| flootenkerp | Does anyone here know a good nes emulator for linux? | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| ChaoticXSinZ | When you install freetype from the repos where does it install? /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib? | 00:00 |
| epinky | flootenkerp: gfceu? | 00:00 |
| greezmunkey | ChaoticSinZ, locate freetype | 00:00 |
| fcuk112 | blackshell: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager fusion-icon | 00:00 |
| zopiac | puff: then reducing a partition by about 3-5gb (maybe more if you want to move some files to aother partition than shrink) and then moving the partitions to one size and making the / partiton fill out the new free space is my suggestion | 00:01 |
| Jordan_U | ChaoticXSinZ: "dpkg -L <package-name>" will show all of the files that package installs | 00:01 |
| Cladius1984 | greezmunkey: lo - no wireless extensions | eth0 no wireless extensions | 00:01 |
| flootenkerp | I install fceu epinky, but then I didn't know where to start it up | 00:01 |
| DasEi | ChaoticXSinZ: maybe a sudo updatedb before locate | 00:01 |
| zopiac | epinky: all right, everything works great! well, the printer is a dinosaur, but the print function now works | 00:01 |
| ChaoticXSinZ | Well I have it installed in both /usr/lib and /usr/lib/local and that is causing problems with any gtk app | 00:01 |
| studebaker | man i'm having a rough night.. one of my disks' partitions got corrupted. not sure how. i'm trying to run testdisk from the live cd to see if i can recover anything, but my cd rom drive doesn't work too well so it keeps getting read fails :( | 00:01 |
| Roasted | hey guys - what program converts mp4 to mp3? | 00:01 |
| Jordan_U | [-jon-]_: Are you sure it's a mic input and not line input? | 00:01 |
| epinky | zopiac: great, glad you've solved it :) | 00:01 |
| greezmunkey | Cladius1984, sounds like a driver conflict, in a terminal type cat dmesg, and pate the results i the pastebin | 00:02 |
| flootenkerp | epinky, where would I start it up? | 00:02 |
| greezmunkey | paste | 00:02 |
| ChaoticXSinZ | I get: "gedit: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libcairo.so.2: undefined symbol: FT_Library_SetLcdFilter" | 00:02 |
| zopiac | epinky: heck all i did was put in a few commands and let you handle it :P | 00:02 |
| ChaoticXSinZ | but if I set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to /usr/lib it works | 00:02 |
| zopiac | epinky: thanks a ton, now i dont have to rely on my dad's computer to print stuff | 00:02 |
| ChaoticXSinZ | sudo ldconfig -p | grep freetype shows that its using the /usr/local/lib one by default | 00:03 |
| ChaoticXSinZ | how can I change that? | 00:03 |
| studebaker | i made a bootable usb disk of the live cd and eventhough i changed the boot seq in the bios it is not picking up 'removable device' | 00:03 |
| puff | zopiac: I guess what I meant was, I can shrink /mcgee by 3-5GB and then grow / by the same amount. that's probably the easiest thing for me to do, since /mcgee has 9GB free. | 00:03 |
| Cladius1984 | Ill brb | 00:03 |
| stryker | Hi all. How can I add chinese input to? | 00:03 |
| === Paraselene__ is now known as Paraselene_ | ||
| ChaoticXSinZ | anything? | 00:03 |
| Fujk | I'm on the fence of chosing ATI vs nvidia :( | 00:04 |
| puff | zopiac: Or I can shuffle stuff around to shrink /home by 3GB instead. Is there any functional reason to prefer that? | 00:04 |
| Dravekx | how do i list devices via command line? | 00:04 |
| zopiac | puff: yeah, youll just have to move the partitions to the right (or left, depending on the setup) to give the other partition room to grow | 00:04 |
| === Guest68920 is now known as meff | ||
| Dravekx | i forgot | 00:04 |
| zopiac | puff: depends on how much more you put on one partition than the other. | 00:04 |
| flootenkerp | Does anyone else know a good nes emulator for linux? | 00:04 |
| epinky | flootenkerp: gfce is already installed, right? | 00:04 |
| fcuk112 | stryker: system->preferences->language support | 00:04 |
| lotec | dravekx: lspci lsusb | 00:04 |
| zopiac | flootenkerp: there's a functional one in add/remove | 00:05 |
| === meff is now known as Guest36334 | ||
| flootenkerp | Yes epinky | 00:05 |
| DasEi | Fujk: sad bad true driver support is mostly better for nvidia, though some atis do fine, do, got ask for certain models, check : | 00:05 |
| DasEi | !hardware | 00:05 |
| ubottu | For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection | 00:05 |
| ChaoticXSinZ | So how do you change the default freetype lib from the one in /usr/local/lib to /usr/lib? | 00:05 |
| epinky | flootenkerp: then go Applications->Games-> GFCE | 00:05 |
| stryker | fcuk112: actually i am in linux mint, based on ubuntu, but a little different. i did find language support | 00:05 |
| === Tru7h_ is now known as Tru7h | ||
| flootenkerp | hm, don't see it | 00:05 |
| Fujk | DasEi: what bugs me is that current nvidia does not have support for DX11 ... for my dual boot games purpose | 00:06 |
| Cladius19841 | greezmunkey: where do I paste the dmesg results? | 00:06 |
| ChaoticXSinZ | Anybody? | 00:06 |
| VulcanJaded | who wants to help me with this karmic install? | 00:06 |
| DasEi | stryker: c search synaptic, or use apt-cache search | 00:06 |
| flootenkerp | could you give me the terminal command to install it epinky? | 00:06 |
| lotec | Cladius19841: pastebin | 00:06 |
| jm2k | jatt: thx that did the trick. | 00:06 |
| greezmunkey | http://paste.ubuntu.com | 00:06 |
| epinky | flootenkerp: then type "gfceu" | 00:06 |
| greezmunkey | then paste back the entire url it gives you... | 00:06 |
| puff | zopiac: Well I'd slightly prefer to keep the /mcgee partition larger... | 00:07 |
| Dravekx | mount: mount point /usb does not exist << what does that mean? | 00:07 |
| puff | zopiac: The idea is to put expendable files on /mcgee so I can more efficiently back up /home | 00:07 |
| DasEi | Fujk: I'm another budget range, but there are many posts about that out, got to ask here or google ubuntu + specific model | 00:07 |
| studebaker | anybody know any reasons why my asus motherboard won't boot from a usb device? | 00:07 |
| lotec | dravekx: there is no /usb dir | 00:07 |
| ChaoticXSinZ | greezmunkey: Any idea why I might have another version of freetype in /usr/local/lib than /usr/lib which messes up GTK apps? | 00:07 |
| flootenkerp | I'll try reinstalling it, could you give me the terminal command epinky? | 00:07 |
| Dravekx | lotec, do i need to create one to mount my USB drive? | 00:07 |
| flootenkerp | I used a download online | 00:07 |
| Cladius19841 | Greezmunkey: http://paste.ubuntu.com/319624/ | 00:08 |
| flootenkerp | So idk the command | 00:08 |
| greezmunkey | ChaoticXSinZ, none, sorry. | 00:08 |
| lotec | Dravekx: you can, or you can mount it where ever you want | 00:08 |
| DasEi | studebaker: most likely the usb is bad, legacy, usb full also enabeld ? handle usb as disk ? | 00:08 |
| epinky | flootenkerp: sudo aptitude install gfceu | 00:08 |
| puff | zopiac: Come to think of it, I just torched some files on /home so now I have 4GB free on it. | 00:08 |
| lotec | dravekx: you can mount it to /tmp | 00:08 |
| ChaoticXSinZ | greezmunkey: Well any chance you know how to change which shows up in ldconfig? | 00:08 |
| DasEi | studebaker: how did you set up the usb ? | 00:08 |
| puff | zopiac: But what I meant is, is it faster to shrink home and expand /, or to shrink mcgee and expand /, or is neither one faster? | 00:08 |
| VulcanJaded | anyone here using karmic on nvraid? | 00:08 |
| VulcanJaded | or jaunty | 00:08 |
| studebaker | dasei: i don't think its bad.. the mobo is pretty new. i made the usb with the usb startup disk creator and put the live cd on it | 00:09 |
| === Guest36334 is now known as meff | ||

| greezmunkey | http://paste.ubuntu.com/319624/Claudius, give me a minute... | 00:09 |

| Senesence | The flash-plugin package is broken and I can't fix it (keep getting "package is in very bad or inconsistent state"), anyone know what's going on there? | 00:10 |
| flootenkerp | yeah | 00:10 |
| puff | zopiac: Is there any reason to prefer one or the other? | 00:10 |
| Dravekx | lotec, I mounted it.. nothing there. hmm.. brb | 00:10 |
| puff | zopiac: I'm curious as to what it's actually doing, under the covers so to speak, when I resize the partitions that way. | 00:10 |
| === klem_ is now known as gtrtx | ||
| flootenkerp | Do you know what's wrong, epinky? | 00:11 |
| Dravekx | lotec, how do i find out what my USB drive is? I thought it was sdc1. I guess its not. | 00:11 |
| zopiac | puff if one is directly next to the / partition, you might be able to shrink it so that it leaves free space next to the / partition so you wont have to move anything, just then grow / | 00:11 |
| DisguisedAngel | brain fart, I can't remember the command to change permissions, can someone remind me lol. | 00:11 |
| Cladius19841 | greezmunkey: thank you and take your time | 00:11 |
| DasEi | Dravekx: sudo fdisk -l | 00:11 |
| Dravekx | ahhhh.. thanks DasEi | 00:11 |
| CaneToad | Is Karmic known to be quite broken with regards to recognition of USB devices? | 00:11 |
| studebaker | dasei: i did format it before.. what's the bottflag? | 00:11 |
| DasEi | DisguisedAngel: chmod | 00:11 |
| zopiac | puff: however, with such small partitions, it shouldnt be a huge problem. if you leave it run overnight there will be no real difference either way | 00:11 |
| DisguisedAngel | thx | 00:11 |

| xtozze | ugh losha, one more question is this online update your talking about the automatic one right after the installation is completed or is it something i need to do? because that may be my problem. | 00:31 |
| VulcanJaded | hello Zeratul2k | 00:31 |
| Senesence | epinky: I'm in /var/lib/dpkg/info but there is no file that starts with "adobe" in that directory. | 00:31 |
| [-jon-]_ | this was an iso that was mounted when i double clicked it | 00:31 |
| Zeratul2k | having some problems here with my wireless. I have Karmic, it can detect the network normally, but I can't connect to it | 00:31 |
| Penol | greezmunkey: cat /var/dmesg gives me nothing :O | 00:32 |
| losha | xtozze: updates are constantly being posted. You should make sure you have the latest by using the update-manager... | 00:32 |
| Zeratul2k | doesn't seem to be an authentication problem, since I have tested setting WPA, WEP and open in the AP | 00:32 |
| greezmunkey | Penol, hold a sec... | 00:32 |
| Penol | greezmunkey: okej :) | 00:32 |

| linuxguy2009 | Hey guys Ive known how to use and love using the man pages for command line tool usage syntax and such. But I just read online by accident that someone said to use man followed by the name of a system file rather than a command. Does this also apply to ubuntu man pages can tell you about certain system config files etc? If so, are probably all config files listed in man pages if you know? Im gonna have to experiment a bit if this is so. | 00:35 |

| Cladius1984 | haha, do you take check or charge? | 00:37 |
| losha | linuxguy2009: many system files have man pages documenting their format etc. Often there will be a 'See Also' section at the end of a man page pointing you to other man entries. Also try 'man -k <keyword>' to find stuff.. | 00:37 |
| Cladius1984 | brb | 00:38 |

| zaoul | why must every standard be changed, altered, newbified | 00:38 |

| Penol | greezmunkey: do you find enything ? | 00:40 |
| _nnx | I got myself a bit of a situation here: xserver crashed on me while I was trying to play back a .wmv with compiz enabled. Anyway: I now have no video signal but the system is still active. Last time I hard-rebooted this happened and was forced to do a clean insteall(root.disk got damaged) is there any way I can force a reboot or shutdown blindly? | 00:40 |

| greezmunkey | Penol, actually no, it would help if you track down what type if internal wireless nic you have, also, next time use: http://paste.ubuntu.com | 00:43 |
| _nnx | there is a hardware reset button, but I'm afraid I'll lose my data again | 00:43 |
| _nnx | ctrl+alt_del as well as ctrl+alt+backspace didn't work | 00:44 |

| yogacoop | anyone seeing gnome-panel "disappear" in NBR/karmic? seems to be random, but often pkill brings it back | 00:46 |

| Penol | greezmunkey: Ok, i will do :D | 00:47 |
| _nnx | oh, okay ... it looks like i'd need to have had a SSH server installed first. Unless runs automatically in 9.04? | 00:47 |
| Penol | greezmunkey: on hp.com it says its a : Broadcom 802.11a/b/g/draft-n mini-pci-card on spesifications | 00:48 |

| Jordan_U | pallav: But if you can't get the resolution you want it's more likely a driver problem | 00:49 |

| Jordan_U | Penol: Have you tried System > Administration > Hardware Drivers? | 00:50 |
| Sierradump | Can I use some sort of "iwconfig" command to join it to my network? Will it automatically join that network after every boot? | 00:50 |

| greezmunkey | Jordan_U, good call...I hope you don't mind me following along! | 01:24 |

| phaer | It would help me a lot, if anybody would be so nice to paste me his/her $pythonpath (9.10) :) | 01:24 |
| Mandi | i'm starting to get ready to change our 4 computers to ubuntu from various installations of windows, and i have a question before i proceed | 01:24 |
| Claw6 | hello i have just seen, that my xorg.conf is empty ... how can i reconfigure it ? | 01:25 |
| Snausages | tc111: heh, I'd start with 'back everything up' | 01:25 |
| sebsebseb | !ask | Mandi | 01:25 |
| ubottu | Mandi: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 01:25 |
| Billiard | LOPA: did you try making an xorg.conf file? | 01:25 |
| snuffy47 | Billiard, created a link to the gvfs folder and good to go. alittle long to get to but it works :) | 01:25 |
| LOPA | i have an xorg.conf file | 01:25 |
| theblackmasses | Mandi: What's the question | 01:25 |
| lotec | anyone help me | 01:25 |
| [-jon-]_ | when I play video in vlc, it starts flashing red. any ideas? | 01:25 |
| Billiard | LOPA: did you try adding your resolutions to the modes | 01:25 |
| LOPA | Billiard, i have an xorg.conf | 01:25 |
| snuffy47 | Billiard, do I need to worry about the cfis stuff I will leave it if it doesnt really matter | 01:25 |
| [-jon-]_ | also happens with the built in video player | 01:25 |
| The_reaper489 | can anyone help me with installing ubuntu onto the XO laptop/ | 01:25 |
| tc111 | Snausages: got that part taken care of... smarty! :P | 01:25 |
| rahmen | Jordan_U: You don't know if changes in documents are logged or something? Maybe if there's a program that can scan my memory for the text? | 01:25 |
| The_reaper489 | lotec: you there? | 01:25 |
| LOPA | Billiard, the xorg.conf is kinda empty | 01:25 |
| sebsebseb | lotec: the netbook remix? | 01:26 |
| Billiard | snuffy47: it doesnt really matter but you can remove autofs if you never will use it | 01:26 |
| Billiard | LOPA: kinda empty? paste bin it | 01:26 |

| toro | tits | 01:26 |
| sebsebseb | Mandi: ok what are the questions? | 01:26 |
| Mandi | k, sorry - i have a desktop running XP that we use as a "server" to store data - it's not typically used; it is also the Internet gateway, so to speak, with the modem wired to it & the wireless router for the laptops, which are all running Vista; we will be double-booting the laptops as there is one particular program that is not currently compatible with ubuntu that we must use for our homeschool | 01:26 |
| snuffy47 | Billiard, okay thanks | 01:26 |
| dooglus | hi sebsebseb | 01:26 |
| Billiard | LOPA: copy paste it to a pastebin site | 01:26 |
| LOPA | Billiard, what is the site? | 01:26 |
| sebsebseb | dooglus: hi | 01:27 |
| Jordan_U | rahmen: Have you closed Open Office since you were working on the most up to date version? | 01:27 |
| sekyourb1x | what is a good movie quick? | 01:27 |
| Mandi | my question is whether i should install the server edition of ubuntu on my "server" or the desktop version - i still don't really understand the differences between the two | 01:27 |
| pigphish | Any experience with OCROPUS? | 01:27 |
| theblackmasses | Mandi: You can keep the XP server, I believe..there's no compatibility issues | 01:27 |
| lotec | sebsebseb: i see my book listed but says there are some problems, how do i fix these porblems | 01:27 |
| Mandi | no, i don't want to keep the XP server - that will be a full wipe & ubuntu only machine | 01:27 |
| Billiard | LOPA: there are a bunch pastie.org | 01:27 |
| LOPA | Billiard, http://pastebin.com/mec9b426 | 01:27 |
| sebsebseb | Mandi: You might be able to get that program working in Wine, if not you can do a virtual machine of Windows I expect for it inside Ubuntu | 01:27 |
| [-jon-]_ | when I play video in vlc, it starts flashing red squares all over the video. any ideas? | 01:28 |
| The_reaper489 | lotec: can you give me a little help, again i think...=) plz? | 01:28 |
| theblackmasses | Mandi: I suggest you install the Desktop version | 01:28 |
| josspyker | upgrade 9.10 ,evolution stops working,blank screen and nothing in the logs, any ideas? thanks | 01:28 |
| Billiard | LOPA: did you try without an xorg.conf | 01:28 |
| virtuald | Mandi: The server disc don't install a GUI | 01:28 |
| lotec | sebsebseb: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport/Machines/Netbooks#Acer%20Aspire%20One%20250 | 01:28 |
| LOPA | Billiard, i am using 9.04 | 01:28 |
| Billiard | LOPA: ok | 01:28 |
| Mandi | virtuald: what is a GUI? | 01:28 |
| sebsebseb | !unr | lotec | 01:28 |
| ubottu | lotec: Ubuntu Netbook Remix is a slightly altered version of Ubuntu, optimised for small screens. For more information, please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UNR - support in #ubuntu | 01:28 |
| rahmen | Jordan_U: No I haven't.. I was wondering if I should force quit it? | 01:28 |
| theblackmasses | Mandi: The server edition is really for advanced users, it doesn't have any GUI | 01:28 |
| Mandi | theblackmasses: why do you suggest desktop? just so i understand... | 01:28 |
| Fujk | anyone have ATI HD5870 with dual monitors? | 01:28 |
| dooglus | as I understand it, there's not really a different between the desktop and server distributions other than which packages are installed by default. you can install anything on either one of them | 01:28 |
| LOPA | Billiard, i had 9.10 but was not working and thought an xorg.conf might be needed | 01:28 |
| virtuald | !GUI | 01:28 |
| ubottu | The graphical user interface (GUI) in Ubuntu is composed of many elements, including the !X server, a window manager, and a desktop environment such as !GNOME or !KDE (which themselves use the !GTK and !Qt toolkits respectively) | 01:28 |
| lotec | sebsebseb: i know what it is, | 01:29 |
| Zeratul2k | epinky: nope, still the same | 01:29 |
| sebsebseb | !server | dooglus Mandi | 01:29 |
| ubottu | dooglus Mandi: Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server-specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications. Current !LTS version is 8.04. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ServerFaq/ and https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/index.html - Use the #ubuntu-server channel for support | 01:29 |
| ardchoille | Mandi: the server edition doesn't install a desktop environment, everything is done via command line | 01:29 |

| epinky | epinky: :( , no ideas sorry | 01:29 |
| yogacoop | thx for correcting my irc newbi-isms | 01:29 |
| dooglus | server-specific kernel? what's different with it? | 01:29 |
| evilaim | Man, I'm stupid bored | 01:29 |
| sebsebseb | dooglus: don't know | 01:29 |
| theblackmasses | Mandi: Basically the GUI is what you're used to, with pictures and buttons and places to move your mouse. The server edition doesn't hjave any of that; it only lets you type in commands. Unless you're an experienced user who knows almost everything about linux, it would be hard for you to get accustomed to it | 01:29 |
| Zeratul2k | epinky: will have to keep using wired connections for now :s I had the same problem with the university's network a while ago but it was solved when I updated to Karmic | 01:29 |
| Mandi | k, since i still don't get it, obviously, the proper method is desktop - LOL | 01:29 |
| sebsebseb | evilaim: try #ubuntu-offtopic ? | 01:29 |

| Mandi | theblackmasses: thank you, i get it now | 01:30 |
| sebsebseb | Mandi: you can run server stuff in the destkop version | 01:30 |
| ldiamond | I upgraded to 9.10, now my laptop CPU goes really hot... top tells me nothing takes CPU | 01:30 |
| Sagaci | Mandi: don't install the server edition if you need a desktop environment | 01:30 |
| sebsebseb | Mandi: if you are for example a commercial business though you would probably want to run the server version | 01:30 |
| rahmen | Jordan_U: would this work? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery | 01:30 |
| theblackmasses | Mandi: Yeah, and the desktop can function just as a server, for what you require from it | 01:30 |
| Zeratul2k | epinky: Well, thanks, anyway :D | 01:30 |
| mikeg3 | My ubuntu 9.1 will not boot. Just installed it, video problem, monitor keeps switching modes, card is nvidia gforce 6150se nforce 430 | 01:30 |
| ldiamond | However, the cpu utilisation applet on the top bar says IOWait is always high. | 01:30 |
| Billiard | LOPA: xorg.conf is optional in .10 not sure about x in 9.04 | 01:30 |
| sebsebseb | Mandi: also you said something about home school before? There are many good educational software for Desktop Linux | 01:30 |
| mikeg3 | what should I do? | 01:30 |
| epinky | Zeratul2k: you're welcome | 01:30 |
| Mandi | great! thx everyone | 01:30 |
| theblackmasses | Mandi: Just curious, why are you making the switch from windows to linux? | 01:31 |
| Jordan_U | rahmen: There is something you should try first | 01:31 |
| lotec | sebsebseb: why you not help me? | 01:31 |
| LOPA | Billiard, anything i can add to the file to make this happen you think? | 01:31 |
| rahmen | Jordan_U: oki.. I'm listening | 01:31 |
| sebsebseb | lotec: ,because I don't know much about the net book version or netbooks in general | 01:31 |
| Billiard | LOPA: try this sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg | 01:31 |
| Billiard | LOPA: tell me if it asks for your resolution and stuff | 01:31 |
| lotec | anyone help me???? wuth netbook | 01:31 |
| Mandi | sebsebseb: yes the software prog i use for our recordkeeping is only for windows, and the emulators do not work b/c of the .NET framework, although i am planning to try some of the educational software, but i need to dual-boot until i can check it out completely | 01:31 |

| Doorman352 | Mandi: Have you consider trying Virtualbox and running your aps on a WIN Xp virtual client. | 01:32 |
| Mandi | sebsebseb: thx - i will look into that | 01:32 |
| lotec | sebsebseb: that is no help says ut has to be installed correctley what that mean | 01:32 |
| Jordan_U | rahmen: That should show all files currently opened by open office | 01:32 |
| snuffy47 | Billiard, Thanks for your help | 01:33 |
| lotec | anyone help me???? wuth netbook | 01:33 |
| epinky | lotec: what problem is it?, did you mention it? | 01:33 |
| sebsebseb | Mandi: also I mentioend virtualization earlier well yes Virtualbox you can run Windows inside Ubuntu with that | 01:33 |
| Mandi | Doorman352: i have looked at that, but i don't think it's what i need | 01:33 |
| dooglus | lotec: what's the promble? | 01:33 |
| dooglus | problem? | 01:33 |

| lotec | i see my book listed but says there are some problems, how do i fix these porblems | 01:33 |
| paragonc | im running 8.10 - and i just install xen-server via apt-get - when it reboot - it threw a low graphics mode warning and wont load X | 01:33 |
| Jordan_U | rahmen: "lsof | grep office | grep odt" should show only otd documents that are open | 01:33 |
| Mandi | everyone seems to be trying to talk me out of dual-booting - LOL | 01:33 |
| paragonc | i was running the NVIDIA driver 180 | 01:33 |
| sebsebseb | Mandi: Who is being home schooled? | 01:33 |
| Doorman352 | I use it, and since the virtual clients are isolated, I don't update them....so they are quick for legacy aps that dont work in Visat/Win 7 | 01:33 |

| sebsebseb | Mandi: there's Edubuntu by the way, which is really for schools and such, but you can run most/all of those programs in standard Ubuntu as well | 01:34 |
| sebsebseb | Mandi: also the website is good at explaining what is available | 01:34 |

| paragonc | do i need to download the kernel source? | 01:43 |
| DisguisedAngel | mikeg3, ubuntu forums are great. SHould have lots of video help. You will likely need to change your xorg file to use a vesa video driver (I think that's the one) until you can download and install the correct nvidia drivers. | 01:43 |
| lotec | epinky: xp | 01:43 |
| epinky | lotec: my advice is that "if it works then don't touch it" :) | 01:43 |
| DisguisedAngel | linuxguy2009, Thanks! | 01:43 |
| Billiard | LOPA: restart x, logout, then does ctrl+alt+backspace work in .04, if not ctrl+alt+f1 sudo service gdm restart should do it | 01:43 |

| linuxguy2009 | DisguisedAngel: welcome | 01:45 |
| Billiard | mikeg3: its located in /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 01:45 |
| BluesKaj | paragonc, download the driver from the nvidia site | 01:45 |
| paragonc | BluesKaj: i did | 01:45 |
| DisguisedAngel | Billiard, thanks... I was gonna have to look that one up rofl... Don't have it all memorized yet | 01:45 |
| lotec | epinky: maybe ill just install to a 4gb sd card and boot ubuntu that way | 01:45 |
| DisguisedAngel | paragonc, did you have some other nvidia drivers installed before? | 01:46 |
| sebsebseb | Mandi: 9.10 is an ok release, but I am not that happy with it for various reasons, and I have been using Ubuntu since the second release in 2005, with another distro before it for a bit. Plus done a lot of distro trying in the past with Live CD's to begin with, and then virtual machines. Also 9.10 is a standard release with only 18 months of support on the desktop and three years for the server version. Where as Long Term Support | 01:46 |
| sebsebseb | releaess such as 8.04 or the not yet released 10.04 get three years of support on the destkop and five years for the server version. support being security updates | 01:46 |
| paragonc | it says "Unable to find kernel source tree " | 01:46 |
| sebsebseb | !10.04 | Mandi | 01:46 |
| ubottu | Mandi: Lucid Lynx is the codename for Ubuntu 10.04, due April 2010 - See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l02bhwofEqw for announcement video. | 01:46 |
| BluesKaj | paragonc, then find the driver, wgere sid it dl to | 01:46 |
| epinky | lotec: good idea!, it's better to try before installing :) | 01:46 |
| jpds | sebsebseb: And professional support. | 01:46 |
| paragonc | DisguiseAngel: I had 180 running fine until i install xen-server | 01:46 |
| sebsebseb | jpds: From Canonical you mean? | 01:46 |
| mikeg3 | thank you all for your help--hopefully I will get it to boot | 01:47 |
| jpds | sebsebseb: Yes. | 01:47 |
| BluesKaj | paragonc, where did it DL tp | 01:47 |
| paragonc | BluesKaj: Dl tp? | 01:47 |
| Mandi | any suggestions for linux related reading material (besides the ubuntu site)? | 01:47 |
| sebsebseb | jpds: They don't do paid support for 9.04? | 01:47 |
| DisguisedAngel | mikeg3, you can use "sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf" to edit that file. You will need to find the video driver section and change it to vesa | 01:48 |
| BluesKaj | download to, paragonc | 01:48 |
| linuxguy2009 | paragonc: My guess is that you have something missing from your system or something left behind that shouldnt be there. Download the newest nvidia driver and do a fresh install and start over. Itll work out of the box and its very easy to do. | 01:48 |
| Billiard | Mandi: for doing what? | 01:48 |
| sebsebseb | Mandi: Ubuntu Pocket Guide | 01:48 |
| sharpen047 | how would i resize my linux partition while booting into it? | 01:48 |
| jpds | sebsebseb: We don't do support for EOL releases. | 01:48 |
| Billiard | sharpen047: while booting into it? | 01:48 |
| paragonc | linuxGuy2009 : i have the new 190 drivers too - they throw the same error | 01:48 |
| sebsebseb | jpds: 9.04 is not EOL just yet, also you work for Canonical you put "we" | 01:48 |

| === meff is now known as Guest68739 | ||
| linuxguy2009 | paragonc: 9.10 is old and might not be supported also Im not sure. Do a fresh install is my recomendation. Might be a good time for 9.10 maybe? | 01:49 |
| sebsebseb | Mandi: If you want something that is more stable and you can rely on for say three years without doing an Ubuntu version upgrade, well yes LTS | 01:49 |
| linuxguy2009 | 8.10 is old I meant | 01:49 |
| DisguisedAngel | helpme, what kind of question? | 01:49 |
| sebsebseb | linuxguy2009: I think 8.10 becomes EOL this April or around then | 01:50 |
| paragonc | i dont have the resources to do that - | 01:50 |
| linuxguy2009 | sebsebseb: right on | 01:50 |
| paragonc | blueKaj: /home/paragonc/ | 01:50 |
| sebsebseb | linuxguy2009: what ashame since overall that has been my favourite release since 8.04, it's just since I wanted Ext4 etc, yeah I am not running that | 01:50 |
| Mandi | sebsebseb: i'm not sure if stability is really an issue, i don't mind doing upgrades | 01:50 |
| === eights is now known as baytes-vm | ||
| bonez2046 | is Ext4 included now, with 9.10? | 01:51 |
| lstarnes | bonez2046: yes | 01:51 |
| helpme | i want to know if when i install ubuntu on my windows computer, if it will delete/corrupt/change any files/programs that i have | 01:51 |
| sebsebseb | bonez2046: Ext4 is the default for clean installs | 01:51 |
| sebsebseb | bonez2046: of 9.10 | 01:51 |
| lstarnes | bonez2046: it has been included since 9.04 | 01:51 |
| sebsebseb | bonez2046: Ext3 9.04 upgrades won't be turned into Ext4 on upgrade | 01:51 |
| linuxguy2009 | sebsebseb: Ive heard that from a few people but I hated 8.10. Never worked right for my box for some reason. | 01:51 |
| phenom | After the Karmic upgrade I now get a "critical" bug as described in: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8323583#post8323583 | 01:51 |
| phenom | Any help? | 01:51 |
| Billiard | helpme: only if you tell it to delete your windows parition | 01:51 |
| bonez2046 | sebsebseb: so I just did the 'update-manager -d' routine.. still using ext3.. | 01:51 |
| [zaf]-Coral | Anybody know of a nice database graphical designing tool, something to create the graphical layout for a database representation :? I do NOT want something that actually implements the database | 01:52 |
| BluesKaj | paragonc, in the terminal sudo ./NVIDIA-Linux-xxxxx.run xxx meaning the driver number for your card | 01:52 |
| bonez2046 | how would I upgrade.. convert over to Ext4? is it compelling enough to convert? | 01:52 |
| paragonc | BluesKaj : the installer runs - it just fails | 01:52 |
| sebsebseb | linuxguy2009: great release still my favourite overall even though what I just mentioned, plus how the ethernet woudn't work on the other computer, but by the time I got round to finally upgrading from 8.04 on there, 9.04 was out anyway so :) so put on with Ext4 and nice fast boot up shut down and disk checking :) | 01:52 |
| Billiard | [zaf]-Coral: phpmyadmin | 01:52 |
| courpse | bonez2046, You cannot convert, it has to be a fresh install. | 01:52 |
| helpme | but i just want to try it out, what happens if i prefer windows over ubuntu? will i be able to completely restore my settings that i have right now? | 01:52 |
| Mandi | thank you all, i think that's all the q's i have today - bye | 01:52 |
| linuxguy2009 | phenom: My Uncle recently did an upgrade from 9.04 and was missing all kinds of stuff on his box. Doesnt suprise me. I always do a clean install after backing up my home. | 01:52 |
| Flannel | [zaf]-Coral: UML things will, Umbrello is one (QT), or you can just use something like Dia | 01:52 |
| sebsebseb | Mandi: see above what I just put to linuxguy2009 sometimes upgrades or newever versions can mess something up | 01:53 |
| DisguisedAngel | helpme, it will not mess with your windows files and such. If you have enough room on your hard drive then during the install, when you get to the partition part, make sure you let it do the configuration, using the rest of the drive to install ubuntu on. DO NOT do it manually unless you know what you are doing and DO NOT select "use entire disk" | 01:53 |
| The_reaper489 | lotec: are you there? | 01:53 |
| bonez2046 | courpse: so, back all up to other media, do fresh install, then reload /home and applications? | 01:53 |
| [zaf]-Coral | Billiard, not implementing a database :/ | 01:53 |
| BluesKaj | paragonc, you were using bash , don't put that in the command | 01:53 |
| [zaf]-Coral | Flannel, thanks will check it out | 01:53 |
| _ged | hi, in windows, there's a SERVICES right? on the "services.msc", then you can start or stop the services in there, in ubuntu, how can i start or stop a service?? | 01:53 |
| courpse | bonez2046, Sure. | 01:53 |
| DisguisedAngel | helpme, if you just want to try it out, try the live version, just slip the install CD in and run it | 01:53 |
| phenom | linuxguy2009, Yea, it's very frustrating. Every ubuntu upgrade breaks something, | 01:53 |
| DisguisedAngel | helpme, the performance will be a bit less since it is runnign off of CD but you will get the idea. | 01:53 |
| paragonc | BluesKaj: sudo: /home/jackmurphy/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-180.29-pkg1.run: command not found | 01:54 |

