| jonz | hello. I'm under the impression usually things aren't installed cuz they're not a unix standard utility. I'm reading about how to encrypt files and `crypt` seems to be the way, or `mcrypt`. however its not installed by default. is this cuz there's some other suggested way on Ubuntu? | 00:03 |

| mahngiel | mdg: hp pavillion zd7000 | 00:35 |
| mazda01 | Lamo, not sure then. i am guessing it's maybe because you had a previous formatted patition that you did with ntfsprog. just use gparted, and wipe out the ntfs partition you created. and leave it unallocated. then in win 7 install, choose that space to instal to. that's all i got for you | 00:36 |

| psyk | mahngiel: well i dont ahve any trubble whit my games, WoW, NWN and Fable. the games run nice and smoth. But it is just that damn VVentrilo for my raiding on wow :/ | 00:55 |
| VCoolio | mikejet: that seems not to work due to a bug; in ~/.gtkrc-2.0 put a line "gtk-enable-tooltips=0" | 00:55 |
| mahngiel | sebsebseb: thx mate | 00:55 |
| r00tintheb0x | Hi guys (and gals). I have to become certified in either the RHCE or the LPI by the end of the month, which would you say I have a better chance of passing? | 00:55 |
| ardchoille | mahngiel: The quickest way to make a new theme is to grab a current theme and make modifications | 00:55 |
| psyk | sebsebseb: ? | 00:55 |
| sebsebseb | mahngiel: np and quite a lot of good games for Desktop Linux, you just need to know where to get them from | 00:55 |
| nimrod0 | !encryption | 00:55 |
| mahngiel | ardchoille: yes, as is what i've been doing. | 00:56 |
| nimrod0 | !encrypt | 00:56 |
| sebsebseb | psyk: just trying to point out that Desktop Linux can also be good for gaming :) | 00:56 |
| ThePassingShadow | !kryptonite | 00:56 |
| mahngiel | sebsebseb: and you're right, that's the problem, i haven't known where to look, i've google and bing'd alot | 00:56 |
| CyL | nimrod0: maybe you could just answer me? | 00:56 |
| ThePassingShadow | <ubottu> Sorry, I don't know anything about kryptonite | 00:56 |
| Michalxo | hello! Help needed.. can ANYONE send me DEFAULT sources.list for karmic, pls? | 00:56 |
| LjL | ThePassingShadow: the bot is made to be used, not abused :) | 00:56 |
| mahngiel | ardchoille: the problem is with that, is if the theme i'm looking at doesn't do or have everythign i'd like to do, unless i look at the parent tree and have knowledge of all the widget classes, i'm left to only mod what i see | 00:57 |
| psyk | sebsebseb: ooh, y i know love to play on linux, the multitasking is so mutch better on this platform :) | 00:57 |
| mitrovarr | So I'm having kind of a strange issue... I just installed 9.10 on a laptop, and when I use a USB mouse, mouse clicks don't register some of the time. This also affects the trackpad. However, if I disconnect the mouse, clicks from the trackpad register normally. | 00:57 |
| ardchoille | mahngiel: may I pm you? | 00:57 |
| mitrovarr | Has anyone seen this before? | 00:57 |
| nimrod0 | CyL, I think this is what you're looking for : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedFilesystemHowto | 00:57 |

| mahngiel | ardchoille: ya | 00:58 |
| ShawnRisk | I can't connect to my wireless router. I setup the right settings and still can't seem to see the wireless network in my settings. Any ideas why? I am using 9.10 | 00:58 |
| Michalxo | is it possible, that I don't get SW updates for karmic, because of some issue in sources.list?? | 00:58 |
| mahngiel | lspci my friend | 00:58 |
| CyL | nimrod0: not exactly... it seems ubuntu 9.10 provides a third part app to encrypt user's data... I'd like to know how does it works... | 00:59 |
| xellink | hiya, where can i get help with cairo dock? | 00:59 |
| mdg | ShawnRisk: how do you check for the network? | 00:59 |
| psyk | sebsebseb: haha :D lovelyu aint using vt on ubuntu ? | 00:59 |
| mitrovarr | the issue with the mouse/trackpad seems to affect certain programs at a time but not others - for example, the top bar of ubuntu won't accept clicks, but say, firefox will. | 00:59 |
| sebsebseb | psyk: or it's an offtopic factoid that can also be used in here | 01:00 |
| mattwj2002 | hi everyone | 01:00 |
| mattwj2002 | I have a question | 01:00 |
| ShawnRisk | mdg: I added the connection to the network connections setting under wireless | 01:01 |
| psyk | sebsebseb: k | 01:01 |
| mattwj2002 | does anyone know of any blu ray authorizing tools for ubuntu? | 01:01 |
| sebsebseb | psyk: vt uhmmm remind me what that is | 01:01 |
| mdg | ShawnRisk: in a terminal try "ifconfig" without the quotes and you should see wlan or wlan0 if that's what you setup | 01:02 |
| psyk | Does anyone know how to get a shortcut for Ventrilo 3.0.5 in 9.04? | 01:02 |
| mattwj2002 | I want to make a video DVD that plays in a blu ray player | 01:02 |
| psyk | sebsebseb: Ventrilo | 01:02 |
| sebsebseb | psyk: for graphics card? hardware virtaulization? uhmm? | 01:02 |
| mattwj2002 | this is different than a video DVD | 01:02 |
| helluvaCSmajor | how do i stop screenlets from disappearing on clicks when they are in the widget layer, using compiz? | 01:02 |
| sebsebseb | psyk: oh some program? I don't know what that is | 01:02 |
| ShawnRisk | mdg: I only see eth0 and lo | 01:03 |

| mdg | ShawnRisk: what card you using? | 01:03 |
| sebsebseb | psyk: ok, well I was only really saying since you seemed to of put I wasn't using it | 01:03 |
| Rabbitbu1ny2 | Roasted: Terribly, look into ebox. | 01:03 |
| Roasted | rabbitbulny2 - Ive looked into ebox, but couldnt get it working. Webmin just... magically... worked. | 01:04 |
| Rabbitbu1ny2 | Ro | 01:04 |
| psyk | sebsebseb: oke oke, having major trubble whit it atm. cant make a shortcut from wine... | 01:04 |
| sebsebseb | psyk: I don't have Virtualbox installed right now, but the stuff for hardware virtulization has names to, that I can't remember right now, and I was thinking that | 01:04 |
| Rabbitbu1ny2 | Roasted: You're in the same boat I am then. The good software isn't supported and the bad software is. | 01:04 |
| sebsebseb | psyk: also mirc why? | 01:04 |
| sebsebseb | psyk: loads of good IRC clients for Desktop GNU/Linux :) | 01:05 |
| Roasted | rabbitbulny2 - whats so bad about webmin? I was quite pleased with how easy it integrates into linux, and disappointed with how ebox just failed to even function. | 01:05 |
| lostinspace_46 | When attempting to install Pango I get this msg. "configure: error:*** Glib 2.14.0 or better is required" I have glib-2.22.0 installed. Does this mean I have to make a .pc file for glib-2.22.0 and put it in my pkgconfig file? And if so, how? | 01:05 |
| mitrovarr | does anyone know about any changes to mouse / trackpad handling between 9.10 and 8? I used to have an older version of ubuntu on this computer that didn't have the mouse issue. | 01:06 |
| sebsebseb | psyk: maybe not as many as I thought actsaully, but quite a few good ones at least, Konversation :) a KDE app, Xchat, IRSSI a command line one, etc | 01:06 |
| ShawnRisk | mdg: I am not 100% on the name, but it is a DELL laptop | 01:06 |

| because | use ndiswrapper | 01:12 |
| mitrovarr | sebsebseb: So this has been seen before? Any idea if there's anything I can do about it? | 01:12 |
| mdg | ShawnRisk: I'll search the ubuntu forums... | 01:13 |
| vixus | grub seems to be using a menu.lst different to the default but I can't find it anywhere! | 01:13 |
| ShawnRisk | mdg: looking | 01:13 |
| sebsebseb | mitrovarr: ok just checked with the guy who told me about the issue, last night or whenever it was now, he put this in reply to me: synaptics regression yeah.. but check the bug tracker it may have been fixed | 01:13 |
| lostinspace_46 | mdg http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=885847 great tut | 01:13 |

| ubottu | vixus: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 01:14 |
| sebsebseb | mitrovarr: he only knows that it was a problem when 9.10 was initially released | 01:14 |

| git__ | vixus, u need to run grub after u edit it | 01:15 |
| Jordan_U | git__: Pretty much any video player | 01:15 |
| sebsebseb | mitrovarr: by the way the release notes mention common issues, for Ubuntu versions, and sometimes or a lot of the time provide solutions | 01:15 |
| axisys_ | vixus: you sure your os is not reading /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 01:15 |

| ShawnRisk | ok | 01:17 |
| Jordan_U | vixus: What version of Ubuntu are you using and is it a fresh install or an upgrade from a previous version? | 01:17 |
| helluvaCSmajor | i found a solution to my problem, but i cannot figure out how to apply this fix, can someone help me with this? | 01:17 |
| sebsebseb | mitrovarr: you can also put 9.04 on, or even another distro, if the issue bothers you a lot in 9.10 and you can't get it fixed | 01:17 |

| vixus | Jordan_U, fresh install.. did it ages ago | 01:18 |
| mitrovarr | sebsebseb: I'm not sure, but I think 9.04 might have had it too. I ran it live a couple of times, and I thought it was laggy at the time... the issue can easily be misinterpreted as lag (since you click and nothing happens, but you might click later and have it work.) | 01:18 |

| vixus | Jordan_U, it's ok, I just needed to run update-grub | 01:19 |

| sebsebseb | mitrovarr: or 8.10 or whatever hmm | 01:19 |

| rhorse | seravitae: don't do it | 01:20 |
| Acegi | I know I'm using emerald and compiz | 01:20 |
| seravitae | mdg - yeah, but not using 'server' per se... its just a standard hardy install but no X. | 01:20 |
| seravitae | ok? | 01:20 |
| Acegi | But something else is controlling the radio buttons, checkboxes etc | 01:20 |
| seravitae | ill read that link | 01:20 |
| sebsebseb | mitrovarr: well if your issue is there in previous versions such as 9.04, 8.10, or 8.04, hmm, maybe it's a general Linux distro issue, or it's not and you don't get the issue in another Linux distro | 01:20 |

| sebsebseb | upp: #qemu ? | 01:21 |
| mitrovarr | sebsebseb: It's not in 8.10. That's what I installed over, and it didn't have it. | 01:21 |
| h00k | I am on Ubuntu Netbook Remix and deleted the notification envelope, there doesn't exist an "Add to Panel" option, how would I get I get this back? | 01:21 |

| sebsebseb | mitrovarr: 8.10 is a good release, but unfortunatly the support for it is running out, but when it does 10.04 will have been released, which is also the next Long Term Support release | 01:21 |
| seravitae | mdg - i.. honestly i dont have a favourite CLI program | 01:21 |

| mitrovarr | sebsebseb: I guess I hadn't really anticipated this sort of bug from updating. | 01:22 |
| sebsebseb | mitrovarr: already said this earlier to someone or something rather similar, but i'll do it again, the ethernet in 8.10 woudn't work on the other computer, but other then that 8.10 has been a good release, but then I wanted Ext4 so bye bye 8.10 | 01:22 |
| sebsebseb | mitrovarr: sometimes hardware that worked fine, doesn't work in a later release, take that other computer for example, ethernet no problem in 8.04, woudn't work in 8.10 | 01:23 |
| Acegi | Anyone? | 01:24 |
| mdg | ShawnRisk: having any luck? | 01:24 |
| slayton | does anybody know how to autoidentify in xchat? | 01:24 |
| sebsebseb | mitrovarr: then hopefuly an even later release fixes the issue, which happended in this case, since it works fine in 9.04, not sure about 9.10 though since not tried from Live CD yet even on there | 01:24 |
| ShawnRisk | mdg: nope | 01:24 |

| jrib | epaphus: it's in the repositories but no longer installed by default | 01:25 |
| mitrovarr | ok, trying a fix. Rebooting! And thanks for the help | 01:26 |
| dox_drum | epaphus, you might install it from the repository | 01:26 |
| epaphus | why was it removed though? | 01:26 |
| mdg | ShawnRisk: I think you need to find "restricted drivers"... let me read further... | 01:26 |
| sebsebseb | epaphus: ,beause they think Empathy is better, plus that's part of Gnome, where as Pidgin is not | 01:26 |
| epaphus | empathy, cool id have to try it out | 01:26 |
| lostinspace_46 | slackd0Od look in help | 01:27 |
| lostinspace_46 | slackd0Od> it will tell you how | 01:27 |

| vixus | sebsebseb, once the file is the way i want, what do I do? | 01:34 |
| sebsebseb | IdleOne: I think them just trying to have a bit of fun here, but most lucid stuff is off topic for in here at the moment | 01:35 |
| sebsebseb | !lucid | geitenneuker | 01:35 |
| ubottu | geitenneuker: Lucid Lynx is the codename for Ubuntu 10.04, due April 2010 - Lucid is NOT released and is NOT stable - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 | 01:35 |
| Out_Cold | so what the heck am i missing?? I have VNC client/servers installed and running but I can't get any display.. here's some tries http://pastebin.com/m79cd127e | 01:35 |
| geitenneuker | yeah i know | 01:35 |
| geitenneuker | i said i installed just the kernel not the OS | 01:35 |
| vixus | sebsebseb, update-grub doesn't seem to have any affect | 01:36 |
| ShawnRisk | mdg: rev 01 | 01:36 |
| sebsebseb | geitenneuker: installing the lucid kernel into 9.10 is probably not really a good idea | 01:36 |
| RetianFes | Could anybody tell me how to install Mono? I've been trying to install it so that I can install KeePass, but everytime I try I seem to fail. http://keepass.info/help/v2/setup.html#mono | 01:36 |
| geitenneuker | yeah, but it works | 01:36 |
| sebsebseb | vixus: when installing a new kernel it should add to menu.lst, but that does not always happen | 01:36 |
| === m1dlg is now known as mdlg | ||
| chetnick | anybody knows any place to get sound themes, and how to change them? | 01:36 |

| ZaNeIuM | any other channels that support ubuntu, please. | 01:37 |

| Out_Cold | ZaNeIuM, what are you looking for? | 01:38 |
| sebsebseb | chetnick: this is not the only one | 01:38 |
| vixus | sebsebseb, oh jeez it was on another partition | 01:38 |
| mdg | ShawnRisk: what procedure you using to activate the driver? | 01:38 |
| vixus | sebsebseb, surprised grub isn't confused by two menu.lst files | 01:38 |
| sebsebseb | vixus: ah yes, I done something a bit like that before myself, or well like that before even | 01:39 |
| sebsebseb | vixus: yes I have had two menu.lsts | 01:39 |
| chetnick | ZaNeIuM: meant to se only one i know. | 01:39 |
| sumodumo | hmmmm for some reason i cant set my visual effects to normal or extra. | 01:39 |
| vixus | alright, disaster averted then | 01:39 |
| sumodumo | how do u open up compiz | 01:39 |
| sebsebseb | vixus: and then it kept on updating the one I didn't want it to with the new kernel entrys, but this was like three or so years ago now | 01:39 |
| ShawnRisk | mdg: all I did was go to the ubuntu cd, install the package, and try to use the hardware drivers under system >> administration. Afterwards I just hit activate on the driver | 01:40 |
| Tripados | hello all | 01:40 |

| vixus | sebsebseb, yeah, it's annoying but i had my menu.lst set up exactly how i like | 01:41 |
| imatech | !rdp | 01:41 |
| Out_Cold | vixus, it's sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade | 01:41 |
| ShawnRisk | mdg: nope it is another computer | 01:41 |
| mdg | vixus: you meant aptitude? or apt-get update? | 01:41 |
| sebsebseb | vixus: well if you clean install 9.10 or later, you will have Grub 2 instead by default, and your changes will be gone | 01:41 |
| Tripados | sudo apt-get update | 01:41 |
| IdleOne | vixus: update-manager is the gui app | 01:41 |
| vixus | yeah that's the one | 01:41 |
| vixus | cheers | 01:41 |
| sebsebseb | vixus: or later hmm well 10.04 isn't out yet, and I guess eventaully there will Grub 3 for example | 01:42 |
| mdg | ShawnRisk: try another reboot - let it sit off for a good 60 seconds | 01:42 |
| vixus | probably won't update til at least 10.03.. got my system set up nicely | 01:42 |
| vixus | * 10.something | 01:42 |
| sebsebseb | vixus: 10.04 you mean | 01:42 |
| vixus | yeah | 01:42 |
| Jaden007mi5 | i still dont have sound | 01:42 |
| vixus | alright, thanks guys. ciao | 01:42 |
| sebsebseb | vixus: well good idea to do a clean install rather than upgrading through 9.10, since (uh I put stuff like this earlier) that upgrade might go wrong | 01:43 |
| sebsebseb | and... and he is gone oh well | 01:43 |
| Out_Cold | anyone know what i'm missing in this vnc attempt? http://pastebin.com/m79cd127e | 01:43 |

| sebsebseb | ash-2plus1: wrong one | 01:46 |
| geitenneuker | assoguerozen_sx: yeah because it has to be compatible with an 386sx 16 | 01:46 |
| assoguerozen_sx | lol | 01:46 |
| assoguerozen_sx | pretty sux =/ | 01:46 |

| Black_Phantom | BobPenguin, thats really odd, maybe upgrading to 9.10 might fix the problem ;/ I think its a bug | 02:04 |

| ThePassingShadow | Whichever is possible | 02:05 |
| === tucumanoo is now known as argentinoo | ||

| ThePassingShadow | I installed kubuntu and it got messed up and wouldn't use GNOME | 02:07 |
| ThePassingShadow | I installed Ubuntu | 02:07 |
| BobPenguin | Thanks a lot Black_Phantom. I will try the upgrade right after I make some backups. Thanks a lot for the advice! | 02:07 |
| ThePassingShadow | And then deleted the Kubuntu partition | 02:07 |
| ThePassingShadow | But then it was unallocated | 02:07 |

| sebsebseb | ThePassingShadow: mdg Ubuntu is the base basically, and you can have Gnome, KDE, and XFCE and so on, all in the same install, one will be the default that can be changed, but you log in to them from the log in screen | 02:08 |
| sebsebseb | ThePassingShadow: Ubuntu/Gnome Kubuntu/KDE XFCE/Xubuntu | 02:08 |
| sebsebseb | mdg: ^^^^^^ | 02:08 |
| mdg | ThePassingShadow: you would want to boot from a live CD to try the resizing - you don't want file systems mounted when you do that | 02:08 |
| Burmand | somebody knows how to connect a nokia N85 with cable and connect to the internet? | 02:09 |
| ThePassingShadow | mdg: Oh, okay | 02:09 |
| ThePassingShadow | I should use a Live CD ? | 02:09 |
| decora | ThePassingShadow: BACK your shit up | 02:09 |
| mdg | ThePassingShadow: yes use a live cd - the program Gparted | 02:09 |
| decora | ThePassingShadow: if you lose power during a resize you are completely fucked | 02:10 |
| ZaNeIuM | Out_Cold: then you should have an idea what i could do to speed up my nic | 02:10 |

| floppyears | it doesn't bring up the dialog to reconfigure the package any ideas on how to get it to bring up the dialog? | 02:10 |
| mdg | decora: that's a hard lesson to learn aint it | 02:10 |
| ThePassingShadow | Trust me, I know I should back up my stuff | 02:10 |

| mdg | decora: ouch! | 02:11 |
| agorist | rhorse - great question. I don't know, All I know is that ubuntu's default reader kept crashing on me. Literally every 10-20 minutes it would just crash | 02:11 |
| ThePassingShadow | I installed Windows first | 02:11 |
| Guest34164 | anyone know how to download some form of msn onto ubuntu? | 02:11 |
| Out_Cold | ZaNeIuM, i am just learning like yourself. what I can share with others, and they do the same | 02:11 |
| ThePassingShadow | But in GRUB, Ubuntu is default | 02:11 |
| sebsebseb | Guest34164: yes | 02:11 |
| Black_Phantom | Timbauns, be more specific what distro are you using, and you can watch DVDs by using VLC software | 02:11 |
| sebsebseb | Guest34164: there are quite a few in fact | 02:11 |
| mdg | ThePassingShadow: is that the way you want it? | 02:12 |
| Roasted | Hey guys - I can't crack what's wrong here. I have 2 groups, both identical. One restricts users as necessary, the other does not. The GID that gets assigned to the one gruop is 1005, and 1007 for the other. The one with 1005 as the GID is the oen that doesn't work. Something is wrong with it, I have no idea how to troubleshoot it or reset it or anything. What can I do? | 02:12 |
| ThePassingShadow | I'm fine with that | 02:12 |
| rhorse | !libdvdcss | Timbauns | 02:12 |

| Timbauns | Black_Phantom: I installed the dvd player mplayer but cannot find its icon | 02:12 |
| ThePassingShadow | Like, either in Ubuntu or in Windows | 02:12 |
| ThePassingShadow | And not being wasted | 02:12 |
| sebsebseb | Guest34164: no need to pm for the MSN stuff | 02:12 |
| mdg | ThePassingShadow: it should be doo-able | 02:12 |
| Black_Phantom | Timbauns, what distro are you using ? | 02:12 |
| decora | Roasted try making a new group and put everyone in it | 02:12 |
| Timbauns | as i said 6.1 | 02:13 |
| Pmax | hi guys..can you help me? | 02:13 |
| ThePassingShadow | mdg: How do I do it ? | 02:13 |
| Black_Phantom | Timbauns, Ubuntu ? | 02:13 |
| rhorse | agorist: ok, one more Q: what version of Ubuntu? | 02:13 |
| Timbauns | Black_Phantom: excuse me? | 02:13 |
| epinky | !ask | Pmax | 02:13 |
| sebsebseb | !msn | Guest34164 | 02:13 |
| ubottu | Pmax: 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. :-) | 02:13 |
| hal | whats up pmax? | 02:13 |
| ubottu | Guest34164: The Instant Messenger Client Pidgin (formerly Gaim) (http://help.ubuntu.com/community/Pidgin) supports MSN, XMPP (Jabber, GTalk and variants), AIM, Gadu-Gadu, Novell Groupwise, ICQ, YIM, IRC and others. See also !Kopete | 02:13 |
| Black_Phantom | Timbauns, is it Ubuntu Linux ? | 02:13 |
| Roasted | decora - I did, and that works fine and that's all well and good. BUT any group that grabs GID of 1005 is problematic and I don't know why. | 02:13 |
| Timbauns | Black_Phantom: no linux | 02:13 |
| decora | Pmax: yes, i can sense a correct answer coming in from Zorgon, my partner on Algos 7 | 02:13 |
| sebsebseb | Guest34164: hmm well yes there's, Pidgin, Empathy, and Kopete for multi protocall | 02:13 |
| Out_Cold | ZaNeIuM, don't assume that because I don't know much about file transfers between different computers makes this my very 1st computer | 02:14 |
| Pmax | ah...ok...the question is: i've a problem with wifi signal. How i can improve it? On XP it's excellent but with jaunty it is not and i can't connect to internet. I've a netgear wg3111v3 usb wireless pen | 02:14 |
| decora | Roasted: whhy are your groups 'grabbing' 1005, tell them to stop | 02:14 |
| sebsebseb | Guest34164: if you want just MSN though, reply to me here, and I'll say | 02:14 |
| Black_Phantom | Timbauns, LinuxMint ? | 02:14 |
| Roasted | decora - just because 1005 would be the next available GID in line to grab. I know I can change them, BUT STILL, I dont know why 1005 is being problematic. I want to fix it. | 02:14 |
| decora | Pmax: do you get any signal at all? | 02:14 |
| Black_Phantom | Timbauns, there is no such thing as linux alone, there are distrubtions | 02:14 |
| Timbauns | Black_Phantom: What do you mean? I just want to watch a dvd! | 02:14 |
| Pmax | yes | 02:15 |
| Timbauns | Black_Phantom: u r kidding me? I am no noob, I know the os linux | 02:15 |
| decora | Roasted: you could run 'strace -f 2>&1 ' and use grep | 02:15 |
| mdg | ThePassingShadow: after you back up your stuff, boot from the live cd and find the app "Gparted" - just like the screen shot. Then click on the partition you want to work with and you should be able to drap the partition larger or smaller - it may take some time - usually does. Once everything looks the way you want, tell gparted to execute the reszining, etc. | 02:15 |
| Roasted | decora - what do you mean, and use grep? | 02:15 |
| decora | Pmax: are you sure your linux box even ses your usb dongle? does it show up in lsusb | 02:15 |
| GamerKnight | Hello people | 02:15 |
| gagita | my karmic doesn't detect sound hardware in compaq nc6230 | 02:15 |
| Black_Phantom | Timbauns, am not kidding you :) I just want to know whether I would give you the yum command or the apt command to install VLC so that you can watch DVDs | 02:16 |
| Spoofie | ␇ | 02:16 |
| Pmax | yes..the signal is poor on jaunty | 02:16 |
| decora | Roasted: grep for calls to open() and stuff that should fail with permission problems. run it on your 1007 people then on your 1005 people, compare results | 02:16 |
| ThePassingShadow | mdg: Thanks ! | 02:16 |
| ThePassingShadow | I'll do that | 02:16 |
| Spoofie | ␇ | 02:16 |

| Iowan | !hello |<GamerKnight: | 02:16 |
| ubottu | <GamerKnight:: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines. Enjoy your stay! | 02:16 |
| sebsebseb | Guest34164: your in luck, here's the info anyway. AMSN, and Kmess, and emescene (if I spelt that correctly) all of which you can get from the repo. There's also Mercury Messenger a closed source java app a bit buggy I guess really, that can support most of the Live Messenger features and some of it's own stuff. Plus there's a way to get a slightly older verison of Live Messenger working in Wine. | 02:16 |
| ShawnRisk | mdg: nothing is working. I was able to go into monitor mode and that worked to show me the wireless networks. I was able to not connect to any of them. Next what happened was I created a new wireless network and that worked but there was no signal. | 02:16 |
| Roasted | decora - Im sorry, but what command am I fully running then? | 02:16 |
| Jordan_U | Black_Phantom: It's usually safe to assume people in #ubuntu are using ubuntu :) | 02:16 |
| IdleOne | Black_Phantom: I think it is safe to assume apt commands is what you should give out in this channel | 02:16 |
| GamerKnight | Iowan: hey dude, whats new? | 02:17 |
| Timbauns | then I downloaded terminator salvation and now I cannot find mplayer icon | 02:17 |
| Guest34164 | thanks. | 02:17 |
| Pmax | what's puter? | 02:17 |
| Rajasun | Timbauns: you can watch your dvd after you installed ubuntu-restricted-extras and of course a media player e.g. vlc, smplayer, totem | 02:17 |
| agorist | rhorse - version 9.10. However, due to this, and some other issues, I'm now running 9.04 in the form of Mint (Please don't berate me) | 02:17 |
| gagita | GamerKnight: I dont see any hardware in my sound preference | 02:17 |
| GamerKnight | Timbauns: start the terminal and just type mplayer and press enter | 02:17 |
| Black_Phantom | Jordan_U, IdleOne ; ok thanks :) | 02:17 |
| decora | Roasted: what command are you wanting to fail with permissions blocking it? | 02:17 |
| Timbauns | GamerKnight: temrinal is anothe rdvd app? | 02:17 |
| sebsebseb | Guest34164: only one guy makes Mercury Messenger | 02:17 |
| mdg | ShawnRisk: hmmm.... | 02:17 |
| Timbauns | they told me to use mplayer for dvd | 02:17 |
| Timbauns | not temrinal | 02:17 |
| GamerKnight | Timbauns: what version of ubuntu are you using, and no terminal is the command prompt like cmd.exe in windows | 02:18 |
| ShawnRisk | mdg: I restarted and can see wireless networks now. I am going to try and connect to one of them | 02:18 |
| Timbauns | windows is for noobs | 02:18 |
| sebsebseb | Guest34164: np, but don't just go in to pm with people your wanting help from, many will find it annoying | 02:18 |
| Roasted | decora - the group in question is "samba". It's a samba group I created. "samba" is the group assigned to /media/storage, which is my network drive. There's a user I do NOT want in Samba, so that way he has no access. But he has access. And hes' not in the group and the permissions on the directory are 770. | 02:18 |
| Timbauns | I use linux | 02:18 |
| mdg | ShawnRisk: what kind of encription? | 02:18 |
| rhorse | agorist: ya, 9.10 is still kinda rough. I run 8.04/Mint Elyssa, cuz it's so stable. | 02:18 |
| roooooot | I just lost the game. | 02:18 |
| GamerKnight | Timbauns: Terminal = CLI = Command Line Interface = no graphics just text | 02:18 |
| emanux | hello, i cant burn using brasero | 02:18 |
| Odd13 | OMG i lost the game too | 02:18 |
| roooooot | Odd13: you're welcome | 02:18 |
| Rajasun | Timbauns: No. Terminal ala GNOME tErminal is the command prompt equivalent in Linux & other *Nixes. | 02:18 |
| epinky | Timbauns: vlc player will work most of the time | 02:18 |
| roooooot | haha | 02:18 |
| Odd13 | hate you | 02:18 |
| mdg | ShawnRisk: if you type "sudo iwlist scan" in a terminal it will also show your network, signal strength and type of encryption | 02:18 |
| Roasted | decora - 1005 Samba does not work. It doesn't restrict Fred, the user I want to be restricted. 1007 Samba does, yet both groups are identical, and Fred isn't a member of either group, and perms are 770 so he should have ZERO access since he would fall under all others. | 02:19 |
| Timbauns | O geeez I dont want to write a document I want watch my temrinator dvd | 02:19 |
| GamerKnight | Timbauns: listen to epinky vlc is much better | 02:19 |

| ctmjr | !dvds | Timbauns: | 02:19 |
| Rajasun | vlc sure is 1 pcs of work...can even do shoutcast radio and tv ;) | 02:19 |
| GamerKnight | Timbauns: you need to open the terminal first, | 02:19 |
| mdg | vlc rocks! | 02:19 |
| Timbauns | where can I download the temrinal? | 02:19 |
| GamerKnight | Timbauns: sudo is the command to run everything after it as the root user. | 02:20 |
| epinky | Out_Cold: just type: "tsclient" then enter | 02:20 |
| rhorse | ShawnRisk: it | 02:20 |

| Timbauns | is n sudo i security risk? | 02:20 |
| Roasted | decora - meaning owner has full rights, gruop has full rights, and others have zero rights. Owner is jason:samba, and fred is not a member of samba, and fred obviously isnt jason, yet fred can read, write, do whatever. But like I said, the other group hes restricted properly. I dont get it | 02:20 |
| GamerKnight | Timbauns: the computer will only do what you tell it. you are the secutiry risk | 02:21 |
| epinky | Out_Cold: what command are you using?, X Forwarding is enabled | 02:21 |
| Timbauns | ok then tell me how i can start chat as user and not as root | 02:21 |
| Pmax | no...now it says: Quality=48/70 Signal level=-62 dBm | 02:21 |

| sebsebseb | GamerKnight: they seemed to be a troll, I went through what they put | 02:25 |
| rhorse | well, just 'cd /usr/bin'. You will need to use 'sudo' before any copy commands cuz /usr/bin is root access only. | 02:25 |
| Iowan | mdg: Ohio? ;) | 02:25 |
| ShawnRisk | mdg: WEP and quality=64/70 and Signal level=-46 dBm | 02:25 |

| Out_Cold | agorist, also use the tab-completion when typing a name like /et*tab* | 02:26 |
| mdg | ShawnRisk: its either you adapter is not doing wep or you are just too far away from your router | 02:26 |
| rhorse | agorist: well, just 'cd /usr/bin'. You will need to use 'sudo' before any copy commands cuz /usr/bin is root access only. | 02:26 |

| Rajasun | emanus: brasero is working fine on my end. Could be an issue on your end instead e.g. wrong drive | 02:28 |

| Black_Phantom | There is a Mac emulator like wine for windows ( Just wondering ) | 02:31 |

| rww | agorist: "cd /usr/bin" | 02:32 |
| mortuis99 | rhorse i just wanna SshRED everyting in the dir not specific things | 02:32 |
| rww | agorist: cd stands for Change Directory | 02:32 |
| GamerKnight | Why is Ubuntu hosted on free node. its so errr arrrr, no ssh, no alternative ports, no mibbit access and this webchar.freenode.net is crap | 02:32 |

| mdg | agorist: hidden files in /usr/bin? | 02:32 |
| Out_Cold | oh lol.. | 02:32 |
| GamerKnight | that was a serious question? | 02:32 |
| ardchoille | agorist: You might want to spend some time here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 02:32 |
| gagita | agorist: as rww said then ls -lah to see hidden file and size of the file | 02:33 |
| rhorse | mortuis99: find will do that. give me a sec and I'll check the syntax for you. | 02:33 |
| agorist | rww - I'm familiar with cd. but when I cd into /usr/bin I just get a 'command not found'. | 02:33 |
| mortuis99 | rhorse TY | 02:33 |
| mdg | agorist: what command? | 02:33 |
| emma | rww: i think what i really want is a command line only. My objective is to install a bare 9.10 so that I can change the sources.list and upgrade to 10.4 | 02:33 |
| ShawnRisk | mdg: any other ideas? | 02:33 |
| agorist | mdg - ok, I obviously said something stupid. Never mind the 'hidden' part. I just need to get into the dir /usr/bin | 02:33 |
| Black_Phantom | GamerKnight, because they wanted to save time rather than building a whole new IRC server lol | 02:33 |
| mdg | ShawnRisk: hmm, you have driver installed, you can see network but cannot connect... right? | 02:34 |
| rww | emma: Try the Alternate CD, perhaps? I'm pretty sure you can select on there to just install a command-line system (ubuntu-minimal + ubuntu-standard, basically). | 02:34 |
| GamerKnight | Black_Phantom: but irc server takes like 2min to setup, there are 100s of other free irc providers out there that dont suck | 02:34 |
| === ganesh is now known as Guest85919 | ||
| emma | rww: right on | 02:34 |
| mdg | agorist: type: cd /usr/bin | 02:34 |
| Black_Phantom | GamerKnight, true, but I can't find a reason why freenode sucks? | 02:34 |
| mdg | agorist: then: ls -a to list the files | 02:34 |
| Guest85919 | my /var/log is having 25 gb... how do i clean it? | 02:35 |
| ShawnRisk | mdg: I connected once but that was before the restart. Now I can see the networks but the password or something isn't letting me connect. | 02:35 |
| GamerKnight | Black_Phantom: No ssl support, no alt ports, no mibbit access, and the webchat suck so bad | 02:35 |
| agorist | mdg - rww - gagita - rhorse -- thanks all. I found it. I thought I was in /home, but apparently I wasn't and I had to be in /home to get to /usr/bin | 02:35 |
| mdg | ShawnRisk: so its a wep issue... | 02:35 |
| Zabbadahu | I am trying to modify my xorg.conf for my video card but I am not able to find it | 02:35 |
| myk_robinson | owl_: no, not yet | 02:35 |
| decora | Guest85919: run a du -a /var/log | sort -n | tail -20 and see what is taking the most space. then less it and see why its logging so much | 02:36 |
| Out_Cold | epinky, that was done | 02:36 |
| Out_Cold | epinky, do you do this with a script? | 02:36 |
| GamerKnight | Black_Phantom: i use alot of networks that are locked down, and dont allow irc on standard port becuase of malware, and becuase the admin are * people. so i have to use this webchat or set up ssh to get outside the network. it drives me made | 02:36 |
| mdg | ShawnRisk: you are using the default wifi manager in gnome correct? | 02:36 |
| ZaNeIuM | [21:04] <Out_Cold> ZaNeIuM, not so sure, I don't use windows machines | 02:36 |
| agorist | Why are is /usr/bin under "file system" in nautilus, but under "home" in terminal? | 02:37 |

| ZaNeIuM | that is why i assumed | 02:37 |

| epinky | Out_Cold: just execute those 2 command lines | 02:37 |
| Out_Cold | epinky, i did | 02:37 |
| ShawnRisk | mdg: just the wireless thing at the top right | 02:37 |

| ZaNeIuM | along with this statment....[21:11] <Out_Cold> ZaNeIuM, i am just learning like yourself | 02:37 |
| Black_Phantom | GamerKnight, freenode is made especially for projects I guess | 02:38 |
| Iowan | Filmgeek: Give it a shot! | 02:38 |
| mdg | ShawnRisk: not sure about the bit part... | 02:38 |
| rhorse | mortuis99: "find . -type f -exec shred ’{}’ \;" without the quotes should do it. Run it from within the top directory you want to shred the files in. | 02:38 |
| Out_Cold | ZaNeIuM, wtf is your malfunction? | 02:38 |
| Black_Phantom | but I'm impressed by Mozilla how it has its own IRC server | 02:38 |
| Guest85919 | <decora>kern.log and syslog | 02:38 |
| decora | this is absolutely, categorically, indubitably, and unequivocally, the best place for a noob to ask a question | 02:38 |
| Filmgeek | I just downloaded and installed the wubi installer on an atom machine...upon startup of ubuntu I get dropped inot the GNU grub shell | 02:38 |
| Guest85919 | <decora>how do i less it? | 02:38 |
| Filmgeek | and it's stuck there | 02:38 |
| ZaNeIuM | Out_Cold: you kidding? | 02:38 |
| Black_Phantom | GamerKnight, freenode is like sourceforge but for IRC | 02:39 |
| epinky | Out_Cold: ok, now "vncviewer -via user@remote_host localhost:0" | 02:39 |
| decora | Guest85919: look at those files see why they are taking so much. tail -100 /var/log/syslog | less | 02:39 |
| Out_Cold | go troll elsewhere | 02:39 |
| ShawnRisk | mdg: I am just going to update all the packages right now to see if that helps | 02:39 |
| rww | Out_Cold: be nice, please | 02:39 |
| mdg | ShawnRisk: are you the admin of the router? You could go in and check the router and copy the keys? | 02:39 |
| Out_Cold | i am being nice | 02:39 |
| ZaNeIuM | your the one gripping, [21:13] <Out_Cold> ZaNeIuM, don't assume that because I don't know much about file transfers between different computers makes this my very 1st computer | 02:39 |
| Rajasun | Guest85919: 25 GB is kinda suspicious but for all i know you could be running a server. If you want the cruft removed, there are tools like logrotate, bleachbit, fslint. Install the latter 2 packages with aptitude or a package manager you like. Some handy commands to know for housekeeping is -> sudo deborphan | xargs sudo apt-get -y remove --purge && sudo deborphan --guess-data | xargs sudo apt-get -y remove --purge; sudo apt-get autoremo | 02:39 |
| Rajasun | ve && sudo aptitude purge '~c'; sudo apt-get autoclean | 02:39 |
| ShawnRisk | mdg: yes I am the admin. I am copying the keys | 02:39 |
| mitrovarr | Hmm... I tried some fixes for the mouse + touchpad issue but none of them helped. Does anyone have any other ideas? The issue is that if I connect a USB mouse, mouse clicks (with either the mouse or the touchpad) fail to be recognized some of the time. Disconnecting the mouse makes the touchpad work properly. Does anyone have any ideas? | 02:39 |
| decora | Guest85919: or even tail -f /var/log/syslog | 02:39 |
| ShawnRisk | mdg: just to tell you wired to the router works | 02:40 |
| mdg | ShawnRisk: An update is always a good idea. The only other option, which I highly hesitate to mention is going the ndiswrapper route, but since you can see the network at this point I'm leaning toward a wep issue. | 02:40 |
| ShawnRisk | mdg: I am using wireless on this laptop so I know wireless works | 02:40 |
| Guest85919 | <Rajasun> its a flesh desktop installation | 02:40 |

| epinky | Out_Cold: can you "sudo xhost + && sudo export DISPLAY=0:0" on remote machine? is X running on remote machine? | 02:44 |
| Leemp | Note this is just one specific folder. | 02:44 |
| lucasg | I am trying to install Xubuntu by making three primary partitions: sda1 as ext3 on /boot at 200 MB, sda2 as ext4 on / at 25 GB, and sda3 on /home at 100 GB.

