| trev_js | Need advice: I'm trying to use gpart to copy my partitions to a new hard-drive. Currently trying to move an NTFS partition, and I can't tell if it is locked up or actively copying. Should there be a progress bar? | 00:59 |

| durt | Gratz474, again, as far as FF is concerned, highly doubtful. | 01:01 |
| Gratz474 | trism, i have experienced a performance improvement from going from 32 to 16 before | 01:01 |
| trev_js | Anyone up for a gparted question? Anybody used it recently? | 01:01 |
| trism | Gratz474: give it a shot then, I haven't noticed any difference, unless of course it was through vnc or something, cause then smaller images to send over the network | 01:01 |
| Chilaquiles | hey guys any ideas: is there any program in ubuntu for changing a image from jpg or any other kind of image and can convert them to bmp? | 01:03 |
| PacketCollision | trev_js: don't remember if it has a progress bar, is your disk light on? | 01:03 |
| Chilaquiles | and also to be able to do this | 01:03 |
| Chilaquiles | metal.bmp bits per pixel is not 24: 8 | 01:03 |
| trev_js | hey chila, have you tried GIMP? | 01:03 |
| PacketCollision | if so, it is probably actively copying. | 01:03 |
| Chilaquiles | no | 01:03 |
| Chilaquiles | is that good trev_js? | 01:03 |
| Gratz474 | trism, i mean will i see a visual difference though with the quality of my desktop? | 01:03 |
| trev_js | yeah, there is a progress bar, but it just bounces back and forth | 01:03 |
| Chilaquiles | cuz i dont understand this error in my c program | 01:04 |
| Chilaquiles | metal.bmp bits per pixel is not 24: 8 | 01:04 |
| Chilaquiles | so can i do that in GIMP? | 01:04 |
| trev_js | Chila: Gimp handles a lot of differant filetypes | 01:04 |

| maco | gnuisancev4: ~/.tomboy/ is where its always been. dont think its changed | 01:17 |
| gnuisancev4 | thanks trism, but this is specific the new tomboy in karmic... even if i open the app and create a note, there's no ~/.tomboy directory. There's a ~/.config/Tomboy/ directory but there's no *.note files in it from my test notes | 01:18 |

| wes32 | i've been reading up on ecryptfs but I seem to be getting contradictory information on this specific issue | 01:20 |
| gnuisancev4 | the whole point of encryption is so that if someone has physical access to the box they can't get to the data, even if they rebooted with a livecd | 01:20 |

| jaquer | Quick Q: I'm currently using Intrepid and want to update to the Karmic RC. Do I have to install Jaunty first? | 01:21 |
| craigbass1976 | MK13, what's the matter with it? | 01:21 |
| trism | jaquer: yes | 01:21 |
| MenZa | jaquer: Yes, but I *highly* recommend you install it from scratch. | 01:21 |
| wes32 | gnuisancev4: with all due respect, what does that have to do with my question? | 01:21 |
| MenZa | jaquer: The update currently has an issue with the bootloader, which won't allow that specific part to be updated. | 01:21 |
| wes32 | jaquer: considering the changes made in Karmic, I second MenZa's suggestion (new GRUB and ext4) | 01:21 |
| craigbass1976 | MK13, I set up frostwire for the first time a couple months ago in hardy and jaunty; not a hitch | 01:21 |
| jaquer | Sounds good. Thanks all. | 01:22 |

| craigbass1976 | wes32, what's up with ext4? What's new? | 01:22 |
| jtmcgee | Hey guys, I have a quick question needing advice. I have this really slow computer, and a really fast one. The slow one is miserable to use, but could I remote desktop (viewing) into a virtual ubuntu on the fast comuter, and would that be faster? | 01:23 |
| wes32 | craigbass1976: it's like ext3, but slightly better in most regards :) | 01:23 |
| MK13 | craigbass1976, it just gives an error when trying to start, http://pastebin.com/d568a604d | 01:23 |
| eduardo_ | #ubuntu | 01:23 |
| gnuisancev4 | wes32: the mount passphrase can be used with a live cd, as long as someone has the mount passphrase, bypassing the OS and mounting it and retrieving the data isn't hard to do. you asked if it was save, i said no and that's why | 01:23 |
| wes32 | craigbass1976: the one thing i'm noticing is a minor speed increase, but that might be mentally | 01:23 |
| MK13 | craigbass1976: i do notice the message about a corrupt frostwire.jar | 01:23 |
| craigbass1976 | MK13, how did you install java? | 01:23 |
| eduardo_ | hey:D | 01:24 |
| wes32 | gnuisancev4: ah I see. so my thinking of needing the login passphrase to decrypt the mount passphrase is rather bogus, then? because that's what many ubuntu-related websites are suggesting | 01:24 |
| Leif | Samba Error: Unknown enumerated value ads for security | 01:24 |

| MK13 | craigbass1976: yea, i am on 64 bit | 01:24 |
| trism | jtmcgee: I don't know about the virtual ubuntu part, but otherwise that's what I'm doing...vnc and ssh on the laptop to a faster desktop, works fine | 01:24 |
| Leif | can some one help me with a samba error? | 01:25 |
| jtmcgee | trism: cool, but if like even clicking a button, and a menu popping up takes a long time, would that also make the virt. server just as slow to use? | 01:25 |
| trism | jtmcgee: not with vnc, since vnc just sends pictures of the desktop back | 01:26 |
| jhouse | Why do I have green checkmarks everywhere with 9.10? | 01:26 |
| MK13 | craigbass1976: it isn't supposed to have a problem with 64bit, and i installed jre via : sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jre | 01:26 |
| jtmcgee | Okay... would VNC be the fastest option though? It was pretty slow when I used it for windows to windows. | 01:26 |

| Doonz | OK, question 2. How can i remote desktop into a server located miles away but when i log onto the desktop the network icon says no active connection | 02:07 |

| jacquesdupontd | trism, i was always doing that before and my script as like 10 better things than this solution i could tell you, you have the file, you download it the fastest possible instead of using the buffer of vlc, you can pause many other reasons | 02:34 |
| jacquesdupontd | i managed | 02:36 |
| jacquesdupontd | trism, just putted a kill $! on the end of the script | 02:36 |
| jacquesdupontd | great | 02:36 |
| trism | jacquesdupontd: great, I was just about to suggest $! | 02:37 |
| jacquesdupontd | trism, you should try my script it really works perfectly | 02:37 |
| ever | #mexico | 02:37 |
| trism | jacquesdupontd: I actually like to finish downloading before I try to watch any videos, I just queue them up in a text file and wget -i file | 02:38 |
| jacquesdupontd | and really better than vlc theurl that was freezing if your downloading speed goes down but not taking more data if it goes faster and when there was freezes you were missing the during time of the freeze of the movie | 02:38 |
| trism | jacquesdupontd: it is definitely an interesting idea though | 02:39 |
| jacquesdupontd | trism, but i have to ask you something else to make it really perfect, in fact i would like that in the script if in my arg an ".avi" is inside take the name of the file instead of tempmov and if it's a directory do like i did | 02:39 |
| tobie | i went to a barnes and noble where they had a wireless repeater on their main at&t wifi connection. i am using b43 from b43-fwcutter. i was unable to connect to either ATT ssid. is that a common occurance where repeaters are stationed ? | 02:40 |
| jacquesdupontd | before i did with the name of the end of the url after the "/" but doesn't works when the file is an url wich only finish by "/" with no file name | 02:40 |

| dfr|mac_ | Billiard: i haven't really tried... I would imagine that if I plugged a regular monitor, it would work fine... | 02:47 |
| ageeb | dfr|mac: assuming your trying the right procedure, have you tried any other resolutions? did the manual say that's the max resolution? | 02:48 |
| dfr|mac_ | Billiard: I've played a bit with xrandr according to manuals online... but there're two caveats: 1) for some reason it only wants 856x480 resolution, not 852.... the other is that the "viewable" part of the screen is shifted right and up... and not sure how to tell xrandr to offset it | 02:48 |

How can I change Ubuntu9.10 default desktop, menu,task bars, ...into something like Windows 7/Vista (I hate having two bars on my screen, for one) or an Apple look? Also is there a theme which is neater than the default one (I have seen themes on the net but not sure hot to install them)?

| doc-saintly | t used to be that arestart would fix this, but it seems not to be th case this time | 03:04 |
| nickrud | Gratz474, you'd do something similar : grep -i exa /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 03:04 |

| Ch3mtail | With the USB install mode that's now avaliable from the live CD, you will create a USB installation that retains changes made purely in memory until system shutdown, then writing them to disk to minimize device wear, correct? | 03:05 |
| eniacpx | Tyler09: Have you tried accessing the camera with any other software, like Ekiga? just to see if it works? | 03:05 |
| nickrud | Gratz474, you'd use the second one, try uxa if that's what you think is running. man exa says it's a module, and module loading is reported in the Xorg.0.log | 03:05 |
| doc-saintly | Ch3mtail: i've never had any luck with it retaining files | 03:05 |
| K_Dallas | m0r0n, you right but my problem is not really 9.10. It is more general than that | 03:05 |
| Tyler09 | doc-saintly: Hmm I'm not sure, I'm new to ubuntu but I've got a pretty good grasp of the majority of things. So your saying when you play flash movies like say youtube you have video but no sound? | 03:05 |

| m0r0n | K_Dallas: Try that site, there are some good icon sets and whatnot to do what you want | 03:06 |
| Gratz474 | anyone else here know what intel uses? | 03:06 |
| eniacpx | Tyler09: It should be. Applications > Internet | 03:06 |
| Gratz474 | exa or uxa? | 03:06 |
| K_Dallas | m0r0n, thanks. Will do it right away | 03:06 |
| Gratz474 | i can't find either in my log | 03:06 |

| Tyler09 | eniacpx: roger checking | 03:07 |
| nickrud | you'd need to ask there for up to date accuracy most likely | 03:07 |
| Tyler09 | eniacpx: it shows as a UVC Camera | 03:08 |
| Tyler09 | eniacpx: it doesn't detect the actual name of the camera though | 03:08 |
| bobino | What directory to go to to fix the sound? | 03:08 |

| Blehk | Can anyone explain to me how you'd setup ldirectord to be redundant? I'm a little confused on the process. You have one internet connection, how do you guarantee that you either hit one proxy or the other? I mean, do you setup a load balancer infront of the two? And how can you guarantee that when one downs, that the other is the only one that's hit? | 03:09 |

| jrib | Jimmio: then I don't see why not | 03:10 |
| Tyler09 | eniacpx: I tried updating the UVC drivers thinking that was the issue but I ran into issues at the end compiling the Debian Package | 03:10 |
| Tyler09 | eniacpx: it installed succesfully but it wouldn't compile the package | 03:10 |

| Gratz474 | m0r0n, because maybe i am not using the best and could get more performance using another | 03:14 |
| nickrud | Gratz474, according to http://intellinuxgraphics.org/ , it uses exa | 03:15 |
| nickrud | Gratz474, erm, wrong order - uxa replaced it | 03:15 |

| cristian | Hi | 04:39 |
| cwillu_clone | johntron, you'd use qemu or something equivilent | 04:39 |
| ZykoticK9 | johntron, kvm requires the virt support in CPU, qemu (which kvm is sorta based off of) does not. | 04:39 |
| johntron | cwillu_clone: i think that's what the OLPC folks use | 04:39 |
| cwillu_clone | johntron, or in some cases you could use something like user-mode linux as a pseudo virtualization | 04:39 |

| aperson | is there a replacement for the gnome alt+f2 launch application dialog for someone who uses gnome without any panels? | 05:01 |
| lucas_ | DaZ: yeah | 05:01 |

| m3onh0x84_ | mehedi: You installed ubuntu on virtualbox in win xp ? | 05:04 |
| Owners | Is there another room where people help? | 05:04 |
| RAWRjar | @Billard: um, isn't that a crazy-complicated solution for DNS queries not working in a VM? | 05:04 |

| Owners | Ugh so im pretty much stuck with a box that doesn't connect | 05:05 |
| Owners | Or windows... Sigh | 05:05 |
| durt | Owners, can you restate your problem in full detail. | 05:06 |
| Billiard | RAWRjar: what? | 05:06 |
| Owners | This box refuses to attain an ip on 3 of 4 cards | 05:06 |
| RAWRjar | @Billard: sorry, I have no idea how to set up a DNS server | 05:06 |
| Owners | The one card that worked is in a customers computer now. | 05:07 |
| RAWRjar | and I'd think I don't need to run my own - the Windows guest gets it fine | 05:07 |
| Billiard | RAWR no dont run your own | 05:07 |
| RAWRjar | k | 05:07 |
| durt | Owners, how many cards in the system right now? | 05:07 |
| RAWRjar | then I misinterpreted you | 05:07 |
| Billiard | RAWRjar: i mean enter in the dns server ip manually | 05:07 |
| Owners | 1 | 05:07 |
| RAWRjar | ic | 05:07 |
| cwillu_clone | "manually setting a dns server" instead of "manually setting up a dns server" :p | 05:08 |
| RAWRjar | aaaaah lol | 05:08 |
| durt | Owners, does it show in ifconfig? | 05:08 |
| RAWRjar | where can I set that? | 05:08 |
| Owners | I tried a linksys and a netgear from old pcs and now I have a 3com I just bought | 05:08 |
| Owners | It does but without an ip | 05:08 |
| Owners | Inet address area is not there and ipv6 is gibberish | 05:08 |
| kermit | my cpu keeps getting stuck at it's lowest speed on a dell laptop, even hibernate doesnt reset it, i have to reboot | 05:09 |
| durt | Owners, and dhcp has failed? | 05:09 |
| Owners | Kermit: disable the cpu saver in bios | 05:09 |
| Billiard | RAWRjar: idk i dont use a gui you probably can right click the connection status icon and change the settings | 05:09 |
| yaris123456789 | hi folks i am getting "Invalid command 'RewriteEngine', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration" , i ran a2enmod rewrite, and it says mod is already enabled.... | 05:09 |
| Owners | It appears to be so. It's directly connected to the modem | 05:09 |
| ubuntu_giant | What's the deal with gnome? With the last update my window paint really slowly! :0 | 05:09 |
| kermit | Owners: i havent seen that option | 05:10 |
| Owners | Kermit: perhaps in the power management settings | 05:10 |
| __Techie__ | tang | 05:10 |
| bmwerks | i dont have a gui for compiz because i have a onboard vidcard how can i turn off the redirect on fullscreen from the terminal? | 05:11 |
| ShapeShifter499 | hi | 05:11 |
| bastid_raZor | kermit: install cpufrequtils and then cpufreq-info .. what does it tell you? | 05:11 |
| durt | Owners, it could be the modem remembers the MAC of the previous card and won't lease another IP address thinking you're trying to connect two systems at the same time, or the cable could be bad. | 05:11 |
| ajhtiredwolf | bmwerks, having onboard video doesn't mean you shouldn't have a gui | 05:11 |

| Owners | I've tried restarting the modem and it does on occassion have issues on an xp box but resolves itself | 05:13 |
| ShapeShifter499 | I am running off a live cd trying to upload a bunch of files to a online file system so I don't loose them but I got a question if I needed a flash player, where does it install to when I'm in live cd? the ram? or what? | 05:13 |
| Owners | Whereas the ubuntu box never connects | 05:13 |
| durt | Owners, you could capture the dhcp request and response with wireshark to see what is happening (if you can get access some other way). | 05:13 |
| ajhtiredwolf | ShapeShifter499, it won't replace anything in your existing installation it will be wiped when you reboot | 05:13 |
| Owners | I've seen issues on the other box maybe 1 out of 30 starts | 05:14 |
| Guest58951 | I'm trying to increase my swap partition's size because my system is running choppily, but don't have a clue where to start. Anybody know what I need to do? | 05:14 |

| ^mNotIntelligent | I'm trying to add a start up script this way: | 05:14 |
| kermit | bastid_raZor: a lot, what am i looking for? | 05:14 |
| ShapeShifter499 | ajhtiredwolf: I know I but before I restart where do the files of the flash player go? | 05:14 |
| KentukyNitemare | If anybody could pm me that'd help a lot. I have a hard time keeping up with the jumble. | 05:14 |

| ShapeShifter499 | ajhtiredwolf: the ram? | 05:15 |
| Owners | I could get the packages on the xp box but switching back and forth has been diving me nuts | 05:15 |
| bastid_raZor | kermit: governor.. what is it set to? | 05:15 |
| ^mNotIntelligent | and in bash_login this is giving me errors: sleep(5) conky& , this error message: line 4: syntax error near unexpected token `(' | 05:16 |
| ajhtiredwolf | ShapeShifter499, no I don't think so, but im not really sure | 05:16 |
| durt | Owners, so this card works in XP? | 05:16 |
| Owners | No thats onboard | 05:16 |
| kermit | bastid_raZor: performance | 05:16 |
| durt | Owners, so there's two NICs | 05:17 |
| Owners | Onboard on a win7 box didn't work either. Out of 3 machines and 5 cards only 2 work | 05:17 |
| bastid_raZor | kermit: can you pastebin the output? | 05:17 |
| ShapeShifter499 | anyone know what happens when you install something before a restart of a live cd system, where do the installed files go? | 05:17 |
| ShapeShifter499 | the ram for temp. or what? | 05:18 |

| Owners | I have tried 4 nics in the nix box. Only one works. I have a xp box with onboard which works. And I built a win7 box in which 1 of 3 nics worked and the onboard didn't. | 05:18 |
| adrin_jalali | I get this error: Attempting to switch device 1d6b:0002 to HCI mode failed (Broken pipe) | 05:19 |

| engineer_ | need help on grub having windows 7 and ubuntu installed...... anyone plz? | 05:22 |
| kermit | bastid_raZor: it always happens when it loaded... i think its some thermal throttling, except once it throttles it never unthrottles | 05:22 |
| ajhtiredwolf | engineer_, you need to be more specific | 05:22 |
| danni__ | help guys how do i reset my login password and administrative password on ubuntu. i tried user groups but it sais too short even tho i know when u do a fresh install it should let u do short passwords anyway. | 05:22 |
| engineer_ | ok | 05:22 |
| bazhang | engineer_, dual booting win7 and jaunty or karmic | 05:22 |
| engineer_ | i have installed windows 7 and ubuntu, and grub shows both in its menu., but still windows7 doesnt load | 05:23 |
| ajhtiredwolf | engineer_, what happens when you try and boot windows 7? | 05:23 |
| Brack101 | Compiz doesn't work and I keep getting this in messages "NVRM: API mismatch: the client has the version 180.51, but this kernel module has the version 180.44. Please make sure that this kernel module and all NVIDIA driver components have the same version." | 05:23 |
| Billiard | danni__: what do you mean you tried "user groups" the passwd command allows you to change users passwords | 05:23 |
| engineer_ | on pressing enter on windows 7 option system simply restarts with nothing | 05:23 |
| engineer_ | no error messges is displayed | 05:24 |
| danni__ | billiard can you tell me how to use it | 05:24 |

| danni__ | it tells me i have to choose a longer password on passwd command line and user groups . i only need a 5 character password/ how? anyone? | 05:26 |
| ajhtiredwolf | danni__, if it says you need a longer password, just use a longer password | 05:27 |
| Billiard | danni__: yeah just use a longer password lmao | 05:27 |
| === ben is now known as Guest55074 | ||
| danni__ | lobger password? howcome i can setyup a short password when i first setup my instalation by just clicking ok/continue anyway? is there a way to over ride it | 05:29 |
| cfedde | danni__: just do it twice | 05:29 |
| jiohdi | when you first set up you can use a smaller passwd, but afterwards it will not allow it | 05:29 |
| danni__ | is there any other way to set up a short password besides a fresh install? | 05:29 |
| Billiard | danni__: did you try the shorter password, it might just be a warning | 05:30 |
| ajhtiredwolf | danni__, there is a very good reason why it won't let you use a short password | 05:30 |

| ajhtiredwolf | engineer_, how big is your windows 7 install? | 05:37 |

| bazhang | ubuntu_giant, which version of ubuntu | 05:39 |

| ae86-drifter | ubuntu_giant, have you got gfx drivers | 05:39 |
| jstrake | sorry, and thanks. | 05:40 |
| ubuntu_giant | I'm using ATI Radeon. | 05:40 |
| engineer_ | ajhtiredwolf , also there is 100mb another drive , possble contanining boot files for windows7. | 05:40 |
| ubuntu_giant | ae86-drifter: Yes. I installed the drivers from the ATI site. | 05:40 |
| webbb82 | the past few updates i did it says it wants todo a partial upgrade , does this mean i messed somethin up | 05:40 |
| engineer_ | ajhtiredwolf i have allocated 100gb for windows7 | 05:40 |
| jph_ | just a quick question if i create the file 'robots.txt' and enter in on two separate lines enter in the text 'User-agent: *' and 'Disallow: /' should that keep all bots and crawlers that chose to obey my request out of my site? | 05:40 |
| engineer_ | u got any point? | 05:40 |
| ajhtiredwolf | engineer_, are you on a differnet machine? | 05:40 |
| bazhang | engineer_, when you are in grub, does it refer to the 100MB portion as windows bootloader and see nothing else? | 05:41 |
| ae86-drifter | ubuntu_giant, goto system>admin>hardware drivers and tell me what it says | 05:41 |
| ubuntu_giant | jstrake: If you have vista on the other partition, it might be using that 14G as a backup drive. | 05:41 |
| n8tuser | jph_-> that is not an ubuntu issue, perhaps you can ask people in #apache ? | 05:41 |
| happihippo | does robots.txt work on spam bots | 05:41 |
| engineer_ | ajhtiredwolf, no i am on same machine. | 05:41 |
| ubuntu_giant | ae86-drifter: I don't have "system > administrator > hardware drivers" What's the executable? | 05:42 |
| engineer_ | bazhang, it shows windows in boot loader, doesnt say anything about 100mb | 05:42 |
| ajhtiredwolf | engineer_, do this sudo cp /boot/grub/menu.lst menu.lst.old | 05:42 |
| ubuntu_giant | ae86-drifter: Ah, sorry, overlooked. :P | 05:42 |
| ae86-drifter | jockey-gtk | 05:42 |
| ubuntu_giant | Oh! It's not activated! :P | 05:42 |
| engineer_ | ajhtiredwolf, let me try. | 05:43 |
| ae86-drifter | ubuntu_giant, theres your problem | 05:43 |
| bazhang | engineer_, couple of questions: which was installed first, what version of ubuntu and are they fresh installs respectively or upgrades from prior versions | 05:43 |
| ubuntu_giant | Sorry about that ae86-drifter. I just hate it if the problem is staring at me right in the face. :( | 05:43 |
| ae86-drifter | lol | 05:43 |
| ajhtiredwolf | bazhang, you can tell by the pastebins that windows 7 was installed first | 05:43 |
| engineer_ | but i have checked all this, even reintalled windwos 7 two times, it works, but when reinstalled grub ,windows 7 doesnt load, however appears in grub | 05:43 |
| ae86-drifter | windows 7 boots fine for me | 05:44 |
| jstrake | ubuntu_giant: nope, XP. | 05:44 |
| ae86-drifter | in a vm | 05:44 |
| jstrake | Jordan_U: what do you think? | 05:44 |
| webbb82 | in order todo the partial upgrade it wants to remove konquer | 05:44 |
| engineer_ | bazhang, windows7 installed first, ubuntu is 9.04, and they all are fresh installs, | 05:44 |
| daevski | How can I switch from Compiz to metacity? is it something I can do on the fly as a workaround for a bug? | 05:44 |
| bazhang | daevski, alt f2 metacity --replace | 05:45 |
| ajhtiredwolf | engineer_, hang on one moment | 05:45 |
| ubuntu_giant | jstrake: Possibly backups like I said, but you might have also partitioned your disk incorrectly. | 05:45 |
| KurtKraut | For some reason, on Jaunty the notify-send command is only showing messages that are set to --urgency=critical. Is there something wrong? | 05:45 |
| magikid | daevski: install compiz-fusion-icon and switch it through that | 05:45 |
| daevski | bazhang: thanks! and then compiz --replace to get back? | 05:45 |
| engineer_ | i am really sad for all this, however my core2duo system had ubuntu and windows vista, working perfectly, but now on core2duad i am unable to have both :( | 05:45 |
| bazhang | daevski, or listen to magikid | 05:45 |
| jstrake | What are possible partition mistakes? | 05:45 |
| daevski | magikid: also a good suggestion, thanks you! | 05:45 |
| engineer_ | i really appreciate your consideration and help. | 05:46 |
| Jordan_U | engineer_: What is the problem? | 05:46 |
| ajhtiredwolf | engineer_, its not because of the processor, just one sec | 05:46 |
| engineer_ | jordan_u, the problem is that windows7 appears in grub but doesnt loads | 05:46 |
| daevski | bazhang, magiki: Thank you both for input :) | 05:46 |
| engineer_ | system restarts | 05:46 |
| ajhtiredwolf | engineer_, are you able to get on another machine via irc? | 05:46 |
| jstrake | ubuntu_giant: does XP backup into restricted partitions as well? | 05:46 |
| ae86-drifter | yes | 05:47 |
| Jordan_U | engineer_: Do you get an error when you try to load it? | 05:47 |
| accid | hen installing ubuntu, it asks for a mount point, what do i select? options are /dos /windows | 05:47 |
| ajhtiredwolf | engineer_, i mean get on irc via another machine* | 05:47 |
| accid | when* | 05:47 |
| engineer_ | ajhtiredwolf, i dont know. but i am using irc from ubuntu, | 05:47 |
| ajhtiredwolf | engineer_, you are going to need to reboot | 05:47 |
| engineer_ | oh ok. | 05:47 |

| Lownin | Hello! I'm trying to set up ldap. I get to the part in https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/openldap-server.html that says "sudo ldapadduser george example".

