| IdleOne | spanky: no, install Pidgin for example and then setup your yahoo account in the account manager of Pidgin | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| IdleOne | spanky: you will then see your friends and be able to msg them | 00:00 |
| spanky | idleone....is pidgeon in synaptic or is there a better way like add-remove to get it? | 00:01 |
| IdleOne | spanky: what version of ubuntu do you have installed? | 00:01 |
| spanky | idleone 810 | 00:01 |

| hanosha | actionparsnip hi | 00:02 |
| ActionParsnip | hanosha: cool | 00:02 |
| IdleOne | !itunes | spanky | 00:02 |
| ubottu | spanky: itunes is not available on Linux, but there are many audio player alternatives (see !players). For Daap clients (sharing music with other iTunes clients on the network), install banshee | 00:02 |
| ActionParsnip | hanosha: now you can use 3d effects etc. They should be enabled by default | 00:03 |
| IdleOne | !cookie | ActionParsnip | 00:03 |
| ubottu | ActionParsnip: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! | 00:03 |
| ActionParsnip | IdleOne: thanks ;) | 00:03 |
| hanosha | ActionParsnip there thier a way to someone get in iinsade my liunx ? | 00:03 |

| ActionParsnip | hanosha: sudo apt-get install wine | 00:05 |
| ActionParsnip | hanosha: why do you need wine? | 00:05 |
| hanosha | ActionParsnip its old verison :S | 00:05 |
| NeoNexus | does anyone know if there is a driver for ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV250 [Mobility FireGL 9000] (rev 01) to enable visual effects? | 00:05 |

| DeSian | ActionParsnip, who use wine under linux, can never be linux user, that is my experience as linux/gnu user since 5 years :) | 00:06 |
| hanosha | ActionParsnip in liunx what kind of exe or dll work ? | 00:06 |
| hanosha | ActionParsnip i mean like the exe and bat in windows | 00:07 |
| DeSian | hanosha, use the alternative or compile it from source or use available package for what you want to do | 00:08 |
| Coded1 | im finding huge amount of errors in dmesg when the video driver loads and when ever I run gl apps; "glxinfo:2151 freeing invalid memtype HHHHHHH-HHHHHHHH | 00:08 |
| ActionParsnip | hanosha: yes but what do you plan to run? There are tonnes of native alternatives | 00:08 |
| zaxecivobuny | ActionParsnip: I was here earlier asking about video drivers, and you directed me to help.ubuntu.com but all of the instructions there involved first enabling the restricted drivers in the driver manager, but my driver manager did not list any video drivers -- only drivers from my wireless card -- do you have any other advice? | 00:08 |
| DeSian | hanosha, dep-installed is installed by default | 00:08 |
| VirusTB | ActionParsnip, hey i managed to get rid of the men test with " sudo apt-get --purge remove memtest86+" | 00:08 |
| Coded1 | tried google but it seems to refer to a closed bug from 2.6.28 | 00:08 |
| ActionParsnip | DeSian: i have to have it to run my CCNA material | 00:08 |
| ActionParsnip | VirusTB: cool | 00:08 |
| VirusTB | but how do I edit the tittle of my Windows option? | 00:08 |
| hanosha | ActionParsnip so just the dep work in liunx or ubuntu ? | 00:08 |
| ActionParsnip | VirusTB: when you change the grub files, you must run: sudo update-grub | 00:09 |
| Coded1 | but im running the latest kernel right now | 00:09 |
| VirusTB | ActionParsnip, ah ok lett me do that | 00:09 |
| DeSian | hanosha, deb is debian package | 00:09 |
| hanosha | ActionParsnip bcz if i need to download something like bat or exe its not gonna work ? | 00:09 |
| DeSian | ! tell hanosha about debian package | 00:09 |
| ActionParsnip | hanosha: well you won't. Use linux stuff instead | 00:09 |
| Coded1 | the card is a radeon 9250 w/ 128MB using open source drivers | 00:09 |
| ActionParsnip | hanosha: you are installing soemthing you will mostly not need | 00:09 |
| crashdata | i just installed bf2 on my linux box with wine and it worked pretty good | 00:10 |
| hanosha | ActionParsnip yea u mean the wine ? | 00:10 |
| ActionParsnip | hanosha: of course, what else??? We've ben discussing wine the last 5 mins | 00:10 |
| DeSian | hanosha, or compile it from source if you dont have the .deb package | 00:10 |
| ActionParsnip | hanosha: hence why I am asking - Why do you want wine??? | 00:10 |
| crashdata | ActionParsnip who cares why he want wine | 00:10 |
| hanosha | ActionParsnip i am used to windows 10 year in windows :S | 00:11 |
| crashdata | we wants to install wine give him the direction on how to install wine | 00:11 |
| IdleOne | crashdata: it matters if there is a easier solution | 00:11 |
| ActionParsnip | hanosha: so? | 00:11 |
| hanosha | ActionParsnip i will use the wine untill i be good in liunx u know | 00:11 |
| DeSian | crashdata, is not good idea | 00:11 |
| crashdata | hanosha: what are u going to install? not all apps are gonna be support by wien | 00:11 |
| crashdata | understand. | 00:12 |
| ActionParsnip | hanosha: there are Linux alternatives for nearly every app in windows | 00:12 |
| demonspork | Coded1, what all have you been told so far about the 9250? because I have never been able to use that card in linux, in fact I had kernel panics just putting one of those cards into a system and trying to use them with VGA drivers | 00:12 |
| hanosha | ActionParsnip icq photoshop | 00:12 |
| ActionParsnip | hanosha: they will run more efficiently and more reliably than anything in wine | 00:12 |
| DeSian | hanosha, use pidgin...etc for ICQ and GIMP inkscape ...etc instead | 00:12 |
| ye | hi - can any1 tell me how to delete the entire text in a file read by nano?? | 00:12 |
| hanosha | ActionParsnip what GIMP ? | 00:12 |
| DeSian | ! tell hanosha about gimp | 00:13 |
| hanosha | ActionParsnip Pidgin dont send sms :S | 00:13 |
| ubottu | hanosha, please see my private message | 00:13 |
| ActionParsnip | hanosha: icq can be configured in pidgin. icq does not run in wnie | 00:13 |
| DeSian | hanosha, is alot of apps just google it | 00:13 |
| Aethelred | How do I use OpenType fonts in Ubuntu (8.10, amd-64) ? | 00:13 |
| ActionParsnip | hanosha: i told you this earlier | 00:13 |
| Coded1 | demonspork, it actually worked ok in previous versions of ubuntu (8.10,9.04) but now I get glxgears @ 490fps @ 1024x768 | 00:13 |
| jrib | ye: you wouldn't use nano for that really | 00:13 |
| hanosha | ActionParsnip :S so its not gonna work :S in wine too :S | 00:13 |
| Coded1 | but most gl apps run like crap @ 4fps | 00:14 |
| hanosha | ActionParsnip dmt i need voobys too :S | 00:14 |
| ActionParsnip | hanosha: yes, icq doesnt run | 00:14 |
| Coded1 | like tuxracer et al | 00:14 |
| DeSian | Aethelred, mv OpenType fonts to ~/.fonts | 00:14 |
| hanosha | ActionParsnip what work ? | 00:14 |
| ActionParsnip | hanosha: can you QUIT with the :S thing | 00:14 |
| con-man | why can't I play DVDs? It says it cannot read from the device, yet gnome says I have entered to a video dvd and asks what app to run it with. VLC and Movie Player give the same error | 00:14 |
| hanosha | ActionParsnip what work in wine then ? | 00:14 |
| ActionParsnip | hanosha: I'll tell you once more. The windows program called ICQ does NOT run using wine | 00:14 |
| Coded1 | demonspork, apparently the closed drivers do not include the r200-R300 family of cards so only the OSS drivers are availible | 00:15 |
| ye | what would i use then | 00:15 |
| hanosha | ActionParsnip i got it :S | 00:15 |
| steev | hanosha: just use Pidgin to connect to ICQ | 00:15 |
| ActionParsnip | hanosha: took me telling you 5 times but we got there | 00:15 |
| Aethelred | DeSian: I'd rather make them available to the system (in /usr/share/fonts), but I'm not sure if I should put them in /truetype/, /type1/, or create an /opentype/ directory. | 00:15 |
| hanosha | ActionParsnip can't :S | 00:15 |
| hanosha | ActionParsnip i tried it :S | 00:15 |
| con-man | halp | 00:15 |
| jrib | ye: well if you want to use bash to delete the contents of a file (THERE IS NO UNDO), you may do: :> /path/to/file | 00:15 |
| demonspork | Coded1, then you got further than I ever did, because I gave up when I realized that the intel integrated graphics for the computers in question was significantly more powerful than the 9250 | 00:15 |
| ActionParsnip | hanosha: if you type :S again i'm going to block you | 00:15 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | needs less engrish in here... | 00:15 |
| hanosha | why ? | 00:15 |
| con-man | does I need a package to read DVDs | 00:15 |
| hanosha | ActionParsnip ??? | 00:16 |
| DeSian | Aethelred, usr/shar/fonts is for all users and as root have you to done it | 00:16 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | hanosha, what is your native language? | 00:16 |
| hanosha | ActionParsnip why | 00:16 |
| ActionParsnip | hanosha: its the most redundant and infuriating thing ever | 00:16 |
| goose | I need to confirm a ban I put in place on my apache2 server is working, is there a way I can "spoof" an IP address for the purpose of assuring the ban is functioning? | 00:16 |
| DeSian | just move your fonts in ~/.fonts | 00:16 |
| goose | or is that too "suspicious"? | 00:16 |
| ActionParsnip | hanosha: and ive asked you twice nicely | 00:16 |
| IdleOne | SpaceGhostC2C: this is an international channel, not everybody speaks english as perfect as you do :) | 00:16 |

| hanosha | ActionParsnip i native ? | 00:16 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | IdleOne, good point, but maybe he could look in his native language? | 00:16 |
| Coded1 | demonspork, i dunno its not a great card but should be able to handle tuxracer @ 800x600 mild settings | 00:16 |
| ElectRo` | is anyone else having problems install 2.6.32 kernel | 00:16 |
| hanosha | ActionParsnip okay i am not gonna put the thing u told me | 00:16 |
| DeSian | Aethelred, restart apps and it worked | 00:16 |
| ActionParsnip | hanosha: native means an actual linux app, wine apps are windows apps and are therefore not native | 00:17 |
| * SpaceGhostC2C thinks ActionParsnip is a saint. | 00:17 | |
| SpaceGhostC2C | !cookie | ActionParsnip | 00:17 |
| ubottu | ActionParsnip: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! | 00:17 |
| hanosha | ActionParsnip okay i know that | 00:17 |
| ActionParsnip | SpaceGhostC2C: its also why i eat trolls for breakfast ;) | 00:17 |
| con-man | demonspork, thanks sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh got it running | 00:17 |
| * Aethelred thinks SpaceGhostC2C is a washed-up talk show host who never recovered from the Chambrain. | 00:17 | |
| hanosha | ActionParsnip i got it after 10 times ;) | 00:17 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | ActionParsnip, I'm rather fond of children for a light brunch myself. What exactly is s/he trying to do? | 00:17 |

| LjL | uh, now people can't even use the smileys they feel like? | 00:23 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | hanosha, it's really annoying. If you want to use wine a lot, I suggest you use windows for your windows apps and linux for everything rlse. | 00:23 |

| ActionParsnip | OttifantSir: its in ccsm as a compatibility feature, check its enabled | 00:30 |
| steev | Guest39870: it depends on the applicantion more than anything, for a package application, /opt, for one you compile yourself, /usr/local is the most common, although you can do /usr if you know what you are doing and it won't interfere with any apps that are already installed | 00:30 |

| jjrev | hey, so I have an HD-PVR from Hauppauge and it was working fine under a fresh install of Karmic, but after the Kernel updates, I can't see my /dev/video0 (or any other video device)... ideas? | 00:36 |
| Guest37561 | \msg srini | 00:36 |
| gh0st | is there an easy way to make my custom ubuntu-server live DVD? i have a server where the boot HDD died, and i need it to serve files etc. i need an environment were i can get right down to the nitty gritty, and even write static ip adress. perhaps even do a "fake" install using VBOX, then somehow taking that .VDI and converting it to a boot-able image. Any input on this would be absolutely amazing! | 00:36 |

| Coded1 | if he was asking how to find a command i can see but if he wants me to hack his neighbours wifi ... | 01:09 |
| jeffreyf | TheSlacker...what kind of word list. WPA2 should be a passphrase that contains numbers if at all possible. A passphrase can be something like "The La2y d0g jump3d 0v3r the Wall" | 01:09 |
| === clueless is now known as Guest63500 | ||
| SpaceGhostC2C | Coded1, fair enough. Maybe try sending him along with some keywords as well. | 01:09 |
| lstarnes | goncalo182: there might be a partition editor available for windows 7 that can delete and resize partitions | 01:09 |
| goncalo182 | ok | 01:09 |
| magdalena | right want to hack his wifi | 01:10 |
| GodfatherofEire | Exactly how would I create a shell script to be run at log in? | 01:10 |
| Coded1 | cool, try googling "wpalist.txt" it will find you a nice beefy 500mb one | 01:10 |
| TheSlacker | Is there a way to crack WPA2 using your GPU, that way I could brute force. I googled this but couldnt find a utility | 01:10 |
| EagleScreen | GodfatherofEire: do u mean X login? | 01:10 |
| Coded1 | TheSlacker, you can use your gpu to create rainbow tables but not hack directly | 01:11 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | magdalena, if you're trying to hack someone else's wireless, that's entirely illegal. Although if you're testing security on your own wireless, that's different. | 01:11 |
| GodfatherofEire | EagleScreen, after actually being authenticated, not at the login screen. | 01:11 |
| TheSlacker | i am testing security at home, im trying to prove to myself that i am secure | 01:11 |
| Coded1 | TheSlacker, http://project-rainbowcrack.com/ | 01:12 |
| magdalena | of corse slacker | 01:12 |
| TheSlacker | thank you coded | 01:12 |
| Coded1 | np | 01:12 |
| magdalena | coded1 why people is hapy when detroing somethink? | 01:13 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | TheSlacker, what tools do you have? Are you trying this with just software? Do you have a arp-poison injection usb dongle? | 01:13 |
| EagleScreen | GodfatherofEire: if you use Gnome, there is a tool to add scripts or applications to be ran at starting session, it is in System -> Preferences -> Session? | 01:13 |
| rapt0r | bucket bucket | 01:13 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | magdalena, it's all about the knowledge. | 01:13 |
| GodfatherofEire | EagleScreen, I've tried that, doesnt quite work | 01:13 |
| xidarian | anyone here know much about lvm, i need ot figure out exactly how much free space is in my vg so i can extend my lv to fill it | 01:13 |
| jeffreyf | TheSlacker The longer the passPHRASE and the more numerics sprinkled into the phrase, the more secure you would be from brute force. Brute force assumes that words are used...don't use words, us mnemonics consisting of alpha numerics. | 01:13 |
| TheSlacker | yes, i have a 4 way handshake in a cap file. I used aircrack but i do not have a decent enough word list | 01:13 |
| Coded1 | magdalena, how do you know they are destroying something? just because you give some one a hammer does not mean they are going to break something ;) | 01:13 |
| xidarian | or is there a way to just tell it to use all available | 01:14 |
| EagleScreen | GodfatherofEire: is your script executable? (excution permissions) | 01:14 |
| LjL | jeffreyf: actually, brute forcing doesn't assume that. | 01:14 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | Coded1, Awesome analogy. | 01:14 |
| LjL | if it assumes that, then it's not brute forcing but a targeted attack. | 01:14 |
| Coded1 | ;) | 01:14 |
| FernandoF | hello | 01:14 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | Coded1, may I borrow it? | 01:14 |
| GodfatherofEire | EagleScreen, what I set it to execute was a hard link to a program, specifically conky. | 01:14 |
| magdalena | yes for example you can use the hamer as art object | 01:14 |
| jeffreyf | LjL...that would be dictionary hack...you are right...brute force will use an ever expanding string | 01:15 |

| JoeSomebody | i'll settle for mounted first :) | 01:21 |
| sunrex | Can people see me type? | 01:21 |

| con6 | magdalena: what is it? | 01:24 |
| EagleScreen | !ask | magdalena | 01:24 |
| ubottu | magdalena: 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. :-) | 01:24 |
| GodfatherofEire | Also, anybody know how to set up a program to make sure that its persistent (opens again on closing)? | 01:24 |
| mdwright | JoeSomebody: try this tutorial. it might not be your exact situation, but it could help http://www.smorgasbord.net/how-to-install-second-hard-drive-in-ubuntu-linux/ | 01:24 |
| magdalena | my lcd is incorect display | 01:24 |
| Scunizi | GodfatherofEire: you mean opens again on reboot? list it in sessions or services.. forgot which one. | 01:25 |
| SirMoo | Alright, so I need to help getting sound on Ubuntu Studio ( Latest addition ). I had it for a while but it's suddenly gone away. Pulse Audio says it detects sound, but nothing is coming out of my laptop speakers. Laptop is Gateway MX8738 and I'm pretty sure the sound is STAC9250... | 01:25 |
| JoeSomebody | ok thx guys | 01:25 |
| testusera | magdalena, try dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ? | 01:25 |
| chilli0 | HI , i updated to 3.1 and my vm doesnt work it stalls here http://imagebin.ca/view/pandBq4.html | 01:25 |
| GodfatherofEire | Scunizi, no, I mean like when you close it, it'll open up again (like gnome-panel) | 01:25 |
| igge | GodfatherofEire: hm.. you don't mean on login? | 01:25 |
| My-Computer | on xubuntu how do i get the windows key to bring up the main menu | 01:25 |
| magdalena | blue color hawe monocolor area and flashing | 01:25 |
| Scunizi | GodfatherofEire: so it never really closes.. if forced close it just reopens? | 01:26 |
| GodfatherofEire | Scunizi, something like that | 01:26 |
| igge | GodfatherofEire: there is System > Preferences > Startup Programs ... | 01:26 |
| GodfatherofEire | igge, not quite what I mean | 01:26 |
| [1]joes7 | Wubi installer takes too long | 01:26 |
| igge | ooo k.. | 01:26 |
| Scunizi | GodfatherofEire: good question.. I've no idea.. | 01:26 |
| magdalena | its only specyfic for blue color | 01:26 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | [1]joes7, I'm sorry... | 01:26 |
| [1]joes7 | Can someone help me? | 01:26 |
| GodfatherofEire | igge, I mean an app that is forced to stay open, and if killed, will just start up again | 01:26 |
| FernandoF | sometimes instead of video I get black screen how can change that? | 01:27 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | GodfatherofEire, why exactly would you want that? | 01:27 |
| magdalena | testusera i ask you | 01:27 |
| GodfatherofEire | SpaceGhostC2C, for 3 things, docky, GNOME Do and Conky | 01:27 |
| magdalena | its a hardware problem or software problem? | 01:27 |
| [1]joes7 | Dunno | 01:28 |
| [1]joes7 | Wubi installer takes too long when downloading the ubuntu iso | 01:28 |
| testusera | magdalena, it could be either, what graphics card do you have | 01:28 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | I think you should want a script to run in cron to check if your apps are running, and if they aren't, then start them. | 01:28 |
| igge | GodfatherofEire: well.. maybe you could write some script to relaunch the app.. | 01:28 |
| [1]joes7 | and i get a Temp error | 01:28 |
| My-Computer | on xubuntu how do i get the windows key to bring up the main menu | 01:28 |
| magdalena | ati x2300 | 01:28 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | [1]joes7, I hear all the pros are burning the ubuntu iso to a cd and installing it from there. But what do I know? | 01:28 |
| GodfatherofEire | igge, then I'd have to run the script once it shut down, i need it automated | 01:28 |
| shintai | My-Computer, which gui are you using. | 01:28 |
| [1]joes7 | I get a "Temp" error during wubi installer | 01:28 |
| My-Computer | 904 | 01:29 |
| [1]joes7 | Is there a faster wubi installer? | 01:29 |
| testusera | Hello, i have Ubuntu 9.10; when i press TAB on keyboard or CTRL +C to copy or CTRL + V, my touchpad mouse (laptop) sticks for about 0.3 miliseconds, then goes back to normal, anyone? its a hp with synaptic i believe, is there a better driver? | 01:29 |
| GodfatherofEire | and SpaceGhostC2C wouldnt that only check once in a period of time? | 01:29 |
| testusera | [1]joes7, download and burn to dvd. | 01:29 |
| igge | GodfatherofEire: i mean.. write a script that starts the program, then waits for the program to finish and when it does relaunch it | 01:29 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | GodfatherofEire, you can have it check every second if you want. | 01:29 |
| Scunizi | [1]joes7: nope.. you might consider installing virtualbox and then ubuntu inside that as a vm.. less problemmatic | 01:29 |
| [1]joes7 | how do i boot the dvd afterwards | 01:29 |
| GodfatherofEire | SpaceGhostC2C, wouldnt that be a tad resource intensive though? | 01:29 |
| SirMoo | I'll ask again... ._. | 01:29 |
| magdalena | testusera is a radeon x2300 | 01:29 |
| SirMoo | Alright, so I need to help getting sound on Ubuntu Studio ( Latest addition ). I had it for a while but it's suddenly gone away. Pulse Audio says it detects sound, but nothing is coming out of my laptop speakers. Laptop is Gateway MX8738 and I'm pretty sure the sound is STAC9250... | 01:30 |
| FernandoF | HELP ! sometimes I can not see videos sent to me ! I get a black screen ...what can I make? | 01:30 |
| mezquitale | i'm going to install netbook remix, is there an option to encrypt your "home" partition? | 01:30 |
| GodfatherofEire | SirMoo, have you tried switching it to use ALSA? | 01:30 |
| My-Computer | im on xubuntu 904 on xubuntu how do i get the windows key to bring up the main menu | 01:30 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | GodfatherofEire, well it's a trade of what you want and what you have to do. Personally? I'd write a script to run at startup that would start your apps and if any should close it would relaunch them. | 01:30 |
| testusera | magdalena, what is the output of "lspci |grep VGA" | 01:30 |
| sweet_sarah_jane | just got ubuntu on my computer... trying to get yahoo messenger... not sure if i can or how... any suggestions anyone? | 01:30 |
| SirMoo | GodfatherofEire; Want to link me to a correct guide? Because I though I had done that after folllowing a dozen or so articles. | 01:31 |
| [1]joes7 | can i install xubuntu alternater iso on virtual box? | 01:31 |
| steev | sweet_sarah_jane: use Pidgin | 01:31 |
| testusera | sweet_sarah_jane, try Empathy IM | 01:31 |
| testusera | pidgin is bug and exploit riddled | 01:31 |
| GodfatherofEire | SirMoo, cant think of any | 01:31 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | !empathy | sweet_sarah_jane | 01:31 |
| ubottu | sweet_sarah_jane: Empathy is an instant messaging and video chat client for GNOME. In !karmic, Empathy will replace Pidgin as the default IM client. | 01:31 |
| GodfatherofEire | Ugh, empathy | 01:31 |
| talon_ | how can i share my internet connection over wireless in 9.10? | 01:31 |
| Scunizi | sweet_sarah_jane: pidgin is one that might be working now.. yahoo did something in the last year that sort of knocked out a lot of IM programs | 01:31 |
| mereo | testusera, hmm? | 01:31 |
| shintai | My-Computer, http://www.addictivetips.com/ubuntu-linux-tips/launch-application-menu-in-ubuntu-with-windows-key/ | 01:31 |
| SirMoo | Then how would I switch it over? | 01:31 |
| Guest74184 | hi | 01:31 |

| GodfatherofEire | It's not well developed enough yet | 01:32 |
| FernandoF | testusera do you have a clue how can i solve the problem of black screen instaed of videos? | 01:32 |
| [1]joes7 | !wubi | 01:32 |
| ubottu | Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. | 01:32 |
| mereo | pidgin in my opinion, is MUCH better than empathy | 01:32 |
| GodfatherofEire | And SirMoo, I cant think of any guide for switching it over | 01:32 |
| igge | mereo: why? | 01:32 |
| mereo | and emesene is becoming good as an MSN only client | 01:32 |
| testusera | FernandoF, what videos? | 01:32 |
| SirMoo | Want to list me the steps GodfatherofEire? =D | 01:32 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | mereo: she asked for a yahoo client. | 01:32 |
| sweet_sarah_jane | tried pidgin, couldn't get very far, I'm new at this... | 01:32 |

| GodfatherofEire | SirMoo, I havent had any problems with it on Karmic so on this I'm not sure | 01:33 |
| SirMoo | I'm 99% sure it's installed. | 01:33 |
| mereo | oh... it's just in my opinion, empathy is just too plain | 01:33 |
| SirMoo | Both of 'em... | 01:33 |
| mereo | I like to customize my client | 01:33 |
| mezquitale | empathy is now the default messenger on ubuntu | 01:33 |
| FernandoF | testusera for example one from http://www.gamaniak.com | 01:33 |
| Scunizi | [1]joes7: sure | 01:33 |

| GodfatherofEire | testusera, well, look at the changelogs for Ubuntu's security updates | 01:34 |
| FernandoF | testusera but there are others | 01:34 |
| mereo | come on! every programs have security risks | 01:34 |
| FernandoF | testusera yes youtube woks with some videos | 01:34 |
| testusera | something thats used a lot arguably generates more bugs to the sruface but i remember a particularily unresponsive pidgin team on insecure.org... | 01:34 |
| mereo | and if you look closely, they are fixex | 01:34 |
| testusera | FernandoF, some videos? not all? | 01:35 |
| mereo | and the list is from 2004 to 2009, so come on! | 01:35 |
| talon_ | when i choose to create a new wireless network, wlan0 does not show up in ifconfig | 01:35 |
| FernandoF | testusera no some videos do not | 01:36 |
| testusera | thats very strange. | 01:36 |
| testusera | lol | 01:36 |
| testusera | are you using firefox with default add-ins? | 01:36 |
| testusera | or did you install your own | 01:36 |
| FernandoF | yes | 01:36 |
| FernandoF | i did even try to install extra add ins | 01:37 |
| FernandoF | testusera http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OO7H6vHn5DM&feature=channel is an example that just failed | 01:37 |
| testusera | hmm, well i am not sure but it could be either flash player or your video drivers, i recommend trying to update both and trying again | 01:37 |
| GodfatherofEire | Also, anybody know why compiz is messing up my desktop icons (hiding them until hovered over)? | 01:37 |
| FernandoF | testusera it works fine with some but not others | 01:38 |
| FernandoF | testusera thx! I tried almost all and i get mad now | 01:38 |
| testusera | FernandoF, i haven't troubleshot that problem before so unfortunately i don't know :( | 01:38 |
| FernandoF | testusera thx anyway | 01:38 |
| testusera | i hate graphics problems | 01:38 |
| testusera | more bother than its worth hehe | 01:38 |

| mezquitale | here is a kicker, redmond can only see 140 gigs on my netbook that was delivered yesterday, BIOS says the HD is 160 gigs, I still cant boot up with my USB stick though with unr, can I use a CD to install unr using a usb cd rom? | 01:40 |
| testusera | Roasted, i think you may only need to drag the side of the window if memory services me correctly it is only hidden | 01:40 |
| SnakDoc | mezquitale: could have recovery partation on it | 01:40 |
| Roasted | testusera - look at you being a genius :P thanks bro | 01:41 |
| testusera | np | 01:41 |
| Roasted | itw as there earlier and now - nadda, I was like whaaat? | 01:41 |
| shintai | Roasted, go to Setting < Preferences ad you can change it there as well. | 01:41 |
| mezquitale | SnakDoc, if i want to install unr is it safe to use gparted to resize the hard drive or will I have to completely wipe the hard drive first and then install redmond and then unr? | 01:41 |
| shintai | under the User List area. | 01:42 |
| testusera | mezquitale, depends on what filesystem is utilized | 01:42 |
| testusera | check gparted websites for supported growing | 01:42 |

| mezquitale | SnakDoc, this is funny, there's 3 primary partitions on the hard drive that has xp installed, the last partition is the restore partition, the first partition is fat16 labeled "dellutility", the second partition has the OS partition using ntfs, im going to resize the OS partition and see what happens | 01:47 |

| Landon | Bam_Bam: yeah, I have it set up on my old server, but I don';t remember at all how that worked out | 02:02 |
| mezquitale | jub369, there are 2 ways of doing it, I would not recommend the first one, 1. you could start virtual box with sudo on a terminal or 2. you can figure out how to create an image on your home folder or any folder that you have permission, just remember you have to have enough space on it, if you click on "Properties" on virtualbox you should be able to figure it out | 02:02 |

| mezquitale | nas, what do you mean "icons"? are you talking about links to folders? | 02:03 |
| mr_engineer | Roasted, you can go to the #samba channel though | 02:03 |
| testusera | arooni-mobile, you could uninstall ntpd i don't know if that would break your ntp sync or something though | 02:04 |
| lstarnes | Landon: I also use lighttpd so I sometimes have the sane issue | 02:04 |
| mr_engineer | Roasted, I wouldn't know about webmin | 02:04 |
| Landon | lstarnes: I was thinking about that, but on my other server it was installed via apt-get | 02:04 |

| Roasted | mr_engineer - so when the user hits my server, they HAVE to log in. At that point, if they log in as Curt, then Curt can only get to the shares that hes listed as "valid user" on. Whcih is "Curt" and "Public", as all users are. Tyler/Public, Pam/Public, etc. | 02:16 |

| mr_engineer | Roasted, exactly | 02:19 |
| kitche | JerVA: xfce uses less memory then gnome really so it runs good on 512 mb | 02:19 |
| mr_engineer | well, one of the beautiful characteristics of linux | 02:19 |
| Roasted | mr_engineer - not to open a can of worms here, but I tried out gnome shell (gnome 3.0) that gnome is coming out with in a few months. I thought it was HORRIBLE. I used gnome for 5 years, very faithful user here. I was so disgusted with it I tried out KDE and I got hooked. | 02:20 |