| owen1 | how to install text-based ubuntu with xubuntu desktop cd? | 01:57 |
| DisguisedAngel | helpme, http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ download the windows version of this program, then download the Ubuntu from their website and then run the unetbootin program and it will ask you for your image, that's the ISO you will be downloading. After that, boot your computer into bios to ensure it is set to boot from USB before hard drive. | 01:57 |
| linuxguy2009 | sebsebseb: Hmm i didnt know that. Im thinking when 10.04 LTS comes out I may stick with it until the next LTS not decided yet. Just for stability and reliability. Plus it helps when buying commercial apps for it like Nero Linxu 4 that i just bought will stay compatible with my ubuntu version. | 01:57 |
| paragonc | BluesKaj: does it matter how i launch that file? It executes when i prepend it with bash - and then fails | 01:57 |

| Mandi | sebsebseb: it happened twice consecutively; i'd have the check the RAM, and i don't know how to do that with the live session going, i'd have to reboot windows and that will take about 30 minutes | 02:04 |
| DisguisedAngel | thx | 02:04 |

| ubottu | Lucid Lynx is the codename for Ubuntu 10.04, due April 2010 - See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l02bhwofEqw for announcement video. | 02:05 |
| Mandi | sebsebseb: windows XP professional, and I also have XP home installed on there | 02:05 |
| sebsebseb | Mandi: 30 minutes to boot Windows? | 02:05 |
| linuxguy2009 | johnny05: Did the device work out of the box? Also did you install other drivers? | 02:05 |
| BluesKaj | paragonc, did you try to find what nvidia card you have so we can match up the driver , in the terminal , lspci | grep BGA | 02:05 |
| sebsebseb | Mandi: ok how old is the computer? | 02:05 |
| linuxguy2009 | johnny05: Your trying to see which on actually worked? | 02:05 |

| hyperstream | a simple main drive or /boot partition can help me here guys please... | 02:05 |
| helpme | i have a question about which dropdown files i should download on the UNetbootin download for netbook ubuntu | 02:05 |
| BluesKaj | paragonc, did you try to find what nvidia card you have so we can match up the driver , in the terminal , lspci | grep VGA | 02:05 |
| hyperstream | when i install Ubuntu onto a external USB 1TB hard drive, i made a 10gig/boot and a 100gig / mount point and a 4gig swaparea..... Do i install the bootloader into /boot partition? or to the drive itself sdd ? or /boot -> sdd2? | 02:05 |
| Mandi | sebsebseb: maybe i'm exaggerating a little, but it's at least 15 - i have enough time to start it, then start laundry, go upstairs and get coffee, then come back & it's still loading | 02:05 |
| [zaf]-Coral | Flannel, Thanks Umbrello is working fine :) | 02:05 |
| paragonc | BluesKaj: GeForce 8400 GS | 02:05 |
| Mandi | sebsebseb: the CPU is about 6 yrs old | 02:05 |
| sebsebseb | Mandi: ok 15 minutes to boot Windows that's not right | 02:06 |
| sebsebseb | it really isn't | 02:06 |
| johnny05 | linuxguy2009: the adapter works when running a desktop install of ubuntu. right now i'm trying a minimal install. compiled the madwifi driver, but not sure if i installed it correctly. | 02:06 |
| linuxguy2009 | helpme: Just go manually download the ISO and then pount unetbootin to the ISO and drive to write to. | 02:06 |
| sebsebseb | Mandi: I remember this old lap top from about uhmm 2000 I guess, with 6GB hard disk and XP Pro, and that loads up in a few minutes or so | 02:06 |
| DisguisedAngel | what is the keyboard short cut to close out of x and everything and go to command line? | 02:06 |
| hyperstream | when i install Ubuntu onto a external USB 1TB hard drive, i made a 10gig/boot and a 100gig / mount point and a 4gig swaparea..... Do i install the bootloader into /boot partition? or to the drive itself sdd ? or /boot -> sdd2? | 02:06 |
| Mandi | sebsebseb: i know - my dad is an IT guy and i keep trying to get him to help me out, but he's always too busy to give me any pointers other than defrag, disk cleanup, & ccleaner | 02:07 |
| sebsebseb | Mandi: DId you disk defrag Windows? what kind of stuff is installed on it? | 02:07 |
| linuxguy2009 | johnny05: Well if the device wasnt detected before and now it is detected after a driver install I would have to say yeah. I miss something? | 02:07 |
| DisguisedAngel | helpme, when you message someone, put their name in front, so it highlights for them to see, so they don't miss it. You need the 32 bit 9.10 release. | 02:07 |
| johnny05 | linuxguy2009: so is there any way to check if a particular driver has been loaded | 02:07 |
| sebsebseb | Mandi: Well there are ways to make WIndows run better, but you want to go Ubuntu anyway, and that's a good way to go | 02:07 |
| Mandi | sebsebseb: i defrag all the time, and it defrags weekly on a schedule | 02:08 |
| linuxguy2009 | johnny05: No idea. | 02:08 |
| helpme | DisguisedAngel i dont kno where to go from the first little download page | 02:08 |
| DisguisedAngel | helpme, hold on a sec let me look | 02:08 |
| johnny05 | well, whatever. it's detected. i guess i just need to configure it now? wpa? | 02:09 |
| paolo | ! | 02:09 |
| Mandi | sebsebseb: i think i uninstalled MS office, and some other stuff - last time i checked i had over 50% of the hard drive available; anyway - the speed of that pc is one of the reasons i want to switch to ubuntu, besides the free factor | 02:09 |
| === Guest65618 is now known as meff | ||

| linuxguy2009 | johnny05: Was there a driver to begin with? And you wanted to replace it? | 02:09 |
| DisguisedAngel | helpme, did you download unetbootin? I assume you have it pulled up right now, is that correct? | 02:09 |

| LOPA | Billiard, no go X crashes | 02:10 |
| TDJACR | !repeat > mehedi | 02:10 |
| sebsebseb | Mandi: ok it's probably fine, but it's a good idea to do a quick md5sum check to make sure it's a good one. a lot easier to do it in Ubuntu as well, yes you can on the Live CD | 02:10 |
| mehedi | is it possible to add customed sound for incoming mail in evolution? | 02:10 |
| ubottu | mehedi, please see my private message | 02:10 |
| helpme | DisguisedAngel, yes i have the initial download window up, and i do not kno where to go from there | 02:10 |
| Mandi | sebsebseb: how do i do that? | 02:10 |
| Billiard | LOPA: sorry, idk | 02:10 |
| hades__ | does anyone have a Vaio laptop? | 02:10 |
| LOPA | Billiard, thanks for trying | 02:11 |
| pigphish | Any experience with OCROPUS? | 02:11 |
| Billiard | LOPA: what was wrong on karmic same thing? | 02:11 |
| zhangxiong | hello ,boys and girls! | 02:11 |
| johnny05 | linuxguy2009: if a minimal ubuntu install of 9.04 has a wireless driver, than it did. i tried installing madwifi. i would like to know if i did it successfully? | 02:11 |
| LOPA | Billiard, karmic? | 02:11 |
| sebsebseb | Mandi: also before the psyical CD boots up, there's an option on the CD that checks if the psyical CD is ok or not | 02:11 |
| linuxguy2009 | hades__: Whats your real question? | 02:11 |
| DisguisedAngel | helpme, for distribution select "Ubuntu" for the next dropdown select "9.10_Live" | 02:11 |
| HowardtheDuck | hey. will it mess anything up if i remove gnome-screensaver? i heard if i remove parts of ubuntu it will crash my system when it does updates | 02:11 |
| sebsebseb | Mandi: uh I meant before the live sesson on it boots up or the install option | 02:11 |
| Billiard | LOPA: 9.10 | 02:11 |
| LOPA | same resolution prob | 02:12 |
| helpme | DisguisedAngel, haha sorry i didnt see the scroll bar | 02:12 |
| LOPA | Billiard, they got rid of 915resolution tool | 02:12 |
| Mandi | sebsebseb: sorry - i got it, no the integrity of the CD is fine - i used it on two of the 3 laptops here with no probs; the desktop is the only one with the error message | 02:12 |
| DisguisedAngel | helpme, then if you have your USB inserted and it is selected on the bottom, just hit the Ok button | 02:12 |
| LOPA | Billiard, that worked | 02:12 |
| linuxguy2009 | johnny05: Not sure. I personally would have done a "sudo lshw -c lan" before and after the install and it would tell you right away. | 02:12 |
| hades__ | linuxguy2009: i wanna be able to turn off the devices but as being a noob am stuck on the easiest way to do it | 02:12 |
| DisguisedAngel | helpme, it's all good. We have all been there and learned the basics... you will get the hang of it really fast. | 02:12 |
| linuxguy2009 | hades__: Turn off what devices? | 02:12 |
| sebsebseb | Mandi: the ISO is probably fine yes, still easy to do the check, plus if you do this from the Live CD, your going to learn a little Desktop Linux already | 02:13 |
| hades__ | WWAN, bluetooth, dvd, usb, eth0, | 02:13 |
| sebsebseb | Mandi: before you even have a proper install on any computer? there is no psyical install yet right? | 02:13 |
| Mandi | sebsebseb: ok, doing it - geez, twist my arm why don't ya... | 02:13 |
| linuxguy2009 | hades__: I would say to check your BIOS for those features. | 02:13 |
| Mandi | sebsebseb, yes - no physical install yet | 02:13 |
| helpme | DisgustedAngel, do you personally use ubuntu? and have you used windows? | 02:13 |
| sebsebseb | Mandi: ok since Ubuntu 7.10 (October 2007) Ubuntu has been able to read and write to Windows NTFS partitions no problem, as long as Windows shut it down properly | 02:14 |
| === Guest88173 is now known as meff | ||
| venger | anyone else had the install issue where you are asked for the disk mid install? this has been a known issue at least with NEC optiarc drives since 8.x. I think i may have resorted to a debootstrap method but i'm wonder if there is any other work around | 02:14 |
| tuzi | hello,everyone! | 02:14 |
| hades__ | <linuxguy2009> it can be done by typing sudo echo 1 > /location/wwanpower etc... | 02:14 |
| DisguisedAngel | helpme, be sure not to judge Ubuntu's performance off of the live run. Menus, programs, everything will take a bit longer to load because it has to grab it from the USB. | 02:14 |
| === meff is now known as Guest91895 | ||
| sebsebseb | Mandi: It's in the WIndows partiton yes? | 02:14 |
| Mandi | sebsebseb: are you saying that the physical install will overwrite windows? - if that's what you're saying, then good - that's what i want on the desktop computer | 02:14 |
| linuxguy2009 | venger: Maybe use unetbootin as an alternative on that machine? | 02:14 |
| sebsebseb | Mandi: no that's not what I am saying, but yes you can easilly do that | 02:15 |
| DisguisedAngel | helpme, yes I personally use ubuntu on all my computers and yes I have used windows 3.1, 95, XP, Vista and 7 | 02:15 |
| Mandi | sebsebseb: ok, then i have no idea what you are asking - what's in the windows partition? | 02:15 |
| linuxguy2009 | hades__: So you found your answer then? | 02:15 |
| helpme | DisguisedAngel, it says its done with the instalation but the progress bar is at 0 | 02:15 |
| sebsebseb | Mandi: Ok do you know what a partition is? | 02:15 |
| BluesKaj | paragonc, try this driver, but you must remove any other installed nvidia drivers first . Then sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-185 | 02:15 |
| Mandi | sebsebseb: in theory, but i've never worked with them | 02:15 |
| DisguisedAngel | helpme, the unetbootin program says it is done? | 02:15 |
| paragonc | BluesKaj: how do i remove other drivers? | 02:16 |
| Mandi | sebsebseb: well not on purpose, anyway | 02:16 |
| sebsebseb | Mandi: ok well when your installing Ubuntu from the Live CD, you will be doing that | 02:16 |
| hades__ | <linuxguy2009> well ye but typing it in for every device takes the piss, can you give me a pointer on how to script it? | 02:16 |
| helpme | yes, but i pulled up the files on my usb, and it's not there | 02:16 |
| DisguisedAngel | helpme, then try this, just a sec. | 02:16 |
| venger | linuxguy2009, i'll look at the frugal install option (short on spare usb sticks :) ) thanks for the suggest | 02:16 |
| mdeonte | I HAZ SSL | 02:17 |
| linuxguy2009 | hades__: Yes if I remember correctly there is a file /etc/rc.local where you can script commands right there on bootup. Think thats the right file. | 02:17 |
| tuzi | zhangxiong | 02:17 |
| tuzi | ,where are you ? | 02:17 |
| paragonc | E: Couldn't find package nvidia-glx-185 | 02:17 |
| tuzi | zhangxiong,where are you ? | 02:17 |
| linuxguy2009 | paragonc: Check your apt sources are enabled. | 02:17 |
| hades__ | <linuxguy2009> i wanna be able to control wen they are on and off ie. wen i'm on battery or plugged in | 02:17 |
| linuxguy2009 | hades__: Good luck on that. | 02:18 |
| DisguisedAngel | helpme, download Ubuntu 9.10 for 32bit directly from here. http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download | 02:18 |
| BluesKaj | sudo apt-get remove name-of-otherdriver | 02:18 |
| paragonc | linuxguy2009: which ones? i use apt-get | 02:18 |
| Mandi | sebsebseb: well i understand that, but i'm not sure what you were asking when you said "it's in the windows partition yes?" | 02:18 |
| GnuSeb | help, I got a sony f-v320 mic and i installed skype but it's not working, for some reason it's not receiving the sound, i checked the sound settings and they're all way up, what should i do? | 02:18 |
| linuxguy2009 | paragonc: all of em personally. | 02:18 |
| sebsebseb | Mandi: also if your going to check the ISO from the Live CD, first you need to open the Windows partition so it is mounted. then I think it will be mounted in /media or /mt and uh. then system > administration > terminal cd /media/disk1 for example. Can cheat also and make this much easier :) and I asked if the ISO is in the WIndows partition | 02:18 |

| DisguisedAngel | helpme, it will download as an ISO file. Once it is done, use the unetbootin program again, but don't use the distribution part, instead drop down to the part in the program that asks for the ISO, select that Ubuntu ISO you downloaded and load it up onto your USB with unetbootin. | 02:19 |

| helpme | disguisedangel, ok ill write that down | 02:19 |
| sebsebseb | Mandi: really Canonical should be making it more clear to people to md5sum an ISO for Ubuntu, yours is probably fine, but it's good practice to check it anyway. Ok don't worry about that for now, it can be checked later with Ubuntu or Windows. and it probably doesn't need to be. | 02:20 |
| DisguisedAngel | helpme, it would take just as long to do it directly through unetbootin too if it was working. Do you have Skype? | 02:20 |
| sebsebseb | Mandi: well your here again, so let's help you get set up with a good Ubuntu set up I guess | 02:20 |

| linxeh | jzacsh: csv isnt a control system | 02:29 |

| helpme | DisguisedAngel, its on my Usb, but it's only 147 kb, isnt that sorta small for an operating system? | 02:29 |
| jzacsh | oh haha, not comma separated values, i meant control version system | 02:29 |
| linxeh | jzacsh: f you mean CVS, you might find SubVersion (SVN) easier to get into | 02:29 |

| jzacsh | linxeh, I'm only looking to it because some projects i want code for use cvs (on sourceforge) - otherwise I'd use git, as it seems really easy to use | 02:30 |
| DisguisedAngel | helpme, check the properties on the netbook remix file and tell me how big that ISO that you downloaded is. | 02:30 |
| linxeh | jzacsh: sourceforge has a page for each project telling you how to check their code out of their repositories | 02:31 |
| calvin_FreeNode | hello. I have problem suspending 9.10, 9.04 | 02:31 |
| dvokurka | calvin_FreeNode: use hibernate instead | 02:31 |
| dvokurka | calvin_FreeNode: I find it works better for me | 02:32 |
| chad | Does anyone know how to load a wifi profile into /etc/network/interfaces? | 02:32 |
| calvin_FreeNode | after I click suspend, the led light on my box is still on. but monitor turns off. I can hear the fan is still on. But I can not activated with keyboard or mouse | 02:32 |
| chad | I have a wifi card, ubuntu sees it using lspci. I can connect to wifi using iwconfig - but I want to set it up so it automatically loads everytime I turn on the PC. | 02:32 |
| only2jean | I am feeling good how is everybody doing? | 02:33 |
| helpme | DisguisedAngel i found the Zipped file in another location it's 700,000 kbs (not sure what that is in gigs or Mb's) but thats a lot bigger | 02:33 |
| linuxguy2009 | calvin_FreeNode: Calvin thats normal. On suspend the power stays on. | 02:33 |
| mehedi | has there any offline english dictionary for ubuntu? | 02:33 |
| jzacsh | linxeh thanks | 02:33 |
| calvin_FreeNode | so is there a sleep mode like windows does? | 02:33 |
| ChogyDan | chad: you just need the format of the interfaces file. Im sure you can find it online | 02:33 |
| mehedi | has there any offline english dictionary for ubuntu? | 02:33 |
| linuxguy2009 | calvin_FreeNode: To wake try the power button as well? | 02:33 |
| mehedi | has there any offline english dictionary for ubuntu? | 02:33 |
| DisguisedAngel | helpme, ya that sounds about right. Make sure this is the ISO you are selecting in Unetbootin | 02:33 |
| calvin_FreeNode | I have. didn't work | 02:33 |
| andresmh | When I get a new IM in Pidgin, it doesn't show the new notification popup. Instead it just blinks like this: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/285483/tmp/screenshot93.png | 02:34 |
| dvokurka | calvin_FreeNode: hibernate saves u battery power too | 02:34 |
| mehedi | has there any offline english dictionary for ubuntu? | 02:34 |
| === Guest98379 is now known as meff | ||
| linuxguy2009 | calvin_FreeNode: Windows and Ubuntu both have suspend, hybernate features yes. | 02:34 |
| sanjid | I'm having trouble making a usb version of the unr boot iso | 02:34 |
| andresmh | any idea how I can make Pidgin report new messages with the new notification popups? | 02:34 |
| ravia | status | 02:34 |
| linuxguy2009 | calvin_FreeNode: Hibernate saves all RAM to swapspace and loads it back up on reboot. | 02:34 |
| DisguisedAngel | sanjid, are you using usb-creator? | 02:34 |
| === meff is now known as Guest92859 | ||
| chad | ChogyDan: been looking. Not sure if thats what I actually need? I want a setup where if I plug in an ethernet cable, it takes priority -- if ethernet gets unplugged it switches to WiFi and looks for available network. If I can't have it "look" for a network I would like to specify 2 networks. | 02:34 |
| calvin_FreeNode | xp calls it suspend. vista and windows 7 call it sleep | 02:34 |
| sanjid | DisguisedAngel: I was using dd, but I then tried USB creator | 02:34 |
| mehedi | has there any offline english dictionary for ubuntu? | 02:35 |
| calvin_FreeNode | sleep is much faster than hibernate | 02:35 |
| ChogyDan | chad: what happens you set both of them up? | 02:35 |
| chad | ChogyDan: Im doing it all from command line because its a minimal install and I am not a linux expert. | 02:35 |
| ravia | exit | 02:35 |
| helpme | DisguisedAngel, ok now it looks like its doing something | 02:35 |
| chad | ChogyDan: not sure how to set it up. | 02:35 |
| DisguisedAngel | sanjid, try unetbootin http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ | 02:35 |
| sanjid | with usb creator, the "make startup disk" option is greyed out, even though everything looks normal | 02:35 |
| chad | ChogyDan: I use iwconfig wlan0 essid mywifi | 02:35 |
| DisguisedAngel | helpme, great! Sounds like the first time it may have had the wrong file lol. | 02:35 |
| dvokurka | sanjid: u might need to format ur usb | 02:36 |
| chad | ChogyDan: Then I have to type "iwconfig wlan0 up" | 02:36 |
| ChogyDan | chad: unfortunately, the best I could help you is find a web page with the syntax | 02:36 |
| chad | haha... alright I will keep searching :( | 02:36 |
| helpme | DisguisedAngel, and my usb is filling up, it has one of those storage display things on i | 02:36 |

| helpme | DisguisedAngel, wait... is 700,000 kbs 7 gigs? | 02:37 |
| dvokurka | no 700Mb | 02:37 |
| DisguisedAngel | helpme, as dvokurka said, 700mb | 02:37 |

| calvin_FreeNode | linuxguy2009: do you know how to make ubuntu 'sleep'? | 02:38 |
| DisguisedAngel | sanjid, try using unetbootin and selecting Diskimage and then giving it the unr iso. | 02:38 |
| dvokurka | sanjid: do u have a ubuntu iso on ur computer? | 02:38 |
| sumeetbali | does anyone use twitter here? | 02:38 |

| DisguisedAngel | helpme, well the boot from usb isn't really all that hard. You know how to get into your bios right? | 02:39 |
| sumeetbali | <ubottu> wt | 02:40 |
| sebsebseb | radams976: maybe/probably and #winehq is the place to ask | 02:40 |
| radams976 | ok | 02:40 |
| radams976 | thanxs | 02:40 |
| calvin_FreeNode | linuxguy2009: of course you could use S1 state which powers CPU as well | 02:40 |
| linuxguy2009 | calvin_FreeNode: Yes that is called suspend in Windows and Ubuntu. | 02:40 |
| sebsebseb | radams976: np good luck | 02:40 |
| helpme | DisguisedAngel, ... Bios...? haha i thought i knew alot about computers, aparently not lol | 02:40 |
| radams976 | thxns | 02:40 |

| calvin_FreeNode | linuxguy2009: anyway, doesn't work for me | 02:40 |
| andresmh | How do I get the new Ubuntu notifications in Pidgin (http://ubuntumanual.org/files/u1/ubuntu_notification.png). I have lib-notify plugin enabled for new messages, however, it only blinks when I get a new message: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/285483/tmp/screenshot93.png | 02:40 |
| Flannel | radams976: pidgin might also be of interest to you | 02:41 |
| sebsebseb | radams976: or Empathy | 02:41 |
| linuxguy2009 | calvin_FreeNode: Why do you say it doesnt work? It wont wake up? | 02:41 |
| DisguisedAngel | helpme, lol. Well if you don't know stuff like bios, your computer experience may put a little bit of a learning curve on Linux, but don't worry... Linux has gotten a lot more user friendly than it used to be. You will do just fine. Now let me get to the bios information. | 02:42 |
| Mandi | sebsebseb: i finally got the ip address - sorry it took so long, just to make sure i understand what you're saying, i install the samba with the live CD running on the computer i'm moving the files from, right? | 02:42 |
| hyperstream | WHY is the ubuntu 9.10 install disk BROKEN, the grub loader doesnt work.... doesnt someone test this before releasing ? | 02:42 |
| sebsebseb | Mandi: my install of 9.10 is nearly clean, it seems I already got Samba stuff installed, so maybe you do as well on the Live CD | 02:42 |
| sebsebseb | Mandi: well that's easy enough to find out if you do or don't, and easy to install if you don't | 02:42 |
| osubuck | hyperstream: it worked fine for me, maybe its just you | 02:43 |
| DisguisedAngel | helpme, during the VERY beginning of the of booting up your computer, when it probably gives you some simple colored DELL logo or something, down towards the bottom should be some instructions on how to get into your bios, like press Esc, delete, F1, F2 or something like that. Bios' are usually blue and white pages that allow you to change some things about your computer. | 02:43 |
| hyperstream | WHY is the ubuntu 9.10 install disk BROKEN, the grub loader doesnt work.... doesnt someone test this before releasing ? I get grub boot error, no such file ......... ive installed it to the /boot parition /dev/sdd2 and the actual drive in over a number of formats --> /dev/sdd doesnt work either | 02:43 |
| sebsebseb | Mandi: system > administration > synaptic package manager search for samba and is any of that stuff green? or you could just run an install command for one of the programs and it will say if it's installed or not sudo apt-get install samba-common | 02:43 |
| hyperstream | osubuck its wierd | 02:43 |
| sebsebseb | Mandi: applications > assesssories > terminal for commands | 02:43 |

| helpme | DisguisedAngel so i should find some sort of "boot from usb drive" there? | 02:44 |
| === meff is now known as Guest34258 | ||
| DisguisedAngel | helpme, Don't mess with any of it but the part you need to. You need to find the "Boot Order" section, or one that you think might be hinting towards a boot order or boot priority or something. Then you need to make sure that the one that says something about USB, like USB storage or drive or something, is higher in the list of things you can boot from than your Hard Drive. | 02:44 |

| fcuk112 | snuffy47: strange. which folder are you writing the data to? | 03:00 |
| the_beav | seriously, it goes from 100% 56% lol i can't be the only person with this prblem | 03:00 |
| snuffy47 | fcuk112, it is a samba share on the server. //media/movies1/Torrents | 03:00 |
| sebsebseb | Mandi: how's it going? | 03:00 |
| ChogyDan | Nautilus: I thought you could do that by configuring apache to use different folders, and the websites to use different tables | 03:01 |
| snuffy47 | fcuk112, I was wondering if it was a write problem | 03:01 |
| sebsebseb | snuffy47: you done Samba in 9.10? | 03:01 |
| Nautilus | dont want different tables | 03:01 |
| Mandi | sebsebseb: i just got a message that the software manager thingy stopped working and closed unexpectedly - i'm going to do the whole mess in windows | 03:01 |
| snuffy47 | fcuk112, I was wondering if it was a write problem | 03:01 |
| ChogyDan | Nautilus: why not? | 03:01 |
| Nautilus | why? | 03:01 |
| fcuk112 | snuffy47: yea, maybe try to write to a local folder first. | 03:01 |
| Nautilus | ;) | 03:01 |
| snuffy47 | sebsebseb, no it is on jaunty | 03:01 |
| DisguisedAngel | what is the command to open file roller from terminal? I forgot what someone told me. | 03:01 |
| sebsebseb | snuffy47: nevermind I guess, I was trying to help Mandi get set up with Samba, but she/he was getting issues with Live CD | 03:01 |
| stooball | Hi all | 03:01 |
| snuffy47 | fcuk112, It is a local folder on server where deluge is | 03:01 |
| Nautilus | ChogyDan: mostly because when the sites are uploaded thay each get their own DB | 03:01 |
| linuxguy2009 | DisguisedAngel: file-roller | 03:01 |
| DisguisedAngel | linuxguy2009 thanks | 03:01 |
| linuxguy2009 | welcome | 03:02 |
| sebsebseb | Mandi: it might already be installed | 03:02 |
| fcuk112 | snuffy47: try a folder under your home/username/ folder | 03:02 |
| ChogyDan | Nautilus: same tables == same data == same website. If you are using different websites, then will use different tables anyway probably | 03:02 |
| snuffy47 | okay | 03:02 |
| sebsebseb | Mandi: I just wanted to test that | 03:02 |
| Nautilus | ChogyDan: the tables are the same for each | 03:02 |
| linuxguy2009 | SingAlong_: You got some output for me? | 03:02 |
| snuffy47 | sebsebseb, what is the problem I am a noob but will help if can | 03:02 |
| stooball | I have an HP pavilion zx5180us and have spent the lat 2 days trying to get the wireless to work again | 03:02 |
| sebsebseb | Mandi: since I seem to have Samaba installed and this is nearly a clean installl of 9.10 | 03:02 |
| stooball | Can anyone helpme? | 03:03 |
| Mandi | sebsebseb: i was trying to find it in the software manager, but i guess i was moving too fast for the CD drive or something and we're getting all kinds of error messages | 03:03 |
| cdw32 | hello all. would anyone be able to assist me in installing Adobe Flash 10 on my mini 12? | 03:03 |
| sebsebseb | Mandi: error messages such as? | 03:03 |
| linuxguy2009 | stooball: We dont know yet. Whats your question? | 03:03 |
| DisguisedAngel | linuxguy2009, gksudo fileroller did not open the fileroller :( What am I doing wrong? | 03:03 |
| stooball | I have an HP pavilion zx5180us and have spent the lat 2 days trying to get the wireless to work again | 03:03 |
| sebsebseb | snuffy47: oh I was just wondering if Samba gets installed by default with 9.10 | 03:03 |
| jzacsh | cdw32, I believe you should be fine just downloading the ".deb" file from http://get.adobe.com/flash/ | 03:03 |
| paragonc | ok - so i dropped in the 9.04 cd - and clicked install - but now its just sitting at command prompt | 03:03 |
| stooball | last that is | 03:03 |
| linuxguy2009 | DisguisedAngel: you forgot the "-" | 03:03 |
| SingAlong_ | linuxguy2009: i found something in the docs | 03:03 |
| linuxguy2009 | DisguisedAngel: gksudo file-roller | 03:03 |
| paragonc | i also cant ssh into the installer | 03:04 |
| DisguisedAngel | linuxguy2009... god I am an idiot, thanks | 03:04 |
| scunizi | Is there a gui front end for dcraw.. ?? | 03:04 |
| linuxguy2009 | DisguisedAngel: yep | 03:04 |
| SingAlong_ | linuxguy2009: in this page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne it says "I have a AOA 150 and had to add blacklist acer_wmi to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist for my wifi to work " | 03:04 |
| cdw32 | jzacsh: thank you | 03:04 |
| Mandi | sebsebseb: sebsebseb: not sure, dh is clicking on the desktop computer - he reads them off, then clicks them away - it seems to be running fine again; apparently if we leave the machine idle for too long, the CD forgets that it's reading something??? | 03:04 |
| === Guest64380 is now known as meff | ||
| sebsebseb | Mandi: dh??? | 03:04 |
| sanjid | so, what's a good size for my swap partition? | 03:04 |
| Mandi | sebsebseb: checking the software center now for samba to see if it's installed | 03:04 |
| SingAlong_ | linuxguy2009: how do i add it to the black list? the blacklist file doesnt exist | 03:04 |
| Mandi | sebsebseb: dear husband... | 03:04 |

| Grasber | hi | 03:04 |
| paragonc | is there a command i can give it to start the installer? | 03:04 |
| Grasber | how can i get personal assistance from someone?, it's important :( | 03:05 |
| jzacsh | Grasber, what's the issue? | 03:05 |
| === punkie is now known as Grig | ||
| Bam_Bam | Grasber, usually you can just ask someone here. | 03:06 |
| sebsebseb | Mandi: ok that's what I thought for quite a while now or from the begining, a woman, but sometimes guys use female names in here or so it seems. Live CD's yeah can be slow it has to put everything into RAM, and also if the CD drive is slow hmm. | 03:06 |
| Grasber | look, i installed ubuntu on my dad's laptop, and now his win xp intallaton won't start | 03:06 |
| linuxguy2009 | SingAlong_: My guess is that you need to do a ALT+F2 and run "gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf" and add it in there. | 03:06 |
| uccadmin | Does anyone know why in the new GDM (Karmic) some of my users are displayed with their username in parenthesis after their "Real Name"? Was there a change made to the way that users are displayed? | 03:06 |
| === Grig is now known as GrigLarson | ||
| cdw32 | jzacsh: it fail to install. it had me run a code in lterminal | 03:06 |
| SingAlong_ | linuxguy2009: ya added it :) | 03:06 |
| sebsebseb | Grasber: Is there an option for it on the boot loader? | 03:06 |
| SingAlong_ | linuxguy2009: do i have to do anything else next? | 03:07 |
| Grasber | it says it's a 31 error from grub | 03:07 |
| Grasber | i mean: 21 error | 03:07 |
| linuxguy2009 | SingAlong_: No clue. Maybe logout and back in or reboot no idea. | 03:07 |
| Mandi | sebsebseb: i'm going to shut down the live CD and copy the data through windows - i'll be back when it's done | 03:07 |
| sebsebseb | uccadmin: not sure, but that GDM sucks, it can't even be themed like the old one, since they didn't code that in to the re write of GDM | 03:07 |
| jzacsh | cdw32, what's the name of the debian package you downloaded? | 03:07 |
| sebsebseb | Mandi: I might not be here | 03:07 |
| sebsebseb | Mandi: it's a bit late here really | 03:08 |
| cdw32 | jzacsh: intsall_flash_player_10_linus.deb | 03:08 |
| uccadmin | sebsebseb: I'm okay with it so far, although it is limited. It just baffles me that there are a few users displayed as "This is my real name (username)" while others are "This is my real name" | 03:08 |
| Mandi | sebsebseb: that's fine - you started the ball rolling - i think i've got it from here; will there be someone else on if i run into trouble? | 03:08 |
| ve0 | is anybody here? | 03:08 |
| stooball | anyone else having wireless probs since upgrading Ubuntu 9.1? | 03:08 |
| sebsebseb | Mandi: when you partition later if you do manual install... | 03:08 |
| linuxguy2009 | uccadmin: What are the user names and what do they look like exactly? | 03:08 |
| jzacsh | cdw32, currently this is the location of the debian installer http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/thankyou/?installer=Flash_Player_10_for_Linux_(.deb) | 03:08 |
| ve0 | ow! ) | 03:08 |
| jzacsh | cdw32, download that ^ and let me know if its the same name | 03:08 |
| sanjid | what's a good size for a swap size partition? | 03:08 |
| paragonc | why doesnt the graphical installer come up? grrrr | 03:09 |
| ve0 | iptables -I INPUT -p tcp -j fail2ban-sasl returned 400 | 03:09 |

