| coz_ | puff, right and I am real familiar with preferences in totem | 00:00 |
| ardchoille | holmser: Ah, thanks | 00:00 |
| puff | coz_: But when I looked at the packages, it's Totem. | 00:00 |
| puff | coz_: Installing gnome-mplayer now. | 00:00 |
| coz_ | puff, well just mplayer is fine | 00:01 |
| coz_ | puff, not sure if gnome-mplayer has a different gui than plain mplayer | 00:01 |
| holmser | just go into ubuntu software center and search for sqlite | 00:01 |
| holmser | it comes up with 3 | 00:01 |
| simonj | Hey, could you guys help me with an installation? | 00:01 |
| coz_ | puff, if may be the same application but in the repos mplayer is listed as only mplayer | 00:01 |
| coz_ | although the command to open it is gmplayer | 00:01 |
| holmser | I think sqlite database browser is the one I was using | 00:01 |
| puff | Argh, it says "Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) devicve." | 00:02 |
| puff | coz_: Argh, it says "Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) devicve." | 00:02 |
| === Deep_Thought is now known as bizkit | ||
| coz_ | puff, ok is mplayer opened? | 00:02 |
| coz_ | puff, in the main window right click and go to preferences | 00:02 |
| simonj | I'm getting an error when trying to install Wolf:ET | 00:02 |
| simonj | /root/.setup21923: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory | 00:02 |
| simonj | The setup program seems to have failed on x86/glibc-2.1 | 00:02 |
| puff | coz_: Okay, I'll look again. | 00:02 |
| mMezquitale | simonj, go ahead and describe the problem you are trying to solve, all on one line, if anyone knows the answer they will surely reply | 00:02 |
| ardchoille | holmser: sqlitebrowser? Thank you very much | 00:02 |
| puff | coz_: Okay. | 00:02 |
| coz_ | puff, under preferences and the Video tab highlight xv X11/Xv | 00:02 |
| deleuzer | DasEi, Uh oh, I seem to be in endless reboot...at the end of the file system check, before loading X, computer restarted! eek | 00:03 |
| sim13sime | deleting files that dont exist? | 00:03 |
| puff | coz_: Right, that's what it's set to. | 00:03 |
| coz_ | puff, then go to the Codecs & demuxer tab Video codec family = FFmpeg's libavcodec codec family and audio codec famioly = MPEG layer-2, layer-3 | 00:03 |
| microlith | anyone know why openoffice is a dependency for activating support for languages beyond english? | 00:03 |
| deleuzer | DasEi, It restarted and put me at the command line. | 00:04 |
| DasEi | deleuzer: give it few more tries, fsck corrects errors at each re-read, if that turns endless, we can go on using live | 00:04 |
| puff | coz_: Yeahg, the video codec and audio codec were unset. | 00:04 |
| sim13sime | anyone know how to delete a file that doesnt exist?! | 00:04 |
| coz_ | ok | 00:04 |
| tyranos | !wacom | tyranos | 00:04 |
| deleuzer | DasEi, can I just run fsck from command line? | 00:04 |
| coz_ | puff, and which type of video are you trying to play? | 00:04 |
| puff | flv. | 00:04 |
| coz_ | puff, oh | 00:05 |
| DasEi | deleuzer: check mount to see if sda1 is mounted | 00:05 |
| coz_ | puff, mm I generally just open those with firefox or get a standalone flash player | 00:05 |
| puff | coz_: And wmv. | 00:05 |
| mMezquitale | sim13sime, try using quotes in the terminal, it's probably there using a weird chracter | 00:05 |
| coz_ | puff, the wmv should work in totem or mplayer | 00:05 |
| puff | Nope, same results. Hm. | 00:05 |
| zutme | Is there any way to get bash completion when I use sudo. For example if I type "apti" it expands to aptitude, but if I type "sudo apti" it won't expand to aptitude. | 00:06 |
| coz_ | puff, you could install Handbrake and convert the flv to mpv4 | 00:06 |
| puff | coz_: Okay, maybe I should back out of gnome-mplayer and install vanilla mplayer. | 00:06 |
| sim13sime | mMezquitale it is there i see it on the desktop i can move it aound but i cant delete it. double quotes or single? | 00:06 |
| puff | coz_: And repeat the steps, etc. | 00:06 |
| coz_ | puff, I would install vanilla mplayer personally | 00:06 |
| puff | coz_: Okay, I'll try that. | 00:06 |
| juanito_ | hello, Someone have an idea about gnome-panel freezing? It happens when I open several windows: (Firefox using 130 Mbs of mm, Gimp, Rithmbox, Pidgin, and a few dolphin pastes).

| coz_ | Fizix, I have not yet tried UNR but for one day | 00:16 |
| coz_ | Fizix, I dont think I can help with this ... did you open a terminal and type gimp to see if there are erros reported? | 00:17 |
| Fizix | I'll try it now | 00:17 |
| ardchoille | Fizix: just thinking out loud here, have you tried alt+tab to get to it? | 00:17 |
| DasEi | llvllatrix: no further ideas on that, had the differnt issue (no key plugged, oh no response) | 00:17 |
| llvllatrix | DasEi: According to the forums, it looks like a problem with grub2 will halt if it can't determine what the state of the l-shift key is. | 00:18 |

| cedriczg | crankharder, as far as I know localhost and 127.0.0.1 would be the same | 00:28 |
| llvllatrix | DasEi: I'm not entirely sure what's happening. I'll check the bios again but I suspect that's a red herring. I removed the code that checked for l-shift from /etc/grub.d/30-os-prober and that didn't work. | 00:28 |
| DasEi | kfizz: that would have had to be done earlier, a seperate /home , either you clone your older karmic , or just copy, or check for sth like uniso.. though in your case... better copy ;-) | 00:29 |

| deleuzer | DasEi, crap yes, but I forgot to record the url | 00:50 |
| arghh2d2 | Miansc: now whats it say? | 00:51 |
| Miansc | so how big do i make it | 00:51 |
| Miansc | the extra space that is | 00:51 |
| deleuzer | DasEi, on second reboot, everything goes smooth | 00:51 |
| arghh2d2 | Miansc: twice the size of your ram if you want to be able to hibernate | 00:51 |
| DasEi | deleuzer: hm, so hard to determine what's the cause, right, then boot live again, do the e2fsck -p | 00:51 |
| Miansc | kk | 00:51 |
| DasEi | deleuzer: so ? | 00:51 |
| arghh2d2 | Miansc: i'd just use like 256 mb's otherwise | 00:51 |
| Miansc | ill make it 10gb.... 8gb should be fine but. | 00:52 |
| holmser | IceReaper, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/NetworkConsole | 00:52 |
| DasEi | deleuzer: that was a upgrade from jaunty to karmic ? | 00:52 |
| Miansc | ahk | 00:52 |
| deleuzer | DasEi, yes | 00:52 |
| arghh2d2 | Miansc: ok, if you can afford the hdd | 00:52 |
| IceReaper | ah, thanks :) | 00:52 |
| holmser | that method should get your ssh running so you can pull up a console from another computer | 00:52 |
| ck2009 | tty1 | 00:52 |
| Miansc | yeah ive got a bit of space after the windows install | 00:52 |
| VCoolio | idiot_: extract in ~/.fonts? | 00:53 |
| DasEi | deleuzer: jaunty uses ext3, karmic ext4, the ident in fstab (3) is still right, this might trouble writeback | 00:53 |
| Miansc | so do i choose beging, ext3 journaling file system and mount point / | 00:53 |
| Miansc | for the 10gb partition | 00:53 |
| arghh2d2 | Miansc: it can cost alot of storage space just to be able to hibernate and hibernation still isnt garaunteed to work | 00:53 |
| sim13sime | how do i delelte a file that supposedly doesnt exist | 00:53 |
| deleuzer | DasEi, you suggest trying to change to ext4? | 00:53 |
| jrib | sim13sime: start by being less vague :) | 00:54 |
| Miansc | ahh shait | 00:54 |
| sim13sime | lol ok | 00:54 |
| arghh2d2 | Miansc: i put my swap at the end of the hard drive, it doesnt get used that much | 00:54 |
| ardchoille | sim13sime: you'll need to elaborate on that | 00:54 |
| Miansc | right | 00:54 |
| Guest8813 | Satzo: i have apache tomcat installed | 00:54 |
| DasEi | deleuzer: not at this point, when reliable boot is back and I think the upgrade did that- manner : old files stay ext3 , new writes be ext 4,>< writeback trouble | 00:55 |
| arghh2d2 | Miansc: your swap space is formatted "swap" not ext or anything like that, just swap | 00:55 |
| jfig1234 | Hi all, having a problem here at home. I have a server running for months without problem. Now, without any change (except for upgrades to ubuntu), the server only works for a few minutes connected to a specific network switch and then stalls. Connected to another switch seems to work OK. Other equipment (freeNAS, router, etc) works fine on the switch. | 00:55 |
| Miansc | ohh, ok. | 00:55 |
| sim13sime | ok i just bought a flash drive and on it had 2 files a .exe and a .pdf file when i changes the mount point on them the files got copies so i deleted one copy and now the other copies cant be deleted bc "they dont exist" | 00:55 |
| Miansc | swap area? | 00:55 |
| arghh2d2 | yeah, swap area if thats the option | 00:56 |
| deleuzer | DasEi, sounds like it would be, though not 100% how both could happen on the same disk | 00:56 |
| harushimo | is chrome available for ubuntu? | 00:56 |
| harushimo | i'm just curious | 00:56 |
| Halla | harushimo, yes as of today. | 00:56 |
| DasEi | deleuzer: that works, I know it (from manually doing so) | 00:56 |
| llvllatrix | jfig1234: That sounds like a hardware problem. Have you tried other hardware in the same port? | 00:56 |
| o-haavard | I've got Ubuntu 9.10 on my laptop and my server ... they're on the same network, I've shared a folder on the server, yet my laptop isn't connecting to the server | 00:57 |
| i_is_broke | what is the command line name for pidgin? is it gaim? | 00:57 |
| harushimo | is there a specific version for ubuntu? | 00:57 |
| o-haavard | what should i do? | 00:57 |
| duvnell1 | hi, I've livebooted a ubuntu 8.04 CD on a dell, when I plug in my usb external HDD, it's saying a device 2-1 was plugged in, but it is not creating a device. Any ideas? should I just get the newest version and hope for the best, or is there something that I can do to prod it alone to create a device? | 00:57 |
| DasEi | i_is_broke: pidgin | 00:57 |
| i_is_broke | i thought it had another name? | 00:57 |
| i_is_broke | ok will try it. thanks DasEi | 00:57 |
| lukes | harushimo: yes: http://www.google.com/chrome | 00:57 |
| DasEi | !chrome | harushimo | 00:57 |
| naranjo | Hey | 00:58 |
| harushimo | thanks everyone | 00:58 |
| jfig1234 | llvllatrix: yes, and connecting the server on another port of the switch | 00:58 |
| harushimo | I shall download it | 00:58 |
| DasEi | harushimo : can add repo to ubuntu, that works | 00:58 |
| i_is_broke | DasEi, x is broken on my test box and i was wanting to see if could get it to work with command line..will not having x make a difference? | 00:58 |
| deleuzer | DasEi, http://pastebin.com/f7ed4a9bf for syslog | 00:58 |
| harushimo | what add to repo? | 00:58 |
| harushimo | that would be great | 00:58 |
| DasEi | i_is_broke: nope , no x no pidgin, use irssi | 00:58 |
| DasEi | harushimo: second | 00:59 |
| harushimo | if you add chrome to repo, that would be great..okay | 00:59 |
| harushimo | thanks | 00:59 |
| i_is_broke | DasEi, its called finch | 00:59 |
| i_is_broke | google loves me | 00:59 |
| llvllatrix | jfig1234: Sometimes I occasionally have problems like cat5 receding from a port even though the header isn't damaged because of the orientation of the cord. Could that be the problem? | 00:59 |
| arghh2d2 | i_is_broke: if you got no x and need pidgin, try finch | 00:59 |
| Miansc | ty for the help, im installing now :D | 00:59 |
| jrib | sim13sime: changed the mount point how? | 00:59 |
| naranjo | Does anybody know if there is an official Ubuntu channel in Spanish? | 00:59 |
| DasEi | i_is_broke: several solutions | 00:59 |

| david_ | hello | 00:59 |
| arghh2d2 | DasEi: irssi does insant mesaging? | 01:00 |
| DasEi | arghh2d2: yes | 01:00 |
| IceReaper | I thought google chrome has its own repo? O.o im using it for about weeks now under ubuntu | 01:00 |
| arghh2d2 | DasEi: through a script? | 01:00 |
| llvllatrix | jfig1234: Or is it a complete stall? Have you checked the command line on the machine when it has stalled to see what it's doing? | 01:00 |
| david_ | does anyone run xubuntu | 01:00 |
| naranjo | !es | naranjo | 01:00 |
| ubottu | naranjo, please see my private message | 01:00 |
| david_ | can anyone help me with a problem | 01:00 |
| arghh2d2 | david_: ask | 01:01 |
| deleuzer | DasEi, 2 consecutive successful boots. | 01:01 |
| sim13sime | jrib i was playing around with it to get the hang of using mount and umount commands and i changes it from /media to /mnt/flash a folder i created | 01:01 |
| b0nn | hrm, Im having a bit of trouble upgrading a jaunty box to karmic: http://pastebin.com/m5624a7d6 | 01:01 |
| DasEi | deleuzer: nice | 01:01 |
| jrib | sim13sime: unmount it everywhere then mount it to one place | 01:01 |
| david_ | i just switched from kubuntu to xubuntu an now my dvd-rw driver is not working | 01:01 |
| DasEi | deleuzer: pastebin won't load .. trying again | 01:02 |
| jfig1234 | llvllatrix: tried with several cables, seems like a complete stall, no console and nothing i could find on the logs | 01:02 |
| llvllatrix | jfig1234: The difficulty with hardware problems is that they're notoriously difficult to reproduce :\ | 01:02 |
| lint | can someone tell me how to change my password in ubuntu 9.10? | 01:02 |
| sim13sime | jrib: i did and the flash drive is clean but the 2 folders are stuck on my Desktop | 01:02 |
| Satzo | david_, if you put a cd(with media on it) and goto /media/cdrom is anything there? | 01:02 |
| b0nn | lint: passwd | 01:02 |
| jrib | sim13sime: are the folders empty? | 01:02 |
| arghh2d2 | david_: are you using a different program to access the dvd-rw drive? | 01:02 |
| deleuzer | DasEi, I could have mis-transcribed it | 01:02 |
| DasEi | deleuzer: ah, syslog too big for | 01:02 |
| jrib | lint: system -> administration -> users and groups | 01:02 |
| deleuzer | DasEi, or that | 01:02 |
| david_ | it is reading the cd but it is not ejecting it says that the driver isnt there | 01:02 |
| DasEi | deleuzer: have few more tries, else that will have benn it | 01:03 |
| sim13sime | jrib: i cant do anything with them bc its telling me they dont exist | 01:03 |
| DasEi | been* | 01:03 |
| deleuzer | DasEi, uh oh...third reboot is locking up | 01:03 |
| jrib | sim13sime: do they exist when you do "ls ~/Desktop"? | 01:03 |
| arghh2d2 | david_: thats weird | 01:03 |
| david_ | it says that it is not a volume or drive | 01:03 |
| llvllatrix | jfig1234: What are you running on the server? It might be a configuration error that's frying the server. | 01:03 |
| sim13sime | jrib: nope and neither does ls -a | 01:04 |
| jrib | sim13sime: click on your desktop and trying pressing f5 or ctrl-r | 01:04 |
| david_ | thanks for trying to help though i dont know what is going on with this machine | 01:04 |
| jfig1234 | llvllatrix: ubuntu server upgraded to the latest version | 01:04 |
| DasEi | deleuzer: so try to come back in, then manually open, paste the last ~50 lines of /var/log/syslog | 01:05 |
| DasEi | deleuzer: older drive ? | 01:05 |
| sim13sime | jrib: SUCCESS! they disappeared | 01:05 |
| llvllatrix | jfig1234: Yup, but what are you using the server for? Running an apache server? | 01:05 |
| arghh2d2 | david_: if you can read a dvd then its not a missing driver, not being able to eject is more likely cuz somehting is using the dvd | 01:05 |
| sim13sime | jrib: tahnk you | 01:05 |
| jrib | sim13sime: de nada | 01:05 |
| laeg | any idea why on all media, flash, avi etc it will play fine but the audio will fade after 20 seconds? | 01:05 |
| deleuzer | DasEi, have to wait for disk scan now...07 drive on a hp laptop | 01:05 |
| jfig1234 | llvllatrix: its a home server running on old HP desktop, | 01:05 |
| j2bv16 | hey | 01:06 |
| david_ | do you think that you can shut down an restart if you could eject it that way | 01:06 |
| j2bv16 | I have 12 invites to google wave | 01:06 |
| j2bv16 | Who want? | 01:06 |
| jrib | !ot | j2bv16 | 01:06 |
| ubottu | j2bv16: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 01:06 |
| llvllatrix | jfig1234: It might be something like a run away process because of a config change that consumes memory till the server dies or something. | 01:06 |
| sim13sime | jrib: just for future refence what did i do with the f5 command | 01:06 |
| jrib | sim13sime: cool | 01:06 |
| jrib | sim13sime: oh, it just refreshes | 01:06 |
| j2bv16 | ok | 01:06 |
| arghh2d2 | david_: close any programs that might be using the dvd | 01:06 |
| j2bv16 | Thanx | 01:06 |
| david_ | ok | 01:06 |
| sim13sime | jrib: ok cool thanks | 01:06 |
| laeg | any idea why on all media, flash, avi etc it will play fine but the audio will fade after 20 seconds? ubuntu 9.10 | 01:06 |
| DasEi | deleuzer: not for now, smartmontools offer good ways to check drives health, on a desk eof is ~4 j , laptop (spin up) is more aggressive often | 01:07 |
| === tato is now known as gatekeeper | ||
| david_ | thanks that worked i am stupid i just didnt think thak you so much | 01:07 |
| arghh2d2 | david_: np, we all stupid sometimes | 01:07 |
| llvllatrix | jfig1234: What software are you using the server for? That'll give us an idea of which logs to check. | 01:08 |
| laeg | any idea why on all media, flash, avi etc it will play fine but the audio will fade after 20 seconds? ubuntu 9.10 | 01:08 |
| deleuzer | DasEi, I have to believe the drive is not the problem, since this is all upgrade related behavior. | 01:08 |
| david_ | just to be curious what ubuntu are you running | 01:08 |
| Satzo | laeg, dont repeat so often! someone will help eventually | 01:08 |
| DasEi | deleuzer: think so, too | 01:08 |
| jfig1234 | llvllatrix: maybe, but when I plug the server on another switch (3COM 4226t) it woks fine | 01:08 |
| arghh2d2 | david_: are you asking me? | 01:09 |
| david_ | yes | 01:09 |
| JesseW | what is a simple command-line way to make a beeping noise? | 01:09 |
| llvllatrix | jfig1234: One thing you could try to eliminate any hardware problems is to run a livedisk on the system to see if it reproduces the error. | 01:09 |
| LjL | !info beep | JesseW | 01:10 |

| arghh2d2 | david_: i'm not running ubuntu right now, i sometimes run crunchbang which is based on ubuntu..i just like to troll this channel and help newbs now and then | 01:10 |
| laeg | any idea why on all media, flash, avi etc it will play fine but the audio will fade after 20 seconds? ubuntu 9.10 | 01:10 |
| JesseW | LjL It'd be nice if it was already installed, but I'll check it out. thanks! | 01:11 |
| david_ | i thank you so much for the help i dont know what i was thinking | 01:11 |
| DasEi | harushimo: google-chrome-unstable there is or https://launchpad.net/~chromium-daily/+archive/ppa | 01:11 |
| arghh2d2 | laeg: using what to watch the movies? firefox? | 01:11 |
| harushimo | is it not stable? | 01:11 |
| harushimo | I thought it was stable version | 01:11 |
| DasEi | arghh2d2: you can irssi for irc just from cmd-line, though unconfigured quite dry | 01:12 |
| jfig1234 | llvllatrix: thanks, i'll also do that | 01:12 |
| LjL | JesseW: you may also just use echo -e "\007" if your terminal is set to produce a beep on bell.. | 01:12 |
| crus | hi guys, i just upgraded a couple of my systems (ubuntu server 9.10) doing an aptitude safe-upgrade, it even updated the kernel packages... just wondering why it doesnt tell me to reboot at the end | 01:12 |
| laeg | arghh2d2: anything - flash audio fades with firefox - movie audio fades with vlc, gnome mplayer, movie player etc etc | 01:12 |
| laeg | arghh2d2: it last 20 seconds, audio volume gradually decreasing | 01:12 |
| Satzo | crus, not all updates require immediate reboot | 01:12 |
| laeg | arghh2d2: happened after i upgraded to 9.10 | 01:12 |
| arghh2d2 | laeg: i'm stumped | 01:13 |
| crus | Satzo: its upgraded the kernel from 2.6.31-14 to 2.6.31-16, wont i need to reboot to get those changes? | 01:13 |
| JesseW | LjL: doesn't seem to, but I'm trying out the beep package now... | 01:13 |
| laeg | arghh2d2: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766683&page=145 third post | 01:13 |
| Satzo | crus, if you mentioned safe i assume it wont nag you. maybe someone else can elaborate on that | 01:13 |
| DasEi | deleuzer: also I wonder if the writeback in addition to ext3/4 bugged fsck, so that is another try worth | 01:13 |
| laeg | arghh2d2: i really don't wanna have to burn movies to disc to watch them on my window partition tonight :( | 01:13 |
| Satzo | laeg, have you tried another account? could be your userspace | 01:14 |
| laeg | Satzo: i only have one account? | 01:14 |
| crus | Satzo: ahh k.. its not really an issue as such as these things only take about 10 seconds to reboot on my ESXi server, i was more curious then anything else | 01:14 |
| Satzo | laeg, you can make another one to cross-test | 01:14 |
| deleuzer | DasEi, Not sure what this would mean practically...as in how to implement it. | 01:14 |
| laeg | Satzo: 21gb free on my home dir? | 01:14 |
| occy | Anyone playing WoW on Ubuntu? I'm getting a Runtime error: R6034 with patch 3.3 | 01:14 |
| Satzo | laeg, so? | 01:15 |
| laeg | Satzo: how do i do that, and will i be able to access the files in /home/laeg/videos from another account? | 01:15 |
| DasEi | deleuzer: the e2fsck -p thingy | 01:15 |
| laeg | Satzo: sorry, i'm unfamiliar with userspace | 01:15 |
| eds | does anyone know how to restore a uuid or how i can assign a new one to a partition? | 01:15 |
| Satzo | laeg, goto user accounts, and make another | 01:15 |
| laeg | Satzo: will i be able to access laeg's files? | 01:15 |
| Satzo | userspace simply means an account. windows/mac/linux all uses this concept | 01:15 |
| deleuzer | DasEi, we already did that, right? | 01:15 |
| Satzo | laeg, make sure you make admin rights with adding the test account and you should be ok | 01:16 |
| Satzo | laeg, you can be logged into two userspaces at once too :) | 01:16 |
| laeg | Satzo: system >> admin >> users and groups doesn't give me the option to add user? it's greyed out | 01:16 |
| Satzo | unlock it | 01:16 |
| laeg | Satzo: wants keyring, standby | 01:16 |
| Satzo | ; | 01:16 |
| Satzo | laeg, im heading out to lunch soon, but userspaces is something worth understanding anyway :) | 01:17 |
| DasEi | deleuzer: also I wonder if the writeback in addition to ext3/4 bugged fsck, so that is another try worth | 01:17 |
| laeg | Satzo: account created, gonna go test - brb | 01:17 |
| JesseW | LjL: beep gives me no sound -- probably something screwy with my sound setup... dammit. | 01:17 |
| laeg | and ty Satzo | 01:17 |
| deleuzer | DasEi, Ah because writeback was changed, so fsck might work differently? | 01:17 |
| DasEi | deleuzer: y | 01:18 |
| Reliant | If my bootable linux harddisk was moved from being in the IDE port of an external PCI card and plugged into the primary IDE of the motherboard, would that cause failures to boot? | 01:18 |
| Steil | potentially | 01:18 |
| Steil | probably not though | 01:18 |
| Reliant | I'm trying to troubleshoot this one. I moved everything into a new box, and some of the wiring of the drives has changed. The motherboard takes forever to hand off to grub, and grub takes ages to load now | 01:19 |
| virtuald | But does it work? | 01:21 |
| laeg | santoz? :( | 01:21 |
| Satzo | laeg, still an issue? | 01:21 |
| laeg | Satzo: sorry friend, spelt your name wrong :) | 01:21 |
| laeg | Satzo: yes :( | 01:21 |
| Satzo | np | 01:21 |
| deleuzer_ | DasEi, http://whiteboard.debian.net/dasei.wb my syslog | 01:21 |
| laeg | 21 seconds | 01:21 |
| laeg | sound is gone | 01:21 |
| laeg | Satzo: gradual fade | 01:21 |
| Satzo | Satzo, what audio device do you have? on board or a pci card? | 01:22 |
| laeg | Satzo: was that for me? | 01:22 |
| Satzo | sorry yes. :) | 01:22 |
| laeg | :) | 01:22 |
| pspfreak | how can I use sound in revovery mode? | 01:22 |
| laeg | Satzo: i think it's on board, can i check? btw this worked fine in 9.04 | 01:22 |
| Reliant | I think before, I had GRUB loaded on my SATA drive (a windows OS), with an option to choose Linux (IDE drive in PCI slot). Now that I moved the IDE drive into primary master, I can't get anything to boot right. SATA's GRUB gives "Invalid partition" when trying to choose either Windows or Ubuntu | 01:23 |
| Reliant | so tl;dr, how can I use the GRUB command line to choose the boot device? | 01:23 |
| pspfreak | can I use sound in recovery mode? | 01:23 |
| Satzo | laeg, i only ask because i went through this with my home PC. the external audio card had to go..causing too many problems. i re-enabled the on-board audio and havent looked back | 01:23 |
| jrib | pspfreak: why would you want to? | 01:23 |
| Satzo | Reliant, you a redditor? | 01:23 |
| === Sedated_ is now known as Sedated | ||

| pspfreak | because I can't boot into non-revoery mode because GDM wont load. | 01:24 |
| Reliant | Satzo, yeah :D | 01:24 |
| Reliant | thanks virtuald | 01:24 |

| pspfreak | I know it sees it because sudo aplay it det4ects it | 01:25 |
| laeg | Satzo: ok man. anything else i can try? | 01:25 |
| pspfreak | I do have onboard audio | 01:25 |
| Satzo | laeg, is it onboard or external audio? | 01:25 |
| DasEi | deleuzer: are you booting from usb ? any new devices on ? http://pastebin.com/m1af6f85b | 01:25 |
| laeg | Satzo: it's so teasing, i'd understand if there was no sound because it would mean something was wrong but it playing for 20 seconds is almost like an insult | 01:25 |
| pspfreak | jrib, is it possible? | 01:26 |
| laeg | Satzo: i stick a cable from the audio port at the front of my tower into a hifi? | 01:26 |
| jrib | pspfreak: probably, but I don't see the point | 01:26 |
| laeg | Satzo: there's no problem with the hifi, radio works fine etc and worked fine with 9.04? | 01:26 |
| Satzo | ok its probably on-board laeg | 01:26 |
| laeg | Satzo: is there a way to test? | 01:26 |
| deleuzer | DasEi, no nothing new or unusual...thanks for all your help! | 01:26 |

| 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 | 01:27 |

| gh0st | quick question, can i use UNetbootin with a Server install CD as compared to a Live Desktop Environment? | 02:12 |
| islington | Typh: create a broken symlink, then when you want to access folder correct the symlink by hand? | 02:12 |
| ikonia | gh0st: yes | 02:12 |
| gh0st | thanks | 02:12 |
| jonz | typh, keep in mind its still viewable from the command line | 02:12 |
| Typh | islington: ... what? haha | 02:12 |
| hyperstream | ikonia, i dont know whats going on to be honest. | 02:12 |
| con-man | how do I get my computer to share its internet with others? I have another pooter plugged in to the second ethernet port. I remember how to do this in windows but not linux | 02:12 |
| jonz | islington, that's interesting. but not practical. but interesting none the less | 02:13 |
| DjGateway1 | i installed the pulse devicechooser and the volume control along with their corresponding packages | 02:13 |
| ikonia | hyperstream: you must know if you setup a shared /boot partition or not | 02:13 |
| hyperstream | ikonia, does my paste explain it perhaps ? whats the best approach to fix this issue, | 02:13 |
| Typh | jonz: I would image not without explicitly asking to list hidden files, no? | 02:13 |
| gh0st | is it possible to take a .VDI install from virtualbox and make it a live cd? i REALLY don't want to go through all the hoops to make a custom live cd -.- any ideas? | 02:13 |
| biabia | ok with open office i am able to open, modify and save .docx files. but I dont see how its able to create a new .docx file. | 02:13 |
| jonz | typh i believe there is no way to hide something from the following command: `ls -a` | 02:13 |
| ikonia | hyperstream: I would advise you to re-install both your OS's using a shared /boot partition, it will make managinge and supporting them in the future much much easier | 02:13 |
| ikonia | gh0st: no | 02:14 |
| gh0st | lol, thanks again! | 02:14 |
| jonz | typh, more importantly why do you want to hide it? is it sensitive data? | 02:14 |
| kfizz | DjGateway1: Have a look at this page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio | 02:14 |
| hyperstream | ikonia, every time i instaleld, i hit advanced in the instller and told it to install to the external device | 02:14 |
| hyperstream | ikonia, so id say its shared. | 02:14 |
| kfizz | DjGateway1: Try following those installation isntructions and see if you have any luck | 02:14 |
| ikonia | hyperstream: it's not | 02:14 |
| Typh | jonz: oh that's fine, I'm only hiding it from myself. Dropbox doesn't let you rename its folder and I hate capital letters. I'm just going to hide the folder and symlink to it from dropbox | 02:14 |
| ikonia | hyperstream: 1.) put /boot as 1 partition that both the OS's shared | 02:15 |
| hyperstream | ikonia, i need to recover a mysql database off it, can i do this from another Linux install and plug in the harddrive? | 02:15 |
| Typh | It's silly but I'm picky. | 02:15 |
| ikonia | hyperstream: just boot from the livecd to get the database off the disk | 02:15 |
| ikonia | hyperstream: then re-install using a shared /boot partition | 02:15 |
| jonz | typh, i also am fairly annoyed with dropbox's capitilization. keep in mind though that linking will make it so you can't `ls dropbox` the contents | 02:15 |
| hyperstream | ikonia, thanks mate, might you be able to tell me where they are stored ? | 02:15 |
| Typh | jonz: I rarely use ls without being in the dir in question anyways | 02:16 |
| ikonia | hyperstream: look in /etc/my.cnf - they are in the datadir location in there | 02:16 |
| hyperstream | ikonia, ok so just make a partition (10gig ? ) for /boot and always point installs-boot loaders to the partition? | 02:16 |
| DjGateway1 | kfizz: okay... will do | 02:16 |
| ikonia | hyperstream: /boot shold be no more than 200 meg | 02:16 |
| islington | Typh: jonz: oh man that's now bothereing me too :( | 02:16 |
| ikonia | hyperstream: 10 gig would be a crazy waste | 02:16 |
| Typh | islington: hahaha | 02:16 |
| Typh | It's pretty dumb you can't rename it. | 02:17 |
| jonz | islington typh if you guys want to check the dropbox forums (they've always been very responsive) then it would take care of the laziness in me (i have been meaning to check for a couple months) | 02:17 |
| hyperstream | ikonia, ok thanks mate, is there no way i can say reinstall grub too from this live cd to get my sdc8 partition (linux 32bit) up and running ? | 02:17 |
| jonz | typh, i understand that you can't rename it once its installed. but not being able to rename it *for the installation process* is fairly annoying. however - they have to keep clean somewhere right/ | 02:18 |
| Typh | You used to be able to rename it, but not anymore. You can open it's db and change some base64 string to change it, but that's silly. | 02:18 |
| ikonia | hyperstream: don't try that - get the data off and re-install both os's with the shared /boot partition, it will stop you wasting a mass ammount of time in the future | 02:18 |
| Typh | The fact that you can move it but not rename it is... odd. | 02:18 |
| elconsulto | hey guys, is there someone here who could help me install my usb joystick? | 02:18 |
| jonz | typh, you can? did you see that in a forum? | 02:18 |
| Typh | yeah lemme dig up the link | 02:18 |
| mrpwnage | anyway. | 02:18 |
| jonz | typh, i'd be willing to jump through that little hoop | 02:18 |
| kfizz | elconsulto, what seems to be the problem? Ubuntu doesn't automatically recognize and mount it? | 02:19 |
| mrpwnage | where are the boot scripts located? | 02:19 |
| ikonia | mrpwnage: /etc/init.d | 02:19 |
| mrpwnage | for everything? | 02:19 |
| elconsulto | kfizz: don't think so, nothing happened when i plugged it in and there's no joystick module in lsmod | 02:20 |
| Typh | jonz: it says on windows, but I don't see why it would be much different http://apocryph.org/2009/05/29/how-to-rename-the-my-dropbox-folder-on-windows/ | 02:20 |
| mrpwnage | or are there ones for different boot inits? | 02:20 |

| kfizz | elconsulto, I'm sorry I misread your question, I thought you were simply referring to a USB drive. I don't have much experience in joysticks, sorry. | 02:20 |
| Typh | jonz: there seems to be a python script for doing it as well in the forum link | 02:21 |
| mrpwnage | ikonia: so what should I see/edit there? | 02:21 |

| mrpwnage | ikonia: If I wanted to start in init 1 during boot what shoud I append to the boot menu? | 02:23 |
| ikonia | mrpwnage: that's the recovery shell - that already exists on your grub menu | 02:24 |
| hyperstream | ikonia, is there any tutorials on how to reinstall the grub for a /dev/sdc8 ? | 02:24 |