| mr_engineer | Roasted, yes | 02:31 |
| mr_engineer | Roasted, I'm editing the conf file myself this time.. I've always used configuration editors (gui) | 02:31 |
| mr_engineer | lol at 37th ban | 02:31 |
| davep | booom. grub exploded. | 02:32 |
| Roasted | mr_engineer - nothing wrong with using a GUI man. I use a GUI. The important thing is if you use a GUI, after you make changes, read the smb.conf and understand what the GUI was doing to make the changes happen. Its an interesting and practical way to learn how to edit the smb.conf manually. | 02:32 |
| Guest88261 | me siento alegre esto me motivara mas a aprender y dominar el ingles gracias | 02:32 |
| mr_engineer | Roasted, aye, I've used guis all my life, but they don't seem to be working haha | 02:33 |
| mr_engineer | the samba ones | 02:33 |
| lolololol | i cant get wireless working on ubuntu | 02:33 |
| davep | WTF | 02:33 |
| davep | i went back to the partition menu to check which disk it was | 02:33 |
| davep | now, grub wont let me install because it claims i havent partitioned the disks | 02:33 |
| davep | how can i install it manually? | 02:34 |
| Roasted | mr_engineer - Ive used several samba guis, but theres only 2 I like. | 02:34 |
| Roasted | mr_engineer - "samba" in add/remove (system-config-samba in synaptic) is pretty solid, but VERY basic. But its good for a user with basic needs. | 02:34 |
| timberwolf90 | ben64: what should I look for in the list from "lspci -v" | 02:35 |
| Roasted | mr_engineer - Ive been using webmin lately, which gives you a lot more features. It pretty much has an ACL built in so you can allow/deny certain users to certain things. | 02:35 |
| plouffe | my problem: play mplayer first then firefox flash video, then close video => firefox freezes ;; play flash video first, then mplayer => mplayer won't play audio | 02:35 |
| davep | i'd partition again, but the installer makes no distinction between "partitioning" and "formatting". formatting again would mean i would have to install everything again. | 02:35 |
| davep | i thought expert mode would be expert mode. | 02:35 |
| === reesefrancis_ is now known as reesefrancis | ||
| mr_engineer | Roasted, yeah, I think I've used the samba package to, but I don't know.. some are too basic, some are too complex.. There is stuff I'd rather not know when I use an advanced administrator | 02:36 |
| reesefrancis | how can i set the permissions to read of one group of users? chmod g+r and then? | 02:36 |
| sixtila | how can i make my internal mic work? | 02:36 |
| Roasted | mr_engineer - I hear that. The samba tool is basic, but nice. I like the webmin gui cause I like playing around with a lot of stuff I probably shouldnt. However, the layout is very simple to use. | 02:37 |
| Roasted | mr_engineer - I also used gadmin samba, which I was NOT a fan of. | 02:37 |

| Oilut | leaf-sheep: i will try to restart.... one minute | 03:09 |
| Oilut | alankila: it sais not a dynamic executable | 03:10 |
| alankila | Hmm. I see. | 03:10 |
| Oilut | the file is in /home/tulio/programas and i am running the commands from there | 03:10 |
| alankila | what exactly does it claim it to be: "file AdobeAIRInstaller.bin", then? | 03:10 |
| alankila | it was a dynamic executable here | 03:10 |
| Oilut | alankila: that is all it sais | 03:11 |
| alankila | installed fine, but I don't think it actually worked. At least the uninstaller failed. | 03:11 |
| alankila | Oilut: no. Execute "file AdobeAIRInstaller.bin". | 03:11 |
| Oilut | alankila: ok | 03:11 |
| Quan-Time | anyone got a laptop and a trackpad ? i cant for the life of me get gsynaptics working | 03:11 |
| Oilut | AdobeAIRInstaller.bin: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.2.5, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped | 03:11 |
| Oilut | alankila: 32BIT DAMN! | 03:12 |
| alankila | okay, so it's a 32-bit executable and you're on 64-bit system. That's why ldd didn't recognize it for you, I guess. It's stupid in that way. | 03:12 |
| alankila | perhaps you are missing something like ia32-libs package? | 03:13 |
| Oilut | I have to find a installer for 64bits right? but i dont think it has darn it | 03:13 |
| didi | Does someone runs xmonad at Karmic? Here it doesn't run. | 03:13 |
| Oilut | alankila: how do i get the packages necessary? | 03:13 |
| alankila | Oilut: you're jumping to conclusions. I just installed the 32-bit AIR thingy on my 64-bit system. It installed, at the very least. But I don't think it quite worked. | 03:13 |
| trism | Oilut: perhaps try http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/408/kb408084.html#Installing_AIR_1.5_on_64-bit_Ubuntu_7.10__8.04_and_9.04 | 03:13 |
| davep | trying lilo. | 03:13 |
| JerVA | I just changed ubuntu to xubuntu - I have issue with wine - said it is broken package | 03:14 |
| Oilut | trism: thanks | 03:14 |
| davep | Fatal: raid_setup: stat("/dev/sda") | 03:14 |
| davep | there is no raid. | 03:14 |
| davep | what does this mean? | 03:14 |
| JerVA | I did look in synpatic package manager but it doesn't do anything - I did uninstall/install | 03:14 |
| Oilut | alankila: try to install this http://www.synquest.com.br/download/release/Synquest.air | 03:14 |
| alankila | yeah I saw that complain about libadobecertstore.so | 03:14 |
| JerVA | !wine | 03:15 |
| ubottu | WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu | 03:15 |
| alankila | Oilut: nah, it didn't work. But that page you were given contains a command that looks like it's probably useful. | 03:15 |
| alankila | anyway, I already uninstalled the thing. | 03:15 |
| Sierradump | Can anyone help me figure out to access a USB stick from terminal? I need to copy some files from the USB Stick to my Ubuntu home directory. Thank you. | 03:15 |
| didi | !xmonad | 03:15 |
| maco | !info xmonad | did | 03:15 |
| ubottu | did: xmonad (source: xmonad): A lightweight X11 window manager. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.8.1-5 (karmic), package size 440 kB, installed size 1560 kB | 03:15 |
| maco | didi ^ | 03:15 |
| alankila | installing applications in linux is such a heap-of-fun. :D | 03:15 |
| AegNuddel | hmm I have ubuntu and apparently the gnome theme. I need to do one of three things. Either shrink my desktop items (everything!), change my virtual resolution, or put scroll bars on the windows so I can see the bottoms...Can anyone help me? | 03:16 |
| Scunizi | Sierradump: type in terminal.. cd /media .. then type .. ls to get a directory listing.. one of those will be your usb stick.. typicaly.. then just cd <name> | 03:16 |
| alankila | especially if they aren't done precisely as the open-source community wants them done. *sigh* | 03:16 |
| AegNuddel | Scrollbars could be on the individual applications or desktop itself. | 03:16 |
| didi | maco: It is not running here. It just hang at the gdm screen. :-/ | 03:16 |
| Sierradump | Scunizi - THANK YOU!!! Will that also show me my CD Rom drive (was tyring to find that the other day.) | 03:16 |
| Zzarkc | I'm having a problem with my wireless networking. It worked before upgrading to Karmic (I did a fresh install since I was still back on 8.10). I am using a WUSB54G adapter to connect to an Airport Extreme using WPA2 security encryption. I used ndiswrapper beforehand to connect, but I've heard that my adapter should work regardless. Oh, I can see my network, it just won't connect after I type in my password. Any ideas? | 03:16 |
| JerVA | Anybody - how do I repair the broken package - wine 1.2? | 03:16 |
| maco | didi: did you setup a ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs based on the ones xmonad.org offers? | 03:16 |
| didi | maco: No. | 03:17 |
| Scunizi | Sierradump: /media is where your partitions and usb sticks are mounted.. yes | 03:17 |
| maco | didi: do that | 03:17 |
| maco | didi: it needs to be configured to work | 03:17 |
| === m4v_ is now known as m4v | ||
| didi | maco: I will. | 03:17 |
| Oilut | alankila: witch command? | 03:17 |
| didi | maco: Thank you. | 03:17 |
| Sierradump | Scunizi thank you! | 03:17 |
| Scunizi | Sierradump: cd /media/cdrom or /media/cdrom0 | 03:17 |
| alankila | the one about libadobecertstore.so. I guarantee you need to execute at least that much. Probably more. | 03:17 |
| Scunizi | Sierradump: :) np | 03:17 |
| alankila | once you have it installed. I think you need some 32-bit support. I'm not sure why you wouldn't have it already, since it just worked for me. But I don't know, try executing "apt-get install ia32-libs" and see if that helps | 03:18 |
| alankila | if it says it's already installed then there's no benefit from the command. | 03:18 |
| davep | it appears that lilo cannot install from within a chroot, because the dev files for the drive arent there. | 03:19 |
| david_ | hello. how do i make sure the ati drivers are loaded and working correctly? | 03:19 |
| Oilut | trism: the webpage tells to install a i386.deb file but it wont run here.... its AMD Turion X2 | 03:20 |
| Shwack | david_: System > Administration > Hardware Drivers | 03:20 |
| david_ | Shwack, it doesnt show anything | 03:20 |
| Shwack | david_: There is a package you can get that will help you install the correct ati drivers - somebody in this room should know if you are patient and wait here. | 03:21 |
| david_ | ok | 03:21 |
| david_ | do you know the name of the package? | 03:21 |
| Shwack | Does anybody know which package it is that you get to help with ati drivers? | 03:21 |
| alankila | Oilut: you are wrong. 64-bit systems retain backwards compatibility to 32-bit program code. However, all applications and libraries and whatever else support infrastructure needs to be in place before the apps will work. | 03:21 |
| Scunizi | david_: have you fully updated your system? | 03:21 |
| david_ | Scunizi, i installed it this morning and then updated it all | 03:21 |
| Shwack | david_: True, I needed to fully update before installing graphics drivers | 03:22 |
| alankila | that page you were linked to is basically a long sequence of instructions for installing enough 32-bit support so that adobe air will work | 03:22 |
| david_ | i have everything updated, update manager doesnt show anything | 03:22 |
| Oilut | alankila: i will try to open the .deb file then | 03:22 |
| mdkess | So OpenOffice.org seems to have made up its own keyboard layout, and now I can't type < > and other such characters. | 03:22 |
| mdkess | Any idea why? The layout is correct in other programs | 03:22 |
| Scunizi | david_: if you know what card you have google it with ubuntu.. like <model number> ubuntu 9.10 .. you should get references telling you if your card is compatible or not.. not all ati cards are compatible | 03:23 |
| Oilut | alankila: it said ` wrong architeture i386` =/ | 03:23 |
| Oilut | I think i am going to bed | 03:23 |
| Oilut | haha | 03:23 |
| david_ | Scunizi, i will look | 03:23 |
| trism | Oilut: *shrugs* no idea, I don't have a 64bit system, that was just an adobe support document I found, thought it might work | 03:23 |
| alankila | Oilut: ah, your attempt to install it failed? Still, that means you tried to install a 32-bit package not meant for 64-bit system. | 03:24 |
| alankila | I guarantee you can have 32-bit packages also on 64-bit system, but I guess they lie in dpkg metadata that they are for amd64 and they anyway install 32-bit files on the system. | 03:24 |
| Quan-Time | anyone have gsynaptics and trackpad experience ? | 03:24 |
| Shwack | david_: Applications > Ubuntu Software Center > Search for "Envy" | 03:24 |
| alankila | plus if all else fails there is the option --force-architecture. | 03:24 |
| Oilut | anybody use a technical analisis software for trading?? | 03:25 |
| trism | Oilut: uh, if you read that page, it doesn't tell you to install the deb, it says to extract it | 03:25 |
| Shwack | I would try Envy first | 03:25 |
| alankila | but it's a stupid thing to do so I wouldn't do it | 03:25 |
| Scunizi | Oilut: there is a library you're suppose to install in 64 bit so you can load 32 bit programs.. unfortunatly I've forgotten what the name is :( | 03:25 |
| mdkess | It seems to have chosen its own language settings, but google isn't turning anything up | 03:25 |
| Oilut | trism: yes....i thout about it hehe | 03:25 |
| AegNuddel | What does Compiz mean by button 5 etc.? | 03:25 |
| Ben64 | I'm on Hardy Heron, but I've got Firefox 3.5. It takes a VERY long time usually to close, and my cpu monitor shows I/O activity. What is Firefox doing? How can I make it faster? | 03:25 |
| kain_ | hi all, i need help installing Karmic on a sata drive | 03:26 |
| Shwack | AegNuddel: Mouse button 5 ? One on the side ? | 03:26 |
| AegNuddel | I don't have 5 mouse buttons | 03:26 |
| Scunizi | kain_: that shouldn't make any difference.. what's happening? | 03:26 |
| maco | Ben64: lookup some about cleaning up firefox's sqlite databases | 03:26 |
| EntropyMonster | got tired of firefox's bloat. so i fired it | 03:26 |
| dinkie | can someone tell me what all to blacklist to completely remove any ar5008 support so i can use ndiswrapper. it seems no matter what i blacklist on reboot its still showing the interface. | 03:26 |
| Shwack | AegNuddel: It might be that your button 4 is communicating on the default button 5 channel | 03:26 |
| maco | Ben64: it stores history and bookmarks and such in databases and is writing them out. occasionally cleaning them up makes it faster | 03:26 |
| kain_ | the installation doesn't see my sata drive | 03:26 |
| kain_ | when it comes to partition | 03:26 |
| davep | well that's odd | 03:27 |
| Ben64 | maco: got a place i should start? or just google? | 03:27 |
| AegNuddel | I only have 2 | 03:27 |
| davep | the installer attempts to install grub/lilo from within a chroot - without the dev files | 03:27 |
| davep | hence, there is no way it could work | 03:27 |
| AegNuddel | I can't initiate things when I don't know how | 03:27 |
| Shwack | AegNuddel: Don't know what to tell you then - I wouldn't worry about it though | 03:27 |
| Scunizi | kain_: ouch.. there is a bug about that with a very limited number of drives.. sounds like you have the bug | 03:27 |
| maco | Ben64: http://mozillalinks.org/wp/2009/07/vacuum-your-firefox-databases-for-better-performance/ | 03:27 |
| alankila | AegNuddel: buttons 4 and 5 are wheel up/down events. | 03:27 |
| disappearedng | http://paste.pocoo.org/show/155359/ | 03:27 |
| AegNuddel | I'm trying to set it up so I can see the rest of my desktop | 03:28 |
| disappearedng | can someone explain to me what to do when aptitude returns this? http://paste.pocoo.org/show/155359/ | 03:28 |
| kain_ | the problem is, i had ubuntu 9.10 32 bit on it from an upgrade of 9.04 | 03:28 |
| Ben64 | maco: awesome, gonna try it | 03:28 |
| maco | Ben64: or here http://www.gettingclever.com/2008/06/vacuum-your-firefox-3.html has a command to do all of them at once on linux (mozilla only gives one like that for windows) | 03:28 |
| kain_ | i was able to install ubuntu on my sata drive before | 03:29 |
| Ben64 | ooh | 03:29 |
| kain_ | i just don't remember how | 03:29 |
| AegNuddel | bah thing still won't do anything | 03:29 |
| Scunizi | kain_: are you trying 64 bit now? or just reinstalling 9.10 32bit? | 03:29 |
| kain_ | oops, ya, trying 645 | 03:29 |
| kain_ | 64 bit | 03:29 |
| Scunizi | kain_: the gnome versioin or kde version? | 03:30 |
| kain_ | gnome | 03:30 |
| Ben64 | before -- -rw-r--r-- 1 ben64 108M 2009-12-06 21:29 places.sqlite | 03:30 |
| androver | small problem: i was doing a do-release-upgrade from a terminal within xwindows, and the screensaver turned on, and now typing into the unlock dialog doesn't work, so I can't get back to the upgrade process...is there any way to connect to the upgrade process from a tty? | 03:30 |
| Scunizi | kain_: you might want to try the kde version (kubuntu) .. I've read that there can be some significant differences in installing them on some machines. | 03:31 |
| dinkie | hrm anyone? | 03:31 |
| johnfg | hi guys | 03:31 |
| kain_ | Scunizi : hmmm, i'll check it out, i've never tried kubuntu, i really liked ghome | 03:31 |
| kain_ | gnome* | 03:31 |
| alankila | androver: no, but if it is quiescent it should be safe to kill it. You can recover the database to consistent state with dpkg --configure -a, which it suggests, and then finish. Do not reboot in any circumstance right now. | 03:31 |
| davep | amazing. install size cut down to half by removing openoffice and all the junk it installed. im going to say it's a bug that it installed despite NO x11 environment | 03:32 |
| johnfg | I did what the grub2 wiki suggested, but it made no difference with my problem. | 03:32 |
| Shwack | can't right click on my desktop | 03:32 |
| johnfg | When I go to boot, the system just hangs at the grub prompt. | 03:32 |
| alankila | having a half-finished dpkg update is almost surefire way to boot into broken system. I had to fix one stupid guy's machine twice because he kept on rebooting before updates finished. | 03:32 |
| Shwack | johnfg: that happened to my friend ! | 03:32 |
| johnfg | I did see that others are having the same problem and were expressing the wish to go back to grub 1.5. | 03:33 |
| Oilut | trism: tulio@tuliolap:~/programas$ ./AdobeAIRInstaller.bin Error loading the runtime (libsmime3.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64) | 03:33 |
| Oilut | trism: ALMOSTTT hehe | 03:33 |
| Scunizi | kain_: I've been using gnome for 5 years. but have been running kubuntu in a vm.. I like it.. it's a different kind of polish and flexibility.. lots of the program names are different but in essense it's the same system.. once installed you might be able to sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop to restore gnome | 03:33 |
| johnfg | Shwack, Did you friend fix or get the problem fixed? | 03:33 |
| david_ | Shwack, i installed envy, but when i go to Applications-System Tools-EnvyNG nothing happens | 03:33 |
| androver | alankila: so is the dpkg process the one I should kill? | 03:33 |
| Shwack | johnfg: I dont think so | 03:33 |
| alankila | androver: I'd start from the apt-get process. Usually the grandparent is the safest one to select for termination. | 03:33 |
| Shwack | david_: i'm not familiar with using it , only that i've seen it suggested here | 03:34 |
| AegNuddel | How do I access GDM? | 03:34 |
| Shwack | david_: Try checking documentation for it | 03:34 |
| androver | alankila: I don't see an apt-get process, just the dpkg | 03:34 |
| alankila | well, okay... I kinda expected there to be one | 03:34 |
| alankila | I *guess* you can just kill that, especially if it isn't doing anything. | 03:35 |
| maco | AegNuddel: log out and you're staring at it | 03:35 |
| androver | ok, thanks | 03:35 |
| Oilut | trism: any idea? | 03:35 |
| AegNuddel | oh | 03:35 |
| Oilut | alankila: any idea? | 03:35 |
| AegNuddel | hm | 03:35 |
| AegNuddel | will have to look | 03:35 |
| Oilut | ulio@tuliolap:~/programas$ ./AdobeAIRInstaller.bin Error loading the runtime (libsmime3.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64) | 03:35 |
| alankila | Oilut: no, I haven't seen that. What did you do? | 03:35 |
| david_ | Shwack, it doesnt even start... | 03:35 |
| maco | AegNuddel: gdm is the login screen | 03:35 |
| Oilut | alankila: i did what they told on this page http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/408/kb408084.html#Installing_AIR_1.5_on_64-bit_Ubuntu_7.10__8.04_and_9.04 | 03:36 |
| david_ | anyone know how to use envy? | 03:36 |
| Scunizi | !envy | david_ | 03:36 |
| ubottu | david_: EnvyNG is a program to install newer version of nVidia or ATi drivers, it can be found in !Universe as "envyng-gtk" (for Gtk/Gnome) or "envyng-qt" (for Qt/KDE). It is NOT a supported method to install video drivers; please only use it if standard methods fail and at your own risk - See also !BinaryDriver | 03:36 |
| Oilut | alankila: is it better for me to install a 32 version? | 03:36 |
| Oilut | is there a real difference between both? | 03:36 |
| alankila | Oilut: less problems, I guess, if you use 32-bit systems. 64 bits ain't all it's cracked to be, as you have seen personally. | 03:37 |
| Oilut | alankila: haha understood | 03:37 |
| jozefk | anybody here using imagemagick? | 03:37 |
| Oilut | will begin the downlolad now, then =D | 03:37 |
| Scunizi | jozefk: probably lots of us.. what's the question? | 03:37 |
| david_ | Scunizi, so i gotta get the gtk version, i proibably have qt | 03:37 |
| jozefk | i'm wandering if I can do changes on all images in /folder and all subfolders as well? | 03:38 |
| Scunizi | david_: envy isn't supprted here.. or anywhere.. | 03:38 |
| androver | alankila: it seems to be chugging along again, thanks! | 03:38 |
| alankila | more seriously, 64 bits adds another layer of errors. Open source stuff desperately needs repeatability, elimination of configurations, to make simpler deployment. | 03:38 |
| Scunizi | jozefk: should be able to .. there are command line switches to use it.. man imagemagick and then there are also lots of good tutorials on the web | 03:38 |
| alankila | the minor benefit from 64-bit for some special-purpose expert users is hardly the reason to just offer 64-bit systems to end users. One should treat them as properly dangerous. | 03:39 |
| Oilut | thanks everybody trism alankila leaf-sheep I am going to bed! | 03:39 |
| maco | i dont think 64bit is dangerous. simply not a lot of proprietary software vendors support it. that's their problem, though. just use free software. | 03:39 |
| jozefk | command line switches? hmm maybe I'd ask in bash channel | 03:39 |
| alankila | it's not just proprietary | 03:40 |
| JoeSomebody | installing adobe flash in ff, anything wrong with doing it? | 03:40 |
| maco | jozefk: to go through subdirectories and operate on files in them, you probably want the "find" command | 03:40 |
| dinkie | anyone on my wifi issue? | 03:40 |
| kain_ | Scunizi : i would really prefer to stay with gnome :( | 03:40 |
| __skyl__ | is there a way to --purge and then reinstall? | 03:40 |
| JoeSomebody | is it bad in any way? | 03:40 |
| alankila | if you like java programming, until this year you did not have but server vm meaning slow startup. If you'd like C# programming, you'd find that all new VM features are ported last to 64-bit if at all. If you want to browser the web with firefox, there's no javascript JIT for you even today in that browser. | 03:41 |
| alankila | 64 bits SUCK. | 03:41 |
| maco | JoeSomebody: the package flashplugin-nonfree should cover you | 03:41 |
| jozefk | ah ok i see, i need to use find together with mogrify | 03:41 |
| ten80p | sweet_sarah_jane: i liked pidgin alot, been using it on all my machines even windows :P I dunno why i dont like kubuntu :) | 03:41 |
| Scunizi | kain_: if kde installs then you can install gnome and uninstall kde :).. it's the installation that your after.. if one won't do it and the other will .. well... it's just another way of skinning a cat. | 03:41 |
| maco | alankila: um ive been using 64bit with java for a year and a half, so... no. maybe that was just with sun java? there are other jvms | 03:41 |
| JoeSomebody | maco thx | 03:41 |
| Voss | ubuntu should move to 32/64 hybrid like mac os/x instead of creating two separate versions | 03:41 |
| jeeves_Moss | how can I cure "SuexecUserGroup directive requires SUEXEC wrapper"? | 03:42 |
| kain_ | Scunizi : ok, well how would i install gnome and uninstall kde? | 03:42 |
| maco | Voss: when you figure out how to make debs half the size so it can still fit on a CD, sure | 03:42 |
| alankila | maco: right. Let's just drop this topic before it gets out of hand. I'm too tired to argue about it. The loss of compatibility compared to basically zero benefit of 64-bit is what irritates me about it. | 03:42 |
| dinkie | i don't mind 64bit. i myself have not had any issues with it on my 3 lappys. other then wifi issues always bit rate related tho. | 03:42 |
| Scunizi | kain_: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop will install gnome and then.. (I'll have ubottu send you a link to remove kde.) | 03:42 |
| Scunizi | !puregnome | kain_ | 03:42 |
| ubottu | kain_: If you want to remove all !KDE packages, type « sudo apt-get remove kdelibs4c2 kdelibs5-data && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » into a !terminal | 03:42 |
| kain_ | thx | 03:43 |
| Scunizi | sure :) | 03:43 |
| === Chriz is now known as Chr1831 | ||
| alankila | Voss: someone suggested fatelf format for linux recently. Just make one file support as many architectures as necessary. I'd think that is a good idea, or at least better one than this /lib32 /usr/lib32 stuff we got now. It'd be great to eliminate paths as one source of problems, and have smart installers that can just layer new architectures on top of existing files | 03:44 |
| joshritger | I installed from a mini cd and installed network-manager, I also installed ndiswrapper and the driver for my wifi card, It connects but I don't get an ip adress, can anyone think of any reason that would be? | 03:44 |
| thinktyler | Just wanted to thank anybody who helps, contributes, or works on any flavor of Ubuntu. Have a good day. | 03:44 |
| alankila | so you can do dpkg -i foobar_i386.deb and if there was already foobar_amd64.deb the files would just fuse together | 03:44 |
| alankila | and no point to check/complain about mismatch in architecture because it isn't a problem. All you need to track is that requisite dependencies are already installed for that architecture. | 03:45 |

| monkfish | geirha thanks | 03:48 |
| blubaustin | ya.. u can install ubuntu from a flash drive, using unetbootin. | 03:48 |
| Scunizi | kain_: yep.. but if you're having problems with a cd that won't change with flash | 03:48 |
| dinkie | alright thanks for the normal lack of help i always get here i'll go back to reading for a few days till i figure it out. ya know for such a large community the support really is not 2 great. later peeps. | 03:48 |

| puff | portn0k Okay, so what does dpkg --set-selections change? | 04:46 |
| BioVor3 | puff: you running ubuntu 9.10? | 04:46 |
| arand | Gambit-: It all depends on what the purpose is, and to be honest, I don't really know much beoynd some hobby virtualization really (distro testing, patch/bug/repackage testing etc.).. So I can pretty much just say that if you want to get into major virtualization virtualbox might lag behind, similarly I think latest vmware (free version?) might do 3D acceleration better (i.e. "at all"). | 04:46 |
| portn0k | puff: man dpkg | grep "--set-selections" | 04:46 |
| geirha | rigel: It'll give some messages like that if you don't have all the java 6 pacakges (but you don't need all) so it's safe to ignore. Try restarting firefox again. | 04:47 |
| puff | portn0k dpkg --set-selections just sets some flags, it doesn't actually install anyhting until you kick off the download-and-install part. Hoewver, when i tried that, I ran itno some dependency conflicts. I'd like to just revert the selections to whatever it was before I set them. | 04:47 |

