| thiebaude | !emerald | 00:08 |
| ubottu | emerald is an obsolete window decorator for compiz. It's unsupported and unmaintained, making issues with it very hard to diagnose and fix. There are no known, supported alternatives. | 00:08 |
| pipegeek | drink_sti: and it depends on the version | 00:09 |
| zopiac | the icon for my Blender launcher in Cairo-dock is not letting me change it, can anyone help?? | 00:09 |

| drink_sti | pipegeek: im on the vmware site and there are so many options. which one should i use to run this program? | 00:10 |
| syrius | how safe is it to install a program with a install script .sh to install it with? | 00:11 |
| randomusr | I-am-On-WinXP; I'm sorry to hear that | 00:11 |
| syrius | it downloads the programs need to comoile | 00:11 |
| pipegeek | drink_sti: what do you want to do? If you want to set up a new vm (if you don't have a prebuilt vm image) you probably want vmware server, which is free as in beer | 00:12 |
| syrius | randomusr there is no windows version for current cinepaint | 00:12 |
| Sogorukuhn | One more question about the wallpaper. I have 2 monitors at the office and the nvidia driver. Both monitors are configured in the nvidia driver as 1 and when I set a wallpaper it looks not so good. Is there another way as dublicate the wallpaper with gimp to one doupblewallpaper? | 00:12 |
| randomusr | syrius? do what? | 00:12 |
| drink_sti | i just want to run ubuntu on my laptop to see what hardware problems i might have before i stick with it. | 00:14 |
| pipegeek | drink_sti: in that case, you don't want vmware | 00:14 |
| I-am-On-WinXP | lol | 00:14 |
| jeffmr | is there a preference panel for disabling bluetooth on startup | 00:15 |
| pipegeek | drink_sti: if you install ubuntu in a virtual machine, it'll be running on virtualized hardware, and you won't find out about issues with the real hardware | 00:15 |
| pipegeek | drink_sti: Download the livecd image, and boot off it. You'll get to a full desktop, and won't have to install anything | 00:15 |
| pipegeek | then, if you want to install it, just double-click the 'install' icon | 00:15 |

| pcbuilder97 | why would my webcam work with youtube but not work with ustream?? dont they use the same plugin? | 00:16 |
| drink_sti | pipegeek: i would like to set up dualboot but from what i read theres alot more to do than say if u have xp and vista. im still real new to linux and would like to mess around with it. | 00:16 |
| pipegeek | drink_sti: sure. What I'm suggesting is that, if you want to mess around, you boot off the CD and don't install it at all | 00:17 |
| pipegeek | you'll have a full linux desktop, and you can install programs (into memory---they disappear when you reboot), browse the web, what have you | 00:17 |

| BasketCase_Eee | hmmm, now that I look harder it appears that the games and favorites tabs are the only ones that aren't sorted. the favs I can kinda sort by removing and adding them in the proper order (kinda lame) and the games seem to be sorted by an undisplayed category which I would like to change | 00:20 |
| slide | Is there a support channel for Ubuntu One? | 00:21 |
| user_ | hi | 00:21 |
| DaveyAM | pls.. no idea..? | 00:21 |

| dustin | Hey all, don't send me to wiki page, I have read wiki over and over there is no answer for me there. I dual boot Ubuntu9.10 and Win7.

| MadSeaDog | Is it possible to isolate some bad sector and create a partition with onlygood sector? | 00:29 |
| treebuey | trrrr | 00:29 |
| Snausages | MadSeaDog: that should already be happening under the radar, unless the bad sector list has overflowed on that drive | 00:30 |
| MadSeaDog | Snausages, okay... if Gparted tell me the hard drive has 59 bad sector... and windows refuse to boot is it overflowed? | 00:31 |
| treebuey | hiya. My fonts are messed up for firefox menus after the last update. also, a cyrillic like character is showing up whenver i am at a password prompt WITHIN xwindows. any ideas? | 00:31 |
| Snausages | MadSeaDog: I don't know how gparted makes its count. Typically the host PC can't see any bad sectors at all, even when there are some, because the drive hardware already reallocated them to spare sectors | 00:32 |
| Snausages | MadSeaDog: I guess the thing to do is pull the SMART status for that drive, see if you have a matching count of 59 reallocations | 00:32 |
| MadSeaDog | Snausages, how can i do that? | 00:33 |
| arand | How can I force a window to a specific viewport despite it being started/refocussed/changing? the compiz settings only seem to do that when the application starts. | 00:33 |
| Snausages | MadSeaDog: dunno off the top of my head | 00:33 |
| ubuntu | does ubuntu 9.10 comes with a irc. client by default? I cant find one | 00:33 |

| ubuntu | empathy | 00:34 |
| Vonnick | Yes it does | 00:34 |
| Snausages | MadSeaDog: maybe try installing smartmontools? | 00:34 |
| Vonnick | You have to skip the initial account creation and do it from the menu | 00:34 |
| Vonnick | Then there's an IRC option | 00:34 |
| MadSeaDog | Snausages, ok... is it in the repos? | 00:35 |

| oxy_ | I downloaded the nvidia video card drivers from nvidia and the file is a .run file (NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-190.42-pkg2.run). How do I install this? | 00:36 |
| Snausages | MadSeaDog: in modern drives, when a sector goes bad the HDD reallocates it to a spare sector before the host PC is ever aware of it. So if your machine is telling you there are 59 bad sectors... that makes me think it may actually be 59 + all the ones that the SMART system has already compensated for... | 00:36 |

| wick94 | how can i fix tht | 00:41 |
| oxy_ | arand: when i do the "sudo ./file.run" it says it can't install because X server is running. Also, I thought I was was supposed to go to hardware drivers to get nvidia driver working, but there were no options there. Should I instead check in synaptic? | 00:41 |
| SuBsAm | gnufreex on line tv channels | 00:41 |

| wick94 | any1 | 00:41 |
| wick94 | hlp plzzzzzzzzzz | 00:41 |
| wick94 | i have a problm with synaptic manager | 00:42 |
| arand | oxy_: hmm, well it might be something odd with your card model... | 00:42 |
| yacc_ | MadSeaDog, mke2fs for example has the option -c => slow | 00:42 |
| MadSeaDog | yacc_, do you think it worth try saving it? or direct buy another? | 00:42 |

| gnufreex | SuBsAm , did you tried Miro Internet TV. It is in software centar | 00:43 |
| oxy_ | arand: It's a fairly common card. Geforce GTX 260 | 00:43 |
| yacc_ | In almost any normal situation it's not worth trying to safe it. | 00:43 |
| MadSeaDog | yacc_, it's a ntfs partition... | 00:43 |
| SuBsAm | gnufreex not working | 00:43 |
| yacc_ | MadSeaDog, modern hdds (as in the last 15 years or longer) do black sector remapping automatically. | 00:44 |
| oxy_ | arand: Maybe there is nothing in System > Administration > Hardware Drivers because when I first opened that i didn't have a live internet connection? | 00:44 |
| seidos | when i paste text from vim to firefox, firefox freezes. it's quite a bit of text though | 00:44 |
| Snausages | MadSeaDog: seeing so many bad blocks counted from any tool would scare me into replacing the disk | 00:44 |
| yacc_ | So even if you have an unrecoverable error, when you overwrite the sector it should go good again, because the hdd remaps it to a reserved area of blocks. | 00:44 |
| seidos | i'm using firefox 3.6 beta 1 though | 00:44 |
| yacc_ | "unrecoverable read error" | 00:44 |
| yacc_ | If you have an unrecoverable write error that usually means that the hdd has run out of replacement sectors. | 00:45 |
| oxy_ | arand: Ill figure it out. Thanks for the help. | 00:45 |
| arand | oxy_: might be, in that case you could try installing from synaptic instead to do it the "ubuntu way" | 00:45 |
| seidos | wasn't a freeze, just took like 3 minutes to paste the text. I think it's like 3 paragraphs | 00:45 |
| yacc_ | So if you don't happen to be in the nowhere, with the next PC shop hundreds of miles away, ... | 00:45 |
| oddhyena | did you try doing a hard format on the hard disk? | 00:45 |
| MadSeaDog | yacc_ so simply make it rearrenge the partition might be good enough? | 00:45 |
| yacc_ | oddhyena, wrong decade ;) | 00:46 |
| MadSeaDog | Snausages, would have tough the same... | 00:46 |
| seidos | and it pasted a lot of blank lines | 00:46 |
| === Ajr_ is now known as Ajr | ||
| oddhyena | doesn't writing zeros to the entire disk count as a format? | 00:46 |
| yacc_ | MadSeaDog, no you've got the equivalent of a car engine that is producing a thick black fume behind the car. | 00:46 |
| yacc_ | oddhyena, no, for real lowlevel formats you need usually vendor specific utilities. | 00:47 |
| yacc_ | MadSeaDog, It's also an economic question. | 00:47 |
| yacc_ | Madkiss, OTOH, you can get 500GB hdds nowadays for ~40€ easily. | 00:47 |
| neal__ | hey, i have an interesting question for someone | 00:48 |
| MadSeaDog | yacc_, hehe i see the picture! i guess gonna go for a new one... | 00:48 |
| nikolam | hm, how do you guys make monitor actually tirn itself off when screen saver stars, instead of just being black | 00:48 |
| neal__ | is it possible to record a voice conversation using a modem | 00:48 |
| darrend | does anyone know if this pulseaudio nonsense is being addressed by the devs? | 00:48 |
| darrend | (i.e. it crashing apps every 20 mins) | 00:48 |
| oddhyena | i already asked about the modem recording a long time ago and got no answer XD | 00:48 |
| neal__ | oddhyena, thats too bad | 00:49 |
| neal__ | i'm sure it can be done, just now sure how | 00:49 |
| plainas | neal__ modem stands for modulator/demodulator, unless your modem comes with a recorder (which sounds unlikely) the answer is no | 00:49 |
| arand | darrend: that is probably a specific issue, is it reported as abug? | 00:49 |
| neal__ | i was thinking of using mgetty then say cat it into /dev/dsp or somesuch | 00:49 |
| yacc_ | MadSeaDog, so you have to question yourself is your data worth less than 1€ per 12.5GB? | 00:49 |
| jolaren | (where scancode is either xx or e0xx, given in hexadecimal,\n" | 00:50 |
| jolaren | " and keycode is given in decimal)\n" | 00:50 |
| neal__ | well the modem can receive voicemail and fax, so i don't see a reason that you couldn't listen in | 00:50 |
| darrend | arand: there seem to be several already posted with many people reporting confirmations in comments. | 00:50 |
| oddhyena | i had a modem that I could hear stuff over the phone lines with when I tried to play multiplayer doom, I used my friend's phone number and I could hear "hello? hello?" | 00:50 |
| darrend | arand: sound worked perfectly in jaunty, now it's totally broken :( | 00:51 |
| === joshux__ is now known as joshux | ||
| === Ajr_ is now known as Ajr | ||
| oddhyena | is it possible to route alsa audio through jack? | 00:51 |
| plainas | neal__: where does it dumps the fax to? | 00:51 |
| yacc_ | neal__, with a softmodem probably => a softmodem is nothing more than a sound card with the hookup to the phone line. | 00:51 |
| MadSeaDog | yacc_, this is not mine... i got to save it ... gonna ask that question to the owner... | 00:52 |
| jolaren | How do I make a unknown key known? | 00:52 |
| gerzel | When I am logged into the console (as in ubuntu server w/no x session running logged in with keyboard monitor directly connected to the box) is there a way to adjust the font size on the screen? I'd like to make it smaller so I can fit more info on the screen | 00:52 |
| plainas | it should be possible to connect a modem to a computer and make a phone val | 00:52 |
| yacc_ | Basically the important thing is that when the first unrecoverable write error pops up, the drive has already used up a sizeable chunk of replacement sectors, ... | 00:52 |
| plainas | in that case your modem would have to be able to route a sound signal | 00:53 |
| plainas | directly to the phone line | 00:53 |
| MadSeaDog | yacc_, so after 59 ... | 00:53 |
| yacc_ | OTOH, I personally do have a 250GB USB drive that is slowly failing, and it's quite ok, [48690.377652] sd 8:0:0:0: [sdd] Sense Key : Recovered Error [current] [descriptor] | 00:53 |
| yacc_ | Because I only store "worthless" stuff on it, actually I use it as a staging area for torrent data ;) | 00:53 |
| arand | darrend: well, the only thing to do, if it's reported correctly, is to monitor the bugreport for updates, or go ahead yourself and test/provide patches. | 00:54 |
| Vantrax | anyone know of a FOSS solution like Zenworks or CSSM | 00:54 |
| Snausages | MadSeaDog: http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/badblockhowto.html | 00:55 |
| plainas | anyway, can anybody tell me where can i read about the latest integration of launchpad and aptitude | 00:55 |
| pixie_pie | can anyone tell me the fastest way to install ubuntu lts on my vmware? | 00:55 |
| Sierradump | Can someone help me with Xorg.conf? I just need to set resolution to 720p (1280x720) but I also need to adjust something like horizontal and vertical frequencies? But I don't know what they should be set to? | 00:55 |
| Sierradump | Is there a way to figure that out? | 00:55 |
| arand | pixie_pie: some sites provide downloadable vm images, that'd probably be the fastest, otherwise, just grab an iso and install as you would a normal machine. | 00:56 |
| Vantrax | pixie_pie, use an iso as a virtual drive | 00:56 |
| plainas | pixie_pie: download the iso and choose boot from iso | 00:56 |
| yacc_ | MadSeaDog, You could try to read out the S.M.A.R.T. data if available, but I think that experience is clear on this one. | 00:56 |
| benc | I want to use upstart to control a server. My server has a script that kills it but upstart also kills the process. what I should do? | 00:56 |
| pixie_pie | and what is the latest lts ? | 00:56 |
| Vantrax | 8.04 | 00:56 |
| pixie_pie | thanks | 00:56 |
| Vantrax | or wait for 10.04 | 00:56 |
| seidos | Sierradump: i think your best bet would be to compare your xorg.conf to another xorg.conf file that has the sections you need | 00:56 |
| pixie_pie | sorry, arand, but can you clarify what is the vm image and how can i know it is a safe website to download this from? | 00:57 |
| pixie_pie | and if you know of a safe site, can you recommend one to me? | 00:58 |
| seidos | Sierradump: i'd show you mine, but it doesn't have what you need, i think because of my graphics driver | 00:58 |
| holmser | I need to install windows on another partition for school... how do I reinstall grub after that? | 00:58 |

| pixie_pie | yacc_ sorry... just a few more questions. On this site, there is LTS Server and Desktop and also there apear to be different "brands", Linhost, WMPlanet, etc | 01:01 |
| pixie_pie | How do I know which one to get? | 01:01 |
| yacc_ | brands == people who have made it. | 01:02 |

| yacc_ | pixie_pie, browse and see which one you like, kind of. | 01:02 |
| oddhyena | does anyone know how I can record the output from pulseaudio? like have all the applications' audio output be dumped to a file? or is there a way to have pulseaudio output to jack? | 01:02 |
| pixie_pie | yacc_ so that could be.... a security issue, no? isn't it safer to burn the iso image? | 01:02 |
| yacc_ | LTS == LongTermSupport | 01:02 |
| yacc_ | pixie_pie, it's safer, but you have to install it yourself. | 01:03 |
| pixie_pie | yacc_ ok i think i'll do the lts then | 01:03 |
| pixie_pie | from iso | 01:03 |
| pixie_pie | thanks | 01:03 |
| pixie_pie | hm wait | 01:03 |
| arand | gerzel: 9.10? upgraded or on grub2? | 01:03 |
| pixie_pie | if you were me, yacc_ would you choose vmPlanet or LinHost... and LTS or server =) | 01:03 |

| monga | idleone will it be compatable with my intel? | 02:07 |
| Taim | yoriel: hrmm...That's a little more out of the range of "general Ubuntu help." | 02:07 |
| IdleOne | monga: yes | 02:07 |
| Colonel_Panik | monga, you have an intel cpu with amd dual 64bit-32bit architecture licensed from AMD | 02:07 |
| heath|OTG | fireball, that's strange... what runlevel are you at on boot | 02:07 |
| isis | i did install configcompiz successfully and get YES with $ glxinfo | grep direct command... but iam not able to activate any effects.. i dont know why just then not run... :Sç | 02:07 |

| lovre | hi can i remove all files within a folder structure named 'file.ext'.. I tried this, but it is not working: find | grep 'file.ext' | rm .....says that rm is missing an operand, so i suppose it cant except piped ones.. | 02:07 |
| fireball | heath|OTG: admin. is that what you meant? | 02:07 |
| heath|OTG | isis compiz --replace ? | 02:07 |
| Colonel_Panik | monga, Intel is not proud of that so they don't advertise that | 02:08 |
| monga | haha | 02:08 |
| heath|OTG | fireball, no. in a terminal type runlevel | 02:08 |
| monga | What is the difference between Wine and vmware? | 02:08 |

| dooglus | kanja2: try: emacs -g 80x20+100+50 | 02:08 |
| dooglus | kanja2: the 80x20 is the size in characters | 02:08 |
| isis | heath|OTG: some commando to do it? | 02:08 |
| heath|OTG | randomusr, tab + tab | 02:08 |
| kanja2 | dooglus: that would be awesome -if can you point me in the right directory I'll start looking too. I've just never had to do anything this low in x | 02:08 |
| dooglus | and the 100,50 is the location of the top left corner, in pixels | 02:08 |
| fireball | heath|OTG: N 2 | 02:08 |
| rincon | what should i use to easily edit a pdf document? | 02:08 |
| kanja2 | dooglus: ahhh in emacs... hadn't thought of that | 02:09 |
| dooglus | kanja2: you can put something in your .emacs file too if you would rather | 02:09 |
| heath|OTG | fireball, is that after a clean restart ? | 02:09 |
| isis | heath|OTG: so... ?i must reinstall my compiz | 02:09 |
| fireball | heath|OTG: yes | 02:09 |
| heath|OTG | isis did that command start compiz ? | 02:10 |
| paipimenta | I've got a 9.10 client install CD.... can I do a text-only install? | 02:10 |
| fireball | heath|OTG: i get taken straight to x real fast, asked to login. after login i type "sudo gdm", enter password and I'm back to normal | 02:10 |
| isis | heath|OTG: i must write "start compiz" on terminal? | 02:10 |
| fireball | heath|OTG: i tried the grub recovery option, no effect | 02:11 |
| heath|OTG | isis just try compiz --replace and see if it changes | 02:11 |

| Strider22 | facebook photo upload does not work as it is missing a checkbox. | 02:11 |
| kanja2 | dooglus: awesome, thanks! | 02:11 |
| heath|OTG | fireball, not a grub issue. can you pastebin the following code for me: ls -la /etc/rc2.d | 02:11 |
| isis | heath|OTG: yes.. | 02:11 |
| heath|OTG | fireball, and pastebin doesn't mean paste in channel | 02:12 |
| isis | heath|OTG: tks.. | 02:12 |
| fireball | heath|OTG: that i know, but what do i do with it to avoid flooding? | 02:12 |
| heath|OTG | np, isis check System->Prefs->Appearance->Visual Effects and make sure they are on in there | 02:13 |
| paipimenta | hey room... I've got a 9.10 client install CD. can I do a text-only install? it's not on the menu, but can I send an option? | 02:13 |
| heath|OTG | fireball, http://www.pastebin.com | 02:13 |
| heath|OTG | paste it in there and give me the URL | 02:13 |
| chuy_max | hi guys, is there any reason GDM asks me twice for my user password when I boot up?, I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 | 02:14 |
| heath|OTG | paipimenta, I believe text only is server | 02:14 |
| dooglus | kanja2: do you have a "(custom-set-variables | 02:14 |
| dooglus | " at the end of your ~/.emacs ? | 02:14 |
| Taim | paipimenta: you want the alternate install ISO. | 02:14 |
| paipimenta | Talm: yeah, I've got the server DVD, but this old laptop I just got doesn't have a CD-ROM | 02:15 |

| dooglus | it was ok until about a week before release, but it's not worked since | 02:17 |
| dooglus | it stopped the same time as one of my memory sticks stopped working | 02:18 |
| Taim | dous: What is the make/model of PC and mouse? | 02:18 |
| dooglus | the other memory stick is still fine | 02:18 |

| dooglus | Taim: it's a Microsoft optical thingy | 02:18 |

| dooglus | Taim: but it doesn't make much different - I've tried a few other USB mice and none work | 02:18 |

| Strider22 | I look like a fool on facebook because I have not been able to get photo upload to work. I've done web searches every few months for a year and followed the instructions. Still no fix. The problem is that the app takes forever to load and will only load after a restart. When it does load the app is missing a checkbox. | 02:24 |
| fireball | whilst i'm here, what command/program lists usb cameras and as much other info as possible? | 02:24 |
| dooglus | Taim: also, my mobile phone never mounts when I plug it in. it did until a week or two before release | 02:24 |

| Taim | Strider22: Works fine for me. Did you try clearing your history, cache and cookies? | 02:27 |

| ToasterMan | Im using 9.10 64-bit and I have flash plugin installed, but it doesn't function right. For example, a youtube video will play, but when I click on any of the actions (i.e pause, or volume change or whatever) nothing happens. It's the same with all flash across the web. All flash runs, but clicking does nothing at all. | 02:29 |
| ToasterMan | Is this a known issue? | 02:29 |
| heath|OTG | fireball, just try dpkg-reconfigure gdm | 02:29 |
| Taim | ToasterMan: It is for me. Disable desktop effects. | 02:29 |
| _Tavo_ | please, could someone tell me if eclipse debugger with gdb works in karmic? I've been trying for hours to make it work but failed miserably... | 02:29 |
| _Tavo_ | I think it's something to do with gdb 7.0 | 02:30 |
| kinen | does anyone know why the sound is broken in karmic after the latest update? | 02:30 |
| heath|OTG | ToasterMan, flash for linux is horrible | 02:30 |
| ToasterMan | Taim: Yea disabling desktop effects fixed it... but why the hell does desktop effects screw flash up that badly? | 02:30 |

| Taim | ToasterMan: Mnn...There is a bug on it. I don't recall exactly why, I just know that it fixes flash. My guess is that compiz does...unexpected things to mouse events... | 02:31 |
| Arsin | How do I tell if I'm using a DCHP or static ip? | 02:31 |
| heath|OTG | is ubuntu for real | 02:31 |
| rsk | heath|OTG sure. | 02:32 |
| heath|OTG | Taim, ToasterMan I don't have that issue...what version of flash | 02:32 |
| ToasterMan | heath|OTG: how do I tell what version? | 02:32 |
| Taim | heath|OTG: 64bit package in ubunutu. | 02:32 |
| heath|OTG | Taim, I didn't even know the 64bit package was out, I'm using the 32 | 02:33 |
| randomusr | Taim: how about a charting application, like visio maybe? | 02:33 |

| joshua | I've become really disappointed in ubuntu | 02:35 |
| Arsin | holmser: auto lo iface lo inet loopback dhcp then right? | 02:35 |
| ToasterMan | heath|OTG: Geforce GTX 260... although I think that link Dr_Willis just pasted may be the solution | 02:35 |
| Arsin | joshua: Why's that? | 02:35 |
| heath|OTG | Arsin, that means network-manager is dealing with it and it's probably dhcp uness you set it | 02:35 |
| joshua | 1. jaunty -> karmic broke X I had to downgrade X core to function | 02:35 |
| randomusr | I'm feeling more and more confident with using Ubuntu or linux in general because I can do anything that I could do in windows... but with less headaches | 02:36 |
| Dr_Willis | ToasterMan: google to the rescue. :) and i rember seeing that last week. :) | 02:36 |

| tovella | Doorman352: lsusb. | 02:37 |
| Taim | joshua: If you don't like Karmic so well, why not stick with Jaunty. It's still supported. You can always wait for Lucid. | 02:37 |
| MacAttack_ | hey | 02:37 |
| chasmarang | Karmic Update Manager is broken | 02:37 |
| Doorman352 | THANKS! | 02:37 |
| Dr_Willis | some users reported that the bug with mouse clicks not working in Flash & Ubuntu was fixed by either disabling Compiz or just by disabling the show desktop plugin in Compiz. | 02:37 |
| heath|OTG | I have upgrade 5 computers to Karmic with no issues | 02:37 |
| chasmarang | does anyone have the same problem | 02:37 |
| joshua | 4. apt-get doesn't have an override "These packages work togethter thanks" | 02:38 |
| joshua | or an override "yes I have this dependency even though you can't see it" | 02:38 |
| heath|OTG | joshua, you can always use checkinstall and install from source | 02:38 |
| randomusr | heath|OTG: possible to insert graphics into dia | 02:39 |
| tovella | Taim: joshua: i agree.... just stick with Jaunty, for now. | 02:39 |
| Dr_Willis | Hmm.. actually i think it does joshua .. but i only recall needing todo that once a few years back. | 02:39 |
| chasmarang | My Karmic Update Manager is broken does anyone have the same problem | 02:39 |
| heath|OTG | randomusr, yes | 02:39 |
| Dr_Willis | well work time for me. bye all | 02:39 |

| heath|OTG | chasmarang, explain broken | 02:39 |
| g1er | is there an easy way to switch between say firefox and term (active apps) in jaunty? | 02:39 |
| joshua | which still leaves me at sudo was a bad idea | 02:40 |
| randomusr | heath|OTG: lemme guess, built in? | 02:40 |
| heath|OTG | g1er, alt+tab ? | 02:40 |
| heath|OTG | randomusr, I imported pics in there before, don't recall how | 02:40 |
| g1er | healt|OTG, excellent, thanks | 02:40 |

| zaduma | Hey anyone here know how to get easyBCD to work? | 02:41 |
| chasmarang | heath|OTG:Could not apply changes! Fix broken packages first | 02:41 |
| joshua | and last I checked jaunty's firefox was way outdated | 02:41 |
| heath|OTG | chasmarang, from terminal apt-get install -f | 02:41 |
| Taim | joshua: you can change root's pw and use "su" instead if sudo is to your disliking. | 02:41 |
| Taim | joshua: You could always remove firefox's package and install natively. | 02:42 |
| joshua | Taim: of course I can but all the GUI admin tools don't know about that | 02:42 |
| heath|OTG | joshua, sudo -i | 02:42 |
| heath|OTG | or sudo su | 02:42 |
| heath|OTG | don't enable root | 02:42 |
| chasmarang | heath|OTG:I can try that - I was without the -f and I got it was holding back on new Kernels | 02:42 |
| joshua | remember the UAC debacle? | 02:43 |
| heath|OTG | windows? | 02:43 |
| tovella | joshua: what does that mean, really (outdated)... a couple of versions behind? security updates still work, right. | 02:43 |
| joshua | sudo is about as secure as UAC on low | 02:43 |
| boringwall | How do you find out of a background process that you've launched but aren't waiting for has terminated? (in C) | 02:43 |
| heath|OTG | sudo in not for novice I agree | 02:43 |
| boringwall | if* | 02:43 |
| Taim | joshua: That's a decision you can always try to correct with feature requests or development and advocating for it's inclusion. | 02:43 |
| Strider22 | Cleared firefox history as requested. No change. | 02:43 |
| dotblank | joshua, I disagree | 02:43 |
| Favorit | boringwall: implement signal handler? | 02:43 |
| losha | boringwall: you can check its pid for validity... | 02:44 |
| boringwall | To handle what signal? | 02:44 |
| Taim | joshua dotblank: I agree with dotblank. | 02:44 |
| boringwall | ECHLD? | 02:44 |
| boringwall | err SIGCHLD | 02:44 |
| joshua | and some trojan does echo 'alias sudo=~/.trojan/sudo' >> /etc/bashrc | 02:44 |
| zaduma | Anyone know how to get easyBCD to work on Win7/Ubuntu 9.10 set up? | 02:44 |
| Favorit | SIGCHLD i think, yes | 02:44 |
| boringwall | Okay, thank you | 02:44 |
| joshua | and some trojan does echo 'alias sudo=~/.trojan/sudo' >> ~/.bashrc | 02:44 |
| Favorit | let me have a quick look to be sure | 02:44 |
| Strider22 | When I restart firefox I can load the photo upload app once. If I push refresh then firefox hangs at 50% cpu usage (leaves the other cpu free)... Is there a debug option on java that I can set to see what it is trying to load? | 02:45 |
| chasmarang | <heath|OTG>The following packages have been kept back: linux-generic linux-headers-generic linux-image-generic sreadahead | 02:45 |
| Taim | joshua: You could do that with any privledged application. | 02:45 |
| heath|OTG | chasmarang, apt-get dist-upgrade | 02:45 |
| kisuke | is it possible to have a different background image on each workspace? | 02:45 |
| chasmarang | OK | 02:46 |
| morphias | kisuke, yes. the method i know of is with compiz tho | 02:46 |
| sirninja | I'm using ubuntu 9.10. I'm using pulse audio. How do I change what channel the shortcut keys on my laptop control? Right now it does something really weird. | 02:46 |

| CountDown | I just installed Ubuntu 9.10 PPC on an iBook G4. Everything seemed to work fine except suspend, which failed with a user dialog saying that the laptop didn't suspend. After looking around a bit, I modified /etc/yaboot.conf by removing the video=ofonly option and then running ybin and restarting. Now the laptop suspends, but it freezes somewhere in the resume process -- there's just a blank black screen with a frozen mouse cursor o | 02:48 |
| Electric|Master | I'm following this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows | 02:48 |

| CountDown | heath|OTG: Why do you think it's the wireless card? | 02:51 |
| jose__ | alguien habla español? | 02:51 |
| Roasted | heathOTG - the control panel on that thing was nothing short of horrible. The user interface was nice though, but it was too over the top for a dock. I needed it to be functional - not overly pretty | 02:51 |
| chasmarang | thanx | 02:51 |
| heath|OTG | the light never goes off | 02:51 |

"(EE) PSB:Failed to load module "Xpsb" (module does not exist) the only way to start get to UI is to choose "Run Ubuntu in low-graphics mode for just one session" | 02:52 |
| heath|OTG | You just have to take the time and set it up | 02:52 |
| Roasted | heathOTG - like I said, man, horrible control panel. It was just too cumbersome. Docky and AWN surpass it, IMO. | 02:52 |
| Roasted | anybody running AWN dock? | 02:52 |
| Favorit | Electric|Master: which of those 3 commands? | 02:52 |
| zaduma | Anyone here know anything about EASYBCD? | 02:52 |
| heath|OTG | CountDown, the problem I have is trying to get errors, the damn thing is dead before it can write anything | 02:52 |
| Electric|Master | Favorit: What commands? | 02:52 |
| jose__ | esque soy nuevo y no hablo español | 02:52 |
| Electric|Master | I used ls /media/root | 02:52 |
| Favorit | Electric|Master: aha, then you mounted the wrong partition | 02:52 |
| jose__ | no hablo ingles | 02:53 |
| Electric|Master | oh | 02:53 |
| jose__ | jeje | 02:53 |
| Favorit | Electric|Master: umount /media/root | 02:53 |
| jose__ | me equivoque | 02:53 |

| heath|OTG | Roasted, I have AWN dock on this laptop, but I'm telling cairo rules | 02:53 |
| morphias | jose__: este channel por ingles | 02:53 |
| Favorit | Electric|Master: fdisk -l /dev/sd<disk>, look for partition tagged as Linux, mount that one :) | 02:53 |
| CountDown | heath|OTG: Where were you looking for clues? I'll try to confirm. | 02:53 |
| Electric|Master | "bash: unmount: command not found" | 02:53 |
| Favorit | umount, not unmount | 02:54 |
| Electric|Master | oh | 02:54 |
| Roasted | heathOTG - you're talking to somebody who used cairo dock extensively for a long time and just recently tried out docky and awn. | 02:54 |
| heath|OTG | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=913868 CountDown I read through this | 02:54 |
| Roasted | heathOTG - cairo is nice at first cause it has all of the eye candy, but at some point you just need stability and a clean usable dock. That's where I got to, and that's why I stopped using cairo. | 02:54 |
| Roasted | I have cairo on 3 computers, and each computer I had different buggy issues with it. Solid, but needs work. | 02:54 |
| CountDown | heath|OTG: OK, thanks. I'll ping you if I find anything new. | 02:54 |
| heath|OTG | cool | 02:54 |
| Electric|Master | k its unmounted | 02:54 |
| Favorit | Electric|Master: ok, now, how many hdd's do you have in that machine? | 02:55 |
| heath|OTG | Roasted, that's strange, I have it on three computers as well and it runs great. AWN is fine, but it has it's annoyances | 02:56 |
| Roasted | heathOTG - I agree. I hated AWN. But its beta they just put out seems to surpass what I expected. | 02:56 |
| Electric|Master | Favorit: I have one hardrive, 2 partitions | 02:56 |
| Electric|Master | One for Ubuntu and one for W7 | 02:56 |
| heath|OTG | really... I'll check it out | 02:56 |
| losha | Electric|Master: no swap partition? | 02:57 |
| Favorit | Electric|Master: well, then it's rather easy, do "fdisk -l /dev/sda", look for the number that has "Linux" as last column, do mount /dev/sd<that_number> /media/root | 02:57 |
| Electric|Master | ok | 02:57 |
| Favorit | Electric|Master: and then repeat the grub commando | 02:57 |
| Favorit | losha: that would be weird custom installation, but well, you never know :P | 02:57 |
| Electric|Master | Ok. /dev/sd5 | 02:57 |
| morphias | Favorit: u goin commando? lol jk | 02:57 |
| Favorit | Electric|Master: sda5 then, not sd5 | 02:58 |
| Favorit | sorry, typoed earlier | 02:58 |
| Electric|Master | I know | 02:58 |
| Electric|Master | I got it mounted | 02:58 |
| * Favorit puts a red bandana, labelled as "grub". | 02:58 | |
| Electric|Master | Which one is the boot one? | 02:58 |
| Favorit | Electric|Master: if you have 2 partitions in the output of fdisk -l, then there is none and only that mount is enough before you will run the grub command | 02:59 |
| Electric|Master | ok | 02:59 |
| Electric|Master | So I don't need to mount the /media/root/boot thingy? | 02:59 |
| zaduma | EASYBCD anyone? | 02:59 |
| Favorit | nope | 02:59 |
| Electric|Master | ok I'll try it :) | 02:59 |

| donald_ | drivers don't show up in hardware drivers | 03:32 |
| KindOne | joebix: do you see "Sound Cards" | 03:32 |
| mhs | supercom32: dual core machines have two cpu's on one die. | 03:32 |
| mhs | supercom32: the only difference is 1) for licensing some applications like Oracle, and b) memory bandwidth. | 03:33 |
| joebix | sound card? | 03:33 |
| joebix | where? | 03:33 |
| supercom32 | mhs: Ok, memory bandwith is the only bottle neck then for a dual core cpu to complete with? | 03:33 |
| joebix | under the sound preferences, I see hardware | 03:33 |
| greezmunkey | Garbin, you could try that, but it should already be there, try this in a terminal "ps aux | grep -e work" (no quotes) and see if anything called network manager shows up | 03:33 |
| mcurran | lshw | grep 'sound' maybe? | 03:34 |
| mhs | supercom32: its not much of a bottleneck, except for some HPC applications | 03:34 |
| joebix | and it says Internal Audio 1 output/1 input | 03:34 |
| Garbin | OK | 03:34 |
| joebix | Analog Stereo Duplex | 03:34 |
| KindOne | joebix: click the speaker icon, and when it open, you will see the text "Sound Cards" and to the right of that, there should be your sound card. if there is, click it. | 03:34 |
| akav | mhs: Just looked at a video on the website. Wireshark looks like it might do the trick. | 03:34 |
| akav | mhs: I was using IPTraf, which has no time measurement that I can find. | 03:34 |
| mhs | supercom32: and dual core CPU's are superior in terms of power consumption (and thus heat output too.) | 03:34 |
| mhs | akav: wireshark is pretty nifty | 03:35 |
| Garbin | greezmunkey, yes I see, that is an item called NetworkManager | 03:35 |
| akav | mhs: Cool, installing now. Thanks. | 03:35 |
| supercom32 | mhs: Good point. Would you happen to know how many processors/cores Ubuntu supports? | 03:35 |
| mhs | supercom32: off the top of my head? I'd guess there's no practical limit. | 03:35 |
| greezmunkey | Garbin, in thet output do you see the pid number...should be the second entry | 03:36 |
| Billiard | supercom32: more than you will ever have linux suppors like 64 or something crazy | 03:36 |
| mhs | I was going to say 96 | 03:36 |
| supercom32 | mhs: Well, microsoft OS's support a limited number based on distro, so... Just wondering. | 03:36 |
| Garbin | yes, something like 922? | 03:36 |
| eli7777 | my computer is booting up in low graphics mode if i have the nvidia driver active. | 03:37 |
| Garbin | the seconed column? | 03:37 |
| akav | and out comes Sierra Nevada #2. | 03:37 |
| mcurran | well does ubuntu know how to properly allocate usage for a core i7 or does that all happen in the cpu itself | 03:37 |
| Garbin | greezmunkey, the second column? | 03:37 |
| KindOne | joebix: did you dix the issue? | 03:37 |
| mhs | supercom32: the reason Microsoft restricts the number of processors is not because their OS doesn't support it, but because if you are willing to pay lots of money for a system with 32 cores, they know you can pay thousands for an OS. | 03:37 |

