| dandaman | when i choose to boot the ubuntu hdd it writes grub and doesnt do anything | 01:29 |
| mgmuscari | is there a way to change where icons on the desktop are placed by default? | 01:29 |
| westsyde | Does anyone know if Ubuntu has a mySQL database sync package to manage database merging ?? | 01:29 |
| mgmuscari | for example automounted media pops up in the upper left corner... can i move it? | 01:29 |
| PovAddict | jrib: holy crap it worked | 01:29 |
| PovAddict | now that I purged flashplugin-nonfree, other users on my machine will have no Flash; can I install the new .so system-wide? | 01:30 |
| jrib | PovAddict: yeah, but I don't remember where exactly... | 01:30 |
| Etu | And I want a new version of fsarchiver too... | 01:30 |
| sintral | PovAddict /usr/bin/mozilla-firefox | 01:30 |
| jrib | sintral: isn't it in /usr/share/ somewhere? | 01:30 |
| fwaokda | how can i disable word wrap in terminal? | 01:31 |
| PovAddict | /usr/share has arch-indep files... | 01:31 |
| sintral | could be, trying to go from memory | 01:31 |
| Evelina | Well, There is a python software called Universal FeedParser. When I type python and press Enter in Terminal I got the python prompt and then I am allowed to run several python commands as I should. The problem is that when I create (and chmod) a file named feedparser.py and use #!/usr/bin/python and import feedparser, then the commands won't work in my script file. | 01:31 |
| jrib | PovAddict: easy way: reinstall the other flash and see where it went | 01:31 |
| sintral | Pov you on x64? | 01:31 |
| PovAddict | and /usr is supposed to be for apt to manage; isn't there a place to put it in /usr/local? | 01:31 |
| PovAddict | sintral: yes | 01:31 |
| kerin | My 9.04 install appears to be missing the Fuse module, despite having fuse-utils installed. Please advise. | 01:31 |

| sintral | dandaman, are you using software raid? | 01:32 |
| dandaman | no | 01:32 |
| Evelina | The commands won't work in my python file as they do running them from python prompt. I have #!usr/bin/python and import feedparser at the beginning of my feedparser.py file, but the commands later in my file won't work as they do runnning them from python prompt. Why? | 01:32 |

| Evelina | jrib: ok | 01:34 |
| jrib | PovAddict: if you want to do it the nice way, install the .so somewhere (/opt or /usr/local/ or whatever you wish) and use the alternatives system to add an alternative for flash (I forget the exact name, but there shouldn't be too many that say "flash") | 01:34 |
| Evelina | jrib: It says this: #!/usr/bin/python | 01:34 |
| sintral | alod: did you run sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg? | 01:34 |

| Evelina | jrib: I'm supposed to get the third link from feed. | 01:38 |
| alod | sintral just did, don't see what its doing other then backing up the current xorg.conf | 01:38 |
| jrib | Evelina: mapbe you want to insert a "print " at the beggining of the final line? | 01:38 |
| Evelina | jrib: Using Terminal will give the third link as output in Terminal, but not using the script. | 01:38 |
| Evelina | jrib: I don't know, I'm not used to python scripts. | 01:38 |
| jrib | Evelina: yes, you want to do that... | 01:39 |
| sintral | alod: should get a blue screen that lets you reconfigure | 01:39 |

| Evelina | jrib: I got the same error using your code. | 01:44 |
| dandaman | but hda7 is the dapper ext3 install | 01:44 |

| dirka | hi there | 01:45 |
| centrinia | Is it just me or does the latest beta of karmic koala have gnome list every file as text/plain? | 01:45 |
| jerknextdoor | dandaman: what exactly are you trying to do? | 01:45 |
| Evelina | Maybe something is wrong calling the import feedparser or something. | 01:45 |
| jrib | centrinia: #ubuntu+1 | 01:45 |
| centrinia | Okay. | 01:45 |
| dandaman | jerknextdoor: i have ubuntu installed on another hdd, windows 7 is on another | 01:46 |
| jrib | Evelina: what did you name your file? | 01:46 |
| dandaman | jerknextdoor: when i load up the ubuntu hdd it prints out grub and just sits there | 01:46 |
| Evelina | jrib: I called the script using ./scriptname.py in Terminal and I wrote print 'Hello' as the only line after the shebang. | 01:46 |
| dandaman | doesnt load up anything | 01:46 |
| jrib | Evelina: what's the actual scriptname? | 01:46 |
| jrib | Evelina: with your feedparser example | 01:46 |
| Evelina | jrib: My script's name is feedparser.py | 01:46 |
| jrib | Evelina: change it. Python is importing that file instead of the feedparser module | 01:47 |
| Evelina | jrib: Oh, I'll try that. | 01:47 |
| ynk | hey guys. how's it going? i just finally figured out how to install my silly ati graphics card driver (woot!). now i'm trying to install compiz fusion... and there is no "compizconfig-settings-manager" in synaptic... what do i do? | 01:47 |
| dirka | does jaunty have any ati driver issues. going to be building a htpc and heard that nvidia cards have much better support | 01:47 |
| jerknextdoor | dandaman: i just saw you said it's dapper so i'm not gonna be much help. | 01:47 |
| dandaman | i dont even know what it is jerknextdoor | 01:48 |
| lostson | dirka: i would go with nvidia it will work out better | 01:48 |
| dandaman | im just copying what the person wrote in their post | 01:48 |
| dandaman | jerknextdoor: i am completely clueless and have no idea how to fix this | 01:48 |
| jerknextdoor | dandaman: then why not just reinstall the whole ubuntu system if you dont know what it is. | 01:48 |
| Evelina | jrib: I got the same error. | 01:48 |
| dandaman | jerknextdoor: if you have any advice i would really appreciate it | 01:48 |
| dandaman | jerknextdoor: i have done that | 01:48 |
| jrib | Evelina: then you still have some feeparser.py file. | 01:48 |
| dandaman | i get the same problem | 01:48 |
| jrib | Evelina: then you still have some feedparser.py file. | 01:48 |
| Evelina | jrib: Maybe I can't just call feedparser using import feedparser? | 01:49 |
| jrib | Evelina: of course you can... how else would you? | 01:49 |
| Evelina | jrib: I removed the feedparser.py file. | 01:49 |
| dirka | well that sucks. I just upgraded my pc from a 4670 to a 4870, was hoping to use the existing card to save a bit of cash | 01:49 |
| jrib | Evelina: then it's impossible that your error is the same. | 01:49 |
| jerknextdoor | dandaman: well, what did you install when you did it? dapper? gutsy? intrepid? | 01:49 |
| Evelina | jrib: Well, I don't know, maybe I had to write som other path than just import feedparser | 01:49 |
| dandaman | jerknextdoor: jaunty i think | 01:49 |
| jrib | Evelina: can you paste the error? | 01:49 |
| dandaman | jerknextdoor: i just went on the ubuntu site, downloaded the iso | 01:49 |
| Evelina | jrib: yes, wait. | 01:50 |
| dandaman | and installed... | 01:50 |

| PCTeacher012 | PovAddict: The closest thing to flash on linux is synfig studio | 02:08 |
| PovAddict | [21:34] <jrib> PovAddict: if you want to do it the nice way, install the .so somewhere (/opt or /usr/local/ or whatever you wish) and use the alternatives system to add an alternative for flash (I forget the exact name, but there shouldn't be too many that say "flash") | 02:08 |
| jrib | PovAddict: pastebin: ls -l /etc/alternatives | 02:08 |

| Whiper | asonge_: hey i wanted to install that files | 02:08 |
| jrib | Casper1: seems like everything is right then. Your file is empty. | 02:08 |
| Casper1 | jrib: would that have to do with using an alternate install cd? | 02:09 |
| PCTeacher012 | The one i know is Synfig Studio. There is also one called Flash4Linux or F4L if i remember right | 02:09 |
| mac9416 | Hello, if the same package is available from multiple sources, how does APT decide which source to install it from? | 02:09 |
| PovAddict | jrib: http://paste.ubuntu.com/287458/ | 02:09 |
| jrib | Casper1: well you don't need an xorg.conf at all. I doubt it has anything to do with the use of the alternate cd | 02:09 |
| PCTeacher012 | mac9416: The one that has the fullest package | 02:09 |
| PCTeacher012 | The most amount of referrals to it | 02:10 |
| mac9416 | PCTeacher012, fullest? | 02:10 |
| Casper1 | jrib: how would i go about changing the resolution then? | 02:10 |
| jrib | !fixres > Casper1 | 02:10 |
| ubottu | Casper1, please see my private message | 02:10 |
| mac9416 | PCTeacher012, ah OK. What kind of referrals? | 02:10 |
| PovAddict | !version | 02:10 |
| ubottu | To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy <package> » | 02:10 |
| jrib | PovAddict: waht ubuntu version? | 02:10 |
| PovAddict | I'm on hardy | 02:10 |
| Balsaq | can the installation of a correct video card with its own dedicated memory, make my youtube video run at the correct speed (they are too slow now) | 02:11 |
| PCTeacher012 | mac9416: There are multiple dependencies. So it chooses one that has installations to the dependencies. Normally, it will not be in multiple respitories though. | 02:11 |
| jrib | PovAddict: that's why. Either create your own alternative if you care or just drop the file in there, doesn't really matter | 02:11 |
| mac9416 | PCTeacher012, thanks much. | 02:11 |
| Whiper | hello can any body help me install wifi patch | 02:11 |
| PCTeacher012 | Balsaq: Did you install Flash Player from Adobe as the plugin, and not Gnash? | 02:11 |
| PCTeacher012 | mac9416: No problem | 02:11 |
| asonge_ | Balsaq: some drivers are more choppy than others for flash video on linux | 02:11 |
| jrib | Whiper: did you read the wifi documentation ubottu sent you? | 02:11 |
| Balsaq | PCTeacher012:yes took the flash | 02:12 |
| PCTeacher012 | Balsaq: Okay, just making sure. What browser do you currently use? | 02:12 |
| Balsaq | ubuntu904 | 02:12 |
| Balsaq | and took all the kazillion updates | 02:12 |
| Whiper | its fine i just want to install this file | 02:13 |
| Balsaq | firefox | 02:13 |
| jrib | Whiper: read the wifi documentation | 02:13 |
| Balsaq | PCTeacher:firefix with ubuntu904 and flash | 02:13 |
| Whiper | jrib | 02:13 |
| shaullx | how do i give folder permissions? | 02:14 |
| Whiper | jrib: hey can u teach me to install | 02:14 |
| PCTeacher012 | Balsaq: Firefox YT was slow on my computer too. I installed Google Chrome. Pages loaded much faster and YT videos played correctly. Install from:http://gtk-apps.org/content/show.php/Google+chrome?content=112341 | 02:14 |
| shaullx | i need to make an archive from a folder and it says i dont have permissions | 02:14 |
| jrib | Whiper: no, I can only give you the wifi documentation so you get your wifi working without breaking your install | 02:14 |
| jrib | shaullx: what are you doing exactly? | 02:14 |
| PCTeacher012 | The debian packages will work for ubuntu, just choose your version (32 bit or 64 bit) | 02:14 |
| shaullx | jrib i just told you trying to make an archive | 02:14 |
| asonge_ | PCTeacher012: there's a managed ppa for chromium on linux | 02:14 |
| Axess_Denied | psubuntu | 02:15 |
| asonge_ | PCTeacher012: so you can just apt-get it and get updates | 02:15 |
| jrib | shaullx: "exactly"? i.e. where? | 02:15 |
| PovAddict | Google also has an apt repo | 02:15 |
| PovAddict | with chrome, picasa, and other proprietary software | 02:15 |
| PCTeacher012 | asonge_: This is not chomium. This is the browser from Windows. V 4 | 02:15 |
| PCTeacher012 | of Google Chome. Not Chomium | 02:15 |
| shaullx | jrib what do u mean where? desktop | 02:15 |
| PCTeacher012 | Chromium* | 02:15 |
| Balsaq | PCTeacher: the vids play but slow, i think it because old ATI vid cards do not have drivers connected to ubuntu? found out geforce fx 5200 ago card fits my 200watt PS and HAS drivers for ubuntu? any chance that is a fix- i am a non tech could be WAY off with my idea | 02:15 |
| jrib | shaullx: you're trying to create an archive on your desktop and you do not have permissions? Is this correct? | 02:15 |
| asonge_ | PCTeacher012: the one from apt seems like it'd be faster (new updates, etc) | 02:16 |
| shaullx | jrib yes the folder is copied from my hdd im on live usb | 02:16 |
| PCTeacher012 | Balsaq: Have you tried installing its propritory drivers? | 02:16 |
| PCTeacher012 | asonge_: Maybe, what is the command? sudo apt-get install chromium? Ill check if it is faster | 02:16 |
| asonge_ | chromium-browser | 02:16 |
| jrib | shaullx: in that case, just use gksudo nautilus | 02:16 |
| PCTeacher012 | aaah. Okay, thanks asonge_ Ill check it out | 02:16 |
| asonge_ | PCTeacher012: sources are here: https://launchpad.net/~chromium-daily/+archive/ppa | 02:16 |
| Axess_Denied | balsaq: still having issues with the flash videos? | 02:16 |
| Balsaq | PCTeacher: someone had me look in the ubuntu propietary driver file and none were in ther...heard there are none for old ATI Xpert cards? | 02:17 |
| PCTeacher012 | Hmm. I dont know, mine is ubuntus driver (I have nVidia RIVA TNT2 Pro Model 64 :P) | 02:17 |
| Balsaq | Axess_Denied:yes but may have a way to fix it cross referencing my idea now | 02:17 |
| === sheep is now known as lstarnes | ||
| PCTeacher012 | asonge_: No package for chromium-browser | 02:17 |
| asonge_ | PCTeacher012: you didn't add the source. | 02:17 |
| Axess_Denied | Balsaq: you should also try looking at ATI's site for drivers | 02:17 |
| smokie | hey guys, whats an old version that works with older hardware and still has its repos up? | 02:17 |
| smokie | 7.10 dont have repos anymore | 02:18 |
| asonge_ | PCTeacher012: https://launchpad.net/~chromium-daily/+archive/ppa | 02:18 |
| Balsaq | PCTeacher: heard ubuntu luvs nvidia...ATI bad for nvidia | 02:18 |
| smokie | have to b manually updated | 02:18 |
| PCTeacher012 | asonge_: fORGOT TO HAHA | 02:18 |
| smokie | which is complicated for me | 02:18 |
| PovAddict | smokie: old versions have security vulnerabilities, not speed | 02:18 |
| PovAddict | use a new version of fast software | 02:18 |
| Axess_Denied | balsaq: Try this site for reference : http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx | 02:18 |
| PovAddict | eg. don't use a modern KDE, use something like XFCE instead | 02:18 |
| smokie | PovAddict, its a p3 machine with 64mb of ram | 02:18 |
| Balsaq | Axess_Denied: heard there is an issue with old ATI cards...they have some stuff for radeon mine is Xpert though | 02:18 |
| PCTeacher012 | Balsaq: Possible. I dont know, i have no computer with ATI that i know of. I have 2 old computers. Both nVidia from my understanding. | 02:19 |
| asonge_ | smokie: go for xubuntu on that, that might be runnable | 02:19 |
| smokie | PovAddict, i was reading the ubuntu docs and it was recommended to use 7.10 or 6.06 ofr older hardware | 02:19 |
| asonge_ | ATI has relatively recently released good 3rd party drivers. | 02:19 |
| canthus13 | smokie: Exen xubuntu is gonna need more memory. | 02:19 |
| PCTeacher012 | asonge_: Is there any key i need? | 02:19 |
| canthus13 | s/exen/even/ | 02:19 |
| asonge_ | PCTeacher012: that page wasn't the source, it was the instructions with the gpg key l ink | 02:19 |
| smokie | is there a place to read on what versions have repos still live? | 02:19 |
| canthus13 | smokie: You're going to need something really lightweight... Or you're going to need to add memory. | 02:20 |
| spiderbatdad | smokie, try puppy or knoppix | 02:20 |
| canthus13 | smokie: 128 mb is absolutely the minimum. | 02:20 |
| Balsaq | PCTeacher:nvidia openly accepts and gives their proprietary info to ubuntu andlinux, was told ATI did not or at least was not helping get them all set up and seems too have left a lot of older stuff out | 02:20 |
| canthus13 | smokie: Puppy or DSL, maybe. | 02:20 |
| PovAddict | smokie: Ubuntu documentation wouldn't *recommend* an unsupported version | 02:20 |
| PCTeacher012 | asonge_: Aaah, i found that out right before haha | 02:20 |
| Balsaq | PCTeacher: someone, whether it is ubuntu or ATI has not made sure all the drivers are there for thr OS to make the vid card run coreectly. | 02:21 |
| smokie | PovAddict, it does actually.. atleast thats what i understood from the doc.. let me read it again | 02:21 |
| smokie | canthus13, hmm thought it would run on 64mb | 02:21 |
| PovAddict | unless 6.06 is still in LTS support | 02:21 |
| canthus13 | smokie: Nope. Not much will run on 64mb. | 02:21 |
| asonge_ | smokie: DSL or a heavily hacked linux might still make it on 64MB | 02:21 |
| canthus13 | PovAddict: 6.06 server is. | 02:22 |
| iamelite | Does anyone know how i can format and parition a small HARDDRIVE to act in stead of a CD ROM for purpose of BOOTING as such? | 02:22 |
| smokie | PovAddict, "If your specifications are lower than the minimum requirements but you still want to install Xubuntu in your machine, please consider using pre-8.04 releases (preferably try 7.10 first and go to 6.06 (LTS) if you can't get it working). | 02:22 |
| smokie | " | 02:22 |
| Axess_Denied | balsaq: the Xpert series card sall had the Rage 128 processor. Here is the linux driver you need to try | 02:22 |
| smokie | but thats for xubuntu though | 02:22 |
| Axess_Denied | balsaq: http://linux.die.net/man/4/r128 | 02:22 |
| canthus13 | iamelite: Isn't that what a hard drive normally does? | 02:22 |
| smokie | asonge_, hmm i never heard of DSL.. its a linux distro? | 02:22 |
| Balsaq | PCTeacher: i hate window so much i am willing to buy a vid card that has driver support for ubuntu, but being a certified non-tech i wonder if i have a clue | 02:22 |
| canthus13 | smokie: Damn Small Linux. It'll run on pretty much anything. | 02:23 |
| asonge_ | smokie: damn small linux...it may be abandoned, but i used it 5 years ago | 02:23 |
| PovAddict | smokie: that page was written when 8.04 was current | 02:23 |
| Balsaq | Acess_Denied: really, you think there is driver support for me? | 02:23 |
| canthus13 | smokie: It's still active, actually. | 02:23 |
| PovAddict | smokie: please post a link so someone can fix it ;) | 02:23 |
| canthus13 | smokie: It uses the 2.4 kernel, tho, so don't expect much in the way of modern hardware support. | 02:23 |
| canthus13 | smokie: It runs well,t hough. | 02:23 |
| iamelite | canthus13, I mean to say, as to boot up a setup disk from a small harddrive, IE: A windows install disk, Linux iso, etc... | 02:23 |

| ramseize | is awn the best dock for xubuntu? | 02:27 |

| Jake | I'm currently running Windows 7 and I love it but I'm still considering dual booting Ubuntu. What do you think? | 02:28 |
| dirka | is there a way to directly control a linux box aside from going through ssh? i do not have a working keyboard on the box itself but need to use the display its connect to | 02:28 |
| canthus13 | smokie: for desktop, anyway. | 02:28 |
| canthus13 | Jake: Go for it. | 02:28 |
| canthus13 | dirka: On screen keyboard. | 02:29 |
| canthus13 | dirka: Or VNC | 02:29 |
| Jake | canthus13: I'm just not quite sure when I would use Ubuntu rather than Windows 7 | 02:29 |
| maelstrom | thanks canthus13 | 02:29 |
| canthus13 | Jake: For anything other than gaming. | 02:29 |
| canthus13 | maelstrom: No problem. | 02:29 |
| smokie | canthus13, i see.. any reason why Gutsy version is not listed there? | 02:29 |
| dirka | but will vnc work on console level? xterm isnt working due to ati driver issues | 02:29 |
| maelstrom | Any obvious reason why my laptop would not be able to detect a wireless network with a hidden broadcast when I've entered all the info correctly? | 02:29 |
| canthus13 | smokie: Gutsy is no longer supported as of april of this year. | 02:29 |
| asonge_ | dirka: you can start a screen session on the display | 02:30 |
| canthus13 | smokie: 18 month support cycles and all. | 02:30 |
| maelstrom | My roommate bought a new router and kept all the settings the same, but now my laptop doesn't pick it up. My phone still sees it though and wifi works on it (since the settings are all the same) | 02:30 |
| asonge_ | dirka: screen is like a multi-workspace cli...you get normal cli and ctrl+a to start a new term... man screen for more | 02:30 |
| canthus13 | maelstrom: Will your laptop pick up anything else? | 02:30 |
| maelstrom | canthus13, yes it sees all my neighbors' (password protected *grumble*) networks | 02:31 |
| smokie | canthus13, ah i didnt know that.. is it difficult to upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04? | 02:31 |

| canthus13 | maelstrom: Heh. Some wireless cards do no like some routers. It's annoying. | 02:31 |
| canthus13 | smokie: Nope. click a button and you're off. | 02:31 |
| asonge_ | PCTeacher012: i have it in a lot less time than that... | 02:31 |
| Jake | canthus13: If I install via the liveCD could I delete the partition using window's partition manager if I wanted to? | 02:31 |
| canthus13 | Jake: Yep. | 02:32 |
| smokie | cool.. i should give that a try | 02:32 |
| smokie | thanks for the help | 02:32 |
| asonge_ | PCTeacher012: you want to try again, or clear your cache? those stats sound like the difference between caching | 02:32 |
| n0ah | yea guys it was the display driver | 02:32 |
| canthus13 | smokie: If you go to the update manager, it should give you the option to upgrade to Hardy. | 02:32 |
| PCTeacher012 | asonge_: Really? I'll do that. One more seconds | 02:32 |
| smokie | canthus13, i dont have that one connected to the internet so i never checked or noticed, but i will | 02:33 |
| canthus13 | smokie: It should come up automatically after it checks for updates. | 02:34 |
| dirka | heres my issue: i need to troubleshoot my ati video drivers (grrr). i am currently on my laptop, and i dont believe i can view xterm through ssh. so i need a way to have my input on my laptop affect the default display. | 02:34 |

| lstarnes | PCTeacher012: technically, free gave you the correct answer, but in KB instead of MB | 02:42 |

| PCTeacher012 | lstarnes: oooh okay haha. I am much more used to MiB not KiB :P | 02:43 |

| revf | oh ok | 02:43 |
| revf | anyway | 02:43 |
| revf | for some reason when it runs e2fsck | 02:44 |
| PCTeacher012 | revf: What exactly are you trying to do with gparted? | 02:44 |
| revf | well, my overall goal is to move one partition over to the right and shrink it, then expand the one to the left to fill the remaining space | 02:45 |
| revf | but the log at http://paste.ubuntu.com/287470/ is for just the first part | 02:45 |

| asonge_ | (hopefully, or else there'd never be a reason to upgrade :) ) | 02:47 |
| revf | I don't think it's even installed on the ubuntu partition | 02:47 |
| PCTeacher012 | asonge_: Yea, haha. If they truly can not make it better than 9.4. We are screwed haha | 02:47 |
| revf | you can't actually partition a drive while you're on it can you? | 02:47 |
| PCTeacher012 | revf: It isnt by default, but you can install | 02:47 |
| revf | and I don't have a cd | 02:47 |
| revf | this computer doesn't even have a cd drive | 02:47 |
| PCTeacher012 | revf: Well, i it accesses all 3 at the same time. No | 02:47 |
| PCTeacher012 | But if one can be unmounted, yes | 02:47 |
| revf | maybe I should try updating gparted with apt-get? | 02:48 |
| revf | on the stick? | 02:48 |
| PCTeacher012 | revf: You could try | 02:48 |
| PCTeacher012 | revf: Worth a shot ;) | 02:48 |
| revf | it really seems like this is resize2fs's fault though | 02:48 |
| Mach | too many users | 02:48 |
| revf | it says "please run e2fsck first" right after gparted already ran e2fsck | 02:49 |
| PCTeacher012 | revf: LOL, it might be but idk, im not expert on GParted, | 02:49 |
| revf | this is especially weird because I've done basically the same thing off this same stick before with no problem | 02:49 |
| PCTeacher012 | revf: That is really weird... done anything on the stick since then? | 02:49 |
| revf | not really | 02:50 |
| revf | I do use it for file storage too but I haven't booted it or touched the ubuntu part | 02:50 |
| PCTeacher012 | revf: Hmm.. You could also try making a bootable version of GParted. | 02:50 |
| PCTeacher012 | revf: Download from their site and it has a bootable version, nothing else will be mounted | 02:50 |