| * paragonc is super frustrated tonight | 03:09 | |
| === Guest62065 is now known as meff | ||
| linuxguy2009 | cdw32: Doesnt work quite right in 9.10 BTW. | 03:09 |
| jzacsh | ve0, you have to say something specific, what's wrong? | 03:09 |
| === meff is now known as Guest56131 | ||
| stooball | anyone else having wireless probs since upgrading Ubuntu 9.1? | 03:09 |
| Nautilus | sanjid: I think 2x RAM | 03:10 |
| sebsebseb | Mandi: sure loads of people are in here. I am quite active in here at the moment, but I don't want to be that active at night in here anymore, and yes it's night here. | 03:10 |
| uccadmin | linuxguy2009: I have three that are doing this and one two that are normal. The accounts "uccadmin" and "ucc-win7" display only the "real name" on the GDM login. My other accounts (ucc-mac, ucc-win, ucc-ubu) all show the "real name" followed by the username in parenthesis | 03:10 |

| ve0 | jzacsh iptabel rule do not ad and i have thise error... | 03:10 |
| sanjid | Nautilus: thanks | 03:10 |
| cdw32 | linuxguy2009: i believe | 03:10 |
| debio264 | I just installed Ubuntu (Karmic) on a desktop that's been running a different distribution of linux for quite some time, and now it's booting, running through BIOS, printing GRUB, and hanging | 03:10 |
| linuxguy2009 | cdw32: Oh ok itll work perfect for you then. :) | 03:10 |
| derp | Hi! I'd like to set up the folders in my home folder (Documents, Pictures, etc...) to point to folders inside of my Ubuntu One folder. Can this be achieved? Would symlinking work? | 03:10 |
| paragonc | insnt the installer suppoed to do stuff and not drop me into a command line? | 03:10 |
| cdw32 | linuxguy2009: thanks | 03:10 |
| sebsebseb | !ubuntuone | derp | 03:10 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ubuntuone | 03:10 |
| ve0 | jzacsh what wrong in this rule? | 03:10 |
| paragonc | its acting like it launched the live cd to command line | 03:10 |
| sebsebseb | derp: still no factoid | 03:11 |
| cdw32 | jzacsh: same name | 03:11 |
| linuxguy2009 | derp: I think ubuntu-tweak can do this very easily if you want a GUI to help. | 03:11 |
| sebsebseb | derp: #ubuntuone is a channel | 03:11 |
| sebsebseb | Mandi: when you install | 03:11 |
| derp | sebsebseb: thanks, iĺl look at that | 03:11 |
| jzacsh | ve0, I don't understand. you're having trouble with an iptable? what exactly are you trying to do? | 03:11 |
| derp | linuxguy2009: I saw that but it | 03:11 |
| sebsebseb | Mandi: there's an option that will put it on the whole of your hard disk and that's a default set up | 03:11 |
| derp | it´s not quite what i wanted | 03:11 |
| snuffy47 | fcuk112, Well that seemed to fix it. Neeod to find and active private tracker now. Why is this s | 03:11 |
| paragonc | it just shows ubuntu@ubuntu | 03:11 |
| cdw32 | jzacsh: it is giving me the same error message that the dependencies failed it install | 03:11 |
| debio264 | I just installed Ubuntu (Karmic) on a desktop that's been running a different distribution of linux for quite some time, and now it's booting, running through BIOS, printing GRUB, and hanging. Is this a known bug and/or is there a way I can just reinstall GRUB? | 03:11 |
| linuxguy2009 | derp: but it what? | 03:11 |
| jzacsh | cdw32 you've opened with the "package installer"? and clicked "install package" button? (with a green checkmark) | 03:12 |
| linuxguy2009 | Oh | 03:12 |
| sebsebseb | Mandi: however it won't set up a seperate /home which in the long run could be rather useful, if you have a reason to re install Ubuntu, or you want to put some other distro on | 03:12 |
| linuxguy2009 | derp: What didnt float your boat about that? | 03:12 |
| cdw32 | jzacsh: yes | 03:12 |
| sanjid | so, just windows, /, and swap? | 03:12 |
| ve0 | jzacsh I was instaled fail2ban... and fail2ban do not banned the brut to ssh, and paste error in log... | 03:12 |
| sanjid | or are there more partitions that would be good ideals? | 03:12 |
| Mandi | sebsebseb: k... how do i make it do that then | 03:12 |
| sanjid | *ideas | 03:12 |
| jzacsh | cdw32, can you paste the error here (or in a pastebin if its big) | 03:12 |
| derp | linuxguy2009: i was hoping to keep my directory structure as it is, except that when I drop something into, say, /home/user/Documents, it actually dropps it off in /home/user/ubuntuone/documents | 03:12 |
| derp | if that makes sense | 03:12 |
| ve0 | 2009-11-16 05:59:11,569 fail2ban.actions.action: ERROR iptables -N fail2ban-sasl | 03:12 |

| ve0 | iptables -I INPUT -p tcp -j fail2ban-sasl returned 400 | 03:13 |
| cdw32 | jzacsh: yes one moment | 03:13 |
| stooball | debio264 - I think you can do a grub update somehow | 03:13 |
| sebsebseb | Mandi: they can be set up after woulds, but I have never done that, and it's probably much easier to set up on a clean install. plus you want some swap space double your RAM really. | 03:13 |
| ve0 | jzacsh like thise | 03:13 |
| sebsebseb | !home | Mandi | 03:13 |
| ubottu | Mandi: Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome | 03:13 |
| sebsebseb | !swap | Mandi | 03:13 |
| ubottu | Mandi: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info | 03:13 |
| derp | in other words, i'd like the directory structure to remain intact. this is becasue I'm using UNR and the shortcuts point very specifically to the folders in /home/user | 03:13 |
| linuxguy2009 | derp: In a nautilus window in the sidepane you can add ubuntu one folders I would imagine to simplify. | 03:13 |
| jzacsh | ve0, I honestly have no experience with what you're doing. maybe someone else could help you. I'd suggest googling that error. although, probably just reading more in the man page for that app will help you | 03:13 |
| paragonc | Trying to upgrade from 8.10 to 9.04. I dropped the cd in - select english - select install. It loads some info, and then drops me into a command line saying: ubuntu@ubuntu - what now? | 03:14 |
| Roasted | in ubuntu, how can I adjust frostwire so it has a taskbar icon in the upper right by the clock./ | 03:14 |
| derp | linuxguy2009: i'm not talking about the sidepane though. I mean the UNR shortcuts in their main menu GUI | 03:14 |

| sebsebseb | Mandi: Home is also where hidden .folders go for programs with the program user data, for example .mozilla is the Firefox profile and it's settings bookmarks etc | 03:14 |
| ve0 | jzacsh thx fo help) | 03:14 |
| derp | linuxguy2009: those apparently can't be changed, so i'm wondering if symlinking would work | 03:14 |
| linuxguy2009 | derp: No way of copying one file to 2 locations at once. | 03:14 |
| === meff is now known as Guest39314 | ||
| Mandi | sebsebseb: k, like the users directory in windows...? | 03:15 |
| sebsebseb | Mandi: if you remove/move a dot folder for a program and then re open that program, it's like you have just installed it for the first time | 03:15 |
| derp | linuxguy2009: well i'm not trying to copy to 2 locations at once. I'd like for one location to actually point to another. so if you drop something in folder A, it actually ends up in folder B... | 03:15 |
| jzacsh | cdw32, have you posted yet? | 03:15 |
| root | server irc.freenode.net | 03:15 |
| derp | and i believe symlinking enables one to do that, but i'm not entirely sure | 03:15 |
| Toto23 | THE LIBERTY... YOU DONT KNOW WHAT IS IT ... OPEN SOURCE IS NOT REPRESENTED BY THE MANDRIVA COMMUNITY :( THIS IS VERY SAD | 03:15 |
| cdw32 | jzacsh: i am trying to get to the error message again | 03:15 |
| sebsebseb | Mandi: home is like my documents in Windows, but also program user data | 03:15 |
| Toto23 | is the ubuntu community better ? | 03:16 |
| derp | Toto23: HOW'S CRUISE CONTROL WORKING FOR YOU? | 03:16 |
| linuxguy2009 | derp: Your looking at it backwards I think. Ubuntu One is meant to be saved to in order to share those files on multiple machines. | 03:16 |
| snuffy47 | fcuk112, Do you know way the directory made the difference? | 03:16 |
| sebsebseb | !troll | Toto23 | 03:16 |
| ubottu | Toto23: trolling / trollish behaviour is behaviour that is considered annoying by other channel users, this includes going offtopic, asking the same question time and again getting answered and not acknowledging the answer, and these are not the only ways behaviour can be considered trolling, please see /msg ubottu guidelines - if this applies to you, you may find yourself outside the channel | 03:16 |
| NightHawk877 | The volume buttons won't work in Kubuntu karmic on my laptop | 03:16 |

| dAlfa89_ | derp, i lol'd | 03:16 |
| linuxguy2009 | derp: No idea whats confusing you. | 03:16 |
| Mandi | sebsebseb: right - in vista, that stuff is visible - a lot more so than in XP; i've seen it floating around; so do the install, then add the /home partition? | 03:16 |
| Nautilus | Can anyone help me remember what I used to install (L)AMP? It was a command something like: "pkg-list install lamp-server" | 03:16 |
| sebsebseb | Mandi: ideally yes you want to set up a seperate /home on install | 03:16 |
| Nautilus | but i dont think it was pkg-list | 03:16 |
| derp | linuxguy2009: i realize that. I'm trying to sync my netbook to my desktop. I'd like it to work in such a way that anything i drop into /home/user/documents ends up in /home/user/ubuntuone/documents so that it is automatically shared | 03:17 |
| sebsebseb | Mandi: that should be most of your hard disk space | 03:17 |
| Mandi | sebsebseb, k | 03:17 |
| NightHawk877 | can someone please help me with my volume problem | 03:17 |
| linuxguy2009 | Nautilus: apt-get install possibly? | 03:17 |
| sebsebseb | Mandi: you need a / as well that's a must have | 03:17 |
| sebsebseb | Mandi: that's Ubuntu itself | 03:17 |
| cdw32 | jzacsh: the comp said that there was a broken package (adobe flash) that needed to be fixed before i could install again | 03:17 |
| Nautilus | linuxguy2009: no, i dont think so, it wass a pkg list thing | 03:17 |
| Mandi | sebsebseb, right | 03:17 |
| jzacsh | parker-fcnyu: can you let me know how you got to that preference pane? | 03:17 |
| sebsebseb | Mandi: or whatever distro your doing if it wasn't Ubuntu | 03:17 |
| sebsebseb | Mandi: that should be about 10GB | 03:17 |
| paragonc | ok - so all the guides i read say this is a GUI installer - why is it dropping me @ command line? | 03:17 |
| parker-fcnyu | Nautilus, was it tasksel? | 03:17 |
| stooball | Good luck with that NightHawk877, no one seens to notice me | 03:17 |
| Nautilus | ohh maybe | 03:17 |
| derp | linuxguy2009: the reason I can't just change the location of /home/user/documents is because that will break the shortcut on the UNR interface that cannot be modified (as far as I can tell) | 03:17 |
| linuxguy2009 | derp: You dont need to save it to your PC documents folder at all. Just copy it to the cloud and it will sync to your machine. | 03:18 |
| sebsebseb | Mandi: a bit of swap double the size of your RAM that should do it. and yep good set up | 03:18 |
| uccadmin | Reposting: Does anyone know why in the new GDM (Karmic) some of my users are displayed with their username in parenthesis after their "Real Name"? Was there a change made to the way that users are displayed? | 03:18 |
| ve0 | anybody, who use fail2ban? | 03:18 |
| jzacsh | cdw32: you could try opening synatpic package manager. searching "adobe" and uninstalling the adobe flash packages you may have (be careful uninstalling things in this application) | 03:18 |
| sebsebseb | Mandi: this is partitioning | 03:18 |
| bepe | hi :D | 03:18 |
| od3n | anyone know the easiest way to add the trash to the desktop | 03:18 |
| jzacsh | ve0, also you could try seeing if they have there own cannel | 03:18 |
| parker-fcnyu | jzacsh, Preferences>Keyboard>Layouts>Layout Options>Alt/Win Key Behavior | 03:18 |
| ve0 | jzacsh they havent( | 03:19 |
| linuxguy2009 | derp: You might wanna go on youtube and look for a catagory5 eppisode on ubuntu one it explains a bit to help you understand the usage. | 03:19 |
| Nautilus | parker-fcnyu: that was it, tasksel ... what I need now is a site that helps me finish the config (primarily MySQL I think) | 03:19 |
| cdw32 | jzacsh: ok | 03:19 |
| derp | linuxguy: I know that. again, the problem is that i want to use the shortcut on the UNR interface to access my documents... that shortcut points to /home/user/documents, but I want my documents to be automatically shared with ubuntuone, so they'd have to find their way into /home/user/ubuntuone/documents in order to do that | 03:19 |
| === Guest39314 is now known as meff | ||
| Mandi | sebsebseb, k - i get it now - i guess i just never realized that it was a manual thing; always used windows, so i always took the automatic part for granted | 03:19 |
| demonspork | nighty night everyone. My expected signon time for tomorrow is 4:00PM Central time [amsg] | 03:19 |
| sebsebseb | Mandi: you can set stuff up straight away in manual install on the installer. or make in gparted first a nice graphical partition editor, and then finnish off in manual install, where you tell it what to use a partition for. you need to tell it to use one as / and the other /home and choose a file system Ext4 is default for 9.10, but if you do manual install you have to select one yourself | 03:19 |
| parker-fcnyu | Nautilus, good luck! i don't have any real tips for that | 03:19 |

| sebsebseb | Mandi: guided install that will go over your Windows install and use the whole hard disk if you tell it to use that | 03:20 |

| Roasted | jzacsh - sooo where do I go to adjust it? | 03:51 |
| jzacsh | Roasted: you could also try gnome-do (one of my favorite apps) - it has a dock-feature | 03:51 |
| CoolFox | should I just ask on ubuntu's forums? I mean, the option was there in Jaunty, wasn't it? | 03:51 |
| linuxguy2009 | SingAlong: Any luck? | 03:51 |
| snuffy47 | Billiard, It says status permission denied but that is on a download screen | 03:51 |
| SingAlong | linuxguy2009: i restarted networking after activating STA driver. but still wireless doesnt show up. | 03:52 |
| jzacsh | roasted, i don't remember, I haven't used it in a while. try right-clicking on a few parts of the dock and finding the "preference" window (something along those lines - i *do* remember adjusting that, though) | 03:52 |
| linuxguy2009 | SingAlong: Is your raouter broadcasting the SSID? Or did you add it manually? | 03:52 |
| Roasted | jzacsh - the problem with this program is it has too many damn options. Im so lost on where to go in the config menu | 03:52 |
| Roasted | jzacsh - got it! | 03:52 |
| zetheroo1 | I am curious ... anyone here using Ubuntu in a developing nation? | 03:53 |
| jzacsh | Roasted: awesome. now try out gnome-do tomorow :) | 03:53 |
| SingAlong | linuxguy2009: its an open network. it should be detected automatically | 03:53 |
| Roasted | jzacsh - already have gnome-do installed | 03:53 |
| Roasted | jzacsh - you use docky with gnome do? | 03:53 |
| zetheroo1 | or .. has anyone here ever used Ubuntu (or another Linux distro) in a developing nation? | 03:53 |
| linuxguy2009 | SingAlong: That depends on if the SSID is being broadcast or if it isnt it has tro be added manually. | 03:53 |
| SingAlong | linuxguy2009: should i try the b43 driver? | 03:53 |
| linuxguy2009 | SingAlong: No that isnt a driver | 03:53 |
| SingAlong | linuxguy2009: oh. | 03:54 |
| linuxguy2009 | SingAlong: try a reboot | 03:54 |

| zetheroo1 | I find it strange that even though Ubuntu and other Linux distro's have such an appeal to those in under-developed nations its almost useless for many because of a lack of broadband | 03:54 |
| jzacsh | roasted no, i got rid of docky (i didn't like it much). but gnome-do serves me will (and if you like the dock feature, then the dock-option in the theme-tab of the pref. window will satisfy you0 | 03:54 |
| snuffy47 | Billiard, If the directory in question is adminstrator/sambahome and adminstrator is part of sambahome then I should be good to go. I wondering if I can make deluge part of sambahome group | 03:54 |

| EasyTUX | losha: What do you prefer in your country ? ;P | 04:06 |
| jzacsh | cdw32: when I say "clean install", I mean you should make one last backup, clear out your entire hard drive (aka clean), install whatever OS you want on the new/fresh drive you've cleaned. then move your backed-up files into the new system. | 04:06 |

Some times it draws the route over the sea.. does anyone knows what it could be? It happens on different computers with 9.10 | 04:21 |
| jzacsh | cdw32: well, its up to you, if you feel absolutely confident that deleting everything on your harddrive will not result in data loss for you, then go for it. but if that backup you just made (on your harddrive) is your only one, you may want to make a few more in other places.

| jzacsh | cdw32 anyways, once you're confident that you can clear your harddrive. just boot your computer from the ubuntu installer, and you'll find yourself on a step in the installation that allows you to install over your existing installation (and in turn deleting everything on that installation). as far as creating the insatller thumb-drive: once you've downloaded the proper ubuntu*.iso file, you can open unetbootin, select the iso from the "brow | 04:24 |

| jzacsh | gdmsetup oh- great, i forget about the graphic windows sometimes. well, you want to remove it from startup -killing it right now won't help you | 04:37 |
| datz_ | Hi, when I load ubuntu, I get an error: The panel encountered a problem while loading"OAFIID:GNOME_FastUserSwitchApplet". I'd very much like to get this applet to work if anyone has any ideas. | 04:37 |
| anathematic | I just had an issue with my ubuntu server becoming unresponsive / no ssh or apache access. What logs should I check now it's been power cycled? | 04:37 |
| losha | nhasian: http://www.opensubscriber.com/message/ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com/9335289.html mentions the meaning of "Recommends" and refers to a policy that I don't seem able to find... | 04:37 |
| Billiard | datz_: try choosing remove from panel, then add it manually? | 04:37 |
| jbuncher | ALT-F4, if it works in cheese, it may be that you need to load a compatibility library. I had to do that with my Logitech cam on Intrepid and Jaunty in order to get it to work with Skype (worked with cheese though). Check out http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1133991.html for details. | 04:38 |
| jzacsh | cdw32: sounds like you just need to allow all repositories (i totally don't remember how to turn on all repositories in synaptic) | 04:38 |
| datz_ | Billiard: I didn't see it there, let me check again | 04:38 |
| === d6chung_ is now known as d6chung | ||
| sebsebseb | dAlfa89_: I nearly tried Wubi properly for 9.10, just to try, and I like how it warned about not getting full disk performance and such. As for why I coudn't boot up Wubi or the Debian thing that is similar it seems to of been, becasue Windows wasn't on the first partition on the hard disk. | 04:38 |
| Billiard | anathematic: /var/log/syslog maybe | 04:38 |
| ALT-F4 | jbuncher: thanks, I will certainly do that if it works when cheese is done installing. | 04:38 |
| cdw32 | jzacsh: yeah im not far off | 04:38 |
| anathematic | thanks Billiard I'll check it out now | 04:38 |
| anathematic | it's actually happened twice today after 200+ days uptime so something is weird | 04:39 |
| === Guest62708 is now known as meff | ||
| jzacsh | cdw32 try synaptic settings > repositories | 04:39 |
| datz_ | Billiard: I can't find it, in the add to panel selection | 04:39 |
| webbb82 | do you guys like openbox im trying to figure out if i wanna use it | 04:39 |
| cdw32 | jzacsh: there | 04:39 |
| Billiard | datz_: maybe you need to add it from the package manager | 04:39 |
| === meff is now known as Guest48405 | ||
| sebsebseb | dAlfa89_: Ext4 well in 9.04 oh yes big difference | 04:39 |
| datz_ | Billiard: I'll check, I've already added gnome applets | 04:40 |
| heyho | webbb82: openbox is great, use the closed-source version for the best | 04:40 |
| nhasian | losha, thanks that helps | 04:40 |
| ALT-F4 | jbuncher, it is working in cheese. I'm going to do that link you sent me now. I appreciate your help! Thanks :) | 04:40 |
| cdw32 | jzacsh: i have three tabs | 04:40 |
| sebsebseb | dAlfa89_: much faster boot up, shut down, and disk checking after 23 or so boots with Ext4 in 9.04, but since the kernel they have and such it's not perfectly stable there | 04:40 |
| webbb82 | heyho, where can i get that | 04:40 |
| bigcat | what is a "bit mask" | 04:40 |
| jzacsh | cdw32 okay, read the options, see if there's a way to turn on more resoures (repositories are just the places where synaptic package manager looks to find you softwre). I believe unetbootin is 3rd party software (not cannonical mantained), so you have to enable 3rd party software | 04:40 |
| sebsebseb | dAlfa89_: stable enough I should put rather htan perfectly stable | 04:40 |
| heyho | sun's website, download the .deb package webbb82 | 04:41 |
| dAlfa89_ | sebsebseb: It seems a common theme that many aspects of Karmic aren't stable ;D | 04:41 |
| jbuncher | ALT-F4, let me know if it works | 04:41 |
| YaST | guys wich IRC client would u consider the best for you guys? need opinions... bitchx ? irssi? xchat? | 04:41 |
| Billiard | bigcat: in what context? | 04:41 |
| heyho | irssi ftw YaST | 04:41 |
| webbb82 | heyho, isnt this it http://icculus.org/openbox/index.php/Openbox:Download | 04:41 |
| jzacsh | irssi | 04:41 |
| sebsebseb | dAlfa89_: stable enough to be relyed on for really important data and such, well I never got problems in 9.04 with Ext4, some other people did. As for 9.10 and Ext4 and 9.10 and Ext3, I first did my clean install of 9.10 with Ext3 to test that | 04:41 |
| ALT-F4 | YaST, I'm using xchat right now cuz it's pointed directly to this channel for me to get help, but I normally use Konversation, I think it's really good. | 04:41 |
| sebsebseb | dAlfa89_: I have been testing it when it was in development since alpha 4 | 04:41 |
| jbuncher | dAlfa89_, ymmv on that one | 04:41 |
| tishikawa1 | important data does not belong on an ubuntu system | 04:42 |
| sebsebseb | dAlfa89_: then I put it on with Ext4 for my proper install | 04:42 |
| greezmunkey | jbuncher, [s]nice Thanks, it seems to work - you're ok, you know that! | 04:42 |
| YaST | im on irssi atm | 04:42 |
| cdw32 | jzacsh: i ahve to physically put in the repository | 04:42 |
| Billiard | tishikawa1: why would you say that? | 04:42 |
| bigcat | thank you billiard,i think i have found out | 04:42 |
| YaST | since bitchx isnt in the repo's anymore in karmic | 04:42 |
| heyho | webbb82: my bad, i was thinking of virtualbox... what i use | 04:42 |
| hyperstream_ | SB X-FI Xtreme Audio CA0110-IBG <-- my sound card is listed in 'System > Pref > Sound' but it wont play back any audio of any kind | 04:42 |
| jbuncher | greezmunkey, lol thanks, glad it helped | 04:42 |
| hyperstream_ | it shows up in alsamixer too | 04:42 |
| sebsebseb | dAlfa89_: which I might be getting rid of not that long from now, if indeed it turns out that Mandriva 2010 is a great distro, well I had vm'd an RC and was quite impressed and the final for that one is meant to be pretty good | 04:42 |
| snuffy47 | Billiard, I could not to one subfolder write without sudo because of a space in the folder name going to test :) | 04:43 |
| heyho | can we configure the OSD notify in Karmic yet? | 04:43 |
| Billiard | lol so you were typing the folder name incorrectly? | 04:43 |
| sebsebseb | dAlfa89_: with 9.10 on the other hand I have not been impressed with it at all. overall I find 9.04 much better | 04:43 |
| dAlfa89_ | sebsebseb: Mandriva? ): also, 9.04 <3 | 04:43 |
| freaky[t] | webbb82, do u use openbox? why do u use it? | 04:43 |
| jzacsh | cdw32: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu | 04:44 |
| sebsebseb | dAlfa89_: yeah Mandriva 2010 is meant to be pretty good, but when I tested teh RC it seemed to lack Ext4 hmm | 04:44 |
| datz_ | Billiard: I can't find it. | 04:44 |
| napster | Hi all | 04:44 |
| === Guest48405 is now known as meff | ||
| heyho | i absolutely hate that notifications start at the top of the screen | 04:44 |
| YaST | what about best media player? that kinda plays all types of formats? Mplayer? :p | 04:44 |
| webbb82 | im not i was wondering if its worth testing | 04:44 |
| dAlfa89_ | sebsebseb: What are Mandriva's plus-sides? Any particular features for gamers and coders like me? | 04:44 |
| scunizi | YaST: mplayer, vlc | 04:44 |
| jbuncher | dAlfa89_, sebsebseb : just to throw in a differing opinion, I find Karmic to be *much* better than Jaunty, having fixed the intel issues I was having, as well as having *much* better versions of Kile and Okular for my LaTeX-ing needs. | 04:44 |
| === meff is now known as Guest73349 | ||
| jzacsh | yast vlc. but i believe most applicatiosn can play pretty much anything given plugins | 04:45 |
| sebsebseb | dAlfa89_: a RC I should say I think there were like two. anyway going back to Ext3 or Ext4 in 9.10 it doesn't seem to matter that much from my testing anyway, they both booted up about the same Ext3 or Ext4. Well the disk check will be slower in Ext3 sure the one after the 23 or so boots. | 04:45 |
| greezmunkey | jbuncher, now I have the decompression of Google Earth, and X fighting for the CPU equally! | 04:45 |
| Madpilot | YaST, install the various plugins in Multiverse, and totem (the default player) will run nearly anything... | 04:45 |
| paragonc | linuxguy2009: what te NVIDIA driver is looking for is the linux source headers | 04:45 |
| Billiard | datz_: i think its called fast-user-switch-applet | 04:45 |
| sebsebseb | dAlfa89_: ,but I didn't test that with Ext3 with 9.10 | 04:45 |
| freaky[t] | webbb82, ah ok ;D | 04:45 |
| cdw32 | jzacsh: yeah my window doesnt look like that | 04:45 |
| paragonc | sudo apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.27-15-server | 04:45 |
| jbuncher | greezmunkey, lol ok then. Good luck with that? | 04:45 |
| sebsebseb | dAlfa89_: well you can run pretty much every program you can in Ubuntu with other distros such as Mandriva, Fedora, Debian, etc | 04:46 |
| greezmunkey | jbuncher, It ran my cpu up to about 85% which is ok, I just want that process to finish. | 04:46 |
| datz_ | Billiard: thanks, I'm not sure how to get it. | 04:46 |
| === heyho is now known as assin9 | ||
| sebsebseb | dAlfa89_: Mandriva has some pretty interesting stuff by default, it's control centre and such for example | 04:46 |
| Billiard | datz_: you have that package installed in the package manager? | 04:47 |
| nomopofomo | has anyone figured out how to get the acrobat pdf plugin to work with google chrome? | 04:47 |
| YaST | ok.. another question.. my laptop is a core 2 due t8100 (2.10GHz) wich is the best kernel for it? I got the generic one... | 04:47 |
| dAlfa89_ | sebsebseb: Control centre? Sounds funky.. | 04:47 |
| wolf23 | helpers, can anyone tell me about a good emulator for nintendo .nes games on karmic ? thanx | 04:47 |
| datz_ | Billiard: I did a search in the package manager, that string didn't turn anything up | 04:47 |
| sebsebseb | dAlfa89_: I haven't tried it out properly yet, but I think it's time soon | 04:47 |
| Billiard | datz_: i think it doesnt like minuses | 04:47 |
| jzacsh | cdw32 you can also try here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories | 04:47 |
| Billiard | try just the words datz_ fast user switch applet | 04:48 |
| sebsebseb | dAlfa89_: Control Center even, but I don't want to spell centre the American way | 04:48 |
| snuffy47 | Billiard, Changed a subfolder from Torrent Downloading to TorrentDownload and it works LOL | 04:48 |
| sebsebseb | dAlfa89_: oh quite a few other distros out there as well that are worth trying in a vm at least | 04:48 |
| Billiard | snuffy47: i see, you were refering to the directory name incorrectly lol | 04:48 |
| jzacsh | cdw32: honestly you'll be better off just googling a little more on your own and coming here when you're stuck on something you've read. I mean at this point, I'm just googling for you. and finding these pages, but its not as valuable as you doing the searching, because you're actually sitting right at your 8.04 system and know what to look for | 04:48 |

| === Guest73349 is now known as meff | ||

| cdw32 | jzacsh: i will take that advice...i am sorry | 04:49 |
| scunizi | !vnc | yangxiao | 04:49 |
| ubottu | yangxiao: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 04:49 |
| dAlfa89_ | sebsebseb: I see, I've tried Debian and Ubuntu, and have investigated Mandriva a couple of times, but Ubuntu is the only one friendly enough for me, I don't know enough to keep the others in check ): | 04:49 |

| cdw32 | jzacsh: i am trying to learn ubuntu, but it is difficult for me to grasp at times | 04:50 |
| jbuncher | sebsebseb, yeah, but I hate going outside the repos for things, seems to defeat the purpose unless you limit it to a very small number of apps (something like skype and such). They could have been, and I mucked with the xorg and got them *pretty* much resolved, but it still wasn't good enough. The main thing that killed Jaunty for me was the kile/okular situation and the lack of kde3 libs. | 04:50 |

| ALT-F4 | jbuncher, it's working with Camorama now. Could you recommend a good program that I can use to chat with Window users that are using yahoo instant messenger? | 04:52 |
| Blue1 | akyapt: totem should be able to play that - is that what you are using? | 04:52 |
| akyapt | jzacsh:will movie player not work? | 04:52 |
| sebsebseb | jbuncher: latex stuff I don't really know about that, but by the way there's a Kubuntu KDE 3 Remix CD for jaunty karmic and I think maybe 8.10 as well, plus a ppa that can be installed | 04:52 |
| akyapt | blue1 :i tried but its not opening | 04:52 |
| jzacsh | akyapt it may with plugins (or natively) - but I've never really given it a chance. | 04:52 |

| jbuncher | sebsebseb, I'm mostly a gnome user, but kile is the one kde program I use heavily, so I didn't want an entire remix or ppa for one program and such. At any rate, everything is working well for me in Karmic, so all is good :) | 04:53 |
| Sincere | what is ppa? | 04:53 |
| sebsebseb | !kde3 | jbuncher | 04:53 |
| ubottu | jbuncher: Kubuntu 8.04 ships with KDE3 and full support. Jaunty does not include KDE3 but a remix install CD can be obtained at https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/Kde3/Jaunty . This is not officially supported. Support, instructions and ways to contribute can be found on the wiki page | 04:53 |

| dAlfa89_ | Back to 9.04 I come <3 | 04:54 |
| datz_ | Billiard: should the applet be added after installing ubuntu-desktop? | 04:54 |
| jbuncher | ALT-F4, glad to hear the camera is working. For Yahoo Messenger with camera, I was aable to do this on older ubuntu installations using the kde program kopete, and it worked fairly well. You might want to give that a try. | 04:54 |
| datz_ | Billiard: I still don't see it | 04:54 |
| sebsebseb | jbuncher: same here mainly a Gnome user, but I run some KDE apps in it here and there, well Konversation has been my IRC client for months now, I guess more like two years or so | 04:54 |
| === Guest48358 is now known as meff | ||

| aperson | I can't kill a process! kill -9 won't nuke it, any have any other ideas? | 04:54 |
| ALT-F4 | jbuncher, thanks a lot, your assistance has been invaluable. I really appreciate it, and I'll give kopete a try. | 04:54 |