| KindOne | toffan: that program is designed for Windows. if you want to run it on Ubuntu, you need to install WINE. | 03:52 |
| greezmunkey | Garbin, if you use the package manager, first go to wicd's web site. You have to import some settings first, but the cool part is that once you do, NM will be unloaded as part of the install proc! | 03:52 |
| LordHawke13 | YES!! | 03:52 |

| Random832 | anyway, you can download the pakcage from http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/libblkid1, and extract it by hand | 04:07 |
| jonzbcc | I just upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10. The graphical system monitor app shows memory resources being used at like 80% when ubuntu finishes logging in. (with the usual start up programs). It used to be (9.04) that the usual clutter of the start-up apps were only taking up a small amount of memory. So, I logged in (i am now) to failsafe gnome, and see everything is the way it was when I was at 9.04 (only 30% memory in use). Can anyone suggest w | 04:07 |
| jonzbcc | here to start? Or am I dumb for doing an upgrade and not a clean-install? | 04:07 |
| mcurran | I don't think startupmanager works in karmic | 04:07 |
| stealth_ | Random832: ext4, I believe. I'd check, but libblkid.so.1 says there is no information avaliable. | 04:07 |
| jrib | jonzbcc: figure out what applications are responsible for the memory usage exactly | 04:08 |
| Jordan_U | stealth_: You can chroot in from a LiveCD and reinstall libblkid1 | 04:08 |
| Random832 | stealth_, you may need to boot from a livecd to fix it | 04:08 |
| Jordan_U | stealth_: What is the exact error you are getting? | 04:08 |
| greezmunkey | ubuntunewbie, in a terminal, run top, look at it...check your cpu %'s, swap size, and amount used, etc. | 04:08 |
| stealth_ | Jordan_U, Random832: I know, which is why I'm asking where I can find the updated file. Ubuntu didn't upgrade it during the upgrade from 9.04, I'm assuming | 04:09 |
| jonzbcc | jrib: well, when I was logged in normal Gnome, the "processes tab" of "system monitor" showed everything in the CPU column was at 0. should I just run "top" at the command line, and let you knwo what shows? | 04:09 |
| Random832 | huh?? | 04:09 |
| stealth_ | Jordan_U: mount: /lib/libblkid.so.1: no version information available (required by mount)\ | 04:09 |

| Random832 | stealth_, that gets you the .deb, you still need a way to either install it or extract it by hand | 04:10 |
| tenna_smle | which one is better to install? | 04:10 |
| stealth_ | Jordan_U: yeah, I'm pretty familiar with linux. | 04:10 |

| tenna_smle | puff, but has it been debugged sufficiently? | 04:11 |
| Jordan_U | stealth_: Then just chroot in via livecd and run "sudo apt-get install --reinstall libblkid1" | 04:11 |

| KindOne | I have a Nvidia GeForce 4 440MX SE 64MB and this installed "nvidia-glx-96" "nvidia settings" "xserver-xorg-video-nv" and i can only get a resolution of 640x480 ... is there a way to fix this? | 04:29 |
| puff | mcurran: Also, to see if a package is currently installed, "sudo dpkg -l | fgrep name" | 04:29 |
| losha | judaman: mcurran: re: why use a repo, I don't think it for dependencies, those are in the .deb file, I think it's so you can provide updates via update manager... | 04:29 |
| mcurran | thanks puff, but I want to do it from terminal | 04:29 |
| puff | mcurran: Aptitude is a shell program. | 04:29 |
| losha | mcurran: see also apt-file .... | 04:30 |
| nic1 | rashed2020: i use i3 window manager | 04:30 |
| puff | mcurran: aptitude basically replaces apt-get/apt-cache with a more coherent, unified shell tool. | 04:30 |
| puff | mcurran: However, for some purposes, the original dpkg shell tool is still useful. | 04:30 |
| benay1 | hello folks, I have windows vista as guest OS on Ubuntu 9.10 using VMware player, but NAT is not working | 04:30 |
| mcurran | cool, yeah i got confused and was thinking synaptic | 04:30 |
| zilla1 | where does grub install by default? | 04:30 |
| judaman | losha, if you install a .dep it wont retrieve a dep that you dont have on the system | 04:31 |
| puff | zilla1: /usr/lib/grub and usr/sbin/grub* | 04:31 |
| puff | zilla1, mcurran: Another useful use for dpkg: "dpkg -L packagename" lists all of the files that the package installs. | 04:31 |
| flanders | Is it possible to automatically split audio tracks in K3B by certain intervals (every X seconds) or into a specific number of parts? I know it can be done in Brasero (for GNOME), but I can only find an option to split tracks manually with K3B, not automatically? | 04:31 |

| benay1 | Could not connect Ethernet0 to virtual network "/dev/vmnet8". More information can be found in the vmware.log file. Failed to connect virtual device Ethernet0. How can I fix NAT? | 04:32 |
| losha | judaman: it will if you use gdebi. The dependency info is in the deb file. But it's true, all that gets done for you if you use a repo.... | 04:32 |
| puff | So, frozen mouse pointer, anybody? | 04:32 |
| rashed2020 | nic1: Sorry :( Never used it. | 04:32 |
| bastid_raZor | benay1: #vmware is possible place to ask. | 04:33 |

| tenna_smle | vmware seems to play better with 9.10 over 8.04 | 04:34 |
| KindOne | root" "sudo apt-get install packagehere" | 04:34 |
| puff | Guest70303: Yes, as long as the package has no dependencies. | 04:34 |
| greezmunkey | tenna_smle,go for the throat! | 04:34 |
| mcurran | KindOne: Yes, there is a way, but it's wicked complicated, you'll need to basically find someone's xorg.conf and copy their device section for the nvidia driver online somewhere, but there are two options like "addargbvisuals" "true" and another one... | 04:34 |
| tenna_smle | greenzmunkey appreciate all the cheerleading comments =) | 04:34 |
| Guest70303 | puff: I asked how... apt-get upgrade packname doesn't work.... | 04:35 |
| losha | flanders: I'm curious. Why would you want to split at fixed intervals. They're unlikely to coincide with breaks in the audio? | 04:35 |
| puff | Guest70303: What KindOne said; re-isusing the apt-get install command will install the latest version, if oyu're behind. | 04:35 |
| Guest70303 | ah, thanks | 04:35 |
| puff | Guest70303: Or will tell you that you're already on the latest version., | 04:35 |
| Guest70303 | k | 04:35 |
| puff | Guest70303: However, if the new version has dependcies on other dammit. | 04:35 |
| puff | Oh well. | 04:35 |
| plytheman | evening guys, anyone have suggestions on a distro to put on a thumb drive to fix a friends intel powered macbook? | 04:35 |
| flanders | losha, it's for my car's audio player. The seek function is horrible (VERY slow.) | 04:35 |
| puff | Guess he'll learn that part the hard way. | 04:35 |
| KindOne | mcurran: i don't care how complicated... send me a PM if you find a link | 04:35 |
| greezmunkey | KindOne, I posted mine, but I got your nick wrong see above | 04:35 |
| puff | plytheman: UBuntu works pretty well on a thumb drive. | 04:36 |
| plytheman | does buntu have a mac version? I don't even know =S | 04:36 |
| benay1 | :( 294 people in #vwmare but the channel seems dead, no one is talking | 04:36 |
| losha | flanders: um, try wavbreaker (disclaimer: I've never used this myself) | 04:36 |
| flanders | losha, so what I do is split automatically at every 60 seconds. If I want to continue where I left off (podcast episode, for example), I can just quickly skip to the track # I left off on. | 04:36 |
| mezquitale | plytheman, im pretty sure there's a lot of people with macs that have ubuntu installed on your machines | 04:36 |
| benay1 | no one is giving me a clue there :( | 04:36 |
| flanders | losha, is it a plugin for k3b or another application entirely? | 04:36 |
| ^c|0ud^ | Can anyone tell me how to get the icons back from the weather applet, they are missing? Please and Thank You! :) | 04:36 |
| judaman | So im on ubuntu 9.10 and vpnc just doesn't work, I start it and all my connections to outside world drop, worked fine on 9.04, dammiitt! i hate debugging | 04:36 |
| KindOne | greezmunkey: just PM me a link | 04:36 |
| plytheman | mezquitale, sweet deal, hopefully he does have intel and not ppc, should make things a bit easier | 04:37 |

| slide | I have a VGA 8" touchscreen LCD monitor connected as a secondary monitor, the native resolution is 1600x1200 but under Display Preferences that is not an option, is there anyway to add it or manually set it res to that? | 04:37 |
| losha | flanders: sorry, it's a separate app. You did ask for a k3b feature.... | 04:37 |
| benay1 | has anyone here has experience with vmware player 3, ubuntu 9.10 as host, and vista as guest to have NAT works? | 04:37 |
| mcurran | KindOne: I used to do it by running displayconfig-gtk, setting the display the way you want it with the vesa driver, restarting, and then replacing the vesa driver with nvidia in xorg.conf, the only problem, displayconfig-gtk is now obsolete, so you'll need to add some old repos in order to get it, or download it and all it's dependencies. | 04:37 |
| greezmunkey | KindOne, I don't PM | 04:37 |
| flanders | losha, I can use mp3splt-gtk to split the mp3 podcasts, but I was hoping K3B had a similar feature that Brasero has: auto-split tracks. | 04:38 |
| KindOne | greezmunkey: okay | 04:38 |
| ^c|0ud^ | Can anyone tell me how to get the icons back from the weather applet, they are missing? Please and Thank You! :) | 04:38 |
| flanders | losha, Brasero is acting really goofy for me. It doesn't seem to unmount discs when erasing them or when burning, and this has ruined some of my CDs. | 04:38 |
| rweait | warnings every few seconds from Karmic. No problem on previous 8.04 installation. Where to look? unable to enumerate USB device on port 1 | 04:38 |
| losha | flanders: brasero is incredibly buggy. Not sure why.... | 04:38 |
| lovre | what is that program for ubuntu that creates thumbnails? | 04:39 |
| flanders | losha, also, Brasero puts the FIRST 60 seconds as the LAST track, but the rest are in proper order. This seems like a bug that was overlooked. | 04:39 |
| rage | Can you have multiple drives mounting a single point in fstab? e.g UUID=x /mnt/usb_backup ext3 user,noauto 0 0\n UUID=y /mnt/usb_backup ext3 user,noauto 0 0, | 04:39 |
| rage | Obviously there would be a conflict if both are plugged in at once, but I am not fussed | 04:39 |
| flanders | rage, that sounds impossible. | 04:39 |
| losha | flanders: well, I don't see any google hits for k3b and autosplit.... | 04:39 |
| KindOne | mcurran: if you find any more information about my driver issue, you can PM me. | 04:39 |
| flanders | rage, what about looking into LVM then? | 04:39 |
| flanders | losha, no problem, thanks for trying though. | 04:40 |
| losha | flanders: actually, this site says it can split files, so poke around: http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-extra-gear&m=111866789022998&w=2 | 04:41 |
| Tartaros | the gFTP application tells me "The protocol 'FTP' is currently not supported." how wrong is that?! | 04:41 |
| mcurran | I don't know what that means. Try seeing if you have anything in /etc/X11/xorg.conf now, and if not, run the program for display settings and add a monitor, vesa driver, and resolution, restart, replace "vesa" with "nvidia" and the resolutions should stay. | 04:41 |
| Tartaros | what other protocol should it support than the one in it's name... | 04:41 |
| lstarnes | Tartaros: what about ftp in lowercase? | 04:41 |
| flanders | losha, I know it can split manually, but that's tedious. | 04:42 |
| mcurran | KindOne: I would just give you my old xorg, but I don't have that machine anymore. If you have an email, I can email it to you in a day or so... | 04:42 |

| Tartaros | lstarnes: heh, looks like that was it. still, it's uppercase in the name too :) | 04:43 |
| greezmunkey | KindOne, are you not able to use the xorg file I posted for you? | 04:43 |
| iconmefisto | also, I can't ping from the remote machine to this one | 04:43 |
| greezmunkey | KindOne, I have the same basic card... | 04:43 |
| flanders | losha, if only GNOME programs weren't so buggy. | 04:43 |
| KindOne | greezmunkey: i am about to try that, i just like having multiple backup plans... | 04:44 |
| flanders | losha, ironically, even though I use the GNOME desktop, I find myself preferring KDE applications. | 04:44 |
| greezmunkey | KindOne, k | 04:44 |
| losha | flanders: the solution to *that* is to learn to use the cli versions.... | 04:44 |
| Hb_Kai | hey, i'm trying to burn a disc on ubuntu but it's not working. i was wondering if it has anything to do with the ISO-13346 "UDF" file system on the disc, does ubuntu have support for this? | 04:44 |

| mcurran | I'm actually compiling the kernel now, hoping I'll get better 3D acceleration afterwards, but I don't really see why I would since I didn't add any specific instructions towards drm or anything. | 04:49 |

| mcurran | icommefisto, I had the sound problem on my karmic rc1 install also and its here to | 04:52 |
| losha | alabd: your locate info may be out of date. What does ls -l /usr/bin/libtool say? | 04:52 |
| lstarnes | alabd: or dpkg -L libtool | 04:52 |
| alabd | losha: how to up2date it ? | 04:52 |
| alabd | lstarnes: /usr/bin/libtool | 04:52 |
| lstarnes | alabd: then it is installed | 04:52 |
| mcurran | icommefisto did you download the necessary packages for nfs support? | 04:53 |
| losha | alabd: sudo updatedb (and then wait...) | 04:53 |
| lstarnes | alabd: /usr/bin/libtool is a file, not a directory | 04:53 |

| banisterfiend | Jordan_U: ok thanks...just apt-get install 7zip ? | 05:17 |
| mcurran | Timmymayes: or use nvidia-settings to configure a second monitor with nvidia card | 05:17 |
| khensthoth | banisterfiend: You need to install an additional package called p7zip | 05:17 |
| SpaceRat | chu_: huh? | 05:17 |
| Timmymayes | mcurran, my question is more about controlling windows with dual monitros | 05:18 |
| Timmymayes | i want a hotkey to jump a window from screen to screen | 05:18 |
| chu_ | Well, I want hardware which specifically works with ubuntu | 05:18 |
| SpaceRat | chu_: like "give me animalic names..." "pig" | 05:18 |
| mcurran | Maybe there's a plugin for compiz for that? | 05:18 |
| banisterfiend | khensthoth: will that make it so i can use .7z files with my normal archive manager? or ill have to use a special 7zip program to open .7z archives? | 05:18 |

| SpaceRat | chu_: i'm not much into Linux, as it doesn't even install :) | 05:19 |
| Timmymayes | compis? | 05:19 |
| mcurran | SpaceRat: You mean you can't handle an install | 05:19 |
| SpaceRat | chu_: but if i would want a system that runs for sure, i would get the system made from components at a pc store | 05:19 |
| SpaceRat | chu_: rather than getting a complete system :) | 05:19 |
| khensthoth | banisterfiend: If you install p7zip (or p7zip-full) you will be able to use it with the normal archive manager. | 05:19 |
| BableOn | hey folks, I just upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10 and all went well except my lilo.conf was wipped clean so lilo would not install | 05:19 |

| khensthoth | banisterfiend: Just note that I have experienced problems with password protected 7zip files in Ubuntu 9.10 with p7zip, but installing p7zip-full solves it. | 05:20 |

| noir | Hey guys. I've got a question about Brasero. Anyone know what kind of image files it produces with the "CD copy" option? It makes 2 files: a small .toc file and a large image file with no extension. Mounting it (at least as ISO9660) doesn't seem to work... | 05:25 |
| Jordan_U | BableOn: Why are you using lilo? | 05:25 |
| noir | BableOn: maybe check to see if there's a file called "lilo.conf~"? | 05:26 |
| Jordan_U | BableOn: Ubuntu is never supposed to delete configuration files that have been edited by the user, so it should either still be there or you should be able to generate an identical config file by re-installing lilo ( But I'm still curious why you would do such a thing :) | 05:27 |

| BableOn | been a while.. I might have selected lilo when I installed this ages back because I'mm more familiar with it.. maybe it has both boot loaders installed and i have nothing to worry about | 05:29 |
| tanath | i'm having a weird issue with an SD card. i put files on it, and then when i unmounted it, it complained of errors. i can still see the files in nautilus, but gparted says it's unallocated space.. | 05:29 |
| BableOn | now just trying to work out which one it's using | 05:29 |
| mcurran | gparted says unallocated or is it black | 05:30 |
| tanath | that is, my blackberry complained of errors | 05:30 |

| noir | tanath: sounds like something happened midway through a file copy. Best thing to do is copy off all your data and reformat the card. Use photorec to recover corrupt data if necessary | 05:30 |
| tanath | it's grey. gparted says unallocated | 05:31 |
| mcurran | tanath: That's definately wierd. | 05:31 |

| mcurran | Did you try unmounting from terminal and then remounting the sd, then refreshing gparted, sometimes the automount function in gparted is finicky | 05:33 |
| tanath | mcurran, yep | 05:33 |
| tanath | mcurran, i wanna tell gparted to check teh filesystem but it doesn't see one :-/ | 05:34 |
| tanath | mcurran, yet i just copied the files out of it | 05:34 |
| mcurran | I'd just copy the files out and reformat | 05:34 |

| dewmsolo | hello all | 05:35 |

| eigma | lstarnes: worked, thanks! | 05:35 |
| Billiard | noir: whats anoying? | 05:35 |
| noir | Billiard: I can't tell what kind of filesystem it used to make the image. It makes a small .toc file and a large disk image with no extension. "file" command just returns "data" on it | 05:36 |
| noir | Billiard: and Googling around got me nowhere. Tried mounting it as a .bin and an ISO9660 | 05:36 |
| Billiard | noir: its probably just a byte for byte copy of the image, so an iso if the cd was in iso format | 05:37 |
| dewmsolo | here is a quick one for you guys...i just installed 9.10 for the first time and now i'm looking to install the build-essential package except apt-get doesn't see it...am i forgetting something or was it renamed? | 05:37 |
| linuxguy2009 | noir: check pm | 05:37 |
| Billiard | noir: you try mounting without specifying the fstype? | 05:37 |
| lstarnes | dewmsolo: that should work | 05:37 |
| noir | Billiard: yup, and "auto" mode. Says "you must specify the filesystem type." | 05:38 |
| dewmsolo | sudo apt-get install build-essential .....it returns Couldn't find package build-essential | 05:38 |

| Jordan_U | Madpilot: Ubottu is somewhat narcoleptic | 05:38 |
| mcurran | dewmsolo: did you check your sources.list to make sure all the repos are uncommented. | 05:39 |
| bastid_raZor | noir: copy cd isn't intended to be mounted. if you want to mount it choose the iso option | 05:39 |
| dewmsolo | doesn't synaptic do that when you run it? cause i went in there after trying in terminal and it wasn't there either | 05:39 |
| dewmsolo | i just updated the list...i will try again now | 05:39 |
| Geistanon | not necessarily | 05:39 |
| noir | bastid_raZor: well it shouldn't matter whether it's intended to be mounted...there's got to be some rhyme and reason to the filesystem the copy uses, no? | 05:39 |

| dewmsolo | yeah that was the problem ....my bad....list wasn't up to date | 05:40 |

| Jordan_U | alex87: np | 05:42 |
| linuxguy2009 | noir: I personally find brasero and k3b to be lacking in trusting my burns to them for fear of data loss. I bought Nero Linux 4 its great. BTW file roller can open iso files for extraction if thats what you need. | 05:42 |
| lstarnes | alex87: diff3 should work if you have the original and the two modified versions that need merging | 05:42 |
| Geistanon | noir, what are the files currently? | 05:42 |
| firefly2442 | ok, what's the difference between the card name versus playback? | 05:42 |
| khensthoth | firefly2442: Or you could check if your BIOS settings has an option to disable the build-in audio. | 05:42 |
| Billiard | linuxguy2009: nero linux?, just use dd and cdrecord | 05:43 |
| noir | linuxguy2009: I know, I hate Brasero, but I had to make some disc images earlier and I had no proper image tools and no Internet connection to get them | 05:43 |
| Jordan_U | linuxguy2009: Why do you fear data loss? They can bot check the md5sum to confirm that the disk burned properly. | 05:43 |
| alex87 | lstarnes: thanks, i don't have the old file unfortunately | 05:43 |
| mcurran | Brasero has a lot of bugs, but it's my favorite | 05:43 |
| Geistanon | noir, ISO? CUE? | 05:43 |
| noir | Geistanon: I don't know what they are...for each disc copy I have a small .toc file and a large disc image with no extension | 05:43 |

| Ender2070 | mcurran - ty | 05:44 |
| Billiard | noir: is it maybe a format to be opened by brasero? | 05:44 |
| firefly2442 | so, I can double click on a file and it will play correctly in media player, however I want to play it in mplayer, but there's no sound, I went into preferences and sound but I don't know how to configure the driver (or which one to use for that matter, alsa, oss... etc.) | 05:44 |

| Ender2070 | mcurran - thank you | 05:45 |

| mcurran | oh, no prob | 05:45 |
| noir | Billiard: that's what I need to find out. I mean obviously the .toc files are meant to be burned by Brasero, yes. I just want to avoid wasting discs on each one of these images (I have 6 or 7) | 05:45 |
| Ender2070 | :) | 05:45 |

| datz | Billiard: I didn't create a dir for the new user | 05:47 |
| mcurran | Is there really much performance gain by running raid configurations anyways? Comparitively meaning same disks, but two of them instead of one? | 05:47 |

| noir | Geistanon, Billiard: bchunk isn't working unfortunately; it needs a .bin file and a .cue file. I have .toc files, not .cue files. I tried converting .toc to .cue with cuetools, but it throws an I/O error so the file must have a nonstandard syntax or something. Brasero has really done a number on me here... | 06:01 |

| noir | Billiard: Rubyripper, now. Used to use sound-juicer and various stuff. But like I said I had none of those options when I made these images. | 06:02 |
| soreau | bluntman225: It's just like adding any other launcher except the command is 'killall firefox' | 06:03 |
| noir | Jordan_U: No, Brasero is the _only_ thing that will open it. | 06:03 |
| bluntman225 | how to tell what version im usin | 06:03 |
| Jordan_U | !version | bluntman225 | 06:03 |
| ubottu | bluntman225: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy <package> » | 06:03 |
| losha | Every version of brasero I've ever tried to use was either incredibly under-featured, or incredibly buggy.... | 06:03 |
| Geistanon | noir, try bin2iso | 06:03 |
| === patrick is now known as Guest56513 | ||
| Geistanon | noir, apt-get should have it | 06:03 |
| datz | Billiard: new user not in sudoers file | 06:03 |
| Geistanon | noir, i lied | 06:04 |
| Geistanon | noir, one moment | 06:04 |
| Jordan_U | noir: I have a crazy idea to try if you get really desparate :) | 06:04 |
| Billiard | datz: do you want him to be? | 06:04 |
| bluntman225 | Jordan_U: Ubuntu 8.10 | 06:04 |
| datz | Billiard: well I just want to be able to run this app as another user | 06:04 |
| Geistanon | noir, http://users.eastlink.ca/~doiron/bin2iso/ | 06:04 |
| noir | Jordan_U: hahaha alright. of course I could just burn the CDs but that'd be a big defeat for me | 06:04 |
| Billiard | datz: why do you need to access another users home directory to do that? | 06:05 |
| datz | Billiard: if that's what it takes, then yes | 06:05 |
| ardchoille | bluntman225: yeah, that's also known as Intrepid Ibex | 06:05 |
| soreau | Jordan_U: Before posting, grade it on the hax scale in your head ;) | 06:05 |
| Flannel | datz: You'll want sudo then. To give sudo permissions to someone, add them to the admin group: sudo adduser uesrname admin | 06:05 |
| noir | Geistanon: ah thanks for the link, knew it wasn't in the repos | 06:05 |
| datz | Flannel: so just add them to a group, sounds easy enough, swhat I was thinking acutally | 06:05 |
| Geistanon | make sure to read the beginning of the page as well noir, as it pertains to your case | 06:06 |
| Flannel | datz: If they need to run a program as another user, you'll need to give them sudo access in one way or another. The easiest/simplest way to do that is to add them to the admin group. | 06:06 |
| Flannel | datz: If you just want them to be able to share files and stuff, yeah, just regular permissions can handle that. | 06:06 |
| datz | Flannel: thanks | 06:07 |
| Jordan_U | bluntman225: 8.10 is no longer supported ( and is not recieving any security updates ), you should really upgrade | 06:07 |
| ardchoille | Jordan_U: you sure about that? | 06:08 |
| user3 | yahoo | 06:08 |
| zilla1 | i *think* i installed 9.04 in some empty space at the end of my drive with windows on it. in the logical part where I installed /boot, there isn't a grub directory. What should I deduce from that? | 06:08 |
| Jordan_U | bluntman225: ardchoille: Wait, misread on old-releases.ubuntu.com, disreguard that :) | 06:08 |
| ardchoille | 8.10 should be supported until April of 2011 I think | 06:08 |
| mcurran | So how many days to you think it's gonna take for this pos to compile the latest kernel? It's a Pentium II with 256 RAM. | 06:08 |
| ardchoille | ah, ok | 06:08 |
| Geistanon | mcurran, you're multitasking with that setup? | 06:09 |
| Flannel | ardchoille: Correct | 06:09 |
| ardchoille | erm.. 8.10 should be supported until April of 2010 I think | 06:09 |
| Flannel | ardchoille: er, sorry. April 2010 | 06:09 |
| mcurran | Yeah, I can't believe it's actually working... | 06:09 |
| ardchoille | yeah | 06:09 |
| Madpilot | mcurran, which museum did you pilfer that out of? :) | 06:10 |
| Jordan_U | mcurran: Less than a day I would guess, less than an hour if you only include what you need | 06:10 |
| ardchoille | Madpilot: lol | 06:10 |
| jennie | I have two HDD, in first one windows xp is installed and it is SATA 80 GB with 2 partitions and there is second HDD 120 gb IDE in which ubuntu is intalled and now i want to reinstall winxp , what to do so that ubuntu can get back ??? | 06:10 |
| infidel2 | what does this mean: 'sudo: must be setuid root'? | 06:10 |
| mcurran | Well I had a 2000 dollar laptop so I gave my decent emachines to my sister, then my laptop got stolen, so now I'm stuck with the ancient desktop | 06:10 |
| Jordan_U | infidel2: Have you been using chmod recently? | 06:11 |
| datz | Flannel: all is working, thanks | 06:11 |
| infidel2 | no | 06:11 |

| mcurran | Jordan_U how would I exclude what I don't need, I'd love to know... | 06:12 |
| Jordan_U | infidel2: What is the output of "ls -l /usr/bin/sudo" ? | 06:12 |
| mcurran | is there a command for that | 06:12 |
| zilla1 | oh. shoot. sorry you all, kid got the keyboard | 06:12 |
| RDove | 2 to you too | 06:12 |
| RDove | lol | 06:12 |
| Geistanon | mcurran, compile the kernel yourself | 06:12 |
| Jordan_U | mcurran: make menuconfig | 06:12 |
| Geistanon | mcurran, it is a lengthy process | 06:13 |
| Geistanon | mcurran, as well as being very involved | 06:13 |
| Jordan_U | mcurran: But if you weren't planning on doing that already you should know that there are pre-built kernels http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ | 06:14 |
| khensthoth | jennie: What do you mean by "so that ubuntu can get back"? | 06:14 |
| mcurran | Well I'm compiling by scractch like "sudo CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=1 AUTOBUILD=1 NOEXTRAS=1 fakeroot debian/rules binary-debs" | 06:14 |
| jennie | Khensthoth after reinstalling the grub will mess up and then i wont get menu | 06:14 |
| infidel2 | Jordan_U -rwsr-xr-x | 06:15 |
| Jordan_U | mcurran: Why? | 06:15 |
| mcurran | Doesn't that make it more efficient. | 06:15 |
| Jordan_U | infidel2: The full line ( the user is important ) | 06:15 |
| infidel2 | root root | 06:15 |
| infidel2 | Jordan_U sudo isnt what's telling me this, a program is | 06:16 |
| Jordan_U | infidel2: What program? | 06:16 |
| infidel2 | strace | 06:16 |
| Geistanon | mcurran~ having a smaller kernel will take time off of your boot but little else | 06:16 |
| Jordan_U | infidel2: You need to put strace after sudo ( you can't strace setuid binaries ) | 06:17 |
| infidel2 | oh | 06:17 |
| khensthoth | jennie: If you were to reinstall WinXP in your 80GB SATA, then proceed to reinstall grub, shouldn't grub automatically detect the operating systems you have? | 06:17 |
| mcurran | Geistanon: But does compiling this way from the linux-image package optimize the kernel at all, or do you still get all the needles modules and everything else that doesn't pertain to the hardware/configuration | 06:18 |
| Jordan_U | mcurran: Doesn't optimize it at all | 06:18 |
| mcurran | Well, there should be a way to trim the kernel somehow... | 06:18 |
| === koala_ is now known as HappiHippo | ||
| _carlos | :) | 06:19 |
| _carlos | hello | 06:19 |
| mcurran | This is the only way I know how to compile, because I used to do it this way when I had to appy a patch to my old laptop. | 06:20 |
| Jordan_U | mcurran: Unfortunately there is no way to automatically build a kernel for your specific hardware ( that I know of at least ). You need to figure out exactly what hardware you have and use make menuconfig to manually choose what to include | 06:20 |
| _carlos | that's right.. | 06:20 |
| _carlos | make menuconfig is your friend | 06:20 |
| noir | Billiard, Geistanon: Thanks very much for your help! Finally figured it out. Needed to use bin2iso to convert the .toc file to .cue, and then bchunk to convert the .bin and .cue directly to WAVs with the "-w" switch | 06:21 |
| Jonny_ | are there any help channels? New to Ubuntu | 06:21 |
| === Jonny_ is now known as Guest12672 | ||
| Madpilot | Guest12672, this is the main help channel | 06:21 |
| Guest12672 | I'm trying to get my flash player to work, it's specifically youtube that Doesn't work | 06:22 |
| Geistanon | noir~ glad to have helped | 06:22 |
| === dahlia_ is now known as dahlia | ||
| Guest12672 | like when i try to click the player in firefox | 06:22 |
| Guest12672 | doesn't respond | 06:22 |
| mcurran | so what would be a command to begin a compilation with menuconfig? | 06:22 |
| Jordan_U | Guest12672: How did you install flash? | 06:22 |
| Geistanon | Guest12672, it would be helpful if you would register a name | 06:23 |
| === Guest12672 is now known as pipboy | ||
| mcurran | actually nevermind, I'll look into it and read first | 06:23 |
| pipboy | sorry, i guess my previous name wasnt any good | 06:23 |
| noir | Geistanon: Hmm...looks like I spoke too soon. The WAV files are corrupt. Dang! I was so close | 06:23 |
| pipboy | good looking out | 06:23 |
| Geistanon | pipboy, in firefox go to about:plugins | 06:23 |
| pipboy | Jordan, i installed it when prompted in firefox, installed the adobe flash version (1st selection) and on another not im using X64 | 06:24 |
| Geistanon | pipboy, What has the mime type "application/x-shockwave-flash" | 06:24 |
| Geistanon | pipboy~ within the about:plugins page | 06:24 |
| pipboy | give me a sec | 06:25 |
| pipboy | geistanon, application/x-shockwave-flash Shockwave Flash swf Yes | 06:25 |
| Geistanon | pipboy~ is there only the 1? | 06:26 |
| sontek | When I ssh into my server it takes a good 2 minutes before it brings up the login prompt | 06:26 |
| Geistanon | pipboy~ most times that flash fails in ubu it is because of conflicting plugins | 06:26 |
| sontek | it doesn't take that long when I'm using putty from windows on the same computer | 06:26 |
| sontek | anything I can check in my ubuntu config? | 06:26 |
| Jordan_U | sontek: Is your server listening on port 22 and accessable via the internet? | 06:26 |
| losha | sontek: ssh -v to get some debugging output.... | 06:26 |
| pipboy | Geistanon, i only see that as application /x shockwave-flash | 06:27 |
| brianherman | anybody here try chrome os? | 06:28 |
| Geistanon | pipboy~ on http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/ , does the flash player check animate? | 06:28 |
| Hilikus | if i chmod i file, while rsync copy it next time or not? | 06:28 |
| Geistanon | brianherman~ it is not out yet | 06:28 |
| brianherman | geistanon: im building it right now http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2009/07/introducing-google-chrome-os.html | 06:28 |
| Jordan_U | Geistanon: The source is | 06:28 |
| pipboy | Geistanon, it offered for me to install missing plugins, but i do see the check animation yes... | 06:28 |
| Billiard | noir: you could try one of the cd ripping tools you said you have used before using your file as the cd device | 06:29 |
| brianherman | i wish they had a live cd for chrome os | 06:29 |
| Jordan_U | noir: Desparate enough to try my crazy idea yet? :) | 06:29 |
| noir | Billiard: I can try that I suppose... | 06:29 |
| noir | Jordan_U: I definitely am. Hit me | 06:29 |
| Geistanon | brianherman, Jordan_U~ well gosh darn that was quick | 06:30 |
| Geistanon | pipboy~ then flash is actually operable. you said youtube fails? | 06:30 |
| Jordan_U | noir: sudo losetup -r /dev/loop0 /path/to/file.bin | 06:31 |
| losha | Hilikus: it depends on the rsync flags you use, and I can't recall if chmod changes the modified time of the file. You can always try rsync with the --dry-run flag to see it *would* do without it actually doing anything... | 06:31 |
| pipboy | Geistanon, like when i try to click buttons and what not, youtube, stickam, sometimes myspace music player, and sometimes lastfm. (mostly everything flash related methinks) | 06:31 |
| Jordan_U | noir: Then tell a cd ripping app that your cdrom drive is /dev/loop0 | 06:31 |
| vin- | question | 06:31 |
| Geistanon | pipboy~ how exactly does it fail? | 06:32 |
| noir | Jordan_U: oooh I like it | 06:32 |
| sontek | losha: its hanging at debug1: Unspecified GSS failure. Minor code may provide more information | 06:32 |
| Billiard | Jordan_U: thats what i told him to try also, might work | 06:32 |
| ajay | hi | 06:32 |
| sontek | losha: once it does: debug1: Next authentication method: publickey its quick. | 06:32 |
| vin- | i installed ubuntu through wubi dual booting it with vista, i am about to update my vista to win7, since wubi installed linux though vista will updating to win7 harm anything? my dual boot option when i boot mainly? | 06:33 |
| losha | sontek: check out http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=794765 | 06:33 |
| noir | Jordan_U: alright the loop is set up. Rubyrip doesn't let me do anything if I choose /dev/loop0 as the drive. I shall try a different app | 06:33 |

| losha | vin-: here, have your money back... | 06:35 |
| pipboy | Geistanon, it loads, but i when i try to click play it does nothing | 06:35 |