| Pici | GamerKnight: This isn't really the place to discuss freenode issues, try #freenode instead. | 02:44 |
| lucasg | sda3 is ext4 * | 02:44 |

| Out_Cold | epinky, x is running but let me do those commands. i don't think the export command needs sudo though as i get errors with and none without | 02:44 |
| Black_Phantom | GamerKnight, check this out Canonical donated $2300 to freenode | 02:45 |
| epinky | Out_Cold: ok, then don't use sudo on export :) | 02:45 |
| mattjackets | Hi all, I have an nvidia card with twinview enabled. fresh install of 9.10. in the past I could force an application to open on a particular monitor by setting DISPLAY=:0.0 or :0.1. Now, with 9.10, DISPLAY=:0.1 is invalid. How can I force a particular application to open on a particular monitor? | 02:45 |
| GamerKnight | Black_Phantom: we should get ssl for that price | 02:45 |
| Black_Phantom | GamerKnight, LOL | 02:45 |
| Out_Cold | epinky, sudo xhost gives me unable to open display "" | 02:46 |
| Black_Phantom | GamerKnight, I think the new test network supports SSL which will replace this in the future | 02:46 |
| decora | lucasg: my guess would be grub doesnt know whats going on, maybe you could reinstall grub using a livecd | 02:46 |
| sebsebseb | Black_Phantom: GamerKnight old news that they donated quite a bit of money, whenever it was now | 02:46 |
| GamerKnight | Black_Phantom: that would be cool. i think it called testnet | 02:46 |
| lucasg | decora, I'm on the livecd now | 02:46 |
| sebsebseb | Black_Phantom: GamerKnight also I guess really it was Mark Shuttleworth since as far as I know Canonical still don't make a profit | 02:46 |
| Black_Phantom | sebsebseb, do you know when they gonna replace this one with the test one? | 02:46 |
| lucasg | decora, How/where do I install to? | 02:46 |

| sebsebseb | Black_Phantom: altough I am wondering why you copied GamerKnight with the channel name in a message to me | 02:51 |
| con-man | lucasg, hmmmm I didn't think Ubuntu blocked those ports by default. Which port numbers do torrents use? | 02:51 |
| lucasg | decora, I want to do that before I install-grubby? | 02:51 |
| sharpen047 | hey all does anyone know how to assign global hotkeys for rhythmbox in kde? | 02:51 |

| lucasg | emma, you're a girl, 99% of girls like that movie, so you don't count. | 02:52 |
| decora | emma: in my opinion 'buffy vs edward' is much better film (although shorter) | 02:52 |
| mattjackets | anyone know why DISPLAY=:0.1 is an invalid display under ubuntu 9.10 using nvidia twinview? | 02:52 |
| sebsebseb | Black_Phantom: sebsebseb: #ubuntu-offtopic | 02:53 |
| epinky | Out_Cold: anyway, you need to have an active X-Windows (Gnome, KDE or anyother) session already running before you fire up the VNC server, no matter if headless | 02:53 |
| emma | I can't imagine how you guys could imagine it being better than it was. It had pretty good action and decent visual effects. There were some moments that were admittedly sappy but that was not the center of mass of the movie. It was pretty cool I thought. As movies go, it's a movie you can unwind and be entertained by. | 02:53 |
| sebsebseb | !ot | 02:53 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 02:53 |
| Black_Phantom | sebsebseb, alright we are already there | 02:54 |
| decora | lol i derailed that silly torrent question | 02:54 |
| sebsebseb | Black_Phantom: ok, but there's some sort of movie off topic now as well | 02:54 |
| Black_Phantom | oh | 02:54 |

| obscure | If i run apt-get upgrade to update the packages on Ubuntu Server, (apache2, php5, etc...) do I need to reconfigure them? | 02:55 |
| GamerKnight | From corv-car1-gw.nero.net (207.98.64.177) icmp_seq=1 Packet filtered | 02:55 |
| obscure | my motd has this thing where it says there are a number of packages that can be upgraded | 02:55 |
| emma | What you are saying is interesting but not really on topic for a support channel. To find a channel related to ubuntu that is more appropriate for socializing, try /msg alis list *ubuntu | 02:55 |
| obscure | some are security | 02:55 |
| gp5st | anyone here using unison? | 02:55 |
| GamerKnight | any idea what Packet filtered means? is the firewall rerouting my traffic | 02:55 |
| gagita | no sound device in my karmic box, compaq nc 6230 | 02:55 |

| dhaivat | such as? | 02:58 |
| dhaivat | what gtk libraries? | 02:58 |
| dhaivat | and how do I shutdown x? | 02:58 |
| maco | dhaivat: is all your very important data in /home? because if you go to manual partition option when reinstalling and tell it to use the same partition but not to format, your /home is saved anyway | 02:58 |
| decora | libgio-fam for starters | 02:58 |
| maco | dhaivat: stop X using "sudo service gdm stop" | 02:58 |

| decora | how do you usually get it up? | 03:03 |
| thijs | quick question. how do i downgrade from 2.6.15-pae to 2.6.14-pae, i already got 2.6.14-pae installed, but 2.6.15 seems to be a little unstable. Can i boot 2.6.14-pae by default and delete 2.6.15-pae kernels? How ? | 03:03 |
| dhaivat | well, i normally don't have to in GUI | 03:03 |
| pc400 | Hmmm -- anyone have a Verizon wireless broadband card umw190 and get it to work? conneciton manager only finds hte "GSM" half of the cards (it's a dual-band card) | 03:03 |

| dhaivat | decora? | 03:04 |
| dhaivat | there is absolutely no gui | 03:04 |
| dhaivat | since when I try to run gdm, | 03:04 |
| dhaivat | it tells me the same error | 03:05 |
| decora | dhaivat: so how do yu connect to the network? wireless? do you hae an ethernet port on this thing? | 03:05 |
| lstarnes | dhaivat: do you have another desktop environment installed such as kde? | 03:05 |
| dhaivat | ethernet | 03:05 |
| Filmgeek | is wubi 9.10 compatible? | 03:05 |
| dhaivat | no, I don't have kde (i'm familiar with linux just for info) | 03:05 |
| thijs | quick question. how do i downgrade from 2.6.15-pae to 2.6.14-pae, i already got 2.6.14-pae installed, but 2.6.15 seems to be a little unstable. Can i boot 2.6.14-pae by default and delete 2.6.15-pae kernels? How ? | 03:06 |
| dhaivat | thijs: look into /boot/grub/menu.lst | 03:06 |
| decora | if you have ethernet.... why dont you have network in console? | 03:06 |
| dhaivat | I don't know! | 03:06 |
| decora | can you ping | 03:06 |
| decora | how about ifconfig eth0 up | 03:06 |

| decora | uhm... lastarnes asked a good q. do you have KDE | 03:11 |
| dhaivat | I don't. Sorry. | 03:11 |
| badcom-wrk | hello | 03:11 |
| decora | dhaivat: what exactly did you do in your IDE | 03:12 |
| decora | dhaivat: if your network wont come up in console your system has serious issues | 03:12 |
| DVader | does anyone know why gnome menu in 2.28 in the Karmic release refuses to display Type=Link [Desktop Entry]'s | 03:12 |
| dhaivat | well, i installed anjuta | 03:12 |
| mortuis99 | rhorse is their a way to remove the dir and sub dir names as well? | 03:12 |
| dhaivat | then it told me I was missing | 03:12 |
| dhaivat | glib | 03:12 |
| dhaivat | so I went downloaded and installed that. then, my version wasn't new enough for SDL support | 03:13 |
| dhaivat | so I went and compiled the new version of anjuta | 03:13 |
| dhaivat | then, it told me that I didn't have libgio updated enough | 03:13 |
| TPS | Is anyone good with dealing with unallocated space ? | 03:13 |
| badcom-wrk | EXT3 still is more used than EXT4? | 03:13 |
| dhaivat | so I did sudo apt-get install libgio-fam | 03:13 |
| decora | try apt-get purge libgio-fam | 03:14 |
| dhaivat | and then one or two steps I can't remember and then this happended | 03:14 |
| TPS | And wants to walk me through using GParted ? | 03:14 |
| TPS | Because I'm really confused.. | 03:14 |
| decora | if you look through the ~/.bash_history file you might find the 'one or two steps' you cant remember | 03:14 |
| dhaivat | okay | 03:14 |
| dhaivat | okay, I did that purge thing and there's still the exact same error | 03:15 |
| rhorse | mortuis99: yes, use rm -fr /topdir That will rm all dir's topdir on down | 03:15 |
| dhaivat | now, I'll look in my bash history | 03:15 |
| decora | yeah now get a new .deb of libgio-fam and install it using dpkg -i | 03:15 |
| Tripados | hello | 03:16 |

| pc400 | Can anyone help me setup a Verizon wireless broadband card umw190 in 9.10? | 03:17 |
| Guest81841 | well I managed to make 4 primary partitions but how do I do extended and logical partitions? thats the moot point | 03:17 |
| dhaivat | wait, what was the dpkg -i command? | 03:18 |
| raja | Guys when on UBUNTU 9.10 DO NOT USE EXT4 file system there is a bug that corrupts files above 500 megs use EXT3 file system here is a link to the release notes http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/910 | 03:18 |
| decora | dhaivat: if you dont have network, you can download the .deb package files transfer them over using a usb drive, then install them using dpkg -i | 03:18 |
| dhaivat | decora? | 03:18 |
| Snausages | pc400: I'm sure it's just a missing driver for the stick... once you have a driver vzw data works great | 03:19 |

| bigshot_ | hey decora | 03:19 |
| holmser | raja, I use ext 4 and handle 8gb iso's all the time with no problems | 03:19 |
| decora | it downloads the .deb to /var/cache/apt/archives/ | 03:20 |
| DanaG | weird... when xsplash goes away, it leaves behind uninitialized video memory. | 03:20 |
| bigshot_ | i enabled boologn | 03:20 |
| fedbn | Heh, this is pretty good: http://ubuntard.com/2009/11/choosing-an-os-is-not-a-team-sport/ | 03:20 |
| decora | from another machine. or you can probably get the .deb file on the web somewhere | 03:20 |
| decora | bigshot_: hello | 03:20 |
| epinky | soopos: you should check with "netstat -an | grep :[apache_port]" too | 03:20 |
| DVader | The Ext4 corruption is prob condition based, like dual booting or something | 03:21 |
| dhaivat | irssi error | 03:21 |
| dhaivat | r | 03:21 |
| raja | NO its if you do a FRESH install of EXT4 it will corrupt last files ... scroll down and you will see. IM warning anyone who has videos .. USE EXT3 for the time being. | 03:21 |
| assoguerozen_sx | canonical guys died? several days with no one actualization here @_@ | 03:22 |
| holmser | I did a format and a fresh install, no issues here raja | 03:22 |
| raja | <holmser> for your own safety you dont wanna wake up one day with ur files corrupted . its a bug under investogation | 03:22 |
| ShawnRisk | any ideas on how to fix wireless connection? | 03:22 |
| DanaG | where's this supposed corruption? I entered just after whatever you linked. | 03:22 |

| pc400 | hmmm, if I don't have drivers for a usb wireless stick for linux, am I pretty much SoL? | 03:24 |
| DVader | I'm saying it's prob triggered, might work fine. But you do a certain action like run a certain program, command or a certain system setup and the corrupt might occur. They won't know for sure until them can duplicate it and know what causes the bug | 03:25 |
| raja | <holmser> its up to you. :) but ive warned you and i did my job ;) i rolled back to EXT3 after losing 2 videos yesterday. and found out it happened to more people than i imagined. kit wont show up untill u reboot and u might find ur files not opening / corrupted | 03:25 |
| frogzoo | pc400: there are sometimes workarounds, google around | 03:25 |
| pc400 | been trying :( | 03:25 |

| dhaivat_ | how do I mount a flash drive in ubuntu? decora, I need help doing this from console | 03:29 |
| decora | run dmesg, it will tell you the device. then run mount /dev/whatever /mnt | 03:29 |
| Lapinux | anything i need to be aware of when trying to upgrade to grub 2? | 03:29 |
| iOmlette | Usually, it's something like 'sudo mount /dev/drive <mount point>' | 03:30 |
| Guest81841 | raja I put many large files on ext4 -- sadly seen the bug too late -- checking some of the files now | 03:30 |
| dhaivat_ | dmesg gives me a lot of stuff, what should I pick? | 03:30 |
| holmser | dhaivat, type sudo fdisk -l | 03:31 |
| holmser | it should show you your device | 03:31 |
| mitrovarr | I have a strange issue with my touchpad, when a USB mouse is connected. When a mouse is connected, clicks may not be properly recognized - sometimes nothing happens, sometimes the correct thing happens, and sometimes windows below the current window will interpret the clicks. Has anyone seen this before? | 03:31 |
| dhaivat_ | okay, how do I mount /dev/sdb? | 03:31 |
| mitrovarr | oh and if I disconnect the USB mouse, the touchpad will work properly | 03:32 |
| agorist | how can I make a 'shortcut' to an executable file? | 03:32 |
| rhorse | dhaivat_: use ls -lart /dev That will put the recent devices last, usually sda1 or sdb1 or something. Then you cann use sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /mountpoint. | 03:32 |
| holmser | dhaivat, make a directory in your media folder, eg mkdir /media/USB | 03:32 |
| decora | sudo mount /dev/sdb /mnt (or... if it has partitions like sdb1... sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt) | 03:32 |
| holmser | then mount /dev/sdb1 /media/USB | 03:33 |
| mitrovarr | is multitouch enabled by default in 9.10? | 03:33 |

| afallenhope | arquebus, yes to 0655 | 03:36 |
| afallenhope | then I tried 774 | 03:36 |
| raja | <Guest81841> Yeah .. you need to roll back to EXT3 when possible if you have too many big files. here is a better link. i hope nothing happened. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/453579 | 03:36 |
| arquebus | afallenhope: did you compile (assemble) the file? | 03:36 |

| dhaivat_ | how do I copy a directory to a flash drive? | 03:40 |
| dAlfa89_ | Now I know how much you guys hate Wubi, but why is it not uninstalling? Everything goes, but it's still throwing the entry at boot, reinstalling doesn't fix it, it just boots to an orangey picture, doing nothign | 03:40 |
| mahngiel | changeofheart: i said easy :P | 03:40 |
| dakota44 | I'm having some trouble with an ethernet matter | 03:41 |
| scunizi | tapiocapudding: root should be 8-12 gigs .. the mount point for root is represented by "/" .. swap or /swap should be 2x of your ram... and the rest of the space should be /home for your data | 03:41 |
| decora | dhaivat: you can use rsync -av /source /destination | 03:41 |
| raja | <Xodiac> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1335045 | 03:41 |
| tapiocapudding | yeah but if i do that, the BIOS can't boot off a partition that big | 03:41 |
| dhaivat_ | how do I copy a directory to flashdrive with command line? | 03:41 |
| raja | <Xodiac> are you using an HDA sound card? | 03:42 |
| dakota44 | I built a new pc and can't get it to recognize the onboard ethernet but when I plug a D-Link card in it automatically connects. What am I doing wrong? | 03:42 |
| tapiocapudding | it told me i needed to make a small partition that the bootloader could get the kernel out of | 03:42 |
| raja | <Xodiac> follow instructions i posted | 03:42 |
| Xodiac | raja: uhm HDA? whats that | 03:42 |
| afallenhope | nvm figured it out | 03:42 |
| Snausages | dakota44: has the onboard ethernet ever worked? | 03:42 |
| maco | Xodiac: high definition audio. its a very broad audio specification found in a LOT of laptops and as onboard sound on a lot of desktops | 03:42 |
| dakota44 | I don't know its a brand new mobo | 03:43 |
| decora | dakota: if the onboard works in windows... you probably need linux driver/activation (use google on your model numbers ). if the onboard doesnt work at all you miht need to enable it in bios | 03:43 |
| mahngiel | thinkin i need to restart... sys | 03:43 |
| scunizi | tapiocapudding: the mbr or master boot record that is written is actually pretty small. make the first partition should be root, the next /swap and last /home.. | 03:43 |
| Snausages | dakota44: any chance that ethernet is disabled in the bios? apart from that you're probably just missing a driver. | 03:43 |
| keiya_ | Uh, the darcs package pulled in postfix. How do I configure it in "I don't /have/ a usable FQDN!" mode? | 03:43 |
| raja | <Xodiac> your audio card. nevermind .. do you get the same noise when booting up? | 03:43 |
| Xodiac | maco: yeah i think it is this laptop is fairly new | 03:43 |
| Xodiac | raja: no | 03:43 |
| maco | keiya_: you could just remove postfix if you like... | 03:43 |
| dakota44 | I loaded ubuntu before the drivers because they are windows only | 03:43 |
| ulb | this is not directly an ubuntu question..but doesanybody know if there is a way (a scritp or apache module) to build .deb files server side? I was thinkinging about starting a website with gimp brushes/patterns and wanted peopel to be able to drag and drop different selcted brushes and build a deb file to download. | 03:43 |
| dakota44 | how do I load drivers for the bios now | 03:43 |
| maco | raja: might want to leave off the < > as thats not part of Xodiac's name | 03:43 |
| Xodiac | raja: just during like open arena and other games | 03:43 |
| keiya_ | Should I just hit local only? | 03:43 |
| afallenhope | arquebus, I had to change the elf to elf64 | 03:43 |
| keiya_ | maco: But I need darcs, and it apparently depends on postfix... >_> | 03:44 |
| afallenhope | decora ^^ | 03:44 |
| scunizi | tapiocapudding: did this drive use to have windows on it? | 03:44 |
| tapiocapudding | no it was clean | 03:44 |
| Khul | heya, question: i get this error while compiling Icecast2 from sources: checking for xslt-config... no ///// configure: error: XSLT configuration could not be found //// any1 knows how to fix such thing ? | 03:44 |
| Xodiac | raja: so just delete the power_save=10 | 03:44 |
| maco | keiya_: nah, just recommends it. not a dependency | 03:44 |
| raja | <Xodiac> oh. you can still try that trick. it takes 10 seconds to do . if it doesnt work. dont worry your not changing any system settings | 03:44 |
| Snausages | dakota44: find out what kind of ethernet is built in, and google around... maybe try "(ethernet chipset) ubuntu howto" | 03:44 |
| raja | yeah try it | 03:44 |
| scunizi | tapiocapudding: how big and is it sata or ide? | 03:44 |
| decora | ulb: yeah look at the debuild command | 03:44 |
| Xodiac | raja:k | 03:45 |
| maco | keiya_: a fair number of packages recommnd postfix that dont actually need it, as long as you dont intend to send mail from them | 03:45 |
| raja | <Xodiac> and reboot | 03:45 |
| tapiocapudding | 160 gig sata | 03:45 |
| keiya_ | maco: Ah... >_> | 03:45 |
| raja | <Xodiac> come back to tell us how it went :) | 03:45 |
| Xodiac | raja: okay brb | 03:45 |
| tapiocapudding | wait, no | 03:45 |
| tapiocapudding | ide | 03:45 |
| tapiocapudding | sorry | 03:45 |
| scunizi | tapiocapudding: that shouldn't be a problem. | 03:45 |
| arquebus | afallenhope: I had a feeling it had to do with compile options | 03:45 |
| dakota44 | ok, thank you - this is all new to me and stumbled upon the Xchat via ubuntu help page | 03:45 |
| dennis00 | xChat for windows costs money :-( | 03:45 |
| scunizi | tapiocapudding: that shouldn't be an issue either... | 03:45 |
| keiya_ | maco: That seems like a bad idea, since the postfix configuration thing doesn't have a set of options for the typical case anymore >_> | 03:45 |
| afallenhope | arquebus, yeah lol sorry | 03:45 |
| switch263 | okay. any easy way to fix the bootloader now that apparently karmic doesnt use grub? | 03:45 |
| Snausages | dakota44: no worries, you're making a fine go of it so far... | 03:45 |
| scunizi | dennis00: google. xchat2 | 03:46 |
| decora | karmic doesnt use grub? | 03:46 |
| keiya_ | And is nonfree. | 03:46 |
| maco | dennis00: silverex.org has it free | 03:46 |
| scottandmonique | it does so | 03:46 |
| dakota44 | thanx to all, I'm sure I'll be visiting again | 03:46 |
| sebsebseb | !grub2 | decora | 03:46 |
| ubottu | decora: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 03:46 |
| ulb | decora: is that part of devscripts package? | 03:46 |
| maco | decora: it uses grub2, which is the grub-pc package | 03:46 |
| twist_ | Hallo | 03:46 |
| keiya_ | The silverex build isn't encumbered | 03:46 |
| scottandmonique | karmic has grub | 03:46 |
| switch263 | decora, i attempted to use a usb tool to boot and fix grub, and it bitches about not finding the grub confs | 03:46 |
| dennis00 | thanks so much. | 03:46 |
| scottandmonique | what else would it use | 03:46 |
| keiya_ | maco: Still, what do I do for now? >_< | 03:46 |
| sebsebseb | scottandmonique: lillo? | 03:46 |
| keiya_ | Just push cancel, maybe? | 03:46 |
| maco | keiya_: i would let the install finish then remove postfix | 03:47 |
| decora | ulb: uhmm i dont know, google for debuild ... it is how they make .deb packages | 03:47 |
| keiya_ | It doesn't let me do that... | 03:47 |
| scottandmonique | it does not use lilo | 03:47 |
| ardchoille | Karmic uses grub2 | 03:47 |
| ulb | k, ty | 03:47 |
| sebsebseb | scottandmonique: not by default no, but it could use it | 03:47 |
| maco | keiya_: "sudo apt-get remove postfix" doesnt work? | 03:47 |
| keiya_ | maco: I'm at a configuration screen... | 03:47 |
| keiya_ | maco: Not while I'm not at a command line! | 03:47 |
| tapiocapudding | so about how big should i make the /boot partition for kubuntu | 03:47 |
| maco | keiya_: it has a "dont configure" doesnt it? | 03:47 |
| sebsebseb | scottandmonique: plus didn't you ask what it could use instead of Grub? | 03:47 |
| keiya_ | Oh. Right >_< | 03:47 |
| * keiya_ duhs | 03:47 | |
| scunizi | tapiocapudding: don't make a seperate /boot partition | 03:47 |
| decora | switch263: you might hae to regenerate the grub config file thingy i forget the command... g | 03:48 |
| keiya_ | Why doesn't it select that if I hit cancel? | 03:48 |
| ardchoille | !grub2 | 03:48 |
| ubottu | GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 03:48 |
| maco | keiya_: probably some silly limitation of debconf | 03:48 |
| Xodiac | raja: dang much better | 03:48 |
| myk_robinson | I need some help with newsgroups if anyone would care to private chat for a minute. | 03:48 |
| sebsebseb | scottandmonique: you didn't need to just pm me with that, this factoid explains it | 03:48 |

| ubottu | scottandmonique: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. | 03:48 |

| decora | switch263: update-grub. also did you do the mount -o bind /dev /mnt/dev before chroot? | 03:49 |
| raja | <Xodiac> please leave a feedback on the forum i gave you :) i posted it | 03:49 |
| dhaivat_ | I have a question about 9.10 | 03:49 |

| Xodiac | raja: what do i say lol | 03:49 |
| dhaivat_ | or does it have lots of problems?\ | 03:49 |
| raja | no problem man | 03:49 |
| switch263 | decora, i installed windows, and it broke the bootloader. so now i'm trying to fix it. | 03:49 |
| switch263 | i was able to boot to linux using the usb tool, it just didnt know how to fix it | 03:49 |
| myk_robinson | very well. I just joined Astraweb and am using SABnzbd+ in Ubuntu. Need some assistance understanding how to join newsgroups. I also have Pan installed. | 03:49 |
| tapiocapudding | ok, so the root partition should use what filesystem? | 03:50 |
| rstob911 | dhaivat_: just stick around and you will see for yourself | 03:50 |
| dhaivat_ | okay. | 03:50 |
| sebsebseb | scottandmonique: Grub legacy is what versions of Ubuntu use before Karmic, Karmic uses Grub 2. well on a clean install, upgrades from 9.04 will usually have Grub legacy | 03:50 |
| myk_robinson | ..shouldnt be difficult, must be missing something blatantly obvious | 03:50 |
| raja | <Xodiac> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1335045 no problem man. im glad i helped you :) | 03:50 |
| raja | <Xodiac> just say it wokred for you :) so people wont be scared to try my fix ;) | 03:50 |
| Xodiac | raja: have a good one and i will definatly post | 03:50 |
| decora | switch263: is there like a 'repair' option on the ubuntnu livecd | 03:50 |
| switch263 | yeah but i havent tried it yet, i'll go do that | 03:51 |
| switch263 | thx | 03:51 |
| raja | <Xodiac> your welcomed | 03:51 |
| kb9vqf | Anyone else noticed long-term NFS instability in Karmic? | 03:52 |
| kb9vqf | Usually ending with a frozen filesystem and the process accessing the disk, but sometimes even a kernel freeze (not panic, oddly enough)? | 03:52 |
| gagita | no sound device in my karmic box, compaq nc 6230 | 03:52 |
| gagita | need help to fix | 03:52 |
| maco | gagita: upgrade? | 03:52 |
| gagita | please | 03:52 |
| decora | linux doesn't freeze! obviously you are trapped in a space-time phase anomaly | 03:52 |
| maco | gagita: was it an upgrade from jaunty? | 03:52 |
| gagita | maco: no fresh instsall | 03:53 |
| maco | gagita: ok then my idea's out | 03:53 |
| scottandmonique | sebsebseb the original statment is that karmic does not use grub <decora> karmic doesnt use grub? | 03:53 |
| epinky | kb9vqf: RPC sometimes freezes :) , not a Karmic issue | 03:53 |
| Crash8308 | what is the best looking linux game available to date? | 03:53 |
| scottandmonique | but it does | 03:53 |
| sebsebseb | scottandmonique: Karmic uses Grub 2, not Grub | 03:54 |
| kb9vqf | epinky: I've had the whole box go down, just the networkging go down, even X freeze. It's always when moving lots of data over NFS, and it always requires both machines to be restarted | 03:54 |
| sebsebseb | scottandmonique: Grub being Grub legacy | 03:54 |
| scunizi | !best | Crash8308 | 03:54 |
| ubottu | Crash8308: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 03:54 |
| sebsebseb | scottandmonique: that's for a clean install | 03:54 |
| kb9vqf | Never happened under Jaunty, Intrepid, or Hardy | 03:54 |
| dhaivat_ | is 9.10 stable enough for use? | 03:54 |
| scunizi | dhaivat_: yes.. | 03:54 |
| sebsebseb | dhaivat_: depends on hardware and such | 03:54 |
| mahngiel | how do i fix a warning on my Reallocated Sector Count? | 03:55 |
| Crash8308 | um, it was not a matter of opinion... I mean is there a game out there that shows the graphical capabilities of linux? | 03:55 |
| mahngiel | is that basically a defrag problem? | 03:55 |
| Crash8308 | Mahngiel: no | 03:55 |
| sebsebseb | dhaivat_: if your on 9.04, may as well just stay with that untill 10.04, since there isn't really anything ground braking in 9.10. plus if you try and upgrade from 9.04, you might get issues | 03:55 |
| aalex | Is it a good idea to upgrade from 8.04 -> 8.10 -> 9.04 -> 9.10 ? | 03:55 |
| decora | dhaivat_: just google "9.10 problems" | 03:55 |
| ardchoille | mahngiel: There's mo meed to defrag | 03:55 |
| Crash8308 | reallocating sectors is due to hard drive sector failures | 03:55 |
| sebsebseb | aalex: probably not as such | 03:56 |
| ardchoille | s/meed/need/ | 03:56 |
| sebsebseb | aalex: ,bcause read what I just put to dhaivat_ ,but also if you wait untill 10.04 you can upgrade directly from 8.04 to it | 03:56 |
| sebsebseb | aalex: you won't get Grub 2 or Ext4 on upgrade though | 03:56 |
| scunizi | aalex: if you want you can wait like me.. I've got 8.10 on a desktop and it works fine.. 8.04 on a lappy (the one I'm on) and it's stable.. neither will be upgraded until 10.04.1 | 03:56 |
| mahngiel | i read up on that. probably just due to old age? | 03:56 |
| Arsin | How can I reset my firmware in Ubuntu on my iPod? | 03:57 |
| git__ | rest firmware * | 03:57 |
| ardchoille | mahngiel: The system takes care of the "housekeeping" for you | 03:58 |
| decora | example: this person above whose sound died on 9.10 in a compaq 6230 laptop. | 03:58 |
| Crash8308 | mahngiel: your harddrive needs to be replaced if it is reallocating sectors | 03:58 |
| mahngiel | ardchoille: ok, thanks. just kinda lookin around. just poking in stuff. i have only 5 bad sectors, and it's a 5 yr old hdd | 03:59 |
| Crash8308 | mahngiel: your HDD has spare sectors for this very reason | 03:59 |
| raja | GUYS do not use. the default EXT4 file system on 9.10. do a manual partitioning and USE EXT3. EXT4 corrupts big files. here is the link https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/453579 | 03:59 |
| aalex | sebsebseb: the drivers my wifi card seems less crashy on 9.04, so I am happy I ve upgraded so far. | 03:59 |
| sebsebseb | raja: uhmm | 03:59 |
| sebsebseb | raja: that used to be the case, as for now not quite sure | 04:00 |
| Crash8308 | raja: interesting, I use XFS anyways, more stable | 04:00 |
| sebsebseb | raja: Ext4 is fine for most people in 9.10 though | 04:00 |
| sebsebseb | that have been using it | 04:00 |
| mahngiel | Crash8388: makes sense why only 95% of your HDD is actually useable. i'm just breaking free of the windows mentality to "defragment" | 04:00 |
| sebsebseb | raja: in fact I haven't seen anyone complain in here about an Ext4 in 9.10 issue, if I remember correctly | 04:00 |
| reactor_ | ? | 04:00 |
| Crash8308 | mahngiel: actually | 04:00 |
| dibblego | what program can encode my 3x4GB .dv files to mpeg or avi? | 04:00 |
| Crash8308 | mahngiel: the reason you don't see all of your space is due to the file system taking up that space | 04:00 |
| raja | i just lost 2 videos yesterday. after a reboot. its in ubuntu 9.10 it will corrupt big files before you even know it. so be safe not sorry. i rolled back to ext3 today | 04:01 |
| dAlfa89_ | Now I know how much you guys hate Wubi, but why is it not uninstalling? Everything goes, but it's still throwing the entry at boot, reinstalling doesn't fix it, it just boots to an orangey picture, doing nothing | 04:01 |
| kb9vqf | raja: Hard reboot? | 04:01 |
| scunizi | dibblego: avidimux, devede, handbreak | 04:01 |
| dibblego | scunizi, thanks | 04:01 |
| sebsebseb | raja: 9.04 is where Ext4 is a bit dodgy, because of the kernel and such, but I didn't get problems :) | 04:01 |
| Crash8308 | mahngiel: all of the sectors that are set aside for bad sectors are not counted as usable space by the HDD manufacturer | 04:01 |
| raja | nope just a regular reboot | 04:01 |
| dhaivat_ | ext4 still has lots of problems. don't switch. | 04:01 |
| === r00tintheb0x is now known as mking213 | ||
| raja | EXT4 might corrupt big files. | 04:01 |

| sebsebseb | dhaivat_: Ext4 will be even more stable in 10.04 :) | 04:01 |

| === reactor_ is now known as reactor | ||
| Crash8308 | sxrew ext all together, go with XFS | 04:02 |
| raja | sebsebseb its under release notes on 9.10 .. its a well known problem | 04:02 |

| sebsebseb | raja: I read that before, but do the release notes get updated hmm | 04:02 |
| mahngiel | Crash8308: or why that 60g is really 62.4 | 04:02 |
| owl_ | is there any way to exclude my cd drive from boot time probes? | 04:02 |
| sebsebseb | raja: when were they last updated etc etc | 04:02 |
| scunizi | Crash8308: I've found reiserFS to work well with sata drives.. | 04:02 |
| git__ | remove the cd boot time option | 04:02 |
| raja | sebsebseb they were last updated last week | 04:03 |
| plouffe | Is pulseaudio still required on 9.04 (64bitAmd)? | 04:03 |
| sebsebseb | raja: also when I read it, it said there might be an issue | 04:03 |
| git__ | scunizi, reiserfs is no longer supported | 04:03 |
| sebsebseb | raja: they were investigating a possible issue, or whatever it said | 04:03 |
| owl_ | do you know how? | 04:03 |
| scunizi | git__: oh well.. hopefully it'll be picked up by someone.. | 04:03 |
| raja | its up to you man.. but i did what i can iand i warned people. because i just got 2 files corrupted yesterday. 2 videos | 04:03 |
| * kb9vqf thanks raja | 04:03 | |
| scottandmonique | is anyone using Ushare | 04:04 |
| sebsebseb | raja: I did a test between Ext3 and Ext4 for 9.10. since with / in 9.04 and Ext4 things really do speed up, the boot up, shut down, and disk checking | 04:04 |
| scottandmonique | or moovidia | 04:04 |
| owl_ | because it keeps giving these time consuming error messages, and i wondered if i could just disable the cd drive until its fixed | 04:04 |
| sebsebseb | raja: with 9.10 it didn't seem to make a difference | 04:04 |
| scottandmonique | wine doors | 04:04 |
| dhaivat_ | is there a bittorrent link for 9.10 ubuntu? | 04:04 |
| git__ | ext4 isn't really enterprise ready | 04:04 |
| raja | i know ext3 and ext4 doesnt have much doff in speed on 9.10 thast why i rolled back to ext3 and not lose more files | 04:04 |

| viejotren | in the ubuntustudio channel I didn't get any support | 04:12 |
| mahngiel | i installed enlightenment (v16) and uninst. metacity, i don't see any difference | 04:12 |

| decora | viejotren: i dont know how ubuntustudio probes your cdroms, but the idea is to fake it , i dont know exactly how.. it depends on what detection routine it is using | 04:15 |

| maxxist | quick question. can someone suggest a good cli setup and general system config application that can be found in the repos? something good to run on a ubuntu server through ssh. just to make stuff a little simpler for me? | 04:15 |

| viejotren | decora, I understand you, maybe something like emulate the cd rom right? but how? | 04:16 |
| dhaivat_ | maxxist: sudo apt0get install ssh-server | 04:16 |
| Zsoci | i use ubuntu 9.10 Karmic 64bit,my problem is that something is wrong with Ramlog,can't install it | 04:16 |
| scunizi | dhaivat_: or simply sudo apt-get install ssh | 04:16 |
| git__ | i hate commandline sudo apt-get install blah blah | 04:16 |
| dhaivat_ | or yes what scunizi said | 04:16 |
| git__ | why can't u just click and click | 04:16 |
| git__ | and be done | 04:16 |
| viejotren | maybe passing some parameter to the kernel | 04:16 |
| scunizi | maxxist: or just ssh and you'll get the server and client | 04:16 |
| dhaivat_ | command line is awesome. GUI is for n00bs (no flame war plz) | 04:16 |
| mahngiel | git__: then use synaptic | 04:16 |
| git__ | or better yet ... have someone do it for u via IRC | 04:17 |
| decora | viejotren: do you have the specific error message it gives you? | 04:17 |
| scunizi | dhaivat_: maxxist and actually it will insall openssh server and client | 04:17 |
| dhaivat_ | git___: that's really stupid and wastes time | 04:17 |
| nbros652 | stevo: haven't really used Kubuntu much, but you should be able to add them through the command line if nothing else. Hang on a second while I try to recall the syntax | 04:17 |
| maxxist | i mean a menu system for general system administraion. i know how to install ssh. | 04:17 |

| darkdelusions | git__: the best way is to get the live cd | 04:19 |

| maxxist | dhaivat_: i mean using cli through ssh on a headless vm. no X | 04:19 |
| git__ | scunizi, more like spin up a VM | 04:19 |
| decora | viejotren: it all depends on how they are doing the detection. if you could get a logfile or something it would help | 04:19 |
| dhaivat_ | maxxist: ah. x11 forwarding? | 04:19 |
| scunizi | git__: sure you could download an appliance.. or the iso and install into a vm.. you still need to download something. | 04:20 |

| dhaivat_ | maxxist: learn all the basic cli network tools like ifconfig and such and that's all that the actual gui tools use most of the time. | 04:20 |
| git__ | not sure how comparable vnc is to rdp | 04:20 |
| cwillu_at_work | it's garbling the commands I'm trying to send to an embedded processor, and making me want to throw things through windows :p | 04:20 |
| nbros652 | stevo: that should give you all the syntax to add a new user. | 04:20 |
| dhaivat_ | mohan0: check out dictionarist.com | 04:20 |
| mohan2 | okay | 04:21 |
| decora | viejotren: are you using 9.10? maybe older version will work | 04:21 |

| lonx101 | dhaivat_: just looking up redirection operators now, looks promising. do you know how I can redirect to a location within a file? | 04:35 |
| josephnexus | thanks for the suggestion, we'll see if a different kernel resolves the problems | 04:35 |

| sekyourbox | I know there is "text to speach" software for linux, but is there a "speach to text" program for ubuntu? | 04:36 |
| Kirsch | decora: is it possible to do it without doing that? i'm doing this from a script | 04:36 |
| decora | lonx101 you cant. you can cat the first x bytes (or lines) of the file, then append the 'text to insert', then append the rest of the original file. | 04:36 |
| scunizi | ShawnC: that's the sound of your windows partition screaming in protest to a superior OS | 04:37 |
| naples_guy | RebelZero, thanks for the explanation | 04:37 |
| RebelZero | naples_guy, you're welcome | 04:37 |
| naples_guy | RebelZero, i thought there was only one "Desktop" | 04:38 |

| sekyourbox | TPS, are you debugging windows 7? | 04:39 |
| scunizi | ShawnRisk: darn.. I though I had figured it out :) | 04:39 |
| sekyourbox | TPS, there are a lot of traps if you are | 04:39 |
| TPS | sekyourbox: No | 04:39 |
| TPS | My GRUB broke | 04:39 |
| TPS | Then Windows startup files broke | 04:39 |
| TPS | And it tried to repair and failed | 04:39 |
| decora | Kirsch: do you want them all 'init.d/filename' or just 'filename' | 04:39 |
| Guest81841 | maco: worked like a dream, thanks a bunch | 04:39 |
| Kirsch | 'init.d/filename' | 04:39 |
| RebelZero | naples_guy, each user will have their own within their own /home/user directory. root generally does not have one rarely needs to log into the GUI as root. | 04:40 |
| maco | Guest81841: np | 04:40 |
| jeiworth | sekyourbox: check out this, stumbled upon it the other day but haven't tried it myself: http://simon-listens.org/index.php?id=122&L=1 | 04:40 |
| naples_guy | RebelZero, do you have any advice for me? I'm trying to learn to navigate the shell using relative paths and shortcuts. Any websites you recommend? | 04:40 |
| UbuntuUser | how do i update my bios using a zip file from the manufacturer website? | 04:40 |
| Ubuntu_ | ddd | 04:40 |
| UbuntuUser | huh? | 04:41 |
| sekyourbox | jeiworth, thanks | 04:41 |
| decora | Kirsch: how about using cd in the script? and then cd back to your original directory | 04:41 |
| RebelZero | naples_guy, experience was my teacher through trial and error. | 04:41 |
| Kirsch | decora: its a php script :-\ | 04:41 |
| jeiworth | sekyourbox: yw, no garanties, though ;) | 04:41 |
| scunizi | UbuntuUser: rule of thumb on bios.. if it's working don't fix it. | 04:41 |
| dhaivat_ | Kirsch: perl ftw! | 04:41 |
| Kirsch | lol | 04:41 |
| naples_guy | RebelZero, i understand. At this rate, I'll understand the shell by age 194. =) | 04:42 |
| UbuntuUser | scunizi, i'm trying to install msiwindosx86 and i need to do a bios update | 04:42 |
| === nbros652 is now known as MrB | ||
| scunizi | UbuntuUser: what's msiwindowsx86? | 04:43 |
| UbuntuUser | its osx for msi wind | 04:43 |
| Colonel_Panik | naples_guy, using a gui as root is or can be dangerous as you know with Windows. A double click jerked a little bit in Explorer can drag and drop the windows directory into your printer spool and guess what windows won't boot | 04:43 |
| scunizi | UbuntuUser: so it's the osx OS that runs under windows? I"m los | 04:44 |
| scunizi | *lost | 04:45 |
| decora | Kirsch: 1. you could pass a 'cd /etc ; zip -r blah blah ' command to bash, 2. you could open a pipe, run cd then run zip 3. ask a php forum | 04:45 |
| naples_guy | i know that i dont need to login as root, but i am trying to learn the shell. its independent study, hobby, and personal interest all rolled into one. I bought a book on it and everything. | 04:45 |
| RebelZero | naples_guy, the shell can seem intimidating but it is a rather powerful tool once you learn how to operate within one. | 04:46 |
| === MrB is now known as nbros652 | ||
| scunizi | naples_guy: and no need to be at root to explore the cli | 04:46 |
| jeiworth | bash rul0rz! :D | 04:46 |
| UbuntuUser | scunizi, the info in the docs said to add a bios update for it, but its a zip file. do i have to install windows first? | 04:46 |
| decora | if you are never root, you will never mess up your system really bad... thus you will never learn anything. | 04:47 |
| scunizi | UbuntuUser: so google shows it's a crack of osx right? so you can install it along with windows? | 04:47 |
| naples_guy | RebelZero, yeah, the shell is really neat. once I get it, it will be powerful for me. i hate having to ASK and BUG you guys in #ubuntu every single time i need to do something in the shell | 04:47 |
| losha | decora: the truly talented can mess up a system without being root... | 04:47 |
| decora | losha do u have example in mind? | 04:48 |