Is there a way I can repair grub so it can dual boot windows 7? I'm booted from the LiveCD right now. | 02:33 |
| kfizz | EMPulse, that's good. Your hosts file isn't hijacked at least. How do you access the internet? Via a router? | 02:33 |

| stephen_ | kevdog.... long story short... I didn't know my password to access the net stayed the same on all networks.. so I tried changing it after I moved to connect to our new network | 02:48 |
| Dr_Willis | jennie: check cups.org to see how well the printer is supported. and check out the cups web interface to configure it - would be a place to start | 02:48 |

| stephen_ | kevdog however I love Ubuntu... but there's alot I need to learn still | 02:50 |
| Billiard | richart: all thats required is a / some people recomend a separate /home, you can create a swap file after install instead of using a swap partition as well | 02:50 |
| richart | Billiard: ic, how big do you recommend / without a /home? | 02:51 |
| kevdog | Shane_: Ok its not b43 | 02:51 |
| Dr_Willis | richart: depends on what you are doing with the system. | 02:51 |
| Billiard | richart: depends how much you will be doing on lnux | 02:51 |
| kfizz | elconsulto, you probably don't need libglib 1.2, just something as recent or more recent than the 1.2 version. It appears the latest version is 2.0. sudo apt-get install libglib should work to install it, if not let me know | 02:51 |

| kevdog | Shane_: Did you try installing the restricted drivers package? | 02:56 |
| mrpwnage | question: how can I initiate init one upon boot? | 02:56 |
| EMPulse | kfizz, could is be the ISP's problem? what else besides the ISP is involved in resolving the domain? | 02:56 |
| kfizz | EMPulse, it's entirely possible it could be a virus, though uncommon on Linux, viruses are possible | 02:56 |
| richart | thx for hlp, made the partitions, i'll go install now :) | 02:56 |
| Shane_ | kevdog: There isn't any, checked 3 times. | 02:56 |

| gh0st | how can i mount a usb drive as /dev/cdrom? | 02:57 |
| EMPulse | kfizz, it never redirects me to a site I've never been to | 02:57 |
| Dr_Willis | _schism_: perhaps use xp inside virtualbox.. | 02:57 |
| kfizz | EMPulse, well of course the DNS is involved. But if other computers don't have this issue it could be just your computer. | 02:57 |
| pinger | ok thx :'-( | 02:57 |
| Dr_Willis | gh0st: you MOUNT somthing to a mountpoint ieL /media/cdrom not /dev/cdrom | 02:57 |
| kfizz | EMPulse, what browser are you using? Have you tried using other browsers? | 02:57 |
| EMPulse | kfizz, yeah tried firefox and chrome | 02:57 |
| EMPulse | uninstalled and reinstalled both | 02:57 |
| elconsulto | kfizz: that worked, now Package Installer is still giving me that error message | 02:57 |

| Ntemis | is it repairable? | 02:58 |
| Reliant | gah, no wonder I've been having so much trouble for hours. The IDE drive I've been trying to get working, is obsolete with an outdated install of Ubuntu. The SATA drive I thought was inaccessible was actually where I had installed Ubuntu to. Hours wasted 'cause I left an obsolete drive inside my case | 02:58 |

| swaj | hoo-hah: so I was able to fix it... it's pretty rediculous, but basically I had go into grub, tell it device (hd0) was /dev/mapper/bakjdflkasdjflasj, then set the root (hd0,4), setup (hd0), and finally modify /boot/grub/device.map to point (hd0) to /dev/mapper/kfjsalkdfjhalskfdjha | 03:01 |
| Satzo | you arent as clueless as you thought..... | 03:01 |
| Ntemis | Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (apt) isn't associated with any program. | 03:01 |
| Shane_ | kevdog: In the first post, or a later post? And not really great at commands, but can get around. Also, I tried installing b43-fwcutter before, and that, nor the other one suggested in that topic can be found. | 03:02 |
| EMPulse | kfizz, would whatever is causing this problem be able to access my files and get my passwords that I've sent over wifi? | 03:02 |
| Dr_Willis | Ntemis: what ubuntu version you using? the apt:// type url is new in 9.10 i belive | 03:02 |
| swaj | hoo-hah: after that, grub loaded and booted Linux like it should | 03:02 |
| mrpwnage | Dr_Willis: I've tried other distros and the same option is not blocked. | 03:02 |

| darkipod | no answer for me?? on this http://pastie.org/734791 | 03:02 |
| solifugus | Anyone know how to find out what package contains pzip? (so I can install it?) | 03:02 |
| Ntemis | Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (apt) isn't associated with any program. | 03:02 |
| kevdog | Shane_: First post in the thread but after the steps number 1-6 | 03:02 |
| Ntemis | how i fix this? | 03:02 |
| Dr_Willis | mrpwnage: blocked? what do you mean. | 03:02 |
| chilli0 | How can i scan over a network in xsane ?( the host is ubuntu) | 03:02 |
| Geoffrey2 | any chance of successfully downloading and installing the lucid source code for a 3rd party app on karmic? | 03:02 |
| kfizz | EMPulse, it's possible. If it is in fact a virus/trojan/worm etc I would expect the worst. | 03:02 |
| ardchoille | solifugus: apt-cache search pzip | 03:02 |
| Dr_Willis | mrpwnage: i can hit alt-ctrl f1 through f5 to get to consoles here. thats normal in ubuntu and most disrtos. | 03:02 |
| kfizz | EMPulse, not to scare you, simply to cover all the bases | 03:03 |
| gh0st | why wouldnt "mount /dev/sdb /cdrom" work? that it the temp. install expects it | 03:03 |
| EMPulse | kfizz, This sucks, do you think during the 9.1-0 update a virus might've come through with it | 03:03 |
| === JEEBcz is now known as JEEB | ||
| Shane_ | kevdog: ok, will try, thanks | 03:03 |
| Dr_Willis | gh0st: try it and see. | 03:03 |
| ardchoille | gh0st: you need a partition number and sudo | 03:03 |
| kfizz | EMPulse, if you got the update through the repositories then I'd be willing to say the chances of a virus coming with it are < .00001 % | 03:03 |
| kevdog | Shane_: Just a glimmer of hope -- seems confusing but its really easy | 03:03 |
| gh0st | im in busy box, no sudo needed | 03:03 |
| ardchoille | ah, ok | 03:03 |
| ardchoille | gh0st: and you probably want to mount to /media/cdrom | 03:04 |
| EMPulse | kfizz, I had third party repositories but the update-prog disabled them all before the download. | 03:04 |
| kfizz | elconsulto, try running sudo apt-get install jscalibrator instead of using the deb | 03:04 |
| mrpwnage | Dr_Willis: Is it only the latter that are normally blocked because I have not tried F1 since thats normally for kernal console output. | 03:04 |
| gh0st | im struggling to get the USB device mounted, cause i just realised, i could even Symlink the files if needed | 03:04 |
| kfizz | EMPulse, that's what I figured, so I highly doubt that's how you got a virus, if you did | 03:04 |
| dew5 | hey guys n girls | 03:04 |
| Caliginous1 | why can I not add root as a password? | 03:04 |
| mrpwnage | Dr_Willis, is it /etc/inittab that I should edit to allow other ones? | 03:05 |
| Caliginous1 | oops | 03:05 |
| Caliginous1 | I want to add root account | 03:05 |
| Caliginous1 | but i can't | 03:05 |
| EMPulse | kfizz, the problems happen right after the updates, do you think there was a program in my system that downloaded and installed a program around that time? | 03:05 |
| Caliginous1 | home come? | 03:05 |
| mrpwnage | Caliginous1: there is already a root account | 03:05 |
| Satzo | !ask | dew5 | 03:05 |
| ubottu | dew5: 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. :-) | 03:05 |
| XStatik | Whats directory should a shoutcast server be installed in | 03:05 |
| gh0st | interesting, i cant get the stick to mount.... | 03:05 |
| mrpwnage | Caliginous1: whqat do you mean? | 03:05 |
| dew5 | how do i determin which bit version to use 64 or 32? | 03:05 |
| Satzo | dew5, how much ram you got? | 03:05 |
| elconsulto | kfizz: E: Couldn't find package jscalibrator | 03:06 |
| kfizz | EMPulse, it's possible, though I would say it's more unlikely. Are you one to install many many programs? | 03:06 |
| mrpwnage | dew5: are you an experienced user of 32 or 64? | 03:06 |
| Caliginous1 | mrpwnage: well, from gftp-admin i tried to add account "root" with a passowrd "xxxxx" , but it said i cou8ld not for protection reasons | 03:06 |
| kfizz | elconsulto, do you have the universe repositories enabled? | 03:06 |
| ardchoille | !info jscalibrator | 03:06 |
| Caliginous1 | I need to do this to test somke software | 03:06 |
| ubottu | Package jscalibrator does not exist in karmic | 03:06 |
| mrpwnage | Caliginous1: it's because you are using ubuntu. | 03:06 |
| dew5 | Satzo thanks so its the spects of your computer that determins the bit version? | 03:06 |
| elconsulto | kfizz: i think so, i tried searching for it earlier though, ill try again | 03:06 |
| ardchoille | !root | Caliginous1 | 03:06 |
| ubottu | Caliginous1: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 03:06 |
| dew5 | mrpwnage: 32 | 03:06 |
| kfizz | elconsulto, jscalibrator doesn't exist in karmic as ardchoille pointed out. | 03:07 |
| kishore | how to check if my microphone port is working? | 03:07 |
| mrpwnage | dew5: then use 32 | 03:07 |
| Satzo | dew5, not at all, but if you have 8Gb or so I would consider 64 bit | 03:07 |
| EMPulse | kfizz, I don't think I install that many programs, the ones I do I get from the repository usually. If its a virus, why would it randomly redirect my http requests. | 03:07 |
| Caliginous1 | mrpwnage: can I use users settings dialog to change root pass? | 03:07 |
| dew5 | oh ty both | 03:07 |
| Caliginous1 | or this is not good idea? | 03:07 |
| EMPulse | kfizz, do you think my ip might be targeted in a middle-man attack? | 03:07 |
| mrpwnage | dew5: you will find many packages lacking and (actually non-existent) if you chose 64 | 03:07 |
| maco | Caliginous1: no you cant and no its not a good idea | 03:07 |
| ardchoille | !sudo | Caliginous1: There is no need to add a root password: | 03:07 |
| ubottu | Caliginous1: There is no need to add a root password:: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) | 03:07 |
| mrpwnage | Caliginous1: sudo passwd | 03:07 |
| elconsulto | kfizz: odd, ill look into that | 03:08 |
| Satzo | mrpwnage, i just installed 8Gb ram today, im on the fence to go 64 bit for that reason.... | 03:08 |
| EMPulse | kfizz, given that https requests are unaffected | 03:08 |
| ardchoille | mrpwnage: That is neither supported nor recommended. Please don't teach people that here | 03:08 |
| kfizz | EMPulse, you never know what malware will do. It may be designed simply to mess with your. Or it could just be some bug that's hard to track down. | 03:08 |
| Caliginous1 | ubottu: I need to add a password to test software I wrote. They have passwordfor root on their machine | 03:08 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 03:08 |
| mrpwnage | ardchoille: please explain. | 03:08 |
| kfizz | EMPulse, that is possible, now that you mention it. | 03:08 |
| ardchoille | !sudo | mrpwnage Please read: | 03:08 |
| ubottu | mrpwnage Please read:: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) | 03:08 |

| gdiz_ | hey everyone I am looking to get MPD up and running and I am having trouble connecting from outside of the box running mpd. I can get mpd running using "localhost" as the server but then when I try to connect via another computer or even on the computer running mpd with the actual ip address (192.168.0.199), I get nothing. Do you have any ideas? | 03:09 |
| lasivian | ok, I made several shares in my fstab and they are all appearing on my desktop, how can I keep them from appearing on my desktop (they are directed towaqrds the /media dir) | 03:09 |
| EMPulse | kfizz, if I find the bastard who's doing this I'm going to tracerroute and DDoS the hell out of him. | 03:09 |
| Caliginous1 | I wrote software to log into ftp account that has root as a user | 03:09 |
| kishore | Satzo: Hello Satzo,i want one more help today..could u pls let me know how i can test whether my microphone port is working? | 03:09 |
| ardchoille | Caliginous1: No one i their right mind would use ftp as root | 03:09 |
| Satzo | kishore, accessories > sound & video > sound recorder | 03:10 |
| mrpwnage | Satzo: because it's a workaround in 32 bit. with that much ram I would go gung ho and make a dent. :) | 03:10 |
| maco | Caliginous1: ssh and ftp are two things where you REALLY want root login disabled | 03:10 |
| kfizz | EMPulse. Haha, that's always one way to get 'em back. Just be careful. And for ethical/legal reasons, I don't recommend it :) | 03:10 |
| System-7 | Hello. How do I start Ubuntu with ACPI disabled? | 03:10 |
| Caliginous1 | I WROTE A JAVA PROGRAM FOR A CLIENT, I WANT TO TEST IT, PART OF THE PROGRAM FTP'S FILES TO A SERVER. THEIR FTP SERVER HAS "root" AS USER. THEREFER, I WANT TO ADD IT TO MY FTP SERVER SO I CAN TEST THAT MY FTP PART OF APP WORKS | 03:10 |
| Geoffrey2 | it probably doesn't need to be said, but I hate to assume anything....if you don't have a 64 bit processor, obviously don't try to use the 64 bit version of Ubuntu... | 03:10 |
| Satzo | mrpwnage, im considering :) :) | 03:10 |
| kishore | Satzo: It says stream has no data when i record my voice | 03:10 |
| maco | Caliginous1: id rewrite that software to not make assumptions of terrible security | 03:10 |
| Satzo | kishore, goto terminal and type alsamixer | 03:10 |
| Satzo | see whats going on | 03:10 |
| ardchoille | Caliginous1: I feel you need to rewrite that software for user use, not root | 03:11 |
| ubunewb | solifugus: | 03:11 |
| mrpwnage | Satzo: i would. just there are some packages that you will have to deal with keep in mind. | 03:11 |
| EMPulse | kfizz, he can have fun complaining to the courts about getting DDoS after spoofing my connections | 03:11 |
| ubunewb | oops | 03:11 |
| Ntemis | i have installed latest flash player but still have flickering issue | 03:11 |
| Sacho | Caliginous1: why is the user hardcoded? can't you just change it to "someuser"? | 03:11 |
| Ntemis | in full screens | 03:11 |
| mrpwnage | Satzo: I have used 64bit system and it's more responsive. | 03:11 |
| Caliginous1 | I can not do that. | 03:11 |
| Caliginous1 | it is there machine their setup | 03:11 |
| Ntemis | flash video in full screen flickers badly | 03:11 |
| EMPulse | kfizz, clamav is installing, do you know the commandline to scan all systems? | 03:11 |
| Sacho | but you want to test it on your ftp server. | 03:11 |
| System-7 | I'm not sure where to enter something like "acpi=off" | 03:12 |
| Caliginous1 | I'm only testing... I could careless the whys and whatf fors they did that | 03:12 |
| ardchoille | Caliginous1: You seem to be supporting very bad security practices | 03:12 |
| Sacho | for which you can change the user to a testuser :) | 03:12 |
| Satzo | mrpwnage, once i learn how to dd my / partition, and learn how to reinstall without wrecking /home, ill go 64 bit | 03:12 |
| Caliginous1 | ardchoille: so what? I have no idea how it used that is not my job to question | 03:12 |
| Caliginous1 | screw it | 03:12 |
| Caliginous1 | i'll force it by editing config files | 03:12 |
| Caliginous1 | hehehe | 03:12 |
| ubunewb | Hi! So, I accidently installed "libg11-mesa-swx11", how do I remove it without making ubuntu uninstall the dependencies? | 03:12 |
| chilli0 | How can i scan over a network in xsane ?( the host is ubuntu) | 03:12 |
| joshritger | I am using ndiswrapper to get my wifi card to work, I had an install up and running with this card in the past, the problem is that I see my network but it always fails when it is obtaining the IP Adress. I followed the ndiswrapper documentation also. Any ideas? Oh and I have wicd installed currently, but it was not working with network manager | 03:13 |
| kfizz | EMPulse, unfortunately I do not. I've never used clamav, I just know it's probably the most popular *nix AV | 03:13 |
| System-7 | Does anyone know? | 03:13 |
| EMPulse | kfizz, thanks I'll check the man | 03:13 |
| Sacho | Caliginous1: you can do sudo passwd | 03:13 |
| ubunewb | I don't want 172 MB to be freed. :( | 03:13 |
| Sacho | Caliginous1: that is written in the link they gave you twice. | 03:13 |
| Caliginous1 | Sacho: yeah, but i will also have to manually edit wuftp-d config files because UI will not let me add "root" as user because it is security risk | 03:14 |
| System-7 | Hi. | 03:14 |
| kfizz | EMPulse, have you tried using w3m and seeing if it causes the same redirects? It's pretty lightweight, being only text-based, so it could help troubleshoot... | 03:14 |
| mrpwnage | Satzo: Multilib is what you need for 32bit apps on 64 bit systems. | 03:14 |
| Caliginous1 | Sacho: thanks reading it now!!! | 03:14 |
| Caliginous1 | thanks ppl and by bye! | 03:14 |

| clearzen | I've added sshfs mounts to be automatically mounted on startup. I've also copied id_dsa.pub from my desktop to the server. But it still asks for a password, any idea why? | 03:14 |
| System-7 | hello | 03:14 |
| slestak | i have screwed up my gdm trying to downgrade it from 2.28 to 2.20 | 03:14 |
| EMPulse | kfizz, I'll install it, what is it? | 03:14 |
| kishore | Satzo: Thanks :)..now it seems to be working..donno how !! | 03:14 |
| kfizz | EMPulse, it should be installed by default, it's a text-based web browser | 03:15 |
| khensthoth | ubunewb: Dependencies grabbed during the installation of a package aren't remove when you remove that package unless you specifically issue a command to remove it. | 03:15 |
| Satzo | kishore, look at you go. :P You'll be in here helping others in no time | 03:15 |
| crazygir | any wacom users around? I'm reading that 9.04 has support for wacoms out of the box, though I haven't had such luck. is there any specific confugration needed? | 03:15 |
| slestak | the only errors i see appear to be in :0-greeter.log | 03:15 |
| mrpwnage | Satzo: you will also need a 64 bit gcc to compile apps for 64bit bud. | 03:15 |
| kfizz | EMPulse, just fire up a terminal and type w3m www.something.com | 03:15 |
| newbutnu | greetins. Strange question, I would like to click the mouse over a picture of something, I would like | 03:15 |
| EMPulse | kfizz, thanks, doing it now | 03:15 |
| kishore | Satzo: Will definitely..if i can :0 | 03:15 |
| System-7 | aloha | 03:15 |
| kfizz | Then, from there type U (capital) and you can go to different websites | 03:15 |
| Satzo | mrpwnage, im not near ready for that learning curve.. last time i compiled stuff was 80s with 6809 assembly language | 03:15 |
| kfizz | EMPulse, see above, and also, obviously you can't see things like flash video, adobe refuses to release a flash plugin for w3m ;) | 03:16 |
| slestak | pastebinning the file now | 03:16 |
| mrpwnage | Satzo: bro, nothing to compiling | 03:16 |
| newbutnu | the mouse click time/locations to be translated into a file such as "x:#,y:#,t:#" | 03:16 |
| ubunewb | khensthoth: Can I remove only that package i.e "libgl1-mesa-x11"?? | 03:16 |
| System-7 | hola | 03:16 |
| EMPulse | kfizz, its playing nice right now, I've got to find a domains that gives me a redirect | 03:16 |
| ubunewb | ubunewb: It changed the opengl renderer from "Mesa Intel...." to "Mesa X11". Now I can't seem to open any windows. | 03:16 |

| researcher1 | which application in UBUNTU can provide One teacher terminal and many student terminals? | 03:17 |
| Satzo | mrpwnage, I found a primer on multilib --> http://www.redhat.com/magazine/009jul05/features/multilib/ | 03:17 |
| kfizz | EMPulse, if you do find out that it gives you a redirect it reinforces the fact that the problem lies at your end (since all other comps on your network are acting nice). If it doesn't, it makes things more confusing :) Anyways, I hope you get things figured out, but I have to go for now, I might be on later. | 03:17 |
| System-7 | so, can anyone help me? | 03:18 |
| Satzo | !ask System-7 | 03:18 |
| System-7 | I did | 03:18 |
| slestak | researcher1: Multiseat X can do that | 03:18 |
| EMPulse | kfizz, thanks for all the help | 03:18 |
| mrpwnage | Satzo: if you get a pm from spooks, it's cool he's a bud. | 03:18 |
| kfizz | EMPulse, no prob. best of luck. | 03:18 |
| gmachine_24 | Hey - I bought a new computer which runs the 64-bit version of Vista Home Premium - which I plan to replace with Ubuntu 9.10. Is there a 64-bit version other than the AMD64-bit version - i.e. is there a 64-bit version for Intel computers? | 03:18 |
| EMPulse | kfizz, btw, w3m doing the same thing as all the browsers | 03:18 |
| EMPulse | kfizz, looking like a middle-man attack | 03:18 |
| slestak | gmachine_24: same works on both | 03:18 |
| khensthoth | ubunewb: You can remove that package, although I don't know if it's going to help solve your problem. | 03:18 |
| Billiard | gmachine_24: amd64 is for intel also | 03:18 |
| gmachine_24 | slestak, Billiard, OK guys, thanks. | 03:19 |
| Satzo | mrpwnage, ok | 03:19 |
| slestak | gmachine_24: good luck with it | 03:19 |
| kfizz | EMPulse, so it's definitely not an application issue. Hopefully either clamav finds something or you can find some other way to get it resolved....did you reset your router after resetting your pw? | 03:19 |
| System-7 | Okay, here goes again: How can I get Ubuntu to boot with acpi disabled? | 03:19 |
| EMPulse | kfizz, yeah, I might have to just do a clean reinstall, thanks for all the help | 03:20 |
| gmachine_24 | System-7 can you disable ACPI in the BIOS? | 03:20 |
| DasEi | !bootoptions | system-7 | 03:20 |
| ubottu | system-7: For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions | 03:20 |
| System-7 | no | 03:20 |
| researcher1 | thanks slestak | 03:20 |
| slestak | System-7: i _think_ you can put noacpi on your grub kernel parameters line | 03:20 |
| kfizz | EMPulse, alrighty, good luck. And you could try a live cd instead of a reinstall right away. | 03:20 |
| Satzo | System-7, i googled disable acpi ubuntu and got hits | 03:20 |
| EMPulse | kfizz, yeah, thanks | 03:20 |
| System-7 | okay, is "noacpi" the command or "acpi=off"? | 03:20 |
| slestak | at the grub menu, you can choose e to edit it and try it for one boot before you commit it to menu.lst | 03:20 |
| nbros652 | I have a computer that was dropped, and I would like to check the integrity of the hard drive. Is there any utility available that accomplishes these purposes? | 03:21 |

| EMPulse | viruses on linux | 03:22 |
| EMPulse | that's the end of the world | 03:22 |
| khensthoth | EMPulse: Probably scanning files inside a folder, or folders inside of folders. | 03:22 |
| EMPulse | khensthoth, oh, cool. | 03:22 |
| DasEi | EMPulse: directories includes, win files ? which ones ? | 03:22 |
| Satzo | nbros652, fsck | 03:22 |
| EMPulse | DasEi, this is a pure linux install | 03:23 |
| EMPulse | DasEi, don't think there are any win files left over after 5 years | 03:23 |
| DasEi | EMPulse: where you can also /l winstuff | 03:23 |
| khensthoth | researcher1: http://www.x.org/wiki/Development/Documentation/Multiseat | 03:23 |

| System-7 | I can boot the live CD fine | 03:28 |
| Sacho | mezquitale: are you sure all its files are accessible by your user | 03:29 |
| slestak | mezquitale: is it installed in /home or by apt? | 03:29 |
| System-7 | as long as I press F6 and choose acpi=off | 03:29 |
| Johnn | moving a radeon driver in there but it says only owner can do it | 03:29 |
| DasEi | EMPulse: any names/idents ? | 03:29 |
| System-7 | but the install just hangs | 03:29 |
| Johnn | its just /home | 03:29 |
| DasEi | System-7: you used the check integrity function of it ? | 03:29 |
| epinky | Johnn: sudo mv ? | 03:29 |
| mezquitale | Sacho, I installed quake3 in /usr/local/games/quake3, I used to be able to do that, havent played quake3 in a long while, I installed a fresh copy of karmic, now quake only runs using sudo | 03:29 |
| EMPulse | DasEi, can't find an option that lets me see the id on the virus, prob be in the log after the scan finishes | 03:30 |
| System-7 | You mean of the CD? | 03:30 |
| Johnn | so that's sudo mv [file] [dest] | 03:30 |
| DasEi | EMPulse: right, ah still running | 03:30 |
| mezquitale | slestak, you cant install quake3 using apt, you have to follow directions from the forum | 03:30 |
| Sacho | mezquitale: can you check what permissions the quake folder has | 03:30 |
| slestak | mezquitale: sorry | 03:30 |
| genii | Johnn: /home is not where a users files are. They are in /home/username | 03:30 |
| System-7 | the CD was fine | 03:30 |
| mezquitale | Sacho, I changed the permissions in my home directory, the permissions on /usr/local/games/quake3 are for root | 03:31 |
| Johnn | okay I'm trying to follow instructions here:http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=295657 | 03:31 |
| DasEi | System-7: kinda machine you install to ? | 03:31 |

| genii | Johnn: When an instruction says something to the effect: copy the file to your home folder it means: copy the file to /home/your-username-here | 03:32 |
| Sacho | mezquitale: "the permissions are for root"? Depending on where quake3 is writing its files, you might need write permissions on those files, and you at the very least need read permissions, and possibly execute permissions on the executable | 03:32 |
| Johnn | okay. Thanks for the help. | 03:32 |
| DasEi | Johnn: are you trying to install prop driver for x 1400 ? | 03:32 |
| System-7 | I think it may be ignoring the acpi=off command | 03:33 |
| elconsulto | is there a good HD 5870 driver yet? | 03:33 |
| DasEi | System-7: ok , Ill pass on this no mac user | 03:33 |
| mezquitale | Sacho, in other words I should install quake3 in my home directory? I was able to install it in /usr/local/games some time ago though | 03:33 |
| Spoom | hi folks, i'm attempting to burn a dvd iso to a dvd+r disc and getting errors in both brasero and dvdrecord; cdrecord gives me: | 03:33 |

| Spoom | dvdrecord: Drive does not support TAO recording. | 03:34 |
| Sacho | mezquitale: try moving it to your home and chowning it to yourself, if it runs, then it was a permissions problem :) | 03:34 |
| Orion777 | anyone know how tome have it automatically put in a pw for an app? cause I have to do it everyti | 03:34 |

| mezquitale | Sacho, do you know how I would uninstall quake 3?!? | 03:35 |
| chronos | como eu consigo fazer com que algo recheque os pacotes e reinstale eles todos? | 03:35 |
| Sacho | no idea, if you installed it with apt-get, you can remove it through it... | 03:35 |
| chronos | eu desconfio que tenho algumas libs/executaveis corrompidos no sistema | 03:35 |
| altavatar | Ive encrypted a softraid raid1 dev w/ 2 drives using dm-crypt and luks. Im trying to test stopping the raid, removing one of the drives, and mounting it (decypted). everytime I try cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdb4 It gives me an error and if I check /proc/mdstat i see that it's been re-added to the array. This after i failed the dev, removed it from the raid array and stopped the raid array. It appears like cryptse | 03:35 |
| Sacho | if not, it might just be in one dir, so you could just delete that *shrug* | 03:35 |
| mezquitale | Sacho, have you ever used quake 3? You cant install quake 3 using apt-get | 03:35 |

| * phillipsm wonders how you download something with no network connection | 03:41 | |
| DasEi | Johnn: did you check the hardware-drivers section ? | 03:41 |
| Sacho | phillipsm: unsuccessfully? | 03:41 |
| Johnn | do I need to go ahead with the fglrx install first | 03:41 |
| Shane_ | i am trying to do this | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1266620 | but am stuck on the fwcutter part, since i dont have any network connectivity and ubuntu cant find the package | 03:41 |

| System-7 | Anyone know why the ubuntu LiveCD is working for me, but not the actual install? | 03:43 |
| Johnn | I didn't when I started on this journey. I've since created one myself, pasted in info someone on the forums provided but it doesn't seem to be card-specific so I'm not sure if it's doing anything at all | 03:43 |

| zcat[1] | Orion777: are you talking about sudo passwords or stungs like email and IM and web page login passwords? those programs almost always have a 'save password' checkbox exactly for that purpose | 03:44 |

| zcat[1] | Orion777: which app? | 03:51 |
| Orion777 | firestarter | 03:51 |
| phillipsm | Shane_: try apt-get update...if your sources.list file is setup right it should pull all the packages from those repo's in | 03:51 |
| zcat[1] | firestarte already launches itself at startup doesn't it? | 03:52 |
| phillipsm | Shane_: i get "b43-fwcutter - Utility for extracting Broadcom 43xx firmware" when i do apt-cache search b43-fwcutter on my comp | 03:52 |

| jceggbert5 | What do you mean. "proprietary drivers" | 03:54 |
| chronos | khensthoth, this command not work here :) | 03:54 |
| epinky | holmser: "unrar --help" ; it must be something like unrar e -r *.rar | 03:54 |
| phillipsm | Shane_:ah...well if you can't even connect using ethernet you have other problems besides the wireless not working | 03:54 |
| zcat[1] | The rules configured by firestarter are applied to the kernel at bootup.. you don't need firestarter running to have 'a firewall' | 03:54 |

| bjorkintosh | a work around? | 03:58 |
| ardchoille | bjorkintosh: There's a netflix module for mythtv but that's the only one I know of | 03:58 |
| bjorkintosh | ah | 03:59 |
| DasEi | Johnn: an xorg should be there already, can try if catalyst-center (synaptic) runs on that , else that might be a problem on that btw I'm overasked | 03:59 |

| Hammerjak | last i heard, you won't be able to get netflix to work until moonlight (open source version of silverlight) hits 2.0 | 03:59 |

| fonebone | i wonder what went wrong | 04:00 |
| bjorkintosh | ah. sounds like there's work to be done yet on it. | 04:00 |

| fonebone | wonder what i can do to fix it | 04:02 |
| bjorkintosh | interesting. | 04:02 |
| chris231989 | look at your grub menu | 04:02 |
| fonebone | how can i do that during initial startup? | 04:02 |
| zcat[1] | there's a way to boot from the live CD or USB kernel with your existing root, and you can then add a kernel through the normal package management | 04:02 |
| zcat[1] | I've had to do it once or twice.. | 04:03 |
| chris231989 | or just reboot and look at the mnu, might haveto hit esc | 04:03 |
| zcat[1] | but not recently so I can't remember the details | 04:03 |
| Johnn | thanks, I'm getting fglrx from synaptic now. The problem I was having was no xorg in place, and directly editing that was how the help pages recommended configing a dual view | 04:03 |
| zcat[1] | If you've only changed the default entry, there may still be a working kernel that just isn't the default option any more. | 04:04 |
| fonebone | is there a key to hit when grub loads to stop it and look at the config or boot options? | 04:04 |

| chris231989 | -a | 04:04 |
| fonebone | hrmmm... i tried that.. just goes straight into the memtest... its very fast | 04:05 |
| fonebone | heh | 04:05 |
| chris231989 | i relized i have no idea with grub2 | 04:05 |
| chris231989 | !grub2 | 04:05 |
| ubottu | GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 04:05 |
| dtownhero | how can I shrink the icons in the main menu? | 04:05 |
| System-7 | While trying to reinstall GRUB I get a message about "blocklists". I'll try a full reinstall first though before messing with that | 04:05 |
| earthling | hi .. is there any good source , how to for Linux virtual server | 04:06 |
| fonebone | think ifound somethin | 04:06 |
| Johnn | what does it mean when I enter code and am returned to a new prompt line with no feedback | 04:07 |
| epinky | !kvm | earthling | 04:07 |
| ubottu | earthling: kvm is the preferred virtualization approach in Ubuntu. For more information see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM | 04:07 |
| DasEi | Johnn: possibly fulfilled or forgot sudo | 04:08 |
| lstarnes | Johnn: it usually means that it worked, but that depends on what the command was | 04:08 |
| genii | Johnn: That the command successfully completed | 04:08 |
| earthling | epinky : thanks | 04:08 |
| fonebone | yipes.. im lost now... im in grub but no idea what to do.. think ill just wipe and reload | 04:09 |
| fonebone | haha | 04:09 |
| Johnn | but it was supposed to overwrite my old xorg and it hasn't. Should I reset x before trying to configure my new driver? | 04:09 |
| aceror | Wenas | 04:09 |
| earthling | fonebone : | 04:10 |
| fonebone | you just hold down shift to access the grub 2 menu btw | 04:10 |
| dtownhero | anybody know if you can shrink the icons in your main menu? | 04:10 |
| dtownhero | or get rid of them entirely | 04:10 |
| Johnn | you can remove by sys>pref>main menu | 04:10 |
| dtownhero | well I need to be able to see the stuff | 04:11 |
| dtownhero | I just want the menu to more proportionately look like the rest of my bars | 04:11 |
| dtownhero | the big old icons make the text large | 04:12 |
| datz | Hi, I want to update my packages via the command line. How can I do this? | 04:12 |
| dtownhero | datz: sudo apt-get update | 04:12 |
| dtownhero | datz: followed by sudo apt-get upgrade install | 04:12 |
| datz | dtownhero: thanks, how do I know if the system needs to be restarted? | 04:13 |
| ardchoille | datz: You usually won't need to reboot unless you've done something with the kernel | 04:13 |
| dtownhero | datz: only really need to reboot if you installed kernal packages | 04:13 |
| dtownhero | datz: it only warns you to reboot if you're using the update manager... also if you login to the system remotely via ssh | 04:14 |
| datz | yea, I know, but it seems everytime I update, about every two weeks, a restart is required | 04:14 |
| t0rc | How would I search all the files in a directory for a line of code? | 04:14 |
| mildred | I am looking for some assistance to find the gnome repository. I just installed mythbuntu, it uses xfce as the desktop. I want to install gnome but not all of the dependencies are available in the repository list. What repository do I need to add to get all the depenedncies so that I can install gnome? | 04:14 |
| dtownhero | datz: linus has been on a tear with kernal updates lately | 04:15 |
| datz | dtownhero: I'm on 8.04 now btw | 04:15 |
| dtownhero | datz: I think mostly due to the ext4 filesystem and some timing things | 04:15 |
| dtownhero | you're still probably using a fairly newer kernal | 04:15 |
| alankila | actually, it's kernel, dbus, probably glibc these days that prompt updates... but still, most of the time you can just ignore the restart requests. | 04:15 |
| alankila | hmm... prompt reboots I mean | 04:16 |
| MyGame | Hello | 04:16 |
| dtownhero | I still don't know why linux people think reboots kill baby seals... you can reboot whenever your system is ready for a reboot | 04:16 |
| alankila | there's all sorts of userland crap nowadays which can't be restarted without tearing too much stuff down. | 04:17 |
| StyleZed | hi! | 04:17 |
| StyleZed | i'm having issues connecting to a windows sbs 2008 machine using vpn configured using network-manager | 04:17 |
| StyleZed | my windows 7 install connects to the vpn flawlessly... however, ubuntu karmic koala drops the connection no matter HOW i configure it. Anyone got any tips? It is MOST frustrating not to be able to connect to the vpn under ubuntu seeing as i spend most of my time in linux.. pain in the ass to have to reboot into windows just to mount the shared drives over the vpn. | 04:17 |
| alankila | probably because it reminds people of windows | 04:17 |
| cfedde | dtownhero: it's just that some oses are ready more often than linux | 04:17 |
| MyGame | Hello | 04:17 |
| MyGame | all..... | 04:17 |
| datz | dtownhero: I only have access via ssh now, and I need to restart a bunch of stuff | 04:17 |
| dtownhero | datz: init 6 baby :s | 04:17 |
| dtownhero | or go kill stuff in init.d | 04:18 |
| datz | 6 eh | 04:18 |
| System-7 | GAH it still won't boot | 04:18 |
| dtownhero | datz: do sudo reboot | 04:18 |
| System-7 | It flashes a cursor then goes blank | 04:18 |
| datz | dtownhero: ok, thanks | 04:18 |
| dtownhero | datz: open another term and ping the host you needed and when it comes back up you can ssh back in | 04:18 |
| alankila | anyway, people have come up with a realtime kernel patching feature, maybe reboots due to kernel updates get fewer. | 04:18 |
| System-7 | The Live CD works fine, why won't the install BOOT! | 04:19 |
| === bunshiong is now known as brian99999 | ||

| StyleZed | has anyone experienced issues connecting to a pptp (windows server) vpn using ubuntu and gnome network manager? | 04:20 |
| datz | dtownhero: oh, yea..there's no indication of wheather a reboot is needed, right? | 04:20 |
| Billiard | System-7: did you install the boot loader? | 04:20 |
| StyleZed | System-7 installed grub? | 04:20 |
| System-7 | yeah | 04:20 |
| dtownhero | datz: not really, you should not have to if it's just a server you ssh into | 04:20 |
| System-7 | I get GRUB, but after GRUB it hangs | 04:20 |
| mildred | I am looking for some assistance to find the gnome repository. I just installed mythbuntu, it uses xfce as the desktop.

