| cody-somerville | homebrewcider, try using a different mirror | 12:47 |
| homebrewcider | hmm, to downloiad the deb file? | 12:48 |
| cody-somerville | to download the dependencies | 12:48 |
| homebrewcider | ah okay, will try that | 12:48 |
| homebrewcider | cody, that worked, thanx | 13:11 |
| cody-somerville | np :) | 13:14 |
| knome | beep | 13:15 |
| knome | cody-somerville, should i eat some pizza or go home and make some bread? | 13:17 |
| cody-somerville | fuzzy, try again later. | 13:17 |
| ioka | hello | 13:32 |
| ioka | how can I find out what partitions do I have and their names so I can mount them? | 13:33 |
| cody-somerville | lshw should help | 13:34 |
| Sysi | that might be easiest with nautilus filemanager | 13:34 |
| Sysi | it can show them straight ahead | 13:35 |
| ioka | it does not show them | 13:36 |
| ioka | I do not have nautilius | 13:36 |
| Sysi | you can install it | 13:36 |
| Sysi | but that't just one way | 13:37 |
| Sysi | for me easiest | 13:37 |
| ioka | i'd like to find out the general knowledge for mounting | 13:37 |
| ioka | let's say I do not have a gui interface | 13:37 |
| ioka | only black terminal | 13:37 |
| cody-somerville | ioka, ls /sys/block | 13:41 |
| cody-somerville | ioka, that'll list all block devices | 13:42 |
| ioka | ok | 13:48 |
| ochosi | ioka, you can also ls /dev/ | grep sda (where "sda" is the device name of your hdd. you can find out via ls /sys/block) | 13:50 |
| ioka | how to mount partition and change the permissions on it? | 14:09 |
| ochosi | ioka, "man mount" | 14:15 |
| Pres-Gas | !mount | 14:42 |
| ubottu | mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount | 14:42 |
| florian_ | Hello everybody, why does my xfce-panel start and end several times after boot-up | 14:46 |
| likemindead | Yikes. That's no good. What version of Xubuntu? | 14:47 |
| florian_ | ubuntu 9.04 with xcfe-desktop | 14:49 |
| likemindead | Ah. You installed xfce-desktop in Ubuntu. I'm not sure what to do there. | 14:51 |
| florian_ | well, some weeks ago, almost everybody on this channel said there is no difference whether I have a "pure" xubuntu or "only" the xcfe-dektop. | 14:52 |
| likemindead | I've always had mixed results installing multiple desktop environments... | 14:53 |
| florian_ | for example? | 14:53 |
| likemindead | Bugginess like you're describing. | 14:59 |
| likemindead | I think simply adding window managers is safer than adding entire desktop environments. | 14:59 |
| florian_ | hm. would it be useful to deinstall the gnome-desktop? | 15:00 |
| florian_ | what are window-managers? | 15:00 |
| likemindead | !window manager | 15:06 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about window manager | 15:06 |
| likemindead | Hrm... | 15:06 |
| likemindead | http://www.ghacks.net/2008/12/09/get-to-know-linux-desktop-environment-vs-window-manager/ | 15:06 |
| likemindead | Window managers are smaller & simpler. They don't include file managers, etc. That's when it becomes a desktop environment. | 15:07 |
| florian_ | how can i find out which wm is being used by my de? | 15:23 |
| florian_ | thanx for the link, very enlightening! | 15:24 |
| likemindead | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Window_manager | 15:28 |
| florian_ | thank you! | 15:29 |
| mikubuntu | omg. i never used a torrent before. had trouble with azureus, and another, and then someone here suggested using deluge yesterday .. well it works, but it's downloading a 1.12 gb file at between 1.4 and 2 kib/s .. in two days its downloaded barely 20% of the file. i thought 'torrents' were sposed to be FAST? | 16:09 |
| TheSheep | depends on how many people are seeding it | 16:14 |

| ron_o | is there any way I can troubleshoot why my flash gets corrupted after my browser has been open for too long? | 17:04 |
| ron_o | It happens both in Firefox and Opera. The same symptoms. Even when I changed Opera setting for Flashplayer 10x it continues. | 17:05 |