| decora | Kirsch: i posted above. not a php guru sorry | 04:49 |
| jeiworth | osirisx11: yes | 04:49 |

| decora | zargle: do you want to keep windows | 04:50 |
| Zargle | I have a mac | 04:50 |

| osirisx11 | jeiworth: $^##$^#&@&@ thank you. | 04:50 |
| osirisx11 | jeiworth: any way for x86 to see all 6? | 04:51 |
| Guest77629 | i am a total newbie and i do not understand the repository stuff | 04:51 |
| RebelZero | naples_guy, I did... just keep practicing but keep in mind that sudo should be used only when needed. we've seen so many new users who didn't know what they were doing with sudo that it's basically reactionary for people to warn against using it. | 04:51 |
| jeiworth | osirisx11: not linux' fault, simple matter of adressing, same in windows btw | 04:51 |
| osirisx11 | jeiworth: so no way to do it? | 04:51 |
| Zargle | i need to reinstall ubuntu cause of me doing a graphics card install and my screen goes black now and i cant get to log in screen | 04:51 |
| mshade | osirisx11: you need a kernel with PAE extensions | 04:52 |
| Hrishi | anyone successful in getting a 3D graphics driver for Via Chrome 9 HC IGP for linux?? Openchrome only supports 2d Graphics... Anyone has a lead for the proprietary driver? please do mail me at fnkygy@gmail.com in case of solutions :) | 04:52 |
| mshade | osirisx11: 32bit can see all RAM just fine, but you need a kernel with PAE support | 04:52 |
| jeiworth | osirisx11: with 32 bit you can only adress around 3.5gb iirc | 04:52 |
| decora | Zargle if you are going to reinstall, just tell ubuntu to use the old ubuntu partition and write over it | 04:52 |
| mshade | jeiworth: incorrect. | 04:52 |
| jeiworth | mshade: ah reall? | 04:52 |
| jeiworth | really? | 04:52 |
| osirisx11 | mshade: how can i get that? | 04:52 |
| ironfoot495 | Hello I'm interested in finding a way to fix a broken package NIS(network information service) if anyone as any ideas I sure could use it. | 04:52 |
| mshade | jeiworth: yes. with PAE extensions you can address all memory | 04:52 |
| Zargle | so i put in the CD? and restart on my ubuntu partition | 04:52 |
| ironfoot495 | I've worked on this for sometime now. | 04:53 |
| Zargle | and it should ask for reinstall? how do i get to reinstall section or hold C? | 04:53 |
| decora | Zargle: you might even try 'repair' function of livecd | 04:53 |
| jeiworth | mshade: ah ok, that was new, thanks, sorry osirisx11,i take it all back | 04:53 |
| Zargle | Hmm thanks :D | 04:53 |
| decora | zargle: can you boot osx? | 04:53 |
| Zargle | yes (on it) | 04:53 |
| decora | zargle: back up your data before you go further | 04:54 |
| Zargle | just Ubuntu said there were some drivers i needed to install.. and i did and they were for the new graphics card in this computer... And my screen froze and after a restart the screen went black | 04:54 |
| Colonel_Panik | naples_guy, think of the bash shell as built in bat files and almost programing ability with all the | < > symbols | 04:54 |
| Zargle | on my mac or Ubuntu? | 04:54 |
| decora | zargle: anywhere you had important data | 04:54 |

| SirTwat | So.... can someone help me achieve some gigabit speeds? I've searched the net thoroughly without bearing any fruit... I've tried updating the driver, but I can't tell if it loaded or not... I'm on 9.10 and the devicec is a Realtek 8111c | 05:08 |
| FlailingWalrus | Heres a nice random question for you all: How do you install linux ubuntu 9.10 from your computer without being able to access it and its installed inside of windows? | 05:08 |
| Xodiac | raja: okay | 05:08 |
| Elladan | decora: Well, I can't really blame the pulse people per se, since they didn't recommend anyone use it. | 05:08 |
| Elladan | decora: But uh, it's been a couple years, you'd think they could write a unit test or something by now. | 05:09 |
| SirTwat | FlailingWalrus: Do you have shell access? | 05:09 |
| raja | i hate pulseaudio .. i use esound insead .. pulse audio is a bit too buggy for me | 05:09 |
| FlailingWalrus | SirTwar: Yessir | 05:09 |
| draco1234 | Elladan, can't you just remove pulseaudio? | 05:09 |
| decora | SirTwat: dmesg might tell you about drivers loading/unloading | 05:09 |
| Elladan | draco1234: I also tried that once, and some programs seemed to stop working. SDL compatibility problem? I dunno. | 05:10 |
| draco1234 | SirTwat, is it possible the speed limitation is in a router you are using? | 05:10 |
| decora | SirTwat: are you using Monster (TM) cables with gold tips? The helpful experts at Best | 05:11 |
| Elladan | I don't really mind "a little bit buggy" but uh... Where I work, if our audio playback daemon crashed and lost sound every day, that would be an ultimate maximum critical bug and people would be getting fired if we shipped an OS with it. Much less three. | 05:11 |

| Reddman | One thing i learned the other day: if you are using kdenlive to edit video, the best thing to do is convert all the raw format vids to mpeg. Kdenlive just works with mpeg better | 05:17 |

| Kozi | how do I get flash working on a web browser | 05:17 |
| SirTwat | elladan: iplink shows it to be gigabit | 05:17 |
| Reddman | doesn't even crash when i do that | 05:17 |
| Elladan | SirTwat: What about the other computer on your switch you're measuring against? | 05:17 |
| obiwan_ | draco i tried alienware, and they don't have 13 inch laptops, it's a must for me it's 13.3 at most, cause i hate 15.4+ laps, they 're so heavy... | 05:17 |
| obiwan_ | thanx kantlivelong | 05:17 |
| Reddman | Kozi: synaptic, make sure all the repositories are checked, and search for 'flash' | 05:18 |
| Reddman | i think | 05:18 |
| Jordan_U | dAlfa89_: Depends on what you mean. It uses grub, yes, but it does not replace ntldr or Bootmgr and instead adds an entry to one or the other ( depending on what version of windows ) that loads grub from a regular file in your windows partition | 05:18 |
| Reddman | actually, i'm not sure if i even had to install flash... | 05:18 |
| Kozi | search where? | 05:18 |
| * Reddman checks | 05:18 | |

| Reddman | give me a sec though | 05:18 |
| Reddman | i might be wrong | 05:18 |
| anttu | anyone got zte mf636 working in 9.10? | 05:18 |
| kantlivelong | obiwan_: they support SLI | 05:19 |
| gorgonzola | Kozi sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree | 05:19 |
| Reddman | this is a new install, so i can check real fast | 05:19 |
| ctmjr | dave99: there are cards for dvb-s i do not know which ones replace the sat box | 05:19 |
| SirTwat | elladan: Transferring via Samba from a Windows 7 machine, and it shows as a gigabit connection... everything 'looks' right. I have been able to achieve gigabit speeds, but it comes and goes | 05:19 |
| Reddman | yea, that works too gorgonzola :D | 05:19 |
| Elladan | SirTwat: Don't use samba to bench, use ttcp or something | 05:19 |
| Elladan | SirTwat: Or ftp | 05:19 |
| draco1234 | obiwan_, I had an idea to save weight. Get a 15" laptop, and then throw the battery in the garbage. It won't last long for a powerful laptop anyways, and now it weighs less! | 05:19 |
| gorgonzola | Kozi or, if you do not want to use the shell, you can go into Synpatic, and search for flashplugin-nonfree, and install from there. | 05:19 |
| SirTwat | Elladan: By deafult, does ubuntu 9.10 server have ftp installed, if not what package is it? | 05:20 |
| Elladan | SirTwat: I don't think so. | 05:20 |
| adhit-lagi | sgs | 05:20 |
| Jordan_U | obiwan_: http://system76.com/index.php?cPath=28 | 05:20 |
| Elladan | SirTwat: It has ssh though, try using scp to bench | 05:20 |
| Kozi | ok | 05:20 |
| Elladan | SirTwat: Or rsync over ssh | 05:20 |
| SirTwat | Elladan: what about sftp? | 05:20 |
| Elladan | SirTwat: The SMB protocol is just very noisy, I wouldn't use it for network link tests. | 05:21 |
| Reddman | i've been using the ultimate edition for ubuntu, and that came with flash | 05:21 |
| Elladan | SirTwat: That's fine | 05:21 |
| Kozi | By the way what was the command to cleanup packages once they were installed? | 05:21 |
| Reddman | just went to a standard 9.1 install tonight | 05:21 |
| Reddman | but yea, the apt-get method IS technically the fastest way to do it | 05:21 |
| Elladan | SirTwat: ssh/scp/sftp are all just sending data very cleanly in one direction without a lot of overhead like SMB/CIFS. | 05:21 |
| draco1234 | Reddman, Nine.point.ten | 05:21 |
| Reddman | yea yea | 05:21 |
| obiwan_ | kantlivelong: i have looked at a 13.3" dell one with 8 ram gigs, 2.6 c2d @ 1066 fsb, and a nvidia 210m 512 mb, but i'm not sure if that'll work for some games like crysis, cod and so, : S i'd be great if i find some one with a gtx 280 m cause in reviews for 15&17 inch laps they say it works perfect | 05:21 |

| sleek | hi, when i'm installing ubuntu, it freezes during the "copying files" portion of the install .. what can I check or change to help solve this problem? | 05:22 |
| Reddman | putting the extra zero on a decimal seems kinda redundant :D | 05:22 |
| gorgonzola | Kozi i don't know what you mean. maybe sudo apt-get autoremove? adding --purge to any remove or autoremove will also remove conf files. | 05:22 |
| ron-l-j | sleek Check your disc for errors | 05:22 |
| MNI940 | Hello, when I log into my ubunutu 9.04 I get this extremely annoying beeping sound, it's not system beep as I disabled it. I have a HP Pavilion DV4. Can anyone please help me. | 05:22 |
| ron-l-j | sleek your install disc | 05:22 |
| sleek | ron-l-j: i did, no errors. | 05:22 |
| gorgonzola | Redman it's not a decimal :) | 05:22 |
| draco1234 | Reddman, Yes, but it's not acting as a decimal, it is just a separator | 05:22 |
| Kozi | yeah autoremove | 05:22 |
| GamerKnight | hey people | 05:23 |
| Reddman | i know | 05:23 |
| dhiaeldeen1 | how can i compile this for ubuntu ? , http://www.cast3d.org/download | 05:23 |
| obiwan_ | draco1234: that's a good one, but i don't like big laps either, it's so uncomfortable to walk along with them | 05:23 |
| sleek | ron-l-j: i tried 2 different optical drives, 3 different hdds, 2 different ide cables | 05:23 |
| Reddman | i think my client might be taking it off too | 05:23 |
| oleo | @Kozi sudo apt-get autoclean ? | 05:23 |
| GamerKnight | trying to run this command "sudo boot/extlinux/extlinux --install boot/extlinux/" and i am getting this error "boot/extlinux/ is device /dev/sd" | 05:23 |

| ron-l-j | sleek thats nuts ! | 05:23 |
| SirTwat | Elladan: SFTP is trans at 5.4MB/s :( | 05:24 |
| ron-l-j | msleek have you tried a usb instal ? | 05:24 |
| Jordan_U | GamerKnight: What are you trying to accomplish? | 05:24 |
| GamerKnight | Jordan_U: any help would be nice. i am trying to make a partition bootable | 05:24 |
| sleek | ron-l-j: i haven't ... that's a good idea though ... i'd have to find a flash drive or something that can connect via usb | 05:24 |
| ron-l-j | sleek usb maybe its the communitaction purt on the computer\ | 05:24 |
| dhiaeldeen1 | how can i compile this for ubuntu ? , http://www.cast3d.org/download , thanks ... | 05:25 |
| Jordan_U | GamerKnight: I mean what is your real goal, i.e. why do you want to "make a partition bootable" ? | 05:25 |
| GamerKnight | Jordan_U: basicly i have copyed a custom linux setup to that partition and now i need to write the Partition Boot Record to make it bootable | 05:25 |
| SirTwat | Elladan: any ideas? | 05:25 |
| Elladan | SirTwat: Hmm, actually I just realized ssh might be cpu limited too | 05:25 |
| Reddman | I keep forgetting to look for a clipboard daemon of some sort | 05:25 |
| draco1234 | GamerKnight, have you seen this yet? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows | 05:25 |
| Elladan | SirTwat: FTP/http/ttcp are really the best stream tests. | 05:25 |
| Reddman | tired of loosing copy/paste data when i close something | 05:25 |
| SirTwat | checking top doesnt show very much cpu usage | 05:25 |
| grease | Hi .. is there a way I can know the rpm of my hardrive (short of opening my laptop and reading the specs on it) | 05:25 |
| Elladan | SirTwat: But anyway, so just checking, but these are both plugged into the same gigE switch right? | 05:26 |
| Jordan_U | GamerKnight: Why not just run "sudo update-grub" which should add an entry for it in grub ( if you are using 9.10 / grub2 )? | 05:26 |
| Elladan | SirTwat: And the MTU isn't an issue? | 05:26 |
| Reddman | grease: is it listed in the bios? | 05:26 |
| Orgy | I'm running with a small amount of ram. What services can i shutdown to use less ram? | 05:26 |
| GamerKnight | draco1234: i will have a read through it now. but the command i typed in should work right? | 05:26 |
| GamerKnight | draco1234: sudo boot/extlinux/extlinux --install boot/extlinux | 05:26 |
| SirTwat | Elladan: Yes, same switch, and both show GIG-E connectivity on router (green is for gige, orange is for 100mb) both show gig-e connectivity in os: (windows 7 & ubuntu's ethtool) | 05:27 |
| grease | Reddman: haven't checked it ... was hoping to find a way w/o having to restart :) | 05:27 |
| Reddman | ahh, i found something... | 05:27 |
| Reddman | hold on | 05:27 |
| Jordan_U | GamerKnight: Installing a bootloader to a partition has some interesting reliability issues and it doesn't seem like it's at all neccisary ( or even the easiest way ) to install a bootloader to that partition | 05:27 |
| dhiaeldeen1 | guys can you hear me ? :( | 05:27 |
| Reddman | http://www.linuxinsight.com/how_fast_is_your_disk.html | 05:27 |
| Reddman | try that | 05:27 |
| Reddman | seems to have information on how to benchmark your drives | 05:28 |
| draco1234 | GamerKnight, I think the part after "--install" hads to be the device, not the folder where the device is mounted | 05:28 |
| Reddman | i can't hear anything... i can see you tho | 05:28 |
| gorgonzola | grease you can find your hd manufacturer and model with hdparm | 05:28 |
| grease | Reddman: thanks, will try | 05:28 |
| hawk_ | lol @ Reddman | 05:28 |
| GamerKnight | Jordan_U: ok, if it make any difference i am following the tutorial off the partition magic website. so i can boot there software from a partition. | 05:28 |
| gorgonzola | grease: sudo hdparm -i /path/to/drive | 05:28 |
| Reddman | i hear the tickling of keyboard keys ^.^ | 05:28 |
| SirTwat | Elladan: I've scoured the internet for solutions and it seems a considerable amount of people have had this problem and fixed it, but didnt post a solution. | 05:28 |
| mondragon | Is there a website anywhere that documents what hardware on what netbooks works with linux? | 05:29 |
| Reddman | mondragon: anything will just about | 05:29 |
| Elladan | SirTwat: Do you have traffic shaping turned on? | 05:29 |
| Orgy | does anyone know what i can do to make my computer faster? I have 256 gb ram (running alternated ubuntu 9.10) and have already done swapdisk (2.5gb-seperate harddrive) | 05:29 |
| mondragon | reddman: ok, that works too.. :-) | 05:29 |
| Reddman | a friend of mine runs 9.10 on a acer aspire one | 05:29 |
| GamerKnight | Jordan_U: my end goal is to use this software of the partition to make a hfs+ volumn on my harddrive and install the refit on it. refit must be install on a hfs+ partition other wise it does not work | 05:29 |
| SirTwat | Elladan: I'm not sure what that is | 05:29 |
| Reddman | linux seems to be VERY atom friendly | 05:29 |
| mondragon | reddman: yeah, there's some really good deals on Aspire One bundles right now | 05:29 |
| * Reddman nods | 05:29 | |
| Reddman | it's a great machine | 05:30 |
| NightEyes1 | Does anyone know how to access the no-ip program to make changes after it's been installed | 05:30 |
| SirTwat | Orgy = Troll | 05:30 |
| Reddman | has that sexy plastic that attracts fingerprints like a hard drive magnet atracts fake gold | 05:30 |
| mondragon | reddman: You know if they can book off of usb sticks? | 05:30 |
| GamerKnight | Jordan_U: i can understand this is a long way round but it has to be hfs+ and i need to keep the other partitions on the harddrive intact. also i have not blank cds left | 05:30 |
| mondragon | reddman: boot, even | 05:30 |
| Reddman | yep | 05:30 |
| Reddman | they have to | 05:30 |
| Orgy | how am i a troll? | 05:30 |
| Reddman | no optical drive | 05:30 |
| mondragon | reddman: I've heard that about the plastic.. :-) | 05:30 |
| Jordan_U | GamerKnight: You can create an hfs file system within linux ( I am pretty sure rEFIt will work from hfs ) | 05:30 |
| mondragon | reddman: yeah, it's just that Dell says you might need to buy an optical drive for theirs for "system recovery" which sounded absurd | 05:30 |
| maco | Orgy: could you please use a more family-friendly nick? | 05:31 |
| SirTwat | Orgy: Maybe not, buying buying more ram isn't going to hurt anything | 05:31 |
| Reddman | i run a lenovo thinkpad x61 that has no CD/DVD drive at all, it litterally HAS to boot from the USB to get it's OS data | 05:31 |
| mondragon | reddman: But I suppose that really means "yes, idiot, you can't stick your windows CD in here" | 05:31 |
| Reddman | lol | 05:31 |
| Reddman | well, in so many words | 05:31 |
| linuxguy2009 | Any Dell Mini 10v owners here? | 05:31 |
| Elladan | SirTwat: I don't know what the problem is. If you have a third computer I'd recommend doing some tests with it to isolate the problem. | 05:31 |
| Orgy | maco-i don't want to --sirtwat-thanks for the advice | 05:31 |
| maco | SirTwat: you too on the family-friendly nick thing | 05:31 |
| maco | !ops | Orgy and SirTwat have very family un-friendly nicks | 05:32 |
| Reddman | i don't own one, but i've seen dell mini's do all kinds of neat things... from running linux to running OSX | 05:32 |
| ubottu | Orgy and SirTwat have very family un-friendly nicks: Help! Channel emergency! (ONLY use this trigger in emergencies) - elky, Madpilot, tritium, Nalioth, tonyyarusso, PriceChild, Amaranth, jrib, Myrtti, mneptok, Pici, Jack_Sparrow, jpds, bazhang, jussi01, Flannel or ikonia! | 05:32 |
| Elladan | SirTwat: You might also check for evidence of bad cables (packet errors etc.) and weirdness with Windows 7. | 05:32 |
| SirTwat | Elladan: lol... i do have a 3rd, and between the other computers, gige works fine... it just this linux box that is casing me problems | 05:32 |
| GamerKnight | Jordan_U: it says has to be hfs+ plus, i have been trying all day to get this to work. the best method for me would be manualy creating the Partition Boot Record this way anyway | 05:32 |
| gorgonzola | maco i think you are exagerating | 05:32 |
| draco1234 | NightEyes1, try typing: sudo no-ip -C | 05:32 |
| ron-l-j | Has anyone seen moblin ? | 05:32 |
| ron-l-j | great on my betbook | 05:32 |
| Orgy | maco-maybe we want them. and it should'nt really bother anyone if we do have unfriendly like nicks. it's not like our nicks are (macogay3) | 05:32 |
| SirTwat | Elladan: I've done all of the normal troubleshooting, and replaced all cables as well... I can't pin it down which is why I am here :) | 05:33 |
| Reddman | but yea, unetbootin + USB stick + linux = win on netbooks | 05:33 |
| ron-l-j | how many users under 12 in here ? | 05:33 |
| bigmack83_ | in windows, can i use a program like cygwin to ssh or otherwise use my ubuntu install from another partition? | 05:33 |
| maco | Orgy: its not like "gay" is an insult either. however, we have rules in here about family-friendly language. thatd put swear words and sexual things right out. | 05:33 |
| linuxguy2009 | Well Ill just ask, Dell sells the Mini 10v's with 8.04 installed. I am reverting back to 8.04.3 and installed it with my Dell DVDRW USB drive. wireless works fine, but no sound. Anyone know why or how to fix it? | 05:33 |
| === SirTwat is now known as SirTwa | ||
| ron-l-j | Reddman yes also the python image dreator | 05:33 |
| ron-l-j | creator | 05:34 |
| Orgy | fine. i'll go to my second nick | 05:34 |
| Reddman | i was trying to get BCCD to work with unetbootin on a USB stick, to no avail | 05:34 |
| ron-l-j | who care what your Nick IS | 05:34 |
| arghh2d2 | Orgy: you're just acting out to get some kind of attention...sad | 05:34 |
| Jordan_U | GamerKnight: Linux can read, write, and create hfs+ file systems but only without journaling ( which you can enable after the fact ) | 05:34 |
| ron-l-j | hahahahah | 05:34 |
| gorgonzola | bigmack83 you can;t run both systems at the same time in the same machine. if you need access to files, you might want to look into an ext driver for windows. i don;t understand why you owuld need cygwin | 05:34 |
| Reddman | i want to set up a live-boot cluster | 05:34 |
| Reddman | :) | 05:34 |
| Elladan | SirTwa: Sorry I can't be more help. | 05:34 |
| draco1234 | maco, how do you think families get created in the first place? | 05:34 |
| dAlfa89_ | maco: I'm not defending anybody, but "Orgy" can be used in literature to define a mass congregation or such, so not always having sexual connotations | 05:35 |
| gorgonzola | maco: Orgy is not necesarilly a sexual word. i think you are exagerating. | 05:35 |
| SirTwa | Reddman: I heard cluster knopix is pretty good :) | 05:35 |
| Reddman | yea, i need to play with that | 05:35 |
| ron-l-j | gorgonzola Cigwin is great for compiling code in a winblows enviroment | 05:35 |
| Reddman | i have 5 linux machines right now, one windows (for gaming) | 05:35 |
| Jordan_U | GamerKnight: Do you have an Ubuntu LiveCD or a flash drive you can put the LiveCD image on? | 05:35 |
| Elladan | SirTwa: You might try looking for a better stream test though. I think my ssh suggestion was probably bad. | 05:35 |
| SirTwa | Reddman: I messed with it a little bit at my work.. it was awesome... what are you supposed to do with 50 extra pc's laying around? | 05:35 |
| Reddman | i was ust going to make up 6 USB sticks with a clustering OS | 05:35 |
| osirisx11 | mshade: just wanted to report i am now using PAE successfully, and it can see all my ram! thank you! | 05:35 |
| Reddman | lol | 05:35 |
| Kozi | If i need to do some web development on linux are there any tools like bbedit? | 05:36 |
| gorgonzola | ron-l-j fair enough, but why would he need it to "ssh or otherwise use" his ;inux partition from windows, supposedly in the same machine? | 05:36 |
| cfedde | what makes a clustering os different from the usual type? | 05:36 |
| Zacdee316 | dalfa89-thanks for defending the nick, but i've already changed it | 05:36 |
| Reddman | my idea is to make a cluster for mencoder/kdenlive | 05:36 |
| dksoba88 | Hi, I just rebooted my 9.10 install and X didn't start, and a console login was there but flashing... not sure what happened but I can't even log in | 05:36 |
| Elladan | SirTwa: If you have an ftp server installed on one of the other boxes, or an http server, you could try downloading on the linux side. | 05:36 |
| GamerKnight | Jordan_U: ok that sounds the best method then, but that is not the only reason why i wish to write the boot sector manualy. i looked in gparted and i could not see a hfs volumn could you please adivse me. i know there is a similar terminal command that will do it. could you tell me what it is | 05:36 |
| Reddman | i do a lot of video editing, and encoding video faster is a big goal of this plan | 05:36 |
| SirTwa | Elladan: Thanks for your help, I don't think stream test was the issue as I've been able to achieve gig-e speeds before (today even) it just cuts in and out. | 05:36 |
| Jordan_U | GamerKnight: You need to install hfsprogs before the option will show up in gparted | 05:36 |
| Elladan | SirTwa: Ah ok. | 05:36 |
| dksoba88 | So now I'm booting off a USB drive, I think the error has something to do with crytodrive or something, but that error message only flashed up once and I didn't get to read the whole thing | 05:37 |
| ron-l-j | gorgonzola I see yes if you format it to fat 32 both systems should read it no problem | 05:37 |
| Elladan | SirTwa: I was just worried that smb/cifs isn't an accurate stream test. It should go faster than 100gbit in any case though. | 05:37 |
| Jordan_U | GamerKnight: You can install hfsprogs ( and rEFIt ) from apt/synaptic in the LiveCD session | 05:37 |
| Elladan | SirTwa: There are various flags you can try changing via ifconfig. | 05:37 |
| om26er | where is the log of installed components and their dependencies | 05:37 |
| om26er | ? | 05:37 |
| Jeruvy | SirTwa: Can't say I have any better advise, but you could try ntop to measure your network. | 05:37 |
| SirTwa | Jeruvy: What does ntop do? | 05:38 |
| GamerKnight | Jordan_U: you mean the bootable mac dvd, i thought refit requires that you bless it | 05:38 |
| Jeruvy | SirTwa: its like top for your network | 05:38 |
| gorgonzola | SirTwa: man ntop? | 05:38 |
| ron-l-j | i always say make a /HOME partition in fat 32 for a dual boot or a file transfer back up | 05:38 |
| draco1234 | om26er, type: dpkg -l | 05:38 |
| SirTwa | ah, i usually use iftop | 05:38 |
| gorgonzola | ron-l-j i wouldn't recommend that, as fat 32 has no permissions, to begin with, and doesn;t support files larger than 4gb to continue | 05:39 |
| Chorch | ron-l-j, | 05:39 |
| Jordan_U | GamerKnight: rEFIt can bless from linux too IIRC ( I am pretty sure I installed it from Ubuntu on my machine ) | 05:39 |
| arghh2d2 | ron-l-j: i never say that...fat32 is lame | 05:39 |
| ron-l-j | you can use NTFS but you can boot fat 32 as well | 05:39 |
| gorgonzola | ron-l-j if you absolutely require a partition to be read from both os, you should definitevily go with ntfs, or, if there is a decent driver for windows for some other fs, that one. | 05:39 |
| Kozi | Any good text-editors for webdevelopment out there? | 05:39 |
| GamerKnight | Jordan_U: th is is | 05:40 |
| ron-l-j | so if you need windows to boot a solid state drive you plug in fat 32 works | 05:40 |
| om26er | i installed ubuntu-restricted-extras on 64bit and had a mass- match hash so i changed the mirror now i cannot find the package that was mismatched and i want to install it. its related to libc6-i386 | 05:40 |
| GamerKnight | Jordan_U: this is the only real command inside the enable.sh file. inside the refit dir "sudo bless --folder "$DIR" --file "$DIR/$LOADERNAME" --labelfile "$DIR/refit.vollabel"" | 05:40 |
| Reddman | fat32 seems to be more linux friendly than ntfs, i noticed | 05:40 |
| ron-l-j | and over 4 gigs would mostly be media | 05:40 |
| om26er | and its i think 29mb+ | 05:40 |
| gorgonzola | ron-l-j i really don't understand why you would prefer fat32. care to explain? | 05:40 |
| arghh2d2 | ron-l-j: don't need windows . | 05:40 |
| om26er | where can i find the terminal log | 05:41 |
| dksoba88 | where can I find any errors from booting up? | 05:41 |
| Reddman | i have a usb hard drive formatted ntfs, if it's not unmounted properly in windows (ejected), it won't connect in linux properly | 05:41 |
| GamerKnight | Jordan_U: and bless is a mac only command, although i think the people who are working on grub2 are trying to create an opensource version. i could be wrong though. if you know how that would be great. i have been trying this all night trying to get refit to install | 05:41 |
| ron-l-j | gorgonzola I use it to make bootable flash drives I can use anywhere | 05:41 |
| mattcen | om26er: Apt stores a log in /var/log/apt/term.log | 05:41 |
| Reddman | fat 32 formatted drives don't care | 05:41 |
| om26er | Matt1360, thanx | 05:41 |
| ron-l-j | So you can boot and load your os and your work files or code anywhere | 05:41 |
| GamerKnight | Jordan_U: thanks alot for you time, it mean alot | 05:41 |
| gorgonzola | ron-l-j and you can't do that with ntfs? | 05:41 |
| Jordan_U | GamerKnight: The grub2 people are also working on grub2 as a replacement for rEFIt :) | 05:42 |
| ron-l-j | older windows willnot boot ntfs | 05:42 |
| gorgonzola | Reddman if its just for mounting, you can always use --force to mount a locked ntfs volume | 05:42 |
| Jordan_U | GamerKnight: np | 05:42 |
| ron-l-j | think old servers | 05:42 |
| gorgonzola | ron-l-j, ok, i grant that. but you gotta reckon that's a pretty fringe case, and not a good reason to recomend someone to format his /home in fat. :P | 05:43 |
| GamerKnight | Jordan_U: thats cool, refit sucks, its got some really nice features. but its so dependend on mac crap that it makes it such a problem. i run macbook pro. but i would never run osx unless i didnt have a choice | 05:43 |
| Reddman | true | 05:43 |
| draco1234 | Kozi, I've heard good things about "bluefish" | 05:43 |
| Reddman | but fat32 is just less of a PITA than NTFS ussually :) | 05:43 |
| mneptok | /home should be formatted as a Linux FS so that permissions work as expected. | 05:43 |
| ron-l-j | Some linux boxes need ntfs support to read as well so if you want an OOB read 32 will work | 05:43 |

| gorgonzola | Reddman until you start happily coping your media to your brand new hd, and 200gb into it, you try to copy that damn 4.3 gb iso. | 05:44 |
| Reddman | yea | 05:44 |
| gorgonzola | Reddman: not nice. | 05:44 |
| dAlfa89_ | The clue is in the name, NTFS was built for NT based versions of Windows, it's a proprietary format and therefore generally unsupported by Linux (From memory, might've changed since I last took a look) | 05:44 |
| Reddman | i have flash drives that are permenently set up as fat32, and i have to make multipart zips for stuff like that | 05:44 |
| GamerKnight | Jordan_U: if i run this command "cat /usr/lib/syslinux/mbr.bin > /dev/sdb" or somthing like this. will this over write the GPT table with a MBR or will it just overwrite the MBR on the second sector of the disk | 05:44 |
| gorgonzola | dAlfa89_ we've had read and write support for ntfs for years now. performance sucks, though. | 05:45 |
| Reddman | i just have a fileserver for most of that work though | 05:45 |
| ron-l-j | CAT will not over write just read | 05:45 |
| Reddman | freeBSD system in my basement full of hard drives | 05:45 |
| Reddman | set it, forget it | 05:45 |
| ron-l-j | if youwant to over write use Gedit | 05:45 |
| kraut | moin | 05:45 |
| gorgonzola | Redmann: it is trivial to convert fat32 to ntfs without formating | 05:45 |
| dAlfa89_ | gorgonzola: I know, but it's still generally not recommended, right? | 05:45 |
| gorgonzola | Redmann: any windows box can do that. | 05:45 |
| Jordan_U | GamerKnight: That will overwrite the GPT table ( I think at least ) | 05:45 |
| ron-l-j | I like free bsd and opesolaris | 05:45 |
| seravitae | hm, is au.archive.ubuntu.com down? | 05:46 |
| mneptok | ron-l-j: see the > in the command GamerKnight gave | 05:46 |
| GamerKnight | Jordan_U: yer it should do. what i might do is use dd to push the mbr back to the the first sector of the disk | 05:46 |
| ron-l-j | yeah output extractor | 05:47 |
| ron-l-j | >> | 05:47 |
| draco1234 | ron-l-j, actually, "cat" will be overwriting in his example since he is redirecting its output with > | 05:47 |
| mneptok | ron-l-j: you just appended | 05:47 |
| gorgonzola | dAlfa89_ weeeeelll... you know how those things are. is not recomended because the driver is not friendly, it's a watered down vbersion of a better commercial driver, and its generally not very efficient. but if you totally *need* to read from both os, you should go with it over fat32 | 05:47 |
| GamerKnight | Jordan_U: ok i am going to try this cat /usr/lib/syslinux/mbr.bin > /dev/sdb3 i think that should give me a MBR but only of the thrid partion right? | 05:47 |
| jongbergs | seravitae: try to ping au.archive.ubuntu.com | 05:47 |
| ron-l-j | I perfer not to redirect out put and edit with gedit | 05:47 |
| ron-l-j | :D | 05:47 |
| ron-l-j | i get less errors | 05:47 |
| ron-l-j | :D | 05:47 |
| ron-l-j | thats just me | 05:47 |
| dAlfa89_ | gorgonzola: That's what I do, XP on NTFS, Ubuntu on EXT3 | 05:48 |
| Jordan_U | GamerKnight: The grub you have installed already can do anything that syslinux could do, and I am pretty sure you can't have an MBR on a partition | 05:48 |
| arghh2d2 | gorgonzola: arent there windows drivers for reading ext2/3/4 drives? | 05:48 |
| ron-l-j | will sudo grub-install work ? | 05:48 |
| Jordan_U | GamerKnight: If you have the syslinux.conf I can tell you what to add as a grub menu entry to do the same thing | 05:48 |
| dAlfa89_ | Also, Grub is better than the Windows bootloader \o/ | 05:48 |
| GamerKnight | Jordan_U: HAHAHA this command looks so cool "cat /usr/lib/syslinux/mbr.bin > /dev/sdb" in the terminal. yer i am not sure it will work either. but partitions can have there own bootloads not sure if its the same as the MBR might be a smaller version | 05:49 |
| mneptok | ron-l-j: so how would you recreate "ls -Rla / > ~/fs_contents" in gEdit? | 05:49 |
| GamerKnight | ron-l-j: maybe do basicly i just want to make a partition boot able. i have copyed a basic linux version on to an ext3 partition. | 05:49 |
| draco1234 | mneptok, easy: type "ls -Rla /" in terminal, select the output, copy, open gedit, paste | 05:50 |
| GamerKnight | ron-l-j: now i want to make it boot able when i select that partion | 05:50 |
| Jordan_U | GamerKnight: Again, try just running "sudo update-grub" and see if it adds a menu entry to load the linux system on that partition | 05:50 |
| ron-l-j | grub-install /dev/ hd1 or sda1 | 05:50 |
| mneptok | draco1234: in most cases the screen buffer will fill before the outpur is complete. | 05:50 |
| arghh2d2 | if your gonna use an inferior os like windows might as well get the drivers to read linux filesystems, performance might suffer but your gonna be suffering windows anyway | 05:50 |
| gorgonzola | arghh2d2: yes. there are. but if i remember correctly, they stopped working with newer versions of ext3/4. haven't looked into it in a long time, though. | 05:51 |
| ron-l-j | most operating systems don't tell GRUB how to map BIOS drives to OS devices correctly—GRUB merely guesses the mapping. This will succeed in most cases, but not always. Therefore, GRUB provides you with a map file called the device map, which you must fix if it is wrong | 05:51 |
| gorgonzola | arghh2d2: i remember it was something like windows only supports 128bit filesystems, and newer exts were 256, ort something like that. | 05:51 |
| draco1234 | mneptok, haha, now you're just nitpicking. You know that can be adjusted | 05:51 |
| arghh2d2 | gorgonzola: yeah, who knows? not me, i dont use M$ garbage | 05:52 |