| === meff is now known as Guest95281 | ||
| td123 | aperson: kill -9 will work | 04:54 |
| sebsebseb | Sincere: ppa's are basically mini repos for later versions of programs, but they are not fullly supported by Ubuntu, so sometimes they might brake something | 04:54 |
| Billiard | datz_: i would think it should, but not sure, some people say its a very recent bug that its not in the repos correctly | 04:55 |
| akyapt | blue1:ill try...thanks | 04:55 |
| jbuncher | sebsebseb, I just use xchat. I'm trying to think of other kde apps I use, and I think kopete is the only one, in the rare cases I need to use a webcam with someone on yahoo. | 04:55 |
| aperson | td123, no, it doesn't | 04:55 |
| datz_ | Billiard: ok | 04:55 |
| td123 | aperson: is it a zombie? | 04:55 |
| Billiard | Kris07: wont as it? | 04:55 |
| Blue1 | akyapt: i know that installs gstreamer but i think the wmv support as well I don't honestly remember... | 04:55 |
| aperson | td123, yes | 04:55 |
| td123 | aperson: well then you can't kill it | 04:55 |
| kermit | so, if i click this 'upgrade' button, the world isnt going to end? | 04:55 |
| datz_ | Billiard: it worked right after install, but I installed a bunch of software and it stopped working | 04:55 |
| td123 | aperson: a zombie process won't take any memory up | 04:55 |
| sebsebseb | jbuncher: that annoys me to some extent how most Ubuntu users use Xchat, when there are other rather good IRC clients as well such as Konversation or IRSSI even after configuring | 04:55 |
| Billiard | Kris07: soryy, wont as in? it errors or goes somewher else or what? | 04:56 |
| aperson | td123, it's holding my cd drive shut | 04:56 |
| aperson | td123, it's vlc that won't die | 04:56 |
| akyapt | blue1:i already have ubuntu -restricted-extras | 04:56 |
| Billiard | datz_: idk, maybe it will be fixed after some updates | 04:56 |
| jbuncher | sebsebseb, why does it annoy you? I find xchat to be pretty good. I like it better than gnome-xchat or xchat-gnome or whatever it's called. | 04:56 |
| jzacsh | aperson: try using a paper-clip to open the cd drive (the tiny little hole in the drive). actually, mayb ethat's a bad idea - if the drive's spinning | 04:56 |
| kermit | whats the current kernel version with karmic? | 04:56 |
| sebsebseb | jbuncher: most Ubuntu users that use the IRC I should say. well yeah it's meant to be better than that one, but try some other clients :) | 04:57 |
| aperson | jzacsh, it is spinning | 04:57 |
| aperson | activity light is on too | 04:57 |
| jzacsh | aperson: was someone just suggesting you kill vlc? | 04:57 |

| sebsebseb | jbuncher: oh yeah we are off topic really, but no o p s or whatever telling us off | 04:57 |

| jbuncher | sebsebseb, I'll keep that in mind. I don't really want to run IRC in a terminal, but that could definitely come in handy if X gets hosed. I'll be staying away from Konversation, if only because I can't stand the "K" naming in KDE. | 05:01 |
| aperson | jzacsh, I'm pretty sure I know how to work kill :) | 05:01 |
| anarcap | hello? | 05:01 |
| sebsebseb | jbuncher: and your not exactly a newbie if you use IRSSI, and I like to joke about xchat sometimes, because most of the new Ubuntu users that use IRC use it as well as a lot of more experienced ones. anyway as a joke I like to sometimes call it noobchat for this very reason | 05:01 |
| scunizi | sjd: do you need dual boot for games or something else.. could you get away with a vm of windows? | 05:01 |
| Arsin | I can't open my EXT3 partition on my flash drive, I get this http://www.ubuntu.pastebin.com/d4702c1d7 | 05:01 |
| aperson | I just happen to have a process that is keeping my cd drive shut as vlc tried to read a bad cd | 05:01 |
| jbuncher | sjd, generally, you should install windows first. Since you didn't, install windows to the partition you want, then reinstall the bootloader from a jaunty cd | 05:01 |
| greezmunkey | aperson, usually a zombie is a child process in a wait state, or some such thing. Once the process that spawned is stops, the zombie will "die" as well. I always have one on my system. I tracked it down to a process that gets started on boot. It's never been a problem. | 05:02 |
| sjd | jbuncher: not for games. i dont use win but my dad. | 05:02 |
| aperson | greezmunkey, there is no parent to this | 05:02 |
| sjd | jbuncher: but karmic uses grub 2 right? | 05:02 |
| greezmunkey | aperson, what is it? | 05:02 |
| aperson | greezmunkey, vlc is tried to read a bad cd and is stuck reading it | 05:02 |
| === bintang is now known as co_anarkis | ||
| jbuncher | sjd, fresh installs of karmic use grub 2, if you upgraded from jaunty it's still using grub-legacy, which is why I recommended using a jaunty cd to reinstall the bootloader. | 05:03 |
| greezmunkey | aperson, does it interfere with your use of the system? | 05:03 |
| pvvni | What's /dev/console used for? | 05:03 |
| anarcap | My xorg.conf is empty. Is that normal? I'm using the generic/default drivers. | 05:03 |
| sjd | jbuncher: okay. let me give a try. how do I install the grub from the Jaunty live? | 05:03 |
| jbuncher | Arsin, try running an fsck on the flash drive when it is unmounted | 05:03 |

| aperson | greezmunkey, yeppers, is there a way to force eject a drive? I man'd eject and it doesn't seem to have the capability | 05:05 |
| anarcap | I'm just trying to figure out why I'm getting tearing in flash (hulu, youtube, etc) playback, and in Compiz effects. (DVD/Video plays fine) | 05:05 |
| ZaNeIuM | i got win7 installed then i instaled ubuntu and everythng works nice. not i want to clone the drive to a smaller one and i am using ghost to clone the whole drive. it is resizing my win7 patrion smaller but its all good as it was only using 20% of it. | 05:05 |
| Ascavasaion | I still cannot access shares on my Linux box from the windows box. Network neighbourhood sees the computer but when I try to access the computer it says "The computer or sharename could not be found". When I click Start>Run>computername it says the "network name cannot be found", the same goes for if I use Start>Run> \\192.168.0.2\ | 05:05 |
| anarcap | jzacsh - I've been running ubuntu 9.10 for like a week. I may have made some video changes...let me check | 05:05 |
| ZaNeIuM | after the cone will i need to run the grub boot loader manualy or should it just work? | 05:05 |
| jzacsh | aperson try the paper-clip in the pin-hole | 05:05 |
| aperson | jzacsh, the drive *is spinning* but I guess I can try since the disc is bad anyways | 05:06 |
| jbuncher | sjd, I'm having trouble finding the exact link, but google for "reinstall grub after installing windows" or something similar. Just make sure you get one that's grub 1, and not grub 2. | 05:06 |
| aperson | jzacsh, hah, success! | 05:06 |
| sjd | jbuncher: okay. | 05:06 |
| jzacsh | aperson now see if you can kill vlc (just curious) | 05:07 |
| aperson | jzacsh, no dice | 05:07 |
| jzacsh | aperson, is it indeed a bad disc? | 05:07 |
| greezmunkey | aperson, so when you press the button nothing happens? | 05:07 |
| aperson | greezmunkey, nope, but a small screwdriver did the trick :) | 05:07 |
| sjd | jbuncher: hope I got it http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/reinstall-ubuntu-grub-bootloader-after-windows-wipes-it-out/ | 05:07 |
| aperson | jzacsh, I'd say after I just broke it in half it is | 05:07 |
| jzacsh | aperson, sounds like you got revenge. congratulations | 05:08 |
| aperson | thanks greezmunkey and jzacsh | 05:08 |
| Ascavasaion | greezmunkey: The inferior Samba is still troubling me. | 05:08 |
| jbuncher | sjd, yeah, I think that will work. You'll have to follow the instructions about adding the windows entry that they give there, as well. | 05:09 |
| greezmunkey | aperson, you can try this if it happens again: umount -f /dev/"yourCDdrive" | 05:09 |

| aperson | greezmunkey, thanks, after ejecting both of my drives, nautilus still has both them listed as having discs in them | 05:09 |
| === meff is now known as Guest33826 | ||

| sjd | jbuncher: different drives. I already had windows. since it sucks, I have to re install. :) | 05:10 |
| Ascavasaion | Nautilus: Nothing... made a typo and was correcting it. | 05:11 |
| sjd | jbuncher: but dad is trying hard to switch to GNU/Linux, but takes time! | 05:11 |
| jbuncher | sjd, can you be more specific about how you have the drives partitioned and which one boots by default and such? | 05:11 |
| dno | Can some one tell me why I don't have permission to this even with sudo? | 05:11 |
| Nautilus | Ascavasaion: just funning | 05:11 |

| aperson | now to figure out why blank discs don't have eject in the context menu! | 05:13 |
| bastid_raZor | lstarnes: correct. my mistake | 05:13 |
| aperson | and why the eject button next to them in nautilus does nothing | 05:13 |
| Nautilus | Ascavasaion: good one | 05:13 |
| sjd | jbuncher: im not sure, How can I confirm that? | 05:13 |
| jbuncher | sjd, so grub is installed to the MBR of the windows drive, and when you boot ubuntu the "ubuntu" drive shows up as /dev/sdb or /dev/hdb? | 05:13 |
| jonz | dno sorry, i don't have experience w/nas's. | 05:14 |
| === Guest33826 is now known as meff | ||
| Ascavasaion | jbuncher: I think hd = ATA, and sd=SATA... not sure though. | 05:14 |
| sjd | jbuncher: exactly, sdb2 | 05:14 |
| anarcap | jzacsh :: I used the guide here (http://guvnr.com/pc/ubuntu-top-software/) in order to configure a lot of packages, etc. after I installed ubuntu 9.10. I installed the Flash 10 driver from Adobe. | 05:14 |
| === meff is now known as Guest31612 | ||
| Nautilus | so, how do I see my other ext3 drive? I dont recall mounting it yesterday when I got it to go, but maybe something I clicked on did that for me. | 05:14 |
| gorlak_ | anyone found a workaround to the issue of 9.10 5+minute boot time and sometimes failure of the video (being dumped at the cmd prompt) | 05:14 |
| jbuncher | Ascavasaion, depends on the version of ubuntu he's running, that distinction was done away with so that everything is /dev/sdx in later versions. | 05:15 |
| dAlfa89_ | Okay ladies, Wubi is still giving me hassle on boot, same thing as with Karmic: Background shows; no GDM; No dropping to command-line ): | 05:15 |
| dAlfa89_ | 9.04 and 9.10 go through the same thing | 05:15 |
| Ascavasaion | jbuncher: Okies, thanks. | 05:15 |
| dno | jonz: Thanks | 05:15 |
| Madpilot | Ascavasaion, the hd/sd thing went away at least a couple of Ubuntu releases ago | 05:15 |
| jbuncher | sjd, ok then. I was curious if windows was on the "first" drive as the motherboard saw it, as windows gets angry when it's not, and you may have had to mess around with the "map" commands in the windows grub entry. That doesn't seem to be the case though. | 05:16 |

| scottyg | hey what are some cool new apps for ubuntu? | 05:17 |
| jbuncher | Ascavasaion, and I think that happened at the kernel level, so it's not ubuntu-specific. I think it happened after hardy, though I'm not sure. | 05:17 |
| jbuncher | Ascavasaion, there was a whole new driver stack at one point. | 05:17 |
| jordanl | i came back to my computer and it seems like it's frozen (the screen is black, the keyboard/mouse unresponsive, etc.) but I can ssh into it from another computer. does anyone know if i can recover my session? (i'm ssh'd into it remotely right now) | 05:18 |
| sjd | jbuncher: now lets put it this way: I have windows on the first hdd. called sda1. ubuntu on hdd2 sdb2. grub in sda1. now Im going to format sda1 and reinstall windows. then boot up from a jaunty live and use sudo grub to fix grub. okay? | 05:18 |
| jbuncher | sjd, that sounds good. Though I don't think you have grub installed to /dev/sda1, but rather the Master Boot Record (MBR) of /dev/sda . It *is* possible to install grub to a partition, though that's not normally done unless you're chainloading and such from another bootloader. | 05:19 |

| jga23 | anybody know why a mount (via smbmount in terminal) wouldn't show any files/directories using ls, but I can cd into directories? | 05:22 |
| yast | or compiz only works with gnome and kde? | 05:22 |
| anarcap | napster :: I tried #crunchbang for a few days. I really liked it. | 05:22 |
| napster | anarcap: And what is openbox...? | 05:23 |
| napster | in crunchbang | 05:23 |
| jbuncher | yast, that's an interesting question. Is fluxbox actually a "desktop environment" like GNOME or KDE, or is it just a window manager with a few extra pieces? | 05:23 |
| CarlFK | jga23: directory rights - I think you have exec but not read. | 05:23 |
| yast | jbuncher: itts like gnome and kde | 05:23 |
| yast | alot neater tho | 05:24 |
| ZykoticK9 | yast, no fluxbox+compiz i'm affraid - they are both the same thing Windows Managers | 05:24 |
| === Guest13414 is now known as meff | ||
| yast | that sucks | 05:24 |
| CarlFK | can someone pastebin a grub.cfg that has a windows boot? | 05:24 |
| yast | fluxbox+compiz would rock | 05:24 |
| === meff is now known as Guest60574 | ||
| yast | what about fluxbox+xgl ? | 05:24 |
| yast | its nearly the same ting tho | 05:25 |
| jga23 | CarlFK: how can I change the directory rights? | 05:25 |
| yast | thing* | 05:25 |
| jbuncher | yast, I was asking technically. My first intro to linux was fluxbox+debian, so I'm well acquainted with it, but I always thought fluxbox was just a window manager (like metacity), so that means compiz would have to replace fluxbox, which kills the point. | 05:25 |
| lstarnes | CarlFK: you shouldn't be editing grub.cfg directly. There is a file in /etc/grub.d for custom entries | 05:25 |
| sontek | Is there a Rosetta Stone like app for Ubuntu? | 05:25 |
| _ged | hi, does anyone managed to install a pgAgent on ubuntu here? (it's a job scheduler for postgres) | 05:26 |
| CarlFK | lstarnes: k - can someone pastebin that? guessing /etc/grub.d/40_custom | 05:26 |
| yast | jbuncher: Im quite a newbie in linux... lol so I would not know .. I know some basics that I've learned a few years ago.. but then I stopped using linux for like 6 or 7 years | 05:26 |

| anarcap | napster :: ty m8 (?) | 05:27 |
| chowells_ | I'm running xubuntu, clean install, and the window manager (xfce) seems to not be running. what might cause this, where might I find a log file saying that's going on? | 05:27 |
| jbuncher | yast, ok, was just wondering. But yeah, I don't think compiz is possible on fluxbox/openbox/blackbox/etc. There might be some other way of getting compositing though. | 05:27 |
| sebsebseb | lstarnes: since the config file says not to edit | 05:27 |
| jbuncher | chowells_, can you elaborate? | 05:27 |
| lstarnes | sebsebseb: it even gets overwritten when grub is updated | 05:27 |
| CarlFK | jga23: it is either rights of the filesystem being shared over samba, or samba is imposing more restrictions - neither can over ride the other, so its hard to know what needs to be changed | 05:27 |
| linuxghost | sebsebseb hi | 05:28 |
| lstarnes | sebsebseb: but /etc/grub/40_custom isn't overwritten | 05:28 |

| lstarnes | erikk71usa: 9.10 will likely be more stable by then | 05:40 |
| Nautilus | jbuncher: yes it's there now, I did a reboot and wiggled power wire, inspected etc | 05:41 |

| ha1331 | Nautilus: you can unmount it later using either sudo umount /dev/sda1 or sudo umount /myoldhd | 05:48 |
| kermit | thats 50% bigger in juts 6 months | 05:48 |
| Ascavasaion | greezmunkey: I am back. | 05:48 |
| jbuncher | Nautilus, you need to create the folder first before trying to mount a drive to it. | 05:48 |
| aperson | jonz, I use grsync to figure out what to tell rsync, and then I use that in a script | 05:48 |
| ha1331 | Nautilus: didi you create the directory first? | 05:48 |

| Brent | yeah | 05:50 |
| Brent | nvidia | 05:50 |
| jbuncher | kermit, well, a good chunk of that is just the fact that you need to download every single package. So in order for the upgrade to work, you need enough space to download *everything*, and then enough space to unpack all of that while overwriting the old stuff. | 05:50 |

| Ascavasaion | greezmunkey: Samba is already newest version. Those other aplications were unecessary and I used apt-get autoremove | 05:52 |
| jbuncher | kermit, you'll get most of it back if you clean the packages out of /var/cache/apt/archive/ with "sudo apt-get clean" | 05:52 |

| Billiard | ZaNeIuM: i think its already on the live cd by default | 06:15 |
| d9500 | ZaNeIuM, it should already be on live cd. system > administration > partition editor | 06:15 |
| jbuncher | ZaNeIuM, open a terminal, apt-get install gparted, unless it's already in system-> administration -> partition editor | 06:16 |

| ubottu | mikey: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 06:22 |
| Billiard | billybigrigger: run it in a terminal, it does absolutely nothing? | 06:22 |
| lstarnes | Grunge: are you using a router? | 06:22 |
| billybigrigger | Billiard, when i run gksu -i 'command' it pops open the gksu dialog window with a run dialog | 06:23 |
| Grunge | of course | 06:23 |
| lstarnes | Grunge: that explains it | 06:23 |
| Grunge | lol seriously? | 06:23 |
| lstarnes | Grunge: DCC is tricky to use behind a router or anything else that uses NAT | 06:23 |
| billybigrigger | Billiard, and it still complains about the -c option | 06:23 |
| Billiard | billybigrigger: ok gksu -i is different from sudo -i i guess | 06:23 |
| billybigrigger | which is clearly after the stunnel command | 06:23 |
| billybigrigger | i don't get it | 06:23 |
| Grunge | windows didn't give me these problems before | 06:23 |
| Billiard | show me the command you used | 06:23 |
| Billiard | with -i | 06:23 |
| lstarnes | Grunge: you could try setting the client to use specific ports for DCC and open those ports in your router | 06:24 |
| billybigrigger | Usage: gksu [-u <user>] [options] <command> | 06:24 |
| jasonmchristos | does anyone use empathy, they tout that it is better than pidgin because it can do audio and video but the option is always greyed out for me | 06:24 |
| lstarnes | Grunge: if the sender is using a router, that may also cause issues | 06:24 |
| billybigrigger | do i HAVE to specify a user? | 06:24 |
| Grunge | all my ports are open | 06:24 |
| lstarnes | billybigrigger: no | 06:24 |
| Billiard | billybigrigger: no | 06:24 |
| billybigrigger | didn't think so | 06:24 |
| === Guest93343 is now known as meff | ||
| lstarnes | billybigrigger: it's in square brackets, so it is optional | 06:24 |
| Nautilus | the []'s mean optional | 06:24 |

| dno | Billiard: udo mount -t cifs //192.168.1.184/wbackup /media/wnetgear -o username=xxx,password=xxxx,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 | 06:24 |

| billybigrigger | gksu -i stunnel -c -d nntp -r ssl-us.astraweb.com:443 && echo success || echo fail | 06:24 |

| codeyman | anybody knows how to get logitech wireless dj work on ubuntu? | 06:25 |
| dno | Billiard:mount error(13): Permission denied | 06:25 |
| lstarnes | Grunge: try using a different client, like xchat | 06:25 |
| dno | Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs) | 06:25 |
| billybigrigger | success is printed on the screen, but i still get the garbage text complaining about -c | 06:25 |
| Billiard | dno: use sudo mount | 06:25 |
| dno | Billiard:sorry I just didn't paste it. | 06:25 |
| billybigrigger | Billiard, putting the command in single quotes opens the gksu run dialog window | 06:25 |
| Grunge | i am using xchat | 06:25 |
| Billiard | billybigrigger: show me what you typed | 06:26 |
| billybigrigger | gksu -i 'stunnel -c -d nntp -r ssl-us.astraweb.com:443 && echo success || echo fail' | 06:26 |
| Grunge | i can send files but i can't recive them | 06:26 |
| Billiard | dno: shouldnt matter but try mount.cifs instead of mount -t cifs | 06:26 |
| billybigrigger | so if the stunnel command exits with status 0 (clean exit) then it prints success, else it will print fail | 06:26 |

| lstarnes | mikey: in that case, you might want to look for a windows recovery disk or bug a new copy of windows | 06:45 |
| Madpilot | mikey, you managed to install it without knowing what it was? | 06:45 |
| mikey | my buuddy gave me the disk and now i am puzzled | 06:45 |
| Billiard | Grunge: one sec ill see exactly where it is | 06:45 |

| superpaco | how can I install the b43-fwcutter?? | 06:46 |
| mikey | he said it would fix my wireless internet problems and guess what it didnt | 06:46 |
| ardchoille | schwezzy: What's the issue? | 06:46 |
| superpaco | is it via apt-get?? | 06:46 |
| superpaco | lstarnet u there?? | 06:46 |
| lstarnes | superpaco: try sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter in a terminal | 06:46 |
| Billiard | Grunge: open package manager choose Settings>Repositories check (multiverse) and (universe) ok, then hit reload | 06:46 |
| superpaco | thanks :D | 06:46 |
| schwezzy | Lust: ardchoille: when I tried the command 'sudo -u gdm gnome-control-center' it gave the error "could not open display" so I'm looking at that now | 06:47 |
| i_is_broke | uccadmin, have you tried ctrl+alt+delete? | 06:47 |
| mikey | so how is being a troll and needing help hhave anything in common | 06:47 |
| lstarnes | mikey: just ignore that person who called you that | 06:47 |
| superpaco | it worked thanks a lot lstarner | 06:47 |

| superpaco | lstarnes you are the best :D | 06:48 |
| ardchoille | schwezzy: are you trying to run gnome-control-center as root? | 06:48 |
| i_is_broke | uccadmin, sorry didnt catch that part... | 06:48 |
| Wiltolrich | what is the problem? | 06:48 |
| uccadmin | In Jaunty, I accomplished this by having a dummy account that simply executed a shutdown command when logged into | 06:48 |
| uccadmin | And I had the system auto-login to that account after x minutes | 06:48 |
| schwezzy | ardchoille: no, and I'm entering said command at the tty prompt, in attempt to modify the login screen | 06:48 |
| ralchev | guys here is a screenshot of my problem http://img196.imageshack.us/img196/1548/screenshotsoundpreferen.png | 06:48 |

| Wiltolrich | Does someone have a wireless problem | 06:49 |
| uccadmin | However, with the new GDM, I don't want to do this because I don't want the user to be displayed/usable by everyone who uses the system | 06:49 |
| ardchoille | schwezzy: why are you entering this command into a tty? does xorg not work? | 06:49 |

| coolchris | hello | 06:50 |
| coolchris | i want to be a hacker and i have heard that linux is a good hacking os so i just installed ubuntu | 06:51 |
| coolchris | does anyone know any good hacking commands? | 06:51 |
| schwezzy | ardchoille: the howto I'm reading instructs me to do so, http://www.ubuntumini.com/2009/09/hack-karmics-gdm-login-screen.html | 06:51 |
| ralchev | yesterday I installed ubuntu 9.10, but I have no sound :S and there are no hardware devices in System > Preferences > Sound ... any ideas? | 06:51 |

| majuk | coolchris! ROFL | 06:51 |
| al_ | anyone here any good with testdisk? | 06:51 |
| Meowpup | o i c i get it | 06:51 |
| underdog7 | does anybody know of a website that allows you to post text (e.g. debugging text) and then refer people to an address so they can see what you've posted -- i used to have one of these sites, but i forget it now | 06:51 |
| Lust | coolchris, LMFAO | 06:51 |
| Jordan_U | !pastebin | underdog7 | 06:51 |
| ubottu | underdog7: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic | 06:52 |
| schwezzy | underdog7: pastebin.com | 06:52 |
| ralchev | underdog7, pastebin | 06:52 |
| rayner | xangua: Yes I do, Also my friend can play the game on his account properly on my computer | 06:52 |
| Grunge | Billiard, it doesn't show that option | 06:52 |
| schwezzy | heh | 06:52 |
| majuk | underdog7! wgetpaste | 06:52 |
| Grunge | Repositories check (multiverse) and (universe) | 06:52 |
| coolchris | what is so funny? i heard that linux is better then windows for hacking peoples boxes? | 06:52 |
| darthanubis | I had dual screen going and the second screen was a lcd tv to watch a movie with totem. After the movie stopped, my GF just disconnected the laptop from the screen. Now I can't connect them both without X just going black and frozen. Is there a state eg. foo.pid somewhere that was saved dirty that I need to remove to get the dual screen functional once again? | 06:52 |
| Billiard | Grunge: please be more specific! which option | 06:52 |
| lstarnes | coolchris: you mean cracking, not hacking | 06:52 |
| underdog7 | schwezzy: u da man! | 06:52 |
| Billiard | Grunge: did you open settings repositories ? | 06:52 |
| coolchris | well if u want to call it cracking | 06:52 |
| ralchev | so nobody knows whats the problem with the sound on ubuntu 9.10 ? | 06:52 |
| majuk | underdog7! You run a command and pipe the output to wgetpaste. It returns an internet address with the text information that you can give to others. | 06:52 |
| coolchris | so i heard linux is very good for cracking is it true? anyone know any good commands to get started? | 06:53 |
| ardchoille | schwezzy: That tutorial is confusing, stop what you are doing and tell me what you are trying to accomplish | 06:53 |
| zaoul1 | coolchris: srsly? | 06:53 |
| ardchoille | schwezzy: Are you trying to edit the login screen via the login screen manager? | 06:53 |
| Grunge | yes i did Billiard | 06:53 |
| schwezzy | ardchoille: what I'm trying to accomplish is to remove the username from the login screen so a person will have to type in the username/pass | 06:53 |
| Billiard | Grunge: ok on the ubuntu software tab | 06:53 |
| underdog7 | majuk: cool, thanks man! | 06:53 |
| coolchris | yea i need to know some good commmands i heard like ping could be good with the right options? | 06:54 |
| Billiard | Grunge: check all the boxes | 06:54 |
| Billiard | Grunge: but not the cd unless you want it | 06:54 |

| Billiard | Grunge: ok hit ok | 06:54 |
| Billiard | Grunge: hit reload in the top left | 06:54 |
| Grunge | did | 06:54 |
| ardchoille | schwezzy: Good luck, I tried to fix that but couldn't. If you figure out how to fix it, please let me know. | 06:54 |
| Billiard | Grunge: search for "flashplugin" | 06:54 |
| === meff is now known as Guest4498 | ||
| majuk | underdog7! My bad, the package is called pastebinit in aptitude | 06:55 |
| uccadmin | schwezzy: I assume you are looking to remove just a single username, yes? If you can make it work, that would also solve my problem | 06:55 |
| majuk | underdog7! I've used Gentoo too long. | 06:55 |

| Jordan_U | quizme: Try archive.ubuntu.com instead of archive.canonical.com | 06:57 |
| superpaco | I got that | 06:57 |
| Madpilot | ubottu, grub | cutout | 06:57 |
| ubottu | cutout: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. | 06:57 |

| superpaco | sorry | 06:57 |
| ardchoille | schwezzy: I think I found something | 06:57 |
| quizme | jordan_u thanks, how do i change that ? /etc/apt/sources.list ? | 06:57 |
| zaoul1 | coolchris: that's like asking the cops where to get the best herb | 06:57 |
| ardchoille | schwezzy: Wanna try it? | 06:57 |
| Grunge | Billiard, zero on the results on it | 06:58 |
| cutout | thanks | 06:58 |
| Grunge | Billiard, nothing for flash-plug or flashplugin | 06:58 |
| Jordan_U | quizme: That or System > Administration > Software Sources | 06:58 |
| Madpilot | zaoul1, the answer to 'best herb' is usually 'in our evidence locker' - but I'm being off-topic... :) | 06:58 |
| schwezzy | ardchoille: sure, and did you see uccadmin's suggestion? | 06:58 |
| superpaco | lstarnes, I did what the page said | 06:58 |
| coolchris | zaoull: the cops can't find me cause the net is anonymous | 06:58 |
| superpaco | now how do I know if it worked?? | 06:58 |
| zaoul1 | HAHAHAHHA | 06:58 |
| uccadmin | schwezzy: As far as I know, that command will allow you to remove the user list. Doesn't quite accomplish what I want, since I'd like particular users to be excluded, which you can't do anymore | 06:58 |
| ardchoille | schwezzy: log back into your normal gnome desktop and open a terminal | 06:58 |
| zaoul1 | oh man | 06:58 |
| zaoul1 | that was the best | 06:59 |
| uccadmin | schwezzy: Though, i do assume you are on Karmic | 06:59 |

| coolchris | lol u sux im not in jersey | 07:01 |
| ardchoille | schwezzy: ah, yeah, that terminal command would have worked as well. Make that entry true, close the editor, log out and see what happens | 07:02 |
| schwezzy | uccadmin: yep | 07:02 |
| lstarnes | superpaco: the module name might be something different though | 07:02 |

| superpaco | thanks | 07:02 |

| Billiard | Grunge: which? installing flashplugin-nonfree should uninstall other flashplugins | 07:02 |