Can anone hlp m withthis? | 04:20 |
| dtownhero | datz: I may restart my server once a month | 04:20 |
| System-7 | I'm not sure if it ignoring the noacpi command | 04:21 |
| datz | dtownhero: it's probably been about that, expect for the mysterious restart that occured earlier today..which is part of the reason I want to update. :) | 04:21 |
| StyleZed | mildred: www.gnomefiles.org - check there | 04:21 |
| System-7 | I need to turn off ACPI, but I can't tell if noacpi is actually working | 04:21 |
| dtownhero | datz: would it hurt to reboot it? | 04:21 |
| dtownhero | datz: are you knocking the local churches website offline? | 04:22 |
| System-7 | I just add it anywhere in the GRUB command right? | 04:22 |
| dtownhero | datz: if not, do it. be brave. | 04:22 |
| StyleZed | so... im taking it noone connects to a windows vpn using ubuntu then? | 04:22 |
| carlosleon | Hi. | 04:22 |
| StyleZed | :/ | 04:22 |
| dtownhero | StyleZed: I do | 04:22 |
| datz | dtownhero: lol..nope, just checking, if there was indication of needed reboot, since ther isn't, goting to now | 04:22 |
| StyleZed | dtownhero how did you config your vpn please mate? | 04:22 |
| dtownhero | StyleZed: rather a juniper VPN | 04:22 |
| dtownhero | StyleZed: have you tried ShrewSoft? | 04:23 |
| StyleZed | no matter what i do in ubuntu connection fails... | 04:23 |
| System-7 | Does GRUB 2 use the same commands? | 04:23 |
| StyleZed | no what is shrewsoft? | 04:23 |
| vinpan | ok why cant i upload pictures to myspace or facebook? | 04:23 |
| dtownhero | Free VPN Client - I use it to connect to work VPNs | 04:23 |
| carlosleon | I've just installed Ubuntu Server but it seems like it doesn't have installed pppoeconf app for configuring such kind of connections. | 04:23 |
| dtownhero | in your package manager | 04:23 |
| StyleZed | oh ok i'll take a look at it. | 04:23 |
| StyleZed | thanks | 04:23 |
| dtownhero | !shrewsoft | StyleZed | 04:23 |
| dtownhero | let's see if that works | 04:24 |
| dtownhero | guess not | 04:24 |

Also for adding printers there is no longer an smb option, I am running Ubunt | 04:31 |

| DerKlempner | fxfritz: Go to System -> Preferences -> Keyboard -> Accessibility and check to see if sticky keys are enabled. | 04:57 |
| Billiard | duryodhan_: refuses? | 04:57 |
| DNS777 | use power off button if you cant reboot ot shutdown | 04:57 |
| DNS777 | :p | 04:57 |
| dassouki | all my javabased apps .. have lost their menus (file / edit ...) | 04:57 |

| hsmak | @dassouki give me an example of a jave-based app having this prob? | 04:58 |

| fxfitz | DerKlempner, Laptop. | 05:00 |
| DerKlempner | fxfritz: Do you know what ACPI is? Is it enabled or disabled on bootup? | 05:01 |
| DNS777 | duryodhan_: can you open console with Alt+Ctl+F1 at the blank screen? | 05:01 |
| fxfitz | DerKlempner, Hmm... I know it has something to do with power, but thats all I know. I have to check Bios right? :( | 05:02 |
| duryodhan_ | DNS777: no | 05:02 |

| DerKlempner | Capt_Blackwood: Brasero and K3B both support that, I believe. | 05:09 |
| elky | mrpwnage, why on earth would you want to? | 05:09 |
| mrpwnage | elky, to be in control of my own OS/computer. | 05:10 |
| Capt_Blackwood | now IS there a certain brand of Dual Layer DVD+Rs i need to get, or will just any do | 05:10 |
| khole | you can extract iso and write it | 05:10 |
| elky | mrpwnage, it's not something i recommend doing. we have sudo for the purposes of having the root user do things. | 05:11 |
| mrpwnage | heh | 05:12 |

| DerKlempner | Capt_Blackwood: From everything I've ever read about burning dual-layer discs, there seems to be more people that have success with DVD+R than DVD-R, but there's success for both. You may want to experiment with different types of discs. | 05:14 |
| Jeruvy | Capt_Blackwood: I never had good luck with +R's I always use -R's | 05:14 |
| mrpwnage | elky: fine, don't . how do you do it | 05:15 |
| mrpwnage | ? | 05:15 |
| mrpwnage | i don't give a dam whether you recommecd it | 05:15 |
| Capt_Blackwood | That's the thing...the images i'm downloading are too big for standard DVD+R... | 05:15 |

| Satzo | Orion777, a kill command in a script would do the trick | 05:26 |
| xous | how would I downgrade a kernel on ubuntu? | 05:26 |

| Phuzion96 | Satzo I have no way of deciphering exactly what that did... but by the looks of it something doesn't seem to be right w/ this | 05:41 |
| dassouki | hsmak: http://pastie.org/734945 | 05:41 |
| dassouki | geirha: /\ | 05:42 |
| Phuzion96 | satzo however I know something isn't right cause anywhere flash is required I just get the play triangle | 05:42 |
| Satzo | Phuzion96, you running firefox? | 05:42 |
| bokchoi | is there an ident daemon that runs automatically? or, if i enabled one in synaptic would it have started next reboot? cause i was hunting for one a while back and might have done that... | 05:42 |
| geirha | dassouki: update-alternatives --config java and update-java-alternatives are not the same | 05:42 |
| b0nn | is anyone capapble of helping with an upgrade issue? | 05:42 |
| Sierradump | ok. lsusb found the device? But how do I access it :( Is it safe to assume that if I have an sdb1-4 that I probably have an sda? | 05:43 |
| Phuzion96 | Satzo yes | 05:43 |
| Satzo | Phuzion96, try and either create a new firefox profile, or rename your old one and let firefox create a new one. try the flash install as i suggested earlier | 05:43 |
| Satzo | this will cross-test if your firefox profile is fuggered.. | 05:43 |
| bokchoi | ok actually i just checked synaptic and ident2 is the only daemon i have installed. when i try to run it, it says port already in use. can anyone help? | 05:43 |
| Sierradump | how do I browse "sdb1" etc... | 05:43 |
| geirha | dassouki: the former will only set a symlink for the java binary. The latter will set symlinks for everything related to that java-version. Like javac, java plugin etc | 05:43 |
| Sierradump | cd /sdb1 didn't work? | 05:44 |
| Satzo | Sierradump, /dev/sdb1 | 05:44 |
| Sierradump | ahh /dev/ first. Thanks. | 05:44 |
| jtaji | Sierradump: it has to be mounted first, type mount to see if it's already mounted somewhere | 05:44 |
| * Satzo never accesses USB drives that way... Satzo is guessing. | 05:44 | |
| Phuzion96 | Satzo create a new firefox profile? I'm still a bit of a newb to Linux | 05:44 |
| geirha | Sierradump: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt; cd /mnt; ls | 05:44 |
| Satzo | Phuzion96, ...sec | 05:44 |
| geirha | Sierradump: sudo umount /mnt when you're done | 05:44 |

| Sierradump | Got it! Thanks to all for your help. | 05:46 |
| DerKlempner | bokchoi: Port 113 is used for ident services. | 05:46 |
| Sierradump | weird that my USB stick has 4 partitions? | 05:47 |
| dassouki | geirha: I'm still confused | 05:47 |
| xtjacob | just a random question, I have an old computer and when ever I try to install ubuntu on it, I get a grub error saying something like cannot find UUID xxxxx... I've installed other versions of linux perfectly. I read on the ubuntu forums that this might be the hard drive. So could it be my hard drive, or just bad luck on my partitioning? | 05:48 |
| bokchoi | DerKlempner: i know this. but im trying to run an ident daemon called ident2 and it says the port is already in use. i've tried 'ps aux | grep ident' and nothing shows up. how can i find out what's running and using that port? | 05:48 |
| geirha | Sierradump: One usually only has one, but it's quite possible to have more partitions. Are you sure sdb is your thumb drive? Check the size of /dev/sdb in "sudo fdisk -l" output | 05:49 |

| dassouki | hsmak: thanks :D | 06:32 |
| geirha | duper: screen should have the ability to do that, but I've never done it so you'll have to google for a guide. | 06:32 |
| Coded1 | JavaAtom, you might have to remove network manager to get it out of the way first | 06:32 |
| JavaAtom | Coded1: rather, ther wasn't a wpa_supplicant.conf - there was an entire folder with ifupdown.sh, etc. | 06:32 |
| JavaAtom | Coded1: I just removed everything related to Gnome. | 06:33 |
| khensthoth | lostinspace_46: Maybe you could download this .deb instead of compiling from source | 06:33 |
| hsmak | dassouki: System --> Preferences --> Appearance --> Interfaces --> check the box "Show icons in menues" | 06:33 |
| Coded1 | JavaAtom, you have to make your own it doesn't show up automatically | 06:34 |
| hsmak | dassouki: don't tell me it hasn'e been fixed :) | 06:34 |
| Ongacska | Hozsanna britha'z | 06:34 |
| dassouki | hsmak: it's already checked but toolbar is set to icons only | 06:34 |
| bluejeans | blue_boy: poke poke | 06:35 |
| JavaAtom | Coded1: I get that -- here might be a better question: is there a way to have a stripped-down ubuntu installed? One without KDE/Gnome, but still have a "desktop" configuration? | 06:35 |
| JavaAtom | Coded1: Or do I need to switch over to server? | 06:35 |
| Coded1 | JavaAtom, install debian ;) | 06:35 |
| blue_boy | bluejeans: poke yourself | 06:36 |
| JavaAtom | Coded1: really? | 06:36 |
| jtaji | JavaAtom: there's xubuntu which uses XFCE | 06:36 |
| Coded1 | JavaAtom, Debian will give you all the options to select exactly what you want | 06:36 |
| hsmak | dassouki: no that's really strange. cuz whn I upgraded my system it was unchecked then I checked the box. mine is "Texts beside items" | 06:36 |
| JavaAtom | jtaji && Coded1: I like the collection of packages for ubuntu - can they still be used on Debian (or has it been the other way around?) | 06:37 |
| snow_ru | how to know details about my ethernet card ? | 06:37 |
| hsmak | dassouki: was everything fine before upgrading? | 06:37 |
| Coded1 | JavaAtom, shouldnt be a problem since they both use apt | 06:37 |
| SandGorgon | how do I add skype repo to Ubuntu AMD64. I am aware that it is only available as a 32-bit binary (and I have all ia32 libs installed.. the tar.gz version works fine), but can I not use synaptic for it | 06:37 |
| dassouki | hsmak: yes to the best of my knowledge | 06:37 |
| PratikAnand | hi...I'm installing chrome on virtual box, I've 1 GB of RAM, how much space do i need to allocate for virtual machine? | 06:37 |
| CptHowdy | sudo sh ./ati-driver-installer-9-3-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/source is the first command i ran | 06:37 |
| Coded1 | JavaAtom, Ubuntu is just a preconfiged debian distro | 06:37 |
| blue_boy | JavaAtom: debian has everything that ubuntu does and more... ubuntu is just spinoff of debia | 06:38 |
| dassouki | PratikAnand: #vbox | 06:38 |
| khensthoth | snow_ru: ifconfig? | 06:38 |
| JavaAtom | blue_boy & Coded1: Understood -- ubuntu just has its own repositories.' | 06:38 |
| blue_boy | JavaAtom: as does debian | 06:38 |
| snow_ru | khensthoth, I want to know its' maximum bandwidth ! | 06:38 |
| snow_ru | I meant hardware property | 06:39 |
| Coded1 | JavaAtom, ubuntu just has more repos but u can use any apt repo you want | 06:39 |
| JavaAtom | blue_boy: understood. I'll make the jump to debian then. Here's hoping they have DVD install media... | 06:39 |

| SandGorgon | ZykoticK9, does it work on AMD64 and does it include the newer 2.1 version ? | 06:40 |
| rumpsy | Every each file in my system turned to executable!! how to cancel all at once | 06:40 |
| dn4 | anyone here use flxer? | 06:40 |
| ZykoticK9 | SandGorgon, it works on AMD64 yes - not sure about what version they have | 06:40 |
| khensthoth | snow_ru: lspci (or see if "lspci | grep Ethernet" works), what Ethernet card does it say it is? | 06:40 |
| rumpsy | Every each file in my system turned to executable!! how to cancel all at once | 06:40 |
| Coded1 | rumpsy, lol do u still have the install disk? | 06:41 |
| ZykoticK9 | SandGorgon, 2.1.0.47-0medibuntu2 | 06:41 |
| rumpsy | no | 06:41 |
| SandGorgon | ZykoticK9, that should do... thanks! | 06:41 |
| Coded1 | rumpsy, would be a good idea to download it again ;) | 06:41 |
| rumpsy | What to download? | 06:42 |
| rumpsy | is there any option to remove those, chmod +x to all | 06:42 |
| Coded1 | rumpsy, thats a dangerous road | 06:43 |
| daredevilthere | Hey why does firefox become slow whn i browse for a while. v slow scrolling and v slow? | 06:43 |
| lasindi | Hi all, I'm trying to triple boot Ubuntu 9.10, Windows Vista and XP. I have them all installed, and Vista is detected fine, but not XP. My XP partition is on /dev/sda5, and I added this to my /etc/grub.d/40_custom: http://pastebin.com/m4a3130af When I try to boot XP, I just get a blank screen with a cursor at the top left cornerAny ideas? | 06:43 |
| rumpsy | Each and everyfile in my system turned to executable.. i don't know how it happened.. | 06:43 |
| S_A | Hi! I am using 9.10. the screen resolution in my system is showing only 800x600 and 640x480. xrandr is also showing only these 2 resolutions. can anyone tell me how can make it 1280x1024 | 06:44 |
| S_A | ?? | 06:44 |
| rumpsy | Any solution rather than new installation? | 06:44 |
| ZykoticK9 | rumpsy, did you happen to copy your system to a FAT or NTFS partition? | 06:45 |
| dn4 | !chrome | 06:45 |
| Coded1 | rumpsy, everything as an executable should'nt kill the system but its not great | 06:45 |
| rumpsy | no yesterday madly i did, chown -hR user / | 06:45 |
| dn4 | :-/ http://www.flxer.net/software/faq.php# | 06:46 |
| dn4 | can anyone get this to open up correctly in a browser http://www.flxer.net/warehouse/_flxer/ | 06:46 |
| Flannel | rumpsy: You certainly shouldn't have done that. | 06:46 |
| Gabs | Howdy. Got a question - is it possible to install ubuntu onto a blank SSD via a network boot? My LiveUSB has been an epic fail | 06:46 |
| Flannel | rumpsy: There's no easy solution other than reinstallation, no. | 06:47 |
| rumpsy | Still there is no restore option like windows, if then i can restore my previous condition.. | 06:47 |
| Flannel | rumpsy: You can however move /home to a separate partiton, so you won't lose your personal files/settings/etc, just have to reinstall the packages | 06:47 |
| rumpsy | Flannel: okay, as your wish i do.. | 06:48 |
| Flannel | rumpsy: Not currently, no. And to be honest, I've never once had those windows restore things work successfully :) | 06:48 |
| rumpsy | Flannel: ya sometimes for me to.. | 06:48 |
| rumpsy | Flannel: ya sometimes for me too.. :D | 06:49 |
| ZykoticK9 | rumpsy, if only ZFS was ported to Linux right now - that WOULD have a restore solution for you | 06:49 |
| rumpsy | okay i start my new installation. | 06:49 |
| System-7 | Does anyone else get this weird mouse lag every now and then in Karmic? | 06:49 |

| System-7 | then it comes back later | 06:50 |
| rumpsy | oh | 06:50 |
| htsb | haloooooo | 06:50 |
| Gabs | Anyone have an idea on network boots? | 06:50 |
| dn4 | where is the chrome in apt-get? | 06:51 |
| htsb | who anyone can configure camfrog on ubuntu | 06:51 |
| xtjacob | it's called chromium | 06:51 |
| xtjacob | i think you have to add a repo | 06:52 |
| System-7 | im getting it now | 06:52 |
| eddym | i need to mirror my drive what linux prg should iuse | 06:52 |
| htsb | can u all help me | 06:52 |
| ZykoticK9 | dn4, chromium is a game - chromium-browser is the web browser | 06:52 |
| Coded1 | Gabs, network boots? | 06:52 |
| Coded1 | Gabs, you mean install to a machine over the network? | 06:53 |
| dn4 | chrome! | 06:53 |
| Gabs | coded1: yeah. I can't get the LiveUSB to boot and install so I'm need some other method. | 06:53 |
| ZykoticK9 | dn4, if you want Google Chrome they have released BETA debs | 06:53 |
| dn4 | ZykoticK9: i'm gonna check out that chromium game sweet | 06:53 |
| Coded1 | Gabs, for the usb method you might have to make a change in the BIOS | 06:53 |
| Gabs | Coded1: I installed a blank SSD into my netbook and I need to get an OS onto it. I want Ubuntu 9.10 | 06:53 |
| Gabs | Coded1: I know that. | 06:54 |
| dn4 | http://www.google.com/chrome/intl/en/eula_dev.html?dl=unstable_i386_deb <-- liket his | 06:54 |
| Gabs | BIOS is already properly configured | 06:54 |
| Coded1 | Gabs, you can try using tftp | 06:54 |
| relic420 | how do i install the xvid Codedc on ubuntu? | 06:54 |
| System-7 | wait, how much memory can 32-bit Ubuntu read? | 06:54 |
| Coded1 | but you have to use a wired ethernet connection not wireless | 06:54 |
| ZykoticK9 | System-7, 3.2G | 06:54 |
| Gabs | Coded1: well my netbook is trying to use DHCP | 06:54 |
| sleepy_cat | I was suggested my someone to go in for a G31 motherboard.. is there a community where i can discuss all this | 06:54 |
| Gabs | I know that too | 06:54 |
| Gabs | my netbook is wired in | 06:55 |
| dn4 | sudo apt-get install chromium | 06:55 |
| System-7 | Hmm, it's reading 2.7 of my 4 | 06:55 |
| daredevilthere | How to find which codec is used in video ? | 06:55 |
| sleepy_cat | #join #just-shoot-me | 06:55 |
| losha | sleepy_cat: maybe #hardware ? | 06:55 |
| System-7 | maybe I should go 64 bit... though I'm weary of driver issues | 06:55 |
| sleepy_cat | ok thanks | 06:55 |
| Gabs | I wish I could boot from an SD-card ... | 06:55 |
| losha | daredevilthere: mplayer -identify might do it... | 06:55 |
| System-7 | The instructions for tweaks to my specific comp don't specify 32 or 64 bit | 06:56 |
| ulq | Anyone encountering issues after the most recent upgrade with Nvidia cards and grub/2.6.31-16 ? | 06:56 |
| daredevilthere | losha: wait il check | 06:56 |
| Coded1 | Gabs, this looks cool https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveCDShareThisCD | 06:56 |
| System-7 | I have nvidia, i don't know if it's the latest though | 06:56 |
| Gabs | Coded1: I did mention this is a netbook right? | 06:56 |
| losha | System-7: you can probably look the model number up and find out. It depends on the cpu... | 06:56 |
| Gabs | No CD-ROM | 06:56 |
| Coded1 | Gabs, the neat thing is you can just download any image on one machine and any other computer will pick it up | 06:57 |
| dn4 | what is System-7? | 06:57 |
| ulq | I cannot fathom for the life of me why after I upgrade Ubuntu, reboot my system, it breaks. | 06:57 |
| dn4 | !System-7 | 06:57 |
| System-7 | It's a 5,2 Macbook | 06:57 |
| Gabs | Coded1: will it work if my other machines are windows? | 06:57 |
| Coded1 | Gabs, u need a computer to have the install files connected to the same network as your netbook | 06:57 |
| dassouki | hsmak: any other ideas ? | 06:57 |
| eddym | hey guys need to mirror my internal drive what linux sw should i download? | 06:58 |
| guyvdb_ | Hi, what channel is best to ask about building a new kernel in ubuntu? | 06:58 |
| System-7 | also, any ideas on this weird mouse lag? | 06:58 |
| arghh2d2 | what is dn4? | 06:58 |
| arghh2d2 | !dn4 | 06:58 |
| relic420 | wow its dead lol | 06:58 |
| Coded1 | Gabs, what utility did you use to make your bootable usb drive? | 06:58 |
| losha | !backup | eddym (see if any of this helps) | 06:58 |
| ubottu | eddym (see if any of this helps): 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 | 06:58 |
| Gabs | coded1 - I've used both unetbootin and Live USB creator | 06:58 |
| System-7 | wait are you looking up my nickname? It's representative of Mac OS 7, a.k.a. System 7 | 06:58 |
| losha | Gabs: can't you use unetbootin to do a cd-less install onto the ssd? | 06:59 |
| System-7 | anyway, the mouse lag is back | 06:59 |
| Coded1 | Gabs, did you try using different usb ports? sometimes the machine will only boot off a particular port | 06:59 |
| arghh2d2 | what is youtalkinaboutwillis? | 06:59 |
| Gabs | Yes I've tried all 3 USB ports | 06:59 |
| Gabs | all I get is a black screen and a blinking cursor | 06:59 |
| Gabs | and I tried it on all my machines | 06:59 |
| Gabs | I think my USB stick is hosed somehow - I'm not sure. | 07:00 |
| eddym | losha, no | 07:00 |
| Coded1 | Gabs, dont know what to say then, tftp requires another machine connected to the same network via ethernet cable | 07:00 |
| Gabs | I've tried 9.04 and 9.10 too | 07:00 |
| Gabs | Well I have 4 machines | 07:00 |
| Gabs | but they all run windows | 07:00 |
| Gabs | will it work with windows? | 07:00 |
| Coded1 | Gabs, you might be able to find a windows program that will run as a tftp server | 07:00 |
| Gabs | or does one need Ubuntu for it to work? | 07:00 |
| System-7 | how can I kill this mouse lag? | 07:00 |
| Gabs | Now I have 9.10 on my desktop but it's having hardware issues. But could that work? | 07:01 |
| arghh2d2 | System-7: tiling window manager? i dont know for sure what you mean by mouse lag | 07:01 |
| Gabs | I need 9.10 UNR though | 07:01 |
| System-7 | the mouse starts lagging all of a sudden | 07:01 |
| System-7 | A reboot or suspend often gets rid of it | 07:01 |
| System-7 | but it comes back | 07:01 |
| Coded1 | Gabs, just check out that link it posted above | 07:02 |
| System-7 | My CPU isn't nearly being taxed | 07:02 |

| askvictor | I'm logged in to another computer over ssh, with X forwarding enabled. I can run xeyes and nautilus remotely and see the progs locally. However, when I try to run evince, I get "Cannot parse arguments: Cannot open display: " Any ideas? | 07:02 |
| arghh2d2 | System-7: i've never had that problem, sometimes the ball inside the mouse gets dirty and makes the cursor movement choppy. closest i've ever had to "mouse lag" | 07:03 |
| ZykoticK9 | askvictor, are you using "ssh -X ..." or "ssh -Y ..." ? if you're using X try it with Y | 07:04 |
| Gabs | Coded1: I am looking at the page but I'm quite following what to do | 07:04 |
| Coded1 | Gabs, the directions are at the bottom half | 07:04 |
| Gabs | Do I need to follow those steps on the other system? | 07:04 |
| Coded1 | Gabs, yuppers | 07:04 |
| Gabs | alright - see that was very unclear on the page | 07:05 |
| Coded1 | Gabs, most of it is copy / paste | 07:05 |
| Gabs | thank you | 07:05 |
| Coded1 | np | 07:05 |
| Gabs | Lemme give it a try | 07:05 |
| System-7 | Hey, heres something odd about the mouse lag: | 07:05 |
| System-7 | it goes away while im typing | 07:05 |
| losha | System-7: I've never seen anyone else report this symptom. Check your hardware.... | 07:06 |
| Gabs | Coded1: one question though - this looks like it's setting it up for Ubuntu 6.10 ... I want to install 9.10 UNR | 07:06 |
| arghh2d2 | System-7: if its an infared mouse you might check the battery | 07:06 |
| Coded1 | Gabs, the neat thing is once you have it set up you can install any machine just by pluging it into the network | 07:06 |

| brrant | can someone tell me how to change the default run level to 3 (cli) upon bootup. (I have a laptop that's too slow to adequately use X, but I want to keep X available.) | 07:07 |
| Gabs | Coded1: ok but how do I get 9.10 unr? | 07:07 |
| brrant | I've installed 9.10 | 07:07 |
| === dcliff is now known as dclifford | ||
| System-7 | nah, it's usb | 07:07 |
| arghh2d2 | brrant: you have to change the appropriate script in rc.d i think | 07:08 |
| Coded1 | Gabs, its no problem just download what ever distro you want as ISO and copy it to the folder | 07:08 |
| ZykoticK9 | brrant, just use "sudo mv /etc/init/gdm.conf /etc/init/gdm.conf-disabled" and GDM won't autostart! | 07:08 |
| losha | brrant: runlevels don't work properly in Ubuntu. I usually rename gdm and gdm-binary instead.... | 07:08 |
| brrant | ZykoticK9, if I do that, how do I perform the equivalent of "startx" when I need gnome? | 07:09 |
| ZykoticK9 | brrant, either use "startx" or "sudo services gdm start" | 07:09 |
| arghh2d2 | brrant: there should be a file in /etc/rc.d/ is named something like S03gdm ... change it to s03gdm it could be any number | 07:09 |
| arghh2d2 | brrant: losha may have made a better suggestion...i havent done this in ubuntu in a while | 07:10 |
| Coded1 | does anyone know what I have to install to be able to compile? i need gcc, make, et al ... I think there is a package that includes everything | 07:10 |
| askvictor | ZykoticK9: thanks, just tried that, but same problem | 07:10 |
| ZykoticK9 | brrant, don't start messing with other rc.d type files!!! if have a more complicated version of editing gdm.conf to prevent it from starting if you want... but 9.10 uses Upstart not init | 07:10 |
| losha | brrant: actually. I think ZykoticK9's solution is more elegant... | 07:10 |
| lstarnes | Coded1: build-essential | 07:11 |
| ZykoticK9 | askvictor, sorry no other suggestions for you man, good luck | 07:11 |
| askvictor | thanks anyways | 07:11 |
| Gabs | ugh I wish this was easier, or that at least the LiveUSB would work | 07:11 |
| arghh2d2 | brrant: yeah, believe in the ZykoticK9 one | 07:11 |
| losha | askvictor: try a different viewer xpdf, or ghostscript? | 07:11 |
| Coded1 | lstarnes, you are a gentleman and a scholar and there aren't many of us left | 07:11 |
| losha | Coded1: doing support over irc kicks the tar out of most of them eventually... | 07:12 |
| askvictor | losha: xpdf doesn't have the printing support I need, might have to look for others I guess | 07:12 |
| Coded1 | losha, at least its better then getting paid, you can just tell people on the internet to go away ;) | 07:13 |
| Gabs | hehe | 07:13 |
| ZykoticK9 | askvictor, have you tried Acroread? | 07:13 |
| Gabs | I dunno - I kinda like getting paid :p | 07:13 |
| brrant | ZykoticK9, I'm trying your suggestion now, just finishing making a seperate backup first :) | 07:13 |
| arghh2d2 | yeah, kick rocks | 07:13 |
| askvictor | ZykoticK9: no, but I _spose_ I could. | 07:13 |

| eddym | ZykoticK9, i can boot with clonezilla w/ cd? | 07:16 |
| System-7 | I'm probably alone in having Ubuntu on a mac here lol :P | 07:16 |
| losha | eddym: according to http://linux.softpedia.com/get/System/Hardware/Ghost-for-Linux-053.shtml it's a bootable cd image, so yes, you can just burn & boot it (warning: use image mode to burn the iso or it won't work) | 07:16 |
| ZykoticK9 | eddym, g4l yup (it's not REALLY ghost, ie Norton) - i'm on the trolley now | 07:16 |

| System-7 | I triple boot it with OS X and Windows | 07:18 |
| arghh2d2 | losha: he's addicted to freedom i suppose | 07:18 |
| dclifford | same here | 07:18 |
| losha | System-7: oh, love. Nuff said... | 07:18 |
| qlg | hi | 07:18 |
| arghh2d2 | hi | 07:18 |
| losha | eddym: the iso isn't a data file, it's an actual image of the final CD, so you have to tell your burning program to burn it as an 'image' or it won't boot.... | 07:19 |
| eddym | losha, gotcha.. yeah | 07:19 |
| eddym | losha, i did burn some iso's in the past | 07:19 |
| System-7 | I used to have this laptop I ran Ubuntu on, probably my favorite computer of all time... till faulty hardware ended our time together prematurely. | 07:19 |
| Gabs | Here's a silly question - does having both my desktop and netbook connected via ethernet through the same router make them networked (I'm guessing not) | 07:19 |
| brrant | ZykoticK9, Thanks, that will do the trick nicely | 07:19 |
| losha | System-7: I thought macs had a perfectly good implementation of *bsd running under the hood.... | 07:19 |
| nomad111 | hi all, is there a compiler in ubuntu that i can use to compile my program for sun solaris platforms? | 07:20 |
| dclifford | Gabs: yeah. | 07:20 |
| losha | Gabs: actually, it mostly does... | 07:20 |
| qlg | anbody use gtk | 07:20 |
| Gabs | losha - hmm well that's cool then | 07:20 |
| arghh2d2 | losha: osx is based on freebsd but it's closed source | 07:20 |
| Gabs | maybe this might work | 07:20 |
| ZykoticK9 | brrant, :) | 07:21 |
| System-7 | dclifford, I'm running Karmic here on a 5,2 Macbook, and I get this odd random mouse lag at times...it goes away with a reboot/standy/over time, then comes back later...any idea what's causing it? | 07:21 |
| eddym | losha, says brasero cant burn image | 07:21 |
| eddym | losha, what sw can i burn the image? | 07:21 |
| losha | nomad111: dunno if it's possible, but it's got to be more trouble than it's worth. How about running solaris under vmware instead... | 07:21 |
| losha | eddym: k3b, or from the command line... | 07:21 |
| System-7 | Also, if I move the cursor while typing, any lag goes away | 07:22 |
| yxz | go fuck all | 07:22 |
| === administrator is now known as Guest3138 | ||
| System-7 | not sure what is causing the problem | 07:22 |
| dclifford | System-7 no. sorry :\ are there any updates? | 07:22 |
| arghh2d2 | heheh wtf? | 07:22 |
| nomad111 | losha: i hear gcc can do it | 07:22 |
| nomad111 | ill have a read into that | 07:23 |
| eddym | lol. som1 is unhappy.. | 07:23 |
| System-7 | idk, there's a few now, probably should upgrade them... one is an input driver, possibly helpful | 07:23 |
| arghh2d2 | who's that? mister "go f all? | 07:23 |
| dclifford | System-7: I have all three on my macbook pro, and i've never had that. I don't see any reason why it would do that.... well, that input driver might help! lol | 07:24 |
| jeff__ | hey everyone, i'm trying to batch resize some pictures with "for i in `ls`; do convert -resize 256x256 -quality 100 $i $i; done", which works, but how do i get it to work recursively? | 07:24 |
| arghh2d2 | jeff__: you'd have better luck in #bash | 07:24 |
| losha | nomad111: probably, but it might be buggy, since I bet it doesn't get much use cross-compiling for sun/solaris.... | 07:24 |
| brrant | I have a Dell laptop, that won't use the Broadcom wireless card. Connecting via wire, I've installed bcmwl-kernerl-source package and rebooted, but the wireless card still isn't found | 07:24 |
| brrant | can anyone tell me how to get this engaged? It just worked under 8.10 | 07:25 |
| System-7 | I doubt its lag from CPU usage, nothings using much resources... I don't have access to all 4gb of memory, but 2.7 should be plenty I think, unless Karmic has much higher requirements than previous Ubuntu versions | 07:25 |
| dclifford | nah | 07:25 |
| ZykoticK9 | jeff__, your "for i in `ls`" is typically just "for i in *" | 07:25 |
| dclifford | System-7: try that driver and let me know what that does for you? | 07:26 |
| losha | jeff__: change 'ls' to 'ls -R' might work. Otherwise, you'll have to use find | 07:26 |
| dclifford | -? | 07:26 |
| System-7 | yeah I should restart X.... | 07:26 |
| dclifford | how do i add ubuntu to my mbr? | 07:27 |
| dclifford | or delete my mbr and use grub? | 07:27 |
| arghh2d2 | !grub | 07:28 |
| ubottu | 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. | 07:28 |
| dclifford | thx | 07:28 |
| milligan_ | I'm having problems installing wine on karmic. I installed wine1.2 as it's a dependency .. but when I now do sudo apt-get install wine, I get wine: Depends: wine1.2 but it is not going to be installed | 07:28 |
| Om3Ddragon | wow | 07:30 |
| timClicks | am trying to replicate a live usb with dd | 07:30 |
| DryGrain | How come the splash screen and login screen and default background on this installation of Karmic grey and black toned, but on the install I did from the CD I ordered from Shipit, it's the same orange theme as Jaunty? In GNOME, I mean. | 07:31 |
| timClicks | and the new drive wont load - screen moans about damaged / invalid boot partition | 07:31 |
| timClicks | but the source usb boots fine | 07:31 |
| boringwall__ | How would I write a block of text from inside a Bourne shell script to a file? | 07:32 |
| Om3Ddragon | if you use playonlinux you can use any wine version from there and ill be easy to play games or run programs there | 07:33 |
| boringwall | How would I write a block of text from inside a Bourne shell script to a file? | 07:33 |
| Bdfoster89_ | !patience | boringwall | 07:34 |
| ubottu | boringwall: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. | 07:34 |
| Ben64 | whats the command to find out which version of ubuntu i'm running? | 07:34 |
| askvictor | boringwall: cat > somefile.txt <<EOF | 07:34 |
| RaptorQuest | What is the best way to replace grub with grub2? | 07:35 |
| askvictor | then type your text, then finish with EOF on a line by itself | 07:35 |
| SmokeyD | hey people. Is there a bittorrent client that I can run as a daemon on my machine to start when the computer starts, and control through a gui? | 07:36 |
| Ben64 | SmokeyD: deluge | 07:36 |
| askvictor | SmokeyD: transmission has a deamon and web interface | 07:36 |
| milligan_ | Om3Ddragon, I need to get iTunes running ... but at the moment, wine is refusing to install :P playonlinux is just a frontend to wine, so that won't do me much good :) | 07:36 |
| askvictor | (which is quite like the standard transmission gui) | 07:36 |
| SmokeyD | askvictor: yeah, but it only starts when I login to my machine, not when the computer starts | 07:36 |
| SmokeyD | Ben64: Ok, I'll check it out | 07:37 |
| SmokeyD | thanks | 07:37 |
| lostinspace_46 | When installing a program, how does the install create the <filename.pc> file? I ask because my sqlite3.6.16 does not have a .pc file. | 07:37 |
| askvictor | SmokeyD: I have transmission-daemon running on startup | 07:37 |
| Ben64 | SmokeyD: dunno if it starts up automatically all the time, but that's easy to set up | 07:37 |
| Om3Ddragon | the thing is why do you need itunes on linux anyways | 07:37 |
| boringwall | askvictor - Where would the text that I would like to write to somefile.txt go? | 07:37 |
| milligan_ | Om3Ddragon, because I have an iPhone, and I hate windows? | 07:37 |
| Om3Ddragon | but you can still use itunes on playonlinux but ill be the version 7 I think | 07:37 |
| arghh2d2 | Om3Ddragon: he probly bought an overpriced device that started with a lower case i | 07:38 |
| SmokeyD | askvictor: ok, it doesn't need a graphical desktop to start? | 07:38 |
| SmokeyD | cool | 07:38 |
| SmokeyD | thanks | 07:38 |
| askvictor | SmokeyD: no | 07:38 |
| milligan_ | arghh2d2, I didn't buy it .. Got it free from work :) | 07:38 |
| arghh2d2 | milligan_: you trying to activate a brand new iphone? | 07:39 |
| milligan_ | nah - need it synced etc. | 07:39 |
| askvictor | SmokeyD: install transmission-daemon | 07:39 |
| lostinspace_46 | boringwall, Open the <somefile> add the text, save | 07:39 |
| Om3Ddragon | the only thing that won't work on linux is the ipod touch I think but he can use any other ipod in rhythmbox | 07:39 |
| boringwall | lostinspace_46, I want to write to the file from a shell script | 07:39 |
| SmokeyD | askvictor: great! thanks a lot. Found it. | 07:39 |
| arghh2d2 | milligan_: ther's no gaurantee it's gonna do that...i'd just take it work and activate on one of their computers | 07:39 |
| boringwall | e.g. if I have a script s.sh, I want to write "Hello World" to myfile.txt from within it | 07:40 |
| lostinspace_46 | boringwall, Have you looked at the "touch" manual? | 07:40 |
| powertool08 | Does anyone have any opinions on selinux or bastille? | 07:40 |
| arghh2d2 | Om3Ddragon: brand new iphones require itunes to get the latest software/patches before they can be activated | 07:40 |
| boringwall | I'd prefer to do it some way with "cat" | 07:40 |
| milligan_ | arghh2d2, that sounds like the "I give up solution". I don't give up. :) | 07:40 |
| lostinspace_46 | boringwall, I think the text can be used as an argument to touch. | 07:40 |
| Kiongku | boringwall: why not echo? | 07:41 |
| Om3Ddragon | well im a linux user I use the palm pre so sorry for you | 07:41 |
| nazzzux | How do I connect to an open network, hidden from scans? I know the ssid, and @ windows, that's all I need. | 07:41 |
| boringwall | Is there a way to do it without having to write > myfile.txt after each echo statement? | 07:41 |
| askvictor | boringwall: the concept you are looking for is a 'here file' - look it up (assuming you want to write more than one line of text) | 07:42 |
| co_1 | sangkakala11@yahoo.com | 07:42 |
| Om3Ddragon | in order to use linux phones I got palm pre webos was made by linus tor so that is the best option now in phone for linux you can be a dev there too | 07:42 |
| arghh2d2 | milligan_: whatever, you can rewrite wine while your at if you so gunho...i'm just saying, all that effort and then the wine runing itunes doesnt even sync up your new phone, i'd just take it to work and be done with it | 07:42 |
| Kiongku | boringwall: welcome to shell scripting.. nothing more to say.. | 07:42 |
| lostinspace_46 | When installing a program, how does the install create the <filename.pc> file? I ask because my sqlite3.6.16 does not have a .pc file. | 07:42 |
| milligan_ | arghh2d2, thanks for the input. I'll keep that at mind when I look for a workaround :) | 07:43 |
| al__ | is there a way, when copying files, to create the target directory if it doesnt already exist? | 07:44 |
| lostinspace_46 | And without the .pc file, I have an install that can't find sqlite. | 07:44 |
| Peter2222 | I configured vsftpd and after start it not work with config file properly, when i stop it, I can still connect by FTP!??? What can I check what service is still running? | 07:44 |
| arghh2d2 | has anybody seen that youtube video on the guy that installs linux on everything in the house? thats what some people in here remind me of | 07:44 |
| * powertool08 opens a new tab to youtube | 07:44 | |

| ubnoob | i am installing 9.10 on mymachine. wat file system should i use? | 07:45 |
| ubnoob | and what type to use? | 07:46 |
| Gabs | well maybe this other option I'm trying will work - I'm still downloading the files onto my other system first | 07:46 |
| Kiongku | hmm linux on everything.. nokia symbians?.. not maemo though | 07:46 |
| askvictor | ubnoob: ext3 or ext4 | 07:46 |
| System-7 | hmmm the lag is back, guess that didn't fix it | 07:46 |
| dclifford | darn | 07:46 |
| ubnoob | askvictor: wat about the type? primary or logical? | 07:46 |
| nazzzux | How do I connect to an open network, hidden from scans? I entered the SSID at thtr "New connection"-window, and that's all that I needed to do with windows. | 07:46 |
| lostinspace_46 | Alternatively, using other .pc files as a guide, can I create my own? | 07:47 |
| askvictor | ubnoob: ext3 is very well tested and stable, ext4 is faster for some things, but hasn't been around as long so _slightly_ more susceptible to data loss | 07:47 |
| askvictor | ubnoob: I use ext3 for servers, ext4 for desktops | 07:47 |
| Kiongku | ubnoob, depends on ur setup.. why not follow the auto partitioner? | 07:47 |
| ubnoob | Kiongku: i already had 8.10 and i am upgrading | 07:47 |
| ubnoob | Kiongku: so i am using its partition space to install 9.10 | 07:48 |
| askvictor | ubnoob: are you re-installing? | 07:48 |
| askvictor | or installing a new ubuntu instance in a new partition? | 07:48 |
| ubnoob | askvictor: no. upgrading to 9.10 from 8.10 | 07:48 |
| lostinspace_46 | ubnoob, Re-install instead of up-grade | 07:48 |
| ubnoob | lostinspace_46: ok | 07:49 |
| Kiongku | ubnoob: i concur with lostinspace_46 | 07:49 |
| lostinspace_46 | ubnoob, There are issues with up-grading | 07:49 |
| ubnoob | lostinspace_46: wat kind of partition space should i select ? logical or primary? | 07:49 |
| askvictor | ubnoob: an upgrade doesn't need re-partitioning. If you are in the partitioner screen, you are re-installing | 07:49 |
| askvictor | ubnoob: primary | 07:49 |
| Gabs | Bottom line my problem was I got a netbook with too small of an SSD, so I had to get a larger SSD and trying to do a fresh install without a CD-ROM has been a pain in the butt. | 07:50 |
| lostinspace_46 | ubnoob, On a fresh install just let the installer take care of it | 07:50 |
| dclifford | use unetbootin with the ubuntu iso to put it on a thumbdrive. thats how i do it, and it's easy and fast | 07:50 |
| askvictor | Gabs: did you use the netbook usb img? | 07:51 |
| Kiongku | Gabs: the usb are pretty good.. | 07:51 |
| Gabs | Well tht's the problem - I haven't been able to get the LiveUSB to work (yet) | 07:51 |
| askvictor | Gabs: is your BIOS set up to boot from USB? | 07:52 |
| Gabs | Of course | 07:52 |
| dclifford | what kind of netbook? | 07:52 |
| Gabs | I may not be that linux savvy but I'm not a total noob :p | 07:52 |

| Mystpr | hello. how to restart httpd? service httpd restart works for ubuntu? | 07:53 |
| dclifford | does the filesystem have anything to do with it? | 07:53 |

| rumpsy | You can try apache2 | 07:54 |
| Mystpr | rumpsy: service apache2 restart? | 07:54 |
| askvictor | Gabs: how far does the usb boot process go? | 07:54 |
| rumpsy | do you want to restart apache2 | 07:55 |
| Gabs | askvictor - no where - all I get is a black screen and a flashing cursor | 07:55 |
| Mystpr | rumpsy: yep | 07:55 |
| rumpsy | /etc/init.d/apache2 restart | 07:55 |
| rumpsy | this may help you | 07:55 |
| Ek|mu5 | clear | 07:55 |
| askvictor | Gabs: have you tried booting anything else via usb? | 07:56 |
| Ek|mu5 | whoops | 07:56 |
| Mystpr | rumpsy: may i add this command to crontab? | 07:56 |
| Gabs | ask - yes. same thing happened. I'm trying a different tactic right now. We'll see if this works. | 07:56 |
| dclifford | can you manually boot to the usb, rather than let it go through the boot order. like trying f12, or esc? | 07:56 |
| rumpsy | Mystpr:yep | 07:57 |
| Gabs | well lemme try this other thing first ... | 07:57 |
| Mystpr | rumpsy: Ok I added 0 4 * * * /etc/init.d/apache2 restart | 07:57 |
| SmokeyD | hey everyone, since the new dependency based startup stuff in ubuntu karmic, I can't use sysvconfig anymore can I? Which app should I use then to manage which daemons start in which runlevel? | 07:57 |
| Mystpr | rumpsy: Thanks | 07:57 |

