| ubottu | There are people around who think it is funny to abuse a bug in certain routers by sending invalid DCC commands. When bitten by this bug ops in #ubuntu remove users so they are no longer targets. To fix it have a look here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixDCCExploit | 00:02 |
| mac9416 | Thanks, ubottu | 00:02 |
| Colonel_Panik | RFXCasey, Is you nick registered? some irc stuff on freenode needs a registerd name | 00:03 |
| lstarnes | Colonel_Panik: a dcc chat request usually would not require that | 00:03 |
| q0_0p | whats the difference between > and >> | 00:03 |
| RFXCasey | I need to know exactly how to enter an install option at the end of the install options list | 00:03 |
| q0_0p | for example i did ls *.mp3 > list.txt | 00:04 |
| vlt | q0_0p: Write to file and append to file | 00:04 |
| erUSUL | q0_0p: one qverwittes the other appends | 00:04 |
| erUSUL | q0_0p: one overwittes the other appends | 00:04 |
| lstarnes | q0_0p: > overrwrites | 00:04 |
| q0_0p | as oppose to ls *.mp3 >> list.txt | 00:04 |
| lstarnes | q0_0p: >> adds | 00:04 |
| q0_0p | ah | 00:04 |
| RFXCasey | I need to know exactly how to enter an install option at the end of the install options list <I having a problem with DCC not working> | 00:04 |
| q0_0p | lstarnes, thx | 00:04 |
| q0_0p | lstarnes, thx for clarifying it ot me | 00:04 |
| Black_Phantom | Hello, I want to convert ext3 to ext4 on Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic, I can't unmount my filesytem since it is inuse:S, and I dont want to format it ( long story ) help lease | 00:04 |
| Colonel_Panik | memory of exact requirements escape me... | 00:04 |
| Black_Phantom | please** | 00:04 |
| ardchoille | q0_0p: cat file1 > file2 - overwrites the content of file2 with the content of file1; | 00:05 |
| ardchoille | cat file1 >> file2 - appends the content of file1 to file2 | 00:05 |
| vlt | Hello. What algo is used to create the file name in ~/.thumbnails? | 00:05 |
| q0_0p | ah | 00:05 |
| q0_0p | makes sense | 00:05 |
| lstarnes | vlt: what are some of the filenames there? | 00:05 |
| erUSUL | vlt: probably some simple hash | 00:06 |
| q0_0p | ardchoille, so if i had two text files and >> two files then the two documents would be in one file | 00:06 |
| seanscot_ | hi | 00:06 |
| q0_0p | ardchoille, appending meaning adding it to the bottom? | 00:06 |
| vlt | erUSUL: hash of what? | 00:06 |
| ardchoille | q0_0p: the content of both files would be added to one file, yes | 00:06 |
| FloodBot3 | !netsplit | 00:06 |
| 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 | 00:06 |
| Younder | Black_Phantom, And I wanna bugatty veyron, but it aint ganna happen.. | 00:06 |
| erUSUL | vlt: original name ? | 00:06 |
| vlt | erUSUL: name, name+mtime, name+mtime+resolution, ...? | 00:06 |
| lstarnes | vlt: the files' contents or the original name | 00:06 |
| seanscot_ | can anyone help me with a problem ive been having with mobile broadband? | 00:06 |
| ardchoille | q0_0p: But, you would still have the original two files until you rm'd them | 00:06 |
| lstarnes | vlt: it could even be a random identifier | 00:07 |
| Black_Phantom | Younder, can Gparted live cd convert filesystems ? | 00:07 |
| seanscot_ | Younder , there you are | 00:07 |
| seanscot_ | lol | 00:07 |
| lstarnes | vlt: what are some examples of names that you see there? | 00:07 |
| q0_0p | ardchoille, i understand cool | 00:07 |
| vlt | lstarnes: random doesn't make much sense when you want to reuse it, I think | 00:07 |

| RFXCasey | i am behind a firewall will this break my dcc chat? | 00:08 |
| lstarnes | RFXCasey: it might | 00:08 |
| lstarnes | RFXCasey: don't use dcc chat. Use private messaging instead | 00:08 |
| lstarnes | RFXCasey: you can use /msg user message, or /query user | 00:08 |
| RFXCasey | just that people keep trying to dcc me | 00:09 |
| RFXCasey | can you help with a problem | 00:09 |
| lstarnes | RFXCasey: ignore them | 00:09 |
| RFXCasey | I don't use irc much so I forget everything | 00:09 |
| Dimitree | Any idea how to get ffmpeg or mplayer that works with the Nvidia Cuda drivers ? | 00:09 |
| lstarnes | RFXCasey: what install options list were you talking about? | 00:09 |
| erUSUL | RFXCasey: those "people" are script kiddies trying to crash your router. | 00:10 |
| RFXCasey | in the Ubuntu install screen | 00:10 |
| pfred1 | I got my Ubuntu CD all burned up over here and ready to go! | 00:10 |
| RFXCasey | how do I put a name before I type in this chat | 00:10 |
| Younder | Black_Phantom, no GParted does pationing | 00:10 |

| erUSUL | !tab | RFXCasey pfred1 | 00:11 |
| lstarnes | RFXCasey: type it manually | 00:11 |
| seanscot_ | Younder *** | 00:11 |
| Pici | !tab | 00:11 |
| ubottu | You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 00:11 |
| lstarnes | RFXCasey: or type a couple letters then press TAB | 00:11 |
| ubottu | RFXCasey pfred1: please see above | 00:11 |
| lstarnes | RFXCasey: I'm not exactly sure how to add install options. Someone else here might know (make sure that you say that it's for the ubuntu install disk) | 00:11 |
| pfred1 | lstarnes eeewww | 00:11 |

| ldvx | Anyone knows how an ati radeon HD4650 1GB AGP (I only have this slot on an old computer) performs for games with the catalyst drivers?? | 00:15 |
| Younder | ldvx: depends on the connection. SATA? | 00:16 |
| Younder | ldvx: I have a feel you are limited by restrictions of yoyr connection | 00:17 |
| ldvx | Younder: AGP 4x/8x. and IDE | 00:17 |

| RFXCasey | hum no love | 00:18 |
| Younder | ldvx: as oposed to sata 3 Gb/s | 00:18 |
| ldvx | Younder: so actually the hard drive would be a bottlebeck because it's IDE? | 00:18 |
| Younder | ldvx, right | 00:19 |
| RitterJager | I have gtk+-1.2.10 and glib-2.22.2 | 00:19 |
| Younder | ldvx, harddrives are always the bottleneck | 00:19 |

| seanscot_ | its a problem ive had knuthy since i installed ubuntu | 00:21 |
| Infin1ty | erUSUL, works fine from a vm with NetworkManager, as soon as the NetworkManager is disabled and i'm using wicd, it's stopped working | 00:21 |
| seanscot_ | im loving the OS | 00:21 |
| erUSUL | Infin1ty: once you get an ip averything is transparent. is the so called "net neutrality" | 00:21 |
| seanscot_ | but i cant get mobile broadband working properly | 00:22 |
| Infin1ty | erUSUL, so how do you explain this? | 00:22 |
| princezuda | Hi, I was here earlier with the issue that my ubuntu went down and I was forced into grub 1.97 beta 4. My ubuntu won't load so I downloaded a clean version to a cd. Is there anyway I can repair my pre-existing version with the cd? | 00:22 |
| xguru | erUSUL: any idea what would cause xorg to take 70% up while doing nothing? | 00:22 |
| spO` | er, what does net neutrality mean? | 00:22 |
| erUSUL | Infin1ty: other internet apps work ? | 00:22 |
| buzzomatic | Hi, having an issue with the installer, when it comes to partition my disks, it doesn't list the disk that I want to install onto | 00:22 |
| RitterJager | sigh | 00:22 |
| buzzomatic | I have two disks 80GB (windows) and 200GB (old linux) | 00:22 |
| knuthy | seanscot_: mobile broadband? you mean your broadband modem? WiFi card? | 00:23 |
| erUSUL | xguru: a bug ? some stray process? | 00:23 |
| Infin1ty | erUSUL, yes..,, it's the network manager that i guess somehow integrated with ubuntuone | 00:23 |
| tsimpson | Infin1ty: you should file a bug against ubuntuone https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntuone | 00:23 |
| pfred1 | princezuda you can mount your old partition running off the CD | 00:23 |
| Infin1ty | erUSUL, perhaps it's the way it checks the internet connection | 00:23 |
| knuthy | seanscot_: ah, I see :) | 00:23 |
| seanscot_ | its a dongle | 00:23 |
| seanscot_ | for 3G network | 00:23 |
| buzzomatic | I can partition the 200GB drive with GParted, but the installer simply doesn't list it | 00:23 |
| princezuda | pfred1 how do you do that? I'm kinda a newbie I've been at this for a month or so. | 00:23 |
| xguru | erUSUL: i'll do some home work on the issue | 00:23 |
| seanscot_ | its a ZTE one | 00:23 |
| pfred1 | princezuda I had to do it a couple of times last nite messing up on a kernel build here | 00:23 |
| knuthy | seanscot_: which brand is the card? | 00:23 |

| abadabad00 | Hello! I am running Ubuntu 9.04 64bit and usung XBMC (XBOX Media Center). Everything was working fine until I got a notification via Update Manager regarding an update for XBMC. I ran the update and now when I try to run XBMC I get the following message: "/usr/share/xbmc/xbmc.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libfaad.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" Can anyone help? I can't seem to find libfaad.so.0 on my syst | 00:24 |
| abadabad00 | em (odd because XBMC was working just fine before the update) and I don't know where to get that file for 64bit Ubuntu 9.04... | 00:24 |
| pfred1 | princezuda OK you need to run grub on your partition? | 00:24 |
| Black_Phantom | Hello, I want to convert ext3 to ext4 on Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic, I can't unmount my filesytem since it is inuse:S, and I dont want to format it ( long story ) any other way ? | 00:24 |
| buzzomatic | Anyone know why that might be? | 00:24 |
| Younder | buzzomatic, then you have a problem | 00:24 |
| buzzomatic | Tell me about it :P | 00:24 |
| seanscot_ | i need to log into windows , connect then reboot just to use internet in ubuntu | 00:24 |
| Younder | buzzomatic, You need the specs of the drive | 00:24 |
| erUSUL | Black_Phantom: from liveCD ? | 00:24 |
| seanscot_ | and naturally i cant keep that up very long | 00:24 |
| pfred1 | princezuda I know the slackware recovery floppy images just give you the command | 00:24 |
| leaf-sheep | abadabad00: #xbmc-linux | 00:24 |
| princezuda | No when I try my dual boot into ubuntu I get the grub line which I didn't get until after I did software updates this morning. | 00:24 |
| knuthy | seanscot_: let me check :) | 00:25 |
| Black_Phantom | erUSUL, I dont have the 9.04 and the 9.10 live cd, and its not possible to get them coz my dvd drive will never read them ( v. long story ) I only have the 8.04 LTS and 8.10 live cd | 00:25 |
| seanscot_ | cheers | 00:25 |
| princezuda | are we still getting bot floods?? | 00:25 |
| Younder | buzzomatic, there are unix utillities that can aquire disk information, but I am unamiliar with the format required for formatmagic | 00:25 |
| erUSUL | Black_Phantom: boot into recovery mode. try from there ? | 00:26 |
| Black_Phantom | erUSUL, i see | 00:26 |
| pfred1 | erUSUL does that mount your broken original root for you? | 00:26 |
| Black_Phantom | erUSUL, I will ! thanks for your reply | 00:26 |
| buzzomatic | Younder, I have no idea myself. | 00:26 |
| Younder | buzzomatic, you might have to hand code a drive spec | 00:26 |
| princezuda | hey younder: your familiar with my issue. I have a live cd of ubuntu which I'm running right now. How can I use it to make my other version of ubuntu to work? | 00:26 |

| Syco54645 | hello, i am looking for help installing unr on my netbook. i have a usb drive made and it gets to boot: so i hit enter (not sure what options i can pass there) and then it says "could not find ramdisk image" | 00:29 |
| Syco54645 | any ideas? | 00:29 |
| Younder | buzzomatic, we are probaly talking about a perl scrip of some sort | 00:30 |
| Younder | buzzomatic, one you have to hand roll | 00:30 |
| Younder | buzzomatic, expect to spend a week figuring it out | 00:30 |
| buzzomatic | :S | 00:30 |
| princezuda | Can someone help me out? I have a live cd of ubuntu 9.10 and want to recover my old ubuntu with it but I don't know how. I also don't know what mounting and unmounting is. | 00:31 |
| princezuda | My old ubuntu can't find any kernels after those darn updates. | 00:31 |
| knuthy | princezuda: what did happen to your old ubuntu? | 00:31 |
| spO` | do any of you have difficulties with alsa after upgrading to the newest kernle? | 00:31 |
| princezuda | knuthy: I did the update manager this morning, rebooted and bam I was in the grub line. I do not know much about linux. I know nothing about the grub line so I'm really lost. | 00:32 |
| Younder | Princezuda: well mountion and unmontin of drives is dome by mount and umount. It is mostly done by the automount deanond these days. | 00:33 |
| Younder | Princezuda: It mounts under /media/ | 00:33 |
| knuthy | which error did you get when you booted from grub? | 00:33 |
| princezuda | It just told me the grub version 1.97 beta 4. when I tell it to boot I get no kernel loaded, if that means anything. | 00:34 |
| Younder | Princezuda: basically mount takes a drive and prepared it for IO and makes sure the OS sees it | 00:34 |
| sekyourbox | how do you check the md5 of a file? | 00:34 |
| sekyourbox | or sha | 00:34 |
| knuthy | sekyourbox: md5sum <file> | 00:34 |
| sekyourbox | k thanks | 00:34 |
| Ripp_ | hi | 00:34 |
| Ripp_ | quick question | 00:34 |
| Ripp_ | what is the best way of installing ubuntu server if I only have usb access? | 00:35 |
| spO` | so alsa doesn't work with the new kernel or what? | 00:35 |
| Ripp_ | there is software to convert iso to usb format, right? | 00:35 |
| Younder | Ripp_, don't | 00:35 |
| princezuda | so in theory could I copy the disk.root file out of my old ubuntu and put it in a fresh installation that I can make with this cd? Would I lose any data? | 00:35 |
| sekyourbox | knuthy, if soomeone was able to alter your file before you get it, wouldn't they be able to alter the md5 too | 00:35 |
| Ripp_ | Younder: why not? | 00:35 |
| Younder | Ripp_, too slow | 00:35 |
| Ripp_ | I don't have a cd drive on this machine | 00:35 |
| Ripp_ | usb takes too long? | 00:35 |
| Ripp_ | what options do I have? | 00:36 |
| knuthy | sekyourbox: no no | 00:36 |
| usser_ | sekyourbox, md5 is not so easy to alter, hashing is an irreversible operation | 00:36 |
| princezuda | sekyourbox md5 does have some exploits but I don't believe they've ever been exploited. | 00:36 |
| hellyeah | are there anyone who experience with matlab | 00:36 |
| sekyourbox | usser_, you can just re-hash the file and alter what you see on the webpage | 00:36 |
| xguru | If someone gave you a blowfish-encrypted string "base64-encoded" with a password of "whatever" ... how would you actually go about getting the data out of that file? | 00:36 |
| Younder | Ripp_, actually ro akward | 00:36 |
| Ripp_ | hellyeah: yes | 00:36 |
| Ripp_ | What is the question? | 00:36 |
| Ripp_ | ro akward = what? | 00:36 |
| Younder | Ripp_, It was never intended to be installed in that way | 00:36 |
| hellyeah | Ripp_, | 00:36 |
| knuthy | sekyourbox: if he has access to the webpage, and change the hash on it, then yes, | 00:37 |
| hellyeah | can i come to your query | 00:37 |
| Younder | Ripp_, except by backup | 00:37 |
| hellyeah | this is ubuntu channel | 00:37 |
| usser_ | sekyourbox, not sure what you mean. if an ubuntu page is hacked and somebody put a different md5 on it you have got bigger problems | 00:37 |
| Ripp_ | Younder: what bad thing will happen if I install via usb? | 00:37 |
| sekyourbox | or just mitm what you see on the webpate | 00:37 |
| sekyourbox | webpage* | 00:37 |
| hellyeah | i have a problem and i have to solve quickly | 00:37 |
| Younder | Ripp_, never tried | 00:37 |
| Ripp_ | ok | 00:37 |
| Ripp_ | nevermind | 00:37 |
| Ripp_ | i'll figure it out | 00:37 |
| Ripp_ | thanks tho | 00:37 |
| FloodBot3 | Ripp_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 00:37 |
| ldvx | Younder: Thank you. Excluding the hard drive bottleneck, and probably the CPU bottleneck as well. If I were to choose between a Radeon hd4650 and a BFG GeForce 7600GS 512MB AGP both, What card would you choose? I am inclined to the nvidia because their drivers for linux have worked out great for me. But I heard ati drivers have improved greatly. | 00:37 |
| knuthy | princezuda: when you installed your first ubuntu, did you have a /home partition? | 00:37 |
| sekyourbox | so technically, you should have someone else check it for you :D | 00:38 |
| knuthy | sekyourbox: which file you're talking about? | 00:38 |
| sekyourbox | the webpage that is | 00:38 |
| Younder | ldvx, I would go for the NVIDEA driver | 00:38 |
| hellyeah | Ripp_, | 00:38 |
| hellyeah | pls lok at your querty | 00:38 |
| Ripp_ | ? | 00:38 |
| Ripp_ | ah | 00:38 |
| Ripp_ | ok | 00:38 |
| knuthy | sekyourbox: basicly, if you trust the webpage content (the md5 they give you), then just compare the md5sum you get from your file with the one from the website | 00:38 |
| ldvx | Younder: ok, thank you | 00:38 |
| hellyeah | thank you | 00:38 |
| sekyourbox | knuthy, I under stand that part.. I'm thinking its more for checking to make sure it wasnt corrupt during the downlad, rather than preventing someone giving you a trojan or something... CentOS-5.4-x86_64-bin-DVD.iso | 00:39 |
| sekyourbox | understand* | 00:39 |
| seanscot_ | knuthy , sorry mate my door went | 00:40 |
| knuthy | then just compare it with the md5 from CentOS' website | 00:40 |
| sekyourbox | knuthy, if there is someone that is mitm me right now they can change what i see as the correct md5 on the site | 00:40 |
| RitterJager | ok so I'm trying to run an Aikido (programming language) compiler | 00:41 |
| knuthy | sekyourbox: it's not that simple | 00:41 |
| sekyourbox | knuthy, I'm not that paranoid, I'm just saying its not a security measure, its only there so I dont waste a dvd | 00:41 |
| spO` | i don't know why alsa doesn't work anymore =( it isn't listed on my system anymore =( | 00:41 |
| graem | Hi I just downloaded ubuntu 9.10. I decided to do a fresh install rather than upgrade from the previous version. Now I can't access any restricted drivers. I need restricted drivers for my wireless and graphics card, but when I open the restricted drivers the list doesn't even populate, it worked fine with the last version of ubuntu. Any ideas how to fix it? | 00:42 |
| knuthy | sekyourbox: md5sum the iso, and check the md5 from any website that offer CentOS iso download, the md5 is avaible on many websites | 00:42 |
| RitterJager | and I need to get gtk+1.2 and glib on my ubuntu | 00:42 |
| sekyourbox | knuthy, its pretty simple if you own a router inbetween me and the website | 00:42 |
| knuthy | and it's unique | 00:42 |
| knuthy | sekyourbox: no one owns a router between you and the website... | 00:42 |
| RitterJager | when I try to configure the glib so that I can get gtk+ on it | 00:43 |
| RitterJager | it says that I need gettext | 00:43 |
| sekyourbox | knuthy, I'm sure they do, but im not worried | 00:43 |
| knuthy | only if the provider hates you , and wants you to download a fake iso... :) | 00:43 |
| RitterJager | I downloaded a version of gettext and when I get to the make stage in the terminal I'm getting some errors | 00:43 |

| Younder | sp0`: they have to do with configuration. | 00:45 |
| Younder | sp0`: in particular of Pyhon in automake | 00:45 |

| princezuda | woah! I can see my other ubuntu from the ubuntu I'm running... kinda I searched files and I can see the file it is in. Any ideas on what I can do? I really just need some data I have on there. I'm a rails programmer and I can't lose it! | 00:46 |
| abadabad00 | I am running Ubuntu 9.04 64bit and using XBMC. Everything was working fine until I got a notification via Update Manager to update XBMC. I ran the update and now when I try to run XBMC I get the following message: "/usr/share/xbmc/xbmc.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libfaad.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" I can't find libfaad.so.0 on my system (odd because XBMC was working just fine before the update) and | 00:46 |
| abadabad00 | I don't know where to get that file for 64bit Ubuntu 9.04... Can anyone help? | 00:46 |
| RFXCasey | I need to know exactly how to enter an install option at the end of the install options list | 00:46 |

| reeeeeesty | i made a script for school... and it works on the schools server via ssh. But it doesnt work on my pc... I get tons of "Invalid Argument:" statements. What could be wrong? My school uses ksh and i tried to execute it in ksh but that didnt work. | 00:47 |
| knuthy | abadabad00: apt-get install libfaad0 | 00:47 |
| abadabad00 | knuthy - its already installed | 00:48 |
| Younder | sp0`: a couple of variables that should have been set wern't | 00:48 |
| JoshDreamland | Ah, it was "use compact layout." It just does approximately nothing... | 00:49 |
| knuthy | abadabad00: ls /usr/lib/libfaad* | 00:49 |
| knuthy | abadabad00: results? | 00:49 |
| leaf-sheep | adante: "sudo aptitude purge libfaad0 && sudo aptitude install libfaad0" -- See if that works. | 00:49 |

| JoshDreamland | Including the size, preferably | 00:49 |

| knuthy | princezuda: not the hard drive, talking about partitions, did you install everything on a single partition? | 00:52 |
| JoshDreamland | It never did that on a newer computer, so I wasn't expecting it the first time it did on this one. Didn't think it cached that. | 00:52 |

| knuthy | princezuda: Accessories* :p | 00:59 |
| ardchoille | abadabad00: And you're using Jaunty, correct? | 01:00 |
| Younder | m3ga, as a standard ubuntu you user thre is NO root | 01:00 |
| abadabad00 | yes | 01:00 |
| lstarnes | Younder: there is root | 01:00 |
| lstarnes | Younder: but it is locked | 01:00 |
| ardchoille | abadabad00: Ok, your sources.list looks ok | 01:00 |
| abadabad00 | awesome | 01:00 |
| knuthy | Younder: there's a root | 01:00 |
| ardchoille | abadabad00: I was worried that you had added some non-ubuntu sources and that's what caused your problem | 01:00 |
| abadabad00 | thanks everyone!!!!!! | 01:00 |
| princezuda | knuthy: I didn't feel comfortable posting that on the channel so I pmed you. | 01:00 |

| FlailingWalrus | Hey everyone, kind of new to this, but I just recently decided to start using Ubuntu 9.10 and have had a fairly easy time with it so far, but recently I kind of just ignored what upgrades were being installed and now ubuntu isnt loading at all. When I reboot it brings me to a Bash page, and basically it repeatedly tells me that theres no kernel loaded. Any ideas? | 01:01 |
| CShadowRun | FlailingWalrus: try googling the error | 01:02 |
| Younder | lstarnes, lock the most critical files to protect users from themselves | 01:03 |
| RitterJager | did that work? | 01:04 |
| vlt | lstarnes: It's .thumbnails/{normal,large}/md5sum('file:///the/img/file').png | 01:07 |

| rodgerr | what software on Ubuntu acts to stop phishing attempts or other adware attacks? | 01:08 |
| knuthy | RitterJager: so you want to install gettext, right? | 01:09 |
| Majost | rodgerr, snort and spamassassin | 01:09 |
| knuthy | RitterJager: why don't you just install it from synaptics? | 01:09 |
| m3ga | Younder: i meant fs root (ie / ) not /root | 01:09 |
| ardchoille | rodgerr: Common sense goes a long way in combating those as well. | 01:10 |
| Younder | m3ga, doesn't matter | 01:10 |
| Proteque | evening. I have a issue with the msi wind u100. the trackpad is not working. the pointer jumps to left down corner when touching it. I am running the newest ubuntu netbook remix. | 01:10 |
| RitterJager | I took the link they gave me to download it straight from the terminal | 01:10 |
| Majost | rodgerr, but thats more geared towards handling it at the network admin level, not so much a single desktop/workstation | 01:10 |
| Younder | m3ga, there is a root, and you cand acess it | 01:10 |
| Younder | m3ga, unless you 'sudo passwd root' | 01:11 |
| m3ga | Younder: initramfs can't find the root filesystem (nothing to do with root user) | 01:11 |
| Younder | m3ga, which you probably shouldn't do | 01:11 |
| knuthy | m3ga: do you have a /dev/md0? | 01:11 |
| ardchoille | Please don't teach people to create a root password. It isn't needed or necessary, nor is it supported. | 01:12 |
| RitterJager | knuthy: do you have a link were I can get it from synaptics? | 01:12 |
| Proteque | I have tried google around for an hour but just met dead ends... | 01:12 |
| m3ga | initramfs isn't starting it so no /dev/md0 | 01:12 |
| Younder | m3ga, why would there be a root file system? | 01:12 |
| RitterJager | http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/gettext.html#TOCdownloading | 01:12 |
| rodgerr | Well - I have never had an occurrence on Windoz using Kaspersky but moving to Linux I am unsure how protected I am | 01:12 |
| m3ga | Younder: / | 01:12 |
| knuthy | RitterJager: just go System > Administration > Synaptics | 01:12 |
| Younder | m3ga, exactly | 01:12 |
| knuthy | RitterJager: search for gettext, check it for install, and you're done | 01:12 |
| Younder | m3ga, but it is not CALLED root | 01:13 |
| m3ga | knuthy: if i boot to a rescue usb stick the /dev/md0 device gets started. | 01:13 |
| m3ga | but initramfs isn't starting it. | 01:13 |
| knuthy | m3ga: hm, you mean that it's started on the usb stick install, and not on your normal install? | 01:14 |
| rodgerr | What program would I use to convert wav files to MP3 in Ubuntu | 01:14 |
| m3ga | knuthy: yes | 01:15 |
| RitterJager | it won't let me install it | 01:15 |
| Younder | m3ga, Well If you can't even find / you are truly F**** | 01:15 |
| RitterJager | only remove it | 01:15 |

| Younder | m3ga, reformat and reinstall. Iff the drive works | 01:16 |
| RitterJager | then why when I try to configure glib does it say I need it? | 01:16 |
| rodgerr | mac9416: thanks | 01:16 |
| m3ga | Younder: please go away | 01:16 |
| knuthy | m3ga: well actually I see that there's no initramfs on the /boot | 01:16 |
| knuthy | m3ga: ah, initrd, | 01:16 |
| Arsin | nonewmsgs: Do you need to click a button? | 01:16 |
| mac9416 | rodgerr, no prob. You may want to install ubuntu-restricted-extras to get all necessary codecs. | 01:16 |
| Younder | m3ga, I beg your pardon | 01:17 |
| Younder | m3ga, I am only laying down the options as I see them | 01:17 |
| nonewmsgs | Arsin, yeah i just need to click play | 01:17 |

| rodgerr | I attempted to change the sound file for incoming mail in thunderbird making it a wav file and I only get white noise. OS is Ubuntu latest version. Ubuntu recognizes wav file and plays it in movie player so what gives in thunderbird? Any ideas?? | 01:21 |
| Wofo | The update manager told me to update, I did it without seeing what I was updating, then I rebooted and now it runs on console. I tried to start gdm but it didn't work | 01:22 |

| mordof | this may be a stupid question.. but.. the x, y of the mouse - is that the VERY top left pixel of the mouse icon? | 01:28 |
| sybariten | should i need to worry that my homedir and other settings files that may be scattered around, can be hurt by a dist-upgrade ? (gutsy --> hardy) | 01:28 |

| Proteque | any hints on what I can do to resolve this? | 01:30 |

| jamnz | since installing 9.10, my network (wireless) shows garbled lettering in stead of alphabet lettering. | 01:36 |
| mordof | andrean: using fglrx with a downgraded version of X | 01:36 |
| Snakes | Make a note of the changes before you do just incase it doesn't work you can change it back. | 01:36 |
| andrean | mordof: But it does the same thing whether compiz is running or not? | 01:36 |
| maco | rafiq: is compiz *running* though?\ | 01:36 |
| mordof | andrean: no idea, i haven't checked - i'll try that now | 01:36 |

| Oilut | rodgerr like virtual box? | 01:39 |

| Snakes | ahh I see, you changed it all back? | 01:43 |
| m3ga | knuthy: sorry no. i've done all of that stuff | 01:43 |
| mordof | Younder: window positioning? isn't it more likely that the mouse is offset by a bit than every single application in my entire OS is off? | 01:44 |
| nuxil | no one? | 01:44 |
| Snakes | That solution may work on 32bit otherwise you're gona have to wait for ubuntu to fix the problem - they know about it, it's just not fixed yet. | 01:44 |

| Snakes | 1.0.1 I believe. | 01:49 |
| knuthy | mordof: you can correct that in Xorg configuration | 01:49 |

| mordof | knuthy: any chance you could point me in the right direction with a well-formatted google search? :o lol. if not i'll dig around for a bit myself, but i have a feeling you have a better idea of what to look for than i do | 01:51 |
| mac9416 | rodgerr, so that's the error you are getting when you try to import the .wav? | 01:51 |
| Ziber | over dhcp. | 01:51 |
| Snakes | Type ls rafiq it might appear there. | 01:51 |
| maco | Ziber: ok then one of your machines gets an IP and the rest dont | 01:51 |
| rodgerr | mac9416: yes | 01:51 |
| maco | Ziber: if you want more than one machine online at a time you either need to buy more IPs or use NAT | 01:52 |
| Ziber | maco: But my router doesnt work with proto 41, ipv6. | 01:52 |
| maco | Ziber: get a better router | 01:52 |
| knuthy | hm | 01:53 |

| declan2 | bazhang, baytes-vm : Which is lighter, fluxbox or lxde? | 02:37 |
| Lithium_Rain | Same here. I think we need to just keep denying them. | 02:37 |
| declan2 | Also, which is easier to switch to from xubuntu? | 02:37 |
| bazhang | declan2, hard to say, probably flux by a fraction | 02:37 |

| louise | unetbootin? | 02:39 |
| Lithium_Rain | Google. :) | 02:39 |
| IdleOne | 02:39 | |
| ubottu | While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. | 02:39 |
| bazhang | louise, which version of ubuntu are you using now | 02:39 |
| louise | bazhang : What about "USB Startup disk creator"? what's that for? | 02:39 |
| louise | 9.1 | 02:39 |
| Lithium_Rain | IdleOne: Apologies. :) | 02:39 |
| IdleOne | Lithium_Rain: no problem. | 02:40 |
| bazhang | louise, that serves the same purpose; I have had much greater success with unetbootin which is in the karmic repos | 02:40 |

| alifazel | I updated my vista dual-boot to win7 and it overwrote my bootloader so I booted up to a 9.10 live CD, mounted my file system, and ran grub-install --root-directory=/media/root /dev/sda, but now when I reboot, I just get a grub shell, any help? | 02:44 |
| HilBilly | try it without the /media/root part. | 02:45 |
| bazhang | louise, your post got cut off; I see no mention of your problem | 02:45 |
| wolf23 | freetown: Can not install 'smile' (E:Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.) | 02:46 |
| louise | bazhang can we talk in another window? so I can read your post | 02:46 |

| spO` | KARMIC is the most bugy OS I have ever used... i did a recent upgrade yesterday... with the new kernel and whatever else there was and now ALSA doesn't work ... | 02:47 |
| HilBilly | yes, but you don't want the CD to be your boot directory, do you? | 02:47 |

| HilBilly | let me think here, alifazel ... what partion is your /boot/ directory on ? | 02:52 |
| freetown | wolf23, sorry, not sure about native apps but you could try a Windows one under Wine | 02:52 |
| alifazel | ChogyDan: thanks, I'll follow that | 02:52 |
| spO` | what is the support chanenl for jaunty? i want to downgrade... karmic is too buggy | 02:52 |
| alifazel | HilBilly: /boot is on /dev/sda5 | 02:52 |
| HilBilly | this channel | 02:52 |
| wolf23 | freetown: nuh!!! wine not good :( | 02:52 |
| louise | First, I can installed successfully with the out of box "USB startup disk creator" and probably can do it by UNetbootin | 02:52 |
| cl0ne | install virtualbox then xp on it | 02:52 |
| RFXCasey | Hi, I need some help with using install options | 02:53 |
| spO` | any of you have broken alsa sound after the recent upgrade? | 02:53 |
| HilBilly | sda5 would be a logical partion ... don't think grub can see that. | 02:53 |
| bazhang | RFXCasey, please give more details then just repeating that | 02:53 |
| HilBilly | it should be on a primary partition. | 02:53 |
| alifazel | HilBilly: it's on sda | 02:53 |
| louise | but I want to take this USB-pen to a cyber-cafe so I can boot one of the PCs with Ubuntu, because the Cyber-Cafe limit almost everything on their PCs | 02:53 |
| HilBilly | a hard drive only has four primary partitions. | 02:53 |
| Pricey | louise: They do that for a reason, have you asked if its ok for you to boot a random OS? | 02:54 |
| louise | Pricey : You don't understand!! They don't even allow you to use Firefox!! and Downloading file!! How's that? | 02:54 |
| Pricey | louise: You shouldn't bypass their restrictions without getting permission is all. | 02:54 |
| cl0ne | then they have also locked the usb ports in bios | 02:54 |
| usser_ | HilBilly, alifazel --root-directory specifies just that, the location of a root directory, so if your /boot is on sda5 you have to mount to say /mnt and install grub with grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda | 02:54 |
| louise | That's why I want an Ubuntu-ready USB-pen | 02:55 |
| usser_ | HilBilly, that will install to the mbr of sda with root partition being on sda5 | 02:55 |
| freetown | wolf23, huh? there are stuff that run fine under Wine | 02:55 |
| louise | Pricey : Of course I have their permission to do so!! | 02:55 |