| superpaco | insm0d, are have you run aircrack before on that wireless? | 07:10 |
| O__o | whats ubuntu moblin remix? | 07:11 |
| O__o | is it out yet? | 07:11 |
| insm0d | aneesh1, dd will copy the entire hard drive contents bit for bit to a file. I think the syntax is: dd if=/dev/[harddrive] of=/path/to/file. To install the image back on the disk, reverse the if and of. You can do this from any linux distro that can detect your hard drives. Use a livecd like knoppix or even the ubuntu cd. | 07:11 |
| quizme | lstarnes i got an even better error now. http://pastie.org/700646 | 07:11 |
| xangua | ubuntu with moblin interface, no :S | 07:11 |
| Aciid | if I have "apt-get remove x y z" and z is not found but x and y are, will x and y remove. or does the removal process abort? | 07:12 |
| linuxghost | people when u got some problem believe on you...be patient you will solve it...ive being bored with upgrade to 9.10 ubuntu bug, now i am happy, solved it | 07:12 |
| narretgrez | i'm using karmic koala, and my mouse and keyboard stopped working completely at boot up | 07:12 |
| lstarnes | quizme: try a local mirror | 07:12 |
| kostkon | quizme, did you modify all the lines that contain archive.canonical.com? | 07:12 |
| narretgrez | i tried recovery, but that didn't fix it | 07:12 |
| uccadmin | aneesh1: Looks like you are in a similar situation to me. I only recently automated that process, but I used to use partimage to make the backup and then manually put it back on each machine using a live CD | 07:12 |
| quizme | kostkon yeah i did | 07:12 |
| night1ne | Boo. | 07:13 |
| kostkon | quizme, or yeah, change your server in software sources | 07:13 |
| lstarnes | Aciid: it should continue | 07:13 |
| Aciid | ok thanks | 07:13 |
| quizme | kostkon how do i do that ? | 07:13 |
| kostkon | quizme, that will modify the sources.list file for you | 07:13 |
| linuxghost | people when u got some problem believe on you...be patient you will solve it...ive being bored with upgrade to 9.10 ubuntu bug, now i am happy, solved it:-D:-D | 07:13 |
| fyleow | easyxdcc | 07:13 |
| kostkon | quizme, in system → admin → software sources | 07:13 |
| insm0d | superpaco, no I haven't tried running aircrack on my card yet. If you don't have internet access on the computer with the card, try finding the debian package of the linux-kernel headers used by the linux-wireless sources | 07:14 |
| aneesh1 | insm0d: OK. Can i take incremental backup using dd? | 07:14 |
| quizme | kostkon I don't have that option... synaptic package manager ? | 07:14 |
| superpaco | I do have internet | 07:14 |
| jonz | just curious. does anyone here contribute to any opensource projects? | 07:14 |
| superpaco | insm0d, | 07:14 |
| === Guest56059 is now known as meff | ||
| Grunge | so what should i reinstall to fix this problem? | 07:14 |
| night1ne | Is there anything cool for Karmic that anyone's stumbled upon? | 07:14 |
| kostkon | quizme, you can access your software sources also in synaptic yeah | 07:14 |
| insm0d | aneesh1, I don't think so. There might be a few other tools available that do offer incremental backup. | 07:14 |
| === meff is now known as Guest12755 | ||
| superpaco | insm0d, I do have internet but I do have a driver that does not allow a lot of applications | 07:15 |
| kostkon | quizme, in the first tab, it will say "download from" | 07:15 |
| linuxghost | people when u got some problem believe on you...be patient you will solve it...ive being bored with upgrade to 9.10 ubuntu bug, now i am happy, solved it;-):-[:-D | 07:15 |
| superpaco | so I need the b43 driver | 07:15 |
| alankila | jonz: I happen to write code for VICE and jsidplay2. | 07:15 |
| aneesh1 | insm0d: could you suggest any one? | 07:15 |
| insm0d | superpaco, what version of ubuntu are you running | 07:15 |
| night1ne | I wonder: is linuxghost a ghost? | 07:15 |
| Cool_AWAY | get bored then install karmic :P | 07:15 |
| insm0d | sorry aneesh1, I haven't bothered looking for anything else because dd satisfies my very basic needs | 07:16 |
| uccadmin | aneesh1: Are you looking to do automated backups? | 07:16 |
| aperson | there is no 'eject' in the context menu for my cd drives when there is a blank cd inserted and the eject button in nautilus does not work, any ideas? my drives' physical eject buttons seem to be disabled also, I have to resort to using the eject command | 07:16 |
| superpaco | 9.04 | 07:16 |
| uccadmin | If so, I can kind of describe my setup for imaging | 07:16 |
| superpaco | insm0d, 9.04 | 07:16 |
| aneesh1 | insm0d: Yes. I would like to write a script for it. | 07:16 |
| aneesh1 | uccadmin:Yes. I would like to write a script for it. | 07:16 |
| schwezzy` | ardchoille: booted in to tty mode three times in a row now before finally loading the boot/login screen. I think there is something borked with gdm | 07:17 |
| uccadmin | aneesh1: This might be more complex than you are looking for, but depending on how many machines you need to image you could use clonezilla. How many machines are you working with? | 07:17 |
| linuxghost | night1ne: im like ghost, i enter secret places without be seen | 07:17 |
| jonz | alankila: what's VICE? | 07:17 |
| ardchoille | schwezzy: You might wanna file a bug | 07:17 |
| aneesh1 | uccadmin: 10 to 20 | 07:17 |
| insm0d | okay superpaco: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) | 07:18 |
| echol | Dreamweave | 07:19 |
| linuxghost | people when u got some problem believe on you...be patient you will solve it...ive being bored with upgrade to 9.10 ubuntu bug, now i am happy, solved it;-):-[:-D | 07:19 |
| echol | Dreamweaver | 07:19 |
| insm0d | superpaco, that will install the header files needed by the sources for linux-wireless | 07:19 |
| uccadmin | aneesh1: I see. And how often do you plan to re-image them? I have 6 machines that get re-imaged nightly | 07:19 |
| echol | 里面有搞JAVA的吗？ | 07:19 |
| === Guest12755 is now known as meff | ||
| liyingqiao | 为什么compiz在新装的kde下没有效果？ | 07:19 |
| === meff is now known as Guest79127 | ||
| insm0d | superpaco, http://linuxwireless.org/ that site will have everything else you need to build and install the latest b43 driver and firmware | 07:20 |
| liyingqiao | 我新装了个kde桌面，使用compiz无法开启效果阿 | 07:20 |
| echol | 显卡没装好 | 07:20 |
| Silent_Echo | schwezzy` hey so hows it going with the login thing? | 07:20 |
| alankila | jonz: a c64 emulator among other things. | 07:20 |
| aneesh1 | uccadmin: Not regularly . By every month | 07:20 |
| Grunge | Billiards any command to reverse the flash install? | 07:21 |
| superpaco | I am recieving support from them and they are telling me that I just need to install the b43 driver and remove the wl driver | 07:21 |
| night1ne | Uh huh..I just saw you :p | 07:21 |
| insm0d | I can't get my cd-burner to work. I'm getting an error with wodim. "Errno: 5 (Input/output error), write_g1 scsi sendcmd: no error" along with several other lines. I can post more info upon request | 07:21 |
| schwezzy` | Silent_Echo: ran into some other issues so for the time being it's on the shelf | 07:21 |
| superpaco | insm0d, I have support from there | 07:22 |
| Silent_Echo | schwezzy` kk well if u find a fix nudge me | 07:22 |
| Kapace | $ users | 07:22 |
| Kapace | david david david | 07:22 |
| superpaco | insm0d, but I need to remove the wl and install the b43 | 07:22 |
| superpaco | insm0d, that is it | 07:22 |
| Kapace | why i am logged in three times? | 07:22 |
| uccadmin | aneesh1: In that case, Clonezilla (Basically open-source Norton Ghost) might be overkill. Last question, do all the machines use the same image? | 07:22 |
| insm0d | superpaco, have you built a b43 module, or are you being guided in that process? | 07:22 |
| lstarnes | Kapace: check who | 07:22 |
| superpaco | insm0d, that apt-get command that you gave me is not working | 07:23 |
| lstarnes | Kapace: terminal sessions count as separate logins | 07:23 |
| Kapace | ah | 07:23 |
| lstarnes | Kapace: who and w can list sessions | 07:23 |
| quizme | lstarnes: how do i try a local mirror. can you send me your /etc/apt/sources.list file? I'll just copy and paste it in ? | 07:23 |
| Kapace | ah | 07:23 |
| superpaco | insm0d, I build that with the tutorial you gave me | 07:23 |
| insm0d | superpaco, you need to be connected to the internet for that command to work | 07:23 |
| aneesh1 | uccadmin: No. Every machine has different s/w | 07:23 |
| Kapace | thanks lstarnes | 07:23 |
| lstarnes | quizme: it contains things that might not be valid for you | 07:23 |
| superpaco | insm0d, iam connected now | 07:23 |
| lstarnes | quizme: you should just be able to edit your existing ones | 07:23 |
| superpaco | insm0d, my card is working | 07:23 |
| superpaco | insm0d, | 07:23 |
| quizme | lstarnes: can i show you my existing one ? | 07:24 |
| insm0d | superpaco, I understand, you want to use the b43 driver instead of the wl driver | 07:24 |
| superpaco | insm0d, it just do not has the right driver to get working several apps | 07:24 |
| lstarnes | quizme: yes | 07:24 |
| === Guest79127 is now known as meff | ||
| Sincere | how can i mount a pendrive? | 07:24 |
| lstarnes | quizme: if you have gnome, you can modify the default mirror via system > administration > software sources | 07:24 |
| === meff is now known as Guest8885 | ||
| uccadmin | aneesh1: Ah, I see. Well in that case my method might not work. What I used to do was boot into a live CD, take the backup of the local HD using partimage and save it to a server, then restore using the live CD/partimage on each machine | 07:25 |
| superpaco | insm0d, can you give me the comand again ir my uname -r is 2.6.28-16-generic | 07:25 |
| al_ | any testdisk gurus here? | 07:25 |
| uccadmin | Now I have a clonezilla server that does that all automatically | 07:25 |
| caturday | Sincere, run "sudo fdisk -l " find the drive name ex /dev/sda1 , then mount it "sudo mount /dev/sdaX /mnt" | 07:25 |
| insm0d | superpaco, you have already tried System > Administration > Hardware Drivers? | 07:25 |
| quizme | lstarnes: http://pastie.org/700646 | 07:25 |
| insm0d | I can't get my cd-burner to work. I'm getting an error with wodim. "Errno: 5 (Input/output error), write_g1 scsi sendcmd: no error" along with several other lines. I can post more info upon request | 07:26 |
| lstarnes | quizme: it looks valid | 07:26 |
| quizme | lstarnes: i don't have "software sources" option under "administration" | 07:26 |
| superpaco | insm0d, no I am preatty new with linux | 07:26 |
| superpaco | insm0d, then what?? | 07:26 |
| aneesh1 | uccadmin: Oh! ok. Will it support incremental backup? | 07:26 |
| superpaco | insm0d, | 07:27 |

| Grunge | lstarnes, Flash files no longer have volume to it any suggestions on what i should re-install? | 07:27 |

| Viking667 | I have a quick question. I have two network cards, but for some reason, one hasn't come up. How do I "tickle" it into place? It happens to be my main pipe out, so I'd actually like it to come up. | 07:27 |
| uccadmin | aneesh1: The method I described was all manual. Clonezilla, on the other hand, can be automated and run incrementally (In my case, 4AM) | 07:27 |
| thomastim | juego de boxeo online http://www.kobox.org/kobox-fande-Nourine.html | 07:27 |
| insm0d | what error were you getting when you tried that apt-get command? | 07:27 |
| Viking667 | eth0, a 3C905, the module's probably loaded | 07:28 |
| caturday | Sincere, Ubuntu should do it automatically though | 07:28 |
| uccadmin | aneesh1: It requires a machine to act as the server and your clients must be able to do PXE | 07:28 |
| aneesh1 | uccadmin: Ok. So i can backup and restore all my pc from a centralized clonezilla server. Right? | 07:28 |
| lstarnes | quizme: if you are upgrading, try commenting out all repos except the main ones for ubuntu (e.g. main, restricted, universe, and multiverse) | 07:29 |
| === Guest8885 is now known as meff | ||
| quizme | lstarnes ok | 07:29 |
| lstarnes | quizme: I think the partner, backports, and proposed repos are also main ones | 07:29 |
| Viking667 | heh. It's up. | 07:29 |
| uccadmin | aneesh1: Yes, you can. Its somewhat of a pain to setup, but once you get it done it take quite a load off of the shoulders of the poor lab manager (Myself in my situation) | 07:29 |
| === meff is now known as Guest32208 | ||
| uccadmin | aneesh1: Take a look at http://clonezilla.org/ to get started | 07:30 |

| Blehk | Tried it with Vesa as well but same issue. | 07:30 |
| Viking667 | whew. Needed to rmmod the module, modprobe the module and bring the stupid thing back up again. sigh. | 07:30 |

| Meowpup | hi my fortune addons from here dont work. http://www.thelinuxlink.net/l4c/programs.html | 07:30 |

| lstarnes | Meowpup: how did you add them? | 07:30 |
| Silent_Echo | question to the room... I downloaded picasa 3.0 and i installed it with package installer, ...but no matter what i poke it with it wont open suggestions? furthermore if i cant get it to work how do i remove it? | 07:30 |
| Meowpup | like it says | 07:31 |
| scottyg_ | it wont let me login as root | 07:31 |
| lstarnes | Meowpup: did you move the files for it into /usr/share/games/fortunes ? | 07:31 |
| scottyg_ | i do su - | 07:31 |
| lstarnes | scottyg_: that is intentional | 07:31 |
| Meowpup | lstarnes: extract the files into /use/share/games /fortunes | 07:32 |
| lstarnes | scottyg_: use sudo -i instead | 07:32 |
| insm0d | Silent_Echo, sudo apt-get delete picasa or whatever the package is called | 07:32 |
| scottyg_ | and put in my password, but it says authentication failure | 07:32 |
| Meowpup | */usr/share/games/fortunes | 07:32 |
| scottyg_ | sudo -i | 07:32 |
| scottyg_ | good it worked | 07:32 |
| scottyg_ | now will i be able to change permissions on files | 07:33 |
| insm0d | I can't get my cd-burner to work. I'm getting an error with wodim. "Errno: 5 (Input/output error), write_g1 scsi sendcmd: no error" along with several other lines. I can post more info upon request | 07:33 |

| quizme | lstarnes ok | 07:36 |

| sllide | what are you trying to do? | 08:05 |
| la-homo-sen-koro | You spend days, weekends, months, getting stuff to work | 08:06 |
| sllide | also, it gets easy'er after a while | 08:06 |
| Besogon | Dr_Willis, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KarmicUpgrades see troubles (some people have trouble for mount ntfs or fat drives) | 08:06 |
| ryanc_ | klpt, Working... I had to manually start my RAIDs and LVM from the command line. | 08:06 |
| skinnYPuP | sjd if the jaunty cd loads and karmic won't , idk maybe an unsupported piece of hardware or a bad disk ? | 08:06 |
| NetNut404 | not sure where to go from here when loading wl module | 08:06 |
| la-homo-sen-koro | yeah sllide, and after a while getting abused also isn't "so bad" | 08:06 |
| zakwilson | I've found getting the basics to work on Windows to be quite a challenge. I think they both have some work to do, and the one you're more used to seems easier. | 08:06 |
| ryanc_ | klpt, It had an issue with my /boot RAID1 which I came here to ask about fixing. | 08:06 |
| sjd | skinnYPuP: i tried 3 live disks. i remember once jaunty was released I installed it from the live mode. | 08:07 |
| dylan_ | can anyone tell me the command i would use to manually turn off a webcam ? | 08:07 |
| klpt | ryanc - what's up? i've had some luck getting my other distro to boot raid5 | 08:07 |
| Dr_Willis | Besogon: i never do upgrades. So cant really say ive had the issue. my NTFS partitions are being mounbted by uuid here. Thats all i can really say on the topic | 08:07 |
| sllide | la-homo-sen-koro: also, try to install some easy stuff not with synaptic and trying to compile stuff yourself | 08:07 |
| sllide | it helps alot | 08:07 |

| la-homo-sen-koro | if someone points out a fault, then they're noobs, impatient, etc etc? | 08:09 |
| soreau | xgvictoriax: You would have to make it start with lxde startup programs, how ever it does that. but it will likely load openbox first then get replaced by compiz | 08:09 |
| xgvictoriax | so how can i get it to start on startup | 08:09 |
| ryanc_ | failed to find openssh-server, wtf? | 08:09 |
| Dr_Willis | xgvictoriax: and it replaces openbox then - So you could check the lxde docs and see how they handle session management/starup apps i guess and run that command. | 08:09 |
| la-homo-sen-koro | People like you have turned linux into a cult | 08:09 |

| kostkon | I meant: kermit, even if you choose not to remove them now, you will be able to do it later | 08:16 |
| tiox | Yes, Ubuntu is for noobs. Which is why Windows users can come to grips with it real easy. :P | 08:16 |
| kermit | kostkon: oh ok | 08:17 |
| ryanc_ | sjd, busybox from a live cd? are you sure the cd isn't bad? | 08:17 |
| spyderfase | windows is for worms | 08:17 |
| * tiox reminds himself to not feed the troll | 08:17 | |
| sjd | ryanc_: yes, I tried 3 live disc sent me from Canonical. But sometime ago once Jaunty was released I was able to live boot. | 08:17 |
| ryanc_ | sjd, if it's dropping you to busybox... what does it say before that? | 08:18 |
| * tiox walks to spyderfase and pounds a "DO NOT FEED THE TROLL" sign next to him as a service | 08:18 | |
| insm0d | ryanc_ Again, I'm not entirely sure, but all my software is saying it's TSST TS-L462D. My computer is a dell latitude d820 and checking the service tag on dell's website shows there is a firmware update dated 2008 for my drive. Unfortunately that means I'll have to install windows to install it :/ | 08:18 |
| Flannel | tiox: Please just let it pass | 08:18 |

| paddy_melon | Hey guys, I get a black screen when, I boot up gnome after updating to 9.10 from Jaunty. KDE works and, I just launch that from recovery root terminal.

| sjd | ryanc_: how do i do that? | 08:20 |
| ryanc_ | sjd, if it's giving you an initramfs prompt then something is seriously wrong. | 08:20 |

| === meff is now known as Guest94290 | ||
| Dr_Willis | paddy_melon: as another trouble shootiung thing - you could start up a session with just a xterm, then try launching gnome-session, or other gnome parts and see if any are failing to work. That may narrow down the problem part of gnome | 08:24 |
| insm0d | tiox, and if you aren't familiar with ultimate boot cd for windows, it's basically a complete windows installation on a disc | 08:25 |

| c_wraith | to anyone who might be reading the logs: the easiest way to disable tap-to-click in xubuntu is to install and run gsynaptics | 08:27 |
| troopperi | paddy_melon: have you turnn off visual effects? | 08:27 |
| Dr_Willis | gnome-session launches them all. try it first. and look for error messages in the terminal | 08:28 |

| Dr_Willis | indus: chroot into installed system. and yes,,you should be able tio | 08:35 |
| klpt | I'm moving my Archlinux system to Ubuntu 9.10. The major feature of the computer is that it was a fileserver for my network, but I wanted more desktop accessibility with it. That means it has several hard drives stacked into a RAID5 + LVM storage array. Ubuntu picks right up on the RAID5, but not so much with the LVM. "pvscan" doesn't find any physical devices. I checked to make sure /dev/md? devices are being scanned in /etc/lvm/lvm.conf, and they are. Any idea | 08:35 |

| klpt | ryanc_: yeah, vgscan doesn't have any physical volumes to look on, so it just returns immediately | 08:46 |
| indus | gartral: grrrrrrrrr nice config :D | 08:46 |
| d9500 | kermit, if you're running karmic, see if sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kernel-ppa works. then sudp aptitude update | 08:46 |
| klpt | jcdutton: i run pvscan and it doesn't find my raid5 based lvm array | 08:47 |
| d9500 | then check synaptic for newer kernels. | 08:47 |
| indus | gartral: what cost | 08:47 |
| d9500 | kermit, not sure if that will work or not. try it. | 08:47 |
| gartral | jcdutton: what do i have to do to get xsensors to output anything? | 08:47 |
| klpt | jcdutton: but archlinux (the source of the lvm array) still finds it OK. i can't get ubuntu to find it even by copying the entire /etc/lvm folder into ubuntu | 08:47 |
| indus | gartral: no problem with intel chips i believe, i have amd x2 4400 which aways shows 40 c | 08:47 |

| indus | ripthejacker: no, but your isp will provide it | 08:51 |
| indus | iirc | 08:51 |
| klpt | ripthejacker: ifconfig does that for a given connection | 08:51 |
| d9500 | kermit, reboot if you haven't already, and you should be running the new kernel. you might you have check your grub.cfg (don't try editing it directly, just do sudo nano -w /boot/grub/grub.cfg to look at it) to make sure that 2.6.32 is the first kernel in the boot list now. | 08:51 |
| ripthejacker | well i have to login and logout | 08:51 |
| indus | klpt: hmm | 08:51 |
| ripthejacker | to get that from isp | 08:51 |
| indus | ripthejacker: maybe there are tools out there | 08:52 |
| klpt | and a lot of routers will integrate that over some interval of time | 08:52 |
| ripthejacker | klpt: ifconfig gives only for current session | 08:52 |
| Dr_Willis | Hmm.. ive seen such tools/monitors befor ripthejacker but i dont know how well/acurate they are | 08:52 |
| gartral | indus: gkrellm-gui doesn't exist, and what were you talking about earlier, i couldnt make it out | 08:52 |
| indus | gartral: just gkrellm | 08:52 |
| indus | gartral: its a gui app | 08:52 |
| klpt | ripthejacker: yeah, i know. that's what i meant "for a given connection". I could've been more clear. i think your best bet would be to write a little script that logs that and integrates the usage | 08:52 |
| Dr_Willis | ripthejacker: and the data is proberly not kept logged. so if you want totals per month.. that maybe harder | 08:52 |
| ripthejacker | klpt: even for ifconfig i see inaccurate results | 08:52 |

| bcj | (Ubuntu 9.10) | 09:20 |
| dutchbuntu | rags: sudo apt-get remove [package name] | 09:22 |
| soreau | bcj: Since gdm has been restructured, I don't think there is a way to change themes through gdmsetup any longer | 09:22 |
| MenZa | That is correct. | 09:22 |
| bcj | How does one do it then? | 09:23 |
| MenZa | There's a hacky approach to doing it, but as it is currently, shouldn't be recommended. | 09:23 |
| soreau | There may be another method, but if there is I do not know of it | 09:23 |

| zsolt | hi there!i use wine,are windows viruses can cause damage to wine or not? | 09:43 |
| Dr_Willis | zsolt: if you run them with wine. in theory they can. | 09:43 |
| spike | thanks | 09:43 |
| gartral | zsolt: yes, viruses can attack a wine-enabled system | 09:43 |
| om26er | zsolt: no | 09:43 |
| lstarnes | zsolt: in theory, they can, but wine often lacks elements of windows that some viruses rely on | 09:43 |
| om26er | ok | 09:44 |
| Dr_Willis | remove the .wine dir and anything will be erased. so not too hard to remove. but it depends on what the 'virus' in wuestion is doing | 09:44 |

| qp_pq | how do I uninstall gnome ? | 09:44 |
| Dr_Willis | Running a windows trojan in wine that deletes everything on the C: D: E: and soon.. will basiclly erase your users files. | 09:44 |
| qp_pq | aptitude remove gnome does not work | 09:44 |
| zsolt | if a virus attacks wine can destroy my linux too? | 09:44 |
| qp_pq | since gnome is not a package | 09:44 |
| Dr_Willis | qp_pq: what doyou want to use instead? | 09:44 |
| === meff is now known as Guest9773 | ||
| qp_pq | Dr_Willis: xfce or dwm | 09:44 |
| lstarnes | zsolt: generally, no | 09:44 |
| qp_pq | Dr_Willis: dooesn't matter I just want gnome down | 09:44 |
| qp_pq | Dr_Willis: how do I get i tdown ? | 09:45 |
| Dr_Willis | zsolt: users home files would be at risk. but not the whole system | 09:45 |
| lstarnes | zsolt: especially if none of your wine drives point to other folders on the system | 09:45 |
| Dr_Willis | !purexfce | 09:45 |
| ubottu | If you want to remove all !KDE and !Gnome packages and have a default !Xubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce » | 09:45 |
| ryanc_ | Why is busybox in initramfs compiled without an editor? That is retarded. | 09:45 |
| om26er | Dr_Willis: i think they don't work on karmic (psychocats.net) | 09:46 |
| gartral | i cant get sound out of my chasis's front audio panel, nor do i have a volume controll off the right click context menu for my sound.. what is happening here? | 09:46 |
| zsolt | because i want to use msn messenger with wine,amsn is crap,i tried all,but only empathy works well,but sometimes I can't accept incoming calling | 09:46 |
| lstarnes | zsolt: what about pidgin? | 09:46 |
| Spixx | gartral: uninstalled some of the media components? | 09:46 |
| gartral | Spixx: none at all | 09:46 |
| Spixx | lspci | grep audio ? | 09:47 |
| gartral | Spixx: other than wine, lm-sensors, and kdde, it's a fresh install of 9.04 | 09:47 |
| Meowpup | lstarnes: i only ghet this http://imagebin.ca/view/soHHfTeg.html or this http://imagebin.ca/view/V-mp498.html | 09:47 |

| zsolt | how can i configure pidgin to videocall msn contacts? | 09:47 |
| Spixx | ahh | 09:47 |
| Infin1ty | how can i tell "debuild" not to rebuild the whole source and just continue building the packages? | 09:47 |
| om26er | zsolt: no idon't think it does that | 09:47 |
| Spixx | pidgin cannot handle that at all | 09:47 |
| Spixx | check if there are any plugin for it though (pidgin.im) | 09:48 |
| zsolt | that's it why I deleted pidgin | 09:48 |
| lstarnes | Meowpup: can you use pastebin instead of imagebin next time? | 09:48 |

| sjd | I tried many things, but could not boot to live mode. so not able to fix grub. any new suggestions? | 09:53 |
| Dr_Willis | vagothcpp: 'almost a de' - is a little.. vague. :) you could use rox-filer for your file manager/desktop icons. + some light wwindow manager. or pcmanfm for icons/filemanager | 09:54 |
| Spixx | openbox is the solution ;) | 09:54 |
| === Guest28499 is now known as meff | ||
| Dr_Willis | Ive notived that rox-filer 's pinboard feature seems broken in 9.10 :( | 09:54 |

| yousoboil1 | Hello, this is somewhat off topic, but: I did some SEO work for this company and I finished, they will pay me the rest of the money by check but I have a feeling they will do stop payment on the check. Is there some contract I can have them sign before hand so if they do bounce the check I have something to show the judge? | 09:55 |
| saulus | is it possible to start gpg-agent at start in Gnome? | 09:55 |
| sjd | any other ways to fix grub? | 09:55 |
| vagothcpp | Dr_Willis, Well, GNOME is too heavy and is a DE, so not heavy in other words | 09:55 |
| ardchoille | vagothcpp: Openbox and windowmaker are my favorites | 09:55 |
| Dr_Willis | vagothcpp: all the light DE's out there are just a light window manager + pcmanfm or rox-filere for the most part. from what ive seen | 09:55 |
| Dr_Willis | vagothcpp: so try them out and see aht you like. You can roll your own | 09:56 |
| vagothcpp | ardchoille, Know if Openbox is programmed in C/++ or do I have to go check =P | 09:56 |
| lstarnes | vagothcpp: it is | 09:56 |
| ardchoille | vagothcpp: no idea | 09:56 |
| vagothcpp | Dr_Willis, Roll my own? That sounds like it would take months | 09:56 |
| icedwater | vagothcpp: apt-cache show openbox might provide some details. | 09:56 |
| indus | yousoboil1: try #ubuntu-offtopic | 09:56 |
| Dr_Willis | vagothcpp: err.. for a light de - you take one window manager.. and one file manager to handle the desktop icons.. done.. | 09:56 |
| Dr_Willis | vagothcpp: unless theres somthing else you need it to do... | 09:57 |
| Infin1ty | gartral, i don't understand what i need to put after --binary-hook= for example, there's no explanation in there | 09:57 |
| vagothcpp | Dr_Willis, can you recommend me a window manager that I can use to do that? | 09:57 |
| indus | yousoboil1: also i believe, bouncing a cheque is an offence provided you are in the same country | 09:57 |
| icedwater | vagothcpp: I don't think Dr_Willis meant roll-your-own as in code everything from scratch :P | 09:57 |
| Dr_Willis | vagothcpp: flip a coin.. theres a dozen + to choose from. | 09:57 |
| icedwater | indus: I find scrunched-up cheques bounce better. | 09:57 |
| Dr_Willis | vag any of the XXXbox, flwm, jwm, icewm, | 09:57 |
| indus | icedwater: yeah me too :) btw, what is scrunched up? | 09:58 |
| vagothcpp | I'll need to do some more research it seems | 09:58 |
| icedwater | For 'customisable' substitute 'barebones' | 09:58 |
| Dr_Willis | vagothcpp: yes you don :) | 09:58 |
| Dr_Willis | do :) | 09:58 |
| icedwater | That's usually what it means :P | 09:58 |
| ardchoille | vagothcpp: I think what Dr_Willis meant was windowmaker for the wm and rox-filer for the file manager.. that's what I did and it works great | 09:58 |
| gartral | .last gartral | 09:58 |
| vagothcpp | I am making a major shift to linux, Win32 API is shitting me too much | 09:58 |
| icedwater | indus: when you make a paper ball out of it. | 09:59 |
| icedwater | What's the word you'd use for that? | 09:59 |
| Dr_Willis | Yea windowmaker is neat in many ways. amazing how well it works dispite its age.. it has some quirks.. but its very useable | 09:59 |
| indus | icedwater: :D | 09:59 |

| ahvazi | Hi, has anyone else had problems with gnome not automounting ipod after upgrade to karmic? | 10:00 |
| qp_pq | ah how well I will feel with Xubuntu | 10:00 |
| kermit | how do i turn off relatime? its set on ALL my mounts somehow | 10:00 |
| Dr_Willis | vagothcpp: one 'issue' will be the menus for all the ubuntu apps. You want to have total controll of the menus ? or You want it to automatically add all the ubuntu apps like you would find in gnome | 10:00 |
| qp_pq | finally I'll be able to run stuff at a decent speed | 10:00 |

| vagothcpp | Basically I don't need super heavy graphics, the less memory on my GPU/RAM the better, but still functional | 10:00 |
| ardchoille | fluxbox is also quite nice | 10:00 |
| Dr_Willis | vagothcpp: Most any of the window managers mentioned can handle that | 10:00 |
| Spixx | vagothcpp: xfce? | 10:00 |
| vagothcpp | Dr_Willis, Define total control | 10:00 |
| Dr_Willis | vagothcpp: if you dont put an entry in your menus.. its not there. :) total control | 10:01 |
| Dr_Willis | many light wm's do NOT auto-add all the gnome/ubuntu menu items | 10:01 |
| vagothcpp | Dr_Willis, Organize it how I wish, and control whats in there, yes | 10:01 |
| vagothcpp | uhm, I jus checked, I /join ##linux and i am in #ubuntu | 10:01 |
| Dr_Willis | untill you find that you spend more time editing your menus.. then you do working. :) | 10:02 |
| vagothcpp | I'm actually going to be running debian | 10:02 |

| courpse | ahh ta. | 10:03 |
| vagothcpp | I do however love Ubuntu for rearranging my hdd's xD | 10:03 |
| Dr_Willis | vagothcpp: ive learned the basics.. so i can handle them all. :) ill stick with ubuntu for now. I dont have to fight with it near as much as many other disrtos | 10:03 |
| MenZa | courpse: for the record, that was a s simple as 'apt-cache search php curl' | 10:03 |
| icedwater | Ah that works too. | 10:04 |
| ardchoille | Dr_Willis: well said | 10:04 |
| zetheroo | om26er: I don't think its the system specs per se .. I have the feeling like something is messed up with the graphics side of things .. like the rendering or something ... in Jaunty it was a lot smoother | 10:04 |

| ageeb | ct529, what's itune format? quicktime? | 10:12 |
| sjd | icedwater: yes, i tried more than 3 live cd's. they are taking me to the initramfs prompt. | 10:12 |
| === dan_ is now known as rao | ||
| icedwater | sjd: Which live CDs? | 10:12 |
| sjd | icedwater: jaunty | 10:13 |
| icedwater | sjd: I used to have similar problems trying to install jaunty, hardy and intrepid on my current laptop. | 10:13 |
| icedwater | sjd: Try burning a karmic one, that should work fine. | 10:13 |
| sjd | icedwater: but Karmic wont help me to fix grub1 | 10:13 |
| ct529 | ageeb: well, belss be if I know .... they say itune format .... I have never used itune in my whole life, do not even know what it is .... | 10:13 |
| icedwater | How is it you're on IRC, though, sjd? | 10:13 |
| ct529 | ageeb: I use amarok | 10:14 |
| icedwater | sjd: That is a good point. Consider Parted-Magic, then. | 10:14 |
| sjd | icedwater: I can boot to windows. but I hate this really. | 10:14 |
| === Guest74102 is now known as meff | ||
| icedwater | sjd: I used that to tweak my partitions before. | 10:14 |
| sjd | icedwater: Parted-magic? | 10:14 |
| ageeb | ct529, have you downloaded the file yet? | 10:14 |
| icedwater | sjd: Though it's debatable whether that was the cause of my current partition table problem. :P | 10:14 |
| === meff is now known as Guest10107 | ||
| sjd | icedwater: so what do you suggest ? | 10:15 |
| icedwater | sjd: Yeah, I think it has some rescue functionality too, like Super Grub Disk. Though I didn't get very far with that, personally. | 10:15 |
| d9500 | Vinceman, yes, but depending on how it was installed, the process can be fairly easy, or time-consuming. how did you install it? .deb file? build from source? | 10:15 |
| ct529 | ageeb: nope, because the browser says "protocol not recognise" | 10:15 |
| sjd | icedwater: i had given a try with Super Grub disk. but that too got stuck somwhere. | 10:16 |
| ct529 | ageeb: nope, because the browser says "protocol not recognised", sorry | 10:16 |
| icedwater | sjd: I suppose get the USB image of parted magic, copy it to USB, follow the instructions in the readme to make it bootable (one command) | 10:16 |
| vagothcpp | I am glad I installed a cat5 cable through my roof, my wireless card was bugging the shit out of me | 10:16 |
| sjd | icedwater: let me try | 10:16 |
| MenZa | !language | vagothcpp | 10:16 |
| ubottu | vagothcpp: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 10:16 |
| icedwater | sjd: Then boot Parted magic and go to a console | 10:16 |
| sjd | icedwater: hmm | 10:16 |
| vagothcpp | bugging the s**t out of me ^ | 10:16 |
| ageeb | ct529, can you pm me the link? | 10:16 |
| icedwater | sjd: In the console, sudo chroot to the existing partition where grub is, then do a grub-install | 10:16 |
| icedwater | sjd: That's what worked for my case, though it was a relatively simple error 17 with grub. | 10:17 |
| Vinceman | d9500 I don't remember exactly | 10:17 |
| icedwater | Did you get any sort of error code? | 10:17 |
| icedwater | sjd: You can search for the grub error code you got, too. | 10:17 |
| vagothcpp | OH GOD, at 5MB/s this dd of 138GiB is going to take forever | 10:17 |
| sjd | icedwater: I simply lost the grub as I installed windows after ubuntu. | 10:17 |
| icedwater | Apparently 15 and 17 are easy to resolve. Oh, it was eaten, huh. | 10:18 |
| sjd | icedwater: grub is not live, to give a code | 10:18 |
| sjd | icedwater: yeah | 10:18 |
| Vinceman | d9500 I installed it from here: http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/How_to_Obtain,_Build_and_Install_V4L-DVB_Device_Drivers | 10:18 |
| icedwater | sjd: Well, this is a first: grub has been eaten by a grue. | 10:18 |
| icedwater | Heh. | 10:18 |
| sjd | icedwater: this is obvious that when we install windows after Ubuntu, grub would be lost. | 10:18 |
| icedwater | sjd: So try parted-magic -> USB-boot -> chroot -> grub-install /dev/sda0 or something. | 10:19 |
| ct529 | ageeb: of course | 10:19 |
| sjd | icedwater: okay. | 10:19 |
| icedwater | sjd: Yes, it is, you're right. But I haven't done that in a while now. | 10:19 |