| engineer_ | ajhtiredwolf, i have tried this from (hd0,0) to (hd,1,2 and 3) and same problem, at and after (hd0,4) it says thats the device is incorrect or something like that. i think its says this because 4, and 5 are ubuntu drives | 05:52 |

| ajhtiredwolf | engineer_, you did (hd0,1) ? | 05:52 |
| engineer_ | ajhtiredwolf, yes i did | 05:52 |

| jstrake | To restate my initial query with updated info: I'm having a hard disk space issue. Have 25G allocated on the partition. Show 1.3G free, but only several hundred Mb available. Disk Usage Analyzer only shows 7.7G on the filesystem. So what is eating up my other 14G? Have tried all conventional cleanup strategies (deborphan, apt-get clean/autoclean, etc.) df -h output is http://paste.ubuntu.com/299528/ | 05:53 |
| engineer_ | ajhtiredwolf, do u think its due to grub is unalbe to find windows7 boot loader? | 05:53 |
| engineer_ | ajhtiredwolf, or windows7 boot loader is unable to get loaded? | 05:53 |
| engineer_ | ajhtiredwolf, totally i have installed windows7, three times, and ubuntu two times, and its hectic now | 05:54 |
| Brack101 | I've tried reinstalling my Nvidia drivers 5 times and reinstalling libgl....I keep getting this and nothing 3d works. http://pastebin.com/m28281e1d - tried all suggestions in forums, nothing. Halp plz | 05:54 |
| engineer_ | ajhtiredwolf, i think i will have to throw away the QUAD, system | 05:54 |
| ajhtiredwolf | engineer_, well, what's strange is that it IS Set to the correct device | 05:54 |
| Brando753 | anyone know how i can connect to my Hp p1006 Printer, i tried the Hplip, as well as that fojlis thing and it still dosent work | 05:54 |

| engineer_ | IS? | 05:54 |
| ajhtiredwolf | engineer_, but you know, lets try another just for the hell of it | 05:55 |
| Lownin | Should I be asking my question about the Ubuntu Server OpenLDAP tutorial someplace else? | 05:55 |
| engineer_ | ajhtiredwolf, ok so anyother suggestion? as i have searched alot on internet, | 05:55 |
| ajhtiredwolf | engineer_, hang on, be patient | 05:55 |
| bp0 | hello, im trying to update my jaunty to the rc, with `update-manager -d` ... is there a way i can tell it to use packs from the cd instead of downloading? im only getting 100k from the server and its going to take hours | 05:56 |
| engineer_ | ajhtiredwolf, find all same thing, to reinstall grub and change from (hd0,0) to 1 and all that chainloader etc things | 05:56 |
| bazhang | bp0, #ubuntu+1 for karmic discussion | 05:56 |
| jstrake | sudo fdisk -l at http://paste.ubuntu.com/299532/ | 05:56 |
| engineer_ | ajhtiredwolf, but none works | 05:56 |
| ajhtiredwolf | engineer_, what happened when you tried hd(1,1) ? | 05:56 |
| jstrake | dh -h at http://paste.ubuntu.com/299528/ | 05:56 |
| engineer_ | it says something like that the device is not present | 05:57 |
| seetherM | hello | 05:57 |
| engineer_ | ajhtiredwolf, you know what? | 05:57 |
| seetherM | I downloaded ubuntu and installed it but it didnt install drivers for my gforce 210 (nvidia) can anyone point me in the right direction? | 05:57 |
| ajhtiredwolf | engineer_, i have an idea, do you know how to go into your bios? | 05:57 |
| seetherM | so i can get all the cool effects etc | 05:57 |
| engineer_ | ajhtiredwolf, yes sure. | 05:57 |
| ajhtiredwolf | engineer_, are windows 7 and ubuntu install on different hard drives? | 05:57 |
| engineer_ | ajhtiredwolf, no . on one same hardisk | 05:58 |
| engineer_ | tell me what to change in bios, i am used to it | 05:58 |
| jstrake | n8tuser: any thoughts? | 05:59 |
| ajhtiredwolf | engineer_, never mind that if its all on one hard drive | 05:59 |
| n8tuser | jstrake on what? | 05:59 |
| ajhtiredwolf | engineer_, if windows 7 was installed first it SHOULD be on hd0,0 and according to your fdisk sda1 SHOULD be the correct device | 06:00 |
| jstrake | on my query about my missing hard drive space. | 06:00 |
| engineer_ | ajhtiredwolf, yes thats right, and i know this, | 06:00 |
| engineer_ | the problem comes after this | 06:00 |
| engineer_ | all is correct, still its not booting | 06:00 |
| seetherM | I downloaded ubuntu and installed it but it didnt install drivers for my gforce 210 (nvidia) can anyone point me in the right direction? | 06:00 |
| ajhtiredwolf | engineer_, so lets see here, lets narrow the problem down, did you just install both? | 06:00 |
| engineer_ | yes, | 06:00 |
| ajhtiredwolf | after installing windows 7, it worked until you installed ubuntu correct? | 06:01 |
| engineer_ | yes | 06:01 |
| engineer_ | perfect | 06:01 |
| bazhang | seetherM, is there anything in hardware drivers (system administration hardware drivers) | 06:01 |
| ajhtiredwolf | do you have any other windows versions? | 06:01 |
| n8tuser | !who | jstrake | 06:01 |
| ubottu | jstrake: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 06:01 |
| engineer_ | yes, windows vista | 06:01 |
| ajhtiredwolf | how about xp? | 06:01 |
| seetherM | No | 06:02 |
| seetherM | bazhang | 06:02 |
| engineer_ | well, i havent got it at the moment, however its funny that i checked it with windows vista, two days before and SAME PROBLEM | 06:02 |
| ajhtiredwolf | engineer_, yeah the way they boot, win7 and vista is similar | 06:02 |
| engineer_ | means vista and windows7 same issue | 06:02 |
| engineer_ | so it means that its some problem with windows7 boot loader? | 06:03 |
| ajhtiredwolf | engineer_, no i don't think so, hang on, let me think | 06:03 |
| bazhang | engineer_, I had a similar issue, ended up using gparted to partition beforehand (gparted livecd) and the problem went away | 06:03 |
| engineer_ | or grub itsnt able to find the windows7 loader? | 06:03 |
| ajhtiredwolf | engineer_, no grub found it correctly | 06:03 |
| ajhtiredwolf | engineer_, heres a thought | 06:04 |
| engineer_ | bazhang, i have installed gparted, so what to do with that? | 06:04 |
| ajhtiredwolf | engineer_, when you installed ubuntu, how did you tell it to install, did you tell it to install side by side? | 06:04 |
| engineer_ | its just for partiioning | 06:04 |
| Lownin | Where can I get help with the Ubuntu OpenLDAP tutorial? | 06:04 |
| jstrake | ubottu: what does "!tab" mean (sorry, pseudo noob). | 06:04 |
| ubottu | I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 06:04 |
| seetherM | Bazhang, do you know what i should do? | 06:04 |
| bazhang | engineer_, gparted livecd was what I used | 06:04 |
| engineer_ | ajhtiredwolf, first time i tell to install in free space, thats was created my me for ubuntu, | 06:04 |
| Brando753 | anyone know how i can connect to my Hp p1006 Printer, i tried the Hplip, as well as that fojlis thing and it still dosent work | 06:05 |
| bazhang | seetherM, this is an older card? | 06:05 |
| ajhtiredwolf | engineer_, and the second time? | 06:05 |
| engineer_ | ajhtiredwolf, 2nd time after formating all, and installing windows7 and then ubuntu, i told to install them by manual | 06:05 |
| bazhang | jstrake, type the first few letters of the person you wish to communicate with then hit the tab key to autocomplete their nickname, thus highlighting them | 06:05 |
| ajhtiredwolf | engineer_, here is what i would try. I would install iwndows 7, while installing windows 7 i would delete all partitions, then specify a partition for win7 | 06:06 |
| engineer_ | bazhang. kindly tell me how can be gparted usefull, tell me more | 06:06 |
| jstrake | bazhang: thanks. Got it. | 06:06 |
| ajhtiredwolf | engineer_, then when i installed ubuntu I would specificy the swap and root partitions myself | 06:06 |
| seetherM | no | 06:06 |
| seetherM | its new | 06:06 |
| ajhtiredwolf | engineer_, that way you aren't telling ubuntu to touch any part of the win7 loader | 06:06 |
| seetherM | the whole system is brand new | 06:06 |
| seetherM | it came with vista but i deleted it and installed ubuntu | 06:07 |
| seetherM | i'm good at using ubuntu just not good at setting up stuff... | 06:07 |
| losha | jstrake: !tab means to type those 4 characters as the very first thing on the line to see ubottu's recorded message about the tab character. | 06:07 |
| engineer_ | same i did 2nd time, in manual telling, i created a swap for ubuntu and deleted partition and recreated for ubutnu | 06:07 |
| engineer_ | windows 7 loader is already in another drive, of 100mb | 06:07 |
| engineer_ | and its like that | 06:07 |
| bazhang | engineer_, gparted live cd is a 100 mb download (iso) burn iso to cd, boot from it, then format the disk into ntfs and ext3 (jaunty) or ext4 karmic; reboot and replace disk with windows 7 installer disk; install to ntfs partition; repeat with ubuntu cd | 06:08 |
| ajhtiredwolf | engineer_, you created the swap and main partition from free space? | 06:08 |
| losha | jstrake: I just looked at your df. You have 22G in use on /dev/sda5 | 06:08 |
| engineer_ | and strange is that i cant access the files of windows7 boot drive from ubuntu???? | 06:08 |
| engineer_ | bazhang, thanks | 06:08 |
| losha | jstrake: do you want to find out where your space has gone? | 06:08 |
| jstrake | losha: I know. But I can only actually find files for 7.7G and only a few hundred Mb now available. Do you know any whys? http://paste.ubuntu.com/299528/ and http://paste.ubuntu.com/299532/ | 06:09 |
| ajhtiredwolf | bazhang, it sounds like that is what he has already done | 06:09 |
| jstrake | losha: yes. | 06:09 |
| ajhtiredwolf | bazhang, ah well, he left | 06:09 |
| bazhang | engineer_, I had the same exact issue (not being to access the drive) before fixing with gparted method | 06:09 |
| engineer_ | yes, i deleted the partitions that i had created for ubuntu, and then recreated them, reserving one drive for swap and other for ubuntu | 06:09 |
| engineer_ | does it specify any problem? | 06:09 |
| === root is now known as Guest36714 | ||
| bazhang | ajhtiredwolf, ah thanks | 06:09 |
| bazhang | oh wait | 06:09 |
| ajhtiredwolf | rofl | 06:09 |
| ajhtiredwolf | never mind | 06:09 |
| Guest36714 | wa! you talk about ubuntu linux | 06:10 |
| losha | jstrake: ok, open a terminal, and type sudo -i | 06:10 |
| ajhtiredwolf | engineer_, give what bazhang said a try, if that doesn't work i can explain to you have to use the windows 7 boot loader to manage win7 and ubuntuu instead of grub | 06:10 |
| jstrake | losha: okay. | 06:10 |
| losha | jstrake: now do cd / | 06:10 |
| jstrake | then what? | 06:10 |
| jstrake | losha: okay. | 06:11 |
| losha | jstrake: now do: du -x | sort -rn > /tmp/du.out | 06:11 |
| engineer_ | really, how will that be done, i means loading ubntu from windows7 loader? | 06:11 |
| bazhang | seetherM, I'm not familiar with that card, its odd that there is nothing in hardware drivers for it | 06:11 |
| Guest36714 | where is this????????????????/ | 06:11 |
| Guest36714 | why the question all about linux and win7 | 06:11 |
| bazhang | Guest36714, #ubuntu , support for Ubuntu OS | 06:11 |
| engineer_ | and also plz tell me how to fixndows7 boot loader? | 06:11 |
| losha | jstrake: it will take a few minutes, as it scans the whole 23G partition | 06:11 |
| jstrake | losha: okay, processing now. | 06:11 |
| bazhang | Guest36714, random chat in #ubuntu-offtopic please | 06:11 |
| engineer_ | i means how to fix windows7 boot loader? | 06:12 |
| engineer_ | without reinstalling windows7 | 06:12 |
| Guest36714 | fix the mbr | 06:12 |
| Guest36714 | fix the mbr | 06:12 |
| Guest36714 | you can fix the win7 load | 06:12 |
| ajhtiredwolf | engineer_, first give what bazhang said a try | 06:12 |
| gogeta | whos bein bad | 06:12 |
| engineer_ | ok | 06:12 |
| ajhtiredwolf | engineer_, yes you can load ubuntu through the win7 lodaer | 06:12 |
| engineer_ | hows that dones? | 06:12 |
| bazhang | engineer_, basically when I used the method described above, Ubuntu saw the entire Windows 7 partition as the bootloader (of 117GB) | 06:13 |
| Guest36714 | go google | 06:13 |
| ajhtiredwolf | engineer_, well idealy you will use grub so try this first | 06:13 |
| losha | jstrake: when it completes, the file /tmp/du.out will contain a listing, largest first, of every file and directory on /dev/sda5 in order of size. Hopefully it will be obvious where the space is going from the listing | 06:13 |
| bazhang | Guest36714, that is not helpful, please dont suggest it here | 06:13 |
| gogeta | ryguy: and why are you tryin to hide lol | 06:13 |
| engineer_ | ok . i will try. | 06:13 |
| MK13 | engineer_, http://neosmart.net/wiki/display/EBCD/Recovering+the+Vista+Bootloader+from+the+DVD | 06:14 |
| jstrake | losha: okay. Thanks. I'll check the file and probably report back. Tried the disk usage analyzer GUI which supposedly does the same thing... but could only find 7.7G. | 06:14 |
| engineer_ | MK13, thanks | 06:14 |
| ajhtiredwolf | engineer_, I dont know if it still works the same way but in xp and 98 you just had to boot to recovery mdoe and type fixmbr and ntfsldr or something like that, i forget | 06:14 |
| Guest36714 | have chinese in this room ???????????/ | 06:15 |
| losha | jstrake: You aren't the first person to say that, I don't trust any of those gui progs. They seem to be really buggy. | 06:15 |
| bazhang | Guest36714, #ubuntu-cn | 06:15 |
| Atlantic | me | 06:15 |
| MK13 | engineer_, if you don't have the cd, then EasyBCD has the files too | 06:15 |
| Guest36714 | use chinese | 06:15 |
| gogeta | so does supergrub | 06:15 |
| engineer_ | ajhtiredwolf, yes fixmbr works for win98 and xp , i have tried it, but dont know for windows vista or 7 | 06:15 |

| losha | jstrake: feel free to paste the top 10 lines of /tmp/du.out if you need help | 06:16 |
| ae86-drifter | get the precracked torrent with the boot loader | 06:16 |
| ae86-drifter | thats what i did | 06:16 |
| ae86-drifter | but i got rid of windows its ghey | 06:16 |
| gogeta | dam they cracked it aruldy | 06:16 |
| ae86-drifter | yes it has been cracked for about two months now | 06:17 |
| jstrake | losha: okay. pasted at http://paste.ubuntu.com/299544/ | 06:17 |
| engineer_ | ajhtiredwolf, and MK!3, and bazhang, thanks for all help, i hope i come with any solution | 06:17 |

| engineer_ | farewell to me. | 06:17 |
| engineer_ | but onething is for sure, the problems that comes to me, are mostly un solvable, :) | 06:18 |
| ae86-drifter | windows only deserves a vm not an actual partition | 06:18 |
| gogeta | lol | 06:18 |
| bazhang | ae86-drifter, piracy talk is not acceptable here, please desist | 06:18 |
| ajhtiredwolf | ae86-drifter, asking and answering questions would be awesome | 06:18 |
| gogeta | ae86-drifter or a vm on a real paration | 06:18 |
| losha | jstrake: ok, 16G in /var, of which 15G is /var/backup. 3G in /usr, can't do much about that. Next is /home/jonathan with about 2G. Then each individual file in /var/backup. Is any of this making any sense? | 06:18 |
| ae86-drifter | lol anything on your hd is actually on a REAL partition :P | 06:19 |
| ae86-drifter | except for mbr | 06:19 |
| jstrake | losha: yes. Am I safe to delete the /var/backup files? And what is best practice for doing so? | 06:20 |
| gogeta | ae86-drifter i used a vm a real partation and some tricks ro make a usb xp | 06:20 |
| ae86-drifter | oh really, i have backtrack 4 on a bootable usb drive | 06:22 |

| losha | jstrake: well, it depends. What are they backups of? You probably don't want to delete them all. You might wanna keep, say, the two most recent. Do you even know what's creating them? | 06:22 |
| ae86-drifter | err yeah ubuntu.... | 06:22 |

| ae86-drifter | lol | 06:23 |
| jstrake | losha: they are likely backups generated by SimpleBackup--an app I installed earlier and haven't thought of in a while. I will play with the settings for a minute and post the results. | 06:23 |
| ae86-drifter | ubuntu 10.04 is under development | 06:24 |
| losha | jstrake: well, it's good to have backups. But they *do* take up disk space. No thanks to whatever gui told you you're only using 7G, btw... | 06:24 |
| jstrake | losha: no doubt. Thanks for all the help! | 06:24 |
| ae86-drifter | set it to incremental backup | 06:25 |
| ajhtiredwolf | has anyone had the problem of compiz not supporting composite transparancy under LXDE? | 06:25 |
| losha | jstrake: my pleasure. I really need to write this stuff up... | 06:25 |
| ae86-drifter | incremental backups will take up alot less space | 06:25 |
| jstrake | losha: yep, and publish it and make some $$$ | 06:25 |
| losha | jstrake: yeah, that's why I'm on #ubuntu. For the money. Half the time I can't even give advice away free.... | 06:26 |
| jstrake | losha: one more thing: would you mind pastebinning the two commands you showed me for how to find what was eating my drive space? | 06:26 |
| losha | jstrake: you mean: sudo -i; cd /; du -x | sort -rn > /tmp/du.out | 06:27 |
| gogeta | losha yea so mutch money in linux wait thers the repo man dam | 06:27 |
| losha | gogeta: :-) | 06:27 |

| greg | Could someone perhaps help me with a wireless problem in Ubuntu? | 06:36 |
| bazhang | greg, which chipset on the card | 06:36 |
| greg | Broadcom | 06:36 |
| markmq | is there an ubuntu help channel/ | 06:36 |
| gogeta | broadcoms normaly work out of box | 06:37 |
| bazhang | greg, does ifconfig see the card | 06:37 |
| Billiard | this is markmq | 06:37 |
| gogeta | your in it | 06:37 |
| web5|org|ua | bazhang: for english, doesn't matter. | 06:37 |
| bazhang | markmq, this is it | 06:37 |
| greg | It did work out of the box. But then after about a week, it stopped working. | 06:37 |
| bazhang | greg, open a terminal and type ifconfig, do you see it there | 06:37 |
| gogeta | greg go in bios turn back on its some strange happning in 9.04 | 06:37 |
| greg | It says that wireless is disabled in (I think) iwconfig | 06:37 |
| greg | This is in 8.04 | 06:37 |
| greg | HP ships Mini 110-1000 with 8.04 | 06:38 |
| bazhang | greg, is there a wireless shutoff switch on the machine | 06:38 |
| markmq | okay then quick question. when I launch ubuntu from disk it askes if I want to install hardware for my wireless card. now that I've installed it doesn't see it or give me any option like this | 06:38 |
| greg | Yes there is one, it has a little LED light on it. | 06:38 |
| greg | That light is blue until I log in, then it turns orange. | 06:38 |
| greg | Which means that somehow logging in turns off the wireless. | 06:38 |
| markmq | I figured plugging it in via ethernet might trigger something | 06:39 |
| greg | Whereas when it worked before, it stayed blue. | 06:39 |
| markmq | if I go to system -> hardware drivers. nothing is listed | 06:39 |
| web5|org|ua | why pos and size don't remember ? | 06:39 |
| chetnick | where is .bashrc file in ubuntu 9.04? It's not in home dir. | 06:39 |
| gogeta | greg turn it back on? | 06:39 |
| markmq | is there a way to make it prob or somethign to that effect? | 06:39 |
| greg | It is a switch with a spring that slides back. I have slid it dozens of times and nothing happens. | 06:40 |
| harisund | Is there anyway I can see a current Gnome desktop session from another machine, like Windows' remote desktop? (Aside from VNC ... unless I can change resolution through VNC) | 06:40 |
| gogeta | greg try sudo ifconfig wlan0 up | 06:40 |
| losha | greg: still waiting to see your answer to bazhang's question.... | 06:40 |
| markmq | anyone? | 06:40 |
| greg | Okay I will get that laptop and see. | 06:40 |
| gogeta | wlan0 is whatever your card uses | 06:41 |
| web5|org|ua | ubuntu don't remember pos & size after closing apps !? Why ? | 06:41 |

| vtec_ | Hello I'm trying to make my Ubuntu windows transparent, I have jaunty 9.04 and compiz, how can I do this? I've seen pictures of Ubuntu with transparent windows | 06:41 |
| bazhang | vtec_, do you have ccsm installed | 06:42 |
| chetnick | where is .bashrc file in ubuntu 9.04? It's not in home dir. | 06:42 |
| greg | Yes it is wlan0 | 06:42 |
| vtec_ | yes I do bazhang | 06:42 |
| orly_owl | I installed Jaunty on a Toshiba laptop and the left click does not work. It's not a hardware issue because I plugged ina mouse and it still didn't work. How do I fix this? | 06:42 |
| Billiard | chetnick: home dir | 06:42 |
| markmq | yes it is in your home dir | 06:42 |
| bazhang | vtec_, that is one of the plugins iirc you may wish to get expert advice in #compiz if no one here knows | 06:42 |
| chetnick | Billiard: do you have it there? | 06:43 |
| markmq | ~/.bashrc | 06:43 |
| Billiard | chetnick: yep | 06:43 |
| chetnick | cause i dont have one. | 06:43 |
| orly_owl | Sorry, IBM, not Toshiba. | 06:43 |
| markmq | gedit ~/.bashtv | 06:43 |
| markmq | err | 06:43 |
| Billiard | chetnick: it starts with a . its hidden | 06:43 |
| markmq | gedit ~/.bashrc | 06:43 |
| chetnick | i know. its not there | 06:43 |
| Billiard | chetnick: then you deleted it | 06:43 |
| markmq | open up a terminal | 06:43 |
| chetnick | i only have .bash_history and .bash_logout | 06:43 |
| markmq | then type : ls -al | 06:43 |
| orly_owl | I installed Jaunty on an IBM laptop and the left click does not work. It's not a hardware issue because I plugged ina mouse and it still didn't work. How do I fix this? | 06:43 |
| greg | Okay I ran ifconfig. What am I looking for again? Or what options to ifconfig? | 06:44 |
| bazhang | greg, it is seen as wlan0 in ifconfig? do you have an AP to test it on? | 06:44 |
| chetnick | i have never deleted .bashrc | 06:44 |
| gogeta | greg sudo ifconfig wlan0 up | 06:44 |
| chetnick | i am using Januty, if that makes difference | 06:44 |
| tntc | I've got a rather odd problem: I have an external hard disk that shows up in dmesg, can be cfdisk, and can be manually mounted, but won't show up in Places, etc, unless it's mounted by hand. Another disk, formatted with the same FS, shows up fine. They are literally identical models of disk, both with NTFS on them. Why would one show up and not the other? | 06:44 |
| greg | There is a wlan0 paragraph in ifconfig. | 06:44 |
| augten | chetnick: try "locate .bash" ? | 06:44 |
| gogeta | greg should tell it to turn the card back on | 06:44 |
| Billiard | chetnick: if you want it back `cp /etc/skel/.bashrc ~/` | 06:44 |
| greg | How do I tell it to turn the card back on? | 06:44 |
| bazhang | greg, okay great; do you have a wifi hotspot to test it on | 06:44 |
| gogeta | command i just gave you | 06:45 |
| greg | Yes I have my own house wireless | 06:45 |
| chetnick | Billiard: thanks | 06:45 |
| chetnick | that works. | 06:45 |
| greg | gogeta Thanks for that command! Unf. it scrolled by and I am not used to this stupid IRC client. | 06:45 |
| greg | Oh right | 06:45 |
| greg | sudo ifconfig wlan0 up | 06:45 |
| bazhang | greg, normally sudo dhclient wlan0 if it is not encrypted, I will get you a link on how to set it manually if it is encrypted | 06:45 |
| gogeta | yep | 06:45 |

