| jongbergs | SeaPhor: how it works out now? | 00:01 |
| lstarnes | skande: from where? | 00:01 |
| h725 | hi, where can I find the ubuntu equivalent to http://goodbye-microsoft.com? (i.e., an ubuntu win32-loader) | 00:01 |
| Shreesh-Taskar | ah, ha - here is the paste: http://paste.ubuntu.com/323898/plain/ | 00:01 |
| SeaPhor | Flannel: heres what i see after choosing language, kbd, time zone, etc. the partitioner. http://imagebin.ca/view/n1Syni.html | 00:01 |
| skande | no | 00:01 |
| SeaPhor | jongbergs: ^^ | 00:01 |
| infidel2 | i need the qt4.4 repo for deb packages in karmic. anyone know what it is? For hardy it was deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-members-kde4/ubuntu hardy main | 00:02 |
| mcurran | Here is the info on mounting NTFS and FAT32: NTFS = "mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/windisk -o force FAT32 = "mount -t vfat -o umask=000 /dev/sda1 /media/disk" (of course change with your real drive names) | 00:02 |
| coachz | which java runtime do i need to installf or this please ? http://jreepad.sourceforge.net/jar/ | 00:02 |
| lstarnes | rance94: I don't know how to do that, but someone else here might | 00:02 |
| coachz | synaptic appears to have a couple of choices | 00:02 |
| trism | njbartlett: yeah, scim doesn't seem to work in karmic, try configuring the key bindings for switching to hiragana/katakana/latin in the anthy properties, if you don't see the language bar when you switch to anthy mode you can access them directly here /usr/lib/ibus-anthy/ibus-setup-anthy | 00:02 |
| jongbergs | SeaPhor: what's the output of sudo fdisk -l | 00:03 |
| Flannel | SeaPhor: Try closing the installer and trying to load up gparted (or just sudo fdisk -l) | 00:03 |
| skande | lstarnes: so how ?? | 00:03 |
| trism | njbartlett: when I first installed ibus in karmic, the language bar wasn't showing up, but for some reason after purging and reinstalling all the ibus packages the language bar appeared | 00:03 |
| Guest13587 | returned "can't read superblock" | 00:03 |
| SeaPhor | ok 1 sec Flannel and jongbergs | 00:03 |
| lstarnes | skande: from where are you banned? | 00:03 |
| skande | #ubuntu-fr | 00:04 |
| neon_ | i need some help, i have an usb tv tuner it works as far as getting all channels picture anyway, but i do not get any sound if i try using it with cable, if i use OTA antenna it works fine, sound and picture, any suggestions thx | 00:04 |
| mcurran | I'm banned from #linuxmint-chat and their others | 00:04 |
| njbartlett | trism: Thanks. With ibus should I see a separate language bar, or just the keyboard+world icon in the menubar? | 00:04 |
| mcurran | I was going to try tor to override it | 00:04 |
| lstarnes | skande: please go to #ubuntu-ops if you want to ask about your ban | 00:04 |
| Guest13587 | mcurran, how would you override a ban? | 00:04 |
| skande | ok thanks | 00:04 |
| mcurran | I was thinking by masking my ip address somehow | 00:05 |
| Guest13587 | oh, makes sence | 00:05 |
| lstarnes | mcurran: have you tried talking to the op(s) that banned you? | 00:05 |
| mcurran | yeah, he's completely unreasonable, hence the reason I got kicked also | 00:06 |
| Guest13587 | anyone can help mount -o force a vfat partiton, that returns "can't read superblock" from "mount -t vfat -o umaks=000 /dev/sdf3 /meida/pics" | 00:06 |
| lstarnes | mcurran: have you tried another op? | 00:06 |

| lstarnes | Guest13587: are you sure that /dev/sdf3 is the correct device? | 00:06 |
| mcurran | well in my experience, nautilus will show the drive regardless of that error message or not after the force command | 00:06 |
| neon_ | try tor to mask your ip, there are some specifics to make it work with irc google it | 00:06 |
| SeaPhor | Flannel: jongbergs fdisk -l did nothing, here is what gparted sees... http://imagebin.ca/view/Bx3G7J.html | 00:06 |
| Billiard | Guest13587: change your name to something unique | 00:07 |
| h725 | hi, where can I find the ubuntu equivalent to http://goodbye-microsoft.com? (i.e., an ubuntu win32-loader) | 00:07 |
| mcurran | Yeah I got tor, but haven't continued with that project yet | 00:07 |
| mcurran | I like it here anyways | 00:07 |
| math_ | hi everybody | 00:07 |
| MenZa | wubi is included on the livecd, h725 | 00:07 |
| === Guest13587 is now known as forcemount | ||
| trism | njbartlett: yeah there should be a language bar too if you enabled it in the ibus properties, if it doesn't show up I would try purging all the packages that start with ibus and then reinstalling them, that worked for me | 00:07 |
| lstarnes | h725: there isn't anything web-based like that, but there is wubi | 00:07 |
| h725 | MenZa: wubi does not install to a real parition | 00:07 |

| calwig | Help with Flash Plugin 1.Using Ub8.04 2.Plugin freezes sometimes when loading a page containing a flash video, freezes for 10 to 20 seconds, unfreezes and plays (sometimes) 3. What to do thanks! | 00:08 |
| MenZa | h725: Neither does this, if it's a .exe file. | 00:08 |
| h725 | but to a file on a windows partition... I don't want that | 00:08 |
| coachz | for my java runtime do i use the OpenJDK Java 6 Runtime in the sofware center ? | 00:08 |
| calwig | It didnt do this before (about 2 days ago it was fine) | 00:08 |
| math_ | excuse me men/ladies, does someone alredy set up a tftp server ? | 00:08 |
| h725 | MenZa: read it/try it but thanks for trying to help | 00:08 |
| alphonse85 | how can i install ubuntu on my gameboy? | 00:08 |
| MenZa | I'll have a look, h725 :) | 00:08 |
| Billiard | calwig: from where did you install flash | 00:08 |
| mcurran | calwig, did you uninstall flash and install the nonfree version through synaptic, that usually fixes things | 00:08 |
| Flannel | h725: you want to install it inside of windows? or alongside windows? or what exactly do you mean by a win32 loader? | 00:08 |
| neon_ | i need some help, i have an usb tv tuner it works as far as getting all channels picture anyway, but i do not get any sound if i try using it with cable, if i use OTA antenna it works fine, sound and picture, any suggestions thx, i'm using a realtek on board ALC889a | 00:08 |
| forcemount | I am sure /dev/sdf3 is correct, I have 2 other partitons mounted from /dev/sdf1 and /dev/sdf2 | 00:08 |
| bostikforever | coachz: I think so | 00:08 |
| coachz | thx | 00:08 |
| h725 | it's called win32-loader and it modifies the windows boot-loader-menu to give you the option to load the installer on next reboot | 00:09 |
| h725 | which is a full debian installer | 00:09 |
| branstrom_ | My screen goes blank after I flip down the lid on my Asus laptop. | 00:09 |
| branstrom_ | I mean, after I wake it up again... | 00:09 |
| h725 | win32-loader is the name of the package that prepares the windows system to boot the debian installer on next reboot | 00:09 |
| Billiard | forcemount: did you try without specifing the fstype? | 00:09 |
| calwig | Billiard, Likely I installed it from the popup of Firefox about 3 months ago (its been working fine since then up until 2 days ago) | 00:09 |
| math_ | ? | 00:09 |
| Flannel | h725: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromWindows Will get you there, I don't know of a canned version like that though. | 00:09 |
| mcurran | branstrom_ there's special modules for many asus notebooks, look online for berlios and others | 00:10 |
| Billiard | calwig: try installing flashplugin-nonfree from the package manager | 00:10 |
| forcemount | Billard, "mount: you must specify the filesystem type" | 00:10 |
| calwig | mcurran, yes I uninstalled thru synaptic (complete removal) then reinstalled. Flash works now, but when it loads it freezes the browser for a few seconds, that didnt happen before, it just loaded immediately the video | 00:10 |
| calwig | Billiard, ok | 00:10 |
| branstrom_ | mcurran: "look online for berlios and others"? What's berlios? | 00:10 |
| branstrom_ | It's a fresh install. Doesn't it fetch that automatically? | 00:11 |
| Billiard | forcemount: sudo fdisk -l tells you it is a fat32 partition? | 00:11 |
| h725 | Flannel: thx for the link... the Windows NT/2000/XP (using Grub) method looks promissing | 00:11 |
| h725 | too bad there is no 'canned' version as you call it | 00:11 |
| njbartlett | trism: Great, will try that thanks | 00:12 |
| SeaPhor | Flannel: nothing? | 00:12 |
| forcemount | it says "/dev/sdf3 30693 38913 66035182+ c W95 FAT32 (LBA) | 00:12 |
| mcurran | well I had an asus g1sn and I used their asusg50oled module - but there are other drivers and acpi modules - I think their called asus-acpi or asus-notebook, there are also some in the kernel by default, I'd check to make sure there getting loaded (/etc/modules, blacklist for modprobe, etc.) | 00:12 |
| Flannel | SeaPhor: No, try a 9.04 CD, see if it has the same problem (we're trying to figure out if its 9.10's liveCD or your new mobo) | 00:12 |
| NDCGarrett | anyone here had luck getting karmic to run under Xen using a debootstrapped image? or just in general for that matter | 00:12 |
| bostikforever | I have a problem with my USB modem on Ubuntu karmic, anyone got an idea, please? | 00:13 |
| bostikforever | :-) | 00:13 |
| SeaPhor | Flannel: ty, 904 is current and that is a good delta,,, | 00:13 |
| Flannel | SeaPhor: Right, but try the 9.04 liveCD | 00:13 |
| country0129 | Anyone familiar with USB wired ADSL router/modem setup in 9.10? | 00:14 |
| SeaPhor | Flannel: right,, unfortunately i am live so i'll have to sign out and reboot | 00:14 |
| calwig | Billiard, is the flashplugin-nonfree the only one that needs to be installed in order for flash videos to load ? | 00:14 |
| Flannel | SeaPhor: The liveCD isn't always a good indicator of the install itself. Sometimes live stuff goes all wonky and regular installs work just fine, etc. | 00:14 |
| Unislash | jongberg: no dice | 00:14 |
| forcemount | I just need to read from it, is there ANY way to do that? | 00:15 |
| Unislash | jongberg: (how do i get my settings back? :P) | 00:15 |
| unapiedra | anyone know which package is needed for OpenGL? (I am trying to compile something but cmake tells me that OPENGL is NOT FOUND) | 00:15 |
| SeaPhor | Flannel: i'll join on other box as Anacranom if you have important msg for me | 00:15 |
| Billiard | calwig: should be | 00:15 |
| Unislash | mcurran: turns out i've been using nm-applet (it's the default network manager) | 00:16 |
| branstrom_ | Now I can't even get a WIRED connection going, with a fresh install. What the heck is going on... | 00:16 |
| SeaPhor | rebooting | 00:16 |
| Billiard | forcemount: are you able to mount this partition in another OS, like windows, you know the partition is formatted fat32? | 00:16 |
| Unislash | mcurran: it does indeed let me make new profiles with specific security preferences, but when i try to connect using them it just makes a new profile and deems it a WPA & WPA2 personal security) | 00:16 |
| xae8koo | SHould I eat candy? WOuld it affect my ubuntu anyhow? | 00:16 |
| * forcemount is now known as acovrig | 00:17 | |
| country0129 | Anyone familiar with USB wired ADSL router/modem setup in 9.10? I'd surely love to have a networking guru walk me through configuring it. | 00:17 |
| forcemount | Billard, no | 00:17 |
| calwig | Billiard, ok thanks | 00:17 |
| Billiard | calwig: np, so its all working now? | 00:17 |
| calwig | Does anyone know if there is a flash plugin for Ubuntu9.04ppc(Powerbookg4) available? | 00:18 |
| mcurran | branstrom: there is a simple power management gui that lets you select what you want the computer to do when you close the lid - I just don't remember the command to get to it... Hold on I'm looking. | 00:18 |
| VCoolio | unapiedra: is there something like a -dev file for opengl? also try apt-get build-dep something | 00:18 |
| Billiard | country0129: its much easier to just use an ethernet cable if your modem has that | 00:18 |
| syn-ack | calwig: Only the opensource ones | 00:18 |
| calwig | Billiard, I will do it later, the player is working properly, it only freezes once then plays. does it again once its closed and reloaded, Im streaming something live atm | 00:18 |
| country0129 | Thank you, Mr. Billiard, but I don't have a NIC card for firewire. | 00:19 |
| syn-ack | calwig: Flashnonfree is only for Intel (clones) hardware | 00:19 |
| calwig | syn-ack, easy way to install? | 00:19 |
| acovrig | this external uses USB, not firewire, if that means anything | 00:19 |
| Billiard | country0129: your computer doesnt have an ethernet port? | 00:19 |
| mcurran | Unislash: My guess would be that someone setup a WPA encryption key then and it's being detected. You'll need to find out what the key is. | 00:19 |
| syn-ack | calwig: Look for gnash in synaptic | 00:19 |
| kusznir_ | Question: how does ubuntu switch the various libraries for GL stuff between nvidia and "normal"...Is there a way a user can switch to the non-nvidia GL libraries on a case by case base? | 00:19 |
| mcurran | You cannot crack WPA - Well maybe, but good luck with that | 00:19 |
| ViaNocturn85 | hey, wonder if someone can help, its doing my head in now...i have an ath9k and the download is fast but keeps dropping slowly to 0, then up to top speed and slowly to 0...its frustrating | 00:19 |
| calwig | syn-ack, ok | 00:19 |
| cba123 | Can anyone suggest a program to cleanly erase a drive, similar to dban, that doesn't require me to reboot my PC | 00:19 |
| Unislash | mcurran: but i know what the key is... :P | 00:20 |
| Anacranom | Flannel, SeaPhor here, looking for a 904 disk, got 8.04... | 00:20 |
| Flannel | cba123: shred | 00:20 |
| country0129 | It does, Mr. acovrig... I have a westell 327w with both firewire and usb connections...but the ol' Compaq dinosaur doesn't ahve it. | 00:20 |
| Unislash | mcurran: windows xp, windows 7... all my roommates... it it the correct key | 00:20 |
| Flannel | Anacranom: can't hurt to try that one, although 9.04 would be better. | 00:20 |
| cba123 | Flannel, Shred does whole drives? | 00:20 |
| mcurran | Well apparently you're putting it in wrong - make sure 0's are 0's and O's are O's - That kept me out for a while on mine actually | 00:20 |
| Flannel | cba123: Yep, just feed it /dev/sda or whatever | 00:20 |
| Billiard | cba123: shed can do anything | 00:20 |
| acovrig | well, I was saying that because it might have something to do with my mounting problem | 00:21 |
| calwig | syn-ack, in PPc you mean | 00:21 |
| userlevel | cba123: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda or so | 00:21 |
| Unislash | mcurran: hehe, yea, i've had that one time... unfortunately, there is no O's or 0's to get confused with... aepiuwesponda--pretty hard to mess up 20 times | 00:21 |
| xand_ | hello all, my shift-space keyboard shortcut for scrolling back in apps such as evince and firefox is not woking. Can anyone please help me ? (karmic, compiz disabled, us-layout keyboard) | 00:22 |
| Anacranom | Flannel, ok, found the official 9.04, mailed to me from canonical...trying now | 00:22 |
| mcurran | Unislash is there a tab on the bottom that lets you select open system or shared key? Try the other... | 00:22 |
| branstrom_ | Hmm, all it took was a reboot for the wired connection to get alive again. | 00:22 |
| cba123 | Flannel, Any way to get a progress bar? I did "sudo shred /dev/sdl" and nothing | 00:23 |
| mcurran | Your driver could also suck - what chipset are you using for wireless | 00:23 |
| country0129 | Anyone familiar with USB wired ADSL router/modem setup in 9.10? "lsusb" sees the port, the modem, but networking won't put it live. | 00:23 |
| acovrig | is there ANY way to mount this? (read-only would be just fine) | 00:23 |
| Unislash | mcurran: a tab on the bottom.... hmmm | 00:23 |
| Billiard | acovrig: mount what? | 00:23 |
| mcurran | Unislash, yeah the same window where you put in the key | 00:23 |
| jongbergs | cba123: add -v option for verbose output | 00:24 |
| the_masam | WOW, this server looks like a good nerdy one for me! | 00:24 |
| acovrig | a FAT32 partiton from a USB external (from the user forcemount (switched computers)) | 00:24 |
| ViaNocturn85 | Anyone? | 00:24 |
| the_masam | hello all | 00:24 |
| Billiard | acovrig: ah, did you even format it fat32? | 00:24 |
| acovrig | no, read from it | 00:24 |
| jongbergs | !hi | the_masam | 00:24 |
| ubottu | the_masam: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines. Enjoy your stay! | 00:24 |
| Unislash | mcurran: i'm using a... boy, i don't remember the chipset on my main box, but on the other one i do indeed have a pretty old chipset; i'm using b43legacy drivers | 00:24 |
| Billiard | acovrig: what? so it is or isnt formatted? | 00:25 |
| cba123 | ViaNocturn85, It helps if you repeat what you said, so people don't have to scroll up to see what you asked | 00:25 |
| userlevel | i thoke irc is pretty dead | 00:25 |
| userlevel | but this channel is damn full | 00:25 |
| Unislash | mcurran: but the card on my main box (the one i'm testing this all on) is only a year old, so it should (well, hopefully) have a good chipset--it worked in ubuntu right out of the box on other networks | 00:26 |
| acovrig | it is a 320GB external w/ 3 partitons HFS+, and 2 FAT32s, I can mount the HFS+ and 1 of the FAT32, but not the other FAT32, if I try the -o force option, it just says that there is something w/ the superblock thing | 00:26 |
| lotec | what is the name of the linux brower that used the FF engine. Euporia??? is that correct | 00:26 |
| the_masam | well, ubuntu is pretty popular right now | 00:26 |
| Unislash | jongbergs: is there any way to get my gnome config files back? :P | 00:26 |
| leaf-sheep | userlevel: People idle in MSN, AIM, Yahoo!, etc all times. IRC is just one of them and it is more fun having everybody in a channel than one-on-one dialogue. ;o | 00:26 |
| acovrig | can't read superblock - what does it mean? | 00:27 |
| ViaNocturn85 | cba123: I'm sorry, but I have a download speed at top speed which then slowly drops to 0, then back up, then 0...this isn't the case on Windows. I have an ath9k, btw WIFI is my problem here | 00:27 |
| mcurran | acovrig: Means you didn't shut down properly - just force mount | 00:27 |
| Billiard | acovrig: not formatted, or corrupted or wrong fstype | 00:27 |
| joseph_ | mkjgtft | 00:27 |
| mcurran | use the 3g driver to mount with a superblock | 00:27 |
| the_masam | acovrig, you may need to plug the HD into a windows box and reboot, then shut down | 00:27 |
| joseph_ | ghyt | 00:28 |
| acovrig | correct fstype, did shutdown properly | 00:28 |
| lotec | what is the name of the linux brower that used the FF engine. Euporia??? is that correct | 00:28 |
| Unislash | mcurran: i'm not seeing that system/shared key box in this security type. if i go to wep i see it, but it won't let me use wep | 00:28 |
| acovrig | not running windows from it, just a pool of pictures | 00:28 |
| puff | lotec The engine is called gecko, so google on linux and gecko. | 00:28 |
| the_masam | do you have an external connection you could use to hook it into a winbox? | 00:28 |
| mcurran | Unislash: Well I think I'm out of guesses for you. Sorry. | 00:28 |
| kusznir_ | Hi: How can I cause applications to NOT use the nvidia binary driver libraries without fully uninstalling the nvidia driver stuff? (IE what does disabling the nvidia binary driver through the gui tool do with respect to making things work again)? | 00:28 |
| mcurran | what wireless card do you have | 00:28 |
| lotec | puff: the FF engine? | 00:29 |
| selinuxium | hi all having some fun tryiong to get a broadcom 4303 wireless working under Karmic... ran sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter which installed the drivers... I get http://pastebin.ubuntu-uk.org/62201 in dmesg... The driver shows as active in Hardware Drivers but the wlan is shown as disabled... And I can't get it up!!!! Any ideas? | 00:29 |
| country0129 | Anyone familiar with USB wired ADSL router/modem setup in 9.10? (lsusb) 'sees' the port, properly sees it as Westell (327w), but I can't get networking to establish a connection. | 00:29 |
| jongbergs | Unislash: afaik, rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity will reset gnome settings | 00:29 |
| glen_ | Hi all, my desktop has frozen but the rest of the system is working (maybe a better way to describe: I can't click any icons on the desktop). In windows I'd sort this type of problem by relaucnhing explorer.exe. This has happened twice now in ubuntu, is there a quick way to restart whatever I need to get things working again without restarting the whole system? If this is helpful... the last time this happened and I restarted the laptop, I | 00:29 |
| spO | apparently fglrx/ati driver doesn't work with the new karmic kernel + 3000 series cards | 00:29 |
| glen_ | got a message about File Manager not responding and I hit force quit. Thanks | 00:29 |
| Unislash | jongbergs: sure did :P | 00:29 |
| cba123 | ViaNocturn85, How far from the router? How many walls and such? What type of wireless (a, b, g, g mimo, n)? Where are you downloading from? | 00:30 |
| Unislash | jongberg: eh, i'll just put them back... anyhoo, that didn't work... any other guesses? | 00:30 |
| ViaNocturn85 | Oh, even if i'm sat next to it lol...a b/g | 00:30 |
| mcurran | selinuxium - you need to type "sudo modprobe b43" | 00:30 |
| ViaNocturn85 | cba123: The downloads can be from the same country using http...ftp or usenet...its all the same problem | 00:31 |
| cba123 | ViaNocturn85, Are you using Wubi by chance? | 00:31 |
| SeaPhor | ok Flannel i', on live cd 904 from canonical.. | 00:32 |
| ViaNocturn85 | cba123: haha no, I'm a linux geek, Windows is only due to school | 00:32 |
| ViaNocturn85 | cba123: its a dual-boot to be exact | 00:32 |

| calwig | syn-ack, thanks for the suggestion on gnash, sometone is going to try atm | 00:32 |
| selinuxium | mcurran: I have done that now... Still not come up... | 00:32 |
| cba123 | ViaNocturn85, And you aren't downloading to a NTFS/Fat32 drive are you? | 00:32 |
| Flannel | SeaPhor: And do you see partitions and stuff? | 00:33 |
| MatBoy | is there a commanline command that can set my WS into pauze mode ? | 00:33 |
| MatBoy | I can do it from gnome | 00:33 |
| === dvz-_ is now known as dvz- | ||
| ViaNocturn85 | cba123: No | 00:33 |
| osotogari | can i install xfce over gnome? | 00:33 |
| calwig | country0129, if you found yourself in this channel, you are less ignorant ;) | 00:33 |
| MatBoy | osotogari: yes | 00:33 |
| MikeChelen | osotogari: you can install it alongside gnome ;) | 00:33 |
| country0129 | <blush> Thanky, Sir. | 00:33 |
| acovrig | any way to mount a corrupted fat32 partition in ubuntu at least read-only - I am desperate | 00:34 |
| MatBoy | how to pauze my system from the commandline ? | 00:34 |
| osotogari | @ MikeChelen, MatBoy : just by apt-get install xfce ? | 00:34 |
| MatBoy | no suspend, but pauze :) | 00:34 |
| SeaPhor | Flannel, gparted showed them before, just not the installer/partitioner.. | 00:34 |
| cba123 | ViaNocturn85, Not too sure then | 00:34 |
| country0129 | But 2 weeks of no internet on my desktop makes me ignorant due to being too poor to buy a new 'puter with a NIC card. | 00:34 |
| mcurran | selinuxium: Did you do modprobe -r ndiswrapper, because that sometimes interferes - I had to do modprobe b43 and after a few seconds there were wireless networks showing up - If not, just add one manually and add b43 to /etc/modules/ and restart | 00:34 |
| bostikforever | I have a problem with my USB modem on Ubuntu karmic, anyone got an idea, please? | 00:34 |

| MikeChelen | osotogari: probably want to use the xubuntu-desktop package | 00:35 |
| ViaNocturn85 | cba123: It's so odd...its persistant speed through windows, but on Linux it is so unsteady | 00:35 |
| country0129 | Or a similar problem. | 00:35 |
| selinuxium | mcurran: no i did not -r ndiswrapper... Should I do that? | 00:35 |
| MatBoy | mhh, no-one very set their system to pauze from trhe commandline ? | 00:35 |
| naknomik | When desktop effects are enabled and I connect to my ubuntu desktop all I see is just a blank screen. Is there no way to share desktop and also have desktop effects enabled? | 00:35 |
| osotogari | @ MikeChelen : Ill check it out. Thanks | 00:35 |
| mcurran | Yeah, sudo modprobe -r ndiswrapper | 00:35 |
| cba123 | ViaNocturn85, Could be the driver, is it Linux native, or ndiswrapper? | 00:35 |
| VCoolio | s_s|laptop: if it's ubuntu like, probably a folder in ~/.mozilla/firefox/<somecode>.default | 00:35 |
| mcurran | Then, sudo modprobe b43 again | 00:35 |
| s_s|laptop | ah. | 00:35 |
| gdiz | hey, I was wondering if anyone knows how to modify the "places" menu | 00:36 |
| ViaNocturn85 | native, the standard that came with Ubuntu | 00:36 |
| spO | if you have a ati 3000 series card, fglrx (activating it) won't work... it will mess up your X | 00:36 |

| Billiard | acovrig: you could try fsck.vfat, but i would do a backup of the partition first | 00:36 |
| jongbergs | Unislash: try looking at the this gnome editor, launch it by gconf-editor command | 00:37 |
| pennywise1968 | @gdiz - I know you can edit ~/.gtk-bookmarks by hand but I don't know any other way. | 00:37 |
| ctmjr | acovrig: do you know what partition it is? | 00:37 |
| selinuxium | mcurran: Cheers I will go for a reboot then... | 00:37 |
| Flannel | SeaPhor: Ah, really? I imagine the Alternate CD will work just fine to install, and once you've installed, you probably won't have problems. | 00:37 |
| acovrig | yes, /dev/sdf3, I can mount 1 and 2 | 00:37 |

| s_s|laptop | So how do I get the open file dialog to show hidden files? | 00:38 |
| cba123 | ViaNocturn85, I'm out of ideas then | 00:38 |
| mcurran | Yes gconf-editor is what I was looking for, so thanks | 00:38 |
| acovrig | it doesn't have an operating system and was unmounted properly last time, so it isn't that | 00:38 |
| VCoolio | s_s|laptop: ctrl+h | 00:38 |
| pennywise1968 | you can right click anywhere in the list and tick the hidden files box too | 00:39 |
| love | ok, i was wondering because my internet cut out in the middle of download and was wondering if it knew what it was doing when it picked up where it left off | 00:39 |
| mcurran | acovrig: Does it have a filesystem partition or is it unallocated | 00:39 |

| dooglus | packet-sent: if you're moving from one partition to another, it defaults to copy, else it defaults to move | 00:49 |
| dooglus | packet-sent: if you want to force 'move', use 'shift'. if you want to force 'copy', use 'control' | 00:49 |

| shawnboy | I have the sysresccd.iso and want to burn a couple DVDs with of it (bootable and usable) along with some files of my own. | 00:57 |
| Billiard | webBuilder: it should work then as long as its not corrupted | 00:57 |
| country0129 | I think you can do that with WINRar, Shawnboy | 00:57 |
| linuxguy2009 | Amigadude: Its a folder in your home folder. Its hidden starts with a . | 00:57 |
| bazhang | shawnboy, ubuntu customisation kit is one of the easier ones | 00:57 |
| jbbarnes | I just set up a new Ubuntu 8.04 LTS server. It has no command history and no .bashrc I can modify to add alias commands. What can I do to get the terminal back to what I am comfortable with? Thanks. | 00:58 |
| webBuilder | Billiard, did not :( what should I do ? | 00:58 |
| shawnboy | WINRar comment lost me. I'm on ubuntu. | 00:58 |
| VCoolio | randomusr: step 5 is the ozos part, just a pack of apps to make it a proper desktop environment, you don't need it to have e17 running | 00:58 |
| country0129 | Yeah, I'm trying to get rid of Windoze, too. | 00:58 |
| webBuilder | Billiard, is telling me "mount: you must specify the filesystem type | 00:58 |
| webBuilder | " | 00:58 |
| webBuilder | any other suggestion ? | 00:58 |
| Amigadude | linuxguy2009: what's the switch to see . files with ls? | 00:58 |
| ctmjr | randomusr: no idea why it is not in the repos | 00:59 |
| dryg | how do you extract .rar files shawnboy | 00:59 |
| linuxguy2009 | bazhang: ubuntu customization kit is for customizing an ubuntu desktop cd. Im not sure that would work for a sysrescd.iso. | 00:59 |
| randomusr | VCoolio, do I need to un-install Gnome? | 00:59 |
| shawnboy | ubuntu customization kit sounds complex for what I'm wanting. I'm not arguing... it just seems that there would be a simpler way to "slip in" some extra files to an existing ISO before burning it. | 00:59 |
| centHOGG | <handbrake dark gamma | 00:59 |
| Billiard | webBuilder: this filesystem was working when you created the image? | 00:59 |
| mrpoundsign | Amigadude: ls -a | 00:59 |
| draconis | does PulseAudio use hardware mixing if it is available? | 00:59 |
| VCoolio | randomusr: no, just follow the howto and e17 becomes an option in the session menu in your login screen | 00:59 |
| linuxguy2009 | shawnboy: ISO Master is for working with ISOs in that manner. | 01:00 |
| linuxguy2009 | shawnboy: Among others. | 01:00 |

| jbbarnes | Anybody? I just set up a new Ubuntu 8.04 LTS server. It has no command history and no .bashrc I can modify to add alias commands. What can I do to get the terminal back to what I am comfortable with? Thanks. | 01:00 |
| webBuilder | Billiard, I do believe so I gave to someone and they erased when they upgrade the mac portion of the file | 01:00 |
| VCoolio | randomusr: you can also install openbox and kde and what not at the same time, and choose in your login screen | 01:00 |
| shawnboy | ah. ok. never heard of it. I'll look into ISO Master. "among others"... can you name one or two more in case I need to look further? | 01:00 |
| mxktmdude | my video out (composite cable) stops working after the booting process finishes.. any idea how to fix this? | 01:00 |
| VCoolio | randomusr: not that that would be very useful, but still | 01:00 |
| randomusr | VCoolio, what about associating applications with the icons that I and and placing the programs I already have into the appropriate menus? | 01:01 |

| [-jon-]_ | I dont want grub messing with my windows drive | 01:01 |
| ninjah | I'm still trying to figure out how to change run levels. I don't have /etc/event.d.... What's going on here? | 01:01 |

Any idea please ? (sry about my english) | 01:01 |
| jbbarnes | It is a server. Most 8.04's have command history and .bashrc by default. | 01:01 |

| country0129 | Anyone familiar with USB wired ADSL router/modem setup in 9.10? (lsusb) 'sees' the port, properly sees it as Westell (327w), but I can't get networking to establish a connection. | 01:02 |
| linuxguy2009 | shawnboy: look in the software center or synaptic for ISO. | 01:02 |
| VCoolio | randomusr: that's copied from your normal ubuntu settings (the files are in ~/.local/share/applications) and the menu is also available in sort of the same way; no worries there | 01:02 |
| seidos | is it possible to change the backgrounds of application windows in enlightenment e17 without modifying the source code? | 01:02 |

| shawnboy | ok. | 01:02 |

| seidos | VCoolio: example: text editor has a white background with black text. I want it to be black with magenta text. | 01:04 |
| VCoolio | randomusr: it takes time, and development is fast so things can break; it is still alpha; but I've used it for 1,5 years now and it's pretty stable | 01:04 |

| linuxguy2009 | country0129: You may want to contact your service provider for a modem with ethernet connection. That would simplify things greatly Im guessing. | 01:05 |
| jbbarnes | yes, and I can do a su - to switch to root mode and still no command editing, or history. Hitting the up arrow results in ^[[A | 01:05 |

| darthmartin | br4512 list your addons? | 01:05 |
| Billiard | webBuilder: no just tell me if its error or not | 01:05 |

| seidos | VCoolio: whoa, overload. let me try performing your algorithm | 01:06 |
| linuxguy2009 | jbbarnes: Not certain on this but if the history is saved in a settings file in home folder then maybe you might need to check the permissions of that folder/file for read/write privs? | 01:06 |

| SeaPhor | Flannel, dl'ing the alt now,, but why would there be a diff in the live cd's? | 01:09 |
| temporarytao | tsrk, i think the automatic sorting is by cpu usage | 01:09 |
| linuxguy2009 | country0129: Thats a good idea, cool. Maybe you could suspend your service till then. The modem is either supported or not by the kernel. | 01:09 |
| Billiard | webBuilder: sorry, please answer my question | 01:09 |
| amagee | ah never mind, looks like 'sudo apt-get update' fixed it | 01:09 |
| Flannel | SeaPhor: Because it uses an entirely different installation process. | 01:09 |
| temporarytao | tsrk, i recommend you read the manual -> "man top" | 01:09 |
| VCoolio | randomusr: it doesn't; you can compile ecomorph which is a modification of compiz for e17; there is a howto for ecomorph on the same site | 01:09 |

| temporarytao | tsrk, i think that's expected. top doesn't really show "everything" | 01:13 |
| temporarytao | there should be some slight discrepancies | 01:13 |

| puff | pixie_pie: Right, better, qued emacs. | 01:16 |

| SeaPhor | ok Flannel i've verified the alt cd md5, am installing now, will update via Anacranom | 01:21 |
| linuxguy2009 | puff: try another one besides pause maybe unusable. Try something simple first to see if it works. Then change it later. | 01:21 |

| psypher246 | linuxguy2009: and i'm not syaing i'm experiencing very high disc io, i'm saying that if there is any kind of high disk io (not even that high,conky graphs only shows 50% usgae) the entire pc becomers complete unresponsive, most apps grey's out or don't display at all until the process is complete | 01:22 |
| temporarytao | can anyone tell me what is really "optimized" in UNR? (besides the display) | 01:22 |
| BLUE_BALLS | how do i record with cheese so that its not sluggish? could the fact that i'm using a netbook be the problem? | 01:22 |
| hyperstream | Is this called something? -> make http://192.168.0.12/ use a fake domain(only on LAN) http://www.fakedomain.com/ (easyer for me to access it basicly) | 01:22 |
| rfm | Is there something special I need to do to make nonprivileged user mounts work? I have placed the "user" option in the fstab line, and the mount works fine if I use "sudo mount", but mount without sudo gives "mount error: permission denied or not superuser and mount.cifs not installed SUID". mount.cifs is suid, and /etc/fstab is in http://paste.ubuntu.com/323941/ . | 01:22 |
| temporarytao | BLUE_BALLS, check if you haven't set the resolution too high | 01:22 |
| linuxguy2009 | psypher246: Bring up system monitor and sort by CPU usage, anything peeking really high? | 01:22 |
| BLUE_BALLS | temporarytao, its default settings, nothing higher | 01:23 |
| temporarytao | BLUE_BALLS: a lower resolution usually makes cheese much more responsive | 01:23 |
| bostikforever | I have a problem with my USB modem on Ubuntu karmic, anyone got an idea, please? | 01:23 |

| === john is now known as Guest65918 | ||
| psypher246 | linuxguy2009: this is very repeatable especially when unzipping rar's (which i know is a bad OSS program) or copying files to USB stick (ntfs file system) but now that i have ub unbuntuone installed and everyboot have to wait 5-10 ins before i can use my machine, i am getting annoyed | 01:23 |
| temporarytao | BLUE_BALLS, cheese's default setting is usually optimistic. try to set it lower | 01:23 |
| psypher246 | linuxguy2009: no cpu is very low usage | 01:23 |
| draconis | temporarytao, I don't think it means compiler optimizations... no Compositing? I know there is the lpia for some low power intel chips | 01:23 |
| BLUE_BALLS | temporarytao, oh ok thanks i'll try that and maybe brb | 01:23 |
| pixie_pie | Flannel, I want to use something like vi but not vi because vi is a pain in the butt | 01:24 |
| parkerlreed | Force quit? | 01:24 |
| linuxguy2009 | psypher246: So basically just using rars and your flashdrive is slow mainly? | 01:24 |
| pixie_pie | I'm new to using vi so I want something like vi on crack | 01:24 |
| psypher246 | linuxguy2009: no | 01:24 |
| parkerlreed | Anybody? | 01:24 |
| psypher246 | that is just 2 2 things i do every day | 01:24 |
| draconis | well, you either want to learn vi or you don't want to use something like vi at all | 01:24 |
| temporarytao | draconis, so no real benefits added then? (using an msi wind here. fast enough but i want to tweak that. :) ) | 01:24 |
| psypher246 | the 2 i mean | 01:24 |

Any idea please ? | 01:25 |
| draconis | temporarytao, I personally like dwm on netbooks because things take the absolute minimum of screen space | 01:25 |
| Flannel | pixie_pie: Er... You should be able to. Have you installed "vim" itself? the default vim is stripped down and lacks those features. | 01:25 |
| MeXTuX | I have a Biostar P4M900-M4 motherboard and also have a 3.2 GHz Pentium 4 processor. The manual says that the motherboard can handle up to 4 GB of RAM. So my question is can a 32 bit Ubuntu recognize all the 4 GB of RAM ?? | 01:26 |
| pixie_pie | Flannel so you think I should use vim? | 01:26 |
| psypher246 | linuxguy2009: no ubuntuone is busy hashing my files, every single time i start it | 01:26 |
| parkerlreed | Can anybody hear me? | 01:26 |
| Flannel | pixie_pie: With vim you can use arrow keys, yes. | 01:26 |
| Flannel | pixie_pie: Yes | 01:26 |
| centHOGG | MeXTuX: not very well | 01:26 |

| ubottu | parkerlreed: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !attitude | 01:27 |

| psypher246 | linuxguy2009: no i am on jaunty | 01:27 |
| temporarytao | BLUE_BALLS, does it record audio "out of" cheese? you need to check if your mic is working | 01:27 |
| draconis | temporarytao, actually... it's generally expected for you to compile it yourself, as most of the options are hard coded | 01:28 |

| psypher246 | linuxguy2009: and not just this machine, every machine i have ever used | 01:32 |

| linuxguy2009 | psypher246: Test the live cd and see if you have the same lag. if you dont then you have either installed a bad behaving app from the repos, or 3rd party repo, or maybe have introduced a new bug in the updates from my best guess. | 01:34 |
| psypher246 | linuxguy2009: the biggest culprit is firefox, it dies the quickest out of all apps, some still work but FF always greys out | 01:34 |

| df00z | sw raid | 01:40 |
| jercos | Anyway, I'm experiencing a rather odd problem, namely, the screen blinks between blank and whatever the current TTY is very quickly, and constantly. | 01:40 |
| FireCrotch | jercos: Let me guess. You have a problem? | 01:40 |
| ninjah | df00z: no I don't think it will. That's only going to show up cause the system knows about it. | 01:40 |
| arcnewuss | wow grub version upgrade is a big step compared to a firefox upgrade | 01:40 |
| randomusr | arghh2d2, it's for retrieval of track names and tag info | 01:40 |

| centHOGG | df00z: yes, that is a bit easier for jaunty (which I use) but I haven't had a prob with a raid contrller yet | 01:40 |
| linuxguy2009 | jercos: Download an ISO and reinstall fresh. | 01:41 |

| psypher246 | linuxguy2009: 9.10 running on not production machine at home, same issue, but that was an upgrade, not confident enough karmic right now to re-install my work laptop, needs to be stable (despite it being slow as cancer) | 01:41 |
| df00z | software raid | 01:41 |
| ninjah | df00z: No | 01:41 |

| df00z | ugh | 01:41 |
| FireCrotch | jercos: so it's not limited to just X sessions, but to virtual terminals as well? | 01:41 |
| linuxguy2009 | psypher246:Thats why they make live CDs. Test it before you wipe. | 01:41 |
| bastidrazor | pixie_pie: no idea, i'm on karmic and currently gvim does not exist there. probably accessories although some times a relog is necessary for the menu to update. | 01:41 |
| ninjah | df00z: It won't detect it cause it doesn't know about it. The system has to be configured for that. | 01:41 |
| centHOGG | df00z: well you have to assemble the raid | 01:41 |
| jercos | FireCrotch: Oh, X won't start. it seems whenever the screen flashes, it crashes. | 01:41 |
| pixie_pie | relog? | 01:41 |
| centHOGG | yes | 01:41 |
| pixie_pie | reboot you mean? | 01:41 |
| arghh2d2 | randomusr: yeah, ncmpcpp searches for id3 tags and lyrics and album covers and all that. | 01:41 |
| aegimius1 | ipconfig at terminal will tell me my ip adress? it doesnt tell me anything. i thought that command only worked with Windows | 01:41 |
| lotec | x_or does your computer let you boot from sd? | 01:41 |

| df00z | if you have the partition type set | 01:42 |
| df00z | the kernel itself is able to do it | 01:42 |
| pixie_pie | thanks =) | 01:42 |
| df00z | but i dont know if ubuntu is configured like that | 01:42 |
| linuxguy2009 | psypher246: Otherwise consider changing disros and thats all I will say about that cause I will be yelled at for further discussion. | 01:42 |
| psypher246 | linuxguy2009: sure but what about the million apps i have to have installed afterwards, will have to use usb | 01:42 |
| FireCrotch | jercos: try sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg | 01:42 |
| jercos | FireCrotch: the frequency varies a lot, when it was going slowly I tried to start X, if it started while it was blank, it would say "no screens found". | 01:42 |
| x_or | lotec: I selected that disk in the boot menu, so I think so, yes. | 01:42 |
| randomusr | arghh2d2, Sweet | 01:42 |
| psypher246 | linuxguy2009: nah, not an option | 01:42 |
| mcurran | I think you could type /userlist here and see your ip address next to your name. | 01:42 |
| psypher246 | thanks anyway | 01:42 |
| df00z | brb | 01:42 |
| lotec | X-or so did you dd the image to the sd? | 01:42 |
| lotec | x_or did you dd the image to the sd? | 01:43 |
| jercos | FireCrotch: it still happens if I stop the kickstart job for gdm... | 01:43 |
| linuxguy2009 | psypher246: Then youll have to live with it. Not much more I can say really. | 01:43 |
| arghh2d2 | randomusr: not sure if ncmpcpp is in standard ubuntu repos though. I know ncmpc is. | 01:43 |
| snoopy | Is there a program on ubuntu that'll edit videos and like insert music in it? | 01:43 |
| jercos | FireCrotch: and the last few runs have flashed at a rate that makes it impossible to do anything. | 01:43 |
| psypher246 | linuxguy2009: pretty sure it's a bug, so will endeavour to fix it | 01:43 |

| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about myself | 01:44 |
| bastidrazor | arghh2d2: you just need to know how to use it. | 01:44 |
| x_or | lotec: Yes, when the computer is booted it can read and mount ehe SD card, nd the filesystem is intact. But, it won't boot. Do you think I am not able to boot from it? I guess I am looking for a way to verify that I did create the boot disk properly. | 01:44 |
| trism | njbartlett: yeah, something must be misconfigured by default in karmic, I fixed mine but I'm really not sure how...I installed ibus first by System/Administration/Language Support but that wasn't working so I tried to get SCIM back and removed ibus, but that didn't work either...finally just tried installing ibus again and it worked *shrugs* | 01:44 |

| hylman | hi everyone... | 01:45 |
| linuxguy2009 | x_or: You put an ISO onto the card and trying to boot it? | 01:45 |
| xae8koo | What skype version should I use for 9.10 64bit?! | 01:45 |
| centHOGG | <handbrake dark gamma | 01:45 |
| melik | is there any VERY VERY light gtk IRC clients? | 01:45 |
| lotec | x_or the file system you did dd on was it bootable??? | 01:45 |
| x_or | lotec: dd if=/dev/sdc of=ubuntu-9.10-netbook-remix-i386.iso | 01:45 |
| linuxguy2009 | xae8koo: a 64bit version of skype built for 9.10. Thats easy. | 01:46 |
| x_or | lotec: Ah, that might be missing, how do I do that? Do I use fdisk to make it bootable first? | 01:46 |
| lotec | x_or a standard iso is not bootable and dd will not make it bootable | 01:46 |
| jercos | melik: telnet + a lightweight terminal? | 01:46 |
| linuxguy2009 | x_or: unetbootin is what you are in need of. ;) | 01:46 |
| x_or | lotec: OK, so use disk first, reformat as fat, then toggle boot flag, then redo the dd? | 01:46 |
| xae8koo | linuxguy2009: I can't find it | 01:46 |
| melik | ugh need GUI | 01:46 |
| hylman | everytime I start ubuntu netbook remix, the screen brightness always set to maximum.... is there any way to unable this feature? | 01:47 |
| xae8koo | linuxguy2009: It is one for 8.10 though | 01:47 |
| iGadget | Bug #486130 filed. That's all for today folks. Goodnight. | 01:47 |
| lotec | x_or no that will not work | 01:47 |
| linuxguy2009 | xae8koo: If there is no package for your system then there simply isnt one. | 01:47 |
| SonicFreak94 | I have what would seem to be a graphics driver problem. Basically, whenever I install the Recommended nvidia 173 drivers, after restarting Ubuntu, I get a black screen, and a split-second text login screen, then it goes back to black and loops. (Ubuntu 9.10, GeForce FX5200 AGP) Does anyone know of a solution? I'd like to run this natively instead of on a virtual machine... | 01:47 |
| trism | njbartlett: http://pastebin.com/fbbd5fa5 these are the ibus packages I installed manually when reinstalling, perhaps I stumbled on one that isn't installed by default | 01:47 |
| x_or | linuxguy2009: I can use that, should download that then? | 01:47 |
| SonicFreak94 | I haven't been able to find a working solution anywhere =( | 01:47 |
| lotec | x_or what are you trying to acomplish? are you going to install from the sd to someting or use the sd as the install? | 01:48 |
| linuxguy2009 | x_or: Yes, format the card to fat32 and just point unetbootin to the ISO. Itll do the work for you. | 01:48 |
| centHOGG | FX5200? | 01:48 |
| xae8koo | linuxguy2009: But I need skype! | 01:48 |
| linuxguy2009 | x_or: As long as the bios supports card booting then itl work for ya,. | 01:48 |
| linuxguy2009 | xae8koo: Then downgrade your ubuntu. | 01:48 |
| Dallas | Hey guys. I've got this dell mini 10 and I finally got the psb drivers working on it last night. But now it'll lock up randomly while I'm doing things, it's happened 2 times with synaptic open and probably 5 times while browsing in firefox. While running 9.04. Any idea what I could do to remedy this situation? Or if you know if there working Poulsbo drivers for Karmic. | 01:48 |
| hylman | everytime I start ubuntu netbook remix, the screen brightness always set to maximum.... is there any way to unable this feature? | 01:49 |
| linuxguy2009 | xae8koo: install 8.04 32bit or 8.10 32 or 64. Your choice. | 01:49 |
| MikeChelen | SonicFreak94: maybe try a different driver version, envy can help with this | 01:49 |
| njbartlett | trism: Ah, I don't have the -m17n and -qt4 bits installed. Will try adding that... | 01:49 |
| MikeChelen | !envyng | 01:49 |
| ubottu | EnvyNG is a program to install newer version of nVidia or ATi drivers, it can be found in !Universe as "envyng-gtk" (for Gtk/Gnome) or "envyng-qt" (for Qt/KDE). It is NOT a supported method to install video drivers; please only use it if standard methods fail and at your own risk - See also !BinaryDriver | 01:49 |
| x_or | linuxguy2009: I was not able to find a version of unetbootin for my Xandros on EEE, but will look again. | 01:49 |
| linuxguy2009 | Dallas: I have a Dell Mini 10v myself. What is psb driver? | 01:50 |
| linuxguy2009 | x_or: make sure to add multiverse and universe repos so you get all packages listed. | 01:50 |
| linuxguy2009 | x_or: 4 repos in all. | 01:51 |
| SonicFreak94 | MikeChelen: I'll check it out | 01:51 |
| xae8koo | linuxguy2009: 64 bit has perfomance that is bether! | 01:51 |
| tck9 | zodiac: that would find large files.. what im looking for is direcectories with lots of files in them (could all be 1k in size, the file size doesn't matter, the number of files in the directory does) | 01:51 |
| MikeChelen | SonicFreak94: the default hardware manager might also include different driver versions that might helt | 01:52 |
| MikeChelen | *help | 01:52 |
| randomusr | if my computer is only seeing on of two physical hard drive, bt they both show up in the bios and work properly, what gives? | 01:52 |
| linuxguy2009 | xae8koo: 64bit has better performance as long as the program has been compiled to take advantage of the architecture. | 01:53 |
| randomusr | one88 | 01:53 |
| centHOGG | randomusr: LBA? | 01:53 |
| linuxguy2009 | randomusr: Make sure drive 2 is formatted and mounted. | 01:53 |
| SonicFreak94 | MikeChelen: It showed number 96 IIRC, but I figured it'd be better to use newer drivers. They were working at some point, but one day Ubuntu started doing the thing I described, so I re-installed, and ever since installing that driver makes it do the same thing | 01:53 |
| randomusr | Linuxguy2009, how? | 01:54 |
| MikeChelen | SonicFreak94: some gfx cards like different drivers, if that version worked in the past though it should still be ok | 01:54 |
| linuxguy2009 | randomusr: System admin software sources. | 01:55 |
| randomusr | ok? | 01:55 |
| SonicFreak94 | MikeChelen: I know, that's what I thought, but it just doesn't anymore for some reason. No matter how I install Ubuntu, it always does that now, even though it worked before | 01:55 |
| linuxguy2009 | randomusr: sorry. hehe | 01:55 |
| linuxguy2009 | randomusr: gparted can format it. | 01:55 |
| hylman | everytime I start ubuntu netbook remix, the screen brightness always set to maximum.... is there any way to unable this feature? | 01:55 |
| randomusr | come on | 01:55 |
| randomusr | ok | 01:55 |
| Dallas | Hylman. If you open the power management preferences | 01:56 |
| Dallas | there is "set brightness to" | 01:56 |
| MikeChelen | SonicFreak94: it should still work, but maybe try some other version to see if they are better | 01:57 |
| LinuxBee | anyone here familiar with vanity ip or vhost | 01:57 |
| hylman | Dallas: but that's only for AC power | 01:57 |
| Dallas | on battery power there's a box for reduce backlight brightness | 01:58 |
| Dallas | maybe that will do what you need? | 01:58 |
| linuxguy2009 | Dallas: Do you have a mini 10 or mini 10v? | 01:58 |
| ncfi1013 | hello anybody what does this mean?: http://pastebin.com/d360a0ec1 | 01:59 |