| puff | BioVor8: Wtf? I'm running jaunty... except I just checked lsb-release to get the exact version, and it says intrepid. I have no idea how... | 04:48 |
| Digitalaxis | Hey everyone | 04:49 |
| j0n22 | FloodBot2: ok | 04:49 |
| Digitalaxis | Hey can anyone answer a question | 04:49 |
| puff | portn0k I know what th emangepage says about set-selections, if that answered my question I wouldn't have asked here. | 04:49 |
| geirha | rigel: firefox also has a special page: about:plugins that displays which plugins are installed | 04:49 |
| Digitalaxis | I was looking at some images where u can like zoom out your desktop to a cube | 04:50 |
| Digitalaxis | and i downloaded compiz | 04:50 |
| robert | i need to upgrade my bios and according to the msi site i have to be using windows to do that. is there a way out of this? lol | 04:50 |
| Digitalaxis | enabled everything that looks like it should be | 04:50 |
| Digitalaxis | but i cant get to the cube | 04:50 |
| robert | i guess i can do it and put ubuntu right back on | 04:50 |
| Digitalaxis | anyone know how i can? | 04:50 |
| robert | Digitalaxis, you need 4 workspaces on the bottom right of the screen | 04:51 |
| Digitalaxis | How do i do that? | 04:51 |
| robert | however may workspaces you have will give you that many sides | 04:51 |
| robert | right click | 04:51 |
| DrDamnit | #Ubuntu | 04:51 |
| robert | preferences | 04:51 |
| Digitalaxis | Sorry new to ubuntu, used to slack | 04:51 |
| rigel | i guess it's not seeing the plugin | 04:51 |
| robert | change the number up or down | 04:51 |
| rigel | the java plugin isnt listed here on the about:plugins page | 04:51 |
| Digitalaxis | Ok now how do i like zoom out to see it as a cube | 04:51 |
| robert | thats in the ccsm controls, you decide | 04:52 |
| DrDamnit | Hi everyone... got a wild one for you: after letting Ubuntu sit for a couple of hours (its a laptop) without going into sleep mode, something kicks into hyperdrive on the laptop, and the screen will not stop painting / flashing. Any ideas? | 04:52 |
| robert | sudo apt-get install ccsm | 04:52 |
| Digitalaxis | I have CCSM | 04:52 |
| robert | why did ya leave slackware? if ok to ask, just curious | 04:52 |
| robert | oh ok | 04:52 |
| geirha | rigel: Just to confirm that it is installed: aptitude search sun-java6-plugin | 04:52 |
| nytek_ | Digitalaxis: ctrl + alt +leftmouseclick | 04:52 |
| robert | open ccsm and set the keyboard commands | 04:52 |
| Digitalaxis | 13 was a dissapointment | 04:52 |
| maco | robert: thats kinda offtopic. wanna head to #ubuntu-offtopic for that? | 04:52 |
| robert | lucky 13 lol | 04:52 |
| maco | robert: the slackware bit i mean | 04:52 |
| geirha | rigel: there should be an i at the start of the line | 04:53 |
| robert | maco, i'm helping him at the same time, a little small talk is no biggy, chill lol | 04:53 |
| Digitalaxis | I get that robert, but like, i dont know what should and shouldnt be enabled | 04:53 |
| Digitalaxis | I may have done it wrong | 04:53 |
| robert | Digitalaxis, thats up to you | 04:53 |
| robert | you decide what the controls are | 04:53 |
| robert | in the ccsm settings | 04:53 |
| Shwack | Hello, I have set up Launchers with firefox -P username -no-remote This works just fine except i cannot open more than 1 window. Is there another way to do this where i can open up two windows? | 04:54 |
| Digitalaxis | I guess what im saying is there is no "zoom out to cube" option | 04:54 |
| Digitalaxis | so i dont know what to set | 04:54 |
| geirha | Digitalaxis: If you go to System -> Prefernces -> Appearance -> Visual effects, then select Normal, it will reset the compiz-configuration to the default | 04:54 |
| rigel | geirha: yep, it's installed | 04:54 |
| robert | i need to upgrade my bios and according to the msi site i have to be using windows to do that. is there a way out of this? lol | 04:54 |
| DrDamnit | DigitalAxis: what happens when you do ctrl+alt+down? | 04:54 |
| Digitalaxis | brings up like a tab bar | 04:54 |
| Digitalaxis | in the middle of my window | 04:54 |
| Digitalaxis | with all 4 options | 04:54 |
| robert | how do i upgrade my grub loader? i upgraded to karmic but don't know how to update the grub | 04:55 |
| geirha | rigel: Ok, try closing firefox again, then type in a terminal: pgrep firefox it should not output anything, if it does, firefox is still running | 04:55 |
| === rza_sharp is now known as rzasharp | ||
| geirha | rigel: and if so, pkill firefox to kill it | 04:55 |
| blackman | robert: update-grub (or something like that; it's been a while since i've used debian) | 04:55 |
| Digitalaxis | Any idea Dr? | 04:55 |
| DrDamnit | DigitalAxis, how about holding the middle mouse button and moving the mouse (I think this is how to activate the cube zoom option... or it os somthing close). | 04:55 |
| hylian | i was playing an old dos game and it put ubuntu in 640x480, and now the menu is so close together, i can't change my screen resolution back. i am using the nvidia driver, can someone tell me how to change my screen resolution without going into the menu? | 04:56 |
| geirha | rigel: Clicking the X in the upper right corner doesn't necessarily close firefox. It only does that if it is the last firefox window open. | 04:56 |
| itilious | anyone here know of something I can do to ubuntu to simply have an email notifcation icon appear upon new email? | 04:56 |
| rigel | geirha: it's closed. did not have to kill it | 04:56 |
| blackman | itilious: depends on your mail client | 04:56 |
| robert | 2.6.31-16 the current grub? | 04:56 |
| rzasharp | is it beta grub? | 04:56 |
| DrDamnit | Hi everyone... got a wild one for you: after letting Ubuntu sit for a couple of hours (its a laptop) without going into sleep mode, something kicks into hyperdrive on the laptop, and the screen will not stop painting / flashing. Any ideas? Only rebooting fixes it. | 04:56 |
| robert | itilious, i use gmail, its browser based | 04:56 |
| robert | rzasharp, i don't know | 04:57 |
| robert | does the grub change automatically during upgrade? | 04:57 |
| puff | So, no help on the dpkg question? | 04:57 |
| blackman | robert: yes, grub gets updated during update | 04:57 |
| robert | DrDamnit, i had the same problem, there's at least 2 ways to fix it lemme look brb | 04:57 |
| rigel | still no java plugin | 04:57 |
| geirha | rigel: :/ Then I'm out of ideas on what oculd be wrong | 04:58 |
| robert | blackman, thanks | 04:58 |
| JoeSomebody | hi , what is a good internet bandwdth monitor for this os? | 04:58 |
| itilious | robert, i use thunderbird | 04:58 |
| puff | Okay, here's a second question, can I get the package dependency info in a fairly structure fomrat? (structured enough that I can parse it and use it in a program). | 04:58 |
| itilious | robert, how can i do it with simply a gmail account? | 04:58 |
| karma_police | toast.net has a decent speed test | 04:58 |
| puff | I have a little perl scrip that I put together that measures the size taken up by the files for each package. | 04:58 |
| karma_police | speakeasy.org is a pretty good one also | 04:58 |
| DrDamnit | http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/ | 04:59 |
| demonspork | speedtest.net has a nice one that encompasses speakeasy and several other sites | 04:59 |
| demonspork | also a nice ISP ranking system | 04:59 |
| puff | Oh, also, is there any way to tell what files are added or changed after a package was installed, short of comparing it with the original package file? | 04:59 |
| karma_police | i could care less about this but my gf buggin me bout it.. is there a fix for yoville and ubuntu yet? | 05:00 |
| JoeSomebody | i am looking for a panel applet showing me upload and download speeds, anything like that? | 05:00 |

| robert | hey DrDamnit i found it | 05:01 |
| robert | there are 2 ways that i know of | 05:01 |
| robert | the first way i discovered is to just to remove power manager | 05:02 |
| karma_police | i have checked the forums and have yet to find any workarounds | 05:02 |
| foul_owl | anyone know how to generate 1 md5 hash for a folder and everything in the folder? | 05:02 |
| DrDamnit | cool. I hate power management. | 05:02 |
| robert | DrDamnit, the 2nd solution i learned is to remove gnome-power-manager and install kde's guidance-power-manager | 05:02 |
| surgy | i just reinstalled ubuntu 9.10 and it went throught the whole installation fine and now it boots up to the point where you see the white ubuntu sign and it sets there for a minute and then the screen goes black and it does nothing.... can someone help please? | 05:02 |
| robert | me personally i don't need power manager, but those that do can use the one for kde and it doesn't have the flickering problem | 05:03 |
| robert | DrDamnit, lemme guess, you have an msi also? | 05:03 |
| robert | or some other netbook? | 05:03 |
| DrDamnit | Correct me if I am wrong, power management makes my laptop "green," right? I am an all on all the time kind of guy... so I don't think I'll need it. | 05:03 |
| DrDamnit | HP nc6400 | 05:03 |

| maxus_ | is there a known issue? | 05:04 |
| microlith | maxus_: what model? | 05:05 |
| DrDamnit | darlykaiser: I am a php/mysql (and therefore by extension HTML) programmer. | 05:05 |
| robert | i hate netbook remix lol to me its so in the way | 05:05 |
| robert | but thats just my opinion | 05:05 |
| karma_police | i had the nbr on mine.. i don't like the nbr layout so i ditched it for the full version | 05:05 |
| DrDamnit | robert: thanks! Uninstalled power manaer. | 05:05 |

| karma_police | what issue are u having on acer? | 05:06 |
| DrDamnit | robert: no, HP notebook (nc6400) | 05:06 |

| karma_police | i've been using ubuntu since mid october.... love it.. i was using windows 7 before | 05:07 |
| DrDamnit | darlykaiswer: check your pm window, we can talk about it in there since that's not really an ubuntu question. | 05:07 |
| ndan | this is a wierd question however i have a turion x2 ultra zm-85 processor the l2 cache size SHOULD be 2000 sysinfo says its 1024. everything else looks ok tho i have 3.7k out of 4k ram... but how do i fix this l2 cache? | 05:07 |

| robert | surgy, you know more than i do then lol wish i could help | 05:10 |

| surgy | looks like 9.10 is a complete bust | 05:11 |
| surgy | horrible | 05:11 |
| ndan | maco thanks i did discover the pae on my searches, however i do not run the 32 bit version i run 64 uname -a says 2.6.31-16-generic x86_64 if i still install pae is there a way to do it without reinstalling ubuntu (ie from synaptic) | 05:11 |
| surgy | and no one can even help me | 05:11 |
| maco | ndan: oh! even with 64bit all 4gb dont show? now THAT is odd | 05:11 |
| maco | ndan: sounds like a bug | 05:12 |
| microlith | sounds like a hardware issue to me | 05:12 |
| surgy | should i check the xorg for my resolution? could i be at too high of a refresh rate? where is the xorg located? | 05:12 |
| maco | ndan: microlith also has a point. have you run a memtest? | 05:12 |
| ndan | maco, indeed however its not particularily the ram i'm worried about right now, i was wondering, how do i get ubuntu to recognize the additional 1k l2 cache? | 05:12 |
| maco | ndan: no idea, sorry | 05:13 |
| ndan | maco, correct, i have ran memtest, and this laptop is new (about 2 months old) | 05:13 |
| microlith | ndan: cpu/chipset? | 05:13 |

| discopatrick | how do i get xrandr to list the available outputs? | 05:16 |
| Trailpups | loooooooool, you probably needed to install kubuntu-kde4-desktop or something of the sort. Installing kubuntu-desktop might have still been 3.5. That's assuming you installed kubuntu overtop of an ubuntu install. | 05:16 |
| discopatrick | hang on, let me google that... | 05:16 |
| maco | Trailpups: no, kubuntu-desktop was DEFINITELY 4 in 8.10. 8.04 is the last where 3.5 existed | 05:16 |
| maco | loooooooool: you sure you have 8.10 not 8.04? | 05:16 |
| robert | surgy, thats partly why i recommend using retail computers for Linux, makes it much easier to report bugs so developers can fix them | 05:16 |
| Trailpups | Ah, okay maco, then maybe he has 8.04 or 7.10. | 05:16 |
| Digitalaxis | I dont reccomend retail computers for ANYTHING | 05:17 |
| robert | i don't know much, most of my contributing is reporting bugs that i find, even if they're already reported lol the more they're complained about the more likely developers will fix them | 05:17 |
| blackman | retail computers are overpriced and may use restrictive hardware | 05:17 |
| robert | Digitalaxis, really? how come? | 05:17 |
| robert | oh i see | 05:17 |

| robert | blackman, my netbook was 299. it has built in webcam and voice mic, 169 GB HDD hard drive, 1 GB ram, i think its a reasonable price | 05:19 |
| blackman | robert: laptops and *books are exceptions, yes | 05:19 |
| robert | oops i meant 160 lol | 05:19 |
| Digitalaxis | For laptops pre-built is best | 05:19 |
| blackman | robert: its possible to build your own portable, but it usually ends up as a gimmick | 05:19 |
| blackman | robert: btw, what netbook are you using | 05:20 |
| Trailpups | Shwack, don'think you can open them simultaneously. You can open a profile by firefox -P profile name. I think you open the profile manager with firefox -P. | 05:20 |
| discopatrick | nope, can't work it out. anybody used xrandr before? | 05:20 |
| root_ | hello | 05:20 |
| robert | laptops and desktops are pretty much sold the same price these days, the only reason i could see getting a desktop is to make it yourself and save money. that and if you like to change out hardware a lot | 05:20 |
| root_ | ok I am having some problems with my install | 05:20 |
| portn0k | puff: sorry, i assumed you, like a lot of people, didnt read the manpages | 05:20 |

| gotgnu | i have a question for the ubuntu people that would know, my brothers are running a call center in the Philippines and they are running ubuntu on some old p4 cpus with only 512 ram. they are telling me that in an idle state that ubuntu is using 30% to 40% of the cpu and we need to get that turned down to run the viop software better. so is there a way to do that? | 05:21 |

| blackman | karma_police: i take it you like radiohead :) | 05:22 |
| karma_police | oh yes | 05:22 |
| robert | blackman, i had to either remove power manager or install kde's guidance power manager. i don't even use power management so i just removed | 05:22 |
| Trailpups | Okay Shwack. Then you could just make a launcher then with firefox -g-no-remote -P Profile_name. Just tested it and it worked. | 05:23 |
| robert | blackman, flash is ok on my end. slow sometimes but then again flash isn't the most efficient format, it just won the market by advertising lol | 05:23 |
| surgy | ... | 05:23 |
| Digitalaxis | Still cant get my desktop to the cube type thing, there anything like teamviwer for ubuntu so someone can show me how | 05:23 |
| karma_police | i was lusky.... everything worked out of the box with 9.10 only thing i had to do was blacklist my usb wireless adapter | 05:23 |

| robert | just wondering, even the length of 6 months for ubuntu can be a nightmare for some | 05:24 |
| karma_police | do you have the compiz frontend? | 05:24 |
| blackman | robert: actually, i dont like arch anymore. im going to try http://sta.li and LFS | 05:24 |
| surgy | like me | 05:24 |
| surgy | and no one seams to know anything at all | 05:24 |
| blackman | robert: i agree that it is bug prone | 05:24 |
| Digitalaxis | yeah i have CCSM karma | 05:24 |
| surgy | and why is my xorg empty? | 05:24 |
| robert | i honestly think 6 months isn't enough testing time really | 05:24 |
| blackman | robert: but i dont like it anymore because of their policies and because the devs dont listen | 05:24 |
| karma_police | surgy are you sure that its not a hardware issue? | 05:25 |
| robert | blackman, what policies? | 05:25 |
| jmp_ | hello | 05:25 |
| Digitalaxis | No one wants to help me:( | 05:25 |

| ph33r | racecar56: but I have to do it manually | 06:06 |
| RaptorQuest | ? | 06:06 |
| racecar56 | ph33r: yeah, /etc/default/grub is the place to go if you wanna muck with the menu =P | 06:06 |
| racecar56 | ph33r: i like grub2 a lot better | 06:06 |
| sgnte | Guest55483: What video card do you have? I think xrandr does not work for some nvidia drivers. If it works for you, first past me what xrandr shows you at pastebin | 06:07 |
| racecar56 | ph33r: grub legacy was *SO* annoying, due to menu entries updating, and then your custom kernel options erased -_- | 06:07 |

| sizzler | Hey all, new user here, but I just got an Ubuntu VPS and had a question. How can I install some kind of VPN server, so I can connect to it and all of my traffic is routed through the VPN? I had a pay service called RELAKKS that did this before, I think using PPTPD or something. Can someone tell me what I need to do? | 06:10 |
| sgnte | Guest55483: there is an easier way. Is your friend using gnome? if so. System -> preferences -> Display | 06:11 |
| sje46 | why don't my desktop and terminal match? | 06:11 |
| racecar56 | robert: if you're really daring, you could try but i highly recommend you use FreeDOS/Windows but if you can't, don't bother updating the BIOS anyway | 06:11 |
| Guest55483 | sgnte, nah it's crunchbang... openbox is WM. | 06:12 |
| robert | gonna see if it worked brb | 06:12 |
| racecar56 | robert: if you're comp is a dell, you don't have to use *DOS/Windows to do that, though. | 06:12 |

| Guest55483 | sgnte, i think he is going to give up trying for the night | 06:12 |
| sgnte | Guest55483: ok, then try xrandr. | 06:12 |
| * racecar56 hope that guy didn't just kill his mobo, i personally think nothing happened =p | 06:12 | |
| Guest55483 | sgnte, xrandr wasn't showing it apparently, so no luck :( | 06:13 |

| racecar56 | robert: how'd it go? | 06:14 |
| sgnte | Guest55483: Did he had the monitor connected to his VGA port? also, what video card does he has? I think xrandr does not work for the propietary nvidia drivers. I'm not sure | 06:15 |
| robert | well looks like i have to install the recovery windows cd while i sleep and update the bios tomorrow | 06:15 |
| racecar56 | ok | 06:15 |
| robert | can't wait to get it over with and get microshit back off my machine lol | 06:15 |
| Surlent777 | if xrandir is the thing that lets you get your display "unstuck" when the resolution gets messed up, I can say that it does too work | 06:15 |
| racecar56 | is it really that important that you update your BIOS? | 06:15 |
| blackman | racecar56: old kernel. sometimes, hw support gets swapped around. ie, scsi modules handle sata | 06:15 |

| racecar56 | blackman: ACPI and APM are both broke. | 06:19 |

| bazhang | yuxb, did you have an ubuntu support question | 06:37 |
| DerKlempner | daredevilthere: okay, so the /mnt/F folder -- do have ownership or the proper permissions to write to that folder? | 06:37 |
| daredevilthere | DerKlempner: is that needed too ? | 06:37 |
| portn0k | DerKlempner: ls -alg might tell you | 06:37 |

| daredevilthere | DerKlempner: whn i change the ownership.it says operation not permitted | 06:38 |
| DerKlempner | daredevilthere: Of course, just because the partition is mounted doesn't mean that you're automatically the owner of the folder it's mounted into, or that you have permissions to read/write/execute there. | 06:38 |
| DerKlempner | daredevilthere: Is it owned by root? | 06:38 |
| daredevilthere | DerKlempner: yaa | 06:39 |
| portn0k | daredevilthere: consider the /etc/fstab folder for these permissions on mount | 06:39 |
| yuxb | And how to list the channels? | 06:39 |
| portn0k | s/folder/file | 06:39 |
| lstarnes | yuxb: /list | 06:39 |
| topo | Hi, for some reason nautilus is showing a 105,9gb entry in the places menu, i don't have that partition anywhere, any ideas? | 06:39 |

| bazhang | yuxb, please /join #freenode for this | 06:39 |
| DerKlempner | daredevilthere: If it's going to be a permanent mount and always want access, just change ownership from the command line. | 06:39 |

| racecar56 | Ascavasaion: yeah. command line interface | 06:40 |
| daredevilthere | DerKlempner: alrite but do i have to unmount to change the ownership or it can be done like that | 06:40 |
| Ascavasaion | racecar56: No, I have the graphical one... cannot DL the other ISO because my Internet cap is limited per month. | 06:40 |
| lstarnes | aptget: that looks like it should be working. What command are you using to compile it? | 06:40 |
| hjst | Quan-Time: I'm going to just use rsync this time - but it's worth noting that the Filezilla FTP/SFTP client is cross-platform and is in the Ubuntu repos. I've used it on Windows and while I think the UI is horrific it does the job (bandwidth limiting + queuing) | 06:40 |
| indus | hi | 06:40 |
| racecar56 | Ascavasaion: it's a command prompt and no GUI. maybe you could get twm or some terribly lightweight wm (and if you're lucky, a DE) | 06:40 |

| lstarnes | aptget: what error are you getting? | 06:43 |
| nullp0inter | portn0k: its during the select and install software part, it downloads like 900 plus files and fails towards the end of it | 06:43 |
| portn0k | nullp0inter: iirc the disk comes with an option to check it for defects, have you done this? perhaps you burnt the iso too fast and something phuxd up | 06:43 |

| con6 | hi guys..... what is the most suitable codex i can use for ubuntu 8.10? | 06:48 |
| sevol | is there a way to extract data from a scratched cd in ubuntu? | 06:48 |
| Gambit- | ah, interesting | 06:48 |
| sevol | whenever i try to copy the iso out of the cd it stops halfway :[ | 06:49 |
| racecar56 | sevol: put cd in. how good can it read the data? | 06:49 |
| indus | con6: instead, ill you can use the most suitable player for ubuntu:) use vlc | 06:49 |
| Gambit- | lstarnes, If I run it with -no-remote it seems to work correctly. That's an interesting feature I've never seen before. | 06:49 |
| Ascavasaion | Damn... and there the friggin Ubuntu installation dies again. I tried Ubuntu 6.06 and that also does not work... argh! | 06:49 |
| racecar56 | sevol: like, the file manager, does it seem to work? | 06:49 |
| ColdFyre | sevol: try the ddrescue program | 06:49 |
| aptget | lstarnes: gcc-4.4 | 06:49 |
| sevol | racecar56: read wat i said. i aint stupid | 06:49 |
| racecar56 | Ascavasaion: ahhhh!!!!!!! | 06:49 |
| ColdFyre | if ddrescue does not work, nothing will | 06:49 |
| racecar56 | Ascavasaion: sick! | 06:49 |
| indus | sevol:why are you doing that? | 06:49 |
| lstarnes | aptget: I have 4.2 | 06:49 |
| sevol | indus: doing wat? | 06:49 |
| racecar56 | Ascavasaion: that's so sick. i hope you can get that thing working. | 06:49 |
| indus | sevol: copying iso from cd? | 06:50 |
| lstarnes | aptget: what exact error are you getting? | 06:50 |
| aptget | lstarnes: maybe ill down grade | 06:50 |
| con6 | indus: tq | 06:50 |
| lstarnes | aptget: you probably won't need to | 06:50 |
| sevol | indus: so i can mount it with a virtualdrive | 06:50 |
| indus | con6: whats tq | 06:50 |
| angelus | topo what can you pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -l" ?? | 06:50 |
| indus | sevol: mm | 06:50 |
| Ascavasaion | racecar56: I doubt it now... Mandrake 9.0, Ubuntu 6.06, Ubuntu 8.04.1, and SuSE 9.0 did not work... sigh | 06:50 |
| aptget | lstarnes: stddef.h not found then errors related to missing definitions... | 06:51 |
| sevol | indus: if i try with the cd (cd is beaten up n scratched) it stops at like 400mb/600mb | 06:51 |
| con6 | indus: advising me to use vlc | 06:51 |
| indus | sevol: virtual drive hmm, dont have the iso on disk i believe | 06:51 |
| sevol | when trying to copying it to desktop | 06:51 |
| racecar56 | Ascavasaion: a tiny debian install is probably the way to go. | 06:51 |
| lstarnes | aptget: pastebin the errors | 06:51 |
| indus | sevol: yeah difficult if cd is scratched | 06:51 |
| Ascavasaion | racecar56: Yes, bt I have to download that... sigh | 06:51 |
| racecar56 | Ascavasaion: it's not TERRIBLY big. | 06:51 |
| Ascavasaion | I have to disable acpi each time as well. | 06:51 |
| portn0k | racecar56: whats wrong with a freebsd bootonly iso or debian netinst | 06:51 |
| portn0k | er | 06:51 |
| Ascavasaion | racecar56: Size about? | 06:51 |
| indus | sevol: cant you re download the iso? | 06:52 |
| portn0k | s/racecar56/ascavasaion/ | 06:52 |
| racecar56 | Ascavasaion: let me check | 06:52 |
| sevol | indus: yea i know, but in windows they have some software that can analyze the cd n extract the data, mgiht take a long time. | 06:52 |
| sevol | indus: yea i can of course. | 06:52 |
| portn0k | Ascavasaion: 50mb | 06:52 |

| portn0k | aye | 06:52 |
| Ascavasaion | I have a Debian Sarge ISO... would that work? | 06:52 |

| portn0k | nullp0inter: eek | 06:52 |
| topo | angelus: http://paste.ubuntu.com/336348/ | 06:52 |

| racecar56 | Ascavasaion: i think | 06:53 |
| portn0k | Ascavasaion: i advise you get the newest release, as (obviously) important security updates have been done | 06:53 |
| indus | nullp0inter: yeah need the casper log to see what failed | 06:53 |
| Ascavasaion | Oooh la la... let me drag the DVDROM from the other computer into this one then. | 06:53 |
| racecar56 | Ascavasaion: also 40MB for the business card CD | 06:53 |

| elky | Ascavasaion, you're in the wrong place to babytalk about debian, i'm afraid. | 07:06 |
| Ascavasaion | ikonia: Ubuntu is baby Debian anyways man. | 07:06 |
| ikonia | Ascavasaion: this isn't debian support though as elky suggested | 07:06 |

| Soaringswine | ok so I first installed Ubuntu 9.10 32bit on my computer..updated with the Package Manger GUI, and then tried to use Ubuntu's built-in VNC server (vino IIRC). When I connected from a VNC viewer (tried ultravnc and tightvnc viewer) on Windows, I could see the desktop, and when I moved my mouse, it would move the mouse on the server, but nothing on the screen would change. I could click on the icon for Firefox and watch the monitor o | 07:10 |
| Soaringswine | n the Ubuntu box open Firefox, but nothing would change on the viewer. I have since reinstalled Ubuntu, and VNC worked perfectly fine until I did all the updates, now it is broken just like before. Any suggestions? | 07:10 |
| nullp0inter | ikonia: simple linux | 07:10 |
| nullp0inter | ikonia: nothing fancy | 07:10 |
| ikonia | nullp0inter: check out distrowatch.con and ##linux | 07:11 |

| DerKlempner | Soaringswine: Do you use Compiz on the Ubuntu machine? | 07:11 |
| oferon | ikonia: Yeah, injection with airepaly.. my computer freezes everytime I start trying to inject.. I think it got something to do with my drivers | 07:11 |
| Soaringswine | DerKlempner, no, its a completely clean install. literally have done nothing aside from the updates. | 07:11 |

I have a shared /var, and it appears to be causing conflicts. /var/lock /var/run are still in a ramfs special area afaik. | 07:11 |

| Soaringswine | DerKlempner, ok, but vino worked perfectly fine before I installed all the updates ubuntu suggested | 07:17 |
| ikonia | oferon: certainly in earlier kernels it's got quite poor support and I don't see any notes to suggest it's got better later, | 07:17 |

| innomen | Billiard, where is the list stored? | 07:18 |
| racecar56 | ph33r: i don't know | 07:18 |
| Soaringswine | DerKlempner, i did a fresh install of 9.10, tried out vino, it worked fine. did the updates that the update manager had (which i assume is the same as an apt-get update && apt-get upgrade), and then it stopped working properly. | 07:18 |
| racecar56 | ph33r: maybe i have | 07:18 |

| Timewarper | frucking shut down this sh1t http://ubuntusatanic.org | 07:19 |
| ph33r | racecar56: they are actualy 3gp files but with amr audio.. ok just let me know if you get hold of them | 07:19 |

| eremite_ | Question about resizing a partition. I have 2 partitions, one with XP and one with Ubuntu. The XP partiton was first, and is 30GB. I want to enlarge it and shrink the size of my Ubuntu partition without destroying data. Is this possible? What apps do I need? | 08:34 |
| khensthoth | eremite_: Gparted. | 08:34 |
| qdb | why ices2 uses so much processor when i configured it to default device which turns on using pulseaudio? 40-50% of 1100 mhz | 08:35 |
| khensthoth | eremite_: It might takes hours and hours though. | 08:35 |
| coder__ | hi | 08:35 |
| Jordan_U | eremite_: Gparted is on the Ubuntu LiveCD | 08:36 |
| eremite_ | Im installing gparetd on my hard disc. | 08:36 |
| Jordan_U | eremite_: You can't resize partitions on the drive you are booted from | 08:37 |
| coder__ | i installed xp -->ubuntu -->fedora now im unable to boot ubuntu ---can somebody point what i have to do ? | 08:37 |
| om26er | coder__: installing ubuntu at last worked for me | 08:37 |
| underscore | format * ? | 08:37 |
| coder__ | om26er, now how to recover boot menu | 08:38 |
| Jordan_U | coder__: I would recommend re-installing grub2 in Ubuntu | 08:38 |
| eremite_ | Its not possible to resize my windows partiton while using my ubuntu partiton? | 08:38 |
| coder__ | Jordan_U, im unable to boot ubuntu | 08:38 |
| om26er | coder__: that, i don't know :-/ | 08:38 |
| khensthoth | eremite_: If it involves resizing your Ubuntu partition in anyway, no. Run it from the Live CD. | 08:39 |
| underscore | coder__: use live-cd to get into ubuntu.. then fix the grub | 08:39 |
| joseamunoz | coder__: I recommend to boot with livecd and recover grub | 08:39 |
| Jordan_U | coder__: http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide | 08:39 |
| coder__ | underscore, i have debian live cd will do the job? | 08:40 |
| Jordan_U | coder__: Yes | 08:40 |
| joseamunoz | debian or knoppix will be find | 08:40 |
| coder__ | thanks | 08:40 |
| Rajasun | eremite: unmount your Windows partition in gparted then resize it. There should be an option available to unmount. If I recall correctly, you can't perform actions like resizing on a mounted filesystem. | 08:43 |

| seravitae | i thought it might be dns issues but i am doing everything off LAN (server and clients are 10.1.1.*) and no dns being used. | 10:03 |
| m4v3rick | hi there | 10:03 |
| seravitae | i also disabled DHCP on the server and forced a static ip. no luck. can't think of anything else that would introduce this lag period. | 10:04 |
| m4v3rick | some one could help me put F.E.A.R demo to work on ubuntu?? | 10:04 |

| xxbones21xx | does anyone know how to edit a binary file??? | 10:05 |
| willvarfar | my wifi has suddenly stopped working in ubuntu; its just done a kernel upgrade to .16 iirc but I think it started fine with wifi once after that; however now I've had to boot back into windows just to get online | 10:05 |
| willvarfar | a widespread problem? | 10:06 |
| willvarfar | xxbones21xx: ghex2 is a program you can install; its a 'hex' editor | 10:06 |
| xxbones21xx_ | Does anyone know how to edit a binary file? | 10:09 |
| Rajasun | xxbones21xx_: sudo aptitude install ghex | 10:09 |
| m4v3rick | some one could help me put F.E.A.R demo to work on ubuntu?? | 10:11 |
| xxbones21xx_ | Rajasun: Thank you. | 10:11 |
| Rajasun | xxbones21xx_: you can also take your pick from apt-cache search hex editor , that is if ghex doesn't appeal to you | 10:11 |