Also, when I connect directly to the hard drive via USB, I am able to read and write without problems. Does anyone have any ideas? | 03:32 |

| binMonkey | hi, guys. i'm going to buy a laptop this weekend. it'll be a 64 bit system with four gigs of ram. i'm going to keep windows and dual boot. will the 32 bit version of ubuntu recognize all four gig of ram or do i need 64 to do that? and do flash and java work on 64 bit? | 03:35 |

| BlueParrot | did a recent update screw with mosue settings per chance ? | 03:35 |
| BlueParrot | I've lost scrolling from my third mous ebutton : ( | 03:35 |
| shentino | in theory, 32 bit with PAE should recognize all four gigs | 03:35 |
| xjustyb11 | Wilabob: Open Synaptic and hit the reload button. | 03:35 |
| BlueParrot | in firefox | 03:35 |
| BlueParrot | and it's not firefox that si wrong, pressing both buttons to emulate it works | 03:36 |
| shentino | the actual limit on physical memory is 64G | 03:36 |
| binMonkey | shentino: what is pae? | 03:36 |
| BlueParrot | it just the 3rd button seems to double click or something | 03:36 |
| BlueParrot | and I can't figure out why | 03:36 |
| BlueParrot | :-( | 03:36 |
| xjustyb11 | Wilabob: Then open that GUI thing for hardware drivers. | 03:36 |
| shentino | Physical Address Extension | 03:36 |
| shentino | it's a page table format that allows the CPU to access a 36-bit physical address insteado f just a 32-bit | 03:37 |
| shentino | so, you need PAE support if you have more than 4G physical address space | 03:37 |
| binMonkey | how do i install it? is it in the repos? | 03:37 |
| Zzarkc | Wow. This IRC chat just freaked on me. I had to go and register my name and a ton of stuff. | 03:37 |

| xjustyb11 | binMonkey: Try dmesg | grep -i memory | 03:41 |
| chris231989 | binmonkey: free | 03:41 |
| chris231989 | that too | 03:41 |

| BryanC | i have read some guides and i think i know what needs to be done but i would like some help in the implementation. | 04:04 |
| Sememmon | ZykoticK9: This is what I followed on 8.10: http://idyllictux.wordpress.com/2008/10/29/alsa-instead-of-pulseaudio-for-ubuntu-810-intrepid-a-non-destructive-way/ | 04:04 |
| phix | hey, what happened to the SIP client in Ubuntu? | 04:04 |
| phix | gnome or gphone or something, what is a recommended SIP client to use in Ubuntu? | 04:05 |
| Sememmon | looks like he has a 9.04 post too. | 04:05 |
| ZykoticK9 | Sememmon, thanks! might try that next time round. | 04:05 |
| mezquitale | phix, just use "add/remove? and search for SIP | 04:05 |
| phix | mezquitale: oh yeah, which one do you recommend? | 04:06 |
| Sememmon | ZykoticK9: there's a discussin in his 9.04 post about it working in 9.10 also. | 04:06 |
| mezquitale | phix, sorry ive never used SIP clients | 04:06 |
| Sememmon | didn't even think about that .. removing/disabling pulse.. I might just have to try. | 04:06 |
| phix | mezquitale: hmmm only twinkle pops up | 04:08 |
| ZykoticK9 | Sememmon, all my audio was working fine with Pulse -- except games, which where unplayable due to crackling/static/generally-BAD-sound, now my games sound as they where suppose to | 04:08 |
| Sememmon | ZykoticK9: that's exactly the problem I'm having | 04:08 |
| Sememmon | ZykoticK9: what audio chipset do you have? | 04:08 |
| RFXCasey | Please need some quick help with install options in Ubuntu | 04:09 |
| mezquitale | phix, you might want to ask again later on, this time ask what SIP client would they recommend, if someone has ever used a SIP client they will surely reply | 04:09 |
| ZykoticK9 | Sememmon, 00:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA) -- but reading posts it seems like it's not chipset specific | 04:09 |
| Sememmon | ZykoticK9: Intel HDA =] | 04:10 |

| tLoFP | one of my hdds just made a horrible noise, id like to check that all is good | 04:20 |
| Sememmon | ice weasels.. | 04:20 |
| Sememmon | RFXCasey: I'm sure people have. But I haven't. =] | 04:20 |
| RFXCasey | ok I have done it before but forgot the context | 04:21 |

| Eraldo | DaZ: will reinstalling ssh help? | 04:22 |

| kbp | does anyone know how to know the ethernet card name on ubuntu? | 04:24 |
| ZykoticK9 | kbp, eth0 | 04:25 |
| s2r | kbp: did you try ifconfig ? | 04:25 |
| tLoFP | how do i check my disks for errors | 04:25 |
| Ahadiel | kbp, try "lspci" | 04:25 |
| kbp | ok thank you guys, lspci does the trick. ifconfig doesn't show name and eth0 is not a valid command :) | 04:26 |
| mezquitale | tLoFP, use fsck | 04:26 |
| ZykoticK9 | KB1JWQ, sorry "lspci | grep -i net" ususally does the trick | 04:27 |
| ZykoticK9 | kbp, ^ | 04:27 |
| kbp | ZykoticK9: got it ^^ | 04:27 |
| s2r | does anybody know if from ubuntu I cant set ntfs ACL permission? | 04:27 |
| tLoFP | mezquitale: how do I see a list of all my disks? | 04:28 |
| ZykoticK9 | tLoFP, "sudo fdisk -l" | 04:29 |
| tLoFP | whats the fdisk command for? | 04:29 |
| === SpacePigeon is now known as TheBoggey | ||
| ZykoticK9 | tLoFP, usually fdisk partitions disk but with the "-l" it just lists the drives | 04:29 |
| declan2 | Hey guys, I followed the directions here, http://wiki.lxde.org/en/Ubuntu, installed it, but it doesn't show up in "sessions", even after a reboot | 04:31 |
| RFXCasey | How do I add the irqpoll option to the kernal options during install, meaning do I have to move the -- to the end of the line? Is all I need to enter irqpoll and then --? | 04:32 |
| kepp1o | I'm trying to boot from USB stick and I get stuck with a blinking cursor :( | 04:32 |
| mezquitale | sudo touch /forcefsck --- and then reboot, it could take a long time, you can also run fsck while your machine is on but you have to unmount your partition first, you can use ubuntu groups if you want to check a hard drive while youre using ubuntu, you could also use a live CD | 04:32 |
| tLoFP | mezquitale: will that check ALL disks? | 04:33 |
| Eraldo | DaZ: if I set the port back to 22 it does work again... but with my altered port I get the error | 04:35 |
| declan2 | Anyone? | 04:35 |
| Eraldo | DaZ: somehow ssh won't let me connect to localhost on any other port then 22 | 04:35 |
| winchendonspring | has anyone edited partitions from the live cd before? | 04:36 |
| Firefishe | I just upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10 using the synaptic upgrade tool. The upgrade got stuck in the middle, so I used a combination of upgrade and dist-upgrade on the command line to finish the job. My system appears stable at the moment, but my sources.list file is a mess. What can I do to correct this? | 04:38 |
| daBomb69 | How do I open terminal via the keyboard? | 04:39 |
| ZykoticK9 | Firefishe, what is the output of "uname -r"? | 04:39 |
| ardchoille | Firefishe: if your sources.list file is a mess, meaning that it may have sources for two different ubuntu versions, then you may have a mixed system since you finished the job via cli | 04:40 |
| ZykoticK9 | daBomb69, Alt+F2 then gnome-terminal | 04:40 |
| daBomb69 | Ok, thanks! | 04:40 |
| === zz_b0w is now known as kiwifunk | ||
| Firefishe | ardchoille: Is there a way to correct that problem? | 04:40 |
| ardchoille | Firefishe: can you pastebin your sources.list file? | 04:41 |
| ardchoille | !paste | 04:41 |

| Firefishe | ardchoille: Yeah, I can pastebin it for you, np. | 04:41 |
| mezquitale | winchendonspring, yes, use a live CD with gparted, back up all your data just in case although ive never had any issues. I've hosed partitions by mistake and was actually ever to recover data | 04:41 |
| duryodhan | hi .. I want to install the package at Firefishe https://launchpad.net/~frank-dekervel/+archive/ppa. But I can't. problem (to me) seems to be the backports module is for 2.6.31-11 , whereas I am running 2.6.31-14. Do you know how I can install the -11 version ? apt-get doesn't work | 04:41 |

| JRWR | I have a odd one, I have a mass of user folders, and i wish to pull certien folders from there user folders, and all their stuff gets overlayed to a root folder, so as a example, /home/bob/work, memos, other, <then> /home/jen/work, memos, other, | then put those 3 folders into /storage/work, memos, other, (the commas are sperate folders), how would i do this | 04:46 |
| ardchoille | Firefishe: see line 48 in that paste? Comment that line and do: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 04:46 |
| webbb82 | what am i dong wrong i am tryin to format and make a partition for my external hard drive but when i goto apply the changes it sayd error devise damaged or undetected | 04:47 |

| BlueParrot | I'm getting desperate here, tried poking HAL, xinput and even reconfigured xserver-xorg , but no matter hwat I try Ubuntu seems to have ( last night ) decided to use my 3rd mouse button as a double click of the first. It basically makes one of my mouse buttons unusable so I now have no middle click. :-( | 04:47 |
| webbb82 | this is what i get DBus error org.gtk.Private.RemoteVolumeMonitor.NotFound: The given volume was not found | 04:48 |
| ardchoille | Firefishe: I would also comment the "proposed" and "backports" lines too, unless you know exactly what they mean | 04:48 |
| Firefishe | ardchoille: I've usually kept the backports and proposed lines uncommented. | 04:49 |
| Firefishe | ardchoille: However, for now, to stabilize the system, shall I comment them for the time being? | 04:49 |
| ardchoille | Firefishe: do you know what porposed and backports mean? | 04:49 |
| ardchoille | Firefishe: I would | 04:49 |
| BlueParrot | I can't see my mouse listed in "xinput list" either , however it works just fine ( except I have no middle click ) | 04:49 |
| Firefishe | I've needed some functionality, and--by reading various online manuals of particular software--needed to uncomment both. However, with this Franken-System I have right now, who knows? *sigh* | 04:50 |
| ardchoille | Firefishe: the backports contain packages that aren't as tested as the main release stuff, and the proposed is even less so | 04:51 |
| LabRaTz | Does anyone know how to (or if I even can) control which screen Karmic's gdm uses to display the login prompt on? I have a dual-monitor system, and my nvidia-settings work fine in gnome, but not before login. | 04:55 |

| kbp | LabRaTz: that's my problem. running Core 2 Duo on 32bit and just shows 2 instead of 4. While Dual Core on 64bits shows 4. | 04:58 |
| TheBoggey | winchendonspring, hibernate | 04:59 |
| LabRaTz | kbp: hmmm... not sure how to help with that one... | 04:59 |
| winchendonspring | theboggey, I resized the swap partition from a live cd and now the system is strange | 05:00 |
| TheBoggey | winchendonspring, how strange ? | 05:00 |

| Taim | winchendonspring: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq | 05:01 |
| winchendonspring | TheBoggey: I may have. I can get into the not current kernel from the grub menu but not the newest | 05:02 |
| TheBoggey | winchendonspring, well, I believe thats the problem... You really should be careful with this things.. are your files in home still alive? | 05:03 |
| winchendonspring | Taim: I read that faq and it didn't pinpoint my errors | 05:03 |
| TheBoggey | if so, I would recommend you to either spend more time here to see if somebody knows about your problem better than I do, or just reinstall ubuntu | 05:03 |
| TheBoggey | if you shrunk the root partition you may have caused some critical damage to it.. may | 05:04 |

| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about evolution-mail | 05:21 |
| ritesh | LabRaTz, , okay well i usually have a habbit of creating a backup , as i have chunks of code ...if they are lost i am doomed.. | 05:22 |
| ardchoille | Firefishe: I think the system is fine now. But don't hesitate to ask if you have doubts | 05:22 |
| Firefishe | RFXCasey: Here's your test line :-) | 05:22 |
| _ged | hi, why is that when im trying to run the gedit on terminal, i got an error "gtk warning: cannot open display" | 05:22 |
| leaf-sheep | _ged: Because you're sshing in or something? | 05:22 |
| RFXCasey | one more time please | 05:23 |
| Scunizi | ritesh: code doesn't take a lot of space.. have it sync with one.ubuntu.com .. 2 gigs free and syncing is built into the latest ubuntu release.. | 05:23 |
| bbq^ | Hey anyone know how to fix this little settings problem in evolution... Basically i have 5 websites each with some emails and i wish to use evolution for mail, the problem being that all the mail is being dumped into the same folder rather than showing each individual email with its inbox/outbox/etc.. | 05:23 |
| Firefishe | ardchoille: Thanks. I'm going to go slower next time. Or perhaps save my home directory, then just do a new install and use ext4 next time. I dunno :P ;) | 05:23 |
| LabRaTz | ritesh: meh, always a good habit no matter what. You get used to Linux, and the great thing is there's almost always a text file to edit and someone who can tell you how if it all hits the fan. | 05:23 |
| RFXCasey | my name please one more time | 05:23 |
| TheBoggey | RFXCasey, | 05:23 |
| Firefishe | RFXCasey: Yet another test. | 05:23 |
| leaf-sheep | RFXCasey: That's what she said. | 05:23 |
| RFXCasey | ah it don't work oh well | 05:23 |
| TheBoggey | hahaha | 05:24 |
| ardchoille | RFXCasey: Can you do this testing in another channel please? This is an Ubuntu support chanel. | 05:24 |
| _ged | leaf-sheep: i'm just trying to execute a plain "sudo gedit" ... but i still got this error | 05:24 |
| ardchoille | !gksudo | _ged | 05:24 |
| ubottu | _ged: 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) | 05:24 |
| leaf-sheep | _ged: That's common. It's a good way to debug. | 05:24 |
| Firefishe | ardchoille: I know this might be extreme, but what would happen if I delete my current sources.list (save it to a new file, but delete it otherwise), then use the repository tool to select a new mirror? What would that do? | 05:25 |
| _ged | thanks. | 05:25 |
| TheBoggey | ritesh, i recommend /home/<user>/Workspace/ the dirs Builds (stuff that you just build) Collaboration (Open projects) and Projects (own stuff) | 05:25 |
| ardchoille | Firefishe: No idea, I don't mess with the sources.list file after installing | 05:25 |
| Firefishe | ardchoille: No probs. Anyone? | 05:25 |
| Scunizi | Firefishe: I won't know where to look.. | 05:26 |
| Scunizi | *It | 05:26 |
| _ged | ardchoille: gksudo produces that same error... :) | 05:27 |
| ardchoille | _ged: but you're now doing things the right way ;) | 05:27 |
| leaf-sheep | _ged: ALT+F2 and "gedit" --- No error! | 05:27 |
| leaf-sheep | _ged: And what error exactly? | 05:28 |

| _ged | ardchoille: there's no return... its just blank.. | 05:35 |

| LabRaTz | Delvien: That's what I was afraid of... | 05:36 |
| ghufran | i have shared songs on one pc and using the smb:// links doesnt really perform well .. | 05:36 |
| _ged | leaf-sheep: ahm, because im trying to edit a file that has a permission... i think, its much easier to edit it through gedit on the terminal than to edit the permission first... | 05:36 |
| ardchoille | _ged: run this: export DISPLAY=:0. | 05:38 |
| wolfsong | _ged: you can make a launcher with the command gksudo "gnome-open %u" and drag the file to it | 05:38 |
| ardchoille | _ged: Then see if the error persists | 05:38 |

| thevor | Hi. I am having trouble connecting to an external hard drive that is connected to a wireless router. My room mates have no problem connecting to it, and I can see it in "places->Network", but when I double click, I can't see any of the files that are stored on it, or write to it at all. But the thing is, when I plug the external hard drive into my machine via usb, I can read and write without any problems. I am using ubuntu 9.10, and i | 05:39 |

| xiaoshen | but now i want remote linux pc from win pc via internet | 05:40 |
| xiaoshen | howto do that? | 05:40 |
| linucks | thevor, can you connect to the drive with smb://hostname or smb://ipaddress in your file manager? (assuming you are using gnome) | 05:40 |
| bbq^ | thanks | 05:41 |
| bazhang | xiaoshen, you want help with windows? how to remote from windows? | 05:41 |
| thevor | @linucks When I connect in places->network, the file name is smb://base-station-1.local/ (base-station-1 is the name of the device), but I'm not sure how to determine the ip address. | 05:41 |
| linucks | thevor, to find out the ip address open a terminal and type 'nnblookup base-station-1' | 05:42 |
| TheBoggey | linucks, i don't think thats installed by default | 05:43 |
| thevor | @linucks nnblookup isn't a command for me. | 05:43 |
| thevor | nmblookup worked. | 05:43 |
| xiaoshen | bazhang, yeah i wanna remote linux pc from win pc via internet | 05:44 |
| linucks | thevor, yeah sorry it's nmblookup, I typed that wrong. | 05:44 |
| thevor | Ok cool. | 05:44 |
| linucks | did you get the IP? | 05:44 |
| thevor | Gave me two different ips. | 05:44 |
| bazhang | xiaoshen, this sounds like a question for ##windows | 05:44 |
| linucks | thevor, try smb://ip in your file manager first, with both of the ips, se we can determine if lookuping up the netbios name is the problem or not | 05:45 |
| linucks | so* | 05:45 |
| xiaoshen | oh | 05:45 |
| xiaoshen | sorry ^^" | 05:45 |
| thevor | Ihmm..where is file manager | 05:46 |
| IdleOne | Places>Computer | 05:46 |
| IdleOne | aka Nautilus | 05:46 |
| linucks | thevor, open your home folder | 05:47 |
| thevor | Both ips took me nowhere. | 05:47 |
| thevor | 0 files | 05:47 |
| thevor | (items) | 05:47 |
| linucks | thevor, are you on the same workgroup as the windows share? | 05:48 |
| thevor | I'm not sure. I think it is a mac share though. I moved in here, both the current residents have macs, and their dad set up the network, and it is a mac router. | 05:48 |
| thevor | Is there an easy way to determine what workgroup I am on? | 05:49 |
| linucks | thevor, yes /etc/samba/smb.conf lookfor 'workgroup = ...' | 05:49 |
| wsx_ | 有没有人阿 ？ | 05:49 |
| linucks | thevor, the first step would be to determine if you can mount the share with smbmount however, to see if it gives you a more verbose error. | 05:50 |

| Ripp_ | I have a laptop with a wireless ethernet adapter, and a usb connection, and a second machine with two usbs. I want to use the laptop as a dhcp/proxy server for the second machine | 06:32 |
| Ripp_ | is there is any way to do this? | 06:32 |
| iKernel | JPSman, well im not sure but you can definitely put a bunch of directories in ~/.bashrc for bash to search when you execute a command | 06:33 |
| denis_k | i messed around with changing my username, etc, etc. and basically alot of things are wierd now, should I completely reinstall or is there a way to fix something like this? | 06:33 |
| denis_k | weird* | 06:33 |
| Jack87-wIRC | iKernel: is it possible to have a larger virtual disk then 30gigs in wubi? | 06:33 |
| JPSman | iKernel, yeah but i'm trying to remove one. I'll keep looking here | 06:33 |
| leaf-sheep | JPSman: Try checking in /etc/bash.bashrc -- I suppose. | 06:33 |
| iKernel | Ripp_, you probably need a way to set up an ethernet connection between the two machines, either using a crossover cable or a hub/switch. | 06:34 |
| Jack87-wIRC | d3Lt40ne: have you found a way to have a larger virtual drive then 30gigs for wubi? | 06:34 |
| Adross | i've been trying to install ingres on ubuntu karmic, but gcc-3.4 has been removed. Should i add the package manually, or is there a more elegant method? | 06:34 |
| iKernel | Jack87-wIRC, i have no idea | 06:34 |
| iKernel | Ripp_, once you have that, then yes it is definitely possible. perhaps there is some device which gives you an ethernet card via USB | 06:35 |
| leaf-sheep | Jack87-wIRC: Save people's files and lives. Destroy Windows. Install Ubuntu. | 06:35 |
| Ripp_ | iKernel: I have an regular ethernet cord.. | 06:35 |
| Ripp_ | will this automatically act as a crossover? | 06:35 |
| iKernel | Ripp_ no | 06:35 |
| JPSman | leaf-sheep: Hrm, nope, not there either. Thanks for responding though :OD | 06:35 |
| Ripp_ | hrm, i see | 06:35 |
| denis_k | Jack87 dont destroy windows, ubuntu can mess up | 06:35 |
| Billiard | Ripp_: newer devices can use a patch cable as a crossover | 06:35 |
| Jack87-wIRC | leaf-sheep: lol! | 06:35 |
| Ripp_ | Patch cable = ? | 06:36 |
| denis_k | dual booting is always the safest | 06:36 |
| Ripp_ | regular ethernet cord = patch cable? | 06:36 |
| Billiard | Ripp_: yes | 06:36 |
| Ripp_ | i see | 06:36 |
| iKernel | Ripp_ plus, in my experience, using a hub is MUCH more straightforward and flexible than using a corssover cable | 06:36 |
| Ripp_ | yeah, these two machines are new | 06:36 |
| Jack87-wIRC | good call denis_k | 06:36 |
| Ripp_ | ikernel: this is only for tonight, hehe | 06:36 |
| Ripp_ | long term i'll have ethernet for both | 06:36 |
| jlogsdon | So, I just installed ubuntu and apt-get can't find any of the packages I wish to install (vim and git-core)... it appears to be in the universe repo, which i have enabled. | 06:37 |
| Ripp_ | but have to have the computer registed with the campus before that happens... | 06:37 |
| Jack87-wIRC | ubuntu like palm pre :) | 06:37 |
| iKernel | Ripp_ ah well you'll have to wait then | 06:37 |
| Ripp_ | hrm | 06:37 |
| Ripp_ | that is surprising | 06:37 |
| denis_k | im never gonna mess around with user id's in terminal ever again...... | 06:37 |
| jlogsdon | err... main not universe! | 06:37 |
| Ripp_ | there must be way to have this laptop act as a hub or whatever | 06:37 |
| Ripp_ | lemme google i guess | 06:37 |
| leaf-sheep | Ripp_: How are you online? | 06:37 |
| Ripp_ | This laptop has wireless internet access | 06:37 |
| Ripp_ | it also has a NIC | 06:37 |
| denis_k | wireless, thats a new concept | 06:37 |
| Ripp_ | the other machine has purely ethernet | 06:38 |
| iKernel | denis_k, not nessecairly true. in my opinion, the safest way to have multiple operating systems is to have a linux host running virtual machines. you need a pretty decent rig to get good performance out of the virtual machines though | 06:38 |
| leaf-sheep | Ripp_: What are you trying to accomplish? Bridging? | 06:38 |
| Ripp_ | so i'd just like to connect my cord between the two | 06:38 |
| Ripp_ | Bridging = what? | 06:38 |
| iKernel | denis_k, either a rig which has AMD-v support or Intel-VT support | 06:38 |
| denis_k | iKernel: im on a netbook, so dual booting is a must | 06:38 |
| Ripp_ | I'd like to access the internet through the wireless adapter on the laptop | 06:38 |
| Ripp_ | so i guess i need to have the laptop act as a proxy | 06:38 |
| Ripp_ | or hub | 06:38 |
| Jeruvy | !ics | 06:38 |
| ubottu | If you want to share the internet connection of your ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php | 06:38 |
| denis_k | iKernel: can you help me with a user problem? | 06:38 |
| jlogsdon | oh hay, nevermind. I just needed to refresh my repo data :| | 06:39 |
| jimbeam12 | hey all | 06:39 |
| Ripp_ | i'm just wondering if there is software i need to do this | 06:39 |
| Ripp_ | Ah | 06:39 |
| Ripp_ | Sweet | 06:39 |
| leaf-sheep | Ripp_: You want your computer to leech connection out of the laptop is what I mean... Bridge! | 06:39 |
| jimbeam12 | anyon in here have an ati graphics card | 06:39 |
| iKernel | Ripp_ I once tried to do what you're trying to do, years ago. you need to bridge the wireless adaptor and the ethernet adaptor | 06:39 |
| leaf-sheep | Ripp_: Is that what you wanted? | 06:39 |
| iKernel | denis_k, if you like, what is the problem. | 06:39 |
| Ripp_ | I think so | 06:39 |
| Jack87-wIRC | thanks guys | 06:39 |
| Billiard | !anyone | jimbeam12 | 06:39 |
| ubottu | jimbeam12: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 06:39 |
| Ripp_ | I just have never heard the term bridge before, hehe | 06:39 |
| bigfootbuilt | Firestarter is just a firewall, isn't it? | 06:39 |
| iKernel | Ripp_ go talk to n0yd, he told me how to set up bridging on a linux system back when I was trying to do it | 06:39 |
| Jeruvy | Ripp_: bridging is combining two network interfaces, not really what you want methinks. | 06:39 |
| leaf-sheep | Ripp_: I accomplished this once or twice XXX weeks ago. You want bridge-utils. Then you create a new profile in nm-applet (Network Manager). | 06:40 |
| denis_k | iKernel: i tried changing my previous username and changed it via root and now stuff got messed up, and I can't see users in system>admin>users/groups | 06:40 |
| Ripp_ | ok | 06:40 |
| iKernel | Ripp_ or for a small price I can send you a wireless adaptor which plugs into your ethernet port and provides you with a wireless connection | 06:40 |
| Ripp_ | i'll read the article ubuttu sent me, and go for there | 06:40 |
| Ripp_ | Ikernel; like i said, this is super temporary | 06:40 |
| Ripp_ | 12 hrs max | 06:40 |
| Guest9675 | bigfootbuilt: yep | 06:41 |
| iKernel | denis_k, ok well in that case, you've probably changed your username but haven't updated the permissions, so if you used to be called john but now are called jack, all your files still belong to john so you can't access them as jack | 06:41 |
| Die_Hard_Linux | X -configure :0 . xorg.conf.new : command did not work correctly | 06:41 |
| syrius | why is ubuntu slow on bootups? | 06:41 |
| iKernel | denis_k, so what you're gonna need to do is log in as root and use chown to set the permissions straight | 06:41 |
| Billiard | iKernel: but that would only happen if he changed his user id | 06:41 |
| syrius | 9.10 is slower than windows vista now | 06:41 |
| === F[hOHXXq is now known as LjL-Temp | ||
| syrius | that is sad :( | 06:42 |
| leaf-sheep | syrius: That is obviously just you. :\ | 06:42 |
| syrius | no | 06:42 |
| denis_k | iKernel: well I can still access my files from my old username from my new one, but I still can't see the list of users | 06:42 |
| syrius | many other people also you should check the bugs | 06:42 |
| iKernel | denis_k, hm not sure then, try tlaking to Billiard | 06:42 |
| denis_k | iKernel: or is that not the point | 06:42 |
| syrius | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upstart/+bug/464369 | 06:42 |
| syrius | I have lost hope in linux | 06:42 |
| bigfootbuilt | syrius...It is slower than 9.04 on bootup. I think it is because of the splash screen | 06:42 |
| syrius | I most go back to xp | 06:42 |
| * denis_k pokes billiard | 06:42 | |
| Billiard | denis_k: you can see the list of users in the gui ? | 06:43 |
| Billiard | cant* | 06:43 |
| iKernel | syrius, bottom line is, your computer is slow. A large difference between Linux and Windows is that linux distributions load up system programs during boot up, while windows loads up the bare essentials required to be able to log in and then loads everything else up once the user has logged in | 06:43 |
| bigfootbuilt | Syrius...there may be a way to skip the splash screen. Maybe that'll allow it to boot faster? I dunno | 06:43 |
| denis_k | billiard, yeah I can't see them, either on the old(name changed) account, or the new one (admin account) | 06:43 |
| bigfootbuilt | But I disagree that it is slower than XP | 06:43 |
| bigfootbuilt | Xp takes 3 or 4 times as long to boot everything | 06:43 |
| syrius | I know how to get it to remove the splash screen | 06:44 |
| Billiard | denis_k: you logged out and in after changing your name? | 06:44 |
| syrius | in grub | 06:44 |
| iKernel | syrius, this equates to higher performance in linux systems cause with windows, everything is loading up while a GUI is running, while with linux, you just have the virtual terminal and maybe a splash screen | 06:44 |
| syrius | iKernel then why is it that 9.04 only took 30 seconds? | 06:44 |
| Die_Hard_Linux | So the display doesnt work and there is just a black screen on start up of the gui the keyboard is unresponsive | 06:44 |
| denis_k | Billiard yes, I logged out/and in, restarted, and I still have the same problem | 06:44 |
| leaf-sheep | !minimal | syrius | 06:45 |
| ubottu | syrius: 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 | 06:45 |
| denis_k | billiard: it showed up at one point, but now it doesn't again, it might if I reboot again | 06:45 |
| iKernel | syrius, your crappy intel celeron processor broke while you were installing ubuntu karmic koala | 06:45 |
| leaf-sheep | syrius: Install essential packages and build your way up. | 06:45 |
| syrius | I don't use intel | 06:45 |
| syrius | I use amd | 06:45 |
| Billiard | denis_k: you can login with your new name though? | 06:45 |
| denis_k | leaf-sheep, oh god I hate building packages, thats so addicting | 06:45 |
| denis_k | billiard: yes | 06:45 |
| Die_Hard_Linux | is there a way I can fix my display without booting through the drive? | 06:46 |
| denis_k | billiard: but my wifi is completely broke now (it used to be half-broke/was choking and cutting out alot) | 06:46 |
| iKernel | syrius, i guess there are more programs which load during start up in 9.10 than 9.04, or maybe one of the programs is buggy and takes a long time to sort itself out | 06:46 |
| Billiard | denis_k: did you change any of your groups? | 06:46 |
| iKernel | syrius, for me, it doesn't take much time at all | 06:46 |
| bigfootbuilt | I like linux since it is more stable, but I do know that CPU runs hotter on AMD with Ubuntu. Not sure why, but others have said as much. I have AMD | 06:46 |
| syrius | it takes 2 mins to load :( | 06:46 |
| Billiard | denis_k: run the groups command | 06:47 |
| denis_k | Billard, yeah on the old one, i believe | 06:47 |
| syrius | why is ubuntu always giving me problems? | 06:47 |
| syrius | I have no 3d enabled also I have disabled many features that make it slow and yet it is still slow | 06:47 |
| bigfootbuilt | If it takes 2 minutes to load, it is not an Ubuntu problem. That is hardware | 06:47 |
| syrius | :( | 06:47 |
| iKernel | syrius, if you don't like ubuntu, then that is the beauty of linux: you can use whatever you want. Use a different distribution if you don't like ubuntu, for example slackware | 06:47 |
| denis_k | billiard: groups: root -- lol | 06:47 |
| syrius | how is it hardware? | 06:47 |
| iKernel | syrius, slow hardware=slow boot times | 06:48 |
| Billiard | denis_k: uou are logged in as root? | 06:48 |
| syrius | then why didn't it take long with 9.04 iKernel | 06:48 |
| denis_k | billiard: im logged in as 'denis' and its an adminstrator account | 06:48 |
| syrius | cut the crap man | 06:48 |
| Die_Hard_Linux | dpkg-reconfigure xerver-xorg, is there a simple sub for this command in the 9.04 distro? | 06:48 |
| syrius | ubuntu 9.10 sucks | 06:48 |
| Billiard | denis_k: you shouldnt be a member of the root group | 06:48 |
| bigfootbuilt | I have an old HP laptop, and it doesn't take a minute to load | 06:48 |
| syrius | I don't like slackware | 06:48 |
| syrius | too much work | 06:48 |

