| crontab101 | ubuntuuser what webcam do you have because it didnt recognize mine either until i found some drivers | 17:01 |
| RockShox | oh dmesg reports ssh segfaulting too | 17:01 |
| jensm1 | anyone who have expiriance with fujitsu simens netbook amilo mini ? | 17:02 |
| ^workman^ | RockShox: hmm, could be memory... | 17:02 |
| mr-john | do u know a software which allow me the access control to computers from an AP, i need to generate a ticket which let the client connects to my AP for an hour, im looking for in google but all is for windows and shareware... anybody knows a simple way to do this | 17:02 |
| jensm1 | I have a usb stick who will boot from windows, but I want to install on my netbook but there doesnt it load at all | 17:03 |
| apparle | I currently have to add an option line to alsa-base.conf in order to get sound... it that a bug... should I report it | 17:03 |
| ^workman^ | mr-john: something like radius (if supported by your AP) can handle that. But, I'm not an expert on it... | 17:04 |

| alesan | hi what is the package that delivers the full kernel sources (not headers only)? | 17:05 |
| ^workman^ | alesan: kernel.org =) not sure what ubuntu's is. I like to compile the latest stable | 17:06 |
| crontab101 | somebody read this for ubuntuuser http://ambospeak.blogspot.com/2008/12/getting-msi-wind-webcam-to-work-under.html' | 17:06 |
| alesan | I mean the kernel sources for the current kernel it is installed in ubuntu. there is a package with headers but not one with the full sources, as far as I can see in the list | 17:07 |
| mr-john | ^workman^> thanks im going to look for | 17:07 |
| crontab101 | oh that might not work uuser | 17:07 |
| ^workman^ | mr-john: good luck! | 17:07 |
| UbuntuUser | crontab101, addresses not found. the camera use to work fine though | 17:07 |

| ubottu | ^workman^, please see my private message | 17:08 |
| crontab101 | u said msi wind u100 right and ubuntu 9.10? | 17:08 |
| UbuntuUser | crontab101, yes | 17:08 |
| flan_suse | How does the pkill command know which process to kill if there are multiple instances? For example, what if two users both have an instance of vlc running and you do "pkill vlc" as root? | 17:09 |
| crontab101 | yeah i wouldnt even try that link then i will search some more | 17:09 |
| flan_suse | crontab101, I am using Ubuntu 9.10 on an MSI Wind u100 as well. | 17:09 |
| UbuntuUser | flan_suse, have you tried force quit or xkill? | 17:09 |
| UbuntuUser | crontab101, thanks | 17:09 |
| flan_suse | UbuntuUser, I just joined the chat room. What was the issue? | 17:10 |
| UbuntuUser | flan_suse, my webcam use to work fine for cheese and gyachi, but doesn't now | 17:10 |
| flan_suse | UbuntuUser, you mean it worked fine under 9.04 but not 9.10 anymore? | 17:10 |
| h4ck3r | Hi Guys :) | 17:10 |
| UbuntuUser | flan_suse, it always worked in 9.10 | 17:11 |
| llutz | flan_suse: pkill has several options, default it would kill all instances | 17:11 |
| flan_suse | llutz, ah, okay. Thank you. | 17:11 |
| _Lucretia_ | hi, does the latest version of ubuntu have working php debs? I mean, with fixed imajick libs, etc? | 17:11 |
| flan_suse | llutz, and if pkill is run by a normal user, it will only kill the processes which are under that user's id? | 17:11 |
| llutz | flan_suse: afaik yes | 17:11 |
| flan_suse | llutz, thank you. | 17:12 |
| llutz | flan_suse: would be strange to kill other users apps as use | 17:12 |
| llutz | r | 17:12 |
| flan_suse | llutz, it helps, because I need to edit some menu shortcuts to this: pkill app & app | 17:12 |
| flan_suse | llutz, sometimes a program will just hang when I try to start it up, and I have to kill it to start it again. But doing "pkill app & app" will kill it for me before trying to launch it again. I was curious if it would affect other user processes. | 17:13 |
| llutz | flan_suse: maybe have a look into man pkill, there might be helpfull options | 17:13 |
| mac9416 | Hello, what kernel come with a fresh install of Karmic? | 17:13 |
| crontab101 | Try to press Fn+F6?nin Terminal (Alt-F2 -- gnome-terminal)nlsusbnbefore Fn+F6, and after it. | 17:13 |
| llutz | flan_suse: it should affect others | 17:13 |
| Pici | mac9416: 2.6.31 | 17:13 |
| flan_suse | UbuntuUser, I am going to see if my web cam works on my u100, Karmic netbook. (I don't have the Netbook Remix, so I think I need to install Cheese.) | 17:13 |
| flan_suse | llutz, you mean "shouldn't"? | 17:13 |
| UbuntuUser | flan_suse, ok thanks | 17:14 |
| llutz | flan_suse: ups, i meant, sry | 17:14 |
| mac9416 | Pici, thanks. Can I have the full uname -r though? | 17:14 |
| crontab101 | flan and ubuntu on that netbook Try to press Fn+F6?nin Terminal (Alt-F2 -- gnome-terminal)nlsusbnbefore Fn+F6, and after it. | 17:14 |
| UbuntuUser | i actually dislike the UNR theme, but thats just me | 17:14 |
| flan_suse | UbuntuUser, I take it you also noticed the bug that affects changing the display brightness with the hot keys? | 17:14 |
| UbuntuUser | it seems to "get in the way" | 17:14 |
| UbuntuUser | flan_suse, yes, and i removed the powere manager to fix it | 17:14 |
| crontab101 | i think that was the program that tells you whether your devices connected or not | 17:14 |
| flan_suse | UbuntuUser, I found that UNR is almost pointless. The regular desktop version works better for me. | 17:14 |
| A-Rishi | I am having problems with Ubuntu one ( ubuntu 9.10), whenever I click connect, it disconnects in 2 seconds saying my files are synced when it definately isn't. (I have added the computer) | 17:14 |
| flan_suse | UbuntuUser, plus, it can interfere if you try to install another desktop environment, like XFCE or KDE. UNR is too invasive. | 17:15 |
| flan_suse | UbuntuUser, they have a TON of people confirming the bug, so I'm guessing it'll be fixed soon. | 17:15 |
| crontab101 | my cam looked terrible when i finally got it installed in ubuntu | 17:15 |
| UbuntuUser | flan_suse, caused by an update, perhaps? | 17:16 |
| crontab101 | but to see if linux even detects your camera, Try to press Fn+F6?nin Terminal (Alt-F2 -- gnome-terminal)nlsusbnbefore Fn+F6, and after it. | 17:16 |
| jensm1 | someone here who feel that they can guide me thru the installation with USB flash on netbook? | 17:16 |
| flan_suse | UbuntuUser, the bug? It was introduced with 9.10, not an update. 9.04 did not have this issue with MSI Wind u100. | 17:16 |
| UbuntuUser | jensm1, have you tried unetbootin? | 17:16 |
| UbuntuUser | flan_suse, oh i thought ya meant the webcam thing | 17:16 |

| jensm1 | ubuntuuser: yes I am using it, | 17:17 |
| flan_suse | UbuntuUser, I don't know. I have the latest updates applied on 9.10, so I'll see if the camer works. | 17:17 |

| jensm1 | The thing is, when I have made an "ubuntu usb" I can see that it have stuff on it in windows, but when I plug it in and boot up my netbook its only a black screen with the crusor twinlke | 17:19 |
| platypus03 | ^workman^, yes | 17:20 |
| platypus03 | i can create a partition just fine via fdisk | 17:20 |
| santosh | all geeks | 17:20 |
| platypus03 | but the system wont see it because dmraid complains about missing a disk | 17:20 |
| platypus03 | and then the installer sees nothing for available disks | 17:20 |
| ^workman^ | platypus: but do you have your BIOS raid enabled? | 17:20 |
| flan_suse | jensm1, is this the Desktop CD or the Alternate CD? | 17:20 |
| platypus03 | ^workman^ RAID is disabled in the bios | 17:20 |
| ^workman^ | platypus: strange.. | 17:20 |
| platypus03 | yep | 17:20 |
| platypus03 | its like a catch22 | 17:21 |
| ^workman^ | platypus: I take it this is a new disk | 17:21 |
| mac9416 | Pici, "2.6.31-14.48" Awesome. Thanks. | 17:21 |
| flan_suse | jensm1, sounds like the USB creator (or whatever you used) didn't make the USB bootable. | 17:21 |
| platypus03 | actually no, this is the handiwork of fedora | 17:21 |
| platypus03 | it had fc10 on it or somethign before it came to me | 17:21 |
| platypus03 | and it put this metadata on the disk somehow | 17:21 |
| ^workman^ | platypus: cough, cough... lol | 17:21 |

| flan_suse | UbuntuUser, XFCE, to me, seems like a good idea to revive an old, slow PC. Other than that, I'd stick with GNOME for more control and flexibility. Plus, Thunar can't connect to a network share, like Nautilus can. | 17:40 |