| === jongberg1 is now known as jongbergs | ||
| ironfoot495 | I have a problem installing it?? | 10:14 |
| ironfoot495 | ? | 10:15 |
| ActionParsnip | ironfoot495: a while back yeah :) | 10:15 |
| ActionParsnip | ironfoot495: funny game | 10:15 |
| ActionParsnip | or am i thinking of something else | 10:16 |
| ironfoot495 | no it is not a game ? | 10:16 |
| ActionParsnip | ironfoot495: yeah just websearched, sounds cool | 10:17 |
| ActionParsnip | !info globulus | 10:17 |
| ubottu | Package globulus does not exist in karmic | 10:17 |
| ironfoot495 | yeah but I'm having a hard time installing it? | 10:17 |
| ActionParsnip | !info globulos | 10:17 |
| ubottu | Package globulos does not exist in karmic | 10:17 |
| ActionParsnip | thats the game I was thinking of | 10:17 |
| Rajasun | ironfoot495: is it a program for GNOME that gives you a full screen preview to your files? It isn't in the repos yer as far as I recall, though I do know of a repo. | 10:18 |
| ActionParsnip | ironfoot495: https://launchpad.net/~tualatrix/+archive/gloobus | 10:18 |
| ironfoot495 | yes that's right! | 10:18 |
| ActionParsnip | ironfoot495: theres a ppa there, its then as easy as installing any other app | 10:18 |
| xanax` | hello | 10:19 |
| === matt_ is now known as Guest60406 | ||
| ActionParsnip | ironfoot495: doesnt get much easier than that | 10:19 |
| Rajasun | ironfoor495: add this to your sources.list -> deb http://www.sourceslist.eu/repository/karmic/ binary/ | 10:19 |
| xanax` | where is the gdm.config file located ? | 10:19 |
| ironfoot495 | ActionParsnip: ok I'll give it a try really apprectiate it. | 10:19 |
| Rajasun | ironfoor495: run sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install gloobus-coverflow | 10:19 |
| lvh | Hi. Can anoyne on karmic or 9.10 do me a huge favor: apt-file search libpulse.so.0 | grep 32 | 10:19 |
| Rajasun | ironfoor495: No guarantess that it'll work though. It isn't an official package. | 10:20 |
| ActionParsnip | Rajasun: open software sources and add another repo and paste in: ppa:tualatrix/gloobus it will handle the keyt and everything for you | 10:20 |
| ActionParsnip | Rajasun: you dont put a / after karmic too ;) | 10:20 |
| xxbones21xx_ | Rajasun: I dont know hwo to read hex, is there a way to format the output to something like html or something else? | 10:20 |
| Rajasun | ActionParsnip: Not gonna use it, so not installing and the / doesn't matter ;) | 10:21 |
| ActionParsnip | aye :D | 10:21 |
| seravitae | Okay i really dont understand this, proftpd is taking freaking ages to load, i have done UseReverseDNS off and IdentLookups off but still it is the same speed to load, same with opening my webserver. Inbound connections arent affected, only opening the server socket?? | 10:21 |
| Rajasun | ActionParsnip: I do use that repo for some other apps e.g. sopcast-player just not for gloobus | 10:22 |
| Rajasun | ActionParsnip: ;) | 10:22 |
| ActionParsnip | nice | 10:22 |
| m4v3rick | seravitae, you run it as a daemon? | 10:23 |
| seravitae | nod | 10:24 |
| seravitae | its happening with python-paste http server as well which is annoying, heh. every time i run the process, 15 secs to a minute | 10:24 |
| VirusTB | who? | 10:24 |
| m4v3rick | seravitae, hmm..do you experimented with another http server? | 10:25 |
| blinkiz | Hi. I have a customer that has 287 GB of data that's needs to be backuped. The change of this data is probably around 100MB per day. The customer wants to be able to restore files 2 weeks back in time. How do I set this up so it requires so little space as possible? | 10:25 |
| blinkiz | I have heard about merging full and differental backups. Probably something I need to use. | 10:25 |
| seravitae | yes, apache, didnt seem to suffer the same fate - however, apache launches child processes so it may be harder to actually 'see' whtas going on timewise. | 10:25 |
| seravitae | the fact that proftpd does it *and* python http server suggests to me that apache was doing it too, just in another thread. | 10:26 |
| ju_ | hi | 10:26 |
| cow1 | hi | 10:26 |
| cow1 | does any1 know what the "blks" command is used for? | 10:27 |
| erUSUL | blinkiz: many backups programs can do full and incremental backups | 10:27 |
| cow1 | is it used to create a disk image or create file containing unallocated disk blocks? | 10:27 |
| ActionParsnip | cow1: man blks | 10:27 |
| cow1 | doesnt work. | 10:28 |
| cow1 | how about dd command do u know/. | 10:28 |
| cow1 | ? | 10:28 |
| blinkiz | erUSUL, of course. But what do you mean by that? | 10:28 |
| ActionParsnip | cow1: you can use partimage to make an image of a partition | 10:28 |
| erUSUL | blinkiz: rsnapshot for example | 10:28 |
| ActionParsnip | cow1: it will also compress it | 10:28 |
| bbortz_ | have a painful question to ask...was performing a release upgrade over ssh--it was my only option...system became completely unresponsive and i lost connectivity, and can't ssh to port 9004 as the installer said i would be able to...only option was to reboot system...now the system doesn't seem to be coming back online at all... | 10:28 |
| blinkiz | erUSUL, Oh, sorry. Am in the wrong channel. Sorry man! | 10:28 |
| blinkiz | :P | 10:28 |
| erUSUL | blinkiz: that you have many options to choose from and that you have to be more specific if you want to narrow down the options | 10:29 |
| ActionParsnip | bbortz_: boot to live cd, chroot to the installed system and run: sudo apt-get -f install | 10:29 |
| m4v3rick | seravitae, ok then..should be phyton http server problem?? | 10:29 |
| erUSUL | blinkiz: np | 10:29 |
| blinkiz | erUSUL, Yeah, sorry about that. I was supposed to post this in the #bacula channel. So just ignore :) | 10:29 |
| bbortz_ | ActionParsnip: damn...alright, thanks | 10:29 |
| m4v3rick | seravitae, you can try with another version | 10:30 |
| ActionParsnip | bbortz_: or maybe in root recovery console | 10:30 |
| ActionParsnip | bbortz_: less hastle | 10:31 |
| VirusTB | is there an Auto-replace in Xchat | 10:31 |
| VirusTB | is there an Auto-replace in Xchat | 10:32 |
| VirusTB | ActionParsnip, wow do you sleep? | 10:32 |
| bbortz_ | ActionParsnip: not familiar with recovery console...will have to read up...would sudo apt-get -f install not be more hands-off? i'm going to have to instruct someone by telephone from 6000 miles away | 10:32 |

| skywalker | hellp | 10:34 |
| saikatc | if i have a file called test.txt with permission 744 and try to do, at the shell, sudo echo "hi" > test.txt why do i get a permission denied? does the write not happen under sudo? | 10:34 |
| ActionParsnip | bbortz_: select recovery mode in grub and then select root | 10:34 |

| cow1 | whats the command to change permission on file? | 10:34 |
| ju_ | hi | 10:34 |
| saikatc | cow1: chmod | 10:34 |
| ActionParsnip | cow1: chmod | 10:34 |
| ju_ | anyone use before Western Digital My Passport in Linux/Ubuntu? | 10:35 |
| ju_ | in the default drive, it has only NTFS and exFAT filesystem | 10:35 |
| ActionParsnip | saikatc: try: sudo chmod +w test.txt | 10:35 |
| erUSUL | cow1: chmod | 10:35 |
| ActionParsnip | ju_: you can format it as you wish | 10:36 |
| ActionParsnip | ju_: formatting it will lose te data stored | 10:36 |
| bbortz_ | ActionParsnip: got it... | 10:36 |
| saikatc | ActionParsnip: still gets permission denied | 10:36 |
| ju_ | that is no problem for me | 10:36 |
| ju_ | because its a new unit | 10:36 |
| ju_ | im now in vista | 10:36 |

| CritikaL | alguien en español ?? | 10:37 |
| ju_ | instead of ext2/ext3 file system | 10:37 |

| lightbricko | when is the newer nvidia driver added to the "proprietary driver" menu item? I can only see version 185, not 190+. | 10:40 |
| coder__ | i accidently deleted my grub now, what can i do to get it back ? | 10:41 |
| ActionParsnip | ju_: then format it ntfs | 10:41 |
| erUSUL | !latest | lightbricko | 10:41 |
| ubottu | lightbricko: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are: fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports. | 10:41 |
| ActionParsnip | !grub | coder__ | 10:41 |
| ubottu | coder__: 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. | 10:41 |
| ActionParsnip | ju_: linux can read and write ntfs | 10:41 |
| ju_ | ActionParsnip: if it format it as ntfs, can it read n write? | 10:41 |
| flankk | coder__: you deleted grub, or your grub config? | 10:41 |
| ju_ | coz im using ubuntu feisty in the past | 10:41 |
| lightbricko | erUSUL, I see. Do you think there is any chance that it will be added before next version of Ubuntu? | 10:41 |
| ju_ | and it cant read ntfs | 10:42 |
| ActionParsnip | ju_: yes in both systems | 10:42 |
| ju_ | is it something that i missed in the past? | 10:42 |
| ActionParsnip | ju_: not really... | 10:42 |
| ju_ | i rmbed ive to convert to ext2. | 10:42 |
| ju_ | ohh | 10:42 |
| marsilainen | hi all, is the 'karmic-proposed' repository for proposed updates that will likely become karmic updates, or is it proposed packages for lucid? | 10:42 |
| lightbricko | !backports | 10:42 |
| ubottu | If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging | 10:42 |
| coder__ | flankk: i have grub.conf , deleted menu.lst | 10:42 |
| ju_ | so u mean ubuntu also can see the NTFS file system certainly? | 10:42 |
| erUSUL | lightbricko: no; no chance of a official one. maybe there is a ppa with newer drivers. | 10:42 |
| ActionParsnip | ju_: ext2 is good on flash based storage as it reduces writes as the journal is quite heavily written to | 10:43 |
| coder__ | flankk just recovered the grub now fedora is gone :( | 10:43 |
| ActionParsnip | ju_: yes | 10:43 |
| erUSUL | !ppa | lightbricko | 10:43 |
| ubottu | lightbricko: With Launchpad's Personal Package Archives (PPA), you can build and publish binary Ubuntu packages for multiple architectures simply by uploading an Ubuntu source package to Launchpad. See https://help.launchpad.net/PPAQuickStart. | 10:43 |
| lightbricko | erUSUL: ok thx. | 10:43 |
| flankk | coder__: I think update-grub will create a new menu.lst for you | 10:44 |
| ju_ | so, whewn i partition the entire hard drive to partitions, all the partitions also set to NTFS? | 10:44 |
| coder__ | flankk, tried but it didnt created one | 10:44 |
| ActionParsnip | ju_: not immediately, you can create partitions and never format them. You must format the partition so they are usable | 10:44 |
| flankk | coder__: well you can just write it yourself | 10:44 |
| ActionParsnip | ju_: can you please type my name at the start of lines addressed to me | 10:44 |
| ju_ | okie ActionParsnip | 10:45 |
| janiwork | is there any way to show com.ubuntu.* in the policykit so that i can add my local account to change values so that my account doesnt require authentication ? | 10:45 |

| SciFi | hi | 10:45 |
| coder__ | flankk what should i look at to get an idea of creating menu.lst? | 10:45 |
| ju_ | ActionParsnip: i format the entire drive as NTFS first before shirnking the volumne and create partitions? | 10:46 |
| ActionParsnip | coder__: if you install grub2 the bootup config will be calculated for you | 10:46 |
| amitprakash_ | hi.. how do i get bugzilla 3 on ubuntu 8.04? | 10:46 |
| Rajasun | lightbricko: there are several ppas but I'll hesitate to use any of them for installing anything from there on a production machine. But if you are still interested, one such ppa is the NVIDIA VDPAU ppa. Add this to your sources.list -> deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/nvidia-vdpau/ppa/ubuntu karmic main , then run sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude safe-upgrade | 10:46 |
| SciFi | i have a problem with my m-audio fasttrackpro since 9.10. In 9.04 i could choose HW:5,1 as sound card. When i plug it in on 9.10 now, it only shows up 5,0. On 5,1 is S/PDIF. How can i tell the new sound configuration tool to also show subdevices such as 5,1? | 10:46 |
| flankk | coder__: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Configuration | 10:47 |
| ActionParsnip | ju_: no, if you want to shrink after making the partition, why not just make the partition smaller. Avoids shrinking | 10:47 |
| ActionParsnip | ju_: making a 100% partition to then shrink it is none-nensical | 10:47 |
| coder__ | ActionParsnip: i just recovered my grub using grub2 then rm -f /boot/grub/menu.lst* :( | 10:47 |

| Il__Matteo | hi everybody! a question about firefox. when i turn my laptop off by pressing the "on-off" button (associated to "shutdown" function), the next time i turn it on i always find firefox showing as if it crashed during shutdown. it always shows the "restore session"/"start new session" window. how can i tell firefox to always start a new session, without prompting? thanks | 11:13 |
| Miansc | ActionParsnip: it's too hard to find a specific guide for a notebook. | 11:13 |
| Miansc | i'll try and find something more general.. | 11:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Il__Matteo: sounds like the app isnt ending before the power off. If you add the command: killall firefox to /etc/gdm/PostSession/Default it will nuke it when you logoff | 11:15 |

| sunrider | rm -rf! | 11:49 |
| Kud | blackman: I would prefer to use something like mp3blaster instead of a full blown daemon. | 11:49 |
| sunrider | how do you | 11:49 |
| sunrider | i mean, why do you need to switch twrminals | 11:49 |
| joseph | hello | 11:49 |
| === neztov is now known as tweak | ||
| joseph | can somebody help me? I can use any command | 11:50 |
| blackman | Kud: mpd is very light on resources and is the most popular cli player | 11:50 |
| Kud | blackman: Plus, wouldn't I then need a frontend to play the songs on the daemon anyways? Kind of defeats the purpose of running a CLI audio player in a terminal to begin with. :P | 11:50 |
| === tweak is now known as Guest32922 | ||
| blackman | Kud: there are cli frontends for mpd | 11:50 |
| epinky | xover: post results of: "ls -l /etc/rc.local" , use pastebin | 11:50 |
| sunrider | i assume you mean mplayer | 11:50 |

| ubottu | xover, please see my private message | 11:50 |
| === Guest32922 is now known as tweak1 | ||
| Kud | blackman: I don't want a frontend for whatever I am using. | 11:50 |
| relic420 | ok so | 11:50 |
| xover | you dont get it mate, its the frigging sysv | 11:51 |
| blackman | Kud: mpc, ncmpc are frontends for mpd | 11:51 |
| relic420 | after this kde is installed, i reboot and at the login window i can select kde? | 11:51 |
| Rajasun | MohShami: r u using Ubuntu or r u on FreeBSD? U posted that query on both channels? | 11:51 |
| xover | -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 346 2009-12-06 17:37 /etc/rc.local | 11:51 |
| relic420 | configuring kdm, default display manager, gdm or kdm ? | 11:51 |
| Kud | sunrider: I want it on a terminal so that it uses less resources. ie; takes more resources to run x-server -> terminal -> player than just terminal -> player | 11:51 |
| MohShami | Rajasun: I get the same error on both | 11:51 |
| testerasd | everytime i type something for a few miliseconds my touchpad freezes... any ideas 9.10 | 11:51 |
| xover | epinky: are those perms correct? | 11:52 |
| khanh | kud: you could use open cubic player (OCP) | 11:52 |
| epinky | xover: absolutely | 11:52 |
| Il__Matteo | ActionParsnip, i'm trying it, next reboot i'll know the truth about it :D. out to lunch. bye! | 11:52 |
| VirusTB | .close | 11:52 |
| Kud | blackman: The point is, I just want a player (mp3blaster) instead of having to use a daemon with a frontend on X. It completely defeats the purpose of my original logic. | 11:52 |
| blackman | Kud: the mpd has frontends for CLI... meaning that you can manage it in a virtual console | 11:53 |
| joseamunoz | joseph: hi! | 11:53 |
| joseph | hi | 11:53 |
| Kud | blackman: That brings us back to problem #1 then, the audio doesn't transfer over to X when I switch back. | 11:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Kud: could just use xforwarding with a gui app, the sound will play on the remote system but the gui will show on the client system | 11:53 |
| blackman | Kud: sigh. it _does_ | 11:54 |
| xover | epinky: so now what? | 11:54 |
| epinky | xover: do your scripts exit with 0 ? | 11:54 |
| blackman | Kud: mpd can start playing music from _boot_ and the music continues on to x, completely unnaffected | 11:54 |
| testerasd | every-time i type something for a few milliseconds my touchpad freezes... any ideas 9.10 | 11:55 |

| zeppelin8787 | okey removing it | 13:03 |
| MASARUwota | ecmicro: killall -9 sftp | 13:03 |

| ActionParsnip | zeppelin8787: its not implemented yet | 13:12 |
| Dr_Willis | zeppelin8787: gdm 9.10 is rahter minimal. Theres a tool called 'epidermis' (not in the repos) that cange the look. | 13:12 |
| Dr_Willis | who cares what the boot screen looks like... when the OS boots in like 30 sec. :) | 13:12 |
| xxbones21xx_ | i put this file "1.sh" in this dir " root@palm-webos-device:/var/home/root" and when i start the terminal on my palm pre it starts me in the "root@palm-webos-device:/var/home/root#" so i try to run this command "./1.sh" and i get this back"-sh: ./1.sh: not found" ??? | 13:12 |
| thijs_ | How do i remove kernels? I have two unfunctional kernels installed | 13:12 |
| zeppelin8787 | thx <Dr_Willis>,ill try it out.as i said,i love the simple look but i have ti impress M$ fans... | 13:13 |
| Dr_Willis | thijs_: use the package manager to remove them. Or that 'janitor/cruft remover' tool. | 13:13 |
| Dr_Willis | zeppelin8787: dont worry about impressing them.. all they do is complain they cant get 1000fps in WoW. | 13:13 |
| Dr_Willis | zeppelin8787: when they get a virus and you pop in a live cd and save their vacation pics.. then they are impressed | 13:13 |
| zeppelin8787 | hehehe <Dr_Willis>.actually im playing wow in wine and i get 100fps constant max details :) | 13:14 |

| ActionParsnip | you get the idea | 13:18 |
| ActionParsnip | tadej: use the bluetooth icon in the system tray | 13:19 |
| Xeli | ActionParsnip: I don' t have a dhcp, but which static ip should i use? 192.168.2.1 won' t work nor 2.2 .. | 13:19 |

| researcher1 | how can I access my installed application? I cant c them anywhere | 13:19 |
| zeppelin8787 | <researcher1> do u know the name of the application? | 13:19 |
| thijs_ | is this correct when i want to remove my 2.6.31-16 kernel? linux-generic-pae will be removed with configuration | 13:20 |
| khensthoth | researcher1: How did you install the program, and what program is it? | 13:20 |
| researcher1 | yes I have a few installed last week only | 13:20 |
| tadej | ActionParsnip: I click "setup new device" , than "next" ... and now I'm supposed to see the device... | 13:20 |
| tadej | but the field is empty... | 13:20 |
| zeppelin8787 | <researcher1> try typing in the terminal the first 2-3 letters of the program than press tab twice...it should appear there | 13:20 |
| ActionParsnip | Xeli: you need to use an address in the same subnet so if you use 192.168.2.1 for the first system you will need the address of the other system to be 192.168.2.2 or somesuch, don't set the gateway as 192.168.2.0 as that is the network address and makes no sense at all | 13:20 |
| researcher1 | ok | 13:20 |
| ActionParsnip | tadej: yes you need the bluetooth enabled on the device to be found and set it as discoverable | 13:20 |
| thijs_ | Dr_Willis, how do i find the right packages, like, i just marked every linux header thing with 2.6.31-16 in it for complete removal... | 13:21 |
| researcher1 | got it | 13:21 |
| researcher1 | but how to run these programs now? | 13:21 |
| tadej | ActionParsnip: allredy done.. | 13:21 |
| Xeli | ActionParsnip: Oh i see, so what would be a sensable gateway? | 13:21 |
| Rajasun | thijs_: You can have outdated kernels and related uninstalled to free up disk space by issuing sudo aptitude --purge remove linux-headers-2.6.31-14-generic linux-image-2.6.31-14-generic linux-restricted-modules-2.6.31-14-generic linux-backports-modules-2.6.31-14-generic | 13:22 |
| Rajasun | thijs_: then type dpkg --get-selections > /home/yourusername/dpkg-get-selections-master.txt, open the file, find anything more to do with "linux" not removed with the earlier aptitude command, make a list of them use aptitude to purge them all. But BECAREFUL, do NOT remove/purge anythi package pertaining to your current running kernel. If you aren't sure what kernel version you are running at the moment, do type e.g. uname -rsa. | 13:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Xeli: anything which falls in the netmask as a host so 192.168.2.200 will work fine, just do NOT use 0 and do NOT use 255, you can use any number in between | 13:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Xeli: and don't use an IP you assign to a PC | 13:22 |

| Psinetic | >_> is anyone else having trouble signing into amazon? | 13:23 |

| aperson | hmm | 14:14 |
| ActionParsnip | xxbones21xx_: you can have a script to mount as you wish, you will need to run it with sudo though as users arent allowed to mount | 14:14 |
| knxville | ActionParsnip: That's what I'm trying to, now I get connection problems.. weird, I havn't done anything with the router or the xbox configuration, except put an username and password, when trying to connect to a samba server. | 14:14 |
| meowbuntu | in synaptic there is wine and wine1.2 what do i need | 14:14 |
| Charles-xubuntu- | the screen is black now | 14:14 |
| Charles-xubuntu- | with an underscore | 14:14 |
| ActionParsnip | knxville: then why are you wanting the IP of the xbox from the samba server? It makes no sense | 14:14 |
| Charles-xubuntu- | but i still cant do anything | 14:14 |
| ActionParsnip | knxville: the xbox needs the IP of the ubuntu box | 14:14 |
| aperson | Charles-xubuntu-, did you hit each key with about a two second delay? | 14:15 |
| ActionParsnip | knxville: just like ubuntu.comm is a web server but it doesnt know the IP of the millions whom connect to it | 14:15 |
| aperson | Snausages, I'm not sure entirely | 14:15 |
| ActionParsnip | knxville: same thing | 14:15 |
| Charles-xubuntu- | let me try again | 14:15 |
| Charles-xubuntu- | what do i have to type? | 14:15 |
| aperson | Snausages, the caps doesn't matter | 14:15 |
| aperson | REISUB | 14:15 |
| knxville | ActionParsnip: I'm not wanting any ip adress, the xbox is.. it complains about DHCP... so it wont listen on the local network somehow.. | 14:15 |
| meowbuntu | anyone | 14:15 |
| xxbones21xx_ | ActionParsnip: this isn't on linux on a pc, this is the linux webos on the palm pre i dont think the user issue exists here. | 14:15 |

| aperson | Kaboontu, why not 1.2? I use it | 14:17 |
| knxville | ActionParsnip: Yeah, well im off to reboot my router, and see if that works.. | 14:17 |
| meowbuntu | Kaboontu, y not wine1.2 | 14:17 |

| * sirald66 since LaunchPad Bugs is down, and my 9.04 system just eventually freezes from the update - should i upgrade to 9.10? will i lose all my application installs? | 14:17 | |

| ActionParsnip | knxville: could set your xbox to static ip | 14:17 |
| Kaboontu | meowbuntu couse i dont think its wise couse im using 1.1.33 guess :D | 14:17 |
| aperson | Charles-xubuntu-, hmm.. as soon as you hit alt+sysrq+r, it should immediately shutdown and reboot. I've *never* had a system that wouldn't reboot off of that | 14:18 |
| xxbones21xx_ | ActionParsnip: this is what is in the debian.sh script "http://paste.ubuntu.com/336565/plain/" and i have never had to use the sudo command...??? | 14:18 |
| khensthoth | meowbuntu: wine package is the stable version. wine1.2 is the more recent, development version, which might have more bug fixed, but might be more unstable. | 14:18 |
| sirald66 | wine works for a number of things, but not all/most | 14:18 |
| meowbuntu | Kaboontu, well if its in synaptic then its tested and true | 14:18 |

| Kaboontu | meowbuntu maybe but i dont recomend you unless youre developer or smth :) | 14:19 |

| xxbones21xx_ | i believe so this is the dir that shows up on the terminal program on the palm pre "root@palm-webos-device:/var/home/root#" | 14:20 |
| meowbuntu | Charles-xubuntu-, tryed pressing keys or mousbutins | 14:20 |

| Charles-xubuntu- | THANK YOU =D | 14:21 |
| meowbuntu | Charles-xubuntu-, sounds right to me | 14:22 |
| ActionParsnip | xxbones21xx_: thats why you dont needs sudo then | 14:22 |
| meowbuntu | boomernang, y not i want to expand my knowledge. i will install mint 8 on another partition later. | 14:23 |
| duffydack | I thought it was RSEIUB | 14:23 |

| anli_ | ward-: http://imgur.com/CE7Y2 | 14:45 |
| aperson | not-me-guv, of course! :) | 14:45 |
| Dr_Willis | not-me-guv: should be able to. | 14:45 |
| napnap | aperson: have you another idea ? Because ubuntu/ubuntu or ubuntu/nothing doesn't work... On the web I see that ubuntu automatically connect an user, but I wait without success :-( | 14:45 |
| ward- | anli_: aaaaaaaah lol | 14:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Bjornalf: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/InstallingUbuntuOnADellXPSM1530 | 14:45 |
| Dr_Willis | not-me-guv: thats how i do all my installs these days | 14:45 |
| anli_ | As you can see, the menu at the right will not populate correctly | 14:45 |
| napnap | or joseamunoz ? | 14:46 |
| ward- | anli_: i allways drag it like someone said a little earlyer, i cannot find it | 14:46 |
| not-me-guv | just wondering if I have to check with the vendor whether the hardware will boot from USB, or any such thing ... | 14:46 |
| aperson | napnap, I think there is something wrong with your image | 14:46 |
| Dr_Willis | not-me-guv: id hope that any new machines would all have that feature these days | 14:46 |
| ward- | anli_: but someone said to use alt-drag (and that works) | 14:46 |
| not-me-guv | ok, thanks | 14:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Bjornalf: with laptops it ALWAYS ALWAYS pays to websearch the model in conjunction with ubuntu, see what comes up. Users are REALLY good at putiing guides up on how they made their stuff work nice as well as what they coulnt get working | 14:46 |
| ward- | i dont remember who it was and i cannot find it | 14:46 |
| aperson | not-me-guv, I haven't used a cd to install an operating system in quite some time :0 | 14:46 |
| not-me-guv | 'cos I'm sure the answer from a vendor's customer-facing support stuff is "huh?" | 14:47 |
| Dr_Willis | ward-: problem with alt-click-drag is you have to click in JUST the right places on the panel. :) and vertical panels look ugly | 14:47 |
| === factorx__ is now known as Tommy_DO | ||
| anli_ | ward-: alt dragging seems to be no option... | 14:47 |
| not-me-guv | thanks for reassurance :) | 14:47 |
| V3ronika | Does anyone know how to edit the ubuntu-netbookremix very first menu? | 14:47 |
| ward- | Dr_Willis: nope it looks corect | 14:47 |
| ward- | anli_: the alt key on your keyboard + drag (and the right position like Dr_Willis said | 14:48 |
| aperson | V3ronika, right click on it and hit 'edit menu' | 14:48 |
| Dr_Willis | ward-: its nasty looking here in my very full panel. if i enlarge it. some icons resize/some dont. :) must be svg icons | 14:48 |
| travalas | i've noticed a . after some listing with ls -l in the latest version of ubuntu | 14:48 |
| travalas | eg | 14:48 |
| anli_ | wow, this looks really strange, http://imgur.com/rru4v | 14:48 |
| meowbuntu | firefox wants flashplayer plugin. i thought by default these days it should not say that | 14:48 |

