adobe's website? Are you running 32bit or 64bit? | 05:18 |
| Myth` | Hey guys I need your help. I am trying to compare two folders strictly based on file name and copy the files found in folder1 but not folder2 to folder 3. | 05:19 |

| maestrojed | I am building a test web server using Ubuntu. My production server has accounts with the webroot /home/%username%/public_html. I can set these using virtualhost. But I see Ubuntu already creates accounts in /home. Would this be a problem? Are sym links a better way to go? | 05:19 |
| Myth` | Should I use diff to do this? | 05:19 |
| Ramides | bastid_RaZor: Hey, I just got it with port 587. Thanks a ton! | 05:19 |
| tj83 | calebH, actually i tried both, but i just fixed it... look at last post at that URL | 05:19 |
| bastid_raZor | Ramides: cool, glad it worked. | 05:19 |
| stuntshunter | sry, im a teenager stuck with oldlaptop cause my hard drive needs replacing on my decent laptop so im getting anxious on getting it to run better, if it helps im not actually running ubuntu, but idk y but the debian channel says im abnned and i have barely ever gone there | 05:19 |

| greg70 | Thanks for the hardware links! | 05:20 |
| MenZa | maestrojed: By default, apache2 in Ubuntu creates no user accounts. It sticks it in /var/www/ - and you can then create VirtualHosts in subfolders there. By default, though, the webserver points to /var/www/. | 05:20 |

| greg70 | true, sorry. Thanks again! | 05:23 |
| Myth` | How can I compare folder1 > folder2 and copy files missing in folder2 to folder3 | 05:23 |
| maestrojed | MenZa: I was considering changed Apache2's setting to make its dir /home. and then I would create/mirror the directory structure on my production server and assign virtualhosts to the appropriate directory. I just don't want to bud up against Ubuntu's account directories. Though they should never over lap | 05:23 |
| stuntshunter | sweet i didnt insult anyone | 05:23 |

| dandaman | grub loading, please wait... | 05:23 |

| calebH | Myth`: do you mean image-only pdfs, and pdfs with embedded text? | 05:25 |
| shepherd | menza: to share files between computers | 05:25 |
| stuntshunter | tip: fony use tthe defragger on windows 7 rc1, i have to buy a new hard drive because of it | 05:25 |

| calebH | Myth`: yup. you? | 05:26 |
| Myth` | calebH: Yeah. | 05:26 |
| dandaman | so can i fix this grub issue without referring to my windows cd? | 05:26 |
| shepherd | menza: does ubuntu server 8.04 lts not have a graphical interface? also windows pcs will be compatable with ubuntu right? | 05:26 |
| dandaman | i have the ubuntu 9.04 cd | 05:26 |

| === Guest93517 is now known as ogr3 | ||
| MenZa | shepherd: You can setup samba shares to share files with Windows, yes. By default, server is very similar to the Desktop version, except it doesn't have a graphical interface. | 05:27 |
| calebH | Myth`: and use Adobe's batch processing? | 05:27 |
| Myth` | calebH: yeah, then consolidate all PDF's to such directory (folder1) and compare against native files (folder2) | 05:27 |
| Myth` | calebH: Is rsync applicable in this situation? | 05:27 |
| ewb | can you run osx in a VM on ubuntu | 05:28 |
| shepherd | menza: so its all terminal? | 05:28 |
| MenZa | shepherd: Correct. Like I said, the main difference is that it comes without a graphical user interface. It's easy to deploy the same packages on the Desktop version, which has a GUI. | 05:28 |
| scunizi | ewb: won't be easy. .. osx is tied somwhat to it's hardware | 05:28 |
| calebH | Myth`: rsync will compare files in dir1 vs dir2 and sync them. Good for keeping dirs sync'd too, cuz it will only transfer the diffs between files | 05:29 |
| Myth` | calebH: Hmm, not exactly what I'm looking for but I could sort by date modified | 05:29 |

| stuntshunter | they make mIRC for linux? i never looked into it when i got it for windows | 05:40 |
| Biovore | no | 05:40 |
| lstarnes | stuntshunter: mirc can be run in wine | 05:40 |
| bastidrazor | homebrewcider: after you make the changes and save the file do a sudo mount -a .. hopefully no errors. | 05:40 |
| stuntshunter | yea but its a trial, good point though | 05:40 |
| Biovore | kvirc / xchat are good linux native ones.. | 05:40 |
| scunizi | stuntshunter: or you can join the irssi crowd :) | 05:40 |
| Biovore | or irssi if you like termnial work.. | 05:41 |

| phaidonx | Hi. I am trying to restore my data since my HD has failed. I have a new HD and I've installed ubuntu on it. I am in the process of using SBackup to 'restore' all of the files from an external HD to /bckup/* . My question is can I after that boot with a live CD and do cp /bkcup/home /home (and repeat for /usr /var /etc) then boot normally into ubuntu? will all my programs be restored? what about the kernel? (I think my bckup has an older | 05:43 |
| bastidrazor | homebrewcider: pastebin your /etc/fstab again. | 05:44 |
| Blackbird | I'm configuring a wired connection manually, and regardless of what I change the netmask to, it always auto-changes it to 192.0.0.0 as soon as I go back to the config window | 05:44 |
| Blackbird | Why is it doing this? | 05:44 |
| andry_ | Pidgin not connet ymasenenger any know? | 05:45 |
| Sledger | joe@joe-desktop:~/Download$ ccd2iso ubuntu-9.04-netbook-remix-i386.img ubunturemix | 05:45 |
| Sledger | Unrecognized sector mode (0) at sector 0! | 05:45 |
| cfedde | Blackbird: probably NetworkManager. | 05:45 |
| Blackbird | And I can fix this how, cfedde? | 05:45 |
| Sledger | losha: joe@joe-desktop:~/Download$ ccd2iso ubuntu-9.04-netbook-remix-i386.img ubunturemix | 05:45 |
| Sledger | Unrecognized sector mode (0) at sector 0! | 05:45 |
| Sledger | all sata drives.. | 05:46 |
| bastidrazor | Sledger: isn't the netbook remix meant to be put on an sd drive? | 05:46 |
| homebrewcider | http://pastebin.ca/1596808 | 05:46 |
| Sledger | yes bastid | 05:46 |
| cfedde | Blackbird: you can read through the NetworkManager man page and try to piece it together. | 05:47 |
| Sledger | Unetbootin will not read .img files | 05:47 |
| Blackbird | *sigh* | 05:47 |
| Blackbird | Dunno why it didn't do that on this one. | 05:47 |
| n8tuser | Blackbird -> can you pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces file ? | 05:48 |
| bastidrazor | http://pastebin.ca/1596811 homebrewcider try this change. | 05:48 |
| bastidrazor | homebrewcider: is it fat32 or fat16? | 05:48 |
| homebrewcider | 32 | 05:48 |
| bastidrazor | homebrewcider: sudo mount -a again after the changes and save.. that should be the fix. | 05:49 |
| phaidonx | anyone? | 05:49 |
| losha | Sledger: According to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UNR/Installation/Hard, you should have downloaded the .iso instead of the .img, instead of spending days trying (unsuccessfully) to convert from one to the other. How about it? | 05:49 |
| homebrewcider | trying now | 05:50 |
| Blackbird | n0tuser: I don't even need to pastebin, it's only two lines. "auto lo iface lo inet loopback" | 05:50 |
| Sledger | yeah.. | 05:50 |
| andry_ | pidgin can connet ymassenger ? any 1 know? | 05:50 |
| Somniferous15 | my pci network2 is unclaimed. how do i change this? | 05:50 |
| Sledger | andry_: yes | 05:50 |
| bastidrazor | !Y | andry_ | 05:51 |
| ubottu | andry_: U is the 21st letter of the modern latin alphabet. Neither 'U' or 'Ur' are words in the English language. Nor are 'R', 'Y', 'l8', 'Ne1' or 'Bcuz'. Mangled English is hard for non-native English speakers. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/abbreviations/ for more information. | 05:51 |
| Berzerker | andrerobot, yup | 05:51 |
| bastidrazor | !yahoo | andry_ sorry | 05:51 |
| ubottu | andry_ sorry: At the moment there are many pidgin users experiencing problems connecting to Yahoo IM, you can try changing your paging server to cn.scs.msg.yahoo.com (port 5050) and see if that helps. | 05:51 |
| homebrewcider | nope, no go | 05:51 |
| fragmonkee | ah ok, i guess my cd burner didnt much care for the .iso | 05:51 |
| losha | bastidrazor: so how long has *that* ubottu canned message been valid...? | 05:52 |
| fragmonkee | now its working | 05:52 |
| homebrewcider | I've had a gutful of this | 05:52 |
| homebrewcider | I'm about ready to remove the smaller hdd and just go with the one | 05:52 |
| andry_ | i have try cn.scs ..... but not work | 05:52 |
| Somniferous15 | can anyone tell me how to change my pci network2 status from UCLAIMED | 05:52 |
| Blackbird | Er. n8tuser: The file consists entirely of "auto lo iface lo inet loopback". That's it. | 05:52 |
| Ben_90 | how do i install .run files in ubuntu? | 05:53 |
| losha | Ben_90: depends. What is it and where did it come from? | 05:53 |
| bastidrazor | homebrewcider: sorry, you could repost your question with the links.. i have to sleep. 7am comes early. | 05:53 |
| Ben_90 | it'S AN nvidia driver for linux | 05:54 |
| Ben_90 | \an* | 05:54 |
| Ben_90 | an* | 05:54 |
| n8tuser | Blackbird -> now look at whats leased to your nic, under /var/lib/dhcp3/dhclient.eth0.leases | 05:54 |
| GodfatherofEire | Quick question: What's the canonical (no pun intended) pronunciation of Ubuntu? | 05:54 |
| homebrewcider | thanks for you help | 05:54 |
| Ben_90 | !ubuntu | 05:54 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com | 05:54 |
| Geoffrey2 | hey folks, I can't get my freshly installed copy of xubuntu to connect to my wireless router..... | 05:55 |
| Ben_90 | !support | 05:55 |
| ubottu | The official ubuntu support channel is #ubuntu. Also see http://ubuntu.com/support and http://ubuntuforums.org | 05:55 |
| losha | Ben_90: then it's probably a shell script. You can usually just do: bash file.run | 05:55 |
| losha | GodfatherofEire: that's a faq. Google it... | 05:55 |
| Geoffrey2 | it's a laptop, previously had ubuntu on it, and it connected fine....I did a new install of xubuntu, set up the device driver....it tries to connect, then requests the password, which I've already provided.... | 05:55 |
| YellowOnion | anyone here no much about xkb?, I'm getting a really non-verbose error about the a keyboard layout not working | 05:55 |
| Blackbird | n8tuser: ...Didn't I say I was configuring manually? Because I am. No DHCP involved. | 05:55 |
| Blackbird | n8tuser: It still auto-changes netmask to 192.0.0.0 no matter what. | 05:55 |
| Ben_90 | the shell scrpit is 10.8 mb long | 05:55 |
| Somniferous15 | can anyone help me? my ethernet interface is *-network DISABLED. i think changing that may let my wireless work | 05:56 |
| axilem | sg h help | 05:56 |
| n8tuser | Blackbird -> where are you configuring this manually? how? what is your command? | 05:56 |
| dandaman | damnit need help with this grub error 21 | 05:56 |
| dandaman | nothing is helping | 05:56 |
| losha | Ben_90: that's because buried inside it is a bunch of applications. What does 'file file.run' say about it? | 05:56 |
| GodfatherofEire | losha, just asked cause I was on irc anyway | 05:56 |
| Ben_90 | the only error in grub i know of is error 5 | 05:57 |
| Blackbird | ..With the basic network config in the upper-right corner of the screen on usual ubuntu, n8tuser? | 05:57 |
| Ben_90 | thanks losha you just confused me. | 05:57 |
| Blackbird | All I'm doing is changing the netmask to something different, yet it changes it back. Everything else stays as I configure it. | 05:57 |
| losha | GodfatherofEire: I know, but if everyone did that, we'd never get to the difficult stuff... | 05:57 |
| n8tuser | Blackbird -> i dont use a gui, so i dont what you've got | 05:57 |
| n8tuser | Blackbird -> i dont use a gui, so i dont know* what you've got | 05:58 |
| Blackbird | n8tuser: Oh. Dreadfully sorry. | 05:58 |
| Blackbird | n8tuser: What would be the best text-based one then? I honestly wouldn't mind using it so long as it gave me control... | 05:58 |
| losha | Ben_90: then keep asking questions until it's clear... | 05:58 |
| GodfatherofEire | losha, true | 05:58 |
| n8tuser | Blackbird -> if you are configuring manually, then you should use the interfaces file i mentioned, man interfaces | 05:58 |

| fragmonkee | hi!! | 06:01 |
| sari | how are u | 06:01 |
| sari | ? | 06:01 |
| cylex | it must be the language settings | 06:01 |
| fragmonkee | me? | 06:01 |
| Blackbird | n8tuser: ...Turns out I was putting in netmask where gateway should go. Which is odd, since it's reversed (with the same names) in Windows. | 06:01 |

| Somniferous15 | how do i enable my wireless network | 06:02 |
| YellowOnion | dandaman: did you try reinstalling grub? | 06:02 |
| Blackbird | However, it still won't connect. | 06:02 |
| cylex | maestrojed: If your isp blocks port 80 or you are behind the router then you need to open it. Otherwise Ubuntu doesn't block it by default through some firewall or something. | 06:02 |
| Blackbird | I think that I did it right, but... | 06:02 |
| Blackbird | I'll see. | 06:02 |
| Somniferous15 | i know its under pci2, but that all. any help? | 06:02 |

| maestrojed | istarnes and cylex: ok thanks, I just assumed. If I am building a test web server should I be closing ports | 06:04 |
| maestrojed | ? | 06:04 |
| Flannel | YellowOnion: If you don't know the package, then you can file it here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug/?no-redirect | 06:04 |
| lstarnes | maestrojed: probably not | 06:04 |
| Ben_90 | losha? | 06:04 |
| cylex | maestrojed: only way port opens is if some application is going to use it for something. | 06:05 |
| jota-- | Biovore, having SSH on hosts.device prevents you from logining directly to a TTY? | 06:05 |
| losha | maestrojed: if it's sitting on the internet, then yes... | 06:05 |

| Ben_90 | the name is : "nvidia-linux-x86-71.86.11-pkg1.run" | 06:05 |

| Ben_90 | thay won't work | 06:06 |
| losha | Ben_90: so first, type file nvidia-linux-x86-71.86.11-pkg1.run and tell me what it says | 06:06 |

| Ben_90 | command not found | 06:07 |
| sari | not very good | 06:07 |
| sari | I try it | 06:07 |
| Biovore | jota--: you change your shell or something else? | 06:08 |
| Dr_Willis | Ben_90: use the tab key to 'complete' the proper complete name. :) sudo nv<tab> spelling and case is imporntant. | 06:08 |
| cylex | dandaman: I would tell u to try pressing F12 and then selecting the proper harddrive | 06:08 |
| sari | 9.04 very gd | 06:08 |
| dandaman | i have been doing that | 06:08 |
| losha | Ben_90: sigh. I might've guessed. Ok, do ls -l nvidia-linux-x86-71.86.11-pkg1.run | 06:08 |
| cylex | dandaman: is it installed using windows? | 06:08 |
| dandaman | ive tried booting from each hard drive | 06:08 |
| dandaman | when i boot from the ubuntu boot it says grub | 06:08 |
| dandaman | and just sits there not doing anything | 06:08 |
| jota-- | I haven't made any changes in a while Biovore | 06:08 |
| sari | :D | 06:08 |
| Dr_Willis | Ben_90: and if i recall - the nvidia stuff wants to be ran/installed while X is not running. You need to run it as root, from a console. | 06:08 |
| dandaman | cylex: no, i booted from CD and installed from the CD | 06:08 |
| jota-- | and I have never modified hosts.deny | 06:09 |
| dandaman | then i tried installing from a live session | 06:09 |
| dandaman | i got the same problem | 06:09 |
| Geoffrey2 | is there a command to try and connect to a wireless router from the command line? | 06:09 |
| Ben_90 | how in heck do i run it as root? | 06:09 |
| Exuro | type "sudo" before command | 06:09 |
| hans | what's the package I need to install (for ubuntu) to for mp3 support? | 06:09 |
| Biovore | jota--: I am out of ideas.. | 06:09 |
| cylex | Ben_90: sudo passwd root | 06:09 |
| lstarnes | cylex: no! | 06:09 |
| n8tuser | Geoffrey2 -> yes, you can try sudo dhclient wlan0 | 06:09 |
| Geoffrey2 | some way that I can see what's going on that the connection keeps getting refused | 06:09 |
| lstarnes | Ben_90: use sudo | 06:09 |
| cylex | Ben_90: then u can run as root | 06:09 |
| jota-- | I do get security updates automatically maybe one of those updates screwed something up? | 06:09 |
| cylex | Ben_90: or sudo su | 06:09 |
| maco | Ben_90: you jsut run "sudo <command>" | 06:09 |
| wolfie1 | how can I create an user? | 06:09 |
| sari | sudo su | 06:09 |
| lstarnes | Ben_90: do not use cylex's command. setting a root password is not necessary and isn't recommended | 06:10 |
| sari | :D | 06:10 |
| sari | yup | 06:10 |
| lstarnes | sudo -i is preferred over sudo su | 06:10 |
| wolfie1 | adduser "user" | 06:10 |
| wolfie1 | but I need that user to be able to be a sudoer | 06:10 |
| wolfie1 | ???? | 06:10 |
| sari | :D | 06:10 |
| Biovore | jota--: no.. you have to run a apt-get update / apt-get upgrade or one of the other tools to get updates.. | 06:10 |
| maco | sari: "sudo su -" better than "sudo su" but why not just use "sudo -i"? | 06:10 |
| lstarnes | wolfie1: add the user to the admin group after creating | 06:10 |
| Ben_90 | damn it | 06:10 |
| wolfie1 | how do I do that istarnes? | 06:10 |