| markmq | okay if I live boot my ubuntu cd it identifys my wireless card and allows me to install the restricted drivers | 06:46 |
| greg | Well one thing is that that this system is running NetworkManager. | 06:46 |
| greg | Yes my house wireless does have a wep key. | 06:47 |
| bazhang | markmq, install the wireless drivers on the livecd? | 06:47 |
| markmq | now that I've installed I don't get that option from System -> hardware drivers | 06:47 |
| gogeta | greg as long as the light is blue again the gui should wrok from there | 06:47 |
| greg | ifconfig wlan0 up reported nothing. | 06:47 |
| greg | gogeta the light is orange | 06:47 |
| markmq | well bazhang it automatically indentified my card for me, I wouldn't know which driver or even begin to know how to do that | 06:47 |
| gogeta | then its on | 06:47 |
| greg | I ran dhclient wlan0 but the light stayed orange. | 06:47 |
| greg | gogeta No orange means off. blue means on. | 06:47 |
| markmq | bazhang, its not like there is a device manager type application that notices my uninstalled hardware | 06:48 |
| bazhang | greg, well, with wep you should check the link I gave you | 06:48 |
| tntc | greg: hp laptop? | 06:48 |

| bigfootbuilt | Firefox fresh install question...I had to completely remove all traces of Firefox, but anytime I try to do a fresh install, Firefox won't connect to any sites. When launching from the terminal, I get a long list of error messages that seem to suggest some libraries re missing...what is the first step in installing Firefox that I am missing? | 06:48 |
| lstarnes | bigfootbuilt: how did you install it? | 06:48 |
| bigfootbuilt | Package manager | 06:48 |
| greg | bazhang Your link is very interesting, but it scrolled by a long time ago. Could you repeat please? | 06:48 |
| bazhang | bigfootbuilt, which version of ff how installed | 06:48 |

| uio | im using ubuntu feisty | 06:49 |
| greg | bazhang Thanks! | 06:49 |
| bigfootbuilt | I hear we can't just install 3.5 first | 06:49 |
| bazhang | uio, that is no longer supported, get a more recent support version | 06:49 |
| tntc | greg: I dunno about your netbook, but on my full size one, the wireless card light stays orange even when the card is working. | 06:49 |
| uio | how about in dapper? | 06:49 |
| lstarnes | bigfootbuilt: you can go to 3.5 without going to 3.1 first | 06:49 |
| bigfootbuilt | Thru package manager? | 06:49 |
| lstarnes | bigfootbuilt: 3.0 is the default in ubuntu 8.04-9.04 | 06:50 |
| greg | ttnc Well the thing is that this is a modified ubuntu for HP , and on the other one we have, it is blue. Also for this one, when it worked. | 06:50 |

| greg | bazhang the instructions at your link have an <interface>. What do I use for that? wlan0 or eth0? | 06:51 |
| bazhang | greg, wlan0 | 06:51 |
| greg | tntc No it doesn't. Not any more. | 06:51 |
| greg | bazhang thanks. | 06:51 |
| lstarnes | bigfootbuilt: look for firefox-3.5 | 06:51 |
| bigfootbuilt | vtec_ You can customize the terminal window to use transparency | 06:52 |
| vtec_ | Bigfoot, I would like for ALL of my things to be transparent | 06:52 |
| bigfootbuilt | vtec_: there is an option in the terminal menus that you can make it transparent, not sure about the rest of the windows | 06:52 |
| vtec_ | not just the terminal | 06:52 |
| bigfootbuilt | lstarnes: thanks, but I think I already tried that to no avail. There is some other files that seem to be missing | 06:53 |
| lstarnes | bigfootbuilt: there's also firefox-3.5-gnome-support | 06:53 |

| markmq | this is frustrating | 06:54 |
| bigfootbuilt | lstarnes: Ya, I selected that, and the gnome package. I only removed the packages that were related to Firefox. Nothing else. But when I open firefox from terminal window, I see a long list of errors suggesting I am missing some type of library files | 06:54 |
| markmq | how do I make it discover my wireless card ARGH! | 06:54 |
| lstarnes | fotoflo: check apt-cache search libgd | 06:54 |

| greg | bazhang Can't know if I did the key line correctlly. | 06:55 |
| bigfootbuilt | It is on another computer, but I will see what I can do | 06:55 |
| iCarly | mdavidn, I have ccsm but idk where to go t make it like that | 06:55 |
| bazhang | greg, if you paste.ubuntu.com with them we can check | 06:55 |
| bazhang | iCarly, could be the plugin opacify ; not sure though--best to ascertain in #compiz | 06:56 |
| mdavidn | iCarly: unfortunately, I'm running in a VM and can't check now | 06:57 |
| bazhang | quimkaos, what does linuxprinting.org say about that printer? is scanning supported in Linux | 06:57 |
| uio | bazhang: the problem is i dont have sufficient memory at the moment to do an upgrade..you know what is the best workaround? | 06:57 |
| greg | bazhang unf. I have to first find a cable for what I am doing. | 06:57 |
| fotoflo | lstarnes: too much info there -- to many choices | 06:58 |
| bigfootbuilt | lstarnes: Strange...See a minimized window that says "starting firefox browser" and it won't maximize. It sits there for a few seconds then disappears | 06:58 |
| iCarly | no problem mdavidn | 06:58 |
| bazhang | uio, my apologies, I forgot what you wanted to upgrade on your box | 06:58 |

| lstarnes | bigfootbuilt: what do you get from which firefox and which firefox-3.5? | 07:02 |
| bigfootbuilt | lstrnes: If I type "firefox", it gets that error I showed you. If I type "mozilla", it says "mozilla not currently installed. You can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install seamonkey-browser"??? | 07:03 |
| lstarnes | bigfootbuilt: mozilla is not firefox | 07:03 |

| bigfootbuilt | lstarnes: have you ever heard of the "seamonkey"? | 07:03 |
| bazhang | quimkaos, did you check the link I gave you for scanning support with that all-in one printer | 07:04 |
| lstarnes | bigfootbuilt: it's a community-maintained fork of the mozilla suite | 07:04 |
| quimkaos | no | 07:04 |
| lstarnes | bigfootbuilt: what output do you get from "which firefox" and "which firefox-3.5" ? | 07:04 |
| quimkaos | what link | 07:04 |
| toot | When I say it crashes, it repeats a half-second of sound over and over again to infinity, and no response at all from anything. no numlock lights change. | 07:04 |

| stuhlbein | hello! somehow i managed to screw up my root partition on ubuntu by doing a misconfigured installation of uClibc. and since i'm not able to boot it anymore (i got a huge bunch of ld.so-related assertion-failures, and a kernelpanic) i don't really want to rescue the root partition, but my /home partition. would i be able to do this with ubuntu 7.04, or should i grad jaunty instead? i really, REALLY don't want to lose my home partition. :( | 07:24 |
| Billiard | stuhlbein: you can reinstall without formatting your home partition | 07:25 |

| navap | iarp: You there? | 07:25 |
| maco | stuhlbein: 1. 7.04 is end of life. hasn had security updates in a LONG time...so you should at least go to 8.04 | 07:25 |
| Gratz474 | its supposed to be a performance improvement? | 07:25 |
| stuhlbein | Billiard: okay | 07:26 |
| maco | stuhlbein: 2. 8.04 and newer can install on the same partition without losing /home directory. if you actually have a /home partition, any version is fine | 07:26 |
| stuhlbein | maco: yeah, i do have infact /home as a independent partiton, but i didn't see any option to use it in 7.04, that's why i asked... anyway, i already downloaded a copy of 9.04, so i think i'll try it with 9.04 | 07:27 |

| ActionParsnip | jkka: its a WM | 07:46 |
| Tehedra | Which is better, KDE or GNOME? | 07:46 |
| mdavidn | "screen" can split the your console to display multiple shells. | 07:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Tehedra: both and neither | 07:46 |
| Tehedra | GNOME i understand is the ubuntu default, but KDE has more features? Though more issues? | 07:46 |
| Bluey | Tehedra: that's a religious holy warmmm | 07:46 |
| bazhang | Tehedra, #ubuntu-offtopic please | 07:46 |

| jamiewan | ActionParsnip: so i can tell devede to iso an avi file then burn it that way | 08:00 |
| ActionParsnip | jamiewan: no, you make a totle page, each menu option plays an avi (or avis) | 08:01 |
| ActionParsnip | jamiewan: give it a background and some menu music if you want too, then tell it to run | 08:01 |
| jamiewan | ActionParsnip: ok thanx mate | 08:02 |
| ActionParsnip | jamiewan: it'll take a while depending on how beefy your system is, my 1.6Ghz single core with 2Gb ram takes about 5 hours to do its thang | 08:02 |
| ActionParsnip | jamiewan: when its done you will have an iso you can throw at your favourite burning app and it will be good for any player | 08:02 |

| milligan_ | prince_jammys, you are right .. it would run every minute.. I hope it didn't,hehe. | 08:13 |

| Pranav | After booting from Ubuntu to Xp or vice versa, I need to adjust the dislocated screen from the monitor display keys. Any solution guyz ... ;( | 08:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Pranav: keep it so one OS is OK then adjust the screen position in the other OS | 08:18 |
| Pranav | ActionParsnip, Sry I didn't get ? | 08:19 |
| === Bruno is now known as Brunno | ||
| ActionParsnip | Pranav: well both OS have the screen a different way, yes | 08:19 |
| duckx0r | Pranav, you need to configure both OS's to use exactly the same resolution, horizontal refresh and vertical refresh | 08:19 |
| ActionParsnip | so you leave the screen so it is ok for one othe the OSes | 08:19 |
| ActionParsnip | Pranav: then use some grahical tool in the other to make it like the position the monitor is in, rather than manually moving the monitor | 08:20 |
| ActionParsnip | as well as what duckx0r says as that can shift the screen too | 08:21 |
| Pranav | ActionParsnip, tools like ? | 08:21 |
| bigfootbuilt | test | 08:21 |
| duckx0r | pong | 08:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Pranav: i dont know any. I dont mess with displays or dual boot | 08:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Pranav: windows may have one so you can shift the screen. I know nvidia have it | 08:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Pranav: basically you need to play with software and settings so your image is right, rather than using the OSD on your monitor. | 08:23 |
| duckx0r | ActionParsnip, that can only shift the screen within the actual viewing area anyway, so if the viewing area is off the edge of the monitor i don't think that any software can correct that | 08:23 |

| mohitcs35 | hey can any one give me a run through to configure my atheros wireless on my samsung notebook? | 08:23 |

| Pranav | duckx0r, I have same resolution and refresh rate in both but I doubt about hor. Hz and Ver. Hz in windows..! | 08:24 |

| toothdecay | Hey all, maybe a question someone can answer quickly... How do I change the default kernel selected on bootup, I'd like to permanently use the real time kernel... I've tried to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst but it doesn't exsist. I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 rc | 08:24 |
| vox | toothdecay: join #ubuntu+1 for karmic support | 08:25 |
| duckx0r | Pranav, maybe there might be some sort of windows tool you can download to tell you what the horizontal and vertical refresh rates are and more detailed specs about the monitor. I don't know though. If you find it, you could just configure your xorg.conf to be the same | 08:25 |

| Gratz474 | hey_boy, run glxgears from command line tell me what you get | 08:34 |

| duckx0r | what would cause my working ati drivers to suddenly uninstall themselves? | 08:41 |
| Nemoder | ActionParsnip: that's where I'm confused, the server doesn't even get sent anything, it's like ubuntu's internal resolver is broken | 08:41 |
| ActionParsnip | mohitcs35: you are compiling the diver for the card | 08:41 |

| Guest97369 | a query regarding samba server. I have two users at the server aman and I am using security = user parameter.

| ActionParsnip | Guest97369: in the smb.conf you need to tell the service to not allow the other user name | 08:43 |

| Gratz474 | see if you see a bunch of resolutions | 09:07 |
| coz_ | theadmin, ok the bad part of this is that I have very little experience with ati cards...I am generally nvidia..however if no one else can help here I suggest going to the #ati channel if you are not usre how to get there...where you type here just tyep /join #ati | 09:07 |
| Gratz474 | hey_boy, you should see a bunch of resolutions supported | 09:08 |
| theadmin | coz_ Thanks. I know how to join, by the way, how on earth would i get here then? | 09:08 |
| coz_ | theadmin, or go to #compiz and talk with adamk althought I think he is not logged on right now or not at his system yet | 09:08 |
| hey_boy | gratz474: where | 09:08 |
| Gratz474 | hey_boy, change intel in the xorg to maybe i810 if that does not work then i am not soo sure, as it always worked with intel for me but mine is like 5 months newer then taht one | 09:09 |

| coz_ | theadmin, actually I believe they all transition to runlevel 6 | 09:12 |
| theadmin | coz_ I think it's 0. | 09:12 |
| theadmin | 6 is reboot :D, 0 is shutdown. | 09:12 |
| coz_ | theadmin, you are correct and answered your own qutestion :) | 09:13 |
| andrewfree | so I ran this command "root@freekbox:/var/www# cp -Rf /var/www /backup" and it looks like it worked when I viewed /backup but the command never returns a new prompt. It just looks like its working. but I know var/www is not bigger then 10MB so it cant take this long | 09:13 |
| coz_ | question | 09:13 |
| jimbeam12 | hey all wsup | 09:14 |
| coz_ | theadmin, I am going to guess that "halt" is an alias for reboot | 09:15 |

| lucent | system4041: chroot is what you need to learn about | 09:42 |
| coz_ | CHESLYN, a pentium can survive an amd will die so the answer is no it will not run for long and certainly wont last | 09:42 |
| coz_ | system4041, hold on | 09:42 |
| system4041 | lucent: i would jut like to edit grub so as to edit out the new krnal as it aint working for | 09:43 |
| system4041 | coz_: thanks | 09:43 |
| coz_ | system4041, well in the live cd open a terminal sudo grub | 09:43 |
| mikebeecham | thanks Jordan_U | 09:44 |
| CHESLYN | coz_: no because i had a pentium that runs with out a fan on the CPU | 09:44 |
| coz_ | system4041, I am not sure about editing it this way though | 09:44 |
| system4041 | coz_: will that open my distros grub though | 09:44 |
| lucent | system4041: sorry that the other help isn't correct :P | 09:44 |
| coz_ | system4041, well not sure you could try sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 09:44 |
| coz_ | system4041, but you can do that in the system itself ...edit the file...then restart x | 09:44 |
| Frickelpit | system4041: you can edit the menu.lst of your System by mounting your System-Device to /mnt/sda and then editing with sudo nano /mnt/sda/boot/grub/menu.lst | 09:45 |
| lucent | system4041: I suggest that you find help that tells you how to mount your partition, and use 'chroot' command | 09:45 |
| coz_ | system4041, generally I use the live cd to reinstall grub | 09:45 |
| system4041 | coz_: the system is crashing only have access via live cd | 09:45 |
| coz_ | system4041, ok then maybe reinstall grub | 09:45 |

| system4041 | i just want to edit my grub file thats all | 09:48 |
| imyousuf | lucent: changed it means? | 09:49 |
| lucent | imyousuf: you repeated yourself a lot of times so I thought, maybe you forgot what time it was, and I changed your clock | 09:49 |
| coz_ | system4041, then I suggest going to #grub channel I am sure they can offer more options :) | 09:49 |
| system4041 | how do i point the terminal to my grub file via live cd in order to edit it | 09:49 |
| geirha | imyousuf: Theer was a mention of bangladesh in the changelog: aptitude changelog tzdata | 09:49 |
| lucent | imyousuf: now your clock is set so you can move on, it is better if you can think of other people in your life who listen to you repeat yourself, um, repeatedly | 09:49 |
| system4041 | coz_: ill try #grub cheers | 09:49 |
| Frickelpit | system4041: I wrote it, just mount your System-Partition and move to the Path, where the menu.lst is. | 09:50 |
| imyousuf | lucent: Sorry but I can not follow you mean to say? changing the clock is *BUG* | 09:50 |
| imyousuf | the time zone in our country is UTC +7 | 09:50 |
| coz_ | system4041, just in case http://www.speedyshare.com/205453325.html | 09:50 |
| imyousuf | so lucent if the tzdata is updated as UTC +6 its a plain and simple *BUG* | 09:51 |
| Xterm_ | <DJones> I got extra alerts -> blink in tray etc when I right click on channel name (in the left window of XChat? | 09:51 |
| CHESLYN | coz_: can you maybe say how long approximately does it take to burn the chip? | 09:51 |
| imyousuf | geirha: Any idea where I can find the changelog? | 09:51 |
| system4041 | Frickelpit: where is the menu.lst | 09:51 |
| coz_ | CHESLYN, depends on the cpu and how long you run it without a fan | 09:51 |
| geirha | imyousuf: Type in a terminal: aptitude changelog tzdata | 09:51 |
| DJones | Xterm_: Give me a minute, I'm not using xchat, let me try and start it up and check on mine | 09:51 |
| Frickelpit | system4041: /boot/grub/menu.lst on your System-Partition | 09:52 |
| coz_ | CHESLYN, you are running the risk of overheating the system and motherboard exposing other chips to overheating and likely burning up | 09:52 |
| Xterm_ | <DJones> will do... Take your time... | 09:52 |
| Lint01 | how can I install grub from live CD? If it is possible, will it corrupt existing loader? | 09:52 |
| vtec_ | i am looking to make my Ubuntu 9.04 windows transparent like in some pictures I have seen, I have compiz if that is helpful information...can anyone help? I'd like to have my windows open and see most of my desktop background at the same time | 09:53 |
| DeFi | hi everyone, does anyone know how i can set the same interface to be brought up multiple times at boot? (a PPP interface)? | 09:53 |
| === vtec_ is now known as icarly | ||
| imyousuf | Thanks geirha, yes there is a mention of it and I think its should fixed :) | 09:53 |
| coz_ | CHESLYN, although this is not a hardware troubleshooting channel ....if the fan is not working...shut down the system...take out the fan.... get a bowl deep enough to cover the fan fill it wil alcohol and switch the fan around...there is a slight chance it is just dirty | 09:53 |
| system4041 | Frickelpit: Could not save the file /media/disk/boot/grub/menu.lst. | 09:53 |
| geirha | imyousuf: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tzdata/+bug/456322 | 09:53 |
| coz_ | CHESLYN, just be sure the fan is completely dry before turning on the system, | 09:53 |
| system4041 | need to open it from terminal with sudo do i | 09:54 |
| DJones | Xterm_: On 8.04 with xchat 2.84, if i right click on the channel name I get show join/part messages as an option on the first menu that comes up | 09:54 |
| ActionParsnip1 | system4041: gksudo if you are using a gui app | 09:54 |
| Frickelpit | system4041: shure, you need sudo to save the file, just type sudo nano /media/disk/boot/grub/menu.lst | 09:54 |
| Xterm_ | <DJones> Strange... Exakt WHERE do you right click on channelname? | 09:55 |
| DeFi | Does anyone know how i can set the same interface to be brought up multiple times at boot? (a PPP interface) | 09:56 |
| DJones | Xterm_: On the left tab, you should have the server list and channels that are open | 09:56 |
| lucent | DeFi: apparently not. | 09:56 |
| lucent | DeFi: keep trying though, you're alienating anyone who might have the expertise to answer your question. | 09:56 |
| DJones | Xterm_: perhaps tab is the wrong description, its the left window pane | 09:56 |
| Xterm_ | If I click on channelname in upper left Window of Xchat I get a menu with Channelname in blue | extra alerts | settings | remove from favourites | detach | close | 09:56 |
| Lint01 | how can I install grub from live CD, keeping existing boot loader? | 09:56 |
| DeFi | lucent: hopefully someone will, people are joining and leaving all the time... im not alienating anyone. | 09:56 |
| xinen007 | ;-) | 09:57 |
| Xterm_ | ok. Then we are probably loking at the same "server name" I would also describe it as the left pane | 09:57 |
| imyousuf | thanks a lot geirha, commenting on the issue | 09:57 |
| DJones | Xterm_: Try clicking on the extra alerts, it might be that which will bring up an extra menu | 09:57 |
| CHESLYN | coz_: you know what ? i had a pentium that was running with a broken fan for mouths now im not sure whats happening | 09:57 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Lint01: grub is a bootloader so by installing grub you will install grub over the existing boot loader | 09:57 |
| system4041 | Frickelpit: ive edited out the new kernal gonna reboot now fingers crossed i get no more crashes | 09:58 |
| coz_ | CHESLYN, mm well I suggest cleaning or replacing the fan | 09:58 |
| Xterm_ | <DJones> Extra alerts -> Beep on message | Blink tray icon | Blink taskbar | 09:58 |
| Xterm_ | Nothing else there | 09:58 |
| Frickelpit | system4041: good luck :) | 09:58 |
| DJones | Xterm_: What about if you click on settings | 09:58 |
| bazhang | Xterm_, right click channel settings | 09:59 |
| Lint01 | all bootloaders can call another one way or another. Will grub backup present bootsector upon installation? | 09:59 |
| bazhang | Xterm_, hide join/part messages | 09:59 |
| DJones | Xterm_: what version of xchat are you using? click on help and about | 09:59 |
| CHESLYN | coz_: but i think it can still go for mouths or years like this ....mm wow ne | 09:59 |
| bazhang | CHESLYN, please take chat to #ubuntu-offtopic | 10:00 |
| muszek | hi... a mouse cursor is invisible (it works as usual, only I can't see it) after todays updates. any hints? I'm on jaunty. | 10:00 |
| Xterm_ | <DJones> Oh.. there it is! Thanks! I must gone blind there! | 10:00 |
| DJones | Xterm_: At least you got there | 10:00 |
| Xterm_ | now the channel calmed down :-) | 10:00 |
| CHESLYN | baxhang: thanks gut i'm Finnish | 10:00 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Lint01: dont think so | 10:01 |
| ActionParsnip1 | muszek: are you using an nvidia gfx card? | 10:01 |
| bazhang | CHESLYN, this is ubuntu support; for random chat (ie hardware, etc) #ubuntu-offtopic | 10:01 |
| muszek | ActionParsnip1: nope, intel x3100 | 10:01 |
| Lint01 | ok, so how to install it anyway? | 10:01 |
| CHESLYN | baxhang: i know toe | 10:02 |
| ActionParsnip1 | !grub | Lint01 | 10:02 |
| ubottu | Lint01: 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 | 10:02 |
| Xterm_ | Ok.. my other question is about screenlets. I autostart thre scrennlets. But from time to time some of them gets its settings reverted to default. I have looked in .screenlets (because thats the place where they got imported to) but I can't find any config data (like placements, color etc) for them there. Where does this kind of data gets stored? | 10:02 |
| muszek | it happened right after dist-upgrade ("partial upgrade" in update-manager's terminology). I rebooted (kernel was upgraded) and the cursor was gone. I rebooted again just to make sure it's not a one-time thing. | 10:03 |
| ActionParsnip1 | muszek: is it the same with all mouse themes? | 10:04 |
| muszek | wow... it just magically re-appeared (I didn't do anything) | 10:04 |
| system4041 | woo it worked | 10:04 |
| muszek | ActionParsnip1: I haven't gotten to changing mouse themes (although I changed the "generic" themes in hope mouse theme is reloaded as well) | 10:05 |

| srinath | all the things r working except sound | 10:15 |
| srinath | so can anyone help me with that? | 10:15 |
| etfb | srinath: A common complaint (possibly the commonest, though I thought it had gotten better). What have you tried so far? | 10:15 |
| srinath | tried downloading and installing some alsa drivers | 10:16 |
| srinath | but did not worked | 10:16 |