| Geistanon | pipboy~ Well that's odd indeed. | 06:36 |
| Geistanon | pipboy~ I actually have no idea how to help you at this point. | 06:36 |
| pipboy | Geistanon, yeah... its okay, im thinking maybe if i can uninstall the flash plugin i currently have and install the open source ones maybe that would have a different outcome? | 06:37 |
| Geistanon | pipboy~ I suggest trying alternative flash plugins such as gnash, and make sure to disable ones which you arent testing currently via tools -> addons -> plugins | 06:37 |
| noir | Jordan_U: Tried abcde (nice CLI tool). It says "CD could not be read. Perhaps there's no CD in the drive?" | 06:37 |
| Geistanon | actually pipboy | 06:38 |
| Geistanon | A simple google search brought up this page ( http://helpforlinux.blogspot.com/2009/11/i-cannot-click-on-flash-in-ubuntu.html ) | 06:38 |
| Geistanon | pipboy~ it would appear to be your exact problem | 06:38 |
| brianherman | pipboy: do u play fallout3 | 06:39 |
| pipboy | brianherman, how'd you know?! | 06:39 |
| pipboy | :) | 06:39 |
| brianherman | ur name | 06:39 |
| brianherman | ever play 1 or 2 | 06:39 |
| brianherman | ? | 06:39 |
| Geistanon | pipboy~ although you may need to substitute the correct directory as you mentioned you're on x64, although the plugin itself may not be | 06:40 |
| pipboy | brianherman, yeah, those are the only ones i like, Fallout oblivion with guns edition wasnt any good imo | 06:40 |
| brianherman | i should get 1 and 2 | 06:40 |
| brianherman | maybe after xmas i get money | 06:40 |
| pipboy | geistanon, thanks a bunch, what is a good way to go about installing these again? | 06:40 |
| pipboy | Brianherman, or you could just torrent them? need a link? ill gladly give it to you | 06:41 |
| Geistanon | pipboy~ given the page's contents i dont think you need to try alternate plugins yet | 06:41 |
| noir | Jordan_U, Billiard, Geistanon: Thanks for all your help guys, but I think I'll delete these useless images and wait till next week to rip these CDs proper. It's a shame, and I came close with the bin2iso/bchunk wav output combo (you can hear the music faintly under lots of static), so I'd call that a partial victory :) Cheers | 06:41 |
| pipboy | Geistanon, so what should i do then? | 06:41 |
| Geistanon | pipboy~ read the page i sent you | 06:41 |
| Jordan_U | noir: Try audacity as a last ditch effort before you give up | 06:42 |
| Geistanon | pipboy~ a comment someways down will help | 06:42 |
| Geistanon | noir~ audacity is quite brutal | 06:42 |
| losha | noir: cdparanoia has always worked well for me ripping audio cds | 06:42 |
| noir | Jordan_U: use audacity how? | 06:42 |
| noir | losha: that's why I use rubyrip. It's a great frontend to cdparanoia | 06:42 |
| pipboy | Geistanon, substituting the directory? i have no idea how to do that, as i've said i don't comprehend how installing works, i'm unfortunately a windows guy but im trying to learn | 06:42 |
| jayjay__ | pipboy, in terminal "sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer"->restart ff | 06:43 |
| Jordan_U | noir: File > Input > audio | 06:43 |
| JuicyJ | Wat up ppl | 06:43 |
| noir | Jordan_U: yeah lol but I mean on what file...the WAVs I got? | 06:43 |
| pipboy | jayjay_, so these are just deb files? | 06:43 |
| Geistanon | pipboy~ hit alt+f2 | 06:43 |
| jayjay__ | yep | 06:43 |
| Geistanon | pipboy~ paste in sudo gedit /usr/lib64/nspluginwrapper/i386/linux/npviewer | 06:43 |
| Geistanon | does it bring up a file? | 06:44 |
| Jordan_U | noir: On the .bin, it probably won't work, and even then it might be one long audio file but it's worth a try | 06:44 |
| Geistanon | pipboy~ and hit enter obviously | 06:44 |
| noir | Jordan_U: ok | 06:44 |
| pipboy | Geistanon, enter whats that? Just kidding :P | 06:44 |

| Geistanon | pipboy~ :P did it give you an empty file error? | 06:45 |
| pipboy | Geistanon, nothing... | 06:45 |
| Geistanon | pipboy~ try sudo gedit /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/i386/linux/npviewer instead | 06:45 |
| noir | Jordan_U: if I import it using Import > Raw Data and the default options, I get the same result as the WAV files: very loud digital-sounding static with the music faint in the background | 06:46 |
| noir | Jordan_U: so something along the way here must be close but not quite right | 06:46 |
| pipboy | Geistanon, nothing | 06:46 |
| Jordan_U | noir: Did you try importing as audio rather than "raw data"? | 06:47 |
| noir | Jordan_U: yes, nothing happens if I do that. Says "Audacity did not recognize the type of the file. If it is uncompressed, try importing it using 'Import Raw.'" | 06:47 |

| Geistanon | pipboy~ that thread is your best bet at this point | 06:48 |
| pipboy | jayjay_ lemme try those real quick | 06:49 |
| losha | noir: remind me, how was the original ripped? | 06:49 |
| pipboy | Geistanon, thanks ill give that a try! | 06:49 |
| noir | losha: using the "CD copy" option in Brasero. This results in an extensionless image file and a small accompanying .toc file | 06:49 |
| losha | noir: sigh. Brasero... | 06:50 |
| Geistanon | noir, losha, it was a bin | 06:50 |
| noir | losha: I know. If I had had net access at the time I'd have downloaded a real ripping tool, but I didn't. Now I wish I had booted into Windows and ripped them as Windows Media Lossless. At least then I could decompress the songs to WAV and then re-encode them with FLAC easily enough | 06:51 |

| noir | losha: I know right? It's weird. I'm apt-get purging brasero rignt now and installing k3b for burning needs. | 06:53 |
| jesuslololol | the only one i have is my big external drive and idk where the cord is | 06:54 |
| powertool08 | Geistanon: what do you mean? Lots of people use samba. | 06:54 |
| Myxb | during boot i get "can not read /etc/udev/rules.d/z80_user.rules" (a symlink to an empty /etc/udev/user.rules file). anybody know what it is? | 06:54 |
| worldhurts | hi | 06:54 |
| jesuslololol | okay its going | 06:54 |
| Geistanon | powertool08~ the samba package family yes, but samba itself is far more than what he needs | 06:54 |
| greezmunkey | jesuslololol, 4gig usb drive = $12.00 :/ | 06:55 |
| Geistanon | powertool08~ simply having smbfs and say pyNeighborhood is sufficient for the end-user | 06:55 |
| noir | losha: aw crap, I forgot...k3b needs kdelibs to run. Hate to install 303MB of packages for one app <_< | 06:55 |
| Geistanon | greezmunkey~ lolno | 06:55 |
| Geistanon | greezmunkey~ try newegg | 06:55 |
| jesuslololol | eh screw it ill just find the cord | 06:55 |
| losha | noir: not worth it, just use the cli... | 06:55 |
| greezmunkey | Geistanon, yeah, I know, but you get my point. | 06:55 |
| kostkon | noir, try nero, its demo, at least | 06:56 |
| Geistanon | greezmunkey~ ebay is a good choice as well | 06:56 |
| jesuslololol | dl is taking too long | 06:56 |
| noir | kostkon: nero has a linux version? | 06:57 |
| Concretesledge | Metallica - The Unforgiven | 06:57 |
| kostkon | noir, yeap, and a very good one | 06:57 |
| Geistanon | greezmunkey~ newegg has your 4g for 8 dollars, but i imagine you can do better than that even on ebay | 06:57 |
| noir | kostkon: also I hate demos | 06:57 |
| kostkon | noir, lol ok then | 06:57 |
| nvme | anyone know what this error means " Failure trying to run: chroot /home/USERNAME/Documents/chromiumos/chroot mount -t proc proc /proc" ? | 06:57 |
| noir | kostkon: lol thanks anyway though :D | 06:57 |
| kostkon | noir, :) | 06:57 |
| Geistanon | noir~ a majority of the work youre looking at can be done through the CLI, you know this yes? | 06:58 |

| `Immortal` | i need help with Upgrading my Dist from 9.04 to 9.10 | 07:00 |
| `Immortal` | from a CD | 07:00 |
| Sa[i]nT | I am lovin' this upgrade. | 07:00 |
| oddhyena | does anyone know of any program other than kino that will output video through the raw1394 camcorder? | 07:00 |
| noir | losha, Geistanon: I probably should. I'm a big believer in the commandline :) | 07:01 |
| greezmunkey | losha, -tao, is that related to disk at once? | 07:01 |
| oddhyena | track at once | 07:01 |
| oxeimon | does anyone here play civilization 4? | 07:01 |
| oxeimon | or know of a channel for it? | 07:01 |
| greezmunkey | okay, thanks | 07:01 |
| `Immortal` | shouldn't Ubuntu prompt me to upgrade when i insert the 9.10 disk? | 07:01 |
| Geistanon | noir~ it makes life so nice | 07:01 |
| greezmunkey | jesuslololol, create a shared folder on the winbox, then use your file system tools to attach to it, much easier! | 07:02 |
| noir | sudo umount /dev/loop0 | 07:02 |
| kostkon | `Immortal`, you can only upgrade using the alternate cd. which one do you have? | 07:02 |
| `Immortal` | Hmm | 07:02 |
| `Immortal` | not sure kostkon | 07:02 |
| kostkon | `Immortal`, the live or the alternate one? | 07:02 |
| kostkon | `Immortal`, ok | 07:03 |
| `Immortal` | how would i know the diff. ? | 07:03 |
| Flannel | `Immortal`: What do you see when you view the disc contents? | 07:03 |
| kostkon | `Immortal`, eh, check the cd's label | 07:03 |
| Jordan_U | `Immortal`: You can only upgrade via the dvd or the alternet CD | 07:03 |
| smok | hello | 07:03 |
| Flannel | `Immortal`: Do you see wubi.exe on there? | 07:04 |
| `Immortal` | kostkon: it says Ubuntu 9.10 i386 | 07:04 |
| `Immortal` | yeah wubi is there... | 07:04 |
| Flannel | `Immortal`: that's the desktop CD | 07:04 |
| `Immortal` | ahh | 07:04 |
| kostkon | `Immortal`, then it seems you have the live cd. you can't upgrade with that | 07:04 |
| `Immortal` | :/ | 07:04 |
| `Immortal` | bummer | 07:04 |
| `Immortal` | I'm on a limited b/w plan | 07:04 |
| jesuslololol | sigh | 07:04 |
| jesuslololol | i wish programs | 07:05 |
| `Immortal` | and clean install would be painful | 07:05 |
| `Immortal` | as i have lot of apps installed | 07:05 |
| huston | can someone tell me how to go about changing the appearance of the login screen? | 07:05 |
| Flannel | `Immortal`: ping your LoCo, see if they can get you an alternate CD | 07:05 |
| jesuslololol | i wish programs would just naturally work for linux :( | 07:05 |
| Jordan_U | `Immortal`: Many ISP's have their own servers you can download ubuntu from ( and mirror repositories sometimes also ) without it "counting" | 07:06 |
| greezmunkey | is it possible to run the cd integrity checker on a burned .iso without booting it? | 07:06 |
| oddhyena | jesuslololol, they do | 07:06 |
| jesuslololol | none of that wine crap -.- | 07:06 |
| `Immortal` | any idea how many MB an upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10 takes? | 07:06 |
| Jordan_U | !hd5 | greezmunkey | 07:06 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about hd5 | 07:06 |
| Jordan_U | !md5 | greezmunkey | 07:06 |
| ubottu | greezmunkey: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 07:06 |
| oddhyena | jesuslololol, oh, windows, sorry | 07:06 |
| jesuslololol | what? | 07:06 |
| oddhyena | I thought you meant linux applications | 07:06 |
| powertool08 | lol | 07:06 |
| jesuslololol | oh no | 07:06 |
| `Immortal` | If i Upgrade via web well i get an estimate size? | 07:07 |
| jesuslololol | those work perfectly | 07:07 |
| `Immortal` | and can i cancel mid-way? | 07:07 |
| powertool08 | Man, I just wish all my favorite linux programs would just work in windows :P | 07:07 |
| greezmunkey | Jordan_U, been all the way down that road last night. I checked the md5sum of a burned cd, consistantly got errors, so I finally decided to boot it. I ran the "checker" and it came back clean??? | 07:07 |
| jesuslololol | i must say though | 07:07 |
| Flannel | `Immortal`: I haven't done it in a while, but I believe so, yes. | 07:07 |
| oddhyena | i wonder if it would be a legal issue to implement directX into linux rather than converting it to opengl | 07:07 |
| kostkon | `Immortal`, you can a estimated size yes. you can pause the download and continue it some other time. | 07:07 |
| jesuslololol | it is faster to transfer files | 07:07 |
| jesuslololol | on windows | 07:07 |
| kostkon | you can get* | 07:08 |
| jesuslololol | though | 07:08 |
| `Immortal` | ok i guess thats my best bet | 07:08 |
| Flannel | `Immortal`: But /join #ubuntu-in and see if there's someone in your area who might be able to give you an alternate CD | 07:08 |
| Jordan_U | greezmunkey: Are you sure checked it against the right md5? | 07:08 |
| `Immortal` | ok , thanks for all the help guys | 07:08 |
| `Immortal` | Flannel: & kostkon really appreciate it | 07:08 |
| huston | immortal it doesn't take much. just update from an alternate install cd/dvd | 07:08 |
| Jordan_U | `Immortal`: DVD if possible since all of the other apps you have installed will need to be upgraded too ( the DVD includes main ) | 07:09 |
| greezmunkey | Jordan_U, like I said, I want all the way down that road. I understand how it works, let's say. I think the issue is that dd is a bit finniky when reading the data into md5sum. | 07:09 |
| smok | this is the end | 07:10 |
| Jordan_U | greezmunkey: You don't need dd, just run md5sum on the device directly | 07:10 |
| greezmunkey | Jordan_U, I am on a laptop, and was bouncing all over compiz at the time. Direct to md5sum, like md5sum /edv/cdrom, been there... | 07:10 |
| losha | greezmunkey: I've never found it so. I think you may have hardware issues (flaky reader/disk). On a properly burned disk, I expect to be able to get the correct md5sum no matter how many times I check it.. | 07:11 |
| huston | so any1 know how to change appearance of login screen? | 07:11 |
| jesuslololol | rawr | 07:11 |
| Jordan_U | `Immortal`: And you should really check to see if you can get it from your ISP for free ( their biggest cost is often paying other ISPs they route traffic to / from so they really want things to stay within their network ) | 07:11 |
| jesuslololol | huston, system > administration > login window | 07:12 |
| oddhyena | ummm, there's no appearance options there | 07:12 |
| `Immortal` | will try that too | 07:12 |
| `Immortal` | thanks | 07:12 |

| jesuslololol | i think im still 9.04 | 07:13 |

| Jordan_U | Dallas: You can probably use ctrl+alt+F1 to get to a terminal, and if nothing else works use sysrq ( do NOT just pull the plug ) | 07:24 |
| powertool08 | Dallas: can you open a terminal vi alt+f2 or through the menus? | 07:24 |
| Jordan_U | !sysrq | Dallas | 07:24 |

| strongsoul | alabd, nope error | 07:46 |
| Dallas | strongsoul: I really don't know alot about linux. I just know that some laptops have power saving function menu's in the bios. and if you've already changed the settings in OS that would be the next place I'd check. | 07:46 |
| Madpilot | strongsoul, have you tried #xubuntu for xfce issues? | 07:46 |
| corey_ | no one knows? | 07:46 |
| drink_sti | infidel2: it says enable PEA/nx. is that what i want? | 07:46 |
| ActionParsnip | corey_: sup? | 07:47 |
| Madpilot | corey, isn't beryl now merged back into compiz? | 07:47 |
| alabd | strongsoul: thanks so you have problem also with pidgin would you tell have you set useranem with @hotmail.com or not ? | 07:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Madpilot: it is | 07:47 |
| corey_ | sorry im newish to linux lol, i have no idea.. whats compiz? | 07:48 |
| oddhyena | deliciously malicious | 07:48 |
| ActionParsnip | corey_: compiz gives yuo the cube desktop and wobbly windows that everyonegets excited about the first time they see it | 07:48 |
| corey_ | lol | 07:48 |
| corey_ | yeah I just thought it looked cool, id imagine it wouldnt be as cool after the first few times lol | 07:49 |
| ActionParsnip | alabd: my username for msn in carrier (a fork of pidgin) doesnt have the domain of my email address on (doesn't have @googlemail.com) only my username | 07:49 |
| ActionParsnip | corey_: some people find functionality, personally I got real sick of it real quick and went back to LXDE | 07:49 |
| Madpilot | corey_, if you're already running Ubuntu, all the recent releases are using compiz by default, but have the burning windows and other really shiny stuff disabled (thankfully...) | 07:50 |
| alabd | ActionParsnip: MSN and @googlemail.com | 07:50 |
| corey_ | hmm, so if I just installed ubuntu 9.10 then i already have compiz? | 07:50 |
| ActionParsnip | alabd: yeah, i enabled my account as an msn passport | 07:50 |
| brianherman | how do i get my window menu back on ubuntu | 07:51 |
| brianherman | i cant close windows | 07:51 |
| Madpilot | corey_, you do. Right-click on the desktop, choose "Change Background" then look at the Visual Effects tab | 07:51 |
| grendal-prime | grrrr this is making me crazy. I want glest on my dell mini. The glest-data package is availale but no glest package? | 07:51 |
| alabd | ActionParsnip: my humble email is USER@live.com strongsoul | 07:51 |
| ActionParsnip | alabd: tbh, it takes seconds to try one way, then the other | 07:51 |
| corey_ | okay thanks. i appreacite it | 07:51 |
| corey_ | appreciate* | 07:51 |
| Madpilot | ubottu, compiz | corey_ | 07:52 |
| ActionParsnip | brianherman: you mean the list of windows running and minimised? | 07:52 |
| ubottu | corey_: Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz | 07:52 |
| wingzero | hi all | 07:52 |
| brianherman | ActionParsnip: no the window decorations | 07:52 |
| ActionParsnip | corey_: you must have 3d accelleration to get it running too | 07:52 |
| brianherman | actionparsnip: like the close button on every window | 07:52 |
| ActionParsnip | brianherman: you lost them when you started compiz right | 07:52 |
| corey_ | yeah, it works | 07:53 |
| DrIshaiMD | ok so if the radeon driver WORKS for my system, will I get better performance if I try out the proprietary ATI driver? | 07:53 |
| brianherman | ActionParsnip: well i wanted to see what the ubuntu netbook remix xwas like | 07:53 |
| wingzero | question, i just installed ubuntu on my new computer but i mounted my 2nd hd to a wron location, how do i change the location? i mounted it to /home/video, while it sould have been /home/username/video | 07:53 |
| brianherman | actionparsnip: and i apt-get the package | 07:53 |
| DrIshaiMD | does ATI even MAKE a proprietary linux driver anymore? | 07:53 |
| dayo | how do i lock the account of a user on an nfs server? i'm using openldap to authenticate them. | 07:53 |
| drink_sti | i cant get ubuntu to run in a vm. | 07:53 |
| ActionParsnip | brianherman: run ccsm theres a setting in there for windows decorators, or you can run emerald if you want to gloss them up | 07:53 |
| alabd | strongsoul: is your email this kind USER@live.com ? | 07:53 |
| strongsoul | alabd, hotmail.com | 07:54 |
| ActionParsnip | brianherman: i installed that the other day and emerald was installed (weird), try pressing alt+f2 and running emerald --replace | 07:54 |
| drink_sti | it now tells me fatal error no mounted device... what the heck am i doing wrong? | 07:54 |
| brianherman | actionparsnip: i ddint install emerald | 07:54 |
| ActionParsnip | brianherman: i believe its part of UNR | 07:54 |
| brianherman | ohok | 07:55 |
| wingzero | question, i just installed ubuntu on my new computer but i mounted my 2nd hd to a wron location, how do i change the location? i mounted it to /home/video, while it sould have been /home/username/video | 07:55 |
| suigeneris | I just realized that videos on facebook don't play to their full length when on ubuntu. anyone can tell me how I can fix that? | 07:55 |
| ActionParsnip | brianherman: you should also check in ccsm as there is a setting there for windows decorators too | 07:55 |
| Dallas | Is there a way to turn increase volume besides the obvious? | 07:55 |
| alabd | ActionParsnip: what is your msn server address ? | 07:56 |
| powertool08 | Dallas: What's the obvious? alsamixer? | 07:56 |
| Dallas | the volume slider | 07:57 |
| manitu | hi, got a laptop with ubuntu, if i start there is the normal loading screen and then i come to textmode and there is written ata1.00: status: { DRDY } with some other messages of ata1.00 over and over again | 07:57 |
| Dallas | does alsamixer adjust the system volume? | 07:57 |
| powertool08 | Dallas: try alsamixer in a terminal | 07:57 |
| manitu | what could it be? read that it can be the harddisk, but how it boots that far then? | 07:57 |
| Madpilot | Dallas, right-click on the volume applet, choose Sound Prefs, and have a look thru the tabs there | 07:57 |
| powertool08 | Dallas: It adjust lots of aspects, main and pcm are the typical ones, but you can adjust bass/treble, fade/balance | 07:58 |
| ActionParsnip | alabd: messenger.hotmail.com | 07:58 |

| drink_sti | can i install this on a virtual machine? or do i just run option 1? | 07:59 |
| switchgirl | ActionParsnip, you ok? floods are REALLY bad in the lake district | 07:59 |
| ActionParsnip | switchgirl: yeah its een crazy, but a little offtopic for here | 07:59 |
| alabd | anyone can login with hotmail/live account as messenger ? | 07:59 |
| Dallas | k. So it's all the way up in alsamixer | 08:00 |
| drink_sti | can i install this on a virtual machine? or do i just run option 1? | 08:00 |
| Dallas | and in prefs it just shows what menus you can enable if you click on the icon | 08:00 |
| quentusrex | How do I test a cron script? | 08:00 |
| quentusrex | it doesn't seem to be running | 08:00 |
| gheddy_zarc | when trying to enable sharing of folders by installing the "sharing" software packages to share I get the error "unable to install due to broken packages" ? using 9.04 any ideas to try ? do I neeed to go 9.10 ? | 08:00 |
| quentusrex | it script runs as roon just fine, but it doesn't seem to work from cron | 08:00 |
| brianherman | actionparsnip: that didnt work | 08:01 |
| brianherman | actionparsnip: ill just use kde | 08:01 |
| ActionParsnip | brianherman: i'd ask in #compiz if folks are awake, its a compiz problem (no suprises there) | 08:01 |
| manitu | could someone please help me? my ubuntu laptop does not start, because of ata1.00: status: { DRDY } | 08:02 |
| powertool08 | manitu: Maybe a fsck would fix it (I don't know for sure) | 08:04 |
| nikre | i want to reach the X interface of a remote server, when I do startx, I get the following error http://paste.ubuntu.com/323115/ | 08:05 |
| nikre | anything I can do_ | 08:05 |
| nikre | ? | 08:05 |
| ActionParsnip | manitu: make sure the HDD connectors are in good and solid, you could boot with some boot options to maybe get around it. I'd download the drive manufacturers tool to test the disk. Did you MD5 test the ISO you burned to make the CD? | 08:05 |
| powertool08 | nikre: Follow the directions you're given. Run ps aux | grep xorg (tells you if X is running) and paste the output. | 08:07 |
| ActionParsnip | nikre: your system already has an X server running, you will need to make a virtual X server to run off of somehow (ive heard of it done buy i've not done it) | 08:07 |
| === Anonymous6 is now known as TeamColtra | ||
| nikre | powertool08 there's nothing returned from ps command | 08:08 |
| nikre | (only itself) | 08:08 |
| powertool08 | nikre: Also, it might be easier to vnc or something unless you absolutely need the X server to be remote. | 08:08 |
| gheddy_zarc | anyone know the server for !mint irc ? | 08:08 |
| manitu | ActionParsnip, ubuntu is installed and boots from the hdd by grub.. and after a time it stopped working and i geht the DRDY ERR and a ata1.00 error: { UNC } | 08:08 |

| haddock | Hey, Im wondering is there any package for SLiM (simple login manager) in Ubuntu? | 08:08 |
| greezmunkey | when I'm running md5sum /dev/cdrom , should I see output as it goes through the disk? | 08:08 |
| TeamColtra | Okay I have been googling and racking my brain on this all day... It is finally time to ask for assistance. My machine fails to boot (kernal panic) and I am trying to fix it... I have put the alt install disk in to do the fix mode... but once I drop into shell... I am lost at what I should do | 08:09 |
| ActionParsnip | manitu: i see, try some boot options and definately check the drive. It doesnt sound healthy. Also check the data/power connectors to the drive are in good | 08:09 |
| === haddock is now known as fredrik | ||
| TeamColtra | I tried the FSCK but there seems to be no /dev/discs option | 08:09 |
| greezmunkey | All I get back is: md5sum: /dev/cdrom: Input/output error | 08:09 |
| ActionParsnip | greezmunkey: no, it only outputs when done | 08:09 |
| SzArAk | hi | 08:09 |
| ActionParsnip | greezmunkey: you dont really md5 a cd like that, are you checking a burned ubuntu disk? | 08:09 |
| powertool08 | nikre: check to see if the /tmp/.X0-lock is there, if so, rm /temp/.X0-lock, try again. | 08:09 |
| greezmunkey | ActionParsnip, yes, please advise! | 08:10 |
| manitu | ActionParsnip, problem is, that it is a notebook.. does i need to start from a live cd or what i should do? | 08:10 |
| ActionParsnip | greezmunkey: boot to the CD, select language then read the screen, there is an option to verify the CD there | 08:10 |
| SzArAk | how can i verify the amount of ram on my graphics card? lspci shows 64MB wich seems way to much. i expected to have 2, or 8MB. here is the output of lspci -vv http://wklej.org/id/210748/ | 08:10 |

| poyntz | How do you install "transkode" on Ubuntu Karmic Koala. I'm getting this error when I try to install it from source: "in the prefix, you've chosen, are no KDE headers installed" | 08:10 |
| ActionParsnip | manitu: connectors should be ok then, try bootoptions and manufacturers test | 08:11 |
| greezmunkey | ActionParsnip, I gotcha on that...Is there any way to run that w/o booting the CD rom? | 08:11 |
| drink_sti | i get this "FATAL: no bootable medium found. system halted" any body have anything on this problem? | 08:11 |
| poyntz | is there are prefix you could give me that would do the trick? can I disable headers? what should I do? | 08:11 |
| nikre | powertool08 I get this error when trying to run vnc, http://paste.ubuntu.com/323118/ | 08:11 |
| nikre | any idea? | 08:11 |
| powertool08 | poyntz: You are probably missing a ton of KDE libraries/dependencies since you are running Ubuntu, not Kubuntu. | 08:12 |
| poyntz | powertool08: I figured that because it's a script for Amarok, which works fine on Ubuntu, that it would work as well :/ | 08:13 |
| ActionParsnip | greezmunkey: the bootoptions can e added to grub using the e button to edit the entry for this boot only | 08:13 |
| ActionParsnip | greezmunkey: sorry, crossed wires | 08:13 |
| powertool08 | nikre: Did you remove the lock file and successfully start X? | 08:13 |
| poyntz | powertool08: also, my comp is 4 years old. Not sure if it's tailored to the KDE environment | 08:13 |
| ActionParsnip | greezmunkey: no, you need to boot to the CD to run the tool | 08:13 |
| DrIshaiMD | where is xorg.conf ?!??! | 08:13 |
| userfriendly | g'day | 08:13 |
| DrIshaiMD | or at least it's equivalent in 9.10 | 08:13 |
| powertool08 | poyntz: KDE is much older than your computer :) | 08:13 |
| userfriendly | /etc/X11 | 08:13 |
| ActionParsnip | DrIshaiMD: karmic doesnt have one by default, if you add one it will be used | 08:13 |
| aperson | DrIshaiMD, /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 08:14 |
| nikre | powertool08, sudo ls /tmp/*lock > ls: cannot access /tmp/*lock: No such file or directory | 08:14 |
| poyntz | powertool08: I don't doubt that. but the latest versions would run slow, no? | 08:14 |
| drink_sti | i get this "FATAL: no bootable medium found. system halted" any body have anything on this problem? | 08:14 |
| poyntz | powertool08: or at least, slower than gnome | 08:14 |
| DrIshaiMD | how does it get its settings by default? | 08:14 |
| ActionParsnip | drink_sti: did you md5 test the image? | 08:14 |
| userfriendly | speaking of xorg.conf, why does the desktop on my third monitor extend to 1680x1680 when it's supposed to be 1680x1050...? | 08:14 |
| drink_sti | i got it right from the ubuntu dite | 08:15 |
| drink_sti | *site | 08:15 |
| ActionParsnip | DrIshaiMD: it uses HAL and other autodetect things to detect whats going on, if it gets it wrong you will need an xorg.conf file to tell it | 08:15 |
| timewriter | hi | 08:15 |
| greezmunkey | ActionParsnip, that's cool. I spent way too much time on that md5sum stuff last night getting errors, only to boot the CD, which verified fine! | 08:15 |
| powertool08 | poyntz: KDE4, maybe, I thought KDE 3.5 was pretty good and I'm on a single core Athlon XP 2800+. I use XFCE and its good enough. | 08:15 |
| greezmunkey | ActionParsnip, I apprieciate you jumping in! | 08:15 |
| greezmunkey | s/ni/in | 08:15 |
| ActionParsnip | drink_sti: means nothing, the data can be garbaged in transit from server to your PC, doesnt matter where its from, so long as the MD5 matches | 08:15 |
| SzArAk | how can i verify the amount of ram on my graphics card? lspci shows 64MB wich seems way to much. i expected to have 2, or 8MB. here is the output of lspci -vv http://wklej.org/id/210748/ | 08:15 |
| DrIshaiMD | how would i go about changing which module to use without an xorg.conf? I want to try out fglrx | 08:15 |
| ActionParsnip | greezmunkey: cool, thats what counts | 08:15 |
| ActionParsnip | DrIshaiMD: if you install it, it will be used | 08:16 |
| poyntz | powertool08: I'm dual-booting xfce/gnome. never really had the guts to use kde :P. but the thing is, half these scripts demand it | 08:16 |
| greezmunkey | ActionParsnip, exactly...now I have 5 or 6 good install disks too! | 08:16 |
| powertool08 | nikre: try without the *, use the file given in the previous error statement. | 08:16 |
| drink_sti | actionparsnip: it loaded fine then told me something about my processor not being amd64 then i reload it and it tells me no bootable medium. | 08:16 |
| ActionParsnip | greezmunkey: groovy, sounds like your hardware needs extra kernel options or is failing | 08:16 |
| aperson | does anyone else experience this bug? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/483456 | 08:17 |
| ActionParsnip | drink_sti: you cant load a 64bit system on a 32bit cpu, if you are using vm ware and your system doesnt have the right functionality, you cannot run 64bit guets | 08:17 |
| DrIshaiMD | ok, is there a new key combination to kill X11? Ctrl-alt-backspace doesn't seem to work anymore | 08:17 |
| ActionParsnip | *guests | 08:17 |
| poyntz | powertool08: my problem is more the fact that I can't transfer flac files to my iPod (through research I've learned that iPod's don't except flac files). If I want to transfer files over, I need some sort of transcoder :/ | 08:17 |
| ActionParsnip | DrIshaiMD: alt + k + printscreen | 08:17 |
| greezmunkey | ActionParsnip, could be. This desktop was installed onto a WinXP install, it's a wubi thing. | 08:17 |
| drink_sti | actionparsnip: it says something about the kernel not being correct. and my system is an amd 64 | 08:17 |
| powertool08 | poyntz: I'd look into mencoder | 08:17 |
| === sean is now known as Guest99905 | ||

| timewriter | anyone uses 9.10 ? | 08:18 |
| poyntz | powertool08: I wouldn't have a clue how to use that (it runs through bash, yeah?). also does it allow me to transcode multiple files at once? | 08:19 |
| aperson | timewriter, give this is the ubuntu support channel, it's safe to assume ues | 08:19 |
| DrIshaiMD | hmph im on a laptop, that doesn't appear to work | 08:19 |
| aperson | yes* | 08:19 |
| hassanakevazir | poyntz, take a look at rockbox, if your ipod is supported, it can playback anything, IIRC also flac | 08:19 |
| timewriter | aperson , thanks , should i upgrade from LTS ? | 08:19 |
| ActionParsnip | drink_sti: then I recommend you MD5 test the ISO, seems your CPU doesnt support virtualisation with 64bit guests so you will need to check that (you may have to enable an option in your BIOS) or you will have to run 32bit guests | 08:19 |
| poyntz | hassanakevazir: its an iPod shuffle, if that means anything | 08:19 |
| powertool08 | poyntz: Yes its command line, but may have a gui frontend available, and I'm sure its not too difficult if you find a good guide with examples on google. | 08:19 |

| aperson | timewriter, personally, I did a clean install and restored my backups | 08:19 |
| timewriter | i mean , install the new version | 08:20 |
| timewriter | clean install ofc | 08:20 |
| ActionParsnip | drink_sti: not all 64bit CPUs will allow 64bit guest virtualisation | 08:20 |
| CppIsWeird | i just plugged in an sata card and i dont see the drives connected to it at all, not even in dmesg. how do i see if the card is being picked up? | 08:20 |
| poyntz | powertool08: just it's going to take me a while to transcode individual files one at a time :P | 08:20 |
| greezmunkey | ActionParsnip, I see that you are getting slammed right now, but during the install does it scann hardware, and offer appropriate drivers, settings, etc. OR, should I plan to make menuconfig after I'm done? | 08:20 |
| drink_sti | i am using sun virtualbox. does that have anything to do with it? | 08:20 |
| powertool08 | poyntz: So start multiple instances? | 08:20 |
| poyntz | powertool08: especially say if there's about 4 GB of media | 08:20 |
| greezmunkey | s/scann/scan | 08:20 |
| ActionParsnip | greezmunkey: most is detected for you, you may need extra boot options, or to add modules in the LiveCD to get things rolling | 08:21 |
| hassanakevazir | poyntz, ah, no then, it won't be able to playback flac | 08:21 |
| aperson | timewriter, I like 9.10 if that counts for anything | 08:21 |
| timewriter | thanks | 08:21 |
| powertool08 | poyntz: GNU/screen would be nice for checking in on them without leaving a bunch of windows open. | 08:21 |
| timewriter | im gonna grab it then | 08:21 |
| poyntz | powertool08: then the cpu would unsafely be randomly allocating process time, no? what if the program isn't designed to handle these random shuffles. especially with so much processing power going toward transcoding such a high number of files? | 08:22 |
| ActionParsnip | greezmunkey: but you can use wubi if you like. It does run. I personally dislike the idea so avoid it | 08:22 |
| greezmunkey | ActionParsnip, I think it will be fine, I have another HDD to do a dry run on for this laptop, the worst that'll happen is I'll have to put this HDD back in! | 08:22 |
| TeamColtra | Let me ask this way... is there a way to just force a FSCK of the entire system? | 08:22 |
| DrIshaiMD | ActionParsnip, alt+k+printscrn doesnt work, just asks me to cave screenshot | 08:22 |
| powertool08 | poyntz: I dunno, I don't transcode files so I couldn't say for sure. | 08:22 |
| poyntz | powertool08: no worries. thanks anyhow. i'll keep it on my mind | 08:23 |
| === wonder_woman is now known as switchgirl | ||

| DrIshaiMD | thats a bummer | 08:26 |
| CppIsWeird | i just plugged in an sata card and i dont see the drives connected to it at all, not even in dmesg. how do i see if the card is being picked up? | 08:26 |
| poyntz | powertool08: so why are you using xfce and gnome then? :P | 08:26 |
| powertool08 | poyntz: I don't use gnome. I use xfce because I don't like KDE4 and 3.5 is outdated now. | 08:27 |
| ActionParsnip | CppIsWeird: sudo fdisk -l will show you the drives and partitions | 08:27 |