| pixie_pie | sorry my keyboard doesn't work rather | 02:02 |
| linuxguy2009 | Dallas: Does it have the VGA or HDMI connector? | 02:02 |
| pixie_pie | Is there any way at all that I can grab data off of my hd? | 02:02 |
| temporarytao | rkyraccoon55, what are you using to play your dvd's? what's your problem specifically? | 02:02 |
| pixie_pie | Surely there must be a way I can get in... it boots | 02:02 |
| centHOGG | pixie_pie: yeah you can... but have you thourougly dried it off | 02:02 |
| hylman | Dallas: thanks a lot. I'll try that later | 02:02 |
| rkyraccoon55 | temporarytao: i've tried using totem-gstreamer and totem-xine | 02:02 |
| Dallas | linuxguy2009: do you know anything about getting the poulsbo driver to work in 9.1? I think the random lockup has something to do with the wireless as it only does it on wireless. It has HDMI connector on the side. | 02:02 |
| centHOGG | clean connectors | 02:02 |
| Flannel | pixie_pie: Turn it off, unplug the battery, let it dry. If you can take it apart easily, do so, it'll dry faster. | 02:02 |

| centHOGG | Flannel: yes | 02:03 |
| rkyraccoon55 | temporarytao it says error could not read from source | 02:03 |
| hylman | btw, anybody knows how to play 3gp videos with sound? | 02:03 |
| rkyraccoon55 | temporarytao yea, vlc just doesnt do anything when i tell it to play | 02:03 |
| Flannel | pixie_pie: If you never turn it on when it's wet, once it's dry it'll work just fine. But make sure it's completely dry. | 02:03 |
| centHOGG | pixie_pie: ever seen that dumb commercial where the lady smiles after someone spills a drink on her laptop | 02:03 |
| temporarytao | rkyraccoon55, could be bad dvd, bad dvd-drive, etc. have you tried other dvd's? also, try vlc | 02:03 |
| randomusr | Linuxguy2009, Fork, my problem was not a formatting or mount issue..... I freeking went nuts with the partitions and mount them strangely.... | 02:04 |
| rkyraccoon55 | temporarytao, the dvd plays fine in my windows partition and my other ubuntu computer | 02:04 |

| centHOGG | pixie_pie: dry | 02:11 |
| zenlunat1c | pixie_pie: your best bet is to take out the drive and mount it on another machine | 02:11 |
| Dallas | linuxguy2009: yes. it's the intel poulsbo us15w according to dell | 02:11 |
| linuxguy2009 | spO: I think dpkg has force options. | 02:11 |
| c1h23r456i78910 | how can i set up my IP address to constantly change? | 02:11 |

| centHOGG | spO: gdeb | 02:11 |
| pixie_pie | centHOGG it's been a day so i think it's dry | 02:11 |
| temporarytao | pixie_pie, your computer makes some beeping sounds when it turns on. the beep pattern tells you of the problem that your computer is having. to know what those patterns mean, you'll have to check your computer/motherboard manual | 02:11 |
| zenlunat1c | c1h23r456i78910: query dhcp more often..? | 02:11 |
| Dallas | linuxguy2009: or intel integrated graphics media accelerator 500 | 02:12 |
| pixie_pie | temporarytao that's really ... too far in for me | 02:12 |
| pixie_pie | i tried to take it apart but I couldn't get the screw off | 02:12 |
| c1h23r456i78910 | zenlunat1c: PM? | 02:12 |
| zenlunat1c | c1h23r456i78910: never done it but that seems possible, probablyt in dhcp settings | 02:12 |
| centHOGG | pixie_pie: ok.. do this... turn it on and describe what occurs as best you can | 02:12 |
| pixie_pie | i guess I'll have to let it go and try to recreate my files | 02:12 |
| zenlunat1c | c1h23r456i78910: sure | 02:12 |
| pixie_pie | thanks centHOGG | 02:12 |
| markw1 | anyone know why I can't load google in any browser in ubuntu, but I can in windows. It's one of the few sites that just keeps timing out on me in Ubuntu | 02:12 |
| pixie_pie | will do | 02:12 |
| Dallas | with poulsbo chipset. | 02:12 |
| linuxguy2009 | Dallas: Whats the issue? | 02:12 |
| ninjah | If I "Ctrl+c" an svn check out can I restart where I left off? | 02:12 |
| zenlunat1c | markw1: your dns setup right? | 02:12 |
| pixie_pie | ok so i boot it and it is continually beeping | 02:12 |
| pixie_pie | and now it just stopped beeping ... and then it started again centHOGG | 02:13 |
| Pascat | I guess nobody can help :/ | 02:13 |
| markw1 | zenlunat1c: not sure, is there an article on it? | 02:13 |
| pixie_pie | I'm stuck on the screen that says "Use the up and down keys to select which entry is highlighted" | 02:13 |
| centHOGG | ok PM me and then get ready :) | 02:13 |
| pixie_pie | and the beeping won't stop | 02:13 |
| Dallas | linuxguy2009: yes. since installing the poulsbo driver the system will lockup while doing things approximately after about 10 minutes of use, it doesn't lock up at idle or when I'm using the Lan, it seems to only do it while using the wlan. | 02:13 |
| zenlunat1c | markw1: check /etc/resolv.conf | 02:14 |
| linuxguy2009 | Dallas: Ok so the driver was for the motherboard chipset? | 02:14 |
| FewClues | @markw1 Google is extremely slow here in the Tip of Texas. | 02:14 |
| Dallas | linuxguy2009: Actually, I was under the impression that it was for the video card, with it installed I can display at native resolution. | 02:15 |
| Dallas | linuxguy2009: but, possibly there is a different driver for the video device? | 02:16 |
| f4 | hi | 02:16 |
| markw1 | zenlunat1c: I have nameserver 127.0.0.1 | 02:16 |

| markw1 | FewClues: The weird thing is, it was fairly fast in Windows XP when I switched over | 02:17 |
| zenlunat1c | markw1: youre running your own nameserver? :) localhost... | 02:17 |
| f4 | anyone knows how to read it? | 02:17 |
| mgolisch | i allways use testdisk for this | 02:18 |
| markw1 | zenlunat1c: guess so, lol, what do I need to change it to? | 02:18 |
| SpacePigeon | f4, why are you not using the interface? | 02:18 |
| linuxguy2009 | Dallas: I believe mine has an intel 945 chip. And Ubuntu 9.04 and 9.10 both have been on it so far and its supported right out of the box at 1024x600. | 02:18 |
| zenlunat1c | markw1: your isp provides them and there are free ones if not | 02:18 |
| Pascat | ..... Mail-Notification will not remember my gmail password and its bothering me :/ | 02:18 |
| linuxguy2009 | Dallas: Why did you think you needed a different driver? You werent getting the full resolution? | 02:18 |
| zenlunat1c | markw1: copy the dns ips from windows to that text file in ubuntu ( resolv.conf) | 02:18 |
| f4 | the interface? | 02:18 |

| zenlunat1c | markw1: let me know if that works | 02:19 |
| drygr | allow me then to express puzzlement | 02:19 |
| seidos | wtfrak | 02:20 |
| * seidos thinks it's only a matter of time before frak becomes an actual curse word | 02:20 | |
| Dallas | linuxguy2009: with fresh install of 9.10 it would only run at 800x600. Couldn't detect the monitor, and displayed very choppily | 02:20 |
| linuxguy2009 | Dallas: BTW the driver provided even supports opengl so compiz even works on it. | 02:20 |
| drygr | why did my laptop stop recognizing USB thumb drives? i just updated to 9.10 | 02:21 |
| Dallas | linuxguy2009: really? maybe I just needed to enable the intel driver? | 02:21 |
| linuxguy2009 | Dallas: Monitor? You mean the built in LCD display or an external monitor? | 02:21 |
| drygr | i plug it in and theres nothing to mount | 02:21 |
| Dallas | linuxguy2009: the built in lcd | 02:21 |
| linuxguy2009 | Dallas: Driver is enabled automatically on mine. | 02:21 |
| seidos | drygr: reboot? | 02:21 |
| linuxguy2009 | Dallas: You have intel 950? | 02:21 |
| SpacePigeon | f4, gparted? | 02:21 |
| * MajorGeek lurks | 02:21 | |
| drygr | okay | 02:21 |
| zenlunat1c | drygr: release notes might have bug info shrug | 02:21 |
| drygr | for lack of a better solution i shall | 02:22 |
| f4 | SpacePigeon, i'm not sure gparted and gpart are related | 02:22 |
| SpacePigeon | f4, oh i'm sorry | 02:22 |
| Dallas | linuxguy2009: How do I find which one. The dell site shows intel integrated graphics media accelerator 500 | 02:22 |
| SpacePigeon | f4, i didn't know about gpart so I thought you misspelled gparted | 02:22 |
| linuxguy2009 | Dallas: pastebin this for me. sudo lshw -c video | 02:22 |
| * seidos wonders if there's a way to reset usb | 02:22 | |
| linuxguy2009 | Dallas: That will say for sure. | 02:22 |
| seidos | that'd be cool, only reset what you need to, heh | 02:22 |
| derspankster | drygr: look at your priveldges in users and groups | 02:22 |
| f4 | SpacePigeon, gpart is a tool to find old partitions when the partition table has been erased | 02:23 |
| drygr | okay | 02:23 |
| drygr | after i reboot | 02:23 |
| SpacePigeon | nice | 02:23 |
| drygr | brb | 02:23 |
| f4 | it does find the partition i want but i dont understand how to read those informations :'( | 02:23 |

| ubottu | jaeyke: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines. Enjoy your stay! | 02:25 |
| jaeyke | Wow it has been a very long time since I used IRC | 02:25 |
| goppp | I have irssi auto join | 02:25 |
| Arsin | Shutting down my computer doesn't do anything anymore (Using the shut down button in Ubuntu) | 02:25 |
| goppp | a channel upon it connection to server | 02:26 |
| goppp | but how do I have irssi display the channel first thing after it connects and not motd | 02:26 |
| om26er | Arsin, from terminal reboot and the next time it should work i think | 02:26 |
| linuxguy2009 | Dallas: The line im most interested in says "Product:xxxxxxxxxxx" | 02:26 |
| jaeyke | I have an ubuntu one question. I haven't yet found an answer | 02:26 |

| seidos | haven't tried searching the web yet | 02:27 |
| uberspaced | let's just say I selected encrypt home directory when I installed ubuntu | 02:27 |
| yea_i_did-it | any thoughts on how to recover a recently partitioned drive? | 02:27 |
| seidos | i'm using 9.04 | 02:27 |
| uberspaced | and I don't care about the data that's there | 02:27 |
| uberspaced | and I just want it to not encrypt my home directory | 02:27 |
| uberspaced | how do I say "just have a regular home directory, computer" ? | 02:27 |
| jongbergs | seidos: install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 02:28 |
| Dallas | linuxguy2009: Product: System Controller Hub (SCH Poulsbo) Grapics Controller | 02:28 |
| linuxguy2009 | Dallas: Ok cool. Where did you get the driver from? | 02:29 |
| jongbergs | seidos: i usually use vlc to play youtube videos | 02:30 |
| anom01y | how do I search using multiple keywords in synaptic | 02:30 |
| Dallas | linuxguy2009: http://mok0.wordpress.com/2009/05/25/ubuntu-on-the-dell-mini-10-2/ Just followed the instructions | 02:31 |
| IdleOne | anom01y: just type them in the search box | 02:31 |
| anom01y | seperated by a space ? | 02:31 |
| IdleOne | yup | 02:31 |
| jongbergs | yea_i_did-it: try gparted' | 02:31 |
| anom01y | ok, I didn't think that would work | 02:31 |
| uberspaced | there's like this .ecrypt directory with the user that I'm interested in disabling home dir encryption for | 02:31 |
| Arsin | om26er: Happened to you? | 02:31 |
| uberspaced | I done removed it, and I'mma dun recreate the user's home dir. | 02:31 |
| xae8koo | sendsms, doesnt exist anymore? | 02:32 |
| uberspaced | if anybody knows the better way to do this, please let me know | 02:32 |
| anom01y | IdleOne, yeah it doesnt narrow down the search results at all | 02:32 |
| om26er | Arsin, not now but before it did. i think in jaunty | 02:32 |
| IdleOne | xae8koo: smsclient maybe? | 02:32 |
| anom01y | Ie. I search for record desktop | 02:32 |
| uberspaced | why, for the love of mike, doesn't ctrl+alt+backspace restart X any more? | 02:32 |
| yea_i_did-it | how do u recover using gparted? | 02:33 |
| FFEMTcJ | is anyone else having trouble connecting to any ubuntu website? | 02:33 |
| anom01y | and I get everything with record and everything with desktop | 02:33 |
| epinky | uberspaced: you mean ~/.ecryptfs/Private.mnt? | 02:33 |
| anom01y | but nothing with both words ' record desktop' | 02:33 |
| uberspaced | no, I mean /home/.ecryptfs/user | 02:33 |
| user221 | is the netbook edition of ubuntu for the atom processor based mini-laptops? | 02:33 |
| om26er | uberspaced, cuz ctrl+prntscr+k works now | 02:33 |
| uberspaced | om26er, what the hell is that? | 02:33 |
| Dallas | linuxguy2009: When I fresh installed 9.10 netbook remix it was barely useable with the video effects that were going on. if there's a way to disable them and get the video driver working I'd rather have the newer kernel. | 02:33 |
| bazhang | !screencast | anom01y | 02:33 |
| ubottu | anom01y: Some programs to capture your screen are recordmydesktop, Istanbul, Wink, Xvidcap, pyvnc2swf. Also see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreenCasts. | 02:33 |
| IdleOne | anom01y: select one of the categories on the right. it defaults to all packages so the search will return any package with the the word "tool" in name or description for example | 02:34 |
| linuxguy2009 | Dallas: Ok my best guess is if the driver is causing issues, it is because that driver was built for 9.04 and not 9.10. Usually packages should not be mixed between different releases because of different system and package requirements and dependencies. | 02:34 |
| epinky | uberspaced: then I can't help :( | 02:34 |
| yea_i_did-it | jong how do u use gparted to recover partitions? | 02:34 |
| uberspaced | what do you mean you can't help? | 02:34 |
| uberspaced | what happened? | 02:34 |
| uberspaced | oh | 02:34 |
| uberspaced | right | 02:34 |
| FloodBot2 | uberspaced: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 02:34 |
| uberspaced | short term memory. | 02:34 |
| Dallas | linuxguy2009: I'm on 9.04 currently | 02:34 |
| linuxguy2009 | Dallas: Oh | 02:34 |
| yea_i_did-it | i was trying to partition and format a new drive of the same capacity and selected a drive full of data by accident, now gparted reports the FS is unknown, no new FS was created tho | 02:35 |
| saber_ | ubuntu 9.10 everything awesome except burning dvds, no matter what app I use process goes to 99% and fails, any direction I should go in? | 02:35 |
| Dallas | linuxguy2009: I tried 9.10 first. and couldn't get it to work properly with that driver. so I reinstalled. | 02:35 |
| jongbergs | saber_: hw bout k3b? | 02:36 |
| linuxguy2009 | Dallas: Do you have a CD/DVD drive for your netbook? | 02:36 |
| radicaljoe | saber_:cdrecord is the only thing that works for me. | 02:36 |
| Dallas | linuxguy2009: nope. I have to put it on a usb to install. | 02:36 |
| saber_ | k3b wouldn't work either, I am wondering if it is the drive? | 02:37 |
| linuxguy2009 | Dallas: ok | 02:37 |
| Dallas | linuxguy2009: is there a proper driver for 9.10 for this card? or would it be hard to find out? | 02:37 |
| saber_ | I will try cdrecord thank you | 02:37 |
| uberspaced | epinky, ok, how do I stop that one? | 02:37 |
| Bam_Bam | Why doesn't updatedb work in Ubuntu Server 9.10? | 02:37 |
| uberspaced | umount /home/user/.Private ain't workin | 02:37 |
| jbuncher | yea_i_did-it, maybe you should try "testdisk" (wil need to apt-get it) from a livecd | 02:38 |
| uberspaced | ok, forget it. it did work. | 02:38 |
| uberspaced | sweet. | 02:38 |
| g1er | how do i recover my su pw in jaunty :/ | 02:38 |
| uberspaced | use sudo | 02:38 |
| uberspaced | gler ^^ | 02:38 |
| yea_i_did-it | what is testdisk? | 02:38 |
| IdleOne | Bam_Bam: is it supposed to give output? I just ran on my desktop and it didn't | 02:38 |
| g1er | sudo asks for password too | 02:38 |
| linuxguy2009 | Dallas: Ill try and find out for you. Im trying to add that source to my list and check out the packages. 1 sec. | 02:38 |
| uberspaced | and your user doesn't have sudo privs? | 02:38 |
| g1er | apearently not :( set it up months ago | 02:39 |
| Bam_Bam | IdleOne: no, its just supposed to update the database for findutils | 02:39 |
| uberspaced | gler, boot into single user mode | 02:39 |
| Dallas | linuxguy2009: k. Thank you. | 02:39 |
| uberspaced | and use passwd for root there | 02:39 |
| uberspaced | edit the grub command line | 02:39 |
| Bam_Bam | but I've got findutils installed and the output is bash: can not find command | 02:39 |
| uberspaced | err, kernel line | 02:39 |
| uberspaced | put ' single' at the end of it and boot that. | 02:39 |
| IdleOne | Bam_Bam: ok well umm how do you know if it worked or not? I am asking because I don't know, not trying to be sarcastic | 02:40 |
| uberspaced | then you can has change passwd. | 02:40 |
| Arsin | What's the deal with Compiz + Flash, I can't seem to get megavideo video's to work with compiz running | 02:40 |
| linuxguy2009 | Dallas: xpsb-glx that the package you installed | 02:40 |
| greezmunkey | APTonCD rules... | 02:40 |
| Bam_Bam | IdleOne: I haven't got a clue, but nothing else from that package works like locate | 02:40 |
| Bam_Bam | and I don't know how to fix it as long as aptitude is telling me its already installed | 02:40 |
| uberspaced | man this 9.10 stuff is going to take some getting used to. | 02:40 |
| user221 | how do you readd the volume control to the gnome panel? i removed and there is seemingly no "add to panel" for it | 02:41 |
| linuxguy2009 | Dallas: That right? | 02:41 |
| IdleOne | Bam_Bam: try removing and reinstalling it | 02:41 |
| xae8koo | Is there any way for Evolution to import my phone contacts? | 02:41 |

| Jamiell | Hi I just installed the Ubuntu 9.10 but my ubuntu software center does not run | 02:42 |
| IdleOne | Jamiell: did you install any updates? | 02:42 |
| Flare-Laptop | Jamiell: Use synaptic then | 02:42 |
| jongbergs | Jamiell: freh install? | 02:42 |
| g1er | ok thanks, will give that a go. another ? tho. /quit | 02:43 |
| chatZilla | is it possible to use alien package converter to convert tarball files into .deb ??? | 02:43 |
| Jamiell | yea ubuntu 9.10 | 02:43 |
| Bam_Bam | IdleOne: http://paste.ubuntu.com/324032/plain/ | 02:43 |
| linuxguy2009 | Dallas: Did you install the package called xpsb-glx? That the one? | 02:43 |
| Bam_Bam | IdleOne: have another solution? | 02:43 |
| user221 | chatZilla, why not tar -zxvf <file>.tgz ? | 02:43 |
| Dallas1 | linuxguy2009: I'm not really sure. | 02:44 |
| chatZilla | yes or no? please | 02:44 |
| IdleOne | Bam_Bam: some of those packages seem essential huh. sorry I don't have any other ideas | 02:44 |
| Jamiell | when i click it..It begins and then cuts off by itself | 02:44 |
| linuxguy2009 | Dallas1: check synaptic and see if you have that package installed. | 02:44 |
| Bam_Bam | IdleOne: yeah, just a bit, lol | 02:45 |
| IdleOne | hehe | 02:45 |
| Bam_Bam | Its a pain to not be able to use locate | 02:45 |
| Dallas1 | linuxguy2009: yes it's installed | 02:45 |
| linuxguy2009 | Dallas1: ok That looks to be the correct driver. If it doesnt work then its probably broken or something. | 02:46 |
| jbuncher | yea_i_did-it, it's a partition/drive recovery program | 02:46 |
| xae8koo | I love the included sms thingy with 9.10 | 02:46 |
| xae8koo | I can now send and recive sms from my desktop | 02:47 |
| Dallas1 | so, would I just install that package when I put 9.1 on? | 02:47 |
| IdleOne | xae8koo: which thingy? | 02:47 |
| yea_i_did-it | oh nice, just apt-get and run from terminal? | 02:47 |
| Dallas1 | is there a way to just make 9.1 look the same as 9.04 | 02:47 |
| Dallas1 | ? | 02:47 |
| linuxguy2009 | Dallas1: Did you check system, admin, hardware drivers to see if the driver is listed there and activated? | 02:47 |
| xae8koo | IdleOne: PhoneManager | 02:47 |
| IdleOne | ahh | 02:47 |
| xae8koo | IdleOne: If it only had a contac list I would be so amazed! :D | 02:48 |
| Dallas1 | linuxguy:it only shows the broadcom driver | 02:48 |
| IdleOne | xae8koo: maybe there are plugins? | 02:48 |
| Bam_Bam | IdleOne: I that was the wrong package... sorry... locate is in the package "locate", go figure, eh? | 02:48 |
| Jamiell | Hello. I just updated to ubuntu 9.10 but whenever I click on the Ubuntu Software center it begins buts exits itself before it opens | 02:48 |
| xae8koo | IdleOne: Good point... | 02:48 |
| jbuncher | yea_i_did-it, yup, if your data/partitions are still there, it should find them. There's also "gpart" which tries to guess partitions as well. Neither of these will work if the drive actually got formatted, though. | 02:48 |

| linuxguy2009 | Dallas1: If that repository exists sure. | 03:00 |
| linuxguy2009 | Dallas1: I just read that intel has no interest in supporting the 500 chip in 9.10 at all. | 03:01 |
| linuxguy2009 | Dallas1: Not even sure if there is an official driver for 9.04 either. | 03:01 |
| user221 | are there any recommended repository's i should add to sources.list? | 03:01 |
| user221 | and this may be a dumb question, but why isnt vim a default package with ubuntu? | 03:02 |
| hololight | user221: what are you trying to do? | 03:02 |
| centHOGG | old | 03:02 |
| hanasaki | typeing aptitude dist-<TAB> as root completes the option .. .as a regular user or as a user that has sudo to bash it does not. how can this be enabled for a user sudo as root? | 03:03 |
| linuxguy2009 | user221: add it yourself and then if you need it on cd then just use aptoncd. | 03:03 |
| dash_ | I am using afpfs-ng to mount an AFP share that's attached to my airport extreme. It works, but the disk tends to spin down after inactivity | 03:03 |
| user221 | hololight: nothing in particular.. | 03:03 |
| dash_ | and when the os needs to read or write to that share after inactivity | 03:03 |
| zenlunat1c | user221: $vi works here | 03:03 |
| dash_ | the disk spinup is so slow | 03:03 |
| user221 | linuxguy2009: ya apt-get install vim worked | 03:03 |
| dash_ | that the op times out | 03:03 |
| Dallas1 | linuxguy: I'm not sure if it does or doesn't, it was just a guess. | 03:03 |
| centHOGG | masochists | 03:03 |
| dash_ | i am wondering if there is some way to increase the timeout period so the OS will wait for the disk to spinup? | 03:03 |
| centHOGG | dash_: yes | 03:04 |
| centHOGG | in grub | 03:04 |
| hololight | user221: then prolly not, my rule is to not add until you have a specific reason. About the only ones I have ever added are medibuntu and xbmc (only to get xbmc) | 03:04 |
| zenlunat1c | centHOGG: menu.lst? | 03:04 |
| user221 | dash_: bootup timeout or raid-array spinup on initilization on bootup? | 03:04 |
| centHOGG | yes | 03:04 |
| linuxguy2009 | Dallas1: Cant rememeber but I think that might have been why I got the 10v instead. | 03:04 |
| centHOGG | i forget the command.. but its a good one for old RAID setups and such (spin ups) | 03:04 |
| spO` | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/440233 | 03:05 |
| Urden | nevermind. i guess it was just my local repo mirror that was down | 03:05 |
| dash_ | well i know about hdparm | 03:05 |
| dash_ | but i figure that won't work | 03:05 |
| dash_ | it's not a raid or even a boot disk | 03:05 |
| user221 | hololight: ive been getting xbmc from giganews via sabnzbd .. or is there an xbmc for linux as well? | 03:05 |
| Dallas1 | linuxguy: That's no good, not a good choice for intel either in my opinion. How would I check to see if it is a working repository? Would I just get glx-plsb and xserver-xorg-video-psb if it is? | 03:05 |
| dash_ | it's being mounted in FUSE quite late in the boot | 03:05 |
| centHOGG | 03:05 | |
| dash_ | I can't seem to find anything on google | 03:06 |
| dash_ | which is why I came here | 03:06 |
| centHOGG | brb | 03:06 |
| hololight | user221: yes, they have an official package for ubuntu. | 03:06 |
| user221 | i used to have a server that had 2 14-disk raid arrays attached (old compaq crap) that would take 10 minutes to spin all the volumes up.. never any timeouts though from the driver on the compaq 221 raid controller | 03:06 |
| linuxguy2009 | Dallas1: You can try and add it, if the package names get reloaded then it exists. And just take your best guess to which one to install. | 03:07 |
| Rewt` | i just upgraded to 9.10... now when I launch a browser, the screen is completely black | 03:07 |
| user221 | hololight: neat, ill check that out .. what is the repository for this? | 03:07 |
| dash_ | user221:hmm, that is interesting | 03:07 |
| Dallas1 | linuxguy: I'd really just like to get this working properly whether it be on ubuntu 9.04,9.10 or something else. I'd really hate to put windows on it just because I'm sure it will run poorly. | 03:07 |
| user221 | dash_: ya, old gentoo system 6 or so years ago | 03:07 |
| dash_ | user221:it's hard to say whether the timeout is coming from FUSE, from the AFP layer, or from the kernel | 03:07 |
| hololight | user221: dont remember off hand. Its listed on their site under downloads I think. | 03:07 |
| user221 | hololight: thx | 03:08 |
| eniacpx | How can I upgrade my server from 8.04 to 9.10, is it possible? | 03:08 |

| andreanadelphon | Anybody know why cron wouldn't be starting at bootup in Hardy, even though the init script is linked and working when run manually? | 03:08 |
| syn-ack | eniacpx: change your sources.list to the "karmic" | 03:09 |
| rww | syn-ack: that's not the correct or supported way of doing upgrades | 03:09 |
| hololight | eniacpx: i think the apt-get option is like dist-upgrade? | 03:10 |
| === apple is now known as plat | ||
| rww | eniacpx: 8.04 directly to 9.10 isn't supported, you'd need to do 8.04->8.10->9.04->9.10, using the upgrade instructions: | 03:10 |
| linuxguy2009 | Dallas1: You can try calling Dell to see if they provide a custom ISO image for that model I think they have had them in the past for some models. | 03:10 |
| syn-ack | so, it'd be better to say nothing other than "without a reinstall?" | 03:10 |
| rww | !upgrade | 03:10 |
| ubottu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading | 03:10 |
| derspankster | enacpx: not directly | 03:10 |
| syn-ack | I'm sorry... Had a long day | 03:10 |
| eniacpx | Thanks everyone! | 03:10 |
| rww | eniacpx: personally, I'd wait for 10.04 to come out in April. It's an LTS, so you can go directly from 8.04 to it. | 03:10 |
| Rewt` | hmm | 03:10 |
| user221 | portage/ports has an update world option .. not sure what it is for apt-get | 03:11 |
| eniacpx | rww: Thanks for the tip, I probably will. | 03:11 |
| Rewt` | it seems there's a black "thing" over my desktop. I can't even seen wallaper | 03:11 |

| Rewt` | wallpaper, too | 03:11 |
| user221 | ya, apt-get dist-upgrade it looks | 03:11 |
| Dallas1 | linuxguy: I did do some searching around. Apparently it worked well with 8.04. | 03:11 |
| rww | !dist-upgrade | 03:11 |
| ubottu | A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. Please see !upgrade for the proper release upgrade methods. | 03:11 |
| Dallas1 | That's the version they ship with I suppose | 03:11 |
| linuxguy2009 | Dallas1: Yes cause its the long term support release. | 03:12 |
| hololight | no, i just checked, dist upgrade will just bring all packages and dependencies to current. | 03:12 |

| linuxguy2009 | Dallas1: Its completely up to you. Dells website shows 8.04 for these 10 and 10v models. Not sure if a driver is included out of the box or not. All you can do is try. | 03:15 |
| xcat | i installed a minimal install of ubuntu with debootstart and then install xserver-xorg-vesa-video and then startx /usr/bin/xterm and the optimal resolution isn't auto-detected and set. what package does that? | 03:15 |
| linuxguy2009 | Dallas1: And who is to say that the next LTS release being 10.04 will even have a driver then. Might not. | 03:16 |
| Dallas1 | linuxguy: it doesn't give an error if I use http://ppa.lauchpad.net/ubuntu-mobile/ppa/ubuntu karmic main. Which option would you shoot for? | 03:16 |

| Dallas1 | linuxguy2009: right, I'm not sure where to browse to to find if the glsx-plsb package is there. | 03:21 |
| Monocian | Just because i cant find the right question to place in the search section | 03:21 |
| KurtKraut | penguincentral, there is no Tor in Ubuntu Software Centre. Please, check by yourself too. | 03:21 |
| Magnesium | Monocian: Sorry, I don't follow you.... | 03:21 |
| linuxguy2009 | Dallas1: youll have to remove all other sources and then add the new one and reload to check.' | 03:21 |
| Monocian | My problem is: ( a bit long): I got ubuntu 8.04 and it runs fine in live cd mode | 03:21 |
| penguincentral | KurtKraut: yeah, but when you search tor in the ubuntu software centre, you can see vidalia which is a tor program | 03:22 |

| emanux | how to erase empathy previous conversation | 03:22 |
| KurtKraut | penguincentral, Vidalia and Tork is only a GUI for the daemon Tor. They need the package tor installed. | 03:22 |
| Monocian | But I've just downloaded Xubuntu 9.10 and a OpenSUSE 11.2 too. I burned both of them | 03:22 |
| KurtKraut | penguincentral, which as I'm saying here, is not availuable in Ubuntu repositories | 03:22 |
| Monocian | But when I boot, they both cant run any mode ( live cd, install) and all say boot error | 03:23 |
| linuxguy2009 | Dallas1: Dont bother there are only 4 packages there for karmic. | 03:23 |
| bondy | whats the boot error | 03:23 |
| Dallas1 | linuxguy2009: Ah, gotcha. I think I'll try and go that route and if I can get it going I'll be extremely pleased. If not I'll jump back down to 8.04 and then we'll know to stick with 8.04 on the mini 10 | 03:23 |
| Dallas1 | linuxguy2009: o damn | 03:23 |

| thiebaude | !lamp | 03:25 |
| ubottu | LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 03:25 |
| Ironicus | why I can'T get it from the programe installer | 03:25 |

| mMezquitale | a_user, maybe there's a workaround, if someone knows about it they will surely reply but the problems I had with jaunty were fixed by using karmic instead of jaunty, I skipped jaunty entirely and went from Intrepid to Karmic | 03:33 |

| [TK]D-Fender | hello all, need some advice. I'm looking to clone my Ubuntu install to an SSD. sda1=WinXP, sda2=Extended "holder" which contains sda5=(NTFS data partition), sda6=LinuxSwap, sda7=linux <- last one is my Ubuntu install. I basically want to copy sda7 onto this new drive with grub modded as appropriate ont it | 03:47 |
| git__ | USB key | 03:47 |
| git__ | aka USB drive | 03:47 |
| eniacpx | FTP makes me feel stupid. If my server is set to use passive ports 63900:64000, those are the ports my system uses to send data, correct? | 03:47 |
| sebsebseb | Monocian: uh | 03:47 |
| sebsebseb | Monocian: didn't need to pm that, you could have just said here | 03:48 |
| linuxguy2009 | git__: google that youll find it. | 03:48 |
| * microlith notes that most people will not encounter a flash-erase failure on their USB key | 03:48 | |

| ubottu | Monocian, please see my private message | 03:48 |
| microlith | the erase limit for a cell tends to be in the 100,000-10,000 range | 03:48 |
| git__ | linuxguy2009, wikipedia said the current USB key drive has 1,000 write cycle | 03:48 |
| microlith | the older the device, the higher | 03:48 |
| jongbergs | [TK]D-Fender: try dd command | 03:48 |
| microlith | and it's -not- writes | 03:48 |
| Ironicus | I installed lamp, how do I use phpmyadmin? | 03:48 |
| qpoi | Iconicus: try http://localhost/phpmyadmin | 03:49 |
| git__ | there are software that makes the write cycle up to 1M | 03:49 |
| jongbergs | Ironicus: sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin | 03:49 |
| git__ | that's using software to not right on the same block | 03:49 |
| git__ | right = write | 03:49 |
| microlith | git__: it's called wear-levelling | 03:49 |
| Ironicus | it is not included in lamp? | 03:49 |
| sebsebseb | Monocian: thank you's are good to do in here | 03:49 |
| microlith | and it doesn't give you 1 million write cycles, it just spreads erases out across the drive | 03:49 |
| jongbergs | Ironicus: separate package | 03:49 |
| linuxguy2009 | git__: Your looking at RW optical technology. | 03:50 |
| git__ | right-o | 03:50 |
| [TK]D-Fender | jongbergs: I've read a bit, and most use it for cloning whole drives... I need select partitions with resizing... | 03:50 |
| * microlith works for a flash memory company :> | 03:50 | |
| git__ | i don't want my usb key drive to die on me after one year of use -- i have important data on it | 03:50 |
| jongbergs | [TK]D-Fender: then you might consider using gparted instead.. | 03:50 |
| Bllasae | is there a way to run a DVD game with Ubuntu? Splinter Cell Chaos Theory? | 03:50 |
| microlith | git__: at worst you won't be able to write to it anymore | 03:50 |
| Bllasae | and would I have to install it again? | 03:50 |
| bondy | back it up then git_ | 03:50 |
| git__ | microlith, then it becomes read-only? | 03:51 |
| microlith | yes | 03:51 |
| jongbergs | [TK]D-Fender: boot off from the live cd and start gparted thru System > Admnistration > Partition Editor | 03:51 |
| git__ | which is great! =) | 03:51 |
| Bllasae | I already installed it on my windows partition | 03:51 |
| microlith | if you can't -read- the drive, something else killed it | 03:51 |

| poseidon | I believe it's hon.sh | 03:54 |

| Warp4 | poseidon you can use 'kill <PID>' | 03:54 |
| === trevor is now known as thevor | ||

| bondy | use top to get the id | 03:54 |
| bondy | pid* | 03:54 |
| Warp4 | chea: better yet, 'sudo killall -p hon.sh' | 03:54 |
| chea | ps -ef | grep -i hon.sh | 03:55 |
| chea | for PID | 03:55 |
| [TK]D-Fender | jongbergs: my sda7 linux partition is mounted as "/" so my /boot folder is in it. what would I need to do on the new drive to get GRUB up and sane? | 03:55 |
| chea | Warp4: what does -p do? brb man page.. | 03:55 |
| linuxguy2009 | ubuntu: use dd to overwrite the first 512bytes and see if that helps. Itll erase the MBR so you can start fresh if you like if there is corruption or errors. | 03:55 |
| poseidon | chea, thanks. I think that will fix it for me. | 03:56 |
| thevor | Hey, I'm trying to use Samba to access an external harddrive via my wireless network, and I'm not quite sure what I'm doing. I've just recently installed Samba, but when I run it I don't get any sort of gui. I'm just not sure if it runs in the background, or if there is some sort of configuration that I Need to go through. | 03:56 |
| ubuntu | linuxguy whats dd? i am dual booting .. and the problem is the installer isnt recognizing my partitions properly | 03:56 |
| qpoi | thevor: it just runs as a service | 03:57 |
| linuxguy2009 | thevor: You need samba on both boxes to share back and forth and then use nautilus to set sharing. | 03:57 |
| thevor | Ah I see. | 03:57 |
| qpoi | thevor: you access the network shares via smb://192.168.1.123 for example | 03:57 |
| thief | but what's the use of this emergency shell (ctrl+alt+f1) if `ps` doesn't show the processes I'm running here in the GUI for me to kill them? | 03:57 |
| neon_ | need some help, i have a tvtuner and i can get all channels however i can't get no sound. the sound card is a realtek alc889a hda-intel-snd, any suggestions thx | 03:57 |
| thevor | linuxguy2009: What do you mean on both boxes? It needs to be installed on the external hard drive? | 03:58 |
| linuxguy2009 | neon_: Does the TV tuner have any sort of audio out jacks internal on the card or jacks on the back? | 03:58 |
| klong | can you run gimp in one window instead of all these annoying windows? | 03:58 |
| wapko | thief: try ps ax | 03:58 |
| jongberg1 | [TK]D-Fender: gparted can unmount partitions for you | 03:58 |
| wapko | thief: grep the output | 03:58 |
| qpoi | thevor: samba will access any windows network share | 03:58 |
| linuxguy2009 | thevor: Oh no. If its a hard drive with a lan connector just check your router for the connected devices local ip address. | 03:59 |
| qpoi | thevor: if the external drive is on a windows machine shared normally, smb:// will get you there | 03:59 |
| thevor | Ok great. | 03:59 |
| thevor | Thank you both for your help. I appreciate it. | 03:59 |

| jeffmr | teamcoltra, try a different router and see | 04:18 |
| acovrig | Arsin, you can edit your grub menu with "sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 04:19 |