| b0xxy | ! | 02:52 |
| revf | OK, I guess i could try that. I'm pretty reluctant to get rid of the bootable ubuntu though, and I only have one stick | 02:52 |
| revf | I guess I'll try googling around first | 02:52 |
| PCTeacher012 | b0xxy: Windows sucks hahaha. | 02:52 |
| mgv1 | would i need to download the latest ubuntu or the update will do that? | 02:53 |
| PCTeacher012 | revf: Okay, and maybe you could temporarily cut the files from the stick into the computer | 02:53 |
| lstarnes | mgv1: you have to manually do it through the update manager | 02:53 |

| frogfoo | m0r0n: i think the windows installer will format whatever partition(s) it takes over itself. so you shouldn't worry about that | 03:42 |
| Keiya | Do I have to do that!? | 03:42 |
| Tehedra | oh i see it | 03:42 |
| gbear14275 | shaullx: I'd use vlc... no need for codecs | 03:42 |
| m0r0n | trakcyia: Its on a seperate hard drive, and I reformatted with the windows disk to re-install windows and then it said it doesn't meet the requirements or something | 03:42 |
| Keiya | Man, my Vista partition lasted longer than three days... | 03:42 |
| frogfoo | Tehedra: odd. maybe it's in the universe repos or something | 03:42 |
| shaullx | gbear14275, im not talking about codecs, i installed them to use movie player. the problem is my display driver something happened to it | 03:43 |
| the_beav | rigodenil: anything fullscreen, games, videos, flash...will screw up with effects on...in all of my ati experiences | 03:43 |

| trakcyia | m0r0n: you really ought to be in ##windows, but if you're not meeting requirements it may be disk size, if your computer really doesn't meet the requirements, you can alter the installing with a program called nlite | 03:43 |
| gbear14275 | shaullx: " i installed video codecs and changed the resolution for my external monitor and now videos won't play and desktop effects cant be enabled, its like my video driver got deleted or something..." sounds like a codec problem | 03:43 |

| Out_Cold | _dan, if you install grub where your windows is you don't actually format the windows partition, just your master boot record | 04:16 |
| frogfoo | substancev: the signal to noise ratio of the ubuntu forums is much higher than the rest of the web, so i usually include ubuntu in my searches | 04:16 |
| Out_Cold | _dan, i dunno bout windows 7 though | 04:16 |
| _dan | so i should tell it to install grub into my windows partition? | 04:16 |
| Out_Cold | if it asks you that, yes. it will allow you to boot both windows and ubuntu | 04:17 |
| _dan | well the default is (hd0) i think | 04:17 |

| Keiya | mgv1: So agreed, I can't get Ubuntu to run on me at all. Maybe I'm some knockoff russian human? | 04:24 |
| frogfoo | Trizicus: i don't understand. firefox speaks ftp (that is, the ftp protocol) and you seem to be saying that it can be accessed via ftp | 04:24 |
| torn | _dan, no need to do all this "prep work" before installing. The Ubuntu installer allows you to do a manual partition setup (with Gparted) and then you can create the partitions and install the OS in one go. | 04:24 |
| frogfoo | Trizicus: how can it be accessed, exactly? | 04:24 |
| _dan | yeah i made the new 2 partitions with gparted in the installer | 04:24 |
| Trizicus | i can access it anon through ftp command however cannot do so in a browser or filezilla for example | 04:25 |
| _dan | and then proceeded to install onto them | 04:25 |
| evon | frogfoo: question for you | 04:25 |
| _dan | except the installer failed at doing grub | 04:25 |
| abgalphabet | set the grub timeout to 0, but it still display "Welcome Grub" or "Loading Grub" sth...message on the screen. can i hide this message also? | 04:25 |
| frogfoo | evon: mm | 04:25 |
| shaullx | substancev http://pastebin.com/m6ae25d9e | 04:25 |
| torn | _dan, I recommend this setup: Partition 1 - Windows, Parition 2 - swap, Partition 3 - /boot, Partition 4 - /, Partition 5 - /home | 04:25 |
| mgv1 | just a silly thing to call ubuntu 'for humans' | 04:25 |

| Linuxteacher | torn: I am on the site | 04:40 |
| Out_Cold | StaRetji, look in synaptic package manager | 04:40 |
| Linuxteacher | I can NEVER burn an iso in ubuntu. | 04:40 |
| Bluey | linux - sure you cn | 04:41 |
| mgv1 | jjrev, but that can be said in similar way about people | 04:41 |
| StaRetji | look what dude? | 04:41 |
| jjrev | AutoMatriX: once you have your LAMP server up, you'll want to look in to web scripting languages and NaviCat | 04:41 |
| Bluey | even I can burn iso... | 04:41 |
| Out_Cold | Linuxteacher?? use k3b or gnomebaker or brasero | 04:41 |
| torn | Linuxteacher, you tried using Brasero? | 04:41 |
| AutoMatriX | jjrev, the lap-things alre already present, I am updating the software of my 3 laptops via a personal mirror | 04:41 |
| substancev | That shaullx issue... weird.. there is no ffdshow in linux thats for windows | 04:41 |
| fccf | StaRetji: you would be jumping alot of versions and would likely break other things, I think you best bet is to wait for !karmic | 04:41 |
| fccf | !karmic | 04:41 |
| ubottu | Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 29th, 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 | 04:41 |
| Linuxteacher | torn and Out_Cold: Yes, i tried all those programs. All failed | 04:41 |
| torn | Linuxteacher, on different .iso files? | 04:42 |
| jjrev | mgv1: i do concede that people can act like robots, but i don't understand how ubuntu is related (other than that the word ubuntu reminds you of robots) | 04:42 |
| Linuxteacher | torn: Yes. I tried GParted.iso a while back. And lately Fedora 11 iso. Both failed | 04:42 |
| Tehedra | whats the default port for mysql? | 04:42 |
| AutoMatriX | jjrev, so I guess I'm already on the good path ? | 04:42 |
| Tehedra | if i install it using aptitude on ubuntu jaunty? | 04:42 |
| bp0 | what is the difference between http://releases.ubuntu.com/karmic/ and http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/karmic/beta/ ? | 04:43 |
| Out_Cold | 0_o gparted iso? hmm.... i'd try another iso.. or a new cd driver | 04:43 |
| iznt | hello. i tried to create a new partition, and now my computer wont boot. i get "grub loading, please wait... error 22" | 04:43 |
| StaRetji | fccf: thx for answer, you're probably right, but I have to try. I have working system, and backups of that system. Building new system would be a big pain in the ss for me. Can you give me some tips on how to upgrade the system? | 04:43 |
| lstarnes | Tehedra: 3306 | 04:43 |
| iznt | i tried putting in a live cd and that did not work. | 04:43 |
| jjrev | AutoMatriX: yes, assuming you have all the proper firewalls and everything set up, domain names, and all that good stuff, you should be on your way to implementing a MySQL database and interfacing with it via a website of your design | 04:43 |
| Linuxteacher | Out_Cold: Just because a while back i was not able to do anything with ubuntu. I dont remember everything, but GParted was going to go on a CD, it failed. Fedora failed too. | 04:43 |
| Linuxteacher | By 3 diff programs | 04:43 |
| substancev | shaullx: FYI there is no ffdshow in linux.... however... you might want to open up the package manager and search codec... sort but the first column and see which ones are installed on your system | 04:44 |
| substancev | shaullx: ..but = by | 04:44 |
| dorkface | Hi all. Is anyone here familiar with rdesktop? I have an issue with it where it works fine on some machines, but not on others for some reason. The problem is, is that I have not found a way to figure out what the heck rdesktop's issue is. I've tried to look for a verbose switch or debug switch, but came up with nothing. I even went through the whole /var/log dir and didn't find anything. | 04:44 |
| dorkface | Anybody know if rdekstop has a means of debugging? | 04:44 |
| AutoMatriX | jjrev, that last phrase was an overflow of information, thanks, At leat I know WHAT I'm looking for, from now on | 04:44 |
| torn | Linuxteacher, what error do you get when it fails? | 04:44 |
| Linuxteacher | Yay :D I found Mozilla's PPA :D:D:D | 04:44 |
| iznt | any help is appreciated. not that i'm begging. but i sort of am :\ | 04:44 |
| Out_Cold | Linuxteacher, if it was me, i'd try something else... i burn tons of dvds and cds with no issue on several linux distros | 04:44 |
| Linuxteacher | torn: I get the following Error: "Can not burn with current set of plugins. Please insert a supported CD." | 04:45 |
| fccf | StaRetji: suggest you go look in https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas for the kernel ppa < you might like this ppa as well HUGE | 04:45 |
| Tehedra | lstarnes, for some reason when I try to connect to it using mysql administrator its giving me a network error yet i can ping the server... | 04:45 |
| shaullx | substancev then its probably gstreamer | 04:45 |
| Tehedra | is there a way i can figure out if i somehow changed it? | 04:45 |
| shaullx | i got confused | 04:45 |
| torn | Linuxteacher, this is with Brasero? | 04:45 |
| substancev | dorkface: run it from command line? | 04:45 |
| jjrev | AutoMatriX: understood. always remember, Google is your friend ;) | 04:45 |
| shaullx | should i uninstall it? | 04:45 |
| mgv1 | why does this happens http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/2552/69637564.png? | 04:45 |
| fccf | Linuxteacher: see https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas | 04:45 |
| Linuxteacher | torn: Yes. Gnomebaker gives me no error, just said "Failed" | 04:45 |
| Linuxteacher | fccf: I already got it | 04:45 |
| Ozzah | Hi, does anybody know any software that will run under Ubuntu to enlarge images using awesome algorithms, like that fractal enlarger, or Alien Skin? | 04:45 |
| substancev | shaullx: if it is installed yes... | 04:46 |
| StaRetji | fccf: thx a lot dude | 04:46 |
| torn | Linuxteacher, and using this same CD/DVD drive, and the same .iso files, with the same brand discs, it works under Windows when you burn them? | 04:46 |
| AutoMatriX | jjrev, a human is always more capable to understand human problem, you've just proven it ... thanks again | 04:46 |
| Linuxteacher | torn: Yep. | 04:46 |
| jjrev | Ozzah: if you have the algorithms, you could write one yourself ;) | 04:46 |
| AutoMatriX | jjrev, next will be 'ar tee ef em' but now I know which ones to look up | 04:47 |
| Ozzah | jjrev: I don't :) | 04:47 |
| substancev | shaullx: let me know if that helped... | 04:47 |
| Out_Cold | is there a cd burner plugin? i know there is a dvd plugin | 04:47 |
| shaullx | substancev removed but still not luck | 04:47 |
| fccf | !burn | 04:47 |
| ubottu | CD/DVD Burning software: K3b (KDE), gnomebaker, brasero, serpentine, graveman, Nautilus-CD-Burner, GToaster, xcdroast (GNOME), wodim (terminal-based). Burning .iso files: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto | 04:47 |
| mgv1 | jjrev, this is probably important enoght | 04:47 |
| torn | Linuxteacher, that is really bizzare. | 04:48 |
| jjrev | AutoMatriX: lol, yes yes... your endeavor is a large one, good luck to you | 04:48 |
| Linuxteacher | torn: I know right? haha. It is verrrry. But ah well. Firefox 3.7 is compiled by mozilla through their PPA: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-daily/+archive/ppa | 04:48 |
| jjrev | Ozzah: can't say i'm familiar with those algorithms, so i can't say whether any image processes software uses them | 04:49 |
| mgv1 | how can i get important news to the desktop? what source can be good for it? | 04:49 |
| Out_Cold | Linuxteacher, let me know if you crash and burn :p | 04:49 |
| substancev | shaullx: try running jockey-gtk | 04:49 |
| shaullx | substancev i removed all video codecs that were installed and same problem | 04:49 |
| Linuxteacher | Out_Cold: I will hahahahaha | 04:49 |
| substancev | shaullx: this will bring up yoru drivers. | 04:49 |
| jjrev | mgv1: look into conky and rss feeds | 04:50 |
| torn | Linuxteacher, have fun crashing your system with 3.7! Hehe. | 04:50 |
| shaullx | substancev that bring "hardware drivers" witch i already told u i checked | 04:50 |
| Linuxteacher | torn: :P We will find out. Launching now | 04:51 |
| mezquitale | anybody experience slowness with bittorrent clients? It takes forever to download an iso, it used to work really fast before | 04:51 |
| shaullx | its empty | 04:51 |
| jjrev | Linuxteacher: unless you are comfortable with linux software debugging, its recommended to stick to 'stable' builds | 04:51 |
| torn | mezquitale, did you forward ports properly? | 04:51 |
| substancev | shaullx: well... i had to go through a shutdown.. if repetition bothers you.... just goto launchpad and you will see your issue there pending. | 04:51 |
| substancev | shaullx: do a fresh install | 04:51 |
| Linuxteacher | jjrev: haha. Probably. but oh well | 04:51 |
| bp0 | anyone have AMD Phenom II processor? | 04:51 |
| substancev | shaullx: so i lost what you once told me.. | 04:52 |
| Linuxteacher | Launched fine and im in and no crash :3 | 04:52 |
| substancev | frogfoo: thanks for the help with my vga issue in the CLI | 04:52 |
| mezquitale | torn, yes and I have tried different clients and different ports, i'm still seeing slowness with bit torrent clients, last time I tried limewire didnt even work, i coulndt connect | 04:52 |
| iznt | is there a way to skip grub when booting from a cd? | 04:52 |
| * substancev out | 04:52 | |
| === stealth-_ is now known as stealth- | ||
| jjrev | iznt: you would have to edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst file on the CD image, then burn another one | 04:52 |
| torn | mezquitale, how recent did this start happening? | 04:52 |
| Out_Cold | Linuxteacher, wait for it.. | 04:53 |
| vm123456 | esc | 04:53 |
| Linuxteacher | Out_Cold: Been running for just round 4 mins. No crash | 04:53 |
| torn | mezquitale, some routers' built-in firewalls don't play nice with bittorrent. | 04:53 |
| Out_Cold | if it crashed on start-up it would be a useless upgrade | 04:53 |
| Linuxteacher | Out_Cold: Haha, Yea :P | 04:53 |
| mezquitale | I noticed it a bit ago and I gave up using bit torrent clients, I thought it was the clients themselves that went belly up like napster but I hear other people saying their bit torrents work fine but I just configured the ports in my router and still no dice | 04:53 |
| iznt | jjrev: interesting.. i will google this. thank you. | 04:53 |

| webbb821 | it says i need libgnome menu but i already have it installed | 05:05 |
| Out_Cold | webbb821, you need to install the libgnome-menu-dev package | 05:06 |
| Out_Cold | you always need the dev packages and not the regular binaries to compile | 05:07 |
| Out_Cold | **always | 05:07 |
| mezquitale | danielillo, open up "system>preferences>sound" and make sure you configure whatever application you are trying to use to point to the correct device. I have everything pointing to alsa and it works just fine on the headphones in front of my desktop | 05:07 |
| Out_Cold | !compile > Out_Cold | 05:08 |
| ubottu | Out_Cold, please see my private message | 05:08 |
| mezquitale | danielillo, you can also click on "test" and see if you hear any sound | 05:08 |
| substancev | where do i change my runtime again... i want to boot to console. | 05:08 |
| danielillo | it don't sound | 05:08 |

| _dan | if it shows interfaces then your good | 05:12 |

| raudy | this is output | 05:13 |
| raudy | http://paste.ubuntu.com/287546/ | 05:13 |
| ZykoticK9 | substancev, perhaps if you simply remove GDM it will give you the desired effect "$ sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove" to add it back "$ sudo update-rc.d -f gdm defaults" -- i haven't tested this mind you... | 05:13 |
| _dan | prajjwal the problem with that is | 05:13 |

| _dan | oh | 05:14 |
| mezquitale | danielillo, what is the output of cat /proc/asound/cards | 05:14 |
| _dan | you probably dont have the driver loaded | 05:14 |
| _dan | do lspci | 05:14 |
| _dan | find your other card | 05:14 |
| mezquitale | raudy have you tried lspci? | 05:14 |

| _dan | which is the one that's not working raudy? | 05:16 |
| _dan | the 3com or the VIA one | 05:16 |
| raudy | i think via | 05:16 |
| raudy | when i try to connect to other PC , via can be pinged | 05:17 |
| mezquitale | raudy, the one that you bought must've been 3com, VIA ethernet cards are usually attached inside the desktop | 05:17 |
| Balsaq | can anyone help me finish mt ff upgrade? | 05:17 |
| mezquitale | raudy, but if you can ping the VIA nic then youre right LoL | 05:18 |
| _dan | well the module for that one should be via-rhine | 05:18 |
| prajjwal | _dan, did you try creating another Linux partition(very small) and seeing if GRUB works | 05:18 |

| arielCo | hello everyone: I'm trying to run apport from a LiveCD, with the original system chrooted. It complains about not finding /lib/modules/2.6.28-generic/modules.dep, because that's what the LIveCD runs and the mounted system has 2.6.3x >_> | 05:19 |

| YungRipp | Does anyone use kubuntu with a mac scheme? | 05:19 |
| _dan | but i can't exactly just move the windows partition down a bit and put the linux partition at the front of the drive | 05:19 |
| prajjwal | well i said small for the takes-up-less-mem-space .... my idea was, create a new Linux partition, get the GRUB from there, edit the menu.lst and use that until you find a better way .... | 05:20 |
| raudy | _dan and mezquitale , this other output when i type lsmod http://paste.ubuntu.com/287539/ | 05:20 |
| mezquitale | danielillo, try runing this and tell me what you hear: speaker-test -c2 -D default default -t wav | 05:20 |

| _dan | raudy: you have both the drivers loaded correctly then | 05:22 |
| mezquitale | danielillo, what is the first line, the one with a 0 of: cat /proc/asound/modules | 05:22 |
| _dan | raudy: paste the output of dmesg | 05:22 |
| nemesis1911 | yo guys I'm need help with setting up a msn email account in thunderbird | 05:22 |
| danielillo | 0 snd_hda_intel | 05:23 |
| danielillo | that appears mezquitale | 05:23 |
| mezquitale | _dan, it looks like he has to configure the nic manually in "/etc/network/interfaces", the hardware is seen by the os and it looks like drivers are loaded, he needs to configure the nic | 05:23 |
| _dan | shouldn't it still show up in ifconfig though | 05:24 |
| _dan | even if its not connected | 05:24 |
| raudy | _dan, wait a minute | 05:24 |
| raudy | i must change my OS first | 05:25 |
| raudy | _dan, any other ouput that u need? | 05:25 |

| raudy | yes i have, but error | 05:26 |
| CWinLx | can someone please let me know the difference between adding as primary vs 2ndary group? | 05:26 |
| Out_Cold | .... actually it still should have shown up in ifconfig | 05:26 |
| Out_Cold | CWinLx, in regards to what? | 05:26 |
| raudy | what i must do out_cold? | 05:26 |
| mezquitale | danielillo, it looks like the software is working fine, maybe it's a hardware error? can you try plugging in the speakers to the front of your desktop if you have the jack? | 05:26 |
| Out_Cold | raudy, sorry bud, i'm not that great with hard lines, i already told you that | 05:26 |
| Out_Cold | i think it's a driver issue as well | 05:27 |
| raudy | yes | 05:27 |
| CWinLx | Out_Cold, in regards to everything there is to know about this | 05:27 |
| Out_Cold | CWinLx, what is this? | 05:27 |
| CWinLx | when do I do a usermod -g VS, usermod -G | 05:27 |
| CWinLx | how should I know what is better? | 05:27 |
| CWinLx | is there any cons of just making everything primary group? | 05:27 |
| danielillo | i don't have a jack ... | 05:27 |
| raudy | out_cold, how to know our ethernet have been recognized or not? | 05:28 |
| mezquitale | _dan not necessarily, the same thing happened to me with my laptop and i couldnt see my nic and wireless nic, I had to manually add dthe entries in /etc/network/interfaces adn voila! everything started working | 05:28 |
| danielillo | tha rare thing is that in a virtual machine it worked fine | 05:28 |
| danielillo | but when i installed it doesn't worked good | 05:28 |
| biped | guys, I'm trying to back up my home folder to a flash drive, and after sudo -r source destination I still get permission denied errors. SHould I be using another command? | 05:28 |
| Deven1 | if its not in "ifconfig -a" then its not installed properly. | 05:28 |
| raudy | mezquitale, what i must do first ? | 05:28 |
| biped | that's sudo cp -r source destination | 05:29 |
| _dan | raudy | 05:29 |
| _dan | post the output of dmesg | 05:29 |
| raudy | yup dan | 05:29 |
| CWinLx | Out_Cold, any idae? | 05:29 |
| CWinLx | idea* | 05:29 |
| raudy | ok _dan, wait a minute | 05:29 |
| mezquitale | raudy, how you are using the 2nd nic? are you connecting it to another machine using static ip or getting an IP using dhcp? | 05:29 |
| Out_Cold | raudy, ifconfig is the first bet. and also lspci | 05:29 |
| === ashish is now known as nroot | ||
| Out_Cold | CWinLx, you are trying to add users to a group? | 05:30 |
| Flannel | CWinLx: you can only have one primary group. To add a user to a group, use `sudo adduser username group` | 05:31 |
| Out_Cold | i think defaults for ubuntu are that users have the same primary group as their name | 05:33 |
| mezquitale | danielillo, sounds like it could be related to the virtual machine, did it ever work at all? | 05:33 |
| Out_Cold | secondaries would be like alsa and admin | 05:33 |
| danielillo | mezquitale: on virtual machine it works all fine | 05:34 |
| danielillo | all dispositives | 05:34 |
| Out_Cold | well i'm gonna go play some doom classic.... you all have fun now | 05:34 |

| q0_0p | !adhoc | 05:36 |
| mezquitale | danielillo, did it ever used to work at all without the virtual machine? | 05:36 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about adhoc | 05:36 |
| q0_0p | !ad-hoc | 05:36 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ad-hoc | 05:36 |
| === stebalien is now known as steb | ||
| mezquitale | q0_0p, sure, do you have the router and wireless device in front of you? | 05:36 |
| === steb is now known as stebalien | ||
| danielillo | no mezquitale now it working in a real machine, but sound is the only problem | 05:37 |
| q0_0p | mezquitale, yes | 05:37 |
| mezquitale | q0_0p, I would do it this way, first configure the wireless connection without security, once I have it up and running configure it with security | 05:37 |
| q0_0p | mezquitale, i'm conntect to my router through ath0 and want to adhoc my other one wlan0 for other clients | 05:38 |
| q0_0p | mezquitale, i have no iptables rules set up yet | 05:38 |
| mezquitale | q0_0p, my mistake, I havent tried ad hoc yet, you should join the channel earlier when more experienced users are around | 05:39 |
| danielillo | mezquitale: wait i'll be back | 05:39 |
| mezquitale | danielillo, try going to #alsa and tell them you are having problems with sound using alsa | 05:40 |
| raudy | _dan, this is output of dmesg : http://paste.ubuntu.com/287567/ | 05:42 |
| qe2eqe | q0_0p, i believe a good keyword for you is bridging | 05:43 |
| mezquitale | q0_0p, it doesnt look complicated though, you have to configure it in /etc/network/interfaces file: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Adhoc | 05:43 |
| q0_0p | mezquitale, thx | 05:43 |
| q0_0p | qe2eqe, thx | 05:43 |
| mezquitale | raudy, can you see your nick with ifconfig -a? | 05:43 |

| Sledger | Does anyone know how to end an active windows | 06:18 |
| Sledger | window | 06:18 |
| mezquitale | raudy, turn off your machine and go into the BIOS, in the BIOS there should be an option for you to disable the installed ethernet card in your machine | 06:18 |
| Sledger | with a command line, such as a hotkey | 06:18 |
| biped | cd /media/3CAD-6EED/backup gets me right into the folder | 06:18 |
| Sledger | ctrl+alt+ | 06:18 |
| Sledger | fr | 06:18 |
| Sledger | f4 | 06:18 |
| Sledger | ? | 06:18 |
| ZykoticK9 | biped, "shows 0 total"??? I was wondering about the permission of that folder... | 06:18 |

| IndyGunFreak | exop: sort of, its ubuntu help, if you need help, state your question | 06:19 |
| exop | oke thx :) | 06:19 |