| d9500 | Vinceman, looks like it was built from source, so there won't be a listing that synaptic, aptitude, or dpkg can use. do you still have the tarball that the source came compressed in? | 10:20 |

| naftilos76 | hi everyone - I cannot redirect an audio stream using pulse to a different target with 9.10! Instead, i could do that with 9.04! Where has that option gone? | 10:20 |
| Vinceman | d9500 I can download it again from the site | 10:21 |
| Vinceman | d9500: in the future, it really is best to only install with synaptic, isn't it? | 10:21 |
| kazoo | Hello, How do i restart OpenSSH? | 10:22 |
| d9500 | Vinceman, yes or use a .deb file. packages installed from .deb files, i think, have to be installed using dpg from the command line, but it still beats trying to get rid of files installed from source. | 10:22 |
| Spixx | kazoo: /etc/init.d/ssh restart | 10:22 |
| Vinceman | d9500: so if I know from what tarball I installed it, how do I uninstall? | 10:23 |
| d9500 | Vinceman, the reason i asked about the tarball was that i didn't see any instructions to run ./configure prior to make to create a makefile. i'm assuming therefore there was a makefile in there, hopefully. | 10:23 |
| d9500 | Vinceman, if there was, then download the tarball, extract to the same directory that you originally extracted to before compiling, cd to that directory in terminal, and run sudo make uninstall. | 10:24 |
| === Guest17092 is now known as meff | ||

| vince | Jimi_Neutral: i never use clonezilla | 10:26 |
| Jimi_Neutral | vince? | 10:26 |
| d9500 | Vinceman, if that does not work, then the link you sent me lists what directory it installed the files to. back them up to somewhere else and them either use rm to remove the files, or open nautilus w/ root priveilges (gksudo nautilus) browse to the directory the files are in, and send them to the trash. | 10:26 |

| isolated | /set gui_usermenu ON | 10:29 |
| d9500 | Vinceman, for example, /lib/modules/[kernel version]/kernel/drivers/media directory. you will need to know the name of the .ko file you want to delete, and again, back up any files before you delete them in case you delete the wrong thing and need to restore it later. | 10:31 |
| _ged | hi, is it possible to include an action on a shell script wherein on that action, it will send an email to someone... | 10:32 |

| iscape | hello, how can one deactivate the desktop on the ubuntu remix? (very slow on my old laptop) | 10:32 |

| Vinceman | d9500 I can't undo all the commands on the webpage one by one.. but I can undo the first one I think | 10:34 |
| d9500 | Vinceman, only if you delete the wrong thing. even then, if you made a backup, you can pop in a live cd, wait for it to boot up and get you to a gui, then mount the drive for your install (ubuntu live cd lets you mount in one click by clicking in xx GB hard disk" icon in "Places") and copy the deleted file/s back over. | 10:34 |
| vagothcpp | When I was installing flash player, i get "Error: Wrong architecture 'i386'", what does this mean? | 10:35 |
| d9500 | Vinceman, try download/extract tarball, cd to the extracted files directory, then sudo make uninstall first. it avoids having to manually delete files. Only do the manual delete if that does not work | 10:35 |
| Spixx | vagothcpp: are you running a 64bit version? | 10:36 |
| vagothcpp | Spixx, Indeed | 10:36 |
| Spixx | then you need to use the 64bit version of the flash installer | 10:36 |
| Spixx | if you got it from their site that is | 10:36 |
| Sincere | how can i check whether my machine is 32 bit or 64bit? | 10:37 |
| Vinceman | d9500 does the tarball have to be in the same directory it was installed from? | 10:37 |
| vagothcpp | Found it xD | 10:37 |
| Spixx | check the version number? | 10:37 |
| Sincere | command? | 10:37 |
| dutchbuntu | Sincere: depends on your CPU. What CPU do you have? | 10:37 |
| Spixx | I was close to saying rm -rf :P but try and google it first cause I don't know | 10:38 |
| dutchbuntu | Sincere: you can check the installed version by running 'uname -a' (w/o the quotes) | 10:38 |

| Jimi_Neutral | is it possible to roll back to a previous flavour of ubuntu | 10:38 |

| dutchbuntu | MenZa: my bad | 10:40 |
| MenZa | dutchbuntu: no problem :) | 10:40 |
| d9500 | Vinceman, ideally yes. not exactly sure why. i remember reading something about "makepath' which I presume is the path (/path/to/directory) that the original source was built and installed from. on that, i could be wrong. | 10:40 |

| Jimi_Neutral | Spixx, no, it just hangs on "Let original init take over" | 10:42 |
| Vinceman | d9500 does the hg clone command copy a tarball from the web to your harddisk? | 10:42 |
| d9500 | Vinceman, if you plan on doing a lot of compiles from source, it might be a good idea to build a /src or /sourcecode directory inside your /home/yourusername directory, then extract all your tarballs there before building. i wish i'd thought of that back when i tried to build the nouveau driver for my nvidia card a few months back. | 10:42 |

| d9500 | Vinceman, you're talking about mercurial there. which unfortunately, i'm not familiar with. if it's anything like git, which uses git clone to obtain source files, then yes, i would presume it does | 10:43 |

| d9500 | Vinceman, the hierarchy of preference is as follows 1) available in synaptic or by running aptitude install [package] from command line, 2) available as a .deb file that you can double-click to install, 3) available as a standalone install, 4) available as a fedora .rpm that you can convert to a deb with alien. 5) source code. the last one can be a nuisance if the distributor doesn't provide proper uninstall scripts. | 11:04 |

| Vinceman | d9500 normally speaking it shouldn't be a huge problem if there's a couple of unused files on your harddisk somewhere, right? | 11:08 |

| eberry | Thanks, ubottu and archoille | 11:08 |
| d9500 | Vinceman, no need to write it down. just bookmark http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/installingsoftware there's a more detailed explanation of that hierarchy there. | 11:08 |
| d9500 | Vinceman, as for the used files, no, unless they're modules that are being loaded at startup that you don't want loaded (old drivers, etc.) | 11:09 |

| dutchbuntu | eberry: so you set up your time zone correctly? | 11:13 |
| eberry | dutchbuntu: yes, using the instructions on the UbuntuTime page | 11:13 |
| schwezzy | did you account for daylight savings | 11:13 |
| noneNN | i think they should put .32 on the repos, make a huge difference for people who uses intel gma video card | 11:14 |

| schwezzy | eberry: go to the next timezone | 11:14 |
| frogzoo | eberry: typically, set your time zone correctly | 11:14 |
| frogzoo | and ubuntu calculate DST for you | 11:14 |
| eberry | schwezzy: that doesn't sound right | 11:14 |
| erUSUL | noneNN: .32 has not even been released by kernel.org is rc7 at the moment... | 11:15 |
| === kiwifunk is now known as zz_kiwifunk | ||
| eberry | frogzoo: I think my timezone is set correctly | 11:15 |
| frogzoo | eberry: what's your TZ? | 11:15 |
| MenZa | noneNN: If what erUSUL says is correct, then don't bother - RC kernels will not be packaged. | 11:15 |
| eberry | frogzoo: Central Europe | 11:15 |
| schwezzy | if for whatever reason it's not calculating correctly, make the correction yourself | 11:15 |
| MenZa | eberry: I run CET with no problem; automagically adjusts DST and such as well. | 11:15 |

| ubottu | noneNN, please see my private message | 11:15 |
| noneNN | i mean whats that channel? | 11:15 |
| eberry | MenZa: what version of Ubuntu are you running? | 11:15 |
| MenZa | eberry: Karmic, 9.10. | 11:16 |
| d9500 | noneNN, kernel upgrades can also break things. like binary drivers (ahem, nvidia comes to mind.) putting in repo would automatically install it when update-manager detected it as a newer version. i don't think the ubuntu maintainers wwant to have entire kernel upgrades with the potential to have to reload 1) binary modules that cannot be distributed in kernel, and 2) any manually compiled modules a user has made. | 11:16 |
| MenZa | But it has been since 5.10 :) | 11:16 |
| eberry | MenZa: I just had this problem when I updated to Karmic (9.10) | 11:16 |
| MenZa | eberry: Could your BIOS clock be screwing up stuff? | 11:16 |
| eberry | MenZa: How would I know? | 11:16 |
| MenZa | eberry: Hm, could you outline the problem exactly, again? I didn't catch the first part. | 11:17 |
| schwezzy | restart your computer and follow the prompt to get to bios | 11:17 |
| eberry | I'll restate my problem | 11:17 |
| schwezzy | generally f2 or del | 11:17 |
| MenZa | Excellent. | 11:17 |
| qp_pq | wow I cannot believe how much stuff I have to remove | 11:17 |
| qp_pq | from my ubuntu | 11:17 |
| qp_pq | to make it run decent | 11:17 |
| qp_pq | I'm switching to gentoo I guess | 11:17 |
| erUSUL | qp_pq: good luck and farewell then | 11:18 |
| Dr_Willis | qp_pq: have fun.. bye... | 11:18 |
| noneNN | for regular users i think, it would make a big difference, i dont do that stuff i mean modules?... kernel 2.6.32 is a nice upgrade | 11:18 |
| dutchbuntu | qp_pq: happy gentoo-ing then | 11:18 |
| Dr_Willis | by the time i got my gentoo box updated.. new updates were out... | 11:18 |
| d9500 | noneNN, if you just need newer intel gma video card drivers, there's probably a ppa for that | 11:19 |
| qp_pq | dutchbuntu: :P | 11:19 |
| GIR7590 | Hey all, stupid question, but I find myself having to install SDL dev libs a lot on random computers and during reinstalls, and I was wondering if there was a way to install all of them simutaneously. I really dislike having to apt-cache SDL and pick out the dev libs all the time... | 11:19 |
| eberry | I have just updated from Jaunty to Karmic. Now the clock in my GNOME applet reads one hour earlier than it should. I am in Central European time, and the time here is 12:18, but the time in the applet reads 11:18. Furthermore, when I type "sudo hwclock --show" in the command line, it returns a time that is too early by one hour. If I type "sudo hwclock --utc" it returns the correct time. | 11:19 |
| erUSUL | noneNN: stop that; we've told you that that won't happen. And here none has the power to change that so take the "petition" to launchpad or another channel | 11:19 |
| Dr_Willis | GIR7590: apt-get supports wildcards I recall.. :) or make a script that installs teh ones you need. | 11:19 |
| noneNN | d9500, im using xorg edgers, but the difference came with kernel 2.6.32 | 11:19 |
| qp_pq | GIR7590: scp to all , ssh to all aptitude install , or make some Perl script using Expect.pm to automate the install | 11:19 |
| noneNN | i tell you, its HUGE difference | 11:19 |

| d9500 | noneNN, you got the new kernel installed, right? as much as i agree that having the kernel available wouldbe nice, the ubuntu team has decided not to. generally, i think the idea is that if you're able to figure out you need a new kernel for the included modules, you should be able to figure out how to download and click a .deb file. ubuntu tries to strike a balance between stable but older (debian for instance) and bleeding edge (gentoo for example). i | 11:22 |

| MenZa | eberry: Try unticking all of them, and adding 'pool.ntp.org' | 11:22 |
| mr_boo | erUSUL: thanks | 11:23 |
| MenZa | eberry: It seems like a really odd issue. I'm just stumbling in the dark here, but hey, it's worth a shot. | 11:23 |
| Dr_Willis | kleftisx: a swap partition is normally needed also yes | 11:23 |
| MenZa | it's what I synchronise with. | 11:23 |
| eberry | MenZa: I've made the change. How do I get the clock to sync? | 11:23 |
| MenZa | eberry: Good question. | 11:24 |
| MenZa | eberry: Out of curiosity, have you set any Locations in the clock applet? | 11:24 |
| eberry | MenZa: Many | 11:25 |
| MenZa | eberry: Hmm, any of them being in the UK? | 11:25 |
| eberry | MenZa: No | 11:25 |
| * MenZa boggles. | 11:25 | |
| eberry | MenZa: One is set for "GMT" | 11:25 |
| MenZa | Ah. | 11:25 |
| MenZa | I can't say I've ever seen this issue before - it seems weird. Could you check your BIOS clock? I.e. restart your computer, then follow the prompt to load your BIOS (normally del, F2, or F12) | 11:26 |
| MenZa | Because that might be conflicting | 11:26 |
| eberry | MenZa: But (further strangeness), it reads "GMT (new line) 10:26 GMT -1" | 11:26 |
| MenZa | O_O | 11:26 |
| MenZa | Yes, that is *very* weird. | 11:26 |

| ardchoille | eberry: not sure it will help, but what I do is install ntp from the repos and keep the clock synced with internet servers, works here | 11:28 |
| MenZa | ardchoille: Already tried. | 11:28 |
| MenZa | 7w 76 | 11:28 |
| ardchoille | MenZa: ah, ok | 11:28 |
| digitalfiz | i connect fine im just having really choppy sound im watching pavcontrol and it looks like it keeps disconnecting connecting as a stream | 11:28 |
| digitalfiz | when i make vlc use alsa it is choppy for a bit too but it clears up but vlc isnt as intensive as secondlife | 11:29 |

| ubottu | Meowpup: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 11:43 |
| muep__ | sassyn: fglrx is only available for the new models, or for old Ubuntus | 11:43 |
| f4lcokian | hey guys.. | 11:44 |
| sassyn | muep__ So if I used 9.10 karmic - should I use the ATI or RADEON? | 11:44 |
| muep__ | sassyn: what radeon model? | 11:44 |
| sassyn | VendorName "ATI Technologies Inc" | 11:44 |
| sassyn | BoardName "ES1000" | 11:44 |
| sassyn | BusID "PCI:5:5:0" | 11:44 |
| muep__ | sassyn: doesn't say much about the GPU model | 11:45 |

| organichicken | hi everyone.. i recently upgraded from 8.10 to 9.10 and am missing the "Advanced" tab under System > Administration, is there anyway to retrieve or access it? | 11:46 |
| python_root | zetheroo: good to see u back | 11:46 |
| zetheroo | python_root: hi again | 11:46 |
| zetheroo | python_root: I just got my slow system issue fixed ... | 11:47 |
| wgrant | organichicken: There was never an Advanced option under System -> Administration. Are you sure that's what you mean? | 11:47 |
| muep__ | sassyn: I'm trying to find out if that model is very new, or very old... I'm not familiar with it at all | 11:47 |
| om26er | zetheroo, how? | 11:47 |
| python_root | zetheroo: what u did ? | 11:47 |
| zetheroo | python_root: I had to update to the latest Nvidia drivers ... now its flying | 11:47 |
| zetheroo | om26er: ah there you are | 11:47 |
| python_root | zetheroo: Commands ? | 11:47 |
| zetheroo | om26er: i was looking for you :) | 11:47 |
| om26er | zetheroo, i was installing new system | 11:48 |

| Carsten- | hey guys... just tried to login to my new ubuntu installation, was able to earlier today no problem, now i am unable to get by GDM if i drop to a command line, I can login ok, but GDM wont let me pass. Does anyone have any ideas re this? | 11:48 |
| organichicken | wgrant: i'm actually trying to change the start up options to prompt for password at boot, and a search led me to the "advanced" tab... | 11:48 |
| om26er | zetheroo, what was the solution | 11:48 |
| python_root | zetheroo: check my blog yoo www.club-open-source.blogspot.com | 11:48 |
| zetheroo | om26er: thanks so much ... i knew it had something to do with the graphic drivers | 11:49 |
| python_root | zetheroo: No indel default graphics | 11:49 |
| zetheroo | python_root: looking ... oh ok | 11:49 |
| wgrant | organichicken: You mean System->Administration->Login Screen? | 11:49 |
| muep__ | sassyn: it's very old. fglrx doesn't support old cards, only those from the R600 generation onwards, meaning HD2000 series and newer | 11:49 |
| sassyn | muep__: Where did u got this info? | 11:49 |
| python_root | zetheroo: saw my blog ? | 11:49 |
| d9500 | muep__, http://ati.amd.com/products/server/compare.html says it's a server gpu, and judging from the left to right chronological order, i'd say probably a newer one | 11:49 |
| zetheroo | python_root: yes :) you a puppy linux user? | 11:50 |
| d9500 | but not high performance or new | 11:50 |
| muep__ | zetheroo: it's from 2006 | 11:50 |
| d9500 | in comparison to their desktop radeon cards. | 11:50 |
| muep__ | zetheroo: and it seems it's based on the R100 generation | 11:50 |
| python_root | No that is written by my partner | 11:50 |
| kazoo | how do i start lighttpd? | 11:50 |
| zetheroo | muep__: ummm ... what? | 11:50 |

| d9500 | muep__, it may be from 2006, but it's still being sold in new servers. system76 uses it in all their servers. i knew i'd seen the name before | 11:52 |

For example: i customize the keyboard (to use specific characters from my language). all goes good, until i restart / shutdown the PC. after that, its like it resets the customization i have made. any ideas why this is happening ? if i check the keyboard settings, all the modifications i made are there, but simply do not apply while pressing the previously assigned | 11:52 |

| zetheroo | bazhang: sure ... was not "advertising" btw! :-/ | 11:53 |
| muep__ | d9500: and since it's more for servers, why would fglrx need to support it? | 11:53 |
| om26er | luiX_, i don't know anything about that | 11:53 |
| karix | hi | 11:53 |
| kazoo | !lamp | `brandon` | 11:53 |
| ubottu | `brandon`: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 11:53 |
| python_root | zetheroo: Cool i need content i will format it i was thinking to start some thing like tutorial posts | 11:53 |
| sassyn | <muep__> Are u talking 2 me? | 11:53 |
| d9500 | muep__, wasn't suggesting that fglrx would. actually, from what i've read of fglrx, i'm not sure i'd want to use it at all unless i had to | 11:53 |
| bazhang | python_root, offtopic please also | 11:53 |
| luiX_ | om26er, ok, thanks :D | 11:54 |
| muep__ | sassyn: as far as I know, your graphics card isn't supported by fglrx | 11:54 |
| zetheroo | python_root: we should probably continue this in a PM | 11:54 |
| muep__ | sassyn: so the only logical option is to use the radeon driver for it | 11:54 |
| karix | just got a quick question.. don't know if this is the best place to ask though. Has anyone had much luck getting wine to work with games in the 64bit install of Karmic? | 11:54 |
| sassyn | muep__ fglrx mean Graphics library support (version) | 11:54 |
| Dr_Willis | karix: works for me | 11:54 |
| vivid | karix, works for me | 11:54 |
| wgrant | muep__, sassyn: In addition, that card does not do 3D, so there would be little benefit in using fglrx. | 11:55 |
| muep__ | sassyn: fglrx is the non-free graphics driver from AMD/Ati | 11:55 |
| om26er | !wfm | 11:55 |
| python_root | zetheroo: i agree | 11:55 |
| ubottu | Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ | 11:55 |
| karix | damn, must just be me :/ I can't get physx to install | 11:55 |
| karix | and borderlands needs it | 11:55 |
| Dr_Willis | om26er: but thats what he asked for,,,, :) | 11:55 |
| vivid | karix, did you read appdb? you should probably ask about that in winehq | 11:55 |
| JonathanEllis | I am installing Net Book Remix on an Eee PC which only has a 4GB flash drive. How much space do I need to allocate to the root partition so I can make the home partition as big as possible? | 11:55 |

| sassyn | wgrant, muep__: Supported by ATI Catalyst™ Professional Edition - What does it mean? | 11:56 |
| Dr_Willis | om26er: :) | 11:56 |

| frittmann | Hi all, I'm new to this channel, and new to Ubuntu. I am just experimenting with it at the moment, and have a Hardy Heron installation running under VirtualBox on my Acer Aspire One netbook. | 11:56 |

| khunt | I created a .desktop file. Deleted it from the menu. Now id I put the same .desktop file in /usr/share/applications it will not work unless I rename the file to something different than the original | 11:56 |
| khunt | is this a bug? | 11:57 |
| bidossessi | frittmann: welcome. so how do you like it? having any problems anyone here can help you with? | 11:57 |
| jrib | khunt: how did you delete it from the menu? | 11:57 |
| ardchoille | khunt: .desktop files should also work in ~/.local/share/applications | 11:57 |
| khunt | right click edit menu | 11:58 |
| frittmann | Hi bidossessi, thanks for the welcome. I'm really liking it so far. Had a problem getting the USB going at first, but that was a VM problem, not a Ubuntu thing. No, I'm just here to learn. | 11:58 |
| qp_pq | how do I get antialiasing on xfce ? | 11:58 |
| khunt | frittmann I have an AA1 Im using karmic netbook remix on that runs well all hardware works oob | 11:58 |
| qp_pq | I want to get antialiased fonts | 11:59 |
| qp_pq | my eyes are hurtingwithout | 11:59 |
| jrib | khunt: as ardchoille hinted, that creates a new .desktop in ~/.local/share/applications/ with the same name that contains something like "hidden=true" and .desktop files in ~/.local/share/applications/ with the same name as one in /usr/share/applications/ take precedence | 11:59 |
| bidossessi | is xfce even being updated anymore? | 11:59 |
| frittmann | khunt, I installed Hardy rather than Karmic only because I had the *.iso lying around. :) I will have a look at Karmic later. | 12:00 |

| plustax | I uninstalled libvisual though by accident | 12:04 |

| === |Myxb| is now known as Myxb | ||
| jrib | pll8020: what ubuntu version? | 12:04 |
| wgrant | plustax: nvidia's proprietary drivers (which cannot be modified by the Ubuntu developers) do not support the standard methods of display configuration. You want to click 'Yes' on that dialog. | 12:04 |
| ardchoille | ward-: open a terminal and type "mount" without quotes | 12:05 |

| ward- | python_root, so how can i just mount it? | 12:06 |
| ward- | like really mount it | 12:06 |
| ward- | lol | 12:06 |
| jrib | bidossessi: try links2 and w3m | 12:06 |
| ghostlines | can virt-manager make snapshots of vm's too? | 12:06 |
| d9500 | bidossessi, links is simple and fast, elinks offers better rendering of pages, imho, but seemed slower on my machine. really, it comes down to what you like better | 12:06 |
| python_root | ward-: mounting is done for external drivers what v do is only virtual | 12:07 |
| bidossessi | d9500: i'm in console right now, and i was just looking for options to try | 12:07 |

| ward- | thanx ardchoille | 12:08 |
| ardchoille | yw | 12:08 |
| bidossessi | ward-: google for "mount iso linux" | 12:08 |
| wgrant | ward-: You could also right click on the ISO and say "Open with Archive Mounter" | 12:08 |
| Summerrose | PhompAng: :P | 12:09 |
| wgrant | ward-: Then it will appear in the file browser sidebar. | 12:09 |
| bidossessi | i forgot the needed mount options but i know they include a loopback device | 12:09 |
| ardchoille | wgrant: that's what he did | 12:09 |

| JediMaster | hey guys, I'm running ubuntu on some virtual servers (xen based), and the kernels installed are currently linux-image-2.6.xx-xx-xen, when upgrading to karmic, the machines wouldn't boot complaining that they couldn't mount /proc, am I right in thinking that it's installed a generic kernel image that doesn't work with xen and that I should install linux-image-virtual before rebooting after the upgrade? | 12:28 |
| smwn | No | 12:28 |
| ikonia | blackshell: if you re-install the windows nltd with the recovery CD - then re-install grub | 12:28 |
| smwn | i typed in the wrong channel | 12:28 |
| evap | anyone knw how to install wow under slackware | 12:28 |
| ikonia | JediMaster: the generic kernel should be fine for acting as a xen guest | 12:28 |
| blackshell | ikonia:what is windows recovery cd? | 12:28 |
| bazhang | evap, ask in #slackware | 12:29 |
| ikonia | blackshell: your windows install CD | 12:29 |
| bazhang | whoops | 12:29 |
| JediMaster | ikonia, that's what I thought but I've seen this same issue elsewhere on the net with karmic and xen | 12:29 |
| gavin-hu | which ubuntu server version support intel xeon x3220 processor . Does ubunte server amd64 suppot it ! any help ? Thanks | 12:29 |

| blackshell | ikonia:i dint have that option in the xp cd | 12:29 |
| ikonia | JediMaster: I've not tried it with xen so can't speak from experience, but on paper it "should" be fine, is the complaint just proc | 12:29 |
| ikonia | blackshell: if you boot from it and click install it will offer you recovery mode or fix install, ##windows can help you with that | 12:30 |
| JediMaster | ikonia, what are the differences with -xen and -virtual kernels compared to the standard generic one? | 12:30 |
| smwn | I disagree they are fairly stupid in ##windows | 12:30 |
| JediMaster | ikonia, yeah, I can't remember the exact error, but it couldn't mount /proc and just plain wouldn't boot at all | 12:30 |
| smwn | they just debate what OS is better all day | 12:30 |

| William-Ubuntu | any one can help me , i can't mail to root, | 12:33 |
| ikonia | William-Ubuntu: what happens | 12:33 |
| JediMaster | ikonia, I just don't want to reinstall (the default images are 8.04 LTS) and upgrade all the way to 9.10 to have it not mount /proc (and because I can't get to grub in the console I can't fix anything at all) | 12:34 |
| ikonia | JediMaster: ah yes, I can see how that would be tricky | 12:34 |
| William-Ubuntu | i can use root to mail to a normal user, two normal can mail each other too, but i can not mail to root use normal or root self | 12:34 |

| bazhang | ciphergoth, lenny? | 12:35 |
| JediMaster | ikonia, so in theory then, the -virtual kernel image shouldn't fix this /proc not mounting issue? | 12:35 |

| python_root | eberry: check ur system time buddy | 13:02 |

| Take0n | is there a way to hide a specific window from taskbar or force to notification aera even if it doesn't support it? | 13:02 |
| ciphergoth | and select Configuration: Keep synchronized with Internet servers | 13:03 |
| JonathanEllis | eberry: Just looking for daylight saving time. Havent found it yet. As a side issue I suggest you edit your ntp.conf to include three time servers 0.ch.pool.ntp.org, 1.ch.pool.ntp.org and 2.ch.pool.ntp.org That way your ntp time will be more reliable (in case one of the servers fail) and you are getting time from a more local source so there will be less jitter. | 13:03 |
| dutchbuntu | chu__: than make a quick trip to the nearest store to buy a CDR | 13:03 |
| ciphergoth | JonathanEllis: I think it's preferable to recommend using the GUI tools | 13:04 |
| chu__ | I can live with beta until then :p | 13:04 |
| chu__ | Anyway, cheers. | 13:04 |
| eberry | cipher_goth: I'm not sure what you want me to do there. There's no way to "check system time" in Time and Date | 13:04 |

| ciphergoth | eberry: what revision of Ubuntu are you using/ | 13:04 |
| eberry | JonathanEllis: I can do that, but how do I update my time? | 13:04 |
| eberry | ciphergoth: Karmic | 13:04 |
| ciphergoth | OK. In time and date, click on the keys to unlock | 13:05 |
| eberry | ciphergoth: done | 13:05 |
| ciphergoth | eberry: What's under "Configuration" | 13:05 |
| Mwa | How do I control the screen brightness on my netbook? The brighter/darker keys do nothing and I can barely see the screen with the sun where it is | 13:05 |

| eberry | ciphergoth: Time Zone: Europe/Zurich, Configuration: Keep synchronized with Internet servers | 13:06 |
| ciphergoth | OK, excellent. Click on "Select servers" | 13:07 |
| eberry | ciphergoth: ok | 13:07 |
| JonathanEllis | eberry: Here is something that might help with DST http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=150472. To change your system time, go to |System|Administration|Time and date and change it manually there. I was thinking there was a conflict with your system time and local time but I see the time difference is in the wrong direction. Do you know if ntp is actually changing your time? | 13:07 |

| ciphergoth | what does it say your "offset" is? | 13:09 |
| eberry | ciphergoth: I am using pool.ntp.org | 13:09 |
| JonathanEllis | eberry: Fair enough but ntp waits a long time before it steps the clock if you are more than a few seconds out. Its usually easier to set the clock manually and then set ntp to keep the clock correct | 13:09 |
| eberry | ciphergoth: Local time is actually 2:10pm | 13:10 |

| ciphergoth | eberry: then I think JonathanEllis has it | 13:11 |

| JediMaster | ikonia, as far as I could see the -virtual linux image didn't install a -xen kernel | 13:31 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Soyo: you should then restart networking and the settings wil be in place | 13:31 |
| Anorien | dutchbuntu: thank you | 13:31 |
| ikonia | JediMaster: I don't think there is a -xen kernel any more (not %100 certain on that though ) | 13:31 |
| Soyo | actually I did not need to restart networking to get it to work | 13:31 |
| ikonia | JediMaster: if you do a search do you see a xen kernel ? | 13:32 |

| areay | ikonia, maybe i need to consider replacing nis with something else then... i can see this becoming a problem... (i'm running firefox logged in somewhere else, which means i can't run it here) | 13:35 |

| dAnon1 | yep | 13:35 |
| ikonia | areay: what ? | 13:35 |
| ActionParsnip1 | dAnon1: did you add your routers IP as the first DNS server? | 13:35 |
| ikonia | areay: running firefox on a remote machine shouldn't stop you running it locally | 13:35 |
| dAnon1 | no I didn't | 13:35 |
| JediMaster | ikonia, no, only -virtual and -ec2 | 13:35 |
| PaulieWalnuts | i installed ubuntu 9.10 to another partition trough unetbootin (using a iso on my c: partition). everything went fine, it installed i selected to install grub to /dev/sda. i have grub installed to mbr but it doesnt see the ubuntu install and i cant boot it | 13:35 |
| ikonia | JediMaster: as I suspected | 13:36 |
| ActionParsnip1 | dAnon1: then your systems only have opendns to resolve the other PCs name to an IP, so its failing | 13:36 |
| areay | ikonia, i'm sharing my home directory across the LAN... firefox's settings are all stored there so i get "firefox is already running, please kill it and try again" errors | 13:36 |

| ikonia | areay: ok , so just remove the lock file | 13:36 |
| Anorien | dutchbuntu: im getting this when running tasksel. tasksel: aptitude failed (100) | 13:36 |
| ActionParsnip1 | dAnon1: if you add your routers internal IP as a DNS server it should resolve the name, you can also bypass this and have an entry in /etc/hosts which can also resolve the name 9and faster as its local) | 13:37 |
| jongbergs | PaulieWalnuts: did you install Ubuntu on the same partition in which unetbootin boot files is located? | 13:37 |
| areay | ikonia, good idea i was getting tired of epiphany... any ideas where i can find it? | 13:37 |
| ikonia | areay: that could also mean you're not running in any other machines but you do have a stale lock file | 13:37 |

| JediMaster | ikonia, hmm I've removed all the kernels and installed linux-image-virtual and it still says that it's ignoring the non-xen kernel when update-grub runs | 13:38 |
| PaulieWalnuts | jongbergs : i installed it to a separate ext4 partition. my hd setup is : sda1 (Windows 7 System Reserved boot partition) sda2 (Drive C:) sda3 (ext4 / ubuntu) sda4 (swap for ubuntu). selected install grub to sda during install. i have grub in mbr already and i can boot windows 7 but not ubuntu | 13:38 |

| putrycy | One more question: I would like to compile aMule (I'm going to tamper with it's sources so I don't want to install it using distribution package). Is it possible to (typing some caommand?) download all sources needed to build aMule? I come from FreeBSD where ports system has such as a functionality. That's why I'm asking | 13:52 |

| jongbergs | Anorien: ok, that should also work, what i meant is that, in synaptic, you to the Edit menu, selct Mark packages by task, then it will show a list of packages by task, then you should see LAMP Server among the list. :) | 14:11 |
| bazhang | ong, have you tried the alternate cd | 14:11 |

| Spixx | maybe got something todo with graphics do you have the drivers installed correctly? | 14:21 |
| JonathanEllis | duergar: Yes virtualbox is free. 512MB is not much RAM and virtualbox needs to have RAM dedicated to it which will slow down everything else while its running. But you could try installing it and see how it goes. Its less drastic than resizing partitions and then installing windows. Trouble with installing windows AFTER ubuntu is that the windows installer will overwrite your master boot record and then you wont be able to boot ubuntu at all until | 14:21 |

| JonathanEllis | ActionParsnip1: Thanks. Can you just confirm nfs is a better way to go than Samba? | 14:34 |
| markbaas | kwinz, i dont think so, i think network-manager will keep disturbing your connect. You better try gnome-ppp/wvdial for 3G | 14:34 |