| joseamunoz | Sierradump: There is a way to do that. Let me have a look | 08:19 |
| Yos | Sierradump, try lspci|grep VGA | 08:19 |
| DaZ | Sierradump: cat /proc/driver/nvidia/version | 08:20 |
| gOLDfeesh | !bad | 08:20 |
| gOLDfeesh | How would one clean / fix / repair bad sectors of a hard drive? fsck? | 08:20 |
| Sierradump | Daz: thanks that is what I was looking for. | 08:21 |
| gOLDfeesh | I'm trying testdisk and recoverrdm | 08:21 |
| gOLDfeesh | recoverdm* | 08:21 |
| DaZ | !tab | Sierradump | 08:21 |
| ubottu | Sierradump: You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 08:21 |

| ManDay | Is there a frontend to OpenVPN ? | 08:22 |
| joseamunoz | ManDay: Use Network Manager | 08:22 |
| ManDay | Ha | 08:22 |
| ManDay | I mean: Ah | 08:22 |
| gOLDfeesh | ManDay, try Network-Manager | 08:22 |
| ManDay | Thanks | 08:22 |
| joseamunoz | ManDay: sudo apt-get install network-manager-openvpn | 08:23 |
| ManDay | Ah. | 08:23 |
| ManDay | Because currently in network manager all the Buttons for VPN are grayed out | 08:23 |

| help_livecduser | partition issues :( | 08:32 |
| Sacho | Hello, I'm using jaunty, and from time to time(on no particular action), the system completely hangs, with all I can see there being a flashing caps lock. I can't switch to a terminal from the graphics manager, basically, the system becomes completely unresponsive. Does anyone have an idea what could be causing this, or how I could debug it? | 08:32 |
| help_livecduser | am currently on live cd need help from someone asap. please sort my partition issue .anyone? ? | 08:33 |

| help_livecduser | heres the screenshot - http://i47.tinypic.com/33nb97d.jpg | 08:36 |
| PND | AMD64 distribution isn't a good choice then... You should start with a i386 distrib, even if you're on a 64 bit processors. | 08:37 |
| richard_ma | In Ubuntu, Which script call the ~/.bashrc | 08:38 |
| help_livecduser | hmm but earlier installations didnt had this problem. . | 08:38 |
| PND | richard_ma, bash I guess. | 08:38 |
| PND | richard_ma, maybe /etc/profile too or /etc/bashrc | 08:38 |
| PND | Check there. | 08:38 |
| help_livecduser | i mean i had wiped my 160gigs a few months back.. n re-partitioned it. b4 tht all was fine. | 08:38 |
| PND | help_livecduser, it shouldn't be linked with this problem. It's weird actually. | 08:38 |
| help_livecduser | now whn i was trying 2 reinstall ubuntu after months | 08:39 |
| PND | help_livecduser, you're on the livecd right now ? | 08:39 |

| PND | help_livecduser, can you launch a gparted editor ? Maybe this one is buggy (would be weird, but you should try) | 08:40 |
| lint | can someone please help me? i am trying to use empathy im client but i am getting a message that my default keyring is locked and it wont accept my password | 08:41 |
| richard_ma | PND: There's no /etc/bashrc in my system, and /etc/profile call the /etc/bash.bashrc, but the /etc/bash.bashrc call no scripts~~ | 08:41 |
| PND | richard_ma, then bash should call it directly, I guess. | 08:41 |
| help_livecduser | PND, hmm k wait. . | 08:41 |
| joseamunoz | richard_ma: .bashrc is directly call by the bash shell | 08:41 |
| === richard is now known as Guest78338 | ||
| PND | richard_ma, you should read man bash, it explains there :) | 08:41 |
| duncan_ | lint, locked? try logging out and then in again. I can't see how it can be locked if you haven't done something. logging in again will reset its status. | 08:41 |
| richard_ma | PND: but my ~/.bashrc in ubuntu server edition not execute it | 08:42 |
| help_livecduser | PND, its still weird there. lemme grab a screenshot n upload.. stay here. need ur help :) | 08:42 |
| richard_ma | PND: So I guess some script call it | 08:42 |
| PND | richard_ma, .bashrc will be executed everytime a user log into the system. | 08:43 |
| PND | If no user logs, no .bashrc would be called. | 08:43 |
| richard_ma | PND: I have logout and login many times. | 08:43 |
| duncan_ | how can I see if network-manager is running? I see no network icon and can't get online on that machine. | 08:43 |
| richard_ma | PND: OK, I'll read the bash manpage. | 08:43 |

| dew5 | im having trouble burning a dvd data disk | 08:48 |
| help_livecduser | so any solution for me? | 08:48 |
| PND | It could write on the wrong partition without knowing it, and format it. | 08:48 |
| richard_ma | joseamunoz: Thx, I'm reading the bash manpage. Later, I'll read this page. | 08:49 |
| dew5 | i cant see my dvd drive it only says cdrom??? | 08:49 |
| dew5 | please help | 08:49 |
| help_livecduser | hmm well thats wht i fear. . it shouldnt format the missing partition | 08:49 |
| zcat[1] | help_livecduser: I would suggest go back to windows and using the same tools make the part of the disk you want to use 'unallocated' .. then you can be pretty sure ubuntu is installing in the right place and nothing is being overwritten | 08:49 |
| Bdfoster89_ | !patience | dew5 | 08:49 |
| ubottu | dew5: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. | 08:49 |
| PND | help_livecduser, I would save data and partition it again with gparted or fdisk... But that's maybe pretty hard. | 08:50 |
| help_livecduser | zcat[1], would the live disc show me the unallocated space properly ? | 08:50 |
| alesan | hi how to get newest Thunderbird 3.0?? | 08:50 |
| help_livecduser | PND, that means whole loads of backup n reinstalling windows 2 b safe.. :( | 08:51 |
| zcat[1] | help_livecduser: yes, and it will give you the option of installing to the unallocated space... | 08:51 |
| help_livecduser | zcat[1], i m nt sure. bt windows wud allow me to just remove the partition ? i mean 2 make it unallocated ? | 08:51 |
| rolo | skype won't run on my 8.04 ubuntu linux. I have installed the skype-ubuntu-hardy_2.1.0.47-1_386.deb | 08:52 |
| Slart | alesan: If it was released just recently you'll probably have to wait for 10.04 before it shows up in the repos.. you could of course compile it from source but I'm not sure if the ubuntu people adds something special of their own to the regular ubuntu version | 08:52 |
| PND | help_livecduser, that's why it's a hard solution. Maybe there's something to do to "fix" it... But I won't do that with ubuntu, since it can't detect partition table. Follow the zcat[1] advice and use the Windows tool and try to fix it. | 08:52 |
| zcat[1] | Yes, just go back to disk management and delete the partiton you made and it'll show a big gap in the disk usage where it was... | 08:52 |
| PND | rolo, could you be more precise ? What the exact problem ? | 08:52 |
| help_livecduser | okay you guyz here for a while ? zcat[1] and PND ?? | 08:52 |
| zcat[1] | nope, about to go to sleep ;) | 08:53 |

| PND | help_livecduser, i'm here for about an hour. | 08:53 |
| help_livecduser | darn. k | 08:53 |
| richard_ma | PND: I know. bash will read the /etc/bash.bashrc and ~/.bashrc by default, but you can use the --rcfile parameter to change the file which the bash readed. | 08:53 |
| help_livecduser | k would catcya later | 08:53 |

| PND | meowbuntu, check that link : http://embraceubuntu.com/2006/03/21/add-a-grub-splash-image/ | 09:00 |
| relic420 | or should i install the linux ati driver for my video card? | 09:00 |
| PND | GarmaZed, yes we can help you. What's your wireless card , | 09:01 |
| GarmaZed | It's a USB card by Trendnet. TEW-644UB. | 09:01 |
| PND | relic420, if you want the very last drivers, you should take it from ATI | 09:01 |
| relic420 | Automated installer and Display Drivers for XFree86 4.3 and X.Org 6.7, 6.8, 6.9, 7.0, 7.1 | 09:01 |
| PND | relic420, if you want no trouble and no terminal-related things, you should keep the ubuntu's restricted driver. | 09:01 |
| relic420 | will this work on ubunutu gnome? | 09:02 |
| GarmaZed | When I run iwconfig in the terminal it does recognize the USB adapter. | 09:02 |

| relic420 | what kind of trouble's could i have? | 09:02 |

| PND | kiwifunk, you can start a windows console (from the Windows install disk) and hit "fixmbr" or something like that in the console. | 09:04 |
| meowbuntu | ikonia, o you are tough thats great to see. | 09:04 |
| zcat[1] | kiwifunk: boot the windows install disk, press 'r' at the appropriate time to get to the recovery console, and type 'fixmbr' at the prompt. also 'fixboot' might be a good idea too | 09:04 |

| MASARUwota | relic420: what do you mean? like frostwire? :S | 09:10 |
| ardchoille | relic420: audacious can even use xmms skins | 09:11 |
| relic420 | like what is the best limewire of linux? | 09:11 |
| MASARUwota | relic420: frostwire =) | 09:11 |
| DaZ | farciarz84: module named utils. | 09:11 |
| om26er | !best | relic420 | 09:11 |
| ubottu | relic420: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors.

| doonie | does the ufw use the before6.rules or only the before.rules? | 09:11 |
| lostinspace_46 | I need to find out how to make an <sqlite3.6.16.pc> file for sqlite. | 09:11 |
| rj1 | relic420, do NOT use limewire | 09:12 |
| rolo | does anyone know what this means: skype: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libQtNetwork.so.4: undefined symbol: _ZNK15QAbstracpSocket5atEndEv | 09:12 |
| GarmaZed | Why would my wireless card only pick up some wireless networks, but not all of them that are available? | 09:12 |

| rj1 | Could someone tell me how to change the theme for my login screen? | 09:14 |
| om26er | GarmaZed: cuz they might be hidden networks | 09:14 |
| rj1 | It was changed, and I want it back to default | 09:14 |
| DaZ | rj1: did you change it in 9.10? | 09:14 |
| rj1 | no | 09:14 |
| GarmaZed | om26er they aren't hidden on my windows notebook, and I've even tried to connect to my network as if it were one, but it just couldn't find it. | 09:15 |
| DaZ | [; | 09:15 |
| rj1 | it was automatically changed | 09:15 |
| rj1 | in 9.10 | 09:15 |
| DaZ | eh | 09:15 |
| rj1 | its not the default | 09:15 |
| rj1 | I was messing around with desktop environments | 09:15 |
| rj1 | by messing I just mean installing and reinstalling | 09:15 |
| rj1 | nothing else | 09:15 |
| DaZ | rj1: the newest gnome doesn't have the gdm manager iirc | 09:15 |
| * om26er thinks 9.10 using new gdm don't support login screen themeing | 09:15 | |
| rj1 | and now the login screen is using a darker coloring | 09:15 |
| rj1 | its not the default | 09:16 |
| DaZ | it does support | 09:16 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | Hey, I was wondering what source package I need to download to compile the who command. | 09:16 |
| DaZ | but no one coded the manager :F | 09:16 |
| rj1 | I know it does support it just doesnt have an easy way to do it | 09:16 |
| PND | SpaceGhostC2C, who is a base command I think :/ | 09:16 |
| rj1 | so I was wondering what the hard way was | 09:16 |
| PND | SpaceGhostC2C, it's contains in "coreutils" | 09:17 |
| frogzoo | SpaceGhostC2C: apt-get source who | 09:17 |
| frogzoo | s/who/coreutils/ | 09:17 |

| PND | xD | 09:18 |
| rssllcr | I am downloading ubuntu 9.10 I wonder if this version is the RC version or did they make a final version I was just wondering | 09:18 |
| losha | lostinspace_46: can you fake one by copying the files in /usr/share/pkgconfig ? | 09:18 |
| === PND is now known as blue112 | ||
| blue112 | rssllcr, it's the final version. | 09:19 |
| rj1 | ugh I hate gconf | 09:20 |
| rssllcr | thanks | 09:20 |
| frogzoo | can acrobat show 2 pages side by side in fullscreen mode? | 09:21 |
| lostinspace_46 | losha> Hmm I looked in /usr/lib/pkgconfig, and it seems each is a bit different. And I am not sure how to do it. | 09:21 |
| DaZ | frogzoo: why should we know? :f | 09:21 |
| Slart | rssllcr: 9.10 was released year 2009, month 10 ... so it's a final version | 09:21 |
| frogzoo | DaZ: is acrobat not an ubuntu application? | 09:21 |
| meowbuntu | anyone able to help me get grub splash image working from here. http://embraceubuntu.com/2006/03/21/add-a-grub-splash-image/ | 09:21 |
| DaZ | frogzoo: it's adobe application | 09:21 |
| frogzoo | cos I was kind of thinking I could ask ubuntu support questions here | 09:21 |
| meowbuntu | anyone able to help me get grub splash image working from here. http://embraceubuntu.com/2006/03/21/add-a-grub-splash-image/ | 09:21 |
| DaZ | frogzoo: besides, i don't think anyone uses it | 09:21 |
| blue112 | meowbuntu, don't flood please. | 09:21 |
| frogzoo | DaZ: wrong | 09:22 |
| rssllcr | I also wondered if anyone has used a Ipod Touch with ubuntu I was going to use rythmbox player | 09:22 |
| Slart | meowbuntu: which version of ubuntu? | 09:22 |
| meowbuntu | isorry blue i realise not meaning to | 09:22 |
| DaZ | frogzoo: why? [; | 09:22 |
| meowbuntu | Slart, karmic | 09:22 |
| khensthoth | meowbuntu: You might want to look at BURG http://ubuntuguide.net/add-os-logos-into-grub2-boot-menu-using-burg | 09:22 |
| Slart | meowbuntu: then you might want to find another howto.. karmic uses grub2 afaik | 09:23 |
| ajah | i was trying to open port but instead of this i mess up the configuration of iptables (guess so) and now i can ping every host on my network and any site but firefox and telnet don`t work at all, any help ? | 09:23 |
| Zohar_ | i need a command that i can do from terminal, to play an assortment of random mp3's in a directory. i need it for an alarm clock | 09:23 |
| Zohar_ | any suggestions? | 09:23 |
| Slart | meowbuntu: unless you updated from an earlier version, of course | 09:23 |
| meowbuntu | Slart, the sitre i posted has the commands but i cant work out how to add immage file name. there seems to be no inderacation | 09:23 |
| blue112 | ajah, please paste your iptables -L -v -n | 09:24 |

| meowbuntu | true i missed that its from 2006. | 09:24 |
| egertonxx | How can I see the water effect on my desktop? | 09:25 |
| Slart | meowbuntu: that article is from 2006, more than 3 years old.. things have changed a lot in ubuntu since then.. including a brand new version of grub | 09:25 |
| blue112 | egertonxx, install ccsm and enable it. | 09:25 |
| meowbuntu | anyone know how to add grub splash image in grub 2 like this for grub 1 http://embraceubuntu.com/2006/03/21/add-a-grub-splash-image/ | 09:25 |
| ardchoille | egertonxx: I believe that's a Compiz effect | 09:25 |
| egertonxx | I did | 09:25 |
| === kiwifunk is now known as kiwifunk[out] | ||
| meowbuntu | Slart, i understand that i missed how old it ws thats all | 09:25 |
| rj1 | ok it says humanlogin, I want human clearlooks | 09:26 |
| blue112 | egertonxx, the use the shortcut keys to enable the effect. If nothing happens (like on my laptop) your graphical card can't display water. | 09:26 |
| rj1 | do I just say humanclearlookslogin | 09:26 |
| Slart | meowbuntu: yea.. I was typing when I saw your next line =) | 09:26 |
| meowbuntu | kiwifunk[out], you from Aoteroa are you | 09:26 |
| MERLiiN | Hi | 09:26 |
| egertonxx | what is the short cut key for the water effect? | 09:26 |
| MERLiiN | I'll think about it | 09:26 |
| Slart | !ccsm | egertonxx | 09:26 |
| ubottu | egertonxx: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz | 09:26 |
| Slart | egertonxx: that configuration thingy has a list of shortcuts | 09:27 |
| blue112 | egertonxx, the default is <Shift> F9 | 09:27 |
| blue112 | For the rain. | 09:27 |
| meowbuntu | desktop effects cause some applications to fail so advansed users usually tern them off just to be safe. | 09:27 |
| ajah | blue112 it`s the ubuntu on vmware station i can`t figure out how to upload it on i-net | 09:28 |
| anoop | hello room | 09:28 |

| anoop | i am not able to boot the karmic cd in gui | 09:28 |
| calvst | in your /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 09:29 |
| calvst | calvst, I would test these command in grub's shell first. | 09:29 |
| Zohar_ | how do i play an mp3 in the terminal or commandline¿ | 09:29 |

| anoop | wsome problem with graphics | 09:29 |
| ardchoille | rssllcr: I have, and I remember that gtkpod helped a bit | 09:30 |
| blue112 | Zohar_, aplay can play sound... Maybe it can't play mp3, I don't really know. | 09:30 |
| blue112 | ajah, flush. | 09:30 |
| anoop | i'm able to boot into terminal | 09:30 |

| jongbergs | hi, i want to list my attached cdrom drives. what command to list your cd/dvd drives including external? | 09:30 |
| zcat[1] | frogzoo: it's nonfree software and not in any of the repos.. we have to draw the line somewhere | 09:31 |
| tilt | rssllcr: Id rather have a pig that whistles | 09:31 |
| blue112 | rssllcr, I don't know, I just have a shuffle. | 09:31 |
| calvst | meowbuntu, you need three commands in your /boot/grub/grub.cfg terminal_output.gfxterm | 09:31 |
| zcat[1] | Oops, sorry.. replying to something way back in scroolback | 09:31 |
| calvst | meowbuntu, then insmod png | 09:31 |
| calvst | then background_image /path/to/image.png | 09:31 |
| frogzoo | zcat[1]: heh, if someone knew, they would answer :) - the answer actually is edit -> preferences -> full screen -> show one page (deselect) | 09:31 |
| gg | the desktop wont start after improper shutdown any suggestions zz? | 09:31 |
| ardchoille | rssllcr: Have a look at this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ipod%20touch | 09:31 |
| rssllcr | so what software do you use for the shuffle | 09:31 |
| meowbuntu | calvst, that link i posted earlier was for grub not grub 2 | 09:31 |
| anoop | blue112. can u help me | 09:32 |
| jarod511 | Hi | 09:32 |
| meowbuntu | calvst, do you know to add in grub 2 | 09:32 |
| gg | tried "fix broken packages" and reinstalling gdm | 09:32 |
| calvst | meowbuntu, those command are for grub2 | 09:32 |
| gg | just freezes on the login or if autologin is enabled only background image and cursos come up | 09:32 |
| rssllcr | I am going the the page now | 09:32 |
| blue112 | anoop, I'm not sure I can, it's a very specific problem. Did you check the wiki ? | 09:32 |
| calvst | meowbuntu, grub1 do not support png | 09:32 |
| anoop | no | 09:32 |
| blue112 | !wiki | anoop | 09:32 |
| ubottu | anoop: http://wiki.ubuntu.com - Ubuntu development documentation wiki. If you are looking for system help, please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community - the Ubuntu community documentation. | 09:32 |
| anoop | ok | 09:32 |
| meowbuntu | ok calvst can you pm me and start again | 09:33 |
| meowbuntu | calvst, so i dont miss a thing | 09:33 |
| jarod511 | I need some help with firefox 3.5 on Karmic. Each time I start FF, it shows me extensions information pages, toolbar customizations are gone... it's like i start it for the first time. What should i do ? | 09:35 |
| blue112 | jarod511, do you close it nicely ? | 09:36 |

| Krambiorix | hi guys, i have a lenovo T-series laptop with embedded webcam, but i can't make it work in ubuntu | 09:36 |
| Krambiorix | dmesg |grep uvcvideo shows me the webcam (no errors) | 09:37 |
| frogzoo | Krambiorix: did you choose a linux supported webcam? | 09:37 |
| blue112 | Krambiorix, did you checked the doc if there's a workarround ? | 09:37 |
| jarod511 | blue112: yeah, i'm very careful :) | 09:37 |
| AdvoWork | Anyone here had the problem with Pidgin not connecting to MSN, with a message similar to: our protocol is not supported by the server ? | 09:38 |
| Krambiorix | blue112 , frogzoo : yes i tried to launch it with Cheese , but doesn't work neither | 09:38 |
| blue112 | AdvoWork, MSNP (msn protocol) changes really frequently. You should get the very last pidgin version. | 09:38 |
| Dreamglider | i need some help to get dual screen working in Ubuntu 8.04 on a HP nx9420 with an ati x1600 | 09:38 |
| AdvoWork | blue112, yeah ive fixed it now, just asked the same question yesterday and a few people had the same issue, so was going to show them the guide I used to fix | 09:39 |
| jarod511 | DaZ: ok for the ls, i see my config, and after what should i care of ? | 09:39 |
| DaZ | jarod511: pastebin it ;f | 09:39 |

| blue112 | AdvoWork, nice. | 09:39 |
| jongbergs | hi, i want to list my attached cdrom drives. what command to list your cd/dvd drives including external? | 09:39 |
| Krambiorix | i'm sure it worked before but not anymore | 09:39 |
| jarod511 | DaZ: ok | 09:39 |
| blue112 | Kaskelotti, cheese is just a software, I won't make the webcam works if the system can't make. | 09:40 |
| blue112 | Kaskelotti, cheese isn't drivers-included | 09:40 |
| Krambiorix | you mean Krambiorix | 09:40 |
| Krambiorix | blue112 : have any idea what i can do? | 09:40 |
| andi_ | Q: why does youtube player buttons only works for certain videos eventhough all of them uses Adobe Flash Player 10? | 09:40 |
| blue112 | Kaskelotti, sorry :p | 09:40 |
| blue112 | Krambiorix, check the doc :/ | 09:41 |
| Krambiorix | hmm | 09:42 |
| losha | jongbergs: try dmesg | egrep CD-ROM | 09:43 |
| meowbuntu | does ubuntu karmic come with grub or grub 2 by default | 09:43 |
| frogzoo | meowbuntu: grub 2 for new installs, grub for upgrades from jaunty | 09:43 |
| gOLDfeesh | How would one clean / fix / repair bad sectors of a hard drive? fsck? | 09:43 |
| jarod511 | DaZ: here we go http://pastebin.com/m6a08312b | 09:43 |
| losha | meowbuntu: grub2 for a fresh install, grub1 if you upgrade from a grub1 release... | 09:43 |
| dart | alguien sabe algun ccanal de java? | 09:44 |
| gOLDfeesh | I'm trying testdisk and recoverrdm | 09:44 |
| jongbergs | losha: thanks, i'll try it | 09:44 |
| blue112 | gOLDfeesh, fsck is the designed tool... You should let it finish it tasks, anyway. | 09:44 |
| DaZ | jarod511: -rw------- 1 root root 36848 2009-11-18 14:07 prefs.js | 09:44 |
| blue112 | gOLDfeesh, sometime it says "BAD SECTOR" and seems to stop, but it doesn't :p | 09:45 |
| DaZ | jarod511: sudo chown alecat -R ~/.mozilla | 09:45 |
| jarod511 | DaZ: huuuu, checking it right now ! | 09:45 |
| gOLDfeesh | wtf? I sumply asked if there was a tool to scan / repair bad sectors | 09:45 |
| losha | gOLDfeesh: might not be possible. When a modern drive reports bad sectors, that usually means all attempts to reallocate those sectors have already been tried and have failed. Check your SMART data | 09:45 |
| SandGorgon | what is a good newsreader for usenet (must support nzb files) | 09:46 |
| DaZ | jarod511: running browser as root isn't a very good idea <: | 09:46 |
| indus | gOLDfeesh: well, no need for that really, the ext3 file system is smart enough to skip them | 09:46 |
| gOLDfeesh | losha, I was just wondering if there was a utility like chkdsk | 09:46 |
| gOLDfeesh | indus, it's a ntfs external harddrive | 09:46 |
| jarod511 | DaZ: i've never done this... or i think :) | 09:47 |
| meowbuntu | frogzoo, losha i have a fresh install. can you please explain this then. http://pastebin.com/d2306dcaa | 09:47 |
| indus | gOLDfeesh: ok then too, the HDD smart system does it fine | 09:47 |
| indus | gOLDfeesh: there is something called fsck which repairs broken links here and there and does a littel clean up | 09:47 |
| indus | gOLDfeesh: but should only be done on an unmounted partition | 09:47 |
| gOLDfeesh | indus, I asked about that in the original post.. | 09:47 |
| losha | gOLDfeesh: sorry, but to properly check and ntfs disk, you need to run windows chkdsk, There's no reliable equivalent.... | 09:47 |
| FloodBot4 | !netsplit | 09:48 |
| ubottu | netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit | 09:48 |
| indus | gOLDfeesh: aah sorry fsck is for linux only | 09:48 |
| gOLDfeesh | indus, no worriesthanks anyways | 09:48 |
| DJones | SandGorgon: Have a look at Pan for usenet reading, I'm not sure whether it does nxb files, but the docs & help should tell you, its quite similar to forte agent on windows | 09:48 |
| frogzoo | meowbuntu: how odd.. | 09:48 |
| gg | the desktop wont start after improper shutdown any suggestions zz? | 09:48 |
| jarod511 | DaZ: it's ok now ! thank you very much | 09:48 |
| indus | gOLDfeesh: also , the ntfs file system is much better than fat 32 for this i hear | 09:48 |
| DaZ | np | 09:49 |
| losha | meowbuntu: sorry, I'm not familiar with the apt-cache policy command, Do you have grub or not, and if so, which version? | 09:49 |
| kraut | moin | 09:49 |
| gOLDfeesh | indus, it is..supposedly more secure.. | 09:49 |
| meowbuntu | losha, i dont know what comand do i need | 09:50 |
| indus | gOLDfeesh: also doesnt throw files around like fat 32 probably | 09:50 |
| anoop | blue112, nothing related to graphics there | 09:50 |
| portn0k_ | ? | 09:50 |
| meowbuntu | sh: inxi: not found | 09:50 |

| meowbuntu | sh: inxi: not found | 09:50 |
| losha | SandGorgon: pan hangs on very large groups. I wasted hours on it until I found this out. Apparently a known bug. A pox on the programmer... | 09:50 |
| DJones | SandGorgon: Just had a look at Pan's website, it says it supports nxb files http://pan.rebelbase.com/ It is in the ubuntu repositories, thats the only newsreader I've used | 09:50 |
| meowbuntu | i cant to xchat inxi commands what do i need to install | 09:50 |
| blue112 | anoop, there's no post about the boot problem on the wiki ? Would be weird. | 09:50 |
| SandGorgon | losha, in that case, what do you use ? | 09:51 |
| losha | meowbuntu: what do you see when you do: ls /boot/grub/ | 09:51 |
| anoop | blue112, problem related to someother reason is there | 09:51 |
| meowbuntu | losha, just a heap of files | 09:52 |
| losha | SandGorgon: I use slrn for text, for nzb's I've used klibido and/or hellanzb | 09:52 |
| anoop | but this is graphics i think | 09:52 |
| DJones | losha: Is that a recent bug, i'd never had any problems with pan hanging | 09:52 |
| aes256cbc | oke | 09:52 |
| aes256cbc | the official ubuntu support channel | 09:53 |
| anoop | even safe graphics mode cant help | 09:53 |
| losha | DJones: that's the annoying part. Apparently it's years old, and never been fixed. )Lazy programmers). Some of the groups I accessed were enormous (don't ask) | 09:53 |
| superfirelord42 | aes256cbc: yep | 09:53 |
| aes256cbc | can I ask my question about an important ubuntu-recovery-issue here? | 09:53 |

| a2f | meowbuntu, sorry, my problem is this: i installed a basic gnome desktop with just gdm and gnome-core... then i tried to install google chrome beta which is dependent on xdg-utils... however, when i tried to install xdg-utils it wanted to install a whole slew of other software including arora the kde browser... so i went and downloaded xdg-utils source and built/installed then ran dpkg -i --ignore-depends=xdg-utils google-chrome-beta.deb and | 10:04 |
| a2f | got it installed just fine but then when i try to install other software from synaptic or aptitude it still tries to install all of the qt4 and arora which for some reason comes tied to xdg-utils | 10:04 |

It accepts the passphrase, but once it is decrypted the 2 logical volumes seem to be missing. The last thing that happened was that the laptop (Ibm T61, 160 GB harddrive) crashed while comming back from hibernation. | 10:09 |
| Slart | Wantor: is this an ubuntu question? | 10:09 |
| Wantor | Yes it is | 10:09 |
| anoop | indus , when i boot the live cd, it ends with a "out of range" | 10:09 |
| Wantor | Because i can do it with windows | 10:09 |
| Wantor | But not Ubuntu | 10:09 |
| indus | anoop: boot in safe graphics mode | 10:10 |

| enovativ | Slart: shouldn't i be looking for a file called #ubuntu.txt ? | 10:10 |
| Slart | Wantor: so... what you meant to say is "I run ubuntu version X.XX and I try to use it .. via a wireless connection at my school.. but I can't use the schools network printers which is strange because it works when I use windows" ? | 10:10 |

| indus | anoop: how did you select safe graphics mode? | 10:12 |
| Wantor | I run Ubuntu 9.10. I can connect to my schools network printer and install it, but i cannot print, because you have to login to the printer with your school account. I can't login, because it dosent say so anywhere. The printer is a konica minolta C250 | 10:12 |
| aes256cbc | hmm, I guess I will have to post it into the forums too :P | 10:13 |
| anoop | indus, bby pressing f4 | 10:13 |
| indus | ok | 10:13 |
| Slart | Wantor: ah.. getting better.. it might be some kind of special "windows only" printer accounting software .. or it might be a limitation of samba (if that's what you're using to connect to the printer) | 10:14 |

| frogzoo | nmvictor: it's a high risk strategy though.. | 10:52 |
| scottandmonique | chilli pm me | 10:52 |
| nperry | chilli1: Anyway, you really cannot fix those bad sectors with an fsck. What you need to do is make the drive remap those sectors, and that will mean working more low level. You CAN do it the geeky way (possibly) but it's fairly tedious and if your drive is failing it will be only a temporary fix. Here's what I suggest you do: go to the manufacturer's website and download their diagnostic tool. Seagate has one and Maxtor has | 10:52 |
| meowbuntu | Aegil, | 10:52 |

| frogzoo | nmvictor: best to make sure the new kernel boots before deleting the old | 10:53 |
| meowbuntu | i want to do this | 10:53 |
| nperry | chilli1: has one called "gwscan" or something. You can download it as a bootable iso- burn it to a cd, reboot, and run an extended test. It's likely to find errors and if it can it will offer to remap them. Let it do its thing and then reload your system. | 10:54 |
| sergeykish | `apt search proxy` gives a lot of application, what is the simplest one? | 10:54 |
| nperry | (sorry forgot about char cut off) | 10:54 |

| surlo | Hello there. I am a new linux user and I would like to know how could I install .exe files | 10:54 |
| nperry | !wine | surlo | 10:54 |
| ubottu | surlo: 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 | 10:54 |

| surlo | thank you nperry | 10:55 |
| nmvictor | anyone know hoe i would update to the current firefox version from the tarbal i downloaded, when i run ./updater script inside the archive i get Usage: updater <dir-path> [parent-pid [working-dir callback args...]], which is complete greek for the little geek i am | 10:55 |
| chilli0 | To the people who are talking to chilli1 Talk to me | 10:55 |
| Aegil | meowbuntu: what message does it give when you run that command? | 10:55 |
| nmvictor | frogzoo: thanks for that tip,sounds very wise | 10:55 |
| chilli0 | Thats me on other computer , but i cant see the messeges | 10:55 |
| CShadowRun | nmvictor: firefox updates itself automatically, why are you trying to update it manually? | 10:56 |
| nperry | chilli0: Have a look at the manufactors website, see if there is a bootable iso which will remap the bad sectors | 10:56 |
| meowbuntu | but i get this http://pastebin.com/d7925a6e4 | 10:56 |
| meowbuntu | Aegil, i get this http://pastebin.com/d7925a6e4 | 10:57 |
| nmvictor | CShadowRun: strange, the version i have installed is 3.0.5 which was shipped with jaunty, the tarbal version is 3.5.5????? | 10:57 |
| neil_d | I am running bind9. I don't think it is flushing the journals correctly :( is there any way to force a flush? | 10:57 |
| CShadowRun | nmvictor: upgrade to karmic, it has 3.5.5 | 10:58 |
| nperry | CShadowRun: Ubuntu firefox plugin disables automatic updates! | 10:58 |
| meowbuntu | Aegil, anyideas | 10:58 |
| CShadowRun | nperry: yea but apt still updates you providing you keep your OS up to date too :) | 10:59 |
| nmvictor | CShadowRun: That requires bandwith that i dont have at the moment, no idea about the usage returned by ./updater script? | 10:59 |
| nperry | CShadowRun: Ofcourse :) | 10:59 |
| crawler | any Xubuntu users who can help me set up a working VNC server? i can connect, but get only a grey screen and X cursor. | 10:59 |
| CShadowRun | nmvictor: nope, sorry | 10:59 |
| newuser | Hello all - I have just installed Unbuntu Netbook remix through the wubi installer in Windows 7 - and I am loving it - but at start after choosing Ubuntu I get Try hd(0,0): NTFS5: No wubildr for about a min then boots in fine | 10:59 |
| nmvictor | CShadowRun: np, thanks anyway | 10:59 |
| c0p3rn1c | syn-ack, here is the error after purge when I try to reinstall | 10:59 |
| khensthoth | meowbuntu: If you have followed the steps correctly, run update-grub. See if that helps. | 10:59 |
| chilli0 | nperry, What did u say ? The other computer wacked out | 10:59 |
| CShadowRun | nmvictor: just that manually upgrading parts of the core os seems like a recipe for disaster when you actually do upgrade | 10:59 |
| Aegil | meowbuntu: have you edited 05_debian_theme to point to yoru image as in the tutorial? | 11:00 |
| crawler | in Ubuntu it's easy by using the Remote Desktop Preferences configurator...but not so straight forward in Xubuntu. | 11:00 |
| nperry | chilli0: What manufactor is the hard drive? Normally there is a "recovery iso" to fix bad sectors. | 11:00 |
| researcher11 | Im trying to install remastersys using the command sudo apt-get install deb http://www.geekconnection.org/remastersys/repository karmic/ when I egt the error "E: Couldn't find package deb". Any HELP please? | 11:00 |
| chilli0 | nperry, Haiatch or something | 11:01 |
| nperry | reactor: You need to add the deb line to /etc/apt/sources.list | 11:01 |
| researcher11 | cant get this.Please explain | 11:01 |
| meowbuntu | Aegil, yes i think its right | 11:01 |
| newuser | Has anyone had a problem with the wubi installer | 11:02 |
| meowbuntu | Aegil, just gives different output than in tutoral is all | 11:02 |
| crawler | researcher11: sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and add the line: deb http://www.geekconnection.org/remastersys/repository karmic | 11:03 |
| nperry | chilli0: http://www.hitachigst.com/hdd/support/download.htm#DFT Download the CD Image, burn it onto a cd-r and boot the cd. Its a more indepth than fsck and should be able to remap the bad sectors. If this doesn't work then you have a dieing hddd | 11:03 |
| ardchoille | !gksudo | researcher1 , crawler | 11:03 |
| ubottu | researcher1 , crawler: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 11:03 |
| meowbuntu | Aegil, i'm going to reboot and see it grub splashscreen has changed. | 11:03 |
| researcher11 | thanks crawler.Where do I add this line ? At the end ? | 11:04 |
| crawler | ardchoille: thanks for that | 11:04 |
| ardchoille | yw | 11:04 |
| Tina- | my lan on eeepc died :'( i booted winxp and that did not find it either, it is enabled in bios and i only have this eeepc one and half week | 11:04 |
| nperry | crawler: Yes at the end :) | 11:04 |
| nperry | crawler: then sudo apt-get update and then sudo apt-get install packagename | 11:04 |
| whitman | Is Samba included on the LiveCD? | 11:05 |
| indus | whitman: no | 11:05 |
| whitman | Damn | 11:05 |
| chilli0 | nperry, If it is dieing ? | 11:05 |
| chilli0 | Reinstall or the hdd is dead | 11:05 |
| theadmin | Hello everyone. I have quite an interesting problem, I want to install a program, it is supported on Ubuntu 8.04 and higher. They also have a repository, which I want to add... yet it is of "hardy multiverse" type. Will this work on Karmic? | 11:06 |
| Aegil | meowbuntu: its possible it didnt find your image when you run the command. It should be in either of the following locations /usr/share/images/desktop-base/ | 11:06 |
| Aegil | /usr/share/images/grub/ | 11:06 |
| nperry | chilli0: hdd will die, remapping the sectors will only be a temp fix 90% chance of it keep having bad sectors | 11:06 |
| indus | theadmin: mixing repos is not advised | 11:06 |
| khensthoth | theadmin: Depends. What app is it? | 11:06 |
| indus | theadmin: but it might work | 11:06 |
| ardchoille | theadmin: No, mixing release packages can cause you quite a bit of trouble | 11:06 |
| ghostlines | where is grub's menu.lst in ubuntu 9.10? | 11:07 |
| nperry | theadmin: It will work, but work with caution | 11:07 |
| Tina- | how i remove old unused kernels? | 11:07 |
| chilli0 | nperry, k | 11:07 |
| Tina- | ghostlines: it not uses it | 11:07 |
| indus | !grub2 | nperry | 11:07 |
| ubottu | nperry: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 11:07 |
| indus | nperry: there is no menu.lst now | 11:07 |
| frogzoo | theadmin: best download the .deb - do NOT enable the repo | 11:07 |
| Tina- | ghostlines: use update-grub2 | 11:07 |
| chilli0 | nperry, Anyway , i might reinstall but how can i get all of my email data saved? | 11:07 |
| theadmin | frogzoo: Okay... but upgrading manually will be a meh. | 11:07 |
| nperry | indus: there is the /grub/boot/menu.cfg | 11:08 |
| frogzoo | theadmin: how it is | 11:08 |
| nperry | chilli0: Ubuntu one or usb stick | 11:08 |
| ardchoille | frogzoo: even downloading the deb may cause deps problems since it was intended for hardy | 11:08 |
| theadmin | frogzoo: Em, could you rephrase this? | 11:08 |
| indus | nperry: you have to edit /etc/defaul/grub now it seems but i dont know how | 11:08 |
| ghostlines | ohh k thanks | 11:08 |
| Orion777 | is there a way to make the entries on the taskbar smaller? | 11:08 |
| FloodBot4 | !netsplit | 11:09 |
| ubottu | netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit | 11:09 |
| nperry | indus: In theory, you should never write a grub menu file now | 11:09 |
| === natureshadow1 is now known as natureshadow | ||
| Tina- | ghostlines: update-grub is smart enough to make your list | 11:09 |
| nperry | indus: As its all automatic | 11:09 |
| Tina- | how i remove old unused kernels? | 11:09 |
| khensthoth | Tina-: search for old kernels in Synaptic and remove them. Linux-headers-somethingsomething and Linux-image-somethingsomething. Make sure you remove the right kernel number | 11:09 |
| chilli0 | nperry, Ubuntu one | 11:10 |
| indus | Tina-: from synaptic search for the older ones | 11:10 |
| theadmin | Tina-: "sudo apt-get remove --purge kernelpackage". To see all them, "dpkg -l | grep "linux-image"" | 11:10 |
| Tina- | ic , thought there was a automated thing for it | 11:10 |