| flan_suse | UbuntuUser, the "easy way", I'm sure you might have seen, is when you enable "Folder Sharing" on Windows, or "Share this folder" on Ubuntu / Linux Mint. It's basically a network share, using Samba. | 17:42 |

| shakaran1 | Hi, how I can split frames from a .gif? | 18:25 |
| Fandekasp | hi . I'm sorry, but I need help :S I've lost my router ssh connexion after rebooting it | 18:26 |
| Bookman | leaf-sheep, Thanks! I did not know that. | 18:26 |
| jensm1 | ^workman^ and what should I put in mount point? | 18:26 |
| Fandekasp | Now my parents are online, and I've asked them to open my session on the server. But nothing has changed, I can't ping my server (request timeout) | 18:26 |
| ^workman^ | jensm1: well, you will need a root partition and swap space.... so ext4 for / which is the root partition | 18:26 |
| Fandekasp | And a "/etc/init.d/ssh status" say that my ssh is running | 18:26 |
| Fandekasp | Do you know where is the problem ? | 18:27 |
| Fandekasp | Thank you in advance for your help | 18:27 |
| greezmunkey | Fandekasp, you have a static IP address? | 18:27 |
| Pholious | how do I install dot net with 'sh winetricks' ? it says I need a license? | 18:27 |
| Pholious | seems curse client requires dot net | 18:28 |
| Fandekasp | greezmunkey : for the server, a static IP address in local, and I use dyndns for the internet ip . My connexion worked fine for months | 18:28 |
| Gaming4JC | Pholious: try #winehq? Also, I think you do need a Windows OEM key to use some of windows components... | 18:28 |
| Pholious | Gaming4JC, ahh ty, I tried #wine and got kicked, invite-only :D | 18:29 |
| motorv | hi, there is console-setup, but is not allowing me to get a straight 80x25 console screen. Is there any trick I can try ? | 18:29 |
| Fandekasp | greezmunkey : but perhaps I've lost a config file | 18:29 |
| Fandekasp | How could I check all this ? | 18:29 |

| greezmunkey | Fandekasp, can your parents access the Internet right now from your machine? | 18:29 |
| Alan502 | leaf-sheep: what notification are? where is the option to share the internet? | 18:30 |
| Fandekasp | greezmunkey I ask them to try | 18:30 |
| Fandekasp | heu | 18:30 |
| Guest88434 | Hello, anyone experiencing the Mod4/windows key combination(such as Windows+D) responding only after several trials? | 18:30 |
| Fandekasp | greezmunkey : of course yes .. Because my website is running | 18:30 |
| Gaming4JC | greezmunkey: Here's the odd google results I'm getting today: http://img706.imageshack.us/img706/5835/ubuntuoddgoogleresults.jpg It all happened around 6:30PM last night (EST). | 18:30 |

| UbuntuUser | anyone tried enlightenment? do the common apps work with it the way they do gnome/xfce/kde? | 18:31 |
| leaf-sheep | Alan502: Right-click on Network Notification, Edit Connection. Make/Add a new profile and name it "Bridge" or something. Look in IPv4 Setting and set it to "Shared to Another Computer" and see if that works. | 18:31 |

| greezmunkey | Gaming4JC, I mean if Yahoo works, then I wouldn't worry about it, unless you own google stock :) | 18:32 |
| leaf-sheep | Gaming4JC: Looks like Firefox Addon... that's causing this. | 18:32 |
| Gaming4JC | greezmunkey: I thought the same thing but it's not doing it on my Windows PC... | 18:32 |
| carlosb78 | I' still can't run the pipslite package, but I was able to download iscan and install it successfully which enabled me to run sudo xsane | 18:32 |
| jensm1 | ^workman^: well I think I will need some help. I am booting up from usb Ubunto net book remix, and when start to install it says "The installer needs to commit changes to partition tablöes but cannot do so becasuse partitions on the following mount points could not be unmounted: /cdrom Please close any applications using these mount points | 18:33 |
| leaf-sheep | Gaming4JC: What is that green-ring symbol thing? | 18:33 |
| Gaming4JC | leaf-sheep: Hmm.. any idea what addon it might be? I've used WebOfTrust, NoScript, and Ghostery for years... | 18:33 |
| jensm1 | what should I do? | 18:33 |
| Gaming4JC | leaf-sheep: that's MyWOT (Web of Trust) | 18:33 |
| Gaming4JC | tells if a site is bad | 18:33 |
| Gaming4JC | much like McAffe Site advisor | 18:33 |
| greezmunkey | Gaming4JC, Like I said...Websites seem to work a bit differantly on FF than IE anyway. | 18:33 |
| leaf-sheep | Gaming4JC: Disable it and see if the problem still exists. | 18:33 |
| Gaming4JC | leaf-sheep: Ok I'll try that, thanks. :) | 18:34 |
| ^workman^ | jensm1: hmm, so your booting from cd? and it says it can't mount the cd? | 18:34 |
| jensm1 | ^workman^: nope mounting from usb | 18:34 |
| leaf-sheep | Gaming4JC: In fact, disable all extensions for starters. We had somebody in here complaining about lag in Internet or web-based mails until he/she disable the extensions. | 18:34 |
| ^workman^ | jensm1: but it's asking to mount /cdrom? | 18:34 |
| ^workman^ | jensm1: strange. how'd you create the live usb? | 18:35 |
| * Gaming4JC is also going to run BleachBit to clean out them temporary files. (just in case) ^_^ | 18:35 | |
| jensm1 | ^workman^: yesterday I used unetbootng to make a fake cd to boot from on harddrive, but whgen I tryied toi install it there is said the same thing | 18:35 |
| jensm1 | http://www.linuxliveusb.com/ | 18:35 |
| greezmunkey | leaf-sheep, where in FF do you disable extensions? | 18:35 |
| bondiblueos9 | I want to install ubuntu on my powerpc mac but my cd drive is broken | 18:36 |
| leaf-sheep | greezmunkey: The quickest way would be "firefox -safe-mode" | 18:36 |
| ^workman^ | jensm1: hmm, never used that before. I use unetbootin or the usb creator in ubuntu | 18:36 |
| greezmunkey | leaf-sheep, hmm, cool I'll remember that for future reference, thanks :) | 18:36 |
| Gaming4JC | leaf-sheep: After disabling all addons I am getting the search results back. Looks like an add-on gone wrong. I'll try and narrow it down here in a bit. Thanks btw :D | 18:37 |
| foey | Hello, I'm having some issues mounting a ntfs hard drive. Its listed as sdc1 and i've added it to fstab and created a folder - /media/sdc1 . however when I try and mount it, it displays - failed to access volume, /dev/sdc1 no such file or directory | 18:37 |
| greezmunkey | leaf-sheep, you are the man! | 18:37 |
| leaf-sheep | Gaming4JC: No problem. Perhaps your profile went borked. :( | 18:37 |
| jensm1 | ŵorkman^ unetbootin didnt make the usb bootable and usb creator did not work in win | 18:37 |
| jenda | trism: good tip - disabling adblock plus made it work, despite the fact that it wasn't among the blocked items. Odd, but efficient. | 18:38 |
| ^workman^ | foey: have you tried mounting before adding it to fstab? | 18:38 |
| foey | ^workman^ yeh, it then says does not exist in fstab. | 18:38 |
| jensm1 | ^Workman^: I try to erase all my partitions now and make new ones. how big should swap be? | 18:38 |
| aeon-ltd | ; | 18:39 |
| ^workman^ | jensm1: swap should be 2x your memory size | 18:39 |
| Gaming4JC | leaf-sheep, greezmunkey: I figured it out! AdblockPlus is the culprit. Seems one of the filters I got running on it is blocking most of google.com lol. I went ahead and disabled it and it's working fine with the remaining addons. Thanks guys. ^_^ | 18:40 |
| mMezquitale | foey, use UUID when mounting the hard drive in fstab | 18:40 |
| ^workman^ | foey: so your running : mount -t ntfs /dev/sdc1 /mountpoint | 18:40 |
| === cB- is now known as CharelB | ||
| ^workman^ | foey: and it complains about not being in fstab?? | 18:40 |
| qe2eqe | is there a neat way to make rm mean "rm -v" | 18:40 |
| jensm1 | swap should be logical huh`??? | 18:40 |
| leaf-sheep | Gaming4JC: Heh. You're running lot of security stuffs based on the photo. :) | 18:41 |
| aeon-ltd | ge2eqe: create an alias | 18:41 |
| leaf-sheep | qe2eqe: Alias. | 18:41 |
| ^workman^ | jensm1: yes... leave at the defaults | 18:41 |
| Gaming4JC | leaf-sheep: lol yes, I get hacked so much lately (even if mostly on Windows) I decided to go partially paranoid with security add-ons. :P | 18:41 |
| qe2eqe | leaf-sheep superthanks | 18:42 |
| leaf-sheep | qe2eqe: "nano ~/.bashrc" and look for information on aliases. You'll see few examples there and add the new one to your liking. You also can use .bash_aliases. | 18:42 |
| ^workman^ | qe2eqe: yes, make an alias in ~/.bashrc : alias rm='rm -v' | 18:42 |
| aeon-ltd | Gaming4JC: hacked? | 18:42 |
| ^workman^ | qe2eqe: then type source ~/.bashrc | 18:42 |
| ^workman^ | qe2eqe: then list the aliases by typing alias | 18:42 |
| dbugger | Hey guys! Can someone help me? I want to configure postfix with my gmail account, but I dont know how.. | 18:42 |
| mr_engineer | hi, now niether compiz or nautilus are starting up in my system... should they be in the .config/autostart dir? They are not there | 18:43 |
| foey | ^workman^ : hey sorry for the late reply. yeh it complains if its no in fstab, but when i do place it in there it complains about no finding the dev. | 18:43 |
| Gaming4JC | aeon-ltd: To a degree yes, viruses and browser exploits mostly. Also some heavey port scanning as of late. | 18:43 |
| grawity | mr_engineer: AFAIK, windowmanager and filemanager are in GNOME's "required components" list, which means they will always be autostarted (and auto-restarted). | 18:43 |
| qe2eqe | leaf-sheep, ^workman^ thanks a bunch! | 18:44 |
| grawity | dbugger: For outgoing mail? | 18:44 |
| akiraaaaaa | hello, wich is the best post script editor avaliable for linux? | 18:44 |
| mr_engineer | grawity, well, they're not starting up lol, what could be causing the problem? | 18:44 |
| ^workman^ | foey: what does fdisk -l report? use pastebin.com and send me the link | 18:44 |
| ^workman^ | qe2eqe: np | 18:44 |
| iceroot | !best | akiraaaaaa | 18:44 |
| soreau | mr_engineer: Compiz should be set to auto start by setting anything other than None in Sys>Prefs>Appearance>Visual Effects | 18:44 |
| ubottu | akiraaaaaa: 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. | 18:44 |
| mMezquitale | foey, first let's find out what you have, use paste bin and paste the link to this command: "sudo fdisk -l" | 18:44 |
| dbugger | Yes. I'm trying to get PHP to send mails. | 18:44 |
| grawity | mr_engineer: What if you start one of them manually? | 18:44 |
| Wazzzaaa | akiraaaaaa: I think that's a matter of taste | 18:44 |
| akiraaaaaa | well a good one to try | 18:44 |
| dbugger | grawity, Yes. I'm trying to get PHP to send mails. | 18:44 |
| mr_engineer | grawity, i can | 18:44 |
| tdn | Can I install Ubuntu Netbook Remix from an SD card on my Lenovo S10? | 18:44 |