| travalas | anybody know anything about that? | 14:48 |
| aperson | meowbuntu, flashplugin isn't free software | 14:48 |
| napnap | aperson: I use it since few month, I've installed ubuntu many times with this CD, normal boot it's ok, install it's ok, so just the login in low graphical mode doesn't work...I can not believe that the iso is bad | 14:48 |
| V3ronika | aperson: ActionParsnip can't really see any option while I right click on it nothing happenes | 14:48 |
| ShishKabab | Hi. What would be the best way to backup the databases of a remote server to my homeserver and keep the backup up-to-date every night (efficiently, because I have a data limit)? | 14:49 |
| ActionParsnip | V3ronika: run: alacarte | 14:49 |
| aperson | meowbuntu, I've had it happen before :) | 14:49 |
| meowbuntu | aperson, i had no problems in mint 7 with it what up | 14:49 |
| ActionParsnip | !backup | ShishKabab | 14:49 |
| ubottu | ShishKabab: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning | 14:49 |
| Dr_Willis | travalas: see if your ls command is set to some alias. | 14:49 |
| aperson | meowbuntu, mint distributes lots of non-free stuff | 14:49 |
| meowbuntu | aperson, any fixes | 14:49 |
| Dr_Willis | alias ls | 14:49 |
| Dr_Willis | alias ls='ls --color=auto' | 14:49 |
| aperson | meowbuntu, install flashplugin-nonfree | 14:50 |
| travalas | just ls --color | 14:50 |
| ward- | anli_: well it works here o.... | 14:50 |
| V3ronika | ActionParsnip: aha... but that's only for programs :S I need to add a few paths.. I can only see Home, Videos... | 14:50 |
| meowbuntu | um aperson they use the same ubuntu repos | 14:50 |
| ward- | anli_: i just tried it and it works perfectly | 14:50 |
| lao5 | nop | 14:50 |
| travalas | i'm trying to figure out what the . means | 14:50 |
| anli_ | ward-: does it full up the whole height with windows? | 14:50 |
| aperson | meowbuntu, yeah, any ubuntu derivative can use them | 14:50 |
| aperson | meowbuntu, that point is moot | 14:50 |
| Dr_Willis | meowbuntu: mint 7 could be consiodered to be skirting some laws/licenseing limitions by including flash also.. legal reasons and so forth are the one of the reasons its not included with ubuntu | 14:50 |
| ActionParsnip | V3ronika: oh thats the favorites in nautilus | 14:50 |
| ward- | anli_: yes if you want it to | 14:51 |
| anli_ | ward-: Can you also resize the taskbar? | 14:51 |
| ShishKabab | ActionParsnip: Thanks! | 14:51 |
| ward- | anli_: resize? | 14:51 |
| StaticPhilly | evening all | 14:51 |
| ActionParsnip | V3ronika: drag the folders you want to the panel in the bottom left of nautilus | 14:51 |
| anli_ | ward: by dragging the edge | 14:51 |
| aperson | meowbuntu, what Dr_Willis said is also very true | 14:51 |
| perlsyntax | How fast is virgin modile wireless dsl anyone use it before? | 14:51 |
| V3ronika | ActionParsnip: thanx!!! | 14:51 |
| ActionParsnip | !ot | perlsyntax | 14:51 |
| ubottu | perlsyntax: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 14:51 |
| ward- | anli_: you got these tiny subdevisions in gnomepanals that have mutliple items | 14:51 |
| StaticPhilly | got a quick question, what, in your own opinion, is the best lightweight desktop | 14:52 |
| meowbuntu | Dr_Willis, y then is the free flash plugin playup | 14:52 |
| anli_ | ward-: the first windows I created resulted in higher taskbar entries, which were kinda ugly, but when the number of windows had increased, they got a nicer taskbar button height | 14:52 |
| Dr_Willis | StaticPhilly: depends on your needs | 14:52 |
| ward- | anli_: you can drag them to re-arrange the space one can use | 14:52 |
| ActionParsnip | StaticPhilly: in my opinion, LXDE | 14:52 |
| Dr_Willis | meowbuntu legal and moral issues.... | 14:52 |
| ActionParsnip | StaticPhilly: also look out for Lubuntu ;) | 14:52 |
| anli_ | ward-: And I will also have to do that? | 14:52 |
| Dr_Willis | meowbuntu: and liceseing 'issues' | 14:52 |
| StaticPhilly | ActionParsnip: THANK YOU | 14:52 |
| Dr_Willis | meowbuntu: takes the VERY VERY VERY high legal ground | 14:52 |
| ward- | anli_: erm... if you want to change it then yes you need to do it | 14:52 |
| anli_ | ward-: there is no apparent drag handle | 14:52 |
| meowbuntu | so Dr_Willis is there a free flashplugin that works then | 14:52 |
| ward- | anli_: nobody is making ubuntu specifically to meet your needs this is called tweaking | 14:53 |
| ward- | to make it the way you like it | 14:53 |
| aperson | meowbuntu, install flashplugin-nonfree | 14:53 |
| StaticPhilly | Dr_Willis: just for setting up and editing configuration files etc remotly (want a faster way then vi or nano really) | 14:53 |
| ActionParsnip | StaticPhilly: just install an ubuntu then run: sudo apt-get install lxde done | 14:53 |
| V3ronika | I'm also trying to add mount of smb to the fstab. Now I don't know what creditentials means: //<hostname>/<share> <mount_point> cifs credentials=<credentials_file>,rw,user,noauto 0 0 Can someone please explain me what is creditentials. Is it something like 755 file permissions in linux? | 14:53 |
| aperson | meowbuntu, it's illegal to distribute it, but you can still install it | 14:53 |
| ward- | anli_: sorry cannot help then, just mess with it | 14:53 |
| ActionParsnip | StaticPhilly: for super lightness use xubuntu | 14:53 |
| === thijs_ is now known as thijs__ | ||
| aperson | meowbuntu, flashplugin-nonfree will download and install it for you | 14:53 |
| travalas | anbody know what the dot means after permissions drwxr-xr-x. | 14:53 |
| meowbuntu | aperson, and i would have to install the other flash plugin to stop conflicts | 14:53 |
| perlsyntax | this room a joke alot. | 14:53 |
| ward- | anli_: also this is gnome, you can use other stuff aswell like KDE, fluxbox, ... whatever you like | 14:53 |
| aperson | meowbuntu, that *is* the flash plugin | 14:54 |
| IkarusMK | #ubuntu-de | 14:54 |
| ward- | windows managers i mean | 14:54 |
| leaf-sheep | StaticPhilly: For even more lightness/thinness. Install LXDE / XFCE packages as you go from minimal. :) | 14:54 |
| boomernang | travalas, over-analysing | 14:54 |
| IkarusMK | #ubuntu-user.de | 14:54 |
| StaticPhilly | ActionParsnip: thank you i will have a look into xubuntu and see what i make of it, lxde is what i had in mind but was just looking into what otehrs there were as well :) thanks again | 14:54 |
| IkarusMK | .. | 14:54 |
| Pici | IkarusMK: /join #ubuntu-de | 14:54 |
| travalas | maybe be but it's inconsistent | 14:54 |
| travalas | it doesn't always show up | 14:54 |
| anli_ | ward-: hm, hard to make a good choice there, maybe KDE is what I want to use | 14:54 |
| anli_ | But I dont think it is very beautiful anyway | 14:54 |
| anli_ | gnome is ok | 14:54 |
| boomernang | travalas, when does it show up? | 14:55 |
| ActionParsnip | StaticPhilly: Lubuntu will be an official release too ;) | 14:55 |
| meowbuntu | aperson, mint has bothe a free and non free flashplugin. ubuntu only has nonfree | 14:55 |
| aperson | meowbuntu, there is only the nonfree one | 14:55 |
| ActionParsnip | StaticPhilly: as leaf-sheep says if you install minimal then install lxde you will have a mean slick system | 14:55 |
| ward- | anli_: well gnome-panel is just not very nice to put on the side of your screen | 14:55 |
| llutz | V3ronika: credentials are your user/pass needed for the win-share. you can put them into a file, 2 lines: username=yourusername / password=yourpassword | 14:55 |
| ward- | anli_: you could use a dock for that maybe | 14:55 |
| ActionParsnip | aperson: gnash and swdec exist | 14:56 |
| leaf-sheep | ActionParsnip: I did it for my Gnome. I like not having Evolution and other silly little things I have no need for. :) | 14:56 |
| Rajasun | meowbuntu: ubuntu carries gnash iirc | 14:56 |
| aperson | ActionParsnip, that's not what meowbuntu is getting at | 14:56 |
| meowbuntu | aperson, you should consult the mint repos then there is 2 there | 14:56 |
| llutz | V3ronika: make sure to set permissions of that file very restrictive | 14:56 |
| ActionParsnip | aperson: gotcha | 14:56 |
| aperson | meowbuntu, howabout just install flashplugin-nonfree and not worry about it :) | 14:56 |
| ActionParsnip | leaf-sheep: exactly, i use ulite to achieve the same | 14:56 |
| Dr_Willis | meowbuntu: the non-free package normally downloads the proper flash tar.gz from the flash fileservers | 14:56 |
| llutz | V3ronika: for more info, read "man mount.cifs" | 14:56 |
| travalas | boomernang | 14:57 |
| ManDay | How frequently does the weather indicator in the timeanddate panel applet update? | 14:57 |
| StaticPhilly | ActionParsnip, leaf-sheep thanks, just looking at xubuntu now, but yes it will be from a min build then just apt the desktop so it only has what i need installed | 14:57 |
| travalas | boomernang, that's what i'm trying to figure out | 14:57 |
| ActionParsnip | ManDay: i think its controlable | 14:57 |
| anli_ | When I resize a window, it will not update live, is that possible to chagne in gnome? | 14:57 |
| anli_ | I only get a blue outline until I have released the mouse button | 14:57 |
| boomernang | travalas, i think it is scripts that are owned by root for cron | 14:57 |
| Dr_Willis | anli_: i perfer the blue box/outline. :) | 14:57 |
| === c is now known as charitwo | ||
| aperson | anli_, I think that's a compiz thing, I'm not sure if gnome can do it by itself | 14:58 |
| ward- | anli_: aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah | 14:58 |
| anli_ | aha | 14:58 |
| ward- | anli_: compiz-fusion does that | 14:58 |
| Dr_Willis | anli_: there may be some compiz setting for it, | 14:58 |
| anli_ | maybe compiz-fusion isnt that good then | 14:58 |
| ward- | anli_: press alt-F2 and type ccsm | 14:58 |
| ward- | anli_: it IS good | 14:58 |
| anli_ | thx! | 14:58 |
| ward- | anli_: you can SET IT UP | 14:58 |
| aperson | ward-, that isn't installed by default | 14:58 |
| travalas | boomernang, maybe, but i'm seeing it in my home directory as well | 14:58 |
| ward- | anli_: just like allmost anything in linux you can set it up | 14:58 |
| ActionParsnip | anli_: its the resize option in ccsm | 14:58 |
| boomernang | travalas, symlinks? | 14:59 |
| ward- | aperson: what isnt installed by default? | 14:59 |
| ActionParsnip | anli_: set it to "normal" ad it will act as expected | 14:59 |
| ward- | aperson: aaaaaah | 14:59 |
| ManDay | ActionParsnip, I've only seen a setting for this in the actual weather applet, but not in the timeanddate one | 14:59 |

| ManDay | ActionParsnip, you wouldn't say that if you lived at my place ;p | 15:00 |

| ActionParsnip | ShishKabab: sql has a backup system afaik, you can perform diferential backups to make the data smaller | 15:05 |
| Dr_Willis | Kent: a read of the vbox docs/manual will also point some neat features of those guest addations :) | 15:05 |

| Ari-Ugwu | In 9.10 (Karmic) is WPA2 broken or am I going crazy? | 15:12 |
| aperson | freaky[t], plus, chromium is what chrome is built off of, and you can get updates/features faster :0 | 15:12 |
| sunrider | alankila, im sorry, i didnt know | 15:12 |
| alankila | According to my tests, chromium is no better than webkit. The canvas tag may be slightly faster for some operations, but javascript memory performance was similar to firefox, in effect atrocious. | 15:12 |
| meowbuntu | this is a new install also | 15:13 |
| aperson | alankila, chromium uses webkit | 15:13 |
| freaky[t] | aperson, it's not in the repositories is it? | 15:13 |
| aperson | freaky[t], ppa:chromium-daily | 15:13 |
| alankila | aperson: yes, but the javascript engine is v8, which is worse than whatever webkit comes with, I think. | 15:13 |
| ActionParsnip | meowbuntu: if you install bleachbit it will uninstall a whole host of stuff you didnt think you have which is just hanging around | 15:13 |
| aperson | alankila, v8 is faster, imho | 15:13 |
| alankila | if webkit does indeed come with any javascript engine. | 15:13 |
| meowbuntu | o well i gtg | 15:13 |
| ironfoot495 | Hello is there anyone who has some understanding of gloobus | 15:13 |
| Eremite | Firefox > everything else on all of my Linux and Windows machines. | 15:13 |
| aperson | alankila, webkit is a rendering engine, not a javascript engine | 15:13 |
| Mozillero124 | HOLA SOY DE COSTA RICA ALGUN LATINO POR AQUI | 15:14 |
| ActionParsnip | aperson: chromium rocks :). Arora is good too | 15:14 |
| alankila | aperson: hard to say. I could not detect any improvement at runtime for my tests, but I saw much larger memory usage. | 15:14 |
| Rajasun | alankila: chrome and chromium are built on webkit | 15:14 |
| freaky[t] | aperson, how do i add that? | 15:14 |

| alankila | hmm... so in epiphany-browser, I wonder what the javascript engine is called. | 15:14 |
| freaky[t] | aperson, just add-apt-repository ppa:chromium-daily | 15:14 |
| freaky[t] | aperson, ? | 15:14 |
| Eremite | How can you use a browser with no extensions? You need ad blockers, script blockers, etc | 15:14 |
| aperson | freaky[t], add-apt-repository ppa:chromium-daily | 15:14 |
| sunrider | i shall aptget epiphany | 15:14 |
| freaky[t] | aperson, ok done that | 15:14 |
| error404notfound | whenever i start my system gnome-do asks for my keyring password, anyway to make it remember keyring password forever? | 15:14 |
| freaky[t] | aperson, wait ;D | 15:14 |
| Eremite | Epiphany is nothing fancy | 15:14 |
| bobo | i'm looking for a simple distro under 2gb that will boot fast and act like asus "expressgate" | 15:14 |
| aperson | freaky[t], sudo aptitude install chromium-browser | 15:15 |
| sunrider | eremite, it uses very little ram! | 15:15 |
| Eremite | bobo: "Crunchbang" | 15:15 |
| freaky[t] | aperson, first ap-get update | 15:15 |
| laeg | !cd-rw | 15:15 |
| tdn | How do I install Ubuntu Netbook Remix with whole disk encryption (luks)? | 15:15 |

| Eremite | sunrider: very little ram means nothing when security is involved. | 15:15 |
| bobo | thanks Eremite | 15:15 |
| ActionParsnip | bobo: very little boots faster than xpud | 15:15 |
| bobo | wats xpud haha | 15:15 |
| MyGame | :P | 15:15 |
| sunrider | eremite, i use encryption when security is involved | 15:15 |
| sunrider | not a web broser | 15:16 |
| arooni_____ | how do i get cpu temperature from the command line? | 15:16 |
| mUrshEd | ! | 15:16 |
| alankila | webkit contains a javascript engine, it seems. So I guess Google guys just wanted to invent their own. I guess they started out when webkit's js stll sucked. | 15:16 |
| bobo | all i know is ubuntu is SLOWWWWWWWW compared to dsl | 15:16 |
| ActionParsnip | bobo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tY1xAiNnPTc | 15:16 |
| Eremite | sunrider, browser can easily be hijacked. | 15:16 |
| tdn | Is there an alternate installer for UNR? | 15:16 |
| alankila | there's been a lot of improvement in the last year or two | 15:16 |
| sunrider | eremite, what makes firefox defended against hijacking | 15:16 |
| Eremite | bobo: I suggest BYZANTINEOS for older machines. | 15:16 |
| freaky[t] | aperson, does chromium exactly like google chrome? oO | 15:16 |
| bastidrazor | arooni_____: possibly acpi -Vf | 15:16 |
| DasEi | arooni_____: install lm-sensors, run sensors-detect, then enter ensors | 15:16 |
| DasEi | s* | 15:16 |
| Rajasun | had epiphany till recently, somehow the transition to webkit brings with it encoding issues amongst others e.g. missing options on right click menu e.g. open in new tab...persisted for awhile, filed bug reports even both at launchpad and gnome upstream, eventually gave up...using chrome and firefox primarily these days | 15:16 |
| sunrider | there has been very little improvement in firefox memory suckage reduction | 15:16 |
| Eremite | sunrider, FF has ability to ad scrip blockers and ad blockers. | 15:17 |
| aperson | freaky[t], chrome is built off of chromium | 15:17 |
| ActionParsnip | bobo: boots in 4 seconds on my SATA w/ 8mb cache, 2Gb DDR2 and 1.6Ghz single core CPU | 15:17 |
| alankila | http://bel.fi/~alankila/hdr/hdrexperiment.html only works properly in webkit-based browsers, which tells something about why it's better in my opinion | 15:17 |
| bobo | Eremite: i have a new machine... oh also i'm looking for network support | 15:17 |
| freaky[t] | aperson, i know but does it look exactly like google chrome? | 15:17 |
| sunrider | eremite, ah yeah i can disable js | 15:17 |
| bobo | it's for my lenovo laptop | 15:17 |
| alankila | (don't click it on firefox, it will suck gigabytes of RAM) | 15:17 |
| aperson | freaky[t], chromium is thusly updated first | yeah, it is the same | 15:17 |
| freaky[t] | aperson, because the start page is google.de and a second tab with google chrome | 15:17 |
| Pici | bobo: If you're not asking about Ubuntu, may I suggest ##linux for general linux advice. | 15:17 |
| mUrshEd | ubuntu10 very slow and many BUG | 15:17 |
| bobo | Pici: they ignore me there haha | 15:17 |
| aperson | freaky[t], you can change that... | 15:17 |
| ActionParsnip | bobo: its still linux, a lot of the drivers are removed but theres a tarball with them in which you can add. | 15:17 |
| freaky[t] | aperson, i know i just wondered | 15:17 |
| sunrider | alankila, what will that page do | 15:18 |
| Consul_Falx | (ee) open /dev/fb0: no such file or directory. Ubuntu will run in low graphics mode ... anyone knows how to fix xorg pre-logon crash? | 15:18 |
| Pici | bobo: Well, its offtopic for this channel. | 15:18 |
| tsimpson | bobo: there is #ubuntu-offtopic too, this channel is just for Ubuntu support | 15:18 |

| bobo | ok | 15:18 |
| Ziber | Whats the command to reconfigure a package...? | 15:18 |
| sunrider | alankila, heh | 15:18 |
| alankila | don't laugh. It's *possible* in webkit. None of the others will wor really. | 15:18 |
| aperson | Ziber, dpkg --reconfigure <packagename> | 15:18 |
| Rajasun | Ziber: sudo dpkg-reconfigure packagename | 15:18 |
| Ziber | aperson: thanks | 15:18 |
| DasEi | Ziber: sudo dpkg-reconfigure | 15:18 |
| mUrshEd | Thanks ubottu DasEi | 15:18 |
| freaky[t] | aperson, ok thank you i set chromium as default now :D | 15:19 |
| DasEi | brain > mUrshEd | 15:19 |
| DasEi | !brain > mUrshEd | 15:19 |
| ubottu | mUrshEd, please see my private message | 15:19 |
| aperson | Ziber, err... listen to the other guys :) | 15:19 |
| sunrider | this is ubuntu? thought it was linux! hahaha | 15:19 |
| sunrider | ##linux ! | 15:19 |
| vleis | hello | 15:19 |
| Rajasun | Ubuntu is a GNU/Linux distro | 15:20 |
| vleis | or just a linux distro if you arent a huge bearded pedant | 15:20 |
| Rajasun | lol :P | 15:20 |
| cirkit | Please only use free software that respects your freedom. | 15:20 |
| Ziber | What do I do if I forgot my mysql root pw? | 15:20 |
| ikonia | all, please type "/topic" to check the channels topics as it appears to be getting strayed here | 15:20 |
| Ziber | Or, what would the default be? | 15:21 |
| freaky[t] | hm, aperson google chrome looks better | 15:21 |
| ikonia | basically - this channel is ubuntu support only | 15:21 |
| anli_ | ok, this becomes scary, when I have closed all the application I had up, the taskbar is still populated with taskbar buttons | 15:21 |
| anli_ | Seems that ubuntu is not the right choice... | 15:21 |
| Ziber | oh, nvm | 15:21 |
| aperson | freaky[t], how so? the only difference is that chrome isn't updated as much, and has a different icon | 15:21 |
| Ziber | Hwow do you change the root mysql pw? | 15:21 |
| Ziber | *How | 15:21 |
| anli_ | Use phpmyadmin | 15:21 |
| ActionParsnip | Ziber: ask in #sql, this is ubuntu support | 15:21 |
| Ziber | I use CLI | 15:21 |
| anli_ | Dont use cli | 15:21 |
| freaky[t] | aperson, there are more differences - eg. default font it seems like ... and the google home thing where u can see all your visited pages in screenshots | 15:22 |
| anli_ | cli is good for nothing | 15:22 |
| ikonia | Ziber: mysqladmin can, or the "grant" command in the mysql shell. You may want to look at tools such as mysqladmin | 15:22 |
| piojunbabia | hi, im using ubuntu 5.10 is it possible to install flash video from adobe.com for my firefox brower? how? thank you | 15:22 |
| aperson | freaky[t], if it's in chromium, it's what chrome will be | 15:22 |
| godmode | http://lmgtfy.com/?q=reset+sa+password+mysql | 15:22 |
| jrib | !5.10 | piojunbabia | 15:22 |
| ubottu | piojunbabia: Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger) was the third release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: April 13, 2007. See !eol and !upgrade for more details. | 15:22 |
| ikonia | piojunbabia: I can't see that working - that's an old release with old dependencies | 15:22 |
| freaky[t] | aperson, google does add stuff ;D | 15:22 |
| DasEi | !hi | 15:23 |
| ubottu | 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! | 15:23 |
| aperson | freaky[t], considering google is behind chromium, chromium is the one getting things added | 15:23 |
| jrib | piojunbabia: that release is no longer supported, you need to upgrade to a supported release like 8.04 or 9.10 | 15:23 |
| anli_ | Aha, the panel had locked | 15:23 |
| cirkit | Please perform a dist-upgrade as 9.10 is the latest. | 15:23 |
| Pici | !who | 15:23 |
| ubottu | As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 15:23 |
| cirkit | @ piojunbabia | 15:23 |
| freaky[t] | aperson, google doesnt do nothing with chromium | 15:23 |
| anli_ | or more of hanged | 15:23 |
| anli_ | kalama | 15:23 |
| aperson | freaky[t], I'm not so sure about that, they'r the ones behind it | 15:23 |
| piojunbabia | ok THANKS ALL, il upgrade when my installation disc will arrive,, | 15:23 |
| Rajasun | aperson: the relationship between chrome and chromium is akin to Star Office and Openoffice or Red Hat and Fedora | 15:24 |
| aperson | Rajasun, still, all google does is change the icon | 15:25 |
| myki | Hello. Is there specific procedure to fix ubuntu, after changing graphics card (different vendor, model). I swapped my geforce to radeon, and I get only blinking vty1, and cannot do anything. | 15:25 |
| ActionParsnip | myki: uninstall the nvidia drivers and rename /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 15:26 |
| Rajasun | aperson: I'm getting the updates I want both the app itself and for the extensions...so I'm a happy Chrome user on Ubuntu and I guess u heard the stories about Ubuntu and Google's Chrome OS haven't u? | 15:26 |
| EagleScreen | myki: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg | 15:27 |
| myki | EagleScreen: ActionParsnip: How to do this from livecd? I cannot access even vty because of blinking and lags (?). Chroot and proceed as with normal instalation? | 15:27 |
| aperson | Rajasun, as far as I know, their extension repo isn't up yet, only for submission | 15:27 |
| Rajasun | aperson: well ,I hv updates | 15:28 |
| xxbones21xx_ | "http://paste.ubuntu.com/336619/plain/" I'm trying to run this command and after it runs the "./debian.sh" command it doesnt do anything else ??? | 15:28 |
| EagleScreen | myki: you may do it woth chroot, and it might work | 15:28 |
| urlwolf | anyone using softmaker? | 15:28 |
| leaf-sheep | !anyone | urlwolf | 15:29 |
| ubottu | urlwolf: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 15:29 |
| EagleScreen | but, myki it is better to boot ubuntu in recovery mode and run it in root shell | 15:29 |
| Rajasun | is softmaker even still alive? | 15:29 |
| Nemurenai | Hey, I have a question: I have touch buttons at the top of my keyboard (I have a HP laptop) - if I want to mute the sound, I have to press the button three times. In Jaunty it worked fine - any ideas why? | 15:29 |
| myki | EagleScreen: recovery mode isn't accessible as well. | 15:29 |
| EagleScreen | myki: it should be even changing graphics card | 15:30 |
| aperson | Rajasun, I after looking it up, the only difference is exactly as I said, chrome has branding, chromium doesn't and is updated more often | 15:30 |
| StaticPh1lly | can anyone tell me if its possible to tell apt not to update a certin package when doing a dist upgrade? | 15:30 |
| aperson | Rajasun, so if you have it, I have it as well | 15:30 |
| ajah | how to open port | 15:30 |
| aperson | StaticPh1lly, apt-pinning should due the trick | 15:30 |
| ActionParsnip | myki: boot to recovery root console and run: sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia*; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove; sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf_old; shutdown -r now | 15:30 |

| zend_fan | hi I have ubuntu 9.10 trying to get access to a virtual host but all it shows is the default page how do I make it show the correct page I have host setup test.com works on server but not on client | 15:31 |
| Rajasun | aperson: u r essentially right otherwise...chrome just look that tad nicer | 15:31 |
| aperson | Rajasun, because it has an icon? | 15:31 |
| jrib | myki, ActionParsnip: no need for sudo in recovery mode | 15:31 |
| Ari-Ugwu | In 9.10 (Karmic) is WPA2 broken? (In 8.10 is was fine.) | 15:31 |
| aperson | ActionParsnip, I should convert you to aptitude :P | 15:32 |
| StaticPh1lly | thanks aperson | 15:32 |
| Rajasun | aperson: nope...the colors and of course themes...u can make it respect the installed desktop gtk theme of course | 15:32 |
| Azeotrope | I have this in crontab as root mplayer -loop 0 /home/azeo/Music/navy.wav and it play only once. the loop0 should make it to run infintely | 15:32 |
| aperson | Rajasun, same thing in chromium | 15:32 |
| xxbones21xx_ | "http://paste.ubuntu.com/336619/plain/" I'm trying to run this command and after it runs the "./debian.sh" command it doesnt do anything else ??? | 15:33 |
| Rajasun | aperson: to each his own | 15:33 |
| karioke | Hi guys | 15:33 |
| aperson | Rajasun, both have the same themes support, same gtk theme ability | true :) | 15:33 |
| jrib | Azeotrope: so check the output? | 15:33 |
| karioke | I need a very small help | 15:33 |
| aperson | karioke, off with it! :) | 15:33 |
| mezquitale | how do you manage wireless in ubuntu remix? | 15:33 |
| karioke | I am recording some sounds using the sound recorder application | 15:33 |
| Azeotrope | jrib: how? | 15:33 |
| karioke | and I am able to do so | 15:33 |
| jrib | Azeotrope: why are you running it as root? | 15:34 |
| Azeotrope | yes | 15:34 |
| karioke | this sound is coming through my USB port | 15:34 |
| Rajasun | aperson: aptitude ownz! | 15:34 |
| aperson | karioke, try to keep it to a couple of lines | 15:34 |
| lun4tic | Azeotrope: why should someone ever want mplayer to run as root? | 15:34 |
| aperson | Rajasun, agreed :) | 15:34 |
| karioke | aperson, ok | 15:34 |
| Rajasun | :P | 15:34 |
| jrib | Azeotrope: *why* | 15:34 |
| OttifantSir | Just a check before I write anything about it: I got some code from a developer. It runs perfect on my system, but isn't uploaded to the public yet, and probably won't be for some time. I was wondering if I would get into any trouble if I blogged about the code and made it available for people to download? It's an applet for AWN 0.4 the dev ported from 0.3.2 | 15:35 |
| karioke | So I have a TV tuner card in my USB part and I am streaming the video to mplayer. I am unable to get the sound | 15:35 |
| karioke | what should I do | 15:35 |
| jrib | OttifantSir: ask the dev | 15:35 |
| Azeotrope | jrib, I want the alarm to sound at the login screen | 15:35 |
| aperson | karioke, I'm not sure about mplayer, but I know vlc has a record option | 15:35 |
| Guybrush88 | when will be lucid alpha 1 ready to test? | 15:35 |
| leaf-sheep | !lucid | Guybrush88 | 15:36 |
| karioke | Also, I see my TV tuner card in "sound recorder" application and I am able to record the audio | 15:36 |
| ubottu | Guybrush88: 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 | 15:36 |
| genii | Guybrush88: Dec10 | 15:36 |
| Azeotrope | lun4tic: and hoe could i make the alarm play every morning at the login screen? | 15:36 |
| jrib | Azeotrope: either redirect stderr and stdout in your command to a file somewhere or install an MTA so you can read mail from cron | 15:36 |
| OttifantSir | jrib: I wish to do so, but he isn't online right now, and I feel the inspiration now, so I asked here to see if anyone would give me a bit more legalese advice than that. | 15:36 |

| genii | Guybrush88: As per https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidReleaseSchedule | 15:36 |
| karioke | aperson: I tried VLC. there too I am able to stream but not audio | 15:36 |
| jrib | OttifantSir: it's completely up to him and the license he chooses | 15:36 |
| lun4tic | normally cron should be able to run stuff as any user you want | 15:36 |
| aperson | I have the release schedule as my wallpaper :) | 15:36 |

| karioke | my video device is /dev/video1. I am not sure of the audio one. | 15:37 |
| Rajasun | Gaybrush88: check the weekly newsletter at distrowatch | 15:37 |
| aperson | karioke, but the audio works through mplayer? you could use audacity to record it, I think it can record whatever is coming out of your speakers | 15:37 |
| karioke | aperson: the sound is not comming from my speakers. The only way till now for me to hear the sound of the tuner card is to record it via "sound recorder" and play it | 15:38 |
| lun4tic | then mplayer uses the wrong audio device for recording | 15:38 |
| roger__ | how do I minimalize memory usage as far as it is possible to get my Ubuntu 8.10 to work fast and smooth on duron 1200+ 384mb ram? And also how to get flash to work decently on such rig? | 15:39 |
| evrim1 | yes | 15:39 |
| lun4tic | what's your default audio input? | 15:39 |
| karioke | lun4tic: thats the issue. How do I know whats the correct audio device (like for video its /dev/video) | 15:39 |
| mezquitale | anyone knows how to manage wireless connections using ubuntu netbook remix? | 15:39 |
| aperson | roger: remove any unnecessary services and start up programs | 15:39 |
| Elnino | hi ppl | 15:39 |
| lun4tic | karioke: maybe it is set to some line or microphone, which is noch connected currently | 15:40 |

| DasEi | roger__: lower the processes as possible, f.e. install bum, check in htop/top for uneened ones and shoot/disable them .. higher 1 gig is enough | 15:40 |
| karioke | lun4tic, Using the sound preferences I have set the input as my USB tuner card | 15:41 |

| ssd5 | i am able to ping from linux to windows but not from windows to linux. destination host unreachable. am using ubuntu 9.10 server on virtualbox. | 15:42 |
| DasEi | roger__: lowest is 256 ram, even a setup to 512 will boost your machine, is it sd ram ? | 15:42 |
| roger__ | ye sadly, it was 256 until today | 15:42 |
| DasEi | ssd5: firewall ? | 15:42 |
| roger__ | hard to find sd ram and it's expensive | 15:43 |
| guntbert | ssd5: sounds like a virtual box networking modes question - there is #vbox better suited | 15:43 |
| karioke | lun4tic, Do you know a way to detect the different audio devices in my system (/dev/*) | 15:43 |
| Elnino | http://nopaste.info/9872c8db27.html | 15:43 |