| StaticPhilly | does anyone know why after a fresh install of pureftp, i get "421 Unable to switch capabilities" when trying to start its daemon? | 11:11 |
| chilli0 | How can i save all evolution data ? Including the passwords and all emails | 11:11 |
| trackerartist | hello..my network icon on the tray disappeared..second time happenin | 11:11 |
| newuser | morning | 11:12 |
| khensthoth | chilli0: http://embraceubuntu.com/2005/12/03/how-to-backup-evolution/ | 11:12 |
| trackerartist | soo..anyoen? | 11:12 |
| theadmin | !help | trackerartist | 11:12 |
| ubottu | trackerartist: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 11:12 |
| sunrider | i have a problem with network manager updating my /etc/resolv.conf every time | 11:12 |
| trackerartist | !!! important !!! tray icon change | 11:12 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 11:12 |
| trackerartist | okay | 11:12 |
| sunrider | even though i disabled networkmanager using update.rc-d | 11:12 |
| ardchoille | !patience | trackerartist | 11:13 |
| ubottu | trackerartist: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. | 11:13 |
| sunrider | or what its called, it still messess with my resolv.conf | 11:13 |
| theadmin | sunrider: uh, it is "NetworkManager", not "networkmanager", if that helps any. | 11:13 |
| sunrider | :o | 11:13 |
| nperry | StaticPhilly: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=272527 - Seems like your kernel is missing out on something. try running modprobe capability | 11:14 |
| Graloth|Work | how do i make a program run as root? | 11:14 |
| chilli0 | Thanks KennethP | 11:14 |
| newuser | Hello all - I have just installed Unbuntu Netbook remix through the wubi installer in Windows 7 - and I am loving it - but at start after choosing Ubuntu I get Try hd(0,0): NTFS5: No wubildr for about a min then boots in fine | 11:14 |
| sunrider | NetworkManager.dpkg-backup | 11:14 |
| chilli0 | Thanks khensthoth | 11:14 |
| ardchoille | !sudo | Graloth|Work | 11:14 |
| ubottu | Graloth|Work: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) | 11:14 |
| sunrider | there is even more | 11:14 |
| StaticPhilly | sunrider: do you have the network-manager-applet install? (i think its a gnome app tho) this will let you setup the dns etc so it makes no dif to resolv.conf | 11:15 |
| StaticPhilly | nperry: thanks | 11:15 |
| Graloth|Work | ardchoille, how do i then launch the program as root from the terminal? | 11:15 |
| sunrider | staticphilly, i would much rather simply bypass that | 11:15 |
| ardchoille | Graloth|Work: if it's a command line app: sudo program_name_here | 11:16 |
| sunrider | staticphilly, what happens if i apt-get rmeove that thing | 11:16 |
| ardchoille | Graloth|Work: use gksudo if it's a gui app | 11:16 |
| Graloth|Work | its not, its an ftp program | 11:16 |
| Tina- | for an eeepc i need i386 kernel or the generic?? | 11:16 |
| theadmin | Graloth|Work: Um, "sudo programname". If it's a graphical app, then "gksu progamname" | 11:16 |
| ardchoille | Graloth|Work: do NOT run ftp apps as root, that is dangerous | 11:16 |
| Tina- | dunno any more what wa&s the d"efault on UNR | 11:16 |
| sunrider | The following packages will be REMOVED: network-manager network-manager-gnome | 11:16 |
| sunrider | The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required: libdns50 python-urwid | 11:16 |
| sunrider | maybe i need those two | 11:16 |
| sunrider | libdns50 sounds crucial | 11:16 |
| Graloth|Work | ardchoille, i need to move files from my ftp server to a folder on my machine that i need root access to access | 11:16 |
| theadmin | sunride: Unlikely. If it says that nothing needs them, then it's true. It means no program uses them. | 11:17 |
| ardchoille | Graloth|Work: then ftp them as user and then copy them to the destination as root. running ftp app as root is a serious security hole | 11:17 |
| c0p3rn1c | I have troubles removing and reinstalling mysql-server | 11:17 |
| c0p3rn1c | can anyone help me ? | 11:17 |
| StaticPhilly | sunrider: just means you will not have the pretty icon and gui to set it up ;) you will have to find networkmanagers configuration files and setup its dns, thats the only way i can think of to stop it writing to /etc/resolv.conf unless you change the files permissions to read only, that might work but also might cause networkmanager to chuck errors | 11:17 |
| Graloth|Work | ardchoille, no idea how to move files as root, since im not running a program, just trying to access a folder | 11:18 |
| epinky | !nbr> Tina- | 11:18 |

| romildo | Hi. | 11:18 |
| theadmin | Graloth|Work: "sudo mv filename /path/to/directory" | 11:18 |
| romildo | Which command line should I use in order to build a backup of my root partition into a tar archive, so that it can be restored after some disk mantainance I will be doing? | 11:18 |
| ardchoille | !bash | Graloth|Work then you need to learn how to manipulate files via the command line; | 11:18 |
| ubottu | Graloth|Work then you need to learn how to manipulate files via the command line;: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 11:18 |
| Graloth|Work | its an entire dir | 11:18 |
| Graloth|Work | bah, ill just reinstall windows, much easier to do this there | 11:18 |
| crawler | any Xubuntu users who can help me set up a working VNC server? i can connect, but get only a grey screen and X cursor. | 11:19 |
| ardchoille | yeah, a lot of things are easier on Windows.. viruses, trojans, worms, malware... | 11:19 |
| theadmin | crawler: Maybe ask on #xubuntu ? | 11:19 |
| Sacho | That's just silly, file manipulation is times easier in linux than in windows | 11:20 |
| newuser | am I in the right channel to ask about wubi installer on netbook remix | 11:20 |
| crawler | theadmin: i'm there for a while, it's completely dead :-) | 11:20 |
| theadmin | ardchoille: Well, don't mind n00bs, they all act like this. | 11:20 |
| StaticPhilly | crawler: i could be wrong (its been a while since i played with vnc) but i think you have to tell vnc to start xubuntu when the user connects, it starts startx by default | 11:20 |
| theadmin | newuser: Well, we might not know anything. But ask. | 11:20 |
| newuser | Hello all - I have just installed Unbuntu Netbook remix through the wubi installer in Windows 7 - and I am loving it - but at start after choosing Ubuntu I get Try hd(0,0): NTFS5: No wubildr for about a min then boots in fine | 11:20 |
| DASPRiD | uh, someone knows if there is a ppa for thunderbird 3? :) | 11:21 |
| researcher11 | can an AptonCD created from 64 bit system be restored & its applications run successfully on 32 bit ? And is 32 bit to 64 bit also possible ? | 11:21 |
| theadmin | newuser: WUBI gives some strange errors while booting, if boots fine than don't mind it. It likes doing so, I think. | 11:21 |
| crawler | StaticPhilly: ok, i was playing around with the startup script for a bit, maybe i used the wrong command.. | 11:21 |
| ardchoille | DASPRiD: hold on, I just blogged about tb3 | 11:21 |
| DASPRiD | ardchoille, hehe | 11:21 |
| theadmin | researcher11: If packages are not architecture-dependent (most unlikely), then possible. | 11:22 |
| newuser | theadmin ok so just ignore it ? | 11:22 |
| nperry | newuser: According to this Try hd(0,0): NTFS5: No wubildr, the reason why that error message is there before it looks for the wubidir in the hard drive vendors partion (which holds some drivers i think) | 11:22 |
| ardchoille | DASPRiD: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Nzc4Mw | 11:22 |
| researcher11 | How do I know if packages are architecture-dependent? | 11:22 |

| R1_ | I have a quick question for anyone who knows. Is it possible to install more than one driver for a device, and deciding whether to use either one through terminal ( using commands like rmmod and modprobe ) | 11:34 |
| epinky | scottandmonique: "sudo apt-get install mysql-server mysql-common mysql-client" , follow the after-install steps | 11:34 |
| meowbuntu | even feudora uses inxi | 11:34 |
| coz_ | c0p3rn1c, no just autoremove | 11:34 |
| ardchoille | meowbuntu: what does inxi do? There may be another tool for the purpose in ubuntu | 11:35 |
| meowbuntu | ubuntu 9.04 had it | 11:35 |
| * ardchoille is thinking that feudora is an even better name | 11:35 | |
| ardchoille | meowbuntu: no it doesn't, | 11:35 |
| meowbuntu | well ubuntu does have it | 11:35 |
| ardchoille | meowbuntu: I'm on 9.04 and it isn't in the repos | 11:35 |
| meowbuntu | inxi displayes os | 11:36 |
| coz_ | http://www.webupd8.org/2009/11/shell-system-information-tool-for-linux.html | 11:36 |
| ardchoille | meowbuntu: can you describe it a bit better? | 11:36 |
| meowbuntu | inxi -S displayes system specific info | 11:36 |
| ardchoille | ah, ok | 11:36 |
| coz_ | meowbuntu, you can also try dmidecode I think it shows similar info | 11:36 |
| meowbuntu | inxi -A displayes audio info | 11:36 |
| ardchoille | meowbuntu: something like conky or gkRELLm? | 11:36 |
| * c0p3rn1c bbl lunch | 11:37 | |
| nic3 | is there any chan nel for xinerama? | 11:37 |
| meowbuntu | ardchoille, conky no not that. conky is a application displaying info on desktop. crunchbang os uses it bu default | 11:38 |
| meowbuntu | inci is a terminal command | 11:38 |
| DJones | meowbuntu: You could look at hwinfo in ubuntu, that might be a similar tool | 11:38 |
| coz_ | meowbuntu, as i said dmidecode does similar things and I believe it is default | 11:38 |
| DJones | !info hwinfo | 11:38 |
| ubottu | hwinfo (source: hwinfo): Hardware identification system. In component universe, is optional. Version 16.0-1 (karmic), package size 45 kB, installed size 112 kB | 11:38 |
| ardchoille | meowbuntu: I see this one in the repos for 9.04: osdsh - Overlays your screen with various system information | 11:39 |
| coz_ | meowbuntu, and you dont need a script to run dmidecode | 11:39 |
| ardchoille | meowbuntu: There's also sysinfo | 11:39 |
| Sacho | inxi seems to be just a script? | 11:40 |
| ardchoille | meowbuntu: apt-cache search system | grep information | 11:40 |
| meowbuntu | ardchoille, . no not that | 11:40 |
| nic3 | is there any chan nel for xinerama? | 11:40 |
| nic3 | what is channel name for x? | 11:40 |
| iceroot | nic3: #xorg i guess | 11:40 |
| Sacho | meowbuntu: why not just do what their site says? download it and use it | 11:41 |
| Sacho | quote: cd /usr/local/bin && wget -Nc smxi.org/inxi && chmod +x inxi && inxi | 11:41 |
| ardchoille | Sacho: that won't work | 11:42 |
| Sacho | ardchoille: why not? | 11:42 |
| coz_ | meowbuntu, although looking at some inxi info it seems a bit more concise info but I will have to play with this | 11:42 |
| Sacho | oh you mean privileges? :P | 11:43 |
| ardchoille | Sacho: because you don't have permission to write to /usr/local/bin. And, you should never use wget as root (sudo) | 11:43 |
| Sacho | ardchoille: I was only copying from their site | 11:43 |
| meowbuntu | coz_, inxi is v=basic simple and should be avaialable in ubuntu | 11:43 |
| Sacho | obviously can be adjusted ^^ | 11:43 |
| ardchoille | Sacho: then their site is giving bad advice | 11:43 |
| coz_ | meowbuntu, maybe so but apparenlty dmidecode has replace it at least in the repository | 11:44 |
| Sacho | meowbuntu: it seems to work fine for me :) it even has a deb package... | 11:44 |
| coz_ | meowbuntu, http://code.google.com/p/inxi/w/list | 11:44 |
| Tina- | i dont need linux-source do i? if i dont intend to build my own kernel | 11:45 |
| strywgr | anyone knows about a good file sharing webserver program? | 11:45 |
| meowbuntu | guys search for inxi on this page http://www.linuxmint.com/rel_gloria_whatsnew.php that will tell you what inxi is. then you can tell me the ubuntu app that does same. | 11:45 |
| Tina- | strywgr: what must it do? | 11:46 |
| turbanoff | win+m in ubuntu 9.10. | 11:46 |
| Tina- | strywgr: ssh (sftp) is best | 11:46 |
| turbanoff | go to negative screen | 11:46 |
| strywgr | aright | 11:46 |
| === C is now known as Guest58416 | ||
| Tina- | strywgr: i share my music across boxes with upnp via rhythmboc and xbmc | 11:47 |
| ardchoille | meowbuntu: conky can do that, it can display anything you tell it to | 11:47 |
| Sacho | meowbuntu: inxi seems to do the same. you can download and chmod it on your pc. it takes less than 10 seconds | 11:47 |
| meowbuntu | inxi intergrates with irc clients to display quick info to | 11:47 |
| meowbuntu | ari dont need or want conky | 11:47 |
| meowbuntu | ^ ardchoille | 11:47 |
| strywgr | i need to share a lot of things and need people to upload things at my system at the same time. | 11:47 |
| nomic1 | can anyone tell me what I can use on ubuntu to create a windows compatible zip file? | 11:48 |
| doctor | Hi | 11:48 |
| coz_ | meowbuntu, true that inxi is workable on irc as far as I can tell | 11:48 |
| Tina- | quassel ftw :p | 11:48 |
| strywgr | i was finding something like 'easy file sharing webserver' which is only for windows | 11:48 |
| meowbuntu | Sacho, ok i can get it from that page ok | 11:48 |

| coz_ | meowbuntu, dmidecode is for your info alone | 11:48 |
| doctor | I am using the dump command in terminal how dose one use the restore thanks | 11:48 |
| epinky | nomic1: gzip or gunzip? | 11:48 |
| meowbuntu | coz_, yes linux mint uses it it saves time with pastebin | 11:48 |
| nic3 | i connected two monitors using xrandr, i am able to see only one at a time, any idea what i am doing wrong? | 11:48 |
| nomic1 | ok ty. epinky | 11:49 |

| ece | sorry | 11:49 |
| === ece is now known as hellyeah | ||
| coz_ | meowbuntu, yeah I understand and I think that would be the main difference between inxi and dmidecode although pastbinit is avialable also for pastebining something | 11:49 |
| ardchoille | pastebinit is awesome | 11:50 |
| meowbuntu | sorry guys i am lost wheree can i get download for inxi in ubuntu | 11:50 |
| trackerartist | thanks epinky IT works! | 11:50 |
| doctor | sudo dump -0uf /dev/sdb1 / | 11:50 |
| coz_ | meowbuntu, although Linux mint is defining it as a "new" app instead of an older one:) | 11:50 |
| epinky | !yay | trackerartist | 11:50 |
| doctor | trying to use the restore command | 11:50 |
| ubottu | trackerartist: Glad you made it! :-) | 11:50 |
| meowbuntu | coz_, new app for mint | 11:51 |
| trackerartist | epinky, thanks..its fun talkin a bot | 11:51 |
| coz_ | meowbuntu, ok that makes sense :) | 11:51 |
| doctor | the book saids to use the cd / in terminal to find the external hard drive where the backup is stored but icn not find it | 11:51 |
| epinky | trackerartist: you're welcome :) | 11:51 |
| meowbuntu | i cant swwm to find inxi for ubuntu though | 11:51 |
| coz_ | meowbuntu, I use dmidecode often... the output is rendered differently in terminal from inxi but I believe you get the same information | 11:51 |
| Sacho | it's a bash script. :( Why does it need an ubuntu package? | 11:52 |
| meowbuntu | inxi is the best app | 11:52 |
| doctor | cd /xxx | 11:53 |
| ardchoille | Sacho: you have a url for inxi? | 11:53 |
| coz_ | meowbuntu, inxi is also implimented by default on kde with quassel irc | 11:53 |
| Sacho | ardchoille: it's on their site, smxi.org, with instructions and such to install | 11:53 |

| meowbuntu | i miss inxi application i want it for ubuntu | 11:59 |
| julio | good morning ppl | 11:59 |
| ardchoille | meowbuntu: There are instructions on their site for installing inxi. follow the directions and install it | 12:00 |
| julio | how can i configure my wifi button to work corrrectly? | 12:00 |
| pyro__ | i'm trying to install a second nic card on my server. is there a command that will let modprobe scan my system for devices and just give the driver to install or do I have to do look up the module name in google? | 12:00 |
| eggy_ | epinky: yes, thank you. However, when I run it on my removable hard drive (FAT formatted), it doesn't print anything (blkid /dev/sdc1) | 12:00 |
| julio | i'm on a HP 550 notebook and noticed that it doesn't work | 12:00 |
| pyro__ | hp....well there's your problem? | 12:01 |
| epinky | eggy_: just type "sudo blkid" | 12:01 |
| frogzoo1 | pyro__: typically the kernel will pick it up itself & you only need update /etc/network/interfaces | 12:01 |
| eggy_ | epinky: ah, of course. I would have expected it to print an error message of some kind, heh | 12:01 |
| meowbuntu | ardchoille, what website that | 12:02 |
| eggy_ | epinky: thanks man. So when the device now moves from sdc1 to sdb1 on a reboot, the UID will keep referring to that partition in my fstab? | 12:02 |
| sunrider | is xubuntu more fun | 12:02 |

| Ranakah | hi.. anybody know how to open .zup file in ubuntu? | 12:03 |
| pyro__ | frogzoo1: so, it should be as easy as adding eth1 do interfaces? | 12:03 |
| epinky | eggy_: if it's a removable drive, we can't assure that, but in most cases yes | 12:03 |
| ardchoille | Ranakah: unzip file.zip | 12:03 |
| frogzoo1 | pyro__: could well be | 12:03 |
| eggy_ | epinky: ok, thanks for the help :) | 12:03 |
| Ranakah | ardchoille it's not a zip file.. it's zup file | 12:03 |
| epinky | eggy_: you're welcome :) | 12:03 |
| ardchoille | Ranakah: never heard of a .zup file | 12:03 |
| ardchoille | Ranakah: sounds like a typo in the filename | 12:04 |
| Ranakah | ardchoille i know :D me too | 12:04 |
| ardchoille | Ranakah: file filename.zup | 12:04 |
| ardchoille | I'll bet it's a zip file | 12:04 |
| Ranakah | file ec_patch_80-103.zup | 12:04 |
| Ranakah | ec_patch_80-103.zup: data | 12:04 |
| ardchoille | I stand corrected | 12:04 |
| Ranakah | it's a patch for jade dynasty.. and i can't play game without patch | 12:05 |
| ardchoille | ah | 12:05 |
| pyro__ | frogzoo1: I added eth1 to the interface file but it's still not showing up in ifconfig | 12:05 |
| pyro__ | what do I need to restart? | 12:05 |
| frogzoo1 | pyro__: /etc/init.d/networking restart | 12:06 |
| geirha | Ranakah: Is there no accompanying readme.txt or similar? | 12:07 |
| Ranakah | no :( | 12:07 |
| coz_ | hey guys.. this isnew getting : python2.6-minimal: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2 after trying to install gawk | 12:08 |
| Krambiorix | guys, i get this when i try to open gedit from command line : Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: | 12:08 |
| Ranakah | Krambiorix just ignore it | 12:09 |
| miansc | why isnt any of my swap being used | 12:09 |
| miansc | its all my ram | 12:09 |
| Listerthrawn | miansc: You want your swap to be used? | 12:09 |
| Krambiorix | Ranakah : i need to open gedit from there | 12:10 |
| Krambiorix | so it doesn't work | 12:10 |
| Ranakah | hm.. | 12:10 |
| miansc | isnt that what its used for? | 12:10 |
| pyro__ | got it, thanks a lot | 12:11 |
| pyro__ | I thought I was going to have to modprobe something :x | 12:11 |
| pyro__ | modprobe -vF frogzoo1 | 12:11 |
| Listerthrawn | miansc: You should only be using swap if you're ran out of physical memory | 12:11 |
| Listerthrawn | miansc: Linux doesn't swap as a matter of course like Windows does. | 12:12 |
| costas | im running ubuntu 9.10 + photoshop cs4 portable with wine.... does anyone knows why i cant save in interface of photoshop the UI text size ? | 12:12 |
| Balsaq | can i erase all my internet web viewing history, cache and every thing else associated with that in ubuntu? | 12:12 |
| Balsaq | or is it actually stored somewhere.... | 12:13 |
| Listerthrawn | miansc: open up loads of firefox windows until you're out of memory and then watch the swap usage increase | 12:13 |
| miansc | ahh ok | 12:13 |
| miansc | it will never get to swap stage :P | 12:13 |
| Listerthrawn | if you're lucky it wont | 12:13 |
| alankila | in fact, Linux will swap a bit even though you wouldn't normally be running out of RAM. | 12:13 |
| Balsaq | :() | 12:13 |
| miansc | alankilla thats a good thing yeah? | 12:14 |
| indus | can i install a game with a patch or i need the cds for it | 12:14 |
| indus | i have the data files | 12:14 |
| alankila | But it's just a bit... memory pressure is generally solved by freeing pages, and there's a likelihood of some sort that the problem is solved by pushing anonymous memory to wswap | 12:14 |
| costas | im running ubuntu 9.10 + photoshop cs4 portable with wine.... does anyone knows why i cant save in interface of photoshop the UI text size ? | 12:14 |
| Krambiorix | nobody had this problem before???? | 12:14 |
| DASPRiD | Krambiorix, no!!!! | 12:14 |
| ubuntukurdi | hola | 12:15 |
| Listerthrawn | Swap: 11888060k total, 0k used, 11888060k free, 2899900k cached | 12:15 |
| alankila | so if you for instance copy a large amount of files, you'll generally find a bit of memory landing into swap. That is because file copies cause memory pressure, and Linux tries to optimize this by freeing as much memory as possible for the copy. | 12:15 |
| Balsaq | hola ketal | 12:15 |
| Krambiorix | damn | 12:15 |
| ubuntukurdi | anyone here, who can help me to find out my problem ? :) | 12:15 |
| Krambiorix | what a community | 12:15 |
| ubuntukurdi | i could try to tell about my ubuntu-probs in 4 different language :( | 12:15 |
| miansc | ok cool | 12:16 |
| DASPRiD | what a questionier | 12:16 |
| bibekp | Krambiorix, what is your problem? | 12:16 |
| sponzor | will this work? http://pastebin.com/m8365263 | 12:16 |

| Krambiorix | bibekp: Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: | 12:16 |
| ubuntukurdi | hehe balsaq but i have no idea what the problem is | 12:16 |
| Balsaq | ubuntukurdi please state your problem | 12:16 |
| bibekp | Krambiorix, what triggered this? | 12:16 |
| ubuntukurdi | my xserver seems like to act autonom | 12:16 |
| bibekp | Krambiorix, give more details | 12:17 |
| geirha | Krambiorix: Are you trying to run it from a virtual terminal (ctrl+alt+f1-6)? | 12:17 |
| Krambiorix | bibekp : try to run gedit in terminal | 12:17 |
| ubuntukurdi | when i'm using firefox f.e. after 10-20 minutes i get a blackscreen | 12:17 |
| miansc | i opened 120 firefoxes lol | 12:17 |
| snoopy | test | 12:17 |
| ubuntukurdi | than my xserver restarts again and i find myself at the gdm login | 12:17 |
| Krambiorix | no just local , i opened a terminal window | 12:17 |
| Krambiorix | geirha : no | 12:17 |
| Listerthrawn | sponzor: Should do. I personally wouldn't run a Database on RAID 5 though | 12:17 |
| ubuntukurdi | i tried to reconfigute xserver... but nothing happend | 12:17 |
| geirha | Krambiorix: does: ''echo "$DISPLAY"'' output anything? | 12:18 |
| bibekp | Krambiorix, as a normal user or via sudo ? | 12:18 |
| mcphail | Krambiorix: have you switched user or used sudo? | 12:18 |
| ubuntukurdi | i have the same problems also, when i'm using java programs (like jdownloader f.e.) | 12:18 |
| Krambiorix | geirha , bibekp : i set DISPLAY now to :0.0 but before it wasn't set | 12:18 |
| Krambiorix | mcphail : su - | 12:18 |
| mot1 | Afternoon folks, I was wondering if anyone knew of an open source VPN client that will support a random number generator access token (like the RSA token) for Ubuntu? I've looked into OpenVPN but this doesn't seem to be a feature. Thanks in Advance | 12:18 |
| Younder | 0.0 is just default screen | 12:19 |
| bibekp | Krambiorix, so it is solved or what? | 12:19 |
| Balsaq | ubuntukurdi i hate that when that happens... | 12:19 |
| geirha | !root | Krambiorix | 12:19 |
| ubottu | Krambiorix: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 12:19 |
| mcphail | Krambiorix: as root, you'd need to set DISPLAY as above. Use gksudo instead | 12:19 |
| Younder | The one hooked up to your computer | 12:19 |
| sponzor | Listerthrawn: where should i run it? | 12:19 |
| geirha | Krambiorix: We don't support that | 12:19 |
| ubuntukurdi | yeah balsaq me too.. but do you have any idea, what the problem is? | 12:19 |
| Krambiorix | ow | 12:19 |
| Balsaq | ubuntukurdi when i find myself in that situation i re-install my OS | 12:20 |
| geirha | Krambiorix: If you need a root-shell, use sudo -i | 12:20 |
| ubuntukurdi | i mean i tried to reconfigutre the xserver... shut down the gdm and typed "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-org" but nothing happend | 12:20 |
| Younder | ubotto is right, root password litteraly isn't set. | 12:20 |
| ubuntukurdi | balsaq dude, i reinstalled my OS | 12:20 |
| ubuntukurdi | and have this problems | 12:20 |
| epinky | mot1: google for openswan, however I think OpenVPN can do the work | 12:20 |
| mcphail | Krambiorix: for anything graphical use gksudo rather than sudo | 12:20 |
| Younder | instead it has a administration group, like windows | 12:21 |
| Krambiorix | geirha : mcphail, bibekp : gksudo gives me : (gksudo:17548): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: | 12:21 |
| ubuntukurdi | i have first 9.04... everything was fine... than i updated to 9.10 everything was terrible... so i thought i should install it new... now i installed it new and its still terrible -_- | 12:21 |
| mcphail | Krambiorix: yes, but are you using gksudo as a normal user or as root? | 12:21 |
| ubuntukurdi | anyone who can give me a hint` | 12:21 |
| paissad-hp | hi all | 12:21 |
| ubuntukurdi | its really sucks -_- | 12:22 |
| bibekp | Krambiorix, your details are very confusing. you couldnt su and run gedit. so you set display to 0:0 and the you could run. now again you get the error with gksudo ? | 12:22 |
| bibekp | Krambiorix, am i right? | 12:22 |
| paissad-hp | what's the equivalent of apt-get build-dep packagename for aptitude ? | 12:22 |
| Balsaq | ubuntukurdi...yes many have complained when they went to 910-try re-instaling 904 as i said | 12:22 |
| epinky | Krambiorix: "sudo xhost +" then retry | 12:22 |
| paissad-hp | and for apt-get -b source packagename ? | 12:22 |
| Krambiorix | mcphail : as a normal user | 12:22 |
| mot1 | epinky, Thanks man, I'll check it out. | 12:22 |
| Younder | ubuntukurdi, well what 'sucks' | 12:22 |
| ubuntukurdi | balsaq, mate, i reinstalled it... i mean first distro-update | 12:22 |
| ubuntukurdi | from 9.04 to 9.10 | 12:22 |
| ubuntukurdi | i had many problems | 12:23 |
| ubuntukurdi | so i decided to install 9.10 completly new | 12:23 |
| Krambiorix | bibekp : i su and tried to run gedit . I got an error and i set my display to 0:0 BUT it still doesn't work | 12:23 |
| ubuntukurdi | i did it, but now i have the xserver probs | 12:23 |
| Younder | you already said that | 12:23 |
| bibekp | Krambiorix, how did you set display to 0:0 ? | 12:23 |
| i_is_broke | ubuntukurdi, reinstall 9.04 | 12:23 |
| Krambiorix | epinky : xhost: unable to open display "" | 12:23 |
| ubuntukurdi | i am not sure, if the problems will be solved, when i reinstall 9.10 again | 12:23 |
| ubuntukurdi | oh that you mean | 12:23 |
| Balsaq | ubuntukurdi i prefer 904, i have had no issues with that one, others on here have complained of the 910 | 12:23 |
| c0p3rn1c | did I fail ubuntu or did ubuntu fail me :( | 12:23 |
| ubuntukurdi | i should reinstall 904 | 12:23 |
| Krambiorix | bibekp : DISPLAY=0:0 | 12:23 |
| ubuntukurdi | okay thx guys | 12:23 |
| bibekp | Krambiorix, by entering that into the terminal ? | 12:24 |
| Krambiorix | bibekp: as root | 12:24 |
| ubuntukurdi | than i should better wait til 10.04 and use til then 904 | 12:24 |
| Krambiorix | bibekp : yes | 12:24 |
| c0p3rn1c | pff can't install mysql-server anymore, keep getting error's, tried everything | 12:24 |
| ubuntukurdi | its probably the best idea | 12:24 |
| bibekp | Krambiorix, why did you do that | 12:24 |
| epinky | Krambiorix: are you on a ssh session? | 12:24 |
| i_is_broke | ubuntukurdi, 10.4 should be more stable as its going to be a lts | 12:24 |
| Younder | c0p3rn1c, you should be using a postgresql server anyhow | 12:24 |
| miansc | ubuntu is for the win <3 | 12:24 |

| Krambiorix | bibekp : cause i'm trying to solve my problem | 12:24 |
| Balsaq | ubuntukurdi when you have an awesome 904 keep it, watch and listen to what people on here say...before you move up to the next edition | 12:25 |
| bibekp | Krambiorix, i think the correct thing to do is to export the variable "DISPLAY=LOCALHOST:0.0" | 12:25 |
| Krambiorix | epinky : no , local in a terminal window | 12:25 |
| bibekp | Krambiorix, please dont give stupid answers | 12:25 |
| c0p3rn1c | Younder, if it as up to me yes! | 12:25 |
| ubuntukurdi | balsaq, ok mate :) | 12:25 |
| bibekp | Krambiorix, i wanted to know where did you get that from, entering display = 0:0 in the terminal | 12:25 |
| ubuntukurdi | thx for the tip | 12:25 |
| Krambiorix | bibekp : i read it on a website | 12:25 |
| Younder | c0p3rn1c, yes, it's your ass | 12:25 |
| mcphail | Krambiorix: if you shut the terminal and reopen then type "gedit" what happens? | 12:25 |
| ubuntukurdi | now i'm gonna to reinstall 904 again :) | 12:25 |
| ubuntukurdi | cu all later mates | 12:25 |
| Listerthrawn | sponzor: RAID 1+0 would be better for DB, but it depends how much space you require | 12:26 |
| Krambiorix | damn it works!!! | 12:26 |
| Balsaq | ReggyLove...i had an issue like that, i had to install an nvidia driver to fix it | 12:26 |
| Krambiorix | mcphail : yes now it works | 12:26 |
| Krambiorix | bibekp : i think the export did it | 12:27 |
| mcphail | Krambiorix: best to keep things simple! | 12:27 |
| bibekp | Krambiorix, yes, it should | 12:27 |
| Krambiorix | so will this DISPLAY variable stay set like this? | 12:27 |
| mcphail | Krambiorix: the "export" should have been forgotten when the terminal closed | 12:27 |

| zizo | Hi all, i need to fix my wireless speed at 5.5Mb/s. How can i do this? | 12:31 |
| tvw | from windows I want to psftp to my ubuntu 9.10 machine. ssh and scp works, but with sftp it says: unable to initialise SFTP: could not connect. before upgrading to 9.10 it worked. | 12:31 |
| mcphail | Krambiorix: you shouldn't need to do anything else. If you genuinely need to use "export DISPLAY=whatever" each time then you can add it to ~/.bashrc but you really shouldn't need to | 12:32 |
| Krambiorix | okay thanks guys!! | 12:32 |
| ReggyLove | Balsaq: you also have a Radeon Mobility X1600 gpu ? | 12:32 |
| bdfoster | heyoh | 12:32 |
| Listerthrawn | I use a laptop via WiFi and store all my files on a file server. What's the best method for accessing this data? I've tried SMB and sshfs but neither seem to quite do what I want. Is NFS still an option these days or is it old hat now? | 12:34 |
| zizo | Hi all, i need to fix wireless's speed at 5.5Mb/s. How can i do this? | 12:35 |
| Balsaq | ReggyLove as i stated mine ws nvidia, however i think you may have a driver issue...you may need a different driver for you ati | 12:35 |
| Listerthrawn | zizo: Not sure you can if you're using NetworkManager, but you can with iwconfig if you manually configure your NIC. | 12:35 |
| mcphail | Listerthrawn: what do you want to do which is impossible with the other methods? | 12:36 |
| epinky | zizo: 5.5 MB? maybe you can use 11b standard to get 11Mbps, an alternative is to use some Queue Discipline | 12:36 |
| bdfoster | BooEM welcome from croatia! | 12:36 |
| === mom_ is now known as Coded1 | ||
| Balsaq | ReggyLove i have seen articles about ati radeon in ubuntu forum, you may contact ati and ask them which driver is best | 12:36 |
| bibekp | Krambiorix, one piece of suggestion | 12:36 |
| ReggyLove | Balsaq: i have installed the proprietary ATI drivers ubuntu sugested | 12:36 |
| zizo | epinky: doesn't matter 5.5 or 11 or what you want, is there a way without making a script? | 12:37 |
| Listerthrawn | mcphail: Not impossible, but just awkward. Like with ssh not every app supports the path format (I use the Places Menu to map it) So I end up copying the data to my desktop and running it from there and copying it back. | 12:37 |
| === natureshadow1 is now known as natureshadow | ||
| Krambiorix | sure bibekp | 12:37 |
| Balsaq | ReggyLove when i installed the nvidia driver, i had to remove it and then ubuntu took over and recomfigured for the best driver from the ubuntu database | 12:37 |
| bibekp | Krambiorix, it might be better to use terminal text editors. eg: vim, emacs, nano, pico etc. for works that need to be done on the terminal | 12:37 |
| bibekp | mcphail, ^^^ what do you say ? | 12:37 |
| Azeotrope | Suddenly, my sound got crazy.. has a noise, reverd or syntetized effect. I restarted alsa-utils but still the same | 12:37 |
| paissad-hp | what's the equivalent of apt-get -b source packagename for aptitude ? | 12:37 |
| zizo | Listerthrawn: it was wicd that allow scripts after connection? | 12:37 |
| Krambiorix | :D | 12:37 |
| Younder | seriously postgresql has given me only plesant experiences. | 12:38 |
| Listerthrawn | zizo:- if Wicd allows post connect scripts then man iwconfig. I'm sure you can set it. | 12:38 |
| Balsaq | ReggyLove it was interesting, the nvidia driver (mine) only did better in the full screen mode, the one ubuntu configured for me was better over all though...not what i expected | 12:39 |
| Younder | no config problems, no db problems. When push comes to shove it always comes out in flying colors | 12:39 |
| Younder | there is always a way to do it :) | 12:39 |
| Younder | documentation is excellent | 12:40 |
| epinky | zizo: could you explain more about what you're trying to do, and why doesn't matter 5.5 or 11? do you have lower throughput? | 12:40 |
| magmarules | guys anyone knows of an application for user interface design prototyping for web forms? I was thinking of using "Dia" but cant find sheets with form elements | 12:40 |

| Younder | magmarules, propriatary or opensource | 12:41 |
| Krambiorix | but now it still doesn't work | 12:41 |
| Azeotrope | Ubuntu bugs! | 12:41 |
| magmarules | Younder, dont care, as long as its free =P | 12:41 |
| mcphail | Listerthrawn: i don't think NFS is old-hat by any means, but i suppose it depends on the operating systems on your network | 12:41 |
| Younder | magmarules, well for money you can't beat dreamweaver | 12:42 |
| zizo | epinky: ok, i'll tell the truth :) i need to set my wireless @ 1Mb/s (not 2, 5.5 or 11... i need 1), so i use iwconfig wlan0 rate 1M. Can i set net manager to do it automatically? | 12:42 |
| Younder | magmarules, there are several good python utillities which are free | 12:42 |
| magmarules | Younder, yeah i guess. But im happy with just designing it. No html generation is required for now =P | 12:42 |
| paissad-hp | what's the equivalent of apt-get -b source packagename for aptitude ? | 12:42 |
| magmarules | Younder, can you point me to one plz? | 12:43 |
| Younder | magmarules, one moment | 12:43 |
| epinky | zizo: If I were you, I'd set all my custom commands(rate selection included) on /etc/rc.local | 12:44 |
| Younder | magmarules, ok http://www.djangoproject.com | 12:44 |
| c0p3rn1c | is there maybe a command to reinstall all the packages I removed today? | 12:45 |
| indus | Younder: django is a web application framework, you sure he is looking for this? | 12:45 |
| magmarules | Younder, unn i dont think you understood my goal =). But ty anyway i think that instead of wasting time searching for a design tool i will just build my html form by and and prototype it like that =P | 12:46 |
| zizo | epinky: i can't do this, because it is a usb device and it isn't plugged in all the time, so wlan0 doesn't exists when script starts at boot | 12:46 |
| Serpico | i have a problem with kde my plasma-desktop don't charge.Can i do? | 12:46 |