| SeaPhor | linuxguy2009, thanx, long story, and Flannel has been following' | 04:22 |
| mMezquitale | Arsin, windows is not being picked up by grub-probe?? You have to do grub-probe and then grub-update | 04:23 |
| rikupw | gasull, not sure whats the problem, it just suddenly stopped working. did an apt-get update/etc and suddenly nothin's workin. any what the problem could be? | 04:23 |
| rikupw | well, the issue could have been there for a while, as i hadn't untar'd anything for a while. :-/ happens on both tar and tar.gz. haven't tried bzip | 04:24 |
| linuxguy2009 | neon_: If it works on your TV then I dont see why it woudnt work on that tuner. | 04:24 |
| gasull | rikupw: I don't know, but try this: sudo aptitude install --reinstall gzip | 04:25 |
| neon_ | i know, i will keep searching around, i can use OTA but only get 4 channels with my cable i get over 100 thanks for your help | 04:25 |
| chuckf | caleb2003: and this same conf file was working before? | 04:25 |
| linuxguy2009 | rikupw: Whats the problem? | 04:25 |
| rikupw | thanks gasull, i did try that i'll try that again | 04:25 |
| rikupw | error: gzip: stdin: not in gzip format tar: Child returned status 1 tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors \n i've tried uninstalling reinstalling :-/ no go. | 04:25 |
| rikupw | thats the problem | 04:25 |
| FloodBot1 | rikupw: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 04:25 |
| caleb2003 | yes I have not changed anything | 04:25 |
| rikupw | no matter what it is, bzip (just tried), tar, tar.gz, all the same error related to the compression | 04:26 |
| gasull | rikupw: also aptitude install --reinstall tar | 04:26 |
| kfizz | Does anyone know where rhythmbox saves playlists? I migrated to a new HDD and copied over my home folder hoping rhythmbox would keep its playlists but it didn't. I still have access to the old HDD though. | 04:26 |
| rikupw | thanks :-) | 04:26 |
| chuckf | caleb2003: does your log file show any errors? | 04:26 |
| gasull | rikupw: did it work now? | 04:27 |
| SeaPhor | hrm... linuxguy2009 well, i went to do fresh install of 9.10, but the partitioner doesnt see any partitions,,, i have /home on a separate part..... | 04:27 |
| linuxguy2009 | kfizz: user settings for apps are in home. | 04:27 |
| mMezquitale | Arsin, still there? My mistake, youre not supposed to edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg, run grub-probe and grub-update instead | 04:27 |
| rikupw | no, forgot to say sudo :P | 04:27 |
| kfizz | linuxguy2009, that's why I copied over the home folder from my old HDD, but it didn't copy the playlists. | 04:27 |
| linuxguy2009 | SeaPhor: You want to erase the drive completely and start fresh? | 04:27 |
| caleb2003 | chuckf: there is no log file in the etc/samba folder do you mean somewhere else? | 04:28 |
| chuckf | caleb2003: in /var/log/samba | 04:28 |
| rikupw | same error gasull :( | 04:28 |
| xcat | does anybody know what part of ubuntu detects the resolutions? like a package/program does this | 04:28 |
| linuxguy2009 | kfizz: open rhythm box and right click playlist and export to file. ;) | 04:29 |
| soreau | xcat: Depends on your graphics driver | 04:29 |
| jeffmr | xcat, probably Xorg configuration | 04:29 |
| SeaPhor | nvm linuxguy2009 ... i got this, its .. above this lvl | 04:29 |
| xcat | soraeu: what if i'm using vesa | 04:29 |
| kfizz | linuxguy2009, I was hoping to avoid having to boot into the old HDD and just copy a file over, but I guess that seems to be the only option. | 04:29 |
| soreau | xcat: Sys>Prefs>Display on recent version of ubuntu | 04:30 |
| caleb2003 | chuckf: http://pastebin.com/m74e90498 I appended it to the conf | 04:30 |
| linuxguy2009 | kfizz: Its a simple option. | 04:30 |
| rikupw | ok that worked, thanks gasull apparently i typed "tar" twice with apt-get. reinstalling gzip worked this time around. | 04:30 |
| gasull | rikupw: I'm glad :) | 04:30 |
| caleb2003 | chuckf: from line 148 | 04:30 |
| rikupw | that FloodBot1 is awesome by the way | 04:31 |
| actuallyanewb2 | hi, i'm having a tricky problem installing gtk+, atk and pango | 04:31 |
| actuallyanewb2 | will someone kindly lend me their ear? | 04:31 |
| lstarnes | actuallyanewb2: you might also need their -dev packages | 04:32 |
| drygr | :( | 04:32 |
| actuallyanewb2 | well, i successfully installed glib | 04:32 |
| chuckf | caleb2003: I'm only seeing through line 146 | 04:32 |
| lstarnes | actuallyanewb2: the libraries themselves should be installed, but ubuntu (and debian) doesn't typically install the -dev packages automatically | 04:32 |
| actuallyanewb2 | but when i ran ./configure on atk, i got this error: | 04:32 |
| === ubuntu is now known as ghufran | ||
| lstarnes | actuallyanewb2: you don't need to build those separately | 04:32 |
| lstarnes | actuallyanewb2: use the package manager instead | 04:32 |
| actuallyanewb2 | "if glib is installed but not in the same location as pkg-config add the location of the file glib-2.0.pc to the environment variable PKG_CONFIG_PATH" | 04:33 |
| teamcoltra | :P Sorry it happened again jeffmr.. I am going to try and get the channels changed, but is there anything else I can look at? | 04:33 |
| actuallyanewb2 | i checked subversion and i couldn't find gtk+, glib, atk or pango | 04:33 |
| teamcoltra | My computer connected just fine in windows... and all the other computers maintaining their connection | 04:33 |
| actuallyanewb2 | unless i'm searching for the wrong thing | 04:33 |
| ghufran | can someone help me figure out why gparted is not showing my partitions correctly? | 04:33 |
| jeffmr | teamcoltra, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessTroubleShootingGuide | 04:33 |
| caleb2003 | chuckf: try this one http://pastebin.com/m479bb976 | 04:33 |
| actuallyanewb2 | err, not subversion, synaptic | 04:34 |
| actuallyanewb2 | sorry | 04:34 |
| actuallyanewb2 | i really am actually a newb | 04:34 |
| chrionix | On my netbook, when I try and uninstall cups, it wants to uninstall Ubuntu Netbook Remix as well, anyone know why? | 04:34 |
| mMezquitale | ghufran, what do you mean? can you post a description of the problem? have you tried running gparted in a terminal using "sudo gparted"? | 04:34 |
| SeaPhor | ok, 9.04 live cd still sees my parts .. can i just re-install grub?? Flannel ? | 04:34 |
| ghufran | mMezquitale: i am trying to install ubuntu. usually it works fine but today it isnt .. it is showing 4 of my partitions and its combining the remaining 2 and labeling them 'unusable' | 04:35 |
| mMezquitale | ghufran, sounds like your hard drive has errors on it, are you using a live CD with gparted? | 04:36 |
| webbb82 | does anyone in here know about gloobus for file previews i installed it but when i run gloobus nothing hhappens | 04:38 |
| ghufran | mMezquitale: yes i am on a live cd. Its a new disk. i can do other operations just fine.. i just copied data from those partitions ... from within the live cd .. | 04:38 |
| === Ajr is now known as Ajr|afk | ||
| mMezquitale | ghufran, try updating the BIOS on your machine. Is it an old machine? | 04:39 |
| ghufran | mMezquitale: im trying to dual boot actually .. and i am thinking it might be a problem with the number of primary disks .. is there a way to find out? | 04:39 |
| ghufran | mMezquitale: its a new laptop. | 04:39 |
| mMezquitale | ghufran, how many primary disks do you have?? | 04:39 |
| mcurran | what's your issue ghufran | 04:39 |
| chrionix | ghufran: you can have 4 primary partitions | 04:39 |
| switchgirl | hi i need help my gnome-panel apeared on four sides so i removed the application (sudo aptitude remove gnome-panel) to try and sort it, (and reinstalled it) i have no menues now | 04:40 |
| mcurran | right click on desktop and select add panel - That's also how you should have removed it. | 04:40 |
| ghufran | mMezquitale: i dont know how many are primary .. gparted doesnt show it .. and even if i cant have more than 4 .. it should show me the error when i try to create more :S | 04:41 |
| switchgirl | mcurran: no luck | 04:41 |
| chrionix | ghufran: I think in the older computers there was some rule that bootable partitions had to be within a certain size of the beginning of the drive | 04:41 |
| mcurran | ghufran: It will tell you no when you click apply | 04:41 |
| ghufran | mcurran: tryig to dualboot ubuntu 9.1 with windows 7 .. partitions are not showing up correct | 04:41 |
| stephenahpohliss | could anyone plz tell me the difference between 'dir -a' and 'ls -a' | 04:41 |
| joshua___ | chronix: 9gb due to having to use int 13 to access hard disk | 04:41 |
| centHOGG | dir -a like in dos? | 04:42 |
| joshua___ | chronix: more or less gone since 2001 or so | 04:42 |
| chrionix | joshua___: yeah okay cool | 04:42 |
| mcurran | switchgirl: try right clicking where the panel would go, right at the bottom... | 04:42 |
| stephenahpohliss | yeah, i tried it in the terminal and it listed directories without colors.. | 04:42 |
| nut | I just made an installation USB drive, but when I boot to it I get a flashing cursor --- any ideas? | 04:42 |
| joshua___ | nut: ls <ENTER> | 04:43 |
| joshua___ | anything happen? | 04:43 |
| nut | joshua___: sadly no :( | 04:43 |
| BLUE_BALLS | how do i keep my mic from picking up so much static? | 04:43 |
| nut | joshua___: same with space, tab, esc, etc | 04:43 |
| joshua___ | there's a bug in debian ash that when it triggers you don't get a prompt | 04:43 |
| switchgirl | there is nothin there mcurran | 04:43 |
| joshua___ | they really ought to have fixed that | 04:43 |
| chrionix | Anyone know why when I try and uninstall cups, it wants to uninstall Ubuntu Netbook Remix as well? | 04:43 |
| joshua___ | chrionix: the remix selectes packages for that deploy mode | 04:44 |
| nut | joshua___: interesting, it works when booting to the live disk | 04:44 |
| nut | joshua___: it was only doing that when I was selecting the installation option, hmm | 04:44 |
| mcurran | Did you try reselecting the default theme under Change Desktop Background. | 04:45 |
| mMezquitale | ghufran, what is showing 4 of your partitions and combining the other 2? I am lost now | 04:45 |
| nut | I'll try installing via the installer once it's booted, then | 04:45 |
| bondy | you need t ununstall the packages individualh | 04:45 |
| bondy | *Y | 04:45 |
| BLUE_BALLS | how do i keep my mic from picking up so much static? | 04:45 |
| mMezquitale | chrionix, why would you want to uninstall cups? | 04:45 |
| switchgirl | tried that before with no luck | 04:45 |
| joshua___ | no printer perhaps | 04:45 |
| BleedinRomeo | BleedinRomeo | 04:45 |
| gooraang | #bitme | 04:46 |
| bondy | cups is only needed for printing | 04:46 |
| mMezquitale | BLUE_BALLS, first go get some, then install ubuntustudio and then get yourself a decent sound card, youll always get static without a decent sound card | 04:46 |
| gooraang | join #bitme | 04:46 |
| switchgirl | i managed to open ff by the get more themes online... thats one step | 04:46 |
| chuckf | caleb2003: the file looks right. I'm thinking that maybe there's a firewall setting or something in the network setup | 04:46 |
| jatt | any dell 1525 laptop user here | 04:46 |
| chrionix | mMezquitale: Because I'm currently in Afghanistan, have no need of a printer on my netbook, and when I update it wants to update a billion packages for cups that I don't need. | 04:46 |
| gasull | BLUE_BALLS: Applications -> Sound & Video -> Sound Recorder -> File -> Open Volume Control -> Input Maybe you can adjust it here. | 04:46 |
| BLUE_BALLS | mMezquitale, i have an msi wind netbook | 04:46 |
| joshua___ | heck remove the remix | 04:47 |
| joshua___ | I had to remove kubuntu-desktop long ago | 04:47 |
| SeaPhor | ok, 9.04 live cd still sees my partitions .. can i just re-install grub?? Flannel ? anyone? | 04:47 |
| caleb2003 | chuckf: I'm trying to access the shares from an original xbox through xbmc there is no firewall and it did work fine with KDE | 04:47 |
| joshua___ | usplash is incompatible with my hardware | 04:47 |
| ghufran | mMezquitale: this is how it looks like when i boot into windows .. Boot partition FAT16, Recovery Disk, "System Reserved 104MB", "C:", then G: and H: | 04:47 |
| SeaPhor | bazhang, ? | 04:47 |
| mMezquitale | BLUE_BALLS, I will refer you to my previous comment, there are USB sound cards out there as well | 04:47 |
| ghufran | on gparted, the last 2 are not there .. instead, theres just 'unusable' partition equal in size of both of them combined .. | 04:49 |
| chuckf | are the ports open on the samba server? | 04:49 |
| mMezquitale | chrionix, what you want to do is disable cups or make it so that cups gets ignored by update-manager, that is the question you want to ask, if someone knows the answer they will surely reply, if you know how to use google search for the criteria I just mentioned, I have never tried it myself | 04:49 |
| caleb2003 | chuckf: yes | 04:50 |
| chrionix | mMezquitale: Yeah, I'm currently looking for that as we speak, It just interested me that uninstalling cups wanted to uninstall unr, thought I'd ask why | 04:50 |
| anom01y | anyone here use recordmydesktop ? | 04:50 |
| caleb2003 | nothings changed except for the desktop, I'm guessing its a quirk of the gnome | 04:50 |
| anom01y | I am having troubles figuring out what to put in the 'device' section to get the sound working in gtk-recordmydesktop | 04:51 |
| anom01y | I tried 'ALSA' but it does not work | 04:51 |
| chuckf | I'd say the next step is strip down the smb.conf and build it til it breaks | 04:51 |
| caleb2003 | ok, i'll have a play, thanks for checking | 04:52 |
| jercos | Thought I'd drop by and give you guys an update: my direct dist-upgrade from intrepid to karmic seems to be sorted, apparently support for this card was dropped in a more recent fglrx, so I baleeted xorg.conf and everything works great now. | 04:52 |
| ghufran | is there a way to figure out what primary partitions i have? | 04:52 |
| chrionix | ghufran: you're going to have to repartition your whole hard drive, you need to make the excess drives logical | 04:52 |
| jercos | Thanks to FireCrotch for the pointer in the direction of Xorg >.> | 04:52 |
| crohakon | So, I have never been able to get my headphone jack to work... and I think I released why... my laptop, when in windows, uses Nvidia sound drives... Any information on how I can use these in ubuntu? | 04:52 |
| mMezquitale | chrionix, looks like it's tied to the distribution somehow, I've been wanting to beta test mixxx in ubuntustudio but it wont let me uninstall mixxx, i have to uninstall the whole damn dang, do me a favor and say hella to your local haji | 04:52 |
| chrionix | mMezquitale: lol, wilco | 04:52 |
| ghufran | chrionix: i fear i might need to .. but i first need to see how many primary partitions do i have | 04:53 |
| chrionix | ghufran: I think from memory the extended partition shows up in gparted as the size of the logical partitions combined | 04:53 |
| yrlnry | For some reason all my videos are playing with the colors reversed. | 04:54 |
| chrionix | ghufran: extended partition being like a container that logicals sit in | 04:54 |
| yrlnry | This affects mplayer, and also videos that play embedded in firefox, but not flash video. | 04:54 |
| yrlnry | What is going on and how do I fix it? | 04:54 |
| chrionix | ghufran: I would recommend backing up your hard drives, making a plan on how you want your partitions to look, the rebuilding the partition table | 04:55 |
| mMezquitale | chrionix, not exactly, if he has exceeded the max amount of primary hard drive ghufran has to delete one primary hard drive and create one logical hard drive, within the logical hard drive he can create as many extended partitions as he needs | 04:55 |
| draconis | yrlnry, sounds an awful lot like a trashed gstreamer | 04:55 |
| yrlnry | Why so? | 04:56 |
| mMezquitale | ghufran, can you boot up into a live CD with gparted and tell us what gparted sees?? | 04:56 |
| chrionix | mMezquitale: yeah I know, but in my experience, that always turns out sloppy, I always tend to recreate a partition table so it's neatly ordered :P it could be due to OCD though :P | 04:56 |
| draconis | well, if mplayer is not using gstreamer, it's one of the underlying libraries | 04:56 |
| ghufran | chrionix: yes i know .. i could do that .. and it might not be the problem were thinking it is . . and all my installations go down the drain .. | 04:56 |
| draconis | yrlnry, apparently not every video player is broken, since Flash isn't | 04:56 |
| ghufran | mMezquitale: yes i can ... is there a place i can post a screenshot? | 04:56 |
| draconis | but flash has separate libraries for everything so it "just works" | 04:56 |
| mMezquitale | !screenshot | 04:57 |
| ubottu | Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button. Want to show us a screenshot of your problem? Upload an image to http://tinyurl.com/imagebin and post a link to it. | 04:57 |
| music_freak | test | 04:57 |
| mMezquitale | the test didnt work, install ubuntustudio for better results | 04:58 |
| SeaPhor | someone plz tell me that the 9.10 live cd partitioner has a known bug that it doesnt recognize some hdd /partitions??? i am stuck on the 9.04 live cd which does see my partitions, but after using the 9.10 alternate cd that WIPED OUT my 9.04 installation... | 04:58 |
| ghufran | mMezquitale, chrionix: http://imagebin.org/72405 | 04:58 |
| mMezquitale | SeaPhor, if that is the case I suggest you post a bug report | 04:59 |
| draconis | SeaPhor, you can't boot from 9.10? | 04:59 |
| mMezquitale | ghufran, what did you do?!? you have 4 primary partitions, you cant create more partitions. | 05:00 |
| SeaPhor | draconis, yes, and can go to live session, start the installer and it gets to the partitioner and it dont see any partitions | 05:00 |
| chrionix | ghufran: yeah, exactly your problem, you've used up all your partitions | 05:00 |
| draconis | SeaPhor, that sounds an awful lot like RedHat's "smart" partition detection | 05:00 |
| yrlnry | draconis: I ran gstreamer-properties and ran the output test, and the test pattern looks fine. | 05:01 |
| ghufran | mMezquitale: where does it say they are primary?!??!? | 05:01 |
| mMezquitale | ghufran, why is sda1 41MB and using fat16?!? | 05:01 |
| chrionix | ghufran: if you delete the last one, you can create an extended partition with all that extra space as well | 05:01 |
| SeaPhor | draconis, i'm on the 9.04 live cd now, and does see the parts | 05:01 |
| === jongberg1 is now known as jongbergs | ||

| === FlareFlare183 is now known as Flare-Laptop | ||
| phongphrai | hello, who can help me install a tar.bz2 software please? | 05:02 |
| draconis | does look like the partition table is screwed up some how | 05:02 |
| draconis | SeaPhor, ^ | 05:02 |
| mMezquitale | ghufran, because they are "partitions", they are "primary" partitions. If it's not a "primary" partition it will be labed "extended" | 05:02 |
| ghufran | mMezquitale: that 41MB is by our DELL friends .. came out of the box. chrionix: cant delete the last one .. its the windows partition .. and the one before that .. with size 104MB is also created by stupid windows 7 | 05:02 |
| jongbergs | phongphrai: u need to extract the package | 05:03 |
| jongbergs | phongphrai: it's a compressed tarball | 05:03 |
| mMezquitale | omg I think we have found redmond attempting to make users to use only windows7 | 05:03 |
| phongphrai | jongbergs, ok and then? | 05:03 |
| chrionix | ghufran : I would re-iterate you need to backup and wipe, create your partitions with gparted first | 05:03 |
| jongbergs | phongphrai: using nautilus, right clik on the file select extract here | 05:04 |
| phongphrai | its done already | 05:04 |
| jongbergs | phongphrai: what software is that? | 05:04 |
| mMezquitale | ghufran, are you able to install windows7 in your harddrive? | 05:04 |
| syrius | is that ubuntu 9.10 slow internet bug fixed yet? | 05:04 |
| chrionix | ghufran: windows is like a hammer to partitions man, it just steamrolls anything in it's way | 05:04 |
| SeaPhor | draconis, i had 9.04 installed and working no prob,, i never "upgrade" i always do fresh install, but the 9.10 live didn't see my partitions so Flannel suggested the alt cd,,, well that wiped me out and cant boot my original, thats why i'm on the 9.04 live session | 05:04 |
| phongphrai | jongbergs, BRL-CAD..i cant find any configure or autogen script | 05:04 |
| ghufran | mMezquitale: yea maybe they are .. i already have windows 7 installed .. with loads of installations .. | 05:05 |
| === Ajr|afk is now known as Ajr | ||
| jongbergs | phongphrai: what are the contents of the package? | 05:05 |
| crohakon | syrius, is IPv6 enabled? I know when I was running OpenSUSE I had really slow internet until I disabled IPv6. Then everything was great. | 05:05 |
| draconis | SeaPhor, if you can't boot from the 9.10 install that you did with the alt cd, then it sounds like a Grub2 problem | 05:06 |
| ghufran | ok then .. it looks like there is no other solution .. i guess ubuntu will have to wait while i back up | 05:06 |
| phongphrai | jongbergs, many folders and files of differents kind | 05:06 |
| mMezquitale | ghufran, but are you able to reinstall windows7? | 05:06 |
| phongphrai | jongbergs, 3800 files | 05:06 |
| === as5sin3 is now known as chrizthop | ||
| SeaPhor | draconis, the alt cd install hung, but apparently wiped out my original... | 05:07 |
| jongbergs | phongphrai: does it come with documentation? im pretty sure the website from which you obtained the software provide a kind of installation intructions | 05:07 |
| ghufran | mMezquitale: i think i should be able to .. didnt try it out .. why ? that might be a problem too? | 05:07 |
| phongphrai | jongbergs, the doc says to type ./configure but there no such file in the whole archive | 05:08 |
| jongbergs | SeaPhor: what do u mean wiped out? i thought your proble has been resolved already? | 05:08 |
| Dallas1 | linuxguy: are you here? | 05:08 |
| draconis | SeaPhor, well, did you try reinstalling? | 05:09 |
| mMezquitale | ghufran, I mean if you have a CD and valid license, you should be able to reinstall windows7 but I suggest you google for windows7 and ubuntu, what you want to do is delete all those little partitions and create a partition for windows7 and then create an extended partition, just to be safe | 05:09 |
| sumeetbali | SodaPhish,you online? | 05:09 |
| SeaPhor | jongbergs, what on earth would make you think that my issue has been resolved??? its only compounded now...?? | 05:09 |
| ghufran | mMezquitale: yes. thats what im going to do. | 05:09 |
| jongbergs | phongphrai: ok, i get it, the package contains the source files..therefore you need to go to terminal go to where you extracted the package and type ./configure | 05:09 |
| chrionix | ghufran: and make your boot partition ext2 or something, fat16 boot partitions are just nasty :P | 05:09 |
| SeaPhor | draconis, reinstalling what? 9.04? | 05:09 |
| sumeetbali | SodaPhish,you online? | 05:10 |
| mMezquitale | ghufran, i suppose now you know what a primary partition looks like? | 05:10 |
| draconis | SeaPhor, well, if it works better than 9.10 (which didn't) | 05:10 |
| flan_suse | This is actually a Linux Mint Helena issue, but it's related to Karmic. I followed the guide to install to an encrypted root partition, and so I tried it out on a virtual machine. When I reboot, I am dropped to a recovery shell that says "ALERT! /dev/mapper/croot does not exist" | 05:10 |
| ghufran | chrionix: i dont think i can do that .. the recovery disk and all might never boot again.. | 05:10 |
| flan_suse | However, I can then use cryptsetup to unlock the encrypted partition and then resume booting. | 05:10 |
| ghufran | atleast i dont know how to do it :P | 05:10 |
| vmubuntu | Why doesn't this command work in the Linux Mint 7 terminal: sudo apt-get install vmware-player-kernel-modules | 05:11 |
| Dallas1 | I've got the installer for 8.04.3 running on my netbook through flash-drive, and I'm at the part where it asks you to install cd-rom drivers to complete the installation, how would I direct it to install from the usb drive instead of the cd-rom(which doesn't exist) | 05:11 |
| phongphrai | jongbergs, bash says no such file or foler | 05:11 |
| flan_suse | Why is this not done automatically? And what can I do so that it is automatic and asks for my LUKS password, rather than falling to a recovery shell? | 05:11 |
| chrionix | ghufran: yeah, I wonder what that unkown partition is, it's weird that linux doesn't recognise it, I thought it recognised everything | 05:11 |
| flan_suse | Dallas1, you need to copy a modified image on the USB stick. | 05:12 |
| chrionix | ghufran: if it weren't for that fact you have an 'unkown' partition, I would say grub would be able to boot from your recovery partition, but maybe not in this case | 05:12 |
| flan_suse | Dallas1, is it the alternate installer? | 05:12 |
| ghufran | chrionix: that unknown is actually two partitions | 05:12 |
| jongbergs | !info brlcad | 05:12 |
| cellofellow | What's the point of encrypting executable code? I use ecryptfs for my encryption. | 05:12 |
| ubottu | Package brlcad does not exist in karmic | 05:12 |
| Dallas1 | flan:yes | 05:12 |
| mcurran | yeah, linux needs write support for HFS+ | 05:12 |
| cellofellow | brl-cad is the DoD's 3D CAD app. | 05:13 |
| cellofellow | But I don't think it's been packaged. | 05:13 |
| flan_suse | Dallas1, I thought so. | 05:13 |
| woodyjlw | my bottom panel on 9.04 is gone and cant find it. how do I get it back ? | 05:13 |
| phongphrai | ubottu, how can i install the software then? | 05:13 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 05:13 |
| jongbergs | cellofellow: can you help out phongphrai problem? | 05:13 |
| flan_suse | Dallas1, yeah, I had to go through the same thing. You need to get a copy of the modified image to throw onto the stick. | 05:13 |
| yrlnry | draconis: problem turns out to be with nvidia video driver. Described here: http://forums.opensuse.org/applications/multimedia/405120-videos-show-reverse-colors.html | 05:13 |
| cellofellow | phongphrai: jongbergs: sure | 05:13 |
| yrlnry | draconis: thanks for your help. | 05:13 |
| noneNN | Im having problems installing ubuntu in a netbook, I have a bangho netbook B-NOX1, and Im trying to install ubuntu via USB pendrive, the bios says it can boot from USB HDD, but It doesnt detect the usb drive, Ive tried booting from the pendrive with other machine and it works perfect, Im wondering if could be a pendrive size issue, its 8gb... should I try with a smaller one? | 05:13 |
| bazhang | !resetpanels | woodyjlw | 05:13 |
| ubottu | woodyjlw: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 05:13 |
| jongbergs | cellofellow: he wasn't able to run ./configure | 05:13 |
| woodyjlw | thanks :) | 05:14 |
| Dallas1 | flan:ugh, where do I get that? Why can't intel just support linux and release open source drivers so I can use 9.10 | 05:14 |
| Dallas1 | ? | 05:14 |
| jongbergs | woodyjlw: you can just press alt+f2 to type the command | 05:14 |
| draconis | yrlnry, yw, glad you figured it out | 05:14 |
| chrionix | noneNN: Is it set to boot the pendrive automatically? Or do you have to press esc or whatever, to go into a boot menu? | 05:14 |
| phongphrai | well, unless anyone have i better suggestion...i want to be able to draw mecanicals and houses | 05:15 |
| flan_suse | Dallas1, one second. I think I have it in my bookmarks. | 05:15 |
| noneNN | chrionix, ive tried both ways and it didnt work out | 05:15 |
| greezmunkey | Question on new install, I have two drives installed, manualy built "/" on the 80GB drive with 64GB available, same drive has 4GB swap, I built /home on drive 2 with 20GB available, will what work? | 05:15 |
| jongbergs | phongphrai: how come it doesn't have configure file in it..did you verify the downloaded package? | 05:15 |
| woodyjlw | it worked! lol too easy but im still learning :) thanks | 05:15 |
| mMezquitale | Dallas1, because all the hardware vendors want to make it a secret as to how their hardware works | 05:15 |
| chrionix | noneNN: that's weird, are you sure the pendrive is bootable? | 05:16 |
| B166er-X | gasull i dont get how to install doubletwist on virtual box ... .dmg ? is there something i'm missing ? | 05:16 |
| noneNN | chrionix, yes, i can boot it in my notebook | 05:16 |
| phongphrai | theres only one place to download it...does anyone on earth as ever tried a cad software downloaded from internet and install it on ubuntu?? | 05:16 |
| cellofellow | BRL-CAD doesn't seem to be an easy one to install. | 05:16 |
| Dallas1 | mMezquitale: even if it renders their hardware useless to thousands? | 05:16 |
| mMezquitale | greezmunkey, yes, it will work | 05:16 |
| Dallas1 | phogphrai: have you used blender? | 05:17 |
| mMezquitale | Dallas1, yup yup | 05:17 |
| jh2os | hey, got a question about flash | 05:17 |
| jh2os | flash player | 05:17 |
| cellofellow | phongphrai: might want to vote for this brainstorm http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/9318/ | 05:17 |
| mMezquitale | !ask | jh2os | 05:17 |
| ubottu | jh2os: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 05:17 |
| phongphrai | Dallas1, is it in ubuntu repository? | 05:17 |
| chrionix | noneNN: Okay, so it's definately a problem with the bios on your netbook, does pressing escape during boot up present you with a boot menu? | 05:17 |
| jh2os | Flash applications are unresponsive when clicked | 05:18 |
| Dallas1 | phogphrai: it should be. let me check | 05:18 |
| jh2os | sometimes they work and others they dont | 05:18 |
| mcurran | Does anyone know a xorg.conf tweak so my ancient ATI 3D RAGE LT PRO will have better video playback in firefox (mpeg, wmv, etc.) | 05:18 |
| lstarnes | jh2os: are you using the 64-bit version? | 05:18 |
| greezmunkey | mMezquitale, thanks, it runs well so far. I figured the root filesystem will be taken up with additional progs, while databases etc will live on /home | 05:18 |
| scott_ino2 | oh heavens pixelize is broken | 05:18 |
| jh2os | is it a problem with the Ubuntu/firefox pakage? | 05:18 |
| cellofellow | phongphrai: where'd you download brl-cad? brlcad.org has a Linux binary and the source. I'd try both (in that order). | 05:19 |
| gasull | B166er-X: virtualbox-ose + Windows + doubletwist | 05:19 |
| lstarnes | jh2os: there is a known issue with the 64-bit package for flash | 05:19 |
| cellofellow | And read the docs. Really that's all I can say. | 05:19 |
| ssmy | anyone have an idea how to find out if my ethernet is gigabit? hwinfo isn't telling me, at least. | 05:19 |
| scott_ino2 | lstarnes, what's the known issue | 05:19 |
| jh2os | yea i got 64 bit | 05:19 |
| noneNN | chrionix, yeah i mean i can go into the menus and select all usb entries and none of them will work | 05:19 |
| flan_suse | Dallas1, still looking. | 05:19 |
| mMezquitale | greezmunkey, just make sure you specify the correct hard drives when you install, if you have any issues come back | 05:19 |
| lstarnes | scott_ino2: clicking on flash applets sometimes fails | 05:19 |
| cellofellow | phongphrai: have you tried qcad? | 05:19 |
| greezmunkey | mMezquitale, all I need to do now is hack an access point to go from wireless to ethernet in the garage and I'm good. | 05:19 |
| electricTape | sup guys. First time linux user here. How do I install adobe flash. Do I choose the YUM version and then use package manager? | 05:20 |
| scott_ino2 | lstarnes, ahh i see | 05:20 |
| lstarnes | electricTape: are you using ubuntu? | 05:20 |
| gasull | B166er-X: If you use doubletwist you can copy from/to your ipod and use it in other computers too. Sadly you need to install Windows in VirtualBox for this. | 05:20 |
| mcurran | No, choose the deb package | 05:20 |
| jongbergs | ssmy: lspci -v | 05:20 |
| Dallas1 | phogphrai: blender is in the repository. I used it a little for some 3d modelling last month, it's extremely powerfull. Just has a bit of a learning curve | 05:20 |
| jh2os | deb version | 05:20 |
| electricTape | yes ubuntu | 05:20 |
| greezmunkey | mMezquitale, I have it up already, but could rip it apart if needed. | 05:20 |
| B166er-X | gasull , yah, got this part ;) i installed Windows Xp on a partition with virtual box, but i do not have any 'internet connection' or USB support on it , so i | 05:20 |
| mMezquitale | greezmunkey, at one point I had the same swap used by 3 different versions of ubuntu until karmic was released, off course off course | 05:20 |
| jongbergs | ssmy: or lshw -c network | 05:20 |
| lstarnes | electricTape: ubuntu doesn't use YUM | 05:20 |
| phongphrai | cellofellow, i dowloaded from http://brlcad.org/d/download | 05:20 |
| B166er-X | gasull ok, doubletwist is a windows app ? | 05:20 |
| Dallas1 | electrictape: just get it from synaptic package manager. | 05:20 |
| SeaPhor | lstarnes, is there a known issue with the 9.10 live installer's partitioner not seeing any partitions? | 05:20 |
| cellofellow | phongphrai: which version? The Linux or the Source? | 05:20 |
| gasull | B166er-X: yes | 05:20 |
| lstarnes | electricTape: look for flashplugin in synaptic | 05:20 |
| ssmy | jongbergs: thanks, forgot that existed. | 05:20 |
| lstarnes | SeaPhor: I don't know | 05:21 |
| lstarnes | SeaPhor: I'm still using 8.04 | 05:21 |
| chrionix | noneNN: I don't know what to tell you man, what happens when you boot from the pendrive? | 05:21 |
| jongbergs | ssmy: no probs :) | 05:21 |
| scott_ino2 | anyone tested flash-plugin 10.1 | 05:21 |
| gasull | B166er-X: another possibility is VirtualBox + hackintosh + doubletwist | 05:21 |
| greezmunkey | mMezquitale, I am a bit concerned with allocating 4GB for swap, but I plan to bring this box up to 4GB of ram soon, so it should be ok me thinks... | 05:21 |
| draconis | B166er-X, just.. probably a little easier to crack the thing and install ssh | 05:21 |
| draconis | B166er-X, then you can access the iPod like a normal computer, send files, etc | 05:21 |
| B166er-X | draconis, its brand new, and i dont want to screw the warranty | 05:21 |
| phongphrai | cellofellow, brlcad_7.10.4_ia32.tar.bz2 | 05:22 |
| mcurran | jailbreaking an iphone does not ruin warranty just flash back if you need to | 05:22 |
| noneNN | chrionix, im my notebook its boots perfectly, and so in other computers, but the issue is with the the netbook, but i dont know if its somehitng about size of pendrive and bios compability... | 05:22 |
| Dallas1 | actually, if I could somehow diagnose this random lockup I wouldn't need to downgrade from 9.04 to 8.04.3 | 05:22 |
| mcurran | that's why you save the firmware | 05:22 |
| mMezquitale | greezmunkey, swap depends on how much memory you have, I have never noticed swap being used on my laptop with 2 gigs of memory | 05:22 |
| SeaPhor | lstarnes, thank you, that's the first honest answer i've seen all night. and btw, on my main boxes,, so am I | 05:22 |
| roger_ | hello anyone how to backup blackberry data on ubuntu 9.10 | 05:22 |
| cellofellow | phongphrai: that's a binary download. If you untar it there should be a file you can just run (though I'm not sure). Once you get it running you're on your own, I have no idea how to use CAD software. | 05:23 |
| mMezquitale | !blackberry | 05:23 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about blackberry | 05:23 |
| lstarnes | SeaPhor: I am pretty sure I have seen other valid answers | 05:23 |
| chrionix | noneNN: It really shouldn't be that, netbooks are very recent creatures, I'm sure any bios will handle an 8gb stick | 05:23 |
| mcurran | whatever, same difference | 05:23 |
| wuyan | Who received a CD-ROM?? | 05:23 |
| cellofellow | phongphrai: if it doesn't work the try downloading and compiling the Source package from the same webpage. | 05:23 |
| lstarnes | SeaPhor: I honestly haven't done anything to help you beyond saying that I don't know how to help you | 05:23 |
| SeaPhor | lstarnes, sorry, i mainly meant to my questions | 05:23 |
| Dallas1 | roger: opensync? | 05:23 |
| flan_suse | Dallas1, any reason not to try 9.10? | 05:23 |
| mMezquitale | roger_, backing up your blackberry is a topic I would rather you use a forum instead of the support channel | 05:24 |
| greezmunkey | mMezquitale, yeah, the server box currently has 512MB ram, 146MB free, 0 swap, but it's really not doing anything right now. | 05:24 |
| Dallas1 | roger: or barrybackup-gui | 05:24 |
| phongphrai | cellofellow, extracting the file brlcad_7.10.4_ia32.tar.bz2 gives me a folder containing 2800 files with a doc that doesnt apply properly to how install | 05:24 |
| noneNN | chrionix, mmm i havent tried with another pendrive... it could be the pendrive too... ive seen some guys having similar problems on the web | 05:24 |
| lstarnes | SeaPhor: someone else here might know, but you're the first user that I've heard about that issue from | 05:24 |
| jongbergs | SeaPhor: try using the same karmic cd then go straight installing ubuntu from the install menu | 05:24 |
| chrionix | noneNN: Does the pendrive actually come up in the boot menu? | 05:24 |
| mMezquitale | greezmunkey, smoke 'em if you got 'em, I would use 1 gig for swap though but if you already have the partition then just go ahead with the install | 05:24 |
| Dallas1 | flan: the driver isn't made for 9.1 | 05:24 |
| jongbergs | SeaPhor: don't use the live session for now.. | 05:25 |
| cellofellow | phongphrai: BRLCAD is still very much an in-house Department of Defese project, so they've obviously neglected some things that third party users need like docs and an installation script. | 05:25 |
| mMezquitale | roger_, i have read it is possible though unlike my htc mogul | 05:25 |
| chrionix | noneNN: I'm not talking about going into the bios, I'm talking about a little menu that pops up, and gives you a choice of bootable media found | 05:25 |
| Dallas1 | flan: the graphics driver | 05:25 |
| mcurran | If you're going to install to a pendrive/usb, I would recommend doing a live persistent install rather than a regular install. Then you can save changes and also use it on other computers two | 05:25 |
| lstarnes | jh2os: if you are using compiz, try disabling it | 05:25 |
| phongphrai | cellofellow, i see...besides qcad is only 2D | 05:25 |
| lstarnes | jh2os: I've heard that many other users with the same issue fixed it temporarily by disabling compiz | 05:26 |
| cellofellow | phongphrai: search "cad" in synaptic, there's a half-dozen other packages you can try. | 05:26 |
| Dallas1 | flan: I don't think there's alot of functionality for it in 9.04 but it's working right now, it just locks up after 10 minutes or so of use. | 05:26 |
| noneNN | chrionix, yes, but it doesnt detect the pendrive i can only see the sata driev | 05:26 |
| flan_suse | Dallas1, can you write down the exact message it gives you? | 05:26 |
| jh2os | hmmm ok | 05:26 |
| flan_suse | Dallas1, I can't find my bookmark, and I don't know the phrase to help find it. | 05:26 |
| cellofellow | phongphrai: and if you don't need true CAD functionality, like the ability to drive a CNC machine or the like, then maybe a 3D modeller like Blender would do the job. | 05:26 |
| chrionix | noneNN: ahh okay | 05:27 |
| jh2os | Why cant it be installed from the site though, says it has a building error when the installer comes up? | 05:27 |
| flan_suse | Dallas1, I have been through this before, and the solution worked, but I can't seem to find the link again. | 05:27 |
| phongphrai | cellofellow, ok i will try this now | 05:27 |
| krishna | Hi | 05:27 |
| Dallas1 | flan: I don't even know if the lockup is a graphics issue, because my mouse will work, but the OS and whatever program I have open is unresponsive. I've let it sit for an hour with no changes | 05:27 |
| === inexia is now known as wease| | ||
| flan_suse | Dallas1, I mean the message you get when trying to install via a USB stick | 05:28 |
| krishna | is there a guiway to reinstall grub that gets lost after windows install ? i read the help page of ubuntu site.. its all command line... users who switch from windows always want only the GUI way of doing this ... is it really a possible exisiting answer for this ? | 05:28 |
| chrionix | noneNN: have you got another pendrive you can try? | 05:28 |
| mcurran | Dallas1: Are you installing to a USB or from a USB | 05:28 |
| git__ | hello ubuntu experts | 05:28 |
| Dallas1 | flan: oh, yeah. I'd rather use 9.04 if anyone knows a work around for this random freezing issue. | 05:28 |
| flan_suse | mcurran, he's trying to install from a USB to a netbook, with an Alternate Install. | 05:29 |
| Dallas1 | mcurran: from | 05:29 |
| SeaPhor | lstarnes, the problem seems to be that all is different now, used to be that the knowledgeable ppl answered and the inexperienced ppl asked .. and this was watched, now the inexperienced are answering without any checks- i watched as someone explained in detail how to enable the root user and passwd the other day, which when i first joined here would have got me banned,,, there seems to be a gap here | 05:29 |
| faryshta | chrionix, on what kind of computer you are trying to install karmic? | 05:29 |
| noneNN | chrionix, an mp3 player but im worried i might have the mp3 player software if i format it | 05:29 |
| mcurran | Are you getting a grub error 17 | 05:29 |
| flan_suse | mcurran, problem is, it looks for a CD Rom drive, which doesn't exist, but there's a modified boot image that overrides this and allows the installation to continue from the USB stick. | 05:29 |
| chrionix | faryshta: I'm not trying, noneNN is | 05:29 |
| Dallas1 | mcurran: what flan said | 05:30 |
| git__ | anyone know how to remove ad inside a streamlining flash clip or movie? | 05:30 |
| chrionix | noneNN: yeah, I wouldn't advise using that | 05:30 |
| mcurran | OK | 05:30 |
| faryshta | sorry. noneNN on what kind of computer you are trying to install Karmic? | 05:30 |
| greezmun1ey | mMezqitale, irc from the server... | 05:30 |
| === UniSpades is now known as whatonearthartth | ||
| mcurran | So does it boot up from USB or not yet | 05:30 |
| === greezmun1ey is now known as greezmunkey_ | ||
| chrionix | SeaPhor: I agree with you totally, but it seems like the knowledgeable people have given up helping, so it's left to the dumbasses like myself to try and help :P | 05:30 |
| Dallas1 | mcurran: it will boot. It gets to the portion where | 05:30 |
| noneNN | faryshta, its a bangho netbook b-nox1, its a netbook from argentina... it has intel chip phoenix bios | 05:30 |
| SeaPhor | i'm with you chrionix | 05:31 |
| mcurran | where... | 05:31 |
| flan_suse | mcurran, it looks for a CD-ROM drive, which doesn't exist, but there's a modified boot image that overrides this and allows the installation to continue from the USB stick. | 05:31 |
| Dallas1 | mcurran: you install the cd-rom to start installation. and since it isn't a cd-rom. There's nowhere to go | 05:31 |
| faryshta | noneNN, when I installed Ubuntu on my netbook I had to ask a friend to lend me a USB-CD-DRIVE. I haven't figure out how to install Ubuntu in flash drives, sorry. | 05:31 |
| flan_suse | mcurran, I was able to get around this by putting a modified boot image onto the USB stick, and it worked. | 05:31 |
| phongphrai | cellofellow, looks usefull thank you | 05:32 |
| flan_suse | mcurran, I just forget where to find this modified image, even though I'm sure I bookmarked it. | 05:32 |
| skpl | hi, can someone tell me how to use the emerald window manager without going through compiz-fusion? | 05:32 |
| cellofellow | phongphrai: what is, sorry? Blender? | 05:32 |
| phongphrai | yes | 05:32 |
| phongphrai | but i wonder if i can draw my house with details inside | 05:32 |
| Dallas1 | I'd really rather work with 9.04 now that I do have it working somewhat. I wish I could figure out the locking up issue if any people have experience with that. | 05:32 |
| flan_suse | Dallas1, and you said Karmic doesn't support your video card? | 05:32 |
| mcurran | tell grub, syslinux, or whatever where the real image is - which would be in the modified bootloaders configuration file | 05:33 |
| noneNN | faryshta, so u had same problem? did u use netbootin or any software like that? | 05:33 |
| electricTape | hey guys. Im running ubuntu. I installed Compiz but I don't have a Compiz preferences option when I go to system > preferences. What am I doing wrong? | 05:33 |
| cellofellow | phongphrai: glad it helped. There's been some talk I've seen online of adding CAD features to Blender, but it's a bit in the future. | 05:33 |
| chrionix | SeaPhor: and if you take openprojects/freenode as a whole, #ubuntu has drastically brought down the exclusivity of the place. It's turned into a newbie farm | 05:33 |
| hlfshell | crap - forgot - wheres the sources.list stored? | 05:33 |
| faryshta | noneNN, no I asked a friend to lend me a USB-CD-DRIVE. | 05:33 |
| skpl | hi, can someone tell me how to use the emerald window manager without going through compiz-fusion? | 05:33 |
| lstarnes | hlfshell: /etc/apt | 05:33 |
| centHOGG | n00b farm? | 05:33 |
| hlfshell | thank you lstarnes | 05:33 |

| cellofellow | phongphrai: it'll be fun, that's for sure | 05:34 |
| lstarnes | sumeetbali: this channel is for ubuntu only | 05:34 |
| Dallas1 | flan: unless you know of a poulsbo driver for karmic | 05:34 |
| SeaPhor | thats why i started my own channel chrionix | 05:34 |
| anom01y | trying to get the sound to record in recordmydesktop is seriously difficult | 05:34 |

| lstarnes | faryshta: which version of ubuntu? I'm using 8.04 on a dual-core 64-bit system | 05:35 |
| skpl | is there anyway to use emerald without going through compiz? | 05:35 |
| chrionix | SeaPhor: yeah, I'm not really in a position to loiter in irc chans atm, I just come on as required | 05:35 |

| git__ | is there a way to password protect a directory -- i have one account and need password protection to only one directory so that my sisters can't view it accidently when she's using my account | 05:36 |
| lstarnes | faryshta: the number of provessors shouldn't affect whether or not it can be installed | 05:36 |
| mcurran | Dallas1: So did you understand what I said, you probably have the bootloader's kernel line and image entry pointing to /dev/cdrom0 instead of the USB drive | 05:36 |
| faryshta | Does anyone here could install Karmic 64 bits in a dual-core 64 bits processor? | 05:36 |
| flan_suse | Dallas1, I found it. | 05:36 |
| faryshta | lstarnes, I know it shouldn't... yet it does. | 05:36 |
| Dallas1 | mcurran: I have no idea. | 05:36 |
| Dallas1 | flan:excellent! | 05:37 |
| lstarnes | faryshta: if isn't working, then its probably something else making it not work | 05:37 |
| lstarnes | faryshta: having a dual-core system almost certainly wouldn't cause issues | 05:37 |
| SeaPhor | chrionix, well, i'm now stuck on a 9.04 live cd... so i'm looking for any assistance i can get, lol | 05:37 |
| mcurran | find out what bootloader the image is using, (probably syslinux) - mount the usb with 9.04 and modify the syslinux config file as appropriate | 05:37 |
| flan_suse | Dallas1, it's for 8.04, Hardy, right? | 05:37 |
| faryshta | lstarnes, I checked every corner, every test, everything I could think including md5, testing other machines and burn 4x. | 05:37 |
| faryshta | lstarnes, yet it DOES cause issues. | 05:38 |

| lstarnes | faryshta: have you checked for related bug reports on launchpad? | 05:38 |
| electricTape | hey guys. WHats the best dock for ubuntu? | 05:38 |
| flan_suse | Dallas1, download the initrd and vmlinuz files. | 05:38 |
| faryshta | lstarnes, you can try. Burn Karmic 64 and try to start a liveCD on your dual-core processor. | 05:38 |
| mcurran | There isn't a config file for the kernel | 05:38 |
| faryshta | lstarnes, yes there is a bug report on launchpad for my model of machine. I don't know if it affect just my model or every dual-core. | 05:39 |

| faryshta | lstarnes, there is. | 05:42 |
| lstarnes | faryshta: it's probably an issue specific to your model, but it might be a good idea to get an opinion from someone else | 05:42 |

| faryshta | RPG_Master, this will make me sound like a douche bag but have you tried checking the sound in the configurations of Gnome (or KDE). | 05:54 |

| bobofosho13 | i need some help, i've deleted a partitition containing ubuntu on my laptop in windows, and i re-formatted it so windows would recognize as a seperate partition on the hdd, but whenever i boot up my pc now, the GRUB loader that i had for the dual-boot gives me "error 17" | 05:55 |

| bobofosho13 | can someone help me? | 05:55 |
| SeaPhor | jongbergs, its not my individual issue that is the problem, i'll fix my issues, but ,,,just "have fun" and nvm ;-) | 05:55 |
| RPG_Master | mcurran: Wait, we're both talking about Aleph One right? | 05:55 |
| mcurran | Because you deleted grub's files also | 05:55 |
| jrib | bobofosho13: what operating systems do you have installed now? Just windows? | 05:55 |
| bobofosho13 | yeah just windows xp pro sp2 | 05:55 |

| chd1 | I was wondering if anyone knew how to install aujuntu, or what it was called, the c++ coding program for ubuntu, it had a purple horse as the icon | 05:57 |
| mcurran | Do a recovery console with your XP disc and do FIXMBR or use a win98 cd and fdisk /mbr, just google it | 05:57 |
| skpl | soreau: ok thank you | 05:57 |
| faryshta | Dallas1, probably yes. If you have not your hard drive partitioned it surely will. | 05:57 |
| dav | problem: when i log into gnome, the window manager no longer starts (I was using compiz and doesn't work with metacity either). There's no window decoration, and I have to start the window manager manually. Any pointers as to where the problem might be? | 05:58 |
| skpl | soreau: very helpfull, thank you | 05:58 |
| soreau | dav: What do you want as default? | 05:58 |
| mcurran | g++ which comes with build-essential (I think) is a C++ compiler | 05:58 |
| dav | soreau: compiz | 05:58 |
| faryshta | chd1, if you want a compiler, g++ comes with build-essentials. Just type: g++ archive.cpp -o archive | 05:58 |
| bobofosho13 | mcurran: there are some other issues surrounding this one that i need to tell u can i open a pm? | 05:58 |
| electricTape | hi how do I choose how many desktop spaces I have in Ubuntu? | 05:58 |
| mcurran | bobo: sure | 05:59 |

| dav | soreau: already done. multiple times. still doesn't start on login. | 05:59 |
| chd1 | no not a compiler, it was a program you could write c++ code in and itd color code it for you and stuff | 05:59 |
| Dallas1 | faryshta: beautiful, I may have to try it then. | 05:59 |
| dav | soreau: (it works fine until I log out though) | 05:59 |
| soreau | dav: How are you starting it manually? | 05:59 |
| spridel | you want an IDE it sounds like chd1 | 06:00 |
| jongbergs | SeaPhor: ok i see ppl here are trying their best to help you out..we just hope your issue will be fixed asap :) | 06:00 |
| lstarnes | electricTape: right-click on the workspace switcher applet, select preferences, then change the number of workspaces | 06:00 |
| mcurran | any text editor should do that: vim emacs gedit | 06:00 |
| mcurran | you just need to set extension to .cpp | 06:00 |
| beowulf_ | how do you open .chm files? | 06:00 |
| dav | soreau: basically by doing just what you describe. the window decorations appear, i can work, but when I log out and log back in, no more window manager. | 06:00 |
| jongbergs | beowulf_: install xchm | 06:00 |
| soreau | dav: How are you starting compiz manually? | 06:00 |
| git__ | hey mcurran! | 06:00 |
| chd1 | ya do you know which one Im talking about spridel | 06:01 |
| dav | soreau: by choosing extra | 06:01 |
| dav | soreau: that starts it | 06:01 |
| dav | soreau: i think just calling compiz from the terminal might work too | 06:01 |
| Dallas1 | mcurran: flan was helping but I think he logged. I put initrd.gz and vmlinux on the usb stick, what else do I need to edit to tell it to use the usb and not cdr | 06:01 |
| dav | soreau: calling metacity definitely did work.. | 06:01 |
| soreau | dav: Do you have compiz or fusion-icon in Sys>Prefs>Startup apps? | 06:01 |
| spridel | chd1: no, not off the top of my head i don't but i'll talke a look | 06:01 |

| chd1 | man I love how easy it is to install software | 06:03 |
| dav | soreau: none | 06:03 |
| dav | soreau: (and metacity isn't running either: no window manager) | 06:03 |
| soreau | dav: My best guess is you have permission issues in ~/ ($HOME) | 06:04 |
| dav | soreau: didn't touch any of that recently - should i have compiz in startup? | 06:04 |
| soreau | dav: You could try to work around it by putting compiz in startup | 06:04 |
| faryshta | chd1, so far I can read on the description, that program is meant to be used with Gnome so you will get the best features and speed here using Linux. | 06:04 |

| perscitus | jeffmr.-> The command works. it's not executing it | 06:27 |
| DexterLB | hi again | 06:27 |
| DexterLB | so, I can't open the new PC to insert the HDD into it, warranty forbids doing any enhansmets etc. So I have to migrate the entire /home with all .dot files into the new computer via network. Which is the best way of transferring files through network THAT KEEPS SYMLINKS AS THEY ARE, DOESN'T FOLLOW NOR CHANGE THEM | 06:27 |
| DexterLB | both PCs are ubuntu karmic | 06:27 |
| FloodBot3 | DexterLB: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 06:27 |
| Bigshot_ | does anyone know where the heck does jockey-gtk find the drivers from and install? in karmic | 06:28 |
| faryshta | perscitus, why don't you try editing the /etc/sources.list and change every karmic for jaunty | 06:28 |
| Bigshot_ | braodcom drivers | 06:28 |
| Bigshot_ | braodcom wl | 06:28 |
| jh2os_ | eh | 06:28 |
| faryshta | then update, install crontab and get sources.list back to normal. | 06:28 |
| perscitus | faryshta.-> that has nothing to do with my problem | 06:28 |
| jeffmr | Bigshot, if you let me look at the cd on the computer now I can see if I can find them? | 06:28 |
| Bigshot_ | jeffmr ok | 06:29 |
| perscitus | jeffmr.-> so? | 06:29 |
| jeffmr | perscitus, don't know | 06:29 |
| SeaPhor | DexterLB, i dont know of any pcs that still follow that old rule,, are you sure you cant open without warranty violation? | 06:29 |
| jeffmr | Bigshot_, private chat | 06:29 |
| perscitus | jeffmr.-> You telling me that crontab and karmic will remain broken? | 06:29 |
| faryshta | perscitus, why not? that way you can install crontab. | 06:29 |
| jeffmr | perscitus, I'm not a developer | 06:30 |
| DexterLB | i guess everyone is sleeping | 06:30 |
| perscitus | faryshta.-> welcome to ignore. | 06:30 |
| Starenki | where does karmic keep proxy setting instead of env?. i am running console only mode | 06:30 |
| perscitus | Anyone know how to make crontab work under karmic? It doesnt work on default installs | 06:31 |
| lstarnes | perscitus: putting people on ignore is likely going to cause you to revieve less help | 06:31 |
| ubuntu | my application is i want to run a small operating system in machine when the machine startup my application should run | 06:31 |
| lstarnes | perscitus: is cron currently running? | 06:31 |
| SeaPhor | DexterLB, even if so,,, you can get a IDE/SATA to USB for under $20 and do any transfer you want | 06:31 |
| perscitus | lstarnes.-> i cant check that since there is no services app | 06:31 |
| lstarnes | perscitus: ps aux | grep cron | 06:32 |
| DexterLB | SeaPhor: why spend $20 when I can leave it overnight(s) and copy all files by network? | 06:33 |
| === jh2os_ is now known as jh2os | ||
| psvssg | when i use compiz my shift button dont work, any help | 06:33 |
| DexterLB | well if there really isn't a way to transfer lots of small files keeping symlinks I'll have to spend the $20 anyway | 06:33 |