Anyone have an idea of how to set options on a driver? | 05:54 |
| arghh2d2 | ron-l-j: yeah, sounds retarded. your boss is retarded for buying that crap. | 05:54 |

| Billiard1 | losha: sorry, im not familiar with mad | 06:23 |
| jahnkeanater | i would like to be able to use the WOL function on my router to turn on my server | 06:23 |
| aboeing | draco1234: which repository do i choose? normal, restricted, universe, or multiverse? | 06:23 |
| Flannel | aboeing: Please pastebin the output of `sudo apt-get update` | 06:23 |
| kstarr | no, thats the one i wanted you to see http://greener-better.com/ | 06:23 |
| losha | Billiard1: mad is the name of an irc user recently on this channel :-) | 06:23 |
| kstarr | I meant this one: http://2ndh.com | 06:23 |
| draco1234 | aboeing, oh, those should all be enabled... I meant, the part where it says "Download From:" | 06:23 |
| aboeing | Flannel: update works fine, it hits security.ubuntu.com hardy-security/.... etc. | 06:23 |
| aboeing | draco1234: oh ok, i'm using the terminal, no gui. | 06:23 |
| Billiard1 | losha: o so mad has the iso problem, sorry | 06:23 |
| Flannel | aboeing: Right, but it's handy to determine which repos you have. | 06:24 |
| losha | Billiard1: :-) | 06:24 |
| mad | I solved my problem. I mounted the iso with "-t udf" instead of "-t iso9660". Just in case anyone is interested. :) | 06:24 |
| jiga123123 | hello everyone! I need some advice on disk partitioning, can someone help around here? | 06:24 |
| Billiard1 | mad: you might be able to leave of the -t option completely | 06:24 |
| Billiard1 | jiga123123: just ask the question | 06:25 |
| draco1234 | aboeing, ok then... in the file /etc/apt/sources.list | 06:25 |
| mad | Billiard1: hmm, that option didn't even come to my mind | 06:25 |
| losha | Mad: presumably this was an option when you created the iso, you could have chosen iso9660 format... | 06:25 |
| aboeing | Flannel: unfortunately, i can't get "lynx" to install on the computer either, so i can't paste the output | 06:25 |
| cfedde | jiga123123: the answer is: most of the time don't bother. | 06:26 |
| mad | losha: that's the problem, i didn't create it myself :) | 06:26 |
| aboeing | draco1234: i've added those sources ot the sources.list, and done another update, but i still can't install the kernel devel package | 06:26 |
| Flannel | aboeing: w3m is installed by default | 06:26 |
| losha | mad: good to know the solution then.... | 06:26 |
| draco1234 | aboeing, is there any way you can post your sources.list file? | 06:27 |
| Flannel | draco1234, aboeing: posting the output to `sudo apt-get update` gives you the contents of the sources.list, and sources.list.d | 06:27 |
| bashca | hi there | 06:28 |
| bashca | can u help me reqonized my zte data card on koala ??? | 06:28 |
| aboeing | uhm, how do I copy the content of a text file into w3m? | 06:28 |
| jiga123123 | Thanks billiard1! I have a ~280gb harddrive, laptop, and my plan is to have dual-boot with W7(i don't pay MS, so don't think i'm an infidel) and Ubuntu (is 9.10 the best one to use right now?). And I am wondering how many partitions I should make. It sounds like for W7 i will only need 1 ntfs partition, bbut not sure how big. About ubuntu - I heard that I should make Reiser for system partition, and Something else for the other files. S | 06:29 |
| jiga123123 | o the ultimate question I have: how many and what size and what type of FS partitions do you think i should make? thank you! | 06:29 |
| nightvisio | Wtf: does ext4 also take some space for directories? | 06:29 |
| seidos | jiga123123: what do you think? | 06:29 |
| nightvisio | For example, my 10 files ~= 35.7 kb; when I click `Properties` on the whole directory, it shows me over 47 kb | 06:29 |
| jiga123123 | seidos, what do i think on what? | 06:30 |
| Billiard1 | jiga123123: i would use ext3 or 4 for linux not reiser, for size depends how much and what you want to do with each os | 06:30 |
| MenZa | jiga123123: Well, Windows 7 uses a single NTFS partition with 100MB of empty space in front of it I believe. In addition to that, I'd recommend a small / partition, and a large /home partition. Both formatted as ext4. | 06:30 |
| SwedeMike | jiga123123: W7 makes two partitions per default. Just install w7 and then do ubuntu install, it'll resize the w7 partition for you if you want to. The size is up to you, your hd is big to hold both OSes, all depends where you want to store files. | 06:30 |
| MenZa | jiga123123: In addition, if you have <4GB RAM, use a swap partition for that. | 06:30 |
| seidos | jiga123123: nm, didn't click that you were talking to a specific user | 06:30 |

| Phoenix325 | Is there by anychance a way to find out what commands each keyboard shortcut does? | 06:31 |
| floppyears | hi, I'm trying to setup lirc in ubuntu karmic with no luck | 06:31 |
| floppyears | does somebody here use lirc_mceusb ? | 06:31 |
| draco1234 | nightvisio, you probably have hidden files you weren't noticing | 06:31 |
| Phoenix325 | Like knowing the command the creates the "CTRL + ALT +D" effect. | 06:32 |
| nightvisio | draco1234, I have no hidden file | 06:32 |
| nightvisio | ls -all show me nothing else | 06:32 |
| Flannel | aboeing: If your editor is set to vim, you can do `:read !command` and it'll put the output of that command (try cat for the file you store the output in) | 06:32 |
| draco1234 | nightvisio, see, that just proves how well hidden it is | 06:32 |
| nightvisio | draco1234, how to make sure? | 06:33 |
| jiga123123 | what is the difference between ext3 and ext4? and why no ruse reiser, if they say it's better for many small system files? | 06:33 |
| draco1234 | nightvisio, honestly, I'm using ext3 and all my folders take 4kb | 06:33 |
| losha | nightvisio: open a terminal, cd to your directory, and run du -h | 06:34 |
| nightvisio | Whoah | 06:34 |
| nightvisio | Second... | 06:34 |
| draco1234 | jiga123123, reiser is on the way out, since the main developer, Hans Reiser, killed his wife and went to jail, and everybody quit | 06:34 |
| Billiard | jiga123123: some people have problems with ext4, and ext3 is more that enough for most people | 06:34 |
| Phoenix325 | The purpose of this is to replicated the CTRL + ALT + D shortcut to something else. | 06:35 |
| losha | jiga123123: if you choose ext3, you can use almost any linux with it, including 3rd party rescue disks and live cds. That's a good thing... | 06:35 |
| jiga123123 | draco1234: Crazy story! | 06:35 |
| jiga123123 | losha: what about ext4? why ubuntu uses it as a default fs? | 06:36 |
| jiga123123 | billiard: pls tell me what is different in ext4 from ext3? | 06:36 |
| losha | jiga123123: it's supposed to be faster, but it's also newer, which means less stable, and harder to debug, and less compatible with things like super grub disk.... | 06:36 |

| losha | jiga123123: ubuntu were also on a release deadline, so not everything they released was ready.... | 06:38 |
| Billiard | jahnkeanater: 9.10 was the first release to use ext4 as default | 06:38 |
| jahnkeanater | hmm i need to check what i have | 06:39 |
| jiga123123 | And the question is still: i read somewhere that it is a safer bet to make something like 1 parttttn for system of linux, and 1 partitin for "home" folder. is that true? how does it worK? | 06:39 |

| jahnkeanater | how do i run the update for that | 06:39 |
| losha | jahnkeanater: so do I. Nothing wrong with that. It's an lts, designed for long term use... | 06:39 |
| Billiard | jiga123123: separate partition for home makes it easy to do a fresh install and keep all your user data | 06:39 |
| losha | !lts | 06:40 |
| ubottu | LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Hardy (Hardy Heron 8.04). The next LTS release is scheduled to be !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) | 06:40 |
| jiga123123 | hey, guys, it's cool that this is a ubuntu channel and you say that I shouldn't use the fs that comes in the package, i will definitely switch to ext3 when i can)) | 06:40 |
| doc|suk|dik | hi! | 06:40 |
| geezlouise | Anyone ever recieve an error while publishing a webpage that site cannot be published to speicified location, please help. | 06:40 |
| jahnkeanater | is 9 still in beta or something | 06:40 |
| maco | Billiard: 8.04+ do not overwrite /home if you choose manual partitioning, use same partition as /, and choose not to format it | 06:40 |
| draco1234 | jahnkeanater, that would be a pretty complicated update... I'd just download the new install cd and start with that | 06:40 |
| maco | jahnkeanater: 9.04 and 9.10 are both stable releases | 06:40 |
| maco | jahnkeanater: the next stable release will be 10.04 | 06:40 |
| jahnkeanater | so i cant use the update manager in ubuntu to upgrade to 9 | 06:41 |
| losha | jahnkeanater: note that 'stable' is entirely a matter of opinion.... | 06:41 |
| jiga123123 | billiard: that was really my initial question. How helpful is that? any other trick of that kind? cause I found that whenever i installed something wrond in ubuntu and xubuntu, only the reinstall+format helped to go back :(( | 06:41 |
| Toad | hi all. Just installed karmic. Mostly good, except now where terminal used to do the annoying pcspkr beep, it's attempting and failing to do some other kind of beep, and instead of beeping just results in my speakers popping | 06:41 |
| Billiard | geezlouise: you use the wrong password or path? | 06:41 |
| Toad | (eg running "beep" from command line pops the speakers) | 06:41 |
| ron-l-j | :d | 06:41 |
| Toad | if I run "beep" several times in a row, it only pops the first time | 06:41 |
| draco1234 | jahnkeanater, you could use the update manager, but it will probably try to download gigabytes of stuff, and it might not get the packages right since you are a few versions behind | 06:41 |
| maco | jahnkeanater: sure you can. itll just take one more round to reach 9.10 than 9.04 | 06:41 |
| jahnkeanater | hmm i might do that later i dont feel like backing up my home folder now | 06:41 |
| jahnkeanater | yea | 06:42 |
| Toad | I'm guessing it's doing something like sleeping my sound card when nothing's going into it, and then when it wakes it back up, it pops | 06:42 |
| Toad | (OSX does this same thing on my other computer) | 06:42 |
| Jordan_U | Toad: You will probably notice the same pop any time you try to play any sound | 06:42 |
| jahnkeanater | o i have to do i one version at a time | 06:42 |
| Toad | Jordan_U: yea, pretty sure it's not just the beep | 06:42 |
| jahnkeanater | yea ill save that for another day | 06:42 |
| jiga123123 | draco1234 thanks for cool link. why did he do that, and... does that make everyone not use reiserFS from then, or is the FS not as good? | 06:42 |
| doc|suk|dik | hi | 06:42 |
| Toad | Jordan_U: yea, just confirmed with mplayer | 06:42 |
| Toad | any idea how to turn off the automatic sound device sleeping? | 06:42 |
| Billiard | jiga123123: what could you install wrong? if you use the package manager everything can be easily uninstalled, make backups of your config files if you manually change them | 06:42 |
| jahnkeanater | i got my web sight working how do i enable my router also | 06:43 |
| maco | jiga123123: for my family's computers, i use ext4 on / for speed and ext3 on /home for safety (my own computer is all ext4, but then i carry install discs everywhere) | 06:43 |
| maco | jiga123123: (and i have backups) | 06:43 |
| Billiard | jahnkeanater: enable your router? | 06:43 |
| jahnkeanater | the web config page | 06:43 |
| losha | jiga123123: he killed her because she insisted on using ext4... | 06:43 |

| Jordan_U | Toad: I can tell you that pulseaudio is the direction to be looking | 06:43 |
| jahnkeanater | but over the internet | 06:43 |
| Billiard | hahahaha losha | 06:43 |
| Toad | Jordan_U: yea, figured. thanks | 06:44 |
| Toad | wasn't sure if this were a known bug. googling some more | 06:44 |
| jiga123123 | maco Thanks! | 06:44 |
| Toad | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/456022 looks right | 06:44 |
| jahnkeanater | can i type a port # after my domain to di that | 06:44 |
| jiga123123 | maco, what size do you give to '/'? | 06:44 |
| maco | losha: that was in very poor taste | 06:44 |
| lein | got a major problem that i haven't been able to fix. when i boot grub give error 15 file not found. i drop to grub-shell and load kernel and initrd then boot. the kernel starts to load then kernel panic - not s | 06:44 |
| jiga123123 | losha, _))) that's the way to go!__D | 06:44 |
| Toad | aha! power_save options to snd_hda_intel look like the culprit | 06:44 |
| losha | maco: thank you.... | 06:44 |
| maco | jiga123123: for normal use i had a 10GB / but now i use 15GB since i need space for lots of development tools | 06:44 |
| Toad | Jordan_U: thanks for standing by as I googled ;-) | 06:45 |

| Toad | Jordan_U: my poor speakers thank you as well :) | 06:46 |
| Billiard | jahnkeanater: i wouldnt recomend using the config page from the web, some routers will let you change the port for the router config to to wan | 06:46 |
| Billiard | jahnkeanater: to the wan | 06:46 |

| jahnkeanater | is there an easier way to set up WOL | 06:48 |

| jiga123123 | billiard, some packages give description that is not complete really. in my case, with all 9.10: ubuntu - install it, but the soundcard disappears. reinstall - it's there. than after some wrong step, whatever it was - soundcard would disappear again. hours googling - i restart alsa manually - sound and soundcard back in the mixer. reboot - soundcard not there again... so i try xubuntu - i like the looks and customizability (for a newbie | 06:49 |
| jiga123123 | ) of xfce, and the performance supposedly increases. the sound works correctly in xubuntu. but the sound recording not working. And the main thing was also that in xubu I couldnt make the sound play from USB headset(it was recognised and all, but i had no idea how to switch)..... what can i say - I am not giving up that easily! here i am looking for help)) | 06:49 |

| jiga123123 | cause the liveCD runs the sound and the soundcard recognised all fine. | 06:56 |
| Billiard | jiga123123: i would say "wrong setup" is the cause | 06:56 |
| Billiard | jiga123123: whatever that is | 06:56 |
| armornick | MisterK85: then you can use synaptic to install the package bcmwl-kernel-source, and reboot | 06:57 |
| Billiard | jiga123123: "wrong step"* | 06:57 |
| lein | i've RTFM'ed and read through the forum can't find a solution and tried a few without success. and tried everything i can thing of without reinstall or using :recover a broken system on live cd. | 06:57 |
| armornick | lein: what's the problem? | 06:57 |
| jiga123123 | billliard: then what can it be? cause again - live cd recognises the soundcard alll fine. why does it happen so that after installation, ubuntu sound mixer would stop seeing my soundcard? | 06:58 |
| lein | got a major problem that i haven't been able to fix. when i boot grub give error 15 file not found. i drop to grub-shell and load kernel and initrd then boot. the kernel starts to load then says: Done. Gave up waiting for root device. ALERT! does not exist. Dropping to Shell! then drops to busy-box / initramfs | 06:58 |
| armornick | needhelp1: can you upload a picture of your setup home page somewhere? | 06:58 |
| Sahkolihaa | lein: Is this a fresh install, and have you got multiple SATA drives? | 06:58 |
| needhelp1 | armornick: for some reason it wont let me access the homepage unless i am pluged into the router | 06:58 |
| needhelp1 | ill brb | 06:58 |
| needhelp1 | im gona try again | 06:58 |
| needhelp1 | will you still be here armornick? | 06:58 |
| armornick | needhelp1: sure | 06:59 |
| needhelp1 | kk thanks | 06:59 |
| draco1234 | lein, how did that happen? | 06:59 |
| needhelp1 | brb | 06:59 |
| FloodBot5 | needhelp1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 06:59 |
| jahnkeanater | if i change port 85 to 192.168.1.1 will that let me use my routers config | 06:59 |
| Billiard | jiga123123: after a fresh install no modifications, sound doesnt work anymore? | 06:59 |
| losha | jiga123123: dunno the cause or the solution, but ubuntu users have been reporting sound problems on this channel from 8.10 onwards. If all else fails, you might try 8.04 LTS | 06:59 |
| Billiard | jahnkeanater: yes | 06:59 |
| jahnkeanater | would both be 85 or is one suposed to be 80 still | 07:00 |
| MisterK85 | armornick: i cannot find that package | 07:00 |
| lein | sahkoliha: it was from a fresh install like 8 months go. just updated the kernel to 2.6.28-16-generic a week ago been trying to fix since | 07:00 |
| Sahkolihaa | lein: Ah, I'll have to let someone else help then I'm afraid (I had this issue but it was regarding have multiple SATA drives and a bug in the installer). | 07:00 |
| jahnkeanater | nvm yay it works | 07:00 |
| armornick | MisterK85: that's odd | 07:00 |
| Billiard | jahnkeanater: most routers let you change the remote management port, but if it doesnt try forwarding a port source 85 destination 192.168.1.1:85 | 07:00 |
| Billiard | jahnkeanater: sorry 192.168.1.1:80 | 07:01 |
| Phoenix325 | Is there by anychance a way to find out what commands each keyboard shortcut does? (And for example I mean the SOURCE that's behind the magics of ctrl+alt+d ). | 07:01 |
| armornick | MisterK85: I guess you could try manually installing it: http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php | 07:01 |
| lein | sahkoliha: sorry single sata partitioned to: /boot, /, /usr. /home, /var, swap | 07:01 |
| Billiard | Phoenix325: you check the keyboard shortcuts from the menu? | 07:01 |
| armornick | Phoenix325: the source is implemented in gnome itself, so that's going to be hard | 07:02 |
| lein | sahkoliha: ty anyway | 07:02 |
| jiga123123 | well, I think it depends on 1) whether i have a headphone in the headphone plug of the laptop, or 2) on a random thing, but on my asus laptop sometimes after ubuntu install the sound would work right away, and sometimes it would not work... magic. But sound works with livecd. And i find sound very important)) | 07:02 |
| MisterK85 | armornick: found it, got hidden away somehow. | 07:02 |
| jiga123123 | billiard | 07:02 |
| lein | sahkoliha: sorry got a bit of lag | 07:02 |
| losha | lein: can you boot the live cd? | 07:02 |
| lein | losha yes | 07:02 |
| armornick | MisterK85: if it doesn't work after you reboot, try running 'sudo modprobe wl' in a terminal | 07:03 |
| Billiard | jiga123123: yeah idk, lots of people have sound problems, they need to fix that | 07:03 |
| Phoenix325 | Billiard & armornick: I'm trying to like "replicate" the "minimize all" button. | 07:03 |
| losha | lein: what os version? | 07:03 |
| draco1234 | Phoenix325, are you using compiz or metacity? | 07:03 |
| jiga123123 | billiard: where would i get 8.04? and how does it really differ from 9.10? like xp and vista?=D | 07:03 |
| gheddy_zarc | is there a way to make usb drives automatcilly mount in 9.10 ?? instead of unplugging and plugging it back in ? | 07:03 |
| lein | losha: 9.04 with kernel 2.6.28-16-generic | 07:03 |
| Phoenix325 | Because the "preconfigured" commands isn't telling me how. I think it's "Metacity". | 07:03 |
| Billiard | Phoenix325: there might be a command to minimize all, or you might be able to send the keyboard shortcut if that doesnt work | 07:03 |
| jiga123123 | billiard: "lots of people have sound problems, they need to fix that" do you know who would be able to fix that? | 07:04 |
| jiga123123 | billiard: where would i get 8.04? and how does it really differ from 9.10? like xp and vista?=D | 07:04 |
| losha | lein: from the live cd, check your /boot/grub/menu.lst file. It gets rewritten when you add a new kernel. See if you have an older version you can revert to... | 07:04 |
| GamerKnight | Hey people i am using Ubuntu 8.10 64bit. i can not seem to find refit in the repos. can anyone help. i can find it fine using Linux Mint | 07:04 |
| Phoenix325 | The problem is... "I do not know how they did that". | 07:04 |
| armornick | Phoenix325: you should be able to change that in the keyboard shortcuts menu; it's called show desktop | 07:04 |
| Billiard | jiga123123: i dont know if 8.04 is still supported with security updates | 07:04 |
| draco1234 | Phoenix325, well then you can edit the shortcuts in a more advanced way by running "gconf-editor" and navigating to apps>>metacity | 07:04 |
| doc|suk|dik | 08:01 < doc|suk|dik> how did a netherlands person | 07:05 |
| doc|suk|dik | 08:01 < doc|suk|dik> know about a UHF advertisement from america around 1986 | 07:05 |
| Billiard | jiga123123: it should be still available on the ubuntu mirrors i think | 07:05 |
| doc|suk|dik | 08:01 < doc|suk|dik> "Clap on! , Clap off! Clap@#&$NO CARRIER"] | 07:05 |
| armornick | Billiard: it is, since it's an LTS release | 07:05 |
| lein | losha: already did that menu.lst is good even commented out the new kernel and still get same result | 07:05 |
| jiga123123 | 9.10... 6 month 9.04, + 6 8.10, + 6 8.04 is around 1.5-2 years old. how did ubuntu change from that time? what version do you use? | 07:06 |
| lein | losha: can't boot to any of my back up kernels or recovery console | 07:06 |
| armornick | jiga123123: it's simply package upgrades and some new technologies | 07:07 |
| linuxguy2009 | Does anyone here really know what is going on with the continued use of pulseaudio yet on distros that use it, like Ubuntu, have so many sound issues? Is it pulseaudio just not ready for primetime or programmers not writing code to use it properly or can someone explain the reasoning for basing sound on something that appears to be pretty much broken? | 07:07 |
| Flannel | doc|suk|dik: Please stay ontopic, thanks. | 07:07 |
| losha | lein: can you check the uuids and paths in the menu.lst? Also, check the device.map. Lastly, try reinstalling grub. Nothing to lose at this stage... | 07:07 |
| armornick | linuxguy2009: just uninstall it | 07:07 |
| dragon | how can i enable proprietary drivers from the command line? | 07:08 |
| linuxguy2009 | armornick: Im in 9.10, how do I get back my volume applet? | 07:08 |
| armornick | dragon: with modprobe if you know what they're called | 07:08 |
| jiga123123 | armornick, what kind of new tech? | 07:08 |
| dragon | armornick: what's the command? | 07:08 |
| dragon | armornick: ah, I need to have the drivers. | 07:08 |
| maco | dragon: you can install them with "sudo apt-get install" but you need to know which driver you want first | 07:08 |
| soreau | linuxguy2009: Apparently its the technically correct unix philosophy way of doing it | 07:08 |
| armornick | dragon: sudo modprobe and then the name of the driver to load it after you install it | 07:09 |
| maco | armornick: dragon is asking about installing proprietary drivers | 07:09 |
| losha | linuxguy2009: the thing about time-based releases is, you have to release, ready or not... | 07:09 |
| doc|suk|dik | i wonder why ubuntu has trojans in it | 07:09 |
| KiKiTou | Hola | 07:09 |
| armornick | maco: yeah, but you have to load them too after you install them | 07:09 |
| soreau | linuxguy2009: iirc, the volume applet is in the tray so you need to add a tray to your panel if you dont have one already | 07:09 |
| linuxguy2009 | soreau: Are you on 9.10? | 07:09 |
| lein | losha: yes you can checck uuids and did there good checked against fstab device map looked ok. tryed super grub disk without success still coudn't booot | 07:09 |
| maco | armornick: not manually each time... put it in /etc/modules and reboot | 07:09 |
| soreau | linuxguy2009: Not per se | 07:10 |
| armornick | jiga123123: well they change from HAL to devicekit to make hardware loading better, for example | 07:10 |
| linuxguy2009 | soreau: Well that worked in 9.04 , but in 9.10 you lose the volume applet from your system completely. I have no idea whos idea it was but I dont like it. | 07:10 |
| jiga123123 | guys, is there an open web resourse or some particular book that would turn a newbie to a person who can understand linux and ubuntu and solve problems? | 07:10 |
| armornick | jiga123123: and the pulseaudio framework you hear everyone complain about | 07:10 |
| seidos | what laptops have the best firmware? | 07:11 |
| soreau | linuxguy2009: You dont lose it, it just exist in the tray now | 07:11 |
| armornick | jiga123123: ubuntuguide.org | 07:11 |
| linuxguy2009 | soreau: What? | 07:11 |
| jiga123123 | armornick, so should i switch to 8.04 if i have troubles with sound in 9.10? really? or just keep trying to find solution? | 07:11 |
| losha | lein: sorry, no more ideas for you.... | 07:11 |
| linuxguy2009 | soreau: In 9.10 is the tray volume applet goes away when you remove pulseaudio. | 07:12 |
| Phoenix325 | armornick: I'm not looking to change those, it's more like "replicating what already exists". draco1234: This makes a shortcut, but apparently, it's a shortcut to no where. | 07:12 |
| armornick | jiga123123: try uninstalling pulseaudio and using ALSA instead | 07:12 |
| Billiard | jiga123123: if it was me i would look for a solution, someone on the ubuntu forums might have your same computer with a solution | 07:12 |
| linuxguy2009 | soreau: It appears that even when you try and add applets to the panel its completely gone. | 07:12 |
| soreau | linuxguy2009: Well if thats the case, idk. I didnt recommend removing pulseaudio | 07:12 |
| armornick | Phoenix325: there should be an app called xmacro to create a script that does something similar | 07:12 |
| linuxguy2009 | Seems lots of distros have adopted pulseaudio like Ubuntu and its broken. | 07:13 |
| lein | losha: ty anyway. guess ill reinstall grub and see what happens | 07:13 |
| draco1234 | Phoenix325, um, the shortcuts in metacity/global_keybindings run the commands in matacity/keybindings_commands | 07:13 |
| Salvad1 | Hello. | 07:13 |
| losha | jiga123123: it's your call. But if you're doing a lot of reinstalling, I don't see what you've got to lose, unless there's some 9.X feature you can't live without.... | 07:13 |
| indus | jiga123123: use oss its much better | 07:13 |
| Salvad1 | Is it possible to use the latest Nvidia drivers on ubuntu 9.10? | 07:13 |
| cdm10 | I'm having issues with Folder Sharing on Karmic -- is this a known issue? | 07:14 |
| jiga123123 | indus: how would i use that in gnome? and ubuntu come with alsa by default... | 07:14 |
| KiKiTou | how quit channel without disconnect? | 07:14 |
| seidos | indus: do you think that's what ubuntu will use in the future? | 07:14 |
| KiKiTou | irssi cliente sorry | 07:14 |
| Flannel | KiKiTou: /part | 07:14 |
| KiKiTou | gratzie | 07:14 |
| KiKiTou | :) | 07:14 |
| Phoenix325 | draco1234: Wait, what? How? | 07:14 |
| Flannel | KiKiTou: or /wc (window close) | 07:14 |
| linuxguy2009 | Do any 9.10 users have a solution to remove pulseaudio but keep the volume control applet on the panel? | 07:14 |
| KiKiTou | (Y) okey | 07:14 |
| Phoenix325 | You totally lost me there. | 07:14 |
| seidos | sup Flannel | 07:14 |
| KiKiTou | yes :P | 07:14 |
| Flannel | Howdy seidos | 07:15 |
| armornick | linuxguy2009: don't think so | 07:15 |
| indus | oss4 is very good i hear, and also, i have never seen any application not play good with oss and no regressions either | 07:15 |
| KiKiTou | install ubuntu 2 days :P | 07:15 |
| Billiard | linuxguy2009: maybe there is a package you need to install gnome alsa mixer or something? | 07:15 |
| indus | especially with 9.10, i had alsa problems also, so i run some gamees with oss | 07:15 |
| linuxguy2009 | Billiard: Thats what Im thinking I just dont know what would be the package for that panel applet to control ALSA. | 07:15 |
| losha | cdm10: I don't think there's a known issue with folder sharing. Doesn't ring a bell... | 07:15 |
| draco1234 | Phoenix325, for example, in /apps/metacity/global_keybindings/run_command_12, you can define the keys that will run whever program you put inside /apps/metacity/keybindings_commands/command_12 | 07:16 |
| cdm10 | losha: bleh. It's working now, but very iffily. It's never worked reliably for me... | 07:16 |
| indus | the thing is, newer distros kill older apps | 07:16 |
| indus | what about the games from 1990 - 2005 , they all suffer with new pulseaudio .alsa etd | 07:16 |
| linuxguy2009 | Billiard: gnome-alsamixer think thats it? | 07:16 |
| indus | but they play nice with oss | 07:16 |
| Billiard | linuxguy2009: could be, you could make a launcher for that, if it doesnt work | 07:17 |
| indus | jiga123123: there is a package called alsa-oss which lets u use oss | 07:17 |
| indus | jiga123123: just install it | 07:17 |
| linuxguy2009 | Billiard: K ill give it a try. | 07:17 |
| indus | jiga123123: it lets you play some apps with oss support | 07:17 |
| jiga123123 | losha: i though 9.10 is should be much faster-better-secure, since its 4 version ahead of 8.04... will i be able to install all cool and useful software on 8.04? | 07:17 |
| armornick | jiga123123: older versions, yes | 07:18 |
| Phoenix325 | draco1234: Just checking in keybinding_commands, I do not see a connection to anything having to do with "show desktop" fron global_keybindings | 07:18 |
| armornick | jiga123123: they will be more tested and stable | 07:18 |
| indus | jiga123123: if you are looking for cool, use 9.10 | 07:18 |
| indus | armornick: why would they be more tested? that version too releases in 6 months | 07:18 |
| bigmack83_ | in gparted, i have a harddrive with a partition at the end of the harddrive. if i expand that partition to the left, will it try to move the data already on the partition or will it keep it there and just expand the partitoin size? i ask because if its going to need to move the data i have a lot of files there and would prefer to move them manually | 07:19 |
| indus | for example, 10.04 work has started just a month ago | 07:19 |
| indus | no reason why it should be more stable really | 07:19 |
| armornick | indus: it's a long term release, which means the packages are stabler because they are working on it longer | 07:19 |
| indus | LTS | 07:19 |
| indus | no body is working on it longer | 07:19 |
| indus | it only means, the support cycle is longer | 07:19 |
| armornick | yes it is, since 10.04 == 9.10 | 07:20 |
| maco | armornick: um no | 07:20 |
| indus | ==? | 07:20 |
| indus | what is that | 07:20 |
| maco | armornick: 9.10 an 10.04 are two different releases | 07:20 |
| bigmack83_ | == = is equal to | 07:20 |
| indus | its not equivalent | 07:20 |
| maco | indus: == is a test for equality | 07:20 |
| === deazel is now known as WeazelON | ||
| indus | yea i know != | 07:20 |
| armornick | maco: i'm explaining it wrong... | 07:20 |
| indus | LTS is long term support , not 'like it stable' | 07:21 |
| draco1234 | Phoenix325, ah yes, I was being more general. "Showing the desktop" is not a command, but a function of the window manager. If you want to try controlling your window manager with terminal comands, install the package "wmctrl" | 07:21 |
| armornick | indus: the underlying packages (kernel, etc) are still the same so they have more time to make it stable | 07:21 |
| maco | armornick: no theyre not | 07:21 |
| maco | armornick: 10.04 will likely have 2.6.32 | 07:21 |
| bigmack83_ | in gparted if i expand a partition to the left will it move the files or keep them there and just expand the partitoin size? | 07:21 |
| indus | armornick: why is the kernel the same? | 07:21 |
| losha | jiga123123: newer isn't always better when it comes to software. | 07:22 |
| jiga123123 | indus: some apps, not all? and the 'cool' i mean my subjective cool, meaning all working the way i want it, and being able to install software that would work and customize the appearance and of course get perforamnce since my cpu is 1.66 and even though it's dual core, it feel slow. | 07:22 |
| maco | armornick: 9.04 has 2.6.31. not the same | 07:22 |
| maco | armornick: we're syncing from Debian Testing for 10.04 | 07:22 |
| indus | jiga123123: hmm | 07:22 |
| abhifx | hi there. i have a simple problem. i have no borders in gnome.can someone help me? | 07:22 |
| jiga123123 | losha: agreed. Which version of the ubuntu u use? | 07:22 |
| maco | indus: the kernel will not be the same. armornick doesn't know what they're talking about | 07:22 |
| indus | jiga123123: try and see what is best for you | 07:22 |
| indus | maco: and you do? :D | 07:22 |
| visitor1 | hi people, anybody managed to install inkscape 0.47 under xubuntu 9.4? | 07:22 |
| losha | indus: I disagree. 8.04 LTS gets important bugfixes without getting new features. Over time, that makes it more stable... | 07:23 |
| maco | indus: i was at UDS and in the kernel team sessions | 07:23 |
| indus | losha: yeah over time yes which is sad | 07:23 |
| indus | losha: it aint stable at release | 07:23 |
| armornick | losha: thanks for saying what I meant to say ;) | 07:23 |
| losha | jiga123123: I use 8.04 lts | 07:23 |
| draco1234 | abhifx, try running the command "metacity --replace" | 07:23 |
| xonecas | Has anyone notice the same website and same browser displaying the fonts incorrectly in ubuntu and fine in windows ? | 07:23 |
| indus | maco: ook | 07:23 |
| Parsi | how to change user password via terminal? | 07:23 |
| jiga123123 | indus: no hmm. I am just NEW to linux!)) that makes me stupid, yep. would things like compiz and other stuff work on 8.10? wifi, lan, graphics, sound, all the stuff? | 07:23 |
| Billiard | visitor1: try installing from the package manager? | 07:24 |
| armornick | xonecas: the webmaster is using windows fonts | 07:24 |
| indus | Parsi: sudo passwd username | 07:24 |
| indus | jiga123123: naah use the latest ones for wireless etc working fine | 07:24 |
| Phoenix325 | Alright, thanks draco1234 and armornick. | 07:24 |
| armornick | xonecas: you have to install the ms fonts | 07:24 |
| Parsi | indus: tnx | 07:24 |
| indus | jiga123123: very nice with 9.10 for wireless etc | 07:24 |
| jiga123123 | losha: thanks! that's good motivation!)) do you have any problems with it? | 07:24 |
| xonecas | armornick, i have installed msttcorefonts | 07:24 |
| armornick | xonecas: then it should work | 07:24 |
| Phoenix325 | I'll keep the "windows manager controlling from terminal thingy" in mind. | 07:24 |
| indus | so whats coming for 10.04 | 07:25 |
| indus | just a cool splash? | 07:25 |
| xonecas | armornick, right, but it doesn't | 07:25 |
| xonecas | armornick, got any ideas for me ? | 07:25 |
| MisterK85 | armornick: I installed it, it worked fine. I had to reboot and now it's not working again. | 07:25 |
| armornick | xonecas: which site, for example? | 07:25 |
| jiga123123 | indus you saying that 8.04 won't support some of the hardware in my laptop? | 07:25 |
| xonecas | like mafia wars app in facebook | 07:25 |
| maco | jiga123123: potentially. if its new hardware thts only supported in newer kernels | 07:25 |
| visitor1 | Billiard, it isnt offer, i downloaded inkscape_0.47-0ubuntu1_i386.deb but i get an error : libglibmm-2.4-1c2a (>= 2.22.0) | 07:25 |
| armornick | MisterK85: strange, I'm using the same chip and it's working perfectly now :s | 07:26 |
| maco | jiga123123: however there are *some* hardware support backports to LTS releases | 07:26 |
| losha | indus: almost all software systems that get bugfixes become more stable over time. The primary cause of instability in software is new features. Honesty forces me to admit that occasionally bugfixes themselves can also destabilise a release... | 07:26 |
| MisterK85 | It won't detect the card anymore. | 07:26 |
| xonecas | the fonts are displayed bigger, hence breaking the layout | 07:26 |
| maco | indus: on ubuntu desktop, i dont know. im a kubuntu person. | 07:26 |

| Phoenix325 | Bye bye everyone. | 07:27 |
| Phoenix325 | Thanks for the support, peace out. | 07:27 |
| maco | sumodumo: please dont | 07:27 |
| losha | jiga123123: it's possible some of your hardware won't be supported. That's what the live cd is for, so you can test that without installing. | 07:27 |
| maco | sumodumo: its crashy and unmaintained, so the bugs wont be fixed | 07:27 |
| sumodumo | maco: please dont? | 07:27 |
| maco | sumodumo: upstream killed it off a long while ago | 07:27 |
| draco1234 | sumodumo, yeah it's called compiz now | 07:27 |
| maco | draco1234: um no | 07:27 |
| sumodumo | LOL i know | 07:27 |
| soreau | draco1234: emerald is a window decorator for compiz | 07:27 |
| maco | sumodumo, draco1234: emerald is a window decorator for beryl or compiz fusion. emerald is not maintained anymore. | 07:28 |
| draco1234 | yeah, exactly | 07:28 |
| maco | sumodumo, draco1234: gtk-window-decorator is more stable and can work with normal metacity themes | 07:28 |
| sumodumo | bleh but when i change my setting for compiz it doesnt do anything | 07:28 |
| armornick | xonecas: well it seems fine, but I don't know how it looks under windows | 07:28 |

| maco | sumodumo: which effect isnt working? | 07:29 |
| draco1234 | sumodumo, enable desktop effects first | 07:29 |
| soreau | sumodumo: You need to enable compiz in sys>prefs>appearance>Visual Effects and set it to something other than None | 07:30 |
| visitor1 | maco, Billiard , but not the latest 0.47 release? | 07:30 |

| maco | visitor1: add the ppa instead of downloading the deb on its own, that way apt can install the dependencies for you | 07:33 |
| jiga123123 | losha, good reminder, appreciate it. you know the date to which 8.04 is supported? | 07:33 |
| losha | !lts | 07:33 |
| ubottu | LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Hardy (Hardy Heron 8.04). The next LTS release is scheduled to be !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) | 07:33 |
| soreau | sumodumo: If you get compiz working with that card, it will be tricky. I am not sure if it has the required features that compiz needs to run | 07:33 |
| soreau | sumodumo: VIA has drivers for the CN896 and P4M900 chipsets which, according to the release notes, support AIGLX and compiz. You can download the drivers here: http://linux.via.com.tw/support/downloadFiles.action | 07:34 |

| Kentoro | i got vlc from software center | 07:36 |
| losha | jiga123123: per the above, 8.04 desktop will be supported until april 2011. Before then, there will be a new lts. If stability is your primary concern (it *is* mine) you can run only LTS releases... | 07:36 |
| Kentoro | still doesnt work, i dont understand mounting and everything | 07:36 |
| soreau | sumodumo: Actually, check sys>admin>hardware drivers first | 07:36 |

| Draconis | thanks :) currently using last.fm ... I just hear so much talk about pandora these days | 08:06 |
| arghh2d2 | pandora > last.fm because of the music genome project | 08:06 |
| Draconis | arghh2d2, eh? | 08:06 |
| switchgirl | arghh2d2, its open to all | 08:07 |
| jiga123123 | losha, i used Reget this particular time, pretty nice software, it speed up, and i think it minimizes errors... does something like that for linux? | 08:07 |
| Visitor15 | I've been using Last.fm since 2006.. Tried Pandora, but didn't like it nearly as much. | 08:07 |
| Kentoro | alright vlc can now play it, but its choppy and broken, still cant play with default player | 08:07 |
| arghh2d2 | i've been using pandora for a long time...tried last.fm once and was like pffft whatever, right back to pandora | 08:08 |
| Draconis | heh crap, sounds like a preference thing | 08:08 |
| losha | jiga123123: someone said Gwget was good. I've never tried it myself... | 08:08 |
| hyperstream | how can i get bigger than 1024 resolution on my Hitachi CM811 Plus, i belive its not detecting my monitor | 08:08 |
| arghh2d2 | yeah except last.fm is the imitator and pandora is the imitated | 08:09 |
| Draconis | really? I thought last.fm was first | 08:09 |
| Toad | yea audioscrobbler is really old | 08:09 |
| judgen | is there a gui app to create gnome icon-themes? | 08:09 |
| Toad | think it predates pandora | 08:09 |
| Toad | also, last.fm uses debian :) | 08:09 |
| arghh2d2 | but last.fm doesnt use the music genome project it just recommends crap that other people like | 08:09 |
| Toad | "music genome project" is just marketing BS for lack of good technology on pandora's side | 08:10 |

| DuckGod | no | 08:11 |
| ShawnRisk | :( | 08:12 |
| DuckGod | it has done this a few times....why? | 08:12 |
| losha | jiga123123: Usually a CD image is burned to a CD, not a DVD. I think it will still work though. As long as it boots, you'll be fine... | 08:12 |
| mpontillo | DuckGod: in that case, right click the panel, click "add to panel", select "notification area" and click "add" to see if it comes back. | 08:12 |

| diddy | Jordan_U, no. I installed Ubuntu 9.10 fresh and made the /tmp partition 15GB. I thought I could file sharing, tmp downloads there, bittorrent seeds, etc. Now I realized that everything there gets deleted on each reboot. | 08:23 |
| TPS | And the old side-by-side partition is there | 08:23 |
| rww | bigmack83_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery might be helpful | 08:23 |

| bigmack83_ | i was extending the partition to the left (in gparted) and shortly after trying to copy the data (automated by gparted) my computer lost power. so now the space to the left of the original partition is a valid partition and where the original partition was, is unallocated space | 08:23 |
| tiaray | I'm having < can anyone please tell what is "initramfs" | 08:23 |
| bigmack83_ | rww, tyvm | 08:24 |
| mattcen | diddy: There's no reason you can't create another tmp directory e.g. /share, with the same permissions as /tmp and use that instead for what you want. | 08:24 |
| diddy | losha, there is no such file | 08:24 |
| Jordan_U | diddy: You can simply mount that partition to /media/files and then /tmp will be on / and you can use the partition how you like | 08:24 |
| tiaray | can anyone please tell what is "initramfs" when ubuntu9.10 boots up | 08:24 |
| Billiard | bigmack83_: you can recreate the partition without formatting in the same place to recover it, im sure there are programs to search for the position of a lost partition if you dont know the exact location | 08:24 |
| diddy | mattcen, yes but now it is too late. I made /tmp 15GB and I don't want to waste 15GB | 08:25 |
| Jordan_U | diddy: You can simply mount that partition to /media/files and then /tmp will be on / and you can use the partition how you like no need to waste the space | 08:25 |
| bigmack83_ | Billiard, well im scanning the drive with testdisk, but its a rather large drive (1TB) so its going to take ages. | 08:25 |
| TPS | ..Anyone read my messages ? | 08:25 |
| diddy | Jordan_U, really? | 08:25 |
| mattcen | diddy: So boot into single user mode (or off a LiveCD), unmount that partition as /tmp, and remount it as /share. Then create /tmp on the root filesystem. | 08:26 |
| Jordan_U | diddy: Yes, just edit your /etc/fstab ( If you need help with specifics feel free to ask ) | 08:26 |
| diddy | ok, thx | 08:26 |
| losha | diddy: well, there is on 8.04. Go to /etc/init.d and grep for tmp. Also, I think directories in /tmp don't get deleted, only files, so you could try that. But note that you adopted the wrong solution really, since you don't want a system that will stop working because you filled up /tmp inadvertently with downloaded files... | 08:26 |

| rww | avishek: did you try "setterm -powersave off -blank 0" already? | 08:29 |
| kekale | Jordan_U, and the reason is, as you might be able to deduce from my answer, that I would have a php script that would enable adding users | 08:29 |
| avishek | losha: But I have two machines with Ubuntu Server 9.10 installed, with 2 different monitors, and both go off at 10 minutes | 08:29 |
| losha | TPS: do you have data you need to save? If not, just select 'use entire disk' during partitioning and install will wipe all the partitions and start from scratch | 08:29 |
| TPS | losha: I have a Windows 7 partition | 08:30 |
| avishek | rww: I tried setterm, but not with blank 0, I'll give it a try | 08:30 |
| losha | avishek: ok, probably not done inside the monitors then... | 08:30 |
| TPS | losha: I have a Windows 7 partition and another partition from when I installed Ubuntu side-by-side | 08:30 |
| kekale | One way would be to add www-data as a sudoer I guess... but that would be a terribly bad one, I guess. | 08:30 |
| floppyears | does anybody here know if boxee works on karmic ? | 08:30 |
| Jordan_U | kekale: You can do that with just /etc/sudoers and useradd but I really suggest you find a pre-made, maintained, and well security audited solution instead | 08:31 |
| Nyha1 | The sound on my eeepc is all f****ed up... when I mute the speakers give me sparkling sound and so on and when the volume goes up its the same... | 08:31 |
| TPS | losha: But I aborted the installation and the partition is still there | 08:31 |
| TPS | So I install side-by-side again ? | 08:31 |
| kekale | Jordan_U, probably the best idea. Any pointers? *g* | 08:31 |
| Jordan_U | kekale: Only thing I can think of off hand is landscape but that's proprietary and costs money | 08:32 |
| losha | TPS: first, make a backup of your windows system. How big is the new partition you made? | 08:32 |

| avishek | rww: I've followed your advice. Thank you! I'll let you know if it works. | 08:33 |