| Xterm_ | srinath don't meen to sound laike a dumbas but have you tried to google your soundcard (or laptop model if it's a laptop) + ubuntu... Usualy you get good hits and realy good tutorials.. I have solved all my sound problems like that | 10:17 |
| srinath | help needed | 10:17 |
| === manolo is now known as manolo_2 | ||
| etfb | srinath: I agree with Xterm_ - that's how I found solutions (or, in the case of the Acer laptop I had, found out that there ARE no solutions). | 10:18 |
| manolo_2 | (sorry, rewriting) hi to all. I'm creating a new presentation with images and notes but i'm unable to see them | 10:18 |
| lucent | lowlycoder: uh, Ubuntu 9.12 is due next year and includes support for fantom sewing machines that can order doublesided velcro when you command it to with your voice | 10:18 |
| etfb | manolo_2: Don't repeat yourself. Nobody's answering because nobody (yet) understands your question well enough. Explain it a different way. | 10:18 |
| manolo_2 | etfb sorry, I was not spamming... I just had some kind of error message as (NickServ registration) so that I thought my messages was not sent | 10:20 |
| etfb | manolo_2: Fair enough; my apologies. It looks like the channel had some kind of a hiccup just a second ago. | 10:20 |
| manolo_2 | etfb: thanks for advicing that my question was not clear. Can I make it clearer? which part is not? | 10:21 |
| etfb | manolo_2: So: explain. What do you mean when you say you can't see anything? Screen is blank, program is not running, eyes have been poked out...? | 10:21 |
| hey_boy | How do I install proprietary drivers for my VGA (onboard Intel 845) | 10:21 |
| etfb | manolo_2: Also: what software are you using? | 10:21 |
| lucent | hey_boy: good luck finding any? | 10:22 |
| ActionParsnip1 | hey_boy: i suggest this if you are using jaunty: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReinhardTartler/X/RevertingIntelDriverTo2.4 | 10:22 |
| lucent | Intel drivers are open source and not proprietary | 10:22 |
| lucent | am I mistaken? | 10:22 |
| hey_boy | I am on Karmic | 10:22 |
| ActionParsnip1 | hey_boy: the intel drivers are open | 10:22 |
| ActionParsnip1 | hey_boy: then you are in the wrong channel | 10:22 |
| ActionParsnip1 | hey_boy: /j #ubuntu+1 | 10:22 |
| ActionParsnip1 | hey_boy: your release isnt supported here | 10:23 |
| etfb | hey_boy: Also: take a step back (when talking on the other channel) and explain _why_ you want to do that. | 10:23 |
| manolo_2 | etfb: Using OO.org 3.1.1 build 9420 on Ubuntu Jaunty. The problem is that I insert IMMAGES and NOTES but I?M UNABLE to see them when I run the presentation pressing F5 key | 10:23 |
| manolo_2 | s/I?M/I'M | 10:24 |
| etfb | hey_boy: It's like: you're trying to cook a cake, and so you go and ask "how do I set my flamethrower to 350 degrees?" when really you should explain what you're doing and people will gently suggest you use an oven instead... | 10:24 |
| indus | hey_boy: i will help u | 10:24 |
| etfb | manolo_2: Do you see placeholders? What about other stuff - text and so on? | 10:24 |
| manolo_2 | etfb: I just see a white page or a page with the template background, just in case | 10:25 |
| manolo_2 | etfb: I do see text in pages | 10:25 |
| lucent | etfb: explain FAIL. An obvious use of a flamethrower is to bake a cake, but those bastards won't release the source code and this is not the place to discuss licensing issues ;) | 10:25 |
| etfb | manolo_2: Might be worth asking on an OOO channel. Does anyone know of one on freenode? (Loading the channel list takes ages...) | 10:25 |
| hey_boy | indus: On Karmic, system with Onboard Intel845 VGA, resolutions above 800x are not available. | 10:26 |

| lucent | jo__: rc.local makes sense | 10:28 |
| jo__ | ActionParsnip1: but I thought there is auto eth1:N for | 10:28 |
| ActionParsnip1 | jo__: maybe it needs the extra nudge, rc.local is processed last so should fix you up automagically | 10:29 |
| jo__ | doesnt it work for virtual devices? | 10:29 |
| jo__ | or do I misunderstand? | 10:29 |
| ActionParsnip1 | jo__: auto ethX:Y means the device should be up on boot | 10:29 |
| ActionParsnip1 | jo__: i am unsure for virtuals | 10:30 |

| lucent | etfb: yeah | 10:40 |
| lucent | etfb: makes sense, doesn't it? | 10:40 |
| lucent | it's just a number, don't care what it is | 10:40 |
| ActionParsnip1 | theadmin: you get people with netbooks on 4Gb HDDs with like 6 kernels and they wonder why they gots no space | 10:40 |
| etfb | lucent: Trouble is that it's adapting: suppose there's a "real" amount of charge that we'll call X. Today, it might think that's 20%. Tomorrow, it will think it's 15%. | 10:41 |
| theadmin | ActionParsnip1: Well, i'd expect an upgrade to remove the old version of any soft. | 10:41 |
| lucent | etfb: if you don't want my help, ok. | 10:41 |
| ActionParsnip1 | theadmin: its not an upgrade, its a seperate app | 10:41 |
| theadmin | ...then why does it show up in upgrade manager!? | 10:42 |
| etfb | lucent: Well, it wasn't quite the answer to the question I asked, is all. I was kind of hoping there was a way to force the battery to reassess its own assumptions... | 10:42 |

| ActionParsnip1 | theadmin: as it is a later version number but a kernel is a very key piece of softare so if you upgraded it to be the only kernel and you didnt have something to roll back yo you would be heavily screwed | 10:42 |
| ActionParsnip1 | theadmin: its not some high level crappy inconsequential app like a browser | 10:43 |
| ActionParsnip1 | theadmin: so they are kept | 10:43 |
| theadmin | ActionParsnip1: Damn. Can i opt out of kernel upgrades for a while somehow? | 10:43 |
| etfb | theadmin: Indeed - ActionParsnip1 is 100% correct (my battery would say 140% correct). One thing that breaks a lot is suspend/resume. To debug it, it's useful to have old kernels around. | 10:44 |
| ActionParsnip1 | theadmin: sure you can tell apt to lock the version number and the package will be ignored | 10:44 |
| theadmin | ActionParsnip1: Please tell me how. | 10:44 |
| ActionParsnip1 | theadmin: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-apt-get.en.html#s-pin | 10:45 |

| tapas | hi, i have a dell laptop here and sometimes clicks just don't get through anymore | 10:47 |
| nigel | hello | 10:47 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Lint01: http://www.adobe.com/go/EN_US-H-GET-READER | 10:47 |
| tapas | it seems as if a mouse button release [on the touchpad buttons] gets lost | 10:47 |
| tapas | then one window is stuck with the focus | 10:47 |
| tapas | and nothing really works anymore | 10:47 |
| tapas | even alt-tab, etc.. | 10:47 |
| theadmin | so... | 10:47 |
| ActionParsnip1 | tapas: are you running desktop effects? | 10:48 |
| tapas | ActionParsnip1: nope. i think i turned them off | 10:48 |
| tapas | lemme restart X11 to check | 10:48 |
| tapas | ActionParsnip1: visual effects: none | 10:49 |
| tapas | they only ever bother me.. so i turn them off instinctively ;) | 10:49 |
| ActionParsnip1 | me too | 10:50 |
| ActionParsnip1 | that stuf can also interrupt mouse input, very annoying | 10:50 |
| nigel | i have an opensolairs nfs server, but for the life of me I cant get the ubuntu to client to connect | 10:50 |
| tapas | yeah.. but now i have just normal gnome, no effects.. | 10:50 |
| ActionParsnip1 | tapas: does the mouse click create an event in xev? | 10:50 |
| theadmin | Like this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/299678/ ? | 10:50 |
| tapas | ActionParsnip1: i can't check when it's stuck.. | 10:50 |
| tapas | because i can't get focus to xev.. | 10:50 |
| Avash | !why | 10:51 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about why | 10:51 |
| ActionParsnip1 | theadmin: never dont it dude so yuo know more than me | 10:51 |
| tapas | and also it happens usually after like 1/2 hour of use | 10:51 |
| ActionParsnip1 | tapas: then when it happens quickly open a terminal and run: dmesg | tail | 10:51 |
| tapas | ActionParsnip1: ok.. | 10:51 |
| ActionParsnip1 | tapas: should give a clue | 10:51 |
| tapas | maybe i find something in /var/log/dmesg | 10:51 |
| Avash | ! why | 10:51 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about why | 10:51 |

| Avash | ! botabuse ubottu | 10:52 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about botabuse ubottu | 10:52 |
| tapas | ActionParsnip1: i guess it's probably a bug in the input driver missing a button release event | 10:52 |

| Avash | how to make bots | 10:59 |
| ActionParsnip1 | tapas: you could use xorg.conf to set options so it doesnt choke | 11:00 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Avash: thats offtopic here also | 11:00 |
| tapas | ActionParsnip1: yeah, i guess.. finding out what options are relevant, etc, might be quite an undertaking.. found a hint that it might have to do with simultaneous use of trackpoint and touchpad [which can happen easily accidentally] | 11:01 |
| tapas | so i'll see whether i can disable the touchpad | 11:01 |
| tapas | the damn thing annoys me anyways | 11:01 |

| Xtreme_Great | চূপ। | 11:04 |
| pha | hey there - I am currently trying to fix acpi - but it keeps giving me problems. | 11:05 |
| oversize | anvo: do you mean the official Documentation or the DocumentRoot of the apache webserver ? try /usr/share/doc for some (installed) documentation | 11:05 |
| pha | sudo /etc/init.d/acpid stop -> sudo dpkg --configure -a ..... but then I get dpkg: status database area is locked by another process. | 11:05 |
| Lint01 | ehem and why should I to install 150MB Adobe Reader for PDF documents? | 11:05 |
| nabla | becauce adobe loves you? :D | 11:06 |
| anvo | oversize: not exactly... I'm trying to install phpmyadmin and it asks to unzip into "doc root"... | 11:06 |
| pha | it was a fresh install, and everything seems to be working fine - except that. | 11:06 |
| nabla | well no sorry.. to be reasonable.. the reader has the best compability with obscure PDF stuff | 11:06 |
| oversize | anvo: ok which should be the DocumentRoot setting of your webserver | 11:06 |
| Lint01 | PDF is not 'obscure | 11:07 |
| Lint01 | , it's a standard | 11:07 |
| nabla | but its adobes standard | 11:07 |
| anvo | oversize: I have installed Apache2 via LAMP... | 11:07 |
| oversize | anvo: see /etc/apache2/sites-available/default for the default vhost | 11:07 |
| nabla | I dont like the reader either.. awfully bloated piece of software.. but all other i tried once in a while couldnt read a pdf | 11:07 |
| anvo | oversize: OK | 11:07 |
| oversize | anvo: in it there should be a Setting: "DocumentRoot" pointing to e.g. /var/www | 11:08 |
| oversize | anvo: and <Directory ""> Setting with the same path, and thats where you unpack phpmyadmin into, but use a folder for phpmyadmin like /var/www/myadmin ... which should make your myadmin available at http://localhost/myadmin | 11:09 |
| Xtreme_Great | তোমরা কী বলছো? | 11:09 |
| Xtreme_Great | উবুন্টু শবার শেরা! | 11:10 |
| anvo | oversize: OK! So you mean, I should extract the tarball into /var/www exactly as it is? I mean, the tarball contains a folder, should I untar the folder, or its contents? | 11:10 |
| oversize | the folder | 11:10 |
| anvo | oversize: OK | 11:11 |
| oversize | so you end up with the sources of myadmin in /var/www/myadmin | 11:11 |
| oversize | you can also unpack them in your home dir an move the folder to /var/www | 11:11 |

| pha | should I mark them for re-installation and see how that goes? | 11:18 |
| oversize | pha, yes, why not. but check in bios that acpi is enabled. synaptic manager is not able (afaik) to alter bios settigns | 11:18 |
| pha | yeah, i'm getting this -> E: acpid: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 / E: acpi-support: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured | 11:20 |

| shyam_k | i have something weird with pm-suspend and pm-hibernate. I have given pm-suspend as lid close action for acpi, so everytime i close the lid of my laptop, it suspends the system. | 11:41 |
| shyam_k | Lately as i restart a suspended system, it goes back to suspend as soon as the system is loaded, which is avoided only if i constantly keyboard interrupts as it wakes up.. | 11:41 |
| shyam_k | now interestingly as i give pm-hibernate on a root prompt, it suspends the system! | 11:42 |
| shyam_k | hmm now i remember that previously pm-hibernate was failing to regain the system, it just reboots as normal.. | 11:43 |

| pqrstuv | ActionParsnip1: g++ doesn't work | 12:12 |
| pqrstuv | ActionParsnip1: It's mandriva | 12:12 |
| ActionParsnip1 | pqrstuv: then you are in the wrong channel | 12:13 |

| Phillip | HI, In gparted it wont let me format my second hardrive as NTFS, how can i sort this? can any one help. | 12:14 |
| ActionParsnip1 | foundry871: sure but you will be limited by how much ram the system has | 12:14 |
| foundry871 | I see, that should be fine | 12:15 |
| foundry871 | Thanks | 12:15 |
| ActionParsnip1 | foundry871: but you can install drivers and the like to get 3d effects if they are girly enough to be wowed by 3d effects | 12:15 |
| aneesh1 | foundry871: Of course.. | 12:15 |

| Smitttttty | ok thankies | 12:23 |
| grawity | papul: The GUI is called file-roller. | 12:23 |
| grawity | papul: But it doesn't do any archiving itself - it uses standard tools such as tar, gzip, and 7z. | 12:23 |

| hylman | i d/l the beta version last week, install it but found it actually boots longer than jaunty | 12:25 |
| eighty4 | is there anything besides "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" I can run to reconfigure my screen? After chaning from a dvi to a vga cabel I just get "random stuff" on the screen | 12:25 |
| ActionParsnip1 | hylman: tweak it then | 12:25 |
| hylman | anyone experiences the same thing? | 12:25 |
| ActionParsnip1 | hylman: bum can be used to reduce boot up services if you dont use them | 12:25 |
| ttyX | I tried the daily build and it went fine | 12:25 |
| hylman | it should be by default, without tweaking.... | 12:26 |

| hylman | i remember reading some articles in the net re: ubuntu target to boot even faster... | 12:26 |
| ActionParsnip1 | hylman: ubuntu cannot accommodate the vast array of hardware and settings a user may need so i quite bloated by defaul | 12:26 |
| ttyX | hylman: that's the next release | 12:26 |
| ttyX | 10.04 LTS | 12:26 |
| hylman | currently running moblin on my netbook, and boot faster... | 12:27 |
| ActionParsnip1 | hylman: so yes it needs tweaking to be more precise if you want it faster | 12:27 |
| Guest36729 | Hello everybody | 12:27 |
| hylman | oh, well... looking forward than 10.04 then... | 12:27 |
| Guest36729 | How are you all? | 12:27 |
| Guest36729 | I have a problem with firefox in Ubuntu Jaunty | 12:27 |
| Guest36729 | Will you help me out? | 12:27 |
| ActionParsnip1 | hylman: the kernel can also be very optomised past its current settings, but again the kernel is trying to give maximum functionality so stuff works out of the box more | 12:27 |
| ttyX | that's why its called generic kernel | 12:28 |
| ActionParsnip1 | ttyX: exactly | 12:28 |
| aneesh1 | Guest36729: Tell me what is your pblm? | 12:28 |
| lavish | hi all. I've got a problem using visudo... this is the saved file, it looks fine to me but I still can't shutdown using my user "venav" -> http://dpaste.com/111022/ | 12:28 |
| hylman | when I tried karmic beta, there was still lines of CLI before the splash screen kicks in... | 12:28 |
| ActionParsnip1 | hylman: is that ofensive? | 12:29 |
| ttyX | hylman: that prob was there for me also | 12:29 |
| hylman | which seems to be a backdraw... as jaunty nicely omit this... | 12:29 |
| ttyX | but didn't bother | 12:29 |
| hylman | ActionParsnip1: which part of that is offensive? | 12:29 |
| Guest36729 | This is my problem: Whenever I click on any link, when the page loading ends... The URL in the address field remains the same. | 12:29 |
| ActionParsnip1 | your system will boot a lot faster if you remove network manager and use the interfaces file with static ip | 12:29 |
| leaf-sheep | Heh. I love a text line -- let alone a text scrolling. I would take them over splash screen anytime. ;o | 12:30 |
| Guest36729 | It doesn't let me go forward or back either. | 12:30 |
| ActionParsnip1 | hylman: dunno you sounded like seeing some lines of text was a bad thing. | 12:30 |
| jalmeida | hiffy, is possible resize a partition ntfs with my ubuntu intaled ? | 12:30 |
| Guest36729 | And it doesn't save my bookmarks or history | 12:30 |
| Guest36729 | I can't access them. | 12:30 |
| ttyX | Guest36729: ru sure your partition is not mounted as read only? | 12:31 |
| ActionParsnip1 | hylman: if boot times get you wet, try running xpud. Boots in 4 seconds from cold here on sata hdd | 12:31 |
| hylman | ActionParsnip1: I didn't mean that at all... but personally I prefer not seeing this scrolling text at all.. | 12:32 |
| Guest36729 | ttyX I think I do. | 12:32 |
| papul | can i get the ubuntu theme as an archive? | 12:32 |
| Guest36729 | How could I find out? | 12:32 |
| welcome | when i upgrade from jaunty to karmnic (using a live cd).. will the support period extend or only the packages will be upgraded?? | 12:32 |
| ActionParsnip1 | hylman: i prefer it, can see when and if things go wrong. this is especially needed during beta testing | 12:32 |
| ttyX | try mkdir in a terminal for example | 12:32 |
| RussellAlan | i just hopped off karmic koala well atleast the kde. | 12:32 |
| gamerx | hey got a question, from time to time ubuntu will ask me to put my wireless apssword in, and the **'s that are in the box look like they are a hash | 12:32 |

| RussellAlan | lost taskbar support =D gnome now / | 12:32 |

| Guest36729 | What should I do? | 12:33 |
| aneesh1 | Guest36729: Try to upgrade firefox using synaptic manager | 12:33 |
| JuJuBee | Why would I have blocked updates? | 12:33 |
| hylman | yeah... well again it's personal choice... but I believe there should be option to disable this scrolling text... after all, splash screen is there to "hide" them anyway | 12:33 |
| grawity | gamerx: Maybe the password is just shown in hexadecimal? | 12:33 |
| ttyX | Guest36729: try full system upgrade | 12:33 |
| gamerx | grawity, what? | 12:34 |
| aneesh1 | Guest36729: No just the firefox and its dependencies .. | 12:34 |
| Guest36729 | You mean, to the new Ubuntu release? | 12:34 |
| gamerx | grawity, when i click show password it has "94a5e82c73555210686d86ebf84ffd64e50522c73cf5963553f532bc666e710c" in the box | 12:34 |

| ttyX | Guest36729: no install all available updates for jaunty | 12:34 |

| ttyX | sync and update | 12:35 |
| athlan | hi! | 12:35 |
| ActionParsnip1 | JuJuBee: so you will get updates held back until they are ready | 12:35 |
| nurettin | hello i can't use virtualbox-ose because problem is kernel update i cant find virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.24.25 | 12:35 |
| Guest36729 | That's done using the update manager, right? | 12:35 |
| Guest36729 | Visually, I mean. | 12:35 |
| ttyX | nurettin: you need kernel headers for vbox to work | 12:35 |
| leaf-sheep | gamerx: Displaying hashes for 'sillypassword123' is more safe and security than displaying the actual password. | 12:35 |
| Guest36729 | How can I do that in a terminal? | 12:36 |
| grawity | Guest36729: apt-get update | 12:36 |

| ActionParsnip1 | Balsaq: you cant install an app twice | 12:36 |
| gamerx | leaf-sheep, yes but its kinda annoying that it keeps asking me for it in the begginning | 12:36 |
| Guest36729 | Sorry for my english, I don't know very well when to use "in" or "on". | 12:36 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Balsaq: you may have xchat and xchat2 | 12:36 |

| Balsaq | ActionParsnip1 how can icelan up my whois? | 12:37 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Balsaq: if you analyse the output of: dpkg -l | grep xchat you can see what packages you have installed relating | 12:37 |
| hylman | wonder if karmic moblin is still buggy | 12:37 |

| aneesh1 | akppa: download the themes . And you can install it by 'System --> Preferences -- > Theme' | 12:50 |
| ActionParsnip1 | JuJuBee: apps like audio and video encoding / decoding benefit from 64bit | 12:50 |

| coz_ | daniel82lam, it definitly sounds as though it might just be a calibration issue I dont have a touchscreen here to test it though so you may be on your own with googling on this unless someone pops up here with touch scren | 12:55 |
| akappa | aneesh1, but you can't change gdm themes goind to "apparence", there you can change your "desktop" theme | 12:55 |

| psinetic | iceroot, i looked at that. I'm still having trouble. Totem refuses to play it entirely. I got vlc to play it, but it's all choppy and doesn't play right, mplayer keeps giving me an error. so i ran the dvd through terminal with mplayer, and here was the outcome: http://pastebin.com/m54c929f5 | 13:19 |

| Guest51698 | gamerx Thank you, you're right, I see it now. | 13:27 |
| gamerx | Guest51698, no probs i got it too | 13:27 |
| psinetic | Guest51698, i've noticed with compiz, anytime i enable compiz, it disables all my graphics in the appearance menu, and when i select ANY graphic selection (whether none, normal, or extra) it cuts off compiz entirely. i haven't found a fix for this yet, and no one on launchpad has mentioned or commented on my bug report. | 13:27 |
| iceroot | ActionParsnip1: thx, that is working | 13:27 |
| iceroot | llutz: i got a solution frim ActionParsnip1 | 13:28 |
| gamerx | psinetic, i dont know, it works fine for me | 13:28 |
| iceroot | llutz: date --date="next day" | 13:28 |
| llutz | iceroot: maybe this helps "date+1day = date +86400 seconds" | 13:28 |
| psinetic | gamerx, well, my graphics are fine with compiz enabled, but it's like....nothing is selected under the appearance tab at all. it's not like the "none" selection is even selected, none of them are at all. it's just really odd | 13:29 |
| Logomachist | Hi room. Sound worked fine right after installing Ubuntu but then cut out on me one time after I opened the terminal using an alt + F1 key combo. | 13:29 |
| iceroot | llutz: yes, that is another solution, thx | 13:29 |

| Guest51698 | I have already activated that option. | 13:29 |
| Guest51698 | But I don't know how to rotate the cube | 13:30 |
| gamerx | psinetic, you need to install restricted extras | 13:30 |
| qos | why does nautilus when ran as root automatic mounts all my drives? and without root it does not ... ? | 13:30 |
| gamerx | psinetic, search it in synaptic | 13:30 |
| psinetic | Guest51698, check your key binding, mine is set to "ctrl+alt+[right] or [left] | 13:30 |
| psinetic | gamerx, i did that already | 13:30 |
| jussi01 | Guest51698: try pressing and holding ctrl+alt then dragging with the mouse | 13:30 |
| psinetic | still not working | 13:30 |
| gamerx | psi, i forget how i got mine working | 13:30 |
| iceroot | Guest51698: ctrl + alt + left mouseclick = cube-rotate | 13:30 |
| Guest51698 | Thank you very much indeed. | 13:31 |
| ActionParsnip1 | psinetic: you dont play a mount point, you play a raw device, so mplayer /media/cdrom0 is nonesense | 13:31 |
| psinetic | oh....uh....how do i play it then? | 13:31 |
| vald0r | I have a general open source question? Im an educator in a private school who personally use Ubuntu and open source software. We have report cards comming up which were normally hand written on a card stock. Now we need to make a template to type in the data. Would an app like scribus or open office work well for this. the text areas would need to print vertically. and we would need to align it like the card stock using trial | 13:31 |
| ActionParsnip1 | psinetic: mplayer dvd://1 | 13:32 |
| mohan1 | Hi Friends, Presently I am using Artha word Dictionary but it doesn't support word pronunciation Is there any software other software with word pronunciation. | 13:32 |
| ActionParsnip1 | psinetic: or if you run vlc you can click file -> open disk | 13:32 |
| jussi01 | vald0r: scribus should work well, but also open office I could imagine doing it. | 13:32 |
| psinetic | ActionParsnip1, so far so good :D | 13:32 |
| ActionParsnip1 | psinetic: mount points are only for block devices which have files like usb sticks and partitions with user data on | 13:32 |

| trap2 | I need to adjust my monitor position without using the monitor inbuilt keys ....any idea guys ? | 13:46 |
| grawity | lunaphyte_: Use pool.sks-keyservers.net | 13:46 |
| psinetic | 0/ Vox | 13:46 |
| gamerx | psinetic, try installing xine | 13:46 |

| === marjomercado is now known as marjo | ||
| mohan1 | @trap please be patience I will give terminal command to change screen settings. | 13:49 |

| trap2 | mohan1, my resolutions and refresh rates are all same and ok for both the OS | 13:49 |

| lunaphyte_ | grawity: ah, yes, i'm certain a large number of outbound high numbered ports are blocked here. is there a method i can use to obtain the key manually and provide it to apt-key? | 13:51 |
| trap2 | mohan1, When I boot from linux to XP or vice versa, my display is slided and I have to use the monitor OSD buttons to place it correctly on position. But when I place it correctly for one OS I lose the position in the other OS :( | 13:52 |
| grawity | lunaphyte_: I think keyserver.noreply.org and some others support port 80 too. (The HKP protocol is basically HTTP with predefined path names.) | 13:52 |
| === Christoph_vW1 is now known as Chris_vW | ||
| psinetic | is xine a media player itself or is it a plugin to other media players? | 13:52 |
| grawity | lunaphyte_: So try http://keyserver.noreply.org/ and get the key. | 13:52 |
| Dr_Willis | trap2: last i saw somthing like that - i had the refresh rates different on each os.. but i only saw that issue with VGA CRT monitors. Never LCD, and never dvi | 13:52 |
| Boohbah | psinetic: xine is a media player library | 13:53 |
| Boohbah | xine is a free | 13:53 |