| Billiard | denis_k: your old accound was named root? | 06:49 |
| syrius | no way | 06:49 |
| Billiard | denis_k: what? | 06:49 |
| syrius | suse is even slower | 06:49 |

| daerid | hey what the hell | 06:53 |

| syrius | archlinux is only available for x64 as far as I know | 06:53 |
| leaf-sheep | syrius: Use !minimal and install binaries as you go.. That way, it'll be what you want -- no xplash, no usplash, etc. | 06:53 |

| syrius | I want to upgrade | 06:54 |
| syrius | that is crap | 06:54 |
| syrius | waste of time | 06:54 |
| syrius | it should upgrade with no problems | 06:54 |
| Billiard | syrius: fresh install is faster i think | 06:54 |
| bigfootbuilt | Syrius...It sounds like you have made up your mind. Not sure what else there is to say | 06:54 |
| leaf-sheep | syrius: It is not a fresh installation. When you install Ubuntu, you didn't install Ubuntu, you install a series of packages tailored up for everyday usage. Take a look. "aptitude show ubuntu-desktop" and see what packages are installed... Now think dependencies too. | 06:55 |
| syrius | yes but windows annoys me also | 06:55 |

| syrius | ubuntu should but all its money to make an all in one application for professional photographers one that can handle raw images fine and hdr... also an image viewer that can handle it and f spot to be able to edit them. once you get the artists to switch to ubuntu from mac then you will get lots of money frrom support from these guys also make it very similar to photoshop and professional tools or have an option in the program to change it more like | 06:59 |
| syrius | it. because most of them don't have the time or don't want to learn a new program to do business with clients | 06:59 |

| syrius | a program that has all the features of photoshop cs2 | 06:59 |

| KnifeySpooney | avishek: I suppose, but I hardly ever see any swap usage when I'm doing daily browsing on Firefox or editing images with GIMP. I haven't run a server before so I'm not sure if those would require more swap | 07:01 |
| Billiard | denis_k: i have no idea with the wifi prob, you shouldnt be in the root group | 07:01 |

| avishek | KnifeySpooney, Billiard, thank you for all your help. Time to start server installation! | 07:03 |
| Die_Hard_Linux | i installed on a pc using a ati driver | 07:03 |
| Billiard | denis_k: if wireless works correctly on the live cd, you could reinstall, you can delete the users without deleting their home dirs, but you can just change their groups | 07:03 |
| Die_Hard_Linux | switched pc's | 07:03 |
| amigojapan | indus: which window? system>settings>sound? | 07:03 |
| Die_Hard_Linux | and he display is black | 07:03 |

| amigojapan | indus: ok, but I have my system set to japanese... let me kae a sceenshoot | 07:04 |
| daerid | hey I got one | 07:04 |
| daerid | my synaptic locks up whenever i do a search... window grays out for like 2 minutes | 07:04 |
| denis_k | Billiard: I feel like i've already tried that by making the new user, but it didn't help with anything, I'll just reinstall - oh well atleast my windows partition will save me :) thanks for the help! | 07:05 |
| Billiard | denis_k: ok np | 07:05 |
| maco | daerid: i think thats just it being busy | 07:05 |
| maco | daerid: afaik, synaptic can only do one thing at a time anyway | 07:06 |
| daerid | it never used to do that tho.. it's always been fairly snappy | 07:06 |
| daerid | happens whenever I refresh or anything | 07:06 |
| Billiard | daerid: did you add a bunch of repos or something? | 07:06 |
| daerid | just the docky one | 07:06 |
| indus | !gmip | 07:06 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about gmip | 07:06 |
| indus | !gimp | 07:07 |
| ubottu | gimp is an advanced image manipulation application for Ubuntu. See http://www.gimp.org for tutorials and more information. | 07:07 |
| daerid | lemme kill it and see if it's a persistent thing | 07:07 |
| amigojapan | indus: http://imagebin.org/72894 | 07:08 |
| indus | amigojapan: no not that , the application sound recorder | 07:08 |
| indus | amigojapan: menu>applications>sound>sound recorder | 07:08 |
| indus | amigojapan: you using that to record sound isnt it | 07:08 |
| daerid | seems fine now | 07:09 |
| foogmaa | daerid, it might have been the hard drive that was busy | 07:09 |
| denis_k | amigojapan: did you try a backport of alsa drivers? That solved my mic problems (but mine is an internal mic/laptop) | 07:09 |
| amigojapan | indus: yes.. hold on, let me make a screenshot of that | 07:09 |
| daerid | that's probably it | 07:10 |
| amigojapan | denis_k: mine is a laptop too | 07:10 |
| foogmaa | I get blazing speed if I do one big hard drive operation at a time, otherwise it tends to thrash a lot | 07:10 |

| denis_k | amigojapan: try linux-backports-modules-alsa-karmic-generic, if you havent already. | 07:12 |
| indus | amigojapan: hmm yeah seems like no capture | 07:13 |
| denis_k | unless it's an older laptop, then it might not help | 07:13 |
| amigojapan | denis_k: thanx | 07:13 |
| indus | amigojapan: whats output of uname -a | 07:13 |
| denis_k | amigojapan: i guess* | 07:13 |

| denis_k | no problem | 07:15 |
| syrius | leaf-sheep why can you choose minimal install when you upgrade to 9.04 to 9.10? | 07:15 |
| syrius | no fresh install | 07:15 |
| syrius | install from update manager | 07:15 |
| syrius | why can't* | 07:15 |
| leaf-sheep | syrius: There always are potential issues in upgrading. Why can't you do a fresh installation? | 07:15 |
| amigojapan | indus: konnichiwa is hello :) you mean sayonara | 07:15 |
| indus | amigojapan: yeah sayo :) | 07:16 |
| * denis_k laughs | 07:16 | |
| Ben64 | how can i make karmic look awesome | 07:16 |
| indus | amigojapan: have anice day | 07:16 |
| foogmaa | ja ne | 07:16 |
| denis_k | ben64: have you tried: gnome-look.org? | 07:16 |
| leaf-sheep | Ben64: Take a screenshot and show us what you have to offer. | 07:16 |
| indus | Ben64: by doing special effects | 07:16 |
| Zorg | hey all, if i created a program (specifically a game), and it had to write user data somewhere on the hardisk, where should I have the program write the data to..? | 07:16 |
| Ben64 | indus: i don't want the performance hit of compiz | 07:16 |
| WasserDragoon | hi, on every write action of a file i get a cifsXXXX backup file on my mounted fs, how can i deactivate this? | 07:17 |
| Ben64 | denis_k: didn't know about that site | 07:17 |
| WasserDragoon | http://paste.ubuntuusers.de/raw/396927/ thats my fstab entry | 07:17 |
| Ben64 | leaf-sheep: fresh install | 07:17 |
| indus | Ben64: then use some gnome look themes | 07:17 |
| syrius | because then I have to reset all my settings leaf-sheep | 07:17 |
| syrius | that is really annoying to do | 07:17 |
| denis_k | ben64: compiz doesn't really have a performance hit, and Im using a netbook :O | 07:17 |
| Ben64 | how about the loading screen, and login screen? | 07:17 |
| leaf-sheep | syrius: You should only need to back up your /home directory and /etc directory | 07:17 |
| syrius | then restore after bootup time | 07:17 |
| So_anyway | anyone programming python? | 07:17 |
| syrius | but wouldn't that cause problems? | 07:18 |
| Ripp_ | Wow, it worked! | 07:18 |
| Ripp_ | super easy | 07:18 |
| indus | Ben64: login screen is called gdm screen , also available at gnome look | 07:18 |
| Billiard | So_anyway: could try python irc channel | 07:18 |
| WasserDragoon | Ben64: gksu -u gdm dbus-launch gnome-appearance-properties | 07:18 |
| iMatter | Trying to upgrade fresh install of jaunty to 9.10 but each time i do the upgrade from graphical the entire system ends up frozen mid-upgrade...could it be limited space on "/" ? | 07:18 |
| WasserDragoon | indus: not for karmic | 07:18 |
| syrius | leaf-sheep wouldn't miminal install cd take longer to install than rather install cd? | 07:18 |
| indus | WasserDragoon: what u mean | 07:19 |
| WasserDragoon | indus: gdm themes won't work with karmic's gdm version | 07:19 |
| verb3k | how to change menu timeout in grub2? | 07:19 |
| leaf-sheep | syrius: If you decide to go with minimal install cd, you'll be at terminal when you boot up. The rest is up to you to install what you want. gdm, pidgin, firefox-3.5, etc. | 07:19 |
| indus | WasserDragoon: aah ok got it, all the new stuff | 07:19 |
| indus | WasserDragoon: so what to do then | 07:19 |
| WasserDragoon | indus ;-) | 07:19 |
| Ben64 | hmm | 07:19 |
| Die_Hard_Linux | anyone have a work around for dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg? | 07:19 |
| WasserDragoon | indus: i posted the comment above | 07:19 |
| WasserDragoon | sorry command | 07:19 |
| Billiard | Die_Hard_Linux: what do you want to do? | 07:19 |
| WasserDragoon | Ben64, indus: gksu -u gdm dbus-launch gnome-appearance-properties | 07:20 |
| iMatter | meh ill ask in the morn | 07:20 |
| iMatter | sleepy | 07:20 |
| indus | WasserDragoon: iam on 9.04 now, does it lauch some window? | 07:20 |
| WasserDragoon | indus: on karmic gdm is a user now and you just can change background, font, icons - no themes anymore :-( | 07:20 |
| indus | WasserDragoon: i dont want to believe you | 07:20 |
| syrius | leaf-sheep I know how to use apt-get and to use terminal | 07:20 |
| ardchoille | Die_Hard_Linux: for nvidia graphics card? | 07:20 |
| FlailingWalrus | Hey there, anyone know anything about Kernels not being loaded? | 07:21 |
| syrius | leaf-sheep so minimal install is easy for me then? | 07:21 |
| indus | WasserDragoon: i think folks on gnome look will add karmic themes too | 07:21 |
| WasserDragoon | indus: wait i will search an article | 07:21 |

| syrius | leaf-sheep how do you install with apt or is their other programs? | 07:21 |
| Ben64 | WasserDragoon: so are you saying the login screen is actually logged in as "gdm"? | 07:21 |
| WasserDragoon | indus: there are no more gdm themes for karmic / for new gdm version) | 07:21 |
| Billiard | FlailingWalrus: you mean in the grub list or what? | 07:21 |
| FlailingWalrus | Yes sir | 07:21 |

| Billiard | FlailingWalrus: you isntalled the kernels via the package manager? | 07:22 |
| Optimus55 | hey i installed ubuntu without a swap partition. is there anyway to add one once i already have it installed? | 07:22 |
| FlailingWalrus | Billiard: Actually I just installed some updates and now I apparently dont have anything | 07:22 |
| leaf-sheep | syrius: You probably want gnome-core network-manager-gnome gnome-theme-ubuntu ubuntu-artwork gnome-power-manager for starters. | 07:22 |
| syrius | leaf-sheep is there a guide? | 07:22 |
| Billiard | FlailingWalrus: your grub list contains no kernels? | 07:22 |
| FlailingWalrus | Billiard: Yah whenever I try to force it to boot, or anything of that sort it tells me there are no loaded kernels | 07:23 |
| Optimus55 | is there any way to add a swap partition once ubuntu has been already installed? | 07:23 |
| leaf-sheep | syrius: Not that I know of. There probably are many guides on "minimal ubuntu" I'm looking at my .bash_history | 07:23 |
| Billiard | FlailingWalrus: can you access the system from a live cd or another os? | 07:23 |
| syrius | leaf-sheep I have 1280x768 resolution how do I get the text to be smaller last time I tried this old way I use to do it in 7.04 it didn't work any more does that still happen leaf-sheep | 07:23 |

| WasserDragoon | indus: believe it :-) http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8311854 | 07:24 |

| syrius | the text is really big and ghetto looking | 07:24 |
| leaf-sheep | syrius: You need Hardware Drivers? | 07:24 |
| syrius | no open source ones work better for my gpu | 07:24 |
| FlailingWalrus | Billiard: Also I noticed this is a common problem with nvidia cards. Anything up with that? | 07:24 |
| Billiard | FlailingWalrus: eh, i meant a linux os, cant really do much from vista | 07:24 |
| WasserDragoon | my problem: on every write action of a file i get a cifsXXXX backup file on my mounted fs, how can i deactivate this? http://paste.ubuntuusers.de/raw/396927/ thats my fstab entry | 07:25 |
| leaf-sheep | syrius: You mean to change the resolution for TTYs and whatnot? | 07:25 |
| syrius | the 3d acceleration is really slow with the proprietary drivers | 07:25 |
| Billiard | FlailingWalrus: i havent heard of this issue with nvidia cards, and i have no issues with my nvidia | 07:25 |
| syrius | how do you do that leaf-sheep ? | 07:25 |
| Jordan_U | FlailingWalrus: Do you see menu entries | 07:25 |
| FlailingWalrus | Billiard: Yah linux will not boot period. Unless Im missing something which I very well might. Im rather new at this | 07:25 |
| leaf-sheep | syrius: I'll look for it. This never worked on my laptop. I'm thinking it have to do something with having full system encryption. | 07:25 |

| Optimus55 | Billiard: i already have 4 primary partitions. can i use an extended to host my swap drive?? | 07:26 |
| sarahn | Hi everybody, anybody knows how to get a laptop's wireless system to work with ubuntu (i'm newbi at ubuntu) | 07:27 |
| Jordan_U | FlailingWalrus: First, what is the exact error that you get when you try to boot? Second, do you see a menu with entries for your kernels if you hold shift during boot? | 07:27 |
| Billiard | Optimus55: i would recomend a swap file, but you are probably able to resize your partitions and move one to an extended partition and add a swap part | 07:27 |
| Zorg_ | blah. I can't find any directory for programs to write user data in that don't require being root. | 07:27 |
| Billiard | Optimus55: swapfile would be easier and probably about the same performance | 07:27 |
| Jordan_U | sarahn: Have you tried System > Administration > Hardware Drivers? | 07:27 |

| declan2 | Hey guys, I followed the directions here, http://wiki.lxde.org/en/Ubuntu, installed it, but it doesn't show up in "sessions", even after a reboot | 07:28 |
| declan2 | Can anyone help me with that? | 07:28 |
| FlailingWalrus | Jordan_U: The exact error that occurs is when I try to boot Ubuntu it takes me to a grubs page. When I then try to get it to boot it says there are no loaded kernels. I have not tried holding shift during boot though. Should I go try that and come back here? | 07:28 |
| sarahn | jordan_u: Nope, no proprietary drivers are uses on this syste, | 07:28 |
| Billiard | Optimus55: you want me to give you a guide, or you want me to tell you how? | 07:29 |
| Optimus55 | Billiard: well link to a guide would be good enough. but i think i found one on the community forums. thanks man! | 07:29 |
| sarahn | jordan_u: it can't even find the wireless | 07:29 |

| Jordan_U | Zorg: Depends on what you are saving. Configuration files normally go in $HOME/.appname | 07:30 |
| syrius | so installing ubuntu-restricted-extras won't cause problems then leaf-sheep | 07:31 |
| syrius | well I will be install gnome | 07:31 |
| Zorg | Jordan_U: ah, would that be invisible to file browser? | 07:31 |
| leaf-sheep | syrius: Even gnome-screensaver, software-center, and gnome-power-manager, tomboy, brasero, etc isn't on my system. I have to decide if I want them. :L) | 07:31 |
| Jordan_U | Zorg: It would be hidden by default, yes ( any file that begins with "." is hidden ) | 07:32 |
| Zorg | okay, i guess that makes sense then, thanks. | 07:32 |
| Billiard | Zorg: ctrl+h will show hidden files in nautilus | 07:32 |
| Jordan_U | Zorg: np | 07:32 |
| leaf-sheep | syrius: It shouldn't. Keep in mind it'll pull in some dependencies. I personally like to install manually. Flash, etc. No need for Java, etc. | 07:32 |
| greezmunkey | Jeruvy, yes that works, but it also shows stuff that was part of the original install :( | 07:32 |

| FlailingWalrus | Jordan_U: It was all pretty well interactive. I could attempt to boot still, though thats when I get the no loaded kernels thing, I could reboot and had a variety of options when I hit tab. | 07:42 |

| FlailingWalrus | Jordan_U Actually am reading something about that now, and I never tried that one | 07:44 |

| omkar | via synaptic | 07:52 |
| WasserDragoon | Billiard: with vim i dont get these cifs files | 07:52 |
| omkar | is it possible or hve to go through the old way booting the cd n upgrading the system | 07:53 |
| Billiard | WasserDragoon: my guess is gedit makes a temporary file and deletes it right after having it open and samba thinks you deleted it while open, but thats just a guess | 07:53 |
| Jordan_U | omkar: You can only upgrade with the Ubuntu DVD or alternate CD | 07:53 |
| q0_0p | i did netstat and i found in pid that cli is running | 07:53 |

| FlailingWalrus1 | Jordan_U: My mistake... The first thing listed is not in the partition table is labeled as: Filesystem type ext2 | 08:05 |
| luckymurali | Jordan_U, shall i add it to last line of the file | 08:06 |
| Jordan_U | FlailingWalrus1: If not then the reason you are getting a shell is because grub can't see the drive with /boot ( and thus your /boot/grub/grub.cfg ) | 08:06 |
| Billiard | luckymurali: no, what command di you try to restart apache, which did not work | 08:06 |
| ActionParsnip | steppenwolf: you can use 32bit, it is a 64bit cpu but doesnt mean you have to use 64bit OS. For basic desktop use i'd say 32bit but if you like doing audio encoding and DVD creation then 64bit will definitely benefit you | 08:06 |
| Jordan_U | luckymurali: Yes | 08:06 |
| Cobalt | Hi. In Hardy, Nautilus file properties for mounted removable media offered persistent mount options. In Karmic this appears to be gone. How can I achieve the same for a drive I want to be mounted only as readonly? | 08:06 |
| Jordan_U | FlailingWalrus1: Ok, what device ( like "(hd0,1)" ) is that? | 08:06 |
| ActionParsnip | steppenwolf: also 32bit will keep you to how much ram you have now (unless you install te server kernel which has PAE built in) | 08:07 |
| Jordan_U | ActionParsnip: There is actually a desktop PAE kernel now too ( linux-image-generic-pae ) | 08:07 |
| FlailingWalrus1 | Jordan_U: No both partitions that are labeled as partitions are not the ext2 ones. The ext2 is listed above the listing as: Device loop0: Filesystem type ext2 | 08:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Jordan_U: wow cool | 08:08 |

| Fandekasp | ActionParsnip : yes you're right, but so many people write here that I supposed you perhaps didn't see my message . Sorry for the spam | 08:11 |
| steppenwolf | Ok ActionParsnip so the 64 bit would make better use of the system right? | 08:11 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | BringSallyUp. What's happening? | 08:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Fandekasp: try in an hour or so, different users etc | 08:12 |
| FlailingWalrus1 | Jordan_U: Ah no. Now something much different came up. lost+found/ then a list of commands I think | 08:12 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | steppenwolf: yes 64-bit would. | 08:12 |
| stonewash | SpaceGhostC2C: good evening | 08:12 |

| SpaceGhostC2C | stonewash: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RootSudo | 08:13 |
| Jordan_U | FlailingWalrus1: I assume that there are many files ending in .mod in that listing? | 08:13 |
| Billiard | steppenwolf: 64bit programs use a bit more ram | 08:13 |
| BringSallyUp | (I have two drives - the one i installed on, plus a second drive with windows and a ubuntu desktop on a second partition) | 08:13 |
| luckymurali | Jordan_U, thanks its working | 08:13 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | stonewash: Why are you using a root shell? Why not use sudo? It's more secure. | 08:13 |
| Jordan_U | luckymurali: np | 08:14 |
| ActionParsnip | steppenwolf: well its so basic use that the benefits would be negligable | 08:14 |
| stonewash | SpaceGhostC2C: but even this account has read only permission to /etc/groups and ... | 08:14 |
| luckymurali | shall i add 3 commands in the same line by using "," | 08:14 |
| steppenwolf | ok | 08:14 |
| stonewash | SpaceGhostC2C: /etc/group and /etc/gshadow files are cleared | 08:14 |
| FlailingWalrus1 | Jordan_U: From what I was told - no. I loaded up Ubuntu on a flashdrive then did a install within windows thing if I remember correctly. And there are no .mod files at all | 08:14 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | stonewash: Then you need to add the user to the sudoers. | 08:14 |
| ActionParsnip | stonewash: if you need root access, apply sudo to CLI commands and gksudo to X based commands | 08:14 |
| Billiard | stonewash: use sudo gain gain root privlidges | 08:14 |
| steppenwolf | thanks for your help!!} | 08:14 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | ActionParsnip: He doesn't have sudoers access | 08:14 |

| SpaceGhostC2C | stonewash: what do you mean by locked? | 08:15 |

| Jordan_U | FlailingWalrus1: grub was looking on the wrong drive for its files ( modules and grub.cfg ), It can be fixed easily enough but I'm not sure how to keep it from going back to the bad $prefix on grub upgrades | 08:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Sabir: add this to the bottom of the file: options snd-hda-intel model=3stack | 08:26 |

| FlailingWalrus1 | Jordan_U: Okay so I re-exited out put in the command. Didnt say anything so I exited and now Im back to the GNU GRUBS page | 08:26 |
| R1cochet | ActionParsnip: once i add new user should i normal boot and try that user or what? | 08:26 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | imprint: just make the bin executable | 08:26 |
| monk | imprint, binary file | 08:27 |
| Jordan_U | FlailingWalrus1: Did you try Ubuntu menu entry again? | 08:27 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | monk, did you try to download it and follow the online instructions on the site? What went wrong? | 08:27 |
| gonzoism | ardchoille: it isn't the firewall i'm wanting as much as the network address translation. I've been running commands like these for ten years. all of a sudden, it seems that iptables doesn't do anything.... i give the iptables command, get no error, and iptables --list shows no rules. | 08:27 |
| ActionParsnip | R1cochet: yes, to reboot run: sudo shutdown -r now | 08:27 |
| Sabir | ActionParsnip At the moment I am not at the computer and I can not taste what you are saying. :( | 08:27 |
| ActionParsnip | R1cochet: then log in as the new user | 08:27 |
| gonzoism | ardchoille: kind of odd.... | 08:27 |
| FlailingWalrus1 | Jordan_U: And if by that you mean selecting to use Ubuntu as my OS then yes | 08:27 |
| monk | SpaceGhostC2C, yeah, i downloaded it and extracted the files to /var/www/localhost | 08:27 |
| R1cochet | ActionParsnip: ty will try | 08:27 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | imprint, run this command replacing FILENAME with the name of the file | 08:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Sabir: well thats no use to anyone, give it a try when you can and see how you go | 08:27 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | monk what shows up? | 08:27 |
| ardchoille | gonzoism: Oh, yeah, that is odd. Do you have a router that does NAT? | 08:27 |
| kcj_1993 | why does notify-osd reserve a space for the volume notification? | 08:28 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | imprint: chmod +x FILENAME | 08:28 |

| monk | SpaceGhostC2C, but when i goto http://localhost/localhost/joomla it tunes me to download a PHTML file | 08:28 |
| kcj_1993 | is it a bug? | 08:28 |
| gonzoism | ardchoille: yes | 08:28 |
| FlailingWalrus1 | Jordan_U No file found | 08:29 |
| gonzoism | ardchoille: i've got a openwrt wireless router going at the other side of the house... | 08:29 |
| ardchoille | gonzoism: So why not just let your router do the NAT and you won't have to mess with a firewall? | 08:29 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | monk: let me look into the installation of joomla. I'm sure this isn't really a ubuntu issue, but a joomla issue. | 08:29 |
| monk | SpaceGhostC2C, plus i cannot edit the /ect/apache2/conf.d file even as root | 08:29 |
| BringSallyUp | OK, I'm gonna give this one more try. | 08:29 |
| BringSallyUp | I installed Ubuntu Server 9.10 on 1st drive and everything seemed to go fine. Problem came when the instalation finished and I rebooted - After the quick "loading" screen (where I can press F2 to enter setup), it says "GRUB loading", "error: no such partition", "grub rescue>" ... GRUB never comes up so I can't select which operting system I want to boot. All I can do is put the CD in and try to reinstall (I've done that twice). | 08:29 |
| monk | SpaceGhostC2C, cool | 08:29 |
| kcj_1993 | hello? | 08:29 |
| Jordan_U | FlailingWalrus1: Can you boot from a LiveCD or do you have a free flash drive? | 08:29 |
| ActionParsnip | BringSallyUp: boot to live cd and reinstall grub | 08:29 |
| gonzoism | ardchoille: because then I can't plug in my shiny new linux phone via usb and use the net over usb. | 08:29 |
| imprint | I have no idea what that means, I am just trying to install google earth | 08:29 |
| FlailingWalrus1 | Jordan_U: Got neither on me. Im guessing a re-install is in order? | 08:30 |
| ardchoille | gonzoism: Ah, ok | 08:30 |
| gonzoism | ardchoille: it is one device i am trying to get to work. i'm sure that i want to be doing this. | 08:30 |
| monk | imprint, apt-get install googleearth | 08:30 |
| Jordan_U | BringSallyUp: That probably means that windows installed over your linux partition | 08:30 |

| ActionParsnip | BringSallyUp: did you MD5 test the ISO you used to make the server install disk? Did it pass CD verification | 08:31 |
| gonzoism | ardchoille: checking if i really needed was good. it's just that i really do need it. | 08:32 |
| Jordan_U | FlailingWalrus1: Yes | 08:32 |

| Ben64 | SpaceGhostC2C: a room and hallway away | 08:33 |
| Ben64 | SpaceGhostC2C: but it worked fine on windows | 08:33 |
| Jordan_U | FlailingWalrus1: Are you using lvm or anything interesting in the way of partitioning out of curiosity? | 08:33 |
| ActionParsnip | greezmunkey: nice to try but not a long term solution, its better to grab a small USB stick and install to that | 08:33 |
| greezmunkey | SpaceGhostC2C, all is good, I asked a question earlier but I'll get to an answer on my own. | 08:33 |
| kcj_1993 | why does notify-osd reserve a space for the volume notification? does anyone know? is there a work-around? | 08:33 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | Ben64, Did you use ubuntu to install the drivers are you using ndiswrapper | 08:33 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | greezmunkey: are you sure? | 08:34 |
| Ben64 | SpaceGhostC2C: didn | 08:34 |
| Ben64 | 't have to do anything, "just worked" | 08:34 |
| g_ | kcj_1993, I was wondering the same thing | 08:34 |
| Ben64 | SpaceGhostC2C: worked fine on edgy eft too, btw | 08:34 |
| FlailingWalrus1 | Jordan_U: Sorry was afk for a moment. And I do not believe so. I simply clicked the option to install Ubuntu within windows when prompted | 08:34 |
| greezmunkey | ActionParsnip, I was reluctant to dump it, but you all in here kind of convinced me. All in all it took me about 3 hours to get back where I was, and I'm likin it.:) | 08:34 |
| kcj_1993 | g_ it's starting to bug me. | 08:34 |
| Jordan_U | FlailingWalrus1: Oh no, was this a wubi installation ? | 08:34 |
| gonzoism | ubuntu is so "easy" until you want to do something advanced... the way they have a lot of configuration files and the way they do networking is so...... un-intuitive... | 08:35 |
| FlailingWalrus1 | Jordan_U: Quite possibly | 08:35 |
| R1cochet | ActionParsnip: that did not work. i still get artifacts once i click on the users name in GDM | 08:35 |
| Jordan_U | FlailingWalrus1: Not bad for you but it means that this was probably caused by a really stupid bug | 08:35 |
| kcj_1993 | g_: it's starting to bug me. | 08:35 |
| Jordan_U | FlailingWalrus1: At least not any worse for you :) | 08:35 |
| ActionParsnip | R1cochet: ok so its the system , not the user | 08:35 |
| ActionParsnip | R1cochet: ok if you drop to command line log in then run: startx do you get a desktop | 08:36 |
| FlailingWalrus1 | Jordan_U: Ah... So the idea then would be to now format this edition off of my computer and install ubuntu in a non-bad way? | 08:36 |
| kcj_1993 | does anyone know? | 08:36 |
| Jordan_U | FlailingWalrus1: If you don't mind *please* file a bug about this and mark it as critical | 08:36 |
| R1cochet | ActionParsnip: yes but as soon as the panel loads i get same artifacts and the screen freezes | 08:37 |
| FlailingWalrus1 | Jordan_U: Got a link where to file it? | 08:37 |