| nickrud | tambu, you'd make the change in /etc/sudoers, add the directive timestamp_timeout 0 . use visudo to edit the file, do not edit it directly. visudo will make sure you don't break it | 06:19 |
| Guest59841 | can you use monkey media on ubuntu? | 06:19 |
| ZykoticK9 | biped, "ls -l /media/3CAD-6EED/backup" | 06:19 |
| mezquitale | exop, this is ubuntu support channel, bear in mind everyone is a volunteer and we all learn the channel for help as well | 06:19 |
| exop | well my brother at home just installed ubuntu, but the synaptic packet manager is having problems | 06:20 |
| tambu | nickrud lol i'm trying to edit the sudoers file to test some commands and the timer thing prevents me from testing them. I will give that a shot. | 06:20 |
| biped | ZykoticK9, total 0 | 06:20 |
| nickrud | andrewfree, that's the issue; make sure the debian-sys-maint user exists, and the password is correct | 06:20 |
| exop | i'm trying to make him install openssh server | 06:20 |
| nickrud | tambu, never edit /etc/sudoers directly :) | 06:20 |
| exop | when he does sudo apt-get install openssh-server | 06:20 |
| andrewfree | nickrud: well you saw, I changed it to be correct | 06:20 |
| exop | it tells him that the packet doesn't exist | 06:20 |
| nickrud | andrewfree, based on past experience | 06:20 |
| tambu | nickrud no i was using visudo doesn't seem to accept that command hrm | 06:21 |
| exop | but when i do it on my laptop it works | 06:21 |
| ZykoticK9 | biped, are you using the "-l" ? | 06:21 |
| mezquitale | !ask| exop | 06:21 |
| ubottu | exop: 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. :-) | 06:21 |
| exop | sorry :( | 06:21 |
| biped | ZykoticK9, when I view the properties, owner is set to create and delete for folder access and file access is blank (---) | 06:21 |
| nickrud | andrewfree, no, I see that the first screen shows no rows changed. http://img.skitch.com/20091007-t1h4ppt5xtna765x76w7tndus9.jpg | 06:21 |
| biped | ZykoticK9, I'm copying and pasting your exact command | 06:21 |
| nickrud | tambu, might have a typo, man sudoers has the skinny | 06:21 |
| IndyGunFreak | exop: do you have all your repositories enabled? | 06:21 |
| Guest59841 | has anyone run monkey media on ubuntu??? | 06:22 |
| _dan | exop try apt-get install openssh-server | 06:22 |
| exop | my what? | 06:22 |
| _dan | from console | 06:22 |
| exop | i did do that | 06:22 |
| exop | doesn't work | 06:22 |
| nickrud | !repository | 06:22 |
| ubottu | The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories | 06:22 |
| ZykoticK9 | biped, can you drag/drop files in nautilus into that folder (drive really) | 06:22 |
| _dan | what does it tell you | 06:22 |
| _dan | specifically | 06:22 |
| nickrud | !hardysources | 06:22 |
| ubottu | In System->Admin->Software Sources, enable (main) (universe) (restricted) and (multiverse) and disable the Cdrom on the Ubuntu Software tab. On the Updates tab, enable (hardy-security) and (hardy-updates). | 06:22 |
| IndyGunFreak | exop: do you have a GUI, or are you using the server edition w/ no GUI? | 06:22 |
| nickrud | !jauntysources | 06:22 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about jauntysources | 06:22 |
| exop | it has a gui, but the gui only finds 2 packages when i search for ssh | 06:22 |
| exop | while my laptop gives me like 20 options | 06:23 |
| nickrud | exop, see the instructions above for hardy, they work for jaunty as well. | 06:23 |
| IndyGunFreak | exop: open up synaptic package manager.. system/admin/synaptic | 06:23 |
| tambu | nickrud, Defaults env_reset, timestamp_timeout=0 just FYI.. Thanks! | 06:23 |
| nickrud | tambu, yeah, typos. visudo rocks :) | 06:23 |
| exop | on that computer, using the synaptic manager doesn't work either | 06:24 |
| Fragsworth | Is it possible to get rid of window title bars? | 06:24 |
| exop | it doesn't give me the option openssh when i search for it | 06:24 |
| nickrud | exop sounds like a broken install if synaptic doesn't work | 06:24 |
| IndyGunFreak | nickrud: or his source list is jacked up. | 06:24 |
| exop | just freshly installed | 06:24 |
| biped | ZykoticK9, when attempting, I get: "There was an error copying the file into /media/3CAD-6EED/backup/home/biped/.pulse." "Error making symbolic link: Operation not permitted" | 06:24 |
| nickrud | IndyGunFreak, yep, but synaptic should at least run | 06:24 |
| IndyGunFreak | true... | 06:24 |
| exop | would be little bit weird if it doesn't work then | 06:25 |
| IndyGunFreak | exop: so you can't open system/admin/software sources? | 06:25 |
| ZykoticK9 | biped, ahhh what format is the USB? FAT? | 06:25 |
| nickrud | exop, tonight I installed karmic on this computer. But, since the disk I downloaded didn't work, I installed mythbuntu 8.10 and messed around to get to karmic. Trust me, if synaptic isn't running your install didn't work | 06:25 |
| helluvaCSmajor | my sound stopped working, can anyone help? | 06:26 |
| exop | gimme a second m8's :) | 06:26 |
| nickrud | !sound | 06:26 |
| ubottu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 06:26 |
| IndyGunFreak | nickrud: is he running karmic? | 06:26 |
| biped | ZykoticK9, I think so - it was reformatted into a livecd for karmic | 06:26 |
| wac_ | I have treied everything for my wireless and it still does not list netoworks | 06:27 |
| nickrud | IndyGunFreak, no, just preening a bit about my roundabout karmic install | 06:27 |
| biped | ZykoticK9, using the usb flash drive creator | 06:27 |
| tk` | exop maybe packages aint cached.. try apt-get update..u can also search wil apt-cache search openssh | 06:27 |
| IndyGunFreak | nickrud: i'vce messed w/ it on a live cd... seems fairly solid | 06:27 |
| prajjwal | how do i change the button configuration in my title bar ??? | 06:27 |
| IndyGunFreak | wac_: what exact broadcom chipset do you have? | 06:28 |
| IndyGunFreak | i believe theres 43, and 49 | 06:28 |
| nickrud | exop, first thing you need to do is make sure synapic is running. applications->accessories->terminal, and type there gksu synaptic . you'll need to enter your password. If synaptic fails, you should get an error message | 06:28 |
| wac_ | 43 | 06:29 |
| ZykoticK9 | biped, type "mount" in a terminal and look for the /media/3CAD-6EED drive -- what does it say after type? | 06:29 |
| biped | ZykoticK9, vfat | 06:29 |
| ZykoticK9 | biped, yup - vfat will NOT be able to copy linux's symbolic links -- it doesn't understand them. I'm researching, give me a moment. | 06:30 |

| Flannel | jbk_: It's looking for a UID, so a number | 06:32 |
| Flannel | jbk_: 1000 or 1001 or whatever | 06:32 |
| nickrud | jbk_, have you tried with a number? the name should work but... | 06:32 |
| Flannel | varmont: What version of Ubuntu are you on? | 06:32 |
| nickrud | hey Flannel | 06:32 |
| Flannel | Howdy nickrud | 06:32 |

| wac_ | its 43 | 06:34 |
| reeve | hi | 06:34 |
| nickrud | varmont, you shouldn't really expect it on 8.04, that's a very stable release that won't get much new software. You might want to upgrade to a later version | 06:34 |
| exop | anyhow, i've got some more info to work on it. thank you guys :) | 06:34 |
| varmont | sapa yg dari indonesia | 06:34 |
| exop | probably something silly that's wrong | 06:35 |
| jbk_ | Flannel, my dmesg says-> " EXT3-fs: Unrecognized mount option "uid=1002" or missing value" | 06:35 |
| nickrud | !hardysources > exop | 06:35 |
| ubottu | exop, please see my private message | 06:35 |
| varmont | ok thx for sugest | 06:35 |
| ZykoticK9 | biped, sorry man I can't find a quick solution. FYI "man cp" and or "cp --help" are two sources of info for ya. Sorry don't know how to copy links to vfat. Best of luck to ya. | 06:35 |
| jbk_ | ZykoticK9, vfat doesnt support ext2/3 symlinks | 06:35 |
| nickrud | exop, do that private message, but look for jaunty where it says hardy. That's why you don't see a lot of packages | 06:35 |
| kokozedman_ | hey guys, | 06:36 |

| jbk_ | nickrud, latest i386 | 06:36 |
| johnni | jbk_, any idea how to fix it? | 06:36 |
| ZykoticK9 | jbk_, biped I'm aware that vfat doesn't support symlinks (i actually pointed this out), but there should be a way to tell "cp" to copy the actual files instead of trying to copy the link??? | 06:36 |
| kokozedman_ | do i download it from the mozilla website, or is there a source that i need to add? | 06:36 |
| biped | ZykoticK9, right on. What should I reformat to? | 06:37 |
| jbk_ | johnni, i did this before.. i'll look into l8tr.. currently in a issue ;/.. | 06:37 |
| exop | oke thank you :) | 06:37 |
| jbk_ | ZykoticK9, yeah.. it's in there.. but perhaps look at the dereference option | 06:37 |

| elvis321 | Hi, I want to install a xen server. But the problem is the nic's on the server are attached to vlan tagged ports on a Juniper switch. I have had no success with CentOS 5.3.

| biped | ZykoticK9, jbk_ thx all | 06:39 |
| jbk_ | Flannel, so ya have a clue? i've done this before but long ago.. | 06:40 |

| andrewfree | nickrud: so what next? just try to start the server? | 07:04 |
| tanath | nickrud, i seem to recall setting it with some graphical tool a long time ago. what happened to it? | 07:05 |
| c_nick | Hi is there a general community where one can discuss new software and hardware and technological advances in the field | 07:05 |
| nickrud | tanath, don't know the tool; wouldn't be surprised if someone did a python-gtk interface | 07:05 |
| nickrud | andrewfree, no. I'm looking at a file but it's 5.1 specific, I'll need to see the one you use. put /var/lib/dpkg/info/mysql-server-5.0-postinst on the pastebin | 07:06 |

| neutrino | do i get sudo or root access form the live cd? | 07:12 |
| c_nick | a community on cloud computing | 07:13 |
| andrewfree | louis: it wont be simple if your going to create an OS | 07:13 |
| avishek | louis: www.osdev.org | 07:13 |
| louis | I was thinking of jumping ahead of my next semester seeing as thats gonna be my assignment | 07:13 |
| andrewfree | nickrud: actually /etc/mysql is empty | 07:13 |
| nickrud | andrewfree, then make sure the dir /etc/mysql/conf.d/ exists, then touch the file. We're trying to fool the install | 07:14 |
| Kevin1a_ | can anyone recommend a usb wifi card compatible with ubuntu that can be put into listening mode and supports packet injection? | 07:14 |

| _Techie_ | i need someone to help me create a modeline using information from my Xorg.failsafe.log | 07:14 |
| nickrud | SuspectZero, you mean run as a live cd? Because they made a live cd? Any distro could do it if they wished | 07:15 |
| avishek | firefly2442: it's a good place. I've just started out with it | 07:15 |

| nickrud | tanath, yw :) | 07:16 |
| louis | My friend who took her class said it could be DOS-like as long as it functioned and was original I wonder if that means I'd have to produce my own Kernel? ; / | 07:16 |
| nickrud | SuspectZero, not sure, I'm not a real grub guru in any sense | 07:16 |
| avishek | has anyone faced any problems running APTonCD on 9.04? | 07:16 |
| chai_ | nickrud: thanks! | 07:17 |
| nickrud | neutrino, you can do just about anything with the livecd, you just need to mount the disks | 07:17 |
| SuspectZero | nickrud, well the grub pros said it has something to do with lupin-casper and lupin-support but i cant find any good tutorials on how to ghet that up and running | 07:17 |
| neutrino | ok | 07:17 |
| === adante_ is now known as adante | ||

| nickrud | SuspectZero, this is the first night I've run linux since probably jan or feb, and things have just marched along. grub2 is totally unknown to me | 07:18 |
| avishek | is there any log file for APTonCD? If so, where would it be stored? | 07:18 |
| SuspectZero | nickrud, an no worries then. | 07:18 |
| nickrud | avishek, I'd look in /var/log, possibly /var/log/apt | 07:18 |
| SuspectZero | i'll ask the whole channel now i guess | 07:18 |

| SuspectZero | hello andrewfree | 07:19 |
| nickrud | make the dir conf.d in /etc/mysql, then touch old_passwords.cnf in that dir | 07:20 |
| SuspectZero | how can i configure lupin-casper or lupin-support so that it hooks the iso, then mounts it as root on loop. | 07:20 |
| andrewfree | nickrud: done. | 07:21 |
| nickrud | andrewfree, if that fails, then we'll try the line 144 in http://pastebin.com/m15b75a40 with false substituted for $RET | 07:21 |
| netbook | wireless question to follow: | 07:21 |
| nickrud | andrewfree, ok, try the install again | 07:21 |
| netbook | I set my /etc/network/interfaces to join my wpa protected home wifi | 07:22 |
| andrewfree | nickrud: an epic mess. | 07:22 |
| nickrud | lol | 07:22 |
| netbook | I wish to join my uni wireless which has a certificate. How do I add more wifi networks to interfaces? | 07:22 |
| nickrud | I don't know why it wants to pretend there's old info there. Did you leave the database in place? | 07:23 |
| andrewfree | nickrud: missing files, bad exit codes, just fail. http://pastebin.com/m12258051 | 07:23 |
| andrewfree | nickrud: No i deleated it | 07:23 |
| andrewfree | im fine with losing everything I just want a fucking server! | 07:23 |
| andrewfree | XD | 07:23 |
| nickrud | andrewfree, I'm at a loss, really. That's not the error I expected from the change we made. | 07:24 |
| Deven2 | Hi is this the appropriate place to ask about configuring apache on my ubuntu server? | 07:25 |
| nickrud | I expected it to work, or to say it couldn't understand that file we created(cuz it was empty) | 07:25 |
| andrewfree | nickrud: I would think a normal purge and install would work.. | 07:25 |
| nickrud | but the other errors... | 07:25 |
| andrewfree | Im really tempted to just update it to 9.04 and start over. | 07:25 |
| c00lryguy | anyone know the font used for "Linux For human Beings"? | 07:25 |
| andrewfree | this SQL issue is total bullshit. | 07:26 |
| nickrud | andrewfree, exactly. I've done that plenty of times, there's some obvious thing we're missing. | 07:26 |
| andrewfree | how do I get the version of ubuntu it is? | 07:26 |
| andrewfree | and its not been updated normaly etc... | 07:26 |
| avishek | is there any way to replicate the function of APTonCD without using APTonCD? APTonCD just exits on the 3 machines I use. | 07:26 |
| Bluey | why all of a sudden does Amarok say it can't find a suitable plugin for mp3's - this occurred after the last kernel release... | 07:26 |
| andrewfree | I just use it for personal website testing and learning myself. | 07:26 |
| nickrud | andrewfree, usb_release -a | 07:27 |
| andrewfree | so I dont care about security and stuff so i could use a update. | 07:27 |
| andrewfree | nickrud: umm no? | 07:27 |
| nickrud | you'd be pretty secure with any version of ubuntu. You don't need a 'server' or 'lts' to be secure | 07:27 |
| nickrud | lsb_release ;) | 07:28 |
| andrewfree | yea but im more talking about just updates for services | 07:28 |
| andrewfree | there we go XD | 07:28 |
| Bluey | andrew cat /etc/issue iirc | 07:28 |
| c00lryguy | I know the font used for the Ubuntu logo is downloadable in the repo, but whats the font used for "Linux For Human Beings" in the logo? | 07:28 |
| andrewfree | hmm 8.04 so its not old... | 07:28 |
| avishek | is there any way to replicate the function of APTonCD without using APTonCD? APTonCD just exits on the 3 machines I use. | 07:28 |
| nickrud | that's the 'server' good till 2013 release | 07:28 |
| Bluey | yes 8.04 is about a year old | 07:28 |
| Bluey | 9.10 is due out end of month | 07:29 |
| nickrud | won't be the latest software but it'll be rock solid (hahahah) and get security updates | 07:29 |
| andrewfree | yea... w/e Im just installing 9.04 on a clean install I just need apache openssh and mysql-server right now. | 07:29 |
| nickrud | andrewfree, try asking on #ubuntu-server , it can be empty but it also attracts serious server users | 07:29 |

| Fome | Anyone here with experience with ubunto on Acer Aspire One? | 08:35 |

| Whiper | ActionParsnip1: hey i am not able to understand that file | 08:37 |
| contrast | jerknextdoor: I don't have either of those installed so I can't check for you, but try running "transmission --help" and "pidgin --help" from the terminal. If there's an option for that, you can just add it to the program's entry in the menu editor. | 08:37 |

| contrast | jerknextdoor: Not sure. Do you have all the plugins for Pidgin? One might give an option for it. | 08:41 |

| Fome | I just installed Ubuntu 9.04 on an Acer Aspier One ZG5, and the touchpad is behaving really strange. It is like some of the desktop doesn't activate when the mouse hovers over it, resulting in it being impossible to click stuff. So for example I open the terminal, but then I cannot close it by clicking the "x". I had the same problem with Kuki and EasyPeasy as well. | 08:41 |

| Whiper | ActionParsnip1: ok how to do that | 08:43 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Whiper: sudo apt-get install build-essential | 08:43 |
| contrast | mlissner: Assuming your repositories are authenticated (all of the default ones are), yes, pretty much guaranteed. | 08:43 |

| jerknextdoor | contrast: yeah. i was just wondering if there was a universal methoed to make no windows popup at startup. i'm headed to #pidgin after i get some other stuff configured. thanks anyways? | 08:43 |
| ActionParsnip1 | onats: what do you do once connected via vnc? | 08:43 |
| mlissner | contrast: Do you know how that works? Is it via me having the correct public key for each package source? | 08:44 |
| onats | ActionParsnip,browse a local web application | 08:44 |
| Whiper | ActionParsnip1: ok let me check | 08:44 |
| ActionParsnip1 | onats: is it not browsable for an external PC? | 08:44 |
| contrast | mlissner: Correct. | 08:44 |
| deanc[work] | Hi folks. My firefox displays a big grey box with a play icon whenever this is flash on the page. Rather than autoplaying the movies, it requires me to click play. Any ideas how to solve this? | 08:44 |
| ActionParsnip1 | onats: tat would be much faster than streaming an entire desktop | 08:44 |
| contrast | jerknextdoor: No prob, good luck. | 08:45 |
| mlissner | contrast: Do you know if there is anything different about the sources that are security.mirror.whatever vs the mirror.whatever sources? | 08:45 |
| ActionParsnip1 | deanc[work]: do you have more than 1 flash plugin installed? | 08:45 |
| onats | ActionParsnip, its connected to my network via VPN.. somethings up with its firewall probably.. will check. but is this really the expected behavior of vncing? | 08:46 |
| ActionParsnip1 | onats: vnc is massively bulky and slow and not encrypted so is not secure | 08:46 |
| contrast | jerknextdoor: Did you already check out alltray? It says in the package description it's for applications which don't have a native tray icon, but it might be worth a look anyway. | 08:46 |

| onats | ActionParsnip, you have any other suggestions? remoting client/server? | 08:47 |
| deanc[work] | ActionParsnip1: not that i am aware of | 08:47 |
| contrast | mlissner: Not too sure, honestly. Different how? | 08:47 |
| ActionParsnip1 | onats: ssh with x forwarding is pretty good, or ssh at terminal is hugely quick | 08:47 |
| onats | ActionParsnip, that's something i havent figured out yet.. ssh with x forwarding.. | 08:48 |
| mlissner | contrast: Not sure. I just noticed a while back there was some differentiation about those when looking in /etc/apt/sources.list | 08:48 |
| jerknextdoor | contrast: alltray is annoying. i used to use it. it was super buggy. pidgin has a tray icon it just pops up at start up and makes me close it...which would be alright except it screws with on of the scripts i have running at startup. | 08:48 |
| ActionParsnip1 | deanc[work]: i suggest you uninstall all flash packages (flashplugin-installer flashplugin-nonfree gnash swdec whatever) then install only flashplugin-nonfree | 08:48 |
| ActionParsnip1 | onats: sudo apt-get install openssh-server | 08:48 |
| ActionParsnip1 | onats: x forwarding is default enabled, from a linux box you can run: ssh -X user@server and run local apps | 08:49 |
| contrast | mlissner: From my [limited] understanding, the security repo is strictly for package updates which fix security holes. Not sure if that answers your question. | 08:49 |
| ActionParsnip1 | onats: from a windows client you will need putty and xming installed, you can then run xming to give a virtual x server and run: putty -X user@server | 08:49 |
| zmohar | is it safe to keep my password using firefox password manager? | 08:49 |

| lstarnes | sddr: x has nothing to do with internet connections | 08:50 |
| mlissner | contrast: In any case, it seems like packages should be good and secure. So that's good. | 08:50 |
| verges | anyone any idea? | 08:50 |
| contrast | mlissner: Any certain reason you're asking, or just curious? | 08:50 |
| zmohar | yeah .. that's a relief .. | 08:50 |
| ActionParsnip1 | sddr: links2 w3m | 08:50 |

| sddr | but without nm-applet .. how to i connect to my wifi? | 08:51 |
| ActionParsnip1 | sddr: nslookup will give you "a connection", depends what you want to connect to and for | 08:51 |
| lstarnes | sddr: what kind of encryption does it use? | 08:51 |
| mlissner | contrast: research for HW. I'm looking for holes in the PGP. Can't find any useful ones in the package itself, so I'm fishing for holes in the obtaining the package. | 08:51 |

| ActionParsnip1 | sddr: /etc/network/interfaces file | 08:52 |

| sddr | simple wifi connection .... just want to use console based irssi and without running any window manager (or X server) | 08:53 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Whiper: then websearch round, ive not used it myself, so cannot really help | 08:53 |
| mlissner | contrast: yeah, seems like a dead end. | 08:53 |
| contrast | mlissner: So obviously, if a repo is compromised, the packages can be authenticated with a 230957203972-bit key and it won't matter. | 08:53 |
| Whiper | ActionParsnip1: | 08:53 |
| Whiper | ActionParsnip1: ok then what should i do now | 08:53 |
| lstarnes | sddr: you might want to check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WPAHowTo | 08:54 |

| ActionParsnip1 | NoReflex: if its under karmic, you need to head to #ubuntu+1 | 09:01 |
| sddr | ActionParsnip1: i read the page ... will ubuntu auto-connect at startup? so i will never need nm-applet running for internet to work | 09:01 |
| ActionParsnip1 | sddr: yes, if you edit that file | 09:01 |
| sddr | alright | 09:01 |
| ActionParsnip1 | sddr: you dont HAVE to have nm-applet to et LAN | 09:01 |
| ActionParsnip1 | sddr: i dont use it. I always use the interfaces file, nm-applet takes too long | 09:02 |
| latexknight | so anyone encountered problems with apt-get, unable to downgrade or reinstall from an unsuccessful install? | 09:02 |
| sddr | so far .. i did not know any other way :) that's how i sorted the internet issue when i tried fluxbox and openbox ... i was lost lol | 09:02 |
| NoReflex | ActionParsnip1: I have Ubuntu and Kubuntu (Jaunty and karmic) - I don't know how to open that damn file in either | 09:02 |
| joaopinto | latexknight, downgrading is not supported, what error are you getting ? | 09:02 |
| pngll | Is it possible to act as a user? Right now I create things as root and chown them afterwards but it would be easier if I could do something that makes me act as a given user. | 09:03 |
| ActionParsnip1 | NoReflex: I'd log a bug | 09:03 |
| joaopinto | pngll, you mean, su user ? | 09:03 |
| ActionParsnip1 | pngll: you could create a new group and add yourself and root to the group, then change the group ownership to the new group and allow write access | 09:03 |
| zenlunatic | pngll: yeah, su=switch user | 09:03 |
| pradeep | lol | 09:04 |
| albanux | hi | 09:04 |
| latexknight | joaopinto, i don't know what error, cuz read the pastebin, it doesn't say, its not so much down grading as purging the new release, and trying to install the old one back, http://pastebin.com/d244aa21 | 09:04 |
| pngll | joaopinto, zenlunatic tanks I will try that. | 09:04 |
| latexknight | what entries do i have to edit to completely remove v5.1 release, maybe apt-get is getting hung up on seeing that v5.1 might possibly be installed | 09:05 |
| joaopinto | latexknight, how did you got with the 5.1 release ? | 09:06 |
| === |eXeC001er| is now known as eXeC001er | ||
| joaopinto | latexknight, yes, the 5.0 preinstallation fails because you have already 5.1 installed, and it's getting in it's way in some part of the pre install script | 09:07 |
| latz | hi I am trying to remove firebird1.5-classic and I get errors? what can I do to force remove it? | 09:07 |
| === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log | ||
| joaopinto | latexknight, how did you install 5.1 ? | 09:07 |
| latexknight | not sure, i found some site suggesting to add some links to apt-get's link table for release updates, i added them, then told aptget to install v5.1 it failed, and i purged it, then removed the v5.1 links and tried to install v5.0 but failed | 09:07 |

| joaopinto | latexknight, do you have any data on mysql that you care about ? | 09:08 |
| latexknight | no | 09:08 |
| Dhuski | Does anyone know anything other than Brasero (doesn't work for me) that can make iso's? | 09:08 |

| HypothesisFrog | joaopinto haven't been able to find any relevant to jaunty. | 09:09 |
| rakesh_ | cn any one help me | 09:09 |
| Dhuski | joaopinto, I'll try it out thanks. | 09:09 |