| perscitus | lstarnes.-> crontab runs | 06:34 |
| SeaPhor | DexterLB, you said that you cant open your box,,, thats the point,,, yes, you can, and i do often, | 06:34 |
| lstarnes | perscitus: does http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1305226 look relevant? | 06:34 |
| DexterLB | SeaPhor: i also do often | 06:34 |
| DexterLB | SeaPhor: But I don't want to do it if warranty forbids it | 06:35 |
| perscitus | lstarnes.-> i didnt upgrade | 06:35 |
| SeaPhor | DexterLB, please say what box this is,, if there is still a mfg out there that uses that archaic warranty crap then we need to know | 06:36 |
| lstarnes | perscitus: I'm out of ideas, sorry | 06:37 |
| greezmunkey | DexterLB, what you have to ask yourself is, can you fix it if it breaks, if yes, then open it up. | 06:37 |
| DexterLB | SeaPhor: the box is NEO 2295 XPRESSION, idiotic bulgarian brand | 06:37 |
| DexterLB | greezmunkey: I can fix it if it breaks, sure! | 06:38 |
| greezmunkey | DexterLB, is that a laptop? | 06:38 |
| * SeaPhor agrees with greezmunkey | 06:38 | |

| ardchoille | perscitus: I can try to help if you tell me what you are trying to accomplish? | 06:46 |
| jrib | perscitus: it would probably be easier to help if you were more specific. What *exactly* did you try? How did you try it? How did you determine it didn't execute? etc. | 06:46 |
| SeaPhor | perscitus, i have crontab auto-starting scripts, i have other things such as auto-mounting partitiions being done by other things,,, plz explain,,, what are you wanting crontab to do? | 06:47 |
| perscitus | jrib.-> uh. edit crontab, add a command to execute at specific time. Then when time comes, it doesnt execute. | 06:47 |
| rashed2020 | perscitus: My first guess is that your not calling the full path. | 06:47 |
| greezmunkey | perscitus, what command? | 06:47 |
| jrib | perscitus: "edit crontab" is vague. "add a command to execute at specific time" is vague. | 06:47 |
| perscitus | I am calling full path | 06:47 |
| rashed2020 | It would help if you showed us what you have | 06:48 |
| jrib | perscitus: just tell us exactly what you are doing. | 06:48 |
| ardchoille | perscitus: that can be caused by a number of things, the first thing I would try is to make sure the comand you entered is valid | 06:48 |
| artistxe | where can I example partition maps for booting multiple linux distros ? | 06:48 |

| perscitus | ardchoille.-> did that | 06:49 |
| ardchoille | perscitus: in crontab? | 06:49 |
| perscitus | ardchoille.-> export Display=:0 && totem | 06:49 |

| ardchoille | perscitus: ok, what is the time you are using? | 06:51 |

| greezmunkey | perscitus, whoa dude, that's a pretty expensive alarm clock, PS (what if it crashes?) | 07:04 |
| git__ | unwedged85, mac address can be virtualized | 07:05 |

| greezmunkey | perscitus, no wonder you didn't want anyone to know what you were up to :] | 07:05 |

| helltraum | I've set the DISPLAY variable on the remote host to my local machines IPADDRESS:0.0 | 07:31 |
| greezmunkey_ | migg137, I'm running this from the VB XP Session, hehe | 07:31 |
| helltraum | Anyone got any ideas please ? | 07:31 |
| greezmunkey_ | migg137, Just installed xchat2 for windows... | 07:32 |
| greezmunkey_ | heh, at least it works... | 07:32 |
| doushin | Ok, I have established that I have the connexant ac97 cx20468-31, where is a safe place and way to get these on ubuntu, I really appreciate it | 07:32 |
| sje46 | I'm trying to get a terminal to stay on every workspace, but only if it's a specific profile, but I want it to skip taskbar | 07:33 |
| sje46 | How do I do this? | 07:33 |
| ardchoille | sje46: you might look into using devilspie | 07:33 |
| ardchoille | !info devilspie | 07:34 |
| ubottu | devilspie (source: devilspie): find windows and perform actions on them. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.22-1 (karmic), package size 28 kB, installed size 128 kB | 07:34 |
| sje46 | ardchoille, well, I did, but it was really irritating, and it works with compiz | 07:34 |
| migg137 | greezmunkey, thats cool, so i cna run my softwarte just fine right like fl studio, sony vegas adn photoshop? | 07:34 |
| sje46 | I'd prefer to try to do it with compiz instead, sicne I got that figured out | 07:34 |
| greezmunkey | migg137, no guarantees, you'll have to try it. | 07:35 |
| greezmunkey | migg137, remember you have to run VB as root (unfortunately) | 07:36 |
| sje46 | well, okay, Ill try it with devilspie, but I have a specific problem with that | 07:36 |
| sje46 | I don't know how to end devilspie | 07:36 |
| greezmunkey | migg137, uh...I think I'll take that back, there was a reason for doing so, but it seems to work anyway on this updated install... | 07:37 |
| jongbergs | !uuid | 07:37 |
| ubottu | To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) | 07:37 |
| baltadt | what is the best program to burn ubuntu install cd's | 07:37 |
| jongbergs | baltadt: brasero works fine | 07:38 |
| baltadt | ty | 07:38 |
| migg137 | greezmunkey, ok so it should be fine i just downloaded today | 07:38 |
| greezmunkey | migg137, yea, I would think so. I installed onto this server from an aptoncd that I burned off of this laptop. I'll update it later... | 07:39 |
| geev | hallow i need your assistance i get this error "W: GPG error: http://www.bashterritory.com Release: The following signatures were invalid: NODATA 1 NODATA 2W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems" when i execute sudo apt-get update any ideal | 07:39 |
| migg137 | greezmunkey, thats cool man i still have alot to learn, i just recently got ubuntu this yea and i love it | 07:40 |

| sje46 | when you right click on an item in your task bar or dock, you can choose to have it show on the visible workspace | 07:41 |
| sje46 | how do I do this if its not on the tastk bar or dock? | 07:42 |
| knoppies | Is there a utility that can tell me where data is being sent/received(LAN)? (or at least what program is sending/receiving it). I have a constant down of 20-50kb/s and an UP of 2-40kb/s and Im not sure what it is. | 07:42 |

| greezmunkey | knoppies, tcpdump, or wireshark | 07:43 |
| knoppies | greezmunkey, thanks, I will have a look. | 07:43 |
| greezmunkey | knoppies, I think you'll have to apt-get tcpdump, bet its worth it. | 07:44 |
| greezmunkey | s/bet/but | 07:44 |
| jongbergs | knoppies: wireshark might help you | 07:44 |
| === root is now known as Guest14310 | ||
| knoppies | thanks jongbergs | 07:45 |
| hemant__ | how will i customize ubuntu | 07:45 |
| bazhang | geev, gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and place a # in front of the bashterritory entry, save, then try sudo apt-get update again | 07:45 |
| Guest14310 | now i use backtrack | 07:45 |
| bazhang | hemant__, up to you. | 07:45 |
| knoppies | hemant__, you open up 'synaptic package manager' | 07:45 |
| hemant__ | ok | 07:45 |
| knoppies | hemant__, then seach for 'compiz settings' | 07:45 |
| Guest14310 | yups | 07:46 |
| knoppies | hemant__, Install that, then use that to customize ubuntu. You should also look at system-> preferences-> appearance too | 07:46 |

| Desen | folks, need help on this one (free virtual beers for those who help :P) -- i accidently formatted a NTFS partition (/fast) with 126 GB of pictures, work projects and personal stuff. is there any possibility to recover these files ? | 07:46 |
| knoppies | jongbergs, ah, thanks. will have a look at that too. | 07:46 |
| bazhang | Desen, what do you mean fast? using which OS to do this /fast ? | 07:47 |
| sje46 | knoppies: thanks! | 07:47 |
| knoppies | sje46, anytime. Glad it worked. | 07:48 |
| Desen | ermbazhang: . Windoza. XP. it was a dual boot and needed to reinstall the partition with WIN on it, cuz of course, it failed me. (i know how to re-enable the GRUB afters) | 07:48 |
| hemant__ | i am not talking about appearance i want lightweight ubuntu with no menus at all | 07:48 |
| Desen | bazhang: . Windoza. XP. it was a dual boot and needed to reinstall the partition with WIN on it, cuz of course, it failed me. (i know how to re-enable the GRUB afters) | 07:48 |
| knoppies | hemant__, oh, sorry. Then dont listen to me. | 07:49 |
| greezmunkey | jongbergs, is bmon a gui, or terminal app? | 07:49 |
| vega- | Desen: this channel is not exactly for windows support.. | 07:49 |
| knoppies | greezmunkey, Im about to find out. | 07:49 |
| Desen | vega- i had dual boot: Ubuntu / Windows | 07:49 |
| bazhang | Desen, using XP to delete? you should try in ##windows as this channel is for Ubuntu support | 07:49 |
| greezmunkey | knoppies, cool. | 07:49 |
| ardchoille | greezmunkey: bmon is a commandline bandwidth monitor | 07:49 |
| virtus | hemant__ : then remove the panels, and install gnome-do :) | 07:49 |
| ardchoille | greezmunkey: apt-cache show bmon ;) | 07:50 |
| hemant__ | can u explain me once more | 07:50 |
| greezmunkey | ardchoille, sounds like a nice tool, I'll check it out, thanks all :) | 07:50 |
| virtus | hemant__ : add a start menu launcher on desktop, as a backup, to use it, when you need ;) | 07:50 |
| vega- | Desen: i don't see how that is related.. anyway the answer to your question doesn't relate to ubuntu in any way | 07:50 |
| Desen | bazhang, vega- i was wondering if there's any tool i could use from the open source community, since ##windows has failed me in helping with my problem | 07:50 |
| bazhang | Desen, not in this situation no | 07:50 |
| virtus | hemant__: Right click all the panels, and remove them , then install gnome-do , { you can do most of the things with gnome-do i.e start applications etc. } | 07:51 |
| vega- | Desen: as the partition is ntfs, sounds a little far fetched .. | 07:51 |
| geev | bazhang: thank now it is downloading the updates but can you please tell what is the effect of that changes i made | 07:51 |
| greezmunkey | ardchoille, sweet! | 07:51 |
| Desen | hmmm. ok. thanx vega-, bazhang | 07:51 |

| carck3r | Hello | 07:54 |
| alabd | good day everyone , how to solve this problem ? http://up.iranblog.ir/3/1258817648.png | 07:54 |
| Dr_Willis | alabd: give a small summary of the problem - dont expect everyone to go to a URL just to see the acctual problem. | 07:55 |
| spartan07 | anyone know how to do ASCII symbols on gedit | 07:55 |
| greezmunkey | jongbergs> ardchoille, running it now with a youtube video running as a test, I like... | 07:55 |
| freaky[t] | how can i make the desktop panels look nice in gnome? | 07:55 |
| Dr_Willis | freaky[t]: clarify what you mean. | 07:56 |
| knoppies | freaky[t], right-click properties. | 07:56 |
| knoppies | freaky[t], or you could use a dock like cairo-dock or AWN | 07:56 |
| freaky[t] | Dr_Willis, for example in xfce the panels look nice ... i mean ... where can I get nice working backgrounds or whatever? | 07:56 |
| dave456 | saluton | 07:56 |
| dave456 | kiel vi fartas? | 07:57 |
| bazhang | dave456, english here | 07:57 |
| freaky[t] | knoppies, ill have a look at cairo-dock didnt test it yet | 07:57 |
| Dr_Willis | freaky[t]: you can set panel backgrounds if you want. I hate backgrounds on my panels | 07:57 |
| dave456 | mi ne komprenas | 07:57 |
| alabd | Dr_Willis: that error happens while there is try to call via that java applet on ff | 07:57 |
| knoppies | freaky[t], just make sure you download and install cairo-dock2.0 not the 1.? that is in the repositories. | 07:57 |
| freaky[t] | knoppies, 2.0.9 is in repos | 07:57 |
| dave456 | what's up with ubuntu 9.10 | 07:57 |
| hemant__ | how will i change with gnome do | 07:57 |
| dave456 | it like changed everything | 07:58 |
| knoppies | freaky[t], oh, my bad. | 07:58 |
| freaky[t] | knoppies, hehe np ;D now u know ^^ | 07:58 |
| bazhang | dave456, did you have a support question or just wish to chat | 07:58 |
| Dr_Willis | dave456: its a transition release - they updated a lotof things to get ready for the next LTS release. | 07:58 |
| virtus | freaky[t]: increase the panel size, make them a bit more transparent, this thing is something you would have to play with, just right click the panel and dive in its properties. :) | 07:58 |
| dave456 | is this LTS 9.10? | 07:58 |
| Dr_Willis | !lts | 07:58 |
| ubottu | LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Hardy (Hardy Heron 8.04). The next LTS release is scheduled to be !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) | 07:58 |
| bazhang | dave456, no | 07:58 |
| dave456 | the add and remove interface has channed | 07:58 |
| freaky[t] | virtuald, hm ok thanks ... testing cairo-dock atm will have a cloder look at properties later | 07:59 |
| Dr_Willis | dave456: so? its changed. | 07:59 |
| dave456 | why can't we have the old one? | 07:59 |
| Dr_Willis | dave456: Progress | 07:59 |
| bazhang | dave456, its still there | 07:59 |
| hemant__ | how th gnome will work | 08:00 |
| Dr_Willis | I think theres about 4 'differnt, alternatives' now to add and remove packages from the system. | 08:00 |
| carck3r | I have problem with my a4tech office 8k mouse. It freezes at system start. I must replugin it and then it works. What should I do? | 08:00 |
| dave456 | that is Dr_Willis? | 08:00 |
| virtus | carck3r: replace it ;) | 08:00 |
| carck3r | I haven't got other mouse | 08:00 |
| freaky[t] | knoppies, do you use it with autohide or something? oO | 08:01 |
| carck3r | Sorry for my english... | 08:01 |
| dave456 | why doesn't empathy highlight your nick when someone types your nick? | 08:01 |
| Dr_Willis | dave456: the 'ubuntu software center' i hear is supposed tobecome the 'main' inteface to package managment. Personally I use synaptic. | 08:01 |
| dave456 | I see | 08:02 |
| dave456 | I use synaptic sometimes | 08:02 |
| dave456 | when I can't install frrom add and remove some apps | 08:02 |
| dave456 | or libraries or something | 08:02 |
| Dr_Willis | I dont even see an 'add/remove' here any more on this new install | 08:02 |
| dave456 | I use apt or synaptic or add and remove | 08:02 |
| Dr_Willis | because the 'add/remove' is a slimmed down tool i guess. | 08:03 |
| dave456 | apt hasn't changed much | 08:03 |
| dave456 | probably better to use apt | 08:03 |
| Madpilot | they all still use apt (or aptitude) ultimately anyway :) | 08:04 |
| Dr_Willis | dave456: thats why theres front ends and back ends. :) You can always use the core cli tools if you wanted | 08:04 |
| Dr_Willis | aptitude is also a front end. :) | 08:04 |
| dave456 | I don't like aptitude | 08:04 |
| dave456 | it causes many problems | 08:04 |
| iceroot_ | apt-get, synaptic, aptitude are all using dpkg? or are they using an own databases? so its safe to mix them all? | 08:04 |
| dave456 | it has some nice options that apt doesn't have last time I checked | 08:04 |
| dave456 | but it has messed stuff up for me a few times | 08:05 |
| dave456 | so i don't use it | 08:05 |
| ardchoille | iceroot_: they all use the same backend and db, it's safe to mix them | 08:05 |
| iceroot_ | ardchoille: ok | 08:05 |
| Dr_Willis | iceroot_: I also have had aptitude do some .. 'odd' things in the past. :) | 08:05 |
| Dr_Willis | Had aptitude remove 200 packages.. then reinstalled them.. once.. Never was sure why it did that. | 08:05 |
| iceroot_ | Dr_Willis: i am using dpkg the last days very much | 08:05 |
| dave456 | as far as I know they both use different databases iceroot_ | 08:06 |
| iceroot_ | Dr_Willis: i am building my own packages with dpkg-divert :) its much fun to build own debs :) | 08:06 |
| iceroot_ | dave456: both? | 08:06 |
| hemant_ | can i get a small footprint of ubuntu | 08:06 |
| digitalfiz | anybody have an example script that runs a program and enters y when asked a question? | 08:06 |
| dave456 | it can mess up your machine compiling from course | 08:06 |
| dave456 | source* | 08:06 |
| bazhang | hemant_, use a different window manager or DE such as lxde | 08:07 |
| Dr_Willis | digitalfiz: you mean to automate some task and have it 'auto' answer a command from a script? | 08:07 |
| hemant_ | mean? | 08:07 |
| dave456 | if you compile from source it is better to do it in a chroot environment iceroot_ | 08:07 |
| Dr_Willis | !info expect | 08:07 |
| ubottu | expect (source: expect): A program that can automate interactive applications. In component main, is optional. Version 5.43.0-17 (karmic), package size 308 kB, installed size 628 kB | 08:07 |

| jocco | hello. one of my hard disks has many bad sectors on it. how can I scan and repair the disk? | 08:08 |
| digitalfiz | Dr_Willis, yes im using a cpanel command that asks are you sure and im trying to automate deleting 800+ domains so pressing y by hand for each one is a pain lol | 08:08 |
| dave456 | hmm | 08:08 |
| Dr_Willis | digitalfiz: see 'expect' or the 'yes' command :) 'yes | command thatasks' (but expect is proberly a better tool) | 08:08 |
| dave456 | you mean like some options that are not present that you have to recompile to get? Dr_Willis | 08:09 |
| Grunge | xchat won't download any files or show me a ddc request | 08:09 |
| Dr_Willis | jocco: new install of 9.10 and its giving you a warning? | 08:09 |
| Grunge | how am i to fix this? | 08:09 |
| Madpilot | digitalfiz, a lot of commands have a flag for "expect yes" built right in. Be careful, that sort of thing can bite. | 08:09 |
| yoshx | hello | 08:09 |
| jocco | Dr_Willis, yes new 910 | 08:09 |
| ardchoille | Grunge: check your ignores; Windows > Ignore list... | 08:09 |
| Grunge | it doesn't show up | 08:10 |
| Dr_Willis | jocco: the smart monitoring tools can be a little 'over cautious' I have a drive that it says has toomany bad sectors.. but the hd tools ive used on it say its ok. I still dont keep anything critical on the drive. | 08:10 |
| Dr_Willis | jocco: so even tho the drive is 'ok' the smart tools still warn me. | 08:10 |
| Dr_Willis | jocco: and YES i dohave backups of stuff that i keep on the drive) | 08:11 |
| jocco | ok thanks Dr_Willis | 08:11 |
| Grunge | ardchoille mind sending a file? | 08:11 |
| Rewt` | so I upgraded to 9.10, now I have what amounts to a black "thing" on my desktop making it impossible to see wallpaper, icons, and even applications like web browsers... | 08:12 |
| digitalfiz | Dr_Willis, yes worked perfect ty :) | 08:12 |
| ardchoille | Grunge: Can't, my xhat is setup to ignore incoming and outgoing dcc and ctcp | 08:12 |
| freaky[t] | hm i dont like cairo dock | 08:12 |
| Grunge | god dam xchat | 08:12 |
| dave456 | what's with this "officially supported restricted copyright"? | 08:12 |

| Monocian | which is lighter, suse or xubuntu? | 08:15 |
| pk__ | http://fpaste.org/Jm8a/ | 08:15 |
| Dr_Willis | Monocian: id have to say xubuntu. since 'suse' installs a lot of extras | 08:15 |
| seidos | suspend command from cli? | 08:16 |
| Dr_Willis | Unless theres a suse-xfce variant | 08:16 |
| pk__ | help somebody | 08:16 |
| Dr_Willis | seidos: i thinkl the ''shutdown'' command has options for that | 08:16 |
| freaky[t] | hm, with gnome-panel when i set a background, it looks ugly like ... the buttons on the panel for the open windows ... are as high as the background :( | 08:16 |
| Dr_Willis | pk__: summarize the problem a little bit. Dont just paste a url and excpect everyone to go toit | 08:16 |
| Rewt` | interesting.... the black background issue is related to desktop effects | 08:16 |
| bazhang | pk__, that is a kubuntu question, you just pasted in #kubuntu ; please be patient there | 08:16 |
| Dr_Willis | Rewt`: yep - compiz and black screen/desktops seem tobe a issue for some people | 08:17 |
| pk__ | k | 08:17 |

| Grunge | so xchat isn't p2p friendly | 08:17 |
| Grunge | ? | 08:17 |
| Rewt` | I can live w/o the effects just fine. | 08:17 |
| seidos | Dr_Willis: typed 'man shutdown', searched for suspend, pattern not found | 08:18 |
| freaky[t] | it's a pitty that i cant get the gnome panels to look pretty :( | 08:18 |

| vladovg | hi all | 08:18 |
| geoffmcc | a question must be asked first | 08:18 |
| Leo_Cat | im looking for a webhost to host few html files for my site which reveals the antichrist | 08:19 |
| Grunge | well back to wine and sysreset version | 08:19 |
| poyntz | freaky[t]: which would you recommend? | 08:19 |
| Leo_Cat | does anyone know or have good hosts? | 08:19 |
| Dr_Willis | seidos: looks like it just has -h for hault and -r for reboot.. i recall seeing some command line tool with that option. but i NEVER use suspsned/hibernate any more | 08:19 |
| vladovg | root@vladovg-desktop:/home/vladovg# cd ~/home/vladovg/Desktop | 08:19 |

| bazhang | !ot | Leo_Cat | 08:19 |
| vladovg | strange problem | 08:19 |
| ubottu | Leo_Cat: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 08:19 |
| kostkon | vladovg, root? | 08:19 |
| freaky[t] | poyntz, y did u install gnome-desktop? r u going to switch to gnome? if yes - gdm ... else kdm ;D | 08:19 |
| Dr_Willis | vladovg: you sre you dont mean /home/username/Desktop | 08:19 |
| Dr_Willis | vladovg: /root/home is proberly wrong | 08:19 |
| Leo_Cat | maybe I want to host my antichrist reveal site at ubuntu machine | 08:20 |
| geoffmcc | Leo_cat alot of users? | 08:20 |
| Leo_Cat | im looking for a webhost to host few html files for my site which reveals the antichrist | 08:20 |
| Dr_Willis | vladovg: '/' is called the 'root' of the filesystem - not the same as /root/ (root users home) | 08:20 |
| bazhang | Leo_Cat, that has nothing to do with ubuntu support . please stop | 08:20 |
| Leo_Cat | prolly not much for the starters | 08:20 |
| poyntz | freaky[t]: ty | 08:20 |
| geoffmcc | host it yourself on ubuntu | 08:20 |
| geoffmcc | but yea not really on topic | 08:20 |
| freaky[t] | poyntz, np ... if u later want to switch between those two u can do: dpkg-reconfigure gdm | 08:20 |
| Leo_Cat | IM GOING TO REVEAL THE ANTICHRIST to the internet community and to the people of the world | 08:20 |
| poyntz | freaky[t]: sweet. thanks | 08:21 |
| geoffmcc | ok then | 08:21 |

| Dr_Willis | vladovg: you may want to spend an hr learning some bash basics. | 08:21 |
| vladovg | sorri | 08:22 |
| Dr_Willis | vladovg: and there are 'google' repositories that include such apps in the package manager | 08:22 |

| vladovg | yes | 08:23 |
| Dr_Willis | vladovg: and you would 'run' that .bin with the sh command | 08:23 |
| Dr_Willis | vladovg: so 'cd /home/username/Desktop' | 08:23 |
| greezmunkey | vladovg, I did the same thing, are you trying to "install"it? | 08:23 |
| Dr_Willis | vladovg: then 'sh whatever.bin' | 08:23 |

| Billiard | jthomas: that belongs in #regex | 08:27 |
| greezmunkey | freaky[t], 4.0.245.0 (Ubuntu build 31665), that's the ver I installed | 08:27 |
| jthomas | Billiard: alright | 08:28 |
| jonzbcc | hello, does anyone know if its possible to change the default location of the Ubuntu One folder? | 08:28 |
| freaky[t] | greezmunkey, of chromium? | 08:28 |
| Dr_Willis | The Medibuntu repos have 'googleearth' in them :) in case anyone wants to try googleearth | 08:28 |
| greezmunkey | freaky[t], yes | 08:28 |
| Dr_Willis | jonzbcc: ive heard it asked befor..but never seen an answer. theres #ubuntuone channel that proberly knows | 08:28 |
| freaky[t] | greezmunkey, hm i think ill stay with google chrome | 08:28 |
| jonzbcc | oh, there is? thanks, i'll go there | 08:28 |
| rashed2020 | I have a 64 bit system running, is there a way I can clone it to a 32 bit machine? | 08:29 |
| greezmunkey | freaky[t], I was just trying it out, don't care for it much. | 08:29 |
| freaky[t] | ok | 08:29 |
| Billiard | rashed2020: you could copy over individual config files in /etc and copy over your home dirs | 08:30 |
| Dr_Willis | !clone | rashed2020 | 08:30 |
| ubottu | rashed2020: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 08:30 |
| pepee | hi | 08:30 |
| rashed2020 | So copy config files, copy home folder and then do what ubottu just told me. That would more or less give me the same install I have? | 08:31 |
| fahadsadah | Yes, pretty much. | 08:31 |
| rashed2020 | Great. | 08:31 |
| pepee | xchat throw an error when connecting a server through ssl | 08:31 |
| pepee | *ssl3 | 08:31 |
| fahadsadah | pepee: What is the error? | 08:31 |
| pepee | Connection failed. Error: (336130315) error:1408F10B:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_RECORD:wrong version number Are you sure this is a SSL capable server and port? | 08:32 |
| fahadsadah | Are you connecting to the SSL port? | 08:32 |
| pepee | yes | 08:32 |
| fahadsadah | What's the server and port? | 08:32 |
| pepee | /sslserver irc.deepspace.org 6667 | 08:33 |
| fahadsadah | For IRC, 6667 is typically the unsecured port. | 08:34 |
| greezmunkey | Is it possible to ssh into a remote machine and get a terminal on that machine? All I seem to get is filesystem access, works great for transferring files, but not for much else. | 08:34 |
| fahadsadah | pepee: Try 6697 | 08:34 |
| freaky[t] | greezmunkey, use ssh | 08:34 |
| pepee | d'oh | 08:34 |
| pepee | haha fahadsadah read the error | 08:35 |
| freaky[t] | greezmunkey, apt-get install openssh-client | 08:35 |
| pepee | *message | 08:35 |
| Dr_Willis | greezmunkey: ssh gets you a shell. 'sshfs' can let you mount the remote to a local directory. | 08:35 |
| freaky[t] | greezmunkey, and then ssh | 08:35 |
| rashed2020 | Wjat | 08:35 |
| Dr_Willis | greezmunkey: the gnome file manager does the 'mounting' part. Use just ssh from a terminal. | 08:35 |
| pepee | http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=471681 <- related, supposed to be fixed | 08:35 |
| rashed2020 | What's the difference between openssh-client and the one that comes preinstalled? | 08:36 |
| freaky[t] | Dr_Willis, do you use sshfs? if yes, do you also automatically establish theconnection? if yes - how to? =D | 08:36 |
| fahadsadah | pepee: That's not your problem. | 08:36 |
| greezmunkey | Dr_Willis, I'm reading the man page now. | 08:36 |
| fahadsadah | irc.deepspace.org has unsecured IRC listening on 6667 | 08:36 |
| fahadsadah | And does not support SSL | 08:36 |
| pepee | it supports ssl | 08:37 |
| freaky[t] | greezmunkey, ssh ssh.host.tld or ssh user@ssh.host.tld ;D | 08:37 |

| freaky[t] | is there anything which makes xchat look nicer? | 08:38 |
| fahadsadah | rashed2020: 6999 isn't open on that server | 08:38 |
| fahadsadah | I just nmapped it | 08:38 |
| fahadsadah | pepee: It has 6665-6669 unsecure IRC | 08:39 |
| fahadsadah | No SSL | 08:39 |
| Dr_Willis | freaky[t]: theres xchat, then theres xchat-gnome (i perfer xchat) then theres other irc clients | 08:39 |
| Dr_Willis | freaky[t]: check the package manager for other irc clients | 08:39 |
| freaky[t] | Dr_Willis, hm ok | 08:39 |

| Dr_Willis | toffan: depends on the exact problem | 08:43 |
| greezmunkey | Dr_Willis, I agree, and I will. | 08:43 |
| Dr_Willis | !ssh | greezmunkey | 08:43 |
| ubottu | greezmunkey: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for client usage.

| freaky[t] | Dr_Willis, i mean, is it better than xchat? | 08:45 |
| Dr_Willis | toffan: check #wine and the wine app database | 08:45 |
| freaky[t] | Dr_Willis, i mean irssi sorry ... is weechat better than irssi? | 08:45 |

| Dr_Willis | Asad2005: err.. the clock has a featreu to show the weather also i recall | 08:56 |
| ardchoille | Asad2005: it's a panel applet, it was close to the tray so you thought it was in the tray, but it was next to the tray | 08:56 |
| ardchoille | Dr_Willis: it does, and it's quite nice | 08:57 |
| Madpilot | Asad2005, the usual weather applet in Gnome is supposed to be in the panel, not the notification area | 08:57 |
| Dr_Willis | ardchoille: other then that. i dont recall seeing any default apps that show the weather in the tray vs panel | 08:57 |
| ardchoille | Dr_Willis: there's a panel applet for it, but I think he saw the applet and thought it was in the traty | 08:58 |

| Dr_Willis | ardchoille: yep. thats my guess also | 08:58 |

| jonzbcc | hello, anyone know how I can change eclipse's behavior so it fully quits when I exit the program. (there's still a 50 mb process doing nothing in the background) - I found this in the forums, and no one answered the poster: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1124419 | 09:06 |

| britta | sorry | 09:09 |
| walt879 | i sent wrong message ,sorry | 09:09 |
| kfries6 | Yes I speak a little Japanese, but this is an english only forum | 09:09 |
| jonzbcc | Dr_Willis: sorry, I almost wasn't sure anyone was in here (or if something was wrong) - i've never seen it so dead in here | 09:09 |
| iKernel | hello all | 09:10 |
| Dr_Willis | jonzbcc: its 4 am in the USA :) | 09:10 |
| britta | it's ok. was just trying to express that I don't speak Japanese. Anyway. I have a question. Can someone please tell me if I should trust palimpsest (61 bad blocks) or the output of sudo badblocks /dev/sdb which says 0 bad blocks. | 09:11 |
| jonzbcc | yeah, I don't know why I'm up, haha. actually, that's probably my signal to stop working. cheers | 09:12 |
| Dr_Willis | britta: i would keep backups of the drive in question. the 2 tools are reporting different things however (from my research) | 09:12 |
| britta | Dr_Willis: in other words you would advise me to buy a new drive? | 09:12 |
| infix | how can i tell if my ubuntu adapter is working without trying to connect a device to it? | 09:12 |
| Dr_Willis | britta: one is the SMART tools shoding the info the drive reports. - badblocks is not reading those same 'blocks' becuase the drive controller is making he drive skip over them | 09:12 |
| ardchoille | Infin1ty: ubuntu adapter? | 09:13 |
| Dr_Willis | britta: its always good to have backups. But i have a 1.5 tb drive with a few bad blocks from palimset - that i am still using | 09:13 |
| Dr_Willis | britta: the seagate tools says its ok. but i dont keep critical things on it. | 09:13 |
| britta | Dr_Willis: it's a bad pamipsest day for me. My back-up drive also reports bad blocks. | 09:13 |
| seanj | Ubuntu recognizes my sound card, but the input doesn't work. I need it to work :| | 09:13 |
| Dr_Willis | britta: read the info carefully. its the smart monitoring infothats proberly just reporting a # and pamipest is just saying that # is too high | 09:14 |
| tenmuzni9 | seanj, the input as in microphone? | 09:14 |
| seanj | tenmuzni9: yes... it has a combination line-in/mic... neither function works | 09:14 |
| britta | Dr_Willis: thank you :o) | 09:14 |
| Dr_Willis | britta: it may work fine for Years.. then again.. a brand new drive could die in a matter of days. | 09:15 |
| Dr_Willis | britta: drives are the weakest link. | 09:15 |
| tenmuzni9 | seanj, are you sure that you are using the correct mixerI? | 09:15 |
| infix | syslog keeps reporting stuff about [UFW Block] IN=wlan0 PROTO=UDP... any idea why? | 09:15 |
| seanj | tenmuzni9: the sound preferences say it's a SB X-Fi, with "1 Output/1 Input" | 09:15 |
| britta | Dr_Willis: yes, been there too. You mentioned a seagate tool. Will this work on a maxtor drive? I only seem to be able to find tools for windows. | 09:16 |
| seanj | tenmuzni9: I messed with the volume sliders and there is no sound. | 09:16 |
| tenmuzni9 | seanj, ugh x-fi are trouble. If your using gnome open up a terminal and type gnome-volume-control | 09:16 |
| kfries6 | I just signed in here to test IRC through Empathy, since it seems to be working pretty well, maybe someone can point me on where to find help getting my HP Webcam working with Skype? | 09:16 |
| om26er | kfries6, is it working with cheese | 09:16 |
| Dr_Willis | britta: i used the tools under windows. Got mine at the seagate site. it may work for other drives. not seen a tool just for linux | 09:16 |
| Dr_Willis | britta: it ran on windows on my 1.5 tb drive for like .. 2 days :) then said it was ok | 09:16 |
| seanj | tenmuzni9: no sound. | 09:16 |
| kfries6 | Didn't try cheese, but did try ekiga, and it sorta works, but badly | 09:16 |
| toffan | my sound system is not working here | 09:17 |
| tenmuzni9 | seanj, you should see a list of devices at the top, one of them probably says "such and such - capture" | 09:17 |
| toffan | while watching youtube | 09:17 |
| britta | Dr_Willis: thanks, again. I crashed my xp partition, and won't reinstall till I know the drive is ok - or not. so catch 22 :) | 09:17 |
| seanj | tenmuzni9: You mean under "Input" tab? | 09:17 |
| tenmuzni9 | seanj, no, there should be "Devices:" and a list of devices you can choose from | 09:18 |
| om26er | does virtualbox play .vmdk | 09:18 |
| tenmuzni9 | om26er, yes | 09:18 |

| seanj | tenmuzni9: there is only one device... "SB X-Fi" | 09:18 |
| RenatoSilva | we don't need antivirus in linux? because it's secure? because there's too few viruses for Linux? because of both? what percentage for each one then? | 09:19 |
| whalesalad | hey guys, I cannot seem to find the ubuntu netbook remix IMG file. I have the ISO file but want to write an img to a flash drive to boot directly | 09:19 |
| Dr_Willis | RenatoSilva: yes :) | 09:19 |
| RenatoSilva | Dr_Willis: yes for which | 09:19 |
| Dr_Willis | RenatoSilva: both | 09:19 |
| Dr_Willis | theres few because its more secure... | 09:19 |
| RenatoSilva | Dr_Willis: percentage then | 09:20 |
| seanj | I can't compile the official driver for my sound card, either. | 09:20 |
| tenmuzni9 | seanj, a long while ago I had to compile a more recent versino of alsa to get my creative card to work | 09:20 |

| kfries6 | Linux does not spread viruses easily because users don't run with elevated privledges like they do in Windows, making viruses very difficult to spread | 09:20 |
| seanj | home/seanj/Sources/XFiDrv_Linux_Public_US_1.00/xfi.c:14:26: error: sound/driver.h: No such file or directory | 09:20 |

| RenatoSilva | kfries6: elevated privileges? only if windows users want | 09:21 |
| RenatoSilva | Dr_Willis: you don't know, ok | 09:21 |
| kfries6 | OK, I installed cheese, and it says it can't find my camera, but ekiga and skype do, but the camera looks like crap | 09:21 |
| seanj | tenmuzni9: How do I get alsa? | 09:21 |
| Dr_Willis | RenatoSilva: i dont even know of any 'current' viruses out for linux. Theres a few explots.. but thats not the same as a virus | 09:21 |
| tenmuzni9 | seanj, you should already have it, but you can google for the latest version | 09:21 |
| kfries6 | RenatoSilva: you can not do many critical tasks without elevated privledges in Windows | 09:21 |
| seanj | Okay, thanks tenmuzni9. | 09:22 |
| RenatoSilva | kfries6: any critical task should require such privileges, as it does in Linux | 09:22 |
| Dr_Willis | ive had too many non-critical tasks in windows require privileges.. but vista was a little better in that area | 09:22 |
| Dr_Willis | and worse in other areas | 09:23 |
| RenatoSilva | Dr_Willis: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:ClamTK3.08.jpg | 09:23 |
| RenatoSilva | kfries6: ^ | 09:23 |
| kfries6 | Yes, but it is easier to switch to elevated privs in Linux, not so easy in Windows, so users generally run full time with these privs, and this is the first step to expoitation | 09:23 |
| Mrokii | hello. I tried to use a Canon Lide 80 scanner with Ubuntu, but there seems to be no way doing that. Or is there? | 09:23 |
| simplexio | well UAC is bad joke in windows | 09:23 |
| tenmuzni9 | lets not do a windows linux security contest... | 09:23 |
| seanj | tenmuzni9: there's like 8 different programs here, including "alsa-driver", "alsa-lib" .. do I need them all? | 09:23 |
| RenatoSilva | kfries6: huh? not so easy in windows? what? | 09:23 |
| kfries6 | No sudo like capabilities, so users run in Power User mode | 09:24 |
| RenatoSilva | kfries6: right click > run as > admin? | 09:24 |
| tenmuzni9 | seanj, I haven't compiled alsa in a while, im sure that there is a guide though, google compile alsa from source ubuntu | 09:24 |
| simplexio | when we are talking using it and comparing to more simpler sudo, where you input password once and its done vs. windows 3click yes i can do this , and i want to do this querys | 09:24 |
| seanj | Okay. | 09:24 |
| seanj | Any idea why I can't compile the Creative Labs driver? | 09:25 |
| kfries6 | Only for running certain programs, that does not always work in Windows, but tenmuzni9 is right, this is not a Windows forum | 09:25 |
| Dr_Willis | simplexio: dont frget the last 'are you really really really sure, you want to do this?' | 09:25 |
| tenmuzni9 | seanj, i would try googling your specific sound card + ubuntu too | 09:25 |
| ardchoille | Please take the Windows discussion to offtopic | 09:25 |
| simplexio | Dr_Willis: yeh. and it dosent ask password once, i think | 09:25 |
| simplexio | ardchoille: we arent talkinf about windows, we are talking howto design usable GUI :) | 09:26 |
| Dr_Willis | simplexio: they need a tool that keeps track of the # of times that UAC dialog pops up. :) | 09:26 |
| kostkon | seanj, your x-fi's not working? | 09:27 |
| kostkon | seanj, ubuntu ver? | 09:27 |
| seanj | no kostkon .. not entirely. I need line-in/mic to work and it doesn't. Using Ubuntu 9.10 | 09:27 |
| seanj | I was able to compile th official driver on Slackware and Mandriva, but I can't on Ubuntu. | 09:27 |
| kfries6 | Simplexio: the windows conversation was me letting some flamer bait me into Windows vs Linux, but I cut it off actually before that message came through | 09:27 |
| erki__ | ps.wrd60027 | 09:27 |
| kostkon | seanj, you don't need to | 09:27 |
| === red_ is now known as wredny | ||
| kostkon | seanj, you are already using it | 09:28 |
| kostkon | seanj, it;s in the kernel | 09:28 |
| seanj | kostkon: why doesn't line-in work, then... | 09:28 |
| RenatoSilva | I think I have not found my answer here, it's technical and some are being tendencious | 09:28 |
| whalesalad | Where would one find the IMG for netbook remix? All I can find is the ISO and I am losing my mind | 09:28 |
| kostkon | seanj, then check your hardware volume levels | 09:28 |
| kostkon | seanj, install gnome-alsamixer | 09:28 |
| tenmuzni9 | RenatoSilva, what exactly is your question? | 09:28 |
| RenatoSilva | tenmuzni9: read above | 09:29 |
| tenmuzni9 | RenatoSilva, no | 09:29 |
| RenatoSilva | or go to next topic | 09:29 |
| om26er | i cannot login to X is edited the xorg file how can i restore it | 09:29 |
| om26er | am using nvidia' | 09:29 |
| seanj | kostkon: I unmuted and increased line-in volume with gnome-alsamixer.. still no sound at all | 09:29 |
| simplexio | hmm.. my sound from vboxed 9.10 isnt working, but it works on login screen | 09:30 |
| Dr_Willis | om26er: my systems can start up X with out any xorg.conf, there may be old backups in /etc/X11/ | 09:30 |
| kostkon | seanj, hmm | 09:30 |
| tenmuzni9 | om26er, most settings aren't in the xorg file anymore, but to get a fresh copy run sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg | 09:30 |
| kfries6 | om26er: I had all kinds of trouble with my nvidia card when I clean installed Karmic, try using Ctrl-Alt +/- to temporarily adjust your resolution and see if that helps | 09:30 |
| kostkon | seanj, how do you test it? | 09:30 |
| seanj | kostkon: I have a PS3 running right now through line-in | 09:31 |
| Dr_Willis | I just keep a backup of my old xorg.conf from my old installs :) for my nvidia cards | 09:31 |
| kostkon | seanj, and what app do you use to get the sound coming from line-in | 09:31 |
| sam_sam | how to resume an installation stopped accidently by ctrl+z in Konsole ? | 09:31 |
| Dr_Willis | sam_sam: try the 'fg' 'bg' cvommands | 09:31 |
| anom01y | how do I customize the login screen for xubuntu 9.10 ? | 09:31 |
| seanj | kostkon: I'm not using any app... I'm just trying to get sound through the speakers... it worked fine 30 minutes ago with Windows. | 09:32 |
| anom01y | I believe its gdm 2 | 09:32 |
| sam_sam | k i will try | 09:32 |
| sam_sam | thank u | 09:32 |
| kostkon | seanj, then, go to your sound prefs | 09:32 |
| sam_sam | worked :) | 09:32 |
| tenmuzni9 | anom01y, I don't think that you can customize the new gdm very much, try something like slim | 09:32 |
| Dr_Willis | anom01y: You can change the wallpaper it uses in the 'xsplash' directory | 09:32 |
| anom01y | ok cool | 09:32 |
| Dr_Willis | anom01y: theres a unsupported called 'epidermis' that can tweak it a little bit also | 09:32 |
| seanj | kostkon: I've already been through all the settings in gnome-volume-control and gnome-alsamixer .. .they don't work. | 09:33 |
| kostkon | seanj, hmm | 09:33 |
| stratovarius | hi all | 09:33 |
| Dr_Willis | anom01y: or you go hard core and install the old gdm. | 09:33 |
| om26er | tenmuzni9, that did not work | 09:33 |
| seanj | kostkon: the official driver worked for me on other distros, but it won't compile on this Ubuntu. | 09:33 |
| kostkon | seanj, try to enable/disable any switches you may have in gnome-alsamixer | 09:33 |
| tenmuzni9 | kostkon, he probably needs to compile the latest version of alsa from source | 09:33 |
| kostkon | tenmuzni9, ok | 09:33 |
| stratovarius | im using kmess under ubuntu...how to get contact list font bigger? | 09:33 |
| anom01y | the wallpaper is good enough for now, | 09:34 |
| kostkon | seanj, then you could install a package that provides the backported alsa, w8. it may make a difference | 09:34 |
| tenmuzni9 | om26er, are you just getting a black screen? | 09:34 |
| anom01y | Dr_Willis, where is this xsplash folder ? | 09:34 |
| === aaron11 is now known as Guest27560 | ||
| Dr_Willis | anom01y: use 'locate xsplash' - /usr/somthing :) | 09:34 |
| knoppies | I know this is OT, but I had a constant stream of about 40kb/s up and another 40kb/s down between my PC and my router. Im trying to work out whats causing this, got any ideas? | 09:34 |
| seanj | Why do I get an error when I try to compile the driver from Creative Labs? | 09:34 |
| Dr_Willis | /usr/share/images/xsplash | 09:34 |
| kostkon | seanj, try installing "linux-backports-modules-alsa-karmic-generic" and then reboot | 09:35 |
| seanj | okay thanks | 09:35 |
| om26er | tenmuzni9, X don't start just cli mode | 09:35 |
| binrapt | What should I use to achieve mounting a local FTP endpoint outside my Ubuntu VM as a filesystem in my Ubuntu VM? | 09:35 |
| tenmuzni9 | om26er, which drivers are you using? | 09:36 |
| binrapt | ftpfs is terribly outdated it seems | 09:36 |
| binrapt | I saw some post from 2006 about lufs or something like that | 09:36 |
| om26er | tenmuzni9, nvidia 185 | 09:36 |
| binrapt | But that's old, too, I guess | 09:36 |
| tenmuzni9 | om26er, for which card? | 09:36 |
| Dr_Willis | binrapt: check the other 'fuse' filesystems. | 09:36 |
| Dr_Willis | !info ftpfs | 09:36 |
| ubottu | Package ftpfs does not exist in karmic | 09:36 |
| om26er | tenmuzni9, 7100 build-in | 09:37 |
| om26er | tenmuzni9, was working fine | 09:37 |
| om26er | tenmuzni9, unless i edited it | 09:37 |
| Dr_Willis | gnome can mount ftp sites I recall. | 09:37 |
| kfries6 | om26er I run that same combo on a 7600 | 09:37 |
| tenmuzni9 | om26er, did you change something right before it stopped working? | 09:37 |
| kfries6 | OM26er which Ubuntu? | 09:37 |
| anom01y | Dr_Willis, is there a way to customize bootsplash theme ? | 09:37 |
| anom01y | I think mine is broke | 09:38 |
| anom01y | where it says 'xubuntu' and has the scrolling bar | 09:38 |
| Dr_Willis | anom01y: xsplash is changeable via the stuff in that xplash dir. or using the epidermis tool. the initial ubuntu white logo... noidea. | 09:38 |
| seanj | kostkon: Rebooted. Chcked the volume level in the mixer... the little meter is fluctuating like it's getting input, but there is still no sound coming out of the speakers. | 09:38 |
| om26er | tenmuzni9, yes i edited this line Option "metamodes" "1024x768_60 +0+0 1024x768 +0+0" | 09:38 |
| glick | is there ubuntu german chat? | 09:38 |

| ikonia | glick: #ubuntu-de | 09:38 |
| georgij_ | I have installed linux and now I have 4 partitions boot, swap, root, home, 3 of them is primary partitions and its says my hd can only have 3 primary partitions when installing windows xp I need windows xp also to dual boot when playing games. What to do? | 09:39 |
| tenmuzni9 | om26er, and did you try just removing that line? | 09:39 |
| om26er | tenmuzni9, yes | 09:39 |
| SuBsAm | any body know about this (text/html decoder ) ?? | 09:39 |
| SuBsAm | any body know about this (text/html decoder ) ?? | 09:39 |
| ikonia | georgij_: delete ubuntu - re-install it and use 3 primary partition, a logical partition and multiple sub logical partitions | 09:39 |
| Dr_Willis | SuBsAm: perhaps ask a better question. | 09:39 |
| kostkon | seanj, that's something i suppose. eh, since every sound passes trhrough pulse in ubuntu | 09:39 |
| sam_sam | lol Dr willis | 09:39 |
| tenmuzni9 | om26er, and did you restart after? | 09:39 |
| ikonia | georgij_: save 1 primary partition (your first one) for windows | 09:39 |
| georgij_ | ikonia: I am not using ubuntu #linux isnt working | 09:39 |
| SuBsAm | Dr_Willis look with me ? | 09:40 |
| ikonia | georgij_: sorry - this channel is for ubuntu support only | 09:40 |
| georgij_ | I cant reinstall this distro of linux | 09:40 |
| seanj | This is very annoying. My sound card is crippled in Ubuntu, and it won't let me use the official driver. | 09:40 |
| om26er | tenmuzni9, yes i did | 09:40 |
| georgij_ | ... | 09:40 |
| glick | thank ikonia | 09:40 |
| hax0r1 | I have 2pcs connected with serial/com/modem null cable. how can i verify that the connection works since i'm having problem debugging kernel remotely | 09:40 |
| Dr_Willis | SuBsAm: i dont have the slightest CLUE what you are even talking about. | 09:40 |
| kostkon | seanj, it may not be a driver prob anymore. check again your sound prefs | 09:40 |
| georgij_ | Its the same ubuntu is a distro of linux is it not? | 09:40 |
| SuBsAm | Dr_Willis when i try to watch a film the program ask me about this | 09:40 |
| seanj | kostkon: I've already checked about a dozen times. | 09:40 |
| georgij_ | I am just wondering how to make a primary partition a normal partition | 09:40 |
| georgij_ | so I can go on and install windows | 09:40 |
| ikonia | georgij_: this is for Ubuntu support only, try ##linux as I've not seen you ask anything in there | 09:40 |
| kostkon | seanj, ok :/ | 09:40 |
| kfries6 | om26er, did you try <ctrl>-<alt>-<+> and <ctrl>-<alt>-<-> to change resolutions to see if that helped? | 09:40 |
| seanj | kostkon: line-in is unmuted, and the level is close to 100%.. there is only one device listed so it's selected | 09:41 |
| SuBsAm | Dr_Willis now u have | 09:41 |
| tenmuzni9 | om26er, well i suppose you could try completele removing the driver package and reinstall/reconfigure | 09:41 |
| SuBsAm | Dr_Willis could u answar me | 09:41 |
| georgij_ | ikonia: I cant enter ##linux for some reason | 09:41 |
| om26er | tenmuzni9, ok i'll do that | 09:41 |
| Dr_Willis | SuBsAm: try giving some more dtailas as like 'what' is even asking this, im having to guess.. that it has somthing to do with wathing some sort of video? | 09:41 |
| tenmuzni9 | om26er, but what im thinking | 09:41 |
| ikonia | georgij_: sorry - this channel is only for ubuntu discussion | 09:41 |
| georgij_ | ok | 09:41 |
| georgij_ | bye | 09:41 |
| tenmuzni9 | om26er, is that it is caught in some resolution or refresh rate that your monitor or card can't handle | 09:41 |
| sam_sam | SubSam just wait someone will answer u :) | 09:42 |
| kfries6 | tenmuzni9, I tried that with my video problems, and it never worked, its like it stores a config somewhere | 09:42 |
| tenmuzni9 | maybe try setting a couple of different custom resolutions in your xorg file | 09:42 |
| seanj | I'll just install a new alsa, that should fix it, right? | 09:42 |
| kostkon | seanj, ah, in gnome-alsamixer, did you unmute the output of all your inputs? | 09:42 |
| seanj | kostkon: I'm not sure.. let me check. | 09:42 |
| om26er | tenmuzni9, no. i don't think so | 09:42 |
| syafrizal | i'm having trouble with gyache | 09:42 |
| tenmuzni9 | kfries6, you have to do more than just remove the package | 09:42 |
| SuBsAm | what is this (text/html decoder ) | 09:42 |
| SuBsAm | ? | 09:42 |
| SempreFi | hey everybody | 09:42 |
| SuBsAm | Dr_Willis what is this (text/html decoder ) ? | 09:43 |
| seanj | kostkon: I checked the "rec" box in gnome-alsamixer... now the sound works. | 09:43 |
| Dr_Willis | SuBsAm: no idea. | 09:43 |
| SuBsAm | Dr_Willis is this a package ? | 09:43 |
| seanj | kostkon: As soon as I calm down I'll thank you prefusely. | 09:43 |
| seanj | Thanks!! | 09:43 |
| Dr_Willis | SuBsAm: not a package name that ive ever heard of. | 09:43 |
| kfries6 | tenmuzni9, your right, I needed to use the keystrokes I keep suggesting to get the res and timing right | 09:43 |
| kostkon | seanj, you mean it works? | 09:43 |
| kostkon | now* | 09:43 |
| seanj | yes kostkon ... in gnome-alasmixer... the record button had to be checked. | 09:43 |
| SuBsAm | ok | 09:43 |
| Dr_Willis | SuBsAm: what prograam are you using. what are you doing with it exactly? | 09:43 |
| danlii | I upgraded my amd64 system from jaunty to karmic, and now flash won't work or even show that it's installed in firefox, neither with the installer package nor with the 64 bit alpha downloaded from adobe.com. What could be wrong? | 09:43 |
| SuBsAm | Dr_Willis from where can i download it ? | 09:43 |
| kostkon | seanj, ok :) | 09:43 |
| seanj | the bummer there is, the default mixer doesn't have a way to make line-in work.. but hey, it worked for me so that's a start | 09:44 |
| SuBsAm | Dr_Willis movie player | 09:44 |
| alabd | where is package sun-java-bin ? while installing ubuntu it installs yes ? so it should be in CD yes ? | 09:44 |
| SuBsAm | Dr_Willis the normal pro in ubuntu | 09:44 |
| kostkon | seanj, yeah, they'll have to put and "advanced" button in the new sound prefs | 09:44 |
| seanj | Ugh, making any changes to line-in in the regular mixer mutes line-in again! | 09:44 |
| seanj | yes good idea kostkon | 09:44 |
| SuBsAm | Dr_Willis is this some thing like codac in win | 09:44 |
| SuBsAm | Dr_Willis ? | 09:44 |
| seanj | Default mixer is broken :| | 09:44 |
| Dr_Willis | SuBsAm: and what video are you watching?? | 09:45 |
| alabd | and how to know whether java script is installed or not on FF ? | 09:45 |
| kostkon | seanj, that will allow access to the hardware volumes using for example gnome-alsamier, or something similar | 09:45 |
| tenmuzni9 | seanj, ive ran into all kinsd of problems like that with creative cards, random settings in random places | 09:45 |
| anom01y | Dr_Willis, that epidermis program is really cool | 09:45 |
| kostkon | seanj, yeah, i hope they'll do it | 09:45 |
| anom01y | thanks for that | 09:45 |
| bazhang | SuBsAm, is this an apple trailer from apple.com | 09:45 |

| Dr_Willis | SuBsAm: best bet. use vlc, or mplayer to watch videos. install the prope w32codecs package | 09:45 |
| knoppies | SuBsAm, I recomend VLC from video lan | 09:45 |
| SuBsAm | Dr_Willis (.rmvb) | 09:45 |

| georgij__ | Hello, I have 5 partitions: Boot, Swap, Root, Home, Unallocated Partition. I want to install Windows on my Unallocated part BUT it seems 3 of my other partitions is Primary partitions so I can't! How can I fix this? Since I cant have more than 3 primary parts..!!