| ron_o | I'm using Jaunty | 17:05 |
| nikolam | what browser | 17:06 |
| nikolam | what flawh version | 17:07 |
| nikolam | what xubuntu version | 17:07 |
| nikolam | how flash is installed, what version | 17:07 |
| nikolam | oh, jaunty, thats like latest,9.94 | 17:07 |
| nikolam | 32 or 64-bit | 17:07 |
| ron_o | Opera 9.63 and Firefox 3.01.. 32 bit, You have version 10,0,22,87 installed | 17:09 |
| ron_o | same symptoms in both. Exactly the same. The sound gets distorted and the entire flash stutters, like as in it will start and stop. | 17:09 |
| ron_o | but only after my browser has been open for some time. | 17:10 |
| ron_o | weird symptom. | 17:10 |
| nikolam | what web page are that you are experience that on? | 17:10 |
| ron_o | youtube. | 17:10 |
| ron_o | but it's happend over several web pages.. | 17:10 |
| ron_o | vimeo also. | 17:10 |
| nikolam | try installing seamonkey. if problem persist, try installing flash from adobe site, that might help | 17:11 |
| ron_o | with FF I would just disable then re-enable Flash and then reload the page and it would be fine. But with Opera I must restart the entire browser. | 17:11 |
| nikolam | Personally I am on 64 bit Hardy and i use latest 64bit flash from <adobe. Works great now | 17:11 |
| ron_o | will do. Didn't think about adobe's version. | 17:11 |
| ron_o | uninstall the free version? | 17:12 |
| nikolam | i wont. | 17:13 |
| nikolam | I think it is just older non free version just installed with repo | 17:13 |
| mikubuntu | omg. i never used a torrent before. had trouble with azureus, and another, and then someone here suggested using deluge yesterday .. well it works, but it's downloading a 1.12 gb file at between 1.4 and 2 kib/s .. in two days its downloaded barely 20% of the file. i thought 'torrents' were sposed to be FAST? | 17:13 |
| nikolam | One day you do upgrade it will follow upgrade | 17:13 |
| ron_o | mikubuntu, your filewall is probably causing you problems. | 17:14 |
| ron_o | you need to figure out which port that deluge is running off of and open that port in your firewall. | 17:14 |
| mikubuntu | ummm, what do i do, disable till the torrents done? | 17:15 |
| ron_o | torrent applications are both clients and servers. | 17:15 |
| ron_o | mikubuntu, try that to see if it is your firewall, but you need a firewall. Just open the port that deluge is using. | 17:15 |
| ron_o | depending on your firewall.... | 17:15 |
| ron_o | you'll have to figure out how to do that. | 17:16 |
| mikubuntu | omg, i don't even know what firewall is on here or where to find it .. haha .. let alone find the port | 17:16 |
| ron_o | and torrents are only as fast as there are seeders and leechers. | 17:16 |
| ron_o | well, that is beyond the issues of this channel. :) | 17:16 |
| mikubuntu | well, you don't have to start calling names | 17:16 |
| mikubuntu | :) | 17:17 |
| ron_o | first, turn off your firewall and I bet you will have a better experience, but turn it back on because you don't want to become a victim of your own doing. :) | 17:17 |
| mikubuntu | now its downloading at about 5 kib/s .. haha .. eta .. 2d 2h .. hahaha | 17:20 |
| ron_o | be patient. It takes awhile for you to become 'recognized' | 17:21 |
| ron_o | you should read up on just the basics of bittorrent. | 17:22 |
| nikolam | mikubuntu, torrent speed is all about seeds. Also about your seed ratio | 17:38 |
| nikolam | also dwat is you up/dw speed? | 17:38 |
| nikolam | also use http//ftp server for iso it is faster, and then seed :) | 17:39 |
| Aquina | 'lo I'm using Azureus 2.5.04 with Xubuntu. Yet I had no problems but I'm concerned about security. Shuld I upgrade to vuze 4.0? | 20:40 |
| Sysi | no, if it's installed from repos | 20:40 |
| Sysi | there isn't unsecure stuff | 20:41 |
| Aquina | ok, thx | 20:46 |
| peanut2 | greetings | 20:52 |
| ryjyd | hello | 22:50 |
| ryjyd | anyone about? | 22:52 |
| knome | 22:52 | |