| breiko | Hi folks! I'm trying to write into an external drive formatted with osx from my ubuntu box but it says "read only file system". Is there a way to write into hfsplus file system? Can you suggest me something? | 09:09 |
| pradeep | Dhuski k3b | 09:09 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Dhuski: if its a CD, you can use dd. or if you are using a folder you can use mkisofs | 09:09 |
| joaopinto | H3AV3N, you just need to download and click on the .deb file from the skpe site | 09:09 |
| latexknight | joaopinto, what should I do? find all the files matching '*mysql*' and delete them? | 09:10 |
| apparle | rakesh_: Actually wine is not perfect and it gives you pretty low performace with games............. for games you better dual boot | 09:10 |
| DJones | rakesh_: As its problems while running games in Wine, you'll probably get a better answer if you ask in #winehq, thats the support channel for problems with wine | 09:10 |
| joaopinto | latexknight, no, you do a purge on mysql-common | 09:10 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Dhuski: dd if=/dev/cdrom of=~/cd.iso | 09:10 |
| joaopinto | latexknight, sudo apt-get purge mysql-common | 09:10 |
| latexknight | i already didd that, it didn't help | 09:10 |
| joaopinto | then you you reinstall it if you need | 09:10 |
| latexknight | ^^ | 09:10 |
| joaopinto | latexknight, with purge on mysql-common ? | 09:10 |
| joaopinto | latexknight, note that it's common, not -server | 09:10 |
| Dhuski | ActionParsnip1, interesting...I'll try that out too... | 09:11 |
| Whiper | ActionParsnip1: hey i dont know how to copy the tar file in /usr/local/src | 09:11 |
| joaopinto | the mysql config files are installed by -common | 09:11 |
| joaopinto | that is the usual root cause for a mysql upgrade error | 09:11 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Dhuski: or: mkisofs -o ~/cd.iso /path/to/source | 09:11 |
| latz | http://pastebin.com/m3f95a44c | 09:11 |
| Whiper | ActionParsnip1: it is say permission denied | 09:11 |
| latexknight | YES common | 09:11 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Whiper: use sudo cp or (easier) run: gksudo nautilus and you can copy it with that | 09:11 |
| H3AV3N | pradeep: I managed to fix the Photoshop problem. For future reference if someone asks: install cabextract then install winetricks and at the end sudo apt-get remove wine after uninstalling has finished (it won't remove Photoshop) then sudo apt-get install wine. | 09:12 |
| jony123 | how do i mount an sd card | 09:12 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Whiper: copying it as a user willfail as users do not have write access to anywhere in /etc | 09:12 |
| ActionParsnip1 | !mount | jony123 | 09:12 |
| ubottu | jony123: mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount | 09:12 |
| joaopinto | latexknight, so yes, purge failed you will need to manually identify the mysql 5.1 files | 09:12 |
| jeeves_Moss | joaopinto, can you take a shot @ this one for me please? http://pastebin.ca/1600741 | 09:13 |
| godstar | jony123: sudo apt-get install pysdm | 09:13 |
| joaopinto | jeeves_Moss, missing perl library | 09:13 |
| godstar | jony123: then type sudo pysdm inside terminal | 09:13 |
| jony123 | godstar: Yea i kni | 09:13 |
| jony123 | kno | 09:13 |
| hmm1233 | hi anyone know where I can get a copy of libGLU.so? | 09:14 |
| pradeep | H3AV3N great | 09:14 |
| sddr | +1 for pysdm | 09:14 |
| joaopinto | jeeves_Moss, /usr/local/bin/prepflog.pl <- this doesn't look from an official package | 09:14 |
| H3AV3N | pradeep: Yeah it finally works :X | 09:14 |
| latexknight | joaopinto, i deleted all the files '*mysql*5.1*' but it didn't help, i think its written in some files somewhere, you have any suggestions? | 09:15 |
| ActionParsnip1 | hmm1233: looks like its a symlink to /usr/lib/libGLU.so.1 | 09:15 |
| pradeep | is cabextract winetricks like wine | 09:15 |
| ActionParsnip1 | hmm1233: try: sudo apt-get install xlibmesa-glu | 09:15 |
| ActionParsnip1 | hmm1233: and/or xlibmesa-glu-dev | 09:15 |
| joaopinto | latexknight, yes, you will need to read the mysql-server pre-install script, the script must mention the files that are being checked | 09:15 |
| ActionParsnip1 | !info xlibmesa-glu | 09:16 |
| Dhuski | ActionParsnip1, is there an online tutorial for the dd command? | 09:16 |
| ubottu | xlibmesa-glu (source: xorg): transitional package for Debian etch. In component universe, is optional. Version 1:7.4~5ubuntu18 (jaunty), package size 0 kB, installed size 24 kB | 09:16 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Dhuski: man dd is all i can suggest | 09:16 |

| Dhuski | ActionParsnip1, k thanks... | 09:17 |
| speedo_ | guys i've just installed a new brand 9.04 ...i've got a geForce g105m and even if i've installed it's drivers visual effect can't work | 09:18 |
| apparle | Sometimes the driver starts normally and at other times it doesn't (ati open source) what to do | 09:18 |
| jeeves_Moss | joaopinto, I'm trying to use awstats to parse the postfix log files | 09:18 |
| joaopinto | jeeves_Moss, did you install awstats from the repositories ? | 09:19 |
| jeeves_Moss | joaopinto, yes | 09:19 |
| hmm1233 | ActionParsnip1, Thanks but I just need the single library | 09:19 |
| jeeves_Moss | joaopinto, it works great for HTTP and FTP data | 09:19 |
| joaopinto | jeeves_Moss, can't help you more, I am not familiar with perl, and it's very odd that an official package places files on usr/local | 09:20 |
| apparle | Is there someway I can ensure that the composititng starts for my ATi opensource driver...........currently it starts sometimes and sometimes doesn't | 09:20 |
| Whiper | ActionParsnip1: ok now i have copied the file in usr/local/src | 09:20 |
| d0wn | which one do i install? flashplugin-installer or flashplugin-nonfree? | 09:21 |
| Whiper | ActionParsnip1: now what to type in terminal to complie the pachage | 09:21 |
| jeeves_Moss | joaopinto, ok, thanks | 09:21 |
| latexknight | joaopinto, where do i find the installation script for the package? | 09:21 |
| kraut | moin | 09:21 |
| heaven_ | joaopinto: Thanks that worked, thanks a lot :D | 09:22 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Whiper: like you said: run: make | 09:22 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Whiper: the file tells you what to do | 09:22 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Whiper: make is the command you need to run | 09:22 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Whiper: you need to cd into the folder you extracted from the archive | 09:23 |
| Whiper | ActionParsnip1: yes | 09:23 |
| Whiper | ActionParsnip1: so now in just type make in run | 09:23 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Whiper: no, there is no run, its ALL in the terminal | 09:24 |
| Whiper | ActionParsnip1: hey in terminal it say no make target | 09:25 |
| latexknight | ? | 09:25 |
| apparle | where is the xorg.conf in jaunt | 09:25 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Whiper: then you are not in the right folder | 09:25 |
| apparle | *jaunty | 09:25 |
| ActionParsnip1 | apparle: /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 09:25 |
| lerster | why does Jaunty suck? | 09:25 |
| ActionParsnip1 | apparle: like all linuxes | 09:26 |
| lerster | b/c it doesn't run QUake1 =) | 09:26 |
| ActionParsnip1 | lerster: try quake live :) | 09:26 |
| lerster | it rips out whatever remains of linux when it upgrades the kernal... that's from an UPGRADE perspective. | 09:26 |
| Whiper | ActionParsnip1: how to go in right folder | 09:26 |
| apparle | ActionParsnip1: I thought it was different because there was no such file in the directory | 09:26 |
| lerster | i don't want q3 graphics | 09:26 |
| lerster | i want q1 =( | 09:26 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Whiper: cd <folder name> | 09:26 |
| ActionParsnip1 | lerster: have you installed video drivers? | 09:26 |
| lerster | but its not a major issue i just refuse to upgrade | 09:26 |
| lerster | as when i last upgraded to jaunty | 09:27 |
| lerster | quake would no longer run | 09:27 |
| ActionParsnip1 | lerster: quakelive uses quake1 gfx afaik | 09:27 |
| lerster | the linux client for quakeone anyways | 09:27 |
| lerster | i don't care about quake live | 09:27 |

| ActionParsnip1 | Whiper: as I said, i dont know the exact file structure for every source file on the internet. | 09:29 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Whiper: so you will have to dig around in the source to find where you have to run make | 09:29 |
| joaopinto | latexknight, /var/lib/dpkg/info/*mysql*postinst* | 09:30 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Whiper: as the files are in /usr/local/src you may need to use sudo make | 09:30 |
| lerster | i asks these that programmed Ubuntu (as nice an easy it is to use) eventually make sure QUAKE1 works.... the linux client on www.quakeone.com | 09:30 |

| lerster | anyways my issue as i said is a (very small one) since the quake 1 community isn't huge. But, i would seriously appreciate it if someone looks into why ubunto 8.10 runs the linux glpro quake client and yet, the Jaunty version does not... it doesn't even load it. | 09:41 |
| lerster | =/ | 09:41 |
| ActionParsnip1 | adrian__: does: sudo iwlist scan show any APs? | 09:41 |

| adrian__ | let me chek | 09:43 |
| Tiger_Rawrr | what about the best file recovery progamme for linux | 09:43 |

| lerster | an it ran under 8.10 | 09:43 |
| parapan | hi there fellows! does someone knows if there is a channel for ssh/freeNX ???? it seems that I cannot login using the console ....... | 09:43 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Tiger_Rawrr: there is no best anything for linux | 09:43 |
| lerster | i wanna know what the heck jaunty uninstalls | 09:43 |
| lerster | when it upgrades but... unfortunately i can't give that info as i refuse to upgrade again | 09:44 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Tiger_Rawrr: a great way to recover data is to restore from your backups | 09:44 |
| adrian__ | ActionParsnipl: this is wat come out Ignoring unknown interface wlan0=wlan0. | 09:44 |
| Tiger_Rawrr | thats the problem i dont have the backups for the windows before this ubuntu was installed over the thing | 09:44 |
| breiko | :S | 09:45 |
| ActionParsnip1 | adrian__: thought so, if you run: sudo lshw -C network | grep product you will see what chip you have, you can then websearch using that | 09:45 |
| matt2154 | ikonia: you around? | 09:45 |
| ikonia | maybe | 09:45 |
| lerster | anyways if anyone can figure out why Jaunty of ubuntu doesn't work for the linux quake1 client i would gladly upgrade. :) | 09:45 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Tiger_Rawrr: all i can offer is this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery | 09:45 |
| ikonia | lerster: ask the quake1 client developers/maintainers | 09:45 |
| lerster | but till than, i won't. :) on a side note, it is definately the prettiest linux distro and easiest to install out there. | 09:45 |
| adrian__ | ActionParsnipl: is this right RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+??? | 09:46 |
| matt2154 | ikonia: may I show you a strace of this pusleaudio startup issue? | 09:46 |
| lerster | nah i'll just use ubuntu 8.10 since it runs it | 09:46 |
| ActionParsnip1 | lerster: you havent said why it is bad, you havent said what it does / doesnt do or why you are having issue | 09:46 |
| lerster | jaunty does not | 09:46 |
| lerster | its all on these two links | 09:46 |

| AlHafoudh | is it possible to have vlc as stream server and accept for example audio stream from other and resteram it elsewhere? | 09:54 |
| ikonia | matt2154: just reading now | 09:54 |
| matt2154 | ikonia: cool | 09:54 |
| DMihalcin | alpha: Actually I mean a NES emulator, I already have a SNES emulator. That being, ZSNES. | 09:54 |
| lerster | ActionParsnip1: it posts the recompilation on jaunty upgraded from 8.10 for the glproquake client that ran fine on 8.10 ubuntu release and on page 4 shows the starting info that the terminal provides for why it doesn't load... as it ran on 8.10 ubunto i feel it should run on jaunty but it does not, prior to recompile or after recompile it gives that same loading error (which is that of the game loading in console yet.. not loading). | 09:54 |

| XxsiriusprxX | can someone hlp me i hava a wireless card problem on ubuntu 9.04 i have a hp pavilion zv6000 | 10:21 |
| rakesh_ | after that ikonia | 10:21 |
| ikonia | matt2154: but if you scroll down - you'll see an exit and then a clone process start - which suggests it's had the disk pulled from under it | 10:21 |
| ikonia | rakesh_: reboot and you should be fine | 10:21 |
| JanHolbo | I need some help with ecryptfs. I lost my root partition and thus the keys and passphrase. I can use the method mentioned in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EncryptedPrivateDirectory (Design section) to get to my files but the file names are still encrypted (btw I answer yes to plaintext passthrough against the no in the solution - I have tried with no, did not help) | 10:21 |
| ikonia | matt2154: when I say disk - I mean Nfs mount | 10:22 |
| matt2154 | ikonia: yeah, i took that as your meaning... | 10:22 |
| OdonFeer | Hey guys, stupid question... I'm just now tempted to install ubuntu linux, and noticed that a new version is on its way. If I install 9.04 will I be able to upgrade easily when the next revision is out? | 10:22 |

| XxsiriusprxX | can someone hlp me i hava a wireless card problem on ubuntu 9.04 i have a hp pavilion zv6000 i already isntall the driver and every is runnig but the card doesnt detect any wireless conection | 10:22 |
| ikonia | matt2154: you'll then notice it trys the same process again, eg: I can't finish what I started, so I'll start again | 10:23 |
| ikonia | rakesh_: you won't see anything - restart your machine and you should be good to go | 10:23 |
| JanHolbo | OdonFeer: that should be reasonaby simple | 10:23 |

| Morwind | Hey guys. I'm following a no CD installation guide for ubuntu | 11:01 |
| Morwind | And this was referenced: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/gutsy/main/installer-i386/current/images/hd-media/ | 11:02 |
| Morwind | It 404's.. | 11:02 |
| JanHolbo | unplug, uhmmm I think that can be done in the power preferences ..... | 11:02 |
| Morwind | I poked around the directories there and found this: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/jaunty/main/installer-i386/current/images/hd-media/ | 11:02 |
| Morwind | Is that the correct one to use? | 11:02 |
| jerknextdoor | JanHolbo: server. basically i have a todo.txt on my comp that i have speen the last two weeks configuring properly and i want to be able to email myself+todo@gmail.com with a "todo action subjectline" and have that action automatically added to the list. | 11:03 |
| JanHolbo | unplug, but not sure | 11:03 |
| [fade] | unplug in power preferences just edit the wargning and add your alarm sound | 11:03 |
| [fade] | yes, it can be done there, notification already exists | 11:03 |
| DJones | Morwind: The page will have disappeared because because gutsy reached its end of life in april 2009 and isn't supported anymore | 11:03 |
| Morwind | I see. | 11:03 |
| Tiger_Rawrr | ok one more problem i am trying to find my wireless connection on my list of wireless but its not there would there be any special reason for that | 11:03 |
| Morwind | So go with what is under Jaunty? | 11:03 |
| JanHolbo | jerknextdoor, which mta are you using? procmail? | 11:03 |
| nayfe | Hi! I have problem with IrfanView under Wine. Installed required windows library, but still have "fixme:actctx:parse_depend_manifests Could not find dependent assembly L"Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls" (6.0.0.0)" Googled, but no effect. Sorry id asking about wine is not allowed here. | 11:03 |
| [fade] | Tiger_Rawrr go into wireless manager and scan it manually | 11:04 |
| JanHolbo | jerknextdoor, is gmail forwarding to your account? | 11:04 |
| [fade] | or jsut ented your ssid and it will connect to it | 11:04 |
| DJones | Morwind: If you're installing Jaunty, it looks like you've found the equivalent with that 2nd link | 11:04 |
| Morwind | Alright, thanks. | 11:04 |
| doktoreas | anyone can suggest a tool to create a database and export it to SQL? | 11:04 |
| DJones | Morwind: What guide are you following to install from? | 11:04 |
| jerknextdoor | JanHolbo: i'm not using anything yet. i was just looking for advie before i started just randomly experimenting. i am install procmail right now. | 11:04 |
| Morwind | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromWindows | 11:04 |
| jiohdi | nayfe, if you get the zip'd version that does not require any install after unzipping, it works under wine just fine | 11:04 |

| Morwind | CTRL+F: The CD image approach | 11:05 |
| Morwind | approach | 11:05 |
| TheSage | iamelite - In primary advantage of 64 Bit OS's for the common user is that you can break the 4 Gig memory limit that 32 Bit systems have. | 11:05 |
| JanHolbo | jerknextdoor, ok - maybe one of the gmail apps out there would be a choice - prefebly a shell one | 11:05 |
| Morwind | Having to install that way because I lack a CD to burn to | 11:05 |
| Tiger_Rawrr | how do i find the wireless manager | 11:05 |
| jerknextdoor | JanHolbo: i'll take a look. | 11:05 |
| iamelite | TheSage, So you are to tell me that me, with 2 gigs ram, would experiance no gain running 64 bit? | 11:05 |
| nayfe | i tried, it worked two times, now crashes immediatly. | 11:06 |
| DJones | Morwind: If you've not seen it, this page could be useful as well https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation#Installation without a CD | 11:06 |
| jiohdi | nayfe ... I could not get the installer.exe for ifranview to run at all, but when I got the zipped version that did not require install, it worked fine | 11:06 |
| JanHolbo | iamelite, none whatsoever - it might even be a hit as 64 bit software takes up more space than 32 bit same | 11:06 |
| TheSage | iamelite - For Ubuntu, I recommend that unless you have a specific reason to run 64 bit, don't. Run the 32 bit versian. | 11:07 |
| unplug | in Power Management preferences??? | 11:07 |
| Morwind | I will check that page out, thanks DJones | 11:08 |
| iamelite | Would goign 32 bit improve my wine compatability with games? | 11:08 |
| TheSage | iamelite - Going 32 bit would improve compatibility overall. | 11:08 |
| rsk | iamelite: yes | 11:08 |
| iamelite | im sold | 11:09 |
| rsk | iamelite: 64bit wine only runs 64bit apps | 11:09 |
| unplug | [fade], in Power Management preferences??? | 11:09 |
| iamelite | im about to wipe my main drive and try 9.10 with ext 4, good idea or bad idea? | 11:09 |
| JanHolbo | TheSage, iamelite I think that goes for just about any OS - 64 bit versions eat up more space than 32 bit and thus has really only any good use in environments where you have plenty of memory (8+ GB - I know the physical limit is 4GB but depending on software and use I think you need min 7-8 GBs of RAM to make a difference) | 11:09 |
| nayfe | Second question: system often crashes with fullscreen aps, if I could minimalise it I'd kill it, but I can't, and must reboot. How can I prevent it? | 11:09 |
| rsk | iamelite: impossible to tell | 11:09 |
| avishek | rsk: does running wine pose a security risk re. windows viruses? | 11:09 |
| JanHolbo | iamelite, bad - stik with 9.04 for the time being | 11:10 |
| JanHolbo | iamelite, 9.10 is still in beta | 11:10 |
| rsk | avishek: nope =) | 11:10 |
| avishek | rsk: thank you | 11:10 |
| iamelite | Yeah but i like to report bugs and feel important, mr JanHolbo | 11:10 |
| unplug | hi! i am running UNR on my netbook and would like to know whether there is an application that will trigger a loud alarm whenever the power cable is removed? in power management preferences there is NO option for that! | 11:10 |
| JanHolbo | iamelite, and if you are running windows you can do a resize of your windows partition and have both | 11:11 |
| TheSage | JanHolbo - MS cleaned up the 64 Bit code for Windows 7 pretty well so a lot of the glitches are gone. Some Apps also have a marked improvement if you use the 64 bit version. | 11:11 |
| jiohdi | nayfe: how much memory does your machine have? | 11:11 |
| JanHolbo | iamelite, yeah but you risk loosing your data as it is still beta software | 11:11 |
| nayfe | jihodi, only 768MB | 11:11 |
| TheSage | JanHolbo - Especially Photoshop. | 11:11 |
| jiohdi | nayfe: are you using gnome, kde or what? | 11:12 |
| nayfe | jihodi, gnome with compiz | 11:12 |
| iamelite | JanHolbo, 1: i have a few backup drives, 2: I love to experiment. 3: I hate microsoft with a passion (No troll here) and 4... well i revert to the first as i dont be losing data | 11:12 |
| jiohdi | nayfe, might I suggest Xfce4 which runs leaner and allows more for other programs | 11:12 |
| === phnom_ is now known as phnom | ||
| avishek | rsk: would it possible to have an architecture with an Ubuntu terminal server running Wine serving diskless client nodes? | 11:13 |
| TheSage | JanHolbo - Of course, MS being MS, being able to break that 4 Gig limit goes a long way to help you run program on top of Vista/7 | 11:13 |
| nayfe | jhodi, no, thanks, i am attached to my bouncy windows, even if i must reboot sometimes :D | 11:14 |
| JanHolbo | TheSage, don't know too much about Win 7 but if you are using 64 bit assembler code with 64 bit data it takes up more space than 32 bit code with 32 bit data - no matter the OS - so with the same amount of memory you will hit the virtual memory sooner with 64 bit than 32 bit | 11:14 |
| jiohdi | nayfe, you can run compiz under xfce | 11:14 |
| TheSage | JanHolbo - True. | 11:14 |
| rsk | avishek: ofcourse | 11:15 |
| mo0nykit | How do I use locate only in the current directory (and recursively) ? | 11:15 |

| nayfe | jihodi, thx, i'll check it | 11:15 |
| JanHolbo | Anybody: I need some help with ecryptfs. I lost my root partition and thus the keys and passphrase. I can use the method mentioned in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EncryptedPrivateDirectory (Design section) to get to my files but the file names are still encrypted (btw I answer yes to plaintext passthrough against the no in the solution - I have tried with no, did not help) | 11:16 |
| TheSage | JanHolbo - But Windows is always using VM anyways, even when you have enough Ram. | 11:16 |
| jiohdi | nafye I run xfce on my laptop, its rock solid, no crashes | 11:16 |
| JanHolbo | TheSage, I know - maybe they have a stake in storage stocks :-) | 11:16 |
| _Techie_ | am i able to map the volume buttons on my powerbook to the pc speaker instead of master? | 11:16 |
| avishek | rsk: this is probably a silly question, but is it possible to convert an ordinary PC into a diskless node? | 11:17 |
| alexp__ | avishek: If the ordinary PC's network card supports netbooting, yes | 11:17 |
| TheSage | JanHolbo - hehe. | 11:18 |

| revf | hi, I'm a new linux user (about a month). I'm currently using xubuntu (installed with apt-get, not from scratch) and compiz. if I go through the normal upgrade process for karmic, will that mess up my current environment? | 11:50 |
| banisterfiend | joaopinto: so what do you suggest i do? this is driving me crazy, i cant find it anywhere, not even on the web | 11:50 |
| jiohdi | revf: there is always that potential | 11:50 |
| revf | but I mean | 11:51 |
| joaopinto | banisterfiend, no idea, eventually it was abandoned for some tecnhical reason | 11:51 |
| joaopinto | banisterfiend, you could apt-get source binutils, and check the source | 11:51 |
| jiohdi | revf: you can cp -R panel panel.bk to keep all your current panel settings and launchers | 11:51 |
| revf | how superficial is the ubuntu/xubuntu difference when it comes to upgrading the distribution? | 11:51 |
| revf | oh ok that helps | 11:51 |
| banisterfiend | joaopinto: ok thanks | 11:52 |
| revf | can I generally assume that settings in my home folder won't get fucked with, or do I need to back stuff up? | 11:52 |
| revf | beyond the panel | 11:52 |
| jiohdi | revf: if you need to reinstall them, you cannot do it from within a running system with Xfce, you will need to log in under kde or something else because the system will ignore attempts to fix it while running for the panel settings | 11:52 |
| jiohdi | revf: which are found at ~/.config/xfce4/panel | 11:53 |
| revf | ok, that sounds pretty mild as upgrade issues go | 11:53 |

| dooglus | ActionParsnip1: I don't know how to count its bits | 12:45 |
| dooglus | ActionParsnip1: but 4GB is only 2^32 I think, so 32 bits are enough to address it? | 12:46 |
| mo0nykit | What scripts cause the messages which come out during boot? Where are they usually located? I searched sample strings in /etc/init.d but couldn't find any | 12:46 |

| ActionParsnip1 | dooglus: makes sense, ive seen some 32bit systems only see 3.2Gb though | 12:46 |
| dooglus | ActionParsnip1: ok | 12:46 |
| ActionParsnip1 | dooglus: could even use a gentoo minimal CD to save data downloaded | 12:47 |

| adalgiso | dooglus: as long as you have a 64bit cpu, the amd64 version will work. Some things don't work properly, but I was able to get flash working, you just have to install the 32bit libraries and binaries for flash | 12:52 |

| ActionParsnip1 | dooglus: works great, theres a flashplugin in the repos as well as an lpha 64bit flash that might help | 12:52 |
| dooglus | and how's the speed of 32 vs. 64 bit on a 64 bit processor? and memory usage? | 12:53 |
| ActionParsnip1 | dooglus: depends on the task, some gain speed, the apps will use the same amount of ram | 12:53 |
| adalgiso | dooglus: your clock speed won't change, but you'll be able to utilize more memory space and programs that are written to utilize 64bit procs will be faster | 12:53 |
| ActionParsnip1 | dooglus: i think you should look at what 64bit really means | 12:53 |
| dooglus | ActionParsnip1: I was thinking that since pointers are twice the size the ram usage may go up | 12:54 |