| grawity | dbugger: Is that a server, or your own personal computer? | 18:45 |
| iceroot | akiraaaaaa: vim | 18:45 |
| mr_engineer | grawity, its not the ideal thing though | 18:45 |
| akiraaaaaa | vim improved? | 18:45 |
| mMezquitale | foey, sorry i meant to say use paste bin to paste the output of the command: "sudo fdisk -l" | 18:45 |

| ^workman^ | foey: I'll be here... =) | 18:45 |

| mistergibson | Is there a way for Network Settings and Network Manager to get along? | 18:45 |
| meero_ | is ubuntu remix faster on older notebook , than standart ubuntu? | 18:45 |
| Alan502 | leaf-sheep: i already configured what you told me on this computer, now, what should i configure on the other one? | 18:46 |
| grawity | dbugger: Then maybe esmtp will be better for you? Personal computers usually don't need to handle incoming email, so esmtp is lighter and easier to config. | 18:46 |
| ^workman^ | meero: remix is for netbooks, not notebooks =) | 18:46 |
| maco | meero_: not really. it has a more graphics intensive ui | 18:46 |
| maco | meero_: you probably want xubuntu | 18:46 |
| Travis-42 | if a parent directory has chmod 600, it doesn't matter if a child directory is set to 666, it still can't be accessed, right? | 18:46 |
| * grawity opens his postfix config. | 18:46 | |
| ^workman^ | Travis-42: correct | 18:46 |
| dbugger | grawity, would you help me configure it? :( | 18:46 |
| Alan502 | ^workman^: have you tried kubuntu netbook remix? | 18:46 |
| foey | ^workman^ : http://pastebin.com/m1eaaae05 - btw - ive already added sda which works perfectly. | 18:46 |
| Travis-42 | ok thanks ^workman^ :-) | 18:46 |
| grawity | Travis-42: 6 only gives read/write permissions, but not execute. Which means, the directory will _never_ be accessible. | 18:47 |
| leaf-sheep | Alan502: None. You should plug it in. | 18:47 |
| aeon-ltd | meero_:if you want an OS for an old notebook just google for lightweight kinux distros | 18:47 |
| grawity | Travis-42: So, you sure you didn't mean 700 and 777? | 18:47 |
| grawity | dbugger: esmtp or postfix? | 18:47 |
| Travis-42 | grawity: err, yes that's what I meant :-) | 18:47 |
| ^workman^ | Alan502: no srry, I don't own a netbook..... wanna donate to my netbook fund =) | 18:47 |
| Alan502 | leaf-sheep: let me check if there is something wrong with the physical connection then... | 18:47 |
| ^workman^ | np Travis | 18:47 |
| dbugger | grawity, whatever you prefer. I just want it to work. | 18:47 |
| grawity | Travis-42: Anyway, for a directory to be accessed, you must have +x perms for all its parents. | 18:47 |
| Travis-42 | grawity: ok, that's what I was making sure. thank you :-) | 18:48 |
| leaf-sheep | Alan502: The computer have two ethernet cards? | 18:48 |

| jensm1 | ^Workman^: I still get the /cdrom error!? | 18:50 |

| ^workman^ | jensm1: hmm | 18:50 |
| aeon-ltd | meero_: yes, but it seems pointless don't you think to have a "crippled" OS on a notebook | 18:50 |
| ^workman^ | jensm1: do you have a cdrom? or is this a netbook? | 18:50 |
| foey | ^workman^ : No such file or directory | 18:50 |

| ^workman^ | foey: do : ls -al /dev | grep sd* | 18:51 |
| dbugger | grawity, whatever you prefer. I just want it to work. | 18:51 |
| Alan502 | leaf-sheep: it only has one ethernet card too | 18:51 |
| grawity | dbugger: writing the postfix part now, will give a link soon. | 18:51 |
| ^workman^ | jensm1: do you have another computer you can run unetbootin on? does it have a cdrom? | 18:51 |
| dbugger | grawity, thanks :) | 18:52 |
| jensm1 | ^Workman^: Yes and Yes | 18:52 |
| aeon-ltd | :part | 18:52 |
| leaf-sheep | Alan502: I see. The computer is connected to modem via ethernet cable or is that USB as you said? If that's USB, then you could connect both computers using ethernet cable. | 18:52 |
| jensm1 | ^Workman^: I got one desktop Pc win xp and one macbook | 18:52 |

| fjgaros | irchispano | 18:53 |
| aeon-ltd | meero_: how old is this notebook btw, because what most people deem as old are still quite capable | 18:53 |
| meero_ | aeon-ltd: why do u thing crippled?? | 18:53 |
| ivze | vsMS, dd if=/dev/zero of=/media/......../dumpfile.dat | 18:53 |

| leaf-sheep | Alan502: Okay. Is the Network Manager running on the new profile (with custom shared linking)? | 18:54 |
| ^workman^ | foey: your sdc drive isn't being seen at all. Is it plugged in?; what does dmesg report? any errors regarding your other 250GB drive? | 18:54 |
| ^workman^ | jensm1: does the windows pc have the ubuntu ISO on it? | 18:54 |
| aeon-ltd | meero_: crippled because you want to use a OS made specifically for low spec (eee pc 800mhz), 7-9 pentium 2/3? | 18:54 |
| jensm1 | ^Workman^: Yes | 18:55 |
| mistergibson | anyone feel like hand holding on networking: how to get Network Settings panel and Network Manager playing nice? | 18:55 |