| Geoffrey2 | this is frustrating....laptop connected without problems when I had ubuntu on it, replace it with xubuntu, and all of a sudden it refuses to connect to the router..... | 06:12 |
| mblues | hans: just this one unfortunately (the one I want to nuke) and this MAC machine - i suppose i could enable FTP on this mac - but it not detecting the partitions is making me a bit nervous about the overall install failing | 06:13 |
| p1ckLe | Hello, I just installed ubuntu, and everything was running fine. I installed the updates; I reboot, and now it says "Code: Bad EIP Value, Kernel Panic - not syncing; Fatal exception in interupt" | 06:13 |
| owen1 | how to upgrade to karmic from the terminal? | 06:13 |
| mblues | also, when i boot the liveCD nautilius crashes, and complains of a broken "error report" (not sure how relevant that is) | 06:13 |
| hans | mblues: but do you have access to a working MS OS? If so, google "bootitng" and create a USB/CD startup disk and try using that to boot into windows to back your file up | 06:13 |
| Ben_90 | sorry to be rude but F*** it , im switching to Debian Lenny | 06:14 |
| cylex | dandaman: what error number you get, or what error msg u get | 06:14 |
| kermit | Ben_90: well, i guess we'll disband then | 06:14 |
| sari | brb | 06:14 |
| cylex | owen1: update-manager -d | 06:14 |
| Ben_90 | good night | 06:14 |
| mblues | i can still boot into windows ;) just don't have a good way to backup, and was hoping to be able to simply copy over the data from a "backup partition" :) | 06:14 |
| Geoffrey2 | owen1, given Karmic hasn't even hit RC yet, you might want to wait a few more weeks | 06:14 |
| cylex | owen1: Geoffrey2 is right, its buggy | 06:15 |
| dandaman | cylex: error 21 | 06:15 |
| dandaman | Grub error 21 | 06:15 |
| hans | mblues: have you installed ubuntu on the machine you want to nuke? | 06:15 |
| owen1 | cylex: thanks. isn't there a way without opening UI elements? | 06:15 |
| losha | Ben_90: If you can't summon the patience to run a shell script, you won't be any happier with Debian. Try Mint... | 06:15 |
| owen1 | Geoffrey2: got it | 06:15 |
| mblues | not yet, but apparently something i did just made windows freak out ;) so it looks like i'm about to install ubuntu | 06:15 |
| sari | I will sleep now | 06:15 |
| sari | see ya | 06:15 |
| cylex | owen1: yes, it would work the same way.. except you are in GUI mode so it does that | 06:15 |
| p1ckLe | Hello, I just installed ubuntu, and everything was running fine. I installed the updates; I reboot, and now it says "Code: Bad EIP Value, Kernel Panic - not syncing; Fatal exception in interupt" | 06:16 |
| cylex | dandaman: you have to fix your mbr, are you running xp? | 06:16 |
| mblues | odd, i made no changes to the partition - i don't think ubuntu liveCD did - oh well, bye bye windows - thanks for nothing! :P | 06:16 |
| dandaman | im running windows 7 release candidate | 06:16 |
| hans | mblues: install ubuntu using minimal space from startup disk, NOT wubi. once installed, reboot from live CD. kill everything on your windows partition except what you wanna back up, resize the new free space to ubuntu, move the backed up files to ubuntu, then kill the rest of the windows space and resize the whole disk to ubuntu | 06:17 |
| dandaman | i tried doing http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=622828 | 06:17 |
| losha | p1ckLe: which version? | 06:17 |
| cylex | dandaman: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=62717 <-- try this one | 06:17 |
| dandaman | but it says it cant find the package ms-sys | 06:17 |
| obadeh | hm okay I'm getting spike lags every 2 mins on the second | 06:17 |
| p1ckLe | losha: the latest from the website, 9.whatever | 06:17 |
| obadeh | on my wifi card | 06:17 |
| obadeh | any idea what it could be? | 06:17 |
| losha | p1ckLe: er, the .whatever matters. Which is it? | 06:18 |
| ooypp3 | /server linuxsir.org/6667 | 06:18 |
| p1ckLe | losha: 9.04 | 06:18 |
| cylex | dandaman: ok, do you have xp cd near by, but do know that this will wipe out your entire comp | 06:18 |
| mblues | hans: ok, i'm booting off of the CD to install now, i hope the data is there ;) would be nice to have my mp3s - but i think it's going to get nuked when i partition the disk | 06:18 |
| mohanohi | hi guys... i accidently deleted my ntfs partition... Is there any tool in ubuntu to recover it? | 06:18 |
| mblues | problem is, it doesn't detect the windows partition | 06:18 |
| dandaman | i cant wipe out my computer | 06:18 |
| dandaman | i have things on it i need | 06:18 |
| dandaman | and i dont have time to back shit up | 06:18 |
| obadeh | gpart will let you scan the drive to find partition boundaries | 06:18 |
| losha | p1ckLe: do you know if it installed a new kernel? If it did, you should be able to boot to the previous kernel... | 06:19 |
| dandaman | i need to get it fixed tonight | 06:19 |
| obadeh | then you can use fdisk to restore it | 06:19 |
| hans | mblues: do you mean it won't as in the startup disk doesn't detect windows? | 06:19 |
| cylex | dandaman: hmm | 06:19 |
| mohanohi | obadeh: is it for me? | 06:19 |
| mblues | hans: correct, neither liveCD mode or installer itself | 06:19 |
| obadeh | mohanohi, yes sorry | 06:19 |
| jeeves_Moss | how do I install prepflog.pl? | 06:19 |
| p1ckLe | losha: i attempted to go to the menu and load to the different kernel, but i get the same errors. honestly, i dont know if it installed another one or not. new to this and didnt think to look on the list of updates. | 06:19 |
| Berzerker | dandaman, what's the problem? | 06:19 |
| mohanohi | obadeh: fdisk in ubuntu? | 06:19 |
| hans | mblues: oh. ok. short of an external HDD or burning to a DVD then, you're screwed. | 06:19 |
| mblues | now attempting to boot back into windows throws an error as if the partition has been sacked - i doubt the data will be there ;) | 06:19 |
| hans | :p | 06:19 |
| mblues | yep | 06:19 |
| maestrojed | I need a file server in Ubuntu. I have used Samba in the past. But reading its description it might be overkill (I don't need windows domain stuff, etc.). Is there a better option? Its not build in is it? | 06:19 |
| Biovore | jeeves_Moss: its a script.. run it.. perl prepflog.pl | 06:19 |
| mblues | ;) | 06:19 |
| obadeh | mohanohi, yeah | 06:19 |
| Geoffrey2 | I'm beginning to think switching to xubuntu was a bad idea....shoulda stuck with ubuntu......it worked, at least | 06:19 |
| mohanohi | obadeh: gparted shows unknown partition.. | 06:19 |
| hans | sorry man, I'm out if ideas. maybe someone else will have one | 06:19 |
| mblues | it | 06:20 |
| obadeh | mohanohi, how did you delete it? | 06:20 |
| dandaman | berzerker: i have 2 hard drives, one with windows 7 rc and another with ubuntu 9.04 that i just installed | 06:20 |
| mblues | it's alright, just music i can recover | 06:20 |
| jeeves_Moss | Biovore, thanks | 06:20 |
| obadeh | mohanohi, there's a diff between gparted and gpart | 06:20 |
| mohanohi | obadeh: while installing windows | 06:20 |
| Berzerker | dandaman, yup | 06:20 |
| dandaman | when i load up windows 7 i get grub error 21 | 06:20 |
| mblues | i hope that ubuntu has a good (binary) usenet reader ;) | 06:20 |
| mohanohi | obadeh: oh.. | 06:20 |
| obadeh | mohanohi, how'd it happen? | 06:20 |
| jeeves_Moss | Biovore, I'm trying to use it with SWStats to get my mail | 06:20 |
| dandaman | when i load up ubuntu it says grub and sits there | 06:20 |
| losha | p1ckLe: if you're a newbie, 9.04 is not a great choice. 8.04 is a much better first time OS as its much more stable... | 06:20 |
| obadeh | mohanohi, msg me? | 06:20 |
| Biovore | jeeves_Moss: get your mail from here? | 06:21 |
| mohanohi | obadeh: i had 2 hard drive.. | 06:21 |
| Biovore | (where) | 06:21 |
| cylex | dandaman: ok restore win7 mbr, and don't install it as mbr, just let it do the regular install, and install it in same partitioned place so you don't wipe out win7, here's the link to fix the mbr: http://www.ehow.com/how_4836283_repair-mbr-windows.html# | 06:21 |
| p1ckLe | losha: thanks. had no idea.. lol. | 06:21 |
| hans | and for future reference, the package I was asking about is "libxine1-ffmpeg", which is required to play mp3's in amarok | 06:21 |
| mohanohi | obadeh: instead of installing on another hard drive, i partitioned the 500 gb hard drive.. | 06:21 |
| cylex | place = please | 06:21 |
| dandaman | here's another problem | 06:21 |
| losha | p1ckLe: yeah, we don't tell people that until 9.04 flakes out... | 06:21 |
| dandaman | when i try to boot from the windows 7 cd | 06:21 |
| dandaman | it says booting from cd | 06:22 |
| dandaman | gives up | 06:22 |
| dandaman | then goes to the next boot option | 06:22 |
| dandaman | which is my windows 7 boot | 06:22 |
| hans | hah. good luck with windows 7 dandaman. | 06:22 |
| jeeves_Moss | Biovore, no, I have a v-hostes postfix server, and I keep getting http://pastebin.ca/1596867 | 06:22 |
| hans | anytime I try and reboot from Nix to Win7, it takes me between 4 and 11 reboots | 06:22 |
| Berzerker | dandaman, did you put DIRECTLY to the CD via the boot menu? | 06:22 |
| cylex | dandaman: try restoring the partition, looks like you either over wrote windows or, mbr is broken :( | 06:22 |
| Berzerker | boot* | 06:22 |
| dandaman | Berzerker: yes | 06:22 |
| mblues | hans: part of the reason i am done with windows 7 ;() | 06:22 |
| cylex | dandaman: try this: http://www.ehow.com/how_4836283_repair-mbr-windows.html# | 06:23 |
| dandaman | cylex: i didnt overwrite the boot, i made sure i put ubuntu on my new hd | 06:23 |
| ooypp3 | where can i get help about LFS | 06:23 |
| === cellofellow is now known as cellofellow|slee | ||
| Berzerker | dandaman, what happens when you try to boot off the Windows 7 CD? | 06:23 |
| === cellofellow|slee is now known as cellofellowsleep | ||
| hans | mblues: if only I didn't *need* to use AutoCAD software that WINE cannot even comprehend, let alone run | 06:23 |
| Berzerker | dandaman, it should say "press any key to boot from CD or DVD...." | 06:23 |
| dandaman | it doesnt | 06:23 |
| dandaman | it just says booting from cd | 06:23 |
| Berzerker | do you have more than 1 CD drive? | 06:23 |
| dandaman | i have one | 06:24 |
| dandaman | but i could throw another on there | 06:24 |
| hans | dandaman: did you verify CS after burning? | 06:24 |
| hans | CD* | 06:24 |
| losha | jeeves_Moss: looks like you are missing Date/Calc.pm which is a perl module. It *ought* to have been installed automatically as a dependency. You can try installing it by hand... | 06:24 |
| Berzerker | I was going to make sure you're choosing the right one | 06:24 |
| dandaman | hans: i used it to install windows 7 | 06:24 |
| dandaman | and it worked | 06:24 |
| jeeves_Moss | losha, ok, how do I do that? | 06:24 |
| hans | dandaman: was it scratched between now and then? | 06:24 |
| dandaman | hans: nope | 06:24 |
| jeeves_Moss | losha, I think once it's installed, the problems will go away. I've tested the rest of the script, and it's only getting caught on this one section | 06:25 |
| Berzerker | dandaman, you hit F11 on boot and it use the CD drive option? it should work if you do that, that has no interaction with GRUB | 06:25 |
| dandaman | Berzerker: correct | 06:25 |
| money | when is 9.10 out? | 06:25 |
| money | heh | 06:25 |
| money | jw | 06:25 |
| Berzerker | money, 29th | 06:25 |
| dandaman | but something might be fucked with my bios | 06:25 |
| cylex | Berzerker: he gets error 21, which is mbr error | 06:25 |
| Berzerker | money, RC on Windows 7 day. | 06:25 |
| dandaman | im juust not sure because im booting off ubuntu cd | 06:25 |
| money | why does it always have to be the end of the month? | 06:25 |
| money | lame | 06:25 |
| maestrojed | Is samba my best choice for a basic file server? | 06:25 |
| losha | jeeves_Moss: run apt-cache search perl | egrep -i calc Do you see something like libdate-calc-perl ? | 06:25 |
| Berzerker | cylex, but booting off the boot menu from the BIOS has nothing to do with GRUB | 06:25 |
| kermit | ubuntu should ask at install if you want to share your free cpu to cure diseases or something | 06:25 |
| money | nope | 06:25 |
| money | fuck that | 06:25 |
| money | how is that even possible? | 06:25 |
| Flannel | money: Please mind your language. | 06:25 |
| cylex | Berzerker: I am thinking he might of installed ubuntu on a master boot record | 06:26 |
| money | their is far more to curing diseases than simply crunching numbers | 06:26 |
| money | heh | 06:26 |
| cylex | dandaman: can u try to boot from other hdd | 06:26 |
| cylex | it should work | 06:26 |
| Berzerker | not really... | 06:26 |
| jeeves_Moss | losha, I get nothing returned. it just line feeds | 06:26 |
| dandaman | cylex: when i boot from the hard drive with ubuntu | 06:26 |
| dandaman | it just says grub | 06:26 |
| Berzerker | if the MBR is F'ed, then nothing will work | 06:26 |
| dandaman | and sits there | 06:26 |
| losha | jeeves_Moss: what os version are you running? | 06:27 |
| cylex | dandaman: reverse the order of hdd, see if that works | 06:27 |
| Berzerker | dandaman, what do you mena just says "Grub" and sits there | 06:27 |
| dandaman | doesnt load up ubuntu | 06:27 |
| dandaman | the loading screen | 06:27 |
| jeeves_Moss | losha, it's Ubuntu and I think it's 9.1 | 06:27 |
| Berzerker | Grub loading stage 1.5? | 06:27 |
| Berzerker | does it have a count down? | 06:27 |
| dandaman | it says grub loading stage 1.5 when i load up the windows hard drive | 06:27 |
| cylex | 9.10 is buggy :( | 06:27 |
| dandaman | but when loading the ubuntu hd, it just says grub | 06:27 |
| dandaman | no count down | 06:27 |
| losha | jeeves_Moss: please run lsb_release -a | 06:27 |
| Bluey | cylex - uh what did you find? | 06:27 |
| Berzerker | just GRUB? | 06:27 |
| Berzerker | that's it | 06:27 |
| Berzerker | nothing else? | 06:28 |
| dandaman | thats it | 06:28 |
| dandaman | nothing else | 06:28 |
| jeeves_Moss | losha, ok, what does that do? | 06:28 |
| someguy1980 | Hi people. Got a 1TB Seagate drive (sata) for extra storage. Anytime it's connected I can boot into linux ( ubuntu 8.10, ubuntu 9.04, Suse 11) | 06:28 |
| someguy1980 | Not even live cds.....as soon as i disconnect the drive i can boot live cds or ubuntu 8.04 of my ide fine.. | 06:28 |
| jeeves_Moss | losha, it's 9.04 | 06:28 |
| cylex | Bluey: like for instance, if you install from windows, it gives you grub error.. | 06:28 |
| Berzerker | dandaman, try using this http://www.supergrubdisk.org/index.php?pid=5 burn it to a CD and use it to repair grub | 06:28 |
| dandaman | will that fix my windows 7 issue? | 06:28 |
| Bluey | cylex -- wubi? | 06:28 |
| someguy1980 | er...anytime the drive is connected i *cant* boot into linux. | 06:28 |
| cylex | Bluey: yeah | 06:28 |
| Shtl | Hello All | 06:29 |
| cylex | Bluey: If you know a work around it, I would love to install it | 06:29 |
| Bluey | cylex -- ouch that's a bad bug.... | 06:29 |
| Berzerker | dandaman, possibly. if it doesn't, at least you'll most likely be able to get into Ubuntu to mess with the boot file to fix that one | 06:29 |
| === bob is now known as Guest19837 | ||
| Bluey | cylex - no experience with 9.10 | 06:29 |
| Berzerker | dandaman, should fix both though | 06:29 |
| cylex | Bluey: I think they might of left it on purpose for developers to fix until its fully working. | 06:29 |
| Dr_Willis | someguy1980: ive some quirky exernal drives with the same issue. I had a usb 'pci card' for extra ports. if i plugged it into one of those..it did let the system boot fine | 06:29 |
| Guest19837 | Hi!All | 06:29 |
| losha | jeeves_Moss: ok, you need to find and install libdate-calc-perl. I don't run 9.04 myself so I'm not sure where it will be for you. Try some more searches e.g. apt-cache search perl | egrep data | 06:29 |
| Bluey | cylex - I need a newer kde to run digikam - think I'll wait - the update looks painful... | 06:30 |
| mblues | if i allocate partition space on two separate hard drives to "/home" will that cause anything weird to happen, or will Linux write the data between the drives? | 06:30 |
| someguy1980 | Dr_Willis: thx for the tip. this is an internal drive, i havent tried a diff sata port yet | 06:30 |
| losha | jeeves_Moss: oops, typo: that's apt-cache search perl | egrep date of course | 06:30 |
| cylex | Bluey: hmm, never went that far with Ubuntu... all I use it for is web and email | 06:31 |
| Shtl | I am upgrading from 9.04 to 9.10 but its giving me error http://pastebin.com/m47b21182, plz can any one help me??? | 06:31 |
| histo | Shtl: join #ubuntu+1 | 06:31 |
| Bluey | cylex - I just want to do simple photo processing - gimp works, but EXTREMLY awkward | 06:31 |
| cylex | Bluey: what lsb release you are on? | 06:32 |
| losha | mblues: it won't do what you want. You need LVM to combine two physical partitions into one virtual one, and it's more trouble than it's worth. Name one of them /home and the other /backup and just copy stuff between them manually... | 06:32 |
| Dr_Willis | someguy1980: internal? that is very very weird then. | 06:32 |
| Dr_Willis | someguy1980: unless its some how defaulting to trying to boot that drive.. or the drive is slow to spin up. | 06:32 |
| leandrodeassis | upgraded my karmic now and the nm-applet are bugging to connect to my wireless =/ | 06:32 |

| cylex | Bluey: nice. <-- ubuntu 9.04 cli brb | 06:33 |
| mblues | also - this box has 6 gigs of RAM - i was going to allocate 12 gigs for swap (googling said so) - anyone think that's overkill? (sorry, new to linux here) | 06:33 |
| Bluey | yes | 06:33 |
| Bluey | I use 1.5X | 06:33 |
| Dr_Willis | someguy1980: you said it wouldent even let you boot live cd's - be a intersting test to see if other disrtos live cd's had same issue. | 06:34 |
| plight | hello there | 06:34 |
| Dr_Willis | mblues: vastly overkill. | 06:34 |
| Bluey | if you are swapping 6 gig of ram, you've problems. | 06:34 |
| Dr_Willis | mblues: 2x ram was a rule of thumb - years ago | 06:34 |
| mblues | Bluey: you underestimate my power to write bad code | 06:34 |
| someguy1980 | Dr_Willis: ya, not even live cds. it tries to detect the drive, fails hard - the does nothing. disconnect the drive = everything works. so far suse also doesnt work. | 06:34 |
| Bluey | mblues -- what are doing? trying to be the new bill gates? | 06:34 |
| Sledger | While installing unetbootin karmic remix ??? ok window comes up during "Detecting file systems" then hangs | 06:34 |
| Dr_Willis | mblues: I imagine 2gb of swap would be plenty. | 06:35 |
| mblues | bluey: haha, how did you guess? ;) | 06:35 |
| plight | can someone please tell me if there is an issue with jaunty and ati 4670s? i have folowed 3 different methods and can not get the driver installed correctly | 06:35 |
| plight | also, running "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" only prompts me to configure a keyboard, should it not also ask me to select adriver? | 06:36 |
| Bluey | mblues -- 2 rules to follow when dealing with computers - rule 1 -- always have a path back to the way it was, before you messed it up. Rule 2 -- follow rule 1. | 06:36 |
| losha | mblues: yes, twice ram is an old rule and it's generally overkill nowadays. Are you going to require suspend/resume? If not, then you may not need a swap partition at all. Allocate 6G of swap after your data partition and monitor it. If you find you don't swap at all, you can eliminate it later and allocate it back to your data partition... | 06:36 |
| losha | Bluey: nice one... | 06:36 |
| mblues | bluey: by those terms i am in a world of hurt right now ;) | 06:36 |
| Bluey | like mayor daly -- save early and save often! | 06:36 |
| money | heh | 06:37 |
| Bluey | or was that voting? | 06:37 |

| plight | lol | 06:43 |
| DK_CE | plight: what is the symptom? | 06:43 |
| cylex | plight: have you tried: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Jaunty#Install_nVidia.2FATI_drivers | 06:43 |
| Bluey | plight - the directions were really complicated - and involved using an old complier -- umm I didn't think that was a good iddea | 06:43 |
| losha | plight: the chances of someone here knowing a 'magical' 4th method of driver installation that's not on the web seems slim, to be honest... | 06:44 |
| plight | ive followed a couple different methods from xbmc, ati linux driver wiki, and some other site that i allready closed | 06:44 |
| cylex | plight: so you followed the one from ubuntuguide.org? | 06:44 |
| Bluey | wow - sound like a grassy knowl experience | 06:45 |
| plight | well, the issue is after installing the driver, fglrxinfo always throws Error: unable to open display (null) | 06:45 |

| CHESLYN | guys anyone please please help out i want 2 remove a admin user how do i do it | 07:00 |
| MenZa | mercutio22: Check out /etc/ssh/sshd_config - there's a setting to change the port (edit the document with sudo) | 07:00 |
| Sledger | somehow i ended up with sdb and a sdb1 | 07:00 |
| Flannel | mercutio22: /etc/ssh/sshd_config | 07:00 |
| jitu3485 | Dr_Willis, yup I am doing a write | 07:00 |
| cylex | Tehedra: what's the main domain its on? | 07:00 |
| Dr_Willis | jitu3485: ie seen flash drives go 'bad' and cause all sorts of weirdness.. its possible that one is dead.. or ive also seen where in some cases the kernel dosent see changes to the partition layout untill a reboot. | 07:00 |
| cylex | try it on there see if it works | 07:00 |
| mercutio22 | Flannel: thanks | 07:00 |
| Sledger | and in Gparted, it says on the tab, sdb, but down below it says sdb1 | 07:00 |

| fuzzybunny | hey guys for some reason if I enable compiz and then logout or restart it switches back to using metacity(at least that is what I am assuming) and then I have to manually turn on the desktop effects again. Does anyone know what would cause this? | 07:13 |
| cylex | Tehedra: you wanna just manually install PHPMyAdmin, it would be much easier | 07:13 |
| Tehedra | sure | 07:13 |
| Doc_Lappy | oh kewl cylex, I may have to logout and log back in and try it for fun, just hope my espanol, francias or l'italiano is good enough to get around on it lol | 07:13 |

| Tehedra | Anything to get it working cylex :D | 07:14 |

| Sledger | cylex: now what? | 07:21 |
| Dr_Willis | blackjak: normally with source i set it up where it installs to /opt/ so all the stuff is all there in /opt/ somewhere.. but thats often not the default | 07:21 |

| bryanp6 | cybersplice, I'm using the software from nomachine if that helps | 07:39 |
| cybersplice | So putty connects, local nxserver connection from a different machine works, but remote nx doesn't | 07:39 |
| cybersplice | sounds like some acl issue perhaps | 07:39 |
| testi_ | In 9.04 Upstart does not emit an event when a network device goes up, or a default route is added. How can I execute a script as soon as network is available (without busy waiting!) | 07:39 |
| cybersplice | i'm just installing to see some stuff | 07:39 |
| bryanp6 | cybersplice, ok thanks much | 07:40 |
| n1c0 | Hi folks ! | 07:40 |
| JacobT | hi | 07:41 |
| JacobT | what does YPBINDPROC_DOMAIN: Domain not bound mean | 07:41 |
| n1c0 | have you any tips to download realmedia streaming ? | 07:41 |
| joako | How do I get VNC server to run for what is on the screen on the computer? | 07:41 |
| n1c0 | i m looking into /tmp and using downloadhelper but no success | 07:41 |
| frag | which plugins are needed for dvd playback? | 07:42 |
| cylex | joako: there are two ways to do it, Ubuntu can do it via Remote Desktop or via VNC. | 07:42 |
| joako | cylex: I am trying with x11vnc but it does not work right | 07:42 |
| cylex | joako: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Jaunty#VNC | 07:43 |
| n1c0 | frag: libdvdcss2 | 07:43 |
| cylex | frag: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu | 07:44 |