| CppIsWeird | poyntz, thats how i know i don't see the drives. ;) | 08:27 |
| DrIshaiMD | ok all thanks for your help | 08:28 |
| ActionParsnip | CppIsWeird: if you dont see any, run: dmesg | less to see whats detected at bootup, you may need to run: lspci to see what the card is, you may need extra packages or even compile a kernel module for the card to work | 08:28 |
| TeamColtra | Okay I tried rebooting it again... the first error is /bin/sh: error while loading shared libraries /lib/libc.so.6: invalid ELF header ten Failure: apArmor profiles filaed to load then /sbin/init: error while loading shared libraries: /lib/libpthread.so0: invalid ELF header then goes into Kernal Panic | 08:28 |
| poyntz | CppIsWeird: you'll have to explain that one to me | 08:28 |
| powertool08 | poyntz: Yes, although I may start to like gnome more since I don't like KDE4. I also have used LXDE and Enlightenment. XFCE is the best blend though. | 08:28 |
| powertool08 | poyntz: I don't like all the bloat that comes with KDE/gnome, yet I usually still end up with the libraries due to a few favorite programs which require them. | 08:29 |
| poyntz | powertool08: xubuntu I'm guessing? I've never tried xubuntu, but DreamLinux is nice. I've stopped using it temporarily because I have to issue the command startx every time I want to go from the console to the GUI :/ | 08:29 |
| poyntz | powertool08: Amarok seems like an awesome player. Couldn't go back to Mplayer now I'm enjoying it so much :P | 08:30 |
| powertool08 | poyntz: I'm actually on Sidux now, its based on Debian Sid. | 08:30 |
| ActionParsnip | poyntz: you can install xubuntu-desktop or xfce4 and you will get the equivelant of xubuntu | 08:30 |
| === guest1988 is now known as switchgirl | ||
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: same with KDE? | 08:30 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: I don't see the point tho, because I've already got once xfce OS | 08:31 |
| CppIsWeird | ActionParsnip: i don't even see the card in lspci, does this mean its dead or something? | 08:31 |
| powertool08 | poyntz: I use mpd as my music player, and ncmpc as the client front end. I think sonata is a gui front end for it. | 08:31 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: and I like gnome :P | 08:31 |
| ActionParsnip | poyntz: not sure on the base kde package but you can install kubuntu-desktop and it will be the same | 08:31 |
| dryg | huzzah for gnome | 08:31 |
| ActionParsnip | CppIsWeird: read dmesg | less through, see what it says | 08:31 |
| Trezker | the only thing I don't like about gnome is the memory leaking in gnome-panel | 08:31 |
| ActionParsnip | poyntz: i like LXDE | 08:31 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: I'm a little lost. If it's that easy, why is Kubuntu Karmic Koala not out yet? | 08:31 |
| ActionParsnip | poyntz: it is: http://www.kubuntu.org/news/9.10-release | 08:32 |
| poyntz | lol. whoops :P | 08:32 |
| powertool08 | poyntz: The internets are offended by its initials :P | 08:32 |
| ActionParsnip | poyntz: i use ulite, then throw lxde on it. Works great | 08:33 |
| powertool08 | ActionParsnip: What is ulite? | 08:33 |
| ActionParsnip | powertool08: installs a very minimal system, check it out | 08:33 |
| karbo | what the f is up with all these file transfers coming from the ubuntu channels lately? | 08:33 |
| manitu | SultansElephant, ?????? | 08:33 |
| Trezker | karbo, script kiddies | 08:33 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip powertool08 : I'm guessing these players have iPod support, allow playlists, have nice GUI front ends, do the prev/next track, pause, stop, etc. | 08:33 |
| powertool08 | ActionParsnip: Is it an Ubuntu specific thing? | 08:34 |
| ActionParsnip | poyntz: no idea, ipods are garbage | 08:34 |
| oddhyena | manitu, did you get something from SultansElephant too? | 08:34 |
| * powertool08 Doesn't have an ipod | 08:34 | |
| karbo | well can someone gimme their address so I can go and become their new daddy? | 08:34 |
| ActionParsnip | powertool08: its an ubuntu based thing | 08:34 |
| karbo | bloddy morons | 08:34 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: it's the only media player I have tho, and i cbfed buying another when it works fine :P | 08:34 |
| ActionParsnip | karbo: check the IP of the connection ;) | 08:34 |
| timewriter | i like gnomes too | 08:34 |
| timewriter | and dwarves | 08:34 |
| ubuntujenkins | oddhyena i go it to | 08:34 |
| oddhyena | ubuntujenkins, what? | 08:35 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: but yeh, I try to pass on Mac's and their proprietory lock-ins | 08:35 |
| ActionParsnip | poyntz: theres gtkpod, bansee and amarok which support ipod. I'm sure others will too. | 08:35 |
| ActionParsnip | !ipod | poyntz | 08:35 |
| ubottu | poyntz: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - For the iPhone and the iPod Touch, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod | 08:35 |
| powertool08 | ActionParsnip: I love archlinux's net install. It gives you a minimal install that is completely up to date because it grabs all the files from repo's instead of the cd. Is it similar to that? | 08:35 |
| nikre | powertool08, this is the error after I remove /tmp/X.. lock file. http://pastebin.com/m655be828 | 08:35 |
| manitu | oddhyena, dcc chat | 08:35 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: I'm using Amarok | 08:35 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: I didn't like gtkpod | 08:35 |
| ActionParsnip | poyntz: should do it for you | 08:35 |
| ubuntujenkins | the thing from sultanselephant didn't except it though | 08:35 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: the only annoying thing about it is that it doesn't transcode. actually there's more wrong with it than that, but that's a start | 08:36 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: and I have flac files which wont play on iPod | 08:36 |
| ActionParsnip | powertool08: pretty much, you install ulite from CD, then they have provided a script to set things up nice, you can then install whatever desktop you like, I use LXDE because its small | 08:36 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: what's kubuntu weight wise? | 08:37 |
| lightpriest | ActionParsnip: you should get extra "ubuntu stars", I always see you here - helping ppl ;) | 08:37 |
| powertool08 | ActionParsnip: Sounds great, I'll have to remember it next time I install Ubuntu. | 08:37 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: sorry, i mean kubuntu-desktop | 08:37 |
| agusj | how to configure joystick | 08:37 |
| ActionParsnip | poyntz: you have a device which is made to primarilty only talk to itunes which only runs on windows or mac so you are pretty screwed | 08:37 |
| ActionParsnip | poyntz: some people even run a virtualbox with windows because their ipods suck so bad | 08:37 |
| lightpriest | heh | 08:37 |
| ActionParsnip | lightpriest: thanks :) | 08:37 |
| lightpriest | a friend of mine had no choice (he has windows on a virtualbox for his iphone) | 08:38 |
| nmudgal | i use squid proxy server & has put proxy in the appropriate file but still error http://fpaste.org/w1S0/ | 08:38 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: yeh. i think it gets worse with the newer versions. i deliverately picked the shuffle to give the linux engineers time to work it out | 08:38 |
| kwork | ActionParsnip, you can change the software on ipod | 08:38 |
| SultansElephant | my bad | 08:38 |
| kwork | ActionParsnip, and by that get it linux compatible | 08:38 |
| ActionParsnip | !rockbox | kwork | 08:38 |
| ubottu | kwork: rockbox is an open source firmware replacement for audio players from Archos, iRiver, Apple (iPod), and iAudio. See http://www.rockbox.org/ to get started! | 08:38 |
| SultansElephant | it was my irc client | 08:38 |
| oddhyena | the iphone is it's own OS with it's own filesystem, it has a server that itunes talks to | 08:38 |
| fra | !list | 08:38 |
| ubottu | This is not a file sharing channel (or network). If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » | 08:38 |
| nmudgal | i use squid proxy server & has put proxy in the appropriate file but still error http://fpaste.org/w1S0/ | 08:38 |
| SultansElephant | !BitchX | 08:38 |
| ubottu | bitchx (also known as ircii-pana) was dropped from Debian and subsequently Ubuntu (see: http://dy.fi/afb). Consider using irssi or weechat instead. | 08:38 |
| Raz_ | whats up everyone | 08:38 |
| kwork | ActionParsnip, sadly my model doesnot support rockbox :( | 08:38 |
| poyntz | kwork: have you used it? what's it like? | 08:39 |
| lightpriest | poyntz: i bought a sansa clip instead of the shuffle, sandisk even has a linux support forum for that | 08:39 |
| powertool08 | nikre: Maybe this is a solution? http://www.mail-archive.com/vnc-list@realvnc.com/msg11989.html | 08:39 |
| nmudgal | Raz_: i use squid proxy server & has put proxy in the appropriate file but still error http://fpaste.org/w1S0/ | 08:39 |
| SultansElephant | iknonia: still? | 08:39 |
| ActionParsnip | kwork: thats all i know dude | 08:39 |
| kwork | poyntz, my friend has it, its working nothing else i know to say about it | 08:39 |
| lightpriest | nmudgal: you're trying to "install update" | 08:39 |
| nmudgal | lightpriest: yeah i am trying to do that | 08:39 |
| lightpriest | nmudgal: you're trying to "install update", and as apt-get says... there's no such package. you should "sudo apt-get update" | 08:40 |
| poyntz | kwork: see that could mean that it plays mp3... lol. i'll try to see what i can do with apple's crappy ipod firmware :P | 08:40 |
| kwork | poyntz, yeah it plays mp3, not sure about anything else :P | 08:40 |
| lightpriest | nmudgal: update and install are both actions, and the first parameter of apt-get is an action | 08:40 |
| handjob | I NEED SOME HELP. I've edited /etc/group and added another user to "admin" it didn't worked but the worst part is that the old user lost ther priviliges of sudo and as far as i remeber the rood is turned off by default. Am i fucked for good ? | 08:40 |
| ActionParsnip | poyntz: if you hit it with a hammer it makes it fatser, hit it really hard HAHAHAHAHA (DONT, joke) | 08:40 |
| userfriendly | waaaaah... 9.10 upgrade overwrote my hosts file >.< | 08:40 |
| ActionParsnip | userfriendly: restore from backup | 08:40 |
| nmudgal | lightpriest: ok man! thnxs | 08:40 |
| poyntz | just looking at the KDE desktop environment tho. it looks like a waste of space... and resources... | 08:40 |
| userfriendly | backup... what is this backup you speak of... | 08:41 |
| SultansElephant | what's so hard about doing a full reinstall | 08:41 |
| kwork | poyntz, go for flux of xfce if you want lightweight | 08:41 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: when it starts to screw up I might just do that ;) | 08:41 |
| kwork | flux or xfce | 08:41 |
| powertool08 | handjob: try 'sudo su -' it may give you a root shell. | 08:41 |
| ActionParsnip | userfriendly: the backup you made, if the file is important yuo will have made a backup | 08:41 |
| lightpriest | handjob: if you used gedit to edit the file, gedit keeps a "filename"~ backup file after you save | 08:41 |
| userfriendly | ;) | 08:41 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: of course, providing that I no longer have warranty | 08:41 |
| userfriendly | point taken | 08:41 |
| SultansElephant | Calling KDE or GNOME 'bloated' is just elitist nerdiness unless you're still clutching on to some ancient pc | 08:41 |
| lstarnes | handjob: sudo -i is preferred over sudo su - | 08:41 |
| ActionParsnip | kwork: flux has amazing hotkey configs | 08:41 |
| nmudgal | lightpriest: it's done such an idiocy !! | 08:41 |
| kwork | ActionParsnip, when i was gentoo freak, i always had flux :P | 08:41 |
| lightpriest | nmudgal: what? | 08:41 |
| SultansElephant | what about puppy | 08:42 |
| SultansElephant | that thing is amazing | 08:42 |
| handjob | "user is not in the sudoers..." | 08:42 |
| ActionParsnip | kwork: i used to run it, now i'm LXDE | 08:42 |
| poyntz | kwork: I already have DreamLinux xfce, which is very quick. the only reason I'm contemplating KDE is because many apps require it | 08:42 |
| SultansElephant | you mean the ones that start with k | 08:42 |
| ikonia | SultansElephant: do you have an ubuntu support discussion | 08:42 |
| CyberJack77 | I recently installed 9.10 and now 2 of my harddisks are giving "exception Emask frozen" and "hard resetting link" errors/warnings. Does anybody know how to solve this? I never got this messages under 8.10. dmesg output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/323125/ | 08:42 |
| nmudgal | lightpriest: done man i just forget that !! | 08:42 |
| lightpriest | handjob: if you didn't set a root password (and you are not in the sudoers file) you have to boot as single user (or use a liveCD) | 08:43 |
| * poyntz thinks that everyone should be aware that linux is never forward compatible LOL | 08:43 | |
| handjob | lightpriest, OF course! Thank You kind Sir! | 08:43 |
| blacksun7 | anyone very familiar with bash scripting here that could help me out with a renaming script? | 08:43 |
| powertool08 | poyntz: Sure it is, just only in the areas in which linux developers are interested. | 08:43 |
| poyntz | ...maybe partially forward compatible. and by that, I mean things will break | 08:43 |
| lightpriest | handjob: either the sudoers file, admin group, something in the middle got screwed. you won't be able to login as root from a normal user if you don't have a root password | 08:44 |
| ActionParsnip | blacksun7: i'd ask in #bash | 08:44 |
| cprakash | I am getting an 'Uncorrectable data error or media is right protected' for 6 blocks on the hard disk when running dell diagnostics | 08:44 |
| ActionParsnip | poyntz: depeds what you buy and config | 08:44 |
| blacksun7 | thanks ActionParsnip | 08:44 |
| cprakash | Does this mean I have to replace the hard disk as it is corrput ? | 08:44 |
| poyntz | powertool08: you're probably right. but I've lost the desktop a few times, due to code incompatibilities | 08:44 |
| handjob | lightpriest, Ah btw any idea why this occured when i added user to admin group using vim (firstuser:nextuser)? | 08:44 |
| cprakash | Is it possible to fix it with some cammand on ubuntu ? | 08:44 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: not much bought. Running pretty much all off open source software | 08:44 |
| cprakash | I ran fsck at boot time as well as chkdsk of windows at boot | 08:44 |
| ActionParsnip | cprakash: boot to live CD and fsck the disk | 08:44 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: that's aside from games. | 08:45 |
| ActionParsnip | poyntz: some games run amazingly | 08:45 |
| cprakash | ok | 08:45 |
| ActionParsnip | poyntz: some devs even make linux installers for their games | 08:45 |
| cprakash | thanks ActionParsnip | 08:45 |
| b0nn | hrm, I'm having wifi problems, anyone point me in the right direction for troubleshooting? | 08:46 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: now that is something I'd love to see. I'd also like to see more gnome apps and less wine ones | 08:46 |
| lightpriest | handjob: in /etc/group file, : is an option delimiter and "," is a list delimiter. i.e. you should have done admin:XX:XX:user1,user2 | 08:46 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: for instance, I have to use wine to highlight in PDF files | 08:46 |
| handjob | lightpriest, ah thank You again. | 08:46 |
| ActionParsnip | poyntz: as an example: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Doom3 | 08:46 |
| ActionParsnip | poyntz: you should research before ranting | 08:46 |
| lightpriest | handjob: usually in linux configuration files a comma is a list delimiter | 08:47 |
| powertool08 | poyntz: Sauerbraten is another fps linux game. | 08:47 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: I wasn't ranting about games :P. I was ranting about how things break in upgrades :P | 08:47 |
| ActionParsnip | poyntz: log bugs when they do, they will be attended | 08:47 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: all my games have continued to work through every dist upgrade | 08:47 |

| morticia_ | how do I close the firefox process? when it's closed but still running | 08:47 |

| b0nn | morticia_: killall firefox | 08:48 |
| ActionParsnip | poyntz: powertool08: penumbra is an awesome linux native game, its paid for but the demo is killer | 08:48 |
| ActionParsnip | poyntz: did you log a bug? | 08:48 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: thankfully I was dual booting with DreamLinux, so I could fix it from that OS | 08:48 |
| Tartaros | where can I set what's the title of an xterm window/tab ? | 08:48 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: I only generally log bugs if it does the log locating, etc for me. I have never any idea which package runs what and what outputs to attach to bug reports | 08:49 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: generally they close my bug reports due to a lack of information | 08:49 |
| morticia_ | b0nn: thanks | 08:49 |
| ActionParsnip | poyntz: it will be moved if its the wrong package, logging bugs makes things work better | 08:49 |

| ActionParsnip | jove: sudo apt-get install traceroute | 08:51 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: I meant for me to contribute. you'd have to know the linux OS like the back of your hand, no? | 08:51 |
| anarcap | HI all. Question about video playback on VLC, SMPlayer, etc. I have a DVD of the movie Cars and opened it up in a few movie players on Ubuntu 9.10 and they all start up in Full Screen (standard 4:3) and not widescreen. I know that the DVD is widescreen, and I can't figure out how to get it to play in widescreen | 08:52 |
| Hans_Henrik | first time this happens, i opened a shell on my server, and it spammed "bash: /dev/null: Permission denied" a few sec before i could write anything :s | 08:52 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: provided they can give contributors the info they need to fix it | 08:52 |
| powertool08 | poyntz: Not necessarily, file what you know, they ask for more info, then you give them what they ask for. | 08:52 |
| ActionParsnip | poyntz: no, just say when something is wrong and someone more knowledgable will ask you to generate info from your system to beef up the info | 08:52 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip powertool08 : provided they point me in the right direction. Often I find once a bug report gets marked as something different, people stop looking at it | 08:53 |
| ActionParsnip | poyntz: like on launchpad questions, some people log questions with so little information that its hard to know what they are asking, so you ask them to clarify | 08:53 |
| ardchoille | Perhaps the bugs convo can be moved to #ubuntu-bugs? | 08:53 |
| jove | actionparsip: it failed, do you have any idea ? wine-dev: Depends: wine (= 0.9.35~winehq0~ubuntu~7.04-1) but it is not going to be installed | 08:53 |
| ActionParsnip | jove: you can then run: traceroute destination and you will tracerote to whatever you need to test | 08:53 |
| poyntz | you'd be surprised. a lot of the time they just say "thread close due to insufficient information" | 08:53 |
| ActionParsnip | jove: you need to have wine 0.9.35 installed to install the dev package | 08:54 |
| poyntz | ey ActionParsnip, is kubuntu-desktop the full kubuntu package? | 08:54 |
| ActionParsnip | poyntz: then keep it alive asking "what information do you need of me" etc | 08:55 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: i'll do that next time | 08:55 |
| jove | actionparsnip: how to get wine 0.9.35 ? | 08:55 |
| ActionParsnip | poyntz: its kde plus all the apps which are installed in a standard kubuntu install | 08:55 |
| ActionParsnip | jove: sudo apt-get install wine | 08:55 |
| ibmx61 | hi | 08:55 |
| Hans_Henrik | whenever i open a shell, it spam "bash: /dev/null: Permission denied" a few seconds before i can write anything :s never happened before, any ideas what has happed? | 08:55 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: any way I could just get KDE, and run the gnome apps off it? | 08:55 |
| lengend | jove, what country are you from? | 08:55 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: that's probably a stupid question | 08:55 |
| ActionParsnip | poyntz: if you have gnome apps like gedit installed, you will also et kate and kwrite so expect duplicate apps, you can uninstall the apps you dont need | 08:56 |
| Tartaros | where can I set what's the title of an xterm window/tab ? - nvm I figured it out. If anyone happened to care, it's in ~/.bashrc script | 08:56 |
| poyntz | Hans_Henrik: I'm picking you don't have root access from the user account you've logged into | 08:56 |
| ardchoille | poyntz: kde apps run fine in gnome and vice versa | 08:56 |
| ricree | I've been having a problem with sound since I upgraded to 9.10. Certain programs (mostly mp3 players) have a bad echoing effect, although other programs (VLC, Flash player) work fine.

| poyntz | ardchoille: but the scripts may not. take transkode for example... | 08:56 |
| SultansElephant | ActionParsnip : you can run KDE apps in GNOME and vice-versa it'll automatically install the dependencies | 08:56 |
| ActionParsnip | SultansElephant: absolutely, some are weird but will run | 08:57 |
| poyntz | SultansElephant: not if you have to install from source, because the KDE app/script isn't in the repos | 08:57 |

| SultansElephant | jove : you can use bash's traceroute | 08:59 |
| suigeneris | I just realized that videos on facebook don't play to their full length when on ubuntu. anyone can tell me how I can fix that? | 08:59 |
| powertool08 | hassanakevazir: Google has many IP's, it picks the one closest to you, so depending on your location, it could be very different from the IP I have for google. | 08:59 |
| ActionParsnip | suigeneris: reinstall flash | 09:00 |
| SultansElephant | suigeneris : get more codecs | 09:00 |
| SultansElephant | !medibuntu | suigeneris | 09:00 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: odd that you can just chmod, change permissions for the directory :/ | 09:00 |
| ubottu | suigeneris: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 09:00 |
| ricree | I've been having a problem with sound since I upgraded to 9.10. Certain programs (mostly mp3 players) have a bad echoing effect, although other programs (VLC, Flash player) work fine. Most guides I found online only deal with issues that effect the entire system. Any suggestions on how to fix this? | 09:00 |
| jove | sultanselephant, it couldn't do it either | 09:00 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: *can't | 09:00 |
| ActionParsnip | poyntz: its not a directory | 09:01 |
| SultansElephant | jove : did you install traceroute (sudo apt-get install traceroute) or in synaptic | 09:01 |
| hassanakevazir | ActionParsnip, powertool08, basically all domain addresses are working but google. But thanks, that IP works fine here. and now if I only remember what I was searching for ... | 09:01 |
| ActionParsnip | poyntz: try: file /dev/null | 09:01 |
| jove | no, it failed because it did not have wine | 09:01 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: yeh, in shell it's yellow | 09:01 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: not sure what that means, but it can't be a directory | 09:01 |
| ActionParsnip | poyntz: run the command I gave, it will tell you | 09:02 |
| ActionParsnip | jove: try adding the wine repo, may help | 09:02 |
| SultansElephant | jove : all right, i will accept that you need wine for whatever reason. go to winehq.com | 09:02 |
| powertool08 | hassanakevazir: All of google's IP's would work for you, but the closer ones would work faster, though its probably a negligible difference. | 09:02 |
| SultansElephant | !jove | wine | 09:02 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about jove | 09:02 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: what's character special mean? | 09:02 |
| SultansElephant | !wine | jove | 09:02 |
| ubottu | jove: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu | 09:02 |
| suigeneris | ActionParsnip, do you remember anybody having this issue before? | 09:02 |
| ActionParsnip | poyntz: not sure, websearch to find out. I'm sure jeeves will know | 09:02 |
| TimeRider | wine is good for you | 09:02 |
| SultansElephant | i use crossover and playonlinux | 09:03 |
| ActionParsnip | suigeneris: not had it myself, you can try the 10.1 beta flash if your ubuntu is 32bit | 09:03 |
| anarcap | powertool08 - Yes, I know about the aspect ration option. However, that only the changes the output and will only force the 4:3 into 16:9 thus streching out the video. On most discs there are 2 versions of the movie, a 4:3 version and a 16:9 versions. For some reason my movie players are only playing the 4:3 version and I have no option to change it. | 09:03 |
| Tronic | How can I set my keyring master password? | 09:03 |
| SultansElephant | (yes i know it's based on wine) | 09:03 |
| suigeneris | ActionParsnip, how can I get that one by apt-get? | 09:03 |
| Tronic | Evolution keeps asking for that and it doesn't accept my login password. | 09:03 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: thanks for the command tho. i should've known it already | 09:03 |

| poyntz | ActionParsnip: acting almost like a loop of sorts? | 09:09 |
| whammo | does anybody know how to change which kernel will be first in grub2's boot list? | 09:10 |
| lstarnes | Bacta: april 2010 | 09:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Bacta: ubuntu uses calendar times for names | 09:10 |
| ardchoille | Bacta: April of 2010 hopefully | 09:10 |
| Bacta | ah so 9.10 is the new one? | 09:10 |
| wuffi600 | if i do an "apt-get update" i get an errormessage about not working signature verification. How can i solve this? please see here: http://pastebin.org/55475 Could you help me? | 09:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Bacta: its realesed 20 (10) in aprile (4)th month | 09:10 |

| Bacta | Never understood those version numbers until now | 09:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Bacta: intrepid is 8.10, it was released 200(8) in october (10)th month | 09:11 |

| ActionParsnip | poyntz: only here and launchpad, i'm part of the lubuntu team but i havent contributed much really | 09:13 |
| ardchoille | poyntz: simply by providing support for Ubuntu, he is supporting Ubuntu :) | 09:13 |
| ActionParsnip | poyntz: i'm 5th largest answerer on launchpad too :) | 09:13 |

| superpaco | ISO | 09:14 |
| poyntz | ActionParsnip: wow. same pseudo? | 09:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Tartaros: i think like a prtition image | 09:14 |

| superpaco | simple | 09:14 |
| lengend | does wine usually lag? LIke i click on my task bar to go to winamp, but it won't come on-top | 09:14 |
| ardchoille | lengend: you're running winamp in wine? | 09:15 |
| ActionParsnip | superpaco: you can use partimage to backup your partition, it will also compress it for you, you can then easily restore the partition using the same tool, you will not be able to boot from the image | 09:15 |
| powertool08 | lengend: Why are you using winamp in wine? Audacious is the same thing but newer | 09:15 |
| ActionParsnip | !winamp | 09:15 |
| ubottu | winamp is a windows music player. On Ubuntu you can use audacious as alternative. | 09:15 |
| ardchoille | lengend: Why not just run audacious? It doesn't need wine and it uses the same skins, it's almost a winamp clone | 09:15 |
| manitu | ActionParsnip, booted the notebook with knoppix now.. i can fully access the hdd :( | 09:16 |

| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about amarok | 09:16 |
| lengend | but i will give Audacious a try though | 09:16 |
| ActionParsnip | manitu: then check the dmesg output and loaded modules | 09:16 |
| Hans_Henrik | ActionParsnip: i guess its off-topic but what is lubuntu? | 09:16 |
| superpaco | no but I want to make an ISO so I can install it on other computers... is that possible on ubuntu??? is possible on BT that is ubuntu based | 09:16 |
| Rsb | hello... how can i deactivate the mouse pointer. I use a touchscreen? Can I add something in xorg.conf | 09:16 |

| poyntz | ok, thats about my level of service today. i'm out kids. ciao! | 09:17 |
| poyntz | thanks for the help | 09:17 |
| powertool08 | superpaco: Maybe its done in the same fashion as BT's method? | 09:17 |
| lengend | ok downloading now, thank you | 09:17 |
| ActionParsnip | manitu: lsmod will show the loaded modules (drivers), you can also run: dmesg | less and read the bootup to see whats different | 09:17 |
| lengend | ohh btw the command is "sudo apt-get install audacious" right? | 09:17 |
| Tartaros | n2diy: wanna secure it, or set it free? can't have both :P | 09:17 |
| superpaco | no | 09:17 |

| silv3r_m00n | how to run quanta plus on kde 4 ? | 09:18 |
| n2diy | Tartaros: I want to set it free, but remove my data first. | 09:18 |
| ActionParsnip | superpaco: you can make an identically sized partition to yours and then use partimage to spit the file onto the new system | 09:18 |

| n2diy | Tartaros: I have a test box, and a mission critical box. I now have a new test box, so the old one is redundant, and should be disposed of. I want to donate the test box, but don't want my data exposed to the new owner of the test box. | 09:22 |

| suigeneris | Package flashplayer-mozilla is not available, but is referred to by another package. <--- what does that mean? | 09:23 |
| hassanakevazir | ailleantsian, try sudo nvidia-xconfig , then restart | 09:23 |
| n2diy | powertool08: ok. | 09:23 |
| lainy | everytime i change my volume i have to fiddle between both master and pcm in alsamixer... is there an easier way, i.e., just one combined volume control? | 09:23 |
| Tartaros | n2diy: burn the disk then, that's the only secure way :P | 09:23 |
| ashiswin | umm | 09:23 |
| ashiswin | hello | 09:23 |
| powertool08 | n2diy: I've also heard if you use dd to overwrite the entire thing with all 0's or all 1's its pretty much unrecoverable. | 09:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Hans_Henrik: you'll need to make a group, add them (and root) to the group, then use chown :groupname_here folder | 09:23 |
| ashiswin | anyone who knows how to develop an operating system pleeeeeease pm me. very very urgent | 09:23 |
| ailleantsian | suigeneris , ihad that problem but in the software library in gnome in the other category there is a flash player there | 09:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Hans_Henrik: you can add -R to make it a recursive chown, and you'll need sudo if your user is not the owner | 09:24 |
| powertool08 | lainy: Turn one all the way up and use the other to change the volume, save the setting with 'sudo alsactl store 0' | 09:24 |
| ailleantsian | hasanakevazir: so if i install the nvida drivers again and when i reboot get to that or should i do that before trying to install them again | 09:24 |
| Tartaros | ashiswin: you're urgently developing an OS? that's kind of funny. But good luck with it, especially here :) | 09:24 |
| ActionParsnip | ashiswin: i suggest you look into gentoo for that | 09:25 |
| ashiswin | Tartaros: im looking for womeone with experience | 09:25 |
| ashiswin | ActionParsnip: why? | 09:25 |
| n2diy | Tartaros: , powertool08, ok, but, I want to preserve the system, just get my stuff off it. My thoughts are to reinstall, but only reformat the /home partition. | 09:25 |
| hassanakevazir | ailleantsian, if your drivers are no installed do that. by the way whats your nvidia card? | 09:25 |
| suigeneris | !find flashplayer-mozilla | 09:25 |
| ubottu | Package/file flashplayer-mozilla does not exist in karmic | 09:25 |
| ActionParsnip | ashiswin: its a good place to start developing your own OS from | 09:25 |
| hassanakevazir | ailleantsian, if your drivers are right now installed do that. by the way whats your nvidia card? | 09:26 |
| ikonia | suigeneris: check out flashplugin-nonfree | 09:26 |
| ActionParsnip | !flash | suigeneris | 09:26 |
| ubottu | suigeneris: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 09:26 |
| powertool08 | n2diy: Hmm, if you had put home on its own partition this would be easy... | 09:26 |
| ashiswin | ActionParsnip: Gentoo??? Cant i use ubuntu? | 09:26 |
| n2diy | powertool08: I did. | 09:26 |
| ActionParsnip | suigeneris: if you want the 10.1 flash and have 32bit ubuntu you can download the file to ~/.mozilla/plugins | 09:26 |
| ActionParsnip | ashiswin: sure, you'll be using apt-build though. Depends what your perception of "develop" is | 09:27 |
| Tartaros | ashiswin: of course you can use ubuntu. You didn't say what you need to do so far | 09:27 |
| ActionParsnip | ashiswin: if you mean "install" then download the desktop ISO, MD5 test it, burn it and boot to it | 09:27 |
| ailleantsian | hassanakevazir: NVIDIA GeForce Go 6600 | 09:27 |
| powertool08 | n2diy: Ok, so just boot from a live cd, mkfs <preferred filesystem> on the home partition, mount it and create needed directories, restart. It will lose all user specific settings, but your info will be gone. | 09:28 |
| om26er | i change the exorg for custom resolution but has no effect. i can get 1368*768 but not 1280*1024 | 09:28 |
| hassanakevazir | he is spamming around asking how to develop an OS, i call troll ... | 09:28 |
| om26er | i am using nvidia driver 185 | 09:28 |
| ashiswin | Tartaros, ActionParsnip: i mean creating a bootloader and kernel and making the bootloader call the kernel | 09:28 |
| suigeneris | ActionParsnip, there's no ~/.mozilla/plugins. should I mkdir? | 09:29 |
| ActionParsnip | suigeneris: indeed | 09:29 |
| Tartaros | ashiswin: "creating" as in programming? | 09:29 |
| ashiswin | Tartaros: yea | 09:29 |
| hassanakevazir | ailleantsian, ok, then install the restricted drivers, run sudo nvidia-xconfig and restart | 09:29 |
| Tartaros | ashiswin: well, why? | 09:29 |
| n2diy | powertool08: umm, ok. That seems like work! Wouldn't reformatting /home do the trick? | 09:29 |
| ashiswin | Tartaros: I got plans, why dont u pm me | 09:30 |
| Tartaros | ashiswin: why would I? :) | 09:30 |
| powertool08 | n2diy: If you have some extra space on the drive, make a new partition, mount it in place of the current /home, once happy, delete the other partition and add the freed up space to the new /home partition. | 09:30 |
| ashiswin | Tartaros: Well, u seem to know OS dev | 09:31 |

| powertool08 | n2diy: That's what I said to do, but I don't think you can do it while running the system you are changing, hence the live cd. | 09:31 |
| ailleantsian | hassanakevazir: I run that command and get command not found | 09:31 |
| n2diy | powertool08: this is my test box, everything is backed up already. (knock on wood) | 09:31 |

| Parsi | what's different between ubuntu 32-bit and 64-bit? | 09:32 |
| ActionParsnip | suigeneris: you should then remove any flashplugin packages you have installed like flashplugin-installer or flashplugin-nonfree | 09:32 |
| Parsi | does 64-bit run faster? | 09:33 |
| ActionParsnip | suigeneris: as well as any gnash and swfdec packages too | 09:33 |
| ActionParsnip | Parsi: in some situations yes, as just a desktop, no | 09:33 |
| alankila | Parsi: depends on application. 64-bit systems have a nasty tendency to allocate 8 bytes per pointer, which can be a real memory drain. | 09:33 |
| Parsi | ActionParsnip: what about converting video files ? | 09:34 |
| powertool08 | n2diy: I don't know for sure if you can reformat home on a live system, I'd think you'd have to be at init 3 (single user mode) at least, but best to do it from a live cd. | 09:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Parsi: thats where it is faster, data translations are faster | 09:34 |
| alankila | most applications do not actually need the memory available from this wide pointer, so it is wasted memory. | 09:34 |
| Parsi | ActionParsnip: is there any converter for ubuntu that supports 64-bit? | 09:34 |
| n2diy | powertool08: roger that, thanks. | 09:34 |
| ActionParsnip | alankila: unused ram in linux is used as disk cache to make hdd access faster, so is in no way wasted | 09:34 |
| hassanakevazir | ailleantsian, then uninstall the restricted drivers, and either use "envyng-gtk" to install your nvidia drivers, then run the command, or use a ppa repository, I use https://launchpad.net/~nvidia-vdpau/+archive/ppa | 09:34 |
| ailleantsian | hassanakevazir: I opened the termninal again and it worked however i got this : Vailidation Error, Data incomplete in file /ect/11/xor.conf uneined device "(null)" referenced by screen | 09:35 |
| alankila | ActionParsnip: that in no way addressed what I said. | 09:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Parsi: all the ones on the repos will be 64bit if your install is 64bit | 09:35 |

| hassanakevazir | xor.conf?? | 09:35 |
| alankila | I'm saying that 64-bit java uses 2x the memory of 32-bit java, for instance. If your workload is pointer heavy, 8 bytes per pointer is a real drag. | 09:35 |
| Parsi | ActionParsnip: wow, thanks | 09:35 |
| ailleantsian | sorry my keyboard is a bit broke and it woulnt let me copy and past | 09:35 |
| n2diy | powertool08: 10-4 on sack time, me too, 73 | 09:36 |
| ailleantsian | its Xorg.confi | 09:36 |
| alankila | (which is why they came up with -XX:UseCompressedOops for Java, to use 32-bit pointers even on 64-bit VM, so this problem is gone.) | 09:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Parsi: yeah its pretty sweet, you also need it to address more than 3Gb RAM (unles you install the server kernel which has PAE) | 09:36 |

| ailleantsian | Screen". | 09:36 |
| alankila | otherwise I haven't been able to identify any significant performance improvements from running 64-bit or 32-bit. If you don't need > 2 GB of memory, I don't think it matters to go for 64-bit. | 09:36 |
| n2diy | 4g? | 09:37 |
| Parsi | ActionParsnip: unfortunately my mainboard does not support more than 2GB of RAM | 09:37 |
| alankila | there may be some benefit, but these are generally sucked away by the loss of wide pointers or lower support in applications like java, mono or firefox | 09:37 |
| alankila | err... by the loss implied by wide pointers... | 09:37 |
| theneoindian | hi , i installed db2 . but typing ./db2cc gives error : db2javit: not found | 09:37 |

| MenZa | Antagonist: Might want to throw in a shared /home directory if you want to share configs and such between them, too. | 10:06 |
| ubuntu-liveuser | Is there a way in which I can use the apt-get from the live-cd to upgrade the system on the harddrive? | 10:06 |
| Antagonist | MenZa: Good idea, not something I considered but makes sense. I'm adverse to sharing something like /usr tho due to linux differences | 10:06 |
| Garbin | How can I paste image in this channel? | 10:07 |
| MenZa | Oh yes, don't do that, Antagonist | 10:07 |