| gOLDfeesh | he yif anyone is interested, I got the ov51x-jpeg webcams to install on Karmic. | 09:46 |
| gOLDfeesh | The documentation says you can't do it.. but I got it working | 09:46 |
| seanj | georgij__: I'd re-install Ubuntu with just a swap and root (which will include /home) .. then you are only using 2 partitions and Windows will accept that. | 09:47 |
| SuBsAm | aha friends i traid the vlc and mplayer not working | 09:47 |
| bazhang | georgij__, what version of ubuntu | 09:47 |
| binrapt | 10:36:47 <Dr_Willis> binrapt: check the other 'fuse' filesystems. | 09:47 |
| bazhang | whoops | 09:47 |
| sam_sam | people get kicked from here .. i didnt know that :D | 09:47 |
| binrapt | Dr_Willis I just tried that but it's kinda strange to use | 09:47 |
| binrapt | I can mount it as a normal user | 09:47 |
| SuBsAm | and the movie player asked for install this package | 09:47 |
| Dr_Willis | SuBsAm: claify whats not working.. and you DID install the w32codecs? | 09:47 |
| binrapt | But then I can only read it as root for some reason | 09:47 |

| GobiTheGoblin | nooh.. heat problems. this thing is too slow, when using a lot cpu.. it over heats and crashes | 09:52 |
| infix | syslog keeps reporting stuff about [UFW Block] IN=wlan0 PROTO=UDP... any idea why? | 09:52 |
| Dr_Willis | GobiTheGoblin: those external laptop 'fan pads' are handy | 09:52 |
| GobiTheGoblin | I need a way to hit it to 100% when I know I going to use it | 09:52 |
| GobiTheGoblin | Dr_Willis: fan pads? :D I was hoping to do something with keypad :P | 09:53 |
| Dr_Willis | GobiTheGoblin: youmean a way to 'crank it to 100%' befor you need it. | 09:53 |
| llutz | infix: iptables logging | 09:53 |
| sam_sam | Dr willis , ubottu and others u guys are so helpful m i hope u are not bots :D | 09:53 |

| alabd | while ubuntu installs from a CD , which package does it use to install java ? sun-java-bin is not in CD | 09:56 |
| SuBsAm | http://packages.medibuntu.org/ | 09:56 |
| SuBsAm | which package ? | 09:57 |
| seanj | I need to move some files to system directory.. can I do that with nautilus? | 09:57 |
| GobiTheGoblin | seanj: yea start it from terminal with sudo nautilus | 09:58 |
| sam_sam | seanj , yes | 09:58 |
| Madpilot | ubottu, java | 09:58 |
| sam_sam | or gksu nautilus | 09:58 |
| ubottu | To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository | 09:58 |
| enul | can someone please tell me how i can get the latest ati display drivers for 9.04? | 09:58 |
| SuBsAm | Dr_Willis http://packages.medibuntu.org/ | 09:58 |
| seanj | Okay, thank you. | 09:58 |
| Madpilot | alabd, see what the bot posted a few lines up | 09:58 |
| bazhang | SuBsAm, w32codecs | 09:58 |
| SuBsAm | Dr_Willis which package ? | 09:58 |
| ardchoille | GobiTheGoblin: Best to use gksudo for gui apps and reserve sudo for cli only | 09:58 |
| Dr_Willis | SuBsAm: w32codecs | 09:58 |
| SuBsAm | where ? | 09:58 |
| SuBsAm | i can't find it in the web | 09:59 |
| Dr_Willis | SuBsAm: enable the medibuntu repository and use the package manager tool | 09:59 |
| GobiTheGoblin | ardchoille: I'll keep that in mind, thx =) | 09:59 |
| ardchoille | !gksudo | 09:59 |
| ubottu | If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 09:59 |
| seanj | gksudo it is, then. | 09:59 |
| sam_sam | enul, for me my ubuntu searched appropriate driver :D | 09:59 |
| seanj | This is going more smoothly than I expected. | 09:59 |
| alabd | Madpilot: there is not sun-java6-jre in CD | 09:59 |
| SuBsAm | enable from where ? | 09:59 |
| seanj | I hope it doesn't all come crashing down :/ | 09:59 |
| Madpilot | alabd, no, I don't think there is. Get it from the repositories | 09:59 |
| enul | sam how did you manage that? | 09:59 |
| Dr_Willis | SuBsAm: you follow the directions they give and add teh medibuntu repository to the list of your repositories | 10:00 |
| alabd | Madpilot: question is that so from where CD install java while it is installing ubuntu | 10:00 |
| SuBsAm | ok | 10:00 |
| SuBsAm | i will try | 10:00 |
| sam_sam | seanj, depends on what u do. | 10:00 |
| Dr_Willis | 'repisotiry howto' link -> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu | 10:00 |

| Neremor | good morning! | 10:01 |
| GobiTheGoblin | any ideas for cranking the cpu fan up to 100%? | 10:01 |
| seanj | Good morning Neremor. | 10:01 |
| sam_sam | dont bother my typing errors lol | 10:01 |
| Neremor | I'm searching for an application to create graphical schemas... Like a mind-map or a family-tree... OpenOffice doesn't seem to support it... Thank you in advance :) | 10:02 |
| i_is_broke | GobiTheGoblin, see if there is a setting in the bios about slow for the fan and put it on normal | 10:02 |
| Madpilot | alabd, I think one of the Free versions of Java is installed by default | 10:02 |
| Madpilot | alabd, Sun Java cannot be installed from the CD. | 10:02 |
| DryGrain | a nine volt battery GobiTheGoblin | 10:02 |

| DryGrain | :D | 10:03 |
| SuBsAm | i can't make it | 10:03 |
| i_is_broke | GobiTheGoblin, ooops sorry :( | 10:03 |
| Madpilot | alabd, javascript has nothing to do with Java, from Sun or anyone else. | 10:03 |
| GobiTheGoblin | i_is_broke: =) | 10:03 |
| anom01y | is there a way to remove gnome from the login manager, but having xfce still be able to run gnome apps ? | 10:03 |
| alabd | Madpilot: how to install java script ? | 10:03 |
| Dr_Willis | gotta love confuseing names | 10:03 |
| Dr_Willis | anom01y: use a different login manager other then GDM perhaps | 10:04 |
| GobiTheGoblin | I even had to set up thermal monitors to launch panel so I know when to stop painting.. this is getting my nerves, so to speak. :P | 10:04 |
| Madpilot | alabd, it's there by default, Firefox and other browsers have it. there is no such thing as Sun javascript, and the JRE has nothing to do with javascript | 10:04 |
| ardchoille | alabd: you don't install javascript, it's interpreted by your web browser | 10:04 |
| GobiTheGoblin | the fan scaling works, but too late | 10:04 |
| Dr_Willis | anom01y: dependong on what you mean by 'remove gnome from the login manager' | 10:04 |
| GobiTheGoblin | and too little | 10:04 |

| souffledev | Thunderbird 2.0.0.23 | 10:06 |
| Dr_Willis | km0r3: using the files/settings from fedorauser in ubuntu - may mean your ownership/permissions of the users files are incorrect. You may need to fix them via the console and proper commands as root | 10:06 |

| anom01y | Dr_Willis, just removing the option to log in as gnome | 10:06 |
| simplexio | km0r3: thats how i fixed similiat problems after one update | 10:07 |
| Dr_Willis | anom01y: thats trival. theres a gnome.desktop file that gdm reads to get what items to show in that menu. | 10:07 |
| anom01y | I started experimenting with different desktop environments | 10:07 |
| anom01y | and installed like 15 of them | 10:07 |

| xt3mp0r | what's command to rar compress a directory ? anybody ? | 10:08 |
| Dr_Willis | xt3mp0r: start with rar --help, or rar -help | 10:08 |

| DocMAX | but i want a windows replacement | 10:08 |

| kostkon | DocMAX, there isn't one. if you find something, let me now | 10:09 |
| xt3mp0r | Dr_willis, thanks | 10:09 |
| syrius | fashion girl says in ubuntu terms "like omg god those icons where sooo 2006" | 10:09 |
| Dr_Willis | seanj: depends on the games.. any game needing that - may be a bit on the old side. | 10:09 |
| anom01y | Dr_Willis, I think I found it /etc/share/xsession | 10:09 |
| kostkon | DocMAX, i mena 100% replacement | 10:09 |
| seanj | Dr_Willis: it's ut2004. | 10:09 |
| km0r3 | simplexio: I already thought in that, but permissions seem to be alright.. | 10:09 |
| anom01y | and to remove KDE entirely from my computer | 10:09 |
| ardchoille | !puregnome | 10:09 |
| ubottu | If you want to remove all !KDE packages, type « sudo apt-get remove kdelibs4c2 kdelibs5-data && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » into a !terminal | 10:09 |
| km0r3 | simplexio: TTYL | 10:10 |

| DocMAX | wlan perfomrance is much poorer in ubuntu than in windows... why is that????? | 10:10 |
| iceroot_ | DocMAX: driver | 10:11 |
| Dr_Willis | DocMAX: because the wireles card makers dont fully support linux | 10:11 |
| seanj | What the hell, there's nothing here about libstdc++ | 10:12 |
| seanj | Does this mean I can't play any of my games? | 10:12 |
| iceroot_ | seanj: what? | 10:12 |
| mikeyfbi | im on a dell inspiron with the intel 945GM graphics card and just upgraded to 9.10 and can't get flash to play nice, or smooth scroll FF, or even smooth drag windows | 10:12 |
| ActionParsnip29 | yo yo yo | 10:12 |
| Dr_Willis | seanj: 5+ yr old games compiled to use old old versions of libs - can be a challange | 10:12 |
| seanj | ut2004 needs libstdc++5 but it's not in the repositories... | 10:12 |
| DocMAX | Dr_Willis: is wireless-n supported? | 10:12 |
| mikeyfbi | this has happened everytime i upgrade fresh since 8.something but i can't for the life of me remember how i fixed it | 10:12 |
| Dr_Willis | DocMAX: for some cards - i imagine it is | 10:13 |
| khensthoth | DocMAX: If you are using Ubuntu 9.10, you might be experiencing a bug. See if http://www.unixmen.com/linux-tutorials/567-internet-connexion-is-very-slow-on-karmic-koala-solution- fixes your problem | 10:13 |
| mikeyfbi | i already tried reverting the driver | 10:13 |
| sidewalk | is it possible to easily convert from Lilo to Grub? | 10:13 |
| ActionParsnip29 | mikeyfbi: tried renaming /home/$USER/.mozilla and rerunning FF? | 10:13 |
| Dr_Willis | sidewalk: its possible.. but 'easy' perhaps not | 10:13 |
| mikeyfbi | ActionParsnip29, not just a FF issue :( | 10:13 |
| sidewalk | not just "grub-install"? :-) | 10:13 |
| mikeyfbi | ActionParsnip29, also with dragging windows, and i can't enable desktop effects (i dont want too, but it's the telltale sign i've always got) | 10:14 |
| seanj | I knew this wouldn't work out. | 10:14 |
| DocMAX | i have intel 4965 agn chipset | 10:14 |
| Dr_Willis | sidewalk: grub and grub2 are also different.. its worth while learning how bootloaders work. | 10:14 |
| DocMAX | and wlan performance is very POOR | 10:14 |
| DocMAX | i compared the same video streams on windows | 10:14 |
| DocMAX | streams come from an samba server | 10:15 |
| mikeyfbi | ActionParsnip29, but i'll try that to see if it fixes the flash | 10:15 |
| seanj | Package libstdc++5 is not available, but is referred to by another package. | 10:15 |
| sam_sam | dr willis how can i learn about bootloaders .. at one place ? | 10:15 |
| ActionParsnip29 | mikeyfbi: try removing the driver, then reinstall it. reboot in between so you are using vesa driver | 10:15 |
| enul | anyone know how to get the gnome panel back up? | 10:15 |
| vak | hi all | 10:15 |
| ActionParsnip29 | !panelfix | 10:15 |

| mikeyfbi | ActionParsnip29, ok will do ... do you also have the intel chip? or just experience? ;) | 10:15 |
| ActionParsnip29 | !fixpanels | 10:15 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about fixpanels | 10:15 |
| Dr_Willis | sam_sam: start with the grub homepage.. Im suprised you are even using LILO. | 10:15 |
| vak | after I get connected to my ISP the DNS resolving doesn't work :( | 10:16 |
| ActionParsnip29 | mikeyfbi: i hate intel chips, it just makes sense to me | 10:16 |
| sam_sam | no i use grub but dont know it :( | 10:16 |
| vak | after I get connected to my ISP the DNS resolving VERY OFTEN doesn't work :( | 10:16 |
| alabd | is not getlibs ackage in ubuntu REp ? | 10:16 |
| seanj | ut2004, doom 3 and prey all need that file.. | 10:16 |

| enul | my gnome panel is missing anyone know how i can get it back? | 10:17 |
| khensthoth | vak: Try changing to OpenDNS IP to see if that solves your problem. | 10:17 |
| alabd | is not getlibs package in ubuntu reps | 10:17 |
| i_is_broke | !gnomepanel | 10:17 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about gnomepanel | 10:17 |
| vak | ActionParsnip29: khensthoth guys thanks for advices!! :) | 10:17 |
| ActionParsnip29 | enul: theres a panel factoid, i can never remember it | 10:17 |
| mikeyfbi | ActionParsnip29, wow! that worked to fix the flash issue!! | 10:17 |
| mikeyfbi | ActionParsnip29, why does that work? | 10:17 |
| Dr_Willis | !resetpanels | enul | 10:18 |
| ubottu | enul: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 10:18 |
| ActionParsnip29 | mikeyfbi: removes the settings for the driver, then gives you defaults. | 10:18 |
| simplexio | alabd: getlibs? | 10:18 |
| ActionParsnip29 | dr_willis: thanks | 10:18 |
| enul | thanks | 10:18 |
| mikeyfbi | ActionParsnip29, default video driver? or default flash plugin | 10:18 |
| sidewalk | i installed Ubuntu alternate, and then ran apt-get install ubuntu-desktop, after that the machine didnt start | 10:18 |
| alabd | yes getlibs app | 10:19 |
| sidewalk | installed ubuntu-desktop because i needed the raid support | 10:19 |
| ActionParsnip29 | mikeyfbi: default settings for the video driver | 10:19 |
| sidewalk | uh, alternate because i needed raid support | 10:19 |
| enul | that actually worked thanks :) | 10:19 |
| seanj | When I click on the mounted CD icon, there are no files. | 10:19 |
| mikeyfbi | ActionParsnip29, so when would it have changed from 'default' ... ? isn't default 'default' for a reason? | 10:19 |
| mikeyfbi | ActionParsnip29, lol, srry for the questions, but i like to try and understand instead of just do :) | 10:20 |
| simplexio | alabd: getlibs app? newer heard what it should do ? | 10:20 |
| ActionParsnip29 | mikeyfbi; maybe the settings for the old carried over and borked the new, you now have the defaults for the new driver | 10:20 |
| alabd | simplexio: getlibs /usr/bin/gyachi | 10:21 |
| seanj | So I guess Ubuntu isn't ideal for a computer gamer. | 10:21 |
| skbera | Hi Everyone | 10:21 |
| mikeyfbi | ActionParsnip29, ok well i'll try the driver thing ... hey do you have paypal? i'd like to buy you a 'beer' for your help because this has been driving me nuts | 10:21 |

| skbera | need your help enabling equalizer in Exaile player | 10:21 |
| skbera | I just installed it using UbuntuTweak in Karmic | 10:21 |
| Dr_Willis | seanj: running 4+ yr old games can always be an issue. theres games out there other then those. | 10:21 |
| skbera | I am unable to find equalizer | 10:21 |
| simplexio | alabd: and that does ? , get libs what gyachi uses, or just prints whats it wants | 10:22 |
| seanj | They work on Windows, I wish Ubuntu had the same backward compatibility. | 10:22 |
| Dr_Willis | seanj: check the ubuntu forums - there maybe some upto date guides on getting them gooing | 10:22 |
| seanj | Okay, thanks. | 10:22 |
| ActionParsnip28 | man this client is annoying | 10:22 |
| alabd | prints whats it wants simplexio | 10:22 |
| Dr_Willis | Linux has undergone 10x the changes that windows has in the last 5+ years.. :) | 10:23 |
| alabd | Dr_Willis: getlibs package ? | 10:23 |
| Dr_Willis | alabd: never heard ofit. | 10:23 |
| seanj | Yeah, no doubt. Windows is stale and bloated. | 10:23 |
| ActionParsnip28 | alabd: it can be used to see what deps a programme needs | 10:23 |
| Dr_Willis | seanj: thers a dozen free quake3 based games out . and quakelive does work in linux. | 10:24 |
| seanj | Yes! Quake Live is good. | 10:24 |
| Dr_Willis | and a great many games work via wine very well. | 10:24 |
| seanj | omg... my CD drive is running so slow. | 10:24 |
| ActionParsnip28 | get Penumbra if you want a scare ;) | 10:25 |

| ubottu | Package penumbra does not exist in karmic | 10:25 |
| Dr_Willis | heh | 10:25 |
| seanj | Should a file be moving at 1.5 MB from a CD? That's really slow. | 10:25 |

| isilion | Hi all. I have a little bug with compiz + aiglx + intel. it was working perfect, but i formatted, reinstalled debian, and followed de guides of compiz-fusion to install aiglx and the debian ones for compiz. now i have a problem: it runs extremely slow. i.e. screen freezes a while when rotating the cube moving a window to the edge of the screen. someone can help me? | 10:27 |
| ActionParsnip28 | !debian | isilion | 10:28 |
| ubottu | isilion: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! | 10:28 |
| mikeyfbi | ActionParsnip28, just wondering if you have paypal ... i'd like to buy you a 'beer' for helping me out ... that problem was driving me crazy and actually forcing me to use windows more than anyone wants too | 10:28 |
| Dr_Willis | CHESLYN: the ubuntu-tweak homepage has repos you can set up and packages to download | 10:28 |
| ActionParsnip28 | isilion: please join #debian for debian support | 10:28 |
| ActionParsnip28 | mikeyfbi: no worries man, makes the world go round | 10:28 |
| ActionParsnip28 | mikeyfbi: its called a "community" for a reason ;-) | 10:29 |
| isilion | ActionParsnip28, i had the same problem with ubuntu and gnewsense. it seems to be that Xorg is hosed. perhaps i can have better help in this community | 10:29 |
| mikeyfbi | ActionParsnip28, ok :) they totally need a way to 'thank' people in here tho ... give awesome people like you at least some recognition | 10:29 |
| ActionParsnip28 | isilion: you are running debian, your support isnt here | 10:29 |
| isilion | ActionParsnip28, im sure it isnt' ap roblem related to debian, but related to Xorg | 10:29 |

| alabd | actionParsnip2 see http://pastebin.com/f6e2df136 java is for amd and linux is 32 | 10:31 |
| mikeyfbi | paschu, does it load? | 10:31 |
| Dr_Willis | CHESLYN: its not officially supported.. and thus not in the default repos.. Install the proper repos.. and you can apt-get install it... | 10:31 |

| isilion | mikeyfbi, 865g, but it worked perfectly before. im sure is a software problem | 10:31 |
| mikeyfbi | paschu, does it seem frozen? or just blank? | 10:32 |
| isilion | perhaps a misconfigured Xorg file | 10:32 |
| mikeyfbi | isilion, did you just recently install or upgrade distros? | 10:32 |
| paschu | mikeyfbi: its just blank. doesnt seems frozen | 10:32 |
| isilion | mikeyfbi, no, im using a fresh lenny install | 10:32 |
| mikeyfbi | paschu, let me download it and see | 10:32 |

| ActionParsnip28 | livingdaylight: sudo rm -rf folder. make sure you need nothing in the folders or subfolders | 10:33 |
| mikeyfbi | isilion, let me see if i can find the link | 10:34 |
| livingdaylight | ActionParsnip28, thank you | 10:34 |

| naftilos76 | hi everyone, i have a Intel Quad 9550 with 4 GB of RAM. I used to have installed server kernel compiled with PAE so that i can see all my RAM. Now in 9.10, server kernel or the other pae kernel do not work. After the white ubuntu logo, in both cases, the screen goes into text mode and it starts blinking showing me the prompt at the point where i have to enter my login and pass. However, when being there, the keyboard is not responsive so i have to pre | 10:35 |
| naftilos76 | ss multiple time a key in order for it to appear. Thus i had no luck entering my pass so that i could see what happens next. The blinking seems to me like an endless loop. The HD keeps blinking along with the screen! | 10:35 |
| alabd | actionParsnip28 are you sure ? | 10:35 |
| mikeyfbi | isilion, what distro are you using again? | 10:35 |
| isilion | mikeyfbi, debian lenny | 10:35 |
| iKernel | naftilos76, is your cpu a 64-bit cpu? | 10:35 |
| naftilos76 | 32bit | 10:36 |
| iKernel | naftilos76, ok, are you using a smp kernel? | 10:36 |
| mikeyfbi | isilion, oh sorry, i use ubuntu ... i dont know if it would be the same info ... im not too experienced, just thought it was the same issue | 10:36 |
| iKernel | it isn't nessecary but may fix the problem | 10:36 |

| iKernel | seanj, you're using mesa for cpu 3D accerlation instead of using your graphics cards' drivers | 10:37 |
| serengeti | naftilos76, Intel Quad 9550 is 64-bit I think | 10:37 |
| mikeyfbi | paschu, i think you should try to uninstall it, and reinstall it | 10:37 |
| Dr_Willis | seanj: its a 5 yr old game.. and proberly doing some improper system calls perhaps. | 10:37 |
| naftilos76 | iKernel: if i'm correct no - this is what uname -r shows: 2.6.31-14-generic . This kernel works fine but this: 2.6.31-14-generic-pae | 10:37 |
| seanj | iKernel: I'm using binary nvidia driver from repo | 10:38 |
| seanj | Dr_Willis: it works fine on Slackware... | 10:38 |
| iKernel | seanj, did you make sure you enabled the driver then restart your system? | 10:38 |
| seanj | yes iKernel | 10:38 |
| naftilos76 | serengeti - how can i tell the difference? does /proc contain any info? | 10:38 |
| iKernel | seanj, sorry, not sure | 10:38 |
| Dr_Willis | seanj: and slackware is proberly not using the same version of X or alsa/pulse audio as ubuntu | 10:38 |
| FloodBot3 | !netsplit | 10:38 |
| ubottu | netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit | 10:38 |
| === Monocian_ is now known as Monocian | ||
| Dr_Willis | seanj: could also be nvidia driver version differance issues | 10:39 |
| iKernel | naftilos76, there's info in /proc/cpu that will tell you whether your cpu is 64-bit or not | 10:39 |
| serengeti | naftilos76, it's in your processor's specs: http://processorfinder.intel.com/details.aspx?sSpec=SLAWQ | 10:39 |
| seanj | Sure a lot more complications than my previous system | 10:39 |
| naftilos76 | yes yes - let me see that | 10:39 |
| serengeti | naftilos76, it has Intel® EM64T in supported features | 10:39 |
| ActionParsnip28 | vak_: 208.67.220.220 and 208.67.222.222 | 10:40 |

| Dr_Willis | gotta love opendns.. except for how they grab your search site.. | 10:40 |
| iKernel | naftilos76, does your cpu have Intel Virtualization Technology? if not, then I don't see why you're running a pae kernel | 10:40 |
| ActionParsnip28 | dr_willis: run your own dns, faster | 10:41 |
| SuBsAm | how can i install this (text/html decoder) ? | 10:41 |
| naftilos76 | serengeti - so? does that mean that i should be using 64bit version? | 10:41 |
| serengeti | naftilos76, I think so :) | 10:41 |
| seanj | All the scenery in Doom 3 is black. | 10:41 |

| iKernel | seanj, sounding a lot like you're having driver issues | 10:42 |
| naftilos76 | iKernel - i'm almost sure that it has but i have seen that using 2.6.31-14-generic my RAM appears as 3GB! | 10:42 |

| fighter1 | ActionParsnip28: this is my xorg.conf http://pastebin.org/55744 im trying to get 1280*1024 and changed the file but no effect what should i do | 10:42 |
| Dr_Willis | SuBsAm: you still havent installed the w32codecs from medibuntu yet? | 10:42 |
| iKernel | naftilos76, you need to use a 64 bit kernel to support 4gb+ ram | 10:42 |
| seanj | Driver is 185 series... worked fine on Windows. | 10:42 |
| serengeti | naftilos76, all the Intel quads support 64 bit as far as I know, they're basically two core 2s "glued" together | 10:42 |
| khensthoth | skbera: It seems that the equalizer is not implemented in the 0.3.0.x branch, but it has been implemented in 0.3.1. If you are adventurous enough you might want to try to install that. | 10:42 |
| ActionParsnip28 | naftilos: it will, thats all 32bit can use (without PAE) | 10:43 |
| comicinker | g | 10:43 |
| SuBsAm | medibuntu i didn't under stand any thing from this site | 10:43 |
| seanj | Maybe Nexuiz will work better. | 10:43 |

| livingdaylight | is there a Songbird experto here? | 10:44 |
| alex88 | khensthoth: that one controlling pidgin, empathy ecc, how can i start it? | 10:44 |
| iKernel | naftilos76, because you were either running a pae kernel or a 64bit kernel :o) | 10:44 |
| SuBsAm | how ? | 10:44 |
| livingdaylight | Songbird doesn't leave icon in panel? | 10:44 |
| iKernel | naftilos76, so. PAE kernel isn't working, and generic kernel won't go over 3gb of ram. my suggestion to you is to install a 64-bit kernel, which will support all of your 4 gigs of ram without the need for PAE | 10:45 |
| Dr_Willis | SuBsAm: that same URL shows you the proper command.... sudo apt-get install w32codecs | 10:45 |
| livingdaylight | is there a #songbird room? | 10:45 |
| isilion | what means those warnings? "(WW) AIGLX: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x23" it goes from 0x23 to 0x32 | 10:45 |
| Dr_Willis | SuBsAm: all i am doing is cut/pasteing the info that site gives | 10:45 |
| khensthoth | alex88: *should* be in the list. When you search for Indicator Applet in the "Add to Panel" list doesn't it come up? | 10:45 |
| iKernel | naftilos76, plus, the 64 bit kernel will make full use of your cpu's 64 bit architecture... so it should run a little faster :) | 10:45 |
| naftilos76 | iKernel - the question is : is the 64bit version suitable for my cpu? | 10:45 |
| code | Someone know a package that provides ie6 and maybe ie7 for running on jaunty safely? | 10:46 |
| alex88 | khensthoth: damn, found it.. thank you man | 10:46 |
| iKernel | naftilos76, yes, because your cpu is a 64bit cpu | 10:46 |

| Dr_Willis | SuBsAm: you did a 'sudo apt-get update' 'sudo apt-get upgrade' then try again | 10:48 |
| alex88 | khensthoth: last thing, i have cairo dock,from some days it shows an app running, i think it uses the desktop, but can't find it, it seems that it has no window..but there is its icon in the bar | 10:49 |
| Dr_Willis | seanj: if you are a 'gamer' and thats your core thing.. stick to windows then. | 10:49 |
| Dr_Willis | seanj: of course a hard core 'gamer' isent normally playing 4+ yr old games. either. | 10:49 |
| seanj | :/ | 10:49 |
| iKernel | seanj, or make sure you get a cpu which supports hardware virtualization and wait till xen's vga passthrough code matures a bit | 10:49 |
| khensthoth | alex88: I am not familiar with cairo dock at all, ask around here. :) | 10:50 |
| Dr_Willis | seanj: dont expect ubuntu or linux to test against every old comercial (and perhaps baddly written tobegin with) game out there. | 10:50 |
| iKernel | seanj, then you can set up a windows guest running under linux and play your favourite windows games under windows | 10:50 |
| Dr_Willis | I recall Unreal3 having major issues when it was released for linux even. | 10:50 |
| alex88 | khensthoth: i'll try better myself, i also can't kill is.. :S btw, thank again for help | 10:50 |
| Zhane | how do I install a simple gui for ubuntu server? | 10:51 |
| seanj | I'm trying not to get mad. | 10:51 |
| khensthoth | alex88: No worries. | 10:51 |
| seanj | Why can't this just work? | 10:51 |
| iKernel | seanj, alternatively, you could try using wine (free), codeweavers (costs, designed for desktop applications but works with some games) or cedega (costs, works with many windows games) | 10:51 |
| Dr_Willis | seanj: because computers, and os's are complex. and games are often very complex | 10:51 |
| khensthoth | Zhane: How about webmin? http://www.webmin.com/ | 10:51 |
| seanj | Yeah.. | 10:51 |
| Zhane | khensthoth: any thing like gnome? | 10:52 |
| Dr_Willis | Zhane: you mean install a tool to admin the server? or do you want X on the server? | 10:52 |
| seanj | Wine and its derivatives don't seem to work too well for me. | 10:52 |
| Zhane | X on server | 10:52 |
| Dr_Willis | Zhane: you can install X and a window manager if you want | 10:52 |
| Zhane | hmm | 10:52 |
| Dr_Willis | seanj: i have had great success with wine. It just depends on the game | 10:52 |
| Zhane | Dr_Willis: which is? | 10:52 |
| seanj | I thought I had an alternative to Windows :/ | 10:52 |
| iKernel | Zhane, you want a simple gui, I highly reccommend xfce | 10:52 |
| Dr_Willis | Zhane: if you want gnome use 'ubuntu-desktop' but thats overkill | 10:52 |
| iKernel | seanj, mind you, none of those will work if your nvidia drivers aren't working | 10:52 |
| seanj | It does depend on the game.. in my case most of my games don't work. | 10:52 |
| fighter1 | this is my xorg.conf http://pastebin.org/55744 im trying to get 1280*1024 and changed the file but no effect what should i do | 10:52 |
| antonio_ | hi all! can anybody help me with static ip configuration?^ | 10:53 |
| Dr_Willis | Zhane: or install icewm, or some opther light window manager | 10:53 |
| icqn | I get this error message trying to configure my brother printer--> There was an error during the CUPS operation: 'server-error-internal-error'. | 10:53 |
| iKernel | fighter1, does your graphics card support 1280*1024 resolution? | 10:53 |
| seanj | iKernel: I've used the same driver version on Windows... it's annoying that it's not working on Ubuntu, and that a faulty driver is distributed with Ubuntu. | 10:53 |
| Zhane | hmm which other window manager other than icewm and xfce? | 10:53 |
| fighter1 | iKernel: ya it does and its ok on winXP | 10:53 |
| Tatzelbrumm | I have a question related to swapping touchpad buttons in ubuntu 9.10 ... gnome-control-center doesn't work. _After_ starting up GNOME, the command xinput set-button-map "AlpsPS/2 ALPS DualPoint TouchPad" 3 2 1 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 does the trick, but how can I execute this automatically during the startup sequence? | 10:54 |
| Dr_Willis | seanj: the nvidia drivers are controlled by nvidia - not ubuntu. we just have packages for them - to make installing them easier. | 10:54 |
| Tatzelbrumm | Related question: How do I name a .fdi file in /etc/hal/fdi/policy , so that it is found at the right time in the startup sequence? | 10:54 |
| Dr_Willis | Zhane: dozens of them. | 10:54 |
| iKernel | seanj, works fine for me | 10:54 |
| seanj | Why distribute them if they don't work? | 10:54 |
| Dr_Willis | seanj: your logic is faulty. | 10:54 |
| iKernel | Option "metamodes" "1280x1024-60 +0+0; 1280x1024 +0+0" try changing that to Option "metamodes" "1280x1024-60 +0+0" | 10:54 |
| iKernel | fighter1,^^ | 10:54 |
| seanj | Why give someone broken software? That's sabotage. | 10:54 |
| Dr_Willis | all 3 of my nvidia machines work fine. | 10:54 |
| fighter1 | iKernel: ok lets see | 10:55 |
| seanj | Oh, so it's my fault. Thanks. | 10:55 |
| seanj | Figured that was coming. | 10:55 |
| khensthoth | Zhane: metacity, if it's just a window manager you want. Or refer to http://xwinman.org/ | 10:55 |

| discovery | hi!!!i downloaded a movie of 698 mb through bit torrent client. but when i run it it just goes for 5 sec...can anyone help | 10:55 |
| Dr_Willis | seanj: its most likely due to bad coding of the orignal game. | 10:55 |

Thinkpad X200 with intel 5300abgn wifi... some interaction between new kernel and network manager? | 10:56 |
| Dr_Willis | seanj: and them doing 'work arounds/shortcuts' in parts. | 10:56 |
| noah22 | I burned ubuntu9.10 iso but having trouble booting the cd, theres just a _ at the top of the screen, will not load I am going into bios and booting from my cd drive | 10:56 |
| iKernel | Dr_Willis, ut2004 retail version works fine for me | 10:56 |
| iKernel | seanj, the software is not broken, it has been thoroughly tested used and enjoyed by many users, there is just something that you are not doing correctly | 10:56 |
| seanj | Dr_Willis: no, it isn't. Both games I've tried work on every other distro I've used. It's a problem with Ubuntu, but you would rather blame my faulty logic. | 10:56 |
| Dr_Willis | its very hard to trouble shoot closed source software. | 10:56 |

| SuBsAm | Dr_Willis nothing did also | 10:56 |
| noah22 | khensthoth: no, but the earlier version of ubuntu loaded fine | 10:57 |
| iKernel | seanj, now listen here, I am now going to get my ut2004 cds and i am going install and play the game and post a screenshot to prove to you that there is NOTHING wrong with ubuntu | 10:57 |
| noah22 | I downloaded this from the official website | 10:57 |
| kostkon | discovery, either it's corrupted or you don;t have the necessary codecs | 10:57 |
| kostkon | !codecs | discovery | 10:57 |
| ubottu | discovery: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 10:57 |
| seanj | iKernel: running the game made my system freeze up. That did not happen on Slackware, Mandriva or ANY version of Windows. | 10:57 |
| seanj | So you can't really prove anything to me by sending me a screen shot. | 10:58 |
| discovery | its .avi i have the codecs,what if it is corrupted is theer a way to play | 10:58 |
| fighter1 | iKernel: i rebooted its still the same as 1024*768 and when i reboot then in nvidia setting the resolutions automatically changes to auto | 10:58 |

| kostkon | discovery, you can try fixing it using divfix++ | 10:58 |
| iKernel | fighter1, odd.... not sure | 10:58 |
| kostkon | discovery, http://divfixpp.sourceforge.net/index.php | 10:59 |
| seanj | Anyway, since it's my fault for following the driver installation prompts Ubuntu gave me, and trying to run a game that says runs on Linux on the box, I better go before I lose my temper. | 10:59 |
| iKernel | seanj, im using the same operating system and the same version of that operating system a screenshot is proof that it works | 10:59 |

| kbp | I had a ubuntu server 9.04 with X on my laptop, I removed that hdd and put it in my nettop with atom ion 330. It displays X but it doesn't recognise LAN & wireless LAN. So I cannot do anything with it. Is there a way to try, except re-install everything? | 11:26 |

| kostkon | toffan, did you try to setup your sound in system → preferences → sound? | 11:27 |
| Supremacy | it will work, and then the internet just dies | 11:27 |

| khensthoth | toffan: Try to see if the instruction in http://forums.techarena.in/operating-systems/1266038.htm by BasBak applies to you. | 11:30 |

| sabgenton | Dr_Willis: how did u install it | 11:31 |
| Dr_Willis | sabgenton: you dd'd the iso to a flash drive? thats now how you installit to a usb. | 11:31 |
| jongbergs | khensthoth: i mean the command to open the gui text editor, same like gedit in gnome | 11:31 |
| Dr_Willis | sabgenton: i set up grub2 toboot the iso file. :) i got a 4 in one boot usb that way | 11:31 |
| Dr_Willis | sabgenton: or use unetbootin/usb-creator-tool | 11:31 |
| sabgenton | er ok | 11:32 |
| Dr_Willis | sabgenton: as far as i know it IS a iso filesystem | 11:32 |
| sabgenton | oh | 11:32 |
| sabgenton | crazy | 11:32 |
| Dr_Willis | sabgenton: the old netbook rellease was a .img | 11:32 |
| Dr_Willis | that one had to be dd's to a flash drive | 11:32 |
| khensthoth | jongbergs: I believe it's just "mousepad". | 11:32 |
| sabgenton | yeah I think thats what I was thinking | 11:32 |
| sabgenton | Dr_Willis: if you used your own grub them mabye the ISO doen't have the means to boot on its own? | 11:33 |
| Dr_Willis | sabgenton: never noticed. ive only used ghe grub2 thing and unetbootin/usb-creator-tool | 11:34 |
| Dr_Willis | sabgenton: try it in virtualbox? :) | 11:34 |

| Dr_Willis | sabgenton: it boots in virtuaalbox here.. so it IS a bootable iso image | 11:35 |
| sabgenton | Dr_Willis: so the image is trully iso9660? | 11:35 |

| iKernel | toffan, use the arrow keys to put up the sound | 11:37 |
| erUSUL | Mrokii: go to the sane webpage to check compatibility | 11:37 |
| sabgenton | I spose you mounted it with VB as a cd? | 11:38 |
| lindar | Something about dev loop1 and not being able to mount cow? The Netbook Remix stopped right at the same place where it did before where it couldn't mount cow, whatever that is. | 11:38 |
| toffan | iKernel: there is no arrow key | 11:38 |

| dethaddr | you can stream media from your comp over your network | 11:55 |

| khensthoth | new_to_linux: No worries. | 11:55 |
| lindar | The netbook remix gives me some error right after I select "Install Ubuntu" which states something about a loop and a cow, then if I hit return, it just gives me a cursor. | 11:55 |
| new_to_linux | khensthoth: any idea how i could make use of all 5 speakers instead of 2? | 11:55 |
| Dr_Willis | napster: 9.10 is slowly changeing everything to upstart. I imagine Mint will follow. | 11:55 |
| lindar | The desktop version will load through everything, flash yellow (it looks like a fancy desktop wallpaper), then go to a black screen with an hourglass mouse-thingy. | 11:55 |
| khensthoth | new_to_linux: Again, it's in the Sound Preference, under Hardware tab | 11:55 |
| david_ | lindar, did you buy the usb or download and build? | 11:56 |
| lindar | After that it just sits there on the black screen. | 11:56 |

| newbie | FloodBot3: 2pac Gangsters paradise | 11:57 |
| david_ | lindar, ok | 11:57 |

| [psyk] | Ok, here's my problem: I installed truecrypt, then attempted to remove it with the rescue CD because it got screwed up. I paused the process, and lost the CD. Now my main partition is corrupt, and I need to wipe my HDD. How can I go about doing that> | 11:58 |
| david_ | lindar, did you verify checksum after download? | 11:58 |
| new_to_linux | lindar: In windows, it works perfectly, so i think it does | 11:58 |
| * lindar is an audio engineer, so magically knows something about sound stuff. =D | 11:58 | |
| lindar | It may be that the drivers under Linux don't support the 5.1 stuffs. | 11:58 |
| lindar | david_ I don't know what that means. | 11:59 |
| david_ | psyk, gparted or parted majik should work for you | 11:59 |
| new_to_linux | lindar: anyway i could test if it supports? | 11:59 |
| david_ | lindar, on the download page, right under the file will be a long checksum | 11:59 |
| lindar | new_to_linux: I have no idea as I've used linux all of twenty minutes in my entire life. =D | 11:59 |
| khensthoth | lindar: Verifying checksum is a way of checking if what you have downloaded is "correct" so to say. | 12:00 |

Is it best to have an ext2 or ntfs formatted system? What would I need for the ubuntu | 12:01 |
| david_ | lindar, my suggestion to you is not to start with 9.10 | 12:01 |
| david_ | 9.04 is last stable release | 12:01 |

| khensthoth | abhinavmodi: Neh, just put those IP into your router under DNS, or alternatively follow this http://www.unixmen.com/linux-tutorials/567-internet-connexion-is-very-slow-on-karmic-koala-solution- | 12:11 |
| oCean_ | lindar: this might be related: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/casper/+bug/219192 | 12:11 |
| david_ | lindar, yeah you most definitely would want a netbook version I would assume | 12:11 |
| Rodensky | well... you can defrag on windows! isn't that enough for you? | 12:12 |
| abhinavmodi | following the link is the issue here ;) I have one PC only ;) | 12:12 |
| freaky[t] | anyone got Aion to install/run in ubuntu? | 12:12 |
| abhinavmodi | will try this and get back | 12:12 |
| lindar | Link for the older netbook one? | 12:12 |
| david_ | Rodensky, you can get expensive software with confusing manuals and product keys too!!! LOL | 12:13 |
| abhinavmodi | khensthoth: that works for now ! | 12:13 |
| Dr_Willis | david_: can i get DONGLE based copy protection also? | 12:13 |
| abhinavmodi | thanks a ton. one question - when I connect to a vpn (cisco), these need to be changed | 12:13 |
| david_ | Dr_Willis, probably wouldn't have to look too hard ;o) | 12:13 |
| abhinavmodi | and once the vpn disconnects, the namservers need to change back | 12:13 |
| oCean_ | lindar: http://releases.ubuntu.com/jaunty/, see UNR USB image | 12:14 |
| Dr_Willis | david_: flash back to the old autocad and other programs days.. :) | 12:14 |
| abhinavmodi | so how do I work on that cleanly ? should I put them under /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/interfaces ? | 12:14 |
| david_ | Dr_Willis, OUCH, I don't want too....hehehe | 12:14 |
| Claw6 | is there any way to minimize opengl fullscreen applications like ut2004 ? | 12:14 |
| Claw6 | i want to switch to my desktop when playing | 12:14 |
| khensthoth | abhinavmodi: I have no experience in that unfortunately. | 12:15 |
| Dr_Willis | Claw6: ut2004 actually worked? :) someone in here earlier was having issues.. then he got mad and left. | 12:15 |
| Dr_Willis | iKernel: did you ever get Ut2004 working? | 12:15 |
| abhinavmodi | khensthoth: np .. will figure it out. opendns rocks :) | 12:15 |
| Claw6 | Dr_Willis, it works for me yes | 12:15 |
| Rodensky | david_, now even linux supports that, yet it has no support for defrags like windows does and has no installing interface with at least 5 dialogs like windows does!! | 12:15 |
| Claw6 | no problem | 12:15 |
| Dr_Willis | Claw6: :) where were you about 2 hrs ago. heh. | 12:16 |
| Rodensky | this is a low tech os... :P | 12:16 |
| david_ | Dr_Willis, I think I get like 4 or 5 reinstalls with Vista before I have to buy another copy....YAY!!!!! | 12:16 |
| Dr_Willis | david_: wee! Call that support # :) | 12:16 |

| khensthoth | paschu: Restart? | 12:18 |

| david_ | Dr_Willis, yeah, if I wanna move my copy to another computer (don't know why I would ever wanna do something stupid like that) gotta call irans hotline and ask Bob's permission...LOL | 12:19 |
| paschu | khensthoth: but i want that ubuntu doesnt crashes anymore | 12:19 |
| Claw6 | when does it crash paschu | 12:19 |
| khensthoth | paschu: Where/when does it crash, and/or what did you do before it craches? | 12:19 |

| Claw6 | Rodensky, sounds greate | 12:21 |
| freaky[t] | i cant play aion nor ut3 on linux :( | 12:21 |