| Ali_ | anyone know of a good rm to mp3 batch converter? | 13:22 |
| LjL | Ali_: why batch, can't you just run one in a loop? | 13:22 |
| gilster | hello, is anyone here got experience running ubuntu of a SCSI drive? | 13:23 |
| grawity | Ali_: You could try mencoder for that. | 13:23 |
| prajjwal | is there a way to completely disable the Caps Lock key ??? i dont mean use the keyboard config to change it to something else ... i mean make it so that it does nothing ???? | 13:23 |
| slavik2 | LjL: isn't that what a batch is? :> | 13:23 |
| Ali_ | haha | 13:23 |
| Ali_ | nice one slavik2 | 13:23 |
| Ali_ | :) | 13:23 |
| grawity | prajjwal: Yeah, with a screwdriver. | 13:23 |
| Ali_ | HAHA grawity | 13:23 |
| Ali_ | :D | 13:23 |
| LjL | slavik2, Ali_: sure. in that case, for file in *.rm; do your-favorite-non-batch-converter $file >$(basename $file .rm).mp3; done | 13:24 |
| adalgiso | prajjwal: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/disable-and-enable-caps-lock-in-ubuntu.html | 13:24 |
| prajjwal | i'll take that as a no ??? | 13:24 |
| prajjwal | oh thanks adalgiso | 13:24 |
| jaychou | gilster:you need a scsi Actuation | 13:24 |
| grawity | prajjwal: Or xmodmap if you like... but I personally prefer mapping it to Compose. Makes it easy to type things as § © | 13:24 |
| Ali_ | so what's a good converter from rm to mp3 then ? | 13:24 |
| Ali_ | mencoder? | 13:24 |
| gilster | jaychou: can you elaborate | 13:24 |

| dwarder | grawity: or somthing | 13:25 |
| hyb | rsk, but i have nothing | 13:25 |

| rsk | hyb: well i guess firefox opera and konqueror is among the more popular, give them a try | 13:26 |
| dwarder | grawity: vds, disc space limit | 13:26 |

| ubottu | Negao: 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. | 13:26 |
| dwarder | grawity: no, i dont need mail on this box | 13:26 |
| grawity | dwarder: I see. sudo apt-get remove sendmail, then. | 13:26 |

| gilster | jaychou: my system is already installed on scsi drive. i am having a different problem. When i resume from suspend mode scsi drive is not picked up | 13:27 |
| rsk | pradeep: pidgin irssi is 2 others | 13:27 |
| adalgiso | pradeep check the wikipedia articl on IRC for a list of clients | 13:28 |
| grawity | pradeep: Many like irssi or WeeChat. | 13:28 |

| pradeep | <dwarder> got to www.4shared.com and get a book called kung-fu ubuntu | 13:29 |
| Negao | but maybe, i wanted urs opinions | 13:29 |
| adalgiso | Negao: it really is telling the truth tho. I find nano to be the editor I use the most when i'm in a shell, and Gedit and Kate to be my favorite GUI editors | 13:29 |
| hyb | thanks | 13:29 |
| IndyGunFreak | maybe our opinion doesn't matter? | 13:29 |
| Negao | cause that's my favorite chanell | 13:29 |
| adalgiso | Negao: google search Python editors | 13:29 |
| ActionParsnip1 | adalgiso: try leafpad, its slick | 13:29 |
| William-Gentoo | idle | 13:29 |
| jaychou | gilster: Your meaning is your driver load | 13:30 |
| grawity | Negao: In my opinion, "best" is the one you keep after trying all the popular ones. | 13:30 |
| dwarder | update-rc.d i gurss | 13:30 |
| dwarder | guess | 13:30 |
| Negao | adalgiso, this irc thing is supposed to provide interaction, not to just see opinions like google | 13:30 |
| Dr_Willis | no ads on IRC either. | 13:30 |
| Dr_Willis | :) | 13:30 |

| JanHolbo | can anybody help me with decrypting encrypted filenames in ecryptfs? I can mount the encrypted /home dir and read the contents of the files but the filenames are still encrypted | 13:30 |
| Negao | grawity, good answer | 13:31 |
| jaychou | what is lol? | 13:31 |
| Dr_Willis | !lol | 13:31 |
| ubottu | Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. | 13:31 |
| Negao | jaychou, lots of laughs | 13:31 |
| ActionParsnip1 | jaychou: lots of laughs or laugh out loud | 13:31 |
| adalgiso | Negao: I understand that and want to help, but the channel gets flooded with requests like that all the time, and that's why the canned answer is there | 13:31 |
| grawity | jaychou: 'lol' usually means 'laughing out loud'. | 13:31 |
| gilster | jaychou: when i resume from suspend, i see all lines pointing to sdb not found. I think my scsi controler/drive is not loading up after susped | 13:31 |
| diesel1 | hi all does anyone no a good app for joining avi files | 13:32 |
| adalgiso | Negao: maybe a better question would be, "What python editor has (insert your feature)?" | 13:32 |
| ActionParsnip1 | diesel1: you can cp them together | 13:32 |
| diesel1 | whats cp | 13:32 |
| jaychou | gilster: so you can use "fdisk -l"to seraching | 13:32 |
| adalgiso | diesel1 the command "cp" | 13:33 |
| jaychou | and what is omg? | 13:33 |
| ActionParsnip1 | diesel1: you will need a single mencoder command to realign the sound | 13:33 |
| grawity | jaychou: 'omg' = "Oh my god" | 13:33 |
| diesel1 | ye what with | 13:33 |
| Negao | adalgiso, ok; i'm just gonna google, i might get better luck there | 13:33 |
| jaychou | grawity:thx i know,i'am new | 13:33 |
| adalgiso | diesel1 the command line. He's saying use the cp command at the command line to do what you are asking | 13:33 |
| ActionParsnip1 | diesel1: cat firstfile.avi secondfile.avi > concatenatedfile.avi ; mencoder -o finalmovie.avi -noidx -oac copy -ovc copy concatenatedfile.avi | 13:33 |
| jaychou | omg lol | 13:34 |
| gilster | jaychou: i cant get back in to the system. wont connect as the sdb is not seen. | 13:34 |

| gilster | sdb=my scsi drive | 13:34 |

| Bilge | What generates apt's sources.list in the first place? | 13:41 |
| grawity | Bilge: You. | 13:41 |
| grawity | Bilge: Or, the 'Software Sources' tool (from Administration) | 13:41 |
| adalgiso | Bilge: they are set to an initial group of repos when you install the distribution | 13:41 |
| Bilge | So where can I find these repos and get a new sources.list | 13:42 |
| adalgiso | Bilge: didn't someone send you their sources.list? | 13:42 |
| JanHolbo | can anybody help me with decrypting encrypted filenames in ecryptfs? I can mount the encrypted /home dir and read the contents of the files but the filenames are still encrypted | 13:43 |
| adalgiso | Bilge: either way, you can look up the addresses for the repos on the ubuntu website | 13:43 |
| Bilge | Yes but that's not going to help for future | 13:43 |
| Bilge | I'd like to write myself a guide that I can use for future installations | 13:43 |
| adalgiso | Bilge: normally, you'll only need the Ubuntu repositories unless some program isn't in them | 13:43 |
| grawity | sources.list happens to have a manpage | 13:43 |
| adalgiso | Bilge: if a program isn't in the official repos, then you edit your sources.list file and add a line at the bottom with the server | 13:43 |
| Bilge | I only need the default one it's just that my host has replaced it with their own mirrors which are incomplete | 13:43 |
| Bilge | So I just want to restore the deafault one for my distro | 13:44 |
| adalgiso | Bilge: what version of Ubuntu do you have? | 13:44 |
| Bilge | 8.04 server LTS | 13:44 |
| Bilge | aka hardy | 13:44 |
| bullgard4 | [solved] | 13:45 |

| dwarder | i have vsftpd in my ps ax| why i dont have script for stoping it in /etc/init.d/ | 13:46 |

| m1dlg | are there any good tools to run securely wiping free space on any mounted writeable drive? | 14:10 |
| blackjak_ | what is the command to change the user | 14:10 |
| sipior | m1dlg: "wipe" | 14:10 |
| ActionParsnip1 | m1dlg: shred | 14:11 |
| Shubuntu | davertron, can you please post your /etc/apt/sources.list and if there are any under /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ | 14:11 |
| blackjak_ | is there a way to stop seeing all the info about who logs in and out from the channel? | 14:11 |
| m1dlg | sipior, when i say wipe i want to wipe it so data can't be recvered | 14:12 |
| sipior | m1dlg: actually, reading your question more carefully, i think "secure-delete" would be a better package, specifically the "sfill" command. | 14:12 |
| ActionParsnip1 | blackjak_: what client? | 14:12 |

| m1dlg | ActionParsnip1, i'll look at that too, (oly just seen your reply too) :) | 14:14 |

| blackjak_ | how to change back from root in the terminal wihtout opening the new terminal | 14:16 |
| joey9112006 | hey im back | 14:16 |
| adalgiso | su username i believe | 14:17 |
| Shubuntu | davertron, and then 'vi /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head' and add the nameservers | 14:17 |
| celthunder | wb | 14:17 |
| davertron | Shubuntu: "sudo apt-get resolvconf" -> E: invalid operation resolvconf | 14:17 |
| ActionParsnip1 | blackjak_: type: exit | 14:17 |
| joey9112006 | but you were saying something about hte dpk and how to fix all that | 14:17 |
| davertron | install? | 14:17 |
| davertron | maybe? | 14:17 |
| blackjak_ | exit will close the terminal | 14:17 |
| blackjak_ | no yes | 14:17 |
| blackjak_ | it worked | 14:17 |
| joey9112006 | How do i manuallyrun the dpkg | 14:17 |
| Shubuntu | ok first need to manually add the nameserver for now then, then later do what i said, so do: 'vi /etc/resolv.conf' and add the nameserver | 14:18 |
| davertron | Shubuntu: ha, unfortunately i can't reinstall it using apt-get, because apt-get isn't working :) | 14:18 |
| joey9112006 | Does anyone know how to manually run the dpkg file | 14:18 |
| Shubuntu | davertron you can try aptitude maybe? | 14:18 |
| joey9112006 | using a terminal | 14:18 |
| davertron | Shubuntu: ok, so which nameserver should i add? | 14:18 |
| davertron | Shubuntu: i can edit resolv.conf and remove my current DNS and add a functioning one | 14:19 |
| Shubuntu | davertron go to your server and see what name servers it has | 14:19 |
| Shubuntu | yes, any functioning dns would be fine | 14:19 |
| JuJuBee | joey9112006: what do you mean dpkg file? Do you have a .deb file you wish to install? | 14:19 |
| pengemis | !id pengemis | 14:20 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about id pengemis | 14:20 |
| davertron | well i have the correct nameservers from DHCP | 14:20 |
| davertron | Shubuntu: not sure what you mean by "go to your server"... | 14:20 |
| dissociative | how is 9.10 going? | 14:20 |
| adalgiso | dissociative, i've got it running and its all good | 14:20 |
| Shubuntu | the isp or whatever that's giving you your ip | 14:20 |
| adalgiso | except my wireless started acting up yesterday | 14:20 |
| heatmzzr | can anyone tell me how to get my right click menu back on desktop? I've inadvertantly lost it | 14:20 |
| davertron | Shubuntu: aptitude also fails, same reason, for what it's worth | 14:20 |
| dissociative | I'm going to install ubuntu for a friend but I dont know if I should install 9.04 or 9.10 | 14:21 |
| davertron | Shubuntu: yeah, we run local DNS, and that's what i have in my resolv.conf | 14:21 |
| davertron | Shubuntu: i tried changing it to 4.2.2.1 and getting rid of the ones i get from our dhcp server, didn't matter | 14:22 |
| dissociative | would 9.10 beta be upgraded from internet when the the stable version is released? | 14:22 |
| davertron | Shubuntu: something is definitely hosed here :) | 14:22 |
| jorik | dissociative: yes, but 9.04 also | 14:22 |
| Shubuntu | just edit /etc/resolv.conf and add the nameserver and then /etc/init.d/networking restart | 14:23 |
| harry_ | hi | 14:23 |
| davertron | Shubuntu: yep, just did that, same thing | 14:23 |
| davertron | Shubuntu: still trying to connect to 212.165.142.178 | 14:24 |
| brandonc503 | hey all.. i was wondering if anyone knows of a open source ticketing system? | 14:24 |
| jorik | brandonc503: trac | 14:24 |
| Pici | brandonc503: rt | 14:24 |
| davertron | brandonc503: trac | 14:24 |
| brandonc503 | thanx | 14:24 |
| Shubuntu | davertron, did you try connecting to another server? | 14:25 |
| davertron | Shubuntu: if i google that IP, it shows up as a proxy | 14:25 |
| davertron | Shubuntu: do you think it's possible that, for whatever reason, apt-get is trying to go out through that proxy or something? | 14:26 |
| davertron | Shubuntu: i have another ubuntu machine on the same network with the same resolv.conf, and it can apt-get update just fine | 14:26 |
| Shubuntu | no davertron actually your problem was happening a lot in fiesty times | 14:26 |
| davertron | Shubuntu: ah, really? | 14:26 |
| davertron | Shubuntu: hmmmm | 14:26 |
| davertron | Shubuntu: well, for what it's worth, i'm still running intrepid | 14:27 |
| blackjak | End your description with an empty line or EOF. What does EOF mean? | 14:27 |
| Bilge | How can my Ubuntu system be booting if grub is not installed? | 14:27 |

| grawity | blackjak: also, I smell a new ClueNet user :] | 14:27 |
| JuJuBee | sorry | 14:27 |
| davertron | Shubuntu: i kept meaning to upgrade but haven't really had the time | 14:27 |
| davertron | Shubuntu: this is my work machine so | 14:28 |
| davertron | Shubuntu: now i finally can but just need to figure out what hosed my apt-get | 14:28 |
| JuJuBee | didn't mean to do that twice | 14:28 |
| davertron | Shubuntu: i'll try copying that other machine's sources.list over and see what that does... | 14:29 |
| ActionParsnip1 | JuJuBee: does alt+f2 work? | 14:29 |
| JuJuBee | ActionParsnip1: yes | 14:29 |
| grawity | blackjak: eh, nevermind that one. Wrong window. | 14:29 |
| ActionParsnip1 | JuJuBee: run nautilus ;) | 14:29 |
| JuJuBee | thats how I got to look at dmesg | 14:29 |
| Shubuntu | davertron do 'ifconfig' and 'netstat -tap' too and compare to the other machine | 14:29 |
| ActionParsnip1 | JuJuBee: nautilus draws the desktop, so its probably not started | 14:30 |
| JuJuBee | ActionParsnip1: I will try that when I get home later. I am using kde mostly, but did install gnome | 14:30 |
| davertron | Shubuntu: copying over sources.list didn't make a difference... | 14:30 |
| davertron | Shubuntu: lot of info dumped from the netstat -tap command | 14:31 |
| davertron | Shubuntu: on both machines | 14:31 |
| davertron | Shubuntu: ifconfig looks similar though | 14:31 |
| Shubuntu | do you know how to compare two files? | 14:31 |
| davertron | Shubuntu: yep | 14:31 |
| davertron | Shubuntu: diff | 14:31 |
| Shubuntu | ok, compare and see what is different | 14:31 |
| davertron | Shubuntu: unfortunately, one machine is a server and one is my desktop so | 14:31 |
| Shubuntu | doesn't matter | 14:31 |
| davertron | Shubuntu: since they have radically different apps running on them, i'm not sure the netstat comparison will really help that much | 14:32 |
| Shubuntu | you want to look for discrepancies | 14:32 |
| davertron | in ifconfig or netstat -tap? | 14:32 |
| Shubuntu | both | 14:32 |
| davertron | ifconfig basically looks like the only differences are IPs/MACs, which is what i would expect | 14:32 |
| Shubuntu | ok | 14:32 |

| Morwind | Hi. I just installed ubuntu on another hard drive. It loads grub, gets to the splash screen, and after that it halts at a black screen. Any help? | 15:53 |
| Ben_90 | n8tuser: when im in the standard terminal i type in "su" | 15:54 |
| n8tuser | Morwind-> did you wait long enuff? can you get a console via ctrl+alt+F1 ? | 15:54 |
| Ben_90 | n8tuser: and it asks me for a password and i type it and it works. | 15:54 |
| n8tuser | Ben_90-> su what? complete your command so we can understand what you're doing | 15:54 |
| Morwind | I waited 5 minutes. And no I did not try that. | 15:54 |
| Dr_Willis | su is normally disabled on a ubuntu system. unless you created a root user password (plus i thought one used 'su -' to get to a root terminal normally) | 15:55 |
| Ben_90 | n8tuser: the "su" command is so i can be root | 15:55 |
| n8tuser | Ben_90-> su by itself does not change you to a new yser | 15:55 |
| Pici | Ben_90: Are you running Ubuntu? | 15:55 |
| Xpistos|work | Can I load ubuntu without having the gui run by default? | 15:55 |
| Ben_90 | ues | 15:55 |
| Ben_90 | 9.04 | 15:55 |
| Ben_90 | yes | 15:55 |
| Ben_90 | yes* | 15:55 |
| FloodBot3 | Ben_90: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 15:55 |
| Dr_Willis | Xpistos|work: disable the gdm or kdm service. and it will go to the console | 15:55 |
| n8tuser | Xpistos|work-> yes | 15:56 |
| Pici | Ben_90: It sounds like you have set a password for the root account. | 15:56 |
| Xpistos|work | Dr_Willis: Then if I want to run Gnome just type gdm on the command line? | 15:56 |
| Doc_Lappy | su itself will just give you root, which isn't a good idea to do everything in root so becareful instead use sudo cmd | 15:56 |
| Dr_Willis | Xpistos|work: a user could use 'startx' | 15:56 |
| Ben_90 | n8tuser? | 15:56 |
| Xpistos|work | okay | 15:56 |
| Dr_Willis | Xpistos|work: or start the gdm service to spawn gdm.. 'sudo service gdm start' | 15:56 |
| n8tuser | Ben_90-> su by itself does not change you to a new user nor to root | 15:56 |
| Xpistos|work | Dr_Willis: How do I disable it ? | 15:56 |
| usb333 | [17:50] <usb333> hello, I have a problem in my system. It doesn't load the desktop after the login screen. I'm now talking from a web-based IRC client through Firefox from the Failsafe Terminal mode. [17:50] <usb333> I used wubi to install it if that has anything to do with the problem [17:50] <usb333> all i can see is my background and my cursor | 15:56 |
| Pici | n8tuser: yes it does, if you have the root account unlocked. | 15:57 |
| Ben_90 | n8tuser: how do i restore the sudoers file? | 15:57 |
| Dr_Willis | Xpistos|work: use 'bum' or the update-rc.d command | 15:57 |

| nocturno35 | Pici can you help me with an encrypted folder problem? thank you | 15:57 |
| Xpistos|work | Dr_Willis: Okay, so I am in the gui and I want to disable it on start up and I type 'bum" | 15:57 |
| Dr_Willis | Ben_90: boot live cd. in a terminaluse 'sudo -s' to get root shell.. mount the filesystem, fix the file | 15:57 |
| Dr_Willis | !info bum | Xpistos|work | 15:57 |

| Ben_90 | ok brb | 15:58 |
| Dr_Willis | Xpistos|work: if you have bum installed... its a X based tool. | 15:58 |
| Pici | nocturno35: I have not set that up on any of my installs, I'm afraid I cannot help. | 15:58 |
| Ben_90 | i get this message "sudo: /etc/sudoers is mode 0660, should be 0440" | 15:58 |
| Doc_Lappy | so anybody know anything about sound, mine just stopped working yesterday for no apparent reason other than I shut it off and back on | 15:58 |
| nocturno35 | Pici ok, thank you anyway :) | 15:58 |
| wildc4rd | afternoon all | 15:58 |
| IndyGunFreak | Doc_Lappy: check all the obvious stuff, volume sliders, speakers, not muted, etc..? | 15:59 |
| Pici | Ben_90: 1) chmod it back to 0440, 2) use visudo in the future for modifying the file 3) by default you should just need to add users to the admin group instead of modifying the file. | 15:59 |
| Dr_Willis | Ben_90: so you will want to use the command 'sudo chmod 0440 /etc/sudoers' from a live cd.. or rescue mode. normally | 15:59 |
| dbugger | Hey guys! My bluetooth applet crashed. How can I restart it? | 15:59 |
| Doc_Lappy | nope not muted and checked the master volume and volume on the player | 15:59 |
| IndyGunFreak | Doc_Lappy: is it just an application thats not giving you audio, or you're getting no audio at all. | 16:00 |
| Ben_90 | Pici: how do i chmod the file back to 0440? | 16:00 |
| Doc_Lappy | I did go thru a tutorial to fix it online installing abunch of stuff for pulse to get it to work but nothing yet | 16:00 |
| Doc_Lappy | no audio at all | 16:00 |
| Pici | Ben_90: chmod 0440 /etc/sudoers | 16:00 |
| Dr_Willis | Ben_90: so you will want to use the command 'sudo chmod 0440 /etc/sudoers' from a live cd.. or rescue mode. normally | 16:00 |

| Raydiation | im trying gnucash atm but its really bloated | 16:02 |
| Doc_Lappy | k thanks indy, I've changed it to both pulse and alsa then put it back to auto like it was before | 16:02 |

| Mrokii | hello. I would like to know how likely it is that an update to "libglib" could make the system unstable. Because I updated that some days ago through Synaptic and since then it sems that Ubuntu acts strangely (crashes and other things). | 16:05 |
| abgalphabet | can "Loading GRUB..." msg be hidden or not display at all during boot | 16:05 |
| Mike_lifeguard | Hi, I'm trying to set up an ssh server, but I am getting either "connection denied" or "permission denied" depending on what port I am listening on. I have no iptables rules, and port forwarding for both ports I'm trying to use is set up. | 16:06 |
| Chousuke | Mrokii: Well, glib is commonly used, so it is possible that if something's wrong with it many things will break. | 16:07 |
| Doc_Lappy | can you reinstall ubuntu over another ubuntu on a dual install without effecting the winxp that's on it? | 16:07 |
| === rags_ is now known as rags | ||
| Mrokii | Chousuke: One of the symptoms was that I was just put back to Ubuntus login-screen without any warning. | 16:07 |
| Mrokii | Chousuke: And I am thinking about reverting to the version I had installed before | 16:08 |
| Chousuke | Mrokii: it's hard to tell what's crashing | 16:08 |
| Chousuke | Mrokii: you might want to check launchpad for glib bugs reported | 16:08 |
| sahil | is there another way to reload grub loader which once overwrit by the window installation ...without usng commands?? | 16:09 |
| Mrokii | Chousuke: Sure, I think so, too. But it's a strange coincidence that Ubuntu started acting strangely right after this update | 16:09 |
| Doc_Lappy | on a dual boot of winxp/ubuntu can I replace the ubunt with a new one? I'd have to transfer some files like todays homework to cd but could do that if possible without having to screw up my winxp and have to reinstall winxp and then ubuntu as usual | 16:09 |
| Chousuke | Mrokii: yeah. it does sound likely that something's wrong with it. | 16:09 |
| Chousuke | Mrokii: was it a security update or are you using karmic? | 16:10 |
| Raydiation | IndyGunFreak: wow, grisbi is nice, exactly what i was looking for, ty | 16:10 |
| switchgirl1 | how to insert a tick into gimp? | 16:10 |
| switchgirl1 | I'm filling a form in | 16:10 |
| Mrokii | Chousuke: I am using Jaunty (64-bit) and it wasn't a security update. I think what it said something of a backport. | 16:11 |
| Chousuke | hmm :/ | 16:11 |
| IndyGunFreak | Raydiation: no prob... its a pretty good program, but like i said, i like gnucash myself... glad it worked for you. | 16:11 |
| Chousuke | why would anyone backport glib | 16:11 |
| Chousuke | Mrokii: hm, just to clarify, is it glib or glib2? | 16:12 |
| Mrokii | Chousuke: I think it mentioned something about backporting from Karmic, whatever that really means. I am not a programmer. | 16:12 |
| EvilRoey | Hola. Any chance that Ubuntu 9.10 will come with kernel 2.6.32? | 16:12 |

| === StaRetji_ is now known as StaRetji | ||
| IndyGunFreak | Doc_Lappy: no, you could reinstall over your old ubuntu install... you'd just have to do manual partitioning at the partitioning stage, and tell it to install over the old partitions. | 16:13 |
| liaol | ? | 16:13 |
| Mrokii | Chousuke: Can I see somewhere which repository was used? | 16:13 |

| Xaifas | When I try to open an whateverfile.o (object code file) after compiling something in C, i cannot open it , gives me unknown kind of file or something like that O.o | 16:14 |
| Doc_Lappy | k indy how do I do that reinstall then I'll get stuff burned that I can and do it because I can't stand not having sound on ubuntu to listen to music or watch youtube videos and stuff | 16:14 |
| Othman | but it's good to do a backip | 16:14 |
| Xaifas | Isnt ubuntu supposed to open the file in gedit or whatever? | 16:14 |
| Mrokii | Chousuke: According to Synaptic: libglib2.0-0 (2.20.1-0ubuntu2) to 2.20.1-0ubuntu2.1, along with -dev and -data-files | 16:15 |
| Doc_Lappy | just select instead of intire disk or whatever the other option and slide the bar over to where the old one is? | 16:15 |
| n8tuser | unplug i have an idea, see if you unplugging the power cord triggers a interrupt event | 16:15 |
| IndyGunFreak | Doc_Lappy: well... how i usually do it(AFTER BACKING UP), is boot the CD, when it comes to the partitioning stage, go to manual, and delete the old Ubuntu partitions, then set up the new partitions.... | 16:15 |
| Chousuke | Mrokii: that doesn't seem to be a backport. looks like the latest version in jaunty | 16:16 |
| Doc_Lappy | k I'm just not sure how to do it 'manually' that doesn't take me to terminal or anything does it indy? | 16:16 |
| Mrokii | Chousuke: As I said, I am not quite sure about that messge. Could be that I am mxing things up. Though the important part is the coincidence of crashes and upgrading | 16:16 |
| Doc_Lappy | but just the regular screen | 16:16 |
| usb333 | [17:50] <usb333> hello, I have a problem in my system. It doesn't load the desktop after the login screen.