| joako | cylex: I need something to be systemwide not per user | 07:45 |
| frag | ahh thanks, been looking around for that, working out a bunch of stuff with this install | 07:45 |
| cylex | joako: I dunno, I think you have to make each user a sudo user otherwise they can't have enuf permission to use Remote Desktop, its not like windows | 07:46 |
| n1c0 | i could listen it with rhythmbox or totem but nothing in /tmp :( | 07:46 |
| dandaman | im back | 07:46 |
| dandaman | anyone here that remembers what my problem was? | 07:46 |
| joako | cylex: x11vnc works fine like that for centos | 07:46 |
| dandaman | i tried repairing the mbr | 07:46 |
| dandaman | and it didnt work :\ | 07:46 |
| dandaman | this was after i finally got my windows 7 cd to boot | 07:47 |
| testi_ | I'd like to run a script automatically when network becomes available, how can i do that? | 07:47 |
| JacobT | can someone help me w/ my system hanging whn i run add remove programs? | 07:47 |
| cylex | dandaman: now try reinstalling ubuntu :) | 07:47 |
| cylex | u fixed ur mbr | 07:48 |
| dandaman | i still cant get into windows 7 though | 07:48 |
| cylex | but don't click advanced, just let it do the install as normal | 07:48 |
| dandaman | you think reinstalling ubuntu will allow me to get into windows 7? | 07:48 |
| cylex | no | 07:48 |
| cylex | I thought it was working | 07:48 |
| dandaman | no, im on a ubuntu live session again :\ | 07:48 |
| dandaman | same error, grub error 21 | 07:49 |
| cybersplice | hmm | 07:49 |
| cylex | ah | 07:49 |
| cybersplice | bryanp6, there doesn't appear to be any ACL | 07:49 |
| frag | install lilo? | 07:49 |

| bryanp6 | cybersplice, new to linux | 07:49 |
| cylex | dandaman: hate to brake it to you, but you might of have a fsck the sytem | 07:49 |
| cylex | dandaman: before ubuntu was booting? | 07:50 |
| dandaman | what do you mean before ubuntu was booting? | 07:50 |
| cylex | the live cd? | 07:50 |
| cybersplice | bryanp6, i'm going to have to look at the config files. | 07:50 |
| testi_ | leandrodeassis: this solution is not sufficient as i'd like to react on ANY network configuration the user creates in network-manager | 07:50 |
| dandaman | ubuntu was never booting | 07:50 |
| testi_ | such as WiFi etc | 07:51 |
| bryanp6 | cybersplice, mkay take your time. I wanna get this to work | 07:51 |
| testi_ | leandrodeassis: i was previously trying upstart, but upstart doesn't emit any network related events | 07:51 |
| 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. But, I have the newest flash player (adobe-flashplugin 10.0.32.18-1jaunty1) installed with apt-get. about:plugins shows the newest libflashplayer.so (10.0 r32). | 07:51 |
| cylex | dandaman: are you able to go to computer, and see /host folder? | 07:51 |
| cylex | or mount any harddrives | 07:52 |
| cybersplice | bryanp6, don't worry, it should work. NX is pretty solid. | 07:52 |
| dandaman | no /host folder | 07:52 |
| dandaman | lemme try mounting my windows | 07:52 |
| cylex | k | 07:52 |
| Dr_Willis | th0ger: ive seen some pages say your versionis too old when its actually too 'new' :) | 07:52 |
| dandaman | i right clicked on my windows hd and hit mount | 07:53 |
| dandaman | nothing happened | 07:53 |
| === JoshuaL_ is now known as JoshuaL | ||

| Dr_Willis | th0ger: but i am on 9.10 on this box.. I just rembered. | 07:53 |
| logankoester | How do i know which video driver is in use? | 07:53 |

| JacobT | im used to fedora system and just switched to ubuntu today | 07:54 |
| Zatcharius | dandaman: do you have ntfs-config? | 07:54 |
| cylex | logankoester: it should be gray, that's the one is in use | 07:54 |
| dandaman | Zatcharius: im a bit of a newb to linux, how would i find that? | 07:54 |
| Dr_Willis | th0ger: well i thumbed through their example/demo magazine just now.. | 07:54 |
| dandaman | newb in general | 07:54 |
| cylex | mol: for karmic discussions join #ubuntu+1 | 07:55 |
| Zatcharius | dandaman: Well I usually use Arch linux or Fedora so I don't rightly know the synaptic command but it should be something like 'apt-get install ntfs-config' | 07:55 |
| dandaman | lets try that | 07:55 |
| cylex | Zatcharius: will that work on live cd? | 07:56 |

| Guest2298 | Soreau ? not thee anymore ? | 08:09 |
| Guest2298 | there ? | 08:09 |
| mneptok | omac: that's fine. there is no need for alternate trackers. and certainly no need to advertise in official channels. | 08:09 |
| soreau | Guest2298: Or, you could just start X without a conf file by using 'sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak' | 08:09 |

| logankoester | can anyone tell me how to find what graphics driver is in use? | 08:13 |
| soreau | Guest2298: You need compiz++ at that resolution. Otherwise, you need to lower it or setup the monitors in vertical fashion | 08:14 |
| soreau | logankoester: Your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file will tell you | 08:14 |

| c00lryguy | whats the most lightweight flash player for ubuntu? | 08:15 |
| soreau | logankoester: What does 'lspci|grep VGA' say? | 08:15 |
| Guest2298 | Soreau Ive tried the virtual line 4096 4096 in my xorg.conf but X wouldnt launch | 08:15 |
| soreau | Guest2298: Yea, it's the new version of compiz that you probably wont see until next year sometime | 08:16 |
| soreau | Guest2298: I know, I saw you complaining | 08:16 |
| soreau | I told you how to fix it | 08:16 |
| logankoester | soreau: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) | 08:16 |
| snuxoll | soreau: xrandr is supported on the 4XXX series last I checked | 08:17 |
| soreau | logankoester: Then chances are, you're using the intel driver. Why are you trying to figure out what driver you have? (what are you ultimately trying to accomplish) | 08:17 |
| snuxoll | soreau: no need for compiz++ | 08:17 |
| dandaman | im trying to drag and drop a folder from the desktop into my usb flash drive and im getting "error while copying. the folder "boot" cannot be copied because you do not have permissions to create it in the destination." | 08:17 |
| omac | mneptok: It's relevant to ubuntu considering that I am running ubuntu 9.04 with python2.6 to run it. It potentially could become part of the ubuntu repository considering it purpose: Anonymous Peer-To-Peer File Sharing similar to TOR. Tor however no longer seems to work if you live in China even when running bridges it seems. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong. Bittorrent is not anonymous. Vuze may be if tor is enabled, but that becomes a problem if | 08:17 |
| dandaman | can someone give me maybe the exact line for the terminal i'd need to write | 08:17 |
| dandaman | im in a live session | 08:17 |
| c00lryguy | whats the most lightweight flash player for ubuntu? | 08:17 |
| dandaman | so thats why i dont have permissions | 08:17 |
| soreau | snuxoll: compiz++ overcomes the max testure size problem. With compiz as it is now, running it on higher resolutions than the MTS for the card will result in corruption past the MTS resolution | 08:18 |
| soreau | snuxoll: xrandr doesn't help in this case | 08:18 |
| logankoester | soreau: I just upgraded to karmic and am trying to get Xgl to work under KMS/uxa so I can use compiz | 08:18 |
| snuxoll | soreau: yeah, but if he's only setting his virtual size as 4096 then that's the same as the MTS on the 4K series | 08:18 |
| === Wajih is now known as MaWaLe | ||
| soreau | logankoester: You don't need Xgl. It's old and not needed anymore | 08:18 |
| dandaman | im going to kill myself | 08:19 |
| soreau | logankoester: What does 'glxinfo|grep render' say? | 08:19 |
| omac | mneptok: there is no better compliment to give than to use the ubuntu karmic beta as a test file. | 08:19 |
| dandaman | cant take this anymore | 08:19 |
| logankoester | soreau: compiz fails to launch stating xgl not present | 08:19 |
| snuxoll | xgl...wow, I haven't seen anyone use that since....6.10 | 08:19 |
| Guest2298 | Ok thank you, i'll be waiting for the next version of compiz then ... sigh.... | 08:19 |
| soreau | logankoester: That's simply an informational warning, not an error | 08:19 |
| snuxoll | Guest2298: does X start or is compiz that just fails? | 08:20 |
| snuxoll | Guest2298: if it's just compiz then could you try metacity's compositor? | 08:20 |
| logankoester | soreau: Oh, okay. In any case, I'd like to get it working :) glxinfo|grep render says "direct rendering: Yes\nOpenGL renderer string: Software Rasterizer" | 08:20 |
| mneptok | omac: if you feel you have something of value to offer to the release team, offer it to them. but until then, do not advertise unofficial sources for Ubuntu images in official channels. | 08:20 |
| soreau | snuxoll: Compiz works but he doesn't want to lower his resolution to fix it | 08:20 |
| dandaman | can someone help me, im going crazy over this, can anyone devote some time to me in private chat | 08:20 |
| snuxoll | soreau: the hell kind of resolution is he using? | 08:21 |
| mneptok | dandaman: what are you actually trying to do? | 08:21 |
| snuxoll | dandaman: I suggest you call a local hotline if you need help on this | 08:21 |
| soreau | logankoester: Ok, there's your real problem. swrast (Software Rasterizer) Your X log should show why it's falling back to swrast. So can you pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log? | 08:21 |

| dandaman | copy a folder from my desktop to my usb flash drive | 08:21 |

| soreau | snuxoll: Dual monitor too large for his cards MTS | 08:21 |
| snuxoll | dandaman: use sudo then | 08:21 |
| dandaman | how | 08:21 |
| dandaman | thats the thing | 08:21 |
| dandaman | im a newb | 08:21 |
| dandaman | whats the exact line i need to write | 08:21 |
| snuxoll | soreau: obviously, that means he must have 30" monitors or something | 08:22 |

| snuxoll | dandaman: sudo cp ~/Desktop/filename /media/[volume-name]/dest_file | 08:22 |

| soreau | snuxoll: His cards MTS is 2048 and one of his resolution dimensions is 2560 (1280x2) | 08:22 |
| dandaman | says no such file or directory home/ubuntu/desktop/temp5/boot | 08:23 |

| c00lryguy | whats the most lightweight flash player for ubuntu? | 08:23 |
| snuxoll | c00lryguy: any 'lightweight' player sucks | 08:23 |
| snuxoll | c00lryguy: also, stop repeating your question | 08:24 |
| soreau | snuxoll: Well maybe you're right. I never did get the output of 'glxinfo -l|grep -i max_texture_size' from him | 08:24 |
| c00lryguy | well if someone helped me out, i wouldnt need to | 08:24 |
| omac | mneptok: One more thing. You guys rock! Karmic Beta rocks! The USB Disk Creator works without any hitches every time. The USB Thumb Drive boot with Karmic Beta boots up the desktop in 1 minute 15 seconds on my old Celeron 2.6GHz CPU. | 08:24 |
| Guest2298 | snuxoll: yes i'm using two 1280x1024 lcds in horizontal dual head display, nothing really exotic | 08:24 |
| snuxoll | c00lryguy: no one in here is required to help you | 08:24 |
| snuxoll | c00lryguy: being impatient is a simple way to make sure they ignore you | 08:24 |
| c00lryguy | a simple "I dont know" would be enough | 08:24 |
| soreau | snuxoll: If that were the case, the Virtual line I gave him was supposed to fix it but he typoed or something and goofed the X conf file so X failed to start | 08:24 |
| snuxoll | c00lryguy: do you really want 200 helpers to say "I don't know"? | 08:25 |
| c00lryguy | alright, im sorry then | 08:25 |
| snuxoll | c00lryguy: just use the adobe flash player, it works | 08:25 |
| soreau | Guest2298: Hey, what is the output of 'glxinfo -l|grep -i max_texture_size' BTW? | 08:25 |
| dandaman | snuxoll: i moved the folder to home/ubuntu now i get this "cp: omitting directory '/home/ubuntu/boot' | 08:26 |

| dandaman | what does that mean? | 08:26 |

| dandaman | thanks for the help guys | 08:31 |
| soreau | logankoester: You need UXA. Add this to the Device section of xorg.conf: Option "AccelMethod" "UXA" | 08:31 |
| Astray | Is thunderbird still being actively developed? | 08:31 |
| dandaman | hopefully this supergrub fixes my problem | 08:31 |
| logankoester | soreau: I have that in my xorg.conf | 08:31 |
| dandaman | otherwise ill definitely have to slam my head against the wall | 08:31 |
| logankoester | soreau: my xorg.conf -> http://pastie.org/643365 | 08:32 |
| soreau | logankoester: Well your X log says it's using exa for acceleration | 08:32 |
| === olivier is now known as Guest80676 | ||
| logankoester | Is that log updated every time X is started soreau ? | 08:32 |
| soreau | logankoester: Yes | 08:32 |
| logankoester | then I find that quite strange | 08:33 |
| csaba | anyone knows how to setup my bluetooth headset on ubuntu? | 08:33 |
| logankoester | I've restarted X many times since enabling uxa | 08:33 |
| soreau | logankoester: Actually, it's strange. It shows that it recognizes the option but directly afterward says using exa | 08:33 |
| mcmlxxi | we have a network printer. when I try printing from my ubuntu, it says Unable to connect to CIFS host and NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME. what could be the problem? | 08:33 |
| soreau | logankoester: So maybe try asking in #intel-gfx, idk why it's acting funny like that | 08:33 |
| logankoester | soreau: Alright, thanks for your help | 08:33 |

| csaba | FATAL: Module snd_bt_sco not found. | 08:38 |
| bryanp6 | cybersplice, cool. I've been messing with the port forwarding but no go still | 08:39 |
| cybersplice | Port forwarding isn't the issue, since your SSH works OK. | 08:40 |
| Gnea | csaba: you probably have to install it then, should be able to find it like this: apt-cache search bluetooth audio | 08:40 |
| cybersplice | It tunnels all its connections via ssh. | 08:40 |
| Gnea | csaba: notably, you'll want the alsa support | 08:40 |

We have a Xubuntu 9.04 live Cd, and we would like to use it to save the data from the hard disk. But the problem is, that gparted sees a big, unallocated partition only.

| ursus | thank you both, I'll check it | 08:51 |
| ActionParsnip | ursus: you may have to use testdisk or gparted to partition the disk but DO NOT format it, you will then have a partition to work with, you can also use foremost to access the disk to see if any data can be found, filenames WILL be lost but the data will most likely still be there | 08:51 |
| ActionParsnip | ursus: is there no data backup? | 08:52 |

| ct529 | ActionParsnip: yes, already done .... | 09:19 |
| Dr_Willis | mcmlxxi: that sort of tells me it may be using a different ip/range | 09:19 |
| Dr_Willis | mcmlxxi: findsmb shows all the various workgrpups it sees here. | 09:20 |
| ActionParsnip | ct529: if you cant get a desktop now, run: sudo apt-get --reinstall install ubuntu-desktop | 09:20 |
| mcmlxxi | Dr_Willis, I just checked, it is using the same IP range as us | 09:20 |
| ct529 | ActionParsnip: yes, I have no problems with my desktop .... why???? | 09:20 |
| Dr_Willis | mcmlxxi: im out of ideas then. #samba may have some more ideas. | 09:20 |

| kubuntuboy | hi. i have a little question about vpn. i am using openvpn to connect to a vpn provider. in jaunty and below it was no problem. when i connected to vpn, all my traffic was redirected thru vpn. but here in karmic (beta) i can still connect but nothing will be routed thru vpn. i am using the exactly same config files. | 09:21 |
| ActionParsnip | ct529: what is your issue again? | 09:21 |

| blip- | hi, I need to start a program on system boot, but this program needs to authenticate with a license server when it starts... otherwise it starts with limited features. What's the best way to make sure the internet/eth0 is up before launching the program ? I tried /etc/rc.local /etc/rc2.d with S90 in the filename...and also headers in those scripts. nothing works. | 09:37 |
| qdb | hello. http://paste2.org/p/454833 | 09:37 |
| qdb | ActionParsnip | 09:38 |
| bob | HI | 09:38 |
| Dr_Willis | blip- ive used rc.local but put a long pause/wait befor stuff starts up.. Or you could check the ouytput of ifconfig i guess to be sure networkingis working befor launching the app. | 09:38 |
| cybersplice | OK. bryanp6. sudo apt-get install pastebinit | 09:39 |
| cybersplice | bryanp6: then do, pastebinit -i /etc/ssh/sshd_config -b http://paste.ubuntu.com | 09:39 |
| blip- | Dr_Willis: hmm I also tried that, sleep 20 seconds but it didn't seem to work. can I check the ifconfig output in the script itself ? won't that just mean eth0 is up but it the machine hasn't neccessarily recieved an ip by dhcp ? | 09:39 |
| cybersplice | send me the url it generates | 09:39 |
| ActionParsnip | qdb: No apport report written because the error message indicates a disk full error | 09:39 |
| trakcyia | what is the best way to extra a bunch of links out of a web page source? | 09:40 |
| ActionParsnip | qdb: if you run: df -h is the partition holding /var/cache at 100% use by any chance | 09:40 |
| trakcyia | extract^ | 09:40 |
| bryanp6 | cybersplice: http://paste.ubuntu.com/286794/ | 09:40 |
| Dr_Willis | blip-: you could see if ifconfig eth0 has a valid ip via some script/grep/sed commands i imagine. | 09:40 |
| joe84 | ActionParsnip: So I downloaded that driver, I guess it installed ok... no errors or anything. I'm still not getting the compiz effects. Any ideas? | 09:41 |
| cybersplice | bryanp6: see the line where it says #ListenAddress 0.0.0.0 ? | 09:41 |
| qdb | ActionParsnip, df like shows incorrectly 5.3G free space | 09:41 |
| bryanp6 | cybersplice: yeah | 09:41 |
| Dr_Willis | blip-: or i recall there being a command sing that can ping/wait for a network to be avail. its dssigned for scripting also | 09:41 |
| cybersplice | bryanp6: remove the # and save the file. | 09:41 |
| bryanp6 | it says that's to set restrictions though | 09:41 |
| === MadMax is now known as MaxSid | ||
| cybersplice | bryanp6: it's so you can restrict the server to a specific IP, for example. So only an administrator can connect, etc. | 09:41 |
| joe84 | ActionParsnip: Sorry, just saw your other msg about restarting X. Will do it now! | 09:41 |
| cybersplice | bryanp6: You don't need it, and it's getting in teh way. | 09:41 |
| barrie | I'm trying to get my realtek 8101E ethernet card working, I don't even have an eth0 in ifconfig. Anyone got any ideas? | 09:42 |
| bryanp6 | cybersplice: saved | 09:42 |
| cybersplice | bryanp6: /etc/init.d/sshd restart | 09:42 |
| cybersplice | then try again | 09:42 |
| ActionParsnip | joe84: if you run nvidia-settings do you get an error message? | 09:42 |

| ActionParsnip | qdb: looks like you need to fsck imho, i dont understand russian so dont understand the errors you are getting so much | 09:43 |
| ActionParsnip | qdb: could try: sudo apt-get clean | 09:43 |
| ActionParsnip | qdb: then retry | 09:43 |

| chu_ | qdb, what are you trying to fsck? /? /home? | 09:45 |
| qdb | chu_, / | 09:45 |
| blip- | Dr_Willis: I just installed a sing from the repo, is it this one: sing - Send ICMP Nasty Garbage packets to network hosts | 09:45 |
| firecrotch | qdb: you definitely should NOT run e2fsck on a mounted filesystem | 09:45 |

| jpds | Dr_Willis: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-setup-transparent-squid-proxy-server-in-ubuntu.html | 09:56 |
| ActionParsnip | nomad111: you can use gksudo | 09:57 |
| firecrotch | nomad111: The easiest way to do that is to copy your config files from your home directory to root's home directory, which is /root | 09:57 |

| Dr_Willis | nimrod0: its using the root users theme settings. | 09:59 |

| godstar | Does any know if Adobe Flash 64 plays well w Ubuntu 9.04 64? | 10:26 |
| eli_ | hello. can someone recommend me a program for gnome to convert .flac files to .mp3? | 10:26 |
| yusa | godstar: is it even works at 64? | 10:26 |
| yusa | afaik there is no 64bit support yet. | 10:27 |
| FonFon | eli_: sound converter? | 10:27 |
| zaoul | eli_: probably sox, but why would you want to do such a silly thing? | 10:27 |
| zaoul | eli_: flac is much better than mp3 | 10:28 |
| eli_ | FonFon, zaoul, thx. (because of my stupid cell-phone cant handle .flac) | 10:28 |
| godstar | yusa: not sure. | 10:28 |
| zaoul | oh .. yea | 10:28 |
| zaoul | well that's good reason | 10:28 |
| eli_ | not that i'll destroy my collection on the pc, but just that i've some sound to listen to when not at homoe | 10:28 |
| zaoul | eli_: though through the conversion process you'll loose more quality, you should get the wav and convert it directly to mp3 | 10:28 |
| yusa | godstar, I'm pretty sure adobe doesnt made any 64bit flash player. it's not supported in windows. I dunno if there is any opensource plyer which can work at 64bit and play flash | 10:29 |
| zaoul | instead of wav mp3 flac | 10:29 |
| RadJohn | Is there any reason why my Radeon X1300 won't work with Ubuntu 8.04 LTS? | 10:29 |
| FonFon | eli_: sudo apt-get install soundconverter | 10:29 |
| eli_ | i dont have any wavs (anymore).. converted all to flac.. too lazy to do flac->wave->mp3.. soon i'll buy something better anyway that can handle flac | 10:29 |
| godstar | yusa: hmm. I'll find out soon. That does sound accurate since, I have not read anything different. If anything, I'll run another Ubuntu install inside a VM to watch my flash in 32bit. | 10:30 |