| jongbergs | kleftisx: but if you boot into live cd would you encounter the same problem? | 14:34 |
| === bintang_ is now known as hamster | ||
| ciphergoth | JonathanEllis: not sure if you got an answer to this one, but: if you don't want to use Samba or NFS, have you considered sshfs? | 14:35 |
| Soyo | Pongo is trying to do something with multiple partitions if I remember correctly | 14:35 |
| ActionParsnip1 | JonathanEllis: neither is better, nor worse. They both have advantages and disadvantages | 14:35 |
| kleftisx | jongbergs : u mean just to run from live cd? i dont think that i will encounter the same problem. Because when i istalled ubuntu it was everything normaly. after enabling the restricted devices and making the recomended updates. When i reboot i got black screen | 14:36 |
| === baytes-vm|sleep is now known as baytes-vm|work | ||
| JonathanEllis | ciphergoth: Im not sure what to use, but I read somewhere that nfs is faster than samba and I am not using windows so installing something for windows seems unnecessary (objectionable even!) | 14:36 |
| bintang_ | /j hqj | 14:36 |
| JonathanEllis | ActionParsnip1: Is there a guide where I can read the pros and cons of each to help me choose? I thought nfs was the default unix method so thats why I thought of using it | 14:37 |
| ciphergoth | JonathanEllis: Not suggesting samba but sshfs | 14:37 |
| ActionParsnip1 | JonathanEllis: samba works nice and fast here, i think you should read up on both and compare to your requirements | 14:37 |
| markbaas | is there anyway to filter all these connection notification, i can hardly read the text what is going on | 14:37 |
| === Guest77861 is now known as meff | ||
| grawity | ActionParsnip1: Except Samba is a little hard with Unix filesystem things (permissions, ACLs, etc) | 14:37 |
| ActionParsnip1 | markbaas: if you hide the join/part messages it will be less | 14:38 |
| IdleOne | pongo: you will need to resize D: and then format the 15GB to ext3 using !Gparted then during the install select the advanced setting and select the 15GB partition as / | 14:38 |
| JonathanEllis | ciphergoth: So that gives me a third choice! Sheesh! What do you think of sshfs? | 14:38 |
| mikeg3 | Where can I get instructions on using the failsafe video driver in ubuntu 9.10, please? I am rapidly getting lost in details. | 14:38 |
| === meff is now known as Guest80127 | ||
| jongbergs | kleftisx: ok, even though you get into black screen, do you think the boot process continues? | 14:38 |
| ciphergoth | JonathanEllis: it's not the fastest but it's convenient and secure | 14:38 |
| ActionParsnip1 | grawity: true but if default file access is ok for new files then its fine | 14:38 |
| pongo | yes i would like to install ubuntu on my D: parttition where i have 15 Gb free , i also have a C: partition with vista and a hidden partition on my sigle HDD.........i want to be able to dual boot with vista | 14:38 |
| yml | hello | 14:38 |
| ciphergoth | because you don't have to do any configuration on the server besides enabling ssh which you've probably done anyway | 14:38 |
| bastidrazor | JonathanEllis: i use sshfs to mount a /movie directory to my media server. simple and easy and is fast enough to stream movies with. | 14:39 |
| nikki93 | I have a little bit of a problem. :/ Some kid came home and wanted me to put a game in his USB stick. The game was on my windows side. I booted into windows. I tried to open his stick. It said, 'needs formatting', I said, 'ok format'. Supposedly that was my Linux /home partition, not his USB stick. | 14:39 |
| ciphergoth | and similarly you can remote mount an sshfs filesystem without root privs | 14:39 |
| Rockiest | what better ubuntu 2008 or 2009 ? | 14:39 |
| nikki93 | Can I recover the data? | 14:39 |
| nikki93 | At least partially. | 14:39 |
| nikki93 | A lot of it is backed up.. | 14:39 |
| grawity | Rockiest: There is no Ubuntu 2008 and no Ubuntu 2009 | 14:39 |
| JonathanEllis | I also read about Zeroconf and now I am confused :-$. Would like an opinion or opinions on what people think is easiest, fastest and safest to share documents and music between my ubuntu laptop and desktop machine. | 14:39 |
| kleftisx | jongbergs : i think works from 2-3 seconds after the black screen because of watching the hd and cpu led. and also the keyboard leds not working. except the Scroll lock led that is flashing | 14:39 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Rockiest: best what? | 14:39 |
| Halitech | Rockiest, you are talking about 4 versions in 2008 and 2009, which one are you referring to | 14:39 |
| m4rtin | pongo: if you don't want to mess up your partitions, use Wubi to install from inside Windows | 14:39 |
| grawity | JonathanEllis: Zeroconf is a very different thing from samba/nfs. It's used for different purposes. | 14:39 |
| ciphergoth | JonathanEllis: IMHO, unless you have special requirements, use sshfs | 14:39 |
| ciphergoth | Places/Connect to Server/SSH | 14:40 |
| yml | I am discovering empathy and so far I am impressed. I am playing with the "share my desktop" feature with a jabber (gmail) account | 14:40 |
| TheTom | After upgrading to karmic, I can't change colorscheme in byobu. I get an errormessage, but only part of it is displayed. I goes like: Error: ~/.byobu/profile exists, bit is not a... | 14:40 |
| ciphergoth | if you can log into it, you can read/write files | 14:40 |
| ActionParsnip1 | JonathanEllis: can even mount sshfs too ;) | 14:40 |
| Rockiest | i have 8.04 now, is there any reason to switch to 9.04 ? | 14:40 |
| jcrawford1 | so who here uses empathy for IRC? | 14:40 |
| JonathanEllis | ciphergoth: My requirements are simple. File sharing with laptop, possibly automatic synchronisation though I have been burnt in the past with the windows version | 14:40 |
| pongo | the thing is i cant boot into vista at the moment, is there another way , and why did side by side install go missing | 14:40 |
| ciphergoth | jcrawford1: I do, not sure it's wise but I do | 14:40 |
| kwinz | markbaas: Gnome network manager has 2 checkboxes when you rightclick on the applet, one of it is named "enable wireless". When I uncheck it wpa_supplicant seems ok, but if i reastart the checkbox is set again. Is there a way to permanently diable it? | 14:41 |
| Halitech | Rockiest, depends on your hardware and needs | 14:41 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Rockiest: if its not broken, don't fix it | 14:41 |
| yml | I the screen is shared but it is not refreshed when I move the window around | 14:41 |
| ciphergoth | then use sshfs | 14:41 |
| kwinz | +s | 14:41 |
| TheTom | jcrawford1: more people should use some empathy on irc. | 14:41 |
| jcrawford | TheTom, why is that? | 14:41 |
| yml | does someone know where I can set the paramater that control the refresh rate ? | 14:41 |
| jongbergs | kleftisx: what video card do you have? | 14:41 |
| jcrawford | I am not sure I like the UI for IRC heh | 14:41 |
| markbaas | ActionParsnip1, If i only knew how to do that | 14:41 |
| jcrawford | does not support /join wtf | 14:41 |
| ciphergoth | you can use rsync for automatic synchronization, though best not to do that on top of sshfs but directly | 14:41 |
| n8tuser | JonathanEllis-> i second ciphergoth recommendations of sshfs | 14:41 |
| ciphergoth | jcrawford: indeed | 14:41 |
| kleftisx | jongbergs : ati hd4890 | 14:41 |
| TheTom | jcrawford: it helps communication somtimes | 14:42 |
| IdleOne | jcrawford: Empathy does not support /join at the momment but I believe that is being worked on. | 14:42 |
| m4rtin | pongo: did you resize a partition? If so, you'll have to use Vista's recovery option so it can see the partition again | 14:42 |
| TheTom | haha | 14:42 |
| kwinz | markbaas: login and logout is ok too, only restart enables the checkbox again, which I do not want | 14:42 |
| QRZ | Rockiest: 8.04 is an LTS release. 9.10 is not. At this point, 8.04 will be supported beyond the support cycle of 9.10. So if you are happy with 8.04, stick with it! | 14:42 |
| jcrawford | how can you call yourself an irc client when you dont support /join rofl | 14:42 |

| jcrawford | and i know there is a UI for it :) | 14:43 |
| JonathanEllis | ciphergoth n8tuser ActionParsnip1: Thanks very much for pointing me in the right directions for reading. I will look at rsync as well. Does that use its own file sharing protocol? | 14:43 |
| pongo | no i havent started the install yet no resizing done , doesnt that make you lose data on the whole hdd | 14:43 |
| markbaas | kwinz, what do you mean? | 14:43 |
| lilyshu | Snausages : in terminal type gconf-editor | 14:43 |
| lilyshu | Snausages : then go to Apps/metacity/general and change button_layout to close,minimize,maximize:menu | 14:43 |
| IdleOne | jcrawford: Empathy is not an irc client. it is IM client which is trying to also support irc. use irssi or xchat | 14:43 |
| Snausages | lilyshu: I don't have an "apps" | 14:43 |
| TheTom | jcrawford: i just can't see why people would need a _graphical_ ui for an irc session, really | 14:43 |

| markbaas | Yes en how in xchat filter all the enter/part messages | 14:44 |
| jcrawford | disappearedng, ssh user@host -p 2222 | 14:44 |
| ActionParsnip1 | IdleOne: it is used to connect to an IRC server and can communicate as a client to the servers service | 14:44 |
| === Guest80127 is now known as meff | ||
| bazhang | markbaas, right click channel name | 14:44 |
| n8tuser | JonathanEllis-> rsync is not a file sharing protocol as intended.. remote synching is the simple explain i can come up with | 14:44 |
| ActionParsnip1 | IdleOne: so it is an irc client | 14:44 |
| markbaas | bazhang, got it thx | 14:44 |
| lilyshu | Snausages : really? thats odd | 14:44 |
| bastidrazor | disappearedng: the other machine needs to be listening on port 2222 .. then you ssh -p2222 user@hostip | 14:44 |
| fasta | TheTom, graphical is superior by definition assuming you don't live in the stone age anymore, that said, X still can fail, remote desktop can fail even easier... | 14:45 |
| IdleOne | ActionParsnip1: yeah I guess so but the main goal is to be a alternative to IM clients. IRC is/was not high on the priority list for Empathy | 14:45 |
| jongbergs | kleftisx: have you done this already? sudo apt-get remove xorg-driver-fglrx | 14:46 |
| fasta | TheTom, that most graphical clients assumes their users are stupid and don't implement the most basic feature, well, I cannot help that. | 14:46 |
| Snausages | lilyshu: seems like an important thing to be missing I suppose... pardon my n00bness, barely 3 weeks in with ubuntu. Maybe this is something that's different about this netbook remix? | 14:46 |
| ActionParsnip1 | IdleOne: true but doesnt make it any less | 14:46 |
| === meff is now known as Guest68176 | ||
| kwinz | markbaas: I mean, that if I disable the "Enable Wireless" checkbox in Gnome Network Manager, everything works fine with wpa_supplincant and I can still use wwan und vpn with the applet, I can even login and logout, but as soon as I restart, the checkbox is set again | 14:46 |
| grawity | TheTom: Graphical UIs are quite convienent - Xchat, even (eww) mIRC... especially once you are in 150 or more channels. Switching those in irssi can become a pain. (Fortunately I haven't reached 20 yet.) | 14:46 |
| kleftisx | jongbergs : when i do sudo apt-ger remove xorg-driver-fglrx and then restart ubuntu and try to load again, i got ubuntu starting in console and not gnome | 14:47 |
| IdleOne | ActionParsnip1: Still think they should leave well enough alone and not try to reinvent the wheel. there are dedicated irc clients that work well. | 14:47 |
| jcrawford | going to give empathy a try i guess for a bit anyway :) | 14:47 |
| fasta | grawity, 150 channels? Uh, who does that? | 14:47 |
| zauber | I'm worried I may have totally misunderstood the Linux permission model. Someone explain, please: I added user www-data to my group 'xmpl'. I have a directory 'mydir' with 775 permissions owned by xmpl:xmpl. But php scripts (running as www-data) fail to create new files in mydir - throwing "permission denied" errors. What's up with that? | 14:47 |
| markbaas | kwinz, yes that is the problem, it integrates with the system, maybe through dbus you can get it to disable the wireless on startup | 14:47 |
| ActionParsnip1 | IdleOne: if a user can do multiple chats with one client and want to, they can. or they can leave the functionality and use a dedicated irc only client | 14:47 |
| zauber | I would have thought that since www-data is member of the group xmpl, and permissions are 775, it could create files in mydir | 14:47 |
| grawity | fasta: I know a few people. (One's a Wikipedia admin, has to be in a lot of channels) | 14:47 |
| TheTom | fasta: uh. irc is the stoneage. i type text, why would i take my hands off the keyboard? i use X, of course, but i don't really need menus and icons when in an irc session. | 14:48 |
| Fenix|work | Greetings and salutations. I'm having rsyslogd issues with $AllowedSender. I have $AllowedSender UDP, 172.16.0.0/16 in one of my config files yet in my syslog log file it stats that it UDP message from disallowed sender discarded. | 14:48 |

| Fenix|work | that sender is in the $AllowedSender list. | 14:48 |
| pongo | i just dont know any more its the notorious bsod after a vista automatic update with crcdisk.sys as the last thing that loads in safe mode but inly a symptom for lot of different things and no solution a found sofar..... im no expert but i can be smthg to do with HDD drivers?? i think i saw a messaga saying a SATA driver is postponed for install after restart and after that i couldnt boot | 14:48 |
| ciphergoth | zauber: you very slightly misunderstand | 14:48 |
| fasta | TheTom, Emacs is also graphical, but you can do (setq tool-bar nil) or somethign similar. | 14:48 |
| IdleOne | ActionParsnip1: absolutely. not trying to say the choices should be limited. A user should have the choice to use whatever app they like. | 14:48 |

| ciphergoth | zauber: when you log in, the login process sets the process that it launches to be in the correct groups | 14:49 |
| zauber | jonbergs: I want to keep the owner as xmpl, because of file uploads (so I don't need to keep logging in and chowning | 14:49 |
| ciphergoth | The process that launches Apache probably just sets the groups to be www-data and ignores /etc/group | 14:49 |
| jongbergs | kleftisx: are you able to switch to virtual terminal by pressing ctrl+alt+f1? | 14:49 |
| m4rtin | pongo: you'll want to fix that before doing anything that might compound your boot problems (like changing partitions) | 14:49 |

| wrapster | i tried to find /boot/grub/stage1 | 14:50 |
| markbaas | kwinz, i found dbus quite different, but this way you can send messages to apps. Maybe alternative approach would be messing with /etc/network/interfaces | 14:50 |
| lilyshu | Snausages : i just check my UNR, i can find apps with gconf-editor. :D | 14:50 |
| wrapster | but then it says file not found | 14:50 |
| zauber | ciphergoth: yeah, makes sense, but it's surprising... would have never guessed it. | 14:50 |
| Mandrew | hello imtrying to install ubuntu 9.10 on a usb-stick from my imac and i dont want to put the grub on the imacs hdd i want to put it on the usb but i want to chose when i boot up anyone that can make sense on what i just wrote lol | 14:51 |
| ciphergoth | zauber: it's probably configurable in Apache though | 14:51 |
| kleftisx | jongbergs : u mean to remove xorg and try ctrl+alt+f1? | 14:51 |
| ciphergoth | Apache launches as root, takes port 80, then drops privileges | 14:51 |
| markbaas | kwinz, check on google for examples how to setup wpa network for that... i think network-manager will leave the interface alone if it is configured manually (im not sure) | 14:51 |
| wrapster | so now what im doing is using a solaris disk to boot into grub and manually choose the partition on which grub exists ... | 14:51 |
| zauber | ciphergoth: ah, I would hope so. Otherwise it seems to make the whole point of managing groups in linux go away | 14:51 |
| wrapster | could anyone please help | 14:51 |
| ciphergoth | /etc/apache2/envvars | 14:51 |

| kwinz | markbaas: installing gnome network manager did not change my /etc/network/interfaces at all | 14:52 |
| pongo | Ill try that thanks but i already lost hope on vista......one more thing do you happen to a heve a tipp on how to access my hidden bios setting in order to set SATA to IDE cause on my acer im struggling with here its a phoenix bios with literally no advanced options.........bye and thanks for your time | 14:52 |
| zauber | also running exec("whoami") in php through browser confirms this | 14:52 |
| jongbergs | kleftisx: if ubuntu seems to start but unable to load gnome, let's try if we could switch to virtual console | 14:52 |
| IdleOne | wrapster: sounds like you need to re-install !grub or !grub2 depending on which you are using | 14:52 |
| markbaas | kwinz, did you change things in interfaces yet then? | 14:52 |
| Snausages | pongo: which acer? | 14:53 |
| pongo | ]aspire 5112 wlmi last bios 3.13 | 14:53 |
| markbaas | kwinz, network manager is not to change this file, however it reads it | 14:53 |
| kwinz | markbaas: it is still the same, so the network manager did not alter it and must interfere with wlan somepoint else | 14:53 |
| wrapster | IdleOne: yeah.. but now the issue is .. I have removed linux distro so actually grub was booting windows... | 14:53 |
| SDuensin | Good morning. I think I've found a bug/issue. Something changed so *.desktop shortcuts need to be +x to work. Except good practice is to mount /home noexec. So no more working desktop shortcuts. :-( | 14:53 |

| ciphergoth | zauber: look into the apache config language, see if there's a way to set extra groups | 14:53 |

| ageeb | ActionParsnip1, i don't fear it all... i don't know it :D | 15:02 |
| markbaas | kwinz, yes but i dont get it, you want network-manager to touch the interface, but not to configure it | 15:02 |
| ActionParsnip1 | ageeb: as you use it you'll learn :D | 15:02 |
| markbaas | kwinz, i'd guess you just want network-manager not to touch it | 15:02 |
| jongbergs | shockrates: then sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm then reboot | 15:02 |
| markbaas | kwinz, which would be the same as network-manager can't manage my device | 15:03 |

| markbaas | kwinz, but you can still use network-manager for you other interfaces | 15:03 |

| === meff is now known as Guest1650 | ||
| kwinz | markbaas: as configuring static would not allow me to get my ip over dhcp | 15:06 |
| markbaas | kwinz, i think you have to take out the auto wlan0 from the interface, but i am not sure, look at google for that.. there must be a way | 15:06 |
| markbaas | kwinz, taking out auto, doesnt mean (i think) static ip | 15:06 |
| ActionParsnip1 | kwinz: auto wlan0 means bring the device up at boot, if you remove the auto line, it will be down at boot and you will have to manually bring it up | 15:07 |

| ActionParsnip1 | kwinz: if you add: auto wlan0 iface wlan0 inet dhcp | 15:07 |

| Oli`` | cyberkilla: It's probably done automatically on demand but I've got 4gigs of free ram and a gig in swap... seems a little silly to leave it there. | 15:16 |
| jongbergs | kleftisx: so you only have 1 partition dedicated to ubuntu..right? | 15:17 |
| kwinz | ActionParsnip1: and without network manager everything is working fine, my only problem is to tell network manager NOT to care about my wlan interface | 15:17 |

| cyberkilla | Oli``, : I only notice this when I come out of hibernation. | 15:17 |

| jongbergs | kleftisx: do you have any idea about chrooting? | 15:18 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Oli``: sets swappiness to 0 will make the system really try and use the ram more than swap for 5 seconds, thenset the swappiness value back | 15:18 |
| veraxx | does anyone know a program that would make it easy to replace the headers on the top of a bunch of script files? we have a few thousand program files with comments on the top and they want the format changed of the header, while retaining data inside of it | 15:18 |

| llutz | ubuntu_: you don want use chmod on non-unix-fs, use mount-options | 15:20 |

| === Guest45330 is now known as meff | ||
| ActionParsnip1 | DeeTah: using unchecked data may cause issues as bit errors in the right place will cause the system to go crazy, checking is essential to knowing you have a good file | 15:20 |
| erUSUL | ubuntu_: ntfs does not support unix permissions. what you see when you use unix tools on ntfs are "faked" permissions that get set at mount time | 15:20 |

| ActionParsnip1 | aaron11: oh it doesnt eject either way? | 15:37 |
| kostkon | ralchev, did you try again now that you have installed the restricted-extras. if not, try again with totem | 15:37 |
| ActionParsnip1 | aaron11: with a disk in or not? | 15:38 |
| ralchev | ah | 15:38 |
| kleftisx | jongbergs : im back | 15:38 |
| ralchev | kostkon, yes i tried now, it works lol :D | 15:38 |
| DeeTah | my kubuntu netbook install says it can't mount /cow. how to check why? | 15:38 |
| Talva | ok, i try aaron11 | 15:38 |
| ActionParsnip1 | flan_suse: it should but something isnt right so we need to investigate | 15:38 |
| kostkon | ralchev, nice | 15:38 |
| sipior | flan_suse: if a process is accessing any file in that filesystem, it won't be unmounted. | 15:38 |
| ActionParsnip1 | flan_suse: is there a CD in the drive? | 15:38 |
| flan_suse | ActionParsnip1, sudo eject /dev/sr0 works fine when there is a disc in the drive. (It unmounts first, then the drive opens up the tray.) | 15:38 |
| jongbergs | ActionParsnip1 aaron11 flan_suse : sudo eject -t should also work..AFAIK | 15:38 |
| hellyeah | cat b.txt | grep 2000 | wc -l > a.txt | 15:38 |
| ralchev | kostkon, default player now shows the menu and the chapters like it should be | 15:38 |
| flan_suse | ActionParsnip1, but when I press the "eject button" on my drive, nothing happens. | 15:39 |
| ralchev | kostkon, thank you again ;) | 15:39 |
| hellyeah | this command put 2000 and other character related to 200 put a.txt ? | 15:39 |
| kostkon | ralchev, :) | 15:39 |
| kleftisx | jongbergs : running now from live cd | 15:39 |
| ActionParsnip1 | flan_suse: ok, if you push the disk back in and let it mount. Then if you unmount it, does the button work ok? | 15:39 |
| flan_suse | ActionParsnip1, going to try now. | 15:39 |
| aaron11 | jongbergs--> He wants to eject from the button | 15:39 |
| flan_suse | ActionParsnip1, you mean manually unmount first, then push the eject button? | 15:39 |
| jongbergs | kleftisx: how do you managed to connect? | 15:39 |
| ActionParsnip1 | flan_suse: we just need to work out whenit works, when it doesnt sowe canpinpoint the issue | 15:39 |
| ActionParsnip1 | flan_suse: manually mount, then manually unmount, then button | 15:40 |
| aaron11 | ActionParsnip1--> Is there a need for a driver to do that? | 15:40 |
| kleftisx | jongbergs : i have download xchat using live cd. im currently in live session :P | 15:40 |

| ActionParsnip1 | aaron11: i think its a gconf thing, not a driver | 15:40 |
| QRZ | hellyeah: No. It will count the number of lines that contain the string, "2000" and write the numeric value to a file. | 15:40 |

| ActionParsnip1 | Infin1ty: want a nice script to do it for you? | 15:41 |
| kostkon | Infin1ty, then install it from the repos, including the plugin, and then run the update java alternatives cmd to set it as the default jvm | 15:42 |

| flan_suse | ActionParsnip1, when you say manually mount, you mean via the GUI? or via the terminal with sudo mount /dev/cdrom ? | 15:42 |
| Infin1ty | kostkon, i just realized that this actually makes ff crash | 15:42 |
| Infin1ty | ActionParsnip1, 64bit | 15:42 |

| hellyeah | but it erase all string in other file QRZ | 15:47 |

| flan_suse | ActionParsnip1, also, the label for the CD Drive doesn't change when I eject it. It still says "Data Disc" even though there is nothing inside. And if I replace it with another disc (with a different label) it still doesn't update, so it starts to get confusing. | 15:48 |

| flan_suse | ActionParsnip1, here is what I know. If I comment out the entry in fstab, my user owns the mounted volume in /media when I insert a disc. If I don't comment out the fstab entry, then root owns the mount. However, either way, I can only eject through the terminal or Nautilus. My drive's eject button does nothing when there is a disc in the drive. | 15:52 |

| flan_suse | ActionParsnip1, it's difficult to burn CDs because of this. | 15:57 |
| Roasted | Hey guys - I'm getting an error when trying to scan computers over the network with ClamAV. Something about no database files found in /usr/local/share/clamav. Everywhere I read it says just do an update of clamav, and I did, but the error persists. Any ideas? | 15:57 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Infin1ty: you could export the favourites etc then use the new profile | 15:57 |
| duffman | mbeierl: 5 for ubuntu 9.10 | 15:57 |
| ActionParsnip1 | flan_suse: i can imagine | 15:57 |
| PaulieWalnuts | ActionParsnip1, how can i boot my system ? i reinstalled grub to mbr and it doesnt see my frickin ubuntu install | 15:57 |
| capuzino | this is hopeless... | 15:57 |
| Infin1ty | ActionParsnip1, but then i lose all of my history.. and i don't think i'm going to do that on like 100 computers right now | 15:57 |
| ActionParsnip1 | PaulieWalnuts: no idea, ask the channel | 15:57 |
| Aciid | my karmic coala install did not find the old grub | 15:57 |
| Infin1ty | ActionParsnip1, it seems as canonical really screwed up this time | 15:57 |
| Aciid | to replace | 15:57 |
| Aciid | now I get error 15 | 15:57 |
| mbeierl | duffman: that's what I'm using here too and have not seen any lock out due to 5 attempts, but then did not check my network traffic either... | 15:57 |
| jrib | !wifi > capuzino | 15:57 |
| ubottu | capuzino, please see my private message | 15:57 |
| sipior | capuzino: you might try asking a better question, friend. | 15:57 |
| Aciid | where is my old grub? | 15:57 |
| flan_suse | ActionParsnip1, I actually destroyed a CD-RW from being used again. It tried to burn and erase the CD-RW at the same time, lol! Now nothing can even read the disc anymore, so I can't erase it. | 15:57 |

| PaulieWalnuts | guys | 15:58 |
| Infin1ty | ActionParsnip1, hmm, it's not firefox, it's something with canonical version only. | 15:58 |
| ActionParsnip1 | PaulieWalnuts: if you'd ask the channel first, you wouldnt have to ask twice | 15:58 |
| Aciid | hey | 15:58 |
| Aciid | where is my old grub? | 15:58 |
| YeTr2 | jongbergs: network manager keeps killing my network connection, so my responce till will be affected. | 15:58 |
| Infin1ty | ActionParsnip1, i got another 25 pcs with arch on them, never had that problem before, and when i ran jaunty, didn't have problems as well | 15:58 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Infin1ty: well it works with the new profile so the system is fine, its your profile which is preventing the java | 15:59 |
| duffman | mbeierl: well the policy is 3 retries for a lock out. but the thing is that i only have to type in 1 bad attempt and likewise makes about 5, from what i can tell | 15:59 |
| jongbergs | kleftisx: ok, can you do this again, sudo mount -t ext4 /dev/sda7 /mnt/sda7 | 15:59 |
| jongbergs | kleftisx: then ls -l /mnt/sda7 | 15:59 |
| Infin1ty | ActionParsnip1, but i wonder why..., everytime ff updates it self i will need to create a new profile on 100 pcs? it does not sounds like a workaround for me, it sounds as bug. | 15:59 |
| PaulieWalnuts | i installed karmic trough unetbootin to a hd partition. i have sda1 and sda2 windows partitions. sda3 is / ext4 and sda4 is swap. i installed grub to sda. now when the pc boots i cant see ubuntu in the list only Memory Test and Windows 7(loader). help pls | 15:59 |
| jongbergs | YeTr2: try this sudo update-rc.d -f remove network-manager | 16:00 |
| kleftisx | jongbergs : according to mtab, /dev/sda7 is mounted on /media/7d309a8f-cf59-4861-bb4d-3f195c8f4b5d | 16:00 |
| mbeierl | duffman: so it would appear from your config. I'm part of a corporate login here and I do not know what our lockout policy is, but I've not hit that before... I presume you've tried posting to the likewise mail lists? I find them to be somewhat responsive | 16:00 |
| === Guest54539 is now known as meff | ||
| ActionParsnip1 | Infin1ty: well you have settings and all manner of stuff in there so who knows. You will only need to rerun the binary to create the folder, put it on each and remove, then recreate the link to the new folder name, all of which can be easily scripted | 16:00 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Infin1ty: i've given up on the repo java, i use the java file from the folks whom make java | 16:01 |

| jongbergs | kleftisx: ok, let's unmount it first, type sudo umount /dev/sda7 | 16:01 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Infin1ty: you may find its just that one systems firefox profile at fault and the others are ok | 16:01 |
| jongbergs | kleftisx: then, sudo mount -t ext4 /dev/sda7 /mnt/sda7 | 16:01 |

| capuzino | can someone give me another way to try get connectbird work in ubuntu 9.10 | 17:37 |
| PaulieWalnuts | jongbergs, apparently the installer needs /cdrom umounted just to commit changes to partition table | 17:37 |
| jongbergs | PaulieWalnuts: yes | 17:37 |
| mr_boo | my ati card worked with 9.04 | 17:37 |
| mr_boo | but with 9.10 the "hardware drivers" interface won't let me activate fglrx | 17:38 |
| PaulieWalnuts | jongbergs, but installing without it will result in unbootable broken system. thing is where does it get the files for install from if /cdrom is umounted already before install begun? | 17:38 |

| unapiedra | hi. I had this massive problem recently (sat. and sun.) about the new kernel not booting anymore and with an older kernel I had about 96% of cpu used for X.