That router is then connected to the machine I am trying to forward the connection to. I have enabled masquerading for eth0 in the "Firewall" config. What am I missing? | 12:48 |

| khensthoth | livingdaylight_: It just adds to that directory, but information regarding the background is stored in an xml file in .gnome2 in your home directory. | 14:03 |

| _Trullo | http://pastebin.com/m483cf488 I'm getting that error.. | 14:05 |
| khensthoth | livingdaylight_: Nope, just drag whatever pictures you want to add to the collection to Appearance > Background. The xml file is automatically updated when you do that. | 14:05 |

| Jamiell | Sorry. I get no error messages but it does not start when I click on it | 14:08 |
| livingdaylight_ | khensthoth, ok, i'm dragging the wallpaper.jpg's from usr/share/backgrounds as you suggest into the Appearnces gui and it works | 14:08 |
| wknight8111 | apport for instance wants a package name, and I'm not sure what package "my system freezes" is under | 14:09 |

| kuttans | hello everybody anyone have idea about the missing x11 folder in my /etc folder | 14:12 |
| khensthoth | livingdaylight_: I would suggest you create a .wallpaper directory in your home folder and use that to build up your wallpaper though. I am not sure but when Ubuntu updates it *might* delete those that you have added. As /usr/share/background is in the root directory, and you aren't really supposed to mess with it. | 14:12 |
| kuttans | im not having the folder in /etc and i want to configure my X to use compiz | 14:12 |

| erUSUL | Micheil: no | 14:13 |
| khensthoth | livingdaylight_: I really have no idea if Ubuntu will delete it. Most likely it wouldn't. | 14:13 |
| livingdaylight_ | but, ok, i'll create a .wallpaper folder... but i thought usr/share/backgrounds was the designated folder for backgrounds rather than createing another one | 14:13 |
| seberg | if I did apt-get source on a package and modify the code a bit, is some simple way I can build a package from that to install it instead of the normal one? | 14:14 |
| Micheil | livingdaylight_: more then likely, the other alternative could be storing them in say, /opt/wallpapers/ and then symlinking that into /usr/share/background/ | 14:14 |
| livingdaylight_ | khensthoth, don't see why. just as i've added fonts to /usr/share/fonts | 14:14 |
| Micheil | erUSUL: okay.. is there a maximum that ubuntu will use? | 14:14 |
| livingdaylight_ | should we not be adding to already existing folders that are designated to backgrounds and fonts etc? in root or creating separate ones? | 14:15 |
| wknight8111 | anybody able to at least point me in the right direction to help get my problems solved/reported? | 14:15 |
| erUSUL | Micheil: well in theory no; but you will tired of waiting for linux to recover from a swap storm | 14:15 |
| Micheil | livingdaylight_: well, really you could put the wallpapers in /usr/share/backgrounds, just like fonts, although, if you ever need to reinstall, you need to remember where those files are, and make sure you don't forghet them | 14:15 |
| fx3 | whats your question wknight8111 ? | 14:15 |
| Micheil | erUSUL: swap storm? | 14:15 |
| wknight8111 | fx3: major stability problems in karmic. Freezing, hanging, won't boot sometimes, etc | 14:15 |

| ganymede | hi, i have 10 ubuntu machines that are part of a compute cluster and i'd like a way to monitor them. i see there are monitoring packaging like cacti, but cacti seemed too heavyweight for me. i don't need graphs of CPU usage over time, but i would like to be able to check cpu usage and free memory on all of this at this instant to find out which node has free cores for a new process. does anyone have a recommendation? | 14:36 |
| CShadowRun | wiehan: i'm not really sure tbh, maybe this guide will help. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows | 14:37 |
| CShadowRun | ganymede: python + /proc? | 14:37 |
| Jamiell | does anyone know of any good c,c++, java or programming tutroials | 14:37 |
| BA^ | epinky: thanks. i'm pretty sure it's a 1ghz but looks like i'm lacking in the mem dept | 14:37 |

| Sj4lut | I forgot to create bootboster partition. Now... My first partition is used for a swap... Is it possible to "unmount" swap partition and edit it? | 14:38 |
| ganymede | CShadowRun, as in, just write one up a script really quickly? | 14:38 |
| joe_Loftus | Hi...is any one else having issues drawing with either a mouse or a graphics tablet in 9.10? The same hardware worked fine in 9.04. | 14:38 |
| CShadowRun | ganymede: yea, isn't that hard to pull up CPU stats from /proc | 14:38 |
| Sj4lut | I forgot to create bootboster partition. Now... My first partition is used for a swap... Is it possible to "unmount" swap partition and edit it? While I'm in ubuntu? | 14:38 |
| |_\ | Nobody knows how to start an application minimized? I wish to have the console minimized every time I log on. | 14:38 |
| CShadowRun | ganymede: i can chuck you some example code if you like i've done it in python | 14:38 |
| ganymede | CShadowRun, sorry, i forgot to mention that i guess i'd like a web interface so my users can know which node has free cores | 14:38 |
| CShadowRun | ganymede: ah | 14:38 |
| CShadowRun | ganymede: python+django+/proc? ;) | 14:39 |
| CShadowRun | (Yes, i'm terrible) | 14:39 |
| ganymede | CShadowRun, i was actually thinking about putting something together with daemons in perl that are webservers that just serve the output of ps aux and free -m and then a webserver reads throse from each node and prints it out | 14:39 |
| epinky | Sj4lut: you'll have to edit /etc/fstab | 14:39 |
| blip- | hi, I just installed ubuntu 9.10 64bit.... when I booted my desktop... there is a little green box in the corner of the screen that says "Unsupported Hardware"... it has the AMD logo.... the funny thing is I have an Intel CPU not AMD. on the other hard the restricted fglrx drivers for my ATI 5870 don't get enabled even when I "Activate" it... | 14:39 |
| BA^ | if i have compiz installed can that slow things down? | 14:39 |
| === Guest36199 is now known as mab | ||
| ganymede | CShadowRun, but it'd be nice if they could use a well-documented system for after i leave this job and they get a new admin | 14:40 |
| Sj4lut | epinky: can you guide me please? | 14:40 |
| oCean_ | ganymede: maybe you'd like "sar" (from sysstat packagE) | 14:40 |
| leagris | Jamiell: I'd like to find good c,c++, java tutorial especially dedicated to the linux environment as well. Don't know where. | 14:40 |
| CShadowRun | ganymede: yea, well i don't know of anything like that, good luck finding it though :) | 14:40 |
| epinky | Sj4lut: do you feel confortable with command line? | 14:40 |
| Davidov | hi to all | 14:40 |
| Sj4lut | epinky: yes | 14:40 |
| Sj4lut | epinky: I think so | 14:40 |
| Jamiell | leagris: Yea same here | 14:41 |
| Sj4lut | epinky: why do you ask? | 14:41 |
| Davidov | I have a simply question: how to run a check disk in ubuntu ? is in there a command ? | 14:41 |
| LjL | !fsck | Davidov | 14:41 |
| ubottu | Davidov: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 14:41 |
| epinky | Sj4lut: you've already modified with fdisk? | 14:41 |
| scunizi | blip-: then it looks like it's your video card it's complaining about. ATI is a b***h to get working sometimes.. | 14:42 |
| Sj4lut | epinky: no I just installed ubuntu | 14:42 |
| Davidov | ok tnx | 14:42 |
| ganymede | oCean_, thanks, i'll look into it a little bit to see if i can get it to monitor all the nodes from one place | 14:42 |
| Sj4lut | epinky: or would it be faster if I reinstall it :D after 5mins :D | 14:42 |
| acovrig | how-to adjust firewall? | 14:42 |
| blip- | scunizi, yeah that's why I wanted a nvidia... but compared to the GTX295, the 5870 is just so much better designed and cheaper. | 14:43 |
| epinky | Sj4lut: a fresh-install is always better :) | 14:43 |
| BA^ | !ufw | 14:43 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist | 14:43 |
| oCean_ | ganymede: hm, in that case you would need access to /proc on all systems... | 14:43 |
| scunizi | blip-: but tough to get working.. check the forums at www.ubuntuforums.org and www.google.com/linux .. just reference the card number and "ubuntu" and you should come up with some stuff. | 14:44 |
| duddl | irc://irc.Abjects.net/elitemusic | 14:44 |
| BA^ | other than lubuntu which distro would work good on 1ghz/256ram laptop? | 14:44 |
| ganymede | oCean_, maybe i can run sar on each node and get it to print output into a place on the NFS server so they end up in the same place...? | 14:45 |
| blip- | scunizi, cool. thanks | 14:45 |
| scunizi | BA^: DSL ... damn small linux | 14:45 |

| oCean_ | ganymede: sure, something like that. Or gather info through ssh remote command. I'd say search google, maybe someone has already done that :) | 14:46 |
| duddl | sry | 14:47 |
| yoshx | xorg.conf is not in /etc/X11/ ? | 14:47 |

| aeon-ltd | brianski1: are you using gnome + metacity? | 14:51 |
| Bardology | Where should I be looking for the config for this? | 14:51 |
| brianski1 | Gummi_: uh, what does that have to do with icon color? | 14:51 |
| yoshx | ok i didn't knew | 14:52 |
| erUSUL | !lamp | Bardology | 14:52 |
| Gummi_ | brianski1, I typed wrong nick | 14:52 |
| ubottu | Bardology: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 14:52 |

| wknight8111 | I'm sure I don't have enough information there, will supply anything else that people need to see | 14:53 |
| aeon-ltd | brianski1: there should be settings in gnome-appearences-manager to select what icon set to use | 14:53 |

| brianski1 | aeon-ltd: oh you know what i bet i'm using two different themes | 14:53 |

| Thom- | more noise. It stops when i turn off my logitech soundsystem | 14:54 |
| davidkarr | Apparently, in order to fix Eclipse and other GDK-using applications, I have to set "GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1" in my environment. Now, the next question is where? I don't imagine setting it in my .profile would work. I tried in /etc/environment. Do I have to "export" settings in that file? | 14:54 |

| BlueEagle | thom-: Is it a continuous whine or a pulsing sound? Does the character of it alter when moving the mouse, during heavy disk activity or some such? Do you have a microphone? | 14:56 |
| Bardology | haha, I just had to restart apache ;) | 14:56 |
| brianski1 | fix: change icon set in themes to human from humanity. thanks aeon-ltd | 14:56 |
| BlueEagle | akyapt: Is it a 32 or 64 bit processor? | 14:57 |
| aeon-ltd | akyapt: most likely assuming its a dual core, but why would you need ro run 64bit most apps aren't written for x64 yet | 14:57 |
| MrCheetoDust | is 9.04 the default for a server? | 14:57 |
| aeon-ltd | ro = *to | 14:57 |

| akyapt | aeon-lyd:64 bit are fast i gues?? | 14:58 |
| khensthoth | akyapt: According to WIkipedia, Pentium D should be 64 bit processor. | 14:58 |
| akyapt | Blueeagel::no i wanted to know wether it will suppor or not | 14:59 |
| aeon-ltd | MrCheetoDust: its irrelevant whether its LTS though, i'm using arch linux right now with latest(non-testing) and its pretty stable | 14:59 |

| aeon-ltd | akyapt: they will be after a mass switchover | 14:59 |

| MrCheetoDust | aeon-ltd: Ok | 15:00 |
| khensthoth | blip-: If that is the case, You'd be using GRUB2, which doesn't use the old system of menu.lst anymore. | 15:00 |
| aeon-ltd | akyapt: some but not enough(for me) to switch | 15:00 |
| DocMAX | how can i speed up wireless-n lan in ubuntu? | 15:01 |
| akyapt | aeon-ltd:then waste of installing 64 bit? | 15:01 |

| aeon-ltd | obg_: please don't bump and no not neccessary but don't make changes to files during backup(other than that it should be safe) | 15:04 |
| Thom- | so i hope its not a hardware issue... i'm using onboard sound | 15:04 |
| aeon-ltd | akyapt: most ram will 'underclock' for compatibility but i'm not 100% sure | 15:04 |
| aeon-ltd | akyapt: so no performance gain | 15:05 |
| akyapt | aeon-ltd:but itll not burn the mother board or the ram na? | 15:05 |
| obg_ | aeon-ltd, much obliged | 15:05 |
| khensthoth | akyapt: If you install ONLY the 677mhz RAM, it should work at 677. If you have a combo of 400, 533, and/or 677. It'll work at the slowest speed. | 15:06 |
| aeon-ltd | akyapt: unlikely but anything 'could' happen, its safer to go with more compatible ram | 15:06 |
| blip- | khensthoth, btw I just rebooted my machine and noticed the grub menu says "GRUB version 1.97 `beta 4" | 15:06 |

| code | jrib thanks, will try it. | 15:07 |
| === virtus is now known as whois[offline] | ||
| BlueEagle | thom-: What you can try is to disable sound output in the BIOS and see if the problem persists. If it does then the noise is in the PCI bus system. If it does not then the most likely cause is bad cabling. | 15:08 |
| === PhantomLink is now known as PL|Snoozing | ||
| khensthoth | akyapt: If you are afraid, then don't go beyond that. If your motherboard supports only 400-533MHZ and you install a 677MHz DDR2 RAM, it'll work at 400-533 MHz. They should be backwards compatible. | 15:09 |
| BlueEagle | akyapt: You are running a risk of damaging both the RAM and your motherboard though. | 15:09 |

| Thom- | BlueEagle, okay, i'll try the disabling first. One more question: Where can i disable the soundcard completely? In Windows I'll go in the device manager and deactivate the soundcard, but i didnt find anything similar | 15:10 |
| akyapt | khenstoth:means the mother board will take only 533 from 667?? | 15:10 |
| BlueEagle | thom-: In Linux the equivalent would be to disable the module. | 15:10 |
| git__ | hi -- anyone know how to mount lvm (logical volume) from live cd? | 15:10 |
| erUSUL | akyapt: yes | 15:10 |
| Thom- | BlueEagle, which module would that be? alsa utils? | 15:11 |
| aeon-ltd | Thom: in the BIOS of your mobo or in ALSAmixer mute all channels | 15:11 |
| BlueEagle | thom-: `rmmod snd` would most likely be what you want. Many modules depend on it so it may fail unless all dependencies are removed. Not sure about that. | 15:11 |

| Thom- | is there any device manager in ubuntu? I'd like to try the installing of another driver for my soundcard if the bios deactivation does not work | 15:14 |
| BlueEagle | pilif12p: Did you attempt to install the 32 or 64-bit version? | 15:14 |
| BlueEagle | pilif12p: Also; in what way does it not work? | 15:14 |
| jeka_ | 32 х битная | 15:15 |
| aeon-ltd | pilif12p: you need to find out, ubuntu might just not be able to run on your pc, (i think it only supports from PIII and up) | 15:15 |
| pilif12p | Blue32 bit | 15:15 |
| pilif12p | oh | 15:15 |
| pilif12p | i wanna install server on it... | 15:15 |
| BlueEagle | pilif12p: ...and what happens when you try to install? | 15:15 |
| pilif12p | BlueEagle: it tells me my bios are too old | 15:15 |
| DocMAX | epinky ??? | 15:16 |
| BlueEagle | pilif12p: Then your bios is most likely too old. | 15:16 |
| DocMAX | only N devices? | 15:16 |
| pilif12p | oh | 15:16 |
| pilif12p | i know, but what version can i use? | 15:16 |
| siddhant3s | I have two PCs running Ubuntu(9.10 and 9.04). I want to connect them via ad hoc wireless to share files | 15:16 |

| BlueEagle | pilif12p: I am sorry, but I do not know. I am not sure what in particular that causes the limitation with regards to the BIOS but I do assume that it is a kernel issue. | 15:18 |
| pilif12p | oh | 15:18 |
| antoni | hi everybody, i'm searching for a tip on fixing too fast vertical movement on 9.10 on lenovo s10 synaptics trackpad. there was a homebrew solution for 8.10 on "slacy's blog" (a replacement .deb package), but for later versions somebody comments: "Jon, the problem has now been solved with Jaunty. You have only to tweak the speed, but you can do it by modifying the xorg.conf file." i can't... | 15:18 |
| antoni | ...follow it, xorg.conf doesn't appear to include such settings | 15:18 |
| pilif12p | can i even use like ubuntu server? | 15:18 |
| dailystruggle | is ther a certain protocol for this room? | 15:19 |
| padhu | HI | 15:19 |
| BlueEagle | antoni: If a setting is not already present in xorg.conf you can add it yourself. However you need to be careful about putting the settings in the correct sections. | 15:19 |
| aeon-ltd | pilif12p: unlike;y, but there are other distros that cater to older pcs | 15:19 |
| GNUtoo | hi, I'm making a livecd with openssh(or netcat)+openvpn because of broken laptop screen,what should I do in order to replace network-manager and dhcpcd on ethernet card? | 15:19 |
| h0rder | is there a good gui intrusion detection ? | 15:19 |
| pbailey | web gui ? | 15:20 |
| dailystruggle | Or just jump in | 15:20 |
| khensthoth | dailystruggle: Just ask your questions if you have any. | 15:20 |
| dailystruggle | h0rder:what do you ean? | 15:20 |
| Davidov | does exist a graphic tool (GUI) to mange a magnetic tape device (DAT) in Ubuntu instead to use MT from terminal ? | 15:20 |
| pbailey | snorby the mordern snort interface http://snorby.org/ | 15:20 |
| h0rder | like a firewall for ubuntu where I can be notified if I am being attacked | 15:20 |
| ganymede | CShadowRun, where in /proc would you a find per-core cpu usage breakdown of usage in %? | 15:20 |
| CShadowRun | ganymede: i'll post a code example hold on, it's a little complicated | 15:20 |
| BlueEagle | antoni: In xorg.conf there are different sections. ServerLayout is the one that sais which of the other sections are actually used. All sections do have a type and an identifier. The ServerLayout doesn't need all types defined as it has become quite good at guessing defaults. | 15:21 |
| antoni | BlueEagle: xorg.conf has almost nothing inside, a few lines, i believe the settings are in some dependent subfiles. anyway, can you guide me how to do it in this case (i know how to edit xorg.conf, but what to add)? | 15:21 |
| aeon-ltd | h0rder: isn't that a paradox, if anyone could launch a attack wouldn't they do it undetected? | 15:21 |
| padhu | h0rder: what do you want? | 15:21 |
| donri | is ubuntu's empathy not compiled for voice and video chat? | 15:21 |
| h0rder | hm | 15:22 |
| padhu | donri: It has an voice chat. | 15:22 |
| CShadowRun | ganymede: http://pastebin.com/m1c8007d6 | 15:22 |
| BlueEagle | antoni: What you would most likely need to do is define a section "InputDevice" with and Identifier of "Touchpad" and the appropriate Driver and Option lines. Then make sure that the ServerLayout include: InputDevice "Touchpad" "Corepointer" | 15:22 |
| CShadowRun | ganymede: that's an applet i made for my keyboards LCD display to show per-core CPU usage, and memory usage. | 15:22 |
| ctmjr | !firewall | h0rder | 15:22 |
| ubottu | h0rder: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist | 15:22 |
| CShadowRun | ganymede: so it should do you fine :) | 15:22 |
| pilif12p | The processer is an intel celeron, fwiw | 15:22 |
| donri | padhu, i get no interface for it, no microphones on the contacts, and in rightclick it's grayed out | 15:22 |

| === martyn is now known as Guest79667 | ||
| BlueEagle | antoni: Let's imagine that you need the driver Synaptic and an option like VSpeed 100. You would then create a section like this (\n == line break): Section "InputDevice"\n Identifier "Touchpad"\n Driver "Synaptics"\n Option "VSpeed" "100"\n EndSection | 15:24 |
| toffan | hi ubottu | 15:25 |

| siddhant3s | aeon-ltd, Sorry for bumping. And how do I share the internet? | 15:25 |
| ubottu | Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots | 15:25 |
| binrapt | The Ubuntu forums said there should only be one of these | 15:25 |
| kielanmatt | josh? | 15:25 |
| donri | binrapt, could be shared memory | 15:25 |
| antoni | BlueEagle: got it, what about the ServerLayout section? it's not there | 15:25 |
| aeon-ltd | toffan: are you using gnome + metacity A.K.A stock ubuntu? | 15:25 |
| donri | binrapt, if you get a tree listing, you'll clearly see if they're children | 15:25 |
| binrapt | donri it's 3 MB per process, 1 of that is shared | 15:25 |
| binrapt | I tried pstree but it's not visible there hm | 15:26 |
| toffan | am using ubuntu 9,10 | 15:26 |
| aeon-ltd | siddhany3s: share the internet? you mean like a proxy? | 15:26 |
| binrapt | root process, right | 15:26 |
| binrapt | Oh yes donri you're right | 15:26 |
| AceKing | Can someone help with a sound problem? Everything worked fine a couple of days ago, now I don't have any sound. When I hover my moues over the volume control it says dummy output. I don't know if that has anything to do with it | 15:26 |
| binrapt | 64 instances | 15:26 |
| aeon-ltd | toffan: check in gnome-appearences-manager the last tab should be compiz/visual effects | 15:26 |

| aeon-ltd | siddhant3s: share the internet? you mean like a proxy? | 15:26 |

| binrapt | But they still use quite some memory and I don't even know what they do o_O | 15:26 |
| siddhant3s | aeon-ltd, I mean like I have internet connection, I want my friend to be able to browse on his PC using wireless ad hoc connection | 15:27 |
| BlueEagle | antoni: Then you create one: Section "ServerLayout"\n Identifier "Layout0"\n Screen "Default Screen"\n InputDevice "Touchpad" "CorePointer"\n EndSection | 15:27 |
| siddhant3s | aeon-ltd, I don't have router | 15:27 |
| toffan | aeon-ltd: where to check that please tell me, am new to ubuntu | 15:27 |
| binrapt | I can't kill them either hm | 15:28 |
| BlueEagle | antoni: You may need: Screen 0 "Default Screen". Not sure tho. I run dual screen setup. | 15:28 |
| aeon-ltd | siddhant3s: i'm sorry i don't know how to do that, have you searched the wiki for sharing eth0 connections over wifi | 15:28 |
| h0rder | I would like to completely delete windows after installing ubuntu, and Ive been dabbling with linux for years | 15:28 |

| mzawieska | padhu, and u know what i did i plut in the external usb 8 gigs to the usb | 15:53 |
| binrapt | Also, previously I actually ended up rebooting Ubuntu in order to make a static IP I had specified work | 15:53 |
| binrapt | ifdown/ifup failed for some reason | 15:53 |

| ganymede | RobLikesBrunch, put it in fstab and have it mount by UUID | 16:02 |
| aiwata55 | epinky: I ran the command as root | 16:02 |
| RobLikesBrunch | ganymede: What's "UUID"? | 16:02 |
| erUSUL | !uuid | 16:03 |
| ubottu | To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) | 16:03 |
| leoykt | !rus | 16:03 |

| sobczyk_ | hi, how to limit max screen resolution system wide? | 16:03 |
| epinky | aiwata55: it didn't work (as root)? | 16:03 |
| leoykt | ðóññêèå çäåñü åñòü? | 16:03 |
| joeyeye | RobLikesBrunch, do ls /dev/disk/by-uuid and you will find the uuids of your drives | 16:03 |
| leoykt | ðóññêèå â ïðèâàò! | 16:03 |
| aiwata55 | epinky: no | 16:03 |
| RobLikesBrunch | Okay, thanks everyone. So the UUID serves as an identifier? | 16:04 |
| ganymede | RobLikesBrunch, sudo vol_id /dev/sda1 also works | 16:04 |
| joeyeye | RobLikesBrunch, are you mounting a network drive over samba/cifs ? | 16:04 |
| RobLikesBrunch | joeyeye: No, automatically mounting a drive on start-up | 16:04 |
| shuaikun | aiwata55: Try another source and refresh . | 16:04 |
| ganymede | RobLikesBrunch, yes, UUID are more robust than mounting by device name since the device name might change if the device is plugged in in a different order | 16:04 |
| RobLikesBrunch | ganymede: Aha, thanks. | 16:04 |
| aiwata55 | shuaikun: you mean, build phpmyadmin from the source? | 16:04 |
| x_link | Hi | 16:04 |
| ganymede | RobLikesBrunch, by the way, i'm assuming you're plugging in a block device such as an external hard disk | 16:05 |
| country0129 | Anyone familiar with USB wired ADSL router/modem setup in 9.10? (lsusb) 'sees' the port, properly sees it as Westell (327w), but I can't get networking to establish a connection. I probably need a driver, but Westell/Linksys don't have drivers for Linux. | 16:05 |
| x_link | I have a small problem, I don't know if this is the right channel to ask in | 16:05 |
| epinky | aiwata55: apt-get update , already performed? | 16:05 |
| ganymede | RobLikesBrunch, and the problem you have is that it doesn't automount until you get to the desktop | 16:05 |
| kostkon | !ask | x_link | 16:05 |
| ubottu | x_link: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 16:05 |
| aiwata55 | epinky: yes | 16:05 |
| x_link | But when I connect my 22" monitor to my laptop I get really really bad picture. | 16:05 |
| thrope | hi - in 9.10 all my drives are just named 'XXXGB Drive' on the desktop and in nautilus - any way to get the proper names to show again (they are still there if I do right click - properties) | 16:05 |
| RobLikesBrunch | ganymede: No, the problem is I have to authenticate it to get it to mount, and I want this to occur automatically on start-up | 16:05 |
| ganymede | RobLikesBrunch, and you'd like to it to mount even if the gdm welcome screen is still up | 16:05 |
| x_link | I did it with "xrandr --output VGA --auto" | 16:05 |
| ganymede | RobLikesBrunch, sorry, then i misunderstood your problem, what kind of mount is this? samba/cifs? | 16:06 |
| epinky | aiwata55: what's the exact error you got? | 16:06 |
| RobLikesBrunch | ganymede: Err.... | 16:06 |
| unwedged85 | hi guys, how do I time how long a command took? | 16:07 |

| x_link | ? | 16:07 |
| ganymede | BlueEagle, the device names should be made automatically. maybe check dmesg or syslog or something to see why they didn't get device names? | 16:07 |

| RobLikesBrunch | ganymede: No, but I'm looking through documentation right now. I'll try to figure it out and if I have problems I'll annoy you with them :D | 16:13 |

| kermit_ | hi there, i wanna ask. i already upgrade 9.04 to 9.10 should i doing clean installation | 16:15 |
| ganymede | RobLikesBrunch, by the way, if you're mounting an NTFS drive, i think there might some complications because NTFS doesn't have a native kernel driver, it's a so-called FUSE driver so i don't know if that has any ramifications when using fstab | 16:15 |
| mdwright | unwedged: you should be able to ignore time from there, so `time cp file /newlocation/file` for example | 16:15 |

| kensanata | I'm having trouble configuring my iBook G4 Touchpad using Ubuntu 9.10.

I get "ADB Mouse" and "Macintosh mouse button emulation" instead. Ideas? | 16:16 |
| BlueEagle | kermit_: Do you need the new features offered by ext4? | 16:16 |
| andomonir | unwedged85: :D | 16:16 |
| shuaikun | unwedged85: time ./abc | 16:16 |
| unwedged85 | shuaikun, yeah, I just saw that "time dpkg -l" works fine | 16:17 |
| kermit_ | i think yes, but there are lot of programs i already installed like ubuntuzilla, pidgin etc | 16:17 |
| aiwata55 | epinky: thank you for the advice, but I don't understand the Unix terms at all | 16:17 |
| mdwright | unwedged85: Glad to help! | 16:17 |
| FoolsRun | Hi, what's the best way to upgrade to Karmic on a command-line-only machine? | 16:17 |
| thrope | khensthoth: ah great thanks... (they're not usb which is why i didn't find it - but partition label solves it) | 16:17 |
| FoolsRun | Will apt-get dist-upgrade do it? | 16:18 |
| epinky | aiwata55: did you enter Synaptic? | 16:18 |
| BlueEagle | kermit_: Your settings are all in your home folder which should ideally be on a separate partition. As such they would not be affected by an upgrade. | 16:18 |
| BluesKaj | FoolsRun, sudo do-release-upgrade | 16:18 |
| BlueEagle | kermit_: (that would also leave your old file system un-upgraded). | 16:18 |
| FoolsRun | BluesKaj: will that install packages that weren't previously installed, like GDM? | 16:18 |
| BlueEagle | kermit_: did you read: http://maketecheasier.com/how-to-upgrade-from-ext3-to-ext4-without-formatting-the-hard-disk/2009/04/21 | 16:18 |
| RobLikesBrunch | ganymede: Does this seem right: UUID="AA6638EB6638BA41" /media/media ntfs and I'm unsure about the ntfs option, as you said... | 16:19 |
| kermit_ | yeah i already upgrade into karmic, but i think i need ext 4 | 16:19 |
| unwedged85 | mdwright, this may sound stupid, but do I add the system, user and sys values? | 16:19 |
| BluesKaj | FoolsRun, no , it looks at your apps and upgrades | 16:19 |
| ganymede | RobLikesBrunch, that looks too short to be a UUID, and also, i think you want to use "ntfs-3g" and not "ntfs" and also, the rest of the line is missing | 16:19 |
| FoolsRun | BluesKaj: awesome. Thanks! | 16:19 |
| BlueEagle | kermit_: Did you read the link? | 16:19 |
| ganymede | RobLikesBrunch, use sudo vol_id to get the UUID, it's it should be this long and have hyphens like this: a4bad350-aab8-4be8-ac08-9f5ee398ee98 | 16:20 |
| aiwata55 | spinky: i entered "Synaptic" but that command was not found | 16:20 |
| epinky | aiwata55: I know this is a bit outdated but the procedure is similar for Karmic 9.10 , check this and try http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-enable-the-universe-and-multiverse-repositories-in-ubuntu-804-hardy.html | 16:21 |
| kermit_ | i am opening rite now | 16:21 |
| BlueEagle | kermit_: To be able to upgrade the system disk that disk can not be mounted. This means that you would need to run off a live cd like Knoppix or the Ubuntu desktop installer cd. | 16:21 |
| ganymede | RobLikesBrunch, you probably want this under the options columnn: "defaults,locale=en_US.utf8,auto", and you want 0 in both the dump and pass column | 16:21 |
| RobLikesBrunch | ganymede: sudo: vol_id: command not found | 16:22 |
| kermit_ | i already hv new karmic cd | 16:22 |

We shall not be responsible for any data loss or hard disk crash. Before you try this, please remember to BACKUP your system and important files. | 16:22 |

| RobLikesBrunch | ganymede: That looks good? | 16:26 |
| RobLikesBrunch | ganymede: Haha xD | 16:26 |
| ganymede | RobLikesBrunch, your options list has "auto,user" twice but that's not probably much of a problem | 16:27 |
| mikejet | Why are the descriptions of Software Updates so lame? | 16:27 |
| ganymede | RobLikesBrunch, otherwise, it looks line | 16:27 |
| RobLikesBrunch | ganymede: Crap, didn't even notice XD | 16:27 |
| exoo | BlueEagle, there is one folder THNZ | 16:27 |
| exoo | THZN sorry | 16:27 |
| master_ | bryy | 16:27 |
| RobLikesBrunch | ganymede: Okay, let me log out and log in to see if it works. | 16:27 |
| ganymede | RobLikesBrunch, unmount your NTFS thing using sudo umount i guess, and then run "mount -a" as a user to see if mounts it automatically | 16:28 |
| shine1 | do anyone run into such a problem as me? : I plug in external monitor, there is no display, so I click "display" to change configuration, but I lost display on both screen, but it seems the external monitor is activated, although nothing shows up.... I had to do hard power off....:'( | 16:28 |
| master_ | 16:28 | |
| mikejet | Because a simple webpage of weekly updates, formatted in clear English, would be a huge improvement to this ridiculous scrolled table of gibberish. | 16:28 |
| RobLikesBrunch | ganymede: Or that. | 16:28 |
| joeyeye | RobLikesBrunch, you should be able to just sudo mount -a | 16:28 |
| RobLikesBrunch | ganymede: okay. | 16:28 |
| rgs_ | hey guys, whats a good password manager for ubuntu? | 16:28 |
| ganymede | RobLikesBrunch, if "mount -a" mounts the NTFS thing, then it'll most likely automount upon reboot | 16:28 |
| BlueEagle | exoo: And in that directory? | 16:28 |
| jongbergs | shine1: logout and log back in | 16:28 |

| mikejet | Has "totem" ever worked doing any task, on any computer, in the history of humanity? What totem is trying to do, and why it fails 110% of the time, and why nobody else notices is a real mystery. | 16:29 |
| BlueEagle | exoo: And what does the file "temperature" contain? | 16:29 |
| exoo | 16°C | 16:29 |
| exoo | 16 C sorry | 16:30 |
| BlueEagle | exoo: ...which would be the current temperature. | 16:30 |
| exoo | 16C?! | 16:30 |
| mikejet | And this is on a standard ubuntu install. | 16:30 |
| spridel | Bingo! | 16:30 |
| exoo | It's a bit cold? | 16:30 |
| mikejet | What. Is. Totem? | 16:30 |
| BlueEagle | exoo: Well, it might be a malfunction or a bias that's not being calculated correctly but to check that you'd need to post info about the sensors in question and so on. | 16:30 |

| country0129 | Anyone familiar with USB wired ADSL router/modem setup in 9.10? (lsusb) 'sees' the port, properly sees it as Westell (327w), but I can't get networking to establish a connection. I probably need a driver, but Westell/Linksys don't have drivers for Linux. | 16:31 |
| BlueEagle | exoo: If your nipples are hard then it sounds about right tho. | 16:31 |
| mikejet | The default ubuntu configuration seems to have totem set up to play .wmv files, but it is incapable of playing .wmv files. | 16:31 |
| ganymede | mikejet, haha, yeah, i agree, i have a script that i run whenever i install ubuntu to set it up the way i want and one of the lines is "apt-get purge totem totem-common" | 16:31 |

| shine1 | jongbergs: thanks, you are suggesting me to logout and login after I plug in the external monitor? I will try that. but is there a way to avoid hard power off if the display disappear? | 16:32 |
| ganymede | RobLikesBrunch, where what went? | 16:32 |
| khensthoth | country0129: Is it possible to connect via Ethernet? | 16:32 |
| exoo | because it's too warm for 16C | 16:32 |
| country0129 | Yessir, but there's precious little concerning how to set it up with USB, and I can't find a driver for the Westell 327W that works with Linux. | 16:33 |
| scunizi | mikejet: you need the restricted codecs.. perhaps the gstreamer-ugly package.. | 16:33 |
| RobLikesBrunch | ganymede: Well. The drive vanished. | 16:33 |
| ganymede | RobLikesBrunch, as in...it's not in /dev anymore? | 16:33 |
| country0129 | No, Khensthoth. I don't have a jack for ethernet on my computer. | 16:33 |
| BlueEagle | exoo: Hang on... Your paste cites the sensor active to be "Virtual device"... That doesn't sound like something that would provide any real life temperature tbh. | 16:33 |
| RobLikesBrunch | ganymede: I changed the mount point from /media/media to /dev/sda | 16:33 |
| RobLikesBrunch | /dev/sda1* | 16:33 |
| BlueEagle | exoo: Are you running a nVidia chipset or some aBit uGuru mojo? | 16:33 |
| mikejet | scunizi, I am so done with installing obscure packages, or suggestions like that. Hey, just run apt-get install wild-goose | 16:33 |

| MkS1992 | how to set up an irc server on linux ubuntu | 16:34 |
| RobLikesBrunch | No :D | 16:34 |
| country0129 | I know, Sir. Even less someplaces, but I'd really like to get it started like this until about February or so. | 16:34 |
| BlueEagle | roblikesbrunch: You do NOT want to mount any device in the /dev directory. | 16:34 |
| ganymede | RobLikesBrunch, sudo mkdir -p /media/media | 16:34 |
| RobLikesBrunch | BlueEagle: Why :(? | 16:35 |
| khensthoth | country0129: How about wireless? I've been searching online for a linux driver for that since you first asked and I haven't found any. Not sure if it exist at all. | 16:35 |
| scunizi | mikejet: go ahead and read the ubottu link.. wmv & wma re restricted packages because they have licensing attached to them.. | 16:35 |
| mikejet | I am also done with hunting in these asinine forum webpage blogs that inevitably show you material from 2002. | 16:35 |
| ganymede | RobLikesBrunch, mount point column is the TARGET, not the source. it shouldn't even let you mount onto a block device... | 16:35 |
| BlueEagle | roblikesbrunch: Because that is where the device notes live and mounting a device node in there would most likely cause inexplicable bugs later. | 16:35 |
| mikejet | scunizi, I saw nothing about that when I did the Ubuntu install. | 16:35 |
| country0129 | I'm hooked up wireless on this laptop and two other netbooks. The router worked just fine for WindowsMe. Through USB. | 16:35 |
| mikejet | information != data | 16:36 |

| RobLikesBrunch | BlueEagle ganymede: Ah. Right. | 16:36 |
| happylol | just see that once | 16:36 |
| ganymede | RobLikesBrunch, when you mount via fstab, you want the source directory to already exist | 16:36 |

| spiderworm | does anyone know of a way to get the latest version of /etc/init.d/lirc ??? i tried uninstalling lirc and then reinstalling it, but that didnt do it | 16:37 |
| mikejet | Why is totem installed by default when totem is broken by default. | 16:37 |
| ganymede | RobLikesBrunch, to unmount the NTFS thing, you can use sudo umount /media/media, or sudo umount /dev/sda1, or just umount /media/media as a user might work | 16:37 |
| country0129 | My big problem is I'm a Linux newby. Fairly good with Windoze and Dos, but really haven't much of a clue in Linux. | 16:37 |
| Billiard | mikejet: totem is not broken by default | 16:37 |
| ganymede | RobLikesBrunch, and as for /dev/sda1 not being there anymore...i don't know...it shouldn't disappear | 16:37 |
| kostkon | mikejet, because it can't play your wmv doesnt mean it's broken | 16:37 |
| ganymede | RobLikesBrunch, is /dev/sda there? | 16:37 |
| exoo | BlueEagle, i looked it up its a Inel Chipset | 16:37 |
| RobLikesBrunch | ganymede: Okay..that works. | 16:37 |
| scunizi | mikejet: I've been reinstalling a winxp machine for a neighbor.. I'm going on 3 hrs at this point and still not done doing all the updates prior to actually installing any programs.. so looking for codecs for ubuntu or another linux is minor by comparrison.. at least for me. | 16:37 |

| spiderworm | Billiard, wont that purge all my config files, including the ones i want to keep? is there a way to just purge the one file? | 16:38 |
| khensthoth | country0129: Well, usually Linux comes with all the drivers, and installing extra drivers usually means getting down and dirty with lots of command line, except you are installing pre-packaged drivers. | 16:38 |
| erUSUL | ericdb: copy the paritions over with pasrtimage ? (does not support ext4 though) then install grub in the mbr | 16:38 |

When I try to do it with the gnome interface or with "passwd" in the terminal, it says the password is too short... was this changed with 9.10?

| dracnoc | Parsi_: here's my experience of Grub2. Use the startup manager from the repos to set the resolution.

| Billiard | Parsi_: which is ubuntu installed to? | 17:34 |

| jrib | Kenti: you can probably use the minimal installer | 17:34 |
| mynameguy | Hello, Today I installed Ubuntu 9.10 (fresh installation) on Lenovo Thinkpad T61, but my laptop is overheating and I am fearing some hardware will burn out. | 17:34 |
| jrib | !minimal | Kenti | 17:34 |
| ubottu | Kenti: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 17:34 |
| jrib | !install > Kenti | 17:34 |
| ubottu | Kenti, please see my private message | 17:34 |

| bill_the_ripper | Jay_fox, well can you define the problem more specifically? | 17:40 |
| digitalfiz | Billiard, think using the installer directly from nvidia is a good idea? | 17:40 |
| dracnoc | mynameguy: try using the following command in a terminal and see how it behaves: sudo cpufreq-selector -g powersave | 17:40 |
| hassanakevazir | Tartaros, either I'm too sleepy, or this happened once to me and I had to restart :/ | 17:41 |
| Billiard | digitalfiz: i wouldnt use it, but it might work, package managers drivers work perfect and are new enough for me | 17:41 |

| Billiard | ahtmly2k: when do you get that error? | 17:44 |
| Tartaros | hassanakevazir: well I'd prefer a way that doesn't kill my current x session :) sounds silly to needing a restart just because firefox thinks it's running | 17:44 |
| sharok | okay | 17:44 |
| h4f | Tartaros: try starting it from root gksudo firefox . As I am thinking you started it once as root. and now it changed some folder permissions | 17:44 |
| sharok | another try... | 17:44 |
| sharok | brb | 17:44 |
| sshc | pieces: see warning in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 ; you need to use supergrub (not a live session) to boot into your normal installation and purge grub-pc with "apt-get purge grub-pc" (or purge grub2 if that's what you installed) and then "apt-get install grub2", even if you previously installed grub2. Don't run any upgrade-grub commands after the reinstallation. | 17:44 |

| Billiard | Parsi_: specify a number probably | 17:47 |
| ahtmly2k | on the properties window | 17:47 |
| Parsi_ | Billiard: which number? | 17:48 |
| Billiard | ahtmly2k: can you unset the properties? | 17:48 |
| sharok | another failure: grub can't find the kernel | 17:48 |
| sharok | where the hell is the kernel!!! | 17:48 |
| h4f | Tartaros: so that means that some time ago you started it from root accidentaly. and now some folder permissions are changed to root. so you (user ) can access it. you either delete them or change permission back | 17:48 |
| Parsi_ | Billiard: I want to remove this grub, and install default:( | 17:48 |
| h4f | *can't | 17:48 |

| ubottu | corey: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea.