| Agbeladem | I can't manage to install the PAM packages | 13:19 |

| ubottu | Younder ct529: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 13:20 |
| Sacho | it's a warning | 13:20 |
| Pici | Agbeladem: The fqdn message is a warning, it will not stop apache2 from actually starting. | 13:20 |
| Tina- | well isaid it was offtoppic :x | 13:20 |
| ct529 | Pici: I was asking about APT-CACHER for quite a while now .... | 13:21 |
| rsv_ | i have ubuntu 8.0.4 how can i upgrade to 9.10 | 13:22 |
| rsv_ | i have the CD of 9.10 | 13:22 |
| rsv_ | does it re-format my harddisk? | 13:22 |
| Younder | rsv_, no | 13:22 |
| LjL | you can't upgrade using the desktop cd, and you can't upgrade directly from 8.04 to 9.10, rsv_ | 13:23 |
| rsv_ | do i have to install all the packages all over again? | 13:23 |
| Pici | ct529: So? That doesn't mean that off-topic discussion is okay. If you haven't gotten an answer to your question feel free to ask again. | 13:23 |
| LjL | !upgrade > rsv_ (rsv_, see the private message from ubottu) | 13:23 |
| * ZachK_ is here to give assistance | 13:23 | |
| ct529 | hi! not long ago we discussed an approach to upgrading on a small network where you use one computer to store all the deb files at update time and all the other computers on the network update from that computer rather than off the internet. Anyone who remembers the links we mentioned? I have lost the references. | 13:23 |
| Younder | rsv_, you update over the network | 13:24 |
| inuit-joe | lukjad007: ZOMFG | 13:24 |
| ct529 | rsv_: the update goes quite smoothly normally, and it does not remove manually installed packages in /opt if you have any | 13:24 |
| Dominian | /20/ | 13:24 |
| frogzoo1 | !repo | 13:24 |
| ubottu | The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories | 13:24 |
| wrapster | is there quake 3 available on ubuntu? | 13:24 |
| rsv_ | okay | 13:24 |
| frogzoo1 | !local | 13:24 |
| inuit-joe | lukjad007: HELP! | 13:24 |
| wrapster | could not find it via apt-get | 13:24 |
| lukjad007 | inuit-joe Careful, this is a much stricter channel. Just FYI | 13:24 |
| LjL | inuit-joe: no need for the language | 13:24 |
| bazhang | inuit-joe, please stay on topic | 13:24 |
| ZachK_ | inuit-joe: ah what's up | 13:24 |
| lukjad007 | inuit-joe type /part #ubuntu bye | 13:24 |
| Prodego | .... | 13:25 |
| ZachK_ | wrapster: ah quake? | 13:25 |
| wrapster | ZachK_: yeah | 13:25 |
| ZachK_ | wrapster: that's a windows game man..... | 13:25 |
| om26er1 | ct529: when first system is update go to /var/cache/apt/archives/ and copy everything and save it somewhere. then on the other machine open terminal and browse where those files are from terminal and type sudo dpkg -i *.deb | 13:25 |
| Pici | ct529: both apt-cacher and apt-proxy might be useful for you. I personally use apt-proxy to cache package updates so that I don't need to do duplicate downloads for my Ubuntu computers. I don't have any links handy though. | 13:25 |

| eshat | Hi all, I need to perform a BIOS Update but have no floppy drive :(, is there a way to create a usb stick than simulates a floppy disc using an iso file (created with dd) ? | 13:26 |
| DASPRiD | ZachK_, since when is quake a windows game? | 13:26 |
| mcphail | ct529: article and discussion here: http://www.debian-administration.org/article/Keeping_many_Debian_servers_up_to_date_with_apt-proxy | 13:26 |
| ct529 | om26er1: that is not really what I am asking .... | 13:26 |
| wrapster | ZachK_: i know that but apt-get gives me this quake3-data | 13:26 |
| om26er1 | ok | 13:26 |
| wrapster | so i asked | 13:26 |
| ZachK_ | wrapster: well what quake game exactly are you looking for? | 13:26 |
| ct529 | Pici: I am using apt-cacher at the moment, but it does not appear to be able to keep track when you upgrade from one release to the other like 904>910 | 13:27 |
| ct529 | Pici: does pat-proxy do that? | 13:27 |
| wrapster | ZachK_: any version... actually. I just wnat to play in between my work thats all | 13:27 |
| ZachK_ | wrapster: try quake live | 13:27 |
| sipior | wrapster: quake 3 is certainly available for linux, but you'll need to buy the binary :-) | 13:27 |
| rsv_ | Started an upgrade, let me see how it goes | 13:27 |
| === Evil_DuDe_ is now known as Evil_DuDe | ||
| wrapster | sipior: not buying... | 13:27 |
| rsv_ | if it does not work you will find me here again!! | 13:27 |
| DASPRiD | sipior, nah, he needs to buy the pak0.pk3 ;) | 13:27 |
| rsv_ | thank you guys | 13:27 |
| DASPRiD | wrapster, try quake live | 13:27 |
| ZachK_ | wrapster: not sure if that's what you're looking for but it's free and it's in your browser | 13:27 |
| wrapster | ZachK_: live? could you pass on the link pls | 13:27 |
| ct529 | mcphail: thanks a lot | 13:27 |
| ZachK_ | wrapster: www.quakelive.com | 13:27 |
| ct529 | Pici: thanks a lot | 13:28 |
| ZachK_ | wrapster: i'm on there...it's awesome | 13:28 |
| sipior | DASPRiD: either way | 13:28 |
| DASPRiD | ZachK_, we all are ;) | 13:28 |
| ZachK_ | DASPRiD: haha | 13:28 |
| ZachK_ | DASPRiD: i'll wup you man... | 13:28 |
| ct529 | Pici: the aptitude strategy does download everything again though .... so you do not save the bandwidth | 13:28 |
| snow_ru | hi | 13:28 |
| mcphail | ct529: in interest of full disclosure, I have never used any of the methods mentioned! | 13:28 |
| Pici | ct529: Yeah, thats not really helpful I guess. | 13:29 |
| ct529 | mcphail: :D .... | 13:29 |
| Agbeladem | Okay guys I'm trying to run cgi on apache and I got "Forbidden you don't have permission to access /public_html/cgi-bin on this server..... I have to though and chmod 777 doesn't work | 13:29 |
| snow_ru | df -a => /dev/sda6 144450392 137113160 0 100% / . When I tried to rm somefiles, df -a doesn't update my free space !! | 13:29 |
| ct529 | Pici: mmmm .... you are using proxy, aren't you? can you manage the upgrade from one release to the other like 904>910? | 13:29 |
| Beefcakes | hello.. I added a file in /etc/conf/rules.d now Ubuntu won't boot after I restarted.... it just displays the busy mouse cursor forever. How do I fix this? | 13:30 |
| Pici | ct529: I haven't specifically tried it, but it should work. As long as you use the same repository server in your client's sources.list it should download the packages the first time, but every subsequent time they'll just be grabbed locally over your network. | 13:31 |
| nazzzux | Why won't my Codeblocks startup when I open it? I've tried to reinstall it. | 13:32 |
| ct529 | Pici: sounds interesting .... I may switch over from apt-cacher to apt-proxy | 13:32 |
| Sacho | Agbeladem: that's not apache unable to open that, that's you not having access to view it, I think | 13:33 |
| Agbeladem | I added the line needed for cgi according to doc | 13:34 |
| Agbeladem | ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/public_html/cgi-bin | 13:34 |
| Agbeladem | etc | 13:34 |
| Agbeladem | and now it's not accessible | 13:34 |
| FloodBot3 | Agbeladem: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 13:35 |
| Beefcakes | The 9.10 logo loads up, the loading splash screen then a blank empty screen with just the busy mouse cursor... anyway to fix this? | 13:35 |
| Sacho | It might be better to ask in #httpd | 13:35 |
| DaZ | Beefcakes: livecd? :f | 13:35 |
| Sacho | or whatever the apache channel is | 13:35 |
| ct529 | Pici: by the way, apt-proxy works also for ubuntu repositories I imagine .... :) | 13:35 |
| Beefcakes | DaZ: how do I fix it using the livecd? | 13:36 |
| DaZ | Beefcakes: i'm asking is it during the installation or on an installed os :f | 13:36 |
| Beefcakes | an installed os | 13:36 |
| sigius | Question: I want to install 'patch' . Howdo | 13:36 |

| DaZ | Beefcakes: you can boot a livecd or append 3 in grub in kernel line | 13:39 |
| DaZ | Beefcakes: or if it's ext3 you can use it from windows :f | 13:39 |
| crawler | hello. i'm having trouble figuring out how to make a list of all the packages/software that i have personally installed..any recommendations? | 13:39 |
| Beefcakes | DaZ: how do I append 3 in grub in kernel line? sorry total nub =/ | 13:40 |
| zombi | it says "No proprietary drivers are in use on this system." but i have an nvidia card and want to install the drivers from nvidia.. :/ | 13:40 |
| epinky | sigius: sudo aptitude install devscripts ubuntu-dev-tools | 13:40 |
| DaZ | eh | 13:40 |
| crawler | hopefully there is a way go about this easily. | 13:40 |
| DaZ | Beefcakes: i'm not familiar with grub2 | 13:40 |
| Beefcakes | DaZ: I cant exactly pull the drive out conveniently, its a laptop | 13:40 |
| DaZ | i keep forgeting about it [; | 13:40 |

| s0urce | any1 an idea, why my teamspeak get double mic input while using pulseaudio oss emulation? | 13:46 |
| nazzzux | iceroot: how do i do that? I'm kind of a noob. | 13:46 |
| === jmrodri-gone is now known as jmrodri | ||
| Beefcakes | DaZ: so how can I fix this.. ? :| | 13:46 |
| iceroot | nazzzux: start a terminal (alt+f2) type in "gnome-terminal" and then type in the name of the application you want to start | 13:46 |
| iceroot | !tab | nazzzux | 13:46 |
| ubottu | nazzzux: You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 13:46 |
| s0urce | not in each client :) | 13:47 |
| zombi | i have three audio devices which are all selectable for input, but only one of them shows up for output.... why? | 13:47 |
| lemmo | hi. I want to compile the ubuntu kernel 2.6.32. do I need to apply any patches? | 13:47 |
| Rajasun | crawler: dpkg --get-selections > /home/yourusername/dpkg-get-selections-master.txt | 13:48 |
| s0urce | zombi, this should be the default device wich u selected in system->pref->sound | 13:48 |
| epinky | !customkernel | lemmo | 13:48 |
| ubottu | lemmo: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages | 13:48 |
| zamba | how can i repackage a ubuntu package? | 13:49 |

| zombi | s0urce, if i go to what you said...all my hardware shows up under the hardware tab... all of them show up under input... but only one device shows up under output | 13:50 |
| cslamar | hello, how can i change the default app that launches when i insert a cd? | 13:50 |
| lemmo | epinky: someone in #linux told me yesterday that it is better for me to compile kernel 2.6.32 instead of using 2.6.31-16-generic with karmic. I had some problems on my laptop with graphics and resolution etc | 13:50 |
| zombi | which to me, just makes no sense at all | 13:50 |
| zombi | but when has the sound system in linux ever made practical sense? | 13:50 |
| crawler | nevermind, i found the command "dpkg --get-selections | grep -v deinstall > ubuntu-files". thanks anyhow ;-) | 13:50 |
| Beefcakes | Hi I have 9.10 installed in my laptop... I just restarted the system after adding a file in /etc/conf/rules.d .. now it doesn't boot. It just loads the 9.10 logo, then the Ubuntu loading screen then just an empty blank screen with the loading mouse cursor which is movable.. | 13:50 |
| s0urce | zombi, was just an idea, i have some sound problems too, and try to fix since hours :) | 13:51 |
| epinky | lemmo: then follow that guide | 13:51 |
| R1_ | Hi.... is anyone here familiar with patching ipw2200 drivers in ubuntu 9.10? | 13:51 |

| nazzzux | iceroot: Okay. thanks. | 13:52 |

| orly_owl | it's a bash script, something need to run it | 13:54 |

| orly_owl | i plugged my monitor in and the gnome desktop is there | 14:01 |
| mcphail | orly_owl: if you want to run a script at boot there are a number of ways. I find the easiest is to add to your crontab | 14:01 |
| xrandr | milligan_: is it mounting it as a disk? | 14:01 |
| milligan_ | xrandr, doesn't look like it | 14:01 |
| orly_owl | mcphail: do you have the /exact/ line i would add? i suck at crontab | 14:02 |
| xrandr | milligan_: go to a command prompt and type in mount. see if it is | 14:02 |
| milligan_ | it's not | 14:02 |
| ardchoille | milligan_: is this cell phone Android based? | 14:02 |

| zamba | Rajasun: that's exactly what i'm looking for - thank you! | 14:05 |
| mcphail | ardchoille: why does the user need to be logged in? it is the cron daemon which executes it | 14:05 |

| Rajasun | zamba: np ;) | 14:05 |
| xrandr | milligan_: what kind of phone is it? | 14:05 |

| milligan_ | xrandr, se w880i | 14:06 |
| xrandr | snoop: not sure if you can. you'd have to remain outside of Xwindws | 14:06 |
| xrandr | milligan_: and what purpose does plugging it in serve? sync contacts, or just charging? | 14:06 |
| sileht | .Quit | 14:07 |
| anoop | xrandr, but jaunty works well | 14:07 |
| milligan_ | xrandr, trying to get it into my virtualbox xp machine so I can get fetch the friggin' contactlist. | 14:07 |
| chilli0 | Ubuntu live cd 9.10 is at the login screen whats the pass and usr name ? | 14:07 |
| Guillem_ | Can I know when I installed my ubuntu system? sort of creation time for / ? | 14:07 |
| geekphreak | why is uuntu cd asking for username/pass on install at login? | 14:07 |
| xrandr | snoop: well for some reason karmic doesn't like your monitor. If you actually install the thing in text mode, you might be able to edit the xorg.conf and set it up the correct way so that you can use X | 14:07 |
| jozefk | i forgot where is the conf file located for changing the http port? | 14:08 |
| orly_owl | mcphail: nope. didnt work | 14:08 |
| xrandr | milligan_: ah ok, then in some aspect it's performing something similar to 'mount' | 14:08 |
| geekphreak | jozefk: /etc/apache2 | 14:08 |
| anoop | i cant see the xorg.conf | 14:08 |
| orly_owl | i think having my VGA monitor unplugged stuffs something up | 14:08 |
| xrandr | snoop: re-read what i said. | 14:08 |
| jozefk | i think my httpd.conf file on that location is blank | 14:08 |
| jozefk | but I'll check the rest of the files | 14:09 |
| jozefk | thanks | 14:09 |
| mcphail | orly_owl: i suspect that X/GDM/GNOME complain about running "headless" | 14:09 |
| goose | jozefk: httpd.conf is blank with apache2. check out apache2.conf | 14:09 |
| Beefcakes | Hi I have 9.10 installed in my laptop... I just restarted the system after adding a file in /etc/conf/rules.d .. now it doesn't boot. It just loads the 9.10 logo, then the Ubuntu loading screen then just an empty blank screen with the loading mouse cursor which is movable.. | 14:09 |
| geekphreak | jozefk: see apache2.conf? | 14:09 |
| orly_owl | mcphail: that's the word | 14:09 |
| xrandr | snoop: if you install ubuntu via text mode, you'll be able to edit the xorg.conf once the installation is complete | 14:09 |
| goose | jozefk: httpd.conf is still used in apache2, but the primary config is apache2.conf | 14:09 |
| jozefk | will see it now | 14:09 |
| milligan_ | xrandr, quite possibly.. I might have messed it up myself by chosing some sort of default handling .. but I can't seem to figure out how to release the damn thing, or what's holding it. | 14:09 |
| anoop | xrandr: but i cnnot enter setup | 14:09 |
| chilli0 | Ubuntu live cd 9.10 is at the login screen whats the pass and usr name ? | 14:09 |
| mcphail | orly_owl: anything in the Xorg log? | 14:10 |
| orly_owl | probably | 14:10 |
| anoop | xrandr: but i cnnot enter setup | 14:10 |
| xrandr | milligan_: not sure either. Checked google? | 14:10 |
| wyverex | I have a lexmark s405 network printer. The linux driver they have is only 32bit and I am running 9.10 64 bit. Is there any way to use this printer without resorting to a VM? | 14:10 |
| anoop | xrandr: i cannot stop gdm either | 14:11 |
| jozefk | the port configuration is not there. only I have Include /etc/apache2/ports.conf | 14:11 |
| jozefk | line | 14:11 |
| xrandr | snoop: No, you simply cannot enter setup in the graphical mode. check the ubuntu website for instructions on how to install via text mode | 14:11 |
| milligan_ | xrandr, all day :-\ | 14:11 |
| jozefk | so most probably port is configurated separately | 14:11 |
| geekphreak | jozefk: no man | 14:11 |
| geekphreak | edit /etc/apache2/apache2.conf >> change LISTEN : 80 | 14:11 |

| xrandr | milligan_: ok, does the device show up in the nautilus file browser? | 14:13 |
| jozefk | i don't have that listen in my apache2.conf file | 14:13 |

| ZioCorto | xini: server error. | 14:13 |
| milligan_ | xrandr, never used that, hehe. Where can I find it ? :) | 14:13 |
| mcphail | jozefk: the "Listen" line is in /etc/apache2/ports.conf | 14:13 |
| jozefk | it's separate now in ports.conf file | 14:13 |
| xrandr | ZioCorto: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop or sudo apt-get install xorg-server | 14:13 |
| jozefk | i got it :) thanks | 14:13 |
| ZioCorto | xrandr: they are there | 14:13 |
| xrandr | milligan_: click on Places -> Home | 14:14 |
| xrandr | that opens nautilus | 14:14 |
| milligan_ | xrandr, doesn't look like it does. | 14:14 |
| xrandr | or open a terminal and type nautilus | 14:14 |

| milligan_ | xrandr, yep, that's it. VirtualBox is displaying the device, but graying it out. Then, sudo VBoxManage list usbhost says Current State: Busy, for that device | 14:19 |
| jozefk | i think that virtual host is for using let's say Public_Html folder in ~/ instead of /var/www | 14:19 |

| anthony_ | Hi. Can anyone help me get my new install connected to wireless? | 14:34 |
| xrandr | anthony_: you running gnome or KDE? | 14:35 |
| Beefcakes | anyone have a ZTE MF622 3G modem here they use in Ubuntu? | 14:35 |
| MTecknology | erUSUL: .... any idea how to fix that? | 14:35 |
| wyverex | The problem I'm running in to is they hid the deb file a precompiled installer | 14:35 |
| alankila | rubbs: I have not. I have found many interpreters and VMs to be slower in their 64-bit versions, or to use more memory for same task. | 14:35 |
| wyverex | so I can't force the arch | 14:35 |
| anthony_ | xrandr: gnome, until i can add kde | 14:35 |
| om26er | mcphail: it is if you don't use PAE kernel | 14:35 |
| sipior | om26er: i'm pretty sure that was his point. | 14:36 |
| rubbs | alankila: it depends on what you're doing. if you have a 64 bit python interpreter you can see real performance increases | 14:36 |
| xrandr | anthony_: well, the network manager should work for you... | 14:36 |
| mcphail | om26er: that would be true | 14:36 |
| anthony_ | xrandr: i used ndiswrapper yesterday, and got my driver, but it just wont connect | 14:36 |
| alankila | and the few apps I have measured explicitly as 32-bit/64-bit versions have run just the same. Of course, that's not exhaustive testing. But for the stuff I care about, 64-bit has been consistently a LOSS. :-( | 14:36 |
| xrandr | anthony_: is the rotuer secured via WEP or WPA(2) ? | 14:36 |
| anthony_ | xrandr: keeps making the little swirlie over and over | 14:36 |
| mcphail | wyverex: what happens when you try to install the 32bit driver? | 14:36 |
| scottandmonique | anthony try without encryption first | 14:36 |
| anthony_ | xrandr: as far as i know, wep/ 2wire brand | 14:37 |
| alankila | rubbs: I used to write Perl code and at least the Perl interpreter was slower in 64-bit | 14:37 |
| rubbs | alankila: I believe you. It's not always the best idea. Just for me it was. 64 bit is almost never a black and white issue | 14:37 |
| wyverex | the installer calls dpkg -i so I get a wrong arch error | 14:37 |
| xrandr | anthony_: remove the encryption on the router and see if it connects as an 'open' network | 14:37 |
| erUSUL | HaskellLove: seems like a problem with the graphic driver. see the drm messages around 15:07 in syslog and messages | 14:37 |
| erUSUL | HaskellLove: which graphic card driver are you using ? | 14:37 |
| HaskellLove | havent installed driver | 14:38 |
| anthony_ | xrandr: i can't find the password for my router. I thought it would be the same one i log in with, or "password" or "admin" | 14:38 |
| mcphail | wyverex: if you are brave/foolish you could try forcing the architecture. Maybe try it from a liveCD? | 14:38 |
| rubbs | anthony_: what type of router do you have? | 14:38 |
| HaskellLove | erUSUL have not installed because never asked me to, everything was fine, except once i tried to playe openArena and the game was terrible | 14:38 |
| anthony_ | rubbs: 2wire, at my parents house | 14:39 |

| Guillem_ | alankila, 64 bit is almost mandatory when you require more than 1Gb of RAM for a certain task/program (crunching numbers, ...). | 14:40 |

| alankila | wyverex: you could replace the dpkg binary in /usr/bin to always pass --force-architecture to some underlying dpkg.orig... Just replace it with a shell script for the duration of install. Giant hack, of course. | 14:40 |
| rao | Hey guys, am using 9.04 and I installed some security updates last night (which updated the kernel to 2.6.28-17). Everything works fine, but whenever I watch avi files regardless of the player, red squares keep appearing on the screen. anyone know how to fix that? | 14:40 |

| rubbs | anthony_: defaults are user:Admin Pass:Wireless | 14:40 |
| anthony_ | rubbs: what do you suppose is the address. it's not my ip? | 14:40 |
| rubbs | anthony_: just a sec, I'll find out | 14:41 |
| wyverex | I'll try that hack, at least companies are starting to acknowledge the linux world | 14:41 |
| alankila | Guillem_: the limit doesn't go at 1 GB, but around 3 GB. But it is a valid point. Unless you actually need a ton of RAM, 64 bit may yield very little benefit and some harm like worse support in most programs that do advanced things. | 14:41 |

| Oddbio | why can't wine just like "recreate" applications in OpenGL code, and then if there's any further bugs developers can go in and fix them and then you basically end up with a native Linux app??? | 14:42 |
| wyverex | perlmonkey2: no. but I know my netbook is running linux | 14:42 |
| vegar_ | How can i hide the "Has joined" "Has Quit" etc? [Using irssi?] | 14:42 |
| bazhang | !quietirssi | vegar_ | 14:42 |
| ubottu | vegar_: To ignore joins, parts, quits in irssi: /ignore #ubuntu +JOINS +PARTS +QUITS | 14:42 |
| Guillem_ | alankila, there is a range, that can be used with 32bit but at some cost. I'm not sure about the figures, but I might say that between 1Gb and 3Gb the OS can manage with 32bit but introducing computational cost... | 14:42 |
| rubbs | anthony_: try 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.2.1 | 14:43 |
| erUSUL | HaskellLove: ok; dunno what to do about it... maybe you can try this ppa with updated drivers https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates | 14:43 |
| rubbs | anthony_: I'll keep looking. do you know what model the router is? not just manufactorer? | 14:43 |
| vegar_ | nice, thank you bazhang | 14:43 |
| wanted | it sayign nohup emerald -replace | 14:43 |
| wanted | nohup: ignoring input and appending output to `/home/wanted/nohup.out' | 14:43 |
| Guillem_ | alankila, also, I'm on 64bit for the last three years, and nowadays everything runs just OK out of the box. It is so long I've not used the 32bit chroot... | 14:44 |
| wyverex | mcphail: thanks for the idea, I'll test it out later | 14:44 |

| om26er | !emerald | wanted | 14:44 |
| ubottu | wanted: emerald is an obsolete window decorator for compiz. It's unsupported and unmaintained, making issues with it very hard to diagnose and fix. There are no known, supported alternatives. | 14:44 |
| anthony_ | rubbs: thanks so much for your help. i'll go upstairs and restart it and get the model number as well. | 14:44 |
| rubbs | anthony_: np. | 14:44 |
| wanted | ubottu: so there is no option at all for this case | 14:44 |
| xrandr | wanted, good. you can now close that terminal window | 14:44 |
| erUSUL | HaskellLove: no; free drivers such as the one you are using are installed automatically | 14:44 |
| lzrdking | am i online? | 14:45 |
| erUSUL | HaskellLove: you only need to manually install third party binary only dricvers | 14:45 |
| soreau | lzrdking: nope | 14:45 |
| xrandr | lzrdking: I think so | 14:45 |
| alankila | Guillem_: consider that 64 bits do not come from free. If you had a program that would run in 32-bit system, it potentially uses pointers to reference RAM. These are now 64-bit. Also 64-bit binaries are generally larger. Some of the alleged efficiency of 64-bit assembly is eaten by larger size of assembly and increased demand for memory. | 14:45 |
| HaskellLove | erUSUL so what to do on the web u gave me? | 14:45 |
| epinky | lzrdking: not sure :) | 14:45 |
| wanted | xrandr: if i close the terminal window, i loose that border | 14:45 |
| rubbs | wanted: just fyi ubottu is a bot, not a real person. | 14:46 |
| erUSUL | HaskellLove: updated free drivers. you have to add that repositorie to your sources | 14:46 |
| Guillem_ | alankila, :P | 14:46 |
| erUSUL | !ppa | HaskellLove | 14:46 |
| ubottu | HaskellLove: 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. | 14:46 |
| xrandr | wanted: the syntax is: nohup emerald --replace /path/to/theme/file | 14:46 |
| alankila | And there are thing like Java which is immensely pointer happy, to the point that running a java application in 64-bit VM uses about twice the memory to 32-bit VM. The difference may not be trivial, although Java introduced -XX:+UseCompressedOops just for this. | 14:46 |
| soreau | wanted: The command is emerald --replace, and you should put it in ccsm>Window Decoration>Command field so it starts when compiz does | 14:46 |
| xrandr | nohup makes it go to the background | 14:46 |
| wanted | ok, let me try | 14:46 |
| HaskellLove | erUSUL how? | 14:46 |
| xrandr | wanted: the syntax is: nohup emerald --replace /path/to/theme/file & | 14:46 |
| lzrdking | thanks for the smart answers :P sometimes mu cable disconnects me but pidgin doesn't | 14:47 |
| xrandr | make sure you use the & | 14:47 |
| Guillem_ | alankila, yeah, memory fragmentation issues are harder in 64bit | 14:47 |
| erUSUL | HaskellLove: read the docs ubottu told you and the page i linked | 14:47 |
| === anthony is now known as Guest39201 | ||
| Guillem_ | alankila, at least as far as I know... | 14:47 |
| soreau | wanted: Also, you can use Alt+F2 or you can close the terminal if you use emerald --replace & disown | 14:47 |
| HaskellLove | erUSUL just tell me man | 14:47 |
| Guest39201 | rubbs: it's a 2wire 1701 hg i accessed it yesterday, can't remember today, sorry | 14:47 |
| lzrdking | btw, pidgin kinda sucks, there is no input history | 14:47 |
| om26er | lzrdking: pidgin is great | 14:48 |
| lzrdking | soreau: whats "disown"? | 14:48 |
| rubbs | Guest3901: np. just a sec | 14:48 |

| wanted | there was one more problem, in pidigin i am not able to login to yahooo, watz i want to do, or any ubuntu version yahoo messenger | 14:49 |
| * om26er thinks why not use web browser for emails. | 14:50 | |
| lzrdking | oh right, its evolution i use, not empathy... | 14:50 |
| Snossages | I tried pidgin, seemed like yet another half-baked chat app... even the incomplete stuff was more incomplete than usual | 14:50 |
| rubbs | Guest39201: good to hear, unfortunately I have to go, so if you need more help just ask the question, someone else should be able to pick up | 14:50 |
| rubbs | Guest39201: good luck | 14:50 |
| Sacho | pidgin is not great for irc | 14:50 |
| om26er | Snossages: so what you use? | 14:50 |
| Guest39201 | rubbs: thanks again for your help | 14:50 |
| lzrdking | om26er: i wanted to set up the calendar in evolution and it had me set up email, so i use it with my gmail account and now i don't need to go to the website | 14:50 |
| Snossages | om26er: oh I stick to ichat | 14:50 |

| grifo74 | how ca i access a past in virtualbox ??????? it's possibe???? | 14:51 |
| coz_ | Sacho, what are you using other than pidgin | 14:51 |

| Sacho | xchat or irssi? | 14:51 |
| Icehawk78__ | Is it possible to use screen in an ssh session, but still have its scrollback sent to my terminal? | 14:51 |
| xrandr | wanted: i use Kopete for instant messenging. Also, empathy will log in | 14:51 |
| wanted | ok | 14:51 |
| om26er | lzrdking: chromium browser also have a create application option so need for me to have an app for emails | 14:51 |
| coz_ | Sacho, well both of those are more than adequate I use xchat here | 14:52 |
| Snossages | om26er: but I do much more chatting on irc than on any im network, so if anything I care about irc apps way more than the silly commercial im stuff | 14:52 |
| mcphail | Icehawk78__: use "Ctrl - Esc" and then the up and down arrow to scroll. "Esc" again to exit | 14:52 |
| mcphail | Icehawk78__: sorry "ctrl-A then Esc" | 14:52 |
| alankila | There was some work to make screen the default context for all terminal sessions... I wonder what happened with it | 14:52 |
| alankila | that way you could have long-running programs, reconnect to them, and have working history too... | 14:53 |
| Icehawk78__ | mcphail: So, no way to be able to just use putty's own scrollbar for that? | 14:53 |
| om26er | how do i know that when did i did my last ubuntu install. | 14:53 |
| mcphail | Icehawk78__: don't think so. That;s the method I use | 14:53 |
| om26er | no app install the whole ubuntu installation | 14:53 |
| lzrdking | om26er: but chrome just came out for linux | 14:54 |
| epinky | grifo74: better ask on #vbox channel | 14:54 |

| lzrdking | see, my modem just dropped off for a moment, but nothing alerted to me that fact other than internet apps stopped receiving | 14:54 |

| Schamane | get failures like | 15:25 |
| Schamane | ikonia: so what? | 15:25 |
| Snossages | always_smile: there's gotta be a version of realplayer that can handle those | 15:25 |
| Schamane | its installed and in repo, so it should work ;) | 15:25 |
| ikonia | Schamane: I didn't think it was compatible with ubutnu and upstart | 15:25 |

| IdleOne | always_smile: type the first few letters of the name and hit tab key to complete the name | 15:29 |
| Snossages | vegar_: aha, you're not looking for a spdif expert... you're looking for a *your make & model of soundcard* expert. It'll be a driver option, and the driver for your card may not have complete support. | 15:29 |
| xrandr | wow, im having quite a few dyslexic moments here | 15:29 |
| always_smile | i do agree it can be challanging,but why to keep it that complicated,with need fr commands n lot of hassle? | 15:29 |
| Schamane | ikonia: which tool do you use for runlevels in ubuntu? | 15:29 |

| vegar_ | Snossages: Okay, thank you so far :) Next step is to find someone that's leet with my motherboard then? Because it's an integrated card (It's so "easy" to find linux drivers for it. Unbelieveable). It's model name is "P5E3 Deluxe WiFi/AP @n" | 15:30 |
| Shihan | hey guys, im having a weird problem... i've got a samba mounted directory and when ever i save something to it (i.e. download from a browser for example) its getting corrupted... i upgraded to 9.10 today, anyone heard anything like that? | 15:30 |
| sj4m35-15 | Shihan:what file system are you using? | 15:31 |
| Schamane | ikonia: thx, but can it list the staus of the services too? | 15:31 |
| Shihan | the server is fed 11 with boring old ext3 | 15:31 |
| sj4m35-15 | Shihan: is it NTFS, EXT4, ETX3...ETC. | 15:31 |
| ikonia | Schamane: yes, although I'm not sure of the syntax without looking | 15:31 |
| Snossages | vegar_: in my experience, when you need to get support for a very specific feature like that, it's often easier just to replace the hardware with something known to be better supported. I don't know what your situation is, but you may find it to be a faster (and ultimately cheaper) way out | 15:31 |
| ikonia | Shihan: what is the OS on the client | 15:31 |
| jamiejackson | how would i install libstdc++5 in karmic? only v6 is listed | 15:32 |

| Shihan | ubuntu 9.10 | 15:32 |
| Schamane | ikonia: ok, thank you, disable worked fine, checked it with chkconfig ;) | 15:32 |
| ikonia | Shihan: if you just drop a text fle onto the samba share, and then view it, is it corrupted ? | 15:32 |
| gbs-wes | has anyone worked on the "clutter toolkit" any? | 15:32 |
| Snossages | always_smile: it's been a while, but I vaguely recall that a ram file has no audio in it, but just contains an url that realplayer uses to go get the actual payload audio. | 15:33 |
| thomas3 | Gedit Problem: All my .html.erb files have dissapeared from the side-pane. They are still there and I can still see them with Nautillus. | 15:33 |

| Shihan | doesnt appear to be no | 15:33 |
| epinky | jamiejackson: yes, install 6 and make symbolic links instead | 15:33 |
| vegar_ | Snossages: I need something that's, as you say, well supported | 15:34 |
| thomas3 | ???? Any body have any ideas? | 15:34 |
| jamiejackson | epinky: did that, but has some dependency problems. found the 5 deb in repos, will try that | 15:34 |
| Shihan | though whenever i download anything with chrome or firefox directly to it, it does | 15:34 |
| Snossages | vegar_: not of the top of my head... I do very little audio work in linux. let's google around and see what we find | 15:34 |

| Slart | laeg: pulseaudio? or that's already enabled? | 15:35 |
| BlouBlou | efren: do you need help with ubuntu? | 15:35 |
| laeg | Slart: how do i check? | 15:35 |
| vegar_ | Snossages: Okay :) | 15:35 |
| laeg | Slart: i've just fixed a bug i had with sound fading after 20 seconds, i've entered a lot of commands, not sure what i've changed | 15:35 |
| Slart | laeg: in vlc you can check the settings.. there should be a pulseaudio output module | 15:35 |
| laeg | Slart: hmm | 15:36 |
| Schoen|Attic | i need a .sh script i can put in crontab that detects if a program is running and if it isn't running it should launch the program | 15:36 |
| laeg | Slart: sorry, i'll need a little more? | 15:36 |
| Slart | laeg: you can also check in system, preferences, sound and see what you've set different sounds to use.. there should be auto, pulse, alsa and possibly something else | 15:36 |
| jamiejackson | epinky, v5 deb worked | 15:36 |
| Slart | laeg: ok, hang on.. let me check | 15:36 |
| epinky | !yay | jamiejackson | 15:37 |
| ubottu | jamiejackson: Glad you made it! :-) | 15:37 |
| ikonia | Schoen|Attic: not hard to write, some simple bash tutorials will work that out | 15:37 |
| Schoen|Attic | will it work for windows program in wine? | 15:37 |
| Snossages | vegar_: seen this one? http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-general-1/no-output-through-spdif-but-analog-works.-how-do-i-get-output-through-spdif-265174/ | 15:37 |
| Slart | laeg: in vlc, go to Tools, Preferences. Then select the Audio section and look at "Output", "Type" | 15:38 |
| terrorinkorporat | RAWR | 15:38 |
| ikonia | Schoen|Attic: possibly | 15:38 |
| Slart | Schoen|Attic: ps aux | grep program_process_name and something after that | 15:38 |
| Jaymac | I see thunderbird3 has finally been released :) does anyone know if there are plans to add it to b ackports/ | 15:39 |

| Snossages | vegar_: just to confirm... was it output or input that you were trying to enable? just stereo PCM, right? | 15:40 |
| vegar_ | Snossages: The thread is from 2004, making alot of the stuff mentioned there hard to do. | 15:40 |
| vegar_ | Snossages: Just output | 15:40 |
| chompskies | hi guys, scripting noob here :P with bash, is it possible to have a comment after the '\' char? | 15:41 |
| vegar_ | Snossages: What I wan't is 5.1 surround, DB Digital / DTS sound via my s/pdif cable :) | 15:41 |
| Snossages | vegar_: well the important bit is that they're talking about a poorly-labeled feature in alsa, which is still the current sound system... maybe it's been fixed, maybe not. spdif is kinda old and unloved these days, you know? | 15:41 |
| chompskies | eg command --option \ #comment | 15:41 |

| willvarfar | what tools are there for profiling a multi-process application? | 15:45 |
| Snossages | vegar_: I don't really mess with surround, but the encoded stuff should be transported just fine on the raw spdif signal... I'm not sure what to suggest for verifying that path | 15:45 |
| cantoma | guys i am trying to do: mount /dev/sdc1 pen/ as a user. which gives -> mount only root can do that. How can i fix the problem? | 15:45 |
| willvarfar | cantoma, sudo | 15:46 |
| epinky | cantoma: sudo mount /dev/sdc1 pen/ | 15:46 |
| Slart | thomas3: This is the Ubuntu support channel.. you can ask almost anything that is ubuntu support related | 15:46 |
| Slart | thomas3: I would say that gedit is included in that.. so yes.. I think you're in the right channel | 15:46 |

| thomas3 | Thanks Slart - basically the Gedit side pane suddenly stopped working properly - it's nolonger listing certain files | 15:48 |
| epinky | cantoma: you'll need to modify /etc/sudoers, however if you can't execute sudo you'll need some privileged account to do that | 15:48 |
| cantoma | epinky, i don't | 15:49 |
| thomas3 | What would be the best fix? | 15:49 |
| Slart | thomas3 in the File browser? or in the Documents pane? | 15:49 |