| sipior | Xaifas: well, you'll probably want to use a hex editor for viewing/modifying object files. unless gedit has a hex plugin? (could be) "gedit foo.o" should still work. | 16:17 |
| IndyGunFreak | Doc_Lappy: no, not a CLI... its pretty easy.. if you're planning to do this now, I'll be here a while. | 16:17 |

| Chousuke | Mrokii: oh well, very likely it's the right one. | 16:20 |
| xipi | sipior: understand | 16:20 |
| Mrokii | Chousuke: The right one? In which sense? The cause of the problems or what? | 16:20 |
| Chousuke | Mrokii: the one that is most recent for jaunty | 16:20 |
| Chousuke | Mrokii: I'm just trying to ensure you haven't got some funky version installd | 16:20 |
| Mrokii | Chousuke: I have just looked at the properties of glib in Synaptic, and it shows this: "2.20.1-0ubuntu2.1 (jaunty-updates) | 16:24 |
| switchgirl1 | umm anyone know how to insert a tick on a form I am filling in (was sent it and scanned in ) in gimp? | 16:24 |
| Mrokii | Chousuke: And this as a second line: "2.20.1-0ubuntu2 (jaunty)" | 16:24 |

How can i solve this problem? | 16:25 |
| Chousuke | Mrokii: as long as it doesn't break dependencies in any way | 16:25 |

| Mrokii | Chousuke: I assume that when it's done automatically via Synaptic, it should take that in regard | 16:25 |
| Chousuke | Mrokii: though synaptic should yell you if it does :) | 16:26 |

| Mrokii | tehbaut: I think quite the contrary :) | 16:28 |

| tehbaut | Mrokii: FTFF and it would probably be a different story | 16:28 |
| grawity | xrfang: Or, hmmm :| | 16:28 |
| oberdada | n8tuser: it's not in the places menu on top | 16:28 |
| n8tuser | oberdada-> use the mount command, more details via man mount | 16:28 |
| oberdada | ok | 16:29 |
| xrfang | grawity: this will only export in the current "terminal", right? | 16:29 |

| IndyGunFreak | how could you not know what version of ubuntu you have? | 16:30 |
| tehbaut | Mrokii: yeah and since it's so ingrained in the os, it's not like I could use something like pathfinder ...effectively | 16:30 |
| IndyGunFreak | did you not pay attention when you downloaded the iso? | 16:30 |
| n8tuser | zouhair-> do it manually, ie using split perhaps | 16:30 |
| Mrokii | tehbaut: true | 16:30 |
| kaddi | IndyGunFreak: maybe when someone else helped you with the installed or gave you a live-cd | 16:31 |
| IndyGunFreak | kaddi: well i'm not sure i'd trust someone that just installed and left, and didn't bother telling me what verison they installed | 16:31 |
| tehbaut | that's my biggest complaint, others include having had 4 HDDs die in 4 years, because the macbooks aren't well ventilated, and the fact that Mac's couldn't support my extreme multitasking (aka keeping more than 3 apps open at once) :P | 16:31 |
| tehbaut | so now I just is it for iPhone dev, Mrokii | 16:32 |
| kaddi | IndyGunFreak: maybe he told you 3 weeks ago and you don't remember? :p | 16:32 |
| zouhair | n8tuser: nah it's not as good as fillcd, when I have a lot of folders to burn, I jsut ask him to create me a new one and put the exact amount of folders to fit a DVD | 16:32 |
| IndyGunFreak | kaddi: user malfunction | 16:32 |
| zouhair | hard to do by hand | 16:32 |
| IndyGunFreak | just never heard a windows user forget what version of windows they are using | 16:32 |

| brynjarh | are there any noticeable changes between "installing Ubuntu 9.10 Beta and upgrading to Ubuntu 9.10 when available" and "just installing Ubuntu 9.10 when available" | 16:33 |
| brynjarh | *differences | 16:34 |
| Pulsewidth | I tried to apt-get a package that was already installed and now it is set to "manually installed", how can I undo this? | 16:34 |
| tehbaut | Mrokii: well it does certainly have some great things about it.... spotlight is high on that list for me | 16:34 |
| fission6 | Mrokii: http://webupd8.blogspot.com/2009/05/install-openoffice-31-in-ubuntu-jaunty.html does that look legit | 16:34 |
| tehbaut | windows search blows | 16:34 |
| tehbaut | haven't searched enough in ubuntu to decided if it's any good | 16:35 |
| Mrokii | fission6: I will check which repository I used. One moment... | 16:35 |
| Guest75318 | I have a problem with samba : I can't have proper write perms on a share from a ubuntu, whereas from a kubuntu with the same command line the write perms are ok | 16:35 |
| fission6 | cool thanks | 16:35 |
| yoga | How do I find out the version of the motherboard BIOS in command line? | 16:36 |
| Mrokii | tehbaut: Sure, that's what I meant. There are some really great things in OS X. Lots of little tricks that make working with it very nice. Though it certainly isn't perfect. | 16:36 |
| Jake_ | I have sound issues currently with Ubuntu 9.04. Should I wait for Koala to come out before tampering with it? | 16:36 |
| tehbaut | Mrokii: I do wish it were as customizable as win/lin ...but again, mostly with the finder | 16:37 |
| Pulsewidth | Jake_, I'm using Koala and I'm having problems with PulseAudio output in Audacious. OSS output works ok though. | 16:37 |
| === adahendra__ is now known as register | ||
| fission6 | my update seemed to work though now my text for File Edit, etc.. in OO are lime green! did i pull some weird code or can i configure this | 16:37 |
| Jake_ | Pulsewidth: The audio works fine is | 16:37 |
| === register is now known as Guest10580 | ||
| Jake_ | whoops...it's just that the volume control only utilizes like 10% of the bar | 16:37 |
| Jake_ | and the other 90% of the volume control is muted | 16:37 |
| Mrokii | tehbaut: That's the main point why I considered switching to Ubuntu. I got more and more annoyed by the impossibility to extend so many things. Lack of official plugin-APIs and such. | 16:37 |
| Mrokii | fission6: The repository is the one I used as well. Should work. | 16:38 |
| tehbaut | Mrokii: right on | 16:38 |
| fission6 | yep worked fine, just have File, Edit, etc... in OO with limegreen text, trying to c hange that | 16:38 |
| === dniwrom is now known as Morwind | ||
| Mrokii | fission6: I didn't have that when I upgraded. | 16:39 |
| fission6 | maybe it a profile / setting thing somewhere? can i control that | 16:39 |
| tehbaut | I think the look is what draws designers, but as a designer myself, I honestly think everyone has somewhat put the blinders on... but then again I'm a power user so I probably want it to work better and do more than most | 16:39 |
| Morwind | Alright. Fixed my problem by removing compiz and compiz-core. And am now running ubuntu. Is there any replacement for those? | 16:40 |
| Hillshum | Morwind: Metacity? | 16:40 |
| Pulsewidth | Swfdec vs. Gnash, which is better? | 16:40 |
| Mrokii | tehbaut: That's the problem. As power user you want to have more control over configuration, wich Apple simply doesn't allow. | 16:40 |
| Morwind | Metacity? Hm. I will look in to it thanks. | 16:41 |
| rizzak | zdorovo | 16:41 |
| tehbaut | which leads to this view I have about OSX ;) | 16:41 |
| tehbaut | I hate windows though too :) | 16:41 |
| Hillshum | Morwind: That's the default window manager GNOME ships with. I'm not completely sure what you're problem is | 16:41 |
| Mrokii | tehbaut: It's Apples' philosophy. Do it our way or don't do it, so to say | 16:41 |
| tehbaut | too many processor politics | 16:41 |
| tehbaut | I have a quad core machine with 8GB ram, and it still tends to eat it all | 16:42 |
| Kalisto | how do I get around having to type dmraid -ay then Ctrl-D in busy box when I try to boot ubunut? im running a nvidia fakeraid | 16:42 |
| Pulsewidth | tehbaut, empty ram is wasted ram | 16:42 |
| tehbaut | Pulsewidth: I'm talking leaks | 16:43 |

| cxo | So i'm running 9.04 64bit, I wanted to upgrade my openoffice, so i downloaded the debs from their site, and ran their ./update script, didnt install, just said "skipping deselected ...." | 16:43 |
| Mrokii | tehbaut: heh, that's another thing I don't get about OS X. It seems to eat a huge amount of ressources. | 16:44 |
| sayed|laptop | So I started my ubuntu box the other day and now my sound doesn't work =] Any ideas? | 16:44 |
| === luis__lopez is now known as luis_lopez | ||
| tehbaut | well, I'm hoping my switch to ubuntu fixes things once and for all :) | 16:44 |
| Mrokii | cxo: Better use a repository to update OpenOffice. Should work like a charm. | 16:44 |
| Hillshum | I'm trying to get my Palm to sync, and I need to figure out what USB device it's on and how to tell that to gnome-pilot. Any help? | 16:44 |
| rizzak | hi gerls | 16:44 |
| cxo | Mrokii, how does that work? | 16:44 |
| Mrokii | tehbaut: Heh, I wouldn't count on it. I already re-installed Ubuntu once because of unsolveable problems. | 16:45 |
| rizzak | how hide servis messages | 16:45 |
| Mrokii | cxo: Look here: http://webupd8.blogspot.com/2009/05/install-openoffice-31-in-ubuntu-jaunty.html | 16:45 |
| tehbaut | Mrokii: what's that? | 16:45 |
| tehbaut | what was the problem* | 16:45 |
| Mrokii | cxo: And if you don't know how to do that, ask again and I will explain more thoroughly in private chat. | 16:46 |
| fission6 | Mrokii: this is what is what i am left with after upgrading, http://imagebin.ca/view/C3T9kW.html (screen shot) | 16:46 |
| Mrokii | tehbaut: I used a lot of repositories to update to beta- and what-not-versions and Ubuntu became very unstable, so to say. So now I only used repos that give stable-versions and all went fine until one or two days ago. | 16:47 |

| vigo | Guest86986: Ahlee was very correct, but it may just be an Analog Output got changed during the install of the other package, which is why I am such a believer in Backups. | 19:02 |
| Guest86986 | vigo i did this once before (and got it working again, didnt realize it was the modem driver) and i think a kernel update fixed it.. any way to reload all kernel modules? | 19:02 |

| purpzey | Can someone help me trouble shoot my Gnome-power-manager. The tray icon says I am hooked up to AC power and there is no battery present, but my battery is there and present, is it possible my battery is not working properly or is it a problem with Ubuntu? | 19:04 |
| vigo | Guest86986: There are a few ways, update/upgrade may be the best but I would have to locate the command to load older kernels. | 19:04 |

| ilowe | leissi: As I mentioned above, just "apt-get remove linux-image-2.26.27-whatever" and the grub entries will get cleaned up; you shouldn't modify that file by hand (especially not to just remove extra kernels) | 19:07 |
| leissi | ilowe, are you sure? | 19:07 |
| ilowe | leissi: about the cleaning? yup. | 19:08 |
| dury | is it possible to install chrome in Ubuntu | 19:08 |
| dury | I mean chrome browser | 19:08 |
| ilowe | leissi: you only need to hack the file if you want to change the boot priority of your windoze partition | 19:08 |
| Ahlee | Mucking inside grub.conf is not for the faint of heart | 19:08 |
| markl_ | is there a way to let apt-get download more than one file at a time from the same source? | 19:08 |
| Guest86986 | dury dev version yes other then that via wine | 19:08 |
| leissi | ilowe, well I'd rather have it boot to windows by default | 19:09 |
| ilowe | dury: look for "chromium"; I think there's a package out there, but I think it's only in Karmic. Look for the PPA on launchpad. | 19:09 |
| Ruadh | Hi. I want to add a second monitor to my PC. I use Ubuntu 9.04. Can anyone tell me how I should go about adding and a second monitor? | 19:09 |
| Ahlee | markl_: apt is single threaded AFAIK | 19:09 |
| leissi | can I just move the windows part above the ubuntu part and it'll work? | 19:09 |
| markl_ | Ahlee: if it grabs files from different sources it seems to do more than one at a time | 19:09 |
| Ahlee | leissi: That's a loaded question. | 19:09 |
| ilowe | leissi: yup; it shouldn't even cause problems when you install the next kernel | 19:09 |
| markl_ | Ahlee: but from the same source i want it to do up to 4 files | 19:10 |
| leissi | it's loaded with CURIOSITY and DOUBT | 19:10 |
| leissi | watch out | 19:10 |
| losha | markl_: don't think so. Trying to max out your bandwidth? | 19:10 |
| Ahlee | markl_: *shrug* any reason other than impatience? | 19:10 |
| ubuntu | night guys | 19:10 |
| markl_ | Ahlee: nope | 19:11 |
| markl_ | losha: yep | 19:11 |
| ubuntu | anyone could give me via pastebin the contents of the net.lo file? | 19:11 |
| ilowe | leissi: you can move the Windows load blocks but they need to be before the *whole* automagic block | 19:11 |
| ubuntu | i deleted it :( | 19:11 |
| dury | Guest86986: dev version how is that? | 19:11 |
| Ahlee | leissi: we don't know your hardware setup. Given the multiple grub devices it looks like you have at least 2 drives, with at least two partitions per drive. Asking us to guess which one you want is a loaded question | 19:11 |
| ilowe | leissi: Also, you seem to have 3 extra OSes installed? | 19:11 |
| ubuntu | /etc/init.d/net.lo file please | 19:11 |
| leissi | ilowe, remnants from old installs | 19:11 |
| ilowe | leissi: what Ahlee said | 19:11 |
| leissi | there's only ubuntu and windows 7 here | 19:11 |
| ilowe | leissi: creepy... | 19:11 |
| ilowe | leissi: we can give you the principles, but as Ahlee says, it | 19:12 |
| ilowe | leissi: it's hard to guess which piece is which | 19:12 |
| ubuntu | please, .. I need the contents of the /etc/init.d/net.lo file:... | 19:12 |
| === Chiliblue_ is now known as Chiliblue | ||
| Ahlee | leissi: well, I'll give you what your asking for, but bear in mind I wouldn't do this if you're unfamiliar, and definitely make sure you have a boot CD present and backups of the current /boot/grub/menu.lst before proceeding | 19:12 |
| ilowe | leissi: you can grab everything in http://paste.ubuntu.com/287999/ that is after line 162 and put it at line 51 | 19:13 |
| losha | markl_: update manager often *looks* like it downloads multiple debs at once. I wonder if synaptic will do it for you too. You'll have to read the manual to find out I guess... | 19:13 |
| leissi | thank you ilowe | 19:13 |
| Nilbud | Quick question. What file is it I change to have Ubuntu boot without a GUI? | 19:13 |
| panfist | i'm in a screen session. can i grep stuff that was previously printed to stdout? | 19:13 |
| leissi | the easy answer :) | 19:13 |
| ilowe | leissi: in addition to backups (see Ahlee's answer), you should prepare a livecd or something to make sure you can actually boot | 19:13 |
| leissi | also actually I have 2 hdd's of which one is partitioned, the other isn't :P | 19:13 |
| Ahlee | fair enough | 19:14 |
| leissi | I got my livecd right here | 19:14 |
| ilowe | Ahlee: if it breaks s/he keeps the pieces :) | 19:14 |
| leissi | I'm not gonna go fiddle with grub without it | 19:14 |

| rhollander | hello | 19:15 |
| rhollander | =D | 19:15 |
| losha | panfist: not really. Unless you scroll back, cut&paste into a file and then grep the file, Or some terminal progs will let you save everything to a file that you can grep through. The ones I've seen need you to turn on logging *bfore* you generate output though... | 19:16 |

| addisonj_ | hmmm... so trying to rsync files FROM a linux box to a Win Machine, how would one best go about that, and it should just be a one time job | 19:19 |
| ikonia | Ahlee: with things like lvm I believe it can as that's not a real resize, not partitions while it's mounted though | 19:19 |

| jason_froebe | addisonj_ - for a one time job, just share a dir out on windows and use smbclient to copy the files | 19:20 |
| iPwned | can u guys see this | 19:20 |
| ikonia | iPwned: yes | 19:20 |
| Ahlee | eh, filesystem resize is agnostic to what's providing the underlying partition | 19:20 |
| jason_froebe | iPwned - nope, not at all ;-) | 19:20 |
| iPwned | nice iPhone app works | 19:20 |
| KEBA | is there a rss feed for the most popular brainstorm ideas? | 19:21 |
| Leissi | there | 19:21 |
| losha | addisonj_: do you have a version of rsync installed on the windows box (I didn't know this was possible). Can't do it without. I agree with jason_froebe. Use smb... | 19:21 |
| iPwned | now to get it approved | 19:21 |
| Leissi | grub works like I want it to now | 19:21 |
| Leissi | thanks for the assistance | 19:21 |
| ikonia | Ahlee: I guess it depends on the definition of "online", things like vxfs can do online/mounted file systems, ext$ can't of course do that, | 19:21 |
| Dougal_ | i've exceeded my maximum number of tries to login with root password, what does this mean? When or how can I keep trying, or will i need to reset it? I do have superuser ability on another account, but I'd like to know my own root password. | 19:21 |
| iPwned | how to install iTunes in ubuntu ? | 19:21 |
| ikonia | iPwned: you don't, it's a windows/mac app, you'd have to use wine | 19:21 |

| Leissi | iPwned, why would you want to install itunes in the first place | 19:21 |
| Falchion | that's a secret | 19:22 |
| iPwned | but it is wine compatable | 19:22 |
| ikonia | Dougal_: the root account is locked | 19:22 |
| jason_froebe | iPwned - you can use wine or crossoffice | 19:22 |
| cobra-the-joker | hey there guys ....does moblin use Sugar DE | 19:22 |
| ikonia | Dougal_: you don't login directly as root, use a non-privileged account and sudo | 19:22 |
| Ahlee | Dougal_: fromt eh other acount, sudo -s, then change your password with passwd | 19:22 |
| kassah | is there a way to add sender identities to Evolution | 19:23 |
| Dougal_ | ikonia: you *can* log in directly as root, if you want to there's a setting that allows it. I don't usually, but i'd like to know that I *could* | 19:23 |
| ikonia | Dougal_: no there isn't, you'd have to unlock the account | 19:23 |
| Dougal_ | Ahlee: thanks. Is the passwd program self-explanitory? | 19:23 |
| Ahlee | ikonia: I believe he's referring to logging into gnome via root? | 19:23 |
| ikonia | Dougal_: if you don't know how to set a password, you shouldn't be logging in as root - you need a basic level of understanding | 19:24 |
| Dougal_ | Ahlee: no, just in a terminal/screen etc | 19:24 |
| jason_froebe | Dougal_ - man passwd | 19:24 |

| Ahlee | jason_froebe: up to a point. Breaking things to the point where it's faster to fix them than it is to reinstall is | 19:25 |
| Dougal_ | Ahlee: unless of course i don't care about the machine and don't mind a reinstall. | 19:26 |
| addisonj_ | eh, i take the more cautious approach of learning all I can and making sure I have everything right, look before you leap, but then again, most of the linux stuff I do is at work... so :P | 19:26 |
| vigo | Is also a good learning curve that. | 19:26 |
| addisonj_ | well, logging in as root is just bad practice | 19:26 |

| Ahlee | I agree with monster_. :) | 19:27 |
| monster_ | sudo su my friends | 19:27 |
| Dougal_ | addisonj_: if you're at work, I'd agree. I'd only ever be this reckless with a computer that i didn't mind completely trashing. | 19:27 |
| monster_ | feel the power | 19:27 |
| ikonia | guys - it's his box, he has been warned, let him be | 19:27 |
| ikonia | monster_: enough please | 19:27 |
| addisonj_ | Dougal_, I am just saying, don't make logging in as root common practice, that teaches bad linux habits | 19:27 |
| monster_ | =/ | 19:28 |
| addisonj_ | for the future, when you do know what you are doing, but anyways, on to more important things... | 19:28 |
| Dougal_ | addisonj_: I agree completely. I haven't done it since i set up the password in the first place (hence forgetting the password) | 19:28 |

| jmadrid | Hello All! I'm trying to solve something with my Xubuntu and I'm like a baby when it comes to Linux & command line. After having some issues and solving them in the forums about my GeForce4 420 Go, I have this other issue that had been hard to find info on: | 19:30 |
| monster_ | its hillarious though | 19:30 |
| Ahlee | alright last shot. Local user accounts can't change their passwords, I believe the issue's in pam somewhere. When I issue passwd as a non-privileged user, it prompts for the current password twice, then reports passwd: Authentication failure and passwd: password unchanged but is, in fact, changing the password. http://paste.ubuntu.com/287977/ | 19:30 |
| jmadrid | The card defaults to the VGA connector and not it's LCD when it starts up. | 19:30 |
| ikonia | monster_: it's pointless, he's left, this isn't a joke channel. | 19:30 |
| jmadrid | Any guidance on the subject, please? | 19:30 |
| Strife89 | I'm trying to find a quick way to print the number of pages in numerous PDFs. file and stat won't spill. Any advice? | 19:31 |
| ikonia | Ahlee: this looks interesting | 19:31 |
| jason_froebe | jmadrid - to use the dvi connector, you need to use the NVidia drivers - (System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers) | 19:31 |
| Fffars | hello everybody | 19:31 |
| rhollander | ive got some problems with my Skype. it will not detect my audio device correctly. but i do get my logon and shutdown sound. even kopete sounds. what can i do? | 19:32 |

| jason_froebe | jmadrid - the opensource doesn't seem to like the dvi connector on any of my nvidia cards | 19:32 |
| jmadrid | Hello Jason_froebe. Thank you very much! Thing is, this is a laptop. When powered on, the laptop screen remains black after Xubunto boot logo. | 19:32 |
| bucky | Ahlee, it won't let me change my passwd as user because that would effectively change the sudo passwd | 19:32 |
| bucky | maybe that's why | 19:32 |
| YGxxx | anyone here uses Colloquy ? | 19:32 |
| Fffars | i have a bug | 19:32 |
| jason_froebe | rhollander - for skype - download skype from skype.com, install it, then choose pulse for all audio devices | 19:32 |
| jmadrid | Then, when I connect an external monitor to the laptop, everything is there... so I go to the nVidia control panel, and " enable" the LCD. | 19:32 |
| jason_froebe | it'll work then | 19:32 |
| Fffars | with ubuntu 9.10 beta | 19:32 |
| Pici | Fffars : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Karmic/9.10 support/discussion. | 19:33 |
| jmadrid | So there is an official nVidia driver for my card?!! | 19:33 |
| Berzerker- | nvidia.com | 19:33 |
| Kingsy101 | can someone help me, I have just inserted a belkin wireless network card into my ubuntu PC and I cant get it to work .. I am still using a wire atm | 19:33 |
| jmadrid | That's good news! | 19:33 |
| ikonia | jmadrid: look in system->administration->hardware drivers, it should offer some | 19:33 |
| bucky | Ahlee, sudo passwd jalons | 19:33 |
| ikonia | jmadrid: don't go to nvidia.com for drivers | 19:33 |
| nh2 | I accidentally changed a bunch of permissions in /var/log. How can I find out which permissions the directories should have? | 19:33 |
| Ahlee | bucky: this is affecting users without sudo privs | 19:34 |
| jason_froebe | jmadrid - yes.. you need to start nvidia-settings as root (sudo nvidia-settings) make the laptop screen the primary screen and save the xorg.conf file to /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 19:34 |
| ikonia | nh2: look at the linux fhs file system, that should give you an idea, or get the infro from someone elses system | 19:34 |
| Kingsy101 | when I booted up it said that it found new drivers, the driver it found was a Broadcom b43 wireless but when I try to install that it just stays on 0% | 19:34 |
| Kingsy101 | does nothing | 19:34 |
| blendmaster1024 | is it possible to write to hfs+ volumes from ubuntu? | 19:34 |
| Kingsy101 | can someone help me get this installed/working | 19:34 |
| bucky | Ahlee, it's prolly default behavior | 19:34 |
| Ahlee | bucky: no, it isn't. | 19:35 |
| blendmaster1024 | Kingsy101: it's unlikely that it's possible, wifi is a bit of a black are from linux, at least for that line of cards | 19:35 |
| ikonia | Ahlee: it's not default behaviour | 19:35 |
| bucky | Ahlee, then change it | 19:35 |
| Ahlee | blendmaster1024: hfsplus is the file system type | 19:35 |
| jmadrid | Well... nVidia driver version 96 is enabled. But it still has issues. I mean, it all works fine... but I must connect an external monitor and enable the LCD of the laptop by using that external monitor. Would there be a way to make the LCD the default and not the VGA plug? | 19:35 |
| bucky | ikonia, change your password as user | 19:35 |
| blendmaster1024 | Ahlee: yes, can i remount rw? | 19:35 |
| Ahlee | ikonia: I'm sorry? | 19:35 |
| Kingsy101 | blendmaster1024 - huh? its not possible to get it working? | 19:35 |
| Kingsy101 | impossible? | 19:35 |
| blendmaster1024 | because i tried to and it didn't work | 19:35 |
| Ahlee | blendmaster1024: afaik yes | 19:35 |
| hendrixski | I just created a softlink to some files on my directory, now how can i grant access to others to use it as well> | 19:35 |

| blendmaster1024 | Kingsy101: or ver very very hard | 19:35 |
| bucky | ikonia, change your password as user | 19:35 |
| Kingsy101 | eh? | 19:36 |
| nh2 | ikonia: isn't that information somewhere in apt? because during installation, it makes the dirs usable by the equivalent users, eg. /var/log/news news:news | 19:36 |
| ikonia | bucky: what about it | 19:36 |
| jmadrid | Thanks jason_froebe! Let's see how it goes. | 19:36 |
| bucky | ikonia, change your password as user | 19:36 |
| ikonia | nh2: no, it's part of the package | 19:36 |
| Kingsy101 | isnt that stupid that you cant even use a belkin card on ubuntu? | 19:36 |

| iceroot | hendrixski: 777 is never save | 19:39 |
| llutz | hendrixski: chown 777 is never a good idea | 19:39 |
| Ahlee | llutz is correct, both to the group and 777 | 19:39 |
| hendrixski | good thing I asked about the 777 | 19:40 |
| llutz | Ahlee: NOT 777 | 19:40 |
| hendrixski | so chmod g+rw will let other users edit it in a safe way | 19:40 |

| whartung | can someone give me a pointer on how I would go about installing postgres 7.4 on a Ubuntu 8.10 system? | 19:41 |
| hendrixski | Ahlee, llutz, iceroot thanks :-D | 19:41 |
| f00f | sorry baout that | 19:42 |
| f00f | i thought i only pasted the first line | 19:42 |
| jiffe | is there a way to ignore file conflicts between packages w/ apt-get install? | 19:42 |
| joeb3_ | f00f, you running openvpn? | 19:42 |
| Ahlee | ipv6 tunnel mayhaps? | 19:42 |
| f00f | joeb3_: yes... but i since uninstalled it... that is creating instances in my iptables and godd knows what else... i want my server to just work not keep me from accessing the outside network | 19:42 |
| jason_froebe | whartung - you can just install the individual .deb files from http://www.postgresql.org/download/linux | 19:43 |
| Ahlee | f00f: check /etc/network/interfaces - is it defined there? | 19:43 |
| f00f | Ahlee: no it's not defined... thats the problem :p | 19:43 |