| ryjyd | well, I'll lay a question out here, and hopefully someone knows what to do | 22:55 |
| knome | yup. | 22:55 |
| ryjyd | I got vino server running on xubuntu, and in the process of doing that, I made the panels disappear, and every time I restart my comp, the last firefox window I had comes up, a system monitor, and a terminal, and that's it | 22:57 |
| ryjyd | question is, how do I get the panels back up? | 22:58 |
| knome | ryjyd, alt+f2 -> xfce4-panel | 22:58 |
| ryjyd | that was easy | 22:59 |
| ryjyd | now to figure out if it sticks... | 22:59 |
| knome | yup. you got anything mor challenging? ;) | 22:59 |
| ryjyd | yeah, but I don't feel like digging into it, and I think it's a hardware issue anyhow... old ass PCs | 23:01 |
| knome | you can try | 23:01 |
| ryjyd | it involves lugging hardware around... and the messages I get look like the results of fried memory chips | 23:02 |
| ryjyd | btw, the panels stayed... thanks for that | 23:02 |
| knome | okay | 23:02 |
| knome | forunately memory is cheap | 23:02 |
| ryjyd | yeah... cheaper if you get it from a pc antique store | 23:03 |
| ryjyd | I think I will challenge you a bit... gimme a sec to hook this other pc up | 23:04 |
| knome | okay | 23:04 |
| ryjyd | could be a hard drive too... can hear a little grinding going on... | 23:07 |
| ryjyd | the live cd does look for a swap partition, doesn't it... | 23:08 |
| knome | i suppose so yeah | 23:08 |
| ryjyd | man, my stuff might be all simple... kinda disappointing | 23:09 |
| ryjyd | all msgs start with ata1.01 | 23:10 |
| knome | sounds like HD | 23:10 |
| ryjyd | exception emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x0 | 23:10 |
| ryjyd | BMDMA stat 0x45 | 23:11 |
| ryjyd | cmd c8/00:20:3f:00:00/00:00:00:00:00/f0 tag 0 dma 4096 | 23:12 |
| ryjyd | in | 23:12 |
| ryjyd | res 51/40:01:57:00:00/00:00:00:00:00/f0 Emask 0x9 (media error) | 23:13 |
| ryjyd | okay... I has plan | 23:13 |
| knome | the ata messages sound like HD | 23:13 |
| ryjyd | and media error... big clue theree too | 23:14 |
| ryjyd | I will unhook one hd, or maybe both | 23:14 |
| ryjyd | well well... that looks better | 23:18 |
| ritchie_rope | hello | 23:19 |
| ryjyd | I apologize, but I have nothing complicated, I'm afraid | 23:19 |
| knome | hi ritchie_rope | 23:19 |
| knome | ryjyd, that's ok ;) | 23:19 |
| ritchie_rope | could someone help me in setting up GRUB? | 23:20 |
| ryjyd | unless you can tell me for sure that an ati card with an rca video out won't work without holy water | 23:20 |
| ritchie_rope | I am sure it is not so complicated as the descriptions of it are.. | 23:20 |
| knome | ritchie_rope, grub should be set up automatically | 23:20 |
| knome | ryjyd, probably won't ;) | 23:21 |
| ritchie_rope | knome, sure, but I installed a windows xp (had to because of printing problems) | 23:21 |
| ryjyd | okay, I'm off to get holy water, then | 23:21 |
| ritchie_rope | and I managed to have xubuntu again | 23:21 |
| ryjyd | thanks again for your help | 23:21 |
| ritchie_rope | it boots up, but xp is nowhere | 23:21 |
| knome | ryjyd, np. have fun with xubuntu. | 23:21 |
| knome | !grub | ritchie_rope | 23:21 |
| ubottu | ritchie_rope: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 23:21 |
| ritchie_rope | yes, I know.. i googled a lot in the topic | 23:22 |
| ritchie_rope | but the descriptions are not so helpful.. | 23:22 |
| knome | right | 23:22 |
| knome | ritchie_rope, what's the problem? | 23:22 |
| ritchie_rope | I only want GRUB to load xp for me sometimes, nothing more | 23:22 |
| knome | ritchie_rope, yep, but where are you stuck in? | 23:23 |
| ritchie_rope | only the linux kernel lines and the memtest can be found on the options sreen | 23:23 |
| knome | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot#Recovering%20GRUB%20after%20reinstalling%20Windows | 23:23 |
| ritchie_rope | on loading | 23:23 |
| knome | see that page. does it tell you what you have to do? | 23:23 |