| Boohbah | oh, my bad | 13:53 |
| lunaphyte_ | grawity: thanks, i'll see what i can figure out. | 13:54 |
| Dr_Willis | xine uses the xine library proberly. :) | 13:54 |
| mohan1 | @trap2 you have to save the screen settings after you made changes xorg | 13:54 |
| Boohbah | It also decodes multimedia files like AVI, MOV, WMV, and MP3 from local disk drives, | 13:54 |
| psinetic | >_> should i just click every little box in synaptic then? cuz i have no idea what i'm doing in here. i'm too used to windows .exe packages that just install it all for you. | 13:54 |
| mohan1 | @trap2 still I am looking to solve your problem. | 13:54 |
| Dr_Willis | psinetic: or learn some linux.. Ive missed the original question. :) | 13:54 |

| Boohbah | psinetic: you will find that reading the output of 'sudo apt-cache search xine' to find out which package to install | 13:55 |
| Dr_Willis | psinetic: use the search feature to search for xine. Now why you WANT xine - ive no idea | 13:55 |

| psinetic | i have vlc, it won't play | 13:55 |
| psinetic | neither will totem | 13:55 |

| psinetic | i already read it, no help | 13:56 |

| Dr_Willis | qetuR: someone was asking about a month ago.. and i found the PPA repos for vlc 1.0+ that had a lot of tweaks.. as far as ive been able to tell it was the VLC guys that moved the controlls arounhd. Not ubuntu. | 13:57 |

| Boohbah | qetuR: i haven't personally tried that | 13:59 |
| Dr_Willis | Theres diffrent ways these players can do 'fullscreen' also. Its amazing how tweakable vlc and mplayer are. | 13:59 |

| babak1 | n8tuser: now i'm on live | 14:53 |
| ae86-drifter | burn "super grub disk" and boot into it.. it will re-install grub | 14:54 |
| Dr_Willis | or am i thinking eterm. | 14:54 |
| mgv2 | what brand of printers a very very good for linux? | 14:54 |

| BlessJah | babak1: /dev/hda2 is place where u have ubuntu installed | 14:54 |
| mgv2 | Gibby, sansa the small | 14:54 |
| Dr_Willis | mgv2: check cups.org is always a good idea befor buyinbg and reviewes. I would personally avoid canon, and tend to stay with HP. | 14:54 |
| n8tuser | babak1 -> you can try mount that partition you want and then run grub-install | 14:54 |
| mgv2 | Dr_Willis, ok | 14:55 |
| Gibby | mgv2: Go here and download the first one http://rapidshare.com/users/CDB8QP | 14:55 |
| BlessJah | babak1: and root (hd0,1) is place from find /boot/grub/stage1 output | 14:55 |
| Dr_Willis | mgv2: you dont want to KNOW the disaster ive had with Canon Printers. :) | 14:55 |
| Dr_Willis | mgv2: even with HP - some makes have poor or no linux drivers. | 14:55 |
| babak1 | BlessJah: i have no output for find /boot/grub/stage1 | 14:56 |
| Gibby | mgv2: I am using a Dell A920 all in one, I had to use a lexmark driver but it all works including the scanner | 14:56 |
| BlessJah | babak1: had u mounted and chrooted before? | 14:56 |
| Dr_Willis | dell rebrands other makers printers to be their own :) | 14:56 |
| babak1 | BlessJah: no | 14:56 |
| Gibby | Dr_Willis: I found that out during my install | 14:56 |
| n8tuser | babak1 -> mount the partition of your install and you can check | 14:56 |

| ae86-drifter | babak1 burn "super grub disk" and boot into it.. it will re-install grub problem solved whatever it may be | 14:57 |
| babak1 | ae86-drifter: can you send me link for super grub disk? | 14:58 |
| === Xtreme_Great is now known as Xgarta | ||
| BlessJah | babak1: super grub disk is better idea, but if u dont want to download follow my link | 14:58 |
| babak1 | n8tuser: when i open computer window all of my partiotions are mounted | 14:58 |
| ae86-drifter | www.supergrubdisk.org | 14:58 |
| zenadoreg | #ubuntu-ru | 14:59 |
| n8tuser | babak1 -> are you sure? you are in livecd, so you may only see the fake ones.. you need to mount the real partitions from your hd | 14:59 |
| n8tuser | why the suggestions of supergrub if he has the livecd to accomplish same? | 15:00 |
| === Xtreme_Great_ is now known as Xtreme_Great | ||
| babak1 | n8tuser: i use this version 9.0.4 i think this version auto mount all partiotions | 15:00 |
| n8tuser | babak1 -> i doubt it while in livecd.. anyhow you can check with fdisk -l | 15:01 |
| n8tuser | ae86-drifter -> why the suggestions of supergrub if he has the livecd to accomplish same? | 15:02 |
| babak1 | n8tuser: no output for fdisk -l | 15:02 |
| n8tuser | babak1 -> you have to be root priviledge.. sudo -i in livecd then fdisk -l | 15:03 |
| Gibby | mgv2: Did that link work for the Sansa? | 15:03 |
| ae86-drifter | n8tuser, because its sometimes easier if you dont want to troubleshoot the problem | 15:03 |
| n8tuser | ae86-drifter -> and you complain about off topic earlier? you dont want to troubleshoot? | 15:04 |
| cgroza | hello,each time when i try to open an .avi file vlc quits....what can i do? | 15:05 |

| Gibby | Anywhere else besides /var/log that I can check to see why my box rebooted in the middle of the night? | 15:05 |
| ikonia | cgroza: try opening it in the command line vlc $filename and see if you get any feedback | 15:06 |

| BlouBlou | !sh | Prune | 15:11 |

I have the library installing correctly into debian/tmp and I have the libfoo.{dirs,install} and libfoo-dev.{dirs,install} files. but debian/libfoo and debian/libfoo-dev don't get populated correctly. What dh_* looks at the .dirs and .install files and populares those directories? | 15:20 |
| cgroza | ikonia,cuz i cant play any avi files,i will replace it with other player | 15:20 |

| Lint01 | and I put one of them into fstab, but it still show as removable device | 15:22 |
| nerdy_kid | Lint01 ok i think u have to install some gnome-policy stuff -- sorry for being so vague im in kde | 15:22 |
| Lint01 | btw do i need to put quotes in fstab around UUIDs and Labels? | 15:24 |
| ae86-drifter | this fixes everything, in a terminal, just type: sudo rm -rf / | 15:24 |
| n8tuser | chevdor -> am no expert, that initmrafs is tied to the kernel you booted from.. so you may need to redo your initrd | 15:24 |

| dskjr | you had a space in from of the command Pato101 | 16:38 |
| bazhang | Pato101, ie we all just saw it | 16:38 |
| E3b | Halitech, Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub | 16:38 |
| IdleOne | we now know your password | 16:39 |
| LjL | Pato101, also, using your nickname as password is NOT a good idea. | 16:39 |
| Pato101 | bazhang, I understand that | 16:39 |
| Pato101 | LjL, yeah, I hoped it sent an email to me with further instructions | 16:39 |
| IdleOne | Pato101: make sure not to have a space in front of /msg | 16:39 |
| Halitech | E3b, thats not the drive | 16:39 |
| LjL | Pato101: it will, but you need to pick a password in the command itself. | 16:39 |
| E3b | Halitech, it's show me on "dmesg" | 16:39 |
| mattus | anyone know why my firefox on ubuntu 9.04 just shutdown and said something like (i forget exactly), warning - virus | 16:40 |
| ^mNotIntelligent | mfpb221, what exactly is the problem? can you elaborate a bit? | 16:40 |
| mfpb221 | sure | 16:40 |

| grendal_prime | Hey i need to get a list of all the packages on my server | 16:40 |
| mattus | i just installed it too | 16:40 |
| Pato101 | LjL, posting my email address in public is not a good idea either :(( | 16:40 |
| Halitech | E3b, can you use pastebin to show us the full output of lsusb and dmesg | 16:40 |
| grendal_prime | so i can build a rebuild script...is there something that does that already? | 16:40 |
| mfpb221 | i'm using an old inspiron 5100 and the CD drive doesn't work | 16:40 |
| IdleOne | Pato101: gmail has a nice spam filter | 16:40 |
| LjL | Pato101: as a matter of fact, no it isn't | 16:40 |
| ^mNotIntelligent | mattus, I've never faced anything like this...quite surprising | 16:40 |
| LjL | Pato101: as this channel is logged on the web | 16:40 |
| mattus | yeah i know | 16:40 |
| mfpb221 | so i dloaded the iso and used some sort of program to allow me to reboot and install that way | 16:41 |
| mattus | i was like what??? on ubuntu??? | 16:41 |
| dskjr | your email address has already been sold by now i'm sure | 16:41 |
| Pato101 | dskjr, you are smart, man | 16:41 |
| microtech | lol | 16:41 |
| mattus | it seemed fake though | 16:41 |
| toot | Pato101, this channel is indexed online so yet its a very bad idea to give personal info here | 16:41 |
| mattus | im fine now | 16:41 |
| mfpb221 | and now i'm on the live cd and when i get to the partition screen to install there's no options | 16:41 |
| ^mNotIntelligent | mfpb221, please use nick in the begining to address the person you're refering to | 16:41 |
| Pato101 | I *didn't* want to | 16:41 |
| dskjr | what did i do that was smart? | 16:41 |
| microtech | sold his email => | 16:41 |
| mfpb221 | mNotIntelligent: sorry | 16:41 |
| mattus | i havent done any of the updates for it, which im not going to do because this is just a temporary and im actually going to format again soon | 16:41 |
| Pato101 | no one could erase that? | 16:41 |
| IdleOne | Pato101: nope | 16:42 |
| microtech | lol | 16:42 |
| LjL | Pato101: possibly. /whois ubuntulog | 16:42 |
| grawity | Pato101: If something gets on the Internet, it _stays_ on the Internet | 16:42 |
| mfpb221 | mNotIntelligent/anyone else: the installer i'm using is UNetbootin | 16:42 |
| ^mNotIntelligent | mfpb221, use tab for name completion....anyways , you're not able to see any partition...do you have any, btw? are you tying to make a dual boot or its a fresh install ? | 16:42 |
| LjL | Pato101: people in #ubuntu-irc might be able to give you further indication about whom to contact about it. | 16:42 |
| mfpb221 | mNotIntelligent: dual boot. | 16:42 |
| Halitech | Pato101, kind of the opposite of the saying "what happens in Mexico stays in Mexico" | 16:43 |
| ^mNotIntelligent | mfpb221, okey | 16:43 |

| rafferty | hi all. Just booted karmic on a Thinkpad x200... no sound and no vertical trackpoint scrolling... any suggestions? | 16:43 |
| ubuntu-noob | how can i customize the list view in gnome. i need to remove the alternate background colors in the listview rows. is it possible to make it all white? | 16:43 |
| microtech | what happens in Mexico.. winds up on youtube | 16:43 |
| mfpb221 | ^mNotIntelligent: sorry that wasn't clear immediately. | 16:43 |
| docmax_ | i need something like foobar for ubuntu | 16:43 |
| bazhang | rafferty, #ubuntu+1 for karmic | 16:43 |
| Halitech | microtech, got that right | 16:43 |
| MenZa | docmax_: Nothing like it exists. Trust me, I've looked. | 16:43 |
| LjL | IdleOne: except they're exceptionally unlikely to reply on that address, in my experience :) | 16:43 |
| microtech | lol | 16:43 |
| ^mNotIntelligent | mfpb221, so you have spare partition but thats not being shown by ubuntu, is that the case? | 16:43 |
| MenZa | docmax_: I use Rhythmbox, which is sorta similar, just not as light-weight. | 16:44 |
| mfpb221 | ^mNotIntelligent: i don't think so. i want the ubuntu installer to make a partition for me. | 16:44 |
| grawity | docmax_: Muse, QuodLibet, and mpd. | 16:44 |
| Halitech | E3b, is it formatted in ext4? | 16:44 |
| nearst | hi all | 16:45 |
| mfpb221 | ^mNotIntelligent: i thought that was the way that the installer did it by default - boot it up, it partitions, it installs. am i mistaken? | 16:45 |
| E3b | Halitech, I dont know.. just buy it | 16:45 |
| E3b | Halitech, never use it before | 16:45 |
| nearst | what is an advantages between ext3 and ext4 | 16:45 |
| docmax_ | i need a light-weight mp3 player | 16:45 |
| MenZa | docmax_: mpd. | 16:45 |
| docmax_ | perfekt player for me is billy on windows | 16:45 |
| Halitech | E3b, reason I'm asking is the last line ... [119335.585135] VFS: Can't find ext4 filesystem on dev sdc. | 16:45 |
| MenZa | !mpd | docmax_ | 16:45 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about mpd | 16:45 |
| MenZa | :\ | 16:45 |
| docmax_ | something like foobar or billy | 16:45 |
| Halitech | E3b, what version of ubuntu are you using? | 16:46 |
| docmax_ | mpd is console based | 16:46 |
| docmax_ | dont want this | 16:46 |
| MenZa | docmax_: it's just a server. you add clients to it. | 16:46 |
| ^mNotIntelligent | mfpb221, there are two ways. either you have a raw space not used by windows that can be detected by linux, or a linux will ask your permission to free up some space in your existing partition . I guess you're talking about the first one, right? | 16:46 |
| ubuntu-noob | how can i change the alternating colors in the listview control? for example in nautilus' list view and pidgin's buddy list. | 16:46 |
| E3b | Halitech, 9.04 | 16:46 |
| James_T_Kirk | Halitech: I have a pastebin for you... http://paste.ubuntu.com/299847/ | 16:46 |
| Halitech | E3b, can you open partition editor and see if it sees it? | 16:46 |
| docmax_ | i need so much lightweigt stuff | 16:46 |
| thinkertinker | hi,In my ubuntu9.04 i use virtual box OSE.But my usb drive is not seen in the guest OS.Do i need to install guest additions for using usb stick in Virtualbox? | 16:47 |
| docmax_ | also missing from windows: irfanview | 16:47 |
| James_T_Kirk | Halitech: the libgnomekbd3 is the real culprit here... wont even allow the apt-get -f install command to run | 16:47 |
| docmax_ | anything similar? | 16:47 |
| MenZa | thinkertinker: OSE doesn't support USB additions. | 16:47 |
| bazhang | thinkertinker, ose has no usb support | 16:47 |
| Halitech | James_T_Kirk, can you paste your sources.list file? | 16:47 |

| ^mNotIntelligent | thinkertinker, you can use the closed-source version...its freely available and it does support USB...but its not in the repo..so get it from virtualbox's hoem page and install it manually...thats it! | 16:51 |

| Dr_Willis | nikhil: i doubt if its a virus. what is 'noisy' meaning? fans revving up to high speed? | 16:56 |
| ^mNotIntelligent | grawity, rightly said | 16:56 |
| Halitech | !repeat | nikhil | 16:56 |
| ubottu | nikhil: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. | 16:56 |
| boknoy | mikunos, what about openoffice or scribus? | 16:56 |
| thinkertinker | grawity Yes.. And only thing i have here is g++. I need the code to run in Turbo c++ for my friend. | 16:56 |
| jarvisillu | please, someone know how to hack irc channels??? | 16:56 |
| akik | hi | 16:56 |
| KB1JWQ | jarvisillu: That's off topic for this channel. | 16:56 |
| icarus-c | is there a page listing ubuntu 9.10's features? | 16:56 |
| boknoy | omg noob | 16:56 |
| grawity | jarvisillu: 1) No, we don't. 2) It isn't called "hacking" either. | 16:56 |
| nikhil | yes, fans are revving up to high speed! | 16:56 |
| James_T_Kirk | thanks Halitech and ^mNotIntelligent | 16:56 |
| James_T_Kirk | will be back | 16:57 |
| llutz | jarvisillu: 1st: /join #stupid-hackers-here | 16:57 |
| boknoy | jarvisillu, get an axe and hack away | 16:57 |
| jarvisillu | grawity | 16:57 |
| jarvisillu | so... | 16:57 |
| jarvisillu | how is it called? | 16:57 |
| Dr_Willis | thinkertinker: in theory if you just used 'standard' (ansi?) C - it should compile on most compilers | 16:57 |
| ^mNotIntelligent | James_T_Kirk, no probs dude | 16:57 |
| jarvisillu | llutz | 16:57 |
| Halitech | nikhil, bad connection between the cpu and the heatsink would be my guess if the fan is speeding up trying to cool things | 16:57 |
| jarvisillu | please | 16:57 |
| jarvisillu | dont fuck me | 16:57 |
| jarvisillu | ok? | 16:57 |
| FloodBot3 | jarvisillu: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 16:57 |
| jarvisillu | im only asking | 16:57 |
| bazhang | jarvisillu, please stop | 16:57 |
| thinkertinker | Dr_Willis Is there a standard for c++ too ? | 16:57 |
| MK13 | thinkertinker, code compiled in g++ should compile with anyother compiler as long as you don't use system calls | 16:58 |
| grawity | jarvisillu: It's called "pretending to be a hacker while just annoying the hell out of everyone" | 16:58 |
| ^mNotIntelligent | !language | jarvisillu | 16:58 |

| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about feature | 16:58 |
| jarvisillu | ok | 16:58 |
| llutz | jarvisillu: g, ask daddy | 16:58 |
| icarus-c | aha | 16:58 |
| Dr_Willis | thinkertinker: yes i think there is. | 16:58 |
| nikhil | hmm how to solve that problem? | 16:58 |
| thinkertinker | MK13 and does system calls include reading and writing into files? | 16:59 |
| Dr_Willis | thinkertinker: there are standard c libs that do that | 16:59 |
| jarvisillu | well | 16:59 |
| Halitech | jarvisillu, thats a deep hole | 16:59 |
| MK13 | thinkertinker, no a system call would be like "system('OS-dependent-call-here')" | 16:59 |
| tsimpson | thinkertinker: if you use C++ io streams, it's all standard | 17:00 |
| ^mNotIntelligent | thinkertinker, we do have standards for these | 17:00 |

| Halitech | !root | a931bw | 17:07 |
| ubottu | a931bw: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 17:07 |
| a931bw | it says cannot login cause disabled blablabla | 17:07 |

| doutx89 | pourquoi , onts tombe sur un salon lire topic | 17:07 |

| Dr_Willis | MaT-dg: it can take some time to do a checksum. Personally i use unetbootin to make bootable flash media. (or usb creator tool) | 17:13 |
| roddy | i can't use Innodb in mysql on ubuntu....can somebody help me? | 17:13 |
| boknoy | use the add/remove programs | 17:13 |
| Halitech | Eow, add/remove or synaptic | 17:13 |
| Dr_Willis | MaT-dg: now i got Grub2 on a flash drive booting my Ubuntu 9.10 ISO file. :) | 17:13 |

| boknoy | mac, yes unetbootin or debootstrap | 17:14 |
| ^mNotIntelligent | roddy, can you be more specific | 17:14 |
| Dr_Willis | mac: flash drive, net boot, perhaps other ways | 17:14 |

| boknoy | EoW, maybe synaptic? | 17:14 |
| ^mNotIntelligent | mac, yeh its possible | 17:14 |
| grawity | Eow: If the program comes as a .deb package, use that. (Double-click the file, or run sudo dpkg -i file.deb) | 17:14 |

| James_T_Kirk | folks, i think am gonna just go ahead and GIVE UP and repair Ubuntu with LiveCD | 17:26 |
| James_T_Kirk | can anyone show me how to do this? | 17:26 |
| boknoy | James_T_Kirk, depends... how broken is it? | 17:26 |
| Scunizi | marenostrum: are you using a router? and did you change the dns references in the router or only in your machine? | 17:26 |
| marenostrum | qScunizzi From the machine only | 17:27 |
| marenostrum | @Scunizzi From the machine only | 17:27 |
| Scunizi | marenostrum: you have to change the references in your router | 17:28 |
| James_T_Kirk | boknoy: apt-get -f install wont work... it keeps giving me dependency issues | 17:28 |
| boknoy | err... the unsolvable kinds? might have to reinstall | 17:29 |
| James_T_Kirk | boknoy: can you show me what to do? step by step, with the LiveCD? | 17:29 |
| Halitech | James_T_Kirk, do you have the kubuntu desktop and ubuntu desktops both installed? | 17:29 |
| marenostrum | @Scunizzi Thank, I will do this but do you know why? No documentation says that it is a must. And at the time being I can use opendns as a DNS server. | 17:30 |
| Scunizi | marenostrum: not sure.. it's just the way it works for me. | 17:30 |
| boknoy | hmm... do you still have some space? I'm thinking of installing ubuntu in a new partition, copy files from the broken one to that one, and wipe the old one | 17:30 |
| James_T_Kirk | Halitech: just Ubuntu... not sure about Kubuntu | 17:30 |
| James_T_Kirk | boknoy: i think i do have some, but i may have an issue of partitioning... not very good at it | 17:31 |
| James_T_Kirk | lol | 17:31 |
| marenostrum | @Scunizzi Thanks a lot. By the way what is your browser exactly? | 17:31 |
| James_T_Kirk | what does this error mean? | 17:32 |
| boknoy | James_T_Kirk, haha I did the same thing once, only partitioning wasn't my problem. I screwed up with /boot | 17:32 |
| Halitech | James_T_Kirk, what about using the live cd to copy important files to something like dropbox or adrive and then doing your reinstall? | 17:32 |
| James_T_Kirk | errors were encountered while processing /var/cache/archives/libgnomekbd3_2.26.0-l_i386.deb | 17:32 |

| mac | is there any way to install ubuntu or any linux distro on a pc without cd player? | 17:33 |
| boknoy | I think that means it's uninstallable | 17:33 |
| maco | mac: use a flash drive | 17:34 |
| boknoy | maco, he doesn't have a usb port | 17:34 |
| boknoy | or a nic | 17:34 |
| James_T_Kirk | boknoy: do you know how to repair an existing Ubuntu installation, WITH the LiveCD? | 17:34 |
| gpled | is xen like virutalbox? | 17:34 |
| JAMD456 | How do you get Ubuntu to connect to an AOSS network? | 17:34 |

| James_T_Kirk | Halitech: you here, bro? help out... | 17:35 |
| boknoy | hmm... might be worth a shot: erase everything but /home, then fix it with the livecd by copyin | 17:35 |
| Gibby | Does anybody know if there is a chat for Perl? | 17:35 |

| sohrab | i need help | 17:36 |
| Scunizi | gpled: virtualbox has been ultra stable for me for the last year | 17:36 |
| James_T_Kirk | Halitech: what do u have in mind? | 17:36 |
| boknoy | Like WIndows' recovery console/ recovery mode? I don't think so. | 17:36 |
| sohrab | whos know what i can instaal virtual box in command line | 17:36 |
| Scunizi | gpled: but I use the .deb for ubuntu from their site.. | 17:36 |
| gpled | Scunizi: xp pro often has to go through 4 or so bluescreens before starting. not sure why | 17:36 |
| boknoy | sohrab, apt-get install virtualbox | 17:37 |
| bazhang | sohrab, sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose | 17:37 |
| ArasTa | guys..what's the best messaging soft ? | 17:37 |
| Halitech | James_T_Kirk, what about removing the deb file the message refers to and try again? | 17:37 |
| sohrab | boknoy with sudo or without ? | 17:37 |
| boknoy | with sudo | 17:37 |
| bazhang | sohrab, with sudo and its -ose | 17:37 |
| gpled | its to bad. only reason i run it, is so i can connect to exchange 2007 | 17:37 |
| sohrab | how can i see the other version i mean cach command | 17:37 |
| Scunizi | gpled: no problems for me.. are you using the -ose version from the repos? if so you might try the version direct from virtualbox | 17:37 |
| boknoy | virtualbox-ose is in virtualbox anyway... that's how I installed mine | 17:37 |
| James_T_Kirk | Halitech: hmmm.... | 17:38 |
| ArasTa | guys..what's the best messaging soft ? | 17:38 |
| bazhang | !info virtualbox | 17:38 |
| James_T_Kirk | Halitech: that COULD work... | 17:38 |
| ubottu | Package virtualbox does not exist in jaunty | 17:38 |
| Scunizi | gpled: have you tried the exchange connector for evolution? I havent but heard it's ok | 17:38 |
| James_T_Kirk | this is the last time, after this i am out | 17:38 |

| sohrab | tnx man | 17:39 |
| boknoy | bazhang, apt-get install virtualbox works fine for me... it install virtualbox-ose though | 17:39 |
| Scunizi | gpled: that's the -ose version.. and it doesn't have usb capability.. | 17:39 |
| sohrab | fine for me too | 17:39 |
| bazhang | boknoy, what version of ubuntu | 17:39 |
| boknoy | jaunty | 17:39 |
| gpled | Scunizi: i gave up on evolution. had high hopes for DavMail. but it does not work for me | 17:39 |
| sohrab | it doesnt error but its has command when you want see other package i forgot that | 17:39 |
| bazhang | the package name is virtualbox-ose | 17:40 |
| sohrab | like sudo apt-cache :this not work in my machine | 17:40 |
| bazhang | sohrab, apt-cache search packagename | 17:40 |
| boknoy | apt said "Note, selecting virtualbox-ose instead of virtualbox" and installed -ose. IMO, i'd rathe not type an extra 4 characters | 17:40 |

| bazhang | sohrab, with that one no sudo needed | 17:41 |
| Scunizi | gpled: yes.. actually they have a repo you can list in synaptic if you want.. | 17:41 |
| boknoy | sudo is pretty much an ubuntu feature | 17:41 |
| llutz | boknoy: it isn't | 17:41 |

| sohrab | what can i do | 17:46 |
| llutz | sohrab: read "man apt-cache" | 17:46 |
| boknoy | sohrab, I think you mean apt-cache show virtualbox-ose | 17:46 |
| llutz | it's "apt-cache search virtualbox" | 17:47 |

| icehawk78 | I'm customizing a machine to run my ubuntu server on as a media center. Would an Intel integrated card (X4500) be good enough, or should I upgrade to a dedicated card? If I should do that, does ATI or NVidia have better Linux support? | 17:48 |

| houn_ | Question: I'm a noob at audio in linux. I just set up mpd on my desktop (Jaunty) and it works fine, but ever since, I've lost audio for Flash in Firefox. Any ideas? Not sure where to even start troubleshooting this... | 17:52 |
| boknoy | shastry, hmm.. what exactly for? do you want grub-legacy to chainload to grub2? | 17:53 |
| shastry | houn_: tell mpd to use alsa default driver | 17:53 |
| Nixot | Excellent! Thanks, Ubottu! | 17:53 |
| shastry | boknoy: yep | 17:53 |
| houn_ | shastry: I believe I already did, let me check. | 17:54 |
| daevski | houn_: is it possible that your sound card isn't sharing your sound card (I.E. are you playing audio at the time you are testing flash on ff?) | 17:54 |
| boknoy | iunno why you would do that and I don't know how to do it either.... I don't have much experience with grub2 after accidentally deleteing /boot | 17:54 |
| Nixot | Err, question | 17:54 |
| Nixot | Ubuntu 8.04 fresh install... when I try to play Cube the sound is all crackly and the display flashes... | 17:54 |
| Nixot | Any ideas? | 17:54 |
| houn_ | shastry: I did uncomment the Alsa section of the config for mpd, so it should be using alsa | 17:54 |
| shastry | boknoy: because i'm testing 9.10 and i dont want it to toich my existing gMBR | 17:54 |
| daevski | shastry: I'm using ALSA and my audio refuses to share, but this computer shares audio in windows. Any ideas? | 17:55 |
| houn_ | daevski: If I stop mpd playback, I still get nothing from Flash. | 17:55 |
| boknoy | hmm... why not add 9.10 to your menu.lst? | 17:55 |
| shastry | houn_: sudo lsof /dev/snd/* | 17:55 |
| daevski | houn_: Just a thought... that's my problem right now :-p | 17:55 |

| rascal911 | I know someone who has a wubi install and everytime they try and boot into ubuntu it drops into busybox, this is because windows wasn't shutdown properly, the disk wasn't cleanly unmounted, which is what ubuntu says before dropping to bb, what's the mount command and subsequent commands to get ubuntu working again?