| epinky | cantoma: absolutely | 15:50 |
| Snossages | vegar_: that said, have a look at http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/Alsa_Preferred_Soundcards | 15:50 |
| thomas3 | In the Side-Pane they appear fine if I go open file from the menu | 15:50 |
| Slart | thomas3: is there some kind of pattern to the kind of files that do show up? or in the files that doesn't show up? | 15:50 |
| sempai_ | re | 15:50 |
| thomas3 | Yes - .html.erb files | 15:51 |
| thomas3 | .rb files and .builder files are listed normally | 15:51 |
| reign2 | Im attempting to start a file from a bash prompt using mplayer but the link: smb://[user]@[ip]/[drive letter]/[filename] returns a file not found. can anyone shed some light on this? | 15:52 |
| Spoom | i am attempting to burn a dvd iso to a dvd+r in karmic, have tried with both brasero and dvdrecord, and both have failed, brasero with an unknown error, dvdrecord with "dvdrecord: Input/output error. reserve track: scsi sendcmd: no error", any ideas for getting it to burn successfully? | 15:52 |
| Slart | thomas3: hmm.. odd... not really sure why it would do that | 15:52 |
| ice_cream | hi, i was wondering which kernel (basically pae or not) would be optimal for my old 1gb ram laptop | 15:52 |
| terrorinkorporat | can u install kde on ubuntu ? or is it a real pain in the arse | 15:52 |
| thomas3 | :)Me neither | 15:53 |
| Snossages | Spoom: have you tried other media? | 15:53 |
| CShadowRun | ice_cream: not | 15:53 |
| ice_cream | i read that pae was for support for >64gb, does it do anything else | 15:53 |
| Slart | ice_cream: afaik there's no reason for PAE with less than 4GB of ram | 15:53 |
| CShadowRun | ice_cream: you don't need PAE for <4GB RAM | 15:53 |
| Spoom | Snossages, not yet, but this media has worked for me before on a windows machine | 15:53 |
| ice_cream | 4* | 15:53 |
| ice_cream | yea nod | 15:53 |
| thomas3 | It just suddenly did | 15:53 |
| CShadowRun | ice_cream: nope, it does nothing else :) | 15:53 |
| switch10_ | terrorinkorporat: its easy | 15:53 |
| ice_cream | CShadowRun, thx | 15:53 |
| terrorinkorporat | cool ty | 15:53 |
| switch10_ | terrorinkorporat: you can run all the KDE apps you want | 15:54 |
| terrorinkorporat | does anybody here have really good exp with backtrack ? | 15:54 |
| Snossages | Spoom: can't assume that it'll behave the same with different drivers doing the work. (though it is pretty uncommon, so we'll look at other possibilities) | 15:54 |
| vegar_ | Snossages: I think i'll just leave this for later, thank you so much for the assistance. I'll buy a new card, from the wiki you linked and see what happends next. Thank you so much for all the help. | 15:54 |
| hccmb | hello there | 15:54 |

| hccmb | no i mean i have an offline .html file, no when i click it gedit starts and not firefox, wrong default | 15:57 |

| switch10_ | hccmb: there is an option to open it with any program if you right click on it | 15:58 |
| hccmb | i can do that, yes, but i have to do that every time | 15:58 |
| aaron11 | thiebaude: Read the question properly | 15:58 |

| mildred | Hello, the version of ubuntu that I installed uses xfce as the default desktop environment. I want to switch to gnome. but when I try to install it through synaptic, it tells me that the dependencies will not install. How can I fix this? | 16:01 |

| aaron11 | unesco: Please be more detailed | 16:01 |

Type dpkg -l|grep kde and dpkg -l|grep qt after you have run either the apt-get or aptitude --purge commands. And then there are also your more obscure but still kde but like soprano-daemon. | 16:56 |

| ^workman^ | chai_: firewall turned on on the remote host? | 18:23 |
| jozefk | maybe I should try to ask in some other channel :) | 18:23 |
| Schamane | jozefk: there more than on failure in your error.log, i would say read this and work with it step by step http://www.debuntu.org/2006/02/22/7-virtual-hosting-using-apache-2 | 18:23 |
| sdwrage | epinky, I mean I can read a tut on mounting I just dont know what device it is I need to mount... or maybe I can move to a partition on hd0? | 18:23 |
| mgv1 | do i need to configure my router to use torrents? | 18:23 |

| epinky | unesco: I'd go for method 3 METHOD 3 - CHROOT on that link | 18:26 |
| ^workman^ | chai_: are you behind a router? or is this system connected directly? | 18:27 |
| Schamane | sdwrage: fdisk -l shows you the disks which are connected, so you should see which device you want to mount | 18:27 |
| chai_ | ^workman^, both computers are connected to the same router | 18:27 |

| Slart | lukesky: sometimes there is an uninstall option.. ie where you did "sudo make install" you instead do "sudo make uninstall" | 18:28 |
| chai_ | tdomhan, sounds like a bug, you should report that | 18:28 |
| ^workman^ | chai_: try turning off IP tables - then test ssh between them (making sure you are running ssh server), then turn iptables back on, and do iptables -L and pastbin that info | 18:28 |
| lukesky | i need the old script back? :/ | 18:28 |
| kitchen | or iptables ... -p tcp --dport 22 -log # depending | 18:28 |
| Slart | lukesky: but it kind of depends on how you installed it.. you need to go to the same place that told you how to install it.. | 18:28 |
| Schamane | sdwrage: or you can use dmesg, if you connect the disk to the running systems | 18:28 |

| epinky | sdwrage: after idenitifying as Schamane said, you'll want to mount with: sudo mount /dev/sdXY /mnt and you're done (X is usually a letter{b,c,d,..} and Y a number{1,2,3,..} | 18:29 |
| lukesky | now i know why they warned me | 18:29 |

| maco | Hans_Henrik: yes, it includes iptables, which is unconfigured because there are no services listening on any ports. no services mean no connections can be made, so its as good as having a firewall dropping everything | 18:32 |
| ^workman^ | Alan502: hmm, sorry I'm not an audio expert | 18:32 |

| Schamane | jozefk: its configured in your virtual host again i think, also your webdirectory seems to be /var/www not /www | 19:07 |
| jozefk | the default host is /var/www | 19:07 |
| jozefk | the one I made a while ago is in ~/www | 19:07 |
| jozefk | but that other one is only for local running from my PC | 19:08 |
| ActionParsnip | jozefk: you can use a symlink ;) | 19:08 |
| ActionParsnip | heroin: what video card? | 19:08 |
| jozefk | coz I have only one IP | 19:08 |
| Schamane | jozefk: then all should run fine? whats the prob, dont you get anything shown? try touch /var/www/index.html after that a blank page should be shown | 19:08 |
| jozefk | ActionParsnip: I'm talking abour virtual host from this page: http://www.debuntu.org/2006/02/22/7-virtual-hosting-using-apache-2 | 19:08 |
| Phuzion | tohuw this is the error I get cp: cannot stat `libflashplayer.so': No such file or directory | 19:08 |
| Pici | jozefk, Schamane: the favicon.ico error can be ignored. Its just that browsers are looking for the little website icon that they would normally show on bookmarks and to the left of the address bar. | 19:09 |

| ActionParsnip | xangua: no, vlc does has a web interface | 19:12 |
| Kingsy101 | i.e if my PC is pretty slow but its running 8.04 fine, would an upgrade to 9.10 hinder performance? | 19:13 |

| apocalypt | Ubuntu 10.4 Alpha is out yeah | 19:15 |
| nperry | Kingsy101: No its not out, but in aplha | 19:15 |
| fluffy | ubottu: spiffy ;D | 19:15 |
| ZykoticK9 | OttifantSir, then open Main Menu in preferences, and "New Item" and for command use something like /home/USERNAME/2ManDVD should work fine | 19:15 |

| learner001 | any idea for that | 19:16 |

| ActionParsnip | ZykoticK9: theres also devede | 19:16 |

| ipatrol | someone? | 19:17 |
| apocalypt | learner001: try to change driver to vesa in xorg | 19:17 |
| ActionParsnip | adamb_: youcould increase the compression of the data sent via vnc, the image will be worse but speed will improve | 19:17 |
| ZykoticK9 | OttifantSir, did you just see ActionParsnip's suggestion? Devede is in the repo and works well. I'm not sure why it would fail to launch from menu? | 19:17 |
| kubanc | what's a good torrent client for xubuntu ? | 19:17 |

This is really frustrating ! Any advise on how to make sure that my system never freezes up? I checked the Gnome and there was not much that was taking up the memory | 19:19 |
| apocalypt | learner001: u should use 10.4 just to test it. as an second installation | 19:19 |
| ActionParsnip | kubanc: if you use a G1 phone use transmission (default in ubuntu) and there is an app to connect to te app and manage torrents (possibly one for iphones, not sure. I am not an isheep) | 19:19 |
| Kharmakov | so what to do ? | 19:19 |

| Slart | learner001: not sure you can | 19:21 |
| ActionParsnip | OttifantSir: i'd run: sudo ln -s ~/2ManDVD/2ManDVD /usr/bin/2mandvd | 19:21 |
| OttifantSir | Slart: QT4 GUI similar to, but IMO better than Devede. | 19:22 |
| ActionParsnip | OttifantSir: you can then use alacarte to make an icon to launch the command: 2mandvd | 19:22 |
| Snille | Phuzion: Weeel... I don't think it will help... :) | 19:22 |
| learner001 | Ok , Thank u 4 all | 19:22 |

| Serpico | hi | 19:22 |
| Slart | OttifantSir: ok.. I can't really see why a launcher wouldn't work if you can run it from a terminal or using alt+f2 ... sure everything is spelled correctly? | 19:22 |
| ActionParsnip | learner001: you can't really downgrade, you can remove the current version, then install the new but you may get issues | 19:22 |
| DASPRiD | hajmola, you could add the mozilla-daily ppa and install thunderbird 3 frm there (but remove the ppa after installation) | 19:23 |
| learner001 | ill do that now apocalypt Thaaaaanks | 19:23 |
| apocalypt | hajmola: it isn't to install. just make a launcher on desktop of the thunderbird file | 19:23 |

| ranjan | links are not opening from evolution any idea how to make it possible in ubuntu 9.10 to make the link operational | 19:25 |
| demonspork | ipatrol, this is the Ubuntu support channel, you are much more likely to find your answer in #windows or in #c | 19:25 |
| ActionParsnip | OttifantSir: you can run: cd /usr/bin; sudo ln -s /path/to/command/you/run | 19:26 |
| ActionParsnip | OttifantSir: will put a link to th binary in /usr/bin which is part of $PATH | 19:26 |
| ipatrol | demonspork: I want to do what that page said, but with Ubuntu instead of Windos | 19:26 |
| Slart | ipatrol: man bash ought to tell you.. I think it's !! but I'm not sure | 19:26 |
| ipatrol | testing... | 19:26 |
| demonspork | ipatrol, then #bash is the command interpreter, so try "man bash" in the console to learn more information or visit the #bash channel to find out | 19:27 |

| ActionParsnip | Phuzion: you just installed too many flash packages and muddled the system | 19:45 |
| antodasana | kitchen, yes it is, I guess is has been updated to latest release. | 19:45 |
| Phuzion | actionparsnip everyone kept suggesting this suggesting that so I had tried so much stuff it makes sense | 19:45 |
| Slart | laeg: well.. when pulseaudio works as it should it has some nice features.. individual volume control for different apps.. moving soudn from one sound card to another etc etc.. but you will survive with plain alsa too.. it's not that bad =) | 19:46 |

| roygbiv | Phuzion why did you have to reinstall? | 19:46 |
| TheCheeze | Om3Ddragon, deluge tends to report bad data to trackers | 19:47 |
| mneptok | Om3Ddragon: i use Deluge. but why are you comparing a Windows-only app to a cross-platform app? | 19:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Om3Ddragon: there is no better, or best | 19:47 |
| Om3Ddragon | but I can get up to 3.5 mb per s/ connected to 20 seeds what do you think about that | 19:47 |
| Om3Ddragon | in deluge | 19:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Om3Ddragon: that depends on the seeders upload speed | 19:47 |
| TheCheeze | Om3Ddragon, that doesnt depend on the client | 19:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Om3Ddragon: you could have 400 seeds all on 56kbps | 19:47 |

| Mike_lifeguard | How can I see a list of users on a system? (including system users like www-data etc) | 19:49 |
| TheCheeze | Om3Ddragon, wow, way to completely disregard everyone. why did you bother asking if you already had your mind made up? just curious because if you use private trackers they may ban you for impropper reports | 19:49 |
| Freedom234 | siaoldd? | 19:49 |
| Phuzion | roygbiv... yeah sitll a bit of a newb to Linux... but I love it... more so than windows... but this time around I partitioned a lil bit of space to use windows when necessary... so I'm dual booting both systems | 19:49 |

| arghh2d2 | metron: did some *find* a problem with the mouse | 19:58 |
| t0rc | ActionParsnip, did that too; the buttons actually register as what they are doing. The stop button registers as volume down. | 19:58 |
| Alan502 | ActionParsnip, Billiard, apocalypt, wicd doesnt support mobile broadband connections. The reason why i want to use network-manager-gnome on kde is because i cannot connect with knetwork manager. I can set up my connection but no matter how many times i click the icon it would not even try to connect. | 19:58 |
| edoceo | !Lucid | 19:58 |
| deltaray | Any recommendations on which java package to use for just general use? | 19:58 |
| ubottu | 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 | 19:58 |
| Eqnox | So 9.04 isn't a LTS ? | 19:58 |
| selffik | Billiard>its not a problem to do... just how to do it? | 19:58 |
| edoceo | Eqnox: nope | 19:58 |
| Slart | Eqnox: you should be able to select any version you want from the ubuntu site, click Alternative download options | 19:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Eqnox: http://releases.ubuntu.com/hardy/ubuntu-8.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso | 19:58 |
| Slart | Eqnox: last LTS was 8.04 | 19:59 |
| roygbiv | selffik, something like this: "cd /newhome; (cd /home; tar cf - .)|tar xf -" will copy the data. then you can edit /etc/fstab to make /newhome into /home | 19:59 |
| ActionParsnip | Eqnox: latest released LTS | 19:59 |
| Billiard | selffik: was that a question? i dont understand what you are saying | 19:59 |
| Alan502 | ActionParsnip, apocalypt Billiard it seems that knetworkmanager is not as stable as network-manager-gnome | 19:59 |
| suigeneris | do we have a tool which gives us height and width of a picture in command line? | 19:59 |
| Eqnox | Ahh tehre we go. Thanks! The alternative thing didn't look like a link for some reason. | 19:59 |
| ActionParsnip | Alan502: wouldnt know, i use neither | 19:59 |
| Billiard | suigeneris: file might do it | 19:59 |

| FCalderon | aergasdf, and are those linux native games or windows games using some cross-platform interpreter (wine, crossover, etc.) | 20:33 |
| ActionParsnip | boscop: provided your monitor AND video card both support it, absolutely | 20:33 |
| FCalderon | ruffus910, I would say 512 Mb minimum, 1 Gb recommended minimum | 20:33 |
| boscop | ActionParsnip: how can I know that? (I don'T want to break anything) | 20:33 |
| rubbs | aergasdf: pasuspender <name of game> in the command line. if this works, then you may need to find out more information as to why your game(s) don't work with pulseAudio | 20:33 |

| laeg | how do i set alsa as my default mixer so i don't have to manually tell every app? no option in prefs >> sound for it | 20:33 |
| Serpico | hi | 20:34 |
| rubbs | aergasdf: I'm not sure, did you upgrade from 9.04? | 20:34 |
| FCalderon | Primo-pinguino, Just right click on the network manager applet and remove everythng in there, you should be left with a dhcp default config | 20:34 |
| ActionParsnip | boscop: I gave you a sample xorg.conf to copy lines from, if it doesnt work, just rename the file in root recovery mode and you can try again | 20:34 |
| aergasdf | rubbs yea | 20:34 |
| laeg | !alsa | 20:34 |
| 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 | 20:34 |

| rubbs | aergasdf: I'm not sure, because Pulse Audio was default for both. What type of sound card do you have? | 20:35 |
| Alan502 | Whats PCM? | 20:35 |
| LjL | Pulse Code Modulation, i suppose | 20:35 |
| FCalderon | Primo-pinguino, sure | 20:35 |
| FCalderon | Primo-pinguino, but avoid using caps | 20:35 |
| maco | Alan502: a silly name for one of the main mixer elements in volume control | 20:35 |
| paschu | Whats the name of the default torrent client in ubuntu? | 20:35 |

| FCalderon | paschu, transmission BT | 20:36 |
| maco | Alan502: its one of the ones that kinda has to be up...like master or front | 20:36 |
| Alan502 | maco, but what exactly is it? cause i just noticed it is on the bottom and that might be causing my audio problems | 20:36 |
| Alan502 | maco, ah ok let me check | 20:36 |

| Arsanerit | Hi. SSH X11 forwarding has stopped working, and I am not sure what I have changed. Running "ssh -X localhost evince /home/gerrit/documenten/CV.pdf" gives "Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key" and then "cannot open display". I tried "xhost +" but this gives '''No protocol specified // xhost: unable to open display ":0"'''. Any ideas? | 20:37 |
| ianyikos | My computer froze when I rebooted it after installing a wireless driver. It works fine, but could it have damaged the operating system if I forced it to turn off since it was frozen? | 20:37 |
| Migi32 | ubuntu is cool :) | 20:37 |
| FCalderon | Primo-pinguino, ok, so let's simplify things... you are connecting via Wi-fi using a USB dongle/device | 20:37 |
| aergasdf | rubbs nvidia | 20:37 |
| VCoolio | laeg: try gstreamer-properties or follow some howto on going to alsa like http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1313253 | 20:37 |
| ianyikos | It's an integrated wireless card. | 20:37 |
| Primo-pinguino | in the registry there is an error... can not receive remote ip address defaulting 10.64.64.64 or something like this | 20:38 |
| ZykoticK9 | Arsanerit, FYI someone last night was having problem with evince and X forwarding as well - not sure they found a solution... good luck | 20:38 |

| Arsanerit | ZykoticK9: It's not evince-related, that just happens to be the program by which I found it. "display" and other programs give the same error. | 20:38 |
| Gwince | ianyikos: Maybe. If the system boots up otherwise fine, and you've got nothing major in /var/log/messages, it should be fine | 20:38 |
| rubbs | aergasdf: could you give me the output of lspci. Use pastebin. | 20:38 |

| ipatrol | mount is saying that mount.vboxsf doesn't exist when I see it on the screen | 20:54 |
| ipatrol | it's a symlink | 20:54 |
| GodfatherofEir1 | Billiard, ah | 20:54 |
| cankoy | guntbert: the content of /sys/bus/usb/devices/X-X/power/level changes from 'on' to 'suspend' | 20:54 |
| mastro | Seveas, he said he did not connect to the internet until he installed the SP3 service pack and an antivirus... so i don't think he got a virus on XP... do you know any other reason that could lead at this behaviour? i made him install ubuntu on 2 partition: a /boot partition (ext2) and a root partition (ext4) + swap. may it be something related to grub2 + ext2? | 20:55 |
| GodfatherofEir1 | Billiard, exactly how would I do that? | 20:55 |
| aergasdf | rubbs how i do that? | 20:55 |
| Seveas | Primo-pinguino, flush all chains with iptables -F <chainname> and remove all non-default chains with iptables -X | 20:55 |
| Rascal911 | http://pastebin.com/m2f7d597e | 20:55 |
| Billiard | GodfatherofEir1: i think its mount --bind /dev /media/asdf/dev | 20:55 |
| guntbert | cankoy: thx, one of these days I'll have to explore the unknown depths of sysfs :-) | 20:55 |
| Seveas | Primo-pinguino, then set the policy of all chains to accept using iptables -P accept chainname | 20:55 |

| GodfatherofEir1 | Billiard, mount point does not exist | 20:56 |
| Chetic | ActionParsnip: That did it! thanks a lot :) | 20:56 |

| rashed2020 | I didn't want to Ctrl-C. I was in screen and wanted Ctrl-A but hit Ctrl-C. So there's no quick fix like Ctrl-L when I want to redraw or something? | 21:07 |

| akahige|away | is ALT+click supported in rdesktop ?? (seems like it used to be, but it sure doesn't work now) | 21:21 |
| squircle | jonaskoelker: (just pointing out the obvious) | 21:21 |
| scuzzy000000 | linuxguy2009: I do, I just wondering what you're comparing it to | 21:21 |
| scuzzy000000 | Ooh | 21:21 |
| scuzzy000000 | nvm | 21:21 |
| jonaskoelker | squircle: okay, so how do I make chromium give back an error message when I try to go to slashdot? | 21:21 |
| jonaskoelker | squircle: without removing my httpd | 21:22 |
| delltaco | never mind :) | 21:22 |
| squircle | jonaskoelker: are you using Apache? | 21:22 |
| nono0 | I'm using ubuntu 9.10. using dell e4300 Wifi was working however after a kernel update it doesn't anymore. I'm using wifi now with the older kernel. But this makes my laptop very buggy... Can anybody help | 21:22 |
| jonaskoelker | squircle: no, lighttpd | 21:22 |
| linuxguy2009 | scuzzy000000: You said that the grub loader is in beta, and I said that its just like the way they integrated pulseaudio, pulseaudio being buggy as smell. | 21:22 |
| scuzzy000000 | linuxguy2009: Yeah I picked up on that. I stopped following PA a while back. Since it's such a bag of (expletive). | 21:23 |
| linuxguy2009 | scuzzy000000: Yep | 21:23 |
| squircle | jonaskoelker: i dunno if lighttpd supports vhosts, but you could make a vhost for slashdot.org and make the error page the index page; but I dunno, I run apache. | 21:23 |
| nono0 | anybody? | 21:23 |
| squircle | !patience | nono0 | 21:23 |
| ubottu | nono0: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. | 21:23 |
| jonaskoelker | squircle: well, I don't want to make port-80-specific hacks | 21:23 |
| linuxguy2009 | nono0: New kernel no good for you? | 21:23 |
| jonaskoelker | squircle: I just want packets for slashdot to die in a fire, giving an error indication back to the app | 21:23 |
| squircle | jonaskoelker: well, for me, it wouldn't be a hack; i'm already running 8 vhosts off my single apache install, but i'm clueless about lighttpd. what you could do is point slashdot.org to some non-routable IP address instead (255.255.255.255 for example) | 21:24 |
| nono0 | linuxguy2009, well all works perfect with the new kernel except wifi. Besides the wifi worked before with other kernels only since latest update all of the 31 version kernels won't work... but the ?28? I think work | 21:24 |
| nono0 | linuxguy2009 this is a dell e4300 all drivers should work out of the box | 21:25 |
| _ope_ | can anyone tell me why i get this error when X windows starts open /dev/fb0: No such file or directory | 21:25 |
| linuxguy2009 | nono0: When grub comes up push whatever button gets you the grub menu like F5, F8, Esc whatever it is I dont remember offhand. There will be a choice of kernels. The newest one and the last one that worked. Pick the last one that worked the system will boot up, remove the new kernel. | 21:25 |
| boza | guys does anyone knows where can i find a free tutorial video's for ubuntu ? | 21:26 |

| nono0 | linuxguy2009 the kernels that worked before don't work any more | 21:26 |

| ashleigh | anyone know how to add a resolution to the list of possible resolutions? i want to add 1280x1024 but it | 21:26 |
| ashleigh | its not in telist. | 21:27 |
| linuxguy2009 | nono0: If you need a specific version of kernel you can check packages.ubuntu.com and download the specific one you need and install with gdebi or dpkg or whatever floats your boat. Just be sure to remove any newer ones to boot from that specific kernel automatically at boot. | 21:27 |
| System-7 | ashleigh edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 21:27 |
| ashleigh | thanks, i don't have that file though | 21:27 |
| linuxguy2009 | nono0: So basically your install is all fudged up? | 21:27 |
| ashleigh | should i make it? | 21:27 |
| E1leen | ashleigh: /etc/X11/xorg.conf add this to the modeline "1280x1024" | 21:27 |

| linuxguy2009 | asdfa: Umm we are in a public room here. Did you forget that? | 21:52 |
| linuxguy2009 | asdfa: Yeah Im totally that guy. | 21:52 |
| Arsanerit | ^workman^: Yes, I do, but only with evince (out of the 5 or so applications that I tested) | 21:52 |
| Arsanerit | ^workman^: with other applications, the X11 forwarding works. | 21:53 |
| blazon | config issue | 21:53 |
| blazon | :P | 21:53 |
| ^workman^ | Arsanerit: k, let me try that here | 21:53 |
| blazon | doubble check your work | 21:53 |
| SETKEH | Hmm I wander what ubuntu changed in there networking 9.04 taking five mins to load webpage sometimes | 21:53 |
| linuxguy2009 | SETKEH: You mean 9.10 the new release? | 21:54 |
| ^workman^ | Arsanerit: hmm, works fine forme | 21:54 |
| ^workman^ | Arsanerit: hmm, works fine for me | 21:54 |
| asdfa | linuxguy2009 deleated pulseaudio.... what packed do i have to install now? | 21:54 |
| Arsanerit | ^workman^: It worked before, also with evince, and it works from another machine. I'm completely confused because my problem seems to keep changing as I'm trying to investigate it. | 21:54 |
| mistergibson | anyone work with ebox before - ebox channel is dead ... crickets and bots | 21:54 |
| linuxguy2009 | asdfa: I already told you. Scroll up. | 21:54 |
| mistergibson | ? | 21:54 |
| PeturI | how can i disable that annoying "boot image"-ubuntu-logo in ubuntu 9.10... | 21:54 |
| PeturI | ?? | 21:54 |
| SETKEH | linuxguy2009: Yep sorry lol silly me | 21:54 |
| michele_ | italiano | 21:54 |
| linuxguy2009 | SETKEH: Well in laymans terms 9.10 is pretty much half baked IMO. | 21:55 |
| DJones | !it | michele_ | 21:55 |
| ubottu | michele_: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) | 21:55 |
| ^workman^ | Arsanerit: well, that's really gonna make it hard to troubleshoot. | 21:55 |
| ^workman^ | !ot | mistergibson | 21:55 |
| ubottu | mistergibson: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 21:55 |
| asdfa | linuxguy2009 there are plenty of also packets... is there some methapacked i need? | 21:55 |
| SETKEH | linuxguy2009: Ahh might downgrade then | 21:55 |
| Seito | guys! does anybody know how to make multimedia keys on apple wireless keyboard work on jaunty? | 21:55 |
| linuxguy2009 | SETKEH: You woudnt be the first/only one to do so. hehe | 21:56 |
| Arsanerit | ^workman^: Yes, it is. It's also frustating if problems disappear without finding the cause. Earlier tonight 'ssh -X localhost <anything>' failed to do X11 forwarding with some error message, during my attempts to investigate this it stopped giving errors. Very frustating. | 21:56 |
| Jezekus | Why the script at @reboot in crontab can't determine ip adress of the PC? | 21:56 |
| linuxguy2009 | SETKEH: There is a Firefox fix when you set a custom specificed DNS server. | 21:56 |
| linuxguy2009 | SETKEH: No clue at all why its needed. | 21:56 |
| blazon | Jezekus can you be more specific? | 21:57 |
| iceroot | Jezekus: wifi? | 21:57 |
| blazon | havce you looked through error logs? | 21:57 |
| asdfa | dont leave me hanging now^^ | 21:57 |
| SETKEH | linuxguy2009: If I sit in lounge room it gos ok but in the bedroom it sux but win7 works wikkid | 21:57 |
| Gabs | aha I was disconnected - wondered why it went so quiet in here | 21:57 |
| ^workman^ | Arsanerit: what does /var/log/secure show on remote host, when you get an error? have you tried running a remote host in debug mode for awhile? | 21:57 |
| Jezekus | blazon: yes I have script which greps out IP of the PC from ifconfig and mail it to me, but when I run it using crontab IP field is blank | 21:58 |
| linuxguy2009 | Seito: System-> Preferences->Keyboard shortcuts. Try manually setting them up. | 21:58 |
| Jezekus | iceroot: no metal | 21:58 |
| iceroot | Jezekus: what? | 21:58 |
| SETKEH | linuxguy2009: might try the ff fix lol | 21:58 |
| linuxguy2009 | SETKEH: Yeah I know what you mean. 9.10 is half baked. | 21:58 |
| Seito | <linuxguy2009> ok, but what will be then with my on-board keyboard (on laptop). is there other way of setting/remapping keys? | 21:59 |
| Jezekus | iceroot: you asked if it's wifi, so saying it's metalic ethernet (100Mbit) | 21:59 |
| ^workman^ | Arsanerit: run sshd on the host that is giving you flack, and pipe the debug output to tee to log it. Then watch over a period of time to see what's happening | 21:59 |
| SETKEH | linuxguy2009: Hmm that's very un ubuntu like lol | 21:59 |
| iceroot | Jezekus: wired, you mean | 21:59 |
| Gabs | well thanks for trying to help all. gotta go. | 21:59 |
| linuxguy2009 | Seito: Does your onboard keyboard have the same keys? | 21:59 |
| iceroot | Jezekus: using dhcp? or static ip? if using dhcp, at @reboot there should be no adresse, because eth is coming up later with dhcp | 22:00 |
| Jezekus | iceroot: wired, I wanted to be specific, sorry | 22:00 |
| linuxguy2009 | Seito: Just try it, they will either work or not. | 22:00 |
| Seito | <linuxguy2009>no, it's different. my laptop is hp | 22:00 |
| Rascal911 | i think I've got a semi-serious problem with kernel (or lack of) it seems to do this with anything I try and install etc -- http://pastebin.com/m435963d9 | 22:00 |
| Arsanerit | ^workman^: I have no root-access on the server (ubuntu karmic koala) at which I am trying to run evince and get it forwarded to my place (kubuntu hardy, didn't upgrade yet because I don't like the new KDE) | 22:00 |
| Jezekus | iceroot: using DHCP, but I added sleep 600s but it didn't help | 22:00 |
| chelz | is there any way to download updates but not install them? just so i don't have to download them later but i don't want to install them now | 22:00 |
| iceroot | Jezekus: maybe use ifup in your script before | 22:01 |
| Jezekus | iceroot: in loop ok, I'll try | 22:01 |
| linuxguy2009 | Rascal911: Checked for broken packages? | 22:01 |
| Slart | chelz: have a look at some of the apt-proxy stuff available | 22:02 |
| iceroot | chelz: -d | 22:02 |
| iceroot | chelz: man apt-get | 22:02 |
| Seito | <linuxguy2009>in fact I press "fn+f10" which ment to be volume down button but it puts into shortcut only f10 key | 22:02 |
| chelz | iceroot: awesome! ty | 22:03 |
| linuxguy2009 | Seito: Did you press them at the same time? | 22:03 |
| Seito | <linuxguy2009>hid-apple module loaded | 22:03 |
| blazon | Seito is your keyboard mapped properly? | 22:03 |
| Rascal911 | linuxguy2009, yeah fixed | 22:03 |
| Seito | <linuxguy2009>yes | 22:03 |
| mkquist_ | is 9.10 still in beta? | 22:04 |
| blazon | no | 22:04 |
| lzrdking | but its buggy | 22:04 |
| linuxguy2009 | Rascal911: Problem solved? Good to go? | 22:04 |
| mkquist_ | didnt think so | 22:04 |
| ruffus910 | 9.10 is a stable release, but in name only | 22:04 |
| asdfa | mkquist dont update!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | 22:04 |
| iceroot | mkquist_: no | 22:04 |
| blazon | i have 9.10 server running a huge load | 22:04 |
| Seito | <blazon>seems to be yes, because other keys working properly and in fact I'm writing using it | 22:04 |
| blazon | with 0 problems | 22:04 |
| lzrdking | yeah, stay with jaunty | 22:04 |
| asdfa | 9.10 REALY sucks | 22:04 |
| blazon | Seito but dose your fn key function | 22:04 |
| mistergibson | seems to work well here | 22:04 |
| linuxguy2009 | asdfa: I agree. | 22:04 |
| Seito | <blazon>nope | 22:05 |
| ruffus910 | 9.10 is quite bad | 22:05 |
| ruffus910 | im gonna wait till 10.04 | 22:05 |
| linuxguy2009 | I dont like 9.10 one bit. | 22:05 |
| lzrdking | there is no easy way to go back, either | 22:05 |
| mkquist_ | asdfa: too late for that | 22:05 |
| ruffus910 | cuz its a LTS | 22:05 |
| mkquist_ | lotsof problems huh | 22:05 |
| Rascal911 | linuxguy2009, yes, but I still have a problem with vbox which i have taken up with the guys in that channel... Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908) | 22:05 |
| Rascal911 | Please install the virtualbox-ose-source package. | 22:05 |
| ^workman^ | arsanerit: try ssh -v1-4 for debug on the client side then | 22:05 |
| linuxguy2009 | 10.04 LTS better be good and stable by 10.04.1 or Im jumping ship for another distro. | 22:06 |
| pankaj | hello | 22:06 |
| asdfa | mkquist i recommend waiting till 10.4 and install 9.4 then | 22:06 |
| pankaj | a quick urgent question: how do i become root in ubuntu? | 22:06 |
| ruffus910 | linixguy: I agree if it doesnt work, im heading towards Fedora | 22:06 |
| linuxguy2009 | Rascal911: Simply reinstall vbox and itll install the kernel stuff. | 22:06 |
| Rascal911 | pankaj, sudo su | 22:06 |
| pankaj | thanks | 22:06 |
| oorah | is it possible to burn a .rar file to a disc to be bootable? | 22:06 |
| mkquist_ | like i said little late | 22:06 |
| TheCheeze | !root pankaj | 22:06 |
| Rascal911 | linuxguy2009, I've done that | 22:06 |
| blazon | Ubuntu is too bleeding edge, there life cycle is way to short... | 22:06 |
| blekos | hello, i am not allowd to installed any applications through software center how can i make/grant my user admin privileges? | 22:06 |
| blazon | you should have known that 10 version ago | 22:07 |
| linuxguy2009 | Rascal911: Did you install from repo or download? | 22:07 |
| TheCheeze | !root | pankaj | 22:07 |
| ubottu | pankaj: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 22:07 |
| Rascal911 | linuxguy2009, sudo aptitude remove virtualbox-ose | 22:07 |
| ikonia | blazon: put him in the admin group | 22:07 |
| Rascal911 | linuxguy2009, repo | 22:07 |
| Seito | <blazon>do you think if fn key will work properly then multimedia keys will work? but then how to make it work (fn key)? | 22:07 |
| ae86-drifter | im stuck at 0% [Connecting to au.archive.ubuntu.com (32.1.3.136)]!!! | 22:07 |
| Fizix | blazon, for people where that's a problem, they do offer LTS, Long-Term, uhh, Something. I think they support those versions for 3 years | 22:07 |
| linuxguy2009 | Rascal911: One in the downloads are newer and usually much better. Plus they have USB support. | 22:07 |
| linuxguy2009 | LTS are supported for 2 years | 22:07 |
| TheCheeze | oorah, with rar being a proprietary format, it is not able to be "booted to" | 22:07 |
| TheCheeze | oorah, it is just a container | 22:08 |
| blazon | Fizix, 3 years is still insanley short, compared to other enterprise distro's | 22:08 |
| oorah | TheCheeze, thanks | 22:08 |
| blazon | like CentOS | 22:08 |
| laclasse | linuxguy2009, nope | 22:08 |
| ae86-drifter | hi, when i try and apt-get upgrade or even install something i get stuck at 0% [Connecting to au.archive.ubuntu.com (32.1.3.136)] | 22:08 |
| laclasse | LTS is 3 years desktop, 5 years server | 22:08 |
| ruffus910 | im excited for the LTS | 22:08 |
| Jezekus | iceroot: maybe I ask stupid but how to use ifup in script? | 22:08 |
| ae86-drifter | i have 64 bit karmic server edition | 22:08 |
| linuxguy2009 | I read somewhere that once 10.04 comes out there will be no more put into 8.04. | 22:08 |
| iceroot | Jezekus: ifup eth0 | 22:08 |
| oorah | TheCheeze, how do i unrar? | 22:09 |
| blazon | ifup <nic> | 22:09 |
| ikonia | linuxguy2009: nothing is really put into 8.04 now apart from bug fixes, however it will still be supported for years after 10.04 is released | 22:09 |
| iceroot | oorah: unrar file | 22:09 |
| laclasse | linuxguy2009, no true either. When 10.04 comes out, 8.04 will have one more year of Desktop support, 3 more of server support | 22:09 |
| linuxguy2009 | oorah: restricted extras installed and then use fileroller | 22:09 |
| TheCheeze | oorah, sudo apt-get unrar will make package manager able to unrar | 22:09 |
| ae86-drifter | when 11.04 comes out 8.04 will be unsupported | 22:09 |
| Jezekus | iceroot: I thought it returns something but it writes an ughly sentence :-( so what with it? | 22:09 |
| iceroot | Jezekus: post it on pastebin | 22:10 |
| laclasse | its easy: one new release of Ubuntu every 6 months, one new LTS (Long Term Support) every 2 years, supported for 3/5 years each. Normal releases are supported for 18 months | 22:10 |
| Jezekus | ok | 22:10 |
| ae86-drifter | ie 8.04 > 11.04 = 3yrs | 22:10 |
| ruffus910 | laclasse: its easy, but very short | 22:10 |
| oorah | laclasse, i thought normal release support ended when the new release launches | 22:10 |
| ruffus910 | especially for people who dont code or tweak | 22:10 |
| laclasse | ruffus910, the 18 months is short, or 3 years desktop ? | 22:10 |
| ruffus910 | 6 months between releases is short | 22:11 |
| Jezekus | iceroot: http://pastebin.org/62894 | 22:11 |
| laclasse | oorah, nope | 22:11 |
| linuxguy2009 | Yeah but the only problem is that Ubuntu keeps spitting out new broken releases. | 22:11 |
| arghh2d2 | wow mafmatics! | 22:11 |
| lzrdking | 3 years is short | 22:11 |
| oorah | TheCheeze, how do i know what the name of the folder is that is needed to unrar? | 22:11 |
| lzrdking | 18 months is shorter | 22:11 |
| ruffus910 | they push too much new stuff in, but dont fix the old stuff | 22:11 |
| ruffus910 | the LTS has a good cycle | 22:11 |
| linuxguy2009 | lzrdking: Well if you want to wait longer to update then go Windows and wait 5 years. | 22:12 |
| arghh2d2 | ruffus910: yeah, yes what you said, correct | 22:12 |
| linuxguy2009 | hehe | 22:12 |
| lzrdking | look at MS, they just stopped supporting XP after nearly 10 years | 22:12 |
| laclasse | ruffus910, yeah sure, what canonical tried to do is to balance between new technology releases (every 6 months) and support an active desktop community, as well as Enterprise with a release every 2 years supported for 3/5 | 22:12 |
| iceroot | Jezekus: ifup eth0 && the next command | 22:12 |
| laclasse | when a distro is older than 6 months it feels 'old' on the desktop | 22:12 |
| ohday | _A lot_ of work needs to be done with BCM | 22:12 |
| Mnemonic^ | Does anyone know what editor/tool to program C++ in for Linux | 22:12 |
| ruffus910 | yes, im glad theyre innovating, but every time a new one comes out, the same stuff is broken | 22:12 |
| * lzrdking us using slackware 2.0 | 22:12 | |
| iceroot | Jezekus: command1 && command2 || command 3 command2 will run if command1 was successfull, else command3 will be run | 22:12 |
| iceroot | Mnemonic^: vim | 22:13 |
| oorah | how do i find the name of a folder? for commands i mean | 22:13 |
| TheCheeze | oorah, depends on the rar. but you usually just pull everything out of it | 22:13 |
| mkquist_ | why is 9.10 using a betaof grub? | 22:13 |
| ruffus910 | the LTS's are the releases that are going to bring people into the fold | 22:13 |
| lzrdking | actually, i started on Slackware, i probably still have the HDD somewhere | 22:13 |
| linuxguy2009 | ruffus910: I highly agree and cant wait for 10.04 LTS Im sticking with it for the whole 2 years this time. | 22:13 |
| Mnemonic^ | iceroot, Is there no smart editor to suggest the right commands and stuff? | 22:13 |
| iceroot | Mnemonic^: vim | 22:13 |
| Mnemonic^ | iceroot, vim does not suggest anything | 22:14 |
| iceroot | Mnemonic^: but maybe you want something like kdevelop or code::blocks | 22:14 |
| ruffus910 | problem is, alot of people who want to be "just users" are updating every six months and are getting put off | 22:14 |
| blazon | IDE's are shit anyway | 22:14 |
| blazon | just use a text editor | 22:14 |
| iceroot | Mnemonic^: of course, vim can do auto-complete and many many many many many many things more | 22:14 |
| ruffus910 | I want things to just work | 22:14 |
| Mnemonic^ | iceroot, yes that was what I was looking fore. | 22:14 |
| ruffus910 | thats why im waiting for 10.04 | 22:14 |
| ruffus910 | im learning code now | 22:15 |
| Mnemonic^ | iceroot, how do you use autocomplete in vim? | 22:15 |
| Seito | <blazon>,<linuxguy2009> any ideas where to dig? | 22:15 |
| Amivit | I have an unusual question. I got myself a "My Passport" from Western digital, which contains a VCD (virtual cd-drive) to mount their software called Smartware. Is there any way to edit this normally only read-notwritable drive so I can put custom software on it? Somewhat like you could with the u3 cruzer? | 22:15 |
| ruffus910 | but im not a programmer yet | 22:15 |
| ohday | ruffus910, Want to become one? | 22:15 |
| linuxguy2009 | Im in a crappy position with my Dell Inspiron Mini 10v netbook. 8.04.3 is too old to run the sound and wireless. 9.04 runs perfect. 9.10 is awful on everything. 10.04 LTS aint out yet. | 22:15 |
| Amivit | Reason being is because I want truecrypt on that VCD but have no idea on how to modify that VCD. | 22:15 |
| iceroot | Mnemonic^: http://www.linux.org/docs/ldp/howto/C-editing-with-VIM-HOWTO/auto-complete.html | 22:15 |
| Mnemonic^ | iceroot, Thanks | 22:15 |
| Tiders | In Karmic... How come my speakers "pop" when a sound is made sometimes | 22:15 |
| ruffus910 | ohday: I would like to have programmer skills | 22:16 |
| ruffus910 | ohaday: as for making it my profession... eh.. | 22:16 |
| linuxguy2009 | Tiders: Probably pulseaudio. It sucks big time/ | 22:16 |
| Tiders | linuxguy2009, Any fixes or workarounds? | 22:16 |
| blazon | a new sound card | 22:16 |
| blazon | :P | 22:16 |
| lzrdking | stop using pulseaudio | 22:16 |
| ruffus910 | ohday: programmer skills would let me get the most out of Linux. patience for compiling too. | 22:17 |
| linuxguy2009 | Tiders: remove pulseaudio and use alsamixer CLI or gnome-alsamixer as replacements for the loss of the panel sound volume control that you will lose. Sucks I know. | 22:17 |
| iceroot | Mnemonic^: hm there are better ways then descriped in that link | 22:17 |
| Scunizi | Tiders: that was pretty much a no help statement.. pulseaudio works for lots of people.. not sure how to do it but you should verify that the right driver for your sound card is being used.. | 22:17 |
| iceroot | Mnemonic^: try some searching too, to see how much power vim has | 22:17 |
| lzrdking | control panel in karmic sucks, too, jaunty's was better; let you pick what sound system to use | 22:18 |
| Mnemonic^ | iceroot, ok | 22:18 |
| ae86-drifter | what would be the minimum i need to install on my server edition 9.10 to enable X11 forwarding? | 22:18 |
| linuxguy2009 | Scunizi: Pulseaudio doesnt work for anyone I know. hehe | 22:18 |
| iceroot | Mnemonic^: there is also a video-collection for using vim, called vum tutor. its great to see the power of vim explained in a video | 22:18 |
| mkquist_ | has anyone got 9.10 working? | 22:18 |
| ruffus910 | What I like about LTS is that they are usually big-fix focused | 22:18 |
| SwedeMike | mkquist_: yes. | 22:18 |
| mkquist_ | ok | 22:18 |
| chelz | ae86-drifter: sudo apt-get install xauth | 22:19 |