| sharok | chroot alone does not work | 17:57 |
| corey | erUSUL, well i dont have KDE at all.. | 17:57 |

| sharok | from another os yeah | 17:57 |
| LjL | corey: then if you want it, install it from the repositories | 17:58 |
| LjL | !kde > corey (corey, see the private message from ubottu) | 17:58 |
| pieces | sshc: in those directions you showed me it says "Tell grub what drive it should install itself to (press space bar to select a drive and don't continue without selecting one)" what exactly is it talking about? | 17:58 |
| Billiard | sharok: try chroot /mountpointtobrokenubuntu then grub-mkconfig | 17:58 |
| sirkikiman | Billiard: now the visual effects when i turn the on dont work | 17:58 |

| sharok | i dont have nautilus btw | 18:00 |

| d4non | hi | 18:01 |
| sharok | idk what is the mount point | 18:01 |

| ikonia | Hyperlite4949: you'll need to contact the vendor if you want them to start to support linux | 18:19 |
| Zargle | Package 'xserve-xorg' is not installed and no info is available. use dpkg --stuff... and dpkg -- content stuff... usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: xserve-xorg is not installed | 18:19 |

| Zargle | english? | 18:20 |
| ikonia | Zargle: ok - step back for a second | 18:20 |

| sirkikiman | Billiard: lol thanks for putting up with me | 18:20 |

| Zargle | so i did the sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 18:45 |
| LordVorp | pianolender: /dev/null: 1,3; /dev/console: 5,1 | 18:45 |
| pianolender | BlueEagle: is udev a part of a kernel? | 18:45 |
| LordVorp | pianolender: that's c 1 3 for /dev/null, c 5 1 for /dev/console | 18:45 |
| jrwr | N30Inc, like right now im trying Swfdec as it seems to even work better then flash10 | 18:46 |
| erUSUL | d4non: for the second error i already answered. the of= is wrong | 18:46 |
| d4non | so how should it go | 18:46 |
| Zargle | it said Selection "device" Identifier "default device" then Driver "nvdia" and i change it to vesa then it said option "NoLogo" | 18:46 |
| ikonia | Zargle: ignore all the other options | 18:46 |
| N3OInc | Anyone have an opinion on that avahi-daemon stuff? I'm pretty certain I have no use for it, but I'm new. | 18:46 |
| sirkikiman | Billiard: did you get the pastebin | 18:46 |
| === Nathan is now known as Guest5833 | ||
| LordVorp | pianolender: it's a replacement for the old mknod style of device files that may or may not correspond to an actual dev in the kernel. udev does it dynamically. if you're at a "kernel only" level... then, did you mknod the devs with the correct numbers? | 18:46 |
| ikonia | Zargle: just Driver "vesa" that's the core bit | 18:46 |
| archet45 | could anyone here recomend an easy to use audio burning application for the noob? | 18:46 |
| Zargle | yah and i change the nvdia to vesa | 18:46 |
| d4non | erUSUL sda2 and sda5 are the partitions that was the former lost partition | 18:46 |
| Billiard | sirkikiman: try adding these 2 lines to your xorg.con screen section http://paste.ubuntu.com/324677/ | 18:46 |
| ikonia | Zargle: good good | 18:46 |
| N3OInc | jrwr: I'ma look that up. | 18:46 |
| Billiard | sirkikiman: then restart x | 18:47 |
| Zargle | and when i rebooted i still got black screen | 18:47 |
| archet45 | **to burn audio cd's from my mp3's? | 18:47 |

| d4non | erUSUL it is the result of me being retarded and trying to install ubuntu on the freespace of existing ntfs partition, I was sure it will result in creating a new ext3 filesystem in the empty space I typed, but it resulted in erasing the partition and creating a ext3 partition and empty space | 18:50 |

| BlueEagle | thom-: the default archive manager handles rar iirc. | 18:59 |
| Bardology | ikonia: This is what nmap is telling me | 18:59 |
| LordVorp | Bardology: specifically, /etc/mysql/my.cnf has a directive: bind-address 127.0.0.1 look at mysql.com and search for bind-address to find how to make it open "in general" | 18:59 |
| julio_ | are several files would not otherwise | 18:59 |
| BlueEagle | thom-: Be aware tho that rar is not an open source standard. If possible use gz or bz2 | 18:59 |
| Bardology | LordVorp: bind-address has already been commented out | 18:59 |
| pianolende1 | BlueEagle: ok, now I have an sda, sda3, console and null files in my new /dev, but the same happens. I have created them just by " mknod c 5 1 console" and so on. Maybe it should be done another way? | 19:00 |

| mib_mib | hi guys - i'm trying to use wget to recursively download a bunch of links for a site; how do I change the behavior so that what it stores are full links, instead of like a directory structure like www.google.com (directory) -> shoppinglist?hl=en_US, when in reality i just want a link like www.google.com/shoppinglist?hl=en_US | 19:00 |
| Bardology | I don't know if that means that the port is closed or mysql is locked down | 19:00 |
| ikonia | Bardology: that could well be the cloud's firewall blocking it | 19:00 |
| LordVorp | Bardology: try sudo lsof -P | grep mysql.*LISTEN and see what address it's listening on | 19:00 |
| ikonia | Bardology: nmap is not "fact" | 19:00 |
| julio_ | LjL: are more than 100 files | 19:01 |

| Zargle | pastebin.com/f88af57a | 19:02 |
| LordVorp | Bardology: yeah, it seems to show that either: you didn't restart mysql after commenting bind-address, OR, you need a different bind-address to listen on *.*.*.* | 19:02 |
| pianolende1 | BlueEagle: and then I have a message: switch_root: can't open /dev/console: no such file or directory | 19:02 |
| Thom- | BlueEagle, is the archive manager gnome only? i'm using xfce and it does not open on doubleclick | 19:02 |

| BlueEagle | pianolende1: Any particular reason why you can not run the installer on that laptop? | 19:03 |
| LordVorp | Bardology: OK, that was a "how to solve the problem in a vacuum" answer... mysql.com has excellent searchable docs, hint, hint, hint, hint. :) | 19:03 |
| Bardology | WTF! It's uncommented... | 19:03 |
| Bardology | Hmmm | 19:03 |
| BlueEagle | thom-: You can install and run gnome-programs in xubuntu. | 19:03 |
| Zargle | what should i do | 19:03 |
| LordVorp | Bardology: :) | 19:04 |
| BlueEagle | thom-: However you may have to install rar-support separately. | 19:04 |
| pianolende1 | BlueEagle: first is that installer for my architecture doesn't run on my laptop, the second is that I want to know what is wrong despite of solution's complexity, because I am interested in "what is there, below the carpet" | 19:06 |

| sahilsk | i need a urgent solution....video driver need to be installed. i've integrated with motherbaord ati xpress 200 , which driver i should install and how?? please.......... | 19:40 |
| ikonia | FoolsRun: update-rc.d adds/removes the init script used by upstart | 19:40 |
| khensthoth | kraitos: When you were in alsamixer just now, did you adjust the level of volume for PCM to max? | 19:40 |
| LordVorp | damienov: and then if you get your repositories updated w/ apt-get update, then you can get "current" on packages with: apt-get upgrade | 19:40 |
| ikonia | FoolsRun: so it enables/disables the script in essance | 19:40 |
| damienov | using the terminal yes? | 19:40 |
| kraitos | khensthoth, yes | 19:40 |
| erUSUL | !search old-releases | 19:40 |
| khensthoth | Parsi: Search around in the forum or in Google then, sorry couldn't be of much help. | 19:40 |
| ubottu | Found: | 19:40 |
| BluesKaj | !64bit | 19:40 |
| ubottu | AMD64 and EMT64 are fully supported architectures on Ubuntu. See http://tinyurl.com/3jkole and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amd64 for more information. | 19:40 |
| Parsi | khensthoth: ok. | 19:41 |
| Parsi | tnx | 19:41 |
| erUSUL | !version | damienov | 19:41 |
| ubottu | damienov: 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> » | 19:41 |
| kraitos | khensthoth, i also brought the masters to max also | 19:41 |
| dno | Anyone using wpa2 care to help? | 19:41 |
| damienov | 9.10 | 19:41 |
| LordVorp | dno: as always, don't ask to ask, just ask | 19:41 |
| damienov | carmic | 19:41 |
| khensthoth | kraitos: So these are all flash videos we are talking about right? Normal audio files play okay I presume? | 19:41 |
| dno | Oh | 19:41 |
| LordVorp | damienov: OK have you run: apt-get update ? | 19:42 |
| damienov | not yet | 19:42 |
| damienov | how? | 19:42 |
| damienov | using the terminal? | 19:42 |
| kraitos | khensthoth, right | 19:42 |
| LordVorp | damienov: at the shell, in the terminal, type: sudo apt-get update<enter> | 19:42 |
| damienov | got it :) | 19:43 |
| dno | All, I installed WiCD and when I try to set either WEP or WPA or WPA2 I can no longer connect. But unsecured, it connects. Any thoughts? | 19:43 |
| khensthoth | kraitos: Which version of Ubuntu are you on? | 19:43 |
| LordVorp | damienov: your other option is to run synaptic and click "reload", which does the same thing | 19:43 |
| kraitos | khensthoth, 9.10 | 19:43 |
| dno | Anyone | 19:43 |
| damienov | thanks for the help guys :) | 19:43 |
| billybigrigger | LordVorp, ya i don't care about bandwidth | 19:43 |
| MK13 | how can i set my laptop up as a wirless access point? I have a broadcom BCM4311(rev. 1) | 19:43 |
| billybigrigger | LordVorp, the news server is unlimited bandwidth | 19:43 |
| dno | using 9.10 and Wicd 1.6.1 | 19:43 |
| sahilsk | i need a urgent solution....video driver need to be installed. i've integrated with motherbaord ati xpress 200 , which driver i should install and how?? please.......... | 19:43 |
| LordVorp | billybigrigger: yeah but I'm talking about YOUR bandwidth being used. If you have lots, then no worries | 19:44 |
| billybigrigger | no worries | 19:44 |
| billybigrigger | and how is it not an ubuntu support question? | 19:44 |
| billybigrigger | :) | 19:44 |
| khensthoth | kraitos: Have you tried installing the flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound package? | 19:44 |
| bashar | the concept of virtualbox if an installed OS it can't be run inside virutalbox ? i have to reinstall it? | 19:45 |
| billenium | I just installed 9.10 (got CDs in the mail yesterday) on the computer, when i restarted it just hangs at "GRUB loading." any ideas? | 19:45 |
| kraitos | khensthoth, were can i find that at? | 19:45 |
| bazhang | bashar, which os | 19:45 |
| === km is now known as Guest37809 | ||
| khensthoth | kraitos: Just open a terminal and type sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound | 19:45 |
| LordVorp | billybigrigger: I'm not going to answer that, other than: most people (avg desktop users) don't do that. :). If you're serious, look at SOCKS | 19:45 |
| billybigrigger | LordVorp, ok, ill look into setting up a proxy server | 19:46 |
| LordVorp | LordVorp: or "proxy" synaptic has a good search function | 19:46 |
| bashar | bazhang: fedora, windows, any other linux flavour | 19:46 |
| === Glenn is now known as Guest79109 | ||
| bazhang | bashar, which are you trying specifically | 19:46 |
| bashar | bazhang: i have ubuntu and i want to but windows vista an fedora and freebsd | 19:46 |
| kraitos | khensthoth, is couldn't find the package | 19:46 |
| emma | LordVorp: that's what i was suggesting also. | 19:47 |
| bashar | s/an/and/g | 19:47 |
| Lafy | Why might lpd claim that prints jobs are completing properly when my printers are not being sent jobs? | 19:47 |
| bjorkintosh | is pulse supposed to be a useful thing at all? | 19:47 |
| sahilsk | ?? | 19:47 |
| as | hola | 19:47 |
| LordVorp | billybigrigger: if you look at SOCKS, you'll see SOCKS4 and SOCKS5. the relevant difference is that SOCSK5 supports UDP and SOCKS4 does not. Since news/nntp is TCP, in your case it doesn't matter. | 19:47 |
| billybigrigger | LordVorp, socks4-server - SOCKS4 server for proxying IP-based services over a firewall | 19:47 |
| emma | I don't think "I have a problem with a newsgroups new policies, how can i get around it" is an ubuntu support question even if the person is using ubuntu. Just my opinion though. | 19:47 |
| as | alguien me recibe? | 19:47 |
| bazhang | bashar, you wish to put windows in? check the license. the others just get the iso from distrowatch.com or the like | 19:47 |
| khensthoth | kraitos: How about in Synaptic Package Manager? Try to search for the package | 19:48 |
| as | alguien puede mandarmie privado y explicarme coo va esto | 19:48 |
| bashar | bazhang: so it need to install cant load it from any installation i have already? | 19:48 |
| bazhang | !es | as | 19:48 |
| ubottu | as: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. | 19:48 |
| bostikforever | emma: are you boomie? | 19:48 |
| LordVorp | billybigrigger: look at "proxy". the socks stuff will appear but also non-socks... | 19:48 |
| kraitos | khensthoth, im already looking there. i found it. it says to upgrade, is that what i want to do? | 19:48 |
| bazhang | bashar, not to my knowledge; you may wish to ask in ##windows about the vista part though | 19:48 |
| khensthoth | kraitos: So it's previously installed? | 19:49 |
| bazhang | bashar, also if it is virtualbox you can ask in #vbox | 19:49 |
| kraitos | khensthoth, never mined i was looking at something else. it installed just now. | 19:49 |
| ircuser | Is it safe to use my Western Digital Passport Essential to use in Linux(Karmic)? I have been using it in Vista till now. I have heard people say that Ubuntu will damage or corrupt the file system. | 19:50 |
| khensthoth | kraitos: Okay. After installing, try a Flash video to see if it works. | 19:50 |
| bazhang | ircuser, ntfs is fully supported in Ubuntu for a long while now | 19:50 |
| trism | ircuser: I have a western digital passport that I use with ubuntu all the time | 19:50 |
| gnutoo | hi, I just found update-rc.d...now how can I add add ssh...should I add it to default....and how can I see enabled services? | 19:51 |
| bostikforever | Hello, my USB modem doesn't work with Ubuntu karmic... it used to work with Jaunty. Is there anything that I can do? | 19:51 |
| kraitos | khensthoth, hold on give me 10min | 19:51 |
| LordVorp | gnutoo: you want 'defaults' | 19:51 |
| nonick1 | Who can help me? When I press Ctrl+c in terminal (to stop some programms) nothing happends. It just prints letter "c" but not "^C" Earlier it works correctly. (Sorry. I know English very very bad) | 19:51 |
| gnutoo | LordVorp, ok thanks I was not shure.... | 19:51 |
| jrib | gnutoo: when you install ssh, it is automatically setup to start automatically. Also, update-rc.d is not intended to be used by humans! | 19:51 |
| bazhang | nonick1, what process | 19:51 |
| gnutoo | jrib, in the livecd I created it doesn't | 19:51 |
| jrib | gnutoo: are you using ubuntu? | 19:52 |
| trism | nonick1: depends on the program, sometimes you need to ctrl+d | 19:52 |
| gnutoo | jrib, in reality I use a derivate called trisquel....but it's nearly the same | 19:52 |
| magr | anyone who can tell me why i cant connect to ubuntu with vncviewer? | 19:52 |
| jrib | gnutoo: apparently not... | 19:52 |
| nonick1 | trism: for example find | 19:52 |
| LordVorp | gnutoo: also: type "runlevel" at the console. it will say something like 'N 2', the number is your current runlevel. then: ls /etc/rc2.d/S* (the 2 is from runlevel) that will show the list of startup scripts run at boot time | 19:52 |
| ircuser | bazhang: trism : thanks. even I access my other NTFS partitions. just want to make sure that writing and reading from within the Ubuntu won't damage it in any way.....My last Ext HD a Maxtor Basic crashed suddenly with some fiel system error | 19:52 |
| gnutoo | ok thanks a lot | 19:52 |
| gnutoo | LordVorp, as I chrooted there is no runlevel but I'll look in inittab | 19:53 |
| bazhang | ircuser, I have a 1Tb ntfs that is used with Ubuntu for a while now without any issues | 19:53 |
| Kenti | I can't get my DVD writer to mount in Ubuntu! | 19:53 |
| nonick1 | trism: Ctrl+d not works too | 19:53 |
| gnutoo | no inittab :( | 19:53 |
| LordVorp | gnutoo: well if you're chrooted you might have trouble looking at /etc/rc2.d. :) | 19:53 |
| Kenti | I need to burn a disc, but it won't even read regular discs | 19:53 |
| trism | nonick1: not sure what the problem is, ctrl+c should work fine with find | 19:54 |
| bazhang | Kenti, using which application to burn | 19:54 |
| Turno | is there any way to completely reset the USB bus in karmic? I have a device that has to be unplugged/replugged after loading a kernel module, and I'd much rather just reset the usb bus | 19:54 |
| Kenti | Brasero disc burning, but no application will recognise the drive | 19:54 |
| bazhang | Kenti, same issue with other burners as well? gnomebaker? | 19:55 |
| LordVorp | Turno: I've never found one in linux. | 19:55 |
| Kenti | yes, but haven't tried that one. I can't even mount the drive to read discs | 19:55 |
| Turno | kenti, are you sure the drive is connected/recognized properly? does the drive work in read-only mode? | 19:55 |
| jamesmk2003 | if anybody is interested in FLUENDO https://core.fluendo.com/gstreamer/svn/ | 19:56 |
| Kenti | Turno, no | 19:56 |
| Turno | kenti, do you dual boot maybe? and if so, does the drive work in your other OS? | 19:56 |
| Kenti | Yes it works | 19:56 |
| LordVorp | Turno: but a quick search shows this link: http://hack2live.blogspot.com/2008/06/ubuntu-linux-restart-usb-to-reset-stuck.html ? | 19:56 |
| mun | hi | 19:56 |
| Turno | LordVorp: yeah, i saw that, but that was back from when usb was a kernel module, now it's compiled into the kernel | 19:56 |
| tmus | my danish keys are not working in the console (tty). how do I configure that? Tried dpkg-reconfigure console-setup with no luck. Perhaps I'm missing some important package? | 19:56 |
| LordVorp | oh ouch. | 19:56 |
| mun | does anyone know if there's a google calendar notifier for linux? i'm reluctant to use the addon for firefox. | 19:57 |
| Turno | yeah :( | 19:57 |
| Turno | kenti, what kind of burner is it? | 19:57 |
| Kenti | Samsung Writemaster | 19:57 |
| c3l | proftp vs pureftp. which is best? | 19:58 |
| Turno | kenti, does it show up when you do 'lsusb'? | 19:59 |
| nonick1 | trism: can shotructs in compiz be a problem? | 19:59 |
| spO | when is there going to be a new kernel that is compiled with gcc 4.4.2 rather than 4.4.1 ? 4.4.1 and 4.4.0 have difficulties with mplayer | 19:59 |
| kraitos | khensthoth, alright, i had to take care of some business. but sound is not working still | 19:59 |
| Kenti | turno no | 20:00 |
| N3OInc | Any opinions on necessity of avahi-daemon on a wireless workstation? | 20:00 |
| LordVorp | Turno: the package repository has a "usb-modeswitch", and the C source for a "usbreset" prog is here: http://marc.info/?l=linux-usb-users&m=116827193506484&w=2 | 20:00 |
| Kenti | Its not a usb drive though. Its an internal one | 20:00 |
| khensthoth | kraitos: Even after installing the additional package? | 20:00 |
| Turno | oh, my google search said it was external | 20:00 |
| kraitos | khensthoth, right | 20:00 |
| trism | nonick1: did you recently configure new ones before ctrl+c stopped working in the terminal? | 20:00 |
| Turno | LordVorp: OOh, i'm checking out your link now! | 20:00 |
| nmanoogian | What should I read to expand S-Video output? (I only see partial screen) | 20:01 |
| ircuser | bazhang: thanks...should i install ntfs-3g or karmic is ok without it? any issues with ext4?? mine is ext4 only | 20:01 |
| Lunatico | gnites can some1 hlp me pls | 20:01 |
| nonick1 | trism: maybe | 20:01 |
| khensthoth | kraitos: Well, this is the last resort, the worse-come-to-worse effort. You will be removing Pulse Audio. In the terminal, type sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio pulseaudio-* | 20:01 |
| bazhang | ircuser, you wish to share with windows or not? | 20:02 |
| Turno | Kenti: I would look at dmesg and see if it has any relevant error messages in there | 20:02 |
| Lunatico | gnites can some1 hlp me pls? im having Kernel Panic error trying to install clena Ubuntu 9.10 | 20:02 |
| Lunatico | clean* | 20:02 |
| kraitos | khensthoth, i have pulseaudio device chooser also. could that be affecting it? i change some stuff on it so i could have sound come through hdmi | 20:02 |
| ircuser | bazhang: I dual boot my PC so I will be accessing it in both OS and I guess that's counted as sharing. So, yes. | 20:03 |
| trism | nonick1: this is in gnome-terminal right? | 20:03 |
| nonick1 | trism: yes | 20:03 |
| bazhang | ircuser, then best to stick with ntfs as Ubuntu can deal with it no problem | 20:03 |
| ircuser | bazhang: And I have a router in my room with 2 other Vista machines connected to it.. So may be occasionally they will connect to it | 20:03 |
| duddl | msg XDCC-Dead xdcc send #785 | 20:04 |
| trism | nonick1: try resetting your keyboard to defaults in System/Preferences/Keyboard on the Layouts tab | 20:04 |
| khensthoth | kraito: In that case, try opening Pulse Audio Device Chooser, then play a Flash video. See if you see any new entry under "Playback", and see if the sound leve lis moving at all. | 20:05 |
| LordVorp | I installed Kubuntu, then decided I wanted GNOME, so installed that stuff and am using it quite happily. I've since upgraded from Jaunty to Karmic... but my boot screens all say Kubuntu. Is it hard to switch that? Is there a grub thing or a dpkg-reconfigure thing that can do it? | 20:05 |
| kraitos | khensthoth, did you get my last question | 20:05 |
| CarlFK | Is there an app that will make copies using a scanner and printer? (as in, click a button, scanner scans, printer prints. not scan into gimp, click print...) | 20:05 |
| nonick1 | trism: nothing changes | 20:06 |
| pdlnhrd_ | I am trying to intall 9.10 and when it boots up I get sound but no video is there anything I can do to make the graphics show up? | 20:06 |
| khensthoth | kraitos: Sorry I meant Pulse Audio Volume Control. Do you have pavucontrol installed? | 20:06 |
| bjorkintosh | CarlFK, disconnect from the computer? | 20:06 |
| sobczyk_ | is hal required for Xorg operation in 9.10? (autoadding devices) | 20:06 |
| henrik_ | CarlFK: Well.. | 20:06 |
| henrik_ | The best thing to do, as far as I see it, is making a small AppleScript. | 20:06 |
| henrik_ | Use Image Capture to scan, and then print it again. | 20:07 |
| henrik_ | Shouldn't be too hard. | 20:07 |
| CarlFK | bjorkintosh: huh? guessing no, quite OK with a dialog | 20:07 |
| aeon-ltd | sobczyk: no but it does kill a lot of hardware features | 20:07 |
| kraitos | khensthoth, hey on puls audio volume control there is a thing for the network access. let me look at it for a minute. yes i have pavucontrol installed. | 20:07 |
| owen1 | i try to connect to my home server with ssh and get: no route to host. any tips? | 20:07 |
| bjorkintosh | is there a magic trick to getting skype working on ubuntu? | 20:08 |
| pdlnhrd_ | owen1: do you have /etc/resolv.conf set properly? | 20:08 |
| CarlFK | henrik_: I know an app can be written. likely that it has. hoping it is in a repo. | 20:08 |
| bjorkintosh | it's simply not doing what's expected. | 20:08 |
| owen1 | pdlnhrd_: no, and i never had to set it in the past. | 20:08 |
| henrik_ | Oop.s | 20:08 |
| henrik_ | I was CERTAIN I was in the #apple / #mac channel | 20:08 |
| henrik_ | Not #Ubuntu | 20:08 |
| henrik_ | Nevermind then :P | 20:08 |
| pdlnhrd_ | owen1: can you ping the host you are trying to ssh into? | 20:09 |
| CarlFK | henrik_: I was wondering why you were giving me apple advice. you mean mac doesn't have a copy option out of the box? that surprises me. | 20:09 |
| owen1 | pdlnhrd_: no, unreachable | 20:09 |
| owen1 | pdlnhrd_: btw, it's all in my home. the desktop (server) and laptop. | 20:09 |
| henrik_ | CarlFK: I guess it does, I haven't tried it yet. | 20:09 |
| kraitos | khensthoth, on pavucontrol in the configuration section i have analog stereo duplex. is that suppose to be like that? | 20:09 |
| pdlnhrd_ | ownen1: can you check ifconfig -a and make sure you have an IP address? | 20:10 |
| CarlFK | bjorkintosh: what do you mean: "disconnect from the computer?" | 20:10 |
| Roasted | Hey guys - what VNC Server app do you recommend most for Ubuntu? | 20:10 |
| owen1 | pdlnhrd_: resolv.conf shows 192.168.1.1 | 20:10 |
| khensthoth | kraitos: Which type of hardware do you have then? | 20:10 |
| Coolest_Loser57 | Excuse me but does anyone know how to connect to xbox live through ubuntu?? i've followed some of the tutorials off the inet but their not wokring... | 20:10 |
| pdlnhrd_ | ownen1: can you ping 192.168.1.1 ? | 20:10 |
| bjorkintosh | CarlFK, you don't need a computer to scan and print and copy with those devices. | 20:11 |
| bjorkintosh | if the machine's getting in the way, then by all means, disconnect it. | 20:11 |
| renata | hello, I get this error when starting gnome-system-monitor: ** (gnome-system-monitor:23616): WARNING **: SELinux was found but is not enabled. Should I be woried? | 20:11 |
| owen1 | pdlnhrd_: no. unreachable | 20:11 |
| CarlFK | bjorkintosh: ah - that. no, I have 2 separate devices. | 20:11 |
| kraitos | khensthoth, for the speaker, is that what you want to know? | 20:11 |
| owen1 | pdlnhrd_: btw, i run ssh on the desktop | 20:11 |
| c3l | how do I access my ftp server, hosted with gadmin-proftpd | 20:11 |
| khensthoth | kraitos: Yup | 20:11 |
| owen1 | pdlnhrd_: with sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart | 20:11 |
| dodobrown | hey how do i get ubuntu to work as a live cd | 20:11 |
| ikonia | c3l: same way as any other ftp server "ftp hostname" | 20:12 |
| Roasted | put the cd in and boot | 20:12 |
| dodobrown | i downloaded an iso and all i get is an istallation option | 20:12 |
| dodobrown | i wasn't given that option | 20:12 |
| Roasted | dodobrown - you need to burn it as an image to a CD | 20:12 |
| CarlFK | dodobrown: sounds like you downloaded the Alt or Server CD | 20:12 |
| kraitos | khensthoth, well by the speakers is got to labels. one is altec lansing and the other is srs premium sound. | 20:12 |
| trism | nonick1: in the keyboard layout options of System/Preferences/Keyboard on the layout tab, is the ctrl key position set to default? | 20:12 |
| ikonia | dodobrown: there is an option to try ubuntu | 20:12 |
| coachz | hi, when i delete Desktop from my ~ folder it keeps coming back | 20:12 |
| pdlnhrd_ | owen1: and you can reach the internet through other means from the same machine? on you the computer now? | 20:12 |
| Ph03n|x87 | re | 20:12 |
| owen1 | pdlnhrd_: and i have port forward on my router. port 22 to 192.168.1.2 | 20:12 |
| Deus_ex_machina | bios flash question....is it straight forward in Karmic? | 20:12 |
| arand | dodobrown: you inside windows? | 20:12 |
| ikonia | coachz: it's created when you login to hold your desktop info | 20:12 |
| dodobrown | i put it on a cd | 20:12 |
| CarlFK | dodobrown: what is the filename of the .iso? | 20:13 |
| Todd66 | looking for some quick help. Watched a trojan horse decimate XP on my laptop last night and decided to reformat and use Ubuntu. I have it loaded and running, but have no drivers and cant connect online. Any suggestions for good tutorials or starting point. I have alot of computer experience...but none with linux. | 20:13 |
| coachz | ahh | 20:13 |
| dodobrown | one sec | 20:13 |
| Roasted | dodobrown - did you burn the cd as an image? | 20:13 |
| coachz | so it needs to stay :-)00 | 20:13 |
| coachz | thanks ikonia | 20:13 |
| ikonia | coachz: if you want to use a desktop, yup | 20:13 |
| coachz | k | 20:13 |
| dodobrown | ubuntu-9.10-alternate-amd64 | 20:13 |
| renata | I get error: "SELinux was found but is not enabled". Should I be woried? | 20:13 |
| Roasted | bingo | 20:13 |
| owen1 | pdlnhrd_: no (-: one sec | 20:13 |
| ikonia | dodobrown: there isn't a a livecd option on that | 20:13 |
| Roasted | its an alternate installer dodobrown | 20:13 |
| CarlFK | dodobrown: "alternate" = alt cd. so not the live cd | 20:13 |
| dodobrown | i burned it as an image yes | 20:13 |
| ikonia | dodobrown: you need the desktop cd | 20:13 |
| owen1 | pdlnhrd_: i lost connection on the laptop | 20:13 |
| dodobrown | oh =\ | 20:13 |
| khensthoth | kraitos: I mean what type of configuration - 2.0, 2.1, 5.1 Surround Sound. Just select the appropriate one. If you have a pair of left right speaker then the duplex setting should be correct. | 20:13 |
| dodobrown | that sucks | 20:14 |
| Roasted | dodobrown - re-download the "LiveCD ISO" version from the web site. Then re-burn as an image. | 20:14 |
| ikonia | Roasted: it's the desktop cd - there is no livecd | 20:14 |
| owen1 | pdlnhrd_: broblem solved | 20:14 |
| pdlnhrd_ | owen: both computers are on the same network (home router) ? | 20:14 |
| pdlnhrd_ | owen1: cool | 20:14 |
| coachz | what remote desktop should i use to go to my xp box? should i put vnc on the xp box ? | 20:14 |
| Roasted | ikonia - the desktop cd IS the livecd, man | 20:14 |
| nonick1 | trism: yes :( | 20:14 |
| kraitos | khensthoth, hold on let me look it up. | 20:14 |
| coachz | i see a few viewers in the software center | 20:14 |
| ikonia | Roasted: I know, that's what I just said | 20:14 |
| pdlnhrd_ | owen1: do you know why? | 20:14 |
| dodobrown | ubuntu-8.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso.torrent | 20:14 |
| Roasted | ikonia - you said there is no livecd | 20:14 |
| owen1 | pdlnhrd_: should i use different port (for security issues)? | 20:14 |
| dodobrown | ^ so that should work no proablem | 20:14 |
| ikonia | Roasted: I yes, there is no livecd version, it's the desktop cd | 20:15 |
| owen1 | pdlnhrd_: it's a laptop. it looses connection once in a while, i guess. | 20:15 |
| CarlFK | dodobrown: that will work if you have a 64bit cpu. | 20:15 |
| Roasted | dlkf;ajdlsk;fas | 20:15 |
| arand | dodobrown: yes | 20:15 |
| dodobrown | i do | 20:15 |
| Roasted | Live CD ***IS*** the desktop cd | 20:15 |
| dodobrown | cool | 20:15 |
| pdlnhrd_ | owen1: are you trying to reach a home server from outside your home network ? | 20:15 |
| dodobrown | thank you so much gental men | 20:15 |
| owen1 | pdlnhrd_: no, from the inside | 20:15 |
| ikonia | Roasted: yes, so tell him to get the desktop CD, not the livecd so he's not looking for something that doesn't exist | 20:15 |
| Roasted | djklfa;jsdlfksa | 20:15 |
| pdlnhrd_ | owen1: than leave it on port 22 is just fine no need to complicate things | 20:16 |
| CarlFK | ikonia: dont tell him anyting - he has it. | 20:16 |
| owen1 | pdlnhrd_: but many times i do it from the outside | 20:16 |
| pdlnhrd_ | owen1: glad it is working for you | 20:16 |
| kraitos | khensthoth, how do i look it up by terminal? | 20:16 |
| owen1 | pdlnhrd_: thanks for the help | 20:17 |
| Roasted | Im trying to VNC from my laptop to my ubuntu desktop. but what's the best vnc server software out there for my ubuntu desktop? | 20:17 |
| pdlnhrd_ | owen1: personally if your box is up 2 date there hasn't been a exploint in ssh server ever... but if you are allowing other ports through you might want to study up on iptables to setup a personal firewall | 20:17 |
| ikonia | Roasted: there isn't a "best" they all have pro's and con's | 20:17 |
| ikonia | Roasted: depends what your most important factor is | 20:17 |
| owen1 | pdlnhrd_: ok | 20:17 |
| nonick1 | trism: switching off comiz is not a solution too | 20:17 |
| Roasted | well, no kidding | 20:17 |
| khensthoth | kraitos: Look what up in the terminal? The speaker configuration? What speakers do you have? If you have a laptop, then the duplex setting is probably correct. | 20:18 |
| Roasted | I was kind of hoping for a common consensus on what the most common one was | 20:18 |
| pdlnhrd_ | owen1: good luck... cheers | 20:18 |
| ikonia | Roasted: there isn't one | 20:18 |
| Roasted | okay, I'll ask again | 20:18 |
| Roasted | Im trying to VNC from my laptop to my ubuntu desktop. but what's the best vnc server software out there for my ubuntu desktop? | 20:18 |
| Lunatico | gnites can some1 hlp me pls? im having Kernel Panic error trying to install clean Ubuntu 9.10 - kernel panic out of memory and no killeable process error here (with all distros) | 20:18 |
| moymoy | Roasted: i would use Vinagre for VNC, but i much prefer ssh anyway | 20:18 |
| ikonia | Roasted: if you have a specific priority though, it may be easier to ask | 20:18 |
| ikonia | Roasted: as I said there is no best - it depends what your priorities are, they are all like for like at a base level | 20:18 |
| Roasted | ikonia - my priority is to... you know... take control of the desktop | 20:18 |
| kraitos | khensthoth, the type of speakers? i have a hp dv4t laptop | 20:19 |
| ikonia | Roasted: then they are all the same | 20:19 |
| Roasted | moymoy - can you SSH through a gui? I've only ran SSH through the terminal. | 20:19 |
| Roasted | ikonia - which is why I asked my original question the way I did.... | 20:19 |
| ikonia | Roasted: the answer is there is no best | 20:19 |
| CarlFK | Roasted: there is something built in, or default. um.. gnome-desktop or something. it's a vnc server. | 20:19 |
| Roasted | ikonia - thanks, I get it. whatever. | 20:19 |
| ikonia | CarlFK: the remote desktop tool | 20:19 |
| LordVorp | so nobody answered my ubuntu vs kubuntu splash screens question. I found the answer on System->Admin->Startup-Manager, and it's a simple dropdown selection. | 20:19 |
| moymoy | Roasted: i don't know if there are any GUI tools for ssh, but you can use GUI programs through ssh | 20:19 |
| Roasted | moymoy - thanks. I've ran SSH to do terminal work to my desktop but I'd like to control the GUI now. | 20:19 |
| khensthoth | kraitos: Then the Configuration in Pulse Audio Volume Control is correct. | 20:20 |
| kraitos | khensthoth, right | 20:20 |
| sinthetek | anyone ever encountered a lua error from running a script that is supposed to install a .deb? | 20:20 |
| moymoy | Roasted: if you use the -X option in ssh (ie. ssh -X) then you can type like `gedit` into the terminal, and a gedit window will pop up | 20:20 |
| ikonia | moymoy: you do need a local X server running though for that | 20:20 |
| mgv1 | hi - why does myspace music getting stuch every other moment????? | 20:20 |
| LordVorp | moymoy: (which you have, if your in graphical ubuntu/kubuntu :) | 20:20 |
| Roasted | moymoy - well I want to have windows open on my desktop, then go to my laptop, take control, and have those same windows open. | 20:20 |
| khensthoth | kraitos: People have reported success in getting flash audio working after removing pulseaudio. Why don't you try that, and if it doesn't work, just install it back? | 20:20 |
| sinthetek | i am getting an error similar to "Overflow detected: Not enough space" or some such and then it fails (in karmic) | 20:20 |
| sinthetek | there is plenty of diskspace, swap and ram though | 20:21 |
| kraitos | khensthoth, alright how do i remove again. | 20:21 |
| guntbert | sinthetek: what are you trying to install? | 20:21 |
| khensthoth | kraitos: sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio pulseaudio-* | 20:21 |
| Todd66 | help please | 20:22 |
| LordVorp | sinthetek: lua is a scripting language, its use in this particular deb file doesnt' tie its messages to any system resources, only that it didn't find what it was looking for | 20:22 |
| sinthetek | i've installed the package before underintrepid and jaunty. installed most of the lua 5.0 packages to try to fix it | 20:22 |
| moymoy | Roasted: don't know how you could accomplish that with ssh, but i just find that vnc uses too much bandwidth | 20:22 |
| coachz | you tried tight vnc ? | 20:22 |
| LordVorp | moymoy: have you tried NX Client? | 20:22 |
| sinthetek | guntbert a lexmark printer "driver" (driver and management utility) | 20:22 |
| moymoy | LordVorp: nope, what's that? | 20:22 |
| Roasted | coachz - I just installed tightvnc. Where in the world is it to launch it and set it up? | 20:22 |
| Todd66 | dell wireless driver for clean install | 20:22 |
| LordVorp | moymoy: it's BAD ASS. using it w/ dsl feels like being on a lan connect | 20:22 |
| sinthetek | LordVorp i don't think lua is used in the deb, rather the script htat installs the .deb calls it at some point for some reason | 20:22 |
| ikonia | !vnc | 20:22 |
| ubottu | 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 | 20:22 |
| Ihavequestions | Hello everyone? | 20:23 |
| LordVorp | moymoy: I don't know if it's in the repositories, but go to www.nomachine.com and downlaod the free debs and it works very easy | 20:23 |
| sinthetek | i searched in relation to karmic and saw a few results but seems noone else really has this issue | 20:23 |
| Lunatico | gnites can some1 hlp me pls? im having Kernel Panic error trying to install clean Ubuntu 9.10 - kernel panic out of memory and no killeable process error here (with all distros) | 20:23 |
| sinthetek | hmm.... i wonder if it has to do with using the same /home from jaunty in karmic... | 20:24 |
| ikonia | Lunatico: what do you mean with all distros ?# | 20:24 |
| Ihavequestions | Would anyone have a moment to answer some basic questions about Ubuntu installation? I was wondering if i could install it but keep windows on there as a backup in case I don't like it? | 20:24 |
| LordVorp | moymoy: there is a FreeNX open source server-side package that's supposed to replace the NXserver packages from nomachine, but you still have to use NXclient from nomachine anyway, and *I* don't have the philosophical restrictions that force me to prefer FreeNX over NXserver from the same place as the client | 20:24 |
| ikonia | Ihavequestions: not a problem | 20:24 |
| kraitos | khensthoth, i owe you that worked. know what exactly did i remove when i remove pulse audio | 20:24 |
| coachz | run the live cd to try it Ihavequestions | 20:24 |
| ikonia | Ihavequestions: if you install ubuntu onto a different partition you'll be able to dual boot either | 20:24 |
| ikonia | !dualboot > Ihavequestions | 20:25 |
| bazhang | Ihavequestions, sure you can dualboot | 20:25 |
| ubottu | Ihavequestions, please see my private message | 20:25 |
| sinthetek | maybe a stale user config file specifies the wrong version of lua or something? seems like it would say 'not found' in that case though, not some obscure error that doesn't show up in google :\ | 20:25 |
| khensthoth | kraitos: So, you have audio in flash now? | 20:25 |
| kraitos | khensthoth, correct | 20:25 |
| CarlFK | Ihavequestions: the installer will detect windows and give you the option of installing around it | 20:25 |
| emma | any of you like playing urban terror on ubuntu? | 20:25 |

| ikonia | emma: having a problem with it ? | 20:26 |
| guntbert | Lunatico: 3 different CDs? | 20:26 |
| LordVorp | sinthetek: so are you able to debug the actual lua script? I can (mostly) read lua but don't write it. | 20:26 |
| kraitos | khensthoth, i don't have vlc but let me check on rhythmbox. oh and what are the advantages on using vlc on ubuntu? | 20:26 |
| Ihavequestions | o ok. i have vista currently, hate it, heard windows 7 was better, but have been told that Linux based systems are much safer | 20:26 |
| Todd66 | help to connect my dell on clean install | 20:26 |
| emma | ikonia: yep. | 20:27 |
| ikonia | Ihavequestions: they are not safer, they are as safe as the user running them | 20:27 |
| khensthoth | kraitos: Well, VLC is just a freaking powerful video/media player that plays almost anything. | 20:27 |
| ikonia | emma: go on, throw some details out | 20:27 |
| trism | nonick1: does ctrl+ anything work? can you copy and paste with ctrl+shift+c ctrl+shift+v? | 20:27 |

| neon_ | need some help, i have an USB tv tuner that has linux drivers, it is installed but i only get picture with no sound when using COMCAST coax cable connection, i live in an appartment so there is no cable box, just a coax cable coming off the wall. If i use the tuner with an OTA antenna digital signal i get both picture and sound, any suggestions on how to get sounf when using the coax cable connection thx | 20:27 |
| LordVorp | Ihavequestions: everybody hates vista. linux systems are "safer" only in that "everybody runs windows" so virus/spyware writers concentrate on that | 20:27 |
| emma | ikonia: urban terror is more fun with more players. Do you want to play? | 20:27 |

| atmosx | hello, any italians? | 20:27 |
| CarlFK | Ihavequestions: one huge advantage: 1000's of apps managed by the package manager are all kept up to date, similar to how MS keeps windows up to date. | 20:28 |
| emma | ikonia: oh okay :) | 20:28 |
| ikonia | atmosx: tons in #ubuntu-it | 20:28 |
| Ihavequestions | well rather, I've heard generally that windows based systems are more vulnerable due to the higher useage. for example, that macs are "safer" because they're not as frequently targeted due to the less amount of "users"? | 20:28 |
| LordVorp | Ihavequestions: also linux has a superior security model so that "making an exception for one program" does NOT automatically mean you've opened UR system at admin level | 20:28 |
| kraitos | khensthoth, audio works on rhythmbox. i know that vlc plays anything. but does all the other media player on ubuntu do also? | 20:28 |
| Parsi | khensthoth: still some problesms. | 20:28 |
| bork | I upgraded to karmic, and my wireless stopped working. Any ideas why? | 20:28 |
| ikonia | Ihavequestions: thats not true, they are as open as the user that runs them | 20:28 |
| Parsi | network manager is not functional, | 20:28 |
| Todd66 | Help with wireless connection on clean install | 20:28 |
| nonick1 | trism: 1) no, I can't copy from terminal using ctrl+c 2) that's interesting: when I push ctrl+c it prints russian letters | 20:28 |
| emma | Well if anyone wants to play Urban Terror pm me. | 20:28 |
| sinthetek | LordVorp to some extent. it mentions lua in the error so i'm fairly certain it is lua related but the file i'm executing is a .sh. i was hoping perhaps there was just an unmet dep or bad PATH argument in the script because i've never actually touched lua before :P | 20:28 |
| LordVorp | Ihavequestions: macs (as of OSX) are based on a different unix-y system (NetBSD I believe), and so share the benefits that linux has WRT security | 20:28 |
| CarlFK | Ihavequestions: "safer" and "why" are very complicated - there is no simple way of comparing them. there is no "safe index number" where you can see that 12 is less than 30. | 20:29 |
| khensthoth | kraitos: Probably, but I just got stuck with it during my Windows-using day. =) | 20:29 |
| guntbert | Lunatico: my first guess in such cases is a bad image - did you !md5sum check your images before burning them? | 20:29 |
| eddvrs | hi guys. I'm using VLC via jack and Everytime i skip tracks I have to reconnect VLC in jack... any ideas as to why/how to rememdy? | 20:29 |
| kraitos | khensthoth, right same here man | 20:29 |
| sebsebseb | bork: no other than, many people getting issues after upgrading from 9.04 | 20:29 |
| LordVorp | sinthetek: have you been in the .sh file? can you identify the part that barfs, or even just the part that calls (some file) that might be the lua you're looking for | 20:29 |
| nzapp | has anybody figured out how to watch netflix instant on ubuntu? | 20:29 |
| ardchoille | Where can I get the smooth gtk+engine? | 20:29 |
| Lunatico | yes i did and they pass ok. and justtryed with original Ubuntu CD yesterday and same problem | 20:29 |
| LordVorp | sinthetek: also, lua is designed to be an embedded language, so it could just be a bit of script in a larger app and who knows if you'll be able to change it | 20:30 |
| moymoy | LordVorp: that sounds amazing.. but i'm curious as to what connection you have | 20:30 |
| bork | sebsebseb: any idea how i should go about diagnosing what the problem is? | 20:30 |
| LordVorp | sinthetek: that being said, my favorite window manager, ion3, has a small C core and all the rest of it is lua | 20:30 |
| sebsebseb | bork: could try a clean install of 9.10, or try and configure the wireless | 20:30 |
| sebsebseb | !wireless | bork | 20:30 |
| ubottu | bork: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 20:30 |
| sinthetek | LordVorp i have glanced at it a bit but large parts seem to be compressed so i didn't try too hard :P | 20:30 |
| moymoy | Roasted: LordVorp suggested NXserver and NX client.. judging from his reviews, it sound amazing | 20:30 |
| bork | sebsebseb: thanks, I'll look at that. | 20:30 |

| kraitos | khensthoth, well, hey man thanks for the help. if i have anyother question ill defenatly call you up on here. later | 20:31 |
| khensthoth | kraitos: Anyway, PulseAudio is a powerful audio mixing application with some really fancy feature like streaming your sound to another computer. However, people seems to claim to have trouble with it. I never had. When you remove it, you just remove that functionality. | 20:31 |
| CarlFK | Gandalfar: better to ask that on #launchpad | 20:31 |
| sebsebseb | bork: you can test on Live CD as well, without doing a clean install | 20:31 |

| sebsebseb | bostikforever: certain hardware that used to work fine in 9.04, no longer does in 9.10 | 20:32 |
| guntbert | Lunatico: the next guess is a bad burn - did you "check the CD" from the menu? | 20:32 |
| khensthoth | kraitos: Anyway, PulseAudio is a powerful audio mixing application with some really fancy feature like streaming your sound to another computer. However, people seems to claim to have trouble with it. I never had. When you remove it, you just remove certain functionality, but it's no biggie. | 20:32 |

| LordVorp | moymoy, Roasted: you DO know that the X11R6 protocol really, really sucks for non-LAN usage, right? So there have been several different bandwidth-saving addons, workarounds, proxy solutions over the last 20 years or so. My testimony is, nx is best | 20:35 |

| kavurt | where does KINO save the file we export? | 20:41 |
| sebsebseb | bostikforever: It means that non LTS releases are kind of testing releases for new features. It also means that it's fine to use whatever version you want, as long as it' still supported by security updates. | 20:41 |
| Turno | does anyone know how to power down or reset the usb bus in karmic? | 20:42 |

| bostikforever | I guess I'd have to switch back to 9.04 | 20:43 |
| Turno | LordVorp: I compiled the program, but it seems usbfs support isn't included by default in karmic | 20:43 |
| sebsebseb | bostikforever: yep or you could try some other distro. There also may be a way to configure it in 9.10, but if so I don't know the details. | 20:43 |

| Roasted | Permissions Question - Can it be said that permissions on individual FILES don't mean anything since files tend to take on permissions of their parent folder? For example, I just set a file to have no group permissions and no executing rights, yet I can launch it anyway, yet the folder its in has 775 permissions with executing rights. | 21:02 |
| ikonia | ty5479: just ask your question | 21:02 |
| liar | sebsebseb: its an ipod | 21:02 |
| ikonia | Roasted: no, the permissions on the file are everything, they don't take permissions from their parent folder | 21:02 |
| eduard | LordVorp fixed my prob | 21:02 |
| ty5479 | I have an issue where I try to install ubuntu and it wont detect the drive | 21:02 |
| Roasted | ikonia - why is it seeming like they do... | 21:02 |
| ty5479 | but i can format it and everything. It's just in the installer | 21:02 |
| LordVorp | eduard: suh-WEET. so, working now? | 21:02 |
| ikonia | Roasted: I've never seem like it does, what's the issue | 21:02 |
| tom____ | t5479: What install are you using? Live or Wubi? | 21:03 |
| ty5479 | Live, i'm in it right now | 21:03 |
| eduard | LordVorp yes,i just guessed when copying over folder and was correct with my selection | 21:03 |
| eduard | LordVorp it was /usr/phpmyadmin | 21:03 |
| LordVorp | Roasted: they aren't connected. folder "execute" rights means you can access a file if you know its name, even if you can't read (ls) the dir | 21:03 |
| tom____ | Hmm.. and it won't install? That's rather odd.. it goes through gparted and everything? | 21:04 |
| LordVorp | Roasted: did you remove the OWNER execute rights as well, or just group? | 21:04 |
| ty5479 | Once I get to gparted it wont detect | 21:04 |
| LordVorp | Roasted: also, did it need exec rights in the first place (does the shell "automatically" know how to start the associated app)? | 21:04 |
| ty5479 | but if i use disk utility it sees it fine | 21:04 |
| coachz | my desktop shows a file and a shortcut but i can't delete them and my terminal doesn't show them in ~/Desktop | 21:04 |
| Roasted | LordVorp - just group, but the user in question is not the owner. One second, Im trying to set up a separate test thing. And I assume it needed execute rights since it was a .dmg package that my mac was using. I could launch it just fine from my samba server. | 21:04 |
| tom____ | ty5475: jw.. What speed did you burn your disc at? | 21:05 |
| LordVorp | coachz: do they show up in ls -a | 21:05 |
| coachz | no | 21:05 |
| ty5479 | I burned it at 12x half of maxium speed. Plus i verified it also | 21:05 |
| LordVorp | Roasted: .dmg is not an executable format. your OS knows that .dmg is handled by some specific app, which it launched FOR YOU when you "ran" the .dmg | 21:05 |
| Roasted | LordVorp - I thought thats where executing came into play, when you launch something like that. | 21:06 |
| LordVorp | Roasted: but that's analagous to getting a text editor when you double-click a .txt | 21:06 |
| tom____ | ty5475: That's really wierd... like really wierd. Maybe try using a hardy installer or a jaunty and upping from there? | 21:06 |
| coachz | i'll reboot maybe it will like that | 21:06 |
| ty5479 | what is even weirder it will detect my other two sata drives with no issues | 21:07 |
| mathepic | Upgrading from a previous install is probably even more trouble. | 21:07 |
| ty5479 | but ill go ahead and try that | 21:07 |
| tom____ | ty5475: Yea.. usually ubu has sata issues. | 21:07 |
| LordVorp | Roasted: the window manager is giving you something the OS doesn't, by default... the +x bits on the .dmg would apply if, at cmdline, you said ./file.dmg to run it. lacking -x bit, it will say permission denied. WITH -x bit, it will pick some (erroneous) shell to execute it with and fail | 21:07 |

| richiejenkins | Hi, Is there 3D support for the ATI HD4850? | 21:09 |
| jasonw | when i boot ubunto 9.10 i get no video can anyone help with this? | 21:09 |
| grawity | nytek_: It isn't -- they just both use the same libpurple core. | 21:09 |
| LordVorp | Roasted: basically, yes... the OSX windowing system is simply seeing that "Package installer (or whatever it's called) handles .dmg" so launching Package installer w/ the .dmg as a parameter | 21:10 |
| nytek_ | ah ok | 21:10 |
| nytek_ | thanks! | 21:10 |
| hackel | For some reason I can't connect to an unsecured wireless network with my broadcom bcm4312 that everyone else seems able to use. Seems a lot of people have had trouble with this...any ideas how to solve it? | 21:10 |
| grawity | nytek_: Well, they _are_ similar, yes. | 21:10 |
| tom____ | @richie, you need to install the proprietary drivers | 21:10 |
| KnifeySpooney | How often does Update Manager check for updates (same as 'apt-get update'), and is there a way to change the frequency? | 21:10 |
| richiejenkins | @tom do they include 3D support for the HD4850? | 21:10 |
| nytek_ | hackel: did you enable the restricted drivers? | 21:10 |
| tom____ | Kifey: Go to the update manager through the main menu. | 21:11 |
| jago25_98 | How do I activate the b43 hardware drivers without using the hardware drivers GUI tool (It doesn't like my network proxy) ? | 21:11 |
| Roasted | LordVorp - hm, I see. So more or less, executing rights is only if I want the files to be executable on my actual server itself. Executing rights doesnt mean a thing to anybody who hits the server from the outside, because if they can read it, they can execute it to THEIR system FROM my system. Is that train of thoght correcT? | 21:11 |
| hackel | nytek_: Yes of course. It works just fine with almost every other access point | 21:11 |
| tom____ | @richie: I think they should. I'm using a new lappy and it supports pretty well.. but be careful with fan control | 21:11 |
| richiejenkins | @tom ok, what card do you have? | 21:12 |