| ActionParsnip | R1cochet: karmic (annoyingly) doesn't have one | 08:38 |
| Jordan_U | FlailingWalrus1: Wubi is supposed to be safe but if my hunch is right then an update to grub replaced the windows bootloader, which is really bad ( because it get's people to the state where like you they can't boot ubuntu AND their previously working windows install is ( temporarily ) toast as well | 08:38 |
| leaf-sheep | Example Screenshot --> http://tinyurl.com/yj8jaw3 --> You see those Emblems-On-Icons for Documents, Music, Pictures, etc. Does anybody know what package is that? | 08:39 |

| R1cochet | ActionParsnip: once i restart x what should i do from there? | 08:39 |
| FlailingWalrus1 | Jordan_U: Im gonna format the hell out of this then | 08:39 |
| Treeh | Could anyone give me an indication of how to fix this error? http://paste.ubuntu.com/327467/ | 08:39 |
| R1cochet | ActionParsnip: havent tried yet, i have to boot into winblows to get online | 08:39 |
| Jordan_U | FlailingWalrus1: Please don't if you can file a bug about it first | 08:39 |
| Jordan_U | FlailingWalrus1: It's actually easy to get back both windows and Ubuntu, but the point of Wubi is that no matter what you do in Ubuntu it shouldn't prevent Windows from working | 08:40 |
| FlailingWalrus1 | Jordan_U: Joy. Ok then so let me get this all straightened out then. Ill report it, but the whole typing in ubuntu-bugs <package> needs to be typed into the grubs thing right? | 08:40 |

| Treeh | Billiard: Ugh. Thanks anyway. | 08:48 |
| Billiard | Treeh: did you try make? | 08:48 |
| cankoy | Treeh: why not install from repo? | 08:49 |
| Treeh | Billiard: Can't. Apache modules require the special apxs tool | 08:49 |
| Treeh | cankoy: You can't, it's a third-party module. | 08:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Younas: it does open a terminal, its just a gui for settings to then run a command | 08:49 |
| Treeh | cankoy: This is the only form in existance. | 08:49 |
| Billiard | Younas: what did you try | 08:49 |
| cankoy | Treeh: is it not mod_proxy mod? | 08:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Younas: if you read the messages you can websearch for giudes | 08:49 |
| Treeh | cankoy: It isn't. I already have mod_proxy--that's an official Apache module. This is a third-party one developed externally. | 08:50 |
| Younas | well im a newbie to ubuntu so if you guys dont mind helping me out with it | 08:50 |
| R1cochet | ActionParsnip: i booted into safemode, started X and i got artifacts. tried alt-k-prntscrn, that didnt work. rebooted normally, clicked on my name in GDM got artifacts, hit alt-k-prntscrn, that restarted X, clicked on new user got artifacts again, alt-k-prntscrn didnt work | 08:50 |
| cankoy | Treeh: is it mod-proxy-html ? | 08:50 |
| Treeh | cankoy: Yes. | 08:50 |
| Treeh | cankoy: Well, mod_proxy_html. | 08:51 |
| cankoy | Treeh: sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-proxy-html | 08:51 |
| Younas | billiard i added the file and then selected the desired format and pressed enter. Then it gave me an error in the terminal. If you want i can paste the terminal message her or in a pm | 08:51 |
| Billiard | Younas: pastebin it | 08:51 |
| Younas | actionparsnip what messages? | 08:51 |
| Treeh | cankoy: I'm in SUSE :D | 08:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Younas: in the terminal which appears | 08:51 |
| cankoy | Treeh: we're all ubuntu here | 08:51 |
| ritesh | squid , I am trying to view a wesbite , using a proxy , i need to change ip address every few seconds..will it help.. | 08:51 |
| ritesh | and some problem with cache and session variables also.. | 08:52 |
| ActionParsnip | R1cochet: when you boot head to command line and run: less /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 08:52 |
| Treeh | cankoy: I know, I am usually as well...but this virtual machine is SUSE, and usually you guys are fairly versitile. | 08:52 |
| syrius | leaf-sheep that guide is for debian though in debian it works fun well haven't tried with the new grub2 but after 7.04 when I tried the old vga= again it didn't work but it worked on debian | 08:52 |
| syrius | ubuntu is not debian | 08:52 |
| syrius | ubuntu may have a debian package system | 08:52 |
| syrius | it is not the same | 08:53 |
| syrius | also it uses a different setup for config files | 08:53 |
| syrius | when you do one config for debian it doesn't mean it will work in ubuntu | 08:53 |

| Treeh | Does anyone have any experience with apxs (Apache extension tool)? | 08:54 |
| syrius | it doesn't use the same settings | 08:55 |
| ActionParsnip | R1cochet: from login screen, at the bottom you can select command line logon | 08:55 |
| syrius | if ubuntu and debian where the same there would be no point in having ubuntu | 08:55 |
| syrius | it would be like rebranding xp as ubuntu | 08:55 |
| leaf-sheep | syrius: It is not. Ubuntu is a fork from debian. What are you trying to tell me? | 08:55 |

I have three monitors and only two are working since one of them is the 6100. Does anybody have any idea on this type of problem? | 09:03 |
| indus | Optimus55: hmm dont know | 09:03 |
| rohdef | I can't load xorg, it says that the kernel module nvidia does not exist, and when running "modprobe nvidia" it confirms this by saying "FATAL: Module nvidia not found.". What do I do? | 09:03 |

| peterpants | how do i scroll up in a terminal using the keyboard | 09:05 |
| indus | ent: the nvidia settings doesnt see it ? | 09:05 |
| ent | yes, but for some reason when I go to configure the dual monitor the third one is not present | 09:06 |
| ent | only the 8600 gt monitors are | 09:06 |
| ent | but on windows xp professional it works perfectly all three. | 09:06 |
| * SpaceGhostC2C thinks indus is epic. | 09:06 | |
| ent | correct | 09:06 |
| indus | ent: ok iam not sure if 3 monitors work on ubuntu . need to ask more in here | 09:07 |
| ent | I mean it comes up in the nvidia-settings as GeForce 6100 etc, as well does the 8600 GT card but for some reason it only shows two monitors when I try to configure it | 09:07 |
| indus | ent: 2 i know works | 09:07 |
| kermit | when i close my lid on my laptop, it logs me out, killing all my applications. how do i stop that?? | 09:07 |
| ent | yes, two are currently working | 09:07 |
| indus | ent: probably need to manually add the third monitor in xorg file , | 09:07 |
| * indus asks ActionParsnip for a solution | 09:07 | |
| ent | is that difficult? | 09:07 |
| Billiard | kermit: power options perhaps, action when you close lid | 09:07 |
| indus | SpaceGhostC2C: yeah epic fail | 09:08 |
| ActionParsnip | indus: ? | 09:08 |
| kermit | Billiard: where do i set that? | 09:08 |
| indus | ActionParsnip: is 3 monitors work in ubuntu? | 09:08 |
| indus | *does | 09:08 |
| ActionParsnip | ent: if you run nvidia-settings do you see 3 monitors? | 09:08 |
| silvia | please, how to configure windows as default boot option on ubuntu 9.10 i cant find /boot/grub/menu.lst? | 09:08 |
| Billiard | kermit: power options, somwhere on the menu, not hidden, sorry not at a gui right now | 09:08 |
| ent | No sir | 09:08 |
| ent | only two | 09:08 |
| ActionParsnip | indus: not used 3 monitors in linux | 09:08 |
| ent | which would be the 8600 gt card | 09:08 |
| indus | ent: hmm so you are using the dual dvi ports on the 8600 gt? | 09:09 |
| Billiard | silvia: grub-set-default maybe | 09:09 |
| ent | yes | 09:09 |
| ActionParsnip | ent: ok you may need to use xorg.conf to make it see the other card | 09:09 |
| ent | and using the onboard video card as well to give out the input of the third monitor | 09:09 |
| silvia | lets try it bilards | 09:09 |
| indus | ActionParsnip: both cards detected, but only 2 monitors | 09:09 |
| ActionParsnip | ent: if you run: gksudo nvidia-settings | 09:09 |
| ent | yes | 09:09 |
| ActionParsnip | oic | 09:09 |
| ent | correct | 09:09 |
| silvia | thaks | 09:09 |
| ent | and when I try and 'detect displays' nothing happens just continues to show the two monitors | 09:09 |

| indus | rohdef: yeah jockey sucks, install from add/remove or synaptic | 09:11 |
| ent | just slows the pc down | 09:11 |
| silvia | yes | 09:11 |

| indus | yeah 185 | 09:13 |
| ActionParsnip | brand0con: can you glob with vlc like that? | 09:13 |
| Azeotrope | indus: i made a swap partition and encrypted it old style, with luks. then i noticed that there is a problem with it (it was telling cannot be mounted at boot). after reading a little i saw that 9.10 should encrypt swap if you use home encryption | 09:13 |
| brand0con | ActionParsnip: yep terminal does it no problem | 09:13 |
| brand0con | it should still launch with some sort of error | 09:13 |
| Billiard | silvia: its a number, you have to count them | 09:13 |
| indus | Azeotrope: hmm i thought swap is not a real partition, what possible data could go and stay in there | 09:14 |
| Slart_ | infidel2: it sees 4GB... but then some is used up for hardware mappings, graphics memory and whatnot.. so you end up with less then 4GB.. not sure if you'll end up at 3GB or 3.5 GB though | 09:14 |
| ActionParsnip | brand0con: funky, learn something every day. thanks | 09:14 |
| rohdef | indus, tried reinstalling that one before, I'll try and purge it then reinstall | 09:14 |

| Slart_ | brand0con: ahh.. Azeotrope is right.. you can't assume X to be running in a cronjob.. so use terminal stuff only.. (or do some cheap tricks like set display) | 09:21 |

| greezmunkey | Quick question here, I removed a wine install, but the filesystem analyzer still shows space allocated to it. Is this a "false positive" because I hace to manually remove that part of the filesystem? | 09:33 |

| ShapeShifter499 | hi | 09:33 |
| ActionParsnip | greezmunkey: you will still have your wine stuff in ~/.wine | 09:33 |
| Slart_ | greezmunkey: if you remove wine using apt-get it doesn't delete the ~/.wine folder | 09:33 |

| ShapeShifter499 | how do I make wine use the native or wine installed firefox instead of its built-in internet explorer? | 09:34 |

| infidel2 | i've heard that the linux kernel reserves 1gb for itself. Is that just for some new kernel version or something? i know i've ran linux on a 256mb machine before, so i'm confused | 09:35 |

| helloworlds | SpaceGhostC2C, i cant power off my pc... it hangs | 09:35 |
| greezmunkey | It actually shows "drive C", and others heh heh, yup it's .wine! | 09:35 |

| Jimi_Neutral | Hi all | 09:36 |
| gencha | i am trying to get syslog to log cron to a seperate file. i removed the # from the cron line in syslog.conf, created that file with 640 right, gave syslog.adm ownership and restarted syslog and cron and it still won't log to that file. what have i done wrong? | 09:36 |
| greezmunkey | ActionParsnip, I don't see any reason why I shouldn't be able to rm -r /home/username/.wine then... | 09:37 |
| ShapeShifter499 | ActionParsnip: I looked I can't find any fix to the web browser default | 09:37 |

How can I install pulseaudio from source and get rid of the pulseaudio package without affecting the other packages? | 10:12 |
| ActionParsnip | g0d: according to the output it isnt supported but you may find guides for it | 10:12 |

| g0d | hey my buddy said i should install kbuntu over ubuntu and showed me it should i? | 10:12 |
| Myxb | ircuser: now for the tahoma. in 1.1.33 it scales ugly. type locate tahoma and inspect the output. 'good' fonts are about 384K (355K) in size. there are 2 files. the 'bad' ones are much smaller (less than 100K). then just replace the files. | 10:12 |

| R1cochet | ActionParsnip: that wont remove xserver tho will it? | 10:13 |
| R1cochet | ActionParsnip: sudo apte-get --purge remove xserver-xorg-video-nv? | 10:14 |
| ActionParsnip | R1cochet: no, just the driver | 10:14 |
| ActionParsnip | R1cochet: sure, you can always add the install CD as a repo and install it again | 10:15 |
| R1cochet | ActionParsnip: ty much i shall try | 10:15 |
| ActionParsnip | g0d: if you like gnome, leave it, if you like kde, use it | 10:15 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | g0d: there is also xfce. I prefer LXDE when not in hnome. | 10:16 |
| iKernel | g0d kde=bloatware though | 10:16 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | g0d, Gnome* | 10:16 |
| ActionParsnip | g0d: theres also xfce, blackbox, fluxbox, lxde, flwm you can use instead of the default gnome + metacity you use but i'd just get used to the OS for now | 10:16 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | iKernel, It is not bloatware. It makes everything a application. | 10:17 |
| ircuser | Myxb: deleted old PPA (only one line with 'meebey' word) and then added ubuntu-wine PPA. Then "sudo apt-get update" and when I went back to synaptic the same old error. Says dependency issues with wine 1.2 | 10:17 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | iKernel, So clipboard is an application, not just pard of the system | 10:17 |
| iKernel | EVERYONE says that kde is not bloatware | 10:17 |
| iKernel | but it really is | 10:17 |
| ActionParsnip | SpaceGhostC2C: you can do that sort of thing in gnome with xclip | 10:18 |
| ActionParsnip | SpaceGhostC2C: pastebinit /etc/hosts | pastebinit | xclip | 10:18 |

| hardy_H | Hi Guys, I`ve been trying to pass on arguments to the start-stop-daemon by doing --exec /path/to/bin/name -arguments, but it won`t accept it as reckon the daemon is listening for the args, is there a way to do this :)? | 10:19 |
| ActionParsnip | if you are using x forwarding it will be pasteable on the client system too (even in windows) | 10:19 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | ActionParsnip, I know already. I have it installed. I was giving a for instance. | 10:19 |
| Myxb | ircuser: try sudo aptitude purge wine && sudo aptitude install wine1.2. btw, this 'tahoma-replacement' package is the one with corrupt tahoma font. | 10:19 |
| ActionParsnip | SpaceGhostC2C: no worries :) | 10:20 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | ActionParsnip, thanks for th info. I already have xclip installed. I was explaining that kubuntu works in modules instead of just one base. | 10:20 |
| ActionParsnip | SpaceGhostC2C: not dug into it that far, LXDE for me :) | 10:21 |
| leaf-sheep | ActionParsnip: 04:20:57 up 1 day, 8 min, 4 users, load average: 0.43, 0.41, 0.31 | 10:21 |

| SpaceGhostC2C | ActionParsnip, I tried it when I helped a friend. I hate kde. I love LXDE | 10:21 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | leaf-sheep, what do you mean? the not required restart when you install a driver for a keyboard you plug in, that is for windows? | 10:22 |
| ActionParsnip | leaf-sheep: makes life easier, could even make a script which takes an arg and auto puts the data on the clipboard with one command ;) | 10:22 |

| SpaceGhostC2C | ActionParsnip, Can't he just mount everything he wants mounted on startup and them copy /etc/mtab to /etc/fstab? I had him make a backup of /etc/fstab | 10:25 |
| indus | updatebrokeuuids: maybe a pci-ids is good | 10:25 |
| indus | updatebrokeuuids: update pci-ids | 10:25 |

| SpaceGhostC2C | ActionParsnip, I have done it succesfully many times. Hmm, odd. No worried. I'll let you handle this one. | 10:26 |
| kling0n | updatebrokeuuids: it's possible to 'e'dit the boot entry from grub... you could point it to your boot partition and then fix the rest by manually editing fstab etc | 10:27 |
| ActionParsnip | SpaceGhostC2C: can you please. i got a tonne of wesearchers going nuts | 10:27 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | ActionParsnip, sure. | 10:27 |

| ActionParsnip | limey: its in "view only mode" if it exists | 10:30 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | MenZa, For sure. | 10:30 |
| kling0n | updatebrokeuuids: when you edit the boot entry in grub you have line containing something like "root=UUID=df65g4d56fg4d564fg654dgd5fg4df64" you can edit that to say, for example, "root=/dev/hda2" | 10:30 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | limey, you have to turn off view only in the host, and I suggest put a password on the host. | 10:30 |
| limey | ActionParsnip, i have a seperate password for view, and another for control. | 10:31 |

| bazhang | mostafa, check the appdb , help on wine apps in #winehq | 10:32 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | g0d to enable mp3 playback you need to follow this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats | 10:32 |

| chaitu | mostafa: You can use wine I assume. I would suggest you to use openoffice :) | 10:32 |
| g0d | thank u | 10:32 |
| g0d | but the cmd to apt get wine? | 10:32 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | g0d: sudo apt-get install wine | 10:32 |

| chaitu | forkcap: Does Karmic not come with mp3 codecs and required packages? I dont remember installing anything after a clean install | 10:33 |
| ActionParsnip | R1cochet: nice, now you just need to get drivers. I can personally recommend the 190 driver | 10:33 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | mostafa, listen to indus he's a god of epicness. | 10:33 |
| ActionParsnip | R1cochet: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/install-nvidia-graphics-drivers-190-42-in-ubuntu-karmicjauntyintrepidhardy.html | 10:33 |
| MenZa | chaitu: It doesn't, but it's as simple as clicking a button if you attempt to play something that's not supported. | 10:33 |
| g0d | ok mp3 codecs installing thanks but when i try to sudo aptget wine it says this E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) | 10:33 |
| g0d | E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? | 10:33 |
| forkcap | chaitu: not sure about Karmic but jaunty etc. were great about automatically installing when needed, so you might just not have noticed installing the package | 10:33 |
| R1cochet | ActionParsnip: i was just gonna mention that. for some reason hardware manager doesnt list any drivers for my video card | 10:34 |

| Pirate_Hunter | MenZa: hmmm I guess still would be nice to know what is new oh well | 10:38 |
| greezmunkey | limey, what about the ethernet link? Do you know that is running ok. Sounds to me that there may be something going on there. | 10:38 |
| chu_ | indus, I'm not sure your question entirely, but emacs + auctex? LaTeX is pretty nice, there's also Gummi if you want a Live update of your pdf as you type, but I found it a little annoying.. | 10:38 |

| ActionParsnip | indus: seems so $34 USD | 10:39 |
| forkcap | dinosaurvskitten, consider asking your question in ##linux | 10:39 |
| greezmunkey | limey, can you run wireshark, or tcpdump and then send some files across to check for errors? | 10:39 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | indus: I actually read about preloading it on startup. It doesn't hurt my 8gigs of ram. | 10:39 |
| limey | greezmunkey, the speed is fine, as i can drag and drop movies/mp3's to desktop, and they are quick. | 10:39 |
| ActionParsnip | R1cochet: 185 is the stable, 190 is experimental but ive never had an issue with it | 10:39 |
| updatebrokeuuids | ActionParsnip: any other ideas how to access my / partition ? | 10:39 |
| dinosaurvskitten | forkcap, already done | 10:39 |
| rocky|raccoon | hello :> i uploaded a file in ubuntu one's web interface and it's showing up there, but it's not showing up in my local "ubuntu one" folder and the update applet says that my files are up to date... :/ is there something i'm missing? | 10:39 |
| limey | greezmunkey, i can try | 10:39 |
| ActionParsnip | updatebrokeuuids: not sure, tried an fsck in live CD? | 10:39 |
| kling0n | updatebrokeuuids: when you edit the boot entry in grub you have line containing something like "root=UUID=df65g4d56fg4d564fg654dgd5fg4df64" you can edit that to say, for example, "root=/dev/hda2" | 10:39 |
| R1cochet | ActionParsnip: how can i go about getting it then? | 10:40 |
| MenZa | rocky|raccoon: you may have more luck in #ubuntuone | 10:40 |
| ActionParsnip | R1cochet: the guide i gave will get the 190 installed for you, there is an nvidia ppa | 10:40 |
| greezmunkey | limey, yeah, it's wierd I know, but check ifconfig and see if you see any errored frams, or the like as well. | 10:40 |
| rocky|raccoon | MenZa, I'll try there instead thanks | 10:40 |
| updatebrokeuuids | there is no way i can access my / partition - not to see its uuid , its just not present | 10:40 |
| MenZa | rocky|raccoon: np | 10:41 |
| greezmunkey | limey, I work in telecom, voip and the such, a lot of issues with this sort of think can be traced back to the wire. | 10:41 |
| greezmunkey | s/think/thing | 10:41 |
| MenZa | rocky|raccoon: U1 is all very new to all of us, and I doubt a lot of us have read up on the tech bits of it | 10:41 |
| kling0n | updatebrokeuuids: check with parted whether you accidentally wiped your partition table | 10:41 |
| limey | greezmunkey, it is wireless | 10:42 |
| ircuser | Myxb: Hey thanks. wine 1.1.33 installed swiftly but feeddemon is not working.."FeedDemon" was unable to load the newspaper style "Surfer".... anyway i will try to solve it....thanks a lot | 10:42 |
| R1cochet | ActionParsnip: im sorry but i dont see a guide that u gave | 10:42 |
| rocky|raccoon | MenZa, Very true, I still haven't really read much about it to even see how it works really, I just gave it a try anyway :> At least it wasn't for something too important | 10:42 |
| Bella | hi | 10:42 |
| greezmunkey | limey, ok, check iwconfig see if there are a lot of over runs. | 10:42 |
| updatebrokeuuids | kling0n: i checked, everything IS there and i can access the data from live cd - just cant do that after todays kernel update | 10:42 |
| * indus offers some tea to the helpers here | 10:42 | |
| MenZa | rocky|raccoon: If you still can't find a solution, I suggest you file a bug on Launchpad. | 10:42 |
| * MenZa puts over a put of coffee for the ones who prefer a slightly darker brew. | 10:43 | |

| greezmunkey | limey, it's an error counter in iwconfig | 10:43 |
| ActionParsnip | R1cochet: when you install it make sure you see the DKMS stage complete | 10:44 |
| limey | greezmunkey, is there a switch i use for iwconfig? | 10:44 |
| bazhang | xuchunxiao, /join #ubuntu-cn | 10:44 |

| greezmunkey | oops... | 10:44 |

| bazhang | SpaceGhostC2C, that is Chinese | 10:45 |
| limey | greezmunkey, there are none | 10:45 |
| Myxb | ircuser: i understand the freeddemon is an rss aggregator? try using a linux analog, there are plenty. i use liferea, just as an example. | 10:45 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | bahzang: I wasn't sure exactly. I have a japanese friend who taught me a bit. A lot of japanese is the same in chinese. | 10:46 |
| greezmunkey | limey, that's good. So the only issue you have is playing files that reside across your network? | 10:46 |
| bazhang | besides, he had already quit | 10:46 |
| Pirate_Hunter | are there any known issues to installing jaunty with the alternate CD instead of the desktop version? | 10:46 |
| iceroot | Pirate_Hunter: no | 10:46 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | Pirate_Hunter, not that I know of. | 10:47 |
| indus | MenZa: we are not too behind in coffee either :D | 10:47 |
| limey | greezmunkey, yes, and also rdesktop and tsclient not updating screens | 10:47 |
| bazhang | Pirate_Hunter, none that I am aware of, you can check launchpad for bugs if you wish ; keep in mind it is install only and text version | 10:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Pirate_Hunter: its just a simpler installer so gets you going faster as youu dont have to boot an x server from the CD. It can also be used to upgrade from | 10:48 |
| greezmunkey | limey, oh, I ran across that...turn off some of the effects like the remote's background, etc. That should clean things up a lot. | 10:48 |

| updatebrokeuuids | kling0n: there is no menu.lst for grub2 i think :P | 10:49 |
| Pirate_Hunter | ActionParsnip: how can it be handy for troubleshooting aren't both the versions the same? | 10:49 |

Failed and totally messed up my packages. :( 1) SOS! Help me get out of this. 2) Help me get a correct GD library please. | 10:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Pirate_Hunter: they install the same OS, one installs in a graphical environment, one installs in a text environment and allows you to add some extra settings about the install (as far as I've noticed) | 10:50 |
| iKernel | I just compiled and installed (I made sure to do a make uninstall first to get rid of previous pulseaudio stuff), I start pulseaudio, but when I try to open System->Prefrences->Sound it just sits on "Waiting for sound server to respond" with a cancel button.

| steff_ | hi all | 10:51 |
| iKernel | SpaceGhostC2C, after a period of inactivity, the monitor will go blank | 10:51 |

| iKernel | SpaceGhostC2C, i think the bot has put me on ignore | 11:10 |
| jargal | warcraft garena client | 11:10 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | iKernel probably. | 11:10 |
| Ergo^ | ActionParsnip, SpaceGhostC2C i got my system to boot by manually editing boot option and changing UUID root to /dev/sda3 (in my case) | 11:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Ergo^: its very weird but glad you got a boot :) | 11:11 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | jargal what errors do you get? | 11:11 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | ergo^: cool? | 11:11 |
| Ergo^ | not really cool | 11:11 |
| ActionParsnip | limey: unfortunately its not supported here | 11:11 |
| Ergo^ | because UUID is still not present | 11:11 |
| jargal | wine is installed after run error | 11:11 |
| Ergo^ | means i have to change that every time i boot | 11:11 |
| limey | greezmunkey, mint machine has same problem with remote desktop, so i think that is a config problem on host machine | 11:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Ergo^: does sudo blkid output an ID for the partition now? | 11:11 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | Ergo^, you don't need to do that. | 11:11 |
| jargal | wine is installed after run error | 11:11 |
| limey | greezmunkey, it is the ubuntu machine that doesnt work | 11:11 |
| tado | drellok: there is no errror message. it just won't show the checkbox at the beginning of the session | 11:11 |
| Ergo^ | ActionParsnip: yes it does | 11:12 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | jargal, this is really a wine thing. Ask in wine's irc. | 11:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Ergo^: is it by any chance what it was before | 11:12 |
| Ergo^ | ActionParsnip: yes it the same thing | 11:12 |
| Ergo^ | ActionParsnip: just doesnt exist in /dev/disk/by-uuid | 11:12 |
| ActionParsnip | jargal: uninstall wine and rename ~/.wine then reinstall wine | 11:12 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | Ergo^, you can edit your grub to always point there. | 11:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Ergo^: i'd submit a bug | 11:12 |
| Younder | wine has it's limits | 11:12 |
| limey | greezmunkey, i was using the mint as a comparison. it is not a network issue per se. it is a problem local to the ubuntu machine. | 11:12 |
| jargal | ok | 11:13 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | ActionParsnip, he is trying to install some warcraft something or toher software | 11:13 |
| Younder | you cant just run ANY windws app | 11:13 |
| g0d | hey i installed ventrilo and wine but how do i run it now from wine?? | 11:13 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | limey, what exactly are you asking help for? name a qurstion | 11:13 |
| ActionParsnip | SpaceGhostC2C: i see | 11:13 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | g0d, you can do wine /path/to/ventrilo | 11:13 |
| Ergo^ | ActionParsnip: yeah its def a bug... never happened to me before in 2 years | 11:13 |
| g0d | path to | 11:13 |
| ActionParsnip | jargal: i suggest you check the appdb for wine. not all apps run and some won't even install | 11:13 |
| g0d | it ws C:/windws | 11:13 |
| ActionParsnip | !appdb | jargal | 11:14 |
| ubottu | jargal: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help | 11:14 |
| drellok | tado, see the second paragraph here http://kb.mozillazine.org/Password_not_remembered_(Thunderbird) | 11:14 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | g0d, the put that as path. | 11:14 |
| Younder | and msie version is limited to the browser not all the suport tools like flash | 11:14 |
| jargal | thx | 11:14 |
| limey | greezmunkey, when i try to play files from network shares, both mplayer and vlc are closing out without playing. i can browse the shares, and drag and drop them. | 11:14 |
| ActionParsnip | g0d: you may find it in your applications menu under wine | 11:14 |
| g0d | but i have no folder naemd path | 11:14 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | Ergo^, the chances that you've discovered a but is very low, someone else may have already found it. Google around as to the cause of this and see if you can solve for it. | 11:14 |
| g0d | i got it there ubt it instaled but i cant find how to run it | 11:14 |
| ron___ | coucou | 11:14 |
| g0d | tmp got it | 11:15 |
| g0d | nvm | 11:15 |
| g0d | thank u | 11:15 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | g0d: buddy, where is ventrilo installed? | 11:15 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | g0d, good. | 11:15 |
| tado | drellok: i have tried that, but it still doesn't show the checkbox | 11:15 |
| kling0n | limey: have you got mplayer installed? you could try running mplayer from commandline and see what it says | 11:15 |
| ActionParsnip | g0d: you chose the location to install it to, the "c drive" starts at ~/.wine/drive-c | 11:15 |
| limey | greezmunkey, vlc is erroring with smaba permission denied | 11:15 |
| ActionParsnip | g0d: you can then traverse the folders from there til you reach the .exe | 11:15 |
| g0d | it connected on vent | 11:15 |
| g0d | i got it thanks | 11:15 |
| g0d | see if it wors now | 11:15 |
| Ergo^ | SpaceGhostC2C: that was introduced by todays kernel update - i can see some posts on ubuntuforums, doesnt only affect me it seems | 11:15 |
| g0d | i got mp3 working | 11:15 |
| kling0n | limey: try running vlc against the $HOME/.gvfs/ mountopint in stead | 11:15 |
| FloodBot2 | g0d: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 11:15 |
| greezmunkey | limey, could be that these programs *need* to have the files on the local hard drive. | 11:16 |
| ActionParsnip | g0d: ease up on the enter key dude, seriously | 11:16 |
| dijmen | where do I find ubuntu-advanced support? | 11:16 |
| ActionParsnip | g0d: you can write quite lengthy lines and no one will mind but when you start hammering enter it scrolls the channel like crazy | 11:16 |
| ActionParsnip | dijmen: define "advanced"? | 11:16 |
| limey | greezmunkey, vlc is fine on a mint and an xp laptop iwth same shares | 11:16 |
| greezmunkey | limey, can you fireup tcpdump, then run your program until it fails, then pastebin the results? | 11:16 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | Ergo^, then you have a one-up to the original bug reporters, you can read what they did to solve the problem. | 11:17 |
| limey | greezmunkey, if you help me i can | 11:17 |
| drellok | tado, did the parameter change back to false when you started thunderbird? | 11:17 |
| konza | my freind is not getting anyting what i am typing in pidgin...........pls help | 11:17 |
| ActionParsnip | konza: sudo apt-get install pidgin | 11:17 |
| tado | drellok: nope. it remains on true | 11:17 |
| greezmunkey | limey, I'll look at the results, let's work on it until we find a solution :) | 11:17 |
| dansan | kling0n: ahh, my projects are all working again, although the kdevelop-data for the newer version is apparently missing some text strings & such, it's still working, thanks again | 11:17 |
| dijmen | ActionParsnip: sorry | 11:17 |
| limey | greezmunkey, ok, what do i do first? | 11:18 |
| kling0n | dansan: very welcome | 11:18 |
| tado | drellok: i'm editing it from the edit config under edit->preferences | 11:18 |
| ActionParsnip | dijmen: its ok | 11:18 |
| greezmunkey | limey, what is the name of your wireless interface? | 11:18 |
| dansan | kling0n: oh, they have a kdevelop-data .deb package for that version too | 11:18 |
| limey | wlan0 | 11:19 |
| dijmen | #ubuntu-advanced has no participants | 11:19 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | dijmen: if you need "Advanced" help, kidnap a ubuntu-dev. | 11:19 |
| dijmen | except for me | 11:19 |
| limey | greezmunkey, wlan0 | 11:19 |
| ActionParsnip | dijmen: yes, this is the official support channel | 11:19 |
| greezmunkey | limey, in a terminal, type in sudo tcpdump -i wlan0 | 11:19 |
| roronoa | dijimen what is that channel about? | 11:19 |
| ActionParsnip | dijmen: if you have any support questions for ubuntu, this is the channel to ask in | 11:19 |
| greezmunkey | limey, then run your vlc until it fails, then stop tcpdump (ctrl+c), pastebin the result | 11:19 |
| Younder | roronoa, It's a ubuntu help channel | 11:20 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | dijmen: if you need "Advanced" help, kidnap a ubuntu-dev. There isn't any On-call support crew. Well, not like windows has. | 11:20 |
| drellok | tado, can you paste your prefs.js file to pastebin? | 11:20 |
| dijmen | ActionParsnip: are vga/gfxpayload supposed to not work under vbox? | 11:20 |
| Younder | roronoa, you got a problem.. someone will try to help | 11:20 |
| roronoa | younder ok | 11:20 |
| dijmen | SpaceGhostC2C: thank you | 11:20 |
| ActionParsnip | dijmen: i'd ask in #vbox | 11:20 |
| kling0n | dijmen: http://www.ubuntu.com/support/services | 11:20 |
| ActionParsnip | dijmen: you can install the vbox guest additions to driver the thing up | 11:21 |
| Ignatius | does anyone know of any tools I could use to scan a harddrive for bad sectors etc? | 11:21 |
| roronoa | Younder : that channel has no participants | 11:21 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | dijmen: now that we have that cleared up, what do you need help with? | 11:21 |
| ActionParsnip | Ignatius: chkdsk | 11:21 |
| ActionParsnip | Ignatius: or fsck | 11:21 |
| greezmunkey | Ignatius, chkdsk | 11:21 |
| Younder | roronoa, this one does | 11:21 |
| greezmunkey | oops | 11:21 |
| roronoa | Younder : i know | 11:21 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | ActionParsnip, isn't there some windows version of fsck that has a linux port? I know it's redundant. | 11:21 |
| bb009 | hey ^^ | 11:21 |
| Peter1 | Hello, my ubuntu stopped working after I was messing around with commands to kill X and start my own naked X with only 1 program in it..... Now at startup it freezes me in a terminal and asks for a login.. I can't login though since the window is blinking like crazy and will only take 50% of my input | 11:22 |
| ActionParsnip | SpaceGhostC2C: not sure, yo can use bartPE to run chkdsk on ntfs though :) | 11:22 |
| bb009 | i have xubuntu last version and i cant get the flash player... | 11:22 |
| Younder | Peter1, oops | 11:22 |
| dijmen | SpaceGhostC2C: are vga/gfxpayload supposed to not work under vbox? | 11:22 |
| bb009 | nothing works... | 11:22 |
| kling0n | Peter1: have you restarted? | 11:22 |
| bb009 | :/ | 11:22 |
| dijmen | SpaceGhostC2C: this was my question | 11:22 |
| greezmunkey | Peter1, sounds like you trashed your xorg.conf file | 11:22 |
| Peter1 | Yeah i have restarted | 11:22 |
| limey | greezmunkey, ok, posted | 11:22 |