| Antagonist | Will the alternate install CD allow me to install ubuntu this way? | 10:07 |
| MenZa | Antagonist: It will do, yes. | 10:08 |
| axeeffect | @anta ...alternalte is capable of upgarding | 10:08 |
| Antagonist | Okay, I'll keep looking for documentation... I was fearing that it might suffer from 'user-friendliness' | 10:08 |
| axeeffect | use a partiton manager | 10:08 |
| dutchbuntu | ActionParsnip, that was a good tip and easier to realize then you thought. Edit VPN Connection -> IPv4 Setttings -> Routes -> Check 'Use this connection only for resources on its network'. Does exactly what you described. | 10:08 |
| axeeffect | gparted live cd | 10:09 |
| axeeffect | resize partiton | 10:09 |
| Antagonist | axeeffect: Upgrading? HDD is clean atm | 10:09 |
| zsolt | make clean No rule to make target `clean'. Stop. | 10:10 |
| zsolt | this is the error message | 10:10 |
| axeeffect | ok..i thought u had 9.04 | 10:10 |
| axeeffect | wat is ur ram size | 10:10 |
| axeeffect | i think u dont need a swap | 10:10 |
| n2diy | zsolt: "sudo make clean" ? | 10:10 |
| Antagonist | axeeffect: 4GB | 10:11 |
| ActionParsnip | dutchbuntu: sweet | 10:11 |
| axeeffect | try 64 bit buntu then | 10:11 |
| Antagonist | This is a bioinformatics dev machine, I will need swap space. | 10:11 |
| === roronoa is now known as friendishan | ||
| zsolt | No rule to make target `clean' | 10:11 |
| llutz | n2diy: if Makefile hasn't defined "clean" even sudo wouldn't make any difference | 10:11 |
| axeeffect | u wont be able to use whole of 4gb in 32bit ubuntu | 10:12 |
| Antagonist | I downloaded the 64-bit one, it didn't see my HDD due to it at some point in its life having belonged to a RAID. Busy downloading the 64-bit alternate | 10:12 |
| === ubuntu-liveuser is now known as foobar11 | ||
| Antagonist | And yes, planning on 64-bit. Running 64-bit windows as well. I have a quad core dammit, gonna use it as it was meant to | 10:12 |
| llutz | Antagonist: you can use those 4GB when using server-kernel (pae) | 10:12 |
| nickapalooza | i'm planning to get 2x1tb in raid 5 | 10:12 |
| axeeffect | cpu 64bit? | 10:13 |
| nickapalooza | yep | 10:13 |
| Antagonist | llutz: I don't understand? | 10:13 |
| inivex | nickapalooza, you need 3 disks to do raid 5....? | 10:13 |
| nickapalooza | are you sure? | 10:13 |
| inivex | mhm | 10:13 |
| llutz | Antagonist: if you use 32Bit with server-kernel, you can use all those 4GB. its a PAE kernel | 10:13 |
| === guest4 is now known as andre_cool | ||
| llutz | Antagonist: just install 32bit, change kernel after that | 10:14 |
| Antagonist | Oh right, well, screw 32-bit tbh | 10:14 |
| axeeffect | anta..wats the proci | 10:14 |
| axeeffect | amd? | 10:14 |
| mesaGL | i'm thinking of giving my users 10.04 lts. will it be ready in time ? and will it work ? | 10:15 |
| Antagonist | Only problem I've had with 64-bit ever have been old printer drivers. But then again to be fair, I have problems with those under 32-bit | 10:15 |
| Antagonist | axeeffect: Intel Core2 Quad Q6600 | 10:15 |
| inivex | Antagonist: i'm jealous..... | 10:15 |
| axeeffect | ya even my cybershot driver doesn work in 64bit :p | 10:15 |

| Antagonist | btw, are there problem nvidia linux drivers for GTX260? Even if its crappy binary ones | 10:17 |
| Antagonist | *proper | 10:17 |
| JediMaster | Antagonist, I'm using GTX260 in ubuntu without any problems using the nvidia binary drivers | 10:17 |
| Antagonist | JediMaster: Thanks | 10:18 |
| ActionParsnip | Antagonist: you can add the nvidia dev repo and use the 190 driver | 10:18 |
| ActionParsnip | Antagonist: https://launchpad.net/~nvidia-vdpau/+archive/ppa | 10:18 |
| mesaGL | ActionParsnip: i know it's not out yet. what i'm asking is : will it be usable when it does come out ? | 10:19 |
| inivex | hey, that's cool, i didn't know nvidia had a repo | 10:19 |
| ActionParsnip | mesaGL: when its released, absolutely | 10:19 |
| ActionParsnip | Antagonist: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-install-nvidia-190-25-beta-drivers-in-ubuntu-jauntyintrepidhardy.html here is a guide to help you install after adding the repo | 10:20 |
| mesaGL | absolutely. i see. and does karmic "absolutely" work too ? | 10:20 |
| ActionParsnip | mesaGL: its released so yes, user individual experiences may be different but essentially, yes | 10:20 |
| llutz | mesaGL: define "absolutely" | 10:21 |
| Garbin | Could anyone help me? My java-based app has some problem, problem details on http://imagebin.org/72299 | 10:21 |
| whammo | does anybody know how to add audio-rt to pam? | 10:22 |
| JediMaster | I've got several virtual Ubuntu servers running on Xen hypervisor in a datacenter in the UK, yesterday the entire DC was DDOS in a huge attack and it took everything down for 2.5 hours. I'm trying to figure out how to fail over to a different data center. The only thing I can think of so far is to clone the site/database on to another machine in a different DC, and use it as secondary DNS, then check the site is up with scripts and cha | 10:22 |
| JediMaster | nge the DNS to point to the second DC should it go down (with low TTL). Any better ideas? | 10:22 |
| JediMaster | don't want to have a single point of failure, so something like a reverse proxy is out of the question as it is the single point. | 10:24 |
| ActionParsnip | JediMaster: you'd need a gateway to failover between the 2 systems | 10:24 |
| om26er | i cannot set custom resolution in ubuntu9.10 using nvidia and the driver version 185 | 10:24 |
| JediMaster | ActionParsnip, single point of failure? | 10:24 |
| kostkon | Garbin, hmm. what jvm do u use? | 10:24 |
| ActionParsnip | JediMaster: could have 2, there will have to be a single point at some point, the IP of the whole thing | 10:24 |
| Garbin | kostkon, java-6-sum | 10:25 |
| kostkon | Garbin, aha ok | 10:25 |
| JediMaster | ActionParsnip, at least with my DNS based idea the only problem is a small downtime with the DNS propagation with the low TTL | 10:25 |
| ActionParsnip | JediMaster: i guess | 10:25 |
| laur | A little help please? I want to install windows on partition where i have installed Ubuntu but the windows tell me the partition is not for windows... and partiton is NTFS what should i do ? | 10:26 |
| ActionParsnip | om26er: if you run nvidia-settings are their resolutions listed? | 10:26 |
| JediMaster | how do big companies get past this issue, Google for instance must be attacked all the time but they transparently fail over to different networks without issue (I'm sure mega$$$ helps) | 10:26 |
| kostkon | Garbin, font prob maybe? do you have the "sun-java-6-fonts" installed? | 10:27 |
| kostkon | !info sun-java-6-fonts | 10:27 |
| ubottu | Package sun-java-6-fonts does not exist in karmic | 10:27 |
| om26er | ActionParsnip, 1280*1024 is not availble there but 1378*768 is available. my lcd is 5:4 | 10:27 |
| Garbin | I check it now | 10:27 |
| laur | is necessary to format the entire HDD ? | 10:27 |
| kostkon | oh right. not in karmic. hmm | 10:27 |
| ActionParsnip | om26er: ok then close the app and run: gksudo nvidia-settings | 10:27 |
| kostkon | !info sun-java6-fonts | 10:27 |

| ActionParsnip | om26er: set the resolution to something and click, write settings to X config file | 10:28 |
| om26er | ActionParsnip, ok | 10:28 |
| JediMaster | laur, you could delete the NTFS partition then try getting windows to setup a new partition there | 10:28 |
| ActionParsnip | om26er: you can then run: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and edit te res to what you wish | 10:28 |
| laur | yah i try this but the win installer tell me is not a valid windows partition... | 10:28 |

| ActionParsnip | Skunk8709: then websearch the make/model of the device you are using | 10:40 |

| kostkon | ricree, :/ | 10:41 |
| kostkon | ricree, ok. hmm | 10:41 |
| ricree | kostkon: Also, mp3s work fine on VLC, so I don't think it's a codec issue | 10:41 |
| kostkon | ricree, it's not, yeah | 10:41 |
| wers | how do i make evolution download read messages? I have a couple of messages in my corporate email. the thing is, i cant access them on evolution because they're marked as read on outlook | 10:41 |
| kostkon | ricree, hmm | 10:42 |
| Fenrir_ | I have problems with my pppoe connection in ubuntu 9.10 | 10:42 |
| kostkon | ricree, it's an upgrade, so | 10:42 |
| ricree | kostkon: My best guess was a library issue somewhere since it's limited to certain programs, but I'm not sure how to track it down past that | 10:42 |
| kostkon | ricree, first thing you could try is to delete the .pulse folder in your home, if there is one, then logout and login again | 10:42 |
| ActionParsnip | ricree: killall pulseaudio; rm -rf ~/.pulse* then reboot | 10:43 |

| ricree | I deleted the .pulse folder and logged out and in. No difference | 10:45 |
| kostkon | ricree, hmm ok | 10:45 |
| simulation | sorry wrong chan :) | 10:45 |
| SquarePi | ActionParsnip, no, I am playing my videos using vlc but those are just codecs | 10:45 |
| ActionParsnip | SquarePi: yes, you will need codecs to play certain files | 10:46 |
| kostkon | ricree, ah, it could be a gstreamer related prob | 10:46 |
| ActionParsnip | SquarePi: if you don't have codecs, you cant play the file | 10:46 |
| SquarePi | ActionParsnip, if I don't have the codecs, they won't play at all. since I can play them I have the codecs | 10:46 |
| ricree | kostkon: any suggestions on how to start checking whether it is? | 10:46 |
| ActionParsnip | SquarePi: have you installed and configured video drivers? | 10:46 |
| RiotingPacifist | which lame -V setting is about 96kbs? or where can i look up this sort of data, it's not in the man | 10:47 |
| SquarePi | ActionParsnip, yes, nvidia driver | 10:47 |
| kostkon | ricree, first of all, try going to pidgin's sound prefs and check which driver is selected. | 10:47 |
| ActionParsnip | SquarePi: is it the same in other media players, like mplayer? | 10:47 |
| SquarePi | haven't tried mplayer yet | 10:47 |
| ricree | kostkon: automatic | 10:48 |
| kostkon | ricree, what other options do you have? | 10:48 |
| ActionParsnip | SquarePi: you could also try adding the medibuntu repo and installing w32codecs (or w64codecs if you re using 64bit ubuntu) | 10:48 |
| Andorin | I'm trying to manually mount my flash drive because Ubuntu doesn't want to auto-mount it anymore... when I type "sudo mount /dev/sdf /mount/point" it tells me I have to specify a file system type. What's the syntax? | 10:48 |
| ActionParsnip | SquarePi: may be an issue with vlc, if it works in other players then its a vlc issue | 10:48 |
| ricree | kostkon: ESD, ALSA, Command | 10:48 |
| kostkon | ricree, ok. change it to alsa | 10:49 |

| kostkon | ricree, pidgin's sound? | 10:50 |
| ricree | kostkon: pidgin, that is | 10:50 |
| Andorin | Guys, I know that the system is recognizing it as a flash drive because both dmesg and lsusb list the name of the flash drive. I just can't browse or modify the files. I assume this is a mount problem? | 10:50 |
| kostkon | ricree, ok | 10:51 |
| kostkon | ricree, now for the rest | 10:51 |
| ricree | kostkon: one sec, I'm going to close it and reopen | 10:51 |
| kostkon | ricree, ok | 10:51 |
| ricree | kostkon: since that was the only sound I know for sure was bugged before | 10:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Andorin: can you see the partition in the output of: sudo fdisk -l | 10:51 |
| Andorin | ActionParsnip: Yes. | 10:51 |

| aaron11 | Hello Is there a way to get PySQlite? I realy need it so that I can setup supybot | 10:56 |
| kostkon | ricree, did the gst properties window open? | 10:57 |
| Andorin | ActionParsnip: Alright. I'm looking at the instructions, and trying them. When I run "sudo mount /device/location /mount/point" I get an error: it wants me to specify a filetype. | 10:57 |
| X3 | Anyone pls I have a grub2 upgrade from legacy it boot ok, works fine except is I issue update-grub I get a silly error : not foundt/grub: 7: | 10:57 |
| ricree | kostkon: yeah, but it didn't work for me in 9.04, so my guess is that this is some holdover from getting sound to work then | 10:57 |
| ricree | kostkon: yeah | 10:57 |
| X3 | theres no such error documented | 10:57 |
| kostkon | ricree, w8. you removed it? | 10:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Andorin: you need to make a new folder to mount to: sudo mkdir /media/usb for example | 10:57 |
| ricree | kostkon: I didn't remove it, but I set everything to use OSS | 10:58 |
| aaron11 | Does http://pysqlite.org/ exist? | 10:58 |
| Andorin | ActionParsnip: Done. | 10:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Andorin: you then mount using: sudo mount /dev/partition_name /media/usb -o uid=1000 and you'll be ok. change partition_name to whatever the partition is named (e.g. /dev/sdb1) | 10:58 |

| Will123456 | hey guys. quick question: for a 1.6 ghz single core AMD XP with a gig of DDR RAM, is it worth going to xubuntu just for a quick boost of speed? it's fine running ubuntu but can struggle with some websites, esp. if there's quite a few tabs up. (i've read that xubuntu is quicker than ubuntu but actually not THAT much quicker, not as much as they make out anyway) | 11:05 |

| ricree | kostkon: yeah | 11:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Andorin: thats the sort of command you need, if its moaing about type then rerun the fdisk command, if its ntfs formatted then add: -t ntfs-3g if its FAT based then use: -t vfat | 11:08 |

| ricree | odd, showing up in synaptic | 11:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Andorin: so the command would be: sudo mount /dev/partition_name -t vfat /media/usb -o uid=1000 | 11:09 |
| ricree | kostkon: but yeah, it's installed | 11:09 |
| kostkon | Will123456, indeed | 11:09 |

| ActionParsnip | Andorin: for example, you'll need to change the partition_name and type if its not vfat | 11:09 |
| Will123456 | ActionParsnip: thanks, i guess i may as well stick with ubuntu then (it's for my mum and she's more familiar with gnome) :) | 11:10 |
| Andorin | ActionParsnip: Right, right... trying it now. | 11:10 |
| kostkon | ricree, eh, which device is selected in gst properties in default output | 11:10 |
| ricree | kostkon: the odd thing is, when I hit the test in gstreamer properties and OSS is selected, it sounds just like my problem. But both ALSA and PulseAudio work fine | 11:10 |
| carverm | Mahaju - sorry, try this link instead https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/newtoubuntu/C/index.html | 11:10 |
| ricree | kostkon: So it's like it's ignoring the gstreamer-properties and going with OSS anyways | 11:10 |
| kostkon | ricree, but your apps still sound choppy | 11:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Will123456: cool, if she likes it then stick with it, user interface familiarity an all | 11:10 |

| kostkon | ricree, eh, what device is selected in gst properties, in the default output section | 11:17 |
| ricree | kostkon: like I said before, it's almost like those apps are ignoring the settings from gstreamer-properties. I'm not sure what would cause that | 11:17 |
| ricree | kostkon: one sec | 11:17 |
| kostkon | ricree, there should be a drop down below the plugin one | 11:18 |
| ricree | kostkon: default at the moment | 11:18 |
| Andorin | ActionParsnip: Yes, but not for a while now. Um, if it helps, I was experimenting with TrueCrypt in order to get the hang of it using this flash drive... so that might have something to do with why I can't mount it? | 11:18 |
| kostkon | ricree, aha. what other options are availablwe to selet? | 11:18 |
| ricree | kostkon: STAC92xx Analog and STAC92xx Digital are the other options | 11:18 |
| ActionParsnip | Andorin: did you just rip the device out of the system or did you use the saftely remove hardware function in windows? | 11:18 |

| ActionParsnip | infidel2: the de file will be put into the apt cache folder, when you run sudo apt-get -f install it will install the deps, then the deb file you wanted | 11:58 |
| carverm | ActionParsnip: The method listed in the post you previously linked? | 11:58 |
| ActionParsnip | carverm: yeah | 11:58 |

| ActionParsnip | infidel2: step 1: install deb file with: sudo dpkg -i file.deb | 12:00 |
| ricree | kostkon: and now it works | 12:00 |
| kostkon | ricree, wow | 12:00 |
| ActionParsnip | infidel2: step 2: run: sudo apt-get -f install | 12:00 |

| suigeneris | ActionParsnip, Dosya adı: libflashplayer.so / Shockwave Flash 10.1 d51 <--- from about:plugins | 12:14 |
| EvRide | well i was actually going to ask you before you posted that... cause of your name | 12:14 |
| kkkduifjalsdd | LjL, I mean it should show me the elapsed time, e.g. when making a presentation | 12:14 |
| nou | suigeneris: full length of what ? | 12:15 |
| EvRide | looking for a stop watch kkkduifjalsdd? | 12:15 |
| suigeneris | nou, that was directed to ActionParsnip, sorry | 12:15 |
| kkkduifjalsdd | EvRide, yes | 12:15 |
| pinguin07 | hai, | 12:16 |

| przemo | hi | 12:17 |
| ActionParsnip | suigeneris: how are videos? | 12:17 |
| przemo | ok thanx | 12:17 |
| LjL | kkkduifjalsdd: i can't find anything like that for the terminal... could probably be hacked together as a script, though | 12:17 |
| EvRide | there is also a stopwatch program you can install through synaptic | 12:17 |
| kkkduifjalsdd | EvRide, thx a lot | 12:17 |
| EvRide | yup | 12:17 |
| cankoy | carverm: try 'apt-get install gnome-common' | 12:17 |
| carverm | cankoy: output is here http://pastebin.com/f1aaac1d9 | 12:18 |
| cankoy | carverm: basically there're 52 packages in troubled state, you need to fix them 1 by 1 if necessary | 12:18 |
| suigeneris | ActionParsnip, it looks okay now. I have to try other videos too | 12:20 |
| suigeneris | thanks | 12:20 |
| cankoy | carverm: can you remove any of those *-dev packages? | 12:20 |
| carverm | cankoy: let me check | 12:20 |
| carverm | cankoy: If I try to remove using 'sudo apt-get remove libxine-dev' for example, this is the result http://pastebin.com/fdca0827 | 12:22 |
| Dougal | I want to run graphical programs on my desktop with superuser privelages, there's a small program that lets me do that, just trying to remember the name. gsudo, is what i thought it was called. Does anyone know the program i'm talking about? | 12:23 |
| Fake51 | anyone wellversed with screen? have a problem with input, keys not getting through properly | 12:24 |
| cankoy | carverm: the number has become 50, what does 'apt-cache policy libxine-dev' report? | 12:24 |
| EagleScreen | Dougal: it is gksu | 12:24 |
| Adrian1 | Hello. Can somebody please help me install ebox ? | 12:24 |
| carverm | cankoy: http://pastebin.com/f63d90ba8 | 12:24 |
| EagleScreen | Fake51: wrong keyboard layout? | 12:25 |
| carverm | cankoy: I was able to remove some of the unused packages a bit earlier, which is why the # of packages wanting attention has dropped | 12:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Adrian1: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox | 12:25 |
| Fake51 | EagleScreen: doubt it, everything else works just fine | 12:25 |
| Fake51 | EagleScreen: my problem is that shift-tab doesn't come through | 12:25 |
| cankoy | carverm: 'apt-get remove libexpat1-dev' | 12:26 |
| EagleScreen | Fake51: do they work in a tty terminal? | 12:26 |
| Adrian1 | ActionParsnip: I done that. It doesen't work. | 12:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Adrian1: thats all i know | 12:27 |
| Dougal | ah, i wanted *gksudo* thanks | 12:27 |
| carverm | cankoy: That removed some packages then ended with an error. Down to 39. http://pastebin.com/f4bf011a1 | 12:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Adrian1: i use ssh, does everything | 12:27 |
| Fake51 | EagleScreen: well, when I run in a terminal without using screen, shift-tab gets through just fine | 12:27 |
| Fake51 | EagleScreen: same comp, using screen, no dice | 12:27 |
| cankoy | carverm: if you followed the output messages, it should be apparent for you how to fix things now? | 12:28 |
| Fake51 | EagleScreen: hmmm, could be a TERM thing ... got it working on another comp, different TERM setting. Thanks for the input :) | 12:29 |
| carverm | cankoy: Not quite. If it won't let me remove libexpat1-dev, what is next step? | 12:29 |
| cankoy | carverm: postrm is causing problem for it, so... | 12:30 |
| cankoy | carverm: correcting, prerm | 12:30 |
| carverm | cankoy: so remove libexpat1.prerm from /var/lib/dpkg/info ? | 12:30 |
| cankoy | carverm: yes | 12:31 |
| mrXX | gdmorning ppl | 12:31 |

| alumno | so what do i do? | 12:34 |
| alumno | when i put gparted, it said that it didnt recognize | 12:35 |
| mrXX | alumno log into windows, go to the folder where ubuntu is setup, and uninstall it | 12:35 |
| Dr_Willis | alumno: be more verbose in your error messages. and you may be using gparted incorrectly | 12:35 |
| benc | Dr_Willis: I'm runnign a web server. when it is reasonable to stop it? Is there a job example for a web server I can use as a reference? | 12:35 |
| Dr_Willis | alumno: You did a normal install or a wubi install? | 12:35 |
| alumno | Dr_Willis, i dunno | 12:35 |

| kahen | and yes, i was using pulseaudio on jaunty as well | 12:38 |
| mrXX | alumno see if you can search the file WUBI somewhere | 12:38 |
| mrXX | alumno or even a folder called ubuntu! | 12:38 |
| alumno | ubuntu is not found :S | 12:38 |
| mrXX | search wubi | 12:39 |
| conb123 | Er i just removed that envelope icon on the top bar that lets you switch between im's, email applications etc assuming i could add it again but now i cannot find it in add to panel where is it? | 12:39 |
| JordanC | Ubuntu was lost, but now is found, alumno | 12:39 |
| alumno | nothing man | 12:39 |
| krishna | i have upgraded using update manager to 9.10 from 04/// now, i want to install windows7.... is it ok to restore grub from 9.04 live cd ? or should i have to download the 9.10 live cd.... because i read in a site before karmic release that karmic has grub 2 while jaunty grub 1.5... so it possible to do from a jaunty cd ??? | 12:39 |
| alumno | JordanC, it's not lost lol, it just that i have 2ubuntu partitions xD | 12:39 |
| mrXX | alumno if so seems like ubuntu has not been installed from windows | 12:39 |
| nathan_muir | hey folks - i would like to change the cpu governer without typing in the password everytime - as i found out, polkit doesn't come with karmic - can someone tell me how to set it up via console/config-file? | 12:39 |
| RobLikesBrunch | Is it correct thinking that a proxy that allows users outside the intranet to access IP-based subscription services should be a reverse proxy? | 12:40 |
| kostkon | kahen, sound stops only in flash? | 12:40 |
| alumno | mrXX, dunno | 12:40 |
| Will123456 | krishna: if you installed 9.04, then you'll have grub 1.5 as your bootloader | 12:40 |
| mrXX | alumno then do u have ubuntu live cd? | 12:40 |
| kahen | krishna: probably not. karmic uses grub2 iirc | 12:40 |
| mrXX | alumno or any bootable cd? | 12:40 |
| JordanC | conb123: Right click on the panel at the top, and click "Add To Panel", then select "Indicator Applet" :) | 12:40 |
| alumno | mrXX, i dont have one | 12:40 |
| Will123456 | krishna: using a 9.04 live CD is probably safer | 12:40 |
| mrXX | alumno how many disk partition you have? | 12:40 |
| ltspadmin | i m getting an error while create the users.. | 12:40 |
| ltspadmin | getting an error message in ubuntu 8.04 ltsp server(users-admin:2285): Liboobs-CRITICAL **: create_dbus_struct_from_user: assertion `(login && password && homedir && shell)' failed | 12:40 |
| alumno | mrXX, dunno | 12:40 |
| conb123 | JordanC: Ah that's what it's called, thanks alot | 12:40 |
| alumno | how do i check? | 12:40 |
| krishna | Will123456, you didnot read properly.. i said "I UPGRADED jaunty to karmic using manager update... so is it ok to use karmic live or januty liove ? | 12:40 |
| Will123456 | krishnha: if you upgraded ubuntu, then it would not have upgraded the grub install | 12:41 |
| kazorin | Anyone here familiar with the various Wine front-ends? I'm just wondering what to get. | 12:41 |
| alumno | but on booting i have ubuntu+it's recovery and memtest stuff, ubuntu+etc, windows xp | 12:41 |
| JordanC | conb123: No problem :) It happens. | 12:41 |
| mrXX | alumno are you in windows or ubuntu right now? | 12:41 |
| redliner | hi | 12:41 |
| Will123456 | krishna: even if you're running 9.10 now, you'll be using a grub 1.5, not 2 | 12:41 |
| krishna | Will123456, ok.. | 12:41 |
| kahen | kostkon: dunno actually. don't have the problem _right now_. i shall make a note of checking that next time (any audio file from any random podcast played with the totem plugin will do, right?) | 12:41 |
| redliner | help me to install it on acer aspire one | 12:41 |
| redliner | zg5 | 12:41 |
| Will123456 | krishna: that's assuming you haven't manually reinstalled grub since upgrading to 9.10 | 12:41 |
| RobLikesBrunch | Is it correct thinking that a proxy that allows users outside the intranet to access IP-based subscription services should be a reverse proxy? | 12:41 |
| kostkon | kahen, yeah | 12:41 |
| krishna | Will123456, i havent | 12:41 |
| mrXX | redliner download wubi and it will do the trick | 12:42 |
| krishna | Will123456, how to check if i had reinstalled grub ? | 12:42 |
| epinky | redliner: install what? | 12:42 |
| redliner | mrXX: exactly i've installed it and configured but LED of wireless isn't working | 12:42 |
| Will123456 | krishna: find some way to check the grub version - i don't know off the top of my head. | 12:42 |
| redliner | sorry for my english | 12:43 |
| mrXX | redliner many hardware is not supported still, use a hard cable to surf the net search for driver if you can get one | 12:43 |
| kazorin | Is anyone here familiar with Wine and it's various front-ends? | 12:43 |
| krishna | menu.lst has not say that its 1.5 | 12:43 |
| redliner | mrXX: so sad | 12:43 |
| mrXX | redliner ya dude, i have acer aspire and my mic is still not working | 12:44 |
| Will123456 | krishna: incidentally i don't know much about restoring grub. i can't say that whatever you're planning to do with it will work- i can only say that if you installed using 9.04 then upgraded using the update manager (instead of say, doing a fresh install from CD), then your grub version will be the same as when you installed grub the first time. | 12:44 |
| akyapt | i have ubuntu 9.04:can any 1 tell me how can i install 9.10 by removing 9.04?????? | 12:44 |

| Dr_Willis | akyapt: the 9.10 installer can reformat the 9.04 filesystems if you telll it to. That will delete ALL the data on the 9.04 filesystems | 12:44 |
| krishna | akyapt, update manager to fresh install | 12:44 |
| Will123456 | krishna: good luck :) | 12:44 |
| krishna | akyapt, * upgrade | 12:44 |
| jcrawford | hey guys is there a reason why apps do not remember what screen they were on previously? I know in OS X and Windows the apps go to the screen they were last on when opened again | 12:44 |
| krishna | akyapt, get a live cd for a fresh install | 12:45 |
| LjL | switchgirl: you could use supybot, i believe it has an rss plugin. ask me further in #ubuntu-bots | 12:45 |
| Will123456 | switchgirl: cumbria is flooding? i have family there | 12:45 |
| switchgirl | Will123456, yeah hell heah they have army billeted to help out | 12:45 |
| krishna | akyapt, if you say "remove" is complete removal of this 9.04 > fresh install | 12:45 |
| switchgirl | its that bad | 12:45 |
| Dr_Willis | jcrawford: thats a feature of the window manager to rember or not. some apps also dont always 'open' properly so they ignore the wm hints | 12:45 |
| kavurt | mrXX: redliner: I have acer expire one and everything is working | 12:46 |
| jcrawford | Dr_Willis, is there a setting I have to set in my WM for that or is it on by default? | 12:46 |
| akyapt | krishna:while booting form cd?? | 12:46 |
| Dr_Willis | jcrawford: shoudl rember by default for gnome i think. Most of my apps do rember here | 12:46 |
| jcrawford | xchat, thunderbird, firefox, etc seem to open on the primary display rather than the last position | 12:46 |
| redliner | kavurt: hmm | 12:46 |
| jcrawford | i am running gnome | 12:46 |
| jphillips86 | How do I switch the command key and control key on a macbook running ubuntu | 12:46 |
| Dr_Willis | jcrawford: firefox rembers here. On my Nvidia/twinview system | 12:46 |
| krishna | akyapt, yes, boot live cd.. "remove" your ubuntu partition.. reinstall ubuntu = "remove:" this complelete.. | 12:46 |
| jcrawford | jphillips86, i can help with that | 12:47 |
| nathan_muir | bye | 12:47 |
| jcrawford | go to System -> Preferences -> Keyboard | 12:47 |
| krishna | akyapt, why not try upgrade using updatemanager ? | 12:47 |
| jcrawford | make sure you choose Apple and Macintosh for the keyboard type | 12:47 |
| Dr_Willis | jcrawford: forget that..firefox dont rember. :) it just opens on the 2nd monitor because thats where my IRC client is at. | 12:47 |
| akyapt | krishna:it takes a along time na | 12:47 |
| alumno | can anyone help me??? | 12:47 |
| alumno | how do i erase the extra ubuntu partition? | 12:47 |
| alumno | either in ubuntu or xp? | 12:47 |
| jcrawford | jphillips86, for what i just said i am talking about the Layout tab :) | 12:48 |
| jcrawford | once that is done let me know and i will tell you the next step | 12:48 |
| Dr_Willis | alumno: use a live cd, and gparted, or fdisk - is one way Or the xp disk management tools | 12:48 |
| epinky | alumno: use gparted CD | 12:48 |
| krishna | akyapt, if your ubuntu is UP TO DATE (has all updates).. then download, alternate.iso and mount it.. its simple because you can pause and resume the download .. | 12:48 |
| alumno | gparted doesnt work :S | 12:49 |
| Dr_Willis | alumno: you may be using it wrong. it works for most people. | 12:49 |
| alumno | but for gparted i dont need a live cd, do i? | 12:49 |
| kavurt | alumno: what do you mean "erase"? do you want to format it? | 12:49 |
| Dr_Willis | alumno: i often use gparted from a live cd. that way all filesystems are unmounted | 12:49 |
| akyapt | krishna:i got the cd on request ...and i tried to boot but didint know how to delete the 9.04 partition ...so cancelled it | 12:49 |
| akyapt | krishna:ya i have all the updates ,but i have the cd... | 12:50 |
| epinky | alumno: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php , it works most of the time | 12:51 |
| george | hello | 12:51 |
| krishna | akyapt, don't.. try downloading alternate iso . because you can pause and resume the download if you slow internet (unlike in update manager) | 12:51 |
| alumno | kavurt, i have two ubuntu partitions | 12:51 |
| jcrawford | yay helped my first ubuntu user haha | 12:51 |
| alumno | cuz one had a problem and broke | 12:51 |
| alumno | but they didnt delete that partition | 12:51 |
| krishna | akyapt, the upgrade is very simple.. just mount the alternate and it will start the upgradation process.. | 12:51 |
| alumno | now i cant enter the other ubuntu partition cuz it says i dont have enough memory | 12:51 |
| Dr_Willis | clarify what you mean by 'enter' ? You mean BOOT? or Mount? | 12:52 |
| meatbun | does ssh require a login name? is there a way u can use ssh via a name-less login? just password | 12:52 |
| Dr_Willis | and what is saying what exactly? | 12:52 |
| Dr_Willis | meatbun: you can set up ssh with keys so you dont need to enter a password.. but ive never seen it set where you dont need a login name | 12:53 |
| meatbun | Dr_Willis, trying to see if i can ssh into router without username, since telnet does not require one | 12:54 |
| alumno | how do i see how much space ive got on my pc? | 12:55 |
| alumno | on ubuntu | 12:55 |
| zaggynl | df -h | 12:55 |
| Dr_Willis | meatbun: err.. telnet is proberly defaulting to using your username and you just dont notice it.. of course its been years since i last used telnet | 12:56 |
| JordanC | Whut u talkin 'bout, Dr_Willis | 12:56 |
| ActionParsnip | JordanC: awesome!!! | 12:56 |

| alumno_ | heheh here i am on my pc ÑP | 12:57 |
| alumno_ | :P | 12:58 |
| Dr_Willis | meatbun: if you say so. last i used telnet was in college.. and i only use ssh these days | 12:58 |
| Dr_Willis | meatbun: somthing seems weird about that statement | 12:58 |
| ActionParsnip | alumno: you can format the partition, you will lose any data on there which may include your boot info, if it is you will need to reinstate the bootup stuff | 12:58 |
| alumno | ok i have a problem | 12:58 |
| alumno | ActionParsnip, i did df -h | 12:58 |

| dooglus | ActionParsnip: thanks; I'll take a look | 13:44 |
| python_root1 | Dooglus lyrics may be the problem | 13:44 |
| ActionParsnip | dooglus: make sure you install ubuntu-restricted-extras too | 13:44 |
| om26er_ | bazhang, thanx. now installing | 13:45 |
| dooglus | python_root1: lyrics with ID3 tags? | 13:45 |
| om26er_ | dooglus, you might have some wma files cuz i get it too when i scan my media library with rhythmbox | 13:45 |
| dooglus | ActionParsnip: in addition to what? that thread is a little inconclusive | 13:46 |
| jcrawford | dooglus, sounds like you have it on shuffle or it is playing song after song and hitting a file type that it does not support. It should be smarter and just ignore filetypes it cannot play IMO but that sounds like the issue | 13:46 |
| dooglus | jcrawford: I didn't play anything at all. I ran rhythmbox. it scans my music on startup even if I don't ask it to play anything | 13:46 |
| kostkon | jcrawford, unfortunatelly, rhtyhm doesn't ignore unknown filetypes | 13:47 |
| jcrawford | dooglus, ah that makes sense if it is scanning upon launch | 13:47 |
| jcrawford | yea someone should submit a patch for that :) | 13:47 |
| vivek | sir can you help | 13:47 |
| * jcrawford wishes he knew enough C | 13:47 | |
| * jcrawford needs to get into C again heh | 13:47 | |
| benc | I've created an upstart job for my app but its status is stop/working. how can I debug the problem? | 13:48 |
| dooglus | jcrawford: I don't think scanning on launch is a bug | 13:48 |
| vivek | need help can you help some one | 13:48 |
| vivek | please | 13:48 |
| bazhang | vivek, then ask a clear question | 13:48 |
| jcrawford | dooglus, no scanning on launch is not a bug but it should ignore filetypes it does not recognize I would consider that to be a bug | 13:49 |
| kostkon | jcrawford, indeed, a very old bug. | 13:49 |
| dooglus | I think it's bad that it doesn't tell me which file the problem is with | 13:50 |
| dooglus | I suspect it's an mp3 | 13:50 |
| dooglus | but since it won't tell me, I can't be sure | 13:50 |
| kostkon | dooglus, any file that isn;t a song or image :S | 13:50 |
| kostkon | dooglus, sorry | 13:50 |
| kostkon | dooglus, you'll have to move them to other folders | 13:50 |
| mataks | !audio | 13:51 |
| ubottu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

| dooglus | kostkon: that's not right. it used to be fine with text and video files. it's something I've added in the last week or so that is triggering the problem | 13:51 |
| kostkon | dooglus, don't know then :S | 13:51 |

| dooglus | kostkon: I added far too much last week | 13:52 |
| jcrawford | doogie, remove what you added since last week then add them one by one to find the conflicting file | 13:52 |
| jcrawford | haha | 13:52 |
| ActionParsnip | dooglus: you need those plugins, they will give what you need | 13:52 |
| kostkon | dooglus, :/ | 13:52 |
| jcrawford | remove it all and add it back in chunks i guess | 13:52 |
| dooglus | ActionParsnip: installing ubuntu-restricted-extras forces the uninstall of devede :( | 13:52 |
| JordanC | Don't remove it all, just remove stuff that is audio-related | 13:52 |

| ActionParsnip | !splash | 13:54 |
| ubottu | To change the Gnome splash screen, use gnome-splashscreen-manager or change the GConf key /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image using !gconf-editor. | 13:54 |
| apparle | ActionParsnip: I use Kubuntu | 13:54 |
| ActionParsnip | dooglus: the list at the bottom of the link will show you the plugin packages to install (gstreamer good bad ugly etc) | 13:54 |

| JediMaster | Hi guys, I've got a Cpanel based primary DNS server and I want to setup an ubuntu box as the secondary, I know it's a horrid dirty hack, but would rsyncing the zone files across hourly actually work? (rather than setting it up properly as a secondary dns and having to put each zone in by hand when creating one through cpanel) | 13:55 |
| jcrawford | what is Kubuntu? | 13:55 |
| apparle | Also how to change the GRUB splash screen | 13:55 |
| McPeter | jcrawford, ubuntu + KDE | 13:55 |
| ActionParsnip | jcrawford: (ubuntu - gnome - metacity ) + (kde + kwin) | 13:55 |

| nonama_ | apparle install those mentioned prgm in kubuntu... | 13:56 |
| BluesKaj | !kde | jcrawford | 13:56 |

| BluesKaj | well, you asked about kubuntu , jcrawford , I assumed you needed to know why it's called that | 13:57 |
| saa5 | Some days after reinstalling karmic I think I have now installed the most important packages. How can I find out, which ones these are (for the installation on another laptop)? | 13:57 |
| ActionParsnip | saa5: you can even try: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 13:57 |
| spridel | dooglus, you may want it to open folder | 13:57 |
| ActionParsnip | !clone | saa5 | 13:57 |

| fasta | How can I _really_ delete files from an USB key? I don't care about wiping. | 14:00 |
| nonama_ | apparle ... sudo apt-get install gnome-splashscreen-manager in kubuntu ... | 14:00 |
| apparle | ActionParsnip: Misunderstanding.... I wan to change the screen where..... kubuntu is written and the progress bar fills up..... before the logon screen | 14:00 |
| ActionParsnip | apparle: let me watch a vid of this. i dropped kde as soon a 4 came out and never looked back | 14:01 |
| LjL | fasta: it may be easier or much harder depending on the filesystem you have on it. i know it's not very easy with ext3 and ext4 (or at least, you're not guaranteed deletion) | 14:01 |
| dooglus | ActionParsnip: I just did "sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-good gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-pitfdll" as suggested in that thread. they were all "already the newest version". I also installed the extras thing you mentions. I still see the error. | 14:01 |
| fasta | LjL: NTFS | 14:01 |
| apparle | nonama_: Isn't there a direct method ... like editing a file etc... don't want to install this as it requires a lot of gnome dependencies | 14:01 |
| kostkon | dooglus, eh, do you have a 32bit or a 64bit isntallation? | 14:02 |
| fasta | LjL: uhm, actually it is "msdos" which I think is vfat. | 14:02 |
| ActionParsnip | apparle: like the 5 icons that light up? | 14:02 |
| LjL | fasta: hm i'm not sure about NTFS. anyway you can use "shred" or "wipe", although they're probably overkill for a USB key (they're meant for magnetic hard drives), so you probably want to use them with options telling them to only make one pass | 14:02 |
| fasta | LjL: I can reformat it if that would make things easier in the future. | 14:02 |
| LjL | fasta: vfat should be fine | 14:02 |
| apparle | ActionParsnip: vid=? 9.10 Kubuntu is awesome.... worth a try..... 4.3 is more stable than 3.5.x | 14:02 |
| fasta | LjL: I am not interested in wiping. | 14:02 |
| dooglus | kostkon: I have both, I dual boot. I only use the 32bit one, because I can't get ndiswrapper to work on the 64bit partition, and the flash plugin is very flaky there too | 14:02 |
| fasta | LjL: just freeing up space. | 14:02 |
| LjL | fasta: uh... "rm"?! | 14:02 |
| ActionParsnip | apparle: i just dislike it now, too slow. LXDE is much to my tatses | 14:02 |
| kostkon | dooglus, then, try installing the w32codecs package from the medibuntu repo | 14:03 |
| dooglus | kostkon: I use the -pae 32bit kernel | 14:03 |
| kostkon | !medibuntu | dooglus | 14:03 |
| ubottu | dooglus: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 14:03 |
| kostkon | dooglus, ok | 14:03 |
| dooglus | kostkon: I have w32codecs installed | 14:03 |
| LjL | fasta: "really" delete is usually meant as opposed to plain deleting. | 14:03 |
| kostkon | dooglus, oh, ok | 14:03 |
| Linux-IRC | Hello, how can i search members in ubuntuforums ? | 14:03 |
| ActionParsnip | apparle: do you mean the thing with teh 5 icons and the large K on the right when it finally loads? | 14:03 |
| apparle | ActionParsnip: No.... before that.... the blue screen with kubuntu and a progress bar..... as there was for ubuntu before 9.10 in orange | 14:03 |
| LjL | fasta: if you just want to free up the space without secure deletion, use rm or your nautilus or anything. | 14:03 |
| fasta | LjL: the problem is that it ends up in my trash. | 14:03 |
| gajan | Hi, we have a network operating system provisioning tool in place, but we are trying to test another that has many promishing features. How can we put both the DHCP server in the network ? | 14:03 |

| ActionParsnip | apparle: yes thats xsplash | 14:03 |
| dooglus | kostkon: http://paste.ubuntu.com/323334/ | 14:03 |

| kostkon | dooglus, then, there aren't any other codec packages you could install i think | 14:04 |
| Linux-IRC | Hello, how can i search members in ubuntuforums ? | 14:04 |
| fasta | LjL: ok, but how can I say "clean trash" then? | 14:04 |
| ActionParsnip | apparle: look for xsplash themes, i think its startupmanager which can change that | 14:04 |
| LjL | fasta: haven't got a clue, i don't use gnome | 14:04 |
| BlouBlou | !repeat | Linux-IRC | 14:04 |