| Guest66241 | i copied the file /dev/sda and now want to mount it on anotjer system | 18:57 |
| Dr_Willis | Guest66241: somthing similer to 'sudo mount -o loop fileimage.img -t filesystem /media/imagemountpoint | 18:58 |
| meero_ | aeon-ltd: im not sure, is my mothers notebook, she is using xp now, full of bullshi-ware , i want to change to ubuntu, but not sure what version | 18:58 |
| maco | Guest66241: /dev/sda isnt a disk image. its a device node. | 18:58 |
| ^workman^ | foey: that shouldn't be an issue, thats how most of my servers are setup. only thing is, I don't have a drive with ntfs on them in my systems | 18:58 |
| Guest66241 | is it possible to mount it? | 18:58 |
| maco | Guest66241: /dev/ is virtual. nothing in it is actaully a file | 18:58 |
| mMezquitale | anyone here uses a netbook? I'm trying to find out a good usb wireless mouse for a netbook that will work with uNr out of the box? | 18:58 |
| Alan502 | leaf-sheep: haha, at least is enough to surf and download some packages; brb mom calling for dinner. Cya! | 18:58 |
| ^workman^ | foey: Is the ntfs disk bootable? | 18:58 |
| Dr_Willis | Guest66241: if you made a Image of a hard drive to a file... you can.. your use of /dev/sda is confuseing. | 18:58 |
| VirusTB | hi | 18:58 |
| Guest66241 | so why is it some gb big? | 18:58 |
| jensm1 | ^Workman^: Im sorry, I udid that before with unetbootin, but it DINT make it bootable. | 18:59 |
| Da_Kr0n | isit update-grub reports can not find device for / | 18:59 |
| arooni__ | seems like copy/paste is not working normally on karmic. when i copy with control + c, it doesnt pick up what i copy some times, specifically in google chrome. | 18:59 |
| maco | Guest66241: you could dd from /dev/sda into a (very large) file. so if /dev/sda is a 250GB hard drive you could dd it to a 250GB file on your 500GB hard drive.. | 18:59 |
| Dr_Willis | Guest66241: if you want to mount /dev/sda1 somewhere you can do that | 18:59 |
| jensm1 | ^Workman^: so I wanna make sure that I do all things right | 18:59 |
| trijntje | mMezquitale, as far as i know there are no mouse-issues with ubuntu | 18:59 |
| greezmunkey | Alan502, /dev/clutch = in && /dev/transmission -shift && /dev/clutch = out | 18:59 |
| ^workman^ | jensm1: how about booting your win pc with a live ubuntu cd, and using the usb cd creator? | 18:59 |
| aeon-ltd | meero_: depending on your linux experience i would reccommend (from a lot of experience to least) arch linux, debian, crunchbang, xubuntu, ubuntu(but strip a lot of useless software out) | 18:59 |
| foey | ^workman^ : er..good question. i think it may of had vista on at one point. Its got quite a few files which I want to access via my linux-server. I could just plug it in another machine --but not letting this get the best of me! besides i want to keep the hd in the machine | 19:00 |
| ^workman^ | aeon-ltd: don't forget mint linux | 19:00 |
| Nixot | Grrrr | 19:00 |
| Nixot | after I upgraded from hardy to intrepid... | 19:00 |

| ubottu | Nixot: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 19:00 |
| mMezquitale | trijntje, you dont know until you encounter them LoL I was hoping someone that has a wireless mouse with their netbook would let me know what theyre using but thanks either way | 19:00 |
| foey | ^workman^ : ...but i fdisk'd that drive in ext3 | 19:01 |
| ^workman^ | foey: wonder if the harddrive is having issues? | 19:01 |
| meero_ | aeon-ltd: im quite familiar with ubuntu, but never used other distros. and if u are forced to decide between ubuntu, and remix, what whould u choose | 19:01 |
| Nixot | after I upgraded from hardy to intrepid the sound is out of sync in my games and I can't figure out how to change the sound buffer... | 19:01 |
| Nixot | or downgrade to hardy again... | 19:01 |
| foey | ^workman^ : it shouldnt be, its only come out of my main pc recently - it was only a storage drive. it's fine in other pcs | 19:01 |
| iceroot | Nixot: wine? then look at abbdb | 19:01 |
| trijntje | mMezquitale, what I'm saying is that you are the first to ask about a suported usb-mouse. So that makes me think no-one has problems with their mouse ;) | 19:01 |
| konbon | anyone know how to get a "Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN" to work on wicd in ubuntu 9.10 ? | 19:01 |

| konbon | Thanks :) | 19:02 |
| aeon-ltd | meero_: ubuntu butu try and lighten it up a little, maybe change gnome+metacity to openbox, or choose lighter software and remove everything you don't or will never need | 19:02 |
| ^workman^ | foey: I'd go back to basics. I'd leave the main ubuntu disk in, and only have the ntfs disk, nothing else. Then see what happens. | 19:02 |
| mistergibson | should I choose one or the other of 'Gnome Network Settings' or 'Network Manager' ? it appears that they fight | 19:02 |
| llutz | VirusTB: get the key from ppa, add it | 19:02 |
| ^workman^ | foey: strip it down, to find the issue | 19:02 |
| VirusTB | llutz, how do I do that may I ask? | 19:02 |
| trijntje | Nixot, are you sure it is a sound buffer problem? what about movies? | 19:02 |
| ManDay | What package do I need to have a configurable login screen (or rather: a very simple one where you only type name and password). i thought gdm would offer an extremly simple screen in its configuration but it doesnt | 19:02 |
| grawity | dbugger: Okay, http://sprunge.us/JUUY - scripted! | 19:02 |
| meero_ | aeon-ltd: ok, thanx ill try | 19:03 |
| Nixot | iceroot: what is abbdb? | 19:03 |
| Nixot | and what about wine? | 19:03 |
| foey | ^workman^ : ok, i may just resort to putting the files on another drive and fdisk'ing in ext3 | 19:03 |

| grawity | dbugger: Oh, if you chose postfix, you'll need to run my script with "sudo". | 19:03 |
| mMezquitale | trijntje, i have a problem with my current mouse, it's USB, the middle scroll wheel doesnt work LoL with new hardware you most always have issues | 19:04 |
| ^workman^ | foey: np man, sorry I could be more help! | 19:04 |
| dbugger | grawity, Im gonna try the script for psotfix, be rightback | 19:04 |
| ulrich | xD | 19:04 |
| foey | ^workman^ : yeh im begning to think that too. Much easier with ext3! thanks man | 19:04 |
| trijntje | Nixot, both ;) I would think it could be wine related, If it is your sound vids should have the same problem | 19:04 |

| alesan | how can I have dhclient "forget" its preferred ip that is requested to the dhcp server? | 19:07 |
| grawity | dbugger: Good :] | 19:07 |
| VirusTB | llutz, how do i even find the key? | 19:08 |
| dbugger | grawity, thanks man. Im keeping this script for eternity | 19:08 |
| grawity | alesan: dhclient --help | 19:08 |
| llutz | VirusTB: usually its shown on the ppa-site | 19:08 |
| ManDay | can anyone tell me what xdm looks like? | 19:08 |
| ^workman^ | Jahithber: by default doesn't play swf files. you either need a plugin or you need a proper swf flash player... do a google search for "linux swf players" | 19:08 |
| llutz | ManDay: like a login-manager, simply working | 19:08 |
| alesan | grawity, so do you discourage a google search? what is best? | 19:09 |
| ^workman^ | ManDay: it looks boring =) | 19:09 |
| Jahithber | my flash is working in browser :) but i want to make it work in vlc player :) | 19:09 |
| VirusTB | llutz, ok but i dont know what PPA i am searching or :S | 19:09 |
| VirusTB | for8 | 19:09 |
| ManDay | good, i like boring | 19:09 |
| ManDay | does it offer some sort of configuration? | 19:09 |

| ManDay | what is that login manager that native ubuntu has? | 19:09 |
| mMezquitale | trijntje, i see activity logged when clicking down on the scroll wheel and when scrolling up and down but it doesnt work on any of my appz like xchat, firefox, nautilus, etc | 19:09 |