| TPS | Just "/" ? | 08:35 |
| losha | TPS: the best setup is to have 2 ubuntu partitions: one for / (about 10G) and the rest for /home. Use a partitioner to do that. Choose ext3 format. | 08:36 |
| TPS | Oh, okay | 08:36 |
| virgil | hi guys | 08:36 |
| TPS | I think I can set that up | 08:36 |
| TPS | Why two, though ? | 08:36 |
| losha | TPS: you can do that from the live cd, using gparted. | 08:36 |
| TPS | losha: I can, but I'm also already in the partitioner, and I can change it there as well | 08:37 |
| ardchoille | TPS: If you put /home on its own partiton, you can save your $HOME if you ever have to reinstall the OS | 08:37 |
| losha | TPS: one for the OS, the other for any files/data. That way, you can upgrade the OS without losing/changing any data | 08:37 |
| TPS | Ah, okay | 08:37 |
| losha | TPS: you can stick it all on one partition if you want, but this will be easier for later upgrades... | 08:37 |
| TPS | So ext3 is better than ext4 ? | 08:38 |
| ardchoille | TPS: more stable, less problems | 08:38 |
| losha | TPS: ext3 is better for *beginners*.... | 08:38 |
| TPS | Thanks | 08:38 |
| TPS | I'm definitely a beginner | 08:38 |

| ajay-tech | most of the times i have seen 100mb ntfs is when windows has the bootloader | 08:48 |
| losha | ajay-tech: makes sense. Better not to delete it in that case :-) | 08:49 |
| Guest23228 | thanks guys | 08:49 |
| gusty_ | hi. i can i try xfce without installing xubuntu? | 08:49 |
| TPS | losha: sda1 (ntfs): 100 MB / sda2 (ntfs): 501.8 GB / sda 6 (ext3): 9.5 GB / sda7 (ext3): 410.7 GB / sda5 (linux-swap): 9.4 GB | 08:49 |
| Guest23228 | sorry i just restored it from backups | 08:49 |
| TPS | losha: sda6 is "/" | 08:50 |
| gusty_ | hi. i can i try xfce without installing xubuntu? | 08:50 |
| TPS | losha: sda7 is "/home" | 08:50 |
| ajay-tech | or it may be bios | 08:50 |
| kirun | a | 08:50 |
| kirun | semarang | 08:50 |
| rww | gusty_: yes. Install the `xfce4' or `xubuntu-desktop' package. | 08:50 |
| losha | TPS: definitely leave those ntfs filesystems alone! The rest looks fine. Might as well keep the swap partition for now. I think you're ready to proceed.... | 08:51 |
| gusty_ | rww: are both same? | 08:51 |
| TPS | Thanks losha ! | 08:51 |

| Mud | ey guys | 09:32 |
| indus | i hate awn but anyways | 09:32 |
| stix | soreau, okay, then I don't get it when you say it is a graphics driver issue | 09:32 |
| Mud | I am running ubuntu 8.04 and I created a user | 09:32 |
| Mud | but when I login as that user, I dont have any [tab]functions etc | 09:32 |
| littlegreen | Mud try typing all in one line | 09:32 |
| Mud | and ps dont show the basshell | 09:32 |

| ActionParsnip1 | indus: simdock is much slicker, doesnt require compositing either :D | 09:33 |
| indus | ShawnRisk: hello? | 09:33 |
| indus | ShawnRisk: there? | 09:33 |
| soreau | stix: When you suspend, the kernel needs to store the state of the machine, all registers of the hardware etc. The most significant part of this is the graphics hardware state | 09:33 |
| ShawnRisk | indus: would but I can't connect on the linux laptop | 09:34 |
| indus | unless i find something as slick and well integrated like in a mac, i aint using decorators | 09:34 |
| indus | ShawnRisk: does it wokr ok in windows | 09:34 |
| indus | ShawnRisk: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/38493 maybe this helps | 09:34 |
| soreau | stix: When it fails, it is most likely something failed so instead of storing a bad state, it aborts and bounces right back | 09:35 |
| ShawnRisk | indus: yes and mac | 09:35 |
| soreau | stix: But like I said, your best course of action is to file a bug describing your problem and hardware specs | 09:35 |
| stix | soreau, okay - I will have a look in /var/log/messages next time | 09:35 |
| stix | soreau, yes okay | 09:36 |
| indus | ShawnRisk: so you see networks in the network panel ? but cant connect to it is that correct? | 09:36 |
| ShawnRisk | indus: yes | 09:36 |
| indus | ShawnRisk: can i see a screenshot of tjhis? | 09:37 |
| indus | !paste | ShawnRisk | 09:37 |

| Lxcc-Vincenzo | hi all, i want to see/modify/convert jpeg2000 files, how i can do it? | 09:38 |
| luckymurali | hi to all | 09:38 |
| luckymurali | how can i delete all the lines in a files when the line consists of non printable character??? | 09:38 |
| ShawnRisk | it worked | 09:40 |
| Jordan_U | luckymurali: strings file > newfile ( do NOT do strings file > file as that will delete the file ) | 09:40 |
| luckymurali | Jordan_U, hi | 09:40 |
| Jordan_U | luckymurali: Hi | 09:41 |
| luckymurali | ok i try this | 09:41 |
| luckymurali | thanks | 09:41 |
| rhorse | luckymurali: just rm file and then touch file | 09:41 |
| ShawnRisk | indus: was connected for a second, now it said failed, and still searching now. | 09:41 |
| Jordan_U | luckymurali: np | 09:41 |
| indus | ShawnRisk: good, keep try | 09:41 |
| luckymurali | rhorse, I am not getting u | 09:41 |
| indus | ShawnRisk: you mean you could surf for a sec | 09:41 |
| indus | luckymurali: touch is a commadn to create a new empty file | 09:41 |
| RussellAlan | Anyone, http://paste.ubuntu.com/331563/ | 09:42 |
| Mud | anyone a idea how to get bashshell working under a normal account on ubuntu 8.04 server? | 09:42 |
| luckymurali | indus, ok | 09:42 |
| ShawnRisk | indus: didn't get the chance, it just said connected and now it is searching and the password box came up again | 09:42 |
| Mud | I miss very basic commands as [tab] etc | 09:42 |
| luckymurali | :) | 09:42 |
| Jordan_U | Mud: Bash is the default shell for new users | 09:43 |
| indus | ShawnRisk: which parameters are you using for connecting | 09:43 |
| Mud | Jordan_U: apperently not for that account | 09:43 |
| Jordan_U | Mud: How did you create the user? | 09:43 |
| grawity | Mud: chsh -s /bin/bash theusername | 09:43 |
| ShawnRisk | indus: WEP 40/128-bit key | 09:43 |
| Mud | adduser with -d and -m parameters | 09:43 |
| indus | ShawnRisk: what is the other values? index etc | 09:44 |
| indus | Mud: always use the persons nick when speaking, so it highlights and makes it easier to respond to :)] | 09:44 |
| Mud | ok indus | 09:44 |
| ShawnRisk | indus: how to check? | 09:44 |
| Mud | grawity; gonna try it now | 09:44 |
| RussellAlan | what's the ubuntu server channel#? | 09:45 |
| indus | ShawnRisk: in that netwrok manger window, under wireless security | 09:45 |
| indus | #ubuntu-server | 09:45 |
| Mud | grawity: that worked :o thanx! | 09:45 |
| indus | grawity: chsh is for change shell? | 09:45 |
| grawity | indus: Yeah | 09:46 |
| Mud | grawity: what did cause the problem? | 09:46 |
| RussellAlan | odd, i typed the same thing a second ago and it wasnt there, | 09:46 |
| RussellAlan | -D | 09:46 |
| ShawnRisk | indus: 1 | 09:46 |
| CHESLYN | can anyone help me with my 'apt-get'.i can install any package , i even tried to upgrade.i think it has a problem with the ''archive'' any help guys | 09:46 |
| indus | ShawnRisk: maybe try with 2 ? also is it a shared key or open system | 09:46 |
| ActionParsnip1 | CHESLYN: can you give a pastebin of: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get --reinstall install gedit thanks. Use http://pastebin.com | 09:46 |
| Mud | grawity: I have a 'administrator' account (and can sudo) and that one dont had that problems..very strange :) | 09:47 |
| ShawnRisk | indus: shows open system | 09:47 |
| indus | ShawnRisk: under ipv4 do you see any ip addresses | 09:47 |
| flaviotruzzi | I am getting a memory leak when using matplotlib savefig in ubuntu 9.10 | 09:47 |
| ShawnRisk | indus: nope | 09:47 |
| indus | ShawnRisk: so tht is a problem, you should see some ips its unable to grab any | 09:48 |
| indus | ShawnRisk: try value 2 | 09:48 |
| ShawnRisk | ok | 09:48 |
| wubuntu | Hey, my volume and network stuff disappeared from my panel | 09:49 |
| indus | ShawnRisk: then see if you can apply that settings, if yes then check for ip adress again | 09:49 |
| indus | wubuntu: right click on panel and add to panel , add the volume panel , | 09:49 |
| CHESLYN | ActionParsnip1: let me 1ste try sudo apt-get --reinstall gedit.i'll get back to you, thanks alot | 09:50 |
| ActionParsnip1 | wubuntu: right click panel -> add item add it back | 09:50 |
| indus | wubuntu: network panel cant be added that way , will reappear on login | 09:50 |
| miklos | anybody with acer emachines? | 09:50 |
| wubuntu | indus, ActionParsnip1 | 09:50 |
| ActionParsnip1 | CHESLYN: sure, if you get any interesting output use the link I gave to provide the output here | 09:50 |
| wubuntu | They aren't in the add item | 09:50 |
| wubuntu | And network didn't come back after relog | 09:50 |
| indus | wubuntu: volume control applet is always there | 09:51 |
| ActionParsnip1 | wubuntu: you have to run nm-applet to get that back | 09:51 |
| wubuntu | ActionParsnip1: How do I run that ? | 09:51 |
| indus | wubuntu: for network just open terminal and type nm-applet | 09:51 |
| CHESLYN | ActionParsnip1: thanks again i'll try it | 09:51 |
| AmbrNewlearner | Hello, I'm trying to configure my usb interface for ADSL 2+ router...But ubuntu doesnot shows my usb interface in ifconfig output | 09:51 |
| AmbrNewlearner | Here: http://pastebin.com/m53a2c11f | 09:51 |
| ActionParsnip1 | wubuntu: sounds like you have removed the system tray or notification area | 09:51 |
| ActionParsnip1 | wubuntu: press alt+f2 type: nm-applet press enter | 09:52 |
| wubuntu | Didn't work | 09:52 |
| AmbrNewlearner | This is my tailing part of dmesg | 09:52 |
| wubuntu | ** (nm-applet:6054): WARNING **: <WARN> request_name(): Could not acquire the session service as it is already taken. Return: 3 | 09:52 |
| wubuntu | ** (nm-applet:6054): WARNING **: <WARN> constructor(): Couldn't initialize the D-Bus manager. | 09:52 |
| SmokeyD | hey everyone, how can I make my wireless lan card connect on startup of the machine, instead of on login? It is using wpa2 encryption | 09:52 |
| indus | wubuntu: yeah go to system monitor and kill nm-applet first | 09:52 |
| indus | wubuntu: then run the command again | 09:52 |
| ShawnRisk | indus: I tried that and it came back with athentication box again. There is nothing showing up for IP Address and it is Auto DCHP. I also edited it manually to change the value to 2 | 09:53 |
| indus | wubuntu: then go to system>preferences>sessions or startup applications and add nm-applet to it and save | 09:53 |
| theadmin | Something crazy just happened. When I booted, on white Karmic logo, it said something like "Checking filesystem", what is that all about? | 09:53 |
| SmokeyD | right now I have to login first, before the macine comes online, but I want it to go online already on startup so I can ssh into it and stuff | 09:53 |
| ActionParsnip1 | wubuntu: you won't get that if you use the alt+f2 menu like I said, you used a terminal which will make the applet close when you close the terminal | 09:53 |
| SmokeyD | I am running ubuntu karmic | 09:53 |
| indus | ShawnRisk: it should be auto ip? you have static ? | 09:53 |
| soreau | SmokeyD: Write a script to connect and put it in /etc/rc.local | 09:53 |
| AmbrNewlearner | Here is my ifconfig: http://pastebin.com/m682176cd | 09:53 |
| indus | ShawnRisk: iam not a network expert, i have static ip at work so it shows , maybe for you its dhcp | 09:53 |
| ActionParsnip1 | theadmin: the system has been mounted 30 times so a scheduled file system check is running to make sure the data is ok | 09:53 |
| AmbrNewlearner | Any ideas? | 09:54 |
| virl | hi, does anybody in here uses mono_mod on his apache webserver? and does it work there with mass virtual hosts? | 09:54 |
| theadmin | ActionParsnip1: Ain't running fsck on a mounted system dangerous? | 09:54 |
| wubuntu | indus: Neither of those are there | 09:54 |
| ShawnRisk | indus: not that I know of. I have auto ip, | 09:54 |
| SmokeyD | soreau: hmm, what script should I write? Does network manager work when I am not logged in? Or should I disable network manager completely if I want this? | 09:54 |
| wubuntu | Setup and startup | 09:54 |
| wubuntu | Neither are there | 09:54 |
| ActionParsnip1 | theadmin: its not mounted, its unmounted beforethe check. but yes checking a monted partition is not good | 09:54 |
| indus | ShawnRisk: ok hmm did you restart the router ? it works a lot of times :) | 09:54 |
| theadmin | ActionParsnip1: Ah. Okay. Thanks | 09:54 |
| indus | ShawnRisk: and leave ipv4 to auto dhcp its correct | 09:55 |
| wubuntu | Nevermind, I see it | 09:55 |
| ActionParsnip1 | SmokeyD: could use /etc/network/interfaces file instead of network manager etc, this will configure the device before logon | 09:55 |
| ShawnRisk | indus: but would restarting work if I am working on it now on another laptop? | 09:55 |
| indus | ShawnRisk: aah no i guess | 09:55 |
| indus | ShawnRisk: wait | 09:56 |
| soreau | SmokeyD: I disable all network manager facilities and use wpa-supplicant for the job | 09:56 |
| indus | ActionParsnip1: so what does one do if wireless detects networks but cant connect | 09:56 |
| AmbrNewlearner | Anyone knows how to config my usb router interface? | 09:56 |
| SmokeyD | soreau: ok, thanks | 09:56 |
| soreau | SmokeyD: ActionParsnip1s suggestion might be better though I have not tested that route | 09:56 |
| miklos | KDE 4 plays the music and goes blackscreen | 09:56 |
| indus | ShawnRisk: so the password window keeps apprearing? | 09:56 |
| ActionParsnip1 | indus: disable security and try again | 09:56 |
| indus | ShawnRisk: so set security none and see | 09:57 |
| PFA | hey, i'm having ridiculous problems w/ hibernate on critical battery power on karmic. first is that it hibernates even *after* i plug in the adapter, sometimes seemingly when it still has tons of power left (and always right after); second is that when it wakes up often it blackscreens and freezes until i press the power button and force shut down. | 09:57 |
| ShawnRisk | indus: okay | 09:57 |
| ActionParsnip1 | PFA: hibernate is a real PITA to get working | 09:57 |
| frogzoo | woohoo - got my 3G modem to cooperate with network manager - that was a long haul | 09:57 |
| theadmin | PFA: Second one is known of, I have the same problem. Did you try Alt+SysRq+K when it is blackscreened? | 09:57 |
| PFA | ActionParsnip1, good to know -- probably shouldn't be enabled by default then. theadmin -- no, i didn't know that command existed, but i will try it next time; thank you | 09:58 |
| PFA | theadmin, what does it do? | 09:58 |
| SmokeyD | soreau: this sounds interesting: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202834 | 09:58 |
| theadmin | PFA: Kills all apps in current VT (restarts Xserver, if you wish)... It's not very good, but better then hard reset | 09:59 |
| ActionParsnip1 | PFA: ifits a laptop, you may find guides based on make / model | 09:59 |
| AmbrNewlearner | Any body? | 09:59 |
| ShawnRisk | indus: it is creating a new connection everytime I try to connect to the same network. I changed the security to none | 09:59 |
| PFA | ah... | 09:59 |
| indus | ShawnRisk: ya let it create, just see if it connects | 09:59 |
| ActionParsnip1 | AmbrNewlearner: usbrouter interface? | 10:00 |
| ShawnRisk | indus: it shows the password box | 10:00 |
| indus | ShawnRisk: for no security? what | 10:00 |
| PFA | well, thanks. i didn't see much solution on google, just others with the same problem... was hoping someone would know off the top of their heads | 10:00 |
| PFA | i've set it to go suspend on low battery for now, although that seem sto have similar issues. | 10:00 |
| soreau | SmokeyD: Looks good, try it out | 10:00 |
| ShawnRisk | indus: I know. | 10:00 |
| PFA | wish i could just disable it entirely. | 10:00 |
| ActionParsnip1 | AmbrNewlearner: so, do you have a router which you connect to via USB? | 10:00 |
| PFA | take care, all | 10:00 |
| cbx33 | anyone else find the netbook remix launcher REALLY slow on some older systems? | 10:00 |
| AmbrNewlearner | ActionParsnip1: yes | 10:00 |
| maco | cbx33: its composited isnt it? makes sense | 10:01 |
| indus | ShawnRisk: hmm if its asking for password then i dont know whats happening, wait i try at my place | 10:01 |
| theadmin | cbx33: Well, yeah, it can be slow.... you probably should try Xubuntu. | 10:01 |
| ActionParsnip1 | AmbrNewlearner: is it detected as a netwok device in: sudo lshw -C network | 10:01 |
| ActionParsnip1 | cbx33: or lxde | 10:01 |
| ShawnRisk | indus: trying | 10:01 |
| ActionParsnip1 | cbx33: some have reported slowness, it does have a higher minimum spec than xubuntu/lxde etc | 10:01 |
| cbx33 | well | 10:02 |
| cbx33 | gnome woks fine on the machine | 10:02 |
| cbx33 | firefox too | 10:02 |
| cbx33 | everything except the launcher | 10:02 |
| ActionParsnip1 | cbx33: then use it if you are happy with the performance | 10:02 |
| indus | hello check | 10:02 |
| cbx33 | i am | 10:02 |
| cbx33 | it's just concerning that such a simple program is giving such a negative impression of ubuntu | 10:03 |
| CHESLYN | ActionParsnip1: it gives me ''Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?'' if i tried to sudo apt-get | 10:03 |
| indus | ShawnRisk: sure you got the wep key right? | 10:03 |
| ActionParsnip1 | CHESLYN: ok run: sudo apt-get -f install | 10:03 |
| ShawnRisk | indus: as far as I know | 10:04 |
| indus | ShawnRisk: RECONfigure router and get a fresh wep key | 10:04 |
| ActionParsnip1 | indus: does it connect without security? | 10:04 |
| ShawnRisk | indus: nope | 10:04 |
| indus | ActionParsnip1: ShawnRisk says it opens a new connection window | 10:04 |
| indus | ShawnRisk: which version of ubuntu are you ? | 10:05 |
| ShawnRisk | 9.10 | 10:05 |
| ActionParsnip1 | cbx33: its like any DE/WM type thing, ome love it, some hate it | 10:05 |
| indus | ShawnRisk: i think ActionParsnip1 can cguide a little better | 10:05 |
| danielle | where are the downloaded debs in ubuntu? | 10:05 |
| maco | cbx33: you can just use gnome without the unr launcher... | 10:06 |
| indus | danielle: packages.ubuntu.com | 10:06 |
| ActionParsnip1 | ShawnRisk: disable all security on the router and attempt connection. If it connects then your WEP key is wrong or you are selecting the wrong type of WEP | 10:06 |
| danielle | no in the operating system :D | 10:06 |
| soreau | indus: He means on the system | 10:06 |
| indus | soreau: oh ! | 10:06 |
| ActionParsnip1 | cbx33: some love compiz, i think its garbage | 10:06 |
| cbx33 | ActionParsnip1: I disagree - it's been written for lower end machines, and someone would download the netbook remix....try it and go back ot windows | 10:06 |
| ActionParsnip1 | cbx33: that kind of jazz | 10:06 |
| indus | danielle: /var/cache/apt/archives i believe | 10:06 |
| ShawnRisk | indus: I think the problem was that I wasn't connected to the network the whole time, I disconnected and when I reconnected it opened a new connection. | 10:06 |
| danielle | thankyou | 10:06 |
| ActionParsnip1 | cbx33: i use windows daily for work | 10:07 |
| CHESLYN | ActionParsnip1: it gives 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 166 not upgraded.what now? | 10:07 |
| maco | cbx33: netbooks arent really lower end... not in the way the 8 year old machine im using that handles compiz just fine is | 10:07 |
| soreau | ActionParsnip1: Why do you hate compiz so much? | 10:07 |
| ActionParsnip1 | CHESLYN: ok run: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade use: http://pastebin.com to give the output | 10:07 |
| cbx33 | maco: agreed | 10:07 |
| indus | ShawnRisk: you should go back and start over , and like ActionParsnip1 said, disable security on router | 10:07 |
| ShawnRisk | ActionParsnip1: nope because it is working on other computers mac and windows. | 10:07 |
| nightstrike | Hello everyone. Nothing I do is disabling the visual beep in my terminal (i'm using terminator). What do I do? | 10:07 |
| cbx33 | I run on a 6 year old notebook | 10:07 |
| cbx33 | and it's blazingly fast | 10:07 |
| AmbrNewlearner | ActionParsnip1: No it is not detected | 10:08 |
| cbx33 | but because the launcher is an initial impression thing | 10:08 |
| ActionParsnip1 | soreau: makes stuff take too long for my liking, plus it achieves nothing but some pretty colours which I am totally disinterested in | 10:08 |
| ShawnRisk | indus: not going to work | 10:08 |
| maco | cbx33: did they have netbooks 6 years ago? | 10:08 |
| cbx33 | and it's a "new" product - i think it's a little poor that it's so slow | 10:08 |
| indus | ShawnRisk: no? why | 10:08 |
| cbx33 | maco i said notebook :p | 10:08 |
| ActionParsnip1 | AmbrNewlearner: ok run: lsusb one line will identify the device and you can search for guides using the 8 didgit hex ID | 10:08 |
| soreau | ActionParsnip1: Sounds like you should hate your graphics drivers | 10:08 |
| __machine | libapache2-mod-wsgi seems to be missing from my hardy install? aptitude search wsgi yields only python2.5-wsgiref ... ? | 10:08 |
| ActionParsnip1 | soreau: no as I play 3D games | 10:08 |
| maco | cbx33: right, so unr is aimed at netbooks....none of which are more than 2 yr old | 10:08 |
| === kane77 is now known as Student10 | ||
| cbx33 | ok...nevermind....i give up | 10:09 |
| ShawnRisk | indus: I have two other computers connected and it shouldn't be anything but the linux machine | 10:09 |
| soreau | ActionParsnip1: compiz reveals many bugs in graphics drivers that may not be demonstrated by other 3D apps | 10:09 |
| indus | ShawnRisk: yeah i believe you | 10:09 |
| ActionParsnip1 | soreau: if i minimise something I want it to be gone, instantly, not do some pointless animation. stuff like that, when i switch desktops its instantaneous, I dont want to see the edge of a cube go past my screen. it achieves zero except to slow the operation down | 10:09 |
| HolySnapBatman | i have a partition that got deleted (ntfs) when trying to resize it due to power loss. now the space where the partition was is unallocated space. instead of going through the legthy process of rescuing and copying the files (over 100GB) is there a way i can just restore the partition? from what i can tell only the partition table was deleted and not the data | 10:09 |
| CHESLYN | ActionParsnip1: must i copy and paste it for you? | 10:09 |
| indus | ShawnRisk:maybe its oyur laptop? the wireless on it? | 10:10 |
| ActionParsnip1 | soreau: penumbra and frets on fire work perfectly, its all i need | 10:10 |
| Lxcc-Vincenzo | anyone know how to see/modify/convert jpeg2000 files? | 10:10 |
| soreau | ActionParsnip1: You probably use proprietary graphics drivers. Am I right? | 10:10 |
| indus | windows and mac are diff machines isnt it ? | 10:10 |
| ActionParsnip1 | soreau: nvidia all the way | 10:10 |
| cbx33 | It is this bug: | 10:10 |
| cbx33 | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/jaunty/+source/linux/+bug/349314/ | 10:10 |
| ActionParsnip1 | CHESLYN: yes, use pastebin. copy the text to the bin, hit paste, when the page changes copy the new address in the address bar and paste it here | 10:10 |
| cbx33 | It is painfully slow. But, if you install the kernel mentioned in there, it will be nice and fast again. The problem is bad Intel drivers not supporting something that is needed in the launcher. | 10:10 |
| indus | windows and mac are diff machines isnt it ? ShawnRisk ? or you dual boot | 10:10 |
| FloodBot5 | cbx33: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 10:10 |
| ShawnRisk | indus: I used windows on there before and it worked but was disconnecting often. no dual boot | 10:10 |
| soreau | ActionParsnip1: Yea, you are just confused. It is ok, a lot of people are confused and think nvidia is the only graphics card | 10:10 |
| bsusa | hello all | 10:11 |
| ActionParsnip1 | soreau: no i dont at all, i just use it due to awesome support in linux | 10:11 |
| indus | ShawnRisk: hmm was disconnecting often, maybe a hardware issue? | 10:11 |
| ShawnRisk | indus: oh | 10:11 |
| ActionParsnip1 | soreau: i only use what works amazingly. i only but from the hcl. I have had an awesome experience with nvidia so its all i buy | 10:11 |
| bsusa | could someone please assist me on how to caibrate a touchscreen in Ubuntu 8.04? | 10:11 |
| indus | ShawnRisk: :) | 10:11 |
| schwezzy | ActionParsnip1: yeah amd is a real pain | 10:11 |
| schwezzy | ActionParsnip1: err ati | 10:12 |
| ActionParsnip1 | soreau: don't patronise me like that | 10:12 |
| ShawnRisk | indus: what to do? | 10:12 |
| indus | ShawnRisk: do one thing, try a windows dual boot on this laptop and see if it connects. if no then its a laptop issue with wireless switch | 10:12 |
| aaron11 | Do you guys know if Alien Arena game will work on my computer? I tried Freedoom but it crashes after a period of time for some reason. Even Kiki The Nano bot, when I reach the level where you have to pass dumb nanobots it crashes. | 10:12 |

| dustybunny1 | Hello | 10:14 |
| ActionParsnip1 | soreau: they have worked flawlessly even when i had my TNT2 Ultra 32mb under mandrake. Works for me, if you wanna use other stuff thats cool too | 10:14 |
| GamerKnight | anyone know much about GPT/MBR in here??? | 10:14 |
| frogzoo | seravitae: would you believe... strace? | 10:14 |
| indus | ShawnRisk: the only way to findout is if other laptops catch it fine | 10:14 |
| seravitae | lol frogzoo yeah i just checked *facepalm* | 10:14 |
| ActionParsnip1 | AmbrNewlearner: copy the 8 didgit hex id and search it in a web searchengine | 10:15 |
| seravitae | i just expected it to be some small tool in some larger package. | 10:15 |
| HolySnapBatman | is there anyway to just restore a deleted ntfs partition instead of using ddrescue and having to copy all the files? i have over 150GB of files and would rather not have to copy them if i can just restore the partition | 10:15 |
| frogzoo | seravitae: apt-cache search blah - in future | 10:15 |
| ShawnRisk | indus: oh | 10:15 |
| soreau | ActionParsnip1: I have an nvidia, intel and ati box. ati wins. | 10:15 |

| indus | ShawnRisk: yeah the other laptops if you can load ubuntu and check | 10:15 |
| ActionParsnip1 | soreau: for you yes, for me nvidia is great. Thats why both companys exist | 10:16 |
| indus | ShawnRisk: it will point to a hardware issue (minor issue probably) with this laptop | 10:16 |
| GamerKnight | ActionParsnip1: i am un sure these days | 10:16 |
| indus | soreau: why ati wins? | 10:16 |
| indus | soreau: AMD rather | 10:16 |
| ActionParsnip1 | GamerKnight: its all individual taste like anything, even OSes, cars, drinks, food, music | 10:17 |
| soreau | indus: For a lot of reasons but mostly because nvidia loses by default | 10:17 |
| GamerKnight | ActionParsnip1: i think amd will come out with some nice stuff next year. with the whole ati merge thing. there boards, there processors, there graphics GPUs. lets face it GPUs have been advancing alot faster than CPU in the past 10 years | 10:17 |
| ActionParsnip1 | soreau: GamerKnight: loads of stuff, just use what you like and let the other people use what they like, it doesnt affect you in any way what other folks choose to use or not use so let them get on with it | 10:17 |
| ShawnRisk | indus: if you feel that is the way | 10:17 |
| schwezzy | dual core gpu's | 10:18 |
| schwezzy | that would be so cool | 10:18 |
| GamerKnight | ActionParsnip1: Just look at how well Nvidia mother boards work with nvidta grphics cards | 10:18 |
| indus | soreau: loses by default? which default | 10:18 |
| ActionParsnip1 | GamerKnight: i dont pay attention to it. I know both exist and know what will run the stuff i need for cheapest, so i go for that | 10:18 |

| ShawnRisk | indus: thanks for the help | 10:20 |
| indus | ShawnRisk: welcome | 10:20 |

| ubuntu_ | save your settings first | 10:51 |
| porkpie | ubuntu_: I can't | 10:51 |
| porkpie | it's running a radius server | 10:51 |
| pendlaren | soreau: Any way to find out if I used another driver on 9.04? :-/ | 10:51 |
| ubuntu_ | which means? | 10:51 |
| ubuntu_ | egdy is 6.10, isnt it? | 10:52 |
| porkpie | ubuntu_: I don't want to reconfigure it | 10:52 |
| porkpie | yeah 6.10 | 10:52 |
| schwezzy | soreau: do i have to restart after changing that setting? it didn't seem to do anything | 10:52 |
| arand | ubuntu_: Is this relevant (-> try removing dmraid in the livecd)?: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/459054 | 10:52 |
| ubuntu_ | porkpie, save your settings away and apply them afterwards | 10:52 |
| ubuntu_ | arand, it is! | 10:52 |
| ubuntu_ | and sudo apt-get remove dmraid solved the problem | 10:53 |
| soreau | pendlaren: There have been a lot of changes in the open drivers both in kernel and user components. You are sorta in limbo because fglrx no longer supports your card. What you can do though is update your drivers with the xorg-edgers repo iirc | 10:53 |
| pendlaren | porkpie: keep your radius server on other partition(s) than your system | 10:53 |
| ubuntu_ | so i wanted someone to post it on ubuntuforums.org as it was the first post to appear on my google search of the problem | 10:53 |
| soreau | schwezzy: If you set it to Extra without error, that means your 3D is working ok and compiz is working | 10:53 |
| Krambiorix | nobody ??? i get an error when i try to gedit [file] -> Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: localhost:0.0 | 10:54 |
| q0_0p | schwezzy, now apt-get install simple-ccsm | 10:54 |
| pendlaren | soreau: I see, I'll try xorg-edgers - already added them to my repository, but wanted to check which driver I was currently running first :) thanks for your time!! | 10:54 |
| soreau | Krambiorix: I asked you from where you are running this command. You said from local. I meant are you running it from X or ssh | 10:54 |
| arand | ubuntu_: ah, ok, I'll do that, no prob, just a pointer to the bug report and hint to remove the package. | 10:55 |
| Krambiorix | soreau : just from a terminal window | 10:55 |
| utrrrongeeb | Krambiorix: You're launching it from Xorg (the desktop), from a Terminal window, or are you at a VT? | 10:55 |
| Krambiorix | utrrrongeeb : terminal window | 10:55 |
| schwezzy | soreau: oh i meant 3d for games, they never seem to work | 10:55 |
| schwezzy | q0_0p: thanks, what's this? | 10:55 |
| soreau | Krambiorix: Terminal is subjective. You can run it from a tty terminal, ssh terminal, X terminal etc | 10:55 |
| ubuntu_ | arand, ye, i am here using the xubuntu 9.10 live-cd and a simple `sudo apt-get remove` dmraid solved the problem. alt+f2 => xterm ftw, but it should be removable via synaptic, too | 10:56 |
| soreau | schwezzy: What's wrong with what 3D game? | 10:56 |
| Krambiorix | soreau : X Terminal from my desktop | 10:56 |
| q0_0p | schwezzy, 3d desktop | 10:56 |
| soreau | Krambiorix: Then I don't know what's wrong. Try a new terminal? otherwise something is screwed up on your system | 10:56 |
| utrrrongeeb | Krambiorix: what results does 'echo $DISPLAY' give? | 10:56 |
| schwezzy | soreau: i don't have anything specific offhand, i haven't messed with it in quite a long time, I'll try and install a 3d game from the repos and report back | 10:57 |
| soreau | utrrrongeeb: It will likely say 0.0 | 10:57 |
| utrrrongeeb | Krambiorix: Normally it should return ":0.0". | 10:57 |
| soreau | schwezzy: Should be working AFAICT | 10:57 |
| Krambiorix | utrrrongeeb: localhost:0.0 | 10:57 |

| joedulin | theadmin, yeah, i figured it would be which is why i asked. oh well, time to go play | 11:27 |
| decora | alankila: how are you setting your layout? | 11:27 |
| ActionParsnip1 | alankila: log a bug | 11:28 |
| alankila | I use the gnome keyboard features. And I wrote it into /etc/default/console-setup as well | 11:28 |
| joedulin | alankila, i used to have that problem until i upgraded to 9.10. seems to be working fine now | 11:28 |
| alankila | but it tends to keep on coming up with USA despite I try apply it for myself and setting it system-wide | 11:28 |
| alankila | it's right at bootup, it's just GNOME that messes it up | 11:28 |
| decora | alankila: system preferences keyboards layouts? which layout are you using? are there any messages in your logfiles about layout problems? | 11:29 |
| === Jordan_ is now known as Guest51630 | ||

| decora | when you add the layout to your layouts, and you click 'finnish' language, it lists 4 variants... you had to click on one of them | 11:30 |
| decora | alankila: you just told me you set the layout using the gnome tools | 11:30 |
| ActionParsnip1 | alankila: try looking in /etc/sysconfig/keyboard maybe | 11:30 |
| _du | I'm no familiar with readlines scan codes, so i can't do this myself :( | 11:31 |
| alankila | ActionParsnip1: no such file, perhaps you are red hat user? | 11:31 |
| ActionParsnip1 | alankila: not sure, jeeves suggested it | 11:31 |
| _du | In short, the problem is Ctrl-left/right_narrow produces 3D and 3C sequences only | 11:31 |
| ActionParsnip1 | alankila: http://www.thoughtpolice.co.uk/vmware/howto/1-minute-guide.html | 11:32 |
| decora | alankila: if you go into keyboard preferences / layouts and look there, it should list finnish... what does it list on yours? | 11:32 |
| alankila | decora: it lists finnish and USA when I boot up | 11:32 |
| alankila | the problem is that USA is selected by default, and I have to do something random like delete the USA option before I get Finnish layout | 11:33 |

| ActionParsnip1 | mrjoe_: system -> prefs -> display | 11:54 |
| Cale | jiga123123: In earlier versions of ubuntu, it's a good idea to remove pulseaudio. I've removed it in karmic, but it took about a day and a half of screwing around to work out that I have to rebuild a few packages from source with different flags to get things like the volume control to work properly. | 11:54 |

| mrjoe_ | oops, that was meant for ActionParsnip1 | 11:55 |
| ActionParsnip1 | mrjoe_: then you may have to define it in xorg.conf | 11:55 |
| diddy | ardchoille, ignore what line? | 11:55 |
| alankila | Okay, that fixed it. If I set the default to Finalnd, GDM at least has the decency to remember my choice. The reason I never noticed this before looking for it is that these controls for selecting keyboard and session do not appear until I select my user account at gdm main panel. At this point my eyes are focused on the panel and I never even noticed these options until I knew to look for them. | 11:56 |
| decora | dsample: and what are youd oing when you get that error message? | 11:56 |
| mrjoe_ | ActionParsnip1, /etc/X11/xorg.conf? cuz when i go to edit it there's nothing... | 11:56 |
| Faithful | I'm trying to get sftp server to work as part as ssh server. But when try to connect with sftp I get subsystem request failed... I have googled till the cows came home... but I still haven't figured it. | 11:56 |
| decora | alankila: i would file a user interface bug on that | 11:56 |
| ActionParsnip1 | mrjoe_: yes, you need to find a skeleton file you can edit | 11:56 |
| ActionParsnip1 | mrjoe_: or find out how you can generate one | 11:57 |
| dsample | decora: installer starts, I choose my language, keyboard layout, then it comes up with that error | 11:57 |
| alankila | decora: well, I'm not sure what the point is to complain. Some people obviously prefer the simplicity of not having too many controls. I just think, personally, that these controls are in the wrong place, too far away from the eyes. But then again, they're probably placed there for just this reason: to not distract the user. | 11:57 |
| mrjoe_ | ActionParsnip1, gah, so much work just to play a game. | 11:57 |
| dsample | decora: the dialog behind the error says "Detecting hardware to find hard drives" | 11:57 |
| alankila | it just took a long time for me to realize that GDM is probably feeding the wrong keyboard layout, but once such suspicion did occur to me then it was easy to check. | 11:58 |
| Faithful | is sftp supposed to be running as a service... because I don't see it. | 11:58 |
| rohdef | where can I find info on writing startup scripts (not the init scripts) | 11:59 |
| alankila | however, the real bug is having more than one way to muck with the keyboard. Either you set it at GDM or you set it from within GNOME. But having *both* options at the same time is annoying. :-/ | 11:59 |

| ActionParsnip1 | mrjoe_: sure, or rename so you can review the file | 12:04 |
| alankila | and the very bug I thought of adding is already in GDM Wishlist section. GDM is oblivious of user's preferred choice of keyboard, and that is the bug I thought I'll add. | 12:04 |

| JerVA | Hello. I have a question about Lucid Lynx - 10.04 next release concerning LPIA. | 12:22 |
| decora | SuperDefenderX: use dpkg and --listfiles or whatever, man dpkg | 12:22 |
| JerVA | I have Pentium 4 processor - is that part of the LPIA? | 12:22 |
| SuperDefenderX | ActionParsnip: Then how do you know where to find the one file that launches the program? | 12:22 |
| plustax | it doesnt offer any boot options | 12:22 |
| grawity | SuperDefenderX: The system checks all directories in $PATH. Go to terminal, type "echo $PATH" | 12:22 |
| ActionParsnip1 | SuperDefenderX: lib files can e shared between softwares making downloads smaller, they will go in /usr/lib /usr/lib32 and /usr/lib64. Other files will go into other places like some icons will go into /usr/share/pixmaps. A binary will sit in /usr/bin and be the thing you run, but when it does it will use all the other things it needs | 12:22 |
| ActionParsnip1 | SuperDefenderX: you can use the command: which <command here>. e.g. which gedit | 12:23 |
| grawity | SuperDefenderX: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard is followed by most Linux and other Unix-like systems. | 12:23 |
| ActionParsnip1 | SuperDefenderX: but that isnt all the program is, it has libs and other stuff it needs to run, that file is just the thing to kick it all off | 12:24 |
| SuperDefenderX | ActionParsnip: So, let's say I'm using "blam", the "binary" is sitting in the "unix system resources/binary" directory? | 12:24 |
| ActionParsnip1 | SuperDefenderX: linux isnt like windows where apps live in theri own folder and everything is in there and very little all over the place, the apps use shared libs, more than one app may use a single lib, saves downloading the same stuff twice | 12:24 |
| ActionParsnip1 | SuperDefenderX: the binary you run will most likely be /usr/bin/blam but it will use other apps and other stuff to achieve its goal | 12:25 |

| grawity | toll_2323: It's same in all distros: a) disown; b) nohup; c) screen | 12:39 |
| Dr_Willis | Glowball: when i set the panels to autohide here. windows can overlap the panels | 12:39 |
| lepton | decora: there is no /boot/grub directory on the key drive | 12:39 |
| toll_2323 | ive never heard of disown before | 12:39 |

| grawity | toll_2323: when you run "something &" to launch it in background, you can run 'disown' to prevent bash from killing it. | 12:40 |
| grawity | toll_2323: Anyway, there's nohup too, if you like it. | 12:40 |
| Dr_Willis | screen is good in specific cases.. depending on what you want to do. | 12:40 |