Here there are 4 folders cdrom, disk, disk-1. if i try to open disk or disk1 it says me that i have not the permission. When i try with sudo-su it seems that folder are empty... What to do? Thanks alot | 14:12 |
| dooglus | kostkon: it's possible, yes. rhythmbox doesn't tell me which file has the problem, and I have rather a lot of mp3 files | 14:12 |
| jrib | matteo1990: have you tried mounting the disk yourself? | 14:12 |
| matteo1990 | >jrib May u explain me how? | 14:13 |
| ActionParsnip | apparle: no idea, i think xsplah is a waste of time and remove it | 14:13 |
| kostkon | dooglus, you could try http://mp3val.sourceforge.net/ or http://mp3diags.sourceforge.net/ | 14:13 |
| jrib | matteo1990: pastebin the output of « sudo fdisk -l » and « mount ». I'll be right back, making breakfast | 14:13 |

| dooglus | LjL: I presume he wants to restore from a known state each boot | 14:17 |
| dooglus | LjL: like a 'norton ghost' image, say | 14:17 |
| ActionParsnip | mataks: you could setup an rsync to run at boot to copy every file from the surce to the destibation and overwrite all files | 14:18 |
| ActionParsnip | *source | 14:18 |
| mataks | ActionParsnip, i find someone who write deep freeze script you might wanna check it out.. http://utux-utux.blogspot.com/2008/02/deepfreeze-for-linux-advance.html | 14:18 |
| LjL | mataks: a "restore" is not what deep freeze does. instead, it redirects writes to disk so that they don't actually happen. | 14:19 |

| paolob | Hi guys! a very strange thing: "ssh -X otherpc firefox" doesn't run the otherpc's firefox, but my computer's one. While "ssh -X otherpc epiphany" runs the otherpc's epiphany. What the hell is that?!? | 14:22 |
| IHS_Volunteer | I get the feeling restoring anything beyond the Home Folder would be rather tedious, and restoring the home folder would still delay boot a bit. | 14:22 |
| ActionParsnip | mataks: no but you could make one to mount an iso and rsync the files from the iso to the system every boot, it will make your boot incredibly slow, but will work | 14:22 |
| [psyk] | paolob: why not just make a .sh file to do it for you? | 14:22 |
| LjL | IHS_Volunteer: not to mention the user won't be stopped from dd'ing the entire hard drive in the first place, something that deep freeze prevents | 14:22 |

| ravn1 | hey ppl, I just installed te new ubuntu 9.10, it works as a charm, however aptitude now says a whole lot of packages were autoadded and are no more needed, it's things like obex sever, so I get a bit worried, should I let aptitude remove them? | 14:23 |
| suigeneris | BLUE_BALLS, that's how they set it up | 14:23 |
| suigeneris | ravn1, yes | 14:24 |
| BLUE_BALLS | suigeneris, why would they change the url? | 14:24 |
| ravn1 | are you sure?!? | 14:24 |
| fasta | How do I unlock my keyring if I never set it up? | 14:24 |
| suigeneris | no idea BLUE_BALLS | 14:24 |
| suigeneris | ravn1, yes | 14:24 |
| ActionParsnip | mataks: good to learn, copying copius amount of data especially over SATA will take ages | 14:24 |
| suigeneris | dooglus, yes | 14:24 |

| khamer | Why does ubuntu use 127.0.1.1 in /etc/hosts and not just 127.0.0.1? | 14:26 |
| TuxOtaku | hey, so it's been a while now since the Karmic release....and I still haven't gotten a notice from update manager to upgrade. | 14:26 |
| TuxOtaku | any idea why? | 14:26 |
| ActionParsnip | khamer: its an old bug, some softwares use it afaik | 14:26 |
| ActionParsnip | TuxOtaku: can you give the output of: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 14:27 |
| [psyk] | TuxOtaku: Are other updates displayed? | 14:27 |
| ActionParsnip | TuxOtaku: use http://pastebin.com to give te output | 14:27 |
| TuxOtaku | [psyk], yep, normal updates to jaunty continue as they should | 14:27 |
| IHS_Volunteer | TuxOtaku, distrobution upgrades (such as jaunty to karmic) or are you trying to update an exisiting karmic install? | 14:27 |
| IHS_Volunteer | I think he has LTS updates only enabled | 14:28 |
| TuxOtaku | IHS_Volunteer, nope, I checked that already | 14:28 |
| fasta | How can I delete the "default keyring"? | 14:28 |
| fasta | My keyring manager doesn't even list a "default keyring". | 14:29 |
| fasta | I already tried the password for the login keyring, of course. | 14:30 |
| folliculated34 | hi guys, performance on my ar5001 with ath5k is bad. madwifi and ndiswrapper just don't work. but on my friend's it works very very well... what could be the problem? | 14:30 |
| folliculated34 | My AP's on WEP, Chan 13, and on 802.11b | 14:31 |
| TuxOtaku | and ActionParsnip nothing out of the ordinary from dist-upgrade pops up | 14:31 |
| TuxOtaku | just normal, everyday updates. | 14:31 |
| cankoy | TuxOtaku: sudo do-release-upgrade | 14:32 |
| TuxOtaku | no new release found, cankoy | 14:32 |
| TuxOtaku | I've tried changing repositories as well | 14:32 |
| TuxOtaku | nuthin. | 14:32 |
| cankoy | TuxOtaku: is update-manager-core installed? | 14:33 |
| TuxOtaku | yup | 14:33 |
| rcaskey | hrmm, after upgrading I don't have a max/min button on my window frame, any clues? selecting a new theme changes the look but still no max/min buttons | 14:33 |
| cankoy | TuxOtaku: don't mess with the repo.s, they need to remain at Jaunty for upgrade to work | 14:33 |
| solomon | so I'm on karmic with three heads, and I wanted to move the status area from one head to the other, and i was silly enough to first remove it from one with the intention of adding it to the other rather than just doing 'move'. now gnome-panel seems to be re-starting perpetually, making it impossible to actually use | 14:34 |
| renata | Can I newbie like me establish a SSH connection for data transfer between xubuntu and opensuse? I need to connect two laptops on the same network | 14:34 |
| TuxOtaku | cankoy, no no, I know that...I mean I've tried changing from say, the Canadian repos to the american ones | 14:34 |
| folliculated34_ | rcaskey, metacity or compiz? | 14:34 |
| rcaskey | metacity | 14:34 |
| TuxOtaku | err...mirrors I should say, not repos | 14:34 |
| solomon | anybody got a suggestion of how to end this madness? :) | 14:34 |
| folliculated34_ | renata, sure, why not? ssh (ip) | 14:34 |
| renata | folliculated34_, what does it take? | 14:35 |
| folliculated34_ | rcaskey, I'm not sure where it is, but metacity's settings are somewhere in gconf-editor | 14:35 |
| SikEnCide | renata ssh can run an any operatin system out there. | 14:35 |
| ActionParsnip | TuxOtaku: so upgraded 0 etc? | 14:35 |
| TuxOtaku | ActionParsnip, aye. | 14:35 |
| TuxOtaku | well | 14:35 |
| TuxOtaku | no | 14:35 |
| folliculated34_ | renata, ssh is the package name | 14:36 |
| renata | SikEnCide, thanks, i wish i knew where to start | 14:36 |
| TuxOtaku | it lists a couple of updates to gcc and such, I've done those | 14:36 |
| TuxOtaku | ActionParsnip, | 14:36 |
| TuxOtaku | The following packages have been kept back: | 14:36 |
| TuxOtaku | dpkg-dev g++ lib32asound2 libc6-i386 | 14:36 |
| * rcaskey goes on a hunch and checks to see if metacity's system-wide schema needs to be reintroduced into gconf | 14:36 | |
| ActionParsnip | TuxOtaku: try launching software sources and make sure the release upgrade is set to normal: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/ubuntu-linux-software-source.jpg | 14:37 |
| renata | folliculated34_, Ok, I will install it along with openssh-server. Is that right? | 14:37 |
| TuxOtaku | ActionParsnip, dude I'm like 5 steps ahead of you | 14:37 |
| ActionParsnip | TuxOtaku: good :) | 14:37 |
| TuxOtaku | I've checked all this stuff already a dozen times | 14:38 |
| ActionParsnip | TuxOtaku: can you pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list file please | 14:38 |
| TuxOtaku | sure, sec. | 14:38 |
| renata | folliculated34_, are there anymore packages I need to have to start process? | 14:38 |
| folliculated34_ | the server I think is only for hosts, ssh is all you need to connect from ubuntu to suse | 14:38 |
| folliculated34_ | renata, ssh only I think | 14:38 |

| pawel0411 | #ubuntu | 14:40 |
| TuxOtaku | ActionParsnip, yes, those are ubuntu repos. the university of waterloo here in Ontario mirrors them | 14:40 |
| ActionParsnip | TuxOtaku: can you pastebin the output of: lsb_release -a | 14:40 |
| pawel0411 | ,save | 14:41 |
| pawel0411 | hello | 14:41 |
| ActionParsnip | TuxOtaku: well not very well or you'd be getting lots of updates | 14:41 |
| renata | folliculated34_, sorry for bothering, I appreaciate your help. I would be glad if you could tell me what's next after install? | 14:41 |
| TuxOtaku | ActionParsnip, I've tried switching back to the default mirrors. nothing happens. | 14:41 |
| TuxOtaku | nothing at all. | 14:41 |
| pawel0411 | hello | 14:41 |
| pawel0411 | hello | 14:41 |

| FloodBot1 | pawel0411: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 14:41 |
| ActionParsnip | TuxOtaku: i suggest using the official repos. I can give you my sources file, it is karmic but all the repos have jaunty on them too | 14:41 |
| folliculated34_ | renata, 'ssh (ip of host)' | 14:41 |
| TuxOtaku | ActionParsnip, been there, done that. still no update. | 14:42 |
| cankoy | TuxOtaku: can you reach http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/meta-release | 14:42 |
| TuxOtaku | cankoy, yep | 14:42 |
| ActionParsnip | TuxOtaku: then i don't know what to suggest, try adding an extra repo, see if the updates come down. | 14:42 |
| ActionParsnip | TuxOtaku: do you use vlc? | 14:42 |
| renata | folliculated34_, in terminal? is 'host' another computer I want to connect? | 14:42 |
| TuxOtaku | ActionParsnip, what does VLC have to do with anything? | 14:42 |
| echelon_ | yes, forums helped me get broadcom to work with 9.10 | 14:43 |
| ActionParsnip | TuxOtaku: if we add the repo for vlc 1.0.3 and you run the updates, you should get the new version, showing that updates work | 14:43 |
| folliculated34_ | renata, yes to both questions :) | 14:43 |
| ActionParsnip | TuxOtaku: think outside the box | 14:43 |
| TuxOtaku | ActionParsnip, ok, gimme a sec, and I'll add it...I just had an idea | 14:44 |
| ActionParsnip | TuxOtaku: here is the repo to add: https://launchpad.net/~c-korn/+archive/vlc | 14:44 |
| TuxOtaku | hah!!! | 14:44 |
| ActionParsnip | TuxOtaku: add that and its key and see if you get the update offered (assuming you have vlc 1.0.2 installed already) | 14:45 |
| BluesKaj | ActionParsnip, can you recommend a tutorial for wifi setup in /etc/network/interfaces | 14:45 |

| BluesKaj | ActionParsnip, thanks | 14:45 |

| TuxOtaku | :P | 14:47 |
| wesley_ | vnc | 14:47 |
| jrib | dalfz: before rebuilding, apply the patch and increment the version number using "dch -i" and append something like "~dalfz1" to the version | 14:47 |
| jrib | TuxOtaku: better to actually fix the issue | 14:47 |
| ActionParsnip | NeoCicak: some have said that, its meant to be sped / speeded (never worked that one out and I'm english) up though | 14:48 |
| ActionParsnip | NeoCicak: have a read through: dmesg | less and note the time on the left side, big gaps show you where problems are | 14:48 |
| dalfz | jrib, thanks, trying | 14:48 |
| folliculated34_ | renata, what exactly happened? | 14:48 |
| NeoCicak | ActionParsnip: really? is there some sort of doco that explains how to do this 'speed up' ? | 14:48 |

| jrib | Antagonist: they are both frontends to APT. One is a gui, the other is a cli | 14:52 |

| ActionParsnip | NeoCicak: looks like your wifi driver is slowing down the show, you can run: sudo lshw -C network to find the chip and find some guides to get you righted | 14:52 |
| maveas | Antagonist: Pretty easy.. if you're a noob open up Synaptic and search for the app.. | 14:52 |
| Antagonist | That should do it ta | 14:52 |

| NeoCicak | ActionParsnip: i.e. if i log out now, and log back in.. its quite snappy | 14:53 |
| ActionParsnip | NeoCicak: different kernel dude, may even be a bug with the module it uses | 14:54 |
| ActionParsnip | NeoCicak: 9.04 uses 9.04 kernel and 9.04 kernel modules, karmic uses a different kernel and modules | 14:54 |
| folliculated34_ | renata, what about 'ssh (username)@(ip of host)'? | 14:54 |
| IHS_Volunteer | mikebeecham, ALSA is a dependancy of Pulseaudio, but removing pulse audio doesn't remove alsa. So you already have ALSA, though the 9.10 GUI doesn't include controls for it by default | 14:54 |
| jcrawford | what's it mean when i get errors like this?: update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for mozilla-javaplugin.so. | 14:55 |
| renata | folliculated34_, the same... | 14:55 |
| jrib | jcrawford: just means you don't have any package providing a java plugin | 14:55 |
| dalfz | uh, when i grab something with apt-get source, what path can i find the source in? | 14:55 |
| jrib | dalfz: cwd | 14:56 |
| jcrawford | jrib, so will this default switch not work? | 14:56 |
| jrib | jcrawford: it will still change the rest of the alternatives | 14:56 |
| mikebeecham | IHS_Volunteer: thanks for that. So, how do I revert back to the sound option that came prior to the upgrade to Karmic? | 14:56 |
| folliculated34_ | renata, sorry, I don't know... do you have the ssh server/host on the host? | 14:56 |
| jcrawford | ok and once default is changed can i remove the openjdk or should i leave it installed? I ask because when i went to remove it said it was also going to remove default-jdk | 14:57 |

| fasta | Which package contains boost/shared_ptr.hpp? My apt-file doesn't work on karmic. | 15:00 |
| ActionParsnip | wesley_: theres a good guide here for vino: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC/Servers | 15:01 |
| wesley_ | i mean the server well i know you can use tsclient but what i don't get is in all manuals of youtube they talk about 192.168.X.X ip but that is a intern lan ip | 15:01 |
| jcrawford | how can i find out where the Sun Java 6 JDK was installed to? I need the path to specify for NetBeans | 15:01 |
| jrib | jcrawford: dpkg -L PACKAGE | 15:02 |
| jcrawford | thanks | 15:02 |
| ActionParsnip | wesley_: if you are using VNC over web, DEFIANTELY use an ssh tunnel. VNC has zero security | 15:02 |
| ActionParsnip | wesley_: the transmission is not encrypted so transmissions can be captured | 15:02 |
| hlp | I'm having trouble with /usr/local/man : I can't cd into it or write to it (as root) | 15:03 |
| ActionParsnip | wesley_: also you will need to port forward the various ports from your router to the system running the server to get the connection | 15:03 |
| jrib | hlp: why do you want to? | 15:03 |
| hlp | perl make install | 15:03 |
| wesley_ | yes i did read somthing about that so my friends computer has sudo apt-get install done | 15:03 |
| inivex | wesley_: i think you should reconsider making a vnc server accessible to the world on standard ports... | 15:04 |
| jrib | hlp: what? | 15:04 |
| ActionParsnip | hlp: i just did with cd /usr/local/man; sudo cp <some file> . | 15:04 |
| wesley_ | also a x11vnc -storepasswd | 15:04 |
| jcrawford | thanks for all the help jrib | 15:04 |
| ActionParsnip | wesley_: you need to configure the router to allow the traffic, or it will drop it due to the firewalling nature of nat | 15:05 |
| jrib | jcrawford: no problem | 15:05 |
| munzir | Hi, if I used gdm to boot kubuntu, no reboot or shutdown buttons on the menu! why? | 15:05 |

| ubottu | wesley_: 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 | 15:05 |
| wesley_ | they told me not to open the 5900 port but use ssh | 15:05 |
| ActionParsnip | wesley_: use an ssh tunnel for security, the guide shows how to set it up | 15:05 |
| wesley_ | we both use a router to acces the internet | 15:06 |
| wesley_ | so we both have a internal ip adress | 15:06 |
| hullo | I had vnc's default vnc server running without password auth on w auto configiure network checked and I watched someone login | 15:07 |
| ActionParsnip | wesley_: if you are on the same network it is ok, if you are connecting to the other router via the web then use ssh | 15:07 |
| hullo | my router isn't even fwding 5900 | 15:07 |
| hlp | jrib: I mean perl Makefile.PL; make ; make install | 15:07 |
| ActionParsnip | wesley_: you will need to connect to the WAN IP of the other router (can be found out if the server side visits http://www.ipchicken.com) | 15:08 |

| mind_eraser | I'm having some trouble with hibernate on 9.04 on a Lenovo g530, which used to work just fine. The error I was originally getting was not enough swap, looking into it it appeared that my system was no longer recognizing my 6G swap partition, only seeing 8M of it, most of which were used. I recreated the partition using mkswap and swapon etc (I could go into more detail on this if needed - the upshot is that according to top it is | 15:22 |
| mind_eraser | being recognized now). The problem is I still can't hibernate. It appears to go into a normal hibernation but on restart none of my running apps return. I can't think of where to check now. Any ideas? | 15:22 |

| kb3cda | Anyone know of a good ANSI capable telnet client for Ubuntu? | 15:38 |
| BluesKaj | !medibuntu | space_cadet , check this out | 15:38 |
| ubottu | space_cadet , check this out: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 15:38 |
| JonathanEllis | mind_eraser: If you dont want to flood the channel, post a one-line summary of your problem here with a link to all the details on pastebin.com | 15:38 |
| folliculated34_ | space_cadet, try the one from medibuntu... add it to your sources.list first | 15:38 |
| ccooke | kb3cda: not the command line 'telnet' command, then? | 15:39 |
| space_cadet | BluesKaj, folliculated34_ i did that | 15:39 |
| JonathanEllis | pianolender: Should be in /boot | 15:39 |
| paschu | guys, i need a well working nintendo 64 emulator | 15:39 |
| Zane2 | IHS_Volunteer how do i do this? | 15:39 |

| kb3cda | ccooke: right, looking for a client to handle BBS telnet | 15:39 |
| riegersn | how do i check what graphics driver my karmic install is using | 15:39 |
| BluesKaj | space_cadet, try vlc , it plays flv files | 15:39 |
| xae8koo | DHCP won't work, can someone help me? | 15:39 |
| pianolender | FloodBot4: sorry) | 15:39 |
| mind_eraser | JonathanEllis: ah, wasn't aware of such a thing. Thanks! I think I'm going to take this to a forum however | 15:39 |
| folliculated34_ | what about reinstalling? apt-get purge then apt-get install... you might need to apt-get clean first to make sure you don't get the old one. | 15:39 |
| space_cadet | BluesKaj, no it doesnt | 15:40 |
| folliculated34_ | space_cadet, what about reinstalling? apt-get purge then apt-get install... you might need to apt-get clean first to make sure you don't get the old one. | 15:40 |
| ccooke | kb3cda: the command line will do that, but there are explicit mud clients that might be better for you | 15:40 |
| Zane2 | im now at a prompt and i want to get back to the desktop, do i have to reboot? | 15:40 |
| BluesKaj | space_cadet, , mine does | 15:40 |
| JonathanEllis | paschu: Try searching through synaptic or add/remove programs | 15:40 |
| ccooke | kb3cda: gnome-mud might be worth a try | 15:40 |
| paschu | all games and other programs thta need 3d graphics are lagging. The sound is lagging | 15:40 |
| folliculated34_ | Zane2, if "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start" fails I guess so | 15:40 |
| BluesKaj | space_cadet, but if you insist on not trying new plugins , that's up to you | 15:40 |
| IHS_Volunteer | Zane2, hit ctrl+alt+F1 on a computer this should take you to a command line interface. using "top" will show running processes. ctrl+c will exit out of that. use pkill application_name to kill the offending process.(like firefox) (alt+F7 takes you back to the GUI) | 15:41 |
| folliculated34_ | Zane2, wait... ctrl+alt+f7? | 15:41 |
| space_cadet | BluesKaj, http://pastebin.com/m4591c40b | 15:41 |
| JonathanEllis | paschu: Or even google "ubuntu n64 emulator" or the full name of whatever an n64 is | 15:41 |
| kb3cda | ccooke: I'll give gnome-mud a try, thanks | 15:41 |
| space_cadet | BluesKaj, i am not insisting on not trying new plugins.... I HAVE TRIED NEW PLUGINS | 15:41 |

| whammo | M4K4V3l1: so you have the same configuration on two servers with identical hardware? | 15:41 |
| IHS_Volunteer | Er, JonathanEllis * | 15:41 |
| M4K4V3l1 | whammo: do you think that it can be a problem hardware ? | 15:42 |
| M4K4V3l1 | they are different, HP and olivetti | 15:42 |
| paschu | why are all programs that need 3d graphic lagging??? | 15:42 |
| folliculated34_ | paschu, bad drivers? | 15:42 |
| whammo | M4K4V3l1: I don't actually know, but you say the same configuration is being used in both, and something has to be off somewhere | 15:42 |
| paschu | folliculated34_: where to download drivers? | 15:43 |
| M4K4V3l1 | whammo: yes that's it | 15:43 |
| IHS_Volunteer | Interesting..LTSP booted systems, using localapps Firefox....and the Pentium 2 @366mhz decodes flash videos better than a Pentium3 @ 600mhz, both with 128MB of RAM.. | 15:43 |
| pianolender | folliculated34_: alt+F7 is enough | 15:43 |

| ooaaaoo | anybody here familiar with empathy? | 15:44 |
| dooglus | anyone know of a tool to rip hidden tracks from an audio CD? | 15:44 |
| JonathanEllis | I have a problem with an HP Scanjet C7710A. x-sane detects it as a 7400c:002. When I try to acquire a preview scan, x restarts. I am running Hardy Heron. | 15:44 |
| M4K4V3l1 | whammo: yes | 15:44 |
| space_cadet | so people get the right idea, and don't tell me to do stuff i already have done.... | 15:44 |
| IHS_Volunteer | ooaaaoo, get to the real question. | 15:44 |
| M4K4V3l1 | whammo: I am using both by ssh | 15:44 |
| folliculated34_ | dooglus, sometimes hidden tracks are just in the last song. | 15:44 |
| dooglus | folliculated34_: I know. but in this case they're before the first song | 15:45 |
| space_cadet | why can't i play FLV files, with anything... even with the medibuntu codecs installed. I cannot play flv files with VLC even | 15:45 |
| whammo | M4K4V3l1: a debug output from the working one may be worth a second look | 15:45 |
| ooaaaoo | IHS_Volunteer: how do i configure empathy to work with gnome's environment proxy? | 15:45 |
| M4K4V3l1 | whammo: ok | 15:45 |
| Boohbah | ooaaaoo: this should happen automatically | 15:45 |
| folliculated34_ | dooglus, ok, sry, I don't know how to do that. | 15:45 |
| dooglus | folliculated34_: http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/User:PBryan/cd2flac#Description can do it, but it's command line only, and not in an official package | 15:45 |
| JonathanEllis | dooglus: If a cd player plays them, they are not hidden. How does the CD player access them? | 15:45 |
| ooaaaoo | no, when i apply any "system wide" proxy settings empathy doesnt react | 15:46 |
| dooglus | JonathanEllis: some CD players will access it if I hit the 'back' button from track 1; some won't | 15:46 |

| ActionParsnip | xae8koo: cool websearch that | 15:50 |
| folliculated34_ | space_cadet, flv files in firefox? are you sure they're flv? sounds more like swf to me.. | 15:51 |
| Will123456 | xae8koo: it could be something to do with a change to the sound subsystem in 9.10 | 15:51 |
| space_cadet | no dude, they're flv | 15:51 |
| bazhang | space_cadet, from youtube? | 15:51 |
| Will123456 | xae8koo: have you checked that any sounds work in wine? | 15:51 |
| JonathanEllis | dooglus: When I put an audio CD into my computer it appears in the Places menu. If I click on the audio cd it opens it in Sound Juicer | 15:51 |
| cankoy | space_cadet: aptitude search unstripped <--install these | 15:51 |
| JonathanEllis | dooglus: But there are probably other cd ripping programs in the repos. Have a look in Add/Remove programs or the Software Centre if you are running a more recent release | 15:52 |
| xae8koo | Will123456: Yes, I hear the starting sound of spotify, and if I'm lucky a few seconds of a song. | 15:52 |
| M4K4V3l1 | whammo: yes it works | 15:53 |
| folliculated34_ | space_cadet, have you tried 'file' on them? | 15:53 |

| atzz | I think it's a graphics problem | 16:09 |
| JonathanEllis | Dnrock: As I say its a long time since I used windows. Sounds risky anyway. It might be safer to copy the FAT32 volume to an external hard drive, then delete the partition in GParted and make a new NTFS partition. Then copy the data back. Thats how I would do it to be on the safe side. Otherwise if something goes wrong during the conversion process you could lose data | 16:10 |

| jon5000 | greetings all, i am a bit of a novice. I use karmic on my laptop but store all my files on a usb drive connected to a windows vista desktop. I am able to get to, browse and acxcess this drive using samba with no problem but it seems that whenever the first time i access the smb folder/drive it has to search for it. Also it never shows up when I am using a file browser from some program (such as music player, trying to add s | 16:12 |
| jon5000 | ongs to the library, etc). Is ther an easy way to make this samba drive act like it is local? | 16:12 |
| cankoy | JohnT: also try #ubuntu-kernel | 16:12 |
| M4K4V3l1 | whammo: you are talking about the working serv ? | 16:12 |

| rapha | space_cadet: sorry imon a small mobile phone ... everything takes lots of time ... the link you gave me i had already found but the info there is kinda crap | 16:15 |

| atzz | space_cadet, do you know of any solution to this problem.. I can't watch any video ... it's all jerky and slow ? | 16:17 |
| atzz | earlier driver i810 used to solve the problem | 16:17 |

| dooglus | JonathanEllis: I can. It's 4:14 long. Track 0 is 9 minutes or so | 16:18 |

| M4K4V3l1 | chown -R openldap.openldap /var/lib/ldap | 16:18 |
| space_cadet | BluesKaj, it turns out those files are SWF | 16:18 |

| JonathanEllis | dooglus: I imagine most CD players usually start from zero time by default. Dont know if Sound Juicer can play or extract negative time. I do wish record companies would quit it with introducing non-standard features into discs that may or may not play on common hardware | 16:19 |
| whammo | M4K4V3l1: I think I learned a bit too | 16:19 |
| JonathanEllis | dooglus: Wait! You said you had a track zero? Does that have the bits you want? | 16:19 |
| dooglus | JonathanEllis: I think the other track is track 0, but I'm not sure | 16:19 |
| M4K4V3l1 | whammo: ok.. happy for that | 16:20 |
| dooglus | JonathanEllis: sound juicer only shows 1 through 15 | 16:20 |
| M4K4V3l1 | whammo: hope to see you next time.. bye | 16:20 |
| dooglus | JonathanEllis: I see track 0 on a 'real' (black box) CD player | 16:20 |
| BluesKaj | space_cadet, got any examples of real flv files ? | 16:20 |
| whammo | M4K4V3l1: seeya | 16:20 |
| JonathanEllis | dooglus: Its annoying isnt it. As you said, some hardware CD players even wont see track 0. | 16:20 |

| alabd_ | grawity: gdm login ? | 16:22 |
| JonathanEllis | dooglus: You might just have to try different CD ripping programs until you find one that will pick up your hidden tracks. If the worst comes to the worst, you could connect your CD player to your sound card with a cable and record the analog audio | 16:22 |

| JonathanEllis | I have a scanning problem. x-sane detects my HP C7710A scanner as a 7400. I understand the avision backend has been included in the SANE distribution for years so that's not surprising. What is surprising is when I try to acquire a preview image, my x windows session restarts. Is this likely to be a problem in sane or xsane? Can you think what I might google to try to solve this problem? | 16:31 |
| renata | ccmonster, Can I find any of these in synaptic? | 16:32 |
| grawity | renata: The most common encoder is 'lame' | 16:33 |

| ner0x | Anyone familiar with hylafax? | 16:33 |

| DexterLB | so I need to migrate the entire 150GB /home to it | 16:55 |
| djura-san | i tried but there are no answer there :( | 16:55 |
| a931bw | how to recompile my kernel? | 16:55 |
| djura-san | *answers | 16:55 |
| DexterLB | it has a L O T of tiny files and symlinks | 16:55 |
| ikonia | a931bw: why do you want to ? | 16:55 |
| ikonia | DexterLB: what's the issue ? | 16:55 |
| a931bw | learn | 16:55 |
| a931bw | Ikonia : learn | 16:55 |
| DexterLB | it's under warranty so I can't just open it and stick the HDD in | 16:55 |
| IdleOne | djura-san: xchat also has a great FAQ on xchat.org I don't think there is a setting for a global hide join/parts | 16:55 |
| DexterLB | so I'll have to do it by network | 16:55 |
| lson8874 | i can't install ubuntu on my 250gb sata 2. It doesn't show on the install options. But it is detected going to location on the live cd???? Please, someone help me... | 16:56 |
| ikonia | a931bw: ubuntu packages the kernel, it has some specific patches and packaging requirments, that's quite different than compiling a kernel, you have to work out what part you want to learn | 16:56 |
| DexterLB | so which is the fastest method for lots of small files and symlinks? I'm familiar with vsftpd and, of course, samba | 16:56 |
| djura-san | IdleOne: is there option to do this trought bash script? | 16:56 |
| JonathanEllis | DexterLB: You can open it if you are careful not to leave traces. Does your computer have screws or a door? | 16:56 |
| DexterLB | i don't know yet | 16:56 |
| ikonia | DexterLB: what is your target machine ? | 16:56 |
| IdleOne | djura-san: I would not know sorry | 16:56 |
| JonathanEllis | DexterLB: Anyway, opening up the case and installing new hardware should not invalidate your warranty | 16:56 |
| DexterLB | ok | 16:57 |
| aeon-ltd | lson8874: please don't bump, also are you sure its mounted during install? | 16:57 |
| WFS | sigh.. installed gnome-do but dunno what im doin | 16:57 |

| blck1 | when I spin down my hard drive... does it put the read head into the parking position? | 17:14 |
| aeon-ltd | if you know how to do this safely then continue(if not i don't have anymore solutions)- open up your case and remove all other drives than the one you need reboot into a live cd wipe completely and appply changes then use the regular ubuntu installer | 17:14 |
| ikonia | blck1: if you drive supports it via the spindown method you use | 17:14 |
| lson8874 | so i must presume that the disk is in good condition | 17:14 |