| syn-ack | ManDay, Um, GDM? | 19:09 |
| VirusTB | I got an issue when I do "Sudo apt-get update" ........?? An "GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net karmic Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 0845425716C248F7 grawity | 19:09 |
| Jahithber | thanks ubottu | 19:09 |
| grawity | alesan: I have, worked for me. | 19:09 |
| ManDay | syn-ack, I got gdm installed but it doesnt offer any kind of configuration | 19:10 |
| syn-ack | ManDay, Such as? | 19:10 |
| grawity | VirusTB: sudo apt-key adv --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-key 0845425716C248F7 | 19:10 |
| trijntje | mMezquitale, so your mouse works ;) you just need to map the right button to the right action in ubuntu | 19:10 |
| syn-ack | ManDay, As in, what are you wanting to do with it? | 19:10 |
| ManDay | such as what the login screen looks like. the last login manager I HAD installed offered that kinda stuff - like background color, etc | 19:10 |
| mistergibson | ok, can anyone tell me what the *standard* package that controls network devices and configuration is??? | 19:10 |
| ManDay | I want to simplfiy it | 19:10 |
| ManDay | the last one i had just had a simple "enter name" and "enter pass" promt | 19:11 |
| syn-ack | ManDay, I don't see how it could get any more simple. | 19:11 |
| trism | ManDay: you can actually configure it a bit, but it isn't worth it at this point, because gdm updates reset it to default | 19:11 |
| ManDay | syn-ack, as it is now it offers a clickable list of users | 19:11 |
| ManDay | i dont want that | 19:11 |
| grawity | ManDay: If you want something really simple, use good old text-based login. | 19:11 |
| ManDay | nah | 19:11 |
| ManDay | thats too simple | 19:11 |
| ManDay | :P | 19:11 |
| === viniciusmendes is now known as vbmendes | ||
| ManDay | just tell me the name of a more fancy one | 19:11 |
| ManDay | (that would probably be the one i am looking for) | 19:12 |
| mMezquitale | trijntje, the scrolling up and down actually works, sort of, it behaves the way moving behaved for old mice that had hair or were dirty in those mice with a track ball, I'm going to open it up and see if that's the problem, doubt it since ive never seen that problem with optical mice | 19:12 |
| syn-ack | ManDay, Gnome is in the process of writing an actual config for it so if you want to config it, you're gonna have to go in to gconf et al and config it by hand | 19:12 |
| ManDay | the one which has little thumbnails to each user | 19:12 |
| MrKeuner | hello, what is a good key combination to use for meta key in Gnome Desktop Environment if there is no ms button on my keyboard? | 19:12 |
| trijntje | mMezquitale, but i'm not sure how to do that, on my pc scroll up is button 4, scrol down is button 5, scrol push is button 6 | 19:12 |
| VirusTB | llutz, ok i got it thanks | 19:12 |
| grawity | MrKeuner: "Meta" is the Alt key - it's on every keyboard that I have seen. | 19:12 |
| ^workman^ | ManDay: try something like this - http://opsamericas.com/?p=531 | 19:12 |
| grawity | MrKeuner: The left Alt key, to be precise. | 19:12 |
| VirusTB | thanks grawity | 19:12 |
| syn-ack | grawity, he was thinking that the windows key is the meta key | 19:12 |
| MrKeuner | grawity, sorry... Super key | 19:13 |
| macka | hi | 19:13 |
| zenwryly | How can I find the sector size for a dm-crypt device? "cryptsetup status" only lists the sector cout. | 19:13 |
| trijntje | mMezquitale, ah, so thats something completely different ;) | 19:13 |
| grawity | hm. didn't notice the "ms button" bit. | 19:13 |
| grawity | MrKeuner: What do you need it for? | 19:13 |
| MrKeuner | for many things like gnome-do or 3d effects, etc | 19:14 |
| ManDay | ^workman^, syn-ack the one I used to have with ubuntu offered a lot of stuff an configuration - its the one that ships with a vanilla COMPLETE ubuntu. i installed from a minimal, tho - so what is the login manager called that the average ubuntu user gets displayed? | 19:14 |
| grawity | MrKeuner: In most places, keyboard shortcuts are changeable... I'm really sure Compiz allows that. And if not, it's possible to remap keys with xmodmap | 19:14 |
| syn-ack | ManDay, no, its the one that shipped with Juanty | 19:14 |
| syn-ack | ManDay, and like I said, it GDM | 19:15 |
| syn-ack | it's | 19:15 |
| MrKeuner | grawity, rather then changing in every app separately, I would use xmodmap but what may be a good combination to use | 19:15 |
| ManDay | oh, so it changed THAT much from jaunty to karmic? | 19:15 |
| ManDay | why did they take away all the fancy config= | 19:15 |
| ManDay | ? | 19:15 |
| syn-ack | ManDay, yes. | 19:15 |
| ^workman^ | ManDay: GDM? I know what your talking about, I just don't know what the app name is called. | 19:15 |
| ManDay | can i in any way make it only ask for a user name and pass and not display a list of users etc? | 19:15 |
| syn-ack | ManDay, Because they are using a newever version of GDM that they've skipped for the past three releases due to that iss | 19:15 |
| syn-ack | issue, too | 19:16 |
| ManDay | syn-ack, i dont understand how a newer version of gdm can be that much different from the thing i used to use and you say was gdm | 19:16 |
| ManDay | its like black and white | 19:16 |
| llutz | ManDay: its a complete rewrite | 19:16 |
| syn-ack | ManDay, Ubuntu is hoping this gives Gnome a kick in the pants to do their job | 19:16 |
| MrKeuner | ms key on keyboards is a showcase for ms dominance, I really wished Ubuntu people saw that and acted accordingly, by not forcing people to buy keyboards with that key | 19:16 |
| ManDay | hm ok, ill swallow it | 19:17 |
| grawity | MrKeuner: Remap CapsLock? That one isn't very useful. | 19:17 |
| ManDay | so no way for only a text field? | 19:17 |
| ManDay | i will have to choose user from a list? | 19:17 |
| syn-ack | ManDay, at this point... not really | 19:17 |
| syn-ack | ManDay, yes | 19:17 |
| ManDay | :-/ ok thanks guys | 19:18 |
| ^workman^ | ManDay: use a default shell logon.... =) | 19:18 |
| MrKeuner | grawity, i used that earlier, but I need something more practical several times not being able to use caps lock key caused problms | 19:18 |
| grawity | MrKeuner: (I have remapped it to Compose, very useful for typing things such as ° § ø) | 19:18 |
| mistergibson | can someone spend a few minutes chatting about Network Manager and its fights with Menu>System>Administration>Network ? | 19:18 |
| ^workman^ | ManDay: customize the issue file and viola | 19:18 |
| ManDay | ^workman^, given the fact that my old l/m seems gone the option seems tempting | 19:18 |
| ManDay | ok | 19:18 |
| ManDay | ill read the page | 19:18 |

| mistergibson | I did three times | 19:23 |
| ^workman^ | srry, didn't see that | 19:23 |
| syn-ack | VirusTB, Most likely GRUB legacy unless he upgraded it | 19:23 |
| mistergibson | I have Network Manager installed | 19:23 |
| mistergibson | but it fights with Network settings panel under admin menu | 19:24 |
| mistergibson | the two set the same files and fight | 19:24 |
| mistergibson | which one do I remove from my system? | 19:24 |
| ^workman^ | mistergibson: I'd say leave the default "NetworkManager" and remove the other one | 19:24 |
| mistergibson | k, thanks | 19:24 |
| VirusTB | ^workman^ syn-ack, well when go "grub --version" in command primt, i get "The program 'grub' is currently not installed" | 19:24 |
| mneptok | mistergibson: you don;t remove either. | 19:24 |
| mistergibson | hrm | 19:25 |

| syn-ack | VirusTB, Then grub 2 is installed | 19:25 |

| mistergibson | then why is it there and they aren't integrated? hrm | 19:25 |
| mistergibson | ok | 19:25 |

I cannot seem to get an application to start during startup (by adding to it to startup applications). When I do, the computer freezes in the middle of the startup sound.

| xckpd7 | x86_64 GNU | 20:04 |
| ikonia | luis_: telnet to the server name and proxy port - see if you can get to it | 20:04 |
| Halitech | VirusTB, shut down virtual machine and then check the settings in virtual box | 20:04 |
| xckpd7 | Halitech: x86_64 GNU/Linux | 20:04 |
| Halitech | xckpd7, then you want the 64bit | 20:05 |
| Dr_Willis | jMyles: hard to tell what to file a bug against. If it works fine with the delay. could be some sort of race condition | 20:05 |
| NeoNexus | VirusTB : Have you setup a virtual machine yet, ie Machine type, Hard disk etc? | 20:05 |
| jMyles | luis_: Tell us more about your configuration. What is the proxy address? | 20:05 |
| mneptok | xckpd7: install Virtualbox from the repos | 20:05 |
| mneptok | xckpd7: then you're sure you get the right version | 20:05 |

| ^workman^ | VirusTB: does your BIOS see your CDROM | 20:09 |
| Halitech | xckpd7, then you have to unistall the current version and use the one you downloaded | 20:10 |
| VirusTB | ^workman^, yes I can see the files on the CD, but VirtualBox just doesnt see th cd (or doesnt show me a CD option) | 20:10 |

| Guest50830 | how can I disable ctrl-s lock in xterm? | 20:27 |

| Guest46758 | WINE DOES NOT WORK ON MY COMPUTER | 20:27 |
| Kyran | Quest46758, it depends on the game. You could try virtualizing the machine if you have a tough enough computer, but WINE is going to be better for that | 20:28 |
| ^workman^ | VirusTB: hard to say. I would just backup the .xml and start playing with the settings from the link I sent u | 20:28 |
| Dr_Willis | Guest46758: thats an incorrect statement.. wine may not work for SPECIFIC apps.. but it can work for many | 20:28 |

| gerzel | ok Odd setup question here. I got a creative xfi card(working fine) in my box and the on-board sound. The on board sound is low-quality, but so are my speakers so I have them plugged into the onboard while my high quality phones are plugged into the card. In sound there is an option to choose the sound output device and I can choose one or the other or simultanious. I was wondering if I could make a script or button to add to the pan | 20:45 |
| gerzel | el to switch between card only and simultanious output. | 20:45 |
| xckpd7 | duffydack: I really don't know what I'm doing here | 20:45 |
| gerzel | IE how do I figure out how to do this outside of the gui? | 20:45 |
| duffydack | so lsmod | grep vbox | 20:45 |
| duffydack | should be 3 | 20:45 |
| xckpd7 | duffydack: correct | 20:46 |
| duffydack | xckpd7, now we're good. | 20:46 |