| kling0n | Peter1: from terminal sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop && sudo pkill -9 X | 11:22 |
| Peter1 | Can't I go in with root only terminal and edit it? | 11:22 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | ActionParsnip, or you can just nt suck at life and use windows sparingly :P | 11:22 |
| greezmunkey | limey, can I have the link? | 11:23 |
| Ignatius | ActionParsnip: is chkdsk a bash command or a bit of software? | 11:23 |
| ActionParsnip | SpaceGhostC2C: unfortunately I use it at least 8 hours a day ;) | 11:23 |
| Younder | Peter1, clearly you need to go to text mode | 11:23 |
| Peter1 | Kling0n: where do i go from there? | 11:23 |
| kling0n | Peter1: then, you undo what you did to your xorg.conf :) | 11:23 |
| bb009 | anyway hi everyone ^^ | 11:23 |
| roronoa | !crap | 11:23 |
| dijmen | roronoa: thank you :) | 11:23 |

| tado | drellok: it's the one in etc/thunderbird/profile right? it's here http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/327553/ | 11:23 |
| Peter1 | kling0n: didn't edit it on purpose :P | 11:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Ignatius: its a CLI command, see man fsck run it from a live CD as it's not advised to fsck a mounted partition | 11:24 |
| roronoa | dijmen : lol your welcome | 11:24 |
| kling0n | Peter1: do you know your way around command-line editing? | 11:24 |

| SpaceGhostC2C | ActionParsnip, whoa, I'm so sorry. Is there anything I can do to help? A massage with a linux penguin? :P | 11:24 |
| Peter1 | kling0n: a bit.. | 11:24 |
| lat | I changed network settings, now programs called from a shell script won't load. How to fix this? | 11:24 |
| ActionParsnip | bb009: if you run that command you will install flash | 11:24 |
| greezmunkey | limey, got it thanks, brb | 11:24 |
| Younder | Peter1, do you know how to set up GRUB for text mode? | 11:24 |
| ActionParsnip | SpaceGhostC2C: nar its ok, its not so bad | 11:24 |
| dijmen | roronoa: actually it would be a good idea to promote this channel. this one is way too large. it currently has 1337 members. | 11:24 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | ActionParsnip, You're a real trooper. | 11:24 |
| limey | greezmunkey, error at 234 | 11:25 |
| Peter1 | Younder: isnt that only chosing recovery mode, or am I wrong? | 11:25 |
| dijmen | roronoa: 1337 is a lot | 11:25 |
| kling0n | Peter1: sudo Xorg -configure | 11:25 |
| ActionParsnip | SpaceGhostC2C: guys gotta eat | 11:25 |
| dijmen | roronoa: and they aren't 1337 at all | 11:25 |
| roronoa | dijimen : yup it could be a good idea! | 11:25 |
| kling0n | Peter1: supposing you're in terminal right now? | 11:25 |
| dijmen | roronoa: they are sub-1337 :) | 11:25 |

| g0d | gonna eat later | 11:32 |

| roronoa | no i don want to keep it both as dual-boot | 11:32 |
| kekale | limey, have you installed it? | 11:32 |
| kling0n | sllide: sudo apt-get remove gdm kdm && sudo apt-get --reinstall install kubuntu-desktop | 11:32 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | dijmen: in short, no. Long story: no, do you have any support related questions? | 11:32 |
| gheddy_zarc | when I first loaded 9.10 I had wobbly windows now they are gone and i dont seem to be able to retrieve them by obvious means, any clues ? | 11:32 |
| drellok | tado, you can try to insert into this file user_pref("signon.rememberSignons", true); | 11:33 |
| kling0n | sllide: see if that fixes it | 11:33 |
| ActionParsnip | limey: its /etc/init.d/samba to start / restart / stop etc afaik | 11:33 |
| KrimZon | my gnome-panel has stopped responding, after i tried repositioning it and unchecking 'expand' - is there any way to restore it from a backup i made using panelswitcher? | 11:33 |
| ActionParsnip | limey: the config is storedin /etc/samba/smb.conf | 11:33 |
| lat | What could prevent a shell script from calling programs? | 11:33 |
| limey | ActionParsnip, its not there. i thought it was installed by default. i must have to install it. | 11:33 |
| KrimZon | the trouble i have is that i can't find panelswitcher in synaptic, nor can i remember its executable name | 11:33 |
| drellok | tado, and restart thunderbird | 11:33 |
| brokenice | ? | 11:33 |
| ActionParsnip | limey: oh yes its optional, needs installing | 11:33 |
| PanoZ-{Waterboy] | vv | 11:33 |
| ActionParsnip | lat: permissions maybe, or bad path or nonexistant command | 11:34 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | lat: # comments or /* :p | 11:34 |
| limey | but i have an smb.conf file at etc/samba/ | 11:34 |
| Ergo^ | ActionParsnip: who else had problems with boot like i did ? | 11:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Ergo^: not sure, i think you have a unique case afaik | 11:35 |

| ghufran | hi .. i frequently need to ssh into different servers .. and i have to type in the ip addresses and usernames .. is it possible to store the ips somewhere and use them in the ssh command? | 11:35 |
| kekale | limey, you can even prefix it with sudo to include the root user's path | 11:35 |
| tado | drellok: didn't work. but i tried to rename the .mozilla-thunderbird folder to make it create a new one. i set up an account and it shows the checkbox now | 11:36 |
| Gunnar | How do I clean up my grub bootloader? kinda weird seeing 6 types of kernels there | 11:36 |
| limey | kekale, nothing | 11:36 |
| kekale | ghufran, there are a number of ways | 11:36 |
| kling0n | ghufran: man ssh | 11:36 |
| drellok | tado, cool.. so the problem definetely was in configs | 11:36 |
| kling0n | ghufran: place relevant options in $HOME/.ssh/ | 11:36 |
| kling0n | ghufran: place relevant options in $HOME/.ssh/config even | 11:36 |
| welcome | hi! i need to change my user name and in case i change my user name, is it going to affect anyway..pl help...thnx in advance | 11:36 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | gheddy_zarc, you can do sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager | 11:37 |
| ghufran | kling0n: ok ill go read the man page .. didnt think it would be there .. | 11:37 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | welcome: please try to word your question in a clear and concise manner. | 11:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Gunnar: you need to uninstall old kernels | 11:37 |
| yanzc | join | 11:37 |
| tado | drellok: yep. but now i'm not sure i know how to import in the new one all the old files, to have mail, addons and settings as in the old one, without importing the problem | 11:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Gunnar: run: uname -a thats is the current kernel DO NOT remove this | 11:37 |
| Billiard | welcome: i dont think it will affect much, you may want to move your home directory too | 11:38 |
| syrius | leaf-sheep you there? | 11:38 |
| Gunnar | ActionParsnip: Cool, how do i remove the other oens then | 11:38 |
| kling0n | ghufran: there are a lot of options... if you just want a solution for hostnames, you could look at /ets/hosts or setting up a personal dns server | 11:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Gunnar: then run: dpkg -l | grep linux-image those are the installed kernels, you can uninstall any which are surplus with: sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-image-<numbers here>-generic | 11:38 |
| Gunnar | fantastic Thanks ! | 11:38 |
| welcome | hi! I use Ubuntu 9.10. How do I change my user name ? thnx agian | 11:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Gunnar: once you have removed what you dont need run: sudo apt-get --purge autoremove | 11:39 |
| ActionParsnip | Gunnar: you will gain about 120Mb per kernel in space | 11:39 |
| Gunnar | Sweet | 11:39 |
| yanzc | help!my pc can't open any website.it always "waiting" or "analysising".my os is 9.10_amd64. | 11:39 |
| ActionParsnip | Gunnar: grub will be updated accordingly for you too | 11:39 |
| drellok | tado, you can try to restore back old .mozilla-thunderbird and place prefs.js file from a new one.. this will show if the problem is tied to this file | 11:39 |
| WhiteSouL | hello | 11:39 |
| forkcap | Ghufran, check into ssh keys, it will solve your problem nicely | 11:39 |
| ghufran | kling0n: i just want to be able to replace ssh user@1.2.3.4 by say ssh user@SERVER .. something like that | 11:39 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | welcome: you want to change the username? I'm not sure yo ucan. You can make a new user and then chown the files over. | 11:39 |
| dijmen | SpaceGhostC2C: yeah, got quite a few | 11:39 |
| tado | drellok: oh, yes. one sec | 11:39 |
| forkcap | ghufran: also edit your hosts file /etc/hosts with your custom short names for ips | 11:40 |
| kling0n | ghufran: man hosts then | 11:40 |
| indus | any ideas why on changing the password for admin, the wifi disconnects | 11:40 |
| welcome | spaceghost : i intend to change my user name | 11:40 |
| drellok | tado, also save the old prefs.js | 11:41 |
| ghufran | ok thanks forkap, kling0n | 11:41 |
| forkcap | indus, router restarts? | 11:41 |
| tado | drellok: sure | 11:41 |
| yanzc | my internet environment is school network.and it is just ok yesterday | 11:41 |
| kling0n | ghufran: be aware though, that this will affect all name lookups for the hostnames you put inthere | 11:42 |
| chaitu | indus: I guess that because root is giving access to wifi... | 11:42 |
| indus | chaitu: forkcap i mean, once i had two diff passwords for system and network | 11:42 |
| greezmunkey | limey, you still there? | 11:42 |
| tado | drellok: it works. now i can maybe try a long work of copy pasting the pref one by one and see what messes it up | 11:43 |
| indus | then i had to go to passwords and keyrings and change it again | 11:43 |
| limey | greezmunkey, im here | 11:43 |
| sllide | i need some help here | 11:43 |
| HilBilly | I installed thunderbird using aptitude. But when I got around to importing my email from eudora, the only format I can import from is communicator 4.x | 11:43 |
| HilBilly | What is up with that? | 11:43 |
| ActionParsnip | !ask | slide | 11:43 |
| ubottu | slide: 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. :-) | 11:43 |
| Younder | slide, fire | 11:43 |
| sllide | i cant choose betwean kubuntu and ubuntu | 11:43 |
| drellok | tado, yes, this should work :) | 11:43 |
| greezmunkey | limey, you are communicating with a winbox, what flavor, OS? | 11:44 |
| ActionParsnip | slide: use one for a month, then use the other for a month, then choose | 11:44 |
| Younder | slide, well do you program= | 11:44 |
| sllide | actionparsnip: that was my intro for my epic question | 11:44 |
| limey | greezmunkey, win7 | 11:44 |
| indus | whats the difference between sudo passwd and sudo passwd username | 11:44 |
| greezmunkey | limey, yikes | 11:44 |
| Younder | slide, kubuntu has the Qt language | 11:44 |
| sllide | whats are the pro's of ubuntu and kubuntu? | 11:44 |
| chaitu | indus: my guess is that because at the end of the day, its root who is giving you a user acces to wifi.. again thats my guess | 11:44 |
| MenZa | indus: sudo passwd would set root's password, I guess. | 11:44 |
| MenZa | just as 'passwd' would set yours. | 11:44 |
| bazhang | sllide, lets take this to #ubuntu-offtopic | 11:44 |
| limey | greezmunkey, i can go boot it into mint | 11:44 |
| indus | cool so thats how i get a user root :) | 11:44 |
| MenZa | :P | 11:45 |
| HilBilly | they have different desktop enviroments, sllide | 11:45 |
| indus | lol | 11:45 |
| limey | greezmunkey, same thing happens | 11:45 |
| indus | let me login as root then | 11:45 |
| indus | brb | 11:45 |
| Younder | slide, unfortunatly being C++ it doesn't communicate so well with other langages | 11:45 |
| kling0n | sllide: different flavours and "native" applications ... that's one of the biggest questions of the internet right there | 11:45 |
| sllide | bazhang: am there | 11:45 |
| chaitu | indus: why would you want to login as root? | 11:45 |
| greezmunkey | limey, that definately points to the network then... | 11:45 |
| ActionParsnip | slide: if you have both installed you have all the advantages, only disadvantage is data size | 11:45 |
| Younder | slide, so I use ubutu which has gret python, perl etc interfaces | 11:45 |
| chaitu | MenZa: I thought sudo is good enough to run apps as root? | 11:45 |
| kling0n | sllide: you might want to see http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/kdegnome | 11:45 |
| greezmunkey | limey, of course it could be hardware, HDD, etc as well | 11:45 |
| MenZa | chaitu: it is. | 11:45 |
| MenZa | chaitu: hence why it's used. root is not needed. or endorsed. | 11:45 |
| chaitu | yeah that was my understanding too. Thanks :) | 11:46 |
| Younder | slide, gnome's object system is dynamic, kubutu's is static | 11:46 |
| greezmunkey | limey, are these laptops, desktops, or what? | 11:46 |
| indus | hi folks | 11:46 |
| Younder | slide, so accessing windows from a scipting language is akward | 11:46 |
| limey | greezmunkey, server is desktop, the rest laptops and netbooks | 11:46 |
| indus | iam root :D | 11:47 |
| bazhang | Younder, lets take this to #ubuntu-offtopic | 11:47 |
| indus | iam not i cant login as that | 11:47 |
| ActionParsnip | i am sparticus | 11:47 |
| aaron11 | Hi | 11:47 |
| indus | ok new question | 11:47 |
| Younder | bazhang, no I'm finished | 11:47 |
| limey | greezmunkey, imma go try some stuff and come back later. thanks for help | 11:47 |
| indus | how to change network password | 11:47 |
| chaitu | indus: there is no user as root in ubuntu, You can do sudo and then run any app with root priviliges | 11:47 |
| greezmunkey | limey, ok. What is the wireless layout? Distance, etc? | 11:47 |
| exiton | i have problems with my radeon 7500 (thinkpad T40) since ubuntu 9.10 notifications and gnome-system-monitor are just showing black and white grissle | 11:48 |
| indus | chaitu: ther is a root | 11:48 |
| indus | chaitu: only, no password set yet | 11:48 |
| chaitu | indus: umnnn intresting | 11:48 |
| ardchoille | !sudo | 11:48 |
| ubottu | sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) | 11:48 |
| kling0n | chaitu: there *is* a root user | 11:48 |
| indus | chaitu: yea go to users and groups and voila :) | 11:48 |
| limey | greezmunkey, it is wireless n, but most connect on G, but signal is good; 75-100% | 11:48 |
| chaitu | heh yeah :) | 11:48 |
| aaron11 | Do you ubuntuers know how to setup Hydra TCH? Its a TAR.GZ file. | 11:48 |
| kling0n | you can do sudo su and then you're root | 11:48 |
| greezmunkey | limey, type this in a terminal, tell me the results..iwlist ra0 scanning | 11:49 |
| ardchoille | kling0n: That's neither advised nor supported. use sudo -i instead | 11:49 |
| greezmunkey | replace ra0 with wlan0, sorry | 11:49 |
| indus | i cant figure out how to login as one though :P | 11:49 |
| sllide | Younder: whats Qt for? | 11:49 |
| sllide | the widgets and stuff? | 11:49 |
| chaitu | kling0n: I knew sudo would give you root priviliges, but didnt know we can login to ubuntu as root | 11:49 |
| Younder | bazhang, Qt is the KDE windows platform | 11:49 |
| limey | greezmunkey, Interface doesn't support scanning. | 11:49 |
| indus | chaitu: yae we can, its just some scare perpetrated by users :) | 11:49 |
| chaitu | never did. always sudo here | 11:50 |
| ardchoille | There is no reason to log in as root. I have been using Ubuntu since 2004 and have never needed to log in as root. use sudo, it's more secure. | 11:50 |
| Younder | sllide, Qt is the KDE windows platform | 11:50 |
| chaitu | yeah | 11:50 |
| sllide | oh | 11:50 |
| bazhang | Younder, right? | 11:50 |
| indus | ardchoille: iam tired of synaptic asking for password all ways | 11:50 |
| indus | ardchoille: so | 11:50 |
| indus | but nvm | 11:50 |
| Ramseize | question: when using colinux with ubuntu can i use apt-get or the synaptic, can i save changes or add programs? how about andlinux? | 11:50 |
| Younder | sllide, a c++ library for XWindows | 11:50 |
| sllide | ah | 11:50 |
| greezmunkey | limey, that bites...Do you detect any other access points in your immediate area? | 11:51 |
| indus | ok i have a question, in users and groups , there is option to random generate password, what is that and how do u know what is the password | 11:51 |
| sllide | i think i go with kubuntu | 11:51 |
| bazhang | !ot | Younder sllide | 11:51 |
| ubottu | Younder sllide: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 11:51 |
| nonix4_ | How do I tell apt and friends to avoid one package like plaque? (in other words, do NOT install it regardless of Recommends: for it by other packages) | 11:51 |
| sllide | do they have the same hardware support tho? | 11:51 |
| Younder | sllide, essentially the difference between ubuntu and kubuntu is that ubuntu uses gnome and kubuntu uses Qt | 11:51 |
| limey | greezmunkey, they are all secured | 11:52 |
| sllide | ok :D | 11:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Younder: and sound stuff too | 11:52 |
| nonix4_ | plague that is... can I mark non-installed package as held somehow? | 11:52 |
| jonathan__ | Hi, is there an option in ubuntu to remove all packages I installed yesterday? | 11:52 |
| greezmunkey | limey, what channels are they on, same as yours? | 11:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Younder: ubuntu uses gstreamer, kubuntu uses something else, hence the restricted-extras package being different | 11:52 |

| Ramseize | question: when using colinux with ubuntu can i use apt-get or the synaptic, can i save changes or add programs? how about andlinux? | 11:57 |
| yalu | now this is one more thing that baffels me. There is an install cd for release 8.04 on cdimage.ubuntu.com. But since it doesn't support the ide controller in my sun system, I installed 6.06 instead and tried an upgrade. But I can not find a package repository for Sparc for that release. the archive sites only have packages for 6.06. | 11:57 |
| jonathan__ | Thank you iceroot, found the dates | 11:57 |
| doolittlework | hi there need some info please can ubutu or linux have something like a terminal server? | 11:57 |
| kling0n | Ramseize: it is unclear for me exactly what you're asking | 11:57 |
| aaron11 | !info jhon-the-rippere | 11:57 |
| ubottu | Package jhon-the-rippere does not exist in karmic | 11:57 |
| aaron11 | !info jhon-the-ripper | 11:57 |
| ubottu | Package jhon-the-ripper does not exist in karmic | 11:57 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | yalu: use a newer ubuntu | 11:57 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | aaron11: it's john | 11:58 |
| kling0n | !info john | aaron11 | 11:58 |
| ubottu | aaron11: john (source: john): active password cracking tool. In component main, is optional. Version 1.7.2-3ubuntu2 (karmic), package size 260 kB, installed size 764 kB | 11:58 |
| yalu | SpaceGhostC2C: for christ's ske that's what I am trying. where are the package repos? | 11:58 |
| Ramseize | kling0n, what i mean is that can i save changes, when i add applications and stuff | 11:58 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | aaron11: we're all assuming your looking into software for hacking is for offensive securty checks. | 11:58 |
| Younder | aaron11, it's jack the ripper :) | 11:58 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | yalu: chill. You're wanting to do a upgrade? | 11:59 |
| yalu | well, yes :-) | 11:59 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | yalu: sudo update-manager -d | 11:59 |
| aaron11 | Younder: Is it posible to install from snapytech | 11:59 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | yalu: gksudo update-manager -d | 11:59 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | aaron11: look into backtracklinux | 11:59 |
| Younder | aaron11, no just spytech | 11:59 |
| csaba | can I use the scp command so that I copy a file, AND set its permission mode, user and group | 12:00 |
| yalu | SpaceGhostC2C: upgrade-managers fail, because of this. look. http://be.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/ . enter the dapper directory, then look at the hardy or karmic one. after 6.06 there is no powerpc or sparc | 12:00 |
| aaron11 | SpaceGhostC2C: I have that but it doesnt recondnise my wireless card | 12:00 |
| kling0n | Ramseize: intuitively i'd say yes, but I am not sure what your setup is exactly.... are you dualbooting? | 12:01 |
| Oyoz | hey guys,how and from which site can i download the latest adobe reader 4 my ubuntu 9.10?Its not in the ubuntu software center | 12:01 |
| ActionParsnip | csaba: i think so, you'd have to read the man pages | 12:01 |
| kekale | adobe reader 4? | 12:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Oyoz: is your ubuntu 32bit? | 12:01 |
| csaba | ActionParsnip: I did read the man pages | 12:01 |

| ActionParsnip | Oyoz: adobe reader is up to 9.2 | 12:02 |

| ActionParsnip | Oyoz: that command will get you adobe reader 9.2 | 12:03 |
| kling0n | Ramseize: so.. you're asking about a completely custom setup, booting a livecd image of ubuntu from a conlinux install on a usb stick? I'd say that depends on how you choose to implement it | 12:03 |

| nonix4_ | kling0n: may I ask what the two directories are for, then? :) | 12:10 |
| kcj1993 | can anyone answer my question? | 12:10 |
| wingzero | ActionParsnip i ran them in a terminal but they are still running i see no output | 12:10 |
| ActionParsnip | you won't | 12:11 |
| Synt- | What ftpserver should i use for a client ftp server? i want one user to have access to a root folder and add users for their own folders under the root folder | 12:11 |
| ActionParsnip | let it run, its freeing up ram for you | 12:11 |

| kcj1993 | does anyone know why notify-osd seems to reserve a space for the volume notification? | 12:11 |
| Younder | kcj1993: what question? | 12:11 |

| kcj1993 | younder: does anyone know why notify-osd seems to reserve a space for the volume notification? | 12:12 |
| kling0n | nonix4_: you could probably put a file inthere, but I'd guess the naming scheme is different... i'm sure there are other approaches, but /etc/apt/apt.conf is one that i'm *certain* will work | 12:12 |
| kcj1993 | Younder: does anyone know why notify-osd seems to reserve a space for the volume notification? | 12:12 |
| ActionParsnip | wingzero: with full compiz and gnome desktop, about 400-500Mb i'd say | 12:13 |
| Younder | Synt-, use a restricted account | 12:13 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | kcj1993, It isnt using notify-osd as far as I remember. | 12:13 |
| shushek | Hello, I've been using Karmic for the last some days and seems like as if its running slow than 8.04 which i was using earlier. How can tune it up to make it fast? | 12:13 |
| ARTSIOM | Hi All! | 12:13 |
| kling0n | shushek: disable graphic effects | 12:13 |
| ActionParsnip | wingzero: it can be made less. mines using 495 with transmission running | 12:13 |
| kostkon | kcj1993, becuase it's a higher priority notif | 12:14 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | shushek: we need more information on your problem. As far as I know there isn't a single "Tune your windows" app for ubuntu. | 12:14 |
| Younder | Synt-, see rssh | 12:14 |
| ARTSIOM | I have a folder with jruby executables /usr/local/lib/jruby/bin, where I should add PATH = $PATH:/usr/local/lib/jruby/bin, so this jruby executables will be available to _ALL_ users? | 12:14 |
| wingzero | ActionParsnip now it uses 672 mb of memory with the destkop effect all tunred OFF, i have no idea why it uses so much | 12:14 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | shushek: you can diable desktop effects. | 12:15 |
| Younder | kcj1993, I saw it the first time, and no I don't | 12:15 |
| kcj1993 | kostkon: but why would it do that if it's not even there? | 12:15 |
| kostkon | kcj1993, what do you mean? | 12:15 |
| ActionParsnip | wingzero: run: top see whats going on | 12:15 |
| kostkon | kcj1993, i assume that most of your notifs appear lower | 12:15 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | kcj1993, It doesn't use notify-osd. It uses something else I believe. | 12:15 |
| === JEEBcz is now known as JEEB | ||
| ActionParsnip | wingzero: have you got video drivers running ok? | 12:16 |
| kostkon | kcj1993, and you can see there is a space between the notif and your panel | 12:16 |
| kcj1993 | yes | 12:16 |
| kcj1993 | I hate how it does that | 12:16 |
| kostkon | kcj1993, that is because in the space only the high priority notif appear there, like the volume notif and some others | 12:16 |
| kostkon | kcj1993, it's a feature. there is a way to disable it by installing a different ver of notify-osd | 12:17 |
| kcj1993 | it's a very strange behaviour | 12:17 |
| nonix4_ | kling0n: well... making that file /etc/apt/preferences (as documented on the page you mentioned) worked. Subdirectory either seems to have some rules on naming or maybe it isn't even used by default. | 12:17 |
| wingzero | yes they are installed with the hardwaredrivers in the sytem menu | 12:17 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | kcj1993, in notify-osd you cannot specify where a notification gets placed. This was made so that you have one place to look for notifications. | 12:17 |

| SpaceGhostC2C | shushek, with that set up you need to disable desktop effects. | 12:18 |
| kostkon | kcj1993, i'm saying it's a feature to signify that is not a bug | 12:18 |
| kcj1993 | indus: i agree | 12:18 |

| SpaceGhostC2C | gribouille, is the network card supported? | 12:19 |

| SpaceGhostC2C | indus, what do you mean? I like it. | 12:19 |
| lat | ActionParsnip and SpaceGhostC2C , the problem was I forgot to end a line with ;; Actually, I forgot all about changing the file. Thanks for the hints! | 12:19 |
| indus | and teh update manager pop up is stupid to say the least | 12:19 |
| Synt- | so there is no ftp server that can do what i want? | 12:19 |
| indus | and thats an understatement | 12:19 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | indus, It's easy to code with and it's not all silly. | 12:19 |
| bazhang | indus, then file a bug | 12:20 |

| lat | ActionParsnip, I tried to restore Cntl-Alt-Backspace by adding some lines to .xinitrc, but that cause resolution problems, so I removed them. | 12:26 |

| ActionParsnip | lat: fine but have you configured video drivers? | 12:26 |
| kling0n | Synt-: else, you could make a mirror setup locally and copy the config | 12:26 |

| flaps | ActionParsnip: i KNOW, but what use is that if ubuntu cant detect exFAT | 13:12 |