| Dr_Willis | Linux-IRC: theres the 'xdg' tools to generate menu layout files for a variaty of window managers i recall | 12:42 |
| Dr_Willis | XFCE is not the same as LXDE :) different 'desktops' | 12:42 |
| Dr_Willis | lxde uses openbox + pcmanfm and a few other tools. for the complete desktop - its very very 'light' | 12:43 |
| Linux-IRC | Dr_Willis: I know this, i have to run command for xdg_menu --full............., i want to have auto-generated startup menu with window menu, don't want to create menu manually | 12:44 |
| jiga123123 | 'light' as in 'not enough to use', 'bad'? | 12:44 |
| * Linux-IRC will try with lxde | 12:44 | |
| Dr_Willis | Linux-IRC: make it run as part of your windoe manager startup scripts. what window manager are you using? | 12:44 |
| Linux-IRC | Dr_Willis: Like fluxbox | 12:45 |
| Dr_Willis | Linux-IRC: fluxbox can auto run stuff like that command if you wanted it to. | 12:45 |
| grawity | jiga123123: "light" as "uses less resources - good for people who dislike heavy things such as KDE" | 12:47 |
| epinky | Linux-IRC: fluxbox is an awesome alternative, and "awesome" is another :) | 12:47 |
| jetienne_ | Dr_Willis: is there a well known problem specific to shrinking win7 partition (while installing ubuntu). i about to do it, just making sure it is not known to fails :) | 12:47 |
| alankila | fluxbox is pretty old school. It reminds me mostly of fvwm2 and afterstep and their ilk. LXDE is actually a desktop. | 12:47 |
| Dr_Willis | jetienne_: i dont use windows 7. so no idea. i would say check the forums. I find the native windows tools MUCH MUCH MUCH faster at resizeing NTFS partitions then gparted does. like 5x as fast. So i resize mine from within windows | 12:47 |
| Linux-IRC | Dr_Willis: Are you talking , ~/.fluxbox/menu , to have this line xdg_menu --fullname --format fluxbox --root-menu /path/to/file.menu >~/.fluxbox/menu | 12:47 |
| Linux-IRC | ? | 12:48 |
| scottman451 | Hi. Any experts on Gnucash account lists in here? | 12:48 |
| luNix | amixer does not save my settings, and sound are back to muted after I log in | 12:48 |
| jetienne_ | Dr_Willis: ok thanks | 12:48 |
| Dr_Willis | Linux-IRC: proberly somthing similer to that. Ive not used fluxbox in ages. | 12:48 |
| scottman451 | The "real" gnucash channel is very quiet, so I thought I'd ask here. | 12:48 |
| Linux-IRC | Dr_Willis: Which do you use? | 12:48 |
| Dr_Willis | Linux-IRC: im just using normal ubuntu gnome for now. | 12:48 |
| toll_2323 | what is the meta key? | 12:48 |
| Dr_Willis | I dont see the need to rebuild my own 'desktop' | 12:48 |
| luNix | happend after I changed from Gnome to Openbox | 12:49 |
| Linux-IRC | alankila: Which do you use ? | 12:49 |
| Linux-IRC | Dr_Willis: lxde is not windows manager , it's not that much lightweight as fluxbox | 12:49 |
| Dr_Willis | fluxbox is slightly old skool. :) icewm and windowmaker and fvwm = old skool :) | 12:49 |
| alankila | LXDE, but only on one system that is too weak to run gnome. | 12:49 |
| luNix | am I invincible? | 12:50 |
| Dr_Willis | Linux-IRC: i never said lxde was a window manager.. that i recall. i said LXDE uses fluxbox (or openbox) _ extra tools.. for the whole desktop setup | 12:50 |
| alankila | I'm contemplating switching uniformly to LXDE, though. It starts up so fast and if it supplies me just the same features as I currently want from GNOME, then there's no value added by GNOME for me and I would like faster startup. | 12:50 |
| decora | mwm baby | 12:50 |
| === reactor__ is now known as reactor | ||
| Dr_Willis | I dont care for lxde much at all. or xfce either. | 12:50 |
| decora | lol does anyone remember fvwm95 | 12:50 |
| Dr_Willis | decora: yes. :) | 12:51 |
| * alankila probably ran fvwm95 among the other back-then window managers. | 12:51 | |
| epinky | luNix: sudo alsactl store | 12:51 |
| Rajasun | then there came fvwm-crystal | 12:51 |
| alankila | there was one window manager that was written in some variant of LISP that I almost liked... now what was it called ... | 12:51 |
| decora | those were the days, trying to run fvwm95 and starcraft in wine | 12:51 |
| luNix | epinky, guess I already tried that | 12:51 |
| Dr_Willis | 'window managers for X' ---> http://xwinman.org/ | 12:52 |
| alankila | I used it a a lot and it had a look called "microGUI", I think, it was pleasant to look at | 12:52 |
| === kipingor_ is now known as qwelegen | ||
| alankila | sawfish! | 12:52 |
| Dr_Willis | I recall when 'sawfish' was the default window manager for gnome.. then suddendly it got decided to use 'metacity' which no one had heard of.. and had like no features.. compared to the other wm's out | 12:52 |
| Yage | Maybe im a bit oldschool, but, using init.d you can debug a script using "bash -x" or whatever, with upstart you just receive a "failed" message... does anybody knows if i can debug a script in the same way? | 12:52 |
| luNix | epinky, I give it another change, bbl, hope it worked now :) | 12:53 |
| decora | Yage what is upstart | 12:54 |
| alankila | so gnome actually used sawfish... | 12:54 |
| Dr_Willis | !upstart | 12:54 |
| ubottu | Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ | 12:54 |
| Cale | alankila: a long time ago, yes. I remember that. | 12:54 |
| Dr_Willis | alankila: ages and ages ago. Like befor Ximian got into the act. | 12:54 |

| scatterp | hi how to stream VIDEO (preferably qt mp4) from a frame buffer console (i.e. not a pty or xterm)? | 12:54 |
| Linux-IRC | Dr_Willis: Installed icewm , but the application menu has no programs, it's almost blank | 12:54 |
| Dr_Willis | Linux-IRC: so use those xdg tools to generate the proper menu files for icewm i guess. | 12:55 |
| Dr_Willis | auto configuring app menus are a fairly 'new' thing in linux also. :) | 12:55 |
| CHESLYN | ActionParsnip1: im struggling what text | 12:55 |
| Linux-IRC | Dr_Willis: If i use xdg , applicaion menu will come with "mouse-right-click" , right ? | 12:55 |
| virtuald | dr_willis: debian have had their menus for many years | 12:56 |
| Dr_Willis | Linux-IRC: if i recall icewm had the start button, and on the right menu applications | 12:56 |
| Dr_Willis | virtuald: yes.. and i rember befor that time. :) | 12:56 |
| virtuald | (: | 12:56 |
| Dr_Willis | I remember when icewm was 'cutting edge' | 12:56 |
| Linux-IRC | Dr_Willis: If i use xdg, will all applications appear at start button? | 12:56 |
| Linux-IRC | Dr_Willis: I want all programs on startup button of icewm | 12:57 |
| Yage | i hate upstart | 12:57 |
| Dr_Willis | Linux-IRC: no idea. try it and see. | 12:57 |
| virtuald | dr_willis: that's nothing, I remember when evilwm was cutting edge! | 12:57 |
| CHESLYN | ActionParsnip1: it says Index of file://paste.com/ and after that 'name' with files | 12:57 |
| Dr_Willis | virtuald: i rember when xdm and twm was standard. :P | 12:57 |
| virtuald | :) | 12:57 |
| virtuald | i never used xdm | 12:57 |
| decora | scatterp: wow its been a long time... you need a vid player that can output to... uhm... either framebuffer or maybe SDL or even (old school) svgalib | 12:58 |

| Dr_Willis | virtuald: i recall it being the default for X like.. ages and ages ago. back when olvwm was high tech :) | 13:03 |
| ubottu | To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add « blacklist <modulename> » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » | 13:03 |
| ActionParsnip1 | there she goes | 13:03 |
| Linux-IRC | Dr_Willis: xdm = http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_display_manager_%28program_type%29 , is it ? | 13:03 |
| epinky | luNix: which is your current user? "sudo chown youruser:youruser /var/lib/alsa/asound.state" and retry | 13:03 |
| devtux87 | ubottu i know where is blacklist in an installed system! But what about live cd iso image? :P | 13:03 |
| luNix | epinky, but I found something... I got lxpanel, and from there I found "openbox session" in the meny, and clicked, and I hade sound again... so I'm kinda close to solve it, right? | 13:03 |
| ActionParsnip1 | epinky: you can use $USER in those if you like, easier | 13:03 |
| scatterp | decora am i making sense? | 13:03 |
| Dr_Willis | Linux-IRC: yes. xdm, gdm, kdm, then theres others | 13:03 |
| luNix | epinky, lxpanel takes Gnomes menu, I guess | 13:04 |
| devtux87 | i need to edit the livecd iso image? | 13:04 |
| decora | scatterp: you are trying to record what is being output to the framebuffer? | 13:04 |
| ActionParsnip1 | devtux87: i'd imagine its the same, ubottu is a bot so she won't respond | 13:04 |

| Jerkman | got a question here, i have 2 hard drives, 80 sata and 500gb sata. I have windows 7 x64 pro installed on the 80, and have just installed ubuntu 9.10 on hte 500. I want to dualboot. which bootloader should i keep? how do i go about this | 13:05 |
| pao_ | lol | 13:05 |
| ActionParsnip1 | paissad-hp: then what are you missing? what does sudo apt-get -f say you need? | 13:05 |
| scatterp | ok | 13:05 |
| decora | jerkman: use easybcd | 13:05 |
| scatterp | decora got a clearer suggestion how i could ask my question ? | 13:06 |
| Jerkman | easybcd.. windows app i presume | 13:06 |
| littlegreen | can someone please tell me the name of a Hamachi-equivalent for Ubuntu 9.10? | 13:06 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Jerkman: grub2 can boot both, the 80 will not have its bootloader changed, just point the BIOS at the 500 and grub2 will load | 13:06 |
| paissad-hp | ActionParsnip1, to install missing packages | 13:06 |
| paissad-hp | no ? | 13:06 |
| ActionParsnip1 | paissad-hp: yes, but which packages does it say you are missing | 13:06 |
| centerpoint | Excuse me ,I and my friend are not in a city , we get on the Internet all in school. Do not have public ip, Therefore | 13:06 |
| centerpoint | we can chat on qq, but have no way to login the other machine. (For instance , ssh ) we want to login each other 'machine. if have a solution? hope giving directions. | 13:06 |
| paissad-hp | ActionParsnip1, paissad@paissad-hp:/work/DEB$ dpkg -i mediainfo_0.7.25-1_amd64.Debian_5.deb | 13:07 |

| scatterp | ok | 13:07 |
| ActionParsnip1 | centerpoint: if you have no internet how do you propose you connect to each others systems? | 13:07 |
| paissad-hp | ActionParsnip1, dpkg -l | grep mediainfo | 13:07 |
| paissad-hp | iU mediainfo | 13:07 |
| Linux-IRC | Dr_Willis: twm,fluxbox,openbox,blackbox,all are same ,aren't those ? | 13:07 |
| ActionParsnip1 | CHESLYN: the output of: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade | 13:07 |
| phako | hi | 13:08 |
| alankila | Rprp`: I think not yet. The SSD trim is apparently not suitable to be issued for all devices as it can take long time to execute, and is not queueable. | 13:08 |
| decora | scatterp: what program are you running that you want to record? | 13:08 |
| Dr_Willis | Linux-IRC: those are 'window managers' in that respect they are the 'same' | 13:08 |
| luNix | epinky, how do I type that youruser:youruser, is it me as user? I typed lnx:lnx | 13:08 |
| phako | is there an migration howto from postgresql 8.3 to 8.4 when updating from jaunty to karmic? | 13:08 |
| ActionParsnip1 | paissad-hp: yes, but then you ran: sudo apt-get -f install and didnt get the dependancies you needed so its not installed yet. Once you get the debs you need the software will be installed | 13:08 |
| Linux-IRC | Dr_Willis: Dozons are here http://xwinman.org/ | 13:08 |
| Rprp` | alankila: aha oke, thnx. | 13:08 |
| === dstr_ is now known as dstr | ||
| alankila | so it means that buffers must be drained first, and then a trim issued, and it can take 100 ms or so to run, so it can only be issued rarely in practice. | 13:08 |
| ActionParsnip1 | paissad-hp: hence the Ui bit instead of ii in the dpkg output | 13:08 |
| Dr_Willis | Linux-IRC: i posted that URL earlier to the channel. | 13:08 |
| luNix | epinky, ...I log in as lnx | 13:09 |
| Jerkman | so easybcd, or grub 2? | 13:09 |
| ActionParsnip1 | paissad-hp: if the deps are not on your current repos you need to either download them or add another repo for the system to download it from | 13:09 |
| alankila | maybe if modern drives have faster TRIM commands, it'll be possible to use them. | 13:09 |
| epinky | luNix: yes, you can use "sudo chown $USER /var/lib/alsa/asound.state" as ActionParsnip1 recommended | 13:09 |
| Dr_Willis | Jerkman: its worth learning how to use Grub2 | 13:09 |
| ManDay | art.gnome.org or gnome-look.org - which is better for themes? | 13:09 |

| ManDay | (controls and design) | 13:10 |
| ActionParsnip1 | ManDay: neither is "better" | 13:10 |
| decora | jerkman: try easybcd first it is easier | 13:10 |
| Jerkman | ok, but i dont want to learn a new technology.. just get functionality | 13:10 |
| paissad-hp | ActionJacks_, indeed, when i do sudo apt-get -f install , .... the package mediainfo is deleted | 13:10 |

| decora | jerkman: although sometimes you wind up having to use both | 13:10 |
| luNix | epinky, good, but I got nothing back after entering that | 13:10 |
| Dr_Willis | Linux-IRC: the original 'xterm' takes command line options or settings file to set the font. | 13:11 |

| ManDay | its confusing | 13:11 |
| Jerkman | dling easybcd then | 13:11 |
| littlegreen | ActionParsnip1 thanks | 13:11 |
| ActionParsnip1 | ManDay: i guess its time for you to research then, it will benefit you | 13:11 |
| Linux-IRC | Dr_Willis: Can you tell the way to increase the size of xterm? | 13:12 |
| Dr_Willis | ManDay: you may want to install/use the 'gnome-art' and 'gnome-art-ng' tools | 13:12 |
| luNix | epinky, nothing show it, realy | 13:12 |
| ActionParsnip1 | ManDay: the windows decorator is the bar which says the applications name | 13:12 |
| Dr_Willis | Linux-IRC: use the -fn option | 13:12 |
| ManDay | you can be so very wise sometimes, ActionParsnip1 | 13:12 |
| epinky | luNix: I mean saving your configuration and checking after | 13:12 |
| Dr_Willis | Linux-IRC: xterm -sb -sl 2000 -bg black -fg white -fn 10x20 | 13:12 |
| ManDay | thanks willis | 13:12 |
| Dr_Willis | ManDay: gnome-art-ng (or was it gnome-artng) is not in the repos.. but its very usefull | 13:12 |
| luNix | epinky, was about to ask save from where", hehe, but from alsamixer , right? :) | 13:13 |
| epinky | luNix: yes and rebooting if you can | 13:13 |
| Dr_Willis | ManDay: the term 'theme' is a bit missleading comapred to how windows uses the term. a gnome 'thmeme' defines which 'parts' to use' parts are 'icon set' 'window border decorations' 'widgits decoration' and colors. I think i got them all right. | 13:13 |
| ManDay | ah! | 13:14 |
| Dr_Willis | ManDay: a theme file in gnome just defines which one of the parts to use. | 13:14 |
| Jerkman | ddo i point easybcd to drive 0, or do i specify the / partiton ,ie drive 0 partition 0 | 13:14 |
| Dr_Willis | ManDay: a theme file does NOT conatin the parts. | 13:14 |
| luNix | epinky, will do, brb | 13:14 |
| ManDay | thats unfortunate - i thought a theme was a standalone package | 13:14 |
| ManDay | willis, that explains a lot! thanks | 13:14 |
| Rajasun | there is also epidermis for your theming needs these days...check out https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas | 13:14 |
| Dr_Willis | ManDay: a theme file just says whata parts to use. You can use the customize button to pick what parts you want. | 13:14 |
| ManDay | knew that | 13:15 |
| decora | jerkman: you need to read the easybcd instructiosn they are on the web. | 13:15 |
| ManDay | ok, then i prolly dont want any theme | 13:15 |
| Dr_Willis | ManDay: epidermis is also handy. it can change stuff system wide. | 13:15 |
| === reactor_ is now known as reactor | ||
| Jerkman | decora: lol, true. probs should have done that anyway | 13:15 |
| ActionParsnip1 | ManDay: you can even get scripts which folks have made to set themes and such, gnomeP is a good example of this | 13:15 |
| Dr_Willis | ManDay: theres also several theme parts in the repositories - not installed by default.. Look for metacity, and gtk themes. | 13:15 |
| ManDay | nah im fine with choosing the "parts" (controls, decoration, colors) on my own | 13:16 |
| Dr_Willis | 'theme' is such a vague and broad term - its almost meaningless at times | 13:16 |
| ManDay | dont need a theme then | 13:16 |
| Dr_Willis | ManDay: select your parts and save the settings to a 'theme' and there ya go. you can revert back to your own theme if you want | 13:16 |
| ManDay | what are these things called again which all the stuff is based upon? last time i installed ubuntu i had a hard tiem finding out what they are and what of them i need. unfortunally i didnt make any notes so I stand at that point again. is gtk-engine the right word? | 13:17 |
| Linux-IRC | Dr_Willis: Is it possible to have tab in xterm and how to page up , page down, scroll ? | 13:17 |
| ebbpp | Hi! I have this question-somebody have any idea how to make a ubuntu in shell to redetect keyboard? The keyboard has stopped working in login screen? | 13:17 |
| Dr_Willis | ManDay: if you download some more theme parts from the gnome-look sites just drag.drop them to the 'appearance properties' window and it should install them | 13:17 |
| decora | ebbpp: unplug and replug ?? | 13:18 |
| Jerkman | WTF... upon choosing ubuntu in my new bcd, i get Starting Windows 95... tyoe the name of the command interpreter | 13:18 |
| decora | ebbpp: are you on 9.10? | 13:18 |
| Dr_Willis | Linux-IRC: the origianl xterm does not do tabs Use a different terminal program for such features | 13:18 |
| ActionParsnip | Jerkman: type: command.com | 13:18 |

| decora | ebbpp what kind of laptop? | 13:20 |
| Dupont | can anyone tell me which port does the VPN use so I can forward it from the router to my PC? | 13:20 |
| ebbpp | Sony Vaio with AMD XP+ I think 2000 | 13:20 |
| ActionParsnip | Dupont: 12975/TCP LogMeIn Hamachi (VPN tunnel software; also port 32976)—used to connect to Mediation Server (bibi.hamachi.cc); will attempt to use SSL (TCP port 443) if both 12975 & 32976 fail to connect | 13:21 |
| CHESLYN | ActionParsnip1: after pasted my name correct | 13:21 |
| ActionParsnip | Dupont: 1194/TCP,UDP OpenVPN | 13:21 |
| ActionParsnip | CHESLYN: yes, then click paste | 13:21 |

| paissad-hp | i would like to upgrade just one package (vuze) .. knowing that the version installed on my system is different from the version is see with aptitude show vuze | 13:21 |
| paissad-hp | thanks in advance for helping | 13:21 |
| ActionParsnip | paissad-hp: sudo apt-get --reinstall install vuze | 13:22 |
| paissad-hp | when i do aptitude safe-upgrade, that does nothing | 13:22 |
| ActionParsnip | paissad-hp: will only upgrade vuze from the repo for you | 13:22 |
| llutz | paissad-hp: aptitude reinstall vuze | 13:22 |
| Dupont | ActionParsnip thanks! If I have my router allowing VPNs will I still need to forward that port? | 13:22 |
| decora | ebbpp: does the kbd work in windows? | 13:22 |

| paissad-hp | ActionParsnip, ok thanks ... | 13:22 |

| ActionParsnip | CHESLYN: i really can't make it any clearer. | 13:23 |
| paissad-hp | but i thought that Ubuntu updated automatically the packages , or how can i do to make some packages to be upgraded and updated automatically ? | 13:23 |
| ebbpp | It works in grub menu and yeah it worked in windows before I insalled ubuntu on it | 13:23 |
| decora | shamun you are asking in a #ubuntu forum lol, dont you think we are a little biased here? | 13:24 |

| littlegreen | Rajasun do you think it will work on 9.10? I sort of ... need to guide a guy to set it up... | 13:38 |
| indus | jiga111222: it extracts a lot of files from the cd for installation | 13:38 |
| llutz | jiga111222: 700mb is highly compressed date which inflates to ~4GB later. use dpkg -l to see what is installed, aptitude to remove unwanted stuff | 13:38 |
| llutz | data* | 13:38 |
| RanyAlbeg1 | decora: i get the same file as before | 13:39 |

| ActionParsnip | erry: have you websearched the error? | 13:39 |
| decora | RanyAlbeg1: what is 'windows ultimate'? | 13:39 |
| boomernang | jiga111222, or you can download the minimal cd here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD and install only what you want | 13:39 |

| Dr_Willis | Linux-IRC: checkits settings.. yes its possible. its using gnome-terminal | 13:40 |
| llutz | jiga111222: if you care about used space, use minimal-install | 13:40 |
| erry | it will want to check when i reboot wont it | 13:40 |
| erry | nooooo | 13:40 |
| erry | noooooo | 13:40 |
| jiga111222 | boomernang, Thanks! i wish! although I'm not sure that I know all the things I want. How do I decide? | 13:40 |
| littlegreen | Rajasun is there an equivalent? Something that's compatible with both ubuntu and windows... | 13:40 |
| wildman | hello there, anyone knows if there's a way to directly mount a local Netware partition under Ubuntu? | 13:40 |
| Rajasun | littlegreen: not that I'm aware of but there's always www.google.com/linux :P | 13:41 |
| Linux-IRC | Dr_Willis: Where is that file to configure ? | 13:41 |
| llutz | jiga111222: if you don't kknow that, use default installation | 13:41 |
| luNix | epinky, I have to look this over better, and try to figure out why sound are muted... since it didn't help | 13:41 |
| wildman | by directly mount I mean mount it like one mounts NTFS partitions, not connecting to a Netware server, but to access contents of a Netware disk partition directly | 13:41 |
| RanyAlbeg1 | decora: http://codepad.org/rauDNxpx | 13:41 |
| jiga111222 | llutz, space is not that much of an issue, but I thought that there might be some stuff I as a user may not need ever. like printing since i don't have one today. | 13:41 |
| Dr_Willis | Linux-IRC: it has menu items to configure it.. or use the gnome-terminal program and the gnome-terminal settings/menus terminator uses embdeded gnome-terminals | 13:41 |
| plitter | decora: do i have to know what encoding it was? | 13:42 |
| ActionParsnip | wildman: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/dapper/man8/ncpmount.8.html | 13:42 |
| llutz | jiga111222: anyway, _you_ have to know what _you_ need/what not. | 13:42 |
| erry | um | 13:42 |
| erry | and | 13:42 |
| erry | i just changed a file | 13:42 |
| erry | but it doesnt seem to have changed | 13:42 |
| Linux-IRC | Dr_Willis: I don't want to use gnome-terminal | 13:43 |
| littlegreen | Rajasun yeah... I think I'll check it out | 13:43 |
| RRockon | G'day | 13:43 |
| wildman | ActionParsnip: thx, but that's exactly what I don't need, I cannot start the Netware fileserver, I just have its disk | 13:43 |
| arand | erry: yes, it will check on reboot, that's the idea. Why the "nooo"? | 13:43 |
| epinky | luNix: did you add "/sbin/alsactl restore" on "/etc/rc.local" before "exit 0" ? | 13:43 |
| jiga111222 | llutz, where would i get education needed for that? | 13:43 |
| boomernang | jiga111222, there are plenty of guides on google to help you with a minimal cd install. If you don't feel comfortable mucking around, just use the default cd. It will be easier to figure out what you don't need though - as in everything else in life. | 13:43 |
| Rajasun | littlegreen: sorry that I can't be of more help to you | 13:43 |
| Linux-IRC | Dr_Willis: terminator looks lighter | 13:43 |
| jiga111222 | since i am new to linux | 13:43 |
| Dr_Willis | Linux-IRC: You are confused.. Terminator IS using gnome-terminal | 13:43 |
| luNix | epinky, I've been thinking about add "amixer set PMC unmute" someplace... don't know how smart that is, well | 13:43 |
| llutz | jiga111222: i guess the only education is expreience. nobody can tell you | 13:43 |
| Linux-IRC | Dr_Willis: I want to make it transparent | 13:44 |
| ActionParsnip | wildman: you will need to know the servers name to connect to it | 13:44 |
| epinky | luNix: did you try "/sbin/alsactl restore" before doing that? | 13:44 |
| luNix | epinky, hmm, I followed that strickly as he hade typed it | 13:44 |
| jiga111222 | llutz, boomernang, Thanks! | 13:44 |
| Dr_Willis | Linux-IRC: then either set gnome-terminal tobe transparent, or explore the terminator menus. terminator terminal will use the gnome-terminal settings Play with the settings | 13:44 |
| epinky | luNix: on "/etc/rc.local" before "exit 0" ? | 13:44 |
| jiga111222 | what is the today's status of new Kde in kubuntu? | 13:44 |
| decora | plitter: yes you have to know what encoding it was. what kind of file is it? | 13:45 |
| ActionParsnip | wildman: or is the disk in a system yuo are booting ubuntu on and want access to the data? | 13:45 |
| GamerKnight | can anyone recoment any good tools for fixing analizing GPT boot sectors | 13:45 |
| wildman | ActionParsnip: I don't have the server, just its disk. Even if I put the server's NIC and disk on a different computer, I cannot start it, the NIC driver is not being loaded, so I cannot access the fileserver from the outside | 13:45 |
| ebbpp1 | Decora: In Xorg.log: "Cannot locate a core keyboard device" | 13:45 |
| littlegreen | Rajasun could you tell me... how do I establish a connection when I have already installed and configured OpenVPN on Ubuntu9.10? | 13:45 |
| GamerKnight | as a good hex editor to see the raw data | 13:45 |
| GamerKnight | also a good hex editor to see the raw data | 13:45 |

| luNix | epinky, added it now, guess I missed that, yes | 13:46 |

| Glowball | Dr_Willis: Ah, damn. That's quite stupid actually.. But meh, thanks :) | 13:52 |
| Dr_Willis | Glowball: its a litation of the window manager i think. In KDE they can change on the fly. In gnome not.. (i maybe wrong) | 13:52 |
| MaXubuntu | im new using ubuntu and i like it bigg time compared to the 250 bucks windows 7 ultimate | 13:52 |
| decora | plitter: i cant seem to get dcc workign with pidgin but maybe this will help http://www.linuxhowtos.org/Tips%20and%20Tricks/latexuf8.htm?ref=news.rdf | 13:53 |
| grawity | Dr_Willis: Mouse pointer theme? It isn't a WM thing, and it _is_ changeable on the fly. | 13:53 |
| arand | GamerKnight: like so: " cat /dev/random | xxd " (ctrl+c exits) | 13:53 |
| Dr_Willis | grawity: i recall kde and gnome being differnt. then again ive not used kde4 much. so i may be confused. ive even had it where different windows use different mouse pointers - I think the new windows started after the change used the newer ones. | 13:54 |
| Dr_Willis | grawity: of course once ya mixx kde and gnome intothe match.. well.... | 13:54 |
| Linux-IRC | Dr_Willis: Is it possible to have icons on fluxbox like http://www.inf.sgsp.edu.pl/pub/PROGRAMY/PLD/pulpit.png ? | 13:54 |

| erry | nvm | 13:55 |
| erry | reboot fixed it | 13:55 |
| indus | !wm | 13:55 |
| Dr_Willis | Linux-IRC: you need to use some tool to add icons to the desktop. | 13:55 |
| Linux-IRC | Dr_Willis: Which tool? | 13:55 |
| decora | plitter: basically i would google around for utf8 and pdflatex ... many people ahve the same problem | 13:55 |
| grawity | Dr_Willis: I used to use a mix of GNOME and Xfce... in fact, GNOME's cursor theme changer worked even without any WM running at all. | 13:55 |
| GamerKnight | MaXubuntu: good for you, i think you will be very happy. the day i ch anged to linux is the month all my computer problem seem to just go away and i started to like computers again. i do say month. it was a hard month but worth. things just make sense in linux even the errors. and there are more than enough helpfull people in here. i would not always recoment using the latest version of ubuntu though. the last release is usa | 13:55 |

| === jumbo is now known as newuser | ||
| GamerKnight | does anyone know why there are two words for 8bits "byte" and "octet" | 14:00 |
| decora | ActionParsnip: no its spelled 'check' here in america, the only place left that uses them | 14:00 |
| decora | GamerKnight: because there are some systems that use 7-bit bytes but 'octet' comes from latin base of oct | 14:01 |
| ActionParsnip | decora: in america, yes | 14:01 |
| decora | which means 8 everywhere | 14:01 |
| ActionParsnip | decora: not everyone is from america though | 14:01 |
| ActionParsnip | GamerKnight: 4 bits is also a "word" or a "nibble" | 14:01 |
| GamerKnight | decora: nice one | 14:01 |
| _CommandeR_ | Anyone has any issues with gnome-do ? | 14:02 |
| GamerKnight | ActionParsnip: I forgot about nibble | 14:02 |
| ActionParsnip | decora: unless its calendar month but we can blame julius and augustus for that | 14:02 |
| GamerKnight | decora: 10points if u can name a system | 14:03 |
| ActionParsnip | decora: october used to be the 8th month but ceaser wanted a month named after him (July) and augustis wanted one too (august) which threw the rythmn out, december used to be the 10th month | 14:03 |
| llutz | ActionParsnip: don't blame them, they give us at least some day of so-called summer | 14:03 |

| ActionParsnip | GamerKnight: stupid old romans with their egos | 14:04 |
| luNix | epinky, must be some conflict, I tryed login with Gnome/Openbox, instead of Openbox session, and was kicked back to login-screen, and then I tryed Openbox and sound was there... | 14:04 |
| jozefk | Jordan_U, you are here? | 14:04 |
| epinky | luNix: hmmm, Gnome worked before? | 14:05 |
| GamerKnight | ActionParsnip: Come on. if i was ceaser. i would have named the time after me, dam its gamer oclock best be going home | 14:05 |
| ActionParsnip | *box FTW :) | 14:05 |
| * jozefk installed ubuntu last night for the first time after so many linux years behind and yes ubuntu is great! :) | 14:05 | |
| Dr_Willis | luNix: i found the openbox/gnome entry to be faulty. Not sure why openbox thinks its so special it needs to add an openbox/gnome entry | 14:05 |
| decora | cj: thats pretty crazy... i would try reinstalling the package that lsb_release comes from | 14:06 |
| jozefk | hello Dr_Willis | 14:06 |
| jozefk | i see jordan isn't here | 14:06 |
| mattgyver | Everytime i click the conky window on my desktop in 9.10 it shuts down does anyone know how to fix this? | 14:06 |
| cj | decora: roger | 14:06 |
| ActionParsnip | jozefk: once you get used to the OS you could branch out to other distributions to compare, maybe you'll like them more, or less | 14:06 |
| cj | decora: that didn't do it | 14:06 |
| jozefk | yeah i need to get used to ubuntu and gnome | 14:06 |
| luNix | epinky, gnome session works and have sound, open box session works but mute sound, gnome/openbox session gave me sound, but kicked me back to login | 14:07 |
| jozefk | but so far it's great | 14:07 |
| ActionParsnip | jozefk: absolutely | 14:07 |
| cj | mattgyver: conky? what shuts down? | 14:07 |
| mattgyver | cj conky closes | 14:07 |
| mattgyver | cj, never had that problem in 9.04 or any previous version. Not quite sure why the heck its deciding do to it now | 14:08 |
| decora | cj: that is absolutely bizarre | 14:08 |
| decora | cj: http://tech.element77.com/2008/08/ubuntu-lsbrelease-nameerror-global-name.html | 14:09 |
| epinky | luNix: ok, then try this last thing "sudo chown root:root /var/lib/alsa/asound.state", maybe root permissions are mandatory for openbox | 14:09 |
| decora | cj: but in reality lsb_release shoudl have better error handling | 14:10 |
| jozefk | i'm just sad a bit i didn't start with ubuntu from the beginning | 14:10 |
| DASPRiD | what is the "mail" user usually used for on ubuntu server? | 14:10 |
| luNix | epinky, yeah, the last thing :) else I will start allover... maybe, or umute everytime :) | 14:10 |
| DjAngo23 | In a text file i have de names of the programs i want to install. How can i without copy/pasting every programe name, do apt-get install ? | 14:11 |
| * luNix log off again | 14:11 | |
| llutz | DjAngo23: sudo apt-get install $(<testfile.foo) | 14:11 |
| Dr_Willis | DjAngo23: dependin on the file layout you could copy it to a script and put 'sudo apt-get install' at the front of each one. or check the !clone factoid examples | 14:12 |
| Dr_Willis | !clone | DjAngo23 | 14:12 |
| ubottu | DjAngo23: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 14:12 |
| Dr_Willis | sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages | 14:12 |

| tigerrawrr | hi all i have a bit of an issue with my install of ubuntu 9.10 the latest version i made 2 mistakes that i want to make right if possible | 14:14 |
| decora | ogra! hows the planetarium? | 14:14 |
| tigerrawrr | 1. is that i installed ubuntu and now i have no access to my windows OS | 14:15 |
| tigerrawrr | and 2. from ubuntu i have no access to my files on my windows os i want to be able to do that as well | 14:15 |
| llutz | !ntfs-3g | tigerrawrr for 2. see | 14:16 |
| ubottu | tigerrawrr for 2. see: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions | 14:16 |
| decora | tigerrawrr: unmmm... do us a favor and run sudo fdisk -l | 14:16 |
| tigerrawrr | what will that do | 14:16 |
| decora | it tells you what partitions are on your disk | 14:16 |
| GamerKnight | anyone have any idea what this is "33 c0 8e d0 bc 00 7c fb", i found it on the first byte of my hard disk | 14:16 |
| tigerrawrr | i have 3 partitions | 14:17 |
| GamerKnight | its not GPT OR MBR werid. i wasnt expecting this at all | 14:17 |
| decora | tigerrawrr: do any of them say NTFS | 14:17 |
| tigerrawrr | one second | 14:17 |
| decora | tigerrawrr: or Windows or Win or ... | 14:17 |
| preecher | i know this is a elementary question but i dont know it so im asking-what is the difference in "sudo" and gksudo" | 14:17 |
| ikonia | GamerKnight: looks like it could be an identifier | 14:17 |
| wildman | ActionParsnip: I may have found a possible workaround, if this possible workaround doesn't work, I'll come back to you for help, thx! | 14:17 |

| GamerKnight | ikonia: why do u say that? | 14:18 |
| ActionParsnip | wildman: np man | 14:18 |

| ikonia | GamerKnight: jus looks like an identifying string | 14:18 |
| ActionParsnip | preecher: sudo doesnt set up the environment for X based apps and can cause ownership corruption | 14:19 |
| GamerKnight | dotblank: normaly though. you would see "45 46 49 20 50 41 52 54" for a gpt drive though right. it would never be somthing else? | 14:19 |

| ikonia | om26er: if you install the package "flashplugin-nonfree" a little magic will happen to allow it to work fine | 14:42 |
| TopKatz_ | if I run my java app from a terminal it works, if I run it froma script it tries to use the wrong jdk | 14:43 |
| om26er | ikonia, flash is not registering clicks.! | 14:43 |
| ActionParsnip | om26er: 32bit one runs via nspluginwrapper and will update with the packages, if you use the 64bit one you will need to manually upgrade but it doesnt need the wrapper | 14:43 |
| preecher | hey is they a place i can see all the linux commands for terminal?" | 14:43 |

| om26er | erUSUL, appens to me as well. dunno how to fix it tho | 14:47 |
| ikonia | om26er: flash is closed source and on some machines it just doens't work well, a good fix is to often close all the browsers and try again as one problem seems related to memory allocations | 14:47 |

| ratatim | Dr_Willis: I'm quite the newbie. Should i type any specific command that would allow my USB drive to work? Sorry if i sound redundant | 16:35 |
| ManDay_ | can anyone quickly tell me how large /boot is? | 16:35 |
| EMKO | epinky: is there a way to check what my wifi is using for the driver version? | 16:35 |
| haelwenn | 1GHZ CPU | 16:35 |
| Dr_Willis | ratatim: it should work automatically. | 16:35 |
| ratatim | Dr_Willis: typing /etc/fstab? | 16:36 |
| Dr_Willis | ratatim: No.. /etc/fstab defines mountpoints. | 16:36 |
| erUSUL | ManDay_: 31M /boot/ <<< in my install only two kernels installed | 16:36 |
| Dr_Willis | ratatim: if you have more then 1 flash drive try plugging in all of them . see if any get auto mounted | 16:36 |
| ManDay_ | thanks erUSUL | 16:36 |
| haelwenn | What is the speed of your CPU | 16:37 |
| haelwenn | ratatim | 16:37 |
| c3l | how do I make ecryptfs not mount the private folder automatically? | 16:37 |
| ratatim | Dr_Willis: I'll try that once I get home in a few hours. What if that doesn't work? | 16:37 |
| rb__ | is kaffeine in karmic not able to send a video stream? | 16:37 |
| ManDay_ | does it make sense to reserve 0% for su on all partitions but /boot (where i reserve 20% for su) ? | 16:37 |
| ratatim | haelwenn: Yes? | 16:37 |
| rb__ | in the previous version it was under the menu file >network stream > send broadcast | 16:38 |
| Dr_Willis | ratatim: No idea really. ive had issues with automopunting since beta.. still not sure whats crashing. they will automount for about 10 min.. then stop. If i logout/in then it goes back to automounting them | 16:38 |
| erUSUL | ManDay_: the reserverd space looks more important in the root parition | 16:38 |
| Dr_Willis | ratatim: you could alwyas plug them in and mount them byhand | 16:38 |
| ManDay_ | erUSUL, I wonder where exactly that reserved space should be!? | 16:38 |
| ManDay_ | in /var? | 16:38 |
| ActionParsnip | haelwenn: how much ram does the system have? | 16:39 |
| mahngiel | okay, i'm halfway there | 16:39 |
| erUSUL | ManDay_: by default is 5% in ext[234] fs other linux fs do not make any reservation | 16:39 |
| ratatim | Dr_Willis: I'm using a Sandisk Cruzer. I've heard removing the U3 software from the flash drive will help. | 16:39 |
| ManDay_ | erUSUL, huh? | 16:39 |
| ManDay_ | ah right | 16:39 |
| Dr_Willis | ratatim: the u3 stuff really screws things up the device shows up as a CD and a hard drive. I always repartition and get rid of the u3 stuff | 16:40 |
| mahngiel | i found out i was logged into xterm, i got into e16-gnome, but i think i'm missing some files - i can't swap windows. i installed metacity, but i don't get the option from the sessions tab at the log in screne | 16:40 |
| samuli-- | why is unrarring so slow on ubuntu (linux in general?) ? | 16:40 |
| ManDay_ | nvm. yeah just wondering what's the point of that reserved space. someone claimed that it can be some sort of fallback to enable SU to log in in extreme situations | 16:40 |
| ManDay_ | but i really dont get the point | 16:40 |
| ratatim | Dr_Willis: Well i'm using a Kingston flash drive until I find my Sandisk. Once I find my Sandisk I'll remove U3 from it. | 16:41 |
| ActionParsnip | ManDay_: i suggest you research what the ext3 journal is | 16:41 |
| ManDay_ | ActionParsnip, ? | 16:41 |
| ratatim | Dr_Willis: I'm a broke college kid. | 16:41 |
| genii | ManDay_: The manpage for tune2fs explains about the 5% reservation. Syslog space, etc | 16:41 |
| ManDay_ | thanks genii | 16:41 |
| geekbuntu | does anyone know how to open a port in ubuntu so i can log into a rdp session of virtualbox? | 16:41 |
| Dr_Willis | ratatim: 2gb flash drive less then the cost of a meal at McDonolds this time of year | 16:41 |
| mahngiel | which gnome pkgs do i need in order to have the window drawing and panels? | 16:42 |
| ManDay_ | genii, i have to ask for the moment, which of the following should get a 5% reservation: / , /usr, /var, /home or /boot ? | 16:42 |
| ActionParsnip | ManDay_: well you are asking about the journal (the reserved space) and whatits for, you'l find its very beneficial | 16:42 |
| ManDay_ | ActionParsnip, the 5% are for the journal? | 16:42 |
| ManDay_ | are you sure? | 16:42 |
| ratatim | Dr_Willis: You're right. I could probably round up some funds for a new flash drive. | 16:42 |
| ManDay_ | because it says "reserved for su" | 16:43 |
| ActionParsnip | geekbuntu: you will need to bridge the connection from host to guest. I'dd ask in #vbox | 16:43 |
| geekbuntu | ActionParsnip: ok - ty | 16:43 |
| Dr_Willis | ManDay_: 5% of ext3/2/4 is reserved for recocovery options. (lost+found) its tuneable with the tune2fs command | 16:43 |
| epinky | EMKO: version information for each MadWifi module is sent to the system log when the modules are loaded. You can check that log with "dmesg" and "lsmod", for example. | 16:43 |
| ShawnRisk | ulb: should I do the last line of part 3? | 16:43 |
| ManDay_ | ah ok | 16:43 |
| ManDay_ | thanks willis | 16:43 |
| ShawnRisk | ulb: mine is WEP | 16:43 |
| ActionParsnip | ManDay_: yes, on huge drives 5% can get quite large, 5% of 1Tb is a large chunk of data | 16:44 |
| EMKO | epinky: im using ath5k not madwifi since madwifi is not used anymore | 16:44 |
| ActionParsnip | ManDay_: it can be tweaked but 5% is standard | 16:44 |
| ratatim | Dr_Willis: Is that all I need? A 2gb flash? I plan on using that to boot Jaunty on my computer. Oh, another question. Will I lose my information moving from 8.04 to 8.10? | 16:44 |
| epinky | EMKO: ath5k well is was formerly known as madwifi, sorry if I sounded "old" | 16:45 |
| ShawnRisk | ulb: there? | 16:46 |
| genii | ManDay_: /var the most because thats where the logs go | 16:46 |
| ulb | ShawnRisk: disable wep and try it first | 16:46 |

| mahngiel | Dr_Willis: i uninstalled metacity, and i lost a lot of gnome pkgs | 16:56 |
| Dr_Willis | mahngiel: try 'metacity --replace' in a terminal? or install soime other window manager 'sudo apt-get install icewm' then run 'icewm' | 16:56 |
| ulb | mahngiel: you can't alt-tab? | 16:56 |

| mahngiel | ulb: what's that doing for me? | 16:58 |
| DexterLB | but with a regular user created with useradd I get only '$' | 16:58 |
| DexterLB | why is that? | 16:58 |
| DexterLB | (I'm using bash) | 16:58 |
| Dr_Willis | mahngiel: you could resize the terminal so you can see both. but if you are running enluightment - you shoudl be able to alt-tab. If you run the enlightment window manager | 16:59 |
| ulb | with screen you can have several things going at the same time..irssi is an irc client, and lynx,links2, and elinks are web browsers (if you haven't done this before, then never mind) | 16:59 |
| Dr_Willis | mahngiel: or try some other window manager like flvwm, or icewm, or jwm. as a temp fix. i would think reinstalling 'ubuntu-desktop' would reinstall all the needed gnome packages | 16:59 |
| mahngiel | Dr_Willis: i can't resize, i can't alt+tab, i don't have the _, [], or X buttons either | 16:59 |
| free_loader | DexterLB : I don't know why, but it's happened to me too, what I do is set bash as default | 16:59 |
| mahngiel | Dr_Willis: at this point, i'm just trying to get metacity and gnome back together and stable | 16:59 |
| ratatim | Should I back up my information if I'm upgrading from 8.04 to 8.10? Or will my information remain on my system? | 17:00 |

| joshritger | I have installed ndiswrapper and the driver for my linksys wpc100 wifi card in hardy 8.04, I can see my network, but can't connect to it, it times out when trying to get the IP adress. Any ideas what I can do to fix this? | 17:00 |
| mahngiel | Dr_Willis, and trying to do so without having to back up my crap | 17:00 |
| DexterLB | free_loader: how do I do that? | 17:00 |
| alokito | how can I chainload to grub legacy from grub 2? | 17:00 |
| c3l | how do I make ecryptfs not mount the private folder automatically? and how do I change my (login) passphrase? | 17:00 |
| Dr_Willis | mahngiel: then it sounds like you dont have any window manager going. I would install jwm, or twm, or icewm. for starters.. and run one of them. then you can alt-tab around.. installing ubuntu-desktop SHOULD restore the gnome packages | 17:00 |
| mahngiel | Dr_Willis: alright, brb | 17:01 |

| mahngiel | ulb: no. i had installed e16 and icewm. didn't see any change (because i didn't have the log-in screen enabled to switch sessions) so i uninstalled metacity. then i lost tons of gnome pkgs | 17:02 |
| deserteagle | ratatim, you should always back up, but you shouldn't have any data loss upgrading | 17:02 |

| erUSUL | Nalleman: grsync | 17:16 |
| joshritger | seidos: will try to manually set the ip | 17:16 |

| Nalleman | erUSUL, is change history saved? | 17:17 |
| jonaskoelker | jrib: because it's XML and XML hurts my brain and teeth | 17:17 |
| jonaskoelker | jrib: for one | 17:17 |
| jonaskoelker | jrib: for two, I keep forgetting about where to configure it | 17:17 |
| Renesa | hi | 17:17 |
| erUSUL | Nalleman: no but you can copy paste the output of rsync to a text file. also dunno if its cross platform | 17:17 |
| seidos | joshritger: i hope it works | 17:18 |
| seidos | good luck | 17:18 |
| Nalleman | ok, thanks. | 17:18 |