| Spoom | hi folks, i just installed karmic fresh from the alternative install cd and am getting the same issue that i had with the livecd, namely, that X boots to an out of sync screen that my flatscreen 1680x1050 philips 220sw monitor cannot display | 17:15 |
| Spoom | i'm currently in textmode recovery mode | 17:16 |
| Spoom | anyone know how to force X to use a low mode like 800x600 for now? | 17:16 |
| blck1 | It seem like I have to try it, but thanks for help | 17:16 |
| ikonia | Spoom: what card do you have ? | 17:16 |
| ikonia | blck1: sorry | 17:16 |
| lson8874 | ikonia: i'm trying to install ubuntu on a 250gb sata2 disk. but it doesn't show on the instalation options, only my other disks, incuding another sata that i have | 17:16 |
| Spoom | ikonia: geforce of some variety, built-in | 17:16 |
| ikonia | Spoom: ok - my first hint would be to force the use of "vesa" driver in the xorg configuration file, then IF you have a working screen lets fix it | 17:17 |
| Spoom | ok | 17:17 |
| Spoom | and on that note, where DID xorg.conf disappear to, anyway? | 17:17 |
| ikonia | lson8874: are the other disks on the same sata controller | 17:17 |
| lson8874 | aeon-ltd: would that not be a problem when i reinstall all the drives? will that not mess things with the grub? | 17:18 |
| aeon-ltd | lson8874: although this is not a 'clean' solution you can edit grub later to boot from other drives and partitions | 17:19 |
| Spoom | ikonia: where should i go from here? i'm not exactly certain as to how to get X to use the vesa driver | 17:19 |
| Spoom | remember, this is out-of-the-box karmic | 17:19 |
| Spoom | i think it's using NV right now | 17:19 |
| lson8874 | ikonia: well, i do not know... i must say that the disk shows on gparted and on location menu, i mean everywhere except on the ubuntu instalation options | 17:20 |

| Spoom | sinurge: if you're referring to me, i can't do that as i'm currently in text mode in another terminal | 17:23 |

| naknomik | How to get rid of the software RAID that was created so I get my disks back as individual disks for a new installation? Somehow when Live CD boots, it detects the RAID and loads it automatically. | 17:43 |
| Dr_Willis | naknomik: you dont want tokeep any data on the disks? | 17:43 |
| Mike_lifeguard | Is there a free tool for hard drive burn-in? | 17:44 |
| bzrk_ | Mike_lifeguard: a hard drive burn-in? oO i guess you can use dd but why? | 17:44 |
| mars_ | Anyone an idea? | 17:45 |
| Roby | Hello, i have a problem with my Graphics on Ubuntu 9.10 ( and every previous versions ) | 17:45 |
| Sierradump | Can someone help me "learn" about the different partitions it takes to setup ubuntu? I want to install to an SD Card, but I want to cut back on the reads/writes | 17:45 |
| simplexio | naknomik: mdadm --help, or if you just want delete everything just repartiotion disks | 17:45 |
| Dr_Willis | Sierradump: ive seen 'netbook' forum threads that discuss all the options/tricks to do that. | 17:46 |
| Mike_lifeguard | bzrk_: to do standardized burn-in? Also, to look at what they actually do to the drive (ie as research) | 17:46 |
| Sierradump | I am going to use the SD Card as my "hardrive" to install XBMC onto. | 17:46 |
| bzrk_ | Mike_lifeguard: i dont know what you try to achieve, but if you just want to stresstest a new hd for a while dd will do fine | 17:46 |
| Dr_Willis | Sierradump: i belive the basics was to use ext2, and move some tmp/cache dirs to ram. was the core of most of what i recall reading | 17:47 |
| Roby | Could anyone help me with my problem? ive just installed the graphics drivers of my graphics card, ( Ati HD 3870x2 ) but i get a splash logo with AMD Unsupported hardware, what can i do? | 17:47 |
| naknomik | Dr_Willis: No I don't want to keep data. | 17:48 |
| Mike_lifeguard | bzrk_: real burn-in should at a minimum monitor SMART parameters while doing rw specifically designed to exercise the full range of expected operation. dd is really not a burn-in tool. | 17:48 |
| bzrk_ | Mike_lifeguard: open two terminals, run dd in one, smartctl in the other | 17:49 |
| Dr_Willis | naknomik: use fdisk delete the partitons.. reboot.. reinstall | 17:49 |
| Mike_lifeguard | bzrk_: that's useful, thanks | 17:50 |

| rethus | big community (the biggest for linux... much people say), but seems the hardest one to get an easy answer :( | 17:50 |
| sllide | rethus: lol | 17:50 |
| Dr_Willis | mars_: how did you make this usb-live-ubunt 9.10 ? | 17:51 |

| ubuspire | hi all, network manager will start dnsmasq with some options if i set an interface to "shared". how do i edit those options? | 17:51 |
| mars_ | Dr_willis: using unetbooting | 17:51 |
| asdasd | how much space need to install Ubuntu? / ¿? /home ¿? /swap ¿? | 17:51 |
| rethus | kostkon: mhh. interesting hint.. in other irc u got banned if u repeat ur quest. quickly :) | 17:51 |
| rethus | which ubuntu repos are to use to keep my ubuntu server up to date? | 17:52 |
| blck1 | asdasd, not more than 10 gb, but why not the whole hard diskk? | 17:52 |
| Dr_Willis | mars_: theres ways to make it have a persistant 'save' file and thus keep changes.. or use the ubuntu usb disk creator tool. I think pendrivelinux.com or the ubuntu forums mention how to make a unetbotin install be persistant. | 17:52 |
| blck1 | asdasd, swap depends to your ram | 17:52 |
| ChogyDan | asdasd: 8g for / at least 1g for swap plus ram, but at least as much swap as your ram. The rest to /home | 17:52 |
| cellofellow | asdasd: you want your swap > your ram cause that's where your ram goes when you hibernate. | 17:53 |
| rethus | which ubuntu repos are to use to keep my ubuntu server up to date? | 17:53 |
| mars_ | Dr_Willis: Thanks, so the keywords might be unetbootin and persistant? Is that what its called? | 17:53 |
| Riotta | I want to start my own PPA and looking some help about it can someone point me to some help files on it? mainly how to build packages for ppa? | 17:54 |
| cellofellow | rethus: normal and updates should do it. | 17:54 |
| LjL | !repositories | rethus | 17:54 |
| ubottu | rethus: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories | 17:54 |
| ChogyDan | rethus: what do you mean, uptodate? why not just the security one? | 17:54 |
| kostkon | !packaging | Riotta | 17:54 |
| ubottu | Riotta: The packaging guide is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages for information on getting a package integrated into Ubuntu - Other developer resources are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment - See also !backports | 17:54 |
| LjL | cellofellow: and security | 17:54 |
| Dr_Willis | mars_: yep. i recall lookingit up a few months back. you edit the syslinux.cfg file to add some option. and make a save 'file' for the changes | 17:54 |
| Bergcube | My wife has run into a small showstopper with 9.10. She follows the language course at http://www.bbc.co.uk/languages/spanish/mividaloca/ and this worked in 9.04, but not after upgrade. I have tried with 64 bit and 32 bit, with and without the codecs from medibuntu. I have googled, and still end up short. It wouldn't be fun to have to downgrade her PC, so does anyone have any sensible advice? | 17:54 |
| cellofellow | LjL: oh, yes, of course. rethus ^^^^^ | 17:54 |
| Dr_Willis | mars_: or just use the usb-creator tool from a live cd, OR that unetbootin install and do it to a 2nd flash drive.. :) that maybe eaier | 17:54 |
| rethus | thx | 17:55 |
| kostkon | Riotta, also https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA | 17:55 |
| Riotta | thx | 17:55 |
| Dr_Willis | mars_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=811397 has some of the info. but may be out of date for 9.10 | 17:56 |
| rethus | ChogyDan: i mean security updates for server | 17:56 |
| ChogyDan | Bergcube: what isnt working? | 17:56 |
| rethus | maybe in future sum distribution update... | 17:56 |
| fulat2k | hi folks, i'm using karmic with nvidia restricted drivers 185. i noticed that the CPU usage on the X process is rather high. from 22-40% on idle. i don't even have desktop effects turned on. any idea what's wrong | 17:56 |

| rethus | how can i make a distibution update with apt? | 17:56 |
| SusanDitweiller | hi all | 17:57 |
| Bergcube | ChogyDan~ When clicking on an episode the window opens as intended, but after that it stops with "loading" for ever. | 17:57 |
| coachz | are ubuntu people friendly ? :-) | 17:57 |
| maco | coachz: i think so, yes | 17:57 |
| dracnoc | rethus: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 17:57 |
| cellofellow | coachz: ubuntu people are people. So, mostly yes. | 17:57 |
| Dr_Willis | doonhamer: it has an icon in the menus? if so drag the icon to the desktop. and check its propertoes to see what its launching and the path to the tool. | 17:57 |
| maco | rethus: its generally not recommended | 17:57 |
| mars_ | Sorry for me not getting all you said. I am not nativly speaking english. Did I understand you right that there is way to get "persistent" ubuntu drives using a somehow modified unetbootin version that is somewhere out there? | 17:57 |
| coachz | hehe | 17:57 |
| maco | rethus: if you want to use the command line in general, sudo do-release-upgrade | 17:57 |
| coachz | are there any big diffs of the latest Ubuntu or Fedora that make one more compelling | 17:57 |
| cellofellow | rethus: distro updates with ubuntu-server always go very smoothly for me. Ubuntu desktop not so much. | 17:58 |
| SusanDitweiller | guys - anybody seen this error:(EE) NVIDIA(0): Error recovery failed. | 17:58 |
| Ome | fulat2k, the monitor uses some of your processor | 17:58 |
| ChogyDan | rethus: can you please ask your whole question in a single line? its getting confusing | 17:58 |
| doonhamer | ty Dr_willis , lol now why didnt I think of that ! | 17:58 |
| Scoup | i have wireless and i want to share to router wireless on cable, someone can help me? | 17:58 |
| SusanDitweiller | i come from the Solaris world | 17:58 |
| Dr_Willis | mars_: yes. theres a small edit to the syslinux.cfg file and the creation of a ext3 'filesystem' in a file - to store the changes | 17:58 |
| maco | coachz: i dont know whats in latest fedora. youd have to read release notes from both and compare | 17:58 |
| wuffi600 | hi. | 17:58 |
| Grenyaris | I have to use corkscrew at [insert location here] and I want to use SCP with my alternate ssh config file... | 17:58 |
| Grenyaris | This is my command so far, but it fails | 17:58 |
| Grenyaris | scp -F ~/.ssh/alt_config sumo@chuckwagon.com:/home/gort/some_random_file /alt/location/ | 17:58 |
| Moon_Doggy | i'm trying to make my desktop wireless but using the iwconfig command shows no wireless extension, do i need to scan for hardware changes? | 17:58 |
| ChogyDan | Bergcube: well, it seems to be working for me | 17:58 |
| fulat2k | Ome: before this (8.10), cpu usage was stable at 1-2% | 17:58 |
| fulat2k | Ome: even with the monitor on. | 17:58 |
| Dr_Willis | doonhamer: i still wonder why you can tdo a 'properties' on the menus item. :( that would save a step | 17:58 |
| cellofellow | coachz: Fedora has some newer software packages (newer version of Xorg for example) but its design philosophy is more geared towards geeky types who know what they are doing. | 17:58 |
| coachz | i see | 17:58 |
| SusanDitweiller | i come from solaris world | 17:58 |
| Bergcube | ChogyDan~ Thanks, that is good to hear. And do you run a (more or less) default Ubuntu setup? | 17:59 |
| Grenyaris | It tells me the usage is wrong... | 17:59 |
| coachz | i'm a geeky type who doesn't know what he's doing | 17:59 |
| SusanDitweiller | never had to mess with video drivers | 17:59 |
| Ome | fulat2k, i have an old cpu and i have the same problem :) | 17:59 |
| inivex | solaris... HA! | 17:59 |
| SusanDitweiller | yep | 17:59 |
| SusanDitweiller | Started in Solaris 2.6 | 17:59 |
| cellofellow | coachz: Ubuntu (or Ubuntu-based like Mint and SuperOS) are better choices then. | 17:59 |
| ChogyDan | Bergcube: I suppose. This is an upgrade from 8.10 atm | 17:59 |
| SusanDitweiller | but now this: (EE) NVIDIA(0): Error recovery failed. | 17:59 |
| SusanDitweiller | very annoying | 17:59 |
| fulat2k | Ome: i turned off System Monitor and did a vmstat. same thing. i'm running on a C2D 1.8 :) | 17:59 |
| FloodBot1 | SusanDitweiller: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 17:59 |

| mars_ | all: Ciao! | 17:59 |
| Ome | fulat2k, so i don't know what else | 17:59 |
| fulat2k | Ome: hmm... prolly change to an older driver and see what's wrong :) | 18:00 |
| doonhamer | i see your point Dr Willis! , | 18:00 |
| Bergcube | ChogyDan~ Ok, thanks. Knowing it works for SOME helps. Plus then I don't think there's any point in downgrading. | 18:00 |
| Dr_Willis | doonhamer: yea. :) A simple way to see what things are actially called/named/path would be handy | 18:00 |
| simplexio | Bergcube: on my system(9.10 in virtualbox) video plays nice, but i cant hear sound, which probably because i dont have audio enabled | 18:00 |
| ChogyDan | Bergcube: who you mind running a command off my website? | 18:00 |
| Bergcube | simplexio~ thanks. | 18:01 |
| Bergcube | ChogyDan~ What do you mean? | 18:01 |
| ChogyDan | Bergcube: nvm: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras sun-java6-plugin && sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun && sudo apt-get remove mozilla-plugin-gnash swf-player | 18:01 |
| Bergcube | ChogyDan~ I'll give it a try. I already have the restricted extras, but the rest is honestly new for me. | 18:02 |
| coachz | does ubuntu support 64 bit intel ? | 18:02 |
| cellofellow | coachz: yes | 18:02 |
| coachz | cool | 18:02 |
| cellofellow | coachz: they call it amd64 | 18:02 |
| Dr_Willis | and 64bit amd. :) | 18:03 |
| doonhamer | and in general drwillis , where would executables be kept , the only path i am seeing (doing as you sugested ) is to the desktop where the shortcut resides | 18:03 |
| dAlfa89_ | Is there a MSPaint clone for Ubuntu? | 18:03 |
| coachz | amd ? | 18:03 |
| cellofellow | dAlfa89_: not really, but there's always GIMP. | 18:03 |
| coachz | that's not intel | 18:03 |
| Dr_Willis | doonhamer: if you know the name of the binary, you can use the 'which COMMAND' to find the proper path to it | 18:03 |
| wuffi600 | If i do a "aptitude update" i get an error-message about "signature verification", please see http://paste.ubuntu.com/323544/ . How can i get rid of the error-message and get aptitude working? | 18:03 |
| cellofellow | coachz: amd came up witthe x86_64 architecture so they call it amd64. | 18:03 |
| doonhamer | ok will atept that thanks drwillis | 18:03 |
| Dr_Willis | coachz: amd64 is the generic term | 18:03 |
| coachz | ok, that's funky | 18:03 |
| gburton | one thing that is irritating about gimp is you cant easily draw a square, or a straight line... it would be nice to have a boring, plain and simple "raster graphics" extension. | 18:03 |
| Dr_Willis | coachz: history of computers :) | 18:03 |
| cellofellow | coachz: the i386 architecture in Ubuntu is regular x86. | 18:03 |
| mMezquitale | dAlfa89_, yes but its a lot better than paint, itś called GIMP | 18:04 |
| dAlfa89_ | mMezquitale, GIMP is too slow and heavy for me, I was hoping to find something fast and small for basic fun pictures, nothing serious | 18:04 |

| Dr_Willis | :) | 18:05 |
| cellofellow | GIMP works for me. :) | 18:05 |
| Dr_Willis | I still miss the good old Deluxe paint. | 18:05 |
| cellofellow | Or Inkscape. | 18:05 |
| mMezquitale | dAlfa89_, use gpaint like cankoy suggested | 18:05 |
| doonhamer | thanks DR Willis "which" worked , as did my guess on how to launch "which" command lol | 18:05 |
| maco | for rectangles, just use rectangle select, then flood it | 18:05 |
| Grenyaris | anyone ever use scp with the -F option? | 18:06 |
| Dr_Willis | doonhamer: shell basics 101 :) | 18:06 |

| alabd_ | how to restart network-manager-openvpn | 18:06 |
| maco | mikobuntu_: yeah considered a more advanced program than necessary | 18:06 |
| coachz | i see in distro watch that Ubuntu is #1, so what makes it beat out Fedora ? | 18:07 |
| mikobuntu_ | maco; true, but thats part of the fun...learning it. | 18:07 |
| Dr_Willis | check out the 'meet the gimp' web site/video tutorials/feeds for upping your gimp-fu-skills | 18:07 |
| maco | coachz: fedora is more aimed at bleeding edge, which sometimes requires fore-knowledge of linux | 18:07 |
| Dr_Willis | coachz: this channel, :) | 18:07 |
| coachz | i see :-) | 18:07 |
| Bergcube | ChogyDan~ Nope. When running the update-java part it gave lots of error messages that it didn't have any alternatives. Besides it didn't find any gnash | 18:07 |
| doonhamer | foolish I know Dr_Willis but i skipped shell basics 101 ! sorry never the time lol everything is needs driven! | 18:08 |
| mMezquitale | coachz, dont know about fedora but ubuntu is for human beings, I prefer ubuntu because itś faster than open SuSE, the GUI works fine, and itś a breeze installing software | 18:08 |
| coachz | i'm in ! | 18:08 |
| coachz | so i get version 9.1 64 bit i guess | 18:08 |
| kc7zzv | My computer crashes while booting Karmic. This is a fresh install and I have an intel graphics card. "Crash" means that the screen goes black after fsck and before the gdm load screen. Numlock and SysRq don't work. Any advice what I should do next? | 18:08 |

| Grenyaris | ok, other question... I have a Lenovo T-500. I upgraded to 9.10, now NetworkManager won't manage my Wireless - it says "Wireless is Disabled"... is there a config I can edit to change this? | 18:08 |
| rethus | before this i have to insert other repos? | 18:08 |
| coachz | this one? edubuntu-9.10-dvd-amd64.iso | 18:08 |
| maco | coachz: 9.10 != 9.1 that wouldve been a january release ;) 9 = 2009, 10 = october | 18:08 |
| cellofellow | coachz: just to clarify: Fedora is the development playground for Red Hat. It's not *really* meant to be used. | 18:08 |
| maco | coachz: thats the education version | 18:08 |
| coachz | oh | 18:09 |
| cellofellow | maco: coachz: 9.1 wouldn't exist in this numbering scheme, it'd be 9.01 for January. | 18:09 |
| coachz | what one do i get for pc 64 bit | 18:09 |
| cellofellow | Format is y.mm | 18:09 |
| maco | cellofellow: yes i know | 18:09 |

| rethus | dracnoc: menas... i know it on suse... if i want to upgrade from 11.0 to 11.1 i have first insert other repos to zypper and then make zyyper dup (like apt-get dist-upgrade)... how is it on ubuntu? | 18:09 |
| coachz | i'm here: http://torrent.ubuntu.com:6969/ | 18:09 |
| cellofellow | coachz: depends. How much RAM do you have? | 18:09 |
| mMezquitale | Grenyaris, try turning the wireless card on | 18:09 |
| coachz | 2gb | 18:10 |
| maco | cellofellow: oh you mean the 0? yeah....i cant figure out how *else* youd parse 9.1 though :P | 18:10 |
| Grenyaris | It is on... I can use "ifup wlan0" etc... but Network Manager won't manage it... | 18:10 |
| Dr_Willis | coachz: i belive they have amd64 in the title/name | 18:10 |
| cellofellow | coachz: you'll get little benefit using the 64bit version. Get the i386 Desktop image. | 18:10 |
| coachz | why not 64bit though | 18:10 |
| coachz | what's the disadvantage | 18:10 |
| maco | coachz: no reason to go 64 without 4gib ram | 18:10 |
| cellofellow | coachz: only real benefit is the ability to address >4GB of RAM. | 18:10 |
| Dr_Willis | coachz: i use 64bit on my machines even if i just have 2gb of ram. i find it helps my video reencoiding speeds.. and all my Lan is using 64bit. | 18:11 |
| coachz | ahh | 18:11 |
| coachz | ok so which one to dl | 18:11 |
| maco | coachz: and pointers are bigger on 64bit so youll have higher memory usage | 18:11 |
| maco | coachz: go for i386 | 18:11 |
| cellofellow | coachz: unless you're going to be encoding lots of video, no real reason to use 64bit. | 18:11 |
| Dr_Willis | coachz: so it depoends on what you want to do. | 18:11 |
| coachz | ok but which one: http://torrent.ubuntu.com:6969/ | 18:11 |
| coachz | i'll go 32 bit | 18:11 |
| Dr_Willis | coachz: the one that has 9.10 in the name.. | 18:11 |

| Dr_Willis | coachz: dont use the dvd | 18:12 |
| coachz | maco, that's just a cd | 18:12 |
| cellofellow | coachz: yes but... it's just extra language packs. | 18:13 |
| cellofellow | coachz: there's also SuperOS which is a DVD-size distro with lots of extra goodies. | 18:13 |

| X-Ray | so when I install the system, everything is work nice... bu when I boot the system, whereis eth0... just see eth1... I have two nic and see just one :| | 18:14 |
| X-Ray | I am very dissapointed with this! | 18:14 |
| cellofellow | xPUD is Ubuntu-based and has X and a Web-based GUI all in 25MB. | 18:14 |
| cellofellow | xPUD is awesome. | 18:14 |
| X-Ray | so I decide go back to CentOS.... :| | 18:14 |
| cellofellow | X-Ray: Why not Debian? | 18:15 |
| coachz | X-Ray, how long have you been trying to get this working ? | 18:15 |
| FewClues | @grenyaris 20? Is that counting all known dirivatives? | 18:15 |
| simplexio | X-Ray: ifconfig eth0 up ? | 18:15 |
| simplexio | X-Ray: lshw probably shows its there | 18:15 |
| sidewalk | anyone know if ubuntu 64 bit runs on an Atom 330? | 18:15 |
| Grenyaris | FewClues: Not sure...knowing Linux, it could be "20 of the top 100" ;) | 18:16 |
| X-Ray | simplexio: no such device | 18:16 |
| simplexio | X-Ray: well does lshw or lspci tell tou that you have 2 ethernetcards ? | 18:16 |
| X-Ray | simplexio: lshw and lspci, both show me the NIC's | 18:16 |
| Dr_Willis | sidewalk: ive heard the atom's are not 64bit cpus. but no idea if thats ALL atoms. or only the older ones. | 18:16 |
| Vesayth | Hello. I'm having trouble accessing computers on my home network by their hostnames rather than their ip address. I'm connecting to the network via OpenVPN and as far as I can tell, I've pushed the correct settings to the client and it still doesn't seem to work right. Anyone have any ideas? The server is running Ubuntu 9.10 64-bit and the client is Vista 32-bit | 18:17 |
| X-Ray | simplexio: and when I remove tg3 module and re-load it , I see this message: udev: renamed network interface eth0 to eth1 | 18:17 |
| cellofellow | Vesayth: sounds like it's not using the correct nameserver. | 18:18 |
| cellofellow | Vesayth: what does /etc/resolv.conf look like? | 18:18 |
| Grenyaris | Vesayth: "Vista 32-bit" - well THERE's your problem, right there... | 18:18 |
| Vesayth | cellofellow: one sec | 18:18 |
| cellofellow | oh, there's no /etc/resolv.conf in vista | 18:18 |
| cellofellow | How do you check the DNS configuration in Vista? | 18:18 |
| X-Ray | simplexio: I have other server. same configuration... And everything is correct! | 18:18 |
| orsonj | I have a half a gig of stuff in /usr/lib/debug/ Is it safe to delete that stuff? | 18:19 |
| armence | Is there an easy way to run a program when I login? | 18:19 |
| Zane2 | i get this error only in ubuntu 9.10 , A hard disk may be failing one ore more hdd report health problems. | 18:19 |
| Dr_Willis | armence: depends on the program and what you want it to do ;) | 18:19 |
| cellofellow | orsonj: no, probably better to go through synaptic and remove all the *-dbg packages. | 18:19 |
| Dr_Willis | !startup | 18:19 |
| ubottu | To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot | 18:19 |
| simplexio | X-Ray: check what is in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules | 18:19 |
| alabd_ | there is a cert file how to give it's path to openvpn ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/323482/ | 18:19 |
| armence | Dr_Willis: It's a command line python script | 18:20 |
| Zane2 | but i dont get it if i then install 9.04 or even win7 | 18:20 |
| orsonj | ok, thanks cellofellow | 18:20 |
| Dr_Willis | armence: see the !startup factoid info above. :) | 18:20 |
| Zane2 | only when i install 9.10 | 18:20 |
| Vesayth | cellowfellow: http://pastebin.com/m55696b39 | 18:20 |
| X-Ray | simplexio: yes.. this file exist and show me two interface, with two different MAC's | 18:20 |
| Vesayth | where a.b.c.d = my router's ip | 18:20 |
| sidewalk | !scsi | 18:20 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about scsi | 18:20 |
| cellofellow | Vesayth: that's on your server? | 18:20 |
| Vesayth | yes | 18:20 |
| Zane2 | can i fix the reporting of this or ignor it | 18:20 |
| cellofellow | Vesayth: which box isn't working, the Vista box? | 18:20 |
| Vesayth | cellowfellow: correct | 18:21 |
| sidewalk | hmmpfz... no bot in ? | 18:21 |
| Cale | Is there a convenient way to inform the package manager that under no circumstances will I ever want to install pulseaudio or evolution, even if the operation I asked for would require it? I'd rather get an error message in those cases. | 18:21 |
| Dr_Willis | sidewalk: the bot replied. :) | 18:21 |
| D3RGPS31 | I have an ati 4850 video card, 9.11 drivers, 3D is perfect but 2D is choppy; is there a workaround besides using multiple xorg.conf with separate drivers | 18:21 |
| Vesayth | cellowfellow: if need be I can also pastebin my smb.conf and openvpn.conf | 18:21 |
| simplexio | X-Ray: so that mean that there is two ethernet cards, check from there what names they use | 18:21 |
| BA^ | how do i remove the title bar off a terminal window? i've used compiz with !title=trans but it doesn't work | 18:22 |
| === ubuntu is now known as blast-ended-scre | ||
| maco | Cale: putting a hold on it in synaptic after removing it may work | 18:22 |

| * blast jumps | 18:23 | |
| simplexio | X-Ray: yes,, and you nice troll. | 18:23 |
| Cale | maco: I'll try that, thanks | 18:23 |
| simplexio | one more to forever ignore list | 18:23 |
| sidewalk | does Ubuntu 9.10 installation for scsi require alternative iso, or not? | 18:23 |
| Dr_Willis | sidewalk: ive never heard of it being needed.. but ive never personally had a actual scsi drive/controller card | 18:24 |
| sidewalk | i mean software raid | 18:24 |
| BA^ | how do you remove the titlebar from a term window? | 18:24 |
| Dr_Willis | sidewalk: oh :) no idea on that | 18:24 |
| Dr_Willis | !raid | 18:24 |
| ubottu | Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto | 18:24 |
| cellofellow | Vesayth: I guess you need to check the DNS settings in the Vista machine then. | 18:24 |
| alokito | is there a good limewire-like opensource software in ubuntu? | 18:25 |
| blast | is there a webcam-recording package that actually works without corrupting any frames (aka: cheese sucks)? | 18:25 |
| Dr_Willis | !frostwire | alokito | 18:25 |
| ubottu | alokito: frostwire is a totally open source version of Limewire. For installation help, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FrostWire | 18:25 |
| Vesayth | cellofellow: ipconfig /all lists the correct WINS and DNS servers. Here is smb.conf: http://pastebin.com/m4fe6fe23 | 18:25 |
| Grenyaris | alokito: you mean for Torrents? or more like LimeWIre? | 18:25 |
| blast | frostwire blows compared to limewire | 18:26 |
| cellofellow | blast: try VLC. | 18:26 |
| alokito | Grenyaris: no I mean search and download | 18:26 |
| Ome | BA^, menu display => display title menu | 18:26 |
| cellofellow | blast: for Webcam. | 18:26 |
| alokito | Dr_Willis: thanks! i'll try that now :) | 18:26 |
| alokito | blast: u mean it's not so good as limewire? :-/ | 18:26 |
| PacketCollision | anyone else noticed X-Chat freezing on startup (and sometimes when connecting to new networks)? | 18:27 |
| blast | cellofellow: does that *save* video or just play it? and how reliably does it open video devices? ive *never* had it successfully open *any* video device? do you have any other ideas, cuz im fresh out? | 18:27 |
| marianom | randa, ping. | 18:27 |
| kostkon | PacketCollision, nope | 18:27 |
| alabd_ | clicking on vpn connection name will not make it work , what is the problem ? | 18:27 |
| randa | marianom: hey | 18:27 |
| D3RGPS31 | I have an ati 4850 video card, fglrx drivers; 3D is perfect but 2D is choppy; is there a workaround (besides separate xorg.conf) | 18:27 |
| blast | alokito: yes, limewire is better, at least the versions of limewire and frostwire ive tried | 18:27 |
| BA^ | Ome: i don't have that option. i'm using the default one in xfce under karmic | 18:28 |
| VCoolio | pharum: does the cat command work in a terminal? try to put | tail behind it in your conkyrc | 18:28 |
| PacketCollision | kostkon: on my desktop it works fine (although during the 9.10 beta it froze on startup sometimes), but on my laptop it freezes about 3 out of 4 times I start it up. | 18:28 |
| BluesKaj | torrent sites are best , lime/frostwire are good apps but they contain a lotta garbage | 18:28 |
| PacketCollision | both are running Karmic amd64 | 18:28 |
| johannes1 | hi, is there a program to check if a usb stick is physically OK? | 18:29 |
| kostkon | PacketCollision, did you try reinstalling it for example | 18:29 |
| lu_ | hi all | 18:29 |
| BA^ | is there a better terminal out there that does transparency and can easily eliminate the title bar? | 18:30 |
| grawity | BA^: xfce4-terminal | 18:30 |
| nemo | BA^: huh. you'd think every terminal could do transparency now w/ compiz :) | 18:30 |
| Dr_Willis | BA^: check the package manager theres proberly a dozen terminal alternatives | 18:31 |
| VCoolio | BA^: you'll need to convince your window manager to forget about the title bar; and roxterm is very good | 18:31 |
| Dr_Willis | BA^: i like 'terminator' -its a gnome-terminal enhancement | 18:31 |
| whiteinge | I'm trying to script a headless install of Hardy-server into a VirtualBox vm. My preseed file halts the machine when the installation is done. It halts but does not power off. I've tried all the usual acpi/apm cheat codes. Anyone know if the server installation disk simply does not do acpi at all? | 18:31 |
| alokito | frostwire isn't in karmic repo? :-=/ | 18:31 |
| PacketCollision | kostkon: I haven't on this install, but it happened on an install that was upgraded to release from the beta, and it still happens on a clean install from the release disk | 18:31 |
| BA^ | ok thanks i'll try that | 18:31 |
| nemo | BA^: actually, gnome-terminal seems to do transparency just fine - and if fglrx was not teh suck, I'd be able to get my blurring of stuff behind it too :-/ | 18:31 |
| Dr_Willis | alokito: the factoid gave the url to get it | 18:31 |
| kostkon | PacketCollision, hmm | 18:32 |
| PacketCollision | Filed a bug, but it no one seems to be paying any attention to it | 18:32 |
| alokito | ok | 18:32 |
| Dr_Willis | Hmm I thouhg the terminal apps did 'fake' transparency. not true transparencly like you would get with compiz | 18:32 |
| kostkon | PacketCollision, hmm ok | 18:32 |
| VCoolio | Dr_Willis: depends; roxterm has true transparancy, also the one with three characters, vde? | 18:33 |
| onlysomequesti | what about error "Caused by: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no swt-pi-gtk-3139 in java.library.path" | 18:33 |
| nemo | Dr_Willis: well, it appears to be real transparency over here | 18:33 |
| nemo | Dr_Willis: it must be using compiz | 18:33 |
| nemo | Dr_Willis: for example, the scrolling text in background terminals updates fine | 18:33 |
| Bragex9 | Which processor is best of theese two: Intel celeron dual core E3200 or AMD X2 3250E 1,5 GHz, 512 k? | 18:33 |
| nemo | Dr_Willis: I bet if I was on my nvidia machine at home, I'd get the blur too | 18:33 |
| Dr_Willis | nemo: Hmm.. gotta see.. if i can find the setting to enable that.. (but i dont see the point of transpternt terminals, making text harder to read) | 18:34 |
| nether | I've been searching for a way to(through the terminal) install and use software to crack wep keys and possibly wpa if possible. everything i've tried came with an error, does anyone have any experience that can walk me through it step by step? | 18:34 |
| PacketCollision | nemo: afaik blur isn't enabled by default | 18:34 |
| PacketCollision | use compizconfig-settings-manager to turn it on | 18:34 |
| meking | any1 know where to find a real new moon cam | 18:34 |
| D3RGPS31 | I have an ati 4850 video card, fglrx drivers; 3D is perfect but 2D is choppy; is there a workaround besides separate xorg.conf (ubuntu 9.10, x32) | 18:34 |
| VCoolio | Dr_Willis: could be nice if you're copying code from a howto in your browser; fake transparency will just display the wallpaper even if above a window | 18:34 |
| meking | does any1 know where to find a good new moon torrent?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? | 18:35 |
| PacketCollision | nether: you need a supported wifi card, and the use kismet and aircrack-ng. Compiling both from source is a good idea, as the ubuntu repos are hopelessly out of date | 18:35 |

| coachz | i got my Ubuntu cd burning. i'll soon be one of YOU ! :-) | 18:37 |
| valdu55 | Hello. My FF crashes | 18:37 |
| vladovg | wit su comand that all | 18:38 |
| FewClues | @jrib are all torrents considered illegal? I use it to download Ubuntu all the time. | 18:38 |
| nemo | PacketCollision: yeah. I know | 18:38 |
| Dr_Willis | vladovg: if the user is in the proper admin griup they will | 18:38 |
| alokito | k | 18:38 |
| nemo | PacketCollision: unfortunately I can't turn it on since there is no support for it in fglrx :( | 18:38 |
| cellofellow | FewClues: torrent itself is legal | 18:38 |
| cellofellow | FewClues: just like http or smtp. | 18:38 |
| PacketCollision | nemo: ah, I didn't know that. | 18:38 |
| nemo | PacketCollision: and actually no support for it in the OSS drivers either | 18:38 |
| vladovg | how ay eneible the root shel wit sudo -i | 18:38 |
| nemo | nor any planned | 18:38 |
| jrib | FewClues: no, but new moon torrents are... | 18:38 |
| VCoolio | vladovg: start with not using sudo for firefox, that is not useful; and under what circumstances does it crash? with flash? on launch? | 18:38 |
| nemo | PacketCollision: the card has the capability. not sure why it is not exposed under linux :( | 18:38 |
| xoveruk | how do i scroll down with 'top' command | 18:38 |
| vladovg | but ay won to enter the shell with su | 18:38 |
| alokito | valdu55: disable all add-ons and see if it still crash | 18:38 |
| FewClues | @cellofellow Then why does Ubuntu include it in their packages? | 18:39 |
| jrib | !sudo | vladovg | 18:39 |
| ubottu | vladovg: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) | 18:39 |
| coachz | what chat program do you guys use for IRC ? | 18:39 |
| D3RGPS31 | I have an ati 4850 video card, fglrx drivers; 3D is perfect but 2D is choppy; is there a workaround besides separate xorg.conf (ubuntu 9.10, x32) | 18:39 |
| PacketCollision | nemo: I've avoided ATI for years now, because of their drivers | 18:39 |