I just wanted to let you guys know b/c on Saturday there was someone with exactly the same symptoms. | 17:42 |

| Zeyelth | darrend: Problem is, this is just one of many issues with Linux; things are updated randomly, and you have to keep your software up-to-date constantly. I think this particular issue can be solved by a symlink though, if the .deb package itself didn't have that specific version as a dependency. The Jaunty package worked though :) | 18:03 |

| maff | Hey..I got a rather strange problem on my Acer 3810 running 9.10. When I installed it, sound was working fine from headphones and internal speakers. When I booted it today, suddenly sound just seems to work through headphones, when I unplug them, the speakers are still muted. Anyone got a hint on this? | 18:21 |

| llutz | Th-c: man scp (-P port) | 18:21 |
| darrend | phil-h: did you not just perform a clean install then? | 18:21 |
| jrib | Infin1ty: just delete what it installed. Another option is to reinstall what you installed using checkinstall and then remove that | 18:21 |
| Infin1ty | jrib, that's the problem i don't really understand how it works yet, i'm sure it updated some configs file perhaps as well? | 18:22 |
| BasiumDeJudas | can i reinstall ubuntu over the wabi withno problems. | 18:22 |
| jrib | Infin1ty: I'm not familiar with icu | 18:22 |

| thekaas | dave_ good. Type "sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/win". it will ask for the root password | 18:23 |
| llutz | Th-c: scp -P xx -r folder user@host:/dest (sry, typo) | 18:23 |
| darrend | phil-h: ok. I reinstall occasionally, but I never lose anything I care about as I have separate partitions that I don't let the installer touch. Like /home :) | 18:23 |
| jrib | thekaas, dave_: it asks for your user's password, not the root password | 18:23 |
| Th-c | llutz: yes I got it ... but I get permission denied | 18:23 |
| sayan | anyone knows why some packages are marked as <pkgname> in the output of apt-cache depends? | 18:24 |
| phil-h | darrend - haha, well if I re-install I'll get a shiny ext4 system, yes? It is quite tempting, also a chance to sort out my partitions. Might go for it - cheers for the advice :-) | 18:24 |

| llutz | Th-c:/home/public_html/folder is local or remote? | 18:27 |

| thekaas | dave_ how many "sda"'s where there when you listed them? | 18:49 |
| mobi-sheep | xckpd7: Basically, the developer wish to rename screen-profiles to byobu as to make itself more unique rather than an addon for screen. ;) | 18:49 |
| Vinceman | does anybody know anything about v4l2? | 18:50 |

| ubottu | TripleDES: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 19:12 |
| TripleDES | got it... | 19:13 |
| TripleDES | :) | 19:13 |
| leaf-sheep | Vinceman: There are gconf-editor but that's not really a registry. It just looks like i. It's a tool used to edit configuration database, desktop preferences, etc. | 19:13 |
| Horus | lol ubottu | 19:13 |
| thekaas | dave_, then you should be able to shrink your windows partition, if you have enough free space. Im not in linux right now so I cant help you find it right now. | 19:14 |
| TripleDES | I have two different netbooks, hp mini and medion akoya, both have problems with usb devices. The hp mini freezes when copying files from a usb massive storage device and medion is unable to use my 3g usb modem.... | 19:14 |
| BluesKaj | Vinceman, well, they're called libs . What are you trying to do ? | 19:14 |
| bradland | About to do something kind of invasive, and would like a sanity check. I'm going to change the hostname of an Ubuntu machine that is running on a remote network following this guide, which appears to be fairly recent: http://burnz.wordpress.com/2009/02/26/how-to-change-the-hostname-in-ubuntu/ | 19:14 |
| Vinceman | BluesKaj, I'm trying to uninstall 4vl2 because my webcam only works under v4l (1) | 19:14 |
| TripleDES | I was able to perform both tasks before upgrading to karmic | 19:14 |
| bradland | Anyone see anything missed on that list? | 19:14 |
| TripleDES | I think I'm going to ask on the forums to decide whether I need to open a bug report or not.... | 19:16 |
| Th-c | anyoneknow why I get Permission denied when I try to scp ? | 19:16 |
| leaf-sheep | Th-c: Throw out the full scp command you tried to use. | 19:16 |

| bradland | Th-c: if the user you're using for your scp session doesn't have permissions for the write location, you'll get permissions errors. | 19:16 |
| Th-c | sudo scp -P 30000 -pr folder/* name_of_serv@ip_address:/home/public_html | 19:16 |
| Horus | TripleDES, not really much help, but sounds like it's maybe a usb support problem not addressed in the karmic kernel for your netbooks. Could try to recompile the kernel. | 19:16 |
| dave_ | thekaas, That's alright I will be planning my next move.. maybe a new install.. My next question if say in the future I want to install a new version of ubuntu over this one can I do this on the same new partion? Or can I erase the ubuntu partion w/o affecting windows? | 19:17 |
| Shwack | Should i have a BIOS password set ? | 19:17 |
| bradland | Th-c: name_of_serv should be a username, not a hostname | 19:17 |
| TripleDES | Horus: I think it is, but they both have different chipsets and found that weird....two chipsets with similar bug?.... | 19:17 |
| Th-c | bradland: yes is uername | 19:18 |
| leaf-sheep | bradland: I have changed my hostname in the past few times without any hiccup and the tutorial you post looks decent. It seems to be okay. | 19:18 |
| H_Mike_H | Th-c it's not name_of_serv@ip it's user@ip | 19:18 |
| TripleDES | Horus: will try to recompile the kernel tonight.... | 19:18 |
| dave_ | thekaas, that is assuming I do a new install on a new partition not a virtual one as I have now. | 19:18 |
| bradland | Th-c: ok, can you successfully `name_of_serv@ip_address` | 19:18 |
| BluesKaj | Vinceman, i think you mean v4l2 , in the terminal sudo apt-get remove v4l2, then , sudo apt-get install v4l1 | 19:18 |
| TripleDES | Horus: you mean a vanilla kernel ? | 19:18 |
| bradland | leaf-sheep: thanks for the sanity check :) | 19:18 |
| bradland | Th-c: sorry, meant `ssh name_of_serv@ip_address` | 19:18 |
| thekaas | dave_ then i bellieve you can just erase the Ubuntu partition | 19:18 |
| Horus | TripleDES, that is odd. hmm... haven't seen anyone else with the issue, but then again I haven't been looking and I'm still new to ubuntu, coming from gentoo ;) | 19:18 |
| leaf-sheep | Th-c: Also, the folder you receive/send with scp should have permissions too. | 19:18 |
| llutz | Th-c: as i already told you: since that destination-directory is owned by root, you have to scp as root or copy it elsewhere and copy local later | 19:18 |
| Horus | TripleDES, yup | 19:19 |

| TripleDES | Horus: I'm a gentoo user too ;) | 19:19 |

| Tiders- | Infin1ty, Any problems? | 19:24 |
| Vinceman | Th-C anyway, it says on that site | 19:24 |
| Infin1ty | Tiders-, hmm nope, but you should know what when you first login into the server and it downloads stuff, it's actually downloading and not hanging :) at first i though wine didn't respond and got stuck when it was actually downloading | 19:25 |
| Vinceman | BluesKaj, Th-C anyway, I'm going to manually delete the ko-files because there's no other way to go I'm afraid | 19:25 |
| BluesKaj | Vinceman, in the terminal cd to the v4l2 folder , then make uninstall v4l2 | 19:25 |
| Th-c | ko ? | 19:25 |
| Vinceman | BluesKaj uninstall: command not found | 19:25 |
| Tiders- | Infin1ty, SO how do I do this exactly Ive never used Wine | 19:25 |
| Infin1ty | Tiders-, search in google, World of Warcraft and wine, you'll get plenty of info, there are also docs - ubuntu related as well | 19:26 |
| Vinceman | Tiders- Infin1ty when I wine Warcraft III I don't get sound and the task bar of linux is underneath my screen moving the top few lines off it | 19:27 |
| BluesKaj | Vinceman, in the v4l2 folder , look for a readme or install text file , there usually are instructions for uninstalls there | 19:27 |

| trism | Cale: check out the example file http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=3105266.0 apparently in karmic you have to specify fallbacks in a slightly different format (I should probably try that too, firefox defaults to some terrible japanese fonts in karmic) | 19:27 |
| Infin1ty | Vinceman, perhaps you didn't configure wine correctly, use winecfg to configure your sound, regarding your taskbar, i have no idea, perhaps you don't go full window? | 19:27 |

| ZykoticK9 | smeags, i'm affraid not... | 19:36 |

| muep__ | redrebel: usually no | 19:37 |

| Guest71801 | epinky, will I be able to install Ubuntu Server from it? | 19:37 |
| leaf-sheep | bradland: Try "source ~/.profile" | 19:38 |
| JediMaster | Tiders-, 1.0.1-0ubuntu8 according to apt-cache show | 19:38 |
| bradland | i'm exploring the contents of `man hostname` right now. it appears that this would be the best way to alter the hostname. i'm not sure why this guide suggests all this `sudo vi` | 19:38 |
| tsimpson | bradland: there is the "hostname" command which shows or sets the system's host name | 19:38 |
| leaf-sheep | bradland: Use nano instead of vi. :o | 19:38 |
| Tiders- | JediMaster, Is that 1.1.32... There is no 0ubuntu8 on the Wine site | 19:38 |
| bradland | nano, wtf? | 19:38 |
| tsimpson | and guide that suggests "sudo vi" is evil and should be discarded | 19:38 |
| Tonisius | any? | 19:38 |
| fx3 | bradland, there is much more to changing the hostname than just the command 'hostname' | 19:39 |
| smeags | is it worth switching over to ubuntu from xp | 19:39 |
| bradland | tsimpson: no, i'm just perplexed by why this guide would suggest manually editing the files when there is a utility that will do the job. | 19:39 |
| epinky | Guest71801: afaik, it' installs Ubuntu Server in your USB | 19:39 |
| ghostbyte | Anyway to announce ip address in Ubuntu? My switches are caching the information. When I add a new IP with FreeBSD the switches see the change right away but not with ubuntu. | 19:39 |
| bradland | fx3: thanks, can you have a look at this guide? http://burnz.wordpress.com/2009/02/26/how-to-change-the-hostname-in-ubuntu/ | 19:39 |
| tsimpson | bradland: like I said, it's evil :) | 19:39 |
| Guest71801 | I need installation USB. How can I do that epinky ? | 19:39 |
| JediMaster | Tiders-, normally the part after the dash is the package version, so ignore that, 1.0.1 I would presume then | 19:39 |
| leaf-sheep | smeags: I switched over to Ubuntu from Vista less about a year ago. I'll say definitely. | 19:39 |

| bradland | fx3: exactly my concern | 19:40 |
| tsimpson | !hostname | bradland, this is the recommended way | 19:40 |
| ubottu | bradland, this is the recommended way: Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. | 19:40 |
| epinky | Guest71801: check this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick | 19:41 |
| bradland | tsimpson: rockin, thanks man | 19:41 |
| fx3 | bradland, yea, this isnt right, the restart of the networking stack is required. i think its sudo /etc/init.d/inetd restart, but im not sure, give me a minute and ill have a look properly for you | 19:41 |
| Vinceman | Blueskaj yes | 19:42 |
| BluesKaj | fx3, read tsimpson's post above | 19:42 |
| bradland | well, the good news is that the output of hostname matches the contents of the entries in /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname | 19:43 |
| trism | Cale: thanks, that seems to have fixed it for me too | 19:43 |
| fx3 | bradland, can i ask what version of ubuntu are you running? | 19:43 |

| jawallace | But I'm curious.. does power cycling off like that hurt the drive itself? | 20:02 |

| _Hammer__ | jawallace, I would say no but it's I.T. you never really know what's going on. If anything it would corrupt the os b/c once the power button is pressed it begins the shutdown sequence and then powers off 5 seconds later | 20:03 |
| jawallace | Did you try wiping out Python and re installing it? | 20:03 |
| jawallace | ext3 and ext4? It is up to you.. I use ext3 | 20:04 |
| Bonz | pokobook: how long is a piece of green string in july | 20:04 |
| histo | bradland: trying to find another way for you to do it unless there is physical access. | 20:04 |
| sebsebseb | pokobook: 9.10 has Ext4 by default | 20:04 |
| bradland | histo: i'm calling the guy on-site now | 20:04 |
| jawallace | Best option is to just let the install do its thing automatically, unless you have a reason for mucking with it | 20:04 |
| epinky | !who jawallace | 20:04 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about who jawallace | 20:04 |
| sebsebseb | pokobook: for clean installs | 20:04 |

| JohnCDI | im trying to load DBAN to a flash drive with usb-creator but when i select the .iso it says its not recognized as a desktop install cd any help? | 20:04 |
| RRockon | I tried a reinstall on it | 20:04 |
| histo | bradland: yeah the onsite guy can restart the machine. | 20:04 |
| bradland | histo: do you know which tty has x on it | 20:05 |
| histo | bradland: also when it comes back up make sure to install ssh also. Kind of nice to have in situations like this. | 20:05 |
| jawallace | !JohnCDI Have you tried using K3b to mount it to the flash drive? | 20:05 |
| pokobook | anyone know ? | 20:05 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 20:05 |
| fx3 | bradland, 7 | 20:05 |
| stefg | pokobook: ext3 ist proven and stable, ext4 is quicker but might have some issues. I'd use ext4 for the system and ext3 for personal data (like /home) | 20:05 |
| bradland | histo: ssh is installed | 20:05 |
| histo | bradland: if you are looking for a way to secure ssh look at the fail2ban package. | 20:05 |
| bradland | fx3: thx | 20:05 |
| jawallace | JohnCDI Have you tried K#B to mount the ISO to a flash drive? | 20:05 |
| histo | bradland: well then ssh to the box and restart it. | 20:05 |
| bradland | histo: ssh does not respond | 20:05 |
| pokobook | thank you stefg | 20:05 |
| histo | bradland: ahh because of the hostname change. | 20:05 |
| bradland | histo: because i was in the middle of a hostname change | 20:05 |
| Cale | ganjanaut: I'm not certain that there aren't other holes which are being plugged by other fonts on my system, but on a quick scroll through the CJK part of unicode in Character Map, I don't see any missing characters now. | 20:05 |
| bradland | yep :) | 20:06 |
| JohnCDI | no i havent tried that ive used usb creator to put ubuntu installs on the flash drive i figured it would be the same for dban. | 20:06 |
| histo | bradland: sounds like the only option is to have the onsite guy restart it. | 20:06 |
| bradland | histo: it's all on a private network. i'm using VNC instead of SSH because I'm stuck coming in through a Windows SSL to RDP session.... which makes me want to vomit | 20:06 |
| jawallace | JohnCDI I used K3b to do something similar and it worked like a champ... I believe you can get a gui version through apt-get | 20:06 |
| histo | bradland: when you vnc in are you taken to the gdm screen or straight to desktop? | 20:07 |
| JohnCDI | jawallace thanks i'll try it out and return | 20:07 |
| jawallace | JohnCDI Or you can just extract the iso to the usb and then manually make it bootable | 20:07 |
| pokobook | im trying to divide a drive half for windows data and the other half for ubuntu there is no such option in 9.10 installation. | 20:07 |
| bradland | histo: this is a new install. i'm not sure yet. | 20:07 |
| bradland | histo: i usually enable auto-login on these machines with screen lock on screensaver after 5 minutes | 20:07 |

| pokobook | histo: thats what im trying to do now | 20:09 |
| jawallace | JohnCDI 8.10 had a startup creator that should do it.. | 20:09 |

| bradland | i copy/paste the hostname to avoid errors as well | 20:10 |

| bradland | histo: that'd be awesome. thx for all the help | 20:11 |
| ghabit | Hello. Which package on install automatically setups network/interfaces file? | 20:11 |
| histo | bradland: the machine will restart even if there are issues just whether networking will work or not is another question. | 20:11 |
| yast | its giving me an error saying something like missing a file in .setup858 | 20:11 |
| jawallace | pokobook Why did you create a 3gig swap? I gues it doesn't matter because drives are so big now days | 20:11 |
| johnnybot | not found, using backtrack pre final | 20:11 |
| histo | pokobook: you said you wanted half for ubuntu and half for windows right? | 20:11 |
| pokobook | heard that it acts as extra memory | 20:12 |
| histo | pokobook: also I would install windows first. but thats another issue. | 20:12 |
| histo | !swap | pokobook | 20:12 |
| Bonz | pokobook: you heard wring | 20:12 |
| ubottu | pokobook: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info | 20:12 |
| fx3 | bradland, restarting the machine is same as restarting the networking stack. just if you get stuck between the steps, only thing you can do is restart the machine onsite. Ive had this issue once, but i didnt think the solution was so simple so i ended up reinstalling ^-^ | 20:12 |
| Pici | johnnybot: We do not support Backtrack here. They have their own support channel: #remote-exploit | 20:12 |
| jawallace | JohnCDI Gotcha. Did you try the "ultimate boot disk"? It has Dban and other tools. I believe it has a utility to make it a bootable USB | 20:12 |

| jawallace | pokobook If your drive is big.. here is what I would do... 30% ubuntu / 60% home / 3-4 gigs max for swap | 20:15 |
| histo | pokobook: okay well put about 20gigs for / ext4 . Then create the remainder of the half for /home ext4. Then use the remainder of the drive as fat32 or ntfs if you want. | 20:15 |

| pisiq | can i have more then /home partition ? cause i just did the / part, /home and other xfs and ext4 partitions and i cant use those...i gotta put them a mount point also | 20:20 |
| fx3 | MrMist, i believe you can load all 3 with just grub. but if your original XP bootloader is gone, you will have to do it manually, its not hard | 20:20 |
| histo | pisiq: if you specify mount points they will be used as those mount points. | 20:21 |

| Bonz | histo: i'd not underestimate / size as /temp, etc can chew up space as well | 20:21 |

| fx3 | MrMist, http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/add-windows-xp-entry-to-grub-434986/ try this | 20:21 |

| Peon | I just installed the new ubuntu, but for some reason I can't see my local network.. | 20:22 |
| histo | kirandeo: did the upgrade online fail then when you stopped it? It would have reverted to the old version depending on its progress. | 20:23 |
| Gantis | /var/log/Xorg.0.log (not Corg, oops) | 20:23 |
| pisiq | histo, how can i make usable partitions without any mount point ? | 20:23 |
| histo | pisiq: you can do it after the install is completed | 20:23 |
| pisiq | ok, how i got 3 partitions that i need to use | 20:24 |
| histo | pisiq: especially if they aren't essential to system boot | 20:24 |

| epinky | Peon: define "see" | 20:28 |
| Cale | Six_String_sense: If you're not sure what you're supposed to do with it, file foo.bin might give some clue | 20:28 |
| Bonz | Peon: paint it in flourescent colours to aid visibility then | 20:28 |
| Cale | Six_String_sense: (it tries to determine something about the file from its contents) | 20:28 |
| Six_String_sense | i saw the contents, there was an executable file.. | 20:28 |
| Six_String_sense | is there anyway i can install GUI version of poweriso or similar on linux? | 20:29 |
| histo | Six_String_sense: like windows executable or what? | 20:29 |

| Mr_Eko | addrconf(netdev_up) wlan0: link is not ready - i see that thru dmesg, anyone can help? | 20:31 |
| bradland | fiberfolly: what if "everything you want" is confined to browsing the web, editing some documents, and sending/receiving email? | 20:31 |
| [zaf]-Coral | bradland, ha ha.. I was curious | 20:31 |
| Six_String_sense | how can i be sure what type is it? | 20:31 |
| Cale | Six_String_sense: the command I just told you | 20:31 |
| histo | lol | 20:31 |
| fiberfolly | bradland: you can do that easily with ubuntu | 20:32 |
| Cale | Six_String_sense: the 'file' command determines the types of files | 20:32 |
| bradland | fiberfolly: that's kind of my point. | 20:32 |
| Cale | Six_String_sense: "file PlaneShift*.bin" should tell you what sort of file it is | 20:32 |
| bradland | fiberfolly: you said "but you still have to know more than the average user to do everything that you want" | 20:32 |
| Six_String_sense | yes, and i did that file *path* and it showed the executabl. i'll check again and paste it here.. | 20:32 |
| Peon | I don't know. what would the smbclient be listed under? | 20:32 |
| fiberfolly | but I need to be able to do my banking on line | 20:32 |

| comutamike | Hi - I've done a dist upgrade through the upgrade option from Jackelope to 9.10 - seem to have problems with the nvidia drivers - anyone got any ideas? | 20:34 |
| Cale | fiberfolly: Things have been getting really crap with respect to audio in the last few versions of ubuntu. If it's anything before Karmic, I would recommend just uninstalling the pulseaudio package. That tends to clear up a lot of problems. Unfortunately in Karmic, they've made all sorts of other audio stuff depend more directly on pulseaudio without providing suitable fallbacks. | 20:34 |
| gharz | anyone can help what's the command line or other procedures in opening port 29521 to accept incoming connection for bittorrent? | 20:34 |

| mbeierl | comutamike: what kind of problems? Either way here's an idea: hold down shift during BIOS screen to get to grub... | 20:35 |
| Cale | Six_String_sense: okay, so chmod +x /home/guitar-maniac/Työpöytä/PlaneShift-v0.4.03-x86.bin | 20:35 |

| gharz | :( | 20:35 |
| histo | fiberfolly: well cvs would be the way to go. | 20:35 |
| comutamike | by problems - the gnome x windows system starts but i just get a black screen | 20:35 |

| histo | fiberfolly: just use openoffice to view those. or if youc an do a pdf you can also view those. | 20:35 |
| comutamike | if i try to start x using startx it complains that the nvidia drivers aren't preset | 20:36 |

| comutamike | mbeierl: i'll try that now | 20:36 |
| Peon | Ahhh.. my mistake, I was using ubuntu software center. | 20:36 |
| Cale | Six_String_sense: yeah, but if there was no error, then the file would have been set executable | 20:36 |
| mbeierl | comutamike: all the best - see you in a few minutes hopefully ! | 20:37 |
| Six_String_sense | oh ok | 20:37 |

| qos | hey guys. i guess you all aware of this nasty flash bug. i know how to fix it manually, but i prefer to wait for fixed packages. but they are still not released. why does this take so much time? | 20:38 |
| Cale | bradland: huh? | 20:38 |
| epinky | Peon: ok, open a terminal and post results of "smbtree" command, use pastebin | 20:38 |
| bradland | Cale: huh, what? | 20:38 |

| alpha_ | before upgrading to 9.10 I had the option to right click on a folder and to encrypt it (using my pgp-key). I can not recall if I had installed an extra program for this or if it was built in. But this option is not shown anymore, can anyone help me out here? | 20:41 |
| Cale | fiberfolly: I should probably try it. I haven't put a music CD in my computer for a long time, since I usually just listen to ogg and mp3 files :) | 20:41 |
| mbeierl | comutamike: I have to sign off for a moment... brb... | 20:41 |
| bradland | fiberfolly: Cale: My point is that your bank isn't the only one involved in electronic transactions for your account. If you chose not to use Mint.com on the basis that they have access to you bank account, then you ought to re-evaluate using electonic banking at all. Many banks don't even handle their own authentication; they outsource it to the same firms that Mint.com uses. | 20:41 |
| Peon | so it sees putt putt.. but it doesn't.. Weird.. | 20:41 |
| fearful | histo, now it won't even show up anywhere | 20:41 |
| porter1 | qos, the left-click problem in flash I believe has to do with nspluginwrapper, but I'm not sure... | 20:41 |
| fiberfolly | cale: Not yet. I was trying to use rhythmbox, because I have an Ipod and understood that it would work with this | 20:41 |
| epinky | Peon: then it's there, you can see them | 20:41 |
| MrMist | fx3: still there? Just took something to eat.. | 20:41 |
| fiberfolly | but can't even import a new cd I have | 20:41 |
| kirandeo | histo:it says sh: Can't open /cdrom/cdromupgrade | 20:42 |
| histo | fearful: its now unmounted | 20:42 |
| histo | kirandeo: ughh | 20:42 |
| qos | porter1, no. these are 2 different. and i know how to fix them. the fixes were discussed in the bugreports on launchpad. BUT i prefer to wait for offical packages. SO... why aren't the packages updated yet? | 20:42 |
| histo | kirandeo: where did you get this cd? | 20:42 |
| fx3 | MrMist, yea im here, did you look at that thread? | 20:42 |
| fiberfolly | bradland: do you have a link fo rmore info on mint.com? | 20:42 |
| Peon | Oh man.. I'm an idiot.. How do I change a computers name.. I just realized I have two girlfriends.. | 20:42 |
| kirandeo | free request | 20:42 |

| MrMist | fx3: Mm... So you mean I should manually change grub.cfg ? | 20:43 |
| mbeierl | comutamike: back. Sorry I'm not very good it joining wifi from rescue shell. Anyone else here? | 20:43 |
| bradland | fiberfolly: not handy, but before i decided to use them, i looked in to how they handle authentication, where my credentials were stored, and what type of access they had. | 20:43 |
| epinky | Peon: lol, plz use my nick on your messages | 20:43 |
| kirandeo | histo: free requst service.. | 20:43 |
| histo | fearful: so now its not mounting. | 20:43 |
| bradland | fiberfolly: they outsource the authentication to another company that does pretty much just that: secure banking authentication | 20:43 |
| Six_String_sense | One more prob.. :d it installed it and created the folder but.. nothings there. i nacigated from the terminal and its empty.. | 20:43 |
| fearful | negative and on a windows machine it works fine, histo | 20:44 |
| fx3 | MrMist, probably yea | 20:44 |
| fiberfolly | ty bradland | 20:44 |
| Peon | epinky sorry, still new to IRC.. | 20:44 |
| bradland | fiberfolly: your credentials aren't actually stored. just like ssh-keypairs, the authentication provider receives a key that is used to retrieve your account details. this key is revokable by your bank | 20:44 |
| foo | The program beep stopped working on my system. Any tips on making it work? It broke from upgrading from 9.04 to 9.10 | 20:44 |

| bradland | fiberfolly: also, the information is read-only, so you can't issue payments, but you're also protected from fraud | 20:44 |

| kirandeo | histo:no | 20:46 |
| Cale | bradland: It seems unlikely that my bank would outsource authentication to a US company... but to be honest, I'm not sure exactly how they're doing it. | 20:47 |
| epinky | Peon: putt putt is sharing something? | 20:47 |
| bradland | Cale: I can't speak for outside the US because i've only ever used US banking, but i do know that outsourcing security to specialized firms is growing because of the attention required to maintain security in today's hostile environment | 20:47 |
| histo | kirandeo: hrm.. hold on | 20:47 |
| bradland | Cale: i would still stand behind my assertion that anyone so concerned about security that they wouldn't use mint.com ought to re-consider any type of online banking. | 20:48 |
| Peon | epinky: how do I change the old servers name? that would fix one problem.. I think putt putts problem is the shared drive is removed currently.. | 20:48 |

| comutamike | mbeierl: I've found some docs - I'll plow through those - but thanks for the info about the nvidia drivers... I tried apt-get install nvidia (hoping it would list things like nvidia) but nothing was happening. | 20:54 |
| histo | fearful: although i'm sure it can be fixed without restarting. | 20:55 |
| comutamike | mbeierl: thanks dude.. | 20:55 |
| fearful | http://paste.ubuntu.com/320286/ histo | 20:55 |
| histo | fearful: dmesg -c will clear the dmesg | 20:55 |
| histo | fearful: then you can try plugging in a device and seeing if dmesg changed | 20:55 |
| mbeierl | comutamike: it would be just a simple re-install of nvidia-185-source and you might just be able to do that without networking as it could still be in the cache | 20:55 |

| youngblood | mbeierl, how do access the medibuntu? | 20:58 |

| oCean_ | Goksu: probably because your ufw firewall service is running? | 20:59 |
| mbeierl | youngblood: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu gives info... | 20:59 |
| Arsin | mbeierl: Updated? Wasn't told that the sector was not NTFS anymore? | 21:00 |

| thomatwork | I'm trying to edit my /etc/gdm/Init/Default file after upgrading to 9.10 - even using sudo and vim from command line - I can't seem to write any file to the /Init directory - this sorta makes sense to me - but I can't figure out how to add the config parameters I need to add back to the Default file... any suggestions | 21:15 |
| xim_ | thiebaude, before i had karmic regardless of my screensaver settings it would prevent it from starting if a video was fullscreen (or maybe playing at all) | 21:15 |

| puff | Hi, gotta mess here, caused by an overeager friend. To make a long story short, we installed ubuntu server 9.10, then the gnome desktop stuff, then kde, then disabled kde and went back to using gnome, then upgraded to karmic, which broke xdmcp so downgraded gdm to 2.0, now apparently gdm and kdm are both trying to run and prventing xdmcp from working. | 21:19 |
| tandyman100 | I have a BIG issue! | 21:19 |
| puff | So.... we kill the kdm process and restart gdm and xdmcp starts working again. | 21:19 |
| youngblood | I'm using ubuntu 9.04. I have install all Medibuntu repositories. When I search for Skype in synaptic , I still do not see it. I also ran update. Is there anything i missing? | 21:19 |

| tandyman100 | I have two HDDs, I installed WinXP onto the one the bios is set to boot from, and Ubuntu onto the other (after windows) | 21:20 |

| thomatwork | d6chung: sorry - correct. | 21:26 |
| crazy6 | oh, I just had to enable the setting "Show printers connected to other computers" | 21:26 |
| mbeierl | cow1: is this on a computer that is protected from the internet behind a firewall or is this a live HTTP server? | 21:26 |
| d6chung | cow1: But you need to "own" it. In an ls -l listing, you should see your username. | 21:26 |
| d6chung | thomatwork: Wait, and root can't write to the file with vim? | 21:27 |
| cow1 | ok I tried "chmod -R u+w www" it says operation not permitted | 21:27 |
| d6chung | cow1: It doesn't look like you own it. | 21:27 |
| mbeierl | cow1: you need to do "sudo chmod" | 21:27 |
| TheVenerableZ | cow1: prepend "sudo" | 21:27 |
| TheVenerableZ | mbeierl: you beat me ;) | 21:27 |

| thedead91 | guys can you explain me how to modify the number of the terminal's rows on ubuntu 9.10? | 21:29 |
| d6chung | cow1: But if the folder is owned by root, making that user-writable will do nothing for you. | 21:29 |
| d6chung | cow1: It _is_ owned by root! | 21:29 |
| d6chung | cow1: You need to either make that writable by group/everyone or make yourself own it. | 21:30 |

| aimtrainer | Hi! I have an Evolution problem. Unluckily there's no #evolution on freenode. I have three E-Mail accounts which I use via Evolution and IMAP. But 2 of them don't have a sent folder and the one that does does't have anything in it. So I can never check if an E-Mail really got sent. Help me please :) | 22:42 |
| Hb_Kai | is it gmail? | 22:43 |

| Pici | perscitus: Ubuntu cannot run 32bit binaries unless you run them in a chroot on computer running the 64bit kernel. | 22:48 |
| LinuxFreakD | perscitus, what do you mean where are the 32 bit apps? In the synaptic package manager and on the web as .deb files. I am not sure I understand your question. | 22:48 |

| tophyr | i'm trying to stick an ubuntu installation cd onto a flash stick and am having trouble booting the contraption. i've got grub installed on the stick, i just can't figure out what to tell grub to load next. i've tried the /casper/vmlinuz kernel, which appears to be the "try it out" kernel, not the installer, and grub can't chainload /isolinux/isolinux.bin.. any suggestions on what to try next? | 22:49 |
| perscitus | Pici.-> uh i dont get that | 22:49 |
| nerdy_kid | driver only works in old kernel...help /pleeeeeaaaaase/!!!! | 22:49 |
| maco | perscitus: everything in the repos will match your current arch. for things that must be 32bit, the ia32libs package exists to allow them to be installed. ex of packages that use this: skype, flash | 22:49 |
| Pici | perscitus: seems I've been overruled, seems ia32-libs lets you run some 32bit apps. | 22:49 |
| perscitus | I should just jump in and backup prefs. maco, there is 64bit flash but alpha | 22:52 |
| maco | perscitus: right, so the one in repos is 32bit | 22:52 |
| maco | perscitus: because adobe wont allow us to distribute alpha software | 22:52 |
| LinuxFreakD | maco, Pici, ya I was a little confused when Pici said that cause I was pretty sure Skype was 32 bit and I have it installed on 64. But I am still a novice with Ubuntu so I figured I was just wrong. | 22:52 |
| yast | the thing is I make the shortcut but it doesnt save anything of the game in there | 22:52 |
| yast | and if I run it in the game folder it does save | 22:53 |
| LinuxFreakD | perscitus, yes there is 64bit flash alpha... I am running it now and it runs great. | 22:53 |

| jrib | perscitus: replace it with something else | 23:46 |
| anathematic | jrib: sorry, I want to know how many files are in this directory | 23:47 |
| perscitus | jrib.-> Uh NO. Removing it. | 23:47 |

| jrib | perscitus: I don't know | 23:48 |
| jrib | anathematic: ls -l will tell you | 23:48 |
| arand | perscitus: this command will remove the grub2 mbr and disable your computer to boot completely, and this is gereally not what sane people wants to do, but since you persistently ask: "sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sd# bs=446 count=1" (no quotes and replace # with correct disk letter) | 23:48 |
| perscitus | jrib.-> karmic is to dumb as it installs it self on Windows HDD and not Linux HDD. | 23:49 |
| SecretofMana | can someone explain to a poor newbie what /usr/bin/time is and how I might go about getting it if I don't have it? | 23:49 |
| arand | perscitus: that will still allow it to boot from cd/usb, but will make it fail to boot from the specified hd completely | 23:49 |
| jrib | perscitus: the installer asks where you want to install it to iirc | 23:49 |
| Scunizi | perscitus: only if you let it.. there is a manual partition and setup option on install.. | 23:49 |
| anathematic | HAHA OH WOW | 23:49 |
| trism | SecretofMana: it is in the time package, and it allows you to time the execution of programs | 23:49 |
| perscitus | jrib.-> no it doesnt. never did. | 23:50 |
| perscitus | Scunizi.-> your wrong. | 23:50 |
| joaopinto | SecretofMana, open a terminal and type: time | 23:50 |

| SecretofMana | okay, that works, so I guess I do have it...but some weird error I'm getting installing Google's programming language was linked to not having that...hm odd, thanks | 23:51 |
| perscitus | You people are in error and incorrect. | 23:51 |
| Scunizi | perscitus: bootloader.. true.. however after install you can put it where you want it. | 23:51 |
| xTheGoat121x | Is there any way to set the CTRL-TAB binding to switch convos in Empathy? | 23:51 |

| Bonz | hmm funny ubuntu installer gave me a choice of 3 disks to install too | 23:51 |
| Scunizi | perscitus: you didn't say bootloader previously.. just the install location. | 23:51 |
| obione | sorry for english | 23:51 |
| arand | perscitus: the mbr will ALWAYS overwrite the windows mbr to be able to enable grub, such is life. | 23:51 |
| perscitus | It only asks where to install Ubuntu and what partition. Installer doesnt ask about bootloader | 23:51 |
| obione | isn't* | 23:51 |
| arand | perscitus: easiest way to rewrite the windows mbr is to boot a windows cd and run the fixmbr tool. | 23:52 |
| Bonz | but that wasn't just bootloader, that was whole kit and caboodle | 23:52 |
| Scunizi | Bonz: he's speaking of where the grub reference goess in the MBR.. | 23:52 |
| ortsvorsteher | whats your preferred language? obione | 23:52 |
| obione | pt | 23:52 |
| obione | why ' | 23:52 |
| ortsvorsteher | !pt | 23:52 |
| obione | ? | 23:52 |
| ubottu | Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Para a comunidade local portuguêsa, #ubuntu-pt. Obrigado. | 23:52 |
| perscitus | arand.-> except i cant. Both hdds have grub2 | 23:52 |
| Bonz | it also detected other installs and offerred to install next to them instead | 23:52 |
| trism | obione: lsmod will list your current modules, but then you'll have to search for them all when you configure, it is much easier to copy /boot/config-$(uname -r) to .config in your kernel source, and use that as a starting point when you make menuconfig | 23:52 |
| arand | perscitus: you can define bootloader location in the advanced settings but yes it will overwrite by default | 23:52 |

| perscitus | arand.-> whats safest way to change boot flags to linux hdd? | 23:55 |
| Falcorian | kernco: I recall reading they moved the notifications down in 9.10 so they wouldn't hide the close buttons. I don't think they're movable | 23:55 |
| kernco | Falcorian: Ah, ok. Thank | 23:56 |
| Scunizi | maurer_1: couple things.. first look in synaptic package manager and search for i915 or just 915.. second you might try .. sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade and it might pull it in. | 23:56 |

| scottandmonique | in your bios F2 or delete into bios on start up and make the hard drive the booted drive | 23:58 |