However, every day she has some sound problem, the sound quits working every day and have to do some fix, but what i dont understand is why i have to keep fixing it?? i have done at least 4 fixes with her and they work for a day or so, (mabye even a acouple hours) and then it breaks again. Does anyone know of this issue (ubuntu 9.10) why it keep messing up. | 17:18 |

| EZombie | but ubuntu dont recognice my network interface | 17:20 |
| aula13 | concentraos!! | 17:20 |
| jrib | jonaskoelker: save yourself the trouble and just use the .fdi file. Otherwise, you'll need to tell xorg not to use hal (see man xorg.conf) but then it won't be used for other devices as well. ubottu's link should be easy to read | 17:20 |
| erUSUL | deserteagle: you can install it from the repos though | 17:20 |
| joshritger | seidos: it wont let me manually assign the ip without a dns domain | 17:20 |

| mahngiel | ok, ubuntu-desktop installed, but still missing 'fast-user-switch-applet (>=2.22.0) but it's not installable' | 17:20 |
| EZombie | i made an "dmesg | grep net" | 17:20 |
| deserteagle | erUSUL, I use it regularly for WINE programs | 17:20 |
| samuli-- | what program can you use to view .sup subtitles.. or convert them to something else like .srt? | 17:20 |
| EZombie | and my net card is there | 17:20 |
| EZombie | but if i put sudo ifconfig eth0 up | 17:20 |
| jonaskoelker | Ras420: networked sound | 17:21 |
| EZombie | dont work | 17:21 |
| deserteagle | samuli: have you tried VLC? | 17:21 |
| seidos | joshritger: are you assigning the ip in network manager? | 17:21 |
| jonaskoelker | jrib: what's the lossage induced by not using hal for other devices? | 17:21 |
| Ras420 | jonaskoelker: she doesnt care about that, i just want her sound to work | 17:21 |
| joshritger | seidos: I am using wicd, I have had better luck with that in the past | 17:21 |
| Nalleman | Is there any free backup program with change history log ("time machine")? | 17:21 |
| aula14 | que hacemos después | 17:22 |
| jonaskoelker | Ras420: right, then uninstall pulseaudio | 17:22 |
| jrib | jonaskoelker: you have to set them up in xorg.conf | 17:22 |
| seidos | joshritger: i'm using wicd too. i've assign an ip for ethernet but not wireless | 17:22 |

| jonaskoelker | jrib: is "AutoAddDevices" the switch I need to flip? It's the only part of man xorg.conf that mentions HAL... | 17:22 |
| samuli-- | deserteagle, yes. No worky :/ | 17:22 |
| aula26 | Hay alguien ahíííííííí??? | 17:22 |

| deserteagle | thank you jrib :) | 17:26 |
| Parsi | erUSUL: i want use winrara, not others :( | 17:26 |
| jrib | jonaskoelker: then your option is probably no longer used. Use the .fdi file, that's what the documentation is for | 17:26 |
| jonaskoelker | jrib: meh :( | 17:26 |

Now i have sound, but only on the two front speakers. in windows all 6 speakers (5.1) worked without any problems... any idea what i could try? | 17:33 |
| ManDay_ | aeon-ltd, i tried that already, but once i install only the bare essentials and then try to get into aptitude (or whatever dpkg) my system totally freaks out | 17:33 |
| deus | Anybody got a Radeon R300 card (specificly radeon 9600) to work with TV-out support= | 17:33 |

| PolitikerNEU | hmm ... and how can I add new services in bum? | 17:41 |
| erUSUL | !software | JONDAVIS if you are new reading some docs is unvoidable | 17:41 |
| ubottu | JONDAVIS if you are new reading some docs is unvoidable: A general introduction to the ways software can be installed, removed and managed in Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoftwareManagement - See also !Packages, !Equivalents | 17:41 |
| JONDAVIS | my dvds are copy protected and will not play | 17:41 |
| tigerrawrr | right after i installed adobe flash | 17:42 |
| sebsebseb | amarendra: I have tried to get it working in Wine before, didn't work properly, I assume that will probably be the case now as well | 17:42 |
| jrib | JONDAVIS: they will if you listen to what people tell you | 17:42 |
| tigerrawrr | today | 17:42 |
| sebsebseb | amarendra: there's Pidgin and Empathy and Kopete for Jabber/Gmail/GoogleTalk anyway | 17:42 |
| JONDAVIS | then jrib you help me out | 17:42 |
| ShawnRisk | jrib: Right, it sometimes connects and sometimes it doesn't. As for when it connects there is no signal, even if I am right next to the router. | 17:42 |
| deserteagle | amarendra, empathy (the im client that comes with ubuntu) has google chat compatibility | 17:42 |
| jrib | JONDAVIS: I did already | 17:42 |
| sebsebseb | amarendra: if you really want it, with enough RAM and such, you could virtual machine Windows inside Ubuntu for it | 17:42 |
| jrib | ShawnRisk: what card? | 17:42 |
| genii | Rprp`: If the router is handing out IP numbers then something like: sudo dhclient eth0 (or eth1) will get the machine a number | 17:43 |
| ShawnRisk | jrib: at the moment I am connected | 17:43 |
| amarendra | does empathy supports file sending option | 17:43 |
| amarendra | in gtlka | 17:43 |
| tigerrawrr | do sny solution to this | 17:43 |
| ShawnRisk | jrib: Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN (rev 01) | 17:43 |
| sebsebseb | amarendra: don't know, but you could try for yourself | 17:43 |
| lch | hey, I have set up a LVM with the following volume groups: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/153843/ -- Now I want to move all the volumes from /dev/sdb3 to /dev/sda5, how do I do that? | 17:43 |
| deserteagle | amarendra, yes, it does | 17:43 |
| amarendra | ok | 17:44 |
| === TheBoggey is now known as PanBagget | ||
| Rprp` | genii: thnx, gonna give that a try | 17:44 |
| genii | Rprp`: The connectivity issue seems to be whatever the router/switch/whatever it's plugged into. Because: driver is loaded, interface(s) are active, interfaces are receiving and transmitting data | 17:44 |

| jrib | JONDAVIS: if you read the link ubottu gave you about DVDs you will be able to watch your commercial DVDs | 17:45 |
| deserteagle | isn't there a repository of kernel packages? | 17:45 |
| jrib | deserteagle: the main repository has the kernel packages | 17:46 |
| deserteagle | Nalleman, depends on how you set up the command, iirc | 17:46 |

| jrib | ubuntu_904: because /media/disk is not a block device... | 18:08 |
| genii | ubuntu_904: You need to format the /dev/devicename and not the mountpoint | 18:08 |
| jrib | ubuntu_904: you should unmount it too | 18:09 |

| ubuntu_904 | yes armornick i hope so :) keep ur fingers crossed !! ;) | 18:11 |
| sebsebseb | hmca: and when you got your ISO, if you got it from a torrent it's probably fine the download, if from HTTP/FTP you might want to do a md5sum/sha1sum both even, to make sure you got a good download | 18:11 |

| ubuntu_904 | cool i formatted.. sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/sdxx | 18:13 |
| sebsebseb | GodFazha: I suggest doing a clean install of 10.04 though, when that's out, assuming you got Ext3 on 9.04 which you will have by default, plus how you won't get Grub 2 on upgrade, and how sometimes some bad settings are left behind after an upgrade that then cause problems later on | 18:13 |
| deserteagle | jograd, wish I could help, but I have NO clue what you're talking about :( | 18:13 |

| deserteagle | jograd, i'm afraid I won't be of help, as I honestly don't have a clue as to anything you just mentioned, best of luck though! | 18:14 |

| * mahngiel crosses fingers | 18:17 | |
| sebsebseb | ratatim: 8.10 to 8.04 why? | 18:17 |
| deserteagle | ratatim, it isn't listed as a bug in 8.04? | 18:17 |
| ratatim | sebsebseb: at the time i could get more support. | 18:17 |
| Pandit | O_o | 18:17 |
| ratatim | deserteagle: yeah that's why i'm confused | 18:18 |
| sebsebseb | ratatim: more support with what? or do you just mean how 8.04 is supported for longer than 8.10? | 18:18 |
| ratatim | sebsebseb: i could find more information on the ubuntu forums for 8.04. | 18:18 |
| sebsebseb | ratatim: 8.10 is sadly on the verge of running out of support, it has been a rather good release for many people :) | 18:18 |

| Pericius | what could be the issue? | 18:18 |
| GodFazha | armornick, thanks mate :D it works now | 18:19 |
| deserteagle | ratatim, have you tried unmounting via superuser? | 18:19 |
| deserteagle | (sudo unmount...) | 18:19 |
| sebsebseb | ratatim: ok well that makes sense for two reasons, it was released before 8.10, and it's also a Long Term Support release | 18:19 |
| armornick | GodFazha: no problem ;) | 18:19 |
| Neremor | hello! | 18:19 |
| geitenneuker | määäh | 18:19 |
| sebsebseb | ratatim: by the way if you stay on 8.04 untill 10.04 comes out, you will be able to directly upgrade to it, however you won't get Ext4 or Grub 2 on upgrade | 18:19 |
| deserteagle | hey! | 18:19 |
| ratatim | sebsebseb: I'm going to upgrade to 8.10 and eventually on up to 9.10. I just don't have a CD Drive and have to use USB to upgrade. though my usb drives won't mount anything | 18:19 |
| Neremor | i'm using an onboard intel soundcard and try to setup my 5.1 system. I only hear sound on the front two speakers. any idea whats wrong? | 18:19 |
| sebsebseb | ratatim: 10.04 is the next LTS released at the end of April | 18:20 |
| sebsebseb | ratatim: no I woudn't recommend doing that | 18:20 |
| ratatim | deserteagle: sorry no i haven't. i don't know how | 18:20 |
| sebsebseb | ratatim: stay on 8.04 and upgrade directly to 10.04 when it's time, or clean install, that's a good idea | 18:20 |
| sebsebseb | ratatim: plus many people got issues after upgrading from 9.04 to 9.10 | 18:20 |
| deserteagle | clean install has been better than upgrades, in my experience | 18:20 |
| ratatim | sebsebseb: There is a problem... my usb ports wont mount anything so I'm stuck on 8.04 until i figure this out | 18:21 |
| aeon-ltd | deserteagle: +1 keep config files and separate /home | 18:21 |
| deserteagle | Neremor, have you checked the sound panel to make sure all speakers are enabled? | 18:21 |
| sebsebseb | ratatim: or untill 10.04 is out, and you can run the upgrade | 18:21 |
| Neremor | yes, all speakers are enabled | 18:21 |
| armornick | does anyone use a dell mini 10v? | 18:21 |
| deserteagle | aeon-ltd, yeh, i usually back up my home dir to save all config files | 18:21 |

| === MasterofPuppets is now known as MoPaway | ||
| ratatim | deserteagle: how is it I unmount from superuser or whatever you were saying? Is this a step in fixing my usb ports? | 18:22 |
| Neremor | the problem is that the rear speakers have to be connected to the mic-in jack and the center/lfe speakers have to be connected to the line-in jack... in windows this works, but in linux it doesn't | 18:22 |

| deserteagle | ratatim, i don't know if it will fix your ports, but sometimes it helps in unmounting devices that your user hasn't mounted | 18:22 |
| sebsebseb | ratatim: 8.04 has quite a lot of support left, and it's a good release | 18:22 |
| BeNdAbLe | I have a question about Karmic's upstart. For services with an /etc/init.d/ script, those scripts now have what looks like metadata (i.e. stuff between lines marked with '### BEGIN INIT INFO' and '### END INIT INFO'). Is this stuff just there for comments, or is this actually being parsed and used by upstart? | 18:22 |
| sebsebseb | ratatim: well loasd of us got pulseaudio issues for example, but other then that, it was fine for me :) | 18:23 |
| ratatim | deserteagle: how do I unmount? | 18:23 |

| ShawnRisk | cephalopoid: default | 18:54 |
| mcurran | ShawnRisk - Sometimes there is a keyring manager that I used to get confused with the network password prompt. I was wondering if that was what you were experiencing. Also, check to make sure you're not using 0's for O's and 8's for B's. | 18:54 |

| armornick | ShawnRisk: well, the keychain manager wants you to unlock it because you are using autologin | 18:56 |

| ShawnRisk | armornick: still same peoblems | 20:19 |
| ActionParsnip | xover: did you install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 20:19 |
| Aethelred | armornick: if it's not on fire, it's a software problem. | 20:19 |
| dassouki_ | ardchoille: i didn't put these packages on any list | 20:19 |
| Delano-240696195 | armornick, I've been using Linux back since Mandriva was known as Mandrake 9.2 | 20:19 |
| xover | yes mate | 20:19 |
| duffydack | Never seen that behaviour.. might be something the gnome devs might want to hear tho, if you feel like filing bugs :)) | 20:19 |
| armornick | I actually meant driver incompatibilities. y'know, hardware drivers ;) | 20:20 |
| ardchoille | dassouki_: autoremove tells the package manager to remove any software that is no longer needed by the system. | 20:20 |
| ActionParsnip | xover: and w32codecs (or w64codecs for 54bit ubuntu) | 20:20 |
| Delano-240696195 | I also gave Corel Linux a try (yes, that long ago) and Red Hat 7 | 20:20 |
| lyrae | hi all. i installed ubuntu on a laptop. during installation (liveCD in), i clicked on the proprietary icon and saw my nic listed. after installation however (after reboot), i click the icon and no drivers are listed, thus, no internet. why? | 20:20 |
| guntbert | karmicuser: we neither sell it nor do we make it - we merely give support to fellows needing help - so stop your "threatening" | 20:20 |
| Delano-240696195 | I tried Ubuntu in 2005 and thought it had the potential to be a truly desktop OS | 20:20 |
| armornick | lyrae: are you using broadcom wireless? | 20:20 |

| xover | actionparnsip, now what dude? | 20:22 |
| Delano-240696195 | Snausages, it's still not good enough as a desktop OS | 20:22 |

| Delano-240696195 | It's clunky, buggy | 20:22 |

| Mike_lifeguard | armornick: I'm not sure I follow why that's the case. As far as I know, the xorg folks are trying to get things such that you do not have to grant gdm superuser privileges because it is bad practice and actually a security issue :\ | 20:24 |

| TopKatz | got it sorted out, during my install I had an error about the screen saver failing. Anyways, reinstalled and every thing is good | 20:24 |
| armornick | Mike_lifeguard: yes, but the core apps need access to the entire system, which only the root user has | 20:24 |

NOTHING works... and this is the third time it's happened, on 3 seperate installations on 3 seperate systems, the only consistancy being gnome | 20:26 |
| guntbert | ActionParsnip: how would karmicuser do that? | 20:26 |
| virtuald | mike_lifeguard: I think it has to do with parts of the drivers being in userspace, and that with KMS we'll eventually run X as users. | 20:26 |

| Alan502 | iceroot, wait a minute.... | 20:48 |
| lyrae | broadcom...always a hassle | 20:48 |
| armornick | lyrae: especially with karmic | 20:48 |
| lyrae | remember it being a problem for my desktop about 1.5yrs ago | 20:48 |
| lyrae | ah | 20:48 |
| karmicuser | guntbert, i rebooted . may i give the exact line at which the system stops when run in recovery mode ??? | 20:48 |
| duffydack | Alan502, sdb is the drive, not a partition | 20:48 |
| duffydack | Alan502, make a partition first, then format it | 20:49 |
| armornick | it worked perfect in hardy to jaunty, until I got a kernel panic by installing the drivers using the official tools :D | 20:49 |
| Alan502 | duffydack, i choose to delete the partition and then format it, with gparted | 20:49 |
| xover | R3N3, what output am i looking for? | 20:49 |
| guntbert | karmicuser: that would be helpful - if it is more than 3 lines please use !pastebin | 20:49 |
| Alan502 | duffydack, let me copy the error in a pastebin for you | 20:49 |

| isolat3dsh33p | guys, is linux Mint and linux SUSE not free? | 20:50 |
| armornick | isolat3dsh33p: yes it is | 20:50 |
| Gaming4JC | hey all, I got a weird issue in 9.10. Perhaps an exploit. Wget is running as root and is downloading 10MBs or more as we speak. Any idea what it could be considering I'm not using wget? o_O | 20:50 |
| guntbert | duffydack: he will need sudo fdisk... | 20:50 |
| armornick | isolat3dsh33p: opensuse, not novell | 20:50 |
| Gaming4JC | lsof -i reveals this: wget 10364 root 4u IPv4 65016 0t0 TCP 12.183.1.55:38561->balsa.lunarbreeze.com:www (ESTABLISHE | 20:50 |

| karmicuser | guntbert, here is the last two lines : "Begin : waiting for root file system .... [2.775135] usb 1-7 configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice" | 20:51 |
| isolat3dsh33p | Pici, sorry | 20:51 |
| N3OInc | Does Ubuntu Enterprise use mutlicast for installation? | 20:51 |
| isolat3dsh33p | armornick, thanks :D | 20:51 |
| N3OInc | Might that be an issue for adamklu | 20:51 |
| armornick | isolat3dsh33p: no problem ;) | 20:52 |
| Gaming4JC | uhhh, wget is still downloading here | 20:52 |
| Gaming4JC | I guess I can kill the process, but it might be a rootkit? o_O | 20:53 |
| xover | I require mss2 codec, is there one? | 20:53 |
| armornick | Gaming4JC: what is it downloading? | 20:53 |
| Dreamglider | Runnung Ubuntu on a Dell with Intel Core2@2GHz, 2Gb DDR RAM@667MHz and it has been running great(i dont use any fancy stuff like beryl/Compiz) but now all of a sudden it's just "Crawling" along. and i dont know why! | 20:53 |
| Alan502 | duffydack, iceroot http://paste.ubuntu.com/331943/ | 20:53 |
| R3N3 | xover: Im checking in google | 20:53 |
| R3N3 | xover: It should work in mplayer | 20:54 |
| duffydack | Alan502, ahh... read only | 20:54 |
| R3N3 | xover: http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/codecs-status.html | 20:54 |
| Gaming4JC | armornick: I've honestly no idea. HTTP traffic according to wireshark. 10MB of it so far, and I'm not running it at all. It's on the root account, not mine. | 20:54 |
| xim_ | is there a good image program besides gimp, something simple like mspaint, to use as an alternative every now and then? | 20:54 |
| armornick | Gaming4JC: sudo kill it and see what happens | 20:54 |
| sebsebseb | xim_: of course | 20:54 |
| Gaming4JC | armornick: lsof -i helped me figure out what it was, also FireStarter firewall. | 20:54 |
| duffydack | Alan502, does it have a switch or something to enable write access? some flash drives do | 20:54 |
| dAlfa89_ | xim_, mtpaint might do you | 20:54 |
| Gaming4JC | armornick: kk will do | 20:54 |
| sebsebseb | xim_: Tuxpaint :) | 20:55 |
| adamklu | N3OInc: Looking up now | 20:55 |
| sebsebseb | xim_: and there are some others | 20:55 |
| sebsebseb | xim_: Your on 9.10? | 20:55 |
| Alan502 | duffydack, no it doesnt | 20:55 |
| guntbert | karmicuser: the last line seems harmless - but we would need the lines before that - another question: what did you do with your system before the problem surfaced? | 20:55 |
| adamklu | N3OInc: This is also happening on an ubuntu server 9.10 install x64 -- no enterprise cloud | 20:55 |
| Alan502 | actually, i can perfectly use it in windows, duffydack , i dont know whats wrong here | 20:55 |
| armornick | Gaming4JC: have you manually installed any debs or compiled any sources? | 20:55 |
| xim_ | sebsebseb, yes 910 | 20:56 |
| xim_ | im trying mtpaint tuxpaint and rtspaint | 20:56 |
| helluvaCSmajor | how do i bring down my wireless interface so i can switch modes? I used to use sudo ifdown wlan0 and it worked, but now it says interface wlan0 not configured | 20:56 |
| sebsebseb | xim_: ok so have you looked in the Software Centre for these programs? How about Synaptic? | 20:56 |
| dandalion | I have some questions and am needing some help is there someone that can help me | 20:56 |
| N3OInc | adamklu: Heard, sorry. Just trying to help. | 20:56 |
| Gaming4JC | armornick: hmm yes I have. Since I use dial-up I use a lot of third-party deb places such as get-deb.net etc. | 20:56 |
| guntbert | !ask | dandalion | 20:56 |
| ubottu | dandalion: 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. :-) | 20:56 |
| xim_ | sebsebseb, i wanted someone to suggest one they liked | 20:56 |
| adamklu | N3OInc: looking it up now, that may help | 20:56 |
| xover | R3M3: it says it cant find audio codec in mplayer | 20:56 |
| Gaming4JC | armornick: still trying to get the wget pid btw... | 20:56 |
| sebsebseb | xim_: If you want a basic Paint program, that is well a bit more than just that since it's for kids, and so fun, make sure to try Tuxpaint | 20:57 |
| armornick | Gaming4JC: just run 'sudo killall wget' | 20:57 |
| sebsebseb | xim_: Tuxpaint :) | 20:57 |
| sebsebseb | xim_: it has sounds as well, and some already used pictures | 20:57 |
| sebsebseb | xim_: I mean pictures that you can just use | 20:57 |
| xim_ | so its like kidpix for linux? | 20:57 |
| armornick | anyone know what happened to Paint.Mono? | 20:57 |
| mirak_ | hi | 20:58 |
| R3N3 | xover: I suspect the audiocodec is not supported by ffmpeg but not sure | 20:58 |
| armornick | hi | 20:58 |
| xover | R3M3: it says I need this wmsdmod | 20:58 |
| Gaming4JC | armornick: alreadly tried and it's not killed yet :P | 20:58 |
| R3N3 | xover: did you try vlc ? | 20:58 |
| sebsebseb | xim_: just try it :) and if you want something that is more like MS Paint there are quite a few programs | 20:58 |
| R3N3 | xover: because mplayer is based on ffmpeg | 20:58 |
| armornick | Gaming4JC: that's odd | 20:58 |
| karmicuser | guntbert, nothing special . two things i remember are : 1. deleted two users & 2. used cpu-freqscaling applet in the gnome panel | 20:58 |
| mirak_ | is there a msn client that allow chat and cam ? | 20:58 |
| duffydack | R3N3, I thought it was mencoder | 20:58 |
| Gaming4JC | armornick: I killed the pid and it's back under a new one... this is odd o_o | 20:58 |
| Snausages | Can anyone suggest a software package & method for doing a complete system backup to an external HDD? | 20:58 |
| sebsebseb | mirak_: AMSN | 20:58 |
| Alan502 | duffydack, any ideaS? | 20:58 |
| xim_ | sebsebseb, dAlfa89_ ok thanks | 20:58 |
| R3N3 | duffydack: ? | 20:59 |
| sebsebseb | xim_: mtpaint is good as well | 20:59 |
| xover | tried totem, vlc, mplayer | 20:59 |
| mirak_ | sebsebseb, ok I used it before, I forgot about it | 20:59 |
| xover | no joy | 20:59 |
| Gaming4JC | armornick: we can try locking it down at the firewall level. Just block port 80? lol | 20:59 |
| xim_ | sebsebseb, im getting them both | 20:59 |
| sebsebseb | xim_: plus there's uhmm | 20:59 |
| N3OInc | adamklu: I was just figuring that the routes to different networks may cause the issue, but I'm probably far out there. | 20:59 |
| sebsebseb | !info xpaint | 20:59 |
| helluvaCSmajor | why would my wireless interface not be configured if i am using it? | 20:59 |
| sebsebseb | xim_: there are two or so others that are like Paint, that are good | 20:59 |
| ubottu | xpaint (source: xpaint): simple paint program for X. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.7.8.1-1.2ubuntu1 (karmic), package size 386 kB, installed size 1340 kB | 21:00 |
| sebsebseb | xim_: as well | 21:00 |
| armornick | Gaming4JC: you installed third-party debs so I don't know whether or not it might actually be a rootkit | 21:00 |
| sebsebseb | xim_: xpaint being one of those | 21:00 |
| N3OInc | adamklu: And you were having issues without the cloud, so... | 21:00 |
| Gaming4JC | armornick: the IP is changing now to different websites wget is downloading. Somethings weird... | 21:00 |
| nytek_ | i love how all programs in linux are so small and lightweight | 21:00 |
| nytek_ | well most of them | 21:00 |
| sebsebseb | nytek_: yeah :) | 21:00 |
| xim_ | sebsebseb, i was just wondering because i couldnt figure out how to do simple things like draw squares in gimp, even tho i use it for more advanced stuff all the time. im sure i could have just asked about that, but i always perfer to have a couple applications to choose between | 21:00 |
| guntbert | karmicuser: no I was asking more about things like: add/remove a HD, remove LVM, .... | 21:00 |
| Gaming4JC | armornick: hmm.. well I've never had this problem before and I do look for trusted debs | 21:00 |
| armornick | Gaming4JC: I'd try reinstalling, but I'm just paranoid ;) | 21:00 |
| sebsebseb | xim_: kpaint as well I think | 21:00 |
| sebsebseb | !info kpaint | 21:01 |
| ubottu | Package kpaint does not exist in karmic | 21:01 |
| xim_ | lol ok | 21:01 |
| nytek_ | sebsebseb: 1340kb | 21:01 |
| bjorne_ | are that out someone updated howto for ubuntu 9.1 for openldap? | 21:01 |
| sebsebseb | xim_: just look in the software centre or Synaptic :) | 21:01 |
| nytek_ | sebsebseb: lol, like a big picture :D | 21:01 |
| sebsebseb | xim_: or both even | 21:01 |
| xim_ | sebsebseb, talk about floodgates | 21:01 |
| xim_ | hehe | 21:01 |
| faceface_ | hey guys, just making a usb stick | 21:01 |
| sebsebseb | xim_: what? | 21:01 |
| faceface_ | going to eeebuntu it up | 21:01 |
| karmicuser | guntbert, no apart from deleting two users , i didnt' do anything with the hardware or any other major changes | 21:01 |
| Gaming4JC | armornick: lol, not a bad idea but if this is an exploit I think I might take the time to track it down and benefit the community. It's not everyday I catch malware on linux like this. :D | 21:01 |
| nytek_ | faceface_: woot woot | 21:01 |
| xim_ | sebsebseb, youve told me like 6 of them | 21:01 |
| xim_ | lol | 21:01 |
| faceface_ | nytek_: yaeah | 21:02 |
| dandalion | I am very new to ubuntu I have made the cd an was installing it to my computer and wanted to partition my disc and got an error and was unable to do it. My question is if i complete the install will it work? | 21:02 |
| faceface_ | dandalion: insert glass of water | 21:02 |
| sebsebseb | xim_: oh ok, well Desktop Linux is all about choice, from the distro, to apps for whatever you want to do | 21:02 |
| armornick | Gaming4JC: alright, thanks in advance for helping the community :D | 21:02 |
| sebsebseb | xim_: there tends to be a few apps for the same task | 21:02 |
| nytek_ | dandalion: it wont go any further unless you partition or use the entire disk | 21:02 |
| sebsebseb | nytek_: like a big picture?/ | 21:02 |
| xim_ | sebsebseb, yeah i like that, thats why i figured id just get a couple extra for doing simple things | 21:02 |
| R3N3 | xover: sorry man, I would transcode the file in windows to ogg or mpeg or someting else | 21:03 |
| sebsebseb | xim_: ok | 21:03 |
| guntbert | karmicuser: sorry, today thats the end of my possibilities - gotta have some shut eye :) | 21:03 |
| karmicuser | guntbert, here are a few last lines from my /var/log/messages : http://pastebin.com/m593b551a | 21:03 |
| sebsebseb | xim_: well I would be interested to know what you think of Tuxpaint :) you can do that in pm, since off topic really | 21:03 |
| xover | good idea | 21:04 |
| dandalion | I was thinking of using the entire disc and letting my windows go bye bye.. i just wanted to make sure that it works and that i dont have too many bugs to work out. So, why does it ask me if i want to open up in windows or ubuntu when i turn on my computer now | 21:04 |
| xover | cheers anyway | 21:04 |
| R3N3 | xover: good luck | 21:04 |
| R3N3 | xover: see ya | 21:04 |
| nytek_ | sebsebseb: 1340 kb, what is that 1.2mb? a big picture file :D lol but its a program! | 21:04 |
| ShawnRisk | I am having so much trouble I am going to throw up | 21:04 |
| nytek_ | ShawnRisk: whats up? | 21:04 |
| Stupendoussteve | dandalion: So you can still use windows if you want to? | 21:04 |
| ShawnRisk | just my wireless is never going to work and I have tried everything | 21:04 |
| armornick | dandalion: if you took the default options, you are doing a dual boot | 21:04 |
| dandalion | yes thats what i am on now | 21:04 |
| xover | i think its 64bit ubuntu being a bstrd | 21:05 |
| nytek_ | dandalion: youll be fine with an entire disk install, it will force you to learn :D | 21:05 |
| duffydack | Alan502, no ideas yet........ | 21:05 |
| nytek_ | ShawnRisk: what card do you have? | 21:05 |
| karmicuser | guntbert, okey . thnx for helping nyway . i think i 've to switch back to win (not threatening okey ;) ) coz i've to do a project . thnx buddy | 21:05 |
| sebsebseb | nytek_: not sure what you mean, but uhmm a / for a distro can be like 10GB in size, and can have loads of apps installed in that. However Windows XP SP3 will take up about 5GB. and Vista takes up like 16GB | 21:05 |
| dandalion | i am oke with that nytek.. i just want to make sure that it will work | 21:05 |
| duffydack | xover, what video format is this? | 21:05 |
| Snausages | anyone? whole-system backup utility? | 21:05 |
| nytek_ | sebsebseb: yeah, my distro will never be that high. i barely have any gui apps | 21:05 |
| ShawnRisk | Broadcom BCM4311 | 21:05 |
| xover | duffyduck, wmv | 21:06 |
| duffydack | Snausages, clonezilla | 21:06 |
| guntbert | karmicuser: nothing strange I can see here - sorry that we missed it - good luck | 21:06 |
| mka | Snausages: Partimage | 21:06 |
| armornick | karmicuser: you could also try 32-bit | 21:06 |
| duffydack | xover, is it small enough to send ? | 21:06 |
| nytek_ | ShawnRisk: what distro are you running? ubuntu 9.10? | 21:06 |
| sebsebseb | nytek_: well even with loads of games and stuff, 10GB won't just be filled up | 21:06 |
| Nalleman | Can I sync evolution against my google calendar? | 21:06 |
| ShawnRisk | nytek_: yes | 21:06 |
| Stupendoussteve | dandalion: If you have plenty of disk space there is no need to get rid of Windows until you are positive you won't use it again. Set Ubuntu as the default with a short timeout and you can still learn | 21:06 |
| nytek_ | ShawnRisk: check restricted drivers? | 21:06 |
| nytek_ | sebsebseb: true true, the beauty of linux | 21:06 |
| armornick | sebsebseb, nytek_: unless you install 3D games ;) | 21:06 |
| nytek_ | sebsebseb: ! | 21:06 |
| ShawnRisk | nytek_: how? | 21:06 |
| xover | never say never with windows guys, lol. | 21:07 |
| nytek_ | armornick: no time for that | 21:07 |
| nytek_ | armornick: :( | 21:07 |
| dandalion | how do i set it as the default | 21:07 |
| nytek_ | ShawnRisk: system > restricted drivers | 21:07 |
| karmicuser | guntbert, one last question . could deleting two users 've caused this ? ny possibility ?? | 21:07 |
| duffydack | Alan502, tried deleting the partition from fdisk ? | 21:07 |
| nytek_ | xover: lol, indeed | 21:07 |
| armornick | ShawnRisk: whatever you do, don't install broadcom STA from the restricted drivers menu | 21:07 |
| nytek_ | armornick: why? | 21:07 |
| armornick | ShawnRisk: it gives kernel panic, install bcmwl-kernel-source manually | 21:07 |
| ShawnRisk | nytek_: hardware drivers? | 21:07 |
| armornick | ShawnRisk: yes | 21:08 |
| duffydack | xover, I`d like that file to see if it wont play. | 21:08 |
| === robb_ is now known as robbmunson | ||
| nytek_ | ShawnRisk: follow armornick's tip if you get a kernel panic lol | 21:08 |
| ctmjr | xover you can try to encode it to avi this is the basic encoding options mencoder file.wmv -ovc raw -oac mp3lame -o test.avi | 21:08 |
| xover | the moment you leave that command line! lol | 21:08 |
| ShawnRisk | armornick: I did and I am still having trouble | 21:08 |
| duffydack | xover, could just install ffmpeg and convert it as well. | 21:08 |
| Alan502 | yep, duffydack , but still i have not write access to the drive apparently | 21:08 |
| Snausages | duffydack: clonezilla does look like what I want. Reckon I can install that into my ubuntu installer stick? | 21:08 |
| xover | oh really! | 21:08 |
| guntbert | karmicuser: I cannot imagine how - so I'd say "no" - my guess would rather be a wrong line in the grub config pointing to the "root" device | 21:08 |
| xover | ok cool | 21:08 |
| Alan502 | duffydack, do you know how can i change a drive permissions ? | 21:09 |
| southwind | where can i learn how linux works | 21:09 |
| armornick | ShawnRisk: have you installed bcmwl-kernel-source? | 21:09 |
| armornick | southwind: ubuntuguide.org | 21:09 |
| nytek_ | southwind: google? | 21:09 |
| southwind | thanks | 21:09 |
| xover | what is the mmpeg encoder comman? | 21:09 |
| southwind | armonick | 21:09 |
| guntbert | !tldp | southwind | 21:09 |
| ShawnRisk | armornick: yes | 21:10 |
| sebsebseb | armornick: southwind that's unoffical and some of the ops don't like that link being given out in here, since they have some advice they don't like | 21:10 |
| sebsebseb | !new | southwind | 21:10 |
| ubottu | southwind: documentation is to be found at http://help.ubuntu.com and http://wiki.ubuntu.com - General linux documentation: http://www.tldp.org - http://rute.2038bug.com | 21:10 |
| karmicuser | guntbert, i dont find any menu.lst file in grub directory in karmic . what is the new configuration file name ? | 21:10 |
| sebsebseb | southwind: Ubuntu Pocket Guide :) | 21:10 |
| Alan502 | How can i change a drives permissions to read AND write? | 21:10 |
| armornick | sebsebseb: oh, didn't know that, actually | 21:10 |
| armornick | Alan502: right click and set permissions | 21:10 |
| sebsebseb | southwind: and if you want to well find out about Linux and such in general, this site is good | 21:10 |
| sebsebseb | southwind: I mean if you want to start reading articles | 21:10 |
| southwind | k | 21:10 |
| southwind | :) | 21:10 |
| Alan502 | where on dolphin? | 21:11 |
| mka | guys, I am still on Jaunty, is it safe if I upgrade my grub to grub2? any advantages if I manage to upgrade? | 21:11 |
| dsample | Hi. I'm hoping there's someone here that can help with a mess made by the Alternate install | 21:11 |
| sebsebseb | southwind: http://www.linuxtoday.com | 21:11 |
| Alan502 | armornick, on dolphin? | 21:11 |
| armornick | Alan502: oh, don't know, I only use nautilus | 21:11 |
| sebsebseb | mka: no not really | 21:11 |
| ShawnRisk | armornick: what else do I do? | 21:11 |
| === crohakon|afk is now known as crohakon | ||
| sebsebseb | mka: you won't really get any proper advantage if doing that, also things might go wrong on you | 21:11 |
| Alan502 | armornick, how can i make it from the command line= | 21:11 |
| coz_ | dsample, well tell us the "mess" someone who may be familiar with it can help | 21:11 |
| dsample | I installed it, but I was expecting it to ask me about the bootloader, but it didn't, and now it's overwritten a Pointsec encryption bootloader that is used on my main (windows) drive | 21:12 |
| armornick | Alan502: chmod, but I don't really know the syntax | 21:12 |
| Alan502 | armornick, does chmod work on devices? like /dev/sdb ? | 21:12 |
| armornick | ShawnRisk: did you do 'sudo modprobe wl' in a terminal? | 21:12 |
| coz_ | dsample, yeah I dont recall the alternate cd asking about bootloaders | 21:12 |
| sebsebseb | mka: also stay on 9.04 for now :) then I would suggest doing a clean install when 10.04 is out, that way you get Grub 2 by default, and Ext4 | 21:12 |
| xover | it failed lol, because it cant find the codec to read it | 21:12 |
| xover | LOL | 21:12 |
| guntbert | karmicuser: please look in /boot/grub/grub.cfg, right in the beginning is stated where the real config sits | 21:12 |
| coz_ | sebsebseb, absolutely | 21:12 |