| psypher246 | hi all, is there anyone who can assist me as to why the ubuntu keyring CONSTANTLY asks for password at boot for ubuntu one client and evolution alarm notifier, this seems to be a karmic specific issue and happening on every install, very annoying, thanks | 13:16 |
| fbianconi | lcb: use p to see if the order changed | 13:16 |
| flaps | SpaceGhostC2C: windows 7 wont format it to fat32, as i said | 13:16 |
| Younder | syrious, yes, but most users install with ext3 so they keep ext3 | 13:16 |
| syrius | testing out ubuntu 9.10 minimal cd with qemu first | 13:16 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | flaps: you can format it in ubuntu.... gparted | 13:16 |
| flaps | ActionParsnip: so ubuntu *will* detect an ntfs usb drive? | 13:16 |
| syrius | seeing what packages I need also if I mess up it is no big deal | 13:17 |
| ki4cgp | flaps: boot into a liveCD, use gparted to reformat the flash drive to whatever you wish, fat32 being the most compatible. | 13:17 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | syrius the best choice would be to vm the ubuntu iso if you want to test a super dwarfed version. | 13:17 |
| lcb | fbianconi, after 'f' it says "nothing to do. ordering is correct already". so i guess it stays as is (sdb2) | 13:17 |

| SpaceGhostC2C | flaps, don't boot into a livecd. Just install gparted in gnome. Or in ubuntu you can google windows reformat tool | 13:18 |
| syrius | dwarfed? SpaceGhostC2C | 13:18 |
| syrius | you mean like a beta or alpha release? | 13:18 |
| flaps | ki4cgp: i guess that might work, thanks | 13:18 |

| balachmar | hi, when I try to setup tomboy notes to sync with ubuntu one, it freezes during synchronization. And I get the following error: http://pastebin.com/m77679bc0 | 14:09 |
| ActionParsnip | rokr1: it compresses the image as its made so makes a small file | 14:09 |
| DigitalKiwi | you can compress it with *zip | 14:09 |
| DarkKnight | Younder: yes, i know, but pulseaudio uses alsa too... pulseaudio in 9.04 isnt compatible with my notebook sound card (it laggs in a few second after playing something), but in 9.10 it works perfectly. But 9.10 is still bad so i dont want it, many things doesnt work there | 14:09 |
| Azeotrope | does 9.10 encrypts swap if you choose home encryption? i made the swap be encrypted luks-style because i didn't knew that. can i delete the entry in cryptab? | 14:11 |
| Younder | DarkKnight, yes karmic is a bit twitchy, but install it all the same. There was a new kernel update today that should fix most of the problems | 14:11 |
| DigitalKiwi | dd if=/foo | gzip -9 > ~/backup.gz | 14:12 |

| CC13 | Hi guys. I need some advise here. I have just installed ubuntu 9.04 on an EEE PC 900. I have a little spy cam that outputs video/sound in RCA cables, does there exist a way that i can convert that into a usb signal or something, and then Ubuntu must show the ouput of the camera on the screen (read: Not record, show!) | 14:12 |
| DarkKnight | Younder: stil doesnt working :\ is there any possibility to use 9.10 pulse in 9.04? | 14:12 |
| ajaibeh | my browser firefox is getting freeze.. does anyone know any other browser name???? | 14:12 |
| Younder | DarkKnight, just make sure you have only ONE python version | 14:12 |
| ActionParsnip | DigitalKiwi: partimage can do it for you, it can even put an image back on a partition (or another system) ;) | 14:12 |
| DJones | !browser | ajaibeh | 14:13 |

| CC13 | I can only find with antanna | 14:14 |
| DigitalKiwi | ActionParsnip: yeah but I already have gzip and dd installed, and any decent live disk will already have them too, partimage is something extra I'm not guaranteed to have | 14:14 |
| kekale | What's wrong with antennas? | 14:14 |
| CShadowRun | aww, that factoid was disappointing :( | 14:14 |
| Younder | DarkKnight, just remove old versions | 14:14 |
| CShadowRun | CC13 but yea, google it :) | 14:14 |
| chris231989 | cc13: i found one at best buy that was usb and had coax and rca inputs | 14:15 |
| kekale | DigitalKiwi, you'll probably have an internet connection too, so you can install the partimage on the live system as well | 14:15 |
| DigitalKiwi | besides my command is simpler than installing partimage and running whatever command it's going to make me run ;) KISS | 14:15 |
| Younder | DarkKnight, and DON'T install version 3.x | 14:15 |

| pol-ar | I have a tv capture device (ENLTV-FM) based on the saa7134 chipset and I can't get it to work | 14:17 |
| DigitalKiwi | though partimage is on systemrescuecd which is one of only a few live disks I would use for a recovery | 14:18 |
| DarkKnight | Younder: but how can i install only sound engine from karmic, and i want to have 9.04, cause in karmic is still thing which i hate (bootloader etc.) | 14:18 |
| BluesKaj | pol-ar, I'm not sure , but try tvtime .. it may work for you | 14:18 |
| Azeotrope | my default login screen shows only one user and i have two of them? any idea why? | 14:18 |
| DigitalKiwi | but still, dd + gzip/bzip > partimage in terms if simplicity and guarantee of having tools easily available | 14:19 |
| pol-ar | blueskaj, I've installed tv time. the program runs very well. But the DEVICE is not properly installed... | 14:19 |
| kekale | DigitalKiwi, why limit yourself to a certain subset of live cd's when doing recovery? Just use what's available. | 14:19 |
| Younder | DarkKnight, the sound engine in gento is fine | 14:19 |
| DarkKnight | Younder: but i want to have ubuntu 9.04 :) | 14:20 |
| DigitalKiwi | kekale: what's available is what I make available, and systemrescuecd is one of them :P | 14:20 |

| python_root | ActionParsnip: now what should i do | 14:27 |
| pol-ar | I dissent with you actionaprsnip | 14:27 |
| ActionParsnip | python_root: the saftely remove hardware icon isnt there for a laugh, its to be used so you dont damage the file system | 14:27 |
| pol-ar | that functionality 'safely remove hardware' | 14:27 |
| python_root | ActionParsnip : Now what | 14:27 |
| pol-ar | is only so that office programs close 'virtual' copies of files | 14:27 |
| pol-ar | before you'rip out' the hw. | 14:27 |
| AndyGraybeal | i'm trying to mount it with fstab, i can mount it found with mount /dev/mapper/longstringofstuff /mnt/500gb ; but when i tried to do it with fstab, i put 'reiserfs' as a guess hoping that would work -- i don't really know if it's the correct filesystem or not | 14:28 |
| ActionParsnip | python_root: you can try foremost to recover the data, or you may be able to make the disk a single partiton like it was | 14:28 |
| Younder | DarkKnight, if you do contact the ubuntu developement group. They might help you fic bugs. | 14:28 |
| maco | pol-ar: on linux and osx, nothing is written to disk until you safely remove | 14:28 |
| pol-ar | so maybe you just rip out your pendrive, the only thing is gonna happen you'll keep the 'ghost' copies of your .docs | 14:28 |
| pol-ar | no big deal. | 14:28 |
| python_root | ActionParsnip i need no data from it | 14:28 |
| ActionParsnip | python_root: i'd go for foremost personally, remember: gracefully remove usb devices or it WILL happen again | 14:28 |
| maco | pol-ar: so if you yank it without doing that, the data will likely not be written at all | 14:28 |
| python_root | I want it to work even blank | 14:28 |
| DJones | ActionParsnip: A week or so back you had a link to solve a sound mute on boot problem, do you still have that to hand that you could tell me | 14:28 |
| maco | pol-ar: do not assume that everything is like windows | 14:28 |
| ActionParsnip | python_root: then use gparted to make a partition on the device and format it as you need | 14:28 |
| Younder | DarkKnight, https://lists.ubuntu.com | 14:28 |
| pol-ar | right, maco. didn't know that. thanks for the info :D | 14:28 |

| Church | ronny: vfat32 is used to simplify compatibility/data interchange with windows and eg. embedded devices that use it. why use some fat alike fs which aren't supported by those OSes/devices if there are better alternatives available, if you don't care about compatibility? | 14:45 |

| DasEi | egonw: can you boot a live cd on that system ? | 15:01 |
| Snausages | npat: as far as "out of the box" support goes you are kind of hosed, as almost all new wireless chipsets require the restricted drivers which are supplied seperately from the main distribution. | 15:01 |
| npat | does del make something like ASUS EEE PC 1101HA (similar in dimensions, batery life, etc)? | 15:02 |
| Snausages | npat: so it'll be quite difficult to find a netbook whose wifi works without you having to make an extra download | 15:02 |
| BluesKaj | trism, I might try that on our laptop. Wife prefers to boot into windows ,..unfortumately she's not a linux fan | 15:02 |

| gdiz | so I have a question for you all. I am setting up a media server on my ubuntu machine. I would like to access this machine via ssh to start up things like firefox (or some equivelent browser) to go to a new show on hulu or have rhythmbox play a certain song. Do any of you know how I could do that via a shell session | 15:29 |

| dojo | or you want to see the firefox session on your screen | 15:30 |

| dojo | gdiz, it sounds like you want to look into the -X option in ssh | 15:31 |
| dojo | (x forwarding) | 15:31 |
| gdiz | dojo, that's the plan. I have the ubuntu computer hooked up to my TV so if it is possible I'd like the ssh part to be able to start up the gui interface on the TV | 15:31 |
| gdiz | dojo, what does the -X option do? | 15:31 |

| trism | tamale: that isn't exactly going to work because of the way grub 2 works now, all the linux kernels are going to be together...if you need to set the position because you want to set the default to something other than ubuntu, you can specify the menuentry name in /etc/default/grub as GRUB_DEFAULT="menuentry name you find in /boot/grub/grub.cf here" | 15:53 |

| trism | tamale: so if you want to switch back to ubuntu as the default, you can just set it back to 0 | 15:54 |
| tamale | trism: Yes, I saw that.. but I REALLY don't want the recovery mode to be above the windows entry.. that's completely useless to me | 15:54 |
| tamale | trism: I want ubuntu to be the default, but I want the item immediately under that to be the windows install | 15:54 |
| flavien_ | slt | 15:54 |
| trism | tamale: although you could always chmod -x to all the entries other than custom and specify them all manually, but you'll need to add the new kernel everytime there is an update | 15:55 |

| Snausages | thiebaude: you may find that it isn't worth it... the RWs have more burn issues, are almost always slower to burn, and erasing them can be time-consuming as well. | 16:23 |

| hey_joe | i am trying to enable console colors for my user... | 16:31 |
| alexandre__ | how do i enable gnome-globalmenu or awn-manager?? i installed both, but i'm not able to enable either of them | 16:31 |
| hey_joe | it works as root, but with the same .bashrc it doesnt work as a user, any tips? | 16:32 |
| uberspaced | hey_joe, what's root's shell? | 16:32 |
| uberspaced | in /etc/passwd? | 16:32 |
| grawity | hey_joe: Tip #1: Tell us how _exactly_ are you trying to enable that. | 16:32 |
| uberspaced | crap, never mind. | 16:33 |
| hey_joe | uhm.. with the .bashrc aliases? | 16:33 |
| marcellino | join #carioca | 16:33 |
| hey_joe | however the funny thing is, the users .bashrc is the same as roots.. | 16:33 |
| hey_joe | yet colors only work as root | 16:33 |
| hey_joe | i.e. (alias ls = ls --color=auto) | 16:33 |
| uberspaced | as the users, does ls --color=auto work? | 16:34 |
| simplexio | terminal settings? | 16:34 |
| hey_joe | uberspaced, no.. | 16:34 |
| hey_joe | but its in the .bashrc | 16:34 |
| simplexio | hey_joe: export|grep TERM | 16:34 |
| kaushal | checking in again for my query ? | 16:34 |
| simplexio | are those same on both | 16:34 |
| uberspaced | hey_joe, so, if you, as a regular user, running /bin/bash, ls --color=auto doesn't work? | 16:34 |
| hey_joe | ah hum. my bad.. uberspaced, your right.. wrong shell set | 16:35 |
| uberspaced | XD | 16:35 |
| uberspaced | make sure users have read on .bashrc too. | 16:35 |
| alexandre__ | how do i enable gnome-globalmenu or awn-manager?? i installed both, but i'm not able to enable either of them | 16:35 |
| hey_joe | uberspaced, actually.. bash is the default shell for the user in /etc/passwd, but only after running /bin/bash do the colors work.. | 16:35 |
| hey_joe | whats up with that? | 16:35 |
| brontos | anyone know where the tab complete config is? I try to use tab completion when using sqlite3 to open a file and it doesn't work | 16:36 |
| uberspaced | did you log back in? | 16:36 |
| uberspaced | brontos, tab completion is not a "global" thing | 16:36 |
| uberspaced | it's an "application" thing. | 16:36 |
| uberspaced | hey_joe, log out, log back in with the user. | 16:36 |
| hey_joe | uberspaced... i did | 16:37 |
| racarter | bah, i cannot adjust my screen resolution | 16:37 |
| uberspaced | or test it on one of the terminals, like ctrl + alt + f1 | 16:37 |
| hey_joe | let me reboot it, its not a local machine | 16:37 |
| uberspaced | hey_joe, reboot should NOT be needed. | 16:37 |
| racarter | i know my monitor supports a higher resolution than what gnome is telling me i can | 16:37 |
| uberspaced | racarter, check to see what driver X is using. | 16:37 |
| uberspaced | there may be a chance it doesn't support the higher resolution. | 16:37 |

| uberspaced | racarter, are there entries in there for valid modes and bit depths? | 16:39 |
| uberspaced | oh, and what driver is it? | 16:40 |
| uberspaced | because you can "man <driver name>" and see what it supports... | 16:40 |
| racarter | uberspaced, NVIDIA | 16:40 |
| uberspaced | racarter, do a "man nvidia" and read up :-D | 16:40 |
| hey_joe | uberspaced, it never came back from my reboot after recompiling, initrd problem I am sure.. will test bash solution when i get home thx | 16:41 |
| sienomar | whats the difference between generic & server kernel? am building a file server at home.. | 16:41 |
| alexandre__ | how do i enable awn-manager?? | 16:41 |
| uberspaced | hey_joe, d'oh. np | 16:41 |
| maco | sienomar: server has PAE so if you need 4GiB of RAM on 32bit, thatll work | 16:41 |
| racarter | ha, there is no entry for man nvidia | 16:41 |
| uberspaced | sienomar, server doesn't have preemption, generic is more optimized for desktop usage. | 16:41 |
| hey_joe | sienomar, i didn't there was a "server" kernel, i think its just the ISO of ubuntu.. the installer includes a gui for lamp/other things ... | 16:41 |
| sienomar | aa okey | 16:42 |
| maco | hey_joe: it does have a different kernel | 16:42 |
| uberspaced | racarter, and you're sure that 'nvidia' is the name of the driver in your dorg.conf ? | 16:42 |
| hey_joe | there is a server kernel? | 16:42 |
| sienomar | yes | 16:42 |
| sienomar | uberspaced: preemption? | 16:42 |
| hey_joe | well snap, would it help with playing movies over the network off of a raid5 array? | 16:42 |
| hey_joe | cause its choopy. :-( | 16:42 |
| racarter | uberspaced, yes | 16:42 |
| subby83 | Does anybody know something about a bug that hangs up the whole system with an kernel.log entry something like "NVRM: Xid (.........." | 16:42 |
| hey_joe | although so is all software raid i am sure. | 16:42 |
| uberspaced | sienomar, preemtion is when kernel code can cause other kernel code to get off the processor | 16:43 |
| uberspaced | *preemption | 16:43 |
| vis | Is it possible to install ubuntu onto a hard drive in a usb enclosure, and then put that hard drive into another laptop? | 16:43 |
| chaitu | alexandre__: run "awn" that should start awn, You can access awn manger from settings in menu | 16:43 |
| uberspaced | vis, I don't see a reason why not... | 16:43 |
| vis | would there be any problem with it not installing appropriate drivers etc? | 16:44 |
| === root__ is now known as abort | ||
| uberspaced | assuming you did a correct install on that drive, like boot stuff, grub stuff etc | 16:44 |
| uberspaced | it should at least "boot". | 16:44 |
| racarter | the resolution I am seeking is specified in the xorg.conf for the monitor at the default depth... | 16:44 |
| vis | and then I can work from there I guess | 16:45 |
| uberspaced | unless the installer detected specific differences between hardware stuff | 16:45 |
| racarter | what is the reason I cannot select this resolution? is there anyway to force the selection of this resolution without a gui tool? | 16:45 |
| uberspaced | racarter, then comment out that line, copy it, and just have one entry for the resolution | 16:45 |
| uberspaced | then /etc/init.d/gdm restart . | 16:45 |
| uberspaced | it also helps to have an ssh session into the box. | 16:45 |

| mmalleis | I am using gftp to transfer a perl script via ssh2 too a solaris server, when I open up the file on there there is a ^m at the end of every line | 16:56 |
| mmalleis | why? | 16:56 |
| Scunizi | thevishy: unless you want the 64 bit version | 16:56 |
| fbianconi | plitter: it's a feature for writing more symbols like á or ü, useful when writing other languages (the first one doesn't show) | 16:56 |

| thevishy | I have a laptop with no battery which means my laptop will go off if the powr goes , how safe is it to use Ubuntu in such environment | 16:58 |
| mmalleis | I wrote it with notepad ++ on windows, there has never been a problem before? | 16:58 |
| llutz | mmalleis: use recode to change | 16:58 |
| mmalleis | the linefeed? | 16:58 |
| grawity | mmalleis: Windows uses a combination of CR and LF (carriage return + linefeed) to mark end of a line. | 16:59 |
| llutz | mmalleis: yes windows uses cr/lf | 16:59 |
| thevishy | does power off corrupt the linux os , Windows XP has been good on me in this rgard | 16:59 |
| Dr_Willis | mmalleis: ive seen that issue when moving text files from windows to linux and visa versa. | 16:59 |
| grawity | mmalleis: Unix and Linux use a single LF -- so most editors display the extra CR as a ^M | 16:59 |

| rob_p | mmalleis: What you describe is consistent with ASCII FTP transfers. | 17:03 |
| leaf-sheep | CarlFK: You probably have better chance of converting if you use Adobe Illustrator to convert to different format first. | 17:04 |

| mauro | ciao | 17:05 |
| naples_guy | man makes no sense to me guys.... any websites that explain in more detail? | 17:05 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | naples_guy, Learn to RTFM (read the F'ing manual) you just put "man", without quotes in front of any command you want to read about | 17:05 |
| grawity | naples_guy: "man rm" | 17:05 |
| maco | naples_guy: "man man" explains how manpages are laid out and how to read them | 17:05 |
| grawity | naples_guy: "rm --help" | 17:05 |

| naples_guy | i just got finished telling you guys..... man is confusing to me | 17:06 |
| naples_guy | i know how to use it | 17:06 |
| mMezquitale | naples_guy, you either have to google or use "man". I almost never use man, I prefer google. | 17:06 |
| llutz | naples_guy: if man confuses you, what kind of explanation do you expect? | 17:06 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | naples_guy, you need to learn how then. You can just google it then. | 17:06 |
| maco | llutz: um, manpages arent very human-friendly in their layout | 17:06 |
| Sado0og | guyz how to install ATI RADEON MOBILITY HD 3450 in UBNUTU ????? | 17:06 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | man is written very cleanly. | 17:06 |

| naples_guy | maco, thank you | 17:07 |
| plitter | fbianconi: thanks it worked:) | 17:07 |
| llutz | maco: besides the layout, they mostly contain what you need to know | 17:07 |
| naples_guy | i have purchased a book, im trying to learn | 17:07 |
| maco | naples_guy: the way i learned was "man man" since it tells how they're laid out, and to read the manpage for commands i already knew how to use | 17:07 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | if you google "man <commandname> | 17:07 |
| gcAlan | I have a problem - In Ubuntu 9.10 I can get only 24-bit color and 600x1200 display. booting in Windows 7 I get 32-bit color and 1920x1300 display. Any help out there? | 17:07 |
| mMezquitale | SpaceGhostC2C, man is cryptic and not for the typical ubuntu user, it's geared more for advanced users | 17:07 |
| maco | naples_guy: reading the manpage for a command i already know helped me make sense of the layout | 17:07 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | it will return the same thing man would have, but with some shiny. | 17:07 |
| subby83 | Does anybody know somthing about a bug that hangs up the whole system with an kernel.log entry something like "NVRM: Xid (.........." | 17:07 |

| SpaceGhostC2C | naples_guy, simply put if you don't want the options we present, you're on your own. | 17:11 |
| trans_err | but I'm making a live CD-- surely there are a set of packages used to enable text based install-- I am remastering an existing live install cd | 17:11 |
| mMezquitale | BUBUNTU, what version of flash are you using? | 17:11 |
| maco | SpaceGhostC2C: the point is you are supposed to *help* people, not just send them away. if someone needs hand-holding, this is not a deficiency in that person. | 17:11 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | trans_err, that makes a lot more sense. | 17:11 |

| SpaceGhostC2C | gatto_, you want to start an X-session from the tty? | 17:22 |
| uberspaced | gatto_: do you mean /etc/init.d/gdm (start | restart | stop) | 17:22 |
| uberspaced | ? | 17:22 |
| llutz | gatto_: your question makes no sense | 17:22 |
| Fatb0y | pongar, did you manual install the nvidia drivers or use aptitude to install nvidia-glx package? | 17:22 |

| llutz | gatto_: type "startx" | 17:22 |
| mbeierl | Has anyone ever used the Ubuntu rdesktop client to respond to a Windows remote assistance request? | 17:23 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | gatto_, you can do it many ways. The simplest is to do this command: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start | 17:23 |
| gatto_ | if i try starx command then mouse and keybord are don't work | 17:23 |
| gatto_ | so easy and work?:D | 17:23 |
| llutz | gatto_: then your x-configuration is broken | 17:23 |
| mMezquitale | BUBUNTU, you can try installing flash from the official site. However you have to uninstall whatever flash youre using right now. Uninstall the flash plugin youre using right now and use "add/remove" to choose a different plugin | 17:23 |

| G14 | Kay. | 17:28 |
| mMezquitale | Adam75, if you have a server you will want to install openssh server, this way you can have your files stored in your server and you can synchronize your files in your laptop, if you ever lose your laptop you have your files in your server | 17:29 |

| G14 | unruly-1: It didn't work for me... | 17:30 |

| SpaceGhostC2C | G14 I sent you a private message. | 17:31 |
| mMezquitale | Adam75, putty is for windows though, I'm sure there is a way of setting up ssh access to your machine using putty, I'm talking more about ubuntu on your server and ubuntu on your laptop, i use unison to synchronize my laptop and server over the internet using ssh | 17:31 |
| G14 | so the two questions I've trouble with, 8.04: Not booting with 7 after Wubi install; 9.04/9.10: Glitchy mouse cursor, anyone else had this, or know why? | 17:31 |
| Slart | blck: or just do it all on one line smartctl -A /dev/sda | grep -E 'Load_Cycle_Count|193' | tail -n 1 | egrep -o .{5}$ > /.conky/hdd_spin.txt | 17:32 |
| Unruly-1 | hmm I know I did something to it and made it work that wish I could remember what I did to it to make it work but I believe it may have something to do with Grub show it as Windows Vista and not 7 | 17:32 |

| mmalleis | In ubuntu it does not have the characters | 17:46 |
| BUBUNTU | mMezquitale http://pastebin.com/m53e62708 | 17:46 |
| uberspaced | or turn on binary sending. | 17:46 |
| om26er | ok. | 17:46 |
| mmalleis | is ubuntu just converting it? It is on binary | 17:46 |
| Slart | rafiq: if you go to preferences, appearance, Visual effects and click on Normal.. what happens? get any error messages? if not.. try awn again | 17:46 |
| llutz | blck: why don't you use awk instead of grep/tail/egrep/echo etc? | 17:46 |
| mMezquitale | mbeierl, what you want to do is install a server on windows, something like nx for windows, I suggest you log in at another time and ask someone how nx works. I was going to install nx on my ubuntu server but all I really needed was openssh | 17:46 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | G14 needs help on making a bootable SDCard, does anyone know if this method will workd | 17:46 |
| jj_ | anyone know how to make a custom slide show like in ubuntus wallpaper list of the solar system? | 17:47 |
| blck | Ilutz: I didn't know, bash is a cryptic thing for me :) | 17:47 |
| BUBUNTU | mMezquitale meanwhile im trying to install the pluggin in firefox again | 17:47 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | !anyone | 17:47 |
| ubottu | A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 17:47 |
| === Jehova is now known as jehovah | ||
| === Administrator is now known as dAlfa89_ | ||
| SpaceGhostC2C | !anyone | jj_ | 17:47 |
| ubottu | jj_: please see above | 17:47 |
| uberspaced | G14: like I said. use fdisk to toggle the sd card as bootable, then install grub on it. | 17:47 |
| Scunizi | jj_: I saw a program to do just that on www.getdeb.net I think it was called Smiles | 17:48 |
| asimismo | mMezquitale: it's not so much the pace or the volume of tail, I'd like something where I can load files using a dialog, possibly with tabs. I use BearTail on Windows. It's just ok, but I haven't found anything comparable on Linux. | 17:48 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | uberspaced: That;s all? | 17:48 |
| MasterofPuppets | ubottu: I wuv you :) | 17:48 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about I wuv you :) | 17:48 |
| jj_ | Scunizi not that actually | 17:48 |
| om26er | G14: during ubuntu setup select the SD card as you /root and it will boot | 17:48 |
| ctmjr | G14: you can put a bootable iso on an sd card but your bios will not boot from it | 17:48 |
| jj_ | Scunizi i mean in ubuntu look in backgrounds you see that slide show | 17:48 |
| jj_ | Scunzi if you want to make your own to place in there to do the same how is that possible | 17:48 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | MasterofPuppets, lawl... | 17:48 |
| llutz | blck: something like: smartctl -A /dev/sda | awk '/Load_Cycle_Count|193/ { print $4 }' /.conky/hdd_spin.txt; | 17:48 |
| MasterofPuppets | SpaceGhostC2C: All I want is him to acknowledge my existence... | 17:49 |
| Scunizi | jj_: nope.. running an earlier version of ubuntu.. I don't know that feature.. | 17:49 |
| acicula | parolang: do you get any error messages , can you post the output from ifconfig(in a console?) | 17:49 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | MasterofPuppets, I thought it was hilarious | 17:49 |
| MasterofPuppets | SpaceGhostC2C: :P | 17:49 |

| * om26er thinks live cd will boot from the sd card if the sd card is in a usb memory card reader | 17:49 | |
| jj_ | Scunizi oh i see, well there is a wallpaper changer in 9.10 in the gnome backgrounds its pretty neat i wanted to know how they did that so i could make my own sets | 17:49 |
| blck | Ilutz: Looks shorter, but now I get it anyway :P But thanks too | 17:50 |
| Whitor | Hi. I'm running 9.04 and recently I've been having an annoying issue... when my laptop goes to low power mode (after not touching the kayboard or mouse for a few minutes... the display goes dim (I beleive this is intentional to conserve power) However, when I bring it out of this mode... (by moving the mouse or touching the kayboard) the display only comes back to 2/3 brightness ... I have to manually bring it back to full brightness eve | 17:50 |
| Whitor | ry time... this occurs often. and this occurs with power plugged in | 17:50 |
| mMezquitale | BUBUNTU, try asking the same question later, maybe someone with more experience will be logged in at that time, a lot of people have had issues like the one youre describing, ive never personally seen anything like that, be patient and ask again later, someone that has an answer will eventually log in | 17:50 |
| llutz | blck: take it maybe as a tipp for future scripts, awk is mighty :) | 17:50 |
| Scunizi | jj_: most likely it's someplace in System > Preferences > | 17:50 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | BUBUNTU, what is your question? | 17:50 |
| parolang | acicula: No error messages. Hold on for the command. | 17:50 |
| acicula | parolang: pastebin ;) | 17:51 |
| MasterofPuppets | SpaceGhostC2C: Thanks! I just lurk and see if there are menial problems I can help with :) | 17:51 |
| ryan-c | anacron has stopped running jobs on my 8.04 LTS system. I tried reinstalling it, but that didn't fix the problem. Anyone know how to troubleshoot this? | 17:51 |
| blck | Ilutz: There are many thinks in Linux who are mighty. Hard to know it. But I'll tkae it like the apple of my eye | 17:51 |
| jj_ | Scunizi well i guessed it may be several images tar'd together or something thats how they have it setup now but im not so sure... | 17:51 |
| mbeierl | mMezquitale: I'm familiar with NX, which again is like terminal services. What I was looking for was: In Windows a user can generate a "remote assistance request". This is an XML file which contains RDP information which allows the recipient to attach to that user's Windows desktop and remotely control it. VNC does the exact same thing for Windows, but if I'm trying to help someone who does not have VNC installed and does not know how, Microsoft has thi | 17:51 |
| pol-ar | hey. I've made some advances but still having trouble | 17:51 |
| mbeierl | mMezquitale: thanks for responding though! | 17:51 |
| Scunizi | jj_: are they "gif" files? | 17:51 |
| Cyber_Akuma | how would you cleanup old kernels from your boot partition? | 17:52 |
| pol-ar | anybody know what this is: I/O warning : failed to load external entity "/home/pablo/.tvtime/tvtime.xml" | 17:52 |
| Peter1 | Why doesn't this script work? gksudo openvt -f -- `X :2 & '/home/peter/Programmering/Qt/asdf/asdf' -display :2`; | 17:52 |
| om26er | Cyber_Akuma: purge them | 17:52 |
| jj_ | Scunizi no its like windows 7 it shows 1 wallpaper but it changes after certain times they are def not gif's | 17:52 |
| Cyber_Akuma | How? | 17:52 |
| Scunizi | Cyber_Akuma: open synaptic package manager and search for them.. tag them to uninstall and apply | 17:52 |
| craig_ | hello, ive installed ubuntu onto a usb stick. but i cant get that usb to boot on another machine other than the machine i had the usb plugged into when i installed ubuntu. have i misunderstood something? | 17:52 |
| parolang | acicula: Well, I'm chatting from another computer since the system in question doesn't have internet. Not sure how to go about this other than retyping the output. | 17:52 |
| dAlfa89_ | !usb | craig_ | 17:53 |
| ubottu | craig_: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 17:53 |
| om26er | Cyber_Akuma: linux-image-2.6.tab tab and see what you want to purge | 17:53 |
| om26er | Cyber_Akuma: be carefull | 17:53 |
| Cyber_Akuma | just delete them? | 17:53 |
| Cyber_Akuma | I was told NOT to do that | 17:53 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | Cyber_Akuma, you want to delete every kernel but the one you're using. | 17:53 |
| Cyber_Akuma | I know that | 17:53 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | Cyber_Akuma, I keep one previous just in case of breakage | 17:53 |
| Scunizi | Cyber_Akuma: uninstall them.. leave the latest and maybe the one just prior.. you can tell by the numbering. | 17:53 |
| Cyber_Akuma | I was still told not to delete old kernels | 17:53 |
| Cyber_Akuma | ok | 17:54 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | Cyber_Akuma, well if you don't want to, you don't have to. | 17:54 |
| Cyber_Akuma | I knida do have to actually | 17:54 |
| Scunizi | Cyber_Akuma: they just take up space if you're not useing them. | 17:54 |
| Cyber_Akuma | the boot partition will only be 200 megs | 17:54 |
| Slart | Cyber_Akuma: you normally juse need the one you're running and the one that was before that | 17:54 |
| Cyber_Akuma | I need to keep it clean | 17:54 |
| rafiq | error:screen isn't composited.plese run compiz(fusion) or another compoisting manager...i want to AWN see some taskbar pl help me | 17:54 |
| Cyber_Akuma | 200 or less | 17:54 |
| BUBUNTU | SpaceGhostC2C firefox Crashes when i try to maximize the running video. someone suggested to replace the adobe flash plugin provided in ubuntu 9.10 with the official one | 17:54 |
| Scunizi | Cyber_Akuma: you can also sudo apt-get autoclean to free some space | 17:54 |
| om26er | Cyber_Akuma: but still more than 7 kernel can be installed on that much space | 17:54 |
| Slart | Cyber_Akuma: and if your computer is working nicely there's no real need to keep the older one neither | 17:54 |
| acicula | parolang: got an usb stick? just copy paste the output to a file and copy iut that way? | 17:54 |
| acicula | parolang: does it show eth0 or eth1 ? | 17:55 |
| Cyber_Akuma | I can't install the boot files on the same partition because of old motherboard limits | 17:55 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | BUBUNTU, the flash with fullscreen issue is ongoing. Let me link you the bug. | 17:55 |
| ctmjr | pol-ar: tvtime cannot find the .xml file it needs to load | 17:55 |
| rafiq | error:screen isn't composited.plese run compiz(fusion) or another compoisting manager...i want to see AWN taskbar pl help me | 17:55 |
| Cyber_Akuma | grub2 failes to find my linux partition because its past the 136gb limit and my motherboard dosent support lba48 | 17:55 |
| Cyber_Akuma | I amhoping a seperate boot partition will fix that problem | 17:55 |
| pol-ar | ctmjr, do I have to 'install' that file myself? | 17:55 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | How would I fdisk a SDCard to bootable in windows? It's for a bootable ubuntu | 17:55 |
| pol-ar | ctmjr, shouldn't it have come with tvtime's installation? | 17:55 |
| parolang | acicula: Yeah, I'll copy it over on a flashdrive. Hold on. (And thanks.) | 17:56 |
| pol-ar | ctmjr, what do you suggest I do now? | 17:56 |
| dAlfa89_ | Please don't say the floodbots are still going funky | 17:56 |
| BUBUNTU | SpaceGhostC2C should i provide u some details? | 17:56 |
| acicula | parolang: if you have a laptop try connecting it to the network connection to make sure its physically fine , im guessing you are using dhcp normally to get an ip? | 17:56 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | BUBUNTU, that would be incredibly helpful. | 17:56 |
| LjL | dAlfa89_: they never really have. they've been doing their job against attackers. | 17:56 |
| ctmjr | pol-ar: yes it should have created a default file look in the .tvtime dir and see if it is in there | 17:57 |
| mMezquitale | mbeierl, you could probably just cheat and install virtualbox and then use net meeting to login to the windows machine, that is what I would do anyway, I thought you could remote control a computer using Terminal Server Client, except off course the user at the other end has to accept the connection? | 17:57 |
| dAlfa89_ | LjL: So people are still trying to do their thing? I thought that was over yesterday.. | 17:57 |
| LjL | dAlfa89_: no, it happened a number of times today too. | 17:57 |
| Promit | ok, so i have ubuntu installed in VMWare under a Win7 host, and i can access its httpd and CUPS stuff -- but i can't figure out how to set it up as a samba server and see shared folders | 17:57 |
| Unruly-1 | BUBUNTU, you can try installing Epiphany Web browser on your Ubuntu and see if the flash content works without crashing, thats the browser I use more often when going to Flash-driven content on websites and it seem to work better than Firefox | 17:58 |