| ikonia | dragon: some applications are 32bit only - some machines will run better with 32/64bit | 21:01 |
| NuuBuntu | When I run lsb_release -a it says I have 8.04 Hardy, but I've been checking update manager every week and it hasn't offered the opportunity to update to the newest distro. How do I update automatically? | 21:01 |

| ikonia | veda: as long as the client is compatible with the encyription level it shouldn't be a problem | 21:01 |
| b1ackcr0w | is there any way I can install karmic and force it to install the generic kernel not the pae?? | 21:02 |
| ikonia | NuuBuntu: it won't offer you non-lts releases from 8.04 | 21:02 |
| racecar56 | Flannel: ok. | 21:02 |
| Flannel | NuuBuntu: 8.04 is LTS, so it won't offer you an upgrade until another LTS (10.04) by default, if you upgrade, you'll have to upgrade to 8.10 (and then 9.04, then 9.10 to get to a current version) | 21:02 |
| ikonia | b1ackcr0w: the pae kernel is the server kernel | 21:02 |
| veda | ikonia: Great, but I've encountered some issues connecting to a Win32 host from Ubuntu 9.10. | 21:02 |
| duffydack | ok, so, now when I run something that needs auth the box that pops up, stays there and I dont get auth | 21:02 |
| racecar56 | Flannel: do it from a live cd, right?? | 21:02 |
| NuuBuntu | Thank you both. | 21:02 |
| ikonia | veda: I've not seen - or had such problems | 21:02 |
| Flannel | racecar56: You actually don't have to, sicen you're not modifying partitions, but it certainly can't hurt. | 21:02 |
| dragon | ikonia: it's a new laptop, dual core, for general use. | 21:03 |
| b1ackcr0w | ikonia that's weird - because karmic and mint 8 try to install pae on my desktop | 21:03 |
| racecar56 | Flannel: i'll stay on my HDD install, it'll be faster that way. | 21:03 |
| veda | ikonia: Good for you then :) | 21:03 |
| ikonia | b1ackcr0w: how do you know (I'm not interested in mint) | 21:03 |
| ikonia | veda: then don't ask if people are having problems if you don't want the answer | 21:03 |

| LordQuackstar | Quick Question: How can i disable (not unistall) the nvidia drivers temporarily? I thought deleting the xorg.conf file will fix it, but it didn't.] | 21:05 |
| quanticle | So, does anyone know what other services can alter the CPU frequency besides the CPU Frequency Scaling applet in Gnome? | 21:05 |
| veda | It connects from my Nokia N82 which is 802.1q/b/g compat, hmm. | 21:05 |
| veda | Ubuntu fails to, however; perhaps I have a driver or two missing/incompat. | 21:06 |
| ikonia | LordQuackstar: you can force a change of driver from the xorg.conf or blacklist the nvidia modules | 21:06 |
| ^workman^ | LordQuackstar: you can try system->administration-.hardware drivers | 21:06 |
| h4f1 | quanticle: cpulimit can alter in % cpu usage by any processes | 21:06 |
| armornick | msp3k: brand, I guess, but most wireless chips are compatible with linux nowadays | 21:06 |
| LordQuackstar | ikonia: should i modify the failsafe xorg.conf? | 21:07 |
| armornick | msp3k: I don't know which others, but I recommend you at least stay away from broadcom wireless | 21:07 |
| quanticle | h4f1: That's not what I mean. I mean to say, what else interacts with the power management hardware to alter the clock speed of my CPU. | 21:07 |
| ikonia | LordQuackstar: | 21:07 |
| msp3k | armornick, I hear a lot about having to use ndiswrapper, and would like to stick with FLOSS drivers if possible | 21:07 |
| ikonia | LordQuackstar: no - that's for fall back only, you need to change /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 21:07 |
| b1ackcr0w | ikonia: no it's single boot to my dektop HD | 21:07 |
| mneptok | msp3k: what form factor card? or are you buying something integrated? | 21:08 |
| armornick | msp3k: I'm using broadcom wireless and while it has native linux drivers, there's an annoying regression | 21:08 |
| msp3k | armornick, thanks, that's good to know. I'll avoid broadcom. | 21:08 |
| LordQuackstar | ikonia: i deleted it | 21:08 |
| ikonia | LordQuackstar: re-create it | 21:09 |
| Flannel | b1ackcr0w: That shouldn'tbe installing the PAE kernel (as it's not on the CD) | 21:09 |

| LordQuackstar | ikonia: from failsafe? | 21:09 |

| ikonia | template | 21:09 |

| ikonia | Flannel: I didn't think it could do that | 21:22 |
| Flannel | Oh, that's true, b1ackcr0w, try removing internet while installing | 21:22 |
| ^workman^ | ikonia: don't the apt repos get invoked during install? | 21:22 |
| ikonia | ^workman^: they never used to and I'm not aware of them getting done now | 21:22 |
| scuffed | my apache is giving me the 403 error now, when it used to work. | 21:22 |
| Flannel | ikonia: Well, the alternate CD does it. They might've added it for this purpose to the desktop CD (although I have no information suggesting this) | 21:22 |
| ^workman^ | ikonia: 9.10 server does.... and will ask for a proxy to the internet if you need one. | 21:23 |
| b1ackcr0w | i'd be quite happy to accept the 3.3gb adressable space (or whatever the figure it is) that generic 32 bit gives | 21:23 |

| Flannel | ikonia, ^workman^: the existance of -generic-pae *is* the implementation of that (whether they knew it or not) | 21:26 |
| Flannel | b1ackcr0w: Nah, it won't install -pae without your intervention | 21:26 |
| Flannel | b1ackcr0w: We're thinking the installer might be too smart for its own good in this case, without telling you | 21:27 |

| ^workman^ | Flannel: even more silly. this is from packtpub.com This is the default for 64bit and generic-pae kernels and this protection reduces the areas an attacker can use to perform arbitrary code execution. The protection is now partially emulated on 32-bit kernels without PAE starting in Ubuntu 9.10. | 21:34 |
| b1ackcr0w | i take it you reccoment a whole new bug for the pae panic, the existing one won't do? | 21:34 |
| opticon | is it possible to run apps for mac on ubuntu? | 21:34 |
| ^workman^ | Flannel: emulated? why bother | 21:34 |
| Flannel | b1ackcr0w: Oh, if there's already a bug on it, that's fine, unless yours is significantly different. | 21:35 |
| b1ackcr0w | it seems o be on the backest of all the backburners! | 21:35 |
| b1ackcr0w | i might not have written the bug very well, so I might need to do a re-write | 21:36 |

| Guest1085 | Nixot, I was told not to upgrade | 21:37 |
| Flannel | b1ackcr0w: If you give me bug report numbers, I'll make sure they're passed to the right people | 21:37 |
| Guest1085 | so i always fresh install | 21:37 |

| ZummiG777 | Question: Is there a 'clean' way to upgrade your kernel in Ubuntu when one isn't presented in the update options? I'm currently running 9.04 with kernel 2.6.28-16-generic. However, I've read that kernel 2.6.29-5 will solve a hang-issue with my dell system. Ideas? | 21:44 |

| h4f | simba_: so you have pid =7066 beam.smp and pid=6943 python . look for what they are | 21:45 |
| h4f | simba_ most probably its something like network applet or any of this | 21:45 |
| ^workman^ | ZummiG777: do you see the kernel you need running: sudo apt-cache search linux-image | 21:46 |
| ZummiG777 | ^workman^ Nope. | 21:47 |
| simba_ | h4f, if i connect with web browser on that port i get htaccess but none of the users and passes i can think of work' | 21:47 |
| ^workman^ | ZummiG777: welp, unless there is some cool hidden way that I don't know about in ubuntu you can build your own custom kernel, or upgrade to 9.10 | 21:49 |
| ZummiG777 | ^workman^ OK. That was what I thought was going to be the ultimate answer. | 21:49 |
| h4f | simba_: when I am connecting to beam.smp it asks me for a pass | 21:49 |
| simba_ | h4f, simba 7075 0.0 0.0 1528 376 ? Ss 07:49 0:00 heart -pid 7066 -ht 11; and ubuntu one on 6943 | 21:50 |
| ^workman^ | ZummiG777: not sure if you can add in a new apt source url for a kernel upgrade or not. the folks in offtopic might know | 21:50 |
| h4f | any one know what's beam.smp process for ? | 21:50 |
| ZummiG777 | ^workman^: It would be just as easy to take the plunge into 9.10 then hope all my kernel dependent stuff would just magically work. | 21:51 |
| ZummiG777 | Thanks a bunch! | 21:51 |