| Slart | linuxguy2009: sorry for breaking your perfect score ;) | 22:19 |
| linuxguy2009 | ruffus910: Yeah LTS point releases are awsome. Its like getting a service pack updated version. | 22:19 |
| ohday | ruffus910, This is your only motivation? interesting, a pure linux hobbyist. | 22:19 |
| ae86-drifter | chelz, thanks | 22:19 |

| Slart | ae86-drifter: but if all you need to do is edit files.. why not use nfs or sshfs to get to the files directly from your desktop.. | 22:22 |
| chelz | ae86-drifter: vim and emacs are the best editors | 22:23 |
| BluesKaj | eremite, yeah dump pulseaudio , try your games etc without it , if it's worse then reinstall ,but mostlikely PA is the culprit especially if you have a pci soundcard | 22:23 |
| chelz | Slart: that's a good idea. ae86-drifter sshfs is really nice. | 22:23 |
| lzrdking | if PA is so bad, why is in there? | 22:23 |
| linuxguy2009 | I know not everyone will agree that I tell folks to remove pulse but its the only solution to a broken system right now. | 22:23 |
| ae86-drifter | oh ok sshfs... that sounds good, i know there are many possible solutions, i will research them, thanks very much for suggestions | 22:23 |
| Slart | lzrdking: because it offers some nice features.. and it actually work for some people out there | 22:23 |
| iceroot | ae86-drifter: do the right way, learn vim | 22:24 |
| Slart | *s | 22:24 |
| BluesKaj | lzrdking, it works on some onboard cards | 22:24 |
| lzrdking | slart, what nice features? | 22:24 |
| eremite | Karmic is a broken system. Too many bugs. I might have to switch to another distro like Fedora or even Windows 7 until all of these bugs are fixed. | 22:24 |
| linuxguy2009 | ALSA is so much better | 22:24 |
| lzrdking | BluesKaj: the ones ALSA or OSS do not work on? | 22:24 |
| ae86-drifter | vim, sshfs, differences...advantages? | 22:24 |
| raul_ | iceroot I restarted it, but it still doesn't work | 22:24 |
| kain_ | hi all, how do i mount a partition permanently with the fstab file? | 22:24 |
| linuxguy2009 | eremite: Many agree with you and are thinking the same. Your not alone. | 22:24 |
| iceroot | raul_: how you installed it? | 22:24 |
| Slart | lzrdking: separate volume controls for different apps.. ability to move sound from one sound card to another.. and I think the major thing is that it can be transported over network.. great for thin clients and such | 22:25 |
| maco | linuxguy2009: its not like alsa goes away when you use pulse. you still need a driver :P | 22:25 |
| lzrdking | eremite: try 9.04 | 22:25 |
| morphix | Can someone assist me, i currently have linux software raid-1 on 2 drives and i have 5 partitions, i need to (technically six, if you class the 4th 'extended' partition). | 22:25 |
| raul_ | iceroot I downloaded the file deb from Adobe's website, | 22:25 |
| morphix | I need to resize all of the partitions to make them larger | 22:25 |
| linuxguy2009 | maco: Are you not aware of the volume control removal that they did in karmic and the whole pulseaudio crap? | 22:25 |
| hero_ | galera | 22:25 |
| iceroot | raul_: remove it and use sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree | 22:25 |
| hero_ | tem algum br ai: | 22:25 |
| BluesKaj | lzrdking, alsa and PA aren't mutually exclusive , PA is a sound server and alsa is a kernel source driver and soundserver as well | 22:25 |
| morphix | and they use ext3 except for 1 which is swap | 22:25 |
| === shawn__ is now known as DSF | ||
| iceroot | raul_: use the one from the repos | 22:26 |
| Slart | linuxguy2009: just fyi.. pulseaudio is a layer above alsa.. they are not alternatives | 22:26 |
| morphix | can someone assist me. | 22:26 |
| linuxguy2009 | maco: Like I said straight ALSA is so much better. | 22:26 |
| maco | linuxguy2009: since i live with the audio maintainer, yes | 22:26 |
| Jezekus | iceroot: ok so problem still remains :-( i have ifup %% parsing && break || sleep 20s but email is empty when rebooted. It's ok when runned after boot | 22:26 |

| morpeth | I have a question; when I change something (say, listening port) in sshd_config the changes don't apply when I restart the service (or restart the machine). Anyone have any idea why this might be? | 22:26 |
| maco | lzrdking: pulse is an alternative to esound | 22:26 |
| BluesKaj | lzrdking, PA needs a kernel source driver to work | 22:26 |
| maco | linuxguy2009: that's highly variable by hardware and usecase | 22:26 |
| Jezekus | iceroot: typo %% should be && | 22:26 |
| lzrdking | maco: but esound works:0 | 22:26 |
| lzrdking | :) | 22:26 |
| raul_ | could tell me how to remove it? | 22:26 |
| maco | lzrdking: but gnome has switched to pulse | 22:26 |
| raul_ | iceroot could tell me how to remove it? | 22:26 |
| Slart | lzrdking: I don't think esound has the network features that pulseaudio has.. not sure though.. haven't used esound that much | 22:27 |
| iceroot | Jezekus: && break || sleep? what | 22:27 |
| linuxguy2009 | I dont remeber seeing a gnome-esoundmixer hehe | 22:27 |
| mattgyver | When I accidently click conky on 9.10 it closes, does anyone know how to fix that? | 22:27 |

| Jezekus | iceroot: I run it in while loop | 22:27 |

| lzrdking | Amivit: rm is enough for "normal people" | 22:29 |
| Slart | Amivit: yes | 22:29 |
| Oblat | Hi is there another application similar to svn up? | 22:29 |
| chelz | Amivit: one pass random and one pass zeroes. look into shred. | 22:29 |
| LjL | Amivit: that's not very on-topic for this channel, try #ubuntu-offtopic or ##security | 22:30 |
| lzrdking | i mean, who is going to forensiccally scan a disk to begin with? | 22:30 |
| iceroot | Jezekus: should be ifup && parsing; sending mail with success message || sending message with fail message | 22:30 |
| lzrdking | forensically | 22:30 |
| iceroot | Oblat: you want another svn client? or another version-client? | 22:31 |
| Oblat | Svn up is not working for me | 22:31 |
| iceroot | Oblat: version-system i mean | 22:31 |
| Amivit | Thanks for the reply, sorry for being off-topic! I'll stick with single-pass then :) | 22:31 |
| LjL | Amivit: as for tools to secure erase data on ubuntu, look into "shred" (installed by default) and the packages "wipe" and "secure-delete". read the man-pages carefully, especially 'wipe' about journalling filesystems | 22:31 |
| iceroot | !doesntwork | Oblat | 22:31 |
| ubottu | Oblat: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. | 22:31 |
| lzrdking | i don't work | 22:31 |

| Jezekus | iceroot: Why I can't check in a loop until there is one? | 22:32 |
| Oblat | svn: This client is too old to work with working copy 'npc'. You need to get a newer Subversion client, or to downgrade this working copy. See http://subversion.tigris.org/faq.html#working-copy-format-change for details. | 22:32 |

| lzrdking | can anyone point me to a document detailing setting up a dell AIO scanner in jaunty? | 22:33 |
| Slart | surlo: using wine? | 22:33 |
| iceroot | Jezekus: ifup eth0 is waiting until there is an ip or wait while its failing | 22:34 |
| surlo | Slart: yeah I used wine | 22:34 |
| ae86-drifter | i dont like vim, i prefer nano | 22:34 |
| iceroot | !xsane | lzrdking | 22:34 |

| iceroot | ae86-drifter: then use nano | 22:34 |
| Slart | surlo: you can ask in #winehq or check the application database.. http://appdb.winehq.org | 22:34 |
| chelz | surlo: there should be an icon on your desktop | 22:34 |
| Jezekus | iceroot: there is dhcp and sometimes it's horibly slow so IP will come but nobody knows how fast | 22:34 |
| iceroot | ae86-drifter: or learn vim, then you dont like nano any more | 22:34 |
| Oblat | Is there another svn for ubuntu? | 22:34 |
| Oblat | similar to svn up | 22:34 |
| lzrdking | xsane sounds like a starting place, thanks | 22:34 |
| Slart | surlo: the folder is probably in ~/.wine/drive_c/ something | 22:34 |
| iceroot | Jezekus: and ifup is waiting | 22:35 |
| chelz | surlo: or look in Application -> Wine -> Programs | 22:35 |
| ae86-drifter | has vim got more features... | 22:35 |
| ikonia | Oblat: svn up is a command | 22:35 |
| ZykoticK9 | surlo, check in ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files | 22:35 |
| Jezekus | iceroot: oh didn't know that | 22:35 |
| Oblat | I mean something that does something similar to the command | 22:35 |
| iceroot | ae86-drifter: vim is the most powerfill editor in the world (together with emacs) | 22:35 |
| ae86-drifter | i just wish nano had a line no indication | 22:35 |
| Oblat | something simple for ubuntu | 22:35 |
| ikonia | Oblat: svn is a command/toolset - something similar wouldn't be svn | 22:35 |
| chelz | ae86-drifter: vim and emacs are incredibly powerful editors but with steep learning curves. the average user needing a terminal editor would probably stick with nano. learning vim or emacs is a good thing to do tho. | 22:35 |
| ikonia | Oblat: there is cvs - but that's not compatible with svn repos, only cvs repos | 22:35 |
| iceroot | Oblat: again, #svn | 22:36 |

| Oblat | iceroot that channel is dead | 22:36 |

| ae86-drifter | im using it to write php | 22:36 |
| iceroot | raul_: what ubuntu-version? | 22:36 |
| Oblat | i already tried by doing apt-get upgrade and update | 22:36 |
| raul_ | iceroot 8.10 | 22:37 |
| chelz | ae86-drifter: you might try asking some people you already know who are writing php on linux to see what editors they use. a gui editor might be a lot easier for you. | 22:37 |
| iceroot | raul_: hm | 22:37 |
| ikonia | Oblat: apt-get is nothing to do with subversion, what problem are you having ? | 22:37 |

| wrb1234 | ah okay, slart i just started an unmanaged vps and need to figure out what to do to get iptables up and secure my stuff | 22:39 |

| Oblat | iceroot, if you don't want to help me you can just ignore me | 22:44 |
| ikonia | Oblat: no, you need to read up on svn and have a little patience in #subversion | 22:44 |
| iceroot | Oblat: i helped you already. i said use svn co | 22:44 |

| ikonia | hdtdi: I certainly do | 22:44 |
| iceroot | Oblat: but its the solution | 22:45 |
| trism | Oblat: svn co http://svn.eathena.ws/svn/ea/trunk/ | 22:45 |
| wrb1234 | sudo apt-get install iptables then? that wouldnt hurt anything? | 22:45 |
| ikonia | Oblat: you need to set up your svn environment, ask your friend if he has it working | 22:45 |
| pepso | hi. Unetbootin is showing 9.4live in ubuntu installation. Is there is any difference in live or loaded by ubuntu disk. I want to dual boot with xp. Xp is preinstalled. can any one help me plz | 22:45 |
| Oblat | thank you trism | 22:45 |
| trism | Oblat: I think iceroot is correct, your problem seems to be you're trying to update a svn working copy that was checked out with a newer version of the subversion client | 22:45 |
| iceroot | Oblat: ??? i tld you 10 times to use svn co | 22:45 |
| ae86-drifter | hmm do i run apt-get install sshfs? on the client or server? | 22:45 |
| Oblat | trism was more specific | 22:46 |
| Slart | wrb1234: I have no idea what kind of setup you have.. you will probably need to reboot.. not sure what it will do to your servers network stuff | 22:46 |
| hdtdi | ikonia, i just wanted to say i got my problem :) i went into init 1 and deleted this .vgs(whatever) and then run the quotaon command and voalq :) after reboot everything was fine | 22:46 |
| iceroot | Oblat: and you say thx to trism because he tolds you to use svn co? | 22:46 |
| lzrdking | i hope the lexmark backend will work :) | 22:46 |
| Oblat | i didn't understand what you meant by "use svn co" | 22:46 |
| ikonia | hdtdi: now that is great news, well done | 22:46 |

| ubottu | Tiders: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors.

| lzrdking | WOAH! score a billion for ubuntu/linux. My A920 scanner just WORKED i didn't need to install or configure anything! well, i did have to turn it on... | 22:58 |
| Tiders | What is an available "Publisher" type program for Ubuntu | 22:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Tiders: scribus | 22:58 |
| Tiders | ActionParsnip, Thanks | 22:58 |
| LjL | Tiders: there aren't many to begin with. there are various publishing programs that aren't really GUI-based, since that's the trend in the Unix world | 22:58 |
| LjL | but yeah, scribus | 22:59 |
| lzrdking | i tried to install xsane and it told me it was already the newest version, so i started it and it started working | 22:59 |
| fornext | ActionParsnip, first I have to say, It is not a xorg running, but a Xephyre. Badly it is not using DRI. | 22:59 |
| lzrdking | s/working/scanning | 22:59 |
| LjL | Tiders: another is cenon.app | 23:00 |

| ActionParsnip | lejonmanen: try renaming its config folder | 23:01 |

| xtasy | mine keeps disconnecting was wondering if it is just me | 23:02 |
| ZykoticK9 | xtasy, the one in the repo is old and doesn't work get the new version for the googlecode page | 23:02 |

| ActionParsnip | lzrdking: awesome | 23:04 |
| ActionParsnip | matju: has it been in a windows system? | 23:04 |
| matju | ActionParsnip: the card...? certainly not since the last time it automounted. why? | 23:04 |

| ikonia | LetsGo67: slow down would suggest something along the lines of a memory leak, or a hardware error, have you looked at what system resources are in use when it's quick and then when it's slow (something like top would do) | 23:24 |
| matju | ActionParsnip,Billiard: what's /dev/sr0 supposed to be ? | 23:25 |
| LetsGo67 | Ikonia: the issue here is that Ubuntu is NOT detecting the fan. | 23:25 |
| ikonia | LetsGo67: did you see you where using an acer device ? | 23:25 |
| rocdoc | matju: that is your first optical drive | 23:25 |
| Billiard | matju: cddrive probably | 23:25 |
| mike998 | sr = recordable device? | 23:25 |
| hyperstream | omg, guys i went to Display and setup a second monitor and it went to, two black screens, and i hit alt tab then enter for some unknown reason, i think its make it the Active and Default setting, how can i reconfigure this setting or revert back to the old one that was working, at current i cannot boot up into X, only access terminals ;/ | 23:25 |
| matju | rocdoc,Billiard: thanks | 23:25 |
| flupke | hi, firefox hangs from time to time when looking at pages with flash. It's sound related and I used to wrap firefox with padsp to workaround that, but it's not working anymore on 9.10, how can I fix this issue ? | 23:26 |
| hyperstream | ive been trying to reconfigure X, Xorg -configure , dpkg-reconfigure xorg-server, still nothing | 23:26 |
| Billiard | flupke: which flashplugin did you install? | 23:26 |
| Ivshti | Do you know how to automatically generate /usr/share/applications/defaults.list | 23:26 |
| flupke | Billiard, flashplugin-nonfree | 23:26 |
| hyperstream | where can i find the configure file for the system->pref->display ? | 23:27 |
| ZykoticK9 | hyperstream, cd /etc/X11 && sudo mv xorg.conf xorg.conf.notworking -- then restart X or GDM or Reboot | 23:27 |

| lstarnes | chiques: you can find your kernel version by using uname -r | 23:28 |
| chiques | lstarnes, How do I know if it's the latest one? I was messing around with modem drivers and ended up changing my kernel | 23:28 |
| === david is now known as Guest7010 | ||
| lstarnes | chiques: it should usually be the latest version available from the repos for your version of ubuntu | 23:29 |
| lstarnes | chiques: not the actual latest version of the kernel | 23:29 |
| chiques | 2.6.31-14-generic, that sound right for 9.10? | 23:29 |
| lstarnes | chiques: I think so | 23:29 |
| apocalypt | chiques 2.6.31-16 is the new i guess | 23:30 |

Cannot locate xorg config file either! | 23:33 |

| jedi06 | ZykoticK9, ^ | 23:33 |
| matju | ActionParsnip,Billiard: so, what could i do, beyond «sudo modprobe sdhci» ? | 23:33 |

| jedi06 | Normal | 23:34 |

| Tina- | :O | 23:34 |
| MatBoy | does someone know a nice shortname for ubuntu ? | 23:35 |
| MatBoy | ubu ? ubun ? | 23:35 |
| ZykoticK9 | jedi06, if you set it to None then flash-clicking will work (for a work around you can try click and holding your right button down, then left click on the flash button and it might work as well) | 23:35 |
| apocalypt | hyperstream: or try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 23:35 |
| matju | jedi06: if you intend to use VNC remote-desktop across the atlantic, i recommend to turn off compiz, all other wm effects, and font antialiasing as well, ... and pick a client wisely. | 23:35 |
| torasuku | MatBoy, what's wrong with "ubuntu"? | 23:35 |
| hyperstream | apocalypt i did that, doesnt do anything ;/ | 23:35 |
| ActionParsnip | matju: sudo rmmod usb_storage; sleep 5; sudo modprobe usb_storage | 23:35 |
| MatBoy | torasuku: to lon in my hostnames ;) | 23:35 |
| MatBoy | *long | 23:35 |
| matju | jedi06: otherwise, it's a matter of whether it distracts you. | 23:35 |
| apocalypt | Tina-: did u get your eee-aplet? | 23:35 |
| Tina- | apocalypt: no :( | 23:36 |
| ActionParsnip | !ask | ae86-drifter | 23:36 |
| ubottu | ae86-drifter: 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. :-) | 23:36 |
| jedi06 | well why in the F*** doesn't it just work! | 23:36 |
| apocalypt | hyperstream: do u use a nvidia card? | 23:36 |
| ae86-drifter | ActionParsnip i did ask a question!!!!!!!!!!!! | 23:36 |
| ae86-drifter | i need help desperately, i just installed linux-image, now when i boot up i just get black creen, i can switch to the CLI with ctrl+alt+f1 but when i goto f7 it is blank, startx tells me X is already running.. i restored a backup of my x11.conf file and still get a blank screen! | 23:36 |
| matju | jedi06: or whether it eats your CPU or slows down your GPU, ... | 23:36 |
| ActionParsnip | MatBoy: its 6 characters, why is it too long? | 23:36 |
| Billiard | matju: i have no idea, im not so good at getting devices to be detected if they dont work out of the box | 23:36 |
| hyperstream | apocalypt nope, intel laptop one | 23:36 |
| lstarnes | ActionParsnip: what graphics card are you using? | 23:36 |
| lstarnes | ActionParsnip: oops, that was for ae86-drifter | 23:36 |
| Tina- | tried the instruction on the form but i got some error about etc/init.d/hotkeys-start not excists | 23:36 |
| jedi06 | well it is just aggravating to have these little bugs. | 23:37 |
| leaf-sheep | hyperstream: What resolution? | 23:37 |
| ActionParsnip | ae86-drifter: linux-image is default installed in ubuntu | 23:37 |
| hyperstream | 1024 | 23:37 |
| matju | ActionParsnip: it's not a usb_storage device, is it? it only appears on the PCI bus. my SD reader is built into the laptop. | 23:37 |
| linuxguy2009 | Hey guys Im using a live CD and starting synaptic and marking all upgrades, followed by generate package download script. I ran the bash script and all of the updates for 9.04 are a folder on my desktop. Theres 272 updates total. I was gonna put em on a CD-R and include a bash script called install.sh that just runs "sudo dpkg -I *.deb" from within the CD, but are there any other alternatives to this like are there any GUI tools that I | 23:37 |
| ubuntuxxx | i found hundreds of tutorials for creating a bootable ubuntu live usb drive. what i'm trying to find is a way to create a windows install usb FROM ubuntu. please if you know some way let me know! | 23:37 |
| ActionParsnip | lstarnes: nvidia 6150 onboard 512Mb | 23:37 |
| MatBoy | ActionParsnip: because it is... | 23:37 |
| hyperstream | i just need to get it back to default | 23:37 |
| hyperstream | as if i just reinstalled it | 23:37 |
| apocalypt | Tina-: a symbolic link of that program in /etc/init.d/ doesn't work? | 23:37 |
| ActionParsnip | matju: its on the usb bus | 23:37 |
| linuxguy2009 | It would be a service pack for Ubuntu 9.04 thats my goal. | 23:37 |
| lstarnes | ae86-drifter: which graphics card are you using ? | 23:38 |
| ae86-drifter | geforce 7600 | 23:38 |
| ActionParsnip | linuxguy2009: just install the updates and it will be a "service pack" equiv | 23:38 |
| hyperstream | i just had to unplg the monitor | 23:38 |
| henrik__ | linuxguy2009, I dont know if UNetbootin would od it for you if you have windows in a .iso file | 23:38 |
| hyperstream | the second monitor | 23:38 |
| hyperstream | thanks guys | 23:38 |
| hyperstream | life savers | 23:38 |
| flupke | so, there is no way to wrap firefox with padsp anymore ? | 23:38 |
| lstarnes | ae86-drifter: are you using the proprietary drivers for nvidia cards? | 23:38 |
| chris231989_ | ubuntuxxx: could you not just use dd to copy the windows isntall disk to usb dirve | 23:38 |
| ae86-drifter | lstarnes yes | 23:38 |
| ActionParsnip | ae86-drifter: if you remove the video driver you use, you should get a display | 23:39 |
| matju | ActionParsnip: if so, then how come lsusb doesn't show it? | 23:39 |
| apocalypt | hyperstream: try this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=670645 | 23:39 |
| ae86-drifter | ActionParsnip, i dont know how to from CLI | 23:39 |
| ubuntuxxx | chris23 | 23:39 |
| linuxguy2009 | ActionParsnip: Yeah I know how to install them manually. I guess I could just throw em in a CDR and manually install them on a fresh install. Dont get much easier I guess. | 23:39 |
| ActionParsnip | ae86-drifter: what video card do you have? | 23:39 |
| ZykoticK9 | linuxguy2009, dpkg -i won't work unless you get the order right! check out apt-on-cd (or something like that), OR just copy all the files to /var/cache/apt/archive <- this is what I do to save having to alway download all updates | 23:39 |
| ae86-drifter | apt-get remove nvidia ? | 23:39 |
| ubuntuxxx | chris231989_ all i have is an iso. can i just dd an iso to usb and it will work? | 23:39 |
| ae86-drifter | nvidia 7600 | 23:39 |
| ActionParsnip | ae86-drifter: sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia*; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove | 23:40 |
| chris231989_ | ubuntuxxx: i've never done it but i belive you can just use if=/path/toiso/blah.iso then ?path/to/usbdrive | 23:40 |
| cmacis | Hey all. I've just reinstalled karmic and I need some help. The screen is bigger than my monitor, so I'm only seeing the top left of the screen. I've been into system>preferences>display but none of the settings there worked. Every setting but the one I'm on turned everything into lines | 23:40 |
| chris231989_ | ?=/ | 23:40 |
| linuxguy2009 | ZykoticK9: well actually "sudo dpkg -i *.deb" works perfectly in any folder full of deb packages. | 23:40 |
| ActionParsnip | linuxguy2009: you can use aptoncd | 23:40 |
| Billiard | chris231989 ubuntuxxx i think there is more to it than that | 23:40 |
| Hilikus | whats the status on installing ubuntu server on an ext4 partition? | 23:41 |
| ZykoticK9 | linuxguy2009, only if you are VERY lucky | 23:41 |
| Hilikus | still not recommended? | 23:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Hilikus: go for it | 23:41 |
| lstarnes | Hilikus: I haven't heard anything about it | 23:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Hilikus: the kernel is good with ext4 | 23:41 |
| linuxguy2009 | ZykoticK9: You just have to know what your doing when you make your repo disks to get all the deps. | 23:41 |
| lstarnes | Hilikus: although I do recall something about an issue eith ext4 and large files. It may or may not have been patched if it actually does exist | 23:41 |
| Hilikus | ActionParsnip: i heard there was a problem with data loss, i heard it was gonna be fixed in 2.6.30 i think | 23:41 |
| lstarnes | *with | 23:41 |
| Hilikus | the other problem was grub | 23:41 |
| ubuntuxxx | billiard: my intuition would be to agree with you. although after chris suggested, i went and checked a bit and it seems its doable | 23:41 |
| lstarnes | 2.6.30 has been out for a while | 23:42 |
| ActionParsnip | ae86-drifter: you will then be able to reboot and use a safer driver | 23:42 |
| lstarnes | and ubuntu 9.10 uses 2.6.31 | 23:42 |
| ActionParsnip | Hilikus: then use karmic ;) | 23:42 |
| linuxguy2009 | 9.10 yuuuuk ok im outta here. | 23:42 |
| cmacis | It's weird because the openchrome drivers are installed, and that's what my laptop needs | 23:42 |
| LetsGo67 | Istarnes: the computer shut down on itself due to the overheating. After the reboot, the fan is up and running, albeit rather noisy. | 23:42 |
| Hilikus | lstarnes: yes, but i'm not 100% sure if it was true that it was gonna be fixed in 2.6.30. that's what i want to know if anyone knows of that bug of data loss on ext4 when the FS was not unmounted correctly | 23:43 |
| apocalypt | cmacis: crtl+alt+F1 >login>sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg. maybe it helps | 23:43 |
| Hilikus | lstarnes: also, does ubuntu 9.10 come with grub2? cause i also heard grub1 would not boot up frmo a ext4 partition | 23:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Hilikus: check the bugs logged | 23:43 |
| lstarnes | Hilikus: it does and I think it can | 23:43 |
| * Tina- using ext4 on her gentoo since 2.6.29 kerenl and never had a problem, stem is always on, accept the powerfails ,lol, but that is good itnever broke 'yet' | 23:43 | |
| ActionParsnip | Tina-: get a UPS if your power fails | 23:44 |
| apocalypt | cmacis: after that restart Xserver: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart for ubuntu | 23:44 |
| Tina- | ActionParsnip: i know but i'm poor ;) | 23:44 |
| Hilikus | lstarnes: which one can? grub1? | 23:44 |
| lstarnes | Hilikus: grub2 | 23:44 |
| Hilikus | oh ok | 23:45 |
| Hilikus | thanks | 23:45 |
| lstarnes | Hilikus: grub1 is no longer developed | 23:45 |
| apocalypt | !grub2 | 23:45 |
| ubottu | GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 23:45 |
| kain_ | where can i find the default folder icons in Karmic (ex : Pictures folder, Downloads folder, ..) | 23:45 |
| Hilikus | would i notice any perfomance difference if i install / on ext4 instead of ext3 or the bottlenecks for servers are not on the FS? i know it probably depends on the services runnig, but i'm talking about in general, the kernel, etc and apache, mysql and common services | 23:46 |
| Tina- | Hilikus: grub1 boots ext4 fine, but maybe concider a small /boot partition (maybe eve ext2) | 23:46 |
| Cuddles | quick question, if I'm trying to set up a triple boot with Win Xp, Win 7, and the current release of Ubuntu. Should I install both the Win OS's then the Ubuntu OS? | 23:46 |
| apocalypt | kain_: open nautilus and push crtl+h they are in hidden folders | 23:46 |
| apocalypt | i guess | 23:47 |
| Hilikus | Tina-: i will use grub2 if that's the default in ubuntu now. i installed my server when feisty was the latest | 23:47 |
| Cuddles | so grub will see it? | 23:47 |
| trism | Cuddles: yes, otherwise windows will wipe out grub | 23:47 |
| ActionParsnip | kain_: look in /usr/share/pixmaps | 23:47 |
| ^workman^ | Cuddles: yes | 23:47 |
| Cuddles | sweet! | 23:47 |
| Cuddles | Thx! | 23:47 |
| ae86-drifter | ActionParsnip, i tried sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia*; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove, then i rebooted and i get the same thing | 23:47 |
| Hilikus | Cuddles: i think you also have to do XP, 7, otherwise XP will wipeout 7's | 23:47 |
| LetsGo67 | Istarnes: help please? | 23:47 |
| ActionParsnip | ae86-drifter: could remove xserver-xorg-video-nv | 23:48 |
| Cuddles | yeah i was thinking that too Xp's bootmbr is kind of dumb | 23:48 |
| ae86-drifter | ActionParsnip thanks ill try that hang on | 23:48 |
| ActionParsnip | ae86-drifter: you could also reinstall the kernel you use | 23:48 |
| kain_ | apocalypt : nautilus? | 23:48 |
| ae86-drifter | ok | 23:48 |
| Viking667 | Hi all. I've got a pulseaudio problem. I don't know how to stop it from starting up... and I can't seem to get any sound to work without using pulseaudio, period. | 23:48 |
| apocalypt | kain do what ActionParsnip told u if u are back again | 23:48 |
| ae86-drifter | at boot time i have a selection of about 6 kernels, none work | 23:49 |
| ActionParsnip | ae86-drifter: it will force the system to use the vesa driver | 23:49 |
| apocalypt | kain_: nautilus is the standard file browser of Ubuntu | 23:50 |
| ActionParsnip | ae86-drifter: do any work? | 23:50 |
| kain_ | ActionParsnip : i look already in pixmaps and couldn't find the icons for the folders in "places" | 23:50 |
| Tina- | Cuddles: i sometimes use a weird way to dual boot, i setup grub on none mbr dd that and add that to the windows bootloader, so i always have a spare grub to boot things up | 23:50 |
| ae86-drifter | ActionParsnip no kernels from the boot menu work, they all do the same thing | 23:51 |
| ae86-drifter | well it loads the kernel, just not X11 | 23:51 |
| Tina- | have not tried that with a grub2 tho | 23:51 |
| apocalypt | kain_: try /usr/share/icons/ | 23:51 |
| ActionParsnip | ae86-drifter: ok then read: /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 23:51 |
| RaJiL | hi | 23:51 |
| ae86-drifter | ActionParsnip, removing xserver-xorg-video-nv just worked | 23:52 |
| plitter | why doesnt the tab work for autocompletion of nicks? it worked before. | 23:52 |
| ae86-drifter | i now have gui with a crazy small resolution | 23:52 |
| ActionParsnip | ae86-drifter: got an X server? | 23:52 |
| ae86-drifter | ActionParsnip, yep | 23:52 |
| hdtdi_ | i have a question.. where should i put favicon.ico in my apache2 dirs ? | 23:52 |
| lstarnes | plitter: which client are you using? | 23:52 |
| ae86-drifter | ActionParsnip, so just reinstall nvidia drivers now? | 23:52 |
| apocalypt | kain_: there are also the wallpapers /usr/share/wallpapers/ | 23:52 |
| ActionParsnip | ae86-drifter: then run: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-185 | 23:52 |
| lstarnes | hdtdi_: the highest directory | 23:52 |
| lstarnes | hdtdi_: usually /var/www/ | 23:53 |
| ActionParsnip | ae86-drifter: or 190 if you have the repo | 23:53 |
| plitter | lstarnes: empathy | 23:53 |
| ae86-drifter | ActionParsnip, thanks for the assistance, much appreciated! | 23:53 |
| lstarnes | plitter: it might be a bug in empathy | 23:53 |
| hdtdi_ | lstarnes, should i write something in the config file or in the index file or i just have to put it into /var/www ? | 23:53 |
| ActionParsnip | ae86-drifter: np man, you can keep your 10 USD too ;) | 23:53 |
| VCoolio | what's the svn command to get the newest branch? update / merge / pull? | 23:53 |
| ae86-drifter | haha ok | 23:53 |
| DrUnKnMuNkY | I can't shutdown apache cleanly anymore. There's nothing helpful in error.log. I need to use killall -KILL to stop it. any ideas? | 23:53 |
| eremite | Does anyone know how to edit Tomboy notes so that I can change the default "Today" note template? | 23:53 |
| lstarnes | VCoolio: update updates to the newest revision of the current branch | 23:54 |
| plitter | lstarnes: humm now it works....:p thanks for the help your a lifesaver:D | 23:54 |
| lstarnes | hdtdi_: browsers should automatically find favicon.ico without any additional configuration | 23:54 |
| VCoolio | lstarnes: ok thx, I was kind of confused | 23:54 |
| ae86-drifter | this resulted all from running command apt-get install linux-image | 23:54 |
| hdtdi_ | DrUnKnMuNkY, whats the output when you run apache2ctl stop ? | 23:54 |
| RaJiL | how increment screen resolution? , i have Ati propietary driver | 23:54 |
| ae86-drifter | RaJiL, edit the settings | 23:54 |