| pol-ar | ctmjr, the file is there. is this a permissions issue? | 17:58 |
| dAlfa89_ | LjL: I see, looks like we might be riding the floodbot floods again, perhaps | 17:58 |
| Glowball | I know Kubuntu has got a widget to check your pc's temperature, but how can I do it inside GNOME? | 17:58 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | Glowball, there are lots of ways to accomplish this, do you want a widget? | 17:58 |

| parrothead | i just got a new laptop and installed jaunty and the koala. is there some kind of "checklist" that i need to go over? like java and quicktime and all that other stuff? | 18:00 |
| acicula | parolang: you have an ip there, did you manually set it, can you ping 192.168.1.1 ? | 18:00 |
| Glowball | SpaceGhostC2C: Doesn't really matter.. I liked the widgets in KDE because of the plasma screen, I can just click to make them appear, and click again to remove it. But there is no plasma screen in GNOME as far as I know, right? | 18:00 |
| parolang | acicula: No I didn't manually set it and the ping works fine. | 18:01 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | Glowball, I don't know about that. You can use conky. Or screenlets. | 18:01 |
| pol-ar | ctmjr GREAT, you did it. | 18:02 |
| acicula | try nslookup www.ubuntu.org | 18:02 |

| sansui | can anyone help im having trouble connecting to irc.icq on Xchat | 18:02 |
| pol-ar | but I do get others.. | 18:02 |
| Glowball | SpaceGhostC2C: There's to terminal command to just check your sensors, without installing anything? | 18:02 |
| t0rc | Glowball, or the universal applets | 18:02 |
| Glowball | SpaceGhostC2C: I'm on smalband with 4GB download a month.. :$ | 18:02 |
| Scunizi | sansui: shouldn't it be something like irc.icq.<something> ?? | 18:02 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | Glowball, if you want something to just check there is lmsensors | 18:03 |
| sansui | idk im just copying the link from Chanserv on ICQ's flash app | 18:03 |
| mmalleis | so I am trying to use recode to fix a perl script that has funny endings. It wants to know from what format to what format. What should these be? | 18:03 |

| djustice | cptblood: remastersys. good luck. | 18:06 |
| Scunizi | cptblood: not sure which application.. but you're probably going to need a live DVD.. if you've added a bunch of programs etc.. the original live cd is packed. | 18:06 |
| parolang | acicula: It's small: domain commspeed.net / search commspeed.net / nameserver 169.254.1.1 (on different lines) | 18:06 |
| cptblood | yeah, it didnt work, wouldnt boot up after making the cd | 18:06 |
| cptblood | yeah, livedvd is fine | 18:06 |
| Glowball | SpaceGhostC2C: less than 200kB, even my download limit of 4GB can handle that. Thanks :) | 18:06 |
| parolang | acicula: We don't use commspeed anymore though. Should I change it to my new ISP? | 18:06 |
| mMezquitale | llutz, LoL so the message was for that person ok the same thing happens to me every now and then | 18:06 |
| acicula | parolang: yep | 18:07 |
| djustice | cptblood: mhm. then you'll have to read the LiveCDCustomization wiki page. and run the actual commands. | 18:07 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | Glowball, Anytime mate. | 18:07 |
| acicula | parolang: you can set that through network settings though | 18:07 |

| Pigflu | I only get a black screen when i boot | 18:07 |
| acicula | right click the network icon and choose edit connections etc | 18:07 |
| djustice | cptblood: if it wouldnt boot, there was a good reason. i bet. ;) remastersys is the only gui app for it i know of. maybe there was another... idk | 18:07 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | Pigflu, Thank goodness if you got those weird black screens when you had your computer off then something serious could be happening :p | 18:08 |
| cptblood | djustice: well, no errors were output when doing the iso, so i dont know what's wrong with it | 18:08 |
| t0rc | is there a way to make gnome-shell your default ? | 18:08 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | t0rc, yes. | 18:08 |

| parolang | acicula: Do you know where the field is to change in the network settings? I'm not fnding it. | 18:09 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | t0rc, by selecting it at login. if it asks you if you want to use it as the default you know the answer. If it doesn't then it should be already set. | 18:09 |
| djustice | cptblood: that's why the terminal is useful. you see more output. so you figure out what went astray. im making a livecd myself atm. ;) | 18:09 |
| ctmjr | pol-ar: you need to configure it but first you need to make sure you do not have to be root to run it do ls -la ~/.tvtime | 18:09 |
| mengu_ | Scunizi: i've found it | 18:09 |
| t0rc | SpaceGhostC2C, is it a good idea however? the repo version seems pretty stable...although I still question their use of JavaScript. | 18:10 |
| mengu_ | /usr/share/tomcat6 | 18:10 |
| cptblood | good, then hopefully you could aid me :) dont have the target machine myself here now, but i'd be pleased to hear your outcome djustice | 18:10 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | t0rc, what exactly are you talking about? The Gnome Display manager? | 18:10 |

| Crazyguy | owen1, it adds openvpn-support to the network-manager which is the network connection utility near the clock | 18:57 |
| python_root | !audio | 18:57 |
| ubottu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 18:57 |

| lobonegro_rlopez | Snausages: my GF isn't a power user or anything. She likes Ubuntu and she needs it for school | 19:00 |
| radioman-lt | ;} | 19:00 |
| kronix | cdamon, your chipset needs to support OpenGL if you want hardware support. | 19:01 |
| kronix | Oh. Um. You need drivers which enable OpenGL. | 19:01 |
| cdamon | how can i find out if my chipset supports opengl? | 19:01 |
| karma_police | the 9.10 desktop version works fine for me.. i have 1.5 ram.. thats the max for the acer aoa150 | 19:01 |
| cdamon | yes, how do i get the drivers? | 19:01 |
| kronix | cdamon, just google "[chipset name] OpenGL". | 19:01 |
| karma_police | if you have less than 1 gb you may want to opt for the nbr | 19:01 |
| bradpitt | lobonegro_rlopez : i think UNR is excellent for netbook. optimized for small screen like mine. | 19:01 |
| kronix | Where do Linux people get drivers from? | 19:01 |
| do0ob | cdamon: glxinfo after installing the correct drivers | 19:02 |
| Snausages | karma_police: didn't realize that was a differnce... I have the aod150 with 2gb | 19:02 |
| kronix | Oh. | 19:02 |
| kekale | karma_police, so it's mostly about memory? Also display, right? Gnome's panels get on the way a bit don't they? | 19:02 |
| do0ob | kronix: they're in the kernel, or come as a kernel module which you compile with the kernel headers | 19:02 |
| Hajex | iceroot : xlog takes 54 from cpu ?? what is that? | 19:02 |
| karma_police | i know the aoa will not boot with over 1.5 because of the chipset onboard memory | 19:03 |

| karma_police | aod may be different | 19:03 |
| iceroot | Hajex: you mean xorg? | 19:03 |
| Hajex | iceroot : yes | 19:03 |
| Crazyguy | owen1, hmm, I don't really know about that then | 19:03 |
| Snausages | karma_police: must be... I have a single 2gb stick in there and that's what it's been booting with since day 1 | 19:03 |
| iceroot | Hajex: its the x-server. its the gui of ubuntu | 19:04 |
| lobonegro_rlopez | yeah, just curious because Dell ships them with preinstalled software, I wondered if they were worth keeping | 19:04 |

| greezmunkey | jphillips86, check to see what IP port the winboxen are using... | 20:18 |
| Duergar | other than kbasic, is there a program out there to program in, compile, and run visual basic? | 20:19 |
| Wipster | My keyring doesn't seem to remember my always allow for evolution to access it, does anyone know how to make it remember, also when I look at my remembered networks the password is always blank, (always asks for keyring acces then too) | 20:19 |
| Sexraider | What would I use to go about burning a video file to a DVD and have it play in my dvd player? | 20:19 |
| jenda | Hi. Is it normal for exaile to be consuming, at times, over 80 or 90 percent of CPU power? (It seems to do that for a few minutes, than below 10 percent for several minutes and then it goes back up again etc.) | 20:19 |
| Crayboff | what do I need to do to backup sufficiently so I can put a clean install of karmic on my computer? | 20:20 |
| Crayboff | and maintain my current settings? | 20:20 |
| acicula | Crayboff: typically just your home directories | 20:20 |
| Younder | Yoshi1: you with me? | 20:20 |
| === ashmawy is now known as vick | ||
| DJones | Sexraider: I'd suggest using "devede" for burning video files (avi etc) to a dvd | 20:20 |
| acicula | Crayboff: some settings are put in /etc/ but i would not recommend copying those over | 20:20 |
| Sexraider | Thank you, DJones | 20:20 |
| jphillips86 | greezmunkey, I can't find it | 20:20 |
| kbp | does anyone know what is the dir of firefox on ubuntu? (the one that comes with the os) | 20:20 |
| vick | If you had a list of pdf files, what would be the best strategy to translate them ? | 20:21 |
| === b0w is now known as zz_b0w | ||
| Crayboff | hmm alright, would saved passwords in Firefox follow me over in the home folder? | 20:21 |
| greezmunkey | jphillips86, on the winbox, you mean? | 20:21 |
| Duergar | if you google it there's a way to backup your firefox passwords | 20:21 |
| neurodrone | anyone has worked with the write command on linux network? | 20:21 |
| neurodrone | like if you want to send a message to someone on a network.. | 20:21 |
| jphillips86 | greezmunkey, Yeah | 20:21 |
| Younder | greezmunkey, in ubunto do a 'ifconfig -a' | 20:21 |
| vick | Translate them as in from one language to another eg. French to English | 20:21 |
| greezmunkey | jphillips86, hmm, he's looking at a winbox | 20:22 |
| Younder | greezmunkey, the HWaddr thingi is the MAC | 20:22 |
| davide_ | does someone know why kdevelop doesn't compile and execute created programs? | 20:22 |
| bigmack83_ | how long should it take to partition an 890Gb partition to ext3? | 20:22 |
| neurodrone | any idea how to get the "write username" to work if the user has logged onto more than one tty's | 20:22 |
| neurodrone | ? | 20:22 |
| lstarnes | davide_: is build-essential installed? | 20:22 |
| llutz_ | kbp dpkg -L firefox-3.0 | 20:22 |
| greezmunkey | jphillips86, ok enter the properties page for the printer in control panel, printers, etc | 20:22 |
| acicula | Crayboff: afaik those are stored in your home folder under .mozilla/firefox something | 20:22 |
| jphillips86 | greezmunkey, I THINK it might be 139, I shared the printer from the Winbox to the mac, and it has 139 as it's port | 20:22 |
| Younder | greezmunkey, well in windows it is ipconfig | 20:22 |
| acicula | bigmack83_: awhile | 20:23 |
| vick | Is there any program that translate a pdf file from one language to another ? | 20:23 |
| davide_ | lstarnes: yes, it is installed | 20:23 |
| acicula | vick: google? | 20:23 |
| greezmunkey | jphillips86, it's attached to a winbox, not direct to the network? | 20:23 |
| kbp | llutz_: got it! thank you | 20:23 |
| vick | acicula, As in google does that or i should google it ? | 20:23 |
| greezmunkey | jphillips86, i get it... | 20:23 |
| === yoshi is now known as Guest30307 | ||
| acicula | vick: as in google can | 20:23 |
| jphillips86 | greezmunkey, It is hooked directly to the network via ethernet | 20:24 |
| acicula | vick: err as in google can translate that for you | 20:24 |
| xjk1 | About the pendrive problem I have, the full question and the demesg is here: http://pastebin.ca/1687260 | 20:24 |
| greezmunkey | jphillips86, look at one of your winboxes that prints to it over the network, control panel, printers, then enter the properties for the network printer, you should see what ip port it is set to under on of the tabs. | 20:24 |
| Crayboff | acicula: how do I go about backing it up onto my external harddrive? I tried dragging (gui of course) into a folder in my external harddrive however I get an error saying 'The folder ".dbus" cannot be handled because you do not have permissions to read it.' even if I run nautilus in root | 20:25 |
| Crayboff | in sudo* | 20:25 |
| neurodrone | write user [tty] <- is "write username [pts/23]" of the right format? | 20:25 |
| acicula | Crayboff: are you copying or moving | 20:25 |
| vick | acicula, Are you sure about the pdf ? or do you mean webpages ? | 20:25 |
| Crayboff | attempting to copy it acicula | 20:26 |
| acicula | vick: dunno , i dont see why it wouldnt be able to translate pdf | 20:27 |
| Crayboff | acicula: literally dragging it into the folder, doing nothing else. I do have other applications open, could that be a problem? should I log in as root to do this? I know that is something I probably should never do, but is it necessary in this case? | 20:27 |
| jphillips86 | greezmunkey, 9100 | 20:27 |
| Younder | acicula, translate pdf? | 20:27 |
| Younder | acicula, into what? | 20:27 |
| acicula | Younder: translate text in the pdf | 20:27 |
| Younder | acicula, forget it! get the source! | 20:28 |
| greezmunkey | jphillips86, now code that into your network printer settings! usually x.x.x.x:9100, or the like! | 20:28 |
| vick | ah yeah | 20:28 |
| acicula | Crayboff: its a permissions issue, you could try copying it as root , not really up to speed on backup tricks for ubuntu, i ussually just tar up my home and dump it back | 20:29 |
| vick | acicula, Thank you. | 20:29 |
| Younder | acicula, serosly these tools require a text format. and pdf is a binary format | 20:29 |
| acicula | does google offer their translation service as a service? | 20:29 |
| jphillips86 | greezmunkey, So when I add the printer via ip address, just include the port as well? | 20:30 |
| acicula | Younder: obviously, but you have been able to browse pdf as html for ages on google, so i dont really see why there would be an issue to brwose translated pdfs as html | 20:30 |
| acicula | just add more glue | 20:30 |
| Younder | acicula, by an embedded Adobe Viewer | 20:31 |
| greezmunkey | jphillips86, absolutely, or it won't work! | 20:32 |
| Younder | acicula, if it translated it to HTML the sure, no problem | 20:32 |
| acicula | Younder: less reads pdf, im sure google can | 20:32 |
| esde | !uptime | 20:32 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about uptime | 20:32 |
| Duergar | ok i rephrase my question, since it apparently doesn't exist. What is a programming language for ubuntu that is very close to visual basic? | 20:32 |
| Younder | acicula, igoogle does | 20:32 |
| Younder | acicula, ok ready for some programming? | 20:33 |
| jphillips86 | greezmunkey, Ok, I added that and it says connecting to the printer, but doesn't do anything | 20:33 |
| outlawz86 | hey guys i need help add a littley security to my account | 20:33 |
| greezmunkey | jphillips86, once you get it to work on you Linbox, you can rinse and repeat on the Mac's too. | 20:33 |
| Younder | acicula, this sortof task is what python was made for | 20:34 |

| Dr_Willis | Duergar: check out 'gambas' (or was it gombas) | 20:35 |
| greezmunkey | jphillips86, set your printer type up as AppSocket/HP Jetdirect | 20:35 |
| outlawz86 | how do i check to see what users are on my server exept for admin | 20:35 |
| Dr_Willis | outlawz86: try the 'who' command | 20:35 |
| Chewtoy | How do one go about to change the look of the login screen (GDM) in 9.10? The "Login Screen" in the Admin-menu does bollocks... | 20:35 |
| Chewtoy | It used to be so simple. :/ | 20:35 |
| Younder | acicula, again adobe is propriatary | 20:36 |
| Younder | acicula, so you need to pay backs | 20:36 |
| Dr_Willis | Chewtoy: its not as themeable as befor. You can change the wallpaper easially. but thats about it. | 20:36 |
| Dr_Willis | Chewtoy: its a work in progress | 20:36 |
| Chewtoy | :/ | 20:36 |
| Chewtoy | To bad. | 20:36 |
| Younder | bucks | 20:36 |
| greezmunkey | jphillips86, when you set up your printer, did you use AppSocket/Jetdirect first, and then select your driver? | 20:36 |
| Dr_Willis | Chewtoy: thers a tool called 'epidermis' that can chaange it a little bit also,. | 20:36 |
| FoolishOwl | I'm planning to install Windows XP and Windows 7 on a second hard drive. One problem is, my system clock is set to UTC. Has the bug with Windows failing to understand UTC been fixed, or must I change the system clock to local time? | 20:37 |
| outlawz86 | k my server has been hacked but i still have the root password.. how can i make sure nonone is on and nonoe gets on | 20:37 |
| Chewtoy | Dr_Willis: Is it able to remove the annoying drop down menu and replace it with a bar to type in the username? | 20:37 |
| Dr_Willis | FoolishOwl: ask in #windows about windows bugs? | 20:37 |
| heisoundfunny333 | hey i was wondering does anyone have great success with DELL PRINTERS AND UBUNTU? | 20:37 |
| FoolishOwl | Is there a #windows? | 20:37 |
| Dr_Willis | Chewtoy: not that ive noticed | 20:37 |
| lstarnes | FoolishOwl: ##windows | 20:37 |
| Chewtoy | :( | 20:37 |
| Slart | FoolishOwl: I think windows still is weird about the clock.. I've set my clock to autoupdate in both windows and ubuntu.. that usually takes care of it | 20:37 |
| FoolishOwl | Sorry, dumb question. | 20:37 |
| Younder | FoolishOwl, yes | 20:37 |
| Dr_Willis | Chewtoy: if you want you can install the old gdm. Ive seen howto guides on it. | 20:37 |
| jphillips86 | greezmunkey, Yeah, at least now it says "printing", but it is not doing anything | 20:37 |
| Slart | heisoundfunny333: check linuxprinting.org | 20:38 |
| acicula | outlawz86: drop everyone but your ip adress? | 20:38 |
| greezmunkey | jphillips86, give it a bit, it could be spooling in the printer... | 20:38 |
| Dr_Willis | heisoundfunny333: most dell printers are just rebranded printers by other companies | 20:38 |
| Chewtoy | Dr_Willis: All I really want to do is remove the drop down menu... | 20:38 |
| outlawz86 | acicula how do i do that what should i google | 20:38 |
| Slart | outlawz86: you could setup iptables to only accept network communications from your current ip | 20:38 |
| greezmunkey | jphillips86, you should have the option to send a test print page, did you try that? | 20:38 |
| acicula | outlawz86: or remove the machine from a public accesible network | 20:38 |
| Dr_Willis | Chewtoy: never bothered/worried about it. Only got 3 users here anyway. :) | 20:38 |
| Younder | greezmunkey, right click the name.. | 20:38 |
| Chewtoy | Dr_Willis: I got one. | 20:39 |
| heisoundfunny333 | i will try that a try Slart...... the printer willl sit forever and do no print ... | 20:39 |
| Younder | greezmunkey, if you are using XChat | 20:39 |
| Dr_Willis | Chewtoy: 1 user? So.. why not just set it to auto login then? | 20:39 |
| Chewtoy | Dr_Willis: Security reasons. | 20:39 |

| Chewtoy | Dr_Willis: I don't want people to know my loin name or my pass. | 20:40 |
| Ripp_ | Hi, is there a substantial difference between ubuntu server and just installing ubuntu with a minimal install? | 20:40 |
| Dr_Willis | Chewtoy: use a different login manager then, or install the old gdm. | 20:40 |
| Slart | Ripp_: I think ubuntu server comes with the server kernel.. but you can install that from the minimal install too | 20:40 |
| Chewtoy | Dr_Willis: Guess I will have to. | 20:41 |
| jphillips86 | greezmunkey, Yeah, tried test page, still nothing | 20:41 |
| DasEi | Ripp_: yes and no - you can add or remove functionalities each and eveery time | 20:41 |
| kharloss | hi . i want to export in a .txt file all files inside a folder. how can i do this ? | 20:41 |
| Ripp_ | Ok, thanks...i'll google how to do that | 20:41 |
| FoolishOwl | Slart: I'm leaning towards telling Windows to treat UTC as local time, if I can. Linux is the primary operating system on this machine. | 20:41 |
| Ripp_ | how does the server kernel differ? | 20:41 |
| Younder | greezmunkey, XChat.. | 20:41 |
| Ripp_ | just better performance for server apps? | 20:41 |
| DasEi | Ripp_: pae in 32bit, other libs for some net apps | 20:41 |
| greezmunkey | jphillips86: can you verify that your job is making it to the printer, like by looking at the programming for the printer? | 20:42 |
| Slart | Ripp_: no big changes really.. it comes with PAE enabled.. I'm guessing more priority to background tasks.. those kinds of things | 20:42 |
| Dr_Willis | kharloss: 'cd directory' them 'echo * > filelist.txt' will get ya a file of the filenames.. or use ls. | 20:42 |
| Ripp_ | ok | 20:42 |
| greezmunkey | Yonder: Just what is it that I am doing wrong? | 20:42 |
| Guest14226 | Younder: using the thing where it removes the auto gdm didnt work | 20:42 |
| Fatb0y | vnc sure has came a long long long way since i used it last. i am remoted into my ubuntu box now and the refresh rate is amazing compared to what it was the last time i used it quite some time ago. | 20:42 |
| Ripp_ | What does pae stand for? | 20:42 |
| DasEi | Ripp_: as said , can alter it (including kernel) at any time | 20:42 |
| Guest14226 | Younder: and the nvidia install wont run in recovery mode | 20:43 |
| lstarnes | Ripp_: physical address extension | 20:43 |
| === Guest14226 is now known as Yoshi1 | ||
| Slart | Ripp_: physical address extention or something like that.. to use more than 4GB memory on 32bit kernels | 20:43 |
| Younder | greezmunkey, you need a meny > view > user-list | 20:43 |
| Ripp_ | i see | 20:43 |
| alexandre__ | The AWN Manager won't open, anyone have an idea? | 20:43 |
| Ripp_ | ok, so not an issue since this is 64 bit processor, i guess | 20:43 |
| Yoshi1 | so i still cant boot my computer because ubuntu is stuck in a loop | 20:43 |
| Younder | greezmunkey, it is the user list you right click | 20:43 |
| Slart | Ripp_: then it's not an issue, no | 20:44 |

| Fatb0y | with the text based install can you specify which one of the disk that should be installed to during boot as the main HD? i think that is why my install disc keeps failing on one computer since the first SATA controller is not working but the last 3 are. windows will install fine on the box and i have ubuntu running virtually on it but i would like it to be the main OS. | 20:45 |

| Crayboff | guntbert: but since i'm planning on doing a fresh install, I figure that i need all of the files. i really don't know what i have to do for this. I just want to have a fresh install while perserving all of my settings | 21:03 |

| tarsin | hello, i just installed ubuntu 9.10. after the install completed and i rebooted the machine, the ubuntu loading splash screen is displayed.. and then it drops into the command line login, and the display flashes the login screen at about 500Hz.. keyboard input seems to not work quite right. essentially upon boot i cant get into the GUI and the display goes whacky. the GUI display was fine during the install. i'd like to boot into single user mode but when i | 21:04 |
| DasEi | Yoshi1: netroot for getting liked, ctrl-d , repair broken.. to get updates, then back in netroot (pwd this time), then call back | 21:04 |
| Crayboff | shit didn't know all this was hthere | 21:04 |
| DasEi | linked* | 21:04 |
| nomopofomo | Crayboff, you have to change the permissions of .dbus then, there's an option in nautilus to see all hidden files and folders, check that then right click on .dbus and change the owner from root to your user name but change it back afterwards... alternatively you can just select everything in there but .dbus... which is probably the better solution | 21:04 |
| guntbert | Crayboff: I said: you can safely ignore this one folder and its sub-folders | 21:04 |

| DasEi | Yoshi1: GeForce 8800 GTS it is, well I suggest to once completly remove all nvidia-drivers (you got drivers n modules mixed that can't work together) then re-install them again over the driver-menu from a running desktop | 21:39 |
| seanscot_ | when i mess it up it means back to square one and rebooting into windows , rebooting into ubuntu again , its a nightmare | 21:39 |
| Yoshi1 | DasEi: remove them how? | 21:39 |
| DasEi | yoshi1: check (following cmd will not change a thing but show ) that nothing else but nvidia gets removed : apt-get remove --purge nvidia* --dry-run | 21:42 |

| TommyBres | stupid question, i can't authenticate for root in terminal using the password for my account, how can i root | 21:42 |
| * TommyBres wants sudo powahz | 21:42 | |
| acicula | are you doing su or sudo | 21:42 |
| Jordan_U | !root | TommyBres | 21:42 |
| ubottu | TommyBres: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 21:42 |
| Flannel | TommyBres: You don't use root, you use sudo. | 21:42 |
| DasEi | yoshi1: if you just see nvidia-packets, same cmd again, no --dry-run in the end | 21:43 |
| CoverSlide | sudo su; passwd | 21:43 |
| TommyBres | lol ok | 21:43 |
| Yoshi1 | DasEi: yep just envy and nvidia would get removed | 21:43 |
| Flannel | CoverSlide: please don't suggest people set a root password. It's not supported. | 21:43 |
| DasEi | yoshi1: right then | 21:43 |
| Slart | ! supportroot | CoverSlide | 21:43 |
| iceroot | CoverSlide: never use sudo su | 21:43 |
| ubottu | CoverSlide: We do not support having a root password set. See !root and !wfm for more information. | 21:43 |
| TommyBres | ah i got it, thanks | 21:43 |

| seanscot_ | sorry , i just gave the description afterwards | 21:45 |
| CoverSlide | any other distro it wouldn't be a problem. ubuntu people are like "NOONE CAN ROOT! MUST USE VISTA-LIKE UAC!" | 21:46 |
| iceroot | CoverSlide: you dont need root, use sudo | 21:46 |
| iceroot | CoverSlide: and with ubuntu its not a problem too, but we supporters dont like it | 21:46 |
| epinky | seanscot_: http://twitter.com/liamgh/statuses/5254836167 | 21:47 |
| Flannel | CoverSlide: There's no reason for the root account to be enabled. When people ask "how do I become root?" it's usually because they're unfamiliar with sudo. | 21:47 |