| anli_ | Is there a way to make the menues and drop down lists in gnome not look so ultra fat | 15:45 |
| roger__ | is that possible that lack of ram can cause problems with proper system shutdown, and even a destruction of ntfs filesystem? cuz that what happened for me, but I recovered luckyli | 15:45 |
| DasEi | roger__: back to bum, can use it to unload unneeded modules/daemons, also check htop or conky for your systemload | 15:45 |
| DasEi | roger__: not really, it will just slow things | 15:45 |
| freaky[t] | is there any good realtime strategy game for ubuntu but warzone2100? | 15:46 |
| DasEi | roger__: also can do a memtest, to see if ram is faulty | 15:46 |
| lun4tic | karioke: if you use the standard ubuntu audio system there are differend pulseaudio GUI programms that show your audio devices | 15:46 |
| roger__ | DasEi cool hint | 15:46 |
| roger__ | DasEi trying bum as we speak | 15:46 |
| lun4tic | if your TV tuner hardware doesn't show up there then it isn detected correctly | 15:46 |
| karioke | lun4tic, can you name one? | 15:47 |
| lun4tic | no juste "apt-cache search pulseaudio" | 15:47 |
| lun4tic | -e | 15:47 |
| roger__ | DasEi do I need power management or something on a desktop? | 15:47 |
| DasEi | roger__: another more radical idea is to use another wm then gnome, I once set up karmic on a 512 celeron using icewm, netinstall cd and only needed packages, ran fine, though just vid-cd's , no dvd (but could copy to hd to view) | 15:48 |
| roger__ | gonna try icewm | 15:49 |
| DasEi | roger__: http://tinyurl.com/ynmk44 | 15:49 |
| DasEi | roger__: no, unless any special hotkeys fail, just try it | 15:50 |
| mezquitale | anyone knows how to manage wireless connections using ubuntu netbook remix? | 15:51 |
| roger__ | DasEi can I disable gdm service in bum? | 15:51 |
| Jamed | mezquitale: nm-applet | 15:51 |
| roger__ | DasEi what will it resoult with | 15:51 |
| DasEi | roger__: I think it can run gnome, if you want this, get the minimal installer, install no packages in first and then only the needed one per hand, ultra slim footprint | 15:52 |
| Jamed | mezquitale: should be in the top-panel by default | 15:52 |
| karioke | lun4tic, So I see my tuner card in the input. Infact there is lots of motion in the volume bar. But I hear no noise | 15:52 |
| DasEi | roger__: just try, I havent it enabled too, though gdm logs me in | 15:52 |
| karioke | lun4tic, Also in the putput I have the output device as "dummy output" | 15:52 |
| mezquitale | Jamed, network manager?!? But that manages wired connections nicely but it's nothing like network manager on my laptop, I cant even configure it to use a router without security | 15:53 |
| lun4tic | so your card records but your ourput device isn't set correctly | 15:53 |
| lun4tic | output* | 15:53 |
| lun4tic | maybe the sound apps that work don't use pulseaudio but alsa directly | 15:53 |
| Elnino | so what do i do | 15:54 |
| pvandewyngaerde | how can i disable this annoying keyring message after auto login when it tries to connect to my wireless ? | 15:54 |
| Jamed | mezquitale: i never tried a router without security (should have WPA anyway), but nm should be able to handle it | 15:54 |
| lun4tic | karioke: check rightclick --> preferences --> hardware on your volume controll applet in the gnome-panel | 15:54 |

| roger__ | DasEi I want an intuitive wm, which will automount devices but remain light and fast | 15:57 |

| roger__ | DasEi gonna try icewm | 15:58 |
| Jamed | mezquitale: what wireless card do you have? | 15:58 |
| mezquitale | ranjan, if there's not enough space it could be that there's not enough free space on your hard drive, also you cannot burn exactly 4.7 gigs, you need some space for the file system structure | 15:59 |

| craigbass1976 | sipior, I don't know who they are | 16:40 |
| OttifantSir1 | thevishy: It doesn't do "live" scanning, only on-demand scanning in Ubuntu, but basically the same client as you get for Windows. | 16:41 |
| sipior | craigbass1976: you have their email address, i imagine. | 16:41 |

| mattgyver | jeeves_Moss, lol, yeah they can be a tad rude sometimes, but they are the experts, perhaps even asking in #ubuntu-server would be wise.. I find not many people do much with apache in this chan | 16:44 |
| DasEi | thevishy: also can use antivir from command line | 16:44 |
| mattgyver | jeeves_Moss, let me rephrase that, they might, however responses are slim | 16:44 |
| jeeves_Moss | mattgyver, lol. I tried to install SubSonic on a v-hosted box, and it ate it. I was drinking last night when I installed it, and I wasn't in the mood to troubleshoot | 16:45 |

| mattgyver | jeeves_Moss, sucks man id be more than glad to help you out but my knowledge is very limited. | 16:46 |
| jeeves_Moss | mattgyver, no worries. | 16:46 |
| nperry | CarlFK: Are you using a seperate /home partion? | 16:46 |

| thevishy | suppose the hacker has the network key | 16:53 |
| warriorforgod | thevishy: What makes you think the virus did something to the router? | 16:53 |
| portn0k | thevishy: i doubt any windows malware has affected your router | 16:53 |

| Qtpaxa | d0wn: emesesne crazy is supposed to | 16:56 |
| warriorforgod | thevishy: Very unlikely it would change anything on your router. It could affect other windows comps on the network. Have you ran a virus/spyware scan? | 16:56 |
| logintimeout | nperry: i need it extended to 240 sec | 16:56 |
| johnfg | mattgyver, Right, and I tried the usual things to try and get into grub, but it's not waiting for input. | 16:56 |

| Rajasun | d0wn: dpkg-query -W packagename | 17:00 |
| logintimeout | Fish-Face: try a ram check next boot at grub | 17:00 |
| Fish-Face | KaiForce, because it was thrashing. I figured if I disabled swap it would either start killing browser tabs when I ran out, or it would reap more pages of cache | 17:00 |
| d0wn | Thanks rajasun | 17:00 |
| rayno_b | nperry - sorry I don't understand. can you explain a little in more detail? | 17:00 |
| Fish-Face | in fact, it uses more cache | 17:01 |
| llutz | d0wn: apt-cache policy package | 17:01 |
| Eremite | khensthoth: yes | 17:01 |
| nperry | Sure, are you wanting it to be mounted every boot time, or do it automatically? | 17:01 |
| KaiForce | Fish-Face - if it was thrashing, you are already ram starved. Disabling swap made it worse, not better. | 17:01 |
| d0wn | llutz: thanks, I think that is what I need | 17:01 |
| Eremite | I can get sound to record, but I cant hear it. | 17:01 |
| Fish-Face | logintimeout, can bad RAM cause this? | 17:01 |
| khensthoth | Eremite: Have you tried turning up the Mic volume in the Playback tab under alsamixer? | 17:01 |
| Fish-Face | KaiForce, well, that would make sense, but I *should* have plenty of memory | 17:01 |
| demonspork | Fish-Face, a bad HDD can cause this, do you have any other OS you can boot into? | 17:01 |
| Fish-Face | not installed on here, no | 17:02 |
| Rajasun | d0wn: that's for installed packages, for packages not installed use apt-show-versions packagename | 17:02 |
| LjL | KaiForce: unless your aim was to force the system to kill processes and stop thrashing, in which case disabling swap would do that | 17:02 |
| Fish-Face | demonspork, I have been suspicious of the HDD since it threw a bad sector recently | 17:02 |
| Fish-Face | but I zapped the sector and it's been OK | 17:02 |
| Fish-Face | last SMART test passed too | 17:02 |
| jonz | exit | 17:02 |
| Eremite | khensthoth: yes. I'm familiar with setting up windows machines for this, and it seems to be the same style of recording settings available. Like I said, I get sound if I record it, but not live. | 17:02 |
| d0wn | Rajasun, yeah, that was what I needed :] Thanks for your help though | 17:02 |
| demonspork | Fish-Face, boot up off of the liveCD and see if the problem persists, that can determine whether it is the hdd or the other hardware | 17:02 |
| Rajasun | d0wn: np | 17:02 |
| demonspork | Fish-Face, or just a messed up Ubuntu install | 17:03 |
| nperry | rayno_b: ? | 17:03 |
| KaiForce | Fish-Face, was it spending a lot of time in %WA? | 17:04 |
| Fish-Face | it shouldn't be the installation - I reinstalled recently and the problem was present before that | 17:04 |

| johnfg | mattgyver, I'm still reading the info, but this laptop is an Asus, and also has never had any trouble with multi-booting with earlier versions of grub. I'm almost positive that none of the suggested culprits are what's the problem here. | 17:05 |
| mezquitale | Eremite, are you using alsa? Are you trying to hear sound on a laptop or desktop? Headphones or speaker? It sounds like you dont have the correct settings for output, or you have another application open that is locking the output, try using jack when recording | 17:05 |
| Ari-Ugwu | In 9.10 (Karmic) is WPA2 broken? (In 8.10 it was fine.) | 17:06 |
| Fish-Face | KaiForce, I generally have XChat, a browser (firefox/chrome with 10-20 tabs) gedit (5-10 open files) pidgin and a couple of terminals | 17:06 |
| freeride | please help. how do i create iso imahe of a dvd??? | 17:06 |

| settntrenz | Hey guys, so I have a very annoying problem where evolution is seems to be continually retrieving (via pop) duplicate messages from my hotmail account. hotmail is set to save the messages on the server. I've been using it for a few months without issue and nothing has changed on my end. I was able to build a deb of the evolution-remove-duplicates RPM from fedora 11 using alien to remove the duplicates but I need to stop this from occurring. | 17:07 |
| Fish-Face | and sure enough it looks like swappiness is doing its work | 17:07 |
| Eremite | mezquitale: im just trying to hear the mic. Desktop, great sound system. My mixer only shows one device for output and it works for everything but mic. I can record sound, but I cannot hear the sounds coming out of the speakers while I record. | 17:07 |
| tina-_ | can i just do grub-install? | 17:07 |
| freeride | how do i creat iso image of a DVD | 17:07 |
| tina-_ | i just fear i will kill the xp that is on it too | 17:07 |
| KaiForce | Fish-Face: how much RAM? I missed that | 17:08 |
| Fish-Face | 1 gigabyte | 17:08 |
| nperry | freeride: cat /dev/scd0 > /home/yourusername/isoname.iso - you need to find out first of all your dir for the dvd and then change the output dir | 17:08 |

| Eremite | In windows I never have problems. With linux im in here every dy asking for help. Argh. How much trouble should I have to go through just to ge a microphone to work? | 17:08 |
| KaiForce | hmm, should be OK, depending on what are on those tabs | 17:08 |
| DasEi | grendal_prime: yes, see http://tinyurl.com/knorfp | 17:08 |
| mezquitale | Eremite, you dont want to hear the sounds while you record, it'll cause some serious ugly feedback, try using headphones while you record | 17:08 |

| Juicy | Can anyone help me with a few lines of C++? :D | 17:11 |
| settntrenz | is using cat to create the iso image better/more efficient than using dd? | 17:11 |
| DasEi | llutz: never tried that, using mkisofs I thought | 17:11 |
| llutz | settntrenz: less typing | 17:11 |
| Eremite | Even if I wanted to use headphones, it wouldnt change the fact that sound is NOT coming out, but is being picked up if I record. It also shows movement on the input level. | 17:11 |
| === david is now known as Guest7786 | ||
| ak5 | how do I make firefox use a different icontheme than the rest of my gtk world | 17:12 |
| llutz | DasEi: mkisofs? creates an iso from filesystem. dvd contains iso, so just copy it | 17:12 |
| nperry | ak5: You need to create a firefox theme | 17:12 |
| thevishy | would a virus affected usb affect my ubuntu ? i am downloading this iso which I need to copy to usb and burn it in the desktop itself | 17:12 |
| ak5 | nperry: gah, best way? | 17:12 |
| settntrenz | llutz: I see, reason I asked was more so for writing bluray iso's. I was trying to use my ps3 running ubuntu to make it but it was taking forever using dd (even specifying large block sizes) | 17:12 |
| KaiForce | thevishy: windows virus?? | 17:13 |
| thevishy | yeah windows | 17:13 |
| settntrenz | llutz: hence, i was wondering if cat did it faster | 17:13 |
| KaiForce | vishy: no | 17:13 |
| thevishy | ok | 17:13 |
| DasEi | thevishy: likely not | 17:13 |
| thevishy | ok but I guess better to be safe | 17:13 |
| thevishy | :) | 17:13 |
| Juicy | for (x=0;x<∞;x++){yell(help.c++)} | 17:13 |
| mezquitale | Eremite, I suggest you use ubuntustudio, youre doing your stuff with your hands tied behind your back and blindfolded, if you just want to use your mic as an input, configure everything in "sound" applet, raise volume of mic in "input" tab, make sure in "output" tab is using the correct sound card | 17:13 |
| KaiForce | it can't execute in ubuntu, I've cleaned a lot of USB drives on Ubunut | 17:13 |
| llutz | settntrenz: i haven't tested it yet, but i guess speed will be similar (dd/cat) | 17:13 |
| nperry | ak5: First of all, is the theme from normal ubuntu install? As someone may have already done it | 17:14 |
| thevishy | oh , how u cleaned them btw Kaiforce | 17:14 |

| ak5 | nperry: no, sorry everything custom here | 17:15 |
| Juicy | cant find one that doesnt have mandatory nick registration -.- (sipior) | 17:15 |
| thevishy | has to be something related to the nautilus configuration | 17:15 |
| AegNuddel | oh well have to go to class soon | 17:15 |
| Eremite | mezquitale: this kind of thing is basic in every other OS. Im not chaning OS's just to play guitar, that's silly. I alsoi did everything you said to do BEFORE I started playing. Like I said, ive done this before and I know how to set thinsg up. However, there;s simply no visible option to enable sound to the speakers, which defies all logic. | 17:15 |
| settntrenz | llutz: granted bd was ~30GB and writing to NFS over mediocre wlan connection it wrote like 2-3 gigs in an hour which made the whole process useless to me. (I'd rather go buy another copy than not be able to use my ps3 for hours) | 17:15 |
| Digitalaxis | settntrenz: the fact that you cannot be without your PS3 for a day is sad. | 17:16 |
| sipior | Juicy: that's an odd objection. in any event, it doesn't really justify asking in other random channels. | 17:16 |

| DasEi | Axz: if it says new kernel installed, got to reboot | 17:58 |
| FabioTheApe | woah I think i just overdosed on random text... | 17:58 |
| xander | and i hear myself talking trough my microphone | 17:58 |
| khensthoth | xander: Yup. Turn that down to 0% | 17:58 |
| xander | ok | 17:58 |
| xander | now | 17:58 |
| khensthoth | xander: Now speak to the microphone to see if you still hear yourself. | 17:58 |
| Axz | DasEi, what do you think could be issue? | 17:58 |
| grawity | khensthoth: how about muting it instead? (With the M key.) | 17:58 |
| xander | i do still hear myself | 17:59 |
| ^workman^ | FoolishOwl: np | 17:59 |
| Axz | because DVD bruner is just 2 week old | 17:59 |
| ^workman^ | FoolishOwl: good luck | 17:59 |
| Axz | burner* | 17:59 |
| khensthoth | grawity: Ah, never thought of that. Thanks. | 17:59 |
| ntwari | Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? | 18:00 |
| DasEi | Axz: either aq failing drive or you somehow lost the right driver for it, alo could try another app, maybe an update conflicts with a 'static' nero install, re-install nero or try k3b | 18:00 |
| grawity | ntwari: What command did you just use? | 18:00 |
| ntwari | can anyone help me here? | 18:00 |
| saj | apocalypt: thanks so much for your help. it worked.... | 18:00 |
| dAlfa89_ | This is going to sound idiotic, but which of the information given in ifconfig is the actual device name/manufacturer/whatever? | 18:00 |
| Dr_Willis | ntwari close all othr packate manager tools | 18:00 |
| ntwari | no | 18:00 |
| xander | hmm | 18:00 |
| xander | so | 18:00 |
| DasEi | ntwari: are you trying to run apt while synatic is still open ? | 18:00 |
| xander | i changed this | 18:01 |
| ntwari | yes | 18:01 |
| khensthoth | xander: Weird.. Thinking. | 18:01 |
| Hilikus | jrib, well, nothing. jut apt-get upgrade | 18:01 |
| xander | mic select was on mic1 i changed it to mic2 and now i stopped hearing myself | 18:01 |
| xander | but | 18:01 |
| apocalypt | ntwari: and start your command with sudo before | 18:01 |
| DasEi | ntwari: close synaptic then | 18:01 |
| adminewb | jrib, one thing occurs to me now: the MBR grub2 partition could just as well be a strictly /boot setup, with no linux kernels or initramfs to load, just grub2 | 18:01 |

| Hilikus | bind9-host dnsutils libbind9-40 libdns45 libisc45 libisccc40 libisccfg40 liblwres40 | 18:01 |
| xander | then again my question is, why cant i talk trough skype | 18:01 |

| Matson | question about kernel image updates: I just installed /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-17-server with dist-upgrade. (1) does this requirea reboot? (2) these updates to the kernel are happeneing really frequently, like 2/month. how do I figure out what the reason for the change is? is it a real security issue that requires me to take down my server for a reboot? | 18:03 |
| ybit2 | absolutely no output.. and noting happens.. | 18:03 |
| Dr_Willis | Tina-: see the ls alias i gave above to make ls default to using colors | 18:03 |
| apocalypt | Tina-: try to configure it in /etc/bash.bashrc | 18:03 |
| Tina- | k ty | 18:04 |
| adminewb | jrib, any ideas where to get help on sharing submounts across installations? Not either necessarily with NFS mounts or the like, but not ruling those out. | 18:04 |
| maco | Matson: if its a security reason, itll be on the ubuntu security page | 18:04 |
| maco | Matson: lemme find it for you | 18:04 |
| dotblank | Matson, 1. it requires a reboot to recieve the benefits of the new kernel. 2. A Lot of them are security updates and bug fixes | 18:04 |
| grawity | Matson: A kernel change requires a reboot. Unless you use 'ksplice', which can do live upgrades (and only upgrades). | 18:04 |
| jrib | adminewb: here is fine as far as irc goes | 18:04 |
| ntwari | Thanks men, it works. | 18:04 |
| maco | Matson: http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/ | 18:04 |
| xander | no | 18:04 |
| xander | but it never worked before on ubuntu | 18:05 |
| adminewb | jrib, what about some community howto or faq or something | 18:05 |
| xander | and just to say that i have ubuntu 8.04 | 18:05 |
| grawity | Matson: As for the change reasons -- "aptitude" can show you the change log, do 'aptitude changelog <packagename> | less' | 18:05 |
| jrib | adminewb: don't know of one, and doubt it exists | 18:05 |
| jrib | !support | adminewb | 18:05 |
| ubottu | adminewb: The official ubuntu support channel is #ubuntu. Also see http://ubuntu.com/support and http://ubuntuforums.org | 18:05 |
| maco | Matson: security.ubuntu.com will redirect there as well. subscribe to the rss so youll know if the kernel update is for security and if the security issue is relevant to your environment | 18:05 |
| Hilikus | jrib: i used synaptic instead of apt-get like the forum suggested for the message i posted and it works now. thanks anyway | 18:06 |

| PND | Hello everyone | 18:06 |
| khensthoth | xander: I'd really recommend you to upgrade to Ubuntu 9.10, or at least 9.04. PulseAudio on various releases have various issues. 9.10 is the only which works perfectly for me. | 18:06 |
| laeg | i've just upgraded to 9.10 and i'm trying to import pidgin accounts into empathy but a pop has appeared "Unlock keyring - enter the default keyring to unlock - the applicaton account manager (/usr/lib/telepathy/mission-control-5) wants to access the default keyring but it's locked - it will not take my login/root pass and i've never configured a keyring - what do i do? | 18:06 |
| Dr_Willis | adminewb: what was the actual question? | 18:06 |
| xander | hmm | 18:07 |
| xander | i will | 18:07 |
| PND | I have problem with my sound card : First, often at boot I don't have sound... Second, I get a lot of that message in my syslog : Dec 7 19:03:46 blackblue kernel: [ 639.831518] hda-intel: spurious response 0x0:0x0, last cmd=0x170503 | 18:07 |

| xander | now my mic works, but i still hear myself | 18:07 |
| jrib | Hilikus: not sure why you didn't just pastebin your command and full output so I didn't have to guess. But here is my guess: you ran apt-get upgrade instead of apt-get dist-upgrade (read « man apt-get » for differences) | 18:07 |
| dotblank | I have a problem.... my laptop randomly decided to start working and it fixed itself for no reason.... I didnt even update it.. now wifi on/off switch works and suspend | 18:07 |

| jb0nd38372 | I just installed ubuntu 9.10 and have a problem accessing my 2nd and 3rd hard drives, ubuntu see's temp, I even have icons for each on the desktop but I have no premissions to either drive. Whats the command to give myself ownership of those drives? | 18:07 |
| grawity | laeg: It's created automatically first time an app needs it, and it is also unlocked automatically upon login (unless you have autologin), that's why you have never noticed it... | 18:07 |
| gidna | Hi | 18:07 |
| ikonia | jb0nd38372: what file system is on the drives ? | 18:08 |
| Dr_Willis | jb0nd38372: if ntfs/vfat - try installing/running the ntfs-config tool | 18:08 |
| adac | I want to play a trailer from apple.com/trailers but firefox tells me "The playback of this movie requires a text/html decoder plugin which is not installed." Any ideas? | 18:08 |
| dotblank | jb0nd38372, are those drives ext3/4? | 18:08 |
| dury | hi there channel :) | 18:08 |
| adminewb | Dr_Willis, it has to do with sharing file system submounts across installations. What might /var be doing that causes apparent package config conflicts when shared? | 18:08 |
| jb0nd38372 | dotblank, yes, I formatted both Ext4 | 18:08 |
| dotblank | jb0nd38372, ah there is your problem.. | 18:08 |
| nytek_ | does anybody know of a fix for a "No suitable module for running kernel found" when running virtualbox? | 18:08 |

| qwd | Is there an Ekiga or SIP user here? I would like to see if I've set up Ekiga correctly so I would like to write a message to someone or try calling. | 18:09 |
| dotblank | jb0nd38372, you need to mount the drives as nosuid or change the permisions on the entire drive | 18:09 |
| Hilikus | jrib: i did run apt-get upgrade. there's no point on pasting to know that, just ask if i used upgrade or dist-upgrade. what i posted in the channel was the only feedback i got. the name of the packages and the message that tey were kept back. everything else was the exact same message you see any other time. reading package list... building depency tree, etc | 18:09 |
| dury | is it possible to do videoconference in it | 18:09 |
| Hilikus | but it worked | 18:09 |
| jb0nd38372 | ooh :( whats the best filesystem to use? i decided to make this machine 100% linux, no more MS | 18:09 |
| Hilikus | :) | 18:09 |
| xander | hmm | 18:09 |
| adac | apocalypt, ok! | 18:09 |
| dotblank | jb0nd38372, ext4 is fine | 18:09 |
| xander | it worked for a second now it dosent no more. | 18:09 |
| ikonia | jb0nd38372: depends what you like, ext4 is becoming the standard | 18:09 |
| discopatrick | can anyone help with xorg.conf? | 18:09 |
| dury | I mean with hardy | 18:09 |
| apocalypt | jb0nd38372: for ubuntu 9.10 use ext4 | 18:10 |
| grawity | lyeeth: Can you do a screenshot or something? Your examples become confusing over IRC. | 18:10 |
| Dr_Willis | jb0nd38372: then use ex3/4 and properly mount th edrives and set the permissions/owndership on the mountpoints/subdirs on the filesystems | 18:10 |
| jrib | Hilikus: this is clear to the person helping you if you just pastebin; not clear if you break up the information on several lines | 18:10 |
| ikonia | jb0nd38372: if your disks are running ext4 the you need to use the "chown" and "chmod" command to set the permissions | 18:10 |
| adminewb | Dr_Willis, it is not self-evident to me that the purpose of /var would be incompatible with sharing, but I see what you're saying. | 18:10 |
| lyeeth | grawity, give me a minute | 18:10 |
| Hilikus | thanks guys | 18:10 |
| dotblank | if you dont care about security you could chmod -R 777 /media/drive | 18:10 |
| Dr_Willis | adminewb: var has a lot of other machine specic lock and cache files. Proberly not a good canidate to make 'shared' by other machines | 18:11 |
| grawity | lyeeth: (IRC tends to have a lot of problems with encodings.) | 18:11 |
| jb0nd38372 | ok,. let me see if i understand, i need to change permissions on my /mnt/<directory> for each drive, so that i have ownership and that will give me full r/w access? | 18:11 |
| ikonia | Dr_Willis: is this for multiple installs ? | 18:11 |
| dotblank | jb0nd38372, correct | 18:11 |
| laeg | grawity: done ty, but now empathy isn't prompting me to import accounts from pidgin | 18:11 |
| lyeeth | grawity, well, what i wrote was utf8, and yeah, its supposed to look weird :P | 18:11 |
| dotblank | jb0nd38372, although are you using fstab? | 18:11 |
| adminewb | Dr_Willis, true, but /var/run and /var/lock do not get shared regardless, those appear to be special non-filesystems | 18:11 |
| Dr_Willis | ikonia: i just recall over the years never to set up the network machines to use /etc/ and /var/ from a single server. | 18:11 |
| grawity | lyeeth: *shrug* I have utf8 too, but. | 18:12 |
| jb0nd38372 | dotblank, how can I check to see if i'm using fstab? | 18:12 |
| dury | hey guys is it possible to do videoconference under hardy using pidgin | 18:12 |
| dotblank | jb0nd38372, ok then you are not using fstab | 18:12 |
| Dr_Willis | adminewb: id just share home and leave it at that really. | 18:12 |
| jb0nd38372 | im not really good with cli... last real experience was the dos 3.3 days | 18:12 |
| dotblank | jb0nd38372, you would know | 18:12 |
| ikonia | Dr_Willis: I was about to say only /boot should be shared, /home in certain situations depending on your distros you're sharing | 18:12 |
| ikonia | Dr_Willis: for multi-distro booting /boot sharing is a must | 18:12 |
| PND | No one can help me :/ ? Where should I go for my sound card problem ? | 18:12 |
| adminewb | Dr_Willis, so no sharing of /tmp either, even if the multiple installations never run all at once? | 18:12 |
| Dr_Willis | ikonia: why would you want to share /boot/ :) but I THINK the term 'share' is getting missused a lot here... | 18:13 |
| ikonia | Dr_Willis: so that only one menu file is maintained and only one grub install is maintained | 18:13 |
| ActionParsnip | yo yo yo | 18:13 |
| dury | PND: what's wrong? | 18:13 |
| Dr_Willis | adminewb: if using differnt disrtos on the same machine.. I wouldent let them access each others /var/ or /whatever except perhaps for /home and even THEN you may have issues depending on the disrtos | 18:13 |
| PND | dury, I have problem with my sound card : First, often at boot I don't have sound... Second, I get a lot of that message in my syslog : Dec 7 19:03:46 blackblue kernel: [ 639.831518] hda-intel: spurious response 0x0:0x0, last cmd=0x170503. My sound card is VT1708/A. What should I do ? | 18:13 |
| ikonia | Dr_Willis: 2 grubs installs = 2 menu.lst on two seperate boot partitions, but grub will only use one and the other OS will update the wrong one | 18:13 |
| adminewb | ikonia, I'm sharing /home among ubuntu builds only, all one architecture | 18:13 |
| ward- | where can i give suggestions for the future / updates ? | 18:14 |
| dotblank | jb0nd38372, you can alos just change ownership of the drive to you but then you will have problems if any other users try to access it unless you allow r/w for all users | 18:14 |
| ikonia | adminewb: then you should be also sharing /boot in my opinion or your grub maintainence will be very very hard | 18:14 |
| ActionParsnip | can someone with a broadcom 43xx wifi card please pastebin me the output of: sudo lshw -C network thanks | 18:14 |
| Dr_Willis | adminewb: i dont see much point in having diffrent ubuntu builds installed on the same machine really. :) but whatever you want.. heh | 18:14 |
| PND | Is there another channel where I should go for having help (maybe this channel is too generic ?) ? | 18:14 |

| EntropyMonster | *hardware drivers | 18:15 |
| ward- | arand: ActionParsnip well its just a small suggestion to make computers with enabled nvidia drivers run "nvidia-settings --load-config-only" on startup | 18:15 |
| dotblank | sounds like a soundcard issue and maybe alsa related... #alsa should help but they expect you to read their website's faqs and such before asking | 18:15 |
| PND | grawity, dotblank, ok, thanks | 18:16 |
| ActionParsnip | ward-: yeah go log it on brainstorm and / or bug report | 18:16 |
| Dr_Willis | adminewb: ive gone all 64bit now on all my machines.. i can only think of a few trivial issues ive had with 64bit. | 18:16 |
| adminewb | ikonia, 32 bit and 64 bit have separate /boot, which may not make the most sense | 18:16 |
| ikonia | adminewb: no - you will have a lot of problems with that | 18:16 |
| ward- | arand: ActionParsnip if this is not run then color correction is not laded, and possibly other stuff aswell | 18:16 |