| godstar | yusa: Ty. | 10:31 |
| eli_ | is there something additional needed for soundvoncerter to create mp3s? atm i can only convert to ogg, flac, or wav | 10:31 |
| bulwynkl | !usb | 10:31 |
| zaoul | eli_: wonder if the hero can play flac? | 10:31 |
| LFC_fan | Hmm? FLAC can be directly converted to MP3? | 10:31 |
| LFC_fan | eli_: You need to install the codec libraries | 10:31 |
| Drainman | zaoul: i got it too work with gphoto2 but only when the device is unmounted | 10:31 |
| LFC_fan | I think Soundconverter does links to it | 10:31 |
| eli_ | ah, thx, got it | 10:31 |
| zaoul | Drainman: ? so you can mount it? | 10:31 |
| zaoul | either or... cool! | 10:32 |
| FonFon | eli_: sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-lame | 10:32 |

| Drainman | i uses the gphoto://usb[001:003] url | 10:33 |
| RadJohn | I think I have tried everything (not sure) to get my Radeon X1300 video card to work under Ubuntu 8.04. Using the motherboard's onboard graphics I am able to get some extra Compiz desktop effects (wobbly windows, ...) but would be much better if I could get the Radeon X1300 to work. Any suggestions? | 10:33 |
| Drainman | zaoul: i uses the gphoto://usb[001:003] url | 10:33 |
| yusa | godstar: listen, if firefox can play something and doesnt have right plugin, it installs it anyway. so just go flash and try to play it. | 10:33 |
| godstar | yusa: right. | 10:33 |
| zaoul | Drainman: yea if you get a card reader ubuntu should automagically mount a directory onto your desktop | 10:33 |
| HypothesisFrog | is there anywhere I can get a deb for an older version of openoffice? I really need to do my work. | 10:33 |
| godstar | yusa: Installing it now. | 10:34 |
| Drainman | zaoul: yeah i think that is the best, and a bit faster. the raw files is pretty big :) | 10:34 |
| zaoul | HypothesisFrog: try rm -Rf ~/.openoffice.org if you feel you are at that point | 10:34 |

| HypothesisFrog | zaoul k thanks | 10:41 |
| LFC_fan | yusa: is it source code or binary package? | 10:41 |

| erUSUL | yusa: only that button/menu ? right click on the pannel choose add to panel and add it again | 10:55 |
| haymaker | hey just wondering if im not the only person having this issue, but is anyone using the Karmic Koala beta getting pulseaudio issues? it will randomly stop for me and can only be fixed by restarting the process | 10:55 |
| krs2 | yup | 10:56 |
| yusa | erUSUL: there was a pop-up menu, which includes restart and shutdown, i need it back. | 10:56 |
| zaoul | I'm a jr sys admin so I'm more into using my computer for computing than anything else | 10:56 |
| krs2 | haymaker, that issue has been with ubuntu since they switched to pulseaudio | 10:56 |
| yusa | erUSUL: when I look to add menu there is no restart option there | 10:56 |
| godstar | yusa: just pointed FF here: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/ | 10:56 |
| erUSUL | yusa: again: right click on the pannel choose "add to panel" and add it again | 10:56 |
| fieldmarshall | this is the msg i keep getting "sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-auth-mysql php5-mysql phpmyadmin" | 10:56 |

| godstar | y | 10:56 |
| arobitag | hey I just did a fresh ubuntu 9.04 64 install, first thing I did was install the nvidia drivers for my 9800gt and after a reboot it won't load X, with the error 'no screens found'. any thoughts? | 10:57 |
| godstar | yusa: and FF installed it. | 10:57 |
| yusa | godstar: hmm... ff 32bit ? | 10:57 |
| RadJohn | ok ... I tried the method found here: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Hardy_Installation_Guide ... | 10:57 |
| yusa | erUSUL: again there is no restart option there. :( | 10:57 |
| RadJohn | but it didn't work | 10:57 |
| haymaker | krs2: really.. i've had issues but not with it actually stopping, at least not until i started using Karmic | 10:57 |
| godstar | yusa: I tried it on Ubuntu JJ 64. | 10:57 |
| remoteCTR1 | is there actually any what so ever libc5 support left over in ubuntu? | 10:58 |
| godstar | yusa: so no. FF is 64. | 10:58 |
| krs2 | haymaker, i had it in jaunty as well, bug is still in in karmic =| | 10:58 |
| yusa | godstar: lemme check | 10:58 |
| erUSUL | yusa: i have it it is called "shut down" here 8literal tanslation from spanish) | 10:58 |
| haymaker | alright well at least im not the only one, thanks though ill seeya around | 10:58 |
| yusa | erUSUL: shutdown is not restart, i need restart as well in popup menu | 10:59 |
| godstar | yusa: its still in beta, so you know how that goes. (Flash64) | 10:59 |
| fieldmarshall | whats the simplest way to install java and eclipse ide's for programming? | 10:59 |
| arobitag | was I mistaken in assuming the button to enable the nvidia driver was the proper way to go? | 10:59 |
| yusa | godstar: yeah I have same x64 system and flash is working. but I dont think that is 64bit player, thought ff is 32 | 10:59 |
| erUSUL | yusa: when you click the button you are presented with the tipical mnu to shut down restar sleep etc... | 10:59 |
| RadJohn | After much researching I noticed that the card worked under Ubuntu 7.10 but then had problems with 8.04. Then I did come across some sites showing how they got it to work using http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Hardy_Installation_Guide, so I am just wondering if it possible my motherboard may be the problem? | 11:00 |
| erUSUL | yusa: why instead ot ranting you just try the thing and see if it fits your needs ?? | 11:00 |
| yusa | erUSUL: I've just added it mate, it is a small shutdown icon :( | 11:00 |
| Xcell | and? | 11:00 |
| mo0nykit | i have just installed the linux-doc package, where do i find these documents? | 11:01 |
| yusa | I need old popup menu | 11:01 |
| godstar | yusa: I tried to installed initially from get.adobe.com/flashplayer and it gave me the 8.04 deb file. Upon running it, I received the i386 architecture error. | 11:01 |
| Xcell | old? | 11:01 |
| yusa | which is default when you install ubuntu 9.04 | 11:01 |
| erUSUL | yusa: then you want the "User's List" | 11:01 |
| godstar | yusa: Thats when I went to plan b, which got me to play youtube videos. | 11:01 |
| erUSUL | yusa: it has a list with the user's of the machie and the options to shut down restart etc... | 11:02 |
| godstar | yusa: right. I'm running a 64 cpu though. | 11:02 |
| yusa | erUSUL: what is that user list ? | 11:02 |
| Xcell | thats prolly it erUSUL | 11:02 |
| erUSUL | yusa: it is in the same place as the other applets | 11:02 |
| yusa | godstar: same I'm using Q6600 mate, I'm runing vista x64 and win7 x64 as well, and still there is no support for 64bit browsers. | 11:03 |
| LFC_fan | Hmm IE has 64bit version??? | 11:03 |
| LFC_fan | But yeah IE sucks | 11:03 |
| yusa | LFC_fan: x64 ie really rocks. | 11:03 |
| godstar | yu | 11:03 |
| LFC_fan | Hmm lol maybe :P But i am biased :P | 11:03 |
| yusa | I hate x86 IE, never using it. but x64 rocks hard. | 11:03 |
| yusa | it far fastest browser ever made. faster then all available now. | 11:04 |
| yusa | but there is no flash support. | 11:04 |
| LFC_fan | Anyway Opera in 64bit Linux FTW | 11:04 |
| * Dr_Willis wonders how one benchmarks such things.. | 11:04 | |
| LFC_fan | And there is Flash64 too :P | 11:04 |
| yusa | there is no flash support for x64 browsers | 11:05 |
| godstar | yusa: right. I think I see the confusion. I was just wondering if flash64 worked on U64. Didn't want to wipe my drive if not. | 11:05 |
| LFC_fan | yusa: In Linux there is. :P | 11:05 |
| arobitag | so yeah, before I go downloading random nvidia drivers, just to double check, clicking enable proprietary nvidia drivers is not the way to go? I just did that and it broke X, figured that was the logic method of installing nvidia drivers | 11:05 |
| yusa | erUSUL: yes thats what I need. | 11:05 |
| yusa | LFC_fan: thats great, Its my first day in linux since 1994ish | 11:05 |
| Xcell | yusa- erUSUL doesnt take american express | 11:06 |
| erUSUL | :) | 11:06 |
| LFC_fan | yusa: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/64bit.html | 11:06 |
| kosmic | I am here | 11:06 |
| yusa | :P | 11:06 |
| kosmic | I want to help | 11:06 |
| kosmic | How do I do that? | 11:06 |
| yusa | erUSUL: did I missed "how to" part ? | 11:06 |
| yusa | you understood what I need but I still dont have it :P | 11:07 |
| yusa | Xcell: I got VISA, hope it works. | 11:07 |
| erUSUL | yusa: right click on the panel choose add to panel | 11:07 |
| Xcell | if you use @leats 3 zeros it will | 11:07 |
| yusa | done, next? | 11:07 |
| Xcell | least | 11:07 |
| erUSUL | yusa: choose the user's list applet from the list | 11:08 |
| yusa | Xcell: 3 zeros of russian rubles? deal! :)) | 11:08 |
| simon__ | hi there - does skype work for 9.04 for anyone it causes a system crash for me when i try to load it | 11:08 |
| pretender | anyone can help with running intel q35 express in ubuntu | 11:08 |
| erUSUL | !intel | pretender | 11:08 |
| ubottu | pretender: Ubuntu 9.04 has a known regression for some Intel graphics support. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/IntelPerformance and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582 for more information. | 11:08 |
| LFC_fan | Yeah but 9.10 has improvements for zat right? | 11:09 |
| yusa | erUSUL: sorry mate but there is no anything such as "user list" | 11:09 |
| yusa | erUSUL: when i type that to search it finds nothing :( | 11:09 |
| Xcell | yusa- user switcher | 11:10 |
| yusa | WOW | 11:10 |
| erUSUL | yusa: i told you my computer is in spanish. Look around for something similar. i'm not asking you to look in 1000 pages book is just a list of a tens applets you know | 11:10 |
| yusa | AT LAST | 11:10 |
| yusa | since 2 hours I was trying to solve this lol | 11:10 |
| godstar | yusa: what's that? | 11:11 |
| yusa | thank you guys, here is my visa: 4545 5478 5215 4894 :) | 11:11 |
| godstar | oi | 11:11 |
| yusa | godstar: well, somehow I've deleted user switcher menu | 11:11 |
| yusa | didn't know the name. so was unable to restart from linux. | 11:11 |
| yusa | now, I've only 1 problem left. | 11:12 |
| pretender | thanks | 11:12 |
| godstar | yusa: easiest thing is to boot to recover console w networking and reinstall gnome desktop | 11:12 |
| yusa | oh no mate, better learn how to fix without reinstalling | 11:12 |
| yusa | that's waste of time. | 11:13 |
| erUSUL | godstar: o.0!! reinstall the whole thing ... | 11:13 |
| arobitag | just in case anyone was wondering, figured out the issue with the nvidia drivers not working, I'm running dual pci-e cards and it couldn't distinguish the primary display, so I added a Busid to my xorg.conf for the device and its working fine | 11:13 |
| erUSUL | !resetpanels | yusa godstar | 11:13 |
| ubottu | yusa godstar: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 11:13 |
| godstar | erUSUL: just gnome desktop not the entire distro. | 11:14 |
| yusa | :D | 11:14 |
| erUSUL | godstar: still is like killing flys with a cannon | 11:14 |
| yusa | what ubottu said sounds right | 11:14 |
| yusa | erUSUL: lol | 11:14 |
| godstar | erUSUL: lol | 11:14 |

| LFC_fan | JanHolbo: Only the very basics to set up /private directory | 11:17 |
| JanHolbo | hehe yusa :-) | 11:17 |
| gajop | how do i encrpyt a file system? | 11:17 |
| yusa | guys | 11:17 |
| yusa | is there anything like setup.exe or install.exe in linux ? | 11:18 |
| Boohbah | sudo apt-get install encryptfs-utils | 11:18 |
| godstar | yusa: wine | 11:18 |
| yusa | godstar: red or white ? | 11:18 |
| JanHolbo | LFC_fan: (and others) I lost my / drive which includes the /var/lib/ecryptfs files | 11:18 |
| godstar | yusa: nice | 11:18 |
| Boohbah | yusa: what are you trying to accomplish? | 11:18 |
| JanHolbo | LFC_fan: (and others) I lost my / drive which includes the /var/lib/ecryptfs files... how can I get back into my files on /home? | 11:18 |
| qwe_ | hi. I want a computer on my network also to have the internet. I've setup the IP masquerading with ufw as stated here https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/firewall.html , but it doesn't work. Any guidence please? | 11:18 |
| yusa | Boohbah: I've a program which have no idea how to install | 11:18 |
| yusa | Boohbah: called "shake 4" | 11:19 |
| godstar | yusa: in other words you can install windows apps in Ubuntu with WINE. | 11:19 |
| yusa | Boohbah: trying to find make file. | 11:19 |
| yusa | godstar: it's linux app mate. | 11:19 |
| Boohbah | Company | 11:19 |
| Boohbah | Apple Computer | 11:19 |
| Boohbah | Price as rated | 11:19 |

| Boohbah | OS compatibility | 11:19 |
| FloodBot2 | Boohbah: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 11:19 |
| yusa | godstar: wine is virtual machine or what ? | 11:19 |
| Boohbah | OS X 10.3.9, OS X 10.4 | 11:19 |
| Boohbah | yusa: no | 11:19 |
| erUSUL | !inetsharing | qwe_ | 11:20 |
| ubottu | qwe_: If you want to share the internet connection of your ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php | 11:20 |
| Boohbah | yusa: it sounds like you need a Mac OS X | 11:20 |
| erUSUL | !ot | Boohbah | 11:20 |
| ubottu | Boohbah: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 11:20 |
| yusa | Boohbah: it's discontuned program. this is linux application mate. | 11:20 |
| godstar | yusa: Look in add/remove and search for WINE. Wine is a windows compatibility layer that allows you to installe exe files. | 11:20 |
| JanHolbo | yusa: is it a emulator - it has (some of) the windows APIs as stubs to the Linux/Mac OS | 11:20 |
| qwe_ | <erUSUL>: but I want to do it with ufw | 11:21 |
| yusa | godstar: doing it now | 11:21 |
| gajop | Boohbah, was "sudo apt-get install encryptfs-utils" directed to me? | 11:21 |
| Boohbah | gajop: yes | 11:21 |
| RadJohn | I have made several attempts to install a Radeon X1300 video card using fglrx and open-source radeon drivers. Regardless, the OS seems to not finish startup to go into X. Could it be a motherboard problem? | 11:21 |
| erUSUL | qwe_: if you enabled the ip masquerading and the iptables rules maybe the problem is the client machine? does it have the correct default gateaway defined ? | 11:22 |
| yusa | godstar: installing wine now. how it can install windows program, strange.. | 11:22 |
| qwe_ | <erUSUL>: yes, it does | 11:22 |
| JanHolbo | Boohbah: do you know how to get back into the ecryptfs'd drive when you loose the /var/lib/ecryptfs/ dir? I know my passphrase | 11:22 |
| godstar | RadJohn: can you run Ubuntu Live cd and get to the desktop? | 11:22 |
| qwe_ | <erUSUL>: wov, wait. I have to do the iptables too? | 11:22 |
| gajop | Boohbah, i'm not getting any packages; i thought that they exist in karmic as well? | 11:22 |
| erUSUL | qwe_: what error you get wehn you try to ping something from a client machine ? | 11:22 |
| godstar | yusa: http://www.winehq.org/ | 11:23 |
| RadJohn | godstar: Actually I am running Ubuntu 8.04 using the motherboard's onboard graphics | 11:23 |
| erUSUL | qwe_: you used ufw for the iptables part right ? | 11:23 |
| godstar | godstar: in Vesa mode? | 11:23 |
| erUSUL | dunno if ufw can do it | 11:23 |
| RadJohn | godstar: ... but would still like to get the Radeon X1300 to work | 11:23 |
| JanHolbo | wb Promille | 11:23 |
| godstar | RadJohn: have you tried to install envyNG yet? | 11:24 |
| qwe_ | <erUSUL>: I only used (made) the ufw masquerading | 11:24 |
| RadJohn | godstar: yes, it doesn't seem to work for me | 11:24 |
| arobitag | how do I open an ubuntu preference window as root? | 11:24 |
| Boohbah | JanHolbo: no | 11:24 |
| JanHolbo | Boohbah: ok - thanks for answering though :-) | 11:25 |
| qwe_ | <erUSUL>: as stated here: https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/firewall.html | 11:25 |
| godstar | RadJohn: have you tried to go into your BIOS and made sure all the settings were set to optimal or performance? Could be a BIOS setting? | 11:25 |
| Boohbah | gajop: ecryptfs-utils (source: ecryptfs-utils): ecryptfs cryptographic filesystem (utilities). In component main, is optional. Version 81-0ubuntu1 (karmic), package size 102 kB, installed size 476 kB | 11:25 |
| JanHolbo | Has anyone a solution on how to get back into an ecryptfs'd /home when you have lost your / partition? | 11:25 |
| RadJohn | godstar: the usual procedure is to set up the driver while in the system using the onboard graphics, then I go into the BIOS to enable the PCI card instead of the onboard graphics | 11:26 |
| erUSUL | qwe_: ok; should be enabled if the docs are right. again what error you get wehn you try to ping something from a client machine ? | 11:26 |
| RadJohn | godstar: ... but then the system usually fails to completely load | 11:27 |
| yusa | oh lol | 11:27 |
| gajop | Boohbah, how do you install it? is it in the main repos? since i can't seem to find it | 11:27 |
| yusa | My X-FI sound card drivers is not installed. | 11:27 |
| yusa | just noticed | 11:27 |
| godstar | RadJohn: try to load fail safe defaults from the BIOS and reboot into Ubuntu. See what happens. | 11:27 |
| qwe_ | <erUSUL>: 100% package loss ect ... | 11:27 |
| Boohbah | In component main... | 11:27 |
| commonwarrior | hi people | 11:28 |

| yusa | make install | 11:29 |

| yusa | erUSUL: do u have any idea ? | 11:30 |
| erUSUL | yusa: about ? | 11:30 |
| koshari | commonwarrior you may simply need to load the module | 11:30 |
| yusa | read up please | 11:30 |
| firecrotch | JanHolbo: Specifically, the Design section, where it says Do NOT move ~/.ecryptfs into ~/Private | 11:31 |
| yusa | erUSUL: I'm trying to install linux driver of sound card. X-fi | 11:31 |
| erUSUL | yusa: you have to use sudo with a make install « sudo make install » | 11:31 |
| commonwarrior | it says The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver (vboxdrv) is either not loaded or there is a permission problem with /dev/vboxdrv. Re-setup the kernel module by executing | 11:31 |
| qwe_ | <erUSUL>: it's like this: The computer that is connecting to the net (through ppp0), has IP (eth0) 192.168.1.10, the client 192.168.1.11, has the gateway set to 192.168.1.10. The only difference from the docs is that I've changed accordingly the IP from 192.168.0.0/24 to 192.168.1.0/24 | 11:31 |

| koshari | commonwarrior try "sudo modprobe vboxdrv" | 11:31 |
| godstar | RadJohn: I would enable PCI in the BIOS first, then see if the graphics card works, if this fails, you can always at that point install your driver at that point. If this also fails, I would then reboot into the BIOS and set it to load up fail safe defaults and boot back into Ubuntu. | 11:31 |
| commonwarrior | tryed | 11:31 |
| commonwarrior | it doesnt work | 11:31 |
| commonwarrior | so i have 2 vbox intalled one is in tools the other one in sistem | 11:32 |
| koshari | did you use the sun deb ? | 11:32 |
| yusa | erUSUL: should i restart after installation or do somethin else? because still it doesnt work. | 11:32 |
| RadJohn | godstar: ok I'll give that a shot thanks | 11:32 |
| erUSUL | qwe_: and you changes the interface nem in the masqueradiong rules ? it is eth0 and ppp0 not eth1 and eth0 | 11:32 |

| commonwarrior | it is | 11:33 |
| commonwarrior | its the final for the moment | 11:33 |
| erUSUL | yusa: if you know the name of the driver you can load it. « sudo modprobe modulename » | 11:33 |

| Stu1 | erUSUL: I have tried adding a new notification area, but nothing happens, it vanished when i uninstalled telepathy and reinstalled it due to some keyring asking me for a password every time i logged in, mission control 5, lol | 11:47 |
| commonwarrior | and kernel driver errors | 11:47 |
| bazhang | commonwarrior, please give all the details about your issue on a single line; avoid using the enter key please as it makes your posts harder to read | 11:48 |
| commonwarrior | i installed vbox... i created a virtual hardrive... when i select START it says.... The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver (vboxdrv) is either not loaded or there is a permission problem with /dev/vboxdrv. Re-setup the kernel module by executing | 11:49 |
| commonwarrior | '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup' | 11:49 |
| commonwarrior | as root. Users of Ubuntu, Fedora or Mandriva should install the DKMS package first. This package keeps track of Linux kernel changes and recompiles the vboxdrv kernel module if necessary. | 11:49 |