Now when I try to open a document containing a space in its name or in its path, Office 12 starts well but it fails to find correctly the file. For instance, I've got a Word document named "my file.docx" and I open it through gnome interface, Word opens well but it tries to open "my.docx" and "file.docx" and complains to find them, logical! Have you an | 18:39 |

| nether | 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01) | 18:40 |
| Dr_Willis | lu_: as a possible work around, you could try just drag/dropping the file onto an open office app. Other then that. no idea | 18:40 |
| VCoolio | valdu55: which distro? karmic? what firefox version? | 18:41 |
| Dr_Willis | !resetpanels | 18:41 |

| VCoolio | valdu55: is it with just running flash or when you go fullscreen with it? | 18:42 |
| nether | so what should i do? | 18:42 |
| nelson8874 | i'm desperate. i want to install ubuntu on a 250gb sata disk but it doesn't show on the instalation options!!!! | 18:42 |
| valdu55 | its random crash | 18:42 |
| valdu55 | with normal window | 18:42 |
| nelson8874 | it is a sata 2 | 18:42 |
| cellofellow | nelson8874: you try the alternative image? | 18:42 |
| nelson8874 | what alternative image? | 18:43 |
| nemo | PacketCollision: I almost got an ATI card. I appreciate their better integration w/ X11 (Display management) | 18:43 |
| VCoolio | valdu55: did you install flashplugin-nonfree ? or try the plugin from the official site | 18:43 |
| Dr_Willis | nelson8874: check 'fdisk -l' in a console to see if the disk is seen there | 18:43 |
| nemo | PacketCollision: but. yeah. clearly their drivers continue to degrade | 18:43 |
| cellofellow | nelson8874: it's the text-mode installer. Installs in edge cases tthat the livecd breaks. | 18:43 |
| cellofellow | !Alternative | 18:43 |
| ubottu | The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the link on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal | 18:43 |
| valdu55 | non-free | 18:43 |
| nemo | PacketCollision: another thing ATI fails at - NPOTT - and that's crossplatform. a premature optimisation that completely screws up small textures, regardless of your settings | 18:44 |
| nemo | PacketCollision: is only in recent drivers... | 18:44 |

| Uber-Geek | here's one, I have two HD's, I want to format one for NTFS to use in vitualbox. Can ubuntu do that? | 18:45 |
| cellofellow | Moon_Doggy: you can set your particular wireless connection profile as "Available to All Users" and then it can even connect if you're not logged in. | 18:45 |
| Dr_Willis | Uber-Geek: using virtualbox to access real/physical hard drives.. is not reccomended. | 18:45 |
| cellofellow | Moon_Doggy: right-click the network applet and click Edit Connections | 18:45 |
| Dr_Willis | Uber-Geek: you can use the ntfsprogs package toformat a disk to be ntfs I recall | 18:46 |
| Uber-Geek | dr_willis: can I tell virtualbox to use that entire drive as it's virtual storage? | 18:46 |

| nelson8874 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/323593/plain/ | 18:46 |
| cellofellow | Moon_Doggy: still, the real problem is that the key is being stored in the "default" keyring instead of the "login" keyring. | 18:46 |
| cellofellow | Moon_Doggy: or do what PacketCollision said. | 18:47 |

| wrapster | i mean one existing partition. | 18:59 |
| cellofellow | wrapster: you need to remove one of your primary partitions to put in an extended. Or you can just resize (expand) one of your existing partitions. | 19:00 |

| Guest51310 | Dr_Willis: is it worth the possible hassle? Im really just curious about what KDE has to offer, having only really delved into GNOME | 19:00 |

| coz_ | shawn__, minimum 256 if possible increase that to 512 | 19:16 |
| IdleOne | Bayam: you can install applications using Synaptic package Manager | 19:16 |
| fission6 | cellofellow: is t hta itm, do i need to install anything to support nfs | 19:16 |
| cellofellow | I know there's an ubuntu-studio package. | 19:16 |
| Bayam | how? | 19:16 |
| cellofellow | fission6: there might be... | 19:16 |
| cellofellow | !nfs | 19:16 |
| ubottu | nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. | 19:16 |
| Bayam | owh | 19:16 |
| coz_ | shawn__, then you will have to save that setting...reboot and see if anything is not working correctly | 19:16 |
| Bayam | then? | 19:16 |
| jcrawford | ok guys i really need some help lol. I need to have this command run in the background with every boot of the machine: ssh -L 3306:localhost:3306 user@domain.com & | 19:16 |
| Bayam | can you teach me | 19:16 |
| IdleOne | Bayam: go to System > Administration > Synaptic. select the app you want and then click apply | 19:16 |
| shawn__ | coz_, ok i will check that out. thanks for the pointers | 19:16 |
| jcrawford | i added it to /etc/init.d/mysql_tunnel but it does not seem to be connecting | 19:16 |
| coz_ | shawn__, no problem...let us know if that helps at all | 19:16 |
| jcrawford | I have setup my keys and i can ssh in terminal without the need for a password | 19:17 |

| cellofellow | mMezquitale: yay! somebody knows the package name | 19:17 |
| jcrawford | hmm | 19:17 |
| jcrawford | cellofellow, i will try that now | 19:17 |
| wrapster | cellofellow: give me a few mins here.. its a little tough to decide :) | 19:18 |
| coz_ | shawn__, looking hold on | 19:18 |
| cellofellow | wrapster: backups are recommended | 19:18 |
| wrapster | cellofellow: ive done it already... im just mounting all the partitions to see if the data there is necessary or not... | 19:18 |
| mMezquitale | cellofellow, I'm using ubuntustudio, isn't everyone else?!? | 19:18 |
| cellofellow | mMezquitale: fraid not | 19:19 |
| wrapster | cellofellow: but one more thing.. the partition numbers displayed here will be the same as that being displayed on the installed machine right... | 19:19 |
| cellofellow | I intended to install UbuntuStudio along side regular Ubuntu, but it didn't work out. | 19:19 |
| cellofellow | wrapster: yeah | 19:19 |
| jcrawford | cellofellow, can you explain why though? | 19:19 |
| apeepa | hello everyone, I have a webservice where I recieve XML posts trough HTTP (php CURL) .. I want to setup my iptables so I am protected against attacks, can someone please point me int he right direction since I am really new at this. | 19:19 |
| cellofellow | wrapster: if they're all out of order you can rename them | 19:19 |
| coz_ | shawn__, that is certainly possible...but since I am not up on all intel issues you could go to #intel channel and see if they have any solutions especially for kernel version | 19:19 |
| jcrawford | because when i login it should connect | 19:19 |
| coachz | that was easy :-) | 19:19 |
| jcrawford | or is everything run as root on startup? | 19:20 |
| mMezquitale | Bayam, once you install ubuntustudio-desktop you have to install the realtime kernel to lower latency in your applications: sudo apt-get install linux-rt | 19:20 |
| coachz | xp dead, now running ubuntu . yay | 19:20 |
| cellofellow | jcrawford: cause the ssh command will be running as root and need the keys to be in /root where it will access them. | 19:20 |
| cellofellow | jcrawford: /root/.ssh/ in particular. | 19:20 |
| wrapster | cellofellow: i dont want to delete sda1 which has trash now . only to reboot and see.. that sda1 did not have trash but something important | 19:20 |
| jcrawford | cellofellow, will that still forward my port even though my app is not running as root? | 19:20 |
| shawn__ | coz_, will check that out as well, do you know what server the intel channel is on? | 19:20 |
| wrapster | cellofellow: this wont happen right. | 19:20 |
| jcrawford | cellofellow, yea i followed you on the .ssh/ | 19:20 |
| cellofellow | jcrawford: also, may want to put -fN options on the SSH command. -f means fork to background and -N means don't run anything on the server. | 19:20 |
| coz_ | shawn__, I dont want to guide you in the wrong direction..so...any input from any of the bug reports and also other channels is always good to keep in mind before making many changes the the system | 19:20 |
| jcrawford | cellofellow, ah thanks for that tip will do that now | 19:21 |
| cellofellow | wrapster: they will be the same. | 19:21 |

| cellofellow | jcrawford: and owned by root. | 19:23 |
| cellofellow | gah, he left | 19:24 |
| kossan | Funzo: Already tried that and yes it does. | 19:24 |

| hedkandi | IdleOne, my point is that if I am root, then I can assign ownership as I please | 19:27 |
| kruqnut2 | what should i download to make this work? | 19:27 |
| hedkandi | My system is not going to break just because I have a file assigned to a non-existant user | 19:27 |

| cellofellow | wrapster: hm | 19:28 |

| vr_mex | Is it possible to add an information icon and a delete file icon to the tool bar of nautilus, so as to select a file and then click on the info icon and get its properties, or to select a file and click on the delete icon and have it deleted? | 19:47 |
| coachz | fwiw, the Ubuntu software center is sweet too | 19:47 |
| cellofellow | coachz: twinview works fine on my system but compiz does flicker when I use that large a screen. Normally doesn't bother me. | 19:48 |

| noone | @Parsi: when i tried livecd I've got the same problem with you | 19:50 |
| mcurran | It's probably compiz or the update manager freezing things, or maybe burn a new disc | 19:50 |

| Funzo | kossan: feel free to try, I'd recommend posting on the forum and see if someone can help | 19:52 |
| noone | when i reinstall compiz, the problem happened again | 19:52 |
| metropolis | seanicus: at least, I used to be able to | 19:52 |
| noone | note that I have disabled all the effect | 19:52 |
| Parsi | noone: oh! it's shit without effects | 19:52 |
| metropolis | I saw some chatter on the net that it's a function of using compiz, but maybe not. In any case, I just really really want to have a workspace per project, and then label them as such | 19:53 |
| metropolis | because sometimes I get lost with 9 workspaces | 19:53 |
| seanicus | I would like to know how to, metropolis . Also, is it possible to have a theme or background for each workspace? | 19:53 |

| [zz] | Okay, question time. | 19:59 |

| country0129 | Tried what was out there and it didn't work. | 19:59 |
| addisonj | well the USB connection is probably going to make it more difficult but try that guide ubottu posted and see how it goes | 20:00 |
| [zz] | I'm running 9.10, and I inexplicably can't play .avi. I've tried several different players, and none of them have worked. | 20:00 |
| rick__ | i had banshee running once with my ipod by doing a killall -9 nautilus in terminal, then connecting my ipod, then starting nautilus, and finally starting banshee. it worked but then when restarting and just trying to open banshee without the ipod connected, it won't open anymore | 20:00 |

| country0129 | I'll go try it again. | 20:00 |

| davebs | I had some free time on my hands today so I setup dual WAN, does anyone know any better ways to load balance than using "nexthop"? | 20:01 |
| rick__ | did you install gstreamer also like noone said? | 20:01 |
| noone | Parsi: maybe no, in my own opinion | 20:01 |
| Funzo | [zz] vlc player can play anything and doesnt share its codecs with the rest of the system like the gnome apps so it definitely wont fail even if you just have to install the correct plugins | 20:01 |
| [zz] | it appears to already be on there from aptitude's reaction to my attempt to install it | 20:01 |
| Parsi | noone: older version of compiz works fine | 20:02 |
| addisonj | zz, did you grab ubuntu restricted? | 20:02 |
| Parsi | can i install that? | 20:02 |
| Funzo | [zz] alt + f2 and run vlc if you can't find it in the menu | 20:02 |

| jcrawford | alabd_, well how will the JAVA plugins work if there is no JRE to run them? | 20:08 |
| edoceo | mintux: simple shell wrapper around wodim would work | 20:08 |
| edoceo | for i in $(seq 1 15) do; wodim -eject -sao dev=/dev/sr0 image.iso; done | 20:09 |
| jcrawford | the answer I would say is you probably should have the JRE installed before trying to run them, however I also believe that unless you opted out of it OpenJDK is installed by default with Ubuntu so they may work without Sun's JRE | 20:09 |

| Mylesmadness | Is there a way to put ubuntu shutdown menu in the main menu thing | 21:13 |
| trism | PFA: on karmic you could add the main menu applet to the panel, which does that...there is also the gnome-main-menu package which uses the slab menu, although I couldn't get this working on karmic (but it works fine on jaunty, mostly because it doesn't seem to automatically add it to the add to panel menu) | 21:13 |
| chea | so many great tips in this channel :) | 21:14 |
| PFA | trism, what's the "slab menu"? | 21:14 |

| rsk | ryanCH maybe firefox? some embedded video | 21:14 |
| chea | ryanCH: try killing sound driver | 21:14 |
| chea | :P | 21:14 |

| Lostinspace_46 | geev You may have to take ownership of the file and 777 it...I have had to do that with some files | 21:14 |
| treyjedi | Hey everyone, new to Ubuntu, have everything working except for my VPN. We connect to a Fortigate 300 box. I was wondering the best way to set this up would be? | 21:15 |
| trism | PFA: it is kind of like the windows start menu, it has recently used applications and a search bar, along with normal menus | 21:15 |
| geev | Lostinspace_46: how do i do that | 21:15 |

| guntbert | ScarEye_: yes | 21:30 |
| Jamed | songer: alt+f2 -> gparted <enter> if it is installed | 21:30 |

| benc2 | I'm trying to run an erlang app with init.d script and someone told me I need to set the HOME enviorement varaible to make it work | 21:33 |
| benc2 | what does it means? | 21:33 |
| didi | Does someone know how to drop the icon of empathy from the notification area? | 21:33 |
| iceroot_ | benc2: what is output of echo $HOME | 21:34 |
| infidel2 | is there a way to split a screen in half in gnome, to fake dual-monitors on a laptop? | 21:34 |
| mcurran | infidel2 - Do you have a key for it? | 21:34 |
| benc2 | iceroot_: iniside or outside of the init.d script? | 21:35 |
| benc2 | iceroot_: because my script runs fine in the shell but not in the init.d script | 21:35 |
| lianimator | Hi, I compiled rhythmbox from source (with the fix to notify bug) but I don't have the notify anymore. | 21:35 |
| iceroot_ | benc2: and what is the error of the script? | 21:35 |
| infidel2 | mcurran ? | 21:35 |
| benc2 | iceroot_: I see examples like 'export HOME=/root' in other scripts and I don't understand what that means | 21:36 |
| mcurran | what's a command to compile an app from source | 21:36 |
| mcurran | make, make install, etc.. | 21:36 |
| zaida | .it | 21:36 |
| lianimator | mcurran: ./configure | 21:36 |
| benc2 | iceroot_: I've tried using upstart job and I don't get any error | 21:36 |
| benc2 | iceroot_: when I check the status I get working/stopped | 21:36 |
| mcurran | can you go any simpler than that though | 21:36 |
| guntbert | benc2: I wouldn't assume there is $HOME even set in an init script | 21:36 |
| iceroot_ | benc2: export HOME=~/ | 21:36 |
| Jamed | mcurran: generally you should read INSTALL or README or something like that | 21:36 |
| benc2 | iceroot_: can you explaine what it does? | 21:37 |
| Jamed | mcurran: its not always make make install ... | 21:37 |
| songer | lostintime_46, but why when I intall ubuntu 9.04 I can see my 2 hdd and select In which one i want to install my ubuntu, and when i install ubuntu 9.10 just I can install in 1 hdd because the other one it dosn't show me | 21:37 |
| iceroot_ | benc2: its exporting the var HOME with the path of the current home | 21:37 |
| epinky | benc2: open a terminal and type "echo $HOME" then figure out to fit your needs | 21:37 |
| benc2 | guntbert: do I need to set it? | 21:37 |
| mcurran | yes, but is there a way to do it like CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=2 fakeroot debian/rules ... etc. | 21:37 |
| iceroot_ | benc2: ~/ is the command /alias for the home-directory of the current user | 21:37 |
| benc2 | iceroot_: thanks, I'll try that | 21:38 |
| iceroot_ | benc2: if you type cd ~/ in the shell you will go into your home-directory | 21:38 |
| benc2 | epinky: thanks | 21:38 |
| benc2 | iceroot_: aren't the init.d/upstart scripts run as root or sometime a user without home? | 21:38 |
| veedeejay | italiani? | 21:39 |

| iceroot_ | benc2: hm, normally as root | 21:39 |
| veedeejay | ok grazie | 21:39 |
| mcurran | I was wondering if there was a way to just compile and install from source, when there is no make or configure files | 21:40 |
| iceroot_ | mcurran: depeding on the source of course | 21:40 |
| iceroot_ | mcurran: look at readme or install | 21:40 |
| gabriel_ | you could use the install command | 21:40 |
| benc2 | guntbert which one is clear? | 21:41 |
| mcurran | So you can't just compile source like you can the linux kernel then... | 21:41 |
| epinky | mcurran: you can use "gcc" and "install" commands | 21:41 |
| iceroot_ | mcurran: again, look at the readme | 21:42 |
| guntbert | benc2: sorry, I never fiddled much with init scripts - so that was only a sideline remark from me (about $HOME) | 21:43 |
| Mike_lifeguard | Hi, how can I stop pam_motd in libpam-modules from changing my /etc/motd? | 21:43 |
| mcurran | iceroot, I'm talking hypothetically, that's why i'm not interested in the developers notes, install file, etc. I was thinking maybe just using build-essential. | 21:43 |
| lukasz_ | zxc | 21:43 |
| iceroot_ | mcurran: depending on the source | 21:43 |
| benc2 | guntbert: I still don't understand what you mean | 21:43 |
| iceroot_ | mcurran: some needs to be configured | 21:43 |
| iceroot_ | mcurran: some can run with gcc and so on | 21:43 |
| mcurran | thanks guys, this install package looks pretty useful. | 21:44 |
| guntbert | benc2: please don't bother - I'm a bit too tired to have a longer line of thinking - sorry to distract you | 21:45 |
| benc2 | iceroot_: I think your suggestion works. When I type 'env - erl' gives an error but 'env - HOME="/home/user" erl' works | 21:46 |
| benc2 | iceroot_: I still need to understand what 'env -' does and why do I need this HOME variable. | 21:46 |
| benc2 | iceroot_: thanks | 21:46 |

| erUSUL | broken-iPod: "sudo aptitude install flashplugin-nonfree" allways worked for me | 21:54 |
| Kentoro | .deb for ubuntu | 21:54 |
| Will123456 | Kentoro: have you tried using the package manager? | 21:54 |
| Kentoro | i have but i dont understand it much | 21:55 |
| Kentoro | the software center? | 21:55 |
| broken-iPod | erUSUL: Couldn't find any package whose name or description matched "flashplugin-nonfree" | 21:55 |
| Will123456 | Kentoro: yeah, that's one way to do it | 21:55 |
| Kentoro | alright | 21:55 |
| cbeske | sampo: what are the permissions on the xsetup file? | 21:55 |
| Kentoro | can you tell me a plugin to get that will let me play flash | 21:55 |
| Will123456 | Kentoro: if it's not on there, try synaptic | 21:55 |
| Kentoro | thats another thing they said try | 21:55 |
| erUSUL | !info flashplugin-nonfree | broken-iPod | 21:55 |
| Kentoro | I dont know what the f synaptic is | 21:55 |
| Will123456 | Kentoro: you should look for what broken-IPod and erUSUL are talking about, they have the same problem | 21:55 |
| ubottu | broken-iPod: flashplugin-nonfree (source: flashplugin-nonfree): Adobe Flash Player plugin installer (transitional package). In component multiverse, is optional. Version 10.0.32.18ubuntu1 (karmic), package size 1 kB, installed size 40 kB (Only available for i386 amd64 lpia) | 21:55 |
| Will123456 | Kentoro: synaptic is a GUI package manager for ubuntu. think of it like a slightly more powerful software centre, if you will | 21:56 |
| erUSUL | broken-iPod: maybe you do not have multiverse enabled ? Go to System>Admin>Software sources | 21:56 |
| Kentoro | ok will | 21:56 |
| Kentoro | where do i get that at | 21:56 |
| erUSUL | broken-iPod: in the first tab tick the multiverse repo | 21:56 |
| Will123456 | Kentoro: follow erUSUL's advice too- you might need to enable the multiverse | 21:56 |
| broken-iPod | Why is it such a difficult task? Why can't I just go to Adobe's website and download it, then the installer actually works? Or why can't Firefox do it on its own? | 21:57 |
| wrapster | weird things happening on ubuntu9.04 | 21:57 |
| Kentoro | mine is multiverse set | 21:57 |
| Billiard | broken-iPod: the package manager is extremely easy much easier than going to adobes website, you can install flash player with one command | 21:57 |
| Will123456 | Billiard is right, a centralised list is much better than having to manually locate all your software | 21:57 |

| Kentoro | which package do i look fore to get flash player | 21:58 |
| Will123456 | Kentoro: look for flashplugin-nonfree | 21:58 |
| Billiard | wrapster: install flashplugin-nonfree ? | 21:59 |
| coachz | is the correct flash player to install for my 9.10 " .deb for Ubuntu 8.04+" | 21:59 |
| Billiard | wrapster: can you hear other sounds? | 21:59 |
| Will123456 | Jesus who is telling all these people to go to the adobe website | 21:59 |
| erUSUL | broken-iPod: you pay nothing for the OS you have to jump some hoops; the package to read comercial DVD can not even bee in multiverse it has to be in its own repo outside the USA | 21:59 |
| Will123456 | coachz: look for flashplugin-nonfree in synaptic | 21:59 |
| coachz | in the software center ? | 21:59 |
| Billiard | Will123456: its what you have to do in windows, its what people are used to | 21:59 |
| erUSUL | broken-iPod: which is BTW the country that makes this things so sh**ty | 21:59 |
| cyphase | does anyone know of a good svg viewer, particularly for larger svg files? | 21:59 |
| Kentoro | the adobe site screws everything up | 21:59 |
| Kentoro | even the package installer | 22:00 |
| Kentoro | gets bugged | 22:00 |
| Kentoro | but i think I may have it now | 22:00 |
| wrapster | Billiard: yeah actually I can but its very werid..I use skype a lot just yday i was able to hear everything clearly. but when ever there is a sound made all i can hear are some screeching noise from my headphones. | 22:00 |
| erUSUL | broken-iPod: understand now ? | 22:00 |
| Will123456 | coachz: if you can find it in the software centre then go for it- if not, go for synaptic. or the command line packager | 22:00 |
| broken-iPod | Apparently I had to update something. | 22:00 |
| coachz | oh, ok, thanks | 22:00 |
| wrapster | Billiard: yeah i've installed | 22:00 |
| erUSUL | broken-iPod: go ahead | 22:00 |
| Will123456 | Kentoro: let us know if it works for you :) | 22:00 |
| broken-iPod | Now it works in Ubuntu Software Center | 22:00 |
| broken-iPod | But it didn't before, which makes no sense. | 22:01 |
| Will123456 | Billiard: the BBC recently did a review of karmic and lambasted it for "not including flash by default"... right... | 22:01 |
| broken-iPod | Oh well, I got it. Bye. | 22:01 |
| sebsebseb | Will123456: centre yep that's the correct spelling :) | 22:01 |
| wrapster | I've just killed pulseaudio also hoping that it will fix the issue but no.... any idea how i can trouble shoot it. | 22:01 |
| erUSUL | broken-iPod: after enabling multiverse install the ubuntu-restricted-extras package that package instals flash java mp3 support and a bunch of other video codecs and stuff | 22:01 |

| Will123456 | coachz: by smoother, do you mean crisper? like how windows's is? | 22:06 |

| faryshta | Someone knows how it this bug going? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/467431 | 22:07 |
| branstrom | atanok: yup | 22:08 |
| wrapster | mysteriously pulseaudio is re-enabled. | 22:08 |
| atanok | faryshta, check the BIOS, see if there's anything disabling 64bit mode | 22:08 |
| atanok | I'm having a bit of trouble with grub2 | 22:08 |
| branstrom | I also get "waiting for soundsystem" dialog when trying to get into the sound system dialog | 22:09 |
| wrapster | I dont know how its happening... how important is the pulseaudio pkg.. its causing terrible headaches to me.. Can i remove it ? and yet expect audio to work? | 22:09 |
| faryshta | atanok, I am using 64 bits mode right now. | 22:09 |
| kultrva | i just downloaded and installed 'castle combat' without any problems, but now it's not showing up in my games list and i can't find it anywhere. any ideas? | 22:09 |
| atanok | can't chainload a Windows partition on a different HDD | 22:09 |
| guntbert | kultrva: how did you install it? | 22:09 |
| atanok | faryshta, can you boot a 32 bit disc normally? | 22:09 |
| branstrom | I think I'll start a thread on the forums instead. | 22:09 |
| faryshta | kultrva, did you update the game? | 22:09 |
| faryshta | atanok, yes. | 22:09 |
| kultrva | via packages.ubuntu.com. got the .deb file | 22:10 |
| faryshta | kultrva, so you had it installed and updated? | 22:11 |
| kultrva | installed, yes. not sure about updated. is that done through the terminal? | 22:11 |
| atanok | faryshta, I'd try disabling one of the cores, if there is such an option in the BIOS | 22:11 |
| faryshta | atanok, is a kernel bug I just want to know how is that bug going. | 22:11 |
| faryshta | kultrva, then, when you started noticing your saves gone? | 22:12 |
| atanok | oki | 22:12 |
| Will123456 | (do you guys know when crunchbang will be updated to the ubuntu 9.10 base?) | 22:13 |
| kultrva | i haven't managed to play it. it says it's installed in the terminal but isn't showing up in the software center | 22:13 |
| atanok | back to my problem, grub2 boots a Windows XP partition just fine in hd0, but a partition on hd1 fails | 22:13 |

| faryshta | benji_, just in case you have more than 2 gb of ram+graphic card memory. | 22:28 |
| Will123456 | benji- 64 bits can take advantage of more memory, it's also better at counting in general (it can count much higher!) - this isn't just for RAM, it's for normal things too, like encryption | 22:28 |

| Will123456 | faryshta: i must have missed it, could you resent? | 22:30 |
| Will123456 | benji_: if you use 32 bit linux, you'll either only be able to use approx. 3 gigs of RAM (allowing for GPU address space + BIOS), or you'll have to do some pointless fiddling about to enable more. just go with 64 bit, it's honestly just the better option :P | 22:30 |

| Will123456 | bdelin88: linux uses a "dumb" (read: better) approach to swap/paging, which means it only starts to use a swap file when it absolutely has to - windows likes to page RAM out prematurely. you probably don't need a swap file on linux if you're running 2, 3, 4 gigs of RAM (unless you're using KDE ;)), but since linux only swaps out RAM when it HAS to, you probably won't see any performance improvements by removing your swap | 22:41 |

| infidel2 | i'm trying to install the latest deb package for anki but it keeps telling me that it depends on python-sip4-dev and few other packages that arent installed. but running 'sudo apt-get -f install' just says it wants to install a couple other packages but remove anki and to run apt-get autoremove and i do that and it just goes in a circle. what can i do? | 22:54 |
| mcurran | did you try apt-get install -f | 22:55 |
| infidel2 | yes i just said i did :p | 22:55 |
| mcurran | restartx and try again | 22:55 |
| arleslie | BLUE_BALLS, try kino, it seems to have a capture option, I don't know if it does webcams though. | 22:55 |
| infidel2 | mcurran what does it have to do with x? | 22:56 |
| mcurran | nothing, I'm just sick of listening to you, need a short break | 22:56 |
| arleslie | ouch | 22:56 |
| duffydack | Can anyone help me with a Toshiba G450 mobile device not detecting properly? Its only detecting as usb drive | 22:56 |
| infidel2 | that was lame | 22:57 |
| BLUE_BALLS | arleslie, thanks | 22:57 |
| BLUE_BALLS | i was just not wanting to have to buy a camcorder thats all. my laptop has a webcam/mic built in | 22:57 |
| arleslie | duffydack, have you tried removing it from the system and putting it in before ubuntu boots? | 22:57 |
| mcurran | I don't know, thought maybe a restart would help refresh the package list, maybe apt-get update, then apt-get install -f again... | 22:57 |
| MikeChelen | hi, even after trying to remove it, one bluetooth device keeps showing up in the list, anyone know what is happening? | 22:58 |
| mcurran | I had a broken package once and I just used nautilus, searched for all instances of the package and then deleted them all... | 22:59 |
| BLUE_BALLS | is there a way to use my webcam and voice mic as a camcorder? any software that does that? | 22:59 |
| arleslie | BLUE_BALLS, PiTiV allows you to capture from your webcame | 22:59 |
| duffydack | arleslie, I have the ID of the modem, its different to whats detected | 23:00 |
| mcurran | BLUE_BALLS: wouldn't that be the same as a webcam video with audio? | 23:00 |
| duffydack | arleslie, same thing.. network manager does no see it | 23:00 |
| BLUE_BALLS | arleslie, does it capture audio? | 23:00 |
| MikeChelen | BLUE_BALLS: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam i like to use camorama, mplayer/mencoder, or vlc | 23:00 |
| arleslie | BLUE_BALLS, you can also use "Sound Recorder" to get the sound from your mic | 23:00 |

| arleslie | LetsGo67, try holding down the power button | 23:07 |
| syn-ack | LetsGo67: have you tried to actually force it on via calling to /proc/acpi/? | 23:07 |
| LetsGo67 | Standby doesn't fix it! | 23:07 |
| mcurran | Yeah, you could add acpi=force to the boot line also | 23:07 |

| cobra_ | siemka | 23:09 |
| syn-ack | Otherwise, it's a waste of time | 23:09 |

| Kent- | Windows wouldn't work for obvious reasons but Ubuntu did.. however, I can't mount the ntfs partition, since obviousy it didn't shut down properly | 23:13 |
| LetsGo67 | It turned off the 1st boot. The 2nd boot, fan is on. | 23:13 |

| syn-ack | LetsGo67: which you would do by entering the GRUB commandline and appending linux=noacpi | 23:14 |

| arleslie | Kent-, force it, -F | 23:15 |
| syn-ack | LetsGo67: Because that will keep the kernel from interacting with ACPI and it *SHOULD* control it on it's own then | 23:15 |
| Kent- | arleslie, ah okay thanks. Any dangers with that? | 23:15 |
| syn-ack | Kent-: Don't force an unclean mount with NTFS | 23:15 |
| arleslie | Kent-, not that I know of, I haven't had any issues with it. | 23:15 |
| LetsGo67 | syn-ack: perhaps. But I'm not familiar with all that. | 23:15 |
| Kent- | syn-ack, okay why not? | 23:15 |
| syn-ack | Kent-: try to mount it in windows first so windows can clean the part and sync the journal | 23:16 |
| === nozes is now known as nozes_sobrenatur | ||
| syn-ack | otherwise the partition can corrupt | 23:16 |
| Kent- | syn, I can't. windows won't work anymore. I have to get a new drive tomorrow and reinstall windows | 23:16 |

| arleslie | syn-ack, he said that it won't mount due to it wasn't shut down properly | 23:16 |
| syn-ack | Kent-: Do what you must then but don't be surprised if you can't mount it | 23:17 |
| mcurran | just reformat and rewrite mbr and you'll be all set | 23:17 |

| syn-ack | LetsGo67: Read this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions | 23:18 |
| mcurran | arleslie you just need to run the force mount command | 23:18 |
| progre55 | erUSUL: I have the zip and unzip commands.. any more missing?) | 23:18 |
| arleslie | mcurran, ubuntu wouldn't even see it | 23:18 |
| syn-ack | LetsGo67: I had to look the page up, thats why I told you to wait | 23:18 |
| mcurran | nautilus doesn't see it? | 23:18 |

| arleslie | mcurran, what about the click of death, or bad sectors? | 23:20 |
| arleslie | SeaPhor, what does xchat have to do with partitions? | 23:21 |
| mcurran | usually I use a windows 98 disc and use fdisk to fix both mbr and partitions and i'm good to go, even if I messed up the boot flags with gparted | 23:21 |
| jongbergs | hi, im using karmic, i've encountered lately sudden shutdown on my laptop twice on the same day, how would i determine the cause the problem? what logs should i consult? | 23:21 |
| Kent- | Hmm, wait, if I used my windows disc and ran chkdsk would that fix the mounting problem without needing to boot into windows? | 23:21 |
| SeaPhor | arleslie, just a delta of the issue | 23:21 |
| syn-ack | Kent-: Sure. | 23:22 |
| arleslie | SeaPhor, why not just run sudo apt-get install xchat ? | 23:22 |
| mcurran | how are you going to run chkdsk without booting windows | 23:22 |
| Kent- | syn-ack, and I'll avoid corruption? | 23:22 |

| alphonse85 | lol | 23:35 |
| alphonse85 | ok | 23:35 |
| Unislash | i've never had a problem, but for some reason i just can't connect to our new network | 23:35 |
| infidel2 | i'm trying to install the latest deb package for anki but it keeps telling me that it depends on python-sip4-dev and few other packages that arent installed. but running 'sudo apt-get -f install' just says it wants to install a couple other packages but remove anki and to run apt-get autoremove and i do that and it just goes in a circle. what can i do? | 23:35 |
| jongbergs | Unislash: are you using karmic now? | 23:36 |
| trism | progre55: see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mc/+bug/397505 for a workaround, it appears to be a bug in karmic | 23:36 |
| progre55 | trism, oh, thanks man, appreciate | 23:36 |
| jongbergs | dibs: try sudo apt-get install -f | 23:36 |
| Unislash | yes and no; i'm running two computers (one with karmic, the other with jaunty) neither works, and both display the same behavior | 23:36 |
| Unislash | it just fails authentication | 23:36 |
| duffydack | jongbergs, its detecting as a pendrive, which it is also | 23:37 |

| erUSUL | infidel2: sudo aptitude update | 23:37 |
| sharok | can someone give me the ubuntu 9.10 GRUB config file??? i killed mine | 23:37 |
| Unislash | jongbergs: if i use the default wireless connection application it just keeps asking me for the password (and only gives me the choice of WPA and WPA2 personal) | 23:38 |
| riegersn | why has this intel graphics issue with jaunty and karmic gone on so long? is there any solution currently? can i use karmic but roll back to a driver from pre jaunty? this is a production laptop and of no use to me. | 23:38 |
| jongbergs | dibs: if didn't work, then try sudo apt-get update | 23:38 |
| dksoba | Flannel, interesting | 23:38 |
| jongbergs | Unislash: then it might be that the network you're connecting is encrypted by WPA or WPA2, isn't it? | 23:39 |
| infidel2 | i'm trying sudo apt-get -f install and all it does is say 'following packages were auto installed and are no longer required .... use apt-get autoremove to remove them. the following packages will be REMOVED: anki' and anki is what i'm tryin to install! | 23:39 |

| randomusr | trism, and that will get cookies and all? | 23:41 |

| trism | randomusr: you can select what you want to delete | 23:42 |
| mcurran | Oh, Unislash: The WEP or password is wrong then | 23:42 |
| jongbergs | Unislash: right now using wicd, you can now have a working internect connection? | 23:42 |
| randomusr | trism, is there a way to skip form data? | 23:42 |
| manofsky | its possible to use firefox (command line ) to download a file ? | 23:42 |
| trism | randomusr: yes, form and search history | 23:42 |
| mcurran | Also try to select open system, or try the other one | 23:42 |
| Unislash | mcurran: well it certainly isn't the password, and it gives me no choice other than that | 23:42 |
| dibs | is freecontrib.org a bad repository?? | 23:42 |
| erUSUL | manofsky: use wget | 23:43 |
| Unislash | jongbergs: no, i'm using a wired connection | 23:43 |
| manofsky | erUSUL: its not possible with wget | 23:43 |
| randomusr | trism: how/where do I find that? | 23:43 |
| erUSUL | manofsky: becouse ...? | 23:43 |
| Unislash | jongbergs: well, i guess technically yes, but not wireless ;) | 23:43 |
| trism | randomusr: it is all on the Tools/Clear Recent History if you click the details arrow | 23:43 |
| mcurran | Unislash: I thought you meant it asks you for the keyring password, that's why I said put in nothing. It sounds like either the password you're trying is wrong or your selecting the wrong encryption type | 23:44 |
| rww | dibs: I've never heard of it, so likely yes. In general, unofficial repositories aren't supported here. All of the information I can find on it appears to be in French, which doesn't really help with evaluating it :P | 23:44 |
| randomusr | trism: I have details text without the arrow? | 23:44 |
| jongbergs | Unislash: you said earlier that the network you're connecting to is protected, definitely the gnome-network manager that comes with ubuntu asks for the passphrase to be able to connect | 23:44 |
| Unislash | mcurran: ah, nope, not the keyring; i could be selecting the wrong encryption type, but both wicd *and* the default connection manager gives me no other choice but WPA and WPA2 personal | 23:44 |
| trism | randomusr: should be a little button to the left of the Details | 23:44 |

| manofsky | erUSUL: because try : http://freeonlinegames.com/games/box10-atv-2/box10-atv-2.swf | 23:45 |
| mcurran | nm-applet should give you WEP and others | 23:45 |
| manofsky | erUSUL: :) | 23:45 |
| Unislash | jongbergs: i give it to the network manager, it goes and tries it for a minute, then goes and asks me again after it (presumably) fails | 23:45 |
| randomusr | trism: nope not there | 23:46 |