| ^workman^ | adminewb: are you building heavy CPU based apps or something? if not, why not use a VM? for the different ARCH's? | 18:17 |
| grawity | lyeeth: I have a feeling that it is your terminal with UTF-8 disabled... Is it PuTTY? | 18:17 |
| ward- | ActionParsnip: how can the colorcorrection not be loaded if you did not change it...... its default..... | 18:17 |
| ikonia | Threetimes: may I pm you for a moment please ? | 18:17 |
| khensthoth | PND: And here're some really comprehensive sound solution/guide http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=843012 | 18:17 |
| Dr_Willis | adminewb: then why bother with 64bit at all - what are you really gaining by having both? | 18:17 |
| lyeeth | grawity, its not the terminal, its the same when i log in at the machine | 18:17 |
| lyeeth | grawity, but yeah, its putty | 18:17 |
| PND | khensthoth, upgrade done, Should I reboot ? | 18:17 |
| ward- | ActionParsnip: if i change it, and then reboot the corrections are no longer present | 18:17 |
| jb0nd38372 | ok good.. this is not as hard as I had thought.. my friends told me i wuold never get anywhere with linux. Maybe i can prove them wrong. | 18:18 |
| Threetimes | ikonia: yes | 18:18 |
| ward- | ActionParsnip: for them to be loaded i need to run either "nvidia-settings --load-config-only" or without the flag | 18:18 |
| dury | PND: I guess your have to search the proper driver | 18:18 |
| khensthoth | PND: Yes | 18:18 |
| arand | ward-: that'd probably be best of as a bug report I think "This should be the default". | 18:18 |
| PND | dury, it used to work fine :/ | 18:18 |
| adminewb | ^workman^, I haven't dug into qemu-kvm, looks too hard to set up | 18:18 |
| mielo | salve | 18:18 |
| ward- | ActionParsnip: not a lot of people use this thats probably how the little bug got in | 18:18 |
| PND | khensthoth, ok, be right back then. | 18:18 |
| dotblank | PND, oh... | 18:18 |
| ^workman^ | admineweb: try VirtualBox | 18:18 |
| ward- | arand: ok thanx | 18:18 |
| grawity | lyeeth: But still, try this... Ctrl+RightClick on the PuTTY window, choose "Change Settings". Go to Window --> Translation. Enter "UTF-8" as character set. Click Apply. Then run the 'ls' command again. | 18:18 |
| K|nG | Do works the Windows things like example PHONE drivers and anything other to ubuntu ? | 18:18 |
| ActionParsnip | ward-: sounds like the case to me, i'd log it | 18:18 |
| Dr_Willis | K|nG: rephrase that question.. it dident make any sence. | 18:19 |
| dury | reboot it as khensthoth said | 18:19 |
| ward- | ActionParsnip: ok i will after my smoke, dunno my username and pass anymore... lol | 18:19 |
| dotblank | K|nG, ? | 18:19 |

| grawity | lyeeth: And even when you login locally, the GNOME Terminal has a "Character set" menu under Tools. | 18:20 |

| ActionParsnip | ward-: ask in #freenode for password resets | 18:20 |

| lyeeth | grawity, its server, i dont have a gui :) | 18:20 |
| Dr_Willis | GodfatherofEire: the conky web site/forums/faq detail the proper ways to launch conky to work with gnome. | 18:20 |

| khensthoth | PND: Cool. | 18:21 |
| GodfatherofEire | Dr_Willis, Ah, I just thought if you seemed to know what the problem was that you might have been familiar with it. My mistake. | 18:21 |
| binky | still not workin | 18:21 |
| adminewb | Dr_Willis, the 64 bit setup was intended to confirm that my hardware supports that | 18:21 |
| Threetimes | Hi, is there a christmas screensaver for ubuntu? | 18:21 |
| GodfatherofEire | trism: thanks | 18:21 |
| khensthoth | PND: Bookmark those two forum links I gave you. They are REALLY helpful. | 18:21 |
| dury | PND: thanks to khensthoth | 18:21 |
| usser | K|nG, it should be just detected as a mass storage device. also if it has bluetooth its even better | 18:21 |
| K|nG | For putty need to upgrade or the laste version have it integrated | 18:21 |
| K|nG | ? | 18:21 |
| trism | GodfatherofEire: actually the problem is conky likes to write to the root window and so does nautilus, so you need to give your conky windows their own windows in gnome instead of writing to the root window | 18:21 |
| dotblank | K|nG, What you do need however is a program to transfer over the serial line which is usually done in a program called bitpim | 18:21 |
| arand | ward-: however, if it's all done in the binary driver then it might have to be adressed at nvidia, but in this case I guess it could be packaged to do it. | 18:21 |
| binky | it like gets to the boot menu then freezes | 18:21 |
| PND | khensthoth, it's done :) | 18:21 |
| binky | when u press install | 18:22 |
| ikonia | Threetimes: no, not unless one is packaged with xscreensaver or gnome screensaver (which I don't remember seeing) | 18:22 |
| K|nG | Nice :D | 18:22 |
| GodfatherofEire | trism, ah, but would that display it as a frame or an actual window? | 18:22 |
| ward- | arand: nono lol, ubuntu can fix this easily afaik :) | 18:22 |

| d0wn | ikonia: thank you so much, hahaha | 18:22 |
| trism | GodfatherofEire: you can hide the window decorations so it will look just like it was writting to the root window, I forget the options though, it is all in the conky docs on their site (and the faq) | 18:22 |

| goldins | is there a way to reconfigure pam without editing the pam files? | 18:27 |
| fabio_ | i know, that's what i've heard. just wanted to know if it has changed since ATI Open sourced | 18:27 |
| dotblank | aeon-ltd, some of the chips are open source and work quite well | 18:27 |
| usser | kaeser_, you can set default kernel there, but the actual config file is /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 18:27 |
| fabio_ | but i want a Dell and Dell seems to be in bed with ATI | 18:27 |
| khensthoth | dury: PPA for adding that application https://launchpad.net/~loell/+archive/ppa | 18:27 |
| dotblank | especially on laptops.. its like magic | 18:27 |
| kaeser_ | usser, thks | 18:27 |
| usser | kaeser_, its not recommended that you edit grub.cfg directly | 18:27 |
| aeon-ltd | fabio_: isn't there a integrated intel option? | 18:28 |
| kaeser_ | What should I do so? | 18:28 |
| fabio_ | yes. but i intend to dual boot with Windows for games, and play blu ray in full hd. | 18:28 |

| aeon-ltd | fabio_: i was suggesting to buy a nvidia card separatly | 18:29 |
| ^workman^ | adminewb: as I said, use the model numbers and manufature names for the hardware. | 18:29 |
| dotblank | phpstar, like NetworkManager? | 18:29 |
| ActionParsnip | phpstar: network-manager is part of a standard install | 18:29 |
| fabio_ | aeon: i can't really, they are laptops. i dont have the knowledge to replace that plus it would void the warranty | 18:29 |
| Dr_Willis | games and laptops.. :) heh heh... | 18:29 |
| fabio_ | so i guess i should just find one with an Nvidia Card? like an ACER? less headaches? | 18:29 |
| apocalypt | kaeser_: i guess u should do it in /etc/default/grub.....if u edit the grub.cfg after kernel update u loose all configuration | 18:29 |

| Brucevdk | Hi, running Jaunty (9.04), starting since a few days ago I'm having problems with GVFS mounts (FTP specifically right now). When I edit files with either Geany or even nano I get the error "Input/output error" and the file is essentially deleted (0 bytes). The only editor that manages to save anything properly is Gedit, but I think that has something to do with the fact that it also supported GNOME VFS. | 18:35 |
| Dr_Willis | kaeser_: either /etc/default/grub or one on /etc/grub.d/* | 18:35 |
| enherit | Jamed: after | 18:35 |
| usser | arooni-mobile, why not just write a script that does that, doesnt have to be alias | 18:35 |
| Dr_Willis | thevishy: theres several companies that sell ubuntu installed laptops | 18:36 |

| thevishy | it saves about 50 usd | 18:36 |

| fluxnuk3r | hey guys, I'm trying to install Ubuntu, and as I am most accustomed to Slackware, not being able to simply edit the boot line for the install CD is killing me. My hardware is rather troublesome, and I have to add the parameters "pci=nomsi" and "pci=nopcmcia" for the distro to read my hard drive, however, editing this line in ubuntu has not made any difference, can I get some suggestions? | 18:38 |
| addisonj | ? mirrorlist | 18:38 |
| hennessy | hmm, i'm kind of new... PA? | 18:38 |
| laeg | are you all using empathy instead of pidgin now? | 18:38 |

| Axz | Guys how to change this? "mount: block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only" | 18:38 |

| addisonj | ah lol | 18:39 |

| Axz | Becauae i can't burn anything | 18:39 |
| fluxnuk3r | addisonj, I have added the lines to the boot line, but it doesn't seen to make any difference, adduser fails with error 11 and everything goes downhill from there | 18:39 |

| thevishy | and file system type of this is msdos | 19:11 |

| wegi | hi there, i want to customize a live cd for an older laptop w/o hdd, but would need to have a homedir on an usb stick to make some customizations and work with it. It's meant as a temporary solution to a real PC. Can anybody give me some hints, names, keywords for that kind of configuration to google for. I can't find anything about it (the usb home dir thing). Thanks | 19:12 |
| perlmonkey2 | wep is not "good enough". You might as well not be using encryption. | 19:12 |
| apocalypt | encryption is just needed in the connection step | 19:13 |

| leshaste | ckw: that's not right. I want only the installed packages | 19:57 |
| leshaste | trism: thanks.. trying it now | 19:57 |
| daftykins | alabd: 500 means only root can view methinks, i suggest you google permissions because if you're setting a folder up so other users can read, that's not going to do it | 19:57 |

| Alan502 | Hi :) i was playing with aircrack but now my wireless doesn't work. I cannot activate it from the network manager. Althought, the wired connection still works. How do i enable my wireless again? | 20:01 |
| maco | djwhiplash: it depends on the software | 20:02 |
| Jamed | mneptok: not for folders there its 500 if you still want to be able to use them | 20:02 |
| maco | djwhiplash: some things are gpl2, some gpl3, some mpl... | 20:02 |
| daftykins | Alan502: check your wireless interface isn't mentioned in /etc/network/interfaces | 20:02 |
| maco | djwhiplash: the kernel, for example, is gpl2, but im sure many of the gnu tools are gpl3 | 20:02 |
| djwhiplash | ahh alright, that makes sense... thanks :) | 20:02 |
| mneptok | Jamed: if you want to be able to open folders, they need the execute bit set. 500 is read/execute. read-only is 400. | 20:02 |

| Jamed | alabd: there is r d_r_-x... | 20:09 |

| daftykins | dAlfa89_: pastebin your lspci output and link it here | 20:09 |
| Seveas | ^workman^, probably. Never used it myself but it looks very similar to debmirror | 20:10 |

| ^workman^ | Seveas: cool ok ty. That's what I was going to use =) | 20:10 |

| Trizicus | Seveas: Thanks | 20:10 |
| daftykins | dAlfa89_: oh, nothing from "ifconfig -a" ? | 20:10 |
| Alan502 | through the eth0 yes, aeon-ltd ; it seems that eth0 is working alright but wlan0 is the only one with trouble | 20:10 |
| superpaco | anyone knows why 9.10 is karmanic??? | 20:10 |
| Seveas | superpaco, the name 'Karmic Koala' was decided by Mark Shuttleworth | 20:10 |
| Trizicus | Seveas: This helps me a lot :) | 20:11 |
| Alan502 | aeon-ltd, i am connected through the internet, by the wired interface | 20:11 |
| superpaco | Seveas, and what does it means? | 20:11 |
| balau | jonz_, if you are connecting with a ftp "active" client, do you have you opened port TCP 20 on the firewall? | 20:11 |
| Seveas | superpaco, a Koala with great Karma :) | 20:11 |
| ^workman^ | lol | 20:11 |

| theicyj | SIM_EU: did you install the nvidia-drivers? | 20:22 |
| SIM_EU | theicyi yes | 20:23 |
| SIM_EU | theicyi NVIDIA X Server Settings | 20:23 |
| daftykins | Leoneof`: ah, i know CLI only i'm afraid | 20:23 |
| Seveas | Yos, possible reason: filesystem messed up because you unplugged it without unmounting. | 20:23 |
| Seveas | Yos, unmount it and run fsck on it. | 20:23 |
| Leoneof` | daftykins: oh :( | 20:23 |
| theicyj | SIM_EU: Does the display show up in the Nvidia settings manager? | 20:23 |
| hanosha | hello how to install beryl | 20:24 |

| Yos | Seveas, how do I run fsck on it ? | 20:24 |

| Seveas | Yos, fsck /dev/yourusbdiskhere | 20:24 |
| hanosha | so how i got it now | 20:24 |
| hanosha | how i will get it | 20:24 |
| Shurakai | Seveas you made my day | 20:25 |
| Shurakai | it works :) | 20:25 |
| daftykins | hanosha: what ubuntu version are you in? | 20:25 |
| iceroot | hanosha: please use one line for a detailed question | 20:25 |
| laeg | !sound | 20:25 |
| ubottu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 20:25 |
| Seveas | Shurakai, excellent :) | 20:25 |
| hanosha | 2.4.1 | 20:25 |
| Shurakai | i was actually thinking about reloading the mouse driver but i was looking somewhere at usb* | 20:25 |
| daftykins | that's not an ubuntu version | 20:26 |
| theicyj | SIM_EU: Did you try changing NVIDIA drivers to the latest? If I recall, there were two restricted drivers available, and an older one was used by default. Did you try the newer one? | 20:26 |
| Shurakai | but i actually don't know what i do when it happens, so how could i provide information on this? | 20:26 |
| SIM_EU | theicyi where do i see that ? | 20:26 |
| Cube`` | hey | 20:26 |
| ^workman^ | hanosha: click "system->preferences->appearance" then click the tab "visual Effects" | 20:26 |
| theicyj | SIM_EU: System -> Administration - > Hardware drivers | 20:27 |
| SIM_EU | theicyi only shows version 185(recomended) wich i have installed and then version 173 | 20:28 |
| Subby | hi, is there a tiny picture viewer? eye of gnome doesnt recognize if a picture file that is opened changes | 20:28 |
| Cube`` | hey guys listen: finch is pidgin (libpurple) but text. i want to be able to access the finch running on my computer1 from computer2, and by access i mean that i want to be able to use computer1, type a message, then go to computer2 and have exactly the same terminal screen in front of me, and type message two. i tried it with ssh, but when starting finch on computer2, it starts a COMPLETELY NEW INSTANCE. that's not what i want. any ideas? | 20:29 |
| Shurakai | Seveas, if I want to file this problem, what information do I need to include? I really don't know when this problem occurs | 20:30 |
| Roasted | Question - In Dolphin within KDE, I have advanced permissions options, like the ability to set the GID of the folder. Is there anyway I can do that in Nautilus? | 20:30 |
| Shurakai | Roasted, without sudo'ing? | 20:30 |
| daftykins | Cube``: you want to be able to chat to someone else using the same program? may i ask why you can't use another solution? | 20:30 |
| theicyj | SIM_EU: Maybe try running sudo nvidia-settings | 20:30 |
| Alan502 | Hi :) i was playing with aircrack but now my wireless doesn't work. I cannot activate it from the network manager. Althought, the wired connection still works. How do i enable my wireless again? | 20:30 |
| Roasted | shurakai - dolphin does it without sudoing - I assume nautilus could to... if the option is there. | 20:31 |
| Seveas | Shurakai, exact symptomps, the workaround used, make and model of the hardware, lsusb output (if it's a usb mouse), relevant lines from /var/log/{messages,syslog} and dmesg | 20:31 |
| leaf-sheep | Cube``: You want screen, me think. (or byobu) | 20:31 |
| Cube`` | daftykins: no. it's more like vnc what i want, but its all just text, just a terminal, so i dont want any full-blown vnc stuff | 20:31 |
| ronin_ | guys where to find can office 2007 | 20:32 |
| Cube`` | leaf-sheep: yeah somebody told me screen might be the solution! but what should i type where? | 20:32 |
| daftykins | Cube``: what's the ultimate goal though, what do you want to achieve? | 20:32 |
| maco | ronin_: im sure you can buy it in your local computer or office supply shop | 20:32 |
| Roasted | shurakai - I do have to be owner of the folder in dolphin to do it without sudo though. I was just hoping I could integrate advanced options within nautilus. | 20:32 |
| leaf-sheep | ronin_: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/default.aspx | 20:32 |
| Seveas | ronin_, any decent computer store. | 20:32 |
| theicyj | SIM_EU: another suggestiong would be to run "sudo nvidia-xconfig" then "sudo nvidia-settings" | 20:32 |
| Yos | Seveas, looks like I have to format it...how to do that | 20:32 |
| Seveas | Yos, sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/yourusbdrivehere | 20:32 |
| SIM_EU | theicyi didn't work | 20:33 |
| leaf-sheep | Cube``: Mmm. Start a screen by typing screen (or byobu). You will need to learn few screen commands. | 20:33 |
| franc | clear | 20:33 |
| Seveas | Yos, make sure you get the devicepath right or you'll wipe something you don't want to wipe :) | 20:33 |
| Alan502 | Any kde docks recommended? im looking for something similar to "stardock" in windows | 20:33 |
| ronin_ | yes microsoft thanx | 20:33 |
| Cube`` | leaf-sheep: ok done | 20:33 |
| Yos | Seveas, how can I know what is my usb device in /dev ? | 20:33 |
| leaf-sheep | Cube``: http://quadpoint.org/articles/irssi#learning_screen | 20:34 |
| ^workman^ | Yos, double check your device with "fdisk -l". look for your USB drive | 20:34 |
| theicyj | SIM_EU: So the screen shows up, but when you enable it and apply, you have no picture? Are you trying twinview mode? | 20:34 |
| superpaco | any know if firefox portable can be installed on Ubuntu 9.10??? | 20:34 |

| hanosha | how can i install beryl in ubuntu 9.10 | 20:35 |
| duffydack | oh, you're formatting it, so its not mounted..oops | 20:35 |

| Alan502 | i get "SIOCSIFFLAGS: Unkonw errror 132" when i try to "ifconfig wlan0 up" what can be wrong? | 20:35 |
| leaf-sheep | Cube``: It is great if you're copying stuffs or format in screen instead of the terminal (or ssh) because if you log out in ssh or close the terminal, the programs close. :( | 20:35 |
| guntbert | superpaco: the "portable apps" are windows only - as far as I know | 20:35 |
| Shurakai | Roasted, I don't know, didn't use that feature until now. | 20:35 |
| SIM_EU | theicyi the screen shows up, i enable and apply and it takes efect on the pc but on the TV is just black like before | 20:35 |
| superpaco | yes it looks like | 20:36 |
| superpaco | :( | 20:36 |
| leaf-sheep | Cube``: byobu is same as screen. It recently renamed itself to byobu to disassociate itself from screen, me think. | 20:36 |
| theicyj | SIM_EU: stupid question, but is the TV set to the correct input? | 20:36 |
| magpie | Hi folks, Ubuntu newbie here _ downloaded a couple of games via the Synaptic Download manager but they have not appeared in the applications/games folder. Where would they be? | 20:36 |
| superpaco | why people does not think on the biggest open source comunity ??????? | 20:36 |
| trism | Cube``: you can do byobu (or screen) -x to attach to an already running session, so if I start screen on computer one, and ssh in from computer two, I can attach to the attached screen with byobu -x | 20:36 |
| leaf-sheep | Cube``: sudo aptitude install byobu ; try "screen" If that does not work, then "byobu" | 20:36 |
| Seveas | magpie, if they are console games they will not appear in there | 20:36 |
| Cube`` | trism: how do i attach! | 20:37 |
| ronin_ | hey guys how many office 2007 to your country | 20:37 |

| DyGyTyL | i have no idea what it is but dood said 3 times that it merged try getting the compiz fusion and tinkering with that i would imagine :P | 20:42 |
| apocalypt | anli_: i guess through the options of the filebrowser | 20:42 |
| Seveas | Alan502, what kind of wireless card/chip is it? | 20:42 |
| osmosis_ | how do I determine what package owns a installed file? | 20:42 |

| hanosha | Flannel compizconfig-settings-manager how i can get in to it ? | 20:55 |
| BlackFate | damjanzg, 9.10? | 20:56 |
| aar | damjanzg, you need to reset grub with a live cd | 20:56 |
| damjanzg | yes | 20:56 |
| ^workman^ | Yos: you can't mkfs on a raw disk. it has to have a partition. | 20:56 |
| Flannel | hanosha: Did you install it? (sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager) after you install it, It sits under System > Preferences, but I'm not sure of the exact menu entry, It should say compiz and settings if I remember properly | 20:56 |
| BlackFate | damjanzg, why dont you try .. sudo update-grub and see if it adds any entry for windows | 20:56 |
| damjanzg | I will try | 20:56 |
| aar | damjanzg, check this URL out for instructions: | 20:56 |
| Yos | ^workman^, I'm trying to format a thumb drive...no partitions | 20:57 |

| _CommandeR_ | is there a need to defrag ext4? | 20:57 |

| Seveas | _CommandeR_, not really | 20:57 |
| ^workman^ | Yos: yes I understand. but the drive has to have a partition to format. so run fdisk /dev/sdc, n, 1 p, "hit enter 2x", press w. then mkfs.vfat /dev/sdc1 | 20:58 |
| Beezie | aar, doesn'y 9.10 use grub2? | 20:58 |
| _CommandeR_ | Seveas, but if i have ntfs partitions is there any app to defrag them ? | 20:58 |
| damjanzg | I think that sudo update-grub worked. Tnx. I am going to try reboot. Dont wory I will not stay on win:) | 20:58 |
| _CommandeR_ | or do i need to boot into windows? | 20:58 |
| weq | I'm having troubles installing ubuntu to sda. I have xp already installed on sdb. When I get to the partition step sda aren't a viable option. No disks are listed. | 20:58 |

| Leoneof` | Beezie: wicd can work for one wireless, i want for two wireless | 21:11 |
| weq | apocalypt: when I start the install in live mode I get a minimized version of the installer. And when I get to the partition step it is basically no info at all. | 21:11 |

| hdtdi | hello can someone tells me what does hdtdi@SocialEvil:~$ ssh 94.236.147.89 -p 2222 | 21:11 |

| hdtdi | means ? | 21:11 |
| Beezie | Leoneof`, sorry i assumed it could handle two | 21:11 |
| Seveas | ipatrol, depends on the behavior you want. Maybe a FIFO will do, maybe you'll have to write a kernel module :) | 21:12 |
| ipatrol | what's a FIFO? | 21:12 |
| apocalypt | start the install from CD not from live enviroment | 21:12 |
| mheg | is there any way to remove all hardlinks to a certain file if I delete one? | 21:12 |
| Seveas | ipatrol, a file that behaves like a pipe | 21:12 |
| Leoneof` | Beezie: if you know any software can handle two wireless, just let me know please ^_^ | 21:12 |
| weq | apocalypt: doesn't matter where I start it from, still shows the same information | 21:12 |
| tsimpson | hdtdi: ssh is a tool to remotely login to another system, that commands attempts to connect to the IP on port 2222 and login with the user "hdtdi" | 21:13 |
| Seveas | ipatrol, what is it you want the file to behave like? | 21:13 |
| Beezie | Leoneof`, np im curious myself :) | 21:13 |
| weq | apocalypt: but just to do exactly what u say gimmie a minute. | 21:13 |
| tsimpson | hdtdi: the error is probably due to the remote server rejecting your authentication | 21:13 |
| Seveas | hdtdi, it means whatever listens on port 2222 there closes the connection before you have authenticated yourself. Are you sure it is an SSHD that is listening there? | 21:13 |
| javabean73 | vik, easiest way is to open /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf with a text-editor and add a line 'blacklist rt73usb' (without quotes) | 21:14 |
| hdtdi | Seveas, the deal is that i have vista with virtualbox and i think i was manage to redirect port 2222 from vista to port 22 on ubuntu.. | 21:14 |

Mouse is not functional during installation (tried 4 different mice) and then I have to click forward but can't. And at that point keyboard seems non-responsive. | 21:15 |
| weq- | it is the only 2 disks I have in my pc atm. And sdb has the ntfs partitions. | 21:15 |
| javabean73 | vik, sorry have no experience with ndiswrapper | 21:16 |
| Seveas | caper, could be a busted CD. | 21:16 |

| apocalypt | weq-: if it doesn't work try to connect the new HDD to the SATA 1 and the Windows to SATA2 | 21:16 |

| vik | javabean73, ok, where should I add a line to that file, It has lots of lines there? | 21:18 |
| ipatrol_ | Say I wanted to create a file called /dev/randbool that upon reading gives an arbritrary number of bites from the program /bin/randbool | 21:18 |
| weq | apocalypt: sorry now I remember why I can't see any disks at all. I had enabled nodmraid thingy. | 21:18 |

| _CommandeR_ | caper, go down the menu and check the cd for issues. | 21:23 |
| apocalypt | under manually partitioning if there is a free disk u can choose this disk for creating the swap and the ext4 partition | 21:23 |
| caper | _CommandeR_, no hitches but really only doing down arrow and enter and such. If I attempt to boot off the cd into the temp ubuntu installation the keyboard and mouse won't work there. But, it's not frozen since clock works and after a min a h/w driver message comes up | 21:23 |
| weq | they aren't labeled as disks normally are /dev/sdX etc. | 21:23 |

| CyberGabber | caper: Maybe this could put you in the right direction...http://www.mailinglistarchive.com/ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com/msg98953.html | 21:29 |
| apocalypt | grub must be written in first 1024 sectors of a disk i guess | 21:30 |
| weq | so why does it insist the raid my discs? I don't have an option to NOT use that. | 21:30 |
| ActionParsnip | weq: is raid enabled in the BIOS? | 21:31 |

| apocalypt | Ubuntu 9.10 comes with Grub2 | 21:37 |
| blahblah_x | ActionParsnip: thats it? theres no special packages in the netbook install? | 21:37 |
| apocalypt | look for /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 21:37 |
| Seveas | apocalypt, but if you upgrade from 9.04 or earlier, grub will not be upgraded | 21:37 |
| weq | apocalypt: I don't lie :( booting into live then. | 21:37 |
| ActionParsnip | blahblah_x: sorry | 21:37 |
| ZykoticK9 | Schroeder__, sorry i don't... I haven't used ATI for YEARS (there weren't even Catalyst drivers at the time) | 21:37 |
| weq | Seveas: clean install, no upgrade. | 21:37 |
| albertolempira | hey guys, i'm looking for a stream directory browser app like streamtuner, do somebody know one? thanks in advance | 21:37 |
| Schroeder__ | No worries. Sigh | 21:37 |

| apocalypt | yeah Seveas but weq did a clean install | 21:37 |
| Seveas | apocalypt, well then just ignore me :) | 21:38 |
| apocalypt | Seveas i would never do this | 21:38 |
| apocalypt | :) | 21:38 |

| apocalypt | weq is your controller listet in ubuntu hardwarelist? | 21:38 |

| Teleken | so more questions about 4GB -> I have ubuntu 9 x64 installed. Bios sees 4GB, Windows sees 4GB, Ubuntu sees 3.2GB. I have no bios option to remap the memory, so what other options do I have for ubuntu? | 21:40 |
| blahblah_x | ActionParsnip: so the launcher is gnome. thank you for your help! | 21:40 |
| discopatrick | how would you recommend browsing the contents of ubuntu server from a mac? all i can see is samba, but that's for windows | 21:40 |
| apocalypt | weq https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport | 21:41 |
| ActionParsnip | blahblah_x: np man | 21:41 |
| ActionParsnip | blahblah_x: xubuntu uses gtk like gnome | 21:41 |
| weq | it's not listed no. | 21:42 |

| adam___ | ive added a directory to my path so if im my user the command works, if im root the command works but if i sudo command it can't find it. where else do i need to add the path? | 21:43 |
| thrope | are default options for mkfs.ext4 ok or any thing I should add? just trying it out for the first time | 21:43 |
| weq | apocalypt: it claims to be nvidia atleast not sure it is nforce4 though. | 21:43 |
| SliMM | what would you suggest to do when the bootloader won't boot ubuntu anymore after a failed suspend? | 21:43 |
| Seveas | adam___, sudo always resets the path for security reasons. | 21:43 |

| Schroeder__ | Even in ATI's menu, it won't go past 1440x900 | 21:45 |
| jagjr | Can someone help me :) | 21:45 |
| Seveas | SliMM, it's probably trying to restore. You can stop it from doing that by booting from a livecd and reformatting your swap partition (where it now stores the suspended system). This will wipe the stored status though, so it'll be like a fresh boot. | 21:45 |
| SliMM | Seveas: I'll try that, thanks | 21:46 |
| jagjr | Can someone help me fix mysql because it isnt working. ? | 21:46 |
| jagjr | this is the error i get http://pastebin.com/m66755f97 | 21:46 |
| apocalypt | jagjr: was there another mysql server on this machine before? | 21:47 |
| jagjr | Yes, the mysql was broken so i used sudo apt-get remove mysql* | 21:47 |
| Seveas | jagjr, err, you can't run mysql 5.0 with 5.1 datafiles. You'll have to install 5.1 | 21:47 |