| commonwarrior | ok action i follow your write | 12:16 |

| ruby_on_tails | hmm | 12:16 |

| jrib | mxgb: gparted? | 13:09 |
| mxgb | i've got a dual boot and have resized the main windows partition to free up space | 13:09 |
| mxgb | yea well gparted is not allowing me to resize anything | 13:09 |
| jrib | mxgb: are you using a live cd? | 13:10 |
| mxgb | i have used it to create a new partition for the free space | 13:10 |
| mxgb | nopes its a install | 13:10 |
| Gnea | [A]KangB: ah. you'll have to edit your /etc/fstab file after you've partitioned and formatted it, then point it as your new /home - be sure to backup your files in /home so you can restore them on the new /home | 13:10 |
| Gnea | !fstab | [A]KangB | 13:10 |
| ubottu | [A]KangB: 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 | 13:10 |

| RichiH | EmilemiL: is there a /var/log/messages ? | 13:26 |
| laurisx | hey. can i get some help? | 13:26 |
| ActionParsnip | EmilemiL: did you md5 check the iso as well as verify the CD oce initially booted to? | 13:26 |
| EmilemiL | RichiH: no, there isnt cuz I dont even get the system installed. | 13:27 |
| EmilemiL | ActionParsnip: Yes | 13:27 |
| jiohdi | I keep getting freeze up after grub... then reboot, using recovery... repair package.. and it seems to be repairing a video type package | 13:27 |
| jiohdi | anyone know how to fix this so it does not have to be done on each boot up? | 13:28 |
| EmilemiL | ActionParsnip: and tryed to make more than one cd/dvd | 13:28 |
| viirus | I have a major problem..... does anybody know if you can rescue files from an encrypted hdd?..... | 13:28 |
| RichiH | EmilemiL: there might be one in your install environment | 13:28 |
| ActionParsnip | EmilemiL: try some bootoptions then | 13:28 |
| RichiH | EmilemiL: i would try the alternate install cd | 13:28 |
| ActionParsnip | !bootoptions | EmilemiL | 13:28 |
| ubottu | EmilemiL: For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions | 13:28 |
| sipior | viirus: that would defeat the point of encryption, wouldn't it? | 13:29 |
| RichiH | it's based on the debian installer and, in my limited experience with ubuntu, a _lot_ more stable than the graphical one | 13:29 |
| viirus | sipior, and if i have the password? | 13:29 |
| laurisx | Does anyone know why after the latest upgrade I can't get screen resolution above 800x600? I've got an S3 Unichrome, but it worked fine before. And the xorg.conf file doesn't have any "Modes" or "Depth" lines, so a friend of mine said it might be the new xorg, whatever that is. Thanks in advance! :) | 13:29 |
| sipior | viirus: then you should be fine, assuming the volume is not corrupted. | 13:29 |
| EmilemiL | ActionParsnip: I tryed them all but since i dont get an error i dont know whats wrong | 13:29 |
| EmilemiL | RichiH: what's on the alternate cd? | 13:30 |
| RichiH | EmilemiL: packages :p | 13:30 |
| viirus | sipior, the problem is that i accidently made a new filesystem on it (just started... was runnig for about 5 seconds then i noticed the mistake and killed the pc) | 13:30 |
| viirus | sipior, and now I cant mount it anymore.... | 13:30 |
| RichiH | EmilemiL: the end result is the same, i.e. an installed ubuntu | 13:30 |
| RichiH | but instead of copying the live system to disk, it actually installs the packages | 13:30 |
| sipior | viirus: hmm...tricky. have you tried TestDisk? might not work, but worth a shot. | 13:31 |
| === the_archit3ct417 is now known as the_archit3ct | ||
| sipior | viirus: i'm guessing backups aren't an option. | 13:31 |

| EmilemiL | RichiH: okey, i might need to try the alternate cd. | 13:32 |

| citrus212 | actionparsnip: is there a program that can fix errors in ubuntu | 13:34 |
| RichiH | EmilemiL: as i said, my experience with ubuntu is limited, but out of the 5 pcs i tried to install ubuntu on, 3 needed to be installed with the alternate one | 13:35 |

| === Lup is now known as Lupine | ||
| monostone | file -s /dev/sdc* just indicates writable, no read permissions. Any other command to view the fs of a device? so i can mount it | 13:36 |

| monostone | i need to know if its ntfs, fat or ext3 | 13:37 |
| viirus | sipior, hm... ok :( | 13:37 |
| sipior | viirus: well, i'd suggest keeping backups next time, but i don't want to rub it in. harsh enough lesson already, i imagine. | 13:37 |
| viirus | sipior, already thought that im in trouble -.- | 13:37 |

| mxgb | i just tried using gparted to resize my partitions but no success :( | 13:38 |
| viirus | sipior, the actually funny thing (well... i dont think its that funny but for others it surely is).... that i deleted a backup a few days ago because i thought ill never need it and the device wasnt encrypted -.- | 13:38 |
| mxgb | it wont allow me to resize the linux partition | 13:39 |

| the_gamer | jrib, ok, sry | 14:15 |
| grawity | the_gamer: Yeah... See, _only_ 'echo -n ""' is executed with root rights -- the second part (> error.log) is read by your shell, not by sudo. | 14:15 |

| citrus212 | can someone help | 14:15 |
| citrus212 | please | 14:15 |
| nexsja | smbclient '\\1.2.3.4' doesn't do anything. Except some data on how to use smbclient (I needed to do that in the terminal, right?) | 14:15 |
| citrus212 | I am trying to fix my ubuntu's programs | 14:15 |
| the_gamer | grawity, so how to get it done? | 14:15 |

| grawity | the_gamer: sudo tee /var/log/apache2/error.log < /dev/null | 14:15 |
| grawity | nexsja: Hrm...I forgot that smbclient requires the share name too. (Sorry.) Try smbclient '\\host\sharename' | 14:16 |
| vivek111585 | i have installed wine recently but when i open .exe file with it i receive a massage that "invalid name" please help me | 14:17 |

| citrus212 | I'd like to fix ubuntu | 14:17 |
| citrus212 | like, a registry fixer | 14:18 |
| grawity | nexsja: Hm. I guess Windows' Event Log doesn't log such things by default? :( | 14:18 |
| ActionParsnip | citrus212: can you expand please | 14:18 |
| grawity | citrus212: Ubuntu doesn't have a Registry. And you haven't told us what _is_ your problem. | 14:18 |
| citrus212 | I pressed the power ubtton on my laptop and forced it to turn off | 14:18 |
| citrus212 | (over 4 seconds) | 14:18 |
| citrus212 | and now, it just doesn't function very well, and stalls | 14:18 |
| nexsja | grawity, i guess not... I've tried smbclient '\\Sheldon\f' -U Corsair - asked for the password | 14:18 |
| citrus212 | i'd like to get it to work again, rather than reinstall | 14:18 |
| canthus13 | citrus212: Why did you force it to turn off? | 14:18 |
| nexsja | but when i've entered it just gave me 'Connection to Sheldon failed (Error NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME)' | 14:19 |
| grawity | nexsja: It's asking for the password of Windows account 'Corsair'. | 14:19 |
| citrus212 | because it would not respond | 14:19 |
| psypher246 | jrib: i don.;t know what happening. if i add the output redirect it works, without the & at the end. when i add the & it doesn't work when i have just dynamips -H 7210 then it also works. | 14:19 |

| citrus212 | and the problem grew bigger | 14:20 |

| harisund | Hello everyone I am planning on installing the 64 bit Ubuntu on a desktop here at work. What is the state of Ubuntu 64? (Primarily does it do Adobe Flash, Adobe PDF reader and Sun Java in particular . i am not interested in Gnash, Evince or Blackjack or whatever) | 14:45 |
| bazhang | BrainYang, english here please | 14:45 |
| DaZ | ActionParsnip: imo it doesn't require sudo <: | 14:45 |
| laurisx | ActionParsnip: How do I find / use the Chrome driver you mentioned? | 14:45 |
| vivek111585 | i have a graphics problem | 14:46 |
| avishek_ | phix: I was wondering about deploying an Ubuntu-base LTSP architecture on my office network. I would appreciate pointers on how to achieve this | 14:46 |
| === miip_ is now known as miip | ||
| === alex514 is now known as aleX-xx | ||
| vivek111585 | when i signed in as administrator user my graphics resolution change as i restart computer but when i sign in as user it does not change | 14:46 |
| harisund | Is this the right channel to ask for 64 Bit Ubuntu help or is there a dedicated 64 bit channel? | 14:46 |
| grawity | harisund: Just ask. | 14:46 |
| bazhang | harisund, this is it | 14:47 |
| harisund | grawity, already did | 14:47 |
| avishek_ | vivek111585: the two accounts have different resolution settings | 14:47 |
| downstar | other then dmesg what can i use to view my display devices? | 14:47 |
| ActionParsnip | laurisx: the guid eI gave gives an xorg.conf snippet you can use. see how you go | 14:47 |
| JacobT | im new to ubuntu and it some parts lock up on my system | 14:47 |
| Yellerado | ActionParsnip: It didn't find anything | 14:47 |
| ActionParsnip | DaZ: just stops the access denied errors, so the outputs are only file rather than files and errors. | 14:47 |
| harisund | grawity, bazhang I want to know the situation of Adobe Flash, Adobe PDF Reader and Sun Java on 64 bit Ubuntu .. are they readily in the repos? I am not interested in Gnash, Evince and the open source Java implementation | 14:47 |
| vivek111585 | but i hav 2 chng dis setting each time when i start my computer | 14:48 |
| avishek_ | vivek111585: set both accounts to the same resolution settings System->Preferences->Display | 14:48 |
| ubunoob | So I have to install kubuntu on my home PC. Should I download 9.04 or wait for 9.10? | 14:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Yellerado: try /usr/lib/opera/plugins | 14:48 |
| trancefat | ActionParsnip: I did memtest and checked cd for deffects, but no luck.. do you think i should download another live cd? Maybe both cd s i tried are faulty (they were both kepth in the same CDs folder) | 14:48 |
| vivek111585 | i hav already done it | 14:48 |
| grawity | harisund: (Technically, the Sun Java _is_ open-source.) | 14:48 |
| DJones | ubunoob: Use 9.04, 9.10 is a month away from being complete | 14:48 |
| ActionParsnip | trancefat: not sure man, strange | 14:48 |
| arand | DaZ: it will avoid a whole lot of error outs, though I normally use 2>/dev/null for it sudo might be quicker... | 14:48 |
| harisund | grawity, yeah but it appears lots of Linux users prefer not to use that for some reason | 14:49 |
| trancefat | ActionParsnip: yes i agree.. thanks anyways for all your time... you ve helped me in the past as well :) | 14:49 |
| Yellerado | ActionParnsip: That worked | 14:49 |
| omac | JacobT: can you be more specific? What did you do and then when does it lock up? | 14:49 |
| Yellerado | For some reason the folder is empty though | 14:49 |
| ActionParsnip | trancefat: i try | 14:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Yellerado: no worries, just copy or symlink the file | 14:49 |
| JacobT | there are a few problems the first is if i go to install new applications tab and select a packag it will lock up and i have to kill it in system manager or terminal | 14:49 |
| avishek_ | that's strange vivek111585 | 14:50 |
| grawity | harisund: Well, Flash seems to be working. (but Flash works poor on Linux overall, no matter the arch.) | 14:50 |
| === jmrodri-gone is now known as jmrodri | ||
| vivek111585 | yeah | 14:51 |
| JacobT | softwhere sources does the same thing | 14:51 |
| harisund | grawity, that's true .. I just want to make sure they are in the repos that's all :) | 14:51 |
| JacobT | then if i have thunderbird open or a whole screen app thats a light color i get really back artifacting on my screeen | 14:51 |
| vivek111585 | i hav reinstall graphic driver 2 solve dis | 14:51 |
| avishek_ | could someone please advise vivek111585? i am unable to answer his question | 14:51 |
| Stonekeeper | Anyone else getting system freezes with 9.10 beta? | 14:51 |
| Gwynavere | hey all | 14:52 |
| grawity | harisund: I'm sure there's flashplugin-installer. (Many people just get it directly from Adobe; this is what -installer does too.) | 14:52 |
| omac | JacobT: now we're getting somewhere. Are you impatient? The synaptic/software centre take time to load the list, take time to download, take time to install. In between all of these different stages, it's true the synaptic gui would lock up and you need to wait. | 14:52 |
| ActionParsnip | !karmic | Stonekeeper | 14:52 |
| ubottu | Stonekeeper: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 29th, 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 | 14:52 |
| Stonekeeper | thanks! | 14:52 |
| ubunoob | DJones: I'm in no rush. I'll be using my laptop for most of my important stuff. | 14:52 |
| Gwynavere | er im hoping for some advice? | 14:52 |
| harisund | grawity, all right man .. thanks let's see | 14:52 |
| BrainYang | why so many people love ubuntu | 14:52 |
| Yellerado | Ok, hopefully this works... | 14:52 |
| BrainYang | i love FreeBSD | 14:52 |
| jrib | !ot | BrainYang | 14:52 |
| ubottu | BrainYang: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 14:52 |
| grawity | BrainYang: Then use what you love, and don't waste your (and our) time trolling. | 14:52 |
| ActionParsnip | BrainYang: personal preference, some people love windows | 14:53 |
| BrainYang | :-) | 14:53 |
| omac | jacobT: the hint is that the gui turns a different colour...I think I recall gray... light gray when busy. It's kind of like an hour glass mouse icon. | 14:53 |
| Gwynavere | i have no sound on my computerm i was wondering if i could get some help | 14:53 |
| Gwynavere | computer* | 14:53 |
| JacobT | yeah it gets there and never goes away | 14:53 |
| Gwynavere | hello? | 14:53 |
| DaZ | Gwynavere: did it work? ;f | 14:53 |
| MattFarrel | BrainYang: i love ubuntu. | 14:54 |
| ActionParsnip | Gwynavere: try: sudo lshw -C sound | grep product | 14:54 |
| ActionParsnip | BrainYang: i love puppy | 14:54 |
| ActionParsnip | and lamp | 14:54 |
| sipior | MattFarrel: don't feed the under-bridge dwellers. | 14:54 |
| ActionParsnip | and desk, and carpet | 14:54 |
| Yellerado_ | ActionParsnip: I did exactly what you told, and flash still does not work correctly | 14:55 |
| stewart_ | what happend to desk bar? | 14:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Yellerado_: try IN ~/.opera/plugins | 14:55 |
| danny89 | can anyone help me? i cant get my wireless adapter to work in ubuntu, my laptop is an amilo li1718 | 14:55 |
| ubunoob | If I download kubuntu 9.04 now, Is it easy to upgrade from kubuntu 9.04 to 9.10? Or is it better to patiently wait for kubuntu 9.10 and then download that? | 14:55 |
| JacobT | i don't think any flash player works fuly in linux for any distro i'v tried sues, fedora, and ubuntu | 14:55 |
| bazhang | ubunoob, fairly easy with a net connection | 14:55 |
| Yellerado_ | ActionParsnip: That's what I did... | 14:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Yellerado_: theres a folder that opera hides its plugins, you need to drop the file in the folder | 14:55 |
| Yellerado_ | ActionParnsip: I did put the plugins into that folder | 14:56 |
| haroelcabo | I'm desperate. For hours I'm trying a configuration of two machines with a matrix printer each, with cups, and one of the machines never can print to the remote printer. | 14:56 |
| scunizi | ubunoob: either way.. just expect you'll make some mistakes and want to reinstall at some point.. usually you don't have to but ... :) | 14:56 |
| haroelcabo | I don't know what is so wierd about cups | 14:56 |
| DaZ | ActionParsnip: opera uses mozilla directory too, maybe it's architecture related? :f | 14:57 |
| trijntje | where can i find a dummy mbox file? | 14:57 |
| === BrainYang is now known as hellfire | ||
| DaZ | like in 32bit plugin without the wrapper ;f | 14:57 |
| Yellerado_ | ActionParsnip: I did notice something odd. On http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/, I noticed that while the flash test works fine, the shockwave test does not. | 14:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Yellerado_: is your ubuntu install 64bit? | 14:57 |
| DaZ | hm | 14:57 |
| Yellerado_ | ActionParnsip: Like I said earlier, yes. | 14:57 |
| omac | JacobT: Your apt package state is corrupted. Do a search about how to clean your package state/cache. you will find an answer. | 14:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Yellerado_: theres currently no shockwave for Linux | 14:58 |
| ubunoob | I've had a lot of audio/flash issues with kubuntu 9.04 on my laptop. (Ex. flash player wont play music if amarok is playing music and stuff) Is this fixed in 9.10? | 14:58 |
| haroelcabo | I simply need to print in a shared printer | 14:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Yellerado_: afaik | 14:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Yellerado_: what is the output of: uname -a | 14:58 |
| Yellerado_ | ActionParnsip: What I don't understand is that flash works perfectly fine on firefox, but not opera | 14:58 |
| ja | lll | 14:58 |
| Yellerado_ | ActionParsnip: Linux Caesium 2.6.28-15-generic #52-Ubuntu SMP Wed Sep 9 10:48:52 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux | 14:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Yellerado_: you just need to find out what folder the plugins live | 14:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Yellerado_: ok it is 64bit | 14:58 |
| === omahn_ is now known as Omahn | ||
| omac | JacobT: when installing the flash plugin, do click the show details button to see where the flash install script hangs....I recall something about a docs directory not existing causing an install problem. | 14:59 |
| Yellerado_ | ActionParsnip: The opera plugins foldr is /usr/lib/opera/plugins | 14:59 |
| Yellerado_ | *folder | 14:59 |
| Tomatix | Tried to change the CD/DVD drive and the error still remains, changing to the console 4, it seems it want to install a package named installation-report... | 15:00 |
| JacobT | mine installed fine it just lockes up and tings like that | 15:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Yellerado_: try putting it in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ | 15:00 |
| omac | this could put synaptic in an error state, but it wouldn't put it into a state that synaptic/aptitude would hang though. | 15:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Yellerado_: and /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/ | 15:00 |
| Yellerado_ | ActionParsnip: They're already there, actually | 15:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Yellerado_: hmm | 15:00 |
| haytham-med | hi all, how to create a desktop shortcut that runs a program in the terminal? | 15:00 |
| DaZ | Yellerado_: refresh plugins in opera preferences? ;f | 15:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Yellerado_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OperaBrowser#64-bit%20Flash says: /usr/lib/opera/plugins/ | 15:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Yellerado_: make sure opera is completely closed (use ps -ef | grep -i opera) then reopen after closing any down | 15:01 |
| Starke | hey all | 15:01 |
| SharpRain | How do I do it?!@ | 15:01 |
| SharpRain | how do I get windows to stack like in windows | 15:02 |
| Yellerado_ | ActionParsnip: Ok, brb | 15:02 |
| SharpRain | say there is 4 firefox windows | 15:02 |
| haytham-med | any one | 15:02 |
| SharpRain | I want it to only occupy onespace | 15:02 |
| SharpRain | and say "Firefox: 4" | 15:02 |
| SharpRain | and when i click it I can select which firefox window I have | 15:02 |
| SharpRain | how do I turn window "stacking" on? | 15:02 |
| bigjocker | SharpRain, are you talking about the task manager? | 15:02 |
| SharpRain | No | 15:02 |
| SharpRain | you know in windows | 15:02 |
| SharpRain | Windows* | 15:02 |
| SharpRain | how windows stack | 15:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Yellerado_: you could add a folder to opera's plugin paths | 15:03 |
| JacobT | YPBINDPROC_DOMAIN: Domain not bound | 15:03 |
| scunizi | SharpRain: you mean "Tabs" | 15:03 |
| SharpRain | umm | 15:03 |
| SharpRain | Maybe | 15:03 |
| SharpRain | how do I enable tabs? | 15:03 |
| bigjocker | SharpRain, at the bottom you have a task manager, where you have all the running applications .... you want those application to be grouped by program | 15:03 |
| bazhang | !enter | SharpRain | 15:03 |
| ubottu | SharpRain: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 15:03 |
| bigjocker | SharpRain, is that correct? | 15:03 |
| SharpRain | yes | 15:03 |
| bigjocker | SharpRain, as far as I know you cant do that in gnome, but you can in KDE (using Kubuntu) | 15:04 |
| SharpRain | Hmm | 15:04 |
| SharpRain | Smart decision on their part | 15:04 |
| scunizi | SharpRain: Edit > Preferences > Tabs.. always show.. however right now you can right mouse click the bar where the single tab is and say "open new tab" and they will magically appear. | 15:04 |
| bigjocker | SharpRain, sorry | 15:04 |
| === Sysop is now known as dave65 | ||
| bigjocker | SharpRain, you can do that in gnome | 15:04 |
| bigjocker | SharpRain, right click on the taskbar and choose preferences | 15:05 |