| mattgyver | shipleythump: so ubuntu is having the timeout issue? | 18:18 |

| shipleythump | mattgyver, yes, seems that way, but i'm not having trouble with anything else.. just that one file | 18:18 |
| Scunizi | shipleythump: you don't "download" it.. in the guest machine look in hte upper left corner at the menu item "Devices".. | 18:18 |

| shipleythump | Scunizi, i tried that first, and 3rd and about 20 different times after that | 18:19 |
| Scunizi | shipleythump: it mounts a "virtual cdrom" in your window instance.. you'll find it in "My Computer" | 18:19 |

| n8tuser | asfjio -> using su - root does not give you that? | 18:20 |
| shipleythump | Scunizi, but you have to have the .iso before you can mount it | 18:20 |
| daevski | maco, houn_, boknoy: it was just XMMS hogging the sound by using OSS by default :( Sorry for all the rukus! | 18:20 |
| houn_ | Now multiple apps can use the sound card. | 18:20 |
| fanno | n8tuser: thats why i was thinking maybe a script could be added to the "runlevel" folders and execure a script when that happens | 18:20 |
| Pyrophelia | Software raid array that is | 18:21 |
| Scunizi | shipleythump: no.. it's part of the normal vbox install. | 18:21 |
| houn_ | daevski: Heh. I used to love xmms back in the day. | 18:21 |
| shipleythump | Scunizi, well vbox isn't seeing it | 18:21 |
| daevski | houn_: what do you use now? | 18:21 |
| n8tuser | fanno -> sure one can add a script, i would do it in where the nic interface is shutdown.. | 18:21 |
| mattgyver | Scunizi: I think it only comes if you have downloaded the guest additions package which is what is timing out for him | 18:21 |
| shipleythump | Scunizi, so it asks if it should download it. so I tell it yes, and it times out always at 22% | 18:21 |
| n810debian | which version of ubuntu should i download to install on my N810 armel architecture computer? | 18:21 |
| asfjio | n8tuser: no. | 18:21 |
| mlm | mattgyver: that only does audio right? | 18:21 |
| fanno | n8tuser: also if i added a script with a "loop" to wait untill the backup is finished ? | 18:21 |
| daevski | houn_: I just got sondbird for my iPod and it plays audio pretty well. (still an alpha release of it, so it screwed up my iPod playlists though lol) | 18:22 |
| dementor | hy how can i arping all my 255 ips | 18:22 |
| mattgyver | mlm, yes it does only do audio | 18:22 |
| Scunizi | shipleythump: so when you go to Devices>Install Guest Additions.. then go to "My Computer" in Windows.. and look for the cdrom labeled Vbox Guest additions.. you don't see anything? | 18:22 |
| houn_ | daevski: Right now I'm running mpd at home, stream to icecast, which I connect to with mpd locally. | 18:22 |
| houn_ | :D | 18:22 |
| Scunizi | shipleythump: have you actually install xp yet into the virtual machine? | 18:22 |
| n8tuser | fanno yes, look at the script for making firefox load via tmpfs, the script they have backsup before doing things.. | 18:22 |
| shipleythump | Scunizi, when i go to device>install guest additions, it tells me it can't find it, then it tries to download it. and times out | 18:22 |
| mattgyver | mlm, brainfart you need video and audio | 18:22 |
| daevski | houn_: sounds kewl, I'll look into it :-p | 18:22 |

| shipleythump | Scunizi, why is 2.1.4 the latest that shows up in my synaptic | 18:27 |
| Scunizi | shipleythump: Ubuntu doesn't upgrade each program to the latest as it comes out.. it might cause breakage and they simply don't have time to do that for the several releases they support at one time.. | 18:28 |
| mazda01 | having problems installing a new kernel image, it says it can't find /etc/modprobe.d/oss-compat.conf, when I look at that file, i see a broken link to /lib/oss-compat/linux. does anyone else have that file located in /lib/oss-compat/linux? | 18:28 |

| Slart | EagleSn: are you sure there is one? | 19:04 |
| studentz | jrwcox look at this link http://www.openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Brother-MFC-240C | 19:04 |
| Scunizi | jrwcox: you installed the brother driver from terminal .. right? | 19:05 |
| EagleSn | yes, Slart i have readed that there is in the Ubuntu CD, a .exe | 19:05 |
| === Theexperts is now known as KSP | ||
| jrwcox | i typed in what the directions said in the terminal, didn't work that way, so I used install from file | 19:05 |

| === SnakDoc_ is now known as SnakDoc | ||
| Slart | EagleSn: well.. I couldn't find anything useful on their site.. why not download an ubuntu live cd and get it from that one | 19:06 |
| Scunizi | jrwcox: I didn't know they now have an "install from file" option.. I have a MFC7440N networked at home and it work fine for printing.. but that's just about it.. scanning works only when using xsane as root.. not recommended. | 19:07 |
| kins | just go to printer configuration and try disbling the printer and enabling it again | 19:07 |
| EagleSn | Slart: i will have to download all CD | 19:07 |
| nxnn14 | no one has any ideas on this Unsupported PM Caps regs version(7) thing and why my network card would only work after a reboot? | 19:07 |
| EagleSn | and see if is true that i readed | 19:07 |
| lukasz | kjl | 19:07 |
| jrwcox | wel, I clicked on the install lpr and cu (forget what it is called, and it automaticaaly installed | 19:08 |
| jrwcox | done that | 19:08 |
| Slart | EagleSn: hmm.. hang on.. let me check if I've got the iso somewhere.. | 19:08 |
| Scunizi | jrwcox: perhaps you're referring to the ubuntu auto installer.. not the brother installer. | 19:08 |
| jrwcox | okay, maybe | 19:09 |
| jrwcox | sorry, completly new at ubuntu | 19:09 |
| jrwcox | so what do I do then? | 19:09 |
| Scunizi | jrwcox: the brother drivers are not easy to install.. you have to bounce around on their site for all the ubuntu instructions.. | 19:09 |
| EagleSn | Slart: i have got the Kubuntu CD and it isn't there, but it may be in the Ubuntu CD | 19:10 |
| jrwcox | okay | 19:10 |
| Scunizi | jrwcox: do just the printing portion first.. then the rest | 19:10 |
| FirstSgt | What do i do if my numberpad wont type and will just move my cursor? | 19:10 |
| iceroot | EagleSn: what is not on the kubuntu-cd? | 19:10 |
| jrwcox | do I need to uninstall the printer again? | 19:10 |
| Slart | FirstSgt: check the numlock key | 19:10 |
| Scunizi | jrwcox: no not really | 19:10 |
| FirstSgt | Slart: its on | 19:10 |
| x-Na | I just upgraded my server from Jaunty to Karmic RC. Seems that everything else went fine, but my mysql doesn't want to start. /etc/init.d/mysql start just says "fail" and nothing is written to logs. | 19:10 |
| EagleSn | iceroot: Windows version of usb-creator | 19:11 |
| jrwcox | so, I should just be able to type in the terminal? | 19:11 |
| FirstSgt | i've even tried scroll lock :) | 19:11 |
| iceroot | EagleSn: hm that may be a gnome-tool, yes | 19:11 |
| nxnn14 | can someone even explain this type of thing where my network card would only work after a reboot and it has the error Unsupported PM Caps regs version(7)? | 19:11 |
| FirstSgt | but the number pad just moves the cursor in gnome | 19:11 |
| llutz | x-Na: karmic #ubuntu+1 | 19:11 |
| Scunizi | FirstSgt: there is a bug about that.. check in System>Preferences>Assistive Services.. and see if the numpad is tagged as the pointing device | 19:11 |
| iceroot | EagleSn: you can also use apt-get to install software which is not on the cd | 19:11 |
| x-Na | llutz, k | 19:12 |
| EagleSn | iceroot: Windows version of it | 19:12 |
| Slart | FirstSgt: hmm.. then I don't really know.. I could have bet serious money on the numlock key being the solution.. not sure what else could have that effect | 19:12 |

| maco | shavinder: why not "mv" it? | 19:34 |
| maco | Pirate_Hunter: so you can keep your data | 19:34 |
| joshritger | Slart: thanks | 19:34 |
| maco | shavinder: so you can keep your data | 19:34 |
| shavinder | maco: do you mean move the current /home to new partition first and then mount it? | 19:34 |
| maco | Pirate_Hunter: confusion! | 19:34 |
| micro | maco, yes thank you | 19:34 |
| shavinder | maco: well since its a new install there is no data yet | 19:34 |
| maco | shavinder: mount the new one at like /mnt/home, mv everything, then remount it to....oh ok then sure, you can just mkdir it | 19:35 |
| maco | shavinder: make sure you set the right owner on the directories | 19:35 |
| jrwcox | studentz: can't find drivers | 19:35 |
| Pirate_Hunter | maco: no not confused it is just that I forgot I can play music through it :p weird I know | 19:35 |
| joshritger | Slart: do you know if the first workspace is 0 or 1 | 19:35 |
| shavinder | maco: if i move it using mv will the permissions remain intact? | 19:35 |
| jrwcox | studentz:there is no foomatic or ppd file | 19:36 |
| maco | Pirate_Hunter: no i got confused because you talked while i was answering shavinder so then i directed my answer for shavinder to you | 19:36 |
| Slart | joshritger: according to wmctrl I've only got one named "0" | 19:36 |
| maco | shavinder: think so, yeah | 19:36 |
| maco | shavinder: you can always check with ls -l. itd only be the top level directory that might change | 19:36 |

| ShackJack | Flash plugin question. The Adobe Flash performance is pretty poor (playing flash games, etc... on Facebook).

| BlouBlou | t_: via bluetooth or usb? | 20:11 |
| t_ | bloublou usb | 20:11 |
| btthalion | ShackJack: I think the biggest thing that affects flash perf right now is video drivers. I hear the newest intel drivers in Karmic result in watchable full screen flash videos... But, AFAIK, from a compatibility standpoint and a performance standpoint, official flash 10 is the best you'll get... | 20:11 |
| Scunizi | daevski: are you trying to wipe sda? | 20:11 |
| daevski | Scunizi: no just sda1. it's my own windwos partition that I now need for other things | 20:12 |
| daevski | Scunizi: sda is currently holding ubuntu and some audio for me. It's in 3 partitions I believe, one is old windows install. | 20:12 |
| ShackJack | btthalion: O.K. There's this one FB game, Cafe World, and it pegs the processor of a few year old PENTIUM M 740... and chugs quite a bit.. Hopefully 10.1 will improve things... | 20:12 |
| Scunizi | daevski: have you tried gparted? after install it comes up as Partition Manager in System>Admin.. that will format sda1 for you after unmounting it. | 20:13 |

| Gaming4JC | Ok I read it over, it seems that I will be needing that alternate installation CD. Do you know if and where I might find that come the launch date for 9.10? :) | 20:18 |
| Scunizi | Gaming4JC: ubuntu.com | 20:19 |

| PreZ | Maybe a little off-topic, but is there any way to 'refresh' a laptop battery? One of my laptop batteries can now only hold 66% of the original amount of charge it could hold, dramatically reducing the time I can spend off-power. | 20:21 |
| Flannel | PreZ: Not really | 20:22 |
| shane2peru | Does anyone know where to buy computers that already have linux - preferably Ubuntu pre-installed?? | 20:23 |
| Scunizi | PreZ: if it's nickel-metal-hydride drain it then charge .. repeat for several cycles.. lythium for get about it. | 20:23 |
| Gaming4JC | Ok, I'm nearly set for the transition to 9.10. But one last question... is there any way I can download the entire repository without having to manually download packages from packages.ubuntu.com? I really need the basics like gstreamer, my graphics card driver, etc. and it takes around 4hrs on my dial-up line. :( | 20:23 |
| Gaming4JC | I figure I can go to a highspeed place or pay some one to make a repo disk. :P | 20:23 |
| Scunizi | !aptoncd | Gaming4JC | 20:23 |

| ckw | Can I just whine for a second here? Are there any plans to have an updater that doesn't require constant monitoring? | 20:23 |
| PreZ | Hrm, I think it's a Lithium Hydroxide, but I need to check, I know my (much older) laptop uses a NiMH | 20:23 |
| ckw | I understand you need to ask which config version I want | 20:23 |
| shane2peru | silverglade00: directly from dell? | 20:23 |
| Scunizi | PreZ: if it's lithium.. buy a new one.. | 20:24 |
| Flannel | ckw: What part of your updater requires monitoring? | 20:24 |
| ckw | but couldn't that be done quickly, allowing the rest of hte update to happen while I'm eating lunch, etc | 20:24 |
| Jordan_U_ | Gaming4JC: The Ubuntu DVD contains all of main and restricted | 20:24 |

| ckw | It pops up a window and pauses the update until I answer | 20:25 |
| Flannel | ckw: Ah, that. That is the very end of the updating, everything's already downloaded at that point, so it should be quick. | 20:25 |
| Gaming4JC | Sunizi: That'll work, assuming I use Ubuntu to get the files. But most libraries use Windows XP still, leaving me unable to download them from there. Jordan_U_: Ok, I'll be keeping my eye out for the DVD. :) | 20:25 |
| === root is now known as Bodsda | ||
| ckw | Everything has been downloaded | 20:25 |
| ckw | this is during install | 20:25 |
| ckw | I had a few dialogs that happened pretty soon in the install phase | 20:25 |
| shane2peru | silverglade00: got it! Thanks! | 20:25 |
| PreZ | Scunizi, well, luckily when I bought the laptop, I got 2 battery packs (mainly for long plane trips when one would not last the whole trip) ... recently I've not had to go on any long trips, so the second battery is still at 90% of original charge ;P | 20:25 |
| ckw | if I had gone for a few hours to find them, I would still have a bunch of packages left | 20:25 |
| ckw | and more dialogs | 20:25 |
| ckw | If there were some sort of preproccessing where all those dialogs were asked before the rest of the packages are installed | 20:26 |
| ckw | I could then leave the system alone while it updates and not have to break up as much of my normal life | 20:26 |
| Gaming4JC | Can anyone suggest to Canonical that they should have a bunch of Repository disks for sale? I'm sure people like myself would love getting the whole repo for offline use and be willing to pay the $$. xP | 20:27 |
| steve2 | hey guys got a prob | 20:28 |
| Jordan_U_ | Gaming4JC: You can do it yourself at http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/ | 20:28 |

| Scunizi | steve2: k3b | 20:29 |
| steve2 | I can get it through the terminal | 20:30 |
| ckw | Flannel, I know it's a small thing and this probably isn't the place | 20:30 |
| Jordan_U_ | Gaming4JC: zyxware.com used to sell repo CD/DVDs also | 20:30 |
| Scunizi | steve2: sudo apt-get install k3b | 20:30 |

| ckw | (having all dialogs at the beginning of the upgrade process) | 20:30 |
| Flannel | ckw: File a bug at launchpad | 20:30 |
| mayki | would that be considered a bug? | 20:31 |
| Flannel | ckw: It won't be able to do them at the beginning, it would have to be at the end. | 20:31 |
| nerdy_kid | i have a program that keep notifiying me of stuff i dont care about, how can i shut it up? | 20:31 |
| Flannel | mayki: It could be, or a wishlist, either way launchpad would be appropriate | 20:31 |

| xago | People, I have evolution installed on my system, but when I try to open an attached file, I received following message "Could not open the link. No application is registered as handling file" Some may tell what's wrong? | 20:32 |
| mayki | ah | 20:32 |
| ckw | if the package installers were split up into sections that may need human interaction and non human interaction | 20:32 |
| Flannel | ckw: Because at the beginning of the upgrade it has no idea what files will be updated/which files you've modified (to ask you which to keep) | 20:32 |
| ckw | Yes | 20:32 |
| Gaming4JC | Jordan_U_: Sounds interesting on that store... Also would you know if the DVD of Ubuntu would allow me to upgrade my existing installation, or will I have to get the alternate install for that? | 20:33 |
| ckw | What I am saying is if the package installers would be split up into two sections, one that checked for files that may need human interaction, the other that used the precious data to actually install | 20:33 |
| Gaming4JC | Jordan_U_: Just so I know if I have to go download both, or just one big one. lol :) | 20:33 |
| ckw | Then the data collections part could be run before the package is actually installed | 20:33 |
| Jordan_U_ | Gaming4JC: The DVD will allow you to upgrade | 20:34 |
| ckw | Flannel, it wouldn't even be too hard to make backward compatible | 20:34 |
| Gaming4JC | Jordan_U_: Amazing, thanks for the help! I'll be sure to get the DVD when it comes out in 6 days. :D | 20:34 |

| Blehk | Is there any suggestions on what to use for live hd-repartitioning? (I can't have these comps go down) Would that leave out gparted? Or can I resize on the fly? | 20:34 |
| Flannel | ckw: File a bug, you don't need to convince me. | 20:35 |
| Scunizi | Blehk: if you had LVM installed then yes.. otherwise I'm not aware of anything but gparted | 20:35 |
| daevski | Anyone using vsftpd here? -- I had it installed and working previously, but decided to start from scratch (reinstall) and now /etc/init.d/vsftpd doesn't respond, but the file does exist in that location. I'm not really sure what to do about this :-? | 20:35 |
| Blehk | Scunizi: it's all ext3, but can gparted do it on the fly? | 20:35 |
| genii | I don't think any live-repartitioning/resizing software could safely exist | 20:36 |
| Scunizi | Blehk: not without unmounting the drive.. LVM works with ext3 but has to be installed at the time of the partition/drive creation | 20:36 |
| Scunizi | I think | 20:36 |
| mayki | i have a question, why is it that when firefox doesn't close completely, i can't open a new one? i get the message "Firefox is already running, but is not responding.

| grawity | daevski: It's _you_ who should create a SSL cert for your server. | 20:44 |

| ubottu | babak: To re-enable the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace combination that restarts your X server, you can install the "dontzap" package and use the command « sudo dontzap --disable ». The combination Alt+SysRq+K can also be used to obtain a similar effect. | 20:44 |

| sdwrage | like if I wanted to see where guake is installed... | 20:46 |
| grawity | daevski: Well yeah, Debian and Ubuntu do create one for you, but it's really better to do it yourself - no matter if it's an issued one or self-signed. | 20:46 |

| flan_suse | I understand that Ubuntu uses HAL to mount and present hot-pluggable devices, such as USB drives. You can even right-click the drive icon and select "Unmount". However, how can this be done via a bash script? Unmount requires root privileges, it seems. | 21:02 |

| Harrison_Bergero | hello all. I dont know what i just did so i dont know how to describe what happened. All my windows in Ubuntu are different | 21:17 |
| prince_jammys | isabel575: xubuntu-desktop is a metapackage (a package with a list of dependencies, so that all the dependencies get installed). when you remove it, none of the other packages get removed. | 21:18 |
| grawity | Sirisian|Work: Actually, it means cups is listening on it (waiting for connections) | 21:18 |
| Harrison_Bergero | I cant close them or minimize | 21:18 |
| trism | isabel575: you could try sudo apt-get remote xubuntu-desktop then sudo apt-get autoremove, that should work | 21:18 |
| isabel575 | prince_jammys, how do i get rid of xfce then? | 21:18 |
| Harrison_Bergero | the tops of the windows "disappeared" | 21:18 |

| prince_jammys | isabel575: you'd have to find and remove all the packages (or one that they all depend on) do you want a gnome-only system? | 21:19 |
| Harrison_Bergero | zaoul1...standard installation I assume so | 21:19 |
| grawity | Sirisian|Work: http://www.cups.org/ | 21:19 |

| JoeSomebody | shawn_ will 9.04 be ok? will win7 see the ext3? | 21:19 |
| grawity | harisund: Both. | 21:19 |
| shawn_ | JoeSomebody, Win7 wont see it Grub will let you choose which to boot into | 21:19 |
| Scunizi | JoeSomebody: if you're dual booting there are drivers to make windows see ext3. I don't know if they currently work on win7... if you virtualize Ubuntu inside of windows you won't have any issues.. | 21:20 |
| bastidrazor | !clone | harisund | 21:20 |
| ubottu | harisund: 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 | 21:20 |