| knome | uhm | 23:24 |
| knome | sorry | 23:24 |
| knome | that was a wrong subheading | 23:25 |
| ritchie_rope | well, in another way I already recovered the GRUB | 23:25 |
| knome | okay | 23:25 |
| ritchie_rope | I only want to add a line somehow which loads xp | 23:25 |
| knome | i suppose reinstalling would help as well.. | 23:25 |
| knome | i understand | 23:25 |
| ritchie_rope | oh, ok.. I'll try it | 23:25 |
| ritchie_rope | just my dvd reader is getting on my nerves, hopefully it will read the live cd | 23:26 |
| knome | ritchie_rope, http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-116093.html | 23:26 |
| knome | ritchie_rope, there is more | 23:26 |
| ritchie_rope | thank you for this last page... | 23:28 |
| ritchie_rope | it seems promising | 23:28 |
| ritchie_rope | at least somewhere it is described why I always have to write hd something but all I always see is sda in linux | 23:29 |
| knome | yup | 23:29 |
| ritchie_rope | by the way, does it make any difference if I see boot partitions made by windows listed separately after typing fdisk -l? | 23:30 |
| ritchie_rope | oh, it is fsck if i am not mistaken | 23:31 |
| ritchie_rope | sorry, it is pretty late here :( | 23:31 |
| knome | here as well | 23:31 |
| Whisper | i get something with conflicting packages when i try to install virtualbox, why is that? | 23:32 |
| Whisper | libqtgui4 seems to be the problem | 23:33 |
| Whisper | but i cant figure out what to do | 23:33 |
| ritchie_rope | wow!!!! | 23:34 |
| ritchie_rope | working!!! :D:D | 23:34 |
| ritchie_rope | I can't believe it! :) | 23:34 |
| ritchie_rope | it was simple indeed | 23:35 |
| ritchie_rope | :) | 23:35 |
| ritchie_rope | thank you for helping me, knome | 23:36 |
| knome | ritchie_rope, no. have fun :) | 23:36 |
| knome | s/no/np/ | 23:36 |
| Whisper | anyone else having problems with virtualbox install? | 23:40 |
| knome | Whisper, nope, not at the moment. what's the problem? | 23:40 |
| Whisper | wait, ill give you a pastebin | 23:41 |
| Whisper | knome http://paste.ubuntu.com/299346/ | 23:42 |
| Whisper | thats what it said | 23:42 |
| knome | Whisper, which xubuntu are you running? | 23:43 |
| Whisper | latest i think..i just downloaded it | 23:43 |
| Whisper | how can i check? | 23:43 |
| knome | what does 'lsb_release -a' say in terminal? | 23:43 |
| Whisper | Ubuntu 9.04 | 23:44 |
| knome | okay | 23:44 |
| knome | Whisper, what does 'sudo apt-get check' say? | 23:44 |
| Whisper | http://paste.ubuntu.com/299349/ | 23:46 |
| knome | Whisper, with sudo, please | 23:46 |
| Whisper | im root | 23:46 |
| knome | right | 23:46 |
| knome | let me think a bit | 23:48 |
| Whisper | however, if i try to apt-get the package it complained about in the first link i get this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/299350/ | 23:48 |
| knome | what if you try to isntall libaudio2? :P | 23:48 |
| Whisper | http://paste.ubuntu.com/299352/ | 23:49 |
| knome | right. 'cat /etc/apt/sources.list' ? | 23:50 |
| Whisper | http://paste.ubuntu.com/299354/ | 23:51 |
| knome | okay, there's the problem | 23:51 |
| knome | just a minute | 23:51 |
| knome | Whisper, you are familiar in editing text files? | 23:52 |
| Whisper | yeah, sure | 23:52 |
| Whisper | i know linux well, not that skilled on ubuntu tho since ive mostly been using gentoo before | 23:52 |
| knome | okay, so replace your /etc/apt/sources.list with this one: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6281152&postcount=2 | 23:53 |
| knome | then run 'sudo apt-get update' and try to install virtualbox again | 23:53 |
| knome | and tell me the results or any problems you might run into, of course | 23:53 |
| Whisper | running update now | 23:54 |
| Whisper | seems to be working so far | 23:55 |
| Whisper | what is vboxgtk? | 23:56 |
| knome | some kind of gui, i suppose | 23:56 |
| === LjL is now known as LJL | ||
| Whisper | okay | 23:56 |