| SharpRain | oh, I see it | 15:08 |
| SharpRain | I'm at preferences | 15:09 |
| Yellerado | ActionParsnip: Still no cigar. | 15:09 |
| bigjocker | SharpRain, you have grouping windows preferences in there | 15:10 |
| SharpRain | oh, thanks. | 15:10 |
| bigjocker | SharpRain, BTW .... I hate that feature ;) | 15:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Yellerado: thats all i know dude, could try editting the folders opera searches for plugins and either add one or put te plugin there | 15:10 |
| SharpRain | Lol | 15:10 |

| Yellerado | ActionParsnip: I noticed I have both flashplugin-alternative.so and libflashplayer.so in the plugins dir. Maybe they're conflicting with each other? | 15:11 |
| dave65 | that was no flood :) | 15:11 |
| LjL | dave65: indeed, it was the "don't use Enter as punctuation" part of it. | 15:11 |

| grawity | trap2: Install the 'samba' package. Then right-click on the directory you want to share. | 15:13 |

| JazzplayerL9 | question. I just updated my VIA Artigo to 9.10 beta and the VT1708/A sound card disappears when I try to adjust the sound properties in gnome. Not a big deal except that sound also stops working once this happens. Anyone know where I can see the logs of what happened? | 15:38 |
| phix | LjL: buddy!!! how's it going? | 15:38 |
| souler | Anyone.... how can I install wireless drivers for my laptop??? I don't know what kind of I need. | 15:38 |
| LjL | phix, stop stalking me ok? | 15:38 |

| grawity | downstar: | 15:38 |
| grawity | errr. | 15:38 |
| Pici | JazzplayerL9 : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Karmic/9.10 support/discussion. | 15:38 |
| grawity | downstar: You cannot decrypt /etc/shadow, if that's what you are talking about. | 15:38 |

| downstar | basically what i mean is for say like, a user account or something, or like windows SAM file is what has all passwords of users encrypted, it can be decrypted. is it possible on linux? | 15:39 |
| === kk is now known as Guest63614 | ||
| maco | souler: that is not a reason to call ops | 15:39 |
| LjL | souler: and yet you knew about the !ops command? | 15:40 |
| phix | LjL: How's the new Ubuntu coming along? | 15:40 |
| jrib | souler: only call !ops if there is an actual emergency in the channel that ops need to deal with please | 15:40 |
| LjL | phix: i haven't the slighest idea. | 15:40 |
| LjL | phix: and i'd rather stay on topic. | 15:40 |
| souler | LjL, some one used it yesterday when I was asking for help on other topics. | 15:40 |
| shortlord | it worked with chat.freenode.net/8001 thx a lot | 15:40 |
| phix | ah ok, you just moderate this channel hey | 15:40 |
| phix | LjL: Ubuntu isn't within topic? | 15:40 |
| LjL | phix, in other words - LEAVE ME ALONE | 15:40 |
| phix | ah ok | 15:40 |
| phix | carry on then | 15:40 |
| scunizi | shortlord: with irc.freenode.net the port is 6667 or something similar.. | 15:41 |
| phix | so, who needs Ubuntu help? | 15:41 |
| Memphisto | i need :) | 15:41 |
| sipior | downstar: technically, the passwords are hashed, not encrypted. that turns out to be an important distinction. reversing a hash is not generally feasible in a reasonable amount of time (else it wouldn't be very useful) | 15:41 |
| sam1 | How can i find /dev file of perticular device | 15:41 |
| Memphisto | phix, how come theres keyboard error through vnc and NOT on ubuntu pc? | 15:42 |
| sam1 | please any one reply | 15:42 |
| grawity | scunizi: Freenode has a few alternate ports for those users who cannot use :6667. | 15:42 |
| === lianimator1 is now known as lianimator | ||
| souler | maco, then what is the reason to call them? If no one else is helping me. | 15:42 |
| sam1 | i have Multimedia video controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Video Capture | 15:42 |
| sam1 | locklace:modinfo bt878 showing driver exist | 15:42 |
| sam1 | then which is its /dev file? | 15:42 |
| scunizi | grawity: understood.. the only other one I knew is 8001 on chat.freenode.net | 15:42 |
| downstar | sipior: well i know one of my college professors was able to decrypt/hash a sam file for me to get a username pw for a laptop i had found. im curios how to do that, and if its doable on linux. | 15:42 |
| sipior | downstar: password crackers rely on hashing a large number of entries, and comparing those with a password list. this is obviously not terribly efficient, hence the recommendations for selecting a good password (i.e., one that will take a cracker a long time to get to) | 15:42 |
| simon__ | skype wont work on ubuntu 9.04 it casues my system to crash can anyone here advise me??????? | 15:42 |
| grawity | downstar: Windows' SAM? | 15:43 |
| downstar | grawity: yes | 15:43 |
| maco | souler: when someone shows up spamming the channel or swearing or posting links to inappropriate images and needs to be banned, THAT is when ops are called | 15:43 |
| phix | sipior: since hashing is a one way function it would be impossible to get the original password from it. It would be possible to find another password that hashes to the same value, although a good hashing function reduces the chances of this | 15:43 |
| grawity | downstar: Windows uses MD4, and there are ways to brute-force it really quickly. (Rainbow tables, using graphic cards to do the math, etc.) | 15:43 |
| jrib | downstar: you can't decrypt a hash, that makes no sense | 15:43 |
| mbeierl | how do I search apt to find the package that provides libtermcap.so.2? | 15:43 |
| grawity | downstar: But to reverse it is impossible. (At least now.) | 15:43 |
| sipior | phix: i think i just said that. | 15:43 |
| phix | sipior: you did, after I started typing :P | 15:44 |
| jrib | mbeierl: use apt-file or packages.ubuntu.com | 15:44 |
| Pici | mbeierl: install apt-file, run sudo apt-file update then: apt-file search libtermcap.so.2 | 15:44 |
| maco | downstar: is called a one-way hash for a reason. you can keep trying to strings over and over til you find one that hashes the same | 15:44 |
| arand | scunizi: there are a few: http://freenode.net/irc_servers.shtml | 15:44 |
| maco | downstar: thats called password cracking | 15:44 |
| === rsc____ is now known as rsc___ | ||
| grawity | downstar: Most Linux distros support several hash types, and all of them use some kind of a salt, so it's a "little" harder to do that. (There are programs such as John the Ripper though.) | 15:44 |
| mbeierl | Pici: jrlb: thanks! | 15:44 |

| cam_icabod_taylo | need to be able to ldap auth at sign in Ubuntu 9.04. Any ideas | 15:45 |
| simon__ | how wud i go about compiling it if the fersion they have on the skype site wont work | 15:45 |
| ikonia | simon__: skype is closed source | 15:46 |
| downstar | toall: i didnt mean decrypt a hash, i meant whatever it is to reverse it. (dont know the tech term) i know there are password crackers, but i mean. say theres was a dual-boot vista/ubuntu laptop. dont know pw's to either of them, but you cdboot to a linux distro, any will do. and copy the vistas sam file to a flash drive. how would you then decrypt/reverse hash or w.e its called, to get the pw you need for the useraccount? | 15:46 |
| grawity | downstar: So. _WHY_ do you need to do that? | 15:46 |
| simon__ | i know but i need it cus my friends use the dam thing | 15:46 |
| ikonia | downstar: that makes no sense | 15:46 |
| ZoeyMarie | My /boot/grub/menu.lst has several entries that are seemingly the same, with the exception of the modifiers "quiet" and "splash" in them... can I delete the recurrences, or should I just comment them out? | 15:46 |
| simon__ | they have a dynamic version what is this?? | 15:47 |
| downstar | grawity: i dont need to, but my teacher had to do it for me. im curious how he did it :P | 15:47 |
| jrib | downstar: you're still not making sense but this isn't on-topic at all anyway | 15:47 |
| mrichman | Which is the best SOCKS5 proxy server to use? | 15:47 |
| ikonia | downstar: ask your teacher | 15:47 |
| downstar | i did, he wont tell me lol. | 15:47 |
| ikonia | mrichman: "socks5" is the most common one I've used (ut's called socks5) it's a little old though and not maintained as well as it was | 15:47 |
| grawity | downstar: There are several tools to brute-force the hashes Windows uses. (0phcrack, also some Elcomsoft thing if I remember correctly) | 15:47 |
| downstar | but how am i not making sense :S? tell what doesnt make sense, and ill try to reword it. | 15:48 |
| phix | although crypt() uses a form of DSA doesn't it? | 15:48 |
| mrichman | ikonia: i just need something light to put on my VPS so my wife can use it to hit Facebook from work lol | 15:48 |
| grawity | phix: Only if you ask it to. (I think it defaults to SHA1 now.) | 15:48 |
| h1d | hello, is it possible to have multiple instance of dokuwiki to run by a single installation from an ubuntu package? 2 different wiki sites from a single installation | 15:48 |
| simon__ | cud i try the debian version instead of the ubuntu version?? | 15:48 |
| jrib | downstar: take it elsewhere please, this has nothing to do with ubuntu | 15:48 |
| grawity | downstar: But my preferred way is to _change_ the password. | 15:48 |
| masquerade | afik ophcrack is commonly used to crack windows hashes | 15:48 |
| phix | grawity: nice, I use MD5 still :S :) | 15:48 |
| ikonia | mrichman: don't use socks5 for that, just use a standard proxy like squid | 15:48 |
| downstar | jrib: actually, if i use ubuntu to get the password of windows, it has quite alot to do with ubuntu | 15:48 |
| grawity | phix: /etc/pam.d/common-password has the hash setting. | 15:48 |
| mrichman | ikonia: squid can do SOCKS5 with authentication? | 15:48 |
| jrib | downstar: no, it doesn't. | 15:48 |
| mbeierl | Urg. Seems that libtermcap.so.2 is not provided by anyone :( | 15:48 |
| === administrator is now known as Guest99528 | ||
| grawity | downstar: Not really. It does have something to do with Linux in general, but not with Ubuntu. | 15:49 |
| ikonia | mrichman: no, but I don't understand why you want a socks proxy rather than a http proxy for facebook | 15:49 |
| mrichman | ikonia: she also uses AIM, so I figured SOCKS vs. HTTP | 15:49 |
| phix | grawity: yup, so does /etc/pam_ldap.conf | 15:49 |
| cam_icabod_taylo | Can one establish a wireless connection before signin? | 15:49 |

| ikonia | mrichman: well, the one I've used the most is "socks5" | 15:50 |
| downstar | well even still. you guys dont have to answer, not like its required. but if someone responds, obviously it isnt minded being conversed about. | 15:50 |
| void_pointer | downstar you had an answer; ophcrack. I'd stop asking about it now | 15:50 |
| mrichman | grawity: my wife wont be able to set up ssh on her end | 15:50 |
| grawity | mrichman: ssh -fND 1080 your-remote-server.com, and there you have a SOCKS proxy on localhost:1080 | 15:50 |

| grawity | mrichman: 1) You install openssh-server on your server. (I think it's already installed.) | 15:51 |
| ZoeyMarie | My /boot/grub/menu.lst has several entries that are seemingly the same, with the exception of the modifiers "quiet" and "splash" in them... can I delete the recurrences, or should I just comment them out? | 15:52 |

| grawity | phix: Well, he said "server". What server doesn't come with ssh? | 15:52 |
| mrichman | grawity: yes openssh-server is already running | 15:52 |
| phix | grawity: ubuntu | 15:52 |
| grawity | phix: Ubuntu Server does, AFAIK. | 15:52 |
| phix | ah | 15:52 |
| void_pointer | server has open-ssh installed by default | 15:52 |
| grawity | mrichman: 2) You configure a user account for your wife. | 15:52 |
| void_pointer | er openssh-server I meant | 15:53 |
| grawity | mrichman: 2) Your wife runs ssh -fND 1080 your-server-address, and then uses localhost:1080 for the proxy address. | 15:53 |

| downstar | Keiya: sugar** sorry. lack of sleep :/ | 16:00 |
| downstar | Keiya: yea jsut undo what u did, uninstall the sugar from the ppa, and then reinstall it from a different source that maybe doesnt upgrade your meta. | 16:01 |
| Keiya_ | downstar: But that wouldn't 'downgrade' metacity :/ | 16:01 |

If you do want to remove them I'd recommend uninstalling the old kernel packages, which will automatically update that file and remove the old entries... | 16:08 |

| rsk | !runlevel | piranha2 | 17:38 |
| ubottu | piranha2: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. | 17:38 |

| Idioteque | i tried adding using the xorg but it doesnt work | 17:46 |
| rsk | mee_: no, it's not any package systems fault, it's the fault that you are using something outside of apt-get annd then run a upgrade that changes how things work. | 17:46 |
| rsk | mee_: and the library hasn't changed to fit with the upgrade. | 17:46 |
| rsk | mee_: you can only blaim this on not doing things the right way. | 17:47 |

| McHavok | This is my first time in here :$ | 18:51 |

| grumete | guys please help me, my ubuntu after a software update it's not recognizing my graphic card, and it shows a screen resolution that doesn't fits, it's too big and imposible to work on. | 19:04 |

| Ali | ttreake, then type: gnome-terminal | 19:05 |

| ZykoticK9 | tsrk_, hold on - sudo apt-get update -- now i have a vbox update to do - hold on i'll check | 19:13 |

| bucky | blendmaster1024, it's been replaced with /etc/initramfs-tools/ you need a newer guide preferable a jaunty one | 19:23 |
| maestrojed | ZykoticK9: Comcast's static IP is so different then anything else I have set up. They say/expect the machine to use the static IP they assign you. Your modem expects that ip. But this means my IPs are not local. i.e. IP = 174.7.214.37 gateway = 174.7.214.38 mask = 255.255.255.252. Do you think broadcast would be 174.7.214.255? | 19:23 |
| ZykoticK9 | BrownTI, I use it - what is your question (if it isn't an easy one I probably won't know) | 19:24 |

| ubottu | Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 19:57 |

Child processes failing to execute, the system locks up, or it starts to do a file check when it boots and can't ever finish it. My opinion guys, switch back to windows, or Mac. | 20:05 |

| * Viking667 doesn't know what "turbo print" is. | 20:08 | |
| r0cketman | @josh: AFAIK, you can't 'change' a filesystem from one to another. You have to backup the data, then blow away the filesystem, create the new filesystem, then restore the data. | 20:08 |

| WhiteCrow1 | ratboy: so gnome is exist | 20:11 |
| ZykoticK9 | jacquesdupontd, two alternatives I see 1) use gksudo in your script and it should pop up a gui password prompt 2) add whatever command/user to the sudoers file with NOPASSWD | 20:11 |
| jacquesdupontd | i wanna execute a script but in this script there's a command with sudo (super user) and that is not beeing able to be applied cause it must ask the password and i don't remember how to make script that pass super user commands so we can launch those script on the startup | 20:11 |

| r0cketman | @josh: what's your end-game? Will the new drive remain in the machine? If so, then just pop it in, create the ext3 filesystem and copy over the data (don't use rsync). If you're wanting to use the existing drive/partition and pull the new drive, then a livecd would probably be best, IMO. | 20:12 |

| mezquitale | weebit, if you need apps in ubuntustudio then use ubuntustudio, whatever other apps you need you can install the normal ubuntu way, if you install normal ubuntu it's going to be a pain to install an app that's installed in ubuntustudio by default | 20:31 |
| Kingsy-Laptop | ZykoticK9 - no but I have my laptop, this machine on the net and a memory stick to transfer stuff if that would work? | 20:31 |

| hadean | i cant type brackets anymore, what can i do? Can anyone help me? | 20:32 |
| ZykoticK9 | Kingsy-Laptop, sorry man, that's WAY beyond my ability. My strong recommendation is try to get a wired connection - which will probably install the driver to get your wireless working. Good luck. | 20:33 |
| ratboy | WhiteCrow1: once you removed gnome and rebooted you can see login screen, once you put your details in you are in the shell | 20:33 |

| starcannon | Blackbird for shoutcast Songbird is the ticket, its my favorite online "radio" and player for said. | 21:18 |
| gisserver | is there any way to solve this? | 21:18 |
| gisserver | anyone? | 21:18 |
| Blackbird | starcannon: Oh, good. Because exaile was asking me for packages that are no longer supported for its streaming plugin. | 21:18 |
| dragon | gisserver: CAPS lock button? | 21:18 |
| gisserver | aye , the keys in Uppercase | 21:19 |
| shiznebit | gisserver have you tried all possible combinations | 21:19 |
| shiznebit | gisserver, have you been able to connect to any Access Point ? | 21:19 |
| mgv1 | what is the default firefox font and font size? | 21:19 |
| starcannon | Blackbird, songbird is based off of mozilla, so it's pretty cool about that :) | 21:19 |
| mgv1 | what can make my laptop microphone not to work? | 21:20 |
| Blackbird | starcannon: ...Um, wonderful, I assume I have to compile songbird, don't I? | 21:20 |
| shiznebit | its not enabled ? | 21:20 |
| shiznebit | mgv1, its not enabled ? | 21:20 |
| gisserver | at any time of the day, it let me connect, using shared key, but im thinking that this is this computer | 21:20 |
| starcannon | Blackbird, nope, just unpack it where you want to run it from then click on the songbird file and tell it run(not run in terminal), you can even make a nice shortcut to your desktop by adding a launcher and pointing it there | 21:21 |
| dragon | how is gnome's ~/.config/monitors.xml file generated? | 21:21 |
| mgv1 | shiznebit, the microphone not recording or show sings of life and i dont know about enabaling | 21:21 |

| uday | yes dualbooted with windows | 21:26 |
| Nitro_ | uday> i would check all the properties in the volume control and make sure all the sliders ae up | 21:27 |

| suffe | myownserver: if you have sudo access as a user, change it back that way | 21:32 |
| arleslie | myownserver, you could of forgot it, someone else could of changed it | 21:33 |
| myownserver | arleslie: Nope, not the case. | 21:33 |

| dragon | epaphus: You can try chromium. It's in alpha, but is pretty stable. At least it works for me. | 21:34 |
| Arodon | hey, does suspend-to-disk still require a separate swap partition these days? Or is just a swap file sufficient? | 21:34 |

| scyx | does anyone have experience with fsarchiver for partition backups? or know of any other way to make browsable backups of ext4 partitions? | 21:34 |
| amerinese | There used to be a Nautilus preference under "System->Preferences->File Management" Where is that located now? | 21:34 |
| gisserver | so wise suffe, but do you think that IRC is used to tell the people use google? | 21:36 |
| gisserver | Im here because if any one knows : Ok compiled all in one : i have wifi problems, and i ve done dmesg | grep iwl3945 and it shows me at the last line : Error sending REPLY_tx_PWR_table_cmd , any one can help?? | 21:36 |
| suffe | gisserver: I was hoping it would give you some help. it seems to be a bug and all those topics might lend you a hand | 21:37 |
| gisserver | ok think that it was what youve should answer at first time | 21:38 |
| gisserver | i clean my ass with ubuntu | 21:38 |
| FlyByRaci | Question? Under windows i can connect utomattically to a network, under ubuntu it will connect to a network automatically but will not let me connect to a network and show a reduced signal strength? | 21:39 |

| uday | suffe:i hav again installed in other system there i'm getting the sound | 21:44 |
| suffe | uday: I'm trying to find the answer somewhere deep inside my head (or at least a possible one). I remember having the exact same issue and I think one of the mixers for the sound daemon solved it | 21:44 |

| === McPeter_ is now known as McPeter | ||
| njbair | soreau: when a gnome session is loaded, if compiz is the display manager, it needs to load before the WM loads. Once upon a time, this was the case.