| rohan | on my dell vostro 1510 laptop, there is a single switch for both wifi and bluetooth. hence i have switched off bluetooth in bios. however, sometimes when i need it, is there any way to enable it except from rebooting and enabling it in bios? | 21:53 |
| h4f | simba_ beam.smp is for couchdb which is some how relates to apache | 21:54 |
| simba_ | h4f, ahh...thats all ubuntu1 | 21:54 |
| h4f | simba_: the problem now is that when connecting on that ports is asking me for a pass which I have no idea of | 21:54 |
| aeon-ltd | rohan: this is a dirty workaround but, you could enable it in the bios then make a script to load and unload the module | 21:55 |
| ^workman^ | h4f: simba_: check this out - http://till.klampaeckel.de/blog/archives/16-Measuring-CouchDB-performance.html | 21:55 |
| tmartins | Is anyone having trouble with kdm and the latest xorg update? | 21:55 |

| aeon-ltd | rohan: sorry i don't know the module (googles your friend), never had bluetooth | 21:56 |
| simba_ | h4f, ^workman^, thanx | 21:56 |
| rohan | aeon-ltd: thanks | 21:56 |

| textex | Dr_Willis Ill try to explain the best i can. I start the install, and see the ubuntu logo for a while. Then it goes further to a black screen with alot of text. Then it suddenly comes "failed to restore crtc configuration" a few 100 times after eachother with the screen flashing all the time | 22:18 |
| rapha | Shockrates: System > Settings > Keyboard Shortcuts or somesuch | 22:18 |
| Evdokimos | Shockrates: we know some greek! | 22:18 |
| Dr_Willis | LogicalDash: ive seen some ubuntu tutorial sites mention that. and how to tweak/disable the 'maximus' program thats doing the fullscreening. But ive never messed with it. | 22:18 |
| scott_ino2 | Shockrates, have you checked it under keyboard shortcuts to make sure it's enabled | 22:18 |
| valters | try reboot computer and then see what happens | 22:19 |
| Dr_Willis | textex: has any linux worked on that pc befor? | 22:19 |
| Bookman_ | Ok, I've Force Quit Evolution for the last time. What is the best alternative? One that can handle a high volume of email? | 22:19 |

| Ripp_ | My copy of google chrome froze...is there a way to force-quit it from the GUI? | 22:29 |
| Ripp_ | Gnome desktop | 22:29 |
| leachim6 | yeah | 22:29 |
| leachim6 | press alt+f2 and type the word "xkill" | 22:30 |
| leachim6 | then click on the frozen program | 22:30 |
| schristoforou | Ripp_, run xkill and click on the window | 22:30 |
| Ripp_ | thanks guys | 22:30 |
| BraveSaintStuart | Dr_Willis: I have the file saved onto my desktop... "file:///home/stuart/Desktop/Crossover-Pro-7.0.2.sh", so when I try to insert after "sh ./" or "sudo sh ./", it says "can't open" | 22:30 |
| Ripp_ | Sweet | 22:30 |
| Ripp_ | xkill owns. | 22:30 |
| schristoforou | BraveSaintStuart, do you have a terminal open? | 22:31 |
| damaltor | BraveSaintStuart: Dr_Willis is gone. but, to help you, remove the letters "file://" before the name: type "sh /home/stuart/Desktop/..." | 22:31 |
| schristoforou | BraveSaintStuart: If so, type the following: cd ~/Desktop | 22:31 |
| Ripp_ | thhaha, this chrome instance refuses to die..guess i'll terminal it | 22:32 |
| schristoforou | BraveSaintStuart: press enter, and you will enter that directory (your Desktop directory) | 22:32 |

| rapha | i just installed ubuntu on /dev/sda5 of a laptop that has windowx xp on /dev/sda2 and windows vista on /dev/sda3 but grub only has a grub entry named "windows vista" which actually boots windows xp on /dev/sda2 - how do i get the proper entries in there? | 22:34 |
| schristoforou | BraveSaintStuart: again, the last command is without the quotes | 22:34 |
| squircle | ZykoticK9: it reads 127.0.0.1 localhost summit summit.tpp.org, should I put localhost last? | 22:34 |
| pw-toxic | someone got a quick link where i can see whats new in 9.10? | 22:35 |
| Bookman_ | Nobody else has evolution just greying out (freezing) on them all the time? | 22:35 |
| ZykoticK9 | squircle, not sure the order is important - is summit the hostname you want to change it to? | 22:35 |
| BraveSaintStuart | schristoforou: after it attempts to uncompress the file it says: "'/home/stuart' must exist and belong to you in order for the installation to proceed." | 22:35 |
| BlueSherpa | I used "aptitude purge" on an application, but "aptitude search" shows that the application's configuration files (c) are still there - any way to purge them completely? I'm trying to do a completely fresh installation of the app | 22:35 |
| birdiee_ | I just downloaded mplayer but my xvid doesn't work I was told it had built in support for that, the audio works tho. why is this you think? | 22:35 |
| squircle | ZykoticK9: yeah, and when I hostname -F /etc/hostname, it stays as summit until a reboot. i'll try changing the order and rebooting | 22:35 |
| schristoforou | BraveSaintStuart: isn't /home/stuart your home directory? | 22:36 |
| === fern is now known as Guest49163 | ||
| BraveSaintStuart | schristoforou: It then says, "If instaling as root, you may need to log in as root, use 'su -' or 'sudo -H'. | 22:37 |
| BraveSaintStuart | schristoforou: as far as I know... I wouldn't know why it would be anything different | 22:37 |
| Bookman_ | Ok, thanks. | 22:37 |
| schristoforou | BraveSaintStuart: ah, ok, it needs the actual root to install it | 22:37 |
| BraveSaintStuart | schristoforou: what does that mean? | 22:37 |
| BlueSherpa | doesn't running "aptitude purge app" get rid of the app's configuration files? | 22:38 |
| === KindTwo is now known as KindOne | ||
| schristoforou | BraveSaintStuart: Try to do "sudo -s", it will then change the terminal user to root (admin) | 22:38 |
| dhaivat | I have one very simple question | 22:38 |
| dhaivat | what's the defualt root pass? | 22:38 |
| guntbert | BlueSherpa: with sudo, yes | 22:38 |
| b1ackcr0w | IT WORKED!!! | 22:38 |
| guntbert | !root | dhaivat | 22:38 |
| ubottu | dhaivat: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 22:38 |
| squircle | dhaivat: the root account, by default, is disabled | 22:38 |
| schristoforou | BraveSaintStuart: Then run "sh ./Crossover-Pro-7.0.2.sh" | 22:38 |
| BraveSaintStuart | schristoforou: And after I change it to the root? | 22:38 |
| BlueSherpa | guntbert: why would "aptitude search app" still show the configuration files as installed if I ran the command as root? | 22:39 |
| BraveSaintStuart | gotcha | 22:39 |
| BlueSherpa | guntbert: it lists the app with a c in the first column | 22:39 |
| schristoforou | BraveSaintStuart: Ie the same as before, without the sudo command | 22:39 |
| pw-toxic | i have just updated from 9.04 to 9.10 but my compiz effects disappared.. how can i reactivate them? | 22:39 |
| hetheeh | hello i am using karmic and ubuntu keeps freezing everything except the moise pointer, is anyone else getting this problem or have any suggestions? | 22:39 |
| squircle | ZykoticK9: I just changed the order of the entries; hostname returns summit, and hostname -f returns summit.tpp.org. cheers! | 22:39 |
| guntbert | BlueSherpa: that I don't know - but look if the fiels are *really* there | 22:39 |
| BraveSaintStuart | schristoforou: Same message came up | 22:39 |
| guntbert | *files | 22:39 |
| BlueSherpa | dhaivat: the default root pass is whatever you specify for it when you install the OS | 22:40 |
| soreau | pw-toxic: Sys>Prefs>Appearance>Visual Effects <-- set to anything other than None means compiz is running (and default WM) | 22:40 |
| guntbert | BlueSherpa: that is NOT true | 22:40 |
| BlueSherpa | guntbert: I tried manually removing the files, but aptitude search continues to report them as being present | 22:40 |
| guntbert | BlueSherpa: are they still there (in reality)? | 22:41 |
| pw-toxic | soreau, tried it.. it says, that they cant be activated.. i have used compiz for over a year now.. any idea why it doesnt work anymore? | 22:41 |
| schristoforou | BraveSaintStuart: Just to verify, does your terminal line show 'stuart@hostname:~$" or does it show "root@hostname:~$" ? | 22:42 |
| BlueSherpa | guntbert: any ideas? | 22:42 |
| soreau | pw-toxic: Come to #compiz and show us a pastebin link to the output of 'compiz &' from your terminal | 22:42 |
| b1ackcr0w | ikonia - it worked! | 22:42 |
| guntbert | BlueSherpa: yes: check if they are still there :-) | 22:42 |
| pw-toxic | soreau, thanks | 22:42 |
| [Ryto] | Hi All, question: Who every configured a FTP on Ubuntu? | 22:43 |
| guntbert | BlueSherpa: use ls | 22:43 |
| h4f | couldn't find any overclocking utility for Ubuntu. (except for graphic card ) any one know of such ? | 22:43 |
| [Ryto] | ehh.. thats bad english.. | 22:43 |
| BraveSaintStuart | schristoforou: it says "root@stuart-laptop: ~/Desktop#" | 22:43 |
| BlueSherpa | guntbert: they are, I then manually remove them, aptitude search continues to report the files being there after having purged the app | 22:43 |
| BlueSherpa | guntbert: the problem is that when I try to install the app again - it thinks the configuration files are there and doesn't install them - is there maybe a way to force the complete install? | 22:44 |
| b1ackcr0w | flannel: it worked | 22:44 |
| schristoforou | BraveSaintStuart: Try to run "./Crossover-Pro-7.0.2.sh" , without the sh in front of it | 22:44 |