| sebsebseb | mka: then doing a clean install of Ubuntu with 10.04 when that comes out, is a good idea as I suggested. by the way if you do that, you can also set up a nice seperate /home which can be useful | 21:13 |
| dsample | coz_: my first time running the alternate install... I saw a list of install steps after I had an error with networking, and I'm sure I saw 'grub bootloader', 'lilo bootloader', 'no bootloader' | 21:14 |
| Alan502 | duffydack, i have been struggling with it all the morning!!! i dont know what the hell is happening! linux is though :S | 21:14 |
| dsample | but I was obviously wrong | 21:14 |
| ShawnRisk | armornick: restarting for a bit, something is wrong | 21:14 |
| dsample | What I'm hoping is that someone might know if it can be reversed | 21:14 |
| mka | sebsebseb: I understand | 21:14 |
| Alan502 | in windows it would be just less than five clicks | 21:14 |
| coz_ | dsample, mm ok I rarely use the alternate cd anymore so my information may be old | 21:14 |
| sebsebseb | mka: easier to set up one when Ubuntu is being installed, than after woulds | 21:14 |
| duffydack | Alan502, did you make this partition yourself before? or did it come like this. | 21:14 |
| Alan502 | duffydack, the last time i partitioned it was to install gparted live, i did it with mksf | 21:15 |
| Alan502 | duffydack, that time it worked alright | 21:15 |
| Alan502 | duffydack, dont know what its happening now tho | 21:15 |

| userone | my usb modem worked flawlessly in 9.04, but since i have upgraded to 9.10 i have to use 'safely remove drive' before the usb modem works. why is this and do i need to fix it? | 21:16 |
| sebsebseb | mka: yes that's right upstream Grub no longer do the old Grub, but many distros still do, meaning you can still get proper support for it | 21:16 |
| duffydack | Alan502, try to format it in windows then....... | 21:16 |
| duffydack | Alan502, flash drives only have a finite number of write operations... you never know, just could be. | 21:17 |
| Alan502 | duffydack, well i think it is the only way out | 21:17 |
| Alan502 | duffydack, >.< damn linux | 21:17 |
| sebsebseb | mka: Mandriva 2010 uses the old Grub still :) I think quite a lot of other distros do as well with their latest version. | 21:17 |

| N3OInc | adamklu: Any luck? | 21:18 |
| sebsebseb | mka: it's fine to still be using 9.04, with the old Grub, since 9.04 is still supported by security updates | 21:18 |
| Alan502 | duffydack, that is what i assume, it is set to read only BY LINUX but in windows i can write into it | 21:18 |

| MatBoy | was the 5200 card not supported anymore in the latest drivers ? | 21:37 |
| pfred1 | MatBoy with the old one everytime I dragged a window I'd get these artifacts on my desktop looked like a meteor shower or something | 21:37 |

| Eftarjin | hi. how do i restart X from the command line in karmic ? /etc/init.d/gdm restart has been replaced and service gdm restart doesn’t help… | 21:41 |
| MatBoy | sebsebseb: back to 9.04 ? | 21:41 |
| Montebest | how? | 21:42 |
| Montebest | i dont understand | 21:42 |
| pfred1 | Eftarjin startx ? | 21:42 |
| sebsebseb | !tab | Montebest | 21:42 |
| ubottu | Montebest: 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. | 21:42 |
| MatBoy | sebsebseb: hehe | 21:42 |
| Eftarjin | pfred1: no, i want to kill a stuck X session | 21:42 |
| LasBuntu | how can I more files in nautilus as root? | 21:42 |
| MatBoy | sebsebseb: you have better experience with 9.04 ? | 21:42 |
| LasBuntu | ermove files | 21:42 |
| pfred1 | Eftarjin ctrl+alt+ backspace kills X sessions in X | 21:42 |
| sebsebseb | MatBoy: yes | 21:42 |
| iceroot | !gksudo | LasBuntu | 21:42 |
| userone | iceroot: yeah...he didnt realise that 75% (or more?) of servers in the world run apache, which is open source, and not windows base | 21:43 |
| ubottu | LasBuntu: 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) | 21:43 |
| koko_ | Any place one can read up on the guest session | 21:43 |
| MatBoy | sebsebseb: mhh, me too | 21:43 |
| Montebest | ok | 21:43 |
| LasBuntu | iceroot: thanks | 21:43 |
| sebsebseb | MatBoy: well I had like one little problem with 9.10, but other then that it worked fine | 21:43 |
| MatBoy | sebsebseb: I thought I was crazy | 21:43 |
| Eftarjin | pfred1: that was disabled in karmic… | 21:43 |
| coldboot | I've got Ubuntu 9.10 installed, and I'm using Nvidia TwinView. How do I drag a newly created "panel" to the other screen? | 21:43 |
| pfred1 | Eftarjin eeewww | 21:43 |
| sebsebseb | MatBoy: ,but I left it for another distro, since I didn't like the new features of 9.10 | 21:43 |

| MatBoy | sebsebseb: mhh I like 9.10 actually, but the upgrades every time | 21:43 |
| Montebest | MatBoy: on grub you can see that there are four Ubuntus | 21:43 |

| mMezquitale | jigal, are you at least using all your appz in ubuntu? LoL Either way that doesnt sound like an issue with ubuntu, I suggest you go to a programming language, maybe #perl | 21:45 |
| sebsebseb | MatBoy: something about upgrades, your not being clear | 21:45 |
| MatBoy | sebsebseb: can you verify if the FX5200 is not supported anymore in the latest nvidia drivers for linux ? | 21:45 |
| pfred1 | m0ar synaptic solves my deps for me | 21:46 |
| sebsebseb | MatBoy: no | 21:46 |
| MatBoy | sebsebseb: with upgrade, I needed to reinstall in the past because of something like this | 21:46 |

| boss_mc | sebsebseb: yeah, everything else went pretty well, the other issue I had (not updating grub to use new kernel) was basically my fault... | 21:55 |
| MatBoy | pfred1: maybe, first need to backup ;) | 21:55 |
| sebsebseb | boss_mc: well your not meant to get the new Grub on upgrade | 21:55 |

| flagpolesitta | I accidentally opened a mp4 file with real player and now I have to right click it and choose movieplayer if I want to open it that way (it automatically opened it that way before). If I try to open an mp4 from the Firefox Downloads list, it just tries to open it in realplayer as well. I selected movieplayer as the default in Preferred Applications. Realplayer doesnt seem to work for watching mp4s in any case. Can anyone help? | 22:18 |
| mattgyver | Hi, im trying to install ubuntu 9.10 server all works fine but it fails when trying to install grub2, any ideas? | 22:18 |
| sebsebseb | mattgyver: if your doing a proper server, the LTS is recommended | 22:18 |
| sebsebseb | !server | mattgyver | 22:19 |
| ubottu | mattgyver: Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server-specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications. Current !LTS version is 8.04.

| nemo | But, she is missing little ubuntu touches. Such as the ubuntu software store or ubuntu one | 22:21 |
| VCoolio | flagpolesitta: that's for everything the way to set a default app in gnome | 22:21 |
| nemo | is there some way to rerun the install to pick this stuff up? | 22:21 |
| nemo | s/here computer/her computer/ | 22:21 |
| boss_mc | nemo, has she tried installing ubuntu-desktop (the meta package that installs the basic programs)? | 22:21 |
| sebsebseb | nemo: if it's pretty much 9.10, those can probably just be installed from the repo | 22:21 |
| mementomori | after a kernel update the X server doesn't start correctly because of the nvidia driver. How can I reconfigure it? | 22:21 |

| nemo | heh | 22:24 |
| AmokPaule | sweet thanks | 22:24 |
| mementomori | ;) | 22:24 |
| coz_ | AmokPaule, it surely should be seen | 22:24 |
| sebsebseb | nemo: except for what you mentioned, some boot up and log in changes, and themes | 22:24 |
| nemo | AmokPaule: if you want them to automount you might have to change some settings - unless things have changed recently | 22:24 |
| nemo | AmokPaule: used to be automounting had to be explicitly configured, in 9.04 | 22:24 |
| mattgyver | sebsebseb, this is really just a home server not really much more so im okay with not using the LTS version, i didnt have a boot flag set on either of the partition im retrying to see if that was why, thanks tho | 22:24 |

| === N3O_idle is now known as N3OInc | ||

| nemo | yeah. best to wait I guess | 22:25 |
| sebsebseb | nemo: I did a test in fact, 9.10 with Ext3 and Ext4 | 22:25 |
| sebsebseb | nemo: and the old Grub is fine for now | 22:25 |
| sebsebseb | nemo: If you clean install 10.04 though, then you get them sure, and if that install isnt' a proper 9.10 for whatever reason/s could just use that for now and clean install 10.04? | 22:26 |

| samuli-- | piperfan, you can make one and the xserver will read it | 22:35 |
| piperfan | tried dkpg-reconfigure xserver-xorg but it doesn't do anything | 22:35 |
| sebsebseb | piperfan: as far as I know there isn't really any Desktop Linux support from SIS | 22:35 |
| duffydack | Ive never had so much trouble installing ubuntu and getting it to work than with an sis chipset. | 22:35 |
| samuli-- | piperfan, Xorg-configure is similar now | 22:36 |
| sebsebseb | piperfan: and it would be rather difficult for the Desktop Linux developers to reverse enginer something | 22:36 |

| Samuli^ | piperfan, xorg.conf isn't needed anymore because the autodetection is so good, but the xserver still reads the xorg.conf if you have one | 22:38 |
| sebsebseb | dusty1: you could also try Firefox with a Flash alternative | 22:38 |

| Panic661 | ShawnRisk: are you on a BCM card? | 22:56 |
| nikolaj | hey | 22:57 |
| nikolaj | does anyone know where the temporary internet files are in ubuntu? | 22:57 |
| sebsebseb | nikolaj: hi | 22:57 |
| sebsebseb | nikolaj: there aren't any :) well there are kind of | 22:57 |
| nikolaj | i just watched a divx film and wanted to locate the file for that film | 22:58 |
| sebsebseb | nikolaj: oh there's /tmp | 22:58 |
| LjL | nikolaj: it may or may not be in some directory inside your home depending on the browser or program you used. | 22:58 |
| sebsebseb | nikolaj: also your Firefox profile with your user settings is in home in the hidden .mozilla folder | 22:58 |
| ShawnRisk | Panic661: yes | 22:58 |
| nikolaj | not in the .mozilla folder | 22:58 |
| nikolaj | although there are some temp files there | 22:58 |
| ShawnRisk | on my other laptop | 22:58 |
| sebsebseb | nikolaj: yes it won't be in there | 22:59 |
| nikolaj | am in /tmp at the moment | 22:59 |
| nikolaj | looking more like it, can't believe i didn't look earlier | 22:59 |
| === NCommander is now known as Guest64268 | ||
| nikolaj | not in there though | 23:00 |
| ctmjr | nikolaj: they do not store the file in a tmp folder anymore or on your computer for that matter to easy to just copy the file and have a copy of the movie you can thank hulu and apple for that | 23:00 |
| sebsebseb | nikolaj: look at Firefox history and go on it again? | 23:00 |
| sebsebseb | nikolaj: it was on a web page? | 23:00 |
| nikolaj | i can find the temporary vid files for some other videos in that folder | 23:00 |
| nikolaj | so it obviously is still downloaded as a temporary form | 23:01 |
| nikolaj | just not to there | 23:01 |
| nikolaj | do you want the link? | 23:01 |
| sebsebseb | ctmjr: thank them for that why what? | 23:01 |
| blackbriar | can someone suggest which java package i should install? | 23:01 |
| ymee | hi guys. can some tell me how to command line access a windows share? I am connected to the windows share from the "places" menu. How do I access the contents via the command line? | 23:01 |

| halouf | hello | 23:02 |
| SeanTater | I'm using the USB Startup Disk Creator (cool app BTW), but it's copying at only 60KB/s. This can't be right, can it? | 23:02 |
| sebsebseb | nikolaj: that would depend on what kind of video it is, etc etc | 23:02 |
| ymee | anyone? | 23:02 |
| nikolaj | ok it's nothing bad if that's what you mean | 23:03 |
| halouf | bluetooth isn't working on my laptop (hp 6830s) any way to fix this? | 23:03 |
| ymee | where does ubuntu mount (if it does) the directories when I connect to a windows share via the Places menu? | 23:03 |
| sebsebseb | nikolaj: and if it's something pirated your not meant to link to it in here etc | 23:03 |
| nikolaj | alright well it still remains that i need to try and locate this file | 23:04 |
| SeanTater | ymee: I guess you must have already checked, but I would try in /media. If not, run "mount" in a terminal and it should give you a list, one of which should be your share | 23:04 |
| sebsebseb | nikolaj: Flash videos can be saved and maybe your type as well, I think that's what ctmjr was trying to point out | 23:04 |

| Justcop | am using ubuntu NBR on an ases eeepc, had been working great but suddenly is only booting to CLI, if i type startx it loads up fine but the mouse doesn't work, help me? | 23:05 |

| seidos | er /tmp | 23:05 |
| nikolaj | because i need to show some of this in a lecture | 23:05 |
| Snausages | Justcop: I've had my trackpad wig out before... I plugged in a regular mouse, and it worked, and when I unplugged it the trackpad worked again. | 23:05 |
| nikolaj | it's an .avi | 23:06 |
| ctmjr | sebsebseb: use to be you watch a tv show on the internet it stored a copy in a tmp file to speed up buffering then you just copied the file to another dir and renamed it you then had a copy of the show but hulu and apple do not store acopy on your computer and most every other site followed | 23:06 |
| lalo | Hi, Is there any way to change ubuntu 9.10 karmic boot splash animation? | 23:06 |
| sebsebseb | ctmjr: oh right well copyright etc | 23:06 |
| madcheeze | hey all quick question, in 9.10 64 bit, how do i know what theme i have installed? is it gdm1 or gdm2? i dont think i am using compiz. its a straight up fresh install of 9.10 | 23:06 |
| sebsebseb | lalo: don't think so | 23:07 |
| sebsebseb | lalo: it can be removed though | 23:07 |

| mikebeecham | guys...any idea why I cant get build-dep command to work? | 23:08 |
| mikebeecham | are there 'normal' reasons for this? | 23:08 |

| halouf | bluetooth isn't working on my laptop (hp 6830s) any way to fix this? | 23:08 |
| Confuzius | madcheeze, gdm2 | 23:08 |
| madcheeze | Confuzius, thanks! | 23:08 |
| madcheeze | has anyone had any luck with cairo dock in 9.10? | 23:08 |
| Fizix | halouf, have you tried searching for proprietary drivers? | 23:08 |
| halouf | no, I've read that it should work out of the box but it's not the case | 23:09 |
| nikolaj | anyone :D | 23:10 |
| LjL | !usplash | lalo | 23:10 |
| ubottu | lalo: To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork | 23:10 |
| Fizix | halouf, go to: System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers | It will scan your box for hardware that would require proprietary, non-open source drivers. | 23:10 |
| genii | LjL: grub2 doesn't play nice with usplash, etc | 23:10 |
| Fizix | then you can download, install and activate those drivers right from there | 23:10 |
| sebsebseb | LjL: ah yes usplash | 23:10 |
| LjL | mikebeecham: it doesn't work, like what? | 23:10 |
| sebsebseb | genii: no? | 23:11 |
| LjL | genii: uh, Karmic doesn't use usplash? | 23:11 |
| nikolaj | i am replaying the video that i want to watch offline, and it's not even having to buffer this time so it is somewhere on my hard drive but i have no idea where? | 23:11 |
| sebsebseb | LjL: Karmic uses Xsplash for it's boot up (I am not genii, but I answered anyway) | 23:11 |
| sebsebseb | LjL: and uspalsh can be used instead or whatever | 23:11 |
| halouf | Fizix, the only hardware detected is my ati card | 23:12 |
| LjL | sebsebseb: i have a kubuntu karmic, the splash screen doesn't looked like it was running inside X11 if that's what xsplash is... | 23:12 |
| sebsebseb | genii: Grub 2 does not like usplash? | 23:12 |
| mikebeecham | LjL - I am trying to build the banshee from git, and am trying to use the Build-dep command, but I am being told that it cannot find the source package...I am assuming because build-dep is not working for some reason? | 23:12 |
| Fizix | halouf, do you have any hotkey on your keyboard to vary off/on the bluetooth antennae? | 23:12 |
| magmarules | Guys anyone knows how i can launch the compiz-config manager through command line? its not opening i would like to know what the error is | 23:13 |
| sebsebseb | LjL: Xplash is for example the white Ubuntu logo in the centre of the screen on boot up | 23:13 |
| pyrak | my system is using just under 2gb memory with only ffx, evince, pidgin, and xchat open | 23:13 |
| genii | sebsebseb: I'm trying now to find where I found this originally.... but to my knowledge, they don't work well together | 23:13 |
| Fizix | magentar, compiz-config-manager doesn't work? | 23:13 |
| maco | magmarules: ccsm | 23:13 |
| halouf | Fizix, yeah but it's turned on | 23:13 |
| LjL | sebsebseb: well, before that i get usplash. i guess that might be a kubuntu thing though. | 23:13 |
| pyrak | from a little poking with htop and stuff, it sort of looks like every process is using a few times more mem than it ought to be | 23:13 |
| synapsys | Compiz-config-settings-manager: ccsm | 23:13 |
| Fizix | halouf, does the bluetooth logo appear at the top right with other processes? | 23:14 |
| pyrak | does this sound familiar at all? | 23:14 |
| LjL | mikebeecham: do you have src repositories enabled in sources.list? | 23:14 |
| madcheeze | pyrak, fresh install? | 23:14 |
| Flare183 | pyrak: Yeah, it does. | 23:14 |
| === MoPaway is now known as MasterofPuppets | ||
| pyrak | madcheeze, yeah, i guess that's my solution... i'm just avoiding it | 23:14 |
| sebsebseb | LjL: could be, and when I put KDM into 9.10, I didn't get the second thing, the like sand theme with Ubuntu text, after the thing in the centre | 23:14 |
| pyrak | oh, if you were asking if this _is_ a fresh install, it's not. recently upgraded to karmic | 23:14 |
| pyrak | but haven't reformatted ~1 year | 23:15 |
| madcheeze | pyrak, no, im asking, is it a fresh install? if so, double check the md5 and make sure your install media is good. after that, kill processes until you isolate the problem one... | 23:15 |
| halouf | Fizix, the appelet is there but "send files to device" and "browse files on device" are both grayed out | 23:15 |
| Subby | hi, how to delete recursively all .svn-folders ? | 23:15 |
| magmarules | unn maco ty =( seems to be locale problems. I accidentally installed the system with portuguese locale and now even though i changed it to English it still tries to use PT. | 23:15 |
| madcheeze | pyrak, kill each service or app until you get your memory back | 23:15 |
| Subby | from a given folder | 23:15 |
| pyrak | madcheeze, oh dear. okay. do i risk permanent damage if i kill something essential? | 23:16 |
| Flare183 | pyrak: Or do what I've been doing, add more swap if you don't have any. | 23:16 |
| Fizix | halouf, it could be the device you're interfacing with blocking it and not Ubuntu. With my previous phone, I could browse the entire drive, with my new phone, I have to setup a specific folder to accept bluetooth sent items before it even allows it. | 23:16 |
| maco | magmarules: when you login at gdm, it should let you choose the language to login with if you click the options thing | 23:16 |
| sebsebseb | magmarules: Sounds a bit like my Mandriva 2010, I told it to use English for the install, and tried to change after woulds, but yet it wants Amerian English. I want it to use British English :) | 23:16 |
| madcheeze | pyrak, i dont think so, start with what you know... | 23:16 |
| pyrak | Flare183, i have a gig of swap, and it's not full | 23:16 |
| Fizix | halouf, have you tried whatever bluetooth device you're trying to interface with on anoter operating system before, as a frame of reference? | 23:16 |
| Flare183 | pyrak: 5GB of swap here' | 23:16 |
| pyrak | Flare183, i'm actually not hitting the ceiling of my ram yet, but i have 4gb | 23:17 |
| Flare183 | pyrak: That's only because I use my desktop for both a server and a regular computer.. | 23:17 |
| Fizix | I has 9TB of swap, and 256KB of actual RAM. amidoinitryte? | 23:17 |
| halouf | Fizix, had no problem previously on vista/xp | 23:17 |
| pyrak | and it's a laptop and running really hot | 23:17 |
| pyrak | and really loud | 23:17 |
| pyrak | and i think that having less activity going on with the ram would help | 23:17 |
| Fizix | halouf, have you ran an update on Ubuntu? | 23:17 |
| Subby | how to delete recursively all ".svn" folders ? | 23:17 |
| Mike_lifeguard | Fizix: are you sure you meant 9TB? | 23:18 |
| madcheeze | pyrak, thats way more than enough ram to not really use the swap at all. | 23:18 |

| sebsebseb | sisif: Which version of Ubuntu? | 23:31 |
| jacquesdupontd | ctmjr, i'll do it more simple, im not a newbie and it makes 5 years i'm on linux so i know what is sudo but if you knew a bit nvidia cards you would understand that you can't save settings by doing a sudo launch | 23:32 |
| sisif | sebsebseb : 9.10 | 23:32 |
| sebsebseb | sisif: so an upgrade from 9.04? | 23:32 |
| Fizix | sisif, if you partitioned the drive correctly with /home being in it's own partition, there's not much to fear in a re-install. | 23:32 |

How would I get it back? Queuing songs is a useful feature... | 23:32 |
| sisif | sebsebseb : No. I was a clean install. It worked just fine one hour ago. | 23:32 |

| jacquesdupontd | so any idée here why i have this parse error first ? | 23:32 |
| sebsebseb | sisif: what Fizix put | 23:33 |
| jacquesdupontd | shouldn't be like that when i try a save on my xorg.conf | 23:33 |

| SineDeviance | hey all | 23:34 |
| SineDeviance | question for you... ext3 or ext4? | 23:34 |
| jacquesdupontd | ctmjr, but i thank you for trying to help me but be sure that first when i ask a question i've searched on google a long time before and it's because my problem is not that easy to solve | 23:34 |
| sebsebseb | SineDeviance: hi | 23:34 |
| dtownhero | ctmjr, but you already knew that... was just giving you the E-pat on the back. | 23:34 |
| sebsebseb | SineDeviance: that depends | 23:34 |
| Fizix | sisif, are you running on an older machine? | 23:34 |
| Hillshum | jacquesdupontd, Vlc isn't able to handle it. Might it be that I need w32codecs? | 23:34 |
| sisif | sebsebseb : yes. I now, it`s weird. | 23:34 |
| SineDeviance | sebsebseb, on what? | 23:34 |
| sebsebseb | SineDeviance: Ext3 or Ext4 for what? | 23:34 |
| jacquesdupontd | i've got an idea i'm gonna make separated screen | 23:34 |
| jay | exit | 23:34 |
| sisif | Fizix : not really. It`s a decent notebook. | 23:34 |
| mdg | ShawnRisk: hello | 23:34 |
| SineDeviance | sebsebseb, speed | 23:34 |
| jacquesdupontd | Hillshum, try i think it should work yes with greffons | 23:35 |
| sebsebseb | SineDeviance: I didn't mean that | 23:35 |
| sebsebseb | SineDeviance: ,but Ext4 is the faster one in 9.04 anyway with / done in it, but it's also a bit dodgy there, because of the kernel they have and such | 23:35 |
| nik0z | Give instant Google Wave invites for Dropbox Refferal SignUp: http://j.mp/4A4ZD6 U don't need to send me mail, I will see it after sign up! | 23:35 |
| sebsebseb | SineDeviance: when I tested 9.10 with Ext3 first and then Ext4, it didn't really matter | 23:35 |
| mdg | ShawnRisk: still working on your wireless setup? | 23:35 |
| sisif | sebsebseb , Fizix : hint. Last time I used it I try to put it in hybernate mode. I think something got stucked. | 23:35 |
| SineDeviance | sebsebseb, so i should use ext3 for / and /home? | 23:35 |
| jacquesdupontd | Hillshum, on any player actually i'm on kubuntu that by the way rox compared to what it was befire | 23:35 |
| Fizix | SineDeviance, I run ext4 without a problem, but I've heard people having on occasion issues. I say ext4 but if it's an older machine and you're worried about how many years or months you have left on the harddrive, I'd go with a non-journaling ext2 as it hits the drive less prolonging the drive's life. | 23:35 |
| sebsebseb | SineDeviance: Ext4 is the default for 9.10 | 23:35 |
| Hillshum | greffons? | 23:36 |
| ctmjr | jacquesdupontd: you can stop highlighting me and i really no longer care if you get it fixed | 23:36 |
| rlzy1r | Howdy, quick question. I'm running Karmic and sometimes, maybe 3 or 4 times a week, I get a blank black screen during boot. If I press anykeys I get to a terminal with builtin commands. Anyone come across this | 23:36 |
| SineDeviance | sebsebseb, yeah i know, but crunchbang is based on 9.04 | 23:36 |
| Hillshum | And how do I make sure vlc finds w32codecs? | 23:36 |
| jacquesdupontd | ctmjr, ok sorry man | 23:36 |
| maco | i tend to go with ext3 /home and ext4 / when i setup other people's systems | 23:36 |
| sebsebseb | SineDeviance: someone got some currupted data files issue or something with 9.10, the one that's mentioned in the release notes | 23:36 |
| ctmjr | dtownhero: thank you | 23:36 |
| maco | ive lost data to ext4 before | 23:36 |
| maco | 3 times | 23:36 |
| sebsebseb | SineDeviance: when doing Ext4 | 23:36 |
| sebsebseb | maco: oh you as well hmm | 23:36 |
| SineDeviance | okay, i think i'll go with ext3 then | 23:36 |
| SineDeviance | thanks! | 23:36 |
| sebsebseb | SineDeviance: hang on | 23:36 |
| Fizix | sisif, oh those pesky hibernation modes! Sisif, what filesystem are you using on your machine? | 23:36 |
| sebsebseb | SineDeviance: you could go with XFS instead, that has the Ext4 advantages | 23:37 |
| sisif | Fizix : ext4 | 23:37 |
| sebsebseb | SineDeviance: and been around much longer | 23:37 |
| jacquesdupontd | i know i'm a bad guy and i should stop caring about losing time with people giving you answers of newbie | 23:37 |
| maco | sebsebseb: i still use ext4 for my system. ive just started actually keeping backups now | 23:37 |
| sebsebseb | SineDeviance: just not that many Ubuntu users use it | 23:37 |
| SineDeviance | sebsebseb, also ext4 isn't readable in windows with the ext fs driver, is it? | 23:37 |
| maco | SineDeviance: not htat im aware | 23:37 |
| Fizix | Sisif, some people have a problem with EXt4, try going to ext3. It does journaling too but doesn't have some of the fancier support for solid-state harddrives | 23:37 |
| sebsebseb | SineDeviance: I think there is the driver, but it won't work well at all | 23:37 |
| SineDeviance | okay... yeah i guess i'll go with ext3 for compatibility then... | 23:37 |
| SineDeviance | thanks everyone | 23:37 |
| Fizix | NP | 23:38 |
| boxxy_ | do you think there's a script in Ubuntu that sets /proc/sys/net/ipv6/bindv6only to 0 once it boots? As it always goes back to 0, even if I set 1, after a reboot......... :/ | 23:38 |
| ratatim | When I click on Unetbootin it won't load. What should I do? | 23:38 |
| sebsebseb | SineDeviance: go with Ext4 since it's the default for 9.10, or go with what maco says which is I don't know yet, but she tends to know her stuff | 23:38 |
| sisif | Fizix : I don`t need support for SSD. | 23:38 |
| SineDeviance | sebsebseb, im not installing 9.10. i am install crunchbang which is based on 9.04 | 23:38 |
| sebsebseb | SineDeviance: oh | 23:38 |
| SineDeviance | yeah | 23:38 |
| sisif | Fizix : is there any way to delete the hibernation file(s) so I can just boot it nornaly ? | 23:38 |
| mdg | SineDeviance: I have CB on a old laptop | 23:38 |
| Fizix | sisif, then I'd say switch to ext3 in the interim if your only problem is in hibernation | 23:38 |
| dtownhero | jacquesdupontd, thing is, you're wrong and to stubborn to take advice. I'm sure you can figure it out on your own with the 5 years of linux logged... | 23:38 |
| sebsebseb | SineDeviance: well in that case wrong channel really, and maybe Ext3 | 23:38 |
| maco | sebsebseb: the setup i mentioned means that while / might go, your /home should be ok. so your data is safer, but your boot is fastr, and if / breaks...meh, reinstalling is easier than getting back lost user dat | 23:39 |
| maco | *data | 23:39 |
| Fizix | Sisif, I'm sure there is, but I'm not knowledgeable enough for that one. | 23:39 |
| SineDeviance | sebsebseb, well yeah, i know it's the wrong channel technically but they use the same kernel and such as 9.04 default so i figured it would still apply. anyways, thanks :D | 23:39 |
| sisif | Fizix : the irony, this was the 1st time i tried hibernation. I usually go for Suspend. | 23:39 |
| sebsebseb | maco: well / can be done in Ext4 and /home can be done in Ext3, I never had issues with Ext4 myself though | 23:39 |
| sebsebseb | SineDeviance: ok well | 23:39 |
| maco | sebsebseb: yeah thats how i did my brother' and mom's computers | 23:40 |
| ratatim | Can someone tell me how to run Unetbootin? I downloaded it to my desktop and when I click on it nothing is happening | 23:40 |
| sebsebseb | SineDeviance: back up your stuff and Ext4 in Crunchang/9.04 sure why not | 23:40 |
| burkmat_ | ratatim, try running `chmod +x filename` on it | 23:40 |
| MarkGil | Hi, is it possible to use ulimit to restrict memory usage of rogue programs from the init scripts? rsyslog is wasting lots of memory, and on a embedded sheevaplug, it's not great | 23:40 |
| sebsebseb | SineDeviance: then you get speed improvements, but there is a slight chance of data loss or something | 23:40 |
| Fizix | sisif, since the both filesystems (ext3 and 4) are journaling filesystems, you can hibernate for either/or. You may have better luck with 3 | 23:40 |
| jacquesdupontd | dtownhero, you're right that's what i'm diong | 23:40 |
| ratatim | burkmat_: thanks i'll see if that helps | 23:40 |
| sebsebseb | SineDeviance: or have Ext3, and slower boot up, and don't have to think about data loss at all | 23:41 |
| MarkGil | It's sorted hinted here, but does not really tell me know to do it. http://wiki.rsyslog.com/index.php/Reducing_memory_usage | 23:41 |
| magmarules | unn all this effor and still ... anyone knows how to diactivate the Whobby effect when "scaling" windows to change app/window ? | 23:41 |
| losha | SineDeviance: ext4 isn't readable in windows, or lots of 3rd party things like super grub disk, older live cds, other linux distros etc. | 23:41 |
| sebsebseb | SineDeviance: also I woudn't recommend sharing your Linux partitions with Windows, after all a Windows virus could then delete stuff from those as well | 23:41 |
| === crunchbang_ is now known as SineDeviance | ||
| === alex_ is now known as RetianFes | ||
| ratatim | burkmat_: when I run that command it says "no such file or directory" | 23:41 |
| SineDeviance | okay, yeah i'l go with ext3 then | 23:42 |
| sebsebseb | SineDeviance: oh you were on here with two names? | 23:42 |
| SineDeviance | i need them to be readable in windows with the ext fs driver | 23:42 |
| Fizix | SineDeviance, that sounds like the safest bet to me | 23:42 |
| SineDeviance | sebsebseb, no i got disconnected | 23:42 |
| jacquesdupontd | dtownhero, i think i'm better at helping cause i can't stop getting anoyed of the time i loose explaining all to people that wants absolutely to answer you even if they don't know anything about what you're asking | 23:42 |
| sebsebseb | SineDeviance: why? | 23:42 |
| sisif | Any one here hasanyh idea on how I may delete a failed hibrnation image from my swap using a LiveCD? | 23:42 |
| burkmat_ | ratatim, well... replace "filename" with the actual filename? | 23:42 |
| dusty1 | hey its me again i have yet another real stupid question can i change my icon that is part of my application menu to something else? | 23:42 |
| RetianFes | Is it possible to pin Konversation to the mail icon on the tab bar when it's not running like Empathy does? | 23:42 |
| sebsebseb | maybe you missed this then | 23:42 |
| sebsebseb | SineDeviance: also I woudn't recommend sharing your Linux partitions with Windows, after all a Windows virus could then delete stuff from those as well | 23:42 |
| ratatim | burkmat_: that's what I did. | 23:42 |
| SineDeviance | sebsebseb, right, but i mount them in ro | 23:43 |
| SineDeviance | so there's no danger | 23:43 |
| sebsebseb | SineDeviance: in what? | 23:43 |
| SineDeviance | linux is my main OS | 23:43 |
| Fizix | SineDeviance, sebebseb brings up a good point. | 23:43 |
| SineDeviance | sebsebseb, in windows. the fs driver gives you the option to mount partitions read-only | 23:43 |
| SineDeviance | which i do | 23:43 |
| burkmat_ | ratatim, ...are you sure the file is in the directory you're in? | 23:43 |
| dtownhero | that was one angry retarded frenchman... | 23:43 |
| losha | sisif: can't you just reformat the swap partition using gparted? | 23:43 |
| sebsebseb | SineDeviance: oh I see, well as far as I know that driver does not work well with Ext4 | 23:43 |
| sisif | losha : I don`t know. That`s why I`m asking :P | 23:44 |
| SineDeviance | sebsebseb, yeah, on the internets it says it only supports ext3 | 23:44 |
| dusty1 | hey its me again i have yet another real stupid question can i change my icon that is part of my application menu to something else? | 23:44 |
| sebsebseb | SineDeviance: you coudl do / in Ext4 | 23:44 |
| sebsebseb | SineDeviance: a seperate data partition :) to share with Windows and not read only if you like | 23:44 |
| losha | sisif: then let me rephrase: try reformatting the swap partition using gparted.... | 23:44 |
| SineDeviance | sebsebseb, it also says that the kernel that comes with 9.04 has ext4 issues | 23:44 |
| ratatim | burkmat_: i don't know... how do I find out? haha sorry i'm not too knowledgeable to command | 23:44 |
| sebsebseb | SineDeviance: or /home and read only when it comes to Windows | 23:44 |
| ctmjr | dtownhero: yes it was classic example of not seeing the forest because the trees are in his way | 23:44 |
| sisif | losha : haha. Nicely said :) | 23:44 |
| jcp | how do i redirect both stdout and stderr to a file? | 23:44 |
| sebsebseb | SineDeviance: / Ext4 home or data partition Ext3 | 23:44 |
| burkmat_ | ratatim, ah... well, where is the Unetbootin file located? | 23:44 |
| jcp | without overwriting the file | 23:44 |
| goose | is there a way I can control my fan speed on my ubuntu server box? (preferably one that does not involve ramming a screwdriver into the fan to stop the blades from spinning entirely :p) | 23:45 |
| Fizix | If you want to go super-geek, you can have another linux OS running inside of Windows via a virtual machine... that should be able to see your other partition, no? | 23:45 |
| dtownhero | heh | 23:45 |
| jcp | i want to write to the end of the file, not overwrite the file | 23:45 |
| gandhi | 1> file 2> file | 23:45 |
| sebsebseb | SineDeviance: yes and that's what I put, the kernel apparnatlly has issues | 23:45 |
| jcp | script &>> file ? | 23:45 |
| sebsebseb | SineDeviance: ,but if your data partitions are in Ext3 that should be fine for sure | 23:45 |
| ratatim | burkmat_: well it's on my desktop. It should be in the desktop directory or what-not | 23:45 |
| maco | Fizix: no | 23:45 |
| SineDeviance | sebsebseb, i already have a 1tb external drive in ntfs so i guess that could be a shared partition. but sometimes it's just easier to copy directly than to copy twice :D | 23:45 |
| maco | Fizix: a vm cant see what the host cant see | 23:45 |
| burkmat_ | ratatim, Alright. Try running `chmod +x Desktop/filename` then. | 23:45 |
| sebsebseb | SineDeviance: I did Ext4 for / and /home and no issues, but others have had | 23:45 |
| VCoolio | jcp: >> adds, > overwrites | 23:45 |
| ratatim | burkmat_: ok i'll see what that does | 23:45 |
| Fizix | maco, ahh ok, I always wondered that. Thank you for that info | 23:46 |
| sisif | losha : guess what. The swap partion is locked under gparted :P | 23:46 |
| jcp | VCoolio: but i want it to write both stderr and stdout, will that work? | 23:46 |
| SineDeviance | well, it's installing | 23:46 |
| sebsebseb | SineDeviance: in fat the only issue when it came to Ext4 was when Vista deleted my seperate /home partition twice, well I installed it twice | 23:46 |
| sebsebseb | SineDeviance: second time I coudn't recover all data that I had put on it, or whatever, but oh well, nothing important | 23:46 |
| sebsebseb | SineDeviance: on the new /home I had created I mean | 23:46 |
| jrib | jcp: why not just try what you said? :) (it works on zsh, probably the same on bash) | 23:46 |

| Fizix | tehloki_, M$ whipes my stuff out too. The safest way to do a dual-boot is always to have Windows installed first, then put Ubuntu on top of that. | 23:54 |
| Altreus[Hireme] | oh the proprietary fglrx driver does not support my card | 23:55 |
| tehloki_ | wait, should i be reinstalling grub on the ext4 partition or the swap partition | 23:55 |
| Altreus[Hireme] | nor apparently does the open-source one :P | 23:55 |
| ratatim | Unetbootin can't seem to find the .iso image on my desktop. even when I choose the desktop directory. what should i do? | 23:55 |
| madcheeze | wow all, the updates screwed my system up bad... | 23:56 |
| madcheeze | complete crash | 23:56 |
| madcheeze | wouldnt launch x at all | 23:56 |
| ratatim | madcheeze: hey could you tell me why Unetbootin wont find my iso image? | 23:56 |
| madcheeze | ratatim, where is your image located? | 23:56 |
| ratatim | madcheeze: on the desktop. should be in the desktop directory but when i use unetbootin it doesnt show. | 23:57 |
| madcheeze | i think i interrupted the update | 23:57 |
| madcheeze | ratatim, did you choose the iso option in the middle? | 23:57 |
| ratatim | madcheeze: yes i did | 23:58 |
| madcheeze | ratatim, then click the three dots to the right, and navigate to your desktop | 23:58 |
| madcheeze | ratatim, it should show your iso image | 23:58 |
| madcheeze | ratatim, is it an iso or an .img file? | 23:58 |
| ratatim | madcheeze: that's what i've been trying but its not there. It goes to root then to desktop then nothing is there. it's an .iso file | 23:58 |
| sebsebseb | maco: Going back to earlier briefly. / in Ext4 and /home in Ext3, I thought about that when I found out that Ext4 is dodgy in 9.04 since the kernel and that. However I guess Ext4 is good enough now, or 9.10 woudn't be using it as the default file system? | 23:59 |
| madcheeze | ratatim, thats weird. | 23:59 |
| madcheeze | ratatim, windows? | 23:59 |
| ratatim | madcheeze: yeah tell me about it. I run 8.04. I'm trying to upgrade to 8.10 using a usb drive | 23:59 |