| suffe | Welshy-Rob: google ubuntu public_html to get more info on setting up directories for other users | 22:01 |
| Mewtwo | It gives me "dependency problems prevent configuration of guile-1.6-libs" when I try. | 22:01 |
| LjL | Mewtwo: are you doing both in the same line? | 22:01 |
| Mewtwo | Hm? | 22:02 |
| LjL | Mewtwo: like sudo dpkg -i pkg1.deb pkg2.deb | 22:02 |
| Blackbird | sebsebseb: ...Oh, obviously. Rhythmbox is trying to look for a GStreamer library, which w32 codecs obviously isn't. | 22:02 |
| Mewtwo | Oh, I wasn't aware that was possible. Thanks! | 22:02 |
| sebsebseb | Blackbird: ah ha yeah gstreamer | 22:02 |
| sebsebseb | Blackbird: there are a few differnet gstremer plugins or whateve they are that can be isntalled from the repo. good, ugly and bad | 22:02 |
| sebsebseb | Blackbird: have a look in Synaptic or something | 22:02 |
| Blackbird | sebsebseb: I have all three. | 22:03 |
| sebsebseb | Blackbird: ok that's not it then I guess | 22:03 |
| Blackbird | sebsebseb: Auto-installed with restricted extras and the generic first-time jaunty update. | 22:03 |
| sebsebseb | Blackbird: Why exaile by the way? Banshee is a good player to, and a good one to test in | 22:03 |
| Blackbird | sebsebseb: A friend recommended it to me, and so far I've liked it. | 22:03 |
| sebsebseb | Blackbird: right, but maybe you need something else for WMA | 22:04 |
| ArmOrAttAk | how can i change default resolution from the shell, i see xorg.conf isn't used... | 22:04 |
| sebsebseb | Blackbird: in fact there will be ways to convert WMA into another format, but I don't know the details | 22:04 |
| Blackbird | sebsebseb: I can do that. WMA to WAV to anything. | 22:04 |
| DaZ | ArmOrAttAk: xrandr -s | 22:04 |
| PMT | World, I'm in Karmic, and I want to get rid of the list of users with an "Other" prompt and instead just have the username/password prompts of old. I don't know where I can change this, though, and searching isn't help. | 22:04 |
| sebsebseb | Blackbird: MP3, or OGG or Flac would be better | 22:05 |
| PMT | *helping, even. | 22:05 |
| DaZ | ah, default | 22:05 |
| DaZ | nvm ;f | 22:05 |
| Blackbird | sebsebseb: Thing is, this is lossless WMA. So I don't know if the WAV would do the same. | 22:05 |
| sebsebseb | Blackbird: OGG/Vorbis and Flac being open formats as well :) | 22:05 |
| ubuntu | how to mount a usb? i cannot discern what /dev block is | 22:05 |
| sebsebseb | Blackbird: I don't think many people play music using wav files | 22:05 |
| === iainbuclaw is now known as ibuclaw | ||
| Blackbird | sebsebseb: NO, no, you don't see what I mean. Would going from WMA to FLAC through WAV retain the losslessness, so to speak? | 22:05 |
| erUSUL | Blackbird: WMA is not lossless | 22:06 |
| monster | ubuntu: check dmesg for the /dev/device | 22:06 |
| dennisman | Hello, I highlighted the partition I want to use but when clcing "Forward" an error message tells me the i've identified a root file what does it mean? | 22:06 |
| Blackbird | esUSUL: There's a specific brand of WMA that is supposedly lossless. Super-high bitrate. | 22:06 |
| otmehl | erUSUL: there is a WMA lossless | 22:07 |
| sebsebseb | !karmic | PMT | 22:07 |
| ubottu | PMT: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 29th, 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 | 22:07 |
| monster | dennisman: it means your filesystem / is located there | 22:07 |
| erUSUL | Blackbird: fair enough then the answer is yes wma(lossless) --> wav --> flac is a lossless transformation | 22:07 |
| suffe | otmehl: done correctly, it should then keep it lossless. seems weird otherwise | 22:08 |
| dennisman | So how can I select the partition i want to use without deleting xp? | 22:08 |
| Blackbird | Wonderful. I'll do it. But first, I'll test banshee to see if it plays the thing. | 22:08 |
| sebsebseb | erUSUL: Good someone here who knows about music formats, more than me | 22:08 |
| erUSUL | ;) | 22:09 |
| papajack | hi | 22:09 |
| sebsebseb | erUSUL: well personally I don't care that much about them | 22:09 |
| papajack | If I want to install skype, is it ok if I install it for ubuntu 8.04 ? I don't see it available for 9+ | 22:09 |
| Blackbird | Neither do I. Half my collection is MP3 in 192 kbps. | 22:09 |
| sebsebseb | papajack: yes that should work | 22:09 |
| papajack | ok | 22:10 |
| suffe | papajack: go ahead | 22:10 |
| Blackbird | But I was experimenting with WMA lossless when ripping this CD, wanted to know what it was like. | 22:10 |
| dragon | evolution is eating up all my memory. ideas? http://imagebin.org/66583 | 22:10 |
| erUSUL | Blackbird: you should have choosed and open format like flac ;) | 22:10 |
| sebsebseb | papajack: might have to set things up in it though, which may be annoying | 22:10 |
| monster | dragon do you have the latest version? | 22:10 |
| dragon | monster: yes | 22:11 |
| Myxb | hi! i have 2G of physical memory. htop used to show 1985M, today it shows 1921M. it's a 64bit system, in 32bit figure is IIRC bigger... do not remember the number. MS shown 2045M. can anyone explain the difference to me, please? and why the totals might have changed over time? | 22:11 |
| monster | dragon: how large is your mailbox? | 22:11 |
| papajack | hm | 22:11 |
| thebloggu | can someone tell me if i can set my resolution over the maximum (i am using nvidia drivers) | 22:11 |
| sebsebseb | papajack: and not that easy to do, unless you know about Linux sound for example | 22:11 |
| thebloggu | ? | 22:11 |
| dragon | monster: pretty small | 22:11 |
| Blackbird | erUSUL: I could, yeah. Or I could have done what I did with the rest of my music library and set it as MP3 320 kbps, for compatibility. | 22:11 |
| monster | latest version for ubuntu? or latest src version | 22:11 |
| papajack | I'll give it a try | 22:11 |
| sebsebseb | papajack: good luck | 22:11 |
| papajack | thanks:) | 22:11 |
| dragon | monster: latest for ubuntu, and it includes evolution-mapi plugin from the repos | 22:11 |
| frogfoo | dragon: i guess if you restart it, it'll eat less memory | 22:12 |
| frogfoo | dragon: or you could use mutt | 22:12 |
| monster | you might consider downloading the latest source and compile the newer version if there is one | 22:12 |
| Blackbird | Banshee won't open WMA either. | 22:12 |
| Blackbird | I give up. | 22:12 |
| Blackbird | I'll convert. | 22:12 |
| sebsebseb | Blackbird: or use mplayer? | 22:12 |
| Blackbird | sebsebseb: For managing a 6000-song playlist? No thank you. | 22:13 |
| sebsebseb | Blackbird: ok | 22:13 |
| dragon | frogfoo: yeah i have to restart it every 15 minutes to bring mem consumption down. I wish mutt supported M$ Exchange. | 22:13 |
| Blackbird | In fact, I might just send away those silly WMA files off a CD and record the tracks again off a vinyl. | 22:13 |
| sebsebseb | Blackbird: Do you know how to convert, if not I guess erUSUL might be able to help you with that | 22:13 |
| monster | dragon: apt-get build-deps evolution, wget src, ./configure, make && make install | 22:13 |
| frogfoo | dragon: you shoudl probably report that as a bug | 22:13 |
| Blackbird | sebsebseb: Not necessary. I can just get them off the vinyl, or I can run them through my other computer. | 22:13 |
| Blackbird | sebsebseb: I have a program that does anything-to-WAV-or-AIFF conversions. | 22:14 |
| dennisman | Why Why when attemping to highlight the partition I want to use, I got an error message "You haven't identified a root file", what does that mean, how can I overcome this problem? | 22:14 |
| sebsebseb | Blackbird: oh ok | 22:14 |
| dragon | monster: I think there would be a latest deb package in the backports repo. | 22:14 |
| frogfoo | dennisman: are you installing ubuntu? | 22:14 |
| MaximLevitsky | Problem : there are many incomplete bug reports | 22:14 |
| dennisman | yeah/1 | 22:14 |
| sebsebseb | frogfoo: I was going to ask that | 22:14 |
| sebsebseb | dennisman: ok your doing manual install by the sounds of it | 22:14 |
| MaximLevitsky | Solution: make it harder to report bugs | 22:14 |
| frogfoo | dennisman: i think it means that you haven't selected a root partition | 22:14 |
| bucky | dennisman, you haven't specified / <- root, the top level of your file system | 22:15 |
| monster | dennisman: you need to set one of the partitions to map to "/" if your doing expert mode | 22:15 |
| monster | dragon: mostlikely | 22:15 |
| frogfoo | dennisman: you need one partition to have the mount point / | 22:15 |
| dragon | !partitioning | dennisman | 22:15 |
| ubottu | dennisman: For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted, !QtParted (!Kubuntu 8.10 and lower) or !PartitionManager (!Kubuntu 9.04 and up) - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap | 22:15 |
| frogfoo | dennisman: this is the root partition | 22:15 |
| sebsebseb | monster: expert mode hmm manual partitioning is hardly expert | 22:15 |
| MaximLevitsky | Why, on the earth launchpad redirects to wiki page for every ubuntu package? | 22:15 |
| dennisman | ok, i'll try! | 22:15 |
| monster | sebsebseb: I dont recall what they called it | 22:15 |
| dragon | MaximLevitsky: um, because we can't do that on moon, yet? | 22:15 |
| sebsebseb | monster: oh ok | 22:15 |
| frogfoo | [plus, why on the earth can't i download image attachments without logging into the ubuntu forums?] | 22:16 |
| monster | I did find it fun that i couldnt do LVM encryption for swap by defualt on the desktop ubuntu install | 22:17 |
| sebsebseb | monster: you need the alternate CD to do encryption | 22:17 |
| Blackbird | Are any of you familiar with the SUper Joybox 13 GameCube controller-to-USB adapter? Because I would want to know whether that one would work with Ubuntu. | 22:17 |
| monster | I did a server install then, apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 22:17 |
| Blackbird | For emulators and the like. | 22:17 |
| dennisman | Thanks I got it! | 22:17 |
| MaximLevitsky | dragon: just wait, the launchpad will soon launch itself to the moon, so to send a bugreport you would have to have a amateur radio license and high power transmitter | 22:17 |
| sebsebseb | monster: and for most computers that isn't really nessarey | 22:18 |
| monster | true | 22:18 |
| monster | i am paranoid | 22:18 |
| dragon | MaximLevitsky: Launchpad is a launchpad, not a rocket. It'll launch someone else. | 22:18 |
| ArmOrAttAk | DaZ: that's logging me out then resetting | 22:18 |

| nlogax | anyone running ubuntu on a recent-ish imac? | 22:19 |
| monster | the vm is just for secure stuff | 22:19 |
| ArmOrAttAk | out of the desktop yeah | 22:19 |
| AnirbanHazra | Though my VPS has enough RAM it is saying "unable to fork memory" | 22:19 |
| markl_ | AnirbanHazra: which bean counter is increasing | 22:19 |
| ArmOrAttAk | i flip over to ctrl-alt-f2 | 22:20 |
| monster | and i didnt want to encrypt base install cause it is a bit slower. | 22:20 |
| frogfoo | monster: is that wise? surely anyone who hacks your regular account on the host has root on the vm | 22:20 |
| pietrubens | problem: finished a dual-boot vista/ubuntu8.10, in vista wireless ok, in ubuntu nothing, somebody recomended in terminal lspci, a bunch of words, i have no clue, and still not working. hardware: laptop, HP pavilion | 22:20 |

| frogfoo | monster: i.e. i'm not sure how the vm is more secure | 22:20 |
| frogfoo | monster: oh? | 22:20 |
| pietrubens | i am a true beginner | 22:20 |
| AnirbanHazra | markl_ : bean_counter ? | 22:20 |
| frogfoo | monster: is the image encrypted? | 22:20 |
| markl_ | AnirbanHazra: you are using openvz? | 22:20 |
| monster | frogfoo: to start the VM they need the passphrase to unencrypt the LVM | 22:20 |
| frogfoo | monster: ok | 22:21 |
| AnirbanHazra | markl_: yes | 22:21 |
| markl_ | AnirbanHazra: cat /proc/user_beancounters | 22:21 |
| sebsebseb | monster: OpenBSD would be more secure | 22:21 |

| FlyByRaci | Hey all i got a problem with my Realtek RTL8187B not connecting to the internet? any suggestions | 22:22 |
| almostAg33k | i installed a game using wine but i had to go through gksu nautilus. how the hell do i get rid of it? | 22:22 |

| alant1 | How can I fix my partition table without harming data. Currently, gparted is reporting no active partitions but my computer boots correcly every thime? | 22:22 |
| markl_ | AnirbanHazra: and join #openvz as this is probably getting off topic for this channel :) | 22:22 |
| arleslie | pietrubens, whats the problem again? | 22:22 |
| monster | FlyByRaci: what does ifconfig show | 22:22 |
| sebsebseb | pietrubens: I belive that certain wireless support is better in 9.04 by default | 22:22 |
| pietrubens | @seb: was the only cd i had at hands, wanted to upgrade later, after installing it | 22:23 |
| sebsebseb | pietrubens: atheros wireless support | 22:23 |
| AnirbanHazra | markl_: Ha, most of them are zero .. one is 898 | 22:23 |
| pietrubens | @seb:??? what do you mean atheros? | 22:23 |
| markl_ | AnirbanHazra: which one? | 22:23 |
| sebsebseb | pietrubens: also 9.10 is coming out on October 29th, and hopefuly has even more wireless issues fixed, but that probably won't quite be the case | 22:23 |
| FlyByRaci | monster: sorr im a newb to linux and im on windows now cuz i cant connect to the internet while on ubuntu, so i just plug ifconfig in the terminal? | 22:23 |
| markl_ | AnirbanHazra: probably privvmpages | 22:23 |
| sebsebseb | pietrubens: a type of wireless basicalley | 22:24 |
| o_portista17 | when he request the Ubuntu CD, does it still comes with Stickers? | 22:24 |
| AnirbanHazra | markl_: kmemsize | 22:24 |
| pietrubens | ok | 22:24 |
| monster | FlyByRaci: it is a terminal command | 22:24 |
| sebsebseb | pietrubens: I don't know that much about wireless, however you might find this link useful | 22:24 |
| markl_ | AnirbanHazra: ah ok you just need to bump that one up | 22:24 |
| monster | FlyByRaci: do you have another machine, you can chat from? | 22:24 |
| sebsebseb | !wireless | pietrubens | 22:24 |

| monster | also | 22:24 |
| FlyByRaci | Monster no im at a hotel across the country lol | 22:24 |
| monster | FlyByRaci: if you get ndiswrapper installed | 22:25 |
| monster | you can use the window driver | 22:25 |
| AnirbanHazra | markl_ : Didn't understand u | 22:25 |
| monster | which makes it easy | 22:25 |
| timj | t | 22:25 |
| markl_ | AnirbanHazra: /join #openvz | 22:25 |
| monster | good luck install ndiswrapper without internet though | 22:25 |
| Myxb | people, can someone with a 64-bit system and 2G of memory post the output for total physical memory. i have $top Mem: 1967744k total. and i am confused about the figure. | 22:25 |
| FlyByRaci | monster: ok how much of a pain is the wrapper , yea i tohught thatd be hte problem | 22:25 |
| sebsebseb | pietrubens: also you can possibily use a Windows driver with Ndiswrapper, but it's better to try native Linux driver first (this is really for you as well FlyByRaci ) | 22:25 |
| alant1 | How can I fix my partition table without harming data. Currently, gparted is reporting no active partitions but my computer boots correctly every time? | 22:25 |
| frogfoo | FlyByRaci: you could download all of the debs by hand to your windows partition, then install them in ubuntu | 22:26 |
| frogfoo | FlyByRaci: figuring out which files to download is irritating, but not impossible | 22:26 |
| monster | FlyByRaci: give me a second ill give you an idea of what to do | 22:26 |
| FlyByRaci | monster: thanks laot man | 22:26 |
| frogfoo | alant1: why do you want to change the partition table if it is working correctly? | 22:27 |
| alant1 | it is reporting incorrectly and I want to install a second os | 22:27 |
| sebsebseb | monster: I think you can probably help pietrubens as well | 22:28 |
| monster | yeah | 22:28 |
| monster | i think they want to goto https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper | 22:28 |
| monster | got down to current supported release | 22:28 |
| === fccf1 is now known as fccf | ||
| monster | select your distro | 22:28 |
| frogfoo | alant1: i think "active" is windows-speak for bootable | 22:29 |
| monster | then drill down and download the .deb files for i386 | 22:29 |
| frogfoo | alant1: you can toggle the bootable flag on partitions using cfdisk, for example | 22:29 |
| monster | put them on usb key or something | 22:29 |
| monster | also get your .inf from your window driver | 22:29 |
| alant1 | either way, no partitions are showing | 22:29 |
| frogfoo | alant1: not showing where? | 22:29 |
| monster | god this is long and boring | 22:29 |
| alant1 | in gparted | 22:29 |
| monster | dpkg -i *.deb | 22:29 |
| frogfoo | alant1: that's odd | 22:30 |
| alant1 | frogfoo that what I thought too | 22:30 |
| sebsebseb | monster: really you should also try and help them get a driver working natively first, if you can :) | 22:30 |
| frogfoo | alant1: try running cfdisk /dev/sda (if this is the device name for your hard disk) and see what that can see | 22:30 |
| frogfoo | alant1: from the terminal, that is | 22:30 |
| Nord | Is there any way to install the alternate ISO without a CDROM or setting up a netboot install? | 22:30 |
| alant1 | right | 22:30 |
| FlyByRaci | monster:if i have the isntal cd is the wrapper on that? | 22:30 |
| frogfoo | alant1: erm, sudo cfdisk /dev/(whatever) | 22:30 |
| sebsebseb | !install | Nord | 22:30 |
| ubottu | Nord: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install?

| Nord | It seems impossible by using Wubi and creating a bootable USB disk doesnt work | 22:31 |
| monster | FlyByRaci: it could be | 22:31 |
| austinchau | hi | 22:31 |
| sebsebseb | Nord: Also Wubi can go bad on people | 22:31 |
| monster | put the cd in and do apt-get install ndisgtk | 22:31 |
| Nord | sebsebseb: Have you been successful installing the Alternate version by using that info? | 22:31 |
| Nord | sebsebseb: Wubi doesnt support Alternate since 7.04 for some reason | 22:32 |
| sebsebseb | Nord: and yes people get issues trying to make a USB install, and I have used the alternate CD before | 22:32 |
| alant1 | frogfoo interesting it is reporting correctly there . I winder what is going on with gparted | 22:32 |
| markl_ | anyone here familiar with putting python 2.6 onto ubuntu lts 8.04? | 22:32 |
| sebsebseb | Nord: What do you mean Wubi does not support alternate? | 22:32 |
| frogfoo | alant1: are you asked for your password when you run it? | 22:32 |
| Nord | sebsebseb: Question was, have you been successfull installing alternate without using a cdrom reader? | 22:32 |
| frogfoo | alant1: gparted, that is | 22:32 |
| Nord | sebsebseb: You cant install the Alternate iso by using Wubi since version 7.04 | 22:33 |
| Nord | sebsebseb: Dont know whjy | 22:33 |
| sebsebseb | Nord: No I have always used a drive, unless virtual machines count of course, when trying other distros out | 22:33 |
| pietrubens | i am out looking for a shotgun to put it against my head :o | 22:33 |
| sebsebseb | Nord: or virtual maching Windows or whatever | 22:33 |
| alant1 | frogfoo:Yed | 22:33 |
| Nord | sebsebseb: Yeah then it works | 22:33 |
| alant1 | yes | 22:33 |
| Nord | sebsebseb: Im trying to install it on my Netbook running windows | 22:33 |
| Nord | sebsebseb: I have an usb stick | 22:33 |
| Nord | sebsebseb: But i cant get it boot | 22:33 |
| frogfoo | alant1: well, assuming you've pointed gparted at the right partition, i think it should work then. report bug at will | 22:34 |
| sebsebseb | Nord: ah right I see a net book so no CD drive | 22:34 |
| Nord | sebsebseb: Exactly | 22:34 |
| alant1 | will do thatnks | 22:34 |

| [fade] | np | 22:34 |
| frogfoo | np | 22:34 |

| Nord | sebsebseb: I need to use the USB or Wubi, but none works. | 22:34 |
| sebsebseb | Nord: well you might be able to do a virtual machine, and the netinstall should work, but I have never done that | 22:34 |

| pietrubens | @seb??? | 22:37 |
| Nord | sebsebseb: If so, i had been able to install on virtualbox and then just dd the partition =) | 22:37 |
| sebsebseb | Nord: I guess try the forum like you suggested if you want, I can't exactly help you | 22:37 |

| bellatlantic | hi | 22:37 |
| frogfoo | Nord: i believe it's been ported :) | 22:37 |
| monster | Nord: you could use a livecd to dd windows partitions | 22:37 |
| Nord | frogfoo :)) | 22:37 |
| sebsebseb | Nord: You can run an ISO in virtaulbox | 22:37 |
| Nord | monster: Yeah but not virtual partitions in sun virtualbox =) | 22:38 |

| sebsebseb | Nord: well there might be a way to convert a vm into a psyicail partition, but in that case not easilley I guess, there's also a way to convert a wubi install into a psyicail install, I don't know how though | 22:38 |
| fccf | !ask | H3AV3N | 22:39 |
| ubottu | H3AV3N: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 22:39 |

| sebsebseb | !love > monster | 22:40 |
| ubottu | monster, please see my private message | 22:40 |
| markl_ | Tiggers: isn't that redundant? +x is how you know it is executable | 22:40 |
| monster | rofl | 22:40 |
| Tiggers | i mean if you have something that is compiled | 22:40 |
| markl_ | Tiggers: or are you trying to analyze the file type | 22:40 |