| tazz | my / partition is on ext4 filesystem. I would like to extend it. Is it possible? Because i cant unmount / So i will have to use a live cd correct ? | 21:48 |
| jagjr | how do i sort it out then? | 21:48 |
| Flannel | tazz: Correct | 21:48 |
| Seveas | jagjr, also, more detailed information lives in /var/log/mysql.err, pastebin that | 21:49 |
| ZykoticK9 | Teleken, that doesn't make much sense - 3.2 is the max for 32bit (with PAU or PAE or whatever it's called) - my 4G shows completely when i use the "free" command on my 64bit?! | 21:49 |
| tazz | Flannel, also I have kubuntu 9.04 live cd. And i cant fined partitonmanafer or gparted. | 21:49 |
| tazz | any other way to do this ? | 21:49 |
| SliMM | Seveas: hmm, it seems that this computer has ubuntu installed with wubi... | 21:49 |
| ZykoticK9 | Teleken, s/with/without | 21:49 |
| holmser | hmm... did zlib get changed in 9.10? | 21:49 |
| Ademan | will kvm still work on a p4? i know it won't have those nifty paravirtualization instructions, but will it work? | 21:49 |
| Seveas | SliMM, ugh ok. | 21:49 |
| holmser | I can't seem to get it to work | 21:50 |
| Teleken | ZykoticK9: hence why I'm here asking for help :) | 21:50 |
| Flannel | tazz: I don't know if 9.04 will be able to successfully handle ext4, you might want to grab 9.10 | 21:50 |
| ZykoticK9 | Ademan, kvm requires the virtualization in chip -- check out qemu or virtualbox | 21:50 |
| jagjr | Seveas , there is nothing in that file | 21:50 |
| SliMM | Seveas: no ideas in this case? | 21:51 |
| tazz | Flannel, my question is how do i resize my ext4 partition if i cant find gparted or partition manager? | 21:51 |
| AlexanderSupertr | hi guys | 21:51 |
| ZykoticK9 | Ademan, to verify if you have virtu-in-chip you can use "cat /proc/cpuinfo" and for intel you should see vmx if it's present | 21:51 |
| Flannel | tazz: gparted should be on the liveCD, but even if it's not, you can install it. | 21:51 |
| Teleken | ZykoticK9: free-m shows 3135MB; /proc/meminfo shows 3210580KB; uname-m shows x86_64; /proc/cpuinfo shows 36bits physical address space | 21:51 |

| holmser | I'm trying to comile a program, and it keeps telling me "zlib not found" | 21:52 |
| Seveas | jagjr, check other files in /var/log for mysql-ish things | 21:52 |
| AlexanderSupertr | starts the app, but then says some application error | 21:52 |

| adam___ | what does the && . mean in the following command: "sudo test -f /etc/default/god && . /etc/default/god" ? | 21:52 |
| AlexanderSupertr | am i using the command correctly? | 21:52 |
| jagjr | Seveas , i have.. nothing there. How do i do a fresh install? | 21:52 |
| AlexanderSupertr | it starts the app | 21:52 |
| holmser | but it is installed... zlib1g and zlibc | 21:52 |
| tazz | Flannel, ok will try that thanks. | 21:52 |
| SliMM | Seveas: ok, thanks | 21:52 |
| jagjr | seveas , of Mysql..... | 21:52 |
| VCoolio | holmser: did you try packages ending with -dev? those are required when compiling | 21:52 |
| Flannel | adam___: `command1 && command2` will perform command2 if command1 exits successfully (returning 0) | 21:52 |
| holmser | ahh | 21:53 |
| holmser | gotcha | 21:53 |
| adam___ | oh okay | 21:53 |
| holmser | also... another quick question | 21:53 |
| ZykoticK9 | Teleken, just an FYI but my cpuinfo show 40bit physical address space (48 bits virtual)??? no help i understand... | 21:53 |

| SliMM | ok, so, does anyone know what to do if ubuntu (installed with wubi) fails to start after a suspend? | 21:53 |
| Seveas | jagjr, /var/log/syslog should definitely have some info about why it failed to start | 21:53 |
| Seveas | holmser, manpages-dev perhaps? | 21:53 |
| Teleken | Zykotick9: I have Core 2 duo, I suspect you have something more recent | 21:53 |

| ZykoticK9 | Teleken, s/curring/currently using | 21:54 |
| jagjr | Seveas, yes it does.. How would i go about removing all of Mysql and doing a fresh install? | 21:54 |
| Seveas | jagjr, if the data currently in mysql is not important to you, you can simply remove all mysql-related packages, do sudo rm -rf /var/lib/mysql and reinstall mysql. This will wipe *all* data currently in the database. | 21:55 |
| Teleken | Zykotick: doesn't really matter, as 36bits is fine. and I love your use of s/x/x - you're the only other person I've seen who uses that for casual talk ;) | 21:55 |

| maco | idle is a nice simple one | 22:06 |

| maco | i was gonna say bluej if for java | 22:06 |
| Alan502 | Seveas, hadent looked if netbeans has a python plugin tho | 22:06 |
| allguru | they say geany is good , right ? | 22:06 |
| maco | *shrug* i like bluej because its just a text editor and a compile button and a run button. i like idle for the same reason | 22:06 |
| allguru | i only tried idle | 22:06 |

| phoenixz | Hi , I need to completely take over a desktop of an ubuntu user, but in a way that he sees the mousepointer moving when I move it. What package can do that? is there a way to force this over SSH (port 22)? | 22:26 |
| phoenixz | or maybe force this over port 443? (I have my reasons) | 22:26 |
| apocalypt | phoenixz: VNC? | 22:27 |
| holmser | yeah... VNC would be the easy way | 22:27 |

| patrick` | hi | 22:31 |
| jtoft | does anyone know how to change you default editor for sudo crontab -e? basically I echo $EDITOR and it's showing xemacs, but when I open it up, I think it's vim.tiny or vim.basic -- any suggestions? | 22:31 |
| jtoft | I mean, it IS opening vim.tiny or vim.basic, and not xemacs. | 22:32 |
| roygbiv | jtoft you can manually start xemacs from a command line? | 22:33 |
| apocalypt | jtoft: u can edit /etc/crontab with every editor | 22:33 |
| jtoft | roygbiv: absolutely. | 22:33 |
| ajhansen | i was transfering files from one usb hdd to another usb hdd when the power went off.. now some files are missing but it still seems that the missing files are taking up space.. is there a way to restore the files? | 22:33 |
| roygbiv | jtoft i'm not sure how crontab uses the environment so you can try setting $VISUAL to xemacs and see if that works | 22:34 |
| jtoft | roygbiv: I'll try that, thanks for the suggestion | 22:34 |
| apocalypt | ajhansen: try to copy all files again. it would be better | 22:35 |
| Deviant42069 | 'ello all | 22:35 |
| Deviant42069 | finally getting ubuntu ^_^ | 22:35 |
| Seveas | Deviant42069, congratulations :) | 22:36 |
| ajhansen | apocalypt: oh yeah sorry - the problem wasen't copying - but moving | 22:36 |
| Deviant42069 | thanks :3 i just have to finish downloading the iso, and figure out how to install it to my external hard drive. | 22:36 |
| ajhansen | apocalypt: now the files doesn't show on either hdd | 22:36 |
| === c is now known as charitwo | ||
| jtoft | yea, I think crontab uses EDITOR, but for some reason when I sudo it's using a different one, both my current user and the root user open crontab with xmeacs, but when I sudo it's giving me a peachy vim.tiny with a screenful of errors | 22:36 |
| holmser | anyone installed wxWidgets on karmic yet? | 22:36 |
| apocalypt | ajhansen: thats really bad | 22:36 |
| holmser | I'm having a hell of a time | 22:37 |
| ajhansen | apocalypt: yeah :D i thought so | 22:37 |
| Alan502 | i've been all the damn day trying to get my wireless work on linux! does anyone know if there are any bugs with the atheros AR5001 wireless network adapter? | 22:37 |
| ajhansen | apocalypt: any chance of retrieving them? | 22:37 |
| apocalypt | did u copy these files with nauthilus or terminal? | 22:38 |
| ajhansen | apocalypt: was moving them with nautilus.. | 22:38 |
| apocalypt | look in the trash | 22:39 |
| ajhansen | apocalypt: the trash is empty | 22:39 |
| roygbiv | Alan502 does your system recognize the device? | 22:39 |
| apocalypt | ~/.trash | 22:39 |
| apocalypt | do crtl+h | 22:39 |
| ajhansen | in nautilus? | 22:40 |
| Alan502 | roygbiv, yes, it gets printed when i run lspci | 22:40 |
| apocalypt | may they are hidden | 22:40 |
| Gordz | :| | 22:40 |
| ajhansen | oh yeah tried that | 22:40 |
| ajhansen | wasen't hidden either | 22:40 |
| === DasEi is now known as alraune | ||
| apocalypt | empty ? | 22:40 |
| Seveas | apocalypt, ~/.local/share/trash nowadays | 22:40 |
| ajhansen | empty yeah | 22:41 |
| apocalypt | ok Seveas | 22:41 |
| apocalypt | :) | 22:41 |
| Alan502 | roygbiv, my problem is that i cannot connect to a wireless network. It worked some days ago, but i cannot longer see avaible networks | 22:41 |
| trism | jtoft: what does /usr/bin/editor point to? the man page says it will use VISUAL or EDITOR, and if neither is set it will fall back on /usr/bin/editor | 22:41 |
| ajhansen | ~/.local/share/trash doesn't excist | 22:41 |
| Seveas | ajhansen, Trash, not trash, sorry | 22:42 |
| Alan502 | sigh | 22:42 |
| roygbiv | Alan502 yea that almost sounds like a hardware problem to me | 22:42 |
| ruffus910 | anybody have a way to set up a media server? | 22:42 |
| Lord-Readman | http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/22854/ | 22:42 |
| ajhansen | Seveas: neither excist ;) | 22:42 |
| ruffus910 | on 9.04? | 22:42 |
| roygbiv | Alan502 i don't think there have been any particular problems with that model nic so only things i can think of are mismatch between static/dhcp, password incorrect, SSID incorrect, or hardware | 22:42 |
| apocalypt | ajhansen: more difficult | 22:42 |
| Seveas | ajhansen, ah well, then you don't have any trash :-) | 22:42 |
| jtoft | trism: you're the man, pointing to vim tiny, changing the simlink now :) | 22:42 |
| roygbiv | ...stuff like that | 22:42 |
| ajhansen | hehe | 22:42 |
| Seveas | tidy boy ;) | 22:43 |
| === Laurenceb is now known as arduino_blofeld | ||
| Alan502 | roygbiv, but my problem is that the wireless doesnt work ONLY in linux. It doesnt work in ubuntu or backtrack; it worked with both some days ago. It works just as it should on windows tho. | 22:43 |
| trism | jtoft: actually you just should need to do a sudo update-alternatives --config editor | 22:43 |
| ajhansen | hmm | 22:43 |
| apocalypt | ajhansen: try this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery | 22:43 |
| roygbiv | jtoft i would highly recommend NOT changing /usr/bin/editor to xemacs :D | 22:43 |
| ajhansen | okay thanks :) | 22:43 |
| ajhansen | im basicly pretty scr*wed | 22:44 |
| Seveas | roygbiv, real men use word as editor | 22:44 |
| === alraune is now known as DasEi | ||
| Alan502 | roygbiv, but i cannot even see avaible networks | 22:44 |
| roygbiv | of course | 22:44 |

| Alan502 | !ping | 22:44 |
| ubottu | Here I am, brain the size of a planet and you expect me to respond to a ping? How depressing. | 22:44 |
| Seveas | !botsnack | 22:44 |
| ubottu | Yum! Err, I mean, APT! | 22:44 |
| roygbiv | Alan502 well then it's probably not hardware but then maybe some of the other config things i mentioned | 22:44 |
| === arduino_blofeld is now known as Laurenceb | ||
| roygbiv | poor ubottu :( | 22:45 |
| d0wn | Anyone happen to know how I would be able to get a video file or something to be able to be piped to a /dev/video0? | 22:45 |
| Alan502 | roygbiv, yes but i cannot even see avaible connections. That eliminates "password incorrect and SSID incorrect" problems from your list | 22:46 |
| Alan502 | roygbiv, i dont know about static/dhcp mismatches tho | 22:46 |
| roygbiv | Alan502 is your access point broadcasting its SSID/ | 22:46 |
| roygbiv | ? | 22:46 |
| benjamin_ | i need help! i recently installed Cairo Dock and in some way I deleted my "system tray" from the upper panel. how do i restore it? | 22:47 |
| apocalypt | d0wn: i guess /dev/video0 is a device like a cam or something like that. if there isn't a memory where u want safe the file? | 22:47 |
| apocalypt | may it's a thinking mistake | 22:47 |
| Alan502 | roygbiv, yes, i can connect to it from windows on the same computer and i can connect to it from other laptops with windows as well | 22:47 |
| d0wn | apocalypt: well, basically I am looking to get a video file to be able to appear as a webcam, so I can stream video to a friend easily | 22:48 |
| Seveas | benjamin_, rightclick on the panel, select add to panel, select notification area | 22:48 |
| Alan502 | roygbiv, It is broadcasting its SSID | 22:48 |
| benjamin_ | Seveas: thanks! :) | 22:48 |
| benjamin_ | it had disapeard from the list so i had to search for "noti..." | 22:49 |
| User-50382 | OK, So I ran "update-rc.d Auto.bash defaults" But i thought it ran once you logged in, It actully runs on the boot up, But my script is one without end, So i cant get to the login window! | 22:49 |
| User-50382 | I'm currently using the ubuntu live cd | 22:49 |
| apocalypt | d0wn: i don't how it could work. try an regular program to stream videos | 22:49 |
| apocalypt | +know | 22:49 |
| rahduke | I installed Winrar thru WINE, after I installed it took over as the default program for opening rar files, I didn't want that so I changed it thru "open with" it still reverted back to Winrar. So i decided to uninstall Winrar to solve my problem, after I removed winrar Ubuntu still tries using it to open my rar files | 22:49 |
| Alan502 | roygbiv, do you have any other ideas? :) | 22:49 |
| rahduke | I've changed the default program 100 times | 22:49 |
| Mike_lifeguard | How can I remove an init script from the rcS.d dirs? Specifically, I don't want mpd to start on bootup. | 22:49 |
| rahduke | and it still tries using winrar which doesnt even exist | 22:49 |
| roygbiv | sorry i don't | 22:50 |
| rahduke | its really frustratingme | 22:50 |
| d0wn | apocalypt: well, I was going to see if anyone knew how to do it, so I could possibly write a program to do it. Basically I was interested in seeing if there was a type of program for Linux like there is for Windows called Manycam, or Webcammax | 22:50 |
| Alan502 | roygbiv, sigh thanks for your help anyway :) | 22:50 |
| roygbiv | yea, wish i had some better ideas | 22:50 |
| apocalypt | rahduke: right click a rar file "open with" choose another program and check for standard program | 22:50 |
| rahduke | apocalypt: lol thats the 1st thing i tried | 22:51 |
| rahduke | i'm not a n00b | 22:51 |
| rahduke | been using ubuntu since 6.04 | 22:51 |
| Alan502 | i think i'll be forced to reinstall Royall | 22:51 |
| Alan502 | sorry not Royall , roygbiv | 22:51 |
| Alan502 | thanks | 22:51 |
| rahduke | there is no option in gconf-editor or in nautilus settings to change this, i'm really freaking out | 22:51 |
| Alan502 | i've been using ubuntu since 9.04 | 22:51 |
| User-50382 | OK, So I ran "update-rc.d Auto.bash defaults" But i thought it ran once you logged in, It actully runs on the boot up, But my script is one without end, So i cant get to the login window! | 22:52 |
| Alan502 | rahduke, linux is tough | 22:52 |
| rahduke | Alan502: i love linux | 22:52 |
| rahduke | whats screwing me is a windows program lol | 22:52 |
| Alan502 | rahduke, it really pisses me off that the wireless stops working and nobody knows how to fix it :sigh: | 22:53 |
| firefly2 | daftykins, I tried what u said, "del .gnome dirs" but it didnt help (=xubuntu uses xfce) | when I try "applications-settings-panel" (right-mouse-click on desktop) nothing starts up | isnt there a way to just reset the desktop to default? | 22:53 |
| Alan502 | rahduke, i like it too, but it is very tough | 22:53 |
| rahduke | stick with it, you will find eventually that it is lightyears better than any windows | 22:53 |
| Alan502 | rahduke, but in windows im so sure you would have solved it already | 22:53 |
| roygbiv | User-50382 you need to run it in the background, something like /usr/local/bin/myscript& | 22:54 |
| rahduke | I can fix it by completely removing WINE but i don't want to lose all my settings | 22:54 |
| rahduke | Alan502: generally anyhelp you need you can find in this fine room | 22:54 |
| M25 | anyone here an expert on GDM/Xorg, and know why every once in a while when I log out, the login screen never comes up? Just a blank screen, alt+prntscr+k doesn't work either | 22:54 |

| Alan502 | i've been asking all the day | 22:54 |
| ryanakca | Is it possible to have /boot on an encrypted volume? | 22:54 |
| Alan502 | i've been googling all the day | 22:54 |
| rahduke | whats your problem? | 22:54 |
| roygbiv | User-50382 you'll have to start in single user mode, otherwise init will continue to hang on your script | 22:55 |
| Alan502 | but get nothing! | 22:55 |

| rahduke | I installed Winrar thru WINE, after I installed it took over as the default program for opening rar files, I didn't want that so I changed it thru "open with" it still reverted back to Winrar. So i decided to uninstall Winrar to solve my problem, after I removed winrar Ubuntu still tries using it to open my rar files | 22:55 |
| apocalypt | rahduke: did u try to edit /etc/gnome/default.list | 22:55 |
| rahduke | apocalypt: no | 22:55 |
| rahduke | i will try that now | 22:56 |
| jb0nd38372 | is there a channel where I might inquire about games for ubuntu? Specifically and good populated fps type games? | 22:56 |
| Alan502 | rahduke, my wireless card stopped to work while playing with aircrack, i already removed the package an rebooted. Tried to get my device up with ifconfig but it returns an "unknown error" this has happened other times but it just fixes suddenly | 22:56 |
| roygbiv | User-50382 yea, google for it. i'm sure you'll find a ton of docs on it | 22:56 |
| Mike_lifeguard | e-head_: any error messages? | 22:56 |
| ciobanu-aurel11 | vreun roman | 22:56 |
| roygbiv | rahduke when you say "open with" you mean in nautilis? | 22:56 |
| rahduke | yes | 22:56 |
| rahduke | i've tried changing the nautilus settigns | 22:56 |
| rahduke | and it doesnt work | 22:57 |
| ryanakca | Seveas: Bummer. | 22:57 |
| Mike_lifeguard | M25: You should look at xorg.log (System>Administration>Log viewer) and look for errors | 22:57 |
| roygbiv | have you tried looking through your .nautlilis dir? | 22:57 |
| e-head_ | Mike_lifeguard: It actually looks like it detected it fine. | 22:57 |
| CyberGabber | rahduke: Tried also: RightClick on file > Properties, tab 'Open with', choose 'reset' etc? | 22:57 |
| e-head_ | I'm going to try mounting it by hand. | 22:57 |
| M25 | Mike_lifeguard: did already, I'll pastebin what I get when it happens | 22:57 |
| Alan502 | rahduke, and what pisses me off is that it does not work on backtrack or ubuntu; none of them! just windows. But reinstalling ubuntu will solve the problem. I'lll loose my config tho | 22:57 |
| e-head_ | But... what sort of magic is involved in having gnome detect/mount it automagically? | 22:57 |
| e-head_ | Is it gnome or a kernel module? | 22:57 |
| rahduke | roygbiv: i'm checking gnome default.list right now, I'll try that next | 22:58 |
| apocalypt | rahduke: does it work with changing in /etc/gnome/default.list? | 22:58 |
| Lord-Readman | http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/22854/ | 22:58 |
| rahduke | apocalypt: checking now | 22:58 |
| apocalypt | ok i stay quiet lol | 22:58 |
| rahduke | apocalypt: in my default.list the following is listed under rar | 22:58 |
| rahduke | application/x-rar-compressed=file-roller.desktop | 22:59 |
| rahduke | application/x-rar=file-roller.desktop | 22:59 |
| rahduke | i don'tknow if i should change that | 22:59 |
| M25 | Mike_lifeguard: great, hasn't happened in a while, I'm going to have to re-trigger it | 22:59 |
| Seveas | Lord-Readman, yes, that is under consideration. It's already possible to use bz2 instead of gz | 22:59 |
| trism | rahduke: that should be what you want | 22:59 |
| trism | rahduke: assuming you wanted to use the archive manager instead of winrar | 22:59 |
| rahduke | trism: what shoudl i change it too to make it use archiver as a default | 22:59 |
| rahduke | yes | 22:59 |
| Mike_lifeguard | e-head_: probable udev or hal or avahi or something | 22:59 |
| apocalypt | rahduke: make a backup and try it | 23:00 |
| rahduke | apocalypt: not sure what to change it to | 23:00 |
| Mike_lifeguard | e-head_: dunno, does it really matter to you? | 23:00 |
| rahduke | it doesn't name a program | 23:00 |
| e-head_ | well, I just want to be able to troubleshoot it in the future maybe. | 23:00 |
| === c is now known as charitwo | ||
| trism | rahduke: did you remove winrar from the Open With tab or just change the default? | 23:00 |
| Mike_lifeguard | e-head_: not avahi, that does something else :P | 23:01 |
| e-head_ | well, I'll google around. ;) | 23:01 |
| rahduke | trism: i completely removed winrar, and all references to it I could find | 23:01 |
| rahduke | trism: it even changed the rar icon from the standard gnome icon to the winrar looking icon | 23:01 |
| rahduke | this is freaking me out | 23:01 |
| apocalypt | rahduke: then maybe try to look for ~/.local/share/applications/defaults.list | 23:02 |
| e-head_ | what do you guys use to format disks with? Is there a gnome/gui way to do it, or should I just use cfdisk or fdisk? | 23:02 |
| rahduke | apocalypt: [Default Applications] | 23:02 |
| rahduke | text/html=chromium-browser.desktop | 23:02 |
| rahduke | thats all that is listed | 23:02 |
| b3rz3rk3r | e-head_, i use Gparted for all my disk needs. works great! | 23:03 |
| CyberGabber | rahduke: Did you restart after uninstalling qinrar fron WINE? Check if restart helps... | 23:03 |
| rahduke | CyberGabber: yes | 23:03 |

| VirusTB | jtoft, how do i do that | 23:11 |
| youngman | DasEi, yes | 23:11 |

| alazyworkaholic | I'm in Brazil, but speak English. The google searchbar in the upper right corner of firefox always searches google.com.br instead of google.com or google.ca. I want to change this without changing my whole system's setup so that the clock will remain accurate (Brazilian time) & I'll get updates from nearby servers. I just want to search english google. How? | 23:15 |
| youngman | azanoth, lsof | 23:15 |
| jtoft | VirusTB: just don't delete anything, if your fstab fails to load a -new- drive it's usually a trivial fix (deleting the values you added) to get back up on your feet | 23:15 |
| azanoth | youngman: Great. Thanks! | 23:15 |

| DasEi | logankoester: not in fact, but some packages are often held back with gdm active which seldom can cause this | 23:22 |
| fluffy_ | its been like 30 minutes | 23:22 |
| DasEi | youngman: was it a raid 1 setup ? | 23:22 |

| youngman | DasEi, Hmm. Thanks. I was hoping to find a way that was more resilient to possible physical errors on the other disk. | 23:26 |
| zerq | Colonel_Panik: i've read Avant and Cairo are the best as far as compositing goes, going to check them both out I think | 23:26 |

| dooglus | I used to be able to make the font big in pidgin by unchecking 'use font from theme' | 23:27 |
| dooglus | that option recently vanished | 23:27 |

| DasEi | youngman: you can try a 1:1 hardclone with dd, which is much simpler, but I'm not sure about uuids on different models | 23:27 |
| dooglus | Removed the "Use font from theme" and "Conversation Font" preferences for everyone except Windows users. The font can be controlled from the Pidgin GTK+ Theme Control plugin. | 23:27 |
| apocalypt | assmonger: ? got an answer? | 23:27 |
| dooglus | where can I get this theme control plugin | 23:28 |

| youngman | DasEi, I don't think that is a good idea. | 23:28 |
| leaf-sheep | dooglus: It is in Pidgin Plugins. Toggle on. | 23:28 |
| ActionParsnip | dooglus: you may getjoy with carrier, it puts back a lot of the functionality the pidgin devs took out | 23:28 |
| assmonger | apocalypt: i guess passwd -d works | 23:28 |
| dooglus | ActionParsnip: is it a fork? | 23:28 |
| barbarbaron | hello | 23:28 |
| ActionParsnip | dooglus: indeed it is exactly that | 23:28 |
| leaf-sheep | ActionParsnip: What kind of functionality? | 23:28 |
| puff | ActionParsnip: Cool. | 23:28 |
| assmonger | then they can log in via SSH key and change the password | 23:28 |
| apocalypt | assmonger: if not try start in command mode, type in passwd yourusername, type in your new password, restart in normal mode, | 23:28 |

| DasEi | alazyworkaholic: sudo chown -R alazyworkaholic /media/40GB , putting your actual username in o' course | 23:44 |
| alazyworkaholic | Ok, sudo mkdir /media/Windows | 23:44 |
| alazyworkaholic | done | 23:44 |
| jrib | mbrigdan: edit it, but usually you should read and understand why it is failing first. Check for an open bug, as they usually have workarounds that have been peer-reviewed to some extent | 23:44 |
| DasEi | alazyworkaholic: windows or 40GB ? | 23:44 |
| klappi | Ecfc13, if you cann boot a repair linux, you might also be able to boot some life linux and make a backup before repair | 23:45 |
| EricTheHax | http://pastebin.com/d622cb38 i need to replace button turning with the mouse, but i dont see how, as all i could find didnt work. (lol i accidentally closed pidgin) | 23:45 |
| alazyworkaholic | DasEi, I'll call it Windows (for the missus, she's a slow adopter) | 23:45 |
| DasEi | alazyworkaholic: well, let's set one : sudo mkdir /media/Windows | 23:45 |
| DasEi | alazyworkaholic: sudo chown -R alazyworkaholic /media/Windows , putting your actual username in o' course | 23:45 |
| Ecfc13 | it goes straight to the bash command line for grub | 23:46 |
| alazyworkaholic | DasEi: but about the chown thing, can I have userA & userB both be able to access it without passwords? | 23:46 |
| DasEi | alazyworkaholic: gksudo gedit /etc/fstab | 23:46 |
| DasEi | alazyworkaholic: yes | 23:46 |

| alazyworkaholic | DasEi: I'm there. | 23:47 |
| alazyworkaholic | klappi: huh? Jolie? | 23:47 |
| klappi | Ecfc13, download some life linux cd or usb stick version and make backups if youre afraid of loosing data, just an advice | 23:48 |
| ActionParsnip | alazyworkaholic: you can create a group with both users and root then give the group ownership to that group | 23:48 |
| Ecfc13 | Klappi: Can you just help me with that error? | 23:48 |
| DasEi | alazyworkaholic: (fstab) add a line : /dev/sdb1 /media/Windows ntfs user,uto,exec,rw 0 0 | 23:48 |

| VirusTB | jrib, :P i lost my fish :( thanks for the shortcut | 23:49 |
| Satzo | Hi. I plugged in my cellphone and lsusb detects it as Bus004, Device 002. Where is that under /dev ? Thanks. | 23:49 |
| DasEi | alazyworkaholic: finish fstab with a blank line (just hit enter), save it , close gedit | 23:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Satzo: run: sudo fdisk -l | 23:50 |
| alazyworkaholic | DasEi: Ok, done that. | 23:50 |
| DasEi | alazyworkaholic: sudo mount -a | 23:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Satzo: you will see a partition, mount it | 23:50 |
| DasEi | alazyworkaholi: there you are; additional user chmod +rw to give access (man chmod) to rtfm see: | 23:51 |
| DasEi | !fstab | 23:51 |
| ubottu | The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 23:51 |
| Satzo | ActionParsnip, i don't see anything relevant to my cellphone executing that command. | 23:51 |

| Satzo | ActionParsnip, im trying to use gnome-phone-manager to see my phone data. wammu failed. | 23:52 |
| alazyworkaholic | DasEi: Ok, I think I've understood. Thanks a lot. Now, if you know how to do this you're really smart (& generous ;-)) Windows is hibernated right now, can I set up fstab to mount the partition read only if it isn't able to open it rw? | 23:52 |

| adam___ | Mac ppc G5, Installed Ubuntu 9.1 on external hd. Can't connect to internet wirelessly. Have to connect ethernet to router. Found a fix on the forums for this problem but it doesn't work for my system. | 23:53 |

| ActionParsnip | adam___: if you run: sudo lshw -C network it will tell you the wifi adapter (probably some broadcom garbage knowing apple) and you will find guides | 23:54 |
| Guest3001 | hello | 23:54 |
| Guest3001 | i have something to ask you | 23:54 |
| Satzo | !ask | Guest3001 | 23:54 |
| ubottu | Guest3001: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 23:54 |
| DasEi | alazyworkaholic: you could, but there is always a risk then, better shutdown windows and leave it that way then | 23:54 |
| adam___ | ActionParsnip: Thank you. | 23:54 |
| Guest3001 | ok, sorry | 23:55 |
| Guest3001 | how can i don't update a package? | 23:56 |
| alazyworkaholic | DasEi: what's the risk? I just ran mount -t ntfs-3g -o ro /dev/sdb1 /media/Windows and I'm looking through files without any problems. How can I do that? | 23:56 |
| Guest3001 | when i try to write this on terminal: sudo echo ia32-libs hold | dpkg --set-selections | 23:57 |
| ryanakca | Is there a way to use full disk encryption and not fill the HD with random data? I previously did so (therefore, it doesn't need to be done all over again), but my installation aborted and I don't want to wait three and a half hours for it to fill a 160GB HDD | 23:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest3001: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade | 23:57 |
| DasEi | alazyworkaholic: the disk in different functions of the fs-drivers, whereas journaling functions are handled different from both os'es , could bring damage if unclean; you can set fstab to mount it readonly | 23:58 |
| Guest3001 | i get an error like this : operation needs write/reding permissions | 23:58 |
| MoshutZu | Guest3001 try sudo command | 23:58 |

| Guest3001 | i tried | 23:59 |
| Ecfc13 | can anyone help with this when trying to boot: minimal bash-like line editing is supported | 23:59 |
| DasEi | alazyworkaholic: also if you hibenate and scratch the swap of win, get some fun then | 23:59 |