But in the place I moved to I no longer can connect to ethernet, so w-lan is the only option to connect to the internet, that's why I figured I gonna have a problem after I'll have installed Ubuntu 9.10 on my PC, because then I won't be able to run the "Hardware-driver" tool to download the right driv | 21:20 |

| Lenny1729 | eaxexee: I'm gonna download the image and do a fresh installation of Ubuntu 9.10 to get ext4 | 21:21 |

| eitreach | Scunizi, Composite works fine, Gnome just won't start it automatically. I have to manually start Compiz. | 21:25 |
| isabel575 | trism, will the autoremove work for the kde libraries too? | 21:25 |
| Lenny1729 | eaxexee: Okay, okay and then after that run the "hardware driver" tool, right? | 21:25 |
| Roasted | I want a user to be able to read/write/do whatever inside of /media/storage, but I dont want them to be able to delete storage. | 21:25 |
| Roasted | so what permission to I assign to the folder? | 21:25 |
| feather7 | #ubuntu-pl | 21:25 |
| isabel575 | bastidrazor, thank you :) | 21:25 |
| trism | isabel575: autoremove just removes dependencies that were automatically installed, after they aren't needed | 21:25 |
| angelv | yes by example i have this text http://pastebin.ca/1640675 | 21:25 |
| Roasted | wait | 21:25 |
| Roasted | I just realized the answer to myq uestion | 21:25 |
| angelv | ist old... but have the information | 21:25 |
| Scunizi | eitreach: ah.. go to System>Preferences>Appearance>Visual Effects and make a change there. | 21:25 |
| eaxexee | Lenny1729: Well, Ndiswrapper is a tool designed to user Propetary (Can't remember how to spell it sorry) drivers in Linux so I don't think you would need it afterwards | 21:26 |
| === Brenden_ is now known as Brenden` | ||
| Roasted | a user cannot delete a folder they dont own. So if I own the folder, yet give everybody else group access, even if its RWX access they cant delet /media/storage if they dont own it. | 21:26 |
| PyroPhelia | Does anybody know if there is such a program that will allow me to keep track of multiple dynamic IP hosts remotely. I know viruses can do it, is there anything that can do that legitly? | 21:26 |
| bastidrazor | isabel575: best of luck. please come back and let us know how well that link works for you. | 21:26 |
| eitreach | Scunizi, tried that. | 21:26 |
| Roasted | figured out ;) | 21:26 |
| guntbert | Roasted: to delete a file you need write perms on the directory - so if someone has only rx on a directory he should not be able to delete/create files in there - but please test it | 21:26 |
| Lenny1729 | eaxexee: is there no way to download the file, that "hardware drivers" tool would download manually it provide it via a USB stick to the system | 21:26 |
| Scunizi | eitreach: does it let you bump the setting to the highest? | 21:26 |
| zaoul1 | guntbert: he wants to write though | 21:26 |
| eitreach | Scunizi, Yeah. | 21:26 |
| isabel575 | bastidrazor, where can i find out whihc ubuntu i'm on? | 21:26 |
| eaxexee | Lenny1729: I actually don't know, sorry :/ | 21:26 |
| Lenny1729 | skydart: uname -r? | 21:27 |
| eitreach | It has worked before, just not for a while now. | 21:27 |
| Scunizi | eitreach: are you trying to get the cube? | 21:27 |
| Lenny1729 | http://gobolinux.org/index.php | 21:27 |
| bastidrazor | isabel575: in a terminal type lsb_release -a | 21:27 |
| eitreach | Scunizi, I want Compiz because of the desktop switching capabilities. | 21:27 |
| Roasted | zaoul1 - its all good. I just realized the answer to my question above. If I own /media/storage and give the users group access, even RWX access, they can read/write but they cant delete /media/storage itself. They can delete stuff inside, but not /media/storage (the root folder, more or less) | 21:27 |
| Roasted | which is what I wanted | 21:27 |
| guntbert | zaoul1: of course, write perms on the file and rx on the directory should do just that (if I remember correctly) | 21:27 |
| Lenny1729 | eaxexee: okay, but thanks for your help anyway! It's always great to see how friendly users are in this chat | 21:27 |
| eitreach | Scunizi, I've been using it for a few years now - I just can't get Gnome to start Compiz on its own. :) | 21:27 |
| eaxexee | Lenny1729: You are more than welcome :) | 21:27 |
| isabel575 | bastidrazor, these commands will not erase any of my files will they? | 21:27 |
| isabel575 | the home/usr stuff | 21:28 |
| bastidrazor | isabel575: nothing in your home folder will be touched.. | 21:28 |
| quentusrex | How do I find out why packages were held back? | 21:28 |
| Scunizi | eitreach: not sure where to guide you here.. if nobody else chimes in try #ubuntu-effects or #compiz | 21:28 |
| zaoul1 | angelv: can you manually mount /dev/md0 ? | 21:28 |
| eitreach | Scunizi, alright. Thanks for trying. | 21:28 |
| angelv | zaoul1, please note the line: 03 and 04 | 21:29 |

| gm4486 | hi, can i have a bit of help, I accidentaly deleted the sound volume control (up, right corner). Could sb tell me the name of the programm please? | 21:29 |
| eaxexee | Hi there, I have 3 monitors(15",19" and 19") set up in this order: 15", 19", 19", and I want ALL of them to be used at the same time. I have 2 nvidia cards installed to handle it but right now I can only use the two 19" and have the last one as a separate x screen, which is NOT what I want, what I want is the same as "dualview" just with 3 screens.. | 21:29 |
| angelv | yes, i mount manually with mdadm --assemble --scan --config=/etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf | 21:29 |
| angelv | assembly, later mount mount /dev/md0 /home/raid5 | 21:30 |
| trism | gm4486: right click on the panel, add to panel, scroll down to volume control | 21:30 |
| _akahige_ | I uninstalled Wine since I wasn't using it and the apps I'd installed under Wine still appear in the apps menu. how can I get rid of them? | 21:30 |
| angelv | but i have the line on my fstab /dev/md0/home/raid5autodefaults03 | 21:30 |
| k5ehx | akappa: there is a menu editor | 21:30 |
| MostafaSheshtawy | I can't HEAR anything on my uubuntu 9.04 x64 !!!!! Anyhelp !?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! | 21:31 |
| k5ehx | doh, last for _akahige_ | 21:31 |
| DSpair | Scunizi: KVM, Kernel Virtual Machine | 21:31 |
| gm4486 | trism thank you a lot | 21:31 |
| antonio_bust | wois | 21:31 |
| yoyoned | !alsa|MostafaSheshtawy | 21:31 |
| ubottu | MostafaSheshtawy: 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 | 21:31 |
| _akahige_ | k5ehx: :) are the apps *just* in the menu, or are they installed somewhere? (obviously I can't check that since wine's no longer installed) | 21:31 |
| Scunizi | DSpair: that I would be lost on.. sorry | 21:31 |
| k5ehx | _akahige_: I believe there is a ~/.wine folder that contains your "virtual C drive", you could look for that and delete it also | 21:32 |
| angelv | in the past all mount automatically | 21:32 |
| janisozaur | does ati 9.10 driver work with 2.6.31? | 21:32 |
| zleap1 | sound issues - i find doing sudo alsa reload can fix it someimes | 21:32 |
| zleap1 | sometimes | 21:32 |
| grawity | k5ehx: yep, ~/.wine/drive_c/ | 21:32 |
| DSpair | Scunizi: Thanks anyhow!! | 21:32 |
| ghostman | blubber? | 21:32 |
| _akahige_ | k5ehx & grawity : thanks! | 21:32 |
| k5ehx | _akahige_: yeah, deleting that will delete your programs installed to wine | 21:32 |
| nightangel | im tring to Download a Free MMORPG and it wont let me install the client hwo can i get it to install | 21:33 |
| zaoul1 | angelv: maybe try adding the UUID of the array into fstab | 21:33 |
| gnubie | MostafaSheshtawy, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/sound-solutions-for-ubuntu-904-jaunty-users.html have you looked here? | 21:33 |
| angelv | when have the UUID? of /dev/md0 | 21:33 |
| Flannel | nightangel: What are you trying to install? | 21:33 |
| ghostman | ifn you kick me i`ll whine bitter tears of lost! ;) | 21:33 |
| trism | nightangel: depends if the mmo supports linux or not (unlikely), if it is windows only, you'll need wine, and then it may or may not work anyway | 21:33 |
| angelv | what is the command for get the UUID? | 21:34 |

| Cpt_Zyph | quick Q's about the 2 different install downloads. Is ther a download that has both the desktop install and server install.. as i may want to use the GUI on teh server untill i get the hang of things a bit mroe and then reinstall or remove the extra's at a later date.. then also have the same install for setting up the client machines .. or is this just not what ubuntu does? | 21:35 |
| Scunizi | ubuntistas: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 21:35 |
| antonio_bust | k5ehx wois | 21:35 |
| angelv | TYPE="ext3" SEC_TYPE="ext2" | 21:35 |
| k5ehx | antonio_bust: ? | 21:36 |
| illuminati | hi | 21:36 |
| Scunizi | Cpt_Zyph: you can install the desktop versiona and add the server bits or vice verse | 21:36 |
| k5ehx | hello, illuminati | 21:36 |
| illuminati | does someone use tor ? | 21:36 |
| illuminati | hi k5ehx | 21:36 |
| Flannel | Cpt_Zyph: If you want a GUI, just install the desktop version and you can remove the GUI stuff later on | 21:36 |
| krummlauf | hey | 21:36 |
| krummlauf | so uh | 21:36 |
| krummlauf | i just installed ubuntu | 21:36 |
| Cpt_Zyph | rgr that thanks guys so desktop = best for single disk options on install .. rgr that | 21:36 |
| krummlauf | how do i make it work? | 21:36 |
| Flannel | Cpt_Zyph: If you want to download a single CD that'll let you do either, the Alternate CD will let you install a GUI, or GUI-less system. | 21:36 |

| krummlauf | like tried to install flash | 21:38 |

| krummlauf | its the dumbest thing ever4 | 21:39 |
| nightangel | yea i did but its not opening | 21:39 |

| guntbert | ? | 21:43 |
| krummlauf | yeah it works | 21:43 |
| krummlauf | it just wont accept my freakin code | 21:43 |
| arvind_khadri | krummlauf, as you arent doing it the way its supposed to be | 21:43 |

| nightangel | ok so where is this chmod 755 located at im kinda new to ubuntu | 21:43 |
| LjL | !flash > krummlauf (krummlauf, see the private message from ubottu) | 21:43 |
| krummlauf | ok | 21:43 |
| Ahadiel | krummlauf, Maybe if you showed us the "code" you used | 21:43 |
| LjL | krummlauf: you're being too specific in the description of your problems, really | 21:43 |
| LjL | krummlauf: also, *i am being sarcastic* | 21:43 |
| krummlauf | :P | 21:43 |
| k5ehx | LjL: lol, exactly | 21:43 |
| krummlauf | well, i cant really describe it because im on windows | 21:43 |
| guntbert | LjL: are you sure that irony is in place here? ("generic") | 21:43 |
| krummlauf | and i was drunk while i did this | 21:43 |
| LjL | guntbert: i am sure that trolling isn't, and i strongly suspect this is a case of it | 21:44 |
| Cpt_Zyph | does ubuntu come out with new versions every 6 months or longer? | 21:44 |
| trism | nightangel: chmod 755 file_name_here on the command line Applications/Accessories/Terminal, make sure you are in the same directory as the file | 21:44 |
| krummlauf | so if i switched to ubuntu, i wouldnt be able to get on irc | 21:44 |

| krummlauf | because it wont install anything | 21:44 |

| trism | nightangel: ls lists the contents of directories and cd changes directories | 21:44 |
| krummlauf | dude i am not trolling | 21:44 |
| arvind_khadri | Cpt_Zyph, yes | 21:44 |
| nightangel | so if the file is on desktop that is the directory that i need right | 21:45 |
| krummlauf | i was drunk while trying to use ubuntu | 21:45 |
| LjL | krummlauf: "sudo apt-get install xchat" will allow you to install an IRC client (xchat - substitute "irssi" for installing irssi). if that doesn't work, i'm afraid you *will* hav to copy down the actual errors and tell us. | 21:45 |
| krummlauf | ljl: ok | 21:45 |
| krummlauf | fine | 21:45 |
| Scunizi | Cpt_Zyph: every 6 mths.. yes.. and every 3 years is a LTS release.. long term support.. support for the other releases is 18 mths.. LTS server is 5 years | 21:45 |
| guntbert | LjL, Scunizi maybe your noses are more sensitive :) | 21:45 |
| krummlauf | thanks guys | 21:45 |
| trism | nightangel: yeah, on the desktop would be cd ~/Desktop (capital d is important) | 21:45 |
| LjL | !software > krummlauf (krummlauf, see the private message from ubottu) check this out too, and see what happens if you try installing while sober | 21:45 |
| krummlauf | btw i *DID* type that in | 21:45 |
| krummlauf | crappy dumb ubuntu gave me an error message | 21:45 |
| krummlauf | how is that good? | 21:45 |

| trism | nightangel: chmod 755 file_name_here, it makes a file executable | 21:49 |
| swindle | where do i add sbin to my path | 21:50 |
| Scunizi | nightangel: or sudo +x <filename> | 21:50 |
| nightangel | chmod 755 RegnumOnlineInstall_32 like that | 21:50 |
| trism | nightangel: yep | 21:50 |
| nightangel | so the entire line would look like nightangel@Wolf-Den:~/Desktop$ chmod 755 RegnumOnlineInstall_32 | 21:51 |
| trism | nightangel: yep | 21:51 |
| swindle | hehe found it | 21:51 |
| nightangel | nightangel@Wolf-Den:~/Desktop$ | 21:51 |
| nightangel | did it and thats was the next line | 21:51 |
| arvind_khadri | nightangel, that means it worked fine :) | 21:52 |
| mechdave | swindle, sbin should already be in your $PATH, use echo $PATH to see it | 21:52 |
| nightangel | ok mind explaining a lil bit what you had me just do | 21:52 |
| trism | nightangel: that's fine, now you probably need to sudo ./RegnumOnlineInstall_32 | 21:52 |
| janisozaur | i have some additional keys on my laptop, i remember that once there was utility called 'scancode' or 'scankey' that'd show what key code was received from keyboard, i can't find it in ubuntu repos now, though. how can i check what key code was sent from my kbd? | 21:52 |
| trism | nightangel: although they might let you install it locally | 21:52 |
| ZykoticK9 | swindle, FYI - having "." in your path, and your current /sbin in path is NOT a good idea for security. If you don't wish to follow *nix conventions that is your own business, but I'd suggest against it. Best of luck. | 21:53 |
| Cpt_Zyph | is the alternate torrent = the ppc version? | 21:53 |
| nightangel | so will that comand work on any game file that i want to install on my system | 21:53 |
| behappy | its possible to make ftp server to accept connection from specified ftp client user agent ? | 21:53 |
| Scunizi | Cpt_Zyph: no it's a text based installer | 21:53 |
| trism | Cpt_Zyph: alternate is the text-mode installer, it supports a few different install options | 21:53 |
| zleap1 | behappy, not sure but I think you can do that with ssh and scp | 21:54 |
| trism | nightangel: not necessarily, that is just the kind of installer they are using, some may use deb packages, or install scripts | 21:54 |
| docmax | i have a problem with gnome desktop... the icons are not positioning in a grid | 21:54 |
| dominique | hi - do you know a prog that display pressed keys (for making video tutoriials)? | 21:54 |
| zleap1 | or may be able to do something like that with hosts.allow not sure | 21:54 |
| arvind_khadri | janisozaur, xev ?? | 21:54 |
| Cpt_Zyph | i see.. well hummm god i feel tarded.. were is teh ppc release link.. ( i asked in #ubuntu-ppc how ever there were only 15 people in there and 0 response ) | 21:54 |
| usser | ZykoticK9, i thought having . in PATH is fine as long as it goes after /bin:/sbin etc | 21:55 |
| behappy | zleap1, with ftp its possble ? | 21:55 |
| zleap1 | forkhandles, - is your nick anything to do with the two ronnies sketch | 21:55 |
| docmax | i have a problem with gnome desktop... the icons are not positioning in a grid - like in windows... what can i do? | 21:55 |
| Scunizi | docmax: right mouse click in a blank area and see if "keep aligned" is checked | 21:55 |
| zleap1 | behappy, ok, not sure how to do it though | 21:55 |
| mechdave | janisozaur, try out showkey --> http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/intrepid/man1/showkey.1.html | 21:55 |
| ZykoticK9 | usser, well that's "better" anyways | 21:55 |
| arvind_khadri | Cpt_Zyph, google it.. | 21:55 |
| docmax | keep alinged is checked | 21:55 |
| janisozaur | mechdave, arvind_khadri thanks, i'll try these out | 21:56 |
| arvind_khadri | docmax, right click and do arrange by name | 21:56 |
| ZykoticK9 | !google | arvind_khadri | 21:56 |
| ubottu | arvind_khadri: While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. | 21:56 |
| janisozaur | mechdave: i think it was showkey, just with --scancode and i just remembered it name wrong ;) | 21:57 |
| docmax | arvind_khadri, they are aranged now... but when moving the are not really fixed.... the icons overlap easily... | 21:57 |
| midocrash | hi hackers | 21:57 |
| arvind_khadri | ZykoticK9, got it...would keep in mind | 21:57 |
| Scunizi | Cpt_Zyph: ah.. you still need ppc? they may have dropped it.... | 21:58 |
| arvind_khadri | docmax, i guess, thats how its meant to be...not sure though. | 21:58 |
| midocrash | i got Ubuntu today :) | 21:58 |
| midocrash | i take over of Windows | 21:58 |
| zleap1 | midocrash, cool | 21:58 |

| midocrash | very cool | 21:59 |
| arvind_khadri | !ppc > Cpt_Zyph | 21:59 |
| ubottu | Cpt_Zyph, please see my private message | 21:59 |
| docmax | can i change the desktop manager? | 21:59 |
| midocrash | it's so fast and simple | 21:59 |
| zleap1 | which version i take it 9.04 | 21:59 |
| midocrash | that's what i love of ubuntu | 21:59 |
| Scunizi | docmax: sure.. what do you want? | 21:59 |
| ZykoticK9 | midocrash, if you're looking for general Ubuntu chat use #ubuntu-offtopic -- #ubuntu is for support issues only | 21:59 |
| midocrash | OK | 21:59 |
| zleap1 | docmax, you can change between gnome / kde / xubuntu depending on what desktop you want | 21:59 |
| forkhandles | zleap1: funniest comedy sketch ever written :) | 21:59 |
| zleap1 | forkhandles, yeah | 21:59 |
| docmax | a manager which handles the icon-fixing better | 22:00 |
| zleap1 | i need some ose | 22:00 |
| zleap1 | no letter o's | 22:00 |
| zleap1 | lol | 22:00 |
| docmax | i installed ubuntu .. how can i switch gnome to xfce? | 22:00 |
| zleap1 | its on you tube somewhere | 22:00 |
| ZykoticK9 | zleap1, yes -- look at "sessions" in GDM when you log in - lets you choose with Desktop environment or Windows Manager you want | 22:00 |
| usser | docmax, you might try ditching icons altogether and go with gnome-do/docky | 22:00 |
| docmax | what is gnome-do? | 22:00 |
| zleap1 | ZykoticK9, don't they ahve to be installed though | 22:00 |
| Scunizi | docmax: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop then on the login screen change "sessions" to xfce4 | 22:01 |
| ZykoticK9 | zleap1, of course | 22:01 |
| usser | docmax, http://do.davebsd.com/ | 22:01 |
| Scunizi | usser: now that'll confuse him :) | 22:01 |
| Scunizi | usser: sorry.. didn't realize he was asking about it | 22:01 |
| zleap1 | its something like apt-get install xubuntu-desktop | 22:01 |
| scottica | hello... i'm interested in switching to ubuntu from windows xp and have two hard disks, both ntfs... one has my music files... i can't lose these files. will i be able to access my files without formatting the disk? | 22:02 |
| aguasala | ola | 22:02 |
| zleap1 | but you should be able to do that from synaptic | 22:02 |
| Scunizi | scottica: yes | 22:02 |
| PyroPhelia | if I have an ubuntu box running in run level 3, is it possible to have remote clients log in using remote desktop or does the xserver have to be active? | 22:02 |
| usser | Scunizi, he wasnt. i just kinda threw it out there. i know i havent needed icons on a desktop for a long while | 22:02 |
| scottica | scunizi: anything special need to be done? | 22:02 |
| aguasala | hello | 22:03 |
| aguasala | helloooooooooooooooooooo | 22:04 |
| jjnw | PyroPhelia, to use remote desktop type app, x has to be running. You should be able to ssh into the box and start x applications though. | 22:04 |
| Scunizi | scottica: are you going to eliminate windows entirly or do you want to dual boot or do you just want to test ubuntu to see if you like it? | 22:04 |
| mattgyver | scottica: it will recognize them automagically. Do you already have ubuntu installed or are you going to have to setup the partitions? | 22:04 |
| aguasala | whats that | 22:04 |
| scottica | scunizi: i'm planning on eliminating windows entirely | 22:04 |
| aguasala | windows va | 22:04 |
| PyroPhelia | jjnw, I know, but i'd rather not waste the ram on the system for 1 user who shouldn't have access to the server in the first place. If you don't know how to use the shell you shouldn't be using linux. but I got over ruled :( | 22:05 |
| PyroPhelia | jjnw, thanks though | 22:05 |

| mattgyver | scottica: i would backup your data, your gonna have to setup the partitoins for ubuntu and its easy to accidently wipe your data if you havent done it before. | 22:06 |
| jjnw | PyroPhelia, no problem. As far as I'm aware, remote desktops apps. are more 'screen scraper' | 22:06 |
| scottica | scunizi: no drm | 22:06 |
| vim-editor | hello | 22:06 |
| scottica | mattgyver: sounds good | 22:06 |
| aguasala | Hello, I am Spanish help not much of English but alone I say q windows in a roll | 22:06 |
| Scunizi | scottica: to be safe.. disconnect the music files drive when installing.. then there will be no oops moments | 22:06 |
| guntbert | !es | aguasala | 22:06 |
| ubottu | aguasala: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. | 22:06 |
| mattgyver | scottica: its not that hard but, i would do it. If yoru able to put ubuntu and your swap as the last partitions you can just leave the ntfs file systems and it will recognize them (you probably need to mount them manually, or add to fstab) | 22:07 |
| scottica | scunizi, mattgyver: thank you very much | 22:07 |
| Scunizi | mattgyver: he's going to use one entire drive for ubuntu and the other has music | 22:08 |

| Mariandroid | n8tuser: Oki, that was greek to me, but I figure I'll just go for it then | 22:38 |
| Mariandroid | n8tuser: thank you =) | 22:38 |
| n8tuser | Mariandroid -> read the ubottu paste again, its not difficult | 22:39 |
| jhaig | Is it possible to install the BBC iPlayer software (for downloading programmes rather than streaming) system wide? I noticed that it wants to install in /opt, but how can I make it available for all users, not just the user who installs it? | 22:39 |
| akappa | jhaig, why just don't use vlc? | 22:39 |
| akappa | or mplayer with dumping | 22:39 |
| guntbert | n8tuser: just a question: if Mariandroid messed up the permissions in his home directory - how would a reinstall help? | 22:39 |
| Scunizi | pyhacker: ctrl+alt+F2 log in.. then cd /etc/X11 and then ls to display files.. look for a backup of xorg.. might have a tilde ~ or .backup in the file name.. then mv <backup file> xorg.conf ... then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart | 22:40 |
| Mariandroid | it's not my home directory guntbert, it's my root | 22:40 |
| n8tuser | guntbert -> it would have root permission i supposed? so to recover it would not be extremely difficult for /home | 22:40 |
| Mariandroid | ( and 'her' ) | 22:40 |
| n8tuser | am assuming she only had one user too | 22:40 |
| pyhacker | Scunizi: thanks for repliying but i tried pressing ctrl+alt+F2 to log in but it doesn't work. It doesn't respond to anything once it shows the messed up pixels. | 22:41 |
| Mariandroid | n8tuser: there are four users... | 22:41 |
| daedaluz | so I was asking this in 4chan but they directed me here | 22:41 |
| Scunizi | pyhacker: hit the combination a couple of times in a row.. | 22:41 |
| daedaluz | if I were to install Ubuntu and wanted at some later point add another HDD, how could I expand my /home there? | 22:41 |
| n8tuser | Mariandroid -> perhaps you can take care of that first, change the perms of respective owners of /home/username1 for example | 22:42 |
| pyhacker | Scunizi: oh, I will try. | 22:42 |
| guntbert | Mariandroid: n8tuser ok sorry, I didn't look at the whole conversation - Mariandroid please follow n8tuser's advice | 22:42 |
| Scunizi | daedaluz: you could move your /home there with no problem.. if you just wanted to extend the space for /home you'll need to install LVM when you install ubuntu.. | 22:42 |
| * Mariandroid will try | 22:42 | |
| Mariandroid | n8tuser: guntbert: I'll try | 22:42 |
| n8tuser | Mariandroid -> do all four of them one by one | 22:42 |
| Scunizi | pyhacker: if that doesn't work.. on the boot grub menu there is a rescue option.. go there | 22:43 |
| daedaluz | Scunizi: ok. anything I should know about LVM vs. regular partitioning? | 22:43 |
| daedaluz | Scunizi: I know what LVM means | 22:43 |
| Scunizi | daedaluz: lots.. but I don't know how to use LVM.. it's been explained to me and I can see it's benefits but have never used it | 22:44 |

| RoastedTiresX | I'm trying to understand something with Linux permissions. How is it set up, exactly? It seems as if the permissions on certain files are really dictated by the folder they're in. For example, my folder I'm speaking of (storage) is owned by jason:smbusers with 775 permissions. "user" is a member of smbusers. On the account user, I can delete files within "storage" that are owned by jason:jason, so user has no involvement with o | 22:44 |
| RoastedTiresX | wning that particular file. Yet, Ican delete it. Is that because of the directory permissions being 775 with jason:smbusers as owner? | 22:44 |
| guntbert | daedaluz: see http://www.howtoforge.com/linux_lvm | 22:45 |
| Scunizi | RoastedTiresX: yep.. the user jason is a member of the smbusers group | 22:45 |
| RoastedTiresX | scunizi - right. but "user" is not a member of the group jason. Yet I can delete a file owned by jason:jason within storage when I'm logged in as user. Is that just becuase the folder the file is in (storage) is owned by group smbusers? | 22:46 |