| Neonexus | anyone know how to re-calibrate a laptop battery? | 22:42 |
| sebsebseb | H3AV3N: There's also a way to install Gimpshop into Ubuntu, it makes The GIMP be more like Photoshop, all in one big frame | 22:42 |
| sebsebseb | H3AV3N: and there's Inkscape and such for graphics in the repo as well | 22:42 |
| linxeh | is there a way to enable a VNC server such that I can login remotely over it ? | 22:42 |
| markl_ | H3AV3N: run it in wine or something like crossover office | 22:42 |
| monster | Nord: we are talking about a virtual box windows vm correct? | 22:43 |
| markl_ | Tiggers: heh well you may need to write a script to run "file" on everything | 22:43 |
| H3AV3N | That's not my problem with GIMP. I've been using Photoshop for 6 years and I've gone to the point of no return when it comes to design. | 22:43 |
| H3AV3N | Crossover? | 22:43 |
| H3AV3N | Hmm, let me check that out. | 22:43 |
| markl_ | H3AV3N: crossover office is a commercial version of wine for use with things like photoshop | 22:44 |
| sebsebseb | H3AV3N: I see Adobe vender lock in, wikipedia have a good vender lock in page, but it is good software for the pros, and it's up to you to choose what to use | 22:44 |
| monster | Nord: what exactly are you trying to do to that partition with dd? | 22:44 |
| sebsebseb | H3AV3N: Yes it might work better in Crossover | 22:44 |
| markl_ | Tiggers: e.g. if file says "ELF 64-bit LSB executable" (or 32 bit) then you chmod +x | 22:44 |
| eminor | hello :) | 22:44 |
| Tiggers | ah okay | 22:44 |
| markl_ | Tiggers: probably need to look for scripts too | 22:44 |
| markl_ | it may not be a fun project | 22:45 |
| monster | H3AV3N: I recommend virtulbox xp/windows7 +photoshop | 22:45 |
| Lint_ | how can I update my system without downloading entire packets? | 22:45 |
| Tiggers | yeah I already got the scripts to have the correct permissions | 22:45 |
| markl_ | Tiggers: it may be possible to check the package database too? | 22:45 |
| monster | depending on system resources | 22:45 |
| markl_ | Tiggers: cool | 22:45 |
| sebsebseb | H3AV3N: monster has a good point there, you might be able to virtual machine it rather nicely | 22:45 |
| pradeep_ | why dont you virtualize windows | 22:46 |
| H3AV3N | Monster: My computer is as slow as it is without giving it the Vmware. 512mb of ram, AMD 64bit 3000+ so it's pretty old, I'm running Xubuntu so that sais it all :)) | 22:46 |
| Linx | Hi, recently I did an upgrade within ubuntu 9.04, after a reboot, Xorg crashes and the whole machine hangs, after removing fglrx I can get X to start in low graphics mode, but Wifi no longer works (broadcom wifi) | 22:46 |
| pradeep_ | on virtual box | 22:46 |
| sebsebseb | H3AV3N: oh 512MB RAM yeah that won't be that good for virtual machine | 22:46 |
| Linx | anyone have any ideas? | 22:46 |
| H3AV3N | I know :) | 22:46 |
| IdahoEv | I am confused about configuring sudo on a couple of Ubuntu Hardy slices I inherited from someone else. There is no "admin" group, and no entries in /etc/sudoers, and yet user 'deploy' has sudo access. Any ideas how else this might be configured. | 22:46 |
| Lint_ | how can I update my system without downloading entire packets? | 22:46 |
| sebsebseb | IdahoEv: slices??? | 22:46 |
| sebsebseb | IdahoEv: and configuring sudo? it should be set up by default to use | 22:47 |
| IdahoEv | sebsebseb: Sorry. VM images provided by Slicehost.com. So they call them slices. | 22:47 |
| IdahoEv | sebsebseb: do all users have sudo by default, then? | 22:47 |
| pradeep_ | H3AV3N not cool at all | 22:47 |
| Linx | at the time of the upgrade, there was a kernel upgrade and a few other things.. even booting an older kernel did not fix the problem with my laptop crashing when X started | 22:47 |
| pradeep_ | wont work | 22:47 |
| sebsebseb | IdahoEv: ok I have never heard of that site before, you should only download stuff from sources you trust for sure | 22:47 |
| IdahoEv | sebsebseb: Sorry, it's not a download - it's a live server. They were set up for my client by a previous admin, but I'm managing the site now. | 22:48 |
| pradeep_ | linx seem your graphics card is ATI | 22:48 |
| pradeep_ | huh | 22:48 |
| Linx | pradeep: correct 3200 HD | 22:48 |
| sebsebseb | IdahoEv: ok a hardy server so Ubuntu server yeah? | 22:48 |
| fccf | IdahoEv: that sounds like an OEM install... what is the username on that machine? | 22:48 |
| === jmrodri is now known as jmrodri-gone | ||
| Linx | was working fine before upgrade | 22:49 |
| H3AV3N | pradeep: I know. I just have this machine (the only machine for now) that has to do: internet, photoshop and music. The most critical of them is not running yet (that's photoshop). | 22:49 |
| IdahoEv | sebsebseb: Well, the guy who handed me the slice said it was configured with a ubuntu hardy image. | 22:49 |
| IdahoEv | fccf: the username on the machine? I'm not sure what you mean | 22:49 |
| frogfoo | Lint_: you can't? | 22:49 |
| sebsebseb | IdahoEv: well fccf might be able to help, also there's #ubuntu-server | 22:49 |
| frogfoo | Lint_: assuming that you mean packages, rather than packetes | 22:49 |
| fccf | IdahoEv: the login username... if it is oem then you have an incomplete install and there will be security concerns | 22:50 |
| Linx | wifi chipset is BCM4322 | 22:50 |
| H3AV3N | And wine is too-much-of-windows-microsoft-thingy as it is, so even if I would be able to run a virtual machine I'd do all that is possible not to. | 22:50 |
| Linx | VGA: RS780M/RS780MN | 22:50 |
| IdahoEv | The first slice (already configured) has a root account and an account called "deploy" that has sudo access. | 22:50 |
| pradeep_ | linx | 22:51 |
| monster | back | 22:51 |
| DrX | how do you reduce Gnomes display resolution from the command line? | 22:51 |
| sebsebseb | IdahoEv: fccf that's what I was thinking about as well security concerns, because of sudo not being set up to use by default for example | 22:51 |
| Linx | yep? | 22:51 |
| IdahoEv | the second slice (a new one I'm trying to configure similarly) I just created the deploy account, but can't figure out how to give it sudo access. | 22:51 |
| pradeep_ | you need to install | 22:51 |
| Lint_ | it is because of DEB repository? Can RPM systems do this? | 22:51 |
| sebsebseb | IdahoEv: I have a feeling that they have done the Big No Of Ubuntu which is setting a root password | 22:51 |
| IdahoEv | on the first one, where deploy already has sudo, i can't figure out how it does, because it doesn't have an an entry in /etc/sudoers, and there's no admin group | 22:51 |
| linxeh | sebsebseb: you can have a root password if you want, it just isnt necessary | 22:51 |
| pradeep_ | hey there are to many question here | 22:51 |
| Morgansl | Hi im trying to put some files into a folder and it wont let me. it says permission denied. how would i go about putting them in? | 22:52 |
| sebsebseb | linxeh: and not recommended in here | 22:52 |
| Malcor | Hello, could i trouble somone for some help with setting up a SVN im having some problems | 22:52 |
| durt | Lint_ both deb and rpm can do delta but delta-debs are not implemnted in Ubuntu at this time. | 22:52 |
| IdahoEv | yes, they clearly set a root password. I am trying to get away from using it by giving "deploy" sudo access on the 2nd box | 22:52 |
| pradeep_ | lets all do it one at a time | 22:52 |
| * Linx waits his turn | 22:52 | |
| sebsebseb | linxeh: they have bot factoids against it for example | 22:52 |
| monster | sebsebseb: one reason I didnt try and help them do the native drive was this. My wireless card only got 30% singal strengst and tons of noise till i did the ndiswrapper | 22:52 |
| linxeh | sebsebseb: I know; if you know what you are doing (and why) its not an issue any more than on any other distribution | 22:53 |
| monster | this is a case by case situation, but it was the place i would have started myself | 22:53 |
| fccf | sebsebseb: I agree, this was discussed this weekend, and there are only a few reasons that one would want a root password | 22:53 |
| sebsebseb | IdahoEv: see the stuff above linxeh fccf and me | 22:54 |
| fccf | IdahoEv: on an inital install the first user always has sudo access by default ... got me confused? | 22:55 |
| IdahoEv | Okay - I think I have figured it out. The 1st server does, in fact, have entries in /etc/sudoers | 22:55 |
| IdahoEv | I was looking in the wrong shell | 22:55 |
| fm | Ive installed Ubuntu numerous times. I am trying to install on an HP PAvillion A1000Y and it gets to loading X Windows, gives me an 'X' cursor, and then the video just cuts out | 22:55 |

| fm | I am googling for this and not finding anything | 22:55 |
| monster | disable acpi | 22:55 |
| IdahoEv | so the hosting company set it up with a root password and no admin group, and the previous admin just edited /etc/sudoers directly. bah. | 22:55 |
| sebsebseb | fm: A printer? | 22:55 |
| fm | I thought as much but didn't remember the command to pass the installer | 22:56 |
| monster | fm: its in the gui of 9.04 | 22:56 |
| fm | yes it has a crappy printer plugged in but probably acpi | 22:56 |
| sebsebseb | fm: Oh your doing a video card not a printer it seems | 22:56 |
| fm | what is the exact command I pass the installer on boot up to disable acpi ? | 22:56 |
| fccf | fm: noacpi .. befor quiet splash | 22:57 |

| fccf | hey`: er, looks like it forgot to upgrade your nvidia driver and went with the default ... suggest installing envyng and using it to get the correct driver .. then run nvidia-settings | 23:09 |
| Linx | pradeep: pm or paste bin the output? | 23:09 |
| Nord | whats the ifconfig command in the busybox (or whatever it is) when bringing up a shell in the install cd? | 23:09 |
| hey` | but I'm gonna try it again. | 23:09 |

| hey` | how do I restart X? with ctrl + alt + z? | 23:09 |
| dan2077 | frogfoo: ok thanks | 23:09 |
| hey` | I mean ctrl + alt + del? | 23:09 |
| iceroot | black_: you asked for prefered not for easy | 23:09 |
| iceroot | black_: i only know iwconfig | 23:10 |
| frogfoo | hey`: control-alt-backspace | 23:10 |
| frogfoo | hey`: assuming it's not been disabled | 23:10 |
| iceroot | hey`: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart ctrl + alt + backspace has been disabled in jaunty | 23:10 |
| black_ | iceroot: I didn't say easy either. | 23:10 |
| fccf | hey`: no, it is Ctrl-SysReq-K if you are on jaunty | 23:10 |
| black_ | I've been using iwconfig thus far. | 23:10 |
| fccf | !dontzap | 23:10 |
| ubottu | To re-enable the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace combination that restarts your X server, you can install the "dontzap" package and use the command « sudo dontzap --disable ». The combination Alt+SysRq+K can also be used to obtain a similar effect. | 23:10 |
| hey` | I'm in hardy guys. | 23:10 |

| frogfoo | mgv1: did you put ftp:// at the beginning? | 23:16 |
| sebsebseb | kebomix: What partitions do you have? | 23:16 |
| fccf | daveycakes: perhaps, however it is for different hardware entirely although the setups for the zte modem is similar | 23:18 |
| kebomix | sebsebseb: i have 7 partition and 2 of them are recovery and all of them are ntfs | 23:18 |
| hey` | guys it didn't work. | 23:18 |

| hey` | nvidia-xconfig did nothing. | 23:19 |
| mgv1 | frogfoo- ok - will it allow to upload files too? | 23:19 |
| sebsebseb | kebomix: Why 7? What are they? | 23:19 |

| jacobian | <pradeep_> right click and add | 23:19 |
| fccf | hey`: and restart x | 23:19 |
| kebomix | sebsebseb: the file manager on live cd read them and access them well | 23:19 |
| frogfoo | mgv1: i guess not | 23:19 |
| hey` | well, both, sudo this morning and root now. | 23:19 |
| jacobian | I mean, there are hardly any options when I right click | 23:19 |
| jacobian | I get a list of only a tiny number | 23:19 |
| frogfoo | mgv1: there are some nice console ftp clients but it's been years and years since i used them | 23:19 |
| hey` | yes fccf, I did my ctrl + alt +backspace | 23:19 |
| frogfoo | mgv1: ncftp, from memory? | 23:20 |
| sebsebseb | kebomix: ok 7 partitions is a lot | 23:20 |
| fccf | hey`: install envyng which will install the right driver, then nvidia-settings ... seems the driver is not installed or available locally | 23:20 |
| hey` | I wish I could go back and don't do that software update. | 23:20 |
| sebsebseb | kebomix: you probably don't need all that, tell me about your set up:) | 23:20 |
| kebomix | sebsebseb: 2 recovery , 1 windows, 2 data , (and 1 for mac and 1 for linux , i will install them ) , it doesn't read partitions since i got my laptop when it was only 3 partitions | 23:20 |
| mgv1 | frogfoo, ive installed gftp gui client | 23:20 |
| hey` | ok fccf I'm working on that | 23:20 |

| frogfoo | mgv1: doesnt' that work? | 23:21 |
| fccf | hey`: how are you going to learn anything if you don't break it once in a while? | 23:21 |
| mgv1 | frogfoo, ive just installed it - i will check it now | 23:21 |
| kebomix | sebsebseb : no on toshiba A300 laptop , anyway it's not number of partitions problem | 23:21 |
| hey` | fccf: yep you're right. | 23:22 |
| hey` | fccf: the package envyng is not found. | 23:22 |
| sebsebseb | kebomix: When doing the Ubuntu installer if you do manual install do partitions come up? | 23:22 |

| fccf | hey`: envyng-core and envyng-gtk | 23:23 |
| hey` | kk | 23:23 |
| StaRetji | anybody willing to advise me | 23:23 |
| sebsebseb | !ask | StaRetji | 23:23 |
| ubottu | StaRetji: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 23:23 |
| StaRetji | it about network interfaces | 23:23 |
| sebsebseb | !details | StaRetji | 23:23 |
| ubottu | StaRetji: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 23:23 |
| hey` | fccf: done, both installed. | 23:24 |
| hey` | should I run envyng? | 23:24 |
| fccf | hey`: yep ... and install the 180 or whatever drivers are available | 23:25 |
| StaRetji | OK, I installed ubuntu on usb stick and have set network interfaces in /etc/networking/interfaces. Now, when I plug stick to a different pc then the one I have installed on, my eth0 doesn't work. I have to add eth1. So, question is, where ubuntu stores information about eth0 so that I can erase it, clear it. Thx! | 23:25 |
| hey` | got it | 23:25 |
| sebsebseb | StaRetji: Which version of Ubuntu? | 23:25 |
| StaRetji | 9.04 | 23:26 |
| kebomix | sebsebseb: wait i will upload screenshot | 23:26 |
| sebsebseb | StaRetji: hmm | 23:26 |
| StaRetji | auto eth0 | 23:26 |
| sebsebseb | StaRetji: Maybe not so relivant, but 8.10 can run on this computer no problem, on the other one nope | 23:26 |
| StaRetji | iface eth0 inet dhcp | 23:26 |
| StaRetji | wont work if I plug stick inside another pc | 23:26 |
| sebsebseb | StaRetji: I meant the eterhent in 8.10 | 23:26 |
| sebsebseb | ethernet | 23:26 |
| StaRetji | yep, my eht0 works | 23:27 |
| fm | do the ubunut 8.10 & 9.04 installer cd's still have a "live-expert" mode ? | 23:27 |
| sebsebseb | fm: don't think so | 23:27 |
| StaRetji | but interfaces script fails if I change pc | 23:27 |
| sebsebseb | fm: ,but if they had it, well it's there still | 23:27 |
| StaRetji | I have to add eth1 and so on, as many as pc I change :( | 23:27 |
| StaRetji | I have stick that I carry with me | 23:28 |
| erUSUL | StaRetji: /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules | 23:28 |

| StaRetji | I'm on to it right now | 23:28 |
| StaRetji | thx | 23:28 |
| sebsebseb | erUSUL: You again :D I wasn't sure what to put | 23:28 |
| erUSUL | StaRetji: there the system makes a map MAC <--> iface | 23:28 |
| mneptok | StaRetji: the /dev assignment is done by udev. it's automagic. | 23:29 |
| StaRetji | understood, something like interfaces mac cache | 23:29 |
| erUSUL | sebsebseb: i sit here waiting for you to get out of ideas ;) | 23:29 |
| sebsebseb | erUSUL: heh | 23:29 |

| StaRetji | erUSUL mate | 23:30 |
| StaRetji | thx so much | 23:30 |
| erUSUL | StaRetji: no problem | 23:30 |
| StaRetji | now, I'll add script that will clear this file on boot ;) | 23:30 |
| mneptok | StaRetji: if you're using DHCP, why not just set the same configuration for eth0 and eth1 in /etc/network/interfaces? | 23:30 |
| erUSUL | sebsebseb: ;D | 23:30 |
| StaRetji | mneptok, not sure that I understand what ya mean | 23:30 |
| StaRetji | I have this inside | 23:31 |
| erUSUL | StaRetji: i would just clear the file on *shutdown* to avoid races on boot | 23:31 |
| mneptok | StaRetji: you're using DHCP. dynamic IP configuration. just tell /etc/network/interfaces to use it for both eth0 and eth1 | 23:31 |
| StaRetji | auto eth0 | 23:31 |
| StaRetji | iface eth0 inet dhcp | 23:31 |
| StaRetji | auto eth1 | 23:31 |
| StaRetji | iface eth1 inet dhcp | 23:31 |
| FloodBot1 | StaRetji: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 23:31 |
| StaRetji | auto eth2 | 23:31 |
| mneptok | exactly | 23:31 |
| StaRetji | iface eth2 inet dhcp | 23:31 |

| sebsebseb | Guest5811: also if gparted and manual install and so on, aren't showing your partitions, there is something wrong | 23:38 |

| MrElendig | mgv1: ~/Desktop or similar | 23:42 |

| chowder | MrElendig: thanks | 23:43 |
| subito | hi, is there something similar to the option DontZap for the tty consoles? (ctrl+alt+F1 etc.) | 23:43 |
| StaRetji | at erUSUL | 23:43 |
| MrElendig | subito: yes, man xorg.conf | 23:43 |
| kebomix1 | sebsebseb: yeah , i meant windows vista recovery :D | 23:43 |
| Morgansl | erUSUL: it says cp: cannot stat `Images.imgA': No such file or directory | 23:43 |
| puff | Are the repos being hammered or something? | 23:43 |
| mgv1 | MrElendig, Could not change local directory to /Desktop: No such file or directory | 23:43 |

| hey` | fccf I can't set up an aproppiate screen resolution yet. | 23:44 |
| MrElendig | mgv1: note the ~ infront | 23:44 |
| erUSUL | Morgansl: 1) linux is case sensitive 2) you have to be i the same folder as the image you want to copy | 23:44 |
| fccf | hey`: have you run gksudo nvidia-settings and detected your displays? | 23:44 |
| Morgansl | erUSUL: ok | 23:44 |
| subito | MrElendig: tty returns no result for the search | 23:44 |
| sebsebseb | kebomix1: Also I guess it will clear out all data and everything | 23:45 |
| hey` | ermm I run fccf: envying, and let this installed everything. | 23:45 |
| hey` | but not nvidia-settings again. | 23:45 |
| Morgansl | erUSUL: i should of thought of that | 23:45 |
| MrElendig | subito: read it, or learn to search. if you search for Ctrl-Alt you will find it | 23:45 |
| erUSUL | Morgansl: so for example if the image is in your Desktop first de « cd ~/Desktop » | 23:45 |
| sebsebseb | kebomix1: Maybe you got some werid hard disk and you need the alternate CD to partition | 23:45 |
| hey` | envying installed the drivers, then I just come from a restart. | 23:45 |
| MrElendig | Ctrl+Alt* | 23:45 |
| kebomix1 | sebsebseb: of course :D | 23:45 |
| MrElendig | it's called DontVTSwitch | 23:45 |

| IndyGunFreak | Scunizi: i think clonezilla | 23:56 |
| Merc | ubuntu! | 23:56 |
| durt | !gparted | 23:56 |
| ubottu | gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php | 23:56 |
| Scunizi | IndyGunFreak: that's it! Thanks :) | 23:56 |
| sebsebseb | Merc: Do you have a support question? | 23:56 |
| fccf | hey`: checks can be sent to my manager LOL | 23:56 |
| IndyGunFreak | hey`: whats your current resolution? | 23:57 |
| qe2eqe | StaRetji, it sure seems like you're having an issue with your i915 driver | 23:57 |
| StaRetji | yep, but i915 is not the driver | 23:57 |
| hey` | hehehe fccf, I'm about to kiss you. | 23:57 |
| qe2eqe | StaRetji, if you don't need drm (direct rendering management?) - wait wuh? | 23:58 |
| hey` | indygunfreak 640x400 | 23:58 |
| fccf | hey`: did it work? | 23:58 |
| StaRetji | I have intel 950gma and in xorg.conf is set to intel | 23:58 |
| n-iCe | hi | 23:58 |
| sebsebseb | n-iCe: hi | 23:58 |
| n-iCe | sebsebseb: :)) | 23:58 |
| hey` | I'm still looking | 23:58 |
| hey` | apparently there are variouls xorg.conf | 23:58 |
| StaRetji | if I put that section instead of "intel" to "i915" it wont bring up X | 23:59 |
| sebsebseb | StaRetji: 9.04 has Intel issues | 23:59 |
| Penta | it is posible somehow to install GnuWorld on Ubuntu 9.04 ? | 23:59 |
| erUSUL | Scunizi: clonezilla ? | 23:59 |
| sebsebseb | !intel | 23:59 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 9.04 has a known regression for some Intel graphics support. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/IntelPerformance and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582 for more information. | 23:59 |
| qe2eqe | StaRetji, well, you can probably safely comment out your xorg,conf stuff, ubuntu does it automagically. | 23:59 |
| Morgansl1 | erUSUL: how would i add a folder that has a space in the name? | 23:59 |
| sebsebseb | Penta: Not hard of that one, but there's Abiword | 23:59 |
| sebsebseb | heard above | 23:59 |
| IndyGunFreak | hey`: if you temporarily move your panels to the sides(one on each side).. .and open up nvidia settings, will that give you enough room? | 23:59 |
| fccf | hey`: find one from before your upgrade and rename it to xorg.conf and restart X | 23:59 |