| R1cochet | damn, im grabbing it now | 22:15 |
| VaultDweller | well divider, I keep trying to play a YouTube video and it keeps telling me Flash isnt installed. | 22:15 |
| VaultDweller | So, how can I resolve this? | 22:15 |
| divider | poul: I'd just use dsl or puppy on a usb drive. :) | 22:15 |
| divider | VaultDweller: because it isn't. you need to let it obtain the dependancy. | 22:16 |
| R1cochet | VaultDweller: does firefox popup trying to install it? | 22:16 |
| theneoindian | pls help guys . i'm in a real fix . i can't install some important packages | 22:16 |
| VaultDweller | No | 22:16 |
| CoverSlide | sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree | 22:16 |
| VaultDweller | The package installer that is with Ubuntu is installing it | 22:16 |
| divider | gerzel: alrighty then i'lldo some research. | 22:16 |
| hipitihop | I'm running Karmic on Dell laptop with ATI Radeon with an external 1920x1200 monitor with dual screen enabled but it only runs external monitor @ 60Hz how can I override this ? | 22:16 |
| ritesh | E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. | 22:17 |
| divider | hipitihop: what ati graphics chipset? what driver? | 22:17 |
| ritesh | what does this mean? | 22:17 |
| gerzel | divider: My main problem Is that I'd like to have a firefox window open on both displays and would like to be able to move a window from one display to the other. | 22:17 |
| divider | CoverSlide: that package is depreciated. It doesn't work with youtube. | 22:17 |
| jetscreamer | hipitihop: http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 | 22:17 |
| poul | divider: right, later | 22:17 |
| magdato | hello :), i have one problem, my notebook is a HP tx1332, and i cant use my microphone, it makes a weird sound, who can help me? | 22:18 |
| jetscreamer | ritesh: it means get an xterm or a console and run that command | 22:18 |
| VaultDweller | basically, it keeps trying to make connection to downloads.sourceforge.net | 22:18 |
| hipitihop | divider, ATI Catalyst , driver as per whatever upgrade decided iow, did not do anything perculiar myself... how do I list the chipset ? | 22:18 |
| theneoindian | this error shows up : The package db2exc needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it | 22:18 |
| theneoindian | pls help | 22:18 |
| Dr_Willis | !info db2exc | 22:19 |
| ubottu | Package db2exc does not exist in karmic | 22:19 |
| Dr_Willis | theneoindian: what says it needs that?> | 22:19 |
| VaultDweller | Thanks r1cochet and divider. | 22:19 |
| divider | hipitihop: terminal> lspci then look for ati adapter and some numbers. | 22:19 |

| theneoindian | yeah i downloaded it from ibm and tried . but it showed some error halfway | 22:19 |
| === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang | ||
| theneoindian | now i can't install or remove packages | 22:19 |
| theneoindian | everytime i use apt , i get that error | 22:20 |
| Digitalcheffe | anyone familar with likewise ? i have authentication working fine but trying to figure out how to set up Ad use with admin perms on the machine | 22:20 |
| jetscreamer | i'd try --purging it theneoindian but i'm not sure what you did to yourself | 22:20 |
| ritesh | jetscreamer, yeah i did... | 22:20 |
| epinky | theneoindian: sudo apt-get remove --purge db2exc | 22:20 |
| hipitihop | divider, ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility HD 3670 | 22:20 |
| theneoindian | i tried purging . again i get the same error | 22:20 |
| divider | hipitihop: ok so your chipset's not ancient. | 22:21 |
| divider | hipitihop: so that rules that out. :) | 22:21 |
| theneoindian | i don't know wat to do . | 22:21 |
| jetscreamer | !info xrandr | 22:21 |
| ubottu | Package xrandr does not exist in karmic | 22:21 |
| epinky | theneoindian: then edited the file /var/lib/dpkg/status and removed the lines about package db2exc | 22:21 |
| jetscreamer | ? | 22:21 |
| hipitihop | divider, wouldn't have thouhgt so, pretty new studio xps dell | 22:21 |
| theneoindian | epinky , okey gonna do that now | 22:22 |
| divider | hipitihop: when you go into the display tab under system>pref>display and hit detect displays does it detect both without any glitching? | 22:22 |
| hipitihop | jetscreamer, so your link applies to my chipset ? | 22:22 |
| hipitihop | divider, when I go there, it warns me that the driver does not appear to support certain extensions for th etool and gives me option to run the vendors one, which is where I can configure dual screen etc | 22:23 |
| divider | hipitihop: very strange. are you running the radeon hd or the ati driver from ati's website? | 22:24 |
| hipitihop | divider, however the Catalyst conctrol center does allow identifying screens and clearlu shows displa 1 & 2 | 22:24 |
| gerzel | divider: Should I check in with you later or give you my email? | 22:24 |
| Wipster | does anyone know how to make the Allow access to keyring program remember that I want it to always allow a program? | 22:24 |
| hipitihop | divider, not really sure, I certainly have not done any custom install that I remember | 22:24 |
| gerzel | Or what forum would you recomend me post my question to? | 22:25 |
| pq_ | hi how can I set up a masquerade for virtual network in libvirtd/kvm? | 22:25 |
| gammy | So I wonder - when will youtube work again with adobe's flash player? I see no solutions unrelated to compiz (I do not use compiz, nor gnome) about this. | 22:26 |
| hipitihop | divider, what's the easiest way to tell the driver being used ? | 22:26 |
| mat__ | Hi All. How is everyone? | 22:26 |
| divider | gerzel: i'd post it into ubuntu forums. I'm doing research on both you and hipitihop's problem, its almost the same :P | 22:26 |
| === mat__ is now known as MackRider | ||
| kensanata | A while ago I installed Ubuntu 9.10 on my iBook. Apparently Mod4+N inverts the colors of my current window and Mod4+M inverts the colors of my entire screen. Where is this keyboard shortcut defined so that I can change? I can't find it in System > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts. | 22:26 |
| MackRider | I didn't realize this nick was taken. | 22:26 |
| divider | hipitihop: did you ever run aticonfig | 22:27 |
| gerzel | divider: Ok I'll stick around for a bit more | 22:27 |
| Slart | kensanata: sounds like a compiz shortcut | 22:27 |
| divider | gerzel: does the NCP detect your other monitor without any issues? | 22:27 |
| Slart | !ccsm | kensanata | 22:27 |
| ubottu | kensanata: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz | 22:27 |
| kensanata | Thanks, all. | 22:27 |
| MackRider | Anyway. I set up and installed a fresh copy of UBUNTU 9.10 with hopes of running it as a web server for some of my local pet projects. I figured I would install LAMP, however in the software center LAMP is not listed. How do I install PHP, MySQL, etc. so that I can set this up as a web server? | 22:28 |
| Philosoraptor | why im the partition editor section of the 9.10 live cd, does it only give me two options: erase and use entire disk or manually partition. why can' I do the automatic partitioning? | 22:28 |
| gerzel | divider: I'm not sure on your terminology. I have both monitors working, I can move my mouse off one side and get to the other, so the computer has both monitors detected and displaying properly. | 22:28 |
| epinky | !lamp | MackRider | 22:28 |
| ubottu | MackRider: 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+) | 22:28 |
| gammy | . | 22:28 |
| gerzel | I just can't move windows between the two monitors. | 22:28 |
| Slart | Philosoraptor: isn't the "use entire disk" option the same as automatic? I can't really remember | 22:28 |
| divider | gerzel: okay so whats the issue? :P | 22:29 |
| Pirate_Hunter | I am following the ubuntu guide for installing and setting up ldap however on restart I get the following error 'Available database(s) do not allow slapadd' | 22:29 |
| MackRider | Thanks epinky, does this mean I would need to reinstall linux? | 22:29 |
| epinky | MackRider: not at all, check the link ;) | 22:29 |
| gerzel | I can't move windows between the two monitors. If i have a firefox window on one screen I can't move it to the other | 22:29 |
| Philosoraptor | Slart: no, I want to give it its own partiton, not erase my windows boot | 22:29 |
| solexious | Ubuntu keeps going to a black screen, then showing the login screen, when I login all my open programs are gone | 22:29 |
| gerzel | And I can't start firefox on the other cause firefox is already running. | 22:29 |

| DasEi | Yoshi1: still around ? | 22:34 |
| Yoshi1 | DasEi: yes | 22:34 |
| Slart | solexious: it sounds like X is crashing.. have a look in /var/log/syslog and see if it mentions anything around the time when it restarts | 22:34 |
| DasEi | Yoshi1: so got some xorg now, boot to root-cmd-line again | 22:35 |
| Yoshi1 | alright | 22:35 |
| Omen_20 | Slart, I'm suspecting Hibernate should powerdown the computer but it just looks like the screen goes black. No difference between it and if I walked off for 20 minutes. Does Hibernate not work on PCs? Just for laptops? | 22:35 |
| Yoshi1 | DasEi: netroot or plain root? | 22:35 |
| DasEi | Yoshi1: netroot | 22:36 |
| solexious | Slart: Will do next time :) | 22:36 |

| DasEi | Yoshi1:nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf , alter the two sections accordingly | 22:37 |
| subby83 | does that mean it will not compile e.g. configure | 22:38 |

| mangekyou | thanks :) | 22:39 |
| kensanata | Omen_20: On my iBook Hibernate will save state and power down. Then when I power up again, it will load state and crash. Then I get to power up again. :) | 22:40 |

| Cyber_Akuma | Installing a small 200mb boot partition to bypass some restrictions on my system, is there any reason to use ext4 instead of ext3 for this partition? Or would it make any difference? Ubuntu will be install on an ext4 partition regardless. | 22:41 |
| flan_suse | This is sort of both an Ubuntu and Linux Mint question. (Applies to both Karmic and Linux Mint Helena). If I install to an encrypted root (loading modules in a LiveCD session, formatting, etc), I am able to boot up and even get past Grub. However, it drops me to BusyBox (recoery shell) saying it cannot find device /dev/mapper/croot. What's interesting is that I can manually do "cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda7 croot" and then continue to | 22:41 |
| flan_suse | boot just fine into the encrypted root installation. | 22:41 |

| Yoshi1 | DasEi2: i understand how to edit xorg with nano i was wondering if i need all those modelines. i am typing this by hand | 22:50 |
| flan_suse | DasEi2, my problem is that I wish to install Linux Mint Helena (based on Karmic, Grub2) on an encrypted root, which tells me "ALERT! /dev/mapper/croot does not exist" and then it drops me to a recovery shell. However, in the recovery shell I can do "cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda7 croot" and then it allows me to continue booting with no problems. | 22:50 |
| CyL | epinky: thanks | 22:50 |
| Omen_20 | Slart, no problem. I was just curious. | 22:50 |
| flan_suse | DasEi2, is there a reason it won't do this automatically? Does it have something to do with Grub2 and not passing a proper option? | 22:50 |
| DasEi2 | Yoshi1: Is why I ask, why not ssh from the lap in it do it with full environment ? or use a usb to get it over.. | 22:51 |
| theneoindian | buddies , how can i install an old version of a package ? | 22:51 |
| flan_suse | DasEi2, on my netbook (Karmic, Alternate Install via USB), it asks for my LUKS passphrase when I boot up. But in this case, it drops me to a recovery shell and then I have to do it manually. | 22:51 |
| epinky | flan_suse: is crypttab configured? | 22:51 |
| Yoshi1 | DasEi2: usb oh shit yeah i could but would it work from a command line in recovery mode. the usb i mean. and this is a windows laptop :( plsu i am no good with networking | 22:52 |
| DasEi2 | flan_suse: did you change to encrytion later then grub2 was installed ? | 22:52 |
| Snausages | my netbook with 9.1 has frozen up while quitting out of a game. It's still responding on the network, how do I get control of my screen again? | 22:52 |
| flan_suse | epinky, it won't matter if it doesn't even unlock the encrypted root (/) partition in the first place. All it has to work with is the unencrypted 200 MB /boot partition. | 22:52 |
| flan_suse | DasEi2, no, all a fresh install. (I'm testing this in VirtualBox.) | 22:53 |
| crazyivan | hi | 22:53 |
| Yoshi1 | DasEi2: i am almost done the first section at this popint it would probably be faster for me to just hand input it | 22:53 |
| crazyivan | i need help badly, How do i fix error 13: permission denied | 22:53 |
| flan_suse | Snausages, the "dirty" way is to press CTRL + ALT + BACKSPACE twice. | 22:53 |
| flan_suse | Snausages, this will kill your session, and bring you back to the login screen. | 22:53 |
| Snausages | flan: no effect | 22:53 |
| MJEvans | Slart: Thanks, that's not at all where I expected to find it. | 22:54 |
| DasEi2 | Yoshi1: do as you wish, all is possible, mount a usb stick as ssh from windows (putty), but typing a half .. you're fast anyway , heh | 22:54 |
| flan_suse | Snausages, you're holding down CTRL + ALT and then tapping BACKSPACE twice? | 22:54 |
| crazyivan | who here has Crunchbang Linux? | 22:54 |
| alexlaban | Hello I got a serious problem | 22:54 |
| Slart | crazyivan: error 13? you take off the lid, remove the red wires.. fill it with some new plutonium and you're good to go | 22:54 |
| crazyivan | thanks slart | 22:54 |
| crazyivan | i'll do that | 22:54 |
| alexlaban | I just upgraded my server to 9.10 and now it freezes shortly after boot | 22:54 |
| Slart | crazyivan: of course.. you might not be talking about the same thing that I am | 22:54 |
| Yoshi1 | DasEi2: what do you mean mount a usb stick as ssh? | 22:54 |
| Snausages | flan_suse: yeah, just did it again | 22:54 |
| DasEi2 | flan_suse: strange then, I have few installs , worked flawlessly | 22:55 |
| flan_suse | Snausages, what about CTRL + ALT + F1? | 22:55 |
| Slart | crazyivan: but until you tell us where you get this "error 13" we will never know | 22:55 |
| crazyivan | no seriously I am unable to do a number of things on my Linux OS because it keeps saying "permission denied" | 22:55 |
| Snausages | flan_suse: ooh, that dumped me right out | 22:55 |
| flan_suse | DasEi2, yes, it works if I use the Alternate Install CD, but there is no such thing for Linux Mint. | 22:55 |
| CoverSlide | sudo | 22:55 |
| epinky | crazyivan: is it ubuntu? | 22:55 |
| crazyivan | i get it from the terminal whenever i try to execute some kind of command | 22:55 |
| kensanata | Slart: Well, at least I found the keybinding in CCSM > Accessability > Negative settings. | 22:55 |
| DasEi2 | Yoshi1: no , I thought of copying the paste-file on usb and then acces it on trml/root | 22:55 |
| flan_suse | Snausages, no it didn't. It just took you to virtual terminal #1. | 22:55 |
| Snausages | flan_suse: what's the right way to get back in? | 22:55 |
| alexlaban | I can't access it via ssh or anything and if I hook up a monitor, keyboard to the server I can't do anything cause it's forzen | 22:55 |
| crazyivan | yes a ubuntu distro | 22:55 |
| Slart | crazyivan: hmm.. no matter what? even if you just type nonsense? | 22:55 |
| Snausages | flan_suse: oh ok I remember that about linux now | 22:56 |
| flan_suse | Snausages, login on this terminal (username then password.) | 22:56 |
| crazyivan | lol no if i type nonsense it says command not recognized or something | 22:56 |
| Slart | crazyivan: ok.. but anything that would normally run something | 22:56 |
| Snausages | flan_suse: ok, what do I kill? | 22:56 |
| crazyivan | if i try to do something important, like check for system updates it wont let me | 22:57 |
| Slart | crazyivan: can you pastebin some example of this? | 22:57 |
| flan_suse | Snausages, type: ps -ef | grep Xorg | 22:57 |
| Slart | !pastebin | crazyivan | 22:57 |

| crazyivan | Im new to linux, how do I pastebin? | 22:57 |
| DjAngo23 | I need to help a friend with his windows computer, how can i connect to his computer via internet ? | 22:57 |
| Ddorda | how do i use convert and keep the names of the files? | 22:57 |
| alexlaban | This is why I always wait with updates, I thought it were safe by now but appearnetly not | 22:57 |
| DjAngo23 | the user is administrator | 22:58 |
| Slart | crazyivan: go to that webpage.. copy/paste the stuff you see in the terminal | 22:58 |
| flan_suse | Snausages, do you see a listing for tty7 and tty8? | 22:58 |
| crazyivan | ok give me a minute | 22:58 |
| cornflake | crazyivan, like control-c and control-v? | 22:58 |
| Cyber_Akuma | DjAngo23: virtual desktop or vnc | 22:58 |
| Snausages | flan_suse: that only found itself | 22:58 |
| Slart | crazyivan: when you're done just give us the url to the pastebin | 22:59 |
| flan_suse | Snausages, only one entry after typing that command? | 22:59 |
| crazyivan | Wow you gotta be kiddin me, it worked now | 22:59 |
| flan_suse | Snausages, nothing under tty7 or tty8? | 22:59 |
| crazyivan | I wonder what i was doing wrong earlier? | 22:59 |
| flan_suse | Snausages, then try this: sudo init 3 | 22:59 |
| Slart | crazyivan: normal support problem.. once someone is there to look at it everything behaves =) | 22:59 |
| Snausages | flan_suse: nope. I did a who and I see myself on tty7 but nothing from tty7 on that grep | 23:00 |
| crazyivan | indeed | 23:00 |
| crazyivan | lol | 23:00 |
| flan_suse | Snausages, after it switches to runlevel 3 (takes only a few seconds), login again, then type: sudo init 5 | 23:00 |
| crazyivan | thx anyways Slart | 23:00 |
| Slart | crazyivan: you're welcome | 23:00 |
| Yoshi1 | DasEi2: yeah i never even considered that didnt think i could | 23:00 |
| Slart | !runlevels | 23:00 |
| ubottu | In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. | 23:00 |
| flan_suse | Snausages, so basically "sudo init 3" then log back in again, and finally "sudo init 5" | 23:00 |
| Yoshi1 | DasEi2: done the edit now reboot? | 23:00 |
| DjAngo23 | Cyber_Akuma: And do you know where i can download that for ubuntu and for windows vista ? | 23:01 |
| Yoshi1 | DasEi2: man that was alot of tex but i have done more in my coding days | 23:01 |
| flan_suse | Slart, oh crap, my bad. | 23:01 |
| gdiz | does anybody know if it would be possible to do this (and if so how to do it): I want to ssh into an ubuntu box, open firefox via the shell session, have it navigate to a specified video page (hulu or youtube) and have it play the video in full screen. | 23:01 |
| Snausages | flan: after I did init 3, it just responded with a new command prompt instantly | 23:01 |
| Snausages | no delay. Do I need to log myself out? | 23:01 |
| flan_suse | Snausages, you're on Karmic or Jaunty? | 23:01 |
| Snausages | karmic netbook remix | 23:01 |
| flan_suse | Snausages, try again, but replace 3 with 1 for the first command. | 23:02 |
| Ddorda | hello. how do i keep the names of the files when using convert (ImageMagick)? | 23:02 |
| theneoindian | hey when i install a package , it says it depends on sun-java5-jre . but i've sun-java6-jre installed . wat can do about that | 23:02 |
| Yoshi1 | DasEi3: done the edit reboot now or ctrl-d and boot as normal? | 23:02 |
| Slart | Ddorda: you mean save the files with a new name once you've changed them? I think convert only changes the images.. it doesnt rename them | 23:03 |
| Yoshi1 | DasEi3: or something else/ | 23:03 |
| Snausages | flan_suse: that got me to a recovery menu | 23:03 |
| Ddorda | Slart: when i change a whole directory it gives the files numbers | 23:03 |
| Snausages | flan_suse: I tried to resume normal boot, it dropped me at a login prompt | 23:03 |
| flan_suse | Snausages, okay, and can you log in? | 23:03 |
| ShapeShifter499 | hi | 23:03 |
| flan_suse | Snausages, username/pass again. | 23:03 |
| ShapeShifter499 | anyone here heard of LUK? | 23:04 |
| Slart | Ddorda: hmm.. I think imagemagick has one command to just change the files "in place" and another command to change them and save them as a new file... or it might be a switch | 23:04 |
| Gaming4JC | hey all, I have a small problem with BZFlag (and some other 3d apps with -window option). My cursor get's locked to the window and I can't use Ctrl+Alt+Tab to access the desktop. Is there some way I can unfocuse the window without closing the application | 23:04 |
| Gaming4JC | ? | 23:04 |
| Gaming4JC | :) | 23:04 |
| Snausages | flan_suse: yeah, I'm logged in on the console now | 23:04 |
| flan_suse | Snausages, try: sudo init 5 | 23:04 |
| Snausages | flan_suse: does nothing, returns a prompt | 23:05 |

| Gaming4JC | ahem... -- Get back to desktop when cursor is locked inside of a window anyone ? :) | 23:08 |

| ShapeShifter499 | if I install the Linux Unified Kernel and not the wine package they have will it mess with my current wine install? | 23:08 |
| vashitn | erUSUL whats hould i asked them exacly "D | 23:09 |
| Slart | Ddorda: try using mogrify instead of convert.. I think it uses the same switches and stuff but works on the images in place.. make sure you have backups of those files though | 23:09 |
| xim_ | is it possible to take screen captures with gimp? | 23:09 |
| epinky | Ddorda: eeeh , better use scripting | 23:09 |
| erUSUL | vashitn: how to get into the recovery console of a windows instalation cd | 23:10 |
| Gaming4JC | xim_: GIMP doesn't take screenshots, but it can edit them. Gotta use another program to do the screenie -- since GIMP is only an image editor. :/ | 23:10 |
| Slart | xim_: File, Create -> Screenshot | 23:10 |
| erUSUL | vashitn: cannot remember how (pressing F8 during boot??) | 23:10 |
| Gaming4JC | xim_: ?On the other hand... :P | 23:10 |
| Yoshi1 | DasEi what do i after the restart command? | 23:10 |
| Gaming4JC | xim_: Going to check GIMP myself right now. o_O | 23:10 |
| Yoshi1 | DasEi2 what do i after the restart command? | 23:11 |
| DasEi | Yoshi1: did it bring you the desktop back ? | 23:11 |
| Gaming4JC | xim_: Yep, Slart was right. I didn't know that. :D | 23:11 |
| * Slart does a victory dance =) | 23:11 | |
| Yoshi1 | no it basically spat out some text saying other methods of starting gdm | 23:11 |
| epinky | Ddorda: find /yourdirectory -name "*jpg" | xargs -l -i basename -s ".jpg" "{}" | xargs -l -i convert -flop "{}.jpg" "{}.jpg" | 23:11 |
| epinky | Ddorda: or something like that | 23:12 |
| DasEi | Yoshi1: gdm restart | 23:12 |
| === mike is now known as Guest88755 | ||
| Slart | Gaming4JC: but to be honest.. I think Gimp just calls the screenshot tool that is available in gnome.. I don't think it does anything itself | 23:12 |
| === Guest88755 is now known as thepeon | ||
| Yoshi1 | DasEi2: that spat out some warning text | 23:12 |
| xim_ | Gaming4JC, Slart, hehe thanks | 23:12 |
| Ddorda | epinky: i've asked in #imagemagick and they told me to use mogrify instead of convert, thanks anyway | 23:12 |
| Gaming4JC | Slart: Interesting, I've been using it in Windows for some time and hadn't noticed it so you may be right about it using gnome. I'll have to check on my windows box some time. :) | 23:13 |
| epinky | Ddorda: ok, you're welcome | 23:13 |
| Yoshi1 | DasEi2: unable to find users then several falures then a max failuires reasched | 23:13 |
| DasEi | Yoshi1: try : exit, then resume normal boot | 23:13 |
| Yoshi1 | DasEi2: last time i did that it said it couldnt find a display | 23:13 |
| DasEi | Yoshi1: humm ? else reboot | 23:13 |
| Gaming4JC | Hmm... so anyone mind telling me how to unlock my cursor from a 3d window yet? Because whenever I open a 3d app I cannot access anything other than that window. Really lame, especially if the application crashes, then you gotta use a F1+ terminal. :P | 23:13 |
| DasEi | Yoshi1: you deleted or commented the older parts from that xorg ? | 23:14 |
| mrXX | can anyone guide me through setting up my gamepad in ubuntu - it is trust Dual gamepad | 23:14 |
| === klem_ is now known as gtrtx | ||
| Yoshi1 | DasEi i deleted them didnt occur to me to comment them | 23:14 |
| Yoshi1 | DasEi would it have saved the old way as a backup? | 23:15 |
| BenFrank | xim_: gnome-utils in synaptic has screenshot capabilities, may be in accessories | 23:15 |

| Bigbucks | hello | 23:17 |
| plitter | hello, could someone help me get a mic to work? | 23:18 |
| DasEi | subby83: yes, ssh with x enableb, or take a look at tightvnc | 23:18 |
| ShapeShifter499 | I like the current kernel I use in ubuntu, if I wanted to add a module to it where do I get the source for my kernel? | 23:18 |
| DasEi | !tightvnc | 23:18 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about tightvnc | 23:18 |
| Bigbucks | I want to make a file /home/serv/run.sh run every time I start Ubuntu Server. how do I do this? | 23:18 |
| mrXX | under lsmod i see joydev, is that my gamepad? there is nothing special in lsusb | 23:18 |
| subby83 | DasEi: but -X opens the window on my notebook and not remote, doesn't it? | 23:18 |
| epinky | Bigbucks: put that command on /etc/rc.local | 23:19 |
| mrXX | joydev | 23:19 |
| Yoshi1 | DasEi: low graphics mode errors are "problem parsing the confige file" "error parsing the config file" | 23:19 |
| Bigbucks | the command thats in run.sh | 23:19 |
| Bigbucks | or the location | 23:19 |
| DasEi | subby83: no, by ssh you log in remote-pc , x let's you start it's graphical app | 23:19 |
| mrXX | lsusb | 23:20 |
| DasEi | !vnc | 23:20 |
| 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 | 23:20 |
| Yoshi1 | DasEi: some of those lines of n the longer then a single line in the file | 23:20 |
| mrXX | anybody has setup joypad in ubuntu? | 23:20 |
| epinky | Bigbucks: does it have a #! on it? | 23:20 |

| Bigbucks | its just java server | 23:21 |

| Bigbucks | "java server" | 23:21 |
| DasEi | Yoshi1: how do you connect to inet ? via router ? | 23:21 |
| Yoshi1 | DasEi: yes | 23:21 |
| subby83 | I tried the remote desktop, the came with ubuntu, but it is very very slow and also very buggy, isn't it? | 23:21 |
| DasEi | subby83: so vnc ist what you want, or remote desktop | 23:21 |
| Yoshi1 | DasEi: but i did set my comp as the demilitarized zone | 23:21 |
| B3ns4ws0m3 | hey is there any type of thing that autoblocks ips in ubuntu 8? i cant access my linux computer from certain ips :( | 23:22 |
| epinky | Bigbucks: then include it, after that it has to be executable (chmod a+x) and add "/home/serv/run.sh" on /etc/rc.local | 23:22 |
| subby83 | DasEi: so you would recommend tightvnc? | 23:22 |
| tech404 | What's the best way to set up vnc between my home and laptop? Will NoMachine do a better job than anything I can do with OSS? | 23:22 |
| DasEi | Yoshi1:mind if I pm you ? | 23:22 |
| DasEi | subby83: yes | 23:22 |

| shentino | ugh... | 23:29 |
| Bigbucks | How do I call it there? | 23:30 |
| acicula | like you would from the console | 23:30 |

| LjL | acicula: isn't it /etc/rc.local? | 23:30 |
| acicula | its a shell script, probably best to use the full path to the script | 23:30 |
| acicula | LjL: err, could be | 23:30 |

| subby83 | biggerfisch: im not the expert at all, sorry, but for myself i first check lspci, so i threw that in ;) I just was curious if you could solve it :) | 23:32 |
| acicula | sumeetbali: have you inserted an sd card and its not being recognized or | 23:32 |

| sumeetbali | acicula, correct | 23:33 |
| toman | can sm1 help me ? | 23:33 |
| epinky | !ask | toman | 23:33 |
| ubottu | toman: 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. :-) | 23:33 |
| acicula | sumeetbali: can you post the output from dmesg | 23:33 |
| LjL | epinky: they did ask =| | 23:33 |
| acicula | toman: the problem is that it renders slowly? | 23:33 |
| sumeetbali | acicula, not sure what that means | 23:34 |
| epinky | LjL: oh, I'm really sorry toman, I did not see it | 23:34 |

| The_Journey | I need help, I cant hear anything from flash videos especially when I'm trying to play youtube videos, but my audio player is fine | 23:36 |
| acicula | sumeetbali: you type dmesg in a console and copy paste the output to pastebin | 23:36 |
| biggerfisch | VCoolio: trying to edit the saver just crashed it now | 23:36 |
| sumeetbali | acicula, nope i just plugged it in and nothing happened | 23:36 |
| Gaming4JC | The_Journey: Are you using the official flash player or a 3rd party open source one like swfdec? | 23:36 |
| VCoolio | biggerfisch: you can use gconf-editor, that won't crash; you can also edit gconf keys with terminal using gconftool-2 or something; but you'll need to know the name of the theme you want to use | 23:37 |
| Gaming4JC | The_Journey: the one from media ubuntu works for me. | 23:37 |

| Gaming4JC | toman: Cool, glad to have another Linux user. :) Sadly... I don't know whay your having that gfx bug. :s | 23:38 |
| VCoolio | biggerfisch: some themes to choose from are in /usr/share/xscreensaver/config it seems | 23:38 |
| Bigbucks | acicula: How do I Include it into the file? | 23:38 |
| subby83 | biggerfisch: or even better: gconftool-2 --set "/apps/gnome-screensaver/idle_activation_enabled" --type boolean false | 23:39 |
| Gaming4JC | plitter: Applications>>Sound and Video>> Sound Recorder. Then File>>Open Volume Control>>Input. If there's a Mic you can set it there and test it in the recorder. :) | 23:39 |
| biggerfisch | subby83: great thanks | 23:40 |

| VCoolio | linux: don't know, wouldn't do that unless you have sound issues | 23:44 |
| andre_pl | acicula: thanks | 23:44 |
| acicula | Rods_Tiger: i didnt know, did you try installing rails as a deb as opposed to a gem? | 23:44 |
| miromanyth | !fedora | 23:45 |
| ubottu | Other !Linux distributions besides !Ubuntu include: Debian, Mepis (using !APT); RedHat, Fedora, SUSE, Mandriva (using !RPM); Gentoo, Slackware (using other packaging systems) | 23:45 |
| Rods_Tiger | acicula: no, it's not recommended, because it's so old that way | 23:45 |
| VCoolio | linux: the extrasound one is for if you use esound or oss | 23:45 |
| acicula | ShapeShifter499: you made changes to the sources? | 23:45 |

| Rods_Tiger | I just installed it | 23:48 |
| ShapeShifter499 | acicula: no I want to have everything the Linux Unified Kernel has with the goodness of what the current Ubuntu Kernel has | 23:48 |
| trism | Rods_Tiger: the gem installs a link to rails in /usr/bin, so if that isn't there, the gem isn't install correctly...did you use the rubygems from the repo or install it manually? | 23:49 |
| Rods_Tiger | I did "sudo gem install rails" as I'm supposed to | 23:49 |

| chemjeff | Oh okay I found it | 23:53 |
| LjL | BlackDalek: unless they made things easier in karmic, you need to install the "irda-utils" package and then play around a while. "ircp-tray" is a GUI applet that might or might not let you transfer files | 23:53 |
| acicula | ShapeShifter499: dunno you can mix and match using git, but patching your own kernels together is not really recommended and well beyond this channel | 23:53 |
| mneptok | ShapeShifter499: you realize that when Ubuntu releases a new kernel you will go through all of this again? | 23:54 |

| mneptok | ShapeShifter499: yes, you could. and render your system to a state where it does not boot. for games. | 23:56 |

| trism | Rods_Tiger: I would try removing all the gems, purging rubygems and installing rubygems manually...that is generally better anyway because sometimes rails upgrades require a new version of rubygems which is not necessarily in the repo | 23:58 |
| Rods_Tiger | isn't that even more difficult than the situation currently is? I'm after a simple way, not a complicated way that probably won't work | 23:59 |