| stuff | su root | 22:48 |
| n8tuser | RoastedTiresX -> including ability to read through a dir, is subject to the parents dir perms | 22:48 |
| stuff | or mount -rw | 22:48 |
| guntbert | !su | stuff | 22:48 |
| ubottu | stuff: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) | 22:48 |
| RoastedTiresX | billiard - But even though it "follows" the permissions of the parent directory, it doesn't "apply" them. For example - storage is owned by jason:smbusers. Why is it when I add a file within storage, it takes on jason:jason permissions and not jason:smbusers if it follows the parent directory? | 22:49 |
| system4041 | anyone help please | 22:49 |
| yoyoned | !noroot|stuff | 22:49 |

| system4041 | guys need help moving files from ext3 to ntfs partition via live cd i keep getting access denied | 22:49 |
| Billiard | RoastedTiresX: by default new files take the owner and group of the creator, you can set the setgid bit on the directory then new files will be created with the directory's group id | 22:49 |
| k5ehx | system4041: you need to mount the NTFS partition read / write | 22:50 |
| RoastedTiresX | Billiard - hmm, how do I set the setgid? Is that a bad idea (security issue?) | 22:50 |
| system4041 | k5ehx: but im in a live cd i need to move files from my unbootable ubuntu 9.04 to my bootable windows 7 ntfs partition | 22:50 |
| Billiard | RoastedTiresX: chmod g+s directory | 22:50 |
| stuff | lol, I forgot, this is ubuntu | 22:51 |
| stuff | lol | 22:51 |
| RoastedTiresX | Billiard - ...thats it? If I just run chmod g+s on storage thats all I need to do? | 22:51 |
| RoastedTiresX | Billiard - what does the g+s stand for? | 22:51 |
| stuff | anyway, when is UNR 9.10 out? | 22:51 |
| k5ehx | system4041: um, I can't remember. The live CD used to mount things read only. | 22:51 |
| Billiard | RoastedTiresX: its not a security issue if you want files in that directory to automatically have the group set | 22:52 |
| Scunizi | RoastedTiresX: permissions is a long discussion.. and I don't have it all down.. basically if the file/folder is owned by you only then you have full permission. if you are a member of a group that is not your group then you have rights to that group but still typically need sudo to delete files there. | 22:52 |
| system4041 | k5ehx: basicly i need sudo access to my ext3 partition via live cd so as to move files to my ntfs partition | 22:52 |
| siekacz | .j #chipp[l | 22:52 |
| RoastedTiresX | scunizi - unless that group has RWX rights. | 22:52 |
| k5ehx | system4041: it should mount your ext3 partition if it is valid | 22:52 |
| Scunizi | RoastedTiresX: yes.. rwxrwxrwx.. permissions are 3 blocks of 3 | 22:53 |
| k5ehx | system4041: if not you may have to repair it | 22:53 |
| guntbert | !permissions | RoastedTiresX | 22:53 |
| ubottu | RoastedTiresX: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 22:53 |
| system4041 | k5ehx: it is valid but i dont have the access to move the files it keeps saying access denied | 22:53 |
| RoastedTiresX | scunizi - right... but if the group has rwx permissions, the group can freely delete/write files as they wish. | 22:53 |
| k5ehx | system4041: you want to copy instead of move, and you have to mount the NTFS partition writable to do that. | 22:53 |
| system4041 | k5ehx: like trying to edit a file in live cd u have to open it with sudo in gedit in order to save your changes well i need such access in file explorer so as to move my files | 22:53 |

| k5ehx | system4041: ahh, I think you want to use gksudo and run the browser (nautilus?) manually | 22:54 |
| system4041 | k5ehx: The folder ".ssh" cannot be handled because you do not have permissions to read it. | 22:54 |
| RoastedTiresX | Billiard - I just ran chmod g+s on a folder to test it, and ls -l gave me this. drwxrwsr-x 2 jason smbusers 4096 2009-10-23 17:53 x. What's with the rws? | 22:55 |
| system4041 | k5ehx: howd i do that | 22:55 |
| k5ehx | system4041: like hit alt-f2, type "gksudo nautilus" or /usr/bin/whatever, dunno where it is. | 22:55 |
| Billiard | RoastedTiresX: that shows the setgid bit is set, which is what you want | 22:55 |
| theo76 | ciao! | 22:55 |
| Zico | Hello | 22:55 |

| === Zico is now known as Exatic | ||
| Billiard | RoastedTiresX: yes, a small s means x is also set | 22:56 |
| k5ehx | system4041: yeah, "gksudo nautilus" works on my 9.04 install | 22:56 |
| RoastedTiresX | billiard - is there a way to automatically apply 775 rights to anything I dump in a folder? I know I can hit "apply permissions to enclosed files" in the GUI on the parent folder, which is simple, but figured I'd ask. | 22:56 |
| Scunizi | pyhacker: try rebooting and on the grub menu choose rescue | 22:56 |
| system4041 | k5ehx: that done the trick my files are copying over now thanks for your help dude | 22:56 |

| Exatic | Hello. Im trying to awn to work, but everytime i try to start it says my screen is not in composit and i need to run compiz | 22:58 |
| RoastedTiresX | billiard - all good. The group thing is a big thing though. It was a pain for me to use terminal all of the time to change it. Its nice to know something like setgid is here. | 22:58 |
| Exatic | i have tried to run compiz from terminal, it doesent help | 22:58 |
| Billiard | RoastedTiresX: also directories created in a directory with the setgid bit will also have the setgid bit set | 22:58 |
| k5ehx | system4041: yeah, you'd think windows would make it easier to migrate from linux. :-) | 22:58 |
| RoastedTiresX | billiard - good to know. | 22:58 |
| system4041 | lol windows is gay but it has its uses | 22:59 |
| soreau | Exatic: Can you pastebin the output of compiz? Also, it might be helpful if you come to #compiz so we can help you get compiz working | 22:59 |
| RoastedTiresX | billiard - so setgid isnt always the route to go with when setting up permissions, for say, a large file server. | 22:59 |
| RoastedTiresX | billiard - well actually I take that back | 22:59 |
| Scunizi | pyhacker: go there again and when you get the menu choose terminal. then do the things I mentioned before. | 22:59 |
| RoastedTiresX | billiard - cause you can just setgid to each users individual folder so anything they create gets their own group id you set it to. | 22:59 |
| Billiard | RoastedTiresX: it depends what you want that directory for, if you want to share files between people and all have rw permissions it can be useful | 23:00 |
| pyhacker | Scunizi: ok, will try. | 23:00 |
| RoastedTiresX | Billiard - yeah. I was just thinking at work... I work at a school district sotheres a ton of file servers for teachers and such. I was thinking setgid would be bad to use, but I was thinking you had to use it on the root directory of where the shares are. But in reality, say you have /media/storage/users/then all of the teacher shares there. | 23:02 |
| maneatingracoon | Hey can someone help me? | 23:02 |
| RoastedTiresX | billiard - youc ould just chmod g+s to each individual teacher share so they get the same group for each folder. | 23:02 |
| maneatingracoon | I am trying to install drivers and I have a file called a makefile with a bunch of code in it how do i open it? | 23:02 |
| RoastedTiresX | billiard - I was thinking using it on /media/storage/users would be bad, but I wasnt thinking that you could just apply it to each teacher folder itself. | 23:03 |

| paultag | DuckGod, Ohhhh, I thought you ment the drink. But Yeah, I can help out with WINE as well. | 23:04 |

| nick_sch1mbri | maneatingracoon: what driver are you tryingtoinstall | 23:04 |
| DuckGod | ive deleted an an reinstalled it but it does the same thing | 23:04 |

| RussellAlan | I have no taskbar nor do I have launcher. | 23:16 |
| RussellAlan | I am on 9.10, someone told me to apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 23:16 |
| Bluey | RussellAlan: it should come with gnome already insalled | 23:16 |
| RussellAlan | when i restarted it took me into gnome naturally.. now I switched over to kde, and I have a desktop. Not like the kubuntu desktop with widgets and what not. | 23:16 |
| === auk is now known as auk0 | ||
| RussellAlan | Bluey: I installed kubuntu naturally, then upgraded to karmic. | 23:17 |
| RussellAlan | Should I just do a fresh install? | 23:17 |
| * Bluey is not a kde guy.... | 23:17 | |
| RussellAlan | or is there hope? =D | 23:17 |
| RussellAlan | sell me on gnome | 23:17 |
| RussellAlan | ;-) | 23:17 |
| Bluey | RussellAlan: I always do fresh installs | 23:17 |
| MacGyverNL | Gnome has cookies. | 23:17 |
| Bluey | and - "there's no place like gnome!" | 23:18 |
| jezlee | My 9.10 LiveCD is not working too well, what do I do? | 23:18 |
| RussellAlan | yay cookies | 23:18 |
| Bluey | jezlee: did you md5sum check it? | 23:18 |
| jezlee | yes | 23:18 |
| MacGyverNL | Regarding your problem, a full uninstallation of a window manager takes more than just uninstalling the meta-package. For instance, installing gnome and KDE side to side has the effect of having both Gnome and KDE native apps available in both environments, but simply uninstalling "ubuntu-desktop" doesn't get rid of gnome. | 23:19 |
| Bluey | jezlee: can you try it on another system? | 23:19 |
| Insomniac` | te, apt-get --fix-broken does not work, it just shows the listing options | 23:19 |
| jezlee | Bluey It boots fine, but when i select "try" or "install" it does somethings then boots me to an unusable flashing command prompt screen | 23:19 |
| MacGyverNL | So if you can find out which specific packages to uninstall you might be able to fix it back to only kde, or gnome, or whatever you want. | 23:20 |
| MacGyverNL | But a fresh install might be faster. | 23:20 |
| MacGyverNL | At least, that's as far as I know. | 23:20 |
| Bluey | jezlee: is the the beta or daily build? 32 or 64 bit? | 23:20 |
| MacGyverNL | I could be wrong, though, so get a second opinion. | 23:20 |
| RussellAlan | yeah, fresh install might fix all my problems | 23:20 |

| WiresAP | Hi, I'm trying to install Ubuntu for the first time, and am doing so on a windows netbook ((eeePC 1005HA). I've followed all the instructions online, and checked the md5 sums of everything I was able to, but wubi will not run. Where might I get some help? | 23:22 |
| WiresAP | (Thanks in advance!) | 23:22 |
| RussellAlan | well karmic koala official release is the 29th, so maybe ill wait to do fresh install then | 23:23 |
| n8tuser | WiresAP -> try netbootin for a true install, wubi is more like a try out and kick the tires | 23:24 |
| gogeta | unetbootin | 23:24 |
| WiresAP | thanks - will now take a look at that | 23:24 |

| GodfatherofEire | Is there any noticable performance difference (for a regular user, not a server admin) when using xfs instead of ext4? | 23:25 |
| ascheel | Can someone tell me the difference between 'clear' and 'clear_console'? | 23:26 |
| usser | ascheel, terminal is not console :) | 23:26 |
| ascheel | I'm not sure I understand what you mean, usser. | 23:26 |
| usser | ascheel, in other words clear_console works only on real consoles, the kind you get when you press ctrl+alt+f2 | 23:27 |
| ascheel | usser, I disagree. clear_console was in my .bash_logout and it certainly was clearing my ssh screen when I 'exite'ed | 23:27 |
| ascheel | 'exit'ed | 23:28 |
| ascheel | usser, when I commented it from .bash_logout, my screen no longer cleared on exit | 23:28 |
| pyhacker | I recreated my Xconf file, and that is the reason, i suspect, why my ubuntu doesn't load anymore. After the loading bar i get a screen with messed up pixels and it doesn't respond to anything. I tried going into recovery mode and finding the Xconf file and doing mv <backup> (what i thought was the backup) as suggested here, but it didn't help. Is there anything else I can do? I'm on a liveCD right now, is it possib | 23:29 |
| usser | ascheel, were you ssh'ing from a real terminal or something like xterm or gnome-terminal | 23:29 |
| ascheel | usser, from gnome-terminal | 23:29 |
| Billiard | pyhacker: could you hit ctrl+alt+f1 when you had the "messed up pixels" | 23:29 |
| ascheel | usser: from an ubuntu laptop to my ubuntu server at home | 23:29 |

| hmmhesays | i compiled madwifi | 23:30 |
| pyhacker | Billiard: I tried presseing ctrl+alt+2 many times and it didn't do anything. Same with ctrl+alt+1 (though i didn't press it lots of timeS). | 23:30 |
| ascheel | using xterm-256color emulation if that matters | 23:30 |
| XsCode | pyhacker: you tried using the vesa driver to see if it loads the desktop? | 23:30 |
| ascheel | usser: ^^^ | 23:30 |
| hmmhesays | modprobe ath_pci, it loaded, but still my wireless does not show up in iwconfig | 23:30 |
| usser | ascheel, hm strange, i just tried it here, from gnome-terminal and it says clear_console: terminal is not a console | 23:30 |
| Billiard | pyhacker: f1 f2 | 23:30 |
| pyhacker | XsCode: Don't understand--what do you mean? | 23:30 |
| ascheel | usser, not sure. Try clear_console -q | 23:30 |
| XsCode | chance the device string to vesa in xorg.conf | 23:31 |
| pyhacker | Billiard: I tried f1.... i suspect that it doesn't respond to anything. | 23:31 |
| Billiard | pyhacker: ctrl alt f1 ? | 23:31 |
| X7 | is it possible to use dd to wrote a whole harddrive to a file, to be restored later using DD ??? | 23:31 |
| pyhacker | Billiard: Yes | 23:31 |
| ascheel | usser: interesting. It will clear it if I'm SSH'ed home, but not on my local session. | 23:32 |
| pyhacker | XsCode: So i should try to use the recovery mode terminal to try and edit the Xconf file and change device to vesa? | 23:32 |
| Billiard | pyhacker: ok, in the recovery console, `dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg` ? | 23:32 |
| pyhacker | Billiard: I tried something very similar "dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" (as i read on a forum) but this had no effect. | 23:33 |
| Billiard | pyhacker: try manually eding your xorg.conf file maybe, to more generic settings | 23:34 |
| XsCode | hence vesa :) | 23:34 |
| === jeremy_ is now known as Guest25001 | ||
| pyhacker | ok so how should i do it? | 23:34 |
| X7 | is it possible to use dd to wrote a whole harddrive to a file, to be restored later using DD ??? | 23:35 |
| Billiard | pyhacker: recovery console `nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf` | 23:35 |
| Billiard | X7: thats possible | 23:35 |
| Schiz0 | According to top, a large majority of my CPU time is in iowait. What are some tools I can use to figure out what this IO is (eg, HDD or network, or what?) | 23:35 |
| X7 | Billiard, how do I go about doing that? i would just use dd from one hd to another but there is only one ide slot on this machine | 23:36 |
| UserX | anyone had any luck with vb under mono? | 23:36 |
| pyhacker | Billiard: OK i will try to do this, this will open the file, right? Then i'll change devise to vesa. Is that correct? | 23:36 |
| Billiard | pyhacker: yeah you could change the resolution to something lower maybe too 800600 or 640480 | 23:36 |
| Billiard | X7: then i dont know how you will copy one hard drive to the other | 23:37 |
| X7 | Billiard, i will save the file on to a usb stick.... | 23:37 |
| Raugturi | ascheel & usser: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bash/+bug/39068 | 23:37 |
| magikid | What is the command to format a drive as fat? | 23:37 |
| pyhacker | Billiard: Alright, i will try to this now.... | 23:37 |
| Billiard | UserX: stay away from .net lol | 23:37 |
| X7 | Billiard, do you know the command ? | 23:37 |
| Billiard | X7: your usb stick is bigger than your hard drive? | 23:37 |
| Gratz474 | is there any GTK grep out there? | 23:37 |
| X7 | Billiard, yes, bigger than the old harddrie. | 23:38 |
| X7 | drive* | 23:38 |
| Billiard | X7: then you can use dd for that | 23:38 |
| Gluac | hey guys, everytime my user "dave" uploads a file into a certain dir I want it to be "-rw-r--r-- 1 root root" .... I'm guessing I'll have to change his umask for this, how would that be possible?A | 23:38 |
| fbianconi | Schiz0: fuser, gnome-system-monitor | 23:38 |
| ascheel | Raugturi: thank you VERY much! :) next question... what's ncurses? | 23:38 |
| X7 | Billiard, I don't want to DD the usb stick, just DD this HD to a file to copy on to the usb.............. | 23:38 |
| Billiard | X7: you can do that | 23:39 |
| Gluac | anyone? | 23:39 |
| Raugturi | ascheel: I'll let someone more knowledgable than me field that one. | 23:39 |
| X7 | Billiard, ok, obviously you did not listen, and realize I needed the command to do so. | 23:39 |
| X7 | Billiard, thanks anyway. | 23:39 |
| Billiard | Gluac: you cant do that easily | 23:39 |
| Billiard | X7: you did not ask for a command ever | 23:39 |
| Billiard | X7: you asked if it was possible | 23:39 |
| Gluac | Billiard: thanks | 23:39 |
| X7 | Billiard, i asked if you knew the command earlier | 23:39 |
| Billiard | X7: sorry didnt see that | 23:40 |
| === c4pt_ is now known as c4pt | ||
| X7 | Billiard, so what is the cmd to write a HD to 1 file using dd ? | 23:40 |
| X7 | dd of /dev/sda1 > file.name ? | 23:40 |
| laclasse | X7, dd if=/dev/sda of=file.img | 23:40 |
| Billiard | X7: sorry yes that works | 23:40 |
| LinuX2half | My line 2 in fstab files turned out to be bad... | 23:41 |
| mazda01 | can someone please look in /lib/oss-compat/linux and tell me if there is a file that is symlinked to /etc/modprobe.d/oss-compat.conf? i am getting a failure to install a new kernel image. here's a pic http://img259.imageshack.us/my.php?image=linuximage.png | 23:41 |
| LinuX2half | what should I do to resolve this issue? | 23:41 |
| Gluac | Billiard: can I atleast make it so it's "-rw-r--r-- | 23:41 |
| laclasse | X7, man dd | 23:41 |
| X7 | laclasse, ok thanks, can you tell me how to specify in that command writing that file to a specific location ? | 23:41 |
| ascheel | LinuX2half: what does the line say? | 23:41 |
| fbianconi | ascheel: ncurses it's a console based interface, you can draw buttons and frames in text mode with it. | 23:41 |
| laclasse | X7, yes, go and read the ouitput of the command 'man dd' | 23:41 |
| X7 | laclasse, ok | 23:41 |
| ascheel | thanks, fbianconi. :) That makes sense. | 23:41 |
| Billiard | Gluac: setting his umask to 0022 should do that i think | 23:42 |
| laclasse | X7, dd if=/dev/sda of=/INSERT/WHERE/YOU/WANT/file.img | 23:42 |
| LinuX2half | ascheel:ubuntu2009@unbuntu2009-laptop:~$ sudo mount -a | 23:42 |
| LinuX2half | [mntent]: line 2 in /etc/fstab is bad | 23:42 |
| maneatingracoon | can someone tell me how to get my monitor to work? | 23:42 |
| Billiard | X7: your `dd if=/dev/sda > pathtofile/image.dd` works too | 23:43 |
| ascheel | LinuX2half: you have to give us line 2 of your fstab | 23:43 |
| maneatingracoon | I can only set the resultion to 600x 500 or somthing.. | 23:43 |
| quidnunc | Anyone else have problems doing an IP whois in ERC in emacs? | 23:43 |
| c4pt | fbianconi: to do what? | 23:43 |
| c4pt | fbianconi: with ncurses ?? | 23:43 |
| X7 | laclasse, Billiard thanks. and then i would use, dd if=/image.img of=/new/hard/drive? | 23:43 |
| laclasse | yes | 23:43 |
| X7 | kk. | 23:43 |
| LinuX2half | ascheel:http://www.ubuntu.pastebin.com/d5a51cd05 | 23:44 |
| X7 | laclasse, one last q, i know i will need to resize it from gparted, but can I run the copy of the old HD from a running ubuntu system or, must it be a live-cd? | 23:44 |
| maneatingracoon | How do you increase the resolution of linux I only have two settings on mine and my moniter isnt being detected. | 23:44 |
| Billiard | X7: i wouldnt dd to a new hard drive unless its ecactly the same size, you will have to resize the partitions if its not | 23:44 |
| X7 | Billiard, yea i read about that, can be solved with a live-cd | 23:44 |
| Billiard | X7: yea it can | 23:45 |
| semitones | how do I find what linux kernel is on a live cd or usb drive aside from booting it? | 23:45 |
| X7 | is it going to matter if I dd this hd to a .img while its running? | 23:45 |
| laclasse | X7, any operation as low level as re imaging / dd ing drive, better be in an outside environment (live-cd) and chroot in as needed | 23:45 |
| ascheel | LinuX2half: try getting rid of the second 'swap' in that line. | 23:45 |
| ubuntu_mad | oh there you all are lol | 23:45 |
| laclasse | X7, YES. | 23:45 |
| Billiard | X7: i wouldnt do it while its mounted | 23:45 |
| ascheel | making it: /dev/sda5 none swap sw 0 0 | 23:45 |
| X7 | ok, ... what is chroot? | 23:45 |
| laclasse | X7, man chroot | 23:45 |
| ubuntu_mad | FF 3.0.14 on Jaunty running very slow and slowing my system,help?? | 23:46 |
| donangello | www.is-crew.at | 23:46 |
| fbianconi | c4pt: ncurses its a library used by programs for making text interfaces (something like what is gtk, for making graphic interfaces) | 23:46 |
| Billiard | ubuntu_mad: how much ram do you have? | 23:46 |
| semitones | what version of the linux kernel ships with 9.04? | 23:46 |
| X7 | laclasse, sorry, read that. but what does that mean for me when doing this operation? | 23:47 |
| laclasse | X7, it means download and boot in a love cd to image your dri ves | 23:47 |
| LinuX2half | ascheel:, yes it worked, the error has disappeared, thanks | 23:47 |
| laclasse | lol | 23:47 |
| laclasse | s/love/live | 23:47 |
| X7 | laclasse, the chroot part..? | 23:47 |
| UserX | semitones: 2.6.28-13 | 23:47 |
| ubuntu_mad | Billiard: 2GB | 23:47 |
| laclasse | X7, chroot allows you to be insde the old or new root of your systems | 23:48 |
| semitones | UserX: thanks! | 23:48 |
| UserX | semitones: that's what uname -a says :) | 23:48 |
| maneatingracoon | Can someone help me ubunto wont detect my moniter. | 23:48 |
| X7 | laclasse, ok, how does that effect what I need to do from live-cd though? | 23:48 |
| semitones | UserX: wait... have you updated since you installed though? | 23:48 |
| laclasse | X7, boot into live cd-> 2 drives -> do your dd / imaging | 23:48 |
| laclasse | X7, nope | 23:48 |
| laclasse | X7, oh yeah ... back up. | 23:48 |
| semitones | UserX: i'm trying to find the kernel version on the live cd so I can make a boot from usb cd | 23:48 |
| X7 | laclasse, I am confused now. | 23:48 |
| nick_sch1mbri | maneatingracoon: there is a free ubuntu linux book | 23:48 |
| laclasse | X7, why would you? forget i said chroot, and go ahead | 23:49 |
| nick_sch1mbri | maneatingracoon: do you have blue letter on your keyboard | 23:49 |
| ubuntu_mad | Billiard: its only a recent problem,have all add-ons disabled too | 23:49 |
| X7 | laclasse, I dont know what I need to do with chroot lol | 23:49 |
| laclasse | nothing | 23:50 |
| Billiard | ubuntu_mad: idk | 23:50 |
| semitones | does it say on the live cd or on the website somewhere what the kernel version is | 23:50 |
| X7 | laclasse, ~_~ | 23:50 |
| ubuntu_mad | Billiard: idk??? | 23:51 |
| Billiard | X7: idk why he wants you to use chroot either | 23:51 |
| laclasse | ubuntu_mad, create a new profile by running the profile manager, and see if it is as slow in a nnew profile | 23:51 |

| laclasse | oh jeesus i never said use chroot ... i said you could if you needed to be 'in' the old system from the live cd | 23:52 |
| laclasse | you should do more reading | 23:52 |
| ubuntu_mad | laclasse: ok...and then? after i restart it is goes ok but after time running it slows right down | 23:52 |
| X7 | which cd on the website is the live-cd the alternate cd?? | 23:52 |
| Billiard | X7: deskop | 23:52 |
| X7 | laclasse, or i could just mount it | 23:52 |

| semitones | UserX: yeah -- the smaller number does change though. when it shipped it was 2.6.28-11 | 23:53 |