| reactor16 | ok | 22:48 |
| Fizix | What's the difference between apt-get and aptitude? Is aptitude a whole different package manager entirely? | 22:48 |
| BraveSaintStuart | scristoforou: I totally would if I knew how the heck to do that... I really am a nub | 22:48 |
| schristoforou | BraveSaintStuart: In addition, if the .sh file would simply unzip the .deb files for installation, root should not be necessary...Did you try it after making it executable to run it a normal user? | 22:48 |
| BlueSherpa | Fizix: dunno - I thought they were interfaces to the same back end database, but I might be wrong | 22:49 |

| Guest38693 | it still gives me the same error | 23:21 |

| orenji | excuse me, how to add xsl to the catalog? | 23:21 |
| ZykoticK9 | ray9na, what is your question? you can right click on any of the icons as use "Add to favorites" to add thing -- to modify or create new you need to use the "Main Menu" editor | 23:22 |
| ray9na | Well, I have a little stand-alone app that technically is Win-only, but I'm running it in Wine. I was wondering how I could access it more easily than navigating to where it is in my files. | 23:23 |

| ZykoticK9 | ray9na, in a terminal (or Alt+F2) run alacarte - which is the menu editor, then you could add your wine app manually | 23:26 |
| Guest38693 | brb | 23:26 |

| nat2610 | Is there an apt-get command that tells which repository is picked to install a certain package ? | 23:33 |
| cheoni | I know my problem is stupid and not worth anyones time, but it is causing me alot of grief. I would really appreciate a bit of assistance with it. | 23:33 |
| jrib | cheoni: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) | 23:33 |
| dragon | There's no way in the latest installer to select none of the "Other options" once you hit F6. Is this a known issue? | 23:33 |
| orenji | @nat | 23:34 |
| orenji | sudo apt-cache search xxx | 23:34 |
| dragon | Is it a real issue? | 23:34 |
| jrib | dragon: check http://bugs.ubuntu.com to see if it's a known issue | 23:34 |
| ZykoticK9 | nat2610, you can usually get a hint, of where a package is coming from by running "apt-cache policy PACKAGE_FOO" | 23:34 |
| dragon | jrib: ok? | 23:34 |
| mabus | how do I remove a service from starting on boot, like rc-update in gentoo? is there something better than chmod -x the init script? | 23:34 |
| jrib | orenji, nat: no point in using sudo with apt-cache search | 23:34 |
| konbon | mabus: might wanna ask the gentoo guys | 23:34 |
| jrib | dragon: wasn't that your question? | 23:34 |
| zoggnoff | ubuntu is debian yeah | 23:35 |
| cheoni | How do I fix my problem with Adobe flash player? | 23:35 |
| jrib | cheoni: what is your problem with it... | 23:35 |
| konbon | cheoni: whats the problem? | 23:35 |
| dragon | jrib: that wasn't the answer I was expecting. I've been searching through bugs for a while, and I know I need to do that. | 23:35 |
| mabus | konbon: ... no, that's not what i asked | 23:35 |
| dragon | I'm still wondering whether it's a common issue... | 23:35 |
| ZykoticK9 | mabus, if you're running 9.10 it's now controlled by Upstart (which doesn't seem to be too well documented at this point) - there was a GUI app for doing this in 9.04 and less | 23:36 |
| cheoni | (E: The package adobe-flash plugin needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find and archive for it) keeps poping up. | 23:36 |
| mabus | ZykoticK9: I'm using server 8.10 | 23:36 |
| konbon | Upstart is the new ubuntu nighmare, imo :P | 23:36 |
| jrib | dragon: your question sounded like you wanted to know if it was known/common. You check the bug tracker for that. Seeing if the 10 people checking questions in this channel know about the problem isn't going to be as informative as seeing if a bug exists if all you care about is whether it is a known/common issue | 23:36 |
| ZykoticK9 | mabus, you might want to ask in #ubuntu-server then, good luck | 23:36 |
| djuggler | I've got mysql installed on ubuntu 8.04. If I install postgresql will I have conflicts or problems that I need to be aware of? | 23:37 |

| cheoni | jrib: I downloaded it from adobe's website. | 23:54 |
| Halitech | cheoni, so you basically don't have permission to install, sounds like your file might be fine but you need to install it properly | 23:54 |
| noah | sonne: i.e. mv ~/.mozilla ~/.mozilla.bak ? | 23:54 |
| jrib | cheoni: so download it again from there... | 23:54 |
| Metwo | ok | 23:54 |
| sonne | or -> HOME=/tmp firefox | 23:55 |
| sonne | i usually do that | 23:55 |
| noah | ah that's an idea | 23:55 |
| Metwo | who needs help | 23:55 |
| sonne | but be sure to close all firefox windows before you do that | 23:55 |
| mahngiel | ubuntu isn't recognizing my DVDs | 23:55 |
| cheoni | jrib: that is where I am downloading it from. | 23:55 |
| sonne | or it will just spawn another window | 23:55 |
| Metwo | mahngiel, Movie DVD? | 23:55 |
| noah | right | 23:55 |
| mahngiel | Metwo: indeed | 23:55 |
| noah | sonne: looks like it might be working | 23:55 |
| cheoni | halitech: how do I go about installing it properly/ | 23:55 |
| mahngiel | i've been looking for plugins but haven't found any | 23:55 |
| Halitech | cheoni, where did you download the file to? | 23:56 |
| sonne | noah, try the same things on both setups | 23:56 |
| sonne | determine if that is the problem | 23:56 |
| cheoni | halitech: thank you | 23:56 |
| coz_ | mahngiel, pluging for what? | 23:56 |
| noah | sonne: hmm actually just remembered zotero extension upgraded itself a little while ago too | 23:56 |
| VirusTB | mahngiel, plugin ?? | 23:56 |
| VirusTB | mahngiel, u have VLC installed? | 23:56 |
| sonne | i don't know what extension that is, but that can be a cause | 23:56 |
| mahngiel | coz_: idk, anything that may be missing. no i do not Virus, it won't mount | 23:56 |
| sonne | once you've determined that the problem is not within firefox itself, but within something in your .mozilla, you can start examining that | 23:57 |
| mahngiel | it's not that VLC won't mount, my DVD disk won't | 23:57 |
| coz_ | mahngiel, for which application again? | 23:57 |
| cheoni | Halitech: you asked the right question. Okay, now I am in the containing folder. how do go about unlocking the containing folder? | 23:57 |
| mahngiel | coz_: any really. movies just won't mount... | 23:57 |
| jrib | cheoni: you don't need to unlock anything. Anyway, ping me if you are stuck | 23:57 |
| ZykoticK9 | mahngiel, if you are using 9.10 and want video DVD support see http://paste.ubuntu.com/334837/ | 23:57 |

| Ronald | Winamp not Running | 23:57 |
| Halitech | cheoni, what do you mean unlocking the containing folder? | 23:58 |
| mahngiel | ZykoticK9: ty. | 23:58 |
| coz_ | mahngiel, oh for you video player ! which video player? vlc mplayer totem ? | 23:58 |
| mahngiel | coz_: mplayer is the only installed atm. but the problem is that the disk won't even mount. does a prgm need to be able to ID the disk before it'll mount? | 23:58 |
| coz_ | mahngiel, this is a dvd disk? | 23:58 |
| cheoni | halitech: it is showing a lock by the installer package. | 23:59 |
| coz_ | mahngiel, did you already install ubuntu-restricted-extras? | 23:59 |
| mahngiel | coz_: yap | 23:59 |
| noah | sonne: thanks for the suggestions, poking around now... disabling zotero didn't fix it | 23:59 |
| coz_ | mahngiel, did you already run sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh | 23:59 |
| Halitech | cheoni, can you open a terminal in the folder you are in currently? ie, right click - open terminal here? | 23:59 |
| mahngiel | i don't have ubuntu-desktop installed however | 23:59 |
| coz_ | mahngiel, oh? | 23:59 |
| mahngiel | coz: it was already installed | 23:59 |