| Roasted | guntbert - thanks, but that doesnt really answer my executing question. already been on that site. | 21:12 |
| LordVorp | Roasted: I'm not sure that's correct. And besides, are there some kind of "Admin user" perms required for the package install? | 21:13 |
| jasonw | anyone with help with getting video working with 9.10? i try to boot into try before install and i get sound but no video | 21:13 |
| mathepic | Leoneof: <CTRL><ALT><F1> will go to a terminal session, is that what you want | 21:13 |
| hackel | nytek_: no, I have full signal. This is a common problem people seem to have. | 21:13 |
| LordVorp | jasonw: what kind of video | 21:13 |
| tom____ | @richie: 3200 on an amd chipset | 21:13 |
| Roasted | LordVorp - n ot on my mac. Anything I try to install it just launches. The PW doesnt come into play until the very end when it actually attempts to right the data to the applications folder on the hdd of the mac. | 21:13 |

| Brack | Need a hand with finding folders in terminal (I'm trying to compile theme engines) No matter how I try to direct to the extracted folder I get 'No Such File Or Directory'. Any suggestions? | 21:13 |

| jasonw | LordVorp: crossfire cable is attached too | 21:13 |
| coachz | i have sound effects set to no sounds but it still makes sound on login | 21:13 |
| tom____ | @richie: Yea no problem. you will have to reboot though | 21:14 |
| hackel | nytek_: it seems to associate, but will not give an IP. | 21:14 |
| Leoneof | mathepic: i did that, and i used sudo-s too, but when the installation will be at %100, then the message will appear about there are problem :/ | 21:14 |

| LordVorp | Roasted: I can't give good answers WRT OSX specifics, only WRT its correspondence with linux/unix behaviors... sorry. If there's come sugar provieded by the "DESKTOP" system, no clue. | 21:15 |
| tom____ | @ax: sudo apt-get autoclean | 21:15 |
| ax | i'm using 8.04.3 [because of my video drivers] | 21:15 |
| hackel | nytek_: correct | 21:15 |
| mMezquitale | Brack, if you want to find a folder name type "find . -name [nameoffolderhere]", you can also use wildcards in the name | 21:15 |
| nytek_ | hackel: do you have access to the router? | 21:15 |
| tom____ | if you know which broken package purge it | 21:15 |
| ax | tom____: what does that do? | 21:15 |
| Roasted | LordVorp - this site is saying that read permissions are 4. Yet when I apply 774, lost parameter. ?? | 21:15 |
| nytek_ | hackel: physically | 21:15 |
| LordVorp | Brack: (but you might need to quote the name if you use wildcards) | 21:15 |
| LordVorp | Roasted: try setting 0774 | 21:15 |
| bostikforever | Who wants to start a new distro? | 21:16 |
| tom____ | @ax for me karmic has been buggy on boot up but | 21:16 |
| yme | Please help!!! | 21:16 |
| Roasted | LordVorp - no dice. Is the proper permission 5? Cause it also says you need execute permissions to CD into that folder. 1 and 4 = 5... should it be 775? | 21:16 |
| guntbert | bostikforever: not here please | 21:16 |
| Brack | LordVorp; Didn't use any wildcards in any terminal statements. I'm just trying to direct terminal to the folder I made. | 21:16 |
| coachz | i don't see any setting for Log in or Log out sounds, nothing under System / prefs / sounds | 21:16 |
| sebsebseb | bostikforever: offtopic for here try ##linux or #ubuntu-offtopic or both | 21:16 |
| ax | tom____: i'm not running karmic, i'm running intrepid [or whatever 8.04 is] | 21:16 |
| jasonw | LordVorp: maybe do a server install than install the catalyst blessed drivers for 9.10 | 21:17 |
| LordVorp | Roasted: probably. 4 = read, 1 = execute, so 5 makes sense | 21:17 |
| LjL | preecher: not really, skype is a closed system | 21:17 |
| Roasted | LordVorp - nevermind, I'm an idiot. I didnt sepcify what dir to apply the perms to. 4 works :P | 21:17 |
| tom____ | @ax for me karmic has been buggy on boot up but 8.04 is hardy~ | 21:17 |
| sebsebseb | ax: 8.04 is Hardy Heron | 21:17 |
| Brack | LordVorp, my bad. I missed the find command. | 21:17 |
| preecher | LjL thx | 21:17 |
| ax | sebsebseb: okay :) | 21:17 |
| LordVorp | jasonw: how about vesa/fb/whatever the vanilla drivers are and then get proprietary drivers once you get up | 21:17 |
| sebsebseb | ax: Intrepid Ibex is my favourite release overall since 8.04, and that's 8.10 | 21:17 |
| hackel1 | It works for other guests here. And I have been connecting to other aps fine with this computer for months, both public and encrypted. | 21:18 |
| LordVorp | jasonw: I know there are video options for the CD but you'll have to look at the menu | 21:18 |
| jasonw | LordVorp: that is a command boot switch right? | 21:18 |
| tom____ | exit | 21:18 |
| LordVorp | jasonw: yeah one of the options on the "help" menu at the splash screen | 21:18 |
| pixie_pie | is /dev/random available on ubuntu to generate random numbers? | 21:18 |
| ax | sebsebseb: someone here suggested i use 8.04 because i have an older laptop with an ati mobility video card | 21:18 |
| jasonw | LordVorp: thanks for the tip.. I iwll look around | 21:18 |
| nytek_ | hackel1: what is the card? | 21:18 |
| LordVorp | pixie_pie: might be /dev/urandom, as well | 21:18 |
| === levy_ is now known as nozes | ||
| hackel1 | nytek_: bcm4312 | 21:18 |
| jasonw | LordVorp: sorry i totally missed it... ubuntu just always works.. | 21:18 |
| sebsebseb | ax: sounds like a good idea, since it's Long Term Support, so it's supported for quite a bit longer on the desktop, but also it's like a business type standard release | 21:18 |
| ax | the issue is, my virtual terminals are really large, the resolution is messed up, and I cannot see the whole thing | 21:19 |
| pixie_pie | LordVorp what is the difference? | 21:19 |
| sebsebseb | ax: yeah LTS's are basically the business quality releases | 21:19 |
| nytek_ | hackel1: ubuntu 9.10 right? | 21:19 |
| ax | sebsebseb: when they say 'long term support' do they still update packages to new versions? or do they just maintain security fixes and bug fixes and stuff? | 21:19 |
| LordVorp | pixie_pie: sometimes there's one, sometimes there's the other, and sometimes both. IIRC urandom uses a different source for noise? | 21:19 |
| hackel1 | nytek_: yes, that's right. | 21:19 |
| guntbert | ax: try ctrl - to reduce the size | 21:19 |
| sebsebseb | ax: only security updates, but there will be ppa's for quite a lot of later stuff, and you can install from source or whatever | 21:20 |
| pixie_pie | LordVorp... so to generate a randome number.... it's a bad idea to use /dev/urandom or /dev/random | 21:20 |
| pixie_pie | because you don't know if it's going to be there.... | 21:20 |
| owen1 | awesomeWM crash with karmic. anyone else have this issue? | 21:20 |
| nytek_ | hackel1: one second, doing some research | 21:20 |
| ax | guntbert: doesn't work [i'm talking virtual terminal, not x here..] | 21:20 |
| LordVorp | pixie_pie: not at all, just code in using whichever is available | 21:20 |
| ax | sebsebseb: ppa's? | 21:20 |
| pixie_pie | LordVorp... I can't accept that... how do yo uknow which one is avialable? | 21:20 |
| LordVorp | pixie_pie: AH: urandom is "non-blocking" | 21:20 |
| pixie_pie | before compile time | 21:20 |
| Brack | Still no file or directory. | 21:21 |
| sebsebseb | ax: yes like mini repos for a lot of later stuff, but they aren't properly supported by Ubuntu | 21:21 |

| LordVorp | pixie_pie: both are available, on linux | 21:22 |
| sebsebseb | ax: here's an example of using a ppa, whilst 8.10 was the latest release, a much newer version of Open Office came out, but people coudn't just get it from the standard repos since the security updates only stuff, however they could from a ppa | 21:22 |

| zilla1 | oh!, well if you didn't write over it, then all the data should still be there | 21:34 |
| Guest72607 | <ZykoticK9>: Ive tried with the same result | 21:34 |
| ax | sebsebseb: huh, well, ati dropped support or smethin.. so my video card will still be an issue i think | 21:34 |
| whammo | mynameguy: if you're SURE it's running hotter then it should, maybe some power management feature it's working right | 21:34 |

| nellmathew | hey guys with winff/ffmpeg what's up with Unknown encoder 'libfaac' ? how do i update encoder codecs? | 21:34 |
| Guest72607 | <oCean_>: any apt-get command ive used gives the same thing | 21:35 |
| whammo | mynameguy: BUT that's not necessarily a problem exactly | 21:35 |
| zilla1 | if you are having trouble getting to it, try a utility called parted, on the live CD, and see if it can recover your partition tables. if it can, you can use a tool called dd to copy all of the data over somewhere else, and then you can inspect it from there | 21:35 |
| Drakkoss | It may still "be there" but he will have to take the drive to someone who can recover the lost data which is expensive as I understand it. | 21:35 |

| oCean_ | Guest72607: tried to remove current version? | 21:36 |
| whammo | mynameguy: do you know if your lappy uses speedstep or anything like that that? | 21:36 |
| zilla1 | c3l, not sure, i remember having some limitations with fdisk. bottom line, if i'm at the level of potentially losing all my data, first step is back it up to a safe copy somewhere else, before I start messing with anything. | 21:36 |
| Guest72607 | <oCean_>: remove though apt-get? If so, yes. Same result | 21:37 |

| Roasted | ikonia - Ive already been to this site :( | 22:10 |
| Dr_Willis | rampage73: you need to give some sort of offset. i recall some guides/examples of doing that on the net. | 22:10 |
| ikonia | Roasted: umask is not for you then as that's a user setting | 22:10 |
| rphlx | drakkoss: you missed 1993 efnet #teensex :) | 22:10 |
| MiAlmaLlora | Hello. I have been using PortableApps in windows for some time, due to the increased speed, ease to keep settings if you have to format/reinstall, privacy, etc. Do you know why you cannot do this in Linux¿? | 22:10 |
| Roasted | ikonia - yeah, I guess not. mannnnn...... | 22:10 |
| Drakkoss | @d4non are you booting off the drive that was overwritten? | 22:11 |
| oCean_ | nono_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/324833/ that seems to be file/directory permissions problem. Check destination and permissions on audit_file_dest (from pfile) | 22:11 |
| rampage73 | Dr_Willis, yes i found some of those i was able to mount the first partition by using the output of fdisk -l -u file.img and taking the 63 * 512 for a total offset of 32256 | 22:11 |
| Dr_Willis | MiAlmaLlora: depends on the app and how you compile it. You can in some cases do a similer thing. | 22:11 |
| GiantTalkingCow | To anyone using an Intel integrated video card: given that Grub2 now uses a config file that shouldn't be edited, how can I add comments to the boot sequence in Karmic? | 22:11 |
| d4non | Drakkoss I am on LiveCD | 22:11 |
| Dr_Willis | rampage73: yea. thats about all i rember. i saw a artical on it once. but never actually did it. | 22:11 |
| rampage73 | Dr_Willis, the trouble is fdisk -l -u file.img is not giving me anything for the second partition so i do not know what to make the offset | 22:11 |
| mengu_ | hi. why do i get "GstMPEGAudioParse: No valid frames found before end of stream" this error for some of my mp3s? | 22:11 |
| oCean_ | nono_: the ORA-12545 is because of TNS config error. | 22:12 |
| Dr_Willis | rampage73: i wonder if you could use vbox and a live cd image and that disk image. - make vbox use that image as a hard drive. and let the live cd access it. | 22:13 |
| oCean_ | nono_: however all these issues are really concerning your oracle configuration and not related to ubuntu. This channel is for actual ubuntu support | 22:13 |
| MiAlmaLlora | Dr_Willis, but how would you go about doing that with Firefox for instance? Could you just extract the App to a folder within your home directory (which would be in other partition if you are a purist like me)? | 22:13 |
| oCean_ | nono_: pls don't pm me | 22:14 |
| Drakkoss | @d4non I don't think there is an easy way to backoff a repartition of that drive. My understanding is that it may be possible to have a professional recovery service get the date off that drive. I have not seen programs that will recover the data. you may have to do a google search. Don't use the drive, of course. | 22:14 |
| TeO693 | są tu polacy? | 22:14 |
| rampage73 | Dr_Willis, not a bad idea i will give it a try thanks! | 22:14 |
| Dr_Willis | MiAlmaLlora: you would conifure it when you compile to access a dir in home - yes.. but firefox is a bit extreme. Ive done it with weechat and a few other apps | 22:14 |
| Drakkoss | get the data ... lol | 22:14 |
| Guest72607 | <oCean_>: well, it worked with unistalling it. I think. However with reinstalling, I have another full set of errors | 22:14 |
| coachz | what does this mean please? The iwlwifi driver has been merged into mainline kernel since 2.6.24. If you are using kernels after this release, please use the intree (drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi) driver directly | 22:15 |
| Napoleon__B | epinky: I have pasted it on the http://paste.ubuntu.com site | 22:15 |
| richiejenkins | Is there any Drivers that will Support 3D Acceleration for the ATI HD4850 | 22:15 |
| oCean_ | Guest72607: that's not good. | 22:15 |
| epinky | Napoleon__B: then post the link here :) | 22:16 |
| MiAlmaLlora | Dr_Willis, what I don't get is why they don't release a portable app version as they have done in Windows with so many programs, is Linux really lagging behind in this regard? | 22:16 |
| Drakkoss | What is on that drive that you want to recover? | 22:16 |
| Napoleon__B | rashed2020: allright it works on mine, but I´m just a novice :) | 22:17 |
| epinky | Napoleon__B: what about the pastebin link? | 22:17 |

| Murom | Can somebody tell me which version of qt released with karmic? | 22:17 |
| d4non | Drakkoss not using the drive is pretty obvious | 22:17 |
| Dr_Willis | MiAlmaLlora: Nothing to do with linux vs windows from how i see it. The tar.gz paackages of opera and firefox can run from a installed directory in the users home. as can many other apps. its not a major issue to most people | 22:17 |
| Guest72607 | <oCean_>: http://pastebin.ca/1681496 | 22:17 |

| epinky | Napoleon__B: type on terminal: sudo /usr/lib/vmware/installer/vmware-uninstall | 22:18 |
| coachz | it says to use the intree (drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi) driver directly but i don't have a drivers folder | 22:18 |
| Drakkoss | @ d4non - yeah, I would think so, too ... but you never know. | 22:19 |
| Dr_Willis | coachz: what says to use that? | 22:19 |
| coachz | http://www.intellinuxwireless.org/ | 22:19 |
| MiAlmaLlora | Dr_Willis , so tar.gz packages would be to Linux kind of like paf.exe packages are to Windows? Would going from .deb packages to tar.gz packages be the solution then? | 22:19 |
| coachz | first line | 22:19 |
| flavetius | hello to all | 22:19 |
| MiAlmaLlora | Dr_Willis , also, wouldn't the app write settings, history, logs,etc. to a different directory than to that to which it was installed? | 22:20 |
| mneptok | coachz: which Intel chipset? | 22:20 |
| d4non | Drakkoss already tried parted, gpart, and testdisk with no success :( | 22:20 |
| Dr_Willis | MiAlmaLlora: No. tar.gz are just archives. if you compile the source. You can set it to 'install' to your home directory instead of the system directories. | 22:20 |
| brownapt | spanky | 22:20 |
| oCean_ | Guest72607: seems that libprelude has problem. My best guess is that it was installed as dependency of your (previous) snort install | 22:20 |
| coachz | Wireless 3945ABG | 22:20 |
| Napoleon__B | epinky: Yes that might just be the right command, thanks a lot mate :) | 22:20 |
| mneptok | coachz: and no access points appear in nm-applet? | 22:20 |
| Dr_Willis | MiAlmaLlora: on linux all the user settings stay in their home. If you compiled an app to install to /home/appname it would (should) make the subdirs it needs under that dir. | 22:20 |
| epinky | Napoleon__B: you're welcome | 22:21 |

| Drakkoss | @ d4non I didn't think dparted would backoff a partition sequence. I'f what you you have on the drive is irreplaceable then look up a drive info recovery business on the internet. I don't know how to do it using software that is available to the average user. | 22:23 |

| coachz | my access point is not broadcast | 22:23 |

| mneptok | coachz: so then why do you think your wireless is not enabled? | 22:24 |
| MiAlmaLlora | Dr_Willis , so if I put the home directory in a different partition, should I decide to make a reinstall of the operating system, would the programs still work without reinstall? | 22:24 |

| CosmiChaos | well seems like 910 is the greatest fail of cononical, nice that we have 10sec boot, but problems everywhere | 22:29 |
| coachz | so format, reinstall and be happy | 22:29 |
| knoppies | d4non, theoretically yes, Ive never done recovery on ubuntu, but I have done it on windows before. | 22:29 |
| coachz | it only takes 30 mins | 22:29 |
| rampage73 | dcosta, thanks will keep that in mind | 22:29 |
| kuse | Im trying to build xsp but getting this "Cannot open assembly '/opt/mono/lib/mono/2.0/sn.exe': No such file or directory." How come I dont have the sign-tool installed? I have build mono in a parallell env.? | 22:29 |

| Dr_Willis | MiAlmaLlora: i have whole books on just using the vi and emacs editors. :) and books on just 'sed' and 'awk' - Its all handy to learn | 22:29 |
| LucidGuy | Thinking of pursuing professional Linux education/certification and was wondering if anyone can provide some advice. Anyone know anything about LPIC? Is LPIC a reputable known certification? Would anyone recommend it? I don't want to specialiaze is RedHat so not interested in RHCE etc. Can yone recommend anything else? a course maybe? | 22:29 |
| gregL | _Trullo, Do you know how to get around using the live cd and a terminal? If so it's an easy fix.. | 22:30 |
| Dr_Willis | LucidGuy: learn them all, do them all,. Pump up that resume! | 22:30 |
| ardchoille | LucidGuy: RHCE can help you with general Linux education | 22:30 |
| Drakkoss | check this out: http://ntfs-recovery.com/ | 22:30 |
| knoppies | d4non, the idea is to install recovery software on another PC (make sure you have enough free space on that PC to put all your recovered data on it). | 22:30 |
| _Trullo | I have a terminal from this computer | 22:30 |
| MiAlmaLlora | Dr_Willis , I can see your point, this is an issue of lifelong learning... probably many lives... Yeah, I get what you mean but I often think that I am making so much effort for so little practical results... that's why I was beginning to think about being selective | 22:30 |
| Dr_Willis | LucidGuy: Id say that 80% of all linux is the same 'core' stuff.. the other 20% is just disrto specific diffeances/tools/issues. | 22:31 |
| knoppies | d4non, and then install recovery software on that PC. Then put your HDD into the other PC as a slave disk. The rest should be in a tutorial online somewhere. | 22:31 |
| oCean_ | MiAlmaLlora: this one might be helpful: http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/download_main.html | 22:31 |
| Dr_Willis | MiAlmaLlora: start with learning bash.. :) its always good to know bash very very well.. then go for regular expressions.. :) | 22:31 |
| johnthesavage | LucidGuy, a computer system administration course will cover a lot of what you wish to learn. | 22:31 |
| Dr_Willis | MiAlmaLlora: then go for learning a language or 2.. like Python | 22:31 |
| Dr_Willis | MiAlmaLlora: the 'regular expressions' will help out both in bash and python. Then you reelize you can apply python knowledge to your bash ussage. :) | 22:32 |
| d4non | knoppies sad thing is that it is a notebook computer and I don't have a cable to connect it to my pc | 22:32 |
| d4non | knoppies I even borrowed an external drive | 22:32 |
| fusion | i am newbie to ubuntu. currently using 9.10. and want to change the login screen theme how can i do tht???? i have already downloaded the login theme from gnome website. having extension .tar.bz2 but i don't know wat to do now. | 22:32 |
| MiAlmaLlora | oCean_ thanks I'll look into it | 22:32 |
| === MarkDude_ is now known as MarkDude | ||
| Dr_Willis | MiAlmaLlora: i will say that 'regular expressions' are one of the most amazing things ive seen/learned :) but sadly enough - i dont really use them on a day to day basis | 22:33 |
| knoppies | d4non, I know you can buy adapters that enable you to connect notebook drives into other PCs (IDE ones). I would assume you can connect a notebook SATA disk into a PC with a normal SATA cable. | 22:33 |
| MiAlmaLlora | Dr_Willis , my programming experience has been full of failed attempts to learn as well :) I mostly have studied C because I thought it was the language linux "spoke" | 22:33 |
| knoppies | d4non, I wouldnt turn the notebook on with that drive in as master, you run the risk of loosing that data. | 22:33 |
| Dr_Willis | MiAlmaLlora: i rarely ever touch C or C++. My needs i can do with Python and perl. | 22:33 |
| Dr_Willis | MiAlmaLlora: of course Im not a programmer.. Im a 'user' :) | 22:34 |
| * Dr_Willis is addicted to perl. | 22:34 | |
| aliasxerog | i always use c++ just because i find it easier | 22:34 |
| zilla1 | how do you determine if a partition is "mountable", and if it isn't how do you make it so? | 22:34 |
| knoppies | d4non. You could also look into getting a professional to do it. But I dont know if they specialize in linux partitions, or what you should expect to pay. | 22:34 |
| Dr_Willis | Pointers.. confuse me. :) and OOP seems... OOD. | 22:34 |
| knoppies | Dr_Willis, what do you mean by OOD? | 22:35 |
| aliasxerog | pointers confuse everyone | 22:35 |
| d4non | knoppies I am on livecd ubuntu | 22:35 |
| Hassan2a | hello | 22:35 |
| MiAlmaLlora | Dr_Willis , I guess I'm looking forward to becoming a power-user as well, but I thought in order to feel comfortable compiling Linux applications and to know what I was doing at the same time, I needed C knowledge... what do I need then? | 22:35 |
| Dr_Willis | knoppies: odd :) | 22:35 |
| TechieWolf | hey | 22:35 |
| aliasxerog | after c knowledge you need to something to use it on | 22:35 |
| _Trullo | so how do I fix the flickering screen at boot? | 22:35 |
| d4non | knoppies I heard that notebooks sata/ata interfaces differ in size so you must buy a damn cable to connect it | 22:35 |
| TechieWolf | i have problems with installing my rt2870 drivers under Ubuntu 9.10, i need special drivers, console gives me error 2 | 22:35 |
| Dr_Willis | MiAlmaLlora: i compile lots of things.. with very little C knowledge.. :) i just learned to read the proper docs.. and run the proper commands.. and toruble shoot the make/confogure issues.. to learn what dev packages the apps need. | 22:35 |
| Dr_Willis | MiAlmaLlora: i cant even do a helloworld.c without looking up examples... | 22:36 |
| knoppies | d4non, ah. I tried that once, but never quiet got it to work. What you want to do is install some recover software on your PC. Not sure how you going to do that from the live CD. I know you can custom build liveCDs though. | 22:36 |

| TechieWolf | i have problems with installing my rt2870 drivers under Ubuntu 9.10, i need special drivers, console gives me error 2 | 22:37 |
| MiAlmaLlora | Dr_Willis , mmm, so what's wrong in my current methodology (i.e. why is it failing so soundly?), is it just lack of patience for reading the doc files that come inside the tarballs? | 22:37 |
| Dr_Willis | zilla1: proberly.. but i never can figure out how to actually 'use' OO stuff in my programs.. of course my programs are proberly 100 lines long tops.. and do trivial things | 22:37 |

| knoppies | d4non, you still there? | 22:40 |
| ardchoille | coachz: AWN (avant window navigator) | 22:40 |
| coachz | that's cool but for now i want a doc for icons | 22:40 |
| coachz | i probably will use both | 22:41 |
| Dr_Willis | coachz: huh? doc for icons? | 22:41 |
| Dr_Willis | Dock you mean. :) | 22:41 |
| ardchoille | Dr_Willis: a dock bar like in OSX | 22:41 |
| coachz | a dock to launch apps from an icon | 22:41 |
| ardchoille | coachz: awn and cairo-dock are popular | 22:41 |
| knoppies | coachz, AWN and Cairo-dock do that. | 22:41 |
| Dr_Willis | coachz: the 'docky' theme of gnome-do is getting removed - theres a program out in the ppa repos called 'docky' now thats a stand alone dock. it works very well | 22:41 |
| fusion | ctmjr: actually their i am not getting "login window" i am getting "login screen" which only contains settings | 22:41 |
| coachz | do either of them let you do folders that drop down with contents ? | 22:41 |
| Dr_Willis | ardchoille: ive come to the conclusion that docks are not as usefull to me as a real panel. :) | 22:41 |
| ardchoille | coachz: both do, it's called "stacks" | 22:41 |
| ardchoille | Dr_Willis: same | 22:42 |
| aliasxerog | yeah i agree | 22:42 |
| coachz | nice | 22:42 |

| knoppies | d4non: http://ubuntu-rescue-remix.org/ | 22:42 |
| ctmjr | fusion: there should be a window to select login screen you just need to drag the tar ball to the window | 22:43 |
| trism_ | fusion: most of the functionality was removed in the latest gdm, so you're pretty much out of luck until they decide to add that back in | 22:43 |
| ardchoille | coachz: here is a recent screenshot of mine showing the AWN dock: http://lh4.ggpht.com/_ThiU34JN_2E/SoIG6agw9hI/AAAAAAAAArY/3VHoWTzm7vQ/s800/scr-20090811.png | 22:43 |

| d4non | knoppies thx will take a look at it :) | 22:45 |
| ardchoille | coachz: try them both and see which one works for you | 22:45 |
| Dr_Willis | coachz: i find most docks .. err.. suck. :P | 22:45 |
| coachz | i love my rocket dock in xp | 22:45 |
| Dr_Willis | 'docky' at least has lasted 5+ days now that i have it running... thats a record for me and docks | 22:45 |

| trism_ | emma: the customization of gdm (the stuff that used to be in System/Administration/Login Window) | 22:46 |
| fusion | trism_: wat can i do now switch to 9.04 again? i just wanted to learn ubuntu no matter what it takes | 22:46 |
| Dr_Willis | it has a whole 3 launchers showing, and 3 tools/widgits.. for info. :) | 22:46 |
| knoppies | Dr_Willis, suppose that means your not very big on desktop icons either, and you like to launch things in the terminal? correct me if Im wrong. | 22:46 |
| Dr_Willis | knoppies: with gnome-do i dont even need desktop icons, or a terminal :) | 22:46 |
| coachz | it gave me a clock ! | 22:46 |
| knoppies | Dr_Willis, maybe I should have a look into that. | 22:46 |
| knoppies | coachz, it can do more than just a clock, play around with it. | 22:47 |
| epinky | SeaPhor|borked: Vista partitions? | 22:47 |
| coachz | hehe | 22:47 |
| emma | trism_: i see. I feel so many things are being changed in ubuntu some times. Like a lot of people used to know how to configure their xorg.conf files to get what they want and need. But now they cannot and it's not clear what to do. It's like more stuff is done automatically but out of sight. | 22:47 |
| Dr_Willis | knoppies: yea. gnome-do is worth trying out.. the docs are a litle sparce on actually how to 'use' it. but its a nifty tool | 22:47 |
| trism_ | fusion: I wouldn't switch back to 9.04 just because you can't do much to theme gdm, you hardly spend any time on that screen | 22:47 |
| ardchoille | trism_: That's a very good point | 22:47 |
| Dr_Willis | fusion: you can downgrade to the older gdm.. but i wouldent bother. | 22:47 |
| coachz | ahh the dock showed up on my 2nd monitor :-) | 22:48 |
| Dr_Willis | fusion: make gdm auto login to your main user. and never worry about gdm :P | 22:48 |

| emma | And downgrading releases is not supported in Ubuntu. So you would have to do a full fresh install. | 22:48 |
| knoppies | Dr_Willis, I like learning by playing with things, so I dont read docs (unless its tutorials) | 22:48 |

| fusion | DR_willis: hmm,,,, u r right | 22:49 |
| knoppies | Dr_Willis, then what do you suggest I do? read the docs? | 22:49 |

| progre55 | how do you let the system know they are there? ) | 22:52 |
| Roasted | dr_willis - I've used AWN, cario dock, and docky, all 3 of them extensively. cairo dock made me sick. :( | 22:52 |
| knoppies | Dr_Willis, it seems they got their inspiration from the compiz settings manager. | 22:52 |
| Roasted | knoppies - yeah, in a 1980's retro style | 22:52 |
| moymoy | progre55: have you put them in your ~/.fonts folder? | 22:52 |

| Dr_Willis | knoppies: i was just thinking that. :) | 22:53 |
| aliasxerog | have you guys tried out gnome shell? | 22:53 |

| ardchoille | There's really no need to log in as root user in Ubuntu. I have been running Ubuntu as my sole distro since 2004 and never needed to log in as root | 22:55 |

| movela | whats a good app to create a iso? | 22:56 |
| movela | please help | 22:56 |
| Roasted | knoppies - get the bat and get in the car :P | 22:56 |
| ardchoille | Roasted: wbat is nice and fast and doesn't need compositing | 22:56 |
| moymoy | movela: have you tried mkisofs? | 22:56 |
| knoppies | movela, do you mean create an iso from a disk? | 22:56 |

| Dr_Willis | Roasted: ive been using docky (and the gnome-do dock theme) mainly. The otehrs ive tried have all had too many problems | 22:56 |
| knoppies | movela, or burn an iso to disk? | 22:56 |
| Freddy2 | is there any xorg server package compatible with an intel 915 GM card having support for virtual resolutions? default one doesn't have this option at the visual config app | 22:57 |

| opticon | i was doing some reading an come across something that suggests you shouldnt defrag hardrives linux is running on why is this? | 22:57 |
| Roasted | dr_willis - I agree. Docky is the only one who actually had some degree of logic when designing the dock. That being said, the beta of AWN that just came out is -really- nice. But Im still using Docky. ITs more responsive with auto hide. AWN takes a second to crank the dock up for viewing. | 22:57 |
| knoppies | movela, use the dd command. Let me find some documentation on it quick. | 22:57 |
| coop6 | fusion: type sudo bash and your password if your the administrator | 22:57 |
| movela | thanks blisteredradish knoppies | 22:58 |

In order to setup dual boot, I had to use Vista built-in disk management tools to shrink Vista NTFS partition and then install Ubuntu onto remaining space (which generously setup dual-boot easily).

| Wallace | monga: do you want this backup to be automatic or manual? | 23:23 |
| monga | Wallace automatic would be great but manual is also good | 23:23 |
| scunizi | monga: trevorj for simple rsync usage (ie.. not all features) try grsync | 23:23 |
| trevorj | rip: I wanted you to backup more than just the mbr | 23:23 |
| rip | ikonia: Wouldn't dd do something equivalent to gparted (doesn't gparted run dd behind the scenes?) | 23:24 |
| trevorj | scunizi: I hate gui personally, I was meaning for monga in case he didn't | 23:24 |
| monga | Windows Home Server automatically backs up data, and Apples Time machine automatically backs up data to remote servers. Does ubuntu have any application like that? | 23:24 |
| rip | trevorj: ;-) but I use all free software on top of non-free Vista kernel+shell. | 23:25 |
| ikonia | rip: no | 23:25 |
| Wallace | monga: and how do you connect to the remote server? is it on a local network (e.g. via wifi) or really remote...as in via the Internet? | 23:25 |

| scunizi | trevorj: monga I can understand that.. however I think it will generate a cli readable script .. good basis for learning rsync | 23:25 |
| monga | Wallace very remote... Via internet | 23:25 |

| Wallace | monga: I would probably set up a vpn and then use either samba or nfs, and simply copy the files using the desktop....eventually you could probably script things | 23:26 |
| Wallace | monga: but another way to do ... which is a bit easier would be to set up an ftp server, and ftp the files | 23:27 |
| Random832 | so is lubuntu any good? | 23:27 |
| Random832 | and how 'done' is it? | 23:27 |
| monga | Wallace Okay ill try that | 23:27 |
| trevorj | monga: I highly reccommend rsync or, as scunizi said, grsync is a GUI for rsync | 23:27 |
| sjefen6 | Could not connect to security.ubuntu.com:80 (91.189.88.37), connection timed out | 23:27 |

| d4non | I screwed up a ntfs partition in ubuntu installating program, I picked the ntfs partition with most free space on it and I thought it's gonna make a new partition in the free space, but it removed the partition and formatted the amount of free space into ext3 and the rest became regular unalocated space, any hope to recover the data?

| sjefen6 | Chris___: oki | 23:28 |
| Wallace | d4non: if you formatted the partition you may be a little screwed. | 23:28 |

| flootenkerp | oops | 23:29 |
| Wallace | d4non: i did something similar years ago, and used some recovery tool I found of the internet, but I lost a lot of data....in my case, I tried to put a swap file on a dos parition, and ended up formatting the partition | 23:29 |

| monga | yeah true trevorj | 23:29 |
| trevorj | monga: I've used spideroak before, but thats only because they say themselves that they do NOT keep a master key for your files | 23:29 |
| rip | ok, another question. I have a spare hard disk drive (full space available) with larger space than current hdd used to dual-boot Vista + Ubuntu. If I use gparted to copy over all the partitions from old hdd to new hdd, will the new hdd also be the same dual-boot of Vista + Ubuntu? | 23:29 |
| trevorj | monga: and everything is automatically encrypted using your password | 23:30 |
| d4non | Wallace trying again with testdisk | 23:30 |

| === Misfit is now known as Misery | ||
| scunizi | rip: you could make it your entire /home partition.. or if you'd like use something like clonezilla to clone your current partitions and then put them on the new drive.. it would work | 23:31 |
| Wallace | d4non: you may find a lot of the data is still physically on the disk, but if you formatted it ext3, you may find it troublesome to get anything conventional to run it. | 23:31 |
| monga | trevorj so the best metthod would be a ftp server or vpn? | 23:31 |
| rip | scunizi: yes, ultimately thats my only goal. right now my ubuntu partition is very limited in space, and i'm wasting so much time constantly freeing space. | 23:31 |

| zuez | Hi, what's the possible cause for this: The server may be overloaded | 23:31 |
| zuez | Everytime I'm doing a do-release-upgrade. | 23:32 |
| trevorj | monga: I'd just use rsync over ssh with a pubkey personally, that way it would work wherever you are | 23:32 |
| ardchoille | monga: you could always buy an external hard drive | 23:32 |
| Wallace | monga: i don't know about this rsync that the others were talking about....maybe that would work, but if you can't get it to run and you just want something simple so that you can just copy the frickin things, then ftp would be a good option | 23:32 |
| monga | trevorji how does that work if i have 20GB of music/photos in 3 different folders I need to transfer? | 23:32 |
| flootenkerp | Does anyone here know anything about replacing and or fixing ubuntu's usplash screen? I'm having an issue with it. Now I don't have one, and the grub menu loads me up instead. | 23:32 |
| trevorj | monga: rsync only copies differences | 23:32 |
| flootenkerp | Help would really be appreciated, please. | 23:32 |
| ardchoille | !usplash | 23:32 |
| ubottu | To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork | 23:32 |
| d4non | Wallace http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/Data_Recovery_Examples doing a reformated data recovery "bottom of the page" might be risky | 23:33 |
| scunizi | rip: ok.. then you could format it.. copy all your /home data (including the hidden . (dot) files.. then rename your current /home to /back_home.. make your change in /etc/fstab for the new uuid drive reference and reboot.. done :) | 23:33 |
| trevorj | monga: so once it copies it once, it will only copy what's changed | 23:33 |
| Wallace | flooten: what is a "usplash" screen | 23:33 |
| monga | trevorj sounds neat | 23:33 |
| trevorj | monga: and it works great with a whole bunch of data, I use it daily to backup over 110G of data personally | 23:33 |
| rip | scunizi: unfortuantely, it is a laptop internal hdd (and replacement hdd)... So I cannot use both old and new hdd at same tiem... so, gparted doesn't provide capability to "clone" a hdd? | 23:33 |
| paissad-hp | hi all | 23:33 |
| scunizi | rip: clonezilla is your answer then. | 23:33 |
| monga | trevorj is there a script you can write that automatically rsyncs it daily? | 23:33 |
| jonaskoelker | Hi all. It appears gnome-settings-daemon "steals" the ctrl-alt-n key on session startup, so that compiz can't use it. Why might it be doing that? How do I make it not do that? | 23:34 |
| flootenkerp | Wallace the load screen to load up ubuntu | 23:34 |
| trevorj | monga: yeah, easily | 23:34 |
| Wallace | d4non: well, if you reformatted it, you may be stuffed anyway. If you want to play it safe, and you have enough capacity elsewhere, then take a copy of the partition before you start | 23:34 |
| scunizi | rip: gotta run.. good luck | 23:34 |

| amaurea | Hi. After an automatic software update, my ubuntu 9 laptop suddenly lost its ability to produce sound. what could be wrong? | 23:41 |
| Wallace | I have 2 network connections (wifi & mobile/3G). I want my VPN to come up automatically when the 3G comes up, but not the wifi - any idea how i do it in network manager (or if i can at all) | 23:42 |
| zerq | msleather: no problem.. worked very well on my g4 powerbook when i tried, except there is no native flash plugin because adobe are dicks.. and the open source ones are still pretty sketchy | 23:42 |
| msleather | why are they discriminating against ppc platform? one would think this was a windows channel ;) | 23:42 |
| Wallace | amaurea: try the obvious...check the volume settings ;) | 23:42 |
| trevorj | amaurea: are your mixers muted? | 23:42 |
| mynameguy | trevorj: yes | 23:42 |
| trevorj | benedikt: .avi files are just a container format, they can contain a multitude of formats inside of them | 23:43 |
| trevorj | benedikt: you'll prolly want to install gstreamer0.10-plugins-* | 23:43 |
| promiscuousmode | This may sound like a silly question, but I want to install MediaWiki; i'm totally new to ubuntu. Do I specifically need Ubuntu Server Edition, or can I install Apache and MySql etc on the "regular" ubuntu distribution? | 23:43 |

| trevorj | promiscuousmode: you can do it on both =) | 23:43 |
| amaurea | Wallace, trevorj: Not muted, but the PCM dial was turned down to the bottom. So that was simple to fix. Thanks! But what could have caused that to happen? | 23:43 |
| Wallace | promiscuous: either | 23:43 |
| msleather | it sure is lonely on this on the ppc section of ubuntu.com :D | 23:44 |
| trevorj | amaurea: alsa stores your mixer settings upon shutdown and restores them upon bootup | 23:44 |
| benedikt | trevorj: what? priscous mode is ethernet stuff. Wrong hilight? | 23:44 |
| coachz | did i mention that Ubuntu is MUCH nicer than Windows 7 ? holy crap, who knew | 23:44 |
| Templar_Xion | promiscuousmode, Ubuntu server and desktop are not really much different, unlike windows XP and windows server which are two completely different beasts. | 23:44 |
| trevorj | benedikt: yup | 23:44 |
| trevorj | amaurea: if that mixer name changed with a sound driver update | 23:44 |
| trevorj | amaurea: it could reset it back to zero | 23:44 |
| trevorj | amaurea: or if it failed to restore the old setting | 23:45 |
| amaurea | trevorj: ok. actually, the computer had trouble rebooting after the update. I guess that might have caused it | 23:45 |
| trevorj | amaurea: that could DEFINATELY cause it | 23:45 |
| zerq | msleather: yeah, not much support from anyone for ppc these days :/ I have a bare bones version of debian running on my old pismo (g3 powerbook) and it works great.. ubuntu was too much for it though | 23:45 |
| Templar_Xion | promiscuousmode, it's more of a different 'pre selected bundle of packages' for server/desktop. Some kernel changes based on server I/O increases, but really not really any difference to a beginner | 23:45 |
| zerq | debian still has an "official" ppc distro i think.. | 23:45 |

| msleather | actually i see panther may be to much for it zerq :) | 23:46 |
| Templar_Xion | zerq, Sorry, I meant Ubuntu. | 23:46 |

| trevorj | ami_: update-alternatives --all | 23:51 |
| ami_ | thanks a lor trevorj | 23:51 |
| JairunCaloth | trevorj: I'm using public key auth only for ssh. And I can't seem to get my keys setup correctly to connect via nxclient remotly | 23:51 |
| Hans-Martin | ardchoille: I don't think that 'm mixing sources, but this system has been built by consecutive updates from edgy eft on I think. | 23:51 |
| trevorj | JairunCaloth: you need to grab the nx client key as well unless you used the nx default | 23:51 |
| Wallace | trevorj: also, do you know how I can kick off a vpn connection configured in network manager from the cmdline? I want my vpn to come up if I connect my wireless (3g/mobile) , but not my wifi | 23:51 |
| mMezquitale | JairunCaloth, can you connect to your ssh server fine using an ssh client? | 23:51 |
| sharperguy | Any quick way I can convert a bunch of jpegs to 24-bit windows bmp's? | 23:52 |
| ardchoille | Hans-Martin: ok | 23:52 |
| ami_ | trevorj update-alternatives: unable to install /etc/alternatives/rvim.dpkg-tmp as /etc/alternatives/rvim: No such file or directory | 23:52 |
| JairunCaloth | trevorj: I don't want to use the default keys | 23:52 |
| Wallace | sharperguy: imagemagic/imagemagik if it's still around | 23:52 |
| trevorj | Wallace: configured from network-manager? sorry, possibly something with nm-tool | 23:52 |
| Hans-Martin | ardchoille: I've checked sources.list, only karmic repositories there | 23:52 |
| ardchoille | Hans-Martin: Ok, good job | 23:52 |
| trevorj | sharperguy: as Wallace said, imagemagick is the package name, convert is the program | 23:52 |
| ardchoille | Wallace: it's still around :) | 23:53 |
| JairunCaloth | mMezquitale: yes I can connect via ssh fine | 23:53 |
| trevorj | JairunCaloth: are you aware of how NX authenticates? | 23:53 |
| Wallace | trevorj: the gui network manager...I've configured it all in there but i only want my vpn to connect if my 3g lilnk comes up | 23:53 |
| sharperguy | traveller, Wallace, looks like I already have it, tnaks | 23:53 |
| sharperguy | *thanks | 23:53 |
| JairunCaloth | trevorj: I think I'm definatly missing something. | 23:53 |
| FIReun | platform is ubuntu intrepid amd64 - tryinig to install libgtk2.0-dev it complains that I have libgtk2.14.4-0ubuntu2 installed and it wants ubuntu1 - - - maybe disabling intrepid-proposed then --reinstalling libgtk2.0-0 will get me libgtk2.14.4-0ubuntu1 and so allow me to install -dev ?? anyone?? | 23:53 |
| Wallace | trevorj: ... so i want to script it | 23:53 |
| trevorj | JairunCaloth: nx connects using the "nx" user using the NX server ssh key | 23:53 |
| trevorj | JairunCaloth: the nx user's shell is set to the nxserver's cli program | 23:54 |
| trevorj | JairunCaloth: nx then authenticates your sessions through that program | 23:54 |
| Hans-Martin | could anybody with 9.04 or 9.10 (and lame) execute "nm /usr/bin/lame|fgrep lame_set_write_id3tag_automatic" to see whether they have this symbol in their lib? | 23:54 |
| trevorj | JairunCaloth: so it doesn't even use ssh on your username at all | 23:54 |

| coachz | is there any way to get to bookmarks in a file dialog box ? | 23:54 |
| Trizicus | Could someone suggest to me a disk 'wiper'? A complete clean of my 'so called deleted' files? That wipes them as 0s. Can do it on mounted partitions on openspace | 23:55 |
| JairunCaloth | trevorj: I see. It is failing while attempting to connect to the NX server. My machine won't let the NX user in. | 23:55 |
| trevorj | Trizicus: dd will do it | 23:55 |
| Wallace | trizicus: dd | 23:55 |
| babilen | FIReun: The fascist was completely uncalled for. There are differences between ubuntu and debian and if we assume that you use debian, some assumptions might be false, which ultimately leads to a a lot of wasted time. Try to be a little polite nect time. | 23:55 |
| trevorj | Trizicus: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/blah | 23:55 |
| Trizicus | trevorj: it will do empty space on /? | 23:55 |
| Wallace | trizicus: dd if=/dev/zero of .... trevor beat me, but you could also use /dev/random instead of /dev/zero | 23:55 |
| moymoy | Trizicus: yeah.. dd will fill up the entire drive with zeros.. then delete that one file | 23:56 |
| trevorj | Trizicus: it will get rid of =everything= | 23:56 |
| trevorj | Trizicus: you may want to run it nine times | 23:56 |
| whoiswho | Hi.. does anyone know how I can get the Evolution mail icon to stop showing up in the indicator-applet area? (On karmic.) Thanks. | 23:56 |
| moymoy | Trizicus: dd if=/dev/zero of=/home/bunchozeros | 23:56 |
| Trizicus | Well I dont want it to delete my / partition I just want it to 'clean' it but leave data intact that hasnt been deleted | 23:56 |
| JairunCaloth | trevorj: I was using this doc to configure, but it fails still https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX | 23:56 |
| Wallace | moymoy: if you do it write, it will overwrite the entire filesystem, not just create a file | 23:56 |
| moymoy | Trizicus: let it run until the drive is filled to 100% | 23:56 |
| Wallace | s/write/right | 23:56 |
| ardchoille | whoiswho: I have been trying to do the same thing on Jaunty | 23:56 |
| whoiswho | really? i don't think i had the icon in jaunty. | 23:57 |
| trevorj | Trizicus: make a backup, wipe the drive nine times, then restore the backup | 23:57 |
| moymoy | Wallace: not if you specify of=/path/file ... if you specify of=/dev/someblockdevice, then yes, it'll overwrite the filesystem | 23:57 |
| trevorj | Trizicus: because if you just run it once it's possible to grab your files because the tracks on your drive are slightly wider than your heads | 23:57 |
| Trizicus | trevorj: That is just a little complicated. I remember in windows there is software that does it w/o the need to backup is there anything in linux that can do that? | 23:57 |
| trevorj | Trizicus: so sometimes they move slightly | 23:57 |
| whoiswho | But, yeah, I don't use Evolution and get annoyed at that icon for wasting space in my panel | 23:57 |
| Trizicus | trevorj: I know that lol :D | 23:57 |
| Wallace | moymoy: that would be the way to do it :) | 23:57 |
| Hans-Martin | eek - sorry folks, it was my fault, I had conflicting libs in /usr/local/lib | 23:58 |
| whoiswho | I'm almost ready to remove the indicator-applet entirely | 23:58 |
| vesper_ | Hi can anyone help me with a screen problem. A lot of the windows on my net book are to big to be viewed. I've altered the resolution, resized them, moved them and I don't know what else to do | 23:58 |
| trevorj | Trizicus: when do it how moymoy said to do it, but do it a bunch of times | 23:58 |
| ardchoille | Hans-Martin: glad you got it sorted | 23:58 |
| trevorj | Trizicus: and I highly reccommend doing it from a livecd | 23:58 |
| Wallace | whois: right click, select remove from panel | 23:58 |
| trevorj | Trizicus: let it fill completely to 100% | 23:58 |
| trevorj | Trizicus: then do it more times | 23:58 |
| trevorj | Trizicus: =) | 23:58 |
| trevorj | Trizicus: after deleting said zero file of course | 23:58 |
| Trizicus | trevorj: That requires too much intervention lol | 23:58 |
| whoiswho | Wallace: but, isn't that the same applet that's used to show me, for example, packages that need to be updated? | 23:59 |
| trevorj | Trizicus: then you can do it live the way moymoy said to do it, but you will still have some leftover space that hasn't been zeroed | 23:59 |
| FIReun | useless | 23:59 |