I've tried binding the command "sudo Nautilus /" but it doesn't work (I assume because it requires a password). Is there a way to pipe in the password or have it prompt for the password in a fashion similar to when you're add/removing apps? | 19:44 |
| jason_froebe | mkjackson - man gksudo | 19:45 |
| joeb3_ | mkjackson, gksu nautilus | 19:45 |
| jmadrid | Allright. It appears that it worked. Haven't restarted yet but, the sudo thing poped up the GUI. | 19:46 |
| jmadrid | I'll try it again just in case.. | 19:46 |
| ori | kjhk | 19:47 |
| Ahlee | my issue is defintely related to pam, restoring stock common-"account|auth|password|session" allows local accounts to change their passwords | 19:47 |
| Curtis_B | ok, i got a noob question - in gnome, whenever there are OS updates, I get prompted automatically. In Ubuntu server, nothing prompts me for updates. What do I need to do to see available updates? | 19:47 |
| hendrixski | llutz, is there already a group that all users would be a part of? | 19:47 |
| jason_froebe | Ahlee - pam can be extremely painful to get right | 19:47 |
| hendrixski | or should Ic reate a new one for these people who will need to edit this file? | 19:48 |
| Ahlee | jason_froebe: you're telling me, especially with 6.06, 7.10, and 8.04 instances present | 19:48 |
| jmadrid | OK. Restarting now. Please cross your fingers! Thanks again jason_froebe! :D | 19:48 |
| jason_froebe | Curtis_B - sudo aptitude update <-- after updating, it'll tell you the number of packages available for upgrading | 19:48 |
| Bilge | Can lilo actually boot Ubuntu kernel images? | 19:48 |
| jason_froebe | Bilge - yes | 19:49 |
| Ahlee | hendrixski: by default everybody gets created with their own UID and GID IIRC, your probably going to want to create your own group and add those members you want accessing the file to taht group | 19:49 |
| Zachk18 | Curtis_B, or you can use sudo apt-get update which is better | 19:49 |
| ilowe | Curtis_B: you may be looking for something like "unattended-upgrades" | 19:49 |
| dragon | !gpl | 19:49 |
| ubottu | gpl is the GNU General Public License. See http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html | 19:49 |
| ilowe | Curtis_B: you can customize it so that it auto-updates stuff other than security updates | 19:49 |
| hendrixski | Ahlee, I see, I'll create a group then | 19:49 |
| dragon | What is Ubuntu's relationship with the GPL? | 19:49 |
| jason_froebe | ilowe - for servers, automatic upgrades can be tricky but ymmv | 19:49 |
| Zachk18 | #ubuntu-beginners-help is there for all your noobetry questions | 19:50 |
| Curtis_B | jason_froebe, Zach18, ilowe, all good information - thank you! | 19:50 |
| jason_froebe | dragon - they're in love ;-) | 19:50 |
| Bilge | jason_froebe: I don't know what I'm doing wrong then because it's not booting for me but I can't see anything because I'm rebooting remotely | 19:50 |
| dragon | jason_froebe: haha nice | 19:50 |
| ilowe | jason_froebe: absolutely... but it's the closest thing to automatic behaviour of the update-manager in X (that I know of) | 19:50 |
| jason_froebe | Bilge, ubuntu by default uses grub.. any particular reason why you want to use lilo? | 19:50 |
| Bilge | Not with my provider | 19:51 |
| kopos | quit | 19:51 |
| Bilge | They have set it up to use lilo and grub is not installed | 19:51 |
| Bilge | And they have also compiled their own kernel | 19:51 |
| === u-fooka is now known as u-foka | ||
| Bilge | So I installed linux-image-server to get the stock Ubuntu kernel and now I am trying to make lilo boot it, but it won't | 19:51 |

| Bilge | I don't know what I'm missing | 19:52 |
| jason_froebe | Bilge - take a look at http://www.control-escape.com/linux/lilo-cfg.html | 19:52 |

| ptiloup | lut tou le monde | 19:52 |
| ilowe | Bilge: do you have access to the disk or are you in a VM? | 19:53 |
| dragon | Gnea: there is a GUI tool for doing that, so I'm still wondering. | 19:53 |
| Bilge | I've read the man page for lilo.conf | 19:53 |
| ptiloup | hello every body | 19:53 |
| Bilge | It's a dedicated server and I have full disk access yes | 19:53 |
| Gnea | dragon: sources.list gets modified no matter what. no way to avoid it. | 19:53 |
| jason_froebe | Bilge - every time you make a change to the lilo.conf file, you need to build the lilo boot image. "lilo" iirc | 19:53 |

| jason_froebe | nightcrow - sudo aptitude search <something> | 19:54 |
| llutz | jason_froebe: no need for sudo | 19:54 |

| fsufitch | ubox: it's not telling me that the package isn't found, rather it finds the package, but gets a 404 when it tries to grab it | 20:33 |
| nutterpc | fsufitch, try the mirror you are using, it normally indicates a 404 error that the mirror in question may/may not have it | 20:33 |
| joaopinto | netbook, wpa_supplicant is not related to /etc/network/interfaces, you can use wpa_supplicant on Ubuntu | 20:33 |

| Slart | ubox: I haven't done any special configuring and as far as I can tell it finds stuff in lots of top domains | 20:34 |
| ubox | fsufitch: perhaps a firewall issue? | 20:34 |

| ubox | fsufitch: that is strange, maybe the particular server is temporarily down. you could try to compile from source | 20:35 |

| CMoH | Hello. I want to install an Ubuntu server tomorrow for an enterprise. However, I have looked up the download page there and it seems the newest version, 9.04, is supported until 2010, while the older one, 8.04, is until 2013. Which one should I choose tomorrow? | 20:37 |
| === ToGa is now known as Guest32353 | ||
| fccf | !lts | CMoH | 20:38 |
| ubottu | CMoH: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Hardy (Hardy Heron 8.04). The next LTS release is scheduled to be 10.04 | 20:38 |
| balint | but for some reason the auth file (/etc/X99.cfg) gets overridden by a default one, /tmp/serverauth.HAsrPy9378 | 20:38 |
| CMoH | thank you, ubottu | 20:38 |
| CMoH | thank you fccf actually | 20:38 |
| CMoH | :D | 20:38 |
| fccf | CMoH: Use the LTS | 20:38 |
| balint | so the actual process that is running is xinit /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc -- /usr/bin/Xvfb :1 -screen 0 1024x768x24 -auth /tmp/serverauth.HAsrPy9378 | 20:38 |
| balint | do you know why and what can I do about it? | 20:38 |
| ubox | slart: hmm, apt say's i'm on the newest version | 20:39 |
| CMoH | fccf, am i to expect i will be able to easily upgrade from 8.04 to 10.04? (I am not primarily an ubuntu user, so I'm not familiar with your policies) | 20:39 |
| iceroot | CMoH: yes, because both are lts | 20:40 |

| Chiselhuk_Plus1 | Good evening all.....Forgive me for using "bad language" but can anyone point me in the direction of I.E for Linux? I had it installed b4, but never use it 'cos I love Firefox....but am having trouble with a site 'n have been told to use I.E.! :( | 21:02 |
| eguesttest | have aquick question | 21:02 |
| Slart | gartral: "nope"? | 21:03 |
| nutterpc | Chiselhuk_Plus1, install wine, run thru that | 21:03 |
| lstarnes | Chiselhuk_Plus1: you could fake the user agent string in firefox so that sites think that you have IE | 21:03 |
| lstarnes | Chiselhuk_Plus1: also, look up ies4linux | 21:03 |
| switch10__ | nutterpc: it corrupts at every res ive tried | 21:03 |
| eguesttest | how do you set the order in which aptitude gets the list of packages | 21:03 |
| Pici | !ies4linux | Chiselhuk_Plus1 | 21:03 |
| ubottu | Chiselhuk_Plus1: ies4linux is a script that quickly and effortlessly helps you install 3 versions of IE in Wine.

| guntbert | legendre: do you mean like "fast user switching"? | 21:13 |
| monster_ | debtorrent sounds awesome | 21:13 |
| legendre | guntbert: yes, perhaps | 21:13 |
| stinky_ | Jihui: , yea, try xchat or pidgin... irssi is really not verry user friendly | 21:13 |
| aaronorosen | legendre: you can use su and change to each user... ? | 21:14 |
| legendre | it worked great in earlier versions.. | 21:14 |
| stinky_ | Iuse irssi, but only because of its low memory footprint | 21:14 |

| dragon | !terminal | FiLtHySLoB | 21:15 |
| ubottu | FiLtHySLoB: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 21:15 |

| Jihui | So I connect this erver through my external server | 21:15 |

| legendre | I know how to use it.. I just can't figure out where the 'new login' option went, | 21:18 |
| guntbert | legendre: there is a "fast user switch applet" to add to your panel, but at the moment I don't know the package name | 21:18 |
| legendre | in jaunty, that is.. | 21:18 |
| xQuasar | Is the only way to run mysql-client by commandline? | 21:19 |
| dragon | legendre: you mean, `useradd`? | 21:19 |
| legendre | guntbert: that's the other odd thing. If I lock the session, the password prompt has a 'switch user' button, but it does nothing. | 21:19 |
| legendre | dragon: no, definitely not. | 21:19 |
| dragon | legendre: are you trying to keep the current session running and start another, as a different user? | 21:20 |
| ikonia | xQuasar: look at mysql administrator and mysql-admin | 21:20 |
| legendre | seriously, there is some app, can't recall the name that does: starts new xserver on next display, switches to that display, and runs the login manager. | 21:20 |
| legendre | dragon: yes! | 21:20 |

| legendre | hwilde: sure, that is used to switch between sessions.. IF you can start them | 21:21 |
| lstarnes | .21 | 21:22 |
| legendre | guntbert: so you say there's a panel applet for it.. let me look (this is xubuntu, btw) | 21:22 |
| lstarnes | oops. | 21:22 |
| dragon | legendre: If you have user switcher applet, it's called "Switch User". If you go to "System > Log out" otherwise, you'll see a switch user option. | 21:22 |
| legendre | guntbert: ok, I already have it.. lol. But it doesn't start a new session.. | 21:22 |

| dwarder | jrib: is it command, i don't have sysv-rc-conf binary? | 21:29 |
| jrib | dwarder: install it | 21:29 |
| stylist | killing the X process, just means Xorg automatically restards:( | 21:29 |
| legendre | Ok, I just did it.. manually. So I know I don't need any nested X stuff | 21:29 |
| heater | stylist: i would be careful with the nvidia driver, i have had to do a couple reinstalls because it messed up | 21:29 |

| guntbert | nightcrow: in the meantime you could have read The Complete Chapter 7 of the server guide - and followed it :-) | 21:31 |

| jbwiv | hello all. So I just ran an upgrade via apt-get to upgrade to Koala, but on boot I get a grub error: "Error 15: not found". I'm betting this is because I use LVM + Software Raid (although upgrade has worked in the past). Any ideas what I can do or do I simply have to download the alternative cd and install manually? | 21:32 |
| heater | bastid_raZor: can you help with an audio issue? http://paste.ubuntu.com/288088/ | 21:32 |
| jrib | jbwiv: #ubuntu+1 for karmic support | 21:32 |
| jbwiv | jrib: ok, thanks | 21:33 |
| ctmjr | KKSlider: yep you should tell him to upgrade to 8.04 | 21:33 |
| aayush | hi all my ubuntu had grub which was showing sm problems for other os so i had configured lilo how can i can switch back to grub now plz i m new | 21:33 |

| RajKhN | hi, I'm a noob ^^: I am using ubuntu mounted with a VirtualBox, and I set the shared folder in VB, but now, how do I access it on ubuntu? | 21:33 |
| Doc_Lappy | and0r that wasp was meant for you sorry I was doing something else and got distracted, I don't use openoffice but most all programmes you can change the them back IF there is more than one theme available for it | 21:33 |
| and0r | I cant find any "default" button in OpenOffice, I'll keep looking tho | 21:34 |
| KKSlider | right thanks for that ctmjr. will that have to totally wipe over the current install? | 21:34 |
| nightcrow | guntbert: link me please :) | 21:34 |
| heater | bastid_raZor: trying to "test" the sound, as well as open volume control | 21:34 |
| guntbert | nightcrow: did you see https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/index.html ? | 21:34 |
| heater | bastid_raZor: sound used to work perfectly fine until an update i believe | 21:34 |
| dwarder | jrib: sorry i don't get it, what is better update-rc.d or sysv-rc-conf? | 21:34 |
| nightcrow | guntbert: nope - but now i have | 21:34 |
| nightcrow | :) | 21:34 |
| Doc_Lappy | and0r there may not be I just wanted to make sure you weren't mistaking the obvious that's usualy what I find it's the things over looked instead of something hard, good luck | 21:35 |
| ctmjr | KKSlider: no just run sudo update manager -d and it should upgrade to next release | 21:35 |
| guntbert | and0r: there is a channel #openoffice.org too | 21:35 |
| aayush | hi all my ubuntu had grub which was showing sm problems for other os so i had configured lilo how can i can switch back to grub now plz i m new | 21:35 |
| KKSlider | thankyou very much for your help ctmjr. | 21:35 |
| jrib | dwarder: update-rc.d's man page explains users should use sysv-rc-conf | 21:35 |
| dwarder | jrib: thank you | 21:35 |
| guntbert | nightcrow: I sent that right after your first question | 21:35 |
| and0r | but Im not sure if this is something the OpenOffice channel can help with, since the colors were changed by a script the maker of the GTK theme made. | 21:35 |
| heater | bastid_raZor: many forums said to add myself to the "audio" group....that has not worked still same problems after restart | 21:35 |
| ctmjr | KKSlider: your welcome and it is sudo update-manager -d sorry | 21:36 |

It will not ask for a password for sudo commands | 22:21 |

However, when I try to select a camera, none appear in the dropdown, and i get "CVideoDevice::CVideoDevice() could not query capabilities; is this really a video device?" in the debug. any ideas? i've heard that older applications rely on drivers doing decoding, but newer drivers don't but i don't know of any way round this | 22:23 |
| monster_ | brandonc503_: start with swap and set it to same size as ram | 22:23 |
| addisonj_ | hm | 22:23 |
| mdke | are there any security implications of using my ssh or gnupg keys from an Ubuntu persistent live cd? | 22:23 |
| altf2o | brandonc503 - if you're unsure, you can just have it do everything for you. If it's going onto it's own disk, just have it use the entire thing. | 22:23 |
| monster_ | brandonc503_: then first partition set it to ext3 or 4 mount point / | 22:23 |
| monster_ | brandonc503_: then the rest for ext3 or 4 and do /home for mount point | 22:24 |
| brandonc503_ | thanx much | 22:24 |
| fccf | emorris: have you tried running camstream as gksudo .. perhaps there is a permissions thing when trying to access the camera | 22:24 |

| emorris | fccf: no worries, thanks for the tip; i hadn't thought of trying that | 22:27 |

| afallenhope | Anyone here able to help or am I wasting my breath? As in should I come back later? f00fSteR join #vpn | 22:28 |
| [manas] | i got one question, im thinking to move on other hard disk (bigger one) it 300gb i was thinking to give for windows partiocion 80gb and rest for ubuntu but i dont know swap space should i give???? | 22:28 |
| monster_ | TUN devices provide routing mode and start a virtual point-to-point connection; TAP devices provide bridging mode and start a virtual network segment. The parameter ifconfig needs the two tunnel IPs when we are using tun devices, and the local IP along with netmask, when we are using tap devices. | 22:28 |
| chris| | f00fSteR, TUN is a layer 3 tunnel, tap is a layer 2 virual network interface | 22:28 |
| altf2o | what happened to your desktop? What happens when you try to restart GDM? | 22:28 |
| afallenhope | I was on my laptop, it shutoff on me, and then when it rebooted fsck exited with status 4 and told me to fix it . So I did that rebooted with a black screen and only a cursor. | 22:29 |

| monster_ | brandonc503_: "ext3" ? | 22:30 |
| jrib | blackjak: what were you expecting? | 22:30 |
| altf2o | [manas]: usual rule of thumb is give swap 1.5x the amount of RAM. Although from 2GB RAM and above, i just match it. So i currently have a 2GB swap file, which is probably much more than i'd need. | 22:30 |
| blackjak | to see the creation dates of the files and folders | 22:30 |
| fccf | aayush: try rootnoverify (hd0,4) ... just because it is sda7 doesn't mean it is the seventh partition | 22:30 |
| smokie | hey guys, is there a way to make the whole ubuntu os to use a v5 socks for everything? | 22:31 |
| gartral | how do i determine my system's current submask/ | 22:31 |
| jrib | blackjak: that's impossible as ext does not save that data anywhere | 22:31 |
| smokie | after starting an ssh tunnel in terminal | 22:31 |
| ikonia | gartral: ifconfig shows it | 22:31 |
| altf2o | afallenhope: if you completely reboot, it should try to start X and offer some options such as using default config, or less 'optimized' so you can fix it. Has that come up? | 22:31 |
| blackjak | it is a ntfs | 22:31 |

| [manas] | altf2o, i got 2gb rams too , but some one told me what sawp space need to be big, even when i inatlled ubuntu now by default on 80gb it took around 10gb for swap | 22:33 |
| greensimian | when I reboot it's 1280x1024 | 22:34 |
| fccf | greensimian: have you run nvidia-settings as gksudo ... kinda helps | 22:34 |
| greensimian | Making me a little nutty | 22:34 |
| gartral | ikonia: im well awear it _will_ drop me, at least untill i hve my switch setup | 22:34 |
| ikonia | gartral: ok - so change it then | 22:34 |
| SquirrelMan | ikonia: I fear it has something to do with my NVidia card, actually | 22:34 |
| greensimian | so I was running sudo not gksudo | 22:34 |
| altf2o | afallenhope: i've never personally seen that, but perhaps restoring X may help? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=296736 This may point you in the right direction. | 22:34 |
| gartral | ikonia: HOW | 22:34 |
| ikonia | SquirrelMan: yes, that's a reasonable assumption | 22:34 |
| fccf | !gksudo | greensimian | 22:34 |
| ubottu | greensimian: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 22:34 |
| ikonia | gartral: ifconfig can do it on the command line, but I assume you're using gnome so set it in gnome-network-manager | 22:34 |

| blueglasses | greensimian, try nvidia drivers | 22:34 |
| teehee | why does my usb drive seem full when its not | 22:34 |
| SquirrelMan | ikonia: Is it modprobe that lists running drivers? | 22:34 |
| ikonia | SquirrelMan: correct | 22:35 |
| altf2o | [manas]: oh no, you don't need that at all. With 2GB RAM the most i would do is 3GB swap which is 1.5x your current RAM. You don't need 10GB. | 22:35 |
| greensimian | I'll give it a try :D | 22:35 |
| HeckleJeckle | is there an imaging utility for ubu that allows transfer to machine with different hardware? | 22:35 |
| [manas] | altf2o, how can i check my swap size now? | 22:35 |
| greensimian | blueglasses: I got hte Nvidia drivers installed and they look nice! My Comiz stuff is really fast | 22:35 |
| gartral | ikonia: you assume wrong, i had to remove the gnome network manager.. it was causing severe issues with my nic, i find the dhclient gets me up normally, but i have a bew switch that needs configing | 22:35 |
| ikonia | HeckleJeckle: the hardware platform doesn't matter, the OS it's running does | 22:35 |
| altf2o | [manas]: if you need THAT much RAM for some specific application maybe scientific? You'd be much better off investing in more RAM and 64bit Ubuntu. | 22:35 |
| ikonia | gartral: then you'll have to either use ifconfig or hardcode it in /etc/network/interfaces file | 22:36 |
| teehee | i delete stuff off my usb drive but it still says that its full | 22:36 |
| HeckleJeckle | i need to image a preconfiged os and deploy to various laptops and desktops | 22:36 |
| [manas] | altf2o, i got x86-64bit machine | 22:36 |
| Pdro | (hi) | 22:36 |
| HeckleJeckle | something like acronis with universal restore | 22:36 |
| HeckleJeckle | looking for that for ubuntu | 22:36 |
| ikonia | HeckleJeckle: that's different, you'll need to make sure your image is compatible with the target hardware | 22:36 |
| iramedia_ | hi am david from Venezuela needs help with Freevo 1.8.3 in Ubuntu since I installed it and I want you to be as friendly as possible and handle the program. first as local_conf.py to configure the audio and images in video see several directories on my hard drive and configure the second as part of the zsnes games already and I have also installed roms but I can not open | 22:36 |
| Lucifaneous | Hi! | 22:36 |
| HeckleJeckle | ikonia: what software can I look at? | 22:37 |
| gartral | ikonia: will you please tell me *how* to use ifconfig to set the ip/ | 22:37 |
| [manas] | altf2o, can u tell me how i can check my swap now? | 22:37 |
| Lucifaneous | can one boot ubuntu from usb stick? | 22:37 |
| altf2o | [manas]: usually the easiest way is to run the 'top' program. The 'Swap:' value in the upper left is your swap file size. | 22:37 |
| Lucifaneous | or dvd? | 22:37 |
| TheCheeze | Lucifaneous, yes | 22:37 |
| ikonia | gartral: check out the man page, the syntax is quite straight forward, device/ip/mask | 22:37 |
| Lucifaneous | TheCheeze: ok, just download it | 22:37 |
| fccf | !usb | Lucifaneous (you can also put an ISO on DVD) | 22:37 |

| ikonia | gartral: if you use ifconfig and have dhcp enabled, the next refresh it will overwrite your changes though, just be aware | 22:38 |
| [manas] | altf2o, sorry i didnt get u | 22:38 |
| Prune_ | Under the Applications menu, does Add/Remove just add or remove apps from the menu, or does it install them on the computer? | 22:38 |
| altf2o | [manas]: and if you're already running 64bit then you can support more than 3GB so if you need more RAM see what your motherboard supports and upgrade. Honestly for normal use you do NOT need that much RAM. My workstation is an Intel Quad Q6600 w/ 2GB RAM and it's never reached it's limits. | 22:38 |
| donk | Lucifaneous is a fuckin' faggot who hates his life | 22:38 |
| SquirrelMan | ikonia: It loaded drivers I had to blacklist to get the kernel to boot. Could this have been caused by the outage? | 22:38 |
| jrib | Prune_: install | 22:38 |
| Prune_ | I thought adaptic package manager was for installing onto the computer | 22:38 |
| iramedia_ | heyyyyy | 22:38 |
| Prune_ | well how do I just add an installed appp to the menu there? | 22:38 |
| altf2o | [manas]: in a terminal window ("command prompt") type: top , look in the upper left for : Swap: ...... | 22:38 |
| ikonia | SquirrelMan: doubtful, but possible | 22:38 |

| blackjak | I can see the last modified date in the gui just not in the terminal | 22:40 |
| ikonia | SquirrelMan: you're using an nvidia card you say ? | 22:40 |

| Spoot | I use a widescreen notebook and like to use a single taskbar on the right side. However, Window List freezes my panel if i have too many windows open on 1 desktop and the only other alternative is Window Selector which requires 2 clicks to switch between windows. Is there an alternate Window List i can use for a vertical panel? or perhaps a fix for the current one? | 22:40 |
| SquirrelMan | ikonia: Correct. It was a pain to install, and apparently it will be a pain to maintain | 22:40 |
| fccf | unitheory: server or Desktop? | 22:40 |

| oks | jrib, : when i write that command it pops up many files. but dosent add user | 22:40 |
| altf2o | [manas]: should be just fine. | 22:40 |
| jrib | oks: anyway, you should read the manpage for adduser. It seems like you are using syntax for useradd, not adduser | 22:40 |

| SquirrelMan | ikonia: It's actually the reason I'm currently on Ubuntu. | 22:41 |
| afallenhope | altf2o that didn't work. so I have no idea what the issue is. hmmm.. could it be a service that's running that's causing it? or a missing .config file or something? | 22:41 |

| SquirrelMan | ikonia: I downloaded the correct driver package and blacklisted the agpgart and intel drivers that were causing headache on boot | 22:41 |
| gartral | ikonia: ok, so it it safe to ifup eth0 if it's already active ith dhcp? | 22:42 |
| smokie | hey guys, i need to undstand something about ssh tunneling, | 22:42 |
| ikonia | gartral: you don't need to do ifup - just ifconfig | 22:42 |
| ikonia | SquirrelMan: you got the drivers from nvida.com ? | 22:42 |
| fccf | emorris: have you tried passing /dev/video0 to camstream .. like camstream /dev/video0 | 22:42 |
| unitheory | fccf, thanks for the advice | 22:42 |

| drbobb | hello there, some recent update has caused my keyboard to go crazy - the up-arrow key now fires up the print-screen gadget. it's driving me crazy!! | 22:43 |
| gartral | ikonia: this why i asked you if you could tell me how to set it up.. cause i barely uinderstand the developer jargon in the manuals.. | 22:43 |
| ikonia | SquirrelMan: then you've made a mess - ubuntu packages the nvidia drivers for you that are known to be compatible | 22:43 |
| altf2o | afallenhope: hmm, could be. I was hoping restoring would work since it seems you're having issues with the nvidia module specifically. If changing the driver to the original setting didn't work, something else is definitely up. | 22:43 |
| ikonia | gartral: check the man page, it's very straight forward syntax, device/ip/mask | 22:43 |
| SquirrelMan | ikonia: Not a single distribution will boot a liveCD correctly with my card. | 22:43 |
| ikonia | SquirrelMan: did ubuntu ? | 22:43 |
| tehbaut | anyone know how to use xrandr? | 22:43 |
| SquirrelMan | No. | 22:43 |

| Neurolysis | Hi, I just downloaded Ubuntu Notebook Edition for my Acer Aspire One (which the FAQ says it supports), but when I try to run 3D apps natively in Linux I get an error (WINE works emulating 3D games). I just checked my xorg.conf and I see "Configured Video Device" set as the identifier for "Device" -- is this right, or should I change it to 'intel'? If this is right, why can't I get 3D (for example 3D GNU chess) to work natively? Thanks. :) | 22:44 |
| tehbaut | tried xrandr --rotate right | 22:44 |
| bastid_raZor | SquirrelMan: yes, i have the same card on 9.04 working fine. use the older driver offered in hardware drivers. the newer doesn't work | 22:44 |
| ikonia | SquirrelMan: how did you install ubuntu if it didn't detect your card | 22:44 |
| SquirrelMan | ikonia: agpgart is in use, despite being on my blacklist | 22:44 |
| altf2o | using SSH you can "secure FTP" if you're tied to FTP. I would shy away from FTP itself completely however. | 22:44 |
| tehbaut | tried xrandr --rotate=right | 22:44 |
| gartral | ikonia: in context, where does that sytntax apply? | 22:44 |
| ikonia | gartral: that is the syntax for ifconfig, device/ip/mask | 22:45 |
| TheCheeze | i tihnk i had to use driver 94 with my old Geforce4 | 22:45 |
| tehbaut | and --rotate="right" | 22:45 |
| SquirrelMan | ikonia: It did detect my card. The problem was, it also detected my Intel chipset, which can't be disabled in BIOS, only set to low priority | 22:45 |
| fccf | Neurolysis: there is a regression in some Intel cards in Jaunty ... see !intel | 22:45 |
| fccf | !intel | 22:45 |
| 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. | 22:45 |
| blueyed | j #ubuntu-devel | 22:45 |
| ikonia | SquirrelMan: in the hardware drivers tool, did it offer you drivers ? | 22:45 |
| Neurolysis | fccf: thanks, i'll read that | 22:45 |
| [manas] | altf2o, i was thinking samba too but if sometime i need connect not from the network is it still gonna work? | 22:45 |
| Spoot | bastid_raZor: i use a dock at the bottom and my panel to the right | 22:45 |
| SquirrelMan | ikonia: No, if I recall correctly. | 22:45 |
| aayush | fccf : can u please check my problem | 22:45 |
| bastid_raZor | Spoot: shouldn't the dock replace the window list? | 22:46 |
| ikonia | SquirrelMan: and you went into system->administration->hardware drivers ? | 22:46 |
| jake_ | In 9.04 I have an issue with the volume control slider. It has to be at like 85% for be to begin to hear anything and it maxes out at 100%. is there a way to have it so it utilizes the entire volume slider? | 22:46 |
| thiebaude | SquirrelMan, did you let ubuntu search for the drivers? | 22:46 |
| SquirrelMan | haha, it never successfully loaded X. | 22:46 |
| gartral | ikonia: acording to your information, ifconfig eth0/255.255.0.0/196.254.100.99 should work, it doesnt | 22:46 |
| thiebaude | thanks ikonia | 22:46 |
| SquirrelMan | There was no System-> | 22:46 |
| altf2o | [manas]: like connecting from outside your home network? Sure so long as you have your actual Internet IP handy, and if you're behind a router, have forwarded the appropriate Samba ports to your internal server. | 22:46 |
| Spoot | bastid_raZor: i prefer to use the dock as a launcher and nothing more | 22:46 |
| ikonia | gartral: you don't use / | 22:46 |
| ikonia | gartral: I was just using that as a seperator for you - there are examples in the man page | 22:46 |
| gartral | ikonia: YOU TOLD ME TOO | 22:47 |
| gartral | oops, sorry ikonia | 22:47 |
| afallenhope | altf2o the module I'm using is glx... is that normal? | 22:47 |
| SquirrelMan | thiebaude: I did at first, but it failed miserably. | 22:47 |
| oks | How can i addusers? not working | 22:47 |
| ikonia | gartral: no, I was showing you the syntax / is just a seperator | 22:47 |
| fccf | aayush: I think that un-identified partition .. 9G /media/fatnew could be causing you some trouble for one ... and I am not sure you have the correct (0,X) number | 22:47 |
| thiebaude | SquirrelMan, what OS are you using? | 22:47 |
| bastid_raZor | Spoot: right but once launched you should be able to click the icon of the launcher and it bring to focus the application | 22:47 |
| SquirrelMan | thiebaude: Jaunty | 22:47 |
| VCoolio | exit | 22:47 |
| thiebaude | ok | 22:47 |
| WhiteCrow1 | how can i see picture in shell? | 22:47 |
| gartral | ikonia: your using a different man page than me, cause i swear there arent any clear cut examples | 22:47 |
| SquirrelMan | The real problem at hand is that my blacklist is being ignored. | 22:48 |
| altf2o | glx is a module X uses, it should be your "driver" however. The "/etc/X11/xorg.failsafe file lists: Driver "vesa" under the "Configured Video Device" setting. | 22:48 |
| jrib | WhiteCrow1: fbi I guess... | 22:48 |
| SquirrelMan | If I can fix that, it should work again | 22:48 |
| syk | if i dual boot ubuntu and arch linux can i share my /home partition? | 22:48 |
| fccf | oks: sudo adduser username | 22:48 |

| * VCoolio wonders why irssi spawns immediately in ctrl-alt-f1 tty | 22:48 | |

| afallenhope | altf2o yeah I even tried the failsafe.. and that didn't work either | 22:48 |
| Spoot | bastid_raZor: that only applies to the applications i have as launchers, if i have that enabled | 22:48 |
| jrib | oks: I know your command said adduser, but you are not using the correct syntax. Read what I told you last time please... | 22:49 |

| Fragsworth | Where is the terminal settings file? I want to back it up and restore it after I reinstall | 22:50 |
| altf2o | [manas]: essentially yes. It uses a slightly different syntax: \\server\share , so if your server is: 174.12.141.312 , and you're sharing a "Music" folder, typing: \\174.12.141.312\Music , in an address bar will pull it up. | 22:50 |

| altf2o | [manas]: absolutely. I restrict public shares to known individuals or groups and assign a password to it.

| afallenhope | altf2o basically it loads .. but not the desktop itself.. | 22:53 |

| Neurolysis | fccf: whilst trying to do some stuff on that page, i keep on getting an error (doesn't seem to be fatal), "get fences failed: -1" -- any ideas? | 22:54 |
| sebsebseb | stylist: you can look through the repos for stuff, and that's where you should install stuff from really, but sometimes something inn't in the repos. These two sites are good at giving you an idea about the alternatives for Linux. http://www.osalt.com http://www.linuxeq.com also you might be able to Wine the program you want to do and rather well. Plus with enough RAM you can virtual machine Windows inside Ubuntu. | 22:54 |
| stylist | I hope `sudo apt-get install audacity` is the corrrect command to install Audacity on Ubuntu v9.04 sebsebseb | 22:54 |
| SquirrelMan | joaopinto: I'm not doing a manual load. Perhaps the kernel is when it fails to load the resume file? | 22:54 |
| sebsebseb | stylist: yes, but it might not be good enough for what you want to do | 22:54 |
| stylist | seemed to work sebsebseb | 22:55 |

| Mka | MadSeaDog: try "ls /dev/sd*" and/or "ls /dev/hd*" and see if you cannot see anything | 23:27 |

| ubottu | DigitalKiwi,: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 23:27 |
| MadSeaDog | ActionParsnip, allright gonna get there... | 23:27 |
| ActionParsnip | darkenergy: you will need to setup port forwarding or you could use a VPN | 23:27 |
| jmadrid | I still find it complicated... I switched to Xubuntu on this machine because it runs so much better than Windows! I mean, Windows doesn't even crawl here and Xubuntu runs.. | 23:27 |
| jmadrid | But everything | 23:27 |
| jmadrid | is so hard.. | 23:28 |
| DigitalKiwi | unop: meh, not my fault your package manager can't do something as simple/common as that :P | 23:28 |
| unop | DigitalKiwi, and you should read his question again - a little more carefully too | 23:28 |
| max__ | Hi, I downloaded "nautilus-image converter extension", however when I try to flip an image through nautilus it tells me I don't have sufficient privileges. http://pastebin.com/m33fe1307 | 23:28 |
| darkenergy | VPN to where? | 23:28 |
| ActionParsnip | jmadrid: only because its different | 23:28 |
| jmadrid | I guess I'll continue tomorrow. | 23:28 |
| MadSeaDog | Mka, well strange thing there is sda ,sdb, sdc, sdd | 23:28 |
| ActionParsnip | jmadrid: i find windows hard | 23:28 |
| unop | DigitalKiwi, dpkg -l - is obviously not what he wants | 23:28 |
| jmadrid | Well, not reeally. All those commands, sudo, etc... | 23:28 |
| DigitalKiwi | tring to find his question | 23:28 |
| jmadrid | you don't have to deal with all that to install a webcam in Windows. | 23:28 |
| ActionParsnip | jmadrid: it took me an hour to install sound drivers and increase the page file on vista | 23:29 |
| Mka | MadSeaDog: well interrogate sda | 23:29 |
| stylist | i like how ubuntu can sticky any window always on top easily... unlike windows | 23:29 |
| jmadrid | Yeah, but probably reading words. | 23:29 |
| ActionParsnip | jmadrid: all my hardware works 100% out of the box in linux | 23:29 |
| afallenhope | figured out the issue | 23:29 |
| afallenhope | was .pulse | 23:29 |
| jmadrid | I mean, I am an average joe... not a technical user. | 23:29 |
| MadSeaDog | Mka, interrogate^ | 23:29 |
| ActionParsnip | jmadrid: ubuntu is for the average user | 23:29 |
| jester- | hi | 23:29 |
| DigitalKiwi | -e, --explicit list packages explicitly installed [filter] | 23:29 |
| DigitalKiwi | iirc that's what he asked | 23:29 |
| Mka | MadSeaDog: try "sudo cfdisk /dev/sda", press Q to exit | 23:29 |
| jmadrid | Yet my webcam STX doesn' t work | 23:29 |
| jmadrid | and to make it work I have to go into the terminal, which I have to first know, how to work around it.. | 23:30 |
| cgardner | Is it possible to mirror the repository for multiple ubuntu versions? If so, do I just add the repositories to the mirror.list? | 23:30 |
| MadSeaDog | Mka, fatal error cannot open disk drive | 23:30 |
| Mka | MadSeaDog: wow | 23:30 |
| jmadrid | and then read and type words I dont understand.. I mean.. I'm cool with Linux... I just wish it was simpler. | 23:30 |
| ActionParsnip | jmadrid: there are guides online with the commands you need to run | 23:30 |
| gbear14275 | I just got an upgrade notification but 9.10 isn't released until later this month... Is this normal? I did have a 9.10 beta live cd in my tray... is this perhaps what might have prompted the upgrade request? | 23:30 |
| ActionParsnip | jmaif you run: lsusb | 23:31 |
| Mka | MadSeaDog: did you use "sudo"? | 23:31 |
| ActionParsnip | jmadrid: if you run: lsusb | 23:31 |
| MadSeaDog | Mka, yeah... | 23:31 |
| ActionParsnip | jmadrid: you will see an 8 character hex IS you can websearch for | 23:31 |
| jmadrid | For example, Ubunto support says: adjust launching one typical application with the described problem follows. | 23:31 |
| afallenhope | So if anyone wants to know the issue was my .pulse folder. I renamed it and it worked. | 23:32 |
| jmadrid | Then it says: Go to main menu, System, Preferences, Menus: Applications, Internet, Items: Skype, Properties, and replace the Command with | 23:32 |
| Mka | MadSeaDog: that looks like you dont have enough permissions | 23:32 |
| gbear14275 | anyone else get a huge list of upgradable packages today? | 23:32 |
| jmadrid | But where is Main Menu, system, preferences, etc? | 23:32 |
| MadSeaDog | Mka, any suggestion^ | 23:32 |
| Mka | MadSeaDog: what is exactly given by "sudo fdisk -l" ? | 23:32 |
| ActionParsnip | jmadrid: does the webcam work in cheese? | 23:32 |
| Mka | MadSeaDog: is it just nothing? | 23:32 |
| jmadrid | WHat is cheese? | 23:32 |
| MadSeaDog | absolutely nothing... | 23:33 |
| ActionParsnip | !info cheese | jmadrid | 23:33 |
| jmadrid | Well... got to go anyways! Thanks for reading my cryout! | 23:33 |
| ubottu | jmadrid: cheese (source: cheese): A tool to take pictures and videos from your webcam. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.26.0-0ubuntu1 (jaunty), package size 2742 kB, installed size 5084 kB | 23:33 |
| DigitalKiwi | Description : Use your webcam to take photos and videos, apply fancy special effects and share the fun with others | 23:33 |
| jmadrid | I'll deal with it another day. | 23:33 |
| DigitalKiwi | cheese ^ | 23:33 |
| SquirrelMan | Yay, I fixed it | 23:33 |
| gbear14275 | anyone get an upgrade window today? | 23:34 |
| darkenergy | ActionParsnip, bastid_raZor: apparently i have no choice but to pay for a server with a public IP and forward ssh from both hosts to it | 23:34 |
| DigitalKiwi | gbear14275: lots of people apparently | 23:34 |
| gbear14275 | DigitalKiwi: may I ask was it supposed to happen? or is this an error? | 23:34 |
| DigitalKiwi | i dunno | 23:34 |
| Mka | MadSeaDog: try "sudo su" and then "fdisk -l" afterwards | 23:35 |
| MadSeaDog | Mka, still nothing | 23:35 |
| Mka | MadSeaDog: if you dont mind, pastebin your dmesg | 23:36 |
| mgv3 | hi - my spell checker isnt working while i was already removed the second spell check in another language that may cause a clash - how can i make xchat having a spell check? | 23:36 |
| MadSeaDog | Mka, just plain not detected... | 23:36 |
| ActionParsnip | MadSeaDog: check bios | 23:36 |
| Mka | MadSeaDog: so you are on Live CD now? | 23:37 |
| bastid_raZor | darkenergy: are you sure the isp isn't blocking port 22 which is why you can't get through? my isp blocks it so i use port 2222 | 23:37 |
| === chaky_ is now known as chaky | ||
| === sal is now known as Guest73696 | ||
| MadSeaDog | Mka, yeah on live cd.... | 23:38 |
| Guest73696 | my sound is not working on ubuntu | 23:38 |
| Guest73696 | someone give me an idea | 23:38 |
| darkenergy | bastid_raZor, there are 2 ISP's involved, both using NAT, none of the hosts has a public IP address | 23:38 |
| Mka | MadSeaDog: I guess do as ActionParsnip suggests | 23:38 |
| MadSeaDog | Mka, gonna go see there if i can make bios detect it... | 23:38 |
| bastid_raZor | darkenergy: also you can use dyndns and ddclient to get a dns for a dynamic ip | 23:38 |
| MadSeaDog | thanks folks | 23:38 |
| Mka | MadSeaDog: good luck | 23:39 |
| scar3crow | question: how do I set ktorrent as my default torrent application? | 23:39 |

| mika_video | to check if a port in your PC is reacable from the outside (public internet)) try this page: http://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2 | 23:39 |
| n8tuser | darkenergy-> kindly draw the network layout so its easier for us to understand your connectivity, paste it in pastebin | 23:39 |
| bastid_raZor | darkenergy: you have the router forward your ports.. but i'm unfamiliar with the full workings of NAT .. i may be missing something | 23:39 |
| darkenergy | bastid_raZor, the IP's are not dynamic, they're private | 23:39 |
| frednach | hi, is there a way to copy the last shell output on the current shell line with only the keyboard ? | 23:40 |
| roffe | I've got problems installing q2, could anyone help? it says I should write: echo \#\!/bin/sh > quake2_, but it doesn't work | 23:40 |
| bastid_raZor | darkenergy: i didn't know an ip could be 'private' .. | 23:40 |
| optimizer | is there anyway, through xset, to make the mice less sensistive? | 23:40 |
| frednach | hi, is there a way to copy the last shell output on the current shell line with only the keyboard ? | 23:41 |
| bastid_raZor | darkenergy: if you go to whatsmyip.com you should get an IP. yes? | 23:41 |
| mika_video | <frednach>: I don't know, but as a workaround: press up, edit the line like: echo "whatever you want to copy from the last command" >somefile.txt | 23:41 |
| n8tuser | frednach-> why not redirect the output like so cmd1 > file.txt and then cat file.txt | 23:41 |
| darkenergy | bastid_raZor, they are private IP address ranges: 192.168.255.255, 10.255.255.255 etc, they're used for hosts that can't be accessed directly from the internet | 23:41 |
| darkenergy | bastid_raZor, these hosts connect via a proxy | 23:42 |
| Doc_Lappy | k found it thanks | 23:42 |
| n8tuser | darkenergy-> kindly draw the network layout so its easier for us to understand your connectivity, paste it in pastebin <--- do this please | 23:42 |
| darkenergy | bastid_raZor, all PCs using that ISP have the same public IP address | 23:42 |
| bastid_raZor | darkenergy: ah, then your network set up is beyond my ability. best of luck | 23:42 |
| mordof | i enabled cube gears in compiz.. wondering how to view it | 23:42 |
| distrohopper | set transparency on your desktop cube when rotating | 23:42 |
| mordof | ah, k | 23:43 |
| frednach | n8tuser: what i mean is to avoid using the mouse for copy/paste and i owuld like to be able to get the data directly on my new shell line | 23:43 |
| mika_video | <darkenergy>: if really some ISP's are still doing that (giving private 10.*.*.* or 192.168.*.*) IP's to their customers, my advice: switch to another ISP if you can! | 23:43 |
| n8tuser | frednach-> what if the output is far too long? do what i suggested and you'll manage | 23:44 |
| foundry87 | I got a new computer. Is there a way for me to transfer over all my programs/settings to the new one easily? | 23:44 |
| roffe | what does "echo \#\!/bin/sh > quake2" mean? | 23:44 |
| mika_video | if you cannot, then your only choice to accept connections from outside is using another PC wuith a publicly accessible IP as a proxy | 23:44 |
| soreau | mordof: You have to set Opacity to something other than 100 in ccsm>Desktop Cube>Transparent Cube | 23:44 |
| mordof | soreau: mhmm :D i found it, ty | 23:44 |
| mordof | soo cool | 23:44 |
| soreau | mordof: Note that doing so will use more cpu | 23:44 |
| Flannel | roffe: It's going to make the file "quake2" with "#!/bin/sh" in it | 23:45 |
| scyx | so does anybody have any other ideas how to get a list of all the packages I specifically selected to be installed (NOT dependencies or preinstalled ones). i see that synaptic has a "history" of installed/deleted etc packages, might it be possible to use that somehow? | 23:45 |
| scyx | and synaptic seems to have a "save markings" and "create download script" option too, but those only create empty files =/ | 23:45 |
| mordof | soreau: *shrugs* i've got a fast computer. compiz isn't dropping below 300fps with a good number of the features enabled at once | 23:45 |
| ctmjr | !clone | foundry87 | 23:45 |
| ubottu | foundry87: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 23:45 |
| mordof | i'm installing the fglrx drivers currently so it actually uses my video card though | 23:45 |
| mika_video | <darkenergy>: also: if you want to connect between two provate IP PC's that are on a different network, then you really need a third PC to act as a proxy. But if one of them is with public IP. you need to initiate the connection from a PC that has private IP TO a PC that has a public IP. | 23:46 |
| mordof | or the VPU or whatever the change is | 23:46 |
| foundry87 | ctmrj: Thanks :) | 23:46 |
| ctmjr | foundry87: your welcome | 23:46 |
| darkenergy | mika_video, i know all that, i was looking for a recommendation for a 3rd party service. I've just signed up for Amazon EC2 and will use an instance for that | 23:47 |
| mika_video | Some software packages work despite this (for example: Skype). But they do it by using other Skype user's PC as a proxy, and with Skype, this happens automatically. | 23:47 |
| deejaydblock1 | When I try to upgrade from Jaunty to Karmic, why isn't there an "Upgrade" button on the Update Manager? | 23:48 |
| mordof | ok.. hmm i installed the flgrx from the synaptic package manager, didn't require an update. will it switch the driver being used when i restart, or do i need to do something more to get it to switch over | 23:48 |

| ianm_ | does anyone have SHMConfig working in 9.04 (direct access to raw absolute x/y data from touchpads)? | 23:50 |
| mika_video | <dandaman>: actually I am not s good at C... but at least I have tried to learn enough of it to be able to interface between a .so written in C and an app written, for example, in Free pascal ( note for C programmers: the original Pascal language as defined by some very old ISO standard has been dead for over 20 years now. When someone says "Pascal" today, it really means Objectpascal, the difference being even bigger than between C and C++ ! ) | 23:51 |
| deejaydblock1 | When I try to upgrade from Jaunty to Karmic, why isn't there an "Upgrade" button on the Update Manager? | 23:52 |

| mika_video | <dandaman>: my guess: if you really need to do that in C, use atoi() ... otherwise I'd do it using freepascal (which, despite the name, is actually Objectpascal. But unlike Java, Objectpascal does not force objects down your throat !) | 23:53 |
